I'll Move On

"Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid or terrified because of them,
for the Lord your God goes with you;
he will never leave you nor forsake you"
~ Deuteronomy 31:6



*****



at times when you find nobody to
turn to in times of all frustration
it is tough at times when you face
burdens, hardships and challanges
keep it going and never give up
then continue to MOVE ON...



this song at most of the time to
cheer me up and encourage me to
MOVE ON and face all these hardships
listen and understand the meaningful
lyrics below and never give up to MOVE ON




I'll Move On - Olivia Ong

This road that I'm taking twists and turns
My life my chance turning dreams into reality
Down this path faced with many things
Sometimes I feel like giving up and turn away



Can't seem to go on
And I've been thru' this before
Now where am I? Where do I stand?
A little lost here
But I'll remember
All those times you've bought me through
I'd be a fool to give up cos' the goal is near



I'll move on I'll go on
Lord I will take your hand
And you will guide me along
Survive thru' this storm
So I say come what may
I'll hold on to my hope
Yes I will walk down this road
And my passion drive will lead me on



Here I am Once again caught in the rain
Looking back I've come so far and I want to carry on



Take a step at a time it's alright
Even through this rain
I want to smile again



Don't hold back now
And I've been thru' this before
Now where am I? Where do I stand?
A little lost here
But I'll remember
All those times you've bought me thru'
I can feel the sun shining down on me



Here I am Here I am
Lord I will take your hand
And you will guide me along
Survive thru' this storm
So I say come what may
I'll hold on to my hope
Yes I will walk down this road
And my passion drive will lead me on

Valentine's Day

waking up in this beautiful morning seemed
has potioned by a fairytale godmother whom
hope the goddaughter could have sweet
while waiting for the prince charming
to arrive and have a good ending



random questions could be heard today:

"Where will you be celebrating?"
"What have you get for your love one?"
"What surprise will he be giving you?"



well, as for me it does not seemed to be
anything special from the questions been
asked above as i never had Valentine's
celebration and also friendship has the
singles gathering on Valentine's night



What is love?



Bible's 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 said:

" Love is patient, love is kind
it does not envy, it does not boast
it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs
love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth
it always protects, always trusts, always hopes
always perseveres. love never fails. "



in this special day let the couples
share their love with their valentines
while the singles could also share and
show your love to your friends and family



to share and show your love to someone
who is important and part of our life
is not only at special occasions like today
it is totally a routine practice should be



how far are you willing to go for love?
hope that the video below will inspire you
the messages that they would like to say




Happy Valentine's Day! 情人节快乐！

Phone? Tablet? It’s a Phablet - Galaxy Note!

Samsung Galaxy Note is the newly known as “phablet” which combines the function of a smartphone with a screen size of a tablet. The 5.3” large screen accommodates function with a “S Pen” that could be more precise, faster and rich input similar to an actual pen.



Samsung Galaxy Note Studio roadshow is on going from 9th till 12th February at the following locations:

1. Kuala Lumpur: Oval Concourse (One Utama) – 9th till 12th February
2. Penang: Centre Court (First Avenue) – 10th till 12th February



My day of patience for 11 hours kick start as the following timeline:

11am – Crowds of the Samsung Galaxy Note Studio roadshow. This is the time where I started queuing up for the caricature drawing.




11:16am – The queue for the caricature drawing. Entrance of the queue was closed up. I was the last person in the queue itself.

This freelance photographer capturing a family portrait (whole family using Samsung Galaxy Note) waited in the queue for caricature drawing




2:00pm – The entrance of the queue been opened again. This lady (known as S), staff from Taylors Lake Side Campus in a wheel chair was behind me.



2:30pm – This family waited patiently behind me before the wheel chair lady was seen. They had the priority drawing as they bought the Samsung Galaxy Note on the spot.


Lady behind me started making noise, talked to the head of caricature drawing’s studio, gotten herself and her son a number to print her caricature on the T-shirt. The queue of printed caricature supposed to start from her.

A better explanation given here: advertising board has clearly stated that the free caricature printed on T-shirt, mug or photograph is based on sessions, it isn’t promised that all the public who queued up could be guaranteed to get the item that they choose to get. (The instructions were clear enough, DJ gave announcement too, why just can’t Malaysians listen attentively, ask or read instructions?)



4pm – This is the only time where I stood beside this sign in the caricature drawing queue. It was like few more people away till my turn.




5:30pm – Next, this is the second advertising banner or advertisement facing me during my wait in the queue. Close enough to be my turn, but still a family is ahead of me.




6pm – The crowds are still on the spot buying and questioning about the Samsung Galaxy Note, and buyers had the priority to not queuing up for the caricature drawings.




8pm – The lady whom known as S saw a roadshow staff, where she claimed to be Taylors’ student. My anger risen at that particular time as I'm next for the drawing, but the lady known as S and her son was given a priority by the so call roadshow staff (Taylors’ student) to head to the priority customer’s counter for the caricature drawing. This is JUMP QUEUE!



8:30pm – Luckily I wasn’t the only one who voiced up, people whom were still queuing behind me did the same thing. Managed to force the authorities to go by rule - follow the numbers distributed to the public!



9pm – There goes the end of my caricature drawing by this artist, Raihan Nordin, who had patience of accepting me as his last customer before he heads for his first break . I am now at the printing collection counter, and this roadshow staff, shown in the picture below told me to wait for another hour to collect my T-shirt. I can’t be bothered, went to have my dinner and came back to collect my T-shirt.





10:27 – This is the time where I collected my T-shirt.




Feedbacks to Samsung Event Management Department:
1. Allocation of CARICATURE ARTIST is insufficient
(break time allocated was insufficient for them)

2. CARICATURE MANAGEMENT of the item (T-shirt, Mug or Photo) changing is bad. No announcement given to notify the public who queued up for almost 8 hours for the caricature drawing.

3. few ROADSHOW STAFF bringing known friends (public who queued for the caricature drawing) to JUMP QUEUE

4. some ROADSHOW STAFF is unclear of their own duties, task briefing is unclear

5. some ROADSHOW STAFF is unclear of the Galaxy Note's promotion and price


Hope that the Samsung Event Management Department will have a better result to serve the public in the future roadshows or events.
