白

为什么阳光那么亮?
光都一定要是白?
当我只想自自在
却让我无法挡?

为什么你是那么亮?
把我照的那么白?
在你面前那么白.
却让我无法拆?

我不明白
我不知道
我也不想明白
我喜欢在你面前慌

为什么你是那么亮?
把我照的那么白?
当我只想让你猜
却让我无法赖?

为什么你是那么亮?
光只围绕你的笑?
在你面前我就摆
却让我找不着?

我不明白
我不知道
我也不想明白
我喜欢在你面前傻

为什么阳光那么亮?
光都一定要是白?
当我只想自自在
却让我无法绕?

为什么你是那么亮?
光只围绕你的好?
当只想轻轻拥抱
但你却都不在?

我不明白
我不知道
我也不想明白
我喜欢在你面前浪漫

two steps

two steps forward, one step back.
sometimes, we move too fast.
sometimes we got to tilt back.
this just could be a better pave.

one step forward, two step back.
sometimes, we're too laid back.
sometimes, we got to go a steep
this place could worth the bet.

two steps forward or one step fore.
sometimes, we got to take a deep.
sometimes, we got to take a leap.
this doesn't require a plead.

two step back and one step back.
sometimes, shall just take a peep.
sometimes, shall just step back.
close our eyes, let it take its place.

Michael Jackson's final rehearsal...

michael had his rehearsal 2 days before his passing at the Staple’s Center in Los Angeles with his dancers for his "This is it!" London concerts that will never take place anymore.



check out how stringent the audition was. thousands of dancers were auditioned for his final act. those dancers were so excited and tearing when they got selected. i bet they must be crying right now too with michael's passing.



MJ's "This is it!" concert would have been the greatest show in decades. damn...

i guess if i have a time machine, michael would be the first person i would save ;)

the king is dead... the moonwalker michael jackson..

just before i went to bed this morning, after working through the nights. i saw the news, Michael Jackson is dead, The King of Pop is gone. all my tiredness was gone, my single eyelid eyes that turned double eyelid due to exhaustion turned back to single eyelid instantly...

wtf?! is all i could say for 15min. he was supposed to be have his comeback concernt in july. he was training so hard to stay fit for his upcoming 50 shows. i wonder what went wrong to his training regime or "it was long overdue", since he was rumoured to suffered from skin cancer for a long time.

nonetheless, that's no other King of Pop like Michael.

i grew up with his moves & his music. we shall now remember him as the creator of moonwalking, the ignitor of new music tv with substance/story, his production quality is still unbeatable till to date.

my all-time favorite music video!


my pals & i actually performed a show based on this video at a rotary club annual dinner back in '90... haha... and i was the cute little boy that MJ dance with at the back entrance.

we shall mourn while doing the moonwalking but will always love him for what he has contribute to the entertainment and joy of our life.

Rest in peace, Michael Jackson my King of Pop. We will always remember you.


Michael Joseph Jackson, the King of Pop (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

2009... a myth in making...

i've been busy, really busy with sleeping for the past 2 months ;)

2008 was great, more ups than down, but when it reach the year end, downs is more that ups... every where is being hit by the financial swirl and i'm not spared from it. so i chose not to doing anything about it or rather i just chose to be in denial of the fore coming swirl.

but nonetheless, life is still good, simply because i'm happy.

2009 has been predicted by most that will be a very challenging year for most. i think the same too. i fore casted the worst is yet to be seen this coming year. i hope i'm wrong.

but nonetheless, so whatever it comes, i shall take it with a smile ;)

cos simply, i've a new love in life, a new goal, a new unprecedented project, a very important idea that i intend to give my full concentration to. something that i love, something that i've been thinking since many years ago. and i think it's time to embark on it. well, since the financial turmoil is hitting my industry badly. what to do....? advertising is always the first hit when global economy slows down. so what if you're the best brand strategist in the world? sometimes i wonder why do i love advertising so much? i should have become a pilot when i had a chance, a driver surrounded by many beauties is not a bad idea. but i missed the age group already ;)

so i'll be launching something fun this year, after chinese new year. lots of preparation needs to be done now...hmm... i'm just simply excited ;)

and ooh... happy new year to all ;)

sambal with naked chef...

i got up today, i realized that it's time for me to make something different. so i set 2 objectives for myself. one, buy pork lard and two, make sambal ikan bilis.

why pork lard? cos it's fabulous! just add a little pork lard into your fried egg or noodles or basically anything, it will add lots of flavor to your dish. to add to that, if the pork lard has been deep fried before, gosh, just imagine the aroma when it's cooked with your favorite meal.

sambal is a malaysian local delicacy that everyone can't leave without. for the most famous malay local dish such as "nasi lemak" (coconut rice), the sambal will determine the quality of the dish. you can have all your best fried chicken, egg or whatever fancy side dishes with it, but nothing completes it if the sambal is shit. sambal is a spicy complement dish made of chili paste and "ikan bilis" (anchovies) and sometimes mix with prawn or other, it sometimes can be very spicy but with nice aroma with it.

i love sambal, and i would usually go to my friend's house just to eat his mom's special sambal ikan bilis. "just sambal ikan bilis with rice and i'm contented already, and this is heaven!", i said to him every time. then finally, the other day, his mom gave me her recipe!

so, i'm all set to make sambal ikan bilis today! despite the fact that i didn't sleep the night before, i was wide awake with enthusiasm. after circling for more than 30mins, i can't find a wet market that sell pork lard. so i gave up on pork lard and went directly to the local hyper mart.

i love hyper mart, frankly, i'm such a house-man. groceries shopping is such a fun thing, and of cos, i usually overspent haha...anyway, when i got there, i realized i'm short of cash, then when to ATM and bloody hell, my card was stuck in the machine.... hmm....then i had to detour to the bank to claim a new card. it's a peak hour, i had no choice but to double park, and yes, i got ticket cos the bank has a long queue and couldn't get out quick enough...haha...what a day...

finally, went back to the hyper mart bought a new blender/grinder and set home to start my sambal making naked :)


~ ingredients waiting to be unclothed ~


~ one shot with the new "brand-less" blender ~


~ voila! ~

the sambal was yummy!! and it's 90% close to my friend's mom's... haha...oo... did i mention i also bought 30 packs of 1L soya bean?? madness... ;)

a pleasant august...surprisingly

august has been a taboo month for me for many years. surprisingly august 2008 was not as bad as my mind had prepared for. thou there were still some unfortunate events but i won't say it's severe enough to make me knock my head on the wall...;)

biking biking
i bought a mountain bike, finally. i love cycling, touring cross country, something that i use to do when i was in my teen where i traveled almost the whole of malacca state ;) got this "new" bike from a friend but it's pretty good buy with above average component. it cost less than half of what it was supposed to be. i need real bad this time, my bums are shrinking, legs has lost its shape. i use to have great round arse, used to get slapped & pinched at clubs..haha...anyway, time to start biking again and get my arse back in shape ;) will tour up to thailand soon ;)


~ gt avalanche 2.0 with full xt set ~

taking off with new client
finally the newly acquired client has started the engine moving. been rushing some work for julie's biscuit. catch them by the road soon!

reconnecting with ex-girlfriends
i found few of my exes in facebook. some were like as long as 16yrs ago ;) it was a fabulous feeling to find "old" friends who i've shared some precious moment before. i'm glad that some of them are happily married, and getting married. hmm...those old memories sometimes really make us wonder why did we do what we did and would we still behave the same... but it's a sweet find, nonetheless ;)

storming the beach
made a trip back to jb and had the opportunity to stay over at desaru beach. it's one of the few unspoilt beaches in johor state. someone asked "what's there in desaru? there's nothing there". my best answer would be "because there's nothing there." i love remote beaches, basically unwrath by the civilization. but i believe a great company do make a lot of difference as well ;) anyway, i've not been there since 20yrs ago...it's kind of recollecting the old memories. saw a couple of o'skool stuff. really funny.


~ truly untouched ~


~ with a little shade just made it worth a nap ~


~ blue sky against clear sea, isn't this picture complete? ~


~ found this really cute o'skool chocolate, it's called "chocolate bracelet" and it's pretty obvious made for kids under 3yrs old haha... i can barely fit 2 fingers in. it cost only 30 cents! ~

making of plum blossom legs
it's was a great trip except that i was persecuted and tortured by the unwelcomed locals, the sand flies... my beautiful silky legs were scarred, bitten & left with traces of torment...it's now officially the "plum blossom legs". you don't even feel the pain or anything when these parasite kiss you, such a great kisser...damn... you may find it strange that my legs has no hair. i didn't shave, if that's what you wonder. i'm blessed with it, it's genetic thing and there were none visible pores as well. im basically hairless except on those places that the hair has no particular function at all... ;)


~ day 1, felt nothing & laughing about it ~


~ day 2, the itch begins ~


~ day 3, i felt like killing somebody already. the moral of the story, when you're at the beach, wanna act macho, show off your body and lay by the beach make sure you have insect repellent. or else, jus put on your cloths and keep walking ~

keeping alive with muruku while fat boy sleeps
while driving back to jb, i was made the official driver of my son, husky. the bloody cute fat boy was sleeping like a pig, a real fluffy one. so i had to have something to keep me awake & entertained while driving alone, something in my hand & my mouth besides livita and cigarette . muruku, a local indian snack kept me alive.


~ made of flour, indian spice, curry etc...and yes, full of calories ;) ~

now, take a look at the cute fella ;)


~ sleeping like a baby ~


~ still sleeping ~


~ bloody hell, still sleeping... ~

but i love you, boy ;)

olympics...the right reasons to stop blogging..

ok...i've been really busy lately, i can hear someone is complaining, or else i won't have having hiccups whole day on saturday, seriously, it's definitely not sexy. stop cursing me already ;)

the real reason was it's the lunar 7th month, fengshui master says it's bad to bitch around during this "hungry ghost month" haha....ya right...anyway was finding reason & inspiration to blog....ooo...i found one.

olympic is over!



yea, full of excuses, i'm busy with olympics games. but can you blame me? this olympics is awesome! lots of record breakings, lots of inside stories, lots of gossips....haha....love the drama within the sports.

there were love, laugh, touching moments, winners and sore losers...yes, i meant americans, if not all, mostly from what i see.

here's the top 10 reasons why i love olympics.

1 - there's no fat peaople! woohoo!

2 - all the girls are in great shape!

3 - and they look great in their cloths!

4 - gymnastics girls! i won't not even hesistate a milisecond to consider any of them. too fluid, too beautiful, a true beauty of a woman...


Russian Evgeniya Kanaeva - Rhythmic Gymnastics Rhythmic Individual All-around Gold


American Nastia Liukin - Women's Artistics Gymnastics Individual All-Around Gold

5 - ok, gymnastics macho men too, these people are not human, how did he manage to do that???


Chinese Chen Yibing - Men's Artistics Gymnastics Individual Rings Gold

6 - it happens once every 4 years only. the next time i watch it, i would be older by 4 years. by then i might not even have the energy to cycle.

7 - high inspirational values, if they can do it, so can i! i think, i can....haha


Jamaican Usain Bolt broke world records for both 100m & 200m!

8 - lots of inside stories, falls & rebounds from the losers to the winners. even some were survivor from cancer, can you beat that?


American Michael Phelps - the greatest olympian of all time, sweeping 8 gold medals in a single Olympics Games and 7 world records. He was diagnosed with ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) when he was 9.


Dutch Maarten van der Weijden - Gold medalist of Men's 10km Marathon Swimming. He is a survivor of leukemia where he confronted it in 2001.

9 - the most legitimate way to whack the hell out of americans. i don't hate americans but just sometimes, really, they are too arrogant. from the nbc news you'll see, the commentators always say this when an opponent beat their atheletes "the score is too high" and "we deserve it" and go on to complain about the judges saying "inexperienced judges" haha..sore loser!

10 - a true event that has no boundaries of colors, race, ethnic, religions and age, the oldest were 70 years old and the youngest were only 13! world peace ya...

great job, china! great job, champions.... london 2012 see you soon...;)

i had marathon...movie marathon

when was the last time you had your movie marathon? i had mine today.

i had my movie marathon today, alone. since it's very hard to please everyone with few different genre of the movies, and i might just need to invite few different persons, in few different days, just to finish watching movies that i wish to watch. furthermore, my friends has this weird perception that 2 men watching movies together is the "gayiest" thing ever... so i decided, save the trouble, cut the unnecessary strings, go and watch the movies that i've been wanting to watch - Red Cliff & The Dark Knight. hmm... i watched Sex and the City the night before too. So just imagine, if i need to watch all 3 at one go, how many people should i go with??

anyway, i spent almost 6 hours in the cinema hall today. Batman & Red Cliff are both equally long, 2.5hrs, equally great actors.

Red Cliff, for some who doesn't know, it's pride the biggest budgeted Asian film in the history. It's part of the Three Kingdoms story (one of the four greatest chinese novels). Red Cliff is about the first major battle between the North Wei, West Shu and East Wu kingdoms. the greatest battle set against the red cliff, the begining of the formation of three kingdoms. i went in the hall without any expectation. i'm never john woo's fan, and what can you expect when the movie has no 2 guns, john woo's signature? i just want to see the exchange of wits between the 2 greatest strategists of that era, Zhou Yu & Zhuge Liang. I think, Tony Leung did a good job, as always, and i think john was lucky that Chow Yun-fatt declined that role of Zhou Yu. chow might just ruin that character, tony certainly bring out the "unpredictable" & "deep/hidden" side of Zhou Yu. Takeshi Kineshiro's Zhuge Liang is not too bad but a bit cheeky for the greatest strategist of china. well, can't wait for the part 2 thou, where the real battle begins...

The Dark Knight, what can i say? Heath Ledger is a legend! he pulled the entire show in one piece. he pulled the entire audience's attention to him. he's a greater hero in that movie. a villain that you wish he could reprise it in the sequel but it will never be. i doubt anyone could do a better joker than him. such a sad thing for such a talented actor to die so young. i'm never a fan of batman but this time round i wish to watch the sequel with the joker in it! damn. expect the unexpected. all i could say is, watch it twice, not once, twice.

what about Sex and the City? i'm big fan of Sex and the City but the movie seriously....well, just expect the expected then. the girls are getting too old, the only surprise is, miranda got prettier??? actually, less ugly is more appropriate. carrie bradshaw? was she ever attractive? with a crooked nose & cheeks higher than her eyes? hmm...how could that be the benchmark for sexy? i've been wondering it since i fell in love with that series but she does has style ;)... but, i will do samantha & charlotte 10 times and it will still not carrie's turn. err...steve you can keep miranda for as long as you wish :). ok, bring some pop corns, cokes & lots of chips, watch them like how you watch the series then, yes, it feels like watching 4 episodes at one go :)

it's mamma mia!!

mamma mia! is coming !! omg... i can't really wait for it. for those who were born in 60s and those that grow up during 70s hippies era or those that had to "endure" your parents records... surely you know what is mamma mia, yes it's ABBA! yes i'm so damn excited about it. this musical movie is gonna be awesome. it's gonna be an awesome chick-flick. yes, i love chick-flick! and i love musical! it is based on the super duper popular broadway/west end musical - mamma mia!. and every song in there is from ABBA... isn't it amazing?! you get to hear "dancing queen", "money money money", "knowing me, knowing you" and of cos "mamma mia" all over again!



i also don't know why i'm a bit head over heel of this super ever green ABBA that i grew up listening to my parents' records... damn. i'm super excited and i immediately downloaded their greatest hits! if you want it, drop me a mail i will send them to you ;)

what can i say? ABBA started a new pop trend in 70s with their catching tunes, and they were hot looking (then). wait, do you know ABBA is actually from Sweden? ;) ABBA were formed by 2 pairs of then husbands & wives with initials of A & B... Björn Ulvaeus & Agnetha Fältskog; Benny Andersson & Anni-Frid Lyngstad. sweet right? haha..

they should start to do a retrospective or make a come back of all the 70s inspired musical, "grease" was great. i wonder when is the musical "mamma mia!" coming to town...

here's the trailer for the new movie mamma mia! from meryl streep & pierce brosnan, yes they sing & dance in there! also, special treats of the originals at the bottom... enjoy ;)


~ trailer 1 ~

i'm in love & enjoying my touch...

i've recently bought myself a pda phone, my first. it's been the longest time since i wanted a pda phone but as usual i can be a little too fussy with the design, color, shape, functionality, size, weight & price factors...but my concerns are solved, finally...

i got myself a 'htc touch', i name it xenoed-touch or xenoed's touch. so if you're on the street and wandering with your bluetooth and notice xenoed-touch, yes, that's me :)

this is actually the first version among the htc touch-series. a full-feature touch screen phone, it's simply known as 'htc touch', and the other 2 are 'touch dual' & 'touch cruise'. the earlier comes with 3g but without wifi and the later with everything plus built-in gps. whilst, 'htc touch' only equipped with wifi. 'touch dual' comes with slide-out qwerky keys and 'touch cruise' is just simply ugly. anyway, i don't really use 3g, it's expensive per usage & you don't need 3g to have MMS. wifi is what i really needed.

i simply love the design, sleek, stylish, clean & very thin not to mention it's covered with rubberised surface. and, it's extremely light for a pda. only 112g. but what really impressive was the 'touchFLO' interface, simply slide the finger up, left, right & down to access to the frequently used features. the favorite people's page is nice where it features all your favorite people's picture, a nice touch. it comes with 4 colours for gsm edition; black, white, wassabi green & burgundy. i wanted wassabi green it was damn classy, i was told it's limited and hard to come by. and my friend said, it was meant for gay, i don't really care, really. but i got the black at the end, cos that's the only color available, damn!

it was designed to counter iphone but i think it still has it's limitation comparing to iphone. anyway, i don't like iphone for the fact that it's just another powerful ipod or an extension of ipod craze, and it's too big for my pocket...well, i just don't fancy common things, and don't fancy common fanaticism. but i like htc touch...and yes, i'm still enjoying 'my touch' after 3 weeks.

but....i'm a little regretted after getting 'touch', cos' htc just launched its new touch-series 3 days ago, it's called 'htc diamond'. it's fucking awesome! i bet this will be a tough contender to iphone, it comes with 'touchFLO 3D' interface... freaking amazing! even iphone was using 2d only. and i bet it will be the real killer. it will officially hit the streets in june 2008, first in europe then asia. it's expected to price between myr2,900 - myr3,300. check out the video...i'm drooling already...i'm so wanna get it...
