Monday Blues~

Ever want to find the best reason to not go to work and the reason given would be the most relevant too? It will be very convincing and your boss might just fall for it. Want to give it a try? You never know until you actually tried it right? =P

First, give that all cranky look and take a picture of it showing you are in a lot of pain. This will be proof of you being in lots of pain and can't even get up. Perfect excuse right? :D

If that did not work and the boss has sent someone to come handle you, continue to make your agonizing pain face to convince the caretaker who will take you like shown above. =D

After making lots of frustration with the caretaker, when he puts you down, continue to make your wonderful face of wonders to really convince that you are in pain and really need a day off.

If it still fails, please continue to a higher level of irritation. Please execute the crying phase. That will definitely bring the caretaker to his knees and leave you alone. No one can blame you there since tears can't be made up right? =D *Unless you got eye-more by your side*
Might the caretaker still be a stubborn mule, just continue with the teary face and add a little puppy eye facial to give the out most effect of convincing that you are really in the state you proclaim you are. =P
Not enough? Add more puppy eye to it. You can do it! Not worth losing over here right since you made it this far. Make that caretaker lose it's powerful doubt over your fake acting. You know you can do it! Show those tears! =D
When all does not work, it is best to go all out and just to pause a little while just to see the reaction of the caretaker that he will just pick up the phone and tell the boss you are really sick and can't make it today. Make it extremely audible as he is talking with the boss. Continue to make a fuss once he puts down the phone. This is to ensure he will leave you alone.

Why left alone you ask? Just to have your hard earn relaxation in the bath you always wanted on a Monday blue. Just you and the blue tub. What more can be more rewarding that this? Excuse and the perfect relaxation from a hectic day at the office without stepping in to the office.

So have a relaxing bath by earning it the easy way out. Hehe... Who knows it just might work.

Drag Day!

Today i woke with a great big smile on my face. Why you might want to ask? Surely i will tell but you will just have to be patient a little bit while i tell my story of this very awkward day. So sit back on your chair and start staring at the monitor. Well not too close now, don't want you to get near sighted eh? hehehe... :P

Wonderful morning it was today. Couldn't have say so myself. It is just a bright sunny morning on a beautiful Sunday. Ah, bliss? A bit. Woke up and did my normal morning stuff consisting of making my bed, going to the toilet and so on. Called by the superior one of the family to go to the dining table for some delicious breakfast. Food is always the great thing for a growling stomach. Went down and ate with me family and then it was laundry time. Typical Sunday morning? Definitely but that doesn't answer the smile on my face eh? How sharp you guys are. Wanting to know the reason is definitely behind your head now isn't it? Just to make you guys wait a little longer...

Me is so happy today is because drag race is today! *Jump around and JUMP JUMP JUMP* Oh yeah! Cars with highly tuned engine had all gather here in Miri today just for the drag race competition. Nice! Since we only have it once every year, it is an event that all motor fanatics cannot miss. Speaking of which, my friends are like already there in the morning just so you know how they love cars. I wasn't there that early because i had church. God comes first you know! :D But right after church was i excited! I quickly messaged my friend and ask where are they at that moment and know what my friend said? Watching drag la! Where are you? Why so late oh? Based on that reply, i guess you know that i was being scolded eh? hahaha... oh well, at least i was still there right? :P

The morning weather was very promising as it was so very sunny and since it rained yesterday evening, it wouldn't possibly rain today right? So that was in the thought of mine as i was driving home from church to quickly change and drive to the location where the drag competition is being held. It was quite hot too and you could actually cook an egg on the floor if you wanted to. My brother wanted to bring an umbrella but we didn't had any so we just took a cap. Soon dashing to the competition. Lots of cars. Parking was hard to find if i had gone inner but i knew about that so i just had the liberty of parking far far away from the location and just walked in. Far it was. Should had parked nearer. So went with a bottle of water on my hand and looked for my friends.

As me and my brother went into the grounds of drag, many people could be seen and lots of cars could be heard. Loud they were those highly tuned cars. The time that i actually went was about lunch break. So the racers were actually testing their cars by burning tires and doing some laps on the race track. That took my interest cause they were burning until smoke came out from the tires. Smelly. Really smelly! I am just glad the wind came at the right time blowing at the right direction which is opposite of where i was standing while looking like an idiot. Can't blame me what! It's not everyday you see this kind of high powered car on normal days on the streets. Some aren't even legal on the streets! Strictly for competition only cause i saw some cars without any road tax. So being an idiot for this day is worth it no? Well, i know i am an idiot but this kind of idiot is different! HMPH! hahaha...

Met up with my friends soon after the testing was done. My friends were all eating and having their lunch cause they didn't want to leave as getting around would be almost impossible with the amount of cars stacked there. Everyone under an umbrella and cupboard boxes for seats. Wouldn't you say this is like a picnic? Well, the drain was in front of us and you could say it was almost perfect. Good thing the drain did not omit any powerful odor! I brought sunflower seeds. Just so i can munch on something as i waited. My other friends brought more stuff to chew on. Pringles, buns, biscuits, some sour thing which is all colored in orange, and lots more. Watching drag while having a picnic. FUN! hahaha... Being under the blazing sun kind of made it hard to watch but i guess that is why the umbrellas are putted up! hahaha... But it still managed to shine on me. Roar!

Thankfully the clouds decided to crash the party. We were very happy as the clouds decided to cover the powerful rays of the sunshine. By then, you could just see all the umbrellas close and all human faces were visible. Lots of wind to cool us down too but that wouldn't be a surprise as the location is quite near a beach. That would also explain the sunburn on our faces and hands. Salty air makes it easier to get barbecued! hahaha... All was good until suddenly the clouds decided it is time to close the party. You guessed it! It started raining. Thus all the colorful umbrella pops into the air once again. Everyone ducked for cover under the umbrella. It was the end. Or maybe? It suddenly stopped. Rain stopped and everyone was relieved. So went back to the place and waited for the race to begin. Just as the race was about to begin, heavy big droplets of water came pouring. Everyone started running to their car. We began to pack up and also headed for our four wheeled machine.

Just when we reached the main entrance of the drag camp, it stopped raining again. We were like thinking, is this rain playing with us or something? So we decided to stay again and wait if the race is going to begin. If i didn't remember wrong, one race initiated and then the heavy rain started pouring again. This time it was pouring for good. This rain forced all of us to run to our car but to my dismay, i parked so far away. So i decided to go to my friend's car which is much nearer to drive me to my car. By this time, i was already soaked by the rain and the blowing winds. Cold i was and shivering was what i was doing. My teeth actually chatted! haha... Really cold. The cap that i brought? All wet through. Roads were half flooded and my whole body and pants were soaked. Basically dragging my own attire. Woohoo for dragness! hahaha...

That was basically about the day that i had at the event. Fun and wet. Thought it wouldn't rain but it rained anyways! hahaha... Weather is such an unpredictable power. Sunny morning, rainy evening. What a wonderful day. Oh, my car got soaked a little bit too as i left the windows a little opened. Drove back in a cold car. Had to on the air conditioning cause or else the windscreen will fog up. So once i reached home, took a nice warm shower. Just thanked God i wasn't sick! haha... Another day at drag~ :D

Free 2 Be~

Free 2 Be concert was held on Friday(17/8), Saturday(18/8) and Sunday(19/8) nights. This will be the story told by the crazy me. Stories heard from this author is warned to not believe everything that is told. Haha... Just joking! So it begins...

Friday was a blast. So was Saturday and Sunday. Definitely a blast. Did i say blast? Well, it didn't explode if you were assuming that but if it did, then well i won't be here typing this entry anymore right? Most probably it will be a headline for the Saturday's news! Haha... Okay, back to the main topic of Friday night! Started right on time. *Finally something that has time conscience in it.* I went there at six. The superior said it would be alright if we couldn't go at four. So i went at six to be assigned as a security. Secure the premises. As if! hehe... Well, i was standing guard in front of the main entrance and after just putting my tag up, people were like already coming in. Well not in big herds or groups, just few people. I guess they were all hyped up for the concert as Free 2 Be concert are well known in Miri. Then came my friend, Lester, who also become one of the security guards. Being security is fun! Have to be mean and evil. You are basically an evil good person. *laughs*

Our position in the concert was to keep the peace in the right hand side of the concert hall. Easy task right? Well, it would have been if the people that flooded the whole stadium suddenly just came and the sits on the floor was getting limited. That being the case, the upper authority had then command the grand opening of the top floor. More and more people flooding and i had to go to the toilet. Hey, when i need to go, I NEED TO GO! *Plus, i don't want to make a scene where someone goes, EWWW! He peed in his pants! Right!* So i went to the toilet with my mean looking face still on me. After that, i was then dragged to do my post at the main entrance where i should back-up the line that is holding the flood humans from breaking in through the ground sittings. The main line of defense were directing the flood waters upstairs where they were promise with sits for the concert. Me? I was just at the back of the line to look mean and scare off those kids with that mean look on my face so that they will not spring a leak at the barrier.

Humans just like to go against commands sometimes. We ask them to go up, they want to go straight. Well i can't blame them since the management didn't know that a whole flood was coming. Haha... Guess the communication between the crew was just not good cause the line at the main entrance told the people to go up and the people above told the people to go down. This cause a massive jam in the flow of the flood. It wouldn't be that bad if well, the management got prepared for the unsuspected flood of humans. Just very interesting. They only prepared 1000 chairs on the hall and just expected that much of people coming. Who knew that more and more was just at the back crushing to go in just to watch the concert? Interesting don't you think? So looking at the opposite direction of the performance stage, cause i had to look mean and control the flood, i basically just miss the concert cause i had to prevent people from sneaking in from holes of the barrier. Stopping them in their tracks and seeing them terrified as if they seen a ghost. *Wow, i'm a ghost~* The power of being security.

So that is about me doing my job. The concert consist of many events. First it was a countdown before it started and everyone just love to countdown with the little movie when there is only 10 seconds left. It was nice entry to start the concert. Then if comes with prayer. *Did i state that this concert was an outreach? Guess i didn't. Well, it is sponsored by Scripture Union. So you can say is part concert part evangelism. Think that is cleared~* Then comes the opening song. Just one song but then came the dance and everyone shouted lots. You can hear the whoos alright. They actually cover over the whole volume of the speakers. Yeah, it was that loud! hahaha... Then after the dance is over, came the concert type singing. This is the part where everyone started to jump and have fun. Singing and jumping around is much associated with music that is loud and fast. Thus, praising the Lord at the same time. Wonderful isn't it? Everything goes accordingly. After the concert event came the little message of Jesus. Preached by Pastor Chris Long. Superb preacher to the youth which is his audience. Mostly though i do say there are some older people hanging around. Pastor Andy would be his wonderful side kick as an interpreter for the night. This will lead to the alter call where whoever wants to accept Jesus as their personal savior goes to the front for a prayer. *Nice isn't it?*

So that ends the concert for day 1. The time that it ended? Around 10 30. Cool eh? From 7 to 10 30. That would be 3 and a half hour. I don't know how long i stood there but i do know that i sat around 45 minutes and then it was duty time again. So basically stood around 2 hours plus? Wow, i didn't know my legs held me up so long. Thank you legs! Haha... Well, as for day 2 and day 3, basically the same event in order but only the last day, they had drama. Nice. If i was to write about it, it would probably be copyrighted. So i assume it is the best of choice not to write about the drama. I don't think i need to elaborate on day 2 and 3, do i? It is quite self explainable isn't it? Oh, the only difference? We changed post to the upper right side of the stadium to guard its peace from the unpredictable annoyance! hahaha... That is all that is different from day 1. Nothing else. So to complete this entry, lots of new believers and tons of jumping and really loud shouting. Lots of people. Don't know how to control them from moving around and that is the end of the concert. Free 2 be 2007 ended the way it should. :D

Preparing...

Soon going for the concert for the last day. Will update when everything is done! :D

Wait for me eh? I will just take a few minutes to take my shower and whole lots of hours doing my job in the concert. :D

Later! :D

Absentness

What better way to enjoy Christmas songs? Of course, listen during Christmas time. To me, every time you can enjoy a song, it is the best time ever. The song doesn't actually have to be played only on that occasion. Don't you think so too? If it is very nice, wouldn't you just want to listen to it no matter when? hehe... My point? All music are enjoyable anytime anywhere! :D

Guess you guys who had read the above introduction should now known what music i am currently listening while i blog. Hahaha... Well, i choose the music while blogging is because it is very jazzy and soothing to the ears. It makes me want to sleep and relax and keeping a nice beat. Yeah, the perfect atmosphere to blog. It is the different condition of the atmosphere that makes it fun to blog. I think? Who knows? Different people different preference. For me, i just like a nice background music while doing some blogging. Hahaha... It is actually a really nice setting in a romantic restaurant. Dim lights, candles, tables and chairs matched. So anyone wants to go? Actually i don't really know any romantic restaurants in Miri. Maybe you know and you can bring me to one? Hehe... Need to prepare so next time can bring my precious one what! :P

Music does affect lots of things eh? Just a little change in the music and it can really change the whole environment. No wonder pubs always put those really jumpy music. Why? Of course to make their customers jump. Easy answer? I guess. Music have big effects on our individual life. It is just a very interesting phenomenon. Some people can even judge a person's mood by just listening to the music that they are listening to. Well i guess the music is an emotional stuff. Can that be a good conclusion? I don't think so. To my opinion, music is a very powerful instrument that can totally affect us. Either emotional or physical. Definitely a very powerful thing in this world. Without it, it would be a very boring place to be. Even the games that you play will be like plain! Who would want to play games then? Hahaha...

So i was wondering why i am talking about music so suddenly. Currently still solving my own question posted by me. Don't ask me why, i just do that sometimes. Fun? Definitely. Reason behind all this? No sure answer. One thing that is for sure, i like all music. Hahaha... Totally jumping around eh? Can't blame me, i jump too much! Blame my activeness if you want. =D I can just sleep now if i wanted to. The music is just so so so so relaxing. It would be perfect just having a cup of tea right in front of me now. WAIT! Wouldn't that be just like an adult person reading stuff with a cup of coffee or tea just to relax? I'm not that old! hahaha... Well, maybe a little but tea is good! Delicious too! It can be drank just like that or you can add sugar and milk. It is called by the local here Tea C. No idea why the C but maybe it is cool, you know? Thus the C came. Hahahaha...

So wouldn't you want to know what this post is all about eh? Well, it is absolutely nothing specific to be exact. I just do this post for fun. Guess i was bored. Hahaha... Yeah, definitely something wrong in the brain? I'm not sure. Only time would tell. Can you tell me what i am doing now? Whoops, that would be a wrong question asking you. Hehe... Well i think i am typing now. Idiot? Hmm... that depend on how you look at it. =D Cheer up! Nothing to be confused about. If it was so confusing, then it would mean my mind is confusing too. Is it? Well, they say that words comes from your mind so i am actually talking my mind out? Cool. And that is how i amaze myself sometimes. Hahaha... Funny how i find things out the weirdest way but it is fun! Better than learning the normal way. By the way, what is the normal way? Hahaha... Question to ponder? You be the judge.

Happenings all around is always changing. Makes it hard to keep up with it eh? No need to fear as i shall give you a some sort of advice for this problem. Well, it is not one hundred percent the perfect solution but you can use it as an advice? It's all up to you. In my opinion if things keep changing around and you wish to keep up, what to do? First, for me, i think i will just let them change first. Don't bother about it first. Observe how it is changing and instead of chasing to keep changing when it changes, think ahead and overtake the changing and then only change accordingly. Easy to say but hard to do as we only see what is in front and how far our eyes can see. Then comes the second thing. Try not to look at what is in front but the big picture at the far end. It might be small at first but once you concentrate on it, it will be bigger. Patient would be the key. Hard? Definitely. I also have trouble doing that sometimes but it does help me. :) Maybe you can try it too right? No harm trying right? Hehehe...

Maybe you have better solutions to how you want to view your surrounding changes. It is all up to you. All i can say that what you do is what you will become. Everything has a consequence. I think i say too much sometimes. Technically i type too much. Hahaha... I should just learn how to keep quiet. So i shall just do that now. =D Enjoy! :P

*I wrote all this in random thoughts. So forgive me if i had hurt you in any way that you might find sensitive. Hehe... Being the random me, how could something not random come out? Ah, sensitivity! :D*

Age by George Carlin

Got a mail some day ago and it is about aging. Funny how this story tells us how age manipulate our minds from when we are young to when we are old. Something very interesting worth sharing. Without further a due...

George Carlin on age

(Absolutely Brilliant)

IF YOU DON'T READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR LIFE. AND WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED, DO AS I AM DOING AND SEND IT ON.

George Carlin's Views on Aging

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!"You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . . youbecome 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you'rePUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40,REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay "them."

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name isAlzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them , at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER :
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Hope you guys enjoy the story above and well, how to enjoy life is entirely all up to you. As for me, i am just being me! :D hehehe....

Cleansing The Air

Finally it rained! YAY! It hadn't been the better time to rain as yesterday the haze was really bad when i wanted to go sleep. Praise the Lord that it rained and now the smell of the air is so much more cleaner that than of yesterday. It was kind of hard to breathe actually.

Almost choked but didn't. It was late in the night when suddenly the whole of outside view became hazy. It was scary. You are asking why was i outside so late at night? Well, i have to feed my dog and that's the reason i had to go outside. I wonder how do the animals breathe with that kind of smoke. Animals are amazing. No doubt about that. Coughing would be heard from me before going to bed. Why? Maybe because i am already so old? Hahaha... Nah, it's just the haze. It was HOT too. My goodness, if it didn't rained today, it would be still a baking oven even at home. No wonder people invented fans. =D Simple reason leads to simple invention. Nice!

Do not want to talk so much on the weather but that is the main topic for the little town of Miri. Why? Cause every time i go to school, my friend will definitely ask me, "Wasn't it hot yesterday?" I guess tomorrow i won't be hearing that question anymore! :D Sometimes the rain just make a question less. hehehe... Yet sometimes the rain makes a simple answer hard. Like if you want to go out and suddenly it rained, what are you going to do? To go or not to go? hehehe... Simple answer made hard. So weather has it's weird effects on us humans. I wonder why. When it is too hot, we complain it is too hot. When it is always raining, we complain when is the rain going to stop. The uniqueness of us humans. Interesting? A little. =P

As i look outside my window now, big black clouds are gathering and i do wonder if there are going to have a down pouring party tonight. Since it ain't raining yet, and the clouds are rather prepared, the outcome is so obvious. I do not know as these things are really unpredictable. Some might say, YES! IT'S GOING TO RAIN! Then some might say, no way, it isn't going to rain. Who should you believe in? Well that would all depend on whether you want it to rain or not. If you want it to rain, then most probably you will believe the first one. If you do not want it to rain, the second will be your newest friend. hehehe... A little changes in the weather also makes interesting responses from people. Observing much? Nah, just a common fact. hahaha...

Sun is once again reigning supreme in this afternoon. Makes you want to know if it is going to be a down pour since the clouds are so mono color. After seeing the sun, it has become more colorful. So what will be the conclusion for tonight's weather forecast? Bring it! Will be waiting! hahaha... =D
