我。仆街

My friend ( Aleeeeehut ) blogged about his dream of loosing his car few days ago. And found the interpretation of that dream online :

"To dream that you car has been stolen, indicates that you are being stripped of your identity. This may relate to losing your job, a failed relationship, or some situation which has played a significant role in your identity and who you are as a person."

Well, i dreamt about losing my car last night. Scary as hell. And what do i get from the dream? Instead of 'losing' my job, i lost my BALANCE today. I fell. Yes, FELL. JATUH. 仆街. It was raining and the floor was wet and slippery. And to make the thing worse, i fell in front of my newly met client ! ( Hope i'll get the job to justify the fall ;p ) i really hope that this fall will sweep away all the bad things, including the possibilities of loosing my jobs or projects. 醜的不靈好的靈。

p/s : This is my 2nd big fall. The 1st one was rite in front of STARHILL few years back. Rainy day as well. ;(

還好只是擦傷我的玉手，沒有弄到我那難以抗拒的容顏。哈哈。

MASK Attack !!!

I went to a musical at KL Convention Centre last Friday, to support my friend ~ KK. This is his 2nd musical, and its in English. Proud of him. Cos i know how much effort he put to make the show good.

But while i was at the venue, i can't hlp seeing something UGLY. Something that annoyed me so much.

Since the musical was sponsored by Honda, so anyone can watch by just showing the invitations. So i saw a lot of celebs, celebs wannabe, high society, high society bitches ( HSB ) and other catagories of people in the venue. Since i was there earky, i decided to sit in the hall while waiting for the show to start.

Malaysian timing ~ always show up late...and some FASHIONABLY late. Show started. then interval. I overheard some of HSB behind us commeting about the show :

~ free show, nothing to expect
~ cheap stage props, ugly costumes and low budget production
~ bored to hell, feel like going back half way
~ lousy storyline...BORIIIIIING

I actually kinda agree with them, in certain way. But there are still some good part of the show.

But right after the show, we all went out to the lobby and stopped by to chat with the casts. And this is what i heard from the same group of HSB :

~ hey you, you were so good and funny in the show, i can't stop laughing
~ nice show, you should do more of that
~ i like your look, so gorgeous

I looked at them, and wondered :

Do we really have to wear a MASK in order to survive in the Glamourous and Fakey High Society? Can't we just be honest and say what is in our mind?

I guess i will never be in the High Society category. And i am proud of that.

I feel GOOD !

I called my instructor friend ( Sunny ) from California Fitness last week asking if there is any chance for me to teach in their gym. Cos i am going to cut down the classes in Klang eventually. Too far and low pay. And with the increase of petrol price. He said that he will arrange a team-teach class for me. So that i he can evalute my teaching skill before offering any classes to me.
He called me few days after that. Asking me to do the team-teach today. TODAY !!!!

It might sound nothing to you but its a big deal to me. Nope, not a small 'BIG' but a big ' BIG' deal. I am a member of the gym since long time ago and teaching there is just one of my goal. And i am going to perform to my best to get that.

When i reached the gym at Mid Valley this afternoon, i was feeling a bit nervous. Even feel like vomiting ( dun worry, i vomit every now and then ;p ). And then it's time fo the class. I suppose to teach at the 1st 30 mins and then Sunny take over the other 30mins. So i got on stage, greeted everyone and start the class. I think my voice was shakey at the 1st 10 mins. Then got better. I was right on track after that. And i think Sunny was ok with my performance that he asked me to continue the class. Full 60 mins. WOW...!!!

And after the class, i stayed a while just to get some feedbacks ( Oh ya, I did Janet Jackson's 'Feedback' today ;p ) from the members. Apparently it was quite good and they asked me when is my class. I told them nothing yet but hopefully soon.

So, now i just have to pray hard that they can squeeze me in the packed schedule.

Sorry for the long story, but i can't help it.
I am very HAPPY and in a very GOOD mood.

CHEERS !!!

果然有~ TASTE !

( This post is purely of SELF PRAISING to boost up the CONFIDENCE . Nothing to do with the alive or dead . )

I was at Ikea and Ikano today looking for some display props for my client. Found most of the things that i wanted.

Since i still got like 2 hours before my next class, i decided to do something that i haven't been doing for quite a while ~ SHOPPING. ( What can we do during MEGASALE, besides spending? ) So i happily went in a few shops and got something nice. So happy and satisfying. ( Don't worry, still under my budget )

But when i walked to the carpark to get my car, i realised something. It was the shopping bags that i am carrying. I bought things from Padini Concept Store, Nike and Brands Outlet. And the colors of their shopping bags are so MATCHING !!!

YELLOW + ORANGE + BROWN

I thought i am good in coordinating my daily life and have quite good taste for it. But never thought that i will coordinate the colors of my shopping bags as well. Ohh my, what can i say? I am just someone with good taste, and always do tasteful things, even without me realising it. :P


( OKOK...you bitches out there..start your attack..;p )

To curse or not to curse

As i was logging into my friendster account today, i found out something SHOCKING !!

Some random guy called VT, apparently admired my pictures soooooooo much, that he stole it and post them as his pictures in his account. I heard people complaining about prankster and never thought that it would happen to me. But now i know the feeling. It's like you were abused and raped without you realising it.

SHAME ON YOU.... meeeeooooooooowwwwwww!!!!!

But on the other hand, i must say that i am honoured and flattered that my pictures are being used. At least still got market value. Cos i'm sure you don't want to display some PORKCHOP's pictures in your profile, rite? ;p

So, should i curse him for abusing my pictures?

轉來囉 。。。

無意間發現最近吃麵的時候，有點大聲。以前重來不會有醬的問題。可能是在日本的是候太 enjoy 那 shuuuut（吸）麵的感受。一時轉不會來。
在那裡是文化，在這裡會變得有點 bo tak chek ( 沒讀書 ) 的感覺。

所已現在開始要斯文點。
zhon loi lo...zhon loi lo... ( 轉來囉 )

Your birthday, My wish

Did a simple window for one of my client ~ Florsheim. They have been very nice and supportive to me since i started doing freelance last year. Always easy to talk to when it comes to proposals and quotations. And also hardly let me wait for the payment. It seems that my freelance life and their business in Malaysia grow up together. Both celebrating their 1st ever Anniversary.
Since we have a window full of cupcakes for your anniversay, i hope that your shoes will sell like hotcakes la ( so lame ) ;p

I know it's your birthday, but can i make a wish?

I wish that i will be happy and healthy. Same thing goes to my family and friends. Some extra income will be great. And we'll stay like this as long as possible.
And oh ya.. and i also wish to raise a bit of my charges next time, can ah? lol




Happy Anniversary...FLORSHEIM

p/s : 看了蕭皇奇在金曲獎演唱的那一刻，我突然覺得我一定要努力。
努力的生活，努力的工做和努力的快樂。

Do you feel anything ?

I attended a Yoga class the other day , cos the instructor is my friend. So just try out la. It was a 'Yin Yoga'class. ( 陰瑜珈，可已加強我的 '陰功'。哈哈。) As you can imagine, what kind of suffer for first-timer like me have to go thru. You actually have to do some posese as if you are stretching. But what is killing me is that you have to hold the pose for few minutes. And also the 'suppose-to-make-you-calm-water-running-and-wind-blowing-sound' songs really makes me feel crazy ! Cos i am used to those heavy beat dance music in my classes.

During the class, my friend came to me and check on my condition while i was holding some pose.

He asked softly :
點啊？有無feeling啊？
( do you feel anything ? )

I stared at him and whispered :
有啊。我好想死啊！！！
( yup, it's killing me !!! )

I think Yoga is not my genre. I guess i better stick to what i am good at - DANCING & LASERING !

黑與白

不管是黑貓還是白貓，會捉老鼠的就是好貓。



如過全部東西和事物都只有黑和白，那會是多好啊。
但很多是候都不是那麼間單。

灰色地代。
灰色思想。
灰色人生。
灰色身份。

有時真的很想讓一切間單化，但不是每個人都可已做到。

祝：
灰姑娘和灰馬王子們﹣生活愈快！加油！


灰貓：那我呢？

Osaka Stories

Last Stop : OSAKA

Osaka is a less noisy, less busy and less stressful city as compared to Tokyo. So you can enjoy walking on the streets happily. Most of the people there travel by bicycle. Healthy and enviromental friendly. But still an interesting place to explore new things. Like the temple ( another UNESCO listed item ), watching those young people dancing next to the road and shopping malls and also the things and foods is slightly cheaper than Tokyo. Apa lagi? I again stuffed my stomach with those food that i missed in Tokyo - tako balls, okonomiyaki and more. Oh ya, the green tea ice-cream is simply DELICIOUS. I think i had more than 5 when i was there.





It was Saturday when i went to the tourist spot in Osaka ( forgot the name ). And the crowd was scary.....


CONCLUSION of my Japan trip :
- Most of the young people ( 90% ) in Japan are slim. That's why they look so nice in skinny jeans.
- Their skinny jeans is so comfortable and cutting is so right for Asian. I bought 2 pairs. and cheap too
( Topman RM229. UNIQLO ( Japanese brand equivalent to United Colrs of Benetton ) RM130. )
- Japanese curry rice is sooooooooo YUMMY. Brought some back for 'bekalan hari tua' ;p
- Although Japan is one of my dream country, but i still prefer staying in KL/Ampang. Cos the living style is too stressful for me. ( There were 2 incident happened while i was in Japan. Earthquake and Killing on the streets )

So, do i want to go Japan again? Abso-f*cking-lutely YES !!!
( Who want to sponsor me ??? )

Kyoto Stories 2

I had the chance to experience the different way of living at this Japanese RYOKAN ( 客棧 ). It is different from those hotels as it is those real old traditional rest house. And it is not cheap. But a lot of tourist would like to experience it at least once. Once i step in the ryokan, you can really see the traditional Japanese house and furniture. And the room with a open balcony facing the garden - Zen Garden ( konon ). As a jakun/ ah piau from KL, i quickly open the sliding doors facing the garden and went out to take pictures. The landscape of the garden is really like waht we saw from tv or magazine. So nice, so green, so fresh, so relaxing and so calm. Zen mah...Ommmmmmmmmmmmm
( The guest next to my room is some mat salleh. I'm sure he laughed at all my pose and noise while taking pictures as i was too excited !! )

Staying in those square room with 'tatami' ( not sure of the spelling ) and wooden framed paper-made sliding door. Still remember how those people try to peep by poking a hole on the paper in those old movies. You basically eat and sleep in the room. But i would say that i still prefer sleeping on a proper bed. ;)



It's makan time - dinner. We were served with the KAISEKI RYORI - the highest class in Japanese cuisine. The opasan ( middle aged woman ) waitress served the dish one by one. We actually just eat as fast as possible. Cos she kept on knocking the door and serve new dish every 5 minutes. It's quite fun cos not sure how many dishes per course. Very nice, colorful and unique presentation of the food. But most of it i just 'sapu' withou knowing what is that.

The complete st of a KAISEKI RYORI. Isn't it colorful?

After the dinner, it's basically bedtime. Cos there if no other things to do in that ryokan or the area nearby. Luckily i brought my laptop, so can watch some movies. It was just 10 pm le, how can you expect a city guy like me sleep at 10pm???

The next morning, had the morning call at 8.30am. Saying that the breakfast is ready and served at the dining hall. Japanese id really punctual. Cos when i reached the hall, basically most of the guests are there already. I quickly eat the breakfast ( so early ) cos thier kitchen closed at 9.30am.

Again, colorful and well presented meal. ( Look at my face, still very blurr cos just woke up )

Overall, it's fun to experience the traditional way of Japanese living.

NEXT : OSAKA

賤嘴正傳 ﹣我沒有肥

前幾天去找很久沒見的supplier。她一見到我就大聲問：

她：哇！Danny，沒見一徘，肥佐喔。

我：（死都唔認）沒啊。我無肥到，係你個眼界窄佐姐。


These are some of the foods that i had when i was in Japan. A lot meh? ;p

Kyoto Stories 1

5th Stop : KYOTO city

I travelled from Tokyo to Kyoto by the famous bullet train - NOZOMI Shinkansen. It is the fastest among the other bullet train. The speed can reach 300kmph it takes 2hrs 30mins. Once i reached Kyoto main station, i can see and feel the difference between Kyoto and Tokyo.

Basically Kyoto is a less busy city with a lot of beautiful temples and buildings. The people there also seem to have less stress compared to the fast pace in Tokyo. A less busy and more fresh air city.




Went to severals world known temples suck as Kinkakuji, Ginkakuji and more ( tak boleh ingat all the names la ). But some of them are listed as UNESCO World Heritage. ( I think my name also in the list...LOL ) You can see the golden color temple - Kinkakuji. It's really GOLD...and the garden surrounding it is simply beautiful. Everything in it is a piece of art.




Then i went to the famous tourist area - GION. Which is famous for it's old and authentic Japanese buildings and also GEISHA hunting. The shops and houses there are really ANTIQUE - as if you are in an era long long time ago. Every single thing are full of histories. A place with very old and antique mood.



GEISHA HUNTING :
Why hunt? Cos that area is famous for the restaurant with Geisha. Normally tourist will gather at on spot to wait for the geisha to come out from the shops. ( Which i did ) And when they come out, we will just snap their pictures non-stop as if they are some SUPERSTAR. Actually they are. Cos maybe they are too busy with lots of customers, they don't stop for you to take pictures. They just walk quickly from one restaurant to another. It's up to your luck and photography skill to capture them. I guess i was lucky. :)



Geisha vs Big Mouth ( Both on the run ;p )


I took the picture of the boy and the dog figure in front of some shop in Gion area. Which i later on found some similarity in one of the flyers that i got there. I think there's some story behind the boy and dog. Wonder what is it.

Old vs New


NEXT : Japanese traditional Ryokan ( 客棧 ) and finest Japanese cuisine

Tokyo Stories 2

3rd Stop : SHIBUYA

Once i came out from the Shibuya main station, i was shocked with the crowd there.

But thats not the main thing that shocked me. It's the whole enviroment. Shibuya to me is like Times Square + Sg Wang + Low Yat + a bit of Sunway Pyramid x 10 !!! You can see seafood everywhere. Japanese seafood of cos. The dressing style there is totally different from other area in Tokyo. Most of the people there are young and hip ( in their own way ). I didn't really shopped there cos the things there are a bit too 'fishy' for my age. Just walk and see lo. But i have to say that their seafood is slightly presentable than our local seafood product. Cos their food presentation is from head to toe - FULL PACKAGE.
My conclusion of SHIBUYA = 20% tourist + 60% fresh seafood + 20% smelly seafood ;p

Even Colonel Sanders also mengatal with his RED suit !!!


There is something special about the trains in Tokyo. They have cool and less cold train cart for you to choose.
（還好只是弱冷，不是弱智 ）If not sure no one go in ..LOL



4th Stop : HARAJUKU

It was a beautiful Sunday morning when i went to Harajuku. We first went to the famous temple. You have to go thru a long road of small stones a trees on both side. Very cooling and refreshing. And when i reached the temple, i saw a lot of couple getting married there. So i pun kepoh take their pictures. And i made a wish. Next time if you go there please check if my wish board is still there or not.




Then come my favourite part of Harajuku - THE HARAJUKU GIRLS!!!!
It's interesting to see how they dressed up and gathered at certain spots and let people take pictures with them. But not all of them are friendly when you want to take their picture. We have to grunge rock girls, Lolita girl...and oh...also 2 mat salleh trying to be Harajuku girls ( bottom left of the pic ).


Since everyone take pictures with them, i also take la. Most of them are pretty when you look carefully. I said MOST only, ok? ;p
By the way, the theme of my costume is " Ah Piau from KL " ;p


NEXT : KYOTO
You'll see me chasing aftehr the Geisha to take their pictures.
Got very nice pictures to show :)

Tokyo Stories 1

There's a lot of things that is interesting in Japan. But i will only share with you part of it, cos it will be too much for me to tell you all about it.

Starting with this :The SuiCa card = the prepaid pass for JR ( Japan Railway ) & subways

1st Stop : ASAKUSA

A typical tourist spot when you go Japan. And of cos, they potong the tourists kau-kau. Things like local food product and souvenirs are priced slightly higher than other places. So i pun behave like tourist lo. Take picture with Ah Piau pose, buy souvenirs for friends and go temple to pray.




Look at the packaging, so interesting...how can you not buy? And also the ice-cream, so many flavours...


2nd Stop : SHINJUKU

Shinjuku = Chow Kit

Basically a city that is so busy. You can see people everywhere during daytime. And it become more interesting at night, as it is a Red Light area fo Tokyo. There's pimps in suit everywhere asking you what would you like to see or play. Most of them are young guys.



Shinjuku : Day and Night


The city hall of Tokyo banned smoking on the road. So they have to gather at the designated corner to smoke beramai-ramai. There are also some Smoking Police on the road to check on the smokers. Interesting. We should do it here in Malaysia.



NEXT : SHIBUYA & HARAJUKU ( guess what is my costume in Harajuku? ;p )

I'M BACK !!!

Hi all... saya sudah balik...

( sekali sehari pun sudah cukup ;p )

p/s : will be back on 15 June 2008 with lots of interesting stories to share ;)
( i hope so... )

不是拍戲。

今天早上出門的時候，看見了一幕很溫心的畫面。

在電梯裡，一位爸爸背著兒子。從那小男孩的呼吸聲就知道他生病，而且還是很不舒服。那爸爸神情有點焦急，想快點帶兒子去看醫生。但好死不死，每一樓都有人按電梯。電梯停一次，那爸爸就更急。那小孩的呼吸還是很不順。看也我有些心痛。

電梯一到groundfloor，我就按著門讓他們先出去。那爸爸對我點了頭就馬上背著兒子出拿車。
這時，我才知道，原來這樣的畫面，不是只有在戲裡看到。

今天早上，我的心情有點低落，有點感動，有點不知所錯。




Happy Fathers' Day..to my dad and your dad ..:)

Lift stories...

Besides the pantry, lift is another good place to bitch or listen to others bitching on something. I overheard ( actually PURPOSELY pasang telinga la ;p ) 2 guys talking / complaining about one of their female colleague.

A : You know why Irene is angry with me?

B : Nope. Why?

A : Cos i didn't show up at her birthday party. She is so CHEAPSKATE..invite everyone to celebrate her birthday party at the club. She did not pay anything cos we have to pay for our own drinks. And the best thing is , it was on Ladies Night. So she don't have to pay the cover charge. She is so clever to have such plan.

B : No wonder i heard that she is not talking to a few other guys in the department. Guess they didn't turn up at the party as well la..


Ting! Doors open..i go out..end of story..

What would you do if you are Mr. A?
If that lady is my close friend, then i give face...if just normal colleague/friend..i'll ask her to try something new ..( refer to my entry on 1st June )

賤嘴正傳﹣大膽常試

I hate people forcing me to do something that i don't like or not interested. Sometimes they are too pushy, without respecting my decision（Ｉam sorry, but friends from direct sellings and insurance tend to have this kind of attitude ). I just want them to know - Whatever good on someone may is not necessarily good to others as well. And when they crossed the line and set up the fire in me...

“麼耶事你都要大膽去常試，要突破。我無點你。你沒試，又點可已話唔好？”
( You have to open your mind, try everything...never try never know...!! )

“你夠未食過屎，又唔見你去試？！”
( Have you ever eat sh*t ? Go try lah !! )
