LOVE Theory

Many people like to talk about Love because they always think that they are very good in this topic. As there are no rules and regulations in Love, everyone can come out with their own Love's Theory. And with their own theory, they thought they are pro and like to give opinion or critise others. Some even worst that they can not come out with their Love's Theory then they ask other and take others as their own one. There are a lot of Love Theory and amazingly some are even contradicting. For instance, "Love is just unselfishly giving without asking for return"(爱只是付出，不要求回报). But sometimes, u can hear people say"If u love me, u must /should bla bla bla bla.."  =.=""

Yesterday, I saw an old couple talking and smiling to each other, holding each hand and walking on the street. The picture was so perfect and peace. I was thinking that why they can be so sweet until now? Perhaps they just fall in love. LOL. Sadly, our research show that the divorcing rate is increasing significantly as compare to older generation.

As the technology grow rapidly, people can easily connect to each other around the worlds. They like to post their sweet photo, wedding picture,lovely experience, honeymoon trip to "share" with other. Many will start to compare with these information."He is so handsome..","She got a slim body.","Their wedding are so grand...","They went to Paris for honeymoon".The worst part is Hong Kong and Korean series with handsome guy like Raymond Lum (林峯) holding a bouquet of rose standing beside a sport car and propose to a pretty girl. WTF! Unless I got Billionaire's father, otherwise is very hard for me to realise this. ( i still have to do plastic surgery :( )

My mum told me that when she dated with my dad 30 years ago, my dad fetched her with an old car to Tanah Merah (a small town in Kelantan). The road was so rocky but they still enjoyed the greenery, river, wooden house along the road. I believe the memory was so sweet for her that she still can remember until now and told me with full of joy. Without TV and facebook, they didn't know who and who got grand wedding, they didn't even care A and B went to Korea for honeymoon, they just had their fruits and coconut juice for their dating. Nowadays, many couple are rich in satisfaction of material enjoyment but poor in quality of love and weak in relationship bonding. Do you think with this assistance, they can account for long term relationship? Do you think their relationship can sustain at the end without those satisfaction?I am not sure. But for me, Love should be simple as just the feeling itself. Hahaha~~~ :p

Perhaps I am immature, perhaps my mind is still under developed, perhaps I don't want face the reality, perhaps I don't want to commit so much in love,  perhaps I am not ready for love, perhaps I am wrong but at least I know what I want. Well, this is my Love Theory. So do you have your own LOVE theory?

How sweet they are. This is nothing but a simple LOVE

HAYAKI : Another Food Paradise

HAYAKI CAFE

wonderful environment. Free WiFI.

HAYAKI, a newly cafe with variety of food has just open in Danau Kota, Setapak. It is just located beside Old Town White Coffee Cafe and near to My Mydin of Danau Kota. For your information, "HAYAKI" is a name from 3 sisters whose name are "Ha", "Ya" and "Ki". I believe you think this is funny right? But this is true. Please don't feel hesitate to ask the boss about this when you have a visit to Hayaki. Lol. According to the managing director, Chea Yin, all of the staffs are from Kelantan, no wonder they are so friendly and always serve you with their lovely smile.(Out of pure luck, I and Chea Yin are Kelantanese too,hiak hiak hiak)

Hakayi's Nasi Ulam is served with ikan goreng kunyit (deep fried fish, marinated in a base of turmeric and other seasonings), vegetables, herbaceous plants, edible wild plants, salted egg and my favorite "Budu" (a sauce that made from fermented fish in Kelantan). No surprise, I particularly love the ikan goreng kunyit, very succulent, goes very excellent with the rice and Budu. This is definitely a must-order!!

The Nasi Kerabu is almost the same with Nasi Ulam but the rice is in blue in colour because dyed by a kind of blue flower. Instead of fried fish, you can order the famous Ayam Percik (grilled chicken with spicy sauce in Kelantan) which is tender and juicy.Yummy!! There are some Keropok (fried cracker) together with ,which taste crispy and delicious too.

The last time i had my Manggo Pulut was in Kelantan some years ago. The experience was fantastic and I have been thinking of a repeat for this dish since. And thank God, Hayaki gave me this opportunity to taste it again! Manggo Pulut, a glutinous rice with coconut milk topping serve with fresh manggo. However, this dish is recommended to be shared as it is too greasy to finish alone. Due to some technical problem, the pulut was not soft enough  that day and the management had promised to seriously look into it. :)

I order Soya Jelly with Longan for my dessert. The combination of  jelly and longan is very refreshing, sweet and a bit exotic. Besides this, there are also variety of ice blended fruit juice too. I just wish I could have a bigger stomach. :(

There are a lot of foods like chicken chop, fried noodles, nasi dagang, bee hun siam, etc which are nice to be tried. Compared to some of the competitors as I accidentally mentioned above, the price at Hayaki is much more reasonable and as for food wise, the quality is there. If you’re looking for a relaxing place that also happen to serve more than decent meal, you definitely wouldn’t be disappointed at HAYAKI.

Address: 87-G, Platinum Walk, No 2, Jalan Langkawi, Setapak.

Decemb3r...

December is always the most exciting month for me. It means that Christmas is coming, new year is coming. Undeniable, December, the atmosphere of the festivals are much more stronger. Most of the big shopping malls in KL have already decorated their environment with Christmas theme. Even you can see a decorated Christmas tree in my office with some wrapped presents (empty boxes) under it. When think about Christmas, we will think about Santa Claus, Christmas tree, gifts, Christmas songs and carols, and the most important element - SNOW! Due to combination of these elements, human body will release certain hormones which will create a pleasurable feeling which is ROMANTIC. That why most of the people love Christmas very much unless you were dumped during Christmas or you are DNTBS (desperate-not-to-be-single).Lol, no offence. Besides that, research also show that most of the people lost their virginity in this "bloody" festival. (But not me. I lost mine during Ching Beng, Lol, kidding~~) So if u have lost or plan to lose in this coming Christmas, bear in mind, PLAY SAFE!

Play safe~~

This morning when i flip newspaper, a news caught my attention. Forbes Asia has named one of my idol, Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes as its 2010 Businessman of the Year. As we know Tony is a successful Malaysian entrepreneur and founder of low-cost carrier airline, Air Asia with the tagline "Now Everyone Can Fly". Besides that, he is also one of the top richest man in Malaysia. 

Tony Fernandes~~

 Suddenly something came into my mind. If we foresee something that people can't foresee, we will have the opportunity to be rich. In order to gain more profit, we must put ourselves in an uncontested market and maintain our competitive advantages - Blue Ocean Strategy. Last time, one of my friend got an idea that we can open a shop at shopping mall and let people come to sleep. I think this idea is excellent. Benefit to those husband or boyfriend that feel tire or boring when shopping with their partner. Wahahaha~~ looking for investor to invest in our business. If u feel interested, feel free to email me for further details.

Sleeping Business? Can it work?

Just now have my lunch with Sarah Tan, a sweet girl from Deloitte Tax Department. Special thank to her for helping me to take my P2 note because I was not able to attend the revision class due to my nanny funeral. Thank you and nice to meet you. ^^

Stevens Johnson

1 month ago."Dad, what illness that nanny get?" I drove my car fetching my dad on the way back to our home.

"Stevens Johnson..."He replied.

A name of combination of Steven Gerrard and Glen Johnson, that what i think of. "A doctor name?"I asked.

"Disease name."He answered solemnly. This was our conversation along the way we back home.

8 days ago, my parent asked me went back Kota Bharu immediately, they told me that grandmum couldn't live any longer. 11pm, once I reached the airport, my mum directly fetched me to General Hospital. My dad was waiting there that time. Since it already late, I was told to visit my grandmum's ICU room alone.

After informed my grandmum's name, a nurse led me to my grandmum's room. Along the way, I saw many patient lying on the bed suffering their pain. I was wondering what had happened to them. When facing serious illness, human life is very tiny.

When i reached a single ICU room which was at the end of the corridor, through the glass, I saw a bald patient lying on the bed unconsciously with an oxygen mask and plenty of medical equipments were surrounding her. When I look closely, OMG! She was my grandmum, I can't even recognise her. With a blanket covered her body, I can see a lot of ulcer on her shoulder, neck, face and some even with pus. Goshh... A tube came out from her throat, another tube connected to a machine which blood flood in and out, another tube connected to a yellowish liquid package under her bed which i believed was her urine. God! She was just an old lady and what the hell she needed to suffer all of this!?The f*cking disease was torturing her.

My tear started to drop. My heart felt very pain I almost collapsed. I  leant on the window. What i wish was i could help her to suffer all of this. I felt helpless. Just kept on praying. She breathed heavily, so did I. The monitor showed some numbers and i believed that they were all below the par. She started to move her head. I felt that she knew I was there. At that moment, I hope to went inside the room and hold her hand, at least could calm her down. But I didn't. I not sure whether I can go in or not as the door was stuck with a paper written "Pelawat Dilarang Masuk", and no one was around for me to ask. Without any protection or stelirisation, I scared I would bring virus to her. I kept on standing at there staring at her. Tear continued to drop. 

The next day, everyone was asked to hospital to meet my grandmum for the very last time. I saw everyone's face was tire and upset. After had a discussion with doctor, dad and uncles decided to take off the oxygen mask. They decided to let her go instead of continued suffering in this world. Everyone cried in that room. One of my cousin wailed and kept shouting :"Nanny....nanny...."The whole atmosphere was full of sadness. Everyone wanted to do something but everyone was helpless. With her reddish eyes, my mum asked me to tell my grandmum to leave us peacefully. I hold my grandmum hand tightly and whispered to her what my mum told me. After that, everyone took turn to feed her some water with a bottle cap. After an hour after took off the oxygen mask, she left us. This was the first time I saw my dad cried, he cried badly. So did my uncles, aunties, cousins.. everyone cried. My heart started to bleed when i saw my grandfather. He cried. I believed he was the one who hurt the most. A partner which spent entire life with him, left him. Without saying anything, I just hugged him quietly.

Me and My Grandmum

Life is short. We must cherish and appreciate what we have right now especially our family and the one that we love. REST IN PEACE, Grandmum, we always love you. You always have us and you are not alone.

Broga Hill Adventure

My handphone rang. I woke up and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It showed 2:45am.
"Hello",I answered the phone.
"You wake up already?",Long asked.
"I thought cancel, now raining.",I answered while hearing the rain sound heavily outside the window.
"Here is raining doesn't mean that there is raining too.", he insisted.
"Ok, wait me 10 minutes, go to fetch you soon", after hang up the phone, i force myself got down from my lovely bed and prepared to go out.

3:05am. Two of us reach BRJ restaurant. Another 4 person have their foods while waiting for us. I order a piece of Roti Canai and Teh-O-Ais for my "breakfast". 3:30am, 6 person with 2 local cars were heading to our destination - Broga Hill.

4:30am. We reach a rabbit farm which seem like a starting point for the whole trip and we park our car at the road side. The environment is f*cking horrible. It is dark, cold ,wet, and on and off we can hear the sound which i not sure is generated by frog or insect. However, we have to pass-by a rubber estate in order to start our hiking. Due to the darkness of the estate, i feel unsafe and suggest that we wait for another group of people. It seem like we are the 1st group to reach there. Rain become smaller and smaller.

5:00am. A group of Malay's guy arrive. They seem like came before so we decide to follow them. We 6 person, 5 torchlight, 4 bottle of water, 3 pretty girls and 3 handsome guys, 2 digital camera, 1 spirit and 1 team began our journey.Due to raining, the path is wet, slippy and muddy, so we have to be extremely careful.

6:00am Almost reach the peak

6:30am dawn shot

On Caring

Yesterday morning, when i was in my office rushing my almost-due-date assignment, my colleague came to me and told me that my manager wanted to see me. I was wondered if I had done something wrong , or just wanted to inform me about staff's bonus which was a "hot issue" some weeks ago. I was concerned, confused and a little bit of excited.

I sat infront of my manager, Ms Wong. With a gentle smile, she handed me an envelope with my name written on it. I received it with a great joy."How much do you expect to get?"she asked."1 month" I answered."Then you should open and see."She replied me with her sweet smile again. From her words, i know that it would be more than 1 month. Yet,"I afraid i will feel disappointed, hahaha~~" I answered while staring at my name" ONG SOON CHIN" on the envelope. "You can save this money for your wedding." she suggested. She knew me, I always share my things with her. She is not only a manger, but a mentor or perhaps a friend to me. I nodded.

"Do you feel happy working with us? Ms Lim (our boss) said you look very stress and tire recently. She seldom see u smile and hear your laugh after shift to new office. Do u have any problem?"I sat stunned."We know you are responsible, Ms Lim often see you still working after office hour and even bring file go back home to do. If you have any problem, just tell us, perhaps Ms Lim and I can help you."Ms Wong added.

After working for almost 2 years, I really feel mentally exhausted with my routine life. Every morning wake up, working, trap in traffic jam, dinner, sleeping then same cycle goes for the next day. Even worse when I have to think, care or worry about matter of family, money, love, friend, study, etc... I really hope I can leave everything behind and go far away to travel alone. But I know this is impossible for this mean time, i still have to face reality. Just always asking myself to be strong. ^^

However the important thing is they do see my effort. When i take my thing back home to do, some of my colleague always ask me why u want to take back home to do, you should rest yourself. For me, they sound like:" James, you are stupid, why u take back home to do?" Maybe I am inefficient, but I just don't like job left incomplete and I wish I can finish it as fast as possible. I never asking for more reward but I do appreciate if they can recognise what i have done. Maybe it just a casual talk and mean nothing to them but it really touch my heart. The thoughtfulness and caring of my boss demonstrates that people remember more how much an employer cares than how much the employer pay. I not sure how long i will stay with this firm but I can very sure that SY Lim & Co always the best firm in my life and I have no regret to join this firm.

UNSTOPPABLE

A Must Watch

I am very impressed with this movie. Another successful movie directed by Tony Scott and starred by Denzel Washington after Déjà Vu. This movie is about an unmanned train carrying a cargo of toxic chemicals. Pits an engineer and his conductor in a race against time. They're chasing the runaway train in a separate locomotive and need to bring it under control before it derails on a curve which will cause a toxic spill and eventually decimate a town.

I love Denzel Washington after watched Déjà Vu 4 years ago. I know his movie never disappointed me and again, i am right! :)n this movie, Denzel is a veteran railroad engineer who had been being forced to retire as the railway company employed young generation to replace old workers. Another handsome star, Chris Pine is a young train conductor who battle against a restraining order from his wife and kid, and hired to replace the experienced veterans. I just knew this handsome guy, Chris in this movie even though he is already a super star after starring "Star Track". (Sorry :p because i din't watch)

Chris and Denzel

Based on the real-life story, the unmanned train that went down the tracks after a railroad employee failed to set the air brakes while switching tracks. So,Denzel and Chris chase the unmanned train in a different locomotive in order to bring the unmanned train under control before it is too late. Tony Scott, the director has done a good job in this movie. The visual effects is fantastic and goes well with the whole plot. The action is fast-paced, and the tension grabs you from time to time and just doesn't let go. The most exciting part is when Chris jump from the back of a truck and allowing himself to climb aboard and finally regain control of the train, bringing it to a safe stop. NICE!!!

Be careful!!!

Another reason I love this movie as it ends up with happy ending. Hahaha... Denzel, who had been being forced into early retirement with half benefits, gaining a promotion and eventually retiring with full benefits. Christ reunites with his estranged wife and his son.

touching~~

Highly recommended, I rate it 9/10. Unstoppable is definitely an exciting way to waste an hour and a half. ^^

!st p05+.....

Today, since I have nothing to do in the office, so I make up my mind to create my 1^st ever blog. I am not sure whether I will continuous blogging or just create it temporary for fun and to ease my boringness as well. There are some of my frens who are very good in blogging. I like to visit their blog as they always introduce a lot of exotic and delicious foods, interesting places and movies. Even sometimes their daily life can cheer me up too.

Since no new account come in, we are considered “jobless”in our office, our senior manager, Ms Wong asked us to prepare presentation for latest FRS (Financial Reporting Standard). The presentation will be held once a week and the worst part is with the presence of our audit director, Ms Lim. WTH!!!! My last presentation was years ago during my university life and I totally forget how to present. Well, I think I should take it as a new challenge to improve my presentation skills and maybe will indirectly affect my bonus too. Hiak hiak~~ Tsk~~ Tsk~~Tsk~~ James, James, u better prepare and practice well on this weekend. OpsSss, forget to inform that the presentation will be on this coming Monday. F*ck!

Another fantastic news is YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My super idol, JAY CHOU is coming to Malaysia to have a concert on 4^th and 5^th of March next year at Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil!!! We ( I, JQ ,Adelene and some unknowns) this crazy gang will be at there shouting and screaming to give our fully support to you!!! Yahoo!! This is my second time in my life to a concert and both are Jay’s too! Last time I sponsored my ex-gf to the concert but this time I will only buy the ticket for myself. Hahaha.(money not easy to earn, :P) 

Don miss it!!!

I was learnt that the platform will be a T-Stage incorporated with 3D technology with approx. 2000 LED lights and lasers. I am wondering who will be the official performing guest of the concert with Jay Chou. I hope that will not be unknown Malaysia’s artist like last time.Hahaha. (Sorry to Daniel Lee’s fans).So anticipating of the coming of my super idol. It already 10 years down the road since he first launched his first album and he has gone through a long road reaching the status on where he is now. Undeniable, he is one talented artist, a superman that who does not need to fly. *solute*
