Superstitions!!

Superstitions! I really don't understand why some people can really believe everything about superstitions and be superstitious. I know every religion have their own superstitions, it is mostly traditions from ancestor and are consider a taboo if it is not followed correctly.

I am a Chinese and i know how some Chinese can be overly superstitious. For me and my family, superstitions are followed when we have some elderly people around and when we know they are very particular in these kind of things. We will do it out of respect, but not to our everyday practice.

I respect each and every religion and their do's and don'ts, but not to the extreme. So, i just thought of talking about this for one reason that Chinese New Year is around the corner, and as most Chinese know that during Chinese New Year Celebration have lots of it's Dos and Don'ts we have to follow. For instance, we can't sweep the floor on the Eve of New Year because it means that we will sweeping out all the luck out the door, or when making prayers we are not allow to offer pears (did you ever notice that?) Pear in Chinese literally means 'to separate' and it is not auspicious for the Chinese.

Remember i talked about a few guys that my friend introduce to me where we went for the durian feast. Just something that i like to share. I find it weird and quite dumbfounded when i hear it through my friend.

To cut the long story short, we were at my friend's friend house and there is lots of durians scattered around on the floor. Initially i didn't want to have any because i have a meeting the next morning. Didn't want my breath to stink, so declined their offer. After much persuasion from the guys and they seem sincere, so i took a few.

After eating, i had problem throwing the seeds, i threw from afar, hoping my aim would be accurate and ends in the plastic bag. Damn, i miss it. So i carefully step over the durians minding not to step on any and hurt myself, i manage to step over and pick up my seed and throw it into the plastic bag. Little did i know that i have actually offend some of the guys and i did not obey some of the Chinese superstitions.

The next morning, my friend called me and sounded quite disappointed. She said 'Hey, you guys makes me really makes me mad yesterday(In a joking way)'. I was like what?? What did we do? She answer 'do you know what you have done? Have you notice that my friend looks quite blur yesterday and shock? I was like HUH??? My friend said, 'Do you know that you cross over the durians yesterday? I said, 'Yea, i was throwing the durian seeds into the waste paper plastic' She said 'Do you know that girls are not allowed to crossover food when other guys are going to eat it too??

Obviously i didn't know that, i never heard of any Chinese superstitions that said that girls are not allowed to 'cross over' any food. I dumbly say 'No, I'm not aware of that?' Finally my friend said 'did you notice that my friend was looking at you when you cross over the durian? Are you trying to give them free 'Black Magic'?' I'm like WTF???!!!??!

My mother never told me about this? What Chinese Superstition is that?? I am a Chinese too, i should know about it right?? What you expect me to do? the durians are scattered everywhere, there is only one waste paper plastic available, and all i can do is cross over the durians. It is not intentional, furthermore, I'm totally not aware of this particular taboo. She caught me at the wrong time when i was at work, so i couldn't stand for my right, i was dumbfounded.

I mean who in the hell puts food on the floor? That's common sense! I thought people eat on the table? But durians? Why is it compared to durians? Maybe the guy looks at me because i am too fat? Or i have a big butt, it could be also he expect me to trip on one of the durian shells and fall. It could be. Just a thought, i don't know ?

But to think a guy in the 30s and 40s, i can say they are educated people, still mind of small and minor things in life and dwell about it. That i just could not understand. How can one live, when you have to live with every superstitions hand down by ancestors and legends. I mean business is measured based on feng shui or arrangements of furniture, what colour clothing you wear, or your home facing to which direction. I mean how can people live with rules like that? I mean what if you this year your luck is facing the south direction, then you manage to find a house facing south, then next year your luck is facing north? then how? turn the house around? Impossible right?

Well, my friend called me and told me that she apologize to her friends on our behalf. I mean if you have already apologize to them, why bother telling me? I did not agree that it was my mistake, i don't even see it as a mistake. But why did she mind? Did her friends called her and complain? No! How in the world she realise her friends actually mind? Well, she told me after she woke up from her sleep then only she actually realised. Probably they talk to her in her sleep. Sigh, a guy that mind about this, I'm sure he is a very petty guy.

Since my friend have to call and explain herself, i feel she is just only being paranoid. Well, as they are all guys and i guess that maybe she likes one of the guys in that group. For she thinks that she is obligated to apologize to them, what else can i say since she has already done it for me? Well, it's her friends after all, she needs to face them in the future. If my apologizing makes her feel better and easier for her to face them, then i guess, she can go ahead.

As for me, i don't think i ever want to be of any acquaintance with them. As for a guy to think that way, it's very immature and sissy. Yucks! I asked a lot of guys at work and they are not even aware of this superstition. So i know how petty and small minded those guys can be.

New Movies To Look Out for in 2008

It's been a while since i last watch a movie with my cousin Nicole, i remember the last time was Mr.Magorium's Wonder Emporium. There was a time where me and my cousin will meet up on a Friday to catch a movie after work. She'll wait for me until i finish work, go picky her up and catch any movie.

There's once where we watch every movie that we have no other movie to watch but those foreign movies. We end up watching, Korean , Japanese and Thais horror and thriller movies. Some can be quite interesting too.

We watch Sweeny Todd : The Demon Barber from Fleet Street. Not recommended for children viewing, anayway it is rated as 18PL. I did quite enjoy the movie, i like musical actually. It is quite a typical Tim Burton's production, always peculiar, weird (in a good way) and very very dark, not much of a colour. I really like Helena Bonham Carter, she is really very entertaining, her sharp, high pitched voice, her lines are very difficult to sing. I love her character Mrs.Lovett. I like the song she sings, one is about 'The worst pie in London' and 'Poor thing'. I guess i am the only one laughing in the cinema. Oh, how can i forget? A special appearance by Sascha Baron Cohen, remember him? He is the one that made the character Ali G and Borat famous. He is a weird and funny guy.

My friends commented that nobody can believe if i say the movie is nice and funny, because i find everything funny. I'm very ticklish, i find it quite true, Haha! But i really like this musical movie by Tim Burton, with his wife as one of his cast Helene Bonham Carter, it's always entertaining. She was also the voice of 'Corpse Bride' again collaborating with Johnny Depp, which is also a production of Tim Burton, they really are a good weird coupling Ha!

Other movies that i am really anticipating for this year is definitely P.S I Love You written by Cecelia Ahern. I have read the book 2 years ago and i cry my heart out with every page turned. It is really a heart warming story, making you feel life is full of hope. Life goes on even when you have to go through shits along the journey, you know you will get to your destination, if you put your heart and soul to it. The book makes me believe in Love again, and that there's true love out there waiting for you. So, i really can't wait to see the movie.

It's a love comedy and I'm sure it's going to be great. Having Hillary Swank as the lead and Gerard Butler as her Husband in that film, remember the guy from 300? Yeah, he's the one. Great to be looking at more abs in this movie. Not to forget Lisa Kudrow, she is funny :) Click here for the trailer.

How can we forget about Narnia? Titled The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, which is the 2nd sequel of the book. It's like a fantasy world only kids can enter, sort of like the Harry Porter sequel everyone is crazy about. Read some reviews saying it is a much grungier, a much darker and more savage than the First Chronicles of Narnia. Coming soon in May in the Sates, not sure when in Malaysia. Enjoy the trailer here.

Who would have thought, Jet Li and Jackie Chan collaborating in a movie. Two with distinctively different in the Arts of Kung Fu. One of Shaolin Kung Fu where they are always serious and tough and the other with Street Smart Kung Fu style and is always funny with a touch of comedic moves.

It is sort of a English version of the Chinese Legend 'Journey to the West' but with a white prodigy. Very funny indeed and the trailer looks good. Can't wait for this either, 2 Masters of Martial Arts making a movie together :) The Forbidden Kingdom is a must watch for me.

I'm predicting the next movie 'The Dark Knight' another Batman sequel is going to be a Blockbuster hit. It's because the late Heath Ledger plays the character of The Joker, recent reviews said that his portrayal of The Joker has out-do Jack Nicholson. It is really sad to see Heath leave us at such a young age and at the peak of his career. Heath has portayed a darker and more psychotic side of 'The Joker' and i've seen the trailer, it's really scary seeing his character. Can't wait for it's premier.

More sequels to come, and this i won't miss because i've seen the other sequels far too many time. it is none other than Indiana Jones. I love Harrisson Ford in his younger day, now after so many years, getting old already la, the latest sequel titled Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull staring withhis new sidekick who i am very anticipated to see again after a great performance he did in the Transformer, cutie Shia LeBeouf.

I hope it is going to be a good installment as i love his other installments namely Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, i really love that. I definitely feel it won't be a let down as Steven Spielberg is the Director of the film :) Look out for it.

Another sequel to Harry Potter, definitely we will be expecting it this year. The cast are not getting any younger, they have to rush into production before the cast get too old to play their parts. Everyone loves Harry Potter, so am i. The magic and mystery and witchcraft, full of imagination and fantasy that is definitely out of this world. Can't wait for Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince!

More Sex this year anyone? I guess this is the most talked about movie coming in 2008. I read in one of the gossip magazines that they have to film a few endings to mislead the paparazzi, it's definitely a top top secret. It's definitely going to be about Carrie Bradshaw finally getting married to her first Love, which is Mr. Big, that's what they called him. Samantha jones the sex kitten that fights cancer and dating a young hot model in that movie. Love to see Charlotte York embrace her new found religion as she married a Jew who is unfortunately not good in bed, can't wait to see what happen next. Of course, Miranda Hobes, the ever so uptight lawyer that juggles between her baby and house husband :) Ohh...i just can't wait for the Sex and The City Movie.

The list is never ending, there's so much more movies, great movies waiting in line. I just can't wait for all of it. 27 Dresses, Prequel to X-Men-Wolverine, Harold and Kumar-about a chinese boy and an Indian boy out for an adventure in the States and always ends up in deep trouble. A very very funny movie. An animated series staring the voice of Jim Carrey and Steve Carell, Dr. Seuss Horton Hears A Who will definitely be the next 3D animation that i looking out for and it will make you laugh your ass off (The Trailer).

Like it Firm or Limp??

I know the title sounds interesting to people to read. It definitely sound misleading, yes you are right! I'm talking none other than a good tough, firm and strong HANDSHAKE! Haha!

Recently i have this encounter with a close friend. We happen to out one night and later some of her friends called her to join them for a durian feast. Initially she declined because it is already quite late, close to midnight. Usually with us she will pester to go back early as she had to work the next next as it it is a weekday night. After a few calls from them she gave in, so she asked me if it's ok to drop by her friend's place for a while, she said she would introduce some of her friends to me. So i thought, why not? Free durian, new friends..Alright!

Actually, i don't really eat durians, i'm doing this because i know my friend loves durians. I know i can't get along with her friends, so i just took her there out of courtesy. One of her friends is in his early 40s, one in his early 30s and one in his early 20s and his girlfriend. The guys in their early 40s and 20s gave a good handshake, it show that they are sincere which is proper, it's also leave a good first impression on me. Can you read people's character with just a mere handshake. I'm sure you can, because you can really tell their personality generally with the way they shake hands. A few surveys say that too.

The guy in his early 30s, gave me a very limp handshake, it's like a lifeless flesh that i just hold on to it for a while and i let go. No grip, no shake, no nothing. Practically that should not even be considered as a handshake. It's just like, i just let out my hand and you just touch it la. I personally find it very offensive and i initially thought he is not been brought up or been thought well by family or his friends around him. I was just searching online and found this interesting piece talking about the 5 of the most general handshakes people give. This is the type of handshake that the guy in his 30s gave, called the Dead Fish Handshaker.

Dead Fish Handshaker
This type of person, who places a limp, lifeless hand in yours, is sending a negative message. While the knuckle cruncher hurts you, at least there is a desire to express a real feeling. You are left with the impression of this person having a lackluster personality.

The dead fish is the cold, clammy and indifferent handshake of someone who is passive or apathetic.
(My God, i think i did hold on to a dead fish that night)

The other 4 types of Handshake

Knuckle Cruncher
This type of person is earnest but nervous. While meaning to convey warmth through a tight grip of your hand, the person only causes you pain. The impression created is definitely that of a person who lacks sensitivity.

Pumper
This handshake is overly eager but also insecure. This person doesn’t know when to quit, almost as if stalling because of not knowing what to do next. They keep on vigorously pumping your hand up and down—and with it your entire arm. You may not feel pain but you certainly feel foolish.

Sanitary Handshaker
This person will barely put three or four fingers in your hand—and then withdraw them quickly, almost as if afraid of catching a dread disease. They appear timid and sheepish.

Condolence Handshaker
This is the person who comes across as too familiar, clasping your right arm or hand, and perhaps attempting to hug you. This behavior may be appreciated at a funeral, but it comes across as condescending and inappropriate.

This is the proper way of handshaking

Proper Handshaking
The protocol for handshaking is simple to learn. Here is what you should do: Walk up to the person you want to meet. Look into their eyes, smile, and extend you hand. Offer a warm, firm, palm-to-palm handshake.

When you proffer your hand to a stranger or a distant acquaintance, simultaneously say, “My name is......( use both first and last names ). This way you eliminate the awkward moment of the forgotten name. The person being greeted is often relieved at being reminded, and will usually respond with their full name, which will in turn relieve you.

Both men and women should rise to shake hands. Rising is a compliment; it shows energy and eagerness to connect.

Initiating a proper handshake will make an incredibly positive impression. You will be perceived as a person who is knowledgeable, possesses excellent social skills, and has leadership capabilities.

An excellent handshake shows your charm and self-confidence. It becomes an integral part of your style.

“Any person who has charm and some confidence can move in and through societies ranging from the most privileged to the most needy. Style allows the person to appear neither inferior in one location nor superior in the other.”

—Maya Angelou... (noted poet, educator, and best-selling author)

I bet everyone had encounter with some people with terrible handshakes, i had my experience with a few dead fish handshakes, it is definitely not a good feeling. The most shocking news is that i later found out that the guy with the limp handshake, is actually an assistant manager. How can that be? An assistant manager with such weak handshake. My friend also says that he is a quiet person and he never talks even if it's only 2 person in a car, it will be dead quiet even if you ask him a question and come to think of it, it's really is creepy.

I can proudly say i give proper handshaking :) What do you think about your handshake?

Miss Teen USA, Are you serious?

I love watching Beauty pageants, you name it, Miss World, Miss Universe, Miss USA, even Miss Teen USA. Such perfect body, poise, elegance, their gracefulness, they strut their stuff on stage with complete confidence. I used to admire them or most people call them Beauty Queens.

Now i just watch and laugh all the way through it, I'm not jealous of their beauty or anything like that. It seems like their exploiting their body in exchange some a few minutes of fame on camera. Fake smile, fake personality, fake everything. Yes, i do admit that some of the girls are really smart, they answer questions well, they are really intellectual and i do admire that they are setting an example that 'hey, beauty can have brains too'.

Why am i saying they are fake? Because what they portray on the camera are not themselves. I don't think doing charity work is sincere when they are doing it for the sake of television is not right. I mean, all of them, do you think they do any charity work when they are off-camera or when they did not participate in any pageant. I guess not! They are doing it because it is part of the program, the itinerary of the pageant.

Headlines "Miss World visits orphanage" or "Miss World spending time with the old folks" or "Miss Universe care for the children with Aids". The next minute you see them saying "ohh, it's so sad, these kids have aids" or "ohh,these kids have no parents, poor little thing" then there's sobbing and crying and weeping. The next minute you see the flashing their smile on stage and strutting their stuffs and shaking their bon-bons on camera. FAKE!

What will they do when they win the title? They do charity work only for a year, because they are oblige to do it. It's in their contract to hold the title. They become spokesperson, they do 'Public Announcement' for certain organization and foundation. Well, they get their money and after a year they pass on the crown to the next reigning queen and their charity work disaapears and you never hear from them again! FAKE!

But recently there are too many cases that girls are attacking and sabotaging each other belongings off-stage cause of jealousy. I mean, all the girls are there for a good cause! To bring World Peace! Remember???!!!?? Girls can be cruel and vicious creature if they are blinded by rage, jealousy and vengeance. They will do anything and everything to bring their opponents or enemies down. I am a girl myself, i know our species well. :)

The recent Miss Universe Scandal, where Miss Puerto Rico was sabotaged by one of the Miss Universe contestant. Pepper spray was found on the swim wear, evening gown even in her makeup. See how vicious a girl can be, lucky it's only rashes and she felt some burning sensations. What if she is genetically allergic to it, it may kill her!

Miss Puerto Rico was even accused of making it all up, until the police report confirms that they found evidencing of pepper spray on her evening gown. Thank god that she won the Pageant! Serve the person that sabotaged her right!





Talking about Pageants, there's lots of parents in The States are quite obsessed with grooming their daughters to be Beauty Queens. They control their eating to they can stay in shape, hire a Fitness consultant to keep fit, a Speech Coach to help them tackle difficult questions when asked on Pageants. Some girls are doing it willingly, some are force by parents and hopefully their daughters can reach stardom and be famous, if not, probably they will meet somebody rich and make them their wife :) who knows right? Guys always fall for Beauty queens, even if they are airheads.

I stumble upon this clip from youtube featuring this contestant from Miss Teen USA named Tara Connor representing South Carolina. OK, i don't blame her for making fool of herself on stage, because she is blond. I know, it's not a nice thing to say. The question asked was not even difficult, it's quite a straight forward question. I mean, they do have Speech Coach guiding them all the way, right?

The question asked by a judge 'Recent polls have shown that a fifth of Americans can't locate the US on the world map. Why do you think this is?

Miss South Carolina answered:




"I personally believe the US Americans are unable to do so because uh, some people out there in our nations.....don't have maps and i believe our education like such as south africa and iraq everywhere like such as ....and i believe that they should our education over here! In the US should help the US., should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future...for our children". :)


Hmmm...she can't even make a full sentence. No one even understand a word that comes out of her mouth. Not only does she did not answer the question, she can't even make a profer sentence and her answer doesn't even make any sense. But, life always have second chances. The people from the Today Show gave her a second chance to tackle the question, i don't think it is a very good comeback answer. I really thought she could do better, come on you would already be expecting them to ask you the question again. OK, i must give her credit for having the courage to go on National TV and face criticism of the press again. If it was me, i'll hide my face under a brown bag wherever i go!




Can't answer questions, no biggie. Go on a talk show and redeem yourself, take a second try to answer the question. What if this happens?





You think that humiliating yourself on stage is the worst thing that could happen to you? Take a look at this clip. I wouldn't want this to happen to me, imagine you are walking down the runway and this happens!!!





A WALDROBE MULFUNCTION???!!!??

New Year New Beginning?

I guess at one time we make new year resolutions every new year. Initially, we really try our very best to achieve it, after a month or so the drive dies down and we didn't actually follow through with it. Why? Still got next year ma, make it my next year's new resolution lo.

That is why i never make any new year resolutions, because i know i will never follow through with it. Just a routine thing we do, try to come up with a resolution and that's it...no continuation, a full stop!

All i want is that my work goes wells, everything goes smoothly, earn more money haha!! who doesn't want that eh? I really just hope that there would be lesser conflict at work or even at home. Maybe it's not too much to ask for a promotion! :P

OK, my New Year Resolution for this year is ....to BLOG more! HAHA!! We'll see about that ah...

Blast From The Past

Wow...time really flies..the last i remember 2007 have just started...it's already a week after 2008 New Year..and i am very sure time will fly by so quick that in a second it will be 2009 already.

New year is just like another day for me. Nothing much to look forward to..except for bonus and salary annual increment early of the year..hehe.. but after that, they money will be gone in a blink of an eye..pay for car installment la, road tax la, car insurance la..aiya..so fast all gone already.

I'm really not too sure how i spent my entire year..you look back is 365 days wasted if you have not done anything resourceful. I myself..have wasted a year of doing nothing. Absolutely nothing to improve myself..I don't believe in New Year Resolution, only one reason because i won't follow through with it, Haha!! Anyway, why not i just review my year 2007..

I did also do a lot of survey on the trip i have been planning for some time. Manage to booked 4 tickets to Bali for 8 days 7 nights. Yes, i know..it's a long trip.

Celebrated our 50th year of independence!! Of course, my company always comes up with this competition within departments. To decorate the office and see which department has the most creative deco plus some performance of course :)

Mr. President Tunku Abdul Rahman And his man-made Proton

All the other ministers

As usual, i did a lot of work to decorate the office. all waste time and money. Later it will be taken down and thrown away. All my hard work, gone down the drain. So tempted to keep it, if i do so then my room will be filled with junk. Sigh!!

This is what i did, nice or not?

I didn't manage to take picture of the silhouette take i have done of the Tugu Negara. That was my favourite piece of Art Work. But you still can see the banner that i have done. Too bad only won 3rd place.

SEPTEMBER
This month is really an eventful month. We'll start off with my company trip, it is yearly event held by my company. It is suppose to help to build the team spirit and co-operation within the team la. That's why it is called 'Team Building', for my past 2 years attending this event, i can officially say that is it not working for me. haha!!!

I think I'm really lacked of team spirit. but i really don't need another 'outing' like this to boost up my motivation. All in all, we had a good time at D'Ark.

P/S: The water there sucks! taste like chlorine, even the beverages like coffee and tea taste like chlorine, luckily i brought my own water. My colleagues warn me that my precious water will go missing that night, thus, i hugged my bottle to sleep.

Not to forget, i attend an event that held once a year for free at Mont Kiara. I've heard this event for a long long time and i always say i will definitely find time to watch it...free ma. It was the Jazz Festival! Sad to say, i'm kind of disappointed that i could not get to see Sheila Majid. I love her songs!

How can i forget the Firework Competition held in KL. 1st in Malaysia, so how can i miss it right? Went there to see the finale, damn unlucky, we got caught under the rain, and if the rain goes on they would have to postpone the Firework display. The day didn't really go well for me.

OCTOBER
Celebrated Hari Raya, more the Raya Deco goes up at office. Canna was very kind to come over and help me out with my 'Rumah Kampung' Thank you, Thank you veri muchi!!! muackkss muackkss!!!

Sigh..i need to get myself out of the team committee. I don't need to spend another weekend doing things that won't help me with my social life. (as if i have a social life la)

My Mom and Canna helping me out with the Raya Deco

But at least i did went out to have dinner with some of my girlfriends :) We had a great time at Hard Rock!

NOVEMBER
This month is quite eventful (told you i have a social life). Firstly, Canna, Celina, Angeline and myself had celebrated Ah Boy's birthday. After that we head off to Matrix and end up taking pictures of random stuffs we do.

I have also went down to Danuk Thailand and had my first taste of Silk Worms, Yummy!! Who wants to join me next?

DECEMBER

Celebrated Christmas at Canna's. She bought me a little piggy! cute cute! As every year we have Christmas Deco at office. Getting kinda lazy and out of idea already. We did it as simple as possible and to our amaze, with so little effort, we still win the deco competition. i guess i just have the talent eh. I guess i'm into the wrong profession!!

I hope that the year 2008 will be a good one for me, i'm really praying for a good raise and better bonus of course. Hope the year 2008 will bring good luck and success to everyone.

HAPPY 2008
