who?

got experience before?
... got sms from someone which you had given your number to, but can't remember who? =p
especially sometimes when you met someone in a rush, you gave them your number and ask them to either miss call or sms you,
then only receive the sms a few days later
by then, me cannot remember who is who liao, might have asked a few people to do same thing within that few days ...
me think next time better ask people give me their numbers, then me miss call them or sms them =)

also opportunity to meet back alot of friends ... some we didn't meet for years

why do stars twinkle?

why do stars twinkle?

because it is a long long journey =)
stars twinkle because their light has to pass through several miles before it reaches the eyes of an observer
remember last time in physics we learn about 'pembiasan' =)
eg. how a coin at the bottom of swimming pool seems to wobble from side to side?
similarly, stars twinkle because their light has to pass through several miles of earth's atmosphere before it reaches our eyes.
It is as if we are looking up at the universe from the bottom of the swimming pool

modified from "ask the expert" column - The Star, Sunday 20/11/05

if got time, try looking at the sky for stars, you'll find them smiling & twinkling their eyes at you ;)

happy

visited http://chengkim.blogspot.com/
me guess these few days are happy days ...
me happy too ... also don't know why =)
happiness is so simple yet sometimes we think it's hard to get =)
ironic isn't it?
read somewhere " we thought comfort & luxury were the chief requirements, yet all we need to be happy is something to be enthusiastic about (look forward to)

fridge n now washing machine

fridge ... washing machine
me guess they need rest & rejuvenation too =)

just around 2 to 3 months back, the fridge at my home was not a fridge =p
... was basically just a storage area which consume electricity
... doctor (the foreman) say "your fridge need to 'masuk gas' and change organ 'thermo-something'
... and the hospitalisation & surgery fees cost about rm500++ (got kena tipu or not ... me dunno)
... me suggest maybe buy new one better loh... but my mother say 'give fridge a chance, maybe after fridge recover, it'll be better"

and now
washing machine also 'fall sick' liao
refused to help wash our clothes ... perhaps too tired from so many years of washing.
now me considering whether should let go this and get a new one
one thing for sure ... any one me choose will also need money

haha...me think fridge & washing machine 'pakat' one ... they know usually bonus will come near year end ... so clever =p

Sparks fly

It’s Friday night and sparks fly …… from the electric cables in front of opposite row of homes.
The same thing happened before near a friend’s house in midah http://p4n6.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_p4n6_archive.html
There were sparks flying … at one point traveling across the cable from right to left (it was a sight to behold actually but I didn’t managed to capture it like pang did)
Lucky nothing happen to the cars park below the cable.

As busybody as I’m … I go sibuk, aunties opposite house asked if me can call TNB.
So ‘103’ me dialed to get TNB no. ‘15454’
A report was lodged and my details taken … they afraid me making pranks call gua =p
Cik Siti : kita akan hantar technician ke alamat cik
Me : agak-agak bila ye? (asking because need to go fetch my sister)
Cik Siti : secepat mungkin

True to her words, less than 30 minutes, a medium TNB service vehicle came with 3 techicians looking for me. So me let them know what happened.
As soon as me finish talking & pointing, I was surprised when they got back into their vehicles and one of the guy said " kita balik report dulu" …. Off they went.
I stood there at the gate for a while … did nothing … at that moment, my mind couldn’t register what happened.
Remember me came into the house telling my mother " ask them to come repair, they go minum kopi woh"

Around 10.30pm++ after come back from fetch sister, someone pressed doorbell looking for me … thought friend … only to be informed he’s from TNB.
That guy is on motorbike … what can he do? I was puzzled??? Did the 3 technician ‘balik report dulu’ and now they send a technician on motorbike???
Again, me ‘replay’ the story … wondering the earlier 3 technicians ‘balik report dulu…report apa??’

Then me purposely mentioned "tadi sudah ada orang TNB datang, tapi sekejap sudah cabut loh’ =p
Poor chap explained "oh, itu tadi medium size, nanti kita hantar truck besar datang"
Me : ini sudah lewat ada kerja lagikah? 24 jam ah? Servis banyak bagus woh =)

Me don’t care lah… tomorrow me no at home =p hehe
If they are coming, should know what to do when ‘truck besar datang’
… I sudah cakap ulang 3 kali loh, encik =p


ps.. haha… me think either my communication skill very bad that no one understand what I say OR me must be a great liar that they need 5 people ….the telephone operator, the 3 technicians and another technician on bike to check whether I’m telling truth before they can take action =p kekekek

your money & you

me sleepy so couldn't think of anything better =p

WATER – what’s water to you?

Once, there is a small ‘fish’ living in an aquarium yet doesn’t know the existence of water.
Only upon having the opportunity to jump out of the aquarium, small ‘fish’ discovered that it has been living in water.

Youth to some people is like water in the aquarium. Upon losing it, only realized youth & time were wasted. We only come to realize its preciousness when we no longer have it.

What about you, my friend?
Have you neglected your youth?
Live life to the fullest..so that life is ‘mo yin mo fui’ …no regret

I love this short voice tag aired over MY fm cause it strike me hard, right at my heart.
Pardon my no-good translation. However, if have chance, catch it over radio

Mirror in lift – what are they for?

Ever thought what are mirror in lift for?

Some say it’s for us to adjust our clothing before stepping out of lift.
Some say it’s to create a sense of vastness in the lift
However, it’s actually to enable handicapped persons on wheelchair to maneuver themselves without the need to turn around.

No matter how open our minds are, we tend to view things from our perception first.
(sorry…I forgot what was the last line lah)

Another short voice tag which me think is true especially the last part…
This one is by Lee Chung Shen, also aired over MY fm.
There are more but meanwhile these are the 2 me can remember

Woke up LOL

It could be the holiday mood
Me didn't know me capable of waking up LOL =D
Had a hilarious dream … one that made me LOL in my sleep and find myself laugh till wake up.
It was 4.39am.
ps. me woke up liao and watch a cantonese movie "ngor zor ngan gin do guai" translated "my left eye see ghost" .. nice watch =)

Me don’t think had experienced this previously (maybe I had but I didn’t wake up)
Strange ... me laughing but couldn't remember what made me laugh non-stop.
just remember last scene was
I swayed my hand towards a guy head and said ‘soh ga lei?’ translated ‘gila wan ah u?’ or ‘crazy wan ah u?’

Tried to recall while brushing my teeth but nothing came back.
Guess it’s best left that way.
How nice if we get happy dreams like that always =D

Happy Deeparaya

wishes all our friends .. Happy Deepavali & Selamat Hari Raya Aidifitri !!! ; )
me know a bit late =p
what's nice about malaysia ... we get longer holidays & more fun when they are joint celebrations =)
read in THE STAR the other day that neighbours ... a muslim family & a hindu family eating halal 'loh-sang' .... that's the beauty =)

as usual, some nice quotes from print advert

Astro : time can never dim the light. It can only make it shine all brighter. Happy Deepavali
Calsberg : An ancient tamil proverb says "When blesses with benefits, share it round, so the world is improved too" Happy Deepavali
Petronas : Tunaikan tanggungjawab dengan ikhlas, tanpa mengharap balasan. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
Honda Malaysia : hari raya aidilfitri kunci penyatuan, maaf dipohon dan restu dipinta, raikan bersama sanak saudara dan rakan taulan, semoga siralturahim erat sentiasa.
TM : united we stand, divided we fall. TMcelebrates the spirit that is uniquely Malaysian.
Digi : because there's no limit to a child's imagination in traditional story telling. For this year's joint celebration, share this tradition with your children and you will give our past a future. besides entertainment, story telling also helps bond families and friends.

to say ‘I love you’ one more time

err… that’s the title of a chinese movie me watched on Friday 28/10/05 starring andy lau, charlie yeung & charlence choi.
Beautiful actor & actress aside, me find the message conveyed through the movie was real.
It tells about love … love in relationship & that of parents – child.

There were 2 parts that gave me a lasting impression
1st .. a story
once upon a time, there were an old couple. The grandpa (gong gong) always walks with fast pace while the grandma (po po) strolls very slowly trailing behind her husband. Gong gong doesn’t understand why po po walks so slowly. Po po always wonder why gong gong always walk as though he’s in a rush, that at times she finds it difficult to catch up with him.
Although so, gong gong & po po never gave up on each other, they walk together. And that’s because they love each other.

2nd … a sentence a father said at his daughter tomb
" You have serious short sightedness… I don’t.
Don’t worry. No matter what, I’ll look for you in next life"

…. Which reminds me of another story, it just came to mind as me typing
…………..while a father & daughter is crossing a hanging bridge
father : hold my hand, dear. Then you’ll not fall
daughter : no daddy, you hold my hand!
father : but why can’t you hold daddy’s hand, dear? Isn’t it the same?
Daughter : No. If I didn’t hold on well to your hand, I might fall. But if you are holding my hand daddy, I know you’ll make sure I never will fall. And if I fall, I know you’ll never let go my hand.

Isn’t it amazing how little stories can remind us a lot about realities in life? =)

启程

启程
nice song they play over radio on my way back =)

每一天 都有一些事情将会发生
every day, something will happen
每段路 都有即将要来的旅程
every road, there will be a coming journey
每颗心 都有值得期待的成分
every heart, will be something worthwhile to look forward to
每个人 都有爱上另一个人的可能
every people, will have possibility of loving someone
想爱 就不能害怕会有伤痕
to love, then shall not be afraid of getting hurt
没有人完整 却有人能信任 才找到永恒
no one is perfect , but we can trust someone, then 'forever' found
想到达明天 现在就要启程
to reach tomorrow, have to depart now
只有你能带我走向未来的旅程
as long as you can lead me to future journey
想到达明天 现在就要启程
to reach tomorrow, have to depart now
你能让我看见
you can let me see
黑夜过去 天开始明亮的过程
the dawn after dark

How the heaven wept …

There are people who make the world special just by being in it
and Allahyarhamah Datin Paduka Seri Endon Mahmmod was no doubt one.
beloved wife of Pak Lah (Y.A.B Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi)

It was this gentle yet strong lady that touched our lives… her courage, her resilience, her strength, her generosity & thoughfulness, her smile.
Let her legacy endures and her spirit multiplies.

We are reminded again as a nation the fragility of life & its precious contribution.
Last Thursday, as our tears flowed, the sky wept with us ..
However, perhaps ‘our pain is heaven’s gain’

May God bless her soul.
Al – Fatihah

how good is your temper

LIBRA : September 22 October 22

Did someone say that you`re the charmers of the zodiac?
Well, it`s true. Few have ever seen you ruffled or angry.
You`re very conscious of your image, and you believe that anger distorts your face and personality. You also think you are above things like anger.
But wait before you get into self-congratulatory mood.
Your family or those very close to you know you better. You have an unmatched temper amongst all the zodiac signs, and what makes it worse is your capacity to justify it.

SCORPIO : October 23 November 21

Of course you don`t lose your cool. But your very demeanour (manner) projects haughtiness (arrogance, pride), pride and grand disdain (disregard) for lesser mortals (humans).
Others are often found saying > that anger sits on your nose, and you are raring to give your peace of mind to the 1st person who tries to act funny with you.
You are selective in the choice of your friends, and have a low tolerance for the superfluous (extra) types.
Your tongue-lashing (attack) is generally in a soft hissing tone, for when you scream, your voice tends to get shrill & loud, & you do hate drawing attention to yourself.
When upset, you are angrier with yourself for having shown weakness, for the last thing that
Scorpio wants to show is being out of control

SAGITTARIUS : November 22 December 20

You`re insensible and generally have no complete control over your emotions.
You do get angry quickly and others marvel at your anger levels even when provoked.
Actually, you get tongue-tied when angry and you will remove your anger waiting for the other person to calm down.
Then you will reason with your opponent and convince the other person in a very gentle manner that the whole thing was just his mistake. You`re also likely to totally sever ties with someone when you`re upset with them

CAPRICORN : December 21 January 19

Few will believe that a hardcore practical and materialistic person like you is capable of sensitivity and genuine emotions.
You project a hard exterior but are actually very sensitive, a trait you successfully hide from others.
U can be seething with anger but will not betray your feelings.
But then, there are times that even you cannot control yr temper.
Under such circumstances you can shout and scream, more with frustration at the situation than with anger at any particular person. Your outbursts can shock others and can make them feel guilty too

how good is your temper

LEO : July 22 August 21

If anyone has total control over their emotions, it is you.
But then, you can be described as stiff, cold and uncaring.
You are known to lack spontaneity but you really don`t care about opinions.
You don`t like to create scenes and will never accept invitations to a party where you suspect the presence of an unruly lot.
But your very presence seems challenging to some and they take vicarious pleasure in your disquiet. When angry you can use very critical language.
A dressing-down can humiliate yr opponent, causing a strain between both of you forever.


VIRGO : August 22 September 21

Most of you are gentle and have full control over your emotions, but those of you given to temper tantrums can certainly get violent.
When see thing with rage, you yell and shout and tend to break things lying close at hand.
You can even harm yourself by banging your hands on a glass top table or wall.
You should never get into any argument, for you are a sore loser.
You feel that others are trying to persecute you and don`t quite respect yr opinions.
When hurt, you can also hold grudges forever

how good is your temper?

GEMINI : May 21 June 20

You`re recognised by your cheerful disposition & yr jovial nature is not easily susceptible to anger. In fact, you`re the best person to have around when there is an ugly scene at a party
cos you can bring the warring factions together quite diplomatically.
But when you lose your cool, you yell and scream and will not listen to reason.
You must have the last word in a wordy duel.
Your capacity to argue aggressively is matched only by your seductive charm

CANCER : June 21 July 21

Considering how charming, caring, and kind you are, you dislike unpleasant scenes, much less creating one yourself.
You have great tolerance & rarely get provoked into losing your temper.
If someone`s unreasonable or trying to create trouble, you are more likely to walk away quietly.
But that does not mean you do not have a temper. When angry, in yr effort to control yr emotions, you tremble, your hands get sweaty, and sometimes you fumble for words.
Tears roll down your eyes easily and the opponent is touched by your innocence and will seek an apology immediately.

how good is your temper?

ARIES : March 21 April 20

Nothing seems to ruffle you more than a lack of discipline, disloyalty and decorum.
But Arians are also known to go into a rage very easily when challenged.
Those of you who`ve been on the receiving end of the Aries temper know that if not calmed down they can even get violent.
But one thing is certain if the opponent remains calm and does not react to their outburst, Arians cool down very fast. They will be also the first to apologize which makes them easier to forgive

TAURUS : April 21 May 20

You are generally quiet and have control over your emotions.
It is difficult to predict what will upset you, so when you do lose yr cool, people don`t know how to react.
Your temper is like that of a raging bull, and anyone trying to pacify you`ll be the first one to get a > verbal bashing.
You generally get upset when you are cornered or when people accuse you of doing something wrong. You also hate being reminded about mistakes you`ve made in the past. You also have the potential to be terribly vindictive if rubbed the wrong way

how good is your temper?

how good is your temper?
you decide whether true not true? =)

ps. me will post 2 hororscope a day ... trying to test your patience .. hehe =P

AQUARIUS : January 20 February 18
You are noble and kind and dislike losing control over your emotions.
It`s very rare for you to get angry. You are also the pacifier in situations that involve arguments.
It is always your endeavour to be perfect and socially correct in your behaviour & attitude, but if misunderstood and slighted you can give in to an angry outburst.
You`ll shout and scream and then walk out from the scene.
You cannot easily forget the situation and will be bitter about it for a long time.

PISCES : February 19 March 20
The only thing that can be said about you dreamers is that you appear even more attractive when angry.
You are very sensitive to others` feelings, so you rarely hurt them.
But when others tend to hurt you, then things take a nasty turn. You`ll yell and use harsh words, and feel inclined to shake everything and everyone up.
Your creative imagery is at its best when angry, & you tend to get pretty dramatic.
When upset, you refuse to listen to reason & wish to be left alone.
But once you have calmed down, you repent your tantrums and seek forgiveness.
So nobody can be upset with you for too long

NKF

had just finished watching NKF Charity Show held in Arena of Star, Genting Highland ... telecasted live over NTV7.
NKF ... National Kidney Foundation

The amount of effort by the artistes was commendable but it was the kidney patients that shone.

Although many cases are slotted during the 3 hours plus programme,
there are 3 cases which moved me
1. A mother who want to live on for her child but refused to accept her daughter's kidney
2. A young boy who had to undergo dialysis at such a young age. Imagine the heart sick of a parents.
3. A lady who's blind and had to undergo dialysis struggle to live on because she still has a mother to care for.

They are strong people that strive to continue living despite their conditions & difficulties. They never gave up no matter how hard. These are the people with courage and perserverance more than any one of us.
