Happy Brithday To Me!

My pandan flavour birthday cake

Well, today is the 22nd years which i am borned as a human! Means I am 22 years old already! Gosh!

As exam is around the corner, I did not have any huge birthday party for myself this year, however, i still feel happy as i managed to receive a lot of birthday wishes both physically and intangibly from my friends. Bellow are the list of wishes i got before or on my birthday:

1. On 8 of March i received 5 birthday cards all the way from my friends in Malaysia. They are my beloved friends whom i knew since primary school, they are: Cheap Nee,Da Tou, Kemo, Kam Mei, Jee San and MC (on the way). Bravo to their tremendous efforts, although my friend, Da tou, bought me a "get well soon" card instead of a birthday card. - _ - . I hereby use this opportunity to express my appreciation to Cheap Nee for spreading the news around my friends in Malaysia which i reminded her to do so, few weeks ago. She had indeed done a great job.

Wishes around the world, could you identify which one is yours?

2. On the same day, my beloved friend surprised me with the first birthday present when we were having lunch in China town.

My first present, Yeng or not!

3. On the 9 of March, 12pm, besides receiving a lot of greetings on Msn, my two lovely housemate, Derrick and Jin, surprised me with a huge lovely birthday cake, together with a live birthday song sang by them. During the mini-celebration, mimi and thong joined us through the online conference where they later gave me a giant birthday card plus 2 marvelous presents! Special thanks to them! I really like the presents very much!

4. On the 10th, I managed to get more birthday wishes from Msn by me nudging my online friends with threat. Further, i received a postcard from Australia by Ke Xiou, my SAM friend + karaoke partner whom i gave my UK address last week to give her a hint that my birthday is coming soon.

5. On the same day, my 2 housemates, Derrick, Jin insisted to bring me out for a dinner for a second round celebration. We then went to a Taiwanese restaurant which Tong recommended. I swear the food was just too awesome. Special thank to Derrick for accompany us despite he got exam tomorrow. Good luck Derrick.

Awesome Taiwanese food!!!


They got O Jian too! Yum

Thanks for the dinner!

6. Finally, just before my birthday ended, I received a song from a friend. It was a piano birthday song she invented and played in live. My heart nearly melt when i was listening to it. Thank god my heart did not actually melt, if not.....choi!

Birthday surprise!

That's all for my 22nd birthday. Besides wishing to pass my Bar exam, i hope all my family and friends will always stay healthy and happy. Thank you guys for all the wishes and presents, I really appreciate them very much!

Obviously, most of my birthday wishes are not obtained through violence and threat!

民主的胜利！

民主斗士加巴星，林吉祥

在野党在这次选举不但守住丹州，更一举攻陷了槟，吉，霹，雪四州， 成功否决国阵在国会三分之二的国会议席，真是可喜可贺。身为槟城人的我，更是为民主行动党得以在槟州执政，感到无比兴奋与骄傲，这真是民主迟来的胜利呀！

恭贺林冠英为新任槟州首席部长，左为其父林吉祥，右为郭素心。

这此选举充分显示了马来西亚各个民族对政府的不满与愤怒，对于国阵长期对人民压迫，马来西亚人民终于用手中的一票对国阵大大声说: Enough is enough! 五年前，人民赋予国阵九十巴仙的国会议席，把国阵带到天堂，可惜，五年来国阵政府只手遮天，行政，司法滥权与贪污案不断上演，油价，物价连连上涨，巫统举剑等事件，弄得民怨沸腾，民不聊生。国阵从天堂到地狱的惨败下场可谓咎由自取，自取灭亡。我想此次选举结果应该可掛醒我们沉睡中的首相，如他再不觉醒，痛定思过，下次不但会再失州政权，就连中央政权也会拱手让人。

巫统大会，睡一睡。



内阁会议也睡。




国际会议又睡。。。到底几时才要醒。。。。

在此我希望呼吁在野党，此次的选举结果虽已结束，但它更意味着责任的开始。在野党应把国阵的所做所为当作借镜，切记忽重倒他们的覆辙，辜负人民对你们的期望。如在野党 辜负人民，人民会再次用选票把你们赶下台！这就是民主的力量！

民主，民主，人民作主！

DAMNNN IT!

DAMN it! Today i just had my 6th exam out of 12! I seriously screwed it man! I am really preparing for the worst! Which is failing it! It is going to be my first time over my 4 years law study! The consequence of failing it is even worst! It means i will not be able to graduate in July! Damn it! Haizzzzz.

What to do! i can blame the lack of time in doing the question, i can blame the incapability of my lecturer in teaching me .... but i chose not to, because i know the i am the one that should be blamed. If i were to put more efforts in it things will be different, so i am the sole cause of the possible failure.

Anyhow, what has been done is done. I just need to accept the true fact, face it, solve it and then let it be! Just don't allow myself to repeat the mistake again. Moreover there is still hope! Cos the result is not out yet! Even if i failed, i still can resit the paper and graduate in October instead of July! So it is not the end of the world! So people, do pray for me!

Dedicate the following song to myself: Home, Michael Buble



Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believe in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

Guan Yin ma, Let me go home....

He squeezed my cheek!

Yes, the guy who just squeezed my cheek was Sir Ian Mckellen!

Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings

It all begins by me and Derrick joining Jin's dining session in Inner Temple. I wrinkled up my forehead in perplexity when people around me started to shout that Sir Ian Mckellen is here, having drinking session with us before the dining started. It was quite shameful for me for not knowing him before i actually saw him. My immediate reaction after seeing him was like: Ohh!! the X men guy!!

Me and My Housemate, Jin taken during dining.

During dining, I actually recalled from the conversation I had with my friends that the character he acted in X men is called "Magneto" and of course he is also famous of acting as "Gandalf" in the Lord of the Rings.

Sir Ian McKellen as Magneto in X-Men 3

I swear he was just sitting behind me which my friends, derrick and Nori had direct, full view of him for the whole night! He was then asked by the Master Treasurer to give a speech which he then acted a Shakespeare play. Well, although he looks like an ordinary man in reality and i didn't really know what he was acting, but still, I must admit that his acting was just too stunning!

Evidence showing that he was just sitting behind me.

The best part had yet to come! After dining, we approached him to express our admiration towards him which he kindly responded to us. He shaked our hands ( his hand was quite thick), gave autograph to one of my friends, Kim and even hug my housemate, Jin!! ( I am sure that Jin will spend her whole life talking about it). He then went out to have a smoke.

People were trying to approach him, but few with success.

When we were preparing to go home excitedly, he re-enterred the hall again and walked pass us. When he was walking pass me, he suddenly holds out both of his hands and squeezed my cheek tightly! It was so unexpectedly! It was indeed the highlight of the night. Thanks to Jin, without her invitation i would not be squeezed by him!

I think i will be famous soon. See me in X-men 4!

Why Should I Vote?

Many apologies to my “Blog’s Fanz” for not constantly updating my blog. It is very obvious that I once again failed to fight against the my lazy evilness. As the Malaysia’s general election is around the corner, it is time to talk about politics, something young adult, like you may not interested in.

Many of my friends know I like politics, some even ask me whether I will join politics in the future. Well, I can tell you firmly that the answer will be a negative one. I believe a person need to have passion for it, it is not simply a passion to be a politician, but a strong passion to serve the people and the nation. Yes, I know is bullshit, but this is what most the politicians use as a slogan for their election campaign. It is a public secret that most of Malaysia politicians, even some of the opposition MPs, fail to do so. Pointing at the polluted drainage which subsequently appear in the newspaper is what most of the politicians' regarded it as a way to serve the people and nation. Of course, I am definitely not going to be one of them man. Thus, despite the fact that I love politics, becoming a politician is not my cup of tea, not because I do not have passion to be a politician, but simply because I do not possess the true quality which a politician should have, i.e. the sincerity and the passion to serve the people and the nation. This is also one of the reasons i decided to be a superstar instead.

Restaurant, café, Kompitiam are places where most of the people express their view in politics after having their meal. They often complain about the government on how they ill-treated them, some of them even went on to critic the opposition for their inability to solve their problems. Nevertheless, from what I observed, those people especially young adult hardly come out to vote on the Election Day, simply because they strongly believe that their one single vote would not make a huge difference in the election. Well, this is absolutely untrue! Even if the party or the politician you supported did not win in the end, it still means a lot for them. A winning MP will tend to show greater assiduity in "serving the people" if he won the election by 5 votes as supposed to 5000 votes. Therefore, you should not underestimate your vote, and of course not a single one!

Cherish the single vote you have that will make a change.

Obviously, the purpose of posting this article, is not aimed to ask you to vote for whoever politician or whatever political party, it is simply aimed to encourage you to fulfil your responsibility as a citizen and to exercise your right to vote which this democratic country granted you. This could be the only chance in five years time for you to make a change and make a minor contribution to your beloved country. Of course, you have the discretion not to vote, however, if you decided to do so, please be reminded that you should not make any comment or complaint to the government or the opposition, simply because you have not make any effort in changing this country to be better.

Last but not least, please believe that your vote is valuable and as what U.S. Senator Barack Obama says: "We can! We can make a change! " when the American undermined his ability to be the Next and First Black American President.

Obama proves to the supporters that he can make a change, despite the American questioned his ability to be the Next American President.

Everything

Michael Buble - Everything lyrics

You're a falling star, You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.

And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.
Yeah, yeah

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
