Maksud Merdeka...

50 tahun dahulu,
Kita berjuang untuk kebebasan,
50 tahun sekarang,
Kita berjuang untuk keharmonian,

Walaupun terdapat banyak kemodenan,
Hati dan naluri kita masih sama,
Tak berubah hanya semakin degil,
Enggan menerima kebebasan bersama,

Apalah perjuangan Bapa-Bapa Merdeka,
Adakah usaha mereka seumpama fantasi,
Bagi mereka yang menderhaka,
Inikah maksud Merdeka yang dirasai,

Sedih melihat kejadian seperti ini,
Apa akan terjadi kepada Malaysiaku jika ini berterusan,
Kesian melihat Malaysiaku yang dikasihi,
Akan mu menjadi sebuah negara yang tak berwawasan,

Suatu dahulu kita mengemari kebebasanmu,
Sebuah negara yang aman dan damai,
Sekarang kita menakuti hari depanmu,
Terjebak di dalam kemusykilan yang pelbagai,

Akan tetapi kita masih berharap untuk keharmonian,
Untuk suatu hari yang mulia and bebas,
Supaya kita dapat bersantap tanpa kebimbangan,
Menlaung Hari Merdeka tanpa was-was!!!

Ratatouille (by Brad Bird) & Secret (by Jay Chou)

As you have noticed, I was away for a period of time. Reason, I was busy watching these two good movies: (trying to think of a better reason but what better reason that to watch these two good movies)

Ratatouille:
It tells a story about a rat named Remy which have a special ability to scent for good food and how he become one of the famous chef in “Paree…” His adventure and despise all the disappointment; he continues to strive to become one of the “Paree” most famous chefs. I quite the part where it says “Anyone can cook” (which is quite true and again this does not only apply in cooking but in everything we do in our daily live). As usual, there will always be a moral of the story / lesson to be learned. The storyline was good and again Pixar strike a 10/10 movie once again!

More to be told here.


Secret:
It is Jay Chou first directing and acting at the same time. Although his acting was quite good but the storyline was even better. It was truly a touching love story. Although, the ending was kind of sad but there were some twist here and there which makes it more than just a typical Chinese romance movie. As the story slowly unfolds, it’ll really catch you by surprised… not going to spoil your appetite further on!

More to be told here.


For those who have not catch it yet, try it out! :)

tagged... 4 things...

For those who don't know me that much, here is a simple 4-things-of-my-life:

Four jobs I have had in my life: (if my memory served me right)
1) Heritage Construction (S) Pte Ltd (some small construction company in Singapore)
2) I-Systems Bhd (now known as CMS I-Systems, my 1st IT company)
3) Earth9 Sdn Bhd (HQ in SG)
4) ONS emiconductor (also known as SCG Industries Sdn Bhd)

Four Places I have lived:
1) Port Klang (*home sweet home*)
2) Melbourne, Australia (stayed there for 2+yrs, study and travelling a little)
3) Singapore (stayed there for 2.5yrs, work and study)
4) Sorry it’s Port Klang again… it’s boring place… yeah I’m also boring :P

Four Places I have been for vacation:
1) Melbourne, Australia
2) Phuket, Thailand
3) Mount KK, Sabah
4) Phoenix, Arizona (US)

Four of my favourite foods: (actually there are much more in my head… it’s so hard to choose man… spoiled with choices liao :s)
1) Wan Tan Mee (WTM esp the one at Ho Wing Kee)
2) Dry Fried Kuey Teow (in hokkien, “kuey teow tar”)
3) Satay (of course good satays la…)
4) Ba Zhang / Ah Sang BKT (Ba Kut The) (I’m torn between these two “Ba’s”) P/s:

Previously I missed out on one of my favourite of all favourite, my “cheesecake”…. I think this will be ranked @ 0) :P

Four places I would rather be right now:
1) At Melbourne or some nice cold weather country, the best if can enjoy the snow outside and enjoying a cup of nice hot coffee under the fire place…
2) At some countryside farm, enjoying the mountainous view and the fresh air…
3) Resting and relaxing on a hammock at some nice beaches… listening to the sea breeze frees me temporarily from my worries and concerns…
4) Last but not least, at home in my comfy bed sleeping… ehehe… :P

The return of the longkang bowler…

(Part 1 of the longkang bowler can be found here)

Longkang bowler is back,
Because of his pact,
Not to be taken aback,
As he bowls with an impact,

Longkang is where he started,
Learning it the hard way,
Through longkang he established,
Slowly he learns to bowl away,

Tries after tries,
Never say never,
Cries after cries,
Destined not to be the longkang bowler forever,

Back with the improved "longkang" throw,
Still plenty of room for improvement to be made,
Fortunate to get 4 strikes in a row,
Could be due to his lucky jade,

Losing his longkang streak,
But gaining his striking streak,
Let us all not be freak,
As his longkang throw starts to weak,

Looking forward for that strike,
Been longing all day long,
A spare will also be alrite,
So long the strikes will come along,

Wish all the longkang bowlers good luck,
Remember this longkang principle,
In life you will never be stuck,
So long you are a loyal longkang disciple!

Morale of the story: "If you think you can, you can!" Go longkang bowlers all around!!! :)

Bon Voyage…

A short trip it may seem,
To the valley of sun,
Continue to keep your esteem,
As you do your run,

Missing you by miles,
In hope that time will fall short,
We could still remember your smiles,
Keep them alive and not distort,

The good times will resume,
As the days is outnumbered,
We’ll meet again soon,
As long as we could remember,

Safe flight and journey,
Enjoy yourself without worries,
After all it’s all "ah gong" money,
Do your work and get the glory! :)

CHEERS & BYES!

The Cabinet (By: asianjoke.com)

Mahathir was so disappointed with his cabinet for being inefficient and corrupt that he decided to call on Goh Chok Tong and ask him how he managed to have such an efficient and incorruptible cabinet.

On hearing Mahathirs woes, PM Goh said, "Simple, Mahathir, I choose able men for my cabinet." Mahathir asked, "Yes, but how do you know that they are able?"

PM Goh replied, "Just ask them simple questions to test their intelligence, don't need to be too difficult. Let me illustrate to you." Just then, Tony Tan was walking by, PM Goh called out to him, "Hey Tony, come over here." Tony obediently walked briskly over.

PM Goh asked, "Tell me, Tony, who is your fathers son ?" Tony Tan immediately replied, "Me! Of course."

PM Goh turned to Mahathir and said, "See, all my ministers can answer this question. Why don't you go back and try." Mahathir thank PM Goh and left.

Once he was back, he immediately summoned Anwar, his deputy, and shot the question at him, "Tell me, Anwar, who is your father's son ?" Anwar was shocked beyond words and did not know the answer. After a while, he recovered and said, "Boss, let me find out and I'll tell you tomorrow." Mahathir, a bit disappointed, agreed, hoping that Anwar will give a good answer tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Anwar was panicking that his boss was testing him. He tried desperately to find out the answer from his staff, but none of them knew the answer. The next morning, he decided to call Bill Clinton for help. Surely the most powerful person in the world must know the answer.

When Bill picked up the phone, Anwar said, "Hello, Bill, can I ask you a question?" Clinton, very busy, replied, "Alright, but it better be good !" Anwar quickly asked, "Tell me, Bill, who is your father's son ?" Clinton was fuming, "Of course it's me, you stupid !" and he slammed the phone down.

Satisfied that he's got the answer, he confidently walked into Mahathir's office and said, "Boss, I've got the answer to your question." Mahathir, happy that his deputy wasn't that dumb, said, "So tell me quick, who is your fathers son, Anwar ?"

Anwar confidently replied, "It's BILL CLINTON !"

Mahathir slapped his own forehead in disgust and said, "No you stupid, it's TONY TAN !"

happy birthday mum!

She brings life to me,
She gives me the first beat,
Without her there will be no me,
In my mind she is always great,

I’m one of her greatest invention,
To be here today I’m grateful of her,
Remembering this will be my sensation,
It’s my quest to bring her more cheer,

She nurtures me when I was young,
She provided me with love and care
Always there for me to be found,
Such are the warmth and attention which are so rare,

I constantly fall while learning to stand,
She taught me how to stand strong,
Even the strongest wind I must withstand,
Remembering this I could not be wrong,

As I grow wiser and older,
She taught me how to be a good man,
Not to forget her teaching and reminder,
As I seek and become a better man,

She cooked for me day and night,
With her around, I’ll never starve,
Her cooking always taste good and right,
Her pork with sauce, is a must to have,

Sometimes I was lost in my path,
I went to seek for her wisdom,
She guided me to the right path,
There I was, out of my conundrum,

I can’t feel anymore blessed,
Than to have her as my greatest mum,
She has taught me without tired,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU MUM! :)

Do you know this bloke?!?!

Sometimes he does not know himself,
Saying things that without known,
Can be of annoying and repeating self,
Learning to accept none other than his own,

Crappy and funny are his weaknesses,
Going beyond I could not imagined,
Lacking of seriousness and caring to his amasses,
Slowly conquering them and make aligned,

Easily makes friends with others,
Getting to know them are his blessings,
Not allowing a friendship to dithers,
As the friendship continue growing,

Good friendships are hard to find,
Once found, it takes a lifetime to refine,
Maturing over time with great bind,
As time passes, it’ll “taste” like a great wine,

He may not have the “cool” factor,
To act and keep you calm and steady,
But he does have the “warm” factor,
To heat and keep you warm and ready,

Sometimes he maybe short-fused,
Due to the unstable current and voltage,
Learning what’s best to control and diffused,
Hopefully the stability will rendered with age,

Badminton and tennis are his favourite sports,
Keeping him alive and afresh all week round,
Letting off his stresses which may caused distorts,
Better handling and game strategy makes him sound,

The rest are future in the making,
Hopefully to strive to be a better person,
Modesty and benignity are what he is seeking,
Impossible is nothing but just a reason!

My “Zhong Zi”…

You come in many shapes,
Wrapped in bamboo leaves,
You keep us away from starves,
Favourite to many who likes,

Best consume while it’s fresh,
Aroma of it makes you feel unrest,
The moment I see you I have the crush,
Can’t wait to taste your filling best,

You maybe tough on the outside,
But you are soft on the inside,
Always waiting for you readily,
As you melt in my mouth easily,

You maybe oily and sticky,
That’s your traits that makes you shine,
Having you in my mouth I feel so lucky,
As I chew and taste you like mine!

I AM WHO I AM...

Nothing special, nothing ordinary,
Just like any other being,
Brought to this world of glory,
As I gained my strength and wing,

I start to seek for improvement,
Bearing in mind nothing is perfect,
But sometimes I’m befall with bereavement,
As I lost myself in confusion of my act,

Not too late to realization,
The battle is not all lost,
Need to shake off my temptation,
As I moved away from my own ghost,

Nothing loss, nothing gain,
This is life of learning,
No guarantee it’s without pain,
As I continue seeking...

Sunshine Just Around the Corner…

A gloomy day without the rays from the sun,
Dark clouds hovering over my weary sight,
Chased by the darkness I began to run,
Away from the darkness towards the light,

Never been given any task too easy,
Never been put on such intangible weight,
Made difficult because we are lazy,
Made heavy because we lack might,

Unknown of the unpaved roads,
That laid ahead with challenges,
Full with dirt and rocks that hoard,
Steadily manoeuvred across the hinges,

Moving forward without looking back,
Slowly but surely reaching the destination,
Deep inside knowingly to be on track,
Sunshine just around the corner of stagnation!

A Memorable Trip...

Departing from south,
Heading towards north,
Defying the jams and thunder,
Fulfilling a dream of hunger,

Met two kind souls,
Brought us around on a food hunt,
Only good food were served to full,
Gobbling around like a food stunt,

Over-satisfying my little tummy,
Till it overflow with juices of yesterday,
The output may not be as yummy,
Ejecting out in a form of a clay,

Please do not feel disgusted,
As this is only the beginning,
Hoping for more to come till we are busted,
With all the good food available in the offering!

Hiatus...

Was away for sometime,
Busy with work and life,
Lack of effort and time,
Even no time for myself,

Starting to re-create,
Making life more rewarding,
Best not procrastinate,
Living life to the best standing,

Was also lost in words,
Lack of discipline and thoughts,
Making laziness as my lords,
Disciplined thoughts to be sought,

Hopefully this will last,
I can’t be sure of its duration,
It may be gone like a dust,
Wise to keep life with saturation!

Qing Ming

Today mark the actual day where we visit our beloved’s graves to pay respect to them with offerings and at the same time sweep clean the area around the grave. It’s a time for family reunion where uncles, aunties, cousins, nephews and nieces come from various locations to meet and pray for our beloved. Offerings such as dim sum and huat kuehs are common sightings but some even brought their own home cooked food which were once the favorite’s dishes of our beloved ones.

As for me, I was supposed to visit my grandpa’s grave but due to the constraint that my parents together with my aunt and grandma and uncle all fit nicely into one car, they suggested that I stay on. And I did. I don’t mind driving another car since I only get to do this once a year but maybe they have other plans in their mind. And they were right, when they got home, they told me that luckily I did not went along caused they were stucked in 2 hours jam and couldn’t find a proper parking when they arrived. Hmmm… on my first thought, I feel relief I did not tagged along but after thinking further, I started to realize that it’s not too bad caused this is the only time of the year where I could visit my grandpa grave and I’m willing to trade the jams and hot sun for it. Yeah, most will think that, that’s probably just an excuse I give to myself so that I’ll feel better for not going but that wasn’t my intention at all. To make things worse, I did regretted a few times, especially each time when I thought of it again and again. But what to do, it already passed. Hence I can only move on and really hope that next year I’ll just do it!

Here’s something I put together for you grandpa although you passed away for nearly 10 years now.

You nurtured me when I was young,
You took care of all my needs,
Can still remember the lullaby that you sung,
Cuddling this little boy from his seeds,

Driving me to school each day,
Keeping me safe in the comfort seat,
I can remember all his advice till today,
Sit tightly was his usual advice of caveat,

Ah Gong, Ah Gong each time I yelled,
His reply always excite me with his wide beam,
Will never forget his smile that lasted,
Remains fresh in my memory forever seem,

Although you have gone for many years,
But all your teachings and advices will be carried on,
To remind me and to act as your eyes and ears,
That I will be a better person or at least a good son,

I regretted much that I missed my Qing Ming trip,
It was supposed to be a trip down memory lane,
Vowed to make it next year or I’ll be whip,
You will always be remembered in my heart!

Satay-Night-Fever…

It was a good night out. Hanged out with AJ and JK for a quick bowling game followed by dinner, CB (too bad the all-famous blueberry cheesecake wasn’t around) and finally the main destination of the night, satay heaven!

If the night even stayed a little bit longer, I think I’ll become an eddy-float! Muahahaha… Dinner was sumptuous, even though I couldn’t feed more into my little stomach but I felt guilty for wasting those food when people over at Africa are dying because lack of food. Haih… so once I again, I forced those last two pieces of large pizzas through my mouth along my throat into my stomach! After that, I felt so “sang fu” but over-satisfied!

Then we went for CB’s BCC hunting. The hunt begins from old wing all the way to new wing @ 1U. The response wasn’t what I want to hear but I glad they don’t sell that BCC else I think my stomach will suffer!

It’s definitely a night which I won’t feel less of food or laughter!:D

It did not end there, after CB, we headed out of 1U for the night main hunt. But before even out dinner got digested, we’ve already going for supper! Muahahaha… But the supper was great. It’s something I’ve longed and craved for. Finally, get to taste the all-famous PJ State Satay! It was really tasty and good. It was fat-free just chicken meat. Not overly burned. The gravy was good although from the first impression, it looks light in color but after mixing with the sambal, it just blends well. Not too spicy not too oily either. A full round dip of the satay, and a bite of the tender chicken meat, you feel like it’s no doubt the best satay around town. The satay rice was good as well. Not too hard and soft. Just nice!

Oh boy! I feel so much full and satisfied now! The satay hunt was a successful one! Thanks to AJ & JK for the great company and food! Let’s do again next time… ehehehe… maybe set our target on something else…

(a little satay poem for you guys!)

Your tanginess makes me high,
Your tastiness put me in nigh,
A bite of you, I go wild,
A thought of you, I lost my mild,

Satay orh Satay, you fed me well,
Breaking my hunger spell,
I wish you’ll always be there for me,
Whenever my hunger comes!

[Satay+Rice+Cucumber+Onions+Gravy = a great satisfaction!]


[in close proximity... for those who have also been craving for it... don't you think it's time you take the action?!?! look at the juiciness of the satay stick... whoa...]

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!
