The Untold Story of ‘Mah-jong Creatures of Uni-10’ Part 1

There’s only one word to define my results, ‘disappointing’. Full stop. Don’t want to talk about that anymore. Promise myself to work harder next semester. I am seriously not sure what happened to me last week? Sick due to stomach upset for almost a week. Sienz! Anyway, I find it a bit boring or rather monotonous to just post up ‘normally’ on those 1 week holiday trip to the south. So, I came out with an idea of compiling them into a story. Hopefully it will capture your mind and imagination. =)

‘Mah-jong creatures? What on earth is that *fill in the blanks with your thoughts yourself*?’ might be the first thing to struck at your indigenous minds. Have you deliberately ever seen mah-jong creatures alive? (I am very sure NO!) Well, this is an untold story of 11 mah-jong creatures (for disclaimer purpose, this is just a mere FICTION story and has nothing to do with any life and death matter) particularly named Tung (Kelvin), Nam (Richard), Sai (Hee Guan), Pat (Wei Kiat), Chung (Me! Me! Me!), Fatt (Chei Siang), Pan (Yee Mun), Tong (Fong), Sok (May Peng), Fei (Yee Siong) and Man (Karen). How did they come alive? Of course, every story has its beginning and everything has its origins...

Chapter 1 - The beginning

The story begins when Liverpool’s striker Peter Crouch ‘am kong-ly’ scored 2 goals against Besiktas and out of a sudden, lightning struck at the top of the typical old double-storey rented house’s antennae; accumulating infinitely forceful magnetic field and thrust them into the mah-jong set. *Puff* 11 mah-jong tiles in various size appears, landed on the floor. Having physical attributes and characteristics of a human in the giant mah-jong tiles, they started to move about. They were puzzled, looking at each other aimlessly. To their horror, out of nowhere, an illusionary magic ball appeared, amplifying a glimmering flash of lights on the wall stating ‘Your origins can be found at Gunung Ledang’. After a while, the words disappeared into emptiness along with the ball. The stunned creatures then take some time to recover from the sudden fright and held into a small discussion...


Nam: How, how now?
Man: Yeapz! Good question. How now...
Chung: What are we? We need to know!
Sok: Yes, it’s true. We need to follow the clues given.
Fei: How are we supposed to get there? We don’t even know where that ‘Gunung Ledang’ place is...
Pan: Gunung Ledang... Can eat ah? I am getting hungry already... (smiling away)
Tung: Me too! But then, Gunung Ledang is a place, mountain. How to eat wo?
Sai: Hey, can you two get a little more serious? We are having a serious deep shit problem here ok? Get your head right! You are just mah-jong tiles, how can you ever be hungry? (in a while, his stomach sounds) Urghh...
Tong: You do feel hungry too, right? We are all mah-jong tiles with human’s attribute.
Pat: Say! Say! Say! Cool down ok? I found this map to Gunung Ledang at the toilet upstairs. It stinks a little and a bit wet but still readable. I think someone must have had planned to go there before us. I wonder who he is...
Fatt: Nevermind! Don’t bother much about that. Okay. Let us all go there right away. Pack your things and we will move. I found 3 car keys at the closet downstairs. Me, Tung and Nam will drive. Hurry up!

There the journey goes; the beginning of the ending. They drove all the way down to the south, towards the direction of Gunung Ledang...

journey to the south begins at the next chapter, stay tune readers.... =P

Mathematics of Relationships?

I came across an email stated 'The Mathematics of... Relationships". Kinda weird n funny. Take a look:

ROMANCE MATHEMATICS

Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy

OFFICE ARITHMETIC

Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime

SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $20 for a $10 item he needs. A woman will pay $10 for a $20 item that she doesn't need.

GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

HAPPINESS

To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.

LONGEVITY

Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.

PROPENSITY TO CHANGE

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.

DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE

A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, 'You're next.' They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra

Don't ever missed this once in a lifetime musical orchestra performance right at your doorway. Ipoh friends who enjoy music should go for it! It's at Banquet Hall at Bangunan Perak Darul Ridzuan. After all, its just 15 bucks for student. =)

TVB drama

Recently just finished watching 2 'latest' TVB drama, entitled 'Kan Yan Kin' and 'Crime Fighter'. Quite nice till no time to blog bout my recent 1 week holiday trip. There's also this drama even more 'latest', acted by Charmaine Sheh and Jordan Chan entitled 'Word Twisters' Adventures' (鐵咀銀牙).



kan yan kin... reli kan, very funny indeed... 4 out of 5 stars...



interesting and exciting crime adventure... also 4 out of 5 stars...


Lately, u can see a lot of China women selling those TVB's DVD everywhere. I do not know much bout their origin but then, this thing has become a common thing especially at the restaurants. What a way to earn money? How did this idea penetrate through out markets? Those video, vcd or dvd rental shops surely goin to bankrupt soon. I wonder how they are goin to survive if there's no new idea's being invented and implemented...

Musical Play

This weekend was kind of special. I was involved in helping out my good friend, Kwok Yii and his gf in a musical ballet play (I assume) by City Ballet. (I am not sure if PSPA, Perak Society of Performing Arts is also involved) The play, compromising three different stories; The Swan, Aladdin and Nutcracker were indeed superb and entertaining. Musical play is one of my favourite genre of drama ever since I was involved in my school play back in Form 1. I still remember ‘Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ pretty well besides other short mini plays such as The King & I, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Sound of Music and etc. After that, I left drama field till now due to certain reasons. (Maybe I should blog out an ‘Untold Story About Me’..... anyone interested?) =)



kwok yii and siew leng...


I actually prefer those plays rather than drama because of the melodramatic sentimental, soothing music. I do not really like hard rock metal, eardrum-spoiling music like those Alfred always listen while driving. =.=! Anyway, what’s my main duty during the play on Sunday night? U wouldn’t believe this. Its backstage duty but not really ‘backstage work’; keeping cute small kids (about 20++) in control for the whole night. What an unforgettable experience! Well, you know small kids? Some can get a bit nasty but some can be real angels. There’s this really cute, cute little girl at the age of 5 out of a sudden broke into tears. I tried to console her and she responded in a really cute manner. She stopped crying and stared at me with a really cute expression. When she speaks, awww.... maximum cute. Haha! What a waste that I didn’t take her picture. All hand phones were supposed to be switched off and I just followed their orders. I am very sure you will agree with me when you see her picture and also listen to her speaking. Cute Jacqueline, that’s her name (without the cute of course). You won't remember this 'gor gor' taken care of you as you grow up older. =P At the young, tender age already learn ballet and learn to perform in front of a big crowd; about almost 1000 people I guess. That’s a very good development for a child. Their parents must be very proud of them. All the best to them!

I have even seen people at my varsity having stage fright during presentation. In the corporate world, it’s very important to be able to converse and perform in a strong, firm manner. If not, you might lose out to other competitors easily. I can presume that life later on for me will surely get tougher. =) That’s how I actually spend my first week of holidays besides watching movie, ‘yumcha’ and sports. I might blog about my trip to Muar, Melaka and JB (right after finals for a week) some other time when I am free. Results will be out by next Monday and I am really keeping my fingers crossed!

Sayonara...

Special tribute to my dear 'proton iswari' ADP 3389 who has been with me for 10 years++; finally its time for 'u' to leave for a new owner. Dunno how my future varsity days will be beginning of next sem. Maybe havta go around tumpang ppl's car liao. Haihz, what to do? Body also cancerous already. Full of rusty holes. Well, every beginning has an ending, but the ending will lead to a new beginning. Hehe! Hopefully dad will come to a positive resolve as soon as possible. If not, havta become parasite or worst come to worst, take that 'tortoise' uni bus...



goodbye, you will have a good touch-up by da new owner...

Homage to 'Not the Uncle Lim nxt door'...

Out of nowhere, i arise from my bed at the dawn. The day where i am supposed to rest till late in the morning turns out to be the otherwise. I was deprived of sleep for the past few weeks due to the finals and when climax was over, i should have a good bedtime. Its all because of the annoying blood-sucking MOSQUITOES' fault for getting me restless. Amanah is real dreadful towards the end of the semester. Total rubbish all over the hostel. In a world where mannerism does not penetrate through deep into the younger generation's mind, these will only reflect on what are the worst case scenario of our future lies. Imagine, people throwing rubbish out of the window just like that, be it crumble paper, can drinks, polystrene package or etc, without ever concerning anyone right below the window. Furthermore, living in a place surrounded by junks might turn you into part of the thrash. If you can't beat them, join them right?

Anyway, since i am awake and totally not in the mood of packing up my stuffs yet for holidays, i might as well surf around the web to see what's going on around the blogosphere at the moment. Ah-Ha! Blogmate Crusader finally updated something quite interesting. The post is on the bibliography of his hero, idol, leader or whatsoever you name it; all in all, one of the greatest creation by God. I myself would like to pay tribute to the one and only eminent 'Uncle Lim' of Malaysia. History himself speaks everything. Earlier days of life (50's era onwards) was much tougher compare to generation these days in terms of hardship. Go back and ask your grandparents or even your parents about it, they will tell you the same thing. Last time, they work/struggle under the sun, now we work/struggle under the air-con. Generation these days were made easier by them for a better living. Due to this fact, people are starting to forget their roots. Bear in mind that the present and future can never exist without the past. My dad once told me about how 20 years down the road before, he struggled to earn a good living. Those days, motorcycles are almost equivalent to cars. Having one is quite a great achievement. Salary were just 1/10 of the current ones as the value of currency is small. 'Wan tan mee' noodles and a cup of 'teh tarik' will only cost you about 5 cents. How far we were left behind by comparison to other advance countries during that time in terms of our currency values and economy-wise? It was all the effort of our great late country's leaders and few undisputed extraordinary mens who made what Malaysia is today. Click this link to read more about my blogmates opinion...

True enough, for every great successful man or woman comes with great sacrifice, huge responsibility, leadership and unbounded determination. Its all about how you would perceive on your own life; how you see your life in succession of certain things or perception of whatever comes, comes! "No sacrifice, no victory"~ Sam Witwicky (from Transformers). Life is like a journey of lots of subway station. When you reach to a particular destination, you can't stop there forever. You will have to move on to another station and when you decide the next station to go to, you have your aim and direction. Work towards that direction and move on cleverly. I myself truly hadn't reach that level yet as i had my own obstacles to be taken care of right now. This is the part and parcel of life. Nothing comes easy at the moment. The thorns of life is just the beginning.
