Think before you do

I was sitting alone at my living room last night, watching TV all alone. And there was a TV program attracted me. It was a thirty minutes show, used ghost stories as their title to show to the audience. So I was quite interested and I watched that show.


The synopsis is about a guy, whose life is quite miserable, addicted to a messenger they called CCG, it was actually ICQ. The show was quite old according to their costumes. So he was addicted to the messenger until he do not want to go to work, he do not want to eat and he do not want to sleep. He do not know that the one chatting with him was a ghost, and at the end of the show the ghost brought him to the hell and so he dead.


Actually I watched this episode few years ago while I was still in primary school, that time I was like so scare even though I do not use messenger but some of my friends already started to use. I scared that they will have the same consequence like the actor. But what I felt yesterday was, the show was just trying to advice the audience not to over addict into something, the show just used a way that easily get people attention to advice people, especially people who are still in primary school. The show sent us information, but of course we have to interpret the information it sent us before we make any conclusions.


It is just the same when you are talking with people around you. When people talk to you but you easily believe in what the other said, sometimes might get yourself into trouble, just as those criminal using telephone to get money from people who do not interpret before making their decisions.


As a conclusion, we should always interpret what the oter says before we make a decision or a conclusion.

A Best friend

How to become a best friend of another people? For me, I would say that, to become a best friend for another person, first, you need to be trustworthy. Second, you have to be there for your friend every time when he needs you. Lastly, when he is in trouble, make sure you are the first one who is there to help him out from the disasters.

I have a friend who is like this. I do not know him when we were in primary school, although we were primary classmates. I get to know him was when we were in secondary school. I still remembered the day of registration, we need to wear school uniform but he forgot to do so. That day was the first time we talked to each other since years in primary. There is an coincidence, her mum and my mum were classmates when they were in secondary, his cousin and my brother are good friend which study together for like ten years and recently I found out his younger cousin is also my younger cousin sister’s friend.

I cant remember since when, we were like stick together, wherever we go, whatever we do, we were together. We played, we eat, we went tuition, except for going home, if not, most of the time of ours were spending with each other. He is the one who dance with me, he is the one who help me to solve my problem when I have problems on homework, he is the one who listen to me whenever I have problems on some complicated relationship with others. Until now, we will still see each other once a week. He is the one who I really will talk to, he is the one who always be there for me. But he will be going to study in Kampar soon, so I couldn’t always see him anymore. I wish that he will be in Kampar since that will be the first time he really leaves home.

taste changes


The title of this post is taste changes, and that is simply referring to myself. I used to listen all the songs that were so called 'trendy'. Those songs which listen by the majority of people in this society. The coolest thing was when they have very rapid rap paragraphs in the song and you manage to memorize and sing them out, you will impressed the rest of the people who might do not know how to sing.

However, I don't know since when, i like to listen to old melodies. I enjoy listening to old songs nowadays. The songs that i listened the most are songs like slow rhythm, soft instrumentals and also nice voices. I don't even know why my tastes are changed. Soon, i discovered that nowadays i listen to songs is not because of following the trend anymore. I listen to songs is because of the meaning of the lyrics. Some songs that does not really caught people's attention but if you try to listen them with your heart, you will realize that the song is actually nice and better than those songs which follow the trend. Everyone should have one song that represent themselves or the songs that will be remember by the particular person for the rest of life. For me, i have a song which i will always remember although i don't know how to sing, but it is just nice, and i feel so good whenever listening to this song, and the song is named 'moon river'. When you are in a bad mood, try to find a song which you think suits you, listen to them, and maybe you will feel good after listening to the song.

Otaku


Otaku, a Japanese word which describes people who like to hide inside their house, playing online games, collecting figures like Gundam, or playing their consoles game at home. They do not like to go out from their house, or perhaps their room. They spent most of their time in front of their computers and they can even forget to eat or bath because of playing games.

For me, i think i am a half otaku. I don't like spending most of my times in front of my computer, i don't like to collect any gundam figures either. But i like to stay inside my house. For example, when there are holidays, i would rather stay all day long inside my house rather than going out. Actually i don't think im really an otaku because i don't spend my time on gaming. Most of the time im doing housework, or rolling on my bed when im at home. This is because i like to stay at home. But some articles would say people who like to stay at home will have less communication with the outside world. They claim that when this kind of person walked out from the house, they cant survive in the outside world.

I won't say that it is wrong. but i will say that it is partially wrong. This is because, even though i stay at home all the time. I still can communicate with my friends using phones, hand phones or messengers and emails. But it is quite true that when people who like to stay at home go to the outside world will be hard to communicate with others. For examples. when chatting using phones or messengers i don't have to look at that person's face and i can tell he or she things directly without feeling the fear of having eye contact. But when in the outside world, it will become hard for me to chat with other people when looking right through their eyes, especially to girls. However, i still prefer being an otaku, hmm..i think no, i should call myself a half otaku. I just like the feel of staying inside the house. Home sweet home.^^

Journey to the West


There is a Chinese story which wrote by an author call Wu Cheng En. The story’s name is Journey to the West. For most of the Chinese, it is a very well-known story. No matter you are kids or an adult, if you are a Chinese, you will have read Journey to the West before. The story is about a monk from china wanted to go to somewhere around India to get some kind of sutra, he believe that the power of the sutra can bring harmony life to all the people in the world. In his journey, he met his three principles in sequence which helped him all the way to the west from east, helping him to kill all the monsters which try to stop them to the way of journey.

The first principle of the monk is called the monkey king. He is the mightiest one among all the three, he fight all monsters who try to harm the monk. The second principle is a swine, he is lazy and he likes to flatter his master. The third principle is a good guy, his mind is as pure as a white paper. Due to the monkey king likes to fight, he always act a bit fierce and this is not so agree by his master. So that his master do not like him so much at the beginning. The master like the second principle because of his flattering skill.


Actually this story is reflecting the old days of china. The master is actually reflecting to the emperors of old days China. The monkey king reflecting to the good officer which always helping the emperor by saying all the weak point of the emperor. Therefore, officers like this doesn’t like by the emperors since people just like to listen to sweet and nice things. While the second principle is like those officers who just keep flatter with the emperor in order to get a good and wealthy life.


In our life, there will always be people like the first and second principle. Therefore, we need to interpret while other are talking to us. Sweet and nice words does not really mean the exact thing while criticism sometimes really work on us although they are not so nice for the one who being criticize to listen.

A meaningful chinese idiom



There is a Chinese idiom that always appears in my mind. It is told by those old folks in my family since I was a young kid. They always said that "要割禾,就要先弯腰". This meaning of the idiom is actually saying that, when it is harvest, you have to bow yourself in order to reap the harvest. The deeper meaning of this idiom is actually mean that, a person must be humble no matter how strong you are or how many knowledge you own.

This idiom had been marked inside my mind. It always reminded me to be humble. I like to be humble and I need to be humble because i don't have anything that i can or able to show off in front of anyone. Nowadays, most of the people like to show off their talent or their wealth. For example, hand phones. People around us nowadays are chasing after branded and trendy hand phones, whenever there are new models released in the market, they will try to get one, after that they will show off their new phones in front of their friends.

It is not wrong to show off once a while, but when those people showing off, do they ever think of the others feelings? Maybe the one who do not have the ability of showing off will feel hurt, will feel sad or even worst will make them to stay away from the one whom showing off. Soon, the one who do not learn to be humble will have less and less friends. So, please be careful when next time you want to share something you are proud of, do not be too excited, please do care about the person's feeling that you are talking to. Last but not least, learn to be humble and you might realize people around you will like you even more than before.

Taking Initiative

It has been ages since i talk with my friends in the msn messenger. I don't like chatting using the messenger. This is because sometimes messages will be misunderstood by friends when they cant see my face expression or the accent I am using. Another reason is that friends i used to chat with are left there for ages, close relationships with them has also already become loosen. So that it has been long time I did not turn on my messenger.

But today I don't know what happened to me, I just feel like wishing one of my old friend, hope to send my friend a good luck wish for her exams which coming soon. This is a friend i used to chat daily with, but due to some reasons we stopped chatting for few years. I just simply typed a message to this friend, wishing that my friend could get good results in the coming exams. What I cant expect was my friend actually replied. I asked if my friend whether remember me or not and i told my friend that i did not text her just because i thought she forget about me.

In our life, there are many things we need to take initiative, we have to take the first step in order to know the results or to do something. If we did not want to communicate with others first, we won't know what actually the others are thinking about. So, in conclusion, we should always ask about things that we are not sure or we don't know.

Love

In this post, i had never really write about the love stories that happen on me. But today i would like to share it with my Human Communications friends.

It was a wonderful Sunday morning, I was covering myself up with a thick blanket because of the cold air conditioner. I can't remember what time it was, the house phone kept ringing and I did not bother to answer it. This is because I expect the person who called will call to my mobile phone if he or she really knows me or my family, so i kept sleeping on my warm bed.

Out of a sudden I heard the doorbell rang, I thought that it was just those people who wants to do surveys for their companies. Of course once again I don't feel like bothering them. But the one who kept ringing the doorbell wouldn't stop, so i grabbed my specs and I walked downstairs to take a look. I saw my uncle standing in front of my house gate with his little old motorcycle. I stared at him with a pair of half open eyes. I quickly open the door to let him in, the weather outside is like burning, then only i realize it was my uncle who kept calling since morning till don't know what time i get up from my bed.

He told me he brought my brother and me some food which cook by my grandmother. He handed the food to me and left. Before he left he still asked me to take care of myself.( My parents had went to China for almost a week). After my uncle left, I felt so bad and guilty. He came all the way from Selayang to Damansara just to hand me the food and I made him wait quite a long time outside calling me to wake me up. Other than that, my grandma, a very very old lady. She woke up so early to prepare food for us just for the sake of worry my brother and me have nothing to eat.

They really do love us, but they did not tell us. They show it to us in another way that we hardly feel it. They showed it to us by giving their love to us without we realize it. Since i was a small child until now, they did not, they never said that they actually care us or they love us. But after the incident of this morning, I am very sure that they do love us, they do care us. This is the love that bond a family together. From now on I will appreciate the love that given by them.
