ranting
Recently, i came upon people who are so proud of their age, they become blind.
Heritage, history, experience, tradition, whatever you like to call it, does add flavours and brand confidence, in a way similar to paper qualification, there is no doubt about it. Think Adidas.
I’m a great fan of tradition. I respect experience, and cherish veteran contribution.
What I don’t get is…
What makes a veteran thinks that bragging how experience he/ she is will earn younger generation’s respect?
Adidas never stop at telling people how long they have been making shoes! Nor Adidas get angry when footballers opted for Nike.
They come out with better shoes. They take the time to understand what the market need. They work with better designer like Stella McCartney. They improve their performance!
Even so, they remain number two. But they have earn our respect.
Yes, performance and result top our list of criteria for respect and admiration.
The market has spoken, so please don’t act like a baby.

Let's Go Mamak
Last night i was treated to almost three hours of musical bliss.
Performed by Inner Voices, the band features western and Malaysian musical instruments, including my favourite tabla, Chinese drums and flute.
Visit their blogspot here.
There is still an 8.30pm show tonight at KLPAC.
Show your support, you will probably see me there again.

On the other hand, Seet also thinks that,
If you are born workaholic, you are not hardworking.
If you are born fearless, you are not brave.

Life is so drama
Past five days and five nights~
I had durian, dim sum, bak kut teh
I went to pasar malam, and cycling in Bukit Cahaya
I attended parties, for business and leisure, two nights in a row.
I got home Sunday morning 2am.
My new house got a set of new doors, cool~
Mom forgot that I have been away for five days and don't have the keys~
My phone ran out of battery.
The door bell!
Nobody answered after ding dong for 15 minutes.
They probably never heard of it.
Did they lock my room's balcony door?
Should I climb up?
I think I can do it.
FHM Jantan Test would like to hear about this.
Better not.
Public phone!
There is one near 7-Eleven.
Thank god it is still working.
A glimmer of hope for Malaysian vandals.
Got in.
It's already 3am.
Drama nye~
Dark Knight is good.
So is Red Cliff,Hell Boy 2 & Journey to the Centre of the Earth,
I have paid my dues.

Sweaty, muddy and Skol-ly Saturday
2.30pm
I’ve arrived at Batu Caves with a book, my laptop, and 24 bottles of beers in my car boot.
The sight of the steps reminded me a trip ykit, yh and swei made last year (or 2 years ago?) which I did not tag along, probably due to work reason.
The rendezvous time with Joyce and Irene is 3.30pm. I am one hour earlier, gee...
3.00pm
Drinking fresh coconut juice, panting, and knee trembling.
Short moment ago, a sudden urge prompted me to climb the steps. And I did it.
I went up, said hi to the monkeys, toured the cave, rescued an Indian boy’s water bottle, and came down with wisdom +1
The cave is quite a sight filled with monkeys' and doves' poop :P
But I like.
3.30pm
Joyce and Irene arrived, I’m ready for the adventure to Ulu Yam.
4.15pm
Oh my god~ The scenery during my 45 minutes drive was awesome, curvy hillside roads, pouring rains… and a huge lake that appeared out of nowhere. Glad that I agreed to help out in this event.
5.00pm
Work starts! Set up the media registration counter, sorted out the press kits and gifts (the beers in my boot), read the agenda and memorise the key messages and VIPs name. Oh, did I not mention? It’s the super Skol Launch (Super because it’s 9% alcohol content, normal beer is 4%)
6.00pm
Media came. Not too happy (so far la, raining la, it’s Saturday la, ulu place la) :P
7.00pm
4X4 trucks ferried media into event site.
8.00pm
Waiting for late comers. So going to miss the launch.
8.30pm
Went in with the last batch of media. Woo.. My first time sitting in a Mitsubishi Triton, nice~ The makeshift road was a combo of tar and mud, but Triton handled it with ease, no problem at all, suspension super man!
8.45pm
We missed the launch. But that’s not important :P
The event site is… muddy. The band is… weirdly entertaining. The media are… looking at me with disbelief, telepathically telling me WTF is this!?
Seet respond to all: Ha ha… erm… outdoor mar, sporty mar, rough and tough mar, u know la, Super Skol so super, 4X4 also so super… OH YA have you tried it? Come, come have some!
Run away~
10.00pm
Leaving with the same group of media who came late just now. I think I have made a few friends in sharing common disbelief of how the event is done tonight. I was so hungry, I became the one to clear the dishes, a rare sight ler~
12.00am
Reached home. Munthye came to borrow basketball. SiauHui bro came to borrow jacket. Realised I have not tried Super Skol…
My job rocks.
Disclaimer: Pix are not taken by me. I googled and selected the closest pix.
***
I’m now blogging in Starbucks while waiting for my class to start.
50% of the stuff are moved to the new house, which until now I have not seen it.
I guess I quite fail.
Studying part time is really taking a toll on me now.
As I got involved in more high demand accounts, I find myself struggling to keep my life in balance.
I made many mistakes at work, mostly due to carelessness, and I disappointed people.
Anyway,
I’ve updated the MINI review with pix, enjoy~
