Asian Auto-Mudah.my Fuel Efficiency Awards 2009 Unveils Malaysia’s Most Fuel Efficient Cars

The New Era's Monster

We have always argued "My car can run further than your car, My car more save fuel than yours" or "Yalah, my car drink petrol like drink water" or "Haih, i spend so much on my car petrol, not like yours, so Save Fuel"..

Well, all thanks to Asian Auto-Mudah.my. It is their second year running, the first and only automotive awards in Malaysia to recognize fuel efficient vehicles, announcing the results for Fuel Efficiency Awards 2009.

For all of you who owns a car, and claims that your car is more Save Fuel than one another, below is a reference. IF you think your car consume more fuel, try to change the way you drive, or, send your car for some Overhaul. But, the best thing is, send your car for maintenance timely.
If your car has achieved even better results than below, perhaps you might want to share with us your secrets. :)

p/s: I am curious why MyVi and ViVa are not in the list. Perodua self-claimed Most Fuel Efficient Vehicle? OR, they try to avoid Perodua from winning the awards, because giving space to Proton. Debatable. Another one, Honda City is supposed to be Most Fuel-Efficient City Car, But..But..But..

Perhaps some of us aren't aware of the history of Proton and Perodua, here's a short story i would like to tell.

Overview
A story about the two (2) Sons of Malaysia, Elder Son – Proton and Younger Son – Perodua. This post is targeted at Malaysian readers, hence non-Malaysians readers might would like to skip this post unless they are interested in Malaysia’s local car industry.

Disclaimer
I am not the author of the following story, I received this via an email forward quite a long time ago. Spend quite some time digging this up as I can’t remember the title, the story is about two car manufacturing firms in Malaysia so I guess that only Malaysians can truly understand what it is talking about.

Proton vs Perodua
Once, there was a family known as Malaysia. In 1985, they were blessed with their first born, Proton. The family loved Proton all they can.

They gave Proton everything. They protected Proton from the bigger boys in Kindergarden. They told Proton, “You’re young, you need protection from them. It’s okay to make mistakes, you’re young. Even if you don’t learn from mistakes…it’s okay…you are young.”

Proton became spoilt. He always depended on parents and used up all his allowance on useless things. When he had to do his chores, he paid people to do it and the work is lousy, causing the parents having to call repairmen to fix all the mess that he made.

Anyway, when Proton was 10 (but he still acted like he is 1 or 2 years old), he had a younger brother, Perodua. At first, everyone thought.

This younger brother will be like Proton. Anyway, this new baby was more handsome and looks smarter than Proton. Malaysia knew there is a possibility Perodua could be smarter than proton. Since they love Proton so much, they decided that Perodua can only learn a few things. Cannot learn the same thing as Proton. This is so that Perodua wouldn’t Beat Proton at what Proton is doing.

Although Perodua was also protected by Malaysia, he learn to be independent very fast. He made good friends with Daihatsu, who had An elder brother Toyota. The two of them helped Perodua in everything. Perodua, being independent and smart, learned a lot and in a short while, was becoming as good as, if not better, than Proton.

Malaysia realized that Perodua was becoming better than his brother.Although proud of Perodua, they still love Proton best. They paid Lotus which is older and well known worldwide) to be friends with Proton.

Using this advantage, Proton mentioned Lotus every time he wanted to Tell people about himself. On this own, he was still the same.

Moreover, Proton is always not updated. When doing his work, he Still uses the typewriter and refuses to use the computer. Perodua, so much younger, used the computer, with broadband for his work. Perodua was improving so much that Toyota has assigned him with his work, codename Avanza.

2005. Proton is 20 years old, Perodua only 10. It was obvious that Perodua was the more successful of the two siblings. What is worse,Proton said he still need his parents to help him for another 10 years.

He still need to protection from the big boys. In May 2005, Perodua was about the show Malaysia his best work so far…codename Myvi. Proton, being jealous…quickly came up with an unprofessional remark about Perodua’s work and show his work at the same time as Perodua on purpose.

The future of Malaysia and her two kids are still unknown. But it would be obvious that Perodua will shine, leaving Proton crying. It would be wonder if in 2015, Proton will ask Malaysia for another 10 years of Help and protection…maybe this time…protection from Perodua as well

……….THE END

Air Asia VS Malaysia Airlines

Looking back several decades ago, when traveling across the nations by Plane had been something which only the rich could afford. For the poor, they have always gone to the Airport to look at aeroplanes landing and take-off. For the government servants, they have always been waiting for the free passage ONCE for every 3 years. For the above average, of course, they get to fly without any worries and thoughts.

I have been fortunate enough to fly at very young age, because my parents are under the 2nd Category, which have been waiting for 3 odd years just to get the chance to bring their family for a trip to KL. By then, only Malaysia Airlines was available. Hence, it was so obvious that the air route was dominated by MAS. Nevertheless, their service were excellent. They served good foods on board, offering souvenirs to the little ones, and IF you are cold and uncomfortable of the seat, you can always request for blankets and pillows. I had quite a few bad experiences flying, because i tend to vomit and got headache whenever sitting in an aeroplane. Weakling me...

So, those were the days when MAS had their golden years. Their indisputable service were finally threatened by the new born baby, Air Asia.

Air Asia is just similar to a smart kid. When we look at those extraordinary kid, they tend to learn things faster than normal human, and can even master knowledge only 30 years old people can achieve. Same goes to AirAsia. Under the leadership of Datuk Tony Fernandes, Air Asia has grown fast enough to become one of the best Low-Cost Courier in the world.

Air Asia is smart enough to come out with the theme "Now Everyone Can Fly". MAS is not that bad too, with the theme "Malaysian Hospitality".

From these air courier companies, i have actually learnt one lesson from it.

"In order to suit yourself in this ever changing world, you have to adapt to what is around, and never be stubborn with what you think it the best. What is applicable 10 years back doesn't mean it is still effective today."

I guess this goes to General Motors too, and they are regaining back their position.

MAS had faced quite a huge loss for the past few years, ever since AirAsia emerged as the most-favourite Airlines in Malaysia. Ever since, they have adopted AirAsia's strategy to sustain in the airline industry. Undoubtedly, MAS is protected by our Malaysian Government. Hence, they were pampered all this while. This is the time for them to show what they are actually made on. Not on Government, but because of their Past Excellent tracks record and history.

But, i would like to list down some of the amazing things about each airlines. Behold, the following are just my personal views, and shall not be related to any particular groups/ parties/ people.

Source: Ngaiti.Com

Let me start with Air Asia.

1. They offer free seats

2. They offer low-price seats

3. They waive Airport Tax

4. They ease air ticket purchasing through online booking

5. They have pretty stewardess

6. LCCT is easily accessible at low price (SkyBus)

7. They accept CIMB & Maybank account for online booking (no longer rely on Credit Cards)

8. They have a very well-written magazine on board - Travel2Sixty.

BUT

1. They like to trick customers with their Go-Insure Insurance. "Click CANCEL to cancel insurance, not OK"

2. Airport tax is waived, but there are still other charges being applied. Recently, they charge for booking through Credit Card. So, use CIMB or Maybank for cheaper rates.

3. They only allow 15KG luggage weight to be checked in.

4. They charge for the number of checked-in luggages

5. The service crews/ staffs of AirAsi

a are a little arrogant, and unfriendly EXCEPT the stewardess. (I believe most of us agree with this).

6. The impose quite a high charges on the food menu.

7. Passengers has to walk up/ down the stairs to board/ leave the plane.

8. Impose a lot of charges for flight ticket change.

9. A few more which i am lazy to list them down here.

So, now let's compare with MAS.

1. MAS provides the "Canopy" or "overhead shelter" when boarding/ leaving the plane.

2. They treat their customers with the principle "Customers always Right".

3. They open new counter 30 minutes before departure of flight, to cater for passengers who are still in the queue. If Air Asia, they will just keep silent and by the time you reach the counter, "I am sorry Sir, but our counter is closed. You will have to catch the next flight to reach your destination". Too "Business Oriented".

4. Very considerate. Let's look at how they deal with passengers with baby. They will serve the Father with the meal 20 minutes before the original catering time. Hence, by the time they serve the meal, the Father can take care of the baby, and the Mother can happily enjoy her meal. THUMB UP!!

5. Adopting Air Asia's strategy, which makes our flying experience even greater.

6. No limit of number of Checked-in Luggages.

7. Tolerance of +-2KG from 20 KGs for luggage.

8. Friendly Staffs. 9. More spacious seats

BUT

1. Fare is a little too expensive

2. Old Aircraft

3. Un-Screened selection of Stewardess/ Steward. The rule of "170cm for Female, and 180cm for Male" no longer applies.

4. Yet to think

All in all, their pilot's landing skill has improved a lot, expecially for MAS airlines. Last time, whenever the aircraft touching the runway, i could feel my heart nearly fell out from my body. Now, it's all smooth and comfortable landing. Wee~

Golf Lesson # 1

Today, i had a chat with my colleagues, specifically Khairul, Chieng and Su. We were having our free chat as usual, until the GOLF topic popped up. Certainly, Khairul who claims himself as pro, has a lot to say. On the other side, me as a rookie, has a lot to ask. So, here goes.

Handicap.

Khairul explained to me what handicap means. In a golf game, it is actually a very fair game. When you are playing against a pro, he will have to give you some handicap. Say, in a PAR game, they have 18 holes, with 4 Stroke each. So, in total, you will have 72 strokes per game.

Aiyak. TBC.

Making the Wise Choice

As usual, i went to NLF every Sunday to listen to the preaching...

The topic today was Making the Wise Choice. Well, certainly, during preaching, everything revolves around making your choice to God..which is believing in Jesus, and believes in the existence of God, whereby only HE is the almight God who will bless us if we have faith in HIM.

However, from the preaching, i have applied it into my own real life situation. Well, not that i do not believe in Christianity beliefs, it's just that i have my own religion, and i am quite sure i have made the right choice. Nevertheless, attending Sunday service is a nothing-to-lose event and not-to-be-missed. I have met a lot of kind and interesting people there, and the eagerness in joining their fellowship is strong. Somehow or rather, i am still standing strong on my own will and principle.

Speaking of making the right choice, the first thing that flashed through my mind was my current career. I have been struggling under the thunder storm before this, and i have started to get the rhythm of it, fortunately. However, just as i am getting myself comfortable with the new environment, i was told that i will be transferred to another department, which seemingly as attractive as my current position. Hence, this is the part where i was considering. Is it the right choice to transfer to out? Or, is staying back doing what i am doing right now is the right choice?

This has been quite a tough choice for me to make. Why? Because there is no choice for me to choose from. I was told, to move to the new department. I was not asked, if i would want to go to that department. I can't deny that at first place, i do have the intention to have a shift to that department, but, as time goes by, i somehow have found the right ground for me. After all, i have never requested to transfer department at first place. It was my Superior who thinks that that department is where i shall belong to, because my current department needs a tiger, not a cat.

Speaking of which, this is what i was told. "There is of course a reason why i want to transfer you to that department. If i give them a kitten, i expect a tiger. Then i will let them train the kitten to be a tiger. Whether the kitten can join back the department or not, it is all dependent on future job opening." Frankly, i felt slightly offended by his statement. But what can i do, i am just a little kitten leeching the resources of my current department. I am happy with where i am now, and im not sure if i will be happy in the new department i will be shifting to.

All i can do now, is to pray. I will pray that i will make the right choice. By praying so, i don't expect things to fall into place by itself. IF, i think that remaining in the current department is the right choice, hence i will try to resist moving out. Else, if i think that switching department is the right choice, i will just follow the flow, and reach the river stream, and then into the sea. Perhaps opportunity awaits at the end of the sea, if there is.

So, what's the right choice to make? I will decide while attending my Natural Gas Course, which will stretch for one whole week, which includes plant visit and longhouse visit. Kinda interesting though looking at the itinerary. Hopefully the whole program exceeds expection!!

Good Night Middle-East-Sarawakians...May tomorrow be a better day that today....

Lesson to be learnt

Lesson 1

Go through troubles without complaining
There is always reason why there are so many challenges and barriers in our lives. Especially when we are trying to reach something. People tend to give up halfway when challenges come one after another. For instance. When you are trying to go to Miri to have a meal of McD. There are so many challenges to go through.
1. How are you going over? Car? If you don't have. Bus? Troublesome. Cant make it in time.
2. If you are driving. Coastal Road? Safe during day time, dangerous at night. Old Road? Safe, but the journey is a roller-coaster ride.
3. Is you car filled with enough Fuel? There's no petrol station along the road. WHAT IF, your car is running out of fuel? Are you gonna call someone from Bintulu and pull your car back? Or you are gonna call someone to pull your car from Miri.
4. When you reach Miri. You cant recognise the road either.
5. Bla Bla Bla...

So, that's a very simple example. Any challenges that existed in our lives are meant to be for a reason. Those challenges are to discipline us, to train us, to be a better person.
My advice is that, if you face trouble in the future, be it minor or major. Do not give up. Do not blame. Face it with courage, and without you even notice it, you have grown to be a strong and persistent person.

Lesson 2

Forgive and Forget, Let Bygone be Bygone
Forgiving is a practice. It is something everyone should have in their soul. The statements says that, for each behaviour or act acted upon us, they weren't meant to be done in purpose. Therefore, try to put down your sword, and bestow upon him. Forgive is a deed. I have always believed in Karma. Whoever does wrong to us, we give them chance to change. That's our part in that particular person's life. Whatever punishment that he deserves, we leave it to the Karma or justice. Who are we to Judge anyway?

Lesson 3

Do what you can, and do not look on what others can
I believe this is very true in the sense that, "Do not put on hat that doesn't suit you". It implies Do anything that is within your capability, and control. Do not look at what others can afford/ accomplish, and measure his extend to your ownself. So, be contented, and work harder if you want to make a difference in life.

Lesson 4

In a race, it is the effort in finishing the race that matters, and not winning the race


Lesson 5

Build your life on strong foundation
For instance. Wise man build the house on rock. When the rain comes down, thunder storms, streams flow, the house will still stand still firmly on the rock.
Foolish man, build house on sand. When rain comes down, thunder storms, stream flows, the how will collapse with the sand underneath it.

Lesson 6

Getting rid of your old self, and renew to be a new and better person

Lesson 7

Always aim for eternity, and not temporary



Here's something to Cheer you up.
The story goes like this. It is about a baby camel and a mummy camel.

BABY Camel: Mum, why do we have hump on our back?
MUMMY Camel: Because it allows us to travel in the desert for a long time without feeling thirsty.

Hence, BABY Camel feel satisfy with the answer. But he feel curious about another thing, and asked the 2nd question.

BABY Camel: But Mum, why do we have long eye lashes?
MUMMY Camel: My dear, these long eye lashes protects our eyes from the flying sand in the desert.

Again, the BABY Camel is satisfied with the answer. BUT, he is still curious about another thing and asked the 3rd Question.

BABY Camel: Mum, why do we have long legs?
MUMMY Camel: This is because the sand is very hot, and with these long legs, it prevents our body from getting too near to the hot sand, and less heat to our body.

The BABY Camel now understand all the gifts that is given upon the Camel Species.

Therefore, he asked the last question which them MUMMY Camel cant even answer.

BABY Camel: But Mum, WHAT ARE WE DOING IN A ZOO??

(Hope you get the meaning).

Orange
If orange is your favorite fruit; it speaks of a person who has enduring patience and willpower. You like to do things slowly; but very thoroughly and are completely undaunted by hard work. You tend to be shy; but are a reliable and trustworthy friend. You have an aesthetic bent of mind. You select your partner with care and thought; you love with all your heart, and are not in for just a fling. You avoid conflict at all costs.

Apple
If apple is your favorite fruit, you are an extravagant, impulsive and outspoken person; often with a bit of a temper. While you may not be the best organizer yourself, you make a good team leader; and are good at taking things forward. You can take quick action in most situations. You enjoy travel immensely. You ooze with charm when you are with your partner. You have an enthusiasm for life, unmatched by most.

Banana
You are a softie! Loving, gentle, warm and sympathetic by nature is the banana lover. You often lack in self-confidence and are quite timid by nature. People often take advantage of your sweet temperedness, and sheer vulnerability to a situation. You adore your partner in every which way, both for their mental and physical beauty! Because of the way you are, your relationship is always, very much in harmony!

Coconut
The coconut lover is a serious, very thoughtful and contemplative person. Though you enjoy socializing, you are particular about the company you keep. You tend to be stubborn but not necessarily foolhardy. Shrewd, quick-witted and alert, you ensure that you are right on top of any given scenario, especially at work. You need a partner with brains, and while passion is important it certainly isn't everything for you.

Pineapple
You are quick to decide and even quicker to act. You are brave in making career changes; if that is what is to your advantage. You have exceptional organizing abilities and are undaunted by the size of the task at hand. You tend to be self reliant, sincere and honest in your dealings with others. Though you are not given to making friends very quickly, but once you do, it is for life. You rarely, if ever, make romantic overtures. Your partner is often impressed with your sterling qualities but disappointed in your ability to show affection.

Papaya
You are truly fearless and take much that happens in life, in your stride. You give considerable thought to things you do. You have a sense of humor that along with your generous nature keeps you in most people's good books. You are a go-getter in your professional life, and have a knack for being in the right place at the right time. You enjoy meeting new people and seeing new sights whenever you can. Your sense of humor is what attracts members of the opposite sex to you more than anything else. It is simply charming!

Mango
A mango lover is a personality to be reckoned with; quite often you are a person who has quite fixed ideas, and influencing you is no easy task. You tend to be an extremist with strong likes and dislikes; and at times even like to control a situation. You enjoy getting involved in something that presents mental challenge. Strong as you may be, you are like a kitten when you are with your partner. You accommodate the love of your life, and make up for all the strong will elsewhere!

Cherry
If cherry is your favorite fruit, life isn't always as sweet for you. You often face ups and downs, particularly professionally; and find that you make small sums of money, instead of a lump sum. You have a fertile imagination and are often involved in creative pursuits. You are a very sincere and loyal partner; but find that expressing your feelings is not very easy. Your home is your haven, and you love nothing more than being surrounded by close family and your beloved partner.

Black grapes
You are a polite person in general, but do have quick flare-ups of temper that cool down just as quickly. You enjoy beauty in all forms, including beautiful people. You are very popular because of your warm, gregarious nature. You have a zest for life; you enjoy every thing you do, right from the way you dress, to your style and élan in your day-to-day life. Your partner must share your zeal and zing for life… to enjoy all you have to offer!

Peach
Like a peach, you enjoy the juice of life… it all its lush ripeness! You are the friendly sort, and are quite frank and outspoken, which adds to your charm. You are quick to forgive and forget; and value your friendships highly. You have an independent and ambitious streak in you, that makes you a real go-getter. You are the ideal lover, fiery and passionate but sincere and faithful in love. You don't however like to display all that passion in public.

Custard apple
You are a modest and conservative person; who can be quite sensitive at times. You tend to be thoughtful and contemplative, and therefore are rarely rash in doing things. You are quite ambitious; and are good at anything that requires much detailing or working with numbers. You are quick at finding fault with others. While looking for a partner, you value a person's intellect far above their looks or good old passion. You are quite shy and not very comfortable demonstrating affection.

Pear
If you put your mind to something you can do it successfully, but by and large you tend to be fickle and have trouble completing a task with the enthusiasm you started it with. You need to know the results of your efforts almost immediately. You enjoy mental stimulation; and love to get into a good discussion. You tend to be a restless and high-strung person, and are easily excitable. While you are quick to strike up a friendship with someone, maintaining it does not seem to be easy for you.

Try it! its quite true!!

Critism

Whenever we move into a stall. A dirty unhygenic stall. What's the first thing in mind? Critism.

Whenever we move into a new house. The house has dirty toilets, ugly house owner, no streamyx, no astro, lousy old haggy fridge. What's the first thing in mind again? Critism.

Whenever we tasted a not-so-famous laksa. What's the first thing in mind? Yuck..followed by Critism.

Those are just the few examples we can see throughout out daily life. Yeah, nowadays unemployment rate has risen to a level which is unpredictable and unbelievable by most of the so-called-developed contries, and who have ever speculated GM would go bancrupt in just a merely 5% of a decade? Just imagine how long have they established their grounds in that deadly soil of theirs..

So, instead of being sarcastic and critize whichever thing we encounter in our life, WHY NOT we try to think it in the other way round. There's always silver lining behind all those right? Let's us start to appreciate whatever we have, whoever we are with, and whichever thing we do. Do not start complaining before even thinking of how it's gonna affect the next minute of your life. Things happen for a reason. I wouldn't want to elaborate more bout my case, but there are just few things which i think most of you agree how i have been ungrateful all these years.

1. When i got Petronas scholarship to further study in UTP. I said, "Damn it, why don't you offer me overseas scholarship? Does it really cost you a bomb to send another kid over?" We have never thought o f how many people out there are dying for this offer.

2. When i moved into Village 5 (Duyung), i was like "Shit..are we gonna stay here at the mean time? This doesn't look like hostel, not even a bit". We should be thankful for the shelter they have provided us with.

3. When i used to have a good companion, i tend to neglect them. I was thinking "Well, all men deserve a spare tyre. I don't look bad afterall, it wasn't so hard to get another one even if i lose this one". Now, when you look back, you know how selfish you are, and how ungrateful you have become. There are so many people out there queuing for the one being with you, and yet you did other things which wasn't right. Repented anyway..

4. When you have a lecturer from overseas, teaching you during lecture. You might think that, "WHy don't UTP hires more American or British lecturer..others have it!!" Yea right...just imagine how many universities in Malaysia has pakistanis and sudanese lecturers in their premises...we are fortunate to have potential lecturers sharing their knowledge with us in UTP.

5. Currently, i am having the most challenging time of my life. THis new job is really challenging my patience as well as passions. I was complaining bout how my department have treated me, how the HR has done their GREAT job, and so forth. Yet, have i ever thought that, "yea, this is the time for me to prove that i am actually capable of living up to that challenge..you don't need me here because i am a fresh graduate. Fine. I will show you someday that it's your loss for not having me in your department. I am gonna help the other department grow and flourish. And who knows, that department would be a better foundation for me in future. The path i have yearned for all these years. Besides, how many people is dying for a job here?Thousands maybe..

6. Whenever we saw a fat girl on the street. Immediately, we labelled them as FAT girl. No hope of being pretty. This is so common in my own university where i have coursemates calling someone fat, and making fun of others at the same time. I did that sometime too, but within limit anyway. Yea, this is obvious isn't it. We tend to call others ugly, short, fat...all of those negative comments. Why not you just stop for a moment, think back of what you have spoken, and ask yourself this. "DO you think you are better than them? Who are you to judge those people? Is that their choice? Just look at your head, you have no hair. Just look at your stomach, you have bladder cancer. Just look at your eyes. You have severe astigmatism. Are you better than them afterall?

This post is created after i have attended church last weekend. There was one statement which sounds like this.

"At times, we are so used to complaint and criticize others for how they have treated us. At times, we are so used to complain and criticize whenever we encounter with a new phase of life, let it be new workplace, new location, new job etc..It's in our veins to complain to whichever think uncomfortable to us. Here, let it be known. Just bear with it, things happen for a reason. You just need to stay on track, always think positively and as long as you persist in your values and beliefs, you will get what you want someday."
(i forgot the statement d, will edit it again later)

Hence, stop criticizing, and start appreciating things/ people around you.

Friend or Enemy

People nowadays, are very sensitive towards their surrounding. They could turn their back towards their close ones, or even their family for their so-called " pride and dignity".

How many of us prefer to be-friended our ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend? How many of us prefer to be-friended our enemy? How many of us prefer to be-friended with someone who betrayed us?

These are the most common cases in today's world. Let me start off with the most common scenario....

Ex-Boyfriend VS Ex-Girlfriend

A pair of bird-loving angels have broken up due to some god-knows reasons .....

the guy has an affair with others, the girl has no attention...
the guy has no freedom, the girl has no sweet talks...
the guy has no money, the girl has no clothes...
the guy broke his promise, the girl was abandoned...
the guy lied, the girl flirted...
the guy broke up, the girl pissed out...
the girl broke up, the guy cheer up...

I used to know a couple who used to be very loving, and used to promise each other that they will give whatever it takes just to maintain their relationship. After time passed by, they realised each other are not suitable for each other, so broke up. Guess what? Both do not talk to each other for years, and treat each other as enemy. Why? the guy blamed the girl to be so boring, not wiling to give in, flirts....the girl blamed the guy to be so NO LIFE, no surprises, stingy, nvr dare to disclose their relationship and stuffs...
Yes, girls like their guy to ANNOUNCE their relationship, and if the guy prefer to be low-profiled, girls usually feel uncontented, and there must be something to hide behind all these...

Back to the topic...since both agreed to go different ways, why cant they just be friend back? Forget the past, and go on!!

There was another friend of mine, she was left by his BF after few years of relationship. The guy provided her with cash, pleasures and also loves. But, that lasted for only few years. After living in her wonderland, she then noticed the guy actually kept another GF without her knowledge...Yes, i agree the guy was wrong, and so what? We have our rights to choose whom to be with.. and how we want it to be... The only mistake the guy did was, he did not tell her frankly how he felt...
Of course, we will surely expect them to be the WORST-EVER-ENEMY ever lived on this earth!! It turned out that they are good friend now, and she mixes well with his current GF as well..this is what we call Sporting? Stupid? Open-Minded? Mature? Responsible? i will let you to decide...
there are still a lot of stories behind, but i m not sure of it though...

Enemy VS Enemy

Some people are born with enemies around them.. not excluding myself for sure. Well, in case you do not understand the meaning of Enemy, open up Google, go to some dictionary website, and check it for yourself. We will have the kind of feeling to revenge, having high level of Testosteron of putting the opposite to Hell...

In my humble thoughts, i seriously think that Enemy could be friend anymore, i mean, maybe can be friend, but not close/ good friend after all of those past...right?

However, i would prefer to reduce the number of enemy and increase the number of friends...don't we? What's the point of having enemies while it will only make you suffer? You have to spend time to avoid him, spend time to curse/scold him, spend your energy to reflect towards his provocation?

Can you imagine how nice could it be if, for once, you could think of how good he is, and how nice if he is your friend? Just lay low, and say HI..or maybe How are you? or..Shall we have a drink??(not to fight or smth)...well..just to let those people who hates me...let bygone be bygone, and let's be friend again..alright?

Trushful VS Betrayers

Haha..this is the worst case..i hate this the most...i cant forgive someone who betrayed me...yea...no matter what he do..i wont forgive him...How could you betray your own friend?
Most people find it hard to forgive someone who had turned his back against them. I strongly agree, because sometimes i find it hard either to forgive a friends who have back-stabbed you...
I do not have any comment on this though..but, if it happens to me, i will try my best to let it go..saying is easy, but action takes a lot of courage and determination..i believe i am categorized in the strong and consistent group of people. :)


No matter how much someone who had hurt you, or someone you hurt, just try our best to live our life to the fullest...never let the past drags you, we should maintain our pace, living happily with what we have now.

When we dislike bush, there are NO BUSH GIRLS
WHen we dislike enemies, there are NO ENEMIES WORLD

" I LOVE YOU, MY FRIENDS!!"
Sorry if this blog offended you...
