Carpenters-Rainy Days and Mondays



CARPENTERS, a singer who I love very much recently.

Recently there is a song which sang by them that I love so much and would like to share with all of you. Take a few minutes to listen to it. I assure that you will sure like it.

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Hallo Hanoi

Once upon a time, soon after the Việt people established their country, invaders came.

The Jade Emperor sent Mother Dragon and her Child Dragons down to earth to help the Việt people fight against their enemy.

Right at the time invaders' boats were rushing to the shore, the dragons landed down on earth. The dragons immediately sent out from their mouths a lot of pearls, which then turned into thousands of stone islands emerging in the sea like great walls challenging the invaders' boats.
The fast boats couldn't manage to stop and crashed into the islands and into each other and broke into pieces.

After the victory, Mother Dragon and Child Dragons didn't return Heaven but stayed on earth at the place where the battle had occurred. The location Mother Dragon landed is nowadays Hạ Long Bay and where Child Dragons descended is now B Tử Long. The dragons' tails waving the water created Long Vĩ (present Tr?Cổ peninsula) and formed a fine sand beach over ten kilometers long.



The legend of Hạ Long has it that???

Hanoi is another destination that I planed to visit for such a long time.

Finally, I had decided to visit there on September 2008. Hmm... ... feel excited as looking forward to view the multi-shaped rocks, visit the dramatic caves, shop till drop at 36 ancient street, and the most desire activity - to watch water puppet show and drink PURE vietnamese coffee there!

Will update the event later.

Hanoi, don't forget our date on 22 September 2008. See you there.

A Trip to Kajang on 12/8/2008

What is the first thing that come across your mind when talk about kajang???


Yes, exactly, the answer is

Kajang Satay

On 12 August 2008, I was following my sales manager to deliver magazines to our client at Kajang. After that, of course we went to Restoran Haji Samuri to have our "Satay set lunch".

The quality of the Kajang Satay is so much diffrent compare to last time while I was studying at Kajang. (That was xx years ago matter, of course) The taste is not as tasty as last time, the size of the satay also been squeezed... ...

Anyhow, the only thing that still remain unchange is the price of the satay, but, the size of the satay... ...

Is this the effect of price increasing in petrol??



Satay ayam -RM0.60/stick

Satay daging - RM0.60/stick

Satay kambing - RM0.90/stick

When I Am 35... ...

There was one day while I was having dinner with my elderly friend. She suddenly threw out a question to me, “ How old are you now? Have you ever thought that what do you want to achieve when you are 35 years old?”

I sat quietly for few minutes and stared at her wordlessly.

Yes. I really never thought about this. “35” is just at the corner for me. What do I want to get when I am at that age?

She continued, “Son, try to think about it and write it down. After listing down then you must try to achieve it. Review it when you are 35 years old to see how far is your achievement according to the list. Even you can’t achieve all your targets but at least you try before and you will have no regret.”

Yes. She is right. I really have to think about it now to make sure that my entire life will be more meaningful.

How about you guys? Have you all thought about this question before? Would you like to join me by listing down all your targets with me and we review together when we are 35 years old later?
