Box!!


One student
One gangster
One interest
One rival
One ring
One battle

These words had summarized the story and the message that this movie try to bring out. It is a story about youth, about the spirit of never give up, about the will to take on challenge...

A student, who is always scoring good result, has a friend who is a gangster... they are friends since young. The student admire his gangster friend very much, especially when he saw him fighting in the ring for boxing championship. In the end, he was inspired to join in the boxing club as well. From a weak-book-worm, he manage to transform himself to become one of the best boxer in high school. Together with his gangster friend, they aim high in winning against the high schools tournament record holder in the coming boxing championship...

A very nice story indeed. very good plotting, entertaining and yet sending a lot of meaningful message at the same time. Watched it during my flight from Italy back to Malaysia on board of the airplane. I'm not sure where can you get it, but I would recommend you guys to have a look at it if you can.

圣诞节(不)快乐

笑够...
闹够...
疯够...
玩够...
是时候回到家...
脱下面具...
回归自我...
冷冷的...
淡淡的...
慰藉自己...
祝福着这可悲的自己...
圣诞节...不快乐...

我...寂寞就好

还是原来那个我...
明知道结果却不愿接受的我
明知道结果却依然做梦的那个我
也许只是单纯的想让自己爱错
也许只是傻傻的想让自己解脱
但是,到最后会有什么?
也许...什么都没有
会得到什么?
也许...什么都得不到
然而,我...还是无法阻止自己
无法克制自己...
全心全意地付出我所能付出的
不求什么...
最后的最后,只留下我一个人...
一个人痛到受不了,伤到快疯掉
这时候...也没有谁来安慰拥抱
被想起的过去,点点滴滴...
化作了雨,润湿了眼底
感叹人生怎可能尽如人意
缘,这个字实在太难猜透
就算相见无期
在某个夜里,我...依然会想起你
虽然我那思念并没有任何用
我那等待也是最傻的承诺
让回忆也变得寂寞...
我...筑起了一层层的保护墙
我...让自己的身心长满了荆棘
我...寂寞就好...

Towards 2011 - Part 1

Spent some time thinking and thinking... trying my best to plan and organize my life for now. First will go for some of my daily life... slowly I will go for some other things... plan for the coming year of 2011...

Although I'm getting more and more not fit for sports due to several old injuries and new injuries... but still I will spend my time for doing sports, be it badminton or jogging or anything. Have to sweat myself, better than sit there and do nothing everyday. I'll need to get myself a new pair of court shoes... 

I will continue in modelling Gundam, although it may not be that often as before, but still... my passion for modelling is still burning inside of me. I will try my best to squeeze out some time to play with it... how far do I want to take my modelling to? I wonder... but for the mean time, I will stick to my current level and move on... maybe joining a modelling competition next year? Well, who knows?

About photography... I guess I will take a slow start instead. I had decided to get myself a G12 instead of DSLR... is not an issue of money, but for now, I want to put my concentration on other things first... when I'm able to give in full determination in photography, then only I will get myself a DSLR. For now, I shall stick with the compact camera and squeeze the most out of it... G12 is more than enough for me right now as I travel a lot and is troublesome to always carry a DSLR around. It is also a "bridge" given to myself, whereby I  will try to sharpen my skills further before I hop into the pool of DSLR.

The most important thing that I will focus in... yes, is to learn my guitar. I had already decided to go full throttle on it for next year. I will get myself enroll into a weekly class for sure, and slowly I hope I can get myself play better. I don't want to waste my time anymore... and is time to pay back my relatives expectation for giving me this beautiful guitar. I will try my best, although I might not be able to excel, but at least I want to do the very best that I can for now.

Well, other than all these... will try to improve many other things and aspect in my life... maybe they are minor, but hope that all those minor things will slowly become major in my life which will eventually gives a positive influence. There are still a lot more to think and plan... but no rush... slowly and take it easy... one step at a time...

安息...


今天报章上看见了一则新闻...一个男生,为爱自杀...对许多人而言,也许只是“另一则自杀新闻”,但是,对我而言可以说是一种冲击。早上听见了同事说他朋友的朋友自杀了...对,就是他了。翻阅着新闻,感觉突然变得十分不安。原来这样的事情,也可以在这么接近自己的身边发生。

突然觉得有些恐惧,害怕着哪一天身边的亲朋戚友也这样轻生...
突然觉得有些伤感,原来人真的可以那么的脆弱...
突然觉得有些惋惜,一个大好青年就这样离开了大家...
突然觉得有些心痛,男生已经走了,但是身边的人还在议论纷纷...

说真的,男生的心情,其实不难了解。当为一个人付出了全部,换回来的却是一句“我爱你,但是我要离开你”...试问谁能够不心碎,谁能够不感觉到绝望。也许是因为曾经有过相同的经历,所以我懂得男生的心情与感受。这,的确不是一般人能够承担得住的伤痛。记得当初,我也是让自己沉沦在泪水里,久久无法自拔。眼泪,流了再多也无法挽回什么。声线,哭到沙哑也不能唤回什么。

事到如今,并不是怪罪男生身边的人没关心他没开解他的时候。
事到如今,并不是怪罪男生的行动到底是无知还是解脱的时候。

事情已经发生了,再怎么疼惜也无法挽回了。对于我们现在依然活着的人而言,我们能够做些什么呢?

多关心身边的人。虽然你未必能够敞开他人的心房,但是至少能够温暖他的肩膀。
多爱惜身边的人。虽然你未必会得到任何回报,但是至少能够填满他的空虚。
多珍惜自己。虽然事事为能如意,但是切记柳暗花明又一村。
多尊重别人的生命。每个人都有权选择生活方式,请别把自己的观念强加于他人身上。

男生找不到出路,选择了离开。也许有人认为这很愚蠢,有人认为是逃避。但是,事到如今,我觉得我们应该做的,就是尊重他的选择,然后希望他能够得到安息。也希望他的家人能够早日平复情绪,收拾心情,勇敢地,连男生的份...也一起...好好的活下去。

Italy... an amazing journey

Well, never really thought of heading to Europe in my life... yet. And never ever thought of it would be this early... anyway, it turns out that I need to go for a business trip to Italy for 1 week. It's so sudden that I got no idea how should I react. A rush in preparing for the winter, and there I'd already boarded the midnight flight all the way to Milan. I do transit at Amsterdam, which I believe is another nice city (well, at least the airport is nice...) but since I'd just hang around for few hours in he airport, so nothing much I can tel about it.


The moment of my arrival to Milan wasn't so impressive actually. Touch down at Malpensa International Airport, but honestly the airport looks old even though it is just about 5 years old. Maybe this is their unique design that doesn't suit my taste? Have some upset moment when dealing with a waitress in a restaurant... Anyway, met up with Marco, one of my company's distributor at the airport while waiting for my colleague from Dubai to touch down an hour later. Have a nice chat with him while trying to get myself comfortable with the new environment. Jet-lag? Well, not really. I got a whole 14 hours of time during my flight to adjust myself according to the time zone. After my colleague landed, we head to the hotel in Assago, Royal Garden Hotel.


The next day, our distributor, Mr Francesco and Ms Paula pick us up to their office for a cup of Italian Espresso. It is very aromatic, but indeed it was too heavy for me and my colleague. Italian just like to drink such a concentrated cafe. We then head on to Turin, where we will have our meetings with other dealers and technicians for the upcoming training. There's about 20 of them, and they are really some nice and friendly guy. A bit of admiring them, as they gave me the feel of "work hard, play hard, eat hard, and enjoy every moment in your life". During the five days of training, which my colleague and I were their trainer for giving them training on my company's product, I think I'd learnt a lot from them, far more than what they had learnt from me I guess. Well, it is a nice experience indeed.


After the 5 days training ended, we head back to Milan and stayed back in the same hotel. The next day was Saturday, we woke up early in the morning and checking up what we can do for the day in Milan. Francesco and Paula pick us up from the hotel and we head for San Siro Stadium, the home for AC Milan and Inter Milan Football Club. From the outside, the stadium looks huge, but when we get inside, the feeling was totally different. One may start to wonder why the stadium feels smaller when you are inside... anyway, this is perhaps something good as it means when you are watching a match in the stadium, you are much closer to the footballers. A tour around the stadium and the changing room... follow by the museum which host all the trophies and jersey... it is a nice trip, even though I'm not a die-hard-fan but still I can feel the stream of emotion running in everyone's body.


Next, we head for a very nice lunch in Milan town center. Milan, far more artistic than you can ever imagine. Every building, every street, every corner, everywhere... you can feel the sense of art, sense of history, sense of heading back to the 90's, 80's and 70's... by the time we finish our lunch, it's already past 2pm. Our distributors decided to let us free to travel around as we like, and we really appreciate it. We first entered the Duomo Church, a really holly and magnificence place which everyone shouldn't miss. The design, the statue, the lights, the prayer, the decoration... everything is just perfect inside Duomo, is like we are entering to another dimension in the world. Next stop, we head for the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a shopping distinct to be precise. You can find a lot of nice shops and nice items here... but you must be able to have the money to spend as well. We went to the Via Dante next, another street for some shopping spree... and ends up at Castello Sforzesco, which is an ancient castle. Throughout the journey, we were greeted by snow... first time to see it in my life of 24 years. Well, honestly, it's not really that special. We'd been imagining too much and put a lot of fantasy in snowing... but when you are in it... it is just... snow.


Since we are no longer touring with our distributors, we have to find our ways back to our hotel. So we get our ass in the local subway which is called "Metro" and head to Famagosta, the nearest town to Assago. Then we take a bus and journey back to our hotel. The next day, we took the subway again from Famagosta to Cardona, and then we transit for Malpensa Express which ride us all the way to the Malpensa Airport. For our last few moments in the express train, we were farewelled by heavy snow... indeed it is very nice to see the whole world in white... but it is something that the local hate the most as they will have trouble getting around with their cars. Arrive at the airport, checked-in, do some last minute shopping, board the plane and ready to adjust my body-clock back to Malaysia time... by the time I leave Italy it was the evening, the sky is still bright. While the plane head towards Kuala Lumpur, I stared outside of my window... I was amazed by the scenery I saw outside. The sky is in half, a side is bright while another is dark. My flight is flying from the bright sky zone and entering the dark sky zone... slowly, slowly... the whole process last for about half an hour until the plane had finally entered totally into the night. Speechless, and I'm a little regret for not taking the pictures of it. Hope that there will be a second chance for me to do so.


Throughout the whole week in Italy, I found that Italians are very friendly towards Italians. Even if they don't know each other. I'd found that there are Italians that are very helpful to travelers who doesn't speak Italian language. And of course there are less friendly one. Italian food is simply superb. Their wine is something I believe cannot be found else where. A week stay in Italy, three hours of tour in Milan... everything just seems doesn't enough. Hopefully I'll have the chance to drop by again someday. To explore more on Italian food, to snap more pictures of the buildings, to learn more of the Italian culture...


And I'd almost forgot a very nice scene which I saw when heading to the factory back in Turin. We passed by a school everyday, not sure is it a primary school or kindergarten. It is not the type of school you'll see in Malaysia. It is a house, with a lot of windows, and everyday when I head to the factory, I can see parents are standing outside of the gate and starring at their children who were studying in the school through the windows... every time I see it, it warms my heart during the cold winter. A very nice scene that I regret for unable to snap it with my camera.


Well, that pretty much wrap up my experience of staying one week in Italy. My first stay in Europe as well, and it doesn't disappoint me, not at all. You may browse the pictures I'd taken through my facebook. For those who are planning to head to Milan, need not to worry as travelling in Milan is very easy and convenient. And honestly I'm starting to miss the atmosphere and food right now... till then, Ciao~
