Random Blog Post

Here I am, out alone drinking my Neslo Ice, thinking that I should write something for my blog. A smartphone with a data plan really makes it possible anywhere anytime. *Like*

I've not been consistant with my writing lately. Not that it's an occupation, but it should be a passion and passion will die off if we stop pursuing it. Hopefully, by getting a new desktop, I'll be encourage to write more often, haha.

Yup, I'm getting a new desktop soon. A birthday gift I'm getting for myself, haha. No its not my birthday yet. I'm just buying the gift before hand :p

I think I need to becareful with words that I use to write my post these few days. I realize that some of my friends do read my blog and I don't want to give them the wrong idea of what to get me for my birthday next month.

You know how sometimes out of emotion you said you wanted something but when you get what you asked for then you realize its not really something that you want, haha, I don't want that to happened to me. So friends if you are reading this, there is nothing in my blog that can be a hint of what to buy. Well, that is if you ever plan to get me something XD

Okay, I think thats long enough for a post. This post actually showed the standard of my english, haha. No dictionary and no auto correct.

Hey people, thanks a lot for dropping a comment on my posts. I really appreciate it. I will find a time to blog hopping soon and spam comments on your blog!

Until next time, see you around!

Love at First Sight

by Daniel Chiam

"Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?"

I was once a believer, had my moment and now I pretty much moved on. I'm sure there is people out there with a success story about falling in love at first sight, got married, have kids and still live happily together. I wish I was one of those people, but not today.

My brother said, love at first sight is pretty much one sided. We are the one with the strong feeling, and the one we fall in love with is pretty much questions mark. Well, falling in love is the easy part, whatever comes after that, is petty much the up hill climb or down hill fall. 

If no action was taken, it would remain as a mere temporary affection for someone. Questions that has no answers. Feeling that has no response. If you choose to love someone secretly, I would tell you that it is not fun at all. It will cause more heartache rather than happy moment. A path that I strongly wouldn't suggest anyone to choose. *Sigh*

Well, if you really think that person is the one, and you can see a future together, then the best way to go is to pursue your happiness. Get to know them, make friend, be a close friend, get together as a couple, propose, get married and write a post about how the person you married is your love at first sight, haha.

I don't know how to write the second part positively. How to tell people that it is something worth to be cherish, that your infatuation for someone is worth taking the risk and just go for it. I don't have the conviction to say so. My story is pretty much going down hill, where reality hits hard and I have to live with it.

Anyway, that's another different story to tell.

Love at first sight, to me, it can happened to everyone but it would not always turned out right for all of us. It's not a feeling to be avoid, but rather it's a feeling that should be embrace and to just experience it to the fullest. Whatever the outcome of your love story, it is still a life experience that's worth the moment of your time on earth.

After a Week.

It's has been a week since that memorable day. July 9th, Bersih 2.0, hundreds were gathered all around the world, thousands are following the updates on Facebook and Twitter, estimated more than 20,000 Malaysian marched down the street of Kuala Lumpur. Standing up for our freedom, voicing out our rights, voicing out our hope for a better Malaysia, for you and me, and for our children's children.

No, this peaceful rally has no political agenda. No, we are not anti-government. No, we are not representing the opposition party. No, we are not extremist. We are just Malaysian who want to see a better changes for the country.

Through out the week, I have met people who is ignorant, I have friends who disagree, I know people who is against Bersih 2.0. I am very dishearten, sad that they don't see what was been fighting for. All they complaint about is the traffic jam that was caused and the shopping plan that was cancelled.

I don't want to write too long a post just to explain everything. Look around you, if you can read this post I assume that you have an internet connection. Google around, and browse around. Search for the truth yourself and stop being ignorant.

It is not political if I want my children to have the rights and freedom of speech. Where they will not be afraid to voice out what they believe in and actually live life as a free man. I do not want them to live in a country where they would be told what to believe and truth were being kept hidden. 

I want them to grow up loving Malaysia and actually be proud to be a Malaysia. Saya bangsa anak Malaysia!

Until next time, see you around my friend =)

Workout Challenge Week 10

#10. Getting Back Into Sport

First of all, no offence. I'm only 155cm tall and yes, I do get a lot of that crap in the past also. I still love basketball though my dreams and hopes was constantly shattered by unwanted circumstances. Then again that's not the main focus here, haha.

Going to the gym or running alone can be quite a mundane routine sometimes. We'll end up loosing our interest, getting bored, grow tired of it and eventually we'll tend to slacked off from our workout routine. My way of making workout fun - getting back into sport.

I used to eat basketball, drink basketball and sleep basketball. I stopped for a very long while and now, it's just the perfect timing to get back into the game. I've been consistently playing basketball once a week for about 6 weeks now. I have to be honest, it was always one of the time that I look forward to in the weekend.

First of all, is the friends that I get to hang around with and second of all, its my favorite game of all time. Running around and shooting some hoops is some serious exercise too if you are really into it, haha. I'm getting back the old feel now and I have been trying to improve myself in the game.

Well, that's how I do it. Find a sport and engage in it with body and soul. If you joined a gym with classes on, I suggest that you join one of those classes. It'll help you more rather than running alone on the treadmill. Our mission is to not get bored of workout!

Bersih 2.0 weekend. KL people, play safe. Malaysian in general, get ready for changes!

Until next time, see you around my friend =)

Disappear

It's those time again where I will always have the urge to do something stupid to room8five. Like two years before this, before my blog reached another year older, I will delete everything EVERYTHING and start all over again.

I was trying so hard to wipe off all the memories that I kept in here. Sadly, I can't forget some of them and I can't recall those that I wanted to. Either way, it has been a huge lost for me. It's like I have lost a part of my history in life.

Lately I've been thinking of doing the same again. Yes, come next month, room8five has been around for 3 years now. In many ways it has changed my life. The most important thing is that I get to meet all sorts of interesting people through blogging, and a lot more that I wanted to meet in person.

Growth is inevitable, changes is constant and life goes on no matter what. I admit that I am an emotional writer. room8five has been a burst of my feeling ever since day one. When I wanted to quit my Facebook and Twitter account, my friend told me that I actually have the talent to use both of the platform to help make a difference in people's life.

Somehow I am holding on to those words, I didn't quit but yet I didn't know how to make use the best of both also. Half of 2011 is already gone, and the 2nd half already started without even waiting for us. Time will not stop but human can decide when are changes going to take place.

I choose today. Let's make the best out of the 2nd half of the year and make 2011 one of the greatest year for everyone of us! Carpe Diem!

PS: Haha, I didn't plan to delete anything this time. Now onward, I will keep everything as it is. Thanks for the support all this while. Cheers!

Until next time, see you around my friend =)

So Fluffy I'm Gonna Die~!

What's black and white, and is not grey?
Wearing glasses but not in real person.
Cute and fluffy and is not from Malaysia.
Wonder around Sabah but never been to China?

The answer is: Aweyn a.k.a Panda!

Happy Birthday Aweyn ( July 6 ), a blogger friend from Sabah who is a Panda lover. Didn't know her that long but at least we had a good chat for a few time now :D

She asked for a panda thingy, but I'm never good at buying present. So the next best thing and most cost saving thing to do is to post a birthday wish in your own blog, haha. Owh, I found a nice panda picture too! This one is for you Panda!

Cute right?!

I guess that's all. Have a blast with your birthday and all the best in your teaching profession! Terima kasih cikguuuuuuu~!

Until next time, see you around my friend =)

Workout Challenge Week 09

#09. Comfort Zone

After few weeks of workout and visible result, I began to enter the comfort zone which in many ways could jeopardize everything that I have worked so hard before this.

I have been slacking off a few days now, or maybe weeks without even noticing it myself. At the back of my head somehow I tolerate with myself and said that its okay, I can just double my workout tomorrow. When tomorrow comes, I either have something else to do or I procrastinate my workout again.

I guess it applied in life generally. When we are trying to achieve something great, the journey ahead is never easy and most of the time, circumstances will caused us to derailed from the track that we should be taking. That's the reasoning of why we can't walk alone in life, because we always needed someone to put us back on track.

I decided to find a friend to go through the workout session together. Well, I manage to found one and amazingly another two friends is interested in joining also. So I guess my July workout session is not going to be that lonely anymore and I pray that my friend will have mercy on me and did not kill me through gruesome workout, haha.

I am joining his workout programme and I have no idea or any clue of what he has installed for us. Anyway, its time to get serious and burn those fats away! Gambatte to all my comrades that I know is doing their best to maintain a healthy lifestyle. You are not alone! I am working my ass off too, hahaha.

Until next time, see you around my friend =)

Hi There July. Please Be Nice.

I've been writing a lot. I delete and write again. There's just something I wanted to write about but nothing seems to come out right at the moment.

I promise myself that I wanted to be positive starting this month. No matter what happened, I will still put on a smile and blow the trumpet welcoming each second of my life. Marching forward with the spirit of Carpe Diem. Conquering each day with a positive attitude.

I failed badly on the 1st day. Not entirely bad, bad... but I just acted like a jerk and walked off. I told myself, that it will be a 'speak now or forever hold your peace' kind of situation. Perhaps it's just like in the wedding, when you see the about-to-be-married couple is lovingly and happy with each other, you have nothing to speak out. 

Again, I'm not talking about marriage. Just an example I thought of because of the constant listening to the Bruno Mars - Marry You song. Well, with all that said, this month I need to work extra hard to lose some weight. I have been slacking for a couple of days now and I can feel that all the fat that I've lost have miraculously come back to haunt me.

Life is too short to allow all the negativity to take the best out of me. 65KG by August and lets just focus on that and only that and nothing else. 

Until next time, see you around my friend =)
