From China with Love

I have not been updating my blogs for a very very very........... long time. Alot of things has happened in my life, all good things, thank god. I must say, ever since I attended the AsiaWork workshop, I have changed alot, in terms of thinking and how I look at things, of course. And I am happy with the changes.

Anyway, some update from my side, since my MIA from 27th April 2007, as blogger.com as recorded. Well, Soon after my "official wedding" and honeymoon in Bali, Indonesia, I have moved out from my parents' place. First time in my life, I actually feel independent. And to me, it is a good thing. It gave me more room to expand my self, a new horizon to life.

I moved out from parents to the company house, as one of the first batch to accept this new benefits from the company, also as lead the initiative. I was basically incharged of renting, monitoring, purchasing and all pertaining to the company rented houses. The company rented 4 houses. I tell you, it is no fun dealing with real-estate agents.

I stayed in the company house for few months. And, the company send me to Suzhou, China, to run the Suzhou office. It was a big decision, the turning poit in my life. I am lucky and thankful that my wife supported my decision. Anyway, it is a chance of a life time to escape from Malaysia, and see the world. So here I am, ended up in Suzhou, China.

Attending the launching of SSH

For the first time, I wasted half of my passport in just 2 months, and I always complained that my passport looks empty. :P Anyway, I do realized now that frequent flying is not as fun as I thought to be. But, I have accepted it as the price I have to pay, and I am happy with it.

I am in peace; I see more clearly; I know where I am headin; I know what I am doing; I know who I am.

I will be updating my blogs more frequent now, as I have finally found time for myself.

Are you a nerd??

Should I be glad that I am nerdier than I thought, or should I be sad to be such a nerd? To be or not to be, that is the question.

What is the difference anyway? Nerd or not, we are all still human being. Mortal being.


We Are The World Lyrics
» Michael Jackson

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
and its time to lend a hand to life
There greatest gift of all

We cant go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of Gods great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres a choice we're making
We're saving out own lives
its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to brend
So we all must lend a helping hand

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres a choice we're making
We're saving out own lives
its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe theres no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres a choice we're making
We're saving out own lives
its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

The Last Weekends In The Land of The Free and Home of The Brave.

Have had a very very tiring weekends. Till now I can still feel the aching muscles and feets. And yet, this is the weekends which I had travel the most in the States.

Saturday itinary:
Irvine -(2 buses)- Laguna Beach -(2 buses + about 2 hours walk) - Fountain valley - (1 bus) - Costa Mesa - (1 bus + almost lost looking for correct bus stop) - Irvine

Sunday itinary:
Palm Spring (1 and half hours drive) - Dinner at Spectrum

Pictures speak louder than words..

~Sartuday, morning, Laguna Beach

Laguna Main Beach

Notice the foggy beach? This only happen when season changes from spring to summer

The Pacific Ocean, big ocean

What is he trying to do? burrying himself?

Now thats the real "Bay Watch"

~Noon until evening, Fountain Valley, Fry's Electronic

Sorry no picture.

Took 2 buses and walked for 2 hours under the hot sun with temperature up to 90+ degrees Fahrenheit (record high in California) to reached Fry's. But the worst part was running here and there finding the correct bus stop to change bus. And you know what, the last bus service on a saturday is at 5:45pm.

Sun burned arm

And this is the result.... Dehydrated and burned..

~Evening, Irvine Spectrum

This is the nearest shopping center to my hotel. Been there so many times, but this is the first time I took some pictures.

Spectrum

~Sunday, Palm Spring, somewhere in the desert

This place is even worst, 114 degrees fahrenheit (It is hot, very very hot. Believe me). That is about 46 degrees celcius.

3rd Week in Irvine California, USA and having fun

This is the 2nd time I visited Universal Studios, Hollywood. The first time was 6 years ago. The different this time is that, I am with friends and colleagues, The last time was with family.

This time round, well, thou I have had fun, it was just like last time, too many things to see and try but too little time. Actually, this time, I actually see less thing. Mostly because we started the day late, and we had to leave early. Well, it was sunday, and all of us need to work the next day.

Only now I truly realised the power of currency rate, and I truly understand how difficult it was then during my last trip. My father must have spend alot then. I feel so guilty. I was so naive then..

Some of the experience:
1. Get soaking wet watching the water world live show.
2. Queue up 35 min for a 2 min "The Mummy Return" ride.
3. Experience earthquake, King Kong attack, Mummy's curse all in one day.
4. Get to see the most famous time machine in the world, the DeLorean.
5. Met spiderman running arround, Van Helsing, Dr. Brown, Spongebob and many more.
6. Have fun seeing all those familiar sight from the movie.
7. Feel the chilling cold wind that will dry your soaking wet clothes from the water world show.

Right... here you are, some of the fantastic pictures I took..

Anyway, the photos are taken from last sunday's (Mothers' day) visit to San Diego. Sadly to say, I wasn't able to be with my mom to celebrate the mothers' day. As what my aunte Bibi says about son who donot spend the day with the mother on mothers' day, he is worthless. Hahaha, well I guess I am worthless. Well perhaps I am worth some value with Kai Lee.. hehe my fiancee.

1st Week in Irvine California, USA

I am on a mission to get more money for the company in Irvine, south California, USA. Ha Ha Ha.. just kidding.. Me and my colleague are working on a project at the client site. Well, I am lucky for being picked for the project.. :D

I received some comment complaining me for not updating my blog frequent enough, so now you know why... :P

South California is a very nice place.. But of all the seasons why must it have to be at the end of spring???!?!?! I hate warm climate... Luckily, it wasn't as warm as what we have in Malaysia... occasionally, the light breeze of fresh "*air" are really cooling. *Depending on the pollusion level and traffic*

Alright.. Here are some of the photos captured during the week.. Too little?? Well, this is only the first week.. There will be more coming in, you bet!

A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well. In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil.

How Evil Are You?
