A year in Tokyo and Not in KL

Woo.... It is still cannot imagine i have been in this metro-city over a year. What I learned, I earned, I listened and I shared, I really really appreciated and enjoyed. I have experienced what I have never ever get again, i presumed! But, I still have to thank all the people who lend their hand for me and share all the happiness and grieves. I am supposed a guy who really active, over-active, sensitive and sensible, but i might be the one who extremely go beyond it, but in here i truly learn to give and take, still in learning.

A year ago, i was single then change my status to Not-available!!! Super-Married gal. It is again i am the most gifted and lucky guy had my current lovely wife. I thank her comprehensiveness and forgiveness of my Unsound job! superb unsound and insensible job that no one really go on it. I really cannot carry on this way i believe. I have to decide to get it out of me sooooooooooooon.

So, next to my coming lovely baby girl, i wish i will carry you once you born from time to time forever, i believe i will. No one leave their family for the sake of the sake, what sake? You take then you have to give it back or let go. Sure, nothing is perfect, no one wanna be the perfect guy in this wonderful world, not even a super-----------man, for what to super?

Just be ordinary? who else would be, someone or anyone want to be. Ya, no one. But once you are no longer to get satisfaction, you are no longer to be. I feel tired of this life with WANT. no body like it but it is life to get along and get by.

malaysians in Mahathir restaurant of Tokyo

It is spring time in Tokyo, everyone feels great in every time and everywhere. The PM get ready to buy us big dinner, in a malaysian ipoh-based restaurant called 'Mahathir Restaurant', for no sake.



Everyone looks great and high-spirited in this gathering, sounds like out of the jail.



The restaurant owner is a Japanese and married with a malaysian Ipoh girl for more than 20 years in Tokyo. The hostess told us that in early to mid of 90's, the restaurant is full of malaysian who 'grab golds' (illegal worker) in Tokyo. Then later, most of them get caught and send back to malaysia for illegal entrance, the restaurant sales also get impacted. Now, only those who get business trip and malaysian student in Tokyo still support the restaurant business. oh....luckily we enter in Legal passport VISA, geee.


He drunk! She sulks!

It is really the enjoyable and cheerful to get the tasteful malaysian food in Tokyo.

the Land of Disney or Dream?

Disneyland, a wonderland with joyful and blissful for all the children and toddlers. So, a man like me suppose not to be in here? why? because I do not belong here and not my land anymore. Sleeping Beauty, Alice in the wonderland, Snow White and the 7 drawfs, Winnie the Pooh's, Tom and Jerry, Donald Duck, and Mickey Mouse.....it is full of Disney cartoons, and lovely story we have known since we were kids.



It was all my old old time story, but I have no more tales to tell in my early 30 yet. Probably, my wife, kids and family to get together in here would inspire me to be grateful and fruitful for our family Land in future.

a French gentleman meets with a Malaysian lady

Again, it is another Big chance for the old folks and foes gathering!


Congratulation, Bee Ean and Fabien!

ReUnion and ReSolution

Oh cool...

I have a wonderful reunion in this chinese new year of boar. I believe every chinese around the world get my word. It is just like a Christmas day, Hari raya puasa or Deepavali celebration.

scHoolmates

We met family, relatives and friends we have long time not or never come across. We felt happy of someone's tying the knots, great of someone's promotion, regret of someone's leaving. On the other hand, we might feel jeoulousy of someone's tying the knots, humble of someone's promotion, smile of someone's leaving. It is not a problem what ever we might think, it is just a session or topic we have to face and then leave it later. But it is meaningful and fruitful to get together with all the people.

eX-colleagues

We have celebrated it from year to year, and we have made new year resolution for ourselves, I am not sure anyone really think it back of what we have or have not fulfilled for the past year resolution. Probably, one or two has been achieved! and the rest what to do? Ummph, just try another year to make it true? or just ignore it? I am not what others do, but I just made what i have to achieve from short-term and long-term plan. Isn't it clear to make and keep it instead of break it our own, so make the simple and achievable but it is what we have to do it to widen our mind and get ourselves grow up!

courSemates

Sounds simple, I believe whoever think as what I expect either! But, I believe only those who put the plan down to ground, only will get the result no matter good or bad, but we have to act on it to do the best we can and Experienced it. A dream never come true when no action come along, and an action never achieved when no Dream at all! So, both have to carry out together and monitor and control and improve. Oppps it sounds like Management? I think so, don't you!

SLCCC-coLLeagues

Happy re-Union in 2007 CNY and look forwards to coming years!

Get home

What a wonderful time at home. Ya, probably only those have left home for sometimes or on stint would get me thoroughly. Why? Initially I really NOT experience the homesick feeling since i was born for the past the 30 years, not either get through those outstationed-dudes' sober and miserable, especially for the season of love and Chinese NY gathering time.

Probably i really had get by easily and took it for granted what i have around me. Ya sure, practise make you experience of a happening but not perfect, perfect just makes your DESIRE till not end and isolated. So, now the stint on oversea makes me more MATURE and tolerance, i will do the best to grow out it from time to time soon, yo!

I believe the married life also more or less change my thinking to be more reponsibility to my love wife ya, also my parents and family. What makes me so tremedously sudden change? I think, ya, a man and a guy difference will loom easily after tying the knots. Then, it is not a symbol of getting old but to go up to a new next phase in the life cycle i had never exposed to! cool, I believe this is what we have to get through and take on the new challenge we have to act on it instead of just a pure plaining dream.

Bali

Bali, a place you never know it is basically so different from the other area of Indonesia. Probably it is a tourism place for every one to get through once for a vacation. I believe it is still full of Hindu-Bali culture no one can be denied that I really respect, for its history, its culture and its natural other than only the sea, sand and sun.

Why one have to really get relax or laid-back time only in a vacation? For re-charged of the tireness or pressure, or just a yearly routine for a breakaway? I am not sure. But mine is simple, with my new-wedded lovely wife.

It is fun and fantastic just to have with your love one in anyway but i still believe this great 3.2 millions population island will definitely make us not to forget our enjoyable momery in here!

Rainy, Windy & Sunny Autumn

It is really unpredictable of Tokyo weather. It could be few rainy days, and then windy and sunny for the next few days in the autumn. Basically, I am really surprised that there could be a hot sunny day but still windy in Tokyo autumn days. A bit unbelievable for me from all day hot in KL.

Gee, it is cool and chilled out later!!!!!

Tokyo daily round trip

Wau, what a wonderful working holiday trip in Tokyo! Today is Tokyo public holiday, named Aged respectful day. God i have never been come across so meaning holiday in KL. Well it reminds everyone should and must to respect those aged and senior, because we will be the Aged one day!!!

So, take the chance to go around Tokyo city and street. There is one day trip train ticket of Metro train line for 1ooo yen!!! I started the journey from Imperial Palace, Tokyo Dome, Ikebukuro, Nisin-Shinjuku, Roppongi Hills, Ometo-sando and back to Shibuya!!! Wow, it is really the hectic, exhausted but meaningful day.

Uummph, I am really impressed by the Japanese culture, the city scenery and the cleanliness of Tokyo, which yet not have been found in KL (Not all but also not less, KL still with the good food and greenliness). Emh, I believe every city still has its own unique and landmark.

Yokohama

A great and contemporary port town outside the city of Tokyo. It is crowded and packed.

Just have the breathtaking view of Yokohama Port on top of Sogo building.

Harajuku, Tokyo youngster street

It is the hot and humid day! Anyway, I have to pay salute and respect to these youngsters who really makes themselves up and dresses themselves up. They takes it for the granted and honorable to be so energetic ans awesome in here in every week. It is for the sake of their courage, fun, fashion and enjoy in this lovely stage. Then, all the visitors gathered around to 'kill' the photos with them in this funky show time.

Ironically, The Meiji Shrine is next to this. Cool or not, they really didn't care and ignored others perception!

Moody and emotional

I believe that everyone has down and low mood time, evenif we know it is bad for health and mind. But, I think it is the way to relieve, relax and loose out all bad tempers from pressure. Am I right or wrong?

Sometimes, just a irritating phone call, an annoying voice or song, a mischievious thinking or an overwhelming passion from someone you dislike really really get on my nerves. I try to calm down and control my mind, but still I loose it out simply. I think it was a naturaly responses and nothing to do with any self-esteem or personal characteristic. Do I need to change my mind again or it was just a loser? I am still figuring out and pondering it over and over.

No one want to behave it so ridiculous, foolish, irrational and absurd when we have been an adult or a mature. Still, I have to learn again again again and again from all these blunders in the process of life...

We weep and sob, because we feel touched;
We think and change, because we get understood;
We go ahead if we stumble, because we get inspired
from someone who share and stand by us.

Esprit de corps or Malaysia Boleh?

I just get a funny? or insulting? or sarcastic? forwarding email: Malaysia_Boleh.pps

After savouring this presentation, I felt ashame of myself. It would be probably I am out of the one who keep on complaining, grumbling, and showstopping. It has been happened in our life, work or social life. I can't imagine how much I have put the effort in completing a task on time with team spirit and without any procastination.

Why we (I) can't make ourselves calming down and relax the mind in order to listen and understand others' feeling before we really give our opinion and thoughts? Because we are self-centered? or self-egoness? or we just want to win in whatever circumstances. I was the one and still the one yet. So, I have been started to change my mind and do it in practically, mentally and physically. I keep on seeking advice and opinion in anything I am confused and lost from whoever in knowing it well. I know this would be a bit naive, over-reaction, or over-passionate about doing it, but I believe we are running out of time in doing and learning good thing for contributing the society, if we still stand still without proper belief and positive behavior.

Then, if we have stumbled down thoroughly and how should we raise up ourselves? we find our weakness and strength or we just find fault and blame others? The discouragement, distraction and discord will keep on overflowing in everyone minds, it is becomes a bad habit or a culture which already 'cultivated'! Goss! But the main weakness or defect is actually come from 'Communication', 'Thrust' and 'Esprit de corps'!

We don't communicate well and understandingly with others, we 'THINK' others know it?
We don't thrust others sincerely and candidly, we 'THINK' others have the same thought?
We don't work as team thoroughly, we 'THINK' others will do our part?

So, can we achieve our objective as what we have planned? maybe or probably on par.
Do everyone understand the main problem come from? The failure of the management or the Misunderstanding?

The answer: 'Communication', 'Thrust' and 'Esprit de corps'! Definitely comes with 'Rewards' when we achieve it successfully!

It is difficult to find a good friend who can help and inspire you.

I just read a Buddhist article lectured by Dharma Master Cheng Yen,
[The Buddha said:"It is difficult to find a good friend who can help and inspire you." It is difficult enough to distance yourself from gossips and bad friends, and even more so to meet a friend who can really help and inspire you.

And what is to be expected of such a friend?
It is someone who can inspire your conscience and wisdom;
It is someone who guides you and helps solve your problems;
It is someone who transports you from the dark land of the ordinary person to the bright realm of the sage.

Yet in reality, how many people like this people, who help you smooth out your worries, round off your sharp edges and remove your biases, can be found?]

Anyway, i am a free thinker, but i accept whatever religious good belief for good sake of people.

Share another thought i believed most of us have learnt it in school.
[Confucius said,"When three men walk together, one of them must be my teacher; I will choose to follow what is good and correct what is not good."
meaning: When I am in the company of two other persons, there must be someone who I can learn from, who can be my model, while thre must be someone whose mistakes will also teach me a lesson. When we see what is not good in a person, we will reflect on our own actions and warn ourselves not to be like him. We see in him actions that are offensive and temperament that is disagreeable. This person actually deserves our gratitude because they are living examples of what we should not be. On the other hand, we should emulate the virtuous person because he represents the bright side of life. He has a positive attitude that brings joy to other people and admiration unto himself. And this is the person that we should learn from.]

A friend in need is a friend indeed. A friend to all is a friend to none.
