Perhaps…?

April 11th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in Chronicles

What is a friend?
Perhaps someone to talk to?
Perhaps someone to laugh with?
Perhaps a helper?
Perhaps someone to seek consolation?
Perhaps someone who cares?
Perhaps a rival?
Perhaps someone to quarrel with?
Perhaps someone to compete with?
Perhaps a lover?
Perhaps someone to cherish?
Perhaps someone to treasure?
Perhaps the answer is in us?

PC Fair 2007

April 11th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in Chronicles

entrance
Busy crowds even at the entrance

Ah once again PC fair has come and gone as if it was just yesterday, this year’s fair as usual was held at PISA (Penang International Sports Arena). There was however a significant difference this year, and just when I thought that the PC fair in Penang would never grow, I was proven wrong this year as the fair grew significantly bigger this year.

LCDs!!
Woo… it’s so bright and pretty!

Instead of just stalls in the main arena, there are now stalls lined up along the outer rim of the stadium, where there would normally be some career fair by JobStreet.com or some other mish mash of stalls. This year saw the enforcement of a one way traffic flow just as the KL PC fairs, with one entrance and one exit, forcing visitors to go through all the stalls before exiting the fair. Though one thing I noticed was there were not many stalls selling LCDs, Samsung was not even present, Viewsonic was the only big player present showcasing their latest line of LCDs. Kind of a disappointment for me as I was hoping to scout out some LCD prices. I was able to scout for digital camera prices though as Lam Loong and Olympus was present. There was quite a deal for the Olympus u770, at RM1599 and several free gifts that consisted of a 1gb memory card, additional battery, tripod, umbrella, carrying case, looks like I’ll have to start saving and wait for the next PC fair to get this heavy duty and adventurous camera.

Surprisingly though the crowd this year was not as big as I remembered, maybe it’s cause of the expansion to the outer rim that spread out the crowd, well that’s good news as it doesn’t fell like a sardin can which is a major put off for PC fair goers. Well I hope to see the fair keep growing and hopefully some big names will come in, especially game companies like Gamefliers to come spice things up a bit with their games and collectibles and of course magazines like GameAxis to offer their subscription offers to us Penangites and not just concentrate on KL only. Here’s looking out for the next PC fair for more great deals and offers, till then remember to start saving some cash to spend at the fair!

By fate we met
By choice we became friends
By words we were occupied
By thoughts we understood each other
By laughing we cheered each other up
By caring our friendship grew deeper
By heart our souls became as one
By time we are now parting
By luck we shall meet again
By love I’m sure we will
By then we shall be reunited

Sun, Beach, Girl(s) - Day 2

The pearl of the island

Ah finally day two has arrived, with breakfast served at 7am and the first snorkeling trip of the day at 9am, there’s just no time for me to sleep in late, instead I had to wake up even earlier than on normal working days. Some holiday huh, but surprisingly I did not feel all that tired or sleepy waking up at this early hour, maybe it’s just the excitement of being on holiday fueling my mind and body. Well anyway, I set my alarm to 6am last night, and sure enough it rang, but I shut it up a few times until it was nearly 6:30am when I finally dragged myself out of bed and hit the shower before the others woke up and made a line. After taking a shower I went out and just strolled around the area, enjoying the morning breeze and the sights, beaches are always so calming, with the waves coming in, hitting the white sandy beach, it just makes you feel so relaxed and easy going.

Bon Jovi - Livin’ On A Prayer

April 5th, 2007 | 2 Comments | Posted in Chronicles, English Songs

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union’s been on strike
He’s down on his luck…it’s tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

She says we’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
‘Cause it doesn’t make a difference
If we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot
For love - we’ll give it a shot

[Chorus:]
Whooah, we’re half way there
Livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it - I swear
Livin’ on a prayer

Tommy’s got his six string in hock
Now he’s holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it’s tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers baby it’s okay, someday

We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
‘Cause it doesn’t make a difference
If we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot
For love - we’ll give it a shot

[Chorus]

We’ve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it’s all that you’ve got

[Chorus]

Bomb on the bridge!!

April 5th, 2007 | 4 Comments | Posted in Chronicles

Bombings happening everywhere in the world, terrorists on the rise, the feeling of security and safety of traveling eroding. US has seen the most devastation with the destruction of the World Trade Centre, Thailand had it’s fair share of bombings, is Malaysia next on the map for bombings? Well it could be likely, what with the massive jam on the Penang Bridge just yesterday with the fear of a bomb sighting on the bridge. Yes your little Pearl of The Orient has just got it’s share of bombing ‘action’ even if it was a hoax, or perhaps a preemptive scouting routine of terrorists to do some serious damage? Whatever the case is, I really hope the authorities will be on their toes and stay alert of the security of the state and country, the last thing we need is seeing one of our landmarks get demolished by explosives. Now let us all pray the madness stops with yesterday’s hoax on the bridge.

For a full coverage of yesterday’s incident head on over to The Star right now!

Siapa (feat. 谢婉婷)

曲:温力铭 词:温力铭/张鳗鱼

Siapa 是你吗? 到底谁会疼爱我啦 为什么我一个
Mengapa Dimana 是否爱会存在的啊 Siapa disana

知不知道当你还没来到这世界的时候
舅舅跟你妈妈 天天都吵架 恨她 恨他
因为每天都让家里很多烦脑
没有一天好 婆婆天天都睡不好

睡不到 因为担心你妈妈 我的姐姐会出事
会搞出很糟糕的事
婆婆天天怕 家里天天骂
没有一天好 希望有一天吧

到了今天你来这世界 我们的生活变了 变了
更多火花 更多灿烂的火花
是因为你的笑容 是因为你带来希望
给了我们全家人知道 不要放弃不要逃避

我的姐姐就是你的妈妈
我的妈妈就是你的外婆你知道吗
就等于你是我的家人等于我家人
就等于我们一起走未来的路 好吗 好吗

Siapa 是你吗? 到底谁会疼爱我啦 为什么我一个
Mengapa Dimana 是否爱会存在的啊 Siapa disana

一天一天我们看着你慢慢的长大
你已经开始会讲话 有时候很不听话
哈哈 你这坏蛋有时候会讲笑话 真的没办法 真的没办法
我在想你以后会不会也是这样的开心
我很担心你以后会不会做工不专心
我很怕你以后没有人照顾那真的不行
所以你一定要学会独立照顾自己 知道吗

现在婆婆和妈妈一直担心你
放了全部时间和希望 为你了
所以不用怕 不要失望如果同学们欺负你说你没有爸爸 算什么
最重要你现在有很疼你的外公外婆妈妈舅舅 那就够了
慢慢来慢慢学要乖噢 不要学坏那就已经够了
那就已经让我们骄傲了 听到吗

Siapa 是你吗? 到底谁会疼爱我啦 为什么我一个
Mengapa Dimana 是否爱会存在的啊 Siapa disana

单亲妈妈请你不要放弃 人生也许捱不下去 日子每天都有新的惊喜
为了孩子要努力活下去

单亲妈妈请你不要放弃 人生也许捱不过去 有我们陪你走下去

Siapa 是你吗? 到底谁会疼爱我啦 为什么我一个
Mengapa Dimana 是否爱会存在的啊 Siapa disana

Billie Myers - Kiss The Rain

April 4th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in English Songs

Hello…
Can you hear me
Am I getting through to you

Hello…
Is it late there
Is there laughter on the line
Are you sure youre there alone
Cuz im
Trying to explain
Somethings wrong
You just dont sound the same

Why dont you
Why dont you
Go outside
Go outside

Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever Im gone too long
If your lips feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
Were under the same sky
And the nights
As empty for me as for you
If you feel
You cant wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain

Hello…
Do you miss me
I hear you say you do
But not the way Im missing you

Whats new
Hows the weather
Is it stormy where you are
You sound so close but it feels like youre so far
Oh would it mean anything
If you knew
What Im left imagining
In my mind
My mind
Would you go
Would you go

Kiss the rain

As you fall
Over me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me
Only me
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever Im gone too long
If your lips
Feel hungry and tempted
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
Were under the same sky
And the nights
As empty for me as for you
If you feel you cant wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain

(kiss the rain)
(kiss the rain)
(kiss the rain)

Hello…
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Can you hear me

I’m back!

April 3rd, 2007 | 4 Comments | Posted in Chronicles

I’m back! I’m back! Yes I’ve survived scorching sunshine, nausea inducing waves and the unknowns of the deep blue seas. Yes it was a fantastic adventure over the clear blue seas. Well it’s not exactly Pirates of the Carribean kind of adventure, and no there was no Kraken or mutilated fish men from Davy Jones ship. It was just a simple 3 days 2 nights stay at Redang Island off the coast of Terengganu. It’s been ages since I had plans to visit this island getaway, since my uni days actually, never came to be until now, well better late than never I suppose.
