Bad Habit

When things don't really go your way. Don't be despair. When things around you started to change but not you, then don't feel too left out.

I have no idea why is it that I am okay with changes, I understand that it will happened but accepting it, is some times a really hard thing to do. 

Some times I felt pressure to want to adapt to the whole changes, that I grab hold of just about anything around me that could help me to be apart of the changes.

So sorry for being indirect but I don't feel like singing my song to the world. I just wanted to get something off the chest. Something thats been bugging me for very long now.

I can tell you this. Most of the time its not fun to be me. Low self esteem and lack of confidence is one of my main weaknesses. This is the thing that always never gets me far in whatever I do.

I can't be in a silence for too long or else I'll be able to see every corner of my life. Some times I hate that, because I start to question myself, and I started to doubt myself. 

I know what I can do if I put my heart into it but fear always be the first to greet me.

I just hate the feeling of being so lonely some times. It creeps me, creeps me badly. I'm so scared that I'll managed to learn how to be okay when I detached myself from from friends, from other people and from society. 

I'll end up being a true Lonewolf, and wasted my life in the corner of my own loneliness. Emotionally detached from the world. Thats an ugly scenery. 

I hate to ramble but I just couldn't help myself. ARGH!

Until next time, see you around my friend =)

Merry Christmas Earthling!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Its officially Christmas today and I just felt obligated to write a post for Christmas day.

It was an awesome service just now. Church is always the best place for Christmas countdown. Everyone had a great time there. Just by wishing one another Merry Christmas, singing carols, great message and most of all it a one big happy family there.

Somehow the burden of my heart was lifted up. I really worship hard today, cause I really don't want to go through Christmas by feeling so down.

So today's question goes, Who is the one started the whole gift giving culture during Christmas? Till today, everyone has a habit of giving out gift during Christmas, to their love on and to the needy one.

Hiatus: Christmas Eve

Ho Ho Ho human being! Merry Christmas!

If you noticed, I've been away for awhile now, and if you are a regular, you will know that its a normal thing here. Haha.

A lot of things has been going on ever since my last post. I moved into a new place, which currently still don't have internet yet (I'm writing this post at Andrew's place!), early Christmas dinner with the cell group, again I have no idea why but I keep feeling emo for the past few days now.

Today, I wasn't really feeling happy at work today. Its either I'm emo and I hate my work, or I hate my work and I'm emo. Haha like it or not, I need to hang on to it for awhile. Settling down isn't easy and I just have to take what I got at the moment.

An Emo Post

I just feel like writing an emo post right now. I don't know why exactly I wanted to do that, but I was all emotional the whole day. Sad, SUPER HAPPY, torn apart and then I end up what to feel anymore.

At first I was thinking about lonely Christmas. Oh that feeling really crush my heart. Though my family don't have a proper celebration for Christmas but at least we are there for each other.

Well, that's not the real excuse. I've been celebrating Christmas without my family before and there was nothing to be sad about but this time, somehow I just don't feel 'that' belong in KL like I used to. In a way I do felt a little bit left out.

Pins & Needles - Day 1 Review

As expected, the musical drama is just simply astonishingly amazingly awesome! Its really is something new and different from their last production.

Indeed it has a few Broadway feels in it, but that's not the thing that amazes me the most.

3 things that I truly love about Pins & Needles.

Pins & Needles

City Harvest Production is back again! Its better than ever and its greater than ever! I have been missing out from their production for almost a year and I'm just in time for their final production of the year 2010 entitle "Pins and Needles".

Unlike the previous production before this, I always manage to get a few leaks about what the production is going to be about, but for this new one, I didn't manage to find out about anything at all, BUT I heard that one of the Creative Director just came back from New York, and there is going to be Lady Gaga in there somewhere.

So, I guess its going to be something like a Broadway Fusion or a taste of Broadway plus downtown New York theater. Whatever that is, I am so excited for this up coming production!

One thing for sure, I've been seeing so many production by them and none of it is a disappointment at all. They never failed to capture the attention and emotion of the crowd. I can personally guarantee that it will worth every second of your time by being there.

What I've Learnt about 'Relationship' So Far

by Daniel Chiam

So last week we have this bunch of people who are celebrating a surprise party for two of our dear friends, and one thing leads to another, we started to have this conversation about gender and relationship.

What do guys really think about girls, and about relationship generally. We guys started to talked about it but I really wanted to know the girls opinion on the matter, and also I don't want to missed the chance of having the opportunity to know from girls themselves; what do they really expect from a guy.

I found out 3 things throughout the conversation and here it is:

What to buy for exchanging gift?

I think the most common tradition during Christmas is for people to exchange gift between each other; friends, family, relatives, or with strangers in a Christmas gathering.

The most interesting about the whole exchanging gift is that you will never know what you are going to get and no one know what to expect from you also.

Then again, the most headache part throughout the process is 'what to buy?!'.

Personally it will all come down to 3 major things to be consider about:

Wall Climbing: Triumph!

I seriously think that I should write down Wall Climbing in my resume! Does it in any ways make me look like a hardworking man that will do and endure everything just to get to the top? Haha

I just wanted to personally thank Grace and Kay for giving me such an opportunity to be able to spread my wing and conquer the fear of height.

I do have to admit that I am not that scared of height anymore [(mind over matter) wahahaha ya right!] :D 

Thanks for keep pushing and cheering me till I really reached the top. I almost gave up twice but Grace won't let me down, not until I really drag myself up that wall. Its really is a great sense of achievement once you tap your hand against the top wall. It's like you're finally conquering yourself for the first time.

What Is Christmas?

By now, everyone is getting into the spirit of Christmas. Decorating the house, setting up Christmas tree, buying Christmas presents and learning new Christmas recipes. 

I on the other hand have the utmost privilege to help City Care (a charity group) to set up 2 Christmas tree inside Sunway Pyramid late last night for their Christmas event. It's more than just a tree. Its a Wishing Tree!

The event is called 'Love Is A Verb', where YOU will be given a chance to help fulfill the Christmas wish of Under Privilege Children and OKU (Orang Kurang Upaya) community. It will only takes you 3 easy steps:

#01. Browse the Wishing Tree and choose a wish that you want to help fulfill.

#02. Get the item on the list.

#03. Hand over the gift along with your wishing card back to the City Care volunteers, and they will make sure your gift will be given to the person that you had choose to fulfill their Christmas wish list.

Friday Night Rock: Blink 182

I heard the trio are reunited again for a new album release in 2010. Hopefully the news is true and that I am able to get their album as a Christmas gift for myself :D

At the mean time, lets just enjoy a Christmas song from Blink 182 - Won't Be Home For Christmas. 

Until next time, see you around my friend =)

Christmas Spirit Is On!

I've been blog hopping and everyone is talking about one thing and yes you guessed it.... CHRISTMAS! 

Christmas decor, tree, railing, ornament, eggnogs, gift, loves one, holiday and yes the Year End Sales! I enjoy reading all your post and I too, wish that I could have that Christmas switch button to turn on.

The thing is, I was never a typical Christmas person. All my Christmas was spend wondering where to go, what to do and how to avoid going back to Kampung.

Don't get me wrong, I never hated Kampung, I just don't like the monginum part. None of them there is a moderate drinker and everyone drinks to get drunk and get ugly. I don't wish to be those kind of people and so I avoid mingling around with them. Orang Sabah kuat minum, yes I am a Sabahan and I also kuat minum but I choose not to get drunk.

Rock Review: My Chemical Romance - Danger Days

room8five rates: 7.5/10

 "Everybody wants to change the world, everybody wants to change the world. But no one wants to die, wanna die?"

A line from their first single "Na Na Na" from the new album "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys", MCR has evolved from the guy who was in the marching band of The Black Parade into a group of outlaws known as The Killjoys.

3 reason why you will love "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys".

#01. If you heard songs from the band before, then you know this album is so much different from who they were being labeled as in the past. For a band to detached themselves from being who they were thought to be and come out with something so much different conceptually, lyrically and musically its takes a lot of guts and worth to be given the appraisal.
