End of Rat, Comes the Ox...

It is time to bid farewell again & a new year will be embraced & welcome by everyone soon. Past will always be nostalgia & the future will always be a new hope for everyone. Every mistake must be amended & never be repeated.

In the year 2008, there are joyful & sorrowful events. Proud moments can be seen too specifically during the Beijing Olympic. In political wise, the government has been triggered by the country’s Tsunami election of March 8. The World Economic downfall, earthquakes, floods & landslides have causes great impact to human beings. These circumstances & events will surely leave an imprint on someone’s heart. It can never be erased that easily. Only prayers, forgiveness & hopes are the cures to these wounds.

No one knows the future, it will always be mysterious & the year 2009 will indeed be another journey of it. Predictions can never be made or foretold of what’s going to be; only dreams & hopes can be created. So, lets all pray & hope for the best & welcome the year of the Ox with full of spirit & joy…..

Happy 2009! ^v^

Gribbles, PJ

Two months have past since I left Gribbles, PJ. It’s been a great experience. Working life has never been that easy as it seems. I understand that in order to excel & be the best, we must equip ourselves with knowledge & skills or else we’re nothing.

I’ve encountered various degrees of human attitudes, regardless of their status. In the real world, acceptance, forgiveness & improvements are necessary for oneself.

Life in PJ was tough during the first 2 weeks. It seems so dragging, like in the poem “Life Breath Candle” by William Shakespeare & I was wondering when will my miserable life end…. However, my days weren’t that bad, thanks to Gribbles staffs, friends & those scrumptious food in PJ. ^^
The HODs’ in every department has an unfriendly look because of their firm & disciplined personality. Seeing them smile is just like walking on cloud 9, as they really do looked adorable! ^^ My greatest regret was never getting the chance to bid farewell to Mr. Mohan (Head of Biochemistry Department), as I was rushing back to pack my stuffs in preparation to go back home. Without him, I don’t think I’m able to score distinctions. Thank you very much Mr. Mohan, I’ll always appreciate your kind deeds & knowledge. Besides the HOD, I would like to express my gratitude to the pathologists and the staffs as well. Their never ending guidance and endeavor will always be remembered & appreciated.

Training in Gribbles was nostalgia & these nostalgic memories will always stays with me.

(Up) My dad's worked, with his pumpkin usage!
(Middle) My mom's creation, using pineapple to prepare "tang yuan".
(Down) My own yogurt "tang yuan" ^^


It happens every year before the beginning of a new year especially for the Chinese. Making “tang yuan” (glutinous rice ball) is a must as it symbolize unity among families & friends.

My family & I, excluded my brother have entered “Creative Tang Yuan Making Competition 2008” at Shaw Plaza in Pudu, Kuala Lumpur on the 20^th December. Altogether there were 30 participants with loaded enthusiasm.

I’ve always loved to imagine & create weird recipes, but creativeness wasn’t downloaded in me! So I’ve to crack & dig files in my brain even when in dreams to create my secret recipe that will lead me to winning. Recipe wasn’t the tough ones, but the task in searching for the ingredients.

Mixing “tang yuan” with yogurt wasn’t a bad idea after all. Guess I’m the first in the world who uses yogurt as my main “tang yuan” preparation. In my yogurt; raisins, pieces of oranges, crushed peanuts & coco powder were mixed and added, & nevertheless, my green “tang yuan” as well. Hoping for the best, I thought I will walk away with the 1^st prize hamper; but unfortunately, it wasn’t to be. I had lost to my pride & my unskilled hands in making the dough -_-! & end up surrendering to my dad who is the 1st runner up. Of course laaa…. coz he uses the pumpkin (can be seen in the picture above) Look so tempting & delicious right?!

Anyway, I’m proud & happy with him. ^^

Though I’ve lost, I’m still happy, as I got to see my family on TV during the news programmes.

Losing will never halt me from entering future competitions. I’ve promise myself to upgrade my capabilities & try again next time with more zest!

So, catch me up next time folks, I’ll be the champion!!!!

30th September 2008

It was a very memorable experienced. My pal May Eng & her divorced wive Stephanie & not to forget my four wives Su Yong, Huay Fern, Shyamini & Wai Yin & me myself had went to Sunway Pyramid. Supposedly we plan to celebrate Wai Yin, Su Yong & my belated birthday, but ending up, we forgotten about it.

May, Su, Fern & I have to wait for Wai Yin the "Royal 'Cho Lo' Queen" for about 30 mins at the train station & after that, we had to picked Steph & Sham at the Klang station. Four of us are just like their chauffer & butler!!!

Due to the delayed, we reached our destination late.

We started our first activities in the ice-skating rink. Sham & Yin hesitant to joined us at first, but after my persuasion, they gave in ^^. Everything started smoothly until Sham twisted her ankle. After she retreated, Yin was the next one to out, followed by Steph. Sham & Yin have traumatized over that incidence & have promised to themselves that they'll never go skating again. Is that difficult to skate??? sIGHhhh......
Anyway, I wanted to compliment Su for the courages, she managed to stand & skate at the center of the rink. Gambateh ^^

Hmmm... I wonder how it will be if Kanages & Mei Yin were with us.....

After much of the sweat & pain, we went for lunch. Once our stomach were filled, we headed to the bowling alley. My "Cho Lo" wive, Yin, she striked & spared the most, & she was the winner at end. Of course la, you should see how she rolled the ball!!!
ps: WARNING! Don't ever go near her when it is her turn -_-"

After two games at the bowling alley, we divided into two groups. May, Steph, Sham, & Yin went to the archade, while Su, Fern & I went for a tour in Sunway Pyramid & had our dinner in Esquire Kitchen.

It was time for us to say goodbye. We took taxi to train station as the bus was delayed. Between our journey, the train broke down. Everyone in the train was quite worry as the fused was burn at the last cabin of train. Thank God & with God grace, nothing happened & everyone manage to reached home safely.

Hopefully in the next trip, Kanages & Mei Yin will join us as well....

The Baha'i Faith

I am a Baha'i since I was born. So, I wanted to share a bit about the faith.

The Baha'i faith began over 164 years ago. It is still new to the current world.
The unity of the human race is the central teaching of Baha'u'llah (meaning the 'Glory of God'), prophet & founder of the Baha'i faith. The word "Baha'i" simply means "a follower of Baha'u'llah".

He said that there is only one God, although different people call Him by different names. He told us that all religions are one, since they all come from one God. The Baha'i faith teaches us that all mankind is one family & that all people are equal. It also encourages cultural diversity & discourages any type of prejudice.

There is no clergy in the Baha'i faith. Each individual is able to explore the revelation of God & to decide on the issues of life through prayer, reflection & consultation with others.

The Baha'i believes that:

* There is only one God - just known by different names
* All religions are one but progressive in nature
* Harmony of sciences & religion
* Equality between women & men
* Importance of spiritual & material education
* Extreme wealth & proverty should be eliminated

It might seem impossible to achieve it, but it can, as there's a covenant (promises) made by God between human. This day will come as the new world order has enveloped just like it stated as "the end of the world" in the Bible of Christianity & Muslim. "The end of the world" means that the past will be gone & the new beginning of human virtues & standards will be form; & before any changes can be seen, there will be some obstacles that will be face by the human beings where now you can see the deteoriation of the world condition.

I believes that to achieve something or success, we must sacrifice. Humans are always given choices by God to choose between DEVIL & ANGEL. & it is up to us at the end to make the choice.

MERDEKA!!!

During this particular date where national anthem & patriotic songs will be played & heard in every TV channel in Malaysia. It indicates the arrival of this blissful day where Malaysia got its Independence in 1957.
Flashing back on my primary & secondary years, where a strong feelings of patriotisme will arouse in me everytime when the musics were played during the school assemblies. Anyhow, these strong feelings have slowly faded in me after I had graduated from secondary school. I guess it might probably due to the hectic life in college & musics that no longer be listen by me. So, today is the day where I reminded myself again & injecting the spirit of patriotisme in me ^^
Malaysia is a country where variety of scumptious foods are found, free from phenomenon disastrous & unique cultures are seen, but many youngster nowadays do not appreciate it & showing dislike towards the country. I do not blame them as me myself currently felt that way too. All this occur because of the leaders in Malaysia especially the government. Condemnation of races happened, unfairness of peoples right, dirty tactics to win votes, wealth that causes misery and suffering to the nations and so on that can be listed for years!
These circumstances will eventually causes the patriotisme fading away. The goverment should put a hands off immediately by placing the nations priorities against the reign & wealth & also must find ways to mould the nations hearts in order to create "muhibbah" and the nations to fluorish.
So, I wanted to dedicate a prayer for my country hoping that peace & unity amongst the races,
" Blessed is the spot,
& the house & the place,
& the city & the heart, & the mountain,
& the refuge, & the cave, & the valley
& the land & the sea
& the island & the meadow
where mentioned of God hath been made,
& His praise, glorified"

-Baha'u'llah-

U come ="NIL@I"= Value

31st July will be my exactly a year since my first step in Nilai. Many memories have been created along the journey, especially with my fellow coursemate. Sometimes, there were disillusion, dissatisfaction & dissidence occur, but still, there were many sweetness to be savour too.
To me, memories are created based on this quotes as I felt it's true, it goes "People will forget what you did to them, but, people will never forget how you make them feel". The feelings will always remain in someones soul where the deeds of others will be remembered.

In this small town, my first b'day celebration was celebrated too. It was indeed a surprising event. My b'day reminded me of my mom where she has to go through a critical condition during the delivering of me where the death & survival is uncertain. Without her, & not to forget my beloved dad too, I wouldn't be here blogging! Thank you so much for enable me to see such a beautiful world... The world will indeed be more beautify without those irresponsible homo sapiens, corruption, condemnation, diseases & racialism!

Most of the people that I know in Nilai will be leaving soon. I do not know when will I be meeting them again, may be I will, may be not! It all depends on fate.
I was quite sad though, but thanks to the advancement of technology, I am able to keep in touch with them. Not to worry then! ^^

A task...

Difficult time has passed, indeed, now is my time to hibernate and enjoy myself ^^
Exams has never been easy for anyone. The most torturer days are during the exams week, time's seem to be dragging and never end...
Exam's not the worst, but the results that release. It seem as though it trigger's the whole earth with earthquake. For now, i just can't bear to think of it. All I can do now is pray....
I've miss my final prefect annual gathering due to exams. Sighhh..... it's my final gathering... Arrghhhh......

Exams are just like a task for us to be accomplish. Exams can make someone success & fail easily. It is all dependent on the individual who knows how to seize & appreciate it as exams just come once. Though exams are tough yet difficult, but, it is the one that will decides a person's future.

Appreciation

My effort does paid off, as Mdm G3 luv the gift that my batch has prepared & M happy with it. It took me 3 days 2 nite to get the CD's done. The CD was named as The 5th Process as I wanted Mdm G3 to remember the 4th time failure of tissue processing with my batch.
1st July was the farewell party for Mdm G3, the talented lecturer! I thought I'll be sad, but, guess not... may be cause I'll be seeing her again on the following day.
The party food was nice though, KFC maa.... but the sad part was I only able to taste the blueberry cheese cake, not the choc mousse.... Cause, when I wanted to lay my hand on it, ppl r chasing me off!!!

This week is just like my last week seeing those familiar faces in my course, though I'll be seeing them again during my final exams....
Indeed, M quite sad about it... but, I do know that, in life, ppl stays, ppl goes.... Have to accept it though...

Appreciation; I do appreciate every moment in my life as I do not want to regret later on in my life.... For me, eventhough a person gives me a present that I dislike, or the present doesn't meant for me, I'll still appreciate it coz I felt lucky that at least there's sum1 has a thought of me eventhough just a second....
I do savour each moment of life as they come only once & return no more & I will always strive hard to reach the station where Bahaullah wanted all human beings be, so that, we can reach nearer to God... ^^
