Prince Gives up the Jungle for Celestial...

One day, Prince took a stroll in the park that planted with hundred and thousand of flowers and huge trees. Strolling in the park, certainly a leisure walk that prince may have the least to wish for. Prince walked on the bridge, stopped by, and admiring the gorgeous scenery. He strolled on after that, and suddenly smells an aroma.

Heavenly made scent which attracted Prince so much, he ventured into the jungle a few step away at the end of the park. In a trice, Prince came across a huge tree, and there, laid a flower on top of the tree, circling the trunk, right from the bottom up to the top.

Prince name the flower “Celestial”. From then on, prince took time off to water the flower so as to wish it grows better and healthier. Time passes, Prince decided to give up the whole Jungle, leaving only “Celestial” standing strong on the ground. Prince commanded his soldiers to chop off all the trees except “Celestial”, to destroy all flowers except “Celestial”. Prince gave up the rest of his flowers and green pastures, wishing only to see Celestial, no others will be able to replace Celestial at the moment, and hope for forever.

Prince's Birthday Party....

Prince plans to throw a birthday party on 1 May, knowing that it is a labor day, and most of his friends shall be able to join the occasion once a year - the craziest party! He realizes that Karin’s birthday falls in May as well.

Again, Mr. Logas – The Rush Man of The Year – will be helping Prince to set up the party and invitation; undoubtedly, prince has another plan in mind, he wants to see Mr. Logas going down with him on that night!

Prince wonders, Shall he run, double graveyards, and Lamborghini.

Prince Got Worried....

Prince was worried, when princess had back pain due to leisure activities. Prince cares so much about princess, but also like her so much that he wishes to see her happy all the time.

Prince keeps princess in prayer all the while, hoping and wishing that she is fine with her health, and that she can cope with all her daily problem and activities, if she shall have any. He does not mind bear and share with princess every little tumble or happiness in life if princess wants it to be.

Prince is feeling close to princess, from heart to heart, hoping that princess feels the same too. Chatting with princess has become such a heavenly sent moment, to be able to listen to princess, and knowing that she is fine, this has in fact allow Prince to feel relieve. Prince must admit that he is disheartening to know princess suffered from pain…

Prince with HiS SOul...

The night is burning his soul, hovering over the room. Prince sit close to his “baby”, typing out his dilemma, stress and pressure that have already filled up to his top, breathless he feels.

Prince finally finished his reading that has been delayed, feeling release while reveling in rap music, but, there is a lot more to come. He has to prepare a branding proposal and execution plan to present to his new king.

It is an arduous task to build a kingdom, Prince feels a strong responsibility and commitment towards his new king, he knows if he is able to bring a significance change with much benefit yet different, would certainly help him to excel better in a new environment. He is looking forward to the day.

Prince looks at the ton of paper work, pestered by the due date, he feels for a change. Perhaps, Prince needs a change that may only come in a few years time.

Prince has lost himself in the journey to the summit. His world consists of the dark side, simply a brighter side, and the world that flowered with red rose and aroma. Prince travels through every dimension in his life, and starts to miss the dark world. He keeps himself from fallen angel, who is awaiting him somewhere, someplace at sometimes. Prince also receives invitation to cupid party, to be given the arrow of honor that he may have missed for some times.

In a trice, scenes of his experience flashing through in his mind unveiling his past, feeling like a movie preview. He realizes he has a dual personality, no, not just dual, but, a multi-personality. Prince feels comfort because he is able to safe keep his virtuous, honest, decent yet outspoken personality, and treating everyone with sincerity, though, he may have carried away by fallen angel.

Prince starts to feel annoyance with the non-stop chiming of his cellular phone from ‘Princess M’, distracting his concentration, even his though feels restless. His memory flashes back to the time of his met up with ‘Princess M’ in a castle nearby, during a hang-out session.

Thanks to his best comrade- The Rush Man of The Year – who unintentionally did the talking, hinting, and pushing. Somehow, Prince does not feel right now, and believe it, Prince knows exactly what he has to do next, certainly without hurting any party.

Prince Got CoNfused...

Time goes-by, Prince was confused. It has been quite sometime, the feeling has never arisen, and that the feeling couldn’t be described with words. Perhaps, this is when Prince got trap!

The strong fondness toward Princess, has been ignited, and grow so intense that it can be impossible to extinguish if not properly manage. Prince falls in a dilemma either to ignore, and to allow it to grow further, or to find way to cope with it.

Pestered by the “starting phobia”, afraid of being hurt or hurt someone that Prince likes so much, can be a disaster in life. But, Prince realizes that he is not just fond of Princess, perhaps, the “fondness” has grown further, and to a stage that prince starts to think what would Princess thought about it…Prince seriously got trap!

Prince Got Tired...!

Prince went out with his comrades tonight, the initial intention mainly to enjoy a nice chatting session in Mont Kiara until someone, somewhere, suggested a hang out in ‘breaker’. Prince and Logas felt so reluctant to re-visit ‘breaker’ again, due to his tiredness.

Since they insisted, Prince re-visited ‘Breaker’. However, ‘Breaker’ seems to have full house status on Saturday night. They then decided to sit around coffee bean until they suggested visiting ‘Dragon Bar’.

Prince and Logas turned the idea down, allowing only Kitti and Geraline to enter the club. Prince sensed something went amiss, Geraline was drunk, and meanwhile Kitti seems to enjoy much dancing.

Prince, Logas, Simmy and Cath went on chatting and laughing on the night. Prince just couldn’t concentrate on chatting; perhaps, he was too tired to open his eye now, forcing smiles to everyone.

Prince Got CompliMent...?

Princess compliments prince as a good writer and editor, at which prince has never thought about it before. Prince took up writing as another way to express the feeling deep inside that can be difficult to spill out with normal conversation, or perhaps, some thought that still waiting for the right moment to be conversed, can at least be spilled out in writing!

Truthfulness, sincerity, passion, fondness and innermost feeling, contribute to a good write-up without exaggerating. Prince is only able to write with heartfelt when he, personally, experience it, and that it generates from Prince’s passion. Undoubtedly, Prince’s message is innermost.

Simon & ME- we dropped by Palace of Golden Horses to pick up Doreen and Simon!
Prince

Prince got Stuck...!

Prince got stuck with worry when he was informed about Princess’s health condition. Yes, Princess was suffered from flu, and flu can be a serious disease! Prince’s definition of Flu is tiredness and muscle pain, lying on the bed, couldn’t wake up, with running nose, and non-stop sneezing! It is going to be a painful experience.

Prince just can’t stop thinking about it, feeling desperate to visit Princess, but was stuck with an errand. How much Prince hope he can offer a caring and thoughtful, look after Princess, who may have lain on the bed with sickness.

Prince is willing to give his soul, just to rejuvenate the healthy spirit of Princess, or perhaps, bearing at least part of the painful experience that Princess may be suffering now.

Prince confides the bird of peace, or usually regard as dove, to carry a remindful message to Princess, awakes Princess, to take medicine, and most importantly, Prince’s message carry a warm greeting that would remind princess to take more rest.

Prince’s message forms a considerable part of his worry, blessing, and what’s more, fondness and affection, with best wishes that Princess would recover soon enough. It also shows how important Princess means to Prince…till then…

Prince ponders…The Prince has suddenly been struck with epiphany? How could this be….? How could the Prince feel this? Is Prince finally realizing the true affection for his dearest princess?

Lost his Track....

Prince lost his track, in his social circle. People who like to socialize tend to have a lot of luck, and this luck doesn’t please prince. Prince is looking for something more valuable, that he can find himself, a combination of souls and luck. Prince does not deny the fact that he anticipates a series of fun in the small castle in the near future, with ton of goblins running up and down. Prince seems to find it amusing, and with some luck, to be able to stay within.

BloCking & showing Nasty Figure...

Prince wished that he has a better sense of direction and the ability to predict, but he is not. On the way sending two gorgeous ladies back home. Prince encountered a road block, set-up by the 3, perhaps, nice police gentle man.

A test was done on Prince, to test the level of alcohol consumption. Despite the fact that he was still sober and stand strong, the small equipment indicates a nasty figure of 180+ (safe zone is 70).

To Prince’s surprise, a booking ticket and court case might be ahead of him. However, persuasive skills & negotiation top with personal perception on the amount of money on certain service would certainly help much in this situation. Prince was able to get away, if you have “how” appears in your mind, perhaps, you still don’t know how Prince gets through it…

AtmosPhere..Rock...Simmy Birthday...

Tonight, prince with friends visited Atmosphere, sharing the similar objective – to get Simmy boy down! The most delight is to be able to see someone during the night, to know she’s getting along good. Meanwhile, Prince arrived late due to traffic jam.

Prince has to pick up three gorgeous ladies from three different areas, perhaps, contributed to the lateness, but lateness being forgiven.

Once he arrived at atmosphere, 4 bottles of Black labels stood still on the table, catching our eyes. We all knew the party had begun once the music hit! 6 shots to be given to Simmy Boy, but he still stood strong like a cold warrior with years of accumulated experience.

Troubled with the strong will to bring Simmy down, secret weapon in order, a Lamborghini was served!

To the troops’ surprise, Strong Simmy boy seems to be stronger than we expected, he neither fell nor puke! Prince and Troops have no choice but to serve another secret weapon, helping Simmy boy to choose a tombstone, a graveyard with ton of explosive material stuffing inside, intended to blow him out. Eventually, Simmy boy fell…our mission completed, and we continue celebrating our success!

Oyo…..

Sim’s birthday party marks the start of a strong bond of friendship, it shows how much a friend means to us in our life, and even Prince feels deeply of the bond. We all enjoyed ourselves so much that we did not forget to reserve a good memory, 2 cameras, continuously flashed off in front of us, hundreds of pictures were taken, even the progressive scenes of Simmy boy getting down was taken with great angle. Our camera man, Mr. Logas, was trying his best to snap pictures every second, every minute. Tonight is a night with great passion and serve part of our memories…

The Judgement DAY....

The judgment day has arrived! We can’t wait to see how Sim get pissed drunk In Atmosphere tonight. Perhaps, he ma got his luck though. We have almost 20 participants with 6 bottles of black label, meanwhile, AK-47 & Lamborghini for Sim as complimentary. Certainly, we do not just want him to drunk, but to dance on the floor like a worm!!! (Scary huh), yeah, we are not human, but we are troop of soldiers, swamping in like a bees toward Sim!

Feeling...Marriage..Unplanned...

How do you perceive a relationship to start without feeling? I always believe relationship involves two way communication, and expression of love. Apart from having a busy life in University, many University student gets involves in relationship without knowing the meaning of love, simply they are looking for an accompany instead of a life partner. But when you are getting older and mature, you will certainly change your perception towards love. I met many people who are at their 40s, still single and realizing that, apart from career & money, they miss out their marriage, which remain unplanned. I must advise everyone to balance your life, even if you have a dream, but make sure in process of achieving your dream, you balance what you plan.

Can DREam come TRue...NigHtMare...

What is nightmare? Do you ever have nightmare before? Can dream come true at last?
It is hard to say though. I use to dream about falling down from staircase, the next day when I was collecting my exam result, I failed my English paper. I once dreamed about my dog being hit by a car, and two days later, he die of disease. There are many other incidents that have happened to me, which related to my dream sometimes. I wonder if our dream has any connection with our real life. Have you ever had dream before? And that it relates to your life?

Word of MOUth....

Word of mouth plays a vital role in our life. You may be surprise to find out how many updates we receive in life through word of mouth.

Word of mouth is a spoken communication, and highly valued by organization. I believe you experience that in you life, when an accident occurs in any where, or your friend is getting married or etc.... You tend to spread the occurrence to your friend through word of mouth. Human being has the tendencies to tell their counterpart something that they deem interesting, or something that they know. It is another form of informal communication in our daily life.

People trend to believe in people that they talk to, I would sometime rather categories it as rumor, rumor just like word of mouth moving fast enough to penetrate the crowd. However, rumor wasn’t support by fact.

SMile........

I always believe that Smile is the best medicine in life; I wake up every morning, smiling in from of my lovely mirror, to start my day, and believe me, because it works well. Once a guy told me, laughing is the best medicine because it can help not only release your stress, but also exercises your muscle. People who laugh often tend to reflect their friendliness. Smiles contribute significantly to human relationship. People, who tend to smiles, ultimately help to reduce the defense system of a person that they converse to.

A smile is generated internally, similar to laughter. You need to feel happy, excited and most importantly release. Smiling can be infectious, why don’t you give it a try today, and smile to people around you.

The Circle...We bond to see EaCH other...

I came across a theory during my MBA class on Sunday. We are talking about connection, in many ways. There’s a movie, telling the story of a few people who lead a different life, and something happen in their life that they eventually, all met up with each other, and know each other. It was like a circle of friends, who don’t even know each other, suddenly bang into each other life.

The story tells us that whenever we make a decision, although that particular decision relates only to you personally, but the decision can still affect other people or people around you that you may not realize. How interesting is it to find out that we are actually subconsciously link to each other, and meet up only when the opportunities have come.

Geraline's BirthDAY...

It was pretty rushed today; somehow, it was Geraldine’s birthday. I was assigned to prepare a cake for her, and give her a little surprise. In fact, this role of playing surprise supposes to belong to Mr.S#m (not to mention full name) though! Somehow, he is not around!

I have to arrive at Mont Kiara Coffee Bean early, in fact, they are late. I hand the cake over to barista, and they will help to light the candle for me when we are all ready.

Time flies through fast enough, and it’s almost 12pm, we spotted Cat arrival (another friend of us), and we started to light the candle and sing a birthday song to Geraline. It was fun, and we are trying to stick the cake on her face, somehow, we fail to do so, but at least the cream stick all over her hair then!

We took a lot of picture that night; I found out that digital camera has become part of our lives, and that pictures have brought a significant meaning to us. By looking through our picture, stir many laughter and memory.

Happy Birthday to Geraline…!

Seduction STYles....What's yours...

Logas asked us to try the pesonality test, which, test your seduction style, unfortunately i fall into below category.....

Your Seduction Style: The Charmer

You're a master at intimate conversation and verbal enticement. You seduce with words, by getting people to open up to you. By establishing this deep connection quickly, people feel under your power. And then you've got them exactly where you want them!

What Is Your Seduction Style?

Falling in LoVE? How does it feels?????

How is it feel when you falling in love with someone? I start the confusion again, perhaps, I have never thought of that before? I start to ask myself. Does falling in love mean, you always think of the good time with someone? Does it mean you can’t afford not to see someone? Or does that mean you expect to see her in some time to come and waiting anxiously for it? While typing out my curiosity, the thinking process is progressing. I need to find out myself, to dig out my feeling and further evaluate if this is mean falling in love or just another emotion trap that I plan for myself to step in.

Outing...Relationship...Get Hook-Up....

We plan to hang around at Coffee Bean; somehow, we ended up in leisure mall, a café around Taman Segar. It’s a newly set-up café with just a small number of people over there. We order a jug of beer. In fact, I can’t really finish it. I think Beer has just left my life, being replaced with strong liquor though. Cat and Logas are chatting, and we start to talk about our ex- girlfriend, and what would be our perception toward relationship.

I have always considered relationship as a two ways communication and sacrifice. I am a person with quite a character. Cat asked me how I can fall in love. Personally, I will not engage myself in aggressive courting that would prove other about “Love is blind”. Meanwhile, I will only engage in the process of pursuing if I found myself having fondness for her, at the same time, she likes me too.

I certainly will not go ahead with it if the fondness only comes from one side, either she or me. That’s my perception, I do like to believe that a tough move will impress the opposite sex, even though; they do not have the fondness initially. But, I prefer to believe that a relationship would kick start only when fondness is ignited between couples, naturally.

Relationship is supposed to be aesthetic, not materialistic. If that you have to impress some one to light to fondness in her or him, that won’t be a long term relationship, and the possibility that you being carried away by the emotion of the moment is high! Eventually, the balance of love will not exist; you tend to realize, you love her more than she love you or either way!

Come back to our hangout in the café, there’s a PR lady accompanies us. When we took off, she was waiting at the door for so long, looking at me. I show a sign of asking for her number, I assume that she won’t give me, because PR was not allow to give out their personal number. However, I ask a favor from Logas to collect the number, since i am reversing my car.

Reluctantly, Logas went down the car. I thought he going to get a rejection though, who know he came back with a number. Yes, he got it. We got the first call from ‘May’, in my car asking me to drive slowly. Ok, that’s pretty weird though. After the day, she called me a few times, but I wasn’t able to communicate properly with her. She can only understand Cantonese, and I can’t really converse well in Cantonese.

Not there anymore...

After my decision to join another company, my heart is simply not here anymore. I need to go somewhere, whereby, I can bring significant change to company, and hit my career aspiration. I am more like a problem-solver to many companies, and leave good pace in ach of the company I joined before, even this one. I desperately need to plan and leave my pace in this new company. I can’t tell how long I am going to stay there, but certainly, with my existence, a significant change is necessary.

THAI CluB..L#G@s.....HAng Over.......

We went to Thai Club today, feeling reluctant to go due to the level of tiredness. However, since I have promised earlier, it will not be nice to stood Logas up. I brought myself with not so enjoyable feeling into Thai Club.

The ambience is a bit different though, I can’t see anyone dancing around us. Furthermore, there’re only 5 of us, promising 15 people at the end of the day.

Somehow, one by one coming in to join us, and we have around 10 people with us, the funny thing is, we ordered 2 bottle of Vodka, and our friend Logas finished almost half or a bottle of it.
He cheers with almost every table around us, and made a lot of friends. He almost hooks up with a chick though.

At the end of the day, he can’t even walk straight back, and know what, I have to lead him back, and he puke a few times, the last time he puke, I manage to snap a picture of him. Something happen at that night though…tu…tu…tu…tu… censored!

Fortune-TeLLER...Believe it OR nOt...

A 78 years old man told me that I am a smart guy who owns a bright future. He convincingly spill out his word that I would be very rich in future. He even guarantee his word, saying that I will thank him after 10 years time, but he may not be around already, perhaps, what I can do is to visit him at his yard, and said he never goes wrong.

I have never believed in fortune-teller but myself. Scene start to flash through my mind, from the past few years, many fortune-tellers that I came across by luck, has said the same thing to me, but, rich is a subjective topic. How rich can a person be then? I still remember one of them categorized me as a dragon or phoenix, being kept in the cave that is waiting for the right moment, to fly out and fly high. He asked me to bear with it for a few years, and times will come. But who would know what will happen in a few years down the road?

Who AM i ar...

Talking about who I am again has led me to a serious ponder. I still remember how innocent and immature I am last time. I was being a passive person, transforming myself into a mature, with a standard and professional gentleman. I have always reminded myself to improve every year; perhaps, this is the kind of mindset that brings me direction in life, at the same time, it results a lost in me.

I still remember I was compliment on my maturity in thinking. A friend of mine describes me as a 24 years old chap with 30 years old thought! That troubles me a lot, because I don’t realize the transformation has taken place, and generate such a major impact on my personality and behavior.

I start to wonder, who I am now, and who I am a few years back, and who I will be a few year down the road. I still remember, I read a lot of psychology book, practicing change in my own life. I still remember I read the back ground and history of our great leaders, and learn how they behave and see things. I adopt the best of each leader, making me a person with multi-facet, who is able to excel, mix within any circle of friends.

I was advised to adopt a more advance thinking in every facet of my life. When I read a book, I was force to ask the question of “How it happens and how they did it”, but now, it has become a norm for me to ask the question instead of being force. I treat the forcing period as my learning process, and it is over.

Many of us actually ask the question of “what happen” when reading the story. To be able to think advance, and better than any other, we need to ask “How it happens”. If a leader successfully implemented certain measure, then, we need to know what kind of behavior he adopts to push for happening.

I still remember I read the story of “Lee Ka Sing” from Hong Kong, the story tells how he becomes rich, but, I was so obsess with the way he see thing and behave. He has his principle of treating his staff. And he has his principles of what can not do and can do! He mentions that one factor that contributes to his success is to treat everyone with sincerity & honesty, and that has become part of me now……

chatting with C...

I have a chat with someone I like today, and touching on family topic. She told me she is not a career-lady; she is more into family-oriented lady. I start to believe when the old one keep saying, the ultimate dream of a lady is to have a happy family, with care-loving husband and a few fun-loving children. Who does not wish to enjoy that dream though?

For a man, also wishes to see someone he loves every morning, with a passionate morning kiss to start the day, or perhaps, a simple breakfast to fill the stomach, and to be able to see their children running up and down, calling him ‘daddy’. Perhaps, that’s the simplest life that a man and woman can expect.

I still remember my parent always advise me with their experience. They assume the world is filled with materialistic that involves physical transaction in our daily life, that money is inevitably, something you can not live without. A family can only be happy to live without worry of money.

They asked, how you can be happy, if you are stuck with loan, and that you are barely enough to support the family. Judging from my parent experience, even though, both of them working toward supporting the family and brought us up. They barely enjoy the luxurious of life, even the sibling are being kept away from luxurious. That gives me an aspiration to strive harder for a better life, to bring myself and my family up the considerable level of income group, and be in the elite society.

My personal believe in a family, is to be able to give my wife everything she wishes to, and to provide my parents everything they needs. Meanwhile, to be able to support my children study, further nurture them to become a better person in future. In order to do that, I must be able to have a strong financial base that can provide my parent, my wife, my children and me, a freedom of choice. I must be able to choose what I want without worrying about money.

Company doesn't wana let go........so........Pit lar...

As I accepted the offer from Atis Corporation, here comes another problem. My current company does not want to grant me an early release. As stated in confirmation letter, which clearly spilled out that, I have to serve two months notice, but my new company urgently needs my service. Thus, I wrote an appeal letter to my immediate superior for an early release at which he has approved it reluctantly.

I thought it was the end of the story, but it wasn’t. Somehow, my vice President can overrule the approval. I approach another Vice President who happens to be my previous reporting superior before the change of reporting line took place, and he approved my appeal.

However, also do not forget the fact that I have change reporting line; thus, have to at least, inform my current Vice President. I thought I can escape her queries but not, I approached her in her office, with assumption that it’s going to be a tough persuasion. Eventually, the discussion don’t even last more than five minutes, and I was asked to write down my responsibilities and hand-over procedures, then she will look at it and decide. She said it shouldn’t be any problem and need to look at it first. Let’s hope I can start a new career then…

Sri Hartamas...Part 02...

We have a good chat, and that we want to further discuss. We continue our night in Uncle Don, a restaurant in Sri Hartamas. Then we start to obsess with photo taking. We took a lot of picture tonight, as to keep it as a memory to ourselves. I must say, it is a long night to go, we chat from a serious topic in life, to a frivolous chatting, creating a lot of laughter.

I feel so reluctant to go back, probably; I also believe that happy moment does not last long in life, and that I want to extend it longer. We went for pool in Pandan Indah and hang around till 4pm. Even though, each of us, filled with tiredness which reflect on our expression, but we still enjoy the moment together.

Mont Kiara..Part 01...

What can be better than hanging out with friends, and discuss about our future and experience in life and career. That is what I did tonight, with Logas, Sim, and Catherine & Kitty, in Mont Kiara Coffee Bean. Many valuable & precious experience are being discussed, which has led to a good learning in the process.

Logas was quite surprise that I am such a serious person when touching on topic in life. He thought I was just another clubber in his list of friend, but eventually I am not. It reminds me about my direction in life again, and the sacrifice that I have made during the transformation process that involves friendship, love and family.

We are talking about how to excel in career, and the type of mindset that we need to adopt. Again, I advise them to adopt a more advance mindset, which advances in such a way that exceeds people expectation. And this can only happen if you adopt another mindset that could remind you to adopt an “advance mindset”. Nothing can be more controversy than this.

Human thought is complex in such a way that you must not stop your brain from function ing effectively. I still remember when I took my economic paper in college, taught me about the economy cycle. It spurs my thought as much as I do. The occurrence of one activity can ultimately leads to the occurrence of another activity. It’s just like our thinking, sometimes, when you made a decision, or selecting your future route, you just have to think of it as a cycle of life, which involves backward and forward thinking in the process. That could eventually spurs your mind, thus, giving you the maturity level in handling your life and career, better and more effective.

Accepted the Offer...

I have accepted the offer from a listed company, Atis Corporation Sdn Bhd, and with much doubt, turning down another good prospect which offers me a higher salary and opportunity for oversea posting.

I do not know if I make the right choice, but certainly, a lot of contemplation has been through lately. No one would know if a choice is right or wrong, unless you really step you foot into the journey.

Sometimes, that is the risk you have to take. Before that, I was so worry about getting into another new job, surviving in a new environment, meeting with new people and new objective to be set. I have received advices and recommendations from many parties, and at last, decision has been made.

I always try not to be carried away by the moment, neither emotionally affected in making a decision about my future route, nor being affected by other factors in life. It really involves a lot of thinking, and evaluation. And, I start to wonder, why we; human-being was given a brain that involves such a complex exploring.

I have been known as a risk-taker, because of my believing that nothing is impossible. But, at the same time, being affected my past underlying personality and behavior who happen to be a risk-averse. I must believe myself, have been transformed into another person, and that changes my personality and behavior. At last, I am still in the transition period, as I hardly believe in it that I am still who I am.

EduLand...

I went to Edu Land Kindergarten today, meeting up with the training and development manager- Vivian. It is a new kindergarten being acquired under Atis Corporation, a public listed company. I went for the first interview with William, who happened to be the CEO of Atis. After a short discussion with him, I found him very nice, kind and he don’t look at his age, because he is already in his fifties and only looked like 40 years old. We have a good chat. He explained to me the career advancement that I can expect working under him. He convinced me that I am able to learn more than any other place by working with Atis. I start to confuse my decision with another company then…

Pain..Pain..Pain...

I started to hate my body. I wake up in the morning, experiencing muscle pain on my neck, worse still, I was suffering from Gastric! My Gastric problem is getting worse as I would say, I have cut down my drinking but due to my busy lifestyle perhaps, my gastric condition has never improve.

I rest for the whole day thinking about last night, it sounds so funny & weird, and that I still can’t believe it.

Dragon Bar......Don't Like it...

After hanging around at Mont Kiara coffee bean, we decide to visit Dragon Bar in Sri Hartamas. I took the offer since I have never been to Dragon Bar before. To my surprise, I find Dragon Bar a considerable venue to hang out, with good music, however, the ambience is different, giving me weird experience.

Perhaps, it was more equipped for teenagers than adult clubber. We had fun, and Kitty Catherine seems to enjoy herself. Logas was sitting alone, excusing himself due to his attire. But, when the music hit the summit, he gets himself involve on the dance floor, dancing like no body business! Meanwhile, in the process, there’s some censored stuff…tu..tu..tu.. That I certainly do not want to spill out here! *relieve*

MBA..Married but Available...

MBA Part 2 finally started, reluctantly, I attended the induction day, bearing with all the boring speech and briefing. I can’t wait to finish my MBA, so that I can join DBA now. I wonder how fast I can go to end my study life. Perhaps, it will be another two or three year’s time? I also wonder if I can keep on sacrificing my own time and interest for my study for another few years to come!

Pressure + Stress = Crazy...

I have been through a lot of pressure lately, but, forcing another smiles in my life. It is very important that we bring laughter to people than sadness. I was trouble with my work, leaving me no where to go. Meanwhile, MBA examination is around the corner, and simultaneously, MBA part two is starting, with lot of preparation to be made. Furthermore, my promise to my new company to prepare a new branding proposal, has led me into the mud. Sometime, promises should not be made upon emotional need. You will tend to hit the wall. Now, I have learned my lesson.

Chap Goh Meh wor...

I had a nightmare last night! Or did I? Nope, it was not a nightmare; it was the noise of firecrackers that woke me up. After watching the “Condor Heroes” in Astro last night, I gave up the intention of doing my revision, and fell sleep. No long after that, a loud noise and some commotion woke me up, I looked at my watch and it showed 10.30pm. Only then I realize that it was the firecrackers, and today is Chap Goh Meh though! Naturally, I fell into my dreamland again, who knows, again, I woke up at 12pm, and that was the summit of the night, you can expect even worse. Anyway, it was terrible…even though, I am a Chinese but I never celebrate Chap Goh Meh before! Perhaps, everyday is New Year for me? Chap Goh Meh marks the ending of one New Year, also marks the long journey ahead before next New Year…

Picture & my Heart...

I watched a movie, when a female actor is giving the male actor some pictures of the past. The Male actor rejected it and said, “I don’t need that because she is always here in my heart.”……

Housing Loan.....

My parents finally put me under responsibility for my family housing loan. It becomes another burden for me now, and that I need another proper planning for my future and a stable financial condition. In fact, I was so reluctant to do that, but to convince my parent that I will provide them the best when I achieve my dream. All they need to do is to bear with the situation for another few years to come. What I can say about this though. I am the only one in my family who are highly educated, with the aspiration in life. My parent can only rely on me, that’s what they always say, giving me pressure.

Bad DAy......Bad Day....

I had a bad day today! A bad day that was almost spoiled my mood. I was asked to shift 40 cartons of Mineral Water to an orphanage in Peejay, using my company van. Apparently, the company van wasn’t register for business purpose, and what’s worse was, 40 cartons were too much for a small van, forcibly, the van still able to accommodate all 40 cartons.

Personally, I asked for 2 vans to shift the 40 carton of water. Since the other van was available. My maintenance manager helped to move all the water out from store room, but when I asked for another driver to drive the second van, he insisted that no one is free for the moment, and it was alright to put all 40 cartons into one van.

I also realized that it was against the JPJ law, at which the van will be over weighed! My maintenance manager convinced me that it is okay and helped me to shift the rest of the water into the van. Reluctantly, I drove away.

I haven’t even been a km away from my company, and I get caught with JPJ. Well, needless to say, a booking ticket ahead of me. It costs me RM 50 for persuasion, and you know what I mean though! Falling into this situation, either way is inaccessible, and I made my choice…

Gallls........Like.....WHat I like...

I was puzzled, confused, and suddenly feeling lost when I was being asked for the type of girl that I like. I started to ponder, what type of girl would really attract me. But I can’t seem to dig it out from myself.

I still remember many years ago, I seem to like those girls who are smart and presentable, and gradually, I prefer girl who are able to communicate well and understanding, eventually, I prefer girl who are highly educated and gorgeous. Apparently, Pretty doesn’t mean gorgeous, and gorgeous doesn’t equal to pretty.

I would prefer someone who is grace with personality of a princess rather than just pretty. Ironically, you will be able to come across this type of lady, but, mostly born with silver spoon that have been too much indulgence with little family value. I hate lady who can’t even survive with her own hand, so does man!

Some people told me, money speaks everything! As long as you are highly educated, rich and living at the high class society, you will be able to command perfection, even in relationship. You will be able to find what you like. Personally, I do not believe in it, even so, love may not be aesthetic anymore. It would become materialistic. Sometimes, relationship grows when both parties instill feeling on each others, they feel for each other, and willing to sacrifice for each other. Once again, I can’t be sure what type of personality I am actually looking for, and what do I like!!!

Gastric problem....killing me...

I woke up quite late today, and having gastric problem again. I had my lunch and vomit everything. Anyhow, I try to take something light to ease my stomach. It has been quite some time that I have gastric. I can’t remember how I was inflicted to gastric but it wasn’t please though. I got a message from another member of mine who we hang out together last night, she was having gastric as well, but I believe I was the worse. Meanwhile, I was thinking of going out for some light drink, thus, I message another friends of mine but she wasn’t reply, and I believe she’s still in dreamland and drunk. It was really fun to be able to hang out with friends; I like the feeling of forgetting every responsibility and problem in my life in the club, with the music and alcohol pumping to your blood. Sometimes, human being just needs to have some excitement in life; it would really stimulate you mentally and emotionally. Don’t you think so……?

Rush ...the First Time..

Today, my first time to club in Rush in Eastin Hotel. The place is cool, filled with ton of teenager. I am quite doubt with a place with so many teenager, and with cases of fight happened before. I presume it was a place for teenager to take pill and hit the song. I asked my colleague, and they said it is safe, and a clean place. Reluctantly, I laid down my suspicion.

We had fun, and took a lot of pictures to commemorate the hours. I was drunk half way through and stop drinking. Eventually become sober again after a while. When I looked through the pictures on that night, it surprised me that I was blush due to intoxication!

Life is CHallenginG...

I will be damned busy for the week to come. And I am starting to find myself losing grip of my daily routine. I wonder why I have to take on the challenge in every mean of my life. Especially my MBA study, I have to take two subjects this semester with one subject as self-study mode, and believe me, it is killing me. Now that I can join second year for the first semester but it clashes with my first year final semester. I have to start my class before I am able to finish my final exam. Everything seems to be challenging my persistence and patient.

Village...

I just realize that small village tends to have a strong bond with each other, with neighbor and residents who stays within the compound. They tend to care about each other, at which you will not find this in big city or hardly find this among Chinese community.

I must say, the progressive development in the country has brought much impact to our personal value. People tend to be more selfish and greedy, materialistic has become an essential surviving character in big city, if you are not strong enough mentally and ethically, you might be carried away by the moment that would lead to change in your personal value and perception.

But I was surprised to find the bond is still strong among us, relatives and, in our village. People still help each other even though my grandparent had passed-away many years ago.

Animal or TREE...

I attended my HRM MBA class on Saturday, and our lecturer Miss Choo, who used to work as the senior management in HSBC bank in Malaysia. “I like to ask personality question when in an interview, I tend to ask the interviewee to write a short essay of what they prefer to be, if they were given ‘a tree or an animal’, and you will find the answer vary according to individual”, Choo said.

Choo related her experience to us, she interviewed a lady at her twenties, and the similar question was asked. The lady preferred to be an animal and the reason was that she want to go around and pee at those tree instead of standing all alone at one place, in her essay, she said she want to be the top of all, controlling the entire tree, and not being controlled. To her surprise, the lady made it to the top management within two years time, with a proven sales record. She made cold call, pitch sales and many more.

If you are given a choice, would you like to be a tree or animal? Again, there is no right or wrong answer. If you prefer to be a tree, you may be suitable for job that is less challenging, meanwhile, if you choose an animal, and then an office job may not match your personality. Personally, I prefer to be animal, if it is a tricky question, I prefer to be HUMAN……

What IS REligion today?

I have a conversation with my relative in her fifties. She is a Buddhist, and commented on Karma. She said those who sell liquor will suffer bad Karma because they sell “drunk” to people, and sometimes people got into accident and die.

I was born in a multi-religion environment, undergone my secondary school in S.M.K.Seberang Perak and was transferred to St.Michael for form 4 and form 5, I was exposed to Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, Muslim, Catholic and many more.

I also have friends from various religion backgrounds, and I was being persuaded to convert or to embrace certain religion, but personally, I prefer to be rational, and free-thinker.

Religion is formulated to control human being because we are vulnerable and easily been carried away by the moment, and only then, religion can bring us back to the right track, lighting our path.

Every religion teaches us something good, but if we believe too much that we can not ponder rationally would generally lead us to superstition.

If Liquor trader received bad Karma, then we should also condemn car maker as well because they lead to the increasing number of car accidents in Malaysia by selling car to Human Being! Or you should also condemn Kwok Foundation for producing sugar because it would leads to diabetes.

Another funny conversation with a relative of mine, explaining the benefit of becoming a monk, saying that it provides spiritual health. I wonder what would happen if everyone of us become a monk or nun!

Another funny escapade, I bang into a lady trying to talk me into adopting Christianity. I wouldn’t furious if she did not make her comment on other religion. She describes other religions as devil because it would lead them to disbelieve Jesus. She asked me to believe in god only.

I beg to all god, please correct the mistake made by Human being. What had happen to our world, even religion start to become commercialized!? I pray in front of Jesus when I am in Church, I pray to every god in every temple in my visit, because I believe in their existence, and I certainly believe they teaches people good and only help those who practice human kindness.

I will not blankly believe in a god, but they shall command my respect because they help human being psychologically and spiritually. What ever we do, as long as we do not jeopardize others in the process, we shall be in blessing.

Death....

Today is certainly not a lucky day perhaps. We were being informed about our God Grand Father’s death. He is a septuagenarian who has been suffered from heart disease, and unfortunately Doctor wasn’t able to carry out the operation due to his fragile health.

We expected this very long-ago, and trying hard to give him the good last-memory in life, and we believed everything has been done. Sometimes we thought we have a short life with so little time spared for our dream, and worse still, if we have not seen what we want to see.

I would rather appreciate every moment that I can live through my life, and rather chasing after my dream, to avoid disappointment later in my life even though I know, I may not got what I want, but at least, I try my best.

New Blazer...

I always wanted to make a blazer for myself, and trousers for New Year, but I only manage to meet up with my personal tailor today, and it will be ready only after New Year.

However, I was always believed in my own tailor and even the pricing is reasonable, I still remember I made an enquiring in Sungai Wang, for the pricing and material used. They told me it would cost me RM 500 for only the Top without trouser, meanwhile, the patent that I was looking for, would cost me RM 750. I was furious because there was no room for negotiation.

Surprisingly, over here, it cost me only RM 320 inclusive of trouser, and I made another two extra trousers which cost me only RM 65 each, it was cheaper than Kuala Lumpur which cost me RM 80 each. As you can see, RM 750 and RM 320 made a lot of different. You can make two here!

Same Old QUEStion....

I celebrated the same New Year every year, expecting the same question again and again. I can even forecast what is coming in the next two days in New Year, with an accurate and clear outcome, even easier than hitting a jackpot. Probably, I have been celebrating this New Year for 23 and half years! I am hungered for something different every year, but nothing much different though! At least, allow me to have some surprises, such as hitting “jackpot”! Then I shall remember this year!

Meanwhile, one particular question that the-CG- “Conservative Group” keep asking me!

This is how the conversation goes each time I start to have a little chat with the “Old Group”.

“Ah Yew ah! So tall already ar!” (translate from my grandma, grandpas’ dialect)

“Got girlfriends already or not?” (This is annoying, try to imagine I was asked at least 6 times a day! I can even tell you who will ask this question!)

My typical answer would be, “Nope, No time for girlfriend, I have to study and working at the same time, really have no time for this relationship thingy”

Once they know I have no girlfriend, they will start to talk around, in front of my parents and other relatives, “Why don’t want to find a girlfriend, you are not young already, your parent hunger for Grandson already!” (Basically, my parent never even thinks about it, they just like to make it up! I would just smile at this junction.)

Then they will start to do extra little thingy which we call “PAT”, what they would usually say is,
“Our relatives, XXdadadidadadi, his daughter is same age as yours, and still single, pretty and highly educated, I introduce you want or not!”


Arrgghhhhh……..

Gosh, that is what I expected as usual, I will usually pretend to drop the line and “ciow”.

In Kampung...

I am writing this in my grandpa’s house in Bukit Tambun, together with all the kids around me, making up a lot of noise, plus all the firecracker, firing in front of me. I must say, the New Year ambience is perfect.

But I can not believe my “baby laptop” had attracted much attention, children age from 8 to 15, with at least 10 of them started to throng around me, looking perplex. I was discombobulated by the squeeze-up, making me almost breathless.

I wondered how vulnerable and ignorant they are. They do not even realize that this little computer is called “laptop” or “notebook”. I don’t mind if a 5 years old kid asked me that, but a form 3 students asking me what is that little thing that look like a computer, is really hurt! Government spent million of dollars in education, and that’s why our Vice P.M had commented a few days back, that our investment does not produce the expected outcome.

KAmpung Valdor...

Have you ever heard about “Kampung Valdor”? That is where my grandparent stays, and most of my relatives are from Kampung Valdor. I read a little about the history of this village, and found out that it used to be one of the “black areas” as described by the British colonist. They cordoned off the areas to avoid the attack of communist. And later, it becomes a village. Most of the residents are Chinese, and even the Indian can speak good Chinese dialect, it is unbelievable.

1st Day of CNY...

Do you know what did I do for the first day of Chinese New Year? You must have wonder. I am so much indulged in doing my assignment! So ironic that I have nothing to do, but sat around in front of my computer, typing and thinking about my assignment. At least, I have little something to tell other when being asked about it. At least, It can serve me a good memory that I was busy doing my assignment on the first day of New Year! Cheers…

In Alor Setar...

I met up with Catherine, Phang, Yeow, Yong and Kooi. Catherine is currently working in SS 15 Subang as a programmer, Phang is working in Yu Nam Hair Center, but she had just resigned. Meanwhile Yeow and Yong study in TARC and USM respectively. Lastly, Kooi is working as a Mechanical Technician in Penang.

We chatted and reminisced our old time in secondary school, and wondered how stupid we look like. We started to talk about others who did not show up tonight. One by one, we counted and discussed, only found that some of them had already engaged, and some other posted overseas in Vietnam or Philippine. It will be quite hard to meet them up again, unless fate says so.

This brought me some thought about friendship, as long as our bonds are strong; distance doesn’t really matter at all. It is the memory that counts, nothing can be more valuable than a memory that allows you to experience the past again and again, without losing, and it belong to you forever; certainly, it must be something sweet and nice, not those nightmare childhood!

I hope every one of us enjoy our holiday and indulge in enjoyable recollection of past event, your memory!

In Penang...

I went down to Penang the day after I arrived in Kedah. I treat Penang as my second hometown due to my frequentation. I can’t say I like Penang that much, but there are some little memories I shall preserve for my own self.

I visited my friends who share the similar interest, and dream, someone who have a direction in life and know what they want to achieve. We wondered around and finally decided to stop by a restaurant around University Science Malaysia.

We chatted, and this friend of mine started to wonder, “Why our topics of discussion are so much different from my University pals. Once we went out, we usually talk about our careers and what do we plan to do in the near future. But when I was in University, I was quite pathetic to find out that University students around me are quite naïve and all they talk about are “Chick”, or better off, “where do loiter around, either in Mamak Stall or Some where at the beach side”.

Then I told him, jokingly, “Well, only those who are highly educated, with ability to think ahead, can talk like us, they are probably still in kindergarten unquestionably they are in University!”

Don fail to PLAN...

Leading a hectic life sometime pay off if you have a proper plan, with a direction in your life. Sometimes, you tend to work for people and never realize that you hit the edge of retirement, and still achieving nothing.

I have my five years plan ahead of me every New Year. And this time around, I came back with another five year plan of mine to discuss with my friends. I always think through every end of the year, as to what I’ve achieved so far during my journey, and plan another one year ahead of the remaining four years plan. Every successful personality has a direction and they plan ahead, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail!

Toll...

I was driving back to my hometown and passed through Ipoh toll, but the counter was closed (apparently when I passed by), so I didn’t manage to take the transit ticket. I thought it was free then, until I stopped by Sunagi Perak to re-fuel my car.

Out of curiosity I asked an old man in the station, if it is free (I would really like to thank PLUS for his generosity!). To my surprise, the answer wasn’t what I expected, “Where got? You need to take the transit ticket!” he said.

“I don’t know, the counter was closed, and there is no barricade, so I just drove through, following the lorry in front of me!” I explained.

“They will fine you for the lost of ticket, I would suggest you to exit at Kuala Kangsar because it is nearer, and the fine will be lesser”, he said.

Without further a do, I sped up and exited at the Kuala Kangsar. I told the counter stand-over everything that I knew of, and she was puzzled and asked, “Why didn’t they give you the ticket, you can not drive through, how can you do that?” Basically, I remembered she repeated “How can you do that, and why they didn’t give you” for four times!

Come on you are not here to interrogate me alright, just tell me what to do and get the hell over it! It was already one o’clock in the morning! Quickly, I stopped her for asking me further, and asked if anything I can do now.

She pondered for a while, and asked for my plate number, then said, “RM 3.50, please.”

GOtong-ROYOng...

What a “Gotong-Royong” that taught primary students about Open-Burning! Yes, I was jogging as usual at the lakeside, and the Primary school was located besides the lake. To my surprise, they had a small Gotong-Royong Campaign in school, led by two teachers, a young gentleman and a lady.

I felt gladden to see how active and energetic those primary students are. They collect wood and rubbish from the floor, and threw to a designated area. The other group was cleaning the drain, sweating like a pig.

After all, I thought they will pile it up and pack it with plastic before they dump it. However, they didn’t! The two teachers (so-called teachers) started to light the wood and rubbish with gasoline, despite the fact that there were ton of people walking, jogging and playing at the lakeside. We were basically inhaling all the emission and carbon dioxide! What can we say about them! All of us looking and feeling puzzle to each other at the lakeside, while staring at them!

CIVICism....

What can I say about Human Behavior and Human thought! It is sad to see that they simply allowing their pet to defecate at the lakeside. As usual, I engaged in my daily jogging, to allow my body to have some sweat, but I was pestered by the smell of feces at the lakeside. To my surprise, that pet owner brought their pet to the lake, and allowed their pet to dig and “shit”. I wonder where is our civicism?
