give it away

a song, a title, an inspiration, priceless memories..

well, i tried figuring out a title to suit this very special post but nothing came out from this blarddy brain of this boy here till this song came about on my iTunes! so go figure,a title that rings Langkawi all over, personally to me la, as im writing this post dedicating out to 1 of my bestest pal as he's moving, literarily moving to the islands up north of the peninsular!

as i was sitting, chilling out with the coffee on the 15th of Oct along side my other pals, dougie and jane, i got a call from a rather familiar but then, but still unfamiliar number on my cell. obviously gua picked the phone and ka-bang!! exitement came rushing in like booze i had the night before into my head from someone i haven't heard in a good full month! 1st line he said "I'm Back" and sekaili gus i knew the other fella on the receiving end! hahahahaha and hehehehehe, serious sh*t! was all i said wei! serious!! all because of the fact that it was the first time he came back since he moved to Langkawi to persue his music career. i did felt a moment of dis-belive but the the matter of reality sets in! -matters like, sh*t wei, now im gonna have a hangover everynight and cash's gonna swin away wei! lol, LOL, joking wyn!

later that night, i went over to his place where we meet up! and since the "welcome back" hug i gave him, we had countless yum cha sessions as well as its share of parties and drinking sessions! the wynton we knew never changed, still the smelly walpo that left for langkawi four 1/2 monts back! only difference; he's botak and he's a lil fatter! NO wei! much much more fatter, lolz! as great as it lasted with a touch of some con-stories in between where he's going back, nothing's changed, we had fun, we had moods of irritation but better yet we had booze, lots of em!

"time goes by when one's having fun" was all it takes to potong our stim as it was time for wyn to go back to the islands but this time around, he's moving there! the whole bunch! but well, we ended he's trip down to KL with a banging party and a massive drinking session! chunted!! so wyn, memories gained?
-a brand new kembara
-trips down to Starhill, Tiffin's Bay with great performances
-Aryton's Amirah sessions
-ol skool drinking
-multiple drinking sessions all over Old Kland Road
-cut-throat, money swimming, sly-calling poker game
-KLFC's wanton mee
-head-cracking, IQ using warcraft tower defence game's
-shane's new house
-Sun Raj mamak sessions
-your futsal aiming leg games
-"chillout" BRJ mamak sessions
-movies at midvalley
-our gentalmen's bet
-scandals, hehehehehe!! lolz
-singing in car sessions
-A&W waffles
-emma and kyle and last but not least;
-rosemary wei!!!

but what the heck, you'll be coming back and we'll have more better memories! who know's, maybe you'll come back with little wynton's running around so whatever it is, you take care of yourself back there! we're all just a phone call away till you get an internet connection but till then, the phone works for us here in KL and you guys in Langkawi!
so, cheers mate! missing your irritating laugh already! haih!!

the lad's paryer


"Our beer

Which art in barrels

Hallowed by the drink

They will be drunk

I will be drunk

At home as it is in the local

Forgive us this day

Daily spillage

As we forgive those who

Spillest against us

And lead us not into

Practice of poncey wine tasting

And deliver us from alcopop's

For mine is the bitter

The ale and the lager

Forever and ever"

the avriving of the departing

i was told by my dad and so as my other family members that upon someone's death, there will come a day that we aren't allow to venture around the house for a moment in time as the soul or as many will say, the spirit of the dear departed will return to the places he/she has visited in his past life will return to check on the family they left behind accompanied by two fearsome guardians of the underworld from the chinese myth/legend, the Ox-Head & Horse-Face. according to the elders, if eyes are set upon them upon avriving as they pass thru, o-ooo! it will just be plain BAD!! Teruk, Tak Baik, 'mm Hou' (not good) or 'mm hou choi' (bad luck)..u get the picture rite! o.o

momentarily, i had just been thru my dear grandpa's departure and we are expecting the day my granpa's visit to come and it's for a few hours' so we are all advised to stay put in our rooms. in a way im terrified but also in other way, im interested in knowing more of the chinese myth's coz plainly, damm interesting weh! but yea, tough luck so far coz this is only what i got from my sourse-of-all-info, Wikipedia.com though the date is set by the priest's from the day of the servise down at Nirvana Memorial Center. all i can say is, im trying to be brave and hope the time pass! im very much human as the others!

"Ox-Head (牛頭) and Horse-Face (馬面) are two fearsome guardians of the Underworld in Chinese mythology, where the dead face judgement (and punishment) prior to reincarnation. As indicated by their names, one has the head of an ox, and the other has the head of horse. They are the first people a dead soul meets upon arriving in the Underworld; in many stories they directly escort the newly dead to the Underworld (apparently some try to run away). Usually, the two are mentioned together (牛頭馬面)." -Wikipedia

-posted here in the memory of my grandpa as in the mean time, thought you all might be interested as i am!

the cycle of life...it goes on

it's unpredictable. it's very unpredictable. it can take a turn on one's moment of one's life in a split second yet when one's unprepared espicially, he/shen break's down. but in a sad yet selfish way, it's the fear of that unpredictability and uncertainty that make life worth living and not a bore. it's fun! but though, when it hit me, i felt that pain, like life's crashing down on you but dont give up because for that one's person courage to stand up and face that uncertainty gives courage and inspiration to others. well, that's roughly the week i had been through, filled with so much unpredctable casualities.

well, i did have fun! me and my friends did. from late night dotA matches to our usual mamak sessions and now to Starhill Gallery for a cup of luxury and glam at Tiffin's Bay. tha place s fantastic! imagine having a cup of your favourite drink in an atmosphere of mixed ambience of lights and sounds. great deco, fun lighting, sophisticated beverages came with fun food filled with great people whom create fantastic jazz. again, i came equipped with my trusty touchscreen camera where again, we went all crazy yet again, lol. props to the soliano's for their yet again another head-banging set of fantastic jazz pieces wei.so what do one get with a touchscreen camera at hand + a room, well, a table full of US..feast your eyes :D get 'WOWed' wei!




then came the other side of life when i experience somethng out of the ordinary, i felt a feeling that i thought i won't be feeling anytime soon but then it came on that morning itself. ths is the same million of butterflies in my stomach feeling i felt last year before two of my close relatives passed on last year! then the unpredictable happened as it as it was my grandfather's turn to be moving on! as the news broke out, mourns of silence and sadness filled the room like a smoke from a fire. at one moment, it was heart to take a breath but after digesting the fact that my grandpa has really moved on only everything went calm of the fact that it was old age and not other complications. but what to do yea, life goes on as the next day was the funeral services at Nirvana Memorial Centre where it lasted for 3 days.

in a way we all did feel the exaustion but we all could never choose to have any other ay that to be with you there grandpa! though he had moved on to a better place, his memories will stay with me till th...who knows yea! sitting in my room blogging, i can cearly remember what his advices are but the most common one's goe's something like this..in cantonese!

" In the Warring States period, the Chu State had a very capable minister called Zhao Xixu. He was well respected and held in awe by the people of other countries as well as his own. One day, the king asked his ministers "I hear every state in the north is afraid of our minister Zhao Xixu, is that so?" At the question, almost all the ministers kept silent except one called Jiangyi, who liked to curry the king's favor very much. He lost no time to seize the opportunity and said, "Your Majesty, you know, it's you who people awe and respect, not him! Have you ever heard the story The Fox Borrows the Tiger's Terror?" Well, here is the story.

One day a tiger was hunting around in a forest. An unlucky fox was met and caught by the tiger. For the fox, the inescapable fate was very clear -- death. Despite the danger, the fox thought hard to find a way out. Promptly, the fox declared to the tiger, "How dare you kill me!" On hearing the words the tiger was surprised and asked for the reason" The fox raised his voice a bit higher and declared arrogantly: "To tell you the truth, it's I who was accredited by God to the forest as the king of all the animals! If you kill me, that will be against the God's will, you know?" Seeing that the tiger became suspicions, the fox added: "Let's have a test. Let's go through the forest. Follow me and you will see HOW THE ANIMALS ARE FRIGHTENED OF ME."

The tiger agreed. So the fox walked ahead of the tiger proudly through the forest. As you can imagine, the animals, seeing the tiger behind, were all terribly frightened and ran away. Then the fox said proudly: "There is no doubt that what I said is true, isn't it?" The tiger had nothing to say but to acknowledge the result. So the tiger nodded and said: "You are right. You are the king."

When Minister Jiangyi finished the story above, he added to the king: "It seems as if the northern neighbors were afraid of Minister Zhao xixu. In fact, they are afraid of Your Majesty just as the animals were afraid of the tiger not of the fox." The king was very pleased at Minister Jiangyi's words. And never doubted its truth.

A closed mind is like a closed book; just a block of wood "


I Love You" and "I'll MIss You" yeh yeh!
