A Morning Without Transportation (没有交通工具的早上)

"Sorry that I'm not able to fetch you tomorrow morning." Hai Yuan told me before we were about heading back from the office building on Thursday late evening. He fetched me to work and send me back to Petaling Jaya for almost a week. Oh... did I mention about my car? My car was sent to workshop, due to some serious complication. While adjusting my helmet, I answered him that I'll be fine and asked him not to worry about me.

After dinner, I tried to seek help from Xenusfreeman. "...I'll sent my sister to Light Railway Transit (LRT) station earlier before I come to fetch you..." His younger sister, Venussakura told me that would be ok for her. In my heart, that would made both of them ruined their daily schedule! "Oh, if that is the case, I will catch a taxi (to save your troublesome). Thanks!"

I was lying back on my chair. I remembered that less taxi would be available in the early morning. "Just try to get a taxi from the main road", flashed in my head. Too tired to think more. I just simply slept on my bed.

On that Friday morning, I walked towards the taxi stand, which is situated just opposite of the Eastin Hotel. Most of the taxi just sped off straight towards Kuala Lumpur and none of them wanted to deal with me. Waited about 15 minutes, I lost my patient, desperately. I made a decision that will make everybody think that I'm crazy or foolish - "marched" towards Plaza Mont Kiara!

Before that, I was unable to observe anything during driving. Perhaps I put too much concentration on the wheel. Considered having a morning walk session, I enjoyed the beauty of greenery landscape along the highway, unexpectedly. The weather was cooling and I was able to feel the fresh breeze too. The 1½ hours journey was just purely breathtaking!

No hassle traffic in the morning. (About 6:30am...)

Reached the office... Yes, i made it!

(到达办公室)

Sometime, we are too busy on work. Too much pressure, too many datelines and too many weird problems need to be solved. We are sacrificing ourselves on what we should deserve for. Take a break, enjoy and relax for a while. You may see something simple that you never notice before.

Somewhere out there, you may see all the colors of the wind.

P/S: Sincerely thanks a billion to Hai Yuan, Xenusfreeman and Venussakura. Thanks for helping me all this while.

嗨，各位！好久不见。Well, I just came back from one-week compulsory “Raya” holiday.

你们怎么渡过那短短的马来人开斋节假期？这一次，我已回到我的家乡－关丹。已不记得多少久我没回乡了。 除了吃喝玩乐之外(没有啦，太夸张了吧！)，我有机会到林明去参观。那天的天气还很不错。我们还有机会去爬林明山看日出以及飘浮浮的云海。

像地球形状吗？

看了这一次的日出，希望往后有全新的开始吧
那你们呢？

祝你们有一个美好的开始。
记得哦，天使总在你身旁!

My computer backs to ALIVE again!!!

My computer was attacked by one complicated spy ware, which was not able to remove by any anti-spy ware or the removal. I decided to format the C Drive. While I installed the Windows, I realized that I had installed into wrong Drive. As the result, my PC had TWO operating systems at the same time. Both of the operating systems were start conflicting each other when I tried to save all my valuable files. Oh my God, really, i felt helpless by looking at my PC...

What's more I could do?

Spent almost 2 full nights, just to format, install FRESH operating system, drivers, programs, download and update files... you know, all the bothersome procedures.

And FINALLY, here I am, and say 'hello' to the World Wide Web.

Long time no see...

It has been a long time for not updating my blog.

It was a long hot Saturday. After spending almost half day at Plaza Low-Yat, the Sungai Wang, and then back to the Plaza Low-Yat again, I finally bought some gadgets, on behalf of my father and youngest brother. To treat myself on my "effort" (ha ha ha...), I attended an 8TV event, 八度空间嘉年华, which was held at The Boulevard Berjaya Times Square. A lot of frenzy fans and supporters actively took part in activities, as a lot of prizes were offered to grab!

Photos below were captured by using Samsung SGH-E900.

Now I'm enjoying a Japanese Drama called Karei-naru Ichizoku (Some they called The Perfect Family or 華麗なる一族), a very sad and heartbreaking series. For those who have not watch that, it is worth to watch it.

Extracted and cited from Drama wiki at http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Karei-naru_Ichizoku, the drama is based on a novel by Yamazaki Toyoko. Later in 1974, they produced a movie. The book depicts the conflicts within the Manpyo family, which is famous in Kansai's financial circles, amidst the tumultuous reorganisation of the financial industry of the late 1960s. Unlike the book, the eldest son, Teppei, and not the father, Daisuke, will be the central character of the drama.

This drama is set in the late 1960s decade of Japan. The main rivalry depicted in the story is between Manpyo Daisuke (Kitaoji Kinya), a powerful banker, and his eldest son, Manpyo Teppei (Kimura Takuya), the executive managing director of a steel firm. For some reasons, Daisuke seem to dislike his own son and as Teppei seems to find out the reason for Daisuke's hatred, his whole life is turned upside down with fatal consequences.

Enjoy and have a good day!

Hai Yuan's Article: 老爸给的答案

Extracted and cited from my ex-secondary schoolmates, Hai Yuan's Blog at http://lokehaiyuan.blogs.friendster.com/haiyuan/2007/08/post.html, which was posted on 8th August, 2007.

Just want to share it to you guys out there...

"... 我昨天在MSN放了这样的问题：有谁能够告诉我，生命有什么意义。结果今天早上看到老爸的电邮，内容是这样的：

My dear Hai Yuan,

I refer to your open question in Windows Live Messenger.

There is no final answer to the old question of the meaning of life since the ancient days, not by the many scholars in religions or philosophy or whatever, despite many thoughts or meditation or discussions or even arguments or fighting to get it!

But, I would like to share with you my simple answer to it.

There are three vital points regarding to the meaning of life:
(1) Life is very precious; if you study the astrology, earth science and life science you will know that the chance of you or me coming alive into this world is practically almost zero! In a nutshell, we are very very lucky to be living here on earth indeed, so we should appreciate it and try to make fully out of it while we are still alive!
(2) Life is very difficult; from the human history, psychology, art and social science, we have to go through so many difficult things like emotions such as greed and fear, human inequality and social injustice, sufferings in famine, poverty, disease, war and killing and natural calamity etc........In a nutshell, we have to fight for survival and have to work very hard and smart to overcome all the difficulties and get all the freedoms (financial or spacial or social) we want!
(3) Life is to live and let live; thanks to our ancestors efforts in the past, we are all here today......try to be healthy, to be rich, to be happy etc.... and to help others also to be healthy, rich and happy etc within our means.....to help create a better world and environment for our future generations......In a nut shell, there are many things to keep us busy within our limited lifetime! ....We should not spend too much time in thinking such as day dreaming and meditation as life is too short and precious to waste.....and we should spend more time in doing the practical things to improve our world and life!

Let us be one of those tiny stars in the milky way; let us be a drop of water in the vast ocean; let us be a sand particle on our good earth; let us be a part of human history, however small it will be!..... although some of us may try to be the brightest star, the cleanest water droplet and the biggest sand particle!....I think that this is the meaning of life!

Your ever loving,
Daddy

I am totally agreed with your father's opinion. And I may add one point. Life is like a roller coaster. Sometime we have to face the reality when there is an up-and-down time. Always be wise, patient, honest and open-minded to yourself. You will enjoy and appreciate the roller coaster ride too.

Status, Money and Power?

很久没整理这部落格了。工作及休息已占领了我所有的时间。好不容易到星期六和日的时候才享用音乐和戏剧。

一段戏剧“流星花园”第十章引起我的注目



[西方曾经有位哲人说
女人啊
华丽的金钻，闪亮的珠光
为你赢得了女皇虚妄的想象
岂知你的周遭
只剩下势利的毒
傲慢的香
撩人也杀人的芬芳
女人啊
当你再度向财富致敬
向名利欢呼
向权利高举臂膀
请不必询问那只
曾经歌咏的画眉
它已经不知飞向何方
因为它的嗓音已经乾枯喑哑
为了真实,尊荣
和洁净灵魂的灭亡。

一个人的灵魂高贵还是低贱
难道只看他会不会弹一段钢琴
或者是看他生在那门那户
身上戴那些品牌吗？
会弹钢琴有什么了不起
我告诉你们
我就只会弹这么一首
那又怎么样]


我曾遇见有好几位像那“道名枫”人物的连续剧里。每当我去参加朋友聚会或是新年派对，那些“好奇心”又不太认识的家伙几乎开始叮上全场身上的品牌。过后就一个个开始面试，从家庭财产到事业职位。甚至有些还问到薪水呢!

我之前从来没想到在这个世界，都有这样的人物。也许是他们的好奇心吧。但过了大学及在工作，久而久之，似乎已对这些态度都麻木了。正在看着这部第十章里连续剧的我，心总是向那“杉菜”人物的戏剧里大喊叫好！
