Tuna Seng

“Colleagues asked, ‘eh so, today your last day what you wanna have for lunch, we buy you la’

I said ‘ we’ve been having Japs, Korean, Italian and Mediterranean for the past 4 days already why don’t we go for something damn canggih! MAMAK! I am in dire craving of a nice glass of Teh Ais’

Their response; ‘Wtf?! Boring la you! Something more canggih la!’

My reason; ‘Wtf?! Can’t I enjoy mamak now more than anything? Leave me alone! To me, mamak is duper canggih k? I grew up with that and mamak made me big and strong!’

Their feedback, ‘You’re f**king lame but okay, whatever you say la. You’re paying for yourself then since it’s so cheap and there’s no point us chipping in.

Me; TuNA SENG! As to non vulgarity in my blog, I shall not pen down the real word.”

It amazes me as to know that there are so many people who knows it is my last day at work today. Already I have been very discreet (except for my own team), and intended to leave quietly. Mana tau all these creative, studio and production people started coming up and I am receiving best wishes mails every half an hour. I am overwhelmed though, knowing I have made quite an impression on them although my time was short here. Anyways, farewell farewell!

It’s long break for me now, 10 days to be exact. I will be heading back to Penang on Wednesday after everyone resumes work; this is so to avoid traffic congestion. I’ll always remember last year’s Raya that I was stuck in the traffic from Penang back to KL for 8 hours and this is after me using the emergency lane the whole journey where else my colleague then from Patimas was stuck in it for 14 hours. CRAZY!

So since I have experienced such exciting experience, I shall not repeat history as much as I am just dreading to go back home and see my woman! My grandmother!

Anyways, off to self adornment; gym and hair cut! It’s a holiday; somehow I’ve to look better than this for it. Roar!

Happy holidays everyone and to me Malayan friends, Selamat Berbuka Puasa dan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!

Cheers!

Howie Day - Be There (New Album)

Studio Version


Acoustic Version



When the morning came I was up before first light,
And Your bed was made you must have cut out sometime lastnight,
My heart beat started pounding out riddle in my brain,
Voice from deep inside said got to be insane,
Everyone knows how this old story goes,
Got in my taxi and drank my conscience away,

If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight,
Start livin, out with the old, im on the up,
Must be the good life

I went to your friends house begged you to open the door,
With Your hands on your hips you spoke while i sat down on the floor,
Two dishes in the kitchen sink, the way you treat me when you drink,
You don't look so superior when you give your opion,
Don't think i don't know how you act on your own,
Just who are those names on your cell phone anyway,

If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight,
Start livin, out with the old, im on the up,
Must be the good life,

Its the cool breeze on the setting sun,
The New Year's , The 4th, wrapped into one,
You make me want to be someone that you could look up too,

If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight,
Start livin, out with the old, im on the up,
Must be the good life,

Come on get love,
Come on and try,
Come on now what are you waiting for?

(repeat 4x)

Come on...


*All i can say is hallelujah!
God has blessed this guy with such a legendary voice!*

Chill out & Ambient

I am pretty much into chill out, new age & ambient today at work, don’t know why the sudden awareness flux.

I have not been listening to them for like eons. I guess I am just…at Zen. Heheheee.

So here are few that I have been listening to this whole morning till now and to discover them having such classical feeling, so uplifting, so deep and enriching. I feel so refreshed, as though my feelings for everyone and myself have been refreshed and strengthened. Hoho.

It’s amusing and amazingly unexplainable how certain kind of music genres can influence an individual on their daily sensation.

Chill out

Chill out (sometimes also chillout, chill-out, or simply chill), a term derived from a slang injunction to relax, emerged in the early and mid-1990s as a catch-all term for various styles of relatively mellow, slow-tempo music made by contemporary producers in the electronic music scene.

Ambient

Ambient music is a musical genre closely related to or also seen as a sub-genre of New Age music, that focuses largely on the timbre characteristics of sounds, often organized or performed to evoke an atmospheric, visual or unobtrusive" quality.

Well, for my knowledge on Chill out/ ambient music would usually be inclined to a room designated for patrons of a club to chill and take 5 from the hectic dance/main room. Either that or the bar is built on the themes themselves. These two genres are well accepted by the European culture especially in United Kingdom (London) and Hungary (Budapest), about Malaysia…hmm.. Need I say more?

From observation, that place will slowly switch and blend with our inept to adapt minds and in the end become another R&B club

OR

Of course as our culture educates us, welcome and let it be invaded by ‘TKs’, MCs and PRs (We stand united!)

Anyways I will stop my never ending nonsensical-nonsense and have the below list up;

Hope you peeps be pulled into another dimension with the above list, into a dimension with zero conflict, zero doubt, zero emotion but only pure serenity and tranquility that tingles but at the same time relaxes every sentiment of yours preparing and lifting your day it as much as it did me.

Cheers and peace out!

A New Turn

In 3 weeks, I will be leaving this mundane uninteresting but long ass working hour job.

Here comes in two main facts about advertising that everyone should know before they join;

1. You think passion is more important than money, then go ahead

2. You can stand long working hours e.g. if there’s a pitch that the company is participating in, you will then need to stay back maybe till 3am or so, DAILY! even on weekends.

Goodbye Grey!

I on one hand am in dire need to up spin my bank account than to live moderately especially now that Maverick is not around. Cousin has bid KL farewell, I can finally have some ease there on the pocket. It has been painful for quite some bit.

And now the surfacing of an opportunity, with Mah Sing Properties.

I have always wanted to be in properties for as long as my memory serves me, I started the habit of reading up on properties to see just how the market price fluctuates but never really had the initiative to pursue it till recently. Still there was a dispute going within myself, whether to go for Developers or Agents. It was quite a long thought on that, in the end Developers triumph, at least for the time being seeing myself new on the field with properties.

Mah Sing Group will do me well I am sure, with the opportunity to travel between Pg and KL; I think it serves me oh so good. What else can be better than to go back my own hometown and claim every penny spent. Then besides that particular point, I get to see my family whom I miss dearly. Nostalgia baby! Hehe.

Here are a few projects by Mah Sing which are upcoming and hot at the moment.

South Bay Penang - Artist Impression


Southgate Tun Razak - Artist Impression


The Icon Mont Kiara - Artist Impression


Damansara Lagenda

There are so many projects going on with Mah Sing that I can never finish reading up on them even though I read every day. Property field, I wonder how these people keep up with it. Projects are ever emerging, ever changing with so many political issues, local community disputes and ever improving infrastructures. How can one person keep up with everything about it and be so knowledgeably A to Z about it. Darn it! Guess I won’t know how it really is till I have my hands on them, soon. 28^th of September 2009 here I come!

Positive thinking, I SHALL BE THE NEXT PROPERTY TYCOON! Haha! A bit too far of a thought there but I found my flame to perform again and I will. Bismillah! Kekekee.
