夢想

你的夢想是什麽?
你對夢想的定義,又是什麽?

當歌手?當演員?當藝人?當設計師?當導演?
很多人會覺得,只要不是關於“讀書”這件事,就可以當成夢想。。。

可是,我的夢想就是讀多一點書,充實自己。
其實我可以一畢業,就出來工作賺錢。以我的本事,我相信賺的應該不少。
可是爲什麽我要繼續呢?家人其實都不要求我讀很多啊~

第一
我實習時,真的覺得我自己會得不多,完全幫不了公司、社會。
我想要的不是這樣子的生活。日復一日相同的東西、相同的循環。

第二
我覺得我可以,而且我喜歡讀書/研究。
雖然過程可能很痛苦,可是。。。成功時的成就感,是多多錢都買不到的!!!

第三
我相信食品業還有很多未被發掘的可能性。。。
我希望用我小小的綿力,幫助這個世界一點點。


五月天用音樂震撼世界,我希望我可以用另一個方式,以我的能力來改變世界。

Love, Peace and God

BRINGING NINETOLOGY ONTO THE NEXT UPSCALE LEVEL


Before I start the post, I knew Ninetology through one of my favourite Malaysian singer, Z-Chen's facebook fan page!

How cool Z-Chen is! XDDD

Alright, bact to the main topic!

In conjunction with Malaysia’s 56th Independence Day, Ninetology Malaysia has officially launched its Flagship Touch Point at Plaza Low Yat, Malaysia’s Largest IT Lifestyle Mall, on 30 August 2013. With a concept like no other, Ninetology’s Flagship Touch Point offers consumers an experiential touch point for today’s lifestyles and culture as well as a product showcase. At the Flagship Touch Point, not only would the Ninetology products be showcased, it’s a place where consumers can learn how to use a smartphone to enhance their lifestyles and interests. The flagship Touch Point will serve as a youth and culture training hub to spread the urbanite culture that is cultivated by Ninetology. The Ninetology smartphones are not just communication tools, but a device that can advance one’s social visibility, thus opening doors to more opportunities. Eight more Flagship Touch Points within the Klang Valley will be opened this year with another nine outlets scheduled within Malaysia by next year. The Ninetology’s Flagship Touch Point is opened from 10.00am to 10.00pm daily.



A ribbon cutting ceremony was held to launch the first Flagship Touch Point. Gracing the ceremony were the management team of Ninetology Malaysia comprising of Sean Ng (Chief Executive Officer), Marco Beh (Chief Operations Officer), Shian (Chief Finance Officer), Vijian Chan (Chief Marketing Officer), and Eddy Tay (Head of Channel); Michael Lee (General Manager, Property Management and Operations of Plaza Low Yat), and celebrities such as Z-Chen, Iqwal Hafiz, and Sasi the Don.

Earlier last month, Ninetology Malaysia also launched their U9 series at KL Hilton Hotel, Malaysia. The “Unite-as-One” power-infused technology with the urbanite profile was presented in three models: The X1, Z1, and Z1+, which are new and stylish devices engineered to meet the human needs of speed, precision and high levels of engagement. For more information on Ninetology U9 smartphones, visit www.ninetology.com/u9



“We are very proud to be in strategic partnership with MediaTek Inc, the leading fabless semiconductor company for wireless communications and digital multimedia solutions.  MediaTek’s invaluable support in providing us with high performance and reliable information communications solutions, as well as highly integrated and customized solutions, has significantly shortened our time-to-market, enhanced our product competitiveness, and also bring a better overall user experience. We are currently second largest in terms of mobile device market share. With the introduction of the U9 series, we hope to further strengthen Ninetology’s position as well as to grab a sizeable share in the Premium Smart Phones category,” said Mr. Sean Ng Chee Heng (Chief Executive Officer, Ninetology Marketing Sdn. Bhd.).


Mr. Arthur Wang, Senior Director, Head of EMSM, Mediatek Inc. receiving the Certificate of Appreciation from Mr. Sean Ng, CEO of Ninetology Marketing Sdn. Bhd.

The U9 series smart phones with 16GB ROM/1GB RAM of internal memory are ideal for viewing videos, playing games and other content with super-fast connectivity, are powered by Android 4.2 and a MediaTek MT6589 1.2GHz Quad-core processor, in which would deliver a richer smart phone experience at a competitive price. Customers enjoy access to more than thousands of applications including social network, productivity and utilities, entertainment, and appstore. They have display screens of 4.8” (X1), 5.7” (Z1) and 5.5” (Z1+) respectively. They are slim and light and would be a stylish and durable companion for upbeat lifestyles.

At the launch, Ninetology also revealed their newly appointed Product Spokesperson, Z-Chen, a Malaysian Mandopop singer, also fondly known as the R&B Little Prince.  “As a singer and urbanite myself, I can truly appreciate the U9 series.  The U9 smart phones truly understand my needs as an individualist with various interests and a strong desire for freedom.  With the U9 series, there are unlimited possibilities to enrich my lifestyle and illuminate my unique personality, work and music. I feel that I am always united-as-one with my U9 smart phone in one seamless human-technology integration,” said Chen.

十年 換來了什麽?

最近發生了一些事,讓我想回味一下10年的光陰。。。

十年内,你又做了什麽呢?

回顧我的十年,15歲的青春少艾,到現在25嵗的碩士生。
從一個傻乎乎的小女孩,到朝向自己的目標前進的女生。

十年,真的可以改變很多事情。

十年前,我只是一個窩在家的嬌嬌女。
十年后,我隻身在外,自己打理自己的生活。

十年前,我和她,還有說有笑,打打鬧鬧。
十年后,我和她,形同陌路,點頭之交。

十年前,我對他,十分仰望。
十年后,我對他,沒有期望。

十年前,我不知道她的存在。
十年后,我習慣了她的存在。

無論是好的變壞的,壞的變好的,
我們都無法改變,只能接受。

雖然由好的變壞的,很難被接受。
但是,我們還是得學習接受。
畢竟,這些都是我們在這世界“漫長”的旅途中的其中幾個轉折站。

到底,十年可以換來什麽東西?
十年,
換來的是一堆無法買來的經驗;
一段美妙的人生旅程;
還有,一次次的喜怒哀樂,愛恨情仇。
雖然這些十年都不一定快樂,
只要好好享受,這些都將會是未來最美好的回憶。。。

五月天 諾亞方舟 大馬站

在等待這場演唱會的當兒,我也經歷了很多事情。。。

從2011年年底,得知諾亞方舟起航開始,我就下定決心,大馬站一定不可以缺席!
那一年,是我大四,畢業做的那一年。
一直在考慮,要繼續深造,還是要踏入社會
然而,聽了《有些事現在不做一輩子都不會做》,下定決心,我一定要繼續我想做的事 - 當一個研究生,繼續的深造。

爲了可以買到好位置,2012年的農曆年的紅包利是錢,全數收在我的枕頭底。
深怕把它存進銀行,那筆錢就會不知不覺的花掉,我就登不到諾亞方舟了。
苦等了一年,方舟航過大馬,直奔新加坡。。。那時的心情,很悲傷,很失落。。。
不過我有一個學姐,把拍到的照片email給我,和我分享諾亞方舟的激動~ (好過沒有!)
新加坡站(還沒官方互動熒光棒)

之後,終于得知大馬站正式開跑了!辛辛苦苦的買到了票,慢慢的期待五月天的到來~

貼心的阿信與怪獸,還親自來謝票!
Paradigm Mall 謝票會
可惜,謝票會當晚,姐姐傳來簡訊,說外婆快不行了。。。
從Paradigm Mall開車回家的同時,眼淚決堤了。。。
兩天后,在駕車趕回家鄉的路上,外婆也就走了。。。
和外婆的回憶湧了出來,想起了《乾杯》的MV。。。
一切的一切,一幕幕的重現,似乎像昨天才發生的事。。。

收拾好心情,回到崗位繼續努力,就剩期待已久的諾亞方舟。。。

就在星期五(3月1日)的傍晚,收到了一封email,來自Station One Leisure Cafe
内容: 恭喜你獲得兩張五月天3月3日的演唱會入門票!
興奮極了,本以爲沒機會看兩場(因爲沒工作,沒收入,拮据的過著生活),
殊不知,天外飛來的票!!! 這是命中注定麽?

謝謝Station One Leisure Cafe!

3月2日 - 首場:
瘋狂極了!!!很多很美的回憶~
傻傻的跟著士傑的伴舞跳了一下~
香蕉區們很棒!藍色奇跡的彩虹驚喜很棒!
大家也很配合!超棒!
當阿信唱著“溫柔”然後紙片滿天飛時,我有了流淚的衝動。。。
倔強彩虹 (陳信宏主唱大人,你喜歡麽?)

溫柔雪花
石頭走過來我那邊的伸展台時,那很親切的笑容,看了很窩心。
怪獸的魅力吉他,深深地把我們那一區的粉絲給迷倒了!
魅力團長

3月3日 - 末場
五月天唱了我很喜歡的孫悟空,看到他們唱這首歌時,跳起來的那一幕,真的很有魅力。。。
當阿信說完“朋友論”舉起手,一起乾杯時,眼淚掉下來了。。。
第一場拍不到,第二場補囘
你的那一句,“我都聽到”,那些陪伴了五月天那麽多年的,都哭垮了。。。
《憨人》時,把我們的歌聲抱入你的懷抱,直達你的心,真的很感動。。。
謝謝五月天,在2013年的春天(雖然大馬一年四夏),給了我那麽那麽那麽多,那麽那麽那麽深刻的回憶。。。

”還是要告別~還是放棄海拔以下的世界~你會裝進什麽回憶紀念在行李裏面?”
我會把《諾亞方舟》演唱會裝進裏面!



“人生中,總要有一次的五月天演唱會。
之前,我錯過了一次又一次。
今年,五月天首次在馬來西亞辦兩場演唱會。
今年,我首次連看兩場的演唱會。
謝謝 Mayday五月天
我們最愛的-東方披頭四-五月天MayDay

Bloggers Help to Spread Love for the Children at the Penang Shan Children’s Home Association




Penang, 3rd February 2013 — About 40 bloggers and public visited the Penang Shan Children’s Home

The event is made possible by Crowdpot Sdn Bhd (Event Organizer), Ninetology Malaysia, SUBWAY® (Suntech, iAvenue, & Leith Street branches), Chatime Malaysia, Langkawi Saga Travel & Tours Sdn. Bhd. and Alextan Artworks.


Penang Shan Children’s Home (PSCH) began as a dream and initiative of Dr. S Balakrishnan in the year 2005. This is a non-religious and a non-profit, non-governmental organization catering to the needs of orphans, neglected children, dysfunctional families and single parents. The home was built and officially launched on 14th December 2008 by Madam Chan Siew Har. PSCH’s mission is to maximize the attractive opportunities that are stored in the children; to make something happen; to change the ways that things are and to create something that no one else has ever created before for the children, to explore for opportunities; to provide guidance and course correction; maintaining focus on being consistent and persistent. The objectives are both short and on a long term basis. The short term objective is to provide all the children with a safe and supportive environment. The focus will be on the development of physical, mental, emotional, educational, social and recreational skills that will create awareness to structure and mould the child’s future. The longer term development includes the options that are available for the child’s future, supporting them to complete the tertiary education preferably to University level. For those who are unable to complete the basic education, they would be trained in developing their skills by educating them in skill training centers. Through home visits and working with parents, they would like to ensure that eventually the child is reunited with his/her family thus becoming the backbone of the family.

Briefings

The Children’s Protection Society (CPS) began as an initiative of Dato’ Nazir Ariff when he was President of the Rotary Club in Penang (1991). It is a non-profit, non-governmental organization catering to the needs of neglected and/or abandoned children in Penang. It was officially launched in April 1992 by Puan Sri Chua Kah Peng. The objectives of CPS are both immediate and longer-term. The immediate objective is to provide children at risk with a safe, supportive and conducive environment (Shelter). Their concerned and focused areas include the emotional and physical development, education, social and recreational skills. At the same time, CPS aims to work with parents and other family members, so that the child can eventually be reunited with his/her family. In the pipeline, they hope to support projects to enhance community-based facilities for childcare and development in areas where such facilities are lacking. They also try to promote a more general awareness of the issues relating to children at risk by being involved in training and discussions. Hence they work together with various government and non-government organizations to help to develop longer-term strategies and goals.
