Most Emotional Day of my Life 2011

This is a special post dedicated to my late Wai Gong, 外公 whom passed away on June 14th 2011 at 2.30am.

The news came from my father when he told me after I had my shower. I was stunned for few seconds and could not control my tears in the morning before heading to work. and those tears came down whenever i recall my precious times spend with Wai Gong.

When I was very young, my family and I would always come and visit him together with my late Wai Poh in Malacca and spend one to two nights over there. Whenever he saw my family, he always had a smile on his face. because of that, for every moments I met him, I shoked his hands and gave him a side hug.

In every visits, he always make every guest or relatives comfortable by offering drinks like Coke or Black Coffee and snacks. those visits were difficult for me as there was a slight language barrier between him and I. but as the day goes, I spoke to him in Mandarin and glad that we still could communicate although there were some awkward moments. Before my family and i head back to Ipoh, i never miss one single time of hugging Wai Gong to show some love.

Now about my Wai Gong himself. He was a very humble, simple and nice man. At his age 85, he was very fit as he practiced Taichi either himself or with his fellow friends. He was a passionate man just like my mum and loving grandfather to me and parent to my fellow uncles and aunties. He owned a Mango Tree just outside his simple house and whenever he was free, he would climb and pluck the mangoes himself despite his age. for those hard work that he did, he kindly gave those hard work of plucking mangoes to my relatives and families.

When I was in Primary School, I always mentioned this memorable stories in my BM essay and at that time, i realised how loving and dedicated my Wai Gong was. My mother used to tell me that last time he worked as a ice cream seller. That time he only use bicycle to sell ice cream and later on motorbike when got enough money. he never take this as an insult, but rather an encouragement and motivations to my uncles and aunties to study hard and live life to the fullest.

Once my fellow uncles and aunties were having their own family, they offered some money as a token to Wai Gong, but he reluctantly accepts those due to his humble personality. Even if he received them, he used those money as AngPao Money for his children and grandchildren. With this kind of personality, money seriously cannot buy this warm and loving personality of my Wai Gong.


I am so glad and honoured to have a Grandfather like him. With all the pain and suffering that he went through, I am grateful to be part of his family tree. Just like a tree, although the top part of the tree(Wai Gong) is no longer here, the roots(new generations) will live on and continue to carry his torch to build another new tree.


-Rest in Peace, Wai Gong.
I Love You Very Much and hope you will lead a better life and watch us from above-

College Over...Work Time

To my fellow readers,

This is by far...the longest update of my blog...its not that I abandoned this blog...its just that I recently started working. In short, my work life is not as free as college life, where i can joke around, collecting ideas and post them into this old blog website.

Anyways, rest assure peeps, I m still alive and breathing as always..xD

Currently, I m working in a company in Ipoh, named Pamuri Holdings Sdn. Bhd. This company manages brands such as Mobil, DoubleA, 100Yen and TokoTokoya(newly launched...branch of 100Yen)...

At the moment, I will be under Mobil's lubricants division as a Marketing and Administrative Executive .

I just started this job since September 1, 2010. So far, so good. The funny thing is that when I arrived, I had to handle two major events (one is early October and one is end October)

What timing..@_@

The bright side of working is almost the same as college...which is making me more independent...

I m sure you all are wondering...how could this happen as college is not the same as wor
king...

here are the answers:

College - live in an new and alien place
- take public transports which is totally new to me
- eating outside
- washing my own clothes
-walk to college


Working
  • can drive independently(FINALLY) since got my license on 2005..thats 5 years!
  • use my own money to buy/pay for things
  • don't have to trouble asking parents for money, rather i give them money=)

You might think that college life for me makes me more independent than working life due to the number of reasons.

> My explanation is that..college life was my youth and younger time..so can do more things than working.

In summary, working life made me feel old and fat!why?
  • Clothing style-TUCK IN . Damn, this made me feel fat (although most ppl thinks i m not fat) Seriously??
  • Stamina- Working life is even more tiring than college life (despite playing sports at times) due to the working hours spend in the office..With this lack of stamina, it made me feel old..>.<
  • Nightstalker NO MORE- From bed time 1am-3am changes to 11am when started working, the fatigue after working hours will drain most of my energy even if I have less work.
These are NOT my complains of working life. Its just a description of working life. It can be good and bad in a way. But, for me it is more beneficial as I can learn more about life in the outer world other than the inner world(study)

This is a rare post from a person who work and hardly have time to type out my story about working life making me feeling old and fat! (Even people also have time also they wont tell le...so at least i did...hahaha...)

Starting from now, I will change my approach of blogging.

And my tagline is....Short & Sweet(S & S)

I might not have the time to type my blog. But if i have nothing to do, then demdemdemdem....I would...xD

Waka Waka

for those football fans out there, when u see this title, i m sure u will know what is it.........

Rest assure for all of you who do not know...Waka Waka is not about laughing btw...lolz......



its the World Cup 2010 song..yes..World Cup fever.....ssssssssssssss.....to be honest, this World Cup really made many Malaysians, especially KL people go nuts and fever over this event..but as for me...i don feel the feverish..same goes to my best football friend, Ming.

World Cup Fever in South Africa..(source: MKIS)

u want prove?alright..In Subang normally i always hang out at Asia Cafe to watch football matches and at that fever time...the first game of World Cup is South Africa vs Mexico...don get me wrong but i went there to play pool with my friend

to my surprise, the place was freaking pack with people...lol..i mean its not like two big teams playing in the finals..come on...and lucky i made a decision not to watch and instead went to play pool coz the match was freaking boringggg..


so yea..in short my impression towards World Cup is that its quite boring..the playstyles of most of the teams were slow..and can make me fall asleep...EPL is so much better than this due to its fast pace action..GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED...lol

now its World Cup knockout stage...South Korea and US were knocked out in the Round of 16...just hope that starting from this stage onwards, the World Cup would be very interesting to watch...if not..there is no WAKA WAKA factor..lol


(source: Nimbuzz USA)

Who will win the World Cup?there is only one way to find out...come sing with me..WAKA WAKA hey hey!(for more info of this song please refer to google.com..haha)

My debut as a director/actor

If u r asking whether its in a real movie, the answer is No. Aiks too bad..lol..


My assignment 2 for IPD requires me to do the following genre:


  1. Factsheet- something like brochure

  2. Magazine Feature- magazine stuff

  3. Vlog- Video

these genre are based on 1Malaysia concept and its kinda hard at first to do these things as they are kinda new to me...especially Vlog...once I finished the factsheet and magazine feature(took me quite some time), I turned to my Vlog. at first I was thinking to sing in the video..but its a NO NO as I might get tense up and screw the video up...lol


coincidently, at that time was one of my housemate's birthday, and they bought 'Chocolate indulges' cake for him.


so I took it and it was sooooooo dammmmmnnn sweeeet...adding salt to my wound..at that time it was nighttime and with the amount of sugar in me..I could not sleep at all..so throughout the night..I thought about my Vlog assignment and I had a plan in my head...and i cant believe i m saying this but..'Thanks guys for the cake eventhough i could not sleep!'..In the end I slept at around 4am+ LOL


my goal to make this 1Malaysia video is to make it interesting, meaningful and humourous...and my idea fits well for them...


I m sure u all are wondering what video is this and what is it all about..


well, at the moment i finished my video...but i will only post it up in here once i handed up my assignment next Monday so that every work that I do are done well..in other words..i want to keep the momentum going=)


let me summarise about the Vlog...directing and acting in the Vlog was a tiring but memorable and fun process...not only that...making and editing the video was also very fun...


I will assure u all that i will share the fun with u guys by posting the Vlog next week onwards..so be patient ya=)

The Waving Bus Driver RETURNS

Thursday 22nd April 2010

is the time where i went back to ipoh by bus...as u know...from my post,' my journey on the way to subang' all the bus details are all from there..

remember this post that i was talking about a bus driver..( i remember i posted it in this blog somewhere..but after searching for it for a very long time..i cant seem to find it)

so means i have to start...Freeeeeeshhh...

in the last post, there were no images or videos...only words..which is kinda boring and depend a lot on ur imaginations...but now...no worries..i managed to get images and a video footage of it...

what's it?

The 'it' refers to the funny bus driver during my journey back to ipoh..

Story Begins....

as usual..the bus came late...more than half and hour...and i sat down...right behind the bus driver..and straight away i slept..was kinda tired..

once i woked up..i saw a 'blur' image of hands...flying around me...and i was like..'what am i dreaming about now?'and i took a picture of it in a blur mode..

OMG...he only has 4 fingers in a hand?

when i was finally fully awake...i took another image and..


whew thank god..i thought there was an alien hijacking the bus...

i could not believe my eyes but apparently he was waving whenever another bus pass by him...
but not once...but everytime!..

i was like...hohoho...i gonna record this s***..haha..

and so i didnt hesitate to do it as there was no passenger sitting next to me..whew..lucky it was different compared to the previous post.

it took me quite some time to record this because when i was about to record it...he stopped at the rest area..=,=...HUAHUAHUA

ok..breaks over..its Video TIME

Video Time
*good time to sing*

-Video Phone by Beyonce feat. Lady Gaga or even
-Telephone by Lady Gaga feat Beyonce

(aiya its the same la since i m using telephone to take video of it!!LOL)







Note: focus on the passing by buses on the right and watch what he did...

this is just part of the clip, sadly i cant video tape the whole scene as i scared i m being caught red handed and then he send me to police for ' stalking him videoly'..haha..

but believe me..throughout the journey he kept waving and waving..expecting other buses to see his 'Alien' hand..
