The Istanbul Adventure 2015

17th to 23rd Of August just had my 1 week trip to Turkey Istanbul, I didn't even know Turkey is 1 of the Europe country until I visited them. Normally I only see them from Football World Cup Turkey team. My geography and history are so damn empty, so I didn't know where they are located in the world map and what is the story behind this country. I didn't know what to expect. As this is a free and easy program so I had done some researches on the internet by searching Istanbul "images" to get some ideas, how they look like and which image that can amaze me.

The flight took us around 11 hours. I had a big surprise when I reached Turkey immigration, which was my passport left 4 months to expire, at the end I was being penalty for 353.10TL, straight away the exciting mood cut off 80%. Actually we just booked our hotel before we step into the plane. Now we are on our way to find out hows our room going to look like. Doing things at last minute is always the best because it will occur a lot of unexpected surprise, That is why Ted Movie says "#shit happens" Just stay calm & don't panic. Love doesn't lead the way but God will lead me a way hahahahah

Bumped into this at Taksim Square

Basically I was very happy, it was the 1st time I traveled by using the map, I even used Internet "Waze" to find out some places. Taking public transport is normal for me but doing research on taking which public transport was really the 1st time. I just realised I am very into those heritage thing & antic building. I had explored a lot of different era of art from there, you will find a lot of sparkling mosaic art which will give you a jaw drop. you will find out Tulip flower is originally from Turkey. Their country has more story because this country is older than our country. This country had been conquered by different people before, that's why you can see some of their designs are from Roman Era, some are from Ottoman, some are a bit Greece, Some very old churches had became museum or mosque. They say Istanbul is half Asia half Europe, so you can imagine the culture, art & life are so mixed. You have to be there to feel it.

Day3 was too dangerous to share here. We visited a palace that day, after visited the palace we have some food at their cafe , suddenly a loud noise "bommm "!!!! Everybody ran for life, My sister and I were like what to do now? Are we going to jump into the sea or wait for death? Really no idea what was the next step. Suddenly all the people became so lovely, taking care of each other. Before the incident some people were still quarreling. I swear, this is the only incident that will make us united. By the way I didn't have the chance to pay for the food and drink because nobody bothered to collect the money. Polices arrived not more than 3 minutes after the incident happened. It's kind of sad the building was blow by the terrorist ISIS. Everyone was living in fear at that moment.

We were drinking these when the
bomb exploded.

What I discovered from them: They are good in art like drawing and painting. They are very good in hand made or hand craft thing. On the other hand, some people are not working, some people are working 24 hours a day. Some people are doing some very boring job, most of their employees are man. I think they have not much choice in choosing their job. They have to work for their living. Suddenly I feel that we are so blessed because we have the chance to choose the job we love. I only have passion with what I like to do, What I had seen and learnt were we must have passion even on the job we doesn't like to do because we have the power to light up passion, that's what I believe. I saw many sales presentation & food presentation over there, what I can comment is "2 thumbs up" for their living skill. All I can say is good presentation. I need to learn that from them.

Please scroll to bottom to find out what we were drinking at last.

Kariye Muzesi

We were drinking these in an Irish bar,
Turkey beer.

This trip was really a lot of arguments and quarrels, we even got up to the wrong buses few times & even scolded by the bus driver, we even got down to the wrong station from the Ferri. But I really love the mistakes that we made, the obstacles & circumstances that we had gone thru, think back now I'm laughing, I really feel very very great for what we had overcame although on that moment we are scolding & cursing HAHAHHAHA. No choice, everyone overcomes their problem with their very personal way HAHAHAHAHA. We can quarrel till the sky upside down just because of the bottle being left in the restaurant. The ending of an obstacle is always happy that's y we must keep holding on till the end. Just like what they always say "look at the bigger picture", a perfect pic wont be true or genuine. A picture with some mistakes make the pic interesting, and please pay attention to this pic again, overall 80% is very wonderful & 20% is unpretty, this 20% unpretty obstacle shape u into a real man. That's why don't only zoom in and stop at the mistake or feel that's the end of the world, you have to zoom out to see the bigger pic because overall it's still a very beautiful trip, a trip to remember.

Tickets on the air and sea

Take That 2015 Concert

Just watched this beautiful concert movie few days ago. Its kind of surprise to see this poster on cinema website, that's the reason why I accidently watched this concert movie. It was a very amazing show to watch. Cant believe they have been singing for more than 20 years, Its not easy, can see they are working hard, workout hard, rehearsal hard & maintaining the relationship well & keep their singing passion burning eternally. I listen to them since I was 12 years old. From last time until now I still rate Gary Barlow is the best gentleman voice, his voice not to low not too high just exactly at the perfect line. Even when he is speaking or singing it sounds good. A lot of old songs bring back a lot of good old feelings. Some old song makes you feel like dancing like how they sing the song "pray", it filled u with hope. Some song makes you feel like you want to be a good person when they sing "back for good", its sentimental & kind of peaceful song. The 3 of them were singing & dancing so well, good stamina along the show, overall the performance I really like it very much, plus their impression in me was very good. If you want to learn how to sing, listen to Gary Barlow you will never go wrong, I swear.

BERSIH 4.0

29th & 30th August were our rally days Bersih 4.0. This time around we have 34 hours Bersih. This rally will become part of our history, next time when you look back to this news it will remind you that you were there before, there to support, there to stand for the right. Some of my friends don't understand what is the purpose & what is the meaning of this rally, they said that's no effect at all by doing all this, but for me I think rather than doing nothing or sitting at home n complaint. Bersih means cleanse, you may not see the effect immediately but you will see the effect slowly just like how you clean your house day by day. Although it will be dirty again, so we have to Bersih it from time to time repeatedly just to remind ourself we want a clean election & anti corruption. This is such a positive action. I was so touched to see those volunteers working there, Some people picking up the rubbish, Very very touched to see the people love the country so much. Some people even sleep over night there just because they want to support this rally for 2 days. I really very salute & deeply appreciate the people. Each time I went there I can feel the spirit was very strong because of the unity of the different races, it gave me strength and I felt extremely happy to be there to witness the moment. It gave us hope. I felt the love. I felt the force. Although a few people are playing fire cracker there, overall was very successful & positive respond.

My cousin told me before, if you admire your boss, you wont mind to work with him or you will even imitate the thing he does. Actually I very admire those politicians, I like the wisdom that they have, I admire their sacrifice, I like their very daring ways, their never die intension. I don't know will I become a politician 1 day or not. On the other hand I like & admire the priest, the sermon that they give was very deep & I like the way how they advice & influence people, I always see them as my hero. Not sure I will become the most handsome priest in the world or not.... Remember not only prepare your external, your internal have to be bersih & tidy as well.

Some people say this rally will be very dangerous or bla bla bla. I missed the Saturday section due to work but thanks GOD I made it on Sunday, at 1st I was thinking not to do because of my friends all attended on Saturday, But Sunday morning the calling was too strong, I don't care I have the shirt or not, I don't care who is going with me, Im going alone. Fortunately a friend joined me half way at Station Pasar Seni. Thanks GOD we have a Safe & Peaceful Rally. Some people may not free to go but for my advice was please do the right thing at the right time HAHAHA....... This time was very special, The ending was the starting of our Merdeka day, so 500 thousand people were there to rally & celebrate Merdeka 58th anniversary. Such a special moment.

Have You Been A Good Boy ?

A very good morning to everyone. Its a very lovely Saturday morning, you guys should be going out to enjoy. Have some beer with friends and speak the word from the heart or have some singing session to let out the feeling of anxiety.

Saturday morning was my most favourite time when I was a kid because it is a super brand new day and a starting of the holiday. Saturday morning is a time for us to meet up with friends, some people will ask u do you think it's a waste of time to spend so much time hanging out with your friends, for me I will say no, because relationship and friendship need time to develop, we need to invest our time, from friend maybe we can turn into lover, rather than just stay home and watch TV/i pad, they say when u watching TV its just a 1 way traffic of communication but when she/he is sitting in front of you talking to each other with the eye contact on, that's the 2 ways traffic of communication, you will be listened, you will have chance to share your thoughts, you will be questioned, you will be answered as well. Of course some people may need to work or take care of the babies which leave them no choice.

Last Sunday was a farewell mass for my beloved priest at my church, I felt so difficult to say goodbye, they played all the flashback photos, the moment which we all used to share. Heart felt heavy & over weighted. It was so touching & they ended it with a thank you good bye note. After they finished the video the priest 1st word was now the whole church needs tissue, I almost wanted to kick my leg on floor & cry hahahhaa. Anyway he will be missed. I've never seen a man who filled with so much wisdom, a man who is so inspired, a man speaks very calm & kind, he always gives a very warm feeling. He's must be praying a lot a lot, a very spiritual man, a man who sent from god is really different. Some people said my blog was very touching, some people said my blog was meaningful, all I can say is I have a very wonderful priest who keep on inspiring me. He uses his wisdom to tell me what is love. I still remember what he said: "you need to have the wisdom to feel happy".

A very good question from last Sunday, we always ask our kids and students "have you been a very good boy?" But different people got different point of view for a so call "good boy", some parent may requires their kid to get full A, some people's good boy was to do all the house chore. But who is going to ask us "have you been a good man/woman ? The God would not come down to earth just to ask you this question. So this is a question u have to ask yourself, Have I've been a very good man? Did I preview any porn video this week? Did I have strange relationship with the unknown stranger? Did I get drunk & did something wrong? Did I gambling? Did I love myself this week? Did I abuse myself? There are too many things we need to check when we are playing the role as an adult, we are just like an air plane & we are the engineer to fix & check out our own error. Sometime if your friend is kind enough they will tell you your fuel is leaking some where. Some dont bother to tell, some dare not tell and rather keep quiet. Sometime when a friend tells us the truth it will offend us because it reminds us our weakness. My friend just commented about my personality, he said "why you have to drink so much"? What is the reason behind? My boss did ask me before, what did you learn from your previous company, isn't drinking & smoking, I don't know why I laughed at the moment when he said like that, where is my dignity?

By the way, have I been a good boy? I think I'm still doing fine, I mean Im still consider a "pass" for my own expectation because I understand myself more than anyone, I always try to be God's good follower I will never do anything to against him. Anyway I never bother how people look at me, what they said might be true, it might be a kindly reminder. I think the moment that God approved me to step into this world, I know I was being chosen because many lifes are being miscarriage or aborted before they are born. I think God allows me to step into this world because he knows I got what it takes to face the future. I mean everyone is the same if we have the opportunity to being born we are already QC by God that we are qualified to fight for our life in the coming days. On the other hand I think I know where I'm standing, Im still very clear what I am doing. Of course our life considers very easy compare to the world war country, they really need more wisdom to feel happy over there.

They said drunk & sexual behavior are not a spiritual life. They said if you speak the truth you will be free. Not just adultery is bad but idolatry is not good as well.

Eventually if the kid in the war has the wisdom to feel happy, we're in a blessed country also cant feel happy, we really have to ask our self where is our wisdom. Lets pray about it.

Beautiful Goodbye // Fast & Furious 7

I seldom write about movie post but for this movie is a must, because I cant describe how much I love this movie. Fast & the furious was the hottest movie on earth now, I have watched the movie on premiere day, what we can do now is keep repeating the song "see you again" to remember Paul, to flash back the scenes in our mind & the emotions that we left in that movie. It was totally out of my prediction that Fast & Furious can transform into such a sentimental movie, last time their soundtracks are normally club hits, this time the soundtrack was going to make you cry. The 1st episode I was still 18 years old. It has already 14 years until now. All of the actors & actress look matured. Really feel kind of sad for the lost of the fast family member, we have watched 7 episode which was 14 years totally, I wanted to cry but my feelings came too slow, I was so surprise they will end the movie like that, I really very very love the ending, all I can say is a very beautiful goodbye, very touching, I like they brought out the importance of family, family love. I like the last scene which was the same cars on the road like before & they look at each other & smile joyfully, it takes me back to episode 1 once again. I like the words that Vin Diesel spoke at the ending "you are my brother", The last smile of Paul was really too deep it reflects all my memory from episode 1 to 7, Don't really feel like letting him go when I saw him goes his separate way, It makes every audience heart so heavy. Director James did a very good job & playing with audience's emotion. The reveal of this movie was very good, everyone watched it will say its a good movie. Some friends even crazy fever about it, I am under FF7 spell right now. My heart is not ready to watch any upcoming movie yet until Im fully recover from this fever. I think I might need to watch twice to get some help or get some healing hahaha...
