Hello - Lionel Richie

Sometimes, I just think that, how lovely this song can be, and how, it can suit my, feelings...

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, and my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...

~music~

长情，还是笨？

今天，是我没看到妳，的第155天了。天啊！若要看到妳，都恐怕得等到九月开学的时候吧....

这一百五十五天，还真不容易过。有些天，摆满了活动，想妳，都只是在一起身的那一刻，和还没入眠的那一刻。

但大多数的天，一无所事事，很自然的，妳就会自然的出现在我脑海里。而且是一直不断地在那儿徘徊着。所以我得承认。想妳，还真的很幸苦！

但幸苦到来，我会觉得很高兴。不是在暗爽（LOL!)。而是，能够真正地喜欢一个人，不简单。能够无条件，无要求地慢慢地等。我既然做到。所以，觉得自己，很有成就感一下leh!

我也不知道，在等什么。等妳say yes，还是等机会来临，还是等这份感情淡掉。那我当然希望的是机会的到来吧～！

未来是如何，谁都不请。但能够为未来筹备，那再也好不过了。我，已把我接下来的两年时间，赌在妳身上了，小姐。

天啊！我怎么，那么长情（笨）啊？

Of You

I just want you to know that,

Love makes even a guy like me lachrymose

Obsession when it comes, in its max and most

Vacant it is not, this heart of mine

Ever longing and waiting for you to find.

You’d probably don’t know how strong it feels

Only to have you in my mind, for real

Upon the wake to my day, till the dreams of my night.

The dreams of you can’t be sweeter

Even if it’s about me and you together

Only making it real would it matter,

Holding back on it, would bring my heart to tatters.

How to let go the reason of them all

Understand that, you're what I will give my all

It is you who will shape me; either I stand or fall.

Just a small crush I say, would be lying

In my heart I know, you’re my everything

Ubiquitous you are, in my heart and mind

No “you” in my life, will make me a blind…

Reasons Why McDonalds beat KFC - A noob's point of view

Okay, to clear things up, I would say I probably got "infected" or "converted" after working at Macfood. Even previously, if I were to choose, I would have chosen KFC. I didn't knew what the fuss was about with people going gaga over McD.

But as I have delved deeper into understanding the way McD runs it's business, you can't help but to be amazed on what McDonald's have achieved all this year. I'm no professional analysis, but here are a few points that I have highlighted out as personal experiences, that justify why, the restaurant with the Golden M, reigns supreme.

First and foremost, good business and marketing strategy. McDonald's is the first one to come up with McValue lunch. Selling at a price almost half than the usual, this move almost triple the turnover if I'm not mistaken. Then you have other fast food chain also following in. You can't deny that McDonald's actually have the guts to take the risk by becoming the pioneers of offering cheap and fast lunch.

Secondly, catering the people's choice and taste. It is undeniable that there are more McD fans than KFC fans. Reason? There are actually more KFC outlets in Malaysia than McDonald's. To be precise, KFC owns almost twice the amount of outlets than McDonalds (445 versus 220). And yet, you have McDonald's scooping up the best restaurant 2nd time in the row this year (2011) and with a higher turnover than KFC. Amazing? McDonald's surely owe we people a lot!

Thirdly, doing what they are best at - fast food! McD are known to serve their customers fast and efficiently. The most you need to wait during normal time would be around 3 minutes. Every food is sorted and compartmentalized so that it eases the waiters. Fact that most people don't know: the Mcdonald's kitchen is carefully measured and engineered to ensure the least movement around the speed up human capabilities. I don't know about KFC, but if I were to think back, I think that I've waited a lot more longer at KFC's

Forth, smart and planned service. Notice that whenever your McD's order is taken, you are needed to wait beside the counter to allow the person behind you to take his or her order. By that time you're waiting, you have already paid for your food. Unlike KFC, after taking your order, the cashier would be the one personally serving the food, dealing with one customer at a time rather than multi-tasking compared to McDonald's. Customers are thus more prone to be impatient. I don't know whether KFC have adopted this same approach like McDonald's since it was quite a while I have been to KFC. But if they haven't consider this as another point added to McD.

Fifth, but not last, serving what you put on your menu. Never have I ordered something and being told that there is no stock at McD. And neither did I have to be told that you need to wait for half an hour. Yes. I am directing this "accuse" to KFC, especially the breakfast. Till now, I never have the chance to really have KFC's morning breakfast. Everytime I go in and ask I would get the same response. Either there is no stock, or I'll have to wait for half an hour. LMAO! Half an hour? I could have finish eating mee jawa or nasi lemak by that time! Not that I don't make an initiative, but the thing is when you make one, you are not even given the choice.

Note that this post was done without much analysis and more to personal experiences. I might be biased, but hey ask yourself. When do you actually see an offer or promotion that you need to open your eyes bigger and can't believe what is offered? And for those who are always on facebook, tell me when, have you actually see KFC's promotion being supported like mad?

Food for thought...

*This post is not meant to dis-honour any fast food restaurants. This is only the preference and experience of a food lover, who may be biased. Hopefully the words and terms I use are not of offensive and degrading. KFC is good, but you're just not that good compared to McD. Sorry...

二十一岁的最后一天。My last day as a 21 year old

坦白说，我很害怕长大，害怕变老。我并不像一些人，来到了二十岁，背上的翅膀硬了，一些甚至开始飞了。我还站在悬崖边，缺乏勇气往前涌。

但无论如何，人终会老。时间不停的溜走。地球不停地公转自转。没办法。

如今的我，位于Subang Jaya SS 13 的Macfood Services(M) Sdn Bhd 实习着。也算是踏入社会的第一步。

每次吃午餐的时候，都会看到上班族穿着整齐的西装，到饭店用餐。我羡慕的，不是他们的豪华车，也不是他们整齐的衣裤。

我羡慕的是，他们如何能够，重复一天又一天的工作生活。一直到五十六十岁左右，才来退休，享受生活。

或许身为白羊座的我，会再次显示出我不耐性的一面。但在想象以后的我，若我真的有了一个家庭，就算工作多烦恼，多压力，能够在放工后回到家，看到自己心爱的家庭，有着一餐温馨的晚餐等着我。这，已足够的给与我勇气，来面对每一天的挑战。

能够和另一半过着柴米油盐酱醋茶的生活，已经是上天赐予足够幸福了。我不想要多。

因为，遥远人生的道路，会越走越孤单。无论如何，总该有个伴。

也不知道，为什么会这样想。或许，我真的喜欢上妳了吧。无可救药了吧？

或许，这个是自己要面对现实的未来而想像的情景。可能是不要再让自己沉迷在小孩子的美梦里。

或许，是时候，飞了吧？

或许，让我能够有勇气地飞的原因，就是，妳？





With you right here, I'm a rocketeer~!!!

Earth Hour 2011

It's another Earth Hour day. Unlike the last one last year, which I blog about it here, I actually went through it. But I still stand still to the point.

This year however, I'm gonna go a bit more detailed. Like narrowing the crossfire to something more detailed.

Saving one hour of electricity, is nothing, especially when you are using air conditioner and water heater all the time.

Now when questioned on the world's greatest invention of all time, especially those rich aunties or uncles, no doubt they will answer: AIR CONDITIONER. In fact, the reason they give is it cools the house or room.

Yes it does cool. But how? Did you ever wonder? If you're a kid, you'd probably think that it creates and releases cool air to the room, and you'll be like standing under it to feel the cool breeze (that was what I did when I was small).

Law of Conservation of Energy- Energy can neither be generated nor destroyed. It can only change from one phase or type to another. It can also be transferred if there is a delta or difference between two medium that comes in contact.

In lay man terms, your god damn air cond does not "make" your room cold. It simply transfers the heat in your room to another place, a.k.a. the environment, until there is so little heat left in your room that you feel cold! If an air cond can really "make" a place cold, I suggest that the government or WWF to build a humongous air conditioner, to make global warming an issue of the past, a history to be forgotten.

That's why for me, switching on an air conditioner is the worst sin I could ever have committed. I am proud to say that, I have NEVER SWITCHED ON the air conditioner MYSELF for a long long time(more than 1 year). I rather switched on my fan at a higher speed. At least I know, I am suffering together with Mother Earth. I won't let her take the heat ALL BY HERSELF!

You see, the fact is that, most people still aren't educated, in the sense of really caring for the world. In this world, you can never deny that money ALWAYS come first. It is always getting the newest Iphones, Ipads, and other gizmo techs and stuffs. Note that there is only "I". Screw the world. Screw Mother Nature.

Human have been too dependent to science and technology, that we somehow have forgotten that our ancestors, once lived in jungles, hunted like animals to survive.

Now, once you're born to this world, anywhere apart the rural and poor areas, you're destined to survive. You don't need to run away from lions or dinosaurs like cavemen of the stone age. You don't need to hunt for meat or pluck fruits from the trees. You have markets, supermarkets and McDonald's for Christ sake! You don't even need to cook your own food! You don't need to walk or migrate when the soil is not fertile for crop growing anymore. And heck again, you don't even grow crops or plant a turf of grass!

And when you think the world's giving you too much, you commit suicide. Heck! Have you ever seen a wild animal commit suicide? I don't think so. How can we humans, become so weak?

And once again, you think that switching your lights off for one hour is so damn noble, think again. It makes things worse when you play with candles. OMG... Can you for once, sit down and enjoy the night, with only the moon and stars as your light?

*sorry for being offending in this post. I know some of you did played with candles or other things. What is done is done. You can act noble again for one more hour by doing nothing, or you can actually try to change thoroughly, starting by banning... Air Conditioners!!!!

LMAO~!!

I Dreamed a Dream

If this question were to pop out:"What is your dream?" or:"Where do you see yourself in the next 3 or 4 years?" I'll have to honestly say I don't have an effing clue. Yeah, it's true.

But if it is about my final year at USM, I roughly got everything figured out. My Plan A, Plan B, C and so on. (To tell the truth, the plans stop at C LOL!). It was very difficult, pondering over a future that I am so unsure and uncertain, like the black skies at night, full with velvet clouds, where you can't even catch a glimpse of the stars, nor see the face of the moon. It's like a muddy puddle of water.

Not that I do not have something I wish in my mind currently. Things are quite complicated if I were to go into it straight away. I need a prologue.

I am a stubborn person. Actually, strong willed would be a better word. Stubborn makes me defiant when I'm wrong, which is most of the time untrue. Strong willed. Yeah, that's the word.

When I want something, most of the time, I try my best to get it. But there are times too, where I set lofty targets which are so damn impossible and beyond my limits, that when I don't achieve them, I'll give myself an effing consolation or reason to pamper myself.

But yeah then again, most of the time, I'm strong willed. Quite. If you don't know me, then let it be known, that to become a doctor was something like a trademark for me. I felt like I was born to live a life of a doctor. I wasn't scared of blood and injections when I'm supposed to be at my age. My dad is a respectable doctor, an mentor. That dream was set when I was just a small boy. Even my primary school teachers know that. That a boy will someday make his dad proud, by joining ranks with him. A king in the making for a king.

Not that I went around boasting to everyone, nor was it the destiny my parents were trying to write into my future. Everyone just acknowledged that a doctor's son was surely to become a doctor. Not that I mind. But subconsciously, it seems like everyone at your hometown that you know, is waiting just to listen to the news, that the son of a doctor finally DID took up his father's footsteps.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as they are planned. I failed my dream. The dream that was there in my head since I was a small kid. The dream that when ever everybody asked me what was it, I would so proudly say it out, if not yell it out. The time comes when I know I can never yell out such an answer. I flunked my precious Matriculation Program, the Golden Ticket to realizing my dream.

My mind was in tatters. How can you accept that the dream you dream, is nothing but a dream? Confusion and blindness took me. I still questioned the choice of the degree I applied on till this very day. A Plan B I haven't even thought about. I got the chance to live back the life I SHOULD HAVE halfway during the 1st year 1st semester. I was on verge of quitting my current degree to pursue my dream in a private college. But somehow, I made a funny decision to stick to this course, and never looked back. Manly tears burst from my eyes. I was this close of quitting my current course.

Yes I still question the degree I'm still taking and haven't even graduated. But I have since put down that dream of mine, that dream of a small kid. I knew that dream was real enough to be reality (I dream of it every single day!), while most students studying medicine right now, applied mostly for the honours and prospect it offers, and of course of the fulfillment of the grades they've acquired.

Not to say that I'm a sour grape who looks down on at medicine students, but hey, this is the truth. If you have RM1 million to spend for one day, and at the end of the day, you're required to give back the balance you haven't spend, surely everyone would've spent every single cent of it. Why let such a good result go to waste, when you can be the hottest prospect?

Yes, current medicine students would mostly be better doctors than me, even had I have venture into medicine. But when it comes to the passion, the dream I had and the truth it holds, they would still lose out to me. At least I know when I want to save or help someone, my conscience is crystal clear. That was my dream. It isn't now. But it hasn't change my personality of willing to put myself into the deepest shit, to help those that I deem really require them.

Letting up a dream doesn't guarantee you to find a replacement. I'm too old to dream anymore. I prefer setting targets and achieving them. What for dream, when you don't give a damn of it becoming a reality?

Maybe I have mellow down, maybe I became more of a realist rather than an optimist. Failure does impart your confidence. But they also give you valuable lessons that none can teach.

My dream? I wish I had it now in my head. It's not a solid one. Rather it's like how I should live my life, what I should do...

If I really were to become someone's else girlfriend, my life would all be about her. She would be the number one priority. Forget about further studying. There is a future family that I have to feed. Even if it were to be working in Hell, I would gladly take up the job and work my ass off.

If I were to be cursed to solitary my entire life, then there is plenty time for me to think yet. Current situation seems to be heading this way rather than the one I mentioned, making this my Plan A. But if I were to choose, I'd wish Plan B up there were to happen.

You can plan all you like, you can try all you like, but things don't always turn up the way you like. So in conclusion, it's better to have contrasting dreams so that you won't end up like me in the first place. LMAO!

到头来，我并没有再为自己找了另一个梦想，只是对残酷的现实期望着和拼命地奋斗着，一个我想要的未来...
