"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:37-39

然而靠着爱我们的主，在这一切的事上，已经得胜有余了。
因为我深信无论是死，是生，是天使，是掌权的，是有能的，
是现在的事，是将来的事，是高处的，是低处的，是别的受造之物，
都不能叫我们与神的爱隔绝。这爱是在我们的主基督耶稣里的。
罗马书 8:37-39

She prayed for:

God guide and guard our heart in every aspect
Our career in climbing the corporate ladder
We have more time attending Cell Group, to serving God, active in church and also grow in God's words
God prepare us with a suitable partner, who's also a Christian.
We take care of ourselves, each other and also look after our father.

Amen.

We thank her by giving her bear hug and say good night to her. Tomorrow she'll be amitted to hospital for medication attention.

A message from my mum to all her friends

2008-09-26T16:32:00.005+08:00

Dear Bros & Sis,

Doctor confirmed that I have 1- 2 weeks. Anytime from now I could enter into coma suffering severe toxicity from my own body. I wish to break this news to you as you are part of my family in Christ.

God is still in control even though at the moment there is no sign of turning of my illness. God had my soul saved. So the victory over sin is won. My soul will soon enter eternity in Glory. Whether my body will be restored to health is no more an issue. Cancer may have defeated and destroyed it but Satan can’t touch my soul a single bit. Nothing can separate me from the LOVE of GOD, to echo Paul’s words.

As for me, in life or death, my purpose is to serve HIM.

God answered my prayer. The book launch on 15 September was well attended with the main hall packed. It is my desire that God may use the books to enter the hearts and souls of those who need the Love and Peace that could only come from God. Please use them for His sake.

Thank you for the loving and long standing acquaintances we built in Christ. Thanks for your encouragement and care and I feel them deeply. May all Glory be to HIM and HIM alone.

I wish to see some of my dear friends while I’m still alert and may it be very soon. Please contact William.

Meanwhile my family values your continual prayer support.

God bless,

Rosemary (alias Crystal)
(Mrs. William Wong)

各位弟兄姊妹，

醫生証實我的時間不多，可能就是一兩個星期，很快體内毒素會使我要進入昏迷狀況中，與我主見面就近了。我將這消息告訴你們是因爲你們是我主内的家人，你們也是我重要的禱告勇士。

雖然我的病惡化到末期看不到會好轉，但神仍然在掌權。我靈魂得救，戰勝了罪的毒鈎，我靈要進到永恒榮耀裏。至於我患病的肉體還會得著神的醫治與否，那已經不再是重要的事了。癌可以戰勝我的肉體，但魔鬼卻絲毫不能侵佔我的靈魂。沒有一樣東西可以將神的愛與我隔絕，這是保儸弟兄說的話。阿們！

因此以後我活我死是完全爲服侍主。

九月15日新書推介禮看到你們踴躍出席與購買，謝謝。神應允我的禱告祈求，《抗癌十年不言敗》，我的第三本書，出版了！願神籍著它將愛和平安帶到衆多需要的人。

感謝主讓我們有這份主内的深情，也衷心謝謝在病中你們帶來的關懷與鼓勵。現在我們更需要你們的禱告扶持。神實在恩待我這家。

雖然我沒氣力跟你們長談，但我想趁還神志清醒，希望能見你們這班禱告勇士一面, 要快。請跟炳文聯絡。

願主賜福于你

葉玉昭

叶玉昭新书发布感恩会, 黄炳文致谢词.

上帝实在是一位独行奇事的神。要为玉昭出版这本书，在两个月前是个梦想，两个月后上帝竟将这本书交在我们手中。

除了谢谢上帝，我们也要谢谢为这本书奔走的文桥总干事 - 黄子弟兄及文桥文字部主任晨砚姐妹，文桥众同工，及今晚在台上鼓励玉昭的朋友们。同时，也要谢谢各位拨时间出席。

玉昭的身体还是很弱，但相信上帝会慢慢医治她。上帝的应许，从不落空，祂口中所出的话，决不徒然返回。愿一切荣耀都归给我们全能的上帝！

Our God is indeed a God who works wonders. This (signaling the book) was merely a dream two months ago. But now, it is a dream come true. Praise be to Our God.

Besides thanking God who made all these possible, we have to thank Brother Wang Zi – Editor in chief of Wen Qiao, Sister Chen Yan, the rest of the staff in Wen Qiao, and friends whom with your speeches encouraged Rosemary greatly.
And of course, we would like to thank every single one of you for joining us tonight, making it extra special for me and my family.

Although Rosemary is still rather weak at the moment, but we have faith in God’s healing power. For the words that came out from His mouth will never return to Him void, thus this is the promise that we cling on to.

May all the glory be to our awesome God.

Mum's new book launch speech

叶玉昭新书发布感恩会, 叶玉昭致词.

久未见面的朋友，今晚见到我，可能会惊讶，怎么玉昭变得这么新潮，居然将头发染成黄色。其实，这是假发，我的头发，已被化疗一扫而光。

1997年12月我患了乳癌，当时医生说能活过五年的机会只有 30%，但我却奇迹般的活了下来，直到 2006年8月，癌病转移到肺，又打了一场仗。这场仗，我没输，癌症也没赢，一直服药控制着。

到了今年3月，癌症又卷土重来，占居了我的骨头，肝脏。当医生和我看到 CT scan 中一片乌云似的肝脏，医生也摇头。这场仗，要打吗？将是一场艰苦的硬仗！

做了两次化疗，不但没有好转，反将肝脏再一步破坏！医生忙喊停。他说了一句病人听了绝望的话 “There is very little we can do”. 就好像粤语残片中，医生对病人的亲人说：他时日无多，他要吃什么，就让他吃，要去哪里，就带他去吧！

回家后想到医生的话：very little we can do. 但我知道有一位医生，HE can do great Things FOR me. 他就是耶和华拉法，全能的医治者，我所信靠的神，祂为我开的药方，全都在这里！

你问我怕吗？有时怕到骨头都消溶。沮丧吗？沮丧得想放弃，常有负面的思想攻击 – “肝癌，哪有这么易医治？” 但神的应许，清清楚楚的记载在圣经一直支撑我，安慰我，鼓励我。

相信在他没有难成的事，相信人的尽头，是神的开始，祂会为我开路，让我经历到在人不能，在神凡事都能的恩典。

当我感到孤单无助时，以赛亚书 41:10 成为我的支撑

你不要害怕，因为我与你同在
不要惊惶，因为我是你的神
我必坚固你，我必帮助你
我必用我公义的右手扶持你

是的，

叶玉昭你不要害怕，因为神与你同在，
叶玉昭你不要惊惶，因为上帝是你的神，
神必坚固我，神必帮助我，
神必用祂公义的右手扶持我。

我住在16楼，每逢我望到窗外的蓝天，及飞翔在空中的小鸟，我便想到那段充满活力，应许，盼望的经文。“那等待耶和华的，必重新得力，他们必如鹰展翅上腾，他们奔跑，却不困倦，行走，却不疲乏，我曾问上帝，什么时候，我才能重新得力，展翅上腾？但上帝却要我等候，神有祂的时间，只要在一切所行的事上认定祂，祂必指引我的路。

出埃及记 23:30，英文圣经如此记载:

Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increase enough to take possession of the Lord.

神的工作有时也是 little by little，一点一点，渐渐在进行。Little by little, 祂会将癌症赶走，直到我康复后承受那地为荣。那地，在我来讲，是什么呢？诗篇118篇17节说：

我必不至死，任要存活，并要传扬耶和华的作为。

那地，就是我的传扬耶和华作为的象征。

我相信神也一点一滴在陶造我，将我的稜角傲气磨去，一点一点焚烧我，将我性格的污点，软弱，烧掉。

我不是一个坚毅的人，是祂使我刚强，我是一个很缺乏安全感的人，是祂教我信靠。

今后，我的祷告是，上帝给我双倍的力量及恩典，
1. 是有精神写
2. 所写的是荣耀上帝，传扬祂作为的文章。

谢谢各位。

老豆，happy birthday

2008-08-27T22:58:00.019+08:00

Hey young man, happy birthday to you. Another year older liao, getting 'older-young man' already. Must take care of yourself. Sleep early, don't always play Sudoku until late night.

Do some exercise, You gonna hate it, but that's the way to get healthier and slim down the 'hidden cushion' from your tummy. Ya~, I know, like father like son. We'll go do exercise together at the gym room someday in the evening. Okie?

Talking about sleep early. I remember quoted this few years ago: "If you willing to give me the chance/privilege to bring you to tour around the world next time, please take care of your health and sleep early, do not let your liver work O.T." You were stunned that time, do you still remember?

I'm glad that you're still here with us, and mum as well. 老豆, Happy 61st Birthday! May God bless you abundantly. I love you, Papa.

P/S: Anwar just celebrated his 61st birthday 2 weeks ago.

Chichabe is back!

A special day 2008.2008

2008-08-21T12:20:00.010+08:00

Today is a special day - 20.08.2008, double 2008. It only happened ONCE.

What had happened on this day? Nothing special, just a normal day for me.

My mum got discharged from UH. She was admitted to hospital on 13 Aug for observation on her on & off fever. She started to have this fever on 7 Aug. Doc gave her antibiotic (dripping type) twice a day, for 7 continues days. Finally the fever has cleared.

She also begin suffering from ascites. Large amounts of fluid accumulate in her abdomen, it will become large and causing her lose appetite and feel short of breath.

Doc decided to give her a new chemo drug - Taxotere, similar with Taxol. Considering her liver condition, doc gave her a much more lower dose which only contain 10 mg, where normally is 120mg. Doc will increase the dosage according to the result.

A week later will go back and have blood test to check on the result, hopefully will gets good result on the new drug.

This is latest update of my mum's condition. I'm sharing this text message, sent out by my dad on 2nd August 08.

Dear prayer warriors,

Rosemary is better in strength & stamina. Praise the Lord. Blood test on tumor markets gone down very much. CT scan result shows liver cancer is contained.

Doctor puts her on a chemo with 2 drugs used in combination to give better response. We follow his advice. Naturally she'll be subject to all sorts of side effects associating the chemo used.

Thanks for the continual prayers. Good night.

William.

2008-07-30T00:40:00.004+08:00

Finally I got reviewed on last Friday.

After for 4 long months (3 months + 1 month self extension) probation in this company.

What I've done during this 4 months?
1. Internal supports
2. Involvement in few projects doing system installation & configuration.
3. Attended one day training session on system installation at Singapore
4. Make new friends
5. Get to know/learn new MS products
6. Got real sick & admitted to hospital (Acute Bronchitis with Rhino Sinusitis + Cough Syncope)
7. Got reviewed

End result...not up to my expectation. Should I appeal?

Opps, I admitted again

2008-07-12T22:57:00.004+08:00

I went back to the hospital for 2nd follow up visit on 11th July 08. I complained to the physician that I fainted after a small cough, and this happened quite frequent and it's really serious. If I fainted in the car on my way to work/home, that will be extremely dangerous.

The physician - Dr. Thye referred me to neurologist – Dr. Vimalan. I told the neurologist what had happened to me and also what are my worries.

After some basic examination, the neurologist requested me to take MRI, MRA and EEG test to see if there's any blood vassal blockage, any sign of moya-moya disease and vaovagal syncope that causes me semi-conscious fainting. By completing all 3 tests I must be admitted to hospital again.

EEG test - Electroencephalography

Full blood test

Urine and stoll test

The result was normal. I'm a healthy young adult. Just need more rest, take up some exercise and vitamin C. I was discharge from the hospital on the 2nd day.

Total payment for accommodation, drug & medicine, laboratory services, professional doctor fees, and radiology services = RM2783.90.

Opps, I Pengsan Again!

2008-07-10T20:35:00.004+08:00

I've not been coughing this whole morning, and that's great news for me, the sign of recovering from severe cough. But I began to cough after I had my lunch.

While I'm waiting at for the lift at the lobby, I had a little cough and continues coughing like a machine gun. I felt numb from my head till the rest of the body. My head, hands and legs began struggling and shacking. Slowly I lost my conscious and then black out.

Few seconds later, the security guard woke me up. The guard told me that I was lying on the floor with arms wide open and head facing on the floor. I rested aside to gain my conscious, my face was very in pain, I guess I must be fall down and hits on the ground very hard.

This is not the 1st time I fainted at public area. I've experienced the same incident while I was having BAH KUT TEH with my auntie last week end. I felt like coughing that, and walked myself to the pedestrian path way, and fainted there. One of the BAH KUT TEH customer realized and helps my way back to my seat. My goodness, that was dangerious.

I also encounter this problem before I was diagnosed suffering from Accute Bronchitis, severe coughing. It's started early this year. i will feel dizzy or fainted while I laugh very hard. I observed the whole process, from the time I cough/laugh and then half fainted.

When I cough, I’ll be coughing out most the air from my lung, and I felt my abdomen squeezes the fluid rushing up to the airway directing to my mouth and nose. This results that I couldn’t resume normal breathing after the cough. At the same time, presure builds in my head, I felt the numbness spreads from my head to the rest of my body. Body become weak, start struggling, shacking, and can’t stand still. After I fall down, I’m still half conscious, just like sleeping with normal breathing. Few seconds later I’ll regain my conscious. And this happen when I laught very hard. Recently there's a write up about a 3 years old boy who could die of laughing. The syndromes are quite similar to mine.

My right cheek was very pain, must be fall down and hits on the ground very hard.

I'll be returning to hospital tomorrow for following checkup. I'll talk about this problem with the physician, hopefully she'll refer me to the right specialist to diagnose the root cause of this probem happend to me.

Mum's upate - 7 July 08

2008-07-07T22:38:00.016+08:00

I'm sharing this email, sent by my mum on 7 July 08 to her fellow friends.
------------------------------------------------------

Hello ! Here is Rosemary speaking.

Matthew 25:34-41 Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

Dear Sisters from our Fraser Tower Condo Ladies Bible Study Group,

1. I don’t know how to express my gratitude towards your constant prayer support and your timely practical act of love supplying daily lunches and dinners
to my door steps, not just one day, not one week but for weeks end-on and PTL it is still on-going. I can only sum it all up by proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ, for He is Jehovah Jireh.

2. Dear sisters, God saw my needs and you were instrumental to come to my rescue. His grace is wonderful and abundant. It is certainly sufficient for me. I shall always be reminded of this. In my prayers I am constantly reminded of your love generosity, a thing I shall not be able to re-pay enough. May I seek God for a greater portion of His Grace to each and every one of you and your respective households. May He top up your caring ministry with Icing of Love and Caramel of Joy.

3. About my cancer treatment:

i. Due to my bad liver function condition, now at 20% efficiency, medically there is little hope. On 23 June doctor said I have TWO months to live. That’s right, 2 months he said. Now that was doctor’s conclusion on my life Expectancy. Naturally, I was shock at the news for a while. So soon meh! But I do believe that God’s report on me is not out and He will reveal it to me in His time.

ii. I hang on to my creator and Savior’s promises. And I pray for divine Intervention and healing. I know the Lord will not forsake me to leave me fighting the battle alone. He will be by my side as I journey on.

iii. On 30 June doctor gave me the liver function results. There was a significant drop on some liver enzymes indicators. That was a bit of ‘good news’ but not sufficient to indicate a turn on my cancer for the better. But still it was a result to draw little comfort from.

iv. I am now on oral chemo (Xeloda) at a lower dosage as the doctor found Taxol was too potent for my body. Xeloda comes with numerous side effects. Notablly, tiredness, hand and feet syndromes, mouth soars, hair-drop and etc… I have all these. Please be warn that you will see a bald headed Rosemary the next time you visit me. My soar mouth came for a week and now gone. I am able to resume taking solid food and I am able to conduct a conversation in comfort without the soar. Oh yes indeed, I can enjoy your cooking of solid delicious food once again. How appetizing the thought is!

4. Thank you and thank you for the food.

May His grace, love of Jesus Christ and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all, evermore. Amen!

Sister in Christ,

Rosemary

Flower basket from ATQ

2008-07-01T20:24:00.008+08:00

I received this lovely flower basket from my company 2 days after i discharged from Assunta Hospital. Although a bit late, but i still appriciate it.

'Speedy Recovery', want me return to work next day izit? I haven't finished my MC yet, you wait la. ha ha ..

Roses and Sun Flowers

Brands: Essence of Chicken

Sun Flower, one of my favorite.

Yan was hospitalized

2008-06-29T21:02:00.000+08:00

Coughing until hopitalized. Sure or not... so serious one? I don't know wor... this happend so suddent.

14 June 08 - Severe coughing started.

17 June 08 - I went to see GP and he issued me some antibiotic and 2 days MC.

24 June 08 - After coughing for another week, I went back to the same GP again and he gave me stronger dose of antibiotic with 2 days MC. The GP also wrote me a referral letter to the physician regarding on my severe coughing situation.

Optimus prime VS Terrorist - I wore this mask at home, in the car and my workplace. Just don't want cough out and let the virus flying in the air, endangering everyone around me.

25 – 29 June 08 - I went to visit a physician – Dr. Thye at Assunta Hospital. Doctor diagnosed me suffering from lung infection. I need take X-Ray and she me stronger dose of antibiotic, cough mixture, some painkiller to relives my chest pain.

I requested to be admitted to hospital for monitoring and intensive care from the hospital for one or two days. The reason is I couldn’t return home, I was self quarantine from my mum. My mum’s immune system was in the lowest stage of her health, she’ll easily get infected if I’m around coughing, and that will be very hard for her to recover. I’m staying with my auntie who stays nearby my house.

I stayed in the 4-bedded room, I’m the youngest among the patients. Each bed has individual LCD TV installed on the ceiling. You’ll only have to pay RM12 for TV service per day. The nurses and doctor came in and out, took my body temperature, check my blood pressure and gave me medicine. On the 2nd day, Ee Jet drop by to visit me during lunch hour and he blogged this.

This is where I slept, 4-bedded room. An adjustable bed, small cabinet, table & TV remote.

They marked me with a regitration tag.

Stap a needle into my right hand, it looks like Wolferine claw.

This is the itinerary during my 4D3N stay in hospital
06:00 – Nurses came to take my blood pressure and body temperature
07:00 – V.A.M Inhalation, antibiotic injection, medi
09:00 – Breakfast
10:00 – Free & Easy (F&E): Online at Starbucks Assunta / watch Astro / DVD Drama

Menthol Steam Inhalation - Just like smoking Marlboro Mentol. So cooling & refreshing. (I don't smoke, okie?).

Mum's update - 27 June 08

2008-06-27T14:52:00.014+08:00

This is my mum current condision. I'm sharing this SMS, sent by my dad on 26 June 08.

"Rosemary will visit the oncologist on Tues to decide on the next course of treatment, this being necessary as a result of non-suitable to receive Intravenous Chemotherapy (I.V Chemo).

Her doctor gives her TWO months. Rosemary has good faith and trusting God is to be glorified in life or in death. She also holds on to GOD to be HER HEALER AND REDEEMER."

We've come to a stage that nothing we can do, but to hold on to GOD. My mum have strong faith on GOD and she trusted GOD is in control.

The end of man is the begining of GOD. 人的尽头是神的开始.

I will survive, yeh?

2008-06-26T17:53:00.009+08:00

The time has come. I have to do it, no matter what! No other choice, but have to do it gao gao.

This is the 1st time I pump petrol after the petrol price increased rapidly. I swapped my credit card, got approved, lift up the nozzle and began to pump petrol into the gas tank.

After a few sec, my eyes went wide open when see the total amount. RM108 for 40 Litres, my goodness!!

I wonder how can i survive in such high petrol price, how long can i survive?

HE Raise Me Up (You Raise Me Up)

2008-06-01T19:12:00.011+08:00

An email from a Pastor's wife – Monica to my mum.

HE Raise Me up (You Raise Me up)

Dear William,

Greetings! I want to share a song with Rosemary. This song had lifted me up.Please play on behalf of me and sing together with her.
I have tear thrilled on my eyes as I meditate and think of her. (miss)The Lord has used her life to fasten mine.

With Love,

Monica

Here’s my mum’s reply:

Dear Monica,

Thank you for your tears on my account. William prayed on your behalf just as you had requested. My soul is lifted up by the lyrics and the music and also the prayer rendered on your behalf. Do not feel sorry for me because Jesus is not sorry for me either. Jesus strengthens me daily as my hope of eternal life builds on His merciful assurance. Very soon we’ll see you again. I hope I shall be strong enough to see you and your family on 15 June Sunday.

God bless,

Rosemary

Here's the lyrics goes:

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me

CHORUS:
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up.. to more than I can be.

* REPEAT CHORUS

There is no life - no life without its hunger
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up .. to more than I can be
You raise me up .. to more than I can be

We are strong when We are on HIS shouldersHe rises us up to more than we can be,Just to have the glimpse of eternity……be comfort in HIM, Rosemary, Jesus Loves, I love you.

Chilling Jazz @ CK Tang

2008-02-04T23:23:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year is just 2 more days away, yet I still haven't buy any new cloth. On Sunday afternoon my brother & I went to Pavilion to shop and hoping that will get something. But in the end, we went home empty handed. While heading to the parking lot, we passed by CK Tang main entrance and heard a Jazz band performing.

The Jazz band - Chilling Jazz

Their performance really attacked me deeply, with just a keyboard, a bass and a simple drum set. They performed the Chinese New Year songs with a different texture. The lead vocalist sing very well, and she also looks like Gillian Chung (钟欣桐) * just put a side the scandal thingy and Sonija Kwok (郭羨妮). Woo~ both my favourate artist.

财神到

Don't know what's the song name. Any clue?

As you can see the drummer was having good time as well.
His face expression very funny.

2007-12-02T17:55:00.000+08:00

Actually was not my umbrella went missing... I heard this song over the radio this afternoon, and caught my attention. Hey, wasn't this song suppose to be a clubbing song, how come it sounded so nice? After googling, I found that this was sang by Marie Digby.

Marie Digby sings, writes music, and plays both the guitar as well as the piano! She shot up to Youtube popularity in 2007 through her acoustic version of Rhianna’s song 'Umbrella'. See her in person singing acoustic version - Umbrella. Isn't she beautiful?

The 1st time I saw this clip was in the church morning service.
Finally I found it in youtube, and would like to share it with you guys.

Please pay full attention on this clip, watch few more times if you don't get it.
Part of the lyric went like this:

A child just arrived the other day,
He came to the world in the usual way.
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay.
He learn to walk when I was away.
And he was talking before I knew it, and as he grew,
He'd say,"I'm gonna be like you, dad. You know I'm gonna be like you.

Children see, children do.
Please behave yourselves in front of the little one.
Be a good example, make your influence positive and educate the next generation.

Title:月牙灣 By: F.I.R

Verse 1
敦煌古墓的沙粒带着我们的际遇
我从半路看回去这秦关漫漫好蜿踞

Verse 2
梦想穿过了西域包含了多少的缠意
爱情像一本游记我会找寻它的密语

Bridge
看..月牙湾下的泪光在丝路之上被遗忘

Chorus
是谁的心啊孤单的留下他还好吗我多想爱他
那永恒的泪那一句话也许可能蒸发

是谁的爱啊又为谁降下轻声呼唤就让我融化
那一滴雨水演化成我翅膀向着我爱的人追吧

Screw or not to screw TMNut !?

2007-09-27T22:18:00.000+08:00

After reading Chean's Screw the TMnut post, I wonder how would the upload and download speed will be at my P.J area. So I try up the speed test website, and here's the result.

Speed test with the TMnut server located at KL

I was amazed with the result. Hm... on my 2nd thought, since there are other 2 servers available to test up the connection, why not give it a try? So I try up the speed test on Cyberjaya and Penang TMnut servers, and the result as below.

Speed test with the TMnut server located at Cyberjaya

Speed test with the TMnut server located at Penang

Hmm, not bad wor... But with this result, it's too good be true. I'm still not convinced, maybe this is hard coded result leh. Therefore I decided to try few more times and get the average speed reading.

Now I'm impressed. No wonder youtube video load so fast like a bullet train la! But 1 thing I don't understand, why I get the upload and download speed from Cyberjaya and Penang server a bit faster than KL server geh? Maybe TMnut users in KL already heavy over populated? Hey nutty, please come out a solution to solve this problem la...

As for the TMnut tech support, sigh... Please pay more and get a professional job agent to hire those experienced and IT literate people la. Hire the right people for the right post, what what big B small b, 笑死人咩？激到Ah Chean gor 扎扎跳! 底人写 blog 写衰你! 收皮啦~

My yahoo mail got bombed today

2007-07-17T18:45:00.000+08:00

As you can see, my yahoo mail account got bombed today. It's not sabotage by terrorist, not infected by virus and not system error. This was cause by my fellow friends who likes to chat with each others via emails.

I tell you, they are really highly trained professional "chatter", able to chat in any topic. You post it, they chat it. Mails flooded my inbox from 0 to 93 new emails just within 3 hours. I have to spare nearly 1 hour to finish all of it then able to get what were they chatting about.

It was fascinating reading their reply mails. Topic were general but interesting, the words used and descriptions they put on very lively, as if we were chatting at the mamak. The topic change from one to another gradually, and slowly direct you to other issue without you knowing it, got story line one.

I wonder whether they are having dept holiday or their bosses wasn't in today. GOT NOTHING TO DO IZIT? VERY FREE AR? Wait until tomorrow then you'll know!! Anyway, thank you for C.C copy me, it's been pleasure reading it.

My dad discovered 'new land' - 老爸子發現新大陸

2007-07-10T00:07:00.000+08:00

After work, I went for a movie at 1U with my sister and cousin sister. The movie start at 8:45pm, and I receive my dad's call at 8:30pm. I quickly walked out from the theater and answer it.

Dad: Yan, I sent your uncle an email just now and he reply immediately. I think he's online now. I wonder if I could use your Skype account to chat with him? What's your Skype password?
Yan: Hm... It has been long time I didn't use Skype, I forgot my password. Why not you register yourselves a Skype account, it's very easy, shouldn't take long.

After I hang up, and I began feel bad. It seems like I push him away when he needs my favour, and I didn't receive any call from him. I arrived home at 11:00pm. Very tired, planned to take bath and head straight to bed. Just about I walk to my room, dad walks out from the kitchen and scratch my back.

Dad: Hey, do you know what happened today??
Yan: What's up?
Dad: (Very excited) I registered myself a Skype account! I called your uncle in UK and we chat.
Yan: That's great! You've made it.
Mum: Yan, your 'big brother' (dad) had discovered a new land (發現新大陸), ha ha ha...
Dad: He he.. it was quite easy, just register in Skype website to create an account. Got your uncle's Skype ID, and add him into the list. Very fast I can see him appear in my list, then we chat over net.
Yan: Well, now it's time for you to explore more since you have plenty of time at home. Next, you're going to get your own MSN account.
Dad: Ha ha ha... I have no friend to chat with. Why should I have a MSN account wor?
Yan: You can chat with your daughter, nephews and nieces ga ma.
Dad: We'll see how 1st.

Dad walks away joyfully to the living room area, lie down on the big couch and adjust to comfort position. Pick up the controller from the tea table and switch on his favourite channel. Yes, Channel 52 – National Geographic always his choice.

Dad’s really getting old now. From a fear father to me during my childhood, becomes my friend during my teenage days, and now he’s becoming like a child to me. I can see very often he likes to communicate and ‘involving’ himself into our life, so there will be less gap in father and son relationship. He will share his and I'll share mine. You know what? He knows how to sing Beyond's - 海闊天空. That's very awesome/cool, isn't ?

Really glad I had him beside me all the time and I still have lots to learn from him. And not to be forgotten, also thanks to my grandpa as well.

* Note: I'm not boasting how great my father is, but I'm writing my feeling from the bottom of my heart.

Toilet new look

2007-07-07T16:48:00.000+08:00

When I walk into the toilet, guess what I saw? Some one has left his Grammy Award behind after finished shuu - shuu.

I wonder why they put this piece of art in the toilet, some more right beside the shuu-shuu bowl.

Good idea, I can place my hand on the top while doing my business.

Or I can stuck my head in as a hair band?

Woo.. very smooth and sexy.. Come on babe..

Warrr... quickly! Go hide yourself, someone coming in!

When I walk out from the rest room, I saw another piece of art work and the painter name is Xily. I wonder how much would this painting cost.

Ya right, what a silly job to hang a artistic painting on the toilet' wall.

Back from holiday

2007-07-05T17:43:00.000+08:00

French movie, anyone?

2007-06-02T23:50:00.001+08:00

Movie: Hors De Prix (Priceless)
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Language: French (with English subtitles)
Cast: Gad Elmaleh, Audrey Tautou

Jean (Gad Elmaleh), a shy waiter working in a grand hotel, is mistaken for a young millionaire by beautiful, scheming adventuress Irene (Audrey Tautou). When she discovers his lowly status, Irene beats a quick retreat. But lovestruck Jean has no intention of letting her escape, and pursues her to the Cote d’Azur. Quickly running out of money, he adopts a new lifestyle, setting himself up as a gigolo and moving in to a magnificent luxury hotel. Irene, at last accepts this new Jean. She starts to give him advice. She grows closer to him, not realizing that love is working its subtle magic on her too.

Catch Audrey Tautou( Da Vinci Code, Amelie) in Priceless, the new French romantic comedy, where she plays a young gold digger who mistaken a mild-mannered bartender for a wealthy suitor. Clieck here to watch the trailer.

I went to watch this movie yesterday. Well, after all it's French movie festival season 埋去趁下熱鬧囉. When the first line showed on the screen, everyone chuckled, it was in French. No one could understand what does it means. I thought I was in the wrong cinema...

I enjoyed this French movie from start till the end. Although I don’t understand what they are talking, by looking at the actors’ face expression and motion, you can roughly know what’s happening. If you can’t read face expression very well, English subtitle are available throughout the movie, it makes the movie lots more interesting. The story line quite nice and contemporary. Unlike most of the 'commercial' one, when it start and you'll know how it gona end. I would highly recommend this movie to all of you. Please go watch it, and I'm sure you'll like it.

RM 4.80. It’s quite small portion as compare with Halo’s, but cheaper lor...

It's smaller and tasted different from Halo's Ah Fa tofu. But I prefer Halo's recipe, taste more juicy and got 口感.

I would say the price is affordable, average and fair. Some even more cheapter then other 茶餐厅.

Gosh.. it's 11:30pm, and this restaurant still flooded with people moutain people sea 人山人海 . Maybe they are waiting for the movie, and have no where to go because all shops are closed. Just my jealous guess.

Loh Bok Lai = Loh Bak Nai?

2007-05-22T00:51:00.000+08:00

At GSC's main entrance, I spotted this poster.

International Screen @ GSC: Thing We Do When We Fall In Love 当我们同在一起

Can you spot out what's wrong with this poster?

There's nothing wrong with the name. But it just the English translation sounds funny, like "Lo Bak Nai" (萝卜奶).

Think twice in Malay, Hokkien, Hakka, Cantonese & Mandarin before naming your child.

2007-05-10T00:44:00.000+08:00

Both my dad and bro was sitting at the dining table. Each of them having their own laptop side by side connected to the Wifi. It was so silent that only can hear our CPU fans blowing out the hot air. 3 of us were sooo concentrate on our own stuff; my bro checking his mail, my dad preparing his presentasion slide, my mum was sleeping and I'm reading Paul Tan's blog.

We had a short conversation, and my bro make fun of my dad. The conversation went on, and here how it's goes.

Onn: Yan, the VIVA is so ulgly la ... (then continue reads his mail)
Yan: .... (didn't pay attention on what he's talking)
Dad: What is VIVA?

Onn: He he he... A pretty women. No la, it's a car's name.

Dad: Do you know what's the meaning of VIVA?
Onn: What?
Dad: VIVA is Latin word, it means 'LIFE'.
Onn: Yea.. I know.

Dad: Most of the Latin words which started with letter 'V' are related to LIFE.
Onn: Oh really? (Not convinced with the statement he made) How about Vitagin?
Dad: ... ...

5 seconds later...

Onn: How about Volvo? Visa ?
Dad: ... ...
Yan: LOL!

My 1st SLR lesson

2007-05-08T20:54:00.000+08:00

2 weeks ago during the long weekend, I've got the chance to play with my dept camera - Canon EOS 350D. Yes, it's an entry level for SLR digital camera, not cheap ga...

On Saturday night, I went to KLCC with my bro to take some night shots, and he brought along his photo shooting gadgets. Wow, looks like very pro.

My 1st attempt, was taken at 6:30pm but it seems like 7:30pm.

We park our car at the road side with hazel lights on. Found a good spot, mark our territory and start shooting photos. I realised the advantage of digital SLR is that you can take much photo as you like!! The best part is there's no limitation and it’s recyclable. 'Chik-chak'! View display, Don't like it? Delete it!

Here's my home work after few quick SLR lessons given by my bro.

View from the KLCC basement parking's entrance

Front view of KLCC twin tower

OMG!! Bending KLCC twin tower!!

View from the back screen of my bro's MyVI . This photo was taken by my bro.

A ghost photo of mine taken by my bro. 'Now you see me, now you dont!'

Yay! I've got a PASS!
Not bad huh :P Want to know how I did it?

Quote of the day

Quote of the day, laugh till your balls shake.

My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I've made your horn louder."

LOL!! -_-

Dude, where's my credit card?

2007-04-23T23:55:00.000+08:00

This incidence was happened on last 2 weeks ago (Sunday 15/04/07).

As usual,
1. I slot in my credit card into the petrol pump machine to make payment
2. Payment machine read the microchip
3. Show my details on the LCD screen
4. Request authentication and approval from bank
5. Payment approved by bank
6. Remove credit card from the machine, lift up the nozzle and began to pump petrol
7. After finished, put down the nozzle and get the receipt.
7. Close the petrol cover, start engine and drive away.

My bro drop me at purta station, jump on the train and I'm on my way to PC fare at KL convention center.

While on the train, I took out my wallet and slip the LRT ticket into the pocket. Then I realise my credit card wasn't there! Search around my jeans pocket, my bag and the wallet. No sign of the card, panic and fear began to rise up from my butt to my head!!! My goodness, I lost my card!

Faster call up my bro and ask him to return to the petrol station whether I left my card in the machine. But bad news for me, my card was not found there either. Immediately call up my dad to cancel the card, because he's the master card holder and my card is the supplemental card.

On my way back home, I feel something at back pocket. I FOUND MY CREDIT CARD!! OMG, how come I'm so careless!! My card has been cancelled, there's no way to reactivate it. To get another replacement card I have to make a police report, or else I have to pay RM50 for the replacement.

In the evening, Chun fetch me to police station which near by my house to launch a police report. Click here [Visit to police station]

The police report

Aiyerrr... so pai seh ... my bro, dad, mum, sis & all of my fellow buddies laugh at me.

Appraisal Letter

2007-03-24T21:10:00.000+08:00

Just want to share with you guys the forward email which I receive from my friend recently.
Please read until the end of the letter, especially the last part. Then go thru the letter again.
LOL

Dear Mananger (HR),

Vivek, my assistant programmer, can always be found
hard work in his cubicle. Vivek works independently, without
wasting company time talking to colleagues. Vivek never
think twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
finished given assignments on time. Often Vivek takes extended
measure to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
breaks. Vivek is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no
vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Vivek can be
classed as a high-calibre employee, the type which cannot be
dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Vivek be
promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
sent away as soon as possible.

Signed - Project Leader

NB: That stupid idiot was reading over my shoulder when I wrote the report
sent to you earlier today. Kindly read on the odd lines (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13)
for my true assessment of him.

Merlot, the table wine of the night! Taste nice & smooth.

Was playing & taking picture with Daniel's new phone - SE W810i.

I'm bored.. arrhhh....

Overall comment:

Morning ceremony was too dragging and kind of 'long winded'.

Songs was good, related/tide to the wedding ceremony and everyone knows how to sing.

Musicians was well prepared.

P.A systems not in tuned, properby the P.A guy was sleeping I guest.

Flash presentation, this one I love the most!! Must consult him how to do such nice flash movie telling their romantic love story.

The new couple gave a very touch speach to thanks their parents.

Photo taking section was abit confuced, coz some of their relatives didn't know what to do.

Wedding dinner's venue was middle upper class, but too crowded. I guess they under estimate the guests attendance.

Food was normal, so & so lor ...

Atmostphere was good, people are enjoying themselves too.

P/S: Their honeymoon was 4 days 3 night in Hong Kong & Shen Zhen. My ideal honeymoon will be spending 1 week tour in Spain, especially my all time favourite - Barcelona!! Oh Yeah!

D' Hati ?

2007-02-12T02:01:00.000+08:00

It's was one hot sunny afternoon. I was driving pass one of the shopping mall in old klang road. The light turns red, and I’m the 1st car stopped in front of the traffic light. While waiting for the green light, both my eyes was busying scanning around the neighbourhood and guess what I’ve spotted? OMG!! Jaya Jusco has changed name to ... what ... D'Hati ?? What a "nice name"!

It's pronounced as "D-hati"

Went home and hop into my working studio begin to search for D’Hati from the net. Oh…lucky it’s not Jaya Jusco changing the name, it’s J-One.
Aeon to invest RM6mil in three D’Hati stores
From J-One to D'Hati

BTW, is D'Hati like sort of lower class version of Jusco? Will other Jusco be gradually changing their name as well? Hmm, I wonder...

Nah! Who cares! As long as it won’t affect me enjoying myself shopping at Jusco in this festival season.
