The Pursuit of Happyness



I'll just take it as my favorite movie.
Starring by Will Smith and his lil son, Jaden.
I'd been watching this movie for, let's take it 10 times. Is actually one of a movie that I got from my Filipino friend back in college. At first I thought it was a routine storyline movie, but indeed, it is, for some of them.

After I finished all the movie my friend gave me, I leave this at last, questioning myself, how nice would this be?
Really, you gotta finish the whole movie before you can but a conclusion for it.
(ps: watching alone inspires you more~)

It is based on a true story, Chris Gardner, an ordinary American, having a small family which is his wife, and his lil son. He made a failure in the beginning of his life by investing all of his money on a medical devise - portable bone density scanner, which at first, he thought that it would be a 'must' in the coming time, but eventually, it's just a scanner that provides slightly denser picture of x-ray, for twice the money.

Helplessly, he's counting on all the machines, as he has to sell at least two scanners a month for rent, day care payment of his son, taxes, and lots of bill. Unfortunately, is been a long time since he last sold the scanner. So, problems occurred, his wife pissed off and leave the house, and he has no more money to pay the rent and got chased off the house.

For his son, he desperately needs a job. And by the time he manage to earns an internship post at a brokerage firm Dean Witter, he realizes that he will not get pay during the internship period and only one will be choose from the interns to work for the firm...

It is the movie that made me think about my life, think about my future, my family, my wife, my kids, everything... It is not easy to survive out there. And it is not easy to run your own family. See, I can starve for days, I can wear RM5 shirts for my entire life, and I could just raise up my hand, and ask for a lil money to survive, but not my kid. It shows me that a mother's love is not infinitely more powerful than a man's. You gotta work as hard as you can to give them the best, and yet, you gotta teach them well.



"Hey! don't ever let somebody tell you, you can't do something, not even me.
you got a dream, you gotta protect it.
People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you, you can't do it.
you want something, go get it."

probably the best scene in the movie

New Environment at March~!

Here I am, after circling around out there for 2 years...
at last, I got back to my dad, 倦鸟知还啊~ (first ever chinese sentence in my blog!!)
3rd week now, I still got not much work to do, guess I still need to give him some time,
some time to get used with a so called colleague~

Something happened today! Might be a tiny little incident for someone,
my office's signboard finally dropped down itself!
It has been hanging out there for 20++ years, and what amazing is,
it did not hit any car or, fortunately, any people! lol
The shop lot down there is a tyre shop, used to be very packed everyday.
Someone told dad that it almost hit a motor, whatever.
I went to the back lane to look for that signboard, and I think I saw it,
but when I came closer, a stupid dog barking at me.

You know what came across my mind?
after 20 years, IDC's signboard dropped down itself,


does it resembling a new era is rising~?
One day, maybe not now, and maybe I need more time to prove myself...
One day, I'll grow it up myself, no matter IDC or Tulip.
Something is growing, I can sense that.
I'd been given a great opportunity, a shortcut by my old one.
None of my classmate has this advantage.
I definitely need to prove myself~

Went to alot of factories today,
from Kampung Jawa, to Puchong Steel Case, 
and then Shah Alam's Panasonic Manufacturing.
Drove 200km >.<
Alot of projects are coming up, after 3 weeks doing nothing, it is time now ~.~



Applause for Pun, she did something brave and clever, 
and of course, her 'I WONT QUIT' spirit~!
I'm proud of you, my lady~
hahaha~
Our lose weight plan starting soon!!! >.<


March~
I'd bought myself a new flashgun~!
As I need to use it for Pun's grandpa's birthday shooting, 
as well as sister's and dad's~
Speedlite 430 EX II ! yayyy~!
Was thinking to buy 580 EX II at first, but too bad it cost too much and I guess,
430 is more than enough~ i can save the RM600 for other gadgets~
love the final outcome~

sister's birthday

Pun's grandpa birthday

ah Pun's grandpa & grandma (2 at the back)

What's next?

60D + 18-200mm kit lens~~~ lols
But first I need to wish all the best to Japan, because...
their Canon & Nikon factories are temporary down!! >.<
(ps : all the best Japan, from the deepest of my heart)
