ahhh July 20 in Penang

QUOTE of the day

When your friend is not acting like a friend anymore, you unfriend them.

Belief - Malaysian Olympic team PSA by Samsung

"Belief is a powerful thing. It never lets you quit."

 You see the words, you watch the video, tell me how to not be touched? good lah u Ah Sam.

This is the latest public service announcement by Samsung on TV.


It is made specially for our Malaysia Olympic team. 

What makes it stand out is that it is so inspiring and motivating.

It touches my heart that I’m now inclined to get a Samsung smartphone instead of HTC.

Oh no media influence.

lawak Malaysia

Apa yang itu kera-jaan takut sangat sampai warganegara yang tinggal atau kerja kat luar negara tak boleh nak undi dalam pilihan raya? Takut mereka ni tak vote u kah? 

Malaysia ni kadang2 boleh buat anda gelak sampai muntah darah. Kalau filem dibuat oleh orang Malaysia, dishoot dalam Malaysia tapi tak guna Bahasa Malaysia, filem tu bukan filem tempatan. 

Kalau asyik nak syiok sendiri, kasi habuan kat orang sendiri, nak copycat, eh u all tak ke mana la. Patutlah Malaysians hebat semua nak cabut. Dah bumi sendiri tak nak recognize ur talents, takkan nak mati kat sini? 


Orang sendiri buat salah, tapi yang kena adalah orang yang mendedahkan kesalahan si cilaka. 

Takat nak kibar bendera time Merdeka baru dikatakan patriotik, bunuh diri terjun dari KLCC pun boleh dikira patriotik la beb! 


Cakap tak serupa bikin. Chui kong LAMPHA song. 

Hipokrit tahap maksimum politikus Malaysia. 

SALUTE!

'Beng Hock'

Most of us have heard of Teoh Beng Hock. If you don’t, u must b living in the tempurung kelapa. But it’s ok now u can know more about the whole drama on how he’s being interrogated and finally died at the MACC’s building. Head to PenangPAC in Straits Quay tonite at 8.30pm for the last show of ‘Beng Hock’. It’s a must watch show!

kata-kata hikmat

Idea singgah bila-bila masa tapi inspirasi hanya timbul kala malam menjelma, kemudian pergi sebelum matahari terbit.


*i'm a night person*

stage satisfaction

The highest satisfaction of performing on the stage or live on the street is the cheers, thunderous claps and the audience wide smiles that you’ll remember for long, something that you don’t get everyday. That is priceless, more valuable than the money u earn from the show. =p

*oh how i miss performing again...*

kids nowadays..

I feel kids nowadays are so fortunate. They get what they want and they have more than what they need. It makes them don’t appreciate the little things and hard-earned money. Last time, we were given about RM1 to school. I’ll make sure I keep some in my tabung everyday. Once a while, I’ll count my syiling and eager waiting for it to grow even more. I picked up even 1cents. If not my banks where got money??

Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up

lama dan baru

Yang lama kalau tak buang, mana ada tempat untuk yang baru. Ada kalanya, yang lama tidak bermaksud yg terbaik. Jangan disimpan segala yang sudah berlalu, barulah ada ruang kepada perkara yang akan mendatang. Berilah peluang kepada yang baru. Lihat ke depan, barulah hidup lebih segar dan bermakna.

love

This is what I promised you, I'll be there at times when you need me most, even if you are far away.

what a friend..

Well, you go to your so-called friends when you need their help. But at normal times, do you even say hie to them? NO! So why being so hypocrite? If you consider someone as your friend, show some concern on their lives, not when you need them in your life. 

Don't Give Up!

Inspired to share this. You see, plants big or small can still grow even by the roadside, rooftop, drain and in the extreme places. What they need is just some water and sunrise. Same goes to human. We should not give up when we face challenges, even if the world is not by your side. Keep going and work harder, sooner or later, you'll be what you wanted to be. It's all in your mind and heart.

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..

QUOTE of the day

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 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.
