Chage and Aska

Yes, it is "Chage and Aska", not "Change and Ask her"... When i was studying in form 3, emmmm that was in 1991 when i was in the morning session, there was a Japanese Drama entitled "Say Yes". It was aired around 2pm and i used to watched it with mom. She loved it! Not that i want to watch the mellow drama, it was because there were no astro or internet or any special gadget at that time and we only have 3 TV channels, TV1, TV2 and TV3. I can say that i had no choice at that time. It was either to study or to relax while watching TV.
"Say Yes" was about a not so good looking guy, not so rich, worked at a couple matching industry i guess, whom fell in love with his own client, a beautiful musician from a well known Orchestra somewhere in Japan. It was just like the beauty and the beast, only this time, the beast would not turn into a charming Prince but he still remain as the beast. He is a middle age man while she is around early twenties like that. You can surf the youtube to find out more about it and i rated it 7 over 10 since there were no zombies in the drama, else i have to rate it higher.... hehehehe...

Below is the finale of the story where at least there is an unexpected fairy tale.... It was one of favourite drama since then...

Ok, talking about the group Chage and Aska, i didn't know that they were the one whom sang that song only when i was studying in Penang, that was in 1994, late Ps Esther brought us to Sunshine Square, a shopping complex in Penang. I dropped by to a music shop selling cassettes. At that time, there were no CD, VCD or DVD or Blue Ray yet, only a simple cassettes which cost more than RM20 for good quality items. So the shop owner was playing that song. It took my attention and immediately i bought the cassette even though i don't understand what the lyrics were all about since it was all, pure Japanese songs. Each day when i listen to it in my dorm, i realised that some of the songs are beautifully done. Besides Say Yes, there's another one became my favourite. Watch and enjoy the youtube below. It brought so much memory of my Penang life when i was there. In fact it is my favorite until now.

My Spec Collection

I love specticles. I started to have one when i was in uni. My first spec was given (actually i took from him without permission - hehehehe)by a good friend of mine Alex Buguk from Sabah (now a Pastor). His spec looks so cool and i like it. I will attached the pic soon. I wore it from year 1998 - 1999 and yest, it was my university years. After graduating and i had my won job i found out that the sunglass was not up to date. So i bought myself a sunglass from the United colors of Benneton which i wore from 1999 to 2003. I kinda like this one since i can change the glass but left the original frame. I think i changed the color of my glass several times, maroon, jade green and lastly brown. But it was quite fragile but still looks fantastic on me. I never like black.. Here are the collection of my sunglasses and rayban..

Below is the picture of me drinking Coconut water in Lundu.

2000 - 2003 - Camel production. I like the frame tho but it is quite useless especially when the sun is shining bright because the glass is so in light brown, more to dark yellow and the ray was quite easy to penetrate and hit my skin. I wore this to the team and building spirit seminar in Camp Permai Kuching.

2003-2006 - A collection from Adidas. I wore this to Gua Niah, Miri. I like this since it was quite big and the very dark brown glass helps to protect my eyes from the rays.

2007-2008 This is a summer collection from Levis. I favor this one. Basically it hides the brown glass helps to avoid the sunrays from hitting my chin and eyes. Infact i wore this on my a month trip to Germany and yes it was summer!

2008-2011

This is another adidas sport collection. It has a flat surface, light and quite modern. The dark brown glass was so useful to avoid the reflection of the white snow which can affect yor eyes. I wore this when i went to Seoul, South Korea. I was amazed...

Currently i have no sunglass nor rayban, Actually some were stolen, some were misplace, some were broken and some were damaged. Soon if i have money, i would like to get myself a good sunglass which might makes me look awsome once again... Cheers!

Birthdays

I love birthdays. I don't remember the birthdays that i had when i was small but there were few pictures of me behind a large cake with 1 candle in on the middle of the cake. And behind me holding me aroud her arm was my beloved mom, she wore green dress and she had curly hair, she was as beautiful as today :) So i knew it was my 1st birthday and i was so cute... a baby who was so fergile and naive. I think that date must be on the 29th August 1977! Oh, ya, it was held at our home in Lanang Camp, Sibu. Yes, i was the most happy person that house :)
When i was young, we always celebrate birthdays regardless my parents have money or not. I sitll remember during one of my birthday, dad cook full kuali of mi goreng Indomi and that's it. But i was very very happy eventhough it was without candles and cake not knowing that they were saving money for more other important things like tomorrow's meal, school spenditure and bills...
Another birthday i remembered was when i was in my 1st year under graduate in Tronoh. My friend and i ride our motorbike and we park at the Mengelmbu polce station, took a taxt to Excelsior Hotel Ipoh and celebrate our birthday there accompany by the band from Philipines.... hahahah, it was a great moment because we celebrate our own birthday in a solo way.. ya it was lonely but memorable...in my 2nd year i think it was in 1998 where my junior celebrate it with me in the hostel. They had a surprised birthday party and bought me a cake and added to that, we watched vcd(no dvd at that time), Snake together.
I was able to celebate 23rd birthday at home, a month after my graduation. The Lagin's family came to join me because at that time, Ivy was still in Sabah, Late Bro Igat in Kapit, Dolina was with her family while Bro Anddy was still in UPM, so left my parents. But it was fun tho...
When we grow older, birthdays seem to be less and less calebrated. it depends many factors such as time, cash, individu and etc. To me it would be in money. SInce last year my own csh flow wasn't that encouraging. Just enough to support my own family. I promised myself that once i have enough, i will start to celebrate my birthdays like years ago. I will invite friends and i will have good food and drink served. I will not be sad anymore and the tears that is shed will become the tears of joy and laughter. I will celebrate my wife's birthdays, my parents birthdays and surprised them with nice presents. It's just the matter of time Davidson Toda, it may not be now, tomorrow or this year, but once the day come, just be ready!

Happy Birthday dear beloved wife Snah 02022014. May the Lord Bless you abundantly and guide you everywhere you go. I will love you forever.
Happy Birthday mom, 03022014. May God protects you and meet your needs. I will love you mom!
