From boys to men, from men to warriors from Troy.

What distinguish men from boys, is his tendency to admit his own mistakes, to take responsibility even when it might seem too hard to carry, never back down from a fight, or jumping off from a plane 20000 feet in the air and say I love you while holding a cute Pembroke Welsh Corgi. This is what real men should strive to achieve.

Being a man is not just using Oldspice products, being a man is more than that. Having a manly voice comes first, next is getting a huge-ass moustache and beard, all while working out and getting a six pack and body that looks like a warrior from Troy. No, you should never trim your armpit hair unless it hinders you from swinging your sword properly against invading aliens. Other than that, you should never trim your hair. Let it grow naturally. For some native folks in Malaysia, hair is the symbol of a man.

Coming back from over-dramatic used of adjective and imagination, let just take a few steps back to when we first recognize the power of being assertive. Being assertive is basically the first lesson to be a man. Assertive in an active manner, and assertive in passive manner. What do I mean by this?

Assertive in an active manner is done when you actively giving out ideas/instructions/orders to others, or someone who knows what he wants and has a clear picture of what is the best solution (according to him) to the problem and he is not afraid to bear the responsibility of sharing it out. This, is what being a real man is all about.

Assertive in passive manner, a man who doesn't speak much, but when he does, it's gold. A person in this category usually let his actions do the talking, when he does something so good and reap such heavy outcome that people just follow him even when he doesn't actively asking for it.

That's all for today's sharing, perhaps it's best to just learn this little step right now before going towards a bigger step.

Life's Lesson. #1

Life, isn't like what it used to be. The knowledge from our ancestors are not 100% true any more.

In this modern era, people evolve. Society expectation droves people out of their comfort zone and into changing the behaviour of mankind. Thus, created a list of new individuals with million differences and one similarity. Let's take love for example:

Just love isn't sufficient any more, you need real strength in order to really capture your destiny. Even when overflowing love is demonstrated to the one you cherish, society has make it impossible to turn those effort into sure-gain outcome. Just like when you push a balloon into the lake, the more you push it downwards, the more it tries to float high up. The art of giving love isn't how much you say or do, but how thoughtful the little things you did for her when it matter most. Things that come naturally from you, from within. There's no planning, just sheer spontaneous actions. As for a man, this is even harder, as we are not built to be giving attention to details or remembering to give chocolates on the 100 hours dating anniversary and others. However, what men can really do to keep his woman is to be a real man.


Yes, it's just that simple.

Ipoh Trip: 1st stop. Ipoh Famous Yong Tau Foo @ Pasir Pinji Big Tree Foot

All right. I have been MIA for so long saying I would stop blogging here.
I... guess I changed my mind.

So, here I am, once again.
Writing about my blas and blus and most of all...

FOOD TRIP!

-----------------------------------------------------

Me and Sam thought of going for a trip during our 3 days holidays from the end of April till Labour Day.
Hardly we have been granted three VALUABLE holidays and thus, making a good use of it is our main priority.


After departing from my office at 1pm, we reached Ipoh around 3.40pm, can't blame me,
the traffic is congested along the highway -.-


Our first stop is none other than Pasir Pinji Big Tree Foot Yong Tau Foo.

This reputation of it isn't something of a hoax, the Yong Tau Foo (Yong Liew) made from the fish paste really taste fresh and every bite just brings you to another level of comfort... "food comfort". Every little Yong Liew we ate was definitely worth its money as the Yong Liew are stuffed packed, ensuring every bite is a BOMB!

I nearly forgot to mention about the soup base of the Yong Tau Foo, it is HEAVENLY!
The anchovies (ikan bilis)-based soup is very concentrated. Though a bit salty, it saltiness and the taste of the ikan bilis blend well with the fried Yong Liew.



Going at 60-70 cents per piece, this delicious masterpiece is definitely a must-go for anyone.

Here is the LOCATION of the place if you need to refer to the Google Map.




Author's note: The location is quite isolated from the town. So, make sure you look carefully in your search.

My post will be shorter compare to last time, but I'll make sure every word speaks content.

Till then,

Adios

2011 New Year Resolution

After writing the New year resolution for 2010 so that I can at least have a target for myself so that
I won't look so useless when I reflect on my life of what I did for 2010.

Pathetic? Yeah, maybe. At least I'm better than those that wasted their 2010 basically doing nothing that would help them :P

I did completed 4 out of 6 resolution for 2010. So I think I can manage the future resolutions.



Now I'm going to go straight into my 2011 New Year Resolution.

1) Earn more $$$$$. Increase my monthly income to 3k-4k. (Thanks to you, Mr. MyVi)
A bit unrealistic maybe. But it is possible. Trust me.

2) Jog/Swim/Biceps training at least once a week. (My dumbbells have been lying around for quite
some time -.-)

3) Meet up with my old pals and new buddies. (Seriously, after I moved out to OUG, I've not been meeting up with them often. Miss ya guys.

4) Have at least 7 hours of sleep everyday. (I can't seem to have 8 hours of sleep a day like how I use to be)

5) Succeed in doing all the resolutions above. (Okay, this is a cheat, but hey! If I could do the above 4, I deserved the extra "completed resolutions", right?


This year will be a tough one for the Rabbits (Zodiac). As we are "offending Tai Shui". So, Rabbits, work harder!

Till then

HAVE A WONDERFUL 2011
