iPhone 4S, is it really worth it?

Few days ago, the long waited iPhone 4s has finally made its first appearance. Although pretty much iPhone users thought that it was iPhone 5, but it's not. And rumour has it iPhone 5 will be in the market 6 months later. So here's the question, "iPhone 4s, is it really worth it?" Should I buy or wait for iPhone 5?

Fact #1- iOS 5

iPhone 4S come with the all new iOS 5. Every one of us knows that Apple products will never fail to have a better, upgraded and more improved iOS each time with their latest products. But weeks later and you'll find upgrade and jailbreak for free for the older generation of iPhone.

Fact #2- Dual-Core A5 Processor

The A5 processor gives you better graphics, more speed, all these with lesser power consumption! You'll understand the major difference if you are an existing iPhone user.

Fact #3- 8 Megapixel Camera

Finally, Apple decide to improve on their camera and this time with 1080 Full-HD recording, better and sharper image even with low-light. Apple claims "it just might be the only camera you'll ever need".

The pictures are sharp and rich in colours and I love it. But if you are really interested in cameras, just get a proper ones.

Stabilizer helps to stabilize your footage and it makes a major difference with it.

Fact #4- New Antenna System

iPhone 4 was troubled by the "deathgrip" issue on the bottom right side. If you hold that particular spot while communicating with your phone, you'll pretty much end up with low signal or no signal. And this time, iPhone 4S has finally overcome the antenna issue.

Fact #5- SIRI

SIRI is the major function in the iPhone 4S. Now you can interact with your phone! You can give command to your phone such as setting reminder, note or alarm with the voice recognition system. (Samsung Galaxy S2 has it too.) 

Yes- Wake me up tomorrow morning at 8am.
No- Lick me tomorrow morning at 8am.

So if you are a iPhone fan boy, I'm very sure that you would like to get your hands on the all new iPhone 4S by now. But if you are not and you are not impress, probably you should consider Samsung Galaxy S2 or HTC Evo 3D which comes with latest Andriod.

So what's your decision?

Apple Co Founder, Steve Jobs dead at 56

(CNN) -- Steve Jobs, the visionary in the black turtleneck who co-founded Apple in a Silicon Valley garage, built it into the world's leading tech company and led a mobile-computing revolution with wildly popular devices such as the iPhone, died Wednesday. He was 56.

The hard-driving executive pioneered the concept of the personal computer and of navigating them by clicking onscreen images with a mouse. In more recent years, he introduced the iPod portable music player, the iPhone and the iPad tablet -- all of which changed how we consume content in the digital age.

Fortune: Ten ways Steve Jobs changed the world

His friends and Apple fans on Wednesday night mourned the passing of a tech titan.

"Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives," Apple said in a statement. "The world is immeasurably better because of Steve."

More than one pundit, praising Jobs' ability to transform entire industries with his inventions, called him a modern-day Leonardo Da Vinci.

"Steve Jobs is one of the great innovators in the history of modern capitalism," New York Times columnist Joe Nocera said in August. "His intuition has been phenomenal over the years."

Jobs' death, while dreaded by Apple's legions of fans, was not unexpected. He had battled cancer for years, took a medical leave from Apple in January and stepped down as chief executive in August because he could "no longer meet (his) duties and expectations."

Born February 24, 1955, and then adopted, Jobs grew up in Cupertino, California -- which would become home to Apple's headquarters -- and showed an early interest in electronics. As a teenager, he phoned William Hewlett, president of Hewlett-Packard, to request parts for a school project. He got them, along with an offer of a summer job at HP.

Jobs dropped out of Oregon's Reed College after one semester, although he returned to audit a class in calligraphy, which he says influenced Apple's graceful, minimalist aesthetic. He quit one of his first jobs, designing video games for Atari, to backpack across India and take psychedelic drugs. Those experiences, Jobs said later, shaped his creative vision.

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future," he told Stanford University graduates during a commencement speech in 2005. "You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

View a time line of Steve Jobs' work

While at HP, Jobs befriended Steve Wozniak, who impressed him with his skill at assembling electronic components. The two later joined a Silicon Valley computer hobbyists club, and when he was 21, Jobs teamed with Wozniak and two other men to launch Apple Computer Inc.

It's long been Silicon Valley legend: Jobs and Wozniak built their first commercial product, the Apple 1, in Jobs' parents' garage in 1976. Jobs sold his Volkswagen van to help finance the venture. The primitive computer, priced at $666.66, had no keyboard or display, and customers had to assemble it themselves.

The following year, Apple unveiled the Apple II computer at the inaugural West Coast Computer Faire. The machine was a hit, and the personal computing revolution was under way

Jobs was among the first computer engineers to recognize the appeal of the mouse and the graphical interface, which let users operate computers by clicking on images instead of writing text.

Apple's pioneering Macintosh computer launched in early 1984 with a now-iconic, Orwellian-themed Super Bowl ad. The boxy beige Macintosh sold well, but the demanding Jobs clashed frequently with colleagues, and in 1986, he was ousted from Apple after a power struggle.

Then came a 10-year hiatus during which he founded NeXT Computer, whose pricey, cube-shaped computer workstations never caught on with consumers.

Jobs had more success when he bought Pixar Animation Studios from George Lucas before the company made it big with "Toy Story." Jobs brought the same marketing skill to Pixar that he became known for at Apple. His brief but emotional pitch for "Finding Nemo," for example, was a masterful bit of succinct storytelling.

In 1996, Apple bought NeXT, returning Jobs to the then-struggling company he had co-founded. Within a year, he was running Apple again -- older and perhaps wiser but no less of a perfectionist. And in 2001, he took the stage to introduce the original iPod, the little white device that transformed portable music and kick-started Apple's furious comeback.

Thus began one of the most remarkable second acts in the history of business. Over the next decade, Jobs wowed launch-event audiences, and consumers, with one game-changing hit after another: iTunes (2003), the iPhone (2007), the App Store (2008), and the iPad (2010).

Review Jobs' top moments as a showman

Observers marveled at Jobs' skills as a pitchman, his ability to inspire godlike devotion among Apple "fanboys" (and scorn from PC fans) and his "one more thing" surprise announcements. Time after time, he sold people on a product they didn't know they needed until he invented it. And all this on an official annual salary of $1.

He also built a reputation as a hard-driving, mercurial and sometimes difficult boss who oversaw almost every detail of Apple's products and rejected prototypes that didn't meet his exacting standards.

By the late 2000s, his once-renegade tech company, the David to Microsoft's Goliath, was entrenched at the uppermost tier of American business. Apple now operates more than 300 retail stores in 11 countries. The company has sold more than 275 million iPods, 100 million iPhones and 25 million iPads worldwide.

Jobs' climb to the top was complete in summer 2011, when Apple listed more cash reserves than the U.S. Treasury and even briefly surpassed Exxon Mobil as the world's most valuable company.

But Jobs' health problems sometimes cast a shadow over his company's success. In 2004, he announced to his employees that he was being treated for pancreatic cancer. He lost weight and appeared unusually gaunt at keynote speeches to Apple developers, spurring concerns about his health and fluctuations in the company's stock price. One wire service accidentally published Jobs' obituary.

Jobs had a secret liver transplant in 2009 in Tennessee during a six-month medical leave of absence from Apple. He took another medical leave in January this year. Perhaps mindful of his legacy, he cooperated on his first authorized biography, scheduled to be published by Simon & Schuster in November.

Jobs is survived by his wife of 20 years, Laurene, and four children, including one from a prior relationship.

He always spoke with immense pride about what he and his engineers accomplished at Apple.

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do," he told the Stanford grads in 2005.

"If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on."

Four Injured In Shopping Mall Blast in Subang (Empire Mall)

SUBANG JAYA: Four people were injured while more than 300 people rescued and evacuated when an explosion occurred at the lower ground floor of the Empire Gallery shopping mall in Subang which houses the food court here early Wednesday.

Firemen assessing the damage from the explosion

Firemen from the Subang Jaya Fire and Rescue Department also rescued four other people who were trapped at the lower ground floor of the complex.

The injured, including a Nepali security guard and a local, who sustained cuts caused by falling shattered glass, were sent to the University Malaya Medical Centre (PPUM) for treatment.


In the 3.45am gas-piping explosion, the blast damaged two other floors in the complex. It also caused damages to the adjoining office block and studio apartment.

The scene at the Empire Shopping complex Wednesday morning.

Subang Jaya Fire and Rescue Department station chief Mohd Khairi Daud said they were assisted by their colleagues from PJ and surrounding areas in evacuating the hotel guests, numbering more than 300 people.


The damage to the lower and ground floor of the mall was caused by the impact of the explosion rather than fire, said Selangor Fire and Rescue Department deputy director of operations Mohd Sani Harul.


“The first fire engine arrived at the scene took only about five minutes to put out the fire in some areas,” he said.


Mohd Sani said inspectors from the Public Works Department (JKR) and civil construction consultants had examined the pillars and structures of the building to determine how extensive the blast had damaged the mall.

You don't learn

You just don't learn do ya?
You still think that you have what it takes?
You never consider about other people's opinion.
You are still that desperate bout being someone that you are not.

It's like a pain in the ass, everytime I saw the updates, without failure you are always trying to be a rockstar. Oh man, you should really stop doing that.

- Know your role.
- Start something small and slow.
- Stop acting like someone that you are not.
- Don't be naive and thinks that everyone supports you.
- Learn to listen to other people's opinion and advice.
- Rockstar always look good on stage, it's natural, not something that you have to imitate.
- Rockstar looks arrogant on stage but friendly off stage.
- Just nod your head even you don't agree, keep it low.
- People don't pay your tix to watch you play like shit.
- Discover your own weakness and work on it.
- Don't ever come to me and say it's not my kind of music and I'm not playing that. A true musician appreciates all different kind of music.
- Fast to think, slow to talk. You always talk before you think, you got a bad mouth.
- If you are fat, DIET! Don't ever say 'Yeah, I know I'm fat, and there's nothing I can do about it'.

The list can go on and on forever, bottom of the line, if you always put yourself ahead of everyone, nobody is going to work with you and you will walk the journey with different kind of people, not friends. Don't blame others for your own mistakes. Instead, learn from it and walk the journey together.

Big Fat Bully

Is it a myth, a joke, or reality? There's always a reason behind every words and I believe somehow there's a certain truth behind this!

I've come across bullies in my life tons of time, and just the same with any other kids I was a victim. Did I ever offended the bullies? Did I saying anything wrong? Well bullies don't need any reason to bully you, that's what made them a bully!

So far, 80% of the bullies that I met they are big, fat, short, ugly, bad personality and certainly bad attitude. Why big? Why fat? Why short? Why ugly? Oh well, the root of it is low self-esteem and no confidence in who they are. The only way they achieve confidence and self-esteem is by bullying others and making their life miserable.

I'm very disgusted by the way they act, they talk and the way they walk. But I don't fully blame them because they might experience something that bad.

I have this 'friend' who likes to make jokes out of me, the way I overcome is ignorance! I think that's the best medicine because they'll get tired if their victim have no responds on their jokes. ^^

PS: If you're reading this, you know who you are.. You big, fat, short and ugly fella~ ^^

3.57am

I've been back to Ipoh for a week now. Besides editing video my day job is just going on internet and watching movie. It kinda sucks to be honest. Because I feel completely restless and useless. Well usually most people will say that it's way too awesome doing nothing but just stay in the house. I would agree to it but not for long.

I can't finish up the video editing due to footage was not sufficient. I've to re-shoot the interview again when I'm back to KL, hopefully by then I can finish everything.

Lately it kept me thinking, how does it feel again if I have a partner? But of course multiple question pops out my mind at the same time. Are you ready? Are you willing to spend time with her? Are you willing to travel far just to see her? Etc...

I must say that I'm a person that are tied up with my own things most of the time, I'm not really sure that I will actually sacrifice my time for other person. So I guess it's a no.

I remember once my friend said this "You won't get what you want, instead attracts who you are." If you attracts people that come into your life, it reflects what kind of person you are. If you hate that, then I guess you should start to change! 

Weekend gateway

Finally I'm back at Ipoh for 2 weeks holiday. I still don't get any internet connection at my PJ house that's why my blog have been inactive ever since. I really need an internet connection for work and fun but too bad, streamyx disappointed me again and again.

How I wish that I received the news from TM that they are going to develop UNIFI at my house. I'm so willing to pay the amount for every month just for the sake of the internet connection.

Anyway, I got 2 weeks in Ipoh. What am I going to do? Well today is the 1st day and I did nothing but just place my lazy bum on the sofa. Once in awhile it's seems to be fun to do nothing but I know that it won't last long for sure!

I will get my work done before this holiday finish! Work Work Work!

Sober

It's 1.20am now and I'm sitting in front of my office's computer, many things rush through my head and I'm not feeling so good after all. Why am I feeling emo and unhappy?

I've been working for 9 weeks now, and that actually gave me a lot of experience that I never thought of. I've been interacting with different people, working with different people and deal with different people. Unfortunately what I can say is that I failed terribly.

Why? How? Let's say that there's someone that appear to be outgoing, love to socialize, and taking the credits to himself beat my ass real bad. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike him because I take him as my friend and we went to Uni together. Just that because of his outgoing and good at socializing, everyone tend to like him more than me.

There is time that he knows nothing and I offer my help, teach him everything that I know, everything that I learn and everyone else recognize his effort, not mine. Of course, he never share to others that I'm the one that's helping him from behind. Should I stop helping?

How pathetic of me. Naive. And now, everyone in the office is saying how good he is, how excellent is his performance and I'm the one that always need someone to guide and eventually they feel sick of it and my capability is doubt.

I'm angry, I'm sad and I'm disappointed at myself, I don't understand why is my effort not recognize nor appreciated by anyone in the office? Is it the way that I speak? I swear to God that I'm keeping all my troubles and issues to myself. I won't tell anyone in the office what is my problem and I will handle everything on my own.

Looking at everyone passed by greeted him and ignored me, smile to him but avoided me, it hurts bad, real bad. I wish that he was not working with me, I wish that he were in my shoe, I wish that everyone see the effort I'm putting, I wish that you guys appreciate me.

Sorry, but I don't think I could open myself to you all, anymore...

Happy Father's Day!

It's another Father's day! I didn't know time flies superbly fast! It feels like yesterday that I sent my dad a sms. But anyway I pray that all father may you have a special day with your family. Take this time to enjoy your day! God Bless You!

Accident, AGAIN.

Urgh, I hate the fact that when I'm rushing to do anything and yet I don't get involve in anything but when I'm driving normally and happily accident would occur. Why?

This afternoon when I was on the way to my work suddenly the old BMW 5 series pop up from the right coming to me as I was turning to left. Suddenly she emergency brake! So what can I do? Was I really that close to her back? As far as I concern I was, because the place was having traffic. Everyone was moving like around 50, I guess?

What pissed me off is that why did she emergency brake? Once I get down of my car and I run to hers, she don't even dare to say anything to me. You know why? Because she is scare and I'm pretty sure I'm not in fault because we were already at the same lane. But what suck the most is that JPJ states that anyone who bumps the other person at the  back is consider wrong, NO MATTER WHAT!

I really hate it because it's stupid and it doesn't make any sense at all. So does it means that I can purposely go emergency brake and let people hit me at the back? If so, I can modify my car anytime I like to! Bullshit!

Of course that means that I need to pay for her bills! You must be wondering how much it is and how serious is her car? How funny, it's just some minor scratches. As for me, my radiator broke, skirting gone, head lamp done, signal in heaven now. How much to fix my car? I have no idea yet s I'm still waiting for calls. But I paid couple of hundreds to her! URGH! The funny thing is that she even requested to get a new rear skirting on me! WTF?!

Her skirting's condition wasn't in good shape before this, the foreman told me that. Yet she stood so strong requested I change a brand new whole set of skirting for her! My foreman was very furious and walk up to her pass her the couple of hundreds telling her "Take it or leave it" and so we left the place.

The lesson that I learn today, never ever follow a female driver at the back. Try to avoid as much as possible, but if really we have no choice, STAY AWAY from them! I'm so pissed off that I have no way to express my feelings!

URGH!!!!!

I pass!

VT ain't an easy job seriously. Like I mention earlier which I need to multi-task couple of things in 1 time. It's pretty hard thing for me, but as soon as I get used to it, it's just a very simple job to me. I can do it pretty well now. What I can't believe is that my seniors are asking me to look over the others interns. Shocking but rewarding because it also means that they look upon me.

This week my job is to go out and take care of other assignments. Which also means that I will have a lot of opportunities to interact with other people in the field as well as practice my camera skills. The scary part is the post production. Honestly when I see how my seniors edit it, they do it so so well and make me feel like I don't even know how to edit it. I have couple of footage to edit for these few days. I can't afford to lose my focus.

I'm not really feeling well now due to 1 week of hard work total non stop hardcore working from day till midnight. I don't think I'm trying to boast but I think I did a pretty good job. I'm very happy with everything so far. But it also means that I'm going to have more things coming ahead of me. Gotta prepare for it!

Mistakes

Today whole day sticking myself to the editing of my Quickie footage to be used tonight. Everything went very well I did all the recording that we need and stuff but tough luck, I screwed up some part during the live show. I skipped the phone super and due to last minute changes I messed up the whole 2nd segment. I lost track of the time available for 2nd segment and needed help from Akmar and Daniel which I don't really want.

It's not that I could not handle the VT myself, I'm not nervous at all. In fact, I was kinda confident while doing it, but just because of minor mistakes it caused the whole timeline to messed up. So frustrated of myself. Tomorrow (Saturday) and day after tomorrow (Sunday) I'll be doing VT all by myself, I can't afford to do any mistakes and I won't allow myself to repeat my own mistakes. I will do the best that I could and not let my seniors down. If they can do it, I can do it!

Showdown 2011 Season 2

So today we went to ICT, Shah Alam for the live Showdown 2011 Season 2. Honestly I must say that the atmosphere there is way much better than what you saw in TV. It's very dull all I can say. 1 day you should push yourself here and get hold of it.

Hafiz is really really busy hosting the show, why? Because he have to control the crowd, memorizing his lines, focus on camera, interacting with the contestants while directors giving him orders what to ask, say and tell through his ear piece. Awesome eh? This is what I call it as super multitasking!

Here is our judges, I'm sitting pretty far away from them and lazy to walk to them and snap a picture. I prefer to watch the dance. LOL!

Here is 1 of the camera on the set behind the crowds to shoot some awesome footage for you guys. It's not an easy job. They are always on call by the directors in control room on how they should shoot it. NON STOP.

I didn't get to shoot all of the contestants dancing because the lighting was really gloomy and over exposed at times. This is all I can get!

Hafiz is talking to the dance crew while panel of judges is giving comments about their dance steps.

Now this is how it looks like at the control room. We got directors, producers, MCR, MCP, VT, Lighting man, Audio man, etc. Trust me that you don't want to be inside here. The director and producer will be yelling non stop at all times! 

Showdown had a little fight among the contestants this week. EPIC! I love the fights because it is a reality show, fights are unavoidable. That's all I can bring to you today! Stay tuned for more awesome updates! I will be in charge of VT playbacks and live tomorrow! God bless my soul!

I said I'll fight back

Day 2, working in office today is really really easy. I came to the office around 830 to clean up the desk and tables and prepare for the day. I didn't know how fun it is till me, Paul and Chelsea were assigned to follow Jessica and Andrea to do our assignments. Why? Because I was thinking that it will just be another story to cover, talking to the organizer and shoot some videos, but I was so so wrong!

So when we reached the place in KL for the press conference, we registered ourselves as 8tv crew's intern and they gave us 2 packs of freebies consist of facial masks, a very nice key chain, Korea tour guide book, 4GB pen drive and lots of it. I was quite happy for that until we were treated with an awesome Japanese lunch by Executive Director (Gavin). He's a passionate, friendly and visionary guy, I admire him really really much. Hopefully someday he will see the market of Metal and Hard Rock music in Malaysia someday and try hard to push us out!

Yesterday I was badly beaten up by VT's job scoop. For me it's way too much to handle in little time. But today I spent hours and hours sitting in front of the ingest room with my senior Akmar role playing on how to run the system. I didn't fully master it yet but at least I got it around 30%. I know I'm a slow learner and I really need a lot of practice to make it perfect. I have another 1 or 2 days to practice before throwing me alone with the systems.

I said I'll fight back even it'll take everything that I had. But I'll never give up. I know I will get screw by my seniors these 1 or 2 days because of mistakes, but without mistakes I will never have a chance to know where I went wrong and overcome it. I just have to straight up, stand still and prepare for the bullet. I'll take it like a man.

Tomorrow I'm going to be at Showdown 2011 @ ICT, Shah Alam. It's WAR!

1st day of work

Yesterday night I was really pump up and excited on how's my internship is going to be. I was so excited that I couldn't get some proper rest. So how was my 1st day at work?

Today I got my 1st duty arrange by my boss, as a VT. Video Tape Operator. It doesn't sounds like a big shot job isn't it? But trust me, I was thinking that too until I got to know what is the real job that VT need to do. I need to compile all the commercials, bumpers, text and prepare to air it online, a time keeper, a middle man between director and conty, editing and then backup. That's my job scoop!

Now it sounds like some serious job? I can't afford to have blank screen air on nationwide and no mistake must be made since it's live! Meaning, I need to be super alert on set and no mistake it allow. Not even a little bit! Stress? Yes!

And so the pressure and stress rose up like a wave rushing over me, it will either break me or strengthen me in the future, how's it going to be? I asked myself this question throughout the whole day believe me! Not a single moment I never stop thinking of quiting or asking for another position. But I know it's for my own good, I need to get over with this hardship!

All my seniors come to congratulate me because I get the toughest job scoop there is in 8tv Quickie production team. They said if I get through this, the other jobs means nothing to me. Believe me when I say, it's easier to be said than done. Am I crushed? Yes. Am I giving up? No.

I believe that God is with me, no matter what's coming ahead of me, I know that God will have my back because He said that I'm the head and not the tail, I'm above and not beneath. God keep blessing me with knowledge and wisdom to overcome this. I really need You!

Excited and nervous

I'm so excited and nervous at the same time, why? Because tomorrow it's my 1st day at work. I'm not worried at all because I know I'll do perfectly well there. But because I'm too excited I can't sleep right now.


I had plan everything that I need to do tomorrow from morning till night but I still get so nervous. Hoping for the best to come tomorrow!


Gonna find something to do now~

I just don't understand her

I find her quite funny, she read my status and comment about it, and then when I talk back and she gotten not happy bout it. It's fine to me, but then I delete all the comment and she gotten mad at me. Is it wrong deleting comments? I really don't know that's something like that. Pfft.

No matter what is it, it's so wrong to insult other people. I thought after so long, after all the hassle and dramas we could go on with our lives perfectly. But I guess it's just my own thinking, because she's not showing it. Whenever I be a little bit aggressive and she get so upset bout it, but when she does the same thing she never realize it. Sigh.

Said to be friends again, shake our hands and move on, but in fact she don't. What I did I get myself into. Oh God.

Giggles

Do you still remember back in the days when you had a crush on someone so strong that you can't stay a second not looking at his/her picture? I still remember this girl that I had a crush on her back in the days where I was still naive, young and innocent.

I still remember this girl back in the days where I decided to stay at my buddy's house for couple of days spending time with him and do all sort of stupid things that we thought of. Later do I know that his sister brought back a friend to stay at her house too and there we spent some time together. Everything seems like it's planned by God.

We did a lot of stuff together, going to different places to have our breakfast, lunch and dinner, archery, indian street (Ipoh), chat, etc... Memories! It feels like yesterday!

I just knew her for about a day or two and I find myself having a crush on her, I felt stupid but I choose to go along with it because I seriously like her a lot. I try to stay around her sight hoping that she would notice my presence and would talk to me, stick around with her so to make her feel that I'm someone that she could rely on, be mature and try my best to protect her where ever we go.

I remember every little thing that happen during the time, and we took sticker photo together with my buddy and her. Back then my life seems to be really full of hope and love!

We went to Indian street in Ipoh while she hope to look for a nice Sari, and my buddy and her sister went to see some other stuff and so I have to stay outside her changing room (just a thin layer of cloth) to prevent people peek on her. Just for your information, I did not peek too, because to me I feel that if you like a girl really much you would do everything that you can to protect her, not harm, degrade or hurt her.

After she changed and when she came out from the changing room, I was stunned and impressed. I never saw anything so beautiful and pretty like her. I can't take my eyes off her at the time. She asked, how do I look? I just replied "Beautiful".

The best thing that ever happened to me back then is when she hold on to my arms and walk together, there she asked me "would you be my boyfriend for the day?" I was so surprised and happy at the same time! I told her "Yes of course, why not?" In my heart, I hope that this day will never end. I wish to be boyfriend for tomorrow, day after tomorrow and forever.

Time passes really fast, she have to go back to her University and I have to returned back to my house. There we stopped contacting each other. (I was too young to owned a phone, no friendster, msn, facebook back then.) Because of no way for me to contact her, I decided to put the memories into my heart locked it and keep it aside. Soon I met Ivy and the box left unattended.

Lately when I clean my room, then I remember her. She had grown much pretty than I remember! Praise the Lord for His mighty work. God's creation indeed is beautiful and perfect! I added her on facebook but she haven't approved it and I can't find a way to chat with her. I doubt that she actually remembers me. Hopefully she will and we can keep in touch again. I really miss her. ^^

Grandpa Birthday!

Today is my grandpa birthday! I don't really know how old is he because nobody tells me that, but I'm sure that he is really old but still in a good shape! More birthday in the future for him!

My uncle and grandpa! My grandpa don't really take much photo with us somehow. Maybe nobody actually ask for a picture with him. I wanted to snap a picture with him, but they were too busy chatting and stuff. Maybe next time!

And so we head to Marpoh Chinese restaurant in Ipoh garden. The food there is so so to me, not really something special but it's just OK. The dinner doesn't really matters, the celebration is.

Dish no.1

Dish no.2

Dish no.3

Dish no.4

We actually ordered 7 dishes, but since everyone is so hungry, I didn't get a chance to snap picture of the food and they already start eating. ^^

After the dinner we go back to grandpa house to have his cake cut! It's not any ordinary cake that we buy from bakery shop, my aunty decide to bake it herself. Meaningful!

My grandpa and his cake! God bless my grandpa!

Memories

Mommy have been bugging me for the past few days to clean up my wardrobe so she can fully utilize it when I'm not around. Well most probably I'm not around that's why she want to use that to put her clothes. After couple of days getting nag and so I decided to clean it up, it was the best moment ever!


Why? Because I found all those memories that was so precious to me! I enjoy each moment of it and I miss it I must say.

Lion King T-shirt! I remember when I was young I love it tons, but it's so old the shirt even turn slightly yellowish. It's so small!

My Jurassic Park shirt! I miss it! Me and my brothers love Jurassic park so much and we decided to get it and we also bought the toys for it! Not 1 or 2 but a whole bag full of it. Unfortunately the toys are gone as time passes by. Aww....

All these medals are what I accomplished during my high school days! I know it's not that much but it's all that I have! Basketball, high jump, football and running. Ever since I graduated, I never win any medals. Hm.

Lompat Tinggi Ting. 4 & 5, JOHAN! Lol! Seriously I was 2 times champion in a row and nobody in school manage to overtake me, that's how high I can jump! Too bad Ting. 3 I didn't manage to join because I'm sick! Or else 3 years in a row! Undisputed! 

Sam Tet wanted me to join MSSPK, and I did, I got my ass kicked damn bad! LOL!

We are the champion my friend, we keep on fighting till the end!

Do you know whose autograph is this? SLIPKNOT, brothers! I was there 2005 Slipknot Asia Tour! Me and couple of my buddies rushed to Singapore to meet them, and lucky we are, we got to meet them face to face! It was awesome!!!!!! Joey Jordison is so petite! I feel like hugging him so so much! He is about 1'6 I guess. Clown and Chris was big, they are like giant and we are like midgets to them! And yeah, we sneak into backstage and saw them unmasked! Teehee! What a trip!

This bottle full of stars is not an ordinary bottle to me. When I was dating Ivy, she decided to fold a thousands stars by herself because she told me that self fold stars it's very meaningful and you may wish upon the stars so that your dreams may come true. Even till now, the feeling is so sweet in my heart even though we didn't end up together now but still I wish the best for her in life. ^^

Oh yeah, she told me that there's a message in each of the stars that she folded! I was so impressed! But I'm not willing to open the stars to see her message because I don't know how to fold it back and it will be different from the original. So I will keep it as a mystery till the day I enter the grave.

Oh My God! I can't believe I found this picture! Do I look like Nobita? I seriously think that I look like him! if I'm not mistaken, I should be around 13 years old, I can't even wear the tie properly. LOL. Memories~ 

Regardless of the memories are sweet or sour, it will forever be memories inside our heart. I really miss those days where I can act recklessly, irresponsible and according to how I felt. But time changed, I changed too. Whatever happen in the past will always be a part of me. I certainly miss it.

Kampai @ Ipoh

Just had a great dinner at Kampai at Ipoh. Even though the restaurant located at the best place possible, but still because of the food is nice, people will not hesitate to go there for dinner. This restaurant was established back in the 90s and it's still amazing!

Picture taken from wikistreetfood.com

It's quite a nice place to have dinner. The interior is comfortable and stylish. Definitely a place that's great for hanging out.

This is a beef bento set. It cost almost around RM30 per set, included salad, miso soup and desert. Totally worth it.

On the left is chicken bento set.

This is a sashimi set, I don't know what is the fish but it certainly taste awesome. It cost around RM39.95.

Do you wear a mask

Spending the past few years busy making with friends willingly and unwillingly, some I called it as friend and some I called it as "friend". We live in this society where human can't live alone, we must go out to make friends and find a companion but the truth is, the world is dangerous.

I don't know about you, but I was born in a small village back then where all the kids come together cycling, badminton, lepak and do everything together. We are decent and innocent. We never have any agenda or motive when we make friends simply because it's fun. As I grow up, I start to realized that not everyone  share the same concept as I do.

College was the time that really changed my mindset towards friendship. Whenever I meet any new friend, I would gave out my heart for them but how many of them would actually appreciate it? Not much. During college, I met people to use each other, ignorance people, annoying people and little bit of nice people. Behind all of them, they actually wear an invincible mask.

This invincible mask is horrifying! They cover up themselves really good I must say. Some may act really good in front of you and back-stabbed you while you don't even notice it. And some when they accomplished what they need from you, they'll kick you out from their sight. Common.

What I learnt these few years, never trust anyone easily until you know that person inside out. Never simply pour out your feelings, complains, anger and opinion because it will be used against you. Be smart!

But of course there will be someone decent enough to cover your back when you in need. Those are your buddy or bff. Hold onto them tightly, you don't want to lose it. It's so precious that you will regret in the future!

To those fakers, just remember to talk crap and play along with them because nothing comes out from their mouth is real. It's like keeping a rat in your house knowing that it will eat your food.

Be careful

I enjoy writing my blog because that's my personal space to express my thoughts and feelings, however since everyone got a chance to read what you had in mind, some may like it some may not. Those who like it will stay and for those who dislike it, they will use it against you.

Again, somebody come up to me and told me that somebody is not happy with what I wrote on my blog and they mind about it, they are unhappy of it. Do I seriously care? Obviously not. What I wrote is all on my personal perspective, how I look the issues. But sometimes people have to mind about all these and they got offended and post shoutout. Is that necessary?

Like I said, it's all my perspective, if you can't take it then probably you shouldn't read it. What's with all the dramas? By the way, I do not like to create topic that does not exist. Everything I said it here is based on what I saw, encounter and experienced. Grow up and take critics like a man.

Single and available

My aunty and uncle is back from Shah Alam, the most asked question is going to be "where's your gf?" Oh man, I hate it when people always ask me this question. But yeah, I'm single and available. I'm only 24 this year, not really that desperate to have a partner although my mom said that if I'm lucky enough, I would be a daddy by now.

I hope that none of my aunty and uncle would ever think of arranging blind date for me. It would really be embarrassing I think especially for youngster nowadays. But since my family is so modern, I bet they won't. Haha. At least I hope they won't.

To me, relationship emphasize a lot a lot on feelings for that person, not just like or love, it's more than that. At times, I feel that relationship works very very funny. When you actually like a person, it always turn out that he/she is no interested at you, no matter how many efforts and hard works it means nothing to her. Better off just stay back.

But, by the moment that you wish that you were never wanted to know this person, then he/she would come to you and very close to you and ultimately gives you a wrong indication, and you will screw things up. Boy girls relationship is very much about the timing and the right person. Have you found the right one? Me certainly not, because they won't give me a chance. LOL. Too bad.

I guess I won't scrap the title "Single" till I'm 26 or after that. I focus on myself pretty much, I worry that I do not have enough time for her and another person come in the picture and the past will repeat. I hate it.

I guess to be my partner, she have to be very reasonable and understanding. Asian? Westerner? I have no idea, let it flow. Whoever it is, let it be the right one!

Underoath gone Illuminati?

I'm not a big fan of Underoath, I like their music but not so much. In late 2010, they release their "Disambiguation" and I think their music is not bad. But I got shocked after they officially release MV for "Paper Lung" because it's full of element of Illuminati.

Why I am disturbed? Underoath is well known for their Christian Metal Band background and all of their music is meaningful and it's very inspiring. But why Illuminati? Illuminati got Underoath?

http://underthegunreview.net/2011/04/30/underoath-and-director-deny-affiliation-with-illuminati/

Read the article to find out what they think.

The band members thinks that it's cool to have those symbols and so they tag along. What?! Cool and tag along? Don't they know what it means? How could a Christian Metal Band tag along with Illuminati? I just don't get it. Is it another kind of promotion for Underoath? Too much question to ponder, too less answer were given.

At least the fans did oppose to it and were unhappy with them, but still Underoath decide to go on what they are doing. Currently their having "IlluminaTour" kinda disturbing to me. But that's what they want and how they want it to be, wish them good luck.

Underoath won't be the same again.

Great dinner

Coming back to Ipoh is the best time for me to have great great food! Eat like nobody business and just chill!

Before I start to eat, man I can literally feel my stomach is growling and telling me that it's time to feast! This place is somewhere around Tasek, it's a new branch there and according to my mom, the food is nice, so we went there!

Ta-Da! We ordered 6 dishes in total! We had pork, chicken, veges and tofu! I can't use any nice word to describe it, bottom line, the food was awesome! Ipoh! Woots!

Look at the meat! It's so juicy and tender! Muaks! Finger lickin' good!

We finish everything in half an hour time, quite fast for so many dishes! I love it!

Birthday update

Last week was my birthday, it was a good one in my opinion. Everything went perfect, received gift from my beloved cell group members. I wanted to spend money to buy a badminton shoe for myself and they decided to bless me the amount. I'm really really glad and appreciate my cell group members. You guys are the best.

So during the celebration, the core members took me and May Shen to Zan Mai @ Sunway Pyramid for dinner, it was a nice one because they know that both of us love sushi a lot. To me that was the perfect gift for both of us.

This envelope was draw by Jun. I always love her drawing of text! It's simply amazing. Love it tons! She drew for many of us in each members birthday but still I never get sick of watching it. It's so captivating!

And here's the RM100 from my members. Thanks guys!

To make everything OK, I would love to take this opportunity to thanks Chelsea, Jun and Carmen sacrificing their time and effort to make all these work even though they are all having final year project or final examinations. I appreciate it a lot. And of course my other members in cell group who celebrated my birthday and heart touching speech. Hope to spend more time with you all in future!
