Wonderful birthday with the world

Most of the people in Malaysia celebrated my birthday last Saturday by switching off the light for one hour.. Well, not exactly.. They did it for the 60 Earth Hour campaign but it was just a coincidence that it’s on my birthday too..

Basically, in this campaign, people who participated would switch off their light for one hour from 8.30pm to 9.30pm on the 28th March 2009, which is on my birthday..

I did not actually participated in this event as I was in the shopping mall.. However, our house lights were off before we set off to the shopping mall.. If you asked me whether the shopping mall did their light off for one hour, I’d say YES!

Sunway Pyramid had their light off outside the whole building except few lights which made the pedestrian path visible.. However, inside the mall, it’s not as what you thought.. It’s definitely impossible to make everyone panic in the dark.. Only the unnecessary lights were switched off to support this campaign..

Ok.. Skip the Earth Hour stuffs.. Some claimed it’s useless as the best way to save the earth is to end the open burning and smoking.. (which is quite true..)

Anyway, my birthday.. It’s fantastic, I’d say.. For the past few years, before I came to the university to study, I used to have a big celebration at my home by inviting all my close friends to my birthday bash.. Otherwise, my family will bring me out to buy things that I’d wished for long..

White chocolate cake with some nuts inside..

This year, it’s not a birthday bash, but it’s still a great one to me.. This is the first year to celebrate my 20th birthday with my girlfriend.. Well, I just couldn’t explain how it is a great one to me.. But, I’m delighted on the day itself..

My girlfriend and friends planned an ambush a birthday surprise for me.. and I, somehow, got surprised.. Cause they managed to stay up late for me to return home as I went to watch midnight movie together with my girlfriend before my birthday itself.. Touchy touchy~~ I love ya all~~

1.. 2.. 3.. Make a Wish..

I had once get very disappointed during my birthday due to no surprises and lack of greetings from friends and family, but not anymore because I decided to not expect much from everyone and just to pass my birthday happily.. Unexpectedly, my friends, close or not close, they managed to send their greetings and wishes to me.. Some via phone, some via facebook while some via friendster and some via MSN..

My friends.. *mwah mwah*

I guess, it’s a good thing for us to not expect something too much once in a while.. Life moves on regardless it’s good or bad.. But it’s up to us to determine it’s a good one or a bad one.. and it’s exactly up to us to decide what future we opt for.. So, be HAPPY!!

She completes my birthday..

Anyway, here, I would like to thank all of my friends and family who had wished me my 20th birthday (Oh gosh.. it’s the beginning of the “2” already..) and if you’d prepared my birthday present, make sure you give it to me the next time you see me ya! Hahaz..

SURPRISED!!

Random Post: Caterpillar Shot

I like to take pictures since I started blogging few years back.. And beautiful shots often amazed me!

One of a considerably “beautiful” shot of my is this caterpillar shot.. Using my mom’s Olympus 1030SW digital camera.. Played a bit with the focusing.. Well, of course the result is not as good as DSLR but, at the very least, it still did a fair work on the auto focusing..

This caterpillar is freaking small and kept moving.. It took me quite some times to really just focus on the caterpillar using Auto-focus and snap it!

How do you think of this picture?!

It’s cropped, anyway, to let you see the caterpillar a clearer view..

My Personality Test

2. Take the Personality Quiz

---
The result of mine:
Pink word – The test result
Orange word – My verdict
---

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

Well, perhaps, at most time i am down to earth (i think.. well that's up to ppl to judge me though).. but seriously, I'm the type which is kinda straightforward.. Like it or not, I might even tell straight to your face that I dislike your this and that.. I dont like beating around the bush just to tell you what I'm thinking of you.. Efficient problem solver?? Me donno.. Perhaps I am.. So what say you?

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

-With this.. Pretty much true (I think).. and yes... I don't always judge a book by its cover.. (only occasionally.. teehee~~)

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

-Ofcoz la! Why the hell would you think that I will commit into a relationship with a stranger?! Who knows, she might turn out to have a "batang" one.. *eeks.. scary*

The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

-Uhmz.. I dont know much about this.. but I dont really think I'm the flirty type.. I only talk better with people whom I know longer.. But well, some times, I might meet someone that "clicks" together with me.. That's kinda hard to find.. but I found some.. :)

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

-Education?! Haiyo! Nowadays ha.. Education is more related to that cheap piece of paper (certificate).. Ofcoz, I like to learn more things.. but academic wise?! I do think it's for the sake of paper (and sake of living as well)

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

-Yes.. I'm very practical.. but I'm not choosy at work.. I do think there's always a new thing to learn in every field..

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

-Couldnt deny the fact that I'm kinda "kiasu" (scare to lose).. but failure to me is like lessons/advices which build a stronger me..

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

-Hm.. no comment on this..

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

-unpredictable is a good word.. I think I get that word often from people around me when I ask them to describe me.. but hor.. OCEAN change QUICKLY one meh?! I prefer to relate myself to WEATHER!

Some of you might had seen this in my facebook as I posted this in my facebook note a while ago.. But some of you might not..

Ok.. whats more about me?! Your turn to tell me who I am.

Short Post: Back from Dragonball Evolution

Just back from the movie premiere screening of Dragonball Evolution which was sponsored by Nuffnang.. As the title said so, I won’t be writing a lot here..

Basically, I’m kinda tired with the whole day class already.. and my girlfriend and I went straight to One Utama to avoid being late.. Luckily, we took another route which is much more expensive but able to reach earlier and need not have to press on the brake that often..

But, anyway, to make the story short.. We went to Carl’s Junior and had our dinner there.. Bloated and satisfied as usual.. Went to collect our movie tickets and off to bowling without meeting any other bloggers..

Often, I left my girlfriend parted my world when I was together with other bloggers.. Hm.. I guess that’s what we said “disconnected” when you can’t actually establish a connection to something that you have no interest right?

So, went for bowling.. It was fun but I lose TWICE to my girlfriend.. I think the bowl got problem la.. (excuses only.. haha)..

Took a picture.. and saw some of my Kuching friends, my hometown friends.. My junior and three other seniors.. Two of them are also blogger.. Kelvin and Kit.. What a small world..

Then, I prompt into few other bloggers.. Bernard, Evelyn, WenPink, Jackie, Greg, Kate and etc.. (sorry, can’t remember some of the link.. leave the link in the comment and I’ll update it..) It’s a Blogoworld after all..

Then went for the movie.. Laughed for the lameness but stunned by the charm of Chi Chi and Bulma.. And jealous with the the adorable Goku.. and got disappointed by the lousy act of Master Rishi (Chow Yun Fatt)..

It’s just a normal movie with a lot of computer effects.. Exaggerating is what I should say..  I dislike the action and so on.. It’s too normal.. and the effect is terribly sucks.. but if you are one of a Dragonball fan.. Just give a shot and watch that movie..

Still can watch la if “mai hiam”..

So much for a short post.. =.=”

Signing off..

TIPS: How to Stay Young

Often, we get question like “How old are you already?!”.. Some people will just get irritated by the people who asked about the age.. Not trying to bias, but the majority would be the female.. As I always say, woman is usually more sensitive to number than man.. from money to weight and to age..

What do you see from this picture? Young or Old lady? Just a brain-teaser picture..

However, I do hear some positive remark from way people answer the question.. Instead of saying, “I’m 34 years old this year..”, he or she will say, “I’m still 34 years young and fit..”

Age is just a number.. Think it that way and I believe we could get young.. However, often as it may seem, we usually treat our age as something that may be a hindrance to us.. Well, of course, problem occurs only when we reach 30 and above..

Usually, when we are young, especially when we were a kid or a teen, we keep wishing that we will reach the age of 18 or 21 as soon as possible and wishing time would pass faster.. It some how became a disastrous matter when reaching 30-an..

 
(source: www.thecinemasource.com)

If we are able to cope with our age and let the age be just number.. Perhaps we can still look young and fit when reaching a really “mature” level.. Look at Pierce Brosnan (our former famous “James Bond”), regardless how old, he is always looking young and fit.. Agree? No?!

Well, now get into the main point.. I receive this tips or theory of staying young.. And I found it quite logical and helpful, and wanted to share this to all of you..

THEORY OF STAYING YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers.
This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay "them."

2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning.
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen..
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them , at every opportunity.

STAY YOUNG!!

Damai Trip 3D/2N (16-18 Dec 2008) – Part 2

So.. the second day begun.. For those who didn’t catch the Part 1 of the trip, check it out here..

Well, since it’s a beach resort.. what we did is.. went to the beach to play again.. Hahaz..

This time, we built a mermaid out of the sand.. it’s a tough work, I should say..

.. caught me in action while doing facial for the mermaid..

.. oh my god.. my tummy.. anyway.. those are the other two who did this mermaid project too..

.. and we took jumping shot.. it’s tough..

.. looks like the camera guy got the wrong timing.. which makes us look like “cacated”..

.. after learning the shooting lesson.. we got better shot!!

Well, nothing else to do at the beach.. So we went down to the swimming pool.. AGAIN!!

.. and my gay buddies were all there.. Ok.. they ain’t gay.. Just kidding about it..

.. and we took a picture of a dugong!!

.. two dugongs..

Whee!! All of them like my camera very much.. Who won’t want to take a picture underwater?! Right?!

 

 

.. I should say.. it’s hard to get a splendid shot in the water.. the chlorine hurt your eye and the pressure in the water makes you hard to move in the water..

But hey! I got few splendid shot of my own..

.. I think you saw this picture somewhere don’t you?! In my facebook or in my MSN..

Ok.. enough of the blue blue background + half nude body + gay scenes..

After whole tiring day, we planned to go to Buntal Village for some fresh seafood.. which is also one of the famous place in Kuching for seafood..

I camwhored a bit before getting ready for the seafood hunting..

.. and then we were here.. The Buntal 88 Seafood Centre..

Just to make things clear.. There’s a lot of seafood restaurant in the village.. Make sure you make a right choice.. This one that we picked, the foods are kinda nice..

 

.. time to introduce the Damai Trip gang as I promised in the previous post that I would.. 

From left to right: Jian Horng, Kok Hua, Khin Whee, Guan Khoon, Me!, Tsu Shin, Irwin

.. and the next day came.. didn’t do much due to the heavy rain.. Like I said.. Monsoon season..

.. and this is how messy a room can be when 7 males are living together.. Luckily only for two nights..

That’s how basically we spent our holiday there.. Relaxation.. and Enjoyment.. How’s yours?!

Damai Trip 3D/2N (16-18 Dec 2008) – Part 1

Short note: When I was going to write posts about my trip to Indonesia last December, then I notice my disc which contains all my Indonesia Trip’s pictures is left behind in Kuching.. I guess you guys will have to wait till this coming April for my exotic Indonesia Trip’s posts then.. Stay tune..

I did mentioned in one of my earlier scheduled posts last year, here, that I was going to Damai beach with my friends.. and so I did..

Well, in Kuching, Damai beach is considered as one of the tourist spot even though it’s just a plain beach resort which can be found in many countries.. However, we will beg to differ as Kuchingites when you say it’s normal to have a beach resort like that.. Simple reason is, in Kuching, we don’t have any beach around us and the best and nearest beach would be Damai beach which only take us a 45minutes drive..

Well, if you are going to a beach resort without any companion, it will be dull.. and definitely, I won’t be going to that place alone ‘cause it does seemed scary to stay in a resort alone especially when you are at beach..

*assuming a lot of ghost stories had been told that happened nearby the beach and some even claimed that beach has higher “Yin” (darkness) compared to any other place*

Of course, I’m not saying that Damai beach is haunted.. I’m just making self assumption and I do think the same way to every single beach resort all around the world.. Call me a “chicken”.. Talking about ghost creeps me out but I do like to listen though.. *giggles*

Anyway, let me show you the pictures taken at Damai beach resort (not Damai Puri).. I was told that Damai Puri is another beach resort in Damai.. So, this is just plainly “Damai Beach Resort”..

Okay.. This is the bed! D-uh! Anyway, I forgotten to take pictures around the chalet ‘cause I’m too excited to see the beach..

.. and so we went to the beach..

.. and that’s how the beach resort looks like (not the fellow, of course, behind him).. we stayed at a Chalet but didn’t take any picture of it.. teehee~~

.. and then the beach.. it ain’t a white sandy beach like other beaches but it’s safe to play at there still..

.. and random shot taken around the surrounding.. looks like the weather ain’t that good that time..

 

.. but, at least, we managed to build a sand “Myvi” before the tide came in..

I’ll do the people introduction later.. let’s see some more pictures first..

.. and the tide came in.. and our “Myvi” became back into a pile of sand again..

Since the tide came in.. we changed our location to the swimming pool.. It’s the end of the year, the monsoon season.. We did not want to risk our lives playing at the beach when the waves were super big..

.. and met another gang of our friends.. what a coincidence..

.. and saw myself in the water.. =.=”

.. and got caught in action in the water..

-- To be continue --

More pictures in coming post..
