It's weird sometime to get email which looks like this...Is it a Halloween fool or something similar...haha..As I'm writing this, the date and time they send this have not even happen yet...ouch!! click on the image to enlarge....funny though...
What is wrong with all some of the food court nowadays especially here in Klang Valley. I don't want to say this but it just annoyed me when this thing happened. How can a glass of warm water cost 40cent??!! It's not from Evian or some high class drink imported from Europe. It is not even mineral water or processed water from the factory. It is just water from SYABAS which is free for the 1st 2o cubic metres. The water they served doesn't even go through filteration or more advance tech like ionization or 'mineralization'. It is just water that has been boiled an cooled for quite sometime to become warm water aka air suam. What is worse is those people from the food court really took advantage from the price hike few months ago to hike something which is totally unacceptable. Is the water produced from crude oil?? NO!!
I don't mind to pay extra if the water they served at least has quality in it. but to pay 40cents for paip water that I have it also in my home, I would say No, This will be the last time I will be ordering drinks from the food court ever. I feel cheated with their drinks. I don't believe it at first when the waiter told me it's 40cent, my spontaneous reaction was "huh, 40 sen, kenapa mahal sangat?". He never answer me anything and just showed me the receipt and told me "sini, tulis Sky Juice, 40sen"...gosh, I told him the same phrase again, and he don't want to reply me anymore. 40 sen and your service is so useless...
I don't mind calling skyjuice at those food court if it is only 20 cent of 30 cent or even free( yes, I found one mamak store here who serve free sky juice in condition you order their food lah....)isn't that good if you just offer people free drink rather than cheating people by charging paip water for 40 cent which I think still unacceptable especially those conditions mentioned above plus I'm sitting by the roadside, with no air cond and the ambient is a whore as it is beside the big drain somemore...*sigh*
what is wrong with those food court operators....
This song always inspires me whenever anything went wrong....it works though....both the song and the lyric itself....'There's gotta be more to life'
Feeling Optimistic now...hehe

Which one is much more harder? sharing people's joy? or sharing people's sadness?
This was the question that the invited speaker throw to us. My thought that time were, surely people's sadness because sadness is hard for us to listen to people's sad story. After he paused for a while, he answered, "it's people's Joy...". The reason behind this is that, do you normally see a bunch of people happy when a person is in joy. For example, if people were promoted to a much a higher post, there are surely people who are not impressed or jealous of the person who got promoted. This was one of the example given by Dr. Christopher Ash who came to Malaysia for the first time of his life from England.
What he said was actually so true when I experienced it first hand when it comes to this question. Never would I expect people to say this to me when I throw this question to them. It happened when I received a text message from one of my coursemates asking me whether want to join in to go to the convocation of our super senior that happened today. I answered yes as long as there is someone picking me up from my apartment. I was actually referring to my housemates aka my coursemates as well.
Ok, here is what happened when I approached this question to those people in the house with transport. One of them answered with a definitive answer of NO...another one also replied NO...so ok, the 3rd person, ...I don't know them well,they senior did not invite me. if I go also no point....if the others go, I will go also.
So, it forces me to make a decisions which I totally regret and feel sorry about that is not going. I'm feeling so bad until now. Anway, the story doesn't end there. Later on, another coursemates of our own eventually called us to see whether we are going or not. What piss me off by then is the way they handled the conversation. Imagine, the phone is pass on from a person to another and it was forwarded to 3 person, and my coursemate had to repeat his question 3 times and what he get were all No. OMG!!! if they ever treat me that way, I don't know what will happened to me. By the way, they did not pass the phone to me as I don't have a transport.
As I ponder upon my decision which I made earlier, I realised that I made a mistake by following their decision. Can you imagine staying with those bunch of people who never bother anything that happened around them. If you are reading 3 posts before this, you will know by now who I am talking about. Can you imagine I'm following those people's decision, gosh!!! I should not. way not. I just can't believe that I'm living in the same roof with the people who only have their world evolves around their study, watching drama, playing Dota, listening to the same song every now and then, going to the same shop to eat over and over again and never get tired of it. Another person who was not part of them is not observing the Sabbath day any longer which I was kind of not really content about. If he does it again, I will advice him this time around. It was so bad that, he went to meetings, rather than keep the sabbath day holy. surprisingly. He is the one who get used and understand more the way of living as a true christian more than me. surprise surprise, there is always a twist....hmmm...
Ok, let me check what are they doing now, since they don't even make a move of going to the convocation, are they really busy??
OMG, all of them are studying, looks like studying for finals are more important than any other stuffs. Even losing respects from others, they are willing to sacrifice. Is that all about life, everything study? Maybe for them, they live to study. I'm not their parents either. It is their life. I'm not in charge of it. I can only advice them if they went too much of something(in this case not study...). For me, I'd rather pause for a while to do some other more 'humane' things like blogging this post and hope that it serves as an advice so that, anyone of you out there can ponder upon.
Anyway, I just realised that some of those people in the house are really demanding and the fact that sometime they are just 'tin kosong' (my definition for tin kosong( empty can is quite different, I will explain later). One of those things that I observed are some of them will not involve themselves in any activities that doesn't benefit them. It is so bad to the step that once I asked them to join, they answered me with the weirdest and most ridiculious answer around, It was '...if there is a post without working, i will join...", the answer kept us all laughing that time. But as I looked back at it, it shows sometime negative on them. Guess what I found out recently, one of them rather pay RM120 member fee to join Golden Key society. haha, funny though, society that doesn't requires member fee, he doesn't want to join. He just purely look down on they other 'low class' societies. He rather joined the prestigious one. What is the different in joining Golden Key with other societies around?? probably he joined it because of fame. undeniable...Guess what, that is the first society he joined in UPM... gosh, this one really irritates me. For those of you who didn't know about Golden Key, Golden Key is a society that is only open to those smart as* in the school. Their requirement for you to join....CGPA must be 3.50 and above. I will not join this society even if I scored CGPA 4.0...over my dead body....
The reason are
1) From my opinion, why should a society restrict and opens only to high achiever, it is clearly a look down on people who score less than that CGPA. In God's eyes, everyone is equal...mind you
2) It is just plain unacceptable if a society give a letter congratulating people on their result and talk all the hu...ha about wah, u score 25% of what is required for your whole 4 years course and then invites people to join their society providing you pay rm120 as a membership fees. They never specifies what is their rm120 for...just said it is membership fee. Can you imagine, they ask Rm120 from students. If you pay rm120 then you are part of 'US'. If you don't pay, even if you score 4.0 CGPA also no use. Can you imagine a poor fellow who is a genius and got rejected because he is poor. Stupid. It is clearly a society for the rich and smart people.
All in all, this society really insult a lot of people by the way the run the society although it has a lot of benefits joining them.
Going back to earlier statement, What I meant by 'Tin Kosong' (empty can) was on the appearance, they are clever and good at study but beneath everything, can you imagine, those basic things also they don't know how to do. For example, budgetting, they just spend and spend like our house is growing money tree. I know, some of them have their parents giving them money every week... they don't have sense of responsibility even. Another example is, one of them don't even know how to wash his cloth. that is like the basic thing, which is washing cloths and still he don't know how to do it. All he did is to bring it back for his mother to wash every weekend...gosh!!!no money, go back ask parents, want to wash cloths, bring back for mommy to wash. Where is the sense of independence. I would not mentioned about cooking cause many people out there nowadays cannot cook. Not only that, basic thing of repairing the toilet also I have to do for them...where's the sense in that...
I guess I really need more air to breath here. There are just too much bad aura around, kiasu-ness, ignorance, disrespect, no sense of responsiblity, look down on people, and lastly sellfish....I really need air to breath in here. argh....
Only one of my housemates is ok and not towards that zone which I mentioned above. It started with two person, now it is spreading to the 3 person. the other guy I just mentioned is just playing on the safe side. I'm the one starting to be rebellious. I really need air to breath, look at what they've changed me, I used to be earlier to class, never late...now I need to follow their car and I'm late also. I rarely and very very very very seldom 'ponteng' but now I did it. And now, I just want to be good and sharing people's joy but was influenced by them. It is such a pain in the neck. Everytime I study also I'm not studying in peace. the aura of kiasu-ness is there everytime. Gosh I need peace to study and to pass my exam and that's all...please!!!
*big sighs* and *big relieves*, so what is your stand now, sharing people's joy is harder or sharing people's sadness? Looks like I've just shared my thoughts and my sorrow that have been with me for so long. Not that I don't want to share people's advantages but it is so hard for me to find one among all of them. It is so hard, the only thing that I can said is they are clever, and that's it...
God I really pray and need your help to go through this and help me strong be strong to endure this 'storm'. I really hope that I can become a better person that go strong to my faith and to what I believe in.
Song playing in my mind now- Learning to Breath by Switchfoot
For those who read this long post until this far, I personally thank you for listening to my thoughts and rants. It is just to hard for me to keep it into myself...thanks ya
XOXO
Sometime, there are stuffs that I want to let go but I don't even know whether I should do it or not. But it feels bad sometime when this thing really happened to me. I think I never said this before but it was bad enough when everytime any decisions are made, I need to consider other people's feelings. Why I don't care about my own feelings? If don't follow the taste of the guys and started to use my own, they won't even look at you and started to ignore you, some even scold you. At the end, I've to change everything to suit them. why don't it be the other way round where they suit me. Why it always happen to me. Anything happening, I have to follow their needs but not mine. Because of this, I realise that I'm more and more not my own self, rather I'm transform into a guy that is different than when he was 2 years back. It is just so bad that you can notice that those who did not see me for the past 2 years will realise that I'm changed, not in term of physical looks but my attitude. For some of you, I might be still the nice guy from what you've thought, but the surrounding here really effects me a lot. Why should I follow other people's rythm and not into my own self? After watching episode 5,season 2 of the Gossip Girl, I just realise that I'm changed(and I mean a lot...)because I need to suits not one people but lots of people's rythm.
I really wish that I could turn back who I was back then. I really hope and pray that God can help me through this. I'm trying to change to a much better me where, I have control of my life rather than other people. The feeling of have to follow other people's feelings and thoughts really awful and when the people just ignore or don't bother you when you don't follow their needs really make me sad. Why don't we just tolerate?
I'm trying to be optimistic here, so I will try to be myself back and thus ensure that I'm no more different than before. Anyway, praise the Lord for making me realise how important it is to know myself and my own weaknesses, I will try to overcome those weaknesses around. ;)
Yes, like the caption on my blog Ability is what you're capable of doing,Motivation determines what u do,Attitudes determines how well you do it.......Attitudes really determines how well I do it. I guess I'm still lack in that. I'm so grateful that I put the caption on the first place, now it serves a reminder for myself for what is ability, on what is motivation and finally Attitudes.....
p/s: Don't worry, those who are close to me are not affected by this. This phenomenon only happened in my Uni life here. I hope I can overcome this obstacle. To, My friends from the matrics and secondary school, I still cherish the memories of my life back then. Thanks for being part of it....hehe...
=D
This movie is yet another recommended movie that is worth your money to watch in cinema this year. It is a musical movie which I think one of the best in its genre that it can beat the high musical. I'm taking this for real. Surely, The Dark Knight is the best movie this year so far in my own opinion. Eventually you can't get a movie that has its storyline suits the lyrics of the songs that were made popular by Abba. Usually, songs were composed to suit the movies but this is the other way round. The songs were suitable for some scenes that you think that Abba composed all the songs in a story form before producing it.haha...
Anyway, the plot of the story is about a daughter, a mother and a three possible father. One day, the daughter found out about this, and decided to invite all the three possible father to attend her wedding, so who will be the father...it is for you to find out from the movie.heee
This should be the first time that I saw actor like Pierce Brosnan eventually singing, it is kind of weird for me to see a guy who used to be a 007 and becoming a singer...haha. Eventually, the lady who sat besides me sing along those songs featured in the film. Another odd things, that you won't notice is that, people don't start to leave the cinema after the film finish, but to stay for a while to listen to the song feature in the credit part. A sense of reluctant perhaps. Normally, people just leave the cinema the minute they saw the credit. It is contrary.
No wonder this show is still feature in Broadway and it is still a hit till this day especially after the movie adaptation of it is released. You see, it is feature in Broadway some more, High school musical isn't....so do watch it when have time....
=D
haha, it's once again the time of the semester where all the madness will occur, practically it is the exam period again and you can find people are getting more tension about it. This scenario happens to me as well haha...and it is once again where you can find I do odd stuffs that normally I don't do during the normal day. One of it is staying late until morning to study( it seems common for some people right??). Anyway, other than that, I don't know why I can make stupid jokes sometime that I don't even know how I got it...it just spark off and I just conveyed it on the spot. haha...Another one is to blog at 4am in the morning...haha.And it is just the 13rd week of study and not yet to the exam period. I think I'm feeling the heat of the exam more seriously than before. Thanks to the arrangement of the Aerospace department that put all the crucial subjects in one semester. Probably i have been talking about the subjects that I'm talking, and I'm going to mention it again.darn... Vibration(easy to understand but tough to derive the equations, I don't even know how the geniuses got them all relate to each other), Eng maths III(final all maths subject that I'm going to take..yay!!, it's the highest level in bachelor degree..and it shows it is the toughest lah...) , Mechanics of Materials(haha...I failed the first test for no reason), Statistics(quite easy but as you leveled up, gosh, u don't understand why certain statistics it is for), aerothermodynamic(long name which is only available in UPM, but I enjoy the subject very much),E&E technology(not to my liking...that's why I choose Aerospace). So eventually, we have to go through tough time this semester no matter what.
Our lecturers even went nuts and gives us quiz and quiz and some of it is done every week....gosh, I'm so tired of it...but no matter what, I have to be optimistic about that, I have goals that I need to achieve besides balance out my life so that I won't be tilted to any side. whether it is studies, activities, play, sleep, physically,mentally, and my spiritual life. It is crucial to have a dynamic life.I don't want to only concentrated much on study as I think I need to live life to the fullest...hmm..perhaps you might agree or not agree with me, it is just my personal opinion on the way of living, or perhaps my way of living. To be in the dean's list is not what I need like some people here who are dying for it. For me, to be in it is an advantage and I will try my best towards it and I won't be dying for it. It is pointless though if you can achieved that standard and you are bad at other things, you are just as bad as it is. Like an apple, you want to have only one side that is nice and when you flip to the other end, it is rotten. I'd rather be an apple that is almost perfect whenever you turn the apple. Getting into the list doesn't mean that you are qualify for anything, like not to do or participate in anything. Getting into the list doesn't mean that you are exceptional or on top of all the rules.
And yet, it doesn't mean that you can do anything you like and just forget it when you have done it wrong. I only will salute and respect those who get into the Dean's list and they are good in a lot of stuffs which is not academic related. That is what I call the real Dean's list recipients. Yes, I may sound a bit bias but my intention is to show you certain people around that is just like that. The people which takes books as their God and 'worship' it. when asked about other stuffs, they don't know about it. Their life is just evolved around the books. Asked on whether they want to join activities, they give lots of excuses and demands for a post that doesn't requires any work( what the heck is a post without work?!!!!!). maybe can ask to sit and do nothing. If want to succeed in life, we need to work for it and not to ask that question. It really get on my nerve when people responded that to me. Yet, they are the one that doesn't have any precaution about basic things, Is it the higher you study, the more stupid they become?? Yes, It happened, can you imagine those people wasting stuffs and never care about it. Can you imagine that they don't care about their belonging and waited until it is absolutely torn and worn out then they change it?? (illustration: can you imagine, you only treat your cancer when it is only in the final stage of it) funny right, some people are like that.When asked to treat or change it..their respond is, 'aiya...don't care lah, next time when it is about to rosak baru change lah.." OMG....
=___='''
Getting into the list is not above everything and means that you don't need to do other stuffs. I wonder who will hire them the next time when they go out to work? their parents maybe? So fare I have encountered a few( not many people ) who are like this. I swear that you will feel disgust if you are the balance type of people. I'm not only the one that notice that. And about the people that I can respect and deserved to be in the list...I do know a few. I really respect those people. It is what I called deserved for their hard work. For example, one of my super senior, who are graduating this year eventually got into the Dean's list, was a president, active in sports, spiritually matured, balance in everything he do, he cares a lot and totally, he deserve the credits.
Probably you might think that I'm jealous or anything, but I'm telling the truth, and I just want to show that life isn't just about study and don't care about other things. Needless to say, I want to emphasize that their footsteps doesn't occurs on you guys. I will be happy if any of my friends who have tried their best to be balance in all things. If they fail, I will encourage them, If they score or achieved their targets, I will be happy and proud of them as they have made an effort in it. You know who you are...
P/s: It is just purely my opinion, so don't worry about it. ohya, the other odd things that I can do during the exam period is to rant about my opinion and motivate myself after that...ehhe(Frank Sinatra's song- I did it my way)teehee...Anyway, good luck to all those who are sitting for their exam.
;)
I came across this article when one of my friends was talking about food with me. My intention at the beginning was to find the most delicious food around but it turns out that I've found an article about the World's Most expensive foods. Ranging from the 'everly' expensive spice which is the saffron to the sandwich, pizza, dessert and etc...as I scroll through the page, my jaws just drop in awe of the food, all of the food are made of the most expensive, luxurious, rare, exquisite...wah...and all I-can't-afford-food. I have only tasted one of the food mentioned that is the Tie Guan Yin chinese tea...that is the cheapest I think in the list...it's cheaper in Asia though for the tea.
Do visit this website
World’s Most Expensive Foods
haha..Raya is here...hope that it will be a turning point for anything that is bad since it is the time to forgive and forget...This goes out to whoever that I might have offended in anyway. hehe...
Anyway, after self exile for a few days in my own house, I finally get through it. It's only 2 days as I want to get a feel on how to go through life alone without any contact with the world except the TV set and internet....I only go out to eat then come back to do my stuffs for the 2 days. Gosh, It was kind of bored until some point that you don't even know what you want to do. But surely it's an experience. Today I will be going out...hehe...again stupid rant of my boredom life here during the Raya Holiday....
