The Official Launch of ouryouth.my

Yesterday, I attended an event quite happening as it was attended by all the public and private universities in Kuching. Of course, not all the students are attending, only the selected one. I really don't know if it's an honour to be able to attend such event. Honestly, I'd rather stay at home.

Taib Mahmud arriving in his Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.

The event was held in Pullman Hotel, Colosseum I and the hall was full. The event started with a speech by some guy then by the Chief Minister of Sarawak himself. I did a recording of the speech by him, thought of uploading it here to share with all the youth. But his speech is so long that it lasted 30 minutes and I don't think a lot of people wanna' listen to him except if you're feeling too bore at the moment?

Anyways, the whole thing is to encourage us to register ourselves at ouryouth.my. It's a platform where we can voice out our ideas and thoughts for the development of Kuching and also as a social network platform where ideas can be shared and more. I believe they also update the news and events that are happening in Kuching.

The event lasted for more than 4 hours but I left earlier because I had something else to do. I think the coolest thing about that event is that I think I'll be on TV or the newspaper. Didn't check the news and paper today. If you happen to see my face, do let me know. :)

The other cool thing about this event is that I get to witness the power of those flashing cameras working at its best. It's like some super cool thing to look at and I even had a video about it. It's at the previous post.

Free magazine for each of us.

Lastly, I get to make myself to look like a clown.

Do check out the site though. Register yourself if you wanna' get involve.

Until then...

The Chief Minister of Sarawak

It feels like a celebrity is in the room. But in fact, it's Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud. The chief minister of Sarawak.

About Me

I think it's time to write something about me.

Hello everybody, my name is Mikhael. Yeap, it's true that it's a name given by myself and not by my parents. I like the name 'Michael' is because a lot of awesome people I know of uses that name too, such as Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, Michael Jackson, Michael Schumacher, Michael Kors, Michael Scolfield, and the lists goes on.

However, I changed the letter 'C' to the letter 'K' because I wanted it to look more special. I didn't really care how it is spelled. As long it's pronounced the same, then I'm fine with it.

I'm currently pursuing my Degree in Graphic Design. I currently am studying in a private institution in my hometown here in Kuching, but I'm going through a British Degree by Anglia Ruskin University. So meaning to say that I'll get a British Certificate once I graduated. Kinda cool right?

One of my assignment - SSPCA

The above attachment is one of the assignments I did and topic was SSPCA. I'll elaborate about that hopefully someday in near future.

My passion in Graphic Design was developed when I was sixteen, I was still in high school and I already started playing with photoshop. I started designing banners, avatars and signatures for forum. It was more of a game-related design. Now, it's kinda' obvious to me that I love to design for myself, and not for commercial usage. I'll explain about that someday in the future in my blog. I'm pretty sure and confident to say that I'm not gonna' work as a Graphic Designer in the future, but I'll probably gonna' put my skills into my business, as a hobby or it will be just merely a skill I possess.

Going through college to me is really just another process of life and I strongly believe that, education is overrated. I believe in other knowledges that will bring me somewhere in the future rather than just become another employee working a 9 to 5 job. It's a long story going through that kind of thought process, the people I have met for the past few months and how these events had changed my life.

My hobbies consists of playing basketball, bodybuilding and shopping. I know it's kinda' weird for a man to say that his hobby is shopping, but I really do enjoy shopping. The feeling when buying new stuffs feels good, that's a little crazy but I haven't really experience the feeling of shopping like mad. Another thing, I hate window shopping though. Except if I were surveying for goods. Of course, I enjoy cooking and eating the food I cooked as well.

I love dogs, I am a dog person. I love how dogs can be so connected to human beings. I love the process of raising up a dog from its puppyhood. I love training dogs, and I love to know what I am doing. I try to figure out the right way to handle a dog and it's another knowledge for me. When I do something, I love to do it right. It's normal to have failures in the process, but it's the effort and determination that matters. It's okay to fail, as it's better than not trying. Oh by the way, my favourite dog breed is the German Shepherd.

I wanna' travel to cool places. I dream of traveling to the States someday. I enjoy viewing cool skyscrapers, I enjoy watching the views and sceneries from great destinations, I enjoy watching porn and I enjoy experiencing big cities like New York, Miami and Dubai. In fact, my plan is to visit Dubai before the age of 30 and I'd love to spend some time over there enjoying the superb lifestyle of the rich people. Dubai is definitely a place like no other.

A book that I bought to understand more about dog training.

I'm a type of guy that is curious to find things out, if it happens to bother me. I'll try to get the answers no matter what. I'm also the type of guy that believes in myself and I really believe I can achieve something great if I really want it badly. It's all about how badly you want it.

There are also a few inspirational figure and public figure that I idolize that I wanna' share with you all. These are the people that I listen to and watch to  all the time.

Music Industry: Taiwanese Star, Jay Chou.

Singer, director, actor, producer and the list goes on. I listen to his songs since I was in primary school, and I'm still listening to them. I can't really list my favourite songs here as I love almost all of his songs. Almost..

Movie Industry: Will Smith, and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson



Will Smith is another huge movie star. I watched most of his films such as iRobot, Men in Black, Hitch, Pursuit of Happyness, and etcetera. Definitely a cool guy.



Former football star, former WWE Superstar and currently an actor. Enjoyed his film, definitely a great guy with cool personality. He got the looks, the charisma, the kind of energy and character. Don't be fooled by his looks and act from wrestling, he's a friendly and nice guy. My number one favourite of all time.

Basketball: Michael Jordan, and LeBron James.



I'm a basketball fan. I've gone though the documentaries of this basketball legend, Michael Jordan. He's almost achieved everything in the world of basketball that a NBA player can dream of. In the world of basketball, who else to love besides him?



The current superstar and the face of the NBA. Love his dominance on the court and his unique ability and physique. Love his kicks.

Bodybuilding: The Rock Johnson, and Andrew Vu.



"Success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency. Consistent hard work gains success. Greatness will come." - Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson

Another cool guy. He's from the states, I watch him on youtube. Great personality. His success in bodybuilding is very inspiring and motivational for me. Follow him @ Facebook or Youtube. Just search for his name if you're interested in finding out the process of him winning trophies.

Other figures: Robert Kiyosaki, Steve Jobs and Cesar Millan.



The best-selling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad series. His quotes are always meaningful and motivational. Which category do you wanna' fall into? Rich or Poor? Find out what he have to tell you from his books and videos.



I'm a believer in Cesar's way. I have been practicing his techniques and values about dog training/dog psychology and I'm impressed with these small little details that we usually overlooked. He's the truly, one and only, Dog Whisperer.



Steve Jobs. The guy whom reinvented the phone, computers and revolutionize modern technology. Changed the way we listen to music, changed the way we utilize our computers. He's truly an amazing guy and I enjoyed every one of his speech during WWDC. He's a genius.

I am who I am today because I let myself inspire by wonderful people. I can't be neither one of them, but I think I can become a better person because of all these great people.

Words can't really describe who I am, that's all I can think of writing at the moment.

Not Updating

Didn't update anything few days ago and probably won't gonna' be updating anytime soon.

Something happened and I'm feeling a lil' bit emo and sad these few days and I don't plan to bring my emotions into this blog... Wanna' keep this blog happy and positive.

Until then...

Maybank, Staff of the Month

So I was at the bank last year with my friend, helping him doing some procedures. While waiting at the queue, we encountered this really eye catchy thing.

Seriously!? An umbrella? A portrait? On a table out of no where in the middle of the bank? With yellowish clothes? 

What's that?! 

At a closer look, you can't seriously be kidding me...

No way! A staff of the month from the bank. Displayed there as if something happened to him.

If you know what I mean...

What are they thinking...

My First Meme

My first meme...

Remember, you've seen it first @ dailycandle.blogspot.com

It sucks

It sucks, when I had to wake up 9 in the morning to play basketball, after 4 hours of sleep.

It sucks, when we had to go to the 3rd optional basketball court to play basketball because the other two choices where occupied and unavailable...

It sucks, when I get injured from playing ball again.

This time, it's my left ankle...

Introducing Milkie

Puppy Milkie.

Milkie was adopted by my girl (Lilian) somewhere in late 2011. Cookie needed a companion so she provided one. I didn't really accept Milkie at the first place because Lilian didn't discuss about this matter before adopting her. It was a surprise for me and I thought it was too hasty for decisions like that.

My girl (Lilian) and Milkie.

A Portrait of Milkie.

Truth to be told. there was no love for her when she was still a puppy because I wasn't ready for another commitment. Also, I didn't really spend a lot of time with her when she was a puppy as she was always separated from Cookie in the day (I mostly make my visits in the day). 

But eventually, I accepted her and she became one of my sweethearts as well. Lucky that my girl did not give up raising her up without my support and love. It's a regret for me to not have go through a happy and memorable puppyhood with Milkie. But it's never too late to admit I was wrong, and I love her as much as I love cookie ever since. 

She looks more like a dame (bitch) compared to Cookie (Oh yea, both Cookie and Milkie are bitches, my cute and sexy bitches). She doesn't makes a lot of noises when she's drinking and she really takes her time to eat her meal. Really really slow, just like her master. 

Personality wise, she's more independent and she really obey instructions. Sometimes, it may be tough for her to understand new instructions at first. But when she does get what I want her to do, she will not likely to disobey it. We like to think her as a soldier because sometimes she really looks like one. How I wish there's an army uniform for her to put on. 

She can really run!

She's also more active compared to Cookie, good stamina, fast runner, friendly towards people, caring towards smaller puppies and an absolutely great companion!

A trip with me to the vet, her nightmare.

She's also more healthy compared to Cookie, she barely got sick therefore the vet is a place that she hates really much. I would say visiting there for her is her worst nightmare.

A walk with me at the park, along with Cookie.

Here's a video of Milkie, hope you guys enjoy...

Ohhh... By the way, here's another video of Cookie & Milkie together at the park...



Lovely, aren't they?

Cock Brand

I saw this from a rubbish dump. I don't know if it's just me but I think it sounds kinda funny..

Seriously? Using a chicken as a logo for  an "Orange Product" is already weird, but the name of the brand makes it even funnier.

Imagine...

If someone opens a design studio named Cock. I mean how funny is that?

Especially when you relate the word cock to something... You know?

Introducing Cookie

Image take from Facebook, the day we met Cookie.

Cookie and I, sorry for that weird looking face.

Cookie is a dog that my girl and I adopted from SSPCA a year ago. It all happened around July 2011 and it was one of the greatest decisions we have ever made. I wanted a dog badly but Cookie stayed with my girl all these while because I couldn't adopt one due to family matters.

Cookie, Puppy.

German Shepherd Puppy, kinda' look like Cookie right?

The reason why Cookie caught our attention is because I always had a thing for German Shepherd Dog. I find that GSDs are dumb in a way although they are known for guarding and police dogs. Somehow, Cookie kinda' looked like a German Shepherd Puppy when we adopted her. However, she's nothing like a GSD except for her black muzzle and coat colour. 

There's also a lot of fate involved. Cookie was a dog that SSPCA decided to put-to-sleep during that period of time because she had skin disease and the shelter was limited in space. Also, there was an auntie lady whom was a committee, that I'd like to thank as she helped us with the recommendation of treatment for Cookie's skin infection and adoption procedure. Without her, Cookie might be in heaven already..

Cookie meeting up with her sister, Sofy.

Lately, we've also heard of another auntie lady whom we become friends; who's a owner of Cookie's sister (Sofy), wanted to adopt Cookie in the first place but she was minutes too late as we'd brought her home. Lots of fate involved? I do think so..

When I could still carry her, she has doubled up now.

Cookie and I at February 2012.

Personality wise, she's lazy, stubborn and dumb. But all these made her super special and funny because of her dumb behaviors. She's a cute thing to watch and play with, although sometimes I might get headaches because of her. She loves to eat and I don't think she has a favourite food as she seems to put almost everything into her stomach. She's the first dog I know of to eat fruits and vegetables such as bitter gourd, cucumber, papaya, and many many more that you guys never think of.

Nom Nom Nom...

More Nom Nom..

She's a great dog and I wanna stress that you don't need to get a pure breed to be great. Adoption is always a choice. Words can't really describe that stupid yet lovely dog, so I'm thinking of showing you guys a video of her.

She's just too cute, isn't she?
