200 People, 7 Monorail Trains. MERDEKA TRAIN PARTY!

Its all about Malaysia. 3 main parties, one wicked idea and here comes a colorful day filled with sweats plus lots of walking. It was the Merdeka Train Party that i was talking about. On the 31st of August 2009, a bunch of 200+ future leaders of Malaysia gathered together and did something to show the world or at least the whole Malaysia that we can still be united achieving a same objective.

The plan was to fully or more specifically partially decorate the interior of a train with the props provided to celebrate this very significant date for us Malaysians. The independence day that is.

Though the exact meeting time is at 2pm, the usual 30 minutes late magic that happens all the time was clearly not working on the day itself. Instead, people started gathering since 1.30pm.

Soon enough, there were short briefing sessions where everyone gets a set of instructions. 7 teams in total where ZaidHD & NikiCheong leading the crews with 14 leaders leading every other people in the teams.

For me myself i was leading team 2 with Diyana, someone i knew back in the trip to Manchester early this year. All of the teams were given instructions to do some serious business in 7 monorail trains. Each trains with 2 compartments. One team One Train.

In no time, we transformed the interior of the train from this...

to this!!!

It was at Titiwangsa Monorail station that the train was fully decorated into what you won't normally see daily. Though there were lots of Malaysians who got lost having no idea on what are they getting in the whole journey, many of them did smile, cheered and even sang with us!

We shouted Merdeka from time to time and sang Happy Birthday Song a couple of times. It was crazy but it is all these little things that unite us all together.

There were lots of people saying that there's no more hope for Malaysia, pointing at the various negative headlines reported every single day by the mainstream media but from what i see, there's still people having lots of faith in the future of Malaysia keeping the words Malaysia Boleh by their mouths.

Through out the different stops where passengers getting in and out the train, i observed that there were the elder ones who smiled happily looking at the decorations, some even playing with the balloons and such singing along with us shouting Merdeka. Young ones were clapping delightfully.

Quite an encouraging scene i must say being able to participate in this project. At least i am still on a more brighter side thinking more positively at the end of the day.

After everything, everyone gathered at Tun Sambanthan station to get a big group picture.

Team 2

Part of The Crew

Seriously, it doesn't matters if you're Blue or White, Optimus Prime or Startroopers

the most important thing is you and me, we've got a role to play and by walking down the road together, i believe there's still a bright future for us.

Good job to Random Alphabets.

Happy 52nd Birthday, Malaysia!

Men look for Sex and Women look for Affection

It was yet another random conversations i had.
With a random anonymous girl on MSN. Read on...

joshuaongys says:
ask u
men need sex and women need affection
agree or not?
anonymous says:
haha not really
joshuaongys says:
den..
anonymous says:
women need affection
guys need trust and approval
joshuaongys says:
trust and approval
hmm
elaborate
anonymous says:
hmm well
like if a guy feels like his gf accepts him for who he is, and not try to make him change
and trusts him in whatever he does, and approves whatever he does
then he can love better
joshuaongys says:
wahh
anonymous says:
thats why guys dont like it when girls say "maybe we should ask for directions"
joshuaongys says:
best..
anonymous says:
he will feel like the girl dont trust him, like he dont know how to go to that place
joshuaongys says:
pls tell every other girls dat!
anonymous says:
guys need love and care and all la
but trust and approval comes first
followed by the rest
do you think thats true
joshuaongys says:
in some way yes its true
can u like go tell every other girl in this world
cuz many girls out there are like, i wana change my guy i wana change my guy yer why he like dat wan this dat...
anonymous says:
its like that wan la
joshuaongys says:
and sometimes i wonder den why at the first place u accept him duh
anonymous says:
cause guys and girls are diff, you should know
girls think that there's always room for improvement
joshuaongys says:
so sometimes u're lidat also lo hahaha
anonymous says:
when they love something, they will try to make it better
i try not to be lor
but it's girl's nature
guys is like if something is fine, don't fix it
it takes training la
girls show their love by offering suggestions and all
but guys "respect" each other by not offering help unless they are asked
two different things
but if a guy feels that his gf loves and accepts him
he himself will try to change himself
joshuaongys says:
CORRECT!
anonymous says:
like decide to go gym etc
joshuaongys says:
BINGO
anonymous says:
yaaaaaaaa true right
i noticed too
haha
i tell my boy that
and after a while, he wants to diet and all
joshuaongys says:
lol
u genius
why u so clever wan
anonymous says:

haha
joshuaongys says:
..................
cheh
anonymous says:
WOI
HAHAHA
so bad
at least i learn ok -_-
everyone should read lor
if not they would never understand
girls think that guys should think like them
joshuaongys says:
shud go thru it b4
anonymous says:
vice versa
joshuaongys says:
better than reading it
anonymous says:
we all go through it
just dont realize
joshuaongys says:
hahah
how bout guys side hmmm
jz now was on the girls side
tell me bout the guys side
anonymous says:
what about guys side?
joshuaongys says:
wat should guys do
how guys act generally
anonymous says:
well like i said just now, guys offer solution only when they are asked
if you noticed, girls like to complain
esp if they have a bad day
and guys will always try to "fix it"
best thing to do is listen
and try to understand
and just let them talk until puas
when puas, tell them like
"oh you had such a bad day, let me give you a hug"

and the conversation went on and wandered of somewhere else eventually. Anyways, its some common general stuffs/problems among boys and girls/men and women. Started from a statement that i heard previously from someone - "Men look for Sex and Women look for Affection".

From what i think, generally, Men do not look for sex ultimately but YES Women DO look for affection ultimately. In this age where most people insist on equal rights for both females and males, the strong almighty position of the males is really weakening already throughout the years and the more softer side of the males were shown with more females being independent having full control of their own lives.

Being on the side of the male myself, i must say that acceptance and understanding is what i'm looking for, and of course affection as well which involves love and care.

With lotsa girls nowadays who tried very hard to change every bit of their bf nowadays rather than totally accepting them for who they are, i find it pretty funny that why at the first place they would want to be with the guy then. Well of course, no offence to the girls, its something most girls need to go through.

Same goes to the guys, that we need to be a little bit more sensitive, less forgetful, and paying more attention to the girlfriend plus other more stuffs to cover as well being in a relationship. With that saying, i am still in the life-long process of learning. Not an easy lesson but it's definitely a very interesting and rewarding one i must say. =)

and about how this whole blog post was started with the statement :
"Men look for Sex and Women look for Affection".

There's a reason why God put us human as the rulers of the world and not any other living beings on earth and obviously, there's a big difference between dogs and humans. That's if you understand what i'm saying.
*of course, there's always some exception where some people are in a very sick & serious state already getting addicted to it. and i do believe that every single person seeks love ultimately.

Hennessy Artistry 25 July 2009 @ Bukit Kiara

The recent Hennessy Artistry event at Bukit Kiara was really crazy. Being able to attend it last year, i knew that this time round would be big and fun as well. All thanks to Nuffnang, and of course Nicholas & Yatz.. xD

It was already 11pm when i reach the place as i have some personal matters to attend to, and again, thanks to Nuffnang, i get to park inside the area which means i don't have to be like the people who park their car faraway from the venue. Some parked as far as across the road like 15 minutes walk from the place. Crazy party animals. =X

Upon entering the place, i realize that the placement of areas were completely different compared to last year's one which i think it was much better. There were more place to walk. Lolx

and of course, the crowd was massive. There was even a crazy long line of people out of the venue waiting to get into the place when i reached around 11PM.

The amount of people who were there, i bet you can get to know lots of new friends if you were to go a few rounds randomly talking to people. and because it is a Hennessy Artistry event, you can go ahead and get unlimited glass of free drinks for the girls. Haha.

Dominique Tsai was performing when i just got there and she is good. Then i started seeing familiar faces here and there.

Nicholas had 7 cups already i think and he's still obviously awake but Horng's face is like super red already. I wonder how many cups he down. Lolx
*ok la so from the comments, Horng said that's his first glass.

then shortly after that, someone tap my shoulder and there goes another random meeting.

It was my first time meeting Joanna. xD



then i saw both ShuJian and Ren who had a few cups already and they were chilling aside.

One turn behind and i saw a bunch of bloggers having fun dancing, touching, flirting, making out and etc. Uh oh did i just said something wrong? I mean they were having fun themselves, probably had excessive alcohol from the free flow that night already then.

It was then i bumped into Jolyn, the Penang blogger who traveled all the way to KL to attend this happening event she heard since last year.

then Su Ann was seen just arriving at the scene with a few of her friends. So many people already. No chance to talk with every single one of them. T_T

Jamie Bunny was there as well!! =D

I was busy keeping in touch with some certain people where i totally ignored who was performing and such till this dude came up.

Fat Man Scoop. Many people claimed that he sucked because when he was up there, they kept playing the music for a short period of time and then stop and played another different music and stop again and this process was repeated. Some say that it was because he is fat. I don't really care anyways but that repeating process was how i stopped a while and wonder who was the one on stage haha. Good way to attract attention.

Met Cracz And Shanz. The family with their name added with a Z behind, just like Yatz. Haha. and i'm pretty sure both of them had fun cause i've read what shanz said. LOL.

Miss Yap was there as well working as an official photographer. If any of you do frequent Hypertune Magazine then i'm sure you've seen her pictures there before.
*and uh oh she's single. =X

The night went on with more people having more glasses of Hennessy enjoying the music and of course the company. Most of the invited artists have already performed by 12AM and it was all up to Mr SAM to entertain the crowd for the rest of the night.

There were these dancers on stage when Mr SAM was doing his thing but everyone else was not paying attention at the stage. Lol. At least that was what i saw, people were drinking like there's no tomorrow

Fat Man Scoop was seen in the crowd taking pictures with his fans.

and here are more pictures of the people i met there.

PeiMan



Natalie Fong



Jane



Sin Yee =D

At the end of the night, some were bored like JoleneLai and her friends...



but some people were amazingly energetic and hyped up!!



like HsuJen the queen of Hennessy.



and DavidCheong the king of Hennessy.
Go visit their royal blogsite yah Roflmao.

Had a quick picture with the royalties and the almighty Yatz. There were loads more of people there which i've heard and seen but didn't really talk much with and that alone i left for the next occasion to do so bah.

However, it was still fun capturing some random rare people where i won't really meet daily as well as some of the usual people i meet quite frequently.

Random rare people like XueZane, ex-National Service mate. A few years ago that is. xD



Usual people like Zoe. Nuff said. =)

and so yea, that's the night. A night that have not much difference to me compared to other nights with such similar events. Such events that serve a main purpose for me meeting people and keeping in touch with them because there are certain people that is so hard to ask to hang out together even if its as simple as a YumCha session.

About the event itself, i somehow think that the lineup this year is not as good as last year's one, i was more interested in the lineup last year including Flo Rida and Machi where i have not much clue about the ones this year. Maybe its just me myself and of course i don't mean that the ones this year sucks, just not as good as i've expected. =)

However, the Party Zone Plan was awesome. Lol. I would still say that it is a good event bah.

Despite the car crash after the event and the departure with someone important, the event was one of the small thing that had me holding my smile at the end of day. It was great meeting every one of you who was there that night.

Till then. *smile*
