Confidence.....

When we talk about confidence..... many things related. I should say my point for this article is:
"By confidence, we can do so many things".........

Its really true and certainly the result is everywhere, for example:

  • People wont give their money to the broker if they are not confidence enough on the broker capability handling money their money or the economic stability.
  • The relationship between 2 person would not last longer when only one of the couple don't have the confidence to their partner.
  • There wont be any technologies been created if the inventor are not confidence enough with their theory and creation.
  • The country will be ruin if the leaders are not confidence enough with their leadership.
  • The family will be in haywire if the father or mother dont have confidence in their parental guidance to their children and family.
  • A person wont be succeed if their dont have a confidence in pursue their dreams.

Anything are based on the confidence and it depends on the person, leader, or anybody to put their confidence level. High or low, big or small, good or not. Why i place this article is because it remind me of one incident in Sandakan.......

We went to Pangkalan Pukat for dinner and place an order, normally the Pangkalan Pukat is specialised with seafood. We did asked about the chicken dish on how sedap it is...... the waiter reply

"Ayam goreng kami lebih sedap dari KFC" ( Our fried chicken is delicious than KFC)

All of us turn speechless. Wow....... normally they will say sedap like KFC or ok la or anything... but i really surprise the confidence statement of waiter ..... really confidence and the chicken is really SEDAP!!!!!!!!

Have a confidence in ur life mate...... cause with it really worth it.Owh...... thats my motto...

" Because am worth it "

Cheers

p/s.... peduli ape orang nak kata, i still nak type aper benda yang berlengkar dalam fikiran ku. or nak buat aper benda yang nak buat cause i know i can do it and Im worth it...... kekekekekeke

Yoga Banned in Malaysia


Am so totally disagree with The Majlis Fatwa Negara...........

See this article by click ere.

http://malaysia.news.yahoo.com/ap/20081122/tap-as-malaysia-no-yoga-for-muslims-b3c65ae.html

Do they really know what is all about or they just see it and discuss and decide to banned........... what is wrong with them? They claimed " The National Fatwa Council's chairman, Abdul Shukor Husin, said many Muslims fail to understand that yoga's ultimate aim is to be one with a god of a different religion"

My question........

Is it many Malaysian fail to understand the Yoga or Only THEM who really FAIL to understand what yoga excercise is all about?

Whats next..... women cant work or woman cant wear long pants?

Duh.........

Avenue Q




Synopsis from the net :

The fabulously furry Avenue Q is a fun-filled romp featuring an ensemble of actors and some rather risqué puppets.The theme revolves around the lives of Princeton, a fresh-faced college grad; Brian, the out-of-work comedian; Internet porn addict Trekkie Monster and kindergarten teaching assistant Kate and of course, Lucie the Slut.


They get away with things only puppets can! (without being arrested).Together, Princeton and his newfound friends struggle to make it in New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account.“The Internet Is For Porn”, “It Sucks to Be Me” and “What do you do with a B.A. in English” are just some of the hilarious songs you'll hear. Think Sesame Street with a very grown up twist

Comment from Me: - Awesome.......

One of the activities me and my SO is watching the Avenue Q. Totally a different concept of theater. The word, the artist and the set and the show...... you should watch though........ owh wait..... its in Singapore........ Dont think Malaysia Gov will allowed them to enter because its racist ( cheh, thats not a new issue) , vulgar word usage ( well that been practice all this while what) , bad influence(as if the bad influence came from outside..... inside is innocent meh!!!) , and many more of bad bad thing. ehehehehehee......

But, seriously though, you should watch.........

Cheers

Why Muslim cant eat pork

They ask this question and I'm try my best to answer it. Maybe someone out there can give much more better info than this.Why Muslim can't consume pork or even PorkSausage. You want to know.



Good scientific explanation



Bob: Tell me why is it that a Muslim is very particular about the words Halaal and haraam; what do they mean



Yunus: That which is permissible is termed Halaal and that which is not permissible is termed Haraam and it is the Quran which draws the distinction between the two



Bob: Can you give me an example?



Yunus: Yes, Islam has prohibited blood of any type. You will agree that a chemical analysis of blood shows that it contains an abundance of uric acid, a chemical substance which can be injurious to human health



Bob: You're right about the toxic nature of uric acid, in the human being it is excreted as a waste product and in fact we are told that 98 percent of the body's uric acid is extracted from the blood by the kidneys and removed through urination



Yunus: Now I think that you'll appreciate the special prescribedmethod of animal slaughter in Islam



Bob: What do you mean?



Yunus: You see, the wielder of the knife, whilst taking the name of the 'Almighty', makes an incision through the jugular veins, leaving all other veins and organs intact



Bob: I see, this causes the death of the animal by total loss of blood from the body, rather than an injury to any vital organ



Yunus: Yes, were the organs, example the heart, the liver, or thebrain crippled or damaged, the animal could die immediately and its blood would congeal in its veins and would eventually permeate the flesh. This implies that the animal flesh would be permeated and contaminated with uric acid and therefore very poisonous; only today did our dieticians realize such a thing



Bob: Again, while on the topic of food; Why do Muslims condemn the eating of pork or ham or any foods related to pigs or swine



Yunus: Actually, apart from the Quran prohibiting the consumption of pork, bacon (pig flesh); in fact the Bible too in Leviticus chapter 11, verse 8, regarding swine it says," of their flesh (of the swine, another name for pig) shall you not eat, and of their carcass you shall not touch;they are unclean to you. Further, did you know that a pig cannot be slaughtered at the neck for it does not have a neck; that is according to its natural anatomy. A Muslim reasons that if the pig was to be slaughtered and fit for human consumption the Creator would have provided it with a neck. Nonetheless, all that aside,I am sure you are well informed about the harmful effects of the consumption of pork, in any form, be it pork chops, ham, bacon



Bob: The medical science finds that there is a risk for various disease as the pig is found to be a host for many parasites and potential diseases



Yunus: Yes, even apart from that, as we talked about uric acid content in the blood, it is important to note that the pig's biochemistry excretes only 2 percent of its total uric acid content, the remaining 98 percent remains as an integral part of the body

Journey Tales to The South

To be frank, this is the first time i travel from kl to the south city and alone. No one know why and whom i met in the south city. I just have a thought and say......
"I want to go down and i just have to go down".
Although, since last month until now, my schedule is really tight with promo, my parents come down to kl and many other activities, i just find a time for me to go to South city. And again this is the first time i did this.

So, i take a chance last weekend to go down. Bought a return ticket and start from friday after work, i take a journey by bus. Reach to the south city bout 15 min to 12.00 midnite. Since my fav local telco have the roaming services, i want to try and unfortunately this both giant telco in malaysia DOES NOT ACTIVATE my ROAMING. Just imagine how do i feel at that time. The connection lost once i enter 15-20km to the south city.

I take a risk by ask a favour from other passenger to send 1 sms and direct my SO to where i am. There's drama happen at that time and all i could say is..... ask people for the direction and at the same time have the currency exchange so that you could make phone call for communication.

Thank god i manage to get connection. If not i die.

Next day, we went out for breakfast and have a tourist activities. Gosh....... the south city is really change amazingly. I really don't want to go there just for shopping, i want to see what else beside shopping......... well to be truth there is and its really amaze me. I love it every single moment when i was there.
Stop on a negative mind about the city. Look at a bright side. They are well develop, proper, well organised, attractive, up to date, new, renew, anything..... just name it. They have the credit. Somehow or rather, we're kind of envy of what they have. That is why, we tend to say bad thing about south city in order to hide our jealousies and at the same time we're unable to do that...... am i rite mate.......?
Went for a dinner with my SO friends and went to a pub because night is still young. Well, to be truth, i like the environment. But then, do you notice that they prohibit us to smoke inside the pub or club......... owh...... thats was SMASHING............ I hate smoke all around and it absorb on my shirt..... mau fening........Pengsan wooooo
The next day also, we do the tourist activities. Well, again.... i simply love and love every moment of it together with watch play The Avenue Q at Singapore Repertory Theater. After the show, we went for dinner at Changi Airport......
Do you know that, beside send people to airport, The southern people went there for other reasons too.......?
For example, go there for shopping, having dinner, lunch and breakfast and for a leisure........ seriously they do.......kid me not mate......
I guess thats about it my tales to the south. I should say.... i like it very much and love every moment when i was there and definitely i have to come again........ This time, i want to explore more......
Whahahahahahahahaha Muahahahahahahahahaha
I'll BE BACK..........ok ok ok.... am to exaggerate but i'll be back........
Trulu..... cheers



Other point of view

Hummmm,

Within a month, I've been from KL, to Bintulu, then to Sandakan and recently, i went to Singapore for various reason, work, personal, research and observed. Definitely, lot of things i already captured and keep it in my mind. I like.........

Like i said, yes, it really bring me to the other point of views. From people perspective, the new world from what i had and what new things i seen and experience, new experience and new idea where i could used for myself and my work related. This is really interesting and i like it.

But then, when i look it back or realised it or not........ some people just go to a new place just for one purpose.......... for example.... if i said Singapore..... shopping, Sandakan..... old place to look, KK..... cheap seafood....Bintulu....... a small town with a rapid and high oil and gas industry......

The Question is "
Do you have to see only one point of view.........?
Why not see from other angle?


There are lot of things we could do over there.... not just the place i mentioned..... other place....... not only for one or 2 reasons.... it can be more...... do you realised that Miri or Kuching... they have a clean and well organised town? why can we do the same thing in KL or JB?

I dont know why, but i strongly believe that if you stop-by and think further before doing and decision..... we actually can perform better in the future. We are step further because we are prepared for the future.

I guess that's all....... what do you think babe?

Cheers

Me and Saturday

After a full hectic day in the office on friday....... i went back with a tired and exhausted. All in my mind is just bed and tv cause that what i want to have when am tired. But then, since i have made some promise with my special one......i have to be active and prepare for the night.

We went out for dinner. Both of us went to Chinese restaurant near to DBP building. We had a chinese cuisine for dinner. Its really interesting and am actually like it. Though its like the authentic chinese cooking but i enjoy every moment during dinner.

Conversation and good food certainly make the best moment for the night.

After dinner, we went to Skybar........ had a drink and get the view. Thats my promise to my special one to bring to Skybar.After that we all went to one club at klcc area owh wait 2 club. Been quite sometime didnt do that and i enjoy it. Too bad both of us tired. If not, we will stay longer last night.

Its been for so long i didnt do activities like that. Probably, not all my friends have the same interest like me and at the same time mo money.kekekkekee

I always enjoy good food and good conversation while having meals. We can actually discuss in a better way during dinner.But it subject that we have to be only not focus to the sensitive issues. Then, its surely a good conversation while having meal. Thats why, most of businessman do love having dinner while discuss bout business.

Now am at the best place i could imagine hummmmmm love it. Wish i could have this everyday.

Till then, Cheers

Kids schooling nowadays

Last few days, i had a conversation with my office mate and she mentioned about her problem sending her 2 kids to the nursery and take care of her kids while she and her hubby working. Few issues and then the conversation sending their kids to the private school.

According to her, she would prefer to send her kids to the private school at Gombak because they have good education syllabus and the school take care of the meals, and their children welfare. Sounds good and at the same time, parents has to pay some amount of money to accommodate the facilities for their children.

While talking to that topic, it remind me, my brother also did the same thing. He did send his children to the same private school my friend want to send her children. I used to asked him, why not send his kid to the ordinary school? he reply thats nowadays its not the same what we had during our time. Its different and not really good for the children mind and bla bla bla.......

Makes me wonder, what happen to our normal school education? Is it that bad.....?

I still believe we do have a better standard for our children education. I still believe, it still can create the best education for our new generation. I dont know cause i dont have kids and my school experience long gone and done. unless i want to be an educator. Am i? ehehehehehe nah......... am not good in teaching. I have bad skill in teach. Keekekekekekeke.....

But then seriously, is it our education is that bad until more parent willing to pay more sending their kids to the private school?

Hummmmmmmm

Not being me

I do believe, sometime we tend to do something beyond the normal activities. From that point you will know what is your limits and what else can you do rather then doing the same thing in this life.

After back from Sarawak, i dont know what happen to me but then i can see something is happen. Am not being myself and what i assure is i really have take action on controlling the situation and starting from now.

I guess being in this age, we tend to see different point of view and what we have achieve. My interest at this point on philosophy is more on self motivation on a person like me who have difficulty to motivate.

I dont know why, im able to support and give morality to my friends who need it. Unfortunately not to me. The only person who actually can motivate me is me. And as a human im sure we tend to do some mistake and lazy to do this and that.

I better take control right from ......... now? ehehehehe yes now.

Rural or urban

This few days, most of my conversation is on my field trip in Sarawak and i expect more when am heading to Sabah. Previously, most of my field trip is at Town area and at the building. So, its kind of new thing for me and new experience i gain during this event.
Once i touched down in Kuching International Airport, then take a cab to hotel and have a rest, then next day we all meet up and heading to the schedule place. From one place to another, its give me two different point of view. Start from the city until to the rural area...... lots of character, lots of stories i heard and bla bla bla. The town and the people, their culture and their way of life does interest me and trigger me more.
Am so excited and at the same time i have memories on my trip. Am looking forward to go there again. Im so trill with the Kuching or Sarawak surroundings. being me, am so called used to the city life and peninsular surround. Its really rare for me to see the Kuching and Sarawak environment. In my opinion, i should say this area or living in a state, they are more human touch compared to the city life.
No matter any races or community, they are really human touch. We should take that as one of our character that kind of reduce these days.
Moral of the story,
City life is for Money,
Kampung life is for lifestyle, holiday, relax and socialised.
Ok ok i need to stop this, feels like so not me when am saying like this............ kekekekeke
I still love Kl and always do.

What a name .......

Yeap......what a name.......

I guess you did know about some of the area has a unique name...... Batang berjuntai, Janda Baik, Pendek, Bukit Katil, Menggatal and many more and for most of us is funny....... same goes here where I went to Sarawak from 31st Oct till 2nd Nov for promotion of my work and we went several places for Hit and Run event. One of the place called "Tatau"......

This place is one of a rural area in Sarawak. Nice place and very calm place. Not much people over there and in fact the population of the foreign worker is more than the local i believe. At first i dont actually know the name of the place.... then they keep on saying tatau several times....... i was like what the hell happen, sikit-sikit tatau, sikit-sikit tatu then aper yang they tau.........

I asked them, "ape yang tau and ape yang tatau.....? "

They laugh like hell when they heard what i ask. Then they explain that tatau is a name of a place. so i got a silly joke about that........

Foreign people came to Tatau and want to know the name of tatau....

Foreign people : Hello, you orang sini ka.....
Local : Ya, wa orang sini.
Foreign people : Apa nama tempat nie?
Local : Tatau
Foreign people : aiya, you cakap you org sini, tapi you tak tau plak nama tempat ni.
Local : Ya la, wa orang sini, ini tempat tatau mah.....
Foreign people : Pelik betul la you, cakap you orang sini, tapi tak tau nama tempat nie.....
Local : Halo blader, ini tempat nama Tatau, bukan wa tak tau.
( while show the signboard on the street)
Foreign people : Ooooooooo ( shy face turn up)
