Impact Of A Soul To A Soul From A Soul

The place is called sixty nine Bistro (69) and its located just behind BTS. Well, the name is kinda kinky, sensual and whatever you’re thinking… but its not. Definitely not what you are thinking. It was suggested by a friend and well, we just want a place to have dinner and chat bout.
First of all the place got no parking lot, I had to round like a few rounds and still I forcefully parked at the yellow line across the road. The place a well “decorated” if I put it right. They have different types of tables and chairs in combination. I didn’t notice it at first, but then after a while I thought I was in Ikea or Homelife… great if you want to know what you can pack in your home, though it’s not anything new.
So we started to order and my friend ask if it was ok to park outside

SC: Can we park outside? Will we get summoned?
Waiter: Eh, here ah, they normally will come and summon one.
SC: Will they come at night? We parked opposite.
Waiter: They some time come a few times a day
Me: We parked opposite by the yellow line, may be so late…
Waiter: There are, um uh, they not only summon, they will tow the car away too…
*we stopped ordering and went to park out cars in BTS*
Mind you the guy was like blur and like none of his duty to at least let us know its hazard for us to park there, damn waiter.

Then, came the ordering and also the food. We have in some way scrutinized the food except 2 plate of rice, French fries and cocktail sausages. The other s were like so different from the menu, their sandwiches is like burger, pasta were like mee, “tong fun” was like thin yee mee. Basically food was not satisfactory at all. And wei then place was really like furniture shop, very the tight, not much space to walk about man.
I excused myself early and left before my friends… need to work the next day mah. Complaint of the place and food was inevitable, but we had a good laugh coz of it. I hope the next outing will be a bit the nice. Probably with drinking in the picture, boy, I have not been drinking or partying for sometime… I need drinks and parteeeee.
Any invites out there… invite me ler, I come I see I drink I go back. No make scene one.

Referring to one piece of material which I read from minishorts, A Letter. I can’t say in a more significant way that I agree with her comments. Islam or if I were to put it, Muslim is being misunderstood and even condemned in some parts of the world (especially you know where). These thoughts of condemnation and misinterpretation has sky rocketed with the previous incidents which has caused havoc to the states.
I believe there are a lot of believers out there who are very faithful be it for Islam, Buddhist, Hindu, Christian as well as other religions. They are basically very faithful worshippers of their religion and I do believe they grip very strongly to the teachings of their religions.
Ok, before I continue with this I need to clarify that I am not of any of the categories as listed above, as I am a freethinker. I have attended church services, Buddhist talk and learnt South East Asia and world Islamic history before.
Although I am not religiously into either of the religions but I have learnt some important lessons throughout my journey in religions. I have learnt that all religions teach its followers to do good deeds and not to sin. They unite their followers through faith in god. But the most important things that I learnt from all these is MUTUAL RESPECT.
Of coz there are always the bad eggs that taints the name of the good be it religion, family, business or basically anything. But if we look deeper in it I believe any one with a heart, not to say brain, would know that it is not the teachings of the religions that is at flaw, it is the person itself. If you kill a person, it is you that is a bad person, you don’t go around and say if you are a Muslim, then Islam is bad… if you are Buddhist, then Buddhism is bad… if you are Hindu, then Hinduism is bad… and so forth. If you have this kind of mentality then I sole believe you need help.
We live in a multi racial community and we have so many ethnic and religions around us. I believe that we have been living in harmony because of mutual respect for each other, the beliefs, culture, tradition and all those little things that made us different. I have always been fascinated when watching different cultures and traditions in my life such as wedding of Indians, malays and even Chinese.
As MENJ mentioned in DeepaRaya? Sacriligeous!, it is merely a phrase in which in conjunction where we are celebrating both occasion at the same time of the years. It is a joyous occasions for both Muslims and Hindus, where I know many are celebrating them with so much joy TOGETHER. It is the mutual respect and “MUHIBAH” of our multi racial community that brings us together, celebrating these occasions together. Isn’t all these in the teachings we preach in every single religions, a harmonious community? Those that I know do.
So why not respect each other and create a harmonious community, a united nation called Malaysian. Why whine?

Let’s celebrate the festivity of Deepavali and Hari Raya together as Malaysians.

Happy Deepavali

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

I guess this song needs no intro…

Sahajaku berkata
Mungkin yang terakhir kalinya
Sudahlah lepaskan semua
Ku yakin inilah waktunya

Mungkin saja kau bukan yang dulu lagi
Mungkin saja rasa itu telah pergi

Dan mungkin bila nanti
Kita kan bertemu lagi
Satu pintaku jangan kau coba
Tanyakan kembali
Rasa yang kutinggal mati
Seperti hari kemarin
Saat semua di sini

Dan bila hatimu termenung
Bangun dari mimpi-mimpimu
Membuka hatimu yang dulu
Cerita saat bersamaku

Mungkin saja kau bukan yang dulu lagi
Mungkin saja rasa itu telah pergi

Dan mungkin bila nanti
Kita kan bertemu lagi
Satu pintaku jangan kau coba
Tanyakan kembali
Rasa yang kutinggal mati
Seperti hari kemarin
Saat semua di sini

Dan mungkin bila nanti
Kita kan bertemu lagi
Satu pintaku jangan kau coba
Tanyakan kembali
Rasa yang kutinggal mati
Seperti hari kemarin
Saat semua di sini

Tak usah kau tanyakan lagi
Simpan untukmu sendiri
Semua sesal yang kau cari
Semua rasa yang kau beri

Hey hey, try this try this…
Ever wondered what would happen when the clash between the chinese zodiac meets western zodiac? Try the link… Horoscope

This is what came out… some what content, true to an extend. You be the judge… of coz those who know me la. Tell me ok… tell me…

You always put others before yourself and seek to be useful wherever you go. Making great sacrifices is second nature to you. You’d rather do without little luxuries if it means benefiting less fortunate people. Often you’re forced to work under difficult conditions. Rather than complaining, though, you’ll find ways to make the surroundings more pleasant. You’re a master at making the most out of what you’ve got.

Behind closed doors, you are surprisingly sensual. You love getting lost in your mate’s arms. When you aren’t in love, you can get very blue. That’s because you need an intimate relationship to keep you balanced. When you give so much of yourself on a daily basis, you feel drained. A romantic partner can replenish your spirits through kisses and caresses. You gravitate toward people who are diplomatic and charming. Geminis, Leos, Librans, and Pisceans are good companions for you, as they put a positive spin on everything. In love, you need somebody who is just as nurturing and supportive as you are. Ideally, your romantic relationship will have a symbiotic quality; you’re not interested in being self-sufficient. Your greatest challenge is to be more selfish. Don’t be afraid to ask for more money or assistance if the situation warrants it. Nobility is your biggest strength. You can always he trusted to take the high road, even when temptation is close at hand.

Jobs that involve inspiring others are tailor-made for you. You’d make an excellent sports coach, spiritual advisor, or teacher. You’ve also been blessed with considerable intellectual ability and would do well in any of the sciences. Medical research may especially appeal to you as it involves helping others. At some point in your life, you may decide to take a leave of absence and work in an impoverished area, providing medical care or housing to needy people.

Accent… oooo, the new Hyundai Accent RX-S5, 60,xxx OTR, cool. OK, I’m no good at this, and definitely I’m not here to introduce a car to you, I’m not a salesman OK. There has been some post I have been reading about “accent” lately.
Accent generally means the manner of pronunciation and intonation.
I believe than when we talk about accent in our daily lives, the most popular thoughts would be, “you have a British/American accent”. Don’t you agree with me? I agree with Kyels when she says that kids nowadays have a tendency to use accent in their daily conversation thinking it is cool. I don’t deny the fact at all and I fully agree to it.
But I must point out that there is a very thin line of accent we have to take into consideration. A recap of what I have learnt in my school days… we learn British English. I mean that is a fact. We Malaysian have been learning British English for umpteen of years and I bet it is still being taught in schools to the children. We have strive to learning British English due to our colonial times, and it is deemed that British English is of a standard with it’s difference of spelling and pronunciation from the latter American English which is widely use as a communication language.
We have been taught in schools and graded upon the British English. Therefore I would say we all in a way do speak in a British accent as we are taught that way. If you were to start using the la and lo etc, then it is deemed as the well known “rojak” English, and we tend to use it for verbal communication only. As for American English is not treated as exam material, it is still very functional in our daily life as we use then more for our conversation in an informal way. The spelling checker in Microsoft is based on American English. The movies we all watch are American English as well.
So where does the fine line of accent comes in when we definitely say he’s got an American/British accent? I guess my perception of this reality would be an overly use of pronunciation and intonation which is bragging and bombastic in a sense. I do agree that there are people who overly misuse the intonation. They would go like copying every word by word of stars in a movie or a drama. But what they do not know is the tongue speaks the truth as you overwork your tongue, the intonation and pronunciation becomes fake. And this fakeness is what I would call accent in my book of dictionary.
We as Malaysian, has accustomed our tongue to a type of flexibility where we are able to be multilingual and therefore we are able to catch and learn different languages and even accent. I guess what I am trying to say is, we all speak with an accent, which is what we have learnt. The accent that is out on the street where every Tom, Dick and Harry starts to overly intonate and pronouns no matter in English, Chinese, malay etc is not cool. We don’t have to speak like a white man to be superior.

So be proud as a Malaysian, speak like a Malaysian, and communicate like a Malaysian

I yelled at mum. I yelled at her! I was like very the off. I didn’t know what got into me. I’m not pre stress or some thing like that, or hormonal changes… mmmm. I don’t think so. I still cannot recollect why I was so pissed. I’m sorry mum. I’m really sorry. I know you don’t read blogs and stuff, let alone operating my computer. But I just want to say how sorry I am for what I did.
*sniff* *sniff*

Well on a lighter note, I didn’t really sleep well last night. I don’t know why but I can’t seem to be able to sleep at night nowadays, not that I sleep in the morning, I have to wake up before 7 and battle my way to work. This song I forgot what’s the name keep ringing in my mind by Dave Wong, more known as Wang Jie.

On another note in China, it seems that composing sms is a hit there. It seems that they are paid to write sms of up to 50 RMB a message. Wow! And I mean WOW! Who says writing is not gonna get you anywhere. I think writing be it in novel, articles, sms and even blogs will eventually contribute to the economy soon.

Just a random note in hopes to unstress my gonnaexplodeanyminutehead which is causing me the torturing of my life now. I’m sorry mum.

krazy4u… if this nick seem a little familiar to you then I might have know you. This nick followed or some what started my chatting a decade ago. I remember those times of IRC and ICQ, MSN and Yahoo were nowhere near existence during that time. I have expanded my chat zone with the addition of MSN, Yahoo and even Skype but I skipped IRC coz I don’t like it anyway. Enough said bout that.
Have you ever had that feeling, a feeling of heartfelt desire, and a feeling that you are losing some thing? I’m not talking bout death here mind you, its bout losing someone dear to you, some one you really want to be with. I have had incidents as such described but then I’m not going to the details as it will bore you. So the point is, have you been in the shoe where giving up is the best option you had? I know giving up is not a good word, but I guess it fits the idea la.
Let’s put it in this way, this someone that you absolutely want to cuddle and hold on to forever, suddenly tells you that it’s not gonna work out. Your partner wants to bail out. What do you do? Normally I guess you’d just start choking your partner to death while asking them to explain, but whey, if you’re choking them how can they explain… you’re killing them… killing them!!! No, I mean seriously, don’t you think you deserve an explanation? Whether they have been out fooling around, they met someone new/better, they are not interested in the opposite sex, or even you’re just a rebound, a toy!
Ok that was a bit overrated so back to my somewhat pathetic brain. I mean to have someone telling you that there is no future between you and your partner is actually a step forward. Be it your suggestion or theirs, it shows someone is looking at the future and sees things beyond the current situation of bread and water for life. However, this kinda situation demands an answer, if not the aftermath is devastating as it leave the person in a state of denial. It goes the same to 2 person who could not be together because of reasons not of their own. And believe me, if you know u cannot be with some one coz of some reason not related to you, the feeling is devastating. You feel the work crashing down and every darn things in this planet is against you.

How do you get over such emotions and situations? I know a lot of people will come and say, let it be, let by gone be by gone, and other stuff like that, but is it really what should happen. I know letting go and move on is the ultimate answer, but how do we do it. And if we claim that we have done it, have we really lift the burden off our shoulders? How do you know that you have actually gotten over some one or something? I believe that when you still hold something inside your heart, be it love, hatred or revenge, then you have not gotten over anything but instead you have build up a dark room in you heart for this particular someone.
If you were to lift the burden, you would not have a string of hatred or thoughts of revenge or even cupids arrow of love. You would just treat the person like a newfound friend. But how many of us can do it? Can you do it? Can you let go and wash all your love, hatred or revenge down the drain and into the ocean? You tell me, and if you are able to do it, then tell me how.
I have been trying for years and been telling myself I should and I will get over it, but in the end, I found out that I still have not been able to do it. Yes, the feelings has definitely subsided, I mean it has definitely shrunk for enormous to big and then to small, but it is still in the heart. I have told myself before that I have to let go, but I think I have redefined the work “let go” wrongly. I believe that letting go does not necessary mean that you have to delete them from your brain and treat them indifferently. I think it’s wrong.
I think letting go means to learn the right from the wrong. Differentiating the past from the present. It has been apart of our lives, we can’t just forget things just like that. We can’t just delete and empty the recycle bin. I believe each and everyone of us has been through a lot and we have a secret little room in our heart that keeps all these no matter if its good or bad, happy or sad, joy or sorrow. The lesson to be learn is to look back at these treasures we lock up in our hearts and be able to say, “I’ve learnt from the bad, sad and sorrow” and “I’ve gained from the good, happy and joy”.

Getting over it does not necessary mean wiping out the experience we have gone through but be able to look back and smile because it happened

OK. This is a film debuted in 2003. I am slow, so sue me. I have actually heard a lot bout this film from a colleague of mind, which is way past his 50s. Yeah yeah, I thought the same thing too, what does a man of his age and his taste in film would catch mine. Well let me tell you that this film is indeed a very nice movie. I will tell you why in a while.
The story is about the relationship of a man (Edward Bloom) and his son (William Bloom). The story starts with the wedding of William and Edward was telling stories to his daughter-in-law. William was not happy as he thinks that his dad was making a fool of himself as his tales contain a lot of elements considered as fairy tale. The story he was telling is about how this big cat fish is uncatchable by anyone and he caught it with his wedding ring and he just took back his wedding ring and released the fish back in the pond. That was on the day William was born. After that night William has a big argument with Edward and they did not speak to each other for the next 3 years until Edward was about to die of cancer. William got the news and headed back to his parents with his wife.
During his stay, he vowed to get to know his dad closely but he did not believe the stories his dad told him. He thought his dad was lying and stuff. During this time Edward was telling some of his stories to his daughter-in-law.
The stories of Edwards early age was as follows, when he was young he was dared to get the glass eye of a witch, and he did. He looked into the eye and saw how he would die. He was a reputable person and was good in all sports. Through his journey he encounters and made friends with this giant whose name was Carl. He took a road less traveled by other and reached a town called spectra and he stayed a while. He left and promised to return.
Then he spotted a lovely girl and knew he wanted to marry. He went and look for this girl and managed to marry her, but then he was sent to war by the government. During the war, he met a Siamese twin of 2 upper bodies and 1 pair of legs.
He returned to spectra and he then bought all the house and land there with the help of his friend in spectra. He and Carl the giant rebuild a house of a young lady as well.
William was having a hard time believing all the stories and decided to clean the pool. He was shocked when a huge catfish emerged in the pool. He was also speechless when the young lady of the house Edward rebuilds told him the story.
The last story in the movie was William recalling the story Edward told him which is to break him out of hospital and drove him to the river. When they reach the river, all his friends were there, the giant, the people of spectra, the circus owner, the Siamese twin, everyone was there. They were sending Edward off. Edward was dropped in the river and he turned into a catfish.
With this story Edward passed away. During his funeral, William saw all his dad�s friends attending the funeral. The circus owner, the giant, twins and all those in his stories.

It is often enough that we are some times embarrassed by our parents or family or even relatives, I know I am. We always had friend that their parents are the doctors, engineers, or whatsoever professional they are and ours always seem to be not that great. We always say we are proud of our parents and we should be, but is that always the truth. I doubt it.
Let not talk about that and ponder upon our relationship or communication between you and your parents. Does the phrase generation gap ring a bell? I bet it does. We always seek to be understood and say it�s because of generation gap that they don�t understand us, but have we thought about it in a different perspective, do we understand them. Have we done enough to try to understand them? Don�t you think it should be mutual where they seek to understand us and we should return it by trying to understand them. The saying goes �when you grow older you will understand why your parents are like that�, and I believe it�s true. Don�t you think so? Ask those who are close to you who have been a father/mother. They will be able to answer.
I guess what I am trying to say is that we have always wanted to be listened, but have we done anything to deserve the attention? Shouldn�t we be realistic and start listening to those we want them to listen to us. If we don�t listen, then we would not be listened to as well. I guess if people listened to you then you would listen back to them in return rite.
Think bout it�

�Seek to listen and understand so we are better understood�

I was driving past this fire brigade station at Jalan Hang Tuah just now and hit the brakes. Almost skidded but managed to control the car. Hey, I’m not that bad a driver ok. Though I might have said so much bout driving and some of my driving habits, that doesn’t mean I do it all the time. Well back to that, I was actually avoiding a baby cat. I though it was no longer breathing but no matter I would avoid even hitting anything no matter if it’s still alive or dead. Then I got a glimpse of it moving its head. OMG it’s alive. It’s alive. I was too far off to brake in an emergency, as I do not want these people from the back to kiss my butt. It’s a bit the sad to see the cat sitting in the middle of the road like a sitting duck. It risk to be run over as it does not even dare to move a limb but it’s head occasionally, like a scared little kitty. I truly hope it will survive and be spared the tires of death.
Earlier was breakfast at one of the best pork ball noodles (rectangle type) in town, which resides in Pandan Jaya. I was a bit the shock this time though I do not eat there soooooo often, but I do have my breakfast there like once in 2 or 3 months. Normally it will be packed and I have never seen the “si tau po” speak. She would be too busy preparing the food for the patrons but then today most probably because of the rain, and I was quite early, she was not so busy. I sat there and was watching her scolding one of her daughters (I presume ler, coz she does resembles her). She was sarcastic but no, she did not scream. I guess she lives in my kind of upbringing, not that I was always being sarcastically screamed at everyday. I knew how she must have felt at that time.
I am just pondering from the upbringing of yesteryears again where children do not talk back at their parents and listens, to the tech savvy age now that children not only talk back, they mock and scold and even runaway. What is happening here!!! Am I missing something in this evolution of upbringing???
Anyway, this is just a little thought that ran through my mind when I sat there eating, watching, and listening to them. Then the cat reminds me of the many things in life like sympathy, fear and of coz animal cruelty.
Let’s help them like helping our society to come to their senses of humanity…
Blind thoughts in the morning and I am in the office. Darn. I want to sleep, I want to rest. Why do need to work now? Why? Why? Why?

Well let me relate a two incidents which I have gone through yesterday and some time back. Firstly is at this parking up on the 7th floor. I finished my work and I was leaving the office and got in my car. Got out the money and tickets all ready to pay (like an eager young boy, cheh). So I drove up to the parking attendant counter (a box really). I opened my door and passed the ticket and cash to this guy in the box. Well, I’m not kiasu or anything but my power window snapped sometime ago and me being very the busy, have not fixed it yet. Well back to this guy, he starts asking this lady which usually sit there being the cashier, with a harsh tone of voice. He was not even paying attention to this lady… and he started pressing this button and that button. At the end of the commotion, the barrier did not rise…
I was sitting there patiently with my door slightly opened. I peeped at the rear view mirror and saw a queue behind my car. $#!T… normally if I am the one queuing, I would suggest that the guy in front must be out of cash, or only had big bills, or something else unpleasant. Though I do sometimes think of good stuff like may be the machine was faulty or something like that la. And some more with my door slightly opened it seems that I was the one causing all the trouble and the guy behind actually got off his car to come front to check what was happening, like may b I was out of cash or something like that man. I was like trapped in the bad guy situation for like 15 mins, and boy that 15 mins was like 1 ½ hours… finally the decided to up the barrier and let me go as I have paid and they gave me back my balance, so guys it was not me its them OK.
I remember another incident not long ago when I went to this Cisco Seminar in KL Hilton. First of all they had to stick a long metal thing with some lights and I had to unlock my boot for them to inspect. It was just a few weeks after some bombing dunno where so never mind la, let them check lo. Then I spend the whole day in the seminar and lunch as well, uh um, not bad man. After that, I went and got my car and drove out as everyone else to leave the car park. Same thing, reaches the counter and paid my parking fees. That time it was not machine fault but they ran out of the receipt. They were trying to install a new roll of receipt but to no avail. I mean they are supposed to be pro at these kinda situations and I had to be the unlucky ones when amateur does it.
Lucky I did not have to deal with that in the same day if not I would actually think I am a sort of bad luck person. You know what they say, “Jatuh ditimpa tangga”, fall down already then the stair falls on you hai. I don’t want to be called the bringer of death bad luck you know.
Any way it’s actually about your perception. I mean have you ever judge someone or something just by, let’s say the incidents above. Are we supposed to judge? Are we supposed to think the way we think? We often have the perception that he/she is this/that, he/she must be this/that. But have we actually stop for a second and think. The truth might be very different from our perception of reality. We might think that we are right, but are we. It is so often that we judge a person or something without even think that we are wrong, we always think that we are right. But are we??

Should we judge by our perception of reality?? Are you responsible for your judgments??
