Selamat Hari Raya

Well, it's festive season again!!

You have been fasting for a month and it comes to an end now.

Every year at this time, we can get great food quite everywhere. Did you miss them? You know what I am talking about, it's the great food from the Ramathan Bazaars!!!

I didn't miss them this year. At least I went once and got some really yummy food. Hehe.

Anyway, wishing all the Muslims friends...

...Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!! Maaf zahir dan batin...

Those people who drive back to kampung (hometown), drive safely. Slow is better than never reach!!

Friends...

What does the word "FRIENDS" mean for you?

For me, friends can be so different; there are friends who always stay by you whenever happen anything and support you always, friends also can be those we called "hi-bye" friends. So, there are so many kind of friends in our life. Well, I divide friends into 2 groups which are "true friends" and "friends". I wouldn't use the phrase "hi-bye" friends as I think it's not so nice words to use. Hehe.

True Friends- They are always there for you. Whenever anything happen to you, they support you and give you advice. Whenever you are sad, they cheer you up. Whenever you need help, they don't mind to lend their hands for you. They are the people you can talk to when you need to talk to someone. True friends have endless topics to talk together. So, you must be wondering when and how I know whether they are true friends or friends right? It's super easy. You will know when you are in trouble and need helps from friends. Then, you will find out who are they exactly!! 

Friends- It's simple!! They are just the people who come to your life and you know his/her name, you know simple information of him/her. You guys do not keep in touch very often and you have nothing much to talk when you meet up. When you are in trouble, they might concern you but give you rediculous advice which you don't wish to hear because you know it is NOT going to work. Well, that's just my definition of "friends"

So, after reading my definitions of "true friends" and "friends", how many people around you belong to the groups? 

Do your calculation BUT do not need to tell me!!

It has been long.....

Hi people!!

It has been really long since I update my blog here last time. Hmmm.... Well, just too many things happened recently. It was tough but I am still hanging there. I started my working life here and I am fortunate to get this job. Even though it's quite stressful at the moment, I believe in myself. I can do it!! I always believe that "If you think you can, YOU CAN!!" So, I am just dealing with the whole new environment and getting use to it. Looking at the $$$, try to forget the stress!! (So Chinese huh? Haha)

Well, that's life! Isn't it? I considered my life is colourful so far, this is what make my life interesting too! Just keep fighting for every single obstacle and get rid of them. It's my life after all. If you don't fight for your life, who else going to fight for you? Am I right?

......Keep fighting......

Home...

I like the song "Home" sung by Michael Buble since the first time I heard. Well, he is not the original singer of the song while many other singers sang this song before. I just like the melody and the meaningful lyrics of the song. Other than that, I like his voice too! He is an amazing singer and with his voice, he is such a big STAR since he joined the industry. He has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide!!

For me, HOME is a place with the people you love and the people whom love you too. When you come back, you always feel like there are hands always welcome you back. Also, there are things waiting for you to share and enjoy together. The place makes you feel warm and relaxed anytime you step in the "box". You should have many belongings at home and every single belonging has its own story behind. You appreciate every single thing and people at home. This is HOME for me...

What about you? What is a HOME?

Say Goodbye to Pudu Jail (1895-2010)

Does the pictures above look familiar for you? Yes!! It's our Pudu Jail located along Jalan Pudu.

I bet you must have seen it since you were very young, right?

Started from 21st June 2010, Pudu Jail will be only in our memory as our government decided not to keep this heritage site of our country, it is more than 100 years!! 

Do the calculation by yourself please, 2010-1895=??

YES!! It is 115 years old!!

The Pudu Jail wall, stretching about 300 meters, was demolished at 10pm on the 21st June, 2010. The wall paintings are painted by the prisoners years ago and the paintings are turning into small pieces like a puzzle. What a sad thing, right?

You must be wondering why the heck the government decided to demolish a heritage site of the country, right? Well, I couldn't figure it out neither. Maybe they just feel like it looks ugly in the middle of the city? But I believe that Pudu Jail used to be one of the tourist attractions in the city.

However, we couldn't do anything about the decision of government. Pudu Jail will just stay in our memory now. Found a video which captured and witnessed the demolition of Pudu Jail at 10pm, 21st June 2010.

Rest In Peace, Pudu Jail

(1895 - 2010)

Decision...

... is always a very difficult thing to make. Don't you agree? When you come to a point which you need to make a decision out of so many choices, it is always hard to choose. You might be wondering which one is the best for you and what are the pros and cons of the options you have in front of you.

Well, normally what would you do? Just try first and see how things go? Or analyse of the options and see which one will be the best suit yourself? For me, I will see and think which one will be the best for myself and for my future. I will ask myself these questions:

What way this path will bring me to?

Will I be success in this?

What are the good and bad things?

Where will I be in the next 5-10 years?

Why 'A' but not 'B'?

How to reach our goals?

I would still back to the basic what I learnt in the school, which is the questions of Ws and H..... Don't you think that these words are really useful when you need to make decisions? However, we still make some wrong decisions in our life. 

We are human, we make mistakes and THAT'S LIFE!! We learn from mistakes and do not scare to fail, and we need to stand up again even though it might be a big failure.

Bees attack South Africa!!

OMG!! There are bunches of bees attack South Africa!!

Well, have you been watching FIFA 2010? If yes, you must realised that the background sound throughout every match, right? And do you know what sound is that? Bees flying over the stadiums? Nah!! How can be every game has bees flying over?!?!

Just in case you do not know what kind of sound is that, let me tell you here.

The audiences make the noise?

Hmmm..... They are the one who make the noise, but with the thing on their hands. Look like a horn, right? For your information, this horn named vuvuzela. Vuvuzela is the one which make this annoying noise throughout EVERY game!! Don't you feel that it's annoying and have lost the atmosphere of soccer games?

I does!! Even though I am not a big fan of soccer, but I still get annoyed by this sound made by vuvuzela. They even thought of banning vuvuzela for this FIFA 2010, but at the end they didn't because they said this is the "culture" of the host country. Well, as I know, it's not originated from South Africa!! The very first time vuvuzela used was in 1970s by Mexicans. Vuvuzela only became popular in South Africa since 1990s. 

It's freaking 20 years after!!

And you know what? It causes NOISE POLLUTION too!!

Closer look of vuvuzelas!!
