爱自己
我从来都不是一个要让自己那么累的人,但是,面对生活的压力,我向现实低头了。结果,把自己弄得遍体鳞伤。我发现我的情绪完全不受自己的控制,这是我最不想看到的自己。现在,我最想跟自己说声“对不起’。
这段日子,经历了挫败,也看到了一些成绩,幸好也体会了成长。常常不知觉的落泪,也失望、也孤单、也盼望。真的辛苦。但是,想想,谁又不是这样子走过来,一关又一关…设立停损点,挑战极限,看见更好更勇敢的自己!所以,我告诉自己,撑下去。
我要好好的爱自己...活的精彩, 是我的力量。

Mount Kinabalu Hike (30 and 31 May 2010)
After check in, we went to Island Sapi. This island is known as the cleanest and nicest island in Sabah. The sand is soft and the sea is clear. We saw nemo and other fish which made us quite exciting. At night, we had seafood, which is very nice and fresh. I love the lobster. We had ice cream on the way back to Eden 54 Hotel. Thanks for Lean Choo's husband for treating.
The next day, we proceeded to our destination ~ Kinabalu Park. But we didn't hike on this day yet, we walked around the park and stayed at Grace Hostel for one night before the hike. The hostel is very clean and well maintained. We went for the briefing around 6 pm and meet Uncle Anthony. Uncle Anthony is a 67 years old Singaporean which has rich travel experience. He has went to Everest Base Camp, Mount Fuji, Gunung Tahan and many many more mountain hiking, long driving, white water rafting and lots and lots of travelling. I salute and admire him for being young at heart and he is the inspiration for me. He has went to Mount Kinabalu for few times. Special thanks to Uncle Anthony for sharing his experience with us.
On 30 May 2010, we met our guide Jamalin then we started to hike at around 8:25 am. He is not only our guide but also the porter to carry our heavy bag. We used the Timpohon gate (at 1866 m). There is a signature Carson Falls situated 500m from Timpohon gate. The rock there is quite slippery as near the falls. Below are the time:
1) Kandis Shelter (1km) ~ 8:52 am
2) Uboh Shelter (1.5km) ~ 9:15 am
3) Lowii Shelter (2.5km) ~ 10 am
4) Mempening Shelter (3km) ~ 10:58 am
5) Layang layang Hut (2702 m) ~ 11:54 am (Stopped for lunch)
6) Willosa Shelter (4.5 km) ~ 1:39 pm
7) Paka Cave Shelter (5 km) ~ 2:22 pm
We reached Laban Rata resthouse which is situated at 3273 m around 3:30 pm. I was very tired and my muscle quite painful after the hike. Besides, I also having difficulty in breathing due to the thin air. It was very tough but it's worth as the view is very breathtaking and it is a very wonderful experience for me. I was having gastric so I didn't make it to the low's peak, the summit. I was very disappointed but to be safe is utmost important. Anyway, I am very contended. I would like to take this opportunity to thanks to my travel partners for being so supportive as I was a bit emotional around 5 km.
Along the journey, we saw some wonderful people
1) Porter carrying climbers' belongings (man or woman)
2) People carrying gas, beras and others food
3) Mountain Guide
Life is never easy and these people life is even harder. We must learn how to appreciate what we have. I will remind myself of them before I start complaining about my job next time. It was a wonderful and fruitful trip for me.

林宥嘉
最近,终于有机会看到当时他参加星光大道时的影片。我终于明白为什么他那么出名。他真的唱的很好。他在比赛时说唱过的歌,如走鋼索的人,你把我灌醉,懸崖,你是我的眼,那些日子,拔河,Creep 和Last Order,至今,我都还是很喜欢,特别是你是我的眼。
希望他持续的发光发热。

The Blind Side
The movie is based on the true story of Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy who take in a homeless teenage African-American, Michael Oher ("Big Mike"). Michael has no idea who his father is and his mother is a crack head. He has had little formal education and few skills to help him learn. Leigh Anne soon takes charge however, as is her nature, ensuring that the young man has every opportunity to succeed. When he expresses an interest in football, she goes all out to help him, including giving the coach a few ideas on how best to use Michael's skills, i.e. play like you are protecting the family. They not only provide him with a loving home, but hire a tutor to help him improve his grades to the point where he would qualify for an NCAA Division I athletic scholarship. Michael Oher was the first-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in the 2009 NFL.
I love this movie and the Michael's little brother, Sean Junior. He is such a lovely boy and a soon to be coach, I can say. he got such a talent to be a good coach by looking at how he help Michael. Go watch this movie and I'm pretty sure you will love it!

My Working Life
第一份“扮”公室经验,是在吉隆坡的一间会计公司。那时,我还在念书。那段半工读的日子,相当的辛苦,但是,这个经验是宝贵的。曾经,我也怀疑过,我是不是不适合半工读。但,毕竟那是自己的选择,也就咬紧牙关度过了那一年。
第二份“扮”公室经验,是在我家乡吉打的一间会计公司。那时我毕业了,因为不太喜欢吉隆坡的生活,于是决定回家乡工作。我在那也待了将近三年。
第三份“扮”公室经验,是在槟城的一间跨国公司。我还记得,在我还没被录取时,我的朋友都跟我说,像我这种个性的人,就是那种有话直说,从来不会掩饰的人,不适合在这样的公司工作。但是,我也相信,只要我认真努力在工作,我会有这个能耐在这样的公司生存下去的。今年,也是我在这公司得第五周年纪念。
虽然,我并不是十分出色的员工,但是,对于每一份差事,我的确也尽力在我的能力范围完成。

办公室,“扮”公室
这也让我想到,前些日子看的一套港剧[绝代商骄]里头的一个创新“名词”-“扮”公室。意识是一个人如果要在办公室生存,首先要学会扮。这不是打扮的扮, 而是装莫作样,英文是pretend. 我在“扮”公室工作也将近十年了,也学会了不少东西。但是,我相信我永远也学不会“扮”。不过,我会尽我的一切能力,做好我的每一份工作。

勇敢
我喜欢看唱歌比赛,除了因为我爱听歌,我其实更爱参赛者的故事。每个参赛者的故事都会给我一些对人生的启示,一些对生命力的感动,一份面对人生每一个挫折的勇气。
有太多的参赛者都来自单身家庭,这教会我们每一个人都应该学会珍惜。
超级偶像的江明娟,她的妈妈在她很小的时候,离开了他们。她的每个兄弟姐妹,被分配到不同的地方长大。她的开朗,让我觉得我要用开朗和积极的态度去面对人生的每一个考验。
超级星光大道的赖铭伟和叶玮庭,他们的坦然,他们的大剌剌性格,让我觉得我要勇敢的说出我心中的看法。当然,他们的表演也让我佩服。赖铭伟的那首[阿嘛的话]让我哭了好几遍,他的那首[我要我们在一起]让我听了都很想跟他在一起。:P 叶玮庭豁达的放开,也让我知道我要学会放开,学会let go.
超级星光大道的梁文音,她的人生经验,让大家对她的故事,用自己的眼泪哭出来。她很勇敢,她对每一个考验,选择用微笑来面对,这个态度,是每一人都应该学习的。她的那首[远行]相当的感动。
每一个参赛者面对比赛的考验,都会有不一样的应对方法,但就如Roger说的,大家都会看到他们的努力。这才是最重要的,结果反而并不是重点。
最后,希望大家都会勇敢的说出自己的感觉,勇敢的面对自己的人生。

My audit life
I was with a medium audit firm for 3 1/2 years. Not too long, not to short though. Life in an audit firm is easier when you are a junior...especially during off peak season. And the most happiest moment is when you go for outside audit with a group of colleagues. What is outside audit? Most of the time, auditors will work in the company as the client will send the related documents to the audit firm. But sometimes auditors will go to client office to perform the auditing work...so, this is call outside audit.
During peak season, from Jun until Aug, auditors will be very busy as most of the limited companies close their accounts in Dec (Note: company law required every limited company to submit their audited accounts plus tax computation 6 to 7 months aster they close their accounts). It's a tough time during the peak season. Sometimes, we will be asked to work until after midnight. For some people, it is a nightmare.
Although audit life is tough, but it was a fruitful memory for me..at least.

忙与盲
相信很多人都会听过这句话吧,if you think you can, you can. Law of Attraction所要表达的事如果你脑里常常想着一个事情,你将会变成那个事情。就比如,如果你常常觉得自己不会成功,那你就永远不会成功。理所当然的,善用这个道理的人,就会往好的方面想。
或许,我应该告诉自己,我不是很忙,我是在争取每一个机会。

I was happy for her....until today. I still couldn't accept it, a young and nice girl like her. Her baby is still in ICU now. :(

One day trip in Penang
We started the trip at around 11 something, the first destination was Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi, or Khoo Kongsi in short. Khoo Kongsi is one of the most dinctintive Chinese clan associations in Malaysia(others clans: Cheah Kongsi, Lim Kongsi etc) It is well known worldwide for its extensive lineage that can be traced back 650 years ago, as well as its closely-knit and defensive congregation of buildings and a magnificent clanhouse. Next, we proceeded to one of the temple near Khoo Kongsi.
After that, we took a walk to Little India. Little India is a colourful place which offers many specialised Indian stores and eating places. Next destination was Peranakan Mansion. The Peranakan, also known as the Babas and Nyonyas, was a prominent community of Acculturated Chinese unique to this part of the world, especially in the Straits Settlements (Penang, Mallacca and Singapore) hence its other name, the Straits Chinese. Adopting selected ways of the local Malays and later, the colonial British, the Peranakans had created a unique lifestyle and customs which had not only left behind a rich legacy of antiques but its cultural influences like cuisine and language are still evident in Penang today. We had our lunch at Nyonya Cafe after the Peranakan visit. I ordered Nasi Ulam and Nutmeg water. Both were very nice.
Then, we proceeded to our next destination, Balik Pulau. The town people from Georgetown called it Pulo(浮罗) in their popular Hokkian dialect, which in Malay language it literally means island but to Penang Chinese it is the name of the Balik Pulau town. The local Hakka called it Pu-lo-san-puai, which mean the back of the hill at the place called Pulo(the island). We went for a boat ride in Balik Pulau at Pulau Betong. Pulau Betong is a small island on the southwest corner of Penang Island. It can be seen from the country road that leads to Pasir Panjang. The island is not accessible except by boat. Pulau Betong is uninhabited, safe for some fish-breeding activities conducted there. The wave was quite rough today but we had a great time. Next, we went to see paddy field. All of us like the environment there as it is very relaxing by looking at the green field. Then, we had our dinner at Hill Top. The road is very steep so we decided to hike up the hill and not driving. Anyway, is always good to have some walking. :) The night view from the Hill Top is very nice and this is one of the famous stop in Penang. We end the trip around 9 something.
Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to my penang friends for bringing me to travel around Penang. I really had a wonderful day. And...Tate and Janet, hope you guys enjoy the day.

家在半山芭
这是一部充满马来西亚色彩的连续剧。它传达了马来西亚最需要的东西-民族的团结。连续剧里,三大民族都住在半山芭。导演用幽默的方式来呈现三大民族之间的相处,大家一起分工合作。有时难免会有争吵,但到最后,事情都会解决。因为大家的力量。
希望有一天,能看到这样的马来西亚。

沉默是金~海海人生
[沉默是金]是八十年代最被广为传唱的粤语歌曲之一,也是经典的一首。许冠杰写出充满哲思的词,张国荣谱出优美的曲。許冠傑很擅長將人生的哲理融入歌詞中;當年兩人合作這首歌的初衷,是張國榮面對著狗仔隊對他性向問題的流言困擾,同為新藝寶唱片的藝人,許冠傑以過來人的身份勸他[沉默是金],是錯永不對,真永遠是真,在人生道路上,勇敢地做自己,不要被外界的流言蜚語所打敗,笑罵由人外也要灑脫地做人,大步往前走。[沉默是金]的灵感来自英文歌曲[SI LENCE IS GOLDEN]。
《海海人生》是一首淡淡哀愁的歌。海海人生的开阔背后,是对人生无解的悲欢分合的了悟 。《海海人生》不是开怀笑唱的歌,而是怀抱对人生的深刻体悟,淡淡轻唱的歌。海海人生 ,说来容易,唱来轻松。然而,要唱出阮会欢喜有缘你作伴 要离开笑笑阮没牵挂,又需要何等的人生领悟呢?
这两首歌都是很励志的。以下是歌词
沉默是金》 歌词
曲:张国荣 词:许冠杰
夜風凜凜,獨回望舊事前塵,是以往的我,充滿怒憤,誣告與指責積壓著滿肚氣不忿,對謠言反應甚為著緊。
受了教訓,得了書經的指引,現已看得透,不再自困,但覺有分數,不再像以往那般笨,抹淚痕輕快笑著行。
冥冥中,都早注定你富或貧,是錯永不對,真永是真,任你怎說,安守我本份,始終相信沉默是金。
是非有公理,慎言莫冒犯別人,遇上冷風雨休太認真,自信滿心裡,休理會諷刺與質問,笑罵由人,灑脫地做人。
少年人,灑脫地做人,繼續行,灑脫地做人
海海人生》 歌词
作詞:娃娃 作曲:張國榮
人說這心情 罕罕罕罕卡快活 不通太陰沈 想著會驚有人真古意 定定嘛有人變卦 這人情怎麼才看ㄟ破
人說這人生 海海海海路好行 不通回頭望 望著會茫有人愛著阮 偏偏阮愛的是別人 這情債怎樣計較輸贏
輕輕鬆鬆人生路途阮來行 無人是應該永遠孤單
阮會歡喜有緣你作伴 要離開笑笑阮沒牽掛
其中,最让我动容的歌词是
-冥冥中,都早注定你富或貧,是錯永不對,真永是真,任你怎說,安守我本份,始終相信沉默是金
-少年人,灑脫地做人,繼續行,灑脫地做人
-輕輕鬆鬆人生路途阮來行 無人是應該永遠孤單
人說這人生 海海海海路好行 不通回頭望 望著會茫

Merdeka Ride ~ Aug 16, 2009
Again, I signed up for another event on Aug 16, 2009~Merdeka Ride. Again...this is my first time for this kind of event. yeah:)
This event is held in conjunction with Merdeka Day. There are two types of rides, i.e. professional ride (52 km) and family ride (15 km). I signed up for family ride...no doubt. :P
To me , the main purpose is to exercise and get sweat. Besides, this event also promoted the concept of recycle...
I wake up at 6:15 am today to get myself ready. Then, I met up my friends around 7 am and we departed together. We reached the starting point at around 7 something. The weather was good, and because it was a Sunday morning, there is not much car at that time. The starting time was supposed to be at 7:45 amfor professional ride and at 8:30 amfor family ride. However, due to some "unforeseen" circumstances, the starting time were around 8:30 am for both professional and family rides. We didn't start our ride at that time because there was a problem with the wheel for one of our bike. So, we took the bike to the shop and we started off at around 8:45 am.
We skipped some roads in order to join the other friends. It was a day which is suitable f0r this kind of exercise. The weather not hot and no raining. However, more cars, motorbikes and lorries towards the end of the event. So, it was kinda dangerous so we need to be extra careful. We reached the ending point at around 10 am.
It was tiring...but we had a great experience and we bring home memories.... and, we made it! Uhoo
