As many people had seen these 3 alphabets, practically everyday when you switch on your laptop, open up your internet browser, and read your daily news or email-checking from websites starting with the 3 magic ‘W’s. Yes, ‘We’ cannot live without W, so is the entire ‘World’ ! WWWs are in our lives, whether you like it or not.But today, I’m not gonna talk to you about any websites, or browsers or whatsoever. It’s the 3 Ws that got me all excited today, because someone had asked me a question 2 days ago, and I’m actually proud that the 3Ws idea came pop into my mind right after I heard it.

The question is simple, with 3 Ws in it: ~ Why you Wanna Write ? Ok, it sort of turned off your appetite ‘cause you must be expecting something huge, probably saying ‘what the heck?? That’s what it’s all about???’. I’m sorry to tell you, you’re right. Although I’m no Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston, whose lives are always under surveillance of the paparazzi in the world, yet I’m actually touched by a reader who actually asked me this, and wanted to know my reasons to write! What are the odds of that! Although her actual Question was: ‘Why you Wanna Write? I never understand why people do? And you went through all the time and troubles just to write out the summaries for others to read. Why?’

I remembered my early days when I needed to search online for films, drama, as our local TV network, was never as updated as anywhere else in the world (When you’re a teenager, you will have this urgency to be Mr/Ms.Know-It-All, and we do not accept being outdated! Believe it or not!) My problem is, it usually took me hours just to find the movie details that I was looking for, not to mention Streamyx was not even in the coverage yet at that time ! Don’t get me wrong, I like brief and simple summaries too, because eventually, everybody likes to watch the movies themselves. However, at that time I was longing for a more detailed summary, since I was unable to get in touch with most of them. Also, the reason I wrote about movies, chances are, someone could actually read and like the movie, which in their earlier intentions, never came across their mind. Well, nobody can judge a book by its cover, so do movies and their titles. I learnt that from experiences as well. *wink* Aren’t we all?

Although now it’s so much easier to find the details on the web (although the chances for you to surf into porno or virus-affected websites are still much higher) or even getting yourself a cable TV for all the updated movies/dramas, the point is, it’s my passion to write, especially for synopsis. I just love movies and I’m eager to share them with my friends, and all the movie fans. Because I know, that maybe, there will be some people who enjoy spending 10 minutes reading/reviewing a movie by words or some trailers, then spending his/her time on the DVDs for 2 hours and yielded nothing as anticipated. The encouraging part is, some of my friends, even intended to watch 1 or 2 of those movies, just because ‘hey, not bad, I think I’m gonna enjoy it after all!’


So, fellow bloggers, if in future anybody asks you, WWW or WWB (Why you Wanna Blog), just tell them your story. Actually, if this is a new thread in a blog forum, you will find the main reason that you shared with most of the bloggers is: Because I Love To Write! This Is my Passion!


By the way, due to requests, I will be putting up more movies.. well, only if I get the time to watch them. Ha.. anyhow, appreciate the support guys! Enjoy your Manic Monday!

Another Special Saturday !

Posted by Ching Ya | Posted in Personal | Posted on 12-10-2008

Another Saturday afternoon, the hot sun scortched the flowers, the trees, the people…You’re probably thinking I would stay indoor, relaxing with the air-conditioner, maybe a whitening mask on my face. Nope, instead, I had a lunch gathering with a long lost friend who I haven’t seen, like 2 years. So after the eating, chatting, seems like this friend is really into photography! Here are some of the photos courtesy by the magnificent LSX while explaning how the camera works. Eventhough I was not even close to ‘Ready’ in any of the shots, the outcome was unexpectedly natural, don’t you think? haha..


I added some quotes.. but the main idea is still the ICE CREAM! Who can resist it?


Sigh… someone tricked me.. I must claim for ‘modeling’ fee..


Gosh.. that looks delicious too…Can I order 2???


I added my very own ‘modern’ poem in the pic. hehehe.. sorry for my incapability of translating it into English, it would sound a bit not so ‘poetry’. Nothing special, don’t worry.

Then, I myself made some snapshots of my own, the 2.0 Megapixels SE. Very very limitted gadget… but what the heck? It’s a clear blue sky with no rain, ain’t it?


Guess what flavour are these?? Winner will entitle 1x ice cream from ‘you know where’, on own expenses! wuahahaha..


Wide & clear blue sky… using panaroma effect…



BPA building. Unique design. Ya Ge’s temporary office is there too, while waiting for theirs to get renovated.


This was taken at my parent’s, amazing view.. even with my low end cellphone.

After I got home, another project awaits! My hubby and I gave our little 2 siblings a surprise birthday celebration! Actually, Rachel (Siew Fong) had her 17th birthday last week, but we thought of combining hers with Nga Soon’s (16th, next week) together, to make it more exciting! So here are some of the snapshots! It was truly a joyous occasion! =)

So, best wishes to you two, and we love you! Good luck in both of your exams k?

'Not So Cloudy' Weekend!

Posted by Ching Ya | Posted in Personal | Posted on 28-09-2008

Cloudy Isn’t it? It was last Saturday afternoon. We were supposed to have a gathering at 4:30pm, eating RoJaK (local cuisine, similar to salad dish with mixture of vege or fruit etc & sauce) while enjoying the sea breeze at the beach. Sob sob… Not gonna happen today, as it had started raining !!!

Nope, the gathering was still ON! Sze Sing would be leaving tomorrow for S’pore, besides, we’d found another place for having RoJaK, and chatted away! So, it had been a sunny day in the Rojak Centre, obviously, check out our grins!

What about Sunday? Let the Slides tell the story.



In case you’re wondering, besides the home-made-sponge-cake, the rest could be found in parkcity area. Which shop? Give you some hints, Salad Chicken Rice somewhere near the Summer Tea; while Pataya, only few steps away from the mall. Went for a little shopping, coincidently there were car exhibition & coloring contest (organized by Gas Petronas & New World) ongoing. Afternoon, went for our final hunt at the food stalls before Raya starts next week. It was bright sunshine, then suddenly, dark clouds came, AGAIN! Nevermind, I got all the stuff I need anyway, and Soy Feliz ! =)

Eating Spree! ~ ????!

What a bright sunny afternoon, but …

‘My STOMACH beats like a drum, like a drum, dum dum dum…’, in this tight-financial moment, where to find good and economic food, but in LARGE quantity?? So, I’m getting slimmer eh? Unfortunately, today, I’m gonna prove you wrong…hia hia hia..

Somewhere near the new commercial centre, all the ‘Gerai’ (food stall in Malay language) are lining up along the car park, opposite the local well-known supermarket (No names, sorry, no free advertising! Haha.. a tip from a friend) Gosh, the smell was just tempting! Walking down the ‘aisle’, I had my eyes on KEROPOK LEKOR !! (a type of fish cracker) only 5pcs/RM1. Shopping Spree is not over yet!! RM1 each for : Fried Bee Hun, Fried Mee, Fried Rice, Fried Kuey Tiao! Hmm..something’s missing. OH!! Curry Puff & Pohpia !! That’s better.

Guess that was just about it. As soon as we drove by KFC…hahaha.. C’mon, who can resist the finger-licking-good?? In fact, the new Curry flavour KFC was just phenomenon.

p/s: A special thanks to dear Miza, for intro some of the great stalls there. =) An early happy Raya to you !

Friendly Reminder:
Beware! Never say ‘It won’t happen to me!’, because you never know when it’s your turn. No matter where, when or how, he is catching up on you, ’cause he is watching you… in the dark.. (wanna know why..scroll down…)

??????????????????????????????

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????KEROPOK LEKOR?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????KARIPAP & POPIA!

????????????????????????????????????????????????????

?????

????????‘?????????’???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

SAMAN AH!! ??????

AG guitar Version.mp3

31st August, our country’s National Day ! Of course, public holiday as well, YIPPIE !

I’m thinking of doing something slightly different this week. Instead of the usual story-posting, I wish to dedicate a song to you all, a familiar one for all people around the world. I remembered watching a movie with the exact same title as this song, and was deeply moved by it. So to my dearest pals, or even strangers who dropped by this page coincidently – It’s grace we’re still living today, and how I’m thankful that you’re here now, in this page. My sincere wish to all of you: good health, all the love, peace and joy in this world. God bless you all forever and ever.

It’s sort of a more contemporary version, I think, you can even sing along with it, and I’ll be playing the guitar when you do. =) Yes, I’m playing it, not very good, still need lots of practice & learning, but hoping to be better one day.

Specially dedicated to YOU, the Almighty One, for helping me through sadness, down moments in my life, forgiving me my stupidity & stubbornness. Thank you for everything.

lyrics:

Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now ‘am found
Was blind but now i see

T’was grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour i first believed.
