Pee Mak, a story of never ending love

Thai horrors. 

What is the first thing that came to your mind? 

BLOODY SCENES

The ending is always SCARY! 

COMPLICATED STORY. 

You are not the only one if you have these sentiments. Many people share the same sentiments too when it come to Thai Horror movies. I always hesitated when it comes to watching Thai horror movies, although the story lines are touching. 

But this so called Thai Horror Comedy movie, named Pee Mak is indeed HILARIOUS! AWESOME MOVIE! 

The story is based on Nak, a female ghost and her unyielding love for her husband, Mak. Nak and Mak, Mak and Nak. Okay, complicating. 

It is scary, but the comedy scenes make it even more interesting! The director of this movie is really, smart and witty. 

I have watched another version, Nang Nak which is kinda scary but has a touching ending. If you are soft hearted, you might not want to watch Nang Nak first. 

IF YOU ARE READING THIS POST, I RECOMMEND YOU TO WATCH IT! YOU CAN THANK ME LATER. AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Here is the trailer for the movie. 

I rest my case here. You can thank me later after watching the movie. I tell you, you won't regret it reader. :)

Hazy Monday! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I woke up as early as 500 AM to send mother to airport. She's going back Yangon today. I will be joining her a this Sunday. *YAWN*

So, checked in was done swiftly. Surprising.

Here is it. Mother's passport and boarding pass. SQ 998! SINGAPORE AIRLINES LEH! SHIOK ONLY! She's taking Singapore Airlines while I am stuck with budget. Oh well.

Have a safe flight, my dearest empress dowager. Have a safe journey there.

Anyways, she's back in Myanmar safe and sound. I wonder what she gonna say about SQ. After she went in, time for me to head to work, since it's no use going back home and coming out again. So I thought I would catch a wink in the train but who would have thought that it was crowded, much to my utter disappointment. I have to stand and stone for the rest of the journey to work.

There came lunch time, had my lunch with John at FC 4. I got my belated present from my bro. 

Wanna guess what's inside??

Actually, I had no idea what's inside it. Took me many guesses what's inside but to no avail. So when I went back to office and opened it, what inside the present was not a soft toy or a shirt as I expected when I touched it. It's a pencil case. But a big one. Needless to say, I love it of course. It's awesome man. Plus it big enough to put other stuff. Thanks bro for the toy.

Just in case you are wondering, the bear is not the present. I took the teddy bear by the name of SPianch from Junnie's cubicle to put at my cubicle, to "beautify" my place. Zaylinn's logic. Okay can!

At this point of time (3PM), the PSI reading is 100. OH GOSH! WHY SO HAZY? 

So, I passed the birthday card to Sok Ming after getting everyone to write their wishes. It took me one day to come out with it. Haha, the theme is based on travel, which suits her personality. I hope.

Here is it. Her birthday card, I edited it of course.*

Ben, "Director of Banana Cluster" presenting the "Certificate of Birthday" to the "Senior Manager of Banana Cluster" Birthday Girl. 

The awesome birthday girl with the awesome card made by awesome Zaylinn. Self flattery at it's best. 

I hope you love it Sok Ming! Once again,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The PSI reading as of 6 pm was 111. WAH! OMG THE ATMOSPHERE IS GETTING VERY BAD. 

How bad was it that, the moment I stepped out of the office, I felt suffocated, no kidding. It was that bad!

Decided to alight at Jurong East to take a tour around JEM to see what's so great about the place. My reaction: OH! Okay, like that lor. Nothing much to see anyway. And the crowd was so huge. Over rated sia, that place. 

Oh yea! THERE'S H&M. The prices don't look so friendly to me. But I saw some really nice shirts just under 20 bucks. Damn tempted to get it, but holding back real bad. CONTROL ZAY CONTROL! DON'T GIVE IT TO TEMPTATION!

BUT THE SHIRT LOOK REAL NICE! :( 

OKAY LA, I SHALL GET IT ON WEDNESDAY AFTER DINNER WITH REN SEN!

ZOMG! TOO MANY CLOTHES LIAO LEH! But the shirt look very nice and cheap. *play with thumbs*

HOLY MOLY SHIT! (Reference: Benedict's twitter and instagram) *Sorry Ben!* THE PSI READING AS OF NOW (10PM) IS 155? 

SHIT! IF IT GOES ANY HIGHER, I GONNA SELF-DECLARE HOLIDAY ALREADY. I wish.

Please let PSI drop, I don't want to be suffocated by the air. Indonesian neighbors, please be responsible of your actions. You are harming many lives. :( 

Time to become a "masked rider" tomorrow. *SHA BA TO BI HENSHIN SHA BA TO BI HENSHIN* MASKED RIDERRRRRRRR ZZZZ!!

Okay, lame enough, Time to sleep! 

Good night. Rain, where are you when Singapore needs you now desperately?

Back to blogging

Okie Dokie!

I am back to blogging again. Inspired by Sok Ming to and my desire to be famous (I wish, heh) has rekindled my urge to blog. Let's see how long can I stay inspired. Hopefully I will stay inspired to continue blogging.

So why not? It's fun anyway. First thing first, I have revamped my blog into a new look. Didn't know Google's latest tools can be so convenient and useful. It's quite handy and fun though. Looking forward to revamp my blogs again in future.

Let's talk about today since I have nothing in mind to talk about.

Thank God it's Friday. Literally thank God, Allah, Buddha, Guan Yin Ma yo!

Decided to go for a run during lunch time. Yes, I did run!

When I ran, how I see myself.

What I actually am.

Nonetheless, I managed to run one whole round around SP. Awesome much! Here is it, the model wannabe fatty me. Looking un-glamorous at it's best.

OH YES! I bumped into Jinwei after my run. It was great catching up with her, been a real long since I saw Jinwei. 

Oh yea, my bro Ying Sheng and his group of Acers were at CCOM today for new Acers interview. Felt like some real "ah pek" when I see them. Walao, why I so early graduate. :(

So I told Sok Ming about my blog and she got a good laugh at it. Apparently, she is having some reading problem. Sorry Sok Ming. x)

And then Frank came into the room, heard the commotion and asked what happened. He too joined Sok Ming in laughing at my poor blog. 

Why? 

Because of THIS! 

Being careless as usual, I didn't check properly before publishing my post. So instead of posting "MY BLESSED 21ST", I posted as "MY LESSED 21ST".

HAHAHAHAHHA, DAMN EMBARRASSING. EMBARRASSMENT OF THE DAY. AND LAUGH OF THE CENTURY.


Hope the two had a good laugh.

Moral of the story, double check.

As my sock got wet after showering, I decided to walked around office bare-footed, just like the peeps in DSD do. Hey, it was quite comfy know, even though it was quite unglam.

And, I didn't know what Mr Benjamin Moey, "Director of Banana Cluster" has something against wearing barefooted in office. Hahah.

Ben got real 'violent' and 'aggressive' when he saw me walking into the room barefooted. Hahah, scary sia, Mr Ben. Yvonne's comment: "Barefoot must have turned him on". Okay, this sounded wrong but HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH....

Sorry Ben x)

Went to Dobhy Ghaut to meet up with Dzafir and Greg and had a good catch up dinner with these two gays and jokers. Oh, hey, they are not really gays, gays = happy uh. Don't get the wrong ideas
Anyways, we had a real good laughter at Sakura Buffet too. Great evening catching up and reminiscing those good old days at Shangri-La. Shangri-La, I miss it so so much! More bros outing to come.

Le Me, Dzafir and Greg. The awesome mates of Operation Shangri La 2011. The people that still keep in contact with one another. 

My day, is, completed. A day filled with laughter, wish everyday could be like this. How great would it be, don't you think so?

My Blessed 21st

YES!

YES!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I'M OFFICIALLY 21. SWEET 21! 

A year older, a year wiser. I hope. Anyway, I had a pretty awesome birthday amid the shits that life thrown at me.

It was awesome. In fact, the best party that I ever had.

I had three celebrations in fact. Two advanced celebrations by my real awesome colleagues and one with Jeff, one of my fav bros of all time, without whom I will be clueless without his advises. The last one was on my birthday itself. It was really heartwarming to see and know that I am being loved and cared for.

First, it was with CCOM on 31st May. 

Back Row (L to R) - Ben, Junnie, Frank

Front ( L to R) - Sok Ming, Yvonne, Le Me

Talk about unglam-ness, this is one hell awesome but unglam birthday card that made by CCOM. Haha, what else can I say besides being touched? 

Awesome much, eh. 

So, June came. 1st June, I went for hiking with Jeff. He gave me his "present", which is his presence. Knowing this bro of mine who don't have a habit of buying presents and gifts for people, his presence and making time for me is definitely more than enough. I couldn't ask for more.

This guy, looks super "cool" and "tao" in appearance, but he is really a caring bro. Without him, I would be clueless when dealing with the shits life thrown at me. 

See, this guy with his usual "act cool" style. But this is the Jeff I know. Haha

Here it is, Jeff brought me to dessert at China Town after hiking from Mount Faber to Bukit Chandu and donating blood. Oh yes! I donated blood and he was there to accompany me too! Awesome much bro. And, woah! I was treated to the dessert. Happy Cheapo, and happy, pleased, and glad by simple yet really nice gesture of his. Feel really appreciated. 

Meet Jeff! A bro who I can't live without (I believe I have said it too many times till it is getting very cliche). I am really glad and helpful to have him by my side. I am thankful and glad that I get to know him and having him as my bro!

Not forgetting dear PEARLYN GOH who appeared in front of my door to pass me the birthday card. SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE! Haha, I am indeed touched by her. Totally speechless, really! Shock, surprised, speechless and touched. Pearlyn, haha, don't think you are not important and nobody. You are somebody and really important friend in my life. Haha, you brought smile and laughter into our lives. Keep it up Holy GOH! :)

Okay! 2nd June. The day is here. And LEE XIN YI, I want to kill you! HAHAHA, BLOODY HELL! PRANK ME INTO BELIEVING THAT YOU ARE AT MY HOUSE VOID DECK WAITING FOR ME TO COME DOWN! BLOODY HELL! YOU GOT ME THIS TIME! *&*)%($@^#&(

KARMA UH KARMA. 

So comes the BBQ Party after a whole day. My aunty, mommy, grandparents really put a lot of effort into it despite saying they couldn't be bothered with the party. But well, they really rock! Especially my mother dear who was more kan cheong than me. Keep nagging me to get everything prepared. Of course, the party won't success without them. <3 p="">

It was a huge success I could said. Almost all of my buddies/bros/peeps/bitches are there. Some of them formed friendships with each other. It was a memorable one despite some drama. Let's feature some of the people! Hey peeps, if you are reading this, and your photo/face didn't appear here, no hard feeling. You are equally important to me! :)

Operation Shangri-la 2011 peeps. Shiming, Greg, Enqi, Le me and Shimin. My two bros and two "daughters  " from human train family. 

Oh yea! I forgot to mentioned THERE WAS RAINBOW!!! It rained for about five minutes when we started BBQ and a rainbow appeared when it stops. Awesome much!!!! It was like a present from someone above.

Ying Sheng, another bro whom I met in Project Muan 2. Super outgoing and friendly.

Here it is. My fav couple. Nasuha and Kan Xuan. <3 p="" them.="">

Shan Wen, Richie, Le me, Frankie and Shi Min. :)

THIS BLOODY BIMBO WHO TRICKED ME AT MIDNIGHT! HAHAHA, I HATE YOU LEE XINYI! She's an awesome buddy of mine, irritating, annoying and blah blah blah. But when you need her, she's always there for yea, that's awesome enough. :)

Yeap, I didn't expect to see this for my 21st, but the two girls below took a lot of time and effort to make it happened. Awesome much, isn't it!

Introducing my two fav girls of Boon Lay Secondary School. Hilary and Zenda. Awesome swaggers. Nuff said.

Say hi to Gilbert Kwek, an idiot whom I see as my best friend. Idk what he sees about me la, haha. But this joker, definitely someone I am afraid to lose away. One of my two fav guys of Boon Lay Sec.

Introducing Eugene Lim JUN LIANG! HAHAHAH! My another fav guy of Boon Lay Sec. What awesome about him? Long long story, whole life will be wasted, juices will dry. Whatever la! Haha, he is just awesome and of course I can't afford to lose him too!

Not forgetting the most awesome-est female of my life, my dearest, loving, sometimes annoying and naggy but awesome mother. Love you mother, for everything. You are really the greatest!

I always believed in miracle, and yes, miracle happened. I was not expecting a huge turn out but it appeared that many appeared out of nowhere. Almost all my close friends/bros/buddies turn up. I am pretty much touched and happy. What else could I ask for? This is definitely the best party ever. It may be a lowly void deck celebration but hey, it definitely a lot better and much more meaningful than stay at hotel, drink alcohol, club, get drunk parties. Much much better! 

This is miracle, I am pretty sure. These people will always be a part of my life, I can't afford to lose them away. 

21st birthday, it was indeed an awesome moment. What lies ahead in my journey, I may not have the answer. But I will definitely fight on and move on. 

I have many reasons to be strong and to carry on. 

You can do it Zay.

Graduation 2013; celebration of all the hard works

 16 May 2013.

The day I graduated from Singapore Polytechnics, Dilpoma in Human Resource Management with Psychology.

Three years have passed. Time to graduate and move on to another phase of life. Well, army.

Diploma award presentation, my moment of glory. Sorry reader, you have to tilt your head to see the picture clearly.

With Le family

 

With the flower from Toby!

My awesome CCOM - Media Relations Team! 

With Le boss of Department of Corp Comm.

It was definitely a proud moment for me. All these was made possible thanks to my Laobu, Empress Dowager aka my dear loving mother for all her sacrifices and her selfless love. Her love for me knows no bound despite constant quarrel and conflict. Thank you for everything Mom. :)

Thanks for everything Mother. :) 

What make me even prouder is that I am the first one in my family (both father and mother sides) to obtain a diploma or a proper education certificate. How awesome can it get. :) I did it! 

Along with this graduation, let me dedicate this to my dear father who passed away just a month before my graduation. 

"Hi father, I did it. I hope you can see your dear son and hope you will be proud of my achievement. I am happy that you are always proud of me and thanks for not forgetting me. Of course I am remorseful and regretted my actions towards you, like calling you by your name, not being there for you when you needed me, wasn't able to take good care of you when you were sick. But in the deep within, you know that I love you dad. Just that I was unable to bring it out. I always struggled between two families. My mom and your family. As much as I love you, mother needs me more than you ever were father. I am all what mother has and she is my world too. But father, you were loved by me too. I am so sorry that I wasn't able to spend a proper father and son quality time with you. 

I hope that you will be in a better place father. At least, you are free from complication of material world. You are free from sufferings in this world. I hope you will find a better place father. Wherever you are, just remember that I will always love you, as much as I love mother. You will always be remembered, because you are my father, and no one else is going to replace you father. 

I believe that my thoughts will be able to reach you, I believe you will be able to see it too. You will always be in my heart. 

Please look after your beloved ones father. And just to let you know, no matter how wicked, despicable and deceitful you-know-is, no matter what they think of me (as some asshole after your assets and inheritance) or what they did to me, I won't hate them. Trust me, your son is not a greedy person after, I don't really need any of them. I truly pity those people. You gotta be proud of your son's compassion. I am not being weak or softhearted, this show how strong I have become. You have to be proud of me at this.

Thank you for your gift of life and your kindness and your tender love. I am proud to be your son. You will always be missed father."

 Rest in Peace father. I hope that my graduation and me adorning this robe will be able to make you proud. Though, you were not able to see it while you were alive, I believe you would be feeling proud of your son wearing this robe. This is the only way I could ever repay you. Hope you can see this from the other realm.

My graduation has come to an end. Life moves on. Hi Army, please be good to me.

If we don't unite, who else will?

There has been reports on new wave of sectarian unrest in Myanmar. This news is not unusual to the people living in Myanmar.

So what's going on in Myanmar?

Fight. Unrest. Violence. All started by difference in religious practices.

There fighting between the Muslims and Buddhists has been for quite a while. Just when you think it is over, another scene broke out.

Just what went wrong?

I wish I know what went wrong but there were many rumors circulating around. All I could say is the Intolerance and lack of Unity among devotees of two religions in Myanmar.

I wouldn't dare blame anyone or make judgement on who is right and who is wrong. Because, it wouldn't be fair for both sides.

Knowing my fellow countrymen's character and their "A hti ma kan Shwe Pa Gan" or untouchable gold plate (literally) attitude, it will be hard to bring the situation under control and settle the things in amicable manner. But Keep Trying U Thein Sein (President) and Government. I believe you can do it.

So let's get back to topic.

Our country seriously lacking in Unity. Religious intolerance is becoming a norm in the country. To stir up, people taking advantage (in a bad way) of Internet to spread false rumor, be it true or false.

As a results, things turn BLOODY! WAY BLOODY THAN ANYONE CAN IMAGINE.

My point here is hey, We may be Buddhists, we may be Muslims. We may be followers of any other religions. But, we are ONE people. We are one country. We are a part of Myanmar. We stay in Myanmar, we drink the water provided by her, we eat the food that grown here. We live in ONE MYANMAR! We speak the same language.

So why are we so divided? Is there a need to be divided because of difference faiths?

I really hope that everyone will learn to live in harmony, regardless of race or religion.

The road to harmony is long, but, I know that the day will come. One day... til then, stay strong Myanmar, stay united fellow countrymen, regardless of who you are.

Because if we don't stay united, who else will?

Pleasing people, are you happy with that?

"We were born to be ourselves, not to please others."

Do you agree with this? Are you a pleaser (sorry, this word does not exist in dictionary. It is a new term given by me, heh!) who is so busy pleasing other that you don't have a time for yourself? 

So here's the question? You are pleasing others but are you please and happy with yourself? 

Sometimes, people are trying so hard to please people so that they can be accepted, but to be honest, I doubt they are happy and satisfied with themselves at the end of the day. You don't find the satisfaction with yourselves as you were busy satisfying other. 

In other words, YOU ARE NOT BEING YOURSELF. You are being someone like, hmm, how do I put it ... hollow. YES, HOLLOW! THAT'S THE WORD. It's like you don't have a life for yourself. You are like a shell with nothing inside. You are living your life according to people's opinion. You are constantly changing yourself (mind, clothing, appearance, etc) to please people. You dare not say no to the people fearing that they might not like you. 

Seriously, I pity these type of people. They have low self esteem or worse, none at all. They are not happy with themselves. They are constantly finding ways to be accepted into social circle. One word, PATHETIC. 

To be honest, I too used to be a pathetic joker who always finding ways to please other, two or three years back.  I was never satisfied with myself. I always feared, what if, one day... What if. I started questioning myself often, am I really happy with myself? I did an inner soul search, asked myself, what I want to do? *the journey to the truth is being omitted*

Yes, I am definitely happier now. Life is much better and more awesome now. I am living being me. 

I was not the only one. Yours truly has a friend like this. I am omitting the friend's name in order to protect her identity.  Her story is much more pathetic (and sadder) than me. She would do anything, technically to make people; to please them. She would make up stories, do whatevercrapnonsensical to be accepted, to get sympathy from people. She would lie over and again. She was not being herself. She was being the person other people see in her. 

I would say this kind of people are really insecure. They need someone to assure them that they don't have to do all these meaningless shits everyday. Next time if you see someone who was trying so hard to pleasing others, making other happy, instead of taking advantage of them, give them a hug or a talk or whatsoever thing you can think of, tell them that they don't have to try so hard to be accepted. Ask them to be themselves. If you are true friend enough, I believe you would not want to see your friend to be sad, am I right?

"All you need is 20 seconds of insane courage, and I promise you something great will come of it."

Signing Off. 

Celebrating friend's achievement - are you true friend enough?

Let's have a train of thought times. The topic is, "Are you true friend enough?"

You do not have to think far for that. Let's do something simple. Say, if your friend has achieved something great. Will you be happy or will you be getting jealous over your friend's achievement, secretly cursing him while putting on a sheep skin?

If you chose the former, yes, indeed you are a true friend. 'Nuff said.

So this close friend of mine was awarded the Gold medalist of his course and in fact, I was real happy proud of him. He earned it, he deserved to be awarded.

In fact, I was getting all hype up, excited and happy. I would love to show him off and tell others that he is my friend, my bro. Haters gonna hate but screw them. Haha.

I am proud and I know it.

End of story.

Reality - Are you brave enough?

Sometimes, it occurred to me that, you know, one day we have to let go of the friends who were so dear to us. Even the thought of it makes me sad. We can't hold them forever, we will have to part ways sooner or later.

Oh well, there's a saying; most friends do not last. Yup, let's take a look at ourselves. Let us rewind back a little, perhaps 3 years ago. We met many friends (definitely) for past three years. Some of them became a part of us. And now, let's ask ourselves. Did those last forever? Did those so called people that became a part of us stayed with us? 

The answer is obvious, no. They moved on. These friends came into our lives and then they chose to move on, leaving us puzzled. 

Well, this is the reality. Most friendships did not last. 

I too, hit by the harsh realization that oh well, I would have to let go of friends who were so endeared to me. Nope, I am not contradicting myself; I treasure my friends, I tried my best to retain them and it pained me to see them leave my life too. 

What could I do? Nothing. It was an obvious fact that the friendship was fading and there was nothing I could do to stop it from fading away. I could not do anything prevent them from leaving. I pretend to stay oblivious to the fact but at the end of the day, I still need to accept it. This is inevitable cycle of life. This is reality, not some fairy tale nor fantasy that we see in television and books. 

But hey, there are some extraordinary people, the true friends, they chose to stay behind with us. 

Yes, they are the people we should cherish and treasure because they did not leave us. They are the people worth fighting for. Don't ever let go of these people, or you will be regretted for the rest of your life. 

This is reality, are you brave enough to embrace it? Not to worry, you still have the people worth living for.
