TC Life Notes - Pee Stop...

Yeah... Today is a great day, because I'm getting my car back from workshop. Actually I've inspected the car in the afternoon yesterday, to check if there is anything to touch up. Out of my expectation, the workmanship is great, it looks brand new again. Of cause nothing is perfect, I see some parts are not really well done, and I think I can make fix it, so I just leave it, will touch up by myself. :)

I'll share some pictures of my car later on... :)

Wah lau eh.... Dangerous!

This is done by a street worker in China! Impressive!

There are some incidents happened to me since few weeks back until now, I am feeling up and down, emotionally and etc... But still under control... No temper at all, just stay cool, the brain is thinking "Why... why.... why.....". And something come into my mind, go google this --> Rabbit 2007 運程, unbelievable that I will look into this kind of thing. No matter what, just let me kaypoh a bit.

* Kaypoh = busy body...

农历三月份

本月遭遇凶星，运势貌似平稳，实则极具突变性。事业方面发展平平，缺乏助力，进展缓慢；工作上也较为平淡，乏善可陈。由于本月容易发生突变事故，宜 提高应变能力，或预做准备应对，以免突变降临却应对失策。财运较为一般，警惕可能会遭遇意外损财；横财运低迷，风险类投资实在不宜进行，如需进行相关投 资，要谨记适可而止，以免折及血本！要多注意健康问题，多休养，多锻炼，使欠佳的心情变得开朗些！宜出外旅游散心。 (Source)

Mm.... So? Read the words in red? Believe or not believe... Speechless....

Damn... This morning when I was ready to leave from my house to office, I was looking for my shoe and I found out, 3 pairs of my shoe were stolen!!! 1 pair of Alan Delon, 1 pair of sport shoe for badminton and another pair for casual. I am speechless...

I'm not doing good recently, bad luck for weeks.. Accidents, jobs and etc.. I hope I can get rid of them and be the real me. I calm down, stay cool, smile happily in front of my friends, I don't know how to describe, don't wish to see my friends are getting worries of me, and I just need more spiritual supports, hope the good luck be with me... Sigh.... Life.....

Yesterday I sent my car to a workshop at BU (Bandar Utama), together with my spare parts like head light, signal (corner) light, rear bumper and right fender. Why there? The workmanship is good, I believe... Because I did send my car for minor repair 7 years ago, it is done by an experienced and skillful old man, who is not delivering bad workmanship like the youngsters nowadays, he is careful and patient too. The lady boss still can recognize me, I explain to her about what I want to do with my car, and she takes note.

Today I start work late in the morning, because I have to stay up to 9pm in the office. Therefore I go to the workshop again, to check the progress of my car, it looks good and well fixed. The old man is disassembling the parts, while another man is checking on the body, to mark down the places that need to be touched up, later they will apply cement, sand the surface and get ready for spraying. I squat down and talk with them, they are friendly and we share some knowledges, not bad...

I am a mechanic too, not really a full time one but I do help at my father's workshop, my dad is running a motorcycle business. When I was 9 years old, standard 3 in the primary school, I learned a skill from my dad, I started with fixing punctured tyre tube, changing spark plug, cleaning up carbon and some other basic jobs.

After my classes in the school, back home for lunch, I changed my clothes, and then I squatted in front of the motorcycles, started with whatever I could for that machine. That's my daily routine... It's part of my childhood, I had learned a lot from my dad. With his high expectation and guidance, I couldn't afford to have many mistakes, cause my dad would scold me for that. :)

This is my first bike in year 1993, it's a Kawasaki KR150, plated NAD 6459. This bike is fully rebuilt by myself. I disassemble it, spray the paint and assemble all the parts. This is one of my achievement. My classmate took a ride before, right? Tommy? Hehee...
I squat beside the old man, we have some topics to talk about, I feel like to skip my work today, and hands-on... Kekekee... So silly of me, I feel like to learn a bit from him too, since I love DIY, maintain and service the car by myself. At the same time, I examine my car's parts as well, to check any wear and tear.. But... I have to leave for work... :(

Sometime you may wonder, if the people are creative or weird? They can always come out with plenty of diversity. Look at the pictures! Pengsan....

* Pengsan is a malay word, it means "Faint"... :)

Airport is a place, where you can see different faces, from different countries around the world. As well as the feelings and expression from the people. I have been visiting to KLIA for numbers of time since last year October, sending and picking up my brother, sister-in-law (SIL) and friends. This place always make people happy and sad.

Yesterday night at around 9:15pm, I went to KLIA with my sister, because my SIL was leaving for BeiJing in China, to meet up with her hubby, my brother. Both of them would stay there for long time. My brother is working for Ernst & Young now, quite busy with works; Where my SIL is going to get a job there, hopefully they will settle down sooner. I wish all the best to them. :)

I love F1, because I see the team building and spiritual supports. These days, good team work builds things perfectly. F1 returns to Malaysia on this weekend, 8th April 2007. I wish to join the crowd, but I have some issues to settle, hopefully I manage to go for it.

Good Friday. Ya.. Time flies, my US colleague (Bing) is leaving for the US today, back to his own sweet home, to see his own house, his beloved girlfriend, his dog and his car. After his work trip for 2 weeks in Malaysia, he enjoys... I hope! :)

To my surprise, my boss comes to me and gives me some money! He tells me that, Bing returns some money to me, since I've been a good tour guide for the past 2 weeks. I look at the money, feel annoying, "What's wrong with this guy ??" See! This is what he has left for me in the office.

He is a sweet guy, funny and cheerful, quite talkative and caring boy. I've learned a lot of things from him, we have had a lot of topics to share, like some funny stories happened at our headquarter office in the US, SchoolDude.com, the culture and living in the US, China (He's from China), as well as Malaysia. We enjoy eating the nice and famous foods in Kuala Lumpur, we had Ikan Bakar (Petaling street), Spicy Soup (Sri Kembangan), Bak Kut Teh (Klang and Petaling Jaya), mamak tea (Kayu @ SS2), Satay (Kajang) and etc...

Few days ago, this song came into my mind, Way Back Into Love, it's a nice sentimental song. The song is very catchy, there I tried to find the mp3, and yes! I had it.

It's a soundtrack for the movie Music and Lyrics, I have not watch it, but I believe it's a lovely movie, starred by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. There is another this new comer - very very pretty girl called Hayley Bennett. She is the original singer of the song, duet with Hugh. In the movie, they duet the song in a concert.

I keep on humming of the melody in my head. I play this song again and again during my office hours. YEAP! I'm crazy! And I tell myself, "If I can get the piano sheet on net?", and yes! I got the piano sheet too, I am so happy ! Hehe...

Here is the lyrics :
I’ve been living with a shadow overhead
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can’t seem to move on

I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I’ve been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but I just don’t see the signs
I know that it’s out there
There’s got to be something for my soul somewhere

I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night
I could use some direction
And I’m open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end

There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do And if you help me to start again
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end

Today is April Fool, I wake up at 8am and look at the sky, what a gloomy day. Although I had drinks with my buddy (Bing Xie) on yesterday night, I feel good. First thing I have to do is, wish my father - Happy Birthday, He's 54 years old. My mum thinks that I've forgotten about this, but I am not. I will never forget their big day! :)

My dad has been working hard, for his children, and I always appreciate this, treasure every single moment with family. And I'm not an expressive boy, but they always understand that I will do my best for the family. My dad love me very much, and he has high expectation on me, some times I may disappoint him, and he's alright with them, I'm so sorry for that, I love him so much. Deeply in my heart, he is the man! :)

See this? This is my first car, and it's my 21st birthday gift from my dad, back in year 1996.

It's still brand new after 11 years, I still love it, but it's knocked. Will send it for repairing soon on coming weekend.

Anyway, Happy Birthday to my dad.
