A Change , A Life , A Soul to seek

Troubled Waters....

2009-07-20T22:53:00.000-07:00

Well...it so may seem that my life is currently proceeding towards the vertical line of life...Camping on the door steps of my masters research, rapidly operative in my badminton life and trying to balance my social life altogether. However....it is not what it seems to be...

As adjacent to my masters in research..its already been said. The word RESEARCH....kills.... Day and night I'm thinking what to read and which source to gather.

Information is highly critical in the research world as it may lead you to easier progress and modification in your work or the other way round, draggy and stressful hurdles in clawing out the steps you need.

Anyhow...my research is on RADAR. Yes.... radar or in long its called, RAdio Detection And Ranging. Apart from the explanation of the project, what I will stress here is about the difficulty of it. Unlike electronic components that you can see, in Radar you need to understand and predict the outcome of the signals. Even the slightest change in the result, you have to troubleshoot every single component to fully check what is going on with it. But with all the troubles concluded, my hardware is done. All I'm waiting now is just two of my batteries to arrive to run my hardware. Its not mere AA batteries but its call LIPO or Lithium Polymer batteries.

Its what they use to run the remote controlled cars or mini helicopters. But...its been three weeks now I'm waiting for it to arrive after I ordered it....One thing I hate in my life is .... waiting...I just want to faster strive on with my project and now I'm just attached to the waiting game....I've heard about LIPO batts being able to replicate a C4 explosion if we didn't handle it well...I didnt' know about the risk...but well...the clock is ticking...but the bomb have not arrived....

Well as for my badminton line....almost everyday....I trained myself for it. Alternate weekdays working out in gym. Jogging in between the alternate days and four times of game play in a week. Fuh...its tiring...The time I spend, the sweat and blood I shed and the commitment I sacrifice on, but still people yet to know how I play or what is my standard is...Often.... they choose those who don't train themselves or rather not that committed to go for tournaments. I'm rather fxxking piss of with the ignorance of the people.

Its rather annoying to be ignored of your hardwork in the first place...Players are actually post selected without any much discussion or whatsoever. Guess the team consist of the same 10 players only. Others are just mere pile numbers of extra. Why can't things be fair like a pre-selection or something before any tournament to select the best candidate. I find its fair to those who actually work for it and to those who don't....Well....that's MMU for you...Nothing much can be said....

As for my social life....Yeah....I hate it.....I miss the those of my Melaka frens still around, I miss those times my MMU frens still around....

Well...as I'm stuck in my masters...the rest are stuck with their working life....Guess life goes on...You either brood over the lost of it or you chase a new social life....

Rest in Peace....You are my favourite......

Rata…….where are you now…..Its been four months since you leave me…Did you meet up with your son Remy….I believe he is up there somewhere but I hope you both have already meet each other… He must have been waiting for u….Remy leave me one month before you did…..Oh did you see Honey too? Honey went up there last month too…. I just hope all three of you are having a fine time there….although I didn’t want all of you to leave my side….Each one of you have your own personal housings…..but starting from Remy…it reduces one by one from my sight….

Rata and Toee when I first bought them...

But……………….on top of that…..I hope you are the very last one to leave my side. Toee…. I didn’t know that you will leave me this soon. You are my favorite hamster among all five of u. Ever since I first bought you with Rata two years ago….when I place you in my hands…I have the feeling that I will love you very much…And indeed my bond with you grow as time goes by….When I first bought Rata and you…both of you have make me happy when I’m down…When I’m sad or down…both of your cute actions do lighten up again my day…

Rata you are the mischievous one…More like a dare devil…you make climbing your favorite activity….You will try to climb everywhere either in the cage or in on my hands….Seeing your attempt to climb do make me laugh…But then as time goes by…you shift your attention to the wheels. Once you start running on the wheels…you wont stop running through out the nite… The cutest thg is that you don’t run between the wheel but you run on TOP of the wheel…more like a circus act…I can’t stop looking at you run whenever you start to…. But….you grew thinner and thinner from your cancer ….and you just leave me…..one day….Everytime I look at your favorite wheel…I will still remember the way you run….but…its all the images playing in my mind….

Remy…you are the first to leave me….Among all..you are the biggest, fattest and the most healthiest of all… Never I did knew that you will have an eye infection which took you away from me instantly the next day….Remy….do you know how fat you are?? I dont remember I feed anythg more to you as compare to the rest. But you just became so fat. And like your father, you make climbing your liking….So fat yet you like to climb around the cage….And…I like to put and hold you in my hands. You are very nice to hold and fluffy…. You are more like a portable soft toy to me…But since you are the first to leave me…I was so down….I cant control my tears when I hold you in my hands before I “sayang” you for the last time before I bury you… But …you accidentally bit my finger once…..which now will be a momento for me….

Honey….among all you are the smallest and petite one…but you are fiercest of all. Never like to be handled but a clean angel….You will try to bite whenever I try to hold you….and you tend to groom more than the rest…Your cage is always clean…I wonder did you tidy up and sweep your cage whenever I sleep each nite… But apart from that. I always like to see you built your nest… I did wonder whether you are an architect in your past life…Your design of your nest changes everytime I clean up your cage….and its not just the design..it is nice and compact….But just may god bless you on your journey there….Meet up with our dad and brother ok? There are waiting for you….

Toee……I just dono how to say this……..among all you are my favourite….You are the only one who is the most obedient. You never bite me…you never shunt me away when I try to grab you….Everytime I try to hold and place you in my hand….you will just stay quietly and sniff around me hand… I remembered there once that you look me at my eyes straight when I slowly sayang you …and you just didn’t look at me…you look at my eyes for almost 10 minutes as though that you know that I was “sayang- ing” you…..And I also remembered how I nose you with my nose…I play with you more often than the rest because you are just so much fun….I also remember when I try to let you climb on me and you trying so hard just to hang on me without falling…But not just me…you are doted by my mum, dad and brother in my whole family. You just have the cute charm that will bring everybody happiness whenever they look at you…. Did you remember how I feed you the kua cis? You just stuff all the kua cis I fed you into your pouch…I think there were 30 kuacis altogether…Apart from that, I was very happy for you to bring me Remy, Sweetie and Honey into the family…Do you still remember how worried am I when you are pregnant?…Day and nite I’m waiting for u to give birth…and when you did….I was watching at you almost most of the time ensuring you to have the best food and condition around you…. I can still remember how you feed Remy and the rest….But…I didn’t realize you were the one who is the latest to leave me which I hope you are the last…You are down by sickness and you grew thinner and thinner….I brought you to the vet…I though the medication will cure you…but….guess its too late as I think your sickness overwhelm more than the medication can help…. My heart was too painful to think of your departure…. Your body is still warm in my hand but you are not moving anymore….It me took so hard to actually put you in your resting place…..I just hope you will move and look at me again like usual…..but…you just lie there motionless…But…I guess u did your duty as my pet…..I did my very best to make you stay on….but Toee…I will always remember how you bring me happiness…to me and my family….Toee…you and the rest are my first pets….And I will always remember all of you….I love you so much…and I will always will….I just hope you have join Rata, Remy and Honey now…At least you wont be alone there…Promise me that all of you will rest and enjoy as much as you can alrite? I will take care of Sweetie for you all…I promise…

Last Saturday and Sunday was one of the most vigorous way to use my body to the extend..Smash Master 08 is one of the old traditional tournament for the Badminton Club of MMU Melaka. To achieve something in the traditional tournament brings great relieve and confident in oneself.

Neway, I joined two categories which is men singles and men doubles. Madly enough, I had to play 6 games which includes 3 single matches and 3 double matches on the very day of Saturday itself... To my satisfaction the time I put to train myself pays off.. I manage to get in to the Finals on Sunday..

Some of the actions are shown below in my final games..

Men singles final ( Me vs Dave )

Men doubles final ( Me & Ching Yong vs Dave and Nicky )

And the result is

Karate is a martial art developed in the Ryukyu Islands from indigenous fighting methods and Chinese kenpō.It is primarily a striking art using punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes and open-handed techniques such as knife-hands and ridge-hands. Grappling, locks, restraints, throws, and vital point strikes are taught in some styles.A karate practitioner is called a karateka.

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and the national sport of South Korea. It is the world's most popular martial art in terms of number of practitioners.

Jeet Kune Do also Jeet Kun Do or JKD, is a martial arts system and philosophy developed by martial artist and actor Bruce Lee.

Muay Thai is a form of hard martial art practiced in large parts of the world, including Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. Muay Thai has a long history in Thailand and is the country's national sport. Traditional Muay Thai practiced today varies significantly from the ancient art muay boran and uses kicks and punches in a ring with gloves similar to those used in Western boxing.

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that ritualizes movement from martial arts, games, and dance. It was brought to Brazil from Angola some time after the 16th century in the regions known as Bahia, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo. The game is marked by fluid acrobatic play, feints, and extensive use of sweeps, kicks, and headbutts. Less frequently used techniques include elbow-strikes, slaps, punches, and body throws.

And now I present to you the revolution of all.....

Tai Chi Seksi... I found this when I went to Batu Pahat to find Jason.... I guess their fighting art consist of "middle" fingering or "ass" butting. Probably infused with the playboy philosophy.

Genting...yet again...

2008-12-09T20:44:00.000-08:00

I always like genting....I dono why but perhaps its the weather that attracts me there, or perhaps the scenery? Or maybe its the casino......I wonder...lol

But there's fun things you can do there.

For example, probably you could see ppl trying to enjoy posing themselves acting "scared" infront of the falling books.

Or you could join them in doing so.

Or maybe being FORCED to pose infront of the commercial board.

Showing of infront of the double decker

Which that includes me.

And also act cute infront of the nice cottage like stairs.

And drag me together in it ;p

Not to mention that to be proud to be able to imitate the patung exactly...You could see who is the best 1...

And also crash ourselves at CoffeeTerrace, the best buffet restaurant you can get in Genting and posing off to show our satisfactory...

But its a memorable and fun trip with my girlfriend ^^ Luv Ya!!!!

My Graduation

2008-12-09T20:42:00.001-08:00

But hey....if its graduation day..that means all well and went well..The last fortress of genuine studying life is in your university years and I'm glad to know friends from all around Malaysia apart from stressing my days in studying. The convocation took place at the grand hall of Multimedia University at Cyberjaya. As a student in the Malacca branch, I have to travel all the way there to endorse myself in the ceremony...

Yet again...another round..

2008-06-10T22:01:00.000-07:00

Yes...there you go....a bundle of old junk used up shuttlecocks to be seen....White it may seem and useless it may been thought...But who the hell is crazy enough to paint this rubbishes into.....

Yes, the jalur gemilang..and YET AGAIN.... MMU MASTER OPEN 2008 organized by MMU Badminton Club Melaka broke another Malaysia Book of Records by using old shuttlecocks, arranged and fashioned it into a giant Malaysia Flag...Crazy enough? Yes, I agree...

However, the jalur gemilang is not the limelight of the event...Everybody was talking about it. Those who live in the badminton world would had known what is going on in town in Melaka....But why is everybody talking about it or waiting for it?

The committees of the event awaiting anxiously for the arrival of the forte of the event...

And finally it came....this van holds important people and that is.....

Chandra Wijaya...

And thats not all....I present to you....the legendary four from Indonesia...once reign terror in the badminton world.....

From left, Chandra Wijaya, Ricky Subagja, Rexy Mainaky and Tony Gunawan....And well....ignore the guy in red and the small kid in white. ( Our main sponsor and Rexy's son)

Well, this year MMU Master split up into two categories which was close and the open event. The close event cater and cover mostly for participants around Melaka. While the open category had attracted alot of state players around Malaysia and also from BAM itself and the arrival of the legendary four was part of the event acting as the exhibition match.

Rexy during warming up.

Chandra and Tony during warming up.

Ricky partnering Tony

and Rexy partnering Chandra...

Instead of a serious match between those four, well it turned out quite the opposite of what I expect. The match was exciting and funny at the same time lead by funny Rexy cracking up jokes time to time with his teammates and also the spectators around. But well in the end, they did show one hell of their fancy skills in badminton.

Rexy crash to the floor after the exhibition...

For some reason, the players display their rackets leaning it against the A-board. And I swear to god I did have the urge at that moment to grab all four rackets and run off.

Tony and me.

Chandra and me...

And yes....I'm this close to Rexy !!! Lying side by side with him.

Sory Ricky...I cant find the pics i took wif you :(

In the end...all well and end well...Congrats again to the organizers...

Anxiety + Stress + Tiredness = Mental Snap....

2008-05-09T04:55:00.000-07:00

The last pic taken before the exam fever waves in.....

Well...3 weeks before the finals...everything was just so kinda carefree... Time seems to slow down in any activities I did allowing me to breath the air of comfort.

However.... 1 week before the exam......even though I may be doing this...

In no time I'm stuck by the exam fever with or without me realizing it which cause me to act this way...

Many things crush down into my brain like an carnivorous avalanche pushing my thinking and planning limit to the max...What to study, when to study, how to study and where to study...by the time I've figure 15% of the progress.....I'm already looking

like this.....

Well...but still.. there are things need to be done....There is no escaping...The only thing for me to do is to study and score the shit out of my papers even though I may end up..

like this....

Quote for someone:

Eshhh don't always say wrong word.. Make me have to run up and down to find wood.....Tired nehhhhh. Believe in yourself to score and the result will be there...Hope yourself for the best and the strong mentality will kick in.....Push yourself with the "eye of the tiger" and the confidence will roar in you...Heehee ^^
Gambate ya and good luck ohhhh !!!

Pic of the day... :P

Eye of the tiger....

2008-04-16T01:55:00.000-07:00

This movie who acted by this guy that look like an idiot here acted.....inspired me to stay strong and fight for what you want and your dreams. Yes..he looks like an idiot but still inspires me....that is....cause his face was busted by boxers.Rocky....is an old movie back in the 70s..acted by SYLVESTER STALLONE who is a super star now and directed the movie himself. The story of the movie was wrote by him with the content of a boxer who willing to fight for himself to be the best among the best which was in parallel with his real life experience as a nobody who brave through lots of hardship to be what he is today. The quote of what he said in his latest sequel ( Rocky Balboa 2006) was the most inspiring to me...." In order to move forward...you must be willing to take the hits, that is how winning is done"....

The movie showed how he withstand all the vigorous training in order to stay on top of everyone. And because of that, I've began to hunger for achievement with the eye of the tiger...

First of all would be my body fitness...I began to start training AGAIN at gym and had been doing it weekly for alternate days on Mon,Wed and Fri.

Bench press, half squads, bicep curls etc. u name it I did it.

Even Mc.Donalds will go to gym after watching "Rocky" to improve his health instead of just standing outside the restaurant everyday.

I even bought weight lifting glove to enhance my determination. Of course its not the branded one like this "Harbinger" which may cost up to Rm100 or more depending on the quality..... I bought my gloves at "Fitness Concept" at Jaya Jusco with the price of Rm13.90.......

Ok.....I'm not "kiam"....alrite! Let me explain..... The reason I bought a low quality cheap glove rather than a better and expensive one is because I'm not going to be a hardcore weight lifter.......

and finally look like him......( Arnold)

Or even him.........(Bruce Lee)

Back then during 60 arena, I was disappointed with my lacking performance in my badminton game. Due to a long period of non physical training but only match plays, my fitness around the court is deteriorating. So I start off with weight training to built muscles for the game instead. So after being inspired by ROCKY....my main aim is to be like him....

Lin Dan from China...the reigning and still dominating world champion and Number 1 in the world....

Or him....our current Malaysia number 1 but rank 2nd from Lin Dan in the world....

and also last but not least, the almighty Taufik from Indonesia...Was a former world number 1 but still feared by the top ranking players around the world....

In order to be able to do what is he doing....

Of course I would need lots of practices and fitness building. Gymming was one of them and I have to start from scratch to built my fitness for the game, agility around the court and also mental strength to withstand the challenge.
It is not an easy task but high determination and discipline is needed to endure all this activites.... to give out.....

The final roar of winning a game.....

MMU Master Close is this weekend...wish me luck.... ROAR!!

60 Arena!!!

2008-04-14T10:39:00.000-07:00

Finally I'm back....after a long and hectic schedule...I feel life in me again. Omg...the past few weeks was like a long damn war for me..I could have died from heart failure if I was weak. Neway...here is one of the event that I participated and helped out in the mid of my frantic days..

60 Arena.. one of the major event from MMU Badminton Club. The integer 60 was actually to represent 60 hours of non-stop badminton playing in the court itself. Upon completing it, we broke the Malaysia Book of Records.....Read properly r....Not MMU book of records..Its Malaysia...hehe. However, the event was organized in such a way that a minor tournament was held in the morning till evening to occupy the court and during the night, its free play from the organizing committees to do the same thing. 2 video cams was shooting the court by turns as the prove material of the 60 hour event.

One of the nice thing is we get the chance to play on the rubber carpet badminton court. Where you only can see it during major or circuit tournaments in the country.

The condition of the stadium before the tournament starts and er......Mr guy in "white"...I didn't call you to pose when I took this pic....I'm focusing on the stadium....Ignore him please...

Again the stadium but at an angle far from anybody who poses at the sight of a camera..

This is the carpet court I'm talking about...

Spick and span....feel so pro when u step on it....

And I present you.....the famous "cock", a symbol of might of publicity, manufactured by Fleet which is one of the leading badminton brand in Malaysia. TAKE a good look at it....its the biggest "cock" you ever see in the whole world...Well, basically you call it shuttle-cock in the badminton world as the cock is "hit and shuttle up in the air"....but this shuttle cock doesn't fly.....So I think it will be better to call it giant "cock" from Fleet.

This is the environment during the nite....Only few committees around to continue the free play. And we are playing badminton in the early morning of 4am!? Who the hell will be crazy enough to do that.

Resting while taking turns to play.

In the afternoon during the tournament. It seems empty but the crowd came later on.

Me in action( guy in grey)....I took part in the doubles event...but lost in the quarter finals to my MMU teammates.

The lost make me feel kinda devastated.....

I fight so hard....but still I lost the game.....

Was sad for a moment.....

And furious for another moment.....

Didn't thought that I will lose in the quarters and was hoping to advance to the semi..

But oh well.....after some thoughts....It can't be helped.... The only thing I can do is to train harder next time....

Well...this pic was taken during the last day and after the accomplishment of the event....60 hours......and....

Here is the prove!!! Wahlahhhh!!!! Keke

Till then.....will update a new post sooner....

The day that every Chinese waited...

2008-02-05T09:34:00.000-08:00

Its chinese new yearrrrrr which is just around the corner!!! Apart from being chinese, Chinese new year is a very special occasion that we can be proud of.
Celebrating it is totally a whole heartedly easy task however.......preparing for the big day is totally a devastating job.

Here is the list of task that most typical chinese family will do:

1. Buy new clothing.
2. Buy new clothing smemore.
3. Buy new clothing again if can.
4. Don't go the shopping complexes if you do not wish to buy anythg cause you will buy again!
5. Clean the house.
6. Re-adjust your furnitures to enchance the fengshui.
7. Stuffs and ingredients to cook need to be bought early from the market as its always serve as first come first serve basis.Late....and you will just get
chicken or fish bones and even just few leaves of vegetables instead of the whole thing.
8. Prepare for reunion dinner.

Its quite true for task 1 - 4 as I eventually see most people just won't stop buying clothings as the megasales are nuts.50 - 70% discount from the original price......
who the hell will stop themself from buying?... During sales, the whole place were just jam packed wif reluctant to leave buyers especially the aunties that grabbed as many clothes as they can,hold it with their
hands and even hanged on their shoulders and cramped into the changing room while god knows how long they gonna try all the clothes they grabbed.I bought my clothes during the year end sale and realised I had 15 of it when i got home....Its the most I bought
for myself throught the years...OMG. I have enought clothings till Chap Goh Mei... Eventually I bought two more during the CNY sales and that
make 17!!! And I had stopped myself from goin to shopping complexes and even if I did, i try to avoid the garment sections.

Let's go to task 5 and 6 which is probably the hardest task. For CNY, most families will eventualy really clean the whole house from top to bottom. I had to help my family to clean the living room and the porch which includes moving the furnitures away to clean the
whole place nicely and put it back to place and even the gardening jobs. After that, its up to my dad and mom to decide where to RE-PUT the furnitures to the location where they seem would be the best for the new year fengshui which then I was the unwilling claimed to be " Ku li" or carry man. Pushing and carry around
the furnitures was just like working out for two long hours in the gym. I thk my biceps expanded abit....

As for task 7-8...well, usually the dad and moms will do the job. Waking up early in the morning to get fresh fish,chicken, vegetables and etc. It was like goin for a war or smtg on who gets the freshest and juiciest ingreadients for the all long awaited once a year reunion dinner. I have ntg much to write about it as I'm practically
was not involve with this two task ^_^.

Neway, Happy Chinese New Year!

A year older on December

2008-01-16T12:07:00.000-08:00

Speaking of being born on 27 December, here it is the entry on my birthday party.

The gang started off the party with dinner at "Wok and Pan" . Its a "East meet Western food" restaurant.. Well that is what it states from the signboard and my fren recommended me the place. The restaurant do cater a fine menu of eastern and western food ranging from fried rice to chicken chop with standard pricing. Not a bad place to start of with. But as there were a number of us, the food took some time to be delivered.

We've started to get very hungry and some even started to look like this...

But as we finish our food, some look like this...

Gracias~ we manage to finish our dinner happily and satisfied...

After dinner, we went on to another location to finish of the day.We decided to go to "Jasmine Tea House" where we eventually split ed into two groups...

The gambling group who just can't put their eyes away from their cards at hand where one of them had already showing a peace sign signaling his assault to the rest with his "Chor Tai Tee" mega combo and.......

The cam-whore group which can't stop taking pics on themself....

Well, thats how we spend our remaining time there. But from the very top of my heart, I would like to thank those who came to the party.

Chee Meng and Han Chun

Xing Kuan

Kelvin

Hui Ming

Rachael...sory sis..can't find the pic I took with you..

Vivian

Gary

Dun Siang

Dave and Aizek

Chee Kin

and also Hoe Hwang and Yong Ching who went off early, Amanda and Lee Chuan who struck by the exam fever and can't leave their books from their face.

It was one of my memorable birthday party and thanks for everything. You people are great.

The day ends with the cake....

I was born on 27 December ( 1984) which eventually is the 4th last day of the year. I used to brood over the late entry into the world as my friends used to tease me about being the youngest among them. I even blamed my mom for that.But well..those were the days and as I grew up I realized the beauty of my birth day. 27 of December lies between 25 and 31 which is the day of Christmas and New Year. Well look on the bright side, I'll always have triple celebration on every end of the year. A holy and romantic night of Christmas to be bless with, being the king on the day I'm born and a new year to acclaim. I guessed that is much more than enough for me to have the combination of fun+happy+ecstatic and thankful.

I don't think there are any famous celebrities that share the same birth date as me but at least I found two person who had the same birth date which whom both of them are none than my elder god sis Sue Lyn( by claim) and my twin Cheryl ( by claim). Surprisingly,I found out that the three of us do share some common thoughts. Hard to believe? Try find out from the people who were born on the same day as you.

Rats..

2008-01-07T12:30:00.000-08:00

Rats are various medium sized in the rodents family. "True rats" are members of the genus Rattus, the most "important" of which to humans are the black rat, Rattus rattus,where we can see almost anywhere near the sewer or even around the drainage. It is not hard to believe why these rats is almost visible anywhere as most Malaysian shops or "mamak stalls" that sell foods provide them "free food". The family of rats probably just have to wait for the free rations to be poured down into the drain.

NEWAY, I'm not into condemning the malaysian food seller culture of dumping waste in the drain nor I had a grudge against the rats. Just a minor introduction to the real plot I'm cutting in about what I would like to convey on the rat topic.

As depict in the chinese zodiac, the Rat (鼠) was welcomed in ancient times as a protector and bringer of material prosperity. It is an animal associated with aggression, wealth, charm, and order, yet also associated with death, war, the occult, pestilence, and atrocities. Being the first sign of the Chinese zodiac, rats are leaders, pioneers and also considered conquerors. They are also charming, passionate, charismatic, practical and hardworking. The "Rat people" are believed to endowed with great leadership skills and are the most highly organized, meticulous, and systematic of the twelve signs. Intelligent and cunning at the same time, rats are highly ambitious and strong-willed people who are keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agendas, which often include money and power. They are energetic and versatile and can usually find their way around obstacles, and adapt to various environments easily which are very quite true for me. A rat's natural charm and sharp demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone, but rats are usually highly exclusive and selective when choosing friends and so often have only a few very close friends whom they trust. I couldn't agree much on that but I would like to confess that I'm proud to be born in the year of the Rat or been the group of so called "Rat people" .

Persons born within these date ranges can be said to have been born in the "year of the Rat," while also bearing the following elemental sign:

* 31 January 1900 - 18 February 1901: Metal Rat
* 18 February 1912 - 5 February 1913: Water Rat
* 5 February 1924 - 24 January 1925: Wood Rat
* 24 January 1936 - 10 February 1937: Fire Rat
* 10 February 1948 - 28 January 1949: Earth Rat
* 28 January 1960 - 14 February 1961: Metal Rat
* 15 February 1972 - 2 February 1973: Water Rat
* 2 February 1984 - 19 February 1985: Wood Rat
* 19 February 1996 - 6 February 1997: Fire Rat
* 7 February 2008 - 25 January 2009: Earth Rat
* 2020 - 2021: Metal Rat

I was born on 27 December 1984 which make me the wood rat. And its been 11 years since the last time the cycle of the zodiac returns to the leader of the queue.

Hey..rats are cute sometimes too...Happy 2008 to the year of the Rat and hope luck and prosperity will be on our way to the rest of the rat people ;)

Know your size before you compare......

First of all as we all know, this is the all popular eye on Malaysia. It is the tallest portable observation wheel in South-East Asia. The 60-metre structure is located at Titiwangsa Lake Gardens, Kuala Lumpur.

The ferris wheel comprising of 42 gondolas which could hold at least 20 people pergondola (including 1 VIP one) is similar to the London Eye and has been unveiled in conjunction of Visit Malaysia Year 2007 on January 6, 2007 by Malaysian Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

This giant ferris wheel allows visitors to experience a 360-degree panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur during a 12-minute ride that goes 60 meters high. It offers a magnificent view of Kuala Lumpur and over 20 kilometres of its surroundings including KL Tower, Istana Budaya and Petronas Twin Towers.

Eye on Malaysia

This is the Eye on London

and...............

The Eye on Melaka.....

Standing tall at around 15 meters and consist of 17 gondolas which could only hold 4 people for each. It has the magnificent view of the "beautiful" and "clean" river of Melaka and the 1 storey high old ancient grandfather buildings around it. Frankly speaking I was totally not even thinking about going up on it. And what amazed me was, there was a long queue at the ticket booth which cost RM10 per ride on the Eye...

Oh well however....that doesn't stop some people from posing with the wheel...

and..........

some rather than wasting their cash for the ride,prefer to enjoy the view of the river..

Waaaa....

Sian....

The holiday is coming to an end and a new semester is starting just right at the corner. What I did during my holidays? Basically there are nothing much as I had a great deal of plans before my holidays started but only ended up visiting my JB frens for few days. Had a great time there. Its had been 12 years since I last printed my steps at JB. The last time I was there was 1995 when I was in primary school. God ...that is so damn long...I was a regular in KL but stepping back myself in JB makes me feel out of town as I am not familiar with the different structures of the buildings and the environment there. Well...its the second biggest city in Malaysia anyway...

Johor Bahru in the night..

Stayed at one of my fren's place for 3 days 2 nite. But initially was 2 nites and 2 days as I reach Jb on Fri nite and return to Mlk in the evening. Well, my lunch in JB started off with "kueh tiao kia". Smtg like "yong tao fuu" in MLK but the taste was greattttt.

Kueh Tiao Kia

My SECOND lunch is "mee fen kao". Instead of using hands to tear the "kao", this one was made using machine. So its like eatin a perfect thin layer or "kao".

Mee Fen Kao

Then I was brought to 2 famous malls in JB which was

Tebrau City

and

City Square

After that, my frens brought me to the all famous JB's Danga Bay. A relaxing recreational place by the beach, complete with nice restaurants, mamaks and mini funfair.

Too bad I there is ntg like this in MLK except pantai Klebang.. -_- a cozy beach complete with half open mamak, with sampah merata- rata and even used condoms...Yes you heard me, used condoms by the road and the beach if u "searched" nicely...I wonder where that comes from...

Just went to these few places as I had my limited time to go around in Johor. Should had stayed longer to explore the whole city and foods to taste.Thanks everyone for the wonderful hosting.

I can't stop myself from loving her..

1 word to start of with:

ANGRY

OR TULAN in hokkien

Ever been treated like a crap? Ever treated and make u felt that you are not important? Or after u done so much for them u r like "Hello? I'm just standing right here and waving at u? How come you didn't see me? " Or you called ur frens to plan with them for an occasion before their departure to somewhere for sometime and their answer is " oh i DONO oh, c how la " .And the next day when u call them or they replied u " Oh Ah Beng just called me and plan to go there and do this wif him now, u wan join r? " See the instance difference? Oh well..sometimes there are things that could get on your nerve. This situation is one of them because it is ACCEPTABLE if u kena once or twice or thrice but if u kena Again and Again for most of the time..its beginning to make u feel EXCEPTIONAL for that particular person on you. I thk anyone will be unwillingly piss of without knowing or realizing it whenever they kena this situation. I thk that what makes me human. ARGHH! GRRRR!! Have u had this situation?

I just lost my heart to her again....

Boa Kwon is one of the most promising young artists in South East Asia, and she starts performing at the age of 14. She was signed to South Korean record label SM Entertainment in her early teens and then the Japanese label Avex. Her debut album ID: PEACE B made the Top 10 in Korea, and in 2001 signed a recording deal with the label. Since then, all of her singles charted in Oricon ranking (Japanese equivalent of Billboard).

In March 2002, after releasing her first Japanese album LISTEN TO MY HEART, she has become the firstnon-Japanese Asian artist to top the album charts in Japan (charted No.1 in Oricon album ranking on 3/25/2002). Till now she had released tons of singles and albums with equivalent enchanting voice accompanied with the cute look of hers. I WAS but now I just RETURNED as a hardcore fan of her. Its been some time that I've lost track of her songs but for no reason in the middle of the night I took out my cds and listen to all of her songs and mtvs again which some load me with happiness and also emotional feelings. Gosh she is just so gorgeous...and I can't help falling in love to her again...

In her early years..

She's 21 years old now..

Some of her old songs which was my favorites to let u taste on what I mean ^_^

Boa Kwon - My Sweetie

Gentle...

2007-10-09T19:30:00.000-07:00

The one of a kind toilet sign that I've seen so far through out my life was at Melaka Mall's MBO toilet. When I was on my way to the toilet and saw the sign, it eventually stun me right on my tracks for at least 15sec...I was like trying to absorb and accept the fact and of course to be sure I'm entering the correct toilet.

Gentle.......

It's either some pranksters rub off the remaining alphabets or the authorities of MBO have trouble knowing the far range meaning between " Gentle " and " Gentlemen" . If its me, I think it will better off to write " Kang " or " Bu ", male and female in hokkien.
Luckily enough that the universal "Guy" sign is intact. If some pranksters do this with a marker pen....

I think MBO gonna get into hell of a trouble...I'm pretty sure this sign shows " Gentle" "Woman"...

Sleepless nights with Reideen

2007-10-08T04:40:00.000-07:00

For 3 nights now that I actually can't hang on myself to dreamland. Counting sheeps or knocking my head on the wall probably could not do any better.But hey, at least I have tons of animes to stuffs my time around.

I was "captured" by Reideen during my slpless nites. The story takes place in Japan's near future and Saiga Junki enjoys his school life as a normal high school student. One day, he hears that his father, an archaeologist missing for the past 10 years, was found dead in ruins located at Iwate Prefecture’s Mt. Kurokami thus, Junki travels there.

Junki blacks out while in the ruins and witnesses a strange vision. Upon waking, he finds a gold bracelet left beside him with an inscription that reads, "The Great Reideen..."

At the same time, a meteor falls from the sky and a large mechanical beast appears out of a lake. The story illustrates Junki's transference between his normal life during the day and his strange life of fighting by night, the embarrassment of peers, conflict, and human drama in detail.Will the great power that Junki happened to obtain bring him glory... or fear?

I cant stop lifting my hand

Look I just don't feel right if I don't do it..I had just finished my blady exams and I have full of a month to spend freely for myself. For almost a week that I had and approx of 4 x 7 = 28 hours of slp. Comparing to an average person's of 8 hours of slp perday,I think that I don't even feel that I'm sleepin at all. A routine of short slp and study continuously and slp again will just kill any regular person if it goes on for 2 weeks or more. Well it ended anyway, and to mark the dot to the finishing sentences.... its just not much...but just rather a familiar word called...

The World Badminton Championship...which I missed out and I gonna slot this between the existing entries. Well... organized by the MMU Badminton Club, the trip was planned on the finals itself hoping to support any successful finalist of players of our homeland...However..its just so KNN that all of the Malaysia players crashed out. We ended up supporting the Chinese players instead...

On the way in the bus along with the management team who made the trip possible.

The early environment of the Stadium Bukit Jalil before it was packed.

Outside the stadium before the the match started. Armed with 2 balloon like thg which I don't have a clue what it called, I decide to called it " Tong Tong Tong" as it's the sound made by the balloon after knocking both of it together. Almost every spectator were given a pair.

The matches were fairly nice and the most thrilling and exciting was the match of Lin Dan vs Kuncoro for the World Title. Ended with Lin Dan capturing the title 2 years back to back with style...

We end the day with the last shot of the day..

BACK TO CYBERJAYA. After mamak Hassan, we decided to snap some shots at our MMU Cyber campus.

Where some people already can't wait to let the management of MMU to realise the possibility of artistic look of the MMU logo attached with "human potrait".

After that, we decided to roam around Putrajaya to view the scenery of the all famous cybercity of the future. Our jaws almost fell to the ground the moment we book into the place. Due to insufficient time, we took few shots of the buildings and places that we can.

And...in the middle of somewhere at Putrajaya....

We continued our journey to the bridges of Putrajaya which is one of the famous attraction spot and some cant wait to test the strength of the super thick wires holding the bridge.

Trying to test again the agility of the bridge by lifting a "heavy pig"...

"Heavy Pig" lifting...a success..

Novice Cup 2007...an internal competition in MMU Melaka, organized to cater for players with the skill level of school and below..Well...as for this year...instead of school level < Novice , it kinda like school level => Novice...Anyway...the event went well..Congrats to the winners of the tournament.

First day of the event..

I was there to support and guide my trainee. Girl on white on the right side. Mix double finals which is the best match that I've considered...An intense game with both sides almost on par.

And the COACH giving out some points and strategy guide.

The result?....
