Lights everywhere.....


Last month i went to I-City, Shah Alam.

Been there few times but this time around, there was much upgrading had been done to the place. As you can see in the pictures below, it was livelier.
 




 
Some of the featured light statues i took at I-City.
It is beautiful. i believe this place have potential as 
tourist icon. They are currently upgrading the place
with more attractions. A waterpark had just been 
open there. plus there are several parks there that 
would interest children.


 I do encourage you guys to experience the excited with LED lights.

Yes, they might use a lot of electricity. Then TNB would be so happy...heh!

Dikalung Kasihan – Imran Ajmain


Tiada suara penantian tak bersudah
Sesalanku pun bermula
Sepadannya usia

Tiada cara membiaskanmu cahaya
Puisi tak berlagu
Beza dia ketara tanpamu

Menitis air mata
Dikalung kasihan padamu
Berbisik dengan hati
Apa erti cintaku

Memilih kata-kata
Berselindungkan yang ternyata
Lelah ku pun terbela
Terlerai kepedihan

Lama
Tiada kata terkilan terbatas asa
Detik pun kian berlalu
Ku tahu luka itu perlu

Menitis air mata
Dikalung kasihan padamu
Berbisik dengan hati
Apa erti cintaku

Memilih kata-kata
Berselindungkan yang ternyata
Lelah ku pun terbela
Terlerai kepedihan

Lama
Ku bertahan ku bersabar
Menyimpan rahsia yang sebenar
Percuma saja berkorban

Menitis air mata
Dikalung kasihan padamu
Berbisik dengan hati
Apa erti cintaku

Memilih kata-kata
Berselindungkan yang ternyata
Lelah ku pun terbela
Terlerai kepedihan

Lama
Lelah ku pun terbela
Terlerai pedih lama

Pampering oneself...

It was last weekend...

As usual every year, a group of friends would celebrate my birthday somewhere. This year, we decided to have a buffet at Golden Palm Tree Resort situated at Gold Coast Sepang. Yeah...it is the fancy name for Bagan Lalang beach near Sepang. Nowadays, people love to glamorised local names like in Banting, we have Gold Coast Morib and so on....

The idea was to enjoy the food while admiring the scenery. Alas, it rained a bit that evening and it was a bit cloudy. Didn't get much of the sunset....


But we did have fun that night and i stayed the night there. The next morning i took a walk and just had a relaxing day at the beach.....

A small crab
At times, we need to pamper ourselves.....

Muara Hati – Hafiz & Siti Nurhaliza


Cinta terpisah ruang waktu
Tetap cinta bersatu dalam hatiku
Walau raga kita tak mungkin bersama
Ku yakini hati kan tetap setia
Ku percaya ke mana pun kau berjalan
Suara cinta menuntunmu kepadaku
Kerna bila cinta sudah bersenandung
Takkan terpisah hati

[Chorus]
Demi cinta dalam hatimu
Ku yakin engkau untukku
Meski jejak pisahkan kita
Cinta kan bawa kembali padamu
Aku ada kerna engkau ada
Tercipta hatiku hanyalah untukmu
Jalanku pertunjuk padamu
Ke mana pun kan pasti kembali

Demi cinta dalam hatimu
Ku yakin engkau untukku
Meski jejak pisahkan kita
Cinta kan bawa kembali padamu
Demi cinta dalam hatimu
Biarkan aku merasuk
Bersatu dalam hatimu
Hanya dirimu dan aku
Demi cinta dalam hatimu
Biarkan aku merasuk (merasuk dalam hati)
Cinta

Girl On Fire - Alicia Keys Featuring Nicki Minaj



She's just a girl, and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy, longer like a highway
She's living in a world, and it's on fire
Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away

Oh, she got both feet on the ground
And she's burning it down
Oh, she got her head in the clouds
And she's not backing down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say

Oh, we got our feet on the ground
And we're burning it down
Oh, got our head in the clouds
And we're not coming down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Everybody stands, as she goes by
Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her when she's lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Oh, oh, oh...

She's just a girl, and she's on fire

Life is like a glass of water...really!

Well, this is the topic i'd prepared for a public speaking competition earlier this month.

Just wanted to share it here...

' Life is like a glass of water'. 
 






 

Water is a free-flow entity which needs a vessel to contain them. Without it, well...you'll be wet! Some people had said life to a glass of water. It is interesting to know how they relate it together. There are few anecdotes which details this and below I'll share 2 of them.

A chemistry professor decided to teach his students a different lesson one day. Holding a glass of water in his hand, he asked the students,  “How much do you think this glass of water weighs?” 

“1/2 litre!” came a voice from the back. “1 litre,” said another student. 

“Well, even I don’t really know!” said the professor, holding the glass up to make sure everyone could see it. “And unless we weigh it, we won’t know.” With the glass still in his outstretched hand, the professor continued, “What will happen if I hold it like this for a few minutes?”

“Nothing!” came the reply. 

“Right, and if I hold it for an hour like this, what might happen?” 

“Your hand will begin to hurt,” said a student.

 “Indeed. And what would happen if I held the glass in my hand like this for 24 hours?”

“You would be in tremendous pain,” said one student. “Your hand will probably go numb,” said another.
“Your arm will be paralysed and we’ll need to rush you to the hospital!” said a student on the last bench.

“True,” said the professor. “But notice that through all this, the weight of the glass did not change. What then causes the pain?”

The class went quiet. The students seemed puzzled.

“What should I do to avoid the pain?” asked the professor.

“Put the glass down!” said a student of the floor,

"Well said!” exclaimed the professor. “And that’s a lesson I want you to remember. The problems and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. But think about it a bit longer and they begin to hurt.  And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralysed – incapable of doing anything. It’s important to remember to let go of your problems. Remember to put the glass down!”

We may not have been in that classroom that day, but it’s  a lesson we would all do well to remember. Put the glass down! 

Always!

It’s not just problems and worries. Sometimes, we feel hurt and betrayed by a friend. And we carry that grudge through our lives. It grows and causes us anguish and pain. Learning to forgive – and forget – is not just good for the other people, it’s great for you. 

It is the same with our fears too. A failure or an incident in early childhood becomes a deeply entrenched fear over time. Fear of public speaking, fear of rejection. You name it, and chances are, we have it. Someone gave us that glass to hold when we were little kids – ‘you are no good, you can’t do it’ -  and we have faithfully held on to it all our lives. ‘I can’t’ - becomes a thought that stays in our mind and grows – leading us to complete paralysis. Time to put the glass down!

Another anecdote is to compare my mind to a glass of water.

It’s small, mostly transparent, and limited in capacity. I can add water to the brim of the glass, but once it’s full it can no longer fit any additional water. Instead, it just spills over the side of the glass and runs all over the table. In the same way, my mind is continually filled with bits and pieces of information – thus when new information is added, the old tends to spill out.

Does this sound familiar?

A friend asks me to stop at the grocery store on my way home. I can do that. While I successfully make the stop to pick up bread and milk, I subsequently forget to stop at the bank and post office. It’s as if my mind was filled to full capacity and could no longer add anything additional.

Pouring out your glass. In order to truly relieve the stress on your mind, you need to empty the glass of water. In order to do this, you need to have a system you can trust. You probably can think of examples of how you do this in your own life. For example, have you ever put your keys next to the door at night just so you ensure they are not lost in the morning? By doing so, you have created a system you trust and probably did not add any “what if I lose my keys” stress to your sleep that night.

There are hundreds of ways you can structure your system to make it work for you. If you have a smartphone, learn to use the calendar or reminder features. Use posterboard to make a plan for specific tasks. Perhaps even buy and carry around a personal notebook planner. Whatever your system is – make it yours and learn to trust your system.

Hopefully by reading this you'll learn something relevant to your life. Stop stressing around. Instead, take your time and tend to it. It's better for your mental health.

One More Night - Maroon 5



You and I go hard at each other like we're going to war
You and I go rough, we keep throwing things and slamming the door
You and I get so damn dysfunctional, we stopped keeping score
You and I get sick, and I know that we can't do this no more

But baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid crawling back to you

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night

Try to tell you no, but my body keeps on telling you yes
Try to tell you stop, but your lipstick got me so out of breath
I'll be waking up in the morning, probably hating myself
And I'll be waking up feeling satisfied, but guilty as hell

But baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you
Yeah I stopped using my head, using my head let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid crawling back to you

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night

Yeah baby give me one more night

Well baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you
Yeah I stopped using my head, using my head let it all go
Got you're stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
Yeah... yeah... yeahhhh

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night

Yeah baby give me one more night

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night

Oh baby gimme one more night

That old feeling...

Yeah...

That date has come again! It's my birthday....

I am turning 31 years old. Had yet to achieve anything significant. Not that i planned to do so but it would be nice to have something to tell my children and my children's children - 'You know what, when i reached 30 i had achieve this and that'...he...he....Well, that's the dream.

So, how would this year turn out to be? Lets just pray and hope i would endure through it all.... the good, the bad and the ugly.

Diamonds (In the Sky)


Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

Find light in the beautiful sea
I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I
We’re like diamonds in the sky

You’re a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I’m alive
We’re like diamonds in the sky

I knew that we’d become one right away
Oh, right away
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes

So shine bright tonight, you and I
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Palms rise to the universe
As we moonshine and molly
Feel the warmth, we’ll never die
We’re like diamonds in the sky

You’re a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I’m alive
We’re like diamonds in the sky

At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes

So shine bright tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

So shine bright tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Oh, yeah
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

What happened during the 6 month lull last year...

It is the truth.

I didn't post anything for the past 6 months because i am lazy.
Yeah...
lazy to type down anything....
lazy to download all the pics taken...
lazy to give my commentaries on the movies i watched... 
lazy to log on....
Basically and utterly......LAZY!!!!

So...what had happened during the last 6 months? A lot really. Went for a trip to Europe again. This time through Istanbul to Amsterdam to Athens.




Also i went to USS. Yup, Universal Studio Singapore and rode all the rides. It was terrific!!!

 Then, my office got restructuring as we headed off towards Wave 4 and SAP / SRM systems upgrade.


I'll try and post about them later.....however, i did tweet about them 'live'....hmmm......

Les Miserables and The Hobbit...

Two of the most awaited movies of the year 2012....

LES MISERABLES

What can i say about this movie but the distinguished non-stop singing from the beginning of the movie right till the end. Some might feel the movie a bit dragging.....and yes, it is!

A long story of a man's struggles in life after being harshly punished  for a small crime.When his sentenced was up, he was stamped as menace to the society. Thus was poorly treated when looking for jobs and things. He was bitter but alas, he found a savior in god and had since mend his ways to make to the top of the society.  He had also changed his identity.

However, he was hounded by the authority especially by an Inspector who knew him as a convict. Then he met a woman which was dying. He promised to take care of her child. When the child grew up, he didn't tell his past to her. The child had fallen in love with a young revolutionist. The man realizes that he had to let go the child to find her own life.


- It was a great movie. A snooze here and there but a beautiful story. Some parts are sad while some i don't think even needed singing. To truly enjoys the performance, you must see the act live in theatres. Obviously not in this country. In the beginning, you'll hardly recognise Hugh Jackman as the lead. Anne Hathaway was..okay..just a small part of the story but that small part is painful to see...in a good way! At the end of the movie, you just feel helpless at the injustices of the world. In conclusion, if you find god in your misery...he'll guide you all the way...   

THE HOBBIT
  

If you love LOTR series then you must go and watch this movie. I mean who doesn't want to know what adventure did Bilbo Baggins had before Frodo was even born? About how he met Gandalf the Grey and on how he was honored in Rivendale, the Elven country.

This is the prelude of the series. The book that Bilbo had written for Frodo. I like this movie. I had come upon critics who says it was boring. well, not to me. It was interesting all the way to the end though it wasn't really the end. 

I don't want to tell more. Just go and watch it!!!
