Update

2011-03-11T00:37:00.003+08:00

Hello. It's been half a year, and I'm gonna do a little update.
So nothing really happened during my absence, except this one big thing.

I got a job. =D

At Ralph Lauren!

And, I really love my job!
I have learnt so much.
Work is almost always enjoyable, especially during the year end sale, I was allowed to do sales for my full time colleagues, and I have sold so many things and seen so many faces, and the experience is full of win!
Not gonna nag about not getting commissions since they pay me quite generously!

Still, I have problem saving, thanks to all my gorgeous polos! At least I still have money in the bank, unlike my colleague who had to borrow money from me to pay his samans :P

Moving on, I'm glad that the full timers don't treat me like a part-timer, after showing them how hardworking I've been. And my new manager trusts me, and that is precious.

Am I distracted from my studies, yeah, a bit, but I'm coping well.
Though, this sem, I feel like a free rider for the assignments of both the subs we're having, but it's more of a teamwork matter. I just can't work with some people.
So in the last sem I'll assemble my own team. Yeah.

September will be the month of my graduation, and that will be the month I leave TARC.
My program supervisor told me, TARC graduates are in hot demand among firms in the biz industry, and I'm not surprised, the way of teaching in TARC, and the way students study, they'll never be employers, though they'll be good being loyal employers.
So once September comes, DOT. Marks the end of TARC for me. I shall work for a while(most likely at where I'm working now), then I'll head to UK for a while, which will be bloody awesome. =D

Funny how history repeats itself. At the same time of the year, same dates, same person, same dilemma.
Like a flight of Penrose stairs. You thought you've moved on, only to find yourself in the same position again.

*Would you kindly get to the top?*

Sigh.

Header

2010-07-17T23:13:00.001+08:00

I designed the header above.
Took me bout an hour's time.
Do you like it?

Je suis heureux :D

2010-07-16T21:42:00.003+08:00

Hey, welcome back!
This my first post after many long months.
3 months ago, I've been robbed by 4 thugs on bikes.
I managed to escape, thank goodness there's a taxi passing by.
That incident left scars however, a few on my arms, and a big one on my waist.
And had traumatized till now. I seldom walk alone again.
I'd like to thank those who helped me in following days, when walking was a pain.
And sorry dad and mom for not telling you earlier. :3

I've been learning french for a few weeks now, and I really enjoyed the classes.
It is one of the only reasons to be happy these days.
Now, for a simple self introduction.

Bonjour!
Je M'appelle SJ Lau!
Je suis dix-neuf ans.
J'etudie commerce international a TarCollege.
J'ai un professeur de Francais, il s'appelle Etranger Mysterieux Inconnu.

[EDIT] Translations added upon request :D
Bonjour means hello, or good day, used in the mornings till the afternoon.
Je M'appelle means I call myself. My name is, would be Mon nom est, but its not what they use.
Je suis dix-neuf ans means I am nine-teen years old.
J'etudie means I study.
J'ai means I have, I have French teacher, and he calls himself Unknown Mysterious Stranger! [/EDIT]
If there are mistakes please correct me!

Some simple sentences, I'm going to update later when I have more time.
2 assignments to complete, one presentation to make.
Au revoir!

LOL

2010-04-17T16:29:00.000+08:00

If my words of discouragement became your motivation, then:
Congrats! Hope you enjoyed the process!

Charlie, you've been a good dog.

2010-04-11T19:06:00.000+08:00

Charlie lived with me for half of my life.
9 years old.
He was strong, fast(despite his size) and intelligent.
Other than lightning claps and explosions, Charlie was fearless.
He killed snakes and rats.
He's a real sweet heart though.
He can be so manja at time, especially when he wants to stay in the house,
No one can resist not petting him.
He has his own night life.
He loves to go out to chill with other dogs in the neighbourhood through a hole he dug under the fence.
Till date we have yet to be able to seal the hole.
When he was very young, he almost died once.
A problem in the digestive track.
His brother didn't make it, but he did.
Throughout his life he had battled other illnesses as well,
And he prevailed, time after time, until his kidney gave up.
He passed away this afternoon.
I think, he lived well, but he deserved better.
Rest in peace.

A bit here and there.

2010-04-07T19:23:00.002+08:00

Recently I'm really into playing stringed instruments.
The pic above shows my bass guitar and ukulele.

For starters, the Uke is really a nice string instrument to begin with.
Its much lighter than any acoustic guitars, and thanks to its smaller frets switching chords is a lot easier too.
The Uke that I bough few months ago is made by Mahalo, bought it for rm60. The other day when I went window shopping I saw another shop selling it for rm120.
ROFL.
Anyway its a decent Uke, after playing it a bit and mastering some songs you may have the urge to upgrade.
Only that, in Malaysia, I can't seem to find another brand or model of ukulele.
So till the day comes I'll still be strumming my Mahalo!

The Squier California J-Bass,
After months of dilemma between the electric and the bass I finally chose the bass.
Though I'm happy because I'm not buying some copy guitar(Squier!!!),
I'm not really satisfied with this guitar.
The tone is good, but its not really a good bass guitar for slapping.
Maybe I shouldnt start with the slapping first.
Should've bought the Ibanez GSR200 or the Squire Affinity J Bass.

Snapshots by Wesley.
Playing bass is very different from playing the usual acoustic or electric.
For beginners, it requires, a lot more observation, focus and patience.
And you don't get to steal the show until you're really really good at it.
Nevertheless bass is very important for it will make or break a song.

*Learning to mute those empty strings is a pain in the ass.* Argh.

I'm puzzled.

2010-04-06T01:12:00.002+08:00

Some times I feel so unhappy.
I feel so disgusted.
How can some just live solely on other people's sympathy.
As if, they have no brains to learn, no hands to pick books up.
And how some lecturers would try to act like good Samaritans,
Helping them to pass the easiest subs,
When they have actually failed.
Yet they could fail so many,
But still stay on the edge of passing,
Thanks to other people's answers.

What good is left in this world?
Should I even get bothered by how shallow this world has become,
How quality lives had been ruined by greed and hypocrisy.
How so few people look beyond the obvious,
How so many people had been brainwashed by charisma,
How they accept everything that's been thrown at them,
And how they would act as if they know, when they don't.

So many had been reduced to wanting money and women,
But never thought of how they're going to get there.
So many had been talking about god,
But would never admit their own contradictions.
So many had been glad being intellectuals,
But would often give baseless opinions rather than hard facts.

Ridiculous.

I cant help but noticing

Information Tech and System - B
Macroeconomics                    - A
Fundamentals of Accounting   - A-
Intro to Organisation Mgmt     - A-
English for Communications    - A

Average CGPA till date- 3.5516

I'm pretty glad with my results, getting 3.5 is pretty ugly, thanks to that C in the first sem.

The departure of two classmates stirs trouble for me.
Both of them owe me rm32.50, photostat fees and textbook photocopy fees.
I feel like smashing their heads on the wall.
How am I going to get 65 ringgits?
If you know you're not good enough you should have scrammed a lot earlier, rather than staying back and pulling down marks of fellow classmates and now, subscribing to the photostat service and then running away before paying.

From now on, all my effort I put in, I'll make sure that its for my own good, that I will waste no time on other people other than my real friends.
Now I'll tackle Maslow's Theory of Motivation.
Should make another post tomorrow.

Leaving for borga hills!

2010-03-06T02:29:00.000+08:00

Yea 3 days 2 nights so dont miss me :P

I have so many things to talk about but I'm just so addicted to PES2010 recently.

Among the things is that I've watched Children of Men and was pretty touched.
Perhaps there is hope in our dying world. If the world is dying that is.

If I am to fail in business and everything else, I'd join the British army, and hopefully the SAS!

The best special forces in the world!

Only the best can enter, and I can be one of the best!

Oh well, seems very unlikely that I'll fail anyway. Kthxbye.

My precious......

2010-03-03T01:21:00.000+08:00

I'll be back tomorrow.

It's two o'clock on a Saturday morning.

2010-02-20T02:37:00.003+08:00

I just found out that my laptop's LCD screen is broken.
When and how I don't know but there's a big crack at the right side, shouldn't have put it on the floor where it was very vulnerable to other objects dropping down on it I guess.
What a surprise, I was suppose to feel good that I'm going to go back KL early tomorrow, even planned to go shopping, but now I just don't feel like going anywhere any more.
Money matters, first thing that haunted my thoughts.
This is not going to be cheap, could easily cause a few hundred for a replacement, this was the main blow to me because, its CNY and its the season that I get some extra money, I had a bass guitar in my mind, but now postponement seems imminent.
I kept imagining how it'll be like, if I had just put it in a proper place, if this problem doesn't exist, things ~~does seem~~ ARE a lot better, but its no different than running away from your responsibilities.
I'm going to consult my parents first thing tomorrow, hopefully feel better before getting back to KL.
One thing is for sure, huge sums of money will be spent, and I'm going to be away from the internet for some days.
That means no facebooking, blogging, and even the guitar and the uke practices will be affected because I cant access tabs and youtube from my room.
On the bright side, I'm going to have more time with Atlas Shrugged.

Both my sisters are graduating this year.
One is sitting for her finals next month and one is waiting for her results.
Seeing how my aunts and uncles are, I wonder if our inevitable changes will affect the relationship of our family.
It's just strange, I witnessed a lot of conflicts between aunts and uncles and my parents, but I'm sure they were once like us, so I guess growing up into adults is not always a good thing.
When will be the next time we siblings can sit together and play Uno for hours?
Ain't change a bitch!

Happy CNY!

2010-02-17T02:55:00.000+08:00

There was no good TV programs on free cable TV, so I was forced to watch Farenheit's concert.
Seriously, they suck.
They dress like lalas, cant even sing the right notes and there's this one fella who keeps strumming guitars like he knows how to play one when the real music is coming from the back.
How furious was I! Probably affected by the book I'm currently reading, Atlas Shrugged.
"Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?" -Andrew Ryan, Bioshock 2007

Anyway Happy Chinese New Year guys!

Good day mate!

2010-02-07T00:24:00.004+08:00

Hello guys I'm back with a brief update.

Holidays are the perfect rest I need!

I get to sleep late and wake up at 11!

I have returned to my gaming life and I really enjoyed playing some of the good new games, like Borderlands and Bad Comapny 2's BETA.

I've repaired the computer twice too and feels very experienced handling hardwares already!

And I really want you guys to know that I really enjoy doing household chores!

Today I helped my dad assemble a big book rack in his office, helped mom with cleaning the windows and the mosquito-nettings.

Really glad to see my mom and pap happy!

Had to stock up for CNY so I followed them to Teluk Intan for some shopping and there was this new supermarket there selling food at really cheaply, so my mum bought tonnes of fruits and veges.

Visited The Store and bought some new bedsheets and decors.

And we qualified for some forms for a lucky draw contest.

Guess how many forms we filled?

These was just the first few. We got 7 forms at first, you get one for every rm30 you've spent in a single receipt, but then there were people who left their forms on the counter, and a generous oldman gave my mom like a hundred of these forms, so...

I have no idea how many forms we filled as well.

I think the main reason to feeling happy right now is family, the connection, you know.

I really miss my family after these months of absense.

Being around and seeing them, all the sharing and laughing just make this holiday perfect.

Confidence is the key to badassness!

Good luck coursemates!

I want I want

2010-01-24T01:10:00.000+08:00

When you're frustrated because of the crowd, do look into the smaller pictures.
Sometimes a bit positivity can make your day,

So, don't neglect everyone around you, k?

Death

2010-01-21T00:52:00.000+08:00

I had a dream. I died.
It felt like drowning.
You have so many things to tell your loved ones yet you couldn't,
Just like trying to gasp a lung full of fresh air but the waters won't allow you to.

They say death in dreams may signify major changes or new beginnings.
I say I need to tell mom and dad that I love them after I finish my exams.

Exams

2010-01-17T17:25:00.002+08:00

I have 3 more papers to go, Macroeconomics, Information Tech and Sys and Fundamentals of Accounting.
The 2 papers that I've finished are English and Intro to Organisation and Management.
English paper, I did ok.
For IOM I am glad that I really read up on it, was able to finish it pretty quickly, didn't give away my answers to anyone since I'm against cheating this sem.

No cheating please.

College does a bad job at catching cheaters, boo.

Shouldn't have a problem for MacroE and ITS, but I have the least confidence of getting good grades for FOA.
The first few chapters were pretty easy, easier than last sem's accountings sub, but after that its just, a lot more complicated.
Hopefully I'm able to pull myself together and start doing serious revisions.

I'm sitting in McD now, looking at my notes, but today I just feel lazier, I couldnt absorb a thing from the notes.
If you're wondering why I'm doing my revisions in McD, its just that I cant study in a quiet environment, thoughts will pop out and my mind will be preoccupied with philosophies.
Noise is the best distraction, and with noise I can have a mind clear of thoughts.

Times like these make me miss COD4.

Fast paced action, continuous stream of communication among teammates and that satisfying 'IMBA' score at the end!
One of the best things that had happened to me in college is that some of my friends play this and we went to the CC for a couple of rounds, each round was so enjoyable!
Anyway I dont play Dota, I'm not a Dotard.

Bad company 2 is coming out so preorder yours today!

Support original!
The developers deserve every penny of it!

Damn damn damn damn damn

2010-01-17T12:35:00.001+08:00

Damn I didn't lock the door!
I should have made some noise too!
Damn!

Pink highlights!

2010-01-06T01:48:00.001+08:00

Oh no! Someone dared me to highlight my hair pink!

Urgh, I hate chain mails and the senders

2010-01-05T23:33:00.003+08:00

So the title of the mail was, 'please read ^^'.
With happy eyebrows included so I decided to open it.

I don really noe wads this.. from frenn...

This is not a joke!!!

This is 100% true!!!

TODAY, when you receive this mail...

You will be facing the decision of your LIFE...

You must take this seriously!

I never send mails like this!

But I really don't want to mess up your life!

IF YOU SEND THIS TO LESS THAN 5 PEOPLE!!!

Tonight... You will see the most horrifying thing... EVER!

And you will have bad luck for the REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!

Send this to 10 people...

And your crush will SLAP YOU ON THE FACE...

Send this to 20 people...

Your mum will give you the gift you wanted all the time...

IF you send this to everyone on your list...

Your wishes will come true and your crush will kiss you...

BUT! You only have 3 hours to do so!

So quick, pass this on...

BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE...

I know, It's just a stupid chain right?

Well, I've warned you before...

Don't be as stubborn as Maria...

She received this mail just as you did, she didn't take it seriously... so she simply deleted it... That night, she was taking her shower when she saw this monstrous thing... She fell and had a brain tumor for the rest of her life...

Just be like Sam T.

He receive this mail just like Maria, He was smart and he sent it to all his contacts. The next day he got asked out by his crush and they were going out ever since...

I know who you wanted to be...

So be smart, pass this on...

You know who's smart?
People who dont forward the mail and curse all people on their contact list!
Aren't you all sick of these mails?
And to the senders, get balls get guts stop spamming!

Cancer boy

2010-01-03T14:57:00.010+08:00

I just received an email from a friend, that I would like to share here.
As below:

Hi, my name is Wong Kang Zheng. I am 15 years old, and I have testis cancer .. I also have a large penile fracture, from repeated beatings. D octors say I will die soon if this isn't fixed, and my family can't pay the bills.

The Make A Wish Foundation, has agreed to donate 50 cents for every time this message is sent on.

For those of you who send this along, I thank you so much, but for those who don't send it, what goes around comes around. Have a Heart, please send this.

Please, if you are a kind person, send this on. PLEASE HIT FORWARD BUTTON NOT REPLY BUTTON.

YOUR'S FAITHFULLY,

Wong Kang Zheng

Justin.Wong@makeawish.com

( PLEASE HELP ME LIVE LIKE YOU DO)

At first, I was left in awe. Poor child, you're only 15 and your balls got cancer.
But then I became suspicious, just like other forwarded mails of the same kin, could this be fake?

So I started googling the name, turned out many people had received the email before me, some showing sympathy and some, like me, were in doubts.

So I did my own analysis.

1. Testis cancer.
Well, the term testis in my opinion is rather, amateurish.
The only place that I've seen use of the term testis is that Form 3 textbook, chapter 4 I think, that we all enjoyed reading when we were younger.
I just asked my sis who's about to complete her medical course, and she said they would refer the case as testicular cancer or testicular swelling.
Yes, testicles is the more appropriate term.
Who would come out with testis cancer?
Some boy who's not so exposed to all these terms perhaps?

2. Penile fracture.
Now that's something more canggih.
However, a person suffering from penile fracture requires immediate medical attention, and according to wiki, cases like these are medical emergencies, with emergency surgery repair as the treatment.
Imagine a boy, with a broken penis, enduring all the pain, could look for a charitable group for money, and could create this mail for us guys to forward.
The thing is, this mail had been circulating since mid December, and with the number of erections he had, he would have ~~bleed to death.~~
Update: They don't bleed, but they'll get so swollen you wish you were born a lady.

PS: Interestingly, there's a group of people in Iran who enjoys breaking their penises.

3. The Make A Wish Foundation, has agreed to donate 50 cents for every time this message is sent on.
That would be evil. That boy would have bled to death in less than a week.
But time for the real mystery.
How do one trace how many times the message was sent on?
What they need is for the receiver to download something, with a spyware embedded in it, or else it is impossible to trace!
Or maybe, they can find the emails which had been forwarded and count the numbers of recipients, because you every time you forward, the addresses of recipients are brought forward to the next message.
This can totally be abused.
I could copy and paste contacts from other forwarded emails and earn Mr.Justin here a few more thousand dollars.
And people like me, who likes to forward clean messages, would delete all the previous addresses there and CC it to the desired people I want to forward, and therefore in the next email there wouldn't be names of addresses of anyone!
Carry on.

4. what goes around comes around.
If you're really dying of ball swelling and crooked burst penis and you need help, you should have been more sincere and not curse people to forward your mail!

PS: This is a great strategy by the hater actually, for many out there just doesn't have balls or guts, they'll forward all the unpleasant chain mails they get to you because if they dont, something evil will happen to them tomorrow!

5. His facebook page.
Funny. Clicking on his picture in the mail would lead you to a facebook page saying the URL leads you to nothing, but then I fiddled around with the url and I found his page! Justin Wong!
And from what I can see, he's quite active in facebook, 156 pages, means he's a fan of a lot of stuff, ranging from DSLRs to Mafia Wars, Tag Heuer, and the teen overrated sensation Twilight, but nothing about charitable groups or medical help groups?

I think its rather obvious.
Someone's on a campaign to destroy this kid.
Everyone loves taking revenge but releasing such mails ain't cool at all.

On the bright side, our Justin here is just alright!
So have a nice day guys, see you later.

2010-01-01T02:57:00.000+08:00

Just now, I wished 'Happy New Year' to the boss of the mamak stall below my condo, it was such a delight to see his awkward response. I've been thanking the college bus drivers too, and I really enjoy seeing them smiling back awkwardly. I think we have never paid much attention to them. It's good to make them happy once in a while, make them feel appreciated, their not only the ones who will feel happy, us, ourselves too, could be the one grinning even longer.

Happy New Year!

2010-01-01T00:36:00.002+08:00

Its 2010 guys. One step closer for me towards manlihood. :P
Anyway Happy New Year and may the force be with you!

2010

2009-12-31T00:26:00.002+08:00

2009 was a bad year.
There were really a lot of, bad stuffs going on, and joining TARC. It's like SRJKC(Chinese elementary school) all over again most of the times, and I really felt depressed most of the times.
For 2010, I really don't have any high hopes for College life, other than continuing my journey to get a distinction by the end of all sems.
2010, I shall focus on earning more money, reading more books and lifting more weights.
Romance side, is just, quite unnecessary, but I know I will betray the me now in the future.
Just, not in this college perhaps. I don't know, I don't know.
Happy new year guys.

Racism

2009-12-30T23:59:00.001+08:00

Recently in gameland, there are many discussions about racism in games.

One of the most memorable one is where a dude says Left 4 Dead 2 is racist because "SEVERAL ZOMBIES ARE BLACK".

Left 4 Dead 2 is set in the New Orleans guys, and I think having all zombies white, that's real racism.

He even says that Resident Evil 5 was racist too, because all the zombies are black.

Wow, by the way, I think white people are the victims or racism too, after enduring 4 resident evils, so now when the developers decides to go to Africa because Africa is a new challenge for game developers, and because the backdrop there suits the story of the way these new viruses to spread, Resident Evil 5 should have............... White zombies perhaps?

Or just forget Africa and come back to the US, or maybe Europe, and have white zombies and the same old environments all over again.
*Interestingly, he had no problem killing Nazis or Japs. Nazis, are like the uber white race, and Japs were midget back then. No I was just kidding

Unrelated note, I really do enjoy L4D2, its more fast paced than the 1st one, and certainly need more communication between team members.

Related note, I don't need to go far...

Racism is strong within my circle of people.

Sadly.

Some are so bored of the lack of racism, that they even go out and squeeze what ever they can from innocent fields like games, I just need to turn on facebook, and watch the comment flowing.

Or just sit in a nearby coffee shop and do some eavesdropping.

Even the government is promoting racism. Hey 1Malaysia! Where are my special rights?

Sometimes, I just hope that I was born a Banana, and I have tons of Banana friends, we may go eat the Banana boat and TGI's every Friday, and sit on the Banana boat every time we go to the beach. I just, hate where I am at.

hmm

2009-12-21T00:42:00.001+08:00

Hello. I'm back after a long hiatus.
Today, I almost wasted my whole day,
But then I watched Public Enemies,
Didnt liked it for the inaccuracies,
And learnt a new strumming skill with my uke,
I've never showed you guys me playing my uke,
maybe later I'll post a video, maybe.

I just can't escape my thoughts.
My type of emoness is not empty,
Whenever I'm emo means I'm thinking deep about some matters,
and when that happens you will see the blur side of me.
After being disappointed with changes in human beings for months,
I'm back to where I started,
The field that made me philosophical in the first place.
Religion.
I seldom mention this anywhere, even in my blog,
but I feel like doing so now.

So here are my views:
I'm an agnostic.
I despise religion.
I believe in evolution.
The reason I'm not an atheist is that I do not despise the possibility of the universe being created by a creator, though the possibilty is low.
Human minds are wonderful.
especially in problem solving.
However, we all know that there are questions that we could never ever have answer to it.
Like, where did we come from.
A layman could say, from your mom's womb,
Though the answer would leave many unsatisfied,
So deep thinkers would go deeper,
And some of these deep thinkers may develop their own sets of answers,
that they believe to be true, to be logical,
At their times.
Yes, in my opinion,
Religions we are embracing today are remnants of the old world,
A world with fewer scientific knowledge than that of today,
their best answer to the ultimate question would be God,
and his book(written by men or not, you know what i mean),
and sometimes I believe the big bang is the best answer we can come out so far as well,
through what we have today,
maybe hundreds of years down the road,
scientists may find a new answer to the beginning of this universe.
In the beginning I mentioned that I do not despise the possibility of perhaps a creator created this world,
Yes I do.
I however, do not believe in fate, do not believe in how God answers to our prayers, how he aides us in out lives, and how he loves us, and yet sends us to his personal burning chamber if we have 'sinned'.
God could exist, but just as a creator, and never as the likes of how religions describe him, or them.
Sin, is one crazy word.
We all know that the right and wrongs are determined by the majority.
For instance, bribery should be wrong for you and me,
but in India, or some countries in Africa, it is legal and part and parcel of surviving there.
And to be forgiven by confessing all our 'sins',
well I don't buy that.
We should all embrace moral values and be what society defines as a good person,
but when it comes to the ultimate question again,
Don't you think we are all too unqualified to answer it?
Another reason why I'm an agnostic,
And if there's a day that I embrace religion,
I shall declare that as the day I lost my rational self.

Some movies that I've watched recently.

*If you are reading from facebook, please be sure to head over to the actual blog for the full entry*
www.emoandnoluck.blogspot.com

Went to PC Fair today, there were many people there, but I bought nothing.
Those showgirls weren't nice to see either.
And I had nothing in my shopping list.
Sigh.
WHY AM I SO EMO?

Spoilers ahead.

Anyway, today I watched:

First how do you guys read 2012?

Two, O, One, Two or twenty twelve?

Tell me about it okay? ;)

Verdict:

Not bad, action packed, and the CG's good.

Some parts of it was thought provoking as well.
And yeah, there were funny parts, like Arnold is still governor of California in 2012.

But I still hate how over-dramatised some of them situations were,

How the americans were portrayed as this strongest nation(they had one ship! Whole of Asia another, Whole of Europe the other!), and how compassionate they were(only when some unknown american scientist started to talk about helping each other did the other leaders wept and agreed to open them stupid doors.)

(I wont die I'ma hero)

And how big the Jackson Curtis and his family's role is in this film, and poor minor characters die(people must die)

Poor Gordon.
And the ending was, to me, very anti climatic.

Decent entertainment. 2 hours was not too long, not wasted as well.

6/10

Zombieland

Well its not a high budget film,
But I had more fun watching it than watching 2012.

Its fast, witty, with an interesting story, and some memorable characters too.
*some ways it reminds me of l4d*
Downside has to be it being too short.
If you have time to spare, do watch this,
"Fasten your seat-belts, its gonna be a bumpy ride"
7.5/10

Up
Pixar's latest film,
And they nailed it again.
Up is very beautiful,
I actually had tears in my eyes at some parts.

In fact, Up makes you appreciate life more than 2012! or Zombieland!
It's just, beautiful.
I actually feel a lot older than the old man right now.
10/10

I really do admire the man, Michael Jackson.
How talented he was and how much he contributed to the world(charity and entertainment).
But sadly, he led one of the saddest lives in the world,
Deprived of childhood, working like an adult since young,
Poor Michael lost too much,
And he never had the chance to learn to grow up,
which led to his lonely life.
The talent and the tragedy.

I really have took him for granted when he was still living,
after he died only I started to really like his style of music.
And his dance moves(I learnt moonwalk because of him!)
And his sex appeal(lol)
Just love Michael Jackson to bits
.
Michael, Your love is magical.

Well well.

2009-12-02T01:38:00.000+08:00

I guess I'm done with being single.
I want someone to be there for me everyday,
One who I can share my stories with,
One who I am willing to sacrifice my everything for.

But I really don't know where to start,
Am I being too picky? Absolutely.
Here's a list:
1. At least of decent height and look
2. knows how to dress up
3. Doesn't spend like nuts
4. Smart
5. Speaks English
6. Knows how to dance
7. Has eyes that I can stare at the whole day
8. Very patient
9. Knows how to cook at least a bit
10. Willing to tolerate me =X

.....................

Anyway I think I'll still be sticking to my old motto first:
If you ain't good yourself why would you be so picky?
Hence, more frequent gym sessions are required.

=.=

The end.

a line or two

2009-11-16T00:56:00.001+08:00

I tried to tell myself,
That looks doesn't matter,
It's just something that's skin deep,
That its what's that is inside that matters more.

But my eyes refused to believe.

Caps

2009-11-08T01:47:00.000+08:00

Riddle:

Where can you find this?

(shoot the bull, as shown above)

Tada!

Only in MidValley's.

(I'm sorry if you felt disgusted,
Hey laugh a bit la Hahaha)

Behold!

I finally found and bought an ukulele!
I'll spend my sleepless nights with thee!
Do look out for me in facebook,
I may post videos of me playing songs
once I'm good with this.

Its a flatcap that I bought today,

I have a thing for hats recently,

I havent blogged about it so lemme show you some pics.

Patrol cap.
My first ever cap,
reason of purchase: pisau cukur incident.
I wore this for months already,
Dad says I look weird,
Blamed it for making me look
'funny'
(he just doesn't know how to use this word)
When I was mugged by triad members/drug addicts.

My first fedora,

Actually this was bought just a couple of weeks back.

Verdict:

A little small,

I don't like the stripes,

(Why did I buy this anyway)

Will wear this for parties perhaps?

Yet another patrol cap.

Birthday present from my classmates.

A little big but its better than my previous patrol cap.

1st patrol cap put into retirement.

One of the reasons of liking caps:

You don't need to style your hair often.

Kthxbye.

Brief update

2009-11-07T02:11:00.003+08:00

Recent Obsession- Alexa Chung

Everything seems to just fly so fast.

This sem sucks for me, so less enthusiastic compared to the last.

One thing remains undone:

*Secret!*

Anyway my eyes are born flirty.

Sometimes when I look at girls,

I don't glance through,

I stare into their eyes!

It always happens,

It is actually quite a thrill ride.

After staring the awkward part sets in:

What should I do after that,

Usually I'll just look away after a second or two,

Pretending to be looking for someone else,

"fail!"

Sometimes I'll just smile if she's someone I know,

Or someone whom I know I'll seldom meet.

Like that girl from the other class,

Who attends same lecture classes,

Geez I just freeze and look away.

I'm such a chicken.

I never do my follow ups.

Wasted...

Today was a, very very unproductive day.

I slept through the afternoon,

bought some groceries in the evening,

Walah, done, that was how I spent my day.

Tomorrow I will go to,

either Sungai Wang,

(times have changed, SW is less lalaish)

Or 1utama,

Or MidValley.

I don't know I'll decide when I get on the LRT.

Yes Impulsiveness rocks.

"Do you guys know I slept at a Mamak Stall

A day prior to Thrill the World?"

Anyway I'm looking for:

An Ukelele.

Couldnt find a shop that sells musical instruments in KLCC,

There a shop in Jelatik but not selling Ukeleles,

See if I got the luck tomorrow.

Some quirky T Shirt/s.

Something new to wear for college,

I saw some selling at Pasar Seni,

Quite expensive though.

A fedora.

Perhaps?

Anyway for I am interested to make a DIY tee

After seeing this:

You may wanna tune the volume down a little.

The other day while me and my classmates were chilling out

In Carefour Wangsa Maju btw,

There was this incident,

Where a young lady had her toes jammed into the ram of an escalator.

The emergency button was pushed so that she could pull her toes out

Ouch..

And people panicked,

Even the staffs there,

Then very unexpectedly,

2 of my friends,

Chin Koon and Kian Boon attended to her.

They were/are Saint John paramedics,

(something which I had knew

But had put it into the 'meh'ness category)

Kian Boon took out a first aid kid,

Chin Koon ceased the bleeding,

Then they cleaned the wound,

Wrapped it with bandage,

And let her helpless buffed up boyfriend send her to a clinic.

It the coolest thing that had happened that day,

I don't know how but that was really something amazing for me,

Some sort of wake up call,

I still can't put into words.

Anyway they rocked and I cannot let this go just like that,

So I wrote about this at Saint John Ambulance's website,

Hopefully they get a medal or something.

Their actions:

Totally commendable!

Anyway my time to sleep.

Kthxbye.

say goodbye

2009-11-06T01:55:00.002+08:00

I guess it is always inevitable.
Sometimes you know you mean good, but others may not like your way.
Human nature= complicated.
So, parting ways I guess.
Wish you luck, loads of luck of the years ahead.
Wished you well eh? The only thing I can do.
Goodbye.

kegilaan

2009-11-05T00:07:00.005+08:00

Well today it was my turn to present in English class.
Tutor say it was good, except my attire was.......
forget it.

Anyway I've been, kind of sick seeing people's faces, how they would show ugliness to every action you make. Sick yes I am.
I'll try to just tell myself to just ignore this, for there's no point wasting my energy thinking about them.
Hormones suck.

Michael Jackson rocks.
Damn he's good.
I had this conversation just now with my friends, with me trying to convince them that MJ was sexy, so I showed the video embedded above and some people went speechless.
Yes IMO MJ was sexy.
Not megan fox genre sexy, just sexy in an indescribable way.
Rest In Peace King of Pop. <3

Anyway I thought my presentation sucked, I dont mind if I was fashionably out, but I didn't really rehearsed for it, and my slides sucked, thanks to me being overdependent of the prezi slide(points below), no lcd projector was a total WTF news.
I could have done a lot better.
I should have.

a line or two

2009-11-05T00:00:00.002+08:00

This fog is so heavy, the silence too deafening, yet they mask nothing.
The world is so empty.

This Is It!

2009-11-02T23:32:00.002+08:00

Never had my adrenaline pumping since I don't know when!
I just watched This Is It, and gosh it was one special moment indeed!
I was tapping and singing along the whole time, felt like jumping around too and doing the air guitar when Orianthi did her Beat It solo.
Oh well, I was jumping in the shower just now.
Being an MJ fan, I was actually very happy to see that he was still dancing and singing so well despite his age.
This Is It also showed a more human side of MJ than what the tabloids been writing about him throughout the years.
MJ Is the King of Pop.

My prezi slide(without S!)

2009-10-21T00:26:00.002+08:00

I came to a sudden realization of the Truth just now as I was tweeting!
Because, I tweeting about preparing presentation slides, but then I realized, that there is only one slide when you do your presentation with Prezi! Always had been, has been and always will be just that one slide!
Alright alright, cut it, my prezi slide for next week is embedded below, its half done, lots more editing to do obviously, lots more facts to throw in, but in the mean time do play it and tell me what you think about it :)

This is fun!

Sad to see friends or acquaintances lose themselves without knowing it.

Or maybe its just me being selfish.

Because you can never go to court with China

2009-10-11T00:40:00.012+08:00

China is a great country. Kim Jong Il sucks and Russia bailed out 20 years ago, but China is still commi nation, but economically you all know it doesnt stick to its roots.
Since China opened its doors about 40 years ago, outsiders invest in China like crazy knowing how lucrative it can be. These event would eventually lead to the economic boom. Even 2009 couldn't bring China to its knees.This picture shows a typical street in China, and I'm sure you can see some shops you're familiar with.

There's a catch though, look closer please.
Most epic: OMG McDnoald's. yea its not a C its a G look closely. The Atheist nation finally found a God! And look at the giant M there's an extra inverted U!You've been brand jacked! Next time when someone buys you joe you should check out whether lady medusa's there.

It's so strange but its really ethically wrong. The Chinese society was once tied in with the likes of Confucius or Tao Te Ching teachings, but I think globalisation did it again.At least its not PRADU :P

8 oct 2009 spells...

2009-10-09T02:47:00.012+08:00

Ganyang Malaysia!

Ahhhhhhh!

Today, 8th of October 2009 was supposed to be Ganyang Malaysia day. In case you don't know, Indonesia's political party, Bendera, swore a month ago that they would crush and conquer us starting today.

Some of their methods would include:(from Bendera's leader Adian's mouth itself)

1. Waking up 1.45 Million Indonesian workers in Malaysia with their spies in 6 weeks time!
(Adian grinned after puffing some cigar smoke, "we have our own ways")

2. Utilising these 1.45Million people to fight us Malaysians

3. Strategic invasions- 300 Orang Kebals(disciples of some ~~bearded old man~~ black magic, impenetrable from all angles, no bullet or sticks would hurt them) would come from Pontianak and take over Kuching. Then they will conquer town to town. In less than a year's time, Kuala Lumpur would be brought down to its knees.
Update: Coincidentally, the number of orang kebals is of the same number of Spartans who gave the Persian army hell a 2500 years ago.

Bwahahahahahahhahahaha!

Wooohhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahaha!

Brrrrrrrrrrbbbbbbbbuahahhahahaahhahahha!

Help me I cant stop laughing!
conquering this country without the army? without air support without guns without ships? Even if Susilo BY dont put you behind bars after you started this, 'war', the commonwealth or even the Malaysian Army itself would fail EVERY SINGLE stupid attempt of yours Mr. Adian.

Okay lets not speak of the end so quickly. Let's see what are the reasons for Bendera to declare a Ganyang Malaysia 2009 (the 1st was during the Indo-Malay confrontation):
1. Malaysians have abused Indonesian workers and Indonesians in Indonesia never shouted "Ganyang Cina!" and slaughtered villages of Chinese folks

2. Malaysia have claimed Indonesian lands (in the form of rocks, pebbles and sand)

3. Malaysia have considered Rasa Sayang and Injit-injit semut their national anthem and Indonesians cannot sing them any more for singing it will cause patent infringement.

4. All Malaysians are jahat for keeping silent, and Bendera people are Samaritans.

In short, these people have 'bloodily vowed to crush Malaysian arrogance', as quoted from The Star.
Yeah you, you you you reading this, you're a part of this arrogant nation, and you are going to be here*.

Okay cut all the crap, serious matter time.
So yesterday night I posted on facebook:

" I honestly think Bendera will never conquer Malaysia, but just be more careful tmr guys, you know behind every idea there are supporters. "

Thanks Nicole for liking my status *wink wink.

First, if you're reading this, just be a little tad more careful. There might be those extremists who hails the idea and runs around trying to hurt people with sharpened bamboo(Indon pride). Stay alert and ready your pepper spray, or keris to some(opps what am I doing).

Personally and honestly, Malaysia can never be conquered by these people(Bendera). Like I said above, they dont even have the hardware to do so! And though 1.45 million people sounds a lot, its impossible to spread the message within six weeks, and most of this 1.45 million people will never try to hurt anyone, or their employers, for they themselves would know that the many people are good and innocent(new conflict here, who are not innocent then? give opinion thanks), or are just to scared to see blood.

Now. To Mr. Adian, with all due respect I admire people with ambitions, but when problems have already existed, dont you think its wiser to not create more problems? Or why not set a good example yourself about respecting neighbours, rumpuns of a kind or men in this world, rather than shouting "Ganyang Malaysia" and becoming little Hitler yourself? Just as you have spoken about a better world, you should understand that maintaining peace and solving problems through diplomacy is better than waging wars. Whatever selfish plans you had in your mind, cancel it, and sought a new way of 'crushing arrogant Malaysia'.

Okay some part are exaggerated to put a smile on your face. To read The Star's Philip Golingai's interview with Bendera head, Adian, click here.

Okay nuff said. its 4am already so I should be sleeping.

Hello hello.
I'm here to share some interesting events happening in DIN. It would be a waste if no one's documenting them.
DIN stands for our course, which is Diploma in International Business by the way.
The usual boy girl gossip, well, I got nothing to say, but advice of the day will always be: think twice. *wink wink
Anyway, today our courserep Eujin got nuked
Issue? Money.
Miss Alice the treasurer grouped most of the committee members before having a face off with him.
I was there to stand too, since I'm one of the class reps. I left early anyway.(I know I know boooo)
Alice did all the talking. She wants to keep all the class fund and take charge of all the future money matters.
Why?
Because Eujin's been doing all the work since Sem1, which seems to be good stuff, however our photostat fees seem ridiculously high which leads to many questioning Eujin's ~~wallet size~~ abilities.
Eujin was left with no other choice. He talked little and had this empty stare when Alice repeated her sentences.
I feel for the lad, but I have to say Alice was very brave, which was pretty unexpected from her.
Some's trust in Eujin obviously fell rock bottom, even since last sem, where few even talked about mutiny(fan ching fuk ming they shouted).
I think Eujin's doing fine, he wore a tee with words "I make things look easy" the other day, which I agree wholeheartedly. I know there were times behind the scenes that he was working his ass off for us, times where he stayed back because this and that person want to see the courserep of DIN.
As written above, I left early, figured I follow Wesley(another class rep) since I had nothing to say. Last words I heard was from Alice which went like this:"Let me handle all money matters, xx will do all the photostatting and you can continue doing you course rep duties."
That would hurt me a lot.

its not that I dont want to

Bought myself egg-banjo.
Crust of the bread was crispy.
The egg was tasty, thanks to the black pepper sauce.
There were bits of vege and tomato falling out in every bite.
Funneled the wrapper, sipped the juice.
Licked every drip of what was left.

Short lived delight.

2009-09-06T12:25:00.005+08:00

Why shouldn't I go vacation in my 3 weeks sem break.
(Well two weeks official, but since i'll be finishing my last paper on monday in the final week, we'll count it as three.)

1.Driving practice and test. I've failed 4 times already(shame shame), my L license expires next Jan, and after my second sem starts, there'll be no time for me to practise and take the test.
2.Atlas Shrugged. 1k pages, 3 weeks should be enough to finish a big chunk of it.
3.Family. My mom, dad, bro, sisters and dogs!
4.PC. I got 4 pc games in my hand right now here in KL. Wolfenstein, Crysis Warhead, Prototype and Street Fighter4. Must finish them.

I have a lot of energy in me now, too much that I don't have the mood to study!
Will be taking an LRT to Wangsa Maju for lunch and a hair cut.

On the other hand

There were moments, I gave in, thus losing myself to vanity, peer pressure, lust.

I almost lost myself thoroughly.

4pm dream.

2009-08-17T18:00:00.003+08:00

It was crowded with my friends, but there were no space for me to squeeze in, so I stood beside the stairs at a lower floor. Then we did the orchestral crescendo of A Day In The Life, and then that infamous E Major final chord, all vocally. Final chord lasted long, longer than the Beatle version, so long that it got so annoying, it woke me up.

In and around

2009-08-05T00:26:00.016+08:00

Me and TC. My bestest friend in college.

Let me put up some photos that I took recently.
I lost my phone twice 2 weeks ago, first time I dropped it at the college canteen, and luckily there was this kind person who returned it to me. Second time? Was a Saturday, I went to Berjaya Timesquare to look for a pair of new, cheap sneakers. Lost it after enjoying my McD lunch, never found it.
Wasn't totally a bad news, for I got a new phone with a decent camera, so I got to take some photos these few days.
This was yesterday morning's:Long taxi queue, they deserve it. They fix prices, hog the roads. I shall explain of the price fixing. When I first got here, there was this "RM1 cab" thing that I was told about.
If you get 4 person going to either the LRT station or the College(TARC), everyone will just need to pay rm1 for it. If you think that's good, well I shall explain further.
LRT station is just half the journey to the college, so I'd rather walk there than taking a cab, although its half a mile away or so.
There are 2 gates in the college, one back one front. Either gates, they will charge you rm1. But recently, these bastards refuse to send us college students to the front gate during the morning or peak hours, saying the road is jammed and oh what ever reasons. My lecture halls are very close to the front gate.
Before I forget, there was once when I took one cab back to my place from the front gate and the driver used his meter. It was just an RM3 trip. RM4 for these trips?
Now that they have a 20 percent price hike on all public transport fees, these bastard have raised their standard rm1 price to rm1.50. That's a 50 percent hike.

I'm glad that now I either walk or take a bus. I love to walk recently. I have a lot of energy in me, especially after I like the girl that I was fond of no more, I feel awesome again.
Late comers.
Back in my days in high school, such thing never happened. The teachers don't lock the gate.

Should have took more, especially the short cut I take. Be patient I will show you all the short cut in the next post.

1DIN3, with most of its members, celebrating Jin Yang's birthday. 1DIN3 is the codename for Diploma for International Business Year 1 Group 3. In our course, we're sort of the outcast group, those who did not attend the second day of orientation(when they divided groups), who changed course and came in late, what ever reasons. It's great coz all the good kids are in group 1 and 2 and that we're more lively, really. For example, group 1 never had get togethers, we had a couple already.
Yours dearest, SJ is the class rep, which I'm not really enjoying really. Taking orders and 'Happy Along-ing' for the course rep is one of the things we class reps do. And I have to answer a lot of questions really. I love to help, but sometimes it gets very tiring.
Put up some random photos of my classmates:
Jin Yang and Fong Fei, can call them Milo and Fei Fei. Milo's eyes were sepefied here. No they're not couples lol.Kian Boon and Chin Koon. I owe them a lot from the Accountings assignment few weeks back. Great people to work with. Yes that is a rubik's cube in Chin Koon's hand. TC is the master in our group and he sort of brought in this rubik's fever in.All the ladies. From left: Sue Xian, Lih Wen, Hui Fern, Ying Hong, Xiao Wen, Tze Wei, Shu Xian, Fei x2, Chee Hui. Stella is missing here. Shu Hwa too.
Hui Fern, Sue Xian and Ying Hong are very together, they're more of the study type.
Tze Wei was a classmate of Jen Lin, Shu Xian was a classmate of Adrian Ong, the world is so small indeed.The girl is Shu Hwa, lost to her in a game of pool. Lewis on the right and Asin behind there. Lewis is very friendly, often childish, though in a good way.Benny. Fun guy to be with. I like this shot. Not my shot though.
I'll upload more photos of them later.

College have been great so far. Lecturers are ~~very~~ good, so are the facilities, you got olympic size swimming pool(I'm new and good at breast stroke :P), gyms, etc etc. You get to meet ALL kinds of people really, weirdos are abundant. And oh, someone walked to me and said: 'I saw you in the newspaper before, you are a BRAT right?' Fuiyoh, that made my day.

Anyway its late and I got homework to do tomorrow morning. Ciao for now.A dose of narcissism. Tan is from swimming. Very used to wearing that cap ever since I ter-shaved and created a crater on my head, and that cap saved me. Note the eyebags.

Rest In Peace, Yasmin Ahmad

Lol, I lost my phone twice this week, first time in college, and I was very lucky that the one who found it was kind enough to return it.
Today I went to Berjaya Timesquare to get a new pair of sneakers. I thought my day was good at first, Michael Poh and his crew of hair stylists and breaking a national record of most hair cuts per day, and people get to have a free hair cut from them. Well I postponed lunch for it, but the result was.... well there weren't much difference really, Most Hair Trimming in a day suits the title more.
Anyway it was free and I got nothing to lose.
McD's was so crowded, I have to ta pao and take them to another place to eat. Sat on a bench and sms-ed my sisters and some friend about the event, while enjoying the chicken burger.
Threw everything away, went window shopping, and then while I was checking out some caps, fedora is in my want to buy list at the moment, that's when I wanted to check the time by pulling out my phone from the left pocket. It wasn't there, I was like WTF!
Went back all the shops after I left the bench, asked but non had the phone, even bumped into Cheau Yin(lol how many times have we bumped into each other already other than today) while looking for it.
So unlucky, especially this whole week, so many things had happen, not to my favour, feel so jinxed all around.

Review of Transformers2

2009-07-12T09:18:00.002+08:00

Before I get into any serious updates about my hectic and uber active physically life, let me just do a short review on Transfromers: Revenge of the Fallen.Describe it with one word: Fail.
It was such a disappointment, in fact, I would nominate this movie at raspberries as the worst movie of the year.
What I thought was good: Computer generated robots fighting, you get to see US ships, jets and tanks that are going to destroyed, tons of soldiers who are to be sacrificed, and, well... Nothing I could think of.
The plot is just too shallow, all over the place, and perhaps, childish, as in like reading a child's story book. Scriptwriters should be ashamed of this and their maths too. (5+1-1=6???)
There are a lot of unnecessary characters inside, like, well, Megan Fox, the Decepticon slut bot, and that extra just to make it funny character who joins Sam unconditionally whose sole purpose is just to entertain the audiences with by being stupid. Cheap laughs, shame.Bad acting, Foxxy, and amidst war, robots, and traveling thousand of miles, your lips still look good! Ironically.

Explosions are all Michael Bay style, which for me isn't a good thing, it just gets too noisy and repetitive until you'll get very annoyed, they say empty vessels make the most noise right?
And Michael Bay depended just too high on CG, which totally rakes away all the humanness that a movie with humans should have.

From a scale of 1-10, I give this movie, a 2.

minute update

2009-07-01T14:07:00.002+08:00

Shao Chen and TC, my best mates aren't coming today, that means my Accountings tutorial and HubunganEtnik lecture would be too boring today. zzzzzzzz
Right now at McD with my fans xD

Semi update

2009-06-09T14:52:00.005+08:00

Okay I know I owe everyone updates here, but I really don't know where to start haha.
Since I have one hour of free time right now, I'll just try to write something.Recent obsession: Klaxons.
I got a copy of their album Myths of The Near Future from FRIM Kepong the other day, and got hooked ever since.
Some of their songs like Atlantis to Interzone, Rainbow's Gravity is really good.
Oh before I forget their songs are all of psychedelic rock, so if you're not into this genre you may find these songs disorganised and all, like my sis(who will call me to turn down the volume if shes around like the other day when I watched Beatles' musical The Yellow Submarine).
Any how fans of rock who wants something different, just try this out will ya?

About college, its totally fun and TARC is really a good college.
My lecturers are, well, some of them are good and there are a few so so ones.
I'll touch more about it later.
And there are 3 gyms in my school, so best time for me to build myself up(puberty ending ady wei:P)

The other day I actually locked myself in my condo. I locked my room and was going to go out, then only I find out that my keys are in my room, ..... -_____________-''
Getting stuck is never nice.
I even thought of banging down the door.
Luckily I had my hp with me, so I got to call an SOS call, and then Wai Luo climbed in my room from outside through the window and saved me!
And oh, I'm staying in the 6th floor, so I owe Wai Luo a lot!

I actually spent a lot when I got here, and I was shocked too.
They say Rome wasn't build in a day, just like my expenses.
I just spend too much lah, and I had to restrict myself to RM10 per weekdays now.
Had fun coping. Sometimes I walk to and fro to College just to save that RM2.
And food here is often overpriced, so I had drinking water for every meal.
Don't kasihan me ok, hehe, I'm treating this as a sort of financial training.

Speaking of cabs, I hate cabs. As in cab drivers lah.
They're attitude sucks. Well most of them.
They charge RM1 for each person from my place to college or LRT station if the taxi has 4 person going the same place, if they follow their taxi meter it'll be just an rm2-3 trip, so they untung mati already, some more wanna show faces and all.
The other day i remember someone from the same cab asking him to use the meter, and he went on explaining how everyone would untung, how economical it was for us students and all shit. If only buses come to my place like every 5 minutes.

Well a little update and a little rant, Update more later. More pictures coming soon...

Btw, went to One Utama with my Sis and her BF Ben today, gosh I hate being the lamppost.
Watched Star Trek, it was really good. Doesn't have that geeky feeling.
Landlady is good, haha, and the view from the balcony is good too.

Fogman.

2009-05-15T02:05:00.003+08:00

Feels departed and lost.
Careless,
and running without cause,
Like a man in the fog.
Going everywhere,
As a freeman,
Light steps,
Towards the horizon of this sphere.

It's cold.

2009-05-11T11:58:00.002+08:00

The other day mom took me to see a medium.
Yes, those people who gets rasuk-ed by deities, it really changed a little bit of my views after what I've experienced myself on that day.
It wasn't as dramatic as what you'll see on the TV. Scary part isn't her jumping around(which she did not), it's with her knowing so many of my stuff
I couldnt forget the stare, and then she said, you got extremely bad temper.
So true la, and then there were other things like the time I go to bed, my internet addiction, the way I study that she was able to guess correctly. There were no wrongs in her predictions, though a few of it is quite common for kids my age lah.
Treatment? I change myself lah, plus yellow 'fu's to keep in my wallet and my pillow and one for drinking. I'm not religious at all but I'll just keep em around, and I still cannot find an explanation on how she knew so much about me just by sitting next to me and touching my palm...

Anyway I sold my current graphics card, but I still haven't delivered it to my buyer for my temporary one have still yet to arrive!
Malek from Kulim sold me his 9600GSO(G92) and used Poslaju to send it to me. It was sent on the 8th of May, tracking code EN197259102MY, but after 3 days I have yet to receive the item!
I remember Malek telling me that they told him they(Poslaju)'re having a rest on the weekend because Saturday was Wesak Day and Sunday is, well, a Sunday. Like what? I thought Poslaju is not some Government department(like stupid JPJ) that's bound by holidays, like duh, lets forget them 2 days, even now the item's not at my doorstep! Good service Poslaju, I'm never trusting you again.

Short update

2009-05-08T01:27:00.003+08:00

First the most important event of the week, I failed my driving test again.
I don't wanna get into the details. Just, try again.
I enjoy yumcha sessions with my Bidor friends.
Really, the conversations were really funny, thanks for calling me out.
Good luck everyone with you guys's future.
It'll be a sad departure really, but its life I guess.
Hormones are spiking, and I think I am liking someone.
She's really cool alright, but, well.......... nevermind.
I found a room is setapak already.
The lady who rent it to me is quite a clean freak, so I gotta learn how to be a little bit cleaner.
Rent's pretty ok, but there's this rm1 cab service every morning, so I can save a little on the transportation side.
Gonna take diploma course on International Business at TARC, hope it goes well for me.
KL, here I come!

Gosh so true :D

2009-05-03T01:00:00.001+08:00

I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just met
She's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m'mmm-mmm
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I'd have never been aware
But as it is I'll dream of her
Tonight, di-di-di-di'n'di
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
I have never known
The like of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this, mmm-mmm-mmm-m'mmm-mmm
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again

zzzzzz

2009-04-28T00:14:00.010+08:00

Went to Setapak to search for rooms yesterday. We didn't have proper planning, so we started calling those on the list upon arriving there, and, well, didn't really got to see any rooms, since most of them are ~~dead~~ still asleep or have rented out the rooms already. So my dad took us to The Curve!This world is really really small. Hong Kong dramas were so right. This car in front belongs to my elder sister. So we met her there with her BF aka Ben, my first time meeting him, He's kinda thinner than what I've imagine.
Had lunch in Marche's(read as Mar-shay). I'm not really familiar with its concept. Cool still. You get this card when you walk in, and whenever you get some food people will fill up your card with their own codes. Lovely salad. Love the sauce.Good root beer!(Not like the A&W one) Root beer's halal, didn't know it until yesterday.
Watched this movie. It's not really a good film, not a bad one either. There were some moments(I believe in MAGIC!) Kinda like the underdog theme, and paul blart's quite memorable too actually. 5/10Thinking of getting myself one of these!
PS: I've almost forgotten the Star Trek trailer. Freaking awesome trailer!

Some shop selling American army uniforms. Dad particularly liked this helmet(Authentic one from Vietnam war guys!) Rm288, woot!
Stopped by at Ikano Power Center.Best place to be when you wanna buy any sorts of furniture! I've mistaken these garbage bins for flower pots. RM5 shop. SJ loves to be apek.
Retro is cool mind you :P
That pretty much sums up the day, one of the Okay days I had in weeks!
Kitschen. Reminds me of Kit Shyen :P

Had a good day, not enjoying sleep though

2009-04-27T03:02:00.002+08:00

I went down KL with my parents and sis today!
At first we were going to scout for rooms for me to stay when I start studying, but we totally skipped it and went to The Curve!
Gonna blog about it soon.
Gosh, what a nice day, though I'm not enjoying right now.
I cannot sleep. I think I've injured one of my tendons/ligaments, serious pain at the right arm.
I don't really know how to solve this, folding my arm doesn't seem to work, and the pain won't fade away.
Screw the dumbbells, maybe screw myself. :(

As George says

2009-04-26T00:51:00.004+08:00

HELP!

I'm darn emo.

Hey hey! It's a sunny day!

2009-04-23T01:20:00.007+08:00

2009 is not a good year for me indeed, Zodiac's pretty true(yes SJLau is more superstitious than religious), so after ranting about how things had turned out for me in the post below, my mom made me bathe holy water!
Ingredients! Thought technically it's some bits of lemons, flowers and leaves, but it's still better than any kind of soups! Very nice scent indeed. The water's rather acidic(I tasted it :P), but it's fun having petals stuck in between your hair and pressing the lemons against your pimples, and came out rather refreshed! Feels like a baptism! Feels like someone new! Yeah, whatever :)

Mom did something good for an Indian teacher who got promoted, so he bought mom some pizzas from Pizza Hut,Really nice of him, but frankly these pizzas from PizzaHut don't qualify as good food anymore. (PizzaHut's fault!) Look at the pictures here:The bread's really really thin, the toppings are littler than what they used to provide, some toppings are literally carbon, and the only taste you can get is contributed by the pineapples(occasionally bits of meat and cheese)(where are the olives?). Thumbs down to PizzaHut.
There's a chain mail out there saying PizzaHut's a racist restaurant or so, but it's not true according to MCA's website. According to the someone someone(I don't know who he is seriously) of PizzaHut, it's a hate mail that's been circulating since 2006, and brings no truth at all. Well I don't know to trust or not because the picture of the receipt looks convincing, but I don't think I'll be going to PizzaHut's anyway for the reasons given above.

I really have like nothing else going on in my life, so I decided to take a trip down to Teluk Intan to look for Kit Shyen! BRATs should know who she is right? She's my freaking Guardian Angel!(although the truth was that Julian was my GA but he sucked but Kit Shyen did a great job pretending to be my GA so I treat her as my GA! :D)
I was going to take a 9.50 bus, but the bus left before I left school(doing some apps), so I rode my scooter down to Teluk Intan!This is what my scooter looks like, a red Yamaha Ego S. It's like the taiko among all scooters, very powerful(dunno how many CC though), can accelerate faster than cars(I think it'll win a drag race with proton cars), and I think my dad sent it for repair once only, very tahan lasak!
The only photo I took though out the whole journey. Somewhere 10km after Bidor. On the way, it was a sight seeing galore, but still quite boring, after one long stretch of old palm plantation comes another one, luckily I took my MP3 along, which is, well, I don't have an MP3, I just ~~shout~~ sing along the way, some people turned and look at me too but I didn't give a damn really. Dust keeps getting into my eyes, such a spoiler, eyes became sepet-fied. And it was real sunny, luckily the journey's quite windy, so I wasn't really having a problem with the temps. And before I forget, some bugger almost hit me! I was going straight and from right his car drifted to my left just inches ahead of me. That earned me some horning rights, so I just horned him like crazy and had fun doing so!
I reached there in an hours time or so. Parked at some big mamak stall and Kit Shyen came to fetch me! I left my camera in my bike so i didnt took any other photos. :(
Nevermind, I still had a GREAT time nonetheless.
On the way there I was thinking about what kind of car Kit Shyen would drive, I was thinking wira, or some kancil/kelisa, or maybe a bigger car or so. Then she came with this SUV! She's a great driver, obviously better than the guy who failed twice and got his third chance fucked up, if you're wondering who that is read the post below. Our conversation topics are so random, but it's quite cool too la, I'm also quite surprised that I'm speaking quite okayly after months of not uttering English sentences...
Went to search for food, but got to McD's eventually. Learnt a lot more about her, and I really am sure that we didn't expect both of us to both know that certain somebody, like wow of all the people, haha, the world's damn small right, gossiped bout him, haha, and that changed my view on him quite a bit, thinking of whether to meet him or not next week, or just meet Kit Shyen again!
Even took me round town, like round and round, was really fun although there's like nothing in Teluk Intan as she said.
And oh, my mom didn't know I was there, my dad didn't know I rode the scooter there, and my mom called me when we were in McD's and I gave her the usual excuse! Daniel's house! Playing games! Which was a really the best excuse really.
Honestly, I expected awkwardness and I was really nervous before she came to fetch me, but it really went well, zero awkwardness, nothing to be nervous about and she's great! One of the best people I've know of.
Fortunately it didn't rain when I went back, the journey was shorter(psychologically affected I think), met my first road block, and well, missed Teluk Intan and Kit Shyen and her SUV really. You're such a good host and friend, even treated me lunch(which I feel teribbly guilty about, I will belanja buffet next time!). I'm sure I'm gonna go down again to meet with you within these few weeks.
I'm thinking of doing extraordinary things like everyday from today onwards just to make my life a little more meaningful, but erm, see how it goes! It's 3am already and I'm darn tired, had yumcha session with my friends just now too, great to meet some of them who I've not been seeing for a while, watched one of X-files movies and ate overpriced Mamak food!
Out.

Stupid rant

2009-04-20T17:07:00.007+08:00

It's been a long time since I'm this angry.
Having failed my 2 driving tests already, I was really anxious to take tomorrow's, and I was very confident that I'll pass for I've practiced really a lot these weeks. I am going to college soon too, so I'll be quite busy doing all the apps within these few weeks.
Just now my instructor came to fetch me to Tapah, as usual, for a driving practice. Upon arriving there, he received a phone call. I am not going to take my test tomorrow. The staff responsible for computing the datas of those taking the test have "forgotten" to type in mine.
I was puzzled, my instructor asked whether theres anything that can be done, but the guy said that the office's closed because yesterday was some bugger's birthday, then followed by many sorries.
How angry and frustrated was I. I remember sitting there like I was numb or something. The instructor trained the other girl, and I was left waiting there at the driving school. Few minutes before I was sms-ing with some friends, chatting about where we're going for our future studies. The news just knocked everything out of me. I ended all my conversations and stared blankly into the horizon. Inside I was boiling. I pictured on how I'd hit him when I met the fat jackass who have"forgotten" to compute in my name. Went on imagining how I'd kick his car, threaten him to pay me 50 bucks(Fees), and all the childish shit. I really can't stand sitting there any more, I dash into the toilet and smashed a plastic pipe on the wall with a sidekick. Oh the anger and almost the tears. Totally unbearable. And they could do nothing today because yesterday was someone's birthday. Yeah right, everyone is having public holidays because of this guy's birthday. What makes him so special, oh because he is royal? Oh fuck the term royal! What do they do? Contributions? Other than joining some fancy golf club, giving people datukship, spending on people's taxes. They're great. Just too great. Why can't I be a royal? Because I don't have a royal dad! Them stupid lucky buggers.
Sad, I was and am. Every time when you'll be having your test tomorrow, the instructor would keep your L-license card. Just now while on the way back, he gave it back to me. I took it with my left arm and stretch my arm out of the window. How I hope that I could have thrown it away, that it worths nothing, that I have my P license already. Plus after hearing stories about bribery anywhere though they have these anti corruption campaigns, how the rhetoric 1Malaysia will always be bullshit and government's efficiency, really fumes me up. Another 2 weeks, ah great.
I swear that whenever I have the chance to leave this country, I would. I hate Malaysia, sorry.

Devil is Me!

2009-04-17T03:15:00.003+08:00

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

I like this quiz. I really am wanting to be a freaking successful businessman. Next time the whole KL would be littered with my posters :P Not to mention Subang Jaya, I'll build my fortress there!

SJ is hibernating

Dad plays video games!
Yeah, life is great.
Whenever you do something you'll get the retribution you deserve, and you can't hide from it! It's the Karma rule!(Don't take it religiously please :D)
Yeah well, just ignore the above statements, not the main story anyway.
Something happened to me you see.
It's quite, disturbing to me really.
But I'm gonna post it up anyway.
As you can see, hair thinning at the both edges of my forehead.
2 inverted Vs= an M!!!
Yes indeed, and M shaped forehead at the age of 17!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Shock and Awe!
Hence you won't see anymore pictures of SJ Lau online for the moment...

It doesn't really matter anyway does it? heheh...
Health report:
Wakes up every morning with itch at the palms, feet, knee and elbow. Allergies perhaps. Could be something neuro too. Dustmite probability excluded. Maybe developed from the stress generated by scholarship and college apps too. Have been sleeping late too, and mosquitoes these days are not as shy as they used to be. Became a blood donor, for karma sake. Should I be meeting the doctor? Don't think so, have handled more serious sickness without the aid of medication or a doctor. Inner nostrils always swell up, have difficulty breathing. Asks dog for help. Dog gave me Breathe-Right.Bloody dang helpful. Slept well through all nights. End of report. Bye.

3rd time is always the luckiest!

2009-04-08T02:02:00.003+08:00

This morning I took my driving test.
Everything was smooth and well.
UNTIL!!!!
Until some stupid Wira dashed out from the left and braked in front of my car!
And then bump!
I hit the car!!!
STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!
Was I framed or was I that unlucky????
The only good thing from it was that I didn't scratch or did any physical damage to the car.
Gosh I failed twice!!!
Maria and my sis both told me 3rd time is always the luckiest.
Well hope so! Have to wait 2 weeks for the 3rd time though :(

And you guys should so watch this:

I want an Amazon Girl from another dimension!

How's everyone?
JH if you are reading this please remember that you are not alone.
In terms of emoing I'm more experienced than you, and I do hope that you will never be better than me in emo stuff.
I don't know how to put good words together, but I really want you to be happy, smile always, etc etc the happy stuffs. Do some taekwando! Eat some chocs, camwhore! Do some painting, chat with friends on MSN, I'm sure it'll help!

Dedicated to everyone here, one of the songs that can make me shed tears.

No more COD4!

2009-04-01T00:48:00.008+08:00

PC is unable to boot up, so now I'm using my dad's laptop.
Better than having nothing, but I'll dead miss Call of Duty 4's multiplayer games!
:(

One of my dogs is diagnosed with bronchitis.
Poor Charlie.
He's been having these dry coughs for days.
Took him to a vet in Teluk Intan, his cough surprisingly stopped.
He was too distracted by the view!
I unleashed him in the car, he would stand up and look out of one window, then he'll move to the other side to bark and motorcyclists, jump up and down, sniff a bit here and there, scratched himself, then look out the hind window and front one too, randomly, looked so restless. He didn't cough anymore for the whole trip, except for a few short moment or two. Cool alpha dog even marked his territories outside the vet's house. Vet's job was simple. Tell him how Charlie was, he told us about how bronchitis is quite usual and gave a few antibiotic pills straight away. Then there was this talk between him and my dad about dogs, people, politics, and all the usual kopitiam topics. I was playing with the dog that was suffering from bronchitis.
Diagnose, suffer, these words are a bit overrated.

I love receiving sms-es from mom. Like today!
I sms-ed mom when I went for driving practice, telling her that I might not be able to come home before 6.
My mom replied: Ok!
Just made my day.
Mom don't always show exclamation marks you see.
It's just funny, to imagine mom's face when she says that okay with a !
Priceless. I love you mom.

Happy April Fools guys!
Well you guys must be expecting something from someone like me, but I got nothing to offer today sadly. I think my brain's running out of juice, it's kinda late already for a long day like today.

PS: I'm using the old Mozilla Firefox 2.0. I think I prefer this version.

Hey thanks Nicole for letting me read what you've written the other day.

"The five months doing absolutely nothing but laze around at home has made your brain shrink to
the size of a mole."

Exactly me right now.

Update!

2009-03-26T22:04:00.003+08:00

I'm not dead yet! And still kicking ;)
Future studies update first!
I don't think I qualify for any government scholarships. My BM got a 4.
So I think I'll likely study private then
Well my options is pretty much based on what they are offering in the scholarships(The Star and Nanyang), and I chose Advanced Diploma for International Business in TARC for The Star Edufund and 4+0 Bachelor of Business Administration (Advertising and Marketing/Management - Dual Major) from Inti SJ for Nanyang scholarship!
So what you think? I was going to choose Mass Comm, until, well, I find more myself interested in money than of other stuffs. Got a world to save guys, I hope you understand.
Anyway I took my driving license test on Tuesday.
Guess what?
%!^&%!&($#$
I failed. :(
Bukit and parking part I was like a pro, scored full marks heheh.
Well actually I thought everything was easy, but I failed the driving-round-town part.
Cis! I dunno what to say, I dunno where it went wrong!
The guy even crossed out the "driving dengan tidak merbahaya" box, like hello, you're still alive, if I was driving 'dengan merbahaya' you'd be dead already.
LOL I refered to my teacher a while ago and there's no even a merbahaya word in BM, Mer doesnt go with bahaya, it doesnt exist.
Ah well, enough with the rant, life has to go on, tatilitala....

I Dont Want To Set The World On Fire (3:06-aq) - Ink Spots

Results!

2009-03-15T02:35:00.003+08:00

Dealing with all the scholarship apps lately, so quite busy, but I'll do a short entry anyway.
My results... Done a lot of copy and paste. Someone asked about my results in facebook first so I wrote it there, then others asked in FB or MSN, just copied and pasted from my facebook profile.

BM 4b
BI 1a 1119(Or GCE-O ftw) 1a
BC 4b
MA 1a
MT 1a
PHY 1a
BIO 3b
CHEM 3b
SJ 1a
EST 1a
PM 4b

I'm totally okay with my results. Just getting a 4 for BM kinds of bug me a little.
Freaking government scholarships want good results for BM. Heck, I still applied for JPA and most probably UPU by tomorrow. Doing the Star, Nanyang and Sinchew's scholarship for private colleges too, but still yet to decide what to study.

SPM!

2009-03-12T01:28:00.002+08:00

Well I'm quite calm actually.
What's the fuss? Relakslah!
Gotta admit right now I'm even more calm than the day I took my motorbike test, that was Tuesday(yesterday). (Car's postponed, wtf..!)
Guess what?
I PASSED!!!
Wheeeeee!!!
Now who wants to be my first legal female passenger? ;)

Britney Spears WOMANIZER parody "R.A.T. Fertilizer"

2009-03-10T01:13:00.000+08:00

LOL!!!

What COULD happen.

2009-03-09T01:58:00.006+08:00

Hmm, I somehow find this scene quite frightening.
Cries of a dead idea- democracy.
An old robot that was used to fight the Chinese(200 years ago Chinese and Americans were the most powerful nations), now used to fight own Americans of different factions, still yet reprogrammed to have its dialogues up to date, spouting pro democracy propaganda statements in the streets of Washington DC which is what is now(as in in the game) in ruins.
This could happen.Lincoln's beheaded,
Washington Memorial, broken, Reflecting Pool lost all its glories.
From the game Fallout3, 200 years after the world got nuked.

Let's face it- democracy is not very healthy anywhere today too.
Doesn't have to be democracy, politics is bullshit everywhere.
Just doesn't work.
Never worked.

Come help me decide.

Currently listening to B-side wins again by DJ Spooky and Dave Lombardo.
Good techno never fails to turn me on.
So, SPM results will be out by next week, and I still currently am blank about further studies.
What to study? That's the question.
Help me with it, will you guys?
I really money ok, if you say money can't solve everything, well, at least it can solve most of it right?
So I'm ready to be filthy rich, and I'm pretty sure I'll be venturing into all the business world and stuff in the future.
But Jess asks me not to study business, I kinda agree, I don't think one with a business brain needs to study more about business, plus my sis is studying International Business(or IB, not to mistaken with International Baccalaureate), so I'll hire her if I really go large scale lol, just joking, but I still don't think I need to study business.
I won't want to study science and medicine stuff, definitely not medicine because I got haemophobia, psycology or philosophy I don't think I'd want to study it too.
So any suggestions?
What course would be useful for me when I go out to the business world and all you know.
Mass comm? Is it really good? other opinions?
Update: I'm thinking mass comm or language, rethinking psychology.

Anyway I'll be selling insurance soon, my dad is my main inspiration, the way things work out in that line, it's just simple philosophy: you do well, you get paid well. Part time insurance while studying, more pocket money you see. ;)

God help us all, not that I'm religious, I'm a theist you see.
Well we, being human, just need some faith to go on with life.

The end is nigh!

2009-02-26T11:36:00.007+08:00

Watchmen will be out in theaters next week!
Honestly I think the 'unfilmable graphic novel' will forever be unfilmable, so I don't think it will be a great movie.
But Zack Snyder did good in 300, and from the trailers Watchmen the movie should be at least OK.
Read some early reviews. Most agreeing it as visually orgasmic, some argued about the pace, some of the actors, and the Comedian being minimised!
Never mind, I'll watch the Watchmen next week I think. Will see whether its good or not myself.
Some of my complaints here, may contain spoilers.#1Matthew Goode is too thin and looks too young for Ozy!
In the books, Ozymandias(or Adrian Veidt) is 45 already so he looks a little old, yet physically he's got big muscles and real big body(keeps himself real fit, even does some stunts for charity). Doesn't see it in this picture. Yet I read somebody writing that his performance is good.Here, Ozymandias having fun being the richest and the most famous man on the world. The only favourable retired masked vigilante, for some reasons.Let's hope he really brings out Ozymandias in this film.
#2CG
Zack Snyder was the director of 300, and the CG of the film is f-king awesome!
I doubt about the CG of this film though.Doctor Manhattan's super power demonstration. Looks kind of cheesy to me. Hope they polish it or something.Can't say what this is, would be a major spoiler. But the ice looks fake you know.This Vietnam scene(wouldn't be a spoiler this) looks ok.

#3 Minimising The Comedian would be a large FTW!

I won't give lots of comments, but The Comedian is one of my favourite masked vigilantes ever.
Let me provide some combo pics.First he lights up his cigarette.With a flame thrower!Then he lights some Vietcong with what he lit his cigarette.Who's your daddy?Poor thing he didnt have good retirement and a good death.Ouch. Spoiler.
Some random photos. Visually orgasmic yeah.Minutemen. Early day vigilantes. Photo taken somewhere in 1940s. As you can see Comedian is there.Silk Spectre the first, here taking picture with some police officers.
Hint: Ever heard of Police going on strike?
Nixon and his four more years. Well, it's actually his fifth term after he abolished some 2 term policy thing. He's well comfortable with the existence of Doctor Manhattan.Hmm.. What's behind you?Here you can see Rorschach visiting an old friend. My second favourite character in the book actually.
Will watch the Watchmen next Sunday or the week after next week.

Last but not least, a teacher sms-ed me this morning.
SPM results out next Friday!
SHIT @$^*@&$^!*)#&^@(#^)(!^!!!!!
2nd week of march.

New Graphics Card

2009-02-19T01:48:00.005+08:00

Hmm... I just reached a deal with a guy.
RM380 for a Graphics Card with the performance of a RM600 card.
But it's second hand.
Then I realized I almost use up all my angpow money.
Not much to bank in, I bank in a lot last few years so this year bank in little may cause suspicion.
So my question is:
To sell it again? Let them bid for a higher price, then get the money(and profit) and buy something cheaper(and performs not as good), or just keep it?
~~I decided to get into trading. Something like stock market. Buy lower price, sell higher price then get profit.~~
My bro wants to keep it. Lets see how everything goes.

2009-02-17T00:34:00.001+08:00

Hey don't worry, I'm not sad at all.
Well maybe A bit, but not close to the magnitude of most others who also received the "we're so sorry" email.
Choosing a course would be tough.
I'm currently choosing between potential wealth and interest.
In this century, my interest like arts or IT won't bring me anywhere(at least in malaysia),
I'd love to be rich, so I think I'll be sacrificing all old dreams of fame and all towards a more logical and real future. Well, lookie, I'm not that pessimistic am I? =)

Ah well, a day in the life.

Dear Mr. Lau,

The Selection Committee of UWC National Committee - Malaysia has received overwhelming interest for the current year selection for 2009-2011 intake. All who applied, including yourself, are very strong candidates in both academic and co-curricular activities.

Unfortunately, the places available are even more limited this year, which made the Selection Committee's task of short-listing candidates for an interview that much tougher. After much deliberation, we regret to have to inform that you have not been short-listed for the preliminary round of interview for 2009-2011 Selection.

With your excellent academic and co-curricular achievements, we have no doubt that you will succeed in whatever you set out to do. We wish you every success in your future endeavours.

Thank you for your interest in the United World Colleges.

I am DONE with lazing around and 6-10 hours in front of PC screen everyday!
Today I went to Ipoh and met an old friend!
But I didn't recognised her....
So I got slapped by her in MSN just now, wahahahaha.
Really really fun being out there!
Really really happy to have ladies stalking at you!
Really really happy to have bought some pants, 3 books and a hand grip!
Really really love going out!
See yesterday I went out and found someone *points to the post below*
Today I met an old friend(which once again I couldn't recognise until she SMS-ed me, had fun shopping and being stalk at!
I want to be out-going!!!!

Unpredictable valentines......

2009-02-14T23:59:00.002+08:00

It started out innocently.
Our school was having Sports Day and we(retired students lol) were invited to go back school.
Well actually we weren't invited, just not enjoying retirement and wanting to do something more meaningful than lazing around.
I think I had the most fun in a Sports day this year.
I popped out of retirement there, a friend who is in charge of the camera, who is also the head of one of the rumahs, let me took the photos.
Snapped a lot of pictures, kept me busy, but had a lot fun.
Ong Kah Chuan came too, took lots of photo of him.
After opening camera was reclaimed and I went back to my friends.
That's when the syok part started.
I joined my friends, but it was boring, so I stood beside her for a while and started chatting.
At first I wanted to leave already, but she told me to stand there because some other dude was bugging her before I came, and that I'd bug him off by standing there the next time he'd come.

Well it's nice being beside her, she is one of the few who I can really relate to actually.
We were talking about what we were doing, where would we be going, even talking about ghosts in Wangsa Maju.
It was very very nice, wahahahahaha.
We weren't sitting together during lunch, but after lunch, she asked me whether if I can send her home.
And I did and that was the first time I carried a girl on my bike+ sending a girl to her home.
Damn syok for the day, simple but nice valentines for me!
I must be blind all these years man, and she must be the most underrated girl in high school years.
She got the face, the hair, the body, the height, an interesting mindset, and most importantly, we can chat!
Wheeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
She's moving to KL tomorrow anyway, her courses start early, so I won't be able to meet her frequently. Well I never planned to get into any relationships anyway, but if I get to study in KL(currently aiming for abroad), well, heaven knows? =)

PS: I think the mightiest invention by God has to be randomness.

The Tale of the Keris!

2009-02-14T23:09:00.007+08:00

See the keris and the silat in Malaysia is nothing.
People don't get impressed with it, we don't hear benefits or what.
Ask someone to learn a martial arts, they will always mention taekwando, aikido, karate or maybe even speak of Jiujitsu.
But look at this logo.You guys must be clueless.
As you can see, there is a Keris there, along with a ~~machete~~(still can't find the name of it), and 2 sticks(could be tongfas), and of course some Chinese lettering.
This logo is created by a French Jeet Kun Do master, for his Jeet Kun Do center.
See people out there appreciate things like Keris and Silat, as one of the best martial arts out there.
Bruce Lee's student Dan Inosanto too teaches Silat at his center in California.
Back here, Silat is dying.
Keris, not.
Keris will never die.
Keris will be still used as a weapon, to defend oneself.
Not in a martial arts way though...Keris, my friends, is the weapon for some selfish and cheap skate people to defend their so-called superiority when they run out of words.
What a display of Malaysian creativity!
That's why Malaysia can never achieve unity.
Today someone condemned Karpal Singh for so called 'insulting' the Sultan of Perak for wanting to sue him early on for the Sultan allowed the take over of BN over Perak to happen.
Some UMNO fellow took out the Keris again.
Ah! When will all this shit end?
I'm not mocking any race ok?
I'm just mocking some racist politicians.
Actually, as a Star Wars fan, if I were to be politician, I should do some light-sabering too!May the force be with us!

Woohoo!

A day in the life.

2009-02-09T02:17:00.003+08:00

I like having short hair.
Easy to manage, easy to style.
Today went for a brief trip to Ipoh.
Went AEON for like 2 hours.
Dad went to do big business.
I bought nothing though.
Oh, only a Max-IT magazine(wants to know more about them).
And met an Ipoh friend.
Hui Xin gotta tell you that you thinned down a lot!
On the other hand...
I liked how I styled my hair today.
It's one of those good hair days where you just cannot stop looking into the mirror.
No photos of it though. = (
Before going back to Bidor, we went Kampar to see grandparents.
Grandma asked me:
Boy, why go out no comb your hair.
-.-''
Anyway we LOL-ed together, old young alike.

I wonder how everything was like 50 years ago, when grandpa and grandma were still young, grandpa wooing grandma, cycling together, holding hands... and looking cool their way ;D

Bidor Bidor...

2009-02-07T02:48:00.002+08:00

I really would love to leave this place.
I need adventures. Bidor couldn't provide me that.
I want to meet up with BRATs, and some friends from outside Bidor.
Honestly, I don't know how long I could stay this way.
I need some socializing, and I'm sort of done with it in Bidor.
Everyone's not around, somewhere else, good friends are scarce, I wouldn't want to meet with them fakers and all, which reduces my social life to zero.
Damn lonely man, want to explode sometimes.
Also I'm addicted to this screen already.
At least 50 percent of my life after SPM is spent in front of this screen.
Nothing could pry me off, I long for a solution to this.
Going out would be one I know.
WAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm damn tired of nagging lah...
I want to explode! And when I do, the whole of Malaysia would be nuked.
There's just this ball of energy inside me, but I have no chance of releasing it!
Please release me let me go....................
Don't let me rot in Bidor......
I want to talk talk talk with those I really like to talk(like Maria who's currently MIA) or just do something meaningful for those looooooooooooooong holiday!!!!!!!!!!
The holidays that seemed to be short is really really really long now.
ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I NEED TO DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
