Terrible Mistake - Pity XiaXue

When I read the newspaper today, I was really SHOCKED when I see the Sarong Party Girl issue was posted with XiaXue picture on it... It is really a teerible MISTAKE!

You can see how XiaXue outrage on this mistake.
I was surprise with some of the quotes on some newspaper...
1.定期检查"爱滋病" (Check every 6 months!? I thought she said play safe?)
2.只和白人交往 (What about guyz in Singapore? They were insulted...)
I think the media pass around the same source and the same picture they have.
Pity Xiaxue... Really SiaSui this time...

Sore Throat ah...

Suffering a serious sore throat...
Searching for various medicine that would cure me and relief the pain...

I tried watermelon frost, a few chinese medicine (eg 银翘, 三豆根, 穿心莲 and etc),
then paracetamol to relief the ache...

Those are all not healing me anyway.
Thus I rush out to bought a few packs of Medicated Tea...
After that... really "舒服晒"



Try it if you're in serious sore throat...

Another Holiday Night Feeling Sucks

Life? Sucks.
Don't ask me why.

Holiday? Sucker. (adjective)
I once thought that our life shouldn't meant to be boring...
We never said we're boring when we were kids right? This legend stop at our teenage i guess.
But now i was after teenage... and i found life is not just flooded with boring...
it is empty as well...
悠长的时光，平静无事亦是蹉跎。

During routine, we experienced so much there... that we long for the time to go slower so that we can enjoy our time,
aftertaste our sweet memory, and appreciate what we got...
But we're just so busy... we have no idea why we're so busy...
i wonder...
we're busy because the others are busy
we're busy because someone said 24hr isn't enough
we're busy because our time is packed like the other
we're busy because no one is asking us to stop
we're busy because we afraid to be idle...

afraid to be idle... that we shall dream, we shall muse, we shall ponder, we shall fancy...
and when the day turns night... suddenly...we discovered...
we're all alone...

有一段时期，我毅然把你忘掉。
她来充实了我的空虚，来填满了所有的空缺，使我甚至忘了你。
今早起来，发现你早已来与我相聚为伴。
原来当我忘记孤独时，孤独一直没有把我忘记。

Holiday + Midnight? Suckest!
It is the one that reminds me of lonesome life...

an approximate population of 2 million in KL...
do i feel lonely here?
no doubt.. yes i do...

Yeah... when you start thinking of nonsense... when you start feeling down...
go to sleep...

一天一天过去…一天一天来临…
它们都在我还未来得及回顾及迎接的时候，与我擦身而过…

i wouldn't wish i miss something that i shouldn't...

(ps: if you have no idea what the heck i am trying to say... dun ping me and ask me what i was trying to say... i have nothing to say...)

Honey, Who Shrink My TV?

Huh? Who shrink my TV? why so small one?



I wonder why we're always need to deal with this thing?
I thought this kinda thing should only exist around 1AM to 7AM for those insomniac who have nothing to do during that sleeping interval...
Any now I have my 42 inches TV being "virtually" shrinked into 25 inches... Down 40%!
If your TV set is a random 21 inches and being shrinked... you'll be viewing rahter smaller than a standard 14.1 inches PC Monitor...

Something more serious are those SMS downloading and voting stuffs which are flooding all around us... TV programs or handphone and newspaper and magazines..
And it is not going to stop...
I bet we're really living in an information era but serious spam illness...

We got junk mail from outer space...
We got forwarded messages that "curse" you for not forwarding it...
We got weird sms came inside our handphone inbox...
And we gonna buy bigger TV set since some Channel is shrinking the program...

Ok ok all those are entertainment after all...
I bet you won't be saying after you received your phone bill...

"Upgrading" Your Thumbdrive

I have a Apacer thumbdriver 256MB...
and guess what...
now I have another Apacer thumbdrive 512MB...

How should I settle the old one then?
Sell it? No one would want a second-hand thumbdrive nowdays since the price is so cheap... people rather buy "MP3 Player" than a mere thumbdrive...
Somemore you can see my black 256MB Apacer have a very special body features...
Hmmm.. dun get it? ok i'll tell you... it melted...
But hey... it is still ok to use la...

So.. How to upgrade your 256MB Apacer to a 512MB Apacer?



It's easy...
first... find someone with a 512MB Apacer...

What you really need is a marker pen... a red one of course...
Do some colouring on the black Apacer...
Then "accidently" take the 512MB Apacer...


Can you different between the ori red 512MB Apacer and the fake one?
If you can't... remember to take a look on the cap of the thumbdrive... then you'll know whether you took the wrong one...

I bet you can la.. I just did some careless colouring...

HOWEVER I never agree and sustain cheating...
Quote: 我不是教你诈...
Go buy your own if you want...

Flying Again With Dream Catcher

Do you guyz heard of Dream Catcher (捕梦网) before? I bet you did...

ok .. introduce in brief here...

Dream Catcher:
An ancient Chippewa traditon, believed that each carefully woven web will catch our dreams in the night.
Hung above the cradle board, or in the lodge up high, the bad spirit dreams will get caught in the web and disappear with the morning sun.
While the good spirit dreams will find their way to the center and float down the sacred feather.
Dream Catchers are believed to bless the "sleeping ones" with pleasant dreams, good luck, and harmony throughout their lives.
Of course, this is an ancient legend.
But since dreams will never cease, hang this dream net above, dream on and be at Peace
(Modified Quote)



i doubt why we usually forget our dreams when we woke up...

and i really doubt that we have the similar dream when we're young and naive...

i dreamt of flying...
when i was just a little kid... i flew wildly when i jumped, without the ability to control the height and direction...
when i was then in primary... i flew whenever and everywhere i wanted to...
when i turned teenage... i found out it was hardly to fly... i aint that light anymore... instead i was just gliding slowly from high to low...
and now being a young adults... i have less dreams... and never fly nor float again...



i started long for another beautiful dreams, instead of dreaming doing the norm task everyday... woke up... and do the same task again...

I don't have a dream catcher though... but i'll draw one...:P

没有美梦的睡眠， 会不会就像没有爱情的人生?

Wish you good night... and sweetdreams

Listen to Yourself

Life is noisy sometimes... Everyone is arguing, fighting, yelling...
Nobody wanna listen

but i love it...
i love to listen..

听歌，听故事，听心灵，

听美丽的，听悲戚的，听自己的

孤单，当没有人告诉我，是快乐的时候
孤辟，当没有人告诉我，是珍惜的时候
孤立，当没有人告诉我，是松弛的时候

我在听

听风吹，听浪涛，
虽然奏不了旋律
却轻易让我感动

Power of PetalingStreet.org

Every Wednesday, I always try my best to post my Lomo Attempts...
Hence I always more concern about the traffic that day after I Ping it on petalingstreet.org...

Guess what... You really get more readers when you advertise...

However, although you can make more and more visitors to your site... you rarely get comments...
hehehe... that's what challenging...



Obviously a steep rise followed by a heavy colapse after Wednesday...

Lomo Attempt (7)

Hmmmm... don't have any lomo pics with me again...
But instead browsing online to "serve" out some nice one...
I grab my camera.. walking around my home like an idiot, searching for ideas...

And i found a lock...
Tried a few shots...
Hope no tomatoes throw out of my screen... :P


This is a lock i use to lock the locker in my Uni... they're going to move from Jalan Conlay to dunno what jalan around Semenyih... So i picked it up first...
yup... i have place a little "et" doll that for easy recognize... i get that "et" from those "Egg Machine" which normally cost you 20cents for a small egg or RM1 for a bigger one... and this is from a bigger one...


The lock in front my laptop...


A closer look on the lock.. oh.. what's the colourful stuff below it?
i'm not so sure.. but it is a mat my mom use it to place teapot...


a lock locking a heart...

we know we shouldn't lock ourselves... but we met bad things...
we suffered bad experience, we read bad news, we received bad comments, we hugged the wrong partner...
and thus we locked our heart... built a wall to prevent pain, distress and agony...
but meanwhile we forbid love, happiness and bliss from everyone...

Face your problem! Solve them!
Unlock yourself... before the memory of the code faded away...

Life is interesting when you live it FULL...

:)
