Another night where I'm inspired to write this piece of mind down....I was reading this manga shaman king where there was a part called osorezan revoir. To keep things short and simple, its a story of how asakura yoh first met anna...it really warmed my heart reading it. Love is sweet, be it at first sight or otherwise. Love is heartwarming, be it it is winter night. Love is unwavering, be it when you are 1 or 80. Love is a strong resolve, where you draw courage to protect your loved ones, even giving up your own life. Love is...you.
This is the piece that warmed me...
The person who is waiting for you surely
Won't let you have any lonely feelings.
At least.
At least.
The person who you are meeting surely
won't let you have any lonely feelings.
At least.
At least.
Miserable and abandoned on the road.
Half way through the trip lost all will
And hope.
Love is the meeting.
The seperation.
It's a transparent piece of cloth.
Osorezan re voir.

A drastic change in my attitude
I've noticed myself that I get irritated rather easily nowadays. I'll be boiling if I sense myself being used, manipulated, poked fun at. These are the things that wont happen a few months ago. What changed me? I guess the surrounding plays a part, the people around me as well...I tend to show my displeasure and irk at things more often than I liked to. Anger that I can suppress in the past is being allowed to flow freely. I wont mince my words anymore, saying anything straight out without thinking anymore whereas I used to say things nicely previously. People said I am trying to be mean just to show that I am not a softie...yes I am, but not trying, because I dont even have to raise a sweat just to be mean. Foul words that I shunned previously are coming out almost every sentence...why I am so foul mouthed? I am always so, just that you guys dont know me well enough to notice that. Still think I am your typical softie and a nice guy to bully? YOU BETTER THINK TWICE!
Why God granted us this negative feelings of anger when HE knows its detrimental to health? Anger motivates you when used in a proper way, it destroys you when you are consumed by it...
To those I have irked in recent times, I am not apologetic! You probably deserved it somewhere or another for irking me in the past...ITS PAYBACK TIME!
From good guy gone bad

If you think like that, you are an idiot!
Today
before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.
(If I can't speak, how can I say a bad word)
Before
you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
(If I got nothing to eat, how I know its bad?)
Before
you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
(You still will complain no matter what, never seen a couple who never complain about each other)
Today
before you complain about life - Think of someone who died too early on this earth.
(Dead already, what else to complain!)
Before
you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
(Your children will learn to complain too in the future)
Before
you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.
(Is it an excuse not to clean the house?)
Before
whining about the distance you drive - Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
(The problem is I am having a car)
And when
you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
(The same as above, I already have the job)
But
before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.
(There are still a lot of self perceived holier than thou people)
And when
depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around
(Yup, alive to be depressed again later)
yeah right...its human nature dumbasses, when you have something you want more. We will only crave for things we dont have...wake up fools!

Change has come
2 points that caught my attention...
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer."
"This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing - Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the colour of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes, we can.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes, we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes, we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbour and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes, we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "we shall overcome". Yes, we can.
A man touched down on the Moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes, we can."
Obama inspires me...politics might be dirty but we must believe we can change to be better. YES WE CAN!

Quickie about everything
The events of the past few weeks...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manchester United trashed Stoke 5-0(cheers!!), Arsenal lost tamely to Aston Villa 0-2(Hooray! Bye gooners), Hamilton won F1 driver's championship(I'm for Raikonnen, but fair play to Hamilton), Obama became the 1st Black President of USA(3 cheers for Obama...the triumph of the minority!)
As an avid Manchester United fan, nothing's more satisfied to see your biggest rivals crash and in the unlikely scenario of being relegated to a lower division. The so called advocates of beautiful football, Arsenal a.k.a. the gooners are indeed pleasing to the eyes but painful for their supporters. The team can play so beautifully and yet lose the match. As to Hamilton, he won it under ultimately Ferrari-biased situation...yeah he deserved it.
And what's more inspiring to see a new face as the most powerful man in the world. Obama, regardless of what many still think about him, is hugely popular outside the US. If the world were to join in the voting process, Mccain might get a serious trashing with 70% opting for the rookie. It could be said that Bush's unpopularity made Obama's day. I am sincerely hoping for the day the same can be achieved in Malaysia where the candidate is chosen regardless of race.
Can Manchester United be King of Europe again? Yes we can!
Can Malaysia win the world cup? No they can't in this millenium.
Can we believe in Obama's ideas for change? Yes we can!

Me...12 years ago
12 years ago, I am...
timid,
nerdy, (ppl think I still am now)
skinny,
innocent, (nobody will believe if I say I was)
not bespectacled, (my eyesight were pretty good then)
punctual
weak in sports,
quite diligent,
quite obediant,
rather shy,
a nobody in class.
Human being changes but not many as drastic as me,
Today, I am...
not punctual at all
outgoing
willing to use all means to get things done
eloquent in all sorts of crap
still innocent...yes, you expect another response from me?

Memoirs of the dimpled smile...
3:54 am, the time where most normal people would have been asleep...what am I doing then? In this moment of silence where I can only hear the clock ticking and the sound of my own heartbeat. I had time to reflect on my day. What had I done today? To be honest nothing productive...
My memories of the past, the moments of joy and anguish came back to me like a tornado...BANG, I suddenly found myself thinking back of my primary school years...the first girl I set my eyes on is surprisingly nothing romantic to rave about, she was sitting next to me in class...well teachers like to mix us around. She was such an angel then, porcelain skin unblemished with pimples(we are still young then), a dimple when she smiled. I would fall for her instantly if I knew what love is at that tender age. Nobody is perfect but at that time I think she is quite close. A very good friend indeed, she stood up for me when I am teased...she was unfazed when people start addressing her as my girl friend...being true to the timid type, I tried to avoid controversy by avoiding her. How I regret it, after primary six...she is lost...dissappeared totally from my sight...10 years down the road, I was wondering how is she doing now...the angel of my childhood.
The only memory left was the scant image of her dimpled smile...

The junior's poem
One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake a dream.
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship,
One hand clasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One world can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.
I dedicate my own poorly made verse for the juniors
One meal can feed the starved,
One treat for the seniors will endear you to us!
so do remember to treat your seniors a nice meal you know...

The One
I have one
You have one
Your mother uses your father's one
And your auntie uses your uncle's one
A married lady would acquire one
But a divorced lady would lose her one
Arnold Schwarzenneger has a longer one
Michael J. Fox has a shorter one
Madonna doesn't have one
The Chinese usually have short ones
While the Indian usually have long ones
Do you have one?
How long is your one?
Which one is your preferred one?
what you are thinking of?
Answer : its your Surname, what else? !!!!!
but I like the way you think .........

Choonrox Theory
In Dota: "I will not save you and you don't have to save me"
In real life: "I don't help people and I don't expect to be helped" or "I will not entertain favours and I will not ask for any either"
The above statement is harsh but its a rule to follow when you want to be selfish. Be selfish to the max and do not hope for anything in return. When you want to be an asshole, do not go back on your ways as people will call it pure hipocracy...

Sarawak - The Land of Hornbills
Its rather "unfortunate" that I have to post this up as this might wind up the sarawakians especially that perasan punya budak - Jon. My "sincere" apologies beforehand.
A few friends of mine got so excited with the topic Sarawak that they began questioning a few of the unsolved mysteries over Sarawak. Here are the points raised:
1. Do some sarawakians still live on trees or caves?(gurmukh)
2. Is there a clear border between Sarawak and Kalimantan because the jungle is so vast?(gurmukh)
3. If there are cars in Sarawak, which side the drivers drive in, left or right? (gurmukh)
4. Are the street names named after the trees etc. Pokok 1, Pokok 2, Ulu 3 and so on? (Shu Wen)
5. What is the favourite mode of transport in Sarawak? Tree swinging? (unknown)
Lets hope that someone will enlighten the foolish and naive west malaysians with answers. The Blogger will not be available for comments as he is in for a hiding from this moment onwards. He might not even dare to step foot in Sarawak as well...

Timekeeping
I am infamous for my timekeeping and over the years this bad habit has shown no signs of improving. I had missed busses and trains by seconds and minutes due to my bad timekeeping. Making people wait for me is my "specialty" or rather "enjoyment" on my side. Bad timekeeping had put me under countless sticky situations as trains or busses would not wait for you. The only plus point is that my stamina increased due to countless bus chasing or walking to the campus instead if I failed to pull my bus chasing act off.
To put it bluntly the only cure to it is to be in control of your time. Control time and not let time control you is the phrase here. In controlling time I mean to be so influential and powerful that you call the shots and set the time. Powerful figures have the luxury of setting their own time and the rest have to follow their pace. Nobody will dare to mutter a word when you are late due to your commanding aura. Such arrogance is only afforded to the powerful ones...sigh. Don't get me wrong here, I'm just jealous that those powerful ones can have bad timekeeping and get away with it unscathed.
Since I am no where near being so powerful and influential, the only cure for my timekeeping is the conventional way...be punctual and stop finding excuses for being late!

What can Kangkung do for us?
For a start, Kangkung is rich in iron and fibre(some kids hate it). I hated it growing up but now I love it to bits if fried with belacan.
Cut the crap, this thread is political. Ong Tee Keat and Chua Soi Lek, the dubbed Team Kangkung by the cantonese speakers. You two better work your socks off from now onwards as the margin of error is getting narrow nowadays. Every single mistakes will be scrutinized and the critics will have a field day feeding off your blunders. I place high hopes on this 2 but the verdict is still out...Ei taukeh, I want my dish of kangkung(country)properly cooked and not screwed over.

平衡论 Equilibrium Theory
这世上没有绝对的善良，也没有绝对的邪恶。 最光最亮的太阳都会有黑点，但在最黑暗的角落也会存着一丝曙光。谁善谁邪真的那么重要吗？ 人人心中不但都有一把尺在量度着其他人，而且也很会利用一个很犀利的武器——嘴，来批评他人。 天天都有不经大脑的话脱口而出，也难怪这世上那么多是非。 善与恶，是由你来决定的吗? 在判人罪名前，不如先看看自己到底有没有犯过错。 回到主题，如果这世上只有白没有灰或黑的话，试问谁还能辨别黑与白呢。 假如从来没犯错过，那你怎样知道你做的事是对或错？ 邪恶是一面镜子，好让我们知道自己犯过什么错以免以后重犯。
There will always be a dark spot no matter how bright your life is but in your darkest moment lie bright rays of hope.
Inspiration on this topic drawn from watching some kung fu flick. The blogger is still pondering how this state of equilibrium can be achieved...(maybe he should do some bad stuffs to compensate his good deeds thus far...lol...such is my twisted theory!)

Do you believe what you read?
....from normal newspapers: they are so pro government that they can't find something bad about the government to write.
...from the website malaysiakini.com: this website is so anti government that they can't find something good about the government to write.
I give credit where its due, the present government is flawed and might be on the way out after the next general election but I can still find something good about the government to write. The present government has laid down the foundations of our beloved country and we as normal citizens should be grateful for what we have now. However the normal media is so restricted that they can only portray the government on a positive light i.e. all's fine and rosy.
On the other side, the electronic media in particular malaysiakini(where the so called "truth" can be obtained) is hogging all the limelight because it's controversial editor is jailed. I am not at all convinced at the overzealous approach the website is using to get their information across to readers. The writers on that website usually criticize for the sake of criticizing, giving little or no credit to the government. They are acting as if they are holier than thou, the moral guardians of our society.
So what can we believe in? I follow this simple rule, the truth needs no further explanation whereas a lie will have dozens of explanations justifying it.

Womanizer
Britney Spears's latest number one single>>>Womanizer
My verdict in 5 words : not my cup of tea
...in 4 words : flesh aplenty, music absent
...in 3 words : not worth listening
...in 2 words : lousy song
...in 1 word : SUCKS
She might as well named it Tormentizer, my ears are tormented hearing it.
But hey, the majority(the male population)loves it...the theory that guys are easy to please stands corrected...just a few photoshopped images of Spears looking smoky hot in sauna have made the guys drooling(yes, me included)
Thx Britney, my eyes are pleased but do spare my ears...

Greenhorn vs Old Warhorse
So the battle heats up for the presidential elections...this US presidential elections is significant as the winner is tasked with handling the credit crunch and rebuilding the economy. Who is better equipped for it? Its up to the americans really...but according to trend i.e. democrats for economy and republicans for war(who needs war now!!!) If I'm to choose one, I will pick the greenhorn over the old warhorse who probably only comes in handy in times of war.
Contrary to popular believes that experience counts, a greenhorn will one day become experienced too if given the chance...the new needs chance!! The biggest disadvantage a seasoned politician has is his age. I am not biased towards the older generation but generally the older you become your view become more rigid as well and the elderly are not so acceptable to new ideas. Sorry Mr Mccain, you are a war hero of your country but you need a good rest...give the greenhorn a chance.

家好月圆
我看了无数的连续剧，却从未看过如此扣人心弦的连续剧。家好月圆讲述亲情，赚人热泪实属不为过。但它的特别之处是剧内的家庭纠纷即令人心痛，也令人感动。戏如人生的道理已被此剧发挥的淋漓尽致。在此写上一个服字！但愿人人皆家好月圆。

bye bye malaysia
For a moment I actually felt relieved (not that I have a choice to stay back) to leave this land of chaos to let it heal itself...the key to restore Malaysia back to its former glory is? Always look on the bright side of life! Hey, Malaysia is still a good place to live in...we are truly a blessed nation!
So, farewell malaysia! I hope to return to see everything even better than before. Next stop >>> Germany
Ab jetzt muss ich wieder auf deutsch unterhalten, ahhhh Deustch ist schwer, uninteressant, langweilig und bla bla bla...Deutschland, DEIN "LIEBLINGSAUSLÄNDER" IST ZURÜCK!!! So meine freunde, LOS MIT UNSEREM STUDIUM!!!

寄居
从前，有一群人从老远搬了去一个新的地方。 他们在这个新地方落地生根，把这个地方当成了家，并默默地耕耘，为此地贡献良多。 另外又有一群人，自持是土生土长的道地人，他们多番为难外来的那群人，并没有完全接受外来者。 在当时的时势，得却有点困难。 但在共存了半个世纪后，情况并没有多大改善，甚至有变本加厉的趋势。 笔者不愿为此事在纠缠不止下去，只想大家紧记以下这句话。
“煮豆燃豆萁，豆在釜中泣。本是同根生，相煎何太急？”
在此也想引用jason mraz的一首歌i'm yours里的一段歌词...
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
肤色是上帝给的恩赐不是诅咒， there is only one world and one dream!

England
The England football team or football in general had shown us how fickle minded we are in terms of supporting a certain team. The theory that football fans do live on short term memory is true...at 1 point everyone was saying england is doomed to fail again after their dismal showing in the EURO 2008 qualifiers but HEY after 1 bloody good game against the croats everybody is hailing them as one of the best again. The media certainly played a big part in this whole saga. Critics had their big gobs shut by the stunning result as not many of them believed that england will win this match. But beware, the good old england we know is famous for turning from hero to zero the next match round only for the critics to come out in full force again. Critics afterall only thrive on all this negativity to make a living...what a pathetic bunch I would say...yes I hate critics who only criticise for the sake of it!

Kuantan...a hidden paradise?
The good thing about Kuantan is that it is not a bustling and busy city like KL but rather a medium city with its old town's charm and allure maintained. The food's good, the beach's awesome, the hotel was more than comfortable...man what else do you want? Let's start with the food, let me say that the hawker center in Teluk Sisek is a top recommendation for any food lover. The Bak Kut Teh and fish head noodle are my top picks. Now, the place I stay...Vistana Hotel, located not far away from the above mentioned eating paradise. It did not strike me as a 4 star hotel on first impression but the moment I entered my room, it had exactly everything a tired traveler needs...a comfy bed. The toilet was clean and the air condition is churning out cool refreshing air onto my fatigued body. I've been to better hotels in Kuantan such as the hyatt regency but vistana is not too bad even though it lacked class and splendor. The Teluk Cempedak beach is also a plus point for Kuantan! The clean beaches on the east coast are really like heaven compared to the hell we have in Port Dickson.
PS: contrary to popular beliefs, Kuantan do have escalators!!! Now Taiping had gotta prove me otherwise...

the lesser of 2 evils?
Have you ever faced the situation where you are left with 2 rotten options to solving your problems?
Lets take the US presidential elections as an example of how we should choose the less evil between the 2 candidates. Mr. Obama is over hyped and inexperienced, Mr. Mccain is an extension of the Bush administration. If you are the voter, who would you choose?
My vote would go to Obama for the obvious reason that he will bring no political baggage into his administration should he be elected to the office. Mccain on the other hand will only serve to continue Bush's unpopular policies and bring upon more wrath on the USA in a whole.
On the local front, we have a party which had grown fond of fanning racial sentiments among our multiracial community and another with a not so trustable leader at the helm of the party. The recent events had clearly shown that we disapprove the overzealous fanning of racial sentiments. We are willing to take the risk of supporting a not so reputable man which had his fair share of bad doings in the past. A classic example of choosing the lesser of 2 evils I would say.
On a side note, we should only swear our allegiance to the country but not any party. Happy 51st Merdeka!

far away there lies someone to be missed...
Don't ask me who that person is because I ain't got no idea myself either. But at the bottom of my heart lies a person who I believe I will meet one day...be it tomorrow, next week, next month, next year or maybe 10 years later. At this moment I am missing the above mentioned person. Call me an idiot or dreamer, but the quest will be harder if I don"t begin somewhere. So to that girl far away...I miss you...
PS: ain't all this normal at 22?

23rd august...how it unfolded?
I would say just another peaceful day...the only good news to note is that the weather was kind to me that day and it rained. To top it off, the government announced the fuel reduction on that day...haha, such honour...I'm really chuffed! Its refreshing to note that while I might be older but not necessarily wiser because I am still craving for cakes especially those rich in chocolates. Happy birthday to me...it's that time of my life every year isn't it?
PS: thx for all the wishes...it will be hard to squeeze a tear outta me...hehe, an eyemo will do the trick (trying to show that I'm touched)

sports and politics
To put it bluntly, sports in malaysia had never escaped from the hands of politicians who used it as a tool for their own benefits. The moment lee chong wei returned home, he was quickly trust into the midst of a tug of war between politicians from both sides. Only those uninterested in politics will not know the motive behind his quick conferment of a datukship. Yes I would say he fully deserve his awards despite putting up a tame fight in the finals but the way things had unfolded after his heroics in beijing had taken away the gloss off his silver medal feat. As a mere commoner, I am of course in no condition to comment about how sports should be run, but 1 thing I'm sure will help is please leave politics out of sports!

Its a long passage...but I wanna share it with my friends
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.' I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, 'Those guys are jerks.' They really should get lives.' He looked at me and said, 'Hey thanks!' There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends. He said yes.
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, 'Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!' He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.When we were seniors we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak on Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous!
Today was one of those days.I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, 'Hey, big guy, you'll be great!' He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. ' Thanks,' he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began 'Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends... I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.
I am going to tell you a story.' I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.
He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. 'Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.'
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life.
For better or for worse.
PS: To Shu Wen, Jon, or Nick, maybe a little check on my room once a while?(small gesture, haha)

the feeling of being missed?
How does it feel to know that someone from another corner of the world is thinking of you and missing you? (applies for casual friends as well) Honestly, your heart feels warm...and to a certain extent touched. So to those who were missing someone be it their parents, special person etc etc...there's a song for you here...I'm yours from jason mraz.
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
smashing song I would say!
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

Thursday 7 August 2008
We sing, We dance, We steal things...I'm yours
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my best
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
D-d-do do you, do you, d-d-do, do you want to come?
Scooch on over closer dear, I'll whisper in your ear
Oh yes love, love love love love love
Love you love, love you love
I've been spending way too long tricking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Come on and open up your mind and see like me
(I won't hesitate)
Open up your plans and damn you're free
(No more, no more)
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
(It cannot wait, I'm sure)
So please don't, there's no need
(There's no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate
(Our time is short)
'Cause our time is short
(This is our fate)
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours, I'm sayin' I'm yours
pavilion vs gardens
The moment I stepped into gardens in midvalley and pavilion in bintang walk, I was awestruck by the numbers of high end boutiques lining side by side. The star dusted shops can be described in 2 words...class act! The only thing in common is the jaw dropping price tags. I might be able to afford it but what is the point if I'm gonna starve myself afterwards for the whole month. An average T-shirt is at 70 bucks the cheapest. My fellow friends in Germany...please don't convert! Sigh, at least I can still afford to enjoy my meals there. Besides, class cant be bought with money...from a green eyed monster that is me. If I have the $$$, the sentence will be...with money comes class! Wow, the most hypocritical sentence ever...who needs anwar, when you have me! Now this is what I call signing off with a BANG!!!
Olympics...are they ready?
Barely 2 days before the opening ceremony and it seems Beijing is ready and eager to prove the rest of the world wrong by staging the most expensive ever game we've ever seen. Enter the bird nest stadium, a stadium build with grandeur and every touch signifies the essence of chinese culture. My best wishes to our malaysian athletes...a medal of any colour will go a long way in distracting the malaysian public from the ongoing political turbulence. Our best bet? Maybe Lee Chong Wei, but I'm not pinning my hopes on him...he's an ass when under pressure...my bet would be Josiah Ng from cycling. Now how I wish squash is one of the events!
Finally, my deepest condolences to the family members of the 16 fallen police officers in Xinjiang...terrorism should be condemned at all cause! Lets hope for a smashing Olympics...the world needs it.

the body building craze...
It seems that the body building craze has caught up with me...so far I've clocked in 3 solid hours of gym work in the space of 1 week...roughly 30 mins per session(not bad a start for an amateur like me...haha) What drives you on is the sight of other people sweating it out and pushing through their limits. Limits are for those who are afraid to scale new heights...cough...cough...I didn't say that! The effects are already there, a few muscle aches now and then but it feels worthwhile the moment you touched the firmed up muscles...ok ok, no more self appraisal!

Food tasted thus far
Wan tan noodle, mee goreng, teh tarik, roti telur, meatball noodle, chicken rice, ice kacang, cendol, indian rojak, durian, rambutan, papaya...and and and...aiks I can't remember as well.
next up on the list, nasi lemak, bak kut teh, satey, dim sum, prawn mee, asam laksa, bla bla bla...oh well...I might as well give up my weight loss programme.
On a more serious note...things are getting pricey now due to the fuel surcharge. Roti canai now 1 buck per piece, economy rice min 4 bucks, soft drinks 2 bucks...my euros ain't that super anymore cause exchange rate is currently at 5 something. My hand actually froze when I saw the price tag on a T-shirt in Topshop...guess what its only RM 90...less than 20 euros if you convert it. I guess I gotta break that number barrier again before I go on a spree again.
One last thing, for moviegoers...THE DARK KNIGHT ROCKS!!!

art of cowardice
I regret deeply for being a coward today...I didn't have the courage to sit for my paper today and went to get a MC instead. MCs are for people who are really ill and unable to work but here I am the ultimate coward who abused MC to avoid sitting my paper. So, my final act of cowardice...finding another excuse for it...
I am a fighter,
not a whiner,
but I've to fight my battle later,
and now I feel better.
PS: Damn it! My poetic talent had just become better!

the true strength of mankind
The true strength of mankind lies in their ability to bounce back after suffering dissappointments in life. You're great when you are on top but greater when you can get back on top after falling down from it. Shit happens in life but there is no reason to stop trying just because you failed once, twice, thrice and so on.(ok in some instances you don't have the luxury of unlimited chances) The loser will one day get his victory...

夏天=女人发姣的季节
各位女士们，先读完后才生气噢！
夏天，除了是各式各类的花草树木开花结果的季节，也是女士们最迷人的时刻。 虽说是天气太热所致，但也促成了女性穿上小背心，迷你裙类似的服装。 如果硬要我以笔墨来形容的话，我会选择用蝴蝶的蜕变来形容。 冬天她们是蝉，把自己全身包扎。（当然有宁愿冻死也不穿毛衣的那些） 到了夏天，她们就蜕变成了美丽的蝴蝶。 除此之外，冬天的冷酷也一扫而空，换来的是那迷人的笑容， 令男士们的心都通通融掉。为什么说她们发姣呢？ 原因是男士们也穿上了一系列的短裤和紧身T-shirt...当然也要具备足够的分量----俊俏的脸孔和胸肌。
总的来说，我超爱夏天！夏天万岁。
PS:身材没有那么标志的请别露太多，会另99%肤浅的男士们眼痛。 （我是那1%还是那99%呢？）
夏天，除了是各式各类的花草树木开花结果的季节，也是女士们最迷人的时刻。 虽说是天气太热所致，但也促成了女性穿上小背心，迷你裙类似的服装。 如果硬要我以笔墨来形容的话，我会选择用蝴蝶的蜕变来形容。 冬天她们是蝉，把自己全身包扎。（当然有宁愿冻死也不穿毛衣的那些） 到了夏天，她们就蜕变成了美丽的蝴蝶。 除此之外，冬天的冷酷也一扫而空，换来的是那迷人的笑容， 令男士们的心都通通融掉。为什么说她们发姣呢？ 原因是男士们也穿上了一系列的短裤和紧身T-shirt...当然也要具备足够的分量----俊俏的脸孔和胸肌。
总的来说，我超爱夏天！夏天万岁。

Apples
An apple a day, keeps the doctor away. A bad apple however, cast a bad light on other apples. The poisoned apple used by the queen mother on snow white doesn't mean all apples are poisoned. Americans are generally a good bunch but thanks to a certain mr. bush everybody loves to hate them as a whole. The verdict is out on osama bin laden and saddam hussein but the damage is done. The whole world are generally still graped by the whole islamic extremism thingy. Because of tibet, many had threatened to boycott the olympics. China has its fair share of human right issues but due to the work of certain group of bad apples, the hard work and effort athletes put in for this once in four years event are sacrificed on so called 'morality' grounds. A bad apple did all the dirty work but other apples suffer on behalf of this bad apple. We dont want to be the harrods and kumars for god's sake! If so happened you ate a bad apple, be happy as you can take revenge by purging it out furiously during your toilet war...
george town and malacca town
Both cities have been listed as the latest world heritage sites. Many will question the above mentioned selections as both george town and malacca town are not exactly a great city to begin with. What they lack in architectural brilliance is however fully compensated by the cultural heritage left behind by various settlers. The rich racial composition in both towns are the key here. Both are places where various races had lived together harmoniously for centuries. In Malacca town for example, a hindu temple is built next to a mosque and further down the road you will see a buddhist temple. The St. Paul church is also situated on top of the hilltop and the well built by admiral Zheng He is directly at the foot of the hill. Another example is the location of the muslim cemetary ground in between old chinese shop lots.
All this are classic examples of racial harmony and mutual respect we have for each other. Time had proven that we can co-exist! This highly commendable racial tolerance had been here for ages to begin with. During the portuguese rule, no one was forced to convert to christianity and other religions are allowed to flourish. The same applies during the dutch and english rule. What went wrong today? Many are now arguing that places of worship shouldn't be built too near to each other for fear of confrontation. Temples and churches are demolished without taking into account the sensitivity it may cause. Why are we constantly reminded of our differences instead of our common traits?
Education had failed miserably here, the government may blame it squarely on chinese and tamil vernacular schools but what about MARA and UiTM where the percentage of non-bumis are at best limited. Why this double standard? If you want racial integration why there are two systems in Matrikulation and STPM? Why stress on our difference when we are actually common in many things? However this should not take the shine away from penangites and malaccans, congratulations.
PS: when will be KL's turn?

The sense of identity
When we are in another country, what seperate us from others apart from our distinguishable looks? In fact appearance might not even help much, the europeans and americans cant seperate chinese, japanese, korean and vice versa. Sense of identity is what set us apart. This sense of identity takes up various form be it name, country, race, religion, lifestyle etc...I am Malaysian, you might be a jap, an african, an arabian, an american and bla bla bla. When we gather together what occasion would it be? A FAMILY gathering. Why are there still so many cases of racism and discrimination when we all belong to the same family living under one roof - Earth? It is mainly because we have misintepreted the true meaning of identity. Identity gives us a sense of comfort knowing that we are not nameless and homeless. But there are always those who use this sense of identity to trumpet their respective race or religion as the superior ones. This overwhelming feeling of unnecessary "patriotism" had brought us countless wars and mass killings. Religion is supposed to spread peace and love not fanaticism. There is no way I could agree that if I'm not from this certain religion I will be doomed to be in hell. This sense of identity should not be intepreted this way...we are all part of this world, borned equal, pure minded and free of sins. It is the different upbringing that makes us grew wider apart from others. After all we are all homo sapiens...yo, where is the love?

【人生】 仇人 與 恩人
很有意思的管理故事：仇人 與 恩人
大學剛畢業的時候，某電視公司請我去主持個特別節目，
那節目的導播看我文章不錯，又要我兼編劇。
可是當節目做完，領酬勞的時候，
導播不但不給我編劇費，
還扣我一半的主持費。
他把收據交給我說：
『你簽收一千六，但我只能給你八百，因為節目透支了。』
我當時沒吭聲，照簽了，心想 【君子報仇，十年不晚。】
後來那導播又找我，我還【照樣】 幫他做了幾次。
最後一次，他沒扣我錢，變得對我很客氣，
因為那時我被電視公司的新聞部看上，
一下子成為了電視記者兼新聞主播。
我們後來常在公司遇到，他每次笑得都有點尷尬。
我曾經想去告他一狀，可是正如高中那位同學所說，
沒有他我能有今天嗎？
如果我當初不忍下一口氣，又能繼續獲得主持的機會嗎？
機會是他給的，他是我的貴人，他已經知錯，我何必去報復呢？
後來我到了美國留學。
有一天，一位已經就業的同學對我抱怨他的美國老闆 【吃】 他，
不但給他很少的薪水，而且故意拖延他的綠卡 （美國居留權） 申請。
我當時對他說： 『這麼壞的老闆，不做也罷。但你豈能白幹了這麼久，
總要多學一點，再跳槽，所以你要偷偷學。』
他聽了我的話，不但每天加班，留下來背那些商業文書的寫法。
甚至連怎麼修理影印機，都跟在工人旁邊記筆記，
以便有一天自己出去創業，能夠省點修理費。
隔了半年，我問他是不是打算跳槽了？
他居然一笑： 『不用！我的老闆現在對我刮目相看，又升官，又加薪，
而且綠卡也馬上下來了，老闆還問我為什麼態度一百八十度轉變，
變得那麼積極呢？』
他心裏的不平不見了，他作了 『報復』，只是換了一種方法，
而且他自我檢討，當年其實是他自己不努力。
大概前五年吧！
我遇到個有意思的事。
一位老友突然猛學算命，由生辰八字、紫薇斗數、姓名學到占星術，
沒一樣不研究。
他學算命，當然不是覺得算命靈驗，而是想證明算命是騙人的東西。
原因是有一位非常著名的大師為他算命，算他活不到四十七，
他發誓，非打爛那大師的招牌不可。
你猜怎樣？
他愈學愈怕，因為他發現自己算自己，也確實活不長。
這時候，他改了，他跑去做慈善，說：
『反正活不久了，好好運用剩下的歲月，做點有意義的事。』
他很積極地投入，人人都說他變了，
由一個焦躁勢利的小人，變成敦厚慈愛的君子。
不知不覺，他過了四十七、過了四十八，而今已經五十三，
紅光滿面、生氣勃勃，比誰都活利健康。
「你可以去砸那大師的招牌了！」 我有一天開他玩笑。
他眼一亮，回問我： 『為什麼？』
又笑笑： 『要不是那人警告我，照我以前的個性，
確實四十七歲非犯心臟病不可，他沒有不準啊！』
各位年輕朋友！
你喜歡逞強鬥狠嗎？
你總是心有不平嗎？
你有 【此仇不報非君子】 的憤恨嗎？
一點心得
你要知道，【敵人、仇人】 …
都可以 【激發】 你的【潛能】 ，成為你的【貴人】。
你也要知道，許多怨仇、不平，其實問題都出在你自己。
你更要知道，這世間最好的 『報復』 ，就是運用那股不平之氣，
使自己邁向成功，以那成功和 【成功之後的胸懷】 ，
對待你當年的敵人，且把敵人變成朋友。
當 『冤冤相報何時了』 的 【雙贏】 ，
能成為 【相逢一笑泯恩仇】 的 【雙贏】。
不是人生最大的成功嗎？
是不是：如果你是正確的，你的世界就是正確的？

Angels...
"...in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there..." (Westlife, Angel)
in the arms of an angel, you will find your moment of bliss,
in her arms, you will find that moment of solace,
for she is forever your guardian angel,
protecting you from the downfalls of this world,
she can be anyone beside you,
your family, your friend, your lover or even a stranger,
open your heart to your guardian angel,
for she has already opened hers to you....
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there..." (Westlife, Angel)
in the arms of an angel, you will find your moment of bliss,
in her arms, you will find that moment of solace,

Shopping
Someone told me this...a girl pays 1 buck to buy a stuff worth 2 bucks which they don't really need and a guy will however pay 2 bucks for something worth 1 buck which he really needs. Does this difference in shopping concept really boils down to gender? Well it seems so to me...I certainly won't hesitate if I've to pay extra to get what I really want. In a sense you can say guys are really rigid when it comes to shopping. We don't walk for 3 hours in the shopping mall and come out of it empty handed whereas the girls will linger on for another few hours and window shop all they like and yet come out with nothing but pure satisfaction. Well guys...you better wish your future wives and girlfriends are like that or else your wallet will bleed non-stop. However not many guys can really tag along for the whole day willingly...yes I'm stressing the word WILLINGLY. I have seen my dad lost interest and sat on the bench while my mum continue her window shopping. So what is so fun in shopping? For a girl this is her forte, she is always the one with an eye for a bargain and gains ultimate satisfaction when her choice of purchase is lower than market value. I guess certain things never gonna change...i.e. most girls do like shopping, and most guys find it hard to tag along.(in this sentence I'm not trying an cheap attempt on stereotyping)
In a nutshell,
He : get the things he wants and willing to pay big bucks for it.
She: bought many things on bargain but then figured out she don't really need it.

Marie Digby...my new fav singer
Theres a girl
Who sits under the bleachers
Just another day eating alone
And though she smiles
There is something she's hiding
And she cant find a way to relate
She just goes unnoticed
As the crowd passes by
And she'll pretend to be busy
When inside she just wants to cry
She'll say...
Chorus
Take a little look at the life of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little closer, I really really want you to put yourself in her shoes
Take another look at the face of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little harder and maybe then you will see why she waits for the day
When you'll ask her her name
In the beginning, in the first weeks of class
She did everything to try and fit in
But the others they couldnt seem to get past all the things that mismatched on the surface
And she would close her eyes when they laughed and she fell down the stairs
And the more that they joked
And the more that they screamed
She retreated to where she is now
And she'll sing...
Chorus
Take a little look at the life of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little harder I really really want you to put yourself in her shoes
Take a little look at the face of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little closer and maybe then you will see why she waits for the day that you will ask her...her name
And one day just the same as the last
Just the days spent in counting the time
Came a boy who sat under the bleachers just a little bit further behind...

joy and heartbreak in the matter of one minute
Those who experienced it before can vividly recall it as the most heart wrenching feeling ever(the croats can tell you that). One moment you are having the time of your life, basking in the victorious limelight but suddenly disaster struck and everything you had came crashing down in a minute's time. This is akin to being in heaven one moment and in hell the other moment. You can blame this on fate and god's cruelty but I can say that this is what life is about. You have your ups and downs in life. While I am deeply sympathetic to those who have to go through both in a matter of one minute, this is a lesson that has to be learned in life. If life is a ferris wheel so please be humble and down to earth when you reach the top and presevere and keep fighting on at the lowest point. Patience is the key here and sooner or later your turn will come where you will reach the top.
The time of your life might be as short as a minute but inside your heart it is eternal...

never say die...the turkish spirit
The turks have shown us what is it all about in this never say die spirit. Their recent stunning comeback against croatia in EURO 2008 is not the first time for them. In fact it was the third time they had done it. When the odds are heavily stacked against them they didn't buckle under pressure and they choose to fight on until the very last minute. The croatians scored in 119th minute and with the last kick of the match the turks equalised and as I say the rest is history.
In moments of despair we should never give up fighting. This is the never say die attitude that we should admire, learn, and finally apply it. You will never know the turning point is just 1 minute later...
Miracles are hard to come by but the moment you stopped fighting your probability of getting a miracle decreases. Keep fighting on and create your own miracle...the turks have done it...its your turn!!!

大树与孩子
从前有一棵大树，它很疼这个小孩。小孩经常到来爬树，摘萍果，荡韆鞦。过了很久，这个小孩已经长大成人。有一天他很不开心的来到大树面前对大树说：“大树，我现在很想盖房子” 大树对他说：“行，没问题。你拿我的树干去盖房子吧” 后来，这个小孩已变成老人。有一天这老人又面对不开心的事，于是便找大树聊天。大树问他：“你要些什么？” 他对大树说：“我已经没牙齿吃苹果，也没有力气爬树，我只是很想好好的坐下休息” 最后这棵大树就很开心的把它唯一的树根让这个变成年迈老伯的小孩坐下来休息。这个故事教训我们要学大树一样，不断的奉献并牺牲自己，还是像小孩那样不停的接受而不付出？哪你是大树呢，还是小孩？
PS：我在此向世上的“大树们”道谢。你们让这世界变得更美好，是你们另我这个小孩有那么憧憬的回忆...

Opinions...my say
Ok, I will spare you guys the definition. Before we start debating the various pros and cons of giving opinions, I have a simple question to ask...Is your opinion based on your own views or after taking into considerations of others? Come on spare me the excuses that it is better to be straight talking...giving opinions straight out without thinking different points of view only brings 2 possibilities. Firstly being that you might offend people, secondly being worshipped for being straight forward. Opinions that are based on your own point of view are the ones mentioned the fastest compared to those which were given a careful thought. As the saying goes, disaster comes out from the mouth. We are all flawed beings and nobody can claim to be superior than the rest. You might be older and wiser but this doesn't make you more qualified to claim superiority over others. In terms of giving opinions, an older person do have a slight edge over the younger ones as he or she is more experienced. Just more experienced, nothing more. So to sum this up, everyone is entitled to have an opinion but do think properly before giving out your opinion. The new needs friends!

sorry seems to be...what?
Hey, I'm sorry bla bla bla for whatever reason...this sentence is very commonly used. Is sorry such an important vocabulary to us? We almost say sorry regardless of time and place. I cant recall how many SORRYs I have said. I said sorry when I did not pass up my homework, I said sorry when I scored badly in my exams, I said sorry again when I made somebody upset. Why is sorry so conveniently used? To me sorry is rather worthless ...sorry really don't cure up the mess for god's sake. It is just one small consolation to make yourself feel better. Sorry cant bring back lives lost in wars. A simple sorry cant bring back the ones who are dead and it certainly wont undo what had been done. Why bother to apologize then? Well...many people deem it appropriate to say sorry because it is simple manners that we were all brought up with. A sorry will never cure anything...but a sincere and heartfelt sorry goes a long way to repairing the damage. Saying it with your heart shows others that you are remorseful and you are willing to admit your mistakes. However saying sorry casually will only serve to worsen things...when sorry is used as an excuse to escape punishment...it is worthless! Is sorry the word you want to hear when someone killed your loved ones or betrayed you emotionally? I bet it will be a big NO...sorry at that moment is the last word the person will ever want to hear. What is sorry then? Who created this word? I deem it worthless...a word which pales in significance with love. People always find it hard to say I love you than I am sorry. Sorry seems to be? Some will say the hardest word to say. I say you only say sorry when you really meant it...don't ever use it too often as its value is rather low to begin with. On the other hand, the person which is wronged must not act all too high and mighty. You might be wronged but what makes you think you are holier than thou? Humans make mistakes but their greatest achievement is forgiving those who wronged them. Forgiveness is afterall the greatest act of love ever known to mankind alongside sharing. Those who forgive is those who understand the word sorry the most.
取自奕伦的无稽之谈
抽烟危害健康？真的吗。不知道。只知道人家说，抽烟会致癌。本人在此深深的不赞同这个看法。何谓抽烟会早死？由谁能够证明，是抽烟者早死，还是早死的人喜欢抽烟。虽然只是换个说法，但意思却不同。因为人的眼睛，是特别的，只能从一个角度看。意思是说，一个人早死与否，和抽烟无关，只和它的命运有关。肤浅的科学家，一口咬定，抽烟危害健康。咳。如果华佗再世，那就好了。
为什么那么多人都说抽烟不好。真得那么不好吗。其实，抽烟只是让人有自己的私人空间，让自己冷静下来，让自己放松心情。香烟点燃自己照拂人群。蜡烛点燃自己，照亮别人。两者牺牲完全一样，但蜡烛却换来好评，而香烟呢，被糟蹋得一文不值。朋友们又试过想想香烟的感受吗？就因为出生地点不同，一个是香烟工厂，一个石蜡工厂。唉。做人总是现实的。出生环境不一样，所获得的待遇就不一样。香烟也只能怪自己命苦了。
这个文章说的好说的妙，我本身并不赞同抽烟...但奕伦能够从不同角度来分析事物，实属难得。何谓同名不同命就是这么一回事。每个人的命运虽说都掌握在自己手里，但某些事是无论如何都不能勉强，一切听天由命。缘份就是一个例子...香烟和缘份听起来好像毫无关联。但其实它们俩都有一个共同点...就是同名不同命。缘份不是说要有就有，一切都要听取天命，不由得你乱来。你可以很喜欢很喜欢一个人，但他却对你毫无感觉。无论你多么不愿意接受事实都好，冥冥中就注定他和你无缘。一些人可以桃花运一波接一波，招架不及。可也有一些好久好久才开一次花。正如腊烛和香烟，一个燃烧自己，照亮他人，另一个却祸害他人。香烟固然害人，但它的命运却好苦，正如一些没缘的人。我不是想替抽烟辩护，但它的却有它有用之处。正如奕伦所说，抽烟只是让人有自己的私人空间，让自己冷静下来，让自己放松心情。但缘份往往令人希望越高，矢望越大...为什么呢？我也很想知道...、
fate has it his way when things are not meant to be yours, the more you desire, the more pain you have to go through. Letting go of your stubborness is the way to achieve that moment of bliss...I wish I can do that...

What Love means to a 4-8 year old ....
Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes.
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined See what you think:
'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'
Rebecca- age 8
'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'
Billy - age 4
'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.'
Karl - age 5
'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.'
Chrissy - age 6
'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'
Terri - age 4
'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'
Danny - age 7
'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
'Nothing, I just helped him cry'
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined See what you think:

So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'

Jokes...impromptu
Everybody likes a good laugh and a good joke is one of many ways towards it. There is however a downside to joking too often and at the wrong moment. First of all you don't joke around with a person who are obviously in a foul mood and agitated. You probably don't joke at around 3am and expect the person to accept your sense of humour in a jest. Joking is actually not a very good thing to do, in a sense it makes you look stupid when the joke is lame and rather distastefully done. Another big minus to joker-wannabe is that people won't take him seriously when he meant business. The others will have the perception that this joker was joking yet again. However this is not the biggest issue here. The biggest being that joking too often makes people lose respect for you. For instance, your friend has always been a humourous person for many years and you probably don't know him that well after all this years because he has been joking a lot all this while without actually revealing his trueself. Jokes do make you happy but what do you actually gain after listening it time and again. A person who jokes well might have alot of casual friends due to his infectious jokes that can trigger your laughing nerve. But after all thess jokes, do you take him as a friend who can confide your secrets to? The answer is probably no, why would I share my secrets who can easily joke without shame. He might dismiss his act of exposing my secrets as a joke gone bad. Well everything went wrong you said its a joke huh? The 1 million dollar question here is when not to treat jokes as your excuses for saying something that brings disdain to others. Why is it so convenient to say "I'm just joking" when in fact you actually meant it. I guess everybody understand why...a bad joke can be forgotten after sometime but if u meant it as something serious, the person will be mad at you for a longer time if not forever. After all this minuses, is there any reasons to joke anymore? Of course there is, will you want a friend who is always so serious with you and don't think jokes are funny? Those who can take a joke in a positive manner reflects his or her personality as a person who is forgiving and loving in nature...but still don't jump to conclusions and start joking at the wrong time. Don't push your luck and start running your mouth at the wrong time for even angels have temper. Here is a tip when not to joke...when a person is sleepy, he tends to be agitated no matter how good his manners is...so don't start your charm offence(in this context trying to be funny) at that moment. One more thing, if you want people to respect you do joke less. Respect is not gained by making people laugh until their tears start flowing but rather when you start conserving it for the right timing. When is the right timing? I seriously dunno but mine is after 3am in the morning...=P
Joke, Joke, Joke,
You brought me laughter,
And a bit of pleasure,
But when you do it wrong,
I feel so wronged,
You are afterall nothing but a joke...
PS: cheers its my 1st attempt of being a poet, so spare my rythm...

Before we criticise, read this...
Anton Ego in Ratatouille said:
In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defence of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new, an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto: Anyone can cook. But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France. I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more.
As the cartoon guy said, it is easy to give negative criticism and people like it very much...some will say without criticism there wont be improvements...this is also true but before you decide to criticise next time, think what you are gonna say over again before saying it out...the new needs friends...
PS: Someone should let Simon Cowell read this.

一念之差
最近看了一套连续剧叫forensic heroes II...剧中有一番话令我有所共鸣。剧中有一位连环杀人犯叫张耀忠，他经历了连番矢去身边最亲爱的人的痛苦。女儿在一场大火中被活活烧死，他把一切责任怪罪在没把他女儿救出来的消防员。那位消防员选择把另一个残障女孩先救了出来，但却没时间救出耀忠的女儿。他怀孕在身的妻子经不起打击后来滥服安眠药自杀死了，一尸两命。这件事令他对人生的观念大大的改变...他变的偏激了。他任为好人是没有好报的...这一念之差另他把那位消防员杀了，除此之外他还杀了两位残障女子。相信大家都会问为什么连两位于他无关的女子都要杀害...这可以从他矢去女儿的那一刻有关...残障女孩获救了，但他女儿因为健全而没被首先救出。这让他对残障人士产生了憎很...是他们害死他女儿，不该留在这世界上。回到另我有共鸣的那句话...人在经历挫折后会有两种现象...1）他会长大，2）他会进入死角，钻牛角尖。一念之差...就是说这一回事。这个现象可以用来形容我...一路以来一直坚定的信念被动摇后，我竟然想放弃我对人对事的方式。我说过好心没有好报只会在电影中常出现，这虽然没错但我却不应该放弃一直以来做事不贪图回报的心态。其他人不欣赏不感激是他们的事，我只对我自己的良心负责任。就算吃再多亏我也不应该放弃我的信念，人人如何笑我傻骂我笨我都不应该放弃！最重要的是，我必须做会我以前的自己...用最真诚的那一面来对待他人，不然这一念之差又会应驗在我的身上了。我要做到第一个选择...长大成人。宁让天下人负我，莫教我负天下人...说到底我也是普通人一个，不能与圣人相提并论，我这么说不是想说我有多伟大，而是想说我应该做会我自己...不要在造假。Being taken for granted is not an excuse to stop being yourself...thinking falsely that others are taking you for granted is not an excuse to overreact and change your believes. I have overreacted yet again and this is where I should learn to improve. When others don't regconize your effort, you must not stop working hard. In the end, you are only responsible to yourself, you don't have to care what others think about you. Be happy with what you are and answer to your own conciousness. Afterall success and failure is only separated by a very thin line, but so does your own thinking. A moment of mistake in your thinking brings regret for life...一念之差

Forgetting Sarah Marshall...
This is an awesome movie...a perfect movie for me in a sense as it has everything I want in a movie: pretty actresses - kristen bell and mila kunis, nice movie soundtrack...inside of you by infant sorrow(russell brand), solid love comedy. Actually it is not exactly a comedy as it involves heartache. For hamsap guys...there is a nice photo of mila kunis in the movie(photoshopped to be exact).
The sypnosis as copied from www.imdb.com.......
When you've got a good job and a world-famous girlfriend, you've got it all, right?!? Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a Coming of Age story told well and acted better. Peter Bretter (played by Jason Segal and also the movies writer) is a man too comfortable, sitting on his couch-world, to grasp that everyone must grow up and in the process, change or people will leave him behind.
Peter writes/performs the musical score to a successful TV drama in which his girlfriend, Sarah Marshall, is the lead actress. Sarah leaves Peter, and thus starts Peters journey with the help of friends, to realize that he didnt really like the life he was living. They help him forget Sarah Marshall to grow and change his life for the better.
Peter's half-brother (Bill Hader as Brian Bretter) is the reflection Peter sees in the mirror and is reluctant to embrace --in a relationship with responsibilities to a partner that goes beyond physical presence. [Interesting to note the evolution of Mr. Segal from his supporting role as Jason in 2007s Knocked Up another coming of age movie for 20-somethings...the movie is filled with internal compare/contrasts to itself and the Actor's other works and real-life asperations. How much is intentional and how much is coincident is left to the viewer, but this is a smartly written adult comedy.]
Kristen Bell as the title's "Sarah Marshall" does well with the material -- her character is mult-dimensional as she is both the villain and the victim. While her character emotionally hurts Peter, she has cause as revealed in a fairly depicted series of flashbacks. [It is interesting to note, Sarah's desire to break out from being a successful TV actress to movies is an interesting simile to Peter's desire to break out from being a successful TV mood musician to aspiration to become a Rock Opera composer and Ms. Bell plays it well from the heart as if she also longs break out of the Veronica Mars role to her first leading actress role.]
But it is not just Peter that Sarah is running from; she has run into the arms of Aldous Snow (Russell Brand), a famous lead singing rock star. Snow almost steals the movie, with his philosophical musings and ability to play the guy you want to hate but wish was my best friend despite stealing my girlfriend role perfectly. In some ways Peter sees Snow as the worldly guy he wishes he was, but Peter realizes that he cannot be like Snow and force the world to take him as he is and be successful, but rather adapt to the world in his own terms to succeed. [Of course there are parallels when Snow plays to the crowd and to his girl and when Peter plays to another crowd and his girl...the men are more similar on stage than they realize, which may be why Peter likes Snow.] At the critical point, it is Snow's unwillingness to grow that has him to move on and gives the opportunity he thought he sought -- the chance to reunite with Sarah.
However, prior to getting to that point in the story, Peter gets off his real and proverbial couch to meet a series of people whom help him "forget" Sarah. Pride, self-worth and compromise are explored well without bogging down nor being too serious. Central to Peter's growth are Chuck (Paul Rudd) and Rachel Jansen (Mila Kunis). Chuck is the surfing instructor who sees the hurt behind Peters eyes and teaches him to stand on a surf board (another analogy for standing up for himself/getting back up when one is knocked down). While played at times for laughs, there are real life-lessons in what Chuck, Rachel and the other characters offer Peter. Ultimately, Peter stands up and realizes that his affection for Rachel is real and worth the risks to help out a friend. Through them, Peter breaks out and becomes the man he learns he wants to be and achieves the personal satifaction and professional success he seeks.
The movie is rated R for (strong male and some female) nudity, sex scenes, language and alcohol use discussion about drugs. It is not recommended for young children.
Two thumbs up from me...ffs watch it!!! (PS: close your eyes if you see a banana)

Germany vs Poland...my tip
Guys and girls, its football time. Tonight's match of the pick is germany vs poland. On paper this may seem an easy walkover for germany. But please bear in mind, poland has hit a purple patch and is in their form of the life. They qualified top of their group in expense of portugal...yup its the same portugal that defeated turkey yesterday. Germany certainly boast an awesome track record in tournaments. They were 3rd in the last world cup...but the only blemish to their fine record was the EURO 2004. Then they crashed out during the group stage, causing rudi voeller to lose his job as bundestrainer. Now with joachim loew they are close to being their best again. So the odds are heavily stacked against poland in my humble opinion. Germany to win 2-1 if everything goes according to plan. With Lehmann in goal, its very hard not to concede, but the presence of klose and gomez can certainly offset any potential leakage by outscoring their opponents. So guys, time to flash ur cash if you're betting...its a roller coaster ride tonight with germany emerging as victor. Deutschland! Deutschland!
PS: on a more selfish tone, I would prefer germany to lose. If they do win, I would lose my blissful sleep!!!

Confession of a minor
I had long been suffering in the shadow for too long. This shadow has been cast over me since I lost my competitive edge at 16. After 16, I was totally a shadow of my past. In the past I'm competitive and I always strive to be the best academically. Many will ask how I lost it and why I desert it...there is no clear answer to that but I can tell everyone I am just sick of always being judged by the book cover(stereotyped). Just because I am a son of a math teacher doesn't mean I must be a math genius. The effort I put in in order to get 100 marks in math is cruelly dismissed. There are some who even dare to talk behind me that my mum leaked the questions to me beforehand. There was once I got 44 marks for add maths and the same group now chided me for shaming my mum's name. The constant scrutiny I get for being in the same school where my mum work as a teacher is too much for me to bear. Every single mistake I do will be amplified and reported to my mum immediately. I am expected from the start to be holier than thou and smart. Who the hell said that a teacher's son must be smart? Whose fucking idea is that? In my school alot of people dare not approach me for the fear of incurring my mum's wrath...she was once a discipline teacher...sigh. Guess thats how and why I lost my competitive streak, people simply don't acknowledge the effort I put in. Another incident worth mentioning is I was basically awarded the post of president in a club because everyone is afraid to go against my mum again. At present, I don't want to point fingers at anyone because it is over and totally behind me. I'm cool with constantly living behind people's shadow because I actually hated the limelight and my so called "special status" in my school. Today I am standing up for those who have suffered silently like me, those being taken for granted for keeping quiet everytime. All these years I've grown used to being taken for granted as my opinion seldom count. Why am I saying so? After several academic setbacks in my college life, I have lost confidence in my ability. In this ruthless world, people will look to the smart ones for advice, I'm not smitten about it...hey! everybody likes a winner doesn't it? How things changed huh? I have imagined a better life leaving my mum's shadow in the college but it seems otherwise. I am surrounded by a bunch of hugely motivated and intelligent smart asses who are waiting for their turn to rule the world. I guess being the worst among the best is not too bad but the constant stereotyping that this guy wont get anything right and will lead us to nowhere has seriously hurt me. Being constantly outshone and outsmarted did no good to my confidence levels. The only virtue I have according to some which is me being a nice guy has gone against me time and again. The good will alwalys defeat the bad only occurs in the movies at a higher frequency. Being nice and sincere to others has certainly brought me a few good friends but mostly take it as a pinch of salt. Well, guess its life afterall...you don't expect so much in return after giving so much. So the nice guy queitly trudge along with a fake smile that not many even notice. The fake mask he dons everyday to class has hidden his true inner feelings with admirable results. He still even have the nerve to make fun of others eventhough he knows how they are feeling. I am not asking everybody to suddenly sit up and take notice of me because as alwalys I hate hogging the limelight. In times of arguments I seldom put my point across because I know nobody take me seriously because I don't look like one. The argument will end with me admitting defeat in 80% of the cases as my principle that time is not to make enemy with anyone else. I am always portrayed as the guy who don't give a fuck with what's happening. No doubt that I am like that because I'm sick of being constantly taken for granted. Why bother to ask me when you know what you are going to do? A good case of fearing the fierce ones and bullying the gentle ones is when I'm being asked to show directions...which I admit I know nuts about it. Just after a few wrong turns people start getting on my back. Is it because I am always so mild mannered and laughing so fucking fake that you guys think I am easy to pick on. If you are so fucking good, please fucking show the fucking way. I know I am getting out of control here...I don't intend to start a name-calling circus here. I'm just stating my point that just because I don't show my anger when I'm pissed doesn't mean that I'm alright with it. I may laugh and shrug it off as nothing when asked about it but don't ever assume I'm all cool about it. People say I have super good temper and in fact not even one has seen me losing my temper once. Well the saying that the silent tiger is the deadliest is true...so don't even try to push me towards that. All hell will break loose if that happens. Being nice to others is my nature, I can't change it no matter how much I tried. A nice guy will not survive this ruthless world if others don't appreciate him and he doesn't know how to protect himself. I would say I won't purposely be a bad guy overnight but if things keep turning against me, this world will lose one very soon. One more thing which is proven true in 99% of the cases...girls do like bad boys...loathe it or not...the nice guys will find this hard to swallow. Don't worry...there is still 1% left...there is always hope right? Fucking hell, gimme a break! If hope remains a hope, what should you do? Ask yourself don't ask me...my hope has failed me since 16. If the punishment for being ruthless and heartless is going to hell...so be it! A heartless person wont have a heart to feel the pain of heartache and best of all he gains happiness by causing pain to others. I am sick of putting this smiling mask everyday and smile eventhough I am not happy.
welcome to the darker side of me...

What goes down when everything goes up?
First of all, this question was posted by hui wenn, the cute little godsister of mine. The latest increase in fuel price by 78 cents had awaken quite a demon...public fury. My dad was seen with a strained eyebrow when I chatted with him on the webcam. He was there lecturing me all the consequences of fuel price hike such as how it used to cost 5 cents for a bowl of mee during his school boy days. Well, I guess certain things that had gone up wont come back down again(except of course your savings!!!)...fuel price, electricity bill, toll, our favourite roti canai, nasi lemak and teh tarik will cost us alot more from now onwards. I can start to see a M-shaped society. At both ends of the 'M' are the hardcore poor ones on the left and the filthy rich ones at the other end. The middle class are gradually slipping into oblivion. A person who earns 3000 bucks in KL with a family of 4 barely making ends meet says it all about the situation. In germany an average worker earns about 2000 euros a month which is roughly 10000 bucks in Malaysian ringgit and can afford to own a reasonable VW car. For your information, a BMW 3 series only cost about 10K euros. The petrol price is about 1.50 to 2 euros per litre but life seems to go on well here. Germany is a oil importing country but they seem to manage inflation so well. What is wrong with Malaysia then? Who should we blame then? Is this the goverment's fault for mismanagement of petroleum money or the over reliance of the people on fuel subsidy? Before we start blaming people, lets take a look at ourselves first. Every household now owns at least a car if not more than 2. The cars they own to be honest is not fully utilised as they should. The dad drives to work with a car. Mum drives another and in some families the son drives another to college. Each car is driven by a single person and the car can fit 5 person. The norm now is to drive a car eventhough the shop is only few minutes walk away. We all know where the problems lie...the question is can we change it? Don't complain about fuel price when you are responsible to it!!!

Change...impromptu
"Change we can believe in"...the "obama-mania" had certainly caught up with me. The word change never fails to inspire people eventhough it is actually a double edged sword to begin with. A change can be towards a better future or otherwise. We generally fear changes as we are so used to our comfort zone no matter how bad our present situation is. Our inability to foresee our own future makes us shunt changes as we are afraid of leaving ourselves vulnerable to the unpredictabilities of life. No matter how reluctant we are, we must constantly change ourselves in order to adapt. If we are too stubborn to even change our underwear, the consequences are far more serious than a mere viral infection around your groin. A lot of people will question, why change when things are going great? In a sense its true you don't fix a thing if it ain't broke. The point here is not to change for the sake of changing, it is the type like what obama said...change we can believe in. We must not shut the door to the merest wind of change without even giving this wind the chance to blow away the bad things in life. Does it mean you have to change your belief whenever you encounter bad moments? The answer is yes and no...yes to accepting new ideas and no to indecisiveness. This may sound contradicting but it is actually asking us to be flexible in handling difficulties. Accept new ideas and change when your old ways keep leading you to dead ends, stand your ground if you believe you are correct.
Change we can believe in,
Change we can hope for,
Change we can trust in,
Change we can die for,
Change when change is not worth to believe in.
Obama inspired post.
Change we can believe in,

You're my angel by Loretta Chow
Once upon a time
Archangel in the sky
Made a cover every night
Once upon a time
The angel loved me so
It'a miracle
In the snow, my heart won't be cold
My Dear
You are my angel
Tell me what you know
Something should be told
My Dear
You are my angel
Tell me where you go
I will prance behind your flow
Once upon a time
My angel gave me life

１００个对不起（看了不要哭,很经典）
今天期中考，学校早一点放学，我打了通电话给他。
：喂，我今天比较早放学，你来载我回家好不好？
：好，等我五分钟。
：五分钟？我学校就在你家旁边耶。
：我总要打扮一下啊。
：好啦，快一点喔。
下午2：00，太阳大的让我有种冲动想喷鼻血，我站在树荫下挥动着手，虽然没凉到哪里去，但是煽总比不煽好。
五分钟过了，他还没来，我看看手表，有点不高兴，十分钟过了，他还没到..，该不会出了什么事吧？呸呸呸...乌鸦嘴，十五分钟过了，他总算到了。
：怎么这么慢？
他一副无所谓的样子说：没啊，看个电视。
什么？看个电视？你要不要顺便睡个觉洗个澡吃个饭再来？我没有说话，没有拿安全帽，没有上车的瞪着他。
：对不起。
这是他第一次对我说对不起，他是一个很大男人主义，爱面子的男生，所以他从不像女生低头说对不起，我看着他，好吧，似乎面有惭色，我带上安全帽，让他载我回家。
他总是这样，从来不解释，不争论，不跟我吵架，只跟我说对不起，有些事，不是一句对不起就能解决的，但是他都跟我道歉了，我也就没再追究下去，他说，我是第一个让他说对不起的女生。
认错需要很大的勇气，但是他从来都没有改进他的错误，对不起反而变成一种打发我的话。在他说第59次对不起时，我流着泪，低下头说：你不要再跟我说对不起了，如果你无法改变，就不要让我给你一次又一次的机会，相信你会改变。他轻轻的拥着我，说了第60句对不起。
虽然如此，他还是没有改变，不做任何的解释，我开始怀疑他是不是有事瞒着我。
：你最近怎么了？
：没有啊。
：那你为什么心情不好？
：没有啊。
：又是没有啊，你除了这句话以外没有别的吗？你知不知道我很担心，很没有安全感，你到底有没有当我是你女朋友？
：...对不起。
：我不要听你说对不起。
我挂了电话，他也没有打来，他根本就不在乎我，也许，我们该结束ㄌ..........这是他说的第99句对不起....。
从那天开始，我再也没有找过他，他也没有打电话给我，有时候，我会接到一通无声的电话，但是我喂了几声，就挂了，有一种直觉是他，但是他为什么都不说话？一个月之后，我按奈不住思念的心情决定到他学校找他，我在教室外东张西望的，就是没有看到他的人影，我随便抓了一个男生来问。
：同学，请问一下，梦伟今天有来吗？
：他休学了。
：啊？为什么？什么时候的事？
：他已经一个月没来了。
：...喔..谢谢。一个月..一个月没来，怎么会呢？
我跌跌撞撞的回到家..拨他的手机：您的电话已经为您转到语音信箱，请在嘟一声...。我挂了电话，打到他家，响了好久都没有人接，怎么会？全家移民吗？他仿佛是从这世界上消失了一样，没有一点痕迹。 他该不会另结新欢了吧？我开始胡思乱想，我找不到他..，正当我烦恼的时候，电话突然响了，是阿立打来的，他是梦伟的死党也是我的好友。
：喂，你还在干嘛啊？
：什么？
：ㄚ伟在医院啦。
：真的？他怎么了？
：没有啦，他在○○医院，就是你上次住的那一家。
：我马上去。
我立刻用我出生以来最大的速度飙到那家医院，在医院看到了他****和妈妈，我向他们问了他在哪一间病房之后，就急忙的飞奔而去。
他躺在床上，眼睛看着我，没有说话，没有起床，一动也不动的。
：喂，你怎么了？为什么不通知我呢？
他没有回答我，只是一直用同样的眼神看着我。
：回答我啊，你为什么不说话？
他眼角留下了一滴泪，身体仿佛用了最大的力气，牵动着嘴角
：...对不起...。说完，他闭上了眼睛。
：喂，你别装了好不好，为什么要说对不起，我不要你说对不起啊，你起来啊，回答我啊。
我哭倒在他床边，拉着他的衣服哭喊着：你为什么要说对不起，连说服我的理由都没有？我不会原谅你，你起来啊，你说对不起没有用啊，你不起来我这辈子都不会原谅你，我求求你....睁开眼睛啊...。
这是他说的一百句对不起...一群医生和护士拉开我，开始抢救他，我全身没有力气再站起来，我的头脑一片空白，眼前一片漆黑..。
他没有离开这个世界，只是我永远都无法触摸到他，但他有时也会在我的梦中出现，告诉我他过的好不好。
他还是陪着我，还是活着，在我心里，他依然如昔，还是会笑着叫我咏熙，叫我老婆，只是..他不再对我说对不起了...。
过了几个月，他妈妈来找我，给了我一个盒子，里面装的，是一百张照片，每一张照片的背面，都写着它让我生气的事情。
第一次对不起，老婆，我今天不是故意迟到的，我也知道理由很烂，但是我真的不忍心说实话，我在出门前突然心脏绞痛，但是我已经尽量赶了，原谅我好吗？第二次对不起?老婆，我..........
第三次对不起，老婆，我...
................................
............................
...................
................
...........
.........
.....
第一百次对不起，老婆，我不是狠心要丢下你，只是上帝似乎不给我这个机会让我爱你一辈子，为你带上戒指，你是我第一个让我说对不起的女孩，也是我第一个想共度一生的女孩，原谅我不能给你幸福，我会化作天使，守护着你，看着你得到幸福，答应我，别哭，我不要看到你为了我憔悴流泪的样子，我爱你。bye 梦伟
我怎么可能不哭，你的要求太严苛了，最后一张照片，是他在医院理拍的，照片上他笑的很灿烂，他变的好瘦，脸色好苍白，但是他还是露出了笑容，拍这第
一百张照片。
在他最虚弱罪痛苦的时候，我没有陪着他。
对不起。
我抱着他的照片，泪流不止！！ 愿天下所的情人.愿你们能珍惜眼前的人,不要失去后才懂得珍惜...不要让悲剧再次上演!

Shu Wen's spendid poem
love is no soap opera
but it's certainly like a tv drama
always full of melodrama
makes you crawl back to your mama
love is bitter sweet
like a box of chocolate
it often makes u weep
like a helpless dumb bastard
love makes you frown
it never fails to bring you down
it makes you wanna drown
sometimes you rather be a clown
love makes you wonder
love makes you ponder
it often makes you a drifter
till u hit a boulder
love can be cruel
love can be kind
but most importantly
love is, love is nothing but mankind
this is one splendid piece of poem...no doubt sickening truthful...but I applaud this moment of brilliance from Shu Wen. You have earned my deepest respect...

Definition of banana
A banana is not only a fruit...it is also used to describe a person who don't understand mandarin and chinese dialects well. There are 3 types of bananas. A semi banana can speak, listen and read to a certain extent, as in when you scold them with foul words using dialect they get angry immediately. A full banana is those where you are literally talking to an "ang mo" from overseas. No offence here but when sometimes you use bad words on them with a polite tone and smile, they will think that you are greeting them and they will smile back. However, please don't ever underestimate their level of intelligence...there was once an incident where 2 indonesians were making fun of a german inside the bas. They said the german sitting opposite them looks like a monkey due to his bushy appearance. They talked and laughed so loud, totally ignoring the fact that the german was listening attentively without actually reacting. In the end, on his way out, the polite german said something back to them..."Monyet pun bisa cakap bahasa indonesia" Once again this is LEGEN...wait for it...wait for it...DARY! Bananas(the fruit or otherwise?)are actually good for digestion, you see them you will feel like going to toilet and start shitting...just banter...don't be offended.
On the other hand, a non banana or the so called cina-kia who don't use english as often as bananas is however prone to making such mistake as below...
Caller : Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan? (anyone)
Operator : Yes, you can speak to me.
Caller: No, I want to speak to Annie Wan!
Operator: You are talking to someone! Who is this?
Caller: I'm Sam Wan (someone) and I need to talk to Annie Wan! It's urgent.
Operator: I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone! But what's
this urgent matter about?
Caller: Well... just tell my sister Annie Wan that our brother Noel Wan (no one) was
involved in an accident. Noel Wan got injured and now Noel Wan is being
sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan is on his way to the hospital.
Operator: Look if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then
the accident isn't an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I don't
have time for this!
Caller: You are so rude! Who are you?
Operator: I'm Saw Lee. (sorry)
Caller: Yes! You should be sorry. Now give me your name!!
So guys and girls...A banana should not be ashamed of his or her banananess...but a non banana should brush up his or her listening skills to avoid such mistakes again.

亲爱的妈咪，祝你身体健康，笑口常开。当然您给我多些零用钱我就会龙马精神，如意吉祥，大吉大利，恭喜发财，没完没了地念下去。这个不是重点，你不给我零用钱我还饿不坏。重点是我只又你这位妈妈，没有你的细心栽培就没有今天的我。对我来说，天天都是母亲节。妈咪是我心目中的miss universe，美貌与智慧并重。以后找另一半，当然是以你为水准指标。好啦，废话说完了。妈咪万岁！！！ 没有妈咪的日子比没有常在心的日子还难过，为什么呢？没有人煮菜给你吃 没有人骂你，没有人扭你的耳朵。有点不自在...但骂得多我又不爽，怎么办?
PS：是朋友就不要通风报信。紧记！

常在心...你永远常在我心。
没有常在心的第四天。
我不应该在这么写下去了，就算我真的写到没有常在心的第一千零一天，一些事实还是不会改变的。不瞒你们，我作天非常高兴，因为我终于又见到她的笑容。我很高兴她终于肯笑了，或许我这么说有点白痴，但是这一笑，多多少少医好了我的心病。我不会在想太多了，一些不属于你的就别再勉强。宽恕和谅解是我这一次最大的受获。值得一提的是，有人还会珍惜我的真诚。 朋友送来的关怀，无论多微不足道，都已经深深地感动了我。从来没有人这么赞过我，我也不知道如何回应才对。有人说我感性，而且内心非常细腻。我听了不禁发抖，为什么呢？我不想这样的评语...太难为情了吧！你们不如说我perasan吧！！！ 一向我都给人一种乖乖仔的形象，太不公平了吧！我不想做乖仔，我宁愿做人们心目中的废才，那些平时得罪人多，称呼人少的那一类。举例子就有两个，nick和choon wei。不是说他们是废才，而是他们说的话有时很废，引人暴笑。他们俩也有认真和真诚的那一面，不是很容易被人看到。我真的很荣欣认识他们，没有他们的废话，生活太枯燥了吧！听他们一句废话，快乐似神仙。说实话做乖仔也有好处，如果做错的是我，但choon wei或yik lun在我身边。没有人会先怀疑我，我还可以利用我好好先生的形象来洗脱嫌疑。妙哉！妙哉！最经典的是一些人(例如siew lee)还信我设的圈套为真，令我有少许内疚。但看到他们出丑后的样子，挨几下皮肉之苦也无所谓了。现在这样唱衰我自己，形象一定大打折扣。以后我喊狼来了，没有人会救我了。没关系，我玩得起就当然要担当的起。担当不起的话，快快找替死鬼。

Priceless moments
Rank number 1. Getting a sex toy from me, jon, michelle and jia hui as birthday present. Happy horny 22nd birthday, Enoch...cheers its just banter. I still wont forget the moment you unfold your toy...priceless...
Rank number 2. Listening an old joke about Phua Chu Kang lecturing his nephew Alloycius (haha I don't know how to spell his name)about the birds and bees. Here goes...
Ah Boy: Uncle Chu Kang, why girls enjoy sex more than boys?
PCK: Its like digging your nose with your finger. You think your finger syok or your nose more syok?
Ah Boy: Then why guys hate to use condom while having sex?
PCK: Aiya, you like to wear a glove to dig your nose or not?
Ah Boy: Why girls don't have sex during their period?
PCK: Aiyo, when your nose bleeding you still want to dig it meh? Use ur blain!
Ah Boy: Why girls don't like to be raped?
PCK: When somebody on the street suddenly come stick a finger into your nose, you like it boh? Use your blain! Use your blain!
This is ranked number 2 because the 5 of us were laughing non-stop while walking back home at night and the whole street is only our laughter. Priceless again...
Rank number 3. Watching the girl you like smiling in front of you again after some tough shit that happened between you and her...priceless...
Rank number 4. Telling siew lee, michelle and some gullible people that it brings bad luck when your palm is bigger than your face. When they do actually believe it and put their palm near their face...smack!!! priceless again...
Rank number 5. Giving jin xuan, siew lee and co. a suitable english name. Dugong Ng, Bobo Chuah, Mango Loh, Mi Loh(milo) and many more deserves a mention. Seeing Durian Lew react when her name is called...priceless...
Rank number 6. Seeing the author get bashed for naming all these priceless moments above(if it ever happens)...I think it will rank number 1 in the popular vote.
Guys and gals, thats all for today...stay tuned for this master card sponsored event...more to come. The author getting an eyebag for writing this at 6am in the morning without sleeping the night before...priceless?
