This happen in one afternoon in a mamak restaurant during i enjoyed my lunch alone. A malay man suddenly came near me and ask, "Are these sit vacant?". Since the restaurant are crowded with an hungry people, so i just offer the man sit near me and I'd continue my businesses. Just after i finished my meal and pull my cigarette out, the man asked me about where do i from? The man are trying to start a small conversation for acquaintance maybe In my thought. So i answered the man with my moderate malay's slang "I dari ko-Lumpo". so the conversation was on.

The man: "I, sebenarnya baru je balik dari sabah"

Me: "Oh, iyer ker?"

The man: "Iyer, baru jer sampai semalam. You penah gi sabah ker?"

Me: "Tak..."

The man: "kalau you ader rezeki coba leer melancong kat sabah, sabah best!"

Me: "Nanti la bila ader rezeki"

The man: "Sabah memang best giler. I sempat gi melawat kat Bukit Bendera, gi Kundasang, mandi hot spring, banyak jugak tempat yang best best"

Me: "Iyer ker"... I act surprised kenen laa...

The man: "Iyeeeeeeeer... awek sabah pun cun cun. I sempat gi pasar Kota Kinabalu, banyak giler awek-awek cun sabah berjual kat pasar. eeerm..tapi memang best laa. Lain kali I nak gi melancong kat sabah lagi"

Me: "Oooow!"...I act surprised lagi kenen...

The man: "Ader sekali tue I gi lepak tepi pantai.... mak aih, memang lawa giler awek sabah?"

Me: "You tak berkenalan ker ngan awek-awek cun sane?"

The man: "Ramai gak tapi sume jual mahal"

It's been awhile i didn't sit and update anything in my blog. It was a very miserable day I had for this past few month. So many thing happen which i can't explain. All i can say is, some of it really makes me laugh and some turn me upside down. Life? I'm still kicking i guess but only my weekly activities like hiking, camping, exploring, photo shooting, outing, hanging, etc, etc, etc fade little by little due to my office load. Most of my time spend in the office trying to settle THE UNFINISHED business. I pushed my self to the max with aim to clear everything before end of November so i can have a sweet holiday by end of this year without any interruption from my office. Planning to have 3 week vacation back to my home town.. Road trip around sabah should be great like i did last year.

I also had a friend and it a SHE who ran together with my money and gives me a thousand reasons. You came back from your hiding and promised to pay me then you RAN again. Never mind coz i logged a police report against you already. My deal will still remains. Just after you return my money then I'll return your stuff and pull back my report. For now, my only wish is hoping the police get you before i did.

Wokey then, got to go now.

When People In LOVE...

2009-05-28T19:39:00.005+08:00

Feel bored here in my office then my mind like flying tried to figure out what should I do or what might happen next. Then during my day dreaming suddenly my thought was thinking bout those people which really busy in LOVE MODE. I'm not trying to tease anybody here. Just as a fiction and a lil bit of scientific prove of the process flaw which will happen to anybody include me. I felt funny coz I ever experienced it my self once and still thought it was the funniest part in my life.

The process of falling in love is curiously quite complex. Every love passes through a few stages. Lust is only a passive phenomenon and is just a craving in the relationship. Attraction on the other hand is one of a hell blinding sensation plus when romantic passion comes into action, they often lose their ability to think rationally.  Everything just seems so right, perfect and nothing can't stop you from doing anything unless the other half says so. Like the old saying "LOVE IS BLIND" and it's really true where sometime a smelly fart can be smell like an expensive perfumes. "...woooowwieeeee.. apa yang bau wangi nie dear?ko masak ka?". Then they are often oblivious to any flaws in their partner might have. "...eheh..ko putung rambut kan love?". They idealize to each other and can't get them off their minds. "hmmmm..makan nda basah, mandi nda kenyang merindukan dikau" ...hahaha. The overwhelming preoccupation and drive is part of our biology to get Obsessive Compulsive Disorders where caused by low level of "SEROTONIN" in blood. Can't really blame our existence as human.

The attachment or so called commitment stage is LOVE for the duration. They passed the fantasy thingy and are ready to entering the TRUE LOVE MODE. In this stage has to be strong enough to withstand many problems and distractions. Maybe It's a lil uncomfortable for some people where they can't do their ordinary life such; go watch Barcelona(2) Vs. (0)Manchester Utd. with their pals, can't shopping and spend more than RM100, no party, no BBQ, no this, no that, bla... bla... etc... etc...  (NOTE: NOT applicable to ALL COUPLE).

Hard to explain when two people in love is similar to drug addiction, compulsive disorders and other mental problems. Scientifically, the Dopamine is thought to be the "pleasure chemical," will  produced a feeling of bliss. When high levels of dopamine which associated with the "Norepinephrine", which heightens attention, short-term memory, hyperactivity, sleeplessness and goal-oriented behavior. In other words, couples in this stage of love focus intently on the relationship and often on little else. "Norepinephrine" is similar to adrenaline and produces the racing heart and excitement. The human body releases the cocktail of love rapture only when certain conditions are met and men more readily produce it than women, because of their more visual nature.

So no offence my dear reader. I only killing my time by typing something i fell funny about. To my brother and sister who busy in LOVE SANSATION. Keep on loving your other half and  last but not least "PEACE MAY BE WITH YOU".

I've bee given an opportunity to help as an photographer in the Sugandoi competition and the Unduk Ngadau Selection organized by the KDCA Klang Valley. I'm doing it for fun actually but turn up to cover the whole day from 10am to mid night. Spending more than 12 hour but it was really a great experience.

To be honest, it is my 1st experience to work as photographer for such event. The organizer instruct me to take a portrait and full view of the Unduk Ngadau finalist. When I'm on the photoshoot session, I laughed where i feel funny with the respond i get from the finalist. Most of them were totally natural and even more like a modeling but few which i have to polish a lil bit. Well, that what we call a challenge right? I'm in the learning process anyway and I'm trying the very best to produce an excellent result for these finalist. Thanks again to KDCA Klang Valley for the chance given.

So here i would love to share with you a little view from my lenses.

SUGANDOI KLANG VALLEY 2009

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids)

2009-04-16T23:52:00.000+08:00

(1) You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
- Alan, age 10

(2) No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
- Kristen, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

(1) Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
- Camille, age 10

(2) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
- Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

(1) You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
- Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

(1) Both don't want any more kids.
- Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

(1) Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)

(2) On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
- Martin, age 10 (Who said boys do not have brains)

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

(1) I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

(1) When they're rich.
- Pam, age 7 (I could not have said it better myself)

(2) The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
- Curt, age 7 (Good Point)

(3 ) The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
- Howard, age 8 (Who made that rule?)

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

(1 ) I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out.
- Theodore, age 8 (Too much detail for his age)

(2 ) It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

(1 ) There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
- Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favourite is........

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

(1 ) Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
- Ricky, age 10 ( The boy already understands)

I had a great moment goin hiking wef two of my friend Atat n Geaff to Broga Hill, Semenyih for the sunrise. It's Not my first time but the feeling was really pumping me not like during the 1st time. Last time was a lil bit clauddy so i couldn't have a quality view. My second visit was a max satisfaction where i get a clear blue sky. suddenly i became so sentimental... feel the environtment la kunun... LoL.

Next time i would like to hike for sunset

My life as singletons..?

2009-03-22T14:34:00.000+08:00

Everybody has their story and some people tend to kept it as sweet remembrance and the rest left forgotten in time. It's a past time story which reflect our maturity and life-time lessons we can't deny. For instant joyful moment will be remembered, shared and tells and; failure where most people tried to forget. Can't deny that cause it involved me. But here, somebody just asked me bout my past relationship. Asking me question like they never experienced it. Lucky for you my friend cause i wont suggest you to test it anyway. Believe me! It bite... haha

Aren't you bored living life alone?.. huhu. Well, since you really kind asking me such question, I'm answering you now.. That is NO! It's not very long ago I ended my relationship wef a girl I known 8 year ago. We had a very long history together and I nearly marrying her. But it only left as history now you know. I dare to say that I regreted thing happen the opposite around but in the same time I'm glade that we didn't make it :D. I discover a lot more ever since. No need for me to mention who was that girl but for those who already know, maybe you can keep it to your self okay. Seems cruel to say it this, like no feeling's back there. At first it really insane for me to hold things which decline me. Then i realized that life goes as i still breathing and learning to let go thing. Little by little it fade away and so on and equip my self back to square one. I learned to moved forward for the thing i left long ago which is entertainment, going nuts, adventure etc... I still remember a friend also asked how i managed to turn my life from misery. I don't know but i just managed. Maybe it my attitude as a freak i guess by thinking wild and ignoring what people might say LoL... Stand up and think positive laa! What else? Most of my friend ever experienced this tend to hold on even they knew they were in deep s**t that why they fear to start another. Huhuhu... Just another human wef a different ideology i guess.

My family asked me tons and tons of question. Wakaka... I felt like interviewed in a reality TV show la :D LoL. Worried as if I'll keep on living single. Soon maybe I'll have a better person to be my life time conpanion mom. Just not my desteny to be with someone for now. Laddies friend? I did get some few weird look from them but it doesn't harm me at all. Maybe I look like a player but guess I'm happily being arouond friend. Never mind la people... As long that I'm happy now... kan kan kan

For those who concern. Thanks for being my friend during my bad moment. Thank you for being such a lovely person cheering me. Thank you for putting a smile in my look again. For the specific person. I may not knowing completely but you always there for me. Sorry coz i let you down by overslept at my house :). That why i used to put on my shout "I just smile when i missed you". i dedicate that for you and i mean it. Sorry again kio...

I really forgot that I've taken this pic. A result from some a scientist experiment on a guy to be a pure bread of sabahan version of "Invisible Man". He's around but you may not see him coz he is invi... Yeah, he likes to hang around town so you better beware of ur bumb bumb coz he may spank it whenever he like. He may poke you when you doing naughty. He may smack you down if you acting like a freak. Coz he is Malaysian version of Invi Man, so he can be anywhere. Maybe he is near you by now. But no worries peep, he may not do any harm upon you. He's also a friend to "Cicak Man" and "Papaya". They functioned as a part-time crime buster in the neighborhood. I've interviewed him last time and he told me that he loves apple, carrot, bananas and beers so much. Maybe he is vegetarian I guess? He can sing very well, that why I gave him the nick "The Singing Invi Man". That makes him different for the other Malaysian Superheroes. I hope I can see him again. A word for you invi man...

If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.'

This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of alcohol eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after the consumption of alcohol.'

The Freedom Writers Diary

How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them By The Freedom Writers with Erin Gruwell

The Freedom Writers Diary is the amazing true story of strength, courage, and achievement in the face of adversity. In the fall of 1994, in Room 203 at Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, California, an idealistic twenty-four-year-old teacher named Erin Gruwell faced her first group of students, dubbed by the administration as "unteachable, at-risk" teenagers. This group was unlike any she had ever interacted with.

The kids took bets on how long their new teacher would last in their classroom. Then a pivotal event changed their lives forever: when a racial caricature of one of the African American students circulated the classroom, Erin angrily intercepted the drawing and compared it to a Nazi exaggeration of Jews during the Holocaust. To her amazement, the students responded with puzzled looks. Erin was appalled to discover that not one child in her class knew of the Holocaust and its unspeakable horrors. When asked how many had been shot at, however, all raised their hands, and a battle-scar show-and-tell began that shocked Erin even more.

Erin Gruwell had touched a nerve, and she ran with it. Knowing that her students were all too familiar with violence, she introduced them to Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl and Zlata's Diary: A Child's Life in Sarajevo. Reluctant at first to read the strange texts, the students of Room 203 soon paralleled their lives to those of Anne and Zlata- teenagers also surrounded by violence- and could not believe their intense connections to the stories. Each student began to keep his or her own anonymous diary, recording tormenting stories of drug use, struggles with physical and mental abuse, reaction to Erin and her unconventional teaching methods. The results were the foundation of a life-changing, spiritually enriching journey that began with a symbolic "toast for change," and has not stopped since.

From the moment they named themselves the "Freedom Writers," the students of Room 203 changed from a group of apathetic delinquents to a closely knit, motivated family with Erin Gruwell as their guide. The Freedom Writers worked extremely hard to bring their first influences off the page and into their lives, with funds raised from a "Read-a-thon for Tolerance" set up by Erin, as well as endless moonlighting jobs that Erin worked, they arranged for Miep Gies, the courageous Dutch woman who sheltered the Frank family, to visit them in California. Soon after, Zlata Filipovic responded to the Freedom Writers' many letters inviting her to Long Beach, and she spent five days with them, allowing the Freedom Writers to compare notes with her. This reinforced to the Freedom Writers that voices are heard, change is possible, and a difference can be made in people through the power of words.

The Freedom Writers have since continued to spread their story and message throughout the world. In 1997 they held an "Echoes of the Soul" fund-raising concert to help pay for a trip to Washington, D.C., where they toured the Holocaust Museum and presented their diary to Secretary of Education Richard Riley. This trip also allowed them to emulate their heroes, the Freedom Riders, by holding a peace march and prayer vigil for victims of intolerance at the Washington Monument. In 1998 they won the Spirit of Anne Frank Award the Freedom Writers traveled to New York to accept the award. Most recently, in the summer of 1999, one of their most far-reaching goals was achieved. The Freedom Writers and Erin visited Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam; the concentration camps Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Chelmno in Poland; and visited Zlata in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Most important all 150 Freedom Writers have graduated from High School and are attending college.

About Erin Gruwell

Nothing could have prepared Erin Gruwell for her first day of teaching at Wilson High School in Long Beach, Calif. A recent college graduate, Erin landed her first job in Room 203, only to discover many of her students had been written off by the education system and deemed “unteachable.” As teenagers living in a racially divided urban community, they were already hardened by first-hand exposure to gang violence, juvenile detention, and drugs.

Enter Erin Gruwell. By fostering an educational philosophy that valued and promoted diversity, she transformed her students’ lives. She encouraged them to rethink rigid beliefs about themselves and others, to reconsider daily decisions, and to rechart their futures. With Erin’s steadfast support, her students shattered stereotypes to become critical thinkers, aspiring college students, and citizens for change. They even dubbed themselves the “Freedom Writers” in homage to civil rights activists “The Freedom Riders” and published a book.

Inspired by Anne Frank and Zlata Filipovic (who lived through war-torn Sarajevo), Erin and her students captured their collective journey in The Freedom Writers Diary How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them. Through poignant student entries and Erin’s narrative text, the book chronicles their “eye-opening, spirit-raising odyssey against intolerance and misunderstanding.”

While Erin has been credited with giving her students a “second chance,” it was perhaps she who changed the most during her tenure at Wilson High School. She decided to channel her classroom experiences toward a broader cause, and today her impact as a “teacher” extends well beyond Room 203.

Currently, Erin serves as president of the Freedom Writers Foundation. She raises awareness by traveling nationwide to speak inside large corporations, government institutions, and community associations. But Erin’s capacity to convert apathy to action matters most at schools and juvenile halls, where any observer can watch the expressions of troubled teens shift from guarded cynicism to unabashed hopefulness.

Erin and her students have appeared on numerous television shows, including Oprah, The Rosie O’Donnell Show, Prime Time Live with Connie Chung, Barbara Walters’ The View, Good Morning America, and CSPAN’s Book TV. Her class has been featured on National Public Radio and in national newspapers and People magazine. Paramount Pictures released "Freedom Writers" in January 2007, a film based on this remarkable story featuring Hilary Swank as Erin.

Erin is a graduate of the University of California, Irvine, where she received the Lauds and Laurels Distinguished Alumni Award. She earned her Master’s Degree and teaching credentials from California State University, Long Beach, where she was honored as Distinguished Alumna by the School of Education.

Man Vs. Women Process Flaw

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

Indian Student. It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.

The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History."

Who said "Give me Liberty, or give me Death"?

She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up: "Patrick Henry, 1775"

he said. "Very good!"

Who said "Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?"

Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar. "Abraham Lincoln, 1863" said Chandrasekhar.

The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do."

She heard a loud whisper: "Fuck the Indians," Who said that?" she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up.

"General Custer, 1862."

At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke."

The teacher glares around and asks "All right! Now, who said that?"

Again, Chandrasekhar says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."

Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!"

Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"

Now with almost mob hysteria someone said "You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you."

Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him, 2004."

The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, we're fucked!"

How much would it cost to call Malaysia from Hell? You'd be surprised! Queen Elizabeth, Bill Clinton and Ahmad Badawi die and go to hell. But the devil has only one phone there.

Queen says, I miss my England , "can I use your phone and hear how my people are doing down there." She calls and talks about five minutes. Then she asks: "Well devil, how much do I owe you for the call?" The devil says: "Five million pounds." She writes him a cheque and goes back to her chair.

Clinton wants to make a call too. He says "I wanna call the US." He talks about ten minutes, then asks "how much do I owe you devil?" The devil says "Ten million dollars." He also writes a cheque and goes back to his seat.

Badawi is jealous. He says "I want to call Malaysia..." He calls and talks for about an hour to his son-in-law who is busy trying to find Mr.Petronas. Then he asked the devil "how much do I owe you?" The devil replies: "only one dollar." Badawi is shocked and asks "why so little?". The devils says: "if you make a call from one hell to another, IT'S LOCAL CALL"

A tour bus driver is driving with a bus load of seniors down a highway when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady. She offers him a handful of peanuts which he gratefully munches up. After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder again and she hands him another handful of peanuts. She repeats this gesture about five more times. When she is about to hand him another batch again he asks the little old lady, "why don't you eat the peanuts yourself?". "We can't chew them because we've no teeth", she replied. The puzzled driver asks, "Why do you buy them then?" The old lady replied, "We just love the chocolate around them."

Joke for today...

2009-03-09T11:47:00.000+08:00

A woman is having an affair during the day while her husband is at work . Her nine-year-old son comes home unexpectedly, sees the illegal lovers and hides in the bedroom cupboard to watch. Then the woman's husband unexpectedly comes home. She hides her lover in the cupboard, not realizing that her little boy is in there already.

The little Boy says: "Dark in here."

The Man says: "Yes, it is."

Boy: "I have a soccer ball, do you want to buy it?"

Man: "No, thanks."

Boy: "My dad's outside, I'll call him if you don't buy it!"

Man: "OK, how much?"

Boy: "$1,000."

A few weeks later it happened again , and the boy and the lover were in the cupboard together again.

Boy: "Dark in here."

Man: "Yes, it is."

Boy: "I have soccer boots."

The Man, remembering the last time, asks the boy: "How much?"

The Boy says : "$5,000."

The Man says: "Fine, I will buy them."

A few days later, the Father says to the boy: "Grab your ball and boots, let's go outside and have a game." The Boy says: "I can't, I sold them for $ 6,000." The Father says: "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that... $ 6,000 is way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess your SINS." They go to church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door.

The Boy says: "Dark in here."

The Priest says: "Don't start that again!"

"THIS IS MY CHURCH, NOT YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE!"

We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition of each is listed below.

"GUTS" is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to say, "are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?"

"BALLS" is coming home late after a night out with the guys smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and having the balls to say, "You're next!"

We hope this clears up any confusion.

The Missing Piece. The Story About IMPERFECTION and SATISFACTION...

2009-02-27T17:50:00.010+08:00

He is missing a piece and he’s very sad. He set off to find the missing piece. He rolled along and sing “Oh, I am going to look for my missing piece, I am going to look for my missing piece, ah ha ha, on my way, to look for my missing piece”

Sometimes in his journey, he has to bear the heat of the sun. Following the icy cold rain and sometimes snow freezes him up but then the sun will come out to give him warmth

Because he is missing a piece, he can’t roll very fast. Thus, he could stop and chat with the worm or smell the flowers. Sometimes he overtakes the beetle and sometimes the beetle will also overtake him. This kind of moment is the happiest for him.

He continued his journey n sing “Oh, I am looking for my missing piece. Across the land and seas. I'm not afraid of the long road ahead, I am looking for my missing piece.” Through the swamps and scrubs and up to the mountains then down the hills. Till one day, he saw a missing piece and sang “I have found my missing piece, I have found my missing piece, Not afraid of the long road ahead, I have found…”

“Hold on”, the piece said “Don’t sing that”. “Not afraid of the long road ahead”. “Yet, I am not your missing piece and I am not anyone’s piece”. “I am my own piece and Even if I'm someone missing piece, I believe it would not be yours.” “Ooow.” He sadly said. “Sorry to disturb you.” And he went on his way again.

He then found another piece but this piece was too small. Then another one was too big. Then another one is slightly too sharp then another one was too squarish.

There was once when he found a piece with the perfect fit. But he did not grab hold of it tight and he dropped it. There was another time when he grabbed hold of it too tight and broke it. He went along his way again. Met with some dangers, Fell into a pit and somtime crashed into a stone wall.

One day, he met another piece which seemed to be a perfect fit.

“Hi!” He said.
“Hi!” the piece said.
“Are you anyone’s missing piece?”
“No, I am not.”
“Then are you your own piece?”
“I can be someone’s piece, as well as, be my own piece”
“You probably would not like to be my missing piece.”
“Not really.”
“Maybe we are not suitable.”
“Don’t say that…”

They try to fit each other.
“How is it?”
“Feels good.”

Very suitable! A perfect fit! Finally found it! Finally found it!

He rolled along, because he does not missed a piece anymore, he rolled faster and faster, faster then never before. So fast that he could not stop to chat with the little worm. He can’t stop to smell the flowers too. So fast that the butterfly is not able to rest on him. He could sing his happy song coz he finally found “I found my missing piece.” He started to sing “Ummm…Bleh…Hmmm, Ummm…Bleh…Hmmm, Hmmp…Ummp…”

Oh God, He doesn't missed any piece now, but he felt uneasy. “I know why.” He thought. “There’s must be a reason here.” He stopped and put down his missing piece, And left...

He moved along, and sang softly “Oh, I am looking for my missing piece, I am looking for my missing piece, Ah ha ha, on my way to look for my missing piece.”

Regarding Maturity…

In this society that emphasizes on the packaging, we they would sometimes inevitably envy other people’s good looks, and lament about our own imperfection. But in my years of experience, I have discovered that there’s no one life that is perfect, everyone has a lack of something.

Some couples may be very loving, wealth, but they could have problems. Some people have the looks and talent, but they could have a rough time in relationships. Some people have lots of money, but they don’t have filial children. Some people look to have a good life, but their brain could be very empty all their life. Everyone’s life has been designed with imperfections, you may not want it but it will follow you. I used to hate my imperfection, but now I have learnt to accept it with open arms because I understand that the flaw in life is like a spike on our backs. Reminding us to be humble and to emphatise with others.

If there's are no hardships, we will be complacent. If there is no depression, we cannot emphatise and console those who are less fortunate. I also believe that life cannot be too perfect, having a crack and let happiness flow to others is a beautiful thing.

It's no need for you to have everything coz If you does, what’s left for the others? Also recognise that life has flaws, that I will not compare myself with others instead cherish what you already have.

So, don’t go around envying others, count the blessings that Heaven has bestowed upon you. I'm sure you will find that there is more than the things that you don’t have and what you do not have. Although it's not lovable but it very much part of your life, accept and appreciate it and your life will be much happier.

If you are a clam, do you want to bear all the pains to produce a pearl or you do not want the pearl and choose to live comfortably?!

If you are a mouse, and you suddenly find yourself captured in a rat trap and in front of you is a piece of delicious cake, would you eat the cake or not?!

Early piggy banks are made of clay, once it is filled, it has to be broken. If there is such a piggy bank, no money has been put into it, until today and it has become a very priceless antique. Which piggy bank do you wish to be?!

Everytime you think of it, note down your answers...
Until a day when your answers does not change...
Then you are mature!

Find someone who understands you and hope that you are the person who understands him/her... The intelligent like to guess people’s heart. Although everytime they get it right, they will lose their own. The innocent and naive love to give their hearts. Although they laughed everytime but they would have won over other people’s hearts...

Like the fish said "I can’t see my tears because I am in the water... "
and the water replied "But I can feel your tears because you are in my heart..."

Valentine's Day History

2009-02-14T09:35:00.006+08:00

Roman Roots, The history of Valentine's Day is obscure, and further clouded by various fanciful legends. The holiday's roots are in the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, a fertility celebration commemorated annually on February 15. Pope Gelasius I recast this pagan festival as a Christian feast day circa 496, declaring February 14 to be St. Valentine's Day.

Valentines Galore, Which St. Valentine this early pope intended to honor remains a mystery: according to the Catholic Encyclopedia, there were at least three early Christian saints by that name. One was a priest in Rome, another a bishop in Terni, and of a third St. Valentine almost nothing is known except that he met his end in Africa. Rather astonishingly, all three Valentines were said to have been martyred on Feb. 14.

Most scholars believe that the St. Valentine of the holiday was a priest who attracted the disfavor of Roman emperor Claudius II around 270. At this stage, the factual ends and the mythic begins. According to one legend, Claudius II had prohibited marriage for young men, claiming that bachelors made better soldiers. Valentine continued to secretly perform marriage ceremonies but was eventually apprehended by the Romans and put to death. Another legend has it that Valentine, imprisoned by Claudius, fell in love with the daughter of his jailer. Before he was executed, he allegedly sent her a letter signed "from your Valentine." Probably the most plausible story surrounding St. Valentine is one not focused on Eros (passionate love) but on Agape (Christian love): he was martyred for refusing to renounce his religion.

In 1969, the Catholic Church revised its liturgical calendar, removing the feast days of saints whose historical origins were questionable. St. Valentine was one of the casualties.

Chaucer's Love Birds, It was not until the 14th century that this Christian feast day became definitively associated with love. According to UCLA medieval scholar Henry Ansgar Kelly, author of Chaucer and the Cult of Saint Valentine, it was Chaucer who first linked St. Valentine's Day with romance.

In 1381, Chaucer composed a poem in honor of the engagement between England's Richard II and Anne of Bohemia. As was the poetic tradition, Chaucer associated the occasion with a feast day. In "The Parliament of Fowls," the royal engagement, the mating season of birds, and St. Valentine's Day are linked:

"For this was on St. Valentine's Day,

When every fowl cometh there to choose his mate"

Tradition of Valentine's Cards, Over the centuries, the holiday evolved, and by the 18th century, gift-giving and exchanging hand-made cards on Valentine's Day had become common in England. Hand-made valentine cards made of lace, ribbons, and featuring cupids and hearts eventually spread to the American colonies. The tradition of Valentine's cards did not become widespread in the United States, however, until the 1850s, when Esther A. Howland, a Mount Holyoke graduate and native of Worcester, Mass., began mass-producing them. Today, of course, the holiday has become a booming commercial success. According to the Greeting Card Association, 25% of all cards sent each year are valentines.

Be Single and Sublimely Satisfied! By Rinatta Paries

2009-02-05T04:48:00.011+08:00

Whether you've chosen the single life or are between relationships, you can build a terrific solo life. And, if you're looking to attract true love, turns out that having a terrific single life is just the thing to do.

Below are six major components for being single and happy, as well as suggestions on how to add each one to your current life.

1. Community
What it means: Building a community means having people who are there for you, people who care about you and your life.

Why it matters: Many singles feel lonely and disconnected, which affects their quality of life. They act as if the only way to get their emotional needs met is through a partner. Not true. Members of your community can meet many of your needs, and the more your needs get met, the less needy and the more attractive you become -- and the less you need a partner.

What you can do: Build community by volunteering or by joining clubs around subjects that interest you. Reach out to people already in your life.

2. A Life Rich in Pleasure
What it means: Think of your life's outlook after indulging in something nurturing and pleasurable, such as being in nature, exercise or a good meal. Doesn't life look full of promise? Imagine a life rich in such moments of pleasure and you'll instantly increase your happiness quota.

Why it matters: Many singles forego pleasure and self-care for their jobs or career. It's as if they themselves don't matter; only their accomplishments do.

What you can do: Add three luxurious, pleasurable things to your day. These don't have to be huge -- perhaps a 10-minute stroll, a few minutes reading a book, a cat nap, a body-care product that smells or feels good, a sit-down meal. Figure out what these three things are by remembering the last few times you felt truly luxuriated.

3. A Life Lived Now
What it means: Many singles wait until they're in a relationship to live the kind of life they want and to do the things they love to do. Yet your life happens now -- today. It's not a dress rehearsal for when you have a relationship.

Why it matters: When you want to participate in life, but stop yourself because you are single, you stifle your spirit. On the other hand, living the life you want now enlivens and energizes you and gives you a sense of well-being and happiness. And living your life now also makes you very attractive!

What you can do: Figure out what things you haven't done because you've been waiting for a partner. Which three sound the most fun and give you the most charge when you think about them? Do them now.

4. Relationship Skill Building
What it means: There's a real set of skills few of us know exists -- and even fewer actually have -- that guarantee you'll attract a good, compatible partner and build a great, healthy relationship. The fact that you haven't had a successful lifelong relationship so far doesn't mean that you're doomed to wander the earth alone or that something's wrong with you. It's simply a matter of learning new skills.

Why it matters: Many singles worry that they'll continue to have unhappy, unsuccessful relationships. Many believe there is nothing short of settling that can be done about being single. Many fear they are meant to be alone.

What you can do: Put yourself in relationship school. Read books about relationship skills, go to workshops and seminars, hire a relationship coach. Keep learning and becoming confident in your skills and don't give up!

5. Putting the Past in the Past
What it means: Most people know that they need to let go of the past, yet believe that they cannot. However, there's a real set of skills that guarantee you'll let go of all past hurts and resentments.

Why it matters: Many singles hold on to the past as a way of preventing the same thing from happening in the future. Others hold on because they don't know how to let go. Either way, the past drains your vital life energy. There is no surer way to spoil an otherwise great life than with resentments and anger about days gone by.

What you can do: Learn how to let go. Put yourself in completion school. Read books, go to workshops and seminars, hire a therapist or a coach. Keep learning new ways to let go of the past, then apply them to gaining more and more freedom.

6. Passion/Purpose/Vision/Action
What it means: Be powered by passion about your life. Have a purpose for waking up in the morning. Have a vision of your place in the world and what you want to contribute to others. Take action about all of these.

Why it matters: Many singles are waiting for a relationship to infuse their life with passion and purpose, not realizing that a loving partner is not a substitute for a meaningful life. Single or with a partner, your life's purpose is your own, and will energize you when pursued. You'll be happiest following your life purpose.

What you can do: Figure out what makes time stop for you, what lights you up to no end, what always fuels you with energy. Whatever that activity may be, it's a part of your life purpose. Now get into action on that wonderful thing, and let it lift you and transform you.

Day 8, 26.12.2008. Me and my cousin drive to Tambunan for x'mas visit to his colleague house Juvinia. The journey from Sipitang to Tambunan only took less than 2 hour drive by using the new highway from my kampung. Thou the distance is near but we still had a few stop at the the middle of the jungle for some fresh air. You'll only see hill's and green all around. Stopped again at Tenom filling fuel and at Keningau for refilling our empty tummy then continue our journey to the destination. We reached Tambunan a lil bit early. Forgot the name of the kampung name ody, maybe it's Kg. Kiawaian if I'm not mistaken. At first, the plan is only a day trip but it's change in an instant when Ju's father served us wef a tajau and pusas... Aha. Having 2 tajau is already more than enough for the day.

Day 9. Back from Juvinia house we continue our journey to Bingkor, Keningau. Just have a short visit to the BBKK's friend. Again, i've been served wef Mr. Tajau and this time it's a lil bigger than the night before. My Friend John aka Akung said "the 1st sip is Thank Me for visiting and the 2nd sip is for my safe journey back home". I wont dare to have the 3rd sip coz I'll be dead after that.. haha. Then get back on my wheels to Tenom visiting my uncle which also a short visit.

Quickly went into my room n grabs those old album of mine. Pages by pages, I'm tryin to recall back the story behind the picture. I tried to remember how many memories i have left behind my days.

I still remember i dated her the next day at tangga blakang ruma... Wakakaka...

I still remember my dad bring me jalan2 and he took this picture. LoL.. I laugh my self when i see this one.

I still remember "Blacky" my best doggy ever. He died to became pusas.

I still remember i helping my 3rd sis kasi makan ayam. Come on Chicky..Chicky.. Come to papa.. LoL.

I still remember when all of you were busy preparing me a birthday party. I still remember i was 7 that time and it was a best party and the last one as i recall.

I still remember when i was 4, i started to be naughty. I climb every trees, playing tapuk-tapuk, but most of the time i only play wef my sibling coz our house is a bit far from others.

I still remember when my mom shout "Jerrrrrrrry, jangaaaaaan lari jauh-jauuuuuh!!!!" which i i ran anyway. Then my mom irritate wef my stubborn but still, she handle me wef care, hugs n kisses and full wef love.

"Bernadine Healy, in a commencement address, gave this counsel: 'As a physician, who has been deeply privileged to share the most profound moments of people's lives including their final moments, let me tell you a secret. People facing death don't think about what degrees they have earned, what positions they have held, or how much wealth they have accumulated. At the end, what really matters is who you loved and who loved you. That circle of love is everything, and is a great measure of a past life. It is the gift of greatest worth."

Just Till Today

2008-11-11T13:11:00.001+08:00

Huhuhu... Been so long didn't update my blog due to busy doing this and that. Banyak juga la komplen dari kawan2 suru update but still busy rite now. Ini pun update sambil2 ready for my expenses performance report 2008 and preparation for budget planing 2009.

Yesterday, before i went jogging at the permaisuri lake, i bumped wef 1 of my old school friend nearby my apartment. He kebetulan limpas mo balik from visiting his family near by. Since we didn't meet like 10 year, so like usual la chit chat panjang tapi skijap. Then, sumthin funny when he ask me my marriage life. Hell yeah! Do i look like I'm married? Woi... Jan kasi jatuh saham sia bah... I purposely passed that question and tried to changed other topik but failed. "Errm...sia dingar ko da kawin ngan si ehem..ehem..." What..? (can you repeat that question?). Dari mana lagi korang dapat crita sang kancil ngan kerbau nie..?? When i told him that I'm still single, he surprise! Why he need to be surprised huh? It no harm of being single what. Just not my time yet. All i can say is "TIME WILL TELL"

Today, i only slept like 1 hour. really can't sleep so i layan my cartoon netwok on Astro till the cartoon watch me. Huhuhu..Woke up by my alarm and ready to work. Reached my office early today. Another funny story when i punch my card early than usual. Then the guard came greet and asked me if I'm coming to report duty (enchek.. pejabat bukak jam 8.00 pagi.. sekarang takder orang lagi)... Do i look like a newbie..?? Wakaka... Soo nice the guard... He's a new guard in my department actually and he never saw me during day time. Hahaha.

Step into my office then recieced a memo wanted me to join a budget meeting today. I just see through it once and i see the number 11 so i assume the meeting was on 11am. I really forgot today is 11th November. So, again i rust attending the meeting. lucky they wait for me.. cheeh..cam orang penting plaa.. After meeting, back to my office n recieved a text from my X marah me coz i havent send her things back to KK... Spoiled my mood la kijap. She said i keep quiet, then i wonder apa juga sa mo bising? I stand alone now and contineu my journey as what i wish. I've no more to against you and i just wishing you the best beside your new soul mate.

Chat wef Ellen, she calm me down. thanks so much Ellen.......

Wokay, enough for today... sambung kerjaaaaaaa.....

“I was sitting behind two teenage girls on a bus. One of them was upset because her parents couldn’t afford to buy a dress she had wanted. She didn’t really like her second choice. ‘Then Mom was upset because I didn’t say thank you,’ she complained. ‘I don’t know what she expected me to say thank you for!’ Ungrateful child, I thought. Not long after that, I began pondering the promise of ‘a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it’ (3 Ne. 24:10). Although I had been paying my tithing and fulfilling my other obligations, I did not feel overwhelmed with blessings. In fact, I felt that I had little to be grateful for. Suddenly, my experience on the bus flashed through my mind. I, too, had been an ungrateful child. First as a trickle and then increasing to a torrent, there came to me a powerful awareness of the blessings I had received. From tiny everyday blessings to the great blessing of the Atonement, the gifts God had given me were both abundant and wondrous. The windows of heaven had been open all the time. I just hadn’t noticed.”

Fresh and Green....

2008-10-03T15:53:00.012+08:00

When Malaysian we're crazy celebrating Raya for the 1st day after fasting a for month, we the BBKK's we're busy killing time by going back to nature where the fresh & green is all around us. The rainny sweat, muscle stressed, sloopy hill, we managed to hick till the hill top. Satisfaction to the max when we can view in between where the other side we're KL town and the other side is Klang Gate view we're all green. But we prefer the GREEN thou. Just the five of us (Me, Leo, Gurangak, Dogoes & JJ).

It's really a maximum satisfaction when we reach the hill top and view the wonder of our Creator. Some more living in a metropolitan such as KL, you wont see this everyday. All you can have is only metal and bricks.

There will be more trip for BBKK's after this...

"My testimony coincides with the testimony of the beloved Apostle John: 'If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them' (John 13:17).

"Life's most challenging questions seem to be those that begin with the word why. 'Why is life so hard?' 'Why is there so much sorrow, hate, and unhappiness in the world?' 'Why does death take the young?' And 'why must the innocent suffer?' We all have wrestled with such questions from time to time as we struggle with the vicissitudes of mortality... I believe the only satisfying answers to such questions come from the comforting perspective of faith in our Heavenly Father and his eternal plan for our happiness.

"M. Russell Ballard, Ensign, May 1995, 22

2008-09-13T15:14:00.001+08:00

"...The greatest miracle is not in such things as restoring sight to the blind, healing an illness, or even raising the dead, since all of these restorations will happen, in any event, in the Resurrection. ..A change of heart, including new attitudes, priorities, and desires, is greater and more important than any miracle involving the body. I repeat, the body will be resurrected in any event, but a change affecting what the scripture calls the 'heart' of a spirit son or daughter of God is a change whose effect is eternal. If of the right kind, this change opens the door to the process of repentance that cleanses us to dwell in the presence of God. It introduces the perspective and priorities that lead us to make the choices that qualify us for eternal life, 'the greatest of all the gifts of God' (D&C 14:7)."

"Many in today's generation have not fully known nor appreciated the refining blessings of adversity. Many have never been hungry because of want. Yet I am persuaded that there can be a necessary refining process in adversity that increases our understanding, enhances our sensitivity, makes us more Christlike."

"Some people reject the possibility of miracles because they have not experienced them or cannot understand them. In contrast, President Howard W. Hunter declared, 'To deny the reality of miracles on the ground that the results and manifestations must be fictitious simply because we cannot comprehend the means by which they have happened is arrogant on the face of it."

"When we think we see failings, weaknesses or faults, whether they be real or imaginary, in our brethren and sisters, instead of blurting it abroad and pouring it into the ears of friends and neighbors, wherever we meet them, if we will use sufficient charity, and friendship, . we will go to our friends who suffer our displeasure, or our belief of their defects, and tell them how we feel and what we think, and do it in the spirit of helping them to overcome their weaknesses, and we will thus do ourselves, as well as them, much good. We will not go to them in the spirit of condemnation and complaint, and hurt their feelings and fill their hearts with enmity."

"As we consider the importance of nourishing our intellects with the promising potential of uperhighway resources, we must be ever cautious about the choices of programs and the impact of media in our lives. Those who understand our Heavenly Father's eternal plan for the joy and happiness of his children will be better prepared to make good choices as the Information Superhighway rolls across the world. The computer, television, satellite, microchip, and even the telephone, all can bless and enhance our lives-or can make them miserable."

"Seeking implies so much more than merely looking. Seek means energy, direction, passion, purpose. To seek requires all our 'heart, might, mind and strength' (D&C 4:2 )...How do we seek with our minds? With our intellect we can ponder, we can analyze our circumstances, we can sort and sift information, weigh our options; we can store ideas, we can draw conclusions from our experiences, find answers to our problems; we can treasure thoughts and receive revelation. Isn't that what the Lord meant when he said, 'You must study it out in your mind' and then ask me if these things are not true? (D&C 9:8)"

"[One] way of preparing the heart of someone is to create an atmosphere where judging is held in reserve until anger has subsided, until the hurt has dissipated, until all sides of an issue have been explored. Criticism is a destroyer of self-worth and esteem."

"If a lie is any communication given to another with the intent to deceive, we will all do well to seek God's constant help in understanding and finding the truth. People of integrity will neither foster, nourish, embrace, nor share the lie. People of wisdom will not let greed, fear, or the desire for quick riches lead them into the snares of the dishonest and unscrupulous who prey on the gullible in order to maneuver from them valuable possessions. "

Scientific Expedition Seminar

2008-08-19T15:19:00.006+08:00

I’ve join a Scientific Expedition Seminar recently at Yayasan Pahang, Kuantan. I’m joining the seminar is actually terpaksa coz atas arahan pengarah so by hook or by crook have to attend anyway. My role at the seminars is only as a participant where I have to sit and listen to the presenter mumblings on behalf of my department. Its really bored coz my area is more to management and the presentation is really lamme.

While those scientists and researcher from universities and NGO’s presenting their finding, I was day dreaming coz only few presentations pull my attention but most of the time we all tungkat mata pakai kayu macis..haha…

Colleague from KL lost in battle

Officer in action

"To be in the right we must forgive, and we must do so without regard to whether or not our antagonist repents, or how sincere is his transformation, or whether or not he asks our forgiveness.
