A Reflection back to the 1st of January, 2009

This is the best time of reflection although there is still 9 days left...

Personal life
My personal life is a mess...
a. Sometime it is right, do not mix business with personal... I was helping a friend out, who is a friend's girlfriend's boyfriend... however it turned out to be a nightmare because he did not perform, after chances were given not once but twice... everything has a limit... but this leniency almost kill my overall businesses... the worst of all they don't understand my problems due to his slacking... I meant big problem, not some petty stuffs... because of him I lose almost 80% of works out of my order book... that's alot of money... and we almost not able to recover because of it.
b. I did not get back to a girl that I promised to return earlier in the year... I was thinking of doing it... but I did not... deep down of me won't allowed it...
c. I was wooing another girl back in March... but it was a failure...
d. I became an alcoholic... admitting is the first step of solving the problem... so, not to be dragged down further to abyss, I will quit drinking for a year...
e. I have a quarrel with my brother, which we never recovered... up until now...
f. I almost killed myself with a car accident that I have few days ago... it was a terrible accident... I knew because with another turn, I will be gone from the face of the earth... however I did not admit this to anyone...
g. I almost lose interest of running the business because of my father and brother... one thought I am not working hard enough, the other thought I was not work at all... funny.
h.I am not acting like myself in front of the girl... but I have to admit it.. I did not...

Pink Angel

Yesterday, after seeing my client, which I am on my way, I gave the girl some x'mas gift... it is simple gift, a pink teddy bear that comes with a coffee mug. It looks cute and the coffee mug that is pretty useful... Eventually I wanted to have lunch with her, but I am busy with works and I did not sleep the night before due to work. I met her at her working place, she looks very nice in a pink baju kurung (Malay woman dress)... I meant it is stunning... I gave it to her and she said 'wow'... I am glad she is happy because it do makes my day a happy day. None the less, I still owed her a book... Pride and Prejudice...

The best comic book I read lately

Think of this:

A man was in a train... thinking, thinking what will happen the next day... he is looking outside of the train... a local festival ended... he look again into the air... he looks sad because he been conned... the worst of all, it lingered where his girl friend also been cheated through his introduction... he knows what will happen tomorrow... he walk into his house, call his mother, but she is no where to be found... he just remembered his mom was not in that day... he walk to a familiar room, a room of his childhood... where he remembered the adventures that he was imagining when he was young... he can travel back to time, to the future, go to everywhere he wish like out of space and every where...he saw the writing on the door... the writing said the so called 'everywhere door'... from doraemon... he wish on the door, bring me back to two days ago... he knew it won't work...

He saw his mom... he called his mom, 'Mom, I thought you were away...'. Her mom's reply, ' in two more days...' He looks puzzled... His mom nagged at him saying he should come home more... He walked to the train station after bidding good bye... he took the train home, feel lost because he still dragged what will the girl she loved said to him... he feel lost... suddenly he was interrupted by the conductor... the conductor asked for the ticket...he looked at the ticket... it was two days ago... he is like what.... he asked the conductor was puzzled because it was the right date... and there is a phone call, his girlfriend called him regarding investing the friend's scheme... where he asked to abort... and suddenly he saw doraemon was flying away... where he look again, it was a helicopter...

Yesterday Wedding Dinner

Another Single Guy Bites the dust... it is so so so sad because our numbers are few...I never noticed that but it seemed that the number of singles have been diminished greatly...

However, Mr. Senthil's wedding was a blast... I told them I wanted to have a reunion dinner with both Indian and Chinese people, because they always split... I don't know why I am the only one blind in this case, but it is a fair assessment because I seldom see them interact with each other except me who is doing the job here... haha down right funny huh... I did not meet Ming Siang for almost a year now... and he is looking great and good...

I made another conclusion this morning, that I will stop drinking for a year... maybe a glass or two... but officially no more drinking... the accident last week opened my eyes to another perspective... I need to be alive... too many things are hanging on my shoulder... my mom, my dad and people who is working for me...God have spared my life so that I can do a better job this time... it is a pretty bad trauma... nobody knew about it...and I will keep it in here, full stop... nobody knows what was I thinking when I flipped my car... I do...have you seemed the flashback... I did... have you think of the last person you want to see... I did....have you pray to GOD... I did, everything in that split second...this is a piece of blog that I felt a bit too revealing... but I will let it post on this blog... because I felt it is right...

My days are numbered...

I just realized our days as a single guy is numbered, because of numbers have been decimated from 2/3 of our class to 1/3....I really hate this...

Met an Angel

It has been a year, that I did not go out for a blind date... the gal that I suppose to date, was not a success... I really told myself she is the one, but I guess we did not really that match each other... and I let somebody down...

My another bro set me up with another girl... I was acting smart and was checking her profile on facebook according to my friend/bro's call her of her name... I am death wrong.... because when I reached the place... she is a totally different person... lightning strike down at that time... literally.... it is different from last time because this time... it make me pretty nervous.... she has a look of a kind woman, the kind that you will put your life with... her manners and her style was fine.

We met at Nando...fyi... because my bro came late due to shutdown at his factory. She has a dinner first... and I decided that we moved to Alexis due to their performance that night was a tribute to Mile Davis...

She left me a pretty good impression that night and I really like it....

Car accident on 16th Nov, 2009

I was happy because I found the DVDs and also the books that I have been looking for at Old Klang Road... I was so happy...

I was driving on my lane, and I was putting a turn signal from the place that I am going... I look at the rear mirror, I saw a motorcycle in a high speed... I thought he saw the signal, but I never thought he tried to overtake my car from the left, and bang, I saw a flying motorcycle, a grown man and two kids flew on air and hit the ground to about 11 o'clock (direction) from my car...@#@$#$%$%%%&^&*&&*), whatever! I parked my car to the side, and look at the motorcyclist sitting on floor, suddenly I did not feel remorse or sad or anything, I just feel calm and angry (geram)... it is some lantent feeling that I have... it is evil? I don't know.

However, I called the ambulance to pick the people up, because I feel unsafe leaving the people properties laying here on the floor... ambulance came at 11pm and went to make a trip to the police station to make a report.

13th the Friday

I never loved Friday the 13th,I am not superstitious, but the days always reminded me of something bad... this Friday the 13th, I been robbed. Yes, first time in my life, I was robbed.

I lost my gold chain worth 5k which already been with me for almost 20 years... my cards and my smart tag to the thief...

It is not scary and I was firm and just gave the bloody thief what he wants because it is just thing!

Hmmm... what to write

Two blogs a month is something that it tough... not that easy to write...

I am looking at cashflow and it is not an easy thing to look at...

I begin to turn business around, not an easy task, but will able to maintain it.

Short sentece, but a powerful kick to my face!

"... No one fall in love by choice, it is by chance. No one stays in love by chance, it is by work. No one fall out of love by chance, it is by choice ... "

It is something that I can work on... it is chance and not choice and it not by chance but by works...

One the first sentence, it is something that I can see.... because by chance I am able to meet someone, but by choice I am still far behind... however I know I can't find someone by choice because people always take the better choice.

I am lazy of working... and I thought I can let it go by choice... so in your face...

Watermelon

I was cutting some watermelon that day, and it brought back some memories... thanks.

I thought of giving it out to my mom, but it ends up to be in my belly, wohoooo....

I am a big bad bear!

Tired and tiring!

It is raining and raining... I am not tired of the rain, but I am tired of my life and also with the people around me...I am thinking why I am that negative??? This is because if negativity brings more negativity... I should be more positive thinking....

Not to linger with the past that long...

Tiring is because my cough status, it is still bad... and this morning I almost cough to the death... it is bad and right now I may have some spinning headache.

Some coughing

I have a bad cough in these few days which almost killed me, literally... no no it is not swine flu or anything, I think I caught it from a buddy who was coughing last week... yes yes it is bad.

20th of July, 2009

Attend another wedding yesterday, and people always asked the same question, when will it be your turn? Hahahah, not now .... too busy with works.


I am randomly putting some of my minds and some frustrations down.... but will it be good? I am thinking I am getting something off my head....


It is raining is heavy and the lightning and thunder is keep striking around my living area... hmmm... I eventually loving it, I meant the rain... it is always good for the rain.

Scrubs Season 8

I finished the whole season... it is sad because Scrubs Season 8 was the finale of the whole sitcom... I hated all the finale.... why the finale.

People said the show is losing the steam... but I really hated it!

It is said there will be Scrubs Season 9. But there will be too many changes, J.D. will be on only 6 episodes.... frick it!

Transformer 2, Knowing, Angels and Demons, Terminator 2, Family Guys Season 7 and Scrubs Season 8

Transformer 2

This is one of the best sci-fi I ever watch for the year 2009... it is the best
The computer graphic design robots is nice and they all look so alive, which is bloody good. The plots is good although it is out of what we have watch when we are kids but it is pretty good.

Knowing

Another alternative of the 'end of the world' depicted according to the bible... but I felt it is lack of something, which I can't explained it

Angels and Demons

This is the most boring movie because maybe we put too much expectations into it...

Terminator 4

It is the continuation of the saga, but Christian Bale did a good job in this movie...

Haven't finish watching it yet, but J.D., you are killing me literally!

Betrayal

Well, it is business matter. Don't have a business with friends...

It started a few months ago, my friend ask me to give him some projects so he can start up a good business, I gave him some business. I wine and dine with them, because the job has pretty good prospect, however, they are slacker, and because of that the company who offered me the job refused to give me anymore job. I warned them twice. They said they will repent... and they dare to messed up with the renovation job for the boss room... I meant the boss room. And because of that, I lost an important customer, three big projects which costs millions... and because of their slacking job, I have to argue with the big company few times.

Now, they still have face to ask for payment. Which I obliged but due to their slacker's works, I have to pay out of my money first slowly...

But, at the end they said that I don't give them jobs, a call and etc. Tell me what will you do if you are in my shoe.

And they put that I am the bad guy in the FB... I think I will be out of that circle... it is a circus. Have to apologize to someone for that...

Half Past July

These two months are so terrible that it is hard for me to swallow (business vice)...

It has been almost 20 days since I wrote my blog... because I am so busy chasing for businesses and people don't know why I am doing it... frankly speaking I barely celebrate my birthday due to that...because I have calculated my recent business volume, it dropped almost 60% compared to last year... a scary figure... because of the hope that I can get a better jobs with SD did not came out in a good way. I know the reasons, and I will not blame anyone for it... However, due to this week of chasing for businesses, it may be fruitful.

Secondly, I heard from my good friend that the reason I was not accepted by the girl that I am wooing is I am not 'sincere' enough... the meaning of sincere enough? However he said that the chance is still there... I don't know it is a good thing or a bad thing, however I know my best friend is my bottle of whiskey...


I lose a bit of weight, but I am still far from my weight target which is 38" waist size... I lose 1 1/2" from 41"... still far from target...

Recently, I think because of the stresses upon me, I am sleeping early. But I still feel very tired the next morning. I am drinking less of coffees and having less of panadols, but I think it is still not enough.


Found my long lost friend... he has been missing from 1995 until I found him again on Facebook... damn it is a hard find... still looking for a few...

Death Of MJ

I heard the news from radio clock in the morning... their said they is a speculation that the KING OF POP has left us... My head said 'No way'... and I rushed back to the office to check the news... and it said it is confirmed that the KING OF POP has passed away...

Few songs played on my mind... Billie Jean, Beat it, Smooth Criminal, Black/White, You are not alone, and many more...

Thanks MJ for bringing us the good music... and I know you are moonwalking in heaven now...RIP

My Grandma's final Voyage

The first thing I remembered my Grandma was back I was a young kid... she was always kind and firm... she was always helping me getting out of the troubles... she is grandma... she is a good grandma.... she is always a good grandma for me and she is always there...

But on Friday morning, when I look at a lifeless body... I can't helped to have a bad feeling in my stomach...but I can't throw it out, I have to act strong... in fact I did not cry during the whole funeral because of my own belief... she do not want to see us that way...I am not cold blooded... but it is something that I remember her by...

Today is her cremation day... and we have to attend her after ceremony in these few days...

Business up to date...

I have look at the financial paper for the company and it looks a bit dull to me because business has been a bit too slow... However, if we look at the current trend of the market, it should be up beat... but it did not pick up at all.

I am thinking of some solutions to solve this problem because we do have bills to pay and people to feed.... scary when all the burdens come to you.

Sleepless night....

I was so happy that my brother came down to play videogame with me around 9pm... initially he lose badly, and I let him win a few rounds... he left while laughing that he beats me... I was thinking about it, should I let him win in a first place? Did my 'kiasu' (afraid to lose) attitude bugs me...

I was doing some thinking and I just slept at 11pm, however I woke up around 2am and watch Cheng He until 4:30am and go to wash some of the dishes that I been soaking from yesterday's night dinner...

However, I have been sleepless for few nights...

Finish reading Purpose of Driven Life

It is a good book explaining the existence of us, our purpose and how do we work with it...

I remember I have the CD, but I still can't find it....

Anywhere it is good I finally able to finish reading the book after buying it for less than 2 months... while waiting for my workers to finish their works.

A boring Sunday

It started to be a boring Sunday because I thought I can sleep in after having some binge drinking at my brother's boring party... people ain't bbqing thing which is bad because if you want to have a bbq, either you bbq everything or asked people to join in. There is no half and half... literally it sucks... and I AM NOT ALLOWED TO CRITICIZE...

So, woke up picked mom up and send her to the wet market... bought some big bean sprouts for dinner and few nights of late night dinner... went home and slept a few hours after having a non satisfactory lunch with my mom...

Watch some South Parks and went online for few hours...

Later run on the threadmills and have some dinner and thinking of tucking in early...

This is boring!

Funny Comic Strip

This is the same situation I am having right now, coincident?

The end of May

In few more days, it will be the end of May.

I been politely pushed down for a while because someone say I barely knows you... I thought did pretty good in these few weeks but it seemed I did not... should I give up or not...

Life is a bump if I did not know where it is going...

Delucca

When I stepped in to this restaurant called Delucca, I thought it is some place not that good.... I ordered a cold drink, Mojito to start with, I see the guy pound the mint and other ingredient which I don't see other people doing it... it was so nice...I see a guy who has a passion to make a good drink making my cocktail and from there, I know I am the right place....

I ordered a cup of espresso that has Illy coffee bean, and it was make with a mean espresso machine... I wish I have that machine at home because the smell and the aroma, plus the hissing of the steam coming out from the machine reminds me the good old coffee machine that I have at home...

Later, at 6pm, I ordered a Carbonara de mare which meant where de mare is the sea... I am skeptic because I never have a good Carbonara since I am back to Malaysia... the last best Carbonara I have was back in Alabama... and since it is an Italian restaurant and the chef is an Italian... I will tried once.... and the results is fantastic... the spaghetti is aldante and the sauce is not too much and everything is good and excellent.

I will be there next time for pasta...

The end of April

The end of the month of April, 2009. It is such a month that I will not like it repeats itself again because it is so twisted that I almost wanted to throw myself to the sea.

I am focusing on the business and not my personal life.

I almost secure a job which is worth millions of dollar, but due to some misdirection given by the owner, we are almost fooled to pick up a job which is actually authentic, but under fund. This always happened in the business world. I almost wanted to punch someone when the owner at the end of the days announced he will pick up the job by himself... and I wish him all the best and good riddance.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personal life, my brother is getting married in less than 11 days. I wish him all the best and I can see him striving for the best because planning a wedding is not that easy...

I am looking forward for next week because I hope I will be at the place: NO BLACK TIE to attend one of the French Art Event: From the Beltuner... something interesting and fun.

I am looking at my PS2. It broke down... I am looking at it and I am like: please resurrect and come back to me.

Strange dream: I have the most strange dream of all, I was in a haunted house and the 'guest' was keep disturbing me and I really can't avoid all the scream and stuff... but suddenly a 'cross' rise from the fallen state to stand in front of me... I search for the meaning of the cross in the dream: IT MEANS SOMETHING GOOD IS COMING MY WAY AND I REALLY HOPE IT DOES.

David Garrett just came up with another album: Encore. It is something unexpected. It was a mix of classical and a bit of electronics...

I started listening to Classical Music again, Beethoven, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Bach, Gershwin and more... I am so lazy lately, I did not listen to them for such a long time and I really almost kill myself for this.

South Park... it is a mixture of laughter and hate because it is so damn funny that you can't stop laughing at it and you really can't blame them for all the vulgarity.... but it is a must.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Providore.. a restaurant in Solaris... overrated and too expensive.The simple pork chop is costing me RM 48, which I can make a better pork chop myself. You just needed to marinate to make the meat a bit tender and nice. It was just too plain.. compared to Kristao at the Asia Heritage Row opposite Sheraton Hotel.

Bisou is another place that is overrated restaurant, they don't really know how to cook a carbonara...it is too wet... carbonara is something dry but with cheese sauce on it.... oh really. The so call PIE... my foot...hahaha, Damien make a better pie than them... I presume.

Answer to my own question

I was watching South Park yesterday and something funny came up:

Love is based on feeling and not logic, if it is based on logic, it will be dull.

Did it answered my question: YES!

The Friday's affair

It should be a SD new building architecture presentation done by my good friend Hanc. Later, we went to a drinking session with all my business colleagues until 9pm.

Then, AM showed up at the other restaurant when I was having dinner with my friend. We have some nice dinner and a splendid bottle of wine (not my preference because I don't like white wine). Because the place is shutting down, we went to RAW for some more drinks and believe it or not this old bear do some dancing on the dancing floor. And I should quit it because I am sure old. I also requested some special drink where the bar tender was kind enough to give the old bear to teach them to make some special icy cold drink. Vodka, red wine, stawberry and black berries to the cocktail. We drank and dance some more.

At around 1am, we walked out of the bar, AM fell down due to the steps and sprained her leg. I walk her to the entrance and eventually carried her across the street. Then later we hold hands... the night ended where I have debate with her either that she can drive home or not, fortunately her friend drove her home. Me? I ended sleeping at the highway resting place from 1:30 to 6am and go back to work as usual.

I know what will you guys or gals ask? Where is this going?

I ended my last relationship just few months ago, and I may start another one... is this something right? Right or wrong? This makes me looks like a 'pig'? I don't know, because if I followed my heart... it is right... if I followed my thinking... I am wrong.... which should I followed? I don't know, I am just bursting something on my mind right now...

Lumut Trip

It was a planned business trip where I was with two business partners went to Lumut on last Wednesday.

It was a three hours drive from PJ and I found the trip refreshing and nice.

We passed a few historical buildings such as Kellie castle and etc.

We went to the Royal Navy base because of some business opportunities and we are able to see how our Malaysia 'NAVY SEAL' at work.


Then after visiting the site, we drove around the area looking for a hotel because we did not want to take a ferry to Pangkor Island, however we able to book the most expensive hotel in Lumut.

When I reached my hotel room, I found out that I dropped my ID card. I was thinking where would I drop it. I went back to the crime scene, and the ID card was there. I was lucky.

After that, I went back to the hotel and drove around to look for food. We went to Sitiawan. And after three to four u turns we were guided to go to Kampung Cina which is ironically the restaurant there don't serve pork.... however the foods were fresh and damn cheap... 4 seafood dishes: Crab, Fish, Lala(mussels) and Oyster Omelet. And one vegetable dish only cost me RM 89. Not too bad. Then after the feast, we went to have some food massage... bad idea because it was pretty bad.

The next morning, with the complimentary breakfast buffet facing the beautiful seaside, we are enjoying some short break (about 2 hours to be exact). Then we went back to our room and went to the site for the ground breaking ceremony.

It was a boring ceremony with a lot of blah blah blah... however we were able to shake hands with Perak MB, Dr Zambry. He is a nice guy.

Then, we drove to Tapah for food, unfortunately the place were closed and we drove further down to Bidor, bought some of the local delicacies. I have some siew pau and I dare to say this their siew pau is better than seremban siew pau.

Finally we drove back to PJ around 5pm.

Tenji

I make an official visit to my friend's restaurant on Wednesday and Friday this week... it is a good place to have varieties of foods (few hundreds of foods to choose from) and the atmosphere there is also good.

What is kindness

"Kindness is like a breath. It can be squeezed out, or drawn in."

What is on your mind when you read this sentence? It is something that we always have on mind... or dare I asked how many acts of kindness that you have done lately...

It is something that we dare to imagine of a society when kindness is never been practiced towards all living beings and all non living beings?

Think of this sentence and reminds yourself of an act of kindness that you have done, that you will never forget... is there any such activities?

March's happening

Well, in March there were many things happened... but all of them are good...

Business is up and potential projects are materializing...

Quarrel with brother which still unsolvable...

Did a cooking party... and the people enjoyed the food very much.

Met some good friends for yum cha and yum beer...

So, life is good.

Late Entry Since February, 2009

My brother got engaged yesterday, and it will be a day easy to remember because it is 13/03/2009 aka Friday the 13th... frankly speaking I hated Friday the 13th, well I bet there are some influences by the media or so, but it was mostly due to all the unlucky things that happened where I cannot avoid. It is either frustrating or what so ever...

However, my brother engaged to his long time girl friend,Jean for 10 years since college time. I have to congratulate him for being one of the longest faithful pairs that I knew of... which is kind of rare nowaday. However, I did not attend because of works on hand and due to some things that did not goes the way that I wanted. Yup, he is going to kill me for that, but I will make it up some how.

Two weddings on the 28th of February... it is one of the most memorable day in my life because it is both scary and intoxicating... both of my ex classmates got married on the same day but in a different restaurant... I have to attend both of them because I am obligated to do that... the first dinner... well everyone are scare to get drunk... however there is some really good company there... 2nd dinner (two hours later) is full of booze (95% my booze), because the host provided 'warm' wine, it is not his fault, but the incompetent waiter's fault...I brought my perfectly chilled wines (one is opened earlier for my own sipping and the second bottle is a private reserve wine, it is a rare bottle ) and a bottle of Old Par (private collection, and it is a favorite drink that night because of its nice fragrance and also the taste). I am happy for both of them... but I ended up with a bad hangover and a car stuck in the mud the next day, plus an encounter with 'datuk' (some people pointed it out)... so it is something to remind me for a long time.

To be angry or not with a buddy when they cannot performed well and cost you a loss where you can buy a brand new car with the money loss... I found peace with myself which I told myself... it was still not your money and you have yourself to blame because frankly speaking you have been slacking lately...and you don't really want to lose a buddy over that matter...

St Patrick's day was a blast, because I tried riding on a mechanical bull, have a few rounds of stout (only 2 glasses) and some pies... some friends tried to get me connected with a gal...she is a nice character and she is everything I wanted in a gal, but I know that it is not time yet, because of the bad economy... no kidding. She is nice, intelligent, very active and etc., she can really drinks... independent and more.... but I really don't know... my heart wants, but my head said cannot...logic versus emotion...not a pleasant scene...

In conclusion, it is a fair month.

First entry during CNY

I believe this CNY is a bit quiet compared to the previous years, I did not know why, but it is just too quiet for me.

I celebrated 1/2 of my CNY in Beijing which is more happening compared to Malaysia...

I will be posting some photos later

The last words before CNY

I think I will write my next blog in Beijing...

I think everyone knew Beijing after the Olympic game that it hosted in 2008... actually I will like to know Beijing a bit more because it is the capital city of China... the city of many wonders...

Well, I hope my 7 days visit will make me happy for a while because 2008 was a terrible year for me... Roast more Peking Duck

Who Am I?

Recently, I been labeled as a perfectionist...which I scratched my head... am I a perfectionist... I am not, because I am a slacker (a term that been used at IMS). I have to admit that I am pretty particular about my food, and my works...


I know I have been slacking off a bit from my perfectionist day... because I learned that being a perfectionist really hurt me deeply inside... which I knew I did when it came to relationship... OMG... I think I just answered my own problem... I keep picking on other people's bones that caused my own loneliness... am I lonely, YES I DO... but luckily I am able to make my friends to unclog other people's toilet(on facebook only) which can make me relief a bit.

When a friend asked me, how many friends you really have... I think I only have one or two... I mean true friend.

Damn, now I have to do more soul searching... deep meditation...

Obama the President

He will have the toughest job in the world... compared to Mr. Bush have earlier... many people called Mr. Bush's session a failure... but to give a fair and square look into, he did failed many people or maybe it is the people who supported his policies cost his administration a failure... but he also did some good...

However, today Obama will be the first American Black President... we will have to judge him after his term end... but up to now, it is we called 'so far so good.'

The Stomach Flu that won't die down

I have this little problem with my stomach that make me can't sleep and been running to the washroom for two straight days...

No it was not due to the food that I have on Saturday, but it was due to a big tall glass of juices... which YL can't believe I say it out because she believes it is due to the super buffet that I have on Saturday...

It is just a back and forth debating which at the end I will lose to her more superior debate skills... but in my poor stomach I know I have to blame the juice... it is always the juice... Because if I blamed on the buffet, I won't able to go to the place again... it is just some denial phase...

Up to date, and counting the flu has been with me for more than 48 hours... I remembered I only have this pain back in 1997, only once and I took care of it with some medicine that I bought from 7-11... man I am old...

Two more days to go to Beijing

Well, I am taking a trip to Beijing this year for Chinese New Year and it will be a cold cold cold Beijing... but it is the right place for me since I am the polar bear... but I am just waiting for my Beijing Duck, yum yum yum...

Hope everything will be fine.

The Drunken Grizzly Bear in Denial

I am just a poor bear that been 'framed' to be the drunken grizzly bear in denial... according to what I know is there are only few incidents that I was totally knock out and it involved happy things...

However my friend YL and her evil friend been labeling me on the facebook due to a night out on the New Year... Please forgive this poor bear...

Ip Man

I don't know who came up with the name but it suppose to be Yip Man and not Ip Man because some of the translation will be lost....


It is a good movie and with Donnie Yuen in that movie, it is superb.

The quick actions and also the theory of Wing Chun is captured perfectly by Donnie. Well done!

The Gathering plus some bits

Not to sound like a geek or a nerd, but a gathering with friends, old and new is a thing that must be organized regulary because without a little bit of humanity, what is US?

Recently, some new found friends also some old friends have met been meeting regularly and it is something I felt to make me a bit stress off...


Although some questions such as:

Are you okay? Are you doing alright.... actually for the last few months, I am not doing okay because works have been slow and my relationship, I just broke it up because it is just too much to bear all the burdens by myself, it is just like a juggler juggling 100 balls in the air... it is not fun... trust me.


I know breaking up with her will be something that will bites me later in life... for letting such a good person to be off my life, but sometime you just have to do whatever you can because she is the kind that depends on me too much... I am sorry to say that but that's the fact of life...

First day of the year....

Today is the first day of the year, and it is already 3pm.... I wished everyone a Happy New Year and I am looking forward to work tomorrow because there are many things to look forward to...

Hopefully all the new year resolutions will work out this year

P.S. I also wished everyone to have a Happy New Year plus all their new year wishes to come through...

P.P.S. And a Happy Birthday to my Brother...
