Break Through The Breaking Point

Story left untold, genius hit the pole.
Living in the fast paced world, it ain't easy.
We are equipped with knowledge but we not using it.
We were taught to be aggressive, often we sneak soundlessly.
I was told "old men shall dream dreams and we shall see visions.
Despite, nobody knows its true meaning or least of us know about it
but it sounds like something promising, or achievable.
Our generation are screwed in a way because the upfront road
is long and wide.
So Long, you see no end.
So Wide, you can't find your friend.
Given a scenario,
In the Jungle with two diverged road, we are asked to choose.
One, Discovered with footprints everywhere.
and the other yet to be explored full of long grass and bushes.
Not knowing what will happen in front of us. Obviously, we will
pick the first road which has been discovered and used by many.
Try to reflect back to reality, many of us are so comfortable
and happy staying in their comfort zone, have no intention to
change. I would say something has changed the way we live.
With this, it leads us nowhere but closer to falsehood era.
I can't tell what, but it is really depend on how you define
the craps above.

Change before we get replaced

What so special about 'Sanuk' ?



Hi, we’re Sanük. We’ve been around since July, 1997 when Jeff Kelley started making sandals out of inner tubes and indoor-outdoor carpet. 1998 marked our first full year of operations. While we’ve progressed into semi-proper footwear company (uh-oh), Jeff’s spirit of innovation still serves as the backbone of our little brand. Today, we strive to make products that are as much about funk as they are about function. We’ve found our sandals are happiest when they tread the road less traveled – so we design ‘em accordingly.
Because “Sanük” is the Thai word for FUN, our name is also our mantra.
Our goal is to provide creatively inspired yet thoughtfully designed products for the global outdoor community…mostly because we’re part of it.
Headquartered in Southern California, we are an eclectic little family hailing from Santa Cruz, Seattle, Cardiff by the Sea, the Philippines, Colombia, Hong Kong, and even Papua New Guinea. With your support, we continue to grow and now have distribution across the United States and in over 50 countries throughout Europe, Asia, South America and Australia

Another Day 39 The Discern between Good and Evil

I might be young, but from what I've observed towards a world that fills with Good and Evil has reminded me something. Something that lives inside of us, a good role and a bad role. We were taught to trust in faith but somehow the media often portraits something that are skeptical, giving us the false information. Besides that, We are not sure when comes to making decision especially the tough ones. It seems like Something trying to restrict and the other actually trying to approve us to do things we wanted to do. It happens sometimes, whisperers from both sides telling you what are the consequences/ benefits and the price to play. So how do you differentiate whether it's right or wrong? Often, only through the right guidance and the heart of believing will lead you to the right path. Only God knows!

Another Day 38 Nothing Lasts Forever

6,667,871,675 people in this world, all struggling to survive in this battle called life. How different are we in the eyes of others ? Or rather, how similar are they in our eyes. We're all different in terms of what we are and what we do hence judgments arise from these differences which in turn develop into disputes. We all notice people, like how we are attracted to a certain someone, because they are different, special in other words or like how we wrinkle our noses at people who we label as queer and abnormal. Eventually, one will come to a point in life where he realizes the similitude of truth - that beyond the simple facades, we are the same and that deep down inside, we all break the same way.

Another Day 37 [CHANGE!]

If a glass of wine a day can help me in solving problems, I would bring in cartons of wine but it doesn't help at all, and it brings me more shits in the next morning. Not saying drinking wine is a bad habit or it might lead to something bad, What I was trying to clarify is people have often tried to runaway from reality for the sake of affraid to face the consequences. People are scared of something new or 'Changes' because they are fine with their own 'comfort zone'. They are not willing to change because something might just dissolve away. People have been practising something since the first day and they get used to it. Some people are smart, why so? Living in the fast-paced world, if we didn't accept changes for the past few decades and I can tell there will be no I-phone, Ferrari, Sony, plastic surgery(Girls generation So pretty!!), and etc.. Look at that, wasn't it nice if we accept the changes? And I call it, Technology. YAMAN!! Of course, Technoloy can't beat human because 'WE FREAKING MADE THEM'. Technology can be considered in perfect catergory but human 'NOT'. Not because of the skin colors, not the language we spoke, not the way we wore clothes, and No No No. It's Selfish. We often create a foreskin in order to protect ourselves from others, not sure whether it was a direct spear thrown attack or a backstab, ya... Just purely attack... Many people might look good from the outside but it doesn't mean deep inside of them are fine, their body condition might as bad as a rotten apple. Those who smoke cigarettes, please don't get offended. In the midst of searching the right things to do, or a good direction to start, we often find ourselves asking why are we slowly losing our personalities without reason, commitment goes astray, or even treating the important people in our life badly? To relate back what I said, Human changing overtime. It might sound a bit off or contradicting but try to think about it or picture it. If you can change the way you lived your life today, please be good...

Another Day 36( Stereotype against Africans in Malaysia)

I recall when I was told of a story, it relates to prejudice or a assimilated conception with image invested with special meaning and held in common by members of a group which is called stereotypes. Stereotypes have been existed on this earth thousands years ago and it takes the same amount of time to reflect stereotypes and an ancient mummy. It happens when People reflect their ideas towards someone or groups of people who are different from them. A stereotype can be something to incorporate single word/ phrase or a combinination of words and images. Normally the image is easily understood by others who have the same opinion. Stereotypes can be positive and negative but mostly it tends to make us feel special when someone is being stereotyped.

Malaysia expanded its education sector to students from foreign countries in the early 2000's. The main target was the African students. The universities and colleges targeted the middle income families in African countries and the response for recruiting students was good. The universities and colleges even came out with many campaigns to attract foreign students. As a result of the campaigns, there are more than 4000 students applied the courses that being introduced by the universities and colleges in Malaysia and the numbers still increasing up until today. The main factors that pulled so many foreign students to study in Malaysia because of cheaper tuition fees, living expenses, friendly citizens and many choices of food and beverages.

Due to this, it has become an issue that people who live in Malaysia started paying attention concerning about increased of crime rate. Citizen in Malaysia often addressed the African students as an uncivilized human being, a fierce, brutal, or cruel person with amazing strength and not caring about right and wrong. In the age of modern media technology, Stereotyping through media has reached an apex. The media gives people the negative views of their lifestyle. Besides that, the media plays an important role on telling the truth to every corner in this world, examples like the reporter, movie maker, game maker, internet, and etc. Many of reporters sacrificed themselves to travel to somewhere far in order to get the truth so that the people get the revealed truth. But one of the reporter was killed in Nigeria during a riot and it leaves people a bad impression towards this country, many of the countries in Africa was ruled by the military and the main reason because they are black skin, they cannot control themselves; they rape and kill like what movies have shown. The movie maker made a lot of war movies like tears of sun and etc. The movie described how awful the people who live in Africa are due to economy crisis, high unemployment rate and poor management within the country. They raped/killed their people for no reason in order to conquer the area which does not belong to them. Games like Grand Thief Auto, The Godfather are the favorite games in United States of America, and it was banned in Malaysia for selling it because it contains of many unhealthy activities and it might affect the youngsters in Malaysia. The games often pictured the black people as the main character and the only thing that he does is rob, gangster, drug smuggling, rape and they earn dirty money. Through this, People have made their conclusion indirectly in their mind that they are harmful although they never been through it before. It has threatened the safety of citizen in Malaysia especially those who live in cities because the African brothers might jump out of nowhere and rape or kill them. All of this has happened before and I strongly believe this is the factor that caused citizen living in afraid. Cases like Nigerian Men Wanted for Murder of Two Women and caused Children Traumatized, Nigerian students found dead in Malaysia due to drug overdose, Nigerians are scammers, Three-year-old child raped, abused and sodomized, and Nigerian student become drug smuggler and etc.

People only believe the truths that they have seen or they have experienced it. But people will also jump direct to conclusion without further analyzing, example, when a Chinese/Malay/Indian kills someone, the people ask, “Why did he do it?” But when a black man kills someone they never ask why. Cause they already know: because he is black.

People see things on television but never experience it, if they willing to be on ground to see things themselves or to adapt the environment and it would be a whole new experience. The best thing is to approach them, learn their culture but it does not mean people have to behave like one of them just for the sake of gaining recognition among them. Communication is the best tool to use for building a relationship; many of the citizens in Malaysia could not speak fluent English same goes with the Africans and it creates a big gap between them. If they could break the gap and try to speak to one and another, I believe the scenario will not be as worse as before. Cultural mandate is the powerful thing for every one of us for reaching out different people from different countries and cultures. Humans are gifted the talent to think whereas the animals cannot, this is the fact that we can understand, analyze and judge something consciously. If the stereotype against the Africans in Malaysia still going on and on, then Malaysia should not have opened up the tourism for foreigners but to keep it themselves.

In conclusion, without knowing it, anyone is possible to be one's own enemy. Therefore, the interactions with each other play an important role in order to understand both verbally or literally. Today, every speech that we made may seem harmless, yet it affects the way we approach others as well as to the society in which we exist. There are many choices and the choice is up for us. Through this, everyone can go further without borders and the perception towards someone can be changed.

Another Day 35[Contradiction]

That was then, this is now. As an Asian, I'm proud with my people not because they look alike but there are something we should feel 'Big' sometimes. We often seen conservative,short,coward,arrogant,NO speak English, and etc. We are madly offended by those who makes these Prophecies, Yet how do we differentiate if the only way is through categorization? Look at us, The two largest populations in this beautiful polluted land, the Indian and Chinese who contributes Nasi , Tenaga, pengetahuan, tarian, tatasusila, etika,and so much more for the past few decades. I have no doubt that one day, one of these populations are going to takeover everything because they are coming up like freaking fast. Btw, I'm on the neutral side, I like steak, beacon, sausages and western countries, They seem to be stronger than any other countries. They even have bigger brother than the Asian ): Indeed and it was true enough to say yes, the most powerful thing they are good in is imitate culture. Don't trust me? Try to see U.S, what can you find on their books of history, Nothing. Besides that, their children are raised to be independent and sometimes they won't call their parent 'Mum' and 'Dad' but this, HEY MICHAEL! F*ck off and get out of my room! Maybe you don't often see this in movies but it does happen there. Back to Asian and how they are being raised, They are taught to respect their parents especially father for being the head of the family and this apply to generation after generation.

Another Day 34

I am here not to declare war against anything, but I am pissed off like seriously. How would you feel when someone try to convince your girl friend to break up with her boy friend? I mean what kind of friend are you? Try to put yourself in my shoe when you get that from others and Hey Jovian or whatever its called! I exist as I am, but I don't get it why you want to make things complicated! Everytime I hear your name from my girl friend, I told myself to forgive and forget. Perhaps I did not make enough noise but it doesn't mean I'm Dumb, I just couldn't give myself a reason to hate you LOL. I'm not like angel gracing the lines singing 'hallelujah' type of person. We are still young and we all make mistakes, can't you just pull off the high contrast glasses to judge a people. First two temptations failed, and I've learnt my lesson. But if you're here to ruin my relationship, please make it personal do call me and talk it like a man, stop psycho-ing my girl friend and She's not comfortable with everything you did and that is so not gentlemen. I'm pleasant to accept if you'd like to make a new friend and not add a foe.

For Exam!!

Firstly, client’s brief is the core of the account management whereby when a client meets with an account servicing person the client is supposed to provide detailed information of a few particular parts in order to come out with a campaign at the end of the day to grow the brand. The few particular detailed information that a client has to provide is ;

1) Background information - of the company and product
2) Objectives - marketing and IMC objectives to achieve
3) Target affiliation group - understanding the target consumers based on demographics & psychographics.
4) Current consumer perception - Consumer’s perception of the current product/brand
5) Desired consumer perception - what we want the consumers to feel/ perceive
6) Positioning - Unique selling point of the current product/ brand
7) Campaign Idea - Strategy of the campaign and execution
8) Medium - Types of media/ channels used ATL/ BTL advertising (traditional & new)
9) Timeline - When will it be the dateline to conduct campaign
10) Budget - Amount which is given by client to conduct a campaign for either advertising/ marketing purposes.

By obtaining these information from the client, the person in charge can be able to create a creative “brief” in whereby it provides information for the art directors to plan out an idea or concept in creating final artwork either for print advertisements, radio advertising, TV commercials and others.

Secondly, the “creative brief” is a summary of the clients brief whereby it includes information of a client’s brief in less than two pages or preferably 1 page. The creative team is meant for creating a simplified model in where the creative tam is able to absorb/ understand what is necessary based on client’s request in a less complicated form. Therefore, the creative brief answers the question of how the advertising campaign is going to be like as according to client’s brief. After that, Account servicing person need to write a contact report within 48 hours and send a copy to client as legal document.

Apart from that, a “media brief” is also needed whereby it consists of the campaign idea of the client. What the brief is used for is that it gives the media planners the upper-hand information for strategic thinking when choosing particular media channels to advertise the campaign idea or also give better suggestions on which other media channels which can be put to focus.

Lastly, the “IMC brief” which is a summary of client’s request on integrated campaign in whereby it fully utilizes as many IMC tools as possible. Usually a “360 brief” is compiled more or less the same like a client’s brief but however it is more focused on the execution of the campaign idea. Tools like public relations, advertising, direct marketing and sales promotions are frequently used as requested by clients.

Another Day 33

She waited for me so long, until the old grandfather clock that time forgot.
Endlessly she said, with a tremendous red heart she graped me back from the
midst of silver and cold. Yes indeed, she has the best imperfections that
others don't have, probably the best I've ever met. Perhaps she's not perfect
as in doing housework, cooking meals, or maybe persuading partner but she
has the attitude that keeps her stepping in front, learning, listening,
and also being a good girl friend. "No body's perfect" is haunting me for
quite some time, I've learnt how to let go what's not important in a
relationship and pick up what's good in life. So it was fun, I have a good
past life and that's what made me standing on the top today. And here is
December, I named this blog after her because this love like winter, no more
running in circle, just you and me, together from years before until the years
after before the end approach. Whisper me, I would love to... Clearly I remember
Han Ling, how I being called with a soft spoken voice. I heart you Mel!!
I will take you back to the start when we first met under the stars.

Another Day 32

Emerge! When I said it I mean it and did it because I need it.
Do you believe that success is a combination of talent and hardwork?
Ps. Kong teachings throughout the whole weekend really blow up my mind,
like seriously. It was a great experience also a good time to put on hold
my pending jobs and spend the rest weekend with my church members and God.
I've realized things are not easy to be done when you say it without
taking action. I told myself "hanling you got to be a doer, in future
you going to be a great person out there serving God, helping people,
and contribute something to the publics. " So from now onwards, I will
start purchase more books, do more meditation, observe more, and pray more.
Pray is the secret that unlock everything. When was the last time you said
a prayer? probably none of you could remember. So start practise it today
and repent before the end of the world. On the other hand, I have been busy
working my assignments. In the midst of rushing, I hate other people make
things complicated like postponed meetings, late, and giving out unrealistic
ideas and comments. I mean a leader should give a good impression to his/her
members so that others can put trust on you. So I would like to encourage all
the leaders to buck up.

Creative of Marketing

I saw this once when I was reading a book.
After few months, I saw it posted up by Jillian (:
Nothing special but those who are in this field
they should know and I found it interesting.

The buzz Word in today's business world is MARKETING. However, people often ask for a simple explanation of "Marketing." Well, here it is:

You're a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say, "I'm fantastic in bed."
That's Direct Marketing.

You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome guy. One of your friends goes up to him and, pointing at you, says, "She's fantastic in bed."
That's Advertising.

You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed."
That's Telemarketing.

You see a guy at a party; you straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, "May I?" and reach up to straighten his tie, brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed."
That's Public Relations.

You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and says, "I hear you're fantastic in bed."
That's Brand Recognition.

You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He fancies you, but you talk him into going home with your friend.
That's a Sales Rep.

Your friend can't satisfy him so he calls you.
That's Tech Support.

You're on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses you're passing, so you climb onto the roof of one situated towards the centre and shout at the top of your lungs, "I'm fantastic in bed!"
That's Junk Mail.

Another Day 31

There are no flowers, outside my mind.
There'll be no friends gracing the lines.
just fold my hands tightly, I do.
I'd show a smile, but I'm too sarcastic,
I'd share with you could I only speak,
You aren't allowed to access, Cause
I'm in line and you're out of the line.
But only if you cross that line and
come into my line, I'm going to tight
you up so freaking so high.
Once a again, do not cross that line
before I change my mind, you wouldn't
want to mess with this chinese guy.

_____________________________________

I recall when I was told of bedtime story
of crushed velvet, candle wax, and dried up
chilis. The figure on the bed all dressed up
in violets, calling beckoning to sleep,
offering a dream. Words were as mystical as
purring animals. As I fall asleep, I fell
into yesterday. My dreams seemed not far away.
I fell into fantasy, I could touch her lips.
Everyone was dancing, no one could see us.
Nothing could hurt us then. I would rather
stay here the rest of life if only I could
escape from the reality.

Another Day 30

Good day! It's been a while since I played an exciting
sport. I was hesitating whether should go or not while
Kenneth asking me to join them cause too tired after
having a long unsastisfied presentation. So I just
said "Yes" hang down and go... 6.30pm kenneth reached
my place and fetch me, we had some toasts while waiting
for the rest. 7pm set off and reach there around 7.30pm.
The challenger sport center moved to somewhere further
from cheras and it looked really nice. I used to go
there for badminton training every thursday night.
So I've managed to meet some young adults after
alan introduced to me and most of them are nice.
We all played a good game and I really satisfied
with the end result (: Guess what! I scored Freaking
6 goals. You must be thinking I'm boostful but
seriously I'm not. From your point of view, I must
be a Kaki Bangku,Tangan Bangku freaking teenager.
Dare me and I will show it to you. I'm not good in
field games, but anything related to ball, I'm in.
Recently just gained my first MU jersey that has
just brought over from UK. COOL! Btw, Currently
I'm addicted to a game called 'Happy Farm' and it
sounds childish for many of you but Do I look like
I freaking care? Of course no.. Me and my buddy
VINZ quite enjoy with it. It's flexible, managable,
popular, harmless, costless, and etc. Basically
all you need to do is buy seeds from the shop,
plant it and wait and not watch the hours fall,
then harvest your crops. You can go to your barn
to sell your crops or redeem gifts. the most
enjoyable part is to get into your buddy's farm
and steal their crops, besides stealing, you can
help to fertilize, clear the weeds and etc.
I even came out with a briliant idea by recording
down all the crops information, harvest time, cost
and experience. It doesn't eat me much time cause
I downloaded the file to make me easier to refer
my crops growing stage. All of this just tidbits
crackers for me, cause there is something important
for me to look forward for it. It's you, always you
and forever. I'm missing you badly not every single
moment but most of the time, I had my heart set on
you, together in aussie. Waiting for reunion...

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

Another Day 29

There goes my love, to somewhere far from here.
Pulling my face like a cooked meat left
overnight. I came up with a brilliant idea a
few days ago and I'm quite sure about it.
Random is the name given by me, which stands
for acting/having no specific purpose/objective
while doing something. People have said many
times about me acting randomness in the class.
But some said that's where the good ideas come
from. I never doubt that (: Embodied revolution.
I'm just answering/ asking question from different
point of view. Hey peeps, looking things from
a different perspective isn't a bad thing, plus
it won't lead you to somewhere else. If you thought
you had enough thinking while judging a decision,
I would have thought twice times more than you.

Sunday, November 8, 2009

Another day 28

It's been a long time and have not touched you for ages. I was wondering what makes you act like that these days. Come on! I'm having serious thought, trying to figure out what's the matters?
And why should I Scream for? This is my theme park. How's the fudge taste? I'll make you like a fudge cake. It sounded like random for most of you but try to picture that.. There lived an unhappy guy, facing all the consequences alone and pretending he's doing alright. But no, he's not alright.

Another Day 27 (Does God Really Exist)

On a bright windy morning in the class room,
A professor is giving a lecture about "God doesn't exist",
he prove it by claiming if God created heaven and earth, and thus created "evil".


This make God is evil too. Among the students, little Einstein is one of them.
Upon hearing this, little Einstein stood up and ask the professor...
"Does cold exist?"the professor replied "of course yes,
what kind of question is this? hadn't you experience cold before?

""Wrong!" little Einstein said. "Cold is not exist,
according to the law of physics, is it only the absence of heat we feel cold"
Then little Einstein proceed and ask another question. "Does darkness exist?
""Yes" the professor said.
But little Einstein replied "Wrong!". "Darkness doesn't exist either,
we can't study the darkness but the light, it is the absence of light thus we feel is dark

""In the same way, Evil doesn't exist, God didn't created evil, evil is the result of man does not have God's love present in his heart"

-Albert Einstein-
Matthew 12:35A
good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

Another Day 26

I can see his stinky face inside the TV, like a fudge cake.

There is a delusion that some day some Sinners will become a God.
There is a cold-blooded people have been isolated like a vending-machine
There is a non-marginal black despair, like a Satan-like imprint in the bottom of their heart.
But,
There is a Love I believe I can take you out from there.
