Just 1 Hour

As the saying goes, "an apple a day, keeps the doctor away". How true it is, i don't really know as apple does not contain all the essential nutrients we need. But I definitely know that an hour of lights-off for tomorrow would be propelling the better good for our mother earth.

This activity is actually previously originated from Australia. Australia,for many many years ago, has already been known as the biggest victim of climate change. If you are a follower of environmental issues, you should be aware that the biggest leak of direct UV light, unfortunately falls on Australia. With that, the rate of cancer sufferers in Australia has been increased by leaps and bounds since numerous years ago.

Sydney was the first place ever to implement such significant event, it is the forefather of 60 Earth Hour. After getting virtual standing ovation internationally, many other countries follow the good deed, as an act to fight climate change.

Recently,the number of rainy days in Malaysia is somehow unpredictable. Ever since before Chinese New Year, heavy downpour has been seen all over the places in this country. Sudden flood happened throughout certain regions. Apart from that, a big chunk of ice reported has been melted not long ago, no thanks to ignorant human beings.

We might have one hundred thousand reasons not to turn off the light, but we do not one one hundred thousand earths to sustain the negative aftermath; we have only one reason to do the deed tomorrow, that is,

to save our one and only earth.


There are many activities in town which would be carried out as a response to this grand event. For avid shoppers, Suria KLCC will reward the first 100 shoppers brewed coffees. But well, the complex will turn off unnecessary lights, including decorative facade lights.

The magnificent lion of Sunway Pyramid will also take a good rest to not shine upon the town, in addition to that, students from Sunway University College will belt out the song "We Are The World" as a reminder to the whole nation.

One of the private universities, UCSI, will hold a live band performance during the moments, and hosting a free dodge ball game, in which it relates in climate change prevention somehow.

Mid Valley, being one of the biggest hang-out area in town, is going to turn off all non-essential lights, including the lights which are usually seen around the hotel areas.

Medias such as certain TV channels, radio stations, will all response to the mother earth in accord. They will, too turn off the lights, and be Good Samaritans to the nature.

WHAT ABOUT YOU? LET US :

Conan Look-A-Like?

There was a day when I tidied a bit up on the bookshelf upstairs, and by accident, I discovered several reading materials which I found full of immense nostalgic feelings.

Yup, you've probably guess it, Detective Conan (or Case Closed in many European countries)



Without me knowing it, I've forgotten everything about this comic before I noticed their existence in the shelf. To me, these are no ordinary comics, but also comics which are suitable for every adult. Complicated plots & mind teasers galore can be found if you follow its exclusive stories.

When I found these books, they actually triggered another piece of missing link in me... I suddenly recalled that many people had once telling me that I look a lot (my appearance, facial one) like Detective Conan (in which it basically means that my face is like a piece of caricature, or you could call it cartoonic), I do not know is that an appropriate statement for me to laugh about it or to cry over it because I actually look like a cartoon character... What do you think?

Monster : A Natural Rapist

10:26 AM Edit This 1 Comment »
Have you ever heard of a person referred to himself as a natural rapist?

You probably did, if you followed the news last year, the unforgivable incest case which Josef Fritzl had committed. He locked his daughter, Elizabeth in the basement for 24 years, and raping her repeatedly, made her a sex slave without any human conscious. And the most outrageous statement of all, he claimed that he was born to rape.


The above photo shows Elizabeth (left), daughter of Josef Fritzl, and the demonic human, Josef Friztl (Right), The lower left shows the tiny little area which Friztl had built as part of the basement.

(For those who aren't aware of this piece of news...) It was even more shocking when I came across the news last year that Elizabeth had even bore 7 children in the basement, one of whom died ever since he(she?) was born. The demonic creature hid all these away from his wife by telling her that their daughter had joined some mysterious cult somewhere out there.

When someone had finally learned the underground incident, thanks to the intelligence of Elizabeth, who inserted a secretive note in one of her daughter, 19 year-old Kerstin. Kerstin was once severely ill and Fritzl took her to a local hospital for a check-up, but the monster did not realize that there was no birth record of Kerstin or whatsoever, and fortunately, the hospital officers found the S.O.S note written by Elizabeth. Eventually, Friztl got arrested, Elizabeth and 6 other children were released from the hands of the evilest dad in the world.

But they, especially those 6 children who grew up in the basement for their entire life before they were released, were described to have behaved like weird creatures, not human. They were afraid of the lights, they did not know what is happening out there, everything seems to be so unfamiliar... They seemed to be no longer acquire the ability to live like a normal human.


The above picture shows Josef Fritzl, having fun at the beach. He traveled a lot, and was quite successful in his business, but little did the people around him know that, he is such a mysterious monster lurking in the dark.

In Monster, written by Allan Hall (ohh.. I almost bought that book in the book store days ago, but I have got no money... T.T) , a book which reveals the whole process from how he lived when he was young, how Friztl's evil-doings were discovered, up to the controversial court case, revealed that Friztl often traveled overseas, but always without the companion of any family members, he went everywhere as a lone ranger. I personally am disgusted when I saw pictures of him traveling to various places, he smiled so broadly, just like a normal person. I was so-o-o-o-o-o-o irritated by his devilish smile, till I wanted to puke in the book store.



After Friztl was under custody, it was finally announced that Friztl will spend his entire life in a medical center for psycho criminals. And if God allow him to recover from his so-called mental illness (Born to rape?? Tsk tsk tsk...), he will be imprisoned for the rest of his life behind bars.

Residential Care

Days ago, my sister had gone to her much awaited National Service (which unfortunately, she fell sick on her first day), and the other younger sister of mine is back to school again from her spoiled and slacked break, whereas we, going to work for the sake of money, as usual. So who is there left to look after the little big baby?

People said that the elders would somehow transform into a 3 year-old gradually, that is somewhat true. I would love to add something more on that statement, they actually will definitely keep pace with their transformation, after their transformations into 3 year-olds, they will soon transform into infants, and eventually, some say, are going back to the mothers' wombs.

Yes, my grandmother is experiencing this transformation, no doubt about it. She needs the attention of other family members, she needs individuals who care about her, although her mind is no longer conveying such message to herself, but one thing for sure, that's what she essentially needs.

Without any choices left for us, for we were afraid of how she would mess things up in the house without anyone eyes on her... So we forced to implement our last resort, by sending her to a residential care center.

I've visited the place yesterday. I was succumbed to gloomy moods. Several old folks broke my heart. One of them was sitting on a chair, with no facial expression on his face, the only thing we could observed was his saliva, which kept dripping off from his wrinkled mouth. It was certainly heart-aching to see such scene.

Other than that, we were informed that a lady (mere 52 years old), was driving everyone else in the house so madly that many people could not stand her. 52 years old, that was relatively so much younger than the rest of them! Some were sitting still, stared blankly into the sky, some, gazed at us, emotionlessly.

I just hope that this 3 months will pass sooner, so that we could get my grandmother back into the house, with at least a person look after her, just like during the old gay days.

Family Tree Complexion

My grandfather-in law's brother (how should i call that in English? Granduncle-in law maybe? It's 叔公 in mandarin by the way) and his daughter, who happen to live in Hong Kong all this while, are coming to Malaysia for a visit very soon.

I could still reminisces how his daughter looked like. She looked a bit chubby, and she was a really caring person back then. When I visited Hong Kong many many years ago, she was the one who really took good care of me. Knowing that I was a kid who into gaming very much, she often lend me her Gameboy (oh, I miss that), and I indulged into it right after grabbing the gaming console from her.

I was about 9 years old then, I guess? Well... she was... still studying... just enrolled into a what we called 'secondary school' in Hong Kong. Thus, the difference as far as age is concerned, is just around 5 years, and that is the most it could go, i am sure about that.

So, all along, I called her "sister (姐姐)", so to show that I'm being respectful. Without noticing it, the truth is, she is actually one of my aunts! Another terrible point to ponder is that, she is actually my mother's cousin sister? How weird is that?

Recently, I was referring my grand-uncle-in-law's-daughter as "sister". My mother immediately corrected me by claiming that I should call her aunt instead of sister; for she is, well... actually my mother's cousin sister.

Things become even more complicated when you translate all these troublesome callings into Mandarin, sometimes you could get an endless noun which bugs you to an extent that you wouldn't want to call that person ever again, especially in front of the elders.

If I were to call her sister, it would appear that I being disrespectful to the other relatives (ahem, in traditional ways... my mother seems to be a pro-traditional individual), on the other hand, if I were to call her aunt, it would appear that I being disrespectful to her as she is not as old as she seems to be.

Perhaps I will call her that after she got married and has kids on her own? Guess not, when a certain noun has been used frequently in reference to someone, it is somehow almost impossible to alter. I think I will just greet her in an atypical way, such as,

"Yo, welcome to Malaysia!"

Panoramic Views

Speaking of the amount of money accumulated in that account, we recently utilized it so wisely on a wonderful trip.

During the passed weekend, four cars started their engines wildly at 3.30am, departing to our destination, Kuantan.

Before deciding on the destination, neat surveys have been made. Since I've visited Kuantan several times then, my mind started to alert me with discouraging statements before the trip, such as, "it will not make any differences with your previous visitations." But the real thing proved that I was wrong.

This time, we went to Sungai Lembing, with strong desire burning in our hearts, we swore to conquer Mount Panorama (林明山).

According to the information we obtained first hand, there is an awesome spot in Mount Panorama which is worth to explore. It is said that there is a legendary Rainbow Waterfall located at the peak of this part of the mount.

From 5 something in the morning onwards, after walloping our brief breakfast, filled with excitement, we marched towards our first spot of the day, Rainbow Waterfall. With two gigantic vehicles (they are mere trucks, actually), and off we go!


Throughout the rocky journey on the trucks, we were as though given a free service of whole body massage, those rocks and obstructive objects on the ground simply couldn't stop the trucks from vibrating. When the trucks went deep into the hide, situations became even more adventurous, the arms of certain plants were extended, thus long and thorny stems were blocking our way. To clear our path, drivers chopped down the obstructions mercilessly.

Guess what? Elephant dunk is in the house!

After an hour of journey, we arrived at the trekking site eventually. Since leeches are vehement creatures (according to a few aunties, that is), it scared some of us to a great extent. (The above picture shows almost everyone of us joined in the repellent-splashing fiesta, but it makes no sense doing this though, since we were soon to immerse ourselves into the water)

And so, jungle-trekking, off we go!

After approximately an hour of walking, the faint-hearted ones sometimes jumped here and there, claiming that the scary leeches had already made them blood-sucking hosts. Out of the blue, you could hear someone screaming in agony once in a while, only to hear someone giggling soon after all the screamings. The above picture shows how bold my dad was. That was actually a picture where a starving leech sticking onto my dad's foot. Can't see anything? Click on the thumbnail for a larger view!

Okay, here it is, the so-called legendary Rainbow Waterfall. The uniqueness of this scenery, if you could observe, is the existence of the magnificent rainbow, shining gracefully across the tranquilizing moisture of the beautiful waterfall. Every step we took was well worth. However, this panoramic view can only be seen during a certain period of time. It can be clearly seen where it hanging high up in the sky from approximately 8am to 10.30am. Moments later than that, the appealing rainbow would sink into the water. So be sure that you reach there on time.

We were in awe with the great creation by the Almighty One, overjoyed with unsustainable feelings and posed funnily for photo-snapping.

Symbolic Friendship

11:22 PM Edit This 2 Comments »


Many people out there, everyone who knows me, friends or foes, they are all jealous or maybe you should use the word "envy", towards a bunch of ladies, including my mother.

What? Envy? Well, the story goes like this..... During some initial years of studying in a primary school, my mother had made a few magnificent friends (4 of them, to be precise) whom were destined to change the life of my mother.

The bond was so strong that it lasts for a few decades, and still counting. When all of them are married, had kids on their own, they decided to establish an account where every family must commit to splash as much as RM300 into the account every month. All the stored money in that very account is used for family traveling purposes.

Without fail, each family put enormous efforts with dedication, putting in RM300 monthly. Thanks to those parents, me, as a child, am always feel grateful towards what they've been doing. We started traveled (locally) here and there using the accumulated money in the account several years ago. I have to admit that some bunches of besties cannot even commit themselves to such an extent.
