...hokkaido trip...

...off to hokkaido from 1-oct-08 till 8-oct-08. take care of yourself k...

...again!...

...what are the chances of being slap twice in a row? i want to make peace...

talking about the people who made your day...geeze things can go so unpredictable anytime. sam fu kap. kap hei. fu hei. and we must learn to fong pei. when a joke is meant to be a joke and when a person is not in the mood for your joke and then you gotta understand and realise for the fact that there is anger arising then there is no more joke. respect the person. be aware of the happenings make sure you know when to stop. i am still not sleeping yet. cant sleep actually still thinking of the stupid joke and still packing. not excited at all to go japan again for the second time. the feeling is like duh i get to use my passport again. i mean i have been so blessed to be able to go japan again; looking at my situation japan is not the again kind of place due to so many barriers, but yea, again.

probably the only thing i would look forward to is talking to a colleague to catch up a storm about my future investments; in which he has alot to offer in terms of opportunities. wakakaz. other than that, its more of taking pictures and shooting all the way; scenery is nice according to people but not my type pf photography anyway. and i feel uncomfortable leaving ky and his stress behind and not being there to support in anyway possible. yea, again i am leaving this dearest fried of mine at this again most crucial time. i am leaving with a heavy heart...

...sam fu kap...

...you know everyday there is someone who will make your day. some brings you lots of happy moments, some makes your life so miserable. some will do small little things that makes you happy. yesterday i was having a hell time working my ass off but towards dinner things changed for a better. and today, success really made my day. i am laughing already. sam fu kap. kap hei. fu hei. now can fong pei. wakakakz. dem farnee. thank you success. you sure bring lots of success...

i find those little creature dem exciting and farnee. imagine seeing it on my tshirt that spells sam fu kap. kap hei. fu hei. then fong pei

...all things i want...

...a bored sunday turns out to be a great shopping day. not shopping for clothes or food or toiletries but a very internet savvy shopping day. one whole afternoon oogling at the things they sell in lowyat and sg wang. so many things i want to get and so many products out there that i really want to get. waliao, i dem delay no more. i see, i like, i buy. at lowyat bought a philips headphone and a cf card. i saw so many more things i want to buy. arghh. si beh tak boleh tahan leh. hands itchy. then paid back success one thousand over for the lens. si beh pokai liao. then later in the evening went over to ikano walioa. so many things i want to get for myself. suddenly the world of IT become so yau yeng. i began to fall back inlove with IT. now with more enabling virtues to play with. beh tahan liao.

...arghh...

...dnd appreciation dinner. wakakaz. abit dull ler. cos stuck in the jam for hours just to get to destination. right leg pain; too much clutching. two tables of people. incovar and d2y. about fifteen people pertable. food so so. nothing spectacular. abit tired also ler. sitting far away from usual gang. all we did was eat eat and eat. finished so early dinner and dunno what to do. aiks. headed home and slept early. wondering if we have post mortem for dnd or not and the followup action. si beh sienz le!

then the following morning my throat jialat liao. feverish and sorethroat. sakit. pain. tidur and wake up and tidur and wake up. then was so so close to skipping bowling adi one; but then okla. go la. kick my blardy ass out of bed, shower and then drove to one u. si beh jam the whole dem road. ss2 jam. turning to ldp jam. going into one u carpark jam. find parking lot also jam. so i went directly to the top most floor and voila. gold mine. all empty. parked next to the entrance to sri pentas somemore and then walked all the way to the other end; bowling centre. was dragging my feet and pushing myself one step at a time. reached there and they just got started. ow brothers team with jo and shal were great. kenny's team with hooi's sisters and weeyang were farnee. the rest were just normal i guess; with many trying to show off their skills and spin the ball and those hand action thingy and yet cannot score more than 100. dem embarassing if they knw they were being watched like that man. i think abit duh!

ow brothers got first prize while kenny's team got second; wakakakz monopolised by the incovarian gang! still havent have anything in my stomach; i persisted to walk around after the bowling and do some shopping. still feeling hungry and loving the feeling; i reached home and made myelf a nice bowl of maggi mee!... arghh...

...gulpz...

...msn chat buddy, music appreciation buddy, camera buddy, photography tips buddy, a good friend, a wonderful companion. gulpz. terswallow saliva pulak. when i look at this picture. i sure laugh kao-kao one. cos its like, oops. terswallow saliva. and eventually the chat become farnee. wakakaz...

...exhilarating moment...

...i've not have such exhilarating feeling in the morning for almost ten years.

complete all questions. keep quiet. dont copy. silence please. put away your books.

those were the words that i have not heard is years. and gosh, i relived those memories again thanks to the modern day technology. my hands were shaking. heart throbbing. mind sweating. cham lor i dunno the answer ler. how arr. nola. i know the answer ler. but i am so glad to relive those moments. awesome. can we do that again?...

...tight slap...

...1.01am and i got a tight slap on my face and seriously it did not hurt because i deserve it. i accepted the pain, acknowledged the soreness understood the aching message that comes with it. i am truly grateful to have it hit hard on my face...

...i bet you cant...

...these days i involve myself alot in bettings. we bet alot of stuff; lately it is about the simplest thing we can think of. bettings have become such an integral part of our lives that somehow i enjoy placing a bet on something. of course the bet has got to be something interesting; in which every single item we put on the table; that we can think of to bet, is of worthy to bet. wakakaz. its so interesting to find out who won the bet. sometimes, i cant wait to find out if i have won the bet. the feeling of kancheong leads to more bets. its pretty interesting how this little game works. it starts off with one side of the party asking for a bet and in the bet, must always have one party to choose one side of the coin. and the beh tahan feeling and waiting for the results is the killer part. phew, sometimes i lose, heck i have lost the bet almost all the time i guess. and i must win the next one. wakakaz. and let the BET begin...

...celebrating simplicity...

...when a fren invited me to his wedding dinner, i wanted to say yes, but somehow some voice behind me told me to hold on the thought. i didnt really knew where the voice came from. so i hesitated with the yes. somehow along the line, it just dawned on me that; heck its dan's 21st birthday also. and then i knew why i didnt say yes. of course with that in mind, and with not much of a party planner, i only thought of a simple meaningful dinner. so dinner place was only decided as we were walking in mv after a long shopping spree.

though i missed the wedding, but i think the birthday dinner meant alot more. simple dinner, no cakes no singing no grand opening. just quality chat. tostada chips and guava juice and mango juices accompanied till the very minute the clock strike twelve and all the way till wee hours and got shooed out from the restaurant. i truly enjoyed the simple things in life. since the hour is so early we decided to cramp over at the apartment; managed to get a short rest before departing to malacca for a funeral.

tired, restless and unshaved, we headed for malacca to attend a funeral. chanting and singing hymns was what we did and then i somehow understand about how we should treasure the simple things in life; treasuring the people beside us appreciating the moments. after the funeral we went rounding in malacca; from eating to shopping and of course photography session. i have two really great models. jyon modelling agency. back in action. my two models looks really stunning on camera. and the camera loves them too. handsome faces and pretty looks curvy body with sharp features; i love my models. wakakaz.

my weekend was just simple. exhausted though, but seemingly beautiful. i got to spend wonderful time with my anak and celebrated a wonderful birthday...

...double two one...

...it was a triple play order for the three of us. triple play was the main course and chicken crispers accompanied us throughout. we added spaghetti to make it more complete and later chatted all nite with tostada chips and glasses after glasses of juice to quench the thirst. it a great dinner have chilies drowing our throat and cold heines that did not come with it. a quiet dinner with dn and ty; having some quality time talking to both of them. it is a nite i will remember; dn's 21st birthday. the path to the golden key apparently. dn didnt want to be the standing on the chair and being sung the famous melody of happy birthday so we decided to do him a favour by asking ty to sing him a song. no cakes for this birthday boy. wakakaz. the strike of twelve, our friend become so busy with his phone and started to reply the messages one after another. looking at him type sms, it reminded me of days i celebrated my 21st birthday in upm during my first year in uni. anyway, happy 21st birthday dn. a present of a mirror is to show you the past great and wonderful deeds you have done, provides a beautiful pathway to move towards and living the conscious now. you will find your key to open all doors...

...apology...

...somehow i felt that i need to do this. and please find a place in your heart to forgive if my actions have caused some misinterpreted information. so, this is an apology blog. i am sorry if i have done anything that mislead you. and this is an sincere apology from me...

...astonishing dining...

...salmon fettucine topped with cheese and freshly chopped salmon and the aroma of the carobonara sauce, chicken italianes that comes with wedges and basil leaves topped with wonderful aroma of herbs and a cold heines. simply astonishing nite to celebrate. many many best wishes. dinner was great...

...significant sept sixteen...

...exactly 2 years ago; today in history. very significant day as so many things happened.

unlucky : cancelled my holiday to bangkok. so sad. lucky : the very same day news reported military tanks were found meronda-ronda the streets of bangkok. so travelled to penang instead. lucky : get to attend the eob2; featuring i.gemz. but mana tau, i.gemz started singing at about 10pm. unlucky : we did not get our video publicity as promised by the organizersand what the heck, we did not have any airtime at all. lucky : had a great time in penang despite the minor glitches. i.gemz was celebrated at some club house. same time, ty's birthday was celebrated then too. yea, i remember. unlucky : driving home; half way got a message from a friend saying that the father passed away. i was so shocked. i dunno what to do and i was driving. and i was crying inside. i was not there to accompany him and he is my best friend!

this day brings back alot of emotions. thousands of needles poking in your heart and tonnes of feelings pouring out. i dunno why but somehow this september sixteen seems to be so significant and its ty's birthday too.

the road leading to somewhere will eventually brings us there; that is the nowhere...

...view of north south expressway just after gua tempurung area...

...rawking penang...

...somehow i was trying to post up something about my famous merdeka day celebration this year but ended up tied with dnd. wakakaz.

it was a last minute decision to take a ride up to penang to check out some places for the upcoming camp. took a long chatterboxy ride with ky and kp. very tiring cos talk too much throughout the whole journey. arrived in penang late. coincidently two of my sons are there too, back to hometown. why not. call them up to have a fun time in penang. indeed it was really a short exhilirating day in penang. with a short 18 minutes sleepover at jayson's place, listening to a hokkien dhammatalk, dana early sunday morning, and an hour tidur at tzayeong's house and hanging out at ty's house and running here and there to check out places for the camp, checked out 3 places for camps, eating everywhere. supper till 330 in the morning. chunghwa came all the way from mainland to join us till next morning. ty on his bike in the rain (poor thing), waking up early for dimsum breakfast and witnessing 6 fireworks all at the same time in one location; for the merdeka day celebration. spending quality time with the gang and hanging out till the wee hours and riding a bike, touring penang like i was 20 years old, spending time tasting real homecooked food right from the wok, snapping pictures, mat rempitting all nite and partaying all nite. wah seh. my very yau yeng trip to penang. the last i was there, i got lost looking for the hotel and drove round and round 5 times!

seriously, when was the last time i had tasted so much freedom?

...nite view of penang from the top of the hill during merdeka...

...happy birthday...

...special birthday dedication on this wonderful september sixteen to ty...

...breaking convention...

...they came up with another one...

breaking convention beyond incovation

...crossroads of orange sky...

...finally this weekend, i gotta spend more time with my bed. lying around. sleeping late. listening to music. and updating my blog. i was reading thru my past memories and joyful events of yesterdays. there are just so many things that i have went thru. my nine years of love affair with iitc and my twelve years dedication to incovar. heck the blog is about my life involvement in both of these areas.

i have left iitc for almost 1 year. and heck, since the day i left, there is no single post (ok maybe one or two posts) about my life in this new company. previously my whole blog was about bitching and farting nonsensical stuff about the environment i work with; also lots of cheering and laughing moments too. heck now, i almost never write anything about my new company. maybe there is nothing special to write about. or maybe the whole place has nothing to bitch about. or maybe the place is jus too dem boring to talk about. i dunno. its not that it is a boring place to work with. but one thing for sure, i made a wish that i want to work in an office with a lift. and i got my wish. ok, maybe i will start writing about my new life in this new company. urgh, there are just so many things i hated here. but somehow my vision are just orange litted sky with high tension cables in the crossroads. not dark yet, still bright. just hanging around...

...dreams sees us thru...

...almost all my songs collection are chinese songs. when i open up my mp3 folder, it is basically guang liang or nicholas teo or lin yu zhong or jolin. whenever i feel the environment is getting noisy, i will blast my nicholasteo to the max to cut out the noises from outside. and i will feel more peaceful within. so, the heck with my lifestyle. what am i doing with music anyway? until ky's son shared a pretty interesting piece of news with me : there are lots of really interesting songs with very meaningful lyrics out there. and they are all english songs. from then he has been sharing lots of english songs with me; the songs are totally touching; especially when you raise me up, i was totally absorbed into it and the duh teary eye me start to think back memories. but there is one song that never fails to bring me to bucket of tears! and how did that song made me react this way? heck not many ppl know about my secret. please dont play that song infront of me or... and that is also the song that brought life to this blog..dreams see us thru to forever...

...XD...

...teary eye, wonderful nite...

...INCOVAR very first dinner&dance. i still couldnt believe that we pulled it off. totally awesome. first ever dinner and dance organized. celebrating 22 years of inspirational friendship. meeting so many friends from all era. with our very own datuk dr victor wee, former sec gen of min of tourism gracing the event, wei chuan beng the founder and group managing director of REDtone international berhad with us that nite and sharing a wonderful chat with them was indeed an honour. and with i.gemz and d2y connecting everyone with their melody of friendship truly inspires all.

when emcee asked who were from the 1IDC to 10IDC? yea, i was there. the emcee asked again, who were from 11IDC to 20IDC? i was there too. heck we organized IDC 20th camp anniversary with a beautifully printed inspiration mag. and the emcee asked again who were from the 21IDC to current; 29IDC. and i was there too. woah. i was in all the eras. being there; organizing the event; putting up posters of the history, meeting with incovarians from the 1st era to the 2nd era and be part of them in the 3rd era; going strongly to the 4th era now. and heck, i am and i will still go strong.

on 20IDC i was given the award for lifetime achivemennt in INCOVAR. now 9 camps later; i was given the award for my outstanding achievement in spiritual youth development and also known as the father of modernization for INCOVAR. wakakz. i suddenly had a emotional burst during the dinner. tears started flowing down my cheek; remembering the great memories of great wonderful friends of all the 22 camps that i have attended and be part of. INCOVAR made all the difference. yes indeed. it made all the difference.

with the 30IDC committee on stage making inspiration work; defining beyond incovation i felt extremely wonderful to be there to give them the award of being the group of people who are able to create inspiration and enrich lives. they are the ones who will be able to make things happen beyond incovation. and the appreciation for MEtzteam and having all 3 of them on stage together spells achievements in them. at that moment, i feel so proud of them and their great feat in producing unique videos of emotions and feelings makes my emo-self eye go watery. the music compilation alone is fantastic. i am glad i am still hanging around.

to all that have made the DnD truly a nite to remember, all the INCOVAR committees, and especially to nineBugz, thank you from the bottom of our hearts...
