Live Positively!

I was talking with my friends, I told them I only wish to live for another 10 years after my retirement (if I really need to work until 55 years old). Then they were surprised and concluded I’m a pessimist. Really? But I thought usually I projected a very positive image to others? Or maybe I’m very selfish person, I don’t want to see people dying, especially those who are very close to me.

But of course, those who commented I’m a pessimist are close friends, so, I think maybe they are right to a certain extend too.

Then there’s a day I went to my friend – Jeff’s office and saw something interesting – a jug with a lot of colourful and attractive pieces, jug label written Live Positively!

Contents: 100 pieces of positive messages and quotations to inspire and encourage positive living.

Suggested serving: Ready to serve anytime of day. Best served one at a time. You’ll find yourself more positively energized.

I was eager to get one for a very close friend of mine and myself. Jeff’s one was a gift and the sender bought it from Popular Bookstore, later I also find it in MPH (Mid Valley). There are some other title for “Messages in a Jar” too, Live Happily, Romantic notes and … (opps… I forgot). So, I bought myself the “Live Positively” and bought my friend the “Live Happily” (I really wish you to live a happier life).

Now, I will draw a message from the jar each day before I go to work, want to know what I’ve got? I’ll share some that I like from time to time.

Feb 15 – The quickest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to lose love is to hold it tightly. The best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Feb 25 – I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something I can do. – Edward Everett Hale -

Feb 28 – There are many things in life that will catch your eye, only few will catch your heart… pursue those.

Mar 2 – Be like a postage stamp – stick to one thing until you get there.

Mar 4 – Don’t run through life so fast that you’ve forget not only where you've been but also where you are going. Life is a journey to be savoured each step of the way.

Misc...

Last couple of months, I've been traveling and flying intensively, to east coast, perlis, kedah... and because I'm leaving the company, I treasured each and every time I fly... airport will never be my favourite place, because em... I'm mostly alone, that place is too cold, not the temperature, but the overall feeling when I was there... maybe airport management should hire a clown or bring a circus in airport... hehe

I'm not a big fans to public transport, merely because in KL, it's more convinient to drive than stuffing yourself into a train or bus. However, I like taking KLIA transit to KLIA, it's convenient, fast and comfortable... a a, not doing any advertisement for them, but this is what I feel.

Do you see this train is coming my way or leaving?

sometimes, happy or sad, they are just divided by a thin line, broaden your view and you will definately see more...



A pair of good shoes is essential, because they will bring you farther. I like wearing this pair of shoes, they look pretty and good in my feet, but, they are not comfortable at all...
I don't like changes, yes, I got a very high tolerancy, easy to adapt, well, those are my strength I guess, but I'm also lazy to get use to new thing, people and place... However when there's time to change, although it might not be logical, you just have to follow your heart.

I feel sorry for my selfness, being so might hurt others, I just wish to stand strong to who I am. Wish me luck, lots of LUCK!!!

While Waiting...

Although Malaysia is a tropical country, I think we still have different "seasons", raining season (toward the end of the year), sunny season (around CNY), flower season (after CNY), fruiting season (after flower season)... If I can only choose a specific one that I like... I will choose fruiting season... it's very happy to see what you plant (effort that you put in) reward you with fruits. Of course not all flower can become a fruit... but at least, when you see flower, there's something you can look forward... some ppl like to be in "expecting" phase...

I think these are same species with different sex

I took these pictures while I was waiting for my ex-colleague to pass me company car @ UE3...

Sometimes, we just need to slow down to see what we have in hand, see, while waiting, I have the green and colourful flowers as company...

When is your last time appreciate wonderful stuff surrounding you?

人"望"高处 vs. 饮水思源

Sorry for English readers... this will be a Chinese post.

988每逢礼拜六有个节目叫B咖讨生活，其中有个单元叫B咖痞子论，DJ Joe和彪明就会拿一些我们生活中常面对到的矛盾点开话题。。。 例如：我们做事应该要三思而后行还是冲冲冲？这两位DJ的口才和学问不容置疑，他们的论点大都句句到肉，想要表达的并不是谁对谁错（我认为），只是我们这些受华文教育、自小被儒家思想熏陶的一群，常会因为找不到那所谓的“中庸”而开始乱了阵脚。

拍以下照片的时候我没有太多想法，只是觉得站在我家楼下往上看的这一幕非常吸引。（有人还曾经在这楼上不知何故想不开往下跳呢！）
站在我拍这一张照片的位子，往下看是一条小沟渠，然后是一条从警卫亭进入我们这个公寓的必经之道，在然后就是山坡和树林了。

我相当喜欢这张照片。。。原因不祥 （我常喜欢一样东西但不知所以然）。看着看着让我想到一个还蛮符合（我觉得）给B咖痞子论拿来开讲的话题（也不知道是否这话题曾出现过在节目中） - 人往高处 vs. 饮水思源

这矛盾让我烦恼了大概一个星期，后来我的决定 - 人往高处 （饮水思源我做过，但跌很伤，或许因为这样我选择前者）。
可能会有人质问我，“何谓高处？”，我认为，我的人生或许连自己都还未看清去向，难道让外人来为自己定位“高处”有好一点吗？

Fading...

Everything will fade away but love...

Yesterday my friend asked me, what kind of partner that I'm looking for...
My answer: I don't know, I don't seems to believe in love anymore... (I used to believe that I can't live without love)
love & bread... I am not sure if I can survive without love, but without the bread, I definitely can't live (nanana, don't get me wrong, my live is still full of love, love from my friends and family, and their love to me is eternal, I'm thankful to them)

I'm wondering... is it because I understand myself more when I'm getting older or time has changed me to be this realistic/ materialistic?
Whatever it is, I still believe, everything will fade away but love won't.

Roses withered
Colors faded
Love stays...

天使与海豚 (Angel & Propoise)

今晚在988听到张韶涵这么说：“天使好想给海豚一个吻，可是情海那么神秘那么深；海豚想给天使一个拥抱，可是天使的家住得那么高。。。”（句子不100%正确，但大概有那个意思）。这句话让我若有所思，我心里想，天使和海豚彼此相爱着，即使它们距离再远，它们的爱应该是至死不渝的吧！那，如果海豚想要给天使一个拥抱，但天使只是感受到而不做任何回应或它根本就不懂得珍惜，我想，海豚的爱也会有耗尽的一天吧！

http://blog.xdnice.com/user1/110/archives/2006/38001.shtml

紧接着，电台播放了一首张韶涵的新歌，歌名叫做[亲爱的，那不是爱情]，顿时，出现裂痕的玻璃心，碎了。

愿天下有情人，珍惜眼前人！

祝情人节快乐！Happy Valentine's Day!

Fairy Tales

Fairy tales are poisonous... oh, I'm sorry, I know I'm a very bad devil, but come on, we are all living in reality, have you ever wonder what's after "happily ever after"?Prince and princess love at first sight, or they don't even know each other before the prince fight so hard to rescue his princess, and blindly think that she is the one? But, frankly speaking, I really admire or, I envy their courage...

Micheal Wong, a very talented Malaysian composer and singer, he has a song named 童话 (Fairy Tales). In the chorus, he said
"我愿变成童话里你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信, 相信我们会像童话世界里
幸福和快乐是结局"
(I will become an angel, protect you with my wings, just like in the world of fairy tale, you gotta believe, believe that we will be together happily ever after)
However, for me, I don't need him to be an angel, I don't expect him to be with me all the time, he don't even need to promise me any fairy-tale happily ever after ending, but I hope we can write our own story together...
This is not easy tho, if both of the partners have no courage to make the first move.
哎，爱真的需要勇气...
(We need courage to love...)

Gentleman or Fake It?

There's a saying, if a guy open the door for a girl, either the car is new or the girlfriend is new. What if neither the car nor the girlfriend was new, the guy still open the door for the girl? Do you think he is a real gentleman or he is trying to fake it? Well, what is the difference between these?

Gals, questions for you: Are you attracted to gentleman? Have you met anyone who is a real gentleman? What have they done to you or anybody that make you think he is a real gentleman?

Guys, here are yours: Do you consider yourself a gentleman? What is the most "gentleman" thing that you have done to a girl or anybody?

Okay, I need to share something here, there's a day, I was accompanying my good friend to meet her hometown friend. They have not seen each other for 13 years. Before meeting him, we shopped around and bought a lot of stuffs. Then we met him in a restaurant where we gals had our lunch and later we decided to have our dessert else where. When we stood up and about to leave the restaurant, he offered himself to carry our paper bags (remember? We bought real lots of stuffs.) I think this is very sweet, he is very considerate. When we went in to Baskin Robin to buy our ice-cream, he offered to give us a treat!

Don't get me wrong, we are not those kind of girls who always looking for guys to do these things to us, we are independent and we can take care of ourselves. No exceptional for this time, we still carried our own stuffs and pay for our ice-cream, but, his offers made us think he is a nice guy.

Then, while eating, we spilled the ice-cream on the table, and he is kind enough to walk to the counter, asked for more serviette for us. Lastly, before we said goodbye to each other, he took the initiative to walk us to the lift to the carpark. Me and my good friend were really absolutely impressed by him. He definitely deserved a thumb up and credit from us.

Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? Gentleman or fake it?

Kitman & the gentleman

What does Love mean?

Rebecca- age 8

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4 (so sweet…)

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."

Terri - age 4 (genius!)

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"

(Well, for me, I think some of the statements up there are not suppose to come out from a child’s mouth. But I love them, they are direct, pure, innocent… they speak what’s in their mind. If you ask me the same question, “What does Love Means?” Oh, I’m not sure if I can write a single word out. However, for me, LOVE should be unconditional.)

Hooked on You

今天看了一部电影 - 每当变幻时(Hooked on You)，这是一部由杨千桦(Miriam Yeung)和陈奕迅(Eason Chan)所主演的电影。其实我很喜欢看港产片，只是时常找不到人陪我看，而错失了很多电影。看这部电影是临时决定的，我没抱太大希望，只因为喜欢杨千桦，所以就想到去捧一捧场，好好地笑一笑。起初我还以为这是一部轻松小品，也没错啦，不过这部电影比我想象中认真，也启发了我的一些想法。

故事的开头是主角阿妙（杨千桦饰）的一段旁白。她说一个不懂英文的人让她认识了一个英文字，那就是MISS。MISS是一个多意字，这字的第一印象会让你想到什么意识呢？对我来说，我想到的是“想念”。

Miss [mis], n（对未婚女子的称呼）姑娘，小姐

Miss [mis] vt/i 1未击中；未得到；未达到；未看见. 2惦念；想念；3 ~out (on sth)未得到某物；在某事上不成功. Miss sth out省掉；遗漏. ~ing adj失去的；下落不明的. n击不中；达不到.

故事大纲可参考以下网页：

http://hk.promo.yahoo.com/movie/hoy/#

昨天我刚读了一篇文章，内容述说了一些作者初恋情人对她做过的一些浪漫往事。读过文章后，我一直在想，我到底做过什么浪漫的事，别人又对我做过什么浪漫的事？而我也问了几位男性朋友，他们觉得做过最浪漫的事又是什么？我的好朋友就这样回答我，他说，只要对象对了，所有与他一起经历，大大小小的事都可以很浪漫。例如与她吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，看一部电影等等。今天，非常惊讶的，类似文字出现在电影中。故事说到，陈奕迅饰演的鱼佬陪阿妙逛商场，阿妙很想要一个像Prada的Gucci钱包。于是鱼佬买了一个钱包，在杂志内撕下一页广告当礼物纸，刚好广告中有一段文字写着“浪漫可以是苦心经营；感动来自生活的点滴。”但很可惜，当他把礼物送给阿妙的时候，鱼佬在阿妙还来不及看到那段文字就帮她把礼物拆开。很可惜。

电影里的“MISS”并不是“想念”，而是“错过”。阿妙为了自己的梦想和一个无聊的坚持错过了很多机会。她一直梦想自己能够在30岁前把父亲的债务还清，然后嫁一个值得嫁的人。30岁之前她知道自己的路该如何走，30岁之后它完成了一半的梦想，把债还清，也拥有一份满意的事业，但在感情生活上她迷失了，更正确的应该是说，其实她一直有一个值得她嫁的人，但她因为某个无聊的坚持而错过了他。

我似乎在电影中也看到自己，我和阿妙的共同点是我也在10年时间里错过很多东西，但她在10年后终于知道自己要的是什么而我却还认不清自己的去向。

(English version)

I’ve watched a HK movie today – Hooked on You, acted by Miriam Yeung and Eason Chan. Actually I always like to watch HK movie, but sometimes I missed it because nobody want to watch HK movie with me. I didn’t expect much from this movie, we decided to watch it just because I like Miriam. I thought I was just a simple comedy, yes, it is still a comedy but with some inspiring factors.

Story begins with a narration from the main character, Ah Miu, she said she has learned an English word from somebody who doesn’t know English, and the word is “MISS”. “MISS” has multiple meaning, but which meaning first cross your mind? For me, the first meaning that came to my mind was “to regret the absence or loss of something” (I miss you).

Miss [mis], n Used as a courtesy title before the surname or full name of a girl or single woman.

Miss [mis] vt/i 1 to fail to hit or strike, to fail to encounter, meet, catch 2 to regret the absence or loss of, 3 to fail to perceive or understand n a failure to hit something, an omission.

Summary of the story see following websites:

http://hk.promo.yahoo.com/movie/hoy/#

http://www.hookedonyouthemovie.com/

Yesterday I have read an article, which the author was sharing some romantic stuff that her ex-bf has done to her. After reading, I was thinking, have I ever do something romantic or when was the most romantic moment that I have ever experienced? I have asked a few guy friends, and my best friend answered me like this, when you are with the right person, whatever you do together with that person, it can be romantic, e.g. having a nice dinner or watching a movie with him/her. Today, surprisingly, I got a similar answer in the movie. In the movie, Ah Miu said she want a Gucci wallet with Prada design. So, the fish man (Eason Chan) bought her a wallet and wrapped with an advertisement page in a magazine. In the advertisement, there’s a meaningful sentence saying, Romance can be manage and touch is a feeling accumulated in your life (I hope I translate the sentence right). But, Ah Miu missed it because Fish Man helped her unwrapped the gift before she read the sentence.

The “MISS” in the movie wasn’t talking about “missing somebody”, but “missed out something”. Due to a “non-sense” principle of Ah Miu, she has missed a lot of opportunities when she was pursuing her dream. She always wanted to pay off her father’s dept before 30 and married a guy who worthwhile marrying. Before 30, she is very clear with what she want; but after 30, although she has fulfilled half of her dream, she paid off all her father’s dept and she has a satisfying career, but relationship wise, she was lost, or in other way of saying, she has missed a guy who is worthwhile marrying due to her “non-sense” principle.

I sort of saw myself in the movie, me and Ah Miu has a similarity, we missed a lot of things in 10 years, however, after 10 years, Ah Miu finally know what she want but I’m still finding my way out.

To My Soul Mates

Oh, I'm going to post something which is not related to the title of my blog. But I don't care, because I want to share with all of you, how grateful am I to have special friends and soul mates and I always wanted to express my love to them. But, ermmm, you know, I'm not a good writer, and hey! I bumped into 2 poems that speak my mind today. So, I'm going to quote both of the poems here.



My secondary school mate... Chih Mun, Kitman, Chee Hong, Jenn Woei, Weng Hing, Qiao Yi, Pik Sim and etc.

I am so glad that you are a part of my life
It is a privilege - to know you, to share myself with you, and to walk together on the paths that take us in so many beautiful directions.

I had heard of “soul mate” before, but I never knew such a person could exist – until I met you.

Somehow, out of all the twists and turns our lives could have taken, and out of all the chances we might have missed, it almost seems like we were given a meant-to-be moment – to meet, to get to know one another, and to set the stage for a special togetherness.

When I am with you, I know that I am in the presence of someone who makes my life more complete then I ever dreamed it could be. I turn to you for trust, and you gave it openly. I look to you for inspiration, for answer, and for encouragement, and – not only do you never let me down - you lift my spirit up and take my thought to places where my troubles seem so much farther away and my joys feel like they’re going to stay in my life forever.

I hope you’ll stay forever, too. I feel like you’re my soul mate. And I want you to know that my world is reassured by you, my tomorrow‘s need to have you near, so many of my smiles depend on you, and my heart is so thankful that you’re here.

~ Carey Martin

A33 siao za bo... Siow Hui, Shook Fun, Keat, Ling Tze, Ti Min, Karen, Emily, Joanne, Jojo and of course due to our irresistible attraction, the group getting bigger and bigger.

Special people are those who have the ability to share their lives with others. They are honest in word and deed, they are sincere and compassionate and they always make sure that love is a part of everything…

Special people are those who have the ability to give to others and help them with the changes that come their way. They are not afraid of being vulnerable: they believe in their uniqueness and are proud to be who they are.

Special people are those who allow themselves the pleasures of being close to others and caring about their happiness. They have come to understand that love is what makes the difference in life.

You are a very, very special person who truly makes a beautiful difference in this world.

~ Deanna Beisser

My colleagues and friends... Elaine, Poh Yee, Winnie & Jeff

Thank you... my dearest friends, these are dedicated to all of you.

p/s: dedicated to soul mates and good friends who are not showing in pictures above. (mainly because I don't have nice picture of you, not because you are not my good friends.)

认真

Before I start my topic, I need to apologize to those who don't read Chinese. I will try to translate what I write later. But for the moment, I wish to express my feeling in Chinese, because of the fluency. Will do the translation either tomorrow or the day after.

今天早上，也不知道为什么，“认真”这词突然在我脑海中浮现。突然很想象以前上华文课那样，老师给了个主题，我们就必须在两节课的时间内完成一篇作文。好，那么，今天我的主题就是“认真”。

最近想了很多东西，大部分都是琐碎但又不得不去解决和必须认真面对的问题。所以啊，好想唱一段S.H.E.的歌曲-“我不想，我不想，我不想长大！长大后世界就没有花”。噢！好像要离题了咯！回到“认真”这主题，我时常认为，无论是男、女、老或少，认真生活的人最有魅力了。就好像，某一天我和我的同事一起吃饭，主厨以他那熟练的工夫认真烹调我们的酱蒸鱼头，即使，主厨的样子的确有一点抱歉，或换句话说他的成熟稳重不是我那杯茶，但是就因为他认真，所以我觉得当时的他特别有魅力。

再看一看自己，我好像也没有真得很认真做过任何东西，嘿！朋友们，我有认真为你们做过些什么吗？或，你们又看过我认真做事的样子吗？这让我联想起另一个问题，我的嗜好是什么？别人说，当你在做自己喜欢的事，你一定会花很多心思、付出你最大的努力去把它完成。我嘛，很多时候都是三分钟热度，所以都没有特定的嗜好。若勉强要我说，我爱唱歌吧！但都不是什么正经的嗜好，对我也没什么太大的帮助，顶多能够帮我减减压而已。

我所欣赏的歌手，如陶吉吉、力宏、张学友等，他们的共同点是，也对啦，是男人，但他们都有一些共同的特质，那就是他们很认真地对待他们的事业，他们的音乐还有他们身边的人，你看罗美薇多幸福！可能就是爱音乐吧，所以我很容易就会被玩音乐的人吸引。

上星期五我陪一位旧同事，Theresa，去捧她小时候玩伴，Martin，的场，他是一位玩爵士乐的鼓手，和几位同伴在Top Hat Restaurant驻演。对我这外行人来说，他们的表演让我对爵士乐有更深一层的认识。他们乐队的名字叫Bopli City。队长，Julian是一位Saxophone手，Trumpet手叫Eddie，拉Double Bass的叫Vincent，还有一位钢琴手，但我到现在还是记不起他叫什么名字。他们的fans也不赖哦，很多都是从开场就支持他们到散场，有些还是在大老远来支持他们的呢。中场的时候他们即兴邀请了一位从英国来的Jazz vocalist上台和他们飙歌，终场结束前连一位比较老练的Saxaphone手也忍不住上台小露一手。虽说即兴，但表演得非常赞，一点都不马虎。若说他们的表演无懈可击，好像太夸张了，但重点是，他们对爵士乐的热诚还有他们表演时那认真的神态就真的魅力非凡。请原谅我不能一一在这说明他们的魅力所在，因为我对爵士乐真的一窍不通，好听就是了。若你想体验他们的魅力，不妨在周末的时候到他们驻演的餐厅捧场吧！

你看吧，都说我一定会离题，可见我的华文和写作能力，甚至表达能力真的一般。但最后我还是那一句，认真的男人最帅；认真的女人最美。我也希望有一天我能够认真地完成一件什么伟大的事情。祝福我吧！我也祝福你们能够在人生中有所成就。

English:

This morning, don’t ask me why, the word “conscientiousness” just popped up in my mind. So, I was thinking to write an article about the topic.

Lately been thinking a lot of trifling stuffs, and I can’t stop thinking about it. Can I not growing up and stay innocent, so I don’t have to face it? Oh, seems like my above sentence doesn’t really match my topic. Ok, let’s come back to it next time. Talking about conscientiousness, I always think that, regardless you are guys or girl, young or old; when you live your life seriously, you will be really attractive. For example, that day, I was meeting my colleague for lunch, although the chef wasn’t really handsome, or say it this way, his type wasn’t my cup of tea, but when watching him conscientiously preparing and cooking our dishes, I think, at that moment, he is very attractive.

When I look at myself, I can’t remember if I ever be conscientious to anything. Hey friend, have I? This has also reminded me another question, what’s my hobby? Others said, if you like to do something, you will give your best to it. But, most of the time, I’m just hangat-hangat tahi ayam la, hahaha, am I spell the Malay sentence right? So, I don’t really have a long term hobby. Or maybe singing is my hobby. Not a serious one, but it can help me to de-stress.

Singer that I like include David Tao, Lee Hom and Jacky Cheung, they have something in similar, besides they are all man, they treat their career, music and their family or the one that they love seriously. Maybe it’s because I like music, I can easily being attracted to those musician or artist.

Last Friday, I was accompanying my ex-colleague to watch a jazz performance at Top Hat Restaurant. The drummer, Martin is her childhood friend. Honestly, I know nothing about jazz music, but the pieces that they played are very nice. The band named Bopli City. Band leader called Julian; he is a saxophonist, Eddie played trumpet, Vincent played double bass and there is another pianist which I don’t remember his name. They have great fans also; most of them came from far and supported them till the end.

During their second session, they invited a guest from UK and he is a jazz vocalist to jam with them. Before the session end, another saxophonist sifu also can’t help but went on stage to jam with them as well. Although that was an ad-lib, but it was absolutely a good jam. Ok, maybe I wouldn’t say it’s perfect, but the point is, they are good and attractive due to their passion to jazz and their conscientious performance. Forgive me for not being able to describe why I think their performance is good, because I really know nothing about jazz, but if you would like to experience it, you can check on their schedule.

Check on the link above.

See, I think I’m out of topic, now you know I can’t really write a good essay and I’m not an expressive person. Lastly, like what I mention above, those who live their live seriously are gorgeous and attractive. I wish one day, I can conscientiously pursue my dream. Wish me luck! And I wish all of you live a successful life!
