Friendships - II Originally uploaded by carf.

attended to one of my primary school mate's wedding dinner last night. it really came to a surprise when i was informed that he is getting married a few weeks ago. he is one of my friend whom we knew for more than 15 years and we only meet up like every few years as he's based in UK. we even went to the same high school and college before he left for UK.

yesterday, i was so surprised not just meeting up with him but a bunch of great high school mates. it's like a reunion thingy for all of us as some of us have not seen each other since high school. we were the loudest esp the toasting session with the bride and groom. everyone of us were so high in alcohol and it was all about chatting, laughter and photos the whole evening. the downside of it is a sunday and most of us have to rock up to work today.

managed to get all their contacts and more meet up could be arrange from now onwards. really glad that i attended the memorable event.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YEW FAI & MAN CHING!!

golf @ driving range

Golf Ball Hitter
Originally uploaded by davespics.

had a go in golf at driving range today. it was a last minute decision after invites by work mates after turning them down a couple of times. not so eager at first as need to attend my's wedding buffet at her place. made up my mind as it won't take long anyway, so, pickup sm from work and head towards the driving range in tropicana.

when i got there, i had a gut feeling that i won't like it as i'm pretty sure that i can't hit it right. it will either ended up smacking on the artificial turf all the time or misses the ball completely. one of my work mate gave me a few tips and instructions on how to position your body and the proper way of gripping on a club.

absorb all those tips and started positioning myself as told. the first swing was not so good as it only went a couple of metres but at least no misses. not bad urgh!! i had more swings and i started to get the hang of it and eventually, it reaches 100metres. the feeling was so good esp the ball is heading towards the right direction and reaching the height.

the game was a good one and it's definitely a good start for me in this new sport. now, i'm really eager to have a few more go's in order to really get the hang of it. i'm pretty sure you'll need a trainer to really play the right way and it doesn't come cheap. what's the next move? well, thought of getting a cheap second hand iron and a glove maybe. nah!!! prolly will wait a little longer till i really commit to it.

knowing myself better!!

stumbled across this link from sm's blog. though of giving it a try and here's the result. after the test, i find it 60% accurate from my own point of view. not too sure if others think the same. anyway, here's the output.

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

ammo dude is back!!

do you guys remember the malaysian hip hop group called poetic ammo? yeah!!! the dudes that won a couple of awards before including AIM awards. most of all, the awesome 'vallavan' song. oh man!! at that time, i was still a high skool kid listening to their tunes everyday.

magical moments

magical moments, originally uploaded by slight clutter.

it's approximately 19.5 hours to go before we say goodbye to year 2006 and welcome year 2007. it's 435am now and i suddenly thought of my last blog about the end of the year 2005. man!! time does go by so fast and it's another year now. as i grew older each year, the more i realise the importance of my love ones especially mom and dad. ever since i came back from oz 3 years ago, everyday i would remind myself to cherish every moments i could have together with them as they will not be with us forever. i still remember when i was at a younger age, i just wouldn't listen to what they said and arguments does arise over petty issues. to be honest, i do regret every actions before and hoping to never repeat them anymore. mom and dad, I Love You!!

well, things have gone terribly wrong for me in 2006 because of making unnecessary decisions that led me into worries and sadness. towards the end of the year, after realising what i wanted in life, things starts to get better and pretty happy with the achievement. hoping for the best in 2007 and may that goes the same to everyone.

it's been so long

a lil update about what happened to my life for the past few months since i last wrote stuffs here. firstly, i'm no longer running my family's business as i find it's not the right thing to do at this stage in life. therefore, i have started with this new company that deal with providing wireless broadband service with this cool technology developed by the japanese. having been in the company for a month, i find myself a bit slow in getting back to my working form and of course working my way towards what i used to be.

company is located somewhere in klcc area and yes!! it's not where you want to work in. i used to catch the city shuttle bus that cost me only RM2 a day for unlimited rides but the idea just doesn't work at all. why? imagine yourself standing at the bus entrance for minimum of 1 hour and by the time it reaches the next stop, another 20 mortals would squeeze their way in and there you go, squash like a can of sardine. do that everyday and you would know what it feels like. oh!!! one thing i observed for the past weeks while catching the sardine can, on ocassion, you will see more foreign workers that locals. it doesn't make sense at all. have you ever wondered, "are you in m'sia?". anyway, those are history now as i rather drive into town than being a sardine. colleagues? well, all i can say is that they're "awesome". that's all about work and more info to come when the time is right.

personal life... been pretty much the same except got a lil better in health. whilst helping out in the family business, i've got lots of time to workout in the gym. as i've mentioned before, i've taken up body building(not those gigantic size) as a sport. after a couple of months training with a couple cool guys, i lost some fats and at the same build with muscle weights. been pleased with the result although it's hell when going through that few months. no pain no gain ah..!!!

been to few holiday destinations such as hatyai, chiang mai, kuantan and etc etc for the past few months. the best holiday was chiang mai where it's really a relaxing one rather rushing around. well, guess that's about it for the mean time. cheers!!!

ps. Happy Birthday Pixel!!!!
