A New Earth

When I first saw the title of this book, I thought it was all about our environment and how we can save it and I was highly recommended by Oprah Winfrey. So I went to grap this book of the shelves while it is still selling like hot cakes. But some how it was lying in my book shelves for months and collect dust. Anyway when I bought A New Earth I was actually reading Secrets. But I give up halfway through.
Since now I'm working part-time and I manage to find time to read books when I'm waiting for the feeder bus to work and off work. And of course in between my working hours when there were no customers. When I started to read, I almost wanted to stop reading it as it was very complicated and it was not about the environment (silly me). But as I read along, it is getting more interesting and I would some how feel like reading more to find out more, how you identify with yourself and improving it. Now I know why it is called A New Earth, I guess I don't have to finish reading the book to find out why it is called A New Earth, it has gradually, slowly but surely change my perspective in the things I see and see a totally new earth, old habits are definitely hard to die but I will definitely try to change it.
After reading a quarter of the book, I start to see things differently, I wonder if I were to finished reading the book, would it actually open my eyes to see things differently. Somehow I actually find this book more interesting then "Secrets", that is just my personal opinion and it is totally up to what you think of the book, A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle.

Eye Opener!!!

Ever since I started working part-time at IKANO Power Centre, it really opened my eyes to the world of wonders and I feel like I had some culture shock what I was about to share with you. As mentioned I worked in IKANO Power Centre and food there is never cheap and probably the cheapest would be the hotdogs at IKEA.
After I bought the hotdog I move to the island where all the toppings were, and I got startle buy this Malay girl with "tudung" come up from the corner of the island. Besides being startle I was shock to see her scooping all the chopped pickles and onions into a plastic bag in her back pack. No wonder when I reached the island the toppings where almost gone.
I leave her alone to do her scooping while i go look for a table to sit while I enjoy my lunch. As usual lunch time a little pack so I manage to get a table that is next to the carbonated dispenser machine. And the same girl is there filling up her cup with Pepsi and suddenly I realise she has been walking back and forth form the machine to the bin and she was actually filling the papercup with coke and bring to the bin there to pour into her water bottle until it is finally full only she left. Here is a video clip of her doing her last round of filling the Pepsi and a picture while filling the paper cup.

Sometimes I just wonder why is she doing this? It just makes me feel like she would probably take home the toilet papers as well? What is on her mind? And there is actually a CCTV there.

Sniff Sniff

Ever heard of people got rob and not knowing it after sniffing some perfume? And for some case women got raped as after sniffing some aroma thingy and did not know what happen. Today I got to see first hand or should I say it happen to me but nothing happened.
As some of you knows I'm working part-time in an home accessories shop and while my lady boss where busy with customers and this Chinese guy came into the shop with the most irritating look on his face and it just smell fishy. He walks in like those door to door salesman with a bag in his hand. First question he ask, do I work in this shop and after I answer yes, he reach for a tiny little box with Kenzo fragrant printed on the cover of the box. Then he continues to ask, do you mind if you tell me you like it or not? I was wondering, like what? Then with another hand he reach in his pocket another bottle of liquid and he was trying open it and ask me to sniff it. I think he must be crazy to ask me to stiff it? He was not wearing a uniform or have any identification on him at all and I think he must be thinking I am probably a 3 year old child which in fact i'm 10 times more. And after he left the shop, I actually see where he is going and it seems like he selects his target and he don't enter every shops. Hopefully by touching the box he gave me won't do any harm to me.
Because of all these news that has been circulate around, people are getting more aware of all these conman and yet at the same time it makes people more skeptical and lose trust in people. I guess it is alright to be more careful especially someone you don't know.

Public Transport

It has been awhile I actually took public transport like the Feeder bus, Intrakota or Metro bus. But today my buddy wanted to meet at Mid Valley and I was thinking how do i get there since I don't have a car. In my mind there are 3 affordable ways to get to Mid Valley from my house. One, Take the Metro bus that cost me RM1.60 that reach there directly. Two, take LRT and stopped at Bangsar station and then take a cab to Mid Valley. Three, take LRT to KL Sentral and change KTM to Mid Valley (which I don't really like to take KTM).
But with the hot weather I am just too lazy to walk 15 mins under the hot sun to the Paramount LRT so I waited for the Metro bus. It has been years that I took public transport and I don't really know what bus goes where and with my poor eye sight I practically have to stopped every bus that passes by. To my surprise the first buy I stopped were Feeder bus and their attitude are really bad. When the door opened I just ask Mid Valley? The bus driver just drive on and shut the door. At least give me an answer yes or not, that was very rude of him and I actually wated more then 45 mins for the bus that I am suppose to take. No wonder now people could not live without their own transport because our public transport sucks to the max.

National Treasure, Lost!

Yasmin Ahmad, more well-known with "Sepet" movie which has begged several awards in 2005 has left us on 26th July 2009 at about 11:25 pm which was confirmed by Media Prime Group Chief Operations Officer Datuk Seri Ahmad Farid Ridzuan, who was at the Damansara Specialists Hospital.

She has produced numerous heart-felt advertisements for locally and overseas too. Besides these heart-felt advertisements, I believe she brings us some controversial topics which most of us would avoid into the big screen and touched the very soul within us. I may not have watched all her films but "Sepet" alone is enough for me to know her role and status in the film making industry. You can see some of her works and thoughs in The Storytellyer, Part 2. Whether is her real blog or not I have no idea but you can see it for yourself.

She may have left us, but her works lived on. A treasure is lost, but history is made.

Farewell Yasmin Ahmad.

BYOB

Finally after two years and Malaysians is adapting the BYOB practice. Anybody knows what is BYOB? Bring Your Own Back. It was two years ago when I went to Taiwan, almost every place I go especially 7 Eleven's they practice BYOB. Whatever things my friend and I buy they will ask do you need any plastic bags? If yes, I will have to pay for the plastic bags. As normal human being, these are usually free things and now have to pay for it, they rather not pay.

And now IKEA has adopted this practice and I am so glad. I was walking in IKEA and as usual they have their announcement and when I heard it, I was so glad. IKEA first had the biodegradable plastic bags and now they practice BYOB. Each plastic bag they charge around RM0.20 for one bag, thank gooness I bought myself a very big and deep bag in Bangkok when I was there and it's very useful and everybody loves it. I guess European countries are more aware of their surroundings and the earth is depleting faster then the normal rate. Europeans have already started to use hybrid cars and I wonder when will asian countries too.

Sorry to say, but I find Malaysia is not doing enough to promote enough or create enough awareness to public how the earth is depleting rapidly. Even for the Influenza H1N1, when I was in Bangkok a month back, there were TV commercials every where to inform the public to constantly wash hands and they did their commerciall so funny that the public will remember it. And now even Taiwan have Coco Lee to sing BYOB to create awareness to the younger generations. Here is the video and enjoy, it is in Mandarin though.

Mariah vs. Eminem

I am pretty sure that most of you have heard Mariah latest singles OBSESSED and some may like it and some may not. I am a big fan of Mariah but I find this song is just okay only but after know the true meaning and what was the songs about, the picture is getting clearer. I don't like the MTV though, it makes her look like some dumb blonde. And of course the person who has been teasing her died at the end of the video.

How many of you knows, what was this OBSESSED song about? Is just a song to respond to Eminem's "Bagpipes from Baghdad". After ready both lyrics, you will get a clearer picture what is happening between both artistes.

"Bagpipes From Baghdad"

Oh! It's music to my ears, Oh man! How can I describe, the way I feel?
Fuckin great man! Okay, let me see How could I begin...

Locked in Mariah's wine cellar all I had for lunch, Was red wine, more red wine, and captain crunch,
Red wine for breakfast and for brunch, And to soak it up and in between snack, crackers to munch,
Mariah, what's ever happened to us, why did we have to break up, All I asked for was a glass of punch,
You see, I never really ask for much,
I can't imagine what's going through your mind after such,
A nasty breakup with that Laftin Hunkler, Weisman Gale, Nick Cannon better back the fuck up,
I'm not playin, I want her back you punk, This is Hello Kitty bedspread satin funk,
Mixed with egyptian, with a little rappin pump, Zappin Eric Clapton, (Shaft?), Frank Zappa crunk,
And yeah baby, I want another crack at ya,
You can beat me with any spatula thatcha want, I mean I really want you bad you cunt,
Nick you had your fun, I've come to kick you in your sack of junk,
Man I could use a fresh batch of blood, So prepare your vernacular for dracula acupunc-ture

[Chorus]
Bagpipes from Baghdad When will it ever cease, for Pete's sake he's crazy, to say the least
Bagpipes from Baghdad What's going through my mind half the time, when I rhyme, while blowing on my
Bagpipes from Baghdad Sombody turn the vacancy sign on, 'cause I'm gone, blowing on my
Bagpipes from Baghdad I run the streets and act like a madman, holding a glad-,

You can be a permanent fixture, In my lyrical mixture, I'm the miracle whit trixter,
My sig-nature sound, when the tube of lipstick's around, I'm bound to put on in an instant, wow
Man what an ensemble, what an assortment of pharma-
Ceuticals, it's beautiful, pill dust in my palm, my Cuticles get residue just from touching the bottle,
Never knew I could remind me so much of my mama,
I'll cut you like Dahmer, pull a butcher knife on ya,
The size of a sword boy, I'm like a fucken Red Sonia,
Get it stuck in your cornea, Nice knowin ya Norman,
You're so fuckin' annoyin, Drop the shovel boy, you don't know what the fuck ya doin',
I ain't playin' no fuckin' more, Nick Cannon you prick, I wish you luck with the fuckin whore,
Every minute there's a sucker born, Snuck up on Malachai and made the motherfucker suck on a shuck of corn,
Shuck of, shuck of corn, shuck of corn,
Hit Jason in the face with a hockey puck and told him it's fucken on,
What the fuck are you doin',
You're runnin' over the snow blower, With the lawnmower, blow on your Bagpipes from Baghdad

[Chorus]
Bagpipes from Baghdad When will it ever cease, for Pete's sake he's crazy, to say the least
Bagpipes from Baghdad What's going through my mind half the time, when I rhyme, while blowing on my
Bagpipes from Baghdad Sombody turn the vacancy sign on, 'cause I'm gone, blowing on my
Bagpipes from Baghdad I run the streets and act like a madman, holding a glad-,

In the bed with two braindead lesbian vegetables, I bet you they become heterosexual,
Nothing will stop me from molesting you, Tittyfucking you til your breastnipple
Flesh, tickles my testicles, Is what they said to the two conjoined twins,
How's it going girlfriends, you need a boyfriend, You need some ointment, just make an appointment, Who's gonna see the doctor first, we'll do a coin flip I just got my one year sobriety coin chip, When the bad get going, how bad does the going get
Baby you shouldn't have any trouble rubbing groins wit Each other, especially when you're joined at the hip, I'm going to get the needle, new thread from the sewing kit,
An attempt to seperate em and stitch em back at the loin shit, Lured the little boy with the chocolate chips ahoy chip Cookie, lookie even took me a polaroid, bitch

[Chorus]
Bagpipes from Baghdad When will it ever cease, for Pete's sake he's crazy, to say the least
Bagpipes from Baghdad What's going through my mind half the time, when I rhyme, while blowing on my
Bagpipes from Baghdad Sombody turn the vacancy sign on, 'cause I'm gone, blowing on my
Bagpipes from Baghdad I run the streets and act like a madman, holding a glad-,

[Vocoder] Hum-de-lay-le-lah-aaahhhhhhh [X4]

Sorry Sorry by Super Junior


Super Junior is no stranger to the Korean Pop culture, and after so long only this song somehow catch my attention and so is the MTV, I guess it must have been hard work to make a MTV non-stop with no error and I wonder how many NGs it took before they could complete this music video without dancing wrongly.

By the way, I think this is the biggest boy band I ever seen and everyone of them in the music video are from the Super Junior group non of them are those extra dancer.

Take a look for yourself....enjoy!

Gathering

Time do pass quickly, today I was meeting with my college mates and we were talking and obviously we have known one another for more than 13 years and it seems like just yesterday. It is always great to see friend excel in their working and personal life. Obviously some are married with kids and yet some of us are still single just like me.

Ever since I left college as the year passes by, the lesser I am in contact with my college mates. Everybody is busy with their work and life. Whenever they text me or call me, I would try to make it for some of the gathering as I find it great to know how my friends are doing. Sometimes I may hurt in a way that I put pressure to myself after meeting them. I would pop the questions what have I achieve compared to them?

Sometimes all the meeting up or gathering just makes me feel inferior in a way. But yet I am grateful and happy I still do have such friends around. We do talk casually, no hostility, no competition, but I guess if the environment were like that I probably won't attend such gathering. Anyway I had a great time and partly it is because to promote the cushion covers that I have been selling. I guess it is good to still stay in contact with most of your friends, you might not know what they can do or help you in the future. How the chain reaction could cause even though it started of small.

Step Of Faith

Just recently been meeting back some of my old friends which I have kind of lost contact with. And I though I go through tough choices and decisions but I guess everyone goes through the same thing and practically thinks the same way too.

There are times that I have been caught at the cross road, which way to take and it keeps linger in my head before the decisions has been made. There are always pros and cons in either choices, and it is always the other choices is something which you would like to venture into and yet have no experience in it and yet you have the opportunity but then you are afraid to take that step of faith into the unknown.

There are just too many things that goes in my mind, just too many "what if". But then again, if this "what if" keeps popping up I guess I won't be going any where but just stay complaisant. So there are times, in taking that step of faith into the unknown really takes a lot of courage and we will never know what would the results but to have faith it will work out and most importantly, no regrets. It really do take me some years to actually take the step of faith into the unknown. But somehow there are things that just pull me away from it and in the near feature, I will definitely take that step again which I would like to challenge myself.

Thank You!!!

I would like to thank all my friends and their families in supporting me by buying some of my cushion covers and of course those who help to make it happen. I have been trying very hard to get things going and on the right track but it is never and easy task. And I am really bless that I have friends been giving me ideas to go about it and a lot of input which almost overloaded my harddisk space, which I'm still trying to absorb everything I can.

To my surprise some of my friends which I have lost contact with slowly resurface and just a week ago I met an old friend which I have lost contact for more than a year or two. And yesterday we meet up for a drink and catch up with old time sake, a lot of information being shared and casual chat.

Just these few days a lot, I have learned a lot from all my friends and it just keep my brain exercising and I think in a way it is good before my brain slow down since I have not been working for quite some time.

Once again I would like to thank you all those who have supported me, making Living Tapestry comes true, giving me ideas and last but not least my business partners for making it work.

How?

As most of you know, I have been searching for job since March and had no luck in getting any. So I start sewing some cushions to tell online to make a living in order to support myself during this hard times.

I have been thinking a lot and trying to do something that is totally not related to my field of work. A friend of mine has been talking about opening a printing shop to do colour printing and the idea was on and off as we could not find a good location with the right price. And finally we got to find it with almost the right price and I am already up for the challenge but then now, I might have to put that idea on hold or probably hault.

Just a few days back, I brought my cushion covers to meet a friend at a shopping mall since she is interested in them. As I passed by I saw my ex-lady boss which I use to work part-time for her and she is selling all the home deco stuff. The chance is here and I ask if she take consignment so that I could put my covers to sell there. And to my surprise she is up for it, which just makes my day seems brighter. And she offers me a part-time job too while I do my own stuff and looking for new opportunity.

I thought since now the economy is not that good, at least there is a job rather then nothing to support myself. But what about my colour printing shop that I wanted to start with my friend? Again my salary is solely base on sales which is not stable so is this part-time job. I'm totally caught in between.

Snap Shot

As usual, nothing to do just play around with the digital camera and I did not expect the results where this nice. Totally loving it. I just can't wait to get myself a nice digital camera, it is just so troublesome for me without a camera. I guess I will have to patiently wait for it and work very hard to sell more cushion covers in order to get myself a nice digital camera to take more nice photos.

Somehow I just got addicted to photography and I'm sure these are amateur stuff, but I am loving it. I guess a picture tells a thousand words and different interpretatons.

Just recently I had a sms from an old friend, which I was kind of lost contact with. With the sms content about this 30 Hour Famine, but what caught my eyes were the word "charity".

What is 30-Hours Famine?
The 30-Hour Famine is a global movement against hunger and poverty. Participants go without food for 30 hours and get a glimpse of the dire conditions that children and families in need endure everyday.
They also raise funds, transforming their hunger into hope for children and families in need. The Famine aims to inspire and empower ordinary people to care for those in need, both locally and globally.

Living Tapestry Contest Updates 1

With a blink of an eye, one week has passed and it is time to update about Living Tapestry Contest. So far, there is no entry yet from Tapestry and -Mystery Zone- but I am still having a hopeful thought that, more entries will be pouring in soon.

I just wonder whether is my rules and regulations that scares people away or my prize isn't attractive enough or just that everybody are busy for the time being. Anyway there are still 24 days till the end of the contest, I guess it is still early to tell the respond.

Desktop Wallpaper

During my free time before the actual Living Tapestry was being launch, I actually did a desktop wallpaper for myself and some of my friends too. There are time I wish I know more about Photoshop and Illustrator so I can fully utilise all the functions there is. I guess all I need is time to actually know most of the things but at the same time, time is not on my side.
I will definitely take some time off to learn all there is to know for me to my work smoothly. Been spending a lot of time in Living Tapestry, looking for a job and worrying what will happen next as I have not been working for almost seven months. Just keeping my finger cross and hope everything will be alright. Leaving you a desktop wallpaper

Amaryllis


((infra red effect))

As some of you, it is a jungle out there in my garden. Flowers bloom all year round and different flowers, different timing and just these few day my Amaryllis bloomed and it is very beautiful and I manage snap a few photos of it, again with just a normal digital camera. And here are some info about the flower.

Meaning

Pride, splendid beauty, timidity


Origins
Known botanically as hippeastrum, from the Greek hippos, which means "horse", amaryllis bloom are huge, trumpet-shaped flowers clustered atop stately long, leafless stems. Members of the Amaryllidaceae family, amaryllises are at home in the tropics, and are native to South America and Africa. The flowers are traditionally sold during the winter holidays, both as cut flowers and packaged in potted bulb kits.


Availability and Vase Life

Year round, with peak supplies from October through May.


Care and Handling

If store in cold place, keep temperatures between 41-50 F. Temperatures below that my result in discolouration of petals and buds. Handle amaryllis carefully as blooms bruise easily.

Design Uses

An amaryllis stem is striking when used alone or in a vegatative design. Allow room in an arrangement for the flowers to open fully. Heavy amaryllis blooms may need extra security and support of a hyacinth stake or bamboo rod inserted into the hollow stem. The stem tends to curl outward when standing in water, which does not affect the life of the flower, but can disturb the design. To remedy, wrap a piece of clear tape or a rubber band around the end of each stem.

Colours

Reds, pinks, oranges, salmons, white and bi-colours
