Bitch

You are the most unique human being I have met in my life so far. I am really salude the education you have gotten from your school and family, the confidence level that rise you up to the sky. Oh no, is above the sky.

You always point your finger to others and never look at yourself. Should you ever make a mistake? But all your mistakes have became others mistakes because you never want to look bad infront of anyone.

You always has the worst memory when you are telling the different things before and after. When others tell you that you actually said something else before, you are not going to admit it, and of course, everyone else has 'heard' the wrong thing. Do we?

You think you are the queen of the empire and expects everyone to salude you while you have never respect people in the first place. You think all other human being who is lower grade than you in the company are your slave. You instruct people to make you coffee, to bring you food,...
You love the feeling of people polishing your shoes and clap when you are praising yourself. You think you are the queen who can order everything and never be wrong. But when things go wrong, you would look at them and said :"I WALL-UP you!" Can anyone tells me what is that mean in fact? My English is too poor to even know how to write it correctly.

You think the queen, yourself is the best in whatever you do. So, when people tell something that you don't know what the heck is it, you would feel insulted and said:"I knew it, you dont have to tell me what to do."

You the queen of yourself always criticise others language ability. You think Australian English is the best. The British and American are not to your par. Oh God if in this world someone thinks so narrowly about this, I think that person, like you, should go around the world to see more of what you dont know.

You bitch is always knee down to the people of higher ranking and step down people who is lower ranking, oh to be exact, you even step down people who is in your same ranking, to bring up yourself.

Oh, you queen of yourself, do you ever think you are normal? You always say you are so unique and different from others. You think you think differently because how different you are. You think all others surround you are the norm and you are not. Oh please tell me what do you consider is norm and what is not.

You assume what you think is 100% correct. You assume you know in and out of everyone. You assume you can read the mind of others and judge the, as you perceive. You like the people who similar to you, Oh thanks God that I am not your favorite. I would rather hit to the wall and die if I have 1/100 similarity with you.

But thanks God that let me have this opportunity to come across with you. One thing that is not doubted - You are interesting. Interesting enough to let me open my eye and know that there's such a creature in this world.

Thanks God that I have granted with this opportunity to remind myself to speak sweetness to people and do not ever to be like you.

Bad Day

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
You tell me your blue skies fade to grey
You tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeeah)
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
(Oh, yeah, yeaaah, yeah)
Had a bad day
(Oh, had a bad day)
Had a bad day
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeeeeah)
Had a bad day
(Oh, had a bad day)
Had a bad day...
Had a bad day...

The BAR at the LUNA

Another cool place in KL- Luna Bar @ Pan Global Hotel. It's right next to the KL Tower.
After visited the Sky Bar, comparing with this one here, I think I like it here more. It's very comfortable mainly because of the bigger space allow for me to move around. You don't have to be afraid of falling off from the deck/ walkway. The pool is nice! I wanted to dip in so bad! The sofas seat on bothe sides are open to the half windows. There's open air above the pool so the vandilation is good and fresh air after rain even cooler!

I like the bar counter where they have a very nice backwall shelfs to display the alcohol bottles. And the upper level are good for groups or couples hang out too.

From the upper level, you can see half of the KLCC side view. Not as amazing compare with Sky Bar but looking at the pool and the poolside within the bar, it already worth the value.

Yeah I know I mentioned about KL Towel. It's not so amazing though but it's one of the selling point they have been shouted. It's here right behind the Bar.
Ray was supposed to demostrate to us how to make new friends but he 'suk sa'. Chech!
Tips: You may go there earlier around 7 ++ to take some nice pictures of KL skyline before dusk and get a good seat where you like. But if you are hoping to see people, you may want to wait till around 11pm. The crowds started to flow in and most of them are white/ caucasians.

A Bar at the SKY

I am going to show you a cool place where I've been weeks ago.
KLCC?? Nah.. It's a view from this cool place called SKY BAR located at the 53th floor of Traders Hotel in KL. You can see the full view of KLCC Petronas Twin Tower, even its outdoor garden from the window of the bar. KLCC at twilight is gorgeous from this angle.
Pictures are taken by my friends' camera phone so the resolution got to be tolerence a bit and too bad it couldn't capture the full view including the gardens with fountains and lights!

The interior is cool!

The operator uses mirrors to make an illusion of spaciousness.

Yeah I know, the clarity is bad. There's a pool in the middle, and sofas seat are set at both sides. There's a very narrow wooden deck built as a walkway on the right. Be cautious after a few drinks, you may fall off into the pool. We were trying to imagine what we should do if we fell. Perhaps a sexy post of swinging my hair when I rise from under the water? Hahaha

Well, we sat at the right end where you can't see from this picture, near to the bar counter.

Here we are at the lobby after get drunk. Oh they get drunk, I don't drink. And there's a dude taken this picture for us was paying the bill. Thanks him!

Power of +' Talk

A good article to share today -
" I remember my dad teachin me the power of language at a very young age. Not only did my dad understand that specific words affect our mental pictures, but he understood words are a powerful programming factor in lifelong success.

One particularly interesting event occurred when I was eight. As a kid, I was always climbing trees, poles, and literally hanging around upside down from the rafters of our lake house. So, it came to no surprise for my dad to find me at the top of a 30-foot tree swinging back and forth. My little eight-year-old brain didn't realize the tree could break or I could get hurt. I just thought it was fun to be up so high.

My older cousin, Tammy, was also in the same tree. She was hanging on the first big limb, about ten feet below me. Tammy's mother also noticed us at the exact time my dad did. About that time a huge gust of wind came over the tree. I could hear the leaves start to rattle and the tree begin to sway. I remember my dad's voice over the wind yell, "Bart, Hold on tightly." So I did. The next thing I know, I heard Tammy screaming at the top of her lungs, laying flat on the ground. She had fallen out of the tree.

I scampered down the tree to safety. My dad later told me why she fell and I did not. Apparently, when Tammy's mother felt the gust of wind, she yelled out, "Tammy, don't fall!" And Tammy did… fall.

My dad then explained to me that the mind has a very difficult time processing a negative image. In fact, people who rely on internal pictures cannot see a negative at all. In order for Tammy to process the command of not falling, her nine-year-old brain had to first imagine falling, then try to tell the brain not to do what it just imagined. Whereas, my eight-year-old brain instantly had an internal image of me hanging on tightly.

This concept is especially useful when you are attempting to break a habit or set a goal. You can't visualize not doing something. The only way to properly visualize not doing something is to actually find a word for what you want to do and visualize that. For example, when I was thirteen years old, I played for my junior high school football team. I tried so hard to be good, but I just couldn't get it together at that age. I remember hearing the words run through my head as I was running out for a pass, "Don't drop it!" Naturally, I dropped the ball.
My coaches were not skilled enough to teach us proper "self-talk." They just thought some kids could catch and others couldn't. I'll never make it pro, but I'm now a pretty good Sunday afternoon football player, because all my internal dialogue is positive and encourages me to win. I wish my dad had coached me playing football instead of just climbing trees. I might have had a longer football career.
Here is a very easy demonstration to teach your kids and your friends the power of a toxic vocabulary. Ask them to hold a pen or pencil. Hand it to them. Now, follow my instructions carefully. Say to them, "Okay, try to drop the pencil." Observe what they do.
Most people release their hands and watch the pencil hit the floor. You respond, "You weren't paying attention. I said TRY to drop the pencil. Now please do it again." Most people then pick up the pencil and pretend to be in excruciating pain while their hand tries but fails to drop the pencil.

The point is made.
If you tell your brain you will "give it a try," you are actually telling your brain to fail. I have a "no try" rule in my house and with everyone I interact with. Either people will do it or they won't. Either they will be at the party or they won't. I'm brutal when people attempt to lie to me by using the word try. Do they think I don't know they are really telegraphing to the world they have no intention of doing it but they want me to give them brownie points for pretended effort? You will never hear the words "I'll try" come out of my mouth unless I'm teaching this concept in a seminar.

If you "try" and do something, your unconscious mind has permission not to succeed. If I truly can't make a decision I will tell the truth. "Sorry John. I'm not sure if I will be at your party or not. I've got an outstanding commitment. If that falls through, I will be here. Otherwise, I will not. Thanks for the invite."

People respect honesty. So remove the word "try" from your vocabulary.
My dad also told me that psychologists claim it takes seventeen positive statements to offset one negative statement. I have no idea if it is true, but the logic holds true. It might take up to seventeen compliments to offset the emotional damage of one harsh criticism.
These are concepts that are especially useful when raising children."
Ask yourself how many compliments you give yourself daily versus how many criticisms. Heck, I know you are talking to yourself all day long. We all have internal voices that give us direction.
So, are you giving yourself the 17:1 ratio or are you shortchanging yourself with toxic self-talk like, " I'm fat. Nobody will like me. I'll try this diet. I'm not good enough. I'm so stupid. I'm broke, etc. etc."

If our parents can set a lifetime of programming with one wrong statement, imagine the kind of programming you are doing on a daily basis with your own internal dialogue. Here is a list of Toxic Vocabulary words.

Notice when you or other people use them.
Ø But: Negates any words that are stated before it.
Ø Try: Presupposes failure.
Ø If: Presupposes that you may not.
Ø Might: It does nothing definite. It leaves options for your listener.
Ø Would Have: Past tense that draws attention to things that didn't actually happen.
Ø Should Have: Past tense that draws attention to things that didn't actually happen (and implies guilt.)
Ø Could Have: Past tense that draws attention to things that didn't actually happen but the person tries to take credit as if it did happen.
Ø Can't/Don't: These words force the listener to focus on exactly the opposite of what you want.
This is a classic mistake that parents and coaches make without knowing the damage of this linguistic error.
Examples:
Toxic phrase: "Don't drop the ball!"
Likely result: Drops the ball
Better language: "Catch the ball!"
Toxic phrase: "You shouldn't watch so much television."
Likely result: Watches more television.
Better language: "I read too much television makes people stupid. You might find yourself turning that TV off and picking up one of those books more often!"
Exercise: Take a moment to write down all the phrases you use on a daily basis or any Toxic self-talk that you have noticed yourself using. Write these phrases down so you will begin to catch yourself as they occur and change them.

Traveller Photographer

When I was a kid, I told my mother that I want to become a Traveller Photographer when I grow up. It's not an usual ambition among Malaysian kids, at least at that era. The kids today might be different which I don't know.

My mother doubted that I can do that because I always complain when I have to walk, for whatever reasons. And we, bothe didn't realize that I actually didn't complain when I go on a travel trip.

When I am in my pre-secondary school, I borrowed my father camera, the very heavy ordinary SLR which use half film/ negative for each exposure. It was a school trip day and I used that camera for the first time. And ever since then, my passion with photography began!

My passion for travel and photography add on together and that's how my dream came about. And today, I am not a photographer, and I am not a professional traveller. But I do love the photography and travel the most, if you are asking me about my hobbies and passion in life.

I am a Traveller Photographer for myself, my lifetime memories!

No more pee pee and poo poo

It has been about a week since I started to let Hilton sleep in the house without caging at night. The first few days were disaster. He pee and poo in the dry kitchen area and I had to do cleaning every morning. I tried to talk to him as like he understand human language, pull him near to his pee and poo and raised my voice as high as possible to 'talk'. I am sure others would have wreck him already but I knew he doesnt take the 'rudeness punishment'. So, I have to be more civilize - talk.

Yesterday was great. I stepped out my room in the morning and he was there waited for me. As usual, he was really excited and glad to see me. I told him I need to go downstairs and check on the living room. He lied down on the floor in front of the stairs, two ears flying to the back like attaching to his upper part of neck. If he could speak, I can imagine he would tell me:"Mommy mommy, look, I am good boy, I didn't chew stuffs and didn't pee pee nor poo poo." He looked so adorable and I gave him a big kiss and lots of pats on his body. And I stepped in the kitchen area, WOW, nothing! He has been good. I almost shed my tears out of the happiness. My baby finally understand that he can't do his 'business' inside the house.

Same as today, he acted the same and I am soooo happy for that. I should cross my fingers and hope that he is really 'finally' understand what he should and shouldnt do.

Sunday Morning

'.....Sunday morning is a happy time......Sunday morning wipes our tears away.......'

9:08am I am coming back to my bed to enjoy my own 'me time', tend to surf on the net a bit and continue to zzz for a while before get out for a brunch. I woke up by Hilton at 8am when he winning outside my room pityly. I guess he was starved and soooo hapily see me when I walk out from my room.

After fed him, I swept away the leaves at the porch and openned the gate for him to go out for a walk. He went out for a while but came back to look for me. I told him he is fine and is okay to go out by himself as there's no one on the street. But he refused to go, without me. So, I put a leash on him and walked him for about 15 minutes before we got home. And, he was then given a borne to chew on my trampoline.

I have my 'Japanese for Dummies' with me now and I think I should get started before I work on my Power Point presentation for tomorrow....

Sunday morning is so good! Nice weather! Sunshine! Bird humming! Quiet!

Saturday Off

Today I am off from work. It's announced as an official replacement holiday for the Agong's birthday last Saturday (as my first Saturday is originally an off day).

I work 5 days a week when I was in previous company (supposingly). The company I am working for now is 5 and a half day work/week. It has been 1 year since I joined this company, I never get used to it. Especially when I feel like to go shopping, to do house cleaning, to bring Hilton for his playgroup, to meet up with friends on Friday evening and we usually chat up till midnight, and...alot of things to do.

By having 2 days off in a week giving me a full 2 days relaxing time to do whatever I want. I could stay up late on Friday nite, either hang out with friends, play with Hilton, surfing Internet, or just rolling in my bed doing nothing. And I dont have to worry not being able to get up on time for work the next morning. And whenever I feel like to get up bed, I wake up with a smile on my face, knowing that I can do things on my own speed!

If I feel energetic, I can go out for whatever I like to do, and rest at home on Sunday. If I don't feel like to move around that much, I can just lay around home, drive out for a lunch and stay home for the rest of the day. And, Sunday, will be the day, the day out!

Oh,...how nice to be able to have 2 days off!

Random

Concentrate on this Sentence

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did." When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.' Something good will happen to you today; something that you have been waiting to hear. This is not a joke; someone will call you by phone or will speak to you about something that you were waiting to hear. Do not break! Send it to a minimum of 7 people... JUST DO IT!

Just ignore the last sentence which asked you to forward to someone..... I personally don't belive it.

Nostalgia *Scottland*

Taking a break at work. Looking back at my photos gallery and found these photos taken during my Scottland trip back in year 2003. It brings me back to the nostalgia of all the sweet memories in UK. It's always fun to travel in group. I will never forgot all the silly stuffs we have done together in the trip.Yen, Amy Lim and me. The water was COLD and we were freezing but we still took ut our socks and dipped in to the water.
I think that was a great day!
