Evening in Cyberpark

Last week, I was wondering what to do to spend my extra free time that I had that day. Next thing I know, I was asked a.k.a dragged to join Alex (papa), Jet(Lance de'Cypher) and Jerry(Chocobo) for an evening walk to Cyberpark which wasn't too far from the condo where we are currently staying. So we walked and walked and walked until we reached.....

CYBERPARK

So, here our story starts...

~Papa, Spring Fairy and Jerry~

Here we stopped to take a group pic minus Lance de'Cypher because he was the photographer with his trusty SE W810i. Psst... It's his WIFE!!! No one can really touch her :P

As we were walking around, we came by a small bush area and Chocobo decided to show that he is actually a Ninja in disguise. His real name is Jerry and he has been sent to guard us. What danger are we in, I wonder since there was a Ninja who is guarding us. Any idea, people???



~Ninja Chocobo-san~

I was sitting down and thinking of the future. What will my life be like 10 years down the road?? What will things be like as the years go on?? Musing on the current ongoings in the world as well as Malaysia. It's already 50 years since we got our Independence. We have that now, so what next?? Development of the country but are we developing in the correct way????



~Silhouette~

~Peaceful Thoughts~

This picture inspires me a lot. It teaches me to go through what ever hardship that comes my way. As the lotus rises up from the mud, it becomes a very beautiful flower. So, I should be like the lotus flower. From all the experiences that I have obtained, I should take it as a lesson learned and use it for good; in a positive manner.



~Bribing of the Raven~

Lance was so engrossed in the raven that he attempted to bribe the raven, but with what???? There wasn't any foodstuff with us, so he decided to bribe the raven with

A STICK



~Losing sights~

After realizing that it has been cheated, it decided to fly away and before it did, it poo-ed dangerously close to Lance's brand new shoes. Serves the briber right! :Remember, bribing is bad... Hahaha...

~World Friendliest Raven~

Someone was jealous because I got to stroke the raven and he didn't get. Hahaha...

~Lance de'Cypher and Spring Fairy~

That person is standing next to me.



~Silhouette~

I took this picture because I like the way the sun was nicely shining exactly over the resting pavilion with the lil red dot as the reflection. It was taken with Lance de'Cypher's Wife a.k.a his precious SE W810i. It was tough getting the phone from him. Heheh...



~Colors~

One of the water lily pond in Cyberpark. It was such a sight. Colorful lilies dotting the whole pond. You can't see much in this picture but if you see the sight with your own eyes, you'd think you are no longer in Malaysia but in another foreign country. I guess they were right... Why travel across the ocean when you can actually see the same sight here in our own country.

~Looks like Claude Monet missed this~

Why I said that?? Look at the picture. It reminds me vividly of his famous water lily painting. I think if he was still alive today, you'd find him sitting down there and painting the scenery you see above. Such a peaceful looking setting and the reflection of the trees overlooking the pond... Simply breath taking...



~Sunset~

The end of the day as well the end of this blog post....

Or not?

I haven't wrote much about the times we had there. It was a fun filled time with lot of laughs (Lance's kick and fart, raven chase) with a lot of photos taken. We also indulged in ice cream with him whining that Jerry had more chocolate ice cream than him. Goodness.... All these memories, I will treasure them. You seldom get to really enjoy all these when you enter the work force and it's usually in your time as a student that you actually get to have all these kind of fun.

The story of Lance's kick and fart is actually he was trying to show off a karate/taekwando kick that he did immediately after he got his black belt. He just wanted to see if he can still do it.

The Verdict: Yes, he can still do it but it comes together with a fart.

That got Papa, Jerry and I laughing away like nut cases. I think I laughed until my tummy was pretty sore! Hahaha.....

Jeremy, Alex, Jet.. If you guys are reading this blog post, this is for you guys. I love you guys heaps !!! I'm already missing that day a lot already... :) Oh which reminds me, don't be mad with what I said. It all happened and we cannot deny that. If it can brighten someone else's life, let it do so :)

Why do I support Komas

I have meant to write about this for quite sometime already but it just keeps slipping out of my mind... You see me trying to promote Komas's Freedom Film Festival 2007; you'd be wondering why I am doing so.... I am doing this because I support their cause, as in what they are actively trying to create awareness of, which is

Empowerment with the poor and marginalized community towards the attainment of human rights in Malaysia, through popular communication approaches.

When we talk about the poor and the marginalized people, what usually comes into your mind??? These are some feedback when I asked some people.

Usually you think of the poor people in Malaysia as well as the people who are being downtrodden by society. I used to have that kind of thinking, but actually the poor and marginalized people are much more than that. There are the original people of this land but they are not fully given the rights they fully deserve. What more, in our daily life, we label people or should I say, classified them into different categories and hence creating a rift between the different races. Mind... When I was growing up, I recall very well my OWN mom telling me that I shouldn't mix much with the Malays and the Indian people. The reason, Malays are lazy people and the Indians are thieves No serious offense, my Malay and Indian friends... I never though of those AT ALL!!! I just want to show one of the many examples of how people think and WE, as the children have been brought up hearing all this and been imbued with THIS kind of thinking. Since it has been told to us since we were young, we actually tend to follow it. How many of us will actually stop and ponder whether all these are true???? I dare say that only a small handful will actually stop and smell the roses; to know what the real reality of things is. Have YOU stopped and smell the roses of reality???

We acknowledge the Malays as the "bumiputra" of Malaysia, as in the original settlers in Malaysia but what about the indigenous people??? THEY are the real original settlers of Malaysia. Yes, yes... I know you are going to tell me that they are also acknowledged as "bumiputra" but are they really getting the benefits they rightly deserve??? If there are, why are there such issues as Land Rights??? If it belongs to them, give them. It's their right as well; it IS their ancestral land after all. Why are we denying them that right??? I know... For the sake of development, we got to make sacrifices and stuff. HOWEVER! Are you sure that you want to sacrifice their WAY OF LIFE?? The forest is their source of life.

Download, watch this video and tell me, ARE WE TREATING THEM RIGHT???
Ponder on that

Food for Thought

When I was younger, I used to wonder about the people around me. Why were there poverty and also the special treatment that my parents used to talk about. Why were there also people who work so hard just to get what they want. I was a child then, so forgive my wondering and questioning mind. I recall very vividly that my aunt called me a cross breed between a television and a radio! Why so, you will ask.. Well... It's because I talk too much. I had too many things to talk about; hence the many questions and things I talk about.

As I grew up, I was caught in the politics of being in a uniformed body. I was a St. John member then back in my school. I noticed that only those who are close to the out going president are the people who usually rose in ranks. I did try it and actually, it proved my theory right. It did happen and I recall vividly that my commander in the marching troop mentioned to me that I am the kind of person who can raise in ranks just because of the connection. Sorry to say I am not like that but more or less, testing my theory which proved correct. More or less, I think I enjoyed myself a lot and gained a lot in the process and also played the role of answering to the officers when things go wrong in school activities or when we fail to be active in the Area. The thing is, we are students and we gotta focus on our studies, hence we can't afford to be very active. Yeaps... Others can do, so why not you people?? Lemme tell you this. We do try our best but we just can't and our teacher advisers wanted us to focus more on our studies as well.

Now, I am a University student who has a mind of her own. Thanks to the experiences that I have gained via National Service; yup, I was one of the lucky people who were chosen for it and was the first of the first, the guinea pigs as they label us but I beg to differ. The trainers in charge knows what they are doing and I sadly miss those days. Besides that, I had my experiences as an exco in a uniformed body, learning from my peers as well as learning from my surroundings and also not to mention in my own private life.

In my heart, I wonder what is right in the world now. Everywhere I see, there are politics all around me. Sometimes in playing with those politics, we hurt our own friends around us. Are you sure that is what you want??? I have hurt my friends before and I really rue it. The thing about joining the society in the University is because you want your resume to look good. Why look for a good resume when you are hurting your friends??? I'd rather not. Call me what you want but I believe in my own words.

I might not even want to go out and work, but my mom will kill me, I guess, I wanna work for the better good of the people and also the better of the world. People say, start small, okay.. I will and I make it good. Is this maybe the kind of stuff I should be doing instead of getting an office job??

Which Malaysian Blogger am I ???

Got a bit of writer's block for a while... Will update about certain events that happened recently when I get hold of the pictures, okay ?? Bear with me for this short time....

Congratulations Spring Breeze, you are...

minishorts of minishorts.net

You are outgoing, direct, smart, pretty, and a definite go-getter. You are frank, a little too frank perhaps that sometimes you get on people's nerves and make them very upset. If people attack you, you hit back with triple the force without blinking because you are the kind of person who knows exactly what you are talking about or else you wouldn't talk about it. Your quick-thinking is what makes you special. You are an elitist.

Which Malaysian Blogger Are You?

Happy International Women's Day !!!!

Happy International Women's Day !!! Guys, be extra nice to the girls and Girls, be proud that you are female. =)

Trailer of what is to come

Fraility of Life

There were 2 waves of earthquake in Sumatra. The tremors was felt even until Singapore and Malaysia. 70 lives were lost so far and still counting but not forgotten by their loved ones. Even though we know them not, let us pray for them who have departed. At times like this that we actually think about the fragility of our lives. We chase after the materialistic things in the world but have we come to realize what is more important in life???

To me, living a good life is better than any materialistic things that you can get out there. The most precious thing is the Love that we all share and give without asking anything in return. Is it possible to actually love people who you do not know, some would ask.. This is my answer to you. It is possible. actually, nothing is impossible in this world. If you have God, nothing is. You know deep in your heart there is faith. With faith, anything is possible. You don't have to know a person for you to sympathize with them. You don't need to touch a rose to know it is a rose.

All the people in this world are brothers and sisters, whether we like it or not. We all look the same. One nose, 2 eyes,one mouth and a pair of ears. Not forgetting also arms and legs. We were not given those to use them simply. We were given that to serve one another, not only God but also those who needs us. Don't tell me no one needs you or you don't need somebody in your life. You will need one also eventually because we are normal human beings with normal body functions and also feelings. We have emotions that allow us to feel pain and anguish, love and joy and the many emotions that we possess as humans. Let's serve one another as long as we can. Not by money, but by caring. The first step of loving someone, is by caring for the person.

My dear fellow readers, I hope you all would pray for those people who you do not know. The people in Indonesia, the place where so many lives were lost not only through earthquakes and Tsunami but also of the airplane crash and the capsized boat. Pray that their souls may rest in peace without having to care anymore about what is going on in this world. Free of their worldly suffering to enjoy the life together with God in His arms. They have gone to their rest, May God Grant them repose in Him. Amen

~ In Memory of the Earthquake Victims who has returned home ~

Let's Do Something...

~If We Hold on Forever~
(Diana Ross)

Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Somebody is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I

Never let go of your dreams, hopes, love, the small and little things that you hold dear. They are the most important things in your life. Never EVER let it go!


Dream on, my dear friends.. It' s the thing that makes the world go round. The joy of realizing the dream is so good that it actually encourages you to keep on achieving your dream.

I dream a lot and it is the thing that keeps me going in my life. When things go wrong, remembering the things that is still unfinished and unfulfilled makes me wanna keep working to making them a reality. Even the pains and the harsh words that I have receives just washes over me and calms me.

I have a lot of things that I care for, things to do, life to lead, many many of them... There are ups and downs in my life but these are also the memories and the lessons that I need to go through life. My teachers about the day... These are your real teachers. Books can only bring this much but experiencing life can be a breathe of fresh air. You will be inspired by what you have seen and learn that you want to do something back.

In reference to Sweet Torment

Now, this is a disclaimer for the earlier post....

No, I am NOT in a relationship let alone a Long Distance one. I'm happier being single and not available.... No need to worry for so many things.Been into a few and things didn't work out a lot.. I'm not looking for anymore heartaches... I wanna spend my time doing things I like to do and not let anyone tie me down yet. I really need to explore what is it like to be in relationship all over again.. Somewhat I think I am already jaded in this game of love... Pains of heartache, the change in my personality till I didn't even know my own self anymore... I am not willing to go through that again..

I want to just remain me myself. Happy, free, crazy, hyperactive, talkative, playful and loud. If I am to fall in love again, I hope I will end up with a guy who will love me as who I am and not try to change me. Wonder if that can actually happen... It's so hard to see this kind of guys around anymore.. As if they are an extinct species now... hmmm...

Anyway, just enjoy your life and ALWAYS make the correct choice. You wouldn't wanna regret your decisions, trust me... I have gone through enough to know how it feels like. My love to you people out there where ever you are...

For a closing of some of my thoughts, I wanna share this song from King and I, "Hello, young lovers" from Rodgers and Hammerstein of The King and I fame

Hello young lovers, whoever you are,
I hope your troubles are few.
All my good wishes go with you tonight,
I've been in love like you.

Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star,
Be brave and faithful and true,
Cling very close to each other tonight.
I've been in love like you.

I know how it feels to have wings on your heels,
And to fly down the street in a trance.
You fly down a street on the chance that you meet,
And you meet -- not really by chance.

Don't cry young lovers, whatever you do,
Don't cry because I'm alone;
All of my memories are happy tonight,
I've had a love of my own.
I've had a love of my own, like yours-
I've had a love of my own.

Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star,
Be brave and faithful and true,
Cling very close to each other tonight.
I've been in love like you.

I know how it feels to have wings on your heels,
And to fly down the street in a trance.
You fly down a street on the chance that you meet,
And you meet -- not really by chance.

Don't cry young lovers, whatever you do,
Don't cry because I'm alone;
All of my memories are happy tonight,
I've had a love of my own.
I've had a love of my own, like yours-
I've had a love of my own.

~ Love don't see color either so, be with who your heart desires~

Sweet Torment

Why are you always there
lying in waiting
To pounce on me
Are you a dream hound??
Tormentor of my mind
With thoughts of you
Why can't I get you out
No matter how hard
The time and effort
used to forget you
BUT!
You are always there

Smiling

A gentle hug for me
A gentle kiss on my lips
You are always there
For me

Spring Fairy

In conjunction of the last day of Chinese New Year as well as the Chinese Valentine's Day, this poem is dedicated to all you people who are love birds, especially those who are involved in a Long Distance Relationship.
