Christmas season

Another great moments to celebrate the most important and joyous festival with my dearest on Christmas eve for Candlelight service and walking around at I-City. On the next day we went to the church for Christmas service then leisure shopping and a Christmas dinner. That's not forgetting the Boxing day after Christmas for gift exchange. We both were truly enjoyed and thank God for the holidays that was given to us.

Boxing Day... so enjoy ~~

Our little 'moniversary'

We went to Alexis for dinner and to celebrate our sweet 'moniversary' earlier. I thought it should have the live jazz performance but was told the show is only performed in weekend. Just too bad but anyway, we enjoyed the ambiance much and not forgetting the food (cabonara & pizza) with the Italian and Argentinian house wines.

Most importantly, Elyse was happy and overwhelmed by surprise with the lovely roses i sent on that day... hehe... love ya sweetheart ~~

Why I Love You

My sweetheart sent me a lovely poem while i was in the midst of work. It was so lovely and feeling warm inside as i was reading to it, and i just couldn't help it, read it over and over again... together with my reply in red... love ya, sweetheart  ;-)

<< Why I Love You >>

You give me warmth 
When it is cold 

With You I want 
To grow old  

(My warmness hug hug for u is priceless and hugging you forever without end.)

You give me strength 
To carry on 
And when I am weak 
You show me how to move on 

(I won't let you fall when u're down and walking together to face and resolve any difficulties if there is.)

You dry my tears 
With Your amazing love 
It must be true 
You are sent from above 

(I'm your guardian angel for comfort whenever u're feeling pain and depress, and I also thank God for bringing you into my world sharing the joy together.)

You ease my pain 
You disperse gray clouds 
You show me 
What love is about 

(I'm just not as perfect as God but I'll do my best i could to be a better man and take good care of you.)

    

You find a way to make me smile 
Even if we are apart 
There's something I can surely say: 
My love for You comes straight from the heart 

(Well, it might be the 'power of Hercules' perhaps (how stylish huh :-p)... to make you smile and laugh but not to cry.)  

You must not forget 
That I love YOU 

(I will always love you... always do, always have.)

My heart is Yours and will always be I pray the day comes when we say: “I do” 

(Like the scripts are printed on church hymnal that i shown you earlier, prayed that we will read that in one fine day - "I do"..."I will".)

These words I wrote 
To complete my vow: 
My love for You will always grow 

(With all my heart and soul, i give my love to have and hold and far as i can see, u're always meant to be... my destiny.)

Joyful moments

That's what we did and where we have gone to after a great loving month... Melacca trip, bowling tournament, 101010 Fun Run and Subak restaurant for our anniversary and it will be more photos to come in our loving days ahead ~~

Our first trip - Malacca

That's our first and memorable trip in Malacca ~ We had a good times there during Malaysia Day long weekend holiday as we drove down and walked around the town for local yummy food, picture taking, shopping, bowling and sights-seeing from day break till night fall. Well, that's also my first time ever trying out many local food (other than satay celup and chicken rice ball), such like pork satay, beef noodle, popiah with 'chi yau jar', nonya stuffs and more... that i never been doing that whenever i was in Malacca many times before.

Thanks to my little sweetheart brought me around as we jalan-jalan around the town till midnight hours... arrrr.. so nice ^^  We had our moments there and were truly enjoyed this short trip ~~

默契是一种感应

默契实是一种感应，是内心深处一种最好的约定，不必用言语传递就能够表达心迹，不需要用心来指引也能够相互会意。我认为和谐的自然是默契之根，有了自然的和谐才有了相互的默契。因此我想，两个生物，两个性别，两种个性，两种经历，绝不是只靠一个有幸的缘分，一点共同的兴趣就能达到永久的和谐与默契的。

默契的前提是和谐，而和谐的前提是理解，和谐与默契的实现都要靠悟性，都要靠心灵的吻接。知心朋友若没有相互的理解，就没有最好的沟通，若没有很高的悟性和必要的付出，也就感受不到那种特有的和谐与默契。

在体育界的角度，不管是排球、足球还是篮球，所有保持胜利的球队，无一不是来自于队员们相互间的默契配合。同样的，生活中的甜蜜情人和相互依恋的美满夫妻，他们的默契，也绝不是与生而来和一成不变的。所有的默契都需要有双方的主动适应与磨合，需要共同的精心培育和习惯养成。还有两个人相信彼此才可以的，如果彼此都不相信彼此，有默契也没用。

默契是培养出来的，需要时间的培养。只要有共同的心灵感应，有相互间的理解与宽容，有经常的切磋、沟通与磨砺，就能取得最佳的快乐效应。

分开

最近我有个朋友显得有点失落很不开心，是应为和他住在一起的女友已经到国外工作了，而且还要去至少两年。之前，他们为了这件事已经吵了好几遍，男的当然不想也舍不得她去那么远，女的就想到国外闯一闯实现她的梦想。两年的时间，虽然说长不长说短也不短，可能是对他的一种暂时性的分开考验，看看彼此是否能够维持到最后吧。

两年的时间分开对我来讲已经是太长了，而且有很多东西可能会因此改变，变好或变坏谁都不会知道。但我相信，如果拥有了一些就会失去了一些，凡事有得必有失。

My new toy - Samsung Galaxy-S

Finally I have decided to go for Galaxy-S after earlier comparison with HTC Desire even though both units in terms of features are almost the same. The differences are lower battery consumption (2x lower); longer standby/talk time (2x longer); embedded 16GB memory; Amoled touchscreen with 4inch wide display that is more than enough reasons to go for and i believed it is the biggest touchscreen display ever have in the Android smartphone market currently. It is light (119g) and handy while holding it in my palm too.

That's lot of interesting apps/tools are mostly are practical and applied to my daily use. It toke me almost crazy over night to explore it inside out while played around the useful apps, just trying to get myself familiarize in a short period. The package is price is RM1699 and i just signed up the lowest voice plan (RM50/mth) and data plan (RM48/mth) for starting before upgrade it if it's necessary in future, just because Maxis don't allowed for downgrade but upgrade the plan only... 

($@#%^&*&^%$!...) and i just have canceled the company's stupid corporate plan for 2 years (6 months remaining) without need to pay penalty charges as long as the contract  fulfilled minimum 18 months requirement  

Moreover, Android ver2.2 will be released somewhere next month and i can upgrade it for free from the current version 2.1 without hassle. Android o/s phone will overtake Windows mobile sooner or later in the mobile phone market, and I have no regret to go for Android phone in the latest o/s phone technology which is much more better than Windows o/s based phone. 


** This phone is really caught attention to most of my colleagues and friends while i'm holding it in my palm for as i noticed that sometimes ... perhaps it's still new for now ~~  :-)

  

Skytrex canopy walk

It was nice to be back to Bukit Cerakah in Shah Alam again for canopy walk last weekend. As i could remember, i was there once many years ago for hiking trip and the Skytrex-Adventure is not there yet. Waking up in the early morning was bit terrible as i was only slept for 4 hours after Bon Odori event but somehow i managed to reach there at 8am morning as scheduled. 

I still enjoyed with the walks with many different kind of mid level challenging walk at 21m (about 70 feet) height from the ground though i did that at extreme level few times in somewhere. It was good to be there, good to enjoyed myself and captured some nice shots and it was also glad to see someone just wanted me to sing her a song before she could jumped-off from a tree platform to another each time... :-)  

Bon Odori Festival

It was a same old things with super crowd nearly 40,000 people were gathered at the Panasonic stadium last weekend for the Japanese ghost event. Needless to say parking was the most headache issue because of traffic jam surrounding areas and i got to parked my car far away from the stadium about 10 minutes walk. Well, still not too bad to have big  sausages and Asahi beer for light dinner before the culture dance show was begun at about 6.30pm.

The crowd was celebrating crazily and having fun dancing around the stage when some traditional Japanese music was started to play. I was trying to get some good angle for 'shooting' especially at the VIP but no luck as i couldn't find a way to 'snake-in' because of security reason. Anyway, still manage to get some pictures there somehow and also met some friends there for fun.

That's it for South Africa World Cup 2010

Spain is now the world champion for the first time after they won European cup two years ago. No doubt, they are truly deserved to be a world champion with their outstanding 'Galatico' performance and got the last laugh finally. Frankly, I don't have much feeling while they were celebrating madly and lifting the cup sky high. How disappointed to see my supporting teams (Argentina & Holland) were defeated one by one... that bloody octopus - 'Ah Paul' must be get fried one day !!

From i saw, there's almost 300 Spain & Holland fans were gathered up at mamak store for live watching. Noises of madly shouting and also that irritating Vuvuzela trumpet sound was buzzed for whole night when the match was kick-off. It was a long night and feeling tired but have no regret spending time watching the finale with friends till early at about 5:30am morning. Imagine how exciting to catch this football event once in four years. Hopefully it will be the same again for the next world cup in Brazil and not only just watching it with friends but also have it somewhere with someone if we could meet-up along the way.

World Cup is finally over and things are now back to normal just as before. It's 'resting month' for football fans indeed before new season of all football leagues in Europe are begins in mid of August... and i got to rest too. Wishing Manchester United will have the flying start in the new season.

World Cup syndrome

It's getting to a month since World Cup was started in the mid of June, sooner it is coming to finale this weekend and i might have a good night rest again after spending precious times and energy watching it outside with friends in the middle of the night sometimes and at home as well. Although it is pretty tiring when watching it back to back continuously, especially when those big favorite teams matches were happened scheduled at same time frame...real jialat ! Sometimes i think whether it's worth chase-watching crazily for all the live matches. Surely the answer is NO, and i have been watching just only half of the 64 live matches, which is 32 matches so far... not too bad, still at the average level of watching rate i think.. :-)

There's too much of upset match results were happened in group stage round, especially  big favorite teams like France, Italy, England and Portugal were all failed to shine, got defeated and knocked out. With that, it was already enough to make them toke early flight home in shame. Perhaps it's even  made me like to see upset results, probably because i never gamble and didn't bet for any matches but just enjoy watching. Good that my supporting team - Argentina & Holland, were strong and steady in the beginning but somehow Argentina was terribly knocked by the Germans in quarter-finals recently. Now my hope is banking on Holland and hopefully they will through the final by sending Uruguay back home in semi-final later on, and lift the World Cup trophy on coming Sunday.   

Well, surely will not miss for both semi-finals and the grand finale matches in this coming week. All the best to the Netherlands-Holland-Oranje... let's 'Holland style' all the way ! ~~

Belated birthday night

Although it was few days late to celebrate but it's still fine to have a simple gathering. Apart from meals, i think we had about 12 jugs with another 2 towers of beer and a bottle of red wine, and not forgetting the flame drinking... that was almost killing me. I was really glad that all my buddies and friends were there for my belated birthday and watching World Cup live. Unfortunately, my car was scratched twice while driving back before i reached home safely...
