Open Auditions for INDICINELIVE

Came across this advert calling for auditions from KLPAC.

Still thinking want to have it a try or not.

There is not a problem for me If it is a Chinese language spoken audition. But, in English, I just do not have the confidence to do so.

Somemore, they need caricature and cappella! I can't even sing well in karaoke session!

Should I just go and not care for anything?

Like what Nike advert says : "Just Do It" ??!!

Photoshop CS3 Tutorial : Hair Cropping

When it comes to hair cropping using Photoshop, it will not be as easy as any other object cropping by using tools like, marquee, magic wand, masking, eraser...

Hair is just so hard to crop.

You can see in a lot of newspapers & magazines, the celebrities hair are being cut up into a fake hair type of looking which I can say is ugly and not natural.

Here is the tutorial I found online which I think it might me useful for all of us when it comes to hair cropping works:

Telemarketing

Company is having activities in these 2 weekends.

Therefore, we who are in the Marketing Team need to be Telemarketers to call up and invite all the targeted audiences to come and join the event.

It has been a brand new experience for me.

It was not an easy job though. People who are picking up the phones, not all are friendly people.

We were being hung up, questioned and scolded. Hopefully next week the people are nicer.

But, anyway it was a great experience.

Salute to all the telemarketers out there and I promise that I will act good when next time I receive phone calls from telemarketers.

Do not want to get bad karma by the time when I have to do telemarketing again.

My Best Fren's Wedding

The wedding is finally over.

It still feels like yesterday when Serene first told me that she is getting married.

It was about one year ago.

And now, everything is over.

Going through all those ceremony, dinners, makeup, hairdo, preparation...

It was pretty exhausting actually.

Anyway, everyone is very happy then.

It was a day of joy. Everything went on smoothly and I am so happy for being able to have 2 of my best frens around me.

I am happy for my best fren on her marriage and wish her forever loving with her hubby.

It is not easy to find someone that you are willing to spend the rest of your life with and if you did...you are the lucky ones.

《欢喜苑2009》

四天三夜的佛学儿童生活营就这样结束了.

非常欢喜的度过了这几天.

有幸与几个在十年前因儿营而相知相识的朋友,在这里话说当年,重温旧时光。

这种温馨亲切，既陌生又熟悉的感觉，让我感到异常安心和愉快。

很享受那段时光。。。

千金难买的一刻

定慧居的《欢喜苑》佛学儿童生活营，已经是第七届了。

而我也不知不觉地当了七届的督导，我依然玩得不亦乐乎。

虽然每一届的节目表都大同小异，但每一届都会有不同的工委，督导，还有小菩萨到这里来。

每一次都会有不同的体验，不同的喜悦。

这种喜悦，是无法用言语或字词来形容的。只有在那里的人才可以体会到这种发自内心的欢喜和喜悦。

Black Tuesday Series - Part 4 : Sore Eyes

Bad luck.

Today is Tuesday and normally on Tuesday in this recent month there will be something happening to me.

Black Tuesday Series - Part 1 : Food Poisoning

In early Nov Tuesday, I had food poisoning.

Black Tuesday Series - Part 2 : Fell Down

After one week on Tuesday, I fell down from the stairs and had stitches.

Black Tuesday Series - Part 3 : Bad Flu & Cough

One week after the incident on Tuesday, I got flu and cough that until now I still haven't recovered yet.

Black Tuesday Series - Part 4 : Sore Eyes

And today, one week after the cough, my eye is infected by virus - Sore Eye.

Oh dear, this is the 3rd time I have visited the clinic starting from early Nov and guess what?

I am on MC again.

My newly joined company sure will fire me if I continue like this.

I must have done something really bad that Buddha want to punish me. I cannot think of any reasons to explain what is going on.

Falling Down Seasons

This is the 4^th time I fell down in within these 4 months.

The 1^st incident happened at a Mamak stall in an early morning.

I was going to toilet before we depart for our business trip to Penang. The mamak floor was not mop correctly and it became so slippery that I fell down hard sitting on the floor just right in front of the toilet door. The toilet door was reflective. I saw how I fall.

The waiters there were all looking at me and no one come and help me out. It was painful and embarrassing that I have to help myself up without showing any emotion,

The 2nd incident took place at my new house during September.

I fell down with a bowl of hot Tom Yam Maggie Mee Soup on my left hand and a cup of hot Cappuccino on my right hand while I was climbing up the stairs to have a delightful meal in my room. It ended up with bowl broken into pieces, floor was in a mess, bleeding hands and big bruises at both of my legs.

The 3^rd incident was much better. It was on October.

I slipped and fell on to the wet bathroom floor. Not so serious but I hurt my wrists while I was trying to support myself during the fall.

The 4^th incident was a nightmare to me. It happened on November which was my 3^rd week in Taylor’s and it was just one week after the torturing food poisoning incident.

I fell off from the stairs while I was walking to the car park after finished work.

The stairs were quite high. I do not remember how but I ended up sitting on the floor. High heels flied off, car key was a few steps away, bags dropped on to the floor. I think a few people saw me falling down but only one college student came near by and help me picking up my bags.

Luckily I did not roll down from the stairs and break my tooth.

My legs were shaking and cannot walk properly after the fall. I have to sit for a long while to get myself ready to continue walking.

When I got into my car, I found a small hole at my leg and it was bleeding non-stop.

I visited the doctor at nite after 2 hours of bleeding. The doctor said I need stitches. It was a nightmare of my life. It was EXTREMELY painful!!

I cried and shouted in pain in the clinic even though it was just one single stitch.

I do not want to suffer like this anymore. If keep I “pokai” like this every moth, all my bones sure broken into pieces and cannot be assembled back again.

Bruises come and go every month. How to wear skirt and short pants?!

Luckily, I am not pregnant. If not I am going to miscarriage every month. *Sigh~~!

Lunch @ Loving Hut

If you are a vegetarian and are environment conscious, you will like Loving Hut very much.
The food serve are very healthy and they are very creative. Their basic concept is to promote “Go Green”.

You can find variety of choices on coffee and tea, and also creative cooking style for vegetarian food.

Me and my sister visited here because we thought that it serves deserts, cakes and ice-creams.We were disappointed when we found that it was not what we have expected it to be.

But, we really like the environment here.We felt comfy with the furniture and deco. We were very impressed with the beautiful coffee art.

Kotaraja Touring Party’09

On 17th Oct, I attended an r/c car race at Kotaraja.

It was like a farewell event to me as I am going to leave my company soon which means that I will not be working in r/c industry anymore. It is just so hard to say goodbye for a job that I have been working for almost 4 years.

Group photo session before the race starts

The event went pretty well.
The players took this fun race very seriously. It made the race became very exciting while they were chasing the best lap for their own position.

Beautiful body shell design

My ex-company’s sponsor driver / XRAY driver – Jacky Siow.

A guy who has brilliant driving skills and with excellent sportsmanship. Salute~!

Cute kids asking me to take a photo of him

Food Poisoning Day

Felt sick in the early morning.

The worst thing was I vomited at my office front door for my 4th day working in Taylor's. All my colleagues who came to work saw me mopping the floor with the uneasy smell around. This is just so embrassing.

I went to the panel clinic and the doctor there did not allow me to take MC as she said that I am still in my probation period. I felt weird with the reason she gave but I still accepted what she said. It ended up, I went back to my office block and went to the toilet for a few times in within half an hour. And finally, I went back to the clinic and beg the doctor for MC.

As I reached home, I found out that my housemates were at home and they are in the same condition as me.

It was 3rd Nov. I remembered that 2 years ago with the same date, me and my housemates were in Kota Kinabalu and we ended up in the same conditions after came down from Mount Kota Kinablu. Plus, 3rd Nov is one of my housemate's birthday!

3rd Nov is just an unlucky date for us. Hope that this wun be happening again in the coming years. If not, it will be such a pity for the birthday boy.

Her Morning Elegance / Oren Lavie

An interesting MV. Great concept.

Love the way of how it is presented.

Yozoh

Found this Korean singer from a blog.

Nice voice with beatiful music.

Just make me think of a relaxing drizzling weekend with breeze blowing the curtain softly.

Sitting and lying on my large soft cushions with a book in my hand.

Besides me will be a coffee table with a cup of hot cappucino and a jar of chocolate chips cookies plus one slice of tiramisu and one slice of cheese cake that are just out of the fridge.

Hmm...just feel so nice to daydream about it.

Nice People

I had a brief talk with one of my friend recently.

I found out that he had changed a lot recently and I feel uneasy with his changes.

He felt that he have been too good and too nice to people until they took advantages on him. They just do not appreciate what he have done.

He decided to change.

Change into someone who care for himself more than other people.

I told him, he will regret with his act pretty soon.

I truly understand how he felt and I understand to what kind of people he wants to change into to protect himself.

Because me myself have gone through such stage before and I am regretting it.

Maybe changing into someone selfish do make you feel better at the start because of people do not dare to take advantages on you.

But eventually you will become very unhappy because the people around you are not happy including those who never take advantages on you.

I regret that I have changed into a more selfish person than I was before and now I am struggling to become the old me.

I become more and more unhappy because I was forcing myself to be selfish to protect myself from being step on by other people.

Ya, some people did bully the old me but I did meet a lot of true friends who treated me nice.

We just need to find a balance point where we can be nice but at the same time learn how to say "NO". Hope that I can be the old me back again & with a wiser mind and hope that my friend can be the old him back soon.

I like the old nice him. He was a more happy person than he is now.

Robotics Classes

My company is now opening a brand new direction to Robotics.
As usual, I as a "One Leg Kick" employee am involved in this as well.

Company is now the licensed partner of Genius Factory which is dealing with teaching kids' robotics classes.

Me and my colleagues attended the class to learn some basic robotics knowledge so that we are able to conduct a robotics class.

I am not so into robotics but I do enjoy teaching.

Conducting a class with innocent & adorable kids around just make me feel happy.

It is fun to see the kids paying full concentration on their robotics and came out with funny & interesting models by their own.

Kids are just so creative and they are happy with their own creation.

They will talk to you and give u all those funny ideas that we laugh on it through out the days.

Kids with their happy faces, their creation and also their friends.
I am grateful to see all these faces.

Live With Passion!

"Live With Passion!"

This is the tagline that catches my eyes when i visited my ex-Unimate - Nicholas Yeap's blog.

"Passion" - my long lost fren.

I haven't been meeting "Passion" since I left Uni.

It get worst after working for few years and "Passion" totally disappeared in nowhere.

Life as a grown-up is really painful in the sense of seeing & encountering the reality.

I am forced to accept the reality and totally forgot about "Passion".

All of a sudden, I found Nicholas blog address while I was facebook+ing.

I was inspired by his writing.

There is so much positive energy in his writting that he enlightened me very much about :

- " Living a life with purpose and passion simply means living your life whole heartedly "

- " Do you see the glass “half full” or “half empty”. It is your choice. And Life is a Choice too! "

Positive Energy & Passion!

These are what I have been struggling so much to regain.

I do hope that I will be meeting them very soon and I will march forward & fly high to fulfill my dreams!!

Nice weather, My weather

The weather has been very good (well at least is my type of weather) during my drive home for these past few days.

It was cooling and with some breeze.

Managed to take photo to capture my favourite moment.

The weather that I love the best will be the time before it starts to rain.

Wind blows with scent of rain...it is just so relaxing.

Domokun

I discovered this Stop Anime character - Domokun during my "favourite cartoon day - Saturday".

I don't know why, but i just like it.

Feeling super excited when I saw Domokun is selling now at local toy shops.

Will get one home soon~~hehe!

Putrajay One Day Trip

It was a very pleasant weekend trip to go around Putrajaya.

We were planning to go Kayaking at the Putrjaya Wetland in the evening. Since it was still early to go for Kayaking, we dropped by at the Floral Exhibition.

The exhibition was huge. A lot of visitors were there. Mostly are families.

There were a lot of art installations which were using flowers as part of the materials.

Some even use fruits and vegetables as the material for decorations.

Other than flowers, the architecture there were very interesting too.

Malaysia Histories can be seen along the way we walked from the bottom to top.
It was beautifully engraved into glasses and were framed nicely.

Eventually after Kayaking we had the chance to see Air Balloon in action.

The Balloons were huge!

People were willing to wait for the long queu and pay for RM10.00 per head to ride on the colorful Air Balloon.
