Merry Christmas!!!

the Christmas story in 30 seconds...

to find out more...go to a  church near you...or contact me =P

recently been really stress out till i'm like 4 kg lighter... but now atleast everything is clearer now, can look at things one at a time again.

Watch a play last Sunday, thanks to Rachael for planning and paying for me(its my belated birthday present) and EuBing for fetching me. the title was OMG (oh my God).

Synopsis by KLpac.
Following the hugely successful 8 Ways to Lighten the School Bag, KLPac will be bringing to you Oh My God (OMG) - the product of our 2nd community writing project. Directed by popular playwright Mark Beau de Silva with the assistance of Juria Toramae, Oh My God (OMG) is a dark comedy on Sunday School crushes, looking covered and cute for your man, and other things people do before they go to heaven.Listen to Mable and Tini gossip on men, women and sex while they munch on keropok, learn how to dress down and still 'turn them on' from Mak Nani, and chat with Joseph the Jesus Man; the caretaker from the church and Mary who has a shower cap story to tell...Oh My God (OMG) is a story about the women (and some men) and their religions in Malaysia.

My thoughts on the play, it was good. acting was superb. the storyline or plot was good. just lacking the conversations. i thought the dialog was very shallow, maybe because it was such controversial stuffs, so they didn't want to discuss it more? they mention the issues, but don't go deeper than that. but all in all...still great stuff. a better review here by Lordson.

good friends are like beautiful morning...

thank you...

been busy with lots of stuff lately. learning a whole lots of stuff. still don't have the mood to blog about anything interesting to me.
this post is to thank all my friends and family for supporting me through this really stressful period.
really appreciate what you have done to support me, and really sorry if i did anything to make you all unhappy.

semester over, Idea generation almost done, thesis just only starting.

pictures that make me smile. taken in a park nearby.

look to the future.

if you think you can...you can lar.

clouded mind.

I found that anger and jealousy has the ability to cloud your mind, and it keeps you from acting rationally and doing what your heart think is right. Worse still, in the process it hurts people around you, your love one and yourself.

I totally made a fool of myself the other day because of this, feel so pathetic now for acting that way.

I thought i was being selfless toward you, and i did i guess but with selfish reasons.
lesson learned...just do what is right and don't expect the person to do the same, expectation dash hope.

sorry to everyone that i bother...because of my clouded mind.

looking down?

all i need is a battle to fight, a beauty to rescue and an adventure to live.

overload.

short update for no reason...
Whats been happening lately in my life?

Bahasa Inggeris untuk Sains dan Matematik.
Been reading and hearing that the Government is again questioning whether to continue with the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English policy.
According to some it has "failed", because students are still not doing well in both subjects and also lack English proficiency.
Abandoning this policy now and reverting back is going to suck big time and create more confusion for students and teachers. What about the text books? Training given to the teachers? all wasted d ler...

Science and Mathematics books are mostly in English. Its the internet age, almost everything is in English. Reverting back to BM, is moving a step backward. Learning English will help us learn many others things, because a lot of stuff are in English.

If the teachers were trained well. if the teachers taught well. if the students studied well. Things will surely improve, give it time.
I still love my BM by the way, phrase like "katak dibawah tempurung","kepala otak kau","sudah lupa"...

all this is just my humble opinion. from a person that played his way through school,so it might be wrong.

Malaysian truly Malaysia..

A new Chapter...

Started my classes this week, this semester i only have one subject which is Integrated Marketing Communications(IMC) and also my Final Year Project(FYP) a thesis.

IMC a text book definition - A concept of marketing communication planning that recognizes the added value of a comprehensive plan that evaluates the strategic roles of a variety of communication disciplines. (Belch & Belch)
my simple understanding for now of IMC is - Making sure every communications from a organizations/brand is saying the same thing or is consistent, so that communications use are more efficient and cost-saving.

My FYP thesis is due next year, but have to start doing now. Still thinking of what topic i should do. For now is toward Viral Advertising and Social Media, but those topic are broad. Need to narrow it down so research will be easier. Any suggestion what i should research on about that 2 topics?

Super cool effects and catchy audio. A beer thats about winning and not about sharing. (beer is always enjoy with friends unless you are a Alcholholic. =P so i dont see the point of promoting sharing)

Not been updating recently cause of overloaded thoughts, too many things running through my small little brain.
some question i can't answer in writing, but want you to think about.

1. Why is our Prime Minister is stepping down? earlier i said is crossing-over is unethical cause the people voted when the person was under that particular political party. This is lagi unethical...it's a five year term, this is not even a year yet.

2. What judicial reform? when the new Chief Justice of Malaysia have political affliations and business connections. Can he still be unbias?

3. Why Blogger Syed Azidi Syed Abdul Aziz who was arrested on Sept 17 for posting allegedly seditious material(campaign to fly the Malaysian flag upside down) in his blog kickdefella had his bail extended to Nov 21?

4. Why MP Teresa Kok is still harass by some people, when she is cleared from any wrong doing? Why is a major newspaper encouraging and suggesting violence against a MP. Read about it here.

5. Why is Hindraf banned?

6. Why are we buying such expensive helicopter, when there is cheaper alternative? news here

7. Why is this allegations not making front page news and the goverment is not doing anything yet to investigate?

I guess what they say is true, ignorant is bliss. But this is our beloved country Malaysia, we must know. Memang Malaysia Boleh, Apa pun boleh...

Camp Gila-Babi-Banyak Orang@Ulu Perdik

October 1st and 2nd, Raya outdoors at Ulu Perdik@Hulu Langat. Great outdoors and met loads of fun people. Stream-hopping(i think that what it's called) to reach the waterfall, the journey there was better than the destination..=P Waterfall a bit the small but still worth the hop up. Slept under the moonlight, bathed in the river and brush my teeth in the same river.

help fed mosi and leeches...

Hennessy Artistry@Orange Club KL

27th of September, featuring Shayne Ward, The DEY and Until June as well as DJ Tom Price. Thanks to Michael Yip i got a photographer pass. This was a much smaller event compare to Hennessy Artistry@Bukit Kiara, but still tremendously happening and fun. Any events with Alcohol+music+girls seldom go wrong. =P

Reach there around 8.15pm, the crowd aready was slowing building up. Pamela Chong of Amazing Race Asia fame was the host that night, pumping up the atomosphere.

Thanks to Julian, i end up quite drunk after the event. He brought me up to the VIP area and his crib was very convenient with the bar just next to it, free flow of Hennessy. He also introduce me to quite alot of model and celebrity. Thanks bro. haha..it was cool.
