忠义为本 仁善是源

A Toy from the Past

Hello, guys, I havent write for a very long time now. For the past few months, I have been busy with my thesis, looking for jobs, thinking over of the choices that I made, but yeah, mostly those that what people undergo everyday and on the last Saturday, I had my convocation and now I've graduated. Well, okay, that's that.

Now, if you know me a decade ago, you probably know that I'm one of the many who enjoy playing Pokemon, Digimon, Ragnarok Online, Tamiya mini 4WD, and Beyblade. In fact, I still love them until now. You may ask why I love them so much. To put it in a simple word, they are very much simply fun to play.

This post will be very much about Beyblade. I'm a hardcore Beyblade player and a collector. I simply enjoy assembling them and putting them on battles but I always ended up heartache, not because I lost most of my rounds but when I saw my Beyblades distorted as a result of those fierce battles. They were made in plastics by the way, so you can expect it to have nibs and cracks at every corner of the Beyblade itself or stickers, simply fall off from it. As time went on, my Beyblade spirit had slowly went dormant but that doesnt mean I would lose my interest in them. I collected mainly those Beyblades that were used by the main protagonists- Takao, Max, Rei, and Kai in the anime. Especially Takao's Beyblades, his bit beast is known as Dragoon/ Green Dragon, its name was given after the four celestial creatures in Feng Shui that amused me the most. After all, dragon is often portrayed as a cool and powerful being in any place. To my best knowledge back in 10 years ago, the Dragoon Beyblade series ended in the GT but I only had it until Dragoon G. It was very unfortunate that when Dragoon GT was released when the era of (plastics) Beyblade was coming to an end, and therefore, Dragoon GT wasnt released in Malaysia. And I couldnt do anything about it since I dont possess a credit card to buy it online. I still remembered those days that I would go online just to look at Dragoon GT, you know the Chinese proverb "望梅解渴". Having say that you are probably thinking that the toy that I'm referring to in this post is pointed to Dragoon GT. Well, I'm sorry to say that your guess is wrong. Hahahaa!

After a very long introduction, now, I'm going to do it in a video form. I hope you enjoy it. =D

I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.

New Year 2013

Every year there are people who give too much importance on the shaping of the kind of footprints they would leave behind on the shores of time to ensure their marks in history. But be they footprints of the learned or of the unlearned, the tides of time are no respecter of footprints. For every time the tides visit the shores, the waves of change that they bring will simply wash away whatever marks there are on the sands.

Therefore as this year ends, whatever footprints this year may be leaving on the shores of time, be they good and/or bad, leave them to the waves of change and let us all embrace the dawning of another new year, holding on firmly to the assurance that the Lord will continue to sustain us throughout the next year and the years to come.

Consider a year as just a very long day and a new year as just another new day so that whatever may had been and whatever will be, still it is always worthwhile to thank the Lord, because his love and mercy, which sustain us every day, are new each day.

Have a blessed new year everyone.

Regards,

SY Leong

Memories

Every person passing through this life will unknowingly leave something and take something away. Most of this “something” cannot be seen or heard or numbered or scientifically detected or counted. It’s what we leave in the minds of other people and what they leave in ours. Memory. The census doesn’t count it. Nothing counts without it.

Butter-Fly

After an endless dream, in this miserable world  

That's right, maybe not using common sense isn't so bad after all  

Even with these awkward wings, dyed with images that seem to stay  

I'm sure we can fly, on my love...

Reality of Fear

That really makes my day

And this really made my day! I can't stop laughing...

Special thanks to Cai Yi and Lynn

I just love seeing how people lied in front of me when I know the answer... =D

P/S: Owh, and even the purest person that I know, has been keeping secrets from me...

Time begins to move again...

Your hand was warm from your fever...

When I held it, it got sweaty...

I felt alive...

I felt that I could live on...

From the bottom of my heart, I was glad I came home...

Let's keep on riding...

carrying the important things along.

The future beyond control...

The insecurity...

The doubts...

The feeling beyond reach...

The dream that can't be realised...

The self that can't throw everything away...

And the days won't give answers...

I'll...

but I no longer hear that sound...

I think I can go on believing ...

The thing that day we searched for but couldn't find...

Maybe someday...

For sure...

Engineer

"An engineer is a special breed of people who is hired to solve the problem faced by the company. If there isn't any problem, there isn't engineer. Therefore, everything starts with problems" Quoted by Zulkaflee Yaacob.

A temporary stop

People come and people go

And you know she won't stay yet you have spent the most of the time to make good use of the time available for both of you. It is very naive for me to ask someone to stay longer. Yes, I'm naive...

我真的佷伤心。。。

This is the End

After today's phone call, I finally knew what's my position is. I've decided, rather than staying there hanging in my own delusion, I'm going to call for a halt. That's how it should be...

Thanks for the memories...

EXeLD Scarecrow

Its beautiful when two strangers become best friends, but sad when two best friends become strangers...

They all said "Hallo" and felt awkward and unhappy suddenly, because it was sort of a goodbye they were saying, and they didn't want to think about it. So they stood around and waited for someone else to speak, and they nudged each other, and said "Go on"...

It's astonishing to me how two people who once knew each another so intimately can suddenly become like strangers. In fact, that was probably one of the most unnerving things about them. I watched as they grew more and more distant and soon it was like they were roommates. It reached a point where they were no longer talking anymore...just existing. It was then that I realized they were close to the end of their friendship. And I couldn't do a single thing about it.

This is tough to swallow, but it's crazy to see them act like strangers when you've watched them together for almost 2 years. Sometimes I look at pictures of them and can hardly believe they were ever even together. Things are so different now and they're so far removed from one another. In some ways it feels like they were never friends but in other ways it feels strange that they're not. Does that even make any sense? I still pinch myself sometimes to see if this is all a joke. And everytime I have a dream about them along with me are together. Maybe my subconcious hasn't quite accepted it all yet.

There have been times where I want to shake both of them and shout, "You were once good friends! You once gave a damn about one another! Don't you have any of those feelings left anymore?" But then I remember that they were dysfunctional together and that watching two people lose touch with one another is not a life I want to see among my realm of close friends. I want to see them happy. And if that's not back to how it was, then I guess I'll have to learn to deal.

Were things strange for you when your friends began acting like strangers? Did something indecent happened between them? Or maybe they had a smooth transition and make an effort to become how they were before they met each other. Either way, they're not together as they once were and that's just weird.

And with this, I dedicate it to whomever reading this...


All I want in this life is to matter to somebody like you matter to me and to change somebody's life like you have changed mine. I want to be the kind of person that somebody can count on, the kind that somebody always knows will know just what to say. I want to be as special to somebody - someday - as you have been to me each and every day

Yours faithfully,
An Unhappy Man

Regrets

Man's feelings are always purest and most glowing in the hour of meeting and of farewell. Goodbyes are always sad, and perhaps that is why Russians hate using the word goodbye as a parting word, instead they just say “see you again”. Sad goodbye quotes are based on occasions which are like the farewell party at school, the parting from childhood place and people who have been with you all the past years. True goodbyes are the ones never said or explained.

My Lovely Daughter

And there is my lovely daughter. She's wearing the earrings that Eugene and I bought for her the other day in Malacca. Lovely, yes? And I do not take NO as an answer, naturally. Hah, your dad does have good eyes of choosing those for you, looks perfect on her (narcissism attacks!!!)... Oh, did I mentioned that doggie that she's caressing over her left cheek, that was another present that Tan, Charlotte, and I got for her in Jogja.

Jogja

Dont really know what to say about this place but let the picture does the talking...
