Eng Tay's or May's

When you feel bored, you will think of something. So, I reached my pencil and start to scratch something on a peace of paper with a picture infront of me. The small stage where the lady is standing wasnt done nicely and I tried again but still the same ending. I leave the little stage like it was and I try to start from her feet and it still not a nice start. So, I started again from her dress at the back side to the head and only I got my rhythm. My pencil was moving fast and finished the job about 15mins. The original copy painted by Eng Tay. I am sorry Eng Tay, I modified the picture a bit. I made her with the skirt only and leave it nothing at the top.

Eng Tay was born and raised in Kedah, Malaysia. In 1968 he moved to New York City to study at The Art Students League, followed by graduation from The School Of Visual Arts in 1972 as a graphic designer. He worked in the graphic arts field until 1978, when he undertook several painting trips though out South America and Indonesia until 1980.

Tajuk: Kucing dan kereta Myvi
Label: Kisah Benar

Satu hari, saya keluar makan malam bersama kawan saya. Semasa dalam perjalanan ke tempat meletak kereta, tiba-tiba saya terlihat seekor kucing sedang bersantai atas kereta salah seorang kawan saya, tetapi bukan kereta kawan saya yang keluar bersama saya. Aksi duduk termenungnya sangat comel dan saya mencuba untuk mendekatinya untuk mengambil gambar dengan kedudukan yang strategik. Si kucing takut. Mungkin dia berfikir yang saya cuba menculik dia. Dia dengan muka curiganya beredar perlahan-lahan tetapi tetap di atas kereta itu. Saya mendekatinya lagi dengan harapan kucing itu memahami bahawa saya cuma ingin mengambil gambarnya sahaja. Dia tetap takut juga. Saya tetap berkeras untuk mengejarnya. Sebelum dia melompat terjun dari kereta itu, dia sempat berposing sikit untuk mengambil hati saya. Saya pun sangat gembira.

Vogue for Virtue Model Search [QueensBay Mall]

Baru-baru ni kami pergi ke Queensbay bersama kawan-kawan. We were rushing for movie [still got 20mins before the screening] but before that must find for food. We all hungry and we decided to go to KFC. On the way to KFC, tiba-tiba nampak orang sangat sibuk menonton sesuatu so kami pun menyertainya. Rupa-rupanya pertandingan apa pun tak tahu. They organised for the mall or magazine or cosmetics or TV show also not sure. So, dalam kesibukan mereka, saya dan kawan-kawan saya pergi la ikut kepoh-kepoh sambil tolak-tolak orang. Saya pun mahu lihat dari dekat juga. So, here some of the shots I got.

The Golden Triangle Restaurant

As the name implies, Golden Triangle is located north of Thailand bordering Burma in the west and Indochina in the east. Aptly as the restaurant’s name, the chefs are all from Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. As for James, his association in the Thai cuisine originated from Phuket, where his grandparent and parents runs a local restaurant there. It was James’ dream come through when he ventured into Thai restaurant business more than 8 years ago in Penang.

We went here during family dinner [CNY 2009] and it was a very pleasure moments enjoying all the tasty food and not to mention the place that just so cool and peace. The prices were reasonable and affordable but depends on what dishes you are going to order. You only need to have RM60 to RM100 in your wallet to have a very tasty food for 2 to 3 persons and at least RM150 for 6 persons. Just try it. Reward yourself once a month and its worth unless you are a very Kedekut type of person. Recommendation: Otak-otak in coconut fresh. Welcome to Penang babe, Food Paradise...Food Faradise.

Kuih Makmur

People call it kuih makmur, I call it kuih powder.

But still tasty and I like it, we like it, you will like it.

My I AM Poem

I am empty now but full with idea and curiosity
I wonder sometimes with everything
I hear a voice tells me something
I see a wonderful sight one day
I want to be happy and make people happy
I am still Me

I pretend to be someone strong
I feel like I am a superwomen
I touch my body from head to feet
I worry if I fall from all the dreams
I ask God why the sky higher than the clouds
And I ask myself why ask for more

I understand why sky always up there
I believe there is a reason for raining
I dream all the trees with green leaves
I trust everything that I believe in
I hope I could wish everything without condition
I am still here with reality

Nelson Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom

As recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, president of the African National Congress, and head of the antiapartheid movement, Nelson Mandela has been one of the world's great moral and political leaders. The story of his life-from the early development of his political consciousness to his evenful quarter century behind bars to his momentous victory in South Africa's first-ever multiracial elections-is an epic account of struggle, setback, renewed hope, and ultimate triumph.

Prisoner of Tehran

A heartbreaking memoir, survival of a woman, thriller of life, trial of faith and among our brothers and sisters from other religion, we still can see one heart shows his mercy and kindness when he put aside his religion pride for one moment to save others.

Cherry Blossom in Penang

A friend of mine sent this beautiful cherry blossom to me on March 13, 2009. I asked him if this true and he said, yes. A few weeks after that, I went for fellowship and my friend talked about this cherry blossom in Penang and I think all these pictures taken real exist in Penang, Malaysia.
I planned to go but you know, lots of work to do until the season passed. Hope there will be another season next year.

Satisfaction with Life Scale

Dr. Holden says the key to being happy is overcoming "destination addiction," which he defines as "living in the not-now."

"It's always about tomorrow, so you're chasing 'more,' 'next' and 'there,'" he says. "You promise yourself that when you get there, you'll be happy. And I promise you, you won't, because you'll always set another destination to go for."

Instead, Dr. Holden says if you are unhappy with your life or looking to improve your score, there are two things you can do. "We have to learn to let go of our past, we have to give up all hopes for a perfect past. Let the past go, it's gone." After that, he says, "Take a vow of kindness. Be kinder to yourself and to others.

"It's never too late to be happy," he says.

Share the laughter to others and we can share happiness each other.

31 Ways to Get Happy ---- for Free!

Everywhere we look these days there seems to be difficulty and trouble. Our world has become like a roller coaster in many ways. Prices are up, the Dow is down, grocery costs are rising, the dollars in our wallet are shrinking, heating oil is up, the temperature is falling. And although we feel hopeful, there are days when our spirits sink.

Words about money have penetrated our language. Words like debt, bankruptcy, downturn, deficit and depression are now used frequently with ease and familiarity. But, the money word I don't hear enough of is "change."

The truth is that most of us are dealing with the fallout of the financial crisis in one way or another. We are all in this together. We each have the power to move from awful to awe-filled. We can chose to focus on what we have instead of what we do not have, what are blessings are instead of our curses and what we kept as opposed to what we have lost.

There are lots of ways to bring joy, happiness, peace, laughter, hope and comfort into your life, and they cost absolutely nothing. They are free. There is no charge.

You Still Can Play Even You forgot your Shuttlecocks

I went for badminton today with my colleagues, with full of spirit and energy. We reached at the court around 9 something and we all keluarkan racket masing-masing baru noticed we don't even bring shuttlecocks... Haha, who's fault? [Of course my fault]. So, I was thinking to go out and buy some but lucky we saw lots of shuttlecocks at the wall. Lucky also we saw stuff like ladder and we managed to get some broken shuttlecocks and play. So, if this happen to you, see at the wall first before you decide to go out.

How do you feel when you were betrayed by the one you really love?

Might forgive him but time is still questionable. I'm not opting for revenge or such. But it do well hurts a lot. As they say...Time heals all wounds [Putting it all in my head].

Sometimes memories haunt you once in a while. That's why when love hurts you, the scar don't vanish over night, it takes a while. But do you believe that another love will heal a broken heart?

Yes perhaps. But for a freshly wounded heart, I think that another love won't be the immediate solution to that. Might be or it will be, as time goes by, wherein the pain does not rekindle anymore.

Betrayed by the person you really love huh? that really "sucks" ? . . and there's no way of scapin that kind of situation like running on an endless road and the pain just won't heal. damn, wish to die that moment when you heard the news, your mind goes blank and tears starts rollin down your cheeks. we often say that time would heal the broken hearts, but that aint true. cause no matter how you'd forgive that prson , how many times you'd spend laughin with someone else, pain just wont go away. dont know why..!!!


The degree of pain depends on how we were betrayed. maybe you were expecting too much, trusted your partner too much that now you're having a hard time coping up. remember that we are all just human beings, bound to make mistakes. nobody's perfect! [I really dont like this phrase 'Nobody's perfect'] beacause that's what people take as an excuse when they do mistake.

Revenge?...when you plan to get even with someone, you're only letting that person continue to hurt you. how do you think you could move on and let your pain heal when all you think about is the person who wronged you?...when we forgive, we are doing ourselves a favor more than the person who wronged us because we may heal right away, grow up as a person, and find true happiness. when we let go of our anger and hatred, peace will reign within ourselves.

It feels like shitter that the shittiest.It basically ruins our ability to trust...and over in your mind, you'll ask why?? and at the end (if there's such end to the feeling of hurt and pain) it'll either break you or...make you stronger as a person.

If you trully love the person, you'll forgive. But how if he do it again in future? Are you willing to forgive him again? Its either Love or Revenge will rules you.

Of course it hurts!Maybe it's the most hurting experience u would ever feel in ur entire life.Could u just imagine,the person u trusted,loved,cared and the last person u've thought would hurt u,betrayed u?But,that's the irony of life,things happen when we don't expect them.Move on,have a life! It's not the end of everything.Nothing is permanent in this world.Forgive?yes of course!Forget?no!Don't seek revenge because you'll hurt yourself the most!

Really sucks..I feel like i'd stop breathing and just die.

I will try to forgive at first and try my best to get it back. cuz did u ask urself why he will betray? If he really betray, must ask for the answer why? If he/she really betray me and really cant to be forgive, why keep on keeping the person which her/his heart not with you and if u really love her/him why dont chose to let her/him go, no point. Maybe next time she/he will betray u again and she/he will do the same thing again and again and again....!!!

Betrayal comes in many forms, but be it in the worse form, accept it for acceptance makes life easier for everyone...but make you suffer.

Forgive then love again.

It is going to take a loooong time before i could ever trust that person again. He has to earn my trust. I have the right to snoop around his belongings and ask him questions and he shouldn't have any problem with that even I know he is so smart to hide everything but my feeling helps me... he should understand what i'm going through.. if he doesn't, then he is not worth keeping. But what I want is, he keep away the girl from his life and let him love me again by his own willingness.

I'll forgive him and move on with my life.. But hey..its easier said than being done. It's not as simple as that. It really hurts when someone you really love and trust betrayed you for no good reason.

well, i would feel totally.............betrayed.

I cant breath, I suddenly stop breathing like your body cannot stand with pain and you fainted and 'I cant believe this' that's all in my mind. My hands suddenly flying to his face, I wish I could die that time, my body feels so light, no soul, no spirit, no feeling at all. That's the very high degree of painfulness until you cannot cry, no feeling, your head is empty, you feel your body so damn light, very light and you cant even speak.

You tell me if there is any other thing in the word more painful than the feeling of being betrayed by someone you love.
