have a great weekend

long live king kev!

2008-01-18T00:20:00.000+08:00

the messiah has returned for the third time!

i couldn't believe it when i read the news, kevin keegan is going back to manage newcastle!

the year was 1996, my beloved geordies were leading the scum utd by 12 points in the premiership but we threw it away...

that was the closest us long suffering newcastle fans have ever been to tasting any success for decades, and we let it slip through our fingers. i still remember the epic 4-3 defeats to liverpool, the gung ho attacking philosophy of just-score-more-than-them-football, it was both great and sad being a newcastle fan

now that king kev is back, will it bring back the glory days? its still too early to judge, but at least we know he will put out a team that attacks, i'd rather lose 4-3 then go down 1-0! in any sense, we could lead by 4 goals and let in 3!

and yet the gulf between the top 4 and the rest of the league is too far that it's virtualy impossible for any team outside the top 4 to win the premiership! being a newcastle manager has been like a curse, look at how many managers we have lost in the last 11 years.

let the most important thing is win the crowd (kinda like the gladiator) and you will keep your job. just win one trophy, ANY trophy and you can keep you job longer

king kev is back, and i love it!!!!

blueberry pies, self rolled cigarettes and sobriety chips

2008-01-13T23:47:00.000+08:00

so i finally watched my blueberry nights with jasmine, karlindi and steven

so what do i think about the movie? just like the blueberry pie, i think its great to have a slice or two of wong kar wai's movie every now and then, and it does go well with ice cream...

i've always been a fan, i think i watch most of all his movies, except fallen angels. looking at the great cast kar wai had with this movie, i thought i should support his first english movie and i was not disappointed

i think kar wai maintained his usual great cinematography and use of colors and frames. anyone who has watched his earlier films would feel well at ease, sorta like meeting and old friend and know exactly what to expect from his stories of the past

the first impression that the movie was strangely similar to chungking express. it had a diner/cafe, a regular that kept ordering the same food, the same philosophy about life and food, a heroine who wanted to go somewhere far away leaving the hero grasping at thin air all of a sudden...

even the characters name and occupation come from his old movies. a cop (tony leung in chungking express), sue lynn (maggie cheung in in the mood for love), a singer in real life playing the heroine (faye wong in chungking express)...

at the end of the show, his fans would think it was a rojak of all his previous movie and would be fun to identify all the character. for those who are new to wong kar wai, i think my blueberry nights would be a great intro his movies

essentially, all kar wai's movies are centered along the relationships between people, don't let the beautiful screen shots fool you...

in the movie, norah jones said "she took the longest way to cross the street", having unable to let go of her old love. are we all taking the longest way to cross the street?

friday nite

2008-01-11T23:33:00.000+08:00

since a dinner plan did not go thru, i decided to cook my own meal. yes, i'm ashamed to admit but its been too long since i really did cook. it's just too convenient here to just takeway food or eat outside, which could really explain my round face and even rounder belly...

so i thought, lets cook some easy pasta. went down to the nearby super market and bought some spaghetti, mushrooms, bacon, baby corn (they were on sale), mushroom cream sauce, olive oil, and a garlic. i reached home, poured myself a glass of asahi super dry beer (just like they do on the TV, but i ran out of wine) and just started cooking.

it was alot of work, but i was happy with the result. it was a tad too salty with the bacon and probably a little bit too much sauce, which happens when you don't cook too often...

so there i was eating my own home cook meal and watching discovery travel and adventure. i saw the take home chef, which is kinda cool. basically this guy approaches women shopping for groceries and then offers to follow them back and cook for them.

what followed later was nigella feast, and i must admit, i was glued to the tv. i remembered watching her on tv many years ago and i was instantly hooked. apart from her very well endowed upper body, she is so sexy! the way she describes her food, using words like luscious, beautiful, huge, colorful, fresh, with her posh british accent, really does it for me. i wonder if she is so talkative in bed?....

sex and politics

2008-01-03T22:18:00.000+08:00

so what do you know, 2008 started with a bang (pardon the pun) in Malaysia

our health minister, Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek was caught with his pants down, having sex with a "personal friend" in a sex DVD. He promptly resigned from all his posts today

having seen the worst of the worst politicians squirm and hang on to their posts through major scandals, i must salute Dr Chua, at least there is someone in the Abdullah administration that has BALLS (in every sense), to own up and resign

there are some interesting lessons to be learned from this episode however

dr chua said : "My biggest mistake was that I stayed in the hotel and in the same room for convenience. Next time, when you stay in a hotel, good luck to you."

lesson : if you gonna have an affair, always go to a different hotel, and don't be predictable

dr chua said:" Well, after I made the confession, I hoped Malaysians would be able to accept my apology. But unfortunately, based on the feedback that I have received, I observed that Malaysians were unable to do that. Some Malaysians can be said to be “holier than thou”." what a load of crap!

its not that most malaysians are "holier than thou", its because the subject of the matter is the Health Minister of Malaysia! if it were any 61 year old uncle having sex with a 30+ year old women in some luxury hotel in batu pahat , do you think anyone would give a shit? it's because as a political leader, you have lost your credibility, and credibility is all that matters. would you vote for a roving, randy 61 year old? come to think of it, we have some political leaders who have NEGATIVE credibility, and yet they are still hanging around. tough luck, dr chua

lesson : when caught out, do what any malaysian politician would do, DENY EVERYTHING. he could have just resigned and cited health problems and nobody would know. i guess his plan backfired, he probably taught he could own up and still hang on his posts, fat hopes!

it could well be that this was a trap set up by dr chua's political enemies. i have not viewed the video (nor do i have an interest in watching a 61-year-old doing the dirty deed), but it has been suggested that the "personal friend" was more like a "pay-me-money-i'll-be-your-friend-tonight" kinda friend. and consider the timing of the dvd release, just ahead of the malaysian general election, something does SMELL FISHY eh?

lesson: the good old keep you friends close, keep your enemies closer.

sex and politics has always been a potent mix, one invariably leads to the other and most of the time leads to the downfall as well

p/s. i wonder if Dr Chua used a condom, if he did, at least he could say that he was promoting safe sex!

project makeover

2008-01-02T23:40:00.000+08:00

so here goes for 2008 - resolution 1 - makeover

i just had a windfall of HKD4,000 and since it was unexpected (don't ask , i will use the money for a makeover

i plan to do the following:

1. tailor a nice suit
2. take some cool profile shots (better now or never) by a professional photographer
3. seek professional treatment for my dark circles
4. sign up for a slimming package to reduce my belly and hit the gym to maintain
5. maybe a new watch if i can sneak it in

i already have a new hairstyle, a new pair of specs and the coolest gadget in the world - the iphone

i'll update you on how far the HKD4,000 stretches and i'm open for new ideas, comments...

another year

2008-01-01T14:58:00.000+08:00

happy new year and welcome to 2008

another year has passed by and I can't believe 2007 went by so quickly. its good to look back and reflect on the year that was

2007 was a turbulent year for me. moving to a new city, a new job, made a bad investment, losing the love of my life after 7 long years and starting a new life all over again wasn't easy (it's still tough)

i was lucky to have a great family and a bunch of good friends (old and new) to help me through these trying times. maybe it is true, you only truly appreciate things that you have lost

during the last 7 months in hong kong i had plenty of time to reflect on what happened in my past few years. i could have done many things better, in terms of personal, relationship, financial and career development. but what has happened has happened. in a Wong Kar Wai movie, there is a quote, loosely translated as " we humans are so troubled by the past because we have such a good memory ".

my greatest regret was the ending of my relationship with my love. its been a year since my breakup, and it has taken me just as long to recover. there's really no point of discussing whose fault it was, and probably in retrospect, we did take each other for granted. my heart still aches when i see familiar scene, smell a distinct fragrance or hear a unique laughter that reminds me of her. i'm trying really hard to not think of the past and move forward, but i don't know if i could ever love someone as deep again. if you are reading this, i am truly sorry for the hurt i caused, you will always have a special place in my heart

being alone in hong kong has also made me more independent. though i appreciate my alone time, its kinda lonely when you have no one to connect with. during my 1 week x'mas break back in malaysia, i truly comprehended the importance of connecting with people (not a nokia ad).

so look around youselves, appreciate the loved ones/friends/family around you. accept them as they are, as they have accepted you as who you are, and show them you love them

may you have a happy love filled new year...

Lan Kwai Fong Festival

2007-07-31T00:33:00.000+08:00

been pretty busy the last few weeks, finally had time to update the blog

anyway, last saturday I managed to go to the annual LKF festival, as you can see from the 2 smashing models:

okay not the above 2, but these 2:

we proceeded to a bakery, no really, a bakery called La Barguet which served reasonalby priced Hoegaarden beer at HKD46 per pint, thats 500ml.

Check out the beet to human ratio:

"mom, i'm scared!"

of course there were also some really hot beer babes:

and happy drunk people

scenes from outside

of course there was a street dancing

and i went to check out what it was all about, and i was sorry i went there

eewwww.... almost vomitted all my beer.... and not from beeing drunk

on positive note, had my picture taken with homer and bart simpson. bossini had a promotion where you buy a simpsons t-shirt (HKD49) and you get to take a picture with homer and bart for free

beach day

2007-07-16T00:57:00.000+08:00

finally went to the beach yesterday!

since meng yip came to hong kong for a conference and extended his stay, i thought it was a good idea to finally go to the beach, which i had wanted to go for weeks

it so happened to be the warmest day of the year, which it was. kara, law, meng yip and myself took a trip to repulse bay, which is on the south side of the hong kong island

reached the beach at about 4pm and it was already crowded. plonked our stuff down, slap on some some block and of course, rented 2 big umbrellas, and off we went.

had a great time, though i think my back is hurting from some sun burn, hahahah

the hong kong peopel really love the beach, and the bikini was the standard outfit for most gals, really a feast for the eyes! the water was not really pristine, but overall it was bearable. can't wait to go visit the other beaches around hong kong...

The Four Hour Workweek

2007-07-11T00:08:00.000+08:00

I've been reading a bit more than I did before I came to Hong Kong, and I think its a good thing. Sometimes being alone in a big city allows one to spend more quite time and reflect.

Anyway, I picked up this book, The 4-Hour Workweek and I must say it is revolutionary. I've read plenty of reviews on this book and decided to give it a read and I was impressed. The book basically explains that we do not have to follow the tried and tested life path of study/work/retire/travel. It takes a very radical approach, as you can see from the title, on how he pushes the limit on work and life.

Working in a professional firm or having friends working in a professional firm, you would appreciate that its almost impossible to even get a 40 hour workweek, the figure is most likely to be a 60 or something like a mind boggling 80 hour workweek during the busy season. So what have I got to lose even if I can shave a few hours of work and a bit more life?

So before I step into an in depth review of the book, consider the following:

Do you want to work for yourself or have others working for you?
Do you want to work when you want to or just to work the minimum to produce maximum results?
Do you want to retire early or have mini retirements throughout life on a regular basis?
Do you want to buy all the things you want or do all the things you want to do and be all the things you want to be (this includes owning the thing that you want)?
Do you want to be a boss or the owner that lets the boss runs his business?
Do you want to make a ton of money or make a ton of money with specific reasons, dreams, ambitions?
Do you want to have more or have more quality in life?
Do you want to have a jackpot or have cash flow coming in everyday on autopilot?
Do you want to have freedom from doing what you dislike or having the freedom from doing what you dislike and also the freedom to do what you like without reverting to work for work's sake?

have a think about it, more to follow

cashback

2007-07-02T23:27:00.000+08:00

just finished watching the movie cashback with kara, and in line with my new motto of don't wait, just do it, i had to blog about it before i forget/delay/never get around doing it.

The synopsis from wikipedia:

"After a painful break up with his first girlfriend Suzy, Ben, an aspiring artist, develops insomnia. To take his mind off his problem he spends his nights working at a local supermarket, where he meets colorful characters. He falls in love with his colleague Sharon.

He lets his imagination run wild. In particular, he imagines that he can stop time for others, so that he can walk around in a world that is "frozen" like in pause mode of a film. He imagines Sharon and female clients standing naked in the supermarket, so that he can watch and draw them.

We see in flashback, with Ben's voice-over explaining how he always has been impressed by the beauty of the female body, how he, as a young boy, could see a Swedish boarder naked while she was going to and coming from the shower; being Swedish she did not believe this situation required modesty. Also we see little Ben's friend Sean Higgins showing Ben his parents' adult magazines. Furthermore we see Ben paying a girl for showing him her genitals.

Sharon is Ben's date when they go the birthday party of their boss. Ben meets Suzy who wants to continue their relationship. Ben refuses, but Sharon gets a negative impression seeing Ben with Suzy for a moment, and gets angry.

As a practical joke colleagues Barry and Matt phone him, one of them pretending to be an art gallery owner who is interested in his drawings, and an appointment is made. It turns out well: the gallery owner, seeing Ben's work, is interested, and an exhibition follows. Sharon also visits it and is impressed not only by Ben's success, but also by the many paintings portraying her; she is not angry anymore."

The original movie was actually a short film that won numerous awards. The full feature film includes the 18 minute Oscar-nominated short film of the same title.

Watching the film actually made me think of the subtle messages within the movie.

In one scene, we see Sharon desperately trying to avoid watching her watch/clock. It is said the more you watch time past, the longer it takes. I can certainly vouch for that. Any thoughts?

I also reflected on how Ben on his colleagues tried to distract themselves over their 8 hour shift, as though they were trapped within their job/work hour. It made me think, do I want to work in this line for the next 10, 20 years of my life? Can I keep on doing what I'm doing? The answer is a resounding no, and I have got to get out as soon as I can.

one of the memorable quotes i like from the movie :

"Once upon a time, I wanted to know what love was. You just have to see that it's wrapped in beauty and hidden away in between the seconds of your life. If you don't stop for a minute, you might miss it."

Think about the above phrase. Are we too busy with our work to neglect the people around you? Are we chasing love and yet be unaware that it is always around us? Are we moving too fast and chasing life when life quietly passes by?

Ben said in the movie that he could stop time, pause time and even fast forward time. But what he cannot do was to reverse time correct what he did wrong.

I've always thought of what I would do if I could reverse time, to go back in time and change the past, to undo the things I did wrong, to make better choices. I’m sure you have too. We all have our own regrets, big or small.

In truth, we cannot go back in time to change the past. What we have is hindsight. We can only learn from our mistakes and move forward. Everything we are today is a product of some mistake we did in the past. The choice to linger on the past or to move on is entirely up to you.

Reflect, learn and improve. That’s all we can do...

things you must know about hong kong

2007-06-29T00:00:00.000+08:00

dear all, if you plan to come to hong kong for work/travel, there a few things you must know:

1. if you have a hsbc credit card, you must bring it to hk. there are just so many outlets giving discounts specifically for hsbc credit card. don't leave home without it, or is that ad for american express? as a matter of fact, bring a few card. if you like to shop, hong kong is the shopping heaven for you!

2. once you reach hong kong, definitely get the octopus card. there are fantastic deals at the airport express where you get a unlimited mtr rides for 3 days and 2 single journeys for HKD300. check it out here. Any unspent value is refunded along with the HKD50 deposit, minus HKD7 handling fees if you surrender the card in less than 3 months. but overall, all your fares are cheaper than paying cash each time. you can reload/pay in all Circle K, 7-11, MTR stations and most grocery shops like Wellcome and Park and Save. i say keep the card, you could be back in hk very soon!

3. bring a pair of good shoes and be prepared to walk! everybody walks in HK, especially tourists! better still, wear a pair of old shoes, drop by "sneaker street" in mong kok and pickup a pair of sneakers and give your old pair to the nice lady picking up garbage by the street. be sneaker neutral!

4. if you are here long term / working in hk, be prepared to prepay everything! your rent is 2 months deposit + 1 month current, mobile phone charges are prepaid 24 months in advance (if you signup with a plan), your gym membership is prepaid, so is your broadband/cable tv services. i don't quite like the way this is done, but when in rome, do what the romans do!

5. be prepared for the space shock. most shops, apartments and hotels are pretty small. especially your local diners. you would most likely share small table with 3-4 strangers, and somemore breathing down your neck waiting for your seat during lunch. haahahah

6. food is rather expensive at first glance. a simple mcdonalds value meal could set you back HKD25, about the same price of a char siew rice and a drink at a small diner. you could still find bargains of HKD10 buck wan tan noodles, so be wise. but please remember, don't convert to your local currency, if not you wont eat anything all day!

so much for this post, i welcome any more insights. please leave it in the comments and i will put it in my next post.

2007-06-27T23:38:00.000+08:00

nothing is permanent

2007-06-25T22:58:00.001+08:00

i was saddened recently with some sports news...

thiery henry, the arsenal superstar forward would be leaving to join barcelona. although this is the worse kept secret for over a year, it was still the worse news for any arsenal supporter

though i'm a die hard newcastle united fan, i have always loved to watch arsene wenger's arsenal. they play beautiful, fast paced attacking football and any neutral fan would agree they are a joy to watch. with henry leading the line, you would always get goals, and most of the times, spectacular goals..

henry has always said he will be a gunner for life, and despite his departure, i believe him. he is an honest, decent bloke and he explained clearly why he left. first viera was sold, then arsenal moved to the new stadium which limited their transfer budget. though henry was made captain, he was too moody to lead the line from the front. then david dein left and arsene will not renew his contract with arsenal after next season. being 29 years old, it was now or never...

i think his departure will be a great loss for arsenal, and from the looks of it, the club is in danger of a free fall. i certainly hope they don't self destruct, i'd watch them play anyday over the other big 3 clubs. it's also a loss to the english premier league, losing one its brightest star, and dare i say their best ever player...

with the spanish league starting in an ungodly hour of 3 am HK/Malaysian time, i won't be able to watch much of henry's live action

the good thing is, barcelona is coming to HK to play a friendly game and they promise all their stars will come! i better get the tickets, this would probably the best chance of seeing him play live...

like i said, nothing is permanent anymore, the only thing that is permanent is... change

take a good look at yourself and your life and reflect

are you being the best that you can be? are you neglecting the people around you? have you said "i love you" to your family and loved ones? don't wait, just do it...

au revoir monsieur henry...

Happy Birthday to myself...

2007-06-25T00:38:00.000+08:00

so there it was, my 29th birthday has came and now i'm officially 29 years and 1 day old...

i guess nothing quite makes you feel your age, when you are at the end of your 20's...
though i don't feel old (i have ppl still saying that I look 24, haha), a few gray hair here and there does remind you time waits for no one....

listening to the robert kiyosaki podcast, it suddenly reminded me of my time in melbourne when i picked up his best seller, rich dad poor dad. the book had a profound effect on me, and changed the way i viewed life and money. though i did try to implement some of his teachings, it was more a half hearted attempt to truly go all the way. i have not achieved the financial freedom i strived to achieve, but things will change from today onwards... more on this later...

anyway i had a great housewarming cum birthday party. we had take out pizza, kfc and started juicing! all because i had a kick-ass juicer..

later, we played twister and all sorts of drinking game, which was great fun as well

the party ended around 3 am, and I hope i don't get any complaints as it was crazy loud, hahaha

my thanks to all my frens, old and new, who came to my party with well wishes and gifts. special thanks to grace, law and kara for the lovely PSP!

here are some of the pics:

the afternoon before the party, met up with a guy to purchase his gym membership. nice kiwi by the name of Mark Wilson, and just knew him over the internet. he is a teacher and after 9 months into his job in hong kong, he is going to travel to africa and then to japan to do some charity work. tom, a colleague told me that his gf took out a huge loan and will spend a good half a year travelling the world. the bank approved her loan as she will be starting work with a very nice remuneration package.

this got me thinking. though its not new, it seems some westerners who were lucky enough will either travel the world right after graduating, or some of them will just take 1 year off their working life and do so.

such an idea will seem unbelievable in an asian society, though i hope the mentality will change. most of us stick to a life laid out by our parents / society, which follows the path of study>work>getmarried>family>retirement>TRAVEL

sound familiar? thats why most travel agencies cater for the retirees to go travel, because that is the only time they get to travel!

personally i feel blessed and thankful of having the chance to travel to many parts of south east asia, australia (where i studied) and parts of europe. now that i'm working in hong kong, i find it easier to relate to other people from different parts of the world and share their ideas. traveling opens your minds and widens your horizon.

so if possible, i would encourage everyone to strive to travel a little bit every year. go to new places, make new friends, learn their culture. don't just be a typical tourist that visits all the must-go's, buy souvenirs and leaves with memory cards full of pictures.

i know its ideal, and i do know that people have hectic schedules that they can't leave their jobs. my advice is this, you are not the whole company/business, don't give yourself so much credit. the company will still be around when you come back in a weeks time, if it's not, you probably should have left earlier, am i right?

2 weeks in Hong Kong

2007-05-26T15:52:00.000+08:00

Its been 2 weeks and change since I arrive in Hong Kong.

Went to Sammi Cheng's concert and was very impressed. The stage was very extravagant, the costumes were funky and the dancers and songs were top class. There were also some lively interactions with some of the audience, which was refreshing. What I noticed is that the concerts all run on time and everyone is early, no waiting for big shots for half and hour or more. The concert tickets costs $240, but it was well worth it.

On Friday I watched Pirates 3 with Kara and some friends. The tickets costs $85 and a medium popcorn will set you back another $65, gulp! The movie plot was a bit messy and slightly long, but overall it was still better than Spiderman 3. I guess that's what happens when you make 2 sequels. It was a small cinema in Pacific Place and the seats were really comfy leather seats. What was really impressive came at the end of the show. Not that I noticed, but halfway through the show, the aircond went dead. At the end of the show, the cinema staff stopped us from leaving and annouced that due to the inconvenience caused, we can keep our ticket stubs and exchange for any other movie within a month! Now that's class!

We stepped out of the cinema around 1 am and a bus pulls up in no time. I have never waited for more than half and hour for any public transport. Now thats pretty impressive!

A new beginning

arrived in hong kong with mixed feelings
excited for a new environment
missing my family who have been awesome with me all my life

spent most of the first day in the hotel and travel time
met up with sea loon, grace, low and kara for dinner and karaoke till 4.30 am
and was totally smashed when i reached the hotel

woke up today and went to grace's place at Kennedy Town
viewed about 6-7 units, only 1 looked remotely acceptable, hahahaahah
nevermind, still had a few days to look at other units

went to Mong Kok for dinner, gosh there are so many people, unbelievable
bought some socks (yes, nike socks) and finally the very useful Octopus card

i miss my family already.....
my shoulders are killing me, and my feet ache
no plans for tomorrow yet, probably will hang out around grace's apartment and watch football at nite

hong kong is so full of energy, probably becoz there is so many people walking around all the time
its fairly clean despite the number of people around
