Just enjoy it~!!

Things getting wild when it's near to midnight. I guess its the best way to refresh our self after working hard since early morning. Everyone is so busy with malam mesra preparation. Helping out whenever we could. I think sewing took the longest time and greatest effort. We were actually helping out in making those barrer for children. Suddenly, one of them said it's nice to wear them. Then another one wears it. After that, they started to partylike crazy! and then snap pictures all around. Everyone whose still there would have to wear them and take pictures. haha.. Thats how tihing got crazier!! hahah...!

Malam Mesra Masai:
Description:
"Melalui pandangan kanak-kanak:Dimanakah kebahagian?"
part1: 2 adik-beradik, Xiao Ai dan Xiao Xin sedang mencari taman impian yang diidamkan.
part2: Tetapi pelbagai masalah timbul: keganasan keluarga, bencana alam & peperangan. Sebenarnya ini berpunca daripadi keburukan hati & perangai manusia.
part3: Xiao Ai & Xiao Xin menyedari bahawa dunia ini akan menjadi aman dan damai jika kita saling hormat-menghormati dan sayang-menyayangi.


My opinion:
well, i guess it's too short. Not sure whether the show last for an hour. I like their idea very much. Very creative. Is just that the way of presenting it is not good. We hardly understand. Maybe they focused too much on live music. Only 2 or 3 songs were played using CD:Indian and Malay dance.The think i like the most is the Jr Group Choir. They were so so cute.


We depart at about 4pm from Batu. Setting our-selves on a hyper-superbly-lousy bus! ~.~!! so dusty. so lau iah. bo air-con!! so hot okay?!! people with spaghetti strep also sweating like hell. At about 6.30pm, we stop at JB to filed our stomach. Then reach our destiny at 7.30++. After the performance, of course, we went back to where we come from. The driver was lost, he had no sense of directions to leave that taman. ~.~! Lastly, we reach Batu kaikan at bout 12am. We all reach home at bout 1.30am. why?? haha.. cause we went out for supper. As in for conclusion, well done to Masai and i enjoy my trip very much! our Batu Pahat Malam Mesra will asure to be very succesfull!! Batu 加油!!

Most Favorable Actor



Raymond Lam appeared to be the most favorable TVB. Bosco Wong and Ron Ng were set on the same placing, 1-st runner-up. erhm, sorry to say that i didn't vote for any 3 of them. I voted for Kenneth Ma. :)Although he's not as charming as the runner-up and 1st runner-up, i see Kenneth Ma to have good looking sight from another angle. He's one of the out standing TVB actor. At most of the time, he took up to 8 jobs for TVB in the year 2003.

Kenneth Ma (born February 14, 1974) is a Hong Kong TVB actor. He graduated from University of British Columbia majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Although he initially intended to pursue a career in engineering, he decided the industry did not suit his personality and enrolled in acting classes at TVB instead despite the better pay and more stable prospects of the former. Initially in his career Kenneth often played supporting roles, however in recent years TVB has started to promote him. He won the 'Most improved actor award' at the 39th TVB Awards in 2006. He was recently handed his first leading role in the drama serial Survivor's Law II opposite Hong Kong singer Ella Koon. The drama aired in 2008 and achieved credible ratings of 31 points in the second half of its broadcast as well as a favourable reception.

ELLA KOON

* Name: 官恩娜 / Koon Yun Na (Guan En Na)
* English name: Ella Koon
* Profession: Actress, singer, and model
* Birthdate: 1979-Jul-09
* Birthplace: Tahiti, French Polynesia
* Nationality: Hong Kong
* Height: 168cm
* Weight: 49kg
* Star sign: Cancer

She acted in a TVB drama named "Survivor's Law II". It's kinda out-date. (i know, sorry.. :) haha) But i love it so so much!! really so in loved with the drama. A drama that YOU MUST watch!! damn great!! Can get the soft copy from me if you one. haha..!! She's so PRETTY!! way to go ELLA!! I LOVE YOU ELLA!! arh~!! ELLA!! ELLA!!







Travelling

Felt like i'm living an out standing life-style. I was at Penang that evening.. the next morning.. I'm at Batu Pahat, Johor. It's only the 2nd week in Nov '08 and i've already travel back and for Pg-Jhr-Pg *TWICE. [350km x 4trip=1400km] walauEh! Travelled 1400km in 2weeks time!! (34HOURS)

haha.. i guess, i'm already use to such long distance trip. I never like traveling, but now, it seems peanut to me. For those who have not been far away from their province, i suggest, u may try. Don't wait until you "....". We as youth must truely challenge our selves.. :)

everyone.. JIA YEW..!!

~HAPPY HOLIDAYS~

26 sept'08-5 oct '08

Pendek kata, this is the best holiday of all. I enjoy myself to the fullest.

haha.. something bad actually happened towards the end of my holiday. I had my last dinner(7pm) with MJ n wiN at a cafe. When i walk off my dinner table, i asked them help to keep an eye on my bag(containing wallet'with all my money i intended to bring along to johor and hanphone). Later, when i'm back on the table, i asked them where's my bag. They said:"dunno ar..". I knew they were playing hike and seek. So i didn't bother to asked them again. After dinner, we when back to our Penang SGM cultural center(PGCC) for our band practise. Until when practise come to an end(10pm), I wanted to make a phone call. I seek high and low but i couldn't find my phone. I wonder where did i misplace them. (a minute later.. oh yah, they were having my bag since dinner) So i asked them, where's my bag. They both got shocked and quickly ran back to the cafe. At that time i was still calm. i just when along with them. We ask the owner of the cafe, wondering any of their worker found my bag. We when asking some of their worker as well. They all saw no. MJ and wiN got really panic and kept trying to apologize. but i'm still calm haha..MJ then told her parents about it. So i just said to her parents, "nevermind, i shall just lodged a police report."

MJ's dad&another 2 uncle accompany me to that cafe again. They went asking around for me. Lastly, we asked a stall nearby the table we were sitting just now. haha.. The auntie said a kid walk pass and saw my bag on the chair. Then the kid leave the bag to that auntie wondering the owner might have be back. (finnally, everyone is releave now. especially MJ n wiN) I thank the auntie and uncles a lot of time. MJ thanked them as well. The auntie and the kid that found my bag was a very honest person. All my belongging were still inside. THANK YOU!! :)

I told them both it's okay. Don't have to feel bad about it. Everything is fine now. Its just a lesson. We are always different from others because we are Gakkai members, we chant daimoku with the believe of Mystic Law. Shoten Zenjin(protective power) is always there to protect us. (smile) Go home and get a good rest. Greet me with a morning smile when we meet again tommorow at practice.

I went home and chanted one hour to thank the kid that found my bag and the hawker auntie for being my shoten zinjin. Thanks to the uncles' effort in helping me so much as well. THANK YOU!

Why do I say it's an amazing week'end'? Well, its suppose to be my final weekend in Johor before I take my second school break (yea~!going back to PENANG). But~! I didn't spend that weekend in Johor. (haha..)

20-Sept-08[Saturday]
As usual, attending practise for Batu Pahat Malam Mesra(BPMM) on Friday night at Batu Pahat.. While practising, i kept thinking about tommorow's trip to KL. (haha..) I was really fortunate that i found a perfect transport to KL.

(16-Sept-08-In Sock Kim's car)
mei™ : Hey, i'm going to KL this weekend. It's a suddent decision of visiting KL Fei Yang's Concert. I'll be getting a bus ticket tommorow evening. Sorry that i can't be attending BPMM 1st rehersal.
Sock Kim: KL? Oh, I'll be going to Cheras for SWS meeting.
mei™ : Really? Where's the meeting? Can drop me at KL? car still got space(without hesitating) ?
Sock Kim: Should be okay cause someone just drop off the trip.
mei™ : Wah?!! really?? okok... thank you. Btw, I think we are heading to the sae place. Cheras SGM Cultural Centre ryte? Thank you. Thank you.
Sock Kim: yah. No prob.
mei™ : GREAT! settle y KL trip transport and get to attend BPMM 1st rehersal. so good!!

After BPMM practise, I overnight at a member's house in BP. So coincident that that family came from Penang as well although I didn't know them, but they do know my uncle. So, On the Saturday morning, another member took me for a breakfast and off we go to KL.
We depart from Johor at about 10.30am and reach at about 1.30pm. It was a surprise for all my friends who came from Penang to attend the concert. (haha..) My kids got surprise of cause. But they pretended as if nothing happen. They even got angry of me cause I didn't tel them I was going to meet them in KL. Well, kids.. You know.. They can't differentiate between 'surprise' and 'lie'.. Seriously, I had lots of fun that day. I even discover that I kind of like traveling. Its no longer a barrier for me.

Went back to Johor after the concert that night, depart from Kl at 10.30pm. Reached Johor at 1.30am. Then i overnight at another member's house. (amazing huh??!)Can't believe my-self travelling back and fore from JOHOR to KL then back to JOHOR on the same day. The next morning, I woke up at bout 7am. Prepared my-self for BPMM 1st rehersal. Though I was very tired that day, I never turn my spirit down. I know I'm playing an important role. I display the spirit of PENANG FIFE-and-DRUM CORPS! JIA YEW!!


BPMM 1st rehersal

RUNSING!!

Since Monday(25-Aug-2008) I'm so so sick!! Really can't take MJ & wiN of my head. Even the song "AND THE FIRE RAGED!!" got stuck in my ear. OH!! Can't believe i don't feel like eating for almost a week time. For sure, i fit my self with lunch. But dinner, not really. Only force my self to have 2 slice of bread.

With the power of daimoku, things get better each day. As in Tuesday, i still cry, but only when people asked, "so how's your holiday?". arh~!! can't help my self again!! It totally drag me back into hell. I stopped crying since Wednesday. Time and daimoku is the best cure for sure. I add on my chanting and amazingly, I ended up chanting for 2 hours. Sometimes even hit up to 2H 30M.

But time ain't enough for me. Will be facing quiz and test in a week time. I lose my concentration. Couldn't study at all. My heart is feeling so tight. I can't released it.(feels like a cramp on my chest) At that time, i only think of daimoku. But Joey is catching a rest, I can't be disturbing her. I then message MJ, but it isn't helping. Then a wisdom came across my mind. It's Cheng Ling. I went to her door but found that her knob was lock. ARHH~!!! (help!! no way man!! com'on how!?) I immediately grab my phone and sms Cheng Ling. I know she's sleeping. But i really need to chant right away. I know she would open the door for me. YES! She really did open her door and let me in. I know I'm disturbing her, I'm sorry. After chanting for half an hour. I felt so much better and get set my mood back to stable. THANK YOU CHENG LING. REALLY THANK YOU! YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO ME THAT BIG FAVOR. THANK YOU!

Soon things get better, I got my perfect smile back on my face when i went for a Batu Pahat Malam Mesra practise. There i met a few Soka friends(non-SGI members) who reminds me of MJ n wiN. Talking to them is like talking to MJ n wiN, it really brings me back to life. So great!! Cheer-up MENDY ONG!!

My life came back to normal until this morning..

ARH~!


MONDAY-25 AUG '08

Reached Batu Pahat Bus terminal at about 8.40am. Glad that my morning class was canceled. So together with Cheng Ling and another 2 course mate’s guy we met in bus, took a taxi. Cheng Ling and I went back to hostel where the other 2 guys went to uni.

I first greet Cheng Ling's roommate when I reached home cause i found my roommate were still sleeping. Slowly I unpacked my luggage. Refolded my shirts & susun them back into my cabinet. Then when my roommate (Joey) were awake, we did a spring cleaning together with Cheng Ling and Hui(Cheng Ling's roommate). After when everything were done, I took a bath. Lastly, I kneel down and offer my morning prayers.

While chanting, i felt my eyes flooded with tears. I don’t know why!! Out of a sudden, these two girls pop up in my head!!


~MJ & wiN~

I really can't help myself. I can't even continue chanting. My tears just can't stop flowing. I quickly end my chanting and then when to the bathroom and wash my cloths. I was crying so badly. I brush my cloths loudly and keep the tap water running at a high speed so that no one would notice my sobbing. I force myself so hardly to stop the tears.

Don't even feel like having my lunch, But I don't want my friends to worry bout me. So I force myself to have a little bit of rice. Can't keep my eyes away from watching my handphone. It just didn't vibrate. In the midst of super boring lecture, I cannot tahan d. So I send a chinese sms to MJ asking didn't she miss me. She then replied."haha.. hu teached u 1.. or u write ur self? so many wrong words.. haha! tats a gud try! miz me meh? i think u ll 4get us lo. haha! juz jok". I was smiling, but my tears roll down again. arh!!!! She makes me feel the relationship between us as they kept calling me “mummy” when I was on my sem break in Penang last week. We continue to sms a few, then I asked to stop sms cause I really can't help myself to stop crying in the class. So crazy me!!

I was crying every hour! After class I message MJ again. Then she says she wants to chant along. We both chanted together on the same time but from different places with the same prayer objectives for half an hour that evening. I'm still crying while I chant actually. After the chanting, I was too tired. Due to a long journey back from Penang, so I took a short nap. Then I awake and continue chanting. Again I sms MJ to give her support for the performance that night. I was so nervous for them. So so sad that I didn't get to perform for the 1st time after joining Fifes & Drums Corps for 12 years. Perhaps, it’s time to learn how to let go a little bit. By the way, it was also the first time ever in any section of the band that actually no senior players to support the section cause we only have 2 seniors in this section which is Teng Chew and I. Teng Chew were conducting for that song. I’M SO PROUD OF YOU, MING JIE & WINNIE!!

I have a class again at 8pm till 10pm. Before I go for my class, I offered my evening prayers and chanted for half an hour. Don’t feel like having my dinner at all, so again I force myself to drink a cup of Milo(~.~!! I spilt half of it). The nervous in me never go away. I chanted along the way as I travel to my class from hostel. My class never starts on time. So I quickly played “And The Fire Rage!” at about 8.05pm which I’ve recorded yesterday during the practice. I can tell you, I’m feeling the hall at BTCC(penang). I don’t know why, the tears never end flowing again and again from my eyes.

After class, I was still nervous because I’m waiting for a victory report from MJ as she have promise to let me know. Staring at my phone like a crazy person just drive me nuts! Not long after that I receive an sms.

From MJ : hei mum! We finished our performance d! on the way home.. do OK! But my real mum said not as loud as ystrday’s prac.. cause BTCC very big ma.. bt still ok! Haha! 2ml no skul! Tat’s our present frm M’sai! Haha! Daddy cum n said thx to us.. he looks happy like a baby..he is “…..” rite? Haha!

We continue with a few sms and we bedded each other good night. It has been a long-long day for both of us.

I was glad that everything were doing fine. Still I was crying. Crying throughout the whole day really make me tired, my eyes & head were so aching that even make me feels like knocking my head at the walls .I have been living in the lowest life-states today. Luckily I have daimoku (Chanting Nam-Myo-Ho-Renge-Kyo). I can’t believe I’ve chanted for 1 hour and 25 minutes that day. But I know that’s the only best thing I can do. Thank you, I knew prayers have been helping me a lot and kept me positive at all times.

I MISS BOTH MY DAUGHTER A LOT!!
