Raya 09

2009-09-23T12:24:00.004+08:00

Went to my friend's aunty's place the night before raya and during raya. Didn't do anything there other than eating till we drop. Until now, we're still sick of rendang.

rendang daging

rendang ayam

another rendang daging

soto

kicap cili padi...for the soto

sambal kacang

this is why we got sick for rendang

These are from the night before raya. We were too busy eating during raya. After the raya dinner, went for pool afterhour and ordered this

It's called afterhour kill, really a killer! can feel the kick after the first 2 sips...why? it's a mixture of vodka, gin, bombay, tequila, bacardi, and 2 more liquor, with lime and sprite....KILLA!!

Thought of the day

2009-09-19T02:05:00.003+08:00

We are all hypocrites, in a way. We just don't admit, or even realize it.

Just saw the latest video of human killing dogs and everyone was cursing the people who killed the dogs. Ya, I know it's a bit cruel for the way they did it, but calling those peeps inhuman and cursing them to die is just a little bit hypocrisy. Before everyone starts cursing me, I shall repeat I DON'T LIKE that scene either, but I just don't think we have the right to call them inhuman and all (unless you're a vegetarian). Why? Would you feel and say the same when you see someone kill a chicken or a duck? They are living things too. No right? Why?? Coz it's meant to be eaten, coz they are animals. That's exactly how they look at dogs over there, animals! It's food, to them. Yes, the way the kill the dog is very cruel and torturing for the dogs, how do you think the animal on your plates are killed? Do you think they are all killed properly (put halals aside)? Isn't that animal cruelty as well?? and when PETA complained about it, all meat eaters say they have nothing else better to do. Won't that be being a hypocrite?

Well, it's just a thought due to the side effect of excessive boredness. and once again I DON'T AGREE with their cruelty, but I still love meat (not dog meat of course).

Hypocrites

2009-09-08T22:39:00.002+08:00

Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities, or standards that one does not actually have. Hypocrisy is thus a kind of lie. Hypocrisy may come from a desire to hide from others actual motives or feelings.

Hypocrisy is not simply an inconsistency between what is advocated and what is done. Samuel Johnson made this point when he wrote about the misuse of the charge of "hypocrisy" in Rambler No. 14:

Nothing is more unjust, however common, than to charge with hypocrisy him that expresses zeal for those virtues which he neglects to practice; since he may be sincerely convinced of the advantages of conquering his passions, without having yet obtained the victory, as a man may be confident of the advantages of a voyage, or a journey, without having courage or industry to undertake it, and may honestly recommend to others, those attempts which he neglects himself.[1]

Why do I have to meet them so many of them??????

Out of the sudden I remembered this song.

this is the type of songs which reminds us to be simple and down to earth. no matter how successful you are, always remember your roots. This is what most ungrateful successful people always forget.

It's been ages since I last updated. Reasons are coz I'm always not at home, nothing philosophical to talk about and no motivation to blog anything. And since I couldn't sleep I finally have an idea on what to write. Just some updates...exam is coming soon...REAL soon indeed and I haven't even start studying. First is of course due to laziness (I chose to blog instead of study) and also many other things been running around my brain.

Just went to watch UP with friends in the evening, the conversation during the dinner + yum cha session got my thinking of many things again. Topic was production line, career and all, which got me thinking of future plans. What to do, why, how and so on and so forth. I know I posted the bare necessity video and talking about appreciating the simple necessities. Well, I do stop and appreciate everything I have once in a while, this is more of achieving security, social, ego, and self actualization needs (Yes..it's Maslow). That's what makes a person complete. If I just want to live a peaceful life with enough food to keep myself alive and healthy, I might as well just go be a monk.

Another thing is my friends keep telling me to get a gf, since I've been single for long long time and not seriously going for someone for quite a while. Well, it's not that I don't want a gf but with this many things in my mind, it's pretty hard to open another extra room for these things...my mind ain't as powerful as everyone thinks. Sighs...for me is just letting things going with the flow and see if any soul will strengthen my mind.

However, although with all these complications and problems and so on, I still manage to stay positive. Even more positive after watching UP. The main point of the movie is, life is an adventure. After one adventure ends, look for a new one. Which makes me realized one thing and gave me another simple goal of life, but I ain't telling...hehehe.

Anyway, congrats to whoever that reads till this part and thank you for going through my long rantings. Hope I can come up with something interesting next post, but I can guarantee it's going to be philosophical.

simple things we forget

2009-07-29T20:48:00.002+08:00

Out of the blue moon this song popped into my head.

"don't spend your time looking around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinking about it"

Most of the time we tend to strife for more and worry for so many things until we forget what's really important, which is our very own body, mind and soul.

2009-07-06T15:30:00.002+08:00

A very touching commercial about the true meaning of love. Really worth using 5 mins of your time to watch it.

(the word in the end means family)

It's the little things of imperfections that make one person perfect for another, so why spend so much time looking for the perfect one?

2009-07-06T02:31:00.003+08:00

Was thinking of updating the blog with all the fun activities that happened for the pass one month until I received news of a friend who passed away. This is the first time I have the feeling of lost for a friend whom I've never met. Although we never had a chance to meet, as she was very busy and she needs to spend quality time with her loved ones when she had the time, but we've accepted each other as a friend deep into our hearts.

Now that we will never get a chance to meet, but I will always remember your words that made me want to find my worth in this world and be a better person. May you rest in peace my friend, and God bless you.

You speaking the England?

2009-06-13T01:20:00.002+08:00

It's been a long debate about changing science and maths to English. Right now the debate is whether English should be a must pass for SPM. When I read the news, I was quite certain many will say yes. Surprisingly, there are people who actually object the idea. What the heck is wrong with these people?? Finally the government is suggesting something really really really REALLY benificial for us and these parents are objecting it????? don't they want their kids to learn? Then why the hell they send their kids to school for????

No wonder I see less competitive people. No wonder singapore is listed the top 5 competitive country in the worlds, while Malaysia is not even in the top 10 list. Sometimes I wonder, are we moving foward or backwards? What's the point of having the technologies and the gigantic buildings while the people don't even know how to communicate properly??? What's the point of getting 101 As while you don't understand a single shit you copied and paste from textbooks to the exam paper?

I love this country, but I get more disappointments towards the country everytime I read the newspapers. Sighs.

Google WAVE

2009-05-31T16:52:00.002+08:00

Stumble across something REALLY interesting today. It's called Google WAVE. It's basically a communication tool brought to a whole new level. In my opinion, this is going to bring down IMs like MSN messenger, YM, etc. as it has loads of unbelievable features. It might even bring facebook down, if facebook doesn't stop changing layouts and ignoring their annoyed users' feedbacks. Why is that? Well, take a look at this demo yourself and get blown away.

Watch it here, or straight from Youtube. Your choice, but trust me, you will LOVE it.

Archie proposed???!!!!

2009-05-27T22:12:00.004+08:00

I bet everyone of you knows who's Archie Andrews of Achie Comics. Finally, the player has decided to proposed and get married. After days of wondering who the heck is he going to choose, Veronica or Betty (or Cheryl Blossom).

Many would want him to propose to Betty (so do I), but knowing how ignorant how our player is....well..you pretty much guessed he will do the opposite. Today, the long waited answer is finally out!

Yeah, you guessed it. He proposed to VERONICA (Poor Betty). Thank GOD it's not end of the story yet. Dam.....now I wanna go buy that issue, after retiring from the comic for years. (Dam the marketers + story + artist people of archie comics are good)

The Sleepless Night

2009-05-26T04:17:00.003+08:00

It's freaking 4.20 in the morning and I just woke up out of a sudden after 3 hours of sleep. Why why why why why???? What's wrong? Was it the coffee? or is it because my mind is filled with things. Many many things, due to the couple sessions of educational chat about a career and life. Too much info to compute...arghh! The dejavu craze is back, been getting hell a lot of it lately, which is not fun.....AT ALL. My mind is blur. Info-ful but blur. It's been running, processing infos from class and trying to apply it for my execution plans. But one thing's been bothering me lately. weird things....i dunno what. Could hardly describe it. I just felt.....weird. For what? I don't know. Why? I don't know. damn.....I don't even know what I'm typing......... >.<

The Mayonnaise Jar

2009-05-24T18:03:00.003+08:00

Found this in my mail box. Just wanna share.

When things in your life seem, Almost too much to handle,When 24 Hours in a day is not enough, Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class And had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar And proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students, If the jar was full.They agreed that it was.The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand And poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded With an unanimous 'yes.'The professor then produced Two cups of coffee from under the table And poured the entire contents Into the jar, effectively Filling the Empty space between the sand.The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor, As the laughter subsided,'I want you to recognize that This jar represents your life.The golf balls are the important things - family,children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions - Things that if everything else was lost And only they remained, Your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter Like your job, house, and car.The sand is everything else --The small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued,'there is no room for The pebbles or the golf balls.The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time And energy on the small stuff,You will never have room for The things that areImportant to you.

So...

Pay attention to the things That are critical to your happiness.Play With your children.Take time to get medical checkups.Take your partner out to dinner.

There will always be time To clean the house and fix the disposal.

'Take care of the golf balls first --The things that really matter.Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled.'I'm glad you asked'.It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for A couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'

So....coffee anyone? :D

the randomness karaoke session

2009-05-23T17:55:00.009+08:00

Out of a sudden ystd, one of my friend, Niki, called and ask us to go for bowling. Since this is something she suggested 2 weeks ago everyone agreed. So after picking the respective people and dinner at ampang point, we head to the bowling alley (in a random shopping mall near ampang point). Turns out it's full, and there's a tournament going. So we all decided to go karaoke, and headed for the ktv(the same place we went for Zel's bday). While waiting for the room, as usual, CAMWHORE SESSION!

After a torturing half an hour waiting, we finally got our room. And this is when the throat and ear torture begins.

no....she's NOT my gf if that's what you're wondering

After 2 hours of screaming our lungs out and torturing our own ears (and the dudes outside) it ended. And as Malaysians, everything must end with a yum cha session so we head for Lotus and of course, another camwhoring session, but this time it's candid cam...hehe

Everyone had a great time though everyone is stress about their own problems. It's a time when everyone put down everything and had fun to the very max.

Microsoft Surface

2009-05-21T12:13:00.002+08:00

Found out about something REALLY cool yesterday in class. It's called "Microsoft Surface"

The recap

2009-05-18T22:13:00.003+08:00

ok...i know it's been some time since i blogged. been busy preparing for uni and digging my student identity back. finally, the new chapter has begun, hopefully it's not as shit as the previous chapters.

a quick recap on what's been going on. we celebrated one our kak besar's bday 2 weeks ago. everyone's having a tight budget, but we somehow did it, and all of us (esp the bday girl) had a great time.

the bday girl, ZEL

First we went for a seafood dinner at, somewhere behind starhill gallery. The food was awesome, and I was busy eating till I don't bother taking pictures of the food.

beer + seafood= heaven

the garlic prawn

garlic spice lala

Later on we went for a karaoke session (which we've been suggesting to go since last year) and everyone sang their hearts out.

niki trying to bleand into the wall

and the mamas (except one of them) singing their hearts out.

That was the main highlight other than my new life in Uni.

Don't complain

2009-04-02T13:59:00.002+08:00

Got this from my friend's note in facebook. Really nice story to share with everyone

"There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them for the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear; for before they were yours, they were mine.'

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a Gift

Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.

Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who died too early on this earth.

Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive - Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.

have a great day!"

You see people, before you complain what you don't have, first appreciate what you DO have. And remember there are people out there with worse situation than yours. This will make you feel more joyful. Cheers :)

Alone in the Dark

2009-03-28T21:26:00.005+08:00

Here I was sitting at home, alone, for that earth hour thingy. I somehow just wanted to off the lights and computer and FAN to participate(don't ask me why).

kinda creepy when it's dark

this is basically what I see

but alot of peeps actually participate

but not these

But what did I do for the past one hour? These are the clues.

homemade microwaved pizza

milo oatmeal

Ya. I was eating these in the dark.

But in conclusion, judging from the amount of lights still on outside, this 'project' is kinda waste of time. Why?

people just don't/can't care. (don't deny, you're already using energy when reading this)
for those who did turn off their lights, they will go back using their lights, their air cond, their computer, their tv, their fan etc. and all of these need power, and power comes from fossil fuel which will release carbon into the air
cars still let out carbon because cars uses fossil fuel.

Well, my point is, as long as human beings are still relying on fossil fuels for energy, carbon will be released into the air. So what are the ways to produce and use energy without relying on fossil fuel? I don't know. I will be filthy rich and will receive a Nobel Prize if I found a way to do that.

My all time favourite show is back and now the story is based in Malaysia! This time instead of PCK Private Limited, it's now PCK Sdn Bhd. A long with our local jokers like, Harith Iskandar, Anidah Noor, Nell Ng and so on, this is a MUST watch series for me and many of us :D

Malaysian Cops driving Evo 10!!

2009-03-28T09:50:00.000+08:00

The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has acquired 25 units of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (with manual transmission) which will be used alongside the Proton Wajas and Iswaras as patrolcars. The purchase was rumoured for some time but the PDRM did not officially comment on it and it was thought that the cars might be used for undercover purposes.

High-performance models are nothing new to the PDRM and even as far back as the 1970s, the force had a fleet of 2-litre Alfa Romeo Alfettas, the first police force outside Italy to use the Italian cars. Marketed by City Motors at that time, they were assembled at the Swedish Motor Assemblies plant in Shah Alam, Selangor.

Full article

Remember, do NOT race with any Evo 10. They might be cops. When are they going to go undercover on the streets or housing area (there's where most crimes happen), I wonder.

The high school years

2009-03-28T08:00:00.000+08:00

I was going through my hard disk and I found loads of old pictures hidden in my hard disk and virtually rotting. Though they are old pictures, but they do bring back loads of memories when I was in high school (in form 5 to be specific). Really miss the days when we have no worries other than sitting for the over-ratted SPM examination.

this is my school, St. Micheal's Institution aka SMI aka Sperm Manufacturing Inc

These are taken during our farewell party in school. Final year already ma.

The Baldness

2009-03-26T12:24:00.000+08:00

It's been only few days I've gone bald and I've received a big amount of WTFs in facebook. Some asked why did I do that, some thought I was going through depression. Nah, the reason is simple, to satisfy my curiosity of "what is it like to be bald?". If I don't like it, the hair will grow, so what do I got to lose?

After going bald I've noticed something, nothing's changed. Nothing special happened, except for the number of WTFs I got. But other than that, I'm still the same. I'm still me. I like the same food, I still have the same goal of life, I still play COD, etc etc. Many people spent too much time focusing on what they are rather than who they are. They cared too much about their looks, their hair, their clothes, their style, how rich they look, how sexy they look, how macho they look, and so on; but they forgot to fix one of the most important thing, themselves. When we die people remember us for who we are, and what good or bad things we've done; not how we look. Our body are just flesh and meat when we're dead; your actions or your character is the thing that people remember.

Ok, enough of being kinda philosophical, back to my baldness. I kinda like it though, very cooling and I save ALOT from shampoo :D

New hairtyle!

The Virgin Post (again)

2009-03-22T03:02:00.000+08:00

It's already 3.00 am in the morning and all of the sudden, I have the "I think I should start blogging....again" thought. Yes, I had a few blogs before, but all ended up collecting virtual dust, as ~~I was lazy to blog~~ getting to a PC while the idea is still in my is pretty tough. So since I finally have a PC with INTERNET CONNECTION at HOME!, I think I should be able to prevent history from repeat itself.

A brief introduction about myself. My name is Meng, some friends calls me Chubby. I grew up in Brunei (till 10), Penang (11-12) and Ipoh (my high school years). I'm a 88 baby, and a Pisces. I'm straightforward, but I know when not to be, I can be nice but I can be the biggest arse you've ever met. I'm open to all opinions-good or bad-, I won't easily go emo over small matters as I find it a waste of time and energy. I think that should be enough.

Hope you enjoy your stay. Cheers :)
