Chinese New Year getting not-so-exciting every year. Recently I have a drink with an old friend. He told me that, he started to feel that Chinese New Year is just a longer public holiday. He don’t get the excitement at all.
True. While I was jogging with my mom and wife the other day. My wife and I went to look for a drink, so we stopped by a kedai runcit, without thinking twice, I grab a chair and sat down, start any conversation with the owner, who is a Malay.
He said “Tahun Baru Cina sudah dekat ni, banyak bagi duit lagi kah?“. Then I told him that I don’t know why would Chinese giving pocket money on Chinese New Year. He told me he has no idea too, it is just a simple holiday but people making it complicated. He told me that even Hari Raya started to give “duit raya” also.
Seriously, nothing, I mean nothing in our daily life is not purposely commercialized. Everything is commercialized, even the birthday of Jesus has become the “the big fat red shirt guy coming your house to give your present” day.
So why wouldn’t I devote more time doing something more beneficial than to see things that has been twist for commercial usage???
I have Google reader opened all the time while I’m online, subscribed to a few interesting blogs and sites that I really enjoy.
As a Wordpress theme developer, Digging into WP and CSS Tricks has been a good companion. Digging into WP write a comprehensive WP articles and how-to. However, CSS Tricks included a wide range of topic about online, xHTML and CSS. Smashing Magazine getting too much of useless listing site nowadays, I used to go to Smashing magazine for WP hacks.
Queness has the simplest JQuery tutorials of all time. I do believe that TutPlus is one good website. However, sometimes they have quite a hard to understand tutorials too.
Last but not least, the entertainment – Izismile College humor update too slow, else I would follow them instead
P/S: Due to the slow loading of Twitter feed, I’d edited some function on the theme
Nice movie. As in the art direction, color and overall. The story is so predictable Well, let’s not talk about the movie, let’s talk about the idiot in the cinema we called audiences.
The number one rule in cinema is to switch your phone to silent mode, so everyone can concentrate on the movie instead. While I thought a few times missing would be ok (Yes, I know, I’m kind). However, this guy sitting next few seat from me doesn’t know it at all. Not sure if he has some hearing problem or what. The phone keep ringing, did he even notice that ringing and is time to switch to silent mode?
Where is the civilization here? Everyone has some sort of “free” education here in Malaysia. But the civilize standard never raise. I seriously doubt the town to move forward.
Huuusaaahhh… The more I went out to explore Sibu the more piss I’m getting this few days… Logging in www.phisoderm.org to get some help, else looking damn old. Huuusaaahhh…
She said “Look at yourself, you’re only 26 and looks like 36. Sleeping hour getting worst. Even if you’re a boss, no one would want to come near you for your lazy lifestyle like this.”
She is right, but the whole freaking World is full of Satan. The evil like television, Internet, computer and etc are all around my life. But one thing for sure is, I need the best wrinkle creams for the rest of my day.
Sometimes I do wanted to become emotionless. Emotion is one of the scariest thing on earth I know. Especially if it is “mad”.
My idea about emotions is simple – Surrounding that matters.
Whatever emotion I have now is the result of the surrounding I am with. Human being is just some meat with an intelligent spirit, nothing more nothing less.
Just because my spirit is too intelligent, it started to get wild and goes beyond what it can control. However, if it can control, the whole lifespan will be short and colourless, there won’t be any story next.
Still, take control a little bit on the emotion can always be helpful… Hoosahhhh…
