I'm now FAYSE!!
I'm now FAYSE!!Thanks to Brenda, who "accidentally" spelled my name wrongly in the birthday wish card we dedicated to Victor on his past birthday! "
FAYSE" is her creation! It was at McD Bangsar, i remember...hmmm...never mind, cut the crap!
FAYSE = FAYES...suppose to be pronounced the same way. I'm certain! Cause I've checked the actual pronunciation using the speech application I found on my computer! U should hv it too. I think it's located in the Control Panel>Speech (just to share)
Somehow, many (most of the people) pronounce it wrongly...previously it was FAYES. So from the type face, people start creating and apply their own pronunciation over the words. Some read [fe-yes], some [fa-yes],...worst version I've heard comes from McD delivery service operator...
"Hello McDonald's Delivery Service, I'm XXX. How may I assist u?""Hi, my number is 012-345xxxx!""Hold on please!...Mmmmm, is this Mr. [FA-IS]!" "Ahhh...Yes!" I hate the way it sounds. But I'm too lazy to explain already...
Gosh, now my name sounds like a Malay one. Faiz? Fayiz?
Whatever it is, I don't like it. I'm not a racist! But I just don't like it!
Again, thanx to Brenda, I found a solution to this problem, this ever lasting headache of mine. Even my dad laughs at my name at times.
Now I think it is better spelled FAYSE then FAYES too. I started using this name since I was in university. For a fresh start after a long depression, i thought! I neglected a fact that FAYE WONG has a similar spelling in her name too. I just wanna make it special, at least something sounds like my chinese name naturally. But literally I became a follower! And not long after I decided to use the name FAYES, there born a chinese pop rock band in Taiwan named F.I.R where the lead singer's name is also FAYE...hai...I was the 2nd, but since I wasn't famous, I became a follower again when I made my name in ATQ2006. The world knows FAYE from F.I.R before me. So, I became copycat again!
Coincidentally, they were the judges for the event! Is this fated? But i like her...FAYE is a nice person! We sang on stage together during the finale, gosh! What a wonderful experience!?
Ok, again, I got misled! Cut the crap! Go back to the topic!
Yes, i wasn't kidding. I decided to change my english prefered name to
FAYSE from today onwards.
Who ever see this blog post, please update your phone book entry!Thanks a zillion!

I'm just too young...
上个星期天，我推却了几个朋友单位的邀约，放空我周末的时间就为了要去meeting！
我鼓起勇气参加了我住的Condo的Residents Association的常年大会。希望可以从会议中获取一些与Condo有关的消息。不过，我的真正用意是要去投诉及去了解一些有关保安的事情。
会议厅里，人数不多，但全都是比我年长的Uncle 和 Aunty，Pakcik 和 Makcik；唯独我最年纪轻！一张张从未遇见的陌生脸孔，让我觉得有点尴尬。因为，也许在他们眼里，我根本不属于那地方。他们全都是以Owner身份出席的。先申明，我也是Owner喔！
好，会议在延迟后的半句钟开始了！一切照议程进行，不久后终于开始聊事情了。我就趁机提出了一些我不明白的保安问题，是有关visitor's car park的疑问。
话说，曾经有保安人员阻拦我的visitor进入condo的范围。Visitors必须呈交他们的驾驶执照以作记录。但我曾几何时也见过一些visitors只要向保安亭里正打磕睡的保安人员手一挥，电动门就随即为他们而开了。问题来了，不是说好要register的吗？还有visitor把车park过夜的问题，是可以还是不可以？这样的系统根本就没有standardized嘛！是安怎？
之前发生一些让我不满的状况，事情过了，我也不想再多说些什么，所以决定省略不写了。
为了这课题，我以Owner的身份提出来了。要的只是有人可以好好的让我理解事情的运作系统和保安人员面对的问题和守则是怎么样的就好了嘛！ 我只是想问，又不是要吵架！
当中有位Encik Abdullah，就以一种莫名其妙的语调向我解释和作出反驳。感觉好像在教他的小孩一样，有他讲没有我讲。声量又比我大，我根本没什么反问的机会。如此一来，我干脆装懂好了。深深了解我的意见和想法根本不被重视，也许我真是太年轻to be a Owner. Whatever la！所以，我随即装懂及不停点头回应，口是心非地说着 "I see, Ok Ok...Alright...I'm fine with it...Ok Ok! Thanks a lot!"
闲掉！闲掉！
他们syok sendiri的聊着聊着，终于到了要改选理事会的议程了。很多人都提名那些讲话很犀利的人当要职，Encik Abdullah 和 Mr. Desmond是其中人选。因为大家希望凭着他们的势力可以帮residents向management office争取更多的福利。 我也希望可以work things out...
上一届的主席就坐在我对面。正当大伙儿敷衍式的提名着他们心中的人选时，他却问我是否有兴趣加入理事会。我冷笑了一下，然后再很有礼貌的回应他，"No thanks! I'm just too young! Haha!"
没有发言权，参加又有何用？
浪费了3个钟，很没意思。最后带着一种很sien的心情走上楼去了。难怪我在推却朋友邀约时，他们都不约而同的说，“去这种meeting干嘛？”
明白了！年纪轻，别人会当你无知，或不成熟。所以你的意见，是worthless的。
哎，no next time了！大人的游戏，你们自己好好玩吧！我很忙！:-)
p/s: Encik Abdullah 和 Mr. Desmond 分别被选上当主席和秘书。乍到！Best of luck to Mentari Condo!Labels: 《嘿！这就是生活》

人，因梦想伟大。。。
说得一点都没错！人，是真的因梦想而伟大！昨晚看了半句钟的ATQ2007的Updates节目，有了很多不同的体验和感触。也许这一次是完全站在局外人的角度去看整件事情吧！所以发现了一些从来都没留意到的人、事、物！参赛者为了抓住一个可以在专业评审面前唱歌的机会，不惜苦候12句钟、排队也排了一整天，从白天排到晚上。若是平时，我相信对于其他事情，他们应该没有那么多的耐性吧？对于男生们，我觉得他们不可能有耐心去陪自己的女朋友在购物商场“血拼”2句钟，更何况是12粒钟？！对于现代的女生们，我相信也没几位可以静静的呆在家陪自己男朋友玩20分钟的PS2吧？更何况是12粒钟？（她们也许会说，“你怎么都不理我？你成天只会抱着你的电动而已，那你干脆娶它好了！）可见，为了梦想，什么都可以！苦候12句钟，挨饿、挨悃、呆站、呆等，为的只是可以在专业评审面前唱一句！真的是一句喔！有些甚至才唱3个字而已乐叻！就仅仅3个字！类似的情形，去年也发生过。不过去年主持的时候，只觉得有点搞笑，总觉得参赛者应该好好的为自己负责，准备好了才来啊！所以，我都不曾去思考参赛者为了一个表现才华与自我的机会所付出的时间和精神也是值得我去学习的！对，就是那份对梦想的执着！要追梦者等12句钟，他就等！唱一句，就一句！3个字，就3个字！这次被淘汰，我肯定他们下一次还会来！再等、再唱、再被叮！叮叮叮！有些人真的不懂自己的专长真的不在歌唱这方面，但有些人明明知道自己不怎么行，还是尽所有能力去prepare、去尝试、去等、去唱、去被叮！这份勇气，我应该学习！重拾信心是今天开始的大前题！可见，为了梦想，什么都可以！我呢？为了梦想，可以做些什么？好好思考一下，再公告天下！大家加油！不过奉劝在座各位，歌手是很容易就可以当上的！没错！但是，想当“大明星”，却一点都不简单！需要很多唱歌以外的条件。包括，运气、社交能力和承受舆论压力的能力！这是最难的部分！比飙高音还要可怕！Are you up to it? 你们准备好了吗？Labels: 《当归人生鸡汤》
