How is your glass?

Two, the milleniums.

Zeros, the centuries, the decades

Nine, the years.

After twenty four weeks,

three hundred and sixty five days.

All is to change in the coming hours.

Try reflecting over the minutes,

and even seconds which have gone by,

how would you judge this bottle of wine?


And there I stood, watching as those memoirs of yesteryear flash by. At one moment, there was a start of a new year, fresh and energizing. Always that way at the start. And now here we are, all standing by the tip of the canyon, the end of this journey, all ready and set to embark on a new one ahead as we watch the past fall behind, like it was just a matter of seconds.

Maybe those seconds mattered more than what it seemed to be. It has always been the human brain playing a trick on us, don't you think? Like some psychologists say, the brain cuts off less meaningful events, moving forward events to make them seem very near to us when in truth, we have gone through much more than we thought we would. Time had given us three hundred and sixty five days, only to have it converted into a matter of minutes.

On one hand, you might say I have not done much. I sometimes think so too. It is as if I have poured cheap dessert wine into my new wine glass. Bored is the term I usually use. Perhaps I indeed have not made much improvement or achievements from the eyes of the spectators, still planted in front of this little corner of mine as always. I guess this is what most think of themselves when they reflect, don't they? Try to think about it. How many on this Earth would think that they have done a lot and are extremely satisfied about how they have filled their wine glass? I'd say not more than ten percent. Sadly, when requested to give a suggestion for any amendment of time, everyone hoped they have more hours.

Yes we will never be satisfied. It is human nature. Coming out fresh from Psychology 1B, I dare say that according to various studies, the human happiness level is constant. When we experience significant events, it is then that we experience the significant change. Though, it still levels off soon after. We will then come into that same level of happiness as we once were. Many say they wish for happiness. Honestly, can this ever be achieved? I guess that question can be left for the bored in later days.

If I wrote what I have done in an essay and submit it to a superstar panel, I bet all of them would say I have wasted it. Give them to mega entrepreneurs, they would say I am stupid enough to waste income. What do you expect? Half a year of slacking plus half a year of slacking. I bet the only times I had ever made any progress can be shortened to a matter of weeks.

However, I dare say that 2009 has been the most productive year of my entire life. Physically, I may not have done much. But as far as how I thought I made my steps, I feel I have done so effectively. It could have been more, that I cannot deny. But it takes a little bit of self reflection to make someone get out of that little shell they were once guarding themselves with all these years.

I have not felt so proud of what I have been through for so long. 2009 brought me a change to my life. My perceptions, my ideas. It was when I realised what I had really wanted and what I had passion about. It was then I discovered the very pieces that form my soul. It was then that I finally reflected through all my life, and finally come to my senses on what I was to go through in the coming decade.

This may seem kind of small. But hey, who would dare say that they know what they want for themselves, truthfully and with confidence? That is an achievement itself that goes a long way. I found my interests, my goals and my soul. Finally, "我的自述" should not be much of a problem. Something that I should have mastered a long time ago. The question of the centuries.

Anyhow, words must be put into action. A new dawn looms ahead at the horizon, promising so much hope and excitement. Let the psychics say all they want about omens and predictions. It is not up to them to predict how we should run our lives. Destiny might ask you to predict your own life, making it your destiny to do it. But since it is our destiny to do all that we are supposed to do, why not look ahead with a smile and take the next footstep in our destiny's path. As for me, I'm just happy to have the privilege to do something I have not wanted to do for the last 16 years of my life. Haha. Don't you just love what your destiny can do to yourself? I do. And hopefully, those around the globe would love their destinies. Onward with the millenium!

Coming back to the wine glass. High class wine drinkers say dessert wine drinkers are low class. Red wine is the thing out there. I'd have to give them a slap in the face. A wine glass is meant for wine. If dessert wine is not wine, what is it? Besides, come to think of it, dessert wine can prove to be quite a lovely beverage too. As a new wine glass is placed before me, what should I pour into it? Well, that's the question I'd leave for tomorrow.

As for now, there is still 3 quarters of an hour to go here in the land down under. My best wishes to all that I have been so privileged to meet out there! To all in Penang and all over the world. Let us all have a toast with the last few sips of the wine in our wine glass and enjoy every moment of it!

To all readers out there,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope you have an awesome glass of wine! =)

Covey-ing the Message

A passage I've come over a couple of times already. Not the first time. Yet, suddenly got reminded about this in an email (Thanks :) ). A bit long I know, but worthwhile. Just a little something I'd wish to share with all you delightful readers out there. =D

Discover the 90/10 Principle.

It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).

What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.

What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.

We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic.

We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.

How? ……….By your reaction.

You cannot control a red light. but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.

Let's use an example.

You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened.

What happens next will be determined by how you react.

You curse.

You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus.

Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit.

After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home.

When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.

Why? …. Because of how you reacted in the morning.

Why did you have a bad day?

  • A) Did the coffee cause it?
  • B) Did your daughter cause it?
  • C) Did the policeman cause it?
  • D) Did you cause it?

The answer is “D".

You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.

Here is what could have and should have happened.

Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "Its ok honey, you just need to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference?

Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.

Why?

Because of how YOU REACTED.

You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you!

React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them?

WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive?

Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job.

Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.

The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take outpour frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on.

Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.

Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.

The result?

Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.

It CAN change your life!!!

Many thanks to Stephen R. Covey for this article! Something to remind us all about how we should deal with problems and not overreact. Some things you might argue cannot be helped. But if a little bit of damage control can turn things around, it goes a long way. A thought I would like to share :)

Monday, November 9, 2009

Sometimes, we see things in a very simple way. Our very actions and activities day by day prove to be nothing but a routine to us, seemingly harmless in every way. A friend once told me that there is nothing to be afraid of, it's only the fear inside your heart.

That is in many ways, true. Yet, sometimes, you can't help but feel it.

I, myself, have a great flaw - paranoia. During situations where I feel I have no control of, freaking out is the first thing on my mind's to-do list for some reason. I certainly wished that I didn't have it, for if I didn't, I would have been a more successful person in life. At least, that's what I thought.

Come to think of it, though, I may have been a completely different person.

Well, that aside, sometimes, things can not be within your grasps any time. Try as you like to gain control over it, but it won't work.

Take life as an example. Everyone lives their own free lives, aiming to be the best that they will ever be.... constantly going higher and higher till you reach the top.

However, in this Rat Race, there is bound to be an "Mousetrap accident".

External forces would play their little game of disruption, constantly providing obstacles and danger in our way. Just as you'd play Monopoly. If you took a thousand turns, there is bound to be once where you'd lose cash... or even head to jail. Life is unfair as I've learned. People don't wish for calamities. You see rain dances, but not earthquake dances, right? Yet, they come inevitably and are unavoidable.

Such, as the news recently suggested. Although I might not know this person, the impact was still felt. The fact that the external force seemed to be of low danger to many just shows how little things deserved to be watched out for. No wonder the elders always tell us to be careful. Even in examinations, we are taught the concept of being cautious. This just highlights it all.

Though, cautious itself, sometimes, just isn't enough. "It's not like I've seen death on the news for the first time" as another friend blogged. But this one, considerably closer than most of them, just gives you a wake up call on how bloody precious life can be and how ridiculously cruel it can also be. It was........... out of our control.

For some reason, it just felt emotional. Just goes to show how much we should appreciate life and not whine about the little things we face everyday. We should live it to the maximum while we can.

want to be someone extraordinary in near future..

A big dream of the late James that could not be fulfilled. A reminder to us all who want to achieve greatness. Life, as it is, is not eternal and perfect. Fate, as it is, is hard to be changed. Instead of trying to change fate, work on what we have and do as much as we can. Live life well!



To the three, may you rest in peace.

For The Love Of Art

Ah! The WileyPlus assignment is out! *runs to do*

Well, I guess when you go into uni, you get lots of cool things. Not just the technology and systems. But also, how the assignments are done. I have just completed my WileyPlus assignment :), something we have to do every 3 weeks or so. Got something new that I'd wish to share :P *not sure if I'm allowed to tho, but here goes*

Behold, THE ULTIMATE ORGANIC CHEMISTRY DRAWING JAVA PROGRAMME!



Drawing my dipeptides



My final answer.

So that's what you call a MarvinSketch. Honestly, it's one of the most troublesome programmes. Pulling elements and bonds here and there! Can't I just use an interactive pencil and draw some cool structure like this?

On second thought, maybe not. Haha. Life rocks when you go to uni :P

Un-surprised

Gonna be a little emo. Well, what can I say? It's not like I never saw it. I was never surprised. Yes, excuses may come all they want. But still, sometimes, you feel like you're like a louse, being such an annoyance that you don't even know it. Yet, sometimes you know you did nothing wrong.

The world is constantly changing. For one moment, you thought you belonged. Yet at one moment, everything goes behind you.

What can I do? I knew it from the start. Surprise? Nah. I guess I was trying too hard. Maybe it's time for something fresh and leave everything behind. At least I can say that I did my best. For all that I know, a small notice would not be even sensed.

Maybe it's not what you did wrong. Maybe sometimes, it's some people's problem. They just don't value you enough. Even after all you tried and constantly seeking ways to improve, it just wouldn't work for you. Why is it like that? How I wish life was ever fair to us all.... Then, I would not suffer from this predicament. This just s*cks.

Remembering what a friend said last time, I guess it was true. Would it make that much of a difference? Trying to defy it, every attempt was thrown to fight it. I guess like another friend said, desperation leads you nowhere. True enough.

Just want to feel known. So much for the past....

The Miracle

Finally, a breather. What I'm supposed to do is done. Now, on towards the light! Soon, it'll all change and a new beginning will arise. But anyhow, it has been one heck of a road.

Whether I get what I want or not is another matter. Even if I ever wanted it so dearly, all I can hope for now is a miracle in life. Something, that I admit I have not seen for a while. Then again, I might see many miracles happening around me already, not knowing it... or perhaps, neglecting it.

I have always wondered why my life is this way. To be honest, even if I can say others are pessimistic, it still does not take away the fact that I have a doubtful, somewhat pessimistic thinking as well. Even what I say on this little spot contradicts what I have previously thought. I guess, this is the art of learning. Perhaps, after all those negative thoughts, you finally realise that what you keep thinking of is futile. It is practically useless to keep thinking that life is going against you.

True, you can't deny the fact that life sometimes feels like waves of tsunami smacking your very soul. I certainly felt that way some time last year. It feels really bad, I admit. For someone who has faced very little difficulties, sometimes, the smallest of obstacles can prove to be a great one to jump over. Not obstacles like Chemistry that some face, but obstacles like attachments and life in general. Rejection is simply something you may not fancy in that particular time. But hey, immaturity got the best of me I'm afraid.

Life is like a living hell? Yeah, this is probably on everyone's mind at times. You probably find life to have no meaning. The more you think of it, the more disappointed and saddened you become of how your life is. You look at the people around you and wonder why you can not be like them or have what they have. You see people having what you can't have, and keep dreaming on, only to let the dream disappoint you time and time again. It is then that you feel depressed. Doesn't everyone go through this?

But if you think of it again, if everyone goes through this, wouldn't it make sense that we are all envying one another. When this happens, wouldn't it just indicate that we are just fools who only know how to appreciate what we don't have. Why don't we just appreciate what we have and make the most out of it? Easier said than done, especially even when you don't want to think that way, you just can't help it.

How we wished life was just filled with miracles. Everyday, why won't there be a world where everyone suddenly become billionaires. Why won't there be a world without broken hearts? Why won't everyone get what they want! But if you look at it, THE WORLD IS THAT WAY. If you take a look at relationship, if A and B likes C, there is bound to be a problem. If both of them gets what they want, would you mind if we cut C in half? Either way, there is bound to be a broken heart.

In fact, miracles do happen everyday. Everyday in life, you see couples come together, cancer survivors, near escapes etc. Doesn't it strike you that you see a miracle every time you watch the news? If you learn how to appreciate what happens in your life, you would also realise that miracles happen everyday in your own life! It's just that we are too ignorant or fortunate to realise the very fortunes we have.

Perhaps something would show how life is to be appreciated. How miracles can happen anywhere when destined to. Today, a mother let go of her pram with her baby in order to pull up her pants. In the process, the pram starts to move right down into the railway track right in front of the mother. The mother watched as the baby and the pram fall onto the railway track as a train steamrolls past the station. The mother lunged at her infant, desperate to save the precious baby......... It was not enough...... Thankfully, the emergency brakes were used. However, the train already ran over the tram with the baby.......................... Sad now? Here'some prove for you. Observe the pram and the train passing by.


BUT WAIT! THE BABY WAS SAFE! How?! I don't think Mr. Universe can survive a train running over him. How can a baby survive? In fact, the baby only sustained a small bump on his head? How can the softest and weakest of skin muscles survive such a large force? I got one word for ya - MIRACLE!

Besides, if you think of it, how we ever came to exist is a miracle itself.... Hence, don't feel so bad about life, the thought might just be the very object that eats it up instead. Be strong, be positive!

Where U At

My message to MBBS degree (LOL, I'm not joking)



Well, check out the translations if you don't believe me ;). Anyhow, I bet Sau Fei would love this song too haha. Thought I'd put a song for all of you who are disturbed/depressed/busy/exam-ing/studying/emoing people these days. Time to take a breather from all that crap. Listen to a nice song after a crappy day like how I told my interviewer I'd do it. Life is not meant to be dull, but enjoyed to its fullest. Feel the love!

Take it away, Taeyang-shi!

Goodbye

From the UoA computer suite:

If you are thinking that I am leaving this blog to rot, you are one crazy hag. Just a title to scare some. Then again, it seems like a very appropriate title for what I am about to say.

If some of you might be aware, I'd probably be moaning about bad interviews. Well, it is true. Nervousness got to my head I'm afraid. The once control and preparation I had was all gone in front of what was to be my Biology lecturer, who looked friendly yet sometimes a bit uninterested. You would know that I really have doubts on a lot of things. That glimpse of his disinterest just caught my attention, probably affecting how I was to perform. You can't help it. When you are blabbing tons of stuff out which is not crap but full of logical points, you would surely feel weird when the interviewer does not give any reply or makes a rather "no-effect" face. I guess it is safe to say that my lecturer has darn good acting skills to intimidate the ones he interviews, hah? Maybe XD.

Well, of course, the usual messing up with words and having your tongue tied continued to wreak havoc onto my interview replies. It kind of sucks to know that after all those interviews, I still get the same feeling every time - "Saying something then regretting that I said it too soon, making me mess up my points." Yeah, I think it was evident a few times, which could have made him have the thought that I prepared the entire thing which was supposedly unprepared.

Anyhow, what's done is done. After one day of complaining, I think it's safe to say that I have expressed every discontent I had towards my interview and come back to the highway again. Not confident as after I did my PQA. This was a totally different feeling. It was a normal interview which I personally screwed up. All I have to blame is myself, and then move on with life. You know, even if I don't get this, there's always an alternative route to it.

I should know. I've been through it. If you want to talk in the point of university acceptances, I bet no one other than perhaps JR (He applies too many, his fault :P) would understand how rejection has become a very normal process in my life. In April, almost all but one rejected me. In June, more came. Furthermore, I get official rejection letters from places like Harvard. Hey! I GOT A HARVARD LETTER, AIN'T THAT COOL?

Maybe not. But the point is, even if a girl supposedly dumps you, you think you won't have another girl who is equally as attractive whether outside or in that doesn't want you. Think about it. With all your heart, you can do everything *ripped of With All Your Heart by plusOne*. Even if an earthquake strikes Vanuatu, it didn't strike Fiji.... well in geological terms, yet. But anyhow, life is just like that. Whenever you fail, you mourn and cry over spilt milk. Sour grapes. After that, you naturally find it the norm. Like recently in Psychology, I learned that the change in happiness is short-lived. Even if you win the lottery, wouldn't you be happier for what, 2 years? After that, you tend to be as happy as before.

Same goes for sadness. Mourn about it, smash yourself for it. What you are doing is wasting your ATP that your body so dearly needs. Think over it and correct yourself. Improve yourself. If life were simply just about winning, who is going to lose? Someone is bound to. It might seem dark at a point. But hey, find another way towards the light. Perhaps, because of rejection, you can find something better in your life! Certainly what I got. Why not try it?



Remember, sometimes goodbye IS a second chance! :)

I Had A Bad Day

Nothing is perfect. I guess it has just been justified hah? At one moment, you thought finally you have finished everything there is to do and have a really good day. At another moment, things just never go your way no matter how much you want it to be your way. Sometimes, it's just not your fault but because of others, you have to take the pain and disappointment. Yet, sometimes, everything seems mixed and all jumbled up.

Things like this happen. The day I just went through was just indescribable. Some things were done was just not my fault. Everything was because of someone else's mistake. Although I hate to say that the mistake repeated itself in a matter of days, it still happens. And with this mistake that affected you, it makes your entire mood for the day change. Everything that you don't desire just flows right into your life.

They say a bad mood and mindset ultimately make you encounter negative happenings. I never believed it. I thought as long as you tried to make it better, you can change destiny. True that a bad mood can lead to this, but sometimes, it's just luck. Why do some people start the day sad and yet end up with so much fortunes? Sometimes, they don't have positive mindsets like I do as well. And yet, everything comes to them. It's luck for me.

But what's true about that statement is that a bad mood leads you to a bad day. Contradicting? Let me explain. Think of it like lava from a volcano *sorry I can't think of anything less violent after today's happenings*. It starts off at the peak, and then slowly flows down. The more common illustration are of basaltic lavas *pardon me for Geology terms*. They branch as they travel down the slope of the volcano. What started off on top ultimately branches off to the bottom and causes the rest of it to happen. The lava flows from the start to the end.

Well, using this simple illustration, put it into real life. Start the day with a bad mood.... and you do things with little mood. Every time someone just had a disappointing occurrence, they wouldn't have the feeling to do anything else. It's natural. I wouldn't say that the bad mood aura attracts more negative things. It just simply causes it. When you have a bad mood, you do the next stuff with a bad mood. And when those end up not satisfactory, you get an even worse mood. With this mood, blah blah blah. You get the picture. Ultimately, I guess it depends on how you control your mood.

Pain and disappointment are self-imposed. FALSE. They are definitely not always so. When someone else is at fault, you are sometimes the victim of it. However, it's these little things that lead to further mishaps. Like today. I started with a bad mood, leading me to forget a document, leading me to waste more cash AND leading me to waste my time. And because my bad mood made me forget another thing, it cost me even more time! That sucks right? Yeah, even the shopkeeper saw it.

How to deal with this? EQ! Yes. I admit I have low EQ. But well, my recovery and realisation rate is super high, I dare say. Upon suffering pain, I usually panic, as most know me. After the loss, I usually go back to the "no feel" state. Sometimes, it's because the emotions get the best of your logic. If you let your logic take you through it, sometimes, you would see that it isn't so bad after all. You'd start to realise that, it's just another one of those days. Get over it like how you get over every challenge. Even if luck is against you, GO AGAINST IT! Fight it! It takes a true warrior to survive a battle! Nothing stopped men of Sparta from victories in the past. Although they soon succumbed, they still had victories and triumphed against the invaders. Even with the challenges ahead, WE CAN STILL DO IT!

And oh, thought I should include something for this instead of plain text. Sorry if I wasted your time reading my rants haha. Something familiar to refresh your minds :)




Message of the Day :
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Go for the ride. At the end of it, there comes the light :)

Patience is virtue

Sorry for all the commotion, but well, needed some place to express it. Sometimes, things just don't go your way. You know it is always wrong the way those things go, but on purpose, it would try to escape from sense.

Then again, if life had made sense from the beginning, nothing would have been achieved by the human race. True that Qin Shi Huang never thought of sense when sacrificing all he had to build what is to be the world's longest structure. If he had made sense, perhaps the whole territory of China might be in the hands of Mongols for a long time. Who'd knew? Till now, people still deem it as an act of murder when in truth, it was a saviour to many.

As if the world itself made sense. How on earth would you imagine flying clumps dust coming together to form the core and then slowly forming the many layers which eventually make the Earth how it is today? Does that make any sense? If I use the dustbunnies under everyone's seat and compressed it with a machine, would it make me a mini-earth? Sounds illogical right? Yet, it is one of the most convincing and proven ways of planet formations.

The world makes little sense. Keep that in mind. Sometimes, it's these illogical methods which eventually makes what we call sense in the first place.

Patience is virtue as the title says. Well, true. Sometimes, even if it is totally non-sense, it is wise to tolerate it. Little things should be put aside and left to rest. Mistakes happen in life. It's better to show an act of friendliness than cast others aside over a small matter. After all, it's working together that brings any group success.

Making more friends is better than making enemies, that I know for a fact.

Message of the day : Friends have no value. It is impossible to put any price tag on friendships since it's one of life's many existence factors. Appreciate your friends, make new friends, learn to be a people's person. Be patient with mistakes and mishaps, sometimes it is this attitude that make them respect you. Just look at Obama ;). Why not learn from that?

And oh, keep sense and logic out of the way please? Life is not an operable machine. It takes creativity and sensitivity.

The magnificence of life.

A little update on how it's been so far. Well, getting hang of university life is not something you can do within the glimpse of an eye. But it takes a while to get familiar to your surroundings. Where to go, what to eat, what to do, who to go to are all the normal questions you'd ask when you first arrive somewhere. Even though I've come to this place a few times already, it's still relatively new to me. Like people say, staying some place is a whole lot different to going some place for a holiday. This certainly proved it to me.

So far, uni life has been great. Made a few friends and acquaintances. Pretty nice people I'd have to say. Although I haven't actually made any close Malaysian friends *=P*, no matter. I've met lots of people from various backgrounds and origins. Got a few local friends, few from China, few from Malaysia etc. All is well in the SA town is what I would say for now. Though, I can tell you that I've been quite a Yon-Hon minus the epic cleverness in the university :P........ Of course, you'd expect me to talk whenever I'm talked to and start a conversation when the time is right. But I've kept my distance haha....

Well, you can argue that I did not achieve my mission of becoming a socializing freak that I boasted about before I went, but certainly, just want to create a good base come January... when my actual intake happens. Haha..... never told anyone here yet... except maybe TS XD.

Anyhow, life has not been not brilliant for a while. It's actually kind of relaxing, being in a place like this. I must say that as much as I miss some hectic environment, I feel a lot better being here. Though, the days pass by really quickly for some reason. Unlike the past few years, this has been one of the quickest years I've been through for a while. But hey, all of this is worthwhile.

"Life is dull." I bet this statement would come to an end when you feel the way I'm feeling right now. At the moment, I feel a lot like an ant in the Amazon jungle, being a tiny fraction of what's to be the entire world. Coming here for the past two months meant a lot. It was what I expected and yet it seemed a hundred fold more. All those talk about the place being silent and absolutely boring by peers..... well, let's just say they were extinguished in the blink of an eye. A brand new horizon looks upon my life and I can't help but feel woeful yet intrigued about its emergence. It was only for the past few weeks that I realised, "Hey! Who said we're only stuck to one course?" Life is absolute. It's just a matter about how you depict it and experience it throughout your journey.

You can never expect anything to go Boom! Boom! Pow! and appear right in front of your eyes. You need patience and resilience. You can say that it is a fact that I had doubts coming to the place I currently set foot on every time I wake up from bed. You can say that I aspired to go to the land where I once come from. You can say that I had a bigger desire to do things dubbed better than what I was going to do now. Yet, all these claims were only left into the garbage after an air trip two months ago.

To all who feel that the world is only confined to two peninsulas with a multicultural composition, I would say I am sorry to disappoint you. Few months ago, if you asked me if it would be any difference if you were to go out of that box, I'd tell you of course...... though, with not a single proof of it. Sure, I might have travelled to many places, but nothing beats the feeling of actually being there and doing that. I guess that's where "been there done that" came from, hah? You'd ask me, "Why don't I just go to IMU or Taylor's for a simple degree and then work my way overseas.... later in life?" or "I want to study and live in Malaysia." Something I'd tell you would seem like "When you go overseas, you get experience, more recognition and more opportunity." Somehow, I have to admit concrete proof was what I lacked. I thought to myself when answering that it was true that there was nothing really much of a difference, even when my mouth was saying something else. I had a strong belief though, that kept burning throughout.

Finally, however, I can say that what I argued about and tried to point out to each of you is still the case for me now, if not having a stronger argument. What you get out of the country is a whole new different world. You can never deny that Malaysia is your safety pillow, some place where you are sure that you are going to have a good and enjoyable life ahead. But, isn't life all about taking risks? When you offer someone your hand, it's taking a risk. When you sit on a cable car to Genting Highlands, it's taking a risk. Even when you are driving a car, it is still taking a risk. If you don't take a risk in life, you will never get anything out of it. Pessimists exist throughout the world. Why? I would say that they had never experienced the beauty of life enough.

I'd like to say what WY said was absolutely right. He'd rather go to a new place like North Dakota than some place similar. I can say that he would be having more fun than I am. But still, something I would like to say to him is, no. He was right in the sense that the environment is the same. But still, even with the many similar conditions, the world is much different from what I experience back then. Even if you have a lot of Malaysian friends in a place, the things you experience in that place is a whole lot different, if you actually want it to be. Take my cousin for an example, he has already been here for 3 years. No doubt, he would have a lot of Malaysian friends and he does. However, I can bet that he has already experienced a whole lot more than what some people here have experienced. It's all about enjoying life and maximising what you do to the fullest. You can have that much similarity and yet, it's that little difference that could make you unleash your inner self and experience what's around here for you in a whole new different way.

I guess I'm being a little repititive, but all I'd like to advise to all of you out there still working your way to university is that, do what you got to do. If you do well, then opportunities will come. And when they do, grab them with the quickest motion. If you ever get a chance to go overseas, never hesitate to do so. Even if it's to a little town in South Australia, or some place far north in the middle of the United States, life has not given you a better chance! Who cares about the weather, the possibility of not knowing anyone or even the possibility of not having games to play! It is these sacrifices that you have to make in order to achieve what you want to achieve. It is only with these sacrifices that you can finally experience what is meant by life.

Isn't this what this blog is supposed to be about? "Looking through the window to life and its wonders." I guess what I thought would be a nice theme has certainly become an effective motto for me in life. There is a saying that opportunity only knocks once. Yes it does. But do you know how many opportunities come knocking on your door? Millions and billions! I could write a whole essay on this. Problems always arise out of opportunities. That comes with the whole package, doesn't it? Where there is profit, there is always a loss. Newton even came up with to every reaction there is an opposite and equal reaction. Financial issues, social issues.... those are just problems that hinder you from doing what you are destined to do. And sometimes, these problems make the profit you get seem so small when in fact, it is bigger than ever.

You can say that financial status is a problem. Hey, I can just about write a 1000 word essay to prove you wrong. Take WY for an example. What I admire about him is his ability to take such a risk. Even if it's going to NDSU which is virtually unknown and is in a very secluded part of the United States, it is to me, one of the best decisions I have seen anyone make. I even sometimes bite myself for not doing it, out of fear and out of greed. Yes, fear and greed. But at the end of the day, he can say that he has been to the United States. I am sure his perspective towards life is even more sophisticated than mine come three years later. In fact, a lot of people do this already. Take a look at the people around us, I can see at least 5 taking this step towards the wilderness. If you even come out with an excuse that you do not have enough money, take a look at the cost of it. In fact, it is about the same as what you would get in Malaysia itself. If it was because of parents of course, I can't argue much.

However, the point is, there are many ways for one to experience this. It's all about searching and seeking these opportunities. If opportunities were said to knock on one's door, I'd say that opportunities would never knock on one's door if you never even make an effort to seek them. Take these opportunities in life and make a giant leap forward. Take these risks and prepare for a great future ahead! Experience life to its greatest extent before you can say that you regret not doing so. I hope this message goes across your thoughts. Hopefully, you can get to experience what I experience right now in the near future. And all the best in life!

R.I.P MJ

Another average day?.... Well, it wasn't. Hyped up by the prospect of Transformers 2, it was supposed to be a very exciting day ahead. I guess nothing can be perfect, hah? Not even a day.

Well, it isn't common that I would wake up at around 6 when I had gone to sleep at 2 in the morning. Usually, it'd be at around noon when I would be up and getting ready for a brunch. But no, something got me up. It was a text message. Haha, how weird. Usually I'd just not realise it at all. Maybe I was aging I thought. After that, it was back to sleep for me.

Weird right? Perhaps it was really an indication given that friends have all had, supposedly, "signs" that something had happened. Well, when I finally did wake up, true enough, it was already 11 and lunch was ready. As I switched on the TV, my mum told me the shocking story. Couldn't believe it at first but when I switched on CNN, the whole tragedy shocked me. It has really happened. The King Of Pop, has really passed away.

Ironically, it happened 5 hours ago, about the time I had that sudden awakening. Coincidence? Well, let's just say that perhaps this has shook even the heavens above enough to awake everyone at that very moment in time.

Of course, it came as a big shock, seeing how his life was that he would go through almost everything, even hell and that back again if he already hasn't. For a gem like MJ, it seemed that he would be with us forever. But in truth, even if he was a legendary king, he was nonetheless, a human.

Towards the end of his life, he really suffered through many challenges and obstacles that has sometimes left him tired and deflated. To me, it was kind of unfair for a person who has done so much to the world to be treated this way in recent years. Sitting down on the couch watching MJ's tribute was a real eye opener. It made me realise how important he was to the whole universe. Being a fan of his music for years now, this has really been like a dagger through the heart. Haha, I actually shed a few drops of tears while I reminisce what he has brought to us in this era.

Nevertheless, his legacy will live on forever. What he has done to the world, putting aside from all that controversies which by the way now people say were untrue, will always be remembered and treasured in the hearts of all of us forever. As some people say, we are only remembered and appreciated when we are lost. How true. As for me, I'll continue to play this tiny album I got from Teddy just 2 days ago for the whole day. Michael Jackson's Greatest Hits : HIStory.

Rest In Peace Michael Jackson! We will always love you!

The King Of Pop

My Wife Must Be Pretty

Today on Star...

Telling your wife she's not pretty may soon be an offence

By MUGUNTAN VANAR

KOTA KINABALU: A husband telling his wife that she is no longer pretty in an attempt to humiliate her can be classified as an emotional violence offence if amendments are made to the Domestic Violence Act (DVA)1994.

The plan is to amend the DVA for the inclusion of a clause on emotional violence against women.

Currently, they are only protected only against physical abuse, Women's Development Department director-general Datuk Dr Noorul Ainur Mohd Nur said.

She said on Wednesday that the aim for proposing the amendment was to safeguard women both physically and emotionally.

Dr Noorul said emotional violence was a form of abuse that would deeply scar a woman and lower their self-esteem, dignity and self-confidence.

“It could be a case where her husband tells his wife she is ugly or humiliates her until she feels emotionally pressured,” she told reporters at the end of a seminar on how to curb violence against women at Wisma Wanita here.

She added they were in the process of bringing the proposed amendments to Parliament.

State Community development and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun closed the seminar organised by Sabah Women’s Affairs Department.

Azizah, in her speech, said that there was a need for the law to protect emotional violence against women.

Azizah said there were a total of 99 cases of violence against women in Sabah in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 220 cases during the same period last year which was reported to the police.

This place is officially..... GG. God, next time, looks does matter. My advice, choose your wife wisely.

Oh, and I'm looking forward to that final tonight! =D

Keyboard And Kittens

Well, something I saw on CNN about a buzz on YouTube. Basically something about terrible incidents happening which could be quite serious but yet if you look at it in another way, you may find it kind of hilarious. Well, at least the kitten makes you think that way. Haha. In conclusion? KEYBOARD KITTEN SAVES THE DAY! :D

You might argue that it eats the space of my blog and does not fit my current layout. But who cares when you got the flamboyant kitten out on its keys =P. Completely worth it I tell you even though some people might find it pretty lame and boring. Your taste I guess XD. Well, let's just let the Keyboard Kitten save this blog post and play it off, shall we? XD Kitty to the rescue!!!!!!!!!!




LOL... Speechless :X Wonder why I am laughing at it....


You don't want to know :X
______________________________________________________________________

Anyway, this is kind of pointless. But, you can't deny the awesome cuteness of ze Keyboard Kitten! Here is KK once more with its hit single! meow Meow MeOw!



Epic kitten <3

Weekly Report

Well, been quite a while since I officially blogged. Gah, maybe need to sweep some cyber dust here. Here goes!


X-Men Origins : Wolverine

Yeah, you gotta love X-Men. You gotta love Gambit. More importantly, the one who started it all, Wolfie, I guess. Went to watch it with a gang of friends *youknowwhoyouare*. I actually feel that this movie has more meaning and suspense to it than the original X-Men trilogy. More action throughout the movie compared to well, explanations and dialogues that are quite predictable or already known from the comic. Even if you haven't read the comic like me, remembering them from cartoons is pretty easy. However, how was life before X-Men? Consider me a little bit of an amateur in the X-Men, but I actually felt this was a brilliant movie to illustrate what was to come in the trilogy. Even though certain mutants had short spells or sudden unexplainable appearances like how Gambit only appears when Wolverine was about to be "crushed" by a wall at the end, it was a pretty good movie throughout. The story itself is what amazes me. Plenty of humor too. You don't see audiences laugh constantly in a superhero movie often eh? A little bit of sarcasm here and there. Great movie throughout and great cast too. Not entirely full of superstars but only some like Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds and will.i.am. Say what you like, it was a great movie and bound to be one of the best in 2009. Haha, okay, after all that, here's my rating.

8.5/10
____________________________________________________________________

Then, on the Saturday, guess what. I experienced my first computer failure on this computer I have for more than a year. Power supply failure. I guess some lizard crawled into it and managed to get itself zapped when I switched on the powa. Like Talon's little problem last time I suppose. Or it might have been something else. Not sure. But ah well, I did do a couple of trial and error attempts to find out the problem. It ended up on almost like, what... 5 times in which I got a blackout at home? Not sure. But I'm sure my parents got frustrated and annoyed >.<. Got it fixed on Monday and came back on the net again! Yay! Ah, what more? On this day, 06.05.09, another two great things occured. Yesh! Behold, take two!

One

Arsenal 1 - 3 Manchester United

Everyone's lovin' it. Haha. This would've made my day if not for the Fletcher sending off. Totally unfair when it was supposed to be an excellent legal tackle. Oh well.... Brilliant, nonetheless

Even Becks has to agree. Wait, why in the world did he come in to the dressing room when everyone was..... Nevermind...

Two
Oh well... Since it didn't make my day, I guess something else must. Presenting.....


2NE1 - FIRE

Aha! I almost forgot! Today is 2NE1's debut! Well, got to say this was highly anticipated, considering YG promised a big debut and they are supposedly like a female Big Bang. Listened to it once and boy am I addicted. More importantly, I'd like to salute them for not taking the cute, kawaii path like some of the female Korean groups have done. Haha, being bad girl totally owns the opposite of it! XD. Besides, there's also another badass street version available if you search on YouTube. Not the best song in the world but certainly a very addictive song I am looping right now. Better than most of the girl groups' debuts! Hah! *I am a little prejudice since I'm biased towards Big Bang* Space version! Love the outfits and setups! <3 What to do? Already got myself with 2NE1 flu. Ah well, I guess it's good that the Big Bang addiction can be stopped for some time, eh? XD. Made my day and week! Yesh!
____________________________________________________________________

A little short update here but well, hopefully I can get more materials! Till the next time, mates!

Destined For Diabetes : Part Uno

Diabetes... incurable? Oh god... It seems that on this day, April 28th, there are now 6 more hungry people in the world bound for diabetes. What's more? Probably the worst of them all is going to be me. Yes, sadly... I am proud to announce that I am officially part of the 'DFD' club! T_T

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

(This is a DFD club broadcast brought to you by Hungry Noobs. Just eat it!)
____________________________________________________________________

DFD Part Uno - April 28
Shandagoras?
The air filled with the scent of sugar. Even the very olfactory buds of my very nasal cavity could sense the change in its concentration, multiplying by multiples you can't even imagine every nanosecond of the day. Reminds me of Flo-Rida's sugar.... Sigh....

Today, the DFD were on a mission. For.......


Object 1 of disaster, THE NIKE SHOES. At 11.30 a.m. GMT +8 time, a certain chilled brandy headed out to the Bay of the Queen in search of the first ingredient of this epic, disastrous cauldron of doom. Despite all the hustle and rush for time, it seemed that time was irrelevant. After scouring the various stalls and stands, it finally came down to a certain JUSCO where the ingredient would be perfect for its value, for the brandy, that is. Smartly, Math came into the board game and off he went with his formulas and theorems, as seen below :

Every 100 dollars, 20 dollar rebate.
Nike Shoe A : 209 dollars 0 cents.
Adidas Shoe B : 199 dollars 0 cents.


Figure out that mystery question and you shall win the answer of the first ingredient to the magical DFD cauldron!

Why did it have something to do with the DFD cauldron? I mean, shoes and cauldron? What the heck is the relation of those two? Surely you don't want to drink a magical potion made of rubber! Ah! But this was to lead to the next event!

The Broken Shandy and the Gold of "Unbrokenness"!
Short and simple. The now broken brandy has now a new pair of shoes. To what? To have an excuse to withdraw his dedicated payroll earned from the scroll center that has borders everywhere around its stall. Still untouched, it laid beautifully on the safety vault in the storage. However, everything comes to an end. At the end, the broken brandy had no choice but to withdraw his gold of "unbrokenness" in order to join the journey of those who are destined for DIABETES!

Tribal Council and the Big Red Monster?!
Sadly, it wasn't a case of elimination at tribal council. More of a meeting of some sort. But as the chosen ones got to the venue, gallons of water started pouring onto the ground beneath their very vehicles. It was almost certain that they were destined to not approach the "Laksa Of Longkang" (LOL) to start the journey towards their destiny. Instead, fate has led them towards the secret of Rat Island. After minutes of travelling, they have finally reached their destiny!!!!!!!

Behold! The Big Red Noodles! *otherwise known as Mee Goreng*


These tasty noodles are made of well, flour which contributes to over 60 percent of the above dish! This Indian delicacy, consisting of none other than beancurd, potatoes, veges and the ever so secret ingredient, SQUID!, became the catalyst in an effort to quench their thirst for food. Simply unforgettable. A renowned marvel in its territory. A little spicy but not too much. Thankfully, no wasabi added as we already have enough greens in the form of vegetables!Just right for hungry hearts like these men. You can see it from the picture! Ain't those noodles look big, red and tasty?! Judge by yourself. For that, it rates 7 point 3 on the rate-o-meter!

The Legend of the Green Worms
Next on their quest, is the legend of the green invertebrates! These worms thrive in icy conditions, preferably in milk and brown sugar, while enjoying the red beans growing all around it. Don't believe me? OBSERVE!

*Chendol*

As described, these green objects, also known as Grass Jelly, together with red beans in a bowl of brown sugary and milky cauldron to form what we known as Chendol in the picture shown above. Ah, even Collins of India has labelled it as the most satisfying legendary food that the tale of the Pearl of the Orient has to offer. It has a sweet taste which is the perfect dessert after a heavy meal. The combination of brown sugar, coconut milk and red bean enhances its sweetness, giving a very delightful taste for consumers. Aside from that, seeing as the rain had fled from the sky, a chill from the shaved ice is the way to lighten the effects of the blaze of the Sun. Simply satisfying. My 6th time this year at the stall. A fair 8.0 out of 10 for it. No questions asked!

Here's a look at the stall just in case any of you gets lost finding it!

Even the P.C.K. family agrees. No questions asked! =D

Coco-Nuts Over Jelly?
Our third stop of this expedition brings us towards Dato' Keramat where the coconut haven is found. Being relatively unknown to all of them, we set out on a journey to discover this new prospect in our chase towards the ultimate dessert. Let's see, behold, COCONUTS!

Well, not exactly coconuts. Coconuts in a fridge I would say. If you look at the picture in great detail, you will notice that these coconuts in a fridge were not mere coconuts. They were.....!!!!

Tadaa! The first jello to emerge out of the husk courtesy of the now unbroken Brandy! I shall name it........ Flubber 2?!

Well, this is exactly what 3 dollars and 70 cents looks like. Coconut with white flesh around it. Boy does this attract a carnivore like me! But what is so special about this coconut which really makes it so expensive? Let's see it once again!

Yeah, you got it. The flubber! Unlike Robin Williams, this was actually made by :

According to Mr Joez the proprietor, these coconut are grown in Perak and are of the pandan species. To form the jelly, the outer husk of the coconut is initially removed and then roasted in the oven. After a cooling period, they are then placed in the cooler room. During this period, jelly will be formed…definitely a new innovation. He assured us that no additive or artificial chemical is added. The jelly is formed through the hot and cold process.
Thanks to What2See : Best of Penang Food (CK Lam) for the information and various other sites who confirmed it as well.

As the tag said "100% asli", it is kind of innovative how Mr. Joez had come across this idea. However, our Collins still believes its powder. Suit himself. Better still, if it's powder, more diabetes for us! :D. But truly this is one of a kind. You rarely see things like this around in this whole wide world. Flubber 2, unlike its ancestor, is a lot softer, less sticky and certainly edible to men. It has a coconut juice taste to it since it was coconut juice after all. Eating it along with its flesh makes it fairly enjoyable. I must say there might be nothing so special about this, but certainly an exposure that proved to be satisfying for people like us who have found out about this for the first time. I shall give it a 6.8 out of 10!

Oh, and what about Coco being nuts? Well, apparently a certain self-proclaimed Admiral/Coco *You know who you are!* went lost 2 times into the unknown depths of Sungai Pinang and came back with another unidentified being instead *no offense :X*. Instead of being grateful to the one who could not finish it *another you know you are*, he went nuts over it and kept refusing to eat it. Sigh. Such a pity. I guess Admirals already have their own Coco "nuts" to savour, hah?
____________________________________________________________________

To recap the story above. Basically, we went to three great places before the people gave up due to full stomachs. I hope it was hugely satisfactory. If any of the above places seriously inhaled profusely for you guys, then sorry. But anyhow, I certainly enjoyed the whole journey and not just the food.

Okay, I'll stop being so formal. Ah, another success in my food discovery! Destined For Diabetes shall continue with more sugar and fat intake as we return next time on Part Dos! Enjoy! :D

And yes, I know this is a corny post >_<, but w/e xP
End

Special Thanks to Jimmy, Collins, James, Sheng and Soony for coming! =D
