It's been a see saw week and it ended pretty much as i have expected it to happen. Seen it coming 3 months or so before but there is nothing i could do. Lessons i learn in these testing time:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Always trust my instinct and gut feeling. </b></i><br />It has served me well in most cases and this time i actually ignored it and it really hurts....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>A leopard never changes its stripes</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A massive miscalculation on my side to think that people do change for the better</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Honesty is never always the best policy</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being too honest and direct is no match for ball polishing and being sneaky. Not to say i should be ball polishing or being sneaky</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Trust is a limited commodity</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Learning this the hard way that being to trusting is not the way to go.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Betrayal is always a doorstep away</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the most bitter of all lessons. <b> </b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you have given it your all from the beginning and to be on the receiving on the wrong end, broken promises, and being used by others for their own selfish means, it really hurts, it does. The pain of betrayal pierces me like a sword through the gut. Where have i gone wrong? Am i too naive and too trusting or I am just too inexperienced to handle these situations? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All the promises of support and assurances disappear into thin air.....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My contributions being belittled....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My failures picked upon......</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
while others benefit from my ideas.....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
while others get away with mistakes and failures.....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
while others received huge rewards on minute contributions or on false pretenses...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's been a while that i have faced this testing and severe challenge. Will i get over this and move on? Will i rise to the occasion and make the right choices? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So at least for now a mask i shall wear and a heart of stone i have to become. Learn from this lessons i must and in the future to fail i must not. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I always tell myself I am 33 and i have a long way to go. Dig Deep for the strength to carry on. Not for my sake but for my family. My dearest wife and my dearest son. </div>

Decided to write a little....again. It's been a frustrating time for me. Sometimes I am too naive to believe that honesty and 100% commitment will get me to succeed and achieve what i want to achieve. To my horror, it's not especially with political animals around us all the time.....</div>

It was running from south to north to the east coast. <br /><br />The fun part is to be able to see new places and meet a lot of people which will help me widen my horizon and gather more knowledge and experience.

Vacuum, mop, wash, and vacuum, mop and wash....<br /><br />So far so good. we probably killed millions of them....BUT they are more millions of them. T_T....<br /><br />some info on them from wikipedia:<br /><br />The house dust mite (sometimes referred to by allergists as HDM), is a cosmopolitan guest in human habitation. Dust mites feed on organic detritus such as flakes of shed human skin and flourish in the stable environment of dwellings. House dust mites are a common cause of asthma and allergic symptoms worldwide. Some of the gut enzymes (notably proteases) produced by the house mite persist in their fecal matter, and can be strongly allergenic.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238230372988782032.post-50052390021827790952010-11-12T20:09:00.002+08:002010-11-12T20:18:23.922+08:00Married LifeWell...on another note, I realized that I am married for 11 months as of today.^^ Time flies tru the year and its almost a year ago my beloved and myself got married. It was a tough time especially I was away in Johor while she was here in KL. <br /><br />Well, at least now I am now based in KL so its more time with my beloved wife. I am relieved that I found a job that has the blessing of many including Mr. Chan and the rest of the GENP people and the BIG PLUS POINT is that I can go back to a place i can truly call HOME rather than the rundown place i stayed in Johor previously. <br /><br />I am happy and contented even though it means more housework and more responsibilities back here in KL as my wife, sis and sis-in-law somehow works longer hours than i do. So i would have to step up and make sure the house in good condition. LOL (I can imagine my mom saying to me, "You should have been more proactive in doing housework back then in kuching and u now know how we deal with housework then....) hehehehehe....<br /><br />I am truly blessed to have a wife who can tolerate my bad habits (hehehe...) and also someone who is not demanding on material needs. We can have 'fantastic' debates on issues close to heart but also someone who is caring and loving. (Of course she can be the blur queen on certain occasions) hehehehe<br /><br />Wow...i am in a writing mood today LOL. Usually my blog ends up not taken care of but now i posted more than i did for a while. =)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238230372988782032.post-3992091695933024412010-11-12T19:54:00.003+08:002010-11-12T20:03:34.326+08:003 weeks on....well...its 3 weeks since i started my new job. Still need some more time to fit in. I like to the part of the job that require me to travel and meet people bcos that gives me the chance the see new places (like i was at Kukup in Johor, something u read about in Geography books in school) and also new people. <br /><br />Looks to me a good start. Next week, its up north to Gua Musang, Kelantan ^^. Got to do more field visits to put theories into practice. hehehehe.... i just do not feel like sitting in the office gathering 'kulat'. T_T<br /><br />Speaking of 'kulat', i keep coming over customers / clients who panicked at the word 'ganoderma'. LOL. AND many opportunists are trying to sell so-called bio-fertilizer with anti-ganorderma cure. *Sigh* Hopefully those guys never meet me in person or i will give them an earful or a couple of earfuls. and they will look like this after that ----> O_O<br /><br />Yup. the cure is coming just that it will be a while before its possible to have a cure / 'vaccine' against it. And i know that my former colleagues are working hard on that one. GAMBATE! come out with something concrete and proven and i will support it. Until then, all those opportunists out there.....BEWARE....<br /><br />It's Friday evening and I am in starbucks slurping my favourite Dark Mocha ice blended drink. ^^ and of course online at the same time. Traffic today is very very bad. There's probably a 10 km long jam on the MRR2 at the moment. So i am stuck in JUSCO Maluri. <br /><br />Hmmm....thats all for now...hehehehe.....its the weekend and its time to rest and recharge for next week!

Traditionally constructed of tamped earth, the houses and temples have elongated, segmented roofs with red tiles, each topped with a brick, presumably to hold them down in the typhoon-prone region.<br /><br />Some years back, when I first visited my grandfather’s village (which, though not in Putian, is in the Xinghua dialect neighbourhood), I asked the local residents why the roofs there are so different. They told me a Tang dynasty imperial concubine named Meifei came from Putian and as the reigning favourite, was granted a once-in-a-lifetime favour to return home for a visit.<br /> Form and function: The 900-year-old Mulanbei dam also serves as a bridge across the stream. <br /><br />Craftsmen from the Tang capital Chang’an were sent to overhaul the region, and the distinctive roofs are a legacy of the imperial lady’s homecoming 1,300 years ago.<br /><br />I don’t know if this tale is fact or folklore, but Putian certainly has its share of bizarre and poignant stories.<br /><br />One of the strangest has to be the anecdote about monk Jinxian, first master of the county’s 1,451-year-old Guanghua Temple (Guanghuasi), one of Fujian’s most important Buddhist edifices and site of the province’s first school and Buddhist seminary.<br /><br />It seems that Jinxian was well-respected by the people of Putian and when he went around collecting alms for the temple, they also gave him food, including meat which he ate as he did not want to offend the donors.<br /><br />The story goes that upon returning to Guanghuasi, he would purify himself by taking out his stomach and intestines, and washing them in the brook that still runs through the temple grounds.<br /><br />Unlike many of the other well-known temples, Guanghuasi is serene, without the usual crush of tourists and worshippers. Its distinguishing feature is a stone pagoda reminiscent of the pair in Quanzhou’s Kaiyuansi, except that only four of its five storeys are visible, the first level having sunk below ground.<br /><br />Apparently it had a wooden twin that was burnt by the Japanese. Both the Cultural Revolution and acts of nature took their toll on Guanghuasi which was restored in the 1980s mainly with funds donated by ethnic Chinese from South-East Asia.<br /><br />A little less dramatic but no less appealing is the story of a girl who, a thousand years ago, embarked on a water diversion project to irrigate the fields and save her village from floods caused by sea-tides that swelled Putian’s Mulanxi (Mulan Stream).<br /><br />Just 18 years old, Qian Siniang built a dam across the troublesome waterway but sadly, the barrier was destroyed in a big flood. Some say she committed suicide by plunging into the Mulanxi. A new weir named Mulanbei was subsequently rebuilt in a less turbulent section of the stream and 900 years on, is still in use.<br /> Elegant: A Putian-style roof shields a gateway at the tranquil Guanghua Temple. <br /><br />Mulanbei is virtually untouched by tourism, at least for the time being. A quiet gravel road leads to the stream and from there we followed a stone-paved path to the granite dam.<br /><br />A small gate controls the flow of water at each of Mulanbei’s 32 sections. Although signs of construction are everywhere across the river, the peaceful farmland on the near bank has retained much of its timeless rustic character.<br /><br />Normally, Spring Festival or Chinese New Year is celebrated on the first day of the first lunar month but not so in Putian. Our native Putian guide revealed that the local people wait until the fifth day to celebrate the festival because of a bitter episode that transpired in the days when Fujian’s coast was constantly raided by Japanese pirates, derisively called wokou.<br /><br />One Spring Festival Eve in the Ming dynasty, the wokou launched a brutal attack on Putian just before the customary reunion dinner. Caught unprepared, thousands were slaughtered until the hero Qi Jiguang arrived and drove out the invaders. It was only on the fourth night that the people were finally able to observe New Year’s Eve, and New Year has been celebrated on the fifth day since.<br /><br />In early April, many of Putian’s residences still had fresh-looking red paper chunlian (New Year couplets) on their front doors. Curiously, some had a band of inauspicious white at the top. It seems the county was a hotbed of anti-Manchu resistance during the Qing dynasty and according to our guide, half of the local population of 100,000 were killed by Qing forces just before Spring Festival some 300 years ago.<br /><br />To achieve a semblance of peace, the emperor ordered all subjects throughout the empire to celebrate the New Year replete with firecrackers and traditional red. Putian obeyed, but left a band of white at the top of their chunlian as a sign of mourning.<br /><br />It is said that Fujian’s mountainous terrain has in the past given rise to isolated communities with many variations in dialects and customs. Fortunately, despite the province’s rapid modernisation, some of the local traditions remain unchanged.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238230372988782032.post-35558596739153406792009-05-08T08:30:00.002+08:002009-05-08T08:34:43.899+08:00What is happening to M'sia?4 lives in 2 days. Snatch thieves. Then authorities talked about reforming and helping the Mat Rempits. Bring them to justice! Be strict on them. Yes, I may be cruel but putting them behind bars and public humiliation is the way to go. It can happen to any one of us. <br /><br />People may say they can be changed. However, only after something happen to a family member then only cry for their blood. <br /><br />As I mentioned in a letter to The Star before, 3 strike system and put repeat offenders behind jail for a long time. Only drastic action can save lives. <br /><br />And of course the 'circus' in the Silver State.

I feel strongly for this switch as I felt that my previous posting is bringing me nowhere and of course the 'feud' and office politics that killed my interest and i need to think about my own future.<br /><br />I am now sitting in McD in Nilai waiting for the Nissan to be washed. Such a waste of time (thanks to 'you-know-who'). I should be in office doing more useful job. Ironic isnt it? All good things goes to the 'favoured ones' while all the S**T goes to me and Mr. Chua to clean up. *sigh* <br /><br />I have promised myself to work harder in this new posting this round to prove a point. I am sick of office politics and the blatant back stabbing by people of the previous workplace. I want to do well and have some potential career advancements in the future. However, I do feel guilty to Choulyee as I have to put her through all these. She does not deserve to also suffer with me. <br /><br />She came all the way to KL to be with me and I sometimes felt that no matter what I do to make life as simple and easy for her, it does not make much difference. I really really hope that hers and my sacrifices will be worthwhile and have its rewards in the future.<br /><br />I always believe that if a person is sincere and honest and willing to work hard, that person will be rewarded later. If a person is sneaky, lazy, self centered and willing to sacrifice others for oneself's interests, that person may get away once, twice, 3 times but will one day drown in their own schemes. <br /><br />Well, just some ramblings i need to get it out of my chest.<br /><br />Tata for now.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238230372988782032.post-36742153207666041742009-03-25T10:38:00.002+08:002009-03-25T10:58:12.276+08:00Hmm.....Well, its been a while since I last blogged.
