Life threatening experience

Just to note that one this date me and my family had a great escape! We faced a life threatening experience. Firstly we're on our way back from Penang. The incident happened after tanjung malim.

It was raining so I guess the road is slippery. There's a oil tanker on the slow lane, in the middle lane there's an unser and on the fast lane is a Waja. While our car is two cars behind the Unser. Out of a sudden like a message from top to me "Look at the oil tanker". Then I look at the oil tanker after a second or two. The oil tanker suddenly swerve to the right like it's avoiding a car on that lane. It hits the Unser. The Unser went to the fast lane. While the oil tanker hits the divider on the right(fast lane). All of us braked at that moment! Luckily no pile up happen behind us. After the oil tanker hit the divider it swerve back towards the slow lane.

It slowed down the impact of course but it's not enough. The divider on the slow lane couldn't stop the oil tanker. It just went down like it's not there at all. Then the lorry fell off the cliff. Everyone was stunned at that moment!

In my mind is just to say call the ambulance and police. And my sis did so. We just drove off the accident place. After reaching home, only I realised I should stop down and give a hand. Maybe my mind can't think properly at that moment of that time.

I just need to say that to god. If I had driven 10km/h faster at one part. It would be use being smacked by the oil tanker! My mum and my sis had trauma that night, they can't sleep! While I just can't believe what I witnessed because this thing should only happened in action movies eg Die Hard. Thank god once again for protecting my family.

Mogwai Concert!!

Today must be my lucky day!!! I won a free pass to watch Mogwai. Yes Mogwai that rock band from Glasgow! Yeah that's them. They mainly play instrument only and without vocals. I seriously think you all readers should download and listen to it. Ok here how I won it.

Firstly I was surfing around lowyat.net . Then I came across this competition where you can win free pass to Mogwai concert. Special mention for Tuborg on sponsoring this event and the competition. The competition requires you to write a slogan for Mogwai. Well I must admit I'm not a slogan guy. But on that day.... suddenly there's one light bulb came across my head. I just wrote what came into my head.

Fast forward a few days later. A phone call came right after I'm watching Federer's match. There's a girl that called me. Firstly I thought it's a direct sales, credit card sales etc. Turns out that lady said "Did you join the Mogwai concert from Tuborg? Congratulations you have won the tickets to watch them this coming 21st Jan!!!" My mind was so happy that I feel estatic!!! This is because I have never won any good things through competition. That's 26 years long. Wow the feeling I can't define it. Thanks to Tuborg once again for sponsoring me to this concert.. haha

One sentence came across my mind "Every great journey, starts with a single step". If I had not taken the initiative to join the concert, I would not have won it. I will seriously remember this teaching for my whole life. I hope you do too!

My summary of year 2008!

Ok I'm late for my own year end review. Well it's how I am as usual, late for everything. My company's kpi review also is like out of schedule for every year , so ermmm I think this is my nature. I'm always late!!! Yeas 2008 is like a very bad year overall for everyone. The economy downturn, people losing job, greedy people left off the hook, recession hitting all around the world. So I will think that it's a bad year overall for the world. All this happens because of human greed!

Human greed leads to a lot of bad and evil thing. This recession and economy downturn happened because of human greed as well. Those bankers are at fault for most of it. They should be penalised but most of them are left off the hook. So I must really remember to not greed in my life. I will try to remind this to myself everyday.

The following is my highlight for 2008:
1. Traveled to Thailand twice on 2008. Once is Bangkok and Krabi the next. LOL.... To tell you the truth I like Thailand a lot. The people are quite pleasant and friendly. They are service oriented and they treat you well and valuable. I'm going back to Bangkok this coming March for a short trip. Krabi is one of the best place I traveled, so I'll be back for sure in the future. Rock climbing baby!!
2. Went to Singapore during first half of the year. It was short trip but it was great!! It was a fun trip there considering I don't like Singapore that much.
3. I broke my first bone in my life!!! I broke my right hand metacarpal during futsal. Yeah a lot of people say I shouldn't break my hand when I'm using my foot to play futsal. yeah yeah, but it's a contact sport so accidents do happen =p.
4. I improved my tennis a lot. My fav shot is of course my forehand, but my one handed backhand is getting all the time as well. Need more practice after my broken bone.
5. I started my Lego collection again. haha my childhood dream of owning star wars lego is completed... I have the best of all, the Imperial Star Destroyer!
6. Nearly broke my company policy of MC QUOTA! ROFLMAO! This is probably the year that I fall sick a lot. Tonsillities twice, and the broken hand :'(
7. Hating my job more lol
8. Owning a lot more jersey haha. One of the jersey that I owned is signed by Robbo during the Masters Football Asia.
9. Seeing my idol Federer up close. Too bad can't get his siggy but seeing him upclose is enough for me to be happy. Yeah it sounds ghey! =p but I think it's my girly side haha.
10. Invested in stupid stocks without good fundamental lol. So lesson learnt shouldn't repeat the mistake again. Must invest in dividend stocks.


That's all generally for 2008, alot more to add but that's all I can think of so far. Bring on 2009!!

Xmas 2008

Xmas is such a happy festive. I still remember when I was young, xmas is such a happy day for me. I still remember opening the legos and toys that I get from my parents and my auntie. It's such a happy day! I'm happy as well during xmas this year but just not that childlike happy if you know what i mean.

It's weird that when we're children all we care about is having fun, loving your parents. But when you get older, the fun part is getting lesser and lesser. We get more weight on our shoulder where we forget about the fun part. Life is so short that we must always remember that it's fun ! Life that is dull is such a boring thing that I for sure don't want to live like that haha. This is a thing that I must remember everyday.

Get a few presents for this xmas..... gift exchange program. Thanks to all that contributed the presents!! Let's do it again next year!

IP MAN!



IP Man..... it's the latest martial art movie on the screen. Initially I really thought it's pronounced as I, P Man or orang IP =p. Internet protocol man LOL. Ok he's called Ip Man. Ip is pronounced as Yip and the Man is something like Mun. The movie is about the person's life. He's the grandmaster of "wing chun" kungfu. He started to teach wing chun kungfu to alot of people and the kungfu is still being practised until today. And the most significant of all he's the master of Bruce Lee. Yes, Bruce Lee that Jeet Kun Do founder.

The movie has a good balance between martial art and also personal life of the guy. It's not like some certain movie where it just focuses on the martial art i.e fearless. Donny Yen do show some great kungfu in every movie that he acted so far. This movie is no exception as well. He played Ip Man's role very well IMO.

All I can advise is to go watch this movie. It's my best chinese movie for the year and certainly the last chinese movie that I'll watch this year. What a way to end the year!
