As of late, I've got a lot of things on my mind.. This n that and what not, stuffs that involves me directly, indirectly and even thought of stuffs that are unrelated to me at all.. it just stresses me out.. I'm tired..

Work probably has most to do with it.. so many things to do, so little time.. But then again, I suppose other people are just as stressed about work as I am.. maybe even more..

But I hate being stressed out.. cuz I get emotional when I am stressed.. Not in the common stress-anger, but rather soppy cry-baby kind.. I can't watch soppy movies or listen to slow song, cuz I'd probably b holding back silly tears.. n I can't let myself be alone.. I'd probably burst into a crying fit that would probably last about 5 seconds.. wierd, I know.. haha

I'd usually keep myself bz.. play games, surf.. do something.. but it doesnt seem to work anymore.. any other suggestions?

Are you a fan of food documentaries? These are such as Jalan2 Cari Makan n series that r on Astro AFC or Travel n Living? Notice the differences between Malaysian n western food documentaries? I did..

Western food documentaries and chef shows usually tells us many many many useful information. Tips on how to make the meat tender, what herbs to use n what not.. I'm not an expert about food - I just eat them. But these documentaries n shows are very informative..

As oppose to Malaysian food documentaries n shows, especially Jalan2 Cari Makan, they commonly talk about how good the food it. Period. Then the host would go about if u want to know how good the food is, try it yourself. How helpful or informative is that?

Had a conversation about this with a friend over dinner the other nite, he said, to which I agree, it boils down to the question : Do we (Malaysians) care? I suppose not many of us do.

In any case, I'll b blogging about food as well.. where to eat what, specifically in Kch.. note that being a Muslim, my place to dine is somewhat limited. First complaint being Sushi King is officially non-halal since the introduction of the 4 new alcohol added sushis... haiz...

Not so recently I've been quite active with Toastmasters. STIDC formed its own in house Toastmasters Club, a platform on which members are able to train n practice public speaking and impromptu speech skills. Highly recommended for thise who aim to deliver an effective speech. It also teaches the skill on speech management and organization, emphasizing on the time management and objective of the speeches.

Its good in a way that it teaches you the basics of what effective speech is, and how to deliver it. In addition, you learn to control your nervousness in speaking in front of a crowd, and voice control.

However, in my previous experiences with Toastmasters, which was in my college years, I learnt the huge difference between adult toastmasters, and students toastmasters, especially in evaluation. Students are more critical, and comments made are straightforward and adresses the speaker's problems and how to improve themselves. Adults, however, tend to sugar-glaze comments, IMO making it hard to interpret what areas require improvements. So I sorta learnt another skill - how to sugar-glaze comments.. Quite a contradiction to my preferences, which is to say it blutly.. but I suppose I have to adapt to environment..

In any case, in Toastmasters, I hope to be a quality speaker, and not just aim to complete the speech projects to gain the recognition that Toastmasters gives. Quality, being the keyword..

Ever since I got my HTC Desire I've ben pleasantly (and sometimes blindly) surprised at the amazing rate technology is progessing. Nowadays, I cannot leave home without my Desire. Everything I need to keep in touch with the rest of the world is here.

Desire features an Andoid OS. When asked wtf is that, my answer is simply something between appli iPhone OS, and Blackberry RIM OS. the best part of Android, specially if u also have HTC Sense is that u'll never get bored. I can change the way my phone looks and feels at any time, and simple too. Also some featuees that I find really really handy many many times.

Well, I'll cover apps on my next post. Gonna hit the gym soon.

fuh.. after months of silence I finally have not just the time but also the technology and connection to resume blogging. So expect more updates from me from time to time yes? aite.. thats all for now folks. C ya round...
