It’s new year!

Three days ago, I had a chance to look back and remind myself of some of the things in 2008. There are many things I want to leave behind and move on from, but there are also a large number of things I’m thankful to God for. He is ever faithful and it’s just amazing how such a GREAT God can love someone so insignificant as myself.

Well, 2008 is done… 2009 has come. Just as a malay saying goes “Let go of that which is bad, keep only what is good”.

It’s going to be another great year! Cheers ~

blink

There, you missed it!

Time passes so quickly now that I believe we should not even blink if we want to witness everything. Every second that passes cannot be repeated. Cherish every moment that brings a smile to your face, for it's those moments that count.

* * *

In a blink, a year has passed,

The past still haunting,

Even this season is about to pass by.

Each day I have with you, I will cherish.

In a blink, the weather changes,

A smile turns upside down.

The tears that were shed should have dried up,

It is time to turn things around.

In a blink, the last chapter is drawn,

The readers ask if there will be a second book.

Even if the story is about to end,

The last chapter will be the best.

In a blink, I will fade away,

and all these things will matter no more.

Like a flower quickly fading, here today gone tomorrow.

So watch while the blossoms still bloom.

Seasons

The seasons change,

Time passes never to turn back.

Have I changed?

Looking for the strength to move ahead.

 

I find myself alone.

I never expected this to come.

Looked for something

Unsure of what is to come.

 

Assured myself that it will be better

I had doubts that made Thomas a believer.

I held on to nothingness.

For all that I held on to have become distant.

 

The seasons change,

Thus far I have walked.

Why does my heart falter?

Brighter days are ahead.

I assured myself...

Once the winter has gone by,

Spring shall come again.

When will spring come, I wonder.

You said that it's okay if I can't make it today.

No it is not... It will be another year then..

You asked me if it's troublesome.

I will go across continents just to see you.

Should I?

I want to get a new phone.. Should I get it now? Arrgh... I can't decide. Help me!!!

Soon

So looking forward to next Thursday. December 20th, LCCT. I wish I could go back a little longer.

Somehow, I suddenly feel so empty. I hope that I can fill that emptiness after I get back. It's so hard to even understand myself at times.. This sucks... I hope the day ends soon... Want to go back and just sleep...

God, help me...

Too Much

FaceBook and Friendster? It's just to much to keep up with. :p

WHY do I even have both? Face book has just too much applications.. I won't be going there for a long while.

Anyways.. this is the pizza I had somewhere in Penang at a place called Golden Crab restaurant.

Just add RM 2 for extra cheese, and this is what you get. SUPERB pizza. YUM~

After the late dinner, we went for HITMAN at GSC Gurney.

If you've played the game, you would like this movie very much, but if you have not, maybe it's time you get to know who this Agent 47 is.

I want to go home... home home home...
December 20th.. How I wish I am already on the plane..
I just want to go home..
Away from the pain..

...

ok.. I just wrote something that I dare not post. =.=''

An old lady, a best friend, and the woman of your dreams

Something I got from the mail again.. But it's something very clever. Please post your answers, if you haven't got the emai! Haha..


You are driving through the highway on a stormy night in a 2 seater. As you come across a bus stop, you see:

1. An old lady who looks like she is about to die.
2. Your friend who once saved your life.
3. The man/ woman of your dreams. (For those who might be a little confused.. if you are a guy, choose woman instead of man and vice versa. Haha. :p)

Knowing that you have only 1 more place in your car, what would you do? Who would you save from the storm?

The answer:

Only 1 out of a 100 people (from the source) could give a very satisfactory answer. There's no right / wrong answer but this I would say is the best. Heard of the saying, "Hit 2 birds with one stone"? Well, this hit 3!

"I would stop at the bus stop, hand my car keys to my friend, have him drive the old lady to the hospital, and wait for the bus with the lady."

:cheers:

Even THEY think it's expensive!

I just visited an Expat website (Expat Focus) about working and living in Malaysia. And they say that Malaysia is heaven for expats that have a good income package. They agree that cost of living in Malaysia is expensive for Malaysians. Just compare someone working in UK earns 2000 pounds and a Malaysian earning 2000 Ringgit. In UK, it costs an average of 600 pounds for a laptop, and in Malaysia, RM 3000.

Just a simple comparison of percentage will show how low the living standard is in Malaysia. In UK, they use about 30% of their salary to buy a laptop, but a Malaysian, earning the same ammount of money (don't convert, just look at it dollar to dollar. I'll explain why I do not want to convert later on) spends 150% of his salary to buy a laptop. Imagine this, in UK, you can buy a laptop, pay for your rent, bills and still have enough to eat in the first month, while in Malaysia, you won't get to buy your laptop after 3 months if you consider rental and bills. If you are somehow superhuman and do not have to eat and sleep, you might be able to get your laptop after your second month working!

Why do I say we do not convert currency? This is because we are comparing between two people who have the same qualifications and they earn the same amount (not value) of money. 2000 Pounds and 2000 Ringgit. An average Malaysian spends about 10 % more on their groceries compared to their neighbours (Singapore for example).

Check out the article in Malaysia Today (it's a link... click it...come on... go ahead....), and many other sources. You will see how expensive it is to live in Malaysia. What is going on here? Isn't Malaysia a land full of resources, full of possibilities? Why are we paying so much more for goods and sometime even inferior goods! We pay about Rm 50,000 for a Proton Wira, while in Thailand, a new Honda City is going for About RM 40,000! (this value is to be verified again)


Just do a little more research on this, and you will find that Malaysia is in deed a very expensive place to live in. The standard of living is low compared to our neighbours. I'm not encouraging anyone to move out of Malaysia, instead, what are we doing to improve our lives. Is everything that we do in vain? Why do we work so hard, yet live such a mediocre life, while others in the world are working like we are but living a much comfortable life.

Isn't it time we ask for a change?
