What Is Important?

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 22:58:00 -0400

I was in late shift yesterday. Feels like long time since my the last time I came in late.

I witness something that emotional yesterday nite. A fellow colleague stayed back as well, he receives a call from his family.

A video call, with his little daughter wanted to say hi. Mommy was teaching the daughter to talk and asking what time daddy will be home?

The father just smiles and unable to give an answer to her….

I finish my work and left at about 8.30pm, I was told he often stays back late. I feel this is very depressing probably he be maybe used to it but is not right.

Technology brought us closer…I would say screw the technology. What we need a the real warmth. Isnt it better if the father can be home for dinner, and able to tug in his daughter to bed?

We often miss out on things that is important. Let us remind ourselves not to leave our family behind. I need to remind myself to, I am still working after I am home.

Emotional Imbalance

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 07:31:00 -0400

How much imbalance can you get? You can be lively in the day and down as the sunset. I am seeking to balance it or rather eliminate the bad. I find that my days are not normal, usually is between the good and bad.

The good days will see me smiling non stop, cracking jokes around and teasing my friends (only those that i am familiar i will do that).

Bad day will see me in deep thought, day dreaming, no direction just wanna get through the day and go home sleep (this also happens when i dont get enough sleep).

I know some people who can be good all the time, well 90% of the time. A simple thing such as food would make them good for the day. Some just lousy jokes would make their day. Can it be that simple, can i be that simple? I believe i am a simple person, i dont demand. Why often things turn out bad when all you wanted is just a simple thing?

Hmmmm

Hmmm...i am missing again. This time is even more worse as i've forgotten the password to my account. I guess i am not a blog person.

A lot had happened, i do carry some notes around trying to make a point to update them here when i have time. Pass few months and even now, life been pretty exhausted. Work exhaustion, somehow i feel this is where i am suppose to be focusing rather than wasting my emotion.

Consider the 'Cheng Beng' day for Japanese. I decided to go hoping to capture photos of kids in Kimono, but i was afraid to point my camera at the kids. SLR seen every where too, my mini kit lens doesnt have a place there also i forgot to charge my camera.

Delicate Japanese dancers.

I walked in the field and i spotted the Cheah Family stall. I must admit, i've been avoiding them this few years. Everyone greeted me, both grandpa and grandma very delighted to see me. Grandma even invite me to the house, now i am very ashamed of myself for avoiding them :unsure:

I joined my friends to play games and snap around. Not really in the mood as the place is very warm, i feel tired too. But we did wait till the showcase of fireworks which i was saving my batt and manage to snap 300 pics :lol:

An Inner Transformation

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:45:00 -0400

Why? I've been trying to be creative for quite some time. Initial plan was to paint it, lucky i did not pick up my paint brush. The wall decals are much easier.

The transformation process:

1. Buying the wall decals

Me and Yuetz spent bout an hour at the stall selecting the design which i ended up with the Dandelion coz my initial plan was to paint a design like this

I love the blue Dandelion and decided to paint a wall that matches the Dandelion

2. Prototype

Selecting the color was a headache, i tried pink, purple and yellow. All look nice but finalize with pink as i wanted the blue to stand out.

3. Painting

It wasnt easy as i need to cover up my checkered blue and grey color. It takes 3 or even more layer to get it covered. I dont think i did a good job for the painting but lesson learned.

4. Decals up

I cut out the pieces and tape it to the wall, i adjusted the design like gazillion times. Snap some photos and asked few friends for advice even took my colleague to my house to get their opinion.

5. Final result

Finally done

I do miss my first attempt of checkered design.

Should I Give Up?

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 09:39:00 -0400

I was awake at 4am disturbed by the pain which i never thought i'll endure again. I thought of what i've done that could caused it but what i've been through last few days maybe exhausted but i love to do it again. With that thought fear strikes me that i may have to give up things i love to do and my dream.

For whole night i questioned myself if i could bear the pain and go on to take the challenge of life or live a comfortable environment for the rest of my life? This question remain unanswered but the pain is gone now.

Missing Me

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 09:29:00 -0400

I've been ignoring my page for last few months and Cheryl has been reminding me to update it but i kept delaying. I have my reasons but i dont really like to explain :tongue:. I'll update along the missing events, i do record it down but just cant find time to get everything together.

Good bye Oscar

I remember you first arrived, you were swimming excitedly around your new home. I was very worry you couldn’t survive in this new home and spent hours watching you guys swim around the bowl. Months over you still survived and growing surpass Blackie, I was relieved.

Month before your dismiss, I hold you and I can feel your body is cold. I started to worry again, I watched helplessly as you swim wearily. I prayed you would get over whatever sickness you have and be my energetic pet again but in the end you left me. I am sorry I couldn’t take good care of you, I wish I know whats wrong with you and could nurse you. RIP my dear Oscar.

KL Trip - Music Man Concert

Sat, 02 May 2009 21:04:00 -0400

Exciting day for me:D Music Man concert:lol:.

Woke up at 6am and waited for Lay Cheng to fetch me. We (Lay Cheng, Yuet Ling, Janice and Camilia) drove down for the concert. Well, at least four of us going for the concert. Yuet Ling is more of food. The whole trip to Ipoh, she hard sell Ipoh char siew pau and all the dim sum. She made me very hungry :tongue:

Reached KL at noon, we went to fetch Yuet Ling's sister then check in to Cititel Express. Nice spacious room but the surrounding doesn't look safe for a girl to stay here. We had problem finding Jln Tunku Abdul Rahman too as I am not familiar with this area. Our room pretty nice, facing Petronas Twin tower, night view was cool.

For dinner, we head to Puchong to have Korean food and Summer joined us as well. I love the bbq.

The Concert

Awesome, first ever Lee Hom concert with a story board highlighted at the big digital screen. I was telling Carol, how nice to have such big LCD screen at home..haha. The concert is different from his previous concerts which usually highlight his instruments but this time, we had that thrill addon storyboard and a very fascinating display of lights.
