Avril Lavigne Rocks Stadium Merdeka

KUALA LUMPUR: Despite protests, the controversial Avril Lavigne's Best Damn Tour made its way to Stadium Merdeka last night.

More than 6,000 screaming fans welcomed the singer as she arrived. The tour marked her first visit to Malaysia.

Rock princess Lavigne first rose to fame in 2002. Her three albums, Let Go (2002), Under My Skin (2004), and The Best Damn Thing (2008) have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.

Clad in an all-black attire, the rock singer abide the required dress code and did not expose too much skin.

The Canadian, accompanied by a five-piece-band, opened the show with her biggest hit from her latest album called Girlfriend.
Lavigne, who is married to Deryck Whibley from the rock band, Sum 41, was accompanied by a dance troupe that consisted of four back-up vocals.

Not known to have the best vocals in the industry, the 23-year-old relied heavily on her showmanship through gimmicks and playing her infamous pink instruments, including guitars, piano and drums.

The 75-minute performance ended with Lavigne belting out one of her earlier hits, Sk8er Boi.

Lavigne sang 17 songs including Complicated, My Happy Ending, Runaway, Losing My Grip, I Don't Have to Try and I'm With You.

More than 50 protesters from Pas Youth distributed fliers to show their disapproval of the concert which they deemed inappropriate for the Merdeka Day celebrations and also because it was held too close to the holy month of Ramadan.

Earlier, GAMIS (Gabungan Mahasiswa Islam Se-Malaysia) organized a peaceful rally from Masjid Negara to Dataran Merdeka at 2pm.

Lavigne's concert created a media frenzy when its promoters Galaxy Group failed to obtain permits for the show despite early publicity and ticket sales.

The concert only received approval a week before the day of the concert after a series of pleas and meetings between the promoters and the Ministry of Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage.

AVRIL LAVIGNE Concert Canceled?!

"KUALA LUMPUR: The final decision on Canadian rocker Avril Lavigne's concert will only be made next week.

As for now, it is postponed and not canceled, said Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal yesterday.

However, he confirmed that the concert would not be held on Aug 29 as originally scheduled because it would clash with the National Day celebrations.

"During this Merdeka (independence) month, we will also be holding religious programmes, including tahlil prayers at the National Mosque on Aug 29.

"We don't want to promote values that are foreign to Malaysian culture," he said at a press conference in conjunction with the National Day celebrations which would kick off on Aug 29.

Mohd Shafie reminded concert organisers not to sell tickets until they obtained approvals from his ministry and the local authorities.

"The organisers submitted their application only a few days ago," he said.

It was earlier reported that Lavigne's The Best Damn Tour concert was cancelled because it was deemed "too sexy" and inappropriate for the National Day celebrations.

Meanwhile, the show's promoter Galaxy Group said it had yet to decide on whether to request for a new date.

In the past, the Galaxy Group had brought in famous entertainers including Celine Dion, Backstreet Boys, My Chemical Romance, Mariah Carey and Alan Tam.

Freelance promoter Cynthia Chen said foreign event promoters and artistes may not understand the situation and it may scare them away.

"They will have the wrong impression of us."

Chen had faced the same situation in 1995. "We wanted to bring in Rod Stewart that year. The Home Ministry told us to have it earlier than Aug 31 and told us to shift the location from Selangor to Kuala Lumpur. Despite doing everything, the concert was canceled," she said, adding that they had to refund the money for the 60,000 tickets sold.

Pineapple Concerts chairman Razlan Ahmad Razali said the proposed cancellation of Lavigne's concert was unfair to the promoters.

"I pity the organizers. They most probably won't get their money back if the concert is canceled.

"The ministry has to understand the scenario faced by the promoters. We do not have the artistes' schedule months in advance. On an ordinary basis, we have less than three months to work on the concert and to prepare the necessary documents. Plus, we have to start promoting the concert as soon as possible. We are constrained by time."

Razlan said promoters were now cautious about bringing foreign acts here.

"We want the best entertainment for the people but such incidents dampen our spirits," he said.

Last month, the concert by Indonesian dangdut star Inul Daratista at Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil was canceled due to permit complications and for security reasons.

In 2007, Pineapple Concerts was asked to cancel Beyonce's show due to the singer's refusal to abide by the country's dress code for performers."

Now this really sucks~! For some lame excuses, "they" decide to make things not better, but for worse. Indeed like my previous post, quoted from NST online, if "they" have nothing much to do and too much time to spend on, why don't spend time and focus on other matters?

ARrgggghhh!!!!! I just don't wanna write no more about this issue, expressing something here is just not enough! Well, indeed, if the concert is canceled, the ministry especially the one who makes the decision SHOULD BE CURSED~! This is not only by me, but all Avril fans not only in Malaysia, but world wide. Avril is no ordinary rock star, she's a QUEEN! Her concert, her songs, her lyrics, her music, her rhythm etc are all transparent. These lead to show the real self in us, not wearing a mask all the time. Now I'm agree with that a lot! Can't survive without wearing masks in public? Ridiculous...

Because the date is near to National Day of Malaysia? Rock & Punk concerts would bring negative effects to the youth? Other religious events are held during the same day? etc... ABSURD~! These are just lame excuses! Very PATHETIC... After "they" have won the state election, so "they" think "they" are the ruler and king! Screw "them"! What were your pledges? Serve the public, serve the community, and serve the nation? Yeah right, if you can't give the public what they ask for, don't promise.

AVRIL LAVIGNE CONCERT: Don't be so narrow-minded

"I READ with utter disgust and increasing frustration your report about the Pas Youth Council (Federal Territory division) trying to get the Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry to scuttle another concert by a foreign artiste -- this time by pop rock singer Avril Lavigne ("Protest over concert" -- NST, Aug 11).

Where did the Pas Youth Council's Kamaruzaman Mohamad get the idea that he and his merry band have the right to be our moral guardians?

If he's so concerned about Malaysian youths, then he would do well to look into the problems of rampaging Mat Rempit, the majority of whom are made up of teenagers.

Not to mention the thousands of Malaysians who are drug addicts and who resort to petty crimes to finance their addiction. These are the people who need help, not music enthusiasts who just want to have a good time.

If anyone finds Avril Lavigne so distasteful, then don't go to see the show. Many Malay-sians would like to hear her sing and, believe me, they would not turn into moral degenerates just because of one concert.

I suppose the ministry will again give in to this group of bigots, regardless of the views of the majority. I find it increasingly infuriating that this country has to live by the moral code of a bunch of narrow-minded people who insist that every Malaysian should toe the line of their rigid and dogmatic views.

Where is my right as a citizen of a supposedly democratic country? The right to live my life as I see fit as long as I don't harm anybody else?

This is a basic civil liberty which is the inalienable right of every Malaysian, which lately has been hijacked by a group of demagogues who should be keeping their noses out of matters that do not concern them."

(JFL) Naked Miles (JFL)

A woman was having a daytime affair while her husband was at work. One wet and lusty day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror, she heard her husband's car pull into the driveway.

"Oh my God - Hurry! Grab your clothes and jump out the window. My husband's home early!"

"I can't jump out the window ~ It's raining out there!"

"If my husband catches us in here, he'll kill us both!" she replied. He's got a hot temper and a gun, so the rain is the least of your problems!"

So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out the window!

As he ran down the street in the pouring rain, he quickly discovered he had run right into the middle of the town's annual marathon, so he started running along beside the others, about 300 of them.

Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to Blend in as best he could. After a little while a small group of runners who had been watching him with some curiosity, jogged closer.

"Do you always run in the nude?" one asked.

"Oh yes!" he replied, gasping in air. "It feels so wonderfully free!"

Another runner moved along side. "Do you always run carrying your clothes with you under your arm?"

"Oh , yes," our friend answered breathlessly.

"That way I can get dressed right at the end of the run and get in my car to go home!"

Then a third runner cast his eyes a little lower and queried, "Do you always wear a condom when you run? "

"Nope.........just when it's raining."

Can't Take That Away

They can say anything they want to say
Try to bring me down
But I will not allow
Anyone to succeed
Hanging clouds over me
And they can try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams

'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me

They can do anything they want to you
If you let them in
But they won't ever win
If you cling to your pride
And just push them aside
See I have learned there's an inner peace I own

Something in my soul
That they cannot possess
So I won't be afraid
And darkness will fade

'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me

No
They can't take this
Precious love
I'll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Where I need to go

They can say anything they want to say
Try to break me down
But 1 won't face the ground
I will rise steadily
Sailing out of their reach

They do try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams

'Cause there's a light in me that shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me

How To Love

Fall but do not stumble, be consistent but not too persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and try not to demand, and get hurt but never keep the pain.


The only way to love is not finding the perfect person, but by loving the imperfect person perfectly...! True love does not have happy ending, it simply does not end.


Do not go for looks, they can deceive. Do not go for wealth even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make dark day seem bright.


When the time comes for you to give your heart to someone, make sure that you select someone who will never break your heart because broken heart has no spare parts...!!!


A true love is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you today the way you are, learn to love the people who are willing to love you at present. Forget the people in the past and thank them for hurting you which led you to love the person with you right now.

Profile Of A Rapist

Using methods not unlike those employed by FBI profilers to predict the behavior of serial killers, police and forensic psychologists have identified four profiles of rapists defined by motive, style of attack and psychosexual characteristics.


They are:

• The power-assertive rapist

• The anger-retaliation rapist

• The power-reassurance rapist

• The anger-excitation rapist

Such rapist behavior profiles provide information that may be helpful in determining how best to respond to a specific kind of attacker.
These are the characteristics of each of the four rapist profiles:


Power-assertive rapist: Athletic, has a "macho" image of himself. More often than not, this is the type who commits date rapes. He typically meets his victim in a bar or nightclub. Instead of targeting a specific victim, he looks for an opportunity to get a woman alone with him, perhaps with an offer of a ride home or an invitation back to his place. Or he may con his victim into trusting him or letting him into her home, perhaps by posing as a policeman or repairman. Approximately 44 percent of rapes are committed by power-assertive rapists. He is physically aggressive, and will use the amount of force needed to control you -- degrading or obscene language, [brandishing] a weapon, slapping or punching -- but he does not intend to kill you.

Generally, begging and crying doesn't work with this guy. If you're going to resist, you've got to be serious. You've got to scream and fight him as hard as you can to get away.


Anger-retaliatory rapist: He feels animosity towards women and wants to punish and degrade them. Often he is a substance abuser. He is impulsive and has an explosive temper. He looks for an opportunity to commit the rape rather than for a specific victim. He attacks spontaneously and brutalizes the woman into submission. Thirty percent of rapists fall into the anger-retaliation category. He will grab you from behind and drag you into the bushes. He will often beat you to near-unconsciousness before committing the rape. Any level of resistance may well enrage him and cause him to beat the hell out of you until he gets what he wants. He's not looking to kill you, but the beating could be fatal. You do not want to challenge or enrage this type of rapist. You could try to escape. If you cannot get away or incapacitate the assailant, it's best to submit and try to limit the level of violence of the assault to the extent that you can.


Power-reassurance rapist: He lacks the self-confidence and interpersonal skills to develop relationships with women. He is passive and nonathletic. He lives or works near his victim, and "preselects" her by peeping or stalking. He typically breaks into her home in the early hours of the morning and awakens her. He uses minimal force and will threaten her with a weapon, but usually does not have one. He fantasizes that he is his victim's lover so he may ask her to disrobe or to wear a negligee and he will kiss her and engage in foreplay. The power-reassurance type accounts for 21 percent of rapists. He is the least violent type of rapist, and does not intend to hurt or kill you, among the different types of rapists, he is most likely to be dissuaded if you scream, cry, plead or fight." In general it is more probable that you can discourage a rapist who uses this [power reassurance] approach. But you could instead be dealing with a power assertive rapist who is starting off with a softer approach. Try nonviolent tactics, crying, pleading, and praying aloud while you're sizing up the assailant. If it works you may be able to escape the situation. But if he responds by becoming verbally abusive or degrading, he is likely a power assertive rapist and you will have to evaluate whether you are capable of fighting him off.

"Women need to rely on their instincts. When confronted with a rapist they will try various techniques. In this situation, take full advantage of your instincts in trying to figure out which type of rapist you are dealing with".


Anger-excitation rapist: A sadist, who derives sexual gratification from inflicting pain. He is typically charming and intelligent. The crime is premeditated and rehearsed methodically in his mind before it is attempted. His victims may or may not be strangers. He will tie, gag and blindfold them and torture them over a period of days, even recording his crimes in a diary, taking photographs or videotaping them. Just five percent of rapists fit this description.

Of the four types he is the most criminally sophisticated and it's difficult to catch him. He's got absolute control over you so there's no question of any type of resistance or of escaping. Oftentimes he kills his victims, either to get rid of a witness or to gratify a psychosexual need." This is probably the most dangerous situation a woman can be in. If you're tied up, you're going to have to match wits with this guy and trick him or talk him into untying you so you have at least some chance of escape.


Most rapists are not murderers. It is less likely that a woman - even one who has taken a women's self-defense course -- can overcome the intensity of the violence that an anger rapist will inflict. But power rapists commit nearly two-thirds of all rapes, and you have a fighting chance to fend them off. If you assess the situation and feel confident of your ability to fight or talk your way out of [being raped], go ahead and do it.


There are women who have yelled or fought back, whether they've taken self-defense classes or not, and have not gotten raped. To tell a woman 'DON'T DO ANYTHING, BE THE PASSIVE FEMALE' IS ABSOLUTE (NONSENSE).


Given that the goal of all women who are in imminent danger of being raped is to avoid it, they should rely on their instincts rather than assume that they have to submit. But whatever her instincts tell her to do, if a woman survives, she made the right choice.

My Style

Cool, I'm surprised that my hair is getting longer and longer. I had already dyed my hair twice this year. I'm thinking of highlighting them soon. Just waiting for the right time to act. I wonder why there were some people asking me why not I cut my hair short. Was it because I'm a guy? Was it because I might looker more neat and nicer in short hair? Was it because an impression?

It's okay for them to ask, human being has curiosity. Well, from my point of view, I just don't bother because I just wanna have my own style. Even if I was mistaken of my gender by others. Just part of the plan. Being unique and special is what I aim. Life should be full of surprises and excitement, else it would be a dull life. Even if sometimes we have to rest and relax, have a peaceful life. Chaotic and hectic life would just make us go insane easily.

Well, from the bottom of my heart, every single of my hair represents my patience, my passion, my desire, my dreams, my wishes, my love, my sensation towards my enthusiasm in doing something, loving someone, and building my own life. So, please understand. The world is round, so is our brain. Think outside a box is also one of a key factor to be successful. I'm just being who I am, but not being someone that I'm not.

What Goes Around Comes Around

He was tired and aching and on his way home from a long day at work, so he almost didn't see the old lady stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His old Pontiac was still sputtering as he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.

He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you.

He said, "I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson."

Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire.

As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.

Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.

He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, "Pass it on."

He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan .

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: "This isn't a tip, it's a gift. You don't owe me anything. Somebody once helped me out and if you feel you want to pay me back, don't let this chain of love end with you, pass it on."

Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it to closing time.
That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard....

She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a gentle kiss and whispered soft and low, "Everything's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson."

There is an old saying "What goes around comes around." Today I sent you this story, and I'm asking you to pass it on. Let this light keep shining.

Good friends are like stars....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.

Hair

This photo was taken during the Friday 13th picnic at Chendering Beach. I wonder why is there any problem when guys have long hairs and they don't interrupt or disturb others all the way? Perhaps when it comes to a proper dress code, indeed guys would look neat when in short hair. Sometimes, shouldn't we think outside the box?
I remembered one of my Dale Carnegie Training® classmate shared his incident. He mentioned that he was told to cut his hair (he really has very long hair for a guy) by his superior. He would agree to cut if the person was saying that nicely to him. Yet, it was vice versa, his superior was impolite. Therefore, he would not listen and he said he would stop if he was still being ordered impolitely. His point was: he has long hair, he always finishes his tasks, he never disturbs others with his appearance, he's polite etc. But how was he treated? It even also happened when he was buying food. The owner of the shop thought he was just one of the 'bad guys' because of his appearance. Well, he never doubt, he applied Dale Carnegie 5th principle: Smile. The owner felt uneasy with his own feeling whether how to categorize my classmate. Perhaps, the power of 'SMILE' then. No wonder there were people saying: Never judge a book by its cover.
From my point of view, he is an Animator, a cartoonist and an artist. It's never wrong to has his own style because every artist has unique personality and appearance. Why should we bother? It's for their sake of creativity and idea. Just stop being hypocrite for god sake.

Friday The 13th

Friday The 13th, it has been quite a long time I never watched these movie series. It started "Friday The 13th - First Chapter" until ended at "Jason X" (meaning 10th episode). The story was all about unstoppable serial killing machine, Jason Vorhees. To get details, just watch the whole series. Why I am writing this? Look at your calender or time on your bottom right, it is a Friday, and it is also the 13th day of the month. So this struck my mine...
Anyway, last night I attended another wedding of my secondary schoolmate at Ocean Restaurant. The food was quite nice though (in Terengganu). I am not making comparison with other places. Today early in the morning I went to the bride's place. In our Chinese culture, the groom would come to bring the bride back to his place. The situation was in a hurry because the groom did come a little bit late than expected. The whole ceremony was supposed to be done within the fine timing according to the Chinese Calender.
Later after the ceremony, I went to attend another function, held by Solution Class of SPIKE@Terengganu. We were having a picnic session at Chendering Beach. There was a BBQ session as well. All of us were having quite some fun, and of course we never missed out the photo taking sessions. Anyway, when I first reached the place, it was quite nice. Then later I noticed that public dustbins were prepared. Yet, there were still irresponsible holiday vacationer throwing everything everywhere. Luckily we were not like that.

See You Again, Malacca

Finally I'd attended the wedding dinner. It's time to say good bye to Malacca in a moment. Basically, I'd like to thank my cousin brother for letting me staying a night at his place. It was quite near to the place I was heading. Furthermore, he's quite a good host, I would like to thank him a lot~! He's studying in MMU Malacca Campus though.
Speaking of the wedding dinner last night (7th of June 2008), it was held at Malacca International Trade Center (MITC) Grand Hall. I brought a friend of mine along, a Malaccan. Holy, the environment was so nice, and the FOOD: Woolala~! Simply delicious~! I would like to share the list of the food:-

1. Cold Plate (We usually call it in Chinese, just a word to word translation)
2. Sharks' Fin & Abalone Soup (Magnificently delicious)
3. Sweet & Sour Deep Fried Chicken
4. Steamed Fish
5. Peking Duck
6. Butter Prawn
7. Pork Feet With Vinegar (Should try this)
8. Dessert (Yam & Melon Pudding)

Of course, there were extra beverages: Red Wine, Martel, Mineral Water, 7 Up, and Kikappo. LoL, indeed you guys were right, I only drank Red Wine, Martel, and Mineral Water HAHAHAHA...
The bride is a friend of mine, we were university mate. Definitely different Major and Faculty. She's from Accounting while I'm from IT. How did we know each other? Good question. We knew each other through an online chatting software named ICQ lol... Long time story. Right now most are using either Windows Live Messenger / Yahoo Messenger / Skype.
Back to the topic, she was very pretty that night, and of course, the groom was also in good shape. As people says: A girl would always look beautiful during her First Date, Wedding, and of course, extra pretty when she is in LOVE. No wonder Celine Dion sang the song "The Power Of Love". Indeed, love is an energy that could turn the world upside down.
Time is ticking... Looks like I'll just have to sign off here. Got a bus to catch :D

Malacca... Malacca...

Phew... Just after playing Grand Chase SEA. Feeling a bit dizzy... Last night went to a friend's place for some drinks. Long time never contact each others, so the 4 of us sitting together, singing karaoke at her house, and also we had Absolut Vodka, Beer, and a little bit of Chivas Regal. Luckily there were soda drinks, fruit punch, and chocolate. Perhaps I did not drink for quite some time. Hard to adapt to it...
Anyway, attending my University mate's wedding dinner on this coming Saturday (07/06/2008) at MITC, Malacca. So, I am taking tonight's bus. It has been quite some time I haven't stepped into Malacca since I finished my study in MMU last year. Just now one of my friend called, asking me to help him get a Red Wine over there... Hahaha... No choice, hard to get a taste of his own here in Kuala Terenngganu. There is sure a lot of choices available in Malacca. Going to find out for him XD
I haven't started packing yet. Thinking of the workload given by SKALI, SPIKE, and Dale Carnegie Training, I started to feel dizzy again (lol). A busy weekend perhaps.
Nevermind, I'm taking a vacation this week. Not going to think of these matters first. Some more there'll be a competency test on this coming Monday, by SKALI. Holy mama, I'll be reaching home from Malacca that dawn. Should be no problem for me to handle that I hope kekeke...
Looks like I'll just have to pack up my stuff first while reading the book SKALI LAGI (One More TIme) by Tengku Farith Rithauddeen. I'm no Doctor Octopus, so I have to stop typing now hahha... To be continued... Adios~

Petrol, Diesel, Oil & Gas

Hmm... Interesting... Petrol has bumped up to RM 2.70 per liter while Diesel is RM2.58. Some more with the annually rebate scheme, I wonder... What would happen within these few years? I remembered the day where our Prime Minister announced that petrol price would rise starting midnight, I was still working. When I reached home, my friend from Penang informed me. That time I doubted it since I was told the price should be altered starting August. I reconfirmed with The Star Online, it was 6.30pm… That night I was going out as well…

Thinking of filling up at any nearby petrol station, but when I passed through any of each, holy, the queues were so ostentatious and long~! Indeed, that time was 4 more hours to midnight. RM1.92 to RM2.70, a 40% rise could cause problems for some of us. That’s why everyone was so eager to fill up their tanks before the price started to rise. Amusingly, the petrol and even the diesel were in high demand until some of the petrol stations had to shut down earlier since out of gas. So, I made my decision only to fill up my tank on the other day. It was just not my style to queue up and get something limited and highly demanded. That was only happening in Kuala Terengganu, a developing town. When I read the news next day, in those big cities, the situation was even worse and caused havoc.

Last minute work concept???

To Love A Love

Tell me what were you thinking, what on Earth were you saying?
I know I've let you down, but don't you know I tried so hard to love you in my way?
There's nothing I could say to you, nothing I could ever do to make you see what you mean to me.
I try to find a way to carry on and I searched myself to see where I went wrong.
You make me so hot, make me wanna drop, you're so ridiculous, I can barely stop, I can barely breathe, you're so fabulous.
I will be all that you want and get myself together because you keep me from falling apart.
Without you I don't know what I'd do. Therefore, I'm holding on to it and I won't let it pass me by. You are all the things I thought I knew, and I thought we could be. You are still everything that I wanted.
So why can't I just tell you that I care? I'm feeling nervous, trying to be so perfect, because I know you're worth it. What's wrong with my tongue, these words keep slipping away, I stutter, I stumble, like I've got nothing to say.
Everytime I try to make you smile, you're always feeling sorry for yourself. Everytime I try to make you laugh, you can't because you are too tough~!
I just don't understand why you won't talk to me. It really hurts until I'm wanted for nothing. I wanted to know you, you don't know me, please don't ignore me.
When you're gone, the pieces of my hearts are missing you, the face I came to know is missing too, the words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok, I really miss you. I never felt this way before, everything I do reminds me of you...
Why do you always do this to me? Why couldn't you just see this through me? How come you act like this, like you just don't care at all. Do you expect me to believe I was the only one to fall? I can feel you near me even though you're far away.
It's not supposed to feel this way, I need you more and more each day.
To love a love that never loves back is a sacrifice, and it needs courage, persistence, warmth, will etc.

'Ikut Kiri Kecuali Memotong'
Something we could learn from the signboards by our JPJ. I wonder do the road use know the meaning or they just pretend that they own the road KNS... British style, overtake on the right, stay left if you are not overtaking...
Something or somewhat I could see from the road... Damn those people, drive slow PLEASE STAY ON YOUR LEFT~! If dunno what is 'LEFT', check the dictionary, now I'll translate it to you FOC~! LEFT: Kiri (Malay); 左 (Chinese). Slow mo! You are wasting others' time if you are blocking the way, especially when you are blocking the ambulance's way! Lives are at stake and you people just drive as you own the road! Come on people, no wonder so many bumper case! Whose fault? It's the authority's... Whose fault would be if one hits one's back bumper? Case by case? That sucks~! If the front car was aware of the car behind, STAY LEFT~! People wants to overtake because YOU ARE TOO SLOW~!!!!
Getting fast is dangerous? How do you interpret FAST? If is dangerous, why the authority is so attracted to F1, Split Race, Drag race? Don't take a flight because you'll get scared if you know on what speed the plane is at...
Back to the case, no matter how fast or slow you are driving, just stay on your left because you wouldn't know there are people who is slower or faster. 70km/h or 80km/h, even 120km/h please just stay on you left please!!!!!
So just stop acting so ignorant and arrogant. Especially those who are more senior, don't even think that you are a senior and others must respect. Case by case dude~ If you dunno how to act as one senior citizen, how should people respect you? Damn~! Some more, for the traffic police and police, shouldn't you all have more Mat Rempit to extinguish? I don't see any illegal street racing at my place, but there are Rempits all the way... Sometimes it is hard to manipulate them, why don't you just destroy them? Like you all do to hostile robbers... Don't you get the idea? Those in bigger groups are always more dangerous than those in smaller groups...
Anything for the readers to say, just leave your comments. Never hesitate to speak out or type out while you still can~! Adios~!

A Sunday, a busy day as usual...
Attending training at SPIKE@Terengganu in the morning, then later continue with Dale Carnegie® Training until evening, continue with a badminton session till late evening...
Phew... Just have the time to rest for a while. So I am writing this...
Oh ya~ Before I forget, something quite amusing happened when I was in the MALE Restroom. This incident happened after I'd changed into my sport attires. I stood in front of the mirror and started to comb my hair (quite long for a guy). Suddenly, a middle-aged man came in, he unzipped his trouser and when he wanted to pee, he paused shockingly when he turned his head to me. I was combing my hair silently. He paused for about a minute or two, then he asked whether I am a girl or a boy... He thought he stepped into the wrong restroom... I didn't blame him since he's not the first person mistaken me as a girl hehe... I answered him with smile and told him I'm a guy. In relief, he continued to do his business... Hahaha... I told my mum and my youngest sister, they laughed non-stop....
Sometimes, we should not make decision hastily. Take everything into account and analyze before making final decision. That's why people said don't judge a book by its cover...
