It's OK, Mr Lee

Thou you lose, the Nation are still proud of you!!!

Yes you offer no excuse for the poor display but we Malaysians still remember how you put us through on Friday night, that gritting semifinals play that send us Malaysians into euphoria

I was, I was anticipating the GOLD from you & of course to hear our Nation’s anthem to be played is something I guess all Malaysians were hoping for.

All eyes sets on TV to watch Lee Chong Wei in action

But like the papers said, it was just not your day – he, Super DAN was quicker, fitter and faster!

Witnessing across on the TV sets, I think many Malaysians could feel the pressure you were facing and to trail by a high margin – no one would be on the right mental mind to not crack! You were calm but perhaps he was stronger and he pounced on you to make mistakes one after another.

And I liken this quote from a daily today which says : - “He never claimed his invincibility, He was never seeded number one – Lin Dan was top seed. He never promised the GOLD. He gave his best and ended up with a silver, not for want of trying. Simply put, it was not his day.”

Mr Lee with his SILVER medal

In the end, it’s OK, Mr Lee – we sang Negaraku eventho you were 2nd cause you have made us proud & we’re happy you put us in the medal tally count!

3 cheers for you…

080808

Lucky No.8? No of good fortune? The number 8, 8th day of the 8th month in year 2008. That’s three 8s in a row…

Apparently so, 8 which sounds like “FA” – meaning prosper or wealth. Many Chinese around the world normally has it that whatever associated with 8 would be a good thing. Often the case, it’s a DREAM no. associated by the rich or poor (on their mobile phones, password, atm pin, house no & etc).

But then of course, it’s CHINA’s BIG DAY today – ONE World ONE Dream (同一个世界, 同一个梦想), BEIJING 2008 OLYMPIC GAMES.


A significant day, triumph for all CHINESE mankind. The anticipation of CHINESE peoples all around the world (not just CHINA only) on the BEIJING 2008 OLYMPICS that will kick off on what I call it – what a day & time – 08.08.08 @ 8.08pm.

Official Mascot @ BEIJING 2008 OLYMPICS

And you asked what’s so great about this 08.08.08 @ 8.08pm after all? And you may asked why do these Chinese fellas always have this superstitious inclination in them that this number will surely bring prosperity, auspiciousness & wealth?

Oh well, auspicious or not, 08.08.08 @ 8.08pm will tell when BEIJING 2008 unleash it’s Olympic SPIRIT & POWER.

Now are you ready or not?

VIVA ESPANA!!!

Heart of Greed premieres today - ASTRO 311

Man, need I say more about this TVB movie? I’ve watched it and burn a copy of DVD for my safekeeping – I’ve lost count how many times I’ve cried and repeated the scenes in the show.

I’d say – watch it for yourselves if you haven’t see this movie as yet…

Heart wrenching relationships, family feud, greed, betrayal entails with never ending family and friendship support sums up this grit-warming movie!

RAYMOND LAM FUNG

Apparently, it’s also the reason why I’m so madly hook up with Raymond Lam after I watched it (so much show I granted myself the title of Mrs Lam – only in my own dreams, hehehe!)

I’m anticipating tonight’s premiere and I don’t mind watching it again – afterall it’s one of those best production in the recent years (well at least in my opinion)

To keep you inform, the Heart of Greed 2nd sequel is in its production now – and scheduled to be released in Aug / Sept 2008.

Ohh, I just can’t wait!!!

But what kind of ENDING?

Happy or sad, what kind of ending? We were just unable to answer each other…

I’m just so lost these few days thinking and thinking – my fault or his fault or our fault we dint gave this a serious thought? But I thought we have talk about it over and over again just that we didn’t seem to pay enough attention to it.

Why was I worried? Why was he so keen to know what was I thinking? It was about US!

And I thought – the obvious problem between US was we don’t seem to have a vision where we want to go or how we intend to let it grow over time. And I ask, but how?

In the end, it was only left to tears and heartache, as the answer lies within our own self. Don’t want to lose each other or unable to let go, it’s something I’m questioning myself – not so much of I don’t know but more of how and what we should compromise on…

Honesty not NECESSARILY the BEST POLICY

What did I just said to him? Our conversation was still going on pretty well until I told him that?

His reaction changed immediately and asked me what kind of reaction should he give me? All of a sudden, he became so quiet, quiet in his own thoughts…

I felt scared and worried, what will he think of me now? What's going thru his mind?
His voice tells me he’s unhappy and as a matter of fact, he actually minds.

I immediately sms Val to let her know what I told him, and it didn’t made me any better as she said that why were you so honest????? That’s a SERIOUS OFFENCE, good luck my fren.

Phew, but I always thought ‘Honesty is the Best Policy’ – but in this case, it doesn’t seems so.

I’m feeling extremely restless now. Perhaps there are things better left unsaid…

CHOOSE

Intensive battle by the ruling party against the oppositions – doubt you need any reminder to the big day @ 8 March 2008

Peoples all around will once again decide – FUTURE OF MALAYSIA!

A choice – one should choose wisely? Or can’t be bothered – Barisan Nasional will win like it or not! And they are echoing us Malaysians to vote for a stronger voice in parliament or bigger representation in the CABINET.

Hmmmm and I thought. For me, I do not think BN would have it easily this time. I don’t reckon they would win by 2/3 majority like they did in the last general election.

Simply because – THEY ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH FOR THE COUNTRY!

For me the last four year rule – is a story of economy mismanagement, extremely poor public service performance that sucks big time, RAMPANT CORRUPTION, rising crime rate and unemployment, inflation, wasteful public expenditure and a humiliating judicial scandal.

So need I say more? Only you decide how intense and fiery tomorrow’s voting will be, that will shape and see us thru another 5 years ordeal.

It’s your CHOICE…

Just that ONCE in 4 years

29 February – another extra day this year that maketh this 366 days to the year. Anything special happen so far yet today? Nah!

Guess those who’re born today would have a helluva night celebrating it – especially it only occur once every 4 years…

As for me, it’s just another typical day as we hit the end of the 2nd month and there comes MARCH tomorrow.

How time flies, phew! Significant or not, this extra day is something everyone should take pleasure in

Happy 29 February 2008!

OUCH, that's a DOUBLE BLOW

3rd min into the match and that horrific tackle – all but left Eduardo out for the rest of the season. And you ask, how bad it could be? A broken & twisted ankle and carried off the stretcher?

I watch the replay and could only see picture of worried, nervous, and terrified plastered on faces of the Arsenal players – praying and hoping in unison that Eduardo was all right.

Fabregas, 1st player to arrive next to Eduardo

And to add salt to injury, Birmingham ends the match with a 2-2 draw to only suggests my team’s incapability to stupidly hand in the penalty at the very FUXING last minute which got me so annoyed, mad and livid.

Now that’s not so nice with 2 pts dropped and bad especially fucking MOANERS got to a 5-1 off Newcastle on the same night

Ouch, what a disappointing and painful night…

Edison & his SEX obsession

Who’s the hottest fella in town right now? Who hasn’t seen it? My eyes almost dropped off after seeing those pictures. Nuff said! A simple laptop repair job turned into a controversial scandalous talk of the town – pictures in compromising positions, splashed all over the Internet.

And the willing participants –

a) Gillian Chung (Twins quartet) – still trying to act innocent
b) Cecilia Cheung (not surprised at all)
c) Bobo Chen
d) Mandy Chen
e) Vincy Yeung
f) Candice Chan
g) Rachel Ngan

Oh well, he apologized last week and chosen to leave the HK entertainment, but next question is for how long? For good? Below are excerpts of Edison’s statement worth pondering :-

“Today I have come back to Hong Kong to stand before you and account for myself. I have never escaped from my responsibility. I admit that most of the photos being circulated on the Internet were taken by me. But these photos are very private and have not been shown to people and are never intended to be shown to anyone. These photos were stolen from me illegally and distributed without my consent.

This matter has deteriorated to the extent that society as a whole has been affected by this. In this regard, I am deeply saddened. I would like now to apologize to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused and the problems that have arisen from this. I would like to apologize to all the ladies and to all their families for any harm or hurt that they have been feeling. I am sorry.

I hope, after today, I can have your forgiveness. With regard to this case, with everything, everything that has happened, I am deeply sorry. I hope you all accept my apology and give me a chance.”

Is he really SORRY for the fact? According to a website, he din’t seem to appear so and of course, latest developments reveals that he’s now suspected of leaking the pictures himself.

Oh well, as an outsider – I can only say so much and I thought over it, who are we to judge? My sympathies are to the willing ladies whom have to now salvage their existing relationships or even marriages (think I’ve lost count how many womens had their weddings cancelled) as a result of this scandal.

Let’s just sit and see what else unfolds…

Gong Xi Fa Cai - 2008

Gong Hei, Gong Hei - Gong Hei Fatt Choy!!!

Today @ 1st Day of CNY - Year of the RAT, woo hoo, whats the first thing on mind? Gong Hei Fatt Choy, Hong Bao Na Lai lo! :)

Just had the morning brekkie with family and now moments away from going back to kampung (whereelse - Genting Highlands la) - all hands are itchy and eager to get our hands on GAMBLINGGGG

Got 3 angpows so far, will be away for few days, wish me luck,k! Catch up again and see how i fare in the year of RAT this year...

That ONE moment...

It was your 1st time last night
I could see the anticipation on your face
Your were full of enthusiasm & eagerness
As we both sat close to each other

You sang your heart out
I sang my heart out
Like 2 young adults
As we immersed deep into our own world of thoughts…

And the time you were waiting for whole night arrives
He sang, he sang your song
It happen to be your favourite song
I could see your face was a picture of gladness

I could feel it on my hand
As you turn & face me
The tears were flowing
I was stunned

Wanted so much to wipe the tears off
It must be something close to your heart
I wonder what’s going thru your mind
Only you should have known

You held my hand tight
Our heads joined
You wish that moment would not end
And I was GLAD – we spent that moment together

I'm UNIQUE

Im not in the mood these few days, just vulnerable and Im losing in my own senses...

Until I read the following article :-

In case you're feeling down, overwhelmed, helpless, invisible, depressed or sad: don't forget...You are unique. God created no one else like you. You are the only person alive like you; there's never before been someone with your special mix of history, humor, and dreams, and there never will be someone just like you ever again. You are special. Whether you see it or not. You are a unique creation of God, placed on this earth for a reason. It's your life's job to find out why you're here and to carry out that purpose in your own special way.

Create some new personal history today. Do something entirely different and special. Reflect your uniqueness today, in active participation. Instead of watching TV, write a poem. Instead of just going along with someone else's idea, create one of your own. Have an opinion, make a statement about a problem you're concerned about. Instead of resting all day, wrestle with learning something you have always wanted to know more about.

I felt better after reading about the above – yes, everyone's special in their own way, and yes eventhou I'm feeling sad and depressed now – I'm UNIQUE in my own way and there's no one else like me.

Today message – In Dreams & In Love, there's no IMPOSSIBILITIES

3 Days to 29

Time passes by so fast – 1st post of the year and here I am counting days to my big day, arghh what – turning 29 la what else!

Getting old, getting old man…

Scary thought, Adelyn reminded me – I’ve four days to go on my countdown to new year party and Kai Ma reminded me again today – 3 days to 29, that’s why I thought I better blog this before I say bye bye to 28.

What do I wish for? Got my first pressie from my Kai Ma, went for a bag huntdown at the Curve on Sunday. It was a nice outing – haven’t been doing that for a long time. Got myself a nice nice turquoise bag (thanksie, muaks muaks kai ma!)

What do I wish for, hmm hmmm hmmmm? Keep on reading, ill let you know when the day comes

The UNKNOWN effect

It was Christmas, so eager to see you
Managed a glimpse of you as you were busy working
I waited but left you with a lunchie & Christmas gift
I couldn't speak much with you last night

A quiet Christmas day, we didn't spoke
No calls, no sms from you today (I'm wondering)
Hmm, are you too busy or too tired? I don't know
Somehow, somewhere – this bitter feeling

Recently, it was all short & brief
I'm just speechless on many occasions
Don't know what to talk, don't know what to ask
I'm thinking - how and where should we begin?

Sigh, I know – don't EXPECT (rule of thumb) :( ...

All I want for CHRISTMAS

Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new born king. This the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la

Xmas is coming soon, done your Christmas shopping yet? Those Christmas décors, trees and setup at major malls are just awesome. How I wish I was just a little kid, having my own Christmas Wonderland – ha ha, fast forward 28 years, Im the one standing at one side looking at all these kids having one hell of a good time.

And Christmas would not be complete without pressies, yes – PRESSIES!!! All I want for Christmas is – hmm, seems so easy but hard to figure out. I was just clueless when a close friend asked me what I want for Christmas (ermm, maybe Santa Clause?)

All I want for Christmas – World Peace & Stay Happy always, nuff said! Happy Birthday, Jesus and a blessed Christmas to everyone...

LOVE from the DISTANCE

How much patience does one need in loving that someone from afar? How come the feeling is ol' so similar? Sigh, tell me bout long distance love yeah

The cool & hot of it – are WE or are WE NOT? But we seem so REAL, so CLOSE, so REASSURING

It seems, it seems SO - but the heart & the mind doesn't seem to say the same & I'm aching in PAIN and loneliness creeps in.

I wonder how much, just how much can I hang on to this. I don't want this kind of distance, I want to be just right there

(I'm contemplating now – love me, love me not, love me, love me not, LOVE me )

Move aside, MOANERS...

Woo hoo, sweat man! Last minute drama at Emirates…

I was like- gonna off my phone man or else the amount of sms or response ill get from these MU kaki’s – you bet, appaling

2-2 draw, it was 2-1 at 82 mins when that basket RONALDO scored, I was like darn it – of all players and of all team, the worst is to lose to this bunch of basket POSERS.

After last week draw at Anfield which also came to a stalemate of 1-1, I was expecting nothing short since we made a clean double over them last season, home and away.

And it was Fabregas again, just tremendous! It was the last minute drama that sums it up-Gallas 90th minute goal, that kept them these MOANERS mouth shut.

End result, a pleasant & peaceful sleep. Way to go…

REDBOX - Banned

Banned Banned banned, RM 48++ for this kinda quality of foods and singing system? Lucky that we only paid for one headcharge as I have a free voucher but no amount of free voucher would bring me back there again.

Really can’t comprehend how REDBOX can be so bad nowadays, certainly no match to the current leading karaoke outlet in KL, Neway.

I still remember Redbox Karaoke used to be one of the more famous one but lately, their service coupled with their system is enough to leave one out. Both me and Belle Jie were cursing the minute we saw the F & B foodline and worst was the sound system sucks big time.

We sang but it was a real forceful one till we came out (and decided that we will never step foot at Red Box again). The worst was to come out from karaoke with our singing obsession not fulfilled

REDBOX's - BANNED on my list…

DIRECT - All the way, GIRL

Go straight to the point, girl! Don’t beat around the bush

That was what my daddy told me this morn during our breakfast session at the mamak as we spoke of my current issues surrounding my work environment. Err, jumping around topics and not going to the point? Or beating around the bush?

Im just thinking, thinking, thinking DEEP in my thoughts…

Am I or am I not? The thought did not once left my subconscious mind eventhough I was sop up with my never-ending meetings & stack of jobs on hand

I don’t think I can afford to not go STRAIGHT to the point now with my current position, I certainly got to know and aware clearly what the HELL I do, I say and how I carry myself (not an easy task now having 6 ppls reporting to me and not having a clue)

And as I go round and round with this in mind, it’ll certainly be a real penny for thought!
