The Greatest Tool: - Social Networking

One of my friend tweeted said, "how challenged social networking can be when it comes to disseminating facts vs info spread by panic + how vulnerable a typo can be." I, as a mass communication agreed with that statement! As we all know that social networking has become very common and useful in everyday's life. You can't miss out, but if you do not have connection then you have to miss out one or couple of days. But not to worry, you can go to the nearest free wi-fi cafe or fast food restaurant or even cybercafe which you gonna pay to get into it. Some addict like me, can't leave without the Internet. I will try another alternative way to get in touch with my friends is using my cellphone.

Yesterday when I got home after the afternoon movies, I logged on Facebook before Tweeter. The news really shocked me! I thought it was just rumors about her sudden death. So I turn into my Tweeter and saw a few post from friends and reliable media regarding this issue. No choice, I got to believe it! Even newspaper website already made it as the headline. Of cause she's not dead! Cause some readers confused the word "passed out" and "passed on". WTF! According to the newspaper, she was collapsed during the meeting at Sri Pentas and was rushed in the nearest specialist. During the ICU, she went into coma awhile and the brain bleed. Well, I think now she gets over the crucial surgery and now have plenty of resting. She's the greatest and most respectful director of Malaysia. She's Yasmin Ahmad. Hope she get well soon. *pray*

P/S: I really love all her productions. Wish some day I could get her to sign on my dvd collection.

As Time Goes By (Part 2: - Final)

Previous post I blogged about my trip to the beach. Now I'm gonna update on the second part which is another trip I went. Everyone always think I'm those kind of person who like to stay in the metropolitan, actually they are halfway wrong. I do admit I love to stay, but once in awhile I would like to go outskirt or back to the nature to get my mind relax and escape from the big city which are full of stress and other social problems. So I take this precious opportunity and follow my uncle's family and of cause my dearest mum and lovely sis too to the Semongok Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre aka. Orang Utan Park. If not mistaken, the last time I visited this place is when I was in my Primary 6. Don't know how many granny years back! Once again, I visited this place and I see there's nothing much there compared to last time. Orang Utan getting lesser. The place is like a mini zoo for us, but just orang utans and a few alligator, snakes I don't think so is available here.

When we first got there in the morning, there were already lots of tourist and we were greeted by the Orang Utan which is on top of the tree. After that, we went to a place where they fed those Orang Utans. Actually there is time the authority provide to feed these animals.



On the track of going to see those Orang Utans, I saw this tiny little colony of ants busy crawling and moving the things. I guess if I put my foot down, sure my foot will get swollen and they climb my whole body. Haha.



Camelion on top of the trunk! And you can see the track of the jungle. It's actually fun! I seriously enjoy the trip.

If you know the movie Beethoven (not the musician), then below is Beethoven look alike! Meet Snoopy (not Charlie Brown's pet too)! This huge St. Bernard is really very friendly. It just layed down silent there without moving. Besides that, the owner also brought along the pups because that day, there were a reporter conducting an interview with the owner regarding their dog. It really caught every passerby's attention. The dog is really cute! Snoppy's wife stay at home because after gave birth to the pups. Hope she's alright now.

That's all about my holiday!

Goodbye King of Pop

Every morning on my way to work, I will connect the earphone to my cellphone and tune into one of the station. But, June 25 totally marked a sad day which shocked the the world with the sudden nature death of King of Pop. Everyone can't believe he was just gone just like this. But just few weeks away before he going to go on his world tour again, it suddenly stop. During that day onwards, every stations no matter TV or radio, newspaper nor magazines, also the digital age; Internet that keeps on updating and playing his songs, especially his greatest hits.

The first time I get to know MJ is when I saw his Black and White MV appeared on the TV. Then I begun to love his songs and start to follow his old songs. When I was in my high school years, one of my friend, Fione crazy about him and will share with me everything about MJ. Of cause I'm not that. I just listen to songs, as long it suits my ears. Now he was gone, although it was a very sad thing to lost this precious star and the only song that I guess everyone know is You Are Not Alone. Because he left us his greatest songs to eveyone of us.

- I will miss you Michael! Do lighten the heaven with your voice. Rest In Peace. -

As Time Goes By (Part 1)

Still not turning in yet. Now listening to Norah Jone's Story and updating the post. This post is gonna talk about my holiday. Last month, went back to my hometown. I do miss my family and home, although I just went back few months ago which was during the Chinese New Year. In the future after I got a secure job, I don't get any chance to have such a long holiday again. What I did during this time is I spent more time with my family and also some of my ex-high school mates. Below are some pics which I took during the holidays.

This is the Damai beach.

On the beach, I saw the Heart of the Ocean! Opppsss. I mean Heart of the Beach! Actually it is a rock. Also, Thanks to Mr Sunshine didn't make the day bad.

Well, some friends just sat there and chit chat while I was on the hot sun tanning. I really don't have ideas why the purpose coming to beach is not on the beach but sit under a big tree. Who cares. I just do my own business. The result of the tanning is only 50%, since my skin natural color is already dark. I want to really look like those people who have so called "red brown" color.



After the beach, we went to Song Kheng Hai food center and I ordered one ice kacang special (RM1.50) and one belacan bee hoon (RM3.50). The belacan bee hoon SUCKS! Not recommended.



After the meal, we went for a city tour. I do understand this sounds crazy that I stay in Kuching and I can tour whenever I like. But the answer is that I hardly come back so I really didn't realized my city have change alot. New buildings and shopping malls (so called malles, actually si a small complex) was built up. Above the pic is the new Dewan Undangan Negeri (D.U.N) aka the State Legislative Assembly complex which is across the Sarawak river. And of cause, the sampan boat which is the oldest transportation which carries the people staying opposite the river and cross over to the another side of it. Long time I didn't take it. The last time I took it is during my high school which I study Form 2. The purpose I travelled across is to do my history project regarding the Fort Magaretta which now become the police museum. The fares given to the uncle of the boat is depends on yourself.



The first pic I wanted to share with you guys is that the color of the sky. The evening sky is really beautiful. I took this because it reminds me of the epic romance movie acted by Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman in Australia on the second one. The last pic, is te memorial of Charles Brooke (the second white Rajah of Sarawak). The memorial is actually in front of the old court house but currently is the tourism board of Sarawak.

P/S: Hope you guys can see that Sarawak is actually not a jungle city. It is a developed state. Although 60% are covered with trees. But I'm sure you can choose this place to relax and escape from the city.

Wow! That's A Surprise!

Suddenly one of my friend A pop out online and tell me he was attached lately, then also another friend B too as well (basically both A and B are friends but both of them got attached with another lover). I don't know what sort of reactions I should express towards the announcement, happy? stoned? sad? envy? or what? At last and always the same, definitely is wish them all the best and happy that they could found a partner.

But when you got onto the bed and think of it, you feel quiet sad because you're the only who is single and all the things you face are walls, laptops, books etc. It does make you "lose" another friend, because they have to accompany their lovers and don't have any time for you. Let's say 20% for me and another 80% is lover. Besides sad, then envy comes by too. You see them so lovely, and you are just another lonely guy and try to be a middle person which "disturb" the lovely doves.

Sometimes I thought living in a single life in the big city is not really a very difficult stuff. But I don't know whether I'm wrong or not. Hopefully, everyday is a perfect day for me. Bless me! =)

Way Back Into Love

Saw D today. I hope could talk again. But don't know how. Texting / email, forget about this method! At least D smiled at me. Trying to find the way back into love, this song featured in the movie Music and Lyrics. Hope to see ya again!

Mother's Day 2009

A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world.
It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down
remorselessly all that stands in its path
--Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976) 

Today is Mummy's Day! First of all before I continue to write more stuff. I would like to dedicate this blog to my beloved mummy. Although she did not read it. Still I would like to wish her Happy Mummy's Day! Also to everyone's mommy out there! Although it's not only today is mommy's day I think, instead everyday is Mummy's Day to me!

I still remember, when I was young, Carnation are always there for you during this special day. But when I turn into my teen age, you got additional stuff like Carnation and a Mother's Day Card and also a small little gift for you which is shared with sis. Today, I mean these few years, when I'm not beside you to celebrate with you, I felt very sad and really sorry did not celebrate with you. I'm just like a little boy standing there, and listen to your description of your celebrating at the other end of the phone and start to picture it out the way you enjoy it. Few days ago, sis did IM-ed me and ask my opinion / idea to celebrate with you. I told her to bring you out, just two of you, to enjoy your girlie afternoon out there. Then in the evening, dad and her can bring you out for a simple dinner. When got back home, you guys can pop some popcorn and enjoy the evening with a movie at home. If sis did not do that. Than, I will do it when I got back next week.

Mummy, I really appreciate and love you call me every night without missing it out unless it is really very late or you attend any wedding reception. I'm always your little boy waiting for you to kiss on my little soft cheek before I head to bed. But now, I have to wake up! I'm no longer that little boy! I'm already a young adult! I have to protect you and give you a kiss on your cheek instead.

Today, I see lots of people, of cause my friends are celebrating with their mummy. I'm very envy they could do that. I'm celebrate alone outside. Spent my afternoon in Starbucks and plan to have dinner in a restaurant. Tears begun to drain down from my cheek. I really miss you so much! I really hope I could got the first flight back there to celebrate with you now. Too bad, I have to delay it until next week only got to see you!

Well, I do understand some of you guys had missed your mum deeply in heaven. I know the pain of losing a love one, esp. her. Like Prince William did mentioned that "Mummy" is a hollow word for him. I do understand that. You guys do try to be strong and show your mum what you can do to contribute to the society.

Happy Mummy's Day! Once again!
