End of Days?
Came across something disturbing. In less than 10 years, NASA predicted that there will be an asteroid collision on the face of Earth. If it is true, I would really like to know what are the steps that NASA is undertaking to avoid direct collision.

On the 3rd Day of CNY, the Choi San sent to me...
Call me KL people, but I have not gone to Batu Caves yet..........till last Wednesday. Had always been asked to bring the AIESEC interns or visitors to that place, but had never made it in every occasion. So until last Wednesday, a bunch of AIESECers, hailed from Singapore and Taiwan, took the "first time" out of me, and in this case - to Batu Caves.
The chronology of the day began in KLCC when I met a group of AIESECers who brought some friends from Taiwan and China to visit Malaysia from Singapore for lunch. They had about 12 hours break in KL before continuing their bus journey to Penang and eventually, Langkawi before heading back to Singapore.
Mr Alvin was supposed to be the tour guide of the group that day. So initially, he suggested to head to Bukit Bintang's Times Square's indoor theme park. After lunch, I guessed they were too full to ride on any roller costers after having some big fishy meals in Manhattan Fish Market. Subsequently, Alvin thought of a brilliant idea to help with the fishy digestion - climbing Batu Caves. So there we went!
Driving there was easy. It only took about 20 minutes and the parking...was okay for RM2, and easy to find too. After all my life, I heard people talking about the toughness of climbing the stairs of Batu Caves, finally, I got to experience the steep flight of 272 steps to get into the cave...while enjoying the scenery and photographing.
Halfway climbing the many stairs of Batu Caves... on the 3rd day of CNY!
It was actually a scene of greenery...but the camera was not prepared for the sunlight.
The cave was indeed huge and great. There was a small precession in one of the temples when we were inside. Not long after, we sensed rain and we began to leave. We went to Steven's Corner in Pandan Indah to particularly, fill up my stomach as I didn't have lunch when they were in MFM. Eventually, we headed back to Carmen's house to pailin while the others took their time to rest and clean themselves before they headed to Puduraya to catch their bus at 11pm.
While for me, it was more to come. Went back home to also clean myself before zooming to Natalie's house to Fatt Choy. And er, well... it didn't end too well for me. It was nevertheless, great time for the whole day and of course, the Ong fishing session.
Cheers.

On Mission to Cambodia
I have finally discovered the ultimate mission for 2009. A post related to Service is the rent we pay for the space we occupy on Earth from Melvin Chan - Learning With You.As one of the first steps to fulfill my life objective (as I might have shared with some of you), it will begin with a Cambodian mission trip.
Destination: Cambodia
Period: At least 8 weeks
Objectives:
1. To understand and gain real insight into the daily lives of suburban Cambodians.
2. To find out, if any, problems faced by people who are affected with serious income disparity in the nation.
3. To understand about the economic situation of the country.
4. To affirm needs of assistance required by suburban Cambodians in the issue of poverty, if any.
5. To find opportunities for business expansion.
Means:
1. AIESEC
2. Founding of working committee
3. Forming of NGO
4. Individual basis
This would definitely be an interesting mission. Hope to make this a reality by October 2009.
Let me know if there is anyone interested to be part of this initiative.
Cambodia, here I come!Cheers.
Melvin's Back!
Bigger and better than before..I hope. And yes, my life rocks!It's Chinese New Year. At least some serious time off to reflect of the things that have happened for the past year. In fact, a lot of things have happened and many people whom I have crossed path with. In fact, the last 7 months were one of the brokest (any word like that...? But you know what I mean) time of my life. Undoubtedly, the best learning I have experienced in my life.
At this time of the year, I am analysing many routes that I can take to reach my goals. Before, I could only look at one or two because I was on one of them and just clearing the bushes ahead. Now, I am taking a deep breath, hoping to climb on the highest tree around and look for alternative paths that I can take which can lead me to the destination faster. Hmm...where is it ya?
Indeed, a very enlightening moment of Chinese New Year. This is where I have more moment for myself and to re-establish the conversation with myself.
Coming up, it would be more exciting on what lies ahead.
Cheers.
Caught on Camera
I really salute men who can carry the character of a lady well. To be frank, I understand how do they feel as I've been there before (don't missunderstood me, I just participated in a cross-dressing competition as forced)But when things go wrong and turn awry, the beauty can be the ugliest beast mankind have ever seen.
However, sometimes when things go wrong, they turn ugly but "attractive". The "attractiveness" can even capture the man of good-breed, Tan Sri Teh Hiong Piow. The pictures below are taken from the recent annual dinner of Public Bank. The 1st picture looked awful at the first glance. However, when the 2nd picture was viewed, it tells something. Look how Tan Sri was smiling eh? It must have reminded him of AC's (don't know who's that? just ask!) ones, huh?
Lol.
See, I told you so.
Cheers.

Timothy Tiah had his share too?
Surprising (at least for me) but true, Timothy, for the first time actually nanged one of my postings about tempting secretaries. Lol.
To think what draws him to the post, I then wonder, has he encountered something like that before?
Interesting.... Just joking btw, Timmy!
Cheers.

CONFESSION OF A DEVASTATED BOSS
Two weeks ago was my 45th birthday, and I wasn't feeling too hot that morning anyway. I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and say "Happy Birthday," and probably have a present for me. She didn't even say "Good Morning," let alone any "Happy Birthday."
I thought, "Well, that's wives for you, the children will remember." The children came in to breakfast and didn't say a word. When I started to leave for the office I was feeling pretty low and despondent.
As I walked into my office, my secretary, Janet, said, "Good morning, boss. Happy Birthday." And I felt a little better; someone had remembered. I worked until noon.
Then, Janet knocked on my door and said "You know, it's such a beautiful day outside and it's your birthday, let's go to lunch, just you and me." I said, "By George, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go."
We went to lunch.
We didn't go where we normally go; we went out to the country to a little private place. We had two martinis and enjoyed lunch tremendously.
On the way back to the office, she said, "You know, it's such a beautiful day. We don't need to go back to the office, do we?"
I said, "No, I guess not."
She said, "Let's go to my apartment." After arriving at her apartment she said, "Boss, if you don't mind, I think I'll go into the bedroom and slip into something more comfortable."
"Sure," I replied excitedly.
She went into the bedroom and, in about six minutes, she came out carrying a big birthday cake, followed by my wife, children, and dozens of our friends, all singing Happy Birthday.
And there I sat... on the couch... naked.

Our Future?
I received an e-mail on the prediction of the future as according to one Brazillian from a friend of mine (in fact, it was a forwarded e-mail). Heard of it a bit last week when the radio actually broadcasted a brief profile of the Brazillian.
Mr. Juseleeno, born in 1960(reportedly still alive in 2008), is a Brazilian who has made many predictions, and MOST have come to pass, including Princess Diana's death by car accident (which is instigated by someone near her and will probably unfortunately be written off as a car accident), 911 and the 2004 Indonesian tsunami. He sees the future in his dreams, and has an average of 3 to 9 such predictions per day. When he wakes up, he will write them down, and send warnings to those concerned.
If it concerns only a normal individual, he will write a letter to warn him/her.If it is a famous person(celebrity, politician etc.), or matters concerning the public, he will not only send it to the individual himself/herself, but also related agencies, government, and media. He urged the media to publicise these predictions, but the reply always went along the lines of rejection for fear of arousing public panic.
Future predictions:
2008, July: There will be an earthquake in Japan, which will cause a tsunami of 30 plus metres high to occur as well.
2008, 18th September: An earthquake with magnitude of approximately 9.1 will rock China , simultaneously causing a tsunami of more than 30 metres to occur, resulting in the deaths of more than 1 million people.
Although this huge earthquake will happen after the Olympics have ended, there will be a series of relatively smaller earthquakes occurring in China before the huge earthquake. The China government, which is more concerned with the success of the Olympics, will most likely neglect to employ appropriate cautionary measures, thus the high casualty rate. If the China government does not publicise the occurrence of these minor earthquakes and evacuate people, the number of deaths will be as predicted.
2008, 17th December: terrorist attack in America
2010: The temperatures in some countries of Africa could be as high as 58 degrees Celsius, and there will be a serious shortage of water.
2010, 15th June: The New York Stock Exchange market will fail, causing an international financial crisis.
2011: The research on the treatment of some cancers will be completed, but a new life-threatening virus will appear. People who are infected will die after only approx. 4 hours of coming into contact with the virus.
2013, 1st - 25th November: Research on treatment of cancers, except for brain tumors, will be completed. An earthquake, caused by volcanic eruptions, will happen on Bahama Island of the Canary Islands. A gigantic tsunami of roughly 150 metres will result. America mainlands, Brazil etc. will be affected, with the tsunami pushing into the land as far as 15 to 20 kilometres. Before the occurrence of this gigantic tsunami, the sea/ocean water levels will sink by about 6 metres, and large flocks of birds will start to migrate.
2014: A small planet that has been gradually closing in on Earth might eventually collide with Earth, and this collision, if come to pass, will affect the survival of humans as a whole.
2015: By the mid of November, the average temperature of Earth could be as high as 59 degrees Celsius. Many people will die from the overheat, and international confusion and terror ensues.
2016, April: A huge typhoon will invade China, causing massive damage. The 43rd USA president, George Walker Bush, will enter the hospital, and faces a life or death situation.
2026, July: A super earthquake will occur in San Francisco, and it will be named "The Big One". Huge damage to surrounding areas. Many volcanoes will re-activate, and the height of resulting tsunami will be more than 150 metres.
Mr. Juseleeno made known his predictions in hopes that people will take heed of his warnings, so that these disasters may be avoided. He hopes there will be a major change in the thinking of people's mindsets in the time period 2007 - 2008. One factor will be the environmental issue of global warming, which is more serious than what some meteorologists assume.
I wish it's only a prank... Well, better be prepared than never. We'll never know what will happen in the near future.
Cheers.

I Watched Indy!
Lucky me. I was one of the many first people on Earth to get to view Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of The Crystal Skull before the official screening.
Okla. Well, I was one of the viewers during the media screening in Mid Valley today. The movie was quite fun, to be honest, equipped with actions throughout the whole 2-hour show.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of The Crystal Skull is a show where it's about Jones vs Cold War Russians and concluded with the aliens(?) got rid of the villains. Which means, it got to the typical and common Lucas and Spielberg subject. (Remember E.T. and Star Wars?)
Came with it was a bit of psychic affairs (the actual word should be paranormal as it involves aliens and psychics) By the way, the crystal skull was in fact, the head of an alien! But it looked seriously fake, very much like a plastic than a crystal with flashing lights. Well, I'm not going to review much about the movie here as I'll rather leave some room for anxiety towards this movie to you guys. Don't want to take the suspense out of a good movie like this.
The best thing about the screening was... there wasn't any viewers who left the cinema before the show ended and it's seriously quite a good thing. (...where generally, in most media screening, there'll be at least ONE who leaves the cinema before it ends)
Besides that, I'm quite sure that the movie was actually hinting that there would be another sequel coming our way.
I would recommend this movie to everyone who wishes to have a good time-out with family members.
Rating: 4/5
Cheers.

Fishing My Way To Made Of Honor
Can't believe that I was made to fish 'virtually' in order for me to obtain invites to a dinner at JW Marriott and a movie premier of Made of Honor. However, this time, I'm persevered enough to fish for the invites just to give Christine a deserved outing for being there for me during the tough hard times. As I was busy and still is, busy with the inception project, I really want to give her a treat and a great time for the night.
I realised I'm really suck in virtual fishing.... but I really want the invites for the movie(pic below)! Here I come again fishy..fishy...
If you guys want to be part of the dinner and movie premier, click here to start fishing too!
Good luck and cheers.
Independent What?
Establishment of Proposed Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission?
I bet the commission will be overloaded with work(complaints) and too much of them! The idea of (optimally, 60%) police being transparent and clean? It makes me want to laugh so hard and at the same time, feeling sick with that statement. The pigs are definitely much cleaner than these retards.
One specific, obvious area, for me, in the police force that is way too f**k**g corrupted that I think there's no way of turning it back around or any opportunity to be corrected is our needless 'Polis Trafik'. The only deed I ever appreciate from the traffic policemen is having those younger ones controlling the traffic at peak and busiest times.
Talking about clean road blocks? Oh, please! Stop me from laughing even harder. It's so sickening to think that they're being trained to talk too much when doing blocks... Come on, just check whatever that's necessary and if any rules or law are violated, just issue the damn summon. Just stop fishing for the ringgits in everyone's wallet. I think these retards can be better salesmen (Oh yeah, it reminded me of one direct-selling company with quite a number of ex-policemen or policemen in the network and worst of all, they think they can 'fight' really well too by intimidating other people or companies like gangsters - I give them a big "L" on my forehead! F*** Off!)
For my recent experience being involved in the accident in early May, (I've so promised myself that I'm going to review your f****ng name in my blog!) one of the many retards, this Rais guy, a don't-know-where-you-learn-driving 'sarjan' from the Serdang/Sri Kembangan traffic police station had arguably questioned my driving technique after being rammed from the back?! I was so gonna tell him straight in the face when I was in his room that he could go back to the jungle and stay with the monyet for not having basic common sense! Of course I didn't coz if I did, I'll never make it to my next plan (friends were waiting for me to go to PD outside the room) instead I'll just sit there and make a big fuss, just like the retard (and of course, I'm not a retard! Lol).
Later in the afternoon on the same day, the workshop people gave me a ring and said that they had "settled" already. And guess what, he asked for money?! And eventually they paid him in order for him to issue a summon to the other party so that I could claim on 3rd party? Is this necessary? Isn't it obvious that there's no need for that? F*** him for creating a mess for me when I really had to rush to somewhere!
If you ask me who will be the first in my mind that I'm going to get rid of if let's say I'm given an opportunity to be in the commission, it would definitely be no other than.....
.....Tan Sri Musa Hassan! Failed his job terribly and perhaps, may even be involved in corruption? Who knows?

Sucky Interviews...
I'm wondering my mind is playing games with me now.
Since the inception of the "newborn", I've not been able to perform well in various job interviews I've been in lately. Okay, may be not really bad but it's been a whirlwind kind of performance. In some part of an interview, when I was about to impress the interviewers, I screwed up with the sequel answers. Frustrating...
First, it was Deloitte and then, BAT (in a way la.... For some, they know what I mean).
Is it because I realised that I'm certainly not the 'employee' type of person? Or I just don't have the speed to adress to questions effectively anymore. I wonder...

Last Sunday, Ren Chang shared with the gang on discovering the top 5 strengths of an individual. For that, we've to answer a 240-question survey which takes about 10-20 minutes to complete, depending on the speed and how much you understand yourself.
If interested, you can register and complete the survey for FREE! Go to:
For AIESEC members and alumni,

For non-AIESEC members,
http://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/Default.aspx
I've done mine and my top 5 strengths as follow:
Your Top Strength
Bravery and valorYou are a courageous person who does not shrink from threat, challenge, difficulty, or pain. You speak up for what is right even if there is opposition. You act on your convictions.
Your Second Strength
Capacity to love and be lovedYou value close relations with others, in particular those in which sharing and caring are reciprocated. The people to whom you feel most close are the same people who feel most close to you.
Your Third Strength
Creativity, ingenuity, and originalityThinking of new ways to do things is a crucial part of who you are. You are never content with doing something the conventional way if a better way is possible.
Your Fourth Strength
Curiosity and interest in the worldYou are curious about everything. You are always asking questions, and you find all subjects and topics fascinating. You like exploration and discovery.
Your Fifth Strength
Hope, optimism, and future-mindednessYou expect the best in the future, and you work to achieve it. You believe that the future is something that you can control.
Shortly after I've shared the outcome with the gang, I received an e-mail from Ren Chang.
Bravery – the description says courages – so I think still fits
And with Hope, Optimism & Future Mindedness as another strength -> so obvious that it’s so you to go into setting up your own business!
The thing which surprises me is “Capacity to love and be loved” – haven’t really seen much of that side of you yet I guess.

A Tribute to A Great Organisation
This posting is a tribute to the great organisation with diversity and great people. Throughout my employment term in HP, I've learned that big companies or MNCs are not that complicated and tough afterall. They don't really give headaches and nightmares (although the customers did...). I've heard concerns of office politics in a huge organisation but I don't see that in HP. People there are really helpful and fun.
Along the way, I made friends with really down-to-earth people who do not treat you only as co-workers but friends who've known for a long time. The sincerity really shows in their eyes when they spend time with you, even during office hours.
Okay...maybe I am naive. Or am I really that naive?...Lol.
Most of all, I'm gonna miss their daily breakfast and free-flow of Milo and tea during the 9 hours in the office. For a person as lazy as me, it feels so good to just press a button and the drink is made readily prepared for you.
I'm also gonna miss the managers and supervisors who're really friendly and always trying to help although they're burdened by hectic work schedules and workloads.
And the bench engineers and coordinators, wish you all the best in your future undertakings and you guys have been great mates!
Special thanks to Mr. YK Tee, he's really a great manager I've ever known who really looks after the welfare of his employee with care. The guidance and assistance shown are deeply appreciated.
I wish I could have written more but I think some things are best to be left in the memory than being bored in words.
Cheers.
Excitement
For the past few weeks, life has become meaningful again along with the whirlwind of ideas and new inputs poured along the way. My brain just can't stop thinking and the feeling of innovation fills myself again, since my early days in AIESEC. Except it's totally different story now, and it's against the cruel world outside.
Never been so intensed before in my life, that I'm reading a lot to gain insights of related issues which I wished to be involved in. Overall, I'm totally opened to new things now. I've never felt like this for a very long time.
Although in dilemma, all choices of path leads to interesting and exciting journey. Just have to choose the most suitable for myself. I'm just so bloody excited!
At least, everything that's happening now makes me feel alive.
* This posting is 'hanging' a bit I know as it's only expressing my feeling right now. But a post of what's actually happening will be published later. So stay tuned.*

Oral Care Day
It's been so long since I drop by at the dental clinic.
Today, with limited choice (after in pain and not being able to sleep due to toothache), I've to call for help from Dr Chuah, the dentist in his clinic opposite Puduraya. Although the clinic looked quite scary from the outside as it is located on the ground floor among the row of old shoplots directly opposite the bus station, going in brought me back the warm feeling of seeing a dentist. He was the only dentist I know who is really caring about his patients where in most cases, dentists tend to have aura that keeps people away, haha (at least for me!) All in all, I like the way he talks throughout the process where it makes one feels comfortable with a dentist.
And seriously, it was really warmly of the visit and this brought me back to the memory when I was last there. I had a surgery to extract my baby tooth. Although it was a surgery, it was really no sweat. Instead of becoming a dentist who is just working on your tooth and that's all, he takes the fear of cutting the gum and drilling the tooth out of you. It has been about 5 years since then. A bit regret for not going to the dentist regularly. Now, I'm in deep trouble.
It took me about an hour to patch two teeth and did root canal on another two teeth. Overall, the process of performing root canal cost me RM1000. Well, I believe, rather than removing the teeth, paying for root canal is more worth it. As money can be earned again, but extracting the tooth will mean permanent loss.
Well, at least Dr Chuah was kind enough to give me discounts where supposedly, the cost will looked like this (standard price set by the dental governing body for private clinics):

Well, at least Dr Chuah was kind enough to give me discounts where supposedly, the cost will looked like this (standard price set by the dental governing body for private clinics):
Root canal (2nd Molar) - RM800 and above
Root canal (1st Molar) - RM600 and above
Patching (2 Teeth) - RM80
Total: RM1480 and above
Yet, he just charged me RM1000 nett. And to my relief, he allowed me payment via installment.
Will have to see him again for another 2 more sessions. Root canal is not done in only one visit where assessment and follow up are required within 4 weeks. Don't mind la... Parking is not a problem, that's what important!
Cheers.
