At first, we thought that since nobody using the car at home and FIL had told us that he wanted to sell it to someone else or any prospective buyer, we had decided to grab the deal by offering him another heavy duty vehicle for his daily business purpose. But after put some considerations, we had to let go the opportunity for some other reasons. I thought that my FIL would be pissed off soon after we justified about our clarification and thank God that he didn't. It wasn't that we can't bear the maintenance and the fuel consumption for that old Honda. The car still great when it comes to its performance on the road, handling and the interior design still at its best but it wasn't a perfect timing for us. I was truly devastated at the beginning after we had made a decision, more or less, I have foreseen that the car going to be one of our daily transportation regardless to the one that I'm using at the moment. But we had made our mind, and it was final. I'm planning to get another new car and don't know whether it is a local or continental type. Whatever it is, I'm telling you, every night at home, I always dream of owning a brand new Japs car, drive it with passion and chuck in all the family members inside it. Get a clue of what kind of car that I desired most? I'm truly head over heels with it. Wish me luck!

I'm kind of hands full these few days due to my own mundane chores but it won't stop me from writing something in my blog. I have a sad story to share with but first let me express my condolences to this wonderful & strong fella because her husband was died tragically after being shot. It happened when her husband was about to clean up, alone, at this one cabin whereby it supposed to be a wedding ceremony earlier on but then there were some conflicts appeared before the bride & groom tie the knot, so the bride calls off the wedding. (This fella & her husband were this couple wedding planner). When everybody left the cabin, the only person who hadn't was the groom. He was so devastated and pretty much hammered because he couldn't get married with the one that he loved. So, this fella's husband tried to persuade this groom to keep on moving and start his life again from the beginning. Felt threaten by the advice, the groom while holding a gun, pointed it out to this fella's husband. And again, he tried to persuade the groom not to do that but apparently failed. Realized that before someone got killed eventually, he decided to grab the gun from the groom's hand. Back then, this fella was so worried because her husband didn't pick up the phone when she called few times. So, she contacted the police department and talked to this detective. They both rushed to the cabin and saw shadows of two people behind the curtains, fought with a gun held in both hands. Without any clear justifications, the detective aimed his pistol and shot to the guy that finally got the gun on his hand. And it was this fella's husband who being shot. So, the husband admitted to the hospital and this fella have waited for him all night long in a hope that her husband could awake and smile to her again. She suddenly slept on a chair beside her husband bed. As soon as she woke up, she saw her husband kneel down to her. She was so happy because she thought that everything was fine, until her husband said that he suffered from ebolism. Her husband said, 'Don't worry!2x. I want you to remember me the way you see me now!'. She tried to get up from her chair in order to get a clear picture of the situation but soon she realized that it was her husband soul who she had talked to. She cried out loud when she saw the doctor & nurses tried to save her husband's life. And there, in that tragic room, she was being left alone by her husband who had passed away, leaving her with all the good memories behind.

Some said that you've got to have guts in order to pursue anything that you want. While others might say that by having only guts won't make you taste the glory IF you don't plan properly. Everyone claims that they have what it takes to do such and such. But for me, if I were asked to do something that beyond my expectation, control and capability, I would definitely said no without hesitation. Why should I give 'em some false hopes just to be nice to 'em but at the end it is me who suffer the most? These are the thoughts that had terrorized my mind when I woke up in the middle of the night last night. Recently, there were few friends had had invited me to join their business. I have been promised some commissions should I be succeed and help 'em to expand their business horizons. It were tempting at first, but after I put some considerations, I have decided not to join it. I don't think I owe 'em some explanations because my long silence act should give 'em the answer. But I do think that I owe 'em some apology...
FN: Don't ask me whether I have guts to join in or not, I do have guts BUT maybe the time is not right yet...I have my own plan for this year! Something different......

I have started to write or shall I say update my contents again. These few days, it seems that the intention to create something meaningful & outstanding to the subscribers have made me pull out all the strings that previously have had tied up my moves. I enjoyed when I received some positive feedback from 'em now & then. I was having a thought to put up some of the updates over here but not quiet sure how necessary can it be because at the moment the contents weren't bilingual and the only version I have was in Bahasa. I know I have among the lowest readers population over here and I believe all of followers/readers could very well verse in Bahasa so no need to put in another version, but that's not the reason why I having a doubt to do so. My main target is to boost up the traffics and I could only achieve that when they subscribe to it. The more subscribers I get the merrier income for the company. I know I may have another alternative to make it more profitable for myself, but let's not talk about it yet. Meanwhile, my solely intention is to make sure that the branding that I have introduce is reliable, long lasting and will create a solid fundamental in its own way. I want it to be phenomenal.......Hmmm.

I always have something to say when it comes to my desire or lust or anything that could drive me crazy. To be franked, when I started to know about IT, i always thought that this stuff more or less is like any other stuff and there’s nothing special to brag about it. But then, when I decided to get to know and started to put my attention on it, suddenly I feel in love again. The feeling is so exquisite and I don’t know how to put it into words. It makes me wandering every night before I go to bed, I’ve even dreamed about it last night and nothing could compare it to any other stuff that I did. This one is so amazing and nothing could stop me finish what I’ve started.
This entry dedicated to my new infatuation, The Mafia Wars on FB…. J

This is going to be my last entry for the year of 2009. I’ve realized that blog writing is another platform that had helped to soothe me whenever I’m mad about something or whenever I wanted to express my feelings. And again thanks to the only person who had dragged me, barefoot into this blogging world. (You know who you areJ).
I have so many things in my to-do-list that I really want to accomplish for the next year. Just hope that whatever decision that have been made or/and any circumstances that may come, will be bear by me….like it or not.
So, I hope you guys (who might have read this) having a wonderful year end and let’s start our life with something that totally meaningful and become a better person.

BMI & Daily Needs Calculator
You are a 32 year old man, 5ft 7in / 170cm tall, with a current weight of 52.0kg. You lead a sedentary lifestyle.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Your BMI
18.0
BMI is a standardized ratio of weight to height, and is often used as a general indicator of health. The "normal" BMI for an adult man of your height is 18.5 to 24.9. This translates to a healthy weight range of 53 to 72 kg.However, BMI does not take body composition into account. A weight above this range could still be considered healthy if your percentage body fat is less than average. For more accurate determination of body fat levels, consider using a body fat caliper.
Calories Burned
Your Calories Burned
Daily Energy Expenditure:
2146 kcal
( 8985 kJ)
Note: Accurate determination of the Calories you burn can only be accomplished by individual physiological testing. This calculation is merely an estimate that was derived from regression formulas and data provided by these sources:
2002, "Dietary Reference Intakes for Energy, Carbohydrate, Fiber, Fat, Fatty Acids, Cholesterol, Protein, and Amino Acids," Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of Medicine.
Ainsworth B.E., 2002, January, "The Compendium of Physical Activities Tracking Guide," Prevention Research Center, Norman J. Arnold School of Public Health, Univ of SC.
In the above table, the Daily Energy Expenditure includes Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE), the energy consumed by daily activities, and the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF).
This estimate represents the total daily Calories needed to maintain your current body weight. To gain or lose weight, you may need to adjust your Calories upward or downward from this amount.
Recommended Minimum Daily Needs
Here is an estimate of your minimum daily nutrient needs, based of the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) established by the Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of Medicine (IOM)...
Note: The above recommendations are only estimates of your minimum needs, and do not take into account any illness or genetic individuality. These recommendations are specific to men between the ages of 31 and 50, and may differ from the standardized Daily Values used on nutrition facts labels. Some of the nutrients included in these recommendations are not yet tracked by NutritionData.com.
Recommended Macronutrient Distribution
Your Recommended Ranges
Carbohydrate: 45 to 65% of total Calories
Fat: 20 to 35% of total Calories
Protein: 10 to 35% of total Calories
Note: These recommended ranges for macronutrients are based on your age and come from the IOM.

I could still hear my bones rattle every time I adjust my seat at the office. Both thighs were painful or shall I say swollen due to my exercise-freak habit that I adapt these days. Last night, I haven't had a chance to exercise like what I did on the day before, but I've managed to do some seat-ups in a way that, I was hoping that the existing muscle pains would ease slowly. My unproven theoretically would say that, once we have the muscle pains, there would be no harm to make it more painful as long as our body could bear with it. Silly am I?

I was looking for a material to write it down here together with my intention to update my contents in the database. But the longer I think about it, the longer I become so clueless and conclude that I'm having an agonizing pain............in my mind:P. It is so painful until nobody could imagine it. The idea of updating my own creative writings in the library, more or less has come to the dead end. I need something that fresh from the oven, rejuvenate and new to be updated in my library. Where the hell could I get the refreshing idea? I need to do lots of readings for this, I need to search for something different so that the market knows that the services are still exist and convincing and they won't regret for subscribing it. Right now, I think the best way to describe my unscrupulous feeling is like having a body without a soul: stiff and cold. Some said that I should do some exercises at a regular basis. For the first time in my entire life,yesterday, I did it with a help of my lil' princess. We imitated the form of exercises from the show called 'The Biggest Loser-Asia'. We had fun doing it; push-ups, seat-ups, jogs, jumps, etc..until we were exhausted like hell. We were sweating and both of us LOL to each other. I did some awkward moves not to impress my lil' princess but to myself, and ended up my lil' princess LOL at me. I guess that was the first time she saw me doing some stretching stuffs and it was hilarious to her. So today, I came to the office with muscle pains here and there in a hope that my mind would be the other way around. But I was wrong, I still couldn't figure out what's the best to put in the library for today onwards. I guess the best way is to read more motivational stuff or at least some sparkling romance so that I'll be inspired by it.
FN: What is the similarity between creative contents writer/editor and a book author? Both need to be creative and have originality:P.

When it comes to the year end, there must be something that I regret in my life and simply thought that I knew I could do better if.....
1) I want to quit smoking but I don't put much effort on it. I knew I could do better if I really determine and outsource my stress to something that could benefit me rather than smoking. Why I relate stress to this one? Simple. Personally for me, stress = smoking. 2) I want to look for something different in my career. There is nothing wrong with my current job, it just that I want to expose myself to something that I'm really good at. Let my skills and working experience put me up to a next level so that others could appreciate my loyalty and realize that I'm worth to be hired. I knew I could do better if I be more aggressive rather than rely on job hunters or any portal that as if having lots of vacancies but the priority given to the premium applicants members. 3) I want to make myself more busy with chores and dedicated my life to it as long as I am capable of doing it. Despite of my age, I still have lots of ideas on how to make something work by referring to my knowledge and interests. I am mature and I could decide on what's what compare to young fresh grads I suppose. I knew I could do better if I decided to change my career as soon as 2009 approaches. Now it's going to 2010, I guess I have to start it all over again. 4) I want to put my lil' princess to an international school which I thought that that is the best for her. But due to some unforeseen circumstances, I thought that she'd get the best education as well from the local school. Same goes to her mom & dad. We weren't from an elite school either but we still living our lives as it should: happily, healthy, wisely. I knew I could do better if I plan this one from the first day that my lil' princess was born and put aside her education fee for this. 5) I want to perform 'Umra (minor pilgrimage) with my beloved mum which I have dreamed about it since last 2-3 years. I had this kind of dream whereby my mum and I holding hands to each other and stand in front of Kaaba (House of God). I knew I could do better if I made myself well prepare; mentally and physically since the first day that I made this wish.
There are many other things that I knew I could do better and make it done before its too late. I will jot it down and share with you guys if I had more time.........Someone really close to me once said this, don't let the worry worries until the worry worried you. I guess it's time for me to get worry about all of these before I have my last breathe.
