give up

2010-05-14T22:26:00.003+08:00

it's the second time i'm on the brink of giving up.

asking myself why am i doing all these, when nobody even appreciate it.

giving up will make me feel a lot better, really! but why can't i?

u tell me! i am utterly upset

What Does It Take To Be Our Mum?

2010-05-07T21:37:00.003+08:00

what does it take to be our mum?

to forgive and forget

to give and never take

to protect and never neglect

to love and never regret.

to cheer whenever we are sad

to calm whenever we are mad

to be funny with words

to be caring and never hurt.

hope that one day i can repay you,

in whatever way, on whatever day,

hope that you'll be happy all the way

will always love you, come what may

what does it take to be our mum?

nothing much, just you being yourself.

I love you mum, Happy Mother's Day.

Promise yourself

2010-03-16T14:29:00.004+08:00

Promise Yourself
(one the most classic inspirational quotes)

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to
every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel like there is
something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
and expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the
greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give
every living person you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too
strong for fear, and to happy to permit the
presence of trouble.

yet another year

2009-12-28T14:29:00.003+08:00

yet another year coming to its end..

besides trying to keep myself on track for the next change of my life, i often stop and think what have i done over the past year.

this year was quite a difficult year for me. although with a new job, new friends and new environment, i still look back and thought that i have actually missed out a lot. I know that there are certain things that i could have done better, there are also certain things that i have said or done which made me laughed. laughed because of my stupidity.

to many, i am a good guy.. to those who really know me, there's just one. who is my girl friend. she seems to know all the bad about me, which i successfully hide from everyone else in the world. i think this is really unfair to her, because she got nobody to share with. I sometimes feel bad for her, and sometimes, i said to myself, she dun deserve me. it's a blessing that i have been with her for so many years and still going strong, but i fear the day that the endurance stop/depleted. what will happen then? i don't know the answer, but i really wanted to tell her that i am sorry, and that i love her very much. god please give me the will power.

i seriously hope that bringin some distance between me and her will help to minimize the arguments. but i know this is a childish move. whatever that i've told her, i was seriously trying to change her, but all fell on deaf ears. how could i carry on?where will my motivation lies?

where will i be in the next ten years...? where will she be in the next ten years?

am i?

2009-12-16T23:24:00.002+08:00

am i heading to the right way?

got what i wanted, but am not too happy about it.

am i making the right decision?

if yes, why am i in doubt?

am i doing the right thing?

why am i feeling guilty?

am i on my way for a greater path?

i'm scared that i will go backward instead of forward

am i selfish?

i'm too selfish to admit that i am..

am i foolish?

fooling myself to take this chance and telling myself everything will be ok

am i sad?

not sure, there's nobody to talk to, but tears are standing by

I've reached that age

2009-10-06T14:52:00.002+08:00

What age?

Age when u receive red bombs and people asking you, when is yours? But having people asking me on the same time, this is too much...

pls excuse me... i got less than 2 months to work on my yum seng war cry.....

Feeling

2009-06-24T10:02:00.002+08:00

Feeling - composed by Pink

feeling so sad
everything is crumbling
for the heart i once had
is no longer beating

feeling frustrated
lost the will power
every step feels stranded
never felt any lower

feeling down
the feeling that nobody wants.
world is moving without me
presence not felt by anyone

feeling stressed
head is under so much pressure
shoulder often stretched
but still feel tired as ever

feeling demotivated
positive energy all gone
where is the old me
the one that stood up for everyone?

everything beside me is moving for better things, but here i am, still running around in circles, not going anywhere. when can i get away from this rat race, when can i have my breakthrough? when, can i move on....?

                               EXPLANATION

You can choose for yourself whether you want a boy or a girl by following the chart. The woman's age from 18 to 45 (Chinese reckoning) is on the top line while the months 1 to 12 indicate the month when the baby is conceived. By following the chart you will be able to tell in advance whether your baby will be a boy or a girl. Thus, you can plan to have a boy or a girl. This chart has been taken from a Royal tomb near Peking, China. The original copy is kept in the Institute of Science of Peking. The accuracy of the chart has been proved by thousands of People and is believed to be 99 percent accurate. By reckoning, you follow a line drawn from the figure representing the woman's age to a line drawn from the month the baby is conceived. For instance, if the woman is 27 years old and her baby is conceived in January (according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar), then her baby will be a girl. The chart is based on the month the baby is conceived and not on the birth of the baby, B-Male, G-Female. Remarks: A Chinese Scientist discovered and drew this chart which was buried in a Royal tomb about 700 years ago.

Light as Ever - composed by Pink

like a piece of paper
floating thru the air
mind as light as ever
all thoughts are spared

like dragon flies tipping
on surface of a pond
send your panic spinning
out of your head, gone

like snow flakes
gently falling from the sky
your life is not at stake
just let the exam pass you by

like the spring breeze
running thru your body and hair
let your worries float easy
out from your soul and into the air.

mind and thoughts are weightless,
don't let it weigh u down,
be brave and relentless,
come next year, you will be wearing the lawyers gown.

May 13 - What is that?

2009-05-13T10:40:00.001+08:00

Above is a response from a college kid, when asked by a Malaysia's insider reporter, 40 years after the awful incident. I, as one of the million 80's babies will not be too familiar with what happened, but words coming from our parents and generation before them sort of give us the chill to the bone, hoping that it will not happen again. (see it here)

Our history books from Sasbadi and Preston didn't really write about the incident, and i wonder why. Aren't history books suppose to tell us what REALLY happended, so that we can all together avoid such tragedy from happening again?

Well, apparently, maybe not so. Maybe because it's not in our books, our youths nowadays don't have that fear, or hatred in them. They live together as one, one nation. There's no such thing as racial tension for them. They would exchange their mother tounge with one another. Whenever they mention the word 'babi', they REALLY ARE refering to that cute animal.

Received a call from my grandmother last night, telling me to stay away from KL today, saying it's May13, and there will be riot or some sort. You know how old ppl can be so naggy, they will not let you off the phone until you said ok. You can't really blame. Poeple of our generation will never understand the hardship they've gone thru when the real May 13 happended.

Going back to my granny's warning, well, as of now, after hours of monitoring the news online, all i read about is the Perak political crisis.. BORING... So you see, the nation don't really care about this racial tension anymore. especially when you see the chinese community are also supporting PAS. Not because of their practise and believe, but as a stand to protest the governing party to stop their nonsense and do their work.

So tell me, what is May13 today? Racial tension or political tension?

KJ the CBK

2008-12-18T16:49:00.005+08:00

KJ (the oxford reject)

Acronyms can be funny sometimes.. especially when ppl misrepresent it.. What comes into your mind when you see the car number place CBK or WPK? haha!

But we use acronym almost everyday, whether you like it or not. MSN, YM, DAP, PAS, UKM, UM, MU, LFC... (macam-macam ada) They even use acronyms in the parliment, but it all end up quite..... chaotic.

KJ was in the Parliment the other day and he was talking about some issue over the consumption on chicken and pork. Then, out of nowhere, this dumb ass mention the phrase Projek Khinzir Raksasa (Giant Pig Project) and apply the acronym PKR**. This of course started the crossfire over the floor and everyone demanded KJ to retract his words. But of course, KJ the bafoon didn't budge. A PKR MP from Kedah then put up the rules book and protest the use of indecent word in the house. Pandikar Amin didn't give a shit.

During the fight, we can observe that, not only that PKR give up a good verbal fight, but DAP joint in and so did PAS.

Now here comes the funny part.

Someone from behind then said, if there's a Projek Khinzir Raksasa, then what happend to the Projek Babi Negara (National Pig Project)? And what's the acronym for that? PBN! That guy can think damn fast.. haha...

Guess what...? The phrase set fire to the other side of the hall, where all the members of the rulling party (Party Barisan National) ruptured! Most of the bumiputera MPs were shouting "tarik balik" (retract).. and KJ was shouting like a baboon, while the Chinese reps from PBN sat down and watched the entire show.

Classic scene.. no? See the video below!

Pak Lah: Final mission to cool racial tensions

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime MInister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi sees his final mission before leaving office is to cool racial and religious tensions in the country.

Abdullah told The Associated Press that a shrinking economy and deepening divisions between the different communities are the biggest threats facing the country.

“Since I am retiring earlier than I was planning to, (the reforms) have to be done very quickly,” said Abdul- lah.

“I am thinking of how to handle the issue of race relations, and the issue of religious tensions because of so many things that are happening,” he added.

Abdullah suggested that he could establish an institution “where all communities” can take their grievances.

----------------------------------------------------------

Pure BULLOCKS...

How retarded can you be? What racial issue? Do you see racial issue when Chinese communities are voting for PAS? I don't think so.

Let's look at the greater picture: who is raising the racial issues?

Example #1:

Who kissed the 'keris' while having their legal assembly? And who shouted: don't mess with 'M*lays'? What happened to the word 'Bumiputera'?

Example #2:

Who suggested to scrap vernacular school? Why don't you scrap the U-party? It would be if it's not for Dr.M.

Example #3:

Who insisted that in order to preserve the racial harmony, the country have to emphasize on special rights of the bumis? Why not use the word 'M*lays' now?

Example #4:

Who deliberately made false accusation of a Chinese YB, saying that the prayers from a mosque was too noisy? And in the end, the Imams from the mosque stood up and claim that there's was no report made against them? (I hope this currupted former-CM will get the 3mil fine)

Example #5:

Who abused the local media (TV and newspapers) to install hatred among races? What about the reported special TV-programs on TV1? Who made used of the papers to throw the allegations at one of our local MP?

Example #6:

It seems like a different picture shown by the opposition when they encourage ppl to join DAP or PAS regardless of their skin color or religion. DAP is inviting everyone on facebook to join their dinner. Not a lavish one, but I am touched by the efforts of these big-hearted people. This is what the rakyat believes now. I've personally attended a talk organised by PAS near my place and everyone was so friendly. All smiles. I don't think I will get this kind of reception if I attend an U-party talk.

Racial integration is showing its signs of gel-ing. We do not need anyone to remind us of our differences. The country don't need this. Lead by example, this is what the opposition is trying to show us. And they are also sending out a message that a new dawn is coming. A whole new level of 'MALAYSIA' will be introduced where everyone is happy and then.... we will not question the rights of the BUMIPUTERAS.

We will miss Mr Bush

Kaminsky attack?

2008-12-03T12:07:00.006+08:00

How to become a orang kaya within a day.....? like this poor uncle...

He is not too happy, is he?

His bank account was hacked and minutes later, all money gone.. left MYR1000. pity him la, sole breadwinner, son studying in local uni.. and on top of all that, the thief even got guts to use RM500 to top up his prepaid card. Frantically asking the bank to stop all transaction, the banker even saw the money disappearing right under her nose.

This news triggers my interest on internet security. how safe are we?

let me introduce you to this guy.... Dan Kaminsky...

he broke the internet..

with simple codings, he managed manipulate the internet. Started of by hacking into starbucks pay-per-use internet access, he then discovered the same method he use for being a kiasu, he discovered a loop within the internet.

He could have taken control of all the bank accounts online, routings email to whereever he liked. but nooooo...... he went to the correct source and worked with the DNS team to fix it.

I know I might not be as noble as him, but to think about taking control of the millions of accounts online just excites me... I should have studied harder for my IT degree..

so, is this old uncle being hacked? no la... i think his son got hold of his ATM card. hahaha.....

Fatwa-fatwa yang akan datang

2008-11-28T09:41:00.005+08:00

With the recent rumors saying that somebody might ban Yoga, there were many unrest. Somebody I personally know, depends on Yoga to keep their mind and body alive. Follow up from their last stupid ban, they said that shaving your head bald is also a sin. (click to related articles), what's next????

What's next? My friend forwarded me a forecast, what they will announce in the next few months... enjoy.....

Fatwa-fatwa yang akan datang - Please read

Makin hari umat Islam makin ditindas dan dikongkong. Bukan oleh orang Cina, atau orang India atau orang Yahudi atau orang Kristian. Tetapi dianiya dan dikongkong oleh orang Islam/Melayu sendiri. Please read on.

Selepas fatwa pengharaman yoga, fatwa-fatwa yang akan datang adalah seperti berikut :

Disember 2008
Orang Islam dilarang mandi di kolam renang awam. Di kolam renang awam, akan terdapat orang-orang yang bukan Islam yang memakai pakaian renang yang singkat dan mendedahkan aurat (terutamanya amoi-amoi china yang cun dan seksi). Ini boleh menjejaskan akidah orang Islam. Cara yang paling baik ialah kita haramkan orang Islam dari kolam renang awam.

Januari 2009
Orang Islam dilarang pergi ke Pulau Pinang. Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang adalah seorang yang bukan Islam and majoriti penduduk Pulau Pinang adalah orang yang bukan Islam. Apabila seorang Islam berada di Pulau Pinang, beliau mungkin terhidu bau char keoy tiaw yang dimasak oleh orang bukan Islam dan ini boleh merosakkan akidah kita. Cara yang paling baik ialah kita haramkan orang Islam dari pergi ke Pulau Pinang. Orang Islam yang kini tinggal di Pulau Pinang akan diberi elaun pindah sebanyak RM 3000 untuk membantu mereka berpindah ke negeri-negeri yang lain. Perpindahan ke negeri Kelantan dan Terengganu amat amat digalakkan.

Februari 2009
Orang Islam dilarang meminum root beer. Walaupun root beer tidak mengandungi alkohol, namun perkataan "beer" ini boleh menimbulkan keghairan dan kelakuan tidak senonoh di kalangan orang Islam. Dengan pengharaman root beer, orang Islam bolehlah meminum minuman ringan yang lain tanpa was-was. Ginger beer juga diharamkan.

March 2009
Orang Islam dilarang memakan di kedai Mamak. Walaupun mamak kebanyakkannya Islam, tetapi asal usul mereka adalah India dan ada kemungkinan terdapat unsur-unsur India di dalam perniagaan mereka seperti bercakap Tamil dan memakai seluar dalam buatan India. Untuk mengelakkan sebarang syak wasangka, mulai 1 Mac 2009, orang Islam dilarang dari memakan di kedai mamak (kecuali Tun Mahatir kerana dia sendiri mamak kelas I)

April 2009
Orang Islam dilarang bermain ping pong atau table tennis. Ping pong berasal dari negeri China dan oleh yang demikian, mungkin terdapat unsur-unsur agama Buddha atau Confuciusism di dalam permainan ping pong. Orang Islam yang terlalu banyak bermain ping pong akan terjejas akidah mereka. Sebagai permainan alternatif, orang Islam digalakkan bermain sepak raga (tetapi bola raga mesti buatan Malaysia, bukan dari Thailand).

Mei 2009
Orang Islam yang berkerja dengan kerajaan dilarang mengambil gaji masing-masing. Ini kerana sebahagian besar pendapatan kerajaan adalah cukai pendapatan yang dibayar oleh syarikat-syarikat orang bukan Islam. Orang Islam digalakkan meminta sedekah dari orang Islam yang lain. Untuk memudahkan permintaan sedekah, bakal peminta sedekah digalakkan mencangkung di hadapan bangunan UMNO.

Jun 2009
Orang Islam dilarang keluar negara. Terdapat terlalu banyak godaan yang boleh meruntuhkan akhlak dan akidah orang Islam. Perkara ini telahpun dikaji dengan teliti hasil lawatan sambil belajar ke Bangkok oleh Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan baru-baru ini. Oleh yang demikian, orang orang Islam diminta menyerahkan balik paspot masing-masing ke jabatan immigresen secepat mungkin. Perjalanan keluar negara hanya dibenarkan untuk menteri-menteri dan orang kuat UMNO sahaja, itupun hanya jika diiringi oleh ahli Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan.

Julai 2009
Orang Islam dilarang berfikir di waktu siang. Kebanyakkan masalah jenayah dan maksiat wujud kerana orang-orang yang tak ada kerja berfikir yang bukan-bukan. Untuk membenteras maslah jeneyah dan maksiat, orang-orang Islam mulai 1 Julai 2009, dilarang dari menggunakan otak mereka diwaktu siang. Pemikiran mereka akan dipantau oleh Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan dengan menggunakan sekumpulan specially trained monkeys. Orang Islam boleh menggunakan otak mereka di waktu malam tetapi pemikiran dihadkan kepada perkara-perkara berkaitan dengan makan dan minum sahaja.

==========================================================

Please do not laugh. Many of the above will become a reality if we do not do anything. The rational-thinking muslims in this country are simply not doing anything. We let a very small minority of narrow-minded idiots to control our lives. We, especially the Malay muslims, are fast becoming a laughing stock worldwide. We are obsessed with the little little things.

When there are so many important things remain to be done, why must the Fatwa folks spend their time on little things.. tomboys, yoga, etc, etc. Why don't we ever hear anything from the Fatwa folks for social justice, eradicating corruption and poverty, protecting single mothers, helping the poors, educating the ummah, protecting the environment or ensuring fairness in society.

If you are a rationale, forward thinking muslim, please speak up. If you choose to remain silent, it only means that you agree with whatever is happening. And do not blame the non-muslims for all our troubles. We are asking for it.

Internet on a map!

2008-11-25T15:12:00.005+08:00

If I have a map of the internet, what will it look like?

do they have continents?

do they have different landscape?

what about the north/south poles?

All these question was never really on my mind, and actually, we can't even imagine if there's anyone on earth who can map the internet.. (well, that's what they said about Chris Columbus few decades back...)

Woman jailed after 'killing' virtual husband

2008-10-24T09:19:00.001+08:00

By MARI YAMAGUCHI,Associated Press Writer AP - 22 minutes ago

TOKYO - A 43-year-old player in a virtual game world became so angry about her sudden divorce from her online husband that she logged on with his password and killed his digital persona, police said.

The woman, who has been jailed on suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data, used his ID and password to log onto the popular interactive game "Maple Story" to carry out the virtual murder in May, a police official in the northern city of Sapporo said Thursday. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of department policy.

"I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry," the official quoted her as telling investigators and admitting the allegations.

The woman, a piano teacher, had not plotted any revenge in the real world, the official said.

She has not yet been formally charged. If convicted, she could face up to five years in prison or a fine up to US$5,000.

Players in "Maple Story" create and manipulate digital images called "avatars" that represent themselves, while engaging in relationships, social activities and fighting monsters and other obstacles.

In virtual worlds, players often abandon their inhibitions, engaging in activity online that they would never do in the real world. For instance, sex with strangers is a common activity.

The woman used login information she got from the 33-year-old office worker when their characters were happily married to kill the character. The man complained to police when he discovered that his online avatar was dead.

The woman was arrested Wednesday and taken 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) from her home in southern Miyazaki to be detained in Sapporo, where the man lives, the official said.

The police official said he did not know if she was married in the real world.

Bad online behavior is usually handled within the rules set up by online worlds, which can ban miscreants or take away their virtual possessions.

In recent years, misbehavior in the virtual world has in some cases had consequences in reality.

In August, a woman was charged in the U.S. state of Delaware with plotting the real-life abduction of a boyfriend she met through the virtual reality Web site "Second Life."

In Tokyo, a 16-year-old boy was charged with stealing the ID and password from a fellow player of an online game in order to swindle virtual currency worth US$360,000.

What Pink Means

You are influential and persuasive. You tend to have a lot of power over people.

Generally, you use your powers for good. You excel at solving other people's problems.

Occasionally, you do get a little selfish and persuade people to do things that are only in your interest.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.

You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.

You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.

You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.

People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.

Their Wedding shoot.

At the famous 100-year-old Church of the Annunciation in Pengzhou, China. Pengzhou is located in the Sichuan province. It was morning May 12, 2008.

Very early morning May 12, photographer Wang went about preparing to shoot wedding pictures for a young couple, this was the test shot before the shoot...

And then it happened.... the earth quake! 7.8 on the Richter scale.

Bricks fall from the building during the earthquake, which turned Wang from a wedding photographer into a journalist..

'Thank God we were only shooting from outside the church!' remarked a helper.

The stunned couple huddles together at the church ground during initial tremors.

'I shouted to people, 'Run! Run!'' said photographer Wang Qiang. 'The ground shook and we couldn't see anything in the dust.'

As the dust began to clear, the true extent of damage was only beginning to appear...

A scarf from a wedding dress lies forgotten in front of the seminary.

Wang said he thought the catastrophe would strengthen the bonds of the couples who were there that day: 'Having gone through a life-and-death test, they surely will clasp hands and grow old together.'

No one was harmed at the above location.

They'll sure have a Wild story to tell there Children!

'Pumping' Tips

2008-06-12T14:32:00.001+08:00

Petrol la.... not anything else.

Tips on Filling your Vehicles...

This is a Message received from a friend:

I don't know what you guys are paying for petrol... but here in Durban, we are also paying higher, up to 47.35 per litre. But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every litre.

Here at the Marian Hill Pipeline, where I work in Durban, we deliver about 4 million litres in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is diesel; the next day is jet fuel, and petrol, LRP and Unleaded. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 litres.

ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR CAR OR BIKKIE IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS
STILL COLD.

Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground,
the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.... your litre is not exactly a litre.

In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and
other petroleum products play an important role. A 1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business.
But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

WHEN YOU'RE FILLING UP, DO NOT SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OF THE NOZZLE TO A FAST MODE.

If you look, you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode, you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that arecreated, while you are pumping.
All hoses at the pump have a vapour return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapour.

Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS IS TO FILL UP WHEN YOUR TANK IS HALF FULL.

The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof.

This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.
Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated, so that every litre is actually the exact amount.

ANOTHER REMINDER, IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU STOP TO BUY, DO NOT FILL UP - most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

Hope, this will help you get the maximum value for your money.

Got this from some SPAM mails in my office. It's all about the money talk nowadays after the petrol price increased.

Can a family man with Salary RM3,000 survive in Malaysia ????

It's absolutely true and is quite entertaining too
________________________________________________________________________

Let's do some simple calculations here.

In Malaysia , the average family income is RM3,000 /month (where father works, mother doesn't).

I understand there are many families whose monthly income does not reach RM3,000, but, to make things simple, let's take RM3,000 as the figure. Ok lah, right?

Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ....

Calculation starts...

Electricity and water bill: RM100
(No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?)

Phone bill ( Telekom): RM100

Meals for a happy family: RM775
(3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons...?)

Papa takes / teh-tarik during working hrs: RM155
(RM5/day, RM5 ... can eat what?)

Car repayment: RM400
(A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs repayment)

Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam): RM300 (go to work, bring son to school, only can afford one car running) &nb sp;

Insurance: RM650 (kids, wife and myself)

House repayment: RM750
(low cost housing repayment for 30 yrs, retired still have to work to pay!)

Tuition: RM80
(got that cheap meh? i don't think so)

Older children pocket money @ school: RM20
(RM1/day, eat bread?)

School fees: RM30
(enough ah?)

School book s and etc: RM100
(always got extra to pay in school)

Younger children milk powder: RM50
(cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, and all the HA :) expensive)

Miscellaneous:
RM100 > > (shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper)

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so...
No Astro,
no movie @ cinema,
no DVD,
no CD,
no online,
cannot KFC,
cannot McDonald,
cannot go Park walk during weekend (petrol expensive), no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc...

Let's use a calculator to total up... WALAO EH! Aiyoh! RM3,610 already...

EPF belum potong, income tax lagi........oledi RM3,610 ....

How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ???

Our Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle?

How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study by ownself ?...

Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM3,000/month!!!

What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh... Sorry ... it should be Malaysians Boleh, because we're still alive and kicking!!

Our politicians must be mad!!!!

If i got this scenario as a algorithm question:

You have two jugs, you are standing beside a well. One jug has a content of 3 ltrs and the other one has a content of 5 ltrs.

How can you get just 4 liters of water using only these two jugs?

============================================================

Indian programmers will go:

Option 1.

Solution:
1) fill the 3ltr can first and fill the same to 5ltr can. So 5ltr can has 3ltrs and 3 ltr can is empty.
2) again fill 3 ltr can and fill 5ltr for remaining 2ltrs. So 5ltr can has 5 ltrs and 3 ltr can has 1 ltr.
3) pour off/empty 5ltr can, fill the 5ltr can with the contents of 3ltr can. So 5ltr can has 1 ltr and 3ltr can is empty.
4) fill the 3ltr can and pour the same to 5ltr can. So 5ltr can has 4ltrs. the desired one:)

option 2:

Fill the 3 Ltrs Jug with water and put into 5 Ltrs jug.
Now 3 Ltrs jug is empty and there is 3 Ltrs water in 5 Ltrs Jug.
Again fill 3 Ltrs Jug with water and put into 5 Ltrs jug.
This time 1 Ltrs remain in 3 Ltrs jug and 5 Ltrs jug is full of water.
waste the water of 5 Ltrs jug, Now 5 Ltrs Jug is empty and 3 Ltrs Jug contain 1Ltr of water.
Put the 1 Ltr water of 3Ltrs jug into 5 Ltr jug which was empty.
Now 3 Ltrs jug is empty and 1 Ltr of water in 5 Ltrs jug.
Again fill the jug of 3Ltrs and put into 5 Ltrs jug(1 Ltr already in 5 Ltrs jug)
It will now become 4 litre.

and after that, they program.

================================================

Other Asian programmers:

Get a 4litre jug and get it over with......

( we are just plain lazy.... )

Love is

2007-05-11T16:39:00.001+08:00

Love is……

Love is physical,
Love is spiritual,
Love is a mixed feeling,
But u can feel that it’s real.

Love is so caring
Love is so touching
Love is so soothing,
You can feel no aching.

Love is passion
Love is true
Love makes you take actions,
To find the mate to your soul.

Love is about responsibility
Love is about respect
Love is eternity
It will last longer than you expect.

Sometimes, it hurts, I know. Then you’ll say:

Love is torture
Love is pain
Love is something,
That is not easily explained

But, then again:

Love can be fun,
Love can even heal,
Love is an expression,
That can keep u head over heels

Last but not least:

Love your family,
Love your parents
Love your siblings,
Love them like any other things

Thank you for loving me. I love u too.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.

Read a very sad post today. It's about loneliness. So, i took 3 minutes out from my morning schedule to write a poem, for he/she who felt the same. Loneliness, my friend, it's not the end of the world.

here goes,

Your Blog

It takes my heart away,
it takes my breathe away,
it forces my empathy,
I offer you my sympathy.

In This World

Nothing is perfect,
life's always a defect,
Keep your hopes up high,
Don't let your hearts die.

Your Life

It's going to be wonderful,
It's going to be beautiful,
But no one say it's going to be easy,
Just have faith in destiny.

Adopt-A-Rempit

2006-12-21T09:08:00.000+08:00

Got this in my mailbox the other day. Thought it was read-worthy. Enjoy.....

A politician has suggested to his colleagues to adopt one illegal motorbike racer each, so these Mat Rempits can lead a better life. Now, before you guys shoot down this man's suggestion without so much as giving it a second thought, please let me go on record and say that I think this is a BRILLIANT idea. Who cares about adopting unwanted children and orphans? Those are out of fashion already. Nobody wants them anyway.

Let's all adopt illegal motorbike racers!

Who knows, if this works out well, next time those Hollywood A-listers like Madonna or Angelina Jolie wanna adopt another baby from impoverished countries, they can come to Malaysia. Heck, this can even be part of the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 campaign.

Just think about it. Which of the following would you rather adopt?

A) A sick, poor orphan from Cambodia?

B) A starving, HIV-positive orphan from Ethiopia?

C) Or that crazy lawless Mat Rempit from Malaysia?

Obviously, the obvious choice here is obvious. Right? Those Hollywood celebrities would be fighting with each other to adopt our illegal motorbike racers from Malaysia! Think about all the endless entertainment value they're gonna get out of them.

Don't be surprised if the next time you flip open a tabloid magazine, you get see this photo of a new member of the family added to the Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt household.

I heard that soon, our politicians are gonna come up with an Adopt-An-AhLong campaign.

Can't wait.

**It's amazing how our GOV can think of these wonderful and SWEET ideas. I don't mind paying extra toll to fund their campaignsss......... NOT!!!

A Tale of Kopi and Baked Beans

2006-12-13T09:04:00.000+08:00

Here's the scenario.

On the 2nd of Dec, we were having this charity shopping for the firm's Impact day. It's just another donation day for Mindy and I, but, apparently, it was special for someone. This time around, we got Angeline, Rafidah and Melissa to helped us. Shopping for groceries is a normal thing for me, but , after reading this article from Melissa, things will never be the same for me, ever again. Enjoy the show, the S&O show...

A Tale of Kopi and Baked Beans

(an S&O story by Melissa Tan)

2nd November was no ordinary day for me. Sure, it was a valuable rest-day. A day where I normally stay home, catch up on a book but most often, just veg-out in front of the DVD player. However, since I had just completed a project and was currently not fully-assigned, I felt I had some time to spare to help with shopping for and delivering food and items to one of the charities Deloitte Consulting SEA – Kuala Lumpur office has committed to supporting for a full year.
The day began at Tescos, The Curve and I was early enough to stop by an upmarket kopitiam to spend RM3 on a cuppa I could get for less than half the price at Bee Fatt. “It’s okay – the aircond justifies the price.”
Soon after, the others arrived and we proceeded to the Supermarket to load up on foodstuff and other items. We were shopping for 2 homes and each home had a RM500 budget. Time to apply the smidgeon of Home Economics knowledge I have…
Over at the canned food section, we were to pick up some Baked Beans. Heinz sprang to my mind immediately but the price, compared to other brands, just did not justify parting with any of our budget amount. So here’s a peek at my decision-making process, “Since we’re shopping for the homes, who need food to last them a while, we can go for the cheapest, e.g. Tesco Value, and buy lots and lots of cans of baked beans! It’s just food, after all, who cares about the brand?” As I squatted down to pick up the cheapest can of baked beans, another train of thought ran through my mind, “Sure, it’s just baked beans, but would I have bought Tesco Value brand for my own consumption? If not, why am I buying them for the homes?”
Thus at my unbecoming squat position, I vacillated between practicality and my conscience. For those waiting for a moral to this, wait no longer – I applied a 2 by 2 matrix to make a decision (see below; copyright application has been rejected):

* Criteria for determining level of quality:

Strength of brand name
Contents (e.g. low levels of additives, high content of beans as opposed to just water and permitted food colouring, etc.)
Would I buy it for myself?

With this now-proven decision-making tool, the shopping was quickly done and we split up to go to one of the 2 homes. I went to Phyllis Caring Home.
Phyllis was, as usual, happy that we were there, even though we hadn’t given any notice and had dropped by unannounced, right smack in the middle of their lunch. But the oldies paid us impertinent youngsters no heed and continued slurping their soup. This actually gave us the golden opportunity to enquire after Phyllis’ health and get to know her better. Most visitors (I would have imagined) would go straight to spending time with the residents, thinking them the most deprived and loneliest in the home. But few, by Phyllis’ admission, have ever asked her how she started caring for the senior citizens. Not by choice but by circumstance, is the summary. And Phyllis made wonderful lemonade with the lemons thrown at her.
Since all good essays need a conclusion to score those extra marks, I will say that Saturday the 2nd of November 2006 allowed me to take stock of how I view “the less fortunate”. They may or may not be born into their circumstances but using the human spirit yardstick (which measures the amount of effort taken to improve one’s life), they’ve done a lot more than us “more fortunate” folks. We can help by definitely giving up some time to visit them and help them out with chores and activities but giving them some material things like good quality baked beans also count.

RM15 Starbucks, anyone?

1997 was the golden year for MIRC… things that we all do when we have time. And because of this, we learnt how to multitask, between the heck load of homework and tuition and some spare time to chat. I wasn’t much of a chatter back then, but I surf a lot. All my friends know the command in MIRC to secure your nick, bomb a chat room and also to meet girls. As you all know that my nick is always with a ‘pink’, guys would just pop out from no where and ask me:” A/S/L”… instead of responding to them, stating my age la… my sex la… and my location…. I just told them… I’m a guy. And basically, our conversation would just end there.

Then people discover the wonders of ICQ, where u can keep your contact.. in a local pc. It was immediately after that, we can hear the “oh oh!” sound all over the place. People playing starcraft in cybercafé is kinda annoyed by that sound and thought, “if u want to chat, go home la”

Enough tech talk. Back in school, nothing much new during the first month. Homework and tuition is pilling up by the minute and people always expect that the first class to be the most outstanding and discipline class in the batch. They were right for the “out-standing” part.. we got countless time of “standing-on-desk” incident. It was rather embarrassing, when u think that there’s juniors pointing and laughing at us. Their class is just opposite man…. Wanna find a hole and bury myself.

ever wonder why people around you can keep on telling you that SAME thing? About your studies, your duties, your lives… and yet we have no idea what is the future. Personally, I can’t imagine myself at the age of 40. maybe I will die before that happened. If yes, thank god. If not….. what will I look like, where will I live? What will I drive? And who will be with me at that time. Call me sissy, but I always think to myself that, if ONE of these days, if I ever going to find myself a girl, I will make her the luckiest girl on earth. (Eh, what can I do? I was 15 at that point ok. And my hometown is not as exciting as you think it is).

Anyway, I’m just glad that our school has started. Friends are all around me and entertainment is plentiful. Skyguy, Han Liang, Chern Wey and a few more of us has formed a study group way back in form 1 and we have decided to continue our effort in a new place. Skyguy’s uncle was an accountant. He’s got this very cool looking office, and he had offered us the meeting room for us to study during the weekends. We get to use the pantry to make our tea. Talk about pampered kids! Haha. Overall, I think it was cool how we spent our weekend together that year. I got hooked up with cassettes and walkman and was plugged in 24X7 like what I do now. It was also that year that I manage to persuade Han Liang to join my music clan. He’s still blaming me until now.

ENOUGH SAID

Never been so annoyed in my entire life.

They are building a new castle of our king. Reason being, the balai raya seri, which is something like the royal hall, claimed to be used for too many functions. Com’on!! I know many people in this country can do wonders with that kind of space. So why can’t the king do the same?

Why waste MYR 400 Million on such a thing? Why not use it to help those who really really need a house? Why can’t you use it to help the needies or even buff up the police squad to curb crimes? Why can’t you use the money to fix the f***ing MRR2 bridge, your black dumb ***.? And why the hell, do you used up so much space? What is wrong with the current castle? And where does the money come from?

This is the mentality that we all talk about. It’s about doing the things that you need to do, versus, doing things that you want to do. We heard people talk about the society gap. The rich are getting richer and the poor, poorer. On one side of KL, we have multi-crappy-media stupid corridor, and the other, some slump that they tried to hide with some really BIG billboards. Criminals looking for preys on the streets, ATM machines are being tugged of the banks, kidnapping cases, raping cases, and most recently, murder… What is all this? Is the government ever going to stop wasting money? Are we paying more for petrol so that some rich big bottom basket get to live in a bigger place? Are we paying our tax so that you can feed the fat ass cops? I don’t think so!!

If there’s something wrong with this country, it’s our country men’s mentality.

We all read about the coup in Thailand. How everything was under control and the shift of power was smooth although there were hiccups here and there. It went well without much violence because they respected their king. Even as a foreigner, I respected their king too. Judging from the amount of things that the king has put forward for his kingdom and the country, and the fact that he uses his own money to improve the living is some sub-urban areas. And because they respected their kings, they have HM shrines all over the place, nicely decorated. Even I paid respect to those shrines. Here, people worship their kings. And I think HM The King here can build his own palace, with his own money.

ENOUGH SAID.

Hinder - Lips Of An Angel

2006-11-01T14:41:00.000+08:00

Never knew the existance of this song until this morning, when Rudy and JJ used the lyrics as a gotcha call... well, it's a song... that brings back some bitter and sweet memories... the story only my closest friends would know. anyhow, I enjoyed this song a lot.

Hinder - Lips Of An Angel

Honey why you calling me so late
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey why you crying
is everything okay
I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel

Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And yes I dreamt of you too

And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue

Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel

Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
(And I never wanna say goodbye)
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey why you calling me so late

Now that i have what i want... do you have what you want?

OMG, if you can see the pictures, i think you will stop eating salted fish for at least 1 month.

They found this in Teluk Bahang, and i think that lucky fisherman who found this is going to make a fortune from selling this big piece of salted fish.

Now that we all cannot stop imagining, are we the only inteligent species on this planet? is there such things as an under-world kingdom. and is there such things as a mermaid. for guys out there, sorry to disappoint you, mermaids are not as pretty as they say it is. and you might have a tough time kissing one, judging on the arrangements of their teeths.

Pls send in your findings to my mail, if you have any interesting sightings that you want to share. Before i sign off, i would like to say, Piece to the universe... ah, and the fishes..

Seether - Broken

2006-08-22T13:53:00.000+08:00

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel light when you’re gone away

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel light when you’re gone away

Schools are evaluated on some of the measures used in well-known rankings published by Shanghai Jiaotong University and the Times of London Higher Education Survey. Fifty percent of the score came from equal parts of three measures used by Shanghai Jiatong: the number of highly-cited researchers in various academic fields, the number of articles published in Nature and Science, and the number of articles listed in the ISI Social Sciences and Arts & Humanities indices. Another 40 percent of the score came from equal parts of four measures used by the Times: the percentage of international faculty, the percentage of international students, citations per faculty member (using ISI data), and the ratio of faculty to students. The final 10 percent came from library holdings (number of volumes).

Snow Patrol - RUN

2006-08-16T11:39:00.000+08:00

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Anyway from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyeI nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
I just want to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

===================================

No matter what happens, or where you are, sounds from each corner will be with you, and that every ray of lights will shine on you, and guide you through all your troubles, like what i always do.

Don't Worry..

2006-08-08T17:34:00.001+08:00

don't worry dear,
everything will be alright.
minor let down is usual in life,
how you deal with it determines your character.

don't worry dear,
everything will be alright.
frustration happens all the time,
find your centre, it will make you calm.

don't worry dear,
everything will be alright.
everytime when you did something wrong,
you learn one more thing to make it right.

don't worry dear,
everything will be alright.
sadness and happiness is equal in life,
sadness will make happiness more fun to bare.

don't worry dear,
everything will be alright.
the only pity thing in this world,
is lack of love and attention,
but you are filled with it.

don't worry dear,
everything will be alright.
bad day is always followed by good days,
just like that rainbow after the rain.

don't worry dear,
everything will be alright.
obstacle makes you stronger,
just like how the hot sun made the grass greener.

don't worry dear,
everything will be alright.
worrying is like putting grey color to your days...
why don't you try to cheerful colors like pink and sky blue?

don't worry dear,
everything will be alright.
life is not perfect, life is not fair,
but when you need an ear, i will be there.

Maybe Now..... they will do something about it.

What have seen on TV, papers, websites about people being killed or slash. Police force has so far brushed off the responsibility from their shoulder. I'm very sure every know about the TARC students that was slashed ealier this week and then, THIS happened:

Jacket may have cost Azlini her life

PETALING JAYA: Had Azlini Azmi not forgotten her jacket, she might still be alive today.
The 26-year-old hotel housekeeper who was found murdered in Bandar Sunway on Tuesday had arrived at her workplace in Sunway Mentari on Sunday night when she realised that she had left her jacket at home.

Her boyfriend Mahadir Joffri, 21, who had sent her to work, then took her home to Old Klang Road to get the jacket.

Azlini: Had only been working at the hotel for about a monthWhen they reached Sunway Mentari, Mahadir dropped her off at a petrol station near the hotel at about 10.45pm.
Azlini took a short cut across an empty field but never made it to the hotel – she was hacked to death.

Her body was found at 1.45pm on Tuesday, with her clothes ripped off.
According to Petaling Jaya CID chief Deputy Supt Ahmad Asri Jamaluddin, Mahadir and Azlini's housemate, a woman in her 20s, contacted the police after reading reports about a woman found dead in Bandar Sunway.

“They were taken to the University Malaya Medical C centre mortuary, where they positively identified her,” he said yesterday.

DSP Ahmad Asri said the motive was most likely robbery, as Azlini’s purse was missing.
“However, we are not ruling out rape,” he said, adding that police were still awaiting the results of lab tests to confirm if she had been sexually assaulted.

Yesterday, Azlini’s younger brother Azman, 23, arrived from his family home in Kedah at 11am and, after viewing her body at the mortuary, confirmed that the victim was his sister .
Azlini had only been working at the hotel for about a month.

And maybe after this, the robbers will be caught and punished. We all hope so, i guess

Speechless

2006-06-29T10:20:00.000+08:00

I am speechless, I am sad, and i am depressed

One site of earth, we are trying to uncover some holy truth, and the other side of the world, we have this.

Many would blame the religion. but i don't. I don't want to get myself burn, not yet at least. Instead, i would wanna blame the people that misinterpreting their believes and abusing their holy books, because they thought, this is the msg from god. (Allah, you better sms them soon.)

In there's any god, or human beings can bear with such sad sight? Is he happy to see this? If they can do this to a kid, what would they do when they are allowed to play with nukes?

God would never ask us to hurt anyone. and God wants us to live in perfect harmony. with OTHER RELIGION. God would want us to use religion as a guide, not strict rules. In this case, i think God would want us just to forget about them. Bring on the ARK!!

outrages!!

2006-06-16T10:07:00.000+08:00

Ok, so, they wanna play with themselves and themselves only. then you go la to wanking party. we don't care. but you better find a thicker bush to do that, if not we will charge you with illegal gang wanking and indecent behaviour.

I mean, what is this. It's a multi racial country. can you guys just shut up. we gave you the right to talk louder than us, but don't make sensitive and stupid comment like this. Inter-racial activites are good and i believe a lot of people would agree to that especially on festive seasons like this.(mindy, don't think otherwise when i mention "inter-racial" ok?) we didn't say anything when you do it to the cows now, did we? you inter-species fonies...

lessons learnt today:

It's bad to have too many wives. Legal or illegal ones. (i don't care)
It's bad to do it to the cows. (it's inhuman) who's going to eat the cow later? them also...
It's bad to wank or do it with your best mates.(dude, your mates still need to shit with that)
It's bad to have Kelantan in M'sia. (somebody grant them independence, so that they can wank quietly.)

disclaimer: this article is written to point out that PAS (party amat stupid) is living up to their reputation. no other intention. thank you.

Perspective

2006-06-15T18:00:00.000+08:00

It’s a harmony of lines. It’s a parade of colors. It’s the combinations of several horizons. And it defines the pictures that you take. Perspectives may vary from one person the other. But we can learn from one another and setup our own views. Eventually, we all will know the perfect angle for a certain shape, color and even timing of a picture. Taking picture is not just about the people, objects or landscape. It’s all about how you see it, and how you want other people to see it.

Remember, you determine what your picture will look like. Not anything else. Not the people, not the object and certainly not the landscape.

Spot the ball contest!!

2006-06-13T10:52:00.000+08:00

there should be 3-5 five balls in the picture... spot them...

Stored digital images won’t last forever

By CELESTE mailto:FONGceleste@thestar.com.my

KUALA LUMPUR: Memories of a great vacation or important occasions are best captured on camera. But consumers have been warned that digital images stored on recordable disks or hard drives will not last forever.

They face the risk of losing their treasure trove of “memories” within seconds – by an accidental click of the button or computer virus, according to the Federation of Commercial Photographic Society. (eh... hello....... virus cannot attack CD one la.)

Its secretary-general Jeffrey Sek said consumers had approached their members to help salvage or restore images destroyed after their disks were infected.

“One customer stored all digital images of her two-year-old child since his birth in a compact disc without making any prints. When her computer was infected, she lost everything,” he told a press conference organised by MCA Public Service and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong. (what's Michael Chong doing here? he got photo printing shop meh??)

Sek advised consumers to get their digital images printed so that they could keep them for years to come. (this Sek must be someone who lose money because nobody's printing!!)

“Many consumers have the impression that images stored on recordable disks last forever.
“There are tips to preserve the disks but they can be tedious as one needs to store the CDs at a certain temperature and under specific conditions which may not be convenient for ordinary consumers.

“Also, new technology keeps emerging with gadgets being produced and what is considered new will turn obsolete like the VHS tapes.”

Sek said the society now had more than 2,500 members nationwide and consumers could always pick the most convenient photo studio to print their photographs.

The society is currently running a campaign to create awareness on the risk of storing digital images on recordable disks and advising consumers on the importance of printing their photos.
Sek said the average price was now 60 sen per 4R print while those printing a large quantity would get further discount.

==================================

okok, everyone's thinking of the same thing. No doubt, we cannot say that backing up pictures to CD's safe. and he is right that we have to store the CD properly. If these comments we read now is made few years back (ie. ten years) we would say:" ooooooo is it??"

but hello? we are already using portable DVD writer!! what is this? virus cannot attack CD!! hiyo.......... (pek chek)

60 sens for 1 4r picture... shit, i pay 50 sens for one piece for CDR!!! and it can store thousand of pictures!!

please use your brain to come out with marketing plan. nono.. what i mean was, use a updatable brain to make such comments please.. you are humilating the whole IT populations, including yourself!!!

疑飆車 3車相撞4死

2006-06-05T11:25:00.000+08:00

2屍體從橋縫墜地

（八打靈再也5日凌晨訊）恐怖死亡車禍！
疑非法賽車肇禍，3輛轎車在大道連環撞及分界堤，其中1輛著火爆炸，造成4死7傷慘劇。
這宗車禍于今晚9時許，在南北大道第24.6公里朝大使路方向發生。

4名死者皆是印裔男子，他們是拉美士（23歲）、威再也（25歲）、沙嘉（30歲）和1名人士（身份不詳）。其中2人是兄弟，這批死者當時分乘2輛國產威拉，準備前往隆市，卻途中遇上車禍身亡。
1人送院不治

相信當時衝擊力猛烈，3輛車輛先后撞擊分界堤，其中2輛威拉轎車損毀嚴重，最后1輛轎車當場起火發生爆炸，燃燒的引擎和車身碎片從南北大道上，帶著火花從天而降至白蒲大道，險象環生。

據知，3輛涉及車禍的轎車乘客，首輛是一家洋人家庭，共乘1輛速霸路四驅車，車內坐著1家4口，4人僅受輕傷，目前在士拉央醫院治療；第2輛威拉坐有5名印裔男乘客，3人當場死亡，其中2人是兄弟。至于最后1輛威拉，則有2名印裔乘客，1人被救出后載送醫院途中不治，他們與第2輛乘客是朋友關係。

警方目前從各角度調查車禍肇因，並不排除有人涉及非法賽車，引起這宗悲劇。不過真正原因，仍有待警方進一步確認。

2人墜橋底腦漿溢出

據知，4名死者在轎車激裂撞擊后，整個人從車內彈出，其中1對兄弟關係的死者，巧合地從分界堤之間縫處，墜落橫屍在距離天橋底下60公尺高的白蒲大道第1.4公里處，靠近收費站路段。至于另1人則在高架天橋上面路面。

消息指出，這對兄弟當時墜地過程中，被來不及剎車的轎車撞擊，復反彈路面，頭顱爆裂，腦漿溢出。2人陳屍地點僅相差1公尺，橫屍在反方向的緊急車道。
1名好心華裔婦女，不想讓死者落得死無全屍下場，自告奮勇在警方抵達現場前，拿起哨子充當指揮員，指示來往車輛避開屍體。

Rules of being a Man (not a poof)

2006-05-23T13:44:00.000+08:00

Rules of being a Man (not a poof)

Poof = Gay men in English slang.

01 Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella

02 It is ok for a man to cry under the following circumstances:
a. When a heroic dog dies to save its master.
b. The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse.
c. After wrecking your boss' car.
d. One hour, 12 minutes, 37 seconds into "The Crying Game".
03 When she is using her teeth.

04 Any man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his buddies.

05 Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours.

06 If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever, unless you actually marry her.

07 Moaning about the brand of free beer in a buddy's fridge is forbidden. However, complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.

08 No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering your buddy's birthday is strictly optional.

09 On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.

10 When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never, ever ask who's playing.

11 You may flatulate in front of a woman only after you have brought her to climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent entertainment, she's
officially your girlfriend.

12 It is permissible to drink a fruity alcohol drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless supermodel ….. and it's free.

13 Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another guy in the nuts.

14 Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.

15 Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever! Issue closed.

16 If a man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything.

17 Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.

18 A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.

19 Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both, that's just greedy.

20 If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer.

21 Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours, except if she's withholding sex pending your response.

22 Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while lifting weights:
a. Yeah, Baby, Push it!
b. C'mon, give me one more! Harder!
c. Another set and we can hit the showers!

23 Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing: i.e. Both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the
conversation you need.

24 Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if necessary.

25 The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a friend" have carnal drunken monkey sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason for you not to
nail each other again before the discussion about what a big mistake it was occurs.

26 It is acceptable for you to drive her car. It is not acceptable for her to drive yours.

27 Thou shall not buy a car in the colors of brown, pink, lime green, orange or sky blue.

28 The girl who replies to the question "What do you want for Christmas?" with "If you loved me, you'd know what I want!" gets an Xbox. End of story.

29 There is no reason for guys to watch Ice Skating or Men's Gymnastics. Ever.

p/s: thank you mindy for the article and for the writer who wrote this. hehe

a little report i read this morning in http://www.thestar.com.my

Mental disorders afflict 21% of Malaysians

KUALA LUMPUR: Twenty-one per cent of Malaysians have mental disorders as a result of the pressures of life, and the figure is rising.
According to clinical psychologist Mahadir Mohamad, based on a survey from 1995 to 2000, depression topped the list, followed by psychosis, and drug and alcohol-related mental disorders.

ÂBased on year 2000 statistics by the Public Health Institute (Disease Burden Department), 108,324 people suffered depression.

ÂThose between the ages of 30 and 59 were most affected by this disease, and the figure is rising by the year,Â he said at a forum on recognising mental health and illness organised by KL Clinical Psychology Counselling Centre here yesterday.

He said anxiety was also a form of mental disorder, with 33,714 people diagnosed with it.
Mahadir, who works for the Health Ministry, said 24,647 people were diagnosed with psychosis. Alcohol and drug-related mental disorders accounted for 21,441 and 27,522 people respectively.

ÂOne of the main reasons for mental disorder is the pressures caused by life, love and marital problems.

ÂMany are not aware that they are suffering from such a disease because they refuse to spend money to get professional help,Â he said.

and we all knew about this all along.

Last week when i was playing badminton, saw this guy smashing his 200+ bucks racquet to the floor, just because he lost the game. and they were not even betting!! (well, at least, i assume they are not, because they were Muslims)

My sunday morning started out as usual, waking up to the sound of "Eagles - Hotel California".. beautiful. Went downstair for breakfast after washing up. Wondering what is there for me to do today? Maybe i might head to Starbucks again, to pick up some reading.

Before i leave my place, i was manage to chat up with my 81-year-old grandma. To my astonishment, below is our conversation....

Grandma (G) - "did you see the news?"
Pink (P) - "not really, why? what's on tv?"

G: now ah, the "zheng hu" (government) wanna catch ppl who kiss and hug (you can imagine the hand gesture that she was making)..

P: Ah ma ah... that's old news liao lo...

G: ah? "si meh?" (is it?) but how come like that one? ppl wanna hug and kiss also cannot...

P: -_-''' Ah ma ah... they all think ah, what they cannot do, we also cannot do in public...

G: "Ki Siau" (crazy) ah!! "ang mo lang" (westerners) all ma kena tangkap lo...

P: hiyo, ah ma ah... i think all ang mo lang dunwan to come to malaysia liao la...

G: hiyo... now the society more conservative compare to last time. last time alcohol you can get in pasar, now wanna get a beer also like have to smuggle thru kastam.

P: yeah lo, like last time you have party every weekend at your house.. so nice...

G: eh, Ah Ping ah, you wanna learn Tango or not, ah ma teach you... (hehe)

P: wait la, i got time first...

G: Hai... come to think of it, the new ah tau (head/lead/minister) also no use one... coming out will all the stupid rules. See him lembik lembik like that... stand also cannot stand...

(and then she went on commenting about more stuff while i unlock the door for me to go out)

As you can see from the conversation above.. Even my 81-years-old grandma also understand what is it like, to be in a free society. Although we claim that we are in the new age, but most of us still have the mindset of the stoneage.

We cannot continue to give up our rights, just because they think it's not right.

My advice to you, my dear government : " The more rules you have, the more rule breakers you will have" It's common sense... and i desprately hope that you can at least have some of those...

Malaysia?

2006-04-21T12:01:00.000+08:00

Before you think, you can take away our basic human rights, I wanna do a shout-out to our real rights in life.

We cry for clean water, basic need for all human beings.

We cry for law to protect us, not to trouble us.

We cry for protection from the government, not extortion from petrol price hike or chicken breast price control.

We cry for perfect harmony among races, not the discrimination among races.

We cry for better service from the civil departments, not longer or extra tea break time.

We cry for better public transport system, not some run down 50 year old bus station that causes traffic jam.

We cry for freedom of speech, we don’t need Karam Singh to report to us, yesterdays’ fabricated news while putting his hand up.

We cry for basic right for food, not mad bird, cow flu or stupid mouth and foot disease to go with them.

We cry for a normal workable policeman, not those fatty that fit just nice in a run-down Kancil.

We cry for better benefits for sportsman and women. Cos we are fed-up to see the 1992 Thomas cup advertisement over and over and over again.

We cry for better education institution. Cos I don’t see Nobel coming to this side of the world. Oppps, sorry. Somebody from Myanmar already got it.

Malaysia?

What is this overwhelming feeling? My hands begin to feel numb. My heart begins to weaken. As I begin to close my eyes to end my day, there you are, in front of me.

What is this overwhelming feeling? I can’t feel the space beside me anymore. Is it you? You are around me, right? I know it’s you, I can feel you.

What is this overwhelming feeling? That feeling that always reminds me of your heartbeat. That feeling that urge me to try to reach out, for a person that I think, who is not replaceable.

What is this overwhelming feeling? I know that there’s something I need to do. Things that will put me nearer to your heart. I dare not own it because I don’t want to break it. I just want to be around it, to protect it, and to hold it, until the day I die.

What is this overwhelming feeling? There’s no jealousy, no lust, no envy, no hatred. It’s the pure and innocent joy that we always put together. It’s our laughter, together, to make our jokes complete.

What is this overwhelming feeling? I can’t breathe. I can’t talk, walk nor sit properly. Jumpy but weak leg has made me wonder if I am guilty of a murder. A murder that take away her life. A murder that has also taken away mine.

What is this overwhelming feeling? I can remember all your touches. All your words, and all your kisses. I can remember everything when I am with you. And for eternity, I hope, to keep all the sweet memories, to keep this overwhelming feeling of LOVE.

I may not be with you now. But I have sent over my heart to you. hold it with care, just like the way I am holding yours.

It’s taking over my mind, soul, and it controls my feelings. Never really felt this way before. Her existence has now taken over what I thought I have total control on. We have long held back our feelings and confession comes after a great deal of courage and flaming desire to own one another.

Cheers!! 80's babies

When I Fall In Love

2006-02-14T08:39:00.000+08:00

Love is not as simple as you think now. TV-shows like Smallville often caught my heart, with all the love triangle, hatred, jealousy and bla bla bla.

The question is, how do you define love? Are you being loved?

I would like to dedicate this song, to all my frens out there. Valentineless or not, today is to celebrate the existance of love, not to support rich merchants with their sales.

There's always someone for you out there. Just look harder.

WHEN I FALL IN LOVE
by Frank Sinatra

When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love

In a restless world
Like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too manyMoonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heartI give it completely
Or I'll never give my heart

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

Happy Valentines Day to everyone.

Yet another issue on cencorship...

Another article of my weekend reading.............

Google Under the Gun

For access to China, the Web giant agreed to censor itself. Why the company made a hard bargain

When web surfers from the city of Shenzhen, in southern China, visit a government website, they are greeted by two adorable cartoon figures, a tiny policeman and policewoman with friendly smiles, no noses (for some reason) and huge melting blue anime eyes. These little rascals' names are Jingjing and Chacha (jingcha is Mandarin for police), and they are there to remind Web surfers to behave themselves because the Internet cops are always watching.
Westerners tend to think of the Web the way we think of the moon: it looks the same everywhere, and when you're on it you can pretty much do whatever you want. But seen from China, the Web is very different. Beijing employs a force of 30,000 Internet censors 24/7, blocking access to many sites expressing nonapproved opinions on hot-button issues like Taiwanese independence and the Falun Gong religious sect. When Western Web surfers search for images of "Tiananmen" on Google, they get row upon row of tanks, the indelible afterimage of the tragedy of 1989. Do the same search when you're in China, and you get a snapshot of U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez and his wife posing in Tiananmen Square on a p.r. trip.

The Web giant Google reminded everybody very publicly last week how differently things work in China. Google launched a Chinese version of itself, Google.cn, that is heavily censored to comply with Communist Party regulations. For a company with the unofficial motto "Don't be evil," a company that has picked up the fallen standard of Internet idealism, that was a bit of a shocker. Did the virtuous Google just sell out its honor?

The harder you look at it, the harder it gets to decide. First you have to figure out what exactly Google just did. Google already has a Chinese-language version of Google.com--it has had one since 2000. But the authorities weren't fond of it, so they blocked access to its cached pages, Google's stored copies of websites, which could be used to view otherwise censored material. Using its online filters--the so-called Great Firewall of China--the government also made Google run annoyingly slowly, and sometimes not at all. The new site, Google.cn, is physically based in China and runs speedily and reliably, but its contents are censored by Google to accord with government preferences. (A warning label informs the user of this arrangement.) So basically, China's Web surfers have a choice: they can use slow, relatively uncensored Google.com or speedy, sanitized Google.cn.

Certainly the decision caused some hair tearing at Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. "It's never obvious what to do in these situations," Google co-founder Larry Page told TIME. "One of the principles we believe pretty strongly is that having really good access to information for people is a great way of improving the world." But in the end Google chose to dance with the dragon--presumably the cha-cha. "Filtering our search results clearly compromises our mission," the company's official statement says. "Failing to offer Google search at all to a fifth of the world's population, however, does so far more severely."

Sounds like a simple enough trade-off. But once you start picking at the edges, you discover a very tangled Web. First, Google's choice may have a plausible ethical rationale. But it is now a publicly owned company, and the decision also stands to earn it truckloads of yuan. China has 111 million Internet users, a number that grew a plump 18% in 2005. Granted, so far few Chinese have credit cards, but when they do, Google's shareholders are going to be peeved if it doesn't host a chunk of the ads that will woo them. And the owners showed their ire last week, not over censorship, but over the crass fact that Google's profit increased a mere 82% in its last quarter. That's not enough for a $433 stock, which became a $381 stock in the days after the announcement. Google may foster a perception that it is beyond the muck of the marketplace, but Wall Street is rapidly getting wise to the less poetic realities of the situation.

Yet it really isn't just about the money. One of the pervasive myths of the information age is that the Internet is a kind of magic spray that when applied to totalitarian states causes democracy to spontaneously blossom forth. "Westerners saw the Internet as this garage-door opener that you could point at closed regimes and open them," says Tim Wu, a professor at Columbia Law School and co-author of the forthcoming book Who Controls the Internet?
The authorities in Beijing have a more realistic take on the power of the Net. They realize that most people aren't going to use it to rally for democracy; they're going to do what Americans do: gossip about celebrities, check the weather, play games and score porn. So the Internet police mostly leave that stuff alone. Wu says the state of the Chinese Internet is even more ominous than total control: "It feels almost normal, so people don't think about what it is they can't get." If anything, the Web has been a galvanizing force for Chinese nationalism. The anti-Japanese riots that broke out last year over a Japanese textbook that underplayed wartime atrocities in China were largely organized online--with government sanction.

And to Google's credit, there are companies that have made far worse bargains in China and haven't got half the public spanking for it. In December the Chinese government took offense at the contents of a blog hosted by Microsoft's MSN service. Microsoft promptly clamped it shut, noting that the company had to obey the law of the land. Earlier last year Beijing investigated a man who used Yahoo! for his e-mail. Yahoo! promptly handed over his computer's IP address. Yahoo! now has one less customer: the man got 10 years for leaking "state secrets."

Moreover, Google's censored version of itself is hardly foolproof. Information is like a toddler: it goes everywhere and gets into everything, and you can't stop it all the time. Chinese doctors were swapping damning e-mails about SARS long before the government would admit there was a problem. Just fooling around with spelling and capitalization can outfox China's online filters, and there's free software available that can give Jingjing and Chacha the slip; Google's free Web Accelerator Tool does that quite nicely.

By some estimates China has 4 million bloggers--are 30,000 Internet police really going to keep them under wraps? Sooner or later the government is going to lose the fight. Being evil just isn't as easy as it used to be, and whether or not Google's actions are ethical in principle, we should all get over the idea that the future of the People's Republic hangs on a bunch of search results.
Global corporations have always had to balance ethical, cultural and legal considerations with financial ones; asking them to define ethical foreign policy is like looking to professional athletes to develop steroid-test rules. As Page puts it, self-servingly but accurately, "It's pretty hard for companies to act as governments. To some extent that's a good thing for the U.S. State Department to be doing. I'm not sure that's our role."

For Google, getting a foothold in the Chinese market now may well be vital for its survival 20 years hence. So it's not surprising that it would trade that financial confidence for a little ethical dustup. The real risk is that some of that dust will stick to Google's snowy-white brand identity. Google trades on its image as a different kind of company. It became a little clearer last week that there can be only one kind of company: the kind that makes money.

Your Taboo, Not Mine....

Your Taboo, Not Mine

The furor over cartoons of Muhammad reveals the zealot's double standard
Feb. 13, 2006

The iconic image of last week was in the Gaza Strip. It was of a Palestinian gunman astride the local office of the European Union. All the diplomatic staff had fled, tipped off ahead of time. The source of the militant's ire? A series of satirical cartoons originally published in Denmark. Yes, cartoons.

A Danish paper, a while back, had commissioned a set of cartoons depicting the fear that many writers and artists in Europe feel when dealing with the subject of Islam. To Western eyes, the cartoons were not in any way remarkable. In fact, they were rather tame. One showed Muhammad with his turban depicted as a bomb--not exactly a fresh image to describe Islamic terrorism. Another used a simple graphic device: it showed Muhammad surrounded by two women in full Muslim garb, their eyes peering out from an oblong space in their black chadors. And on Muhammad's face there was an oblong too, blacking out his eyes. The point was that Islam has a blind spot when it comes to women's freedom. Crude but powerful: exactly what a political cartoon is supposed to be.

The result was an astonishing uproar in the Muslim world, one of those revealing moments when the gulf between our world and theirs seems unbridgeable. Boycotts of European goods are in force; demonstrators in London held up signs proclaiming EXTERMINATE THOSE WHO MOCK ISLAM and BE PREPARED FOR THE REAL HOLOCAUST; the editor of the French newspaper France-Soir was fired for reprinting the drawings; Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned the publication; and protesters set fire to the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Damascus. The Egyptian ambassador to Denmark expressed disbelief that the government would not prevent further reprinting. Freedom of the press, the Egyptian explained, "means the whole story will continue and that we are back to square one again. The government of Denmark has to do something to appease the Muslim world."

Excuse me? In fact, the opposite is the case. The Muslim world needs to do something to appease the West. Since Ayatullah Khomeini declared a death sentence against Salman Rushdie for how he depicted Muhammad in his book The Satanic Verses, Islamic radicals have been essentially threatening the free discussion of their religion and politics in the West. Rushdie escaped with his life. But Pim Fortuyn, a Dutch politician who stood up against Muslim immigrant hostility to equality for women and gays, was murdered on the street. Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who offended strict Muslims, was killed thereafter. Several other Dutch politicians who have dared to criticize the intolerance of many Muslims live with police protection.

Muslim leaders say the cartoons are not just offensive. They're blasphemy--the mother of all offenses. That's because Islam forbids any visual depiction of the Prophet, even benign ones. Should non-Muslims respect this taboo? I see no reason why. You can respect a religion without honoring its taboos. I eat pork, and I'm not an anti-Semite. As a Catholic, I don't expect atheists to genuflect before an altar. If violating a taboo is necessary to illustrate a political point, then the call is an easy one. Freedom means learning to deal with being offended.

Blasphemy, after all, is commonplace in the West. In America, Christians have become accustomed to artists' offending their religious symbols. They can protest, and cut off public funding--but the right of the individual to say or depict offensive messages or symbols is not really in dispute. Blasphemy, moreover, is common in the Muslim world, and sanctioned by Arab governments. The Arab media run cartoons depicting Jews and the symbols of the Jewish faith with imagery indistinguishable from that used in the Third Reich. But I have yet to see Jews or Israelis threaten the lives of Muslims because of it.

And there is, of course, the other blasphemy. It occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, when fanatics murdered thousands of innocents in the name of Islam. Surely, nothing could be more blasphemous. So where were the Muslim boycotts of Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan after that horrifying event? Since 9/11 mosques have been bombed in Iraq by Islamic terrorists. Where was the rioting condemning attacks on the holiest of shrines? These double standards reveal something quite clear: this call for "sensitivity" is primarily a cover for intolerance of others and intimidation of free people.

Yes, there's no reason to offend people of any faith arbitrarily. We owe all faiths respect. But the Danish cartoons were not arbitrarily offensive. They were designed to reveal Islamic intolerance--and they have now done so, in abundance. The West's principles are clear enough. Tolerance? Yes. Faith? Absolutely. Freedom of speech? Nonnegotiable.

Whose fault is it? The cartoon? The press? The people? The third world's mindset? History has showed us that every war ends on the round table. Can we all just behave like a civilised human being. Can we all just die with old age, and not because of war? (hahah)

Moral crusaders turn molesters

BY MARC LOURDES

KUALA LUMPUR: A group of moral crusaders had the tables turned on them when they were arrested by the police for allegedly molesting a woman they had caught for khalwat.
A 21-year-old banquet supervisor and his 17-year-old sales assistant girlfriend, who were at her brother's home in Kg Sungai Penchala, had a shock when the men kicked open the door and stormed into the house.
Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Dzuraidi Ibrahim said the men, aged between 24 and 44, beat up the boyfriend when he tried to explain that they had not been doing anything wrong, causing him to suffer injuries to his face, eyes and body.
“They then broke into the bathroom where the girl was taking a shower and allegedly groped and fondled her.
“One of the men also slapped her,” said ACP Mohd Dzuraidi.
The men then dragged the couple to the Brickfields police district headquarters to lodge a police report against them for khalwat.
However, they received a nasty surprise when police arrested them instead after the girl lodged a report against them.

What a disgrace!! I got no further comments. But I am sure you all do.

心很空天很大云很重我很孤单却赶不走
捧着她的名字她的喜怒哀乐往前走多久了
一个人心中只有一个宝贝久了之后她变成了眼泪
泪一滴在左手凝固成为寂寞往回看有什么

那女孩对我说
说我保护她的梦
说这个世界对她这样的不多
她渐渐忘了我但是她并不晓得遍体鳞伤的我一天也没再爱过

那女孩对我说
说我是一个小偷
偷她的回忆塞进我的脑海中
我不需要自由只想背着她的梦一步步向前走她给的永远不重

一个人心中只有一个宝贝久了之后她变成了眼泪

那女孩对我说

Instead of having classy name, wouldn't it be nice to have your customer laughing while ordering their food....?

Involved or committed?

2006-01-14T20:09:00.000+08:00

Which one are you? Are you involved in a relationship, or you are committed to it?

Read about a story once, and I would like to share with you all.

When you see a couple going out, what do you think about them? Are they committed? Maybe they are just involved in the relationship. They like to do something together. They are in love.

Love can be simple when you are merely involved. Doing things together is fun. Movies, dinner, shopping and even clubbing sounds fun.

But when your relationship grows old, there will be a lot of stuff to think about. Some would claim that it’s a bit “ma fan” or tedious. There are so many things for you to think. What do you see in the relationship in another 2 years or 5 years time? You may also starting to count how long have you two been together. But to me, you are just involved in the relationship.

One fine day, when the church-bell sound, when you exchange vow, and your “Tiffany” rings. That’s commitment.

There’s a funny saying. A relationship can be represented by a plate bacons and eggs. In that plate, the chicken is only involved. (Laying an egg is not as hard as you think). But the pig is committed. May your relationship ends with a pig marriage.

Candid shots..

2006-01-01T13:45:00.000+08:00

Candid shots… it’s worth any penny that you may or may not have in your pants. Why say that? Well, it’s simply because, from a candid shot, it can be a terrible one.. no doubt, it will not worth any penny. But when you really have a good one, then maybe, it’s priceless.

Candid shot is all about timing. When is that fella going to smile? or put his/her tongue out? When will she have her most natural smile. When will they show their true-self?

When we are really really happy, that smile is priceless and you cannot even act it up even if somebody pay you to. When you are taking pictures, you only concentrate on… which type of smile will make me look good. What kind of angle will me look for macho or skinny. Which way shall I look to hide my ugly side of my face.

What is worth of a picture? To proof that you were there? To tell everyone that who are you currently with? To show off to your friends that you are wearing designer dress? Is there any picture in this world that signifies, how you really feel that time? Posing for a picture is actually the same as posing infront of a mirror. with your killer look and a flatter stomach. But how long can you keep on hiding it? (your stomach, I mean)

Candid moment is all around us. It’s on our face.(sometimes on our belly too) It’s on the face of your family and friends. And off course, when you are with your love ones, you both will have it too.

Today’s classic statement will be:

Dinner out with friends, RM 200

Fussball and Pool, RM25

UGLY Faces of the people you cherish the most…. Priceless…. (ahahhaa)

p/s: happy new year! and thank you for your support.. this blog meant a lot to me.. glad that i have you all to share it with me...

What color are you..... ??

2005-12-28T14:14:00.001+08:00

Phuay Pink, your true color is Blue!

You're blue — the most soothing shade of the spectrum. The color of a clear summer sky or a deep, reflective ocean, blue has traditionally symbolized trust, solitude, and loyalty. Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you'd rather connect deeply with a few people than have a bunch of slight acquaintances. Luckily, making close friends isn't that hard, since people are naturally attracted to you — they're soothed by your calming presence. Cool and collected, you rarely overreact. Instead, you think things through before coming to a decision. That level-headed, thoughtful approach to life is patently blue — and patently you!

What i did last weekend

2005-12-07T09:37:00.000+08:00

Well, to start my weekend, my flower sending mission failed miserably. Sad, but true. But hey, the furniture guy cheered me up (finally) by sending my long waited sofa set.

that's my little cousin sister sitting there. The point of me asking her to sit there is to compare how big the sofa is.... (hahahahh)

right, after my busy Saturday morning, cousin sister ask me to go shopping with her.. (my elder cousin sister) joining is my another cousin from Kelantan and her hubby. “Fantastic” is the word, to describe they did the deco in Starhill. The whole place let me feel so cozy.

Nice eh..

This is my cousin brother in law, with his down face, while his wife is shopping for a bag in Gucci. We spent most of our times commenting and comparing the price of a bag there to the price of computer parts.

Went to IKEA again, for the third week in a row, paying the IKEA staff another 400 bucks. (Still cheaper than a Gucci bag)

Dinner time!! Steamboat buffet in Sunway. And the outcome is………..

That’s my grandma. Sitting duck for us, the photographer. Look at the mess!!!!

That sums up yet another weekend. More to come I hope. Back to my quiet self in the office for yet another 5 days. This is Pink, signing off..

p/s: I think by the time i post this, everybody should be preparing for this weekend. Sales!!!!

Pink by Aerosmith

2005-11-30T09:29:00.000+08:00

For some of you, this might be a very old song.. but i still wanna post it!! muahaha

Aerosmith - Pink

Pink - it's my new obsession
Pink - it's not even a question,
Pink - on the lips of your lover
(oh)'Cause Pink is the love you discover

Pink - as the bing on your cherry
Pink - 'cause you are so very
Pink - it's the color of passion
Ah, 'cause today it just goes with the fashion

Pink - it was love at first sight
Yeah, Pink - when I turn out the light
And Pink gets you high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

You could be my flamingo
'Cause pink - it's the new kinda of lingo
Pink - like a deco umbrella
It's kink that you don't ever tell her <====(HUH??!!??)

Pink - it was love at first sight
And Pink when I turn out the light
Pink gets you high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
Yeah!

I want to be your lover
I, I wanna wrap you in rubber <=====(This is getting worse...)
And it's pink as the sheets that we lay on
'Cause Pink - it's my favorite crayon

Yeah!Pink - it was love at first sight
Pink - when I turn out the light
Pink - it's like red but not quite
And I think, everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

Oh ok, maybe posting this lyrics is not at all wise.. but what the heck...

What the hell will this new recruit do?

2005-11-25T08:59:00.000+08:00

currently stuck to this song...

2005-11-24T08:59:00.000+08:00

《知足》-五月天

怎么去拥有一道彩虹
怎么去拥抱一夏天的风
天上的星星笑地上的人
总是不能懂不能知道足够
如果我爱上你的笑容
要怎么收藏要怎么拥
有如果你快乐不是为我
会不会放手其实才是拥有

当一阵风吹来
风筝飞上天空
为了你而祈祷而祝福而感动
终于你身影消失在人海尽头
才发现笑着哭最痛

那天你和我那个山丘
那样的唱着那一年的歌
那样的回忆那么足够
足够我天天都品尝着寂寞
才发现笑着哭最痛wo…

如果你快乐再不是为我知足的快乐叫我忍受心痛

How do you?

2005-11-22T10:38:00.000+08:00

/*Taken from a song, translated by me..*/

How do you own a rainbow
How do you hug the wind in the summer?
Stars in the sky are like humans,
they don’t know what’s the meaning of enough

If I say, that I like your smile,
How do I keep it, and how can I own it?
If you’re happy not because of me,
Will I let go? And try again?

I tried to hold down a wind, but failed.
For you, I will wish you well, and I will be happy too.
After this, you might disappear from my sight,
Then, only I realize that crying while smiling hurt the most.

On that day, our day,
You and me, together,
That afternoon, that setting, and the music that echoed in our ears,
That memory was enough,
Enough for the lonely me.

I tried to hold down a wind, but failed.
For you, I will wish you well, and I hope that you will be happy too.
After this, you might disappear from my sight,
Then, only I realize that crying while smiling hurt the most.

If I say, that I like your smile,
How do I keep it, and how can I own it?
If you’re happy not because of me,
Will I let go? And try again?

Will I let go? Or is it time for me to give up?

PINK!!

2005-11-14T09:36:00.000+08:00

i know that Pink is my last name and it's a nice color and all...... but i must admit... they have overdone certain things here.....

more food!!! but in the office only.

2005-11-13T00:31:00.000+08:00

Sad.... everybody say i fat after my taiwan trip... hai... back to my diet draft again.. but before that, let me again, introduce some taiwanese food before i retire from my food column.. :(

it was thursday afternoon when one of my colleague decided to "ta pao" food for us in the office.. our first reaction was..."ah? like that we cannot go out for lunch lo!!! hai......" but dun care.. lazy wanna walk out cause everybody wasn't feeling well and the haze in taipei was getting worse..

so anyway, we ordered italian food.. real nice.. "it came in a very cute packet", claims my sister.. (she's a hello kitty freak) cannot blame her taste.. haha

ok, the layout for my blog today is kinda wierd, cannot align it properly.. so u have to scroll up and down to view the picture and my description.. sorry for the inconvinience..

the first picture with the very cheesy look is something like seafood fettucini.. it's as good as it look, and i bet there's a lot of cream in it... yummy!!!

well, i ordered the normal tamato with sausage spag.. the taste is, erm.... basically... tomato.. sour and sweet just nice i would say... cannot argue much... the whole thing with drink is only 50 TWD, meaning around RM5 -6.. cheap leh... (hai, what to do, my per diem so little... )

and the last one, where everybody would just go..:"eeeeewwwwww!!!!" is the noodle.. black one.. i can't really recall the name of this dish, but i believe it's something that gotta do with pepper.. my in-country team lead ordered it... and everybody claims that it's good... but i still cannot accept the color... my first glance at it, i thought i saw it moving on it own.... :"YUCKS!!" haha :P

haha, there you have it.. another nice meal.. and this sums up all the things that i have eaten and taken picture of it... be sure to check my blog from time to time.. new food will be intorduced if i ever got a chance to work in some other countries again.. which, i'm pretty sure tat it will be very soon....!!

CHEERS~~!
