1st of Jan 2009

It is finally over for the 2008 and the beginning of a new year 2009. This will be the year that I'm sure full of excitements. I can't wait for them to happen one by one and little by little. Truly, 2008 was an eventful year with lots of things happened from January till December. Thank God for those things that has taken place no matter it is bad or good. Good things that has happened will become on of those memorable joyous occasions, the bad one will become a lesson worth experiencing it. What, I hope for this upcoming year will be
1) To be know more and more about the Creator, God..GIG(Get Into God)
2) To improve my grades as I found out that it has plummeted the last exam( even though my CGPA remains the same)
3) To utilise my time wisely...
4) Take more efforts in planning something rather than do it "ala-kadar"

MV Doulos's last voyage to Kuching before it retires...

looks like the yellow army has landed itself in Doulos...
'I will follow Doulos..'haha

today is 1st of January 2009 and I don't think I'm going to reflect back on what has happened throughout 2008, most of the big things that has happened, I've jotted it down on this blog.

this is the best I can get for the fireworks...it's too far to capture
wonder if the fireworks synchronized in all the places, wouldn't it looks better??

Anyway, Today's The Star's newspaper featured an article(or perhaps news..whichever it is) which I think very inspirational and worth looking at it. Can you imagine a duck that neurological Disorder and is paralysed forever? But thank God, someone took the effort to take care of Lemon the Duck. It is inspirational as even a duck has the determination to walk through his/her life, though it has difficulty to walk around and perform what a normal duck would do, e.g Swimming, walking around and flying. Isn't it great to hear stories like that on the first day of the year, and inspired you earlier in the morning rather than bad news of this and that around. For all of guys who wanna check out the inspirational story of a duck, you can check on The star newspaper(1st Jan 2009) page 40 in the world section. or check this website.

Lemon the Duck with santa claus, so cute, lovely and inspiring

Anyway, Happy New year 2009 everyone!!!!

Rants

I will be back to Kuching in two days time, I can't imagine how fast time flies and now it's been 18 weeks since I left Kuching. About the same time last week, I was still tied myself up with all the reference books to prepare for my final. And today, I don't have anything to do. Last week, this house that I live was full of tense and stress but this week and today, it is so empty and suddenly I can feel the emptiness and lack of something. Perhaps I miss the environment where I can see people wandering around in this area and coincidentally met some of the familiar faces at the mamak or even when I'm just walking nearby. Almost all the UPM students have went back to their respective hometown probably enjoying their kampung life.
Anyway, the retreat to Port Dickson is in fact quite weird but it achieved its objectives done that is to make a full planning for our upcoming project of Career and Self Development Expo(C-DEX) which we want to make it a hit and successful. Can you imagine, it took whole of 2days and one night just for the planning part. I remember even one of the department leader having meeting up until 3am just for the planning, and this poor fellow here having to sleep for 1 hour plus for the trip.haha. It was indeed tiring but everyone managed to keep everything roughly planned and I think 90 percent of the plans for the event have been decided. It's a good sign and hopefully the execution part will be a successful as well. to be continue...
hmm...I don't even know what should I do now...haha, I cannot play computer games as well as my mouse is not functioning and I'm using the touchpad now to navigate. I can't imagine myself playing CS or DoTA with touchpad...haha

Email

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...

40 cent

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....

Cool...

This is going to be one of the funniest real life video I've ever seen...enjoy!!
