My Journey in This Lifetime

Internet Tanpa Sempadan

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 23:09:33 PST

Just a few mins ago, I terbaca satu iklan seminar teknik pemasaran internet yang dijadualkan berlangsung di ibu negara(Malaysia of course). Mengikut iklan tersebut, 'pakar pemasaran internet' akan mendedahkan 'rahsia kejayaan' mereka dalam membina 'empayar' perniagaan internet.

At first, I was skimming the content of the advertisement. Panel2 yg diundang macam 'gah' kerana ada tertulis short resume berkaitan 'skills & experiences' mereka.

Salah seorang panel dikatakan mendapat 'award' dari sebuah pertubuhan di UK atas usaha "mendidik dan memberi inspirasi sebagai generasi baru Malaysia dalam bidang Internet dan Kejayaan".

Terpanggil untuk verify samada yg diwar2kan itu betul atau tidak, I surfed website dan award yg dikatakan itu. Surprisingly, tiada nama panel tersebut yg disenaraikan sebagai penerima award! Is this a joke or to deceive other people?

Lu pikirlah sendiri seperti kata Nabil. LOL

From my insight, jika nak menarik perhatian orang ramai utk dtg ke sesuatu event, pastikan lah fakta yg diberikan betul2 benar dan tidak mengelabui orang lain. Jika event yg dianjurkan betul2 bermanfaat, pastinya berduyun2 orang nak dtg.

Another resume yg mengelabui mata pembaca ialah salah seorang panel dikatakan 'membimbing' lebih dari seribu orang peniaga di bawah forumnya.

Honestly, terasa nak gelak guling bila membaca statement dalam iklan tersebut. Setahu I, apabila disebutkan 'bimbingan', ini bermakna seseorang(yg mempunyai lebih pengetahuan) akan memberi tunjuk ajar dalam membimbing seseorang mencapai kejayaan.

Disebabkan I juga ada participate di dalam forumnya utk menjual produk, mengikut pengalaman I menjual barang di forumnya selama lebih 2 tahun, dia TIDAK, NEVER bagi 'bimbingan' untuk menjalankan perniagaan internet. Dia hanya menyediakan platform untuk berniaga.

Yes, hanya platform untuk berniaga. Camne nak berniaga, nak meniaga apa, bagaimana nak pastikan brg terjual dan sebagainya, semuanya atas usaha peniaga itu sendiri. Tiada kaitan dengan panel tersebut.

My point is, bukannya nak kondem panel2 tersebut. Tapi, segala2nya hendaklah berdasarkan fakta yang BENAR lagi SAHIH. Bukannya dengan mengada2kan cerita untuk menambahkan perisa. ;)

Apa2 pon, semuanya bergantung kepada anda jua. Jika anda cukup 'open-minded' untuk berfikir, pastinya anda tau yg mana satu fakta dan sebaliknya.

Internet ini tanpa sempadan. Pelbagai 'info' ada di dalam internet. Kita perlu bijak memilih dan menapis info yg dibaca. Jika baca 'wrong' info, anda akan hidup dalam 'wrong life'.

I am not suggesting you to accept what I said up there. You have a brain and use it. Pastu, verify sendiri samada 'benar' atau tidak.

Kepada pihak penganjur dan panel2 yg mempunyai 'gah' resume, I am sure they have their own karma.

What is 'karma'? Karma ialah balasan baik atau buruk atas setiap perbuatan yang anda lakukan.

I don't want to interfere other people' karma. I just choose not to. Because I am focusing on projecting 'good' karma for myself.

Sometimes some people 'have to' face certain karma because of their deeds. That's how they learn their life lesson. I also have my own karma.

I know, this entry 'agak emotional'. Tujuannya, bukan untuk kondem kepada sesiapa. Just nak ajak anda semua berfikir.

If you want to see the truth, you need to look up within yourself.

*peaceout* V (*_*) V

Happy New Year 2010

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 09:12:11 PST

Selamat Tahun Baru 2010 diucapkan kepada semua pembaca yg setia mengikuti blog ini atau pun kepada yg 'tidak sengaja' visit this blog. ;)

Adakah impian pada 2009 sudah terlaksana?

For me, rasanya sudah tercapai satu matlamat iaitu maintain berat badan yg sgt ideal. haha.. Itupun hasil dari 'prescription' yg diberikan oleh hubby tersayang. Well, I was slim and slender woman but still nak maintain weight memandangkan berada di hadapan computer 'all the time' dan amat kurang bergerak.

Not only that, badan yg cantik juga adalah idaman setiap wanita, bukan? And yes, I am very concerned with my own beauty.

Oh ye, tiada diet yg diamalkan atau pun makan ''JDM 5".. heheh.. Hanya mengamalkan jadual pemakanan yg teratur dan disiplin yang ketat tanpa sebarang extra cost.

I will talk this issue in future post ok..

Until then.. Love yourself and take a good care of yourself. Nobody will take care of yourself if you don't take care of yourself.

p/s: Just changed background colors. Terasa more feminine pula but hey, I am a woman anyway. :P

Mi Sedaap Berkeju

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 03:49:31 PST

I've been watching iklan 'Mi Sedaap' almost every single day. Teringin juga nak try 'Mi Sedaap'. Betul ke sedap seperti dlm iklan tu?

Actually the idea was eating 'guratan' or carbonara. Lama giler tak mkn guratan or carbonara after came back from Japan. Nak buat, memang malas. Nak mkn kat restaurant, rasa macam 'tak berbaloi' :P At last, came out with this idea.

Yummy Guratan

credit to world group

Ok la kot takat nak 'lepas gian' kat Guratan or Carbonara. Even tho tak sama langsung I think it was 'acceptable'. Last time when I headed to Giant, I grabbed a 5-pack Mi Sedaap jenis goreng dan tidak lupa Keju Craft yang jenis slices tu..

Actually, bila makan Mi Sedaap Goreng tu, tak sedap sgt pon rasanya(utk I la..) So, I adjusted a lil bit to add umphh..

MI SEDAAP BERKEJU(masa penyediaan: 10-15 minit)

2 packs Mi Sedaap jenis goreng
2-3 table spoons blended lada kering(ikut suka berapa byk)
Sedikit vegetables(apa2 jenis pon takpe, yg ada dlm fridge)
Sedikit udang(anything yg ada dlm fridge)
2 slices keju Crafts(jenama lain takleh, tak jadi)
Sedikit minyak untuk menumis

******

Rebus mi dalam air mendidih sehingga lembut dan toskan. (Sementara tunggu air mendidih untuk rebus mi, boleh la chop vegetables ke, or prepare apa2 yg patut.)
Panaskan minyak dan masukkan blended lada kering. Tumis sehingga garing.
Masukkan kesemua perencah Mi Sedaap yg ada bersama2 dalam pack Mi Sedaap kecuali 'bawang goreng'(lupe namanye).
Setelah gaul sehingga sebati, masukkan udang dan tambah sedikit air jika terlalu kering(pandai2 la adjust sendiri).
Bila udang/seafoods dah hampir masak, masukkan vegetables.
Bila vegetables sudah separuh masak, masukkan mi yg sudah direbus terlebih dahulu.
Setelah semua bahan sudah bercampur sebati, kecilkan api sedikit untuk elakkan hangus.
Ambil keju Craft, koyakkan kecil2 dan gaul lagi. Keju Craft akan melting immediately. Jika tidak cukup, tambahkan lagi keju Craft.
Masukkan dalam pinggan dan taburkan 'bawang goreng' yg dtg bersama2 pack Mi Sedaap.

SELAMAT MENCUBA!

Perbezaan Antara EDT & Body Mist

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 23:52:21 PST

Jika anda peminat Victoria's Secret, anda mesti perasan produk EDT & Body Mist dalam koleksi Secret Garden.

apa beza antara EDT & body mist?
camne nak pilih yang sesuai dengan diri kita?

Begitulah antara soalan yang diterima oleh PrimoChic dari customers. Kami faham jika anda tidak pernah menggunakan body mist, mesti rasa confused nak pilih yang mana satu. ;) Oleh itu, kami rasa amat perlu info begini untuk anda semua sebagai rujukan.

BODY MIST
Body mist selalunya digunakan selepas mandi untuk mengembalikan kelembapan kulit. Sewaktu kita mandi, shower cream/soap yang digunakan akan menghilangkan kelembapan kulit. Seelok2nya anda pilih shower cream/soap yang mengandungi moisturizer untuk mengekalkan kelembapan kulit.

Kenapa kulit kita mesti berada dalam keadaan moisture? Kulit kering amatlah hodoh lebih2 lagi jika menggelupas dan ini meningkatkan proses penuaan.

Di sinilah fungsi body mist yang akan mengembalikan kelembapan tubuh anda. Spray kan saja ke seluruh badan; leher, tangan, kaki etc. Anda akan berasa segar dan fresh kerana body mist Victoria's Secret berasa 'sejuk' dan amat wangi.

Jika anda di tempat kerja, jangan lupa spray ke tubuh anda bila berasa lesu dan tidak bermaya setelah penat membuat kerja. Lebih2 lagi bila anda duduk di bilik berhawa dingin berjam2 lamanya yang mengakibatkan tubuh berasa amat kering.

Grab a bottle of body mist and spray onto your body. Yeah! That's it! ;)

Jika menggunakan lotion, anda mesti sapu sendiri menggunakan jari tapi dengan body mist, semburkan saja ke bahagian badan yang dikehendaki. This is the best part for body mist.

p/s: Sekiranya anda menggunakan body lotion dan body mist bersama2, bau wangi akan kekal lebih lama di tubuh anda.

EDT
EDT ialah sejenis perfume yang mengandungi di antara 4% - 10% of perfume oil. Oleh kerana namanya pun perfume, anda tidak perlu spray ke seluruh badan. ;) Semburkan EDT ke bahagian2 tertentu seperti nadi di pergelangan tangan, leher, di lipatan siku dan sebagainya.

Nak sembur ke seluruh badan pun tidak mengapa tapi dikhuatiri rakan2 di sekeliling anda berasa pening/pengsan jika anda pakai terlalu banyak. lol

Diharapkan info ini dapat memberi manfaat kepada anda semua dalam memilih EDT atau body mist. Wangi2 selalu ye... :D

Banjir Oh Banjir

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:07:12 PST

Dah lama benar tak update blog ni. Somewhat busy dengan stuffs yang perlu diberikan perhatian terlebih dahulu.

Satu perkara yang biasa didengar time musim hujan di Malaysia ni ialah 'bencana alam' yang dipanggil 'banjir'. To be honest, ianya tak patut dipanggil 'bencana alam' coz sebenarnya banjir takkan terjadi jika tidak berpunca dari diri sendiri.

Yang paling 'kelakar' bila masing-masing menyalahkan pihak berkuasa kerana tidak menyelesaikan sistem perparitan sebagai contohnya. What a pathetic! Yang menuduh tu lupa bahawa dia sendiri yang tidak bertanggungjawab, buang sampah merata-rata sampai longkang kat persekitaran sendiri tersumbat.

Bila seorang buang plastik dalam longkang, bayangkan saja jika 100 orang di kawasan tersebut buang plastik juga. Bukan ke dah ada 100 plastik dalam longkang kecil tu? Let say di satu kawasan perumahan ada 50 buah rumah dan average penghuni rumah ialah 5 orang bagi setiap rumah. So, matematik nya jadi seperti di bawah:

50 buah rumah x 5 orang = 250 orang
1 orang = 1 plastik
250 orang = 250 plastik

See.. Ada lebih kurang 250 plastik yang dicampak ke dalam longkang. Tu baruu je 1 plastik. Kalau seorang buang 2-3 helai plastik dalam sehari, dah tentu longkang tersumbat dan jadi banjir kilat. ;)

It's really 'amuse' me when watching people to blame other people because of their own faults. Seperti analogy; diri sendiri buang crap, tuduh orang lain yang bau busuk.. hehe..

Tepuk dada, tanya selera. Senang je nak elakkan banjir. Kumpulkan jiran-jiran dan ajak mereka bergotong-royong, bersihkan persekitaran yang tersumbat. Jika dibuat constantly and frequently, masalah banjir takkan berulang lagi. Kalau 'rase seronok' bila banjir di rumah, hmm tu tak boleh nak cakap apa-apa la kan... ;)

Hujan bukannya 'bencana' seperti yang dianggap oleh sesetengah pihak. Hujan amat penting kerana memberikan sumber air untuk tanaman dan minuman serta menyejukkan bumi Malaysia yang panas. Bukan itu sahaja, hujan juga adalah kitaran semulajadi bumi kita. That's how it works. Kalau tak suka hujan, jangan duduk di bumi. Duduk di planet lain yang takde hujan. :LOL:

Amat ramai yang tidak bersyukur bila hujan turun. Cuba bayangkan jika hujan tidak turun dalam sebulan. Tak lama tu, hanya sebulan. Confirm air kena catu, bumi jadi panas berdebu dan sebagainya. Oleh itu, bersyukurlah dengan apa yang kita ada sekarang.

As conclusion, look deeper to ourselves before blaming other people for what happened to ourselves. Being ignorant does not give you any good.

Nampaknya dah lama sgt tak update blog ni. I've been busy and terpaksa curik masa utk update blog ni. ;)

Actually, rasa terpanggil utk blogging bila lihat this wonderful picture. Really like this photo coz baru tau Menara KL tu cantik sebenarnya.. haha.. Selama ni tgk, tak cun pon rasanya.. LOL Well, mcm perempuan gak kan.. Kalau dah makeup dan touch up bagai, yang 'kureng cun' pun jadik 'cun giler'.. hehe..

Ok, that's not my point tho.

Bulan October adalah bulan kempen kesedaran barah payu dara bagi kaum wanita. So, Estee Lauder company telah mengadakan illumination bagi menara dan landmark di seluruh dunia termasuklah Menara KL.. It's a great initiative and do not forget, it's also a marketing campaign from Estee Lauder.

When I read bout this campaign, tiba2 je rasa 'sad' bila fikir byk pihak mengadakan kempen kesedaran this n that. But rasanya takde satu pihak pun yg fokus kpd 'root-cause' atau sbb boleh terjadinya pelbagai penyakit kepada manusia...

Of course according to scientist, a sickness caused by this n that reason. Well, doctor pun actually unsure about this coz most of them said that according what they learn at university and textbook. ;) I don't mean to offend anybody but just think bout it for a second.

Banyak sgt perkara yang tidak boleh dirungkaikan oleh dunia perubatan. A 'very useless reason' bg sesuatu penyakit ialah disebabkan oleh 'lifestyle'.. hehe.. What an extremely 'general' reason! C'mon! Takleh ke bagi specific reason? See..

I have been studying a relation between human and sickness. What I figured out is semuanya disebabkan oleh one big reason. It is EMOTION. Ini bukannya 'omong-omong kosong' coz I dah experience many times and dah jd witness so many times.

Nape I said emotion is the big cause? Next time I citer ok.. Will write more about this.

Have a wonderful day and happy2 selalu..

Drama Review - BOSS, Rescue, Majo Saiban

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 03:51:11 PST

Blog ni berhabuk sikit coz dah lama tak update. But at the same time, I did manage to finish several series of Japanese drama. heheh... The addiction is just irresistible. LOL Here is some series I have watched recently.

MAJO SAIBAN

The only reason I watched this series is bcoz Ikuta Toma.. haha.. Tak sangka lak it's a suspense and twist drama. Semuanya bermula dari kes pembunuhan dan a group of org awam terpilih utk menjadi juri bg kes tersebut. Pelbagai incident terjadi kpd mereka. Nak tau kesudahannya? Click saja MAJO SAIBAN. You all boleh tgk this series coz ada english subtitle. Interesting series. Two thumbs up!

RESCUE

I am not really KAT-TUN' fan. But the hero ialah salah seorg dari KAT-TUN group. This drama is bout an elite rescue team in firefighter division and how they do their work. This series betul2 'drama' coz ada pelbagai element such as sad, frustration, suspense etc. Overall, it's just OK drama. Jika ada byk sgt masa terluang, boleh la try tgk this series.

BOSS

This is the 'Best Detective Drama' I've ever watched. It has suspense, humor, and all-spices in it. Sometimes rasa nak gelak guling and sometimes rasa berdebar2 tunggu scenes seterusnya. I give 10 stars to all actors and actresses for good acting. This drama juga ubah my perception on detective genre drama. Worth to watch! Hopefully ada sambungan utk ke 2nd season. ;)

Aitai by Yuzu - Ghost Friends' Theme Song

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 03:48:00 PDT

This is a new song that capture my attention. It's a theme song for Japanese Summer Drama; Ghosts Friends.

This song touches my heart.. Kandou shichatta.. "Aitai" means I want to meet you.. So, this song is an expression who's missing her/his lover very very much.

Ghosts Friends is a ghost comedy drama. Not really comedy but it has some lessons for us to learn in our lives. Iffff you contemplate on the story.. For me, this drama entertains me even though I could not say it as a 'good drama'. Maa maa ka na..(boley la tahan.. hehe)

Let's sing together... Lyrics is down there..

Part 3 - Why You Must First Love Yourself

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 03:02:17 PDT

*continue from Part 1 & Part 2*

Look at the sort of person you want to get together with. You can become the sort of person who they would want to be with, assuming that you're not already. If the person they want to be with, is the sort of person that you don't like, then you'll have to let go of those feelings, because those feelings keep you from being like them.

Take the school computer nerd, who wants to get with the cheerleader. But the cheerleader likes the football players. She's physically active, she parties a lot, and is confident in herself. So she looks for guys who are physically active, party a lot, and are confident in themselves. It makes no sense that she would want to be with a guy who locks himself in his bedroom, is anti-social, and can't look her in the eye when he speaks.

So to get the girl, the nerd must become the football player. He can still play to his strengths with computers, and he needn't play football. But he needs to adopt their way of being in terms of inward qualities. If he is truly attracted to the cheerleader, then he wants those qualities for himself anyway, and he dislikes the contradicting qualities he already possesses.

The nerd that truly doesn't want to become the football player doesn't truly want the cheerleader. He wants the bookish girl who is already on his wavelength. Either way, the solution is rooted in self-acceptance. If he accepts himself, he will accept the bookish girl. If once he accepts himself, he finds that he wants to become a footballer, he can have the cheerleader too.

Once you accept yourself you will realize your true motives for wanting someone you can't have. If you want to be with them to compensate for your own shortcomings, you will no longer want them. If you want them because you want to be like their ideal partner, then you will become that person. So there is never a need to change yourself for someone else.

Accept yourself, and you will like the potential partners you can get.

Improve yourself, and you will get the partner you want.

Part 2 - Why You Must First Love Yourself

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 21:27:00 PDT

*continue from Part 1*

Do you like yourself? Would you be attracted to someone who was the opposite sex version of you? Are the people you are attracted to your mirror in terms of life philosophy, success, social hierarchy?

The right person for you has similar political and religious views. Their life philosophy, work ethic, wit matches yours perfectly. There are certain adjustments to make across the genders, for example power in men roughly equates to looks in women. But the stress in the relationship is directly proportional to your differences. A certain amount of stress is healthy and keeps things interesting, but only up to a certain breaking point.

When you think of the men or women who naturally come into your life, the ones who have the same interests and world view as you, are you attracted to them? The girls or guys who you know you could get, and just be with, just by turning round and saying you wanted them, are they the sort of person you want? Are they the sort of person you want to be? If you're honest with yourself, you'll probably realise that the things you don't like about them are the things you don't like about yourself. So you reject that person and look for the qualities you want to see in yourself, in someone else.

If you like yourself, you will like the people you naturally meet, and they will like you. If you don't like yourself, you will waste energy trying to get with people who aren't like you, or you will settle for being with someone you don't like.

There are two solutions to this. The first, and most important, is to learn to like yourself. The second, is to turn yourself into the person that you want to be.

If you want to like yourself, one way to do it is to realise that you are the perfect You that anyone could be. No-one else can do the things you do quite like you. No-one sees the world quite the same way. No-one has precisely your talents, ambitions, or lack thereof. No-one screws things up the same way, no-one makes the same mistakes and faux pas'. At being you, for all your faults and weaknesses, you would get an A+. It's ok to be the way you are - it must be, because the way you are IS the way you are.

Once you adopt this philosophy or one like it with regard to yourself, you will start seeing others the same way. The truth is, you probably are attracted to the opposite sex equivalent of you, it's just you're also turned off to them, for the same reasons you're turned off from yourself. Accept yourself, and you will accept them.

Many people think that their drive to improve themselves stems from the things they don't like about themselves. Feelings of inadequacy, dissatisfaction, or just dislike and hatred for yourself actually won't change, no matter how much you improve yourself. It is the feeling that needs to be dealt with, not whichever reason you rationalise at the time for feeling it.

It's actually easier to change and improve yourself once you accept yourself. The same negative feelings of self-non-acceptance lock us in to being those things that we want to change. Change the feeling first, and the specific details will sort themselves out.

Part 1 - Why You Must First Love Yourself

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 21:26:36 PDT

Everyone has heard that you have to love yourself before someone else can love you. The reason for this is simple - our ideal partner is a reflection of us.

We attract people that are like us. Not just in terms of romantic, sexual/physical attraction. We attract them metaphysically - these people tend to turn up in our lives.

Each of us has a unique belief system, a way of seeing the world that is slightly different to everyone else's. It's almost like our ego has a fingerprint. What turns us on, what turns us off. What we feel is important.

Our political preferences, tastes in food and music, and so on, all arise out of this belief system. Our particular thoughts and feelings resonate with different aspects of the world around us. If your thoughts are dark, you like heavy metal. If your thoughts are happy, you like cheesey music. We like certain foods, like for example, coffee, because of the way they make us feel.

The types of people that come into our lives are affected by our beliefs. We meet people who have made the same sorts of choices we make. Where to live, which bar to go to, which supermarket to shop at. All these choices reflect our values and our way of being from day to day, minute to minute.

When you enter a seminar or lecture theatre, where do you sit? On the front row where you can ask questions or the back where you can fall asleep without being noticed? Our personality is reflected in the places we turn up... and so we end up being surrounded by people who are the same way.

Romantic compatibility has a lot to do with this. Why do we always ask our love interest what sort of music they like? We want to know they are on our wavelength. We want to know they are drawn to the same emotional experience, so we can trust that they will understand us.

It seems like this is easily faked. All you have to do is listen to someone talk passionately and agree with them. Find something from your own experience that is similar emotionally and share it. But this can be hard work. It's much easier if your passions really are similar emotionally. That way, things just happen.

The problem comes when you are romantically attracted to people who are not on your wavelength. This means, people who are not right for you, but who have something that you respect, or admire, or just desire. You want to be with the other person to feel good about yourself, to fill some hole inside you or to change what other people think about you. These relationships are doomed to failure from the start, because of the amount of energy it takes to maintain them.

Using Both Hands

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 19:41:01 PDT

Last night I stumbled upon a blog of a business owner. He wrote his experiences on a seminar in China.

He said, one of things he learned from his trip is... Exchanging business card using both hands and bowing.

Yes, business card is very very important when you are in business. Other clients can remember who you are and they can contact you using information from your business card.

It reminds my experience when I worked in Japan. I did learn exchanging business cards with clients using both hands. Then you say "yoroshiku onegai shimasu"(use to ask someone to do something) and bowing to your client. If you hand over your card using a hand, it considered as 'non-business manner' or 'rude'.

For me, it's a unique and interesting culture. From my experience, I felt honor and appreciative when using both hands to exchange business cards.

It's very simple. You hand over your card using both hands and you also receive other' card using both hands as well.

Maybe bowing is not our culture but I think using both hands to exchange business card looks professional, polite and it means you are ready to do a business.

Kisah Kura-kura

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 23:02:52 PDT

Just browsing around and found interesting story to cheer up your day ;)

****************
Pada suatu hari, ada 3 ekor kekura (kura kura) nak gi bekelah bersama-sama. Kekura pertama membawa makanan, Kekura kedua membawa minuman, sedangkan Kekura ketiga tidak membawa apa-apa pun selamber jek lenggang perut. Di dalam perjalanan tiba-tiba ujan pun turun dengan lebat dan derasnya, sehingga mereka tak boleh meneruskan perjalanan. Kemudian timbul perbualan di antara mereka…

Kekura I : ermmm….. salah sekor dari kita mesti balik untuk amik payung. Siapa yang nak pegi ni?

Kekura II dan I saling pandang memandang, dan sepakat menuding Kekura III

Kekura III : Tak nak ahhh. Aku jalan lambat dan nanti aku nak sampai sini lagilah terlambat. Nanti sure nkorang bedal makanan ni semua..

Kekura II : Takk lah. Kita orang tunggu sampai nko datang.

Kekura III : Betul??? Kalau aku lambat 1 jam?

Kekura I & II : Kitorang akan tetap tunggu

Kekura III : Kalau 3 jam ??

A Funny Truth

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 03:15:43 PDT

A couple days ago, I registered myself on Malaysia's government website to use some features there.

You gotta put your EXACT name just like on your IC. I tried to register but email confirmation told me that it wasn't successful because my name DOESN'T match with my IC number. Hmm.. I tried it again and I thought it caused by 'binti'. I skipped 'Binti' at first registration.

I was very confident my registration would be successful at 2nd time. But then.. arghh.. Still.. UNsuccessful.

Curious with what happened, I took my IC and read it again. "Camne lak bole failure ni!" geram la jugak kan.. hehe..

By the way, gov's wsite is linking to Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara record. So, if they detect an error, they will reject your application immediately.

After looking at my IC for a minute, I just realized there is a 'weird' on my name. It should be NOOR but on IC, it has been written as N0OR! Ok, do you realized what's going on? My name is supposed to be has two 'O's, but a people at Jabatan Pendaftaran made a mistake and typed 0(zero) and O!

So, you 'cannot' call me 'nor' bcoz my name is N-0(zero)-O-R. hehehehehehhe....

Finally it answered a question on my head for several years coz memang perasan satu 'O' kecik, n satu 'O' lg bigger than the other one. I thought it was printing issue, tak sangka langsung it is 0(zero).

Then I continued the registration by typing N0OR.. And you know what? IT WAS successful!

Hmm lepas ni, nampaknye kena apply new MyCard. Leceh kan! Because of other people's mistake, kita kena dok buang masa hours and hours to apply a new card.

Morale of the story:
1. Takyah letak nama anak NOOR.. bcoz ada possibility a mistake happens just like me. hehehe.. :D
2. After collect IC kt Jabatan Pendaftaran, be sure you check yours IMMEDIATELY. Jika ada any mistake, you boleh reapply again on the same day. :P

Oh by the way, this is the 2nd time my IC has a mistake. At first, alien card(IC in Japan) also had a mistake. Should be female but they wrote male. So, I lived in Japan as 'male' for 4 years. Again, malas nak apply new alien card bile tgk ada mistake on the card. At last, apply gak the new one right before applying work visa in Japan. Tu pon pasal Japan Immigration dah bising2 suruh apply new one. :p

Sape2 yg working at Jabatan Pendaftaran, be sure you all tengok betul2 kat application form tu. Then type it ACCURATELY. I understand we are human who are not perfect but please please jangan berangan time wat keje.. ;)

Hantu Lebuhraya Ayer Keroh??

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:56:51 PDT

Sapa pernah lalu lebuhraya Utara-Selatan? Rasanya 99% dari kita selalu gunakan lebuhraya Utara-Selatan utk pegi bekerja, jalan2 dsb..

I have a story to share. It wasn't my experience but someone I know experienced this. This chick salu experience 'hantu' at her home. Since I never experienced with 'hantu thingy', to be honest it's hard to believe it.

Ok.. Let put it aside and focus on her story.

One day on the way back to her home from north to south of Peninsular Malaysia, she n hubby stopped at Kawasan R&R Ayer Keroh Melaka. It was midnight and her hubby decided to stop and take a nap before continuing their journey. Time diorg sampai R&R tu, other vehicles masih byk lagi. So, diorg pun stop and take a nap in their vehicle.

Then tiba2 this chick terjaga dari tdo. She said tiba2 je ternampak satu lembaga berpakaian putih, rambut panjang mengurai(ala2 Sadako dlm movie The Ring :p) while holding 'a baby' dan 'berjalan'(maybe kot) towards her.

She was scared and terus kejutkan her hubby. They left that place immediately and figured out takde other vehicles except them only.

I've been hearing stories about 'ghosts on highway' even though tak dpt dipastikan kesahihannya. Yerla kan, sendiri tak penah nampak, so susah sikit nak believe. Of course I intend I don't experience it for the rest of my life. heheh..

According to Japanese research, we tend to delude ourselves by imagining scary things at night. It's a mind. When we think of ghost consciously or unconsciously especially at night, we tell to mind that what we see is a 'ghost' even though ghost is not exist in front of us. That's how it works.

In other words, we delude ourselves.

Pernah experience 'burung pungguk' game time gi camping? I don't know how about you but I played that game. It was interesting game yet scary. Actually it was a part of motivation program that I joined when I was high school.

We all masuk dalam woods tgh2 malam.. Pastu dipisahkan antara satu sama lain dlm jarak say, 10 meter away. I forgot how far it was. So, duduklah sorang2 dlm hutan tgh2 malam camtu dalam masa half hour. Half hour was not long but bila duduk sorang2 terasa lama giler.. LOL

My spot was very close to anak sungai. It was very very quiet. Berbagai bunyian2 boleh dgr. I could hear daun jatuh ke dalam sungai. Ranting patah, bunyi titisan air jatuh, bunyi derapan kaki(even tho takde sapa yg berjln around me) etc. Not only that, I started seeing 'a ghost like' in front of me.. hehe.. It was lembaga putih.. But bila tgk betul2, bukannye hantu. It was a reflection from moon light. Kebetulan time tu cahaya bulan cukup cunn je menerangi kegelapan malam. ;) Time tu dada cukup berdebar2 kencang..

It was a kewl experience though.

My point is, our mind is very very powerful. We can create things just by thinking of it. If you think 'ghost', you give a sign to your neurons that you see 'ghost'. If you don't want to see a ghost, then simply DO NOT think about it. Very simple, right? :)

A Reality In Kungfu Panda

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:17:38 PDT

Last weekend finally dapat gak tengok movie Kungfu Panda. I know it's pretty 'late' but it's better late than never. hehe..

I like some scenes & 'quotes' in the movie such as:

1. Nothing is accident. >> this is very true bcoz in our reality world, nothing is coincident. It seems like things have been 'set' for you. Tiada 'kebetulan'. For example; when you choose to do A, you will face certain consequences whether you like it or not. Then when you choose to do B, you will face other consequences. Nothing is 'wrong' or 'right' bila choose A or B. It depends on how you see it and how you face it.

2. Po(panda) eats when he upset. >> Oh! This always happens for everyone especially to women. I called it as 'emotionally eating'. I'ts a 'dangerous' habit bcoz when you eat foods, you are in 'unconscious' situation. Of course you eat dalam keadaan sedar BUT asyik sgt mkn sampai tak sedar how much dah masuk dlm perut. Bila timbang weight kat scale, rasa 'shocked' camne boleh jd that berat. Sounds familiar? Well, just be sure you eat when you hungry and stop when you are full. Not because of the foods are very delicious. You need to control your mind and don't let your emotion controls yourself.

3. The true warrior is yourself when you believe in yourself. >> Have faith. Have a confidence that you can make it happen. Most important, be yourself. Tak perlu berpura2 hidup utk mencapai 'standard' org lain. Every people has their own 'standard' and it's not necessary for you to fulfill others'. Sometimes I am sad to see many people are trying to be 'other people'. Tak salah utk kita admire seseorg tapi bila you menjadi org lain, you hilang your identity.

I love watching movies because there is a lot of things we can learn in this life. In fact, you can learn every single things that happen in your life. ;)

Stand Up - A Silly Yet Funny Drama

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Sun, 17 May 2009 08:33:00 PDT

The only reason I watched this drama is because of Yamashita Tomohisa(2nd from left) & Narimiya Horiki(3rd from left). hehe..

I thought Yamashita Tomohisa is a kakkoi actor when watching him in Nobuta Wo Produce. Starting from there, I started watching almost all of his drama such as Code Blue & Kurosagi. Even I already watched him in Proposal Daisakusen, to me his acting only 'maa maa ka na'..

For Narimiya Horiki, I just noticed him when watching Bloody Monday and played as 'J'. For me, it is such a good fiction drama and he played very well. Really love his character in Bloody Monday. Again, even though I watched a lot of his drama before this, his acting didn't give a huge impact to me. You can watch Narimiya in Ima Ai Ni Yukimasu & Innocent Love.

At first I didn't feel to watch this STAND UP. I read the synopsis but it seemed nothing special in it. One day I decided to give it a try. You know what? I enjoyed every episodes of this series.

I truly truly love it. It's just extremely hilarious with sort of 'silly' and notti scenes. Yet still it has a 'good message' to all single women/men; protect your virginity until you get married. ;)

Mother's Day

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Wed, 13 May 2009 19:09:00 PDT

This year, Mother's Day celebrates on 10 of May. For most parts in the world, it celebrates on 2nd Sunday in May.

We all know that Mother's Day is to celebrate and honor our moms. There is so many ways to celebrate this day. Some people give gifts to their moms.

By the way what is the reason you say 'Happy Mother's Day' or giving a gift to your mom on Mother's Day?

Is it because you truly love your mom or just wanna show to mom that you are a 'good' son/daughter? Well, only you know your real intention. There is no 'wrong' or 'right' but I think it indicates your sincerity.

When I think about this deeply, why do we say 'I love you, mom' or giving a gift on Mother's Day only?

It's just does not make sense at all. If you love your mom very much, you gotta tell her whenever you feel it. If you wanna give a gift to your mom as a symbol of appreciation, then you gotta give a gift at anytime. Not only once in a year.

Something to ponder...

Anger Management

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Thu, 07 May 2009 01:14:00 PDT

Anger is the feeling that makes your mouth work faster than your mind. - Evan Esar

I came across with a quote today as written above. Ahh.. How 'true' it is.

It also reminds me to 2003 movie title 'Anger Management' starring by Adam Sandler. ;) A funny movie and we can learn a lot from it.

Anger is a negative energy and controls a person's mind when she/he is not centered. Sometimes I meet a person who stays calm even the other party is mad at her/him. And sometimes I meet a person who is easily going nuts when something occurs to her/him.

Definitely, anger can be controlled by our minds. But it only works when we master our minds.

Happily Ever After

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Sun, 03 May 2009 04:37:02 PDT

I just finished watching Japan drama title 'Kurosagi'. Its an interesting plot about a swindler swindle other swindlers. Even thought its not a 'right action' but the drama has 'good' moral value and has something to contemplate on.

I enjoyed watching all episodes even some scenes were 'too draggy' and bored. They also released a movie as continuation of the series but the movie is pretty bored. Just to 'warn' you that you cannot have high expectation on the movie. lol

In one of Kurosagi episodes, there is a dialogue about Cinderella.

After we read Cinderella story and close the last page of the book, we always think that Cinderella will live happily ever after. But the truth is Cinderella's life is just about to begin right after we close the last page of the book.

Have you ever imagined what happen to Cinderella after shes married to her Prince Charming?

There is many possibilities happen to Cinderella such as she might cannot adjust herself in royal family because she is just a commoner and this might result a depression or stress. The Prince Charming might have a mistress and Cinderella will upset on her hubby's behavior. Other possibility is they might be together for several years and get divorced after that. Or Cinderella might be very happy with their marriage and having cute kids. And the list goes on and on...

Many of us always forget the 'truth' or reality of life. The real chapter is just started after you get married.

Loving phase is not same as marriage phase. Some couples can stay as loving couple for 10 years but get divorced after 2 years marriage. While others know each other for only several months but their marriages can last till their death.

No matter which case you are in, your happiness is the most important thing.

Saying Nice Things

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 19:00:01 PDT

I always discuss things with my hubby. I love to hear his insight whether its about relationship, business or life.

Recently we discussed about how people in the states(U.S people especially) love to say 'nice things' to other people. For example, its easily to hear they say "its great, its awesome, excellent, fantastic, good job" and so forth.

This is from my observation and my experience in the U.S. Sometimes, cakap sikit je but diorg reply 'oh, thats awesome'.. At first, I could not understand why its 'awesome' to them. heheh.. Al maklumla, bukannya budaya Malaysian suka cakap camtu kpd org lain. So, rasa 'surprised' mula2 tu..

But for American, its a culture for them to saying 'nice things' to other people. Its a 'good' culture and I respect them for that.

Finally I do understand why people are so blessed and living with full of abundance. Simply it because of our own deeds. It might seem 'small' but it has a 'HUGE' effect to our karma.

If you think your life is so 'corrupted' or 'like hell', do sit and think what you have done to yourself in the past. You might hurt other people unintentionally. You might curse other people when you got mad. And the list goes on....

I feel so humble when I think about this.

Now, we are collecting our karma. A result that what we did and decided in the past.

To ensure 'good karma' in our life, we need to do 'good/nice' things now. Not tomorrow, not next week, not later. But NOW.

Hantu? Antara Sains & Ilusi

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 00:34:00 PDT

Mesti ramai di antara kita pernah dengar atau mengalami pengalaman bertemu dgn 'hantu'.

Betul ke hantu benar2 wujud atau sekadar ilusi? Kita sendiri tahu kadang2 ilusi membuatkan fikiran yg rasional menjadi tak rasional lebih2 lagi jika perasaan takut menguasai diri.

What I am gonna tell you here is this 'ghost phenomenon' can be explained through science.

Percaya ke? Well, anda sendiri tentukan nak percaya atau tak coz u create your own world.

Dalam drama Japan siri terbaru bertajuk 'Kiina', 'abnormal phenomenon' ada dijelaskan melalui eksperimen sains termasuklah 'ghost' atau 'roh jahat'. Surprised surprised?

Aha.. Please do not touch religious thingy. Just think it through from your clear mind because only clear mind can see the truth.

Dalam episode 5 siri Kiina, ada dijelaskan kenapa hantu sering dikaitkan di hospital dan ianya menjadi famous rumours coz ramai yg claim penah jumpa 'hantu'.

Example 1:
'Strange sound' di hospital disebabkan oleh gelombang bunyi yg dibawa melalui lubang angin/air-cond di ceiling. Jika ada orang bercakap di tingkat 3, sound bercakap tu akan melalui lubang angin/air-cond dan boleh didengari di tingkat 1. Ianya menjadi lebih jelas pada waktu malam coz malam memang sunyi. As a result, org di tingkat 1 akan mendengarnya seperti 'strange sound' and conclude it as 'hantu'. Perkara ini boleh dibuktikan melalui eksperimen. Lebih2 lagi mmg ada di fikiran manusia normal dan terpahat kukuh bahawa "hantu wujud dan keluar pada waktu malam". Secara tak langsung, kita akan misunderstanding dan berilusi mengikut apa yg ada di dlm fikiran kita.

Example 2:
Nampak bayangan objek lain di cermin pada waktu malam yg disangkakan 'hantu'. Ianya terjadi disebabkan oleh keadaan persekitaran cermin tersebut, material cermin(coating part) dan panjang gelombang cahaya. Bila kita berdiri di depan cermin pada jarak tertentu, nilai tertentu pada panjang gelombang cahaya dan shadow kita serta material cermin itu sendiri boleh menerbitkan satu bayangan lain pada cermin, bukannya diri kita sahaja. Kebanyakannya menyangkakan bayangan lain sebagai hantu walaupun sebenarnya adalah bayangan diri sendiri. Normally, bila tgk cermin, nampak kita ada satu je kan, tak pernah nampak lebih dari satu. So, bila nampak ada dua, fikiran kita memberitahu bahawa ianya ialah 'hantu'. Again, its misunderstanding dan ilusi yg bermain di fikiran. Fenomena ini boleh dibuktikan melalui eksperimen jua..

Well, byk lagi example yg tidak disebutkan di sini. Strange things byk terjadi di hospital coz sudah ada setting perasaan 'takut' di dalam fikiran. No matter what kind of 'fear' it is. It differs from one mind to other mind.

Sudah menjadi adat, kepercayaan dan superstitious di mana2 juga bahawa hantu itu wujud. That kind of thinking is already nailed deep down in our consciousness since we were kids no matter what race we are.

It does make sense that you create your own world. When you believe to 'ghosts', you will tell your minds that strange things IS 'a ghost'. When you don't, then you don't experience it.

What you experience is not same as other people's experiences coz your mind/consciousness is different from other people.

Tepuk dada, tanya selera. Anda sendiri yg tentukan dunia anda. Nobody else!

Piano Cover by Fuzoh

trendy1104@yahoo.com — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 23:16:59 PDT

I am very adore piano sound. To me it gives a harmony and peaceful sound in my spirit.

Stumbling upon youtube, I found out a very very good indie pianists such as David Kyles, Fuzoh and the like..

I truly like this piano cover performed by Fuzoh. Can't get enough of it. To be honest I don't know this song even though it's a song from Beyonce.. hehe.. But I really love the way Fuzoh performs 'Halo'. Don't want to listen the original song. Fuzoh's version is a brilliant work.

Definitely.. Fuzoh rock! Ahaks..

I think I am flying on the sky with my beloved hubby while listening this song along our journey.. ;) Its just an amazing performance!

What do you think?

Do you like this song on piano or the original one?
