Happy 10 ♥♥♥

Weee !!! :D Its the 3rd day of Chineze "Niu" YEAR d.

I've made my CNY wish on CNY's eve,
I've talked a bit about angpau on the 1st day of CNY,
And I've touched about family reunion on the 2nd day.

So, I will touch about "Happyness" in this post. What is Chinese New Year without Happyness aight? ^_^

After posting up the video yesterday, it has made me realized that there is a group of people that don't watch TV. Hence, I've decided to put Astro Chinese New Year 2009 Song: Fa Da Chai in this post.

And what is Chinese New Year without firework aight? So, here you go !!! :D

Finally, for those who is looking forward to lead a happier life this year. I've got some a reminder from Barbara on 10 ways to live a happy life.

No. 1: Accept what is
The number 1 cause of suffering and unhappiness is wanting life to be something it’s not.

No. 2: Want what you have
The number 2 cause of suffering and unhappiness is wanting what you don’t have.

No. 3: Be honest with yourself
The number 3 cause of suffering and unhappiness is not communicating honestly with yourself.

No. 4: Investigate your stories
The number 4 cause of suffering and unhappiness are the scary stories you tell yourself about life and the world.

No. 5: Mind your own business
The number 5 cause of suffering and unhappiness is minding other people’s business.

No. 6: Follow your passion and accept the consequences
The number 6 cause of suffering and unhappiness is not doing what you want because you think people will disapprove

No. 7: Do the right thing and accept the consequences
The number 7 cause of suffering and unhappiness is not doing the right thing because you’re afraid of the consequences.

No. 8: Deal with what is in front of you and forget the rest
The number 8 cause of suffering and unhappiness is shadowboxing with illusions instead of dealing with the reality in front of you.

No. 9: Know what is what
The number 9 cause of suffering and unhappiness is wanting absolute satisfaction from relative experiences.

No. 10: Learn to see beyond impermanence
The number 10 cause of suffering and unhappiness is believing we become nothing.

Finally, again ... I would like to wish all my readers a VERY HAPPY Chinese New Year. May the year leads you to the path of Good Fortune, Health and Happyness ♥

LOVe Potion No. 9 ♥♥♥

Ah-boo-chak !!! :D

Hows your reunion dinner? Was it great? Mine was awesome !!! Its awesome not because of the food but it was because all the family members are together, sitting on the same table and spending time together. I guess this is CNY reunion dinner main objective :D

Have you watched Petronas' Chinese New Year 2009 advert? If not, here it goes ♥

I saw this advert when I visited Bulat / Estee's house for "pai lin". After the advert finished, she said "Joey, why the advert so sad 1? Its Chinese New Year, they are not suppose to make people feel sad. It is suppose to be something HAPPY".

After hearing that statement, it got me thinking for a few seconds.

I then answered her question by saying,

Well, the reason why they makes such advertisement was because people don't appreaciate what they have. They only learn how to appreciate it once they lost it.

Seriously, the truth is hurting. A lot of people tend to make mistake and not appreciating what they have until they lost it. Once they've lost it, they tend to feel regret of what happened. I've learnt this lesson the hard way myself.

I hate to admit this, but I think I am having a mind block now. A mind block of being afraid to lose something precious in my life due to my unappreciative attitude. Therefore, I've tried to appreciate what I have more than in the past.

I've known some people who never spend time with their love ones, even on this CNY. So, please take a short moment to think if what you are doing is right or wrong.

Life is SHORT. When its TOO LATE, Sorry is NOT enough.

Keep LOVe in Your heart. A life without it is like a sunless gardens where the flowers are dead. :)

Talking about awesome-ness, my eight post in Ahboochak BLOG falls on the 1st day of Chinese New Year. Hence, I would like to wish a Merry Chineze Niu Ear 2009 to everyone who is reading this :D

How is your 1st day of CNY doing? Manage to collect a lot of ang pau anot? I've receive 1 ang pau so far. So, if you received lotsa ang paus this yr, you know what to do la ha :D (for those who don't know, what i mean was to share some wif me :D)

For those who plan to go out today, I would like to inform you that there will be a solar eclipse that can be seen in Malaysia today, the phenomenon is expected to happen as early as 4.30 PM to 7 PM. :D

For those who don't know what is solar eclipse, please CLICK HERE to find out more about it.

For those who've watched HEROES would definitely know what I am talking about and for those who couldn't bother what it is, I have a screenshot taken from Australia Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

For those who is interested to find out more, you can take a look at NASA website on the following address http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2009Jan26Agoogle.html.

For those who passionate photographer, equip yourself with your favourite gadgets and give a best shot on this rare phenomenon.

AND for Chinese who believe in orthodox stuff, this phenomenon is said to be a sign of bad luck as the sun is covered by the moon on first day of Chinese New Year. If you are out and witness this phenomenon (changes from bright to dark), it would give you a bad luck too. So, you decide by yourself whether you want to witness this phenomenon or just hide in the house. If you really wish to find out more about this, please take a look at The STAR Mag - Page 25 - January 2009.

*** WARNING *** DO NOT VIEW SOLAR ECLIPSE WITH NAKED EYES (please read)

The most important thing to keep in mind when viewing the Sun, including during a partial eclipse, is to never look at the Sun directly without proper viewing glasses. Sunglasses do not work -- you will damage your eyes permanently if you try to watch the eclipse with regular sunglasses.

Find out more on how to view, photograph solar eclipse the right way at http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/solarsystem/solar_eclipse_view.html and http://science.howstuffworks.com/solar-eclipse3.htm.

Thats it for today. Thank you for reading Ahboochak-dot-blogspot-dot-com :D

As i said on the earlier post, 2008 is a great year for me. There is a lot of memorable days in 2008 for me.

One of it is 10th December 2008.

I've got 3 events to attend that night and I can only make it to 2 of the events.

I will start of with an event that I couldn't make it, the event was Space Chimps Movie Premiere in Pavilion, KL. I've got 6 tickets for that and since I've a clash in events, I've given the tickets to my friends :)

I've attended Hannah Tan's Farewell Party in SOMO, Mount Kiara that night. It was a great event that I will have to write about it in a specially dedicated post on my blog in the near future :)

After Hannah Tan's farewell, I headed to Amber Chia's Birthday Party at Red Square, KL. Again, I'll have to write about this separately. Sorry ya? Don't bite me :P

The other day to remember on 2008 is definitely my BIRTHDAY celebrations !!! I've sorta celebrated my birthday 4 times this year :D

1st celebration (10 July 2008 night) was with Ms. Bulat a.k.a Estee at my house. Just the 2 of us with a small cupcake and 26 pcs of tiny candles .... romantik kan? :P

2nd celebration (11 July 2008 night - the actual date) was with the Kokorobox.Net gang in 1 of the Cafe in Seksyen 17. Thank you so much to bebee for organizing this party and all kokorians who've made this party possible.

3rd Celebration (12 July 2008 night) was with Shazzy's and gang at Carls Jr, One Utama then McDonald, Centrepoint. It was a small celebration but it is a memorable one. Thank you to Shazzy for organizing the whole thing :)

4th Celebration (26 July 2008 night) was with Neshimaru and her buddies at Pei Yong's house. Thank you Nesh for inviting me as a part of the pot luck cum birthday party.

Woah, after writing until here only I realized I've got so many memorable days in 2008 and most of it have to be elaborated in specialially dedicated post.

I'll tell you what? I will make a summary for all of it in few parts first. Then I will blog about each of it whenever the time allow k? Sorry oh ... Jangan marah at me k? I takut.
