Education and Ethics.

Working in Berjaya Times Square isn't the ideal place for a conducive environment in terms of providing service based jobs.

Perhaps, not for me.

For PJ peeps, it's a close up and personal observation of the other "side" of Malaysians.

Where the community spits, utter vulgar language and draws out their cigarette bud wherever they like. Of course, over the years, the numbers of "them" has decreased but still, it's a plain ugly sight when they exhibit their immoral codes and values.

Is it just education or ethics? Or both?

The simplest things in everyday life, giving way when someone wishes to cut to the other lane when you're driving, queuing up for your turn when you're trying to buy a ticket, pressing the open button at the lift when someone is trying to enter before the lift door closes ..

There was a survey conducted here in Malaysia by foreigners, listing us as the world's top 5 rudest countries. Sure, there may be some flaws and loopholes in the survey but still, it shows Malaysia's moral codes and conducts. And for crying out loud, we're not a 3rd world country, we're a developing country. There's a huge difference in classifying ourselves and thinking that "It's okay lah." and continue doing what you've been doing.

The LRT system alone is so complicated, a 3rd world nation can't afford to hire foreign engineers and architects to construct something like that. Don't mention the Petronas Twin towers or Maxis for instance, these sort of industries wouldn't exist if have hardcore poverty on a LARGE scale.

The community has their fair share of responsibility to educate and install proper values and ethics into the minds of their children. However, from a bigger picture, it's the government that governs the people of the country. And the government needs a change.

So please, manipulate your education and VALUES, if you have any (I pray that you do), and make a change.

Thanks for your time.

God bless.

Parents.

In 20 years of my life, I've never seen so much pain in someone before.

I really thanked my brother for being there for me and cared for me with all his heart. What i'm doing right now, hardly match up for the things he's done for me, but I would still proceed with it.

There are many type of parents in this globe that we live in.

Not too long ago, I read an article from The Star, mentioning that parents do not have a course or a guide to qualify them as parents. Gary mentioned that there should be institution to guide parents on how to be a good parent. Probably we should be one too.

In life, before we actually want to guide someone, mentor, teach or be a role model to wrap it all, we must question ourselves, how much do our life values, belief and principles weigh against the world? Or in fact, do we have any of those?

Do we have a personal deep philosophy of life that we hold strongly to and would want others to look at life the same way you do?

If we can hardly take good care of ourselves, to know that we're matured enough, emotionally stable enough, how can we even guide or influence others?

It's true that life is a never ending, learning journey. But there is a point in life where you come to a stable sense of reasoning, of having your personal values and belief and would want to live life to it's fullest.

There is a difference in being a parent and a guardian. A parent would pour love on to their child, guide them to understand life and understand them in every possible way. To be there for them when they're hurt and to protect them from danger. To get to know their potential life partner, to see whether he/she suits your child (considering the fact that if you really know your child well) and then show support in all ways possible.

Sometimes, it amazes me that certain individuals can be so numb and hard headed that they just don't know why are they even living life for.

I just need prayers for them right now.

God bless.

Does James Bond with you?

It's been a while back since I watched it. I'll give it a 7/10.

DON'T WORRY, i won't reveal anything here. Since the last time I spent so much time writing a movie review, my traffic decreased instead of increasing. Will consider that a "life lesson" learned.

Tribute time!

Sean Connery (1962-1971)

Dr. No 1962, From Russia with Love 1963, Goldfinger 1964, Thunderball 1965, You Only Live Twice 1967, Diamonds Are Forever 1971.

My mum really loves him, lol.

George Lazenby (1969)


On Her Majesty's Secret Service 1969

Roger Moore (1973-1985)

Live and Let Die 1973, The Man with the Golden Gun 1974, The Spy Who Loved Me 1977, Moonraker 1979, For Your Eyes Only 1981, Octopussy 1983, A View to Kill 1985.

Timothy Dalton (1987-1989)

The Living Daylights 1987, Licence to Kill 1989

Pierce Brosnan (1995-2002) Finally! Mamma mia!


lol. Just can't help it.

GoldenEye 1995, Tomorrow Never Dies 1997, The World Is Not Enough 1999, Die Another Day 2002

Daniel Craig (2006-Present)


Casino Royale 2006, Quantum of Solace 2008.

Frankly speaking, I really enjoy Craig's bond, although I've never seen the earlier ones before. Yet if compared to Pierce's, Craig's bond appeals to me more.

More realistic, vulnerable and logical in many ways.

However, for Quantum, it's rather short for a bond movie. The final showdown was quite a letdown as alot of anticipation was built.

Oh and just for your information, the total amount of budget for all the bond movies is $1,098,000,000.

But in return of all that investment, is $11,615,711,960.

Would really want to watch the old ones now, it'll be fascinating.

Thanks for your time.

God bless, cheers.

"Wow".

Ever since my mum was introduced to the internet, she started cultivating some interest in the activities offered there.

And the activities I meant was ..

Well downloading really old songs (which adds an interesting variety to the winamp) and checking her e-mails on a really consistent basis.

But there's one more thing she really enjoys doing too, forwarding them.

So she always forwards e-mails to anyone she knows and that includes me too, frankly speaking, I don't really read forwarded mails, unless the header of the e-mail is too captivating to be missed.

Which then leads to my random behavior of giving the e-mail to be read .. or not to be read.

Apparently, I made a wise decision by doing so today.

Last year, when Kai xian came back, we had a meal at pizza hut. One of the customers made a really interesting tower at the salad bar that it caught our attention immediately. We were joking that he must be an architech who can't stop his passion even when it comes to food. Maximizing the profit he can earn by the concept offered by pizza hut and so on. We took pictures of it by requesting their permission when he's done and we were really impressed.

But guess what, the e-mail my mum forwarded to me .. is 10 time more imba(imbalance) than what we witnessed that night,

Behold, the power of CHONG GUO REN (Citizens of China)!

Foundation.

Level 1


Preparing level 2.

We're just getting started here ..


Slowly rising . .


Most people would be really proud by time they reached this level .. but no, he ain't stopping here..


Gung hooooooooo!


There you go, the final touch.

Can feed up to 10 freaking people .. okay not freaking but imbaaaaaaaaaa........

So while i was really fascinated by those pictures with my head thinking, "wow".. "wow".."Wow".."WOW".....

And then, there's one more picture that really killed it all
































"KDJOPA()*@#)+_)+_)+_ADMLWMNIQOWNDIOQWND)_#(*&*(_!!_@)+_!@"

Yeah, that's what went through my mind.

And proudly in the e-mail, it was writen there, "THE PAGODA". lol


See the challenge? One and a half of the knife's height! So for starters, I'm going to attempt to be at least be at the tip of knife's height. Who want to join me on this quest?

When Times are hard

Remember when your parents tell you tales of how hard they went through when they're young? "Exceptional for those parents are taukehs of gold shops and so on"

Well, for one, shirts and pants that I bought from petaling street.. say almost 3-4 years back? i'm still wearing them. They're getting torn and even my best piece has a hole in it now. Cost of living is getting higher, thanks alot Govt.. :D

But in this times .. isn't the worse yet.

KAI XIAN IS COMING BACK!

It's like suddenly the government is rising the petrol to RM100.00 per litre. (although i don't drive)
It's like going to the prom 8 times in a week. (interesting huh?)
It's like a random stranger walks to you and say "Can borrow RM500? Return you tommorow".

Jokes aside, glad that he's coming back, a VERY logical childhood friend who won't fail to provide a ball of fun :)

Right Jane? lol.

I tried to find kai xian's picture on friendster, it showed 3 females. All 3 in malaysia and all 3 complicated.

OH WAIT, found one at my profile :D

Priceless la this photo plus jane's expression summore :D
