Crazy Trip!

7th of June, 2014, a day to remember, never quite thought of me doing such thing in my life. Woke up 6.15am, hopped in my vehicle by 7am, went to KL Sentral, picked up Ms Tai Wai Yee, who woke up by 4am, took 5am train from Kampar to KL, met up with me, took the breakfast, then started our today's journey, Jayden Loh Meng Hao baby visiting day!

Wait, who's Jayden Loh Meng Hao? Answer, the first born of Tommy Loh Chee Han!

Well, it is not a big deal of visiting a friend of mine once in a while some might say. The reason why I called this a crazy trip, because it was a day trip! We went all the way to Kluang, Johor from KL, Kampar for WaiYee, to pay this little cute baby a short visit, about 3 hours, then we hopped back in my car, started driving back to KL, and Ms Tai required to take another 2 hours train home. Wait, how long was the journey from KL to Kluang? Well, we got stuck in the traffic, spent about 4 hours each way, so, do the math! So, Yes, it was crazy!

Anyway, it definitely worth the drive to meet up some old university friends, especially the baby Jayden Loh. I never quite see a baby with that much of facial expressions! And for the first time of my life, I got despised by a baby!!! 

He was smiling to WaiYee, but cried on me! Duh! What a bummer! Which lead me to believe, that's the Tommy's boy, like father like son, always the pretty girls! Hahahaha...

that's his look with me!

he smiles!

Well, it is fun to meet some old friends, chit chat about our life after long part, going down the memory land, and nevertheless, this little cute baby Jayden, who refused to give me a smile after all, these made the trip count! 

This is my first met with Waiyee since last year July, and Tommy since his wedding on Dec, 2011. So much had changed since then, Tommy is a father now, and yet I still looking for the path of my life. It is good to see friends go on with the next stage of life, and relieve to see some stick to me, stuck at the current stage of life, hahahaha.

We will come and knock the next person's door in real soon. Because it is just awesome to meet some old friends!

汤杯-崛起?

两年一届的汤杯在昨晚落幕了。今年的汤杯可以说是黑马的时代，日本以3:0推到了中国长城，而大马则在不别看好的情况下一路高歌杀进了决赛。

老实说，我已经有很长一段时间没有关心我国的羽球了，也许是因为不忍心看大马羽球霸业逐渐的衰落，也许只是我自己不再对羽球有着深厚的兴趣了。

今年汤杯的赛程我已没有关注，大马的首发球员里，我也只知道拿督李，和陈文宏，多谢myfm，我最起码知道古健杰已经离开国家队了，呵呵。张维峰，刘国伦的名字到也不至于完全没有印象，但是也只是只知其名，不知其人。对他们最大的印象就是他们还是不能接拿督李的班啊。男双就更槽糕了，我就只知道陈文宏。所以一开始我对大马今年在汤杯的情景，实在不看好啊。

事与人违啊，事与人违。

当全国人民都觉得今年的汤杯应该也是无望之际，大马队却一路高歌的杀入决赛。当我知道他们打赢韩国时，我有些讶异，哦？竟然打赢了？那时我知道了张维峰，这位我眼里的小兵，拼赢了。

再后来，又听说打败了丹麦，眉毛又挑了挑，张维峰竟然又赢了。再看看成绩，大马以3:1姿态闯进了半决赛。这时才发现，咦，大马第二男双好像不错哦，也和张维峰一样，一路闯关斩将的为大马队献上最重要的一分。反观第一男双，唉。。。

再接下来，看到的是，中国被日本以3:0横扫，这惊吓我想不比中国队来的小，怎么可能？然后才发现，日本在决赛的对手竟然是大马？！哇，今年是怎么了，我的第一念头，呵呵。

结果，昨晚，我看了今年第一场的羽球赛，也许该说是在奥运后的第一场羽球赛吧，坐在电脑前，看了接近6个小时的球赛，过程中有不时的叫喊，也有赢了过后我很兴奋的拍了一下掌，小举了双手，呵呵。

拿督李宗伟，最可靠的第一男单。

陈文宏，云天豪，虽然输了，但是大家的反应应该都是“爽”啊。

张维峰，这是我看的第一场他的比赛，和我听说的，差距很大呢？他赢了4场，输了最重要一场，但是，他一路上的表现足以为荣。

吴伟申，陈炜强仍然表现出色，虽然在丢了一分下，奋起直追，2:1为大马赢下一分，让球赛进入另一个高峰。

刘国伦，虽然一路上的表现真的不是很好，但是拼了，就差一点就逆转了，也许有点不甘，但是起码全国都看到了希望。

盼望这不是终点，而是另一个起点。输了汤杯，但是却让大马球员看到自己更多的可能性，和发展性，也希望，这成绩不是他们成长的绊脚石。毕竟,在这几场的比赛上,还是能看的出大马男单的薄弱啊。

希望未来的体育版上，能看到他们报捷的新闻！继续加油吧！

不仅的想，如果大马队遇上了中国队，是否也能让中国队感到如此的吃力呢？

Exercise

Lately I hit the gym almost every weekends, well, almost. When I was at my hometown then I will leave that idea behind and continue with my sleep in the morning.

Forget to mention, there is a small but free gym room provided by my apartment. I dont have any extra money to pay for the montly fees and certainly I am not a very hardworking people who will hit the gym 7 days a week, and spend hours with it.

I normally am a jogger,  trackmill is the equipment that I used the most. Well, I dont have a strong mind about body building but I do feel like to train my stamina. You know when people grows old, sometimes does feel like the age starting to do work on me, haha. Sometimes I did do some weight lifting and sit up to maintain a bit.

I try it very hard to make sure I able to finish 5km within 30 minutes. I am a guy with less patient I believe, I dont like spend hours in the gym given I am serious sweating people and the gym too warm to stay long. So I always start with 10km per hour speed then increase after 10 minutes then decrease after another 10 minutes, depends on my capability of that day.

It is seriously exhausting, and I started to wonder how these people able to finish 10km marathon and some even 40km? Given the experience on the trackmill, I kind of back off from the marathon run in the town. Dude, 10km is a serious distance, and I dont trust myself with that kind of stamina, haha. However I am now trying to train my stamina, perhaps few years later I could finish 10km without breaking a sweat, nah, I doubt it!!!

Second attempt

A lot of people asked the same question when they knew about my trip to KK mountain this year, May, 23rd. Why did you want to try again? 

Yupe, that's the question that i also had no much clue about why i wanted to go for second time. It's not like i never tried the hike before, but why spent all the money, time and energy to go for second time? It was so much expensive compared to the first time. Hmmm, well, i guess part of me wanted to go with my colleagues, then part of me, think of, why not second time? Hiking is fun, and might have different experience, fun with different group of people.

So, 23rd May 2013, i set my foot at Mesilau entrance again, began my second journey to Laban Rata, and submit peak! 

It had been three years, and this time, i didnt practice much like the first time. So i was a bit worry before i started. But guess what, it proved that i am still as strong as years ago, haha. As a matter of fact, this year, i achieved a better result. Reached Laban Rata by 3pm, well, could've been even earlier, but one of my friend, suffered from altitude sickness, especially when it came to the last 1 km to Laban Rata. 

However, unlike the first time, i wasnt able to sleep at night, kept my eyes opened until 1am, that's a great torture! 

Three years ago, i was a lone ranger, i walked by my own, and able to reach the peak just passed 5am, sat there, and witnessed the rose of the sun! And it was freaking cold up there, and i was waiting for the others too. 

This year, i dont have to be alone, because two friends able to catch up my steps, hahahaha. To be exact, there was one even fitter than me, and is a she!  However, we missed the chance to witness the sunrise at the peak, we were 30 minutes late, reached peak by 5.40am. 

Then me and my colleague, went crazy wild when we were on our way from Laban Rata to Timbohon. We practically run down! Took 2 hours and 30 minutes reached Timbohon gate! We stopped for like 10-15 minutes to grab a bite at the last 1 km. Then spent the rest of the time waiting for the others to reach, ate, and went back to hotel. Luckily we got 12 people, which separated into two vans, so we only needed to wait for another 3-4 people then we could just left to the hotel.

Just when i thought i was no longer as fit as three years ago, i managed to impress myself on this trip. My backpack, was 11 kg, while three years ago, it was only 9 kg. I put on weight not to mention, which increased the burden to my knees yet i was still manage to reach to Laban Rata almost 1 and half hour earlier than my first time, and not to mention the 2 hours and half crazy run to Timbohon.

I only knew 4 of them people before this

Ranking of stepping on Laban Rata, ya, the first one was a girl!

Mighty THREE

Do i want to give a third try? Hmmm, well, maybe, and actually, very likely i would give it a third try, if given chance. Haha

Fall, so that we might learn to pick ourselves up!

"Why do we fall? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up." 

                                                        -- Batman Begins 2005

Yesterday, 5/5/2013 marked a significant milestone in Malaysia. It was our 13 general election, and everyone in town seems to be so passion to be a part of the event. People came back to their origins from all over the states, some from overseas, to cast their votes, to voice their rights.

Ubah! People started to realize this is the time for us to have a new start, a new government, a new Change. Let's not to talk about what politicians had done to make to the covers, to gain more supports, because it was all over the facebook, and frankly, I didnt even bother to look any of them. BN showing what they had done for this country, while the oppositions party in the other hand showing what BN had done to this country. And then, both parties do have one thing in common, of course, the ability of making promises. 

I actually dont really give a damn to any of these, because deep down, we are all aware of the stories behind, very well aware of the claim of 'goodness', 'contribution'  done to this country. As for the all promised promises, well, you can give all kind of promises, but at the end of the day, will them be achieved,  it is debatable.

The reason of bringing this out, was that too much information spamming on the facebook. It is one good thing to remind the people in this country, people like me, who never quite give a damn to the politic, finally straighten our sights onto it, but when everything is overflown everywhere, i started to feel annoyed. And you started to realize, some of your friends, are such a drama queen, haha. Ermm, maybe it was me, being less passionate. Gosh, kind of feel like i am a jerk right now.

Anyway, this morning, my senior was chatting with me, and he asked is it the result is not expected. I answered, nope, the result was very much expected, but i was hoping for an unexpected result. Ya, deep down in my heart, i knew with all the efforts we done, the PKR politicians hard work, i wouldnt say it was all gone, but it was definitely unpaid worthy! 

Last night was a magical night, and this magic show brought along a lot of broken hearts, and the disappointment toward this country's future. However, we come around, PKR might lose, but with dignity, and wins the hearts, this battle isnt over just yet. 

What happened last night, will always stay with Malaysian, i believe this story will pass by one generation to another, and kind of feel bad for some of the guys, they aint going to gain a good name or good fame after last night, they might be laughing, celebrating now, but i am still feel so bad for them, and especially their children, their coming generations, because they will be one to taste the fruits that seed by their ancestors last night.

I quoted a quote from Batman Begins, "Why do we fall? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up." Today, we fall, we were beaten up by all kind of plots and schemes, but we are not defeated, we will pick ourselves up, and we will keep fighting, for the next 5 years, then the coming next, and the next. If everything stays the still, and nothing change, eventually, the unchanged will be replaced, because that's the rule, nothing remains the same, except the CHANGE itself. 

3/08/2008 was a wake up call, 5/5/2013 was a booster, we shall see what's next! Let's fight for the right!

      

Country Music

Lately, i always listen to country songs. I used to listen to pop songs, but i found it is nice to listen to country songs once in a while.

I started to know country music only after i watched American Idol 2005, which was won by Carrie Underwood. Well, back then, i didnt realize there is a music genre known as country music. And i wasnt listening to English songs. 

But i wasnt really a country music fan until like, three years ago. One of the reason was that i didnt have the channel because you got to admit, pop, rock, rap music are taking the lead internationally. So when i started to listen to English songs, it always be the pop genre, because i am no fan of rock and rap.

Then i discovered this radio broadcast website that allow people around the world to listen to all hits for all genres. It is www.live365.com, you can find all sort of music genres there. That's when i really started to listen to country songs. 

Back then, i only knew Carrie Underwood, and of course, Taylor Swift. But then the circle started to expand, i started to know more and more country artists, more and more country songs in my playlist.

Today, i am sharing some of my playlist songs.

Luke Bryan - Buzzkill

Jason Aldean - Big Green Tractor

Ronnie Dunn - Bleed Red

Josh Turner - Your Man

Chris Young - Tomorrow

Eric Church - Sprintsteen

Carrie Underwood - Good in Goodbye

Carrie Underwood - Temporary Home

Kelly Clackson - Dont Rush

Little Big Town - Pontoon

Lady Antebellum - Down Town

Dierks Bentley - Home

Compare to female singers, i prefer male singers, i think it got some thing to do with the deep tone, haha.

Academic Country Music (ACM) awards 2013 just passed few weeks ago. One of the biggest winners of the night, Miranda Lambert, sadly, she seems to be a very nice person, but i am not a fan of her music, but got to admit, you can truly call her music as the real country music, but i always find her music a bit too rough for me. And i was a bit upset as Carrie Underwood didn't win any awards.

Some people finds country musics boring, because, it is country! But i am very much enjoy myself with it.

路上驾驶，亦如人生

路上驾驶，亦如人生

一个错误的转弯，

一个错失的入口，

也许就得花更多的时间，和精力，

才能到达目的地。

不过也许，

可能，

一个错误，结果走出了，

找到了，捷径，

更快到达目的地。

我们短短的一生，

多多少少都会有错失的机会，

或，错误的选择。

但是，

是不是每个错失的机会都后悔莫及？
是不是每个错误的选择都是跌跌撞撞呢？

分开以后

在逛youtube的时候，

发现了这首歌。

我承认，我最近真的都没有在听中文歌，

也只有在车上，听电台时，

才听听如今流行的歌曲。

不过，这歌，我倒是没有在电台里听到，

也许有，也许没有，

但是，我绝对是没有什么印象。

《分开以后》- Fuying & Sam

第一次听的时候，

真的有触动我心。

也许是一开始的口白，让我对这歌更有感觉，

所以当副歌的第一句下的时候，

我心里泛起了一股酸楚，

一种，分开以后，迟来的觉悟。

但是，只是说一句，

我比较喜欢Fuying的声线，

有点想听Fuying的独唱。

因为，多听了几轮，

最触动我心的，是这歌的第一句。

也听了女生的版本，

感觉也不错，

但是还是喜欢男生版本。

枯竭

最近的生活，有点行尸走肉，每天的生活都介于起身，上班，下班，睡觉。一天过一天，一日复一日，渐渐的，人生枯燥了，思绪滞留了。

以前，很努力的更新自己的部落格，但是，最近，懒，非常的懒，没了动力，也没了创意的灵感。

其实每天工作的生活就不是如此的枯燥，相反，很多事情值得留下一笔，但是，当一切的思绪滞留时，什么事情都能写成了枯燥，无聊，因为，没了，那份想写东西的动力，失去了。

一把锋利的刀，放一边久了，都会生锈，更何况我那浅薄的才学，自然也就消失得无影无踪。

写到这里，其实我都还没为我这篇文起个题，可想而知，如今我还真的是枯竭了，对，题目就是枯竭了，呵呵。

生日快乐

才发现，

我并没有祝我自己，

26岁， 生日快乐！

2012之结尾

乒乒乓乓的，楼下不时传来有人大喊‘Happy New Year'， 2013年在我看着'Person of Person',玩着Marvel Avengers中到来了！

2012年，过的和2011年差不多，过的快，非常的快，眨眼之间就过了，感觉上上一篇终结似乎刚完结不久！

来吧，开始细数2012年我人生中的一些事情吧。

1. 一月，我开始了我的求职生涯，不过我很快的就收到一两间公司的面试预约，开始了我人生中的第一个正式的面试！

2.     二月，开始了我第一份工作！

3.     四月，去了巴厘岛，结果对巴厘岛的印象，还好罢了！

4.     六月，接收到我口试（VIVA)的确实日期，忐忑不安，紧张万分的，度过了我人生中最没有把握的一天！虽然通过了，但是却是大幅度更改需要，虽然只是在论文上，却还是有点觉得差强人意啊。不过，我是觉得自己挺侥幸的！呵呵。

5.    六月和九月，和同事们一起去了马六甲，和彭亨林明。

6.  八月，参加了教会的生活营，不再是营员，而是导师。看着他们的成长，也看见自己的不足。求神帮助我。

7.    同月，试用期终于过了！

8.  十月，重头戏！先是毕业典礼。熬了三年，终于可以毕业了！！！也和家人第一次全家人旅行，见见许久不见的友人，顶着艳阳，不停的留下自己的倩影，呵呵。下次相见，不知是何时了！

9.  同月，毕业典礼回来后，大病一场，虽然请假一天而已，但是，这一病，仿佛把自己的身子摆在一个虚弱的状态，一个月，看了三次医生！一绝！

10.  同月，BigBang Galaxy Tour 演唱会！！！这不必多说了，堪称我今年最最最疯狂的一件事了，从演唱会票，到淋雨排队，到疯狂的摇摆。不说了。。。

11.    十一月，恩，拿到了一份债务！！！

12.    十二月，恩，收到苦笑皆非的十份礼物，一个插满26只蜡烛，提早9天的生日蛋糕！！！

告别吧，2012年。

迎接吧，2013年。

    

生日礼物

上个星期六，我和中学朋友有个圣诞小聚餐，也进行了我们认识这么多年的第一次圣诞交换礼物环节。嗯，或许他们之间可能一直以来都有这个习惯，只是今年多了一个我，哈哈。

我们现在Sushi Zamai吃了晚餐，然后前往珊珊家拆礼物。结果我们在她家门外等了有好一阵子。原先我倒是没有什么想法，虽然她说她找不到钥匙开门，但是我还是没有想太多，毕竟佩诗，俊珊，慧婷也都在门外，有些胡闹的唱着圣诞歌。但是在最后一秒前，我看到佩诗提起她的电话给俊珊看，照理来说，俊珊看得，我就一定也看得，但是我却没有！

恩，当下留了个疑惑。门开了，我最后一个进门。但是进门前我看见客厅灯关着，然后进了门的佩诗脸上明显被蜡烛照亮着，我就知道了，有个蛋糕在门后，有首生日歌等着唱！

果然！一粒插满26只蜡烛的蛋糕出现了！！26只小蜡烛，难怪需要这么长时间开门啦！

早了9天的生日庆祝，还是说声谢谢，总得让他们这些即将迈入27岁的小姐姐们，平衡一下心里状态吧！！！哈哈。

接下来我们就开始把自己的礼物摆在珊珊为我们预备的地方，我们一人抽一张纸条，纸条上写着我们礼物需要摆在的地方，如此，珊珊也不知道到底是谁的礼物摆在什么地方。

每每看到最大份的礼物，我就会觉得恐怖！！！

对，众礼物里，有一份是特别大份，而且也最让人心悸的一份，因为不知道里面到底是什么东西，而且只是普通的交换礼物，所以里面玩笑的成分就特别的高！

但是，很不公平的，他们竟然决定以年龄大小来决定谁抽先，我囧了，那份大礼物非我莫属了！！！果不其然，我拿到了它！！！

提着忐忑的心情，我打开了它！看了里面的东西，我顿时有些懵了，里面的东西可不少啊。在抬头看了贼笑的众人，好像有哪里不大对劲！原来才知道，她们花了一大堆心思，演了一场戏，把最大一份留给我，是因为那是她们为我准备的生日礼物！囧！！！

里面有十分礼物，她们也一一解释了每份礼物的意义。来，我也把他们分成不同类别！

饮料

我喝很多水，所以有一只矿泉水。至于酒吧，她们总认为我是酒鬼！因为每次和她们旅行时，都会打牌喝酒！

车饰

我很会流汗，所以有一盒纸巾。也适合摆在车内！

书籍

《90天，终结单身》，其意思非常的明显了！ 2013的日记本，里面写了一大堆愿望，事件，安排，我有了秘书了呢！！最后一本，是佩诗上次去泰国的手信，只是一直忘了给，所以就也摆了进来！

雨伞

 佩诗记得我曾和她提过我的雨伞坏了，还是不见了。我都不记得我曾和她提过，她却记得，所以送了我觉得最最实际的一份！

旅行用品

 我想她们也不知道该买什么了，所以竟然买了旅行的用品！那Air Pillow，她们的原意时，我们去台湾时，她们可以借用！再囧！

最后一样，囧，囧，囧

保险套

原因非常简单，因为上面的那本书，告别单身后，也许就得需要到!佩服佩诗和珊珊，两个女生跑去买保险套！！！！

祝福语？？我觉得我像个圣诞老人呢！！

不过总地来说，确实有惊喜，也很感动，因为里面的心思可不少，也凸显出，这群人，也很了解我！太了解了，所以日记里面的东西，真的是哭笑不得啊！！！！

菌之季节

自从上次从古晋毕业典礼回来，我的身子的抵抗力好像降了许多。或许古晋之旅只是宣告我的身子已经到了一个临界点，回来的当天，就免不了的生了一场大病。不过我是知道自己的身体的，每一年接近年尾时，我就会来场大病，过去的经验，是真的病足一个星期。

可是自从上了大学后，身体的状况有改善，并没有出现一年一场大病类似的事情，也许和当时我较活跃于跑步有所关系吧。过去几年，我看医生的次数是真的是很少，但是，这两个月，我却前后看了三次医生，病了三次！

也许是自己真的不懂的照顾自己，也许是工作的生活步伐，更有可能就是，缺少运动。最近这两个月，我是热气侵袭。不过也不见怪，从小到大，我生病就一定跟热气有关系。所以哦我一直以来都会尽量的让自己喝多凉茶，一些清凉的食物。但是也许是工作的缘故，这方便，我懒了，才有最近频繁的生病！

BigBang Galaxy Live Tour 2012

千呼万唤的BigBang Galaxy Live Tour 2012 马来西亚站终于在昨晚完美的结束了。

我本不是他们的fan，基本上我一直到决定和我的朋友一起去时才开始听他们的歌。不得不说，他们能风靡这么多人是真的有他们的道理。

昨天12点我就和朋友们一起排队等待，天啊，读书时都不见我如此的积极！演唱会8点才会开始，我们却12点就开始排队等待了。以前看到其他人在排队时我总是不以为然，想不到我也有如此疯狂的一天。

最近的天气很不好，总是下雨。大家都有先见之明，都带有雨衣，准备那既有可能下雨的情况。结果，果不其然，下午4点多，雨滴就来了，淋雨中，等待了一个小时，另一件疯狂的事情！

差不多六点入场时，天色真的不是太好，果然，又下了一场雨，这雨可大了。不过庆幸的是，这雨停的也非常的及时，开唱前雨就停了，月亮也出来了！哇，现场开始又热起来了。

疯狂的摇了两个小时多，天啊，真的要虚脱了，心里想要快点结束，因为真的很累了，也非常的渴，没有水喝！但是却欲罢不能的，不想就这样结束！

乖乖，这5个人，不是开玩笑的，没有对嘴，全场唱live的，真的是实力创作组合！值回票价，真的值回票价！！！

Wow！Fantastic Baby!!

毕业 - 2012

2012年10月13号，一个期待已久的日子，一个打从2009年8月17号开始，我第一天正式的以个研究生的身份自居时就期待已久的一个日子。毕业典礼，真的是久违了。

作为研究生的日子，其实真的非常的难熬，虽然比起其他人，我少了金钱上的顾虑，但是，那过程其实挣扎了很久，很多时候感到非常的无助，压力，沮丧。

在不断的浮沉中，终于引来了这一场的毕业典礼。当我得知我终于可以告别学生的生后时，老实说，我真的松了一口气。但是如果你问我是否后悔那个决定，我可以老实说，我真的是有后悔的成分在当中。而且，不自觉的，我也断送了我的一个理想工作，只因为作为研究生的生涯真的非常的辛苦和费神。

不过这一切都过去了，是段回忆，不管是好是坏，这回忆确实是值得珍藏的。不管怎么说，我还是结束了这段旅程。

这旅程中撇开研究生的身份不说，我倒是和一些朋友一同写下了一些难以遗忘的页面，其中自然以神山之旅最为深刻。

一路走来，苦甜一半，再辛苦的日子，却因为有一帮朋友相伴填增了不少了色彩的回忆。

毕业，告别了学生的身份，正式面对社会的一切，一个结束，象征另一个的开始，人要不停的往前走，有时回头看看曾留下的痕迹，会发现，虽然自己没有多大的作为，但是属于我的影子，不停的和不同的人穿插着。一路走来，在我们的生命留下痕迹的朋友，带有我们痕迹的友人，不断的为我们原始空白的生命，填上不同的画面，值得，一切的痕迹。

这次毕业典礼，也是我们家人第一次全家人出现的画面，也实属难得。毕竟平时各自都有自己的生活。

我爸受不来了，找吃去了


这歌，贴切！

干杯 - 五月天
