Happy Chinese New Year

2008-02-18T10:52:00.002+08:00

First of all, Happy Chinese new year to all. The best part about new year is that you will have endless supplies of snacks and drinks while watching TV, and thats how i finish up Heroes session 2 during the holiday.

Suddenly I miss New York so so much then realize, oh gosh, I haven't wrote a single thing about it yet. Then I opened up my pictures folder, this is what I found:

Hehe, the Rockefeller display window about Heroes. Stay tunned for the best window shopping area on earth :)

This is an example of a lousy blog

2008-01-30T11:18:00.000+08:00

As you are reading this, you are viewing 1 of the best example of how a lousy blog will be

1. inconsistent update
2.blogger suddenly gone missing
3.hardly reply comments
4.keep writing old stuff
5. and the list goes on

Sorry la, I was stuck in Langkawi for a month, it's good to be back in a big city...

The capital D.C.

2007-11-24T20:11:00.000+08:00

It's been awhile since i came back here.
Everything happen too fast and i was too hectic trying to adapt myself in a whole new environment, logically and emotionally.

But hey, now that everything is cool, i'm happily situated myself in PJ, it's time to rearrange the photos that i took during my 3 weeks of traveling during my stay in the states. I'll start off with the capital :D

Ahh... The white house, it seems small... maybe of it's huge garden i guess. There lots of Chinese descendant tourist in Washington including myself, it feels kinda weird thou...

Mr. president Lincoln sitting in his own temple.

And just outside the Lincoln memorial there was a great person who made his speech here.

I have a dream too, but look at the line >.<

There are plenty of world war memorial around Washington, it somehow reminds me of London which kinda annoyed me, who the hell go attack another country then setup such useless crap at their own garden...

The landmark of DC, too bad i couldn't make it to the top :(

There are plenty of museums around here and the best part is, it's all FREE !! Well too bad it wasn't my cup of tea, i was never a fan of museum...

The mobile food car reminds me of a Jacky Chan early movie, even the owner looks abit like him.

Dessert of the trip, HOOTERS Restaurant, where all the wanna be famous gal wearing tight pants, pushed up fake boobs serving food

Phase 2

2007-11-11T13:01:00.000+08:00

If one life cycle were to divide into three stages,

I am glad to say that i'm marching into my next stage of life without having much regret.

Sorry for taking so long to write here, will summarize my whole trip in US and HK once i got back my laptop.

My favorite modern city by far - Chicago

2007-09-24T12:02:00.001+08:00

This is Chicago.
Rated the most beautiful modern city on earth by me.
Most people always say that all big cities look the same...

But not Chicago,
it has the biggest bean on Earth.
A fountain that pee from mouth
Once the tallest building ( taken down by KLCC, yek yek yek...)
Sue, the dinosaur which sex is unknown but with a gal's name
The man that does not belong to Earth for his jump skillSelling thicker pizza (deep dish pizza) than anywhere else that require 45 mins of waiting timeand Hotdog that doesn't look like 1 at all...
Ahh... I just love this city so much...

The faded Detroit

2007-09-09T22:58:00.000+08:00

I have been to Detroit and University of Michigan in Ann Arbor 2 months ago, but I just dunno what to write about it. It's sad but it's true that Detroit indeed, a dying city...

The University of Michigan is 1 of the top 20 university in the states. What amazed me the most is the library.

U see this:

And the above, they are the same building. They manage to renovate the old library and blend in the new section without destroying the overall feel of the structure.

Those abandoned buildings are everywhere around Detroit, and I almost regret coming here.

Under our feet, De-troited !!

However, GM saves the day ( although they are also the reason why everyone leaving here cause of the Japanese :p)

And the Embassy Bridge across Canada. Why oh why, I just can't step on your land, Canada???

The only 2 places where i enjoyed the most in Detroit was the Summer Festival in the park of downtown and the Greek Town which circulate around the casino.

It feels good to have a bunch of people moving their body according to the music, i always have this problem (being aliened) in the jazz/blues concert or bar back in Malaysia where the rest just standing there like kayu...

Things u hardly see in Malaysia

2007-09-09T22:30:00.000+08:00

Regardless of how screwed up the management of Cedar Point is this year, at least they dare to post something like this up around the notice board.

Compare to Malaysia?
Sigh... I don't think they even dare to mention about it, it is consider as political sensitive issue u know...

couting down

2007-09-09T21:28:00.001+08:00

Ever since Soak City closed down for the session, I have no mood at all to go for work, at all. Just feel like leaving this fuck up place, pack my bags and start wandering around.

15 nights more in Sandusky, I'll be gone for good.

2 nights in Chicago,

4 nights in New York City and Washington DC,

10 nights in West Coast,

and my last stop, 2 nights in Hong Kong,

i'm coming back home...

My tolerance of stupidity

White American:

Black /African American:

Niagara Falls

2007-08-19T12:04:00.000+08:00

ahh.. the great Niagara Falls, I went there by the trip organized by Cedar Point. Niagara Falls is actually formed by 2 falls on 2 different part. The smaller one is the American Falls on the America side, while 90% of volume of flow is form by the Horseshoe Falls on the Canada side.

After 9/11, Malaysia citizen needs to apply separate visa to enter Canada. Diu, i thought i won't be affected by the terrorist in any situation and now they actually made me not able to enter Canada #$!^$#$@#$!

Cave of the Wind, which u have a bunch of ppl wearing yellow poncho (raincoat) sitting inside the elevator to get to the base. That is at the American Falls...

And the great Horseshoe Falls, i took this picture while i was on the Maid of Mist (the boat which cruise across border heading towards the falls) I dare not take out my camera while it is too near the fall, the water splash was too great...

Sigh, since i'm not able to take the full view from the Canada, i just take it from the back then. From the mist formed by the water flow, u can imagine how great the pressure is at the base of the fall...

Convo

2007-08-13T06:19:00.000+08:00

There goes my memory of convocation:

All the best for my friends, we shall meet again 1 day

Cedar Point - Soak City

2007-08-02T06:17:00.000+08:00

Well, this is what i work as during my stay in the States, facing all the locker keys everyday @.@

The thing about the job is, u dun need to turn on ur brain at all, basically is just doing all the rotational work everyday.

Having said so, locker business might be very deep and very profitable. It involves alot of psychology factor and human reaction towards how u deal with them as well as how much u charge them. If i were to continue my study in MBA, might consider writing the book titled: The Story about Locker business :p

Oh well, cut the crap, this is the bucket i stare at whenever i have nothing to do. It takes exactly 45 sec for the bucket to fall and refill again... no life...

I dun have much pic of my workplace at the moment, i'm juz too sick of goin back to the place i work whenever i have my day off, maybe next time la...

These are the great people who makes my lifeless daytime work not so boring:

An after work dinner in Apple Bees :D
Lastly, my >.<" uniform...

Cedar point - 1

2007-07-29T23:08:00.000+08:00

Well, this is the place where i worked. Summer is long, i needa get up by 8 and work till 9 before i reach home most of the time.

The worst part is, i couldn't online as freely as I want. I'm sorry for those who has been scolding me for not showing up online, i tried my best to stay in touch already nia...

Anyway, back to topic. The place where i work has voted one of the best amusement park in US, this is some of the front park view i took:

And the below are some of the rides i took:

The Raptor, my very 1st ride in Cedar Point

The Giant Wheel with the Wicked Twister behind.

The Coaster

The long history Magnum.

And finally, the thrilling Dragster which took u 1 hour to line up and finish riding within 17 sec, with the Witches Wheel in front that makes me so dizzy...

NBA in Cleveland

2007-06-30T03:09:00.000+08:00

This is my very 1st impression of the United States of America, after stepping out from the miserable airport + luggage missing incident. There I was, the 1st city i visited 2 weeks ago, Cleveland in Ohio.

It was during the NBA finals whereby the Cleveland Cavaliers stepped foot into the finals for the very first time in the history.

Suddenly, there was slogan/logos and any source of supporting material appears everywhere in the city that I've never imagine before.

Every corner I stepped on in Cleveland, there must be ' Rise Up, Cavs !!'

and here
and even when i'm moving...

Look who is drying the t-shirt on top of the building?

Bah, this is me by the Great Lake Erie

Narita Airport

2007-06-12T22:21:00.000+08:00

My favorite airport has always been our own KLIA, because

there are less people (everyone transfer via the kiasu Changi airport or the guai lou prefered Bangkok airport),
it's newer with a forest inside and,
it's very direct where u dun have to turn many corners or to take those lousy shuttle bus from terminal to terminal.

Until i spend 1 hour in this aiport.

1st, check our their staff, dem cute the uniform (not to mention what they are famous for :p)

2nd, while i was 'bombing Tokyo', their toilet bowl counter my attack by splashing water onto my ass with heat and pressure control.

3rd, kertas masuk biru, plastic masuk merah, kacau masuk hijau???
err... i can never understand what our goverment trying to do (just say i'm dumb), but i did throw my tissue paper into the correct hole here.

Lastly, they have the weirdest food, nicest packing and of course the most canggih electronic item.

Oh well, all of that happened before my miserable flight cancellation. This is where i slept for the night while waiting for my MIA baggage to S.O.S me...

it's very comfortable i must say compare to the price we paid in Malaysia.

Possible longest travel plan...

2007-06-12T16:14:00.000+08:00

not.
If compared to Borat flying to US from Kazakhstan.

But still, i spent more than 32 hours on the planes and airports just to get to where my am now.
From

KL -> Singapore -> Japan -> Washington DC -> Chicago -> Cleveland

And the best part is, my baggage was left behind :(
My flight was cancelled in Washington with forced me to took another route to Chicago to get here.
Now i'm stuck in Cleveland which is an hour 20 mins away from where i suppose to be, waiting my luggage to arrive.

Anyway, the first American culture that I'm exposed to. Franchise.
They serve Starbucks in the plane -_-"

bday

2007-06-09T23:15:00.000+08:00

2007-05-13T02:59:00.000+08:00

Election is coming real soon, thou i haven't register yet, but i am qualify to vote for the 1st time in my life. Was looking forward to it until...

reading the papers for the pass few days. It really made me feel ashamed of this country.

How can a leader allows his subordinate to talk cock and do nothing but sucking money out form the tax payer's pocket while delivering faulty service, and yet still requesting for more money to be sucked managed to stay in cabinet for such a long time?

Why da hell the number 1 bank in the country still having this kampung minded during this globalization era??

and the fucking part is, there are even more old kampung uncles that only talk shit but do nothing to contribute to the country's economy who still think they are losers for more than 50 years, and still wanting assistance like this.

Do u people have no shame?? Diu niama, it's like u failed from primary school to secondary school yet thinking that goin into university is what u deserve. Then what about me when i need help?

Just give me a reason y should i contribute back to this country when others is treating me better, and why should even consider to come back to this piece of land when i can perform better in other place, this ain't the problem of patriotism anymore...

Oh well, time to study now, preparing myself, waiting for the right moment to come. Oh ya, gonna withdraw my money and close my account on this Monday, fai si 1 day they say i'm not qualify as their customer and wanted to forfeit all my deposits...

MIA

2007-04-24T04:00:00.000+08:00

Well...
I have been receiving some comments about me being very low profile lately...

Maybe...
I am more passive for this sem...

and...
I dun show up that often...

or...
I am hiding up myself...

But...
I'm not lost, just waiting to be discovered...

chill...

2007-04-10T03:07:00.000+08:00

This is a clip that keeps running on my mind these few days...

I'm not trying to pressure you
Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend
I just wanna know your name
And maybe some time
We can hook up, hang out, just chill...

McD

2007-04-09T00:25:00.000+08:00

For the past few months, McD keep having buy 1 large set free something else with coupon.
Being kiasu ppl like me already fall for its evil trap :(

I know the Mc Breakfast promo is over for quite some time already, but suddenly i missed sausage Mc Muffin with egg x2 for breakfast...

This is the time where blogging consider a luxury hobby for me...

bread story

2007-03-13T01:13:00.000+08:00

I love bread,
especially bread stuffed with stuffs,
like sandwiches, burger, hotdog bun and so on...

I think I mentioned it in my previous post b4,
mommy no longer prepare sandwich for me :(
So today i decided to make my own :D

2 slices of white bread with butter,
1 beef Ramli burger meat,
an egg,
some leftover spicy mayo tuna,
and the final touch, the lettuce !!

Voila~
The burger daging special + tuna sandwich combo just made up my day :D
It feels good to make your own meal at times,
and eat it yourself :p

So,
when is the last time u prepare yourself,
or some1 a nice, warm sandwich?
A satisfied stomach makes a happier person.

How long will this last?

old lady

2007-02-11T23:30:00.000+08:00

Juz had a long nite talk with my grandma,
i always enjoyed talking to old people,
coz there r alot of interesting stuff to listen to n things to learn from.

As there is a Chinese saying:
家有一老，如有一宝。
I always wanted to stay with my mom
(or somewhere very close to her)
when i had a family.

Having said that,
my mom has been pretty annoying lately,
specially now that new year is coming,
screaming n shouting for all the small things...

sigh~
menopause...

Travelling

2007-02-05T12:28:00.000+08:00

I finally have some time to actually sit down, arrange my photos and blog.
Was bz rushing report, getting myself used to the here including jetlag (i couldn't sleep normal for the past whole week =_=")

Not gonna type much, let the pic do the work about where I was for 1 week:

Had the best steak in my French mate's house.

1st time travel with some1 and ski (on ice, somewhere in Alps)
Sigh... global warming...

My tour guide in Grenoble (re-visit), this tai lou from Penang

The best scenery I had in Europe, introducing Geneva, Switzerland

UN office in Geneva

It snows in Lyon when i left @#!$@#$!@#$...
I still havent experience snow :((

My very 1st visit in Paris, the Notre Dame de Paris...

The famous Musée du Louvre glass pyramid entrance

I risked my life taking this pic from the street of Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe

The Grande Arche in La Défense.

Basilique du Sacré-Cœur located at the highest point of Paris.

Oh ya, the red light district of Paris, where the Moulin Rouge.

How can i miss the one and only Eiffel Tower which consume 7% of Paris electricity.
But oh boy, it feel good to be on top of it, while u had food poisoning throughout the whole visit in Paris -_-"

bek2skol

2007-01-29T13:15:00.000+08:00

3rd day back in m'sia,
walking around in campus for the 1st day,
looking at all the new faces inside uni,
all the mui mui zhai & ah beng kia,

sigh...

I'm aging :(

My inspiration

2007-01-13T10:40:00.001+08:00

Steve Job is my all time idol. While I was looking for news about the new release iPhone, I accidentally saw this video which I find it very motivating.
I wish to share it to all, although its kinda large, but definitely worth listening to his speech to the Standford graduates, specially for ppl like me who is graduating soon.

OOP

2007-01-10T23:02:00.000+08:00

stands for object oriented programming.
after getting in touch with Java for half an year,
i can only come out with this tiny bit of stuff for my ITP.
kinda upset thou.

Things are soooo different when u're creating a new program/project,
compared to handling/modifying the existing work;
a single package with 4,5 classes in it,
to a semi-complete work with 10 packages in it asking you to add more.

I must say I didn't manage to complete what I've aspected earlier,
blame the language(French),
blame my noobie programming skill(3months with JAVA when I 1st handle the project),
blame lab computer & the restricted network,
blame the misleading incomplete previous work,
blame the useless documentation...

In the end of day,
noone gives a damn of whatever excuses u gave,
if u failed,
u FAILED.

Just pray hard for the remaining week,
get the documents done nicely,
I shall play hard before facing back the reality.

Having said that,
i've learned alot.
at least now i understand the nature of OOP,
which is gud enough i guess,
for a fellow like me who has 0 interest & 0 skill in programming sector.

signing off for this month.
I'm coming home,
very soon...

My last Christmas

2007-01-05T06:53:00.000+08:00

Been MIA for a couple of days, here's a quick update...

I was here in ->

the Tower Bridge.

the Eye watching Big Ben

Dinning Room for Harry Potter (Ox U)

Gunners shot 6-2

and my turkey dinner :D

What i can say about this Christmas is ...

I HATE TRAVELING ALONE !!!

damn, can't even get a nice picture of myself with the fog...

-Sessions Greetings-

2006-12-21T22:56:00.000+08:00

Joyeux Noël n Bonne Année

Groningen

2006-12-20T01:57:00.000+08:00

I was on time for da dinner :D

There are about 30 Dutch presence in this hall/restaurant.
Me, being the only fellow who doesn't understand the Dutch language, was STUNNED !!!
I cannot pronounce nor speak the language as it is so new to me. They have this strong nasal sound which involve your throat making those grrr....krr... which sounds like my dad trying to clear his throat every morning .

This is the part why i love the Dutch people so much. They are aware of themselves, their strength, their weakness and they accept criticism. Even if I make fun of their language, they won't feel insulted. This can be very different in France or even in Malaysia.

After a couple of moment, 1 of them noticed that there is A foreigner in the room, and all of them starts speaking in English.
I was so grateful !!!
After 2 months stuck in a place where nobody(practically) understands me, coming to places like this, I can't express my emotion in words at that moment.

Ice skating (man-made) in the middle of the town/plaza of Groningen.

The typical Dutch food.
2 types of mashed potato added with carrot & vegetable.
The pork & sausage was so yummy~

Oh ya, there are 2 very famous snack in Holland named kroket & frikandel, I forgot to snap a pic of those. It is a must to try, they were so delicious. (France dun have fried snacks, amazed?)

Christmas tree at night~

Clubbing 2 nights straight...
The music is much better here. The beat is stronger yet the DJ provide alot of music varieties, changing from Bollywood songs, hip-pop, 80s, pop and most importantly the European's club songs from time-to-time.
Here, i understand why Holland produce so many great DJs (Tiesto is the most famous among all), as there will be clubs/pubs operating at anytime. Some crazy fellow even party till 12 noon.

The Dutch & the Dutch-ladies :D
They were my roommates for 2 days. I met Daan in Malaysia when he is doing his Dutch ambassador program through the AIESEC .
The reason why I'm here is that they are having some activities here and so happen i'm in France, Daan invited me over.

I met so many people around the world within this 2 days in Groningen.
People from Canada,Korea,German,India,Romania,Portugal and of course Holland itself. You guys have widen my knowledge so much.
If any of you were to visit Malaysia 1 day, I shall be your full-time travel guider, no joke.
Who knows, maybe someday i'll be visiting you guys at your country :D

Till then, cheers~

Amsterdam

2006-12-18T17:33:00.000+08:00

This is the best trip i ever had in my whole life. I always believe in the best vacation are those you get to live and mix around with the local when u're visiting the country. I experienced it in the land of Netherlands.

I took a bus to get to Amsterdam and train to meet up my friend in Groningen. The bus stopped-by a lot of places, if this is in Malaysia, i'll be screaming and shouting for wasting so much time. But as a 1st time visitor, i enjoyed the sight-seeing very much even when i'm juz sitting in da bus.

The journey:

Lille(France) > Brussels(Belgium) > Antwerpen(Belgium) > Rotterdam(Holland) > Amsterdam(Holland) > Groningen(Holland)

By the time i reached Amsterdam, it was already 1630 and the sky was so dark, i was hardly able to take any pic.

I had a dinner appointment in Groningem at 2000 and the train from here to there need at about 2 and half hours. Which means i have 1 hour to look around.

1 hour...

where to go le...

:p

This is a picture i took in da morning during my journey back.

Saw the cute red lights? I saw RED everywhere i go within that hour...

There is ppl inside posting wanting for u to visit them 1 oh, too bad la i was rushing for time, saw a couple of chun blonde chicks but the rest was -_-" ( i wonder how's the business of those fat, black, aging woman, yiaks...)

I shall continue with my visits in Amsterdam 1st as i need to get back here for my bus transit ( i didn't sleep the whole night in Groningen during the last day, so basically i was juz walking around aimlessly and try to snap as many pic as i could)

Enlarge it and look at the arrow pointing to. I dare not pick out my camera in the center of the 'Red Zone', according to the local, it is disrespect to that group of ladies as they pay tax too. Shops like those 2 mentioned above are everywhere in this district.

Well, i must say Amsterdam not just offer the above stuff, but has museum, old buildings(pretty much like Lille's building but the buildings are more 'bricky' in Holland.

Oh ya, their coffee shop. Customer dun really drink coffee inside, most of them(like me) were puffing this :

Again, i wasn't encourage to take any pics inside the coffee shop, but they do have some very special cake to offer which called the 'space cake' (i think it gotta do with the after feeling of eating it, does it?) :D

What is unique in Amsterdam, Holland, i must say the canal, the over crowed bicycles, sex, drugs, stuff that drew on the board and ship sailing above u (I really shocked when i saw the sea level was higher than the small road beside the highway while i was in the bus).

The experience i enjoyed the most in Holland, aren't the things mentioned above, but rather the people that i've met in Groningen. Shall continue my post tomorrow :)

I can't wait for Christmas Holiday

Coding in diff language

2006-12-13T00:49:00.000+08:00

I am finally integrating my own code into the previous work for my training. Kinda at the final stage of my industrial training, thou it looks more like a student project to me, but who cares, as long as i passed my training rite?

However, here is the freaking part.

Even the programming language is the same (JAVA), but the terms in previous work are mostly written on French. I thought it wouldn't be much problem at the beginning, but after starring at the whole bloody program for a few days, i was wrong :(

The feeling was like typing in English and suddenly a few Chinese character where u neva seen b4 poping-up in the middle of nowhere and later everywhere. Then it start making u dizzy and bring u go around the world -_-

Juz shifted/upgrade my account to beta.blogger.
Basically i'm juz gonna keep things as simple as possible,
while adding some new useful function.

At the same time, i gotto access a couple of great services offered by google.
Man, u guys should really try to customize the google search homepage,
there are plenty of plug-ins and it's so cool.

Even after adding a bunch of stuff inside, it still looked clean and tidy;
unlike yahoo, whereby the more things u add, the messier it gets.

However, i still prefer yahoo mail & it's messenger,
MSN sucks as always...

Rotten

I once read it in an article:

Sometimes,
it is better to keep away the emotion and feeling,
let no one knows but u,
let it buried deep down inside your heart,
and rotten as time passes by.

I'm still picking it up,
thou I'm a lousy learner...

King Dubai invading English Premier League

2006-12-05T17:15:00.000+08:00

He is my most respected Arabian.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
The 5th richest man in the world,
owned the whole bloody 'The Pearl of Middle-East' Dubai,
and many properties associated with the UAE.

Now, his latest bid,
is to take-over Liverpool.
This fellow has his share in Emirates stadium,
and a mark in every single Arsenal player (Emirates Airlines),
now trying to own a whole team to himself,
the English is so gonna fall into the hands of this Arabian soon.

Suddenly,
with the presences of His Highness,
Chelsea, Abramovich & Mourinho seems to be so tiny...
I wonder where does Arsenal stands in the future.

Another racial issue in Malaysia

2006-11-29T00:24:00.000+08:00

Well, this is an e-mail i received a couple of days ago. Thou i get kinda sick with this subject already, but it's nice to talk about human right in blog sometimes :p

Below doesn't contain any of my personal opinion although some i might agree with it.

Here it goes :

And today this is what happened in Malaysia racism, These lists cover a period of about 49 years since Independence Day in Malaysia (1957):

(1) Out of all the 5 major banks in Malaysia , only one bank is own by multi-racial, the rest are controlled by Malays.

(2) 99% of Petronas (the only one petroleum company) directors are Malays, and the former Prime Minister work as Consultant in Petronas.

(3) 3% of Petronas employees are Chinese.

(4) 99% of 2000 Petronas gasoline stations are owned by Malays.

(5) 100% all contractors working under Petronas projects must be "bumi's status" (Malay).

(6) 0% of non-Malays staffs are legally required in Malay's companies. But there must be 30% Malays staffs in Chinese companies. And big companies in Malaysia require a Malays hold as director status with 51% shareholder. Which this mean non-Malays own company needs to give their property to Malays. And non-Malays citizen can't really own their business.

(7) 5% of all new intake for government police, nurses, army, is non-Malays.

(8) 2% is the present Chinese staff in Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF), drop from 40% in 1960.

(9) 2% is the percentage of non-Malays government servants in Putrajaya ( Malaysia main government office). But Malays make up 98%.

(10) 7% is the percentage of Chinese government servants in the whole government (in 2004), drop from 30% in 1960. Only 2 position for non-Malays in political status.

(11) 95% of government contracts are given to Malays; even it is an open tender. Non-Malays contractors tender the lower price and use better materials can't get the contract that government given.

(12) 100% all business licensees are controlled by Malay government
e.g. Taxi permits, Approved permits, etc. and all the license are given to government officer families.

(13) 80% of the Chinese rice millers in Kedah (north of peninsular Malaysia ) had to be sold to Malay and controlled by Bernas (Government Org.) since 1980s. Otherwise, life is make difficult for Chinese rice millers.

(14) 100 big companies set up, owned and managed by Chinese Malaysians were taken over by government, and later managed by Malays since 1970's e.g. UTC, UMBC, MISC, etc. This company now is the sole company.

(15) At least 10 Chinese owned bus companies (throughout Malaysia, throughout 40 years) had to be sold to MARA or other Malay transport companies due to rejection by Malay authority to Chinese application for bus routes and rejection for their application for new buses.

(16) 2 Chinese taxi drivers were barred from driving in Johor (South of Peninsular Malaysia) Larkin bus station. There are about 30 taxi drivers and 3 are Chinese in October 2004. Spoiling taxi club properties was the reason given.

(17) 0 non-Malays are allowed to get shop lots in the new Muar (city in south peninsular Malaysia ) bus station (November 2004).

(18) 8000 billions ringgit is the total amount the government channeled to Malays pockets through ASB, ASN, MARA, privatization of government agencies like Tabung Haji etc, through NEP over 34 years periods.

(19) 48 Chinese primary schools closed down since 1968 - 2000

(20) 144 Indian primary schools closed down since 1968 - 2000

(21) 2637 Malay primary schools built since 1968 - 2000

(22) 2.5% is government budget for Chinese primary schools. Indian schools got only 1%, Malay schools got 96.5%

(23) while a Chinese parent with RM1000 salary (monthly) cannot get school-text-book-loan, and a Malay parent with RM2000 salary is eligible.

(24) 10 all public universities vice chancellors are Malays. And politics in universities are held by Malays. If non-Malays want to form a politics parties, there is no way to get approved.

(25) 5% - the government universities lecturers of non-Malay origins had been reduced from about 70% in 1965 to only 5% in 2004 with the reason Malaysia Education Ministry give full support for Malays only.

(26) Only 5% is given to non-Malays for government scholarships over 40 years.

(27) 0 Chinese or Indians were sent to Japan and Korea under "Look East Policy".

(28) 128 STPM (High Study / A Level) Chinese top students could not get into the course that they aspired i.e. Medicine and doctors (in 2004). Malays with not qualify result can get into the course.

(29) 10% place for non-bumi students for MARA science schools beginning from year 2003, but only 7% are filled. Before that it was100% Malays.

(30) 50 cases whereby Chinese and Indian Malaysians, are beaten up in the National Service program since 2003.

(31) 25% is Malaysian Chinese population in 2004, drop from 45% since 1957 because government are not support non-Malays like government support Malays.

(32) 7% is the present Malaysian Indians population (2004), a drop from 12% since 1957.

(33) 2 millions Chinese Malaysians had emigrated to overseas since 40 years ago due to unfair politics.

(34) 0.5 million Indians Malaysians had emigrated to overseas.

(35) 3 millions Indonesians had migrated into Malaysia and became Malaysian citizens with bumi's status.

(36) 600000 are the Chinese and Indians Malaysians with "red I/C" (a temporary identity card) and were rejected repeatedly when applying for citizenship for 40 years. Perhaps 60% of them had already passed away
due to old age. This shows racism of how easily Indonesians got their citizenships compare with the Chinese and Indians

(37) 5% - 15% discount for a Malay to buy a house, regardless whether the Malay is rich or poor

(38) 2% is what Chinese new villages get compare with 98% of what Malays villages got for rural development budget..

(39) 50 road names (at least) had been change from Chinese names to other names.

(40) 1 Dewan Gan Boon Leong (in Malacca) was altered to other name (e.g. Dewan Serbaguna or sort) when it was being officially used for a few days. Government tries to shun Chinese names. This racism happened on around year 2000 or sort.

(41) 0 temples/churches were built for each housing estate. But every housing estate MUST got at least one mosque/surau built.

(42) 3000 mosques/surau were built in all housing estates throughout Malaysia since 1970 with full government support. No temples, no churches are built in housing estates that supported by government.

(43) 1 Catholic Church in Shah Alam took 20 years to apply to be constructed. But told by Malay authority that it must look like a factory and can't look like a church. Still not yet approved since 2004.

(44) 1 publishing of Bible in Iban language banned (in 2002)

(45) 0 of the government TV stations (RTM1,RTM2, TV3) are directors of non-Malays origin.

(46) 30 government produced TV dramas and films always showed that the bad guys had Chinese face, and the good guys had Malay face. You can check it out since 1970s. Recent years, this tendency becomes less.

(47) 10 times, at least, Malays (especially Umno) had threatened to massacre the Chinese Malaysians using May 13 since 1969.

(48) 20 constituencies won by DAP would not get funds from the government to develop. Or these Chinese majority constituencies would be the last to be developed

(49) 100 constituencies (parliaments and states) had been racist re-delineated so Chinese voters were diluted that Chinese candidates, particularly DAP candidates lost in election since 1970s

(50) Only 3 out of 12 human rights items are ratified by Malaysia government since 1960

(51) 0 elimination of, all forms of racial discrimination (UN Human Rights) is not ratified by Malaysia government since 1960s

(52) 20 reported cases whereby Malay ambulance attendance treated Chinese patients inhumanely, and Malay government hospital staffs purposely delay attending to Chinese patients in 2003. Unreported cases may be 200

(53) 50 cases each year whereby Chinese, especially Chinese youths being beaten up by Malay youths in public places. We may check at police reports provided the police took the report, otherwise there will be no record

(54) 20 cases every year whereby Chinese drivers who accidentally knocked down Malays were seriously assaulted or killed by Malays

(55) 12% is what ASB/ASN (Malays Own banks)got per annum while banks fixed deposit is only about 3.5% per annum.

(56) The latest news about the police in Malaysia . Believe that the Malaysia police officer have caught a Chinese girl and punish her with naked body nearby the windows that other people (believe that is police officer) can took video recording via mobile phones. This news spread to China , and finally Malaysia government told to public that is Malay girl. After that there's no more news about the case.

And more cases haven't been discovered.

So, if any Malaysian read this mail and got extra opinion please add into this mail and forward to everyone who feel this is unfair to other race in Malaysia .

Your forward mail will be much appreciated.

FIGHT FOR YOUR OWN RACE....

Thank you,

Marché à Lille

2006-11-28T15:53:00.000+08:00

Aright, i was down for 3 days last week due to the stupid over night rice.
I shall not do it again,
it almost got me killed, bloody hell...

So, to freshen up my miserable week a lil,
where else is better than the morning market?

As u can see,
this is the only place ppl can do shopping on Sunday,
i'm really not sure not where @ what else they can do other than this,
(we have Midvalley u know, bluek~)

There is 1 item here which is definitely much cheaper than in Malaysia,
GRAPE !!
However, there price here is seasonal,
things can get dirt cheap during summer,
but jack up like nobody business on winter.
Asam orang Europe/Arab,
it is everywhere but it's freaking sour,
and i hate olives.

Chinese shop everywhere,
kinda get abit sien sometimes,
I'm in France la, not China -_-

Now i know where does the Kenny Roger Roasted chicken concept came from,
this is the tiny version:and this is what i call big business...
the whole truck/container roasting chicken.

There is a indoor wet market here as well,
wanted to take a nice photo with the building,
but ended up...

Me with the cheap panties -_-"
Lousy cameraman...

Bento 便当

2006-11-20T17:30:00.000+08:00

Last weekend, i spent 2 nights in Wenkt place.
We finished the whole session 5 Apprentice.
Ivanka Trump is HOT !!

I wasn't a fan of rice back in M'sia.
However, i miss the hot, fattening and tasteless white rice,
after being sick with a month of bread, potatoes & maggie of course :(

This is what i had for lunch on Sunday.
Since there are still quite an amount of left over,
me being the rubbish bin tapao everything back to my room.

Ta-dah~
My bento for lunch later :D
Added an egg and a few slices of cabbage for a balance diet.

It feels good to have some1 to prepare food for u in the container.
I miss my mom doing that for me during the weekend when i spend my time in Cyber.

Anyway,
a nice filling bento makes a happy guy,
don't u agree so?

A visit to Lille cinema

2006-11-19T05:26:00.000+08:00

This is the most expensive movie ticket i ever spent.
I never even tried the gold class movie screen b4 back in TGV.
However, it is worth it :D

The ticket counter.
Their system is somehow very different from what we have.
They have unlimited pass which cost only 15 euros per month with a year contract,
which i find it damn freaking cheap.
Every month, u juz take 4 hours of ur time and sleep inside the cinema,
u'll get back what u paid for.
And the best part is, its free seating, so u can sleep at where ever u wan.

However the pop-corn is darn expensive, not worth mentioning about it at all.

Us outside the cinema/shop lot/street.

The movie i watched is Borat, and the movie itself is the main reason y i find worth spending the money.
This is something that will neva show in Malaysia,
if they show, i chop my... ...

Visit official Borat homesite
or check out the trailer below.
DL the movie, i assure u that this film is definitely the year most hilarious/doesn't make sense yet looks logical 'documentary' u ever watched.

1 month :D

2006-11-17T15:20:00.000+08:00

In order to celebrate me for still breathing after a month here,
i think i shall have a feast & a toast for myself in a French restaurant.
(bah, it's juz so happen ppl asked me whether i wanna try dinning out anot oni :p)

This is what i had for dinner,
dun ask me for the price,
i dun wanna get killed by my mom.

It is a typical north region food of France,
whereby they put stuff on top of the bread.
The top serving is pork + goat cheese,
while the bottom 1 is bacon + mushroom + dunno wat else adi :p

The guy below is my only 100% French buddy named François .
That is his friend that he met during his internship in Canada.

Due to my 'not even close to' lousy French speaking skill,
and my working environment,
it is rather difficult for me to get to know French people.
I am glad that i get to know him and he's willing to show me around.
We even cooked for lunch with his gf and her friend from China the other day.

Looking forward to visit his parents house,
then only i get to really have a taste of French home cooking.

Flipping through my e-mail inbox,
reading the old junks,
memories seem to be fresh again right in front of my eyes,
the joy,
the sadness,
the happiness,
the tears,
the regrets,
the moments,
the loves,
it makes me wanna cry...

SHOCKED 2 !!!

2006-11-15T15:59:00.000+08:00

While ppl keep saying the system in western country is efficient,
I find this dinning habit of theirs is rather stupid.
It's a waste of time my god,
to queue for so bloody long every single time juz to have a proper lunch.

How long exactly the queue is?
HB3 x3 during lunch hour.
I was even shocked while looking at their facial expression,
they all seems to be so happy.
U juz take a glance of the ppl beratur in hb3,
all the face r black in color and pretty annoyed.

After 1330, there will be no more ppl again.
Coz the restaurant closed.
If u hungry between 1330-1830,
zhap sang la,
or eat wind if u cannot tahan...

Project Blackbox

2006-11-09T23:04:00.000+08:00

While i was searching for sources for my work, i came across this project.
I always wonder how da hell Sun makes money by developing Java as an open source code.
U cant earn anything from open source.

Now i know y...
It's juz the same teory as McD selling burgers but making big money through land estate.

This 'thing' really amazed me,
as i neva thought that it could be done that way.
Although i did dream of selling fully furnished houses,
build in a CONTAINER a few years back.

Yep.
Sun built the whole server room inside a container,
and distribute it as a whole,
yet maintains their Java spirit,
install once, runs anywhere...

respect...

It's autumn now,
leaves r droppin,
and the weather is getting cold...

Fruit of knowledge

2006-11-07T17:24:00.000+08:00

I neva liked apple.
In fact, there were quite a number of apple rotten under my hands,
coz i bought them from home to Cyber and juz leave it there.

Having said so,
this was the 1st time i consumed an apple until so 'clean',
not that it is very different from wat we have in M'sia,
it's juz a bloody normal apple.

Come to think of it,
sometimes we've been pampered too much,
by all the things that we thought it was suppose to there for us,
those things that was around us all the time,
but we dun realize it,
then we tend to ignore it,
and we forgot to appreciate it.

It's always good,
to take a long vacation,
off from ur routine,
off from ur comfort zone,
and away to a piece of land where no1 knows u.

Then,
only one will realize that,
he has missed so many wonderful ordinary experience around him,
that he has been taking it for grated all these time.

I know i complain alot,
then only i realize how ignorance i am,
even till now...

SHOCKED !!

2006-11-06T17:05:00.000+08:00

Can u imagine the carpark of a shopping complex bigger than Alamanda or even IOI mall look like this by 12 noon on Sunday?

I mean, who da hell closes their shop during the day where they potentially got the most customer???

It took me half an hour by foot to get there to look for food,
then i ended up taking metro back coz i was too upset...

Then,
maggie was my best pal for the past 2 days...
I miss Malaysia already...

FOOD !!

2006-11-03T19:59:00.000+08:00

U c, sometimes u dun feel hungry during meal hour,
then u'll try to save some money by skipping it.
Mana tau suddenly ur stomach crusing u like nobody business right after the meal break is over.

And,
the fukking thing that pissed me off is,
all the shop closed after the meal hour,
they only work 2 hours for lunch & another 1 hours for dinner.
There is food anywhere in M'sia at anytime,
here -_-"

I mean i can stand being hungry for a period of time,
but the worst part is,
its getting colder...
when u dun eat,
even the temperature is ok, say around 14 celsuis,
u'll feel that the weather is less than 5...
i can't imagine staying empty stomach during the lowest temperature in Lille : -5C
I'm gonna a piece of dead meat man...

This is my 1st proper meal at the university restaurant few days ago.
It cost 2.75 euros, and u can pick a starter/salad/cheese + main dish + pastry/fruits/yogurt.

Thats the cheapest u can get dining in France for a full 3 course meal coz the government subsidice for it.
The dining style in normal/cheap French restaurant will be something like Marche in The Curve. (yea, it is something like our chinese hawker center) U can have a look on how the French serve the food over there.

I tot i can save some money by eating less to travel around, but...
I cant stand the cold already :(

I love instant noodle II -_-

2006-11-02T17:31:00.000+08:00

Well, this is how i eat maggie back in M'sia...

Dry Maggie with sardin + cheese sausage + egg

Dry Maggie with lunchen meat + other stuff

The amount of FOOD i bought over from M'sia :p
And this is how I adapt the local food into my bizzare maggie :))

U juz can't change ur old habbit huh +1 :p
Viva Nippon~

International student gathering by Lille

2006-10-30T23:08:00.000+08:00

Last Wednesday, i went to this gathering but i was bz preparing my presentation so haven't really mention about it.
However, this is the event which actually makes me starting to get used to my stay here.

The organizer, how should i put it, its like Cyberjaya is having a Theme event to promote its tourism, then collabrate with the international student sociaty and a few local university and have a cocktail party kinda stuff.

As u may find it on the newspaper or internet or my some pic that i took in Lille, they have this BombayLille3000 thingy, which i have no fukking idea why the hell am i seeing Indian elephants and some crap Bollywood poster in Lille.

However, i guess this theme has successfully promote Lille to the international stage whereby ppl outside France starting to know Lille as the Eurostar tunnel exit in France.
The local goverment is converting the economic of this district from the traditional mining/production based to tourism and to be the hub of France education, in which i strongly feel that they are on the prefect track.

This is the 1st time i attend a cocktail party. There were to many ppl and i was too lazy to pick up my cam to snap the cocktails and those finger food (its delicious btw).

This is the bunch of China student i got to know during the event. Seriously, its scary to c so many Chinese from China here. Damn i felt treaten by them even as a chinese myself.

However, at this point of time, we Chinese from Malaysia still holds a superior role compared to them as we know more languages compare to them. But 5 years more, i seriously doubt we have the advantage anymore.

It's nice tou, to be praise by forgien chinese saying that my Mandarin has the exact China accent and yet fluent in English.
( Phew~ 13 years of Chinese education has not wasted, and thanks to my former China roomate who made me get used to their slag)

There are more interesting story after the party. I'll juz save it for the next time. This is a gift i received after the event, by a Portugis who is younger than me -_-"

Raya kat Perancis II - Grenoble

2006-10-30T20:57:00.000+08:00

Hehe, spent 3 days in Grenoble, the 2nd city i visited in France. It's located at the south of France between Lyon (2nd largest town of France), Swiss & Italy (350km away from Milan). The best part is, I'm surrounded by Alps mountain, woot~!!

I really enjoyed the scenary here, as the air is fresher, and there are mountains and river (i'm not really into sea, so...)

Almost forgot the reason we're here...

The people above with pageant tag r the event planners from Grenoble. A huge credit to them as they really put in alot of effort for this event. Almost 50 Malaysians was present that day inside this hall below.

This is us from Lille. I like this pic alot as Kimi, the 1 in purple having problem squatting down and the rest of us r teasing him with different kind of facial expression :D

The last day in Grenoble. It's been awhile since they last saw each others. There were 7 batches students came from Malaysia and the 1st batch is still in their final year in France.
However, most of them were seperated around France, this is a 'rare' occasion to actually gather so many ppl from Malaysia in the forgien land. It took more than an hour for them to say goodbye.

There are actually 3 cars goin to Italy for 1 week tour.

I want to go to ITALIA, damnit!!!

Guess u cant have everything u want even when there is actually a free space for u, rite?
Sigh~ Nvm, i'll come back during January for winter sports. Ski and snow-boarding on the Mountains of Alps :p

Raya kat Perancis I

2006-10-30T18:24:00.000+08:00

Life was hard for the 1st week when i juz got here.
As the comunication was a big headache for me.
Thank goodness i met this whole bunch of ppl who really helped me out for the past 2 weeks.

I neva thought that i'll be meeting up with so many m'sian here back when i was preparing to come over. Most of them were JPA holders & Petronas/Telekom scholars.
There are total 17+ ppl sitting in this tiny room, however i'm happy for them, to actually organize a gathering and celebrating Hari Raya. I guess that the life of a oversea student gua.

Since France does not have any holiday for it, even tou the Muslim made up the 2nd large comunity in France (now u know wat is descrimination back in M'sia, airport without Chinese words but Jap at 1st) we had this on the 3rd day after raya.

What i think about the Malays at oversea?
If they were the ppl who made up the majority in Malaysia, in terms of thinking and action, life would be so much easier for all of us.
The part where i respect them the most is, thou they are Muslim, they encourage me to go for wine tasting and introduce me to some ppl where i can really get to enjoy the local food here (pork!!)
This is something touches me, whereby they really are happy for me and trying to make my stay here as 'Best' as possible.

Thank you so much guys, and the story continues as 14 of us travelled in 2 cars for 7 hours to another gathering...

My work

2006-10-27T12:54:00.000+08:00

Ermm... been here for a week+ and i still havent talked about my work yet. It may sounds like i'm a terrible intern to have, o well...

So, the above is the building i go to online (pai seh, i work in my room most of the time but here got internet access, so...)

And this is the god i'm worshipping currently : Shawn "Napster" Fanning.

Ya, i'm handling a P2P networking stuff. Kinda sad coz i have no knowledge in Cisco, but i guess i'll be complaining more often if i've took it. (4 freaking long sem to get that bloody piece of paper, siau...)

I neva camwhored in my blog and I dun think i'll have any in the near future.

Got a presentation later on what i've researched on the given project for the past 1 week, hope i'm able to meet up my supervisor's expectation. (He looks kinda like Zidane, hope i dun get headbutt from him :p)

O ya, i'm wearing jeans for my bottom, kinda enjoy wearing this type of working suit. Those typical formal (and i mean very formal type with ties, slacks and tucked-in shirt) juz looks so duh~ Hate wearing slacks !!

Wish me luck.

It's raining !!

2006-10-24T19:19:00.000+08:00

Had an appointment in town this morning, so i go to Lille again.
And uhm...
it rain softly when i was on my way out,
pours like cats & dogs when i stepped out the train station.

Its weird tou, when there is so many ppl walking with u under the rain.
It is not possible to participate in a rain walking session back in M'sia.
However, I think it is normal for them to walk in the rain regardless how heavy the rain is.
Well, another culture shock for me i guess...

Now only i realise how useful a windbreaker is, never acknowledge it until today :p
Well, its been 2 yrs since i skipped Raya & Deepavali, nothing much to do here but to work.
In this cold weather, man i miss the hot curry so much...

ps. wanted to snap some French chick but then no luck, sorry dude, wish me a better luck next time.

My 1st self-ordered meal

2006-10-24T18:55:00.000+08:00

I've been eating very unhealthy-ly for the past 1 week. Therefore i decided to get myself a proper meal with vege.

There goes my 1st 100% French dialogue and ya, i dun understand a single shit of what he said to me, but what the heck, i got my food, settled, phew~

I still can't accept the fact that dessert is included in set, especially they gave u this tiny box of chocolate mosse where i usually throw it aside when i eat cake -_-

French @.@

2006-10-23T16:37:00.000+08:00

17 years of education, I have not encounter any situation whereby i do not understand a single shit of what ppl saying during my stay in M'sia.

Well, at least i've taught to speak in Mandarin, English and BM, or even in Canton, Hokkien and a lil bit of Hakka & Jap (just put it this way, Europian language, they are from the same root, juz that Emperor Qin who loves to burn book never born at their time)

I'm proud to be a Malaysian Chinese, whereby i know about 5,6 languages that enables me to communicate with more than half of the population in the world.

But now, i'm the alien fallen onto nowhere :((

Damn, they really dun speak English at all, other than those who are studying Computer Programming who are forced to learn (Thank you so much America, at least your dominating power has forced other nation to acknowledge your language).

Thou i've been here for about 1 week , i'm still finding ways to survive and to communicate with the natives (the ppl in France i mean). My balls shrink each time, when i need to buy something :(

Can someone just install a French speaking chip into my brain plz?
I will love u till death :p

Le Tour de Lille

2006-10-23T15:44:00.000+08:00

I took my day off last Friday and went to Lille to settle my bank account.

In the end, HSBC France need some time to process my request, so I need to go back next Tuesday :(

Well, since it is a day off, I went to walk around in town.

The weather is getting cooler than before, my legs hurt and I even miss recognize some buildings as they all looked the same to me for now :p

I was wondering, how come their old building can be so new, and yet our Melaka street... sigh -_-

Well, i would suggest our goverment took some initiative to learn from the Europian country on how to blend in the new structure yet maintaining the old enviroment.

Oh, the plaza above is the heart of Lille. I bet it's gonna be great during Christmas :D

I'm alive !!!

2006-10-18T22:07:00.000+08:00

Phew, finally...

Imagine
carrying a 30kg lugage + 6kg bagpack + 3kg laptop,

from plane transfer to bus,
then to train,
then walk a distant about from MMU hostel to Cyberia,
got lost for a while,
then take another metro(LRT) ,

alone in this piece of foreign land,
without knowing any shit about what the ppl say and what the signboard wrote
(exclude location name & some pictures),
and be late when there is somebody who suppose to take u from the station...

but yet,
i'm still alive~!!!
Thank goodness...

*Thank you so much Mr. MEDIANI, for leading me the way from airport to Lille, I shall meet u again when i've settled my stuff.

Thank you...

2006-10-15T02:44:00.000+08:00

Hmm...
This will be a new chapter of my life,
as it is what i've dream of for all these while.
I would like to take the chance to say...
thank u,
for all these years...

ah ma: for raising me up and watched over me;
daddy, mommy: for spending so much on me;
my family, relatives: for ur care and kindness;

I really never expect this coming and uhm...
I'm touched actually.
U know who u r,
so...

C ya all in 4 months time...

Spending spree

2006-10-14T00:53:00.000+08:00

Finally, i am officially done with my final year 1st sem.
Praying hard that i dun have to sit for supp la, else...
i really can't think of the consequences...

Well...
I should be studying hard during my exam week, but i juz can't help it...

Wanted a pair of Addidas Superstar since long long time ago, thou this isn't Superstar, but the color is awesome, plus nice to walk around and look pretty similar to it :p

Another piece of gadget that i've been longing for :D
Again i wanted the black color but too bad not stock :(

I know i've been acting and using money like some rich spoiled kid,
i even this close to KO my credit card,
coz there are other stuff which i bought that cost more than the 2 above.
But juz let me be me for the time being,
i promise to be a good boy after that...

Haze

2006-10-09T08:38:00.000+08:00

It's hazzy outside,
blurry,
dusty,
making ppl feel uncomfortable with it...

So as my heart,
unclear,
unsettled,
making myself sick of it,
yet unable to see whats happening due to the haze...

When will the rain be coming?
When will the dust be cleared?
When will I stop feeling like this?

*Babyface - nobody knows it but me;
It's been my all time favorite, whenever i'm all by myself...

Nervous

2006-10-06T00:10:00.000+08:00

Yup,
the fearless +1 is getting nervous now...
so many possibilities could occur for the next few months,
and so many things to atempt in such a short time.

Gonna meet people i dunno,
speak the language that I have totally no idea about it,
step on a piece of land where everything is new to me,
doing things that i may not be able to do it again...

Oh well,
juz hope that nothing much going in my way,
thou i know lately i've been pushing my luck too much,
juz hold on for a lil bit more,
wish me be safe from any unforeseen circumstances...

James Morrison - Undiscovered

2006-09-30T11:19:00.000+08:00

Its a lovely morning,
I love the smell of the early morning,
specially after the rain,
everything feels so refreshing...

Over the past few days,
the connection was so bad,
i can't hardly search for anything,
however i manage to complete the download of this CD,
this is the 1st time i listen to the whole album,
it already impressed me so much,
so here goes my 2nd album review.

I spotted his unique tone in Mix.fm,
abit of John Mayer & Daniel Bedingfield style,
plus the James Blunt British accent,
and his own unique husky tone that touches ppl's soul.

The is a simple and easy going British pop album,
a young man singing with his mature sound,
although he is only 21 years old,
but he doesn’t sound like any of those new sissy male pop star.

Recommended songs: You Give Me Something, Wonderful World, Undiscovered

Waiting

2006-09-27T00:31:00.000+08:00

It sucks,
all the time,
whenever u r:

waiting in da queue,
waiting for the web-page to load,
waiting to pass the traffic,
waiting for your test results,
waiting for someone's reply,
waiting for love...

It suck even more,
when u waited for so long,
and u got nothing...

But it suck the most,
after u waited for some time,
they gave u some hope,
and u continue waiting,
endlessly...

*picture taken while i was waiting for some1 in the car this morning...

阿婆

2006-09-24T21:20:00.000+08:00

Suddenly,
I missed my grandma alot...

Juz wanna tell her:
"ah ma, nin shun zi jun ya ho~"
Hope she'll be watching me along the way...

My luck

2006-09-22T08:20:00.000+08:00

I must say
i'm those kind of ppl who doesn't has much of it.

Whenever i got any gud news or i felt lucky for a spilt second,
it will sure accompany with some other issues.

Until this point of time,
i consider myself to be lucky enough,
to finally get wat i wish for,
for the past 1 fukking year.

But then again,
as always,
there is a price to pay whenever i get lucky,
got saman 2 days ago _l_ MMU security,
and some grandmother's story...

Well,
just hope that everything goes smoothly for now,
juz left a piece of official document,
and i'm all set to go.

Me & my old com...

2006-09-19T09:51:00.000+08:00

Well, today i'm gonna say bye bye to my old com officially.
Gotta send it back home and pass it to my bro.
Its been serving me well for the past 5 years,
i wish i could stick with it at least till my uni life is over, but...
i need something more powerful and portable for my FYP.

I'm transfering the files over to my lappie,
the hardest part for me is,
whether should i keep my library of MP3s or not.

Throughout the years,
the collections of mine in my old com walk me thru my days,
highs and lows,
the library keep expending,
as well as myself,
my life expriences and knowledge.

Have u ever had this feeling,
that u're looking for some old song to triggle some parts of ur memories,
u keep searching and asking ppl for it,
in the end only realise that the song actually sleepin inside ur hardisk?

I dun quite fancy the old songs to be honest,
often listen to new albums only.
Having said that,
sometimes it is nice,
to self-torture,
by listening back to the songs that brought so much memories to u,
in the end of day,
hiding alone in ur own sorrow world where no1 elses seems to care...

Well, gotta get moving now,
gonna miss u tou,
hope my bro dun kill u off too soon..

wazzup?

2006-09-13T00:21:00.000+08:00

nothing much really...
stuck in Cyber for the past 2 weeks without goin anywhere except food.

but the gud thing is,
i've adopted a healthy lifestyle,
sleeping at 5 in da morning and wake up at 10 automatically -_-
and the best part is,
my face is getting better,
tou it looked abit plum now,
but i promise to tone my body after the presentation.

O ya, the screwed up FYP presentation,
after this coming 16/9,
i'm gonna throw u at aside,
neva had so much programming in my life b4,
crazy @.@

and for the 2 newly formed lovebird outside da hall now,
damn u 2,
make me jealous oni,
but i'm happy for da both of ya,
and uhm...
zap sang and use protection la :p

-Hugz-

2006-09-07T21:00:00.001+08:00

Life ain't easy,
when u keep attempting mission imposible,
especially when u're all by urself...

I juz wish that i could have some1 to give me a nice warm hug now...

I love instant noodle -_-

2006-09-03T16:40:00.000+08:00

The happiest thing for me to move out from hostel is...

hee... i can cook maggie mee like nobody business :D

Merdeka Day

2006-08-31T18:22:00.000+08:00

Hope i'll be able to witness the single union Malaysian comunity b4 i die.

Whereby we dun have to fill in the 'race' columm in all sorts of aplication forms;

No such idiotic concept as 'kuota' that keep amphasizing the Malay are weaklings and needed protection for another 100 years (49 of freaking years can change Brad Pitt into an old ass for goodness sake!!);

No more local company chairman MUST be the Malay (juz change the dump chairperson of MAS to Tony for instate to stop wasting the tax payers' money);

A mix blood prime minister who drank 'salt water' b4 during his days leading us in the future.

The last thing is i do hope that i can proudly says that i love Malaysia soon... which i'm not, yet...

p.s. praying for tmr's Budget, no more increment for alcohol plz, clubbing in Zouk cost more than 500 bucks last nite for a bottle of Chivas -_-

+1 is hopeless...

2006-08-29T12:41:00.000+08:00

I am sooo... freaking lazy...
not only i skipped both of classes in 2 days,
but till a degree that i even lazy to step out my house door 2 get my lunch,
ended up bowling water for my maggie for 3 afternoons...

I am so god damn hopeless now...

Love,Sex = Drugs

2006-08-29T00:20:00.003+08:00

If u neva fall in love b4,
u might juz only looking forward for it,
and had all sorts of fantasies in ur mind...

If u neva had sex b4,
u might think it is a holy ritual of love,
or find it disgusting even for discussion...

It is fine since u have not done it b4,
it might be juz a tiny wish of u to get a taste of it,
it won't hurt at all afterall,
even if u're not able to get it.

But

if u get ur hands on both of 'em,
the drug reaction comes it,
u can never able to live without it.

U feel the pain after u broke up,
u feel there is something missing when u not have sex.
all u want is juz to fullfill ur need,
the need to be loved,
and sex.

In the end,
u tend to do stupid things,
like find a lady by the road juz to get fucked,
or asking any1 who approach u to be ur darlings...

If...
u get the picture,
u already are a part of the drug addicts...

Say 'hi' to my new black chick :D

2006-08-27T00:58:00.000+08:00

After searching and looking for more than a month,
FINALLY !!!
I got my hand on this babe...

"Hello World~"

This black chick is named 'Compaq Presario V3010AU'
It took me RM 3445 to bring it back home with an additional 1G ram and 3 years extented warranty. ( which means i can screw around with it for extra 2 more years :p )

The reason y i go for her?
- She is HOT !!
- She is cool on the inside (AMD Turion 64x2 with nvdia GPU)
- She is considerate ( in other words, cheap enough for me 2 get it)
- She is solid and tough to mess around
- and the last thing, i need her 2 do my FYP...

For a detailed review of this unit, u guys can visit here.
Mean while, let me continue to 'explore' her :D

A thing about bloggin

2006-08-26T22:07:00.000+08:00

Have u ever had an idea, or a moment, or even juz a flash of tought u wanna wrote it down and blog about it,
but due to certain reason, u are not able to put it into ur blog.

After some moment when u finally settle down and get to sit down and write about it, the mood juz gone and feeling wasn't there anymore...

I had a couples of idea been running around my mind for the past few days, but i juz dun have the mood or feel to write it down...

MMU Convo'06

2006-08-20T00:28:00.000+08:00

Post edited or so call deleted coz i dun quite comfortable with the whole approch.
The memories of me and all of u who graduated shall be kept deep down in my heart always :)

People, 得闲饮茶 (dak han yam char) wo~!!

oh-ow...

2006-08-15T23:18:00.000+08:00

I guess it will be busy weeks ahead of me after coming back from the holiday...

- mid-term test on 22/8 which i haven't touch a single tiny bit of it.

- promised my mom 2 go Selayang to deliver some stuff on Friday.

- 2 lab reports

- and the worst part is...

my freaking FYP weiii~!!

As i mention earlier, i taking up a J2ME programming title.
I'm currently taking J2SE course offered by Sun System and attending Ian Chai's Java class.
However,i still havent written any single complete program :((

And the best part is...
My FYP qualified into the next round of BT Competition, which is still a piece of proposal lying somewhere around the corner untouched.
I hope my FYP advisor Dr.Yusoff don't read this, else i'll be doomed coz it's been awhile since i last meet up with him...

Enough of talking now, guess i better settle my lab reports 1st. Tmr still have a function to attend in UKM...

The Break-Up

2006-08-10T00:37:00.000+08:00

Alright, another movie review, here it goes~

Jennifer Aniston is HOT!!!
Damn... i got turned on by juz looking her wearing tight jeans with polo top.
No wonder she's voted the sexiest jeans wearer by the public.
How i wish my girl r able to maintain the bdy figure as gud even after age of 35 next time :p

While Vince Vaughn is acting like a small kid,
in which,
most of us (guys) did,
but that's an extreme case anyway.
It's funny to watch how he tackled Jennifer in the movie at the 1st place.
How i hope to obtain half of his skills :p

Overall, i like the ending pretty much.
Wish i could at least exprienced those,
but heck,
u can't everything in ur way rite?

I guess it's enough for me 2 watch 2 sissy movie continuously,
gotta stop watching these type of movie for the time being,
else i would be a lady soon...

The Lake House

2006-08-06T21:31:00.000+08:00

If u r waiting for love,
or been deeply in love b4.
go watch...

Sandra is still as attractive as ever...
Keanu no longer play any fake ass hero,
he's just normal, yet a great man here...

Girls, in case u dunno,
thats how a man cries when they're broken...

Holi+Convo with tonnes of music lining up~

2006-08-04T12:30:00.000+08:00

woot~ it's break time again next week!!
but then again, i've already declare myself into holiday mood last Tuesday after mid-term paper :p

As usual, i'll be running back and fore between Cyber and Kajang. At the moment i'm free for grab. Come get me if any 1 out there is free :D

Now back to the music part... I've been listening to the same old album for the past 1 whole boring month. But then it seem like alot of album is coming out this August. This is the list of i want to listen albums:

陶喆 - 太美丽
王力宏
周杰伦
Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics
Justin Timberlake
ermm.. can't think of any at the moment :p but i'm sure my list is at least 2x longer than this. drop me a comment if u have any nice recomandation.

It's been awhile since i listen to any Chinese album. I must stress that some of Chinese songs are nice, but the album is rather disapointing most of the time. That is why i'm kinda exicted when i knew that those top 3 fellows are coming out their own album at the same time. It will be an interesting fight among them. hehe...

Last word, happy holiday to all MMU-ians and Happy Convo for those who r having their graduation ceremony this month ~

如果.爱

2006-07-31T17:27:00.000+08:00

如果有得选择，

我宁愿这一辈子在也遇不上她，

也不愿在遇见以后，

陌生的向她点头，

然后孤单的掉头走，

心里还是挂念着她。。。

七夕

2006-07-31T00:07:00.000+08:00

这一天，

我独自在鹊桥的尽头，

痴痴的，

等待着未知名的织女到来。。。

Intel vs AMD

2006-07-29T01:19:00.000+08:00

Its been war between both of the companies since the era of Pentium II vs Athlon during late 90's.

I've been a proud and loyal AMD fan since Millenium, even my up coming laptop will be going for Turion64x2 chipset.

Over the years, AMD has been catching up steadily behind Intel and finally surpass Intel's technology with the release of 64bit processor.

Recently AMD bought over ATi, 1 of the most advance graphic chip maker and took over more than 20% of the market share for processing unit, in which for me, as a supporter of AMD are very happy and proud of.

However, after the release of Intel's lastest processing chip, Core2Duo, this is the image projected by the tech. freaks :

The lastest release of Intel's Core2Duo has pawned AMD's 64x2 in all aspect during the benchmark test. Even the gaming part in which the AMD always the advantage over Intel has no fight against it.

Over the past 2 years AMD has been owning over Intel kau kau in terms of technology, looks likes this is the beginning of Intel's revenge.

As for now, Intel is back to its throne

but i'm sure AMD will not give up that easily, we shall wait and see...

Picture taken from somewhere in the Internet:

The moral of the story is, never let ppl bang u from the side, even a bike can kill u easily.
Therefore, bang them in the front instead, at least u won't be killed.

Rain

2006-07-27T22:26:00.000+08:00

I have always been vulnerable during rainy days.

Looking out from the window,
starring at the rain drops on the piece of glass,
listening to the simple rain droppin melody,
thinking,
has been my favorite thing to do,
whenever it is raining outside.

Many times,
the rain has walk me through my toughest stage of life.
Its like the rain has cleanse the tired, corrupted soul in me,
having a moment of peace to myself.

Today is a great day,
cause its been awhile since i feel this way again...

Shopping Carnival 22/7 - 3/9

2006-07-23T20:41:00.000+08:00

i'll be getting my own baby!! (Compaq Presario V3010AU)

woot~!!

I'm looking forward to PC fair now. Guess i'll be spending around 4k there with all the accessories. Hope this Presario would be a nice babe to me for the next coming 3-4 years time. Then it is worth wearing back the same old shirt for the next coming year...

Juz a side note, to those who are goin for shopping, happy shopping and plz dun not bug me as i'll steal ur money away and spend it on myself >:)

Back to Cathay for Pirates 2

2006-07-13T22:03:00.000+08:00

Hola~ 13/7 1st day showing of Pirates of the Caribbean 2. I'm assuming that people will be flocking into cinema to catch to show. So i decided to go back to my beloved Cathay, and hoping that there are still places where u dun have to book in advance in order to catch the hottest movie on earth.

As u can see, the sign is still there and improved.

Hehe, it has proven once again, after we bought 5 nice sitting ticket, that u dun have to book in advance for movie :p

Since we haven't took our lunch, we bought an hour later ticket. While look out form the Cathay Building, we decided to settle our stomach at The Curve.

On the way out, Addidas is having World Cup'06 stock clearance with 50% discount. Damn the world cup juz ended 3 days ago and they are having buy 1 free 1 promotion adi.

Xfresh is there on tour too, but the black color truck doesn't look appealing to me tou... or maybe it's the song...hmm...

We decide to walk into Marché after seeing the RM12.50 business lunch promo (was it?) I was kinda excited coz i tot it would be an expensive restaurant and i've neva been there b4.

To be frank,my serving was kinda disapointing, but i'd like the whole concept, whereby u can walk around and order ur food then they cook in front of u. Still it is a 1 time visit for me, although it's nice to at least go for a try doesn't it?

Now, back to pirates 2. Keira Knightley still as charming. Orlando Bloom was neva a 'man' to me. (sissy in troy, girlish in LOTR) but he's doin gud here. And lastly the MAN, Captain Jack~!!! Too bad i can get enough of Jonny Depp for this part 2, am hoping for more in part 3. Overall it's entertaining, u won't realise how time pass by during the whole 2 and half hour show.

Lastly, souvenir from Cathay after my 2 visits :D
