LAYSAN-ISMS

CONFIRMED.

2008-02-27T01:31:00.002Z

10 mins ago, i felt my table and the chair that i was sitting on moving horizontally. the first thing that came into my mind was that our friends from a different space were moving them so i amitabha-ed twice and it stopped. i did wonder if it was a delusion or an earthquake but seeing that the moving stopped after the prayer i did, i decided not to think twice about it and continued with what i was doing. shortly after that, ven came and asked if i knew there was an earthquake. so it WAS an earthquake. its not a visit by our friends. neither was it my delusion.

actually this reminds me of the previous earthquake that i experienced (sorta) back in kl in 2005. i remembered telling my frens that i thought there were ghosts o sth and to confirm that it was not my delusion i actually moved my bed to see if it was moving by itself. again, today, 3 years after the first one that i had, the first thing that comes into my mind remains exactly the same. i have not changed AT ALL. confirmed.

i was reading the star online and combining what i just read with what i saw from my court visits last week, i really feel that ppl in this world are sick..so sick that they dun even realise that they are..

it seems like its fairly common to have cases involving stepparents abusing their stepchildren, father AND uncle raping a 13-year-0ld gal, mothers KILLING THEIR OWN children, lawyers brokering in the appointment of judges, etc etc..

and not only that there was sth wrong with the ppl, the climate has also gone so wrong that russia has started to snow now..-__________-

i m really worried abt the penguins in antartica.

this is where i am staying right now..

2007-10-16T23:46:00.000+01:00

The bed
My room
The incredibly small study table

Door + my study table
My personalised notice board..and the gal is kate moss..i got it from topshop that day..HAHA
We dont have a hook, nor a proper small desk..so we decided to make a box, being covered with a bedsheet, a small desk to put our mirror on..

Living room without a tv.

Kitchen + living room
Kitchen 1
Kitchen 2

The staircase

The entrance. erm..the floral cloth is actually the remainder of vendee's curtain that we used to block the glasses so that ppl cant c us fr outside..

Happy Merdeka!

2007-08-31T14:04:00.000+01:00

i have never been a patriotic person but i must say that the specials Astro did for Malaysia's 50th birthday has somehow touched me in someway. so i guess maybe i shld drop sth here to commemorate this special day.

apparently, Astro has come up with the idea of finding 50 persons, aging fr 1-50, who were born on 31/8 for interviews abt their lives and experience. so each interview was to be shown each day, starting fr the 1-year-old infant until the 50-year-old uncle. sorta a countdown so to say. i know this sound quite normal but do save ur comment until the last part of this entry. (mayb u will feel like the way i do after u have finished reading it. i hope u do, at least.)

so today, they were showing the making of the specials. i watched and i really think that they have done a great gob. in the making, they showed us first, how the 50 persons were found. before i saw this, i never found it hard to find them because for me, u could have just paid a visit to the name registry o whateva and asked for the list of names who were born on 31/8. easy rite? but surprisingly, they were not 'discovered' in that way. instead, each of the crew called their friends, their friends' friends', their friends' parents, their friends' parents' friends and the list went on, in order to look for these people. pretty manual i must say. and it did not just stop there. having found the people u need did not mean that they would do whateva u asked. most of the peeps found were very reluctant to broadcast themselves in tv whilst some (emphasis on people ranging fr 30-40) went very suspicious abt ur call and kept asking u questions to confirm that u were genuinely inviting them to show up in tv and yet, give u a big no in the end.

according to the crew, the hardest part was the shooting of kids. they were blardy uncontrollable and of course, they lived in their own world so what u said din affect them much actually. and fr what i saw, i can feel that the crew could have lost their patience at any time but they just couldnt let it out on the kids because first, the parents were there keeping an eye on u and second, scolding them would only make them cry like hell and it would do no good. so definitely a credit here for the crew members.

and there was this part where i found it pretty funny. a Malay man was interviewed and in his part, he was supposed to read a script that had been prepared beforehand. he just couldnt remember what he was to say and his friend had tried to help him by telling him whats next behind the cameramen. i could see that the man had tried his best, because he said, "kali ini pasti boleh!". and yet, he still couldnt do it. HAHA! his fren went 'urgh...' and in the end, the man wrote his script on a board and his friend held it in front of him (behind the cameramen of course) for him to read. good take. finally. a 5-second shot can really turn out to be a day of work man. crazy.

and they had also found a couple who were both born on 31/8. so the crew asked the husband to say 'happy birthday' to the wife and it went like this:
"zhu ni sheng ri kuai le..umphfffffff....HAHAHAHAH!". the husband broke into a hysteric laugh himself, leaving the wife in shock and dunno what to say. HAHAHAHA! classic man. i laughed like mad when i saw this part and my granny asked, "jiang hao xiao meh". -______-"

speaking of the stuff Astro did, i must say that their advertisements are really good. their ads are dramatic yet meaningful, funny yet touching. very well done indeed. my fav piece gotta be the 'love knows borders' ad. i like the indian ah ma man. so cute. HAHA! u guys shld really c that.

i hav still hav quite a lot to say but i feel kinda tired now. so this is to be continued...hopefully.

Tuesdays with Morrie

2007-06-26T20:22:00.000+01:00

Just finished watching the tuesday with morrie movie and this is what i think:

1. Morrie asked: "Whats wrong for being number 2?".

A simply-worded question indeed. But hell, YES. whats wrong for being number 2? People are striving to be number 1 BUT what the reason is really. Fame? Pride? To avoid the sarcasm and shamefulness that you are gonna face for being defeated by number 1? Doesnt the person who gets number 2 always get the chance, or should i say the advantage, to do better next time? You might think that 'Ah, its a plain excuse for not being the best.' HAHA. True enough. But where does being the best get you to anyway? Happiness? Yea a short-term one maybe because there might as well be a person who beats you down later on and makes your so-called happiness vanish in a 'Puff!-all gone' way. Of course, competition might bring you improvement. But thats only ONE of the many sideeffects that might arise. Say, in the end, you won. And so what? You might have lost something when you gain the other and the circle goes on and on and on. I know this is a bit out of line with morrie's question but i just feel like writing something. HAHAHA.

p/s:
I have come across a person's blog saying that 'never be satisfied' is his favourite quote, reason being that its not that you will 'never be happy' but that you are to strive to be better always. True enough and it suits quite well with the 'whats-wrong-for-being-number-2' question isnt it? Well, at least i think so though.

2. Funeral/Hospital seems to be the very place where people tends to meet up --> how sad.

Man, dun u think that people tend to show their kindness, or maybe love (and i doubt that very much), when someone is dying? You will see a whole bunch of people gathering around the dying bed of a person, trying to show their concern to the dying man. Well, if you really care about that person, why do you show up only when he has got few months or even weeks left to live then? Is it that you feel so guilty that you think that a 10-min-visit will make you feel better when the person is dead? If this is true, my inference of that mindset will be that you really think that a 10-min visit will pay off what you have not done for the past. And instead of trying to bring some joy to the person of which the whole purpose of the visit is supposed to be, you are making yourself feel better. SHALLOW, not to say selfish.

3. Morrie said, 'Death, Love and Marriage are the three things that most men are scared of.'

How true. We are afraid of death because thats the end of our life. There will be separation and if you are fortunate enough, there will be people who will cry for you. We are scared because we are leaving without anything that we have had. Worse, we dun know whats gonna happen after death. As morrie said, people are scared to love and be loved because of the fear of being hurt. Its like if you know there will be divorce at the end of the day, what is the point of marriage in the first place. How pathetic and negative.

4. Morrie said, 'Silence makes people uneasy.'

HAHA! Totally agree. But why? No idea.

Enough said. Time to EAT. My all time fav. HAHAHA.

Job vs Enterprise vs Volunteering

2007-03-18T20:11:00.000Z

Q:
What is the difference between working on a job, running an enterprise, and volunteering?

A:
A job provides for our living expenses. An enterprise is usually established to increase wealth beyond basic needs. An enterprise may force us to compete for fame and profit. Volunteering comes from our willingness to give and serve unconditionally. What we need is the environment that provides us with volunteer opportunities. Service to others is the true goal of life.

I think this suits quite well with what i have been discussing with lil d for the past few weeks..HAHA..amitabha..

WOOHOO~

2006-11-27T19:25:00.000Z

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education:
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Golden Dot(s)

2006-11-08T19:38:00.000Z

attended the ASK class for the very first time this evening and i swear that this will be my first and the very last time that i will ever go for that class..basically, it all started wit the lecturer taking the register..ok..as i have neva attended the class before, obviously the register doesnt have my name in it..so i gotta tell the lecturer my name..she asked, "ur surname?" n i replied, "N-G"..silence for a second, again, she asked, "gimme ur surname.." n again i answered, "N-G..N then G." and with a slightly high pitched voice, she said, "O~~N-G!" (omg, what the hell does that suppose to mean huh)..alrite, so my part is done..after a while, there's another gal wit the surname N-G..n again, the lecturer said, "I have neva heard of the surname NG before!" well, if u were a malaysian, u would know it for god sake..y is it a big deal man..damn..

at long last, the class began (thank god..)..to make the long story short, i will just mention those golden dot moments..there was this one gal..u know the typical lawyer look..yeah..she has it..she said her interest is in sociology n that's y she takes JURISPRUDENCE (for those who hav no idea what this is, basically it is about the PHILOSOPHY OF LAW..n it concerns sth like positivism, activism..well, to cut it straight to the point, it's all crap)..O MAN..HOW ON EARTH CAN A PERSON LIKE JURISPRUDENCE MAN?!?!?! URGH..i wouldnt hav taken that subject if it was not compulsory man..

actually, there are still alotsa golden dot moments and i m just too lazy to mention them all out..hahaha...klah..that's all for now..

my say(s) as of now

2006-11-05T21:13:00.000Z

1. It is GODDAMN HARD to find frens wit the right click (most importantly, it is not only me
who has this thinking, so i m normal..HAHA).

2. To hang around wit so-called 'frens' wit the different channel makes u wanna vomit all the
times. Thats y you wld rather stay at home than to waste ur precious time on them (again,
this is not my personal opinion, i hav some supports as well..so again, i m pretty normal).

3. A leader is a MUST in a gang, esp when most of them hav a hard time in making decisions.

4. Tolerance has its limits.

Moral of the story: To find frens wit the right click is like making the impossible possible, but i m relieved that at least i hav found some..phew~

what do u think? hav a say man..

the devil wears prada

2006-11-02T19:41:00.000Z

watched the devil wears prada last nite n maybe my expectation was too high (cos many told me that it was damn choon), the movie was not as nice as what i had expected..kinda disappointed though...but still, i managed to find my fav quote fr the movie, which goes:

"Fashion is not about utility, it's about iconography, it's about bringing the personality out."

HAHA! luv this quote man..damn true..

life?

2006-10-06T07:41:00.000+01:00

the meaning of life has neva seemed to be my thing until i read minrun's blog on the emptiness of life (which was given a great approval fr lil d..haha!) and on what life actually is..i was thinking of my so-called 'life' these days, only to find that the way i live my life here can hardly be regarded as having a life at all..

well, to make things simpler, let me tell u what i do everyday..just 2 hours before lectures, i wake up + poo + shower + brunch...n while waiting to go to the uni..MSN is the entertainer..alrite..the time has finally come..walk to uni..hav lectures..then walk back home..MSN comes into place again until dinner time..after dinner..next come MSN AGAIN..until sleeping time...n basically the same thing repeat over n over again as days go by...n i hav been doing this for, say, 1 month?

ARGHHHHH..m i wasting my life? u tell me..
