Big Friend

Last week, i received a call from my mum telling me that Champion had passed away. I was so downcast after that call and get some time to work through my feelings. If a dog's one year is equivalent to man's seven years, then Champion was probably almost a 84 year's old senior dog. Champion is a German Shepherd and when my dad bought him, he was just a little thing but very adorable with  his sagging ears. After a year, he grew strong and looked fierce to outsider, but was gentle, clumsy and lovely to our family members.

Due to cleanliness, my parent doesn't allow him to enter our house. He always sit on the doorstep and waiting for us. But whenever thundering or sound of exploding firecracker, he will dash into our house and with his innocent eyes hoping us to let him stay inside the house. With no exception, we always pull him out to the doorstep and stroke his forehead or chin:"Champion, nothing to be afraid." He will feel calm and enjoy being stroked. What a big dog with small gut. Lol.

 My father like big thing, no wonder my mum look big. Wahaha, sorry mum, just kidding. Before Champion, we had a Rottweiler. Dad like big and fierce dog which can really look after the house. But he seldom walk the dog. Always I am the one who walk the dog. Whenever i take the leash, Champion will sit quietly and allow me to fasten his neck. Once fasten, he will like a mad dog dash to the gate and excitedly waiting for release. I like to walk Champion. Every time when i bring him out, confirm will catch many attention in the neighbourhood. Especially from neighbourhood small kids. They will follow us and said:" Ma ta kao! ( Police dog)". I feel very proud that time. Unfortunately, there are no pretty princess around that time, otherwise i will become a white horse prince, no, no, no should be a black dog prince. Hahaha.

Champion is a good listener but i don't think he is a good secret keeper. I like to share my thing with him. I always stroke him while talking to him. Wondering did he actually listen to me or just simply enjoy my massage. But i think he did listening. When i pass by my neighbour house, their dog will bark at me. And I feel like they are saying :" Hey, you this failer." or "Yo, futsal Champion" Hahaha...I think I am quite famous in my neighbourhood dog community but unsure about I am a legend or a loser. I wish i could understand their language. Lol.

In his tenure of life, Champion never had sex so he can consider a holy dog. Feel sorry to him. Is quite difficult to find a female German Shepherd in Kelantan where 5 % of the population is Chinese. And among the 5%, i  am not sure how many percent people who has female German Shepherd. The probability is almost Nil. And i believe that Champion is quite picky in choosing his mate.  No wonder he like to play with my sisters. Erm... I din mean that my sisters are bitch, just Champion like something more feminine. Hahaha~~

Throughout this 12 years, Champion had brought us a lot of happiness and I really feel proud to have him as our family member and my best friend. Human lie, human betray and human hypocrite. Dog is loyal, protective and real to human. I always believe that dogs are human best friend and i will continue to believe it. R.I.P, Champion. Always miss you. :)

I recently do not allowed myself to have ice cream product after lunch when I discover that my tummy is getting bigger. I even just have ceasar salad for my lunch to keep myself fit. I can't accept the theory that a guy with a big tummy is hunky. WTF!! Definately NO!!! We all love a good serving of ice cream once in a while, but the rich cream also often comes with a post-dessert coma. Have you ever wished that there was an alternative which was just as yummy as ice cream, but without the richness of regular ice cream? However, thing change when I meet Ms F&N Magnolia Sherbet. :) Its texture is lighter and smoother than regular ice cream, and contains real fruit pieces/puree – it’s a refreshing pick-me-up like no other!

Available in 4 variants of Lychee, Mangosteen, Melon and Orange, the fruity flavours perk you up without the heaviness of a full-dairy ice cream. It’s perfect for those of us who want to indulge a little every now and then without feeling guilty about it.

CC Pang enjoy his Lychee Sherbet.

2011

Today is the first day of 2011. One year ago, I had made some new year's resolution for myself to accomplished, such as pass 4 ACCA papers, save RM5k in one year, have a trip to Euro, improve my English and build up my body muscle. However, one year later, what I had done? I just able to pass 1 paper in 2 sittings; able to save rm5k but not by myself; don't even talk about Euro trip; my English is still below the par; there is a shape in my body but unfortunately, not with a good shape. Year ago, I made this resolution with full of spirit, enthusiasm and passion. Year later, I again made the same resolution with full of spirit, enthusiasm and passion. And again, I believe the result will still be the same....Urh!!!! I am really such an Asshole!

Yesterday, I read an article about our life and it is meaningful. The article goes like this: A couple who stay at 80 floor just come back from travelling and carry with their big luggage. When they reach their apartment, they notice that the lift is out of service due to power cut. Thus, they decide to carry the big luggage along with them walking up the stairs. When they reach 20th floor, they feel that the luggage are so heavy and after a short discussion, they decide to leave the luggage at 20th floor and later come back to collect when the lift is in service. After drop their luggage at 20th floor, they feel relax and easy to climb the floor. They continue to talk and laugh until 40th floor. When reach 40th floor, they start to feel tire and complain each other for not aware about the notice of power cut, otherwise they could have came back later and wouldn't suffer all this. They continue to complaint and quarrel until 60th floor. When reach 60th floor, they are totally exhausted and no more energy to quarrel and argue. Hence, they silently and quietly continue their climb and finally they reach their house at 80th floor. With big excitement that they just want to open the door, they just discover that their house key is in the luggage at 20th floor.

This story is vividly demonstrating our life. Before 20 years old, we live under the expectation of our parent, family, teacher and others that expect us to be good in study and everything. Hence, we can feel the pressure and burden just like we carrying the luggage walking up the stairs. After 20 years old, we are free from those expectation and we start to have our dream and pursuit our dream. Over this 20 years, we enjoy and have fun with our life just like we drop the luggage at 20th floor and happily continue our journey. At the age of 40th, we find that our life is miserable, then we start to compare and complain. We complain about our husband for not so rich, complain about our wife for not so pretty, complain about our employer for low employee benefit, complain about our government for high living cost, complain about Liverpool for never win the EPL tittle, etc. keep on complaining until we reach the age of 60th. At the age of 60th, we realise that our life is going to end and is pointless for us to keep on complaining. As an old folk, we stop to complain, quietly and tolerably live for the remaining of our life. When the time for us to meet our Maker, we just realise that  we still have a lot of thing forget to do and our dream still left in 20 years old. You can have your own choice whether  you want to make your life as interesting as "Avatar" or as dull as "Selamat Pagi Malaysia". So, if you don't want to regret when u are old, just remember to bring your "Key" along with you. ^^ ( Lucky I still have 14 years to go before I will start to complain. LOL)

I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to my parent for spending little time together, due to my working commitment. Apologise to my friends who I had made fun with and  accidentally or intentionally offended. Apologise to a person that I love and hurt the most. Thank, without you, I never know what the Love is. Last, apologise to my body as I seldom take good care of it and I promise I will take good care of it. Lol. At the end, wishing you and your loved ones peace, health, happiness and prosperity in 2011. Happy New Year!

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.
