Finally, after much procrastination, my most awaited blog (by me the only one); my blog is up and on air. Finding the best title that I can ever put to set this whole thing up is a headache. My blog in short "My P.L.S" is meant for both sharing and discovery learning with everyone in the world who view and are interested in my StOrIeS. Would sincerely appreciate anyone who wish to key down any comments, ideas, feelings or whatever at the end of each "My P.L.S" master piece....

Great Year 2007 ...
(Last Shot of picture in my office for Year 2007)
In less than 12hours, the clock will strike 12am. Hence, goodbye would be said to Year 2007. It has been a lot of venture done this year. Going up the deepest meaning of life and love. At the same time, climbing up the highest mountain of realization and joy. Not forgetting, being lost in the dark of a long inhibited cave of the nature. All these would be gone and shall be remembered deep in my heart and up on my wonderful brain forever.
Before it's too late, before I stake the 2007 experience as memory down back my brain, before the countdown begin, I'll wish to put down all achievement and things I could improve more this year to be widely remembered by all.
Year 2007 has been a tough year for me. Tho its tough, I would always take it as an opportunity for me to do and to be better in all I'm going through. This year :
1. I have traveled to lots of places for holiday and for work : Malaysia : Fraser's Hill, Club Med Cherating, Adeline's Rest House (Gopeng), Berjaya Hills, Lake Kenyir, Desaru Johor, Genting Highland, Port Dickson, Terengganu, Penang, Ipoh, Chilling Waterfall, Indonesia : Bandung (Jan), Bali (Jan) Singapore
2. I have had a better understanding on how to appreciate things and someone I have in my life. Be it someone special or just a normal items that seems to be useless to me.
3. I have found ways to improve myself financially. (yeah... close to one of my life goal : Financial Freedom)
4. I have decided that I shall be staying on in People Development as my career.
5. I have been through a dark & tough 2 months where there's no light to help me to move on.
6. I have put myself in bad shape financially. (I am still positive despite all challenges ahead)
7. I have managed to organised a Training Camp for KL SJI A/C since myself becoming an Officer 3 years ago. Thx to the organizing committee : Calvin, Yip Yun, Eugene
8. I have paid for the most expensive hair cut since I was born in 1981.
9. I have made a wrong investment in one of the most expensive non physical item on my list. (Still finding ways to adapt to it... but am still positive)
10. I realized I have a bunch of close and trusted friends.
11. I get to extend my personal connection to a larger pool of people.
12. I had lots of fun & experience during the SJAM National First Aid Competition in Terengganu.
13. I missed the Spiderman Premier show in KLCC that I got it for free.
14. I've got myself an ear ring without going to pierce my ear!!! (magnetic ear ring.. lol)
15. I have had a wonderful birthday celebration in Genting Highland (Thank you to you... )
16. I enjoyed nice food in Adeline's Rest House - home cook food ; Kuantan - Cendol, Roti Canai, Beef Noodle Soup, Asam Laksa ; Puchong - Water Lily (BBQ Lamb), Yong Tau Foo ; Taman Paramount - Fish Ball, Black Glutinous Rice with Tong Yuan ; Bali - Babi Guling ; Johor Bahru - some inner parts of a pig body food ; Terengganu - Ho Yum
17. I have watched "The Secret" that have changed my perception and thoughts in looking things in life. "Everything is what you think. You attract what you think in Life - Law of Attraction"
18. I have realized that "Law of Abundance" exist. it says "everything in this world is enough for everyone to be happy, to be wealthy, to be satisfy...."
19. .......
We have so many memories, how much can we keep until the day we have our last breath? My friend recently told me, "another year has pass, its so fast". Not wanting to agree that the year is passing fast, I explain to her...
"Most of the time we think the times fly because we did not notice what we have done throughout the whole year. We have achieved so many things in life, in work, in study or in whatever it is without us even knowing it. If we do think carefully and recall what we have done in Year 2007, all of us will be surprise that we have done so much. Hence, the time did not fly, we flew faster than 365days. "
I have just recalled what I did this year. Have you?

KL SJI A/C Training Camp 2007
Day 1
I reached only at night as I was working that day in Bukit Jalil Golf & Resort (on program). As soon as I got into the class room, I started my first agenda for the camp. "Equipment Run". Sharing some ideas and thoughts about the equipments in the first aid kit as well as some other equipment. Later that night was their orientation night.
Day 2
This is the day where the members strength and mind are being put to test. Commando Endurance, MEFA, games, and other brain cracking activities have pull them down towards the end of day 2. Brain storming session was done at night. Getting members to put themselves in different roles and write what they think about their own division
Day 3
After 2 days of running around and strength test, the last day of this camp wasn't any easier. The ultimate activity was being put on the last day. When you are tired and not having enough sleep, how far can you push yourself?KL SJI A/C members pushes themselves to the max (at least to finish up the task). Oh yeah, the last activity for the camp is "First Aid Amaazing Race". It taps the members on teamwork, trust, ideas sharing, and of course quality.
It is always hard to start and its even harder to mantain. However, it always come from the first step. Without it, nothing will ever happen giving the time for another 10 more years. Even the participants level is low this year, at the minimum, this is the first step in getting a camp being organize. More shall come in the future. Good job guys and may all of you have a wonderful experience in the division until the very last day as a cadet member of SJAM.
Great work to Yap Calvin (Organizing chairman), Yip Yun & Eugene. Also thanks to Yoke Choy, Yoke Teck and also Shiau Wan for all help given. Be it small or big, we appreciate it.

* AcRoSs ThE uNiVeRsE * - Movie
At some point it was like some Hindi movies with people coming out from no where and the main actor will sing and the rest of those dancing. Certain part it was more like an MTV. Yet most of those songs are good and I would say its nice. Knowing it later that it was from Beatles. The longer I sat down on Seat H7, the more I understand the story and slowly letting the uncommon way of music being presented in a cinema to bypass my defence system. No doubt there's certain part where its kinda boring and kinda over acting in some of those songs sessions.
This movie is about a guy(Jude) who left Liverpool to look for his father in one of the university in America. Hence, lead him in knowing another guy (Max). This encounter change their pathway and later on leads them to New York. It is in a room they rented in NY that brings together a group of friends which soon to be formed. Sadie (the landlord lady), Prudence, JoJo, and Lucy (Max's sister cum Jude's gf). It projected the life of each person on how they get to know each other, doing what they want, and how the love relation sparks, later blown off and finally being together again.
Watching this show has given me an insight on the miracle of people meeting one another. Staying together for a chat or two, working out some projects, forming into a deep relationship; not knowing the fact that we meet everyone because miracle took place putting all from everywhere in one place. The place where friendship made, the place where love ones found, the place where strength is build, and the place where memories are embedded. Besides it also tells that at one point of anytime, there's so many thing happened around us. Do we realize it? Do we appreciate it?
All in all *AcRoSs ThE uNiVeRsE* is a good movie to be watch if you can adapt to switches from Hindi type to MTV type and if you like Beatles's songs. Mmmm... maybe its not so nice after all. It's just a compilation of all music videos in a movie. Can watch it everywhere I want. Well I think I still have mix feelings, what about you??

* ChOiCe *
It's such a simple word. Yet we always have problem in making a ChOiCe. In between now and future. In between needs and wants. In between money and friends. In between love and sex. In between Heaven & Hell.
Six alphabets word has the power to make our lives goes up & down, being messy and having a state of stressful mind. Has anyone ever wonder WHY ChOiCe exist in the first place? Has anyone wonder WHY do we need to make a ChOiCe?
Recently I have gone through a few months long tough time (still do but settle down quite abit). Everything a young energetic guy who is out in the community pursuing his career path would ever imagine, is happening. Be it relation, work, personal finance, and etc; all came at the same time. Juggling to cope with everything is the hardest things in life so far. Hence, ChOiCe came in and there I am facing the fork road to continue my quest of a life time.
I always think and always will, ChOiCe is in our hand. In any situation that we encounter, we are given option to choose what we want, what outcome we hope to see, what decision we need to make, and which road we plan to walk. We may have limited options at times, but it is our mind, our heart, our hands & legs to choose the best ChOiCe that we could make at that point of time.
Life is short some says. I would say, it doesn't matter whether Life is short or long, as long as we enjoyed it and make gratitute everyday on things we have, on people we knew, on sweet memories that we felt, on everything that would gives you hope and happiness. Enjoy what you have now and accepting everything that happens in life is the best ChOiCe one would ever make. Its easy to say; hard to do.
