Total Eclipse of the Heart

I like this song more and more.
Perhaps it's because they are just too good in singing!!!

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in you eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart

Why Wait? Just Do It!

A nice story read from Chicken Soup:

My father told me that God must surely have a reason for me being the way I am today. I'm beginning to believe it. I was the kind of kid that things always worked out for. I grew up in Laguna Beach, California, and I loved surfing and sports. But at a time when most kids my age thought only of TV and the beach, I started thinking of ways I could become more independent, see the country and plan my future.

I began working at the age of 10. By the time I was 15, I worked between one to three jobs after school. I made enough money to buy a new motorcycle. I didn't even know how to ride it. But after paying cash for the bike and one year's worth of full insurance coverage, I went to parking lots and learned to ride it. After 15 minutes of figure eights, I rode home. I was 15 1/2, had just received my driver's permit and had bought a new motorcycle. It changed my life.

I wasn't one of those just-for-fun weekend riders. I loved to ride. Every spare minute of every day, every chance I got, I averaged 100 miles a day on top of that bike. Sunsets and sunrises looked prettier when I enjoyed them from a winding mountain road. Even now, I can close my eyes and still feel the bike naturally beneath me, so naturally that it was a more familiar feeling than walking. As I rode, the cool wind gave me a feeling of total relaxation. While I explored the open road outside, inside I was dreaming about what I wanted my life to be.

Two years and five new motorcycles later, I ran out of roads in California. I read motorcycle magazines every night, and one night, a BMW motorcycle ad caught my eye. It showed a muddy motorcycle with a duffel bag on the back parked on the side of a dirt road in front of a large "Welcome to Alaska" sign. One year later, I took a photograph of an even muddier motorcycle in front of that exact same sign. Yes, it was me! At 17 years old I made it to Alaska alone with my bike, conquering over 1000 miles of dirt highway.

Prior to departing my seven week, 17000 mile camping adventure, my friends said that I was crazy. My parents said that I should wait. Crazy? Wait? For what? Since I was a kid, I had dreamed about going across America on a motorcycle. Something strong inside of me told me that if I didn't go on this trip now, I never would. Besides, when would I have the time? I would be starting college on a schoalrship very soon, then a career, perhaps even a family someday. I didn't know if it was just to satisfy me or if in my mind I felt it would somehow transform me from a boy to a man. But what I did know was that for that summer, I was going on the adventure of a lifetime.

I quit all of my jobs, and because I was only 17, I had my mother write a letter stating that I had her permission to go on thsi trip. With $1400 in my pocket, two duffel bags, a shoe box full of maps strapped to the back of my motorcycle, a pen flashlight for protection and a lot of enthusiasm, I left for Alaska and the East Coast.

I met a lot of people, enjoyed the rugged beauty and lifestyle, ate off the open fire and thanked God every day for giving me this opportunity. Sometimes, I didn't see or hear anyone for two or three days and just rode my motorcycle in endless silence with only the wind racing around my helmet. I didn't cut my hair, I took cold showers at campgrounds when I could, and I even had several unscheduled confrontations with bears during that trip. It was the greatest adventure!

Even though I took several more trips, none can ever compare to that summer. It has always held a special place in my life. I can never go back again and explore the roads and mountains, the forests and glacial waters the same way I did back then on that trip, alone with my motorcycle. I can never make the same trip in the exact same way because at the age of 23, I was in a motorcycle accident on a street in Laguna Beach where I was hit by a drunk driver/drug dealer who left me paralyzed from the ribs down.

At the time of my accident, I was in great shape, both physically and mentally. I was a full-time police officer, still riding my motorcycle on my days off, I was married and financially secure. I had it made. But in the space of less than a second, my whole life changed. I spent 8 months in the hospital, got divorced, saw that I could not return to work in the way that I had known it, and, along with learning how to deal with chronic pain and a wheel chair, I saw all the dreams I ahd for my future leaving my reach. Luckily for me, help and support helped new dreams to develop and be fulfilled.

When I think back to all of those trips I took, all of those roads that I traveled, I think of how lucky I was to have been able to do that. Every time I rode, I always said it to myself, " Do it now. Enjoy your surroundings, even if you're at a smoggy city intersection; enjoy life because you cannot depend on getting a second chance to be in the same place or do the same things."

After my accident, my father said that God had a reason for me being a paraplegic. I believe it. It has made me a stronger person. I returned to work as a desk officer, bought a home and married again. I also have my own consulting business and am a professional speaker. Every now and again, when things get rough, I remind myself of all the things that I have accomplished, all the things I have yet to accomplish and my father's words.

Yes, he was right. God sure did have a reason. Most importantly, I remind myself to enjoy every moment of every day. And if you can do something, do it. Do it now!

I wish I can share a story like that next time. Of course, with a better ending. :)

Internship Week 8 Day 3: I Think I Just Bribed + A treat at Ginger Tree

Yesterday Trix and I went to meet client. We drove there ourselves and there was no parking when I reached there. The person asked me to park at that building for RM2, he mentioned "xx company".

Okay, so I U-turned and entered that "xx company" which he mentioned and indeed there were parking lots. So I parked, happily.

When I got out and asked the Pak Cik where to pay my RM2, he told me I came to the wrong place, it supposed to be the next building.

Grr. So I said thank you and went back to my car. But after a few seconds he called me , "Moi~Mari mari.."

Then I innocently went over back to him. And he told me "It's okay la, you can park here, later you buy teh-ice for me".

Then I smiled and said thank you~"u orang memang baik lah".

He replied, "I tengok you lawa, lagi sopan so I kasi you chance la tolong you, ok ok?"

Yeah so after meeting, I walked back and on the way I bought a teh-ice for him from the stalls outside, which is very convenient of course.

Oh my gosh, is this counted as Bribery??

*********************

Anyway, before that meeting, Trix treated me a nice lunch at Ginger Tree since I'm leaving today. T_T

Do You Abstine From Pre-marital Sex?

My friends all know that I'm a person who strongly disapprove pre-marital sex. Sometimes it's a little bit hard for me to explain to them. And I too don't understand why they are okay or sometimes even yearn for a partner who actually had sexual experience before with their ex-es, just because then they could have better sex life after marriage. What's the point? Can't they see how those things indirectly will affect their marriage? I don't believe they won't feel a twist at all knowing that their married partner had sex before with their previous partners.

Okay, you might say I'm traditional, la. Anyway, I came across this article which truly depicts what are my thoughts. Just to share with all of you.

Hadikusumo cited nine reasons why people have sex before marriage:

* Present youth culture
* Pressure from partner
* Looking for love
* Peer acceptance
* Expression of love
* Lack of alertness
* High-risk activity

"High-risk activities include heavy petting in an intimate situation or place, use of drugs or the presence of alcohol influencing decision."

* Rebellious acting out

"Rebellious acting out is acting against set family principles or school authority by doing something contrary to what is expected."

* Getting over a break-up or rebound

"Rebound is the act of filling up a vacuum left by the previous partner. The driving principle for such action could be pain, loneliness or fear," she explained.

******

Abstinence is defined as refraining from sexual contact of any sort, including genital intercourse, oral sex, anal sex, mutual masturbation or any other physically intimate activity for the purpose of sexual gratification.

Hadikusumo said abstinence promotes risk elimination which protects the future of youths, and allows them to pursue friendships, goals, dreams and optimal health. Abstinence, she added, is not only achievable but leads to the healthiest outcome.

In her paper, she listed out the nine advantages of choosing abstinence:

* More self-respect and more respect for each other.
* Security that you are not being pursued for sexual reasons.
* Greater chance of faithfulness in marriage, and trust in your partner's ability to control himself or herself with other people.
* Chance to develop more depth in relationships.
* Less worries regarding pregnancy, birth control, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), emotional betrayal, etc.
* Peace of mind and joy in the knowledge that you are obedient to God in this area of your life.
* Better sex when you are married.
* Stronger marriage.
* Freedom from memories of past sexual partners.

******

"Many people can work on sexual techniques and improve their sex life over years of marriage.

"Premarital abstinence will also spare your spouse of insecurities based on wondering if you are really satisfied with him sexually. These insecurities over time can erode a marriage."

"Also, a partner who finds himself or herself frequently remembering past partners, who may have been better in bed, can cause guilt or conflicting emotions which will erode a marriage," the speaker pointed out.

******

Just say NO.

Offering tips on how to respond to negative peer pressure, Hadikusumo advised teenagers to be the leader, not the follower.

"For example, if someone says 'If you loved me, you'd let me', then your response should be 'If you loved me, you wouldn't be asking me to give up something I'm saving'.

"Or, 'Don't you want to show me you love me?' You respond - 'I don't have to have sex to show you I love you'.

"The other famous line is 'Other people have sex and they're safe'. What you should say is 'Well, I'm not other people and you don't know if they're safe or not. I'm not betting my future on other people.'"

******

Change!!

Yeah.

Canton-i + Food&Tea

Food Updates. I
've been eating a lot lately.
On Friday we interns went to Sunway Pyramid for dinner.
We ended up at Canton-i, thanks to Sest Nee.
She wanted to eat at there so much. :P

The so called 'cold polo bun'.
What's cold?
The slice of cheese above that pack of ice.
That's it.

I was like "what??"
Okay. Fine. :P

Then I ordered these cute pig red bean paste bun.
Cute isn't it?

Yeah, I ordered just because of the cuteness.

Who is cuter??

Egg tarts, pig bun and polo bun.

This is my Prawn Dumpling Wan Tan Mee.
It's nice.
The dumplings are really filled with big prawns and I love it.
Yeah I love prawns. :)

RM16.90
(If I'm not mistaken)

The rest called the normal wan tan mee which let you choose a combination of 2 toppings.
Wan tan + siu yok
Or others like "char siew" , "dumplings" blablabla..

So, canton-i.

I'll go there only once. :P
I normally won't pay much for chinese food outside.
Once a while, okay. But not twice at the same chinese restaurant.

**************************************

Next, today I brought mom to have lunch at Food & Tea at Tropicana City.

Mom's "Yin Yang Coffee"

My "ice lemon tea"

Mom's porridge.
She said it was good.

Carrot cake.
It's too smashy, if you want to taste carrot cake, better head for Dim Sum shops.

My pizza.
Ham + Cheese toppings.
The cheese is not cheddar nor mozarella.
I forgot what was it.
It started with "F".

Anyway, this is GOOD.
Enough for one person.
And it cost RM5.50.

*******************************

Then at night I went to KAYU to eat dinner.

Fuiyoh.

Makan gao gao.

I'm getting fat.

Pressies + Internship Week 7 Day 3 - TV2 Slot + Siti Nurhalisa

Before I go into the topic, let me show you a goofy pic of me, playing around with specs:

Do I look Koreanish?

This is something I saw when I went One U, at SJ shop and I love it so much:
And this is what I saw at Lovely Lace:Told ya, I love pretty boxes.
So if you give me presents, make sure it's in a nice box :P
You need not wrap.
Or else, you can just give me that nice box, no presents.
Hmm..better still with presents.

See, I'm giving you guidelines.
You are less than 2 months away from my birthday. :P

***************

Okay, today we went to RTM for Dr Chris' slot at TV2.
I woke up late. :( Fortunately still in time.

I go there to have fun, and get a look at the studio.

Before entering have to do all those normal pin number stuffs.

I knew all sessions have small small parts of its own, since I always watch Xiao Zhu's show :P So I expected a small room like this. But first time being in there is a little bit different.

I seriously love the lights above.

Hosts Terrence & Stephen with Dr CB.
These 2 are funny.
They grad with..LAW~ o.O

Now you may be wondering what's this guy doing over here.
Seriously I tell you, I don't know either at first.

It looks like the end of the program they have this guy singing, LIVE.

That's nice.

But he sang..."Long Ban~~~deng deng deng~" That old song.
What's it called?
Shang Hai Tan I think.

Then after the whole thing, we went home. On the way, we saw Siti Nurhalisa coming out from the other station. Too bad can't take picture, I was in the car. Then Trix went to find the producer, while Gary and I waited in the car. I slept off. I only had 3 hours sleep the night before, so I terus....konk off.

Back to office, it's work again.

Work work work. But I love the work. :)

And I think I'm the most carefree person who sits like this in my office:

Oh, just to note: That's my leg up on the chair...I'm wearing black slacks.

Tang was laughing all the way.

At the end of the day, Hector suddenly sat like this too:

I think everyone is just being a bit relaxed when it's after 5pm.

Hahaha.

Teary Journey + Work

It's always joyful to realise how the Lord blessed you, even since you were soooo young and you didn't have a single clue to what's happening in the future.

Today after hearing something from Trix, I just felt so blessed.

I thought of my younger days, until high school, til uni, even til internship now. There's always someone there He'd placed for me, someone right, someone where I can easily share and seek for consolation, be it they are Christians or not. And I only came to realise this today, after trains of thoughts in the car while driving after the work. I came to realise this is because, it also happens during my internship. He also placed someone right for me during my internship.

Tears can't stop flowing when you really feel the joy from Him, and when you realise it since that it had all been prepared, since the start, since...you thought everything will be perfect and happy, since you never knew that many years later you will face so much trials and tribulations in your life..He had plan for people to support you, all these while. They are the right people, and they are always close to me at the right time, they are the most reachable & will understand what I am going through type of person at different time and space I am in. ;)

Again, if you say it's coincidence, then I have too many coincidences in my life. Amen!

******

Today was a nice day of work again. Me and Trix went to check in Dato's room at Sunway hotel. I was naughty, planned to see the room first. Hey, I'm just trying to make sure his room is okay. :P But then, the room is not set up yet so we can't see. Hmp.

Later on I followed her to meet our client. Nice chat. Presented her all the EPAs and press coverage and all. Blablabla.
Ok I learned some stuffs on handling a better invoice presentation la.
But no free vitagen, the fridge was empty. :(

Then oh shoot. I just got to know, Dato's flight canceled!!! So tomorrow's interview at TV2 lack of Dato already, good that we still have Prof Chris Boyle. If now is 10pm, I would surely sneak into the room with Trix and sleep there a night so tomorrow we don't have to wake up so early!

I got to sleep now, I've to wake up at 6 tomorrow!!!!!

My Breakfast This Morning Was That Hot Guy :P

I want to shout: "EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!"

You know what? You know what??????

Today I was late when I came out of house because I misplaced my housekey! Then I search for it up and down.

Okay..Fine.

Who knows at the time I got to my car, HE IS ALSO THERE, HE JUST REACH HIS CAR TOO!!!!!!!

He always does reverse parking and I park the normal way. So you know, I get to see his face when I am putting my laptop into my boot. So yeng la, he sat there adjusting his tie~ *drop dead gorgeous*

Then when I got into my car he's still not leaving. No wonder, he was adjusting his hair. T_T Yeah, his hair very politely yeng, just the type I like. WAHAHAHA.

Hahaha we got out at the same time and rupa-rupanya we took the same road! I think he's going to work? He wore so formal today and he always brings a laptop. Anyway, later on he went straight and I terpaksa turn left to Sunway. :(

Why I haven't met him on the way to work since last month but only starting of this week la?

I'm so like a stalker.

Break Up + Hot Guy + Work + Korea

Just read a passage.

Break ups happen every time, everywhere.
Often it is so helpless, you had no choice.
But you can't blame anyone.
You have to just accept that they are not in the same world as you are already.
Be it it's in term of wealth, or dreams, or interest, or perspectives.
When they found the one who can provide them what they want, be it sharing the same dreams, or helping them in achieving things together, or having the same interest and doing it together, or giving each other the support they want, or whatever which they will feel better to be with....they've move on to another world.

You can only sigh that you are not fit into their world, anymore.

******

Anyway, this morning I saw him again! That lengzai who always park beside me at my condominium. Yeah, our parking lots are side by side.

Many times we reach home together, but he just doesn't wants to get down the car, not until I enter the elevator. I think he just don't want to take the same elevator up with me. WHY? Am I scary or what?

However, today was the first time we went out together. I went to my car first and was starting off, drinking my yogurt before I pushed in my gear. And he came~to his car. He's sooooooooooooooooo lengzai man. I can see he was shock to see me though.*drop dead gorgeous* Maybe he didn't expect that I'll be in the car so he was shock. :P

Once again, when will he get down the car the same time as me la for heaven's sake. He always reach the same time and then just wait in the car not wanting to get down. I think one day I shall also just wait in the car and see who gets down first. :P

******

Work is still good as usual. I surely miss there. It's a mix feeling knowing that I'll be leaving next week already. Although I can still work for another week more there, but I would prefer to have a rest at home and spend more time with mom.

26th is my last day. 26th is not a good day either. So many people is leaving on that day, why? And my bro is leaving on the 27th. :(

I should fly to somewhere too. Hmmm.. I want someone to accompany me to Singapore~~~~That day Nick and the rest were still talking about going down to Singapore, when la...

******

I think my koreanish me is too revealing?

Today Guo Yi actually msned me and ask me what I want from Korea because he's at Incheon.

I felt so weird because we are not close friend at all and we certainly don't know each other much at all and he knew I'm all crazy over korean stuffs, especially Big Bang. o.O

Then Hui Ying also asked me what I want from Korea since she'll be going there soon.

Then Ley Yee also asked me what I want from Korea since he'll be going there also....

But you know what. I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING I WANT.

I thought of CDs..but it's like, not really what I want. I also don't know. Ah, I know. Bring me to Korea. :P

No worries, I'll go there myself one day and buy what I want.

Do You Love Presents?

Ok. That sounds like a very stupid question. Who doesn't love presents?

So if you love presents, what type of presents do you like?

Today as I was lying on my bed looking around my room, I realised I love sentimental presents.
A lot of my presents are decorative items, encouraging bookmarks, or else hand made stuffs, or else CDs, or books or something not that practical, but they are all always supportive to me. Something which I always smile when I look at it.

I like birthday cards with lots of messages in it.
I like letters.
I like those big big bottles with messages written all over it.
I like song dedications.
I like books of lyrics.
I like picture stories.
I like books.
I like a treat to MPO, or a stage musical, or an art gallery, or what I always wanted: to the NBA competitions :P
I like pictures, more pictures.

See, I'm don't ask for practical presents like clothing, accessories, make ups, gadgets, or whatever. Plus, I'm not a brand person. I don't go "Yeah I got a Gucci bag", or "Yeah my friend bought me a CK perfume" or even "He got me a Bobby Brown concealer~"..

Is it bad? Being not practical or realistic? Perhaps I'll ask for those when I'm more older?

Well, I don't know about the future.
But I know myself.
I like presents which brings sentimental values.
Something which leaves memories.

What I want to say is : MY BIRTHDAY IS COMING REAL SOON. :P

No Station One, Jaya One :P

Today I went to yamcha with my old form 6 gang.

So sorry to Dao that I was on the phone and he can't call through for a long time since he had reached. So innocent of me that once I hung up and he called, I thought "Wah timing so right, I hung up you reach already!". And stupidly, it's because he's already waiting and calling. Oops. Paiseh.

Dao & Ley Yee's caller ringtone is Lee Sheng Jie's "Wei Ni Xie Shi". It's always nice to hear that ringtone. I only hear that less than 20 times a year. Because we only get to meet during sem breaks. I put that for the 2 of them because the 2 of them are lyricist and music composers, suits them.

Anyway, then we went to Station One to meet the rest. So happy to see them, Brenda, Chiyar Lock, Sze, Fang Yee and of course, Ley Yee.

The liveband was too loud and the singers were too loud...fortunately good singers. So we had to shout. Judging that I speak the most = shout the most = my throat is so pain right now. Even worst compared to after Sing K session.

I felt a bit embarassed that Sze and Dao also knew I kept on emphasizing I wasn't into Zac Efron during HSM...Hehe. Ok ok.

Ley Yee bought stuffs for us from his Thailand trip. I picked a Star key chain! Yay~ Thanks so much.

After a great catch up it was time to go back...Thanks to my other driver, Ley Yee for sending me home~ So I get to play at friday night tonight. Me and Sze was saying "This is the first Friday we have friday night plans, since LI!". Yeah true, I think it's my first yam cha night. Hahaha. Oh my gosh it reminds me how long I've ever really let down my hair.

No worries, Carrie Island is waiting. Hehehe.

Thanks old pals. We should find a better place. Let's go to that Paramount place next time.

Chris Daughtry Woke Me Up~

I love Chris Daughtry~ Today I drove and listened to his songs on my mp3 again and I actually parked and listen til the end then only decided to get down off the car - so I was late for work. ;P
And ya his songs wake me up from the sleepy state~ ^^

Over You
Now that it’s all said and done
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down
Like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath
I fell too far, was in way too deep
Guess I let you get the best of meeee

(Chorus)
Well I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, time agooo!
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over
I’m finally gettin’ better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you!!!
(End Chorus)

You took a hammer to these walls
Dragged the memories down the hall
Packed your bags and walked away
There was nothing I could say,
And when you slammed the front door shut
A lot of other’s opened up
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for meee

(Chorus)
Well I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, time agooo!
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over
I’m finally getting’ better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you!!!
(End Chorus)

I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, long time agooo
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you

And I never saw it coming
I should have started running
I’m finally getting better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
And I got over you!!!
And I got over you!!!
And I got over you!!!

The day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you…

Home
I'm staring out into the night
And trying to hide the pain
I'm going to the place where love
can feel but they dont live the cost of fame
In pain it feels a different kind of pain
I'm going home to the place where I belong
where your love has always been enough for me
I'm running from you know I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
The miles are getting longer it seems
The closer I get to you.... babe
And I've always been the best man and friend for you
To love and make true and I dont know why
You always seem to give me another try
I'm going home
To the place where I belong
Where your love has always been good enough for me
I'm running from you know I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
Be careful what you wish for
cause you just might get it all
you just might get it all and then some you dont want
be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
I'm going home to the place where I belong
Where your love has always been enough for me
And I'm running from.. you know I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me'
But these places and these faces are getting old
But these places and these faces are getting old
I'm going home
I'm going home

Thanks people. :)

So many encounters on different things with different people of different cliques these few days.

Ming was great as ever, we went for movies and chatted like forever. Things always are great when we're both together, laughing away.

Gary my team mate is really funny. He has really wacky ideas. I learn some marketing stuffs from him and yea, we both like basketball! I also like other interns, we all work out things together pretty good when it comes to brainstorming. And they always make me happy, Hector with his laughs and Alice with her kisses. I know all of us can be quite good friends.

I like my colleagues. They help us alot. I like working with Trix and am so glad to be placed under her since the first day. I know I'll surely miss them when my internship ends. All of them are so nice in their own way. I like my internship too. The things we do and the things I learn. I like our meetings when Paul and Stephen are there. Can listen and learn.

Thanks to Neil, Michelle and Geralynn for their supports, help and feedbacks. My press kit is upgrading to version 4 now. :P Things done repetitively will bring better result, I believe, when it's done repetitively with improvement each time.

I also want to say TQ to someone who gives me constructive opinions and share his experience on different things, on life, on work, on people...And to wake me up! Thanks Alan!

On and off, I enjoy short quality chats with David. Thanks to internet everything is so near to me. I hope things go well for you overthere and thank you for always keeping me in your prayers.

Ning invited me to FGA KL. Thanks so much for the invitation. :) I think it comes in the right time.

Siew Wei asked for another MPO or a movie. Yeah I miss her. Shall find her because I have so many things to share with her!

Yoga club sent me a message regarding a yoga camp I think. Or is it for the university presentation? But anyway, another option for me to fill in my schedule.

Thanks to all of you who spiced up my life these 4 days. And I know it'll continue on. Hahaha.

Have you rebound before?

Something I knew from Hani and Trix, I didn't know there's such term in relationship for such situation:

"Rebound"

I thought that just exist in Basketball.

So, are you on a rebound, or were you on a rebound before?

I still love rebound as in basketball, I catch a lot of rebounds. I was a good Centre. Hahaha.

Just hope I don't catch being as a rebound in a relationship.
Hmm, actually I don't mind, if he's one of my dream guys, like So Yi Jung. :P

The Highway of Life

Life is a highway
A long winded road
Twisted around the fingers of our actions
Leading down the lines of what we want
We drive along the ones we love
Bring the others
On a wild ride

Along the highway of life, there are bound to be some bumps on the road.
...along with crater-sized potholes, backed-up construction traffic, and that one jerk who always cuts you off.

But anyway, you'll get through it.

Internship Week 6 Day 2 : Restrees + Brainstorm + Terminator

Today is another nice day of work.

1. Lunch
We went over to the newly open restaurant called Restrees. Apparently the name tells it all, somewhere to rest..perhaps with Trees, you thought? Well I don't know, but I think they are going the environmental way since they had a poster on saving Trees. :P The food was ok, I ordered Nasi Lemak, the sambal was totally not pedas. Gary, Hector, Sest Nee and I already ordered extra sambal but still not pedas enough.

2. Brainstorm
Today we 6 interns discussed and brainstormed together for ideas for this coming Thur's brainstorm session for NMM 2010. We shared all of our ideas and combined it together to present as one. It was nice. Long time since I ever really brainstorm. Can't wait for this thursday. Good to have Gary with us, a marketing brain. Learned something from him at least! The rest were also nice with their ideas too.

3. Terminator Salvation
Hsieng Loong called few of us to watch Terminator. First time driving to Summit. I've never drove to Summit before. Fortunately thanks to Trix I get to reach home, and thanks to HL for checking out where am I. And thanks to the rest for a nice movie!

Anyway, Terminator was still a bit blurry for me. I kinda forgot the previous stories. Thanks to Sue Fei for explaining to us!

******

I reached home just to find that my hamster's crib was conquered by ants, trying to snatch its food. So I reclean the cage and all.

Then took in the clothes, folded them, mopped the floor, and then finally took a bath.

I'm going to set up my second cupboard. I just finished my first one last night and am very satisfied with it.

17 Again!

Watching '17 again' was a blessing to me, tonight. :) For some lesson to remember in life.

Anyway, I love Zac Efron!!!

Don't get me wrong, I didn't love him during High School Musical, I was not, I was totally not attracted to him or obsessed with at all.

But I went so crazy over him in '17 Again'. Probably first was the storyline itself is good, next, it was funny and it really did make me happy and laughing the whole way through, last but not least, HE'S JUST TOO GOOD TO BE IN THAT ROLE. Oh yeah, and the message of the movie, the message. :) Don't get me? Watch yourself.

Oh gosh, Ming was right, I'm still in the movie..I can't get off.

I want to see another time, in the cinemas!

Who wants to see it with me???

It's going down soon!!!! :(

A Joke

Apart from a great sermon, today I heard a nice joke from Pastor Chris:

" I have 5 kids. But I only wanted 2. My friends always ask me : 'So you like kids very much eh?'. But I told them, 'No, I love my wife very much."

Life is always so much more better sitting in there. :)
A place to rest, rejoice, and listen. Not to forget, communicate. Amen.

I'm thinking of going for MNL or BD.

Have You Ever?

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for the words
to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start


Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all of your life
You'd do just about anything to
look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one
you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't
give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for the
day when they will care

What do I got to do to get you in my arms baby
What do I got to say to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Cuz baby I can't sleep

Good songs to dedicate

I love listening to songs, and to their lyrics in particular. Good lyrics with great melody and arrangement makes me cry, even while I'm driving.

Some nice songs to dedicate to the one you love:

1. Westlife - I do
2. Boyzone - Everyday I love you
   
3. Boyzone - Love me for a reason
   
4. Boyzone - Can I hold you tonight
5. Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
6. Backstreetboys - As long as you love me
7. Boyz2men - One sweet day
8. Secondhand serenade - Fall for you

Songs are really great to move someone, or to just tell someone how you feel.
Just choose the right song, the song which the lyrics are exactly what you want to tell, and dedicate it. That simple. :)

"I do" is soooooooooooooooooooooo touching.
Can I have that sung by my fiancee on stage during my wedding ceremony???
Because that's what I want to hear, every word of it. Of course, sincerely by him.
Ok, wait till I get a fiancee first, I'll ask him to do that. :P

How to Start a Fight?

Apart from my family members, I never fought or quarreled with other people, especially people I really care.

It's because I don't know how to.

Sometimes I wanted so badly but I just don't know how to so i just forget it.

I think I inherited from my mom, the genes of persevering with people, with things you can't get.

However, accumulation of these will surely one day explode if it's still not taken care of, and when it explodes, it's just like World War 2, everything is in chaos, broken.

How to start a fight if you want to? Teach me. But I don't think I'll learn well.

Nevertheless, I'm a professional in giving cold wars. No wonder, you can't master both well.

Internship Week 5 Day 4 - I found another source of entertainment

Woohoohoo...As all of you know, my bro bought me an mp3 player for my a-pek Wira, or more welknown as "Ah BEG" since the car plate first 3 letters are "BEG".

But all my songs are still in my externals, and I have no updated latest english songs which I love.

No fear, today Hector saved my day~~ WOOHOO~~~

Just before leaving the office, I remembered Hector is also very good with songs and all since the few of us chat about it along the way to JB. So I asked for songs and he has LOADS...I copy copy copy copy~~~He also have few korean soundtracks, so I COPY~~~

Yay~ And the first time I drove home back so slow, enjoy songs in my car. I was sooooooooooooo happy....I kept smiling all the way, especially when I heard those old songs I love, especially old korean songs from Yoo Hee The Witch drama~

You can't imagine how happy I was man..

All right, upnext was even crazier, he has ANIME and DRAMA~~Yay~~~ I am so going to copy from him, the source of entertainment~~~ :P His laptop background is my favourite Slamdunk player which I noticed the first day he started work - MITSUI. I love Mitsui the 3 pointer.

^^

It's been a very long time since I always copy songs or drama from others.
And while driving back I thought of someone.
A person who always burn dramas for me.
Someone who downloads soundtracks and burns for me eventhough I didn't ask for it.
Someone who..downloaded and burned the whole drama which was airing on tv (and I was frantically chasing it every night at home), just to get me out to treat me dinner.
I like people helping me to download things I like and burn them for me in a cd.

Where are you now, and how are you doing?

***

Anyway, I can't wait to get back into my car tomorrow morning.

I've Been To Paradise

Click HERE.

I know where's that place.
I actually been there.
O.m.g.

It's the jetty at Pulau Tiga.

See how marvellous a great photographer with a great camera can do....*faints*

Sze, Pey, Yee, Harish, We've been there man...

梁文音 : 最幸福的事

This is like the best chinese MV ever to me, at least the one which so far made me cried like MAD.

I wasn't a fan of her. But the starting of the MV caught my attention, with just one simple 'road sign'.

I really did heart wrenched me. Especially til the end. Have a look, I love the concept of this MV.



So, was it meaningful?
I started with tears, and then when I look at the lyrics I started weeping, and she sings and cries as well with so much feeling, which made me crying like mad, tears flowing like a river, especially at the END.

I know why she can potray the song so great, because she is an orphan in real life. :)

Cheers.

I'm attractive.

Last saturday was Alex wedding. It was really quite fun in the morning with those games and all, the normal chinese culture. I love the flowers. Eventhough it's fake, it still looks nice anyway, who cares whether it's real or not, at the end of the day, you still throw it away..

Alex and Su Yee in Uncle Beng Chuan's sports car, as the wedding car~ Wuu huu, so cool and yeng.

Okay okay let me show you the night itself. It was at a small friendly restaurant hall, LiDo Hall at Sitiawan. Sitiawan is a small town, but having such a hall is already sufficient enough. Most importantly, everyone is happy, and food is nice. The food was indeed delicious ^^
Alex giving his thank you speech. I love the wedding as there were not much speeches from too many people. And the food was once served when the couple arrived, so we didn't have to starve~ :D Well I don't mind lots of speeches, just do it while we are eating, not before the food is served.

There it goes, the drinking session.

This is our table~ Macamlah had fun drinking pula.

Su Yee the bride, me and ming.

Few lovely cousins on this table~ Hehehe. :)

We had a great philipino couple performing on stage for us.
It was good enough.
Best thing is she knew how to entertain us too.

But the greatest thing was nevertheless, our lovely mommies.

They actually, went up straight and sing with the singer.

My another aunty was also a very hot and crazy one, look:

So, it too runs in our genes:

We went crazy too:

That's my mom on stage with the mic.You know I really had no idea how all of them suddenly just walked up onto the stage.
They are professionals in impromtu and grabbing the limelight. :p
They are just marvellous in entertaining and making everything greater.

One taking over the stage:

Few taking over the stage:

Chaos:

The young ones were still snapping pictures:

But then later we joined in the fun too:

Our mothers are crazy, funny, and famous.

Pictures proved it.

Now you can't deny the fact that I'm also crazy, fun, famous, and attractive.

Why?

It runs in our family.

It runs in our genes.

It runs in ME.

*TIRED*

Wish Alex and Su Yee happiness of all time.
Thanks for such a great wedding dinner.
^^

Internship Week 5 Day 2

Dear all, it's been a long time since I updated on my internship. It was very busy, I finally had time now since that the main launch is over. Next will just be the roadshows at Penang, Kuantan, JB and Sunway...in which all.......I don't get to go. :( Because my term will end. I think I am still available for Penang?

Today Trix was so relieved after her whole big event has ended. Hector even said: "Her laugh for the past 3 weeks all added up also can't beat today's tota." Hahaha.

Today's lunch was great. First time eating in such a big group, more than ten. We went to eat at Buffalo. Very affordable Western + Local cuisine restaurant. Please don't order the Lou Shu Fan, a warning from me. :P

There were a lot of laughter, jokes, and relaxing chat today. No stress on work or something similar to that. Can see everyone was really enjoying the lunch, not like previously we need to rush to the hawker centre, or da bao back to eat so as to finish up work fast.

I think that's the fun when the heavy loads ended. :)

***

However I missed out one article for the client today. My bad. How fate likes to play with me, huh? I flipped through the whole Star of May31st, so as to not missing out any small column of coverage of that event. There was one big one at Fit4Life, and then I thought it's just that. Who knows, there was a small coverage at Star Foto on May 30th.............GRRRRRRRRRRRR......So I missed that out, I think my work performance sure downgraded, such small simple things.

***

A Friend Indeed

It was a nice chat. As usual, non stop of sharing and me flooding my comments whenever he permits it.

It's funny how friendship can grow, especially when one is further distant away. Sometimes time and space actually strengthens it.

We have different time frame, and totally at 2 different countries. We seldom talk. But once IM starts, it's always a quality talk. Just a mere short while, but it makes a total difference, assuring me again that this friend is always there to support and help, vice versa.

Someone who will come to me for my valuable comments on BGR stuffs. :P
Someone I will go to when I need the most important support of all - spiritual support.

A friend indeed. :)

Whenever you're back, we'll always have a long good chat over a cup of Starbucks, deal.
