CHRISTMAS WEEKEND

A simple family dinner at home. Having steam boat half way through smell of something burning bon checking found out it was the extension wire which is of low grade. Have to custom made one of better spec. After diner we went to a nearby mall to support one of the family member's grand opening of his premium ice cream shop. First time trying this brand. Not bad. 

Christmas morning was in church with family.  A very nice message from pastor. One of the point he touched was we must be too hard on ourselves. We must learnt to forgives ourselves and also to laugh at ourselves. Lunch was provided after service. 

Evening we had dinner together at manhatan fish market.

Finally I was able to watch this movie on my samsung tab. 

Story about a couple  going through a divoice and due to an earthquake they were some how reunited when they went looking for the daughter who was caught in the quake at San Francisco. 

Something so inevitabily shown in the film, the character of a person is revealed The selfishness of man who will only safe themselves. Then there are those who will take the opportunity to loot.

Overall a nice movie with a happy ending. I just love happy ending.

CANDLE IN THE NIGHT

Inspired by candle in the wind

Deep in the woods..
A lone candle flickering in the dark night
The cold wind blew,but you stood firm
Ever faithful shining your light
Then came the heavy rain

And Snuff out the light

Atlas no more light flickering 

In the dark, dark night

SOME INSPIRING QUOTES

There are so many that encourage me, but these are some that I like and meaniful to me.

I  truely believe in this.

I think I'm guilty of this. How I wished I could undo this.

Note to self:  We made mistakes, but we can learnt from it.  We can't turn back time, but we should be more careful and tactful in future. 

I MISSED MY FRIEND

I have fond memories of my best friend Rc. We shared the same interest for comics, Maybe that was the reason we could click together. Funny we did not started off on the right foot. The first time I encounter him, he was like an angry boy. He thought I had touched his bag and wanted to beat me up, or was it just a show? I said nothing and just walk away. Well you would too if you have seen his size. As fate would have it, we met again,when we became classmate the following year. As time goes by we became best friends and when I shared with him the incident, we had a good laugh.
Our loved for comics never die and we even talk like crazy kids even when we became working adults, and even after we had our own families. In our teen years, both our mothers could not understand us. sometimes we could talk late into the night and my mum had to come and ask me to go home. Later it became our wives' job to do that. As I could only afford to buy a few titles of my favourite comics , Rc would lend me his. He  was quite a sucessful business man and could afford all his favourites titles.
Unfortunately my friend did not live long. He died on his 50th birthday. He would have been 61 this year had he lived. We would have much to talk about today, with all our super heroes making it to the big screen.  The last we went to the movie to watch our super hero was when superman staring christopher reeves hit the big screen. We had those on VHS tapes back then as part of our collection.today it would be DVD or even Blu ray CD. I bet he will have his home system and I could watch it at his home and talk silly stuffs till our spouses remind us of the time. Some of our favourite hereos that made the big screen:-
*Captain America
* Iron Man
*  Thor
* Superman
* Guardian of the galaxy
* Wonderwoman
* Black Panter
* Spiderman
* X-men
*Green lantern
* Flash(on tv)
*Fantastic Four
*Antman

Yes Rc would have love this era, and how I missed my best friend.

LAST RUN 2015

Today was suppose to be my final run for 2015 at cyber jaya. As I had another event in the afternoon at putrajaya challenge park I pack ready my gears and had plan to go there after my run as going home and then to make another trip there would be waste of petrol and time. Anyway had my alarm set the night before but I manage to get up even before the alarm goes of.was greeted with the sound of rain. So I was debating should I or should I not go. One part of me wanted to go so much as I was sure I would get to see someone but on the other hand it might not be a good idea as my presence might not be welcome. So I decided to stayed at home. Continued with my sleep. Did had a good sleep. Got up around 8.30am and watched the new fantastic four movie on my Samsung tab. I can't say I like the movie. I still preferred the old version of the story.  My daughter in law just prepared breakfast even though it's almost lunch time. Gotta grab some bite before I head to putrajaya for some rock climbing

The rock climbing went on fine,except with one little inciddent, when one guy knock against the wall and dislocate his shoulder, which was an old injury which he did not mention to the organiser.
other than that everyone had a good time and enjoyed the climb.

The race , I choose to stay away

BAD ENDING?

December does not seems to be kind to me. First I had a fall out with someone so dear to me. Then  the accounts people at DHL, did not up date their systems even though payment was settle months ago. So they block the system and I was not able to sent out a shipment. Then the water company cut of the water, because our accounts people forgot to make payment. So I had to go without my drink during tea time. Haiz. Then this morning I could not get into my office, because the lock could not be open. So I had to call my boss to update him and also to let him know I will be looking for a locksmith. When I reach the locksmith's shop my boss called to informed he manage to open the door. Oh boy, so embarassing. So he must be thinking this guy can't even open the door why do I need to keep him. There goes my bonus.. Can't believe it my car air cond deceide to go on strike.Hope it won't cost me a bomb , as my road tax and insurance is due next month. This is a bad timing.
Hopefully the remaining days of December there won't be any more problems. or surprises. Hopefully 2016 will be better .
