Phuket Trip 2015 - Part 2

Waking up to a view where you can see lovely buildings and shops facing the sea is maybe what some would die for, like mentioned, to live...is to explore. 

Bulan Puasa Sudah Tiba

Its the fasting month for the Muslims. When it comes to the Holy Fasting month, for Muslims, its a month where you take a deep look into what you have done over the entire year since the last Ramadan, a month where they give more than taking, having those less fortunate in mind and also those in need.

What about those non-Muslims?

It is the berbuka time that we are all been waiting for. *no offense, but that's rather the truth*

5 benefits of Walking Your Dog!

1) You get to improve your own health!

People are very health cautious nowadays, exercise how many hours la, what kind of diet is good for body, eat green, so on and so forth. But little does people know that, walking actually a pretty good exercise. You do not have to pay for the expensive gym that you do not know how many times you would get to visit within that month, so walk your dog and improve your health!

2) You get to see the neighborhood

Living in a city for a few years now had taught me quite a few things, one of it is the close-feeling that you have between the neighbors. In the city, you don't really get people standing at the gate and talking about the next "lorong" some other aunties, but in the smaller town, like the one which I am from, often you see that happen every now and then, some it's like, everyday. So, walking your dog gets you to go around your neighborhood and have a look. You will get to see houses that have tight security, some house with nice cars and others, so somehow all these will give you a rough idea on what your neighborhood looks like, eh?

3) Bonding time with your furkids

Life expenditure of dogs are about 10 to 15 years time only, that is like 20% of normal human being life. So think about it, it is really pretty short only. While we are busy working and earning something to feed ourselves, feed our family and also the furkids, they are just staying at home and waiting for us to play with them, to have time with them, to have a walk with them. take some time, maybe half an hour, just half an hour, just to have time with them, take them for a walk, even for a short time, it means a lot for them...

4) Get time to think about your life

You know about the shower thoughts eh? Where you shower and think about life, work, career, relationship, family and so on. Shower is wasting water, why do your part of saving water, saving planet earth and walk your dog(s). You can actually think quite a lot too! And looking at it, the more you think about life...the longer you are walking them, win-win situation no?

5) Chicks dig man walking dogs ;)
This segment does not need to be elaborated, that's it. CHICKS DIG MAN WALKING DOGS. *this post obviously is for girls, so girls reader get 4 benefits only, lol*

Died on...(Birth date)

First of all, again...apologies, millions of them, extremely sorry for the late post, it would definitely affect many for this blog, but I just could not have my hands off for my job for one slight moment, with many things to catch up and so many other things to learn after resigning from the previous one, months later then I get to update, *itupun dalam office*

Alright, let's move on with I wanted to post for today.

Died on...

Keep calm everyone, no one pass away, at least not people around me...so ya...it's again something interesting, err...what should we name it, trend? findings? something so, on Google. Yes, that huge, multi-million corporate which everyone knows about what it is.



So usually you would search something that you either need for your work or school or just random stuff on it right? and Google also came out with a lot more fun things that you can do with your search word, for example, you can tilt your screen, during Christmas time, you can let your desktop snows and so on, ya?

This is another thing, perhaps not from Google itself, but you can seem to have fun finding out who you are during your past life, eh eh? Yes, you guessed it right, type in "died on (your birthdate) and Walahhh! The first person that pops up in your search list, that is your past life, so...let it begin...

My another half, found her 'past life' quite interesting, with people related to him, related to me, how she died and explain some of her current situation and stuff, so yea...try it!

So, Alfred Pellan, I was...

Taiwan. Part I.

The trip was about, roughly a month ago, due to the crazy hectic timing of Chinese New Year, hence there is insufficient time to put things up, so here are some photos and things you might wanna know.

Well, that is not the first photo that I took, nope, that is roughly what our trip is all about, as in, you know...most of the journey. Here is the case, we stay right in the middle of the night street market of Shilin where, all the locals and also foreigners will gather here to get 2 things.

1) Cheap and good stuffs
2) Good food

Selfie, its a legit word

As the title says, selfie, it is a legit word, well it is legit when Oxford approved it right? 

They called it, mirror selfie. Selfie means you take a picture of yourself, and yes, mirror is you take a picture of your reflection of a mirror. Simple as that. Well, according to Oxford, they gave the word "Selfie"s origin is from Australia when they first used it in a forum on 2002.

Well, many teenagers are good with their selfie techniques nowadays, but DO YOU KNOW? actually the first selfie was not recently? Here...

That is Robert Cornelius in the year 1839, now you do the math, how long was that ago? DAYUM long!

But nahh, I know that is no one's interest...here are maybe some of your interest

Owh, yes that is Nicki Minaj's with nip sticker, thank you!

And this, ladies and gentlemen, the most powerful selfie of all time, it was not long ago before this post.

That three people that you are looking at, are United States' President, UK's PM and also Danish's PM. Large countries' leaders. Well, I guess some of us knew this happen during Mandela's funeral. and for those who can't take this, you can sleep in the cave, sitting for nearly four hours of not doing much, leaders can get bored too, and Mandela is such a great person, would he mind over such act? It is just a picture no? I would stop my further comment now.

Have a good day, and here is the holiest selfie! :)

POPE FRANCIS' can do it too! :)

Are you more than 5 years old?

Key facts

• 6.6 million children under the age of five died in 2012.
• More than half of these early child deaths are due to conditions that could be prevented or treated with access to simple, affordable interventions.
• Leading causes of death in under-five children are pneumonia, preterm birth complications, birth asphyxia, diarrhoea and malaria. About 45% of all child deaths are linked to malnutrition.
• Children in sub-Saharan Africa are about over 16 times more likely to die before the age of five than children in developed regions.

Preterm birth, intrapartum-related complications (birth asphyxia or lack of breathing at birth), and infections cause most neonatal deaths. From the end of the neonatal period and through the first five years of life, the main causes of death are pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria. Malnutrition is the underlying contributing factor in about 45% of all child deaths, making children more vulnerable to severe diseases.

(credit all goes to WHO official site)

If you are more than 5 years old now, please, halt for a moment, if you got the time, say a lil' prayer to thank your parent for doing a great job into taking good care of you, to raise you what you are today! I believe there is a prayer from every religion for our awesome parents.

As for this, do finish watching the video from Lifebuoy, they did one great job!

Faith in Humanity restored!

It's another month gone since I last write something here. Many apologies for that!

Well, let's get going to what I wanted to write about, alright, human had been around on earth for many years, some believe man actually had walked to earth with dinosaur many years back, some believe we exist after the dinosaur era. One thing for sure, we had been here long enough!

The famous evolution process by scientist Darwin. That we are type of monkey and evolve to cope with our environment into what we are today. Evolution takes process even now, for we need to change to blend into weather, the environment, situation of place that we stay, that is why there are different skin color!

But apart from physical changes, mental and spiritual changes had also take place in our daily life. Many years ago, some prefer war to solve issues, causing deaths.

Some still prefer it today but not as bad as what it used to be I suppose.

#justsaying

Apart from war, actually human starts to behave negatively in normal life, kids do not helped out their parents as much anymore, they stay in their room and stick to their electronic devices. Young men do not helped old ladies to open door or blind men cross the road anymore, all that we learned in morale class is not been executed in normal lifetime. Which that is a very sad case.

Although all around us, many bad things had popped out and show us there are not many good youngsters, actually there are still some...check the video out.

Now, he thinks that the world could be better just that, can we now change the world? 

A Story to Share

The Story goes like this,

Once there was an old man with a boy bringing a donkey into town to be sold for some money. As they were walking out, there was a decent merchant saw them walking with the donkey, 

So he said, "why such a fool? When there is a donkey to ride but you walk with the transport?"

So the old man and the boy thought riding the donkey was a better idea, so hop on and they continue their journey, not far from where they met the previous merchant, they saw a lady carrying plants on her head,

She said, "what a terrible animal abuse! Burdening a poor donkey with two human!"

So the old man and the boy came down and think maybe only one person should ride the donkey. So the old man told the young boy to stay on the donkey as they continue their journey. Few more kilometers, they met a young, attractive lady,

She said, "what a disrespectful lad! Riding the donkey instead of giving the old man the privilege!"

Embarrassed by such statement, the boy came down and told the old man to ride the donkey as he continue on foot, so came to another point, where they met a nomad, and again,

He said, "An old man, wise of experienced does not pity the kid who is walking on his foot?" 

So, here is the thing, they had did all, riding together, riding one by one, not riding the poor donkey, but still, there is people who are not satisfied with what we do, so it is sufficient when we had did our best, cause that is all that matters! Happy Wednesday!

Akira...Akira Toriyama

I would say, people who doesn't know any of the characters in the image have no childhood, like not at all. More than 10 years I would say, this program was air on Malaysia national tv, I could not remember the exact time but it was evening, after dinner time and I would say many kids will patiently wait in front of the television screen and feeling excited about what is gonna happen next to the monkey boy...Son Goku, in DRAGON BALL.

All these characters are familiar to many of us, we recall their background, whom they trained with, where are they from, what are they great at and some even changed our point of view at things. This all thanks to one person, the creator, Akira Toriyama.

Mr Toriyama,the creator of Dragon Ball (1984), also Dr Slump (1980) is recognized as a manga-world changing comic artist, selling over 230 million copies of Dragon Ball world wide, he is definitely a guy worth every salute. And he who just celebrate his 58th birthday yesterday, I would represent many thanking him to make our childhood special.

I felt terrible

Life is all good, too good when I had start working and being absorb into the working life whereby most of the time you work, and when you don't work, you sleep, yes...that type. 

But it ain't gonna happen! I am back! I can't let people who read goes off like that...alright...here is something interesting to share with you guys.

Alright, I am sure you guys know who is that typical Asian look guy right? In case you don't know, he is Kendrick Kang-Joh Jeong or better known as Ken Jeong...or Dr. Ken. No...seriously DOCTOR.

Yes people, that is not an edit, that is Ken...my point of bringing this guy in the topic today is because, this freaking ridiculous guy here, crazy if you already watched Hangover, whereby he shows his private part like its pretty normal, finished high school at 16 years old and graduated from medical school at 24 years old. YES PEOPLE...he is a genius...but yet...he chose to be a comedian instead.

I ain't gonna say a lot, but just let the quote take it away...

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life" -Confucius. 

The Real Life SuperHero

Everybody admires one Superhero, from various comics, there are wonderful, but bare in mind, they are merely fantasies...

Fantastic, know most of them? Well, I bet some of you guys do, well, what about we talk about WOMAN superhero today..

Oppps...sorry if I got that in your head...*you dirty minded!* That is indeed one BIG hero

Highest Paid Footballers

Well, many had mentioned that footballers are being overpaid, when they compare them to those unsung heroes like fire fighters, police force or even medical field officers like doctors. But I do wanted to state that, these people are, talented people and they entertain everyone of us, without entertainment I would say that all those daily heroes would be bored therefore leads to a dull life, aint so?

Well, you think about it, when I put these infos up, Highest paid footballers. Off and on field, through his wages and also their sponsorship as revealed by France Football.

Lionel Messi (Barcelona) - RM 134.535 million.

Farewell, 2011...and those we lost

Its already coming to the end of the year 2011. Many things had happen LIFE...throughout the whole year, there are ups and downs for everybody I suppose. and here I do wanna sincerely apologize for everything that had happen throughout the year if I ever offended any readers through the post or by any other form. *susun sepuluh jari* (I know its not Raya but you always can minta maaf anytime right? :P

Its Johnnie Walker, doing the Walking again!

Johnnie Walker, the world’s leading Scotch Whisky and the number one whisky in Malaysia is back again! This time, promised, more happening! Because this time, Johnnie Walker brings to you a VIP race party for a first time, FIRST TIME in PENANG!

JOHNNIE WALKER®, the world’s number one Scotch whisky and the market leader in Malaysia will continue the iconic and successful series of glamorous Black Circuit race parties by launching the first event of its kind in Penang. Exclusively for loyal JOHNNIE WALKER® fans, aficionados and society high flyers, the BLACK CIRCUIT PENANG will whisk guests into the luxurious lifestyle of international motorsport on Thursday, August 25th at a secret location to be revealed only days before the party.

JOHNNIE WALKER® is offering Malaysian bloggers an exclusive opportunity to be part of the privileged few to experience the high-flying lifestyle enjoyed by McLaren Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.

I drink responsibly is because I take drinking seriously, that is the main point, drinking is a big part of my life, leading a busy social life means drinking is a big yet essential part of life, but without life itself, there is no drinking at all, to live another day, simply means that, you, me, and everybody else could drink another tasteful and joyful sip of the world no.1 leading Scotch whiskey, Johnnie Walker. Came to think about the happening and happy moment enjoying Johnnie Walker back in the event at Palace of Golden Horses earlier this year.

 I told myself, I would definitely be back for more, that’s why I appreciate everyday of that waiting more than I could, therefore leading to drinking responsibly, by living nearby or taking cab back after drinking, even though one is not even near to the tipsy level.

For the part of influencing people around me in taking the message, “Never Drink and Drive” seriously, I remind them every moment when we are chilling with alcohol around, I told them the story of how my friends died tragically in car crash due to alcohol influence, and I end it with, “I want more and more friends to drink with in the future, not less and less”. I never failed to tell them for I take it seriously, I want them to enjoy drinking, responsibly.

Johnnie Walker is the global partner of Formula One team VMM since 2005 because they both share the values of innovation, winning and leadership.

This, time, packed with 600D in luggage as coverage camera, guaranteed readers more pictures for eyes' pleasures. :) 

last but not least, people... "DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!"

Drawing for 20 years

Mike once said, "If a picture speaks a thousand words, then a video speaks a novel (which in later days changed to Google)" Therefore I posted up a video next showing a guy with incredible PATIENCE, well, I do not know about you guys, but for me I really SALUTE this guy to the max! Everybody know this guy:-

Poker

Poker, a game, combination of luck, skills and psychology. History and everything else is referable in Wikipedia so I would not write anything about that, a short yet simple one, it is worth a try and if you never did learn how to play, do try, you can start learning with no money involve, there are plenty of version in Facebook, either it is hold'em or any other kind, just look for it online, you can challenge other players worldwide.

But it is nothing compare to the real life poker involving real hard-cold-cash. Well, do learn how to control too for it might be 'hurtful' at the end of the day, when you learn you have nothing left in pocket. :) As I mentioned in the beginning of the post, poker is a combination of luck, skills and psychology, you need all those mindset, and strategy to win, poker is unlike Black Jack which 90% of it depends on luck. Even you have a bad hand of cards, you may win the pot. Trust me, every poker players know this.

But honestly speaking, there is this one type of poker which I never get to play, even I might have the chance, I might not have the guts to play, which is :) The Strip Poker!
