1 Malaysia

one day at work, I receive some emails regarding 1 Malaysia from Eve... and suddenly i had the urged to write a pantun... thanks to Eve to had copied it down wrote on my FB wall..
as a remembrance i could still able to write such.. i must pen it down in my virtual log... >.<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Berbagai bangsa, berbilang kaum...
1 Malaysia Mungkin adalah impian kepada sesetengah
Melaksanakan atau Menjadikan ia sesuatu Kejadian
Ianya adalah mimpi yang mereka mengharapkan

Untuk aku,
Negaraku tidak lagi perlu aku hidup berperangan
Hidupku berharmoni Hidupku aman berdamai
Setakat dapat aku
Mengelilingi dunia satu kali
Tapi aku tamak, dua kali baru cukupi,
Begitulah impiannya aku.

life, work, Raleigh

friend 1: i must change my working attitude
friend 2: be happy & cheerful
friend 3: i must get a better job....
friend 4: why am I not working today ?? why ?

i had been emo today... thinking & re-thinking.. about my life...

I had not came to this stage, until i feel I am getting more serious about it.
My life had became undecided & sometimes, full of surprises ... sometimes.. i even surprises myself at that very moment...

I had decide to reply an email and received a call. Looking forward for my interview...
afterall, just like how luying said... my life had a huge changed because of 'Raleigh'...

somehow, somewhere hearing this word other from my bubble of Raleigh friends, it 'triggers' me, tickles me & make me start to think wild & crazy all over again ... *thousands of questions will pop-into my mind*...

so, I will again make another step to step-out-from-what-I-am-doing-now...
It might be a hard step but... I strongly believe it's going to be worth it.

ike some friends says, I want to earn LOTS & LOTS of $$$ to go explore the world...
will my expedition next year to Costa Rica jadi ???
I really do hope I get to embark on one...

but the determination to raise that amount is HARD.. or should I say, it's super hard...
my determination all these while is super low.. and *im super surprise & amazed of a friend FWC who can do it*... *you can see sparkles from my eyes, macam in Manga*

RM30 000.of cold HARD CASH !!.. if I believe i can do it... I MUST do it... I CAN do it...
*I was full of enthusiasm few weeks ago, but after staying up late every night to extra work, I realised I had not enough energy to work my daily work... I cant take it... I really wanted too & I could not...
*that was a hard feeling

I had even stick my piece of paper written "RM30 000" in my room... i really do hope that piece of paper able to motivate me...

During comm meet, everyone had agreed to do selling cookies to Fund Raise for Raleigh KL.
I like the idea... miss those moments my whole family baking cookies...and cake...

I think I should also sell cookies & bake cakes to Fund Raise lor..
and doing it in Penang is so much cheaper...

what do u all think??? as i've got all the resources to do it in Penang...
if any of my job hunting in KL tak jadi & I end my contract, i will most probably do that (with the help of my mom)... I think I can pinjam some oven & bring it over to KL...
I have lots of more human resources in KL to help me bake.. yes... I like the idea...
that's what friends are for !!!...

had a great weekend with the Raleigh Kl committees.... life will never be the same once you've step into this circle of friends...
although it was a small town named Sekinchan, must give some credit... too..

what make the weekend so happening??

rm60+ of cheap snacks + juices + ices
4 bottes of liquer: baileys + malibu + peach + vodka + whiskey (extra kick)

aunty: professional films have smaller / no grains.
non - professional films will have grains.
but if you aren't going to blow them up, actually no different.
me: i asked, so which is Professional?
aunty: both...
me: =.=

(adoi, i was asking which brand la)... of course I know what's Fujifilm & Kodak is famous for la... itu aunty tak faham my Question lor... =.=;
*actually she's no aunty, haha.. just a nice chinese lady trying to explain to me*

so... i've gotten myself a Fujifilm. As I would prefer to snap more outdoor & definately the BIG 'R' people.. therefore Green will appear alot !!!.. haha..
