Well, the most important is, know how to relax myself!!! Can't wait for my vacation as well!! HAHAHHAA!!! YEAH!! It will be a GREAT 2011!!

This time round journal to Sabah

2010-11-23T12:04:00.001+08:00

This time, it’s a really special trip back to my homeland, Sabah. Not just that had a ‘special heart surgery’ before heading back to Sabah, but my eyes’ been open wide!

Parents’ always the best! They have actually always been there wherever I was around, and during childhood time, I don’t actually realize that, thinking that they just gave me total freedom to do whatever I like then, but found out that it was my dad who actually discover me having the music talent and music sense in me! Not that I realized till today and will not realized if I don’t have the chance to have a really good chat and memories recall during this round of trip!

But for what my memories inside was that, between mom and dad, we don’t actually communicate a lot inside the house, our house is full of silence. Cause I would lock myself in my room and do my own stuff, and my parents won’t take any concern of what I am up to.

Instead, now all these silence will fades away as I do have a lot of fun and cool childhood memories inside me. Remembering how I really imagine myself playing piano in front of my study desk when I was about 7! It’s been quite some time I did that, then, my parents took the initiative to let me learn music when I was 9. And actually they are really proud of me when seeing me performing or in a competition on stage, the smile on their faces showed the satisfaction they have inside their heart!

But during my secondary time, I don’t actually felt it, I even felt that they kind of ignorant to me. And it’s all about my way, my will. But really, they let me do it my will, my way. But not until this time round, had a great time with my family, I am proud of my family! Really proud of my family!! Because they truly know what’s inside their son and secretly guide him and pull him up in all ways to ensure that their son shines!!

Writing this down is to honor my parents!! Love you mom and dad!! And really thankful for everything!!

In progress of getting healed

New year, new home, new room, new environment, new stuffs, ... everything gotta be NEW.

despite all of the SAD thing happened recently, what a 'good' memory recall...guess that this year is a real breakthrough for me, really need to face it instead of hiding all things behind.

Nowadays really trying hard to really have a real rest day, instead of just working all day long 7/24. Monday, my official rest day, and now one month has past, I've not stepped into workplace at all, at least that's a good sign for me to have a real rest no matter at home or at shopping malls. And I think that's why my body react differently nowadays, still in the midst of sickness, yet to cure, as my toxic level is too high that yet need time to process the detoxification process. Indeed, I've lost some weight from that, well, at least I'm happy! hahahaha!!

Hopefully next week will fully recover...as CNY is around the corner~!! yeah~!!

Forgiveness

2010-02-01T08:33:00.002+08:00

Recently recalled back the things that had gone real bad, and even it ruins my future life that I really find it hard to trust anyone and find a true relationship that really can hold on the rest of my life.

Thought back the incident that happened...I would just said, 'how I wish I could turn back time' and choose road B, instead of turning left, I'll choose to turn right...but the reality is that I can't. How I really wished that all of this images and memories inside my mind can be deleted instantly, but it couldn't be deleted just in a glimpse. Even after years...4-5 years, still the memories are just like fresh in the oven. How bad...a new year with recalling this particular BAD memories as a start...

Even though having said sorry to me not only once, but for many many times. And I forgive by saying out, but in my heart, I was wonder, am I really forgiving or just because I said it out, then it's consider forgive. After all these years, I finally found out that I am a person that not really can easily forgive someone as the hurt inside my heart is too deep...and the wound couldn't be easily seen by anyone, not even my parents! and it's still there to be cured, but I have yet to find the right medicine to have it cure, therefore instead of cure, it's getting bad, and no one knows how bad it has gone, I just keep it myself, acting that I am strong enough on the outside, but it really pains in the inside.

Recently, I could get angry easily on things which I shouldn't, but which, I should get angry with this BAD memory that happened...but I really don't know how to react with this! I couldn't get any angry with this, or sort to say, my EQ is actually a zero...by right, I should get really angry and at least pour out all my emotions to this incident...but till now, I couldn't...

......

As a conclusion, I am a person that not easily to forgive and to forget. Whereby this hurt is just deep down six feet under, I am not able to forgive...but I wished one day that I could really forgive this, but for now, I can't as I am not able to...

I still can feel the shame inside...probably that's why I couldn't forgive.

All I could ask for is that, GOD, help me with this, put away my shame and give me strength to forgive...A real forgiveness from the bottom of my heart...and may this be another testimony that shines for You, my Lord.

passion

2009-05-26T23:24:00.002+08:00

Heard of this interesting story when I was in Surabaya, Indonesia...

There was a guy, who are really really passion about his life...which I really respect him for that. He possessed nothing, not even a set of television, so don't expect that he owns a house or what so ever. But he is very happy about his life...the only thing he owns is a 'BECA' - tricycle. He uses this to earn his own living during the day, where he'll get some customers a ride from this place to another place. This tricycle is his permanent address, where he sleeps during the night, so I wonder if one day people trying to send him a mail, how would the postman know where's his exact location?

What it has to do with passion?

Time passes by, where everyone will meet the last moment. He took his last breathe on his own BECA. Till his very last breathe, he still stay on his tricycle. He was found dead by someone who walked by his tricycle.

PASSION - willing to keep on the things even if you will have to die for it.

my passion - MUSIC. Even if I have to die for it, I will still pursue music. And I believe most of the musicians who really plays good music, they even sleep with their instruments where they keep practicing till they fallen asleep. Willing to sacrifice their time just to upgrade themselves, and they will surely find a way to improve themselves, even if it's the hard way.

Musicians are everywhere, but to find a passionate musician, not an easy task...are you willing to sacrifice to be one of it?

satu suara - (one voice)

2009-05-13T16:42:00.006+08:00

Even though this music has been out for about few months back...still when listened to it. It really speaks out the true Malaysia.

Love this country very much, where everyone is envy when they had their first time visit here. So actually what its all about? Love, peace, harmony...Malaysia is a truly Asia, where you can see all sorts of different culture here...we do celebrate all sorts of festivals no matter we are black, white or yellow...and that's UNIQUE.

So, we, the youngsters, should keep up the good works that our grandparents has worked out for themselves and for their future...which is 'US'. Treasure everyone as we are really one big family. Where no one can and able to change this facts!!! Where the beautiful history is made by our forefathers.

YAMAHA days...

2009-02-05T20:23:00.003+08:00

these 2 days really had another kinda fun, remembering the days when i was still young and learning electone at yamaha music school...it was like at the age of 9, my 1st class was at Kompleks Karamunsing, on the weekend, Sunday, 10a.m. to 11a.m. WOW!!! those were the days...hahaha

Years passed, and now it is located at City Mall, KK. Still quite a great memory as most of the staff are still there, it's like almost 10 years now and they are still serving there~!! even my previous teacher is still teaching there~!! so, eventually we had a really good chat; even the admin staff still remembers how I looked like when i was a child...

And remembering during my class, most of the time just about music sharing and talking about technology updates, concerts, music festivals and stuff like that,...really one of the big reason why I m still in music industry is because of my teacher, really we had the same topic and the aim that we want to make better musics out of the box we had...hahaha!!!

so, as usual, we talk about electone, how it had changed throughout the years, from EL-series, to EL-hundred series, to now the STAGEA, for me, I m kinda out, coz it's been a long long time which i hav not really played a song on electone all by itself. whereby I played with the band...tried on this flagship model for the 1st time with a complete score and registration settings...really cool...and of coz all the voices are much better than the one I had previously in my home...the EL-87, this is way much better~!!! well, of coz the price oso is good...around RM40k...it's like RM10k higher than the one my parents bought for me...which now it's still good to play with...hahaha!!!

Those were the days, wonderful days,...

God knows what day is it today...

2009-02-04T09:14:00.002+08:00

Really been a great and packed days for the last few days, and today till the day I'll fly back, still will be a packed days to come...!! guess I probably only will get a total rest during my flight back to KL then...and it's always right that I will rest well only during my sleep...but will work it out the best when I'm awake...that's my enjoyment of life.

Not that just work work work all time round the clock...but of coz, have some tea breaks with friends been lost contact for years...and then realized that probably will get a chance for us to get back together and have a small gig like just for fun~! hahha!! how nice...and remembering the past fun time that we had experienced together...the goods and the bad. Somewhat like mayb could travel more just to get along and have some good time events over here~!! Land below the wind...still, all of these are just kinda talk plans, yet to come true...only if really receive the invitations...which I'm longed for...hhahahaa!!!

Another great thing happened actually, which is kinda friends that only meet once a year when I'm back to KK...as always been during all these years of time...we'll have a really great chat and sharing bout our lifes and ministry...and always we found out that we hav kinda same experience throughout the year...and here we are, encouraging and share our solutions...really thank God for that I have this kind a friendship!!! And through this friendship, we've got help alot and we are able to grow up to another level through our lifes' sharing...

Another great thing that i really wanna thank God is that, throughout this journey of holiday~what I'v prayed for...is kinda being answered...God is really good all the time~!! hahhaa...which I'm so blessed that I hav a studio to do recording, then hav friends that lend me keyboard to do add-ons recording at home...wow!! such a blessed journey...really...just keep on counting the blessings everyday...hahahaa~!!

In short, this again, is one of my best journey I had and knowing that the best is yet to come...

well, no photo for this trip as I'm so into work and chit-chatting about our moments with friends...hahaha~!!it's another kinda enjoyment.

the 3rd day...

2009-01-25T08:01:00.002+08:00

It's always been great to just stay HOME...where the real home is...land below the wind.

once touched down to KKIA, waited for about 1/2 hour, then dad's picking me up right after his work...wow!! hhahaha!!! then reached home in about 15mins, which KK is not that big big big city like KL which the airport to KL/PJ needs about 45mins ride...some more u need to speed till 110km/hr...KK u could never exceed 90km/hr!! which means, highway with no means of highways~...u can travel 80km/hr or below on the fast lane~!! hahahahaa...that's why i could hardly survive here if I had to worked here for the rest of my life...

then during the night, spend a time of dinner with my family, then around 11pm, went to ONE-BORNEO, which obviously sounds like ONE-U...hahahaa!! indeed a big place somewhat the size of ONE-U, watch a movie-INKHEART...with a buddy, andrew...a GSC cinema, not bad...of coz, just because it's new.

2nd day morning, went to hilltop and had a DIMSUM with Joel, Jane and Quan, David, Emily and John, Tony and Caroline, Andrew. had a great chit-chat here...too bad that Ps Philip and family not able to join us...ahahhaa!! then again...went to ONE-BORNEO again...for a walk and shop around...seems like the only new place for us to have a look as for all the years it has always been the same old good place of KK which not much shopping areas been built up...and that's why KK still has it's good here~!! environmental friendly and lots of greeneries here...really a cool place to stay and have a relax life~

then again at nite, dinner at home then again went to ONE-BORNEO, well, not to shop, but for a movie...AGAIN...HAHAHA!!! this time...RED CLIFF II.

3rd day, stayed home for the day...and here comes the worst part of my holiday~!! felt so dizzy and really got SICK...haiz~!! didn't manage to go anywhere, a real headache which cause me vomitted once~!! aiyohyoh~!! initially planned to go night market, but just that I m not well, decided to stay home and lying on my bed...ahhahahaha!!

which I know my body well, today woke up fresh and good again~ yeah!! as if I m a doctor of my own...hahahaha!!! now it's the 4th day to come...and it's the reunion dinner...just can't wait to see all my cousins...where it's been years have not met...

looking forward for a miracle...

2009-01-21T05:58:00.002+08:00

counting my days, it's now the 3rd week of the year...still wondering why m i not having a good rest during the day, seems like my battery life is yet in 3rd quater full, so still got time to really used up my battery before going for a full charge again.

these few days been waking up at 4am...thanks to the mosquito bite!! HAIZ!!! wait till i take the total revenge!! HAH!!! that's why m pondering now, whether i really had a good rest during these few days...well, tomorrow is my day to fly back to the land below the wind~!! yeah!! hoping that this time could have a bit of rest which i not quite think so...as i have brought back all my assignments and pending jobs back to my hometown to finish up n rush off all the stuff before coming back here to KL...aiyoyoh!! that's a tough one though~

and now that's where i need a miracle...oh GOD!! help me!!

browsing back my schedule...

Saturday : reached PJ at around 4.45pm, before unload everything from my car, rushed to sanctuary for our church 2nd service, as I'm the temporary drummer for this service...:'GOD, raise up more people to serve in 2nd service in Praise and Worship ministry!!' then, I'm able to be more focused as well, not to be a very busy man...hahaha!! After the PW, went off to continue unpack stuff and stock counting as to make sure everything goes back to its origin. Now comes the dinner time, went to a special bitter gourd dining to settle my stomach abit...coincidently, met up with my cell leader and a small family, a surprise to everyone where we are unexpectedly met at the same timing!! haha!! from a small family gather, turns to a big family gathering dinner...enjoyed the sweet time...went home, settled own stuff, thought of maybe now could have a little rest, then in a sudden remembered, try to do a video clip for the camp~ then missed out the most important part where everyone shedding their tears...picked up the source at around 11pm, then supper a while, it's about 12pm++...aiyoh~!! better wrap up my day...sleep...

Finally...

2008-12-22T23:16:00.011+08:00

After going up and running down the hills, finally touched down to PJ city...

4 days 3 nights of Dusun Eco adventure.

1st day of arrival, setting up the hall before our 1st session starts...

while the others are assembling along the road.

A breakthrough camp that even
committee experienced another level of breakthrough! Whereby groupings have different kind of names such as, SPANAR, NOZZLES, NUTS, BOLTS, ALLEN KEY, HAMMER, ANCHOR and PIPE. perfectly 8 groups, with their own creative motto!! cool~!!

will upload all the video stuff that we have recorded during the whole camp...using Digital camera~!! haiz~~since we have limited photographer, so didn't bring along video camera, but then still kinda questioned why didn't bring along a video camera~...nowadays the youths so demanding~!! which is good as well, coz stretching off their limits to do the unlimited!! a good challenge for them`!! ANYWAYZ, will try to do the best video for all to see and again refresh what we have experienced throughout the camp.

A breakthrough for me coz rushing off some electrical stuff that need to be 'ON' during the night session!!!

Quite some time didn't touch on electrical circuits stuff, again, this is my kinda interest, doing all the wiring, patching here and there...finally, got it on before evening at 6pm!! took around 3 hours to complete the whole circuits...HUH!!!

my job, make sure all the instruments, lighting stuff, fog machines, everything about electrical runs smoothly then I'm fine.

Here's some interesting part,

doing all the shouting during the 1st day 'AMAZING RACE' game!!
again, very long time didn't use my real voice to shout around where I used to during the old days...haiz!!! didn't put into instrument list! A portable PA or sort to say,‘大声公’, hhmm...hhmm...hhmm...really need lots of HACKS after all the shouting~...

3 games in total on our 2nd day of the camp...and it's all about water!
and the main purpose: is to get WET!!! tats our motive...
now during the 3rd day, we had obstacles games for the groups, each group to complete all 8 obstacles~well, my job is, to time keep everything!! make sure everything runs within an hour time~!! hahahhaa!! not really a tough job, but to time everything accurately, tats a REAL TASK!!

too bad...we 'the committees' couldn't play these obstacles as time running short...

at least, manage to play flying fox~...hahahhaa!!! but not abseiling...haiz!! sure the day will come...where can even do bungee jump.

well, for the last day of the camp...not going to upload the pictures as there are some hilarious stuff and 'IEW' stuff...hahahhaa!! but it's a good laughter stuff, will make sure it's in video clip tats coming up, well, after all the prize giving and entertainment stuff...we have an unexpected tears shedding throughout the hall...really a very different atmosphere where everyone appreciating everyone's great work and the hard work, best work that they can put for their group, really a touching moment...

for me, a really great experience and a very different kinda camp that we had before~...BOND grow stronger, RELATIONSHIP grows deeper, and believe that we will be the nation changer as we gather as ONE in CHRIST...

just say it out for the sake of it!

2008-12-12T16:30:00.002+08:00

haiz~ just couldn't stand some situation that irritates my eye...

I guess it's the process of growing up to be a mature guy, but then somehow, still, there are times when things are done wrong, but hey, admit it...if it's wrong then it's wrong, believe that there's a will there's a way...and try to believe other's ability, if u have complaint, it's for u, urself, not other's as everyone's not perfect in the 1st place...so if u can get out of this thought, then congratulation...if it's the other way round, then try harder...that's all...everyone just live on their life, they won't be affected by what u react on the matter, as live goes on...hahaahaa!!!

so be happy~

A rest and a retreat...

2008-12-11T21:39:00.002+08:00

went to Dusun Eco for a rest and a sort of retreat for 1day-1nite...

arrived destination at 3pm, initially planned to arrive at 2pm...hahhhahaa!!! Timing out abit...
-unpacked stuff, tidy up the room, ... etc etc...

ard 4pm, went for the 1st adventure, JUNGLE TRACKING!! pretty cool experience, plus quite some time didn't exercise...hhmmm...good that my body still in good condition. HAHAHA!! not bad~...enjoyed the throughout journey, quite some time didn't really enjoy the greens, plus!! the track is so adventurous that have to walk along the river and feel the water streams...then the most exciting part is LEECH on the foot!!! thank goodness all the while my foot was safe, no leech sucked my blood, but too bad some guys got sucked by the leeches...not only once, but a few times during the journey...wooh~~!!!Still, after the whole 2 hours of jungle tracking, set myself to rest, then suddenly saw some familiar thing on my foot~!! A LEECH that still searching for blood vessels to suck!!! AARRGGGHHHH!!!! duh!!! thought would get the cleanest leg of all~ haiz~~stupid leech!!

In short : Jungle tracking - fun, adventurous, cool experience...

during the nite, group ourselves together, have some sharing, then chit-chat till midnite~!! ard 2am man!!! guys really can talk alot!! from technology to philosophy, then to science, then to God knows where...HAHAHAHA!!!

2nd day : Exploring around, walk pass the suspension bridge, look through obstacles which was build by the facilitator, enjoyed the morning shower...all in a relax mode~

warning to those who planned to go for this adventure :
-make sure u don't bring a million dollar sport shoes as u will get all wet n dirty after the whole activities, no matter jungle tracking or the obstacles.
-wear the cloths that u planned to trow away.
-remember to SCREAM during shower as the water for the day or night is EXTREMELY COLD!!!
-when u saw a leech on ur foot, don't panic and do nothing with it but just SCREAM for SALT!!! then the medics will come to u with the salt...kekeke...

Sunday 07-12-08
Weather : consider good in the morning...but then the afternoon...haiz~
My Activities : Woke up at 7.30am in the morning, got myself ready, then out of my house! There's a task to do...was suppose to fetch someone, but then during midnight received a sms stating that my task can be canceled...which my status would be at 'blur' mode that I would know nothing that I have actually done something when i woke up the next day. What a GREAT START FOR THE DAY!!
Now, here comes the extra : Usual activities ends at 4pm, now my extra program is that to go watch a show at 8.30pm. MAN!!THIS IS A PRETTY LONG HOURS OF GAP!!!initial plan...go shopping, but after receiving a call of just arrived to the mall at around 5pm++...now just forget about it...here comes plan B, straight away find a dinner place...which my plan is to kill the time so that my schedule is just so right...
Here's the fun part : as to kill the time, reached the restaurant at around 6pm...waited for the waiter to take order, took me 1/2 hour, then wait for the veges to be served on the table - 1/2 hour, slowly consume my dinner, 1/2 hour, then call for the bills - 1/2 hour...2 hours of dinner in a very slow, relaxing and kinda like life enjoyment~!! HAHAHAA!!!
THE SHOW : quite great and amazed how they present all of the show in LIVE...with a medium piece band, to dance, to drama, to...everything~even the musicians have to dance with the music while playing...cool~~
It's a great day indeed

moment of silence

2008-11-03T09:55:00.003+08:00

One month has passed, after all the busy days for the past month, finally able to catch some breath during the end of the month. Went out of town, way up to hills, enjoy the night scenery and the quietness of the environment, as well enjoying the midnight feel~...quite cool, at least a peace of mind.

But one thing is that nowadays, the hills are no longer as cool as decades before...haiz!!!thought of can enjoy some cool and fresh air, but then somehow got dissappointed...anyway, had a cool adventurous ride.

Initially didn't plan for this, like at least a week of 2 before heading to the hills...It's a day plan, once confirmed, got prepared during the night, then shoot up straight to Bukit Tinggi...as it's an adventure, so didn't book a place of stay, just go up straight then only find a place to stay, hahahaha!!! that's what I called, bit of adventure...

PASSION of work...

2008-10-01T10:20:00.004+08:00

A day of holiday but kind of don't know where to go...to continue my work or just out of this town or just go visiting for a while? In a way that don't know how to describe what's in my mind right now. Too many things to think of? Too many datelines to rush off? Or just the 'kiasu' spirit inside? Trying the very best to handle all the stuffs...

It's always not an easy job to rush off all the datelines...especially things that are like years way back, and which had been done half way through then the job passed to you, and browsing through, there's actually lot more to be done, thanks to different software version that make sure we are not jobless everyday!! Simply, sorting out all the stuffs then rearrange everything...HAIZ~!! Things that I hate most!!

Weekly works that which are pretty fixed, can't do much with it, but at least weekly by weekly, able to rush off these jobs with a short period of time...Still, things that are to be rushed off for datelines which gives me the real headache...Not really that I am a multi-tasking person but will give 100% concentrate to a projects, but if there're tonnes of little things stacked up then that's it...my week will again...GONE WITH THE WIND.

Thanks to all my friends who are at least willing to lend their hand just to help me out some stuff, but really not the toughest one that really can lend a hand as it's really time consuming that will suck out most of the time...well, at least they've help me out of my 20% of stuffs, still, you could imagine that 50% of the stuff is the one that will consume 3/4 of the time. But what to do...not everyone sees it and have the feel of it...and it's not always an easy task to build it up. It's all about your instinct, which comes a 'POP' feel, then only will get it done faster...as I've really seen it in my eyes, most CREATIVE really needs PASSION, if you take it as your job that will only feeds your monthly needs, then I would suggest you find a better job instead of keep on suffering...PASSION is the key that can keeps you on to have extra and higher demands of CREATIVITY. Therefore the person that only has the PASSION, then only consider to take this path. If not, you'll keep on complaining instead enjoying the work.

Once stepped in, no complaint, that's the spirit. to do the best out of the best. which somewhat people would say, the 'kiasu' spirit!! HAHAHAHA!!!

my weekly's' of assignments...

2008-09-25T21:59:00.002+08:00

at first, wrote a paragraph of sentences, but then decided to delete it and write it again...

After looking at the title, my assignments...haiz~~really had a lot of assignments to do...but try not to squeeze myself to the max, if not I'll be blown out!! then must be wondering, saying that lots of assignments but still have time to write something here...nah~just trying to keep myself on track, making sure that I'm not over-stressed. Know how to find some quiet moments and enjoy some stuff, as well, update myself with the current affairs, and things that going on my surrounding. If not, I'll be O-U-T. haiz~

It's not an easy task to do but always have to remind myself that the purpose of being called for...these few days seems like I'm kind of stress, but trying hard to overcome, but mayb the ways r abit off-track, which I'm not suppose to be...still, trying hard~...

Today learned another lesson which is about attitude, kind of strike into my heart as if again it's time for me to review myself, whether I'm in a correct attitude or the other way round. Seriously, these few weeks I'm kind of off-track because I felt so O-U-T. Don't know where to fit in myself, or sort to say, am I suppose to be here or not? But today's word, 'help me out of this situation, but I've been called for this...' HOW??!! still pondering...working out of something from it...still processing...

hopefully can go fully function without any errors, but still 'working in progress'...time to make up my mind...go for it, push it to the max value!!!

A Knocked Out!

2008-09-15T22:28:00.002+08:00

K.O.

For what I remember from God knows when was my last total knock out...Last saturday, again I was totally knock out!! Haiz~!! Just don't know what went wrong with my body`! Vomitted once, but then having diarrhea the whole day!! It's really an awful day!! couldn't do anything but then still have to rush off some stuffs!! Haiz~!! pity man!!! really PITY!!! Anyway, I have the chance to get rest for at least 15 hours that day!! wahahahhaa!! I think that's what i really need after all these while having tonnes of projects and God knows where the traffic light doesn't light up the RED light, or it doesn't fitted with the RED light at all~!! ahahahhaha...so finally He fixed on the RED for me??~~!!!

K.O.

Upgrading...

2008-07-14T08:43:00.002+08:00

Monday~!!! a day which every week I'm so looking forward to...HAHAHAA!!! coz it's my day-off!!! well, last week it's kinda super duper packed week!!! hhmmm...suppose should be able to manage a better schedule, or sort to say a smoother schedule, but just that need to diagnose all the technical and software problems that I encounter...HUH!!! Things just running like crazy~!!

still, there're things to catch up...like tonnes of pending jobs on hand...aiyoyoh!!! really need wisdom to fine tune all the pending stuff...not an easy task...moreover need to solve and kinda re-do some of the work so that whatever outcomes, it's been QCed!! hahahaa...that is why I'm in an upgrading process...

Upgrading is necessary as we day by day moving forward, that is why we always have new things all around...new gadgets, new ideas, new concepts, new...new...new...all things NEW! yeah!!! That's also my motivation to move myself forward instead of just stay behind an kinda lag...ahhahaa...sometimes i do think of myself that whether I'm running too fast??? whether others able to catch up things that I've done and the changes that I've made...

Again this week might be a bit packed schedule as well, to revise some stuff, then some more one of the scary part...EXAM!!! have not started any readings!!!! my 1st exam of my studies~!! wou!! GREAT!!! now that really need God's wisdom to shower upon me every moment even when I'm sleeping...hahahhhaa!!

3rd week of June...

2008-06-23T00:56:00.000+08:00

was about to type the title '3rd week of July'!! Man!!! Just couldn't imagine how time really like a roller coaster nowadays...felt like time really ticking fast...somehow it's like not having enough time to do the assignment which to be accomplished ASAP. hahahhaa!!! But when putting things down and have a rest and just give it a thought...when I was back then in KK for my vacation break...not really doing anything heavy or things that r hard to accomplish...but still can feel that time really flies...no wonder nowadays we have AIRBUS A380!!! really thanks to technology that really push us all ahead than what we would have expected!!!

3 weeks now, working in the new environment...have kinda get used to it...well, before this I as always have already get used to the environment, just that i have yet to have my own desk, which obviously now I have an official desk to sit on and can put my stuff on it...keeping in mind that, everyday is always a great day with full of excitement and challenge, try to put away the 'busy' word from my dictionary...as busy really narrow down my thoughts...no good, no good...

even, short of time to write some life journal, it's only the time like now or then can write down some journal in order to keep myself always alert about my own life going...whether it's up or down...

refreshing my mind and have a thought of what had happen during the 3 weeks ard...hhmmm...really lots of stuff happened and all i could say is...treasuring every moments and circumstances that had happened and give thanks to God. Life is simple...but yet can achieve to it's fullest~!!i's only how to take it and put an act on it...ahahahaha!!

well, my main purpose to drop down some words is just to let people know that I'm still alive on blog!!! HAHAHAHA!!! now don't say that I didn't update anything, it's now ur time to update urs then~!!..HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAAH!!!

starting up...

2008-05-30T20:41:00.000+08:00

and few more days to go for a new challenge...just couldn't wait for this up coming challenge...it's a great step to take as well a really need a big courage to take this step...so now just kinda starting up...

engine's reheating now...running hard for the race!!

almost end of March

2008-03-27T10:18:00.000+08:00

one month one post...it's like a monthly assignment thing.Don't know why just had this kind of habit and feel of writing a blog. Definitely it's not because I don't want to tell anyone anything regarding my stuff like what's been going on with me lately...how's my life...etc etc.

So, this month, for me, it's been quite crazy, or sort to say an upside down kind of life, again, life's meaningless if we tend to spend our life with just normal kind of life, everyday do the same thing, meeting the same people around, have no mercy on whoever's greeting you, or just simply having kind of don't know don't care kind of lifestyle...not having known what's going on around or just keep a distance with friends. Lately, I had a 'BANG' in my life! A friend of mine just scolded me with words of condemnation...i was like 'WOW'!!! Okie, time for me to cool down myself and then have a thought of myself...is it really that it's my own fault or just I'm try to be ignorant

Indeed, after the sort of quarrel, I choose to be silent and not to be defensive of myself...cause it's good for me to know other's thought of me, if not, I wouldn't know how bad I was. After a while of thoughts, I start to realize that I am just a kind of person who only do what's being asked, and just do it with all my heart, but having kind of don't care how other's feeling...sort to say, being helpful but with selfishness inside...no one knows what I am thinking, what's my plan, how to work out the plan in proper manner, how to keep everyone informed about the plan, what's the purpose outcome of the plan...things like that...so found out that I'm still lack of communication with other people when it come to work of an event. So, need to work out on that...get myself out of the box then get rid of this box!

Not just that, this month is just like an opportunity month for me to think out of the box...having chance to work on different kind of feel and manner, have the chance to work on another kind of system where I totally not familiar with...but still taking it as a chance of learning while earning...hahahaha!!! again, a mind of getting out of comfort zone and take the risk is just wondering around these days, thought of having a kind of business where the risk factor is higher, it's not that wanted to earn more money but to explore more instead of just keep staying inside a box...well, still working out of it...hope that this will come to pass very soon...

engine's heating up

2008-02-27T17:16:00.000+08:00

after the CNY holiday, got back to normal paste from hometown, a really nice place to be after retirement...HAHAHAAA!!!

life's getting better now...after all those while like having a tornado upside down life...seems like getting back to normal life and thought of would be nice to have a nice night time to spend by staying home...hhmmm...well, it's all just a dream...aiyaya!!! what had i got into?? seems like not quite so...every nite had an appointment or else being taken by meetings, conferences...what a bz man, man!!!

not even have the time to have a blog now...could hardly write a blog nowadays...hahahahaa!!! eventhough, will still keep it up de...so that would know what had happen to me day by day...

the beginning of the 2nd week

2008-01-08T15:51:00.000+08:00

huh~!!! what a great day, it's been quite a great day during the starting day of the week...it's good that it's been quite busy in all ways...having a great change or sort to say a drastic change in my company, we are moving to other place!!! and obviously quite a tough job to move, seeing people day by day moving off to new office, but some still remain at the old office, as the management trying their very best to do bit by bit without total stop of operation, which our company can never be...HAHAHA!!!! How can a broadcast company be closed down for shifting stuff to new place??! which means no on-air program, which means, viewers can't see any of our program...this will not happen at any times in broadcast industry!!!

I'm the one who still among those staying at the old office and still waiting for the news when we are suppose to move over our new place...well, since some department have shifted over, somehow still required to come and forth around our new and old place...but no petrol claims leh!!!! aiyohyoh!!!

went to KL to search for lighting stuff during the day, and still it's my office hours...HAHAHA!!! great!!! can like go off a while from the slowly deserted place...made my day bit of fun...still quite ok...

well, hope that my week will be greater and greater...
