Happy New Year 2010!!

New Year, New Image, New Car, New House, New Girl Friend, New Style, New Wear, New Handy, New Music, New Movie.......

is everything supposed to be new??

I suggest that we should all have a "New Me" in terms of "look within" oneself rather than "look outward".....

Happy New Year and wish you all achieve your goals this year!

Home Sweet home?? An End or a Beginning??

Dear ppl..
It has been a while since I last posted the blog.. (Thanx to the China "GFW")

Finally the project in China Hefei has completed...
Surprise, surprise... I was bit "reluctant" to leave this place... (I shall post some pix in the upcoming blogs..."to show some highlights")
Then, I realised that I had the kind of same feeling when I was a student back in Bristol, UK....

Remember ppl used to tell me, it takes a while for you to get use to a new environment, and once you are acquainted & familiarised with a place, you will felt "reluctant" to leave.... I think it is happening again!!

So, after checking in my luggages, etc... I was waiting in the departure hall.
I sent the following sms to my fellow friends who I newly met during my stay in Hefei...

"Dear Fren..:)
Leaving Hefei is not the end for me but a beginning of a* new journey for me...:)
I am very glad to have met u all and went through the ups and downs together as time passed by... At least I have known u...
Stay alive lively and keep in touch, we'll see each other again...
Thank you and Goodbye!"

Come to think about it now... I should have written...
"*a beginning of ANOTHER new journey...." which is true!!

I believe "the End is the Beginning is the End"....
Life is always an ongoing process... it doesn't stop... it just keep moving!!!
And we as human, we must be able to adapt ourselves to this process and go with the flow!!

Welcome back to BLOGSPOT in KL....

I was glad to have come back to KL to start posting blog up again...
The reason that I have stopped blogging from China Hefei is that I couldn't log into blogspot......

I was later found out that it was blocked by the so-called Great Firewall (GFW) of China... great, huh??

Oh well, I supposed this country really spent quite a huge sum of money to do this "great" job....

May 13th.....

The May 13 Incident if you see from Wikipedia is a term used for the Sino-Malay riot in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which began on May 13, 1969.......

Oh well, honestly speaking... the past is something for us to learn and not something for us to be scared of. The thing is that people who are born after 1969 are not only not aware of them, they are considered to be borned into this new & mature country - "Malaysia - Truly Asia".....

We are people of 21st century... and guess what did I see on my iGoogle home page on the Star Online Newspaper 13.5.2009 Most Viewed?
Hubby had sex using cucumbers and brinjals.... what the....

Interestingly, the most viewed issues is not something we will remember or to learn from, but something new instead...

Obviously I find such a topic interesting... but.....
I thought we are a more conservative South East Asia country and this kind of issues are considered taboo?

Perhaps we are opening up in our culture too...... haha....interesting...

Happy Wesak Days & Mother's Day.....

Over the weekend, the celebration of Wesak (a.k.a. Vesak) Day coincides with Mother's Day......

"Be part of solution", urges Najib during the Wesak Day 2009 celebration in Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple in Jenjarom.

Our newly appointed PM is taking his duty to foster a better relationship with the rakyat.

It is true that if you are not part of a solution, you are part of the problem.

I agree totally with him the moment he mentioned that "For instance, when an accident happens, they should help the victims without asking whether they are Chinese, Malay or Indian because they are all Malaysians in need of help...... I wonder sometimes in filling up forms we were being asked, "are you bumiputera or non-bumiputera?"

At times before I "checked the box in the form", I hesitated for a while, as I was born in Malaysia, brought up in Malaysia, singing negaraku all this while, I kinda considered myself as bumiputera lorr....

Whatever it is, I respected & love our very own unique Malaysian rojak culture very much. This is my country, my home...

Malaysia, my motherland... Happy Mother's Day....
& of course, to my own mother too......hehe...


p.s. The "baby-hand"pix I took it from http://snapshotcap.blogspot.com/2008/05/mothers-day.html

Back home in Malaysia?? not quite.......

Oh my..... Today is so warm!!!

Stepping into my toilet for my usual "routine" this morning felt like being back home in KL.... Well, the temperature has simply rises back to our "normal" tropical climate...haha..

Ironically, I hope the temperature decreases a little...
but sorry, I can't do so, this is because according to the policy of.........

Sounds familiar, that's just exactly the world that we live in now...

Either we are in, or we are out. The "somewhere-in-the-middle" is for us to determine and this is where our "attitude" comes into play...

It is the "Attitude" that makes our day.
Like it or not this constitutes the way we live in our everyday life.

So, instead of complaining the weather is cold or the weather is hot, be bold and face it... and turn something out of it!

Oh.... I miss Bristol now!!!

Malaysia - Selamat Hari Vaisakhi...

Having brought up in Malaysia all this while, I did not know this significant day for my fellow Malaysian Sikh community until I was back in KL last week....

Believe it or not, thanx to our "very normal" traffic jam while attending the seminar in Eastin Hotel along Jalan Dato Abu Bakar 16/1, I managed to see this Billboard displaying "Selamat Hari Vaisakhi for Kaum Sikh"....

It might sound bit too late or "surprise" feeling for me to learn about this event. It is a day that actually marks the beginning of the Sikh new year....

As it's better late than never, at least I know about it and will remember for the rest of my life as Malaysian....

This gives me a signal that it's actually my family who did not instill this sort of culture awareness in me, and I am certain that there are many other people might still be not aware of this....

Whatever it is, we must appreciate the uniqueness of our very own Rojak Culture that you simply cannot get it in other part of the world...

That's why we as Malaysian should be proud of this celebration and be glad to discover and celebrate together!!

Malaysia - Speaker...

I have not come across any English-spoken speakers in Malaysia...
I must say that there are rooms for improvement...

However, I would like to say that we have got very good Engineers back home here in Malaysia...
And, I must introduce Ir. Dr. Gue (speaker talking about the slopes stability)from our very own Malaysian based geotechnical company called G&P Professionals Sdn. Bhd. (http://www.gnpgroup.com.my/)

A very confidence, motivated speaker which re-enhance and re-boosted the interest of Geotechnical stuff which I learned during my uni time in Uni of Bristol....

A question impressed me, "Why can't?"..... interesting....

MAS motto - MH Malaysian Hospitality

Ever wonder why our ancestor left China for Malaysia and did not return after that??

This is simply because Malaysia is such a nice country......

Believe or not... The moment you stepped into MAS...

phew.. the "juz-feel-good" ambience & the warm hospitality is something you cannot be missed....

I had a good time on board to be pampered (by the good food & nice seat!!) after being in China for the past few months....

On board, there are promotional videos showcasing our very own Malaysian travel spot such as white sandy beaches, wild forests, traditional folk dances, etc....

Upon reaching KLIA, I can even see this lovely displaying some wildlife nature stuff... pretty interesting!!
