Bosan........................

BOSAN...


Ya.... kenapa bosan? Itu yang bermain di kepala saya semalam.....


Ada seorang member cerita yang dia tengah bosan dengan hidupnya...


Bosan di mana?


Bosan dengan kerja, bosan dengan rumah, bosan dengan motor, bosan dengan makwe................


Kenapa bosan?


Mungkin kerana umur dah meningkat.........


Bagi saya, adalah kerana dia tak nampak apa yang dia ada dan sedang kecapi serta dia tak menghargai apa yang dia ada................................

Strange happenings..................

I've been travelling up and down to KL for the past few days. I woke up 5.30 in the morning and started my journey around 7 and I would reach my destination around 830... imagine that one hour 30 min from Klang to KL.


I always love to see sunrises and sunsets. I got to see both yesterday. Yesterday I saw a beautiful sunrise. The sun was all rounded and was in red and orange colour. It was huge and I felt like heading towards the sun. The same thing happened in the evening when I went to Puchong but this time I felt like I was running from it. It's too bad I can't take beautiful snaps of both the sunrise and sunset.


Anyway this is not the strange thing I want to tell... it's the fact that before reaching the junior Penang Bridge near Kelana Jaya, I saw a man zzzzzzzzzzz at the divider in the middle of the highway.. How in the world did he get there? How he can even zzzzzzzzzzzzz in the middle of the road? Was he dumped there? Why didn't a police standing near the area check on him? Interesting piece of puzzle...


How did my last night end? By witnessing an accident near the UITM bridge at Padang Jawa. A red car was totally wrecked.....

Interesting way to end the night

Mouse Hunter, Ghost Hunter... anyone?

Well, Mousehunter, Ghost Trapper, Bejewellled, Farm Town, Farmville, Barn Buddy, to name a few, are games which can be found in Facebook.


Personally I am into Mousehunter, Ghost Trapper, Bejewelled and Farm Town. They can be addictive.


Many people see them as games but I see them as something which can train my mind.


In Mousehunter and Ghost Trappers, i become the HUNTER, finding and building traps to capture Mouse and Ghost. U have to do research by reading and experience with traps. You have to capture certain amount of mouse and to prepare the traps always in It takes time and energy. It's very frustrated to wait to advance to the next level.

Lesson learnt: Patient is virtue.


Bejewelled is a game whereby you have to blow up the jewels in a group of 3s, 4s and 5s in a minute. Sounds simple? Yes it is but it's very hard to score high marks. If you wait and look for the combination you only be able to score low marks but if you let your mind free, trust your heart don't look for the combination, whoala... you will get high marks.

Lesson learnt: in life one cannot force the outcome one wants... even if it happens the way one intended to be, it does not provide the satisfaction one needs. Let the nature takes its course.... if it's intended to be this way, then let it be. Otherwise one would be drown in one's desire and thus sow the seeds of sorrow, jealousy and misery.


As for Farm Town...

it's just only a game............HAHAHAHA

No matter what.................

Boyzone - no matter what

No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true

No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back

I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know our love forever
I know, no matter what

If only tears were laughter (ooh)
If only night was day (ooh)
If only prayers were answered (hear my prayers)
Then we would hear God say (say)

No matter what they tell you (ooh)
No matter what they do (ooh)
No matter what they teach you
What we believe is true

And I will keep you safe and strong
And shelter from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born

No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need

No matter if the sun don't shine (sun don't shine)
Or if the skies are blue (skies are blue)
No matter what the end is
My life began with you

I can't deny what I believe (what I believe, yeah)
I can't be what I'm not
(I know, I know) I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what

No matter what (no, no matter, no)

No, no matter
That's all that matters to me


I would never grow tired listening to this song. Sometimes, it can bring tears to my eyes..... The lyrics of this song are so moving and powerful.....

Many people would treat this as a love song.... how wonderful it is to fall in love or for having a best friend around. For me, it is totally different. This song represent what I have lost or what I have not gained.

This song tells of a person who would be right at your side come shine or rain. This person would never abandon you nor leave you alone.

It would be nice to have such a person actually alive. For me, this person doesn't exist... it's just a imaginary figure we conjure up to make our life on earth pleasant, hopeful and able to dream on.

For me, this is a real Sad Sad Sad song.............................. but still it's enjoyable to listen to it.





Why can't I win a fight

1. I am not a person who luv to pick up a verbal fight and fight

2. I am a tolerant person

3. I am not a bully

4. I am easily forgive people

5. A fight made me feel uneasy

6. I am not outspoken

7. I don't like to fight

8. I run away from a fight

9. I don't like to complain openly

10. I rather back out from a fight


10 reasons why i can't win a fight

And I have come to the conclusion......

2 months back, I had the urge of looking up my old old frens, see where there are, what they are doing and updating my knowledge on them.


It started out innocently in the Facebook and whola... the list starts to grow.


2 incidents happened today made me wonder should I stop or should I continue my quest.

I found a very old friend last night and today I contacted him via sms... the reply I got was this, he wished to have no contact with persons whom he has not contacted for so long as he is afraid that I am trying to sell things him.

Another one would be that I am innocently blamed or seriously blamed for starting the quest of looking up old frens, it's like stirring the hornet's nest. I am not sure whether I am being blamed for the things happening now.

Thirdly, when I called up some of my old frens, they gave me cold shoulder which is rather not supporting. Can't blame them, maybe they are busy or have forgotten about me or juz don't want to have link with the past.


Yes I have enjoyed some their company. I truly do.


This bring me back to the question, should I continue my quest of searching old friends or should I stop.
It's a tiring process and I wonder....what would I get out of this.......

Any my conclusion is ...... as sad as it is .......................


I think i should STOP........

Reunion time

I thought I won't be joining my old friends last night but I manage to.....after my tai chi class. My sifu commented on my interest in tai chi. HAPPY about that.

Anyway, after my tai chi, straight went to papa rich to meet them... Yup, they are still there..
Wai Sie and Casey. Later we were joined by Karyn and Wai Fong...

It's happy to see Karyn and Wai Fong giggled like young girls although we are way past that stage.


A gathering of old frens....

Tonight, there will be a gathering of old friends from school. Impromptu gathering with no notice at all. The persons attending would be WS, CC, WF and CP. The gathering is at WF's house.

It all started off with WF telling that she has hurt her leg thus she's not working today. Then WS wanted to visit her and then I asked WS to ask CC to tag along. Next, WF asked CP to join. It so simple and there's no need to give an early notice.

The sad thing is that I won't be able to join them tonight as I have other things to do. Even though they voluntereed to wait until 9 something but I don't think they would knowing that tonight is a working day. Too bad I can't join them.

Sometimes it's hard to be me.. got attachments....

Anyway if they happen to read this.... enjoy yourselves...........

Life is a cruel joke................

At this juncture... I feel like life is a cruel joke...


Just when you are down and out, you manage to find old friends and start to enjoy an old friendships...


But just when I want to meet them..... there would be many obstacles I have to go through..


Thus I wonder.... what's the hidden lesson I have to learn????

Wei Wei Wei.... What Should I Blog???

This morning, WS asked me... why haven't you update your blog?????


I know she is going to ask me this question and I have my answers ready for her.

Answer 1: I am too busy.
Answer 2: I have writer's block.
Answer 3: I am lazy.


The truth is I have nothing to write........... So, she asked me to write about her.

She said that I would not write about her because either I have nothing to write about her or I would throw up blood because of writing about her.


Well, whether I would throw up blood or not, that remains to be seen.


Here goes..... ok... what is there to write about her..... could it be this one.....nope.... that one..... nope.... aaah.... must be this one...... AIYOYO.........OOOOOOPssssssssss...............


Hey.....


I know WS since we were kids or in true sense, she knew me since we were kids, to be specific in primary schools.. HAHAHA I can't remember much about my days in primary schools let alone my school mates. She said, we were in the same class. I still can't remember. I suppose I have to dig through the tons of photos just to make sure....(ooops...lazy to do so).


And so, after graduating from SK Pudu 1, KL, we went on to SMK (P) Pudu. I remembered I studied in Form 1A, Form 2B and Form 3P3 (see how I went from A class to C class) but I can't remember her...... (pls don't get angry with me ya....:=)


The clearest memory I have of her would be in Form 4 and Form 5 because we were in the same class... the dreaded Science class. However, at that time, if my memory serves me well, she was close with CC. During that time, she was in Marywood, I was in Sprenger. (They are the houses for the purpose of sports activities). Marywood and Sprenger are always fighting for the wins so we were not that close.


When did we become close? When we grouped together to write as pen pals. That was the time when we sat down and think what to write as pen pals.


What is she like? The first thing that strike me is that she is an outspoken person... speak first, think later. She always help her friends a lot... Although she's outspoken, she has a lot of friends.


Sadly to say, after saying goodbyes to Form5, we went separate ways....


She went into Form 6 and I went to college.


Deep down inside my heart, I always envy her because she's brave, she's outspoken and she is independent. People would easily get close with her. Even though at times I would be ticked off by her outspokenness but after awhile I would forget about it. For me, she's a part of my past and now my present.


We didn't see each other for many many years. If not for an encounter in Facebook, I would not have chat with her everyday for the last 2 months.....


OOOI... WS... if you read this...... I didn't puke blood....... I didn't have mental block here.... and most importantly... I was at the shallowest point of my life when I found you in Facebook. I would not have easily survive these 2 months without you being here. Thank You for being my fren and Luv U.....

Hans

I received a notice saying a friends of mine, Hans has just posted on my FB. It's quite strange coz he never does this before.


Hans is a guy I knew who are based in Langkawi. He's a charming guy, very down to earth type and always around when one needs him. The only thing I don't like about him is that he can never tell what are his needs or his intentions in clear terms.


I have to guess and guess what is his real intention, his dreams, his aspirations, his pains and his grief. Things like guessing games can really get into my nerves sometimes especially when I'm in a BAD BAD mood. He did that again last nite. I knew he is going through a rough patch in life. He would drop hints here and there but when I confronted him, he would shy away. This really make me MAD. Mad not because he did this but he made me worried....


Ooi.. if you happen to read this, FREN, what actually is going on with you????

Friends........what are they?

When i was small, i would read about friends.. how good to have friends.. they are suppose to be good to you. I can still remember quotes.. roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet but not as sweet as you, we'll always be good friends, friends will be there when u need them, a friend in need is a friend indeed etc.


I used to think friends are like that..... until I learned from my years of gathering experiences that they are not like that.


There are many categories of friends. What are friends? Are they the one who would share your happiness and sadness? Are they the one who would be there for you come shine or rain? Are they the one who would spit and spat on you while at the same be the one who shared your joy and happiness?


In my lifetime, I have encountered many 'friends' but to have a true friend, it is easier said than done.


For me a true friend, is the one probably you don't like but ....
would always be your cushion when you fall,
be your mirror when you're at fault,
be your tissue when you cried, be your ears when you want to talk,
be your mouth when you can't talk
and
would always reside in your heart even after so many years have gone by.



As WS said, a friendship needs to be built.


For me, a friendship is like a seed, needs to be sow, nurtured, watered and protected come rain or shine. Whether it turn out to be bad or good would depend on how you nurture, water and protect it.


A friendship which can withstand the test of time and trials can be termed a friendship. It's like a diamond.. when it is harvested, it's not of much value. Only when it is cut and polished, it will become the prized diamond.


I may or may not be lucky to have this kind of friendship but at least I can say I have tried.

Death Death Death

This week is fulled of news of death either in actual life or in tv shows.


Teoh Beng Hock a young chap died mysteriously while being held by MACC and in tv shows, Kutner a character from House killed himself.


Both are successful young persons who have died young. Both have rendered their services unconditionally to the public. Both died unnaturally.


I don't know Teoh Beng Hock, I came to know about him because he was in the news.....


As for Kutner, I knew his character inside out coz I folllowed House. He was a funny guy, a friend and would never give up easily. I can easily relate to this guy as somehow he was a lot like me. The sad thing is that nobody knows that he was going to kill himself. Everyone saw him doing a lot of things but not that.


Both families and friends never saw their death, never expected them to die so early.


Just now, I took a quiz of when will I die. It answered Oct 20th, 2025.. another 16 more years. Still, one might never know, the minute I log off I might be killed by a fallen hammer or a fallen pot, have a heart attack or met with an accident. Thus, I have to learn to live my life fully, never take things for granted for I know the clock is tickling counting down.

A feeling of despair....

I just came back from Sentral, fetching my relatives from far away.


While I was waiting for them, I stopped by KFC, bought myself coke, nuggets and fries and sat own watching people passing by. I felt a sense of despair and sadness overwhelmed me. Maybe because of Teoh Beng Hock's funeral today or the feelings were from the surrounding situations.


I have the ability to sense something unusual or abnormal at any area. Maybe there was something there at Sentral which is trying to tell me something. The feelings of sadness were so strong that I have to pull myself away from there and started walking around, waiting for the arrival of the train.


Anyway, I did not have to wait long. Immediately I left Sentral before the feelings overwhelmed me again. Normally, I don't have this kind of feeling if I were in Sentral at daytime but when I am in Sentral at night... I would feel very uneasy....


As for Teoh Beng Hock, may he RIP. It's very unfair for him to die early.


Namoamitofu

Oh... I want to be like that person

Last week, I had a visit from 3 old friends. It's VERY NICE of them to come down all the way from Semenyih, Desa Hartamas and Cheras to visit me in Klang.


One of the them is one hell of a lady, with an established name in the entertainment industry.



My colleague is intrigued with this lady. He wants to be like her, successful in her own right, some more a moderate rich lady. If I said rich, she's going to give me a lecture on all the financial burdens she has to carry.


Anyway, I told my friend, her success doesn't come easy. It's not a overnight success. She has to work hard and sacrifice a lot to become what she is today.


In life, there's nothing come instantly and cheap. One has to work hard, harder than before to achieve something in life. That's what differentiate the successful one from the one who would admire the successful person from the far. Nothing would come if one should just sit down and wishing to be successful. For all you might know, the next hour would be your last day on earth.

What does birthday mean?

According to the Chinese calendar, today in my birthday. As a Chinese, I got to celebrate birthday twice a year.


A birthday is one where celebrates the day when a new life has begun. Some would consider this day to be a day to be thankful and to be joyful that he was born to this world. Others would think of this day to be a starting of a journey of life full of remorse, grief and hate.


As for me, I don't know what I think but almost all the time I don't find any valid reason to celebrate my birthday.


A birthday is also a day of changes for new things to come to replace the old things. This belief I hold true. There would always be changes on the day of my birthdays whether it is good or bad, positive or negative. Somehow I can't remember the changes that happened on my birthday.


Well, for this year, a significant change happened on my birthday would be that , on this day, my parents have shifted to JB to enjoy their retirements. I should be happy for them ....


I was born in a family of three. I grew up with no brothers and sisters. I was always alone in whatever I do. I have no one to talk to. My parents are typical parents who would work from day until night juz to keep the food on the table, thus they seldom spend time with me. That's why as an adult, I would always keep my feelings hidden or keep deep deep deep down inside my heart. It's very hard for me to share my pains with anyone. Thus out of 10 birthdays, 8 birthdays I would be on my own.


I was still alone during my days in secondary school. I was the odd one out. After my SRP, now PMR, I was given a choice of going into Commerce or Science Class. I did not know how to choose so I followed the crowd... Science because it was the THE thing to do at that time. In the Science stream, I was 'kicked' between Sc 1 and Sc 2. It seemed that I was not too good for Sc1, so the teacher transferred me to Sc 2 but the Sc2 form teacher felt that I was too good to be there, so she kicked me back to Sc1.


In Sc1, I was the odd one out. There were 2 groups in my class. There was a group of geeks, the ones who would aim As and would always excel in their studies and their extra curricular activities. There was another group which I describe to be socially active. I belong to neither. I was also the chubby one in the class... can never excel in Sports
I didn't like Maths so I did badly in Maths. Even a teacher who taught Maths said to me, I would not be able to pass my SPM. In class, I would sit by the door looking outward always day dreaming. I was not active, always sitting at the back of the class, always the hidden one. I remembered when I can't answer questions in Chemistry, I would copy from my classmates.
My Science teachers would always hold extra class during the school holidays. For the others there would be holidays for them. As for me, it would be never ending classes. I really hated my time then and I felt miserable all the times. I felt like a robot back then.. never failed to turn up to schools even though it was raining dogs and cats on that day. I never knew what I wanted back then. I just followed orders. In short, I was the invisible one in school... However, all is not bad as towards the end 2 persons asked me to join them in getting know friends through penpal. Yes, I did enjoyed that time, even had a few laughs. However, when I moved out of KL, I've lost contact with them.


I envy my other classmates who have their own close friends, who shared and still share their interests, dreams, happiness and pains. As for me, again I am alone on this birthday.

Housewife - a scary word

Scary stuffs, I tell you. Like a horror movie, slowly unfolding…..layer by layer….

If I am not careful, soon I will walk around like a zombie. When the house sucks the life out of me, that will be the day when the world ends….

Since I was small, I never have visions of playing housewife nor do I like to play masak-masak. The only reason I played with my neighbour was because we get to build real fire and boiling all those herbs we picked from the kampung. So, it was more playing with fire than playing housewife, cooking, you know?

There was one time when after playing, I scrambled home, leaving the mess for my neighbour to clear. Since then, she refused to play with me anymore.

Hey, I wasn’t cut out to clean houses, you know? I will become a deranged woman, a bad mother and a nagging wife if I have to do it from dawn to dusk. I can then kiss goodbye to my 60 pairs of earrings, truckloads of make-up and my nail polishes. Earrings are my passion so I think I will buy myself a few more pairs to overcome this nightmare of being sucked into the house, minus the life.

Thank God my hubby can afford a part-time helper who is more like a sister to me. (she is hubby’s niece, btw) She has been coming to my house 2-3 times a week for the last 14 years, I think. Back then, I was a full-time working mom. Then, when I stopped working, she continues.

Scary stuffs. This housewife thing. It will slowly enveloped me and turn me into a one-dimensional person. Like those bunch at the little vegetable stall. I met a couple of them zombies this morning. All they talk is where to find the best tuition centre. And the bunch I met the other day at the hair salon is also ‘where to find the best tuition centre’. Niamah, got no other life than talking about children issit? I see my children everyday, the last I want to talk about is how they are doing in school, which subject they are weak at yadda yadda yadda. I’d rather talk to myself through my own blog, thank you very much.

And I forget to mention. There is no wrath like a housewife scorned. The other day, my neighbour on the first floor wrecked her glass window panes, her husband’s car, threw all his stuffs down to the ground floor from the window and according to my #13 years old son, she even whacked the husband with a mop handle at the car park. He witnessed it because he was coming back from school. I didn’t go out and video the thing eventhough I was very, very tempted. I was too lazy to put on a bra, you see.

Aiks! It is 11.44 am. Time to run and pick the little boy from kindie!

Housewife. Scary word.

The above story is from http://www.chanlilian.net/2009/03/05/how-the-house-sucks-the-life-out-of-the-wife/

She has sum out nicely about what I felt about housewife.

It's not that I anti them.... NOPE.. I respect them but I cannot be like one of them... NEVER

So, to those frens of mine (CW etc) who are full timed housewife.... KUDOS to u all

What would people remember me as ....

Two of my friends, WS and CW mentioned to one another that I am a joker coz I can make people laugh easily. The other day, I participated in a survey and found out that I was a healer in my past life. Others would remembered me as a too kind of person who would always help people, others would consider me as a stubborn.


As for me, I can't describe myself for I consider myself as a chameleon who always change with time. I am a joker just to hide the turbulence feelings and problems I'm facing. As they always say.. don't cry out loud, keep it hidden.


I am a too kind of a person as I can't be unkind...


But most of the other times, I would fade into background and nobody would notice me.


So, when I die, would I be remembered?


Hahaha.. the sanghata sutra said let not one be attached so as not to be born for when one is born, one would live the birth, living and death over and over again. One would relive the loss of parents, brothers, sisters, children, relatives and companions over and over again.


I wonder would I have the strength to follow the wisdom of Sanghata sutra.

Would u eat this....?

This morning, I got a chance to see the documentary on Malaysian Food. It introduced this dish.
The still living worms are thrown into a wok of hot oil to fry them. One can see that they are wriggling in pain for a short time before they become lifeless.


Imagine if you are the worm and is thrown into the hot oil... how would you feel?


I don't mind eating fried chicken or fish as they are already dead before they are thrown into the hot oil but this is too much. Have you tried frying fish and got burnt by the oil? Just imagine the worms must have felt.


Namoamitofu

Never Enough Nellies

Never Enough Nellies: You can never give enough to these people to make them happy. They take you for granted and have unrealistic expectations of you. They find ways to continually fault you and never take responsibility for anything themselves.


Why they are toxic: You will spend so much time trying to please them, that you will end up losing yourself in the process. They will require all of your time and energy, leaving you worn out and your own needs sacrificed.


Well, I found one amongst my colleagues.....


No matter what I do, that person would always find fault with me or raise voice at me or blamed the whole wrong doing on me like that person would never do wrong.


I felt very tired facing this kind of person. It made me want to punch the person's face or take a knife to stab the person's heart.


Still, I manage to calm down and walk away.. coz there's no point in doing so.... waste of time and energy


Namoamitofu

Tai Chi and meditation

Yesterday was my second class in tai chi..


Still a novice and I find that I cannot grasp the steps as fast as I wanted to be...


Anyway before I came to class yesterday, I did extensive research on tai chi and I found one interesting fact which is tai chi can be used to meditate.


Thus, I tested out this 'meditation' technique and I found out that it turned out to be true. I did a full concentration when doing the initial steps of tai chi. I completely in tuned with my mind. My mind was calm and relax.


I don't think I would stop learning tai chi although it is tough.


Namoamitofu

When the situation arises, who shall u depend on??

Definitely the person to depend would be oneself... then only u will learn how to become independent...


My friend, Christine C, mentioned that WS, CC and I are independent people and how she envied us for being so independent.


Actually, deep down in my heart, i do envy CC. She's much more independent than


Yes, I do a lot of traveling alone, manage a team alone and finish my projects with the least help but if you would have seen me a few years back.. I am so dependent on other people to get my life going. There's a point in that time I would say to myself.. ooi... what's the point of living when I have to depend on other people to get my life going. I have my license but I cannot drive. I want to go traveling but scared of getting out from the house.


I remember when I was force to buy my first car. It was a second hand red kancil and the plate number is wfj 3307. I dared not to drive it home although it is just a few minutes away. I had to get somebody to drive it for me. I used that car to travel from my office to my house which is just a few minutes away. If I want to travel elsewhere, someone else would chauffer me.


I can't remember when I became independent. Today, even though, people may say I am independent, in reality I am not. I am still dependent to someone else. It's not easy to be independent, it takes a lot of responsibilities and risks.


Still, I am taking small steps into the time when I will be totally INDEPENDENT.

12th July 2009 - A day in Tanjung Sepat

I had the urge to go to Tanjung Sepat today. So off I went with my family to Tanjung Sepat. This time I used the Seremban Highway, exit at KLIA interchange. From there, turn towards LCCT. Upon reaching Sepang F1 course, turn left at the traffic light and go straight. Upon reaching a junction, turn right heading towards Sepang.


The road to Sepang is winding and if you travel alone at night, you will feel the chills and all the stories of ghosts hauntings will come back to haunt you. Before reaching Sepang, you will have to pass a cemetary. Once reaching Sepang town, one just have to follow the signboard saying to Bagan Lalang.


After Sepang, you will have to pass Sg Pelek, a sleepy town before reaching Bagan Lalang. Along the way, we saw a lot of dragon fruits farm. I've never seen a dragon fruit which was so big and so red and its meats were purple and juicy.


Before reaching Tanjung Sepat, we passed by Bagan Lalang. Upon reaching Tanjung Sepat, we went to see how the chips are made. After that, we had our lunch in Baywatch Tanjung Sepat which was introduced by Astro.


These were what we had

Fried ong choy... a tasty food... luv it










Fried squid. I love fried squid but this one is not my favourite.....










Butter prawns... BEST









Steamed lalas










My favourite fish....












Nothing is left... and the bill was RM 83.00... quite cheap considering the food we had.


After serviced our stomach, we went to Lorong 5 to get our famous buns.. alas... there's none as all have been sold out.



Next stop.. Soon Beng Longan Farm..to taste the longans. We couldn't get our hands on longans as they were sold out.. Still I managed to snap some photos.









Since the day was still early, off we went to Jenjarum to see the Fa Guang San. My parents have never been there before.


We were lucky to catch a glimpse of the Buddha' s relic. I have never seen one before. I didn't take any photo as it is not allowed.


However, I manged to snap a few photos of the compound




















A visit to Fo Guang Shan in Jenjarom ended our one day trip to Tanjung Sepat

Friday, 10th 2009

I had an urge yesterday. After chatting with Karyn, felt like learning tai chi....hence that evening, after having my dinner.. i went off to Puchong to learn tai chi. At the bridge near the junction to UITM, I saw a beautiful sunset. It was orange in colour. There were a lot of heavy clouds.. oooohhh... very beautiful... one in a million.


Another beautiful scenery I had seen last night would be the one at the Bdr Puteri 12 where one can see the whole Puchong and its surrounding area's night scene. As beautiful as it is, it still can't beat the beauty of the nature.


As for my encounter with Karyn... we're like a bunch of giggling young girls... laughing all the way while the rest concentrate on learning.... hahahaha

Ghosts.....

Many people have asked me have u really seen a GHOST? Now that we're approaching the hungry ghost month, this subject has been raised again....


The answer is YES.


It started when I was small and I saw a little girl in an emergency staircase and when I stared at her, she just ..pooof... vanished. That was my 1st experience with a ghost.


The next one I remembered clearly is that time after the few days after the fall Highland Tower. I was vacationing with my family in Genting Highland. I had the flu and I insisted on going... aiya... family from the far gathered. We stayed in Ria Apartment, famous with ghost sightings. During our stay there, suppose something went bump in the night but I wasn't aware about it as I had taken medications thus I slept soundly throughout the night. What happened to me was, during the second last night, while I was watching the news on the report of the Highland Tower, I heard voices like someone having a party outside. I got curious and I went and look through the peep hole and I saw nothing. I shrugged and I went back watching the news and the voices started again. This time, I opened the door and there was nothing. Interesting... Still I closed the door and went back watching... the voices continue. I remembered said to myself... let them party...


The next incident happened in Pangkor. There was a motivation camp in Pangkor and we went early to check out the place. It was crazy when the owner of the campsite asked us to check it out at that time and that time was sometime around midnight. So off we went, the 8 of us, to the camp site near the woods. While checking out the place, I saw a white covered figure standing below a banana tree observing what we were doing. I said... *&^$, it is here and my friend said... let it be... I didn't know what they called that figure but now I know, it is called Pocong.


Another incident also happened in Pangkor whereby I saw two figures dressed in yellow tshirt, stood at the entrance to the campsite. I asked my friend who was sitting next to me whether she saw them...she said nope. I said to myself... juz nice. The best thing is that it happened in broad daylight.


Next incident is where I was slapped from behind, I turned around to see that there was no one behind. The incident happened near Masjid Jamek KL. Another time when I was slapped by nobody was in Ipoh.


Normally, in my line of work, I got to travel and stay in many hotels. There are many incidents happened involving me but the one that really caught my attention is the pulling of my blankets from the bottom of my legs. I was sleeping and this thing was pulling the blanket away from me. I had to pull it back and it would pull down again. I got so fed up, I wrapped the blanket around my body. My friends who were staying in the same room said that they saw something in white color creeping at the top wall above our beds... NICE. Oh.. the hotel is in Ayer Keroh, Melaka


Another one involving hotels would be the one in Langkawi. I stayed there early of the year. It was a quiet season and I was staying at the top floor. There was a huge window facing the bed. Outside the window there was a tree. For 2 nights, I can see out of the corner of my eye, there was something in white color perking at one of the branches observing what I was doing. While, at least it accompanied me for 2 nights as I went to langkawi alone at that time.


I would never fall ill after the sightings except for this one incident happened in a school in KL in broad daylight. I was walking down the staircase..I hear noise, so I gave way to the person who were rushing down from upstair. Out of the corner of the eyes, I can see only a pair of white shoes and white legs. When the person has passed me, I looked up to see who the person was and ... whoala... nobody. The person has vanished. Immediately, the day after the incident, I fell ill.


I always wonder why the ghosts are always in white. Once I asked my friend, why we have pocong, where do they come from. He explained that when a muslim died, before he's buried, the caretaker of the grave must untie the rope and loosen the white cloth covering the face for if it is not done, the deceased would become pocong. Come to think of it, in the ghost movies, we always see a pocong with a face... Interesting don't u think....


However, I do believe, if I don't disturb them, then, they don't disturb me...............

Smile - Michael Jackson

This song was sung by Jermaine Jackson at the MJ Memorial on 8/7/2009. The song is written by Charlie Chaplin. In this video, the song is by MJ








Here are the lyrics for that song



Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile with your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

that's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile


"A day without a laugh is a wasted day." - Charles Chaplin



Hopefully it would work for me.

Crazy Things I Felt I've done - Part 1

Last night I had a chat with 4 friends of mine, namely Waisie, Waifong and Casey. We talked a lot ranging from the things we did in the old things but never the things we are going to do.


Anyway, Waifong was taken aback by a trip I had to Melaka for the purpose to see turtles. She said it was a crazy thing to do at that time.


This morning while I was sitting in the car, my mind went searching for other crazy things that I did in the past and this is one of them.


I love to travel and I would create a lot of reasons so I got to travel. I love to travel by flight as I love the feeling when the plane is taking off. It's like I'm leaving all my problems behind temporarily.


I got to do this twice in a day last February. I had to go to Langkawi to secure business(s). I didn't want to stay overnight as it would be over the budget. Thus at the spur of the moment, I made the decision to go over that place the day after which I did.


I bought the earliest flight which is around 8 in the morning to Langkawi and the last flight of the day (around 10 in the evening) back to KL which was the cheapest.


I woke up around 4.00 in the morning, got myself ready and by 5 am off to LCCT to catch the flight. I drove to the airport and left my car there. I don't want to use cabs because it would be expensive. The round trip would cost me around RM 150.


By 6 something in the morning, I was in the airport. checked myself in and had my expensive nasi lemak there. By 8 something, I boarded my flight. It was uncomfortable as there were a few overexcited passengers who would be laughing, teasing and talking loudly throughout the flight if not for one passenger who reprimand them.


Anyway by 9 something, I landed in Langkawi and went on my business. In the afternoon, I looked yo my friends in Langkawi and by 9 I was in the airport waiting for my flight. I was dismayed when I found out my flight was delayed for more than an hour.


There was an incident involving a passenger and the custom officer. He was pissed off with the attitude of the officer and he made a big deal out of it by creating a scene at the clearance entrance. Well, he was taken into another place and after awhile he was released.


Finally I boarded the flight at midnight. In the flight, the same person who created the scene and his friends applauded the stewardess for explaining the safety measures. I'm sure the stewardess were happy about it. The night view of Langkawi and Kuala Lumpur are by all means beautiful with all the glittering neon lights just like viewing fireflies in Kampung Kuantan.


I reached KL at 1 in the morning, got into my car, drove back. I reached home around 3 after I had my roti canai at the mamak store.


Before everyone said I was brave to travel alone..... nope I traveled with my colleague. it's crazy to travel alone like this. By the time I reached KL, I was so tired to drive back.

Old classmates=old frens

I had the urged to write about this today.


A month ago, out of one urge, i registered with facebook just to find a friend by the name of Yoke Teng and Julia. Sadly to say, I couldn't find them and yet managed to find an old friend, Waisie. From her, I found the others like Casey, Seto, Wee, Chok, Alison, Low, Catherine, Alice, Karyn, Karen, Nikki, Wong, Mimi and many many more.


We talked and talked and talked especially with waisie. Our conversation would normally be based on the things that happened all throughout the years..


One thing strike me is that whenever we were young and still schooling, i was not close with them. Low, Catherine, Min Min, Mee Mee & Mimi were As students. It's scary to talk to them as I was an average student back then.


Waisie and Casey were the talkative one. I am not.


Angela and Alison were and still are the prettier one.. I'm not.


Hence, I'm the invisible one in the class. Honestly speaking, I didn't really enjoy my schooling days.


Now thanks to internet and especially facebook, we're more opened, have grown and have matured and we're much more closer than before.


Luv u all gals.


My English is bad.. but this is ....

Gals night out.

Yes.. yes... finally there's a all gals night event for me...


In this case, I have the opportunity to meet up with Mee Mee, my long lost class mate..(now longer lost tanz to Facebook).


So, on Friday, July 3rd 2009, off I went to Old Town Cafe, in Cheras to meet up with her, Wai Sie and Casey. As usual, I would be late as I am always caught in the jam ...However, I was lucky as there are others who are late than me.


Anyway, Wai Sie was the first to arrive, followed by me, then Mee Mee (straight from a holiday in Cameron Highlands) and last to arrive, Casey (from a stint in Port Dickson).


Mee Mee is an accountant, working nearby Berjaya Times Square. Wai Sie is having a business dealing with printing and Casey is into entertainment line.


It's too bad that Christina Wee, Catherine, Christine Chok, Seto and the others can't make it.


Well, when old frens meet the topics would always be the happenings in the past. Mee Mee didn't age much and still single. I didn't know she's a singer. In the past, I didn't mingle with her as she's a bookworm always aiming for As. As for me... I'm the average student.. sometimes falling below average. That's what happened when u r in the best class in the form. I always didn't know about the existed rivalry between her and the other fren, how she was a bookworm and how she ticked of the teachers.


As for Wai Sie, didn't know she skipped class every Wednesday coz she didn't like physics. As for Casey... that would ...another story.


Anyway.. I really enjoyed our meeting. It's like the seratonin for the brain.. a boost in somewhat bad season.. a rainbow in a rainy season.


Looking forward for another session... with the rest of the bunch.
