Hey guys,
Happy Halloween! Yup that is what the end of October is famous for every year. People will be wearing all sorts of costume and scare the hell out of you. Well it is actually time to really show how awesome one's costume really is.
Not only that if you are in the US or some countries that does it, you go 'trick or treat'. Yes, that is where the kids will wearing their Halloween costume and go house to house seeking for sweets and candies, but the trick is one must say 'trick or treat'. I've done that before but, that was like back in the Philippines. Cool to get lots of candies, but again the end result too much sweets bad for the teeth if one doesn't brush his teeth!
In Malaysia, Halloween is celebrated on a minor scale based from my observation. Of course there will be parties and stuff....
Frankly, do you ever have a 'supernatural' experience in your life time? YES, I do...
Below is some that I can still recap....
1. I was walking back to my apartment (in the US) and suddenly from nowhere saw this fireball or something like that just zooming across me. Really weird. The funny thing is did saw that in Malaysia like after dawn before the sunrise when I was about to get the newspaper and saw exactly the same thing. Freaky indeed!
2. Some freaking thing was following both my wife and I after we were visiting a friend's place. In the beginning, thought it was probably some animal sound since our friend's place was located near the jungle/forest. It start getting terrifying when this 'thing' which we cudn't see just start following us and making this funny sound. Really freaked us out. Luckily it didn't follow us to our car, but still sort of give u this goosebump!
3. Mysterious knock outside my bedroom door. Again, like some knock on the door and at that time both my wife and I were ready to go to bed. Really freaky cos when I open the door, simply no one. At that time my mother-in-law and my son was sleeping in another room.
4. Another one was one early morning right before the Subuh prayers, came down the stairs doing towards the kitchen and thought saw this 'thing' or 'apparition' standing near the fridge. As soon as I on the light, it disappear! Freak me out!
5. Finally, I saw this 'black apparition' going up the stairs (at home). That time my wife was pregnant and we came back pretty late night from somwhere. It was like floating and going up the stairs and guess disappear. Hell freaky!
Oh well, that is all I can think of for now. If u have your 'supernatural' experience...hey share it...
Cheerios!

Thoisday, TGIF!!!
Yo peeps,
Back again, Thursday as we speak Malaysian time.
Well just wanna share some thots...
Washington Redskins:
There they go again, lost the damn game to Eagles despite playing at homefield. Well it is a good thing they have a 'bye' week this weekend, so definitely time for the team to reflect back and recover from all the tough loses.
Collapse of suspension bridge at Kampar, Perak:
Condolence to the families. Such a terrible tragedy. Well for this case, it has to be take investigated from all angles. Can't simply blame the government since the bridge was upgraded. What important now is not politicizing the issue. Now is time for the rakyat to understand the truth and evidence and conclusion.
Single Stream Schools:
This is the way it should be if we wanna see the Bangsa Malaysia concept come into being. This got nothing to do with racism or anything that is negative in nature at all. Simply if we want to be a country that is developed not just in terms of infrastructure, but also the mind, this is the chance to do so. Wiz the 1Malaysia concept or whatever concept it maybe, then let us implement it gradually then not at all. Just look at countries like Thailand, no doubt they have other multi-ethnic racial group, but they all go to a common school. Think of the future not the past in order for us to be on par with the other powerful economic powers.
Cheerios!

Toosday!
Yo guys,
End of the day, waiting for Wednesday, then Thursday, Friday, Weekend... Gosh, don't u just have the same feeling each time every week.
U know just wanna list out stuff or things that simply annoy the heck out of me. Surely u may have the same experience or thoughts.
1. Driving and not signaling to make a turn (Urrgggh.....these drivers deserve to be in the concentration camp!)
2. Cutting queue at the toll plaza without even considering signaling or show a hand gesture.
3. When someone who doesn't know you and calls you "Hello, Hello..." (HELLO! this is not a phone conversation)
4. Using the toilet and not flushing!!! (They should be imprisoned!)
5. Burping or Belching in the public (so annoying)
6. Double parking unnecessarily or necessarily
7. Parking at no parking zone and causing inconvenience to other drivers
8. Reversing the car when making a wrong exit from the highway (Damn, this is really dangerous because it does affect incoming traffic)
9. Interrupting into someone's discussion or conversation
10. Litter Bugs! Yes simply throwing or littering stuff out of the car! (Gosh, if only I have my bow and arrow)
That is all I can think of for now.

November Rain!
Hey Guys,
Here we are at the final week of October and next weekend is November. 2009 is flying fast and fast. Hope you got your new year's resolution done, if not well 2 more months to go.
Budget 10:
New budget under the PM Najib, well looks good, but let see how it will be implemented. No doubt we are right now in a very critical phase of the global economic crisis so whatever we do it is either do or die....well not die in a literal fashion of course.
VT Hokies
College Football in the States is one of the important highlights of sports in the US. Well, as an avid fan of the Hokies, darn it...sucks they lose to Georgia Tech and not only that they are out of the top 5! Hell man!
Washington Redskins
My favorite football team till today. Been pretty loyal, ups and downs, but still standing strong with them. Hopefully they'll kick some butts at those Eagles.
Sad note,
Condolence to the family if you read the papers recently about some mad dude pour acid on his wife and daughter, resulting wife died and daughter is blind permanently. Well, the good side is he is under arrest by the cops so let justice serve on this maniac!

The Week it was...
Hey guys,
Man it is already 13 days till we hit November and just completed the second last weekend of October. Hope your weekend was a booming one, mine well typical lazing around kinda weekend.
Washington Redskins:
Yup am an avid fan of this NFL team, but again they totally sucked. They lose to another team that really had a winless record till yesterday. Imagine how many years with the change in the coaching, players, etc. it is just not getting any better. Frankly, the best years of the Skins were 1991-92. That time they just simply kicked butts. Whatever it is they surely they need to do a major overhaul now that they are losing badly. Didn't get the chance to watch their games, but for sure by the look of things from the net, they are a in dip shit! (excuse my French!).
'WALK THE TALK' - UMNO
Well, definitely a change for this party. Now after a lot of talk and speeches and delegates got to vote, it is SHOWTIME! Yes, no more time to wait or postpone, UMNO must prove to the grassroots and the mass population that it is seriously on the path to change. Change maybe painful or painless depending on how badly the first few phase will turn out to be. One thing for sure if this change proves to be successful, then the path of UMNO maybe a just the light at the end of the tunnel and could be the party of the 21st century. Now, all eyes and ears will be monitoring the party development and for sure corruption is right now the enemy number 1 that must be stopped at all cost regardless the situation. There is no turning back otherwise it'll just be another white elephant for the party which is the last thing we wanna hear.
Inflight Service Open House
Yup, we've just completed the second Inflight Services Open house on 15 October. Many people from various departments and even vendors attended this auspicious event. Being the host, all the Inflight Services staff had to wear the national costume. It was certainly sweet cos it is chance for us to display our fashion and style. Bump into few old staff and of course frankly they haven't really change a bit (body-wise!). For me darn! been talking of shedding the pounds, it is surely a hard battle for now but still not giving up. Hope to put some pictures of the event very soon. Be on the look out for that.
Okay, that is all for now till again put your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars! Some say...

Immigration encounter at Los Angeles
Hi guys
Just to share, well correct me if I am wrong, but normally whenever you enter the USA, there is always this funny feeling in your stomache or this unsettle feeling as to whether you are going to be okay or not or am I going to be stuck at the immigration.
Talking about the immigration people at the Los Angeles Airport. Despite that one have already a valid US visa, but still u can be held for whatever unknown reason.
In my last trip to the US, thank god, it happen for the better! Yes, the immigration guy actually greeted me and my wife. Ask not much questions, just told me that my stay in the US is short and then in less 5 minutes, we are on the way out to the baggage claim area. Unbeliveable, he is friendly and not creating that so called 'I am the Boss' attitude. Can't remember his name, but he is the first nicest immigration official that i've bumped into. Hope to meet him again or anyone similar to this guy's good professionalism and welcome attitude.

"Mr Lucky"
Hey guys,
Album review; yup was in the US and bought myself the latest Chris Isaak album called, Mr Lucky.
Honestly, it is the typical Chris Isaak type of music. If u are familiar with Chris Isaak, his sound is the guitar strumming melody with broken hearts lyrics that makes u feel happy and feel good about still alive and well on earth!
I've been a Chris Isaak fan since his single, "wicked game". He is definitely a cross between an Elvis and Roy Orbison. Both stars are legends in the rock n roll world!
Anyway, coming back to the album, the sound is smooth and down to earth. One thing that is a first is that one of the tracks (not sure which one) has orchestra backing in the music. Thought that is a first for Chris Isaak.
If you are a Chris Isaak fan, grab it quick. If you are not, recommend that you listen to his early albums and get to know his type of music. His music is the type either u can listen while u drive on the freeway at a steady speed of 90km/h or just lazing at the beach and enjoying the sights and sounds of the surroundings. Personally, you never feel angry listening to his music!

Uncharted Territory for UMNO
Hey Guys,
Now on politics, yes UMNO is making the headlines once again. After a big win at Bagan Pinang, the mood is swinging high especially with the delegates combing the PWTC to make important votes in order to change certain clause or condition in the UMNO constitution. By this is really one of the pinnacle time for UMNO in light of the 12th General Election that totally in the words of Elvis Presley, "All Shook Up" the once feared and loved Barisan Nasional.
It is high time that UMNO must undergo changes for the better of the country. In view of today's and tomorrow's times, the trend is changing. People are becoming more open and understanding and accountability is or are the words of the day. The rakyat are no longer fools of the ever dominated government machinery of the daily tv news or government-like propaganda programs that will perhaps get to vote for them. Think twice or thrice, the rakyat is no longer fooled by this. With the internet, people are given the freedom to explore and share and enrich all sort of information and experience. From here, the people or the rakyat in general can now make important decisions or say personal findings of important issues that may affect his or her life be it in the country or the world.
Okay, coming back to the up-coming UMNO special general assembly, yes it is 'now or never' for UMNO to embark on this major radicalism and reformation. UMNO (even Barisan Nasional) as a whole can no longer apply the 20th century concept of assuming what the rakyat or people wants, but must ACT actively and diligently and act proActively to the current scenario of the country and the world today. It must portray just like what was mentiond by the PM Dato Seri Najib and DPM Tan Sri Muhyiddin, change. Yes, the word change have occurred over and over since the dawn of Man; from the reformation of Soviet Union via Glasnost and Perestroika to the everything that we see today.
For UMNO to change and to be the party of the 21st century, it is vital that it is not just the party of security for Malays and other Bumis, but also to Malaysians as a whole. Bear in mind, the major most constituents are the general public and the so-called silent majority. They will decide who is to be the next government in power.
So people, for the next 3 days, is where UMNO will be making certain important changes that will surely have important implication and affect to the country as a whole. For UMNO and BN, they must make important changes in order to gain that confidence and reputation especially for the next General Election in 2 years time.
For now for any major change to take place, changes must be done or implemented gradually in order for the objective to be accomplished or defined. Recapping the past, any major radical changes can either lead success or failure so it is best that for any change to take place in UMNO, it must be done properly, efficiently, diligently, and delicately.
With the vision 2020 which will be knocking our doorsteps in about 10 years plus from now, hey that is not sure it is coming closer really closer. For us to be successful and to be on part like any other developed or major economic power, we not only change the structure or embark on major scientific, civil projects, but our mindset needs to be ready for the change because our next generations to come will inherit what our forefathers have given to us.
As an admission, yes I am an UMNO youth member from Putrajaya and no doubt personally yes we must embrace change to get UMNO to be the party of relevance for the 21st century and the next century to come. It must not just be the umbrella for the Malays and other Bumis, but also to Malaysians as a whole. Let us make that UMNO not just the party that once feared and loved but also renowned for its kindness, hospitality, and good intentions.
Cheerios!

Home Sweet Home!
Hey guys,
Back to the home country called Malaysia. Phew! finally after a long journey via flight, well I was back yesterday. Again, the effects of the jet lag is still around so still spinning a bit. Kinda interesting that going to the US was like long and tiring, but coming back to Malaysia was like kinda short in a way.
The flight back was just ok, but tiring. Couldn't get to sit at Business Class due to full capacity, so ended up at Economy, but again what matter is got the chance to go back home. Overall, food was okay, inflight entertainment was okay, cabin crew service was just okay. So it was just an okay flight, nothing special or worse to shout about.
Bagan Pinang;
BN finally won and defend their homefield. Well, now is a matter of proving to the public that it is prove to be worthy the next government to come. As for the Pakatan, they'll need to go back to the drawing board and look at themselves in the mirror first. Instead of blaming the election process, askem themselves what can they do to improve and win more hearts of the public.
Washington Redskins;
My favorite American Football team and they just suck man! They lost last weekend to another team which had a losing record. What do they do wrong, the chemistry is not working at all.
Hokies;
VT football is on the roll! They are kicking butts and hopefully will be in the top 3 in the College Football. Wish I was there to watch the games. Hokie, Hokie, Hi, Tech, Tech VPI, Solarek, Solarun.......yada yada yada.
Borders and stuff;
When I was back in the US, it was deja vu since spend most of my teenage life over there. Anyway, was walking wiz my wife; 'window shopping' so went to Borders. U know what really amazes me, their customer service. Yes, we were like walking around Borders and looking for a book and this guy just came up to us and assist us. He even went to the extend of finding the book and its recommended listings. Darn good service. Hate to say this being Malaysian, but man our Borders need some improvement. Not ruling out that there are those individuals who are helpful, but again the impression is what counts. Over in Malaysia, when you are at Borders, you ended up finding the guy and that guy is behind the counter pretending or just looking at the PC. In the US, their staff just walk around the store and finding customer who is in need of assistance instead of the other way around like in Malaysia. It is the 21st century, yes all about customer service. Good customer service bring good business to the stores! Isn't that right people!
Alright that is all for now.
Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the Stars! Some say!

Today is Friday (US time), second last day here before going back to home sweek home!
1. President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize,
What a lucky dude, but again hey with his style it certainly has change the positiveness of the USA to the world unlike the Bush dude. He has opened up the political engagement and wilingness to listen and understand what actually the world think today and not assuming this is the way it ought to think. Again, all eyes are on him so surely he really needs to deliver and ensure that the global community is positive and warmth to the new America. Promises by him is one thing, but delivering it is another. Still early to say, he has anoter 3 years plus to go.
Politics aside, no doubt each and everyone of us have that 'American' in us, it doesn't necessariy mean to have the slang or just simply being brought up over there, but definitely we are influenced directly or indirectly of the 'American' ideas or beliefs. Our cloths, perfume, fashion, fast-food, movies, music,...etc...certainly state it all. You even have British singers or band singin' like an American......!
2. Bagan Pinang,
Politics in Malaysia certainly has gone to a huge spectrum of change since the 12th General Election, we have the PM Najib trying to get the 'silent majority' back to the BN fold. No doubt based from experts Bagan Pinang is a relatively strong UMNO stronghold, but again the Malaysian voters can be unpredictable. The voters today are pretty much know the real issues and how it will impact the generations to come. Who will win? That will be the Bagan Pinang folks destiny to decide.
Trip back to home is tomorrow (US Time), late Saturday evening flight. One thing for sure it is going to be another long trip. Well just have to get myself occupied with the inflight entertainment.
Till then keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars like some say!
Cheerios!

TGIF!
Hey guys,
Finally back on the blog. Been a bit bz, but hey looking forward to the weekend.
Just to share a personal encounter on a Thursday evening. Nothing scary really, just something thot wanna share.
As I was stepping out of the car to go to the ATM machine (somewhere in Puchong), this guy came to me and beg for help. He asked whether I can borrow money. When I asked why, he was a former convict who was finally let go by the prison people. Well, at first I was hesitant and cautious about the whole thing, but after insisting to see the documents from the prison authority and his MYKAD, then I was finally convinced. So I decided to give him 10 bucks. Originally, he asked for 5 becos he wanted to top up his prepaid, but again somehow his begging do touch my heart that definitely strike my sympathy for him.
After giving him the money, then he asked for my number which I didn't bother to give but instead told the guy to be careful and stay out of trouble. He shakes my hand and wish selamat hari raya...and left...
Moral of the story, well it is nice to help someone who is really in need. Just hope that he will not turnout to be an ass nex time (oops, excuse my French!).
