Hari Raya Haji~

It's a wonderful day where I get to broadcast early in the morning (well my early in the morning is referring to 12am onwards).
2 hours of broadcast~ Opened a topic to discuss on giving brings more happiness than taking...
Surprisingly a lot of people responded to the topic in cari forum.
It's really nice experience to have many people giving input on this topic.
We have an in-depth discussion on it and due to my tired condition. I off air sharp at 2am.

My appreciation goes to 射射 for his understanding coz i tend to change my broadcast schedule twice :rf:

Thanks to all the listeners~

Halloween

31^st OCT 2008 – Happy Halloween Day!!! Didn’t really celebrate Halloween actually so there are not much Halloween element here other than a pair of “horn” that we have. It’s a hell of a day for me after rushing for 2 appointments on Friday. Don’t feel like blogging about works nowadays~ So let’s cut the story short…

Finish my appointment in KL went straight to look for Jessie and Sara… hoho so not use to address her as SARA… but as usual after a round of calls and sms(s).. I end up having dinner with Jessie at Jaya One. Our initial intentions is to wait for Sara to return home from Bangi but dunno why she went on straight to Curve with Max instead of joining Jessie and me in Jaya One.

Brisik @ Jaya One

It’s a quiet little dinning place with some classical Chinese 60s, 70s music. I like the calm atmosphere in here. They serve Malaysian cuisine (well you know… noodles.. fried rice… snacks etc). Forgive me for not exploring more on the menu part as you can read from above, we didn’t plan to stay long actually. Equipped with Wifi service, it’s an ideal place to hang out during weekend. Going online and chit-chat with friends, that’s what I can imagine myself doing there. Compare to Ha-Lo Café that we went last week, I prefer this place. Perhaps I am getting old or what… I feel like spending more “quality time” in places like this… relaxing… calm… hmmm….
Here are some pictures we took there:

Scarlet @ Mutiara Damansara

It’s been our plan to go for drink on Halloween night! The only question remain is where to? Century VS Scarlet, we end up going to Scarlet. Reach there around ten plus, the place is a bit dull and not so happening~ But it turn lively after 11pm~ where “sheep” started to show up~ There are innocent one and also big one everywhere… kekekeke… Remember there’s this aunty dancing behind us. Gosh~ I know I sound bad but aunty… I really salute you!!! =p Nothing special happen after that… As usual.. we drink drink drink and dance dance dance… the only thing is… Max seems not enjoy that much during that night… perhaps not enough liquor to get him shake his booty off~ wahahahaha or probably he never like to dance… hmm….. I wonder…

Malaysia International Basketball Championship

It has become my routine to blog during working time (weekend job not the weekday one) but it seems that I can’t do that with the unstable wireless connection I experience here in Sri Petaling, a place that I enjoy the least to work at. I’ve been here for two weeks with yesterday an escape to work in Kevin’s show at MABA Stadium. Brought my laptop there but didn’t manage to even take it out because the game is too exciting! It’s the Malaysia International Basketball Championship where six nation teams (not all national team) compete to win the title. I was there to replace Kevin for one day. Basketball has always been my favorite sports even though I didn’t play nowadays. But by watching the game alone gives me tremendous enjoyment.

It is the fourth day of the championship and Malaysia PETRONAS team has won 2 games and lost 1. A surprise wins over the “unbeatable” Singapore Slingers light up Malaysia hope for the title challenge. We defeated Pure-Youth Construction team from Chinese Taipei and lost to India National Team before winning Singapore Slingers with the superb tight score of 93 – 92. It is too bad that I have missed the Malaysian team action on the 3rd day because my teeth is killing me after being “filled” by the dentist on Friday afternoon. I heard the crowd was amazing on the 3rd day evening with many of them cheering for Malaysia PETRONAS.

The fourth day of the championship, the day I worked there. Malaysia PETRONAS defeated Hong Kong China National Team (I heard there are only 3 first squad player are in the team). It wasn’t really a good match because I personally think that Malaysia didn’t play well and they nearly got themselves pay for the price during the last quarter of the game. I am not sure if it is because of our players’ mind-set because Hong Kong China is the only team that has not strike any win so far. Never look down to your enemy. I thought we have learnt the lesson when India strike back and win over Malaysia team during the previous game. But apparently I am wrong.

Overall it’s been a wonderful day working in Stadium MABA. Getting pay and get to watch my favorite sports game at the same time really thrilled me. But as for now, I am still in Endah Parade aiming at the clock. By the way, the wireless here is unstable so I am not sure when will this post be up on my blog but up to present, it’s 7:43pm, Sunday 7th September 2008 while I finish blogging this post. Tomorrow is gonna be another working day! Cheer up~ (that’s for myself)

Bubai ppl~

UTAR CONVO AUG 08

Stepping on to the stage of Wisma MCA to receive my scroll from the GOH marks an end to my journey in UTAR. Flip back to my previous post in MSN LIVE Blog, I could still recall how depress I was when I first got into UTAR. The pictures are as clear as it had just happened yesterday. Then I realize how fast time has passes by. Well, I might be the depress Kent when I entered UTAR but I must say that the Kent who step out from UTAR is proud to declare it loudly that I am a UTAR graduate. As usual, those who are familiar with me, you might have heard this story before but bare with me for writing it into a long-winded essay because I do wish to leave a mark of it when my memory is still fresh and that spirit of UTAR is still flaming hot burning.

3 years ago when I was not admitted into my preferred public university, I have chose to came to UTAR as it is one of the alternative choices to have for a student who do not wish to put too much burden on my family. Well of course there are other reasons but that truly is one big factor that put me in to UTAR which I believe like many others do. I came to UTAR all by myself with most of my secondary school friends entered into different public or private institutions. Struggle to find my way to survive in the university life as I was in the express July intake with the other 700 plus students. I still remember there were once a say that those who got in thru July intake are mostly the STPM “refugees”. Being one of the “refugees”, our impression towards UTAR has further drop when there is no orientation programs like ice-breaking, talent-time or any other kind of activities organized for us. Perhaps STPM “refugees” like us do not deserve the same treatment, which was the thought that played in my mind at that time. Luckily, there is still someone out there who is crazy enough to initiate something for ourselves at that time. Life in UTAR has then changed or I suppose it didn’t change but started in another way that I never thought it will be. Together with a group of event maniac, we’ve gone thru many high and low. Face numerous rejections, challenges, defeat, and success in university event organizing.

Contesting in the student election is another big step to take while studying in UTAR. Being one of the “opposition” in the Student Representative Committee meeting, I have too many unanswered questions. Thus, I have decided to step up to source for answers to my and many other students’ queries. Getting involved in student election is equivalent of engaging yourself into another smaller frame of political world. The people you meet, the people you have to answer to, and the people you have to deal with are all like examiners that give you various test. Do I pass all of that? I don’t think so but I must say I have tried my very best to attempt each and every one of it and I guess I will just let god do the judging part. People often say that one should always expect the best and prepare for the worse. Somehow, I am not well prepared for the worse during my time in UTAR. There were once I thought things will never go worse than that but it does eventually. Without any warning, sometimes hassle can just hit you like a storm. That is what happens to me when my tenure of service in the council is ending. I am grateful and thank god for sending friends that give me all the supports and caring I needed the most at that time.

In life, there are always choices that we have to make. No exception in my case. Making choices means trade-off to me. In another word, it simply means you have to let go something to gain something else. Prioritization is never my strong skill, I always have problem in doing that. I am always the greedy one that hope to get everything and when the time really comes to make a decision, I let my soul speaks for me. Whichever way that my heart prefers most, that’s the way I’ll go. So I guess the follow your heart/instinct is what exactly I am practicing all the while. Like I mentioned earlier, being a greedy person I do tried to search for opportunity cost that I have chosen to left behind some time ago but unfortunately, it doesn’t seems to be the same again. People who know me long enough you might just know what I am referring to but let’s just keep it between us. Studying in UTAR for 3 years also taught me an important lesson. I always wanted to live back in time in the past, but without realizing actually how much fun and excitement that lies ahead are waiting for me. So this is what I have learnt, we should always look forward not backward. Let’s hope and welcome the better tomorrow. Shall we? ;)

Beijing 2008 The 29th Olympic

One World One Dream

Exclusive Summer Olympics news & widgets at NBC Olympics.com!

Yeap, blogging during working time (DJ) seems to be another habits of mine nowadays. Well, I just hope that my boss don't read my blog otherwise he will be not so happy with it.

Another week full of excitement both on my job and also the current hot topics in town. It's none other than our country current political situation. Former DPM contesting in the by-election to step in to the parliament, being accused for sodomizing and quite likely to be prosecuted in court. It's like a drama now that we Malaysian are watching. Interesting huh?

Not gonna go further to the political issues, guess I am just gonna drop that although I do have some opinion on issues like MCA party election, the DPM case like I mentioned earlier but there are something bigger here I want to tell!! YES PEOPLE!! IT's MY CONVOCATION ON THE 23 AUGUST 2008!(I know I wrote it in the previous post but just in-case you have forgotten I am gonna start mentioning it in every post this month! akekekekekekekekeekekeke) Call yourself my buddy, please make it to my convo at 8.30am (prefer to come earlier to take pic ^^) at Dewan San Choon, Wisma　MCA, JLN AMPANG. Really hope to see you all especially all my colleague that sweat with me last time when we were in UNI, those who are close pals when we were in SABs, Malurianz that walk together with me even before I know how to run (sound awkward huh? ok dun care la.. you all know what I meant)!

I am DJ for TOMEI in One Utama now. Gonna be here for two consecutive weekends. Quite long hours but considering my current financial status, the offer seems to be too good to turn down. Taken some pictures here but it seems to be more or less the same like the previous Bukit Raja fair pic as you can see hehe. There is a better mixer and veli de Geng Cao player here. It's the Pioneer CMX-3000. Not gonna elaborate more on that, just see through the picute yourself la! I am fully booked this month for DJ jobs but guess I will have to turn down some of them because I really hope I could attend my buddies convo in the last 2 weeks of August.

There is a says if you fail to plan you plan to fail! That is a common phrase in Management paper that we took last time. Judging at my current situation, holding a degree in Accounting, working as a Key Acc Executive who perform marketing function and free-lance mobile DJ on weekend. It seems like none of these is in my plan. Well, to be honest even the Accounting degree is not in my plan earlier on. Believe it or not my philosophy in life seems to be more like if you fail to plan, you must fully utilize what you have now and try to turn the negative to positive. Well, it doesn't mean that I don't plan at all, I do but sometime or perhaps I should say most of the time life just don't turn out like what you've plan. So I remember there is a friend of mine who tell me this, it's either you gonna live with it, fight it or you life got screwed by going circle round and round over it. I guess I have pick the mixture of living with it and fight it. How about you?

I realize I tend to blog hair wired nowadays. I don't really blog on a specific topic if you realize it seems like I am blogging as in I am talking to someone.. hmmm guess that is a more comfortable way to blog for me. That simply means don't ask me about my post title. After all, who says that a post or even a blog need to have its name? Guess that's about it this round. Might be blogging again really really soon. For those who are waiting for the chinese version updates, my little apology here for the delay but it will be up real real soon. Okay, till then see ya all. Have a nice day!

Pavilion-SBUX-BATMAN II

Alright, let’s continue with what I’ve left over. My little peaceful moment at SBUX only last about half an hour before my friends reach Pavilion and hey guess what, we still have time to go for our sushi dinner at Ichiban-Bonshi. Friends who hang out with me know that is one of my favorite places to dine in whenever I am in Pavilion. A rather rushing dinner we had there. Taken a chicken teriyaki set while my friends still have time to enjoy their sizzling hot beef plate. Nothing much to blog about the meal cause the food is nice as always, and we are eating in lighting speed so that we won’t miss the beginning excitement of the movie.

We got in to the cinema 5 minutes before the show start, so still have time for us to drop whatever things that we wish not to hold on for two and a half hours inside the cinema. Well, just in-case you didn’t read my last brief post, I am watching Batman, The Dark Knight. Sitting at 2^nd row from the screen (that’s the most “frontier” seats I ever bought using Online Banking system with GSC, so imagine, how people are hunger for BATMAN) didn’t really affect our mood or I should say comfort in watching the show. Don’t really feel like writing the whole review of the story here because I bet you need to watch this movie for yourself (save my time to recall back the sequence, plot, synopsis and etc. hehehe)! If 100 marks is the max I’ll give this movie 85!

If I have to pick my favorite character in this show, I think most of the audience will pick the same character as I do, yeah none other than the guy who ask this question: “why so serious?”! Mr Joker, at one point I didn’t really have high expectation to this bad guy, as you all know we have seen a bad joker before but this psychic joker will really blow you away. This is unlike any other comic movie that you watch, Batman The Dark Knight is not simply on the hero/heroin action but deep inside there are values and morality messages which the movie try to send to its’ audience and the most important part is it is not boring! So people, if you are still wondering what to do this weekend please make watching this movie one of your choices because it really worth it!

The time is 8:32am in the morning, guess I’ll have to start work! Whoever that is reading this post, I wish you all a very good day~ till then… TATA

Pavilion-SBUX-BATMAN I

It's another day! The clock is showing at 7:20 approximately and here I am blogging from a public place again. It seems like going to cafe to work, online and blog has become one of my recent like.

Unlike yesterday, today is nothing official. I am not seeing the client but waiting for my friends to have dinner ( I suppose now we'll only be on time to have supper later) and watch BATMAN, The Dark Knights in Pavilion KL. Wonder why will a guy that rush from Subang Jaya to KL town reach earlier than those who stay probably less than 15km away from here. Loitering around the mall tempted me to go Starbucks.

So people here I am.... Opss... my friend calling... probably still on time for dinner~
I'll post up the review for Batman next time then and some pictures I took just now.

(To be continued...)

My first own client appointment

Blogging this from Wisma Selangor Dredging, KL. Attending my first own client appointment here for more towards a service recovery action. The meeting with client is good. Together with Emma, I suppose we create couple of potential in-house training business opportunities with the client.

Finish meeting the client, Emma and I thought of continue working in a place that offer us internet connection and Yeah~ we spotted Coffee Bean here. I guess boss won't be angry at us taking a little moment for breakfast before resume back to work (eventually blog as well =p).
Gotta play basketball with Fish and his ex-colleague later. Just hope that I can still run hehehe

Life is getting busier and busier nowadays! People, I have 4 shows in this coming weekend and also in the first week of august. I am looking for DJ (preferably those with experienced) for road show in One-U and Mid Valley, the pay is roughly 180 - 200 bucks depends on experience. If anyone know Mall/Roadshow DJ that can broadcast in English, please give me a call and send me an email at skchan85@gmail.com

I am now caught in the midst of work plus rain in Wisma Selangor Dredging and my colleague Emma is so hardworking doing budget work. Guess I should get back to work too. So.. till then...

Working Life

I am blogging this post on a beautiful Saturday at Aeon Bukit Raja Klang. People you might be wondering what this Kent is doing here in Bkt. Raja. Yeah, I am working here man as free-lance DJ once again. It’s gonna be the second week of working 7 days a week non-stop since I join Comfori last TUE which is the 1st of July.

It’s been a happy journey so far since I step in to the working field either as the DJ or the Key Account Executive. I must say I am still in the learning process of becoming one of the top people in both fields that I am venturing into. I’ve got a text message from Max yesterday, glad to find out that he is happy with Marcus Evan even though we are now rivals. Well, guess it won’t be much of competition between us as I am riding on a “sampan” while he is on the star cruise now as according to Thomas. In short, our target business line is different yet I still believe I have make a right decision to come in to Comfori though that it was not supported by most of my family members.

I personally believe there are values and process that I can learn in Comfori especially when I am able to get myself to involve in the whole cycle of generating revenue for the company. It will be something “priceless” to me. There are people who ask me why not join AMEX or any other MNC, well I guess I have answered their question.

Life is busy nowadays and yet it’s lively to me. Working 7 days a week might be hectic for some people but for me it depends on your perception. To me, being DJ in weekend is just like another form of entertainment. So having fun and earning income at the same time is what I think about working during weekend now and I am enjoying it. But of course it will be provided that you are still single and available like me then only you can do so. Otherwise I bet the girl friend is gonna run away very soon. Hehe.

Last but not least, people my convocation is on the 23rd August 2008! To my buddies, I personally hope that you all can join me on that day. The session is gonna start at 8.30am if I am not mistaken. To THOMAS, PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT ANY FORM OF BANNER OR BUNTING IS PROHIBITED!!!

Got to get back to broadcast now. Till then, I shall meet everyone during my CONVO or perhaps if you want to meet up with me just give me a ring!

Tata!

Entering into another Phase of mylife

Well, I guess another chapter of my life has just started yesterday. Yeah, I have started to work. Work as in permanant job not the free-lance DJ thingy, not the part-time temporary job but a full time job. I have struggle for quite some time before make up my mind to come to this company to begin with another phase of my life. Reasons being the location wise, the company struture wise, the field that I am venturing into, and also last but not least the return and cost of the job.

Today is the second day I work in this company. People here are nice and friendly, my boss seems to be quite a fun person to work with so far. So to all my friends who are concern of me, I am doing fine here and I wish you all every success in your life too. Not gonna share much about the job here cause I haven't really start working this two days. Well, you know it's because of the orientation thingy. Got my laptop today, and it's a new one! ^^ So I bet that tomorrow I will start to work on field. Wish me luck people.

Tired here, have to wake up quite early to get to work. Not so use to it but I think I'll be ok with it soon. After all, healthy lifestyle seems to be what I needed too!

Mark & Brenda ROM 25/06/08

The sky was blue, the sun was bright, a windy day with many smiling faces that came to JPN Putrajaya. We were all there for one reason and yes it’s a joyful one. The Registration of Marriage between Mark and Brenda, my brother in law and my beloved eldest sister.

With the magnificent view of Putrajaya, suddenly the scene of the ROM turn into somehow a little fairytales. I affirmatively hold that stand after the remarkable jobs done by Robin, our photographer of the day. A proverb says seeing is believing, so let’s take a look at some of the preview pictures of Mark & Brenda ROM on 26/06/08 taken by Robin. (Credit goes to Robinng.com)

Musical Nite 08'

It seems like I had abandon my blog page for more than 2 months. My apology for not being able to post within this few months and as I had promise previously, I am gonna write a full page of Musical Nite 08’ the last event that I emcee in UTAR previously (No longer valid after I did another Emcee as an Alumni for MMLM Talk by Ms Lily Soh in UTAR CEE recently).

Let’s get back to Musical Nite 08’, first of all a million thank goes to the organizing team for inviting me to become their emcee for the event and bringing another fun and pretty partner to me which is Ms Evelyn (I hope I got your English name spelling right :p) .

It’s been fun working with all of you and I must say that Evelyn extraordinary “sporting” attitude surprise me. :p Well, most probably it is because of the first impression I had towards Ms Evelyn during Wushu Nite is that she is a more formal type emcee that speak fluent English with proper grammar and nouns which I don’t as you can see thru this post.

There are quite a number of new friends I met during the night particularly juniors… to name a few, there are Chloe who speak mandarin like a newsreader; Henry who is my nearby housing estate neighbor; Min Shun who sing Jay Chou song that seems to become our “national anthem” for a few months; Jian Lang who is my classmate plus the bass guitarist… Forgive me if I didn’t mention your name here cause there are too many interesting people I have met in the night.

I am busying shopping for furniture at the moment cause in less than 1 month time I will be shifting in to a new home in Bukit Manda’rina (next to TMN Cannaught). I suppose that a BBQ session will be held by the month of August. Hope to see you all by then!

By the way, before I say good bye… It’s my eldest sister Brenda and my Brother-in-law Mark Registration of Marriage day yesterday! Wish them happily ever after and gonna post some pictures of that day soon! (Don’t worry, I will resume my post quite frequent now… no more 2 months waiting before the next post!)

Combo Post: Convo, E-Radio, Class Gathering...

It’s has been approximately two busy weeks before I last posted anything here. Couple of things happened in this two weeks. I happen to attend both Convocation session on 29 and 30 April 2008, started my own e-radio, went for a class gathering at Milwaukee Steak House (hope I got the spelling right =p), and hosted Musical Nite 08’ for the second time.

Convocation

As usual, the convocation was held in Dewan San Choon, Wisma MCA for the university’s “sentimental” purpose. There are more than 1500 graduates attended the convocation to receive their scroll from YB Datuk Ong Tee Kiet and YB Datuk Ng Yen Yen. Compare to the previous convocation that I have attended; this year convocation seems not so well organized with a few protocol and technical problems here and there. I have seen Sara, Eddie, Nicholas, Janet, Sean, and many other familiar faces receive their scroll during both of the session. Congratulation to them and I wish them all the best in their future. It will not be long before I will be wearing that rob and line up to wait for my turn to take the scroll. Hopefully it will happen by the month of August.

E-Radio

My latest “hobby” is to go ON AIR every Friday night 11pm – midnight (sometimes 4am). I have just acquired the “technology” to start my own e-radio about two weeks ago. The first time I go ON AIR, is the exact same day where I’ve just learn how to broadcast it real-time through the internet. It’s fun to broadcast and become an internet Radio DJ. This is because unlike the commercial DJ/freelance DJ that I have been working as, you get to decide the content of your own program. But for those who are interested in starting one e-radio on your own, my advise is the risk is on your own because I am totally addicted to it now! =p

Class Gathering

It all happens on last TUE where all our classmates in BAC Y3 S3 Tutorial Group 11 attended. I meant ALL of them!!! It was held at Milwaukee Steak House in Balakong, Cheras. The organizer is our “beloved” class representative Hoong Chin. A big TQ to him for his effort in bringing all of us together for perhaps one last time other than the final exam that we are going to sit for. I doubted if we could have “full attendance” for any other leisure purpose together. Well you know, it’s not easy to get 27 adults together nowadays

Guess I wouldn’t write anything about Musical Nite™ here because I will need one whole post to blog about it. A lot of interesting stuff happened during and before that night. It’s my last event in UTAR! Those who doubted it please don’t because it’s week 13 now and for sure this will be the one last time I emcee in UTAR! Okay, that post will pop up soon with some pictures I took on that night. Till then tata..

FAM Social Nite 08’

FAM Social Nite 08’ is the last ball night for me, my classmates, and many other final year students in FAM. Held in Palace of Golden Horse Hotel, FAM “Social” Nite is a result of merger form by the initial FAM Nite and Social Nite 08’. Before we go through the program, allow me to comment on the initial purpose of both events. Based on my limited understanding, the initial purpose of FAM Nite is to create opportunity for students to interact with the alumni and also among themselves. In short, it’s a scale down UTAR Ball Nite that only opens to FAM students and alumni. On the other hand, Social Nite aims at inviting corporate personnel to participate in the event thus allow students to meet up and interact with them. However, I have seen none of the corporate personnel present at the scene. Therefore it leaves me with a big question mark on whether FAM “Social” Nite is a combination of both event or the merger of both events has turn into an acquisition indeed. Nevertheless, I would still like to congratulate the organizing team for the success of the event. I understand that there are complains about foods, emcee, and program transition on that night but trust me by having experience in attending both UTAR Ball 2006 and UTAR Ball 2005 simply means you will appreciate FAM Social Nite more. This is because comparing FAM Social Nite with the previous UTAR Ball, you will find that FAM Social Nite deserves a thumb up for their arrangement in term of the overall programs that really suits the taste of our students. Programs such as the live band, a Capella singing, Bani’s video, and the oldies plus ball room dancing dance floor add credits to the organizing team. Some might argue that the program is not rich, but honestly speaking, I believe most of the participants don’t really wish to see a circus performing on stage. What we, the participants really want is just a decent moment of getting together, take some pictures, chit-chat a bit while having some entertainment show and I bet the program organized in FAM Social Nite is just nice for most of us. You wouldn’t believe me if I tell you that the first UTAR Ball actually has Motorola DJs playing songs like “Smack That” all over the night. Try to paint the pictures that people actually dance as in clubbing with their decent gown and tux. UTAR Ball 07’ dance floor is not much differ than the previous one but the F&B is certainly better compare to both UTAR Ball 06’ and FAM Social Nite 08’. But people having petrol price rising to RM 1.92 and the current inflation rate, my fellow faculty mates in FAM, you really can’t expect much from the food serve in a 5 Stars hotel in Klang Valley with the price of RM880 per table unless you daddy is the owner of the hotel. Nevertheless, there are rooms for improvement if FAM is to organize another gala dinner in the future which is why I only give them one thumb up instead of two.
