when life gives u lemon, made lemonade out of it...
when life kick dirt in your eye, make sure u kick it's teeth out
we operate by how much capacity we want not how much we need.... if u want something, go out there and get it.... don let anybody say that u can't achieve anything... thats what loser do... if u want something go out and get it
nothing is impossible and impossible is nothing....

until the end of time
ListenWoke up this morning
Heard the TV sayin' something
'Bout disaster in the world and
It made me wonder where I'm going
There's so much darkness in the world
But I see beauty left in you girl
And what you give lets makes me know
That I'll be alright
Because if your love was all I had
In this life
Well that would be enough
Until the end of time
So rest your weary heart
And relax your mind
Cause I'm gonna love you girl
Until the end of time
Now if you're ever wondering
About the way I'm feeling
Well baby girl there ain't no question
Just to be around you is a blessing
Sick and tired of trying to save the world
I just want to spend my time with you girl
And what you give me
Lets me know that we'll be alright.
Cause if your love was all I had
In this life
That would be enough
Until the end of time
Heard the TV sayin' something
'Bout disaster in the world and
It made me wonder where I'm going
There's so much darkness in the world
But I see beauty left in you girl
And what you give lets makes me know
That I'll be alright
Because if your love was all I had
In this life
Well that would be enough
Until the end of time
So rest your weary heart
And relax your mind
Cause I'm gonna love you girl
Until the end of time
Now if you're ever wondering
About the way I'm feeling
Well baby girl there ain't no question
Just to be around you is a blessing
Sick and tired of trying to save the world

And what you give me
Lets me know that we'll be alright.
Cause if your love was all I had
In this life
That would be enough

june 29
i read the newspaper, it says wanting a public or open debate between PAS and UMNO, to talk on unity...
i seriously find this so call open debate is for entertaiment sake... i don think malaysian as a whole is open for this type of thing yet... why would i say so.. this is my take... these two individual will debate... questions were ask from the juror which said he picked these question out from the audience which i doubt... these two fella will then debate back and forth... at the end of the day... if u r a PAS supporter u will support PAS in the end, if u're an UMNO supporter u will end up supporting UMNO as well.. so whats the point of debate actually.... to make each party loses face?? or just to put up a show
in the beginning, i thought parkatan rakyat is the so call new era, to bring hope and changes to the much corrupted goverment.. i don know if u blogamaniacs agree with me but how can we run away from corruption... yes!! we can do it.. of course it's possible but it's very unlikely... corruption get things done... i have experience it myself countless time in getting many things done through corruption....
summon, paperwork to getting licence... to almost everything....
anyway back to the topic, now what did the pakatan rakyat do?? i tell u what i think they did... they put up some monkey show... here and there... it's like they're in entertaiment weekly.. my god!! open debate, walk out, this crap that crap.... embrassing if u ask my opinion...
both PR and BN is equally bad... like fall on a stone or a hard place....
i met with a few friend of mine as i was about to meet up with my customer today.. i'm happy for them... the last time i meet up with them, both of them r single.. now they r having their very own partner... i'm happy for them of course.. we talked for a while...
the first guy told me he kinda hard to accept that his current gf have dated many guys before him... i mean if u can't accept it, then drop it... yea... it's hard but hey... think it this way... sometimes we will meet lots of jerks before we meet the right one so consider yourself the right one... those r past either way... she makes mistake here and there but its that what shape who she is and this is the person u fall for... if she didn't go through these shit... u won't like her... yea, finding excuse for her but the guy should think this way and not negative all the time... it's law of attraction... remember, u keep thinking negative, negativity or bad shit will come to u.... this is proven every time.... without fail
second guy told me, his gf r demanding and emotional... it's hard to cope with her needs... these type of women i consider as easy to handle... just do your best and i mean very best... raise the shit bar up... these type of emotional and demanding women... won't survive long outside... even if she broke up with u and seeing other guys... she will realize how good u r and will always come back... because no guys will tolerate her shit... when she did come back... it's your way then... if she didn't?? don't worry too... u'll be the benchmark for the rest of her life and she will feel the "if" effect...
i seriously don't understand girls... i don have much experience to share on but i knew... life overall is tough shit and is never fair... relationship, career or whatever it is... u just need to know what u need to do and stay positive...
feelings or emotion is your feedback when u feel angry, unhappy, sad or mad... thats mean u r thinking negative
if u r feeling good, happy and everything nice.. then that means u r thinking positive because the feedback is good... then keep thinking that way...
whatever shit u're in... how tough relationship goes, u just need to stay positive and trust yourself.. she cheated?? evaluate why she cheated instead of getting all angry.... there's a reason for everything..... don think or worry too much why she is doing this, doing that, will do this or do that...
seriously, i do mind but i knew i can't do anything... its their life.... u can't even manage your own life, u want to manage others... please don be pathetic....
i tried in many of my own way to send my message across but i never success at doing so in a relationship... i resort to just do what i can and stay positive... if she is to understand she will but if she don't... what can i do??
everyone is actually very stubborn in their own manner... i always said, keep an open mind... who can actually do this... not even myself... who can actually take criticism... who is willing to change their comfort zone??
we live only once.. might as well make our presence felt... if u think u love that girl... go ahead and don let go.. we live once and love once... love base on logic?? if a very very sensible way but then we only live once... work already uses logic... love still go for logic?? then that my friend... u have yet to experience love
for love make u do retard things... no offense to retard people but they make u do silly things..
humans r only flesh and blood if emotions, feelings and love does not exist... robots r only metal and only metal because they don have feelings.. .but remember work and personal life should be diff.. for work u have to do it base on logic
many say money is not everything... i agree but it would be great if i have many... i have meet with many rich people... i'm jealous of those shit.. i don know about u.... i'm not willing to settle for less.. we all have the same brain.... they can drive BMW, guccis shirt and everything... why can't we?? and no.. they don't start rich... they dare to think rich....

radio
i overheard this from the radio... "if u don't make time for your friend, your friend will make time to gossip about u... mix fm in support of spending time with your friend"
now... spending time is ok.. but seriously... friend who gossip about u... how many time can u spend with these type of people.. moreover.. let's be honest... everyone gossip about everyone... so firstly, it's nothing special.. secondly.. if the gossip ever go out of hand, it's only gossip afterall... thirdly, y u need to spend so much time on gossip friend either way... like u join their gossip clan or some sort?? what?? high school??
this is what i believe in... friend will always be there... close one never leave u, good one always stay, normal one will always be normal one... ok that explain why i don't have much friends... lol
but thats my take
i used to have someone told me this before.. i never understand why someone would join some particular club... like the "lord of the ring club", "harry potter club", or the DOTA club...
no offense... i believe it's just people of same interest getting together so i don't see any harm in it... providing u don't spend too much time doing unproductive things... else, i think it's ok in whatever club u're in... i want to be in some sort of club but unfortunately, i have yet to find an interesting one...
flying kite is by the way, not a club... it's a hobby... asking people to go fly kite is also another hobby.. lol
has anyone actually been to lim kok wing?? yea the so call college or university... to be honest, it doesn't look like a school... it looks like a marketing hub...

anyway... greenday just launch their new single.. 21 guns which i consider as awesome... greenday still kick ass...
nothing in particular is going on for these few days... someone complain that my dark circle is getting from bad to worse.. urging that i need more rest... seriously... i have my fair share of rest and i don think i need more... less problems.. yea.. thats what i need...
i got a friend who called in and talked earlier today... he said... eh, what happen... your blog not updated as often as before... why har??

battlefield
a friend asked me how u define by cheating.. some say when holding hands occur... some say hugging while others told me.. start talking on the phone
this is my take... deal is broken when u kiss someone else...
seriously... i hate ppl who cheat or don't respect the term relationship...
treat it like a game... but i believe in karma... what goes around comes around...
it seriously pisses me off seeing these type of ppl.... be it guys or girls.... what is happening in the society of nowadays??...
at this moment i have resign myself to the term loyal... this thing doesn't seems to exist anymore... and of course.. fairness?? another crap... life is never fair...
it's all about survival of the fittest.... u can give your all to the girl but if she is to dump u.. she will still dump your ass... this is what i think... u don't need to give your all.. u just have to be the fittest of all... trust me on this.. there r many losers outside..
i have seen many losers too... losers who taught they r winner.. this is the funny part... go fly kite~!! try the open field in pandan indah...
ooh by the way if many blogamaniacs think life is tough and that it's never fair... welcome to my world~!! life keep kicking dirt in my face, spit at me and stomp me down.....
life want to be unfair and tough crap on me... going all ape shit as if LV is having a free giveaway... well, u better take your shot now because u won't have that chance anymore as time goes by...
those ass that look down at me.. keep looking down... i don want u to see what's in font of u anyway...
life is a battlefield so go grab your armour...

just watched the movie drag me to hell... it's a fun scary movie and i enjoy the movie a lot... to watch it with someone special make it nothing but special... i really enjoy the outing...
i'm in estatic mode today after learning i past with "ok" grade for my studies on last semester... i'm relief because i knew i didn't put much effort and work into it... now that the marks r out... it's time to pull up my socks...
i have a talk with a friend today... he's in the banking line doing personal loan... he didn't do too well the first month and have to settle for a zero sales.... way behind from his target... his second month was not too good as well... 14k.... i thought it was a decent job... 14k in his second month... though still far from his target... i thought he deserve a pat on his back... unfortunately he don't think so and even already prepare his resignation letter...
honestly... i think thats weak...
seriously.. winner never quit and quitter never wins.... someone once told me she disagree with the statement.. knowing when to retreat or quit doesn't mean u lose because u always come back stronger....
correct me if i'm wrong.. coming back also means u did not quit
i never understand ppl who quit.. i mean come on... just because u did not hit the target... u continue and give your best... resign?? it's not even about getting jobs elsewhere but the mentality which quit half way...
giving me excuses saying everybody is doing the same thing or saying "prospect" is the problem... y always blame others and never take a look at yourself..
this is my take.. he surround himself with too many losers who keep his mind with those losers attitude and thinking... u c... thats y these ppl r at the lower end of company... try talk to the higher end in the company... u will c a different mind set...
everyone is the same.. and it's the mind set that makes ppl different from each other... i meet with countless... yes... take my word... countless successful ppl...
we're talking about bosses, top of the chain, rich and respected individual... seriously.. these ppl r so damn rich that u began to wonder... WTF is the difference between u and him...
by the way if u think they all started rich... u r so wrong...
these ppl r success because of the enormous belief they have for themself... motivated and driven to be successful..
when ask if u want to be richer.. everyone want to... but how many actually evaluate and willing to make changes... only know telling ppl "i wish i had more money, i wish my salary is higher, i want this but i don't have money"
i'm shock at how many ppl understand the law of attraction and how many motivated ppl r aiming to be success but i am on the other hand also shock at the number of ppl who r plain dreamer and know how to bitch around...

target were set dated back at the middle of june to hit 3 Rf machines by mid july. I'm glad that at this rate we have successfully get 2 Rf machines sold. Now there's 1 more to go before mid of july...
as said... why afraid of height when u r touching the clouds...
i never understand guys who dated 2 girls at 1 time... more and more i don understand why girls constantly fall for this thing... yes!! guys can really sweet talk but it's sweet u're buying... taste good but it gives u bad teeth... and worst of all.. it got no nutrients....
sweets r good once in a while but not all the time... of course this coming from a dude that can't sweet talk... this is my take... u don't need sweet talk to get a girl's attention... u speak with confidence... funny and confidence...
but this is how the society shape... fair or not.. those ppl that sweet talk always come in as a person with flair and slick.. these ppl seems proud of what they r doing even if it means dating few chicks at a same time...
feeling is important with the right person, right timing, right feel, right qualification.... so not easy to get that.... found already, stick with it...
ladies always decide with emotions so i'm not even going there but guys.. come on... u r better than this...
please....

motivation of the day
For every good, there must be a bad. For every positive, there must first be a negative. For light to exist, there must first be darkness. For every market boom, there must first be a crash. For you to experience happiness, you must first experience sadness. For you to experience pride and inspiration, you must first have experienced disappointment and adversity. The greater the initial failure and disappointment, the sweeter will be the pride of success.
So, how does this apply to your life? Well, instead of fearing and feeling lousy because of the bad stuff that happens in your life, get optimistic and know that there lies a great opportunity that always goes along with it.

Honda Motor Corporation
I am sure you have heard of Honda Motor Corporation, one of the most successful automakers from Japan. Again what made Honda a success was that its founder, Soichiro Honda was able to take the hardest hits and still get up and move forward.
In 1938, while Soichiro was still in school, when he started a workshop to develop the piston ring that he hoped he could sell to Toyota. He worked 7 days a week, even sleeping in his workshop at times. When money ran out with no success, he pawned his wife’s jewelry for working capital.
Finally, came the day he completed his piston ring and was able to sell it to Toyota. However, he was told that the rings did not meet their standards! Soichiro went back to school for 2 years to improve his invention only to suffer ridicule when the engineers saw his design.
He refused to quit. After two more years of struggle and improvement, he successful won the contract with Toyota. He needed to build a factory to supply Toyota. Unfortunately, his timing was bad. At this time, the Japanese government was gearing up for war and needed all the concrete for the war effort, so he could not get the concrete necessary to build his factory.
Instead of giving up, he invented a new concrete-making process that enabled him to build the factory. With the factory now built, he was ready for production, but again, his luck was bad. His factory was bombed twice by American war planes and steel became unavailable, too.
Instead of giving up, he started collecting surplus gasoline cans discarded by US fighters – “Gifts from President Truman,” he called them, which became the new raw materials for his rebuilt manufacturing process. Again, his timing was bad. An earthquake hit and his factory was destroyed the third time.
After the war, an extreme gasoline shortage forced people to walk or use bicycles. Soichiro saw this opportunity and built a tiny engine and attached it to his bicycle. His neighbors wanted one, and although he tried, materials could not be found and he was unable to supply the demand. He also didn’t have the money to build another factory to make these ‘motorbikes’.
He still didn’t quit. he wrote letters to 18,000 bicycles shop owners and asked them to pay him in advanced so he could build his factory to sell them his newly invented motorbikes. Unfortunately, the first models were too bulky to work well, so he continued to develop and adapt, until finally, ‘The Super Cub’ became a success and took Japan by storm. With success in Japan, Honda began exporting his bicycle engines to Europe and America.
This was how the Honda Motor Corporation was formed. Was that the end of his problems? Nope! As he ran Honda, it went into lots of financial problems. Honda also went near to bankruptcy five times, only to be turned around just in time. Everytime he took a hit, Soichiro would just get up, learn from his mistakes and keep moving forward.
Today, Honda Corporation employs over 100,000 people in the USA and Japan, and is one of the world’s largest automobile companies. Honda’s excellent engineering and clever marketing even resulted in Honda motorcycles out-selling Triumph and Harley-Davidson in their respective home markets.
So, the greater the success you want in life, the bigger the hits you got to be willing to take. Success too has a price. The price is massive rejection, frustration, and hardwork, People never succeed either because they thought that success comes easy or because they are not willing to pay the price!
In 1938, while Soichiro was still in school, when he started a workshop to develop the piston ring that he hoped he could sell to Toyota. He worked 7 days a week, even sleeping in his workshop at times. When money ran out with no success, he pawned his wife’s jewelry for working capital.
Finally, came the day he completed his piston ring and was able to sell it to Toyota. However, he was told that the rings did not meet their standards! Soichiro went back to school for 2 years to improve his invention only to suffer ridicule when the engineers saw his design.
He refused to quit. After two more years of struggle and improvement, he successful won the contract with Toyota. He needed to build a factory to supply Toyota. Unfortunately, his timing was bad. At this time, the Japanese government was gearing up for war and needed all the concrete for the war effort, so he could not get the concrete necessary to build his factory.
Instead of giving up, he invented a new concrete-making process that enabled him to build the factory. With the factory now built, he was ready for production, but again, his luck was bad. His factory was bombed twice by American war planes and steel became unavailable, too.
Instead of giving up, he started collecting surplus gasoline cans discarded by US fighters – “Gifts from President Truman,” he called them, which became the new raw materials for his rebuilt manufacturing process. Again, his timing was bad. An earthquake hit and his factory was destroyed the third time.
After the war, an extreme gasoline shortage forced people to walk or use bicycles. Soichiro saw this opportunity and built a tiny engine and attached it to his bicycle. His neighbors wanted one, and although he tried, materials could not be found and he was unable to supply the demand.

small talk
i have a small talk on msn with a friend today... he talks about himself being a joke and how tough it is staying with his family too...
i came across this story and i relate this story to him.. this is how it goes
"When u grow up and it's time for u to take on the world, u did just fine but somewhere along the line, u changed. U stop being u. U let people stick a finger in your face and tell u that u're no good. And when things got hard, u started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow."
the story continues
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard u got hit; it's about how hard u get hit and moving forward. It’s How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you got to be willing to take the hits, and not point fingers and blame other people. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!”
i relate the story to him and tell him that he can be the best thing in the world and in this life but unless he start believing in himself, his is not going to have a life.
Winning is never easy nor is success.
i thought i was tough too but there r times i couldn't handle the hits as well... sometimes life tends to kick u right at your face.. i too was unable to press the emotional thing down...
I have a small talk yesterday and was told that if u love someone, the love will always be there... if u love someone u would want the person u love to be happy even if it means u couldn't be with that person
i agree to the fact that when u love someone, the love will always going to be there... i also agree to the fact that if u love a person, u would want to see the person to be happy
but this is my take... if u knew u love that person so much... then do something... u do all u can to make sure u be with u then.....
evaluate why is she hesitating.. make changes and make sure u get her...
same applicable on jobs and everything else.... u want something so bad... u go out there and take it.. u don't wait..
losers wait....
i adhere very much to the american doctrine, living the american dream... win or lose very much depends on the person itself... rich or poor also very much depends on the person itself...
i acknowledge to the fact that my belief or philosophies r weird if not funny at times.... but this is my take... your belief shape who u r...
this is the irony part... people always complain about losers and coward but sometimes forget to see where himself/herself stand.... yes, there's no wrong on complaining but don't always just complain... talk about solution as well...
of course.. sometimes don't be too hard on ownself... thats what i was told... and i knew where she is coming from...
i knew i could do better.... having lunch/dinner/breakfast with her has been awesome... and yes... u keep me falling deeper and deeper as if its some bottomless pit...
i speak to another friend today and he told me how he got himself a new girl.. by the way.. he aleady have a gf... so it's basically 2 girl at the same time for him... i can never bring myself to understand this theory.. brand me weak or even call me weak but i always think... 1 heart 1 girl is more than enough...
searching for the one??
i always say this... the one lies on the fact u want to think if he/she is the one or not... it's down to yoruself... if u think he/she is the one then he/she will be the one... u keep thinking the one is out there waiting for u then u go and grab it... u don't wait...
"i love u and i will wait for u"
is by far the most stupid and idiotic words i have ever came across a guy saying... come on!! have u ever heard time and tide wait for no man?? by the way.. waiting does not give u love... waiting doesn't give u money as well.. u know what it'll gives u?? spiderweb... don't get all stupid and think u'll be some kind of spiderman... that ain't happening in real life...
said is easier than done... i had my downtime too
but i knew.... with highschool sweetheart in my arms... i have peace wherever i go and i knew... she is that living support that will not fade... of course as long as i'm doing my part
i don't settle for near perfect... i always say.. y go for 2 dollars when u can earn 5 dollars...
there is a difference between a successful individual and a loser... which category u fit into??
don't get all funny and answer me honda fit ya..
u'll see what u believe..... start believing before u start seeing success...
my two cents..

june 16
i had just recently completed a "millionaire mind" seminar...
i previously wanted to attend this seminar so much but i didn't buy the ticket because it's so darn expensive... i was lucky enough when i was granted the ticket to the seminar by a good mentor of mine...
I have high expectation of the seminar... maybe it was too high... the seminar was predicted or maybe i have heard a lot of similar seminar... i'm all too familiar with the content of their speech..
it is a little boring to me but i can't deny it's a very very good training ground for people who want to get rich... many says.. money is not everything... honestly, i agree to just a certain degree.. money means something.. without money u can really go fly kite... alone~
they teaches many mangement, investment and also mind over matter.. i agree on a point that they say.. there's no right or wrong.. right or wrong is simply on how we look at it, how successful we are also determine on how we think about ourself.. if we keep saying we r not good enough... question arises on how good u can be...
a 100 foot tree can only go less than 10 foot if it has the mind of a human... sometimes our mind is what holding us back.. we hold ourself back and we r our greatest enemy..
it's June 15.. a very special day for me.. :)
very very special day....
Sometimes u're going to meet a few jerks before u meet the right person that will shower u with care and love.. u're one sweet sweetheart.... ShhHhh.. yes, u're the only sweetheart
let's risk being insane....
sometimes it's hard to believe when u r holding the hand of someone special.. let's not mention that special kiss..
it brings smile everytime i think of it...

u just knew it
sometimes words don't need to be much,
stories need not to be thick,
songs need not to be long,
but u just knew what and who is important,
it's really simple
we were both young when i first saw u...
u bring summer during winter
i remember the first word u said to me, do u?
little did i knew... that u were that juliet..
as the song says...
u'll be the princess and i'll be the prince
u mean everything when i say don't go, i really mean it...
faith never fades
nobody is tired of waiting
determination did not slow down
i remember the very happy moments we had
the good and the bad
i knew this life, this heart.. there's going to be only one...
i remember your sweet smile
if it's an innocent love then let it be...
i'll be that shoulder u yearn for
its not that hard but let's make this special...
there's no boundaries in love
u r the reason, i gave up my world for
even when the sea roar
even if it means my spirit got tore
body aching and sore
i'll sum up my energy and my all
hold your hands... together we soar
with u around, i know.. there's always more
u r the priority and my core
so let me be with u, once and for all...
sometimes,
u just knew it... when u meet the one
or being with the one
u just knew it...

lessons from alpha male
Legendary alpha males offer plenty of lessons for the rest of us, ones we can reasonably apply to our professional lives without needing to conquer countries in the process. Here are but a few of the lessons we can learn from some recent yet legendary alpha males.
1)Gordon Ramsay
Native Scot Gordon Ramsay is one of the world’s most celebrated chefs. His restaurants have been awarded three stars by the culinary industry’s most influential ratings guide, Michelin, 10 times. Yet his success has nothing to do with wanting to be liked; he has no interest in winning a popularity contest. Watch him on Hell’s Kitchen and you’ll see why: He’s a monster of a taskmaster, indifferent to feelings and focused strictly on results. His attitude is that you do not have to like him, but as a chef, you must respect him. To that end, Ramsay’s restaurant staff is remarkably loyal. The chef himself claims to have an 85% retention rate since 1993. These are people that can go if they like. Why don’t they?
Lesson: In team-building, do not tolerate mediocrity
Simply put: Ramsay’s employees don’t leave because they know they’re working for the best. They know that whatever his defects, in the end, the man wants to be the best at what he does. Others who want the same thing realize that the abuse he shells out is insignificant compared to the greater achievements. Ramsay’s refusal to accept mediocrity on his team is an apt lesson to apply to your professional life. Doing so weeds out the weakest links, and it strengthens the team by erasing any doubts in anyone’s mind about any other member. In the end, it creates a tremendous amount of confidence.
2)Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali was a master of self-promotion and surely ranks as not only one of the greatest boxers of all time, but also the smartest trash-talker in sports history. Ali was supremely confident in himself, loaded with charisma and never feared a fight. He openly declared himself the greatest and often predicted the round in which he would knock out his opponent.In the early days of Ali’s career, opponents read his brag-and-boast routine as nervous bravado, but few knew how prepared he was, how hard he trained and just how much he wanted to win. By the time Ali got to the ring, he had every reason to believe he was invincible because he had pushed himself beyond his limits, beyond what he believed any other man could endure.
Lesson: Always come prepared
Whatever impression they might give off, alpha males never enter an important situation unprepared or deluded with the belief they’re already good enough to handle it. To them, this is a careless attitude for someone intent on winning at everything they do. We’ve all seen one rather minor example of the unprepared man; he gave the toast at the last wedding you attended. He thought he could glide through the toast because he knew his buddy so well and because he’s a competent public speaker. But not two sentences in, he’s fumbled and maybe said something dumb or inappropriate. By preparing for all their challenges with intensity, alpha males leave nothing to chance.
3)Wilt Chamberlain
There’s no question that Wilt the Stilt’s accomplishments are directly related to his incredible size. Yet for much of his life he was regarded as a freak of nature. As a high school freshman, he was already 6’11” and entered the NBA at 7'1" and 250 pounds, an absolute behemoth. Unpopular wherever he went, teams began to triple-team him and commit so many egregious fouls against him that he worried he would endure one too many and kick someone’s ass.For many years, Wilt Chamberlain carried his team on his back, setting scoring records that have yet to be topped. He failed, however, to win a championship until he changed the focus of his game and began to use his skills not to pad his own stats but to get the most out of his teammates. The result was swift: His first NBA championship.
Lesson: Embrace your superior skills and use them to elevate those around you
No man is an island, and even the most confident alpha males learn this eventually. Napoleon’s appointed marshals were brilliant military men. More often than not, George Steinbrenner has been wise enough to rely on his executives. The point is that your skills and talents have a greater chance of serving your goals if they aren’t focused directly on your achievements. Redirecting those talents to elevate those around you will almost always better serve your aims.
4)Hugh Hefner
Hugh Hefner has always been a staunch libertarian and has consistently opposed laws or restrictions on sexuality. These views may or may not have been ahead of their time, but his confidence and arrogance in expressing them in public certainly was. A high school essay of his attacked America’s puritanism, and a grad school term paper praised the recently released Kinsey Report "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male.”
Lesson: Personal convictions don’t mean personal restrictions
Living life according to your own beliefs and convictions is one thing, but putting that to your advantage and using it as a guide to your success, quite another. Personal beliefs are sometimes regarded as restrictive. Hefner’s decision to launch a magazine promoting his beliefs exhibited a capacity for putting them to work and obtaining results, as opposed to passively sitting behind them.
5)Douglas MacArthur
MacArthur had a long association with the Philippines, including three separate tours of duty prior to World War II. In 1941, he was made Allied commander in the Philippines and when the Japanese invaded the islands, he managed to hold them off for only so long, retreating onto the Bataan Peninsula before Roosevelt insisted he flee to Australia. The army surrendered to the Japanese shortly thereafter, suffering horribly as POWs. From Australia, MacArthur vowed, “I came out of Bataan and I shall return.”He never lost sight of this promise, triumphantly fulfilling it three years later. Not only did he reclaim the entire Commonwealth, he would enjoy the ultimate revenge in 1945, when he personally accepted Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri.
Lesson: When you give your word, always deliver on itThere are few more unappealing traits than being all talk and no action. People come to regard people with this habit as unreliable and impotent, and begin to look past them when they need a go-to guy. While you should never promise to deliver the impossible, you should also never fail to deliver on your promises.
6)John Wayne
The Duke was such an American icon that when Japanese Emperor Hirohito visited the U.S. in the 1970s, he asked to meet him. Despite never technically serving in the military, countless men enlisted for service having been inspired by his rugged tough-guy image. It was a persona Wayne was interested in maintaining as he got older, insisting that his characters never do anything ignoble, such as shoot a man in the back.The result was a man with a powerful presence, and part of this presence arose from something simple, something many of us take for granted: posture. He never slouched or hung his chin, his back was straight, his shoulders cocked and wide. It wasn’t something he overdid, just something he did. The wider result was an imposing presence that commanded respect.
Lesson: Don’t underestimate the power of presence
Not everyone can be an iconic 6’4” movie star known for his ass-kicking prowess, but you can learn from the manner in which Wayne carried himself. Through body language and demeanor alone, Wayne was always the baddest man in the room. People read body language both consciously and subconsciously, and few unspoken things can make people lose confidence in you quicker than seeing you slouch at a meeting or give a presentation with hunched shoulders. Such displays of indifference breeds more indifference, while the perception of strength breeds respect and power.
As I mentioned in the entry for Gordon Ramsay, alpha males aren’t concerned with being liked. This is true in part because they already get enough love from themselves. But they aren’t the only ones who love them; while conducting research for this article, I came across numerous blogs that featured women tangled in a heated discussion concerning the alpha male. Allow me to paraphrase the overarching female opinion on such men:
“Alpha Males are jerks. I can’t stand how attracted I am to them.”
1)Gordon Ramsay
Native Scot Gordon Ramsay is one of the world’s most celebrated chefs. His restaurants have been awarded three stars by the culinary industry’s most influential ratings guide, Michelin, 10 times. Yet his success has nothing to do with wanting to be liked; he has no interest in winning a popularity contest. Watch him on Hell’s Kitchen and you’ll see why: He’s a monster of a taskmaster, indifferent to feelings and focused strictly on results. His attitude is that you do not have to like him, but as a chef, you must respect him. To that end, Ramsay’s restaurant staff is remarkably loyal. The chef himself claims to have an 85% retention rate since 1993. These are people that can go if they like. Why don’t they?
Lesson: In team-building, do not tolerate mediocrity
Simply put: Ramsay’s employees don’t leave because they know they’re working for the best. They know that whatever his defects, in the end, the man wants to be the best at what he does. Others who want the same thing realize that the abuse he shells out is insignificant compared to the greater achievements. Ramsay’s refusal to accept mediocrity on his team is an apt lesson to apply to your professional life. Doing so weeds out the weakest links, and it strengthens the team by erasing any doubts in anyone’s mind about any other member. In the end, it creates a tremendous amount of confidence.
2)Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali was a master of self-promotion and surely ranks as not only one of the greatest boxers of all time, but also the smartest trash-talker in sports history. Ali was supremely confident in himself, loaded with charisma and never feared a fight. He openly declared himself the greatest and often predicted the round in which he would knock out his opponent.In the early days of Ali’s career, opponents read his brag-and-boast routine as nervous bravado, but few knew how prepared he was, how hard he trained and just how much he wanted to win. By the time Ali got to the ring, he had every reason to believe he was invincible because he had pushed himself beyond his limits, beyond what he believed any other man could endure.
Lesson: Always come prepared
Whatever impression they might give off, alpha males never enter an important situation unprepared or deluded with the belief they’re already good enough to handle it. To them, this is a careless attitude for someone intent on winning at everything they do. We’ve all seen one rather minor example of the unprepared man; he gave the toast at the last wedding you attended. He thought he could glide through the toast because he knew his buddy so well and because he’s a competent public speaker. But not two sentences in, he’s fumbled and maybe said something dumb or inappropriate. By preparing for all their challenges with intensity, alpha males leave nothing to chance.
3)Wilt Chamberlain
There’s no question that Wilt the Stilt’s accomplishments are directly related to his incredible size. Yet for much of his life he was regarded as a freak of nature. As a high school freshman, he was already 6’11” and entered the NBA at 7'1" and 250 pounds, an absolute behemoth. Unpopular wherever he went, teams began to triple-team him and commit so many egregious fouls against him that he worried he would endure one too many and kick someone’s ass.For many years, Wilt Chamberlain carried his team on his back, setting scoring records that have yet to be topped. He failed, however, to win a championship until he changed the focus of his game and began to use his skills not to pad his own stats but to get the most out of his teammates. The result was swift: His first NBA championship.
Lesson: Embrace your superior skills and use them to elevate those around you
No man is an island, and even the most confident alpha males learn this eventually. Napoleon’s appointed marshals were brilliant military men. More often than not, George Steinbrenner has been wise enough to rely on his executives. The point is that your skills and talents have a greater chance of serving your goals if they aren’t focused directly on your achievements. Redirecting those talents to elevate those around you will almost always better serve your aims.
4)Hugh Hefner
Hugh Hefner has always been a staunch libertarian and has consistently opposed laws or restrictions on sexuality. These views may or may not have been ahead of their time, but his confidence and arrogance in expressing them in public certainly was. A high school essay of his attacked America’s puritanism, and a grad school term paper praised the recently released Kinsey Report "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male.”
Lesson: Personal convictions don’t mean personal restrictions
Living life according to your own beliefs and convictions is one thing, but putting that to your advantage and using it as a guide to your success, quite another. Personal beliefs are sometimes regarded as restrictive. Hefner’s decision to launch a magazine promoting his beliefs exhibited a capacity for putting them to work and obtaining results, as opposed to passively sitting behind them.
5)Douglas MacArthur
MacArthur had a long association with the Philippines, including three separate tours of duty prior to World War II. In 1941, he was made Allied commander in the Philippines and when the Japanese invaded the islands, he managed to hold them off for only so long, retreating onto the Bataan Peninsula before Roosevelt insisted he flee to Australia. The army surrendered to the Japanese shortly thereafter, suffering horribly as POWs. From Australia, MacArthur vowed, “I came out of Bataan and I shall return.”He never lost sight of this promise, triumphantly fulfilling it three years later. Not only did he reclaim the entire Commonwealth, he would enjoy the ultimate revenge in 1945, when he personally accepted Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri.
Lesson: When you give your word, always deliver on itThere are few more unappealing traits than being all talk and no action. People come to regard people with this habit as unreliable and impotent, and begin to look past them when they need a go-to guy. While you should never promise to deliver the impossible, you should also never fail to deliver on your promises.

cheating
1)Cheating devalues everything
Cheating doesn’t actually enhance anything. The common myth is that danger is titillating and can ramp up the passion of taboo encounters, but there’s a problem with this belief: “danger” is fleeting and such a sensation can rapidly shift, as tension and foreboding can follow hot on the heels of heightened passion. Furthermore, as the very concept of cheating is rooted in something outside the physical union in question, such couplings are devoid of any real feeling or emotion. Those who have cheated will always try to say -- often in their own vain defense -- that it was “mechanical,” that they were just “going through the motions.” Well, of course: Cheating is about somebody else. There’s no real challenge or satisfaction in it and, lest we forget, the Player is in this for ultimate satisfaction.
2)Cheating is for the weak and lazy
Honestly, it doesn’t take that much in the way of mental fortitude to resist temptation. Those who claim it was “irresistible” are desperately attempting to mask their weakness and it’s downright pathetic. Those who cheat do so for a variety of reasons, certainly, but none of them can be considered appealing character traits. They cheat because they can’t face an ugly breakup battle with their current partner (which is absurd, as cheating will inevitably lead to an even uglier battle), they cheat because they’re too lazy to go through with the severing, they cheat because they’re easily lured by the siren’s call. The Player is familiar with the urges and doesn’t allow them to affect his behavior. We’ve already talked about how other people perceive cheaters; well, the ladies’ man is aware how cheating can affect his own self-image and self-esteem.
3)Cheating is a reputation-killer
These days, a man’s reputation may not mean as much as it did in days long past, but for someone who is often at the mercy of word-of-mouth, it’s essential. And because it can change in a split second, it requires constant upkeep and maintenance. Cheating is the single fastest way to tear down an entire body of work; one moment of weakness can erase years of faithfulness produced by the most stalwart Player professional. There are plenty of other ways a man can damage his reputation in the eyes of the ladies, but nothing is more devastating than cheating. Even if it’s only a rumor, this spark can set off a wildfire that rages high and far. It’s almost impossible to extinguish, and although it may die out eventually, the destruction is significant and recovery can take a very long time. A reputation is a terrible thing to waste on something so… unfulfilling.
4)A true Player doesn’t have to cheat
In truth, the real Player never has to cheat. If he’s unhappy with his current woman, he has the resolve to simply break it off and pursue another target. He does this honestly, carefully and tactfully. On top of which, we’ve already solidified the fact that nailing a chick who wishes to cheat takes no real skill, and a Player aspires to bigger and better things. Throughout the course of a Player’s excursions, he will frequently consider and dismiss opportunities that aren’t actually “opportunities” at all; they’re partially obscured traps that can lead to some nasty accidents. The learned pickup artist quickly recognizes such traps, steps deftly around them and pushes forward to achieve more satisfying sexual experiences via real effort. In short, he knows exactly what he wants, and he knows cheating won’t deliver his true desires.

no boundaries
Those CEO got rich without degree, but that doesn't mean u should follow their footstep in not studying... if u evaluate carefully.. u can see that these people are smart people with strong determination.. high self-esteem in believing that they can achieve what they want to achieve.
Seconds, hours, so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment last forever
If you feel you've lost your way
What if your chances are already gone
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
To fight and never walk away
Cause here I am still holding on
Every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Whether the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
So you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand
And show you that you can
There are no boundaries
I fought to the end to stand on the edge
What if today is as good it gets
Don't know where the future's headed
Nothing's gonna bring me down
I've jumped every bridge and I've run every line
I've risked being saved but I always knew why
So here I am still holding on
You can go higher, you can go deeper
There are no boundaries above and beneath you
Break every rule cause there's nothing between you and your dreams
yes, there's no boundaries... the world is us for the taking.. to stand up strong... remember.. if it is to be it's up to me.. there's always haters who will tell u that u can't do something.. i say let them hate... thats what losers know either way...
let them bow at the sight of greatness and honour the presence of sucess... be it in whatever we're doing.. goal should be clear... losing is only part of the battle.. the war is not over yet...
words shouldn't be a tool to pull a person' determination down, haters will always stir emotion up but those r all external factor... it's all in your head... life is never fair and is always tough on us.. even if it throw those curveball on us like ape shit... thats life.. so brave the storm... one day u will bitch slap it back when u r on top...

how to open your mind part 3
1)Play strategy games like Bridge, Checkers, Chess, Shogi and Go! It's the poetry of the mind!
2)Travel - becoming an outsider really exposes a mind to new things. You can even do this travel inside your country or state! How well do you know your own city? Have you tried using only a bike, or only using your own two feet and public transportation? (Ever considered what it's like if that was the only means to get around, say if you were physically unable to drive around? Being a pedestrian once in a while will make you a better driver.) Go off the beaten path!
3)Learn to read and write any language that you don't know. Here are a few ideas: Portuguese, Spanish, German, Arabic, Aramaic, Mandarin, Maltese, Cantonese, Russian, Latin, Welsh and Dutch.
4)Learn to count in a different numeral base than the one you're used to (chances are you're using decimal), use binary (base 2), octal (base 8), duodecimal (base 12),hexadecimal (base 16), vigesimal (base 20 used in mayan numerals) or another numeral system when you start getting familiar with basic operations, try converting from one system to another. Next step is mixing different systems in a single operation. For added fun do the next advice and throw some of that in this (one day you might be able to multiply rot13 encoded hexadecimal by xor'ed vigesimal.
5)Learn classical cipher schemes and algorithms
6)Give some thought to the mysteries of the world. Which came first: the chicken or the egg? Or think about places like the Bermuda Triangle: why do so many people disappear? Check out books and sites on these strange topics.
7)Search for something on Wikipedia, read the page then click on one of the links on the page you find interesting, read that page and carry on and on, eventually you'll have come across loads of new information and it gets you interested in loads of subjects.
8)Also, you can go for a walk and mutter to yourself to stimulate the mind.
9)Learn to play some musical instrument. Piano is very popular. Or try to learn playing african drum Djembe. You do not need to have the best instrument to start learning. If you have friend that can play some instrument - he/she will surly help you to start. Then you can join some class. Enjoy the playing!

how to open your mind part 2
1)Build ridiculous things like radios, legos, robots, trebuchets
2)Walk backwards through your whole house. (But be extra careful not to trip over anything, or fall down the stairs)
3)Try foods you have never tried. Have you tried sushi? Have you tried Vietnamese? Mediterranean? Indian? Native-American? Cajun? Have you ever tasted a Boba? A shot of Wheatgrass? Have you smoked a hookah? Have you eaten durian or the Filipino delicacy, balut? Think it's unhealthy? Do you know it's unhealthy? Look it up.
4)Push the limits of your body. By using your body in new ways, you can learn more about yourself, and expand your mind. Learn to do a handstand. A backflip. A kip-up. Take martial arts classes. Try some Hip-Hop classes or learn a break dance move. Can you touch your toes? Work on it. Try skiing, snowboarding, jet skiing, Hang gliding, parasailing, surfing, and anything else that pushes the limits of your comfort zone!
5)Attend churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, trade union meetings, places of worship and meditation that you never have. Read about and learn how to recognize cults or cult-like behavior and avoid them!
6)Learn How to Spin a Pencil Around Your Thumb, solve a Rubik's Cube, or try Cup Stacking. Don't know what these are? Look them up. Learn!
7)Face your fears! Are you computer-illiterate? Putz around on a computer for a while. Don't be scared. You won't break anything. Learn a programming language. Nothing is as hard as anyone makes it out to be. Build your own computer. Think it's hard? You'll never know until you actually do it. It's somewhat ridiculous how many HowTo's there are on building a computer.
8)Learn to juggle. A great workout for your brain, eyes and reflexes. Are three balls too easy? Try four, or better yet, five. If you get extremely good, try 10! 20! 50! Think it's impossible? Keep an open mind. Just Try Try Try! Contact Juggling for a different challenge.
9)Open your mind to other political or religious points of view. You may find it hard to stomach at first, but in time you might find a grain of truth in what your nemesis has to say. Even if you don't, you'll be able to argue with one of "them" much more intelligently. Here's a hard but effective method: take a controversial issue that you have a strong opinion about. Write an essay defending your opinion with as much evidence and actual citations as possible. Then write another essay defending the other side, again with evidence and citations, considering that side's arguments seriously and being scrupulously honest and putting in as much effort as you did the first essay.
10)Try blocking out one of your senses. Do everyday things, like cleaning up your room or using your cell phone, with a blindfold. It puts things in perspective when you are forced to "create" new ways of doing things you've already figured how to do. You could also try using a different part of your body to do things, like write with your teeth or type with your toes.

how to open your mind part 1
1)Stimulate your ears differently. Try different music you haven't tried before: Classical, New Age, Zouk, Rap, Mariachi, Country, Afro-Blues. You don't have to like it at first, but if you keep an open mind, you can still find it interesting. Listen to a radio station you typically don't listen to.
2)Stimulate your eyes in new ways. Go to a cheap or free art gallery. Even if you think it's bad art, it can still be stimulating and thought provoking.
3)Learn about different people and lifestyles. A great gateway into this is Wikipedia, where you can read articles on a wide variety of practices, such as Swinging, Wicca, Christianity, the Green Party, Conservatism, Communism, Anarchism, Sunnis, Discordianism, Tutsis, and the Yakuza. Consider how many members they have worldwide. Volunteer with an organization that works with a community of people you are unfamiliar with.
4)While waiting (in line at the bank, a coffee shop, a restaurant, the grocery store, or waiting for someone to pick you up, or a show on TV to start), ponder things, calculate, memorize. You can, for example, memorize digits of Pi (you can get to 50 in a matter of hours, 200 in a matter of weeks), try to remember all of your high school teachers' names, memorize Prime Numbers, get fast at reciting the alphabet backwards, the Greek alphabet (forwards and backwards), remember how many movies Tom Cruise has been in, try Doubling numbers, start at 1, to 2, to 4, to 8, till you get to larger numbers than you can handle
5)Join clubs based on things you have no knowledge of, such as a Scrabble Club, an Investment Club, etc
6)Watch movies in genres that you normally don't partake in, such as Cyberpunk, scary, Anime, documentaries, stand up comedy (Eddie Izzard,etc. Mitch Hedberg). IMDb is a great site to look for movies that other people enjoy. They break them down by genre as well. Remember to be open-minded about things you don't know about
7)Take unusual classes. Find a community college or community-based educational program near you, pick up a catalog, and open your mind to learning things like Art History, Underwater Basketweaving, First Aid training, or Business Ethics. Your local university likely offers easy survey courses with no prerequisites, such as Meteorology, Nutrition, Japanese Pop Culture, etc. How awesome would it be to know basic Meteorology? You could even find unexpected topics such as Vampires and Werewolves. Learn different languages (Esperanto, Japanese, French, Arabic, Italian, Navajo, etc.) especially those with roots very different from your own.
8)Learn how to write backwards. Leonardo DaVinci, the quintessential Renaissance man and a jack-of-all-trades, wrote all of his notes backwards so that they could only be read with a mirror. Or try writing upside down. None of these is as hard as it might seem; you'll soon get the hang of it.
9)Read back-wards or upside down as well!
10)Watch shows that you don't watch or that you often discriminate against, even though you have never watched them. Do you hate the O.C.? Even if you still dislike it or find it comical, try it once or twice. Try a soap opera: It's fun! Try new genres, like science fiction or fantasy. Watch the Spanish channels; watch the religious channels; watch the Discovery channel; watch the Travel channel; or if you do watch all those channels, try not watching television at all for a week ... Thus, you will have the time to try everything else posted in this page!

Want to smile
To disguise the tears that are falling
Nod head
Admit to myself that I will be scared of the dark
I only seek
That you can lend some time to be with me
But you don't even give sympathy
Want to cry
To find out whether I am numb yet
The whole world
Seems like I am the only one who is tired
Doesn't matter
Anyway I'm feeling sad so I'll muddle through and go for a time
If only despair and feeling useless would go far away
The sky is very grey
The darker the night
Dream disobeys
It is hard to chase and hard to enjoy in retrospect
My world is going to be destroyed
Maybe things do not happen as I wish
Tired or not?
Sleep or not?
A single shadow with no one to snuggle with
Who is willing to comfort?
My world is going to be destroyed
Maybe being dispirited is another kind of beauty

fly off
Want to have a rocket
to fly to the universe with you
Want to melt together with you
into the Milky Way
I think about u everyday
This kind of sweetness
Lets me start to believe in fate
Grateful for the terrestrial gravity for
Letting me meet you
u r so beautiful that makes me blush
u r so gentle that makes me heartache
u r so sweet that makes me feel moved
u r so bad that makes me go crazy
The world is so big and I'm so small
But I will use all my strength to protect you
to fly to the universe with you
Want to melt together with you
into the Milky Way
I think about u everyday
This kind of sweetness
Lets me start to believe in fate
Grateful for the terrestrial gravity for
Letting me meet you
u r so beautiful that makes me blush
u r so gentle that makes me heartache
u r so sweet that makes me feel moved
u r so bad that makes me go crazy
The world is so big and I'm so small
But I will use all my strength to protect you
if there is no feeling
Bearing an unknown crime
Crossing right and wrong
Yesterday who wronged whom?
Tomorrow who languished for whom?
Trying hard
Love Isn't necessarily true and concise
Yet meeting again is hard to realise
If there is no feeling
Why bother hiding under the sunglasses?
This fatal attachment I have
Still isn't willing to withdraw
Persist with a bit of feeling
Unexpectedly it's so heartless
If there is no feeling
Where did the tears from the corner of my eye come from?
Even comforting seems so sad
The feeling that I'm not willing to pack up
Bruises me again and again
How painful, who can know
Love If I'm not willing to finish it
It'll also want me to pay with everything
The mercy that you thought was
Can I endure past it or not, I'm not willing to
There is a kind of beauty
Actually it's full of danger
The mistake is that I loved too strongly
It became a knot that cannot be untied
I'm too loyal to my intuition, right?
Actually love cannot let me do whatever I please

forever love
Love it has so many beautiful faces
Sharing lives and sharing days
My love it has so many empty spaces
I'm sharing a memory now I hope that's how it stays
Now I'm deep inside love and still breathing
She is holding my heart in her hand
I'm the closest I've been to believing
this could be love forever
All throughout my life the reasons I've demanded
But how can I reason with the reason I'm a man
In a minute I'm needing to hold her
In an hour I'm cold, cold as stone
When she leaves it gets harder and
harder to face life alone
Now my dreams are filled with times when we're together
Guess what I need from her is forever love
Now I feel forever love
Oh, I feel
Sharing lives and sharing days
My love it has so many empty spaces
I'm sharing a memory now I hope that's how it stays
Now I'm deep inside love and still breathing
She is holding my heart in her hand
I'm the closest I've been to believing
this could be love forever
All throughout my life the reasons I've demanded
But how can I reason with the reason I'm a man
In a minute I'm needing to hold her
In an hour I'm cold, cold as stone
When she leaves it gets harder and
harder to face life alone
Now my dreams are filled with times when we're together
Guess what I need from her is forever love
Now I feel forever love
Oh, I feel
incomplete melody
There's a difference between winner and loser... those dudes that talk cock.. welcome to the loser's league.... my response... go fly kite
my other take.....
On the ground
With my world upside down
I got a vision of your face
And i must get me out
For so many memories we’ve yet to make
God don’t send to me your angels
I just wanna hear you say again
Forever love
Say your love
Tell me so
I can hold u in my soul
If i go, i will know
When u smile
With those eyes
Baby, it’s like
U place a finger on my heart
And your lips next to mine
Make me think that maybe heavens where u r
u are the missing chord in for the incomplete melody
my other take.....

唯一
我的天空多麼的清新
透明的承諾是過去的空氣
牽著我的手是你
但你的笑容 卻看不清
是否一顆星星變了心
從前的願望 也全都被拋棄
最近我無法呼吸
連自己的影子 都想逃避
BABY 你就是我的唯一
兩個世界都變形 回去談何容易
確定 你就是我的唯一
獨自對著電話說我愛你 我真的愛你
BABY 我已不能多愛你一些
其實早已超過了愛的界線
透明的承諾是過去的空氣
牽著我的手是你
但你的笑容 卻看不清
是否一顆星星變了心
從前的願望 也全都被拋棄
最近我無法呼吸
連自己的影子 都想逃避
BABY 你就是我的唯一
兩個世界都變形 回去談何容易
確定 你就是我的唯一
獨自對著電話說我愛你 我真的愛你
BABY 我已不能多愛你一些
其實早已超過了愛的界線
shHhh v1
How many people around
And we don’t even see
And we can’t help look at each other
The strong feeling
Worth one smile
Have already hinted to the max
If you don’t have courage at this split time
Your luck will just pass you by
I'm so normal
But you shine like the stars
Make me worry
Clearly I love you very much
Clearly I want to come closer
But there is always obstacle
I dare to say out loud that I’ll be your only one
Why waste time and not hold you tighter
I will try my hardest to fulfill your wishes
Talk about if we are suited to each other is too old fashioned
If we talk about love or not, we not need to ask
The decision of love lies in our own hands
And we don’t even see
And we can’t help look at each other
The strong feeling
Worth one smile
Have already hinted to the max
If you don’t have courage at this split time
Your luck will just pass you by
I'm so normal
But you shine like the stars
Make me worry
Clearly I love you very much
Clearly I want to come closer
But there is always obstacle
I dare to say out loud that I’ll be your only one
Why waste time and not hold you tighter
I will try my hardest to fulfill your wishes
Talk about if we are suited to each other is too old fashioned
If we talk about love or not, we not need to ask
The decision of love lies in our own hands

america gangster
The film American Gangster is a real story of a cult figure, Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) from the streets of 1970s Harlem.Nobody noticed Frank Lucas, the quiet driver to one of the inner city's leading black gangster, Bumpy Johnson.
But when his boss suddenly dies, Frank exploits the opening in the power structure to build his own empire and create his own version of the American Dream.Through cunning and strict business ethics, he becomes a leader in the city drug trade by flooding the streets with a better product at a better price. He does this by cutting out the middlemen - dealing directly with opium growers in the Golden Triangle in southeast Asia.
Lucas' gang eventually starts to control the drug trade above the better known Mafia families, and becomes a black power player who has come from nowhere to dominate the scene.As he amasses a fortune in the process, the authorities - both crooked and straight are out to get him, as are rival drug dealers, once they figure out who he is.Important lessons we can learn from this film:
Keep A Low Profile
When Frank takes over from his boss Bumpy, nobody knows who Frank was, which is fine for Frank because he’s more interested in making huge amounts of money than in making a name for himself. Foolish pride never factors into Frank’s way of doing business, so he flies under the radar of the authorities for years. When the authorities discovers that a new player has taken over the entire New York heroin trade, they never suspect it is Frank and think it must be the traditional Mafia families.
They think there’s no way anyone other than the Mafia who could pull off such a feat. By the time they realise that it is Lucas who’s responsible - a black man from Harlem, of all people - it is too late; Frank has already created an empire.
“The loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room,” Frank informs his younger brother Huey, who shows up to his party dressed like a pimp. When Frank goes out, he goes to his own club and surrounds himself with his own people. No gold medallions, no bling-blings - Period !. Do not in any case attract unwanted attention.
Sell Better, Cheaper Products
Frank cuts out the middlemen and deals directly with opium growers in southeast Asia.Brand Your ProductFrank believes in the importance of creating a recognised product or a “brand.” Frank warns rival gangster Nicky Barnes, whom he supplies his drugs to, not to tamper with his product by diluting it. Frank is proud of the quality of his drugs which he refers to as the “Pepsi of smack” or “blue magic.”
Share Your Wealth
For anyone in this line of work, you need the support of the people on the street - your customers and future customers. Each year, Frank is seen handing out turkeys on Thanksgiving. He employs hundreds in his drug refineries and makes sure to always give the impression that, despite peddling drugs on a massive scale, he is actually good for the community.
interesting moral of the story type of movie..

end of firefly
News reports say that there would be no longer any fireflies in Kuala Selangor in a few months because of land clearing which has ruined its habitat.The fireflies, locally called kelip kelip, have been under constant treat from the construction of the Sungai Selangor Dam to waste pollution and now, the complete destruction of its breeding habitat.
The entire firefly population in Kampung Kuantan and Kampung Bukit Belimbing in Kuala Selangor has already seen significant reduction in recent years.A boatman who grew up in the area observed that there has been a huge decline in the beetle population in the past 2 years.
He recalls when almost all the trees would be lit with fireflies - just like the lights on Christmas trees. But now, he says, one can hardly see a tree with as many fireflies. The tourists visiting Kuala Selangor helps him earn RM500 a month for a 3 hour job every night ferrying them to watch the flashing beetles.
There are 31 boatmen at Kuala Selangor firefly sanctuary earning a living in one of the Selangor’s unique tourist attractions.Once this tourist attraction is gone, so will the spin-offs from firefly watching tours. This include seafood restaurants and homestay programmes that commercially support the local community.
what can we do or.. what could we do about it..

astrology
I know, I know what you guys are thinking ...don't make any judgments yet. Let me explain myself. I admit, I'm not an expert in this fortune telling thing, so I'm in no position to make judgments about it, but there are questions that need answering...
According to wikipedia, Astrology is a group of systems, traditions, and beliefs in which knowledge of the relative positions of celestial bodies and related details is used in understanding, interpreting, and organizing information about personality, human affairs, and other terrestrial matters. A practitioner of astrology is called an astrologer.
Numerous traditions and applications employing astrological concepts have arisen since its earliest recorded beginnings in the 2nd millennium BC. It has played a role in the shaping of culture, early astronomy, and other disciplines throughout history.
Wikipedia also states that the history of astrology was first found in a developed form among the ancient Babylonians and directly or indirectly through the Babylonians, it spread to other nations.
Ok, from the above, we know 2 things:
1. Astrology is about studying of "celestial bodies" - study of stars, planets, etc in relation to personality, human affairs etc.
2. The study of astrology has its beginnings in the 2nd millennium BC - the period from the Middle to the Late Bronze Age. Thats a damn long time ago.
BUT
The following is what history tells us:In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus published a new theory stating the earth revolves around the sun. Copernicus died before he could prove his theory.Galileo made a telescope in 1608 based on sketchy descriptions of the telescope, invented in the Netherlands in the same year. With his telescope, Galileo made observations of "celestial bodies" and confirmed Nicolaus Copernicus theory that the earth revolves around the sun. Before Galileo, people believed the earth was the center of the universe and the sun revolved around the earth. So the whole concept of astrology cannot be sustained because:
1. As astrology has its beginnings in the 2nd millennium BC, it is based on the belief that the sun goes round the earth - now we know this is bullshit.
2. How did the people before Galileo study the "celestial bodies" ? - they did not have telescopes. The first telescope was only made and used in 1608.
3. In astrology, a horoscope is a chart or diagram representing the positions of the Sun, Moon and the 9 planets etc in relations to a person's birth. But before the year 1781 people only knew the existence of the sun, the moon and 6 planets:
Earth
Mercury
Venus
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
The other 3 planets were discovered later:
Uranus 1781
Neptune 1846
Pluto 1930
How did the astrologers make their calculations ? on what basis ? They must have very sharp eyes to see the planets and stars without a telescope. :)

mad world
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
