As busy as a bee

I was really busy lately and therefore this blog is lying silently.

Weekdays, was really tired after came back from work. The whole day in office, working, working n working. Ask me, what do u do? So much work meh? Haha, yes. Sekejap ini, sekejap itu... coding, scheduling, documenting, emailing, bla bla bla... all requires high attention. If u r not careful and did something wrongly, kena M16 shoothing. hahaha!

Weekends, take care of bb lor. Don't be surprised that with a bb at home, she can keep me busy for the whole day. Milk time, shower time, poo poo time, change diapers time and most of the time 'pau pau'! hahahahaha! but now weekends is full of fun...

Nowadays, once I lie down I will be asleep immediately...

Put yourself in someone else's shoes

The above phrase... how many of us do apply this in our daily life? I tried to... Every time when something happens, I will try not to jump to conclusion and blame on anyone. I tried to think that probably there could be many reasons that certain wrong doings or decision made which cause s unhappiness.

However, sometimes i wondered how many of us that really do that? I think most people are very selfish and take care of their own needs or satisfaction. At times, I really get frustrated... why I need to understand how people achieve certain decision or action and yet nobody understands me.

I guess, to certain extend I can apply this but not all the time. Hahaha!

Petrol price increase!

Yes, it's true. I was anxiously waiting for the new price as on Tuesday there was a news saying that the PM will announce the new petrol subsidise scheme today. Well, at last by 6pm I got the news... RM2.70 per litre. That is 78 cents of increase, 40% increment. WOW! This is a very big difference for us.... normally we pump RM60 for full tank, and now we need to pump almost RM90. With this, it will definitely be a chain effect. Cost of living will increase as all the business wants to make more $ with the rising cost.

On my way back, the radio DJs are all discussing this topic. I guess once everyone knew this, the first thing to do is heading to the gas station to have their car pump in full tank. With heavy rain this evening, and queues on gas stations... it was really a terrible jam!

I even got some sms from friends asking me to go grab some groceries before price increase. Also, I think they are worried if there will be protest in town and it would not be safe for us to go out. I hope the situation will not be that bad.

Oh boss... can I have 30% increment? pls pls pls... haha!

Am I tired?

YES! I am extremely tired. Probably due to lack of good rest for the past few weeks... Everyday, I would just hope that I have a little longer time to sleep. Due to this, my mind has become slow and not able to response fast. Haha, this will be the best time to cheat me ya!

Life and Death

Life is always ended with death, but different people will be fated to end their life differently. Death could be due to old age, sickness, accident or even suicide. Eventhough we know that one final day we will die, we still feel fear to death, aren't we? Yes. With multiple encounter of my close family members that get to know about their illness and walking towards the end of their journey, they have fear. Feeling lost and confused, how are they suppose to face the fact that their life is almost towards the end, how long? They do not know.

Battling with critical illness is really not easy. Easy to be uttered in words that they have to be strong, look at things at the positive side, and rest more. The pain they suffer, the discomfort when they are admitted and all the needle poking they need to go through to diagnose the illness, nobody will understand. Emotion is unstable and lots of questions pops up in mind, 'Why me??', 'What causes this disease', etc... Instead of asking why, what, how, we should try to strengthen our mind and cooperate with doctor for treatment plans. I know it is hard, but as long as there is a survival chance, we should try.

Life is short, anything can happen when you wake up in the next morning. Something that might change your entire life. So, do care for your health so that you will be able to live longer with your loved ones and appreciate each and everyone around you as you wouldn't know how much time you will have with them.

For those who are still single, love yourself so that you can take care of your parents. For those who are married, love yourself so that you can take care of your parents, other half and also your young ones (if you have any).

Election 2008

For the past few weeks, this is the hottest topic being discussed by the whole nation including myself. I was on the confinement period and was following up the election campaign or news from newspaper and tv only. Did not have the chance to be out there and look at the posters and other interesting stuff that the people did for campaigning for their party.

Well, this year I did cast my vote and even got the chance to meet and shake hand with Datuk Sharizat contestant for Lembah Pantai at the election center. So coincident that she was there... Was quite excited with this year's election as the results were really unexpected which they called it political tsunami.

2008 election has marked the Malaysia history as this is the biggest win for the oppositions, when they managed to conquer 5 states. Since they are given a very big chance this time, I hope they will perform well and bring changes that we will be happy with.

My Ah Beng neighbour

Suddenly feel like talking about my ah beng neighbour. Why I call him ah beng leh? Everytime I was at home, I heard him turned on his 'sound system' in his car so damn loud. Wah, he thought everyone like to listen to his music meh? So annoying... somemore hokkien song leh. Eventho I am hokkien lang, but I will listen the songs on my own lar, need to share with other people meh? He thought his sound system very keng leh, 'ping pang ping pang'.. want to show off lo, what else. aparah??? Like those VCD sellers ah beng, dye the hair gold color, smoking, modified the car until can fly...

Look at the definition that I get from Wikipedia:
Ah Beng is a term commonly given to a member of a group of young Chinese men in Southeast Asia, particularly Singapore and Malaysia. These Chinese men, whose age ranging from their early teens to late 20s, usually centralise in the busier and more developed cities in the region, but are usually seen as originating from smaller or more rural towns. Ah bengs typically speak local slang, which is Hokkien or Cantonese mixed with English and Malay, such as Manglish or Singlish. They are often stereotypically portrayed to be anti-intellectual, superficial and materialistic and shallow. These values often lead to a lack of culture or indulgence in criminal activity or being involved in brawling or affray out of disagreement with other people. Ah bengs are also sometimes associated with extensively-modified or zhng-ed cars, and are stereotypically seen as being excessively flashy and show-offs.
The term 'Ah Beng' is also sometimes used to describe young Chinese men in Southeast Asia who cannot speak fluent English and/or have graduated from the secular Chinese education system of the region.
