When I am 64......

2007-02-08T16:18:00.000-08:00

"Any man who concentrates his energies totally on one passion is, by definition, someone who hurts the people close to him".

Have you thought of what you will have achieved by the age of 64 when your balls are nothing but wrinkly? You might not want to think how fast time has really flied. When I was reading this article by a very wise man Arsene Wenger, I thought wow.. he has the edge and philosophy over many people I respect. The insightfuls of the his thoughts were much more than what football has to offer but mind blowing.

Stinking Hot!

2007-02-05T20:44:00.000-08:00

Short: What was your favourite moment of CNY? This one climbing up the chart, for me at least...

This summer has nothing short of being HOT! yeah... I mean it is really hot. The unpredictable but rather laughable weather ranging from one day heating up to 41 degrees then dropping like an elephant to 27 the next day. WA being one of the hottest place on the globe? you bet! weather ahhh~ weather, how many times have you done us more than 40 this summer...... sighin'~~~~

Recognition

2007-01-15T04:14:00.000-08:00

There may be time in life where things just inevitably turn against you. It is like worries never seem too short to get you one and another, but it is also like the same damn thing coming over and over again. Don't be afraid of handling your outmost endeavours only be worried where they don't achieve recognition by its own means. Don't take it lightly with the people who have helped you along the way...... need to be kind & generous. Your beautiful heart should be in reconciliation to your family, it is where it should begin with.

Congratulation!

2006-12-27T03:50:00.000-08:00

Short: True love is your soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another.

It is today that your wedding which I cannot attend. Mate, I just want to congratulate that you have finally found your life-long soulmate whom you will spend the rest of your life with. It is my regrets that I won't be there but with your wedding taking place at the other end is truly felt with my heart from here.

Borneo

2006-12-19T17:01:00.000-08:00

Short: Second post in a day within an hour, actually I am quite 'busy' at work.

Sabah formerly known as Borneo has been found as one of the oldest and only remaining rain forest in the World.

"The remote and inaccessible forests in the Heart of Borneo are one of the world's final frontiers for science”.

It is nice to find out the place that we have lived for most of our life embraces one of the richest if not the richest natural resource for the scientists.

It is no wonder that some of our ‘west’ Malaysian pals would refer us as dwelling on the trees and finding our subsistence through hunting even rowing a board to another continent as such. How highly educated they are no offence though.

Red Card

So you reckon the a player ever get three yellow card in a match (a big World Cup match - Croati vs. Australia) is rediculous? Well, some might argue it is for the controversial Graham Poll who refereed that match that caused on the spotlight. What would you say a player getting three RED CARDS!?!?!?!??!

And of course you just cannot mention without with the following two monsters:

On 12th December 2006, two heavyweights clash of titan between Chelsea and Arsenal. The youthful side of Arsenal have made the mutlimillion-packed Chelsea look pretty ordinary, haven't they? Forget about the mind game, Cole-Gallas situation, or even the result. The highlight of the game should go to the idiotic acts between Lehman and Drogba. Even Arsene Wenger said it is too good not to label as "Comedy".

A Strange Fact Revealed

2006-11-30T22:21:00.000-08:00

The current World Cup 2006 winner in Germany is – Italy. The colour of jersey they were wearing while playing against France was blue – home team colour…….

The rotation of wearing a specific colour in a professional football match is that if two teams have the same official colour, the host will get to wear their traditional colour and the visitor will wear their away colour unless the colour of their home jersey is a different one as opposed to the host’s. Of course, this does not always happen but hard to give rise to variance as well. Which team would get to wear their home jersey if both teams play each other on a neutral ground? The definitive answer is beyond an ordinary man knowledge; a fair call should be made by coin-tossing-like process.

A more telling hard fact as mentioned above should be made reference to recent European big football stages. A football fan should not be too unfamiliar with one of the most if not the most unlikely final triumph – 2005 Champion League eventual winner Liverpool, on that night in Istanbul Liverpool were wearing red; the club traditional colour. On the counter end, AC Milan were on white; their away jersey. Approximately one year later, Barcelona and Arsenal both play each other for the same European trophy, Barcelona emerged victorious on that occasions. The night on Paris Barcelona were wearing red and blue, their club official colour and Arsenal were in yellow; their seasonal away shirt.

Now let’s rewind the clock back to 2004 Champion League final between Porto FC vs Monaco, the winner was Porto who was wearing its own official colour – blue and white. Still not convinced? What about the Manchester United’s famous trebles? On the road to completing their last and third trophy was the Champion League in 1999. So there they were achieving an undeniably successful feast wearing their traditional colour red and the one missing out that night was Bayern Munich who wore its away colour – white.

Back to World Cup stages, Brazil, France, and again Brazil all won in 1994, 1998, & 2002 respectively, wearing their respective traditional home colour though their counterpart had theirs as well.

Coincidence or conspiracy?

When someone says if you are a backward thinker you will be slowing your forward-looking process. All I am trying to say is if you are a nostalgic person, you tend to get content with what you have but might stall on your very growth. Still doesn’t make sense. It is okay and you will when you come to feel that you’ve grown older. Maybe when you can taste the sense of being in your manhood.

Received a message from an old buddy last night, and my cell phone screen read……..
“Time and tide wait for no one; still remember we were 17th years old? Cherish everything belongs to you….”

Childhood minus One

Looking the size of mine now does not really tell how ‘tiny’, em… correction, skinny I was before does it? I was a big bully when I was a troubling teenage. Well, it is true to some extent, actually I was not a bully but I was bullied all the times when back in secondary school. Believe it or not all guys back in high school just want to be tai lou (big brother), little to my surprise it was all due to the ‘good work’ past through from HK firms – Young & Dangerous. Doesn’t that ring he bell? The firms went so overwhelmingly busting in mid & late 90s.

If you were born in early 80s, you would grow up watching Tai Si Toi and listening to Beyond’s songs. Computer? What the heck was computer to me at that time? I was so stupid to try to get the idea between a ‘Window’ and a computer. MIRC was the most ancient ‘tool’ I ever knew how to operate in a computer. Look at the kids now…. Sigh~~~. In Malaysia, if you grew up from those more kampongs (rural areas) town, you would go fishing using a hand-rode in the river sides or the big ‘longkang’, if not under the bridge.

Rewind a few years back, four heavenly kings were the biggest hit in town. Only some so-called self-proclaimed anti-fashioner went against it and supported the alternative like Oasis, Blur, the Wallflowers, Scorpions, and Metallica.. of course Metallica. Well, for those who do not know who four heavenly old c*nt are, here is a list of name to help you refresh your memories:
Andy Lau,
Leon Lai,…….. I’ll stop the list before I can’t stop myself throwing out.

Before graduating primary school you would exchange ‘memorial diary’ to scribble a few words with your classmates and cried as if there was no tomorrow when the ‘good-bye’ song was sung in the last assembly of your year. Ok la, I admit I did this before and found it girly. You were allocated a roaster for all the once-a-week duty (cleaning the window, weeping the floor, clearing the bin etc). Much to my surprise now, discrimination already took some part of form back in my school time where those you got to the last duty of the list *cough* clearing the bin *cough*. It is either you are smelly, stupid in class, always fail in your exam, or very ugly.

Some people would even performed extra duties ‘voluntarily’. This is true when the teacher’s pet that records who do their work and who don’t also the one you had a crush on. Much to my astonishment now, I could not believe that I did that on countless occasions. Shame on myself!!!

Funnily but truthfully, the friends you made in this period of you before entering your 20s are large but only few stay close and will remain so forever. Standing in the era of entering my 30, I cannot help thinking back all this, I would not be the person I am today had I not had these childhood.

Quote from Jens

2006-05-31T22:23:00.000-07:00

"Well when I came to Arsenal in 2003 I didn't even know they were going to have a new stadium. I always wondered what they were building next to Highbury, and about a year after I signed Gilberto told me that it was going to be Arsenal's new stadium!" - Jens Lehmann.

Astonising isn't it?

Brand New Stadium!

2006-05-25T02:03:00.000-07:00

2005/06 EPL season had come to the final curtain last two week, and here I am again doing a brief review. Really couldn't believe it has been a year since I did a commentary review on 2004/05 Arsenal season here, namely The Invincibles. I am not prepared to go through a thorough analysis of how Arsenal season had been. But I would pluck one interesting point that I made last year - "Though the English Premier League title remains our first priority when fresh season kicks off, we will be ready to challenge the most prestigious cup – Champion League. Not only do we possess the ingredients but also we will be mentally capable of taking the trophy off Anfield".

I think it is safe to say that the first claim was negligible while the second---- YES! WE CAME SO CLOSE! I made a bold claim that Arsenal were ready to challenge the most prestigious cup, and they proved me right and the doubters wrong. They got into the Final for the first time ever in Arsenal history and were undeservingly defeated by eventual winner - Barcelona. With 10 versus 11 for over 70 minutes to go over the match. Still, we took the lead. My regret, also many viewers', is we didn't have the chance to watch a true classic final with even number. Until then, we dont' feel like losers - F. Fabregas. I think, as many would agree, we never lost.

I am also not inclined to speculate what trophy Arsenal will bring back after the World Cup fewer – new EPL season 2006/ 07, nonetheless my feeling is Arsenal nailing down the Premier League title for the fourth time under Arsene Wenger’s regime, while the Champion League will be a harder target though it is not unachievable. Arsenal will, I would argue, come back much hungrier and stronger than last season and not so obscure to foresee that they have formed the bond within the team i.e. they have learned as a team. The fact can be largely reflected from season 2002/03 where they came agonizingly close of landing back-to-back Premier League title but fell short and conceding to Manchester united. Soon after the season resume in 2003/2004 they achieved what was famously labeled by the Manager Arsene – The Invincible, in which they went through the whole season unbeaten. Similar feat is to happen for the upcoming season? We will see…..

But it is an engulfing feeling that we have a whole brand new stadium to play for. COME ON YOU GOONER!!!!

OooOoooPppssss~. Excuse muα, excuse with the "F" word. This photo was a capture of me being unwilling to be taken, it tells a lot how much I hated it when someone taking my photo when I was fully swingy here and there - drunk. Not blaming this brainless people, but that made me really cross and on this occasion I thought it was one of the most appropriate 'opportunity' to use the word "F*** OFF!!!". If the photographer were reading this, I would say "F*** you to the max + one".

A Holiday I paid briefly on the rolling over year between 2005-06. At that time, I felt engulfted with everything back home owing to the fact that I was not home for about two years. I feel particularly warm with home now.... some memories worth flashing back.

First ever took up a flight with RBA - Royal Brunei Airline

Anything better than that of MAS? More generous 'cos they cater more buns? NO! I requested for it.

Finally!! You are offically a graduate. Though we may call each other w*nker, d*umbass, all the swearing words, you name it. But inside, it is just a blessing to have you around, to have you as such a friend that I can't put a word in it at times, and for all feeling so proud of you is a real sense of being in my comfort zone.

Life may not turn out as wonderful as we envigased, and things might just go against us badly. If we take it as a challenge than burden, we may as well prevail the hardship, and to fight for what we think we deserve that makes us a stranger person.

It may be just too much and overwhelming for me to wrap up what and how things have been over the period when I was 'missing'. I find a way to utterly stipulate it.....

Back!! I am hard done here for the past few weeks. I feel like being so left out and the beast inside me is eating me up, too. How ridiculous of that?!?!??! By the way, I have been asking myself for all this, if I were to fall.… or if I couldn’t laugh, or no one could make me laugh I would arguably go crazy. Back to what was to be said, if I were to fall, I wish god would send me an angel to catch my fall. All these years, I mean along the way I grew up I have learnt lots of lots of stuff from mistakes. My errors, things I thought it was right but turned out to be terribly wrong. I deeply dig hard to learn from that. The downside of that? Well, I am so withdrawn to risk again.

Ronaldinho! What comes across your mind when Ronaldinho is said out loud in the air? For non-football fevers it may sound like some sort of monster species, for football fans he is THE monster! 2004 FIFA Player of the Year, first full season at Barca helping them to lift the famous Spanish La Liga in three years in 2003/04 season, his attacking capability is deadly, and his trick is untouchable. Being an Arsenal fan, however, I am not led to believe that he betters Thierry Henry. But with him being in a non-arsenal footballer, he certainly deserves lots of my praise. I don't say thing for the sake of it but with complete assurance. After reviewing the following clip, I guarantee your jaw touches the ground. ENJOY!!!

Moive or Dinner?

2005-10-31T06:43:00.000-08:00

Errmmm.... it is kinda tough to get this blogged. It is more due to the fact that it should never be blogged at all. Anyway, I and my colleague have been having this constant subject over the course of the weeks - movie or dinner is more obvious?

Pei: hey will, what does that indicate to you when a bloke asks a chick out for a movie?
Me: um... don't know, being pretty ordinary I suppose.
Pei: how would the decision affect you if it were a dinner?
Me: D*mn!! What's the difference?
Pei: Of course there is a difference, asking a girl out with dinner can be a very casual fashion but movie...... movie is quite spot on to the fact that the guy is having a liking of her.

....... Silence sets in for a few seconds.........

Me: Yeah maybe. A dinner can be a casual thingie whereas movie can be quite obvious.
Per: Right? You reckon too huh?
Me: Hehehe..... so who is that lucky girl?

.........Solemn face was imprinted in his face........

Pei: No.. and no-no. Friend asking over the line.
Me: Chehh........

Silly me, such a simple conversation could enlighten me so much in the afternoon where I could never understand after all. THANKS PEI!!! I thought to myself, maybe 'they' hated my disarrangement and wrong interpretation of my expression. Hahah... who cares now? Lol.

A player that is out of his Wolrd, playing with no fear indeed an immeasurable gut and confidence. His first goal against Sparta after just 6 minutes coming on from bench was a beauty, controlling his right foot after swerving the ball into the far left hand side of the goalpost from 20 yard leaving with the opposition goal stopper simply chanceless. After rounding up his second of the night, he overwrote his name into the history book of Arsenal by overhauling former record-breaker - Ian Wright. A remarkable 186 goals in 303 games with him being in Arsenal shirt.

Welcome back THIERRY HENRY, you have been sorely missed.

FRIENDSHIP

Something is not meant to be broken, the value adds to an essential element of the facets. If the drops of certain meanings into the ocean triggers the water vibe, it will not be the original cause of it but the subsequent effects bringing out the chain between the begining and ending. A lot can change between here and then, it would be nice to keep some of those things with me. For now I deeply realise I can't always see you but knowing you are there, shinin' like a star, immortally.

Demanding for more? we were born with nothing and will leave this World for nothing. Yet we are fighting so hard for every penny we earn - including emotional and financial investment.

Thought of how spoilt you can be when you are a big fat laid back couch sitter? Have you taken eveything you have for granted? when things seem to go your ways so easily - in so far as thinking about there are catastrophic natural disaster going around in the very globe we live in - the Tsunami & massive earthquake? How bombs are being dropped and war is being triggered these days? Thinking about how fortunate we are when 'someone else' is left to take the suffering but not you? Contemplating how deperately but humanly there are dying people fighting for lives and foods? Have all these happening become just mere piece of commercial revealed on TV to you?

Early, I was reading a very exclusive statement made by the FIFA president - Blatter who slamming at how modern footballers asking for 100,000 or even 120,000 pounds for weekly salary; these highly paid players monthly salary totals up to the fact that where their their parents cannot even earn for a decade!

More? what's more?

If tonight was the night
I would pick myself up so that I can be whole again, decidedly
As day goes by, I've always believed there is an unbreakable bond
A bond that lies between here and then
It was you who brought about a belief
It was you who showed me some beautiful doors
That is dedication...
You carried me through, not by chance but with the fullest of your heart
Even when..
Even when the flower has long wilted
Even when the World has become impatient with me
Even when I am blinded and lost faith within myself.

Whe Love & Hate Collide

2005-10-08T07:04:00.000-07:00

Everything starts with a story behind; obscure or revealed, and I am no exception. Couple of months back then, I was bloggin' up anything but love-related articles. It says it all simply. Having clarified that, that did not necessarily reflect where my thoughts laid, my mind wasn't really directed towards the point in regards to the blogs revealed. Well, not to a great extent; no. There isn't much denying to be suspected but I thought they were rather general in nature. Nevertheless, I did have my difficult times, where I'd tend to live within myself, where I was heading no where.. it was this song that carried me through. I hope some of you who have this song or have yet to get this song will echo my inner thought.

Whe Love & Hate Collide - DEF LEPPARD
You could have a change of heart, if you would only change your mind
Instead of slamming down the phone girl, for the hundredth time
I got your number on my wall, but i ain't gonna make that call
When divided we stand baby, united we fall`
Got the time got a chance gonna make it
Got my hands on your heart gonna take it
All i know i can't fight this flame
You could have a change of heart, if you would only change your mind
Cause i'm crazy 'bout you baby, time after time

Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide

I don't wanna fight no more, i don't know what we're fighting for
When we treat each other baby, like an act of war
I could tell a million lies and it would come as no surprise
When the truth is like a stranger, hits you right between the eyes
There's a time and a place and a reason
And i know i got a love to believe in
All i know got to win this time

You could have a change of heart, if you would only change your mind
Cause i'm crazy 'bout you baby...crazy...crazy
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
If you have a heart at all
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide

Hi all, me is back!!!!! Haha… actually haven’t really been anywhere. Just find it hard to update my blog these days. It would be less forgiving if I simply said I do not have the times. To some extent, I had not got much to share and thought I was running out of ideas at times. I reckon I have been living too ‘within’ myself. *puke*… d**n!!! What is too ‘within’ myself? Beauty comes from within? Not in my case of course. Anywayyyyy guys, Here’s what I want to share and realise that while I was blogging this, at that very moment, was all I had, ever ….

I was thinking all these…

1. A car = $25,000
2. Expensive restaurant = $200
3. Brand new laptop = $1,799
4. Nice top wool suit = $299

Holy Bible

2005-10-01T22:55:00.000-07:00

I am not a religious person, nor do I follow any rituals of prescribed "10-commanmand" or similars. Boldly speaking, I have my own set of values which I find it irresistible and persistent over times. However, some principles written in the books of religion are, I personally reckon, irrefutable.......

"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. Holy Bible)

Corporate Scandals

2005-09-29T09:28:00.000-07:00

"The recent focus of corporate governance has developed into one of the most contentious issues facing accounting today since the global share market meltdown of the late 1980s and more controversial in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s with infamous corporate failures including Harris Scarfe, OneTel, Ansett and HIH".

The above-citated extract was from one of my early essay.... I think the later statement should go as: "Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws". How true.. Hahaha.

I sat here thinking, maybe thing is not like that and it just wasn't meant to be. I have said this number of times and I will say it again; life isn't about getting what you want, nor is it measured by how much you give out. Let's face it this way; you can't have everything you'd like to have. You must hold onto some things and let go of others. Learning to make those choices is one of the big lessons of this life. People have claimed that the one you love would not make you cry, the one does is not worth your tears. Again, love does not hurt until the person hurts you, you will not feel the hurt unless you truly love him/her. I wish my statement would go rather unequivocal in so far as everyone is being able to see. Nonetheless, understanding that things are easy said than done.... Fact is that truth always remains to be seen. So I thought ....... it may not be worthless but maybe it is just not worthwhile holding on so tightly to the things you desire.

It's My Name

2005-09-24T03:20:00.000-07:00

William Chin - A name given by my parents, something that I didn't get to choose for my life. Albeit I am more affectionately known as Bill, as close friends and family have been calling me with Bill for most of my life. Since I have moved to WA, they prefer to call me Will.... Will? What is that? I got myself questioning why they called me Will. For quite some time I get used to it and kinda..... .. ermm.... don't really wanna use the word 'like'. Anyway, though folks are still sometimes confused with where Bill is made out of from 'William Chin Kian Woo'. However, A typical Englishman will not be unclear with that. Anyway, is it Bill or Will? Well, I don't really get to be called what I really want, do I?

When It Doesn't Matter

2005-09-21T03:24:00.000-07:00

Mr. ABC
I will tell you something that has always been with me all this while. I am in love with a person that I shouldn't, now...and now I am hurting inside.

Miss. XYZ
What's wrong? How come you guys can't be together? And what is really holding you back?

Mr. ABC
I don't know, each day I just want her a little more .... I don't know what to do; I have felt so helpless lately. For once I thought that I'd do anything for her just to hold her back in my arms. Albeit with her remaining unimpressed.

Miss. XYZ
Oh dear, maybe you are just being lost. You know, if that is what you really want to do. You won't be like this now, getting so left out.

Mr. ABC
Maybe......... maybe you are right. But......

Miss. XYZ
Hey, you know. Loving someone is not like this. It takes you a lot more than whatever u have been through now, it grabs you inside out, and tosses you upside down. If you truly love someone, you will unquestionably be there for him/ her, you will need to take care of her without a single sign of moan. No matter what your positions are, your love to her is unchanged. You need to give and share what you've got even when unasked. You need to even be content when someday his/ her heart is no longer yours. The spirit of loving is undying no matter what the circumstances are. Could you do that?

Mr. ABC went off quietly. Ever since, Mr. ABC has established the habit of spelling love as.........C-O-M-M-I-T-M-E-N-T.

It's Sunday

2005-09-18T03:25:00.000-07:00

My week has been absolutely chaotic, adding up to the fact today is Sunday. Well, I didn't use to enjoy on Sunday for some petty reasons. It may sound absurd as Sunday is the best time to get a bit laid back. The thing is I hadn't even yet had the time to 'hate' or think about this Sunday. This Sunday went very blurry indeed after the entire week of accumulated unslept hours and f*****g st*p*d soccer competition this morning. So, I was very uncompromising to the work-to-be-done for an extravegant afternoon nap, I only noticed that I hadn't had afternoon sleep for quite some time after waking up and cleaning my teeth (brushing my teeth really rang the belt as I questioned myself why I was brushing my teeth at this time - afternoon.)

If you don't treat yourself nice, no one will as much as to the extent you do. Being busy is not to have to run your own bus-i-ness, because the adjective of "busy" does not equate to the noun of "business". As letigimate as that.

Conservatism

2005-09-16T07:01:00.000-07:00

A conservative man is who thinks that nothing should be done for the first time. A bold man is ... is senseless. If you stay still and are too afraid to take risk, you would risk even more. But if you think you can, you can, If you think you can't you are right.

Simple Fact

To Believe

2005-09-11T08:32:00.000-07:00

Sometimes it seems to me that if there were god, then we would be the abandoned one, being left out and alone to make decision on our own. To make our necessity and essentiality – though important or trivial. But sometimes we believe in things so badly that as though they will be realised, as if our prayers were kept safe for god to answer. It is our belief in impossibility that makes it possible.

My Journey Begins Here

2005-09-07T22:24:00.000-07:00

Not long ago I was so saturated with the fact that I could not get a job AND had yet to possess a PR. I could not tell where I would end up... procrastination was far from being written in my agenda, not even close. Whilst great deals of impetus had consistently been part of my unprogrammed plan. Frankly, I had done everything single thing that I could have possibly performed to get to where I wanted to be, to bring my daily more in line with that of my objective. Quite ironically but not unpredictably I was left with limbo with full of frustrations at times. I.e. things just did not turn my way. Kinda confessing to a friend of mine, I was then told this "your time will come". Till then I understand what it really means.

The lingering doubt had finally ended, my eagerly long-waited Aussie PR was finally granted successfully!!! A mixture of hectic schedule was also underway and playing a large part of my routine. The overlapping duties, or more appropriately my 'jobs' were that I was already working for 3G Hutchison Telecommunication, and as usual my petty income from private tutoring. John is my boss from 3G, who appreciates my efforts and has given me the opportunity to work under his realm. Though it is more down to him being shorthanded I reckon as a result of his expanding business in Perth. An overriding issue somehow sets in the day, which tends to have cooled off or I thought I had found my feet over the periods if you like. Anyway, the superseding issue is....... A new job offer came in! Well, it is much more than a job I highly regard it as a career.

Now, everything seems to go my way. A position that I have been longing for bl**dy g*dd*mn eight months. So there I went, having been through two interviews as well as a relatively long phone call with one of the partners. The timing of such offer coming in cannot be any more magical. But wait a sec, what happens to my current position then? A headache goes whilst another replaces, doesn't it? That is the law of reality. I was only left finding out that John - my current boss - has put me under his 'big plan' of business expansion in W.A. I am confident to say this; the newly adjusted offer that John outlaid before me on the coffee table was very exceptional for a new graduate. To be honest, I feel absolutely flattered and I dare going a bit further - honoured. In comparison, nothing should be taken for granted from that of accounting position to this one. What captivates me really is to get a feel of becoming an accountant. Hey Will, have ya made up your mind yet? YES!!! Wait a minute, maybe no... what if I stay? Will there be turning back?....... maybe I should stay on... no no.. I should move for that......NOOO!! AArrrgghhhh!!!

So much thinking was done, I thought to myself if I go for what I studied for, I may regret one day for not undertaking such an extremely rare career prospect. Again, if I do stay on and ultimately get promoted to a store manager by telling off myself what I initially wanted to do I may even regret more badly.

Alright people, don't really want to linger on this subject for too long but I think that pretty much wraps up how my life has been over the past eight months or so. Up to this point in time, it is absolute highlight of my year. It is also more than anything I could ever ask for from god.

P/s: It is my greatest gratitude of all to John Tan, Pasinotti Lim & Chong.

Pay-off

2005-09-04T18:14:00.000-07:00

How long have you been working unrelentingly? How far back then when you first started to work like this? Everyone deserves something better, at least everyone deserves better. Driving yourself to the edge of exhaustion is never a good idea even you've got much to do. Listen to your body when it tells you when it requires a break, and don't push hard just because you think you can. Take care of yourself now rather than later.

Friend of mine forwarded this wicked scenery from Czech Republic. Woww~ I thought it was time for a vacation. Folks, maybe it's yours too. Haven't bothered thinking about this? Well, set yourself some short-term goals in order to be able to achieve those long-term ones. Now, admit yourself to a break.

Truth is....

2005-09-04T09:34:00.000-07:00

If only things could be better, if only time would prove someone right, if only error could be rectified, If only preset would tell what lies ahead, if only I could live beyond the boundary at the same times disguise how I feel... I know they are all failing actions. If you don't wish to let someone to see your weaknesses, show it anyway. I thought I had been living under the truth of facts but only found out I was buried in an absyy with full of pretensions. "The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart."

When Da Goin' Gets Tough

2005-09-04T00:10:00.000-07:00

When the going gets tougher, things are set to turn against it, spirit is then to be demoralised. Doesn't make sense? When you have your going going tough, you are the only one who can tell the difficulty. When your going gets tough it is also times where you tend to struggle from reality or self-generated depression - sinking feelin'. It is also time to step back and get refined.

Fourty Thousands Days

2005-08-31T03:26:00.000-07:00

I realise that I can be ridiculously busy at times, when I said I am busy, I mean it. I am not here to put up any complaints. In converse sometimes it feels great to be busy, doesn't it? I have always believed it when they say success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

Love music!! No matter how insane the day gets, music never seemed to fade away my distant reach. It is my yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I even cannot agree more when music is said to be the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing. When you desperately need silence, even the loudest music can provide you with the means better than those *rseh*le you don't wanna listen to or with thier unspoken blacked-faced body language.

No matter what sort of day you come through, it is just a day with a normal 24 hrs you would otherwise get through. If it is good it is wonderful if it isn't, it is experience. There is always tender new plant from wilted branches. .. always sunshine after rainy day... and always beautiful tomorrow when the window is inevitably shut today.

Take it or leave it, because no matter how seriously you want to take thing as you will not live more than fourty thousands days days in your very life. God is fair.....

><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

One year = Three hundreds sixty five days

Ten years = Three thousands six hundreds firty days

One hundred years = Thirty six thousands five hundreds days

One hundreds and...........

Can you live more than 40,000 days? I doubt it.

o2 Mini

2005-08-27T20:55:00.000-07:00

Produced by HTC. Functionally identical to Qtek S100, i-Mate JAM and T-mobile MDA compact. Other features? It has got almost everything a modern mobile phone 'should' have in general.

Don't get me wrong folks, I ain't here to promote 02 Mini pocket PC. I simply wanna show you how a 02 mini will look like when skinned. I might subconsciously refute the latter statement since 02 is the current sponsor of Arsenal lol. Having the chance of getting a hang of it for a few times, I come to the conclusion that it is indeed handy - functionality wise. In comparison, the outlook of Motorola A1000 seemingly looks, I would much prefer, classier.

A pocket pc that you can now get around A$899. Of course it is a phone that does much more than that, It facilitates, for what I think is important, Wording, Excelling, PowerPointing and outlooking. Though I am not convinced that the camera capped at 1.3 mega pixel. Click here for full features.

Coffee, Tea or Me?

2005-08-25T21:29:00.000-07:00

Had a long long conversation with a close friend of mine over the phone from overseas tonight. Getting to know about this fella's bits and pieces could sometimes put me under many unprecedented influences. Tonight was counted towards one of those (extraordinary)... I was left speechless when he told me he proposed to his girlfriend about an engagement. Unsurprisingly, we got stuck on this subject for quite a number of minutes. We didn't stop.... well, not until he stunned, inspired me in a stricter sense, with a compelling advice after I asked "why do you prefer to be attached than single, or vice versa?"

"It is always better to be attached than single, the reason is being very simple...... When you are single you cannot be anything but being alone all the time but when you have a companion you still have the personal space to be 'single'"...... he claimed.

A simple thought that has left itself so inspirational and immortal .... and left me unable to agree more.

Polina's Birthday 2005

2005-08-23T08:29:00.000-07:00

Hi folks, I was thinking this for quite a while and realise that I haven't actually posted anything with what I do here, the people I meet etc etc ........ so here's a brief compilation of Pol's Birthday, that correspoends to what I do or enoying doing, doesn't it? well, who cares?! so enjoy!!

Here comes the Bday girl. It has been some time since we have known each other Pol. With the time shared, it was never short of laughters and has always been wonderful having you around. I count myself as lucky having participated in two special ocassions of yours.

The trio - Run, Roon, & Ron. *faint* not even close. Though we are all anti-man utd, this nicely positioned shot may well be the photo of the night *another major doom* lol.

Here's Wanying (the gal padding my back) the other two will be introduced shortly. The two blokes? Need I say more?..... waste my time only lols.

This one is not about what wishes the Bday gal made nor is it how loud the bday song went it is about the bday cake. Readers, trust me.. it is huge, thick, cheesy, filling, yet yummy.. *puke* lol. I hope those who had really enjoyed it.

Bday gal gently slides through the thick n huge cake. Many say, If memory serves me well, that you shouldn't cut the cake right to the bottom where the coaster rests, because your wishes won't come true. Is that rite? Or is it your wishes don't come complete if the knife does not come out clean after sliding the cake through? which one is it?----?

What do you do if you can't finish a giant slice of Bday cake? Get it messed up on your mate's face! This shot could have been the photo of the night where I stuck a piece of cake on Dixon's nose - cameraman reacted slowly.

A more intimate nexus. Chong looks like he is the boyfriend of Bday gal where he is sitting so close, he is somehow then flanked by me n' Dixon. So the beauties go from the left - Fina, Toto, Pol, Hannah, Sandy, & Elen.

The big group of course.... So there you are, Happy Birthday Polina 2005!!!

On 12/August/2005, I was at work and made known of a shocking news on my 3 mobile - Malaysia Declared State of Emergency. Being in great tensity of haze, the financial capital, Kulau Lumpur was 'swallowed' by a level of more than 400 and with main harbour in Port Klang was peaked at more than 500!! (well, if memory serves me well). Next day, The West Australian newspaper reported.........."Malaysian anger at the haze from forest fires boiled over yesterday as opposition activists demonstrated nosily outside the Indonesian embassy, they demanded compensation for the choking smog from Indonesian forest clearances which has forced schools to close, disrupted transport and caused breathing problem......" Complaints go on....

It has occured to question that who is to blame with this incidence since worst haze crisis previously in the region was in 1997-98, and was also caused by Indonesian forest fires? Should it be proposed to stop pointing fingers at each other? Digging out and tackling where the problem lies seems to be the only radical solution now - putting off the flame.

Interesting enough, according to an Internet source on Tuesday August 16, 9:54 AM

"Indonesia will prosecute 10 companies - EIGHT OF THEM MALAYSIAN - for illegally lighting fires on Sumatra Island that have enveloped much of Malaysia with smoke". For full story, Click Here

Human organs, scarcities, and sale: morality revisited

2005-08-12T07:38:00.000-07:00

Read a tiny journal of medical ethics today and thought it has got to do with an article I posted early - titled The Island.

"Despite stringent and fine tuned laws most jurisdictions are not able to curb organ trafficking. Nor are they able to provide organs to the needy. There are reports of the kidnapping and murder of children and adults to "harvest" their organs. Millions of people are suffering, not because the organs are not available but because "morality" does not allow them to have access to the organs. Arguments against organ sale are grounded in two broad considerations: (1) sale is contrary to human dignity, and (2) sale violates equity. Both these objections are examined in this article and it is concluded that they reflect a state of moral paternalism rather than pragmatism. It is argued that a live human body constitutes a vital source of supply of organs and tissues and that the possibilities of its optimum utilisation should be explored. Commercialisation should be curbed not by depriving a needy person of his genuine requirements but by making the enforcement agencies efficient"

An Insider's Perspective

2005-08-10T19:42:00.000-07:00

There have been lots of talks about Arsenal, supporters or anti-Arsenal crowd. In respects to new season just getting underway in days, how should this once-before-unbeatable team be described as in a modern day today? As they are waving goodbyes to Highbury and entering into a new stadium in 2006/07 season, a trophyless term is nearly unthinkable. With the sore departure of our captain to Juve - Patrick Vieira, critics have been raised as to fractionally if not radically re-building the squad. This may be argued that Arsene Wenger should and/or could have done more to additions to squad than he did. By far, Arsenal have only added one major signing - a Belarusian Aleksander Hleb from VFB Stuttgart.

After seeing the Community Shield as a defeat to Chelsea, our new boy no. 13, who is far from being afraid of the giant Chelsea tight defense, looked to be an influential figure on the pitch. His run and control of the ball was simply incredible. This is also to put up that Arsenal have brought on a great performance against Chelsea though result did not matter, well... at least in a personal perspectives. There were lots of positive elements should be enjoyed. Arsenal were still very much up to a branch of attacking football, simply terrorizing Chelsea defense on many occasions with speedy run, classy touches, and flowing passing. What did worry me was the Gunners defense that was awful at times, looking far from assured. Speaking to rebuilding the squad, I strongly reckon this area is where Arsene Wenger should be scratching his head on. On the field further up, Wenger may have been credited for cashing in the proceeds from the sales of Patrick Vieira, who was still very much marketable. Center midfield should look well equipped with the likes of Gilberto Flamini, Fabrecas, and Hleb. Latter is versatile to supplement both flanks while Fabrecas has also shown proficiency on the right. These flexibilities should be enjoyed if Pires and/ or Ljungberg were short. Mind you, Reyes could also fill up Pires� preferred position.

Our available strikers may, though I am not convinced at times, be just right under required consideration. Henry is always a certain no. 14 in the team if he stays suspension and injury free. Bergkamp seems far from being able to play at a consistently high level; the non-flying Dutchman further curtails striking options when it comes to European competitions. Much responsibility is inevitable to be resting on Henry, Reyes, and van Persie, the latter two are contingent upon the situation that Reyes is not dropped deep and Persie is to be pleaded not guilty with sexual charges in Holland.

What exacerbates, I would suggest, situation could be the transfer of a captain armband to our no. 14, who has far greater responsibility to bear on the field. To some extent, having given more workloads to Henry may just make him lose focus on his stunning performance again. Ultimately, I hope Wenger would give a chance to Quincy who wonderfully shined in World Cup Youth competition last months.

To me, Arsene looks short of having 'plan B' and is saving up betting chips that is equivalent to putting all eggs in one bucket again this season.

Message of da Bottle

2005-08-05T17:21:00.000-07:00

"If you listen just a little closer
and if you would stay just a moment longer.
You might be able to hear these drops of regret
fall into the bucket
And you might be able to see these drops of sorry"
filling up the bottle
But if I bring you just a little closer
and if I could hold you just a moment longer
I might be able to take back those drops of regret
and empty that bucket
And I might be able to soak up those drops of sweet "sorry"
and break open that bottle
We made this fairy tale into a very short story
You deserved a much better ending
and for this.....
I am very very sorry..…
I knew the easiest thing for you is to forgive me for what I have done.
The hardest thing is for you to forget what I did...
Regardless of how many "sorry" I have....
did you know what, babe.....
When you can't forget is just another way of saying you can't forgive?"

The Island

2005-08-03T08:16:00.000-07:00

The Island.... you're going to the island, transported to the world's last paradise, yes, you have been chosen. Lincoln Six-Echo, one of many flawfree-made inhabitants that dwell in a carefully controlled, if not perfectly designed, environment. Like all of his peers, he hopes to be chosen, by means of lottery, to go to the world's last paradise - the uncontaminated island. But he unsteadily questions every single existent in his very own dwelling place, only to discover that he was, like all of his peers, made to provide possible damage of his 'origin'......

A scientific movie that shows to be contentious, having been directed by Michael Bay and starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. For those who have seen the firm, did anyone of you question the core issues of the firm? What if, which are likely, human clones are to happen? Where does the moral lie? The equation of this issue cannot be less than politics, religions, sciences, and atheists etc.... any mankind you can think of to date.

Is it 'legitimate' to clone humans and later on transplant the required parts of the body to its counterpart? Answering this question, there are further considerations to be taken into account. Let's assume there is a God, a set of principles is held in faith so that we are made to believe that our creator is God but no one else. Cloning human beings is anything but sin where one goes beyond God's plan. It is even more controversial when a scientist 'harvests' a cloned being where s/he literally commits 'murdering'. An atheist may just not disagree more....

What if there is no God and we are only abandoned kinds? Does it feel 'ok' when a scientist 'makes' and then kills off a being to save a baby with tumour? Or let the infant cease to live and replace the cloned one....... one another? No easy answer. An ideal situation could be to 'creating' the counterpart if and only if needed, by approach to imprinting no memory to the human clone... basically, gives them no chance to live. Make and harvest. It is probably one of the disturbing scenes that many would go against the idea of human cloning. That is, creating a bunch of literally human beings who eat, sleep, game, and socialize etc.... then you take back their lives for the purpose of others'. But again, there will be no 'them', absolutely nothing had it not been their creator - scientist. Is it just a matter of the timing as to when to kill off the being or should there be no human cloning altogether? Think carefully for those who stick with the latter.

It gets pretty familiar to the daily news now, what is the difference when one aborts and puts a baby's life to an end just after giving birth? Former is legal while the latter isn't..... a matter of when again?

We will find out what is going to happen about human cloning for the coming generation.... no matter what, it does not seem to be under our power to get the final say.

I miss you deeply, but I am without you and have yet to get you back in my arms. Yet I know I need to surppress my feelings and to put off the burning flame in my heart. When I master the routine of thinking about you being just a mere habit, it is where I die inside.... I will then let you fly free without feeling the pain my soul could bear.... but again, that makes me miss you even more.

Hi guys, haven't heard from you for quite a while. How are you all doing there? When I was reviewing some of the composed photos, I was thinking to myself Gee~ U guys have grown a lot. Well, appearance of cos, what did u think? Also, side way huehuehue lols. Gratefully, I enjoyed very much the 2005 CNY & beach outing photos very much. Thanks

Before I call it a day, will introduce u guys to my faithful readers. (Left to right) Kin - not too sure of his personality but i'd reckon he's an extremist, little cowboy - no one cares abt his real name since we've been calling him affectionately for years, Man - we thought he was 'beautiful' as girl, his nick was more famously known as "Angel spreads flowers" doesnt make sense does it? the motive of wanting to know him was be'coz of his sisters only lol jk jk... actually it was his next to kin, Gel - same goes for him, was more infamously known as "lady killer". Virtually many gals fell for his preys jk jk.. lolz. (more troubling one, in green) Paul & Balak last but not least Beckham, it tells a lot about this lad just getting to know his names doesnt it? Quiet simply, he is unpredictable, as simple and difficult as that. Lei - one of an extinct kind, loyal to his friends and faithful to his beloved ones. Downside is he is a fast driver by which he sees no one ever drives in front of him, what adds things worse was his battle car, which was no more than a 2.4L Hilux , and Tak in black, black T-shirt I mean, not "Man is Black" hehuehue lol.

You guys have been with me for almost one-third of my life, need I say more?

Octopus ><, or is it?

2005-07-28T09:10:00.000-07:00

??? what the heck is that ??? I was tidying my bedroom and noticed 'he' kinda caught my attention tonight, though he has been sitting there in a prominent location of the shelf all this while. Thanks guys for giving me such a thoughtful B'day present. YES, not being sarcastic I have contemplated a lot about the function or dyfunction of this little fella. Sadly, I have yet to find out what it is for. It is written at the bottom of this little fella "Munchkin HOT Patent Pending". It will be appreciated if anyone can tell me what it does (wckwb@yahoo.com).

P/s: Octopus can't have 6 legs, can they? .... well, mine does... >.<

It is not easy to survive in a competitive environment. To stand out you will need to dig in and work hard. Do you want me to tell you this? Hard work does not guarantee success, but the latter cannot be done without hard work. Similarly, there is no short-cut to heaven, nor is there to success. Bullshit may take you to success, but it won't KEEP you there.

Eugene McCarthy says being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it's important. But I say Love is the only game where two parties can be the winner. To be successful, you have to be smart enough to fall in love with the same person, and dumb enough to give unconditionally.

Viewing a movie trailer gives u lots of curiosity, excitement, expectancy etc...... most crucially it is stimulating, instantaneous, directive, inspiring, and thought provoking. The effect of it is right on the spot, making you really desire to see it and uncovering your curiosity. In many cases, it may not turn out as fabulous as what it is perceived in the preview. What leads to afterward would be disappointment, complaint, criticism and in a more extreme case - regret altogether. Would it not make logic if you could reserve the facet of curiosity at the first place by not taking an advanced step? God may put us under the freedom to make choices in life; nevertheless some choices are not meant to be decided upon but to be lived with that comes its way. For example, luv.

Some feelings are not meant to be pursued, likewise some conversion of friendships to loved ones are not supposed to eventuate. Even some solid ground of affection should not be consolidated. Many have claimed that friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never. I have learnt to take thing less seriously and not to take it for granted because in some way god may just take away the things you presently want it most, I have also somehow learnt to love someone without wanting the needs of her being by my side, discovering the gratitude of loving somebody by not possessing her but by means of thinking about her on occasions, wishing her happiness and health to be my fulfillment. For now I realise true love expects nothing in return, for the one does is not real but pure investment. Like a movie trailer, the sparkling short-lived scenes & experiences of a crush, even an infatuation, is solidly ever-lasting and most timelessly beautiful if kept deep down inside your heart.

"True love hears what is not spoken, and understands what is not explained, for love doesn't work in the mouth, nor the mind, but in the heart"

Drive Safe in WA

I thought this photo was partcularly distinctive and was gonna write a thank-you note other than cracking up a factual joke. Well, I am sticking with the latter one since the 'patrician object' is already in this very photo lolz.Though the 2nd patrician is not here, you will realise why it is when you read on.

Did you ever get pulled over and yelled at by Police officer something like "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?"... "YOU ALMOST HIT OUR CAR YOU KNOW?"..... ARE YOU DRUNK?" This actually happened with this white & super-power-steering Honda Accord. When asked what was wrong, luckily the driver did not answer "my tyre is botak (bold)" lolz. "Are you drunk" asked the officer, driver explained in anxiety "no, 'cos I lost grip on the steering wheel". "Be careful" yelled the officer. In fact, we were expecting a breath-test on alcohol level but given that moment of the night was pretty wet as a result of early pouring, the officer somehow convinced the driver's statement. I know you (driver) will kill me when you read this lol, so I am prepared to share my own experience as well.

I would reckon I was the unlucky one, considering I got pulled over and had my breath tested by the WA police twice for the past 6 months or so. The more cracking one happened a couple of months ago and with this and the early incidents (above) it leaves a never-failing laughter among the group. What happened was I was turning right into a traffic-lighted & two-laned junction. As soon as the light turned green I switched from my lane to stay on left without signaling (while the officer had been behind me), soon after the annoying red & blue flashing light was on with an unbearable sound "biu biu~" Hahaha---- LOL. There I was getting a series of lectures and my breath tested. What cracked my whole clique up was the police saying "dont do it in front of officers" I.e. Do not cross the lane without putting your signal while you are aware that an officer has been behind you purposively.

P/s: His tyre was in fact totally botak (no joke lols)

Early last month I have had an article written regarding the fare-wells of Bergkamp and Highbury. It did not take long to shaken me when an astonishing news broke out as one of our Highbury favourites leaving us for good - PV4, Patrick Vieira 4.

As a faithful Arsenal fan, I am not prepared to probe into nor would I speculate the insights of the selling of our influential captain. All I can say is when Pat no longer services for the Gunner, it would take an enormous piece of Arsenal away. Thank you for the beautiful nine years you gave us, thanks for standing up for the lads when we got bullied by those a**holes, thank you for the last kick of the ball as an Arsenal player that won us the famous English FA cup, thanks for leading the Gunners to an unforgettable unbeaten season, thanks for the bonds you have established in the squad, thank you Pat, you will always be special for Arsenal, always in our hearts and our minds.

All the best Pat, we will all love you as a person and a player, ALWAYS.

Luv

Many couples would kinda come and go in some point of this period during the year. I thought it might be heartwarming to share a beautiful article for those who wanna stand firm.

If you're afraid to love a person because of friendship, you have two choices: either tell what you feel and let the love take place or hide the feeling under a friendship full of pretensions.

It's hard for two people to love each other when they live in two different worlds but when these two worlds collide and become one, that's what you call magic!

Love can never be so beautiful without friendship. One leads to another and the process is irreversible. The best of lovers is the greatest of friends!

I like you because you're my friend, and because you are my friend I care, and because I care, I love you. I don't love you because you are my friend, I love you because I do!

Sometimes I've asked myself, what would make me happy? To think that I have everything else, I get what I want. Then I realized it was YOU, too bad 'cause it's you i can't have. I can't choose who I'm gonna love, but I also can't love who chooses to love me.

And you can't blame me in choosing to love you as much as I can't blame you for not learning to love me. I'm sorry if you can't love me the way you loved the one before me, so I'll let you go find him/her and hope someday you'll see that the one true love you're looking for was the one who set you free.

"How can I say goodbye to someone I never had? Why do tears fall for someone who was never mine? Why is that I miss someone I was never with and I ask why I love someone whose love was never mine?"

Isn't it funny we're trying to catch the attention of the one we think we love; we hardly notice the one we're really looking for was just there. You don't notice them 'till they are in the arms of someone else.

Food for thought, think of this: Have you really cared for someone more than you expected?

Have you ever tried to love him/her despite of all the pain?

Will you keep on loving him/her as he/she whispers someone else's name? Will you?

It's better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than lose that someone you love with your useless pride. When you love someone, don't expect that person to love you back the same amount. One of you will be head, the other behind. It's either you catch up or the other waits.

When you love, you must not accept anything in return, for if you do, you're not loving but Investing.

If you love, you must prepare to accept pain, for if you expect happiness, you're not loving but using. True love hears what is not spoken, and understands what is not explained, for love doesn't work in the mouth, nor the mind, but in the heart...

Love is like standing on wet cement, the longer you stay the harder it is to leave and you can never go without leaving your prints behind.

Don't love a person like a flower, because a flower dies in season. Love them like a river because a river flows forever.

Love doesn't have to have a happy ending, 'cause love doesn't have to end at all.

Never be afraid to fall in love. It may hurt a lot, it may give you aches and pains, but if you don't follow your heart, in the end you will cry even more for not giving love a chance.

Love may leave your heart like shattered glass, but keep in mind that there's someone who'll be willing to endure the pain of picking up the pieces so you could be whole again.

The cruelest thing a guy could do to a girl is to let her fall in love when he doesn't intend to catch her fall! And fooling around with her feelings like they meant nothing. (This goes for gals as well).

Karma

2005-07-13T11:35:00.000-07:00

If I were all alone, I should be somewhere but not be here.

If I got sucked in with all the uncontrollable pre-events, I would not resist but to go with the flow.

If the worlds wanted to test me with the hardest trials, I should get on a good ride and wait for what comes along the way.

If things were there for me to be conscious of which I failed, I would be willing to re-take the opportunity irrespective of what it takes.

If things are not meant to be now, I shall keep my head down and be patient to get to where I want to be.

If people could not forgive me for what I have done and/ or how I have made them feel, I would quietly bear the karma with no objections.

If..... and If...

For you to have the courage, let the instincts guide you.

What lies underneath this once-before-tallest building, KLCC, in the World? What holds the bricks firm together? What shapes the beautiful lightings with enormous electricity power? ... and the questions go on.... Seeing the twins tower makes me recall a famous quote, it goes something like this: "All love that has no friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand".

It Is What U Do Defines U

It may not be regarded as one of my favourites but its slow development to thrills somehow satified my expectation. At first I was full of anticipations that the movie would be very much Spiderman-like where the 'traditional' Batman's actions and custume are openly unveiled throughout the show. Rather, the heroic apperance did not last long with its full reveal only coming unambiguous at the 2nd half of the firm. Nevertheless, there should be no complaints about the firm which we paid $7.50, considering the show ran over 2 hours (longer than conventional ones - one and a half hours). In true fact, we did not expect to have this firm seen this evening but the more massive one by Steven Spielberg - War of the Worlds. Believe it or not, it was full.

Some conversations worth mentioning in Batman, though. Katie has a philosophical statement "It is not who you are underneath, but it is what you do that defines you". What a sophisticated or maybe incontestable opinion. Further, Freeman asked "why do we fall?", "so that we could pick ourselves up" answered he.

Little Creature

2005-07-01T07:12:00.000-07:00

His name is Jumbo (well, if it is how it is spelt). A friend's pet of mine. He is so tidy yet he weighs over 12 kgs!!!! What a food lover. A more telling story is his size, he does not run much as many WON'T take a pug for walk in a regular basis. This little fella even gets breathing problem for the sake of 'creeping' up and down the staircase lol. Embrassingly, I even thought it was an animal other than dog as he kinda freaked me out upon our first meeting. Having more opportunities to 'tease' him, he is absolutely a loving pet with the quality of, friendliness, approachability, and playfulness though unreliability as such.

He has got skills, visions, pace, and technical abilities, which make him one of the most wanted front-lining partners at Arsenal. His sublime killer pass has been pivotal to Arsenal goal-scoring records, and his discipline has been very much unconcerned on and off the pitch. Even the king of Highbury – Theirry Henry prefers to have him upfront so that he does not have to drop deep and focus on outrunning the opponent’s defense. That pretty much sums up who the player I referred to – Dennis Bergkamp.

Bergkamp is entering his 10th season as an Arsenal player. Undeniably he has done so much so much so much for Arsenal where former legend Tony Adam could not resist to label Bergkamp as “irreplaceable”. In summer 2004, it was not even enough to shaken Adam with the highly possible exit of influential captain P. Vieira. What Adam did take into consideration for his beloved club was the day when D. Bergkamp hangs his boots up, sharing his views on Bergkamp whose contribution to Arsenal is simply matchless.

His countless passes that sent his partnering marksman wild are simply remarkable & irresistible. In 2004-05 seasons, he managed to net 8 goals but that is just the tip of an ‘iceBerg’. Bergkamp has significantly impressed in goal creation, assisting 13 times in EPL. Only two players outclassed him in top flight – F. Lampard (14) & teammate T. Henry (16). The best goal Dennis has ever scored has got to be the one against Newcastle on 2001. Before his low drive to releasing the ball to pass Given, Bergkamp was faced with tight defence he cleverly flicked the ball and made a turn sending the defender all in vain. That was, I personally reckon, where the magic happened.

His commitment to the Red & White shirt is never questionable. With his professionalism, Bergkamp is a true great and pure class.
Rhys Wood said “Thank God there are still players like Henry, Bergkamp, Maldini, Costacurta, Puyol, Javier Zanetti, and so on who are still at their clubs not for the money they earn, but for the sheer joy they have and the love they have for their club”.

If that is, seems likely, Bergkamp’s last season, is it not coincidental that we are saying goodbye to two existing entities at Arsenal next season – Highbury and Bergkamp? When 2006-07 season kicks off, they will sorely be missed after tremendous amount of memorable moments they have given us.

The Invincibles

2005-06-19T23:39:00.000-07:00

Seeing my beloved Arsenal unbeaten record coming to an end really drives my heart to an abyss. With the away defeated result at Old Trafford in 2004, many critics have been put in place ever since, stipulating the Gunners' untouchable record is now no more than a piece of history. Few commentators predicted the Gunners would finish the season 2004-05 lying on the EPL table no higher than 3rd spot. The Gunners stuck together and worked their head off to reclaim 2nd spot (when they were 5 points behind 2nd spot) and beat the Red Devils on the FA cup final. The intensity of old rivalry between the 2 massive clubs may have been eroded by a ‘third party’ in 2004-05 – the Blues. Chelsea should be congratulated with the consistency they showed so did their arrogance. The Blues have publicly vowed to emulate the Gunners' unbeaten run and soon after the cocky Morinhno's men got a timely fight-back from the tactician Arsene Wenger, saying "for us going through whole season undefeated is a REALITY, for them it is a DREAM". lol

The Gunners could, I strongly believe, count on the season 2004-05 as successful. Arsene Wenger may have paid the price of over-employment on relatively inexperienced youngsters. His faith will definitely be paid off by the talented young stars for the years to come. For now think deeply the likes of Pilippe Senderos, Gael Clichy, Robin van Persie, Mathiey Flamini, Francesc Fabregas, and Jose Antonio Reyes.

You might want to put up that football embraces large elements of varied perspectives, but the numbers do not lie.
· the 49 unbeaten run
· Biggest margin win on 7 - 0 demolition men result
· the sweet victorious over FA cup final
· the Community Shield
· Scoring 87 goals that is the highest goal-scoring team in EPL (15 goals more than Chelsea). Also the highest goal-scoring record under Wenger’s era
· Securing 83 points – third highest under Wenger’s realm
· Wenger has once again proved that he NEVER failed to steer the Gunners falling under 2nd EVER in 8 years.
· Thierry Henry shares the spoils of Golden Boot, manages back-to-back Hat-trick in spite of long-standing minor but nagging injury.

Irrespective of how the football worlds looking at my Gunners, I am still very proud to proclaim that when it comes to fascinating attacking and perfect computer game-like inch' passing football, Arsenal FC remains the only team to go for.

A writer shares his views, which truly reflects the footballing styles of Arsenal. It goes like this……
"They used to say Muhammad Ali could float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Arsenal swim with the grace of a dolphin - and bite like a shark" (anonymous, 2004)

Though the English Premier League title remains our first priority when fresh season kicks off, we will be ready to challenge the most prestigious cup – Champion League. Not only do we possess the ingredients but also we will be mentally capable of taking the trophy off Anfield.

wiLL loves the beaches here. If I were to leave Perth, the crystally white sandy beaches is one of those things I would definitely miss. Chances of heading off beaches are getting limited since wintery season just kicking in and also going to a beach seems inevitable to have a 'reason'. 'Good' reasons being friend/ family outing, outdoor activity etc... Ain't we just taking everything for granted when sometimes something makes it so easy for us and yet we yell out there should be some sort of reasons for doing particular thing that we love? If you are passionate (or obsessed for extremists) about beaches, simply take your arse off the chair and get it out there, well, even for a tiny walk. Indulging yourself with the things you love is inseparable part of life......

Hold my Hand...

A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river." The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand." "What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father..

"There's a big difference," replied the little girl. "If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go.But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."

what do u feel when u r 3,000 feet above?

2005-06-12T12:12:00.000-07:00

What sort of feelings do you usually embrace with your thoughts whenever & wherever you are taken few thousands feet off the ground? Flying with a metal object could be a mental torture if deprived of sleeps. Ironically speaking, travelling, especially alone, could probably be one of the best moments for one to re-capture his/ her past, it could outline the significance. It does not hurt trying when you are on a plane and can't get yourself in sleep next time.

Seeing is believing!!

This photo was taken in a dark & chilly afternoon. It tells a lot about how good the guitarist is, doesn't it? well... It should have been said how good the photographer is (camera effects). Many assert that seeing is believing - the Sun 'rises' from east then 'falls' at west being seen by our human eyes. Seeing is not necessarily believing. The Sun does not rise nor does it fall. What moves is the very ground that our feet have been planted upon - the Earth. Appearance can deceive, what is felt with the heart is the truest.

mooooooooo....

Thanks, Bee. Didn't really start a blog like this. Personally, I wasn'treally up to a blog on a website. Credits to Tak & Bee, the former was inspirational to me to start off, well.. the latter has been instrumental to my website (computer expert) lol.
