My wishes...

It is now come to end of 2008, and 2009 is just outside my doorstep. And I swear this will be the last new year eve that I'll stay alone at home, without alcohols company.

What would I expect in 2009?

Friendship is always be one of the most important elements in my life. I always think that I'm not a good person, and I really happy I have friends, and trust me, I cherish these relationships very much, maybe not in a way that everyone like. People may curious why I am so crazy over Ayumi. Well her lyrics contribute a lot! There is a song of hers titled "TO BE" with part of its lyrics sound like:

Everyone passes through. I don't keep them in mind either. It can't be helped.
You've been carrying that junk as if it's important.
People saw you from a distance and thought you were strange.
Even so you laughed and said to me "this is treasure."

I was amazed when I read the translation, that is exactly what I think about my friends (even though the song for not really for friendship but I think it applied). I am the rubbish, and maybe people do not treat me as something wonderful but I'm glad to have them as my friends. Thanks guys!

I believe I have survived my career in 2008, and I'm looking forward to fulfill my skillset in 2009, learning new knowledge, new skills, that keep myself more valuable and keep surviving forever!

And also, I'm getting my car soon, most probably after CNY, and I really hope everything will be fine, as my driving really sucks! So guys, you maybe need to think twice before get on my car :P

I have never watched Ayumi's live performance, so I wish I could have a chance to join her concert, I wish all the best for her (especially health aspect, her left ear hearing has not fully recovered, yet she hurt her arm few days ago) and looking forward to watch her concert!

Last but not least, I wish there will be some encounters, no, one encounter is more than enough, so that my life would be more meaningful...

PS: I hope I can finish reading the 3rd book of Twilight saga, Eclipse tonight, it has around 100 pages left and Bella has just said yes for Edward's propose! ^^

Another Fraud...

Once a while, I might recall my short term prey and victim relationship with Venice (威尼斯公司)...

Today I received a call from Ambank, telling me that I have an outstanding credit card bill that has not being paid, immediately I told the engineer I do not have an Ambank credit card, after double checking, he give me a telephone number 03-7966 1004 to call Illegal Card Processing Centre and claimt that that is a government department to handle fraud credit card cases.

I googled the so called government department and it's definitely not exist in Malaysia. Then I walked to kah Fei and double checked with him, and Seaw Wei suggested me to called Ambank to double check first.

I called 1 300 80 8888 (for domestic) and got a customer service officer help after long long Malay song, she has confirmed this is a fraud case when she heard my scenario, however, I asked for her help to check on my account as well.

Well my friends, please be aware of this...

Tired Christmas

It was the most tiring Christmas I ever have.

Woke up at 7 something, started to "dismember" wardrobe, and moved them to my new room, but I overestimated my strength and underestimated the huge amount of my belongings, I felt like reading a never ending story.

Luckily, yesterday was a sunny but not too hot, at around 4 something, I finally accomplish the relocation mission.

It was an exhausted day...

And my arms are still in pain...

Started to worry the another relocation after two months, I'll make sure I ring everyone I know to help!

Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve today...

And my plan for tomorrow, most probably will scheduled to move house, from E91B to C1-12-9. It's kind of sad to arrange in this way...

However, here I found a video, recommanded by a Twilight fan that had put this link in facebook, for those would has watched the movie, you guys sure find this n times funny!

Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Sign...

I has joined Shell since 04 March 2007 as a 3rd party contracter, and it took me 1 year and 9 months to be converted to permanent, an EDS permanent.

This morning, I received a note to collect the hardcopy of offer letter, I went there with Soo beng company and we were asked to sign the offer letter on the spot.

And hence, we have a stamp on our back stating "EDS property"...

Hey!

It is the best thing at the moment, to join EDS as a permanent staff! Somemore the offer is no bad!

Kick the dim thing out of you!

VAMPs Fever!!!

It looks like to be our nature that people will always curious on mysterious, for instances, aliens, supernatural creatures...And hence they are always the best topic to be published/produced.

On 21 November 2008, a story, which origins from a romance series, has put on the big screen, and unmask people fascination on one of the most popular supernatural creature, the vampire, and bring over the vampire fever as a consequence.

Well, I myself like vampire a lot, compared to other fairy tale creature, maybe because of vampire is the most humanlike, maybe of their secrecy, maybe of their gorgious, may of their immortality, or maybe because I am tired to be an ordinary human?

Our common sense reminds us that vampires are a bloodsucker, they are always great in luring people, they are fast and strong, they will be hurt by sunlight, or perhaps by wood or silver. And they are always closely related to sex, which might be one of the way we pay (with our blood) for the "excitement" we gained together with them, and I believe this point might be at the top of the list why people want to be turned, as well as stay young and immortal.

I grabbed one of the video clips from youtube and I was amazed by the fever that Stephenie Meyer has brought, and there are few more in youtube!

DAY/GREEN released 17/12/2008!!!

Ayumi release her latest single “DAY/GREEN” today!

Well I have actually listened to both of them, and I preferred “DAY”, the MV, song, and lyric are perfect. And I grabbed its lyric and MV:

Movies & Reading weekend (II)

Most of my friends know that I love novel reading, especially online reading, thanks to Harry Potter. I love to read since my childhood, and after I read Harry Potter, the 1st episode, I, eagerly, went online and look for some book, as my hometown Jementah, has limited of book stocks, and I had read those I interested, some even a few times.

I found my first online novel from http://www.cmfu.com/ (now has changed to http://www.qidian.com/), it is titled as "魔法学徒 (The Apprentice - self translated :P)". It was a nice story, and I could hardly found any better fantasy novel.

Then I found another novel, titled "眠月魔情录 (exceed my poor vocabulary to translate this), it is a historical/war story, the hero is good in strategy, he is a well planner, on politic, as well as war strategy. I have addicted in online reading since my form 4 and insisted till today. And they are all in chinese.

The movie Twilight, has given me a strong idea that, I should get the book, in English, and start my reading in English.

I googled it, downloaded, installed Acrobat Reader, and also Kingsoft Dictionary, and I started the reading after my Sunday lunch, by the way, for those who might concern, I did have breads for breakfast but I had had a balance-nutrient lunch, with rice, vege and meat. And I couldn't stop reading until the moment I got on to my bed.

The author handled the story very well, and in detailed. I can picture out the story clearly from the lines, well it might be because I watched the movie, but people have to admit, those people in the movie does not express the emotion as written in the book, maybe the script for the movie is different, also, the story has a bit different as well, I have not yet finished it, but I know, I would continue on the others (there are 4 of them in the series).

Movies & Reading weekend (I)

Went out last Saturday, first went to Genting Klang, for my favourite Hakka Mee, where I received call from jason while I was in the Star train heading to Wangsa maju. After my breakfast, I went to Pavilion for movie, and luckily I was able to be there and catched 12PM Twilight.

I bought two tickets, one for Twilight and another for The Day The Earth Stood Still. It was 11.35 AM and I still have time to have a short walk to the shops around. And unfortunately (or fortunately?) I found a nice tee, which cost me around 80, and cost me extra for the weekend. Ahh! Why I am so lucky to be able to get one in that short time (in 10 minutes)!

Well, right after the purchase, I went into a few shops, before I step into Hall 11 for Twilight, It is a small hall. And thing seem to be wronged when the seats started to be fulfilled. My left (my seat number is 2) was a otakulike guy, sitting quietly there, my back was full with couples and girls, so do with the remaining audiences, aren't this should be a horror vampire story? Guys should love those red-blooded stuff, isn't it? However, it just give me a strong view that, this show is for 3G: girls, girlish (those might be too aged but still hold girlish thought or those with opposite sex that think in a way a girl would) and gay (no further study on this kind).

The show soon begun before my thought scared me any further.

Hmm...the story is good, with some humors in it, makes the story interesting, even without obvious climax, it do have one, at least, just everything has been made in the soft way, some might find it boring, but for me, it is quite facinating in parts of the show.

Well, The Day The Earth Stood Still is quite different. Tight scences has attracted and leaded its audience, however, the plot is not as good as Twilight. I was actually looking forward for an action movie, as Keanu Reeves had performed well in Speed series and Matrix series, however, this is a standard science fiction, which related to the human affect on the ecosystem and the earth.

Both of the shows are good to watch, but not recommended to spent for them. No offense to all the related or interested people to them, but watching downloaded version is good enough.

When would you reveal yourself?

It's raining outside, heavily, and people starts to get themselves covered with black, thick jackets. Just back from short tea time, and the recent popular topics will always car and career. Looking at the heavy rain outside, the first idea in my mind is how am I going to go back? "No need lah, earning OT while I still can!" This is how I tell everyone in smiling face, but I do not have an answer for that. Bus? I still get wet. Tumpang? Don't really like it. So? Better if I stay in office and earn OT (but I don't think I'm going to claim 10 hours for today).

Yes, I'm going to get a car soon, after CNY, as I heard it will be cheaper at the time. And for me, right after CNY I'll get one, I can't wait for it. I am a bad driver, and I always try my best not to have myself driving, which make it worse, and I started to understand: When one grows, every single decision he/she made will bring consequences.

And when I started my working life, I realised that I can't escape this. Sooner or later I will need to get a car, I need to know about car, and I need to drive. I started to get some info about car, but lazy as I do, I didn't check online on cars, or any reading materials, I learned from what I heard. And even so, I know how hard it is when you have a car.

I'm not rich, and I do not want to depends on my rich uncles/aunts, and I do not like to have my parents' support on this. Either self-esteem or whatever it called, I just do not like it. Since the first day I started working, I never take a cent from my parents (please lah, forget about ang pow), and I hope this situation will going on...

Few months ago, I started to think, what cars I like and I can afford. No doubt that, I have given up protons long time ago. Perodua? Yes, MyVi will be the first option for my current status. City? VIOS? Can I afford them? Yes I believe I can afford installment, but for the road tax and insurance? And also for a bad driver like me, where should I get money to fix those holes and scratches?

Well, I still put hope on VIOS, but it rely on the news that I expect to hear from my boss recently.

.:. PS. For everyone that has any kind of suggestion or lubang, please let me know...

「時の足音」（「时之脚步」）

Recently I am following a Japanese series titled “Oh My Girl”, it is about Yamashita Kotaro was living a peaceful life as a publisher part-timer aspiring to be a mobile phone novelist until two females suddenly appeared in his life. One is his six-year-old celebrity niece and the other is the little girl's stern manager. As he is forced to live under the same roof as the little prodigy, their differences soon manifest and disputes ensue. However, through co-habitation, Yamashita slowly comes to appreciate having a family and the warmth it brings, all the while developing a love-hate relationship with Fuji Mineko, the manager.

It is a warm story where I found this song: 時の足音(Toki no Ashioto时之脚步), from my understanding, it means Steps of Time or Traces of Time. This is a touching song that has written in order to remember a mother.

Lyrics:
別れの　季節に揺れる　儚き　一輪花
Wakare no kisetsuniyoureru hakanaki ichirinka

出逢いは　空に流れる　おぼろ雲の下で
Deaiwa soraninagareru oborokumo no shitade

Kasanariau tokeino harino youni yukkurito (yukkurito) yukkurito mawarihajimeru
就如时针那样 悄悄地 悄悄地 周而复始地重合着

短い針が君なら　長い針が僕で

若短针代表你 长针便代表我

同じ時間を刻みながら　何度もすれ違いまた出会い
onaji jikanwo kizami nagara nandoumosure chigai mata deai
一起印证同一时刻的流逝 几度擦肩 又几度相遇

歩く歩幅は違っても　描く未来が同じなら

「Ganbattakedo damedattane」
「很努力了 但还是不行啊」

「負けちゃったけどかっこ良かったね。」

「不过虽败犹荣吧」

色んな　種をもらった　言葉が　心に　水をやる
Ironna tanewo moratta kotobaga kokoroni mizuwoyaru
彼此的话语灌溉着 心中收集的各色种子

短い春に咲く夢　長い冬を越えて
Mijikai haruni saku yume nakai fuyuwo koete

心の奥に集めた種は　どんな　光で　育つのだろう？
Kokorono okuni atsumeta tanewa donna hikarite sodatsuno darou?
内心深处每颗种子 沐浴着怎样的光辉呢？

歩道の影に咲く花　誰の為にあるのだろう？
hodouno kageni sakuhana dareno tameni aruno darou
过道那不起眼的花朵 又为了谁而盛开着呢？

誰の為でも　ないよと輝く　君に照らされてる
Darenotamedemo naiyoto kagayaku kimini terasareteru
像是说着「没有特别为谁」 闪烁的光辉正照耀着我

想いが言葉に変わるよ　言葉が光を呼んでる
Omoiga kotobani kawaruyo kotobaga hikariwo yonder

光がほら影を作る　影で人は強くなれる
Hikarigahora kagewo tsukuru kagede hitowa tsuyoku nareru

短い針が止まれば　長い針も止まる
Mijikai hariga tomareba nakai harimo tomaru

同じ痛みを分け合える事　いつしか　喜びに変わるから
Onaji itamiwo wakeaeru koto itsushika yorokobini kawarukara
