life at Canterbury

2011-12-09T07:33:00.004+08:00

let me talk a little about this town South-East of England. Canterbury. Largest university around is the Uni of Kent. it is about 1.5 hours from London (by bus/train) and around 1 hour (by express train, you pay more of course). Nothing famous here except for the Canterbury Cathedral, which is one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in England and is part of a World Heritage Site. As a student, I move around by taking the double-decker bus. Shopping for groceries, and some sightseeing also by bus, after all I have paid for the yearly bus pass.

I have not visited many places in England. On my first day of arrival at Heathrow Airport, it was quite intimidating. All alone in a foreign land, thousands of miles away from home. The sun here seemed different, not the one that used to greet me in the morning in Malaysia. Arrived at London 6.00 a.m. and after visa checks, around 7.30 am. And then I had to find my way to the Travelodge hotel, some 20mins away from airport. Waited at the lobby until check-in time which is 12 noon. Was lucky I met a Malaysian girl at the lobby and we chatted. I felt better after the short chat. Not so lonely anymore :)

Jetlag, tired and scared, I wasn't myself. Woke up the next morning and took a bus to the Airport to catch the Uni airport pickup. After meeting some staffs and volunteers, felt so much better. I felt like being saved from an unknown land.

Checking in to my accommodation in uni was a breeze as I was one of the early arrivals. The uni looked empty, and the sun looked familiar again :) I was the only one in my flat that day, felt lonely again. Anyway, unpacked and tried to settle down. Met my flatmates the next 2 days, and they were all Malaysians.

Picture time :)

how much my life has changed

2011-12-03T19:06:00.005+08:00

i've been to places. seen things. and shared my experiences. now i'm back to college again. going through college life all over. i am unsure if it is a smart or stupid decision by me, but again I am hoping to see a whole lot of things throughout my one year in England.

am studying for my Masters in Finance, Investment & Risk at Uni of Kent now. Busy with assignments & courseworks. Worrying about exams & having to struggle with probability & statistics. yes, ALL over AGAIN. but what the hell, its only a year and i am going to nail it this time =)

i've been so behind in updating stuff here, anyway the pictures i am about to share were taken in Cambodia. more pictures of Canterbury (England) will be up soon, i promise :)

2011-03-15T21:10:00.004+08:00

since September, i've got myself a job at HSBC Cyberjaya =) thank you thank you ~ :-) it has been where i spent most of my time ever since. hmm. live to work eh??

not really, as i have big plans coming up. so not to worry guys, i will definitely keep you updated. i've been well. a little stressed up, but doing good. been going out less and going to bed early. overall, i've been a damn good boy in 2011. hahah

Career time

2010-09-02T01:16:00.002+08:00

i'm 20 and all thats in my mind is to get a decent job to kickstart my career. i want a car. i will want a private place for myself in the future. then i'll want a bigger car. then i'll change my phone, my lappie. everything requires money, work = money. anyway, we'll see how it goes when i get my first job. it could be a bank, or an accounting firm. it may even be a job that is not related to my major. who gives a damn? i dont =D

thats all for now. i should be working already before my next post. fingers crossed xxxx

BSc Accounting & Finance with Hons

2010-07-19T23:19:00.002+08:00

phew. finally a graduate ? gahh.. not until i've passed the final 3 papers. results will only be out in 3 months, and i'm left dangling in mid air "an unofficial graduate"..

my future is still very much buried in a dark cave waiting to be dug out. funny, when i came out from the examination hall after my final paper, my mind was totally blank.. i had the 'wow, i've-graduated, now-what' feeling.
i have a few choices in mind tho. 1st is to get a job and work, as working experience may be more useful to me than studying any further. 2nd, work part-time while i apply to further my studies late this year or next year; probably a masters or professional certificate. 3rd, immediately enrol myself into a uni to further my studies, which i feel that i wont gain much out of it by rushing myself..

anyway, keep my fingers crossed that i'd graduate coming January 2011, and all the best to my future...

heres a picture of the class of 2010 UoG graduates taken in Pangkor Island. wishing you guys all the best in your future, and to keep in touch via whatever!

my 20th birthday =)

2010-05-03T09:03:00.002+08:00

start giving and you will feel 10 times more satisfied than taking =)

i'll keep that in mind.. happy birthday to me

poor little kitten..

2010-04-04T00:09:00.002+08:00

Saturday, 9.30 PM.. i was at Rest 1, with a bunch of friends.. then a tiny little kitten walked towards me.. i did not see it, cos it was extremely tiny.. looks like a midget.. and it is white in colour.. noticed it has only 1 eye, cos the other must have had an infection..

i wanted to take it home with me... but i did not.. i'm feeling bad right now.. extremely bad. its like i've commited sin. i dont know if the kitten will survive through the night.. sigh.. i SHOULD HAVE done what i wanted to do.. i will be back tomorrow to look for the kitten.. if i find it. i swear i'll bring it home. if not, god, please send an angel to protect the poor little kitten :(

dear mr froggie

2010-02-27T12:23:00.002+08:00

what happened to be the old froggie who's full of life, jumping around like theres no tomorrow ??? has he gone into retirement or what... not long ago, he's full of crazy plans and ideas but now .... ? oh lord, please revive the old froggie, and bring him back to me :)

2010-02-26T02:14:00.002+08:00

eversince young, people despised me.. looked down on me.. i get stares wherever i went.. it all got better now.. as i'm 20.. i get a little more respect than i used to... being treated as an adult.. and being able to choose my friends and those around me..

therefore, in the past, i wanted to be loved, to be accepted and be treated fairly in school and any other community.. though i had great parents, nobody understood what i really needed.. i tried my very best to be loved and liked... and well, it wasnt a total failure, at least, i felt a little 'loved' ...

but being loved means nothing... lately i realised that, this so called an act of begging-for-love is nothing more like a beggar like a street... only difference is the thing we beg for.. love or money..

being loved but not loving others is an act of selfishness and arrogance.. but, being me, i did not really understood the meaning of love till recently.. thats when i started loving :)

the world is definitely a better place when you start loving.. love is a strong yet invisible force that keeps us all living happily.. to be loved is one thing, but loving others is something that makes everything worth dying for :)

love. when you start loving, you will realise that you need not seek for love, as it will always be around the corner :)

the story of a dog, Lucky

2010-02-21T11:36:00.002+08:00

one day, like any other days, except... a cute silky-terrier puppy comes to your house, and you noticed him.. you fed him, played with him, bathed him and then let him go again.. thinking that being such a valuable and handsome breed of dog, it must be owned by someone.. if not, it deserved to be owned by someone much better than myself..

the dog left your house that day... and you bade farewell and wishes the dog all the best.. however, he continue to turn up at your house everyday for a week, for water, food and for some company.. you dont really have dog food, so you've been feeding him scraps of whatever you yourself liked... even that, the silky-terrier ate them all up... you thought that, this dog must be damn hungry... and seeing its soiled fur, you bathed him again.. and again, that evening, you bade farewell to him... wishing him well..

however, that night, you're wondering that if you ever wanted a dog.. you've never thought of rearing a dog yourself... but you noticed yourself being more attracted to the dog you've been feeding and care for, for the past 7 days.. then you've decided, to adopt the silky-terrier the next day, when he comes over to your house tomorrow...

and the next day, you woke up early to go to the nearby petshop to get some premium dog biscuits, feeding bowl, a bottle of shampoo and a collar and leash.. with the happy thought of meeting the dog later in the afternoon.. you've even thought of a name for it, Lucky.. Luck was what brought the both of you together...

on the way home, while driving, you saw a motionless body of a puppy lying by the roadside... with hundreds of flies flying about its opened jaw and lifeless body.. you prayed it is not the worst that came to your mind, but as you drive pass the body, you knew... it was indeed YOUR Lucky.. and you pulled over at the side of the road, 200 metres from the corpse of Lucky.. tears flowed from your eyes... your head is throbbing like mad... you looked at the stuff you bought for Lucky, which are at the back seat of your car.. and stared blankly...

after half-an-hour, you decided to clear your mind and drive home... trying your best to forget LUCKY and hoping that LUCKY finds a good owner in Heaven :)

ps: this is not some copy & paste work.. you will notice that, as i've used only simple words unlike any seasoned authors :)

2010 Chinese New Year

2010-02-17T18:46:00.002+08:00

Chinese New Year is definitely not as exciting already... wonder why? could it be the age factor, as i'm turning 20.. CNY used to be much more enjoyable when i was younger, now, i am basically counting down the days... its wednesday, the 4th day of Chinese New Year, and i'm already stuck at home for the past 2 days... no programs... hahah, probably this year's CNY is a little bit too long, and private companies stop operating for more than a week.. so, yeah, this 2010's CNY is a little dull for me... or perhaps the fun hasnt arrived yet ? ;)

anyhow, i'm looking forward to a good year... although CNY might be a little bit of a spoiler this year..

Bye 2009

2009-12-26T20:04:00.002+08:00

yeah, just a short farewell to 2009, and hello 2010..

2009;
you gave me time and a chance to learn..
no results though, but i believe i learnt quite abit

sadly, in few days time, you will perish
and whats left of you are memories...

i did not blog much this year..

goodbye. we'll not meet again. unless the time cycle starts all over again at year 0001.
then it is possible, after 2008 years, we'll meet again.. if only i live that long

the guide to spending your money wisely as a Malaysian

2009-11-16T01:36:00.002+08:00

alright, what i am about to blog now is about 'what you should and should not spend your money on, if you're working in Malaysia'... an unofficial guide lah from my point of view... please comment, instead of 'shooting' me..

okay, lets begin.. a fresh graduate in Malaysia earns about RM1,800 to RM2,500 .. in Singapore, i found out that its about the same figure, but in Sing' Dollars ($) ..

direct comparison :
averagely, a Malaysian graduate earns - RM2,300
& a graduate working in S'pore earns - $2,300 (lets say its the same figure to make it simple)

a meal (let say, Lunch, comprises of Chicken Rice & Barli water) - RM5.50
a meal in Spore (lunch, of the same food; same drink) - $3.50

Take your "Total Salary" minus "Total Lunch Cost(a month)" = Savings... (assume that you only take lunch)

So, where will you be able to save more?? the conclusion is obvious right ?

Another example of pricing...
1) Perodua Myvi 1.3 EZi in Malaysia costs - RM50,000.00
2) Mazda RX-8 2.6 in the U.K costs - RM56,000.00 (10,000 pound sterling)
&
Lastly..
3) Chevrolet Camaro in the U.S costs - RM77,000.00 (USD 23,000)

question : consider the type of car you can get, with the amount of money spent... therefore, the question is 'to buy or not to buy a car, in Malaysia...' (after considering the higher living cost in the 1st example...)

so, i tell you whats cheap and value for money in Malaysia...
1. AirAsia Tickets (when they're on sale..)
2. Delicious food.. (you need to read the recommendations in forums or catch it on food prog. on TV)
3. erm... cheap what.. our Petrol is still considered cheap :)

and i think thats all

Hope you people benefited from that xD

p/s : i'm still having my cough, and being in college feels like a contaminated specimen.. ahahahaha ! ssseshh

Nation is not managing its resources well ?

2009-08-12T14:30:00.002+08:00

hi people.. i'm on sem break in case you dont know. i've been online like almost all the time.. googling and stuff lah, but blogging wasnt on my mind.. heh.. its not easy for me to recall the stuff i've gone thru, unlike those celebrity bloggers eg. kenny sia.. haha.. so i blog only when i have something in my mind..

okay, lets talk about malaysia's financial crisis okay.. although the country seems fine, but i'm sure they have 'ahem not-so ahem good ahem financial officers' running the central bank and overlooking the country's financial area... the current interest rate we enjoy when we save in the bank is only +-1%... so where the heck do we keep our money ?? (its no wonder investment scams are growing like mushrooms now)

okay, so savings interest is +-1% per annum & fixed deposit rate is 2.5% p.a at most (compared to the previous 3.7%)

economics theory ; when interest rates are low, the govt are encouraging us to do investment... so there should be plenty of funds available... but why the heck are people turning to 'ah longs aka loan sharks' if there are supposed to be lots of funds to borrow at a supposedly lower interest rate ?

whats more ? the country is taking this opportunity by offering Government Bonds (amanah Saham ; ASNB) at a slightly higher-than-normal-interest-rate to get people to start saving..

so in conclusion..
- low interest rate discourages saving ; in the contrary encourages investment
- supposed to increase money supply into the market (through commercial banks ; loans)
- but people are borrowing from loan sharks instead
- people with extra funds takes out money from bank to invest in investment scams as they offer attractive returns (eg. 5% return per annum instead of the current 2.5% pa fixed deposit)

whats the country gonna do about it ?

Future Pets - Mini Pigs

2009-07-31T16:42:00.006+08:00

MINI PIGS

These are Pennywell miniature pigs raised by Chris Murray in Devon England.
These mini pigs are meant to be pets. They are a variant of a rare breed from New Zealand.
It is suggested that they always be sold in pairs so that they have a companion & someone to snuggle to.
They are supposed to be easy to house-train with good temperament.

I wonder if Malaysians will ever get to own one of these as pets ~

Sem Break !

2009-07-23T13:16:00.003+08:00

yay ! for i am sick ??? heh

alright, my blog has been dead for quite some time now. reasons ? :
-exams ended on 10th July, 2009
-on vacation :P 14th July - 16th July
- sick from 17th July - now...

poor me.. i cant enjoy the chocs i bought from langkawi .. hahaha

its my 7th day being sick, doctor said i lacked sleep, which causes stress, which causes cough, which causes fever... i actually blacked out in the kitchen yesterday morning.. i think due to lack of energy as i hardly ate since the day i fell sick... found myself lying on the kitchen floor few minutes later.. thank god there was no blood and no brain damage :)

next was my final semester's result... i was seriously afraid that i might fail a paper or 2 this semester.. as we were hardly given any time for revision... the list goes on and on with excuses =P.. no prob now, i got 3 As and 3 Bs ... well unexpected.. and i couldnt believe it myself.. checked it more than 5 times and its real :D and not a dream

so, might be attending the convocation in a few weeks time... while i wait and search for options to further my studies and to fully complete my degree..

Food Allergies - Help !! I'm allergic to birds nest and sharks fin

2009-07-12T14:19:00.004+08:00

i ate shark fin's soup yesterday, and as expected, i had an upset stomach an hour later.. my mum actually thinks its psychological... but after many times trying it, and getting the similar result, i believe i'm allergic to it..

foods that i'm allergic to & a NONO for me :
shellfish - prawns and crab.. once i ate it and got a swollen upper lip.. and i'll get itchy all over
sharks fin soup - i'd get an upset stomach
bird's nest - i'll get wheezing and asthma attacks..

most people i know are allergic to certain food. why ? heres an interesting article below :

What is a food allergy?

When you have a food allergy, your body thinks certain foods are trying to harm you. Your body fights back by setting off an allergic reaction. In most cases, the symptoms are mild-a rash, a stuffy nose, or an upset stomach. A mild reaction is no fun, but it is not dangerous. A serious reaction can be deadly. But quick treatment can stop a dangerous reaction.

Allergies tend to run in families. You are more likely to have a food allergy if other people in your family have allergies like hay fever, asthma, or eczema (atopic dermatitis).

Food allergies are more common in children than adults. About 7 out of 100 kids have them. Only about 3 to 4 out of 100 adults do.1 Children often outgrow their food allergies. But if you have a food allergy as an adult, you will most likely have it for life.

What are the symptoms?

Food allergies can cause many different symptoms. They can range from mild to serious. If you eat a food you are allergic to:
- Your mouth may tingle, and your lips may swell.
- You may have cramps, an upset stomach, or diarrhea.
- You may have itchy skin with red, raised bumps called hives .
- You may have a stuffy nose, wheeze, or be short of breath.
- You may feel dizzy or lightheaded.

Kids usually have the same symptoms as adults. But sometimes a small child just cries a lot, vomits, has diarrhea, or does not grow as expected. If your child has these symptoms, see your doctor.

Some people have symptoms after eating even a tiny bit of a problem food. As a rule, the sooner the reaction begins, the worse it will be.

What foods most often cause a food allergy?

A few foods cause most allergies. A food that causes an allergy is called a food allergen. Usually it is the protein in a food that causes the problem.

Eggs, milk, peanuts, wheat, soy, and fish cause most problems in children. Most kids outgrow allergies to milk, wheat, eggs, and soy by the time they are 5. But kids rarely outgrow an allergy to peanuts or fish.

Peanuts, tree nuts (like walnuts or almonds), fish, and shellfish cause most problems in adults.

tips on asking the right question :)

2009-07-06T14:14:00.002+08:00

Jack and Max are walking from religious service. Jack wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying.

Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?"

So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, "Father, may I smoke while I pray?" The Priest replies, "No, my son, you may not! That's utter disrespect to our religion."

Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him.
Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try."

And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, "Father, may I pray while I smoke?"
To which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son. By all means. You can always pray whenever you want to."

*Moral of the story is... The reply you get depends on the question you ask. *

For example, if you want a vacation when still working on a project don't ask for the holiday; Ask: "Can I keep working on this project while I'm on vacation?"

Life & Death.. something thats beyond our control

2009-06-26T00:31:00.003+08:00

its a been terrible for me..feels like i've just taken a blow from some bastard.. my dad has 8 brothers.. and yesterday evening, my 3rd Uncle passed away.. he was my best uncle.. who loved me dearly... i loved him alot too, but didnt really expressed it.. till he fell ill bout a year ago.. that time, he could still walk around.. then later on, he fell quite ill, and his life was on the line.. not aware of his surrounding and the people around him... but till the very last day, if he's alright and all, i'm sure he'll be looking at me and smile a toothless grin ... i miss his smile...

he was the one who babysitted me when i was little.. my parents were most of the time working.. i spent most of my childhood days playing with him.. on weekends, he'd take me to the durian farm.. i'd always follow him, promising him i'd help.. but i'll end up disturbing him.. he taught me fishing, and injected the interest into me... till this very day... he was the first person whom i caught a fish with.. a red tilapia..

3rd uncle was a very soft spoken man, and loved his kids, and grandchildren.. and even me who is only his nephew..

and back to reality, an hour ago, i was in his very house, which i used to run around naked.... and there i saw him... lying in the coffin.. i imagined him smiling back to me.. his toothless grin... while i said my final goodbye to him.. my 3rd uncle... u'll always be a legend in my heart... always..

lots of love from your dear nephew, uncle ~

my cousin used his fairlady to fetch his wife from Alor Setar.. which is about 1 1/2 journey from his house in Penang.. which is why, there is a "Need for speed !!" .. rumours (frm my sis) said that the cars were driven at 200 kmph and reached there in less than an hour.. wedding in style..

so, *no reasons needed*, he came back with his wife not long after.. and the picture above shows my nephew opening the bridegroom's door.. :)after they all chao-ed into the house... i grabbed the chance to have my photo taken with the Fairlady :D oh my lady... haha

there, the bride and the groom entering the house... *while i was taking pretty pictures of his car :P*

Birthday Surprise & Tenji 5th June 2009

2009-06-06T16:33:00.003+08:00

yesterday was a blast i tell u *winks* .. well the pressure was building... studies and what to do after finishing my studies pressure... soon, once i've graduated, its gonna be a sudden transformation... is that i'll suddenly become too old for many things.. so, now is the time for all the fun... to da max ^^

okay, lets go to the point :

1) li mei's birthday... hehe.. me and F4 (thats what we call ourselves) buddies planned a surprise for her. we decorated her car and gave her a bouquet of flowers :D well, altho it isnt something useful, but ... well, its sincere from us leh :D (pictures soon..)

2) then after class, with our empty stomachs after long lectures, we drove to MONT KIARA ... YES, I FINALLY GET TO GO TO TENJI @ Solaris Mont Kiara !

we took the supper package, cos they have promotion for it and all.. RM39++ from 9.30pm to 12.30am .. okay, let me stop here and let the pictures do the talking :)

upon arrival at Tenji outlet.. we were like Hungry Jakuns.. hahaha

haha. i went straight to the oyster counter... rumours said that they are palm sized... too bad they arent.. maybe a toddler's palm :D bahhh who caressss ... its so yummy. *drools*

next, i went to drop the order clips on the types of fishes they serve... salmon, cod fish... etc etc.. ate em all :D

oooh, and not to forget, the main drink for the night is the mini thai coconut.. they're just so sweet, fragrant and niceeeeeee... for me , it tasted too good to be true.. haha, mayb its artificial flavouring one... :P there were many other kinds of drinks as well.. even smoothies & ice kacang :D

miso, a variety of fish and clams (raw salmon, abalone slices, scallop.. etc unknown shellfish) and a bowl of ginseng soup..

later, one of the Tenji staff came over and joined us.. she introduced herself as Jacyntha Wong.. hhaha, will never forget her name as my english teacher is also called Jacyntha.. anyway, she's a sweet girl, 2 years my senior :) she brought us some special dishes : above, belacan crab & waffles with haagen daaz ice cream toppings.. how sweet of her :) but too bad we couldnt take any of the crab.. i'm allergic to it, and my friends were bloated already.. hahahahaha

and of course, we took a picture with her :) see how sweet she is :) she's the one on the bottom lefta picture of me, taken around 12.31am :P .. right after we were led out from the restaurant.. happy and satisfied :D

the promotion is on Lunch (weekdays only) and Supper (everyday) till June 30th 2009 .. so, my advice is to go ahead, you have nothing to lose.. its worth every penny !!! but its kinda crowded on weekends..

Assignments Deadline - the end of May 2009

2009-05-31T01:51:00.003+08:00

well, i dont know what to post on my blog these days.. anyway, lets be grateful that this post confirms that the blog is still very much alive! :D

its approaching June, 2009 already ! that means your plans for the year should be half completed by now.. heh..

its also time for me and my coursemates to complete our assignments given to us at the early of the semester =x shhh...

been out 4/7 nights last week just to meet up with my group members to complete those work.. above are some pictures taken at Gasoline Serdang, which is facing the Mines Resort Lake..how romantic (with so many fishes and mosquitoes around)

Dine out at Madam Kwan's ~ KLCC

2009-05-21T00:55:00.004+08:00

madam kwan's tissue

suki waiting anxiously...

black jelly drink ( aka air Cincau)
Nasi lemak

its my first visit to madam kwan's ... heard of the name once in awhile... anyway, it turned out to be classy .. in klcc and all .. with the waiters and waitresses all in smart & formal attire.. but what i was about to see in the menu was disappointing.. nothing but our local cuisine costing not more than rm5 a dish in normal food stalls..

Anyway, without wasting much time, i ordered

1. Nasi Lemak - RM12 ++

2. Cincau - RM5 ++

Total ---> RM18 +

wtf .. with that much of money, i could treat myself to a Steak dinner, with a Large jug of Fruitjuice.. and the stuff i ordered was among the cheapest.. cant blame them tho, afterall they took risk by doing their business in KLCC

My 1st Philharmonic Orchestra

2009-05-12T19:57:00.004+08:00

hellooo.. went to my first Philharmonic Orchestra on Saturday !!
it was really classy... the setup and all.. but not the audience... they behaved like those at a rock concert..

i enjoyed sir willard white's performance.. he was casual... just like any other americans..

yes, the guy in the photo above is HIM .. and i paid a mere rm15 for the show :) which makes him look so cheap... hahaha

ps: i almost wore batik... but... oh well.... didnt quite like it..

i'm going to Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, KLCC

2009-05-06T11:00:00.004+08:00

i'll be going to my first philharmonic orchestra on 9th of May... on the same day, my cousin will also be having his wedding dinner... therefore, there is a certain trade off.. i chose to go to the philharmonic orchestra :D

can you please help me decide which suits me better ??

1) [white & black striped shirt] with a brown tie

2) [white & tiny checkered pink] with a brown tie

p/s : i'd be wearing a coat over it

Sound of Music at Central Station Antwerp, Belgium

2009-05-05T17:50:00.005+08:00

This video was made in the Antwerp, Belgium Central Station (train). On a Monday morning, with no warning to the passengers passing through the station, a recording of Julie Andrews comes on the public address system singing “Do, Re, Mi.” As the bemused passengers watch in amazement, some 200 dancers begin to appear from the crowd and station entrances. Enjoy.

i watched it and it made me smile just like the onlookers... wouldnt the world be a nicer place if things like this happens more often :) although it may seem like nothing but a great performance, i feel that it has the largest effect when it comes unexpected.. it definitely lift the spirit of stressful city people :)

2009-05-02T14:56:00.002+08:00

malaysia breed cowards ?? hahaha. better have scared citizens that outspoken ones right??

job well done Leader :)

its May already !

2009-05-02T13:50:00.002+08:00

my parents & my sis will be going to kluang, johor for a cousin's pre marriage dinner... the bride's side of course... dad, well known with his innova, will have to fetch part of my cousin's family there... my dad has to be a driver for 8 hours, even on his BIRTHDAY, 2nd May...

they're leavin at 2pm, back at about 2am.. long journey... and that, i have the house all to myself for 12 hours ! haha... not that i'm gonna do anything also.. probably goin out window shopping and wonder around... gonna get a haircut also, for a new hairstyle.

Kajang Prima incident

2009-05-02T00:17:00.002+08:00

its 1st of May !! that means my dad's birthday is gonna be tomorrow.. actually today lah, its already over 12.. i wished him before he went to bed... he responded with a groan.. hahahaha

its been a long day, especially for my dad :D he was the big guy today, and played a major role in organizing the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of 2 badminton courts at the park.. YB Teo Nie Ching came, wearing a smart outfit that has the word "Member of Parliament, Malaysia" .. thats cool.. hehe.. and there was another guy, a State Assemblyman, also the State Exco, Ean Yong.. they were here to officially kick of the project :D

then after all that, it ended at about 12 noon... where a group of 'anti-badminton court being built at that area and thinks that something else should be built there' had a major meeting.. and then they sort of had a parade, where they walked around the residential area.. soon after, they went to the exact spot of the ground breaking ceremony we had in the morning, and destroyed a sign post which merely inform the residents about the construction of the badminton court...

haha, the vandalism was caught on a DVD recorder, and from a clearer version of this video, i actually recognize that guy !! haha.. that dumb ass !! we made a police report and enclosed a cd as an evidence to the police..

My life... my college life <2009>

2009-04-21T17:22:00.007+08:00

lately, my life's dull... tremendously dull... wake up, go college, come back, worry about studies, study, and sleep... have not gone out for a drink with friends... missing the cinemas... what else... story books becoming more and more dusty.. worst still, my pimples are all popping out... must be due to stress.. haha

having minor tests next week for Management Accounting & Finance next week (27th & 29th April)

these are the subjects i'm taking this sem... the reason for 90% of my dull days and stress

*Financial Accounting - the subject is boring... so is the lecturer =x

*Management Accouting - challenging but not bad.. best lecturer for me this semester

*Taxation - lecturer is dullll.. boring.... and the combination of his face & lectures make us all fall asleep

*Finance - dreadful lecturer... his mission for every semester is to fail as many students as possible.. not bad.. but lecturers suppose to be friendly arent they ?? hmm..

*Presentation Skills - aka English speaking class.. "You're too near Joe, You're Stepping on my Toe..." repeat after me class.....

*Music Appreciation - its conducted in mandarin... if lucky, i might understand a quarter of what the teacher's talkin... he's an interesting guy, too bad assignments are to be written in CHINESE !!

Prawn Fishing

2009-03-20T02:26:00.002+08:00

woohoo, its 2am.. and i just got back from Prawn Fishing !! Its my first time ! though its kinda cruel, but its definitely one heck of an experience !

In the pictures are barbequed prawns.. those that my friend and I caught ! 18 prawns to be exact, were all we manage to catch within 2 hours

ps : couldnt enjoy much of the prawns tho, i'm allergic towards seafood, which includes prawn.. halfway thru eating my 3rd prawn, i got a pimple or swelling on my upper lip... this sucks man.. also, am having stomach ache.... darn prawns !

a little bit info on Dutch Lady UHT Milk

2009-03-16T15:14:00.002+08:00

well, yeah, i like to drink milk ! dont get me wrong lah, i really like Dutch Lady Full Cream Milk ! so, most of the time when i go to the hypermart, i'll get at least 2 pack of 1 litre Full Cream Milk.. therefore, i roughly know the price of the product... :)

okay, Dutch Lady UHT Milk comes in many flavours lah and comes in different packing also.. there are "Fresh Milk", "Low Fat", "Full Cream" and "Chocolate".. okay, then packaging wise, there are 3-different-kinds-of-packing of the SAME 1 LITRE product... put it this way, they pack 1 litre of milk into 3 different kinds of containers and sell it at a different price!!

below are pictures of the 3 kinds of packing done by Dutch Lady ;

well, what i've noticed after millions of times checking and comparing, the packing which i find cheapest looks like the top 2 pictures.. that packing is the fattest one, and can be found in the milk section... often priced around rm3.80 - rm4.50 (1 litre)

the 2 packings (also 1 litre) in the 3rd picture are more expensive usually around rm4.50 to rm5.00... can usually be found in the yoghurt & cheese section

so.... since economy isnt that good now, why pay more unnecessarilly ??

hope Dutch Lady doesnt sue me for this :P

back from NS (2)

2009-03-11T13:26:00.002+08:00

since being back from NS Camp, i have a feeling that my family is hiding something from me...

it makes me feel bad... they should just tell me, be it a bad or a good news... perhaps they think it'll be too much for me to handle, but hiding it from me will only hurt more...

i'm back to civilization

2009-03-11T12:19:00.003+08:00

oh look what i've become... A POSER =P

yes, you guessed it.. i'm back from THE National Service.. Feel free to ask me out :")

my days in NS ; 2009 CNY Year of the Ox

2009-01-25T11:06:00.002+08:00

aiya, here i am, back for CNY... just for a week... National Service is such a waste of time wei... for me, its like going "yum cha" with some new friends only you see them everyday... spent my time there doing nothing useful but chatting with my new friends... i hope it ends soon...

also, since i was there, they cut my hair twice.. cut is the wrong word, CROP sounds more like it.. and they just got to do it right before chinese new year... shit....

and i'm sick.... since yesterday.. even fell sick in NS... look at what the MALE nurse gave me...

-paracetamol aka panadol..
-lozenges for sore throat
-bromhexine
-metenamic acid
-gelusil
-chlorpheniramine
-amoxycilin

Sony DSC T2 ; Olympus µ 790SW

2008-12-05T19:38:00.006+08:00

theres a stock clearance sale at Low Yat plaza today on Digital Cameras. I went there early, hoping to get my hands on the sleek, sissy & sexy Sony DSC T2 (8.0 m.p, built in 4GB & Touch screen) at only Rm599..

had trouble finding the shop, and when i did, they told me Sony DSC T2 & T70 sold out already... shit... i think its just a marketing gimmick. they probably dont even sell them.. so, i had to settle with Olympus instead ; the total opposite of Sony... the one i got is one hell of a tough model.. the weather proof Olympus 790 Sw for the same price..

ish ... i wanted the Sony lahhh..........

Vacation report ; Batu Pahat

what most people would do. EAT ! ate alot of pork... afterall, pork are cheap there :P .. they must have lots of babi-s around

visited a temple located in a fishing village. there, i got the chance to touch one of the biggest freshwater fish, Arapaima. They're totally tame... they dont mind being touched by people, thats the coolest part ^^ they're about 5 feet long..

Small & Medium Enterprise Project, Performing Arts Showcase

2008-11-08T18:33:00.006+08:00

heheh.. another long break from blogging.. i've been busy busy busy.. what can i say... i'm finally free from assignments.. but sadly, i'll be having my exams, starting tomorrow.. anyway, let me sum up what happened while i wasnt here...

first, it was the SME Project, where me and my group members had alot of fun running our own business selling taufufah *soya bean curd*

Next it was the performance by me and my performing art mates :) it was tiring but fun too ! still dont have the pictures for this one..

harassed --- 2

2008-10-26T17:46:00.004+08:00

okay, continuation from the previous post... my parents went to a temple at Mendaling Street to pray.. and there, they met a 'sifu'.. he's supposed to be well known and many people would queue to be cured by him.. anyway, he saw my mum and she told him my problem, about my encounter... he told mum to bring me over to the temple the next day, as a precaution, in case i'm really being 'disturbed'

so, my parents took us out to pizza that night, and finally told me about it... they're worried that i might be scared about the whole thing, but i'm okay :) so, just for a peace of mind, i agreed to go to the temple the next day..

the next day ...

waited about half an hour, before it was finally my turn... the sifu was in a trance, and his eyes closed... he spoke so softly, and as if he was struggling to speak as loud as possible.. anyway, i held out my hands, and he touched it... then he spoke in hokkien :

"there's actually nothing wrong with you... nothing wrong at all.." - i just nodded.. pleased to know

"but your heart shows that, everything seems to be messed up" - mum looked at me..

"you have to be confident in anything you do.. ! why do you do things without confidence" - i nodded again..

"now, i'm going to take you as my godson.. of the Earth God.. is it alright with you?"

i nodded.. yes..

"now, take off your shirt..."

and he wrote something on my body, and my back... after that, its all over... hmmm... anyway, i think most of the things he said about me, he got it right... maybe he said that to others too... i dont know.... but i should really build up on my confidence :)

harassed..

2008-10-15T18:56:00.002+08:00

yeap, sorry for the loooong break from blogging... but i can assure you, this blog never dies.... it'll be my last thing i'd bring along with me to the grave.. :P the futuristic grave.. i wonder how is it... will i be buried online???? maybe by the year 2060, Nirvana has gone online.... hahahaha

anyway, see the topic of this post??? yup, you guessed it, i was harassed... by who ??? well, i was harassed in my room, around 2am, last Sunday....

it goes like this :
after playing my psp, i went to set the timer for my air cond (for 1 hour), and turn on the fan.. i went to sleep after that... soon after, i was awakened by a girl's voice... she was sort of talking in my head, or maybe she was right above me.. she said something, and i was kinda blurry, so i wasnt able to figure out what was it... i opened my eyes, but all i see is darkness... its like wtf... i tried to move, but its like i had muscle cramp all over my body... so, there you go... all i could do was to shut my eyes again, and tried to communicate with her.. i said "sorry if i made you mad somehow, and sorry sorry sorry" ... and then all was back to normal, i see my side table again... gosh, then when i thought it was gone, she spoke again, the same thing, and this time i asked her "what do you want from me" ... again, after she spoke, it was back to normal...

holy crap, my shirt was damp with sweat but i dared not move a muscle.... i counted to 3, and i picked up my pillow and ran off to my parents room >.< sorry mum and dad !

gao ong ea xD

2008-10-03T23:38:00.006+08:00

The No.1 reason that leads to hate, is indeed Jealousy... :) be strong and steady, i tell myself..

i've been trying to stay at home as much as possible lately, as i've been staying in college till late at night.. when i stay at home, it feels so peaceful....

anyway, 2 days ago, despite being so busy, i was able to watch the fire crossing ceremony of the 9th God festival.. it has been a tradition... i took a video of it too !

those who wanna cross fire, has to be a vegetarian for 15 days i think... if you're not, you have to bear the risk of getting burnt... thats what they say... i have a cousin, ah kiat, who crossed fire this year.. as well as previous years.. but this time, after walking halfway, he ran... ahahahaha.. i think he got burnt lah... :P

performing arts..

2008-09-19T23:57:00.005+08:00

yeah well, performing arts... that was the reason for me to be back home late almost everyday this week.. i've been made the main character, playing as the WIFE.. eheh, i know i know, sounds a little silly huh, but, well, overall i enjoyed doing it... especially doing cross-dressing.. that was definitely a once in a lifetime experience for me...

and after the real performance today, i feel that i kinda miss my character... its like i've been into the character for too long, and being so free when i was playing the character, like my life was without any worries.. well, i hate being myself, so, i pretty much liked the character much more than myself...

also, i really miss the time spent with my team members, although we've only just become friends...

but life goes back to normal, and it goes on... thats what i dislike most..

well, when something good ends, it feels like you've dropped a gold pendant into the river... something too valuable to forget, and its impossible to relive that moment again..

making a fool of myself...

2008-09-16T19:21:00.004+08:00

today, i learnt the meaning of the quote "a friend in need is a friend indeed".. and i realised, oh, how few friends i actually have..

also, i have to admit, that i'm a real sucked up leader... so, to anyone of you people out there, dont ever pick me as a team leader, i'm warning you :)

and

life goes on....

---edited---

oh, how i have totally forgotten about the mooncake festival... when was it ??? shit man... i feel so alien... okay, i only know my parents offered me mooncake and i rejected it... maybe thats all, a glimpse of the mooncake... and when i visited all my friend's blog, no matter he/she being in Malaysia or overseas (Aussie, Philippines, etc..) they've celebrated mooncake festival... i feel like a loser... loser malaysian... being too busy isnt good at all... this sucks man...

my days at tesco..

i'm sure, as a malaysia, you guys must've been to any TESCO outlet right? isnt it nice, tesco hypermart being so bright and all the shelves being so high, making it look more spacious..

but have you ever wonder whats behind those walls? nop, it is not the carpark.. yes it is the store.. and its hot, stuffy and smelly.. here, let me show you some pictures i took... its like having a tour to some place you wouldnt want to go in real life :) trust me

Entrance to the store..

baking stuff.. just one of the many shelves..

hot & fast selling products.. they're caged.. lol.. i can see milo, and beers inside.. :P

see those portable shelves and spoilt boxes? they're spoilt goods.. you can just simply go there and forage for usable item there :P but its so eeeeew lah

um... its hot inside there, like a factory.. and the smell... ughh, smells like alam flora truck that is 15 metres away

in dilemma..

2008-09-11T23:52:00.003+08:00

mum asked me again about my scholarship application.. i decided to tell her.. no point hiding it forever.. i told her "got rejected, they offered me interest free loan instead, i reject their offer".. well, i'm happy that my friends get to maintain theirs...

its true that most things that happen are unfair... the world is unfair.. get used to it, no point whining..

dad said that it must be due to my results... i told him to keep quiet.. mum said there must be problems in my application forms.. i argued with her... now, i'm trying my best not to let them have a chance to have a go at me... i'll just pretend like i'm busy..

the last time i went to the stationery shop, i bought a set of 3 mechanical pencils.. now, i've used them all up (must've misplaced them) .. i went to czip lee, and thought i'd get the basic 2B pencils instead... well, cheaper & more economical.. also, wood is bio degradable :) i wonder how many more weirdos like me would still buy these wooden pencils...

pepsi.. mirinda..

2008-09-08T22:55:00.007+08:00

here i am again :) i've been ok... thanks to a better time management =p .. i've always postpone my plans.. but i'm learning to change, and it feels good !

i'm working for permanis again..this time promoting 1.5 bottled softdrinks in Tesco Hypermart.. my product includes Pepsi (regular, twist & max), 7-Up, 7-Up Revive and Mirinda (Orange, Strawberry & Ice Cream soda)

sales were alright if not better, compared to selling cartons during Chinese New Year.. but job time is like so bored, that i even count the birds who flew around me in Tesco..

i just dont know what to promote.. everybody knows pepsi, and mirinda, and they just take take and take.. like i'm gonna make a difference.. well, i managed to convince some old folks to try out pepsi =p

there you go, my Mirindas..

others.. some capalang brand..

and lastly, F&N , the main competitor.. lolz..

colorful leh... i've never actually tried strawberry before tho.. so far no one has ever asked me how it tastes like :P even if they do i'll just tell them "it tastes like strawberry xD"

*** A little girl asked her mother, 'Can I go outside and play with the boys?'

Her mother replied, 'No, you can't play with the boys, they're
too rough.'

The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked,

If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?' *** lolz

i've been extremely busy nowadays... sometimes even staying up to 12 hours in college trying to get all my things done.. even that, the results werent good.. i feel sorry for my tutorial partner, he had to finish most of the tutorial work... i managed to do only 1 question out of the total 4 :(

i'm planning to reward myself with a vacation at the end of this sem.. just to lighten up myself abit, for now!

malaysians...

2008-09-01T11:31:00.002+08:00

i'm a malaysian :) pretty obvious.. and being a malaysian chinese, i can easily fit in the society :)

anyway, i've been eating out quite frequently nowadays.. and having my meals on awkward hours, i had nowhere to go but mamak shops and goreng pisang stalls.. its weird how unhealthy those food are, but we Malaysians still enjoy them whatsoever..

take teh'o ais for example.. it is freaking sweet even when you tell them you want it 'less sweet'.. yet, i've been ordering teh o ais whenever i go to the mamak... hmmph.. i should cut down on it..

also, the curry puffs, fried banana fritters(pisang goreng) and donuts being sold at stalls for tea time.. those food are oily.. also i can see flies enjoying the food before us.. ahahaha.. so does that deter us from eating pisang goreng? and whenever we go to these stalls, we'd just say "pakcik bagi pisang goreng 1 ringgit, & karipap 2 ringgit.."

well understood that rm1 can buy 5 pisang goreng or 3 curry puffs :)

proud to be a Malaysian, and a happy Merdeka!

aiya.. bad week.. whats more, bad year

2008-08-30T22:41:00.002+08:00

aaaahh.. it has been a sucky week... truly sucky.. well, some uninvited guest visited my home while nobody's home... get the point?? someone broke into our house !!! and ransacked everyone's stuff.. (i was the least affected)

umm.. those idiots, they managed to cut the grill with 2 Solex lock on it.. blame the rusty grill.. then they went about doing their job... funny, i had about rm100 in my piggy, and it was untouched.. and my stupid sis had rm500 in her piggy, thank god they were untouched as well... weird huh..

tell you what they took.. my new acer laptop, mum's and sis's jewelleries (i didnt know those were real.. i thought they were fake plastic all along), sis's phone... (she's glad about this one you know!), some foreign currency.. thats basically all.. thank god mum is able to claim them from the insurance co... but still, i hate strangers ransacking my stuff.. it makes me feel insecure..

look at the mess they made !!!!!! my room was alright.. almost untouched.. probably cos they found only dusty books, and maybe my room smelled funny to them :P

should see my parent's and sister's room.. not strange at all lah, they have jewelleries..... i think they're petty burglars..

the moment..

2008-08-27T13:17:00.002+08:00

The moment has arrived ! its wednesday, and its now 1.20pm.. 10 minutes before re-presenting my answer in the dreadful MOFI class infront of the monstrous lecturer.. what to do, i'm just like a bug waiting to be squashed.. urgg.. that sucks okay, wish me luck.........

week 3 ...

2008-08-23T11:33:00.004+08:00

its been 3 weeks since classes started... the classes were ok, except for 1... the lecturer's silly & strict.... he shouldnt do that to us , or perhaps ME.. idiot... i'm so pressured to catch up in that class.. and when i'm pressured, nothing seem to enter my brain... sigh, i think i better get use used to it fast before i fall behind others...

*spend a little of your time here to watch the animation above... its kinda touching

also, what the heck... our prime minister said price of petrol will only be reduced after 31st August... but today, the lowered the price of petrol already... he LIED to us again.. not that i care much, but i hate liars :-/

sigh

2008-08-14T20:20:00.002+08:00

aiya... scholarship application got rejected again.. but what to do, life goes on... i feel so hopeless, unlike any other 18 year olds..

then, early this week, a hong kong singer came to my college.. Eason that is.. Eason chan.. just like my mum, i kinda hate him... probably only liked 1 of his songs.. anyway, i was at the 3rd floor corridor waiting to enter the class, and then a group of people came.. i spotted Eason, he was in the middle.. kinda short and stout.. not really short la, but shorter than me.. he said hi at us, and just walked away.. lol.. an hour later, i was there again, waiting for my friends.. i was alone at the corridor.. and the same group of people came again.. saw eason the 2nd time.. lol.. must be after his performance.. p/s : his hairstyle suck bigtime..

hm... been gossiping alot lately.. =p mostly about people and happenings around the college.. also, gotta have to prepare myself for the strings of presentation later this month...my best wishes to mew choo.. our only hope for a gold medal, apart from his attitude-prob boyfriend..

whats going on in Malaysia..

2008-07-30T19:36:00.005+08:00

famous new words.... (in malaysia)

"Anwarized" - meaning: To get back-stabbed.. i.e. People who have been anwarized may contact the DPM's hotline

"Badawized" - meaning: To be stupified ...........i.e. Malaysians seem to be badawized by the media which reports biased news

"Najibbed" - meaning: To be blown to bits .....i.e. In this country,you better be careful with what you say, you can be najibbed otherwise

"Petrad" (Raja Petra) - meaning: To be exposed ...........i.e. Lately the BN coalition has been petrad in many ways

"KayJayed" (Khairy J) - meaning: To shout for no reason i.e. He kayjayed in the Dewan and appeared like a moron

"Balaed" (Bala Subramaniam) - meaning: To vanish suddenly i.e. The opposition balaed from the meeting in protest

"Lingamed" (duh..) - meaning: To repeat redundantly i.e. The Information Minister lingamed the same rubbish in the debate recently.

"Soileked" (double duh..) - meaning: To be caught on tape i.e. People have stopped using budget hotels as they are afraid of being soileked.

here is a little on whats happening in Malaysia... :

Altantuya was cold bloodedly najibbed after she attempted to petra Najib for anwarising her and not making the promised payments.

Razak was badawized into covering up for Najib while Najib balaed from the scene. Razak was actually anwarized.

However Najib lingamed that he had nothing to do with it and has been kayjaying on the topic in an attempt to prove his innocence.

Nevertheless, some quarters have been threatening that they have soileked evidence that Najib was involved.

"To Love Malaysia, is to know Malaysia"

2008-07-28T15:01:00.002+08:00

me, eating raw egg :)

i'm back from langkawi !!!! pictures will be up soon in my next post .. sorry for the 'dry season'

fruss frustz frust.....

2008-07-10T23:59:00.003+08:00

frustrated giler wei.. as you all know, my exam's next week.. and it is turning people into zombies.. i'm one of them lah... okay, for me, zombies are humans that are extremely frustrated with whatever is going on, and it just builds up... and then they just rip off guts from anyone they see (or those who scream, like they think screaming repel zombies)

anyway, what makes me frustrated with life and turns me into "zombie mode" lately..

1. drivers who overtake me, and then slows down when they're in front of me...

2. shop owner's attitude towards me like they dont need customers like me... (aka lan ciau face)

3. idiots who show their muka 10 sen when i say "hello" or a few minutes late ..

4. those who think they're sooo smart and teach me "wrong from right"...

5. and lastly , the current ruling party, and their mps... and their leader (yes, our prime minister indeed..).. it is just so frustrating when i see him being interviewed by the press.. i have to stop doing watever i am doing, and give 100% concentration on whatever he has to say (yes, you have to hear, and lip-read at the same time)... and he speaks as though he's speaking his last words... (damn, he just gotta make me stand there and watch him speak word by word...) steam breaker

and yeah... thats pretty much all the people i've met that just turns me into zombie mode.. and thinking about them makes me wanna stick a bunch of clothes-hanger up their assh*le..

okay, de stressed.. back to the study table.. ta~

yeah.. a bunch of these

into

that ^^

not so productive days...

2008-07-10T11:18:00.004+08:00

i dont know its just me or what.. exam's next week, and i think i'm at the least productive .. also, i notice that not only guys, but males in the animal kingdom are the lazier ones.. i find it hard to accept tho.... :P

been lazing around... :P no lah, not really, but day dreaming and doing less important stuff when i'm supposed to be studying... sigh. just not in the mood

i went to bed at 1am yesterday.. was dozing off to dreamland when i heard a sound at the window.. i turned to look, i saw something black, it climbed and sat there, looking outside... thank god it didnt look at me... !!! i can only see its back side.. that thing got hands...

the mosquito netting was the only thing between me and that thing !! that thing was black in color, not sure got tail or not, but judging by the way it sat, it cannot be a cat... the back was much broader, i thought maybe its a monkey... but a monkey ???? maybe its something else, something not from the earth... aiya, who cares, i was so sleepy that i dozed off.. zzz.. hahaha..

ps: i'm not lying lah......

just for laughs...

2008-07-03T20:56:00.002+08:00

well, i have no idea on what to update... exam's near... anyway, enjoy this.. lol

There was a guy sunbathing in the nude on the beach. He saw a little girl coming toward him, so he covered himself with the newspaper he was reading.

The girl came up to him and asked, "What do you have under the newspaper?
"Thinking quickly, the guy replied, "A bird." The girl walked away, and the guy fell asleep.

When he woke up, he was in the hospital in tremendous pain. The police asked him what happened. The guy says, " I don't know. I was lying on the beach, this little girl asked me a question. I guess I dozed off and the next thing I know, here I am in the hospital in this unbelievable pain."

The police went to the beach, found the little girl, and asked her, "Just what did you do to that naked fellow?" after a pause, the girl replied, "To him? Nothing. I was playing with his bird and it spit on me. So, I broke its neck, busted its eggs, and set its nest on fire!"

Moral of the story: Never, ever lie to a female.....OF ANY AGE!!

life's so simple ??

2008-06-25T09:47:00.003+08:00

well, i noticed there're 2 very distinct kind of people in this world... one always seem to have problems and they scratch their head over it almost all the time.. the other type seem like they have nothing in the world that bothers them abit (aka happy go lucky lah..)

question is, why is there such a thing??? are those happy go lucky ones just hiding their emotions... or maybe they're just better at solving problems..

if there is a 3rd kind of people, i'd be it.. since i'm neither the 2..

when i'm feeling down, i want to be alone... like yesterday, i went for a movie.. alone.. yeah, i know its pathetic.. i havent done that for a year now.. anyway, i have to bear the consequences.. the guy sitting next to me stank like some rubbish truck... and he has the habit of shaking his legs violently when it comes to the action part... imagine that.. it was damn annoying

*if life's only as simple... i would've gotten myself a new car xD ... anyway, dont misunderstand.. i did not strike 4D or whatsoever.. what i'm trying to say is that betting is bad. :)

change for the better..

2008-06-20T10:18:00.002+08:00

i need to kick away bad habits.... change for the better...

sometimes i do not realize the negative things i've done.. i might've killed a bird, without knowing it...

just comment on this post ; the negative side of me... and on what i should improve.. keep it anonymous :)

June...

2008-06-17T20:35:00.002+08:00

the picture was taken about a month back..

yesterday ; presentation went alright... well, i was lucky that chapter wasnt that hard.. giving examples were easy.. so thank god :) however, football match in the evening wasnt quite good for me...

altho we won with a goal margin, i played terrible... i cant even remember how to kick the ball.. ah, spectators were watching.. so, yeah.. shit happens afterall..

today ; dad departs to kuching, replacing my mum.. and then, mum met our new neighbour.. he's a government servant, and is now shifting to the house opposite to ours.. so yeah, i admire my mum's courage.. she just like went up to that 'indian fellow' and asked if he was the new owner of that house.. and he said yes.. mum went on talking about our neighbourhood.. lol.. cant blame her, she's trying her best to be friendly

it'd be good if her son could learn from her.. haha, but sadly...

anyway, i just got back from fetching sis to tuition.. saw a dog barking madly at a cream coloured cat.. pitiful cat, i could see his/her fur standing.. sorta looks like a furball.. well, i honked > the dog looked at me > the cat ... err, where's the cat ??? LOL.. i believe i saved his life.. he forgot to thank me tho :P

if only god would even honk me once... i'd be more than glad...

recipe to feel better..

2008-06-09T21:39:00.004+08:00

my way to feel better when you're down, had a bad day, or simply stressed out..

1. take your mind off that problem.. instead think of every little positive thing that will make you feel happy

2. look at happy faces.. smile at people (force yourself if you need to).. avoid looking at faces that you hate.. dont even think about them.

3. think about your next meal.. it should be something special, that you dont eat everyday (eg: cheese choc from secret recipe)

4. if you're staying away from food, think about things that you've always wanted to buy (within budget) or things you've always wanted to do (eg : go for a horror movie) .. then, just do it.. the main point is to satisfy yourself..

5. ok, this is my theory.. 2 satisfying things you do = no more feeling bad.. therefore, if you're feeling really really down (like the whole world's against you..) you might want to consider treating yourself to a 2 scoop ice cream at baskin robbins, and go get that shoe you've always considered buying.. then, afterwards, you might feel that, the world's aint that bad afterall :)

*i write what i think*

feel free to comment..

money... to.. survive..

2008-06-05T21:57:00.002+08:00

lol, picture says it all... i'm not surprise actually... with this prime minister, anything can happen.. just after reading the newspaper headline of the day which stated "petrol price expected to rise in August" .. and soon after, i got an sms from a friend telling me that petrol price will be up by 40%, TONIGHT .. so did the media got wrong info, or our prime minister just lied to us =x .. alright lets stop here..

oh, i swiped my visa for the first time, and got myself an adidas soccer boots.. its a bargain... 50% discount which brings down the cool boots to only rm100 :D i'm glad !

hmm, what else.. oh yea, no more luxury cars in the future... *wipes it out of my Gonna-get-list* the trend is now smaller cars... next, hybrid cars.. next ??? bicycle :P .. i'm gonna be riding bicycle to college starting next week... believe it or not lah... i know you guys wont believe.. haha.. but i'll be getting my new bicycle tomorrow.. hopefully it'll be a bargain again.. good bike with good price.. who'd guess this will be the new trend. BICYCLES !! no more BMWs.. no more above 2000 cc cars.. well, not until the price of petrol goes down again.. which i seriously doubt. ta~

june..

2008-06-01T20:29:00.003+08:00

so fast, its june already... time flies...

mum got me a visa card. nice? not really. its just so that i can help her pay her bills.

anyway, mid term's just over.. and i did pretty bad, considering the number of hours i spent doing revision.. and i feel blank now. no aim. i feel so lost.

also, this week, i got my NS letter (finally). been waiting for it, so that i can postpone (or maybe cancel it) my NS .. NS kills !

miserable day..

2008-05-28T19:35:00.003+08:00

the day is good.. the sun is blazing hot.. and for once throughout the week, i can sleep pass 9am.. my first lecture of the day is economics. it starts at 11.30am.. oh well, anyway, i end up rushing to college :P

arrived college at 11.32.. *shrieks* time to look for parking.. *went round and round for like 10 minutes*.. oh shoot, no parking.. now what??? *picks up my handphone and key in "cannot go class, no parking ><, help me tick my attendance, pls pls" then press send*

ok, then i went home... later, my mum called and need help on renewing road tax.. oh well, went to collect the stuff, and had to rush to the post office by 5pm.. nobody's there, but they insisted on me getting a number.. oh, heck... fine.. one second later, my number appeared on the board...

me : *hands over a document to lady at the counter* renew setengah tahun..

lady : *reads the document, and eye widens* ok...

while doing her job and printing the road tax, she talks to her friend *like i'm hollow-man*

lady : tengok budak2 sekarang.. kecik2 sudah pandu kereta besar..

lady 2 : *looks at the document i gave, then at me*

lady : dah la harga petrol naik... road tax pun mahal.. nak naik kereta besar lagi..

me : *stares and said to myself "why the shit you care... its not even my car".. oh well*

lady : *hands back the documents to me*

me : *grabs it and turn away...*

well, conclusion.. some malaysians really got no better things to do...

and at 5.30, had to fetch sis to piano class.. then again, rush to college.. reached there at about 5.40.. 10 minutes late.... then when i reached the classroom, the heck ?!?!? not a soul... maybe the class was cancelled?? who cares.. i'm going back no matter what...

p/s : when i looked at the document, i noticed the car was actually a honda accord.. silly.. like that also give a fuck.. cant blame her if its a jaguar or merce.. or a 7 series BMW..

life of the little blue bird...

2008-05-19T22:27:00.004+08:00

i'm like a blue bird,

why am i blue, i do not know,

if you put me in a cage, i'd die... of boredom,

if you let me out, but tie my legs... i'd rather die,

if you house me with a gang of birds, i'll die... sooner or later,

if you release me, and let me go free, i'd live... more lively than any other birds,

you can feed me, but do not expect to control me..

and i may look weak & vulnerable,but i guess i wont die being murdered by larger birds...

i know i'd die, sooner or later..

but i hope i die as a blue bird.... not evolved nor broken hearted,

as i leave the world

i hope i'm in nobody's memory, as i'm only a little blue bird,

but i'll bring with me my sweet memories, to the afterlife...

thats when i'm being laid to rest in peace, in a little tile-sized grave... :)

malaysian MPs

2008-04-30T17:15:00.005+08:00

malaysian MPs aka YB ... i've just finished watching parliament debates in youtube, and i noticed something.. Mps take it too personally and in my opinion, i think its their tactic to waste time, and delay answers..

there is also this clip where a Minister used the word Bodoh.. and when told not to use these kind of words, he said "alright, i'll use tidak cerdik.. cos tidak cerdik also means bodoh" ... silly... such a humiliation to have these people ruling our country.. and he kept pointing his index finger to opposition MPs, and call them names.. if i were there, i'd tell him, "dont you forget, there're 3 more fingers pointing back at yourself " ..

total nutcase... i feel inter school parliamentary style debate is even more professional than the actual parliament debate..

primary days..

2008-04-27T20:05:00.003+08:00

flashback to siokjin's primary school days..

i attended sekolah kebangsaan kajang, after my parents cancelled the applications to sk jalan semenyih & sjk yuhua.. had trouble adapting in, since i was from a chinese based tadika...i knew only few malay words.

also, i had some bad memories there.. i wasnt a very famous kid.. there was once, my name was written on the board by the class monitor (names of those who were noisy) when his friend (who i quarelled with earlier) told him to write my name.. silly, i know. but i sat there, quietly, and cried..

then, at one time, i got back my BM test paper.. i got this particular question wrong..

Question : Kucing saya suka minum ______________

i answered air (water) .. i got it wrong.. i checked my friend's answer, his was susu.. and he got it right..

i muttered to myself .. "cikgu bodoh.." my friends overheard it, and told the teacher... got lectured by teacher.. and i held my tears till the recess bell, and then, when everyone left the class, i cried...

and then there was this science teacher, who said something who really did hurt my feelings.. lets not mention it here and i just hope i can forget about it...

things were not all bad during those days.. i used to be master in bottle caps and chess.. something i used to be proud of myself.. i was able to "beat" boy's that were bigger than me.. well most of them were bigger than me, cos i used to be very minuscule in size...

anyway, no hard feelings to my primary school.. its all part of growing up right?

...to be continued if i have anything else to add :)

oh my..... olympus

2008-04-22T21:47:00.003+08:00

yesterday night, something crossed my mind.. "oh heck, where did i put my olympus cam..?" .. "wait, my sis was the one who last used it.. " .. and then, she finally confessed that its missing... after half a month long ?!?!?!? F*&k man.. she took it out during her birthday and lost it.. and since then when i asked her "where's the camera" .. "later i'll give you" came the reply..

it was missing since 31st March.. and only yesterday i came to know about it.. stupid sister. she thinks she can hide it forever.. lost it while she was playing bowling at the silly metro point.. she asked her friend to help keep MY CAMERA.. and i dont know which "friend" is that, lost it.... LOST !! YES, I REPEAT ... LOST .. Or shall i say MISSING !!

anyway, i told my parents.. and they gave her a lecture.. but HEY, WHAT ABOUT MY CAMERA !!! hgsfhgfjkgj !!

so far, its been a terrible year for me..

Taurus Guy..(Taurean)

2008-04-21T22:28:00.002+08:00

A quiet simple man who can do something unexpected to shock you. Taurus man mostly medium tall, strong with good health, good strong body. When he talks, he likes to turn his head to one side on one direction. His body will be quite straight, facial structure tend to be square shape more than other shape. His eyes sparkle with liveliness.

Even when he is in love, he is still a free wild bird. He is a sand in your palm, the more you want to hold it, it will slip out. If you stand and hold it still, it will stay that way. Don't set the rules and draw a line for him, he will not stay.

When you are with him, he will think only of you. But an hour later he could change his mind. He is very patient with other people, but very impatient with himself. His world always turning and it will not stop just because he loves you. If he up sets, he will show it right away. If something has gone wrong, he will blame his own carelessness instead of blaming other people.

He sincere to his friends even to some friends he does not like. He likes to do odd things and surprise other people. He could be fully dress in a nice suit and jump in the pool. He could slap your back so hard just to make you turn around to see he has flowers in his hand. He never want to get too close with anyone for he thinks living in reality is living by yourself.

He does not care what people think when he behave weird. He could be walking bare feet and laughing at people who laugh at him and think they are so narrow minded. He does not likes to follow conformity, but always want to search for new ventures, new mystery. He will interest in a life of a millionaire as much as a life of an old man selling newspaper on a sidewalk vendor.

He like to search and analyze people and things. He will analyze his friends or his girl friend, and once the mystery is gone, he will search for new puzzle to solve. He can not easily understand thing, so he will gradually learning about you till he fills up all his questions.

He knows so many people ,but he has a few friends. He looks for quality friends than quantity friends. He will be close with some friends shortly and move on. He always feel lonely even surround by many people. He could create his own little world, and sometimes no one would understand him. He looks only for future and he thinks he lives for the future. He may wonder how many people think like he does, but he does not want to be like the others.

A man with a conflict personality. He is a cool, understanding, able to work well, and very artistic. Taurus man could be an artist. He could shock you as much as he is able to clam you down when you up set. He is a free spirit who likes venture, but when he wants to be alone, do not touch him but to let him be. He won't disappear from the crowds too long, he will be back.

He will give you straight forward opinion or comments, but will never advice what he thinks you should do. He does not like people to tell him what he should do too. He thinks each individual dreams and thoughts should be very private. He will use his brain not his body strength, so he will let other guys compete. He has a certain satisfactory in life and hate to force himself in competition. He may seems careless, but actually he is a thinker and a stubborn one.

He sees anythings in details and not easily trusted people till he thinks he knows them well. You can just smile and he will think why and what are you smiling about, and if you are pretending. Once he trust you and accept you as a friend, no one can says other wise to change that for he will not listen to gossip. He will be honest and sincere to his friends.

He hates lies, so he will not tell you lies. If he finds it is necessary to lie, he will find other ways not to tell you or avoid telling you anything. If he really has to lie, you will never be able to tell that he is lying. He can really keep secrets, so you will hardly know that he is a lonely soul.

If you want this kind of guy, you have to be an interesting person. He has to be curious about you. Hell for him is 'No Freedom', so if he marry you then you should know it is the biggest decision in his life. Always be interesting, then you could have him beside you.

all truly said, except for the one in bold :D (i suck at drawing..)
