it takes so long for it to arrive

the anticipations, the waitings, the journeys

to bring it here

the journey to this day, is relatively good,

but it’s because of this special day,

for one and only one day in a year,

preparations made only for this

only for this one day

CHRISTMAS

but it comes and goes,

in juz a blink!

it is only one day in a year!!

yet we anticipate it for 364/5 days juz for this day!

after this day

the next day

everything backs to normal

perhaps another anticipation for the next one

i really wish it could be christmas everyday!!!!!!

KUALA LUMPUR: Wrapped in a red chequered blanket, Esther Tan Zi Yee moves slowly in response to her mother’s touch as she is very weak.

Just over a month old, Zi Yee is suffering from multiple heart complications that makes her lose her appetite.

Her complexion is pale and her fingernails blue, telltale signs of a lack of oxygen circulating through the arteries.

Zi Yee needs to undergo three stages of surgery to correct her condition. The first will cost RM45,000.

Her father, Tan Kok Siong 26, earns RM1,800 a month as a programmer and is the sole breadwinner.

Those who wish to help can send their cheques to: The Cashier, Finance Department/Charity Unit, The New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd, Balai Berita, 31 Jalan Riong, 59100 Kuala Lumpur.

blogs? missing in action??

BLogging is a fun thing, i used to blog almost everyday but no longer now, i find most things are basically quite personal, n not wanting to share so much about them…

and as in previous posts, at times, i really do feel, that it’s always better to be silent on the current affairs (my current affairs) be it happy or sad ones, especially those unhappy ones, which i wannat get rid of them, so in a way, if i stop mentioning about them, somehow, and somewhat it will fade as time goes by.. don’t u think so??

well, perhaps, my buddies, would find me lost in action lately.. or speaks lesser… hmm, true, perhaps, u can say, i’m running away from the so-called "affairs" or perhaps, i am avoiding people, as i’m already very much loaded… LOL, perhaps most of it done intentionally at the beginning, but as time goes by, it becomes a trend to my, that i actually rather to be seen as missing in action…(unintentionally)

as my dad always says.. no conversation is better than lesser talks (some chinese translation)

the rationale being is that, the more u talk/say, the more trouble u might make!

basically, to me blogging, is only when i seriously, in need to expressing some views on a particular matter, at times, or most of the times, it can be pretty personal…. most of the times, i wouldn’t mind my closest frens know about it.. but not the whole world to noe it… but right now, i would prefer it to be unknown to anyone!

do u noe wat’s the definition of "secret" ?

well, if someone tells u a "secret", it actually becomes a non-secret the moment it has been communicated to another person.. agree?

so, to uphold this definition of "secret", secrets are meant to be kept within me, n only me will discover it, only me will have access to it..

complicated? sounds mysterious?? perhaps that’s me!

wedding

i cant deny the fact that i love attending weddings, yet at the same time, i hate to attend such gatherings… (i dont like wasting time dressing up, making up, thinking how to mix and match, which is all totally not my kinda thing!!)

i love looking at 2 happily in love person (assuming they are, cos they looked so) getting together, going thru another phase of life, starting a new life together… looking only at the bright sides of getting married… it’s really beautiful… especially, the bride, as many would say, will look the prettiest on this special day of their own.

it’s beautiful that out of millions of people, u finally found someone whom u can commit to.. someone whom u r willing to tie the knot with, someone whom u would wanna spend the rest of ur life with.. it’s really not an easy task!

well, though i like attending weddings, but this doesnt mean that i cant wait for my own wedding…

also, family members, frens, and relatives, only these kinda occassions, apart from the death (funeral) u would gather and meet up to catch up! or perhaps, it’s only during CNY, which, most ppl would change alot in time.. change physically, mentally… perhaps, emotionally… especially for a big family.. like mine, i cant imagine how "huge" the numbers of relatives i had… i even had nieces and nephews whom are older than me, n i juz attended my niece wedding (30 years old)… btw, she is not the only niece i had… perhaps, lots more… it’s so weird having older age people or even those same age calling me  "aunty.."

well, this kinda gathering will bring people together, at least meet up half a year or so… to catch up… n not to lose contact after some times, as i feel after my parents generation.. when it comes to my generation, all these will somehow end… perhaps, people out there won’t be surprise if some of us might get married to our own relatives whom we dunno that they are our relatives!

but then again, how many people today would be "free" for such a meet up and catch up? perhaps they have much better things to do…

Download at your own risk

KUALA LUMPUR: If you download material illegally from the Internet, be prepared to fork out a minimum fine of RM250,000. 

This is the warning from the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry to Malaysians who continue to illegally download songs, videos and the like. 

Although this penalty was legislated more than 10 years ago under the Copyright Act, it has yet to be fully enforced. 

This was because the Government was still focusing on “physical enforcement”, encompassing continuous efforts to weed out pirated DVDs, VCDs and CDs sold on the streets and their operators. 

Deputy Minister Datuk S. Veerasingam said yesterday that while this remains their main priority, cracking down on Internet download offenders was also gaining momentum. 

“For the past three years, we have seen a significant reduction in copyright pirates. This is due to the continuous efforts of our enforcement officers. 

“We will also very soon make Internet download offenders our priority,” he said. 

Veerasingam was speaking to reporters after opening the Wipo Asia-Pacific Regional Seminar on the Issues and Recent Developments of the Wipo Copyright Treaty and the Wipo Performances and Phonograms Treaty on behalf of the minister. 

More than 75 participants from 11 countries are taking part in the three-day seminar. 

Veerasingam said that the maximum fine for downloading material illegally from the Internet was a whopping RM500,000.
