Dear Diary... #1

I enjoyed chatting with her through MSN although I know I shouldn't. When suddenly the computer was switched off, I panicked and switched it on immediately... hoping to continue the conversation with her. Yes, I'm still sick... so what? Kill me noW! >.<


Yes, I'm a fool...

Treasure friendship

What is the true meaning of friendship to you? Some says friends are people who will be there for you when you need a shoulder to cry on. Friends could be people who are always beside you through thick and thin. Some thinks that friends are meant to be 'used', and be used for them in return (both benefit). Others may think that friends are nothing more than just human being, there are good ones and bad ones, and they will betray you when the time comes or help you when you are in need of help the most...


Everyone should have their own set of friends, so do I. For me, friends are truly an irreplaceable part of life. It takes fate to meet good friends who will be with you for the rest of your life, so I truly treasure them. Sometimes bad luck strikes and you will meet some 'bad' ones, but as soon as I know he's not what I call a 'friend', I will try to stay away from them and maybe even not meeting them anymore, for the rest of my life. But until now, there are really no such 'serious' ones, yet (maybe there's one, lol)...


From the first day I step into school until now, I have only 4 (now 3) friend which I still keep in contact since secondary school till now. They are considered my very good (maybe best) friends. The others are either busy with their own life or moved to another place. The second batch of my friends which I still hang out nowadays is from my first year of TARC. Most of them are busy with work too, but we will try to hang out once in a month (or two) or more, if the time permits.


I value them the most, because all my years of studies (TARC and MIA), none really suits me or really 'bond' with me as a good friend, like this gang. Although 'she' is also in the gang, I considered it as a bonus and will not give them up for any other. Thinking back, I miss the time when we used to hang out frequently. The laughter (and some romance) was really sweet, and will forever be embedded in my heart, till the day I die...


But time will soon come when I will find another new batch of friends. Though the age gap will be quite far, as long as I don't mind (and maybe don't tell them? :P), I hope I can make new (and good) friends. Will they be as good and true, as my current 1st batch of TARC friends? I don't know, but based on the lifestyle of the younger generation nowadays, anything is possible! Friendship is also determined by fate (yuen fan), if we have no fate, the friendship will not last long no matter how hard you try. Still, without any actions, fate won't come also, right? So I must go on with life with strength and determination. Charge...!

Went for TARC Open Day 2008

Today when I woke up, mom said 'Let's go to TARC now!'. I was surprised and said 'Huh? This early...?!?'. It's a Sunday morning, semangat betul my mom XD

So went to TARC at 11am. Thought of eating breakfast in the canteen, but it is closed! I was getting a bit grumpy, missing my breakfast. Luckily after I parked my car, there's 2 van distributing free drinks in front of the main hall where they hold the Open Day. It was cold Vico and cold 'tongkat ali brand' chocolate drink. Of course I choose Vico, so I drank 3 cup of it as my breakfast. Ahh... I'm ready for the day!

Went inside, there were people giving a set of papers+a calendar+1 pen. I took one set, and proceed into the hall. There were quite a lot of people (not as much as PC fair, luckily). The hall was big and looks well maintained (quite new too). I was happy to see so many new students asking the TARC staffs for information. It's as though I'm a new student there, again (fresh feeling), haha...

My main destination is the School of Social Science and Humanities. But for my mom and bro, it was the doctor's booth (where they offer free check ups). Looking curiously, I saw some of the first year's student works. I was really amazed at some of the pictures. They Jay Chow's colored posters is so detailed, it's as though I'm looking at a color-printed picture. The black and white drawings were so wonderfully drawn, I can imagine it taking me a year just to finish it! Amazing, really...

Then we enrolled for the 'Tour around the college' ride. It was fun and informative... I went to some places I have never seen before (newly constructed) and TARC was waaaay better (in a lot of terms) than a few years before, when I studied there. The best tour was the new 'kitchen'. It's the place to teach the food service students how to cook and stuffs. It's new, and the kitchen is fully equipped with cooking and cleaning utensils. We even have a free taste of a pudding (nice!) and chocolate cookie (a bit hard). I heard that students can dine the food prepared by other students there too (standard priced!).

The computer lab is also now using flat screens (last time, old CRT monitors!) and the library even have group discussion rooms (with air-cond). I was really glad the old TARC image in my mind is now substitute with a new, high-tech and neat college. And it's still very affordable too! XD


P/S: The PTPTN people even asked me 'This year are you 18 years old yet?'. I was so happy! LOL

Regrets in life

Everyone have a point where they regretted something they do in life. Some regretted they choose the wrong course of study, others regretted they work in the wrong field. I too made a lot of regrettable choices in life. I studied and tried a lot of courses. But all are either too hard or just not what I wanted to work with for the rest of my life...




I know I sound lame/ lazy/ irresponsible but there's some other serious reason (which I can't mention here) that changed my perception in life, and 'blocked' me from continuing my journey. I am not that strong, thus those 'incidents' really leave a huge impact on my life. I admit I play a main role in it and I regretted that I made those choices then, but it is what I really want...

Now a new chapter in my life will start again. It will be hard to endure as the age difference will surely be a factor. I will need to make new friends, which will be hard considering I really sucks in the 'socializing' department. But I know, this will be the end of my chapter in life (sound serious?). I will endure the last 2 or 4 years in this new course I have chosen, and hope to regain my lost confidence in the process too.

I will need to be more serious and grow up from my bad attitudes. It will be hard, I don't know if I could stand all of it, but I will... I must! I will graduate way later than all my friends, but at least I'm doing it rather than not doing it at all. I don't want to spend the rest of my life as a 'house boy' anymore. I will prove that I can be successful too. It is better to be late than never!



I hope my friends and family will also give me strength to pass this journey in life... One step at a time, I will surely climb to the top. Wait for me world!

Weird findings

Two night ago (Tuesday night), went to yamcha like normal with David and Daniel. We watch an old movie through the mamak's TV, which has HBO. Although old, it was actually nice, funny and... sentimental. A lot of new movies I'm usually not interested to watch, so watching an old movie (some more I like it) was really a weird discovery... pity I don't know the movie's title! I only know that the 'plump' old-ghostbuster-the-movie-guy was the main actor in it.

So as time was getting late, we decided to go back earlier. Then on the way to my house, we saw something 'strange looking' animal crossing the road... very slowly! So David drive slower, trying not to squash whatever that it is and let it crosses to the other side. We try to identify it and it looks like an alien monster! Haha, not really... but it loos weird, with a small body and grayish in color. I asked them "Is it a 'tenggiri'?!?" They also not sure, but the super-curious Daniel take no time and terus go down the van and went nearer to the animal, trying to take some pics of it...! o.O;

Then I tell David to park nearby so we can all go see the animal up close and personal. But unfortunately, as it crawls and crawls, it was frighten by Daniel's appearance (maybe) and went into a sewer hole! Argh, there goes a rare discovery!! I think it was actually an armadillo, but a young one. Thus we can't see a 'shell' on the back of it, like most armadillo adults do. It is the first time I seen one near my place, maybe because it only comes out at night.

It was actually cute, I thought of saving it and bringing it to the zoo the next day (or it might get squashed by the cars or eaten by the dogs one day). If the zoo don't accept it, I can either make it as a pet or put it nearer to the jungle at least...! Really dangerous to see an armadillo on the streets. I hope no evil people will find it and turn it into medicine! For the pics, hope Daniel will post it in his blog, one day...

Take care armadillo-boy... beware of the cars while crossing the street next time! XD

Color of your clothes

Don't know if this is real or not, but Mr Phua Chu Kang told me about this early this morning... XD


If you wear green, means you want money to come in (your pocket)- because money is green!

If you wear yellow, means you want to be remembered- so flashy, who wont?

If you wear red, means you want attention- red like blood ma, haha...

If you wear white, means you can be trusted- you trust the doctors, no?


You believe or not? Up to you... XD

A shocking outcome from the General Election 2008 part 2

Lately not much news about the general election. Although Samy Velu lost Sg Siput, I heard he will still continue to be MIC president... true or not, I can't confirm. Gerakan leader also lost, but no news of he going to continue to work in politics. Politics is a very very strange thing indeed. While party leaders lost, a famous blogger successfully joined the politics, and even won a parliamentary seat. Anwar's daughter was in politics for the first time, and she even won another famous BN candidate! Shocking and weird election indeed...

Apart from Malaysia, corruption usually happened in other countries too. Is there a country who really doesn't do any corruption at all (by their politicians)? I highly doubt so... maybe, but very low percentage. It's sad that those politicians who first think of helping the people, but eventually end up just thinking about themselves. Why is there so little uncorrupted politicians in this world? Sad indeed...

They will feel no regret or shame even though how much people criticize their bad acts. Money is most important, and it 'bought' their soul already. This means they will later leave the party with so much money hidden in their bank accounts, even their children no need work also can survive liao. But Hell is waiting to claim these corrupted souls when they die... enjoy while you can! >(

Aiih, the more I think about it, the more I'm pissed of those corrupted politicians. I know I can't do anything but blog about it (which I'm doing now). Let's hope Malaysia will be prosperous under the new opposition party. But how long will it last before they turn corrupted too? I wonder.....

A shocking outcome from the General Election 2008

So as most of you have know... BN won more than 50% of votes ONLY, and didn't get 2/3 of the majority of votes like the last general election. Law and order will now need to be agreed by ALL before it is permitted and can be implemented. This happens when you don't get the full power...


So, is this a good sign, or a bad one? No one knows. In fact, how the outcome turned out to be like this really shocked a lot of people too. I was amazed how the opposition party gang up. If you noticed, in last general election, each state or parliamentary seat are usually contested by BN and another 2 opposition party. This causes the votes between the 2 opposition party to be split into two, thus BN won most of them. Now they are smart, and they only put ONE opposition party in each seat, thus making their positions stronger, and won a lot of BN seats.


The second reason why BN lost was maybe because they are too proud or lazy (maybe RASUAH is a reason too). They think they will continue to win FOREVER, thus not doing a lot of development. I'm not saying they didn't, just slower. Some only 'maintain' it without doing anything! This will of course upset the people. Who wants a slob as a leader?


The third reason could be because of people's thinking. I can see a lot of people thinking 'Sure, we support BN, but we cannot let them win too much or else they will think they are soooo powerful'. So what do they do? They will choose the opposition party so that the gap won't be that big. But a small fire can become large... since so many thinks like that and really do it, guess who'll be happy in the end?


Fourth reason... the government. We all thank them for doing a good job in keeping the peace and harmony in Malaysia. But what about those bad apples, hiding in the back? The continue to disgust Malaysia with their laziness, racism attitude, rasuah and ignorance. The people are mad because they can't complain when their words are not heard or ignored. Being pushed from one person to another in the complain department is NOT helping either. So what do they do? Revenge is the key...! The ONLY key.....


I felt sad that BN lost actually, maybe because I'm not sure if the opposition could do a better job or not + not all BN candidates are bad, just some are. But since the nasi sudah jadi bubur, what we can do now is see how well the future of Malaysia will be. As long it is for the better of ALL, whoever rules also not a problem. But if they suck, we know what to do in the next election! Right.....?


To be continue...

Vote for tomorrow!

Sorry for lack of updates... bro just bought a PSP and been busy playing games on the cool and super nice graphic, hand-held console. The game: FFTactics! XD





Anyway, finally the day every Malaysian citizen is waiting for... the Pool Election Day is tomorrow! I heard it is compulsory leave for everyone tomorrow (for those working or college?), so you can't give the excuse of 'Working la, not free la!'. But then, do that mean supermarkets like Jusco and Tesco will be closed too? Hmmm...

Finally today take up the initiative to check online to confirm where am I supposed to vote at. I was a bit disappointed when they told me my area was actually not 'Taman Melawati', where Daniel and David resides. I should vote in Taman Melati, as one of my neighbour told me. Awww, that means I will need to vote alone!

But later another funny thing happened, the politicians started to hang their banners and plastic posters near my area... it would be a normal thing, except the area for voting is Wangsa Maju! Wth!? So does that mean I SHOULD vote in Wangsa Maju? But my place is Taman Melawati, which is quite far from there! Even Daniel's dad and uncle 'garu their kepala' when I told them this, lol...

Election really is a funny and messy thing. So, I decided not to listen to anyone and Google for it myself at 11.55am... it was not hard, yet not easy too. The 'konon-kononnya' keng government website which people can check through the 'Electoral Poll', doesn't work! Don't know if its down or too many ppl clicking it at the same time, the page just doesn't load. So feeling tulan, I googled for 'SMS Electoral Poll'.

And 'poof!' comes a web page, teaching me in details how to check the votes. Although it wrote that the details can be checked from the government website, but it also teaches me how to check by SMS too. So, without further delay, I tried it out... and it works! Those that STILL haven't check, here's the way. SMS to 33030. Type 'SPR' then space, followed by your IC number (don't need to type the '-'). It's that easy!

I found out later that my place is situated in Hulu Kelang, Gombak. And the place to vote is none other than... my old secondary school! ^^ I was happy cause I don't need to go so far and vote in some unknown school. I never went into my secondary school since after college... wonder how is it now. Hope to see some of my old friends there too IF they decided to vote. Jom... Kita Undi! XD

How many crush(es) did you have in your lifetime?

Haha, maybe it seems weird to be discussing this in my blog... but it's just one of the things you wonder and never really cared about... right? Is having too many crushes good or bad? Is having very few crushes means you are too busy to study/work or just too plain or boring?

I have friends who's crushes can make up to two football teams of people... and I got friends who only had the amount of one basketball team (of crushes). Maybe it's just me, but in my whole lifetime, I have only had 4-5 ones... and I'm pretty sure I was serious to all of them (although it was one sided, lol).

According to my survey, most of the crushes (the girls/boys you like) are found during your college life. That is when you really think about love and your hormones go crazy, itching to find your other half. But as time changes, I think love will occur even more during secondary schools nowadays compared to a few years back... The world is turning upside down, as my friend said, lol.

Since you (had) so many or so few crushes... have you ever stop and wonder what has happened to them now? No, right? Of course, it's because we let bygones be bygones, which means we don't seek what we have lost... Or is it really because we just don't give a damn anymore? Haha...

So let the past be history. Go on with our life and find a better one, as there are still many fishes in the sea. Remember the past, how it makes you feel good and all tingly inside... Remember the guts, when you dared yourself to tell her/him that you like her and got rejected... Remember the memories you had, one of the few rare moments in life that you were feeling the most happy and care-free of all... Remember and do not forget, but keep it inside and use it as a fuel to drive yourself to find another which is still waiting for you somewhere, out there!

Love makes you do curious stuffs, but remember... what you do will affect the rest of your (and another) life forever. So think wise, and be responsible. ~Cheers~

How I spent my leap year day, 29th February 2008

WARNING: SUPER LONG POST AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!



Yesterday was a leap day (or whatever it is called). I didn't really know it until I received an sms from WingC, asking if I want to go PJ for yamcha. I was at first shocked why she would suddenly asked me out so far, on a Friday night. Feeling bored at home, I called Daniel. He said he would go too (that takes care for my transportation home, hehe). So I feeling 'hyped', I called Jimmy and he said we are going out to celebrate the leap year day, and 'she' is going too (as I expected). Soooo.... let's bogey!

Asked my bro to send me to the LRT, and from Wangsa Maju I took the LRT allllll the way to Tmn Bahagia (which is nearly from one end to the other). It was so bored standing alone in the LRT with so many ppl, for 50 min! Arrived 7 min late, Jimmy was waiting at Tmn Bhg... and it was raining. So quickly drive to WingC house, say hi to her mom, and fetched her to go to the destination for dinner. Daniel was already there.

Reached the place... forgot the place name liao. It's nearby WingC place. It was raining freaking heavily, so when we finally found a parking space (which strangely was just next to Daniel's car!), took the umbrella and walk there. I was shocked as the place we are going to eat was actually open air! Thus, as it was raining heavily, means no place to sit! Found Daniel sitting alone, we find for a better sit in the heavy rain. Finally I found one, but not without making my shoes 70% absorbed in water and my shirt 30% wet.

After we sit for around 10 min, YLing and CMing came. She was actually in front of us but can't see us because of the heavy rain, lol (only saw after I waved). Sitting there, we realised WingC and CMing already took dinner. So I went to survey the huge variety of food there with YL. Finally YL ordered 'Lou She Fan Shark Fin Soup'. Wow, first time seen before... it wasn't very expensive and taste ok too (but fake shark fin la, of course lol). I was feeling 'happy', so called some Sushi and then a French Loaf. The Sushi is for all to eat, while I ate the French Loaf alone.

Jimmy ordered some kind of big Wanton soup mee, while Daniel ordered the most exp, which is Ikan Bakar and Oyster Omelette. Mine total around RM10, but his total RM22, wahlao...! Anyway, he was kind enough to let us all taste some too (but I don't eat Oyster Omelette's, yuck!). CMing saw me ordered French Toast and ordered one for himself too. YL ordered a big jug of fruit drink, which is a far better deal than the medium ones we ordered (I thought mine was already large!). Then later I ordered another dish of 'Loh Bak Go' for myself as I was not full.

As we drink and eat, we discussed about the plans to go out on March (Penang). Unfortunately it was cancelled because not enough cars to go (only Jimmy's). Then we planned to go other places like Genting, Ipoh and Malacca, but all was still blurry and indecisive...

Then we decided to have a second round at Souled Out, near Damansara/ Sri Hartamas area. As expected, the place was really 'happening' and nice, with loud and nice musics, LCD TVs and a dark room with some disco lights. The 4 of them drank a jug of Heinekan beer, while I drank Ice Coffee Latte (with Haagen Diaz ice-cream inside, very nice!) and WingC a cup of Hot Choc. Only YL drank 2 cup of beer, but she was not drunk. Else I MAY have tried to tell her..... something, haha. Also ordered one plate of F/Fries + Onion Fries. SO totalled (Rm50+RM15+RM7+RM8)+15% tax = RM92! Once in a life time, nvm la...

Suddenly, forgot from who's idea, we decided to go Genting... right then, right now! They were all feeling hyped, so I decided to follow (although I dislike to go Genting by car due to car sickness). YL also thought of not joining, but as Jimmy said, if we made the initiative, she will follow, and so she did. She thought of not going because she was sleepy and her clothing was not so appropriate (a t-shirt, a long pants and wearing sandals).

So, feeling crazy, we head over to Jimmy's house to stock up on sweaters and jackets for the Genting trip. CMing also parked his car there, cause afraid his car cannot 'stand' going up Genting. He followed Daniel's car, while YL followed Jimmy, we finally head for Genting on the wee hours of the night... around 2am. This is the first crazy stunt for both me and Daniel... maybe the others too. Looks like we are still 'young' hearted, LOL!

Sitting at the back seat, I can feel the 'pain' in my head and ear drums as we head higher and higher towards Genting. But it was ease a bit by talking to them and some YL subject even pop up, haha... After we park our car, we finally step out of the car and then.... grrrr, so COLD! Walao, either I'm old or long time no go Genting liao, I didn't remember feeling THIS cold last time! I think cause it's too late...

Enduring the freaking coldness, we find our way towards the lobby of the Genting Hotel and waited for Jimmy, WingC and YL. After they came, we again need to go high and low, up and down, cold and MORE cold, to finally find our way to the only 'mamak' restaurant in Genting, hidden in a car park. I ordered a nasi lemak (RM3.00!) and a Hot Milo (forgot to pay CMing back). We rested a while there, before continuing our 'gila' expedition...

Next, we head over to the casino (around 2-3am). It was Daniel's and YL's first time there (I already went in when I was 17, hehe). After watching people play, Jimmy finally decided to play. Soon, I joined in the fun too. So the 3 of us play the roll-3-dice table, and Yl, CMing with Daniel decided to have a scroll outside the casino. I wanted to join, but I was busy trying to win back my RM50, lol...

All the bets I did, it turned out wrong... From 10 RM5 tokens, I was only left with 3, and Jimmy with WingC only left 1. We decided to make it our last bet, so I picked my 3 fav numbers, 6, 7 and 8 while they choose 7 or 8, I forgot. They opened the lid, and BINGO! I won my FIRST bet! It turned up to be a total of 6, so one of my bet striked. With a 1x18 for the number 6, my RM5 multipled by 18, so I won RM90! I gave 3 Rm5 tokens to Jimmy them cause I was happy I won, thus in the end after minus my capital of RM50, I won Rm30! Woohoo!! Unfortunately I think Jimmy with WingC lost Rm50++...

After that we waited for the others outside of the casino. Before I was able to break the good news, CMing told us he lost his wallet! Wth!? He thinks he lost it when sitting on the chair, so we quickly headed there. As expected, it wasn't there (it was one of the chairs at the the main hotel lobby! so many ppl move around there, I wouldn't expect to find it too). So I told CMing it's either stolen, or MAYBE the hotel ppl found it, and I asked him to enquire from the reception counter.

In my mind, I thought 'I think it's a goner liao by now... it would be REALLY lucky if the hotel ppl found it). Then it turns out, one of the policewoman found it! Wow, 2 lucky incidents in a roll! After doing some procedures, CMing took back his wallet and thanked them. It was an experience to remember, haha... We then head back to the cars and decided to head back to Jimmy's house for breakfast (we left the casino around 7am, lol)...

On the way down, it was totally HELL for me...! Daniel was driving fast down the hill, thus making me the person behind being 'thrown' left and right in the car. For a carsick person like me, it was really PAINFUL!! My head feels like it's going to explode any minute, my stomach makes me wanna puke any second, I totally want to DIE then. But I forced myself to endure the 30 min ride, so I didn't tell Daniel. I even need to lay down at the back sit, or I would have puked in the car at the moment... Please, no more HELL ride for me!!!

After we reached the bottom just after the toll, Daniel stopped his car to wait for Jimmy's car which is quite far behind. He switched off his car and I tried to relax myself as my head is still ringing and banging itself, non-stop. It got a bit better, then Jimmy called saying his car was already in front, waiting (we were all sleeping). So Daniel starts his car...

Then, another shocker came... Daniel couldn't start his car! Looks like his car's too old or the weather's too cold (it's still raining), his car just couldn't be started. So, Jimmy drove his car nearer to jump-start his car. It was quite dangerous as it was raining then. So, me and CMing protected the batteries from the rain with the umbrellas, and in the end sucessfully jump-started Daniel's car. Another good luck and 'victory', hoorah!

As my head is still ringing, we told Jimmy we need to head back home, so we parted there. Daniel also need to fins his 'kai mui' later in the afternoon. CMing followed Jimmy's car back, while we head home (which is SO nearby). Finally I reached home, but at that time, mom was just about to leave the house with my youngest bro. Mom going 'up' while bro going to drive to work. I watched the few last episodes of Heroes, then slept to 'cool down'. Needless to say, I spent most of the day sleeping, haha... At the end of the day, mom won RM2200++! FuYoh!! 4 happiness today, So Cool!!! A truly exciting, lucky, fun and happy memorial leap day indeed, haha...




Today was a happy day... YL appearing today is one of the 'motivation' for me to travel so far to Tmn Bhg. I was finally 'repaid' when YL sat so close next to me in SO. I tried to act cool and not 'dodging' her as she's so NEAR to my skin... guess I was being paranoia, lol! If she was a bit more drunk, I would have asked her some private questions. She will never be easily drunk, haha. All the moments sitting next to her really made me happy (she sit next to me in mamak Genting too! :P). In Genting, I was also happy when she used me as a cover from the rain by walking behind me, haha. But I know, all these happiness are one-sided. I will never 'have' her, and I hope CMing will try harder to woo her too. From this blinded lovefool, I wished you all the best in the future, YL. Cheers...

It's her birthday, again

 So today is 'her' birthday. The old me will be thrilled. It's like one of the most important date of the year, as important as ...
