So this week I was able to be the actor for our weekly Leaderonomics Top 10 that is made just in time for Christmas, check out my top 10 gifts!
Sometimes we forget to give a simple “thank you” for a job well done or just to express our appreciation. Showing gratitude is not limited to just saying thanks – there are other ways to show it too. Sit back and enjoy the show as we feature the Top 10 Ways To Show Gratitude To Your Employees this holiday season!
I was driving on NKVE last Thursday and this is what I captured.
Do watch the video before you further read what I’m about to say below.
I don’t think it’s the end of the world tomorrow simply because there isn’t enough epidermic catastrophe that signifies the end of the world. Sure the world isn’t as peachy as it was and so many major natural disasters had happened during the last few years but I really don’t see the world ending tomorrow.
But if in any case I’m proven wrong within the next few hours. I just wanna say how beautiful life is and I thank everyone that has made an impact in my life. God bless us all!
NASA telling the world that it will not end tomorrow.
For all the fans of Jayesslee. I was lucky enough to be able to follow the twins around while they are in Malaysia back in July to film them. So finally, the video is ready and do check it out.
The video has got 2 background songs. The first song is an unreleased live recording of their new song in their upcoming album which will be available on iTunes soon.
I know lots of you are fans of Jayesslee but unfortunately I’m not one. I’ve heard one of their earlier covers cause my colleague showed them to me but they didn’t quite catch my attention all that much… yet.
So last week I was fortunate enough to be their official videographer during their tour in Malaysia. I’ve had lots of experience with big stars because of the networks and the nature of my job. Organized a few rave parties and worked in a number of gigs when I was into events. So to me, Jayesslee was just another pair of stars.
You can tell I wasn’t all that excited about seeing them. I knew nothing about their background or names or how to differentiate the twins. My friends were more excited than I am. But this all changed as I actually get to know them better in person and hear them live. They are not just another pair of pretty face trying to make a music career.
They are both really down to earth and talented, friendly and most importantly – dedicated. These girls really work hard. They would go over and over a song just to make sure it sounded right during performance.
I salute their spirit and faith. Looking forward to your new album Jayesslee!
Lastly, the video filmed and edited by me!
Girls frozen in time
I love waterfalls. This time we traveled quite far up all the way to Bentong, Pahang. Lata Hammer is best accessible using 4×4 cars due to the rough terrain that may damage the undercarriage of your normal sedan or saloon car.
The hike is a simple but not direct walk in the park. Our group got split up and the ones ahead miss the sign and went all the way to the end of the road where they only see a river.
Upon arriving the waterfall. We actually caught up with some friends who were they earlier than us. Aren’t there anymore waterfalls in Malaysia that we actually met our friend at the very same waterfall on a Sunday? As you can see from the picture, there are plenty of room for you to setup your picnic area or tent for overnight stay. There was this other family who has set up a tent on the higher ground and stayed the night before.
The magical thing about Lata Hammer Waterfalls are the butterflies. There are a species seen fluttering around and even the Rajah Brooke butterfly. I couldn’t take a picture of it but the video below shows.
Like all waterfalls, the water is cold. Lata Hammer has water so cold that I could feel my legs tingling whenever I swim. The current is very strong near the waterfall so please becareful not to get sucked by the vortex. We spend most of our time trying to balance on a piece of super long log we found and jumping into the water from higher grounds. The waterfall is so deep that even by holding your breath and trying to reach the bottom is nearly impossible. So it’s pretty safe if you know how to jump off cliffs and not fall right at the foot of the hill.
Lastly, just jump!
Halong Bay is located in Vietnam. Halong Bay is made up of about 2000 small islands scattered around as seen from the picture above. Before we get on to the video where I swam in Halong Bay, let me show you around first.
The pier where we get on a small boat to our Junk Ship.
This is the ship where me and my friends stayed for 1 night.
You’ll see islands and islands for the entire journey at Halong Bay.
Chilling on the Junk Ship drinking Vietnamese coffee is second to none.
We visited the floating villages. There are several floating village where villagers spend their life from cradle to grave here.
There is a beautiful cave for you to visit too.
Now to the video where I swam in Halong Bay
I’ve always wondered what does it feel to jump off from a high ground into the sea just like in the movies. After experiencing it, I want to tell you that it’s just amazing. Yes, I did feel the fear for a split second when I jumped off the ledge. Your guts are being pushed upwards towards your throat and you feel like your heart is gonna leave you. But as soon as you stabilizes the thrills kick in. I jumped several times after and the fear remained but the thrill adds on.
“Visit Halong Bay if you’re in Vietnam, else you’ve not been to Vietnam.”
When I was younger, seeing performers eating fire at carnivals, circus or street side always marvels me.
Today I have the chance to try it out and killed the curiosity.
Carlsberg pulled a stunt on several unsuspecting couples going to a movie theater. They filled a Belgian cinema with the baddest looking bikers, and left only two seats in the middle empty. Their reactions were priceless.
