sometimes you have to let go to see if there was anything worth holding on to

twenty ten has been quite a roller coaster ride. there were times where i was up in the air happy and free, and there were times where i just wanna sink to the deep ocean. most of the time, i just wanna sink and not float back to reality. as much as i look forward to twenty eleven, twenty ten flies in a blink of an eye. my twenty ten started off good with trip to Johor and Singapore. then it got better, i learned to cook roast chicken, went to Melaka with the girls, weddings, birthday parties, trip to Melaka again, business trip to Korea, Hassan was born, diving trip to Perhentian and Cebu Island, and many more good memories i had with the girls and family to remember. in between all that... some things i wish it never happened. i lost my bestfriend of 10 years, lost my tonsil, my excess skin in my nose, lost my luggage to some stupid thief, lost my favorite cigarette pouch, lost my Christmas gift, send off my bestfriend to Melbourne. twenty ten is definitely not my year. 16 hours fro

just jump!

4 more days to the end of 2010. so many things happened this year that i can't even remember anymore, or choose not to remember. this year has definitely not been my year. although i managed to tick most of my resolution that i made early of this year, there were so many challenges that came along the way. i almost gave up and wanted to waive the white flag. i somehow managed to overcome it with a little bit of luck and a lot of praying to God. it's not how bad your fall and hurt yourself, it's how brave and strong you are to carry yourself back up and move forward. (cheh cheh, i think i copied from a website) just like bungy jumping, which i was crazy enough to do. once you're up there at 21m, you just have to be brave and jump. whatever happens next, happens. whether half of your body gets dipped in the pond water (ewww, yucks!) or your head spins like a washing machine on tumble dry mode you have to face it and give credit to yourself that you did it. im very hap

ho ho ho!

like many years before, 1st January is the day where i'll start my new resolution. for this year, let's flashback to Friday, 1st January entry. 2010 has finally arrived. This year's resolution: 1.

Travel at least 1 international & 3 domestic destination. Singapore, Philippines, Melaka, Johor and Pulau Perhentian 9. Scuba dive at least 3 destination. hahahah! Philippines and Pulau Perhentian 10. Read more books. 11. Buy a house :) so, the only item i'm going to carry forward is to buy a house. i almost bought a house but realised i didn't want to settle down at Shah Alam. i might just b

long overdue post. last month me and my dive buddy, amoi went to cebu island for my closing 2010 diving trip. not knowing anything about that island, we followed eric's schedule and plan. cebu pacific air was alright. wasn't what i expected, maybe because i was expecting the stewardess to dance through the safety procedure briefing (saw that on youtube) pre-traveling has always been my least favourite part. the mess you have to go through before getting to the fun part. blurgghh! messy and horrible. once we got on the island, everything falls into places. the diving was superfun! accommodation was pretty scary and basic. after all, we only paid less than $10 per day. diving with turtle was the highlight of the trip. of course i enjoyed taking pictures of the lionfish, nudis and others but never that i imagined i would be swimming 10m underwater with a turtle. mandarin fish was also part of the great experience. it's not always that we get to see mandarin fish because the

i wish i could turn back time and undo the damage i've done in the past take back all the harsh words i said that i didn't mean to say think of the consequences before making any decisions. having said all that, i do wish that next year will be better than this year i know next year will be better than this year. 23 days to the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011. although technically, in islamic calendar yesterday marks the new year. salam maal hijrah 1432. may this new year brings happiness and joy to all of us. :)

for almost 2 years i did an analyst job for the company i worked for. although i kinda hate the anal work that i have to do, it definitely had thought me a lot. attention to detail, read between the lines and also graph presentations (which i dreaded everytime i have to do it). sometimes i miss my analysis work. today is one of the days. from the picture above and some of the number crunching analysis, the findings of my analysis are focus on my readers: 47.5% from Kuala Lumpur 30% from Petaling Jaya 10% from London 7.5% from Indonesia 2.5% from New York 2.5% from Selangor Kuala Lumpur & Petaling Jaya readers' ISP's: 35% - Telekom 12.5% - Time 12.5% - Celcom 7.5% - International Islamic University 5% - Petronas 2.5% - Maxis 2.5% - Packet One 2.5% - Vads London readers' ISP's: 7.5% - Sky Broadband 2.5% - Petgas UK Trading Limited Others 5% - Research in Motion 2.5% - Google, from New York 2.5% - Texas Instruments Browser: 30% - Chrome 22.5% - Firefox 12.5% - Safari 3
