Till then,

Thanks for everyone's support, especially my dear and Jane. : )

The Addictive Hand Held Console!

Which Console would be really addictive?

The PSP?

OR

The Nintendo DS?

Perhaps a friend of mine, Ean Chan may lend a helping hand .. after all, he is a collector of consoles.

Note: Image is on an exaggeration basis. Please do not find him for these consoles.

But then again, because he IS a collector, he might not pick sides . .

Well, how it all started was when my girlfriend bought her Nintendo DS. And at the same time, Anderson bought this PSP too.

Of course, my hands were constantly on the Nintendo DS whenever my girlfriend comes over .. yeah not a good thing.

Comprehend my emotions! Gamers, I plea for your support!

I was browsing through her R4 ... and then, I saw it :



As a supporter since Final Fantasy 7, man this game really bring back memories. The classic turn basis style, cute characters, quest to complete, training your character's level and last but not least, the Chocobos!

Adorable as always.

Here is a short video of how the game play is :-

Couldn't find the English version of this demo.

Yet, the defendant has the famous Final Fantasy 7 : Crisis Core.

With super cool characters . .


Here is a TVC for the Crisis Core on television :-



Conclusion is, I'm convinced in getting a DS still. After all, if I get a PSP, i can't link mine with my girlfriend, so that'll be a problem. Perhaps, someone can convince me to think otherwise?

I fully comprehend there are a lot more areas I can touch on these 2 consoles, but just in case I might bore certain audience, I rather keep it short for now.

Thanks for your time.

God bless, cheers.

Gossip can break the strongest bond . .

Proverbs 16:28 A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.

How true, if you really take a good thought about it.


Sadly, many don't.


The problem with gossipers is that they do not comprehend the definition of gossip.


Gossip -noun
:idle talk or rumor, esp. about the personal or private affairs of others.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gossip


That is a very general definition of gossip.


The main issue with gossiping is that it meddles with - Trust.
And Trust is a vital criteria in every single friendship.


Allow me to present my thoughts and perspectives.


These are the few factors why one would want to gossip :

• "If it covers my weakness by presenting his/her weakness, why not?"

• "I need the attention, desperately."

• "This is what I do best, an "information" provider."

• "I have malicious intentions in dealing severe damage towards the person's reputation."

• "If everyone else is doing it, why can't I?"

There are many other factors to it as well, but I hope you roughly get the picture.
Most of these factors are trying to convey one simple message which is - self centeredness.

What they don't realize is, by doing such a simple act, it leads to a vicious cycle.

http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/46/19/23211946.jpg

Allow me to elaborate.

Assuming, there are 5 people involved in this scenario,
Kenny, George, Edward, Sally and Angelica.*
* Names are for illustration purpose only.

It's their first day at work. They just met each other, shaking hands and all except for Edward.

A really timid and shy man, he tends to stay away from the crowd.

However, interestingly enough, whenever he glance at someone, he tends to present a snobbish outlook. Yet, only George knew about the real truth, that Edward did not intend to stay away from them just because he thinks he's too good for them or anything similar to that idea.

Edward was just feeling shy.

Angelica saw this gleaming opportunity. The opportunity to gossip.

She also knew that her lack of participation in projects are beginning to be noticed.

The others haven't really got to know Edward yet, and before that event took place, Angelica already took the first strike.

"Guys, have you heard about Edward's previous profiles? It's unbelievable for the company to hire someone like him!"

"What you've heard Angelica?"

"Horrible anger management, many failed projects, poor attendance .. the list is really long!"

"And trust me, after working for 10 years, there's no way I can get this mistaken. Just becareful when you're working with him. If possible, request to work with someone else!"

George heard the gossip, confronted Angelica and questioned her act. He thinks that the matter must be clarified.

Angelica was familiar with these sort of individuals, after gossiping for countless years.

She twist and turn the story, confusing George's mind to be convinced with her words. George then decides to remain silent and ignore the matter.

Soon enough, Edward was isolated for something that wasn't true to begin with. His profile was clean and was transfered over to this company for a better salary.

He's not aware that Angelica was behind all this and even spread good impressions of her towards people he just met with although he doesn't really know her well yet.

As time passed by, Sally and Kenny realized that Edward was constantly performing and never came late to duty unless for exceptional occasions. They raised their eyebrows toward Angelica's earlier comments.

Angelica quickly formed a backup plan as she want things to continue the way she wants it.

"A fantastic actor isn't he? Trust me, it's just a matter of time before he actually shows it. But it's best that you stay away from him."

Edward was really lost, unsure of why the other workmates are isolating him and started to become depressed. Socially deprived at work as well as at home.

Slowly but surely, his performance at work was affected and due to his sleepless nights, he was late for work, on a consistent basis.

George still knew the truth and also knew what was going on all along after doing some investigation. He hinted the others about Edward and told them to try giving him a chance.

Alright. Full stop here for the short story.

I'm not sure how applicable this scenario is to you, but in this scenario, there are few things to consider :-

For Kenny and Sally :

• Is it really that difficult to investigate the truth on their own? Instead of relying and being dependent on someone else instead of themselves? How credible can someone else be more than yourself?
• Being comfortable with things are, having someone else as a victim, they prefer to stay in the shadows. Problem is, if Angelica can be so bold to protect herself, why can't she do the same towards them when it comes to dealing with the boss?

For George :

• Knowing the truth has a burden on his back. If he chooses to ignore or take the matter lightly, how is Edward ever going to trust him if he discovers the truth?
• Angelica would also seize that point, prepare it for emergency occasions to keep her on a secured zone. Not going to help George at all, won't it?

For Angelica :

• She thinks that she's in the best position in the world. In my opinion? Far from it. To actually step into her shoes would be unimaginable. The fact that she cultivated the habit to gossip, the entire office becomes an award winning drama. Who's who? The thing is, no one dares to pour out their true colours as they fear to be gossiped, rather, always seeking the opportunity to attack another. Ironic as it is, no one trust no one.
• What's worse, because Angelica was the director and producer as well as the main actress of the drama, she lost her entire identity, only to realize that she doesn't know who she is anymore. Putting more and more lies and acts in front of others only to "survive" another day.

http://www.freedomlab.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/trust.jpg

Finally, for Edward :

• Continue to be who you are. It's true that the life we live in is truly unfair. The more you try to justify, the more you are accused. But it's only unfair if you live your entire life without acknowledging God's existence.
  
• God is still the final judge.

Psalms 101:5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him will I put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, him will I not endure.

The remedy to this deadly poison?

Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

True enough, if you want to bring up a matter to someone, make certain of what's your purpose of doing so.

Is it to aid the person in covering his weakness and improve himself? To discuss with others on how to help this someone so that it benefits everyone?

Or,

Is it because you just despise this person and the way he did things, and you had to make sure that you look good?

Instead of focusing on gossiping, why not complimenting?

The Bible offer great truths and strength, which explains the eternal joy that remains in my soul. If Edward isn't a Christian, it is only normal for him to morph into a monster.

Forgive me, if this post seems to take a rather serious and personal tone. But I strongly believe that this topic shouldn't be left neglected. Many innocent victims don't deserved to be treated that way, that includes the gossiper him/herself.

On the other hand,

Thank you for your time.

God bless, Cheers.

Post under construction . .

Do stay tune for the following post as it's under construction and sufficient research is required.


I'm also stalling time to gain enough attention for the following post as I believe it's applicable to everyone and it can aid to build strong relationships with others.


At the mean time, be entertained by the world renowned ventriloquist, Jeff Dunham with his "terrorist", Achmed. :)



Note : His videos has vulgar language content, so watch at your own risk.

IPC uncle, you're the best!

It has been almost half a year now, since i invested quite a sum of money into this scheme.

The most disappointing part about the whole thing is that, even the government can actually broadcast this company's opening on RTM. Making the whole thing really credible.




But what really made me and my other friends to invest even further, is due to this uncle.

He was introduced to us by one of our friends, someone to be "knowledgeable and skilled".

He told how his son joined and made hundred thousands that even himself could not help it but to invest in as well.

We open up lots under his name, and he gave many promising words.

Convincing it was indeed.

It was only to my dismay when i realized something was wrong when everything was silent and remain stagnant. All effort was futile in searching for a clear answer.

So i decided to make contact with him, to find out what's going on.

Here's the dialogue via sms -
---------------------------------------------------

Daryl : Hi, this is Daryl. It’s been some time since we interact. Is it possible that we can meet up?

Uncle : HI DARYL, can u elaborate a little how we met each other? I’m sorry, I really can’t figure out, u must help me on this.

Daryl : We met through XYZ*. Regarding IPC?

Uncle : Oh yes, pardon me. How’s life with u? When do u think it’s convenient to meet? Has XYZ told u about my new Company? You can go online to www.quantum88.com to have a look, n give ur comments. I started it with a friend of mine, just last month.

Daryl :Can we meet this Wednesday?

Uncle : Ok, but what time? My office is in Shamelin Perkasa, n I’m there around 3pm -11pm or I can meet u around Damansara Jaya n pick u up. Try to arrange a few of u if possible.

Daryl : Are u interested in purchasing lots in IPC? I have quite a few.

Uncle : No. I got to support my own company, n moreover I don’t think ipc is going to survive long. It’s b’cos Security Commission has blacklisted them n many people don’t want to get involved with them.

Daryl : Wow, why didn’t u mention it months back? Or at least when u’ve found out the truth? How am I supposed to trust on ur quantum?

Uncle : How can I mention something that has not happened yet those months back? It only got blacklisted 2 months after we meet. Well, at least, Quantum88 is on d platform of a Licensing co. sub out from EMI, Sony&Bmg, Universal n all d big music labels with RIM leading d enforcement on illegal downloads. All of them r our partners.

Daryl : Not interested. Next time, becareful on what u promote. U’ve not affect ur own integrity but many others, including my friends and family. Hope u’ll find true meaning in life. God bless.

Uncle : I don’t blame u for having such a mentality, it’s part of growing up. You need God to bless u a lot. Stop sms me cos I don’t like to communicate with a kiasu like u. You must understand it’s u guys who already gone into ipc b4 we know each, don’t put d blame on others. You dare to gamble u must accept consequences. Such as in d share market, whether u make or not. I invested around 500 lots, who am I to blame? Grow up kid!

Daryl: Okay uncle! Ur’re the best :)

*names has been changed for reputation purpose.

---------------End-------------------

*hmmm .. *

www.theaterhopper.com/index.php?date=20040811

The uncle probably thinks that i worship the god of prosperity or something, and 500 lots?

Anyhow, my dear viewers, if you do com across a similar scheme, let me know. Perhaps i can try giving a tip or two.

*Coming up next : Gossip can break the strongest bond ..

Thank you for your time.

God bless, cheers.

Some glimpses over the past few weeks ..

Images spam!
A rough update over the past weeks, enjoy!

Drew this to my girl, for her bday card on 6th October :)


Random shot, near my house.


Random shot, near KDU.


KLCC, went there twice, once with 2nd cousin from the States and the other with my girl and Anderson.

Noon, KLCC .


Evening, KLCC .


A ride up to Uncle Lim's! With my 2nd cousin, Kevin from the United States :)

Lol, they had this plastered all along the wall while walking to the theme park.


Images of the legendary road at Old Town, Ipoh.





Abandoned lot, along the row of the legendary road at Old Town, Ipoh.


The overall view of the legendary road at Old Town, Ipoh.


One of the apartments in Old Town, Ipoh. Very distinctive, painted mostly in red. Apparently, many suicide cases were recorded here. .
( Choon Meng at pic) lol

Stopped by at the train station at Ipoh, seems to be a new structure around town, not launched yet though.
( Chingy at pic )



So that roughly sums up over the weeks, although many more things took place.

However, only this much went through the lens of my faithful K750i :)
There are other images, but they wouldn't be appealing to your eyes, so I'll only have this much to offer.

*Coming up next : IPC uncle, you're the best!

Thanks for your time!

God bless, cheers.

Updates on the progress../ How to survive in college?

They say, progress is a very subjective matter.

But really, I'm unsure whether I can apply that to this matter.
18 September .. *counts* That's around 1 month+ of absence. I can imagine the horror on one business manager's face if he finds out that there's no report on his desk regarding the progress of the company for such a period time.

And perhaps, due to such a "progress", subconsciously, a compelling force was laid unto fingers from typing down any letter on this blog.

Of course, they are other factors which contribute to such unwanted event.

Financially, emotionally .. and the list goes on. I won't go so much details on all that for now.

However,

I've learned and will always remember this phrase from my beloved tuition teacher, Mrs Khoo -

"Undaunted Spirit"

Quoted from Dictionary.com
"undismayed; not discouraged; not forced to abandon purpose or effort: undaunted by failure."


Yes, it'll take that sort of spirit to search for ExO individuals, scattered all over the globe, lingering in places you least expect to find.

I do hope that my blog is able to convey to a considerable amount of coverage and prayerfully come in contact with any ExO.

Critical, focused, determined, positive and most importantly, creative individuals. First to stand out and manage when there's a crisis and wouldn't give up in the darkest days.




-----------------Meanwhile--------------------

At the same time, the term "Survival" can be very subjective too.

For the past month, nothing much has changed. I'm referring to college here by the way.

The main purpose of college is to obtain education and whatever way the individual wishes to manipulate the education for, is up to the person.

College, is also a place where you meet all sorts of different people as well as learning how to work along well with them. Hence, you will be able to witness all the teamwork assignments flooding in.

However, I do not recall college as a place where, you find a group of people you fall in love with, or at least to make yourself think that way, and to stick with them no matter what the circumstances are. To lie, cheat, gossip, act, pretend, neglect or any other "method" to stay in the group.

Frankly speaking, when one enters the corporate world, it's not up to the person to Choose who she/he wants to work with, the employer does. That also means, even if you end up working with a bunch of seniors who push all the workload to you, you have to pull it through too.

Anyhow, to not divert to far away from the topic, the real key element in "surviving", is your mindset. What do wish to achieve in college?

Evaluate critically and carefully on those goals, for whom you're doing it for?

Lose your focus and goals and you will find yourself succumbing to peer pressure, doing things that you find yourself dead shocked to only realize you forgot who you really are.

This post is rather lengthy and plain, but not to worry, the following one will be more appealing to the eyes. Before i end this post, thank you all for all the support, especially to my beloved girl, Vong Li Her. Do stop by at her blog too :) www.liherrehil.blogspot.com

Thank you for your time.

God bless. Cheers.
