Emo... it can be hilarious (but not if you're the emo dude!)

Below is an interesting (and somewhat entertaining) video clip showing a woman who missed her flight, and it has received about 4.5 million hits. You might label it 'invasion of privacy', and whoever posted this clip up might be sued. But till then, check it out:




Why is she acting like this? Beats me. But HERE is the story behind the clip.

Maybe she was just going through the phase.
Maybe she needed to be get back to attend to something urgent (she wanted to visit her dying sister, by the way).
Maybe she was just acting purely based on emotions.
Maybe she was desperate?

I believe sometimes people can just be emotionally and do things they do not mean to do. Or maybe, they just want to be emotional?

One can say something, and totally turn it around the next day. Changes his/her mind and disputing facts faster than you can double check them - cakap tak sama bikin.

There are times, i just wonder why some people do what they do, or say those things which they don't mean at all.

It's best to be careful of what you do, and how you act. But most importantly, say what you mean, and mean what you say, quoting from prominent someone here on the island.

If my advice doesn't sound like "please grow up and be a mature person", i would say please think carefully of what you plan to do. If not, you might end up being a joke (or a good video clip over the Internet!)

If you're reading my blog on a long, dry day, hope you're entertained, and have a nice day.

Love & Peace!~

Homesick.

"Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me...."

A couple of weeks back, I was back home to help out with my cell group members' wedding, held at Flamingo Hotel in Ampang. Both Melissa D and i headed down before the rest follow suit the next day.

It was thrilling for my girl as it's her maiden drive down to KL and out of the island! (I'm so proud of her!)

The few of us were there to play a few songs for praise and worship session at the ceremony, while the rest were present to witness Joash Koh (officially) tying the knot with Su Chen. CONGRATULATIONS to them, by the way!

It was beautiful, but not really a tear-jerker as compared to Justin and Sher-Mayne's wedding. But nonetheless, beautiful.

And while both of us were still in KL, we managed to go for my family reunion dinner (it was still Chinese New Year then) in Serdang and also we managed to attend Shannon's 21st Birthday party.

Due to conflict in schedule, i failed to meet up with friends... but i'm looking forward to catching up with them in my next trip down.

While i was back home, i couldn't shake off the feeling that i miss KL. To be specific, my family and friends. It kept me up for a few hours, thinking and reminiscing about time spent with them and how long i was away here on the island. I'm feeling what many of those who travelled away from home to study/work.

But then again, the world is still spinning around, and everything in KL is moving like how it was the yesterday and the day before that (apart from the political situation).

How i look at it, i'm not really needed in KL; I'm needed here on the island, and i'm learning the ways here... to be inter-dependent with the people around me and my loved ones as well.

I maybe loving the island, but KL (and Selangor) will forever this city boy's hometown!

Love & Peace!~

NOOOOOO!~

I can't believe a draft in my email has just disappear this afternoon, and it contained several stories of mine (read: three days' worth of workload!)

I think there's a glitch in gmail. One minute i was looking at it, the next it's gone! Maybe saving my work in drafts isn't a good idea, like my colleague pointed out. Maybe i should sent it out next time in the future.


*Sigh* Looks like i have to type it all over again!

A Day To Show Love To The Ones You Care Part 2: Timeless.

Yesterday evening, after work, Melissa D and i hanged around Gurney Plaza for dinner and to walk around. There, she insisted on getting me a Valentine's Day gift, since i got her one.

I agreed on getting a watch as well, a fair deal since i got her one. So, after looking around several shops in Gurney, we decided to go to Chain City watch shop. While we munched dinner on the go, we entered the shop, and got the watch.

And i must say, i like the watch. Besides the fact that it looks somewhat funky in design, has both digital and analogue time with light function, this Smash! watch was on sale, 50% off! Hence, it was a deal!

I told her, "Let's go to your room, on your bed. Turn off the lights, go under the blanket... and check out this watch that lights up in the dark!"

She then stared at me, calling me lame! HAHAHA!~



Doesn't this look, cool?

After admiring and thanking Melissa D for the watch, she then shared a thought with me, saying, "Although we don't enjoy buying expensive things for our own self, we do not mind spending more for our family and friends."

She was so true, and that's another thing we have in common. (I think many of you sees her as generous and kind, i think i'll still be labeled 'cheap, cheap and very cheap!')

And there is so much more to learn about her, and everyday is a new day where i can learn something else about my dear and love her even more, as God continue guiding us in this relationship.

I believe in the end of the day, relationship isn't easy. Ask anyone being in one, either courting, engaged or married - relationship takes a lot of effort, understanding and love to make it happened.

But I love being with the love of my life!

Love & Peace!~

A Day To Show Love To The Ones You Care.

This year is the first time i'm actually celebrating Valentine's Day with my dear, Melissa D! Technically, we celebrated it yesterday... on Friday the 13th!

Steering clear from superstition, Melissa D and i started the day jogging nearby her place with Aunty Moy early in the morning. But it was cut short when it started to rain. So, we hanged out at Melissa D's for awhile.

Then, both of us had lunch at TGI Friday's in Queensbay Mall before watching Bride Wars. Lunch was good and very filling (spent over RM100 for two) while the movie was funny, but has a holey plot.

I managed to get Melissa D a watch (and yes, it was affordable. I can imagine the number of people dissing me now) and she loved it. For me, i believe in getting something practical and has long-term usage, rather than getting something at the spur of the moment, and ends up collecting dust in one corner of the cupboard.

The Valentine Day's card and watch i got for her.

The day ended with us heading to Paul and Michelle's place for cell group meeting after dinner nearby their place. And we had an interesting time of sharing and reflecting!

And today, on Valentine's Day, it seems to be crowded everywhere here on the island. For what reason, it alludes me. While Melissa D had to work, i had some duties at church, helping out with the Radiant Kids Club.

Anyway, now i'm here with her, and we're planning to watch some movie on DVD after dinner and apple crumble cheesecake.

I believe Valentine's Day have been over commercialised and flowers, roses in particular, becomes exponentially expensive. Like my brother said, i pity those who paid for over priced roses.

Well, i suppose i'll get Melissa D flowers, some other time. Maybe end of the month.


" Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes..."

Killer Instinct.

Recently, i'm rediscovered a long-lost passion that i once had many years ago... the urge to kill. To be exact, the urge to kill mosquitoes.

I enjoy the occasional swatting of mozzies by clapping them between my palms, between my palm and the nearest wall or even by using one hand to 'catch' them. Oh, the joy of seeing them squashed, as blood oozes out of their body!

As of late, my room here on the island has been 'infested' with these creatures. And i jerk awake almost every night, to discover that there are mosquito bites all over my hands and legs. At one time, i discovered that there were at least twenty bites on my left arm alone!

To make matters worse, they were also hovering around in the bathroom. I had to take measures into my own hands!

I decided to stand up to these intruders, and swatted them in the bathroom and bedroom. I could easily kill up to ten mozzies at one go... and oh, was it thrilling!~

Earlier this week, i had to buy mosquito spray and the high-frequency repellent; sprayed my room and turned the device on. And the past few night, i wore my hoodie to bed, on warm nights, just to cover my arms!

Now, with my room stinking of aerosol, i'm just keeping my fingers crossed that there will be less blood-suckers around... or i could risk cutting my own number of days. *sigh*

Hmmm... i wonder whether this is a sign that i should look for another place to stay. I wonder.

Love & Peace!~
