Happy Mid Autumn Festival

Happy Mid Autumn Festival !!!

yes its that time of the year again... where when I was a kid I use to look forward to it. Paper Lanterns, candles, mooncakes, pameloes and the best part we get to stay out late and walk around in the dark with only a lit paper lantern in our little hands with a bunch of friends. Not to mention playing with fire hahahha... no worries its under adult supervision that time... Lol...

During this time as well chinese friends and family will gather to admire the bright mid autumn harvest moon. Well lets say good old fashion friends and family bonding time ^^

Unfortunately this year its kind of downy gloom night because it rained really heavy. Oh well that doesn't stop me from cheering the places up by putting up paper lanterns on my balcony... ^^

The neighbouring kids went Wooo wow... pretty... even though it was a few lanterns lesser than 2 years back but never the less it brought smiles

- this was exactly 2 years back my younger nephew brandon says "I'm the light of the world!"

- and I have been tagged along... LOL -

- and PoPo (mom) too -

- this year few lanterns -

- and this year my dragon and doreamon joined the team hahaha I found them in a box of memories -

Well I think traditions like this should be preserved in the family because nowadays kids only sit in front of the computer and doesn't know the meaning of family and friendship.

every cloud has a silver lining

Things are getting better for me as they seem to be. :)

Even last night I caught a slight head cold and a fever and then this morning I lost my voice but I'm recovering.

Things at university are starting to clear up.

Things are coming back to normal.

And a lesson learned from all these...

"THINGS ARE ONLY AS GOOD OR AS BAD AS YOU MAKE THEM SEEM."

I Pay for Service and I Get SAMAN????

YES YES... INDAH WATER sorry to Say Your SERVICE STINKS

You all must be wondering what's the commotion about. Well today INDAH WATER came to pay me a visit with a SAMAN and a court order if I don't pay up. They claim my house hasn't been paying for the service they provide. BUT the thing is I pay every time. And this guy from Indah water keep insisting when its not even on my name, some guy (mohd shafie) but on my house address. I was like WTF??? You want to saman me and its not even on the correct owners name.

So fine I was nice enough to explain to the guy that they got the wrong house because I just payed the bill and there's no previous owner that's called mohd shafie, I'm the only owner. And, I have been living in this house for 20 years even before Indah Water came up. I showed them my receipt for paying and they tell me hmmm it must be a misunderstanding. So situation settled or so that is what I thought.

Later in the evening, I checked my post box and OH JOY... they left the saman in my post box. =_=" I'm practically annoyed!!!! I spent like half an hour explaining they got this wrong and I don't know whether they are just F***in LAZY or STUPID to insist on this.

WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE DO YOU ACTUALLY HIRE, INDAH WATER???

This is such an inconvenience! Not only I have to make my way to damansara to settle this but to spend time settling this matter when the fault is not even mine!

Midnight memoirs

Is He?

Could just a kiss tell you that he is the one,

To, not just be pleasurable;

But, that spark, that connection, of two souls,

Together.

Travelling a timeless space of forever.

In that moment, you have never felt so whole.

You have found that missing piece.

And, After that,

All you ever want is that kiss,

from that sweet lips of ecstasy.

Heaven in reality.

Muse

A muse to me.

He plays the piano with no doubts.

I lay watching from the corner.

Listening to his soul soar.

Singing through his fingers,

My soul drifts.

My heart races and stops.

Following his momentum.

Sweet melody together in harmony.

My Muse.

illegal immigrant scare

It was a fine morning at my apartment till late morning turned into a drama scene when i heard thing fell from the top floor of the building. At first, I thought some movers dropped some stuff from the top floor but then the sound of stuff breaking and people yelling got louder. So I went out to the corridor to check out whats going on and less than a sec a big flower pot fell in front of me. I was like WTF!!!... and more pots and other stuff came flying down. The neighbours was out and mom came out. Everyone told the guy not to throw stuff and instantly he threw the pots at everyone. Then started aiming at peoples cars from the balcony.

=my upper neighbour's house got victimised=

=the view from in front of my house=

So we called the police because the situation was getting out of hand. The guy was an illegal immigrant from Myanmar who just came into Malaysia! He was dead drunk and high on drugs and was very angry. Anyways around 5 people made the call to 999 their response was so slow that we have to call the local areas police station. Took them nearly 45 mins to get here when the nearest police station is 5 mins away.

The guy got arrested. Then we had to make a the report which took us the whole day. (I just got back from the police station) And when we got back the entire apartment was in a mess everywhere had glass, pots, soil, plants, etc etc.... so have to clean up the mess!

Now the community here is very concern of the foreigners staying here. Its not we don't want to be welcoming or courteous to them but they are causing lots of unwanted problems to the community. It so happens it back to school week that no children is playing at the lower ground if not someone would have got badly injured or maybe died!

visiting alex and malacca

I just got back from malacca for the weekend. Decided to head down to visit Alex who I haven't met up since ages.

Anyways Alex showed me around town for sight seeing eg: christ church, st. paul's church (more like a tomb), menara taming sari (which was kind of a total waste of money because it was a really fast ride and not exactly a spectacular view), went shopping at jonkers walk and etc etc.

=christ church=

The best part of the trip was the food at the portugese settlement, good food with a great atmosphere of the seaside and of course great company (Alex). ^-^

=alex goofing around with the hat=

Overall I had a great time! Really nice short break to take my mind of stress.

Thank you Alex for inviting me over... Big Hugs and Kisses for you ^-^

From Pick Pockets to Push Pockets

I received this email from a friend and it says... "BEWARE OF PUSH POCKETS"

The term pick pockets actually means somebody a.k.a thief that picks out of your pocket a.k.a stealing from your pockets.

So what is a "Push Pocket" ?

It's the reversed of a Pick Pocket with a twist. Take for an example:

Somebody slips something into your pocket or bag, like a mobile phone or a wallet with an ID card and a few cash in it WITHOUT you knowing it. And a few minutes later, that somebody a.k.a "the owner" confronts YOU "the thief" and he makes a big commotion about it.

You, caught unaware, are then pulled aside by "the owner" for a settlement. You are intimidated and threatened that if you do not pay up, the police will be brought in.
If you pay up, "the owner" lets you go. If not, the police will be brought in. Besides that, coincidentally there's a witness a.k.a "the owners accomplice" saw you steal it.

So this is another extortionist operating in day light. And, the worst part of the whole scenario is that unless you pay the ' quoted settlement ' money, they will put you in real trouble by calling the police not only that the "real culprit" gets back its belongings and the "real victim" (i.e could be anyone of us) is thrown in the lock up by the police and charged in court for something you didn't do.

So much of taking precaution of not getting picked pocket when you get victimised as the thief and get robbed at the same time...

SO WHAT CAN WE ACTUALLY DO ABOUT IT?

any suggestions and comments?

Night Of The Keys Concert

Yes Yes I went to the "Night of The Keys Concert" thanks to Teoh's invitation... Well this is actually an annual worldwide event and this year Malaysia hosted it.

Although we were late because Teoh mistaken the time for 830pm instead of 800pm... Luckily we didn't get locked out *bleuk* we missed the opening show of the "tudung periuk" song on the accordion.

But the night was fantastic and technology played a big part in it. I had no idea you can have an entire band playing on an accordion!!! Yes The Roland V-Accordion was featured in the show... And it sure did gave an explossive performance. It was played by Ludovic Beier. Fantastic Musician!

Other inspiring musician played on the show as well like Ryoki Yamaguchi from Japan on the Organ, and local musicians as well, Ko Chuan Li, Kong Su Mei and Lynn Kang.

Well it was a really good concert. It sure made my day after weeks of depression.

THANKS TEOH ^-^v

fairytale ended...

This explains how I feel this past weeks

Rihanna feat ne-yo
Hate That I Love You lyrics

Yeah... hey... Oh...

[Rihanna:]
That's much I love you (yeah)
That's how much I need you (yeah, yeah, yeahah)
And I can't stand ya
Most everything you do
Make me wanna smile
Can I not like you for awhile (no... oh...)

[Ne-Yo:]
'Cuz you won't let me
You upset me girl
And then you kiss my lips
All of a sudden I forget (that I was upset)
Can't remember what you did

[Rihanna:]
But I hate it...
You know exactly what to do
So that I can't stay mad at you
For too long that's wrong

[Ne-Yo:]
But I hate it...
You know exactly how to touch
So that I don't want to fuss... and fight no more
Said I despise that I adore you

[Rihanna:]
And I hate how much I love you boy (yeah...)
I can't stand how much I need you (I need you...)
And I hate how much I love you boy (oooh whoah...)
But I just can't let you go
And I hate that I love you so (oooh...)

[Ne-Yo:]
And you completely know the power that you have
The only one that makes me laugh

[Rihanna:]
Sad and it's not fair
How you take advantage of the fact
That I... love you beyond the reason why (why...)
And it just ain't right

[Ne-Yo:]
And I hate how much I love you girl
I can't stand how much I need you (yeah...)
And I hate how much I love you girl
But I just can't let you go
But I hate that I love you so

[Both:]
One of these days maybe your magic won't affect me
And your kiss won't make me weak
But no one in this world knows me the way you know me
So you'll probably always have a spell on me...

[Ne-Yo:]
Yeaahhh... Oohh...

[Both:]
And I hate that I love
You soooooooo!

[Rihanna:]
As much I love you (as much as I need you oh...)
As much as I need you (oooh... as so much I love you)
As much I love you (oh...)
As much as I need you

[Rihanna:]
And I hate that I love you soooo
And I hate how much I love you boy
I can't stand how much I need ya (cant stand how much I need you)
And I hate how much I love you boy
But I just can't let you go (but I just can't let you go no...)
And I hate that I love you so

And I hate that I love you so... soo..
