Too Mind On Two Minds

It's quite contrary to mention this..

I suppose your wife doesn't understand you when you urge to buy that brand new Aston Martin. It wasn't a revenge on her constant impulse buying habit. You want to drive that new car. You want to feel the happiness of having a second wife. You just don't friggin mind even when she said you're out of mind.



But then again..

If happiness is all we want, then why go for sad movies? And if security is what we need, shouldn't we avoid driving a fast car?

I reckon we don't really mind having a life without happiness and security after all. I know I can read your mind. Okay, not women's - I still don't know what they want.

Shut Up I Am Dreaming

It's been more than a month since I left my blog behind. I was less expecting my blog traffic to grow, which surprisingly it did.

In pursue for a better salary, my new job has brought my blogging activity to a temporary halt. Sad, but I still have a dream to catch car loan to settle.



Whenever I stare at bathroom mirrors and office windows, I often think out loud. What's my dream again? It just appeared to be cloudy until I make it clear.



I'm not unmindful that life should be spent wisely. I will certainly fill mine with colorful and meaningful things as I remind myself while facing the sudden reflection of my dream.

A new year is on the way, so I hope to dream my life and live my dream.

Naive Like A Child

Sometimes it's really hard to diminish the feeling of fear.

Whenever I need to initiate an action, I'll take some time to think about it. Eventually I will lose my motivation in carrying out that action. Probably it's due to the amount of time I killed while considering the act. Besides, it means more time for me to craft out ideas to reject and build fear out of it.



Almost instant, I enjoyed the feeling of relief after I decline to act. This is basically mounting my fear instead of my courage to proceed. The relief I got was like a reward for not taking the action. So the more I refrain myself from doing it, the more reward I will claim, and the more actions I will try to avoid in the future.

I can hear the small voice telling me to stop behaving like a child, who afraid of everything. But one thing though, if I behave like a child, I will probably just go ahead without thinking much.



Somehow I believe this relates to Occam's razor which suggested as few assumptions as possible to be made in any phenomenon, and eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory.

Before we confuse ourself with that Occam's phrase, just do it like what Nike says.

An Answer to A Question Is A Question

My post title sounded a little bit confusing though I have no intention in doing so nor injecting elements from Confucius.

In many cases, like recently, one of my colleagues put me in confusion as he tried to explain some business processes to me. I thought I understood but I didn't. I started to question for more answers to clear my doubts.

However I found that the more questions I threw in, the more confused I became.


I heart question mark?

Deep down in mind, I questioned myself why I couldn't get it right. Why the processes was difficult to understand? Why did he confuse me with conflicting statements? I questioned the entire process once again, which got him to answer hell more questions pertaining to my level of understanding instead.

The real life story above is one of many similar cases whereby my mind was blocked with questions that led me to nowhere.

I've found an answer. It was from a guy named Noah St. John. According to him, our brain always respond to a question - by searching for an answer based on the question itself.

So, the simple answer to a difficult question tends to be a positive question itself. Let me get this right - I need to ask questions in a positive manner to make myself to believe anything is clear and easy to understand. When my brain behaved in such manner, I started to link things together to form ideas which will then solve the questions I asked earlier.

In many situations, we asked..

Why do I always have bad luck?
Instead of - Why am I so lucky?


Why I have so little?
Instead of - Why I have so much?


Why am I so poor?
Instead of - Why am I so rich?


Why are the exams so difficult?
Instead of - Why do I feel so confident in my exams?


Why all the bad things happen when I less expected?
Instead of - Why I always at the right place at the right time?

Go ahead and ask yourself on those positive questions. For sure, the answers will surface one by one.

Last but not least, I still have one more question in mind.

Why doesn't this blog post sound confusing?

Separated At First, Together At Last

If my previous post mentioned I love the song because of its video, this time around I love the song because it was my favorite song (indeed a very lame reason). And of course, thanks to the wonderful work of WongFu. I was very much touched by their creative juice in putting people and emotion together.



I reckon the love story was based on a result of a long distance relationship. No one cares whether it does actually lasted for real (as long as the couple really love each other). Distance certainly not a barrier as already shown in this video. What the guy did was simply imagine his partner to be at his side whenever he goes (so he did act a little crazy as he took his own photos). The same goes to the girl (photographing herself was a crazy repeat act). But this weird behavior will only occur when a couple is madly in love.

Mad and crazy.

Geez, I'm Yours?

First, the awesomeness of an amateur choreography in the above video made me fell in love with Jason Mraz's song. Second, it certainly inspires me with some great new ideas for my future wedding video. Of course, it utters something else as well.

Okay, here's my thought after watching the video for like 16 times. It was actually 269 times.

1. Pink is the new black
The guy in the video uses pink iPod. I assume it's pretty normal to see a guy wearing pink shirt. But it contradicts my belief that no men would choose pink gadgets. He could stand a higher chance showing off the sensitive side of him. Or we can assume that evil dude steal it from his sister. Or worst, he is pertaining to color blindness. Or maybe I've been thinking too much here.

2. Wedding video is an advertisement
I believe it was a Raisin Bran advertisement that looks like a wedding video. Otherwise, it could be a wedding video that looks like a Raisin Bran advertisement. Whatever it is, two birds were killed in the process. On the other hand, it was a stone significant milestone achievement on a different style of videography, which eventually scores the video maker tons of money in return. In other words, they are actually promoting themselves and Wong Fu's work to their family and friends.. and you of course.

3. Creativity attracts copycats
Indeed no one likes to reinvent the wheel. So people just love re-using creative ideas as their own ideas. Similarly like this, that and this. No doubt copying is bad, but modifying and improving it into a better one is definitely a good idea. In this case, many said Wong Fu's team borrowed ideas from the 'Bad day' mv (as shown below). Anyway, does it matter if it's better?



They looked almost the same. No? Isn't it obvious how they do everything the same way? Personally, I really like the crossword scene. Though the guy was a little unnatural when acting, both ended up really great. No? Say yes.

Lunch Actually

Recently I had a lunch with a friend, who wants to taste success in a shortest time. Whilst I was still chewing my fifth scoop of rice, he already emptied his plate. Gosh, that was really quick. He told me the same speed is used when comes to completing his work assignments. Yea, basically in everything he does.

Of course, I believe him.


It got to be a quick one.

Now where did I go wrong? I choose to enjoy every bite instead of eating for the sake of filling up my stomach. Surprisingly, he boldly said he gains more joy and satisfaction in that way. As I read through his way of eating, I can come up with a few reasons why his taste buds still bathing pleasure while going under pressure.

Order Yourself

All the food he ate was ordered by him, unless his girlfriend is around. In other words, he gets to eat what he likes. In real life, we get to do things we like when we focus on what we want. Like selecting the best school, deciding an ideal job, choosing a life partner or merely fixing your mind on which undies to wear. Just that someone will suggest something else which tends to taste better than the choice you’ve made.

Eat While It’s Hot

He savour immediately when things are served in front of him, though the food was still hot. Strange but true that once his tongue adapts to it, his appetite will keep him going. Well, continuous momentum will persist once it is forcefully built. I guess many tasks seem hard at first. Probably you can opt to do it later - but more work or problems might arise from there. It will kill your mood and none will be solved by then. I reckon there is nothing to lose for practicing this, except for some sweat.

Chew Properly

This is probably the most blatant part. Yeah, he did munch appropriately before swallow. If not, I think he will choke in front of me with his last breath caught in his esophagus. Result wouldn’t go wrong if necessary actions are performed correctly in place. For instance, I used to do workouts without proper warm-up exercises and I did suffer bad muscles and joints ache. So I ended up fat. Therefore in a critical process, we need to go according to its procedures to obtain the desirable outcome. In another word, no shortcuts.

Tasty Ones Always Go Last

I saw him ate the fried chicken skin after he finished everything else. So while eating other less tasty stuff on the plate, he's driving his speed towards the end for the crispy skin. In real life, hard work sits on your shoulder before you find your success. If you desperately wanted success in your life, your desire will motivate you to bite lips and move on with your efforts no matter how tough it is. In my case, I ate the rice first then only I ate the veggies I'm kidding, I don't eat veggie. Five words. Save the best for last.

Drink Goes In Between

Both of us drink something - a sip of fruit juice or a spoonful of soup in between the bites. It relieves the stress of consistent chewing in the mouth. My jaws did feel tired when comes to chewing the rice, so I just washed them down the throat with a sip of drink. Just follow both of us. Take a break whenever you find necessary. Do not overwhelmed yourself with work because work will never ends.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Indirectly, it does relate to how things should be handled in life. I'm glad I learned something out of his eating habit. I thought to myself, maybe both of us should go for lunch more often.


Well maybe on something different next time.


Perhaps a steamboat lunch..



I wonder this time how fast he can eat. Teehee!

Crazy Driver Drives Crazy Life

My life took a rough ride for the last few weeks. I would consider it as a part of the career journey of mine. Basically something that I have never tried before. As I moved out from my comfort zone, I have completed a major project in two weeks, went for three four interviews in a week and sat for three mental aptitude tests as required during some of the interviews.

First, it was like a child going for a fun ride. So much fun, and so many things seemed to look like candies to me. *Never have so many interviews in one time*



But see, being the driver will never get to enjoy the beautiful scenery of life. My time has been killed for watching the road ahead. Don't get wrong, I love to drive my life the way I want it to be. Not like someone out there whom their parents drive them around and make them feel like peanuts.

Anyway, I got to go along with the danger of freaking out in those interview rooms, as I have been trying my very best to chase away the butterflies from my stomach. Pretty tough! But I still managed to wrap off a project and wrote different sets of resume for the three interviews. It's considered as an accomplishment for someone who always take numerous days off in a week.

The only thing is.. this blog was victimized in this situation. I still plan to plant some love in this blog.

Oh yea, here's my favorite song for this moment. Love in this club. I got this creative hip hop driver singing rapping for me. Teehee.



Remember don't drive your life recklessly. Loopholes of disaster and challenging humps are everywhere. Well you may still rap off the pressure of your hot wheels while driving along the long road of life.

Staring At Pretty Girls But..

Warning, there will be an extensive usage of the word 'Butt' 'But'.

Humans stare at beautiful things especially on those things that they find attractive. I mean things like great scenery, paintings, architecture and.. babes babies. Having to stare at newly born baby is the most beautiful thing happen in life. Yeah, it's really fun to stare at those little creatures, but some people eye on things differently..



Of course disaster would happen when a dude stares at a beautiful baby, carried by a pretty woman. Simply because his partner couldn't spot where his eyes landed on. But this isn't his fault! No matter you are male or female, would you stare at other hot guys or girls when your partner is around? Hell No. But I thought everyone would answer yes to this..


I'm carrying a cute baby, anyone staring at me?

I reckon it's a very natural thing for both men and women to do.. but it's just out of respect for the person you're with! We shouldn't stare at someone else, unless they are acting funny or wearing something hideous which both of you can enjoy staring and giggling at the same time. But this really depends on the situation..

I'm not really sure about this, but some people mentioned that the speed of our little brain plays a role here. Women have a quicker speed in capturing images, which means they have the ability to record the most minute details in a split second glance. Men have a slower mode. Don't laugh. They have to first focus (stare) for like minutes to get a general sense of the objects. This literally explains why men stare a lot.. but this doesn't make any sense to me either. Don't you think so?



Some men would express disgust over other men who stare at their girls. But in some cases, some said men supposed to eye on women as they already spend massive amount of money on expensive clothes, cosmetics, skin care and slimming products. All these done to avoid stares from a guy? Well there is a point here. But, but, but, this isn't sound right..

If you still consider treasuring pretty things around is a good view, there's a price to pay. Your girlfriend would probably mad at you, or your boyfriend would probably kill someone over the offense done by your eyes.

But like I said before, it really depends. Let's stare at the girl in the following video, but I strongly discourage you from doing so. But still, I know you will watch it. Anyways I think many of you have watched it already.



Whilst I'm confused, I believe most of you feel the same.. but would you watch another clip of hers? Well..



That's so weird. She does nothing, but just staring at you. And you know what, she got more than a million of views in YouTube. I don't get it. Guess humans stare at beautiful things for sure, but without you knowing, money dropped from the sky as she made all these videos. At this moment, the video already reached 1,565,162 views, so if the advertising company pays $0.01 per view, it's gonna build a massive amount of $15,651.62. Ermm, this is just for one video alone. Not a bad paycheck someone with nothing important to say. Her boyfriend will probably thank everyone for staring at her.

After all, I personally felt it's like a revenge video towards those guys who always stare at other girls.



She's watching you (O_O) to watch her back. Teehee!

OMG, Do You Think There Is God?

I apologize profusely, if you feel offended by the title.



That's a doubt somewhere in my buddy's mind. I was puzzled. "Are you still looking for the scientific proof of God?"..



"I can't tell, only God knows.."

Apart from that, there's another question in mind.
What are you praying today?

Whether it is a pray for a job transfer, recover from illness, a good result in exam, a positive result of a pregnancy test or merely to earn more money, sometimes it just doesn't seem to sound right. To me, it's kinda weird.

In some cases, when someone didn't get something.. or somewhere wrong, someone will start to blame God.



I've encountered scores of human who blame everything but themselves, when their thoughts to God is not granted. I knew it's an easy way to get hold the source of failure, but this isn't a right thing to do.

Does a pray to God means an exchange of goods? I really hope not.

One question. Does anyone pray just to remember God? Not sure whether it's a sin if the answer is ideally no.

May God bless you.

Happy Florist on Happy V-Day!

As I passed by Petaling Street, the ChinaTown in Kuala Lumpur yesterday, I saw lots of flowers for sale. It's Valentine's day!



Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude, but I must say some colour combination of those wrappers are really ugly.



But they're cheap.. teehee!

Time to make big money, lady florist!

Where No One Tattoo The Love

I've been listening to Alicia's No One quite frequent in this few weeks on the radio. Mr. DJ tends to play the song for like every hour. Well indeed, everyone listen to no one but themselves nowadays.

I guess I don't listen to anyone too because I talk to myself and listen to my instinct all the time.

Is it a great song advice to listen to? Yes? Not really?


Since I like the Tattoo song from Jordin Sparks as well, I will try to make a story out of it to further explain my point. Ok, it's a brand new song that inspires many people. Not the song but the story behind it. Love to say this, it's an actual proof that a 17-year old girl could be tattooed with an American Idol title at anytime if she sounds confident and great in her vocal. Of course, not to forget, with the help of a million voters.

See, sometimes we do need help from the others to accomplish something. In the process, you need to listen to them and turns out their thoughts are significant to us. But my point is not supposed to look like this.

When you dedicate a question to your friends, "What do you think of my dress? Lovely, isn't it?" or "I don't really care how go about it, but I do think it's good" An intention to ignore those feedbacks will only make them to hate you.

You don't feel good if you shut your mind with your own opinion and ignoring the rest. Everyone hates you. You might not love to hear this, but love is really what you need. The question is.. Where is the love?

Coincidently, it's my favorite song. Though you sang really well, Fergie, you need to thank to your other members in Black Eye Peas for their ideas and contribution. Without them, there's no you.

Love the people around you, and they shall love you in return.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

How lovely if I were to tell you there's a song clip herewith combining all the 3 songs I mentioned above. It's pretty obvious I wanted to put a linkage between those songs :)

Kudos to Boyceavenue. Love you your voice, and you people out there!

Life Isn't Short-sighted

A brand new year has arrived.

And the real drama being enacted in TV becomes reality.



Like greased lightning, I was swiftly sail through piles of work in office lately. I'm not crazy, but I wanted to laugh. A big one. Just relief my stress.

Work is like reading a never ending storybook. But I remained conscious for long hours though 5 hours of sleep a day merely isn’t enough.

I told myself - Life is short, I don't need to sleep for such long hours to put half of my lifetime into waste. Good news for those having insomnia then, you tend to have more hours to do more reckless things to your life. Make sure it's reckless but eventually mark a meaningful thought though.

You know what, I still think I should make it a point to do something meaningful to my life every month, weekday, or even initiate it every hour.

Well.. throughout the rest of my life, I'll first try my level best to satisfy the kid in me. You should as well. It could be to spend some time playing online games, cracking some jokes with friends or buy some gadgets to kill the curiosity.

Whenever I managed to do that, the feeling great traveled to every parts of my body, even my bones.

Hey, my company isn't Google Inc. I don't have 20% spare time in office to do whatever I like. Gosh, I can see it coming. The end of today, tomorrow.. it's all the same old stuff to manage. Sounds like a happy ending to retirees. It sounds so manageable. However, the thirst for real challenges are the real kool-aid for young nuts like me.

On the other hand, I also need time to fix problems in life, besides adding spices and sucking candy along the path of life. Having done something that is acknowledged to be wrong in a sense, which in this case, no updates on this blog of mine, startled was what I felt.

So first I need to work, then solve problems, and then enjoy life a bit, and it iterates over and over and over Again!

At the mean time, any ideas on how to live an ideal life?

I will try to get help from books like The Secret and The Yoga of Life.

"What Ifs" On Christmas Eve

I hate to say this, but you know what, there’re just too many “what ifs” popped out on Christmas Eve.

What if I misspelled something in those Christmas cards that I sent out? What if being under or over dressed on the upcoming fabulous Christmas party? What if I bought the wrong sizes for my family and friends? What if Santa Claus couldn’t make it to our house? What if there’s no what if..? lol

Good news if you can convince your child that there’s no Santa this year. Probably you can save some money for New Year celebration. But hey some kids don’t care anymore - all they want is to find their gifts waiting for them under their Christmas tree on every 25th December morning.

Like what most people said, it has becomes the “gimme gimme” holiday.

I Love Twelve Days of Christmas

I love listening to music. Who doesn't.

I love Christmas and since Christmas is coming, I'm hearing English Christmas carol every now and then. Eventually I became an avid listener of Christmas carols. My favorite is definitely "The Twelve Days of Christmas".

I love that cumulative song, as it reminds me of those days where I used to repeat myself (just like the way the song is sang) in order to recall my memories before exams. Lols~

I hate Monday, oops.. but to start off a beautiful Monday instead, here's a different version of my favorite Christmas song.

I love it because I do think it's hilarious!

Somehow, it reminds me of my previous lecturer who talks in heavy Indian accent.

And yes, I love listening to his lecture. Hehe..

Ho, Ho, Ho, It's Christmas Cult

Just around the corner, you can tell Christmas is near.

Sure, Christmas is cool and all, but the mentality about Christmas perplexed me a lot as I get along with different individuals.

As a kid, Christmas can be illustrated with words like snowy, white, innocent, fun and exciting. It also means it's time to take a shower of gifts and food. For religious adults, it's time to commemorate the birth of Jesus.

Some might think differently though. Of course, it's an annual splurge for aggressive shopaholics to practice their buying frenzy.

Having said that, Christmas is indeed a very much commercialized holiday. This is just an innocent misrepresentation of mine. I do really hope the real meaning of Christmas still remains.

And this morning I was quite flabbergasted to receive a not-so-innocent Christmas e-card from a friend.

Scroll down and you'll see Santa's willy!

It's Late and Too Late

It's 2 a.m, and i can't sleep.

Why?

Because there's one particular song trapped in my head. It seems can't find the exit gate. So, like a merry-go-round, it goes over and over again though I've shut off that music around 3 hours ago.

Apologize is the answer, in case you're questioning on the song title.

An unofficial MV produced by Aaron Platt, better than the official one

Sadly, it was a sad song and there're just too many arguments on whether it's a song of Timbaland featuring OneRepublic or the other way round. Some stressed that Timbaland sung nothing much in that song, except for an awesome 'eh' sound. Anyhow, I don't really mind as long as it sounds good to me.

Let's put that aside. Well there are also many versions of this particular song. Created by talented individuals whilst in the process of trying to broadcast themselves in YouTube, here are some of my favorites.

First note, Chester See sings flawlessly using his cellphone.


Then, there's this drama queen, Christine who makes me laugh each time I watch her funny version of that song.


Lastly, it's from the creator of the YouTube song, a creative songwriter and producerDavid Choi.


I must say indeed it's a great song to listen.

~Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you, but I wanna sleep... It's too late already~

p/s: My friend used to say "Apologize" is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up.

How to Apologize??

I've been missing for quite some time. There's guilt inside me that force me to do something about it.

I guess it's time to apologize. Here's a written apology from me.

~Sorry for being lazy =)

That's short and sweet. But some of you might think it wasn't a sincere apology due to that reason. Ok, fine.

~Please take me seriously, I acknowledged the damage done on the reputation of this blog as a result of abandoning this blog for 2 months and 22 days, and I apologize for any emotional injuries occurred between that period of time.

That might sounds way too serious. I shall try again.

~As a typical homo sapien who tend to make mistakes, as an employee who spend too much time working and as a son who always make his mom mad, I may be young but I won't allow my lazy hormone glades to take over consciousness nor give up this blog. Therefore, I'm truly, madly and deeply sorry that I'm not always there for you and I'm sorry for the fact that I'm always away.

Long, it is. But a lot of excuses good reasons given. And I do know I might sounded like an artist trying to apologize to the whole world. Yes, referring to Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam aka Akon. Sorry, blame it on me.

Well if all of the above doesn't work for you, I'm going to apologize in 10 different languages to you then.
