CNY Aftermath…

Uncontrollable consumptions of the “sinful” food,
To satisfy not only a hunger but a desire,
Losing yourself into the realm of “makan” mood,
Wallowing and gobbling away in your own hire,

A disease or outbreak that many feared,
“Weight Gained” are the two big words that ticks,
Even the smallest of all could not survived,
From the intimidation of the “fats” that picks,

One step into the scale reveals all,
Nowhere to hide and seek,
The indicator tells as though the world will fall,
A big “SIGHED” in meek,

To be proud with cheer,
Accepting the fact that your tummy do grow,
Or to be shame with jeer,
Rejecting the idea with a raised eyebrow,

Rather go for the previous worth,
After all we are indeed in the “golden” pig year,
Expecting not only horizontal but fortunes growth,
Reality and imagination is just a thin line near!

p/s:
you see, after all, it's not so bad if you end up like this..

cute.. little piggy... piggy... muahahaha... :p

In honour of LIFE...

I was driving home after a friendly and joyous game of bowling. Thought to myself, that I should get home earlier and avoid the unnecessary jams. Hence, usually I will take the Federal Highway to go home cause it’s cheaper and nearer but maybe hit by jams between PJ Hilton and the exit to LDP. Choosing the out of the norm way, I decided to go for NKVE instead having in my mind that I’ll eventually be home 20mins earlier and it’ll definitely be traffic free.

But to my surprised and horror, I was caught in an unexpected jams the moment I exit from Damansara toll. The jams can be seen stretched all the way from Jln Duta toll towards and never-ending end of road. I was really puzzled and speechless. And what I could do or can think was to make myself comfortable and less pressure by heaving a big SIGH! So I slowly pulled my car across from the slowest lane to the fastest lane although traffic was still as bad and crawling. In my mind, I was asking myself, Why? Why now? Did I made the wrong choice again? Orh gosh! Orh NO! Not Again!

I was thinking to myself, how silly I was to make such a choice. Paying more, driving on a longer distance and getting myself stuck in what could be the worst ever jam I’ve ever encountered on NVKE. NKVE supposed to be one of the most expensive concessionaire highways with smooth flow of traffic due to the straightness and wide road. As we were all slowly driving ourselves closer and closer to the end of the jam, something really beyond my imagination caught my very attention.

(I know most people will thought or assumed it’s an accident but I just don’t know why that very moment, I just thought of it could be some road closure due to some repairs. Never came to me it’ll turn out to be an accident. I guess it’s because CNY is just around the corner, I can only hope or only thought of good things. And I was WRONG!)

It was a body covered with a white piece of cloth lying straight on the road and surrounded by police cars and PLUS officials lorry with blinking signage to divert traffic to the left lanes. And next to the body, were splattered of bloods. I could not see any wreckages nearby. They could have hauled them away. Even though, it was so dark, I could see the bloody scene quite clearly and it got my mind and slowly as I immersed myself into the scene, it got me thinking and pondering into all sort of thoughts, ideas and regrets… and that my friend, is where I came up with these uncontrollable thoughts… It really touched my heart and I feel so saddened then… how things could be so wrong and it could go either way or what if I was the one lying there? What will happen to my parents and my loved ones? I couldn’t stop myself from feeling even worse when I thought further and further away… I even shut my stereo to let myself fall deeper… while trying my best to have full control over my vehicle… and I thing for sure I did that if I never came across that incident will not even thought of, was that, I quickly slowed down my car within the speed limits. Amazing isn’t it? How easy to teach a hard-headed and impatient driver like me to even slow down? But I did… and even though I was not the victim of the ugly and saddening accident, I kind of felt that I was the one who learned from it…


In honour of LIFE...

We breathe Life the moment we were born,
It brings a new meaning to us and our loved ones,
Bringing happiness and joy without scorn,
Sourly issues will be of bygones,

As Life slowly becoming larger,
We become careless and forgetful,
Ignoring and putting ourselves in great danger,
Indulging with iniquity thoughts and be resentful,

Then one day you realized,
That Life is just too short,
Easily gone with the wind in a whizzed,
Taking you and everything away with a big snort,

Everything you knew and treasured are now gone,
What is left, is nothing but a grasp of dust,
Laying there is just a piece of tombstone,
Leaving behind a piece memory that will eventually rust,

My friend, Life is just too fragile,
Can be taken or washed away in a flash,
Without knowing or seeing or going to that extra mile,
Life as it is, is now gone and become ashes,

Shall not complain that Life is too full,
Shall not complain that Life is too little,
Only to beleaguer by your own fool,
To live your Life with great mettle,

Only then can you see the real meaning,
Shall not be shadowed by our own past,
Be strong and calm and ever evolving,
To be a better person overall, we surpass,

How much more you need to know,
Is that all worth in this lifetime,
Before it is too late, get your act together right now,
Spend your life meaningfully and regret not of that time!

P/s: Please forgive me for posting such a sad story on what could be the most or happiest moment for the most couples tomorrow during valentine or for those who already in such a wonderful and joyful mood to celebrate CNY, pardon me, even though there are so many happy and wonderful moments and things in life, we shall take them for granted and be complacent of it but instead always look and see it on a different perspective, and if one is wise enough, he or she will be able to realize how blessed he or she is!

"a moment of silence to pay respect to the victim..."

february... (a monotonous month?... maybe not!)

Month of joy and celebrations,
Signified January has departed,
Counting down to CNY with anticipation,
Not to forgotten our NYR that we committed,

On the 1st we had twin celebrations,
One was the Federal Territory 33rd Anniversary,
And celebrated nationwide is the Thaipusam possessions,
Both bringing joy and happiness for any ordinary,

Coming 14th is the V-Day,
Where lovers express their love for each other,
Also known as the Saint Valentine’s Day,
Gifts comes in the form of chocolates or flowers altogether,

17th marks the CNY’s Eve,
Family of all shapes and sizes gather,
Everyone will talk big, laugh loud and eat more without leave,
In a big reunion dinner that brings prosperity forever,

On the 1st CNY day, sounds of crackers and fireworks,
Can be heard from across the streets and neighbours,
Changing into the your new CNY clothes that sparks,
Greeting parents and relatives "Gong Xi Fa Chai" for angpows,

CNY is celebrated for exactly a month,
Many cheers and beers are consumed,
To enliven the "red" event with laughter and smooth,
Not to be forgotten the lion dance that amused,

Buckled up for this crazy joyride,
Who knows you might strike yourself something great,
In this 28 days as we stride,
Seeking for goodness as we feats!

Enigma of Love…

It keeps you warm,
It makes you wants more,
It reaches you by arm,
It leaves you without swore,

Sometimes is it so fragile,
Once broken can never be mend,
Sometimes it seems so agile,
Once missed you will regret till the end,

Till today it remains as a mystery,
No one could understand its true beauty,
Meant for men and women to discover its mastery,
Seeking the power of love goes beyond sanity,

It was brought forth by Adam and Eve,
The true and first loving couple on planet Earth,
They exchanged and shared their love,
Bringing us hope and life to look forth,

Love is not a lesson you could learn,
It takes a lifetime just to understand,
Those who failed can only yearn,
Those who succeed are in command,

Sweet, bitter and sour are the ingredients,
It requires deep understanding and communication,
It knows no values or dollars or cents,
Can only be justified through the Creator’s creation,

Giving the love requires patience,
Returning the love requires courage,
Loving someone requires sacrifices,
But knowing the love comes in stages,

Loving someone goes all the way,
Accepting the love will make the day,
These are the thoughts as per say,
To love or not to love as you may!

A tribute and appreciation to our sponsor…

A well-done, well-executed and wonderful project,
After months of hard work and commitment,
A final product was completed on time and budget,
A big applause to all team members’ accomplishment,

Although the time we spent together was short,
With the "Team Power" spirit, we strive,
Beating the timeline and set our own fort,
Working towards the same goal and drive,

There were times where we were stucked in time,
Going through many rounds of discussions,
We finally made through without losing a dime,
With defiance, we wave through all aggressions,

Then come the time to celebrate our achievement,
Tugging ourselves for a sumptuous and joyous dinner,
Together we savour, sip and snap without disappointment,
Fulfilling our tummy to great lengths like a sinner,

Finally, thanking our project sponsor and client with this tribute,
For giving us this rare and lucky opportunity to shine,
For many futures to come, we hope we can continue to contribute,
Let’s toast to this celebration with a glass of Chardonnay wine!

the unwarranted thoughts and dreams…

A thought that may seem right,
Intermittently come and go uninvited,
It is like out of mind, out of sight,
Sometimes it is strong, sometimes it just abated,

Something beyond comprehension and attention,
Best conceived as a short term memory loss,
Unattended for will only encourage its aggression,
Head or tail is just separated by a toss,

Long gone was the first and deepest touch,
Never again to allow entering the jungle of unknown,
Only deep in the forest can you find your vouch,
Beating the beast within and become known,

Be the general that gives the command,
Not the soldier that receives the orders,
Was once fallen and became a remand,
Now is the time to go beyond the borders,

Considered this as a battle of wits,
By conquering your greatest fear,
Coming together with your grits,
Be cautious and not to be sears,

Slowly regaining my consciousness,
Realizing that I was again in my dream,
An unwarranted dream that makes me less,
A sighed of relief… as I beam!

Phuket trip ~ 23-26 Dec'06

Yep! This trip was backdated more than 3 wks ago. I'm glad that I finally took the courage to print those photos up on my blog. What an effort! muahahaha... more like i've been procrastinating this post for sometime till lately that i need to do some organizing and clearing on my laptop did i realised that the existance of these pictures. What a lame excuse! :p

Nevertheless, the effort already been poured in. Spent some hours to upload the pictures plus some header note. These pictures are just some of the 600 over pictures we took there. Can you believe it? 600+ in a 4D3N trip? huh... rather exaggerating rite? I beg to differ here... caused since we spent thousand of ringgits and miles of travel and hours of away from home, it's alright to get ourselves snapped in many many other forms, shapes and poses! :s

Sorry, no porn here... don't get me wrong here... there really isn't any... phuket afterall, it's a nice, windy and relaxing place for anyone of us who wish to take some time off to pamper themselves a little bit with some snorkling, thai massaging and some thai food especially the tom yum! it's so yummy! ehehehe...

Time for reflections… (I learn, I grow, I experience, I conquer!)

As we set forth to achieve our New Year’s Resolutions (NYR), we should also constantly reminds ourselves of our previous mistakes so that we will learned from it and never to repeat them. They act as a checkpoint in our life. We are all alike. Constantly, being pulled or influenced to repeat our mistakes. I’m also not a perfect being and doing my best to learn, to grow, to experience and to conquer each day in my life. Well, after all been said but not much being done, I guess it’s good to have some sort of reflections to help us see things better...

Passed is something we did,
Present is what we are doing,
Future is what we seek,
Beyond is unknown and awaiting,

Came across many turbulences,
They act as our challenges,
Not to deny their existence,
So that we can grow as we aged,

What are the things we did wrong?
What are the things we did right?
Making ourselves known with a dong,
Making the effort to change them with might,

What have we learned from our past mistakes?
That has caused us pain and distress,
Should we not be smarter and be awake,
From the lessons we learned, we progress,

Past lessons make us stronger,
Smarter and wiser as we grow,
Part of growing up to be braver,
Dealing life issues with a bow and arrow,

Each experience we went through,
Help us get ahead with courage,
Whether it is tough or rough,
Mustering all our strength we could salvage,

In this lifetime, we make many choices,
We shall live with it without regret,
Most importantly we abstained from the vices,
Life is as meaningful as we could get!

Tick... tock... tick... tock or rather ssssss... sssss...
Either, time is leaving us by seconds and it depends on us whether we want to take the RIGHT action or not!

New Year Resolutions
[Change I Must Change First Then Things Begin To Change]

It is already a new year 2007, and each time when the new year dawn upon us, we are either too excited or simply troubled about our New Year Resolutions. Same goes for me. We can have 1001 resolutions but how far are we to achieving them is depending on how resolute we are. In search of my resolutions, I was carried away by my thoughts and hence I started to write a simple 4-paragraph poem for each of the values, characters and attitudes that can help to bring us closer to achieving those RESOLUTIONS of ours. IMHO, it is never an easy task to achieve our resolutions but we great determination and perseverance, I'm sure we will do our very best to make them possible and sustainable!

P/s: All the best to all of you out there and hope this year 2007 will be a wonderful yet enjoyable year for us all. Let's ride the year 2007!

Knowing the limit of yourself,
Do not let remarks be your bother,
Living rightfully and be your good self,
By being Humble to Yourself and Others!

As years passed by without acknowledgement,
After reading so many books of Chicken Soup,
It is time to take the next step of development,
Let’s Be Matured and Grow Up!

How bad a day it could be,
Finding different solutions and ways,
Even when you felt like being sting by a bee,
You shall Be Well and Happy Always!

A very hot day with high temperatures,
What you seek is a refrigerator,
To put yourself inside and raptures,
Always be Cool and In Control like the Creator!

Eating, Drinking, Sleeping and Sitting like no other,
Slowly becoming an obese and ugly monster,
Only to be afraid by yourself and others,
Before it happens, let’s Stay Healthier and Fitter!

Before you could reach the stars,
You strive for the skies,
Next on the list is Planet Mars,
Always Be Hungry for Successes!

Had a Bad Day by Daniel Powter,
A song to remind us to turn things around,
It is our own will to make it good that matters,
By Being Optimistic and Positive!

Missing your plans and targets,
Who to be blame but yourself,
For all the diversions and distractions that you get,
Precaution by being A Disciplined and Committed Self!

The World you know yesterday is not the same as today,
Always changing and moving in a fast-paced,
Either you buckled up or slowly losing out each day,
We need to be Competitive and Challenging in this rat race!

They always ask and prove theories of the unproven,
They claimed themselves to be the smartest human being,
They are the Scientists that make our life even,
To find the unknown, We need to Stay Curious and Seeking!

IT as we know evolved by split seconds,
Systems of today will eventually be outdated,
Knowledge of today may not be applicable as we transcends,
To be on par and known we need to Stay Ahead and Updated!

Not to be taken for granted the gifts of life,
Each moments and seconds are as blissful,
We need to cherish them so long we are alive,
Always Be Cheerful and Thankful!

Every ideas and thoughts that come upon,
It is our responsible to fulfill,
With proper care and respond,
As Meaningful and Thoughtful!

Every fruits bear a taste,
Each of us has our own mouthful,
They represent their character or paste,
Most importantly is being Grateful and Respectful!

Lies will only take you this far,
Truth will bring you to your destination,
In our daily life we are constantly faced with liar,
Wiseman said: Be Honest to Yourself and Everyone without intention!

Knowledge is Power,
It will give you the edge,
To go beyond and empower,
Start by being Resourceful and Knowledgeable in this Age!

No tasks can be achieved with a mouth shut,
Especially when everyone is so reactive,
To do it correctly and speedily we need to shout,
Achieving each tasks by Being Initiative and Proactive!

No tasks can be seen as insurmountable,
This was proven by Einstein with his Theory of Relativity,
Like writing endless amount of Poems that seems impossible,
Thinking out of the box with Innovative and Creativity!

Coming across each decision lies a confirmation,
Even CEO always made the toughest decision with pain,
How sure we are to our decision lies with our affirmation,
Moving ahead with need to Be Affirmative and Certain!

Even the darkest clouds bestowed upon us,
Even everything seems to go against us,
We should not go awry and fuss,
It is a Virtue to Always Be Patient and Courteous!

The smell of it makes you arouse,
The taste of it makes you shock in temptations,
Too much of it will makes you go lose,
It is time to Reduce your Caffeine Consumptions!

Before you learn how to crawl,
You roll like a piece of log,
Before you learn how to swim,
You Learn How to Float Like a Frog!

Everyday go to work with a heavyweight,
It is not any ordinary luggage,
It can only be slash with some workout till eight,
By Loosing Off that Excess Baggage!

Each of us has our beginnings,
We can do more beyond our capability,
Let’s do something good before our endings,
By Contributing Back to the Society!

A simple message to be bear in mind,
Living life with the right principles,
Slowly and gracefully we unwind,
By Striving to be Complete yet Simple!

Happy New Year
!

Yearly Gift Exchange...

(Every year I have my yearly gift exchange with the rest of the klangers buddies. We have been doing so for the past 5 years if i'm not mistaken. Correct me if i'm wrong yeah! here's something for you guys... thanks to all for making this happen! and for those who travelled from the south, many thanks and hope you guys have a great trip down and take care!)

Our yearly Christmas gift exchange,
A time to give and share,
You will never be short-changed,
An unforgettable moment that is so rare,

Especially to our friends from Singapore,
After a year long of MIA,
They are finally back with some pores,
Back through a smooth flight by SIA,

Welcoming them with a big hug,
Fortunately they still remember their hometown,
A place once known as their little hut,
Nowhere is better than our own,

A year gone but few kilos gained,
That is what we called the life game,
Growing in width and as dark as tanned,
Nothing compared to a life’s of a dame,

Ho…ho…ho… Merry Christmas to all,
Wishing you merry and joy all the way,
Whether you are standing low or tall,
Rejoicing the Christmas spirit as long as you stay!


All our gifts. Wrapped up nicely with a nice little tiramisu cake. Nice!


All the gifts after the "stealing" game and unwrapping section. Muahahaha...


and... that's my little gift... another gift to add to my collections. Feel so blessed! thanks to all! :D

Merry Christmas to RSDC...

Helping us in many ways like a handyman,
Bridging the gaps between applications,
eGate upgrade gives RSDC hope and vision,

Is a team of S.O. at the same venue,
Passionate and intriguing in the way they commune,
Is a bunch of S.O. you cannot dispute,

Babysitting information related to Product,
They maybe lacking in numbers,
But handling C.A.T.S. with great conduct,

Safe keeping all sort of information in their data depot,
For new information, data warehouse is where you resort,

A lone ranger lingering in our midst,
The ‘Neo’ in the office who controls the matrix,
When the network is sick, AJ is whom you seek,

ORiON
‘Oracle in ON’ is ORiON from Oracle,
Sustaining HR and Finance application regardless the obstacle,
Defeating system glitches by performing miracle,
High workload and low manpower are quite typical,

RSDC
RSDC is the second home to all teams,
Guiding and helping us in realizing our dreams,
Managed by YD, the ‘Yo Daddy!’,
Treating us with care by using whip and candy,

Today is our second anniversary of gift exchange,
A Merry Christmas to all familiar faces unchanged,
Making work place as ‘home’ is the picture we paint,
Spirit of sharing and giving in this festive we attained!

A tribute to RSDC.

Christmas Gifts…

As the day close by we embrace,
Hurrying to complete our last minute shopping,
Men and women without the thought of race,
Can be seen everywhere busy choosing and selecting,

To find the perfect gift of joy,
For their close ones and friends alike,
Some may missed the right choice...oh boy,
But the recipient will still happily accept it with like,

No wonder the crime rate went down,
Caused the whole city is busy with their Christmas gifts,
Shops by shops, complexes by complexes as they disown,
Haggling and bargaining without any rift,

Finding the right present with the right touch,
It requires some patience and understanding,
Exhausting all their free time including missing their lunch,
The worst is when you can hear the jingle bell is ringing,

This is when you know that Christmas is nearing,
No way you can run but start to spend more,
To show that you are as caring and caring,
By visiting and spending on all the glittering gifts shop galore,

Husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, uncle and aunty are all not spare,
They to need to shower their other half with expensive present,
Special request for something out of ordinary and rare,
It goes all the way to online ordering for the gift to be sent,

Pressures can be felt up to the management level,
They too spend thousand of ringgits to pamper their staff,
So that everyone in their organizations will work harder as they revel,
Not only do they deserved the expensive gifts but also a day off,

What a Christmas Gifts shopping scene,
Infesting and ravaging everyone from the society,
It is worst that bursting an acne,
The pain and grouses can be hear all across the humanity,

But above all, lies the great truth of caring,
Followed by the spirit of giving,
Though some prefers to do their sharing,
All in all, Christmas brings everyone closer by making our life full of meaning!

bE haPPY!

As simple as it may sound,
Bringing life and hope to many,
Can even cure the toughest wound,
Doesn’t even cost you a penny,

Be confident and don’t be shy,
To express your feeling without sorry,
Hiding will only makes you looks fishy,
Freely expressing yourself that is a glory,

Act like an infectious disease,
Once infected it will only continue to blossom,
Touching your heart and putting it at ease,
Consider yourself lucky to be the ransom,

For a bad and moody day,
Wise to make use of this theory,
Eventually everything will go your way,
Slowly erasing the unwanted memory,

Don’t believe all that is preach,
Practice does make perfect,
Go out there and starts to reach,
Especially those that we may have neglect,

Remember to put on your happy tag,
What you need is just a beaming smile,
Doesn’t harm if you can bring on some gag,
Always stay happy and let’s reconcile!

Full Moon…

Clear dark sky without clouds,
As the night fall without thoughts,
From afar I can hear you shout aloud,
Bringing me closer to you about,

The darkness makes me feel so afraid,
Slowly pulling myself together in a cage,
Hoping that someone will come to my aid,
Before the darkness swallowed me in rage,

As I woke myself up from the dream,
So deep into it till I’ve forgotten reality,
From the window pane I could see a gleam,
As I gain my consciousness and ability,

Realizing that the night is not without emptiness,
Full moon it was, shinning brightly afar,
Brightens up the whole dark sky with its grandness,
Nothing can beats its beauty and not even on par,

Even we are millions miles apart,
But you always there to shine and show me the right path,
Never to make a wrong turn and depart,
Carefully making each choice and decision to avoid wrath,

Your present makes me feel so blessed,
The torch you provided gives me strength and vision,
I can easily forgotten about how much I’m being stressed,
Like you I hope I can live my life fully with purpose and mission!
