Going The Extra Miles

From Ning:

Not out of obligation

Everything Happens For A Reason

Anyone would be wee bit disappointed when they can't go to APX at Hong Kong.

But I always believe everything happens for a reason.

It just take some time to realize what it is.

If he was to go HK...

...he wouldn't have the opportunity he had that night.

Earth Hour at I-city

I'm happy and proud of you~ :)

Wah, this picture appeared so many times.
His blog, my blog, and our blog. :P

Earth Hour Done...Now What?

It was nice seeing twin tower turning off its lights gradually and disappeared from my sight.
However from high above, I felt that something's wrong.
There were just too many cars and still too many street lights.
Should have barred cars from roaming around, and all street lights off, everyone stays at home.! :P
Okay, just like announcing darurat. :P

Well, we don't know how much we've help in contributing this 1 hour but I'm sure at least it helps still. :) Most probably the effects after Earth Hour will counter back that 1 hour. Even the preparation before Earth hour already used up so many resources. But still, at least the message gets through to some people. ;) The point of earth hour is to create awareness, a symbolic act to show unity in our pledge to the environment. :)

If you still want to continue helping Earth, try these in your daily life:
1. Recycle
2. Don't throw away your error prints, use the back side for your drafts
3. Switch off lights when not used.
4. There's no need to switch on your air-cond if the fan is cooling enough
5. Off your laptop or desktop when it's not used
6. Carpool
7. Public transport
8. Use lesser chemical products - external enzymes!
9. Go organic
10. Eat more local fruits
11. Buy a water tumbler for yourself
12. Plan your route before starting off
13. Make sure your tyre is of enough air
14. Don't put on too much weight on your car
15. Don't place your refrigerator too near to heat sources
16. Never place hot food/beverages into your refrigerator
17. Use a cup to wash and cleanse instead of running tap water
18. Use green bags

I heard you saying : "Cheh, all these I also know la.."

Of course, they're all the basics. We're getting down back to the basics.

The main problem is - We always forget to practise the basics.

Let's start within. :)

我的回忆不是我的

伤心的总会任性灰心的总会用气力
将最好的过去将最多的细碎锁到属于你的眼睛
失恋的不够耐心失恋的不信是注定
于最黑的世界于最光的刹那感动属于你的气息
即使很多一起过的想起的通通你的为着是浪漫的爱情
通通都可再见但承诺可再听
什么可不变色 oh baby```
当晚与你记住蒲公英今晚偏偏想起风的清劲
回忆不再受制于我我承认
回忆也许你的
当晚与你记住流水声今晚站在大地自己倾听
难道送别你回头总是虔诚
谁能怪我总是太感性

失恋的都有惰性失恋的都记住约定
当理想的世界当理想的刹那因爱无分你的我的
即使很多一起过的想起的通通你的为着是浪漫的爱情
通通都可再见但承诺可再听
什么可不变色 oh baby```

当晚与你记住蒲公英今晚偏偏想起风的清劲
回忆不再受制于我我承认
回忆也许你的
当晚与你记住流水声今晚站在大地自己倾听
难道送别你回头总是虔诚
谁能怪我总是太感性

Patience Is Virtue?

Patience is virtue.

Yeah.

But at times when patience is not a virtue...

This is what happens.

Get Ready - Let's Do It~

So it's Tomorrow. :P

Anyway, aren't you supporting 60 Earth Hour?
If you aren't, you really should.

Join in the whole fun come on!
It'll be pretty cool to have your whole neighbourhood going dark simultaneously.
It'll be amazing to have to see the whole Malaysia going sheer dark at that very second.
Oh how I would love to see it!

All for a good cause, it takes just AN HOUR,
to play your little role for Mother Earth.

*******

What to do during Earth Hour?
Popjammerz' suggestions:

If you love to be in the house - then cuddle up with your loved ones.
If you want something meaningful - then get have a great talk over some wine or juice.
If you want something romantic - then go to the park for a walk.
If you want to reminisce your childhood - play hide and seek.
If you want to experience the past - light an oil lamp and study.
If you want to experience something crazy - try to break into other people's house. :P
If you want to witness something amazing - then go up to a highhill and witness the whole light off of Kuala Lumpur (well, at least some part will, kan
Imagine, watching them off~off~ off~ one by one!

So well, let's all enjoy Earth Hour!!!

If you have nothing better to do, switch off your lights and SLEEP EARLY.

Have fun!

For Mother Earth, For us, For our future generation!!!

About Dreams

About Dreams..
Do you have dreams? I mean dreams which appeared in your sleep?
I do. I always have happy joyful dreams. My dreams are always real, I feel it and I can feel the person I touch or vice versa. Some times I remember my dreams. Well, it's not a good sign anyway. It means you never slept well. :P

Today was rather different though. I had 3 dreams. 3 bad dreams. 3 consecutive bad dreams. One happened during the morning before I was awake. Another 2 happened while I was napping. I can only remember 2 more vividly.

I can still roughly remember my dream contents. It wasn't nice. :( Why? I felt the pain of losing peoples in all 3 dreams, and I don't like it.

Why do we have bad dreams?

It's amazing

Unlocked my questions.
It's amazing how true it is ' Ask, and you'll be given '.
It's amazing how it always happens in my daily life. :)
Some things aren't given directly.
Some things aren't given instantly.
But yet, it'll always be given to you at the right time, in the right way.
I'm so happy!

I am a laughing queen???

I love to smile.
I love to laugh.

I can smile at the simplest thing.
I can laugh at anything.
At times I looked stupid because I can smile and laugh with myself.
At times I laughed so loud that the whole house might thing I'm crazy.

My roommate said that I'm a laughing queen.
People say I have a bright aurora.
My darling always laugh at me when I'm laughing to myself.

Wei people, laughing can make you live longer la!
Laughter is the best medicine ma!

* Do you really know your friend? *

Sometimes, we thought we really know a person.
We thought that they are as good as how they seem, just because they always treat us nice.
Especially when they are more intellectual and more experienced then us. Or especially when they treat us very good as a friend.
But always remember, every human has their own flaws. And usually it's not easy for us to detect them.
Sometimes, to see other people's flaws in short term - it's to work with them.
If to see it in long term - it's to really get to know them day by day, months by months.

Then, you'll get to see - their flaws.
And when you know how serious their flaws are, do you still accept them for who they are?
You must. Because you are his/her friend. At times most people always choose to believe that people are as good as how they always seem, or how they always portray themselves. You choose to think that they are close to perfect because they make you happy when you are friends. And when you realized their flaws, or bad habits, or unacceptable attitude, you start to ponder - is this the friend you know?

If you say you are somebody's close friend, you are when you are able to point out their good and bad, and accepting both. :)

Yesterday I was chatting with a friend about another friend. This friend of ours indeed shocked me off when we started working together long time ago. I realised that this friend of mine, really has a different side, or perhaps it's the real side just I didn't get to notice yet, until we started working together. That period of time was really 'deng-ing', I remembered I was always fired up by some attitude and thoughts of this friend. I was frustrated when no one got to experience first hand except me. I was disappointed when others think that this friend just needed time to improve while I think too much time has been given already. Yet, I was overjoyed when other members started to feel the same way as how I feel. At least, it wasn't me who only felt like that. Wow, I'm so bad, huh! :P

See, this friend of mine was previously quite a close friend. While we started off working I was very happy to encourage, support and listen. But somehow I guessed the friendship wreck a lil bit the more we work together. Because you started to see the bad side of your friend as a colleauge, a side you hardly tolerate with. I frusted. I cried. I scolded. I even refused to communicate much even everything was over. However, I've already forget and forgive whatever had happened, because I know people all have their flaws. I do. You do. We all do. Just that it takes time to forgive. I believe changes of this friend has taken place too, to certain extend. Everyone deserves a second chance. I'm just very glad that we are friends again. :)
Yet, some friends can just remain as friends, some colleauge can just remain as colleauge, and some -can indeed be the best of both.

What a nice experience. Sometimes when you're frustrated with someone, you get closer to more other people. :D Well, those were the days. ^^

* The present or the future? *

Do you live in the present?
Or do you live for the future?

Will you take every opportunity you have now, do whatever you want to do now, because you live in the present, and like people always say 'you won't know what happens next second so do it now'? Including giving off your virginity to the man/woman you love so much now in the present?

Haha, don't get me wrong. It's just something I was discussing with my roomie. :)

Or do you choose to do something which is a lil bit suffering, requires a lil bit of patience, just because you know that it'll bring you good in the future?

There's no right cut by the way. Some things must be done in the present, and some things need plans for the future. Sometimes, you have to give up some things in the present, so that you'll harvest more in the future. :)

Just make the right choice. Always choose to do right over wrong.

* Thoughts at break *

Whenever I am free, or reading a book, or listening to songs, or basically not studying, trains of thoughts flood my brain. Well, that's basically normal when you reflect and think. Everyone does!

You have these thoughts because you were inspired by a story, or a statement, or a person, or the surroundings or you're just experiencing some things yourself.

*********

Persevering is a skill, a life-trained skill.
That's my personal favourite word - 'perseverance'
Sometimes, you tolerate so as to persevere.
But when it seems to no point to continue tolerating at all, why persevere on?
Maybe you want things to be done in the end, but will it be good?
:) And as I've been thinking..just continue to persevere. You'll never know what you'll harvest.

**********

It's good to have a man of wealth, but it's far more better to have a man of honor.
It's good to have a man of luxuries, but it's even greater to have a man of love.
No lavishness can ever beat the simplicity of a simple stroll and then a dinner back home with a heart to heart talk.
Home is where the heart is.

***********

I love Jolin's lyrics - "I don't need a boyfriend, I just need a real man"
That's just too cool.

***********

KOH class is rather interesting today.
Although I was reading my magazine I still listen.
I agreed. Some couple live with the differences and some just can't.
So do you go for compatibility, or complementary?

***********

Physically and chronologically I'm already a young adult.
But I'm still quite a child within me. He said, have a child-like heart.
And you'll learn what you want to know, see what you want to see.
Then, you'll grow within.
The journey of learning is so fun and pleasing and peaceful.
And I shall never doubt for its so true. :)
Those two books made me realized, they persevered very much, despite those different circumstances and consequences. I like it. Matthew and Acts.
In fact, I learned the essence of perseverance from my mother, and she learned from Him.

***********

Somehow someone is always speaking to me.
Constantly reminding me.
I don't know what to do now. :)
But I am still happy.
Time will tell. For there is a time for everything.

***********

Top of all, I just need one thing.

Those who knows me, will know what I need. :)

* 꽃보다남자 *

꽃보다남자 너무 재미있어요!
이동안 너무 바빠서 드라마 본 시간도 적은데~
한국 숙제하는 시간 도 없고 어떡해 드라마를 봐요?

어쨌든, 현중이 너무나 멌있어!!!!
우리 두사람 나이가 같아! ㅎㅎㅎ!

아무리 바빠도 꼿 '꽃보다남자' 보야해!!

* Satisfaction pushes you on *

Phew. I finally get to rest a while. I will not stop blogging although I am busy, I will still spare time for it. :P

It's been a very busy week. It will be even busier next week. Pey Pey and I kept on saying that we don't dare to face the reality!!! Haha. But anyhow, we still have to. The reality is challenging, which is good, right?

I just got back from another extra day of work. Got home, swept, mopped, changed, washed, pulled over the curtains, closed the door, switched on the air-cond, played OPUS channel with all those symphonies, brought my laptop to the living hall, and start working again.

It's nice to be always on the move, and resting once a while. I especially like working in such a condition at home - air cond + orchestra at the back ground + dimmed light + a glass of cold drink + my work.

I started to think of year 2007 and 2008 suddenly while was checking my emails. I remembered that time emails were all about AIESEC AIESEC AIESEC. :) When a friend of mine commented that he misses HOPE days, I suddenly miss it too. Although those days were rough but it's true when it's said that "what are there to be remembered when everything goes smooth?". And then Bran said he's with interns now then I started missing other @ moments, I miss all the interns I met and played with. :) Pulkhit is asking when are we going to Nepal, Bora is asking when am I going to Japan..okay, so when?! :) Then I start missing every activities I organized or helped out. Projects are just always so fun.

Okay now I'm just waiting for a more interesting and challenging @ experience this year 2009. Please give it to me. :P And I am dying for an exchange after I graduate. The feeling isn't nice when you're so near to the exchange state, you're matched, and then you can't go for it - TWICE. Trust me. But I always believe things happens for a reason. The reason will not be apparent, but it will always be cleared when the time has come. :) Have faith.

So far this year is still hectic yet a little different. I'm focusing more on my part-time job, my korean, and my studies and assignments. Good, at least I'm keeping up with my resolutions! Just a few more which is not done yet. But the time will come, it will! :)

Nowadays emailing are more for my work. And I received a very nice replied mail. It's nice when people appreciate the effort you have put in. It's nice knowing that what you are doing actually benefits other people. It's best when you know you are actually helping the community in need! I have still so many more things to do, but the happiness and satisfaction in me pushes me on to do more and better.

Finally an update of me on apa saya tengah buat after a few days. Phew. The orchestra at the background makes me feel so relaxed, I think my Alpha waves are increasing! :D

So, let's start work!

Have a good weekend dears, and Happy White Valentines!!!

* Have you ever thought of going back to the olden days? *

My quote on my blog today:
"It is a matter of shame that in the morning the birds should be awake earlier than you."

Somehow I suddenly felt that it's so true.
Have you ever thought of going back to the olden days? If there were not much of science and technology improvement, I believe humans will always be healthier.
Healthier as in:
Sleeping earlier
Waking up earlier
Lesser pollution
Better environment
Walking more
Eating healthier food
Lesser time for computer and dota
Lesser infrareds
etc etc...consequently BETTER HEALTH, BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE, BETTER LONGEVITY.

It's always nice to wake up early, breathing the fresh air whilst hearing the birds chirping happily outside, above that big huge oak tree where beneath is a piece of nice colorful garden. When you look afar, there's a stretch of hills and valleys, and you can see the beautiful sun slowly marching up to the sky.
Can you imagine what I am imagining?!? Wao..it's so perfect!!!

Wah..I really want to go to such a place now for a vacation. That is a true vacation for me. A place for me to relax, rejuvenate, have a book with me and a cup of hot chocolate in my hands. Beside me will be my loved ones, reading a book, or just simply humming a song while writing a diary entry. :)

I've always dreamed if I am a multi-billionaire, I will visit to many private chalet or private resorts at places I like so I can go there for vacation, an escapade. Escaping from the hustle and bustle of this super fast pace busy city life, where your wear-and-tear systems of your cells are increasingly high too.

There's no need to have good plasma TV, or hi-fi systems or wifi services. As long as it's close to nature, it's the best place to feel the world. Of course, the weather must be GOOD la.

Try switching off you handphone and laptop one day and see how will you feel. But I guessed that won't work. We will always be tempted to switch them on again. So, go to a place where you are faraway from your handphone and laptop, then you will start to really enjoy the moment of jotting down important numbers in your diary, using public phones to call, reading books and newspapers, having a good talk. :)

Why I said so? Because I've experienced a day without my cell phone and laptop before. And also 2 days without my laptop with me. It felt great. :D

* Thank you *

An awful headache.
From the night till the next morning.
I thought sleeping early will help.
But who knows those mosquitoes attack us like mad in the middle of the night.

Thanks Yi Pei for giving me panadols.
Thanks Pei Wen for helping me to sign my attendance and buying me lunch.
Somehow today my head just don't seem right.
Still feels so giddy and dizzy, floating here and there.
Then that stupid flu strikes.

After a bath, then a good nap again, I woke up for the next class.
The KOH class was replaced by the lecturer's tutor.
No one likes to go for it. Me too.
So I came here, the computer lab.

It's only me alone in the whole computer lab, with another malay guy.
The computer lab is so quiet. And I love it here, now.
It's like my own world. No one intruding in. :) So peaceful.

Thanks to you who always brighten up my days unexpectingly.
Somehow those stupid goofy mms always came in at the right point of time.
I wonder whether are you stalking me or it's purely just fate! :D
But I know you're not a stalker, you're one good friend.

I feel like eating cheesey wedges again, oh no.
I guessed I am hungry!

-_- I'm not sick. I have a test tomorrow. Fight on!

* When you cry *

When you cry
Go and shower
Then you won't feel your tears

Belle misses Jane and Grace.

Boys Over Flowers Parody!

I super love this one. She won second place but it's better than the winner to me!


Everyone's so over BOF now.
I haven't see any episode yet!

* Love is like a boat *

I suddenly missed my water rafting moments at Sabah with my cool friends, and somehow it sparked me about Love.

Love is like a boat.
Picture this, you and your lover is starting off a new journey, just like sitting in this boat, setting off to the sea, not knowing what's ahead.

A boat will only reach its destination when two people in that boat row together.
Just like love will only reach its destination when two people work hard together.
When one of them gets weary, the other can help support by rowing the boat himself.
But never let him row for too long, as he will be weary too.
When both became weary and tired, there will be no one who is rowing the boat.
The boat will either stay in the middle of the sea, or drifted to somewhere else far from its destination.

I remembered when we were rafting against the current, Harish was yelling like crazy and all of us paddled as hard as we could. In the end, throughout the whole journey, we never capsized at all.

It's the same for Love. When there's a huge wave, or a nasty storm, both must row as hard as they could, together. You can only fight against the wave and get over it when you are constantly rowing or paddling strong, fast, and synchronized. One person rowing doesn't helps. It takes all the people in that boat. In here, it's the both of them. :)

If they don't, the relationship will end up like the boat - capsized.

^^

This applies to teamwork as well. :) It takes everyone to play a part in getting the boat or the ship to its destination.

I remembered Harish went: "1!2!1!2!"
And we girls, szewen , peypey, fangyee, and siewwei were all rowing crazilly behind..."1!2!1!2!"

But please, people, when it comes to water rafting, if you want to enjoy the capsized moments - DON'T TEAMWORK. :P Or else you'll never get to capsize.

* Love Tips *

Girls always like to ask: "If your mom and I both fell into the sea, who will you first save?"

Questions which are lame and stupid to guys yet they can't find any answer. Questions which are wasting time but still matters a lot to girls. :P

So what's the best answer?

"My mom!"
- Certainly no. You'll be dumped at the next second.

"You!"
- Certainly no too! Why? Because later on you will get more questions! "really?why?" things like that.

So the best answer is...

"I will save my mom, then I'll jump down and drown together with you as I want to be with you together forever, you jump I jump!"

:P

* Disappointed *

There are 2 types of people:
One who knows how to prioritize his/her responsibilities.
One who does not knows how to prioritize his/her responsibilities.

One who can't really enjoy leisure much due to his/her responsibilities.
One who enjoys to the fullest due to his/her negligence.

One who gets to truly enjoy when he/she finally gets to enjoy.
One who does not really understand the feeling of enjoyment due to too much enjoyments.

Which one are you?

At times I am disappointed with people.
People who don't know how to prioritize.
People who don't know which is more important.
People who choose to deliver below what they are capable of.

Some things can't be hide.
Some things are just that obvious.

Always remember. People are watching. People are talking.
Some might not see it. Some might have realized it long time ago.
About what?
About you. About him. About her. About them.

The point is, whatever we are doing, there will always be somebody who keeps track, or just plainly observing. You never know. So how you carry yourself is very important. You don't say left then turn right. ;)

If you don't want to be misunderstood by others, or being misjudged, or if you want to prove that you are right, then - prove it through your actions.

When time passes, people will know. :)

Christians believe there is a judgment day, where everything we did on earth, good or bad, will all be judged by God.

I believe, that there will be a judgment moment anytime, anywhere by anyone on earth now. By who? By people, by your parents, by your friends, by coursemates, by your relatives, my your teammates, by your spouses, by your loved ones, by your enemies, or even, by a stranger.

So, how do you want to be judged?

* Your Goals Determine Your Life *

Harvard did a 25 years cohort study on a population about their goals in life.
It turned out to be like this:

27% have no goals at all.
60% have unclear goals.
10% have clear defined short term goals.
3% have clear defined long term goals.

After 25 years, the 3% are those who are working at the top levels, those with huge achievements and successes, those who marked down history.

10% are those who have higher socioeconomy status, securing better and impactful jobs, bringing a change to the community as well.

60% are those who have a normal living life, the ones who have a stable secured job, no worries and simple.

27% are those who are always remaining jobless, living meaningless and still wandering around eventhough 25 years had past.

The study also found out, that that 3% hold on to their long term goals very tightly. They failed endlessly, but they still hold on and never gave up, eventhough circumstances told them that they should. In the end, they succeed. It's just like Eddison, trying out a few 1000 times just to invent the light bulb.

The 10% who are those who hold strong to their short term goals eventually gets to achieve what they want in life too. Because all hit short term goals were met which gave rise to a great outcome in life in the end.

Goals are important. They path the way for you to the future you want. As you are nearer and nearer to your goals, you get to envision your future better.

Success is never easy, but not that hard either. You just need to keep holding on. Success starts at the point when you decided to work hard. Making a decision is easy. Holding on to it is hard.

But how long could you press on? That's another question.

* Treasure health, treasure what you have *

Treasure health, treasure what you have.
When it comes do one day whenyou have lost the ability to eat and to breath
you will only realized that all these abilities which we taught to supposed to be easily handled, are actually that fragile.

Health is important.

Tagem goes No Music, No Life.
Harish goes No Pork, No life.

Let's start together with - No Health, No Life!

For it is utterly true! :D

* I Love You *

Today is a special day.
A day for someone who grew up together with me.
A day for someone who is always with me.

Although we are miles apart, I never miss this special person because I know she is always in my heart. People miss people when they feel that they are far, but she is always so near to me.

Time passes very fast and in just a blink of an eye, you're back beside me again. :)

In this world of uncertainties, trust might disappear and love might fade.
But whenever that happens, our friendship will always be there for each other.

Thank you and I love you!

My lovely Ah-sa!

* A time for Everything *

There is a time for everything..

a time to be born and a time to die
a time to plant and a time to uproot
a time to kill and a time to heal
a time to tear down and a time to build
a time to weep and a time to laugh
a time to mourn and a time to dance
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them
a time to embrace and a time to refrain
a time to search and a time to give up
a time to keep and a time to throw away
a time to tear and a time to mend
a time to be silent and a time to speak
a time to love and a time to hate
a time for war and a time for peace.

You know what? I've realised many people spend a lot of time searching, but not finding. Some even, spent time not searching, but wandering.

I also realised, people hunger for more love, because they are always not full of it.
I don't, because I have it from everyone, at least, everyone who matters to me. :)
Or the least, His love from above is already enough. :)

* At times of doubt *

At times of doubt
choose to be confident.

At times of doubt
choose to believe.

At times of doubt
choose to trust.

At times of doubt
choose to ask.
