Guitar Hero and me??

For the whole evening until just now, I dunno, maybe about half day I played a new Nintendo Wii game, Guitar Hero. Surprisingly, I finally managed to finished for the whole game and guess what, I did not saved the game. I was so frustrated because it was so damn hard to play a guitar (control actually)and need skillful fingers and to be alert to the cord given base on the underground music such as Gun n Roses, Metallica, Maiden etc.. So, I have to start all over again and then SAVE. It such a waste for me after killing the precious time until forgot to eat, etc..Well, anyhow I got a plenty of time right now during summer break until end of September.

" There is no greater reward for a well-spent life than to see one's children well-started in life, owing to their parents' good health, good principles, fixed character, good breading, and in general the whole outfit, that enables them to fight the battle of life with success."

(William Graham Summer, 1840-1910 American Sociologist)

I am so thankful to all my family members especially my aunts, Cik Ila and Cik Ima and not to forget to Uncle Man, who were care enough and concern to help about a massive problem that happened in my family. I am not blaming anybody here as I knew, everybody got their own problem and their own reason. Few days back, I almost wanted to blow up my mind thinking how to solve this problem as I was yet too far from my family when they need me. Just a non-stop phone call I made to make sure everything going to be fine. When responsible took place, I seem did not care about how tired I am, my worries affect me until I could not get sleep every night to think the best way to solve the problem. Yes, at first place I am blaming to a person that I cared so much about this matter but when thinking it back, after my aunt made a very good advise not to blame anybody as there will be a reason for anything that happened. As long as I have a very loving family, care to each other, is enough for me. Miss you and love you all always in my heart.

For one more day - Mitch Albom

Last night I finished a novel by Mitch Albom entitled For one more day. It was a story about a baseball player,Chick who decided to kill himself after a lot of terrible things happened in his life. But, when he involved in a car crash, he suddenly walked to his mom's house and surprised that his mother who died fews years ago, still inside the house and treat him very well, like every mother in the world did. Chick could not believed what he exactly saw. His mother, Posey, asked him to spent one day with her. Chick missed his mom very much and starting from that moment, he spent a day with his mom and he finally realized that he never stand up for his mom and so many things he done wrong to his mom before she died.

Albom's stories provoke us to ponder and question how we approach these relationships, either under truly extraordinary or utterly banal circumstances. "What could I have done better?" is the resonating question we think about regarding past relationships and "What can I do now?" spurs us to think about our present relationships.

Albom uses this formula in his most recent novel for one more day where he delves into the question "If you had one more day with someone who is no longer in your life, who would it be?" For the protagonist, Charles "Chick" Benetto, it is his mother Posey. We meet Chick in his mid fifties, a man who has carried ordinary and traumatic childhood experiences and expectations into his adulthood. A child of divorce and an absentee father, Chick and his sister are raised by their mother who is both an embarrassment and a compass to them both, especially Chick. As an adult, he has a briefly unsuccessful stint as a Major League baseball player and an even longer and more unsuccessful stint as a salesman.

Following Posey's death in his forties, Chick spirals into eight years of alcoholism and self doubt, which results in Chick leaving his family and losing contact with his daughter. With nothing left in his life, Chick decides to go back to town where he grew up to end it all. In the process, he ends up spending one more day with his mother. It is a remarkable day of discovering who Posey truly was and how her actions influenced his life in positive and negative ways.

The pace of back story intermingled with the present is true to Albom's style, giving the reader just enough information to grasp and propel them forward to the protagonist's next revelation. Successful character development is key in for one more day and the reader will not be disappointed by Albom's descriptions. They are vivid and tangible. Had Albom chosen a female protagonist and slightly different storyline, for one more day would have easily fallen into the "chick lit" category. By choosing Charles "Chick" Benetto as the main character and crafting such a layered and absorbing story line, Albom has successfully appealed to a diverse audience.

The Secret Language of Women

Keywords and Their Meaning

Fine :

This is the word a woman uses at the end of any argument in which she feels she is right about but needs to shut you up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.

Five Minutes :

This is really half an hour. It is equivalent to the same "five minutes" that a football game is going to last before you take out the garbage.

Nothing :

This really means, "You'd never understand." "Nothing" is usually accompanied by a woman's desire to turn you inside out, upside-down, and backwards. "Nothing" is often said prior to an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and will end with the word "Fine."

Go Ahead (with raised eyebrows) :

This is not permission. This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine.

Go Ahead (with normal eyebrows) :

This means, "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care." You will get the "Go Ahead" with raised eyebrows in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.

Loud Sigh :

This is not actually a word, but is still a verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment and is wondering why she is wasting her time arguing over "Nothing."

Soft Sigh :

Again, not a word, but a verbal statement."Soft Sighs" are one of the few things that some men actually understand. This means a woman is content and your best bet is to not move or breathe and she will stay content.

That's Okay :

This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can say to a man. "That's Okay,” means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you retributions for whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and used in conjunction with the raised Eyebrow "Go Ahead." At some point in the near future when she has plotted and planned, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.

Please Do :

This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance to tell the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay."

Thanks :

A woman is thanking you. Do not faint; simply say, "You're welcome."

Thanks a lot :

This is much different than "Thanks." A woman will say, "Thanks a lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have hurt her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh." Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh," as she will only tell you "Nothing."

Thanks for the memories

What will happen if you received a blood from anonymous person that saved yourlife but not thats all, you suddenly can feel and knows everything that out of your control, change your dont's to do's like from vegetarian to not vegetarian, you received images thats nothing to do with you and yourlife? Its a big complicated right? But, when I finally finished read the latest novel, Thanks for the memories from Cecelia Ahern, which was an amazing and spectacular story that I've ever read before. Its a story that involved Joyce, whom lost her child while she's still pregnant, divorced with her husband and she decided to live with her dad, Thomas. Whole her life afterwards seems so different with her dad around when they went for a holiday for the first time over the sea, her dad in this amazing story makes the whole story full of sense of humour besides her best girl friends, Frankie and Kate which gave Joyce a strong relationship between each other. The miracle of this story is that, Joyce managed to find the donor, Justin that saved her life and they are met to each other.I myself admit that between me and my father, he seems so cheerful person even though we knew that he got a massive problem, but he manages to get thru all of it and still, he will be crazy, fun and very sincere in the family. Enjoy!

A short preview from the novel;

How can you know someone you've never met? Joyce Conway remembers things she shouldn't. She knows about tiny cobbled streets in Paris, which she has never visited. And every night she dreams about an unknown little girl with blonde hair.

When she leaves hospital after a terrible accident, with her life and her marriage in pieces, Joyce moves back in with her elderly father. All the while, a strong sense of deja vu is overwhelming her and she can't figure out why!

Olympic Games Beijing 2008 started!

Colourful and cheerful of Opening ceremony Olympic Beijing 2008

Malaysia Contigent in the ceremony

Yesterday, the 29th Olympic Games that are now officially began in Beijing, China on 8.8.08. I could not watched the opening ceremony as we don't have any ariel tv in the house so, today I just watched via youtube though it was not in full version (what I'd read in the news that the ceremony took about 1hour with the colourful firework and impressive performance..I like the big air balloon part). So overall, I can conclude the opening ceremony was so "chinese" and lovely..It makes the world watching to know more about China and the people with their great performance playing the drumbeat.

Not to forgot about our contigent that was lead by Cyclist Mohd Azizul Hasni Awang into the "Bird's Nest" Stadium during the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympics yesterday. This time Malaysia sent 33 athletes to the Olympic 29th that led by Chef-de-mission and two-time Olympian Datuk Ho Koh Chye, clad in orange and gold coloured Malay traditional outfits, out of the dug-out. And the spotlight was also on track cyclist and double Asian champion Azizul Hasni Awang, who carried the Jalur Gemilang proudly into the stadium.

The rest of the Malaysian athletes who trooped out along with the officials were swimmers Leung Chii Lin and Siow Yi Ting, divers Leong Mun Yee, Elizabeth Jimie, Pandelela Rinong and Bryan Nickson, cyclists Josiah Ng, Mohd Edrus Yunus and Rizal Tisin.

Malaysian sailor Kevin Lim, who is competing in his fourth Olympics, also took part in the opening ceremony. Kevin came all the way from the sailing host city of Qingdao, nearly 800km away from Beijing, along with his coach, Vedat Alpagut.

Malaysia BOLEH!

So, whats equal to 100%?
Wealthy? Position?..not at all my dear friends..

Every each question must has its own answer
but in this context, all the answer will be the attitude,
because to achieve our goals, no matter what, we have to move and look forward
because with this ATTITUDE, which proved that...

Attitude=A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E
=1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5
= 100%

Attitude will changed everything..I mean EVERYTHING because without Attitude, people have no goal to achieve, not making him look forward..and not being successful in his or her life.

Love kills??

As I browsing my country local newspaper website today, I was totally shocked about a big hot news about Malaysian girl that live here, I dunno, maybe as a student or foreigner worker as the news that I read got a slight different infos..anyway, it was about a revenge murder between 2 women that fighting for a man. When thinking it back, this horrible tragedy was totally insane to a young woman that killed another woman because of jealousy without knew what will happened next. Below was a short news reported from a trusted source:

Noor Azura Mohd-Yusoff, 22, a Malaysian prostitute in London, is accused of killing Evelyn Xing Xing Xie, 23, a graduate who was working in a karaoke bar.

Noor Azura, known as "Princess" in the trade, was apparently jealous of Evelyn Xing because of her relationship with Nor Azura's Vietnamese boyfriend TrachLon Gian, 26.

The decapitated body of Evelyn Xing was found in a laundry bag in the Thames marina in London, last April without its head and hands. Several week later, her head was found wrapped in a bin bag nearby.

So guys, please please think twice in whatever you do.. Just don't waste your precious time and avoid feeling regret later. Love yourself!
