tOm@kO's life ~*_*~

if you ask me why i did not blog for such a long time?
my answer would not be i'm busy.

why not?
because now is non peak period and also there is nothing much to do.

the reason behind why i'm not blogging is just because i'm tired.
and there is a lof of problem questioning myself.
whether to do or not to do.
and where should i proceed.
and how should i continue with what i have choose
even without support of others.

sometimes i'm always questioning myself whether what i did is right or wrong
but it seems that there is no right or wrong answer for everything that we had done and it's seems that thing that matters is only whether your happy with what decision you had made.

to face the quite side of me is very weird for me..
why? because to others i'm always the person who is happy cheerful and also possitive thinking.

if you wonder whether i have negetive thinking?
yes, i have negetive thinking as well
i would not like this negetive energy to affect others.
and also i would like to influence others so that they could influence more and more people in the future.

after looking at the poster and the synopsis and the cast below please tell me whether you wanna what this movie which is a local production on the cinema next year...
and maybe you can suggest what are the ways to enable you to go and what the movie?

SYNOPSIS
There is a proverbial Chinese saying that a family’s accumulated wealth cannot be maintained past the third generation.

This film explores this saying through the eyes of the Chinese in Malaysia and traces their history from the time of our forefathers to the current Chinese generation. The Chinese have had a significant presence in Malaysia since the early 19th century and through a myriad of activities have contributed to the growth of the Malaysian economy

This film uses period drama to capture the essence of the culture, diversity and social complexity of the Chinese in relation to family, love, relationship and business. The movie portrays this through the eyes of the Chan family as it evolves from one generation to another generation.

CAST and character
Charlie Chan (Nicholas Teo) is the first in the family of Chinese immigrants to be educated in the West. Young, smart and ambitious, he struggles between loyalty in upholding family traditions and true love. As he builds his fortunes, he experiences the pain and pleasure of life and how everyone and everything is intertwined.

Linda (Carmen Soo) is the calming influence in Charlie's turbulent life. She is the soul mate and true love of Charlie destined to remain forever at the background.

Susan Chan (Amber Chia) is the faithful and loving wife who is adored by the family except for the one who matters most to her.

Chan Wah (Cheng Kam Cheong) is the head of the Chan family who built the family business from rags to riches through determination and shrewdness. He is the perennial influence in the family.

Judy Chan (I-Fun) is the rebellious sister desperate to win the approval of her father and to overcome the traditional prejudice against women inherent in Chinese culture.

Alan (Paul Khoo) and Adam (Mervin Sia) are Charlie's buddies who are arrogant and come from privileged families. They squander their inherited wealth on girls and parties. 

today i wanna talk about my seniors... two person a guy and a gal...
why i wanna talk about them?
because they 'suck'

it's not that i dun like them at all.
it's just tat i dun like their way of threating my immediate boss -CMW..
very fake and lame...

the stories goes like this...
yesterday was the annual dinner and dance for our firm and
my boss was late and she was no where to be seen.
i have been searching her high and low here and there..
but she is no where to be seen.
and i was telling them come come let's go and get our boss..
and the guy was telling no dun go and find her.
i was feeling upset with the guy for that particular moment...
why?
because i just feel that he dun really treat the boss well lur...

and sometimes i just feel poeple are just too fake and
i think i would rather mix with myself than the gang which i'm currently mix with.
why? because 'dao bu tong bu xiang wei mou' which means that
when we are not in the same road we would not stay together for long.

jus feel that their lifestyle does not interest me much.
mayb i'm looking at one of the side of the coin and i did not look at the other side of the coin and i already placed my judgement...

there is only 10 days left for the year of 2005.

today when i called the irb officer the officer told me that he is very busy and would only able to handle my case after this year which he told me is only 10 days away.

now i only realised how fast time flies.
it seems to be a very very long year for me...
been trough my acca core paper
and also passed my acca paper

and then get to work temporary in a body care company
and get to know some new friends

then join a big accounting firm and start my courier in tax...
and now there is only 10 days left in 2005 and it's time to say bye bye

wondering whether there is anything which i wanna to do and yet i have not do anything about it?
maybe there is and i should prepare the list and target of things i wanna achieve in the near future.

and last but not least,
a reminder to those who had not yet renew their IC
the due date for free renewal is until 31/12/2005
please do so i you wanna enjoy free renewal of IC

there is something in the e-mail call CC and BCC
this is used when you wanna e-mail something important to your client and you wanna let your superior to know what are you doing at the moment.

the power of cc is to let those poeple who are more superior aware of what are their subordinate been hanging around and doing what kind of 'big business' behind the superior's back.

sometimes it will take a very very big reaction from the superior as they are not aware for all the while what had happened around and what action which had been taken.

somehow i found that after sometime that we started to use the power of cc and now our client would like to use the power of cc back on us.
that is whenever they send us something they would cc it back to the big boss so he or she would notice what is happening around.

and bcc is even a more powerful tool in the sense that the person who you e-mail to did not notice who you had a copy of the e-mail.

i had a bad hair day since last nite when i come back from work.
the internet was not working.
it's seems that the only entertainment and communication tools for me is off.
sometimes i just feel that life is difficult without the pc and the internet.
it's difficult for people who do not like to talk too much and having difficulties to express their feelings like me to communicate with others.

and i called up tm net streamyx with the number 1300 88 9515 to 'question' them what had happened to my internet connection? what is the problem with them always having the line being break down and stuff.
haha eventually it happened once to me earlier this year.
when i called them the second time, i was kindda upset because the person who is handling the customer service insist that i made a call to 100 to ensure that my phone had a dail tone and then if there isn't any then only they would lodge a report for me.
i think this is very unfair since i already called the second time and the fuller who attended my call previously promised that if i called the second time where my connection has not been established and they will lodge the report for me.
and this annother customer service would not lodge a report for me.
haha.. i pretended that i'm upset and eventually she lodge a report for me.
and i think i would call them again if i found out that my matter had not been taking in to account seriously.
why? because i pay on time every month and i did not enjoy any value added services.
so i think i should enjoy some good services from TM since they have changed their trade mark and also promised that better services would be provided to the client.

then i went to sleep wondering what other things that i can do...
and this morning when i went to work, when i reach the office i notice that i forget to bring my tag.
as u know that big company you have to tag in and out everytime you go in and out of the office.
and luckily the tea lady was there to let me to tag in.
and i notice that when you do not have the tag you have to fill up the form which is required to signed by your group leader, manager and director.
and eventually everyone will end up knowing that you did not bring your tag to work
and the worst thing is you have to state wat's the reason of failing to bring the tag to work.
i think i should say my dog hold it to sleep and i did not notice it.
(in fact i do not have any dog at home)

then later in the afternoon when i came back from lunch i notice there is something which is very weird for my shoe.
i found that the heels are something wrong.
and i found that there is a nail on the heels and something is missing from the heels..
yes the heels is missing.
no wonder i feel so okward when i walk in and out of the office.
aiyo dun care too much do my office stuff to complete the stuff which are given by my group leader lo.

at the end of the day i found that there is something i think that there is no learning culture in the group i'm currently with. and i do hope that something would change with the attitude of the staff and we could serve the customer / clients better in the near future.

外面~周迅

外面的世界很精彩
我出去会不会失败
外面的世界特别慷慨
闯出去我就可以活过来
留在这里我看不到现在
我要出去寻找我的未来
下定了决心改变日子真难捱
吹熄了蜡烛愿望就是离开
我出去会变得可爱
外面的机会来得很快
我一定找到自己的存在
一离开头也不转不回来
我离开永远都不再回来


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
found myself liking this song gradually.
just feel that sometimes i've been protected for the such a long time and it's time for the to go out and explore myself.
and of course i would not be like the end of the song never come back again.

外面的世界~齐秦

在很久很久以前
你拥有我
我拥有你
你离开我
去远空翱翔
外面的世界很精彩
外面的世界很无奈
当你觉得外面的世界很精彩
当你觉得外面的世界很无奈
我会在这里衷心的祝福你
我还在这里耐心的等着你
每当夕阳西沉的时候
我总是在这里盼望你
天空中虽然飘着雨
我依然等待你的归期

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
this is a very very nice song from a very very popular artice in the 80's and early 90's and i still think that his song is nice and nobody can copy his style of writing a song.


作为今年威尼斯影展的闭幕电影，《如果·爱》已前往威尼斯。作为一部爱情歌舞片，《如果·爱》的原声大碟抢在电影之前，在全亚洲同步上市。电影中多位演员也在片中载歌载舞，除了唱家班的学友及曾推出两张专辑的周迅，阔别国语歌坛五年多的金城武专诚为电影献声，而《大长今》“闵大人”的池真熙也挑战难度，为电影亲身配音及灌录国语录歌。电影国语原声大碟收录：张学友主唱《如果·爱》电影主题曲，并有多首由男女主角对唱的作品，如金城武、周迅合唱两首歌曲“十字街头”、“忘了我是谁”；池真熙的“美丽故事”，还有首度与学友合唱歌曲“命运曲”。至于单挑歌曲，周迅主唱“外面”、池真熙的“人生蒙太奇”、金城武的“假如”、张学友的“你是爱我的”、“男人本该妒忌”，以及久未有推出新曲的齐秦所唱的“外面的世界”也是舞动心弦的情歌。


⊙剧情简介

孙纳出身贫苦但志存高远，为了生存和成功，她不择手段，终于成为人人艳羡的大明星，然而命运弄人，十年之后在她要努力忘记一切的时候，她生命中两个重要的男人同时出现了--三人要同演一出戏，剧情和命运却惊人的相似，戏里戏外，已难分真假，在孙纳的心中，到底有没有爱过，他与他，究竟如何抉择……


⊙影片看点

该片耗资 8000 万人民币，由当年陈可辛执导的经典爱情影片《甜蜜蜜》、《金枝玉叶》的原班人马倾力制作，被业内人士预测为2005年最具观赏价值的华语影片。陈可辛表示，近几年他监制的几部电影如《晚娘》、《春逝》、《三更》系列在日韩和东南亚地区都取得不错的市场成绩，但是他始终认为华语电影的最终市场还是在内地，于是《如果…爱》成为他进军内地电影市场的第一部作品。陈可辛说，《如果…爱》的主题和《甜蜜蜜》一脉相承，但更注重影片的商业元素，因为他发现吸引内地观众走进影院的都是一些耗资巨大、充斥动作和特效的影片。于是他特别请到为《名利场》等好莱坞影片担任过歌舞创作大师的 Farah Khan 助阵，编排设计影片中的歌舞部分。陈可辛强调道，歌舞是用来包装影片的华丽外衣，观众只有走进影院，才能感受爱情主题的细腻和视听感受的奢华绚烂。


⊙学友与“如果爱”

“如果爱”是什么？它有一个问号在里面，如果就是不确定，爱是什么东西？如果你真的爱了应该怎么样？如果你爱了，会是一个态度！每个人都想明白，谁是自己生命不该错过的真爱！

张学友的“如果爱”，是陈可辛的、周迅的、金城武的、池珍熙的、他自己的“如果爱”的核心！

悲凄凄不是张学友最擅长的，但是他宁愿自己做戏也要做到极致。收敛起冷静犀利的嗓音，他的声线轻轻划过耳际，像蓝丝绒上划过的白珍珠，高贵清冷。舒缓而柔畅的旋律一点一点地涌过来，这一次没有排山倒海，力道却还是遮掩不住，透露在字里行间的滋味是有些黯然、萧索和晦涩的，的确，“每个人都想明白，谁是自己生命不该错过的真爱！”

张学友的“如果爱”是有情节的，那是一个男人深爱着另外一个女人的故事，女人又在某年某月的某一天巧遇了初恋的男友，三个人的局面只是掌握在了一个人手中，于是，他是导演、他改变了原本的命运，水到渠成的，然后色彩一点一点剥落，直至模糊不清。每个人都在拼命地确定着，确定着属于自己的那一份感情归宿，最终却落得个“闭上眼睛久久不能释怀”的下场，都是因为心碰触了爱！

冷静、柔顺、波澜不惊，这回到了张学友的原点上，只是用歌声讲述都市丛林中男女的感情纠葛而已，不能置身事外、也要像旁观者一样坦然自若，张学友以他醇厚的歌声和精妙的唱功，用音符与歌声忠实地传达了一种潜藏在心底深处的情感——如果能当时明白，后来的生命里，是快乐还是悲哀！

为了爱的义无反顾是不需要太多笔墨描述的，不与他人做比较，每个人都有自己的惊天动地，每个人都有自己的缠绵于心，所以，张学友下过很大的力道拼命地唱，却发觉“爱，在回忆里总是那么明白”！

脚步走到尽头、一切尘埃落定，清冽的旋律流淌在黯然的空气里，没有含混的音响，像是飘浮在水上的梦的呓语，将混沌的心思抽丝拨茧地捋顺。最后的终结，张学友也似乎略显疲惫地慨叹，困惑的心、流过的泪，就算结束了也已然存在，因为这就是爱！


★　歌神张学友坐镇

十一首歌曲中，张学友一人就唱了三首，其中包括电影的主题曲《如果·爱》，还跟池珍熙合唱了一首歌曲，是五人中唱得最多的。这也是张学友在《雪狼湖》之后，再次尝试将音乐跟电影结合。张学友说：“怎样将音乐跟电影结合，是我这几年一直在想的事情。大家都知道，现在音乐的市场不太景气，尤其在香港。如果能跟表演结合，就能给唱歌的人找到一条新的出路，多些出路总是好的。现在我的方法还很初步，刚刚开始，还得继续深化，这条路必须要成功。我觉得在我的有生之年都不一定能成功，把这种想法催化成型，但如果成功了，香港歌手的出路就会宽很多。”而具体到这张专辑的演唱，他说他改变了一下风格，尝试了很多歌剧式的演唱方法。

★　周迅曲风大变

比张学友改变更大的，是周迅。周迅独唱了一首歌曲《外面》，并跟金城武合唱了两首。导演陈可辛说，当初之所以选钟周迅，是因为她唱歌的方式非常特别，“像在说话，对你倾诉”。但最终出来的歌曲，除了《外面》接近周迅本来的风格之外，其余歌曲都跟之前的周迅完全不同。周迅说：“因为这次唱歌跟之前做唱片完全不同，所以有很大压力。所以除了《外面》，其他歌曲都没什么把握。以前做唱片，因为我嗓音的关系，所以比较内敛。但这次，导演要求把情绪完全外放，把情感完全唱出来，非常夸张地唱。当然，有挑战也是蛮好玩的。”

★　金城武重回歌坛

金城武在这张专辑中，唱了三首歌曲，自己独唱的只有一首。一直发展自己的电影事业，原本也是歌手的金城武，已经有将近十年没有开口唱歌。此次重回乐坛，引人关注。但是由于护照出现问题，金城武没能出现在当天的发布会。对于他的演唱部分，张学友的评价非常高。周迅也认为他唱得非常好：“我们在拍戏时，现场放出金城武演唱的部分，我还感到很惊奇甚至不敢相信。”周迅跟金城武合唱的《十字街头》，陈可辛将其形容为里程碑式的。

★　池珍熙首唱中文歌曲

大长今》中的“闵大人”池珍熙也参与了这部电影，并演唱了三首歌曲，都是国语歌曲。韩国艺人唱中文歌，焦点自然是他的中文。池珍熙说：“整个过程中，我的压力很大，花了很多时间来练习中文，很怕对白或者唱歌时，说得不好，但我又希望能够做到最好。”他所唱的三首歌曲中，有两首都是独唱，难度非常大。也因此，陈可辛、张学友、周迅等都在现场大赞池珍熙，赞他非常敬业，而且透露他在拍摄期间，为了练习中文，相互交流时能说中文就说中文，非常辛苦。

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
这部号称华人电影史上气势最磅礴的歌舞大片，不仅找来张学友、金城武、池珍熙和周迅这四位来自不同地方的巨星演出外，就连戏中的歌曲演唱也由四人亲自负责，并没有幕后代唱，卡司可算相当庞大。歌曲创作方面，唱片公司和电影公司亦找来多位亚洲知名且资深的音乐人参与，例如由善于做制作人和写电影作品的金培达当监制，写的歌则有台湾词人姚谦、娃娃和易家扬，以及音乐剧《四川好人》音乐总监高世章等，阵容不比张学友另一部创作音乐剧《雪狼湖》逊色太多。

不过，与其光说有什么歌星卡司或是制作班底，还是歌曲的水准方是最实际的一环。诚然，这张原声碟(这部电影)里的歌曲水准出色精致，多首歌曲在富耐听度、爱情的浪漫和歌舞片的热闹气氛之余，也富有很强的张力和一定的艺术性，风格流丽动人，很容易就让乐迷堕进那一份碟中 (毕竟电影还没上映，很难说是片中) 的氛围里，是些动听而杰出的作品，大抵有外国大片的水准，让人对电影也有一份期待。至于四位歌手则各有自己的歌唱表现，张学友的演绎就保持一贯的成熟、精湛，池珍熙以新鲜感搭救、周迅那一向偏沙的声音却能如此甜蜜，而久未唱歌的金城武亦能唱出一份忧忧的情怀。

主题歌“如果．爱”曲词俱佳，气氛浪漫抒情，学友的演绎亦动人，放在唱片的开首，是个不错的开始，像是整个故事的总览图。学友跟池珍熙唱的“命运曲”旋律尚佳，编曲的起伏得宜，两人中以学友表现得最出色，抢尽锋头，而初唱国语的池珍熙发音还好，但歌艺却被比了下去，但真的有新鲜感搭救这回事。

金城武和周迅的“忘了我是谁”是其中一首佳作，是首典型歌舞片的佳作，一听就会让人联想戏中的画面，二人的表现皆好，娃娃的词言简意远，余味挺深。“你是爱我的”和“男人本该妒忌”都是学友的作品，感情与技巧并重，挥洒自如是笔者给张学友表现的最佳评语。其他歌曲方面，周迅另外有份演绎的“外面”和“十字街头”都令人对她另眼相看，她的声音原来也可以如此柔情。

today wanted to watch narnia and i ended up watching this movie perhaps love.
i never think that joo would wanna watch this type of movie together with me.
i always have this impression that he is those type of people who do not really like those musical.
and sometimes i just feel it's difficult to communicate in the sense that our liking for music type and style is very very different.

i think there are a lot of people who wanna watch this movie but there isn't anyone to accompany them to watch this movie.
so i think i should be thankful and feel luckily i have someone to accompany me to watch this movie.

each and every member in our group would be delegated with their own portfolio and they have to take care of all the clients in their own portfolio.

so now my role in the group that i was placed under would be something like assissting my group member to ensure that all the portfolio within our group would be completed within the deadline.

and my senior tax manager would always encourage me to give them encouragement to work harder.
however i think as a junior i could encourage them but not to comment about how they work.

actually it's kindda hard for my group leader aka assistant tax manager to handle them since they would like to go back as soon as they fulfill the working hours requirement.

i would think that sometimes when it comes to performance, some of the staff they could not perform as expected and we wanna help but we do not know where to start with and how to help the person to perform better since they would be reluctant to change in the first place.

sometimes i see my group leader very hard breaking. and she is always the one who work until late in the evening and nite and yet all the staff would say that i wanna go back early. and she even have to send e-mail to the staff to ask about the progress of the tax comp.

and the feed back from the staff for the reason behind not being able to finished the job before the day end is, since she would not review the job by today i would not finished the job by today cos i will get it done 2moro and she will review it 2moro.

i think this is the most heartbreaking feedback which i think she could get as a group leader bah...

i notice that there is team work within the group, it's just that sometimes when you cannot finished the job, and you keep quite and waiting for others to open their mouth to ask you whether you need any help. i think this would not be the correct attitude of doing things in life.

i felt sorry for my group leader being scold by the director, and yet she take all the responsibility which is suppose to be bore by the group members to herself.
to a certain extent i think this is a foolish act i guess.

why? because i just simply feel that you group member would not appreciate what you have done for him / her and they are not aware of what had happened.

i think i should be thankful that i have the opportunity to handle a variety of tax cases.

so far i have handled agriculture company, dormant company, rpgt cases in the process of handling incentive application, handling trading company, assissting with manufacturing company.

and now annother opportunity come, co-operative.
this area would be a very very new area for me since it is very very rare in our firm.
i do believe that chances does not come by very very often.
i think i would grab the opportunity and perform well.
especially for rare cases.

hey why you keep looking out of the window?
look here our photographer is taking photo of us...
we are going to be a star
we are going to be famous..
yes famous... 

i think this year's theme for christmas in Mid valley should be white christmas as show in the picture above.

enjoy your christmas and remember to bring the kids to take picture if you have any 

have you ever have the experience of not seeing someone for so long and
when you see them on the road you will stop anything and everything on hand / what you are doing just to grab the opportunity to have a chat?

that day during lunch time i saw ying zhi somewhere near by the place where i'm working.

and i really stop everything and went in front and say hi.
however it doesn't turn out to be nice since we did not talk much and she seems to be very very busy.

so the next day i decided to sms her out for lunch the next monday since it's already friday.
hehe.. she actually replied me. hohoho...
the feeling is so nice.

it's seems that i'm those type of person who do not like to mix with other people and i would like to stay in my world of pc
it's time to make something different.
to take the first step and move forward and move ahead and mix with more poeple and make more friends to broaden my vision.

no doubt asking poeple out is sometimes very irritating where they will tell you this cant and have to wait for this and that person.

sometimes it's more easy to go out with those who are 'shuang kuai' and not those who are 'tuo tuo la la'

but anyway i'll be looking forward for our lunch since she is working near my office.

last nite when me and joo was quietly resting at my house, suddenly sang sang send sms for us to go out and yam cha.

it's a normal thing for sang sang because his nite life is all about yam cha with friends after work.

present as well to yam cha is my course rep ~ kevin.

and all of us talking about our working experience.
and eventually all four of us are in four different area in the accounting industry.

sang sang ~ audit - external auditor which prepares the statutory audit and annual auditor report for the clients.

kevin ~ audit - internal auditor which reports to the audit commitee of the client under the SC act.

joo ~ consultant - helping the client to tidy, 'make up' and 'beautified' the accounts

me ~ tax ~ helping the client to prepare tax compliance, application for tax incentive, RPGT and etc.

and it seems that all of the job that we do are all related to the accounting industry yet our job does not over lap each other's job description.

i think last time, when we see outside of the window, for accouting it would be a very very boring job that we need to juggle with all the figures and report.

however for me who in the big pool of accounting industry... i think that accounting is not just figure.

there are yet a lot of things to be explore in the accounting industry.
and there is a lot of problems in accounting report which is yet to be solved.

post to test... testing...

finally decided to blog something regarding my work

erm as you all know that i'm currently working in a tax firm and the levels above tax are the audit firm.
and today my boss asked me to go to the audit department to get the audit working papers from the auditor.

it's seems fun to get an opportunity to visit the office of the auditor.
the auditor in the D company is nice but they seems to be very busy.
and i took their file and they did not care too much that i need to give them any written black and white to get the file.

however they seems to be busy to be busy for the moment.
my boss say i was lucky since i was able to get the file from the auditor so easily.
because according to her, sometimes it's very difficult to get information from the auditor.

annother weird thing is, something i scrible on a piece of card which i slip it in my budget commentary book, and my manager read it... OMG
luckily that i din write something bad about her.
i remember that i wrote my feelings because i was upset with one of the staff during the seminar...
erm.. when i look at it, i found it funny.
still remember why i wrote the feeling and still can notice how i feel during that time.

sorry there are no convo photo from me for the moment.
sorry there is no update in my blog for the moment

i just wanna talk about the small small things that i see in life.
sometimes it's difficult to define whether the way you spend the money whether it is worth it or the other way round.

mayb everyone' perception towards the way of spending money is different?
and sometimes people borrow to spend more and spend to borrow more?

sometimes i just feel that i do not agreed with the way that how other people spend their money.
sometimes i just realised that poeple whould not agreed with the way you spend your money too.
so whatever it is..
it's just up to god to decide what's good and what's not

chilies big head prawn anyone?

wait wait wait.. don't eat first... let me take the picture...
oh no i'm too late.. there is just half of it left.

i'm free this holiday and i did some edit with my blog and post some photo after coming back from pd.
and i just realised how i miss the time during the preparation for acca core paper.

and how's my respect for miss chin which is my acr lecture.
even tought my marks for her paper sucks but...
i do really feel that she's proud that i do not need to resit for her paper and i pass all the subject at one go.

and i remember the post about her 'tegur' me regarding whether what i did for the course, whether it is worth while or not.
for me, i think i depends on which side of the picture or scenary you are looking at.
there is always pros and cons on things that we do
and sometimes there is no pro and con at all
we just have to do the thing for the sake of doing the thing.
there is always grey area in life
and there is not always only black and white in life.

hahaha.. ah-pi-gu...

this is group photo number 1 for our family trip to pd...


this is group photo number two... where am i?
i'm the camera lady so i'm missing in action lo...:(

this week our whole family went to pd for a holiday and a small get together.

will take more about the pd trip on the next next post...

for the moment, i want to talk about karaoke...

after lunch for the whole family, we went to the beach side, however the beach side was just too dark and we stay for a moment and we decided to make a move.

later we sat down at the pool side and i suggested the kids to sing.
uncle freddie say that there is a karaoke lounge around then we decided to go there and have a drink and sing.

when we reach there, there was not many people around and we were the first family around.

and tell you one secret this is the first time i went to a karaoke lounge and i have never been to red box or other similar place.

and i choosed the following song:-

太委屈 ~~陶晶莹
当她横刀夺爱的时候　你忘了所有的誓言
她扬起爱情胜利的旗帜　你要我选择继续爱你的方式
你曾经说要保护我　只给我温柔没挫折
可是现在你总是对我迥避　不再为我有心事而着急
人说恋爱就像放风筝　如果太计较就有悔恨
只是你们都忘了告诉我　放纵的爱
也会让天空划满伤痕
太委屈　连分手也是让我最后得到消息
不哭泣　因为我对情对爱　全都不曾亏欠你
太委屈还爱着你你却把别人拥在怀里
不能再这样下去　穿过爱的暴风雨
宁愿清醒忍痛地放弃你　也不在爱的梦中委屈自己

and my aunty asked why i choosed such a difficult song to sing.
but i tought it was the most easy song for me to sing.

and all the song that our family requested i took the mic and sing and sing and sing..
it seems that i'm a bit high.

however, i'm not really satisfied and i do not feel that i've sing till i drop.
anyway it was a memorable experience to sing with all my family member.

to know more about what the fuller had talk about me.. please visit the following website
http://kuzcodaily.blogspot.com/for more information and
friend... please drop him a comment upon his request la..

sometimes i jus feel fed up to meet up with friends.
why? because the reason they give you to pospone the meeting is just rubbish.
rubbish in the sense that...
"A is not around we wait for her to come back then we postpone it to annother day la.."

sometimes we have to choose to move on without others.
sometimes we have to be a bit selfish in order to be nice to ourself.
sometimes we have to know how to live our life without our friends.

i was kindda upset because of my friend's sms
and i'm even upset that my bf always never agreed with me.

finally as and when i'm blogging now..
i'm questioning myself.
what's the point of being upset and also
what's the point of being anger...

remember my uncle always told me
why you are angry you are giving the power away.
to be a caring person.
i just have to give in for other poeple's believe and attitude.

i just think that i would be better for me to live my good old life.
that is staying in front of the pc and chat as and when i want.
i would not have so much anger and i would be happy always.

Finally filling it's over
I tought it would be like fighting all over the place and there is always a lot of poeple there to support us.

after the filling, only MW, JOE and me stayed at the office and we discuss how's the whole filling and MW told us about there would be a post mortem for the filling.

Post mortem meaning the thing is dead and over, it's the time to point the fingger all over the place.

but according to my uncle, since this thing is already past, what's the point of playing the blame game? what's the point to accuse everyone?

for me the most important thing is to know where and what had went wrong.

for me, i personnally feel that the following points had triggers to the delay of my work:-
i'm still new =P
scared to call the client and scared of being scold by the client.
i'm not well equip myself with all the necessary tax knowledge
scared to ask client question since i'm unprepared.
doing the cases which i have a preference towards the client
giving the client too much time to prepare for the information request because we would not like to affect their daily activity.

I just wonder why that JOE would say that she got no problem.
there is no problem with her since she is able to file everything on time.

I personnally feel that the person who do not admit and prepared to accept that there is a problem would never notice where went wrong.

Sometimes our attitude towards doing things is very very important to contribute to the success of the person / group / team.

the long holiday for the Depa Raya is around the corner soon.

after tomorrow kl would be like a dead town.
it would be empty because most of the people would go back to the place where they came from or they would go out of kl for holiday.

so my plan is to learn driving,
watch canto drama
read some books
understand the GST concept
tidy the place.
go for big family trip in pd

actually i think i would like to the chance to have a break and brush up myself.

have your boss ever slamp the door at your face?
is your boss those they of person who are very very impatient and would require you to get every thing done beautifully?

this is what had happened to our group yesterday afternoon:-

after lunch, our director came into our room and ask our group leader...
'MW, still got how many cases to go?'

MW answered:
'5 cases'

director did noy say anything and walk toward the door and.....
'bang' the door was slamp closed.

everyone in the room including me was in fear.
why? because the director get angry and mad already.
the director get very 'mang zang' when he heard what MW said.

then he started to call everyone and anyone from other groups to for help.
it seems like the person who get called also was surprise and shock that what happened and it seems that she also kena shoot.

actually i have to share the blame.
i did not push the customer hard enough so that they could provide me the information as soon as possible.

but i'm really suprise that the director has such high 'EQ' in the sense that everyone was afraid of him.

that's all for my report.

the new new radio station had stop it's broadcast due to financial problem and then here comes the online fm.
this is consider is the third chinese online fm in MALAYSIA.
pay a visit to the following website and give a support for Malaysian.
wa fm online

today is the wedding dinner of one of my relative. a very very 'not close' one.
he was my grandmother's brother's son.

the wedding dinner was held at the Damansara Palace Restaurant which is located somewhere very very nearby the ikea, ikano and the curve the area.

the first and the second dish i did not manage to take the picture of it. so cannot let you all see how the dishes looks like. however i can briefly discribe how the things taste and looks like.

the first dish. normal dish called 'sei yu fan' which means a combination of 4 cold dishes served. and for the vegetarian dishes it's just normal three piece of fried crispy spring roll and couple of vegetable as well as something that taste like the squit.

the second dish of course is the shark fish soup as usual.
however our shark fin shop looks very very nice, but the taste is just so so.
why? because it just like you are eating 'glue' soup which the carrot and the black fungus as well as some mushroom.

the third dish looks like this:-



it looks like fish, however it's actually yam and some vegetable inside, for me i consider this dish okay lo...

for those who are eating meat the fourth dish is the grill piglet... and my dish looks something like this:-


looks like those grilled piglet but it's not.. it's actually tofu skin being friend to crispy.

we waited for quite a long while before the next dish came in..
for those who eat meat, the next dish is prawn cooked in thai style, and for us, the prawn looks like this


it is actually mushroom bring dip into powder and being fried into crispy with planta which we usually called it 'nai you ha'

the next dish is something with some vegetable:-

as you can see there is brocoli and mushroom and also the fried 'dou bao'. yes again the dou bao is a favourite ingredient for people who are cooking for vegetarian dishes. however for me as a person who eat vegetarian for more than 5 years i definately do not like this ingredient.

lastly came the fried rice:-


for me i think this is the best dish i can find for the whole nite.
the serving size was just nice and everything was just okay.

so this is what i want to blog for tonight.
enjoy the plesure of reading it la...

my appologies if i make u hungry when reading this blog/ post...:P

This is consider as my complete fish collection. However it excludes the fish's MTV series which consist of all the greatest hits she had issued to date. I started collect it since form 4/5 i think. she is the first singger where i had the complete set of album.
Her album is definately worth while to be listen at all time. regardless you are down or you are happy.
The reason behind supporting her is because we have to support malaysian singger so that they could fly high in their way to achive their dreams.
Support original.... dun buy fake cd... if you have no money... just listen to the radio ;)


my first two fish casset....
'yi ye zhang da' and also the album which makes her become famous 'yong qi'

this two album had always help me to spend my time waiting for classes during tuition and also help me to cope for the exam presure of SPM.

still remember that when wen kang is with 988. there is a something like musical special about fish's album. that was not really a great album. but i do support malaysian singer. and fish never disappoint me.




my first few cd of fish... which calms me down for the tension that i have due to presure in studying in college days...

among this few cds there is a song in the album sunrise 'wo xi huan' called 'xi yue' which means something like happiness. i really like the lyrics and i do really like the song very much because it is really sweet. it's a song where she and her x-bf were the producer for the song. i think that was among the best in the album.
"那一定是一个阳光充沛的下午 当我回头不小心看见了你
远处的角落向我微笑 像一颗植物看见了太阳
你就是我肩上的天使 在我最不安的时候出现
以你的温柔 辽阔的翅膀 紧紧的拥着我 让一颗心安静
可不可以就这样永久下去 让一颗心能拥有它自己的脾气
当你将一个梦的重量 依畏在我肩上
我仿佛看到了存在的喜悦"
the lyrics was just simple and everything. in short really great song..

Fish - the power of love song...
'jing xuan ji'.... you gotta have this album on your cd rack...

this album contain all the nice song which fish had issue previously and of course in every compilation album there are some nice nice song that are bound to be missed.
but i still consider this album as a very very nice one and those who like her album so much should not miss this album.

Fish's concert collection

fish album after the fish leong greatest hit collection....
'yen wei die' and 'si lu'

today seems to be a sad day for malaysia.
the sky is raining for the whole day.
because the prime minister's wife pass away because of cancer?

this morning when we are in the office busy working and meeting the deadline,
when i got an e-mail consisting the following :-



huh? how come prime minister's wife pass away we have to holiday?
to celebrate?
...
we are in doubt.
we are happy for the holiday but however we are very busy with our work and we cannot afford to waste our time for holiday.

then...
we wait for the HR department to confirm the news...
then....

come this e-mail....




haha... now confirm no holiday...
erm... but anyway 2moro or later this morning i'll be having my holiday,
however i still have to go back to office to settle something for the client as soon as possible.

我还记得 ~~梁静茹

十年后的今天遇见你 年少轻狂已远去
成熟稳重也保持距离 沉默里千言万语
时光回到那年夏天 公车站前你笑容满面
拍拍我的头 说你好吗？
一句问候填满青春 别人的话都听不见
岁月凝结在你的视线
我还记得那年倾盘大雨狼狈奔跑穿越几条街
握紧的双手 为爱的不顾一切
我还记得那年你的声音 耳边回荡那一句誓言
你吻我的脸 都是我心中 收藏一生的快乐
渐渐我们都有新朋友 多久不再并肩走
忙忙碌碌看人生匆匆 忘记了年轻的梦
好想回到那年夏天 教室门前你笑容满面
拍拍我的头 说你别哭
考坏一次不是末日 未来还有很长的路
我们要一起去看世界
*我还记得那年晴空万里 那一道飞机云的弧线
蜿蜒着思念 写下故事的总结
我还记得那年你的年轻 刻在从前最美的时间
在我生命里 你不曾告别 不曾走远
与你重逢前一个夜晚 往事在梦中上演
终要去体验 真实人生的残缺
REPEAT *

have not have any major update recently,
there is a lot of nice nice photo taken by me which are still in my digital camera.

there is a lot of thing to write however there is so little time to spare,
i do hope that within this week i have the chance to write out all the things and experience that i have and update my blog as often as possible.

however time will never wait us and it would go on it automatic pace,
it either we able to cope with the time or we are out of time.

i've been busy for the past few weeks,
busy to do the filling for the companies where thier income tax is due on 31 October 2005.
sometimes i just cannot imagine how come i have so many portfolio,
while my senior have just a little number of portfolio.
however, it seems that
my senior's job would be much more relax since they have the choice to choose whether to work on this case or to outsource to other groups.

yesterday i called a client.
this client was nasty in the sense that, he was quiet upset with the previous tax agent and have a bad impression of the tax agent.
what happened was last year he provided information to the tax agent at a very very early stage and the tax agent went on to ask this and that.
and he felt irritated by those commonsense question.
so this year he purposely delay the tax information to be send to the tax agent.
why? he do not want the previous problem to happen again.
erm... it seems to me that he does not cares about whether the company is submitting the correct tax liability.
however, from my point of view, it is important to submit the correct tax return.
because with the right amount of business loss, it could be transfer to the related company and save the tax for the related companies. this is a new concept in malaysian tax where it is proposed in the 2006 budget which was just announced.

there is a quote where i saw from somewhere in the recent tax seminar's slide.
'penalty is tax on doing some wrongly,
tax is a penalty on doing something right'

actually i treasure my name a lot.
however i was a bit confused now.

a lot of client call me mr yap when they see my name.
huh? how come i already change my sex d geh?

anyway it would not affect my way of doing things.
what's that to do with other people with how they pronouce my name.
why do i need to care about how poeple thing what is my sex?

erm...
sometimes i just like to be a guy.
why?
because there are a lot of things that a guy can do,
while the gals cant.

i like to being called just by my given name.
'tc'
'tc'
but pls do not call me mr yap...
hahaha ;)

Dear Coursemate,

There would be a series of talk during the career day held at TAR College during 19-21 October 2005.
This would be a good opportunity for those who are looking forward to be employed or those who wish to have a change in their working environment, to get contact with your potential employer.

p/s these talks are handled by big 4, small and medium sized firms and
also commercial firms.

further information would be updated when more information is optained.

cham lo....
how come my cases are 3 times more than my senior?
I'm just a very very new junior.
and my tax manager wants everything to be out by monday.
i think i'll be going crazy sooner or later.

i wanted the best for the company
however,
i do no forsee whether my best would suits their defination of the best.

having to work on the weekend is it a good idea?
having to do over time without being rewarded is it a good idea?

i'll be going to transfer to annother group
i think it would be annother challenge for me,
since i would have to get used to the new environment and also
start from zero all over again.
should i take the risk?

i think i'm always the risk adverter or risk neutral person.
i was never a risk taker.

today becomes even more busy as the filling heat has started.
just wonder whether i would get too presured and decided to quit the job or not.
however things had been going smoothly as far as i could forsee it.

the client are just not as nasty as i expected they are very willing to assist you since you have any question related to their company.

the client from KK was very interesting,
I've told him that i would like to ask him question on the company under his care.
and because of my blur blurness I have to really prepare very adequately then only i can ask question from the client.
Then I told him that I would ask him back later, then he challenge me whether I'm not ready to ask question from him.
I think maybe he is very very free for that moment and he could entertain me for all my queries.
He was quiet a nice person.
and have a chance for me to practice my english which is not very very well spoken.
and when the telephone conversation ended he asked
' huh? that's all no more question?'
oh no i've called him for about 1/2 an hour, that's all la...
what an interesting talk.

it is very interesting to understand the operation of the company.
how other people run the operation of the company.

just feel that it's fun that you actually can ask them question on the expenses incurred for what purpose.
and you can have a wild guess regarding those expenses and when the client told you that you are right you would just feel the satisfaction that what you have learn during your studies have equiped you to face the client.

today my senior asking me when i'm going to annother group.
i just think that it's very difficult for me to switch from one group to annother.
just wondering what would happened if i'm suppose to move to the GST group?

today is a very very busy day.
have a lot of tax computation to rush,
however my progress was slow.

i also do not know whether i could really help them to complete the task.
i pray and beg that thing that would go on smoothly.

working until you do not notice that time had pass.
working until you do not notice things had pass by.
sometimes we just walk and walk and we never notice that there are things that we missed.

this morning the sky was not sunny.
it's moody.
looks like it's in between raining and sun shine.
and all of the sudden, i saw the rainbow.
this is the second time that i saw the rainbow.
i always wonder why last time i would never be able to catch a rainbow.
is it i'm too careless that i miss things which is beautiful in my life?

today there is a guy who keep on sms and call me this few days.
telling me his name and saying that he wanna know my name.
of course, i would not like to tell him my name.
and when the guy promised to call at a later time,
i'm prepared.
i asked my collegue, jerry to help me to pick up the phone.
hehe.. then you know what will happened next.
the guy just hung up.
hehe... thanks to Jerry again.

then later in the afternoon,
i have a small chat with my group leader.
she say my progress is good.
but, i say i'm still very very blur blur.
she say yes, but it's okay.
i try to as humble as i could.
i try not to be action.
i want to learn humbliy
even learn how to be bullied but still not able to get angry.
sometimes people bullied you,
however you have to be strong enough and search for what you want.

found myself happy with the working environment.
found myself being taken care of.
greatful to people around me.
taking care of me learning from them how to do things.

五月天 Mayday ~ 知足

怎么去拥有 一道彩虹
怎么去拥抱 一夏天的风
天上的星星 笑地上的人
总是不能懂 不能觉得足够

如果我爱上 你的笑容 要怎么收藏 要怎么拥有
如果你快乐 不是为我 会不会放手 其实才是拥有

当一阵风吹来 风筝飞上天空
为了你而祈祷 而祝福 而感动
终于你身影 消失在 人海尽头 才发现 笑着哭 最痛

那天你和我 那个山丘 那样的唱着 那一年的歌
那样的回忆 那么足够 足够我天天 都品尝着寂寞

　 当一阵风吹来 风筝飞上天空
　 为了你而祈祷 而祝福 而感动
　 终于你身影 消失在 人海尽头 才发现 笑着哭 最痛

　 如果我爱上 你的笑容 要怎么收藏 要怎么拥有
　 如果你快乐 不是为我 会不会放手 其实才是拥有
　
　 知足的快乐 叫我忍受心痛
　 知足的快乐 叫我忍受心痛

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
if you are happinest is not because of me,
i would wish you all the best and let you go...

do you think that would work in the actual world?
it's not deniable that a lot of poeple are living with those who they not really love them or they not really loved.
but why do they do not want to just let go and let the other party to enjoy their own happinest?

i think majority of us are selfish.
we just care about what we own and when it comes to love,
we are just too scared to let go because we scared that the next one is worst that the current eventough the current one is bad.

sometimes i just feel that working in a big firm you have to be very very extra careful about the things that you do.

today i just make annother mistake again.
and my group leader got scold because of this.
feel so sorry for her.

i think as a group leader she really take good care of all of us besides the hectic preasure of filing and meeting the monthly budget for the company.
being a very very new group, sometimes our group really loose out in terms of client based, and sometimes you have to give in what you have obtained to other people since they are the pioneer group and they would enjoy more priority status.

learning new things everyday, trying my best to improve myself everyday.
telling myself that i've to absorbed as much as i could in the process of learning in the company.

try to learn from my mistake. try to be as mature as possible when it comes to handling the client.
grab every opportunity to learn things that occured around me.

now i'm preparing a tax computation for a company in the poultry industry.
try to see what is their expenses and what insentive they would be able to enjoy during the insentive period.

the budget is coming out soon.
so, have to see what are the big 'gift' that pak lah would be 'rewarding' the members of Malaysia.

try to improve myself as much as i could.

yesterday i posted some pictures i taken during my way to my office.

the picture above is picture taken somewhere near the place where i stay.
seems like a very very busy area. but it's somewhere in the middle of a garden.

after the filing for march, i would be moving to a new department which is the ITG.
this is a very very new and small group which is relates to something very very new in malaysia call goods and service tax.

suddenly i'm affraid of the unknown.
when people are in the good environment, we would be scared of things that would or might happened on us which is out of our expectation.

sometimes i feel poeple like to change things around them, but they are reluctant to change themself.
i just feel myself as a person who resist to change very very much.

sometimes i wonder why there is such beautiful scenary that there is nobody there to appreciate it.
sometimes there are a lot of things which is very very beautiful and very nice, we are just too busy and just too ignorant to care about it or even take a look at it.

we should really treasure things that are around us.
be thankful for what we have and appreciate what we are able to achieve.

all my bags are packed, i'm ready to go
i'm standing here outside your door
i hate to wake you up to say goodbye
but the dawn is breaking, it's early morn
the taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
i'm ready
i'm so lonesome i could die.

so kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
'cause i'm leaving on a jet plane
i don't know when i'll be back again
oh, babe, i hate to go

there's so many times i let you down
so many times i've played around
i'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing
every place i go, i think of you
every song i sing, i sing for you
when i come back, i'll wear your wedding ring

so kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
'cause i'm leaving on a jet plane
i don't know when i'll be back again
oh, babe, i hate to go

now the time has come to leave you
one more time, oh, let me kiss you
close your eyes and i'll be on my way
dream about the days to come
when i'll won't have leave alone
about the times that i won't have to say

oh, kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
'cause i'm leaving on a jet plane
i don't know when i'll be back again
oh, babe, i hate to go

i'm leaving on a jet plane
i don't know when i'll be back again
oh, babe, i hate to go
but i'm leaving on a jet plane...

I’m closer to achieving the dreams of becoming a qualified accountant after four (4) years in TAR College. During these four years, I’ve successfully completed my Advanced Diploma in Commerce (Financial Accounting) and Diploma in Business Studies (Accounting) as well as obtaining completing the ACCA syllabus at the same time, ie within the first attempt.
The reason behind choosing TAR College to persue my tertiary education is because TAR College is the best option for affordable, quality education for accounting course. TAR College had provided a solid foundation during the Diploma courses for student to cope with the challenge to pursue one of the most difficult accounting professional qualification – ACCA. Guidance and advice from lectures had enabled me to focus for the external exam.
The college library is the place where you would be able to locate me during the months before the external exam. I’ve spend most of my time in the library to prepare for the external exam for two consecutive sittings. The TAR library which is located near by to the School of Business Studies office facilitates student to seak for the lectures’ explanation or advic when we are in doubt. Conducive environment of the college library is also an important factor that enabled me to focus on my revision. Last year, the library was equipped with wireless internet connection which enable student to access the internet with their notebook. This facility had undoubtfully enabled the students with notebook to have internet access, and hence avoid long queue at the CIT.
As a course committee during my diploma and advanced diploma, it helped me to improve my leadership and communication skills. Despite my busy schedule to handle the welfare of student in the course, lectures also did their part to remind me to strike a balance between my studies and the responsibility of a team leader.
Last but not least a great big thank you to all the lectures from TAR college, especially Ms Kho, Ms Geh, Ms Chin, Ms Karen, Mr Chong, Mr Tho and also many other lectures who had guide me trough my way of completing the Part 3 syllabus of ACCA.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
this is the admended version of my opinion regarding studying in tar..
and how i feel.
mostly i think is hard work + the good environment to study that results me to have a better future.

yesterday, miss geh call me to do a favour for the college.
that is to write my feelings about tar
erm... i think that i'm just an average student in tar who is lucky enough to pass the ACCA in one go.
do not know what to write.
but just forced myself to write as much as possible.
just like what i did to my blog.:P

这一刻 突然觉得好熟悉
像昨天 今天同时在放映
我这句语气 原来好像你
不就是我们爱过的证据

差一点 骗了自己骗了你
爱与被爱不一定成正比
我知道被疼是一种运气
但我无法完全交出自己

努力为你改变
却变不了 预留的伏线
以为在你身边 那也算永远
仿佛还是昨天
可是昨天 已非常遥远
但闭上双眼 我还看得见

可惜不是你 陪我到最后
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那是你 牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔

那一段 我们曾心贴着心
(我想我更有权力关心你)
可能你 已走进别人风景
多希望 也有 星光的投影

努力为你改变
却变不了 预留的伏线
以为在你身边 那也算永远
仿佛还是昨天
可是昨天 已非常遥远
但闭上双眼 我还看得见

可惜不是你 陪我到最后
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那是你 牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔
感谢那是你 牵过我的手
还能温暖我胸口

annother song taken from fish's new album
wondering wat's the felling of 'yi han'~ regret

always things that we will be regreted for.
whether it's the right choice we had made for ourself
it's like an audit thing.
based on judgment.
and based on our professional skepticism.

but i think the most important thing is treasure what you have rather than regreting you have not treat someone good.

there is always tought that
the one who love the most will never be the one we are married with
maybe this is called the beauty of regret ~ 'yi han mei'

do not wanna think too much about the future.
but to focus on what i'm doing.
acting like a absorber to try to get as much as i could during the three years before i become an ACCA member.

he is not around in kl this week.
and i have a lot of time for myself to spend alone.
can stay online whole day.
can have all the time to blog crazily.
can tidy my room (which is still messy no matter how hard i tried to tidy it)

he say he got a 'new' handphone from his brother.
it's seems that we never have a chance to use the same model of handphone.
i'm still sticked with my great, old 3310.
i'm wondering whether should i send it to the muzium?
i'm wondering when he would be able to let us to use the same model of handphone?
but i think the possibility that we are using the same model of handphone is very low since our taste is totally different.

i'm wondering why i'm still with this guy.
questioning myself why i choosed him.
wondering what's our future.
i've told him once that i could not forsee our future.
we are poeple from two totally different and seperate world.
eventough we have some similiar point,
but i'm really not sure about how long would it hold us together?
or it would seperate us if there is some different view point.

i do think that it takes a lot of tolerance and understanding
for two people to stay together.
i'm still learning how to tolerate with him and understanding him.
i do hope to enjoy the freedom of being able to do things that i really longing for.

maybe when the days come......
i'll be an independent party which have nothing related with him...
who's know what will happen in the future..
but just treasure the things we possess now
that god for granting it to us.

丝路 通往爱的路途

如果流浪是你的天赋
那么你一定是我最美的追逐
如果爱情是你的游牧
拥有过是不是该满足
（谁带我踏上孤独的丝路）
追逐你的脚步
（谁带我离开孤独的丝路）
感受你的温度
（我将眼泪流成天山上面的湖）
让你疲倦时能够扎营停住
羌笛声　胡旋舞　为你笑为你哭
爱上你的全部放弃我的全部
爱上了你之后我开始领悟
陪你走了一段最唯美的国度
爱上了你之后我从来不哭
谁是谁的幸福　我从来不在乎
谁是谁的旅途　我只要你记住

星星就是穷人的珍珠
你的笑支撑着我虔诚的最初
狂风沙石我得到依附
穿越过亚西亚的迷雾
（谁带我踏上孤独的丝路）
追逐你的脚步
（谁带我离开孤独的丝路）
感受你的温度
（我将眼泪流成天山上面的湖）
让你疲倦时能够扎营停住
羌笛声　胡旋舞　为你笑为你哭（HO~为你哭）
HEY~爱上你的全部放弃我的全部（我的全部）
爱上了你之后我开始领悟
陪你走了一段最唯美的国度
爱上了你之后我从来不哭
谁是谁的幸福　我从来不在乎
谁是谁的旅途　我只要你记住
云破日出 你是那道光束
带着平凡的我走过奇迹旅途

爱上了你之后我开始领悟
陪你走了一段最唯美的国度
爱上了你之后我从来不哭
谁是谁的幸福　我从来不在乎

爱上了你之后我开始领悟
陪你走了一段最唯美的国度
爱上了你之后　我～从来不哭（NO~HO~）
谁是谁的幸福　我从来不在乎（我～不在乎）
谁是谁旅途
我只要~
我只要　你记住

WHEN I SAW YOU...
I WAS AFRAID TO TALK TO YOU...
WHEN I TALKED TO YOU...
I WAS AFRAID TO HOLD YOU...
WHEN I HOLD YOU...
I WAS AFRAID TO LOVE YOU...
NOW THAT I LOVE YOU ...
I'M AFRAID TO LOSE YOU...
YESTERDAY IS HISTORY...
TOMORROW IS A MYSTERY...
AND TODAY IS A GIFT...
THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED A PRESENT...

SOMETIMES LOVE HURTS...
BUT IF IT DOESN'T HURT...
THEN IT ISN'T LOVE...
HOLD ON TO THE PERSON U LOVE...
BEFORE THEY SLIP AWAY...
OR ELSE U CAN NEVER GET THEM BACK...
----------------------------
yes i agreed that sometimes it hurts to love someone.
but if they repay you...
the sweetness of love would let you forget about the hurt and bitter for a moment.

love is actually a combination of taste of life.
and I do truely think that we loved to live and we live to loved....

herm...
a lot of things happened this few months.
but it's either that i'm too lazy to blog or i'm too tired to blog.
have a lot of picture taken to put inside the blog.
(however the picture is not of me... but of the things that i've seen during my way to work and stuff)

my room is still the messiest room ever.
try my best to clean it up by today.
start to enjoy the life of working
start to enjoy the life of no need to worry about exams
start to wonder what's the next peak for my life.

there are things that i should consider about.
there are things that i should be worry about.
like ACCA and my parents.

now there's time which i can spend more with my parents, family and especially my cousin as well as my grandma
i think i've been neglecting my grandma for too long d.

it's funny that when me and joo go out we have to bring my grandma and mother along.
but for god sake...
just think that better treasure the time we have together with them now,
than to regret at a later time, when they are not around.

like the life of working.
you can be generous to poeple around you as well as yourself.
since you earn the money yourself and you would prefer to reward yourself for the hardwork that you've done.
last time when i wanted to buy something,
i would need to consider for a long long time and also budget it nicely,
since all my tuition fees for acca (other than TAR college fees as well as the ACCA examination fees) are being paid out of my own pocket.

early of this month,
when i got my pay for August,
my parents, joo and I went to a vegetarian restaurant at the curve to eat steamboat which we consider the price is quiet expensive tough the environment is very nice.
i did really enjoy the steam boat tough.

then we also bought moon cake for ah ma, my parents and also joo's parents.
and we also bought a tiramisu mook cake for ourself and
we also get to buy the small size moon cake from bakers which i consider it's very nice since you would not fill it very very full when you jus wanna enjoy bite size moon cake.

When I was young I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone Nobody's home

All by myself Don't wanna be
All by myself Anymore

Hard to be sure Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure Remains the cure

All by myself Don't wanna be
All by myself Anymore
All by myself Don't wanna live
All by myself Anymore

When I was young I never needed anyone
Making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself Don't wanna be
All by myself Anymore
All by myself

Don't wanna live Oh
Don't wanna live By myself,
by myself Anymore
By myself Anymore Oh
All by myself Don't wanna live
I never, never, never Needed anyone

heard this song during the malaysian idol show.
however i think that farah still not have the ummm...of singing this song.
but it's nice to know that malaysian idol is a good method for malaysia to search for it's next best star

today is seems to be a historic day for Malaysia day!!!!

however it's seems that this day is not being celebrated at general.
i think if you aske poeple on the streets what today means to Malaysia,
most likely they could not relate it to Malaysia day or
they would take a long long time before they would relate it with Malaysia day.

why?
because history only educate us about 31 August 1957
and we forgot that Malaysia was formed at a later date which is 16th September 1963.
it's a day that we should remember, because there is new member in the family of Malaya.

this is a little thing to share where i found it online

The constitution clearly mentions that ‘Merdeka Day is Aug 31, 1957, while Sept 16, 1963 is ‘Malaysia Day’.

All similar dates are anniversaries of the same i e either Merdeka Day or Malaysia Day anniversaries as the case maybe.

However as from 1970, the late Tunku, on the recommendation of the National Goodwill Council, agreed that the Merdeka Day anniversary should be called the National Day and celebrations thereof may be extended from Aug 31 to Sept 16 to allow for various groups and places to organise cross-ethnic and cross-geographic festivities aimed at instilling patriotism and nationalism among the peoples of Malaysia, hence dispensing with the term Merdeka or Malaysia Day anniversary.

so.. we should appreciate the freedom we have as well as the resources that our country have

can you imagine that you are being given more and more job just because someone from the family complaint to your superior that you are not given enough job to do.
and you have to switch from compliance to due delegence and also will be sent to indirect tax group.

and you know you would be getting sicked of the name of that particular company that you heard it every day.

sometimes i wonder why poeple wanna join the big guys and why some people just left the big guy.

sometimes i wonder whether this is special treatment

sometimes i question myself, did i do my best?
sometimes i question myself, it this the best that i can do?
sometimes it's kind of boring.
sometimes i wonder what is the point to work.

快乐　是可以分享的
快乐　需要一些过程
快乐　总是能被记得
因为记忆只留下美好的

你是你自己的作者
何必写那么难演的剧本
别怪话说的太多了
我只是不要你不快乐

被爱　应该是幸福的
去爱　没有想像的愚蠢
相爱　可以非常地单纯
因为爱全是与生俱来的

＃你问　我怎么那么神
　这些智慧该如何才获得
　爱你　我认识了快乐
　它带我上了难得的一课＃

＊有了你开心D　乜都称心满意
　咸鱼白菜也好好味
　我与你永共叙　分分钟需要你
　你似是阳光空气＊

REPEAT＊＃＊

爱你　我认识了快乐
它带我上了难得的一课

like this song...
especially the corous part where it is from the Lam Zhi Cheong's song.

salt fish and simple vegetable would be very very tasty.
sometimes life is simple if you want it to be.
not too much material to worry about.

life is how you value it.
life is how you want it to be.
life is not decide by the god,
is how you want it to be.

布城7日讯-首相拿督斯里阿都拉今日宣布，直至今年杪，政府都不会再调整汽油、柴油及天然气价格。

他也宣布，为了纾缓国际原油飙升带来的冲击和减轻人民的生活负担，政府将削减所有商用车辆的路税25％。

文告说，他在9月30日提呈的2006年度财政预算案 将会公布更多减轻人民负担 的预算案。

首相4招解民困

1.降低路税

2.油价不起

3.过路费不涨

it seems that the government is encouraging people to buy national car especially kancil.
yes it seems that it is true to say that kancil is a car that can save up the petrol and with the new government policy to curb the hike of petroleum prices,
we think that government is looking for ways to enable the competition between local car and also the imported car.
as well as enable the people to afford to travel and also maintain thier living ;)

銀行今起須回收
國行發指南．防假幣湧現
（吉隆坡6日訊）明日起，所有銀行必須為公眾免費將1令吉硬幣兌換成紙幣，且必須悉數全收，包括存款。

換言之，不管公眾提著多少數額的1令吉硬幣到商業銀行兌換，都可取得同值紙鈔。

銀行業消息指出，公眾不必為真假硬幣感到疑惑，他們只要在期限內（明日起至12月6日之間）拿1令吉硬幣到銀行更換，銀行都有“義務”為公眾免費兌換成同額紙幣，或免費為他們存入戶頭。

“換言之，你拿總額100令吉到商業銀行去，他們（銀行）都必須免費兌換100令吉紙鈔給你，你帶1000令吉去，他們就必須兌換1000令吉給你。”

國家銀行昨日發出文告宣佈，1令吉硬幣12月7日起報廢，引起民眾爭相往銀行兌換，當中更有不少人所持的假幣被沒收，本報更接到不少電話投訴。

為何會出現這種情況，這位銀行界消息人士指出，這是因為配合1令吉硬幣12月7日報廢啟動的兌換期，是明日（7日）才啟動，相信有關銀行今日仍根據舊有作業制度處理所致。

“意思是說，公眾若明日才前往兌換的話，就不會有問題。”

does this means that even we got the fake coin,
we could also exchange the coins into the real RM1 dollar note?
erm... then this would be great.

1. Use MSN emotions but don't distort your message. Do change the shortcut key whenever you add an emotion. It's not fun to figure out your word puzzle.
2. If you are a stranger, please introduce yourself.
3. Don't ask for my picture if you don't even want to show yours.
4. If you are a stranger, do not ask for my phone number.
5. If you start a conversation, please don't repeat the word "oic" or reply with a smiley for n times.
6. If you have nothing to say, don't ask me "why are you so quiet". That's because I have nothing to say too.
7. If I am in "away" mode, I'm either not around my computer or doing some other stuff, so I might not be able to reply your message.
8. If I am in "busy" mode, I'm either too busy or not in the mood of chatting.
9. For (7) and (8), message me only if you have something to say.
10. (7) and (8) are excluded if I start the conversation.
11. It's ok to nudge once, it's rude to nudge 5, 6, 7, 8 times.
12. I can't stand ugly MSN emotions.
===============================
got this post on my friend's blog.
sometimes i think it's fun to know other people on msn.
but it's weird because i rarely get people whom i do not know to add me.

i have a very very long list of poeple on my msn but there is only a few poeple whom i always chat with.
we just chat regardless whether the person is busy or not.
hehe
and for me,
my status is always busy,
but if ur brave enough, and when i'm around.
i would be more than willing to reply you.

Bank Negara Malaysia announces today that effective 7 December 2005, the RM1 coin will cease to be legal tender and will be withdrawn from circulation.

The RM1 banknote will continue to be legal tender and will remain in circulation.

Members of the public will be given a three-month period from 7 September to 6 December 2005 to exchange the RM1 coins at face value without any charges at all branches of commercial banks, the main branches of Bank Simpanan Nasional and Bank Negara Malaysia's branches at Kuala Lumpur, Pulau Pinang, Johor Bahru, Kuala Terengganu, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu.

Further details on the withdrawal of the RM1 coin can be obtained from Bank Negara Malaysia's website (http://www.bnm.gov.my) or by contacting the Currency Management and Operations Department of Bank Negara Malaysia at 03-2698 8044 ext 7442 / 7417.
-------------------------------------------
last time i used to keep a lot of RM1 coin
i used to have about 200 of the RM1 coin.
it's just one of the ways for me to save my money.
but since last year or begining of this year,
my bf told me that there are a lot of fake RM1 coin.
so we decided regardless of anything happened,
we just started to spend and spend all the RM1 coin,
since we could not differentiate whether the money is real or fake.

i believe there are a lot of people who are keeping all the RM1 coin.
so now have to return to the bank or used it in the money market before it becomes unacceptable.

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Louisiana coast on Monday with 224 kph winds as the powerful storm came ashore from the Gulf of Mexico and took aim at low-lying New Orleans.

The coast, much of it lightly populated swamps, was being pounded with high winds and heavy rains while New Orleans, 88 km northeast, braced for the worst of Katrina.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm, now Category 4 on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale, was not quite the monster it had been in the open Gulf, but still packed a powerful punch. It had been a Category 5 with 280 kph winds.

In New Orleans, wind gusts had already topped 135 kph, well above hurricane force, and the powerful center of the storm was still two to three hours away, the center said.

Even into early Monday, Louisiana highways were thick with traffic as residents sought safety as far away as Texas, 425 km to the west.

"The only thing I was worried about was the water. We don't worry about no wind," said Cray Bruce as he stopped for gas in Crowley, Louisiana, 260 km west of New Orleans.

The winds shook street signs, whipped trees about and knocked out electricity in some areas, but streets were largely abandoned after officials said at least 1 million people fled the storm.

Weather forecasters said Katrina may veer just east of New Orleans and head toward neighboring Mississippi, where strong winds were already building.

In Baton Rouge, officials said three people from a New Orleans nursing home had died during their evacuation to a Baton Rouge church. They said they were among nearly two dozen people from the home who were on a bus stuck in traffic for hours during the 125 km trip.

NEW ORLEANS IN DANGER

Weather experts had warned of a possible storm surge as high as 28 feet, enough to damage or destroy thousands of homes and leave 1 million people homeless.

New Orleans is nearly surrounded by water, including Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi, and about 70 percent of it lies below sea level, protected only by a series of levees.

Mayor Ray Nagin, who ordered a mandatory evacuation, warned the predicted storm surge could push water over the levees and flood the city, including its historic French Quarter.

Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu said 26,000 people had taken shelter in the Superdome, a giant, enclosed stadium near the French Quarter.

"Please Pray for New Orleans" read a giant hand-painted sign, appearing to sum up the fears that had seized the city known as the Big Easy for its relaxed life and party atmosphere.

New Orleans has not been hit directly by a hurricane since 1965 when Hurricane Betsy blew in, flooding the city. The storm killed about 75 people overall.

Katrina was making its second U.S. landfall after striking southern Florida last week, where it caused widespread flooding and seven deaths.

As Katrina plowed through the Gulf of Mexico, oil companies shut down production from many of the offshore platforms that provide a quarter of U.S. oil and gas production.

At least 42 percent of daily Gulf oil production, 20 percent of daily Gulf natural gas output and 8.5 percent of national refining capacity was shut on Sunday, producers and refiners said.

U.S. oil futures jumped nearly $5 a barrel in opening trade to touch a peak of $70.80. The rise in oil prices fed through to other financial markets, hurting stocks and the dollar on fears that economic growth might be curtailed but boosting safe havens such as government bonds and gold.

i took this news report from the star website. all the while i'm not concern about what is happening in the international and world. because i feel that there is nothing related to me.
but now i just feel that we should not be so ignorant.
things that happening around the world, around us is very very crucial.
the price of cruel oil has increase to 70USD per barrel. increase of 5USD within the day.
i also feel the heat.
i realised that the pay is not enough.
what can i do to help myself?
i'm still wondering...

eventually i expect myself to fail my 3.6 paper.
i'm thrilled that i've pass that paper.

no need to say/ feel sorry to miss chin.
still remember that she really take good care of us.
but i do really think that i just ignore the paper.
then at the end i ended up regreting i'm not paying much attention on the paper.

i've prepared myself for the referal of paper 3.6
and i even bought those card to start writing the short notes,
to enable me to get more prepared and ensure that i would definately pass for my acca exam next sitting.
