How Do You Not Think It's Possible?

Part of me is telling me, "Go find someone close, share with him. Afterall it's only human nature to want to have companionship".

Another part of me would want to keep it to myself. Afterall, it wouldn't be fair to burden others with your problems right? Likewise, i felt for others for the0ir misfortune but if situation prolongs, i'd feel annoyed. Not to mention the sense of submission and show of weakness once you start to share(men especially), which best explains why (deep) sharing amongst men rarely occur.

So here's the deal:

1) I disclose the tale.

2) Details and names remain anonymous to audience.

3) Audience's curiosity satisfied(altho not entirely) while burden is kept to a minimum.


Brilliant eh, no?

Job with opportunity?

Yeah i know, it's been awhile since I last blog, apparently laziness crept under my skin.
As someone who just freshly graduated, i have the liberty to ask this question:
What is a job with opportunity?

Clues many would look into...
-a job that promises steady raise?
-Or perhaps a job that doesn't kick you out even if you sucked at your job?
-Or even a job that you think that'd allow you to learn things that you'd otherwise miss out in your lifetime?

Recently i've been accepted into a company, a chemical trading company to be exact. The funny part was how i landed into this job, but that's not what i'm ready to share at the moment. Maybe some other time.

The first day in office, i was assigned to learn from my agm.In other words, i'd have to stick with him for an unspecific period. As my cubicle is currently under renovation, i've been allocated to a simple desk; some writing sheets, stationery, and a chair, right in front of my agm's office desk. I was in his room throughout the whole week, reading most of the time.It's not that i'm complaining but for the first time in my life, i'm actually getting paid to read! Not bad for a starter i'd say. And i took home 2 boxes of TaiThung mooncake, equivalent to almost a hundred ringgit worth of flour and egg yolk! Freebies day!!!

That's not all, this morning has been a historic one for me.
As i'm bound to follow wherever my agm goes, i soon found that i'll be attending one of the most prestigious gathering i could recall. I mean, this IS the arena for the big boys!

Waking up at 6am has never been that worthy. As my agm happen to be a committee member of some commerce association, he's been asked to help out and that explains why i'm up that early. Not forgetting to mention that he had actually drove me there from my home! (man this young chap is such a wonderful person!!!)

Fast forward to Shangri-La, where the conference was held,

8am, we had some light buffet b'fast sponsored by the association for the committees. It was in Shangri-La so one could guess how the food was. I choose not to touch that otherwise it'd look dirty in here. I'm saving your keyboard from your own saliva...

9am, there comes some of the big shots and more than half of the richest men in malaysia. Tuns, Tan Sris, Dato's arrived one after another. (Oso got lots of other not so famous wan la). From my count, there're well known corporate leaders such as the owner of IOI, Mines, Hai-O, Hong Leong, YTL, Berjaya, Lions Group and alot more... I did have some light moments with a very famous commentator cum gov think tank.

10am, there comes the real deal... At first glance, a very familiar face to many chinese for decades, who was conferred a Tun title not too long ago, followed by police escorted top ministers whom faces you would prolly see everyday on the news, including the second-in-command in the biggest collision party of our country. I've refrained from mentioning names here and you could ask me in person if you want to know and i'd be glad to tell :) Not forgetting a senior exco council of selangor who's currently standing for seputeh MP. I manage to grab this opportunity to get a handshake from her. Indeed, she's very charming, and to some extend, charismatic. And last but not least we have many VVIPs from China whom many are as high profile as ours. You'll see secretary of ministers, mayors, His Excellencies, Embassy delegates and many more and they're more approachable than the local ones. I've been told that if you were in china, normally these peps wouldn't even let you see them. They're heavily surrounded by comrades in that sense.

12.30pm, lunch buffet ala Shangri-La style. Spreads after spreads, people were spoilt for choice. But then again, due to the 'warmness' of malaysian eating culture and the 'frankness' of our counterparts' culture, the situation was abit chaotic.

We went off after lunch.
It was a really good exposure, albeit knowing not much people in person, only some committee members of the association's youth wing. Some are sons of some respectable figures and as young as i am.

I'm worried of them, my 2 best companions

Now i'm gonna talk about I and M, whom i've known since their childhood, and they've started a relationship at very early stage of age. They've stayed in my house on many occasions, so basically my parents adored them very much, much to the extend of a family member. But deep inside, my biggest concern was the way they live, given the fact that they stay together under a roof! I mean it's not really a big issue for these things to have happened nowadays, but my mum have expressed concern about this to me, and i too, have some reserved feelings about this too.

Recently, i've found out that I behaved strangely towards me, and much to my surprise (or not so surprised), she's already 1-month pregnant. By the way, they're not married, just stayed together. I didn't know how to react upon finding this news as i'm still finding a word to best express it now.

Well, the only thing i can do now is to pray for her and at the same time hope that M would be a good and responsible father.

Doctor & trainee joke (a must read for future doctor trainee!

One day, a consultant(let’s call him Dr Anderson, for nothing’s sake) was assigned to bring a group of trainees for some field practical. And so, he decided to bring them to a mortuary and show them some hands-on demonstration. When Dr Anderson finally found a suitable specimen, he arrange the specimen on an operation table with spotlights on it, and the whole crowd surrounding it.

“Today class, I would like to teach you two things, two very important things that would determine your future as a doctor. First, you must be brave. Brave to see dead people and also dying people. And of course have the courage to follow me as I do this…” said Dr Anderson as he tuck one of his fingers into the corpse’s anus, pull it out, and put his finger into his mouth. All of the trainees were speechless. Some even went out to puke, leaving about seven of them of whom were really bersemangat kental and did put their fingers in, out, and back into their respective mouths. Their facial expressions were horrible.

But not the consultant, as he was hanging a mild, cynical smile on his face while continuing with his lesson, “Secondly, as a doctor, you must be observant. A high observation skill could determine the life and death of your future patients. If anyone of you would observe this, I did put my third finger into the hole, and when going into my mouth switched to my second finger.”

Let imagination run wild

I ponder, when one day, I happen to stumble upon an ancient crate which promises me a powerful item, what would I like it to be?

a) A Mirror that tells the future

b) A Cap that allows me to read other’s mind

c) A Machine that turns me into the most perfect person on earth (physical, IQ, EQ,…)

d) A Watch that allows me to teleport to anywhere

e) A Glove that destroys cancer

f) A Potion that turns me invincible.

g) A Glasswatch that freezes time

Two questions here.

1)Any other suggestions?

2)And which one you would like to have?

Part 2: Sweet dream

Part 2: Sweet dream

It was an A4J concert! And the hall was grand, abit narrow in size which could only hold about 20+ people in a row of seats, with nothing less of its majestic decoration than some grand ballroom from some many stars hotels. The only thing is that the room was dark, with the only source of light is from the stage. One couldn’t see how many attended that concert as the crowd would sink into darkness as they sat further and further away from the stage, but there’s already some 300 frenzy crowd from where I could see, jumping and hollering to the music that was played. And I was there, busy manning the machines supporting everything from sound to electricity. The feeling was weird tho, with chill wind blowing from below, plus very high-intensity spotlights right on top of you as you endeavor across the stage. I don’t recall the song that was played, but it’s a medium slow song, led by Kenneth. I felt ‘empty’.

Something’s telling me that we’re not prepared to handle the crowd god’s giving us. We’ve always ask for more souls to come, yet we’ve not equipped ourselves to cater to that number. At that time I can only see ourselves as some people who don’t belong to there. A piece of puzzle is missing.

31 July 2008

Last nite I had a not so smooth sleep followed by an over the moon dream and an enlightenment.

Part1: Be careful what you wish for

As usual, I sleep early, about 2am. At about 3am, just as I slip into deep unconsciousness, I was rudely disrupted. Matrix(or Chubby or Christmas, depending on who’s calling), my 2-yr-old cream-coloured maltese, decided to give me a hard time sleeping and kept barking to whatever he deem worth barking. At first, I’d only drag myself downstairs to take a peek and see what is it that interested him to bark. Nothing. With a very kepoh attitude he tried to circle around the porch to find something to bark to. As I was still half asleep, I hastily opened the door and, “Matrix, quiet” He silenced down and sat calmly beside a tree pot. I then quickly return back to my nest and continue my journey into dreamland. Mana tau, 5 minutes later, that mischievous little prick started to bark again, only this time in a more irritating rhythm. On and off he goes, everytime I said to myself, “One more bark and down I go”, he would stop for a brief while. Then came a time when he barked to my nerve, I went down and, “Matrix! Quiet!”. The drama goes on in circle until the fourth time I came down (it’s really tiresome to climb the stairs when you’re in the middle of a sleep) when that became my last straw. Armed with a cane, there goes “Quite! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!........” Ahhh… sweet dreams….

My first time

There was a time I once acknowledge someone that my house is comparable to that of a hardware shop, well equipped, with whatever i want to do can be done at home, from sewing to sawing, from building a furniture to doing some light renovation and so on. But deep in my heart i reckon there's something missing. A razor. It's a shaving tool used to get rid of ones facial hair, some elaboration for those who might think razor is some kind of pisang goreng. And so time flies as we keep living, eating and kicking with some kind of 'emptiness' in me.

Not so long ago, i've been told to shave my 'mini' mustache. Guess my face isn't that fertile as they barely grow at unnoticeable pace. It takes a few to convince me to finally take a shaving and search for that 'emptiness' in my home.

And so i started my journey in search for the mythical item. High and low i've searched, gave up 5 min later. Decided to seek advice from Master of Untold Myth, short termed MUM. Pointed me to a direction with a piece of advice. Off i go.

And there it was, still in its wrapping, eagerly waiting to be commissioned to its first task.

Being a newbie in hair shaving, i can only do whatever i can based on my experience from watching tv. Armed with a soap on my hand and a razor on the other i spent my first time with extra precaution. Extra soap, extra slow on the face.

And it didn't take long. What i have to tell about my first time experience?


Sore.

A Trip To Remember

So this is what happened in my recent trip to Penang, The Heavenly Hawker Paradise. Miraculously, my weight didn't go up as expected, and i dare not tell my trip-mates for fear of my own life. For your info i pride myself of having a big appetite for almost everything edible, almost. Being the only guy on the fray i've vowed to win this eating madness that stretches 5 days long. Sigh. Shame to say that i failed u guys out there, the girls were OWNING! And it wasn't even a fair match lol...

Apart from being with my gang, i managed to spend some quality time with my beloved auntie's family. Here we went to Genting Hill for dinner (no there's no gaming activity up there, only some tempat makan angin, makan dinner, makan durian...). My gang didn't set foot on this hill due to its ridiculously steep road plus 4 overweight homo sapiens.

Up there, very friendly environment awaited to welcome us, with choice of seat ranging from hillside for excellent view to a bridge on a road, you name it. Fine Thai cuisine were also served by actual Siamese. Truly a mesmerizing experience...

While we're on the way up and down, we stumbled upon freshly dropped wild durians~ Nothing goes to waste so we carried 1 as appetizer on the way up and another 1 as dessert on our way down.

Much to my surprise, these were not ordinary wild durians. Gigantic size with tiny seeds, tempting colour of yellowish-orange, milky aroma with faint alcoholic scent. Tenderly moist texture testifying its freshness, are all the ingredients for a superior grade durian money can't buy. I reckon these 2 durians could easily fetch RM50 if sold out.

Bugs from the 2 durians forced an immediate evacuation
