Music Sunday #2 - Bonnie Raitt

Feeling Loveless? Listen!

Seduction, Temptations and Desires.

"Nasi goreng kampung tambah ayam goreng (Kampung Fried Rice with an additional Fried Chicken)", he said to the Mamak that was taking our order. I held in my gulp, feeling tempted but didn't want to let myself go. I remember back those days when I always look forward upon Mamak stalls. Not only because the price are usually cheap, but the satisfaction whenever I order fried meehoon with a juicy piece of fried chicken.

I have to admit, after I've exposed myself to the calories counting I've been avoiding lots of food. I was so destined to cut down on every single thing that I can. Well, as they always say, the world is made up of Yin and Yang. Every Pro comes with a Con, so at times I find myself being a 'party pooper'. This always happens when I always disagree whenever my friends wanted to go to a fast food joint to grab the casual burger.

I find myself leaving the fast food world. One day, my friends and I was talking about movies that was on the cinema, because we thought of catching up with the movie trend. Suddenly a friend mentioned about a movie called Fast Food Nations. He mentioned that the movie was based on a person's research towards fast food and somehow proved that a meal of that would cut your life by two days. Meaning, you would have 48 hours less to spend on earth. I only managed to react with widening my small eyes and thinking about the burger I had yesterday. Not to mention the fries!

After that, I've not ate much fast foods. Until now, I always tend to plan my meals and what's best. Of course, once in awhile I let myself indulge in that piece of steak and the great old 'Kickin Shrimp' from Tony Romas. Other days, I mean the usual boring days I would normally go for foods which I think would have less calories and at least healthy for me to indulge. Maybe that's the reason why I always go for the casual Ipoh Hor Fun in every place I see it.

Sure, temptations sometimes leaves you lingering for food. Take a yum cha session for example, with everyone ordering a plate of sinful indulges makes you want to just join in the mumbo-jumbo! Sometimes, I choose to leave and sometimes when I get lucky, I wasn't hungry at all!

I always remind myself that the food is not healthy and eating right is the best way to get well, better health? and of course it'd be an icing on the cake if I looked healthier. In fact, who doesn't want to have a nice body and get people to notice them, right? People now, pay so much money to get their body toned by going to sculpting at some centers. It's already becoming a trend.

Talking about trends, joining a gym now is being the 'hip' thing among us Malaysians, no? We don't ask a person if he/she goes to gym anymore, we ask "Which gym do you go?". I spent about a year playing around with equipments in the gym in the place where I used to stay.

Last year, a friend of mine manage to persuade me to join a gym. He was pretty destined to lose weight and I was pretty much enlighten by the idea as well. So i did joined the gym. I was working my butt out in Celebrity Fitness, Bangsar. I find it easier to work out in a gym rather than outdoors. The lingering smell of sweats and the peer pressure of people working out will automatically starts your drive!

Although I've been slacking off and probably the membership is going to end at the end of this month, I'm still destined to stay healthy and always stay stagnant to my choice of food and learn to say no to bad, sinful temptations.

Astro B.yond Blogger's Night.

High-Definition need no further elaboration to the modern world which is filled with high technologies. It's indeed the evolution of a new era of the old television.

On 18th December, Astro had taken a huge step by introducing High Definition to the world by launching the new, Astro B.yond. Needless to say, Astro provides good quality television to Malaysia for quite sometime now and I'm glad that they're finding ways of improvement eventhough, Astro itself is already a strong element and also a must have for most families in Malaysia.

13th January 2010 marks a new beginning of the introduction towards Astro B.yond. About 250 peoples attended the event which was held at Modesto' Sri Hartamas. There were units of High-Definition television displayed all around the event area, exposing the seduction of the High-Definition's display.

Opening speech by Mr. Henry - COO of Astro Malaysia

Experience like never before, I believe the programs that are going to the houses all around Malaysia are going to tickle their vision-buds for as it's the first-ever High-Definition broadcast in Malaysia. It certainly answered the prayers of many people around Malaysia which wishes to watch other programs in High-Definition instead of only Blu-Ray's and DVDs. Being a person who watches television everyday, this would be one of the upgrades that'd be an icing on the cake on the world of television.

See like never before, the 5 channels that were chosen to be the firsts was displayed during the events. First one being Astro Supersport HD, which is nonetheless the highlight of this year's World Cup 2010. Being able to watch the World Cup in High-Definition at the comfort of your own home is pretty everything that  malaysian football fans could ask for. Along side there is ESPN HD, HBO HD, National Geographic HD and History HD.

Hear like never before, in this area Astro B.yond has set up the audio into an advanced audio quality in Dolby Digital. Certainly, what's a good viewing experience without the whole package? (Which is the Audio and Visual).



We were indulged by a performance by the local orchestra group. The performance was very getting the audience into the mood of grooving and beating along with the music. It was indeed a 'Hear like never before'. I believe this feature would certainly be a plus for Astro B.yond. Watching the good old movie 'Godzilla' would require a mind blasting Surround Sound to complete the experience.

Touch like never before, along with the whole mumbo-jumbo of Astro B.yond comes a whole new remote control which comes with new features like, the 7 days' programme guide which could be useful because now, we can plan way ahead. Like I said, Astro is already upgrading from all aspects and with this, Navigation would be no more than a walk in the park.

Feel like never before, the audience of the night was the lucky group of viewers to be the firsts to witness the Astro B.yond full length advertisement. It was enchanting and somehow surreal due to the High-Definition throughout the whole ad. It was so fresh that the audience wanted to view the ad for a second time! Needless to say, the advertisement has proved that Astro B.yond is here to stay. The whole journey of the advertisement was like a walk through the world of High Definition. Showing off bits of different programmes that was offered. With the surround sound, it really makes us as through we're experiencing it first hand.

Now, adding up all the features I'd say Astro B.yond have the whole package which would bring the viewing experience into a whole new level. Other than introducing the Astro B.yond, the night was continued by Nuffnang Sdn Bhd. They organized a game which had 100 audience joining it to compete for the Astro B.yond set which includes a new Astro B.yond Box, Astro B.yond Dish,HDMI cable remote control, smart card and of course a 32' LG High-Definition television.It was then resulted won by Eric Yong.

The 'Crime Scene' of the game.

The victory marks the end of the other 99 audience but a beginning for the whole world to experience the world of High-Definition, Astro B.yond.

As a Disney character always say,"To infinity and Beyond".

Parenting is not an easy job.

"But I need that phone" I said. In my mind I knew I don't need it so much but still the thought of owning the desired phone would be satisfying.

I have to admit, I'm a very demanding person. Be it from things to matter, I would want more and more. I have to say that this would be one of my negative attributes. For what I have, I always take things for granted. In someway, I feel like the world owes me and in someway people are close to me was there to pay.

I remember when I started to be like that. Back when I was a kid, since my parents are separated I live with only my mum. Every now and then my dad would turn up into my place and give me at least something to please me (In this case I think it's because he wanted to feel a little less guilty for leaving his son for a mistress). As the time goes, I was every time promised by my so called "Dad" that he'd do things and get me things. One day, he didn't get anything. I was so pissed and I totally shut myself down from anyone until he went out and get a walkman and some tapes for me.

I believe in everybody's life they have something they'd always complain about. Things that they don't want, things that they do not get, things that people have but they don't. In my case, it was pretty much a family. I was 2 years old when my family got broken into half. Leaving a toddler clueless of what was going on. Till today, I have a mere memory about being in my grandma's place.I was playing a ball wondering why am I here? and why my mom cries that much?

Until, my step dad stepped into the scene. Heard from my mom that, even when I was a little boy. I wasn't afraid of him.(Being that he's an Italian) At first, I didn't know what to do. All I know was this uncle is getting me good gifts when I go back home with a report card filled with flying colors. I was then, confused but happy. To me, he was like a knight in a shining armor that comes with a lot of Power Ranger toys that is. I often times take things for granted ever since.


Am I a spoiled brat? Yes I was. Am I still a spoilt brat? I don't know.

Being able to get what I wants at times makes me forget to count my blessings. Have you ever want something that much before that now you've already had it, you forget how much you wanted it and turn your attention to something that you don't have? I've always been a person like that. Not until the past year, I began to step back and think for awhile. Blessings? I've tonnes. Did I count my blessings after I've got them? None.

I make it a pact to always remember of the things I've gotten that I know I wanted to much at that specific moment.

I will now,count my blessings everyday.

Thanks to my Dad, I've gotten a car to drive around.
Thanks to my Dad, I'm being able to study where I study now, Raffles Design College.
Thanks to my Dad, I'm able to film the short film soon with the handycam.
Thanks to my Mom, I'm able to capture some photographs along my way of growing up.
Thanks to my Mom, I've had great meals in about everyday!
Thanks to my Mom, For the sarcastic,weird and inspiring advices.
Thanks to my Mom, For sending me to computer classes when I was a kid.
Thanks to the parents, For making my teenage life a good and relaxed one.

They've done so much for you already. What else do you want?

When was the last time you genuinely hug your parents and say Thank You?

So the next time when your parents didn't want to get you the things you think you deserved. Well, think of the things they've already given you. Be in their shoes. No?
