The last time I celebrated Christmas at KL was 3 years ago, when I was still in diploma. After that…

YS: “aiya, u prof ma… come back = no come back also tried before liao…”

YW: “I think you are no longer from KL, you are officially a JOHORIAN now.”

Vincent: “You come back KL for SHORT HOLIDAY only izit?”

XH: “What makes it so hard for you to go back to your own hometown?”

… etc …

… etc …

… etc …

So this year, I decided to make it in KL. The first station was Solaris, Mont Kiara.

Vincent starting to get red

Getting hotter

Getting even hotter

Red tomato

The Macho man……

…… who failed to escape from judgement

The “double attack” from Vincent

YW who get banged the most… Take 1

Took off sweater… Take 2

Take 3 and more…

Of course, Christmas is never fulfilled without some visual merchandising from various shopping malls.

1. Pavilion, KL

2. Sungai Wang, KL

3. Midvalley, KL

4. The Gardens, KL

End of celebration, and so is year 2009. Getting prepared for the coming 2010.

Imagine one day when science and technology can bring human to explore other planets, interact with other living creatures, discover new resources, but at the same time also requires us to destroy them… what would you do?

This 2 hours and 45 minutes movie is definitely one of the must watch of the year. They’ve done a great job in making all the animations look so natural and real. The main attraction is the scenery, absolutely FANTASTIC !!! Can hardly describe by words…

This movie also pin pointed on human’s greed, which sometimes lead to unreasonable destruction and unnecessary sacrifices. Well, I guess that’s what make us human…

Haven’t watched any movie lately, so decided to get one yesterday.

The story is mainly on China in early 20th century, when Dr Sun Zhong Shan (孫中山), the “Father of Modern China” started to unite the scattered Chinese society and raised a revolution to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, which marked the end of dynasty family in China history. The flow is mainly on the process of revolution, which involve a lot of sacrifices in order to bring a brighter future for the Chinese society.

This is definitely a nice movie for people like me who doesn’t read much about my own history. It shows what people of elder generations have fight and sacrifice in order to bring a better change, a more peaceful world for us and future generations.

5 AM now… gonna zZz…

Since this new blog was setup, I received quite a number of comments and questions from my friends. The most common would be:

1. Wah, you wanna become professional blogger ar?
2. Why pay so much for it when you can get everything for free?
3. Why make your life difficult to not doing what most people do, instead taking the hard way?

The answer to the first question is no, it’s not my plan to be a professional blogger. I mean, c’mon… with my profile, it would take me centuries before reaching “Kenny Sia’s” status.

The answer to the second and third question is quite personal actually. First of all, I don’t believe in free lunch. If I wanna get something done, I’ll have to work for it. If someone gives you something for free, there are always something that you’d have to pay back, or sacrifice…

Besides, humans tend to appreciate something more when that particular thing BURNS THEIR WALLET…

So why take the hard way? Simple, I just wanna have a taste on everything by myself, manage and learn from it. In other words, I wanna take full responsibility on myself.

I do not mean all, but most of us are living in a world of denial. Whenever we get into troubles, there’s certainly something or someone that we can blame of. We can blame our boss for being autocratic, blame lecturers for being irresponsible, blame our friend for betrayal, and so on… By putting the blame, we will have a sense of self being, satisfy, momentarily… but in the process, we have closed up our mind to everything around us, which often result in making decisions that we tend to regret later.

That was one of the moments of truth in my life. I, as like the other team members, blamed participants from other universities for being irrational. We did work hard, so why disqualify us? But from another perspective, we did wrong as well. If we did not, things would not turned against us. We too have the responsibility for everything.

For everything that happened, it happened for a reason. Of course, I can’t be saying that by taking responsibility, I’ll surely become a better man or be successful in future. But if I do not start taking responsibility on myself, then who will?

Life will never change if we do not take actions, and reflect on ourselves.
