Is just historical

Eating mooncake while listening to "yua liang tai piau wo de jia" and staring on moon outside of my window, I suddenly feel I am so old....

I remember mid autumn was a time for lot of fun. I use to have parade with little bunny lantern....We walk the whole neighbourhood while sing the moon song. I remember how some neighbour will lay a table full of fruits as offering to the goddess of moon. It was once said that 2 god have fall in love each other and since it was forbidden in goddess world, they are seperated and only on the full moon of 8th moon in lunar calendar, they are allow to meet. This is why today is also consider as valentine day for some chinese. Well, not much people believe it nowadays after our astraounaut found there is nothing in moon except rock!

Beside parading, I remember i always play masak masak with my neighbour....Gear with 2 brick and one Milo tin cover, we melt few candle as oil for cooking. Simply find grass, wild chilli near the longkang, wild berries beside the drain and some mint leave and curry leave.....the aroma created was so nice.....

I remember how at the end of the day, we burn the candle and campak all the paper lantern and let it burn....We only keep our nice bunny, chicken, sailormoon, ultraman or what so ever shape lantern while the cheap paper lantern will never survive till next year festival.....

It was all old story....Is history now....Remember the past is so nostalgic...

How i hope time can be turn off and we are back to childhood where there is only happiness and no worries....

"Yua liang yuan, yua liang yuan, yua liang chou chai wo de jia"......Happy Mid Autumn....

Happy Mid Autumn

Hope everyone enjoy great moon cake while appreciate the round moon tonight...

Happy Mid Autumn to my dearest reader....

Jam is finally over

The controversial Jambatan Kota in Klang is finally done. The bridge is finally open for user for both way and Klangite can no longer suffer heavy jam everyday...

After years of suffering, I realise, there is actually no different between the old road and the new bridge except it was uplifted to higher level and create more uneven road.....Still don't understand why driver need to go up and down 3 bridges to go to federal highway!!!

I feel like blogging

Out of sudden, today i got mood to blog....

It have been a while since my serious blog post. For the past few months I have done a lot of things but I have yet to disclose it in my blog. The much anticipated post on Vietnam seem ages to be posted.....My happy moment of passing exam was not even been 'heboh heboh' here.....not even about my promotion in work place...

Last week I have a holiday in Singapore and Star Cruise in penang and up to now there is not even a single photo uploaded here.....I feel so guilty...

I dunno why....maybe i am no longer as open, transparent and willing to share so much as what I did last time....or maybe due to changes of working lifestyle and environment....

But, i make a pledge today that I gonna start back blogging very soon...with more trips....more foods.....more event....and definately more fun...

Near to perfect

Monday was a perfect day.....well, near perfect...

In the early morning I arrive the meeting hall a little early so I could walk around the sales gallery as well. I maintain a positive mind although I know the day will be doom, sad and disappointment.

I received call from my boss saying he will be on medical leave. He left some message and work for us to follow up....Well, as usual, I say Ok....knowing today my mind will be distrected.

The forum cum meeting started at 9 and drag until 12noon. By 11am, everyone is tired and most people mind are no longer with those presentation.

Is 12.15noon, one of my friend text me "Result out! Faster check".......I ignored.

2 minutes later, another message coming in. "Hey how result"

I reply my friend...."how is yours? i on forum, no internet to check" and he reply short after that with a good news that he pass his P1 paper....

My mind was no longer with the forum. My hand start to ichy and was wondering around whether should I borrow the iphone from the manager sitting beside me...What if I fail? Whole hall will know it...

Suddenly a sms come in.."Hey joo....congrat, your P2 63, P5 51...u graduated"

I know this is reason to be happy. Knowing my friend had hack my email to check my result....

I choose not to believe the sms and i ask her back how true is that...how come she can check my result....

On the same time, since i already know my result, i decided to borrow the iphone from the manager beside just to check the result....

When i on the Gmail, i notice the result was yet to be read.......I paused....I ask myself, is my friend cheating on me...Is Unread!!!

Taking a deep breath, i decided to click on it. My manager on my left are equally excited while the manager on my left who borrow me the iphone are more than excited to also know how i perform........

When the message open, my eye was not actually looking at the marks....I was searching around the marks but I just couldn't find...Maybe I was too excited....The only word i saw is "you are now affiliate".........

For the rest of the forum, I swear, my mind was halfly gone.....SMS pouring in as thought it was my birthday....I was far more than happy but I just can't show how happy am since top management are in the meeting....

To me the day was totally the most happy day in life. Is just a perfect day......Minutes and hours pass by.......I learn that there is lot other was actually not that lucky as me this round...I know that my day wasn't that perfect anyway...

It have been 3 days since the result release.....Now what i feel is just a normal day.......Erm....seem like passing ACCA is just a day happiness....

I am a happy pig today

No word can ever describe my feeling now....

I am just too happy....for everything.....

I have finally done it....I am now ACCA affiliate....yahooooooooooooooo

Friday the 13

I am down with Influenza again.....Sore Throat, Fever, Flu and Cough....well a full package of sickness....just like buying 3 in 1 coffee...

Start to have mild sore throat on the first day of hungry ghost month....follow by worst continueous sickness until I was really down on Friday 13...

Anyway, black friday that come once this year proven to be real black day for me....Sleep in the ebd for 17 hours hoping to cure my sickness..

Just now on the way back to my house, the radio is airing some horrible story about hungry ghost month...

There is saying that during the prayers "Por Tor" there should be no item that is still alive been put on top of the food table that is serve for the unseen soul...There is one case of a parent accidentally put her baby on top of the table unattended. After a few second, when the parent try to look for the baby, it is gone. There is a pool of blood left at the table.....True or not...I am not sure...

There is also saying that during hungry ghost month it is normal that you will hear people knocking at your door especially during mid night. Then it will be follow by the sound of "susu...susu".....Rumour saying that parent and infant die due to poverty thus the soul is finding for people to give them milk...

I study in a school that is the oldest in Klang. Many story about how our school is haunted especially our school field is used to be the place where japanese army march and torture those victim.....There is story from the scout that they hear japanese song and people marching during the midnight....Our school lab is also full of story as it was place where bodies were buried. There is story of hands appearing from the ground trying to drag some student down....To add the horror, our biology lab is always cold, dark and full of specimen of dead snake, bird, fish, mice, human organ and human bones....

What ever it is.....there is one chinese saying that kinda true if you believe it....Don't feel scare if you do nothing wrong....I believe soul will not be harmful...

Yeah....i hope so.....hope tonight i still can sleep nicely without any horror nightmare...

I am small small bird

Weak.....
My wings are small...
My wings are weak...
My muscle is not powerful to lift my heavy body
to fly away...
and find my very own freedom

Exhausted
My stamina is lack...
My breath get slow...
My wings is just too tired to flip again...

Why am I such a small bird?...
When would I fly like an eagle then?...




I know one day....I will grow stronger...
I would then soar as high as eagle...
Time will bring the powerful eagle to an old eagle
I would then surpass the arrogant eagle...
Because I am now a small small bird...
That flip the wings so hard...though it was tiring...
Trying to go to same level as the eagle...
I know one day....I will be flying next to eagle...
and finally....people will look the DOVE differently...

I am greed….because I am human.

It has been 1 year 9 months I am with my current company. My office is located in highly luxury area with probability of me bumping into rich person equivalent to 100%everyday.

Things that I never expect to see everyday seem to be part of my daily life. Seeing prospects customer carrying branded bags from Gucci, Prada to LV, driving side by side with Ferrari, BMW and newest version of Mercedes, dining the same café with datin and datuk……..really give me a boost of how to be a young millionaire.

People always say I am a rushing guy. Everything want to be fast. Want to earn fast money. Want to get promoted faster and so on….

But why not?

Can't I have my dream?
Can't I have a goal?
Can't I have a direction?

I am sick to look at how rich is people....and I want to be as rich as them....
I am not a 'pai ka chai' but i just want to earn money and make my life and my family life a little bit better than now....

Am I greed then? Yes, I am....but i am greed for good.....because I am human....and greed is just human nature...

Life is priceless

From small I was educated that life is the most important things. There is nothing that can be more valuable that one life as it was gift from god and no one would take it away except god.

In today environment, life seem to be very cheap. Day by day, we saw people dying in vain. Day by day we saw animal been torture. Day by day, we saw accident taking life unpredictably.

I saw a clip on youtube of how a gal involve in accident, manage to call back the family while waiting for ambulances but she die before the ambulance arrive. The reason being the ambulances come too late.

When i was small, i like to torture animal. I like to scope the fish in the aquarium using the net and see them struggle for water and put them back...Repeat for few times just for the fun of it. When i grow up, I know my action was so cruel, so naive and so childish.

Since then i have change a lot. Start from joining red crescent team and then st john ambulance. When I was in university, i donate blood, do charity work besides from actively criticising animal cruelty. When i start to work and have extra money, i adopt a kid from world vision. I do that because i understand that life is priceless.

I am very sad when i saw people commit suicide. I don't see the rational of them doing that. To me, it bring more trouble to their loves one.

I am very sad looking at animal been tortured. People buy good dog for play and fun. When it was a puppy, the love them because they are cute. When it get older and sick, the owner will just dump it away. I am extremely sad looking at the irresponsible people throwing away dogs especially those happen in Pulau Ketam where they left the dog at inhabited island.

I am sad to look at youngster do not appreciate life by speeding on the road and acting to be macho and end up in accident. I am sad to see heavy smoker ignoring their life. I am sad to see alcoholic risking their organs with poison drink. I am more sad looking at naive people entering into drug addiction.

Life is really priceless. One person only have 1 opportunity to live in the world and thus we need to appreciate it. Some say, because it was a one opportunity, I might as well try everything even drugs. Well, that is individual judgement, but bare in mind, the impact and the future of your life.

Appreciate life before it is too late. Think before you do everything because life is priceless....

Up...Up

Special Announcement,

Petrol Ron 95 and Ron 97 will increase by 5 cent starting today midnight. Ron 97 will subsequent be floating at market price without any subsidy from the government.

This would be the phase one of government 'kind' initiative to avoid country from spending too much on the subsidy and not to tie up the cash flow of the country and avoid country going into crisis...Erm...hope so...

Cooking oil and sugar will also increase starting from tonight 12am...

Enjoy the jam for those who is rushing to petrol kiosk or supermarket...hehe

Is no longer me

It have been a while since my update of my life.

Many things happen within the period...

I come back from Vietnam after a horrible experience. I love Malaysia, that is what I can say...

Have terrible exam, but remain positive while waiting for result...

Run for 4.5km race within 10 hours after arriving from Vietnam....doing good and now register for more race...

Get a good offer but reject it...yeah sound crazy and dump, well that is me, Eddie...

Many things have change....mentality, maturity...and lifestyle....Well, when I declare Change as my motto of the year, it seem hanging for the first half of the year...All because of my exam result, but this round, no matter what happen, I hope I can change for a better future...

Football Flu

Well, most of us have high fever over football this few weeks...

but for some gambler, flu might be the word to replace fever...

Good team such as Brazil, Argentina and Italy have early exit this year...

To make thing even interesting, an octopus now come into the picture....

When all the world is hunting for the octopus to be kill and cook...

but at least, i think the gambler will like the octopus....

I am not the strongest

For many years, people had think that I am a very strong guy...Stong in term of mentally not pyshically...hehe...

Frankly i m not....not always i m strong as it is...No doubt i can make firm decision for many many things but when it come to my life especially those involve my future life, I am very skeptical. I am very careful.

Being making many many wrong decision in the past. I learn that not always I can make the right decision but once i made those decision, there is no turning back.

Maybe June is always a emo month for me. Again there is a moment, i stop by, refresh what I have done lately, considering all opportunity that appear in my life now...Is not easy....Is not easy as what to eat tonight....or what i am going to wear tomorrow..

I always like to refer to my friend when I have big headache for making a decision. I dun want to mess things up..

Frankly there is 3 huge headache that I have now......Non of them i will know the result until end of December....

Why is future so uncertain...Why is future not predictable....

Even a strongest man will one day feel loneliness, sadness, and uncertainty...I don't dare to call myself a strong guy, nor am i weak. I am just a normal guy like those on walking on the street.

It been such a painful journey and I can only cross my finger....and wait for the result....Hopefully it will be favorable....wonderful....and sweet...

Sport Betting ban

Malaysia Government announced that they are not issuing licence for sport betting....

What you think?

Advantage of legalising sport betting:
1. Regulate the gaming industry
2. Reduce the illegal betting
3. Reduce probability of people borrowing from loan shark....(maybe)
4. Increase income to country by charging taxes

Disadvantage of legalizing sport betting :
1. More people will start to gamble as it is legal
2. Tarnish the real purpose of sport spirit...

What ever it is, just remember, take risk according to your risk appetite....

Exam or Not

In my 16 years of studying, I had never agreed that exam is the best avenue to test a student. Probably some would argue with my statement but I always have the impression that exam do not able to test student 100%. We need a more systematic way of evaluating the student performance not just intellectual but also other prespective.

Lets see some of the exam I took before:

Penilaian Tahan Satu (PTS)
Purpose: Let student skip standard 4 and go straight to standard 5
Good impact: I save 1 bloody year and 1 year of school fees amounted to RM 15 (at that time)
Bad impact: I graduate younger, suffer in working life additional one year, been discriminated for graduating so young, need to explain to the whole damm world why I graduate and start work so young

UPSR
Purpose: To evaluate and standard and the entry point of secondary school
Good impact: Get into better school. Better class
Bad Impact: So what if I get full A? I still been posted to bad school anyway!

PMR
Purpose: To decide which stream of studies. Science vs Art
Good impact: better future career decision
Bad impact: So what if I get lot of A? I not allow to choose my stream because the school decided for us!

SPM
Purpose: To decide which stream of studies to major on and eligibility for STPM or college
Good impact: Scholarship to colleges, eligibility to studies major that we like
Bad impact: Still cannot get into local Uni....still, I ended up changing for science class to art stream studies..

So what for exam.....

Exam cannot test student ability to socialize, ability to work, ability to translate knowledge learn to the reality world....

So how? Ban exam?

Government should change our education system to be more relevant.

Exam - To test student knowledge
Assignment - ability of student to work and gather information and translate information into practises
Team activity - to enhance the ability of student to work in team
Sport - To ensure student are more healthy
Charity work - To sow the seed of love from the student and indirectly help to build strong characteristic of student.

I am tired of exam.....maybe ACCA can consider abolish exam also....wakakaka
