Five for Fighting - 100 Years

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Gemini

Gemini go everywhere together, hand-in-hand, symbolizing the dual nature. Our world comes in pairs: good and evil, male and female, in and out, yin and yang -- and Geminis are living proof. Some might say Gemini are an entanglement of paradoxes, but the truth is that Gemini have an easy acceptance of opposites. Gemini world is one of duality. Gemini can like this and that, one thing and its opposite. It's like you see your world through a radio and Gemini can tune experiences and points of view in and out as your interests change.

Geminis are curious, talkative, versatile and mentally active. The mind can bounce around from one topic to another with great ease, making Gemini the champion of cocktail party chatter and lighthearted social encounters. Others will think that Gemini are fun to be with, but the ability to change with the changing winds can also lead others to see Gemini as shallow.

Note: Now I know why each time when we yum cha, we always divert from our original topic....

Gemini motto might be "A rolling stone gathers no moss." You are the eternally youthful child, no matter your chronological age. A razor-sharp wit can have you verbally dueling with the very best of opponents, who moments later are your best of friends. As you fly through life, don't forget to take time to smell the flowers.

Note: Occasionally, there will be some 'abuchiak' or 'ang gu gu' flying around... Also, not forgetting the 'provocation' session once a while... Hhmmm....

Spot the people.... Kekeke .... I really like this pictures, bring good memories that make me laugh....

Cuti-Cuti Malaysia Part 2 : May 2007

Fuyohhh!!!! After Melaka, the next destination was up North, all the way from KL to Sungkai, Ipoh and Taiping.... Thanks to Nick and Addy... Once again, 'san fu sai' to bring us to these interesting places... What was waiting for us this time?

To summarise : Hot spring, caves, lots of temple, animals, lake, HK star (yes, even HK star :P), laughter, food, food and food.....


1: TRAP Sungai Klah



Can I say that the main objective of this trip is to walk into a trap? Kekeke.... TRAP a.k.a Taman Rekreasi Air Panas Sungai Klah is situated in FELDA. We read that there are over 20,000 visitors each month, so we started the journey as early as 6am from KL.... As the result of that, we were the first few visitors of the day and manage to occupy a pool with + 30 degree to ourselves. Not enough with the dim sum in our stomach, we had hard boiled egg there... My first hard boiled egg from a hot spring....



And... Dung!!!! I dropped it. Luckily got an aunty kind enough to help me to pick it up... xie xie arr ...

Besides, hard boiled egg, i got my leg cooked too.... Red 'boh'?

Yin and Yang theory... After hot hot,of course we would like cold cold too... How? Cendol is the answer...





2. Ipoh

What is famous in Ipoh? None other than the 'Nga Choy Kai' and also the 'Hor Fun'...

Besides food, there are a lot of caves... All with 3 words on it... So, what's the difference? The best part is on our way to Kek Look Tong, the way is around the housing areas.... With signs under / behind a tree or outside people's house, it really tested our sights.... :P







3. Taiping

I supposed to be the guide but, but.... I failed miserably... The only place I know is my po po house lorr ... Kekeke... That's why we ended turning round and round and round the small town. Luckily, the town is not big enough for us to get lost... At the bright side, we get to see more places at Taiping rite? Blink blink... Good also... I never been around the town at late night (since 26 years ago) Now I know Taiping people like to gather at mamak to watch football match. No tables or chairs available? Not a problem... Still got my bike what...

What was waiting at Taiping le? Beautiful lake, night safari, sumptuous breakfast (the picture explained it all) and a peaceful mind.... Eh... wait... With activated '8' cell, we actually peeked at people fighting.... Hahaha....

So, where is our next destination? Up or Down? Left or Right?

Hungry....

Sorry arr... Very shaky video... Ekeke...

Something to share with you all:

Once upon a time, there was a very strong man. He asked for a job from a timber merchant, and he got it. The pay was really good and so were the work conditions. For that reason, the man was determined to do his best. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he is supposed to work. The first day, he brought down 18 trees. The Boss was very much impressed and said, "Congratulations Go on that way!" Very motivated by the words of the boss, he tried harder the next day, but only could bring down 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder, but he could only bring down 10 trees. Day after day he was bringing down less and less trees. "I must be losing my strength", he thought to himself. He went to the Boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on. "When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" the boss asked. "Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been busy cutting trees."

The 'prawn behind the noodle' is:

Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don't take time to sharpen the axe. In today's world, it seems that everyone is busier than ever, but less happy than ever. Why is that? Could it be that we have forgotten how to stay sharp? There's nothing wrong with activity and hard work. But we should not get so busy and neglect the truly important things in life, like our personal life, taking time to care for others, taking time to read etc. We all need time to relax, to think and meditate, to learn and grow. If you don't take the time to sharpen the axe, we will become dull and lose our effectiveness.

So, i should start thinking how to be more effective and at the same time, plan lots of lots of holiday ahead so that I will have something to look forward to.... In that way, I will be happier and motivated.... :P

Finally....

Finally....

I got what I wanted for since.... I also don't remember.... It had been so long... Each time when I saw people having one or using it, I envied them.... Although my friends are good and kind enough to let me use it each time when we went for a trip, it's not the same....

Now, I want to use it efficiently.... If possible, anytime, anywhere.... To capture the moment....

Finally.... kekeke....

Picnic of the Year

It's a bit late to blog about this... But, better late than never laa... Ching Ming Festival to me is the day when we all go to the tomb to pay our respects to my 'ah kong' and 'ah poh'... Have some food and chit chat... A family picnic day!

So, i've decided to do some research, and this is what I found on wikipedia:

The Qingming Festival, or Ching Ming Festival as called in Hong Kong, Clear and Bright Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival on the 104th day after the winter solstice (or the 15th day from the Spring Equinox), usually occurring around April 5 of the Gregorian calendar. Every leap year, Qing Ming is on April 4. Astronomically, it is also a solar term. In solar terms, the Qingming festival is on the 1st day of the 5th solar term, which is also named Qingming. Its name denotes a time for people to go outside and enjoy the greenery of springtime, and also to tend to the graves of departed ones.

For the Chinese, it is a day to remember and honour one's ancestors. Young and old pray before the ancestors, sweep the tombs and offer food, tea, wine, chopsticks, (joss) paper acessories, and/or libation to the ancestors. The rites are very important to most Chinese and especially farmers. Some people carry willow branches with them on Qingming, or put willow branches on their gates and/or front doors. They think that willow branches help ward off the evil ghosts that wander on Qingming. Also on Qingming, people go on family outings, start the spring plowing, sing, dance, and Qingming is a time where young couples start courting. Another popular thing to do is fly kites (in shapes of animals, or characters from Chinese opera).

The April Fifth Movement and the Tiananmen Incident were major events on Qingming that took place in the history of the People's Republic of China. When Premier Zhou Enlai died in 1976, thousands visited him during the festival to pay respect. In the Republic of China, April 4th coincides with the passing of Chiang Kai-shek and the date is designated as a national holiday.

Hanshi, the day before Qingming, was created by Chong'er, the Duke Wen of the state of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period when he accidentally killed his personal friend and servant Jie Zhitui (介之推) (or Jie Zitui) and his mother in a fireblaze in the hope of making him return to him (Chong'er). On Hanshi, people were not allowed to use fires to heat up food, thus nicknaming it the Cold Food Festival. Eventually, 300 years ago, the Hanshi "celebration" was combined with the Qingming festival, but later abandoned by most people.

Qingming itself was created by the Tang Emperor Xuanzong in 732. It is said that because the wealthy held too many expensive, elaborate ancestor-worshipping ceremonies, in a needed effort to lower this expense, Emperor Xuanzong declared that respects could be formally paid at ancestor's graves only on Qingming.

Well, i do not realise that Ching Ming is such an important day. I always wonder why my dad would insist that the day is more important than the Chinese New Year.

Mr Sunshine appeared from the cloud, breaking the morning mist.

This year the interior designer himself decided to go down the field and perform his art. Should do that every year, ah kor...

Young and old, preparing for the prayers...

Chicken, duck, pork, fruits, kuih, kopi-o, Guinness Stout, vegetarian food, etc... I remembered we used to have ice cream also when my granduncle from Kepala Batas joined us...

After presenting the food to my 'ah kong' and 'ah poh', we started to feel hungry too... Drooling... Tossing coins is the way to ask whether we can also start eating...

'Chin Tui' - some kuih make from glutinous rice powder... That's what my dad told me... Ng's family favourite... Only my 阿姆 know how to make it...

"Let me teach you how to 'kopek' the sugar cane with your teeth"

After a sumptuos meal, time to burn the offerings to my 'ah kong' and 'ah poh'... Maybe I would buy a car and a driver for them next year... Hmmm...

Burn to ashes. Hopefully, the postal delivery system is good enough, making sure that my 'ah kong' and 'ah poh' will receive our offerings

From no sunlight to too much sunlight, people start to put on huge pasar malam umbrella. It's a busy busy day with a lot of peaple this year...
