昨晚忽然有靈感，寫出了這篇短篇故事：

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

過了五十年，他終於製造出了時光機，能讓她回到過去。

她步上時光機之前，很興奮地對他說：

等我完成了心願，我馬上回來找你。你就等那麼一下而已。

他說：你完成了心願，你的人生也會改變了。

我們也 不可能見面了。

她說：不會的，我心裡有你，這種感覺，是沒那麼容易毀滅的。

他說：好吧，能讓你開心，當然是值得一試的，不過，你能回去完成心願後，再把這個字條交給二十五年前的我嗎？

她說：好啊，那麼，你就得晚點才能見到我了，你以為我是超人阿，要休息也。

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

果然，完成了心願後，男女的記憶，都變了，他們也變得，不曾相見了。

唯一沒變的，是她手上的字條。

字條上寫著要送去的地址與年份，也寫著 - "一定要送去!"

女生按着資料，用時光機去到一個男生的家。

那男生，也正在製造着時光機。

兩個人，在本來以後的世界，是相愛的。

可是，現在，他們卻像陌生人一樣的打招呼。

女：你好，你在做著什麼啊？我也有這架東西也，只是我不知道它是什麼。我只是按照說明書，忽然間可以來到這裡。

男：嗨，你好，呃，這是時光機，我已造了25年都還沒造好。

女：啊？真的哦，我是過來傳這個字條給你的。

男：哦好。

女：你，就一直在做這個東西嗎？

男：是啊，我都有個心願，就是想回到未來，看這個時光機能為我做些什麼，看我活得怎樣。

男的看了字條，對女生說：

不過，我覺得，這樣子，對很多人都不公平，我們，去吃個午餐，如何？

女：好啊。

他們從此就這樣認識，拍拖，到結婚。

字條上寫的是

"傳這個字條給你的，是你的真愛，你別再浪費時間，研究時光機了"

"你已經浪費了25年，沒得愛她"

I think Malaysians are nowadays quite mature, if not much more mature than they are - 10 years ago.

So if you wanna say that the country's security will be affected by some opinion on air - hello,

I think those who think that national security has been compromised - I think they deserve to watch more Hollywood movie to see the real meaning of 'national security compromisation'

Whatever :)

More like, a lesson of the day - I'm reading an article about people management, and found this interesting, especially for my work:

“If you should try to understand me
Through the eyes of your experiences,
Your only understanding will be
Misunderstanding.
For we have walked different paths
And have known different fears.
And that which brings you laughter just
Might bring me tears.

So if you can learn to accept me
And the strange things I say and do,
Maybe through your acceptance
You will gain understanding.”

I pressed a reset button.

And pffffffffffffffffffffft

All the things are gone forever.

Emoody & Sebastian on the way to airport.

For your information, Sebastian is now in New Zealand.

As his brother, of course I wish him all the best - cos he's gonna celebrate his birthday alone in New Zealand.

Oh I mean he's gonna have fun - cos I haven't been to New Zealand before. :-3

So my sister must be feeling very cold now.

But no matter what, all the best to her to make herself used to the new environment.

And most importantly, keep warm and don't make herself starving.

Take care!

Whatever it is, this monster looks comical to me.

With teeth that is longer than your head - no wonder it ate other whales back in the ancient time.

It ended with good news.

So I hope, I want, I wish to end the second half year, even better!

So this bear is already 2 years old.

He tried to be funny but he's all the time moody.
But he's been happy for the past two years.
Cos with my sunshine smile, everybody will be happy :)

For my sister ;)

It's a pity that this band no longer exists.

Seriously, you've gotta watch till the last part - this guy is a gem.

Verdict: Unbeatable script with unbeatable 'performances' from all the toys!

The movie started with Hollywood-grade scene - first thing that worth the movie ticket

The movie has a lot of funny scenes - second thing that worth the movie ticket.

The movie has unpredictable, or to be at least, unexpected ending - third thing that worth the movie ticket

The movie teaches you on how to appreciate the things that belong to you - if you can't take care of it, give it to someone who could - fourth thing that worth the ticket

The movie teaches us that, kind looking people are not necessarily kind (here I mean the strawberry flavor bear) - fifth thing that worth the ticket

This movie is better than Toy Story 1 & Toy Story 2 - sixth thing that worth the ticket

This movie has a great ending - seventh thing that worth the ticket.

So when I saw the birthday cake for Callum, my first impression was 'this is inspired by 1Malaysia logo'

But the cake maker said she wasn't inspired by that logo.

Instead, some argued that, I was the one who's brainwashed by 1Malaysia concept.

No, I'm not.

And to be frank, I thought the idea was quite.. erm... amusing :)

Don't ask me why - if you follow the news in Malaysia ever since this idea was launched - you'll know what I mean.

Btw, Happy Birthday, Callum!

The cute thing about our PM is that...

He's good in PR.

Ever since he's a PM, he's been running in the country, checking how's the people living, shaking hands with people.

And giving speech at the by-elections

What's the latest?

He bought a cat and asked the Malaysian to name after it.

It's a bit of the king's style in those days, but well,

He is cute.

(What about running the country?)

So there are talks to abolish these two exams.

My question: What are the motivations for the student to study?

I mean, exam serves as the benchmark for the things you had learned.

I guess these people got no better things to do, rather to spend time of making funny changes, rather than fixing some screwed up systems.

Ha!

And this Ean is really talented.

Yesterday he was able to speak like Pinoy,

today he's able to speak like those Chinese lorry driver, who can't wait to tow your car away.

Brilliant.

Huaaat ahhhhh!

One of those bimbo song and video you can get.

It's an old vid/song that I happened to stumble upon yesterday.

Summer feel it is :-)

It's been a while since I last blogged.

And today I returned with a message - RIP.

It's not me, but it's my friend.

I got to know about this pic just now, thru Trevor's friend, TC.

Apparently TC's colleague has my friend, in custody, but that's not all.

It's the colleague's dog's custody.

I know the relationship sounds very complicated, but the important message is:

My friend was torn in pieces already, he was "beheaded" by the dog.

So he is now RIP, which is, Rest in Pieces.

Verdict: Beautiful voice that touches your heart that has rock + sentimental + etc elements in it.

Tracklisting:
1. "Awakenings" (4:08)
2. "Illusions of Bliss" (3:53)
3. "Loving You is Easy" (3:03)
4. "Changes" (3:43)
5. "Forgiveness" (3:49)
6. "Rivers of Love" (3:54)
7. "Love Come" (3:33)

12. "Bring on the Wonder" (2:54)
13. "Love Come (Piano Version)" (4:04)

*Bold-italic song titles indicates my favorites

This is a very good package - in a CD.

Sarah's voice is still as beautiful, and this album - sounds to me, it's like a British artist instead of an American (she's Canadian, I know, but they are in similar league).

Yep, it reminds me of Dido, too.

The album started with an energetic "Awakening", it's a fast song, as if someone is rushing (music) and her voice is like jumping here and there/ fading in and out thru out the whole music.

(Yes, above is a totally random statement, so you go figure out the music to feel it yourself)

The second song, "Illusion of Bliss" - reminds me of Bee Gees, somehow. Just replace Bee Gees' voice and you can call it a Bee Gees song :P

Third song - it's like a Britpop, my favorite :)
Fourth song - A bit jazzy a bit of Britpop and her signature voice, of course

(I'm a bit lazy to write the rest) I've gotta tell you, the first 5 songs had already blown off my mind.

So it is a good album, don't expect something great like "Adia", "Building a Mystery" or "Angel" - because this is an album in different league/flavour now.

Just like you won't want to compare The Beatles' "Please Please Me" with "Abbey Road"

I hope you get what I mean :)

一路來，只要我想要，我都可以對我想關心的人，有所感應。

我可以感應到她/他開不開心。

可是，懊惱的是，當她/他不開心時，我也會感到不自在。

所以，我也不知，這種感應，是好，還是不好。

I saw an old lady, wearing white shirt, smiling at the people walking into the restaurant....

I wasn't afraid. I wasn't scared.

The time was 12.45PM.

Yes, she is Madam Kwan, the real Madam Kwan - you can see her in Pavilion's branch of Madam Kwan's restaurant.

I only got to know that recently ;)

Today

1101 and 1114

Huaaat ahhhhh!

前天我妹妹工作很晚，凌晨三時才回到家。
車泊好之後，下車時看見斜對面屋子有個身穿白衣的光頭伯伯瞇著眼對著她微笑。

我妹妹怕了，然後看了看車的望後鏡-那個老伯伯站著的位置並沒有人影

我妹妹趕快衝進家裡。

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

隔天，我爸爸問了我婆婆和舅公，他們都說是拿督公現身。

我爸爸看了看那間屋子，屋子庭院果然安置了拿督公

We're often asked who we are.

Instead of telling 'I'm a Malaysian', we would normally tell "I'm a Chinese" "He's a Malay" "She's an Indian"

But personally, I think that we should instead, just tell the fact.

The fact is:

I'm a Malaysian (the first fact that you can't deny, it's on my IC)
and
I'm a Chinese descendant (the second fact that many foreigners won't care much)

I'm not a Chinese as I'm not born in China, and of course, without a Chinese citizenship.

Despite busy with work, here comes the 'real word' （真字） of the day

1088

Huaaat ahhhhh!

So this are the numbers of the day.

Go buy iBox RM1 ' pao' is the minimum you can go, no?

Tomorrow marks 1 year anniversary of no update of my dad's 4D blog.

Just FYI :)

I believe in taking a positive attitude toward the world. My hope still is to leave the world a little bit better than when I got here. ~Jim Henson

In the past few weeks, we know that we have unfortunate things happening around the world.

But as I'm able to blog here, I know that I am fortunate to do it.

And I should appreciate.

I was on my way to visit my friend, who fell sick.

As usual, I took photo, randomly.

I love the photo above (and of course, my C901 phone) and suddenly, I had the inspiration about life lesson with the two photos below:


Sometimes, life is like a straight road, a highway.

More than often, it's like options, making us don't know what to do.

But if you are sure of your destination - you'll find your way no matter how complicated the roads are.

Apparently, exercising after a pint of beer wasn't a good idea.

I felt very very tired at that point of time.

If you don't believe me - try it next time :P

If this fella can do something great, why can't we?

This is an old news, via BBC

After listening to the first track, I pre-ordered the CD/DVD - for a fan who has yet to watch their live performance, this is the only thing I could afford :P

Verdict: Finally, Shrek has come to an end

I'm not a particular big fan of Shrek, BUT I like the way the movie was made, using the animation.

What I'm trying to say, they tried 'film' the scene with animation - that's the part when you feel 'wow, there's this slow-mo in animation!'

Ok, Shrek is still Shrek - the trademark won't run away.

It still tries to turn the fairy tale upside down.

Graphic is good and the joke is good.

But I feel tired for Shrek, after 3 episodes, so I felt that this is a good finale.

It's still a 'happily ever after' kind of fairy tale but I somehow felt funny that the ending shares some similarities with Prince of Persia.

Go watch it and have a good laugh.

Rating: 6.5/10

Verdict: While the idea is not that bad, the action was quite fun in some scene - it's just yet another action movie after all.

I heard of the anticipation of my friends and colleague about this movie.

I think it's partially because of the childhood game that they and I had played, seen below:


Yes, I'm still very much amazed with the game and would play it if I have a chance to.

Back to the movie, the idea was not bad - you can go back to the time you want - with some limitation of course.

The chick was hot (definitely hot)

But the interesting part (of the action scene) that I could remember was the guy fleeing in market, and the ostrich racing.

I don't know why, don't ask me. :P

All in all, I'd say it's just yet another action movie - it's not the type you would really remember after a while.

Rating: 5.5/10

In almost past one week, I would wake up at around 4AM for no reason.

Guess too many things that I've been worrying lately.

There are things that I just realised that, I have over-worried.

These few days, I'll attempt to see if I can 'reduce' the worries that was unnecessary.

I'm glad that, in a way, I'm given a chance to do so.

Two nights ago, I had a dream.

I was in the middle of a dried lake - with a river further away (with water, of course)

I asked the villager what happened - he put a stick deep into the ground, took it out and tasted the 'mineral' at the bottom of the stick.

He said 'it's not that salty anymore'

Then he ran away.

A while after that, I saw water flooding the dried lake.

So the village didn't have drought problem - the villager wanted to solve the 'salty' problem.

He created a dam to first dry up the lake, then only solve the problem.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Analysis: Totally no idea what was the dream about, at all.

So of those pre-review activities - a lot of observation, a lot of findings.

But all I can say is that these people should have come years ago, not before the aud it.

What they are doing now seems like they're helping us.

But in reality, it merely looks like they're doing damage control.

So you'll know what is needed when the situation goes worse.

So, IBM holds 1/3 of the world's TOP500 supercomputer.

Full details here

There are 5 things that have been bothering me lately.

Of 2 are career related
1 is the Gunung Tahan trip - I still have doubt if I can tahan during that time
1 is a family matter
1 is a personal matter.

Call me crazy or what, I've been putting a lot of priority (i.e. 優先權） on the personal matter.

A lot needs to be done.

不過，我只能說，此時此刻，心情踏實了很多。

Oh, can't be more grateful that Zmin helped me to find this song!

Mucha gracias!

I didn't know this song can be an inspiration.

Love itself is an inspiration.

And love is, wonderful.

This is a love song,
A,
Sad love song.

But my sis, me, her friends like it.

Hence I share (limited time only)

Lyrics:
I wish you bluebirds in the spring

To give your heart a song to sing

And then a kiss, but more than this

I wish you love

And in July a lemonade

To cool you in some leafy glade

I wish you health

And more than wealth

I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree

That you and I could never be

So with my best

My very best

I set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm

A cozy fire to keep you warm

But most of all when snowflakes fall

I wish you love

But most of all when snowflakes fall

I wish you love

You wouldn't wanna know how much stresses I've been going thru in the past one month.

Apart from the first 4 months of stresses I had experienced when I started this job - this past one month, and I guess, the coming 2 months' stresses will be mega.

Whatever it is, work is work.

I'm glad that there is life after work - though it isn't long, but I still appreciate the moment that I have, i.e. to chat with someone that I feel... interesting.

Verdict: This movie still delivers, in a way.

Ops, I forgot to put up the review of this movie.

Basically, many people told me that this movie isn't worth the watch.

I had watched and I can say - don't put too much of high expectation.

A lot of things you've seen are already featured in the first episode - but since you are watching Iron Man 2, you don't expect things like Platinum Man, right?

That's my point here - you are watching the next installment of the comic superhero - so it'll still be the Iron Man.

Story wise, it's quite straight forward and it's very comical like.

There are funny scene, there are funny jokes - just like first episode.

But if you expect to find some new idea out of Iron Man 2, compared to the time you watched Iron Man - I'd suggest you to wait for the movie like... Thor.

Oh, it was featured in the movie, in a way ;)

When motivation is down,
The positive Aura will leave.

I need positive Aura,
So I'll need to bring up my motivation, with some other things.

Just use this positive affirmation in daily life, to raise your aura

Let my aura reflect gratitude, loyalty, and commitment to myself, those around me and my Creator.

Just look at the sky above,
Sometimes you'll feel that,
The Creator is really great.

I saw my sis put this on her gtalk.. and I FELT IT'S SO DAMN CUTE!!!!!!!!!!

OK, calm down.

Two interesting things:
1) This is the weirdest blog title I have ever had.
2) And my friend couldn't recognise it... after a while, she said something like "oh, this is so 3D! Must wear 3D glasses only can see!"

Perhaps I'll write another blog titled -_- for that.

This is North Korean (communist) art

All the paintings featured happy citizens

But in reality, they are not

Sometimes even if we bears do not need to wear anything (yes, we prefer to be naked, unlike human) - we will make an exception to become model for human.

Emoody Sr can really be a model, after all ;)

Seems like not many people care about us.

Nobody even bother to ask where were we lately.

We were busy shooting some video and of course... some rehearsal for an upcoming song.

It'll be about environmental issue so I guess we bear, who are so into nature, can deliver the message.

Meanwhile, the video shown above will tell you how lively we bear can be ;-3

This is the part that everybody hate most:

When higher management makes decision,

they would often assume that things are in perfect world.

Often the decision made, is not aligned with reality - such as employee's real life working experience.

Then the employee will force to work towards that culture, and stay numb until they think it's no longer a problem.

But so much time were spent on unnecessary things, such as searching information.

Conclusion: It's hard to convince them, unless they really come down and feel the reality at the level.

At least I've done my part in understanding the employees, and work out a solution accordingly.

may not mean it will be appreciated accordingly.

The idea you mentioned might be interpreted as 'trying to challenge the current culture.'

Time was spent on the improvement plans needed.

Was tabled but not appreciated.

But rather, spending time in meeting discussing issues that are actually not the root cause?

Time was spent, health deteriorated.

Heart is tired, mouth has to be zipped.

Sometimes when good ideas are being banned for individual's interest,

It would mean the loss of trust, and next, the loss of employee.

And more than often, how many times when you feel the pain of higher management's decision?

One decision can change the way you work, drastically.

This is the time when people like us need to highlight, and provide the alternative/solution.

If still not accepted, next is to find someone who would.

I just feel that it's so cute!

For the full news, read it here

There are things that human won't confess.

There was something happened few months ago, which I did not reveal.

But lately, somehow when I recalled of it - I felt it's good to share the story.

Well, I felt restless after a relationship that didn't work out the way it was promised - I was hurt because I felt cheated on a promise that I was made to believe.

Restless + did not concentrate on road...

Yes, I hit a motorcyclist, with his daughter on the motorcycle.

The old man was in pain
The daughter, with bruises and she was crying for her father.

I sent them to the hospital.

The daughter was ok but the old man would need to be hospitalised.

He suffered some rib fracture.

I saw the old man and daughter suffering - I felt useless.

Because of my unhappiness from a relationship that didn't work out - I transferred my suffering to a family who were totally innocent.

I visited the old man few days later.

I felt a bit relieved cos the old man and the family were kind - they instead said thank you to me for sending the old man to the hospital.

I felt totally embarrassed.

There was another incident happened during the patient visit - the girl involved in that 'relationship', tried to call me, text me and after that, emailed me.

At that time, I felt like it's a sarcasm put on me - I was visiting a patient who suffered the unnecessary pain because of my reckless action, at the same time, the girl questioned on why I chose to move on.

The answer and lesson learned is simple -

1) Don't be selfish and
2) Do not betray your partner, or make yourself becoming a third party, because of the happiness that you could gain in short term. In long term, it's a suffering/sorrow.
3) Don't ever transfer your unhappiness to someone else, they are innocent.

The unhappiness should stop at your side.

And of course, if everybody knows how to appreciate their life, the partner's loyalty and the things around them, this world can be a happier world.

Enjoy!

It's always good to hear how people perceived on me, here's what I heard and + some of my own comments in brackets:

1) I am a person who has my very own way to look at this world (you can say, I use my own imaginary world to view in this world)
2) I'm a person who'll find/do things to make myself happy - even if I'm unhappy
3) I'm stubborn with what I think is right (Probably due to point#1 and plus that, I'm quite optimistic)


So if you read this - any comment are welcome :-)

Couldn't agree more.

This country is rotten to the core.

Call me superstitious, but I felt today's daily horoscope is very accurate - no wonder I suddenly have the omphhhh feeling (even before I read it) to complete my tasks and got my thinking a bit clearer.

This is a good time to think about where you're going and what you want to do. Your ability to tune in to your future possibilities is definitely enhanced now. If it's appropriate, share your vision with those who believe are supportive of your plans.

Chemical Brother is back!

This is their first single and I must say it's visually stunning!

That's the amount I spent yesterday.

RM400 for running shoes (I like Adizero, it's really comfortable)
RM265 for Adidas Vespa (retro and nice! I finally have a new pair of outing shoes after many years)
RM110 for my dad's hiking shirt (those climacool product)
RM175 for my sis' backpack
RM55 for short pants

Plus a Vietnamese dinner @ Vietnam Kitchen. (RM44)

Yes I'm broke.

So my friend Gary is opening a new shop that sells fruit-related products.


Congrats!

Watch the clip and decide if you need this kind of government - who will definitely help you, only if you help them.

FYI, the money they're gonna 'help' you is the Malaysian citizen + taxpayer's money.

It has never been and will never be BN's money.

Yesterday I attended my ex-primary school mate's wedding dinner

Then one of my school mate wanted to buy make up remover, I tagged along and helped her to find what she wanted.

She asked "How come you know all these?"

I said "Sometimes I followed my sister to buy these stuff and sometimes I heard a bit from her, that's how I knew"

She said "So how close are you with your sis?"

I randomly thought of one statement

"Sometimes I helped her to buy pad"

She laughed and we agreed that one line statement explained it all :P

Literally in English, it means that "Vote for BN, I'll definitely give you an RM5 million cheque on Monday, ok?"

Welcome to Malaysia - and I felt disgusted.

I don't know what to say.

When I was driving home today,
I recalled those days when I drove to my sister's previous office to pick her up.

It's in Old Klang road.

Somehow I have fond memory of that place.

Maybe it's where my grandpa stays.

And of course, visiting my grandpa & my late grandma was one thing that me and my sis looked forward to last time.

Cos my late grandma can cook good dishes, make good bakery, good dumplings, good mooncake and of course - GOOD SOUP!

It's almost 2.5 years since she had passed away - I hope she's doing well in another world.

As usual, BEP has those repetitive rhythm that could be annoying to some (yes, I don't like 'I Gotta Feeling' & "Boom Boom Pow")

But I like the 80's feel of the beat - yes I'm sure there's some reference to the 80's music.

And the cute Fergie 'voice' too.

Just to randomly tell some of the things I did one last week

I got my donor card!

Followed parents to pasar malam

And I still seriously love my C901 phone's camera.

Lunch with colleague - and I've gotta tell myself - I must order 砂煲面 next time

Met up with a friend whom I didn't meet for many months @ Daorae. This kimchi pancake isn't bad

My mum back in her 19 years old - she found the photo on her day (mother's day)

And I cooked lotus root soup for Mother's Day! She's quite ok with it!

Accompanied my friend to buy camera - Canon S90 it is.

Tried out this Uncle John burger with a friend - nice!
