A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of an airport.
As she would need to wait many hours, she decided to buy a book to spend her time. She also bought a packet of cookies.
She sat down in an armchair to rest and read in peace. Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, a man sat down next to her, opened his magazine and started reading.
When she took out the first cookie, the man took one also. She felt irritated but said nothing. She just thought: 'What a nerve! If I was in the mood I would punch him for daring!"
For each cookie she took, the man took one too. This was infuriating her but she didn't want to cause a scene. When only one cookie remained, she thought: "ah... What this abusive man do now?"
Then, the man, taking the last cookie, divided it into half, giving her one half.
Ah! That was too much! She was much too angry now! In a huff, she took her things and stormed to the boarding place.
When she sat down in her seat, inside the plane, she looked into her purse to take her sunglasses, and, to her surprise, her packet of cookies was there, untouched, unopened.
She felt so ashamed. She realised that she was wrong. She had forgotten that her cookies were kept in her purse. The man had divided his cookies with her without feeling angered or bitter, while she had been very angry, thinking that she was dividing her cookies with him.
But now there was no chance to explain herself, nor to apologize.
There are four things that you cannot recover:
1. The stone after the throw.
2. The word after it's said.
3. The occasion after the loss.
4. The time after it's gone.
This story reminded me a Hari Raya commercial:
Selamat Hari Raya (belated) to ALL.
Life sometimes can be difficult, cruel and unfair. But always stay positive. Look on the inside. Prove those negative thoughts wrong. Appreciate what you see. It's all about how you look at it. Get motivated and always remember that some things can pass with time. Don't stop yourself from feeling the joy and develop a gratitude journal.

Unique Taste of Malaysia - Episode 1
Hey guys, check this out. It's one of my work recently in Mediasaya. My supervisor assigned me to do an individual program. I have to produce at least one episode for each month. I decided to do a programme introducing extraordinary food/drink/dessert found in Klang Valley and I named it 'Unique Taste of Malaysia'.
Chew Chew Chow Tofu, is a stinky tofu restaurant located in Kepong Baru. Initially, I did not know about this restaurant until a friend invited me there. I personally love stinky tofu dearly and I found the food there gave me a different sensation of eating stinky tofu. LOL Thus, I decided to highlight it in my first episode.
I'm not sure how many people out there likes stinky tofu as I do, but I'm sure there are many people hate it. They can't stand the stink and claims it tastes like shit. But those who can bear with the smell and eat it before, they will definitely enjoy it for life.
Ok-lah. Enough writing. Just watch the video. Made tons of mistake but I will try my best to improve for the next episode. Hope you enjoy watching. Kthxbai.

Mediasaya Sdn Bhd
It's been awhile.
Started my internship two weeks ago and everything was great. Unlike working in other big production houses or media company, I do not have to work long or shift hours. I plan, script, shoot, edit at my own pace and time.
Everyday I go to the office at 9.30am and leave on time at 6.30pm. My supervisor will have a two to three hours discussion or sharing session with me daily so that I can learn something new and how to make a better production.
In Mediasaya, I am considered as high-end slave (LOL), according to my supervisor. I was given the position Creative Media Executive but I don't get paid at all for interning in the company. Some of my friends and family members said it wouldn't be nice if you work for a company without allowance.
On second thought, internship is about getting experience before venturing into the real working world, not earning money. If I could get valuable knowledge and priceless experience from a company, all these will worth much much more than a piece of money.
I will update again soon.
Below is a time lapse video done by me about the 'punch card' system of my company:

Final Year in UTAR!
Happy Chinese New Year to all of you! I know it's kinda late to wish you all, but please forgive me. I am just very lazy to update my blog.
University life is quite OK right now. Just too much of holidays before this. Because of that, I feel hectic when the assignments start piling up like a mountain and there are many replacement classes in the coming weeks.
Had a meeting for Multiple-Camera Production (MCP), one of my final year projects, with my group members this early morning. I was interested to become the Floor Manager of the production team but at the end I did not get the position due to 'democracy voting'.
After the meeting ends, few friends asked me whether I was upset with the outcome of the meeting. I answered them I'm more than fine. If I was the person I used to be, I would surely get very disappointed and emotional about it up to few days. Well, I've truly learnt how to let nature take its course.
Life is not a bed of roses. Things don't always go according to our wills, but perhaps it is the best act by God. I thank Him for giving me such a great learning environment that keep teaching me how to think positively, the true meanings and values of life, i.e. my business centre.
It's my final year in UTAR already. I will do my best and graduate without a hitch. Fighting! =D
p/s: Just in case you will misunderstand, I am not a Christian. I'm a Buddhist/Taoist who acknowledge the existence of God. I think most religions believe the existence of Him. Ciao.
