什么人都有

2009-09-04T15:14:00.002+08:00

个案一：

要去警局还罚单

直接去了警察总部

才发现交通警察部不在那

也忘了在哪

问了大门口的警员

他指了指对面，问道

“为什么你会到这里来”

我说我不知道在哪

“你不会问吗”

我这不是在问吗？

难道我不可以问警察，只可以问亲友？

难道我向警察问路不对吗？

莫名其妙

个案二：

从菜市场要回家

路旁都停满车子，剩一条通道

看见对面来了四辆车子

我只好往旁靠，让他们先通过

谁知，第一辆车子直接停在那

阻挡了唯一通道

白目的司机还直接下车去买东西

我和对面的车子下意识的鸣笛

司机看过来，但还表现出不管他事的模样

我忍不住，开窗告诉他

他这样停车，阻挡了所有车

所有车都不能移动了

他竟然不知廉耻为何物

呛说前面的车子也是这样停

大佬啊，问题是人家虽然也不对，但不至于完全阻碍交通

真是佛都有火，怒火中烧啊

再次大声告诉他，他这样停车阻挡了所有车

这时，不知是他发现自己真的阻碍交通

还是发现他太太试着移开车子

他才甘愿回到车上，把车子移开

唉，真是什么人都有。。。

Departures 《送行者：礼仪师的乐章》

2009-07-16T19:27:00.004+08:00

Last weekend, me and Lina planned to watch “Drag me to hell” but we missed the noon show and next available is at night. Turning to Ice Age 3 3D version, it was fast selling and left only night show. We don’t want to watch normal version that time, so asked Lina’s colleague who loves to watch movies for suggestions. He told us “Obsessed” and “Public Enemy” is not so good and recommends us to watch “Departures”.

Trusting him as a “professional movie lover”, I don’t even know what the movie is about when I bought the tickets. Before we enter the movie hall, we saw the movie poster, and then only I knew that it is the Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Language Film. I only knew the Chinese name of the film before that. And indeed, it was a pleasant time watching this GREAT movie.

Synopsis: When cellist Daigo Kobayashi finds himself unemployed, he returns with his wife to his hometown and answers an ad he believes has been placed by a travel agency. He started working as a "Nokanshi" (Encoffiner) that prepares corpses for cremation--an elaborate ritual for which the stunned Daigo proves to have a surprising aptitude. He loves and takes great pride in this job even though his wife and friends hate it. He looks at this job as being a gatekeeper between those that have died and their families and through his job he discovers the wonder and joy of being alive.

小林大悟（本木雅弘）原是乐团的大提琴手，因乐团解散而失业，失望之下将昂贵的专业大提琴变卖，放弃演奏家之路，与妻子美香（广末凉子）一起回到家乡三形县生活。

某天大悟在报章看到【旅途协助工作】的征聘广告而跃跃欲试，以为自己应征的是旅游业，却发现原来是帮往生者送行的行业。在误打误撞下立刻被录用成为一名入殓师（也称为礼仪师或纳棺师），并在社长（山崎努）强迫利诱、软硬兼施下，也许就如老社长说的缘份，开始了这份工作。

一开始，大悟十分排斥，也非常恐惧，但与老社长一起参与了一场又一场的纳棺仪式后，渐渐了解身为入殓师为往生者洗身、装扮走上来生旅途”的重要意义。

大悟一直隐瞒妻子和朋友，因为世俗眼光还是瞧不起这行职业；直到他们知道真相后，妻子和朋友都弃他而去。尽管受到亲友的不谅解和周遭的鄙夷，大悟还是坚持投入这份工作。

直到大悟老朋友的母亲（澡堂的女老板）突然去世了，他亲自进行了纳棺仪式，老朋友和妻子有机会见证入殓师的工作过程，终于了解并认同了入殓师神圣的工作。

电影讲的是一个严肃仪式的执行者，但一点都不闷。点到即止的幽默、没有刻意的煽情，却自然带出温馨与感动。电影的配乐、画面都很优美，为电影加分不少。

我特别对某些情节有很深的感触：

看到电影中孙女们为奶奶穿袜子-直接把我带回外婆往生的那一刻，我和亲人也在为外婆穿上袜子和鞋子。冰冷的躯体让我们都心碎了。妈妈和阿姨则为外婆穿上衣服和化妆。电影中也说明了，原本入殓仪式也是由亲人亲自完成的，但后来渐渐被遗忘，才发展了专业入殓师这个行业。
美香一开始不能接受大悟的职业，甚至不能接受大悟“肮脏”的手触碰自己，还一度以腹内孩子威胁大悟放弃。直到她亲眼看见大悟为澡堂老板入殓，终于接受并认同大悟入殓师的身份。当不负责任的入殓师粗鲁对待大悟父亲的遗体，大悟出手阻扰的时候，美香大声地告诉他们“我的丈夫是专业入殓师”。我看到的是，美香终于佩服自己的丈夫对入殓工作的认真和专业，并以其为傲。
那位在殡葬社工作，负责进行火化程序的老人（澡堂老板的好友）说了别具意义的话：死亡不是结束，而是另一道门，通向另一个世界的门，而我是守门员。每一天都送走无数的人，然后跟他们说来生再见。【死亡不是结束，而是一道门】

上网搜寻，发现了几点有趣的事实：

原来这是真人真事，作者本来是诗人和作家，不是大提琴手；由于赚不够奶粉钱而从事纳尸棺的工作。电影是从作者在当纳尸棺期间的日记本改编的。基本上，很多情节都搬过来电影里头了。
其实当初找原作者出让版权拍摄电影的，而是这部电影的男主角本木雅弘，一位多年以前旅游印度的日本明星，后来对生命和生死有很大的启示和觉悟；当他阅读了这本日记过后，就老远的拜访作者，希望给预计会拍摄成电影。开始的时候原作者拒绝了这个要求，直到被本木雅弘无数次的拜访后才软下心来答应的。所以，我们才看得到这部感人的电影。
本木雅弘为了揣摩角色，亲身到殡葬社实习了一个多月的入殓技术，也为了扮演好大提琴手而苦练从未接触过的大提琴，拍摄期间也需在每天晚上练两个小时的大提琴。

《送行者》深度刻画了日本殡葬业的经营状况和入殓师的工作。入殓师的职责是在家属前进行纳棺仪式，替往生者的身体清理干净、换装、化上漂亮的妆，让往生者最后能以最美丽的状态，带著亲属的祝福。看到逝去的亲人最后的美丽面容，亲人都会感动不已；在入殓师完成任务离开之际，上前痛哭的道谢，以及说出对往生者的内心话。原来，入殓师不仅仅替往生者服务，也间接扮演着往生者和亲人之间的调解角色。

《送行者》非常值得一看的电影！在死生交界处，最美的送行带來最深的体悟。

Job Hunting

2009-07-14T14:58:00.005+08:00

My last blog dated 2nd June, meaning i have not been here for one month plus. Have been demotivated and under stress lately due to some unsolved issues. Did went through a suffering period and finally got myself out of it. It's hard decision but i guess i wont regret over it. Support from friends and families really help out lot. Thanks ;p

Went to an interview last weekend, a walk in interview. Prepared myself with those 'interview' questions and knowledge and info related to the company. But it end up asking me all about my projects back in Sony. I thought i have these in my mind, so didnt prepare much on it, but in fact, i have forgotten most of them, even the part names

, the features etc. So i dont really having high hopes in it, but do hope miracle happened and the internal help from my friend will be working.

Not much job in R&D mechanical that i can find lately. Trying not to change field, as i do like R&D and also i only have experince in this field. However, i will need to make another decision by end of this month if i still cant find a job during then.

Nicky animated GIF

2009-06-02T21:22:00.004+08:00

As said in previoud post, i wanna make one for my nephew Nicky and here it is. It only supports GIF up to 2MB, so i have to divided into 4 animated GIFs. Temporary put only one first, putting all together make thing so messy.

Making a simple GIFs by joining all photos together is much easier than the previous one (animated hand writing like GIF). Just put all the photos into Unfreez and make sure the sequence is what we desire, then finish.

Just making this to put several photos into one file, thus i do not need to put in too many photos and take up too much space in my blog post ;p

Bukit Genting

2009-05-19T19:10:00.003+08:00

Went to Bukit Genting on last Saturday with Lina, Cheewai, Chuilee and Huaifang. Quite far, deep inside Teluk Kumbar. Luckily Cheewai fetched us, don't think my little MyVi will be able to surpass the steep slope. Cheewai had to keep the car in Gear 1, and pressing the accelarator quite hard to get the car moving upwards. Still, the clutch somehow burnt a little bit as we can smell it.

Luckily, we did manage to go on top and have our dinner on it. The Thai food not really good, just normal. Services was bad, slow table cleaning, only one person take orders, and missed out one of our orders - the kerabu mango that having tried, we would love if we would have cancelled it before they served it -- really bad, only mango taste. Somemore, the food is quite expensive.

However, the view on top the bukit was fascinating. The sunset scenery was superb. Here are some of the pictures we have:

(P/S: Thanks GY for bringing us there and also Katak and Fang who accepted my invitation to have dinner together. It was a pleasant moment ;p)

没有答案，被罚吃东西和喝怪水

终于斩将过关了

结婚午宴

祝福：幸福快乐

我当舅舅了

2009-05-11T18:10:00.007+08:00

从小就觉得小舅在5岁就当了舅舅，感觉好酷喔！姐姐结婚后，我也一直催她让我尽快升级当舅舅。终于，愿望达成了。。。哈哈！

还在姐姐肚子里

外甥名叫刘聂齐--劉聶齊 Nic Qi

姐姐选择让他自己决定以后是否直接叫Nicky

以下就是聂齐的写真了

有些样子很调皮，有些很流氓，有些又很无辜

呵呵。。。

期待月尾第一次和你见面了，聂齐

（当然还有姐姐和弟弟以及其他家人，到时再见咯）

绑架

2009-04-08T16:34:00.002+08:00

“妈咪，快来救我，我被人家绑架了”，耳筒里传来了一女声。

“你女儿现在在我手上”，换了一个男的在说话。

[你把我的孩子带去哪里了，我要我的孩子]妈妈哭着说。

“你是他的什么人？”那男的又说

[我要我的孩子，快还给我]妈妈又一阵大哭

“……”错愕中……

[我要我的孩子，我要跟他说话]妈妈一边说，一边在纸上写‘老千，报警’

“他要和他的孩子说话哦”那男的跟男同伴说

‘妈咪，快来救我’男同伴接过电话说到。

结果，女儿变成儿子，老千自乱阵脚。

妈妈特地用“孩子”字眼的策略奏效。

同一时间，我拨电话到警局，结果他们只是简简单单地叫我到附近的警局去报案。

心想，就算我去报案，也抓不到人，也没有证据。

可怜我们的警方无法与外国的媲美，无法追踪电话来源。

于是，算了，并小声告知妈妈。

妈妈于是直接挂了电话。

谁知，那些老千以为找到“水鱼”了

又再次拨通我家的电话

[哈喽]这次，我接了

“……”迟疑了几秒

“爸爸，我被绑架了，快来救我”

[干你妈，我还没有孩子啦]，实在忍不住这些骗子，于是破口大骂

“干你娘”老千还回应我，才挂断电话

这种案件，已经有不少人受骗

无非是因为担心自己的孩子真的出事了

所以，大家应该在接到这种电话是，询问清楚，仔细分析，以免受骗。

呜呼哀哉……道德沦落、人心难测啊

生活

2009-03-25T21:13:00.003+08:00

羽球

上个星期四场皆墨

这个星期四场全奏凯

回头草

没有机会吃回头草了

被其他马儿吃掉了

无可奈何

因为那时一匹比我更为识途的老马

工作

新一期的广告书册又要出炉了

又是忙碌的时候了

清明节

清明时节雨纷纷

清明节要到了

难怪最近都在下雨

周末连续两天都会去祭拜祖先

惊喜

爸爸拿到意外之财

让我也分享了这个意外

总算暂时解决了燃眉之急

羽毛球

2009-03-19T11:33:00.003+08:00

暌违了近八个月

终于有机会在家乡重执球拍

打最喜爱的羽毛球

回到家乡后

就很少运动了

一直以来都比较不喜欢跑步这样单调的运动

除非有人相伴

又一直湊不足人打球

所以我的运动只剩下搬运传单。。。

机缘巧合下

终于发现有一班朋友每周都有在打球

感谢他们的邀约

在再次离开家乡前

每周一晚上都有球打了

心情是高兴和愉快的

高兴的是

虽然久违，依然打得比想象中好

愉快的是

难得可以重新享受羽毛球的乐趣

只是，第二天早上伊始

我的身体好痛哇

相信下次会好多了。。。

马儿要吃回头草

2009-03-12T14:56:00.007+08:00

俗语说“好马不吃回头草”

现在有一匹不算好也不坏的‘D马’

它发现自己在吃的草并不适合自己的口味

而且，以前的草都很长，长度也差不多

现在的草又短又参差不齐，许多时候都吃不够

但，想要回头时

骇然发现“好马难吃回头草”

转回来路，发现很多草地都被其他马吃得秃了

不然，就是被马群踩坏了

再不然，就是经不起环境的考验，枯死了

垂死挣扎的更不计其数

D马慌了，想要找一小片草地来吃草都找不着

好比前有狼后有虎，进退两难啊

D马只好请教阿Q马

Q马：山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村

D马：怕只怕，还没到村口，你就会看到路上有我的冻死骨了

Q马：天将降大任于斯人也必先苦其心志劳其筋骨饿其体肤空乏其身

D马：我并不想要成就什么大使命，我只是想要生活，想要吃草而已啊

Q马：那就不要回头啊

D马：真的不合口味，草也比之前那些短很多，又不嫩。而且，以前有很多好马儿会陪着我一起吃草，但现在这片草地，就只有我自己

Q马：看来，也只有暂时吃着，等那些草儿长回了，再回头吧，至少你还有草吃啊，很多马已经没有草得到吃了呢

D马：。。。。。。

幸福和快乐

2009-03-02T18:17:00.008+08:00

三月一日对我来说，是个特别的日子

因为是第一个让我达到“感情指数”最高级的女生，她结婚的日子

当然，我和她现在只是朋友关系

也庆幸我们依然是保持联络的朋友

好久没写词了

这次写了前三句

突然发现格式和张学友的“我真的受伤了”很像

于是，就直接用那首歌的曲子来填词

别误会哦，完全没有“受伤”的感觉

纯粹要写得比较顺而已

虽然不克出席她的结婚晚宴

依然要献上我衷心的祝福：

《幸福和快乐》

发型弄好了

彩妆也化了

白色的婚纱也已换上了

新郎来到了

来接新娘了

心情都开始紧张了

新郎闯关了

跪下献花了

所有人的心里都深深感动着

祝福的声音也在围绕着

新郎笑了

新娘笑了

手和手牵着

步上新娘车

美好的将来在前方等着

婚姻开始了

充满憧憬的

祝你们幸福和快乐

感情指数等级

2009-02-27T14:46:00.005+08:00

总是觉得感情是需要经过几个过程，才会变成爱情的。

对我来说，感情是可以被分成几个阶段。

当来到了最后一个阶段，就表示你真的爱上了某个人。

欣赏--有好感--喜欢--爱

会把感情指数分成这几个等级，纯属个人想法

让我欣赏的异性多不胜数

可以欣赏她的美，笑，乐观，热心，认真等等

当欣赏某个人的优点，越来越多时，就会开始对她有好感

当对她越来越有好感，就会开始喜欢她

让我有好感的异性也不少

但让我喜欢的，就不会太多了

不得不承认，曾经有两三次对某些异性朋友的关系感到模糊

以为自己对她们动了情

但当冷静下来思考，就会发现对她们只是到喜欢的阶段

甚至友达以上的喜欢也有，但始终跨越不到爱的阶段

而让我爱上的“不幸者”，至今只有3位。。。

也应该就只有这三位了。。。哈哈

正月十七

2009-02-11T14:22:00.006+08:00

正月十六的半夜，或者说正月十七的凌晨4点钟，我在汗流浃背的情况下惊醒，环顾四周黑漆漆的。。。干！又停电了！我的卧房是“家徒四壁”的，因为完全没有一扇窗。所以，在密不透风的情形，停电时简直就像个热炉。

在农历正月，向来都是比较炎热的。客厅也让我呆不住，只好走到屋外去纳凉。开门的时候，惊觉屋外比屋内的烛光亮多了。想必是哪一户人家有发电机吧。走到屋外才发现，原来竟是月光。一轮非常明亮的月亮高高挂在天上，团团云层在四周围绕。我不禁被这美丽的景象深深地吸引了，直望着皓月愣住了。

回过神来，工程师理性的脑筋也跟着回来了。我想，要不是停电的话，那景象应该不会如此迷人吧！只有全黑的四周才能衬托出月亮的皓白明亮，才能展现月亮跟太阳借来的光。在城市里，应该是难得一见吧。冲进屋里，想用相机把这一刻的景象永远留住，相机却也没电了，用手机相机又拍不出效果，只好作罢。希望还会有机会看到这样的美景。。。

细看那轮皎月，并不是完整的圆形，才提醒自己，元宵节已经过了。对我来说，元宵节主要的庆典应该只是抛柑，并没有大肆庆祝的，至少在我的生活圈子并没有。元宵节，更多的是象征新年的节庆就要结束了。

新年对我来说，主要就是和亲朋戚友碰面的时候，因为难得大家都会回到家乡，齐聚一堂。原本以为自己有很长的假期，应该可以和很多朋友聚会，却忘了他们并不像我那样自由。还好，还是和不少朋友碰面了。

每年初二都会回到十字港外婆家。往年都是我们这一代的一起合照，今年则来个大合照。（小姨的宝贝还会摆POSE呢）

每年的5A1聚会！与十周年纪念杯合照（少了稍迟到的舒雯和钟仪）

与SONY旧同事的聚会

倒霉的夜晚

2009-01-20T23:28:00.002+08:00

今天，都忙着发传单给传单派发员们、去银行处理公司的事情、帮忙处理中五甲一班5A1十周年纪念的纪念品，而最重要的就是继续为家里油漆了。

停滞了一阵子忙公司的业务，年关又已将至，如不加把劲的话，或许我在除夕夜还得在油漆呢。今天，主要是油客厅。妈妈清理墙面和有中下边的墙壁，而我就油上边的墙壁以及天花板的横条木。横条木因为之前的装修工人和了很多水在油漆内，因此很多都剥落了。再加上白蚁的侵害，木条很多都是空心的，也掉落了一些。因此，从新上漆是势在必行的。

油了一整个下午，竟然也只油了天花板的一半。没有办法，手一直往上油实在太累太酸了，只好油油停停的。所以，到了晚上又得继续，油了神台后面的天花板。在只剩下一小截的天花板的情况下，当我在移动楼梯时，因楼梯被电话线缠着，而忘了我还把油漆留在楼梯顶端。

结果，整罐白色油漆就倒了下来，在楼梯上，在我身上，在墙壁上，在地上，全都是白漆。爸妈立刻冲过来帮忙，七手八脚地费了好一阵子功夫，才把地上的油漆清理干净，也不管墙上和楼梯上那不多的油漆了。

接下来，就轮到清理我自己了。本来以为只有手脚上中招，谁知，倒泼在我衣裤上的油漆已经渗透了。因此，我几乎全身上下都是油漆。偏偏屋漏偏逢连夜雨，就在我和爸爸用着唯一一瓶的稀释剂洗手时，稀释剂罐又倒了、破了，我惨了！

这时已经是晚上十点了，要去哪里找到有人在卖稀释剂呢？爸爸去了附近的杂货店试了，结果却是空手而归。没有办法了，只好硬着头皮，用清洁剂和粗布狠狠地搓，洗掉了大部分的油漆，但皮肤都红了。

现在，我的手脚身头上仍然有着一片片的油漆迹。不管那么多了，今晚已经好累，明天再打算吧。。。好倒霉、好累的一个夜晚啊。。。唉，晚安了。。。

P/S: The paint is actually white, just that i cant find a good white spilled paint photo in google ;p

2009年

2009-01-14T17:55:00.004+08:00

好久没有写BLOG了，一年都过去了（其实是3个星期啦），但从看2008年的日历到2009年的日历，还有写2008年的日期到写2009年的日期，还真有些无所适从。日子过得可真快啊。

2008年尾，我忙着年终宣传的传单，还以为之后就会比较得空。殊不知，突然多了一些顾客来源，全部都还是冲着农历新年而来的。因此，比之前还更忙了。

而且，为了迎接农历新年，妈妈也决定为多年来都穿着残旧破烂衣服的房子，添上新装，增加新年的气氛。刚好，比起往年，今年的我是比较方便了，所以便和妈妈分工合作，务必在工作之余，也可以在新年前粉刷完毕。

之前，收到关于我的录取消息，我还需要再等多一两个月，还真有些落寞。但，现在看来，我还真求之不得呢。有更多时间处理公司的业务，也有时间办理新年的筹备工作，真是太好了！衷心感谢那位漂亮妈妈的帮忙（我想，还不是时候公开吧，但你应该知道我说的是谁吧。。。）

新年快到了，到处可听到新年歌曲，看到新年货品。。。每年的新年都是期待着与家人的团聚、和朋友的联欢会。希望今年可以见到所有朋友，期待。。。。

新年新希望

新年加农历新年, 双重希望

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year

2008-12-24T12:03:00.001+08:00

Wah.... long time not being here.
Xmas and New Year is around the corner
Wishing you:
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year

Good news are around me now:
Business for the month is quite ok, but mainly due to year-end promotion. Do hope that it can be maintained until January, as for CNY promotion which normally not much.

The fren who admitted to hospital has recovered well. I just got to know that Liverpool FC boss Rafa Benitez having the same problem with you. But unlike you, he had to go thru an operation to take the stones out. Anyhow, good to hear that you are fine now.

Fren getting married - many wedding dinner to be attended:
Guan and wife - 25th Xmas Day
Keong and wife - 27th
Chean and Lok - 31st
What a busy week as i will be attending to all wedding ceremony and dinner, and become HengTai to all my friends. What a great time to meet all old friends. Best wishes to all the 5A1 couples. Happy forever and hopefully, we can see 5A1-juniors soon.

CNY is also coming soon. We will have new paint for the room (due to water leaking from the roof last time) and if still have enough, will paint on living room and front gate as well. It's time for a new look ;p

Fast Ad Solutions

2008-12-05T16:22:00.004+08:00

Finally, complete editting and updating the company website. Do click on FAST AD SOLUTIONS on the right to have a look and do let me know if there is any mistake.

Although the website has been completed, i am still wondering whether it will has the opportunity to be actually used as a tool for the company. The company is still undergrounded even i have back and working for 4 months here. It's kinda frustrating but i do what i planned - write a new company profile, make a website, systemize the company in several aspects and etc.

However, i failed in some that i have planned - to find new employees as distributors, to send the company profile and website to potential customers, due to the obejction from the CEO. I will talk with the CEO in these few days. If the problem still cannot be soughted out, i guess i would probably heading back to engineer life.

I do not want to talk much about my business life after i really invloved. Many people keep asking how am i doing in the new business, honestly i really dunno how to say. "How is your business?" My answer: so so, not so good. "It is like that one la, for new business, keep trying and fighting man". My answer: speechless. Really dunno how to really tell my actual condition but hopefully i myself can get the answer after the talk.

Has become more termagancy and reticent; easily get angry and always dun feel like to talk recently. Hopefully everything will be fine soon :) Thanks for care and concern from you all.

Petrol Price - Are we being cheated by the government?

2008-11-25T15:23:00.004+08:00

It has been long since I wrote my blog in English. However, I am writing in English now so that more people will get to know about the info I am going to inform. This would be a long article but I hope you can keep on reading to get to know the truth.

Petrol price has been a major issue in our country lately. Taking the info from Wikipedia, Malaysia having 641 cars per 1000 people, ranking third in the world (behind USA 765 and Luxembourg 686), over ranked many others developed countries. From this point, we can know that how much influence that the petrol price will affect the life of Malaysians.

Most recently, petrol price has been dropped to RM2 per litre in which Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Datuk Shahrir Samad claimed that the government no longer need to subsidy for this price and even making profit with 39 cents per litre. This was when I started to feel curious and traced back all the history of petrol price in Malaysia and found that we might have been cheated by the government.

~INTRODUCTION~
Petrol is extracted from the crude oil. Crude oil is traded in barrels. 1 barrel has 42 US gallons of oil which is equivalent to 158.987 litres. With 1 barrel, 19.5 gallons (73.8 litres) of petrol can be extracted, together with some others products like natural gas, diesel, bitumen and etc.

I have checked the international crude oil price from OPEC (Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries) and US EIA (Energy Information Administration; obtained the info from Wall Street Journal). The later provides two types info: Daily Spot Prices of Brent Crude Oil (Value in North Western Europe) and WTI Crude Oil (West Texas Intermediate (Value at Cushing, Oklahoma).

Until mid-2005, the exchange rate has been fixed at RM3.80 to 1 US Dollars. Other than that period, all the values below have been converted to Ringgit Malaysia using the highest Ringgit-US Dollar exchange rate in the months.

According to our PM, basically our fuel price now is cost of crude oil + cost of refining it into petrol + petrol company profit - fuel subsidy. And according to Datuk Shahrir, the station operators take 12.1 cents, oil companies take 19.1 cents, and if refinery price is RM1.30 per litre, the government will be taking 39 cents as revenue.

So, I assume the petrol stations operators and oil companies take their margin of a maximum of 32 cents for the cost of storage, transportations, refining cost, commission and other cost. In the tables below, the cost is marked as ‘A’.

~HISTORY~
From the table below, we can see that the crude oil price plus ‘A’ cost is cheaper than the price we paid for petrol in Malaysia, except in year 2005. Maybe my calculations do not add in the actual refining cost but according to the facts from EIA, the refining cost would be only around 10 cents per litre. So even we add up the cost, we are still paying higher than the market price. This is particularly obvious in 2001-2004 where the price we paid is at least 25 cents higher than the market cost.
~CURRENT~
While my calculations seem wrong above, it did make sense as follows.

~~~Feb-2008
Average crude oil price plus ‘A’ cost on Jan 2008 is 20-30 cents higher than the selling price. So, it is same as what government claimed that they were paying 30 cents subsidies to petrol.

~~~05-Jun-08
Historical price increased by the government until RM2.70 for the petrol price in Malaysia. Comparing with average price in May 08, the government was paying about 20 cents subsidy. At one stage in July, the international price reached historical height at about US145 per gallon, making the cost of about RM3.10 per litre, so the government was paying up to 40 cents subsidy per litre of petrol in that period.

~~~23-Aug-08 / 25-Sep-08
G cost meaning the international crude oil price (without ‘A’ cost) announced by the government. It can be seen that the price announced is much higher than the cost I obtained even I have included the ‘A’ cost. In August, the government said they decrease the petrol price according to the international crude oil price from 1-21 August. They claimed to have an average of RM2.83 per litre. But from my data, I obtained RM2.72, RM2.78 and RM2.81 for OPEC, Brent and WTI respectively. So I guess the government is using WTI data as reference but with slightly higher exchange rate.

Anyhow, during these periods the selling price is still lower than the cost, so the government was still paying about 15-26 cents of subsidy during these periods.

~~~15-Oct-08 / 01-Nov-08 / 18-Nov-08
Even the government kept decreasing the selling price of petrol in these periods; the cost seemed lower than the selling price, so I do not think that the government still needed to pay for subsidy in those periods. The minister publicly announced that the government are earning some revenue starting mid-Nov when the crude oil price was as low as RM1.62 per litre but from my calculations, the government already started to earn in mid-Oct. In Nov, it seem like the government is earning at least 30 cents per litre of petrol. Where the earnings come from? Of course, it is from the people’s money.

The minister claimed that the government could not lower more as the petrol stations will lost a lot. I am not convinced, if the government does not want the stations to lose, there sure be some remedies can be taken.

One idea would be given one-week long period for the petrol stations to sell out all the old-priced petrol using the old-priced, then buy the new petrol using new price but still selling at old price until all the stations over Malaysia completed the cycle. Then, the stations no longer lost, and the citizens can be benefited with lower priced petrol. I think the whole cycle can be done less than a week time.

~~~21-Nov-08
With the data I obtained from OPEC, Brent and WTI, the highest price on 20 Nov would be RM1.45 (Inclusive of crude oil price and ‘A’ cost). So, during these days the selling price shall be around RM1.50, at which we do not need the government to pay any cent for subsidiary.

~CONCLUSION~
I am not fully sure that my calculations are correct, but I think all the data shall be correct as the source can be trusted (OPEC and Wall Street Journal). So, are we really got cheated by the government? Are they hiding something? Is this making sense? Our government has been stressing that they are paying high bills on the oil subsidy but in fact, they are earning from us.

Please inform me if my calculations are not correct, especially the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, who provide different data from mine. Please proof me wrong or else, we are really being cheated by our government.

敢怒敢言但不敢做不敢为

2008-11-14T01:32:00.007+08:00

曾经，对于自我标榜着“敢怒敢言”的翁诗杰，是极为欣赏的，认为他是浊溪中的一股清流。但是，最近这些年来，渐渐发现“敢怒敢言”只是翁的包装，只是一个假象，因为他只是选择性地“敢怒敢言”而且还“不敢做不敢为”，只会卖弄他的文学精句针对某些人。

翁氏刚刚又批评了他的副手“前言不对后语”，但他根本是在自打嘴巴：（以下是自行整理出来的资料）

1．华小“干捞”事件
当初，翁氏公开批评华小工程拨款异常，呈现他“敢怒敢言”的一面。原本以为翁氏的公开后，会有一连串为华小出气的活动。但事实上，他在说出这番话后，就没有下文了。让人看到的，又是马华屈服于巫统的反效果。
当希山慕汀指他 “逞英雄”与“捞取廉价政治资本”时，翁氏马上辩說 “他是在现场回应董事长的询问”、“他的回应被有心人土错误诠释了”。结果，翁氏就开始退缩了，问题还是没有解决。“敢怒敢言”又怎样了？还是真的只是“逞英雄”与“捞取廉价政治资本”？

2．308大选前
在308大选前夕，国人尤其是华裔对国阵存有诸多不满。马华在那时候依然没有开窍，大力卖广告说什么“不唱高调，只求成效”。那时候，“敢怒敢言”的翁氏在哪里了？他可有出来批判？他可有出来为华裔抱不平？完全不见踪影，直到马华兵败如山倒，他成了马华在雪州硕果仅存的国会议员，才重新看见了这位“敢怒敢言”的英雄。

3．巴生港口自由贸易区（PKFZ）46亿令吉丑闻
在308大选前，已经闹得热哄哄的丑闻，造成当时的交通部长陈广才宣布不继续捍卫他的国会选区。我相信，在丑闻闹得满城风雨的情形下，就算他披甲上阵，也会被击败的吧！
今年4月5日，翁氏揭露他将公布巴生港口自由贸易区丑闻事件的来龙去脉。他当时表示，他确实已知道事情的真相，而他本身并未在此事件中涉及任何利益冲突，所以他无畏无惧，并会秉公处理。但至今，我们只闻楼梯响，而不见有任何所谓的真相。后来，在今年7月间，翁氏又公布，将在明年1月之前把能够揭发弊端的财务报告全面摊开在阳光下，让人民知道事件里头是否有涉及贪腐和滥权的现象，并反驳外界指责他“讲到做不到”的说法。
令人纳闷的是，既然他在4月是已经知道事情的真相，那为什么已经知道的事实，还须费时8个月来调查？为什么不直接向国会、财政部或反贪局报告？为什么是聘请私人公司调查，而不直接向反贪局举报，让反贪局介入调查。
个人认为在这起事件中，疑点重重，很难说服大众。这事件的背后会不会牵扯到政治，会不会关系到马华改选？相信也只有当事人才知道了。

4．说一套，做一套
翁氏分别在马六甲马佛总万里茂支会会所动土礼及加影马来西亚官氏公会庆祝第23周年纪念晚宴对凯里大发不满，斥责凯里说公共服务局奖学金土著与非土著的比率调整为55对44将削落土著利益的言论具误导性。翁氏也提出新经济政策应暂缓实行。但，在国会里又不提出不认同新经济政策的立场。
再者，翁氏曾经公开表明他不同意内安法令，也说会把这课题带入国阵最高理事会讨论。既然不同意，但为何在反对党提出在国会辩论相关课题是，却选择不吭声？既然已经反对，也在理事会讨论，那为什么不在国会讨论？反对应该以废除或更改内安法令为终极目标，那在这件事上，还有什么地方比国会更有影响力呢？因为巫统反对吗？还是又是所谓的国阵精神在作祟？

5．马华党选公开电视辩论
当初翁氏指蔡锐明不愿在Astro AEC电视台与他辩论，原因是以华语为媒介语。但是，蔡锐明反驳说，自己非常愿意与翁诗杰辩论，只是希望辩论能够用中英文双语进行，因为马华不能只注重单一语言。
Astro AEC是中文台，没法满足蔡的要求，NTV7作为一个多语电视台，跨语言的辩论不是问题。现在蔡锐明答应辩论了，翁诗杰作为一名内阁部长用双语辩论，应该不成问题了吧？可是翁诗杰偏偏在万众期待下又出尔反尔不辩了！据悉，翁是最早答应辩论的马华领袖（NTV7总编辑莫欣阿都拉甚至在其《星洲日报》专栏中，交待整件事情的来龙脉，并说：讽刺的是，“翁诗杰是马华首批赞成总会长竞选公开辩论的其中一员”。）。又是前言不对后语。
翁诗杰不辨论的理由：第一、部门事务繁忙。第二，党内选举的对象是中央代表，不是全国人民，不需搞成如美国选举般。第三，不需厚待一家媒体，但又不能接受每家媒体的辩论邀请，以免被人批评耽误部长职务。感觉那都只是借口。翁氏一方面拙拙逼人，却不敢上电视对质，回避上电视辩论的理由牵强，让他出尔反尔的作风原形毕露。

试想，一个面对党选对手挑战，却不要或不敢接受辩论的马华总会长，真的是敢怒敢言吗？就算是，他敢做敢为吗？他指责某人前言不对后语，他自己呢？他呛被人说一套，做一套，那他呢？我们还可以期望他为华社谋福利吗？还能希望他和巫统领袖过招吗？说实在的，真的对这位敢怒敢言却不敢做不敢为，对外说一套、对内作一套，又常出尔反尔的马华总司令大失所望啊！

小表弟

2008-11-07T14:53:00.004+08:00

因为外婆死忌的关系，小舅特地回来了一趟，让我们有机会再见到小表弟。上次看到他的时候，他还在襁褓中，刚满月。现在，已经13个月大了。

表弟名叫栎睿（YUE4 RUI4），非常活泼好动，对陌生人也不会害怕，但也不至于让我们直接抱他。看到好奇的事物，他就会伸手去抓。他想要的东西他都会尽力去拿，如果你硬抢走，他还是会去拿回来，不然就去拿其他东西代替。要是一直不给他，他就会开始使用他的武器--哭闹了。

栎睿他很容易专注在他自己要的事物，无论你怎么叫他，甚至拍他、打他，他都不会有反应。因此，很多时候要跟他说话时，都要抢掉他在意的东西，他才会看着你。结果，那天在外婆家，妈妈和我都抢了他的东西好多次。。。

终于，我们家继小姨的三姐妹后，又添加了一个可爱的成员。接下来，就轮到姐姐了，终于可以完成我当舅舅的心愿了，哈哈！

外婆

2008-11-05T18:40:00.001+08:00

昨天是外婆的死忌，我们都回到了外婆家。不知不觉，外婆也过世两年了。然而，两年前的一切仍然历历在目。

回想当晚，接到噩耗的时候，我还在公司里，为我参与的PROEJCT而忙。妈妈拨电话给我的时候，几乎已经泣不成声了，到最后，只叫我问姐姐。我立即拨电话问姐姐，才知道外婆是在车祸中去世的。听到消息的那一瞬间，我整个人楞在那里，满脑子空空的。至到我的学姐问我是否要回家，我才回过神来。原本，我还打算把手头上的事情做完后才回家的，可是我根本心不在焉，心早已飞回外婆家了。于是，就跟学姐交待所有，就匆匆忙忙地赶回家收拾东西，就上路了。

一路上，脑海里不停地想着外婆。说起来，公公婆婆辈的，就属外婆和我们兄弟姐妹们最亲了。除了给保姆照顾的那一段岁月，我的童年几乎都是在外婆家度过的。这也让原本属于城市的我们，有了KAMPUNG般不一样的童年。

小时候，总喜欢跟着外婆到巴刹去。在乡下地方，加上早睡的关系，我们根本不需要闹钟，就会自动起床了。在走去巴刹的路上，有时候因为下雨的关系，泥土都湿湿的，很容易被拖鞋卷起而喷到我们的后小腿和裤子上。外婆总会骂我们，叫我们小心一点，拖鞋夹紧一些，但一回到家里，她就会马上叫我们把沾到泥土的衣物脱给她洗。而在艳阳高照的时候，因为一把雨伞不足够把我们几个小鬼都遮到，外婆就会叫我们跟着她的影子走，就算没有雨伞，也不会感觉到热。

还记得在小学的时候，我曾生了一场大病。什么病我忘了，只记得我只能躺着，什么都做不到，食不下咽，还会呕吐。那段时候，外婆都无微不至地照顾着我。清理呕吐物，喂我吃东西，还不时帮我刮痧。终于在两三天里病愈了。

由于父母都工作的原因，我们很多时候都是吃爸爸在外面打包的食物。因此，外婆总会抽时间来我们家小住几天，煮好吃的给我们，还会把我们家整理得井井有条。甚至在我们上了大学以后，每当放假的时候，外婆也会特地过来跟我们相聚，当然还有特地准备各种材料，煮几餐“好料”给我们吃。外婆的美食当中，我最喜欢的就是炸鲨鱼饼了。虽然现在妈妈有时也会做，但和外婆的相比，还是少了一股香味。外婆曾经告诉我，要鲨鱼饼好吃，有一个重要的步骤。但当时我并不以为意，反正外婆会做就好了，所以现在已经吃不到外婆牌的炸鲨鱼饼了。

外婆非常相信神佛，经常往大小庙宇朝拜。让我钦佩的是，她往往不止替自己和子孙们祈福，甚至会为天下苍生祈祷，也常要我们拜佛时，回向给所有人。在众多神佛中，外婆最信观音菩萨。她告诉我们好多次了，每当她跌倒、撞伤、困难时，她就会向观音菩萨祈求，而总是奇迹般让状况变好。最有印象的是，她跌倒伤到北部，痛到站不起来，但念佛号并承诺作公益后，她竟然就可以站起来自己去看医生了。还有，她也曾经在我家外面拜神时，看到南海观音从云雾中出来对
着她观望，让她老人家更加相信这慈悲的菩萨。因此，我从小就不曾吃牛肉，直到现在，心想反正都不曾吃就永远不吃了。我深信外婆既然跟观音菩萨如此有缘，她离世后应该还会继续受到菩萨的眷顾吧！

在我开始工作不久后，外婆曾语重心长地要我记得在适当的时候封红包给我的祖母。那时，我心里还告诉自己，“阿嫲，放心啦，我不止会包给她，还会包给您”。后来，外婆一直投诉外婆家里的煤气炉的火不够大，烹饪时很慢。当时，心想那我干脆不包红包了，直接买一台新的煤气炉给外婆更好。谁知，我因为刚踏入社会，有很多开支，虽然去看了一些煤气炉，但还没有买下。就这样，我也就错过了机会，成为了我一生中的一大憾事！

曾经，每当生病时，总会拨电话给外婆，问她该吃些什么让自己更快的好起来。拜神、压太岁也是在外婆的教导下完成的，甚至还神也总是要外婆提醒。现在，没有了这个顾问还真不习惯呢。

外婆虽然走了，但她永远活在我们心中！外婆，谢谢您，我们爱您，愿您安息！

昨天下午突然下了一场倾盆大雨，瞬间将住宅区的沟渠都淹满了。看着雨水不住地洒下来，沟渠里的水却极快的溢出来，慢慢地就要靠近我家客厅了。还好，上天还是有恻隐之心，怜悯我们这些人类将受水患之苦，在水即将进入我家门前，雨势就渐渐变小了。终于，我们也逃过了一难。

屋前的马路被淹到只剩一段
水差一点就淹进屋里了（室内手机照，有些朦胧）

之前在北海才能园居住的时候，就试过了几次淹水。忙着阻止沟水渗入，忙着移开会被水浸坏的物品，忙着扫掉或抹掉室内的积水，还有事后的善后工作，想到就有点怕了。还好在最后一次的时候，有一班朋友刚好在我们家里，帮了我们一个大忙。真的谢谢你们SONY GANG！还有，别忘了AH CHENG 是很厉害的！帮我们堵住了浴室的洞口，还帮我们开了锁。当时，我们竟然还笑了他一顿。CHENG 老板，SALUTE! 哈哈。。。

2008-10-05T22:44:00.003+08:00

谢谢朋友们的协助，槟城的房间已经寻获。在INTERNET 找了好一阵子，又去兜了一圈，打了好几通电话，都没有收获。却忽略了曾经很熟悉的方法--去7-ELEVEN 看布告板。衷心感谢雪雯的帮忙，终于找到了房间。

坐落于BURMAH 路岔路的RAJA GOPAL 路的房子，虽然有些残旧，但还是很整洁的，同住的屋主似乎也还不错。RM250 包水电，房里有衣橱、床架、桌子等家具。地理位置又离她工作地点不远，所以应该是不错的选择吧！

去了槟城几天，好多PAPERWORK要做啊。到现在都还没有搞定。还好那杂乱的ACCOUNT终于都搞得清清楚楚了。希望以后都不会再有这么凌乱的帐簿了。

妈妈最终都答应光明正大的继续这项生意了。希望自己不会再只扮演司机和书记的角色，希望生意可以蒸蒸日上，希望不需要再为前途和钱途担忧了。。。

925

2008-09-25T23:12:00.002+08:00

今天妈妈迫于无奈下，把外公送进了疗养院。虽然有些残忍，但我们实在是没有办法了。阿姨、舅舅和我们都有自己的工作。舅舅们都在外地。照顾外公的这两天里，要定时给外公服药，还要不时帮他递水，准备食物。在他气喘时，帮他配上人工气雾呼吸补助器。半夜时，也要起身帮他。结果，我和妈妈都睡不好，也很难专心在我们的工作上（尤其我们的办公室就在自己家里）。

想必外公的心情一定不好受的，但我们也是在没有其他办法之下才作出这样的决定。希望外公尽快复原吧，这样我们就可以接你回家啦。

最近因近马来新年，很多马来仔在我家附近放鞭炮。虽然有时真的觉得很困扰，还常常被吓到，但也只是想算了，不跟他们计较。可是，这两天我实在忍不住了。他们竟然把鞭炮丢进我家里来，那炮声可说震耳欲聋，连有重听的外公都能听到。昨晚向警方投诉，但等了好久都没看到他们来。今晚又发生了，我再次投诉，终于一辆警车来了。

隔壁MAKCIK也遭殃报警了。那群马来仔早就逃之夭夭了。我们两家就不停地向两位警察投诉。原来，他们总是趁男回教徒去回教堂时才来的。因为，他们认为没有人可以阻止他们。最气的是，今晚我冲出屋外时，看到了他们。他们边跑边说：“KACAU KACAU SAJA”。太过分了！希望警方可以象他们答应的，更频巡逻，不要再让他们这样了。

好与坏

2008-09-22T23:09:00.003+08:00

坏
外公前天晚上进医院了
爸爸在半夜两点才回家，告知在等待的我最新消息
妈妈和小姨丈在医院度过了整个夜晚
我载了姐姐去搭回KL的飞机，就去了医院接班
外公还是觉得一直喘不过气，很不舒服
医生怀疑是心脏或肺部的问题
后来也证实肺部有积水，心跳也不规律
我呆在医院直到下午三点多小姨来接班 好累哟

最近这几年，和他比较疏远了
外婆去世后，也鲜少回去十字港了
在加上外公的一些举动，让大家对他都有了反感
在医院的那段时间里，和外公并不多交谈
无论如何，希望外公会早日康复

好
曾经以为会永远失去的好朋友，突然跟我联络了
停到耳筒传来的声音
真的又惊又喜
相信另一端的你也停得出我的错愕吧
这感觉就好像忽然找会了失去已久的宝物一样
突然觉得失而复得真的是一种幸福

一年半了
你到底发生了什么事情
感觉到了你的欲言又止
听到了你有难言之隐，还有种种的苦衷
我相信你会象你所说的，再慢慢告诉我

交谈中
有一种即熟悉又陌生的感觉
好久没有和你说话，甚至EMAIL和MSN都没有
但所有的话题都围绕着我们共同的生活圈子
真的是好久不见了，朋友

你就要飞去另外一个国度了
谢谢你在临行前还想起我
你似乎对未来存有很多怀疑
不要想太多吧，船到桥头自然直
有心爱的人在身旁，我相信你会走得更勇敢的
祝福你了，朋友
去闯出你的春天吧

虽然我们还是无法碰面
这次请记得跟我保持联络
因为我们是永远的好朋友！

Teresa Kok Released

2008-09-19T14:07:00.011+08:00

Finally, the poor Teresa Kok has been released. However, i wonder why the police have to take such a long time to make this decision. We can actually see from the mentioned petition that she did not asked for turn off the speaker during the muslims azan period, just during their kuliah and ceramah. Check the petition below:

For more detailed information, i think you can refer to the link below. The blogger himself has made a lengthy explanation on this issue and i guess you can know who is really behind this issue from what he has provided:

http://pembelamelayu.blogspot.com/2008/09/perjelasan-isu-azan.html

Now, we have cleared one end of the red ribbon (bebaskan teresa), hoping the other end of the RED RIBBON will be solved soon as well (mansuhkan ISA)!

916? Abolish ISA!!

2008-09-17T00:24:00.007+08:00

Pakatan Rakyat kept talking about 916 recently. It is however not happening, at least on the date they mentioned although they keep saying that they already got more than MPs required to cross over to their side. Whether it will be realize, we will have to wait and see.

For myself, I am not a BN supporter nor a PR supporter. PR keeps attacking BN for their failures and wrong-doings. But for me, whether PR will be a good country leader is yet to be proved. My uncertainty is mainly due to the lacking of human resources in the PR, meaning there will be a lack of quality leaders to form the government, especially most of the leaders already taking main role in the 5 states government under the PR. Well, this is only my own opinion.

Anyhow, I am still very keen to see PR overtake BN to form a new goverment. The post-Mahathir BN government really sucks. I dont really support PR, but i definitely strongly against BN. I guess most Malaysian having the same thoughts as mine. Our PM seems so weak, all the members of cabinet only know how to make PM happy. During Mahathir era, they keep on saying how good Mahathir is. When he has passed his power on to Pak Lah, they all keep getting their gun pointing and shooting to Mahathir, poor Tun. We acknowledged previous PMs as Bapa Kemerdekaan, Bapa Pembangunan, Bapa Perpaduan and Bapa Permodenan respectively. So, what shall we call Pak Lah? "Bapa Ketiduran?"

Hence, I am really glad to see current goverment being toppled. I think it is good to give PR a chance to try. At least I am hoping to have a fairer and transparent government. If PR really cant handle the jobs, then we can reformasi again to create another new government. BN has been ruling for more than 50 years and Malaysia does not seem improve a lot. So why not give PR some time and let them prove whether they are really better than current government as what they claimed they are.

The bright side of all this issue is that at least PR brought out 2 main issues. Firstly, remember 916 as a main national day Hari Malaysia in which Malaysia really formed. I always think that 831 is Independence Day and 916 is the National Day as 916 include all the states in Malaysia.

Secondly, the issue of ISA. ISA is against the common law in which when some one being caught they should be given the reasons and they have the rights to speak with the lawyers. According to what i know, ISA was created to deal with the Communist. But now the Communist no longer exist in our country. So why not abolish this act? It is against the Human Rights. It has been always being miss-used. This act was so powerful that one party can use this act to treat their oppistion without any restrictions. I still remember the time when the courts asked the police to released some Indians which has been caught but the police get them back to the jail using ISA once they are released. This is so unlawful. Therefore, ISA should be ABOLISHED!

中秋节快乐

2008-09-14T10:02:00.004+08:00

明月几时有，把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年。
我欲乘风归去，惟恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒。
起舞弄清影，何似在人间。
转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。
不应有恨，何事长向别时圆。
人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。
但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。

今天是中秋节，祝大家中秋节快乐！

其实，今天除了中秋节，对我来说，还有更深一层的意义！6年了，应该也算是很长的一段时间。谢谢你一直在我身边，一直伴随着我。六年头里，偿遍了酸甜苦辣，度过了冷暖寒暑。我知道我不是很好的一个伴侣，但我会尽我所能地努力。希望我们会有更多的以后，也可以一起走到最后！我爱你！

歌词六之陪伴

2008-09-12T12:07:00.000+08:00

寒风掠过我脸庞
你不在我身旁
分隔在世界的两端
是你我的彷徨

风依然吹得那么寒
我的心还是一样蓝
若你在我就会很温暖
有你在我就会感到心安

一直以来有你的陪伴
陪我渡过多少的风霜
相信只要有你的陪伴
我就会变得更加地勇敢

多么希望有你的陪伴
陪我渡过这一个夜晚
更加希望有你的陪伴
陪我走在人生的这条路上

在中学时期，是我创作的“巅峰”期，灵感都会突然地涌现。在那个时候，骑摩多上课的途中，就会灵光一闪，闪出几句歌词。往往，在抵达目的地的时候，词句就忘记了大部分，甚至忘记了全部也曾经试过。

而这首歌词，是当中的“幸存者”。还记得，那是个非常寒冷的早晨。披了风衣的我，奔驰往学校的路上，依然觉得风寒刺骨，然后灵感就突然来了。心想着，如果那个时候，我是载着女友，而她又抱着我的话，我应该不会觉得那么冷吧！所以，就开始幻想，而有了这首词。虽然那个时候，我只是暗恋着现任女友，还没有付诸行动。

整首歌词几乎都是在路上想出来的，可说是我花最少时间就完成的歌词。有了之前忘记歌词的经验，我一直在路上，不断地重复默念着歌词。到了学校以后，就立即向课室走去，并立刻把所有词句都写下来，终于保住了这首歌词。

华人寄居论风波

2008-09-08T11:47:00.002+08:00

最近掀起的华人寄居论风波，由早期首相漫不经心轻描淡写地带过，到副首相出面道歉，至最后当事人本身出席记者招待会，强烈批评某报记者的不实报导，害了他。我想，国内很多华人都会和我一样，心情有如坐过山车般起伏不定。本以为副揆道歉后，这起风波一定会在当事人的道歉下结束。谁知，当事人不只不道歉，还说他是被陷害的。整件事情可真是峰回路转！

现在，公说公有理，婆说婆有理，除了当晚在现场的人士，我想没有人知道事情的真相。为了求证，我问了当记者的爸爸。他说现在的确有很多年轻的记者常在报导中犯错，尤其是在翻译的过程中，所以还是有可能象当事人所说的那样。

但是，我从头再分析了一次，发现里头有很多矛盾。为何当事人在被各媒体痛批的一个星期里，完全没有作出任何反击和澄清，情愿在事情闹大以后，甚至还被警方援引煽动法令调查，才来述说自己惨遭陷害。还有，据说当晚当事人在演讲时，副首相人也在现场。如果真的象当事人所说的那样，他当时只是在讲历史，难道我们尊贵的副首相没有听到，还是他没有在听？不然，他应该已经帮当事人澄清而不是道歉了事了。这是我觉得最矛盾的地方。

巫统领袖利用种族课题来巩固本身在马来族群的地位，已经屡见不鲜。巫青团团长在事隔一年多后，才在308大选前为自己高举马来短剑事件道歉（而且还不是直接道歉，只说如果我伤害到你们，我“愿意”道歉；就好像“月漏论”的当事人，一直不愿对被辱者道歉，在全国妇女群起轰炸下，才说如果我们让妇女们感到不安，我们”愿意“道歉。）这样的道歉有诚意吗？有觉悟吗？我国的政治人物真的非常幸运，做错事不必辞职，更不用道歉，（如国会大厦漏水事件，AP准证问题，玩弄种族课题等等〕在国外早就被轰下台了！

希望「华人寄居论风波」不是又一个只为了巫统党选，为了拉拢选票而搞出来的课题，也希望整件事情可以早点水落石出。错的不管是哪一方，就请认真并勇敢的出来道歉吧！不要让马来西亚变成一个不会说”对不起“的国家！

Badminton Jia-you 加油

2008-09-04T12:06:00.001+08:00

Ever since the lost in Olympics Beijing 2008, BAM keeps asking the so-called "diamond" badminton men double pair of Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heung to explain the reasons for why they lost in the prestigious games.

I am really upset with the BAM attitude. Winning and losing are just parts of sports, why is it we need a reason when we lose? This is ridiculous? So, shall BAM also ask why Lee Chong Wei lost easily to Lin Dan in the final match? What about the other players? Then, shall Swiss government ask their most valuable player Roger Federer why he lost?

I felt that BAM has always being unfair in their planning and working style. Koo-Tan was the one who help the country won back the All-England and Asian Games champion. Since then, BAM treated them differently with other players. Every time there is a game, they will say this pair is our best chance, and they will help in all ways to help them to get the champion, neglecting all other double pairs feeling. Is there only one double pair in our country?

Then when the diamond pair lost, they have always being asked for reasons and being urged to get better results or else some actions will be taken, like the one happened after the Olympics. BAM has being unfair to the other players before the games, and being unfair to the diamond pair after the games. Why not just focusing on to improve the performance of all the players instead of blaming for their bad results?

I am not a professional, but I think that the diamond pair is not as good as what BAM claim them to be. Their technical skills maybe is the best of all players, but they really lack of privities and not well perform in their combination. Personally, I think that Koo is too one-man. I can always see him running all over the court to save the play which some of that should have been Tan’s area. If he continue playing in such ways, why not considering changing him to become a single player since we are also lack of single player (only Lee CW can be our hope).

Personally, I like the Fairuzizuan-Zakry pair more. They maybe not having the technical skill as good as Koo-Tan, but their combination of play is very good with well privities, and it is nice to watch them playing, cover each other’s back very well.
I hope BAM will stop accusing the Koo-Tan pair and find a way to improve their performance and will be fair in treating all the players. All the players Jia-you 加油!

My New Life

2008-09-02T13:33:00.001+08:00

Finally got myself out of the stone age and back to broadband life. Nevertheless, i still want to complain about Streamyx here for their drastic actions to get my line working. I need the maximum of 7 days to get the line working and it only works satrting in the afternoon. It is much more annoying as other service providers (Celcom 3G works within 2 days and P1 W1MAX can works in half days!)

Many people asking how's my life is after starting a new job in Alor Star. Well, it is just all new to me and I am still trying to adapt with this new working style.It has been one month plus since i left Sony. Now, working as an assistant of my mom for the newly setup company called Fast Ad Solutions (FAS). Our main business would be flyers distribution in northern Malaysia areas, north to Jitra and Changlun and South to Simpang Empat and Kota Sarang Semut.

Since my financial would be largely affected compared to my previous job of a mechanical design engineer (a tough job with huge stress and burden bnut offer a stable income and acceptable bonus and even OTs), i also worked as a part time packaging staff for my brother-in-law's comapny. Cut and pack lense paper into boxes for sale. I have finshed one lot and now waiting for the next to come.

Currently, not much i could do for the new company as i am still in learning stage. Mainly, i am only a driver, helper and a clerk. Normally i am quite free except the time when we got orders from customers. Then i will have to go to pick up the flyers, weigh the flyers and separate into groups for different areas/quantities for each distributors. Then, i will compile the distribution report to the customers and file the quantities for each distributor for easier calculation for their pay which will be paid at the end of each month.

Well, what i have done so far is just like what i have mentioned above, others just tiny-tiny jobs. And i am still working to improve on the company systems. But i did face many problems with it as all customers having different requirements and all the areas are not well organised yet. And i also quite confused with the company flow sometimes. Looks like there are still much for me to learn and plenty of rooms for me to improve on. Hopefully can get over it soon.

歌词五之暗恋

2008-08-27T13:53:00.000+08:00

一见到你
我的心就跳个不停
想和你交谈几句
却始终没有勇气

你的眼睛
相似充满了话语
好难理解你
又似乎很好奇

躲在角落偷偷看你
心里就无比高兴
是否你也会选择逃避
无时无刻都想着你

叫我怎么把我的心情
都说给你听
朋友都说我们不可能在一起
叫我怎么把我的感情
都给你说明
朋友都劝我选择放弃
但我从不放弃
我会一直等下去

这首词名为<暗恋>，也是我在中五读书时，暗恋一个女孩时的心情记录。这首词记录了我暗恋她时的感受和所做的一切。虽然，我在最后都没有和那女孩在一起，而且也失去了联络, 但在这里祝福她永远幸福快乐！

这首歌是我第一首有正式曲子的歌，也是第一首（唯一）被发表的歌曲。我的朋友-永昇在看了歌词后，感同身受，帮我作曲。永昇也在是次的发表会中，亲自演绎了这首由凯伦编曲的歌。

那次的发表会是在我中六时举办的，主办单位是我参加的一个创作坊 – 优旋创作坊。这首歌在我心目中，占据了很大的位置。因为，这是我第一首有正式曲子的歌，第一首发表的歌，第一首让很多人听见的歌，还有。。。。。。总之，每当我想起发表会的那一刻，就会格外感动，让我有一种继续写歌的冲动。

歌词四之我们的朋友

2008-08-07T09:54:00.003+08:00

烦恼的时候
总有你在身后
共同分忧
喜悦的时候
总有你在左右
一起感受

不知道你可会否
怀念彼此曾拥有
希望我们还会有
相逢相聚的时候
那也只能等你归来之后

我们的朋友
知道你要走
心里难免会有一些难受
我们的朋友
你即将要走
所有感受只能现于眼眸
我们还是一群好朋友
最要好的朋友

我们的朋友
你即将要走
祝福的话语收的够不够
我们的朋友
你离开以后
书信联络是否已经足够
我们还是一群好朋友 ~ 朋友

不知道你离开后
会否想念着朋友
相信我们还会有
欢唱相聚的时候
只要等你学成归来之后

我们的朋友
你即将要走
离别或能酝酿友谊的酒
我们的朋友
你离开以后
才能看透友情是多深厚
我们还是一群好朋友 ~ 朋友

让我们手牵手
把友谊种在心头
默默期待守候
它的天长地久

我们的朋友
知道你要走
心里难免会有一些难受
我们的朋友
你即将要走
所有感受只能现于眼眸
我们还是一群好朋友
最知心的朋友

我们的朋友
将来或以后
都别忘要彼此一起守候
我们的朋友
若干年之后
重聚的时光会向我们招手
我们还是一群好朋友 ~ 朋友

这首词是在写了爱不是占据不久后，我的一个好朋友，要到外国去深造三年之久，而在他飞奔异国前，仓促地用同一首曲写下的。其实，写下这词时，真的都是我的肺腑感受。当时曾怀疑我们之间的友谊可能会因距离，国度，时间等问题而变得疏远。不过，事实胜于雄辩，真正的友情是经得起考验的。

可是, 从去年开始, 我已经和他失去联络了. 试过了电话, 短讯, 电邮, 全都没有回音. 筑正, 到底发生什么事了? 请你跟我联络好吗?那天Vanessa 说会帮我通知你，我相信她是做到了，为什么我还是没有你的消息呢？无论如何，祝福你，朋友！

歌词三之爱不是占据

2008-08-04T09:15:00.001+08:00

自从认识你
泛起爱的涟漪
情不自禁
写封信给你
告知我的爱意
等你回应

谁知道你的心里
已有他人的身影
我多希望你可以
为我而把他给放弃
你却对他那么一心一意

爱不是占据
虽然我爱你
却也不能为爱而强迫你
爱不是占据
真的没关系
见你开心我就会很满意
我会一直一直等着你（我还是会一直等着你）
等你回心转意（爱你）

好想让我失忆
让我不再惦记你
然而对你的情
已深埋心底

这首歌是在我获知光良有个填词比赛而写的。最后，却因为来不及完成而没有参加。不过，看过得奖的歌词，也知道自己的水准还差得远。这首歌后来只采用了专业作词人的作品，名为“第一次”。不过，我本身觉得那首得奖的词写得比“第一次”还好呢！

Red Cliff 赤壁

2008-07-30T12:42:00.002+08:00

I have always been a Sanguo 三国 fans and I have actually just read the story of 三国演义 again before I watched the movie. I have also read thru the real history of Sanguo with 三国志. As such, I have watched the Red Cliff 赤壁 butt it was to my disappointment.

I do not like:
This movie was not following the Sanguo story neither the real history. It is actually a new version of Sanguo by John Woo and his mates.

I have always like the part where Zhao Yun 赵云 save Liu Bei 刘备 son. This part is quite good but Zhao Yun actually managed to save one of Liu Bei wife as well. Also, Liu Bei shall throw his son away saying he prefer to lose his son rather than his great general Zhao Yun who fought to save his son’s life. This part is the main part that shows Liu Bei great leadership and kindness 德才 that he is able to group all the great people to help him. But this movie has taken this part away.

Zhang Fei 张飞 supposed to ask his soldier to tie tree branch on their horses to create hazes to make like they have lots of forces that scared the opposition away after Zhao Yun return but again this part was cancelled. This part is supposed to show Zhang Fei also has some other skills other than fighting, and also to show how great he is as a general as none of the opposition dares to go nearer to him. The movie made Zhang Fei using copper mirror to deflect the sun light into the enemy’s and horses’ eyes, this is the first time I heard about this in Sanguo, thanks to the screen writer and the director!

Guan Yu 关羽 not supposed to have been in the fight as he already went to request for help in another city. They only met him back after the opposition being scared away by Zhang Fei. Besides, Guan Yu normally fights on this horse 赤兔马 and not on his foot.

ZhuGe Liang 诸葛亮 which Takeshi Kaneshiro 金城武 acted seems a bit weird. His eyes always being super tiny and the way he walks are just funny. And he keep on talking nonsense with Zhou Yu 周瑜 and so does Zhou Yu.

Liu Bei still making the straw shoe even he already has a troop of soldiers, fighting for the honour of Han Dynasty? I do not think so.

Zhou Yu’s wife Xiao Qiao 小乔 which Lin ZhiLing 林志玲 acted also seems not so good. I simple don't liek this character. I felt like she was always trying to attract and flirting with Zhou Yu especially the scene where she helps to wrap the bandage.

Sun Quan 孙权 is not that indecisive as the movie plays. He can only make up his mind after fighting with tiger? And Zhou Yu was so powerful that he can stop the other generals and soldier to save their leader when he was fighting with tiger? In fact, if Zhou Yu really did this, I think most of the others will think he is trying to kill their leader.

Sun ShangXiang 孙尚香 – this name was not mentioned in the books. Normally she was only called as Sun Quan’s younger sister or Liu Bei’s wife after they get married. She can actually attach on the acupuncture point of human and even horses? Wow!!!

Cao Cao 曹操 can actually send his army to the back of Red Cliff to attack? If so, why would he use ships to fight which he is not good at? He can then direct send all his army to attack thru the land. This is nonsense! They never fight on land according to the history in the war of Red Cliff. If on land, it is also just beside the Chang Jiang which they set up their base.

I think the director and screen writer sure like Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun very much that h\they tried to make them to become friends. Most scenes also focus on both of them. Zhou Yu saves Zhao Yun life by blocking the arrow with his own body when he was coming out fighting armless? Who dare to go out to the war field armless?

Anyhow, there are still some parts which I like. I like the war scene, it is very real especially the formation of Eight Trigrams 八卦阵. Even I am disappointed with this movie, I think I will still watch the second part, to see how they will get the war of Red Cliff on show. Hopefully it will be a great one!

歌词二之猜不透你的情

2008-07-30T11:35:00.002+08:00

你像是很远
却又像是很近
我不很了解你
你却常在我心里

我是真的喜欢你
难道你并不知情
我不想这样下去
却只是无能为力

我猜不透你的表情
我猜不透你的心情
难道我们的相遇
只是一场游戏

我猜不透你的感情
我猜不透你的爱情
难道我和你
只能在爱与不爱之间的距离

其实, 除了第一首歌词, 我写的歌词的排列我都忘了. 这首词, 我也不知道它是我写的第几首歌词. 其实我每次写词, 都会尝试直接为它谱上曲, 但毕竟我是不懂音符的人, 我的曲听起来, 总是会跟其他流行歌的曲类似.

比较跟第一首歌, “自从对你暗恋” 我只在chorus 有曲, 但自己也认为非常难听. 而这首 “猜不透你的情”, 整首歌词都有曲, 但听起来总觉得像光良品冠的歌. 这也难怪, 因为我听说, 不会乐器的人, 都会不由自主地抄了他人的曲子.

话说回来, 其实, 我会自己谱曲, 也只是为方便自己写词. 比如, 这句该有多少个字, 该有多少句等等, 都因为有曲的限定, 而显得较易控制, 也比较容易记录在脑海. 很多时候, 写词都是在没有纸笔的情形下, 因此, 都靠自己用脑袋记住. 当然, 也有记不住的时候, 那时候, 总会为了要逼自己想起, 而弄得自己头昏脑胀!

歌词一之自从对你暗恋

2008-07-25T18:07:00.008+08:00

自从认识你的那一天
心中对你有莫名的思念
我不知这是否叫爱恋
只知道这似乎有点危险

终于有一天我才发现
你早已深深烙在我心田
我不知我是否一厢情愿
只知道你让我有了许多改变

自从对你暗恋
我的世界停滞不前
自从对你暗恋
我每天对你有万倍的思念

自从对你暗恋
我的日记不再拥有从前
自从对你暗恋
我的梦想只有与你的明天

自从对你暗恋
我再也不接受爱神的箭

这是我写的第一首歌词. 可是, 总觉得写得不好, 也有很多语病. 我试过把它改了很多次, 但改了又改, 还是无法让自己满意. 最后, 我还是放弃了. 毕竟, 第一次, 难免”万事起头难”. 那时的我, 只希望将来可以把词写得更好.

Farewell

2008-07-19T09:08:00.008+08:00

Yesterday night was my farewell dinner with Sony colleagues. It was also Patrick last day in Sony and we had a farewell dinner together. Well, it is just a simple dinner. The dishes quite nice and i ate til very full. Thanks for everyone, especially Gromit Leong who was the organiser.

Thanks MI Tan for the gift. I like it and already put it on over my neck.

Bought a new handphone finally after my handphone being stolen. The chosen one is Nokia 6120 after a long survey to find a phone that i like and within my budget. Cost me RM730 with the memory card. Considered as my farewell present for myself...haha

Last day in Sony

2008-07-18T11:00:00.005+08:00

Today is Friday and I am not working. Why? This is because yesterday was my last working day in Sony.

It has been nearly 2 years since I served Sony, working as a mechanical design engineer. It was a great time there as I learnt much on mechanical design and other technical things, got to know many good friends and working in such a good environment.

Then why I would leave, you may ask. Well, it has been long since most of us think that our salary and workload have not been on the same level. I guess we are doing at least 1.5 times other engineers job here, yet our salary is lower than theirs. It has been more disappointed when we were looking at our yearly increment which will never chase up the inflation rate.

I have to admit Sony does have what other company not offering: OT and a quite good bonus. This may be good news to some who like to earn OT, but not for me. I prefer to spend more time at home rather to work until mid-night. Ever since I started to become the PIC for the projects, I have been so busy that I have not much personal time left.

I still remember during my previous project, there was once when I was overloaded and I was working OT for more than 2 weeks including 2 continuous weekends. That made me working OT continuously for about 19 days. It was the day when I went to work early in the morning, and only back to home after 11pm. The days when I never seen my GF for the whole week. That’s making me thinking more about my life and job. Do I really want to continue such life?

Sometimes when I was on MC, I felt good as I can rest more. But when I back to work, my to-do list will become longer than before, especially when I was working alone in a project, without any team mate or assistant. It was then the time when I still went to work even I am not feeling well.

My health is worsening but my wealth does not seem to get any improvement. So, I decided to quit when my mom started a new company, with advertisement flyers distribution as the main business. I think it is an opportunity for me to explore different experience and try out my luck and talent in other field.

If I so unfortunate that I failed in the new field, I still can back to engineering world to start over again. But if I never try out, I will never know what I can get in other world.

Anyhow, it has been a great experience to have been working in Sony. Sony is a place where I started my first job. Sony is a place that I got to know a bunch of great friends. Sony is a place where I fulfilled my dream to go to Japan. Sony is a place where I got to learn Japanese FREE. Sony will be always stayed in my heart.

Good bye Sony and all my friends, colleagues, seniors and superiors. Hope our friendship sustained although we are not working together anymore. I’ll bring along all the good and sweet memory with me. Thank you to you all!

great friends in Sony (sorry that i cant put all people here)

Birthday Party + Gathering

2008-07-15T15:51:00.007+08:00

On last Saturday (12th July), we have had a party at Gromit Leong’s house. Its main purpose is to celebrate birthday for those born in July, but I guess it is also a time for everyone to gather (especially those ex-Sonys) and to get ourselves relax.

Lots of foods have been prepared and steamboat will be our main. Yan, Heah and SK, thanks for the great soup although tom yam lack a bit taste but it was still good enough. Thanks all future-moms helped in the kitchen. Thanks MI Tan for the nice fried chicken also. Thanks all who helped to buy things. I guess everyone had been eating until really full.

Happy birthday to you ~ originally, we only plan to celebrate for Leong (7th July), SK (9th July), Tiger (14th July) and Alvin (24th July, can’t make it though due to “some special reasons”). However, we added my gf Lina (23rd July), Lau’s gf Xin Ying (dunno how to spell, 19th July is not mistaken) and Ken’s gf Jenny (dunno when July) on the spot. Happy birthday wishes to all birthday boys and girls. Hope you all having a great time and may all your dreams come true!

Happy Birthday to u ~ ~
Time before everyone started to go back ~ ~
We have a great time chit chatting, playing PS and playing Rami ~~ syiok! Leong, KC, Ngooi, Tiger and me even played until the next day.

I really enjoyed this type of activities and hopefully I will able to join for next even after I leave Sony. Thanks everyone! (Leong, Yan, Lau, Xin Ying, Saw, Emily, Cheng, Tiger, KC, Ken, Jenny, Heah, SK, Ngooi, Stanley, MI Tan and your 2 lovely children)!!

Blog In Chinese?

2008-07-11T18:04:00.001+08:00

I have always wanted to write my blog in Chinese rather than in English as it would be better for me to express myself in my mother language. However, I found it difficult to type in Chinese as I need to use Han Yu Pin Yin to type every words which is quite time consuming.

I have always trying to learn an easier way to type in Chinese, like using other typing methods. One of those is called Wu Bi which my dad is using and the main point is that my dad is typing real fast. But I failed in the learning process, can’t really capture the right ways in using it.

So, I have decided to change – to write in English but will write occasionally in Chinese when there is something special to share, which would be better being expressed in Chinese. Moreover, after leaving Sony, I am sure that I will be having more time in doing this. Hopefully, my blog would become the one I wish soon.

Anyhow, writing in English does has it own pros. At least, some one like Eugene who is a banana and non-Chinese will know and understand what I am writing J

Delay of the end of Sony life

2008-07-09T13:14:00.000+08:00

Today I have delayed my last working day in Sony from 14th July to 17th July. Yes right, you didn’t get it wrongly; I purposely delayed my last working day. I was the one who suggested it to my boss and went to HR and request the date to be changed.

This is mainly due to I can’t finish off my job on hand in time. I already promised to my boss and project leader that I will help to finish all the things before I leave Sony. Many people told me actually I can just leave, leave all the stuffs to other people. However, I can see almost all people are very busy right now and have their own projects, and most importantly they are not clear about mine. So, the one mostly likely to continue my job would be my assistant during the last project. But he already has a new project and quite under stressed. I just can’t let him be in such situation.

My former colleague, YS thinks that I must be feeling reluctant to leave Sony. Well, I have to admit that I am some sort loath to leave Sony. I have been in this company for nearly 2 years and it is real hard to just leave like that, especially I have got to know many good friends here. Anyhow, life has to go on and there are more reasons for me to leave Sony than to stay here….. haha

P/S: I have brought my PC back to Alor Star. So I will be not able to online until I get back hometown and install Streamyx again. I can’t play DotA now, can’t update my blog when I wish to (now writing in office, hehe), can’t surf thru the webs and can’t contact with many of my friends (I lost my HP). Life without PC is really sucks.

The day after

2008-07-02T21:48:00.001+08:00

The day after the incident, I got a day off on unpaid leave.

I sleep until quite late as I can’t sleep well that night. By the time Lina back from her office, it was already about 10.30am. Have a breakfast and bath, then out to settle all the documents that I have lost.

Not releasing what should be done first, I went to JPJ first. I reached when it suddenly rained. There was no signboard at all in the JPJ, so I follow most of the crowd to go inside but I found that it was not the license department. I asked an officer and he pointed to a stairs and asked me to go upstairs. That cheap officer actually led me to the wrong stairs where it was stated “Please use the main door”. Sh*t!! So, no choice and I went out back but cannot find the entrance until I asked the guard. But I still can’t make the new license as it required IC or temporary IC.

So, I rushed to the JPN in Bandar Perda, it was only about 12pm then. But the clerk informed me to go back at 2pm rudely. There was still one hour to their break time but…..

Then I go to Maxis centre to get a new SIM card. It was so crowded and I was directed to counter 5 which have no one there. Queuing up there until one lady name Anna come to ask me. Luckily she did as I only realized that I need my IC for replacement of SIM card as well.

It was 1.40pm that I went back to JPN, waited until exactly 2pm only the door opened. Rushed to the counter to get my number, and I was directed to counter 2 soon enough. The officer was much polite than the Pertanyaan girl. The lady at counter 9 who took my photo also served politely. To my surprise, the whole process took only about 25 minutes. Well done! Except to the Pertanyaan girl, come on please be more polite! And I need not to pay for it as well J

Then I went back to JPJ, the aunty at the enquiry counter was so nice. I saw many people eating inside the counter and chatting around, doing nothing. Luckily need not to wait long for my turn. It took about 20 minutes to get everything done, just that I have to pay RM20 for the new license.

Next, it was the Maybank to get my ATM card. Need to wait for quite some time and have to pay RM10 for duty fees and RM12 for the new ATM card, no choice. After that, went back to Maxis centre. It was more crowded than before. I was still queuing up at counter 5 and waited for quite long, until the nice officer Anna came to serve me again. Syiok, need not to queue again. But she informed that I will be charged RM25 for the SIM card to my next bills. Again, no choice.

So, total up:
IC – RM0
License – RM20
ATM – RM22
SIM – RM 25
New wallet – RM149 (I like it J)
New handphone – still thinking…….(Should be a Nokia, 6120 and 6500 are my selected ones but still want to compare some others for most practical handphone which falls in my budget)

KNS Day

2008-06-29T07:16:00.002+08:00

Initially only planned to update my blog after my resignation. But i have just got an incident which i could not do anything except to express my anger here.

It was about 6.30am in the morning when my GF woke me up as she found our room windows and door (to the balcony; only glass-door opened, steeled door remained locked) was opened. We had these closed all the times before we sleep.

I rushed up and found all the things on the side table gone: my wallet, my handphone and a box containing the house key, car keys and some personal items. I was so shocked and panicked. I went to the window side and found no one outside. Then, i went out to the balcony, first thing to check whether my car is still outside my house. Luckily, my poor MyVi still there.

We found the box in the balcony with all things being poured out. Nothing much they can take from there except the house key and car key which luckily they didn't. Main lost will be my handphone Nokia 6300. Leong, Yun, Hoezy: I have lost the phone which is same model as yours :( My Wallet gone with my IC, driving license, maybank ATM, citibank credit card, Hong Leong Platinum Sub-card (i never used yet ler), the Zing card from my dad (auto-reload touch and go card), cash about 200++ (i have just got thesubsidy for petrol for my motorcycle which suppose to pass to my brother who is using that motor now) and some personal things: Bonuslink card, the notes which my grandma RIP left to us, the "AngGong Hu" which my grandma RIP got for me from Thailand, photos and i also dunno what else i have put inside. Also gone a silver ring and my swatch which i bought in Japan.

My Phone and wallet has been stolen right beside of me. I put it on the side table beside my bed and i was sleeping right next to it. I really don't know the professional thieves did this. I suppose there was more than one people. They used the broom we put in the balcony, a PVC pipe and a badminton racquet tied to a PVC pipe (which i found in the balcony next door) to get all the things. I think they are coming thru the balcony next door as my house does not have any space for them to climb up to. That;s why they left the badminton racquet in the balcony next door.

The strange thing is that they have made my printer dropped from a small shelf, and the things on the side table all dropped but i could not even responsed to that. I suspected that they must have put something to make us pengsan. i dunno but i really wonder why i cant hear a sound???!!

Have been got myself busy to cancel all my credit cards and ATM, and also the phone SIM card. Luckily i got some cards out from the wallet before i went for HK trip. Will need to spent quite some time to get all the cards back and most of them will required penalty and fees, KNS.

These things happened a few times among my friends who stay in ChaiLeng Park but this is the first time i know they even climbed to the first floor. We are now feel totally unsafe living here. What if the thieves get my house key and come inside my house? WHo knows what will happen then.

TODAY is really KNS day for me.......will go to make a police report later on.... TIRED.... KNS

Happy 2008

今天是2008年第一天的凌晨2点30分。女友在作了一整天工后, 又陪我看了一场电影, 回来不久, 就已经悄悄入眠了。

今年的新年，过得比往年都还要平淡。之前，至少都会和一些朋友出来聚聚，聊一聊大家的近况。今年，只有和另外一对情侣一起看电影，还没到12点，就已经回家了。一切就这么地平淡，12点钟声就在我和女友看着一封接一封的简讯中响起了。把一些简讯转发给几乎所有手机电话簿内的号码，我想，朋友虽然无法常常见面，但时候，只要一通电话或者一封简讯，都可以或多或少地联系着大家之间的感情。

新的一年又来到了，回想过去的一年，似乎自己都没有什么变化。在读完了四年大学，终于开始了工程师的生涯。屈指一算，当个设计工程师也当了一年又四个月。不过，总觉得自己和毕业生还是没有什么差别，除了认清了大部分公司的方案进程，在设计的领域，我似乎还没有掌握到任何的基础。公司里的师兄们似乎也对我在闲空时，没有自我学习和研究，颇有怨言。之前的两个月，我的确蛮空闲的，只需要跟进已经开始生产的产品，再提升和解决一些小问题就可以了。

自己的心里当然是万般愿意自我提升，自我增值，但是实在是没有那股推动力。公司里不断有人辞职跳槽，搞得人心惶惶，因为剩下来的人工作量又会增加了。还有，我也发现这份工，并不是我真正要的，但又不知道自己如果离开，又可以到什么公司，又可以从事哪一行？所以算了，就暂时留下，直到找到自己想要的那个。

有时候真的想就这样离开, 回去帮妈妈新成立的公司算了, 但始终不想就这样结束自己的工程师生涯, 而且也不能就这样丢下刚在这里开始自己的事业的女友不管啊. 不过, 我总有一天会回去帮妈妈的, 毕竟那是家里的生意, 在外工作都是要拼的, 倒不如为自己的生意来拼.

好了, 反正新的一年已经来敲门, 是时候至少简单的规划一下自己接下来一年的生活:

工作计划
~ 做好自己身为工程师的责任, 不管自己是否会继续这样的生活, 但至少要过得到自己的那关, 把该做的做好, 并借以提升自己在各方面不足的地方. 同时, 期待自己会有更多出国的机会! 应该会留在这里至少到一年以上吧

储蓄计划
~ 依计划般, 把每个月该存下的钱存起来, 不要乱花, 毕竟是时候开始为婚事和房屋做好准备了. 一直以来, 我都认为27岁是结婚的最佳年龄. 如无意外, 而女友也答应的话, 2009年该是我成家的时候了~期待??

旅行计划
~ 自懂事以来, 我真的很少有机会去旅行, 不是经济上不允许, 就是根本抽不出时间. 姐已经计划着全家去香港旅行, 希望今年可以达成. 香港 – 我来了

瘦身计划
~ 以前那个吃不胖的自己哪里去了? 我想, 从中二开始, 我的体重就有加没减的, 而且体力也越来越差, 以前可以连续打两个小时的羽球, 现在打一场就气喘如牛, 是时候瘦下来并找回自己的体力和魄力了

我愿:
希望先乐和绮真, 还有家人的工作可以顺利发展
希望自己和家人的身体永远健健康康
希望妈妈的公司生意可以蒸蒸日上, 尽快上轨道
希望朋友们生活愉快, 友谊长存
希望新的一年里大家都可以顺心顺利顺意, 快快乐乐

奢望天下太平, 永无纷争
奢望马来西亚可以真正民主
奢望各民族团结和谐, 获公平对待
奢望地球不会再进一步被破坏, 永远美丽
还有, 奢望自己无端端捡到一桶金, 变富豪, 哈哈!!
