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。
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 ;)
Rating: 7/10
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!

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.
It's 30th anniversary of Pacman, and this cool Google went and create a game at its frontpage.
Just go to www.google.com and click on "Insert Coin" to start the game.
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.
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.
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
I don't know what to say.
This 10 year old kid is simply amazing for his version of Lady Gaga's Paparazzi.
That earned him a phone call from Lady Gaga herself, to wish him luck.

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!
If you need funding in your area's school or for the development.
Pray for by-election.
You won't be disappointed by the federal government's generosity.
I think appreciation is a basic human courtesy.
When people offer - know your rights.
You have the rights to accept, but you definitely have the rights to reject.
When you accept, do appreciate as people, to a certain extend, would expect something in return when they give.
If you think that the person has some agenda while offering you something - if you are not ready to appreciate and if you don't like the person, the simplest thing to do is, to reject.
It's all about, doing the right thing from the first step.
It is worse, if you give person the hope of putting in emotion on you - for a possible relationship.
As long as there's no clear answer, you'll leave the person hanging.
Why waste time for both of the parties, if you think you are not ready?
Because there's a high possibilities that the person who gives, would come back and seek for some 'respond' from you.
It's not about "I'm afraid I would hurt the person, if I reject him/her"
It's better to hurt him/her (and stop giving hope) on the first day itself, rather than dragging for months, only tell him/her that 'I really think I'm not ready'.
Being hurt on day 1 vs Being hurt after few months of putting in emotion - which one do you think that will give greater impact?
Therefore, dare to reject for the right reason - that's the way people would appreciate you, at the end of the day.
Even doing the charity is better - people would smile at you, thank you - and you don't need to put in emotion and hoping for return.
I think I've mentioned many times - human won't change.
My friend gave a rather interesting statement:
Human, after 21 years old, won't change much.
Even if they have changed, but when they're facing the stressed situation - the original them would appear again.
Latest research shows that (ya, we always have 'latest research')
We should sleep 6-8 hours, to reduce the risk of likeliness to 'die early'.
Sleeping less than 5 hours is definitely a no no.

I was searching some MV and found some little stories of this MV, and some non-closely related love story
Michael Bublé wrote this song for his fiancée, an Argentinian model - who was also featured in the MV.
Then, on Vimeo, I saw another guy created an MV based on the same song, to tell his feeling towards a girl, after knowing each other for 5 months:
Back then, they hadn't met in real life because the guy stays in west coast and the girl stayed in east coast. (Hence the song, "Haven't Met You Yet")
Almost month later, the girl responded with an MV based on Mariah Carey's song "All I Want for Christmas is You"
Two days later, i.e. 09/12/09, the girl made a surprise appearance in the airport, and they've started dating since then.
So seems like, the guy had finally met her, and she had the guy for her Christmas.
P/S: Two of the latter videos were shot with Canon 7D - it's superb quality I must stress.
Spiderman was checking the bag for stolen item
It's a real story happened in Australia, during the International Free Comic Day
Highlights:
- The Spiderman "leap" into action, confront the shoplifter who had slipped a AU$160 (£97) X-Men book into his bag.
- A group of Jedi knights blocked the door to prevent the thief from escaping
- These group of 'superhero' greeted the police as 'they were' when police forces arrived.

As time goes by,
The things you see
Will be clearer
The direction ahead -
You'll suddenly realise
It's no longer as complicated as used to be
The confusion
Was merely illusion that you created
To try to make yourself feel better
But you felt wrong
Because your instincts tell you that there's something wrong
Just that you were clueless of what are those
Rather than
Sitting here making assumption and speculation
On my own
I'll choose to
Confront
With bravery
Whatever the outcome
It might be
At least I've tried
With that
I shall rest the case
With no regrets
