重來 Chong Lai - 黃小琥 Tiger Huang

quote of the day

Extreme love and protection from the parents can eventually turn their kids into some useless, dependent and ignorant persons

thoughts tonight

- Ask, ask, and ask until you get the information that you need. If not don’t you ever go back to the office.

- I am not good yet but I will work harder to be good.

- It’s an achievement if the office didn’t call you after you finish work. If they do, means there are problems with your stories.

- When you are happy, laugh it out. When you are sad, cry it out.

- Do what you like. Like what you do.

- Life brief candle. Kalau ada umur panjang, bolehlah jumpa di masa hadapan.

- Religion for me is just about where you go after you die.

- Feels good to see or to listen to some good friends or people that have made a deep presence or impact in your life after so long.


- I may have hight tolerance but definitely not patience. 


- How you handle your emotions and react to people at home will reflect on your behaviour out there. 


- If you are bad to people, don't expect people to be nice to you. 

a piece of history

Batu Ferringgi Beach of Penang once upon a time. This is how a film negative looks like in the olden days. =p

my biggest junk

Jeng jeng jeng!

Oh my! My mum is so gona throw it away and then throw me away too.

She’ll be so surprised when she sees this.

This is the biggest junk I ever bought.

Eh nice what.

Oh this makes me so happy.

Fikirkan Boleh

Hei people!

Remember this song??

=p

what is patriotism?

Patriotism is when millions of Malaysians no matter who they are, what they do n where they are, come together to cheer, pray n support the one and only team, Malaysia in any sports event. And when Negaraku is sang, the sense of belonging gets thicker, our souls are awaken, hairs all standing up and for that one moment, we are not Chinese Indian Malay Iban Eurasians Sikh Siam Kadazan or Orang Asli, we are all Malaysians. 

randomly about love

If bo ngam, change lo. Why wana force or lie to yourself that you can accept it? Be true to yourself.. You'll be happier..

Pantun by Zainal Abidin

Another beautiful and soulful song from my all-time favourite green singer Zainal Abidin.

This 'Pantun' is one of the soundtracks in the local movie, Sepi, produced by Khabir Bhatia. 

Never heard of the movie? It's ok, go search for it. You'll like it.

Zainal's songs are full of inspirations and lessons.

The lyrics are beautifully written with environment, humanitarian, love and social messages. 

Its music is soothing and worldly.

I LOVE WORLD MUSIC!

You may heard of his well-known song, Hijau.

Ok let's sing together.

I can sing too. =p

Hey! eeeeeeeeewaaaaaaaaaaaa. auuuuuuuuu auuuuuuuuu. yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ya! hei! hak! hok!

Lyrics below:

Alam hanya sementara

buana biru belentara

salah orang nampak ketara

kalah kita tak bersuara

Laut biru bertukar warna

rumpai karang tidak bernyawa

udang berarak tidak bermaya

imbangan alam dah tiada

c/o:

Tidak terkata rasa sayangnya

bumi dipijak rasa bahangnya

tidak terkata, tidak terkata

kalau boleh bersama kita pelihara

dunia bahagia hidup baru selesa

lambat ia binasa hidup lebih lama

hidup lebih lama.. yeyaa..

Dulu ikan senang dijala

penyu singgah berduyun-duyun

kini sudah menjadi bencana

usah dibawa turun temurun

Apa ada harus dijaga

hasil bumi berkurang pula

senang kita senang sekarang

esok lusa padah bermula

c/o:

Tidak terkata rasa sayangnya

bumi dipijak rasa bahangnya

tidak terkata, tidak terkata

kalau boleh bersama kita pelihara

dunia bahagia hidup baru selesa

lambat ia binasa hidup lebih lama

hidup lebih lama.. yeyaa.. lalalala hey..

tear gas fired!

Tear gas fired at Bersih 3.0 

Happy Wesak Day

It’s Wesak Day again today.

I don’t know why but every year, when Wesak Day is here, I will feel certain kind of calmness and peace.

It’s the spiritual feeling that hard to describe.

I’m glad I’m off today May 5 on Wesak Day. Coincidently today marks my second month of working in the media.

So what’s the plan today? As usual I wake up late. Then I’ll go to temples to pray, get free vegetarian good and Dhamma books.

I think I’ll go to a few temples to take pictures as well since I haven’t send my camera for repair yet.

The finale of Wesak will be the grand procession tonight from the Malaysian Buddhist Association at Burma Road.

I’ve never missed the procession ever since I started watching it as a kid then volunteered as a first aider during secondary school.

Not to forget, the prayers I will be making for my grandparents, parents, siblings, girlfriend, friends, Malaysia and the world.

Anyway, I hope with this Wesak Day, everyone will be blessed and the country will be peaceful again. No more violence anymore. We may not have wars with other countries or terrorists, but we have conflicts between its people and the government. May the evils are back to the track and be good again.

Happy Wesak Day.

*There will be traffic jams everywhere. So plan your route. Penangites stay at home if you don't wana be pissed. Or you can always use bike like me. Save time and cheaper. hahaha.*

I, am angry too!

Of all peaceful rallies, peaceful protests, peaceful assemblies and gatherings I’ve attended, I always keep in mind that I might be thrown into the police truck and I must not fear of it as I know what I believe in. It crossed my mind to be arrested one day, just because the government doesn’t like people who have a different point of view than them. Close friends even have a thought that one day I will sure be locked up and enjoy ‘nasi kari’ behind the cells. Although sometimes I chicken out, but until this moment, I still open up my heart and mind for the possibility  to feel the moment of being arrested wrongfully for the cause I’m fighting for. In Malaysia, everything is possible. Because we simply can.

Malaysia Boleh!

The black can be white and the white can be black.

Yang putih boleh dihitamkan, yang hitam boleh diputihkan.

Today nothing saddened me the most than knowing a friend of mine, a junior of mine got arrested in the recent Bersih 3.0 rally.

WHY! She did nothing wrong. She’s a lady. She was harmless. She was weaponless. She was helping those injured.  She’s a Malaysian.

You, who are reading this, before you start condemning and criticizing, what have you done to make your surrounding better for the people?

I know the taste, smell and sound of tear gas and water cannon being shot. I felt it.

I was lucky to escaped from the bashing of Bersih 3.0.

I am so angry for the unfairness and violence the government has done to its people.

I am angry that good people being victimized but the bad guys are on the loose.

I am angry a friend got arrested before I do.

I am angry for treated like a foreigner in my own country.

I am angry because the government has failed us.

I love this country too..

As I believe, there is still hope. There's still better tomorrow. 

bila bapak tamak

Alkisah bapa yang bertangan berkaki dan bekerja memaksa anaknya yang bergaji rendah memberinya wang bulanan tinggi menggunung. Oh malu tidak tahu dieja agaknya.


ya ia satu kewajipan anak memberi wang bulanan kepada mak bapak sebagai datu bentuk kasih sayang dan untuk membalas budi. 


tapi bukan sampai tahap bapak memaksa anknya memberi lebih wang daripada kemampuannya.


bila bapak tamak..


hodohlah ceritanya.

bila yang sepatutnya baik menjadi jahat

Gengster sekarang bukan takat yang buka rumah pelacur, jual DVD cetak rompak ataupun nak culik orang. Gengster paling besar sekarang ni ialah si pemakai uniform biru tua yang pukul orang sesuka hati termasuklah media. Merekalah antara manusia terjijik, terkotor terjahanam pernah ku jumpa. Totally no respect for u, except uncle police who control the traffic.

Ya bukan semua polis jahat dan kotor.

Pernah ku jumpa polis yang mesra, baik, dan membantu.

Tapi sekarang di mata dunia, anda memang sudah kotor.

Budaya dalaman mu sukar diubah.

Bila gila, kamu memukul macam hantu diserang histeria.

Hari ke hari, nama mu busuk merata dunia.

Reputasi mu jatuh di mata Malaysians.

Mungkin anda hanya harum di kalangan orang-orang mu.

Keamanan negara bukan terletak lagi di tangan mereka. 

Kepercayaan terhakis. 

Kezaliman terbukti. 

Keraajan kalau kotor, 

masakan orang-orang bawahannya. 

Bangkit rakyat bangkit. 

Negara aman, rakyat selamat. 

Hanya satu caranya, undi. 

Undilah parti alternatif. 

Yang buruk, yang kotor, yang jahat, yang zalim, yang hina, yang binatang, yang lama, yang korup, yang kroni, yang racis, yang seksis, yang bodoh semua kita buang.

Saya suka guna benda bersih, dan saya akan guna sabun baru yang lebih bersih walaupun saya sedar suatu hari nanti sabun itu mungkin tidak sebersih dulu, tapi tidak salah untuk mencuba dan memberi peluang kepada harapan baru.

kepada mak bapak semua

kalau nak ada anak, jagalah baik baik, didiklah sepenuh hati. anak kecik manja bila dah besar baru nak kawal, dah lambat la. duit tu sampai mati pun untung tak hbs, masa dgn family yg penting. apalah gunanya sampai anak satu per satu benci kat u? semuanya karma. apa yg u buat kat org hari ni, esok org akan buat kat kamu. mungkin orang boleh memaafkan tapi bukan semua perkara boleh dilupakan.

Mei sudah tiba

Bulan separa yang cerah itu semakin hilang dimamah awan, menandakan sudah tiba masanya untuk tidur, bagaikan memberi isyarat bulan April sudah tiba ke penghujungnya, esok, bermulanya bulan Mei, akan menjadi hari yang lebih baik dari yang sebelumnya. 

true photographer

A true photographer always goes all out to get the best shot, even if the only camera he has spoiled. And most of the time, the images are more important than his own life. Even if he’s facing bullets, tear gas, water cannon, wild animals, fire, or ocean.


Hats off to these photographers.

countless people at Bersih 3.0

Ok i lost count. 

Maybe the mainstream media are good in counting, and you can trust their figures?

This is just the crowd at the street from Pudu to Dataran Merdeka, not including other places around Dataran Merdeka yet.

How about the other cities in Malaysia and around the world?

As usual la, whatever the media reported are always different and sometimes contradict with what we saw, heard and experienced live from the scene. 

In this case, Bersih 2.0 and 3.0. 

But I believe there are so many other news alternatives. People are not stupid, don’t they? =p

tips for peaceful assemblies' participants

URGENT AND IMPORTANT

So I heard some people are going to Bersih 3.0 is it? Ooo very dangerous one you know? You never been there before? First time participate?

I pun dengar cakap ada 6 tempat berkumpul esok 1. P Seni, 2. Masjid Negara, 3. Masjid India, 4. Jalan Sultan, 5. KLCC, 6. Brickfields.7. Petaling Street. 8. Sogo.

Oh I see.. It’s ok, let me share share some tips with you.

Firstly before you so anything, pray sincerely and ask for blessing, if your intention is true.

You must eat first so that you have the energy to walk, run, shout and sit.

Always inform a people that you trust that you are going to the peaceful assembly.

MAKE SURE your hp got credit and battery so that you can make and receive calls.

Save the important numbers of lawyers or human rights NGOs in case you are caught! haha!

Never wear expensive watch, accessories or jewelleries.

Wear light and not loose undergarments. Shameful malu ooo if suddenly it fell off.

Chit chat and be friends with strangers.

Gel up your hair so that girls will look at you.

Girls please don’t put up thick make up, you’ll be sweating and you don’t want to look like….

Please put on perfume because your bau ketiak yang busuk can make people faint.

Bring some chewing gums or sweets along in case you are hungry.

Don’t you ever dirty the place. Carry your sampah home or throw it only into the dustbin!

Don’t walk alone, be in a group.

Please don’t curse or maki hamun people.

Study the map carefully so that you won’t be trapped in case FRU shoot teargas and water cannon.

NEVER EVER forget to bring salt.

Read the do’s and don’ts from the organizer.

Get the latest updates on the event.

Lastly, bring as little unuseful and unnecessarily things as you can la because it’s hard to run around with heavy beg.

Anyway I say only la. I’m not asking you to join ya. Anything, you don’t come and find me.

apa salah, apa takut?

DiBiKL Apalah salahnya beribu rakyat berbilang bangsa agama jantina umur destinasi dan taraf hidup ingin duduk di Dataran Merdeka yang agung ini dengan aman dan damai tanpa senjata sehingga kau melayan mereka bagaikan pengganas dengan menggari seluruh padang dan jalan-jalan yang berkaitan? Apakah yang anda takutkan?

quote of the day

Just do what you have to do and do your very best.

我要学華語

I am a bananaman.

WHY SO?!

Because I'm a Chinese but I can't read Chinese.

I feel really ashame of myself.

Malu besar, kemaluan tak besar sangat lah..

anyway..

Language or mother tongue is the pride of your people and your root.

What is it to be a Chinese but you can't read Chinese?

Ok i am not that bad la, at least i can speak and understand Chinese language and I know about the history of Chinese, our cultures, beliefs, practices, taboos and so on.

Some even worse, they duno anything about themselves and they proudly speaking like the British.

Okla nothing is wrong but i feel as a Chinese, Malay, Indian, Iban or Penan, you MUST know your own mother tongue.

I learnt the language before in primary school during kelas tambahan, but the 1 hour lesson few days a week is just not enough.

Now i forgot everything i learnt.

Thanks to my sister, girlpren and thanks to UTAR, i can speak mandarin fluently.

But of course i don't understand the Chinese canggih words.

Now i want to learn to write and read. I'm 24 this year, not so old if we have the will to do it.

Google Translate can be handy at times but it sucks man!

SOmetimes u just duno what the heck it says.

Like now, i want to translate 'i want to learn Chinese language/mandarin' also so problematic.

I have to translate word by word and then verify it with certain websites.

aduih.. bodoh betul aku.

Language is so beautiful when it's able to connect people around the globe.

By the way my name is  胡进荣

saja je share..

This is just a humble REMINDER!

ok, humble.. and sincere reminder. sorry if you can't take it.

Kawan-kawan, jgn gatai sgt ingat  glamor sangat duk add n approve semua orang. U kenal sgt ke dia org tu? Ada org rambut hitam tapi hati lagi busuk dan kotor dari sampah. Jaga-jaga syaitan depan mata susah nak tgk. Nanti kena makan pun u masih bodoh-bodoh taktau.

happy birthday Ah Kong

quote of the day

Life after studying is about acting. Don't reveal urself too much. Only the toughest and smartest will survive.

Sedangkan rambut orang kita pun bukan lagi hitam, apatah lagi hati sanubari. =p

REMEMBER that OCE

 "Oh Chin Eng is cheerful." 

How you know? You must say Oh Chin Eng is smiling happily, burst into laughters, jumping for joy etc. You are not that person, you don’t know how that person feeling inside. 

REMEMBER: specific, networks, dare to ask, sharp mind, more details, accuracy, timeliness.

my holiao camera

Well, what i can say is, don’t you look down on my capalang manual-focus DSLR with satay stick as the button together with a plaster on it.

Don’t play play, holiao till khisiao. Only the pro knows how to handle such a complicated machine ok.

It may be not as expensive as yours or not like the grand brand you are talking about. Who cares! I still take marvelous shots that touch the hearts. Can you?

My camera masuk hutan, masuk gua, masuk laut, masuk kubur, masuk segala tempat yang boleh masuk, tangkap segala benda yang boleh ditangkap and it’s still standing!

It's the best camera ever! wahaha!

joy as easy as 1 2 3

Hohoho I am happy and I wana tell the world!

Today I’m off, not working. I didn’t go anywhere. Just stay at home, do houseworks until I felt so dull. I need an escapade or timeout. Beh tahan.. so I went out at about 6pm.

Where I went? Where else!! ‘Pasar Pencuri’ or the ‘Thieves Market’ as they call it la. That’s my shopping centre located at Armenian Street.

That’s where I get my happiness besides than seeing old people smiling.

I like observing different people going by.

Then something caught my attention. I saw a babychair. Yes babychair may seem nothing to you but I tell you, this babychair is made of steel. It’s an old babychair. Tell me where have you seen a steel babychair before? All we know it’s made of plastic.

This is rare!!

But you how much is it? RM40! Damn! This guy knows the value of it. Arrghhh! Where to korek RM40. I have the money but I was so reluctant to buy it at such a high price. My eyes were wild looking for the presence of a tattoo man. He’s rich. He collects antiques and his old shophouse has nothing but antiques and only antiques. I couldn’t let this chair slip into his hands.

I went to check out other stuffs there. After a while, the chair was still there. Well, I had to do what I had to do.

BARGAIN!

I asked for RM20. No. At the end, I brought out my cash. I had a total of RM29. I forced him to accept RM20. I said that’s all I have. Cilakak he said I should bring more money if I want to shop. Zzz.. Well, I pushed for RM20 again. At the end, cincaila I gave him another RM4 and I said let me keep the balance for petrol.

DEAL! Now the steel babychair is mine. I bought it for RM24! =p

I felt like I’m the happiest person on earth that I got a junk for a cheaper price. Most importantly I managed to get it before the rich tattoo man.

The secret is you have to show that you are poor and you really want it. But don’t go overboard la. they still need to make a living. If you think your price is reasonable, dare to spill it. If the seller says no, you walk away, they will call you back. If still cannot, okla you have to be nice and sweet. This way works when you deal with ladies. Hehehehe.

I must tell Pei Suang that I got a good deal again!

Yes I collect antiques and collectible items. Come give your junks, rubbish n sampah to me if you wana throw it away.

On the way home, it started to rain.

Guess what, I saw DOUBLE rainbow! Double!  As It rain heavily, I had to rush home, but I managed to snap a few shots.

I’m easily touched, easily get excited, easily be happy. I am satisfied with small little things.

Nyeh nyeh nyeh, at the end of the day, di sebalik hujan lebat, kilat sabung-menyabung, guruh berdentum, rebut petir, ada pelangi warna warni, there’s blessing, there’s a pot of colourful candies for you. =p

There’s a blessing in disguise.

Joy is being simple. Joy is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

*mum is sure gona nag me if she sees this rubbish!*

quote of the day

No matter how little is your salary, donate some to the needy, as there are more people out there who need some empathy more than you thought.
