Love Never Fails

2009-03-20T16:28:00.002+08:00

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres"

~1 Corinthians 13:4-7~

I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing

2009-03-17T21:22:00.002+08:00

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
I don't wanna miss a thing

Love Matters

2009-03-06T22:10:00.000+08:00

I was supposed to watch Love Matters today with my friends in Sunway Pyramid but we were late for the 1.45pm screening. Actually not all of us were late, but almost all because Soon Teck was the only one who reached there before 1.45pm. Lol! Wanted to watch the 4.10pm screening but it'll be too late for us. So we ended up bowling instead of watching movie.

After movie, we headed back to Klang to play badminton. Played from 6pm until 8pm. It's kind of tiring; working, bowling and playing badminton.

I'm working again tomorrow. So guys, go to Giant tomorrow if you wanna see the Susu Guy. Haha! I know you guys are missing me right? =P

I think i will be quite free for the next two weeks. Love Matters anyone? =)

Work = Fun = Experience = $!

2009-03-06T21:50:00.000+08:00

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates! Been pretty busy these few weeks; working and attending job training. Anyway, my Colgate project has ended. No more dressing up like a dentist who freaked out many little boys and girls who walked pass me. XD

Overall, i would say that working is kind of tiring but the experience i gained is the thing that counts. =D Before my Colgate project ended, i was offered another two projects which are Coffee-mate and Fernleaf Kuat. Praise the Lord!

Fernleaf Kuat project started last weekend and will be ending this weekend. It's in Giant Bukit Tinggi also. So last two weeks i was the Colgate Guy, and this week, i'll be the Susu Guy. Haha! By the way, Coffee-mate project has just ended today. It started on this week's Monday in Inti College Subang Jaya. Basically, i worked for this Coffee-mate project over there for five days from Monday till Friday. It was very fun working in Inti College together with my other two partners. I really enjoyed working with them; the jokes we shared and the laughters we had were really the unforgettable ones. =D

My supervisor called me up yesterday and offered me another project which is Fernleaf Gump that will be starting on 28th till 29th March and 4th till 5th April in Econsave Pandamaran. Praise the Lord! =)

So that's all about my jobs' update. Will be back soon! =D

Mr. Colgate

2009-02-13T13:34:00.004+08:00

Don't be shocked to see me with that smile, standing beside Colgate's booth in Giant, Bukit Tinggi tomorrow. =D

Back in Action!

2009-02-11T12:21:00.005+08:00

I haven't been involving myself in basketball tournaments for months until last Sunday, 8th February 2009. It was Admiral 3on3 basketball tournament that was held in Plaza Mont Kiara. My teamates were Prashad and Chi Yung.

Woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning, bathed, packed my bag and went to pick Chi Yung up. After that, headed straight to Berkeley to fetch Prashad and another three of his friends, Alex, Cenn Born and Jack who participated in that 3on3 also. So altogether, there were two teams in my car.

Reached there a bit late because we couldn't get to Plaza Mont Kiara even though it was right in front our eyes. We didn't know which flyover to use until we went to a petrol kiosk and asked for directions.

Truthfully, i would say that i was kind of nervous because i haven't been playing tournaments for almost 5 months!

The first round, we beat Lucky17 11-3.
The second round, we beat Unknown 11-4.
The third round, which was the Semifinal, we beat KHS2 10-1.
And the last round which was the Final, we beat Goblok 4-0.

I know it was weird to play only two games to advance straight to the semifinal. It was actually grouping stage. Each group has three teams in it. The team that won two matches in grouping stage advances straight to the semifinal. This system helped the weaker teams to play more games.

As the champion, we walked away with an Admiral voucher worth RM600. So we shared that RM600 among three of us, RM200 each.

I bought 3 pairs of Admiral shoes with the voucher. Bought a casual shoe and an outdoor shoe for myself and a sport shoe for my brother. Wanted to buy clothes with the voucher but Admiral clothes don't suit my taste. =D

Anyway, i'm writing this just to share with you guys. =)

Lastly, a group photo of us.

Clockwise: (Top left) Cenn Born, Chi Yung, Me, Jack, Prashad and Alex.

Chinese New Year

2009-02-10T23:02:00.007+08:00

No more playing fire crackers, receiving ang pau's, gambling and enjoying the spirit of Chinese New Year but only leaving behind new clothes that have been worn and cookies. That's the end of Chinese New Year.

Visited quite a number of houses this year and received quite a number of ang pau's too! xD Took some photos during the visits on the 1st day to my friends' house.

Alex's

Soon Teck's. Couldn't get a photographer, so that's the benefit of being a 'tangan panjang'. xD

Mine

Seng Ming's

We also went to Cheng's house but forgot to take a group photo.

I enjoyed my Chinese New Year a lot this year and i hope you all did too! =)

Genting Highlands

2009-02-10T22:43:00.028+08:00

On the 22nd January 2009, i went to Genting Highlands with my friends. Had so much fun there! I'll let the photos do the talking. =)

The people that i went with were...

Wei Shern, Calvin

Soon Teck,

Lyon and

Alex

They went for Go Kart but i didn't because the helmets were smelly! xD

The best ride of the day, Cork Screw!

I was talking to Alex and laughing non-stop. Haha!

Spinner. See how many empty seats.

Pirate Ship. Also many empty seats.

13, yeah, that's our boat! It made my legs cramped!

All of us had to fit in that smelly vest. Maybe they shouldn't ask me to wear that but only Soon Teck because i can float better than him! Lol!

Astro Fighter. My legs were too long for it.

The childish side of me. =D

I was so lucky to sit in between two cameramen. =P

Space Shot. BEFORE. Thumbs up!

Our hearts were beating fast!

Space Shot. AFTER. Tongues out!

A group photo before heading back to Klang.

I've been to Genting Highlands so many times but this was the best trip ever. Had so much fun there but the only thing that wasn't that fun was i wasn't able to shout or scream with others because i lost my voice and could hardly speak. But overall, it was an enjoyable holiday although it was a one day trip.

Still Alive!

2009-02-10T22:29:00.006+08:00

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates! My laptop was sick and still sick. xD I don't know what's wrong with it. Everytime i charge it when i'm using it or i set the screen to the brightest, the screen goes dark but not blank. Those icons on my screen are still visible but the screen light turns off by itself. So i have to charge it full before i use it and i cant charge it when i'm using it. Anyone can help me with this problem? I will update on my trip to Genting Highlands and Chinese New Year gatherings soon. Stay tune! =)

Uncle Lim!

2009-01-21T00:00:00.005+08:00

Uncle Lim, here i come...! xD

Dong Dong Chiang

2009-01-19T22:07:00.005+08:00

Yes, yes, i can feel it! The mood... 'Dong Dong Chiang!' Hey, not the 'Dong Dong Chiang' where there are people wearing white, blue or green and red is not allowed one okay? xD I mean the 'Dong Dong Chiang' where most people will be wearing as reddish as they can. Yes, it's Chinese New Year! It's drawing near.

Many elderly folks said that Chinese New Year is the day when we forgive each other, have dinner together, and most importantly, reunite with family members who live far away or maybe children who are away from home for studies. Yes, it's indeed true.

When i was a young boy... Okay, i'm still young! =D When i was a younger boy, i used to think that Chinese New Year is all about ang pau's, fire crackers, new clothes, holidays and nice food. As i grew a little older, where my brother has gone outstation to further his studies, i realised that how important it is to cherish every single moment when we are together and staying close to each other with our loved ones.

Now that Chinese New Year is drawing near, take this opportunity to gather all your family members, have reunion dinner together and have a great time enjoying each other's company! =)

Don't show me that kind of expression. xD

2009-01-16T16:23:00.007+08:00

I was browsing my photo albums just now and saw one of the funniest photos that i've ever edited.

Uncle, you lost your son? That's not your son, Uncle. xD

By the way, this old man isn't related to me. Haha! Enjoy! =D

You're Hired!

2009-01-15T18:36:00.006+08:00

Yes, i'm hired! =) Get it right! It's hired, not fired! Haha! I was supposed to receive an sms yesterday regarding the result of my interview but i didn't receive any. So i called up the company and asked about it. The people there asked me to contact the person who's in charge in Klang, John. I called him up and he asked me to call again today because he wasn't in the office and cant check for me. So i called him up again this morning and everything turned out positively!

I'm hired but i'll start working on February. It's not an everyday job. It's only weekends but not every weekend. John asked me to work on the 14th, 15th, 21st and 22nd of February for a two-week-project. That means i'll be celebrating Valentine's Day with those Bangladeshi workers who work in Giant and other workers as well. Haha!

Anyway, i'm happy that i'm hired and i cant wait to celebrate my Valentine's Day with Bangladeshi workers! xD

Good time

2009-01-12T11:19:00.006+08:00

Went to Fruity yesterday to celebrate Alex's 18th Birthday which was actually fell on the 7th of January. Had so much fun there. It was a great time catching up with my friends who are already in the college.

After Fruity, went to Alex's place for some games of carom. Went back home at 6.00pm.

When i reached home, i took my shower and went to Giant Bukit Tinggi with family. It was so crowded there. Saw Pn. Sunita there but she didn't see me. xD Bought some drinks there for Chinese New Year and went for dinner.

Had my dinner at Hang Sing Seafood Restaurant. For your information, that restaurant belongs to Nelson's family. I tell you, they serve the best Hokkien Mee in Klang Town! Even those who stay as far as KL come to his shop to have Hokkien Mee! Not only Hokkien Mee, the food there i tell you, only one word can describe it, YUMMY! =) They serve pork free food. Everything there is Halal. This restaurant is located in Pandamaran. It's a house shop. It's located opposite the Pandamaran field, very near to Kompleks Sukan Pandamaran. So guys, try out the food there!

Anyway, i'm sharing this with you guys because i'm a food lover. =D So if you guys have got any recommendation about any nice makan place, do share with me too yea! xD

The Interview

2009-01-11T23:17:00.002+08:00

I went for my interview two days ago(Friday) in Demo Power Sdn Bhd. Woke up at 6.30am. Went for breakfast after sending my sister to school. Reached Telok Pulai train station at 7.30am and waited for the train for about half an hour. Finally, the train arrived at 7.55am.

I reached KL Sentral at 9.00am. I was taking my own sweet time because according to my friend, Adrian, who recommended me to work for this company, it'll only take about half an hour for me to reach that company by Rapid KL bus. So i thought i'll reach there early around 9.35am or 9.40am because my interview was at 10.00am.

The situation became bad when i couldn't find the bus which i was supposed to take. Previously, Adrian told me to take the U82 Rapid KL bus because that was the bus he took when he went there for interview last time. Searched high and low for that U82 bus but still couldn't find it. So i went to the ticket counter and asked whether are there any other buses that i can take besides that 'nowhere to be found U82 bus'. The guy who worked there said that U82 is the only bus that passes through the place where i wanted to go.

U66, U78, U70, U83, U74, U85, U68........ All these buses passed by me but U82 was still nowhere to be seen! It was already 9.20am. I said to myself, 'gone lah gone lah.. sure cant make it for the interview'. Then came the taxi driver, asking me whether wanna take the taxi or not. I asked, "bang, nak pergi Phileo Damansara II(where Demo Power Sdn Bhd was located), berapa ya?". The taxi driver said, "25 ringgit". Then i asked again, "5 ringgit boleh kah? i ni student". Actually i knew that RM5 was too cheap and the taxi driver won't drive me there but still i have to try on my luck. You know what the taxi driver said? He said, "you ingat sini Petaling Street kah?". The taxi driver got pissed off and drove away. My bad.. xD Finally, the U82 bus came! Fiuh...!

In the bus, i told the bus driver(a lady) to drop me at Phileo Damansara II. She said okay. So she dropped me there. I reached there sharp at 10.00am. Wah, such a relief! I went up to the 8th floor where the company is located and told the receptionist that i went there for interview. She then asked the manager to approach me. Our conversation:
Me: Good morning, Sir!
Manager: Good morning! So you come here for interview?
Me: Yes!
Manager: What post?
Me: Promoter, Sir.
Manager: Oh? I think you've come into the wrong office. We don't offer this type of job.
Me: But this is Phileo Damansara II right?
Manager: So sorry, this is Phileo Damansara I. Phileo Damansara II is the other side. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from this building to that building.
Me: What?! Okay then, so sorry to interrupt you. Thank you very much!

Ahhh...! The time was already 10.05am. I was so angry and nervous because i knew that i was gonna be late for my interview. That bus driver told me the wrong thing and dropped me at a different place. I ran all the way to Phileo Damansara II. I reached that office at 10.15am. Went in and apologised for being late. Surprisingly, i wasn't the latest one to arrive! There were two more Indian girls who came in around 10.30am because they drove there and took the wrong road.

The whole process started with some briefing sessions. It took about two hours. After those briefing sessions, we were given a 5-minute break before we proceeded to the interview part.

Right after the break, one was called after another for the interview. I was the fifth one. I was quite nervous because this was the first time attending jobs interview. So i went into the room and greeted the trainer 'Good Morning' without realising that it was already 12.00pm. Lol! I was given three products and i had to choose one of them to promote it. It wasn't really an interview because all they wanted to see was how well do we perform, promote, speak and approach the customers. So i just simply crapped about the product that i chose. It was quite tough though. We all were allowed to go back after the interview session was over. And they'll let us know on the 14th of January whether we passed the interview or not.

So i headed back to the bus stop where i was dropped off. I was supposed to wait at the opposite side of the road because the opposite road was the road going back to KL Sentral but i couldn't find any bus stop there. So i waited at the bus stop that i was dropped off earlier. Waited for the bus for about half an hour. I looked at my watch when i stepped into the bus and it was 1.00pm already and i thought i shall reach KL Sentral before 2.00pm. 2.10pm, i was still in the bus. The bus drove me around KL and stopped at the bus terminal behind One Utama for 20 minutes for no reason! The weather was so hot and all the passengers have to wait under the scorching Sun because that lady wanted to clean the bus. After she cleaned the bus, she asked us to get back into the bus again. Reached KL Sentral at 2.50pm.

The train came at 3.00pm. Found a seat in the train, made myself comfortable, set my alarm and dozed off. I was too tired because i didn't have a good night sleep the night before. I woke up when my alarm rang at 3.40pm. I stood up to check whether there were how many stations left to Telok Pulai station. Then i saw Cheng sitting behind me. I was quite surprised. Haha! Chatted with him until Telok Pulai station. My mum came and i went back home.

Overall, it wasn't a pleasant day for me. Many unpleasant things happened and all the things didn't go the way i wanted them to be. I hope i'll pass the interview and start working soon because i don't wanna 'rot' at home. xD

I know this is a long post. Spent kinda long time typing it. Hope you all enjoy reading it! =)

Lazy + Fat = Me

2009-01-07T17:26:00.010+08:00

Many of my friends have started their college life, some of them have started working part time jobs and i? Well, i've chosen to go Form 6. So i'm still waiting for my SPM result. Ever since SPM ended, i've been telling myself to get a part time job but it'll be only after Chinese New Year because i wanted to relax and hang out with my friends. Yes, i did relax and go out with my friends. But now, most of my friends are all so packed with their studies(college) and some of them have already started working.

So my daily routine now is waking up after 9.00am, picking up my sister from school, sending her to her tuition classes and picking her up again and doing some housework. Yeah, i know i've got a very dull life. And some may say that i'm a lazy bum. Haha!

To prevent myself from getting more lazy, i called up an agent company few days ago, hoping to get a job. I got good respond from that company and i'm scheduled to go for an interview on this Friday in Damansara. I'll be going there by train and bus. Anyone wanna follow? =D I'll be most probably working as a promoter in any supermarkets in Klang. =)

I've been eating a lot these days. My appetite is really good and i get hungry very fast. Many said it's good but i don't think so because consuming a lot of fats and carbohydrate without exercising may lead to OBESITY! Getting fatter isn't in my new year's resolution list. So i went to the RKC's gym today in the afternoon. It's been long since i last hit the gym. There were a few uncles and aunties in the gym and all the treadmills were occupied by them. So i used the fitness cycle first for about 20 minutes. After that, used the dumbbells while waiting for my turn to use the treadmill. When it was my turn to use the treadmill, i went to it and selected a climbing hill course. My legs muscles' started to pull on the 15th minute. So i had to stop on the 16th minute. I rested for a while and drove back home. Overall, i spent about an hour in the gym and that wasn't a great achievement because those uncles and aunties that went earlier than me were still there, looking pretty good in shape on those fitness cycles and treadmills. Haha! I shall hit the gym more often until Chinese New Year so that i'll look better and fitter on my newly bought clothes. xD

Dogs hunt for Roosters?

2009-01-05T13:07:00.007+08:00

Well, i got up from my bed at 10.30am today and went downstairs. Yeah, i know i woke up quite late. xD I helped my sister who is in Form 4 now and those morning session students to sleep longer. Haha!

Okay, cut the crap. Saw the title of this post? Yeah, it may sound funny but dogs do hunt for roosters! I'm not joking!

This was the conversation between me and my mum this morning:
Me : Mum, i didn't sleep well lah last night. Our neighbour's dogs kept barking in the middle
of the night.
Mum: Oh? You slept until 10.30am still complaining ah? Oh ya! Talking about the dogs
reminded me of the incident that happened this morning while i was cleaning up the
kitchen.
Me : What incident? (still rubbing my eyes)
Mum: Our neighbour's dogs killed a rooster and ate it up!
Me : My goodness! Dogs ate a rooster?
Mum: Yeah, kampung rooster somemore.
Me : Hmm, cant blame the dogs lah. I guess they were too hungry.
Mum: True, he(my neighbour) has gone outstation for about a week already and there are no
food for all these dogs.

Our conversation ended and i went to take my shower. Can you imagine how hungry these dogs were? By the way, all these dogs were actually stray dogs and my neighbour takes them as his pets. He keeps all of them behind his house. It's not the kitchen, it's outside the house. He seldom feeds them. These dogs don't even have a proper shelter. Sometimes, he tied them up and sometimes he let them go freely to 'hunt' for their own food.

He usually ties them up at night. So when it rains at night and they are all tied up, they'll start to bark because they don't have a proper shelter to keep them from getting wet. This really disturbs the sleep of the neighbourhood here. Well, i must not blame the dogs but the owner. I hope he does something about it or he might get summoned by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Selangor(SPCA).

Dush!

2009-01-03T21:54:00.007+08:00

Dribbling, running, taking my steps and one, two, jump...... DUSH! Arghh...!
(that was how i fell during my basketball session with my friends this morning-it was like cicak man posing on the floor)

I got up with a cut on my left shoulder and the whole part of it turned blue black. Ohh, the feeling was terrible. Can you imagine a 85kg+187cm guy fell down and the only part that supported his whole body was his left shoulder? My goodness! Haha! I wasn't that clumsy okay, the court was so wet and slippery. xD The worst part was when i applied counter pain cream on my shoulder without realising that there was a cut there! Ouch!

And not to forget Soon Teck's elbow that made another part of my body turned blue black. Hey guys, it's not the part that you're thinking, it's my eyes. Haha!

After our basketball session, we bathed and headed straight to Aeon Bukit Tinggi. Had our lunch there in McD and watched Yes Man. The show was nice and funny. I think i laughed the most and the loudest in the cinema! =D

After movie, we walked around and Soon Teck went to APT for his hair cut. After his hair cut, we headed back home. Overall, it was a nice day for me and of course my friends too. =)

mooooo...
