Bastards!

BASTARDS!!!

Phew, recently d3ric3  hang out with bastards quite often and feel quite reluctant to blog. Hahaha, back to form 6 life style.  A bunch of bastards doing nonsense stuffs. Let's share some bastards things we did in form 6.

d3ric3 still remember in the entire 2 years in form 6, he submitted 2 Pengajian Am's essays and spent the rest of his PA lessons doing graphs. One thing that d3ric3 salutes himself very much is that the first time he saw the last section summary part in PA paper is when he was taking his STPM exam paper, hahaha. That moment in his mind he say to himself "Why is there a summary part exists in PA paper? Isn't it the last part should be graphs instead?".

Almost the whole class contributed ideas for 2 love letters for 2 of the bastard classmates. d3ric3 can't really remembered the exact contents but more or less it sounds like: 

嗨亲爱的XXX妹,

我是6R1的XXX。如果你认识我，我会很开心.不过不认识也没关系因为这封信的用意就是让你更了解我。第一眼看到你，我已发现我不知不觉已深深被你电到。你就像我的黑夜彩虹（刚好那时电视正播着黑夜彩虹）。经过跟朋友一番讨论，我很伤心因为我发现我没任何优点而我的缺点就是我太多优点。 我的爱好是拜六里拜，全职扶啊婆过马路 and blar blar blar..................

When these letters were done, they couldn't believe more that they are actually too talented in writing love letters, hahaha. One of the letter did work out successfully. d3ric3 was wondering how can this could ever happened o.O

These are the talented love letter writers

Being d3ric3's class rap was always the most unlucky person. He will be our target most of the time for "捞机 " session.  During "捞机 " session few guys will incharged to hold the target in a chair. Then the rest will force the target to admit with the statements thrown to him. If the target refused to do so, they will take off his clothes 1 by 1 until he left an underwear.  The process will be recorded with a camera phone and they will always enjoy themselves watching with the video clips especially when the target try to offence to the majority, hahaha.

Bastards, We are the best!!! HoHoHo!

诺言

刚刚从msn传来你的问候,顿时人傻下了。

今天心情很复杂，原因来自家和她。

出去了一天，钱包掉了几百块钱，但心却谈谈的。

安慰的是，俩父子没隔夜仇。

这道理我都懂,不过人总是感情动物难免会伤感。

至于她麻，荣锦都是头脑简单的动物。

假装感觉不到，认真不起来，经历过，顾虑多了。

被喜欢，真的比喜欢人来得少折磨。

可悲的是日久生情，角色调转了。

庆幸的是，这些日子狗友总在身边。

他们不猪啦！

猪朋狗友，他们还不配。

躺在床上，想着想着你对我说过的话。

还记得三年的约定吗？

我等不到了，数着数着，不多也不少这十二月刚刚满三年了！

三年后的今天，你幸福，我从心地为你快乐。

很不幸的是，你竟然让我不小心在msn里出了点气。

呵呵，写着写着，我又笑了~

Jacket

A jacket is what it take to make d3ric3 happy ~

Like the jacket so much!

Hope to have the chance to wear it soon~ hohoho!

Begin, End & Changes

It is approaching the end of my 6 months internship. I believe every begining will be pair with an ending and both of them shared a common element i.e. changes. No matter how an event start and how it end, it really don't make big difference to me because I enjoy the processes most of the time.

Appreciates

1. To have you guys having lunch with me all the time.
   
2. To enjoy, share feelings and learned something in the same company.
   
3. To be able to mix around with new comers, seniors and supervisors all the time.
   
4. To be able to smile when I recall the once in a life time internship for the last 6 months.
   
5. To be able to adopt a quote 都誤知你想點! which means I have no idea what is in your mind.

Before I am suffering from Alzheimer's deasease let me jot down the names of the ppl whose have brighten up my internship.

Izhar, Alif, Karen, Jennifer, Brandon, Sin Sung, Eileen, Eric, Lilian, Gek Teng, Sarina, Jack, Wee Ye, Swee Guan, Jian Wei, Eddie, Suziken, Alan, Lipsu, Rayz, Jenny, Tai Suan, Yik Siew, Chin Kiong, Li, Mas, Ha, Bell, Sylvia, Fiona.

It is blessed to have you all appeared in my internship!

I GET IT CUT AGAIN

Can't recall when I've got the intention to have my hair grow until it reaches my shoulder.

 

Is it during my primary? "No"

Is it during my secondary? "I don't think so"

Is it during my Uni? "Most probably, I guess"

In fact, my hair is like bushes in nature. 

It will cause me alots of time just to make it look abit tidy.

The truth is, I don't like to spend much time on it.

I'm bored with short hair style! 

When I'll able to see myself in the mirror with long hair style???

Not sooner, simply because I just get my hair cut 2 hours ago.

Nevertheless, I'm still looking forward for that day to come... 

before	after

Begining of a Day

When I woke up this morning, I was hesitated to move my body until the phone alarm rang for the second time. The very first thing everyday i wake up is to switch on my laptop screen check on results on my autopiloting MouseHunt :)

Well, the results is expected but I am still looking forward for a Lycan mouse for me to proceed to new hunting area. I made into my car at 7.12am after a simply brush up. Everything seem to be as usual except that my radio was tuned into Hitz Fm.

After listened to JJ and Rudy on how these 2 fellas making fun of a college girl, I shake my head and smile. Pity the girl for trying to explain to the morning crew for not lying to the principle.

A simply smile is the best thing I get for starting my day, I switched to Fly Fm as I hate listening to a game which do not allow the saying of "Yes, No, Emm, Erh", answer the question with a question and pauses. It is kinda irritating for hearing almost same thing every morning.

The Fly FM morning topic for today is "What you would do to reduce the flight ticket?". I shake my head again when some said they will stand for the whole trip just to get a lower price. One of a darling answer I heard was to get ugly steward and stewardess as the flight company can pay lesser for them. Well it is just joking and not humilation. Hopefully they don't get sue for that, I was smiling again:)

When I reached office compound, it was approximately 8.00am. I switch to My FM just to hope for a nice song. I was abit dissapointed when the crews were running the quiz which the accumulated price reaches RM7820. It has been quite sometime that no one is able to get away with the price and I felt quite bored with it too.

A 44 years old bus driver called in for the quiz. This guy made a second attempts to get the answer right for the first question. "He is not going to make it" this is how I feel in that moment. Then he managed to answer the second question, third, fourth, fifth, sixth... When the timing bell rang while the radio crew reading out the final question and he did managed to answer it and even the extra eleventh question as well. I was smiling and this guy deserved it!

I took my breakfast and walked into the office and start writing down my day!
I smile when someone smile. Do you?

Thoughts Sharing - Relationship

If you ever wonder to change yourself for a person.
Think twice, you should change to become a better man and not changing yourself for another person. Unless you're not satisfy with yourself, go ahead and change.


If you're to attract a person's attention by sad stuffs going around yourself.
Think twice, thing which really need one's attention might not appeared what it should be because you're bugging him/her most of the time.


If you're to angry for ignorance.
Think twice, have you fully utilize the divine gives from God to communicate and express your feeling thoroughly to the one who deserve it. You might be getting surprises to have try to express yourself in a different way.




Everyone in this world is not responsible to make your life better but yourself.

Vacation

Year 2008 is reaching it end soon, so do my internship. Just got a request from a friend asking for a vacation after my internship.

Anyone got any idea where is the best place I would have
something as below for an overnight trip:

• delicious food(a must)
  
• swimming pool
• sea
• water fall

Oh ya, I would like to exclude island from being my list of choice.
I don't feel like to go for 2 person trip in an island.

Any suggestion?

回忆里的你

* 是时候回应一位从小一起长大的朋友要求，来一个华文贴 *

回忆里
开心，伤心，闷闷不乐...
都一起度过
顿时
心理有那么一种
得一知己死无遗憾
的感觉
不过
又不能完完全全
地认同这个感觉
如果
现在离开这世界
毫无犹豫
我会很遗憾
因为
老子我活了22年
还没结婚
所以
带着老婆(国产车)
游山戏水
都会格外小心 (^.^)

* 我的华语还OK吧? *

时间一秒一秒不快也不慢地走，
不知不觉死党们都一个接一个慢慢步入社会
看见他们为自己的生活而冲刺，
不禁感觉到他们都在闪闪发光

而我
当然是享受着生活咯
为生活而工作,不为工作而生活
那就是我
所以
不必要时,加班还是算了吧!
除了工作,求学时也是入此 (^.=)

倒数
一个月结束实习
一年完成大学课程
一年半毕业

然后
心情就兴奋起来
原因无他,只是我很肯定
这些日子我会过得很有回忆!
因为
回忆里会有正在读着这篇贴...

MPH Warehouse Sales

Bookstore warehouse sales is always my favourite place to go. When I noticed the warehouse sales located around my office, the plan of visiting there was running in my mind. I will be excited with books as long as it draw my attention to stay couple of minutes on it reading its sypnosis.

Plan can't bring one go any further without any action taken and I am there the next day after being told of the warehouse sales. The place were congested with crowd and it is hot in temperature. After a brief walk around and scanning I realized almost 95% and above of the sales items are fiction reading materials. Gosh, I am wasting my time here. This is my first reaction as I am x a fiction lover.

I did discovered some interesting sketch books, the pictures are sentimental, natural and imaginative in nature. I like sketch books most probably because I read alot of comics during my childhood.

When I was leaving, I found what I am looking for in a little book rack, Oracle Database 10g Express Edition and The Economic Naturalist. If you are not familiar with databases, I will make a simple analog here to let u know databases abit better.

Database as its name implies it is used to stored data like an excel worksheet with colums, rows and sheets(tables in database). There are variety of database and I will be listing 3 of them here which are Microsoft Access, MySQL and Oracle. In order to let you to differenciate them, I will like to analog Microsoft Access to a sport shoes, MySQL to a Toyota Camry and Oracle to a test drive Mercedes-Benz.

If you are in doubt, it is absolutely x your problem because I am begining my explaination here. Let's say you are traveling a 3km distance to reach your destination. You may choose to run with a comfortable sport shoes, drive with a Toyota Camry or perhaps a test drive Mercedes-Benz.

A sport shoes is affortable for most of the users as long as you have Microsoft Office installed in your pc but it has a storage limitation of 20mb for Microsoft Access 2003. As for me, Toyota Camry is MySQL, it is a freeware anyone can download it free from the web. It is similar to my dad's Toyota Camry. I can drive it for free but when it running low of fuel I need to use my own money to fill in the fluel which is analogous to the available consultancy and support services provided by MySQL. I owned an Oracle Express Edition with is similar to a test drive Mercedes-Benz it has all what commercial Oracle database 10g has but I am x affortable to own it but to have a test drive(express edition).

simplified analog:

Microsoft Access
Sport Shoes	Affortable(most of us have Microsoft Office)
MySQL
Toyota Camry	Free usage(my dad's car) Consultancy & support is not free(fuel is not free)
Oracle
Mercedes-Benz	Expensive database, not affortable(test drive)

MouseHunt 2.0

Attention facebook users! Are you spending most of the time in front your pc during office hour? Do you need emotional refreshment for your rotating daily work routine for the past couple of week, month or even year?

Get your dulling day a change by simply add an interesting application MouseHunt 2.0. An application with an 4.9 rating out of 5.0, kinda impressive one! If you are an user which like to get a game started without any reading, here would be a nice place for you to get a big picture what is MouseHunt 2.0 and how to get yourself on track within the shortest time.

As the name implies, MouseHunt 2.0 is a game where the players are given gold and point reward from the king by hunting mouse. You might wondering, what it is so nice with the game which grants a 4.9 rating? Beside gold and point reward, the game developers also giving out cash reward to hunter who successfully caught Leprechaun Mouse and Mobster Mouse through paypal!

If you are playing it solely with the only aim of getting the cash reward. Then you might find it less interesting. One of the interesting part of starting the game is its ability of creating common topic with your friends, colleagues or even hunting pal. Having people sharing the joy and unlucky moment with you will absolutely make big differences.

On the normal circumstances, hunters will check on their traps for mouse or replacing cheese that seem to be stale. If a hunting mate of yours who is hunting in the same location with you sounded a horn, you will be urge to check on the traps. Every subsequent horn has a cool down of 15 minutes before another horn is being sound. A hardworking hunter will be able to check the traps 5 times an hour 4 times through the horns and 1 time through the hourly checking.

There is a virtual world in game, hunters are able to travel and explore new places by the map pieces drop by certain mouse. Variety of trap components and cheese are available in the shops around the virtual world. For those who are x willing to spend plenty of time in a game but hoping for joy it bring, MouseHunt 2.0 is definitely a good choice.

Get yourself more into it with the game's forum for player-player and player-developer interactions. I found an interesting alternative for you to know the game better, check on the link

Special Person

Have you ever have a special person in your life so far? Special might have different value on different people. Well for me, Tunku Abdul Rahman is categorized to be a special person. He is our father of independence. No one else can be honor the title except him. This is how I perceived a special person to be.

Some might found her/his special one and some might not. If you had treasured one, feel free to drop a  "God bless!" or perhaps "Thanks God!" comment. No restriction on the comment, its purpose is just to show your appreciation for the happening.

Personally, I am a person with an alignment of neutral good. I like to share, especially good stuffs and here you go "Thanks God". The special person in my life motivated me to provide a better life to myself and my future spouse. I am much more a better person because of her. 

"Nice show, nice mood"

"I feel the same way too"

"Girl, thanks for inviting me for the show. No doubt both of us were tired but I am glad you feel the same way I do."

Vico Mi Sua

Do you know that Milo is chocolate malt powder which is made from malt? Are you wondering it is the malt which beer where made form? Yeap, it is true indeed! If you are looking for a beer supplement go for a cheaper and nutritious chocolate malt drink. 

As the food price grows and the demand for milo in d3ric3's house is decreasing. d3ric3's mom is replacing Milo with Vico which is the same product in nature but different in brand but is cheaper then Milo. 

On Saturday morning, d3ric3 woke up and prepared a cup of Vico drink. A lazy person do it the lazy way, Vico powder with boiled hot water. When d3ric3 get older, life get more complicated. Breakfast is x longer a meal for filling up the empty stomach. Instead it is a meal for maintaining a body weight similar to what some girl did as diet to keep their body weight as well but with different aims. 

Coincidentally, d3ric3 found a bowl of boiled mi sua (rice made noodle) on the dining table as he seldom look for food on the dining table. d3ric3 is once again following the rule of lazy and pour Vico directly into the bowl consists of mi sua, instead of heating the mi sua in the soup prepared in another bowl on the same table.

So this is d3ric3's Saturday breakfast:

d3ric3's remark: Yiaks, guys don't ever and never try this. It is x worth trying! Trust me!

Eagle Eye

If 5 is the max rating value I'm allow to rate for a movie. Eagle Eye will get a 4.5 from me. It is a Die Hard 4 type of movie and I am sure most of us will find it being an unpredictable one. The only part which I am able to foresee is that Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf, main acter in Transformer) is survived after shot by a person (should be a safety guard, if I'm x mistaken) during a chaos in the pentagon, DC.

X expect story telling from me. If you are looking for something different from what we used to watch normally in cinema, you should go for Eagle Eye. Well, I x hope that u find it less interesting after knowing what it is all about from me as this is what happened to me when I watch Dark Knight.

The only thing I could guarantee you is "X REGRET".

joe-e

As of the the topic, d3ric3 is going to intro this little girl to everyone here. d3ric3 know joe-e for bout 4~5 years. She is a junior of d3ric3 during secondary school in Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sri Sentosa.

She came into d3ric3's life when she handed a donation card to d3ric3's pal which he would be known as 20sen. Bonds between joe-e and d3ric3's pals were formed ever since 20sen gave a RM5.00 donation to joe-e for world-vision charity fund. The history of "RM5.00 for a girl friend" was then popularized among us! joe-e, did you realized this? Perhaps you should know this for quite some time.

joe-e is an active and playful person. She was junior journalist for sin chew. Nevertheless, d3ric3 didn't have chance to read any article from her but to see her appearing in group photo published in sin chew magazine.

d3ric3:

"joe-e ... drop me a comment for this post! This is x a please but it is an order because i can predict x one will comment to this particular post except u. "

Opps, d3ric3 should clarify something before submitting this post. "RM5.00 for a girl friend" does x means what it is from the words itself. Indeed it should be "RM5.00 for a contact number" or even more accurately as "RM5.00 as bait" since the contact number were gained with the the co-operation of all our fellow by partitioning memorizing method on the personal info section on the donation card...haha!

"joe-e, i did x means to humiliate you with a value, haha"

Garden Tracking

Even after spending 2 year plus in Petaling Jaya, it is for the first time d3ric3 felt that there are still lot of places waiting for him to explore. This is because he were taken to a fabulous place where he never expect such place does exists in Petaling Jaya city.

Well, some of you might wondering why the topic sound funny. It is due to the fact that, d3ric3 went to "Taman Bukit Gasing" which means Bukit Gasing Garden in English. In fact d3ric3 would prefer to describe it as a jungle rather then a garden and he guess probably all of you might agree with him after looking @pictures he has taken during garden tracking.

Let's enjoy the pictures

d3ric3 got the feeling of "castle in the desert" when he notice this in the garden

The cute little doggie is Jack. Erm...Jack is a male but he is definately cute =)

During the garden tracking, Sharon was complaining that it is not an easy task for her to get through the bushes and obstacles by giving excuse that her legs are short.

Guess what d3ric3 and his colleagues saw after that?



Direction board to suspension bridge~


They finally reached the suspension bridge after noticed the sign board quite a moment ago(more then an hour, if d3ric3 is not mistaken).

Here they are!

Tiring but a wonderful garden tracking ^.^

Damn Day!

Shit!!! This is the word best describe my day. 

Mood changed after went out of office for lunch break. 

Being souless for one hour plus.

Can't even finish a plate of noodle which I used to like it so much. It seem tasteless!

It is x moody, it is x down, it is x blue ... it is dark sea blue!

Trapped in massive traffic jam. 

Staring at the traffic light, 5 green traffic indications is all I need to leave a spot.

Feel extremely exhausted. Damn day!

Window Live Hotmail

3 days ago d3ric3 received an e-mail from Window Live Hotmail Team. Usually such mail will go into his DELETED folder without any further exploration but it is exception for this time. Guess how they made it? No doubt, it is definately the subject "Coming soon - faster, better Hotmail‏". 

Eventually what happened made me wondering whether I have did a good job for choosing d3ric3 as my blogspot address. "d3ric3, you should not go out of topic." suddenly a sound from no where appeared in my mind.  Opps...

Let's see what they offer this time.

click here for more

After scanned through. These are the points:

• 70% faster transaction speed for broadband users, 56% for narrowband connections
  
• better design 
  
• more cool stuff 

Wow, impressive! Well, bout the transaction speed. It is also applied to pictures loading? kekez

Article Sharing

I discovered this article from the blog of my junior. It is nice-to-read article which attracted me to find it back and share with you guys after reading it for quite some time. Please do not read it during your hectic hours and “gotcha” by your employer, supervisor, professor, teacher as well as CEO (d3ric3 own experience) -.-

On my wedding day, I carried my wife in my arms. The bridal car stopped in front of our one-room flat. My buddies insisted that I carry her out of the car in my arms. So I carried her into our home. She was then plump and shy. I was a strong and happy bridegroom. This was the scene ten years ago.

The following days were as simple as a cup of pure water. We had a kid. I went into business and tried to make more money. When the assets were steadily increasing, the affection between us seemed to ebb.

She was a civil servant. Every morning we left home together and got home almost at the same time. Our kid was studying in a boarding school. Our marriage life seemed to been viably happy. But the calm life was more likely to be affected by unpredictable changes.

Dew came into my life. It was a sunny day. I stood on a spacious balcony. Dew hugged me from behind. My heart once again was immersed in her stream of love. This was the apartment I bought for her. Dew said, you are the kind of man who best draws girls' eyeballs. Her words suddenly reminded me of my wife. When we were just married, my wife said, "Men like you, once successful, will be very attractive to girls."

Thinking of this, I became somewhat hesitant. I knew I had betrayed my wife. But I couldn't help doing so. I moved Dew's hands aside and said, "You go to select some furniture, O.K.? I've got something to do in the company." Obviously she was unhappy, because I had promised to do it together with her.

At the moment, the idea of divorce became clearer in my mind although it used to be something impossible to me. However, I found it rather difficult to tell my wife about it. No matter how mildly I mentioned it to her, she would be deeply hurt.

Honestly, she was a good wife. Every evening she was busy preparing dinner. I was sitting in front of the TV. The dinner was ready soon. Then we watched TV together. Or, I was lounging before the computer, visualizing Dew's body. This was the means of my entertainment.

One day I said to her in a slightly joking way, "Suppose we divorce, what will you do?" She stared at me for a few seconds without a word. Apparently she believed that divorce was something too far away from her. I couldn't imagine how she would react once she got to know I was serious.

When my wife went to my office, Dew had just stepped out. Almost all the staff looked at my wife with a sympathetic eye and tried to hide something while talking to her. She seemed to have got some hint. She gently smiled at my subordinates. But I read some hurt in her eyes.

Once again, Dew said to me, "Divorce her, O.K.? Then we live together." I nodded. I knew I could not hesitate any more.

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; I had lost my heart to a lovely girl called Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, 30% shares of my company and the car. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now. The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.
In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a months time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage. This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request. I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed loudly And thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully. My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed.

So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office. On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her dress. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily. Suddenly it hit me; she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head. Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life.

My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office, jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door.I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind. I walked up stairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, "Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore." She looked at me, astonished. Then touched my forehead. "Do you have a fever?" she said. I moved her hand off my head. "Sorry, Dew," I said. "I won't divorce."

"My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death does us apart." Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote: "I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart." The small details of our lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, the property, the bank balance that matters. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy.

So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage! If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you, but if you do, you just might save a marriage or a relationship.

Relationships are made not to exploit, not to be broken.

We teach some by what we say
We teach some more by what we do
But we teach most by what we are

Welcome

Yesterday night, 19th Sept 08 was a special night. There were 3 visitors who left their foot prints here. In order to bring together all the unique visitors in my blog. d3ric3 have decided to introduce these 3 visitors to all the existing unique visitors.

The first unique visitor was Bobo, Poh Yik. She walked into deric3's life 2 years ago in an ice breaking event organized by Buddha Association, University Malaya. It is so obvious most of us paid attention to her as she is quite a tall girl among the juniors. It is so sad that in these 2 years time, d3ric3 keep calling her with a wrong name. Coincidentally d3ric3 met her during a movie "Don't Mess With The Zohan" and I get to know her name once again. She warned him to remember her name and x to call her with her friend's name anymore else she will kick and ignore him... What a fierce person d3ric3 had ever seen in his life -_-

Let's see who is the next visitor. YooOoO, d3ric3's great pal and course mate Reese, Su Teik. They spent time together in university's campus. Reese is superb in playing basketball. They used to play basketball, having meals, go to warung, make comments about pretty juniors/seniors, do assignments together. He is losing weight during his internship while d3rice is gaining weight during his internship. Perhaps they will reach equivalence in term of weight, that is a great news for both of them, hahahaha. Reese x have any social networking account as such facebook, friendster or even myspace. Well, he is planning to own a blog soon. d3rice is looking forward from him.

Last but x the least, Jacqueline, Kai Mei. A secondary schoolmate of d3ric3. They x know each other well, yet they still got to know each other by their name. She was a quiet person and is currently pursuing biomedical science @ National University of Malaysia, KL branch campus. Hopefully to meet her during visiting on the next coming CNY!

Wall-E

When the first time I saw Wall-E in the cinema screen a year ago, it is confusing me whether the few minutes animation on screen was an advert on keeping the cinema clean or it is actually a movie trailer. As time passes by and the few minutes animation keep on casting every time I went to cinema for movie. Eventually it convinced me that it was an advert.

Surprisingly a year later, Wall-E is on show. The movie don't really attract me as I am a person who don't really prefer animation. Nevertheless, I still end up watching it after getting good comments from friends especially bell. Well, it is also coincidentally i get one to watch with me who drives the plan of watching Wall-E a reality.

The movie is about Wall-E, a robot who was the only one left in the earth cleaning up the rubbish met Eve, probe robot searching for plant on earth. It is mainly revolving between Wall-E and Eve on how they helped human to return to the earth. It is amazing as both of the robots up end loving each other. Perhaps, I shouldn't take it too rationally. Nothing is impossible right who knows in the future we are able to invent such robots.

Hal, the little cockroach in the movie draw my great attention. I really felt sorry for him when he was left alone in the earth and was shocked when he was flatted after Wall-E cross on him for the 2nd time. In the end of the movie, I felt happy for the little cockroach when Wall-E and Eve finally came back to the earth.

On the way exiting the cinema hall, I saw a dying cockroach lying on the ground moving its legs helplessly. It draw attention of most of the people there and we laught unintelligible looking at the little cockroach. From the bottom of my heart, I wish it will survive after the crowd left the narrow corridor. Amen =)

Turning Point

Did anyone agree with me that life is filled with turning points. It is obvious that any one in this world get into new environments. We meet new people, deal with new problems, get to know something new, have our lifestyle changed and one words best describes it, "changes".

There is a proverb in cantonese "Yao Dak Pit Yao Sat" which means when you gain something, you will lost something in exchange. A simple illustration is, you lost a friend when you get engaged. Let's make it clearer for those who is still unable to get the points of the example. In this case, engaged is the turning point and a person lost a friend in exchange for a boy friend/girl friend. Well, you might loss nothing if you get engaged with a person you never know until that day he/she become your partner. If you did, please let me know, I am kinda interested to know how it works out.

Malaysia might having a turning point on 16th Sept 08. Personally, I do not prefer political changes driven by politician themselves. If our ex deputy prime minister do successfully take over the control of the government, the same thing might occurs in the future as well. On the other hand, I do not like the way our prime minister react who keeps on making changes. It tends to unstabilize our economic.

Let's pray for our country for a peaceful day on 16th Sept 08. I would also pray for wonderful day for 17th Sept 08 as a turning point of mine(looking forward) ^.^)/

Internship @Kompakar

d3ric3 as a software engineering undergraduate from University of Malaya is undergoing his internship @Kompakar eHealth Sdn Bhd, http://www.kompakar-ehealth.com/. The duration started @1st June 08 and will be expected to end @31 Nov 08. The main differences between study life and work life is that study life provides challenges and new opportunities to explore while work life provides a steady fixed working time frame (as we trainee are x expected to do OT). I like the challenges but realized that challenges comes with x fixed working time, but as decision making occurs i will still go for challenges and hopefully the working time is x widely fluctuating and this will be a dream job for me ^.^)/

In the office, d3ric3 got to know 1 group of trainees from University Kebangsaan Malaysia. Sarcastically speaking, the best words to discribe them are "Never try, never know". One thing d3ric3 discovered from them is that he used to laught or smile merely listening to their conversations. Well obviously they were x joking but they are just tend to make me laugh...

Let's browse to their respective blog page to get a clearer picture of them
