Don't worry be happy =)

Are you complaining about your life?

Your life sucks?

Watch this. And you will cherish your life more.



Inspired? I cried when I watched this video.

When someone who doesn't have limbs can face life so optimistically, who are you to complain?


This guy called Nicholas Vujicic was born without arms and legs.

People look at him differently. And he got bullied when he was young. He tried to commit suicide when he was 8 but luckily didn't. It was a key turning point in his life when his mum showed him a newspaper article about a man dealing with severe disability. He was then deeply motivated. After that he became optimistic and he even started to give inspirational speech when he was only 17!

He graduated from college at the age of 21 with a double major in Accounting and Financial Planning. After that he began traveling as a motivational speaker.

If he can deal with his life and the one-kind perceptions from people around him, why can't we?

So, like what the song tells us:


Don't worry, be happy!

Lamed

Friday will be my Korean exam.

Damn stressed now! Haven't really do revision on everything.

The scribbles are all scattered here and there in my exercise books and some rough papers.

I need to compile them together into a notebook specifically for my Korean study which I'm yet to buy. lol. So kelam and so kabut.

Nevermind, I'll compile it nicely after the exam so that I can get ready for the next level: Beginner 2, which begins in 11 August which is way too early for me to save money, which also means that I'll be really busy during weekday nights again.

My new intern student, HanChong, is a very lame guy. He always says something lame silently and calmly which we normally ignored at first but when recalled few seconds later it silents or freeze us later. Sometimes it's quite funny it cracks us up.

And then we would look like one of these emoticons:



Yesterday I looked at my watch and exclaimed "啊呀!我的手表花了!" He said "戴老花眼镜就看到了咯" (Sorry, no translation coz it only sounds funny when it's in Chinese)

Ronald started to laugh like this:


And then I was frozen:


And Cheng Yee was speechless:



Oh by the way, I just realized that different places have different expressions when being struck by a lame joke:

Manglish: Sweat, kek dao, ketionks etc
Malaysian Chinese: 炸到, 冷, 用肺讲话 etc
China folks: 被雷到

I dunno about English one. Can it be: Lamed? Frozen?

Another busy weekend

Last Friday night was a packed one. Korean class at SS15 till 9pm, then meeting with Raleigh recce team at Bangsar Mc Donald's at 9.30pm, then right after the meeting a surprise birthday party for our Raleigh president, Vincent, at Gabai Waterfall.

I dragged myself home very 'early' the next day.

Woke up at 8am the next day for badminton appointment with my fellow colleagues at Menjalara, Kepong. I just played for less than 1 hour my engine died. lol. My limbs were like cotton candy. lol.

Actually the main reason I went to this badminton thing was for the food my colleague promised me. Hehe. She told me the food at the cake house there are very nice. And it's the main reason I write this entry too. Keke.. Coz the food were indeed very nice!


The cake house's name is De Pastry Chef


It's so famous that many celebrities came to visit the pastry


Not only the meals were tasty, there were different types of attractive cakes displayed too.

These were the food we ordered:

Fettuccine Al Funghi. I love! Taste very Italian. =) This is how a pasta should taste like! Yum! It had a spice aroma which I could not name.


Chicken chop. Ok la.. Like normal chicken chop lo.


Tomyam meehoon. The tomyam lacked the aroma of serai and daun limau purut. But still consider ok ok la.


Mango smooties I ordered. Nice!


The drinks my colleagues ordered. Dun remember the names. I only remember the middle one was melon+honey coz I wanted to order this. =P


My supervisor, Toh Theng.


Yenny

After the meal we went to visit Cheng Yee's parents at their coffee shop near the Pasar Kepong. Chit chat a while then went back. I K.O. in Toh Theng's car during the journey back to Sunway and continued to sleep when I reached home. This was the longest sleep I had in my conscious life. I slept from 3.30pm till Sunday morning 7.30am! o.O Feel very very refreshed the next morning. Actually I still feel refreshed now. lol.

Sunday was another busy day running here and there. But I was recharged so I didn't even feel a tiny tinge of tiredness. =)



I'm refreshed. Are you? =)

Admiring Zee Avi

Few days ago I received a song from Zhuang called "Bitter Heart" by Zee Avi.

I didn't have the chance to listen to it coz my PC have been giving me problem when opening softwares to play videos or audio. It will lag.

Just now finally I had the chance to uninstall some of the unnecessary programs and then played the song. When I first heard it from my PC, I knew right away that this is the song I have been humming when I was cooking my dinner just now. I heard this song from the radio station and love the happy tune of the song.



Since it's so nice I decided to share it at my blog. I went to youtube to look for this song and a Malay-like girl shown up in the videos. I was wondering where this singer come from.

I was shocked when I found that she's from Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia!

I'm so touched that a Malaysian singer can come up with Norah Jones type of song and gain fame in the US.


P/S: Zhuang I love this song! Thanks for sending it to me! But too bad the song cut off halfway. =(

Eason is coming to town!

Eason Chan is coming to Sunway!

OMG OMG OMG!

I've been telling myself that I wanna listen him singing live if I have the chance to. The death of Michael Jackson gave me a lesson that "Don't hesitate if you really like the singer".

Eason's a great singer. I started to notice Eason Chan after I heard his 幸福摩天轮.


After that his 明年今日 attracted me. I was actually attracted by one of the sentence 人总需要勇敢生存 which I think it's very motivating.

Then one more song I really like is "Aren't you glad"! It's his first English song. It's written by a white man But too bad Malaysia cannot view the MV due to copyright restriction. =(

Some other songs which are nice are 兄妹, 浮夸, K歌之王, 不如这样, Shall We Talk, and his very new hits 七百年后.

Awww! I really wanna go to his concert coming up next month. =( But very kelian. Nobody is interested except the intern student, Ronald, in my lab. Sigh.. Maybe ask him whether I can tag along. Or maybe I just go there alone la since its just nearby (at Sunway surf beach).
