Let Us Make Life Work

Something about Flashlight

2012-02-06T18:21:00.003+08:00

I got this information from Facebook:

Can ELECTRICITY pass through the flashlight of a digital camera to your body? Yes, it is 100% true!

This is a true incidence reported of a boy aged 19, who was studying in 1st year of engineering, who died in Keshvani Hospital, Mumbai. He was admitted in the Hospital as a burned patient.

Reason? This boy had gone to Amravati (a place located in State of Maharashtra) on a study tour, on their return they were waiting at the railway station to catch the train. Many of them started taking pictures of their friends using mobile phones and digital cameras.

One of them complained that, he was unable to capture the full group of friends in one frame in the Digicam. This boy moved away to a distance to get the whole group. He failed to notice that at an angle above his head, 40,000 volts electrical line was passing through.

As soon as he clicked the digital camera, 40,000 volt current passed through the camera flash light to his camera and then from his camera to his fingers and to his body.

All this happened within a fraction of a second. His body was half burned. They arranged for an ambulance and his burned body was brought to Keshavani Hospital, Mumbai. For one and half days, he was conscious and talking. Doctors did not have much hopes as there was a lot of complex issues in his body. He passed away later.

Now, how many of us are aware about these technical threats & dangers? Even if we are, how many of us are adhering? Now should we call ourselves as educated and knowledgeable people?

Chinese New Year's Eve

Happy Chinese New Year's Eve to ALL.

Have a great reunion dinner with your loved ones! =D

Habits That Makes You Sick

2012-01-21T23:57:00.003+08:00

1. Don't sleep enough.

Studies show that sleep too little will cause low levels of leptin (hormone which helps keep appetite under control). A person might overeat the next day if he/she sleeps too little. Production of chemicals in the immune system that defend your body against germs will shut down. Sleep deprivation also can turn up levels of chronic inflammation, which increases the risk for heart attacks, strokes, osteoporosis and etc.

2. Skip breakfast.

There's a high shortage of glucose in your bloodstream after a long night's rest. If you don't eat breakfast and head out the door with low blood sugar, your brains will not operate at full speed as they need steady flow of blood sugar to run effectively. You may also feel less sharp-witted.

3. Don't exercise.

Being idle for the whole day will cause your body converts unused sugar to fats. Fat cells around the waistline produce chemicals that cause insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation, which promotes heart diseases and other conditions. High blood sugar levels damage nerves and blood cells, cause diabetes complications such as blindness and kidney disease.

4. Hold grudges.

Staying angry for a long time is terrible for your health. It raises blood sugar level and blood pressure, damage your heart and produces endothelin (trigger heart attacks by causing plaques in the arteries). Other research has found that intense, sustained anger can actually cause an arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, which can stop your ticker from ticking permanently.

Take good care of yourself folks. Good night. =)

RM200 Book Voucher!

2012-01-18T18:05:00.010+08:00

Got my RM200 book voucher yesterday from the Faculty General Office, courtesy of the government.

Due to Borders' damn-super-awesome promotions, I went to The Gardens' Borders today and spent RM100 book vouchers. For every RM100 book vouchers spent, one is entitled to get a Borders membership card (two supplementary cards provided), a Starbucks tall-sized beverage (it's LIMITED by the way) for FREE! The vouchers can also be used with discounts and promotions.

HOWEVER, the vouchers are NOT applicable for magazines and stationery! Which I wanted to get at the first place. Well, every good thing always has a price to pay. =P

With RM100 book vouchers, I've bought two books:

The Rules of Life (2nd Edition) by Richard Templar, who has written several best selling self-development books. He has 30 years of experience in the business world.

Believe: Creating Unlimited Possibilities in Life (相信：创造生命中的无限可能）by Lee Kim Soon (李金城）, who is a successful Amway businessman.

Not forgetting the Starbucks:

I chose Green Tea Frappuccino Ice Blended! XD

Now I have to think of where and how to spend my next RM100 book voucher. =P

Take care people.

Later!

New Year's Movies

2012-01-04T11:50:00.003+08:00

Watched two awesome movies during the New Year period.

The lives of several couples and singles in New York intertwine over the course of New Year's Eve. It is a heartwarming movie with some great humours in it. The movie teaches us to appreciate people around us and celebrate events together with them. By the way, I just can't understand why the movie has got such a low rating - 5.2/10.

Sherlock Holmes is back! Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson join forces to outwit and bring down their fiercest adversary, Professor Moriarty. Part 2 has more creativity and funny elements compare to Part 1. The rating of the movie is higher than the previous one.

Happy New Year 2012!

2012-01-01T23:05:00.003+08:00

Happy New Year to ALL! Have another great year in 2012! =D

2012 Is Coming!

2011-12-31T13:52:00.007+08:00

The 100th and the last post of the year 2011. Let us welcome the year 2012, but don't forget our goodbyes to the year 2011.

To the year 2011,

I really wish I could hug you before you leave. I've learnt a lot from you. You taught me time waits for no man. You taught me not to waste time in vain. You taught me to appreciate the people around me even more. You taught me to .....

I've completed the first year of bachelor's degree with you. I've got myself involve in Amway business with you. My life have undergone lots of changes with you.

I'll always remember that you have once appeared in my life!

To the year 2012,

How do you do? We are going to be friends starting from tomorrow. I can't wait to learn new things from you. I can't wait to know what surprise and challenges you will give me.

Will you bring me more happiness or sadness? Will you support and give me a hand in my future endeavors? Will you end the world just like the one portrayed in the movie (2012)? Will you.....

Anyway, nice to meet you and hope we can live well with each other.

See you in another 9 hours. =D

New Year's Eve

2011-12-31T13:10:00.004+08:00

Skytrex adventure is cancelled. Only God knows what happened, but I roughly can guess what happened between those who are going.

Sighed. Next time then.

Still have a potluck party tonight! Must enjoy to the max.

Those who have plans for countdown tonight, have a blast!

Happy New Year's eve to ALL.

I Felt Perfect

2011-12-30T10:46:00.003+08:00

Watched Black Swan on my lappy last night before going to bed. All my friends told me the movie is really awesome but I couldn't feel the 'awesomeness' until I have watched it.

'I felt perfect.' The line spoken by Nina Sayers (starred by Natalie Portman) at the end gave me the deepest impression. Not a happy ending but one of the best endings.

I slept at 4am and woke up at 9am. Scenes from the movie keep running in my mind. Zzzz.

Have a great day on the eve of the new year's eve.

What's Your New Year's Eve Plan?

2011-12-30T00:13:00.006+08:00

Going for Skytrex adventure and a potluck party this coming New Year Eve. I think this is my first time joining a potluck party, and I will be preparing jellies!

Really looking forward to it. =D

Happy new year in advance to all of you, and enjoy whatever you have planned to do during the New Year's eve.

Adios.

Merry Xmas!

2011-12-25T22:58:00.003+08:00

Finally back to my home sweet home after 2 weeks of Xmas Caroling in Genting. I'm starting to miss everyone and everything there. Wish to have a chance to carol in Genting again next year!

My body is feeling uncomfortable as it is trying to adapt the KL's weather. I'm feeling that my body is burning on the inside.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to all.

Enjoy the video below made my UTAR students:

Night.

Retour à Genting

2011-12-17T18:01:00.003+08:00

Due to having examination, I travelled back to KL last night. I took my French paper just now at 2pm and I'm currently in Genting already. The paper was pretty OK and I will seriously chop my head off if I do not pass the subject. LOL

I thought we will be late since we have bought the bus ticket (RM9.30) few days earlier, which is at 5pm depart from KL Sentral to Genting Skyway, then only to First World Hotel. The journey is about one and half hour, excluding the time for traffic jam and waiting for the cable car.

Since we want to minimise the possibility of being late for the caroling at 7pm, we decided to finish our papers earlier and asked our friend to fetch us to Titiwangsa bus station. We rushed to the counter and managed to buy 4.30pm bus tickets (RM5.90) which will skip the Skyway and reach straight to the First World Hotel.

We are going back to KL next Monday night for another examination. No more wasting another RM9.30. Wrong decision will always make you become wiser. LOL

I got to go now. Ciao.

Xmas Caroling in Genting

2011-12-10T22:49:00.004+08:00

I'm currently in Room 17765 of First World Hotel. It's been awhile since I last came to Genting.

The purpose of coming here this time is totally different from previous visits - I'm here to work! Thanks to the person who introduce this awesome part time job for me. Accommodation, RM840 for meals and RM1100 salary are provided. XD

Starting from tomorrow, I will be caroling in Genting until Christmas Day. Do visit Genting this two weeks and try to spot me there! =P

Merry Christmas in advance, really advance indeed, to all.

Good night.

Good Good Day

2011-12-05T23:02:00.006+08:00

Study leave have just started. To me it's just like a holiday.
Had an awesome buffet lunch with my classmates.
Did some shopping in Pavillion and bought some discounted goods.
Bumped into friends that I have not seen for quite some time.
Registered the time table that is fairly OK for me.

That really sum up my good day. Good night peeps. =)

Last Study Week

2011-11-27T17:16:00.004+08:00

It's almost the end of the month, but I only just realised I have not written any post for this month.

I'm addicted to Pokemon Black and White version recently. That's why. =P

This week will be the last study week of my short trimester, and there is one assignment left which apparently is the hardest one - photo essay. The topic that I have chosen is the efforts of Pure Life Society in taking care of the welfare of the orphans.

I think I have chosen the wrong topic. Problems come after problems. I'm submitting this assignment in less than one week. GG.

I really don't want to screw this up. God bless me.

ZzzZzz

2011-10-30T20:18:00.004+08:00

Line sucks and I'm not in the mood to write anything. I'll just post some trailers of the movies that I've mentioned in the previous post. If you haven't watched these movies, I guess you should! =D

Night.

A Random Update

2011-10-28T20:54:00.007+08:00

Went to True Fitness for free trial on Wednesday. The trainer was trying to kill me. I felt my muscles were stretching to their maximum. I supposed to rest early that night but I only slept six hours as I had 8am class the next day.

Yesterday played futsal with my classmates in the evening. Another 2-hour vigorous sports. My stamina got depleted easily because I did not have enough rest. I was only able to fall asleep at 2am that night and woke up at 6am.

I really hate morning classes. I guess nobody likes though. SCREW them.

Today, I basically can sleep anywhere. I'm totally worn out. But the movie review organised by UTAR Film Club keeps me awake in the afternoon as they are screening a Thailand horror movie entitled 'Shutter'.

It was really a good movie with creepy scenes and frightening sound effects, but the storyline is a little too predictable. I still prefer 'Don't be Afraid of the Dark'. The child has impressive acting skills and the climax almost took my breath away.

Anyway, I am still craving for 'Real Steel'. Hope to catch the movie soon.

I need more rest now. Good night. =)

Steve Jobs Was Great?

2011-10-21T18:48:00.007+08:00

I read an well-written article by Neeraj Thakur, a columnist from India, in Facebook just now. He thought that the death of Steve Jobs was overrated by the people around the world.

Steve Jobs Wasn't Great; He Wasn't Even Close - by Neeraj Thakur

What makes you great to the world, so much so that you become the ‘greatest’ of your times? Is greatness the title for those who become successful in their respective fields? Or is it that everyone who appears on TV has the chance of attaining greatness? Steve Jobs, who died fighting pancreatic cancer, being showered with so much love and respect raises this question.

While any celebrity has a right to an obituary, posthumous encomiums (pieces of writing that praises Steve highly after his death) by way of comparison with other greats should not happen just because of the bankruptcy of a particular age in producing truly great individuals.

What defines Steve Jobs? The fact that he could make people go crazy about his company’s products?

If marketing is what makes you great, then our Indian politicians are the greatest, because they market themselves so well that even after their failures in one term after another, we keep voting them back to power. If making a new product is what makes you great, then there are many new products being invented everywhere in the world. Yes, the claim to launching the first personal computer goes to Jobs, but he was not behind its invention; he was the chief of the company that invented it. Any man heading the company that has a product to sell can do what he did.

To those who think he revolutionised cell phones, the fact is he just re-packaged his products by mixing up what was already out there in the form of already available gadgets/software like Blackberry, Palm, Windows, etc. A man becomes truly great for humankind and his passing away deserves mass mourning only if he has done something to better the lives of his fellow beings, overcoming personal greed and lust for power.

While all of us take our newborn kids to have ‘Do boond zindagi ki’ (I don't know what this means), to save our kids from the life-crippling polio virus, very few would know why those life drops come for free. There are many other diseases, medication for which does not come even at a reasonable cost, forget having it free.

The man who invented the polio vaccine, Jonas Edward Salk, decided not to patent his invention. After seven years of rigorous research, when he had the chance to become a billionaire, much like Jobs did, he refused to do so. When someone asked him ‘Who owns the patent of the vaccine, he replied, ‘Can anyone patent the sun?’ In civilisation’s history of one individual bettering the lives of fellow humans, can Jobs stand anywhere close to Salk?

Jobs did not even eradicate poverty with the immense wealth he accumulated by selling his so-called great products, invented by scientists who worked in his company. Instead, he rather stopped all philanthropist activity by Apple in 1997, saying philanthropy can ‘wait until we are profitable.’ Today, Apple is one of the world’s most valued companies (sitting on $40 billion cash) and ironically, it is perhaps the only one in its category that has no philanthropic contribution worth talking about.

I don’t own any Apple product, and most Apple aficionados (a person who likes something so much and knows a lot about it) would accuse me of commenting on something that I don’t use. I am not commenting on the products he sold; I am commenting on the tears that are being unjustifiably shed on the death of a rich man. I am not taking anything away from Jobs as an entrepreneur, and the fact is that he was an inspiration for his company. But I find it difficult to accept the belittling of the very notion of greatness by bestowing it on those who worked for themselves and promoted the noxious idea that ‘profit motivates humans’, a theory that would have never given us the polio vaccine.

A really different and brilliant thought. =D

CANCER????

2011-10-20T16:26:00.008+08:00

Most of you might be fooled by the title of this post. It is not the cancer that you have thought just now. I'm not having it and nobody around me is having it neither.

TOUCHWOOD.

What I mean is the fourth astrological sign in the Zodiac. Those who are born between 21 June and 23 July are known as cancerians.

I saw one of my friends wrote this on Facebook just now and I find it so damn accurate for me. It is about the personalities that a cancerian possesses:

巨蟹座

最善良最细心最敏感的星座、最重视亲情、对待爱人无微不至；
敏感，不计较，很重感情；脾气很硬！

巨蟹很需要安全感，很聪明、冷静；
天真，超强的等待力；讨厌虚伪和欺骗，
硬撑 ; 不让别人看见他们的痛苦；外表给人一种孩子气的感觉，但内心却有一种成熟感。

缺乏安全感，点神经质，性格很古怪、让人难以琢磨！

English version: (Sorry if the translation is bad)

Cancer

The kindest, the most attentive and the most sensitive zodiac sign. Family is always their priority and take care of them in every possible way. Not calculative, affectionate and a bad tempered person.

Cancerians need strong sense of security. They are smart, calm, patient and naive. They hate hypocrisy and lies. They hardly reveal their true feelings and sufferings. They seem childish on the surface, but deep inside their hearts there are mature thoughts.

Cancerians could be a little neurotic, a weirdo and unpredictable. ;)

To those who are cancerians out there, *HI FIVE*. LOL

I think the interpretation above missed out the most important characteristic of a cancerian.

Narcissistic. =P

Doomy Days

2011-10-14T13:35:00.004+08:00

I'm so down at the moment. Result had released two days ago. It sucks. It was not as good as I had expected earlier. Did I make careless mistakes terribly? Were my answers not clear and simple enough? Or were my answers could not satisfy the examiners' tastes? I wondered.

I knew result was not everything. Therefore, I should take it easy and try to make changes in order to see a better result the next time. While we can't laugh at the same joke over and over again, we can't be gloomy about bad things over and over again. =)

Having said that, I still felt something was wrong. I wish I could take back my papers and check the mistakes that I've done. I wanted to appeal. Unfortunately, a payment of RM100 is required for the appeal of each unit grade. The fee will be refunded if the appeal is successful and VICE VERSA.

I started to ponder. What kind of system is this? It is totally unfair to the students and this might be one of their business tricks. Is it really difficult to allow students to get back their papers and take some time to discuss? I will write a letter and question them about this matter.

Anyway, I'm ready to move on. Next trimester awaits me! =D

Learn Chinese in 5 Minutes

2011-10-12T11:10:00.003+08:00

I found this funny stuff on Facebook and it took me awhile to figure out the translation.

1. That's not right - Sum Thing Wong
2. Are you harboring a fugitive? - Hu Yu Hai Ding
3. See me ASAP - Kum Hia Nao
4. Stupid man - Dum Fuk
5. Small Horse - Tai Ni Po Ni

10. I thought you were on a diet - Wai Yu Mun Ching
11. This is a tow away zone - No Pah King
12. Our meeting is on next week - Wai Yu Kum Nao
13. Staying out of sight - Lei Ying Lo
14. He's cleaning his automobile - Wa Shing Ka
15. Your body odour is offensive - Yu Stin Ki Pu
16. Great - Fa Kin Su Pah

If you can't figure some of the translation, take a look at the list below. They're actually saying:

1. Something wrong.

Salsa Dance

2011-10-10T16:43:00.003+08:00

Anyone of you are interested in salsa dance?

I'm always interested in learning dances but I've never taken the initiative to sign up for any classes. Laziness really kills.

I also not very sure if I would be committed to learn them once I've signed up. I guess I'll find excuses for myself. =P

Anyway, I saw a video on Facebook yesterday night and found it very very impressing. Two teens rocked the India's Got Talent stage with their stunning moves and expressions. It is the most amazing salsa dance I've watched so far.

I bet they will win the title in the finale. They deserve it. Wish them all the best!

Detox Camp

2011-10-09T13:24:00.011+08:00

Hey peeps, I've just got back from the 3D2N detoxification camp. I went to the washroom for a few times after I reached home. You would put yourself at stake if you happened to use my toilet now. LOL.

Before I went for this camp, my family and friends asked me the same question, "You are so thin, why do you have to go for this kind of camp?" Well, people always think of detox camp is only for those people who are bulky and want to cut down their weights.

As the technology revolves in our rapidly-changing world, we are actually exposed to more pollutants in our environment such as industrial waste, processed food, cigarette smokes and etc. The idea of detoxification is to clear the excessive toxic we've inhaled out of our bodies.

Another benefit of detox is that it helps us to maintain a healthy digestive system. Some people are too thin or too chubby is due to the malfunction of the body mechanism to absorb the nutrients normally. After detoxing, a person is able to gain weight or lose weight easily and healthily.

During the detox period (3-7 days), ONLY vegetable and fruit juice are allowed. Strictly no biting and chewing. Take health supplements such as protein, calcium, vitamin B, C, E and etc to prevent hunger and obtain sufficient nutrients during the period.

There is much more to tell. I can't keep on writing as I want to go for a nap. If anyone out there wants to look young and have a satisfying weight, approach me and I will not mind sharing the info with you.

God of Duke is waiting for me. Ciao.

October

2011-10-02T10:56:00.003+08:00

Time really waits for no man. Another month has just started and I am already in the second week of my semester break.

Been busy keeping in touch with my old friends lately. I've joined a choir team recently and last Friday we made an audition video for a part time job. If we got chosen, we will be carolling in Genting starting from 12th December until Christmas. Meals, accommodation, and salary will be provided! =D

By the way, I will be going a detoxification camp next weekend in Genting. My mum asked me the reason to go for this camp. She thought I am really not suitable for this camp because I'm slim. Well, actually detox camp is good for those want to slim down and gain fat healthily besides clearing the toxic out of your body.

I'm feeling so good in this brand new month!

I don't really know why. At least I know I'm making full use of my holiday by joining fun activities.

Take care peeps. Hope to meet some of you during my semester break.

Back to KL

2011-09-24T22:08:00.008+08:00

Hey, peeps. I'm back! An awesome food trip in Penang and Ipoh.

Places we have visited:

1. Gurney Plaza

Visited the eateries nearby to enjoy various cuisine such as grilled fish, fried oyster omelette, char kuey teow, prawn mees and etc. After dinner, we went to the plaza for awhile to get some groceries.

2. 1st Avenue Mall

It's a newly opened city mall in the heart of Georgetown along Jalan Magazine. The mall spreads over 7 retail levels. The architecture of the building is very modern and stylish.

3. Paradise Sandy Beach

One of the most famous beaches in Penang. Beaches are my favorite. I really enjoyed the breeze and the sound of seawaves.

4. Chew Jetty

The biggest waterfront village in Georgetown. 'Chew' is a famous last name and this means that the entire long stretch of jetty are residents with the surname 'Chew'. A must-visit tourist attraction.

5. Penang Road Cendol Stall

Located in a quite secluded street near Prangin Mall. Well, I think the Melaka one is still the best. =P

6. Penang Hill

The railway system has improved vastly. I remembered taking half an hour to reach the hill and the rail is stuffy. Now, it only takes about 5 minutes and the rail has good ventilation with air conditioner.

7. Kek Lok Si Temple

The largest Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia. Also known as The Temple of Supreme Bliss. We also visited a eatery nearby for the most famous Asam Laksa in Penang.

8. Lou Wong Restaurant

Ate the Ipoh's famous bean sprout chicken and kuey teow here. We also went to the shop nearby to buy local products.

I'm still waiting my friend to upload the photos. Stay tuned for my Facebook! =D

p/s: The image above is my most favorite photo taken during the trip.

Bye, Y1T2. Hello, Penang!

2011-09-21T20:23:00.003+08:00

Year 1 Trimester 2 is officially over. I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Almost-a-month semester break awaits me. =D

Just finished my dinner and currently packing my luggage. In less than 12 hours I will be on my way to 'The Pearl of the Orient'.

I've been missing Penang so much - the food, the beaches and the bitches. (What the hell? LOL)

Will be off for three days and back on 24th September. Guys, don't miss me k! Muacks. =P

Happy Holiday

2011-09-20T14:20:00.003+08:00

I will be officially free after 4pm tomorrow.

Something that I have been looking forward to - HOLIDAY!

All the best to myself and my classmates for the final paper tomorrow!

Snowflake & Penang, wait for me! =D

Presented to you, a cheerful song entitled 'Happy Holiday' by Rachel Liang (梁文音）.

4 Down, 1 More To Go

2011-09-15T15:58:00.010+08:00

Sorry for deserting my blog for quite some time. I am in the middle of an exam period. xD

Four down, one more to go. Last paper on 21st September. Need to wait almost one week. Booooooooring.

After the paper is done, I'm off to Penang for FOOD trip with my classmates. I love food so much. I'm a gourmand. Really looking forward to it. =D

So far all the papers are quite OK. At least they were not as hard as the A-level papers that I'd taken last two years - Maths, Physics, Economics & Further Maths (which I dropped in the end). Pffffffft.

I could say A-level is really a good foundation course for university as it requires student to have critical thinking in various subjects. The bad thing about A-level is it does not have coursework for students to do some hands-on work.

I suffered in the last semester as I couldn't get used to handling assignmentSSS. But things are getting better now and I'm ready for the 3rd semester.

A short semester with 7 weeks. Need to cover up 14 weeks of lectures and tutorials. Classes are doubled up. It's gonna be HARDCORE. LOL

Take care peeps. =)

One Day Trip to Kuala Selangor

2011-09-01T14:15:00.013+08:00

Visited Kuala Selangor yesterday with my mum, sister, aunt and her boyfriend. Together with other families, we were on a tour bus to 'Abode of Sincerity' at around 9a.m.

The first stop of the day. Kuil Buddha Siam. (释迦中心）

My Chinese zodiac! >.<

The huge golden pig! My sister's Chinese zodiac is not pig anyway.

This is her Chinese zodiac, Rabbit.

Mum with her Chinese zodiac golden statue.

Golden dragon statue.

The second destination of our trip. A factory that manufactures bird's nest. Nothing much to see though.

Behind me is a building where they raise swallows and collect their saliva.

The best dish of our lunch, Tom Yam Prawns.

The Bukit Melawati was the next visit, where they are lots of monkeys and macaques. This was the first monkey that I met during the visit.

Troupes of silver leaf monkeys and long-tailed macaques.

Look at the child and the monkey. They were not afraid of each other!

Mum did not hesitate to take a picture with monkeys after she realised that they were harmless. Haha.

A monkey with its baby with vivid orange fur, colloquially known as golden monkey.

Have a closer look. Hundreds of them. @.@

A scenery of Sekinchan village (适耕庄). It was about to rain that time.

Young rice plant.

The weather kinda spoiled the beauty of this picture. =.=

The best dish of our dinner, 'Buddha jumps over the wall' (佛跳墙）. LOL

After the dinner, we went to Sekichan Village Food House which is nearby the restaurant to hunt for local products.

On the way back home. Specky and nerdy-look siblings.

Last camwhore of the day. =P

Sekian, terima kasih.

A Bad Trip on Independence Day

2011-09-01T00:03:00.004+08:00

One of the suckest trip ever. I would rather stay at home.

The tour bus is a crap. A reckless and lost driver. Screw the traffic jam and any other hassles today.

I'm off for a shower now. I will update the good side of the trip in the next day. Stay tuned peeps.

Anyway, I wish that I'm not too late to say Happy 54th Birthday, Malaysia!

Selamat Hari Raya

2011-08-30T22:55:00.004+08:00

Had a great dinner just now with my family in IOI Mall's Sakae Sushi. =P

By the way, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to those who are celebrating the new year! Enjoy your holiday peeps.

I'm going to bed now. Need to wake up at 6am the next day for a family trip to Sekinchan village.

Good night!

Rasa Sayang 2.0

2011-08-26T20:16:00.002+08:00

A nice theme song for the upcoming local movie, Nasi Lemak 2.0:

The movie will be released on 8th September. Unfortunately, I can't watch on that day as I'm having the first paper for my final examinations. Ish.

Anyway, I'll find a right time to watch this movie. =P

I Am Who I Am

2011-08-23T08:36:00.005+08:00

I'm not sure how many of you listen to this song before, but it's a song that truly inspires me.

我有我自己的梦，自己会走，就算再寂寞。
I have my dream and I'll pursue it on my own, even though it means lonelier.

我不怕狂风暴雨，将我淹没，毅然往前走。
I'm determined to move on despite trials and tribulations.

相信我还是我！
I believe I'm still me!

Be yourself, but you can always made changes to become a better person. Believe in yourself, and never stop chasing your dreams.

I wanna retire before the age of 35, that's my dream. It is kinda absurd, but I know it is not impossible.

Guys, all the best.

Mission Accomplished

2011-08-22T20:36:00.005+08:00

I've got a feeling that cannot be described right now. I've completed all my assignments for this semester! Perhaps I could just smile like Obama from the picture above. LOL

Today is a great day. Presentation for English for Mass Communication went well and the last-minute work for Radio Broadcasting assignments turned out to be.... Hmm... not to say very good but it is satisfactory. =D

After the last submission tomorrow, I'm totally done with this semester's coursework.

I'm gonna enjoy for a few days before start doing my revision for final examinations.

Movies, karaoke session, food trip, party and what else?

A lot of plans in my head now. Anyway, I'm off for anime. XD

Catch you later, peeps.

Hater

2011-08-17T19:53:00.008+08:00

The topic for this post is totally random. It just came to my mind suddenly.

How would you feel if a person does not appreciate what he/she has right now?
How would you feel if a person always make a huge deal out of ANYTHING?
How would you feel if a person is a know-it-all and narrow-minded?
How would you feel if a person doesn't believe you when you're telling the truth?
How would you feel if a person always contradict him/herself?

My advice: Don't become a hater. You will find more happiness when you hate less. After all, nobody is perfect.

I hardly hate people. It is not the way I live my life. But if you really want me to, by all means. =)

I'm saying something which contradict my advice. Crap. No wonder some people will hate me. LOL. I think I am too stress lately. I can't even understand what I have just said. Zzzz.

I'd better go to bed now. Good night.

Ganbatte!

2011-08-12T19:52:00.002+08:00

Advertising campaign proposal
Drama production
Commercial production
News production
Group presentation for magazine
Group presentation for the topic 'Euthanasia'

Few more assignments to go, and exams are coming up next.

Jeffrey, stay tough and strong! =)

I'm not really a big fan of Super Junior, but I'm addicted to this song recently.

Ciao.

MV Shooting

2011-08-03T22:24:00.003+08:00

Just back from a music video shooting. I'm totally worn out but I have loads of fun today. I get to play the Garden cafe's white grand piano in The Curve, and it's been awhile since I last went to The Curve. I enjoyed wandering around there. xD

Fortunately, my sickness and sore throat do not get worse today. Thanks to my mum who made a herbal tea for me. Being a talent is never an easy job, but I do get some valuable experiences from being one.

Saw this joke on Facebook and I would like to share it here.

Dad: I want u to marry a girl of my choice.
Son: No!
Dad: The girl is Bill Gates' daughter.
Son: Then ok.

Dad goes to Bill Gates...

Dad: I want your daughter to marry my son.
Bill Gates: No!
Dad: My son is the CEO of the World Bank.
Bill Gates: Then ok.

Dad goes to the President of the World Bank...

Dad: Appoint my son as the CEO of your bank.
President: No!
Dad: He is the son-in-law of Bill Gates.
President: Then ok!

This is BUSINESS!

Good night peeps.

Bloody Night

2011-07-27T09:18:00.004+08:00

Yesterday night was a bloody one. I've made a 'massacre' and my wall is full of blood stains.

Mosquitoes. =.= It was all my blood actually. Zzzzz.

My room door is closed, my window is closed and my toilet door is closed. I really have no idea where they came from.

First, four of them fed on my right side of my body and landed on the wall. I woke up and slammed them hard on the wall. I continued to sleep.

Another few mosquitoes came to 'attack' me. This time, they fed on the left side of my body. I woke up again and killed them on my bed.

Later, one mosquito was buzzing at my ear and .......

The war between me and mosquitoes was a long story. I can't remember how many times I have waken up.

I also had a few nightmares yesterday night. They are all about Radio Broadcasting stuff. WTH. This reminded me about the failure on my DJ presentation. T.T

What an epic night. Now I'm sick. Great.

Failure on DJ Presentation

2011-07-26T21:27:00.006+08:00

Farking screwed up my live DJ presentation today. Feel like choking myself. Haiz.

I thought my cue cards were going to help me during my presentation but I was totally wrong. I dropped my cue cards on the floor in the middle of the presentation and I started to get panic. I did not talk when I am supposed to talk and I accidentally press the 'pause' button, which is totally forbidden during a live DJ presentation.

I stunned for a few seconds before I replayed the track and continue my presentation. Dead Air. I'm so dead. Pffft. Why should I panic with the dropping cue cards when I already knew what I am supposed to talk? Damn it LAH.

I really can't forget myself for doing such a big and careless mistake.

Well, it's no use crying over spilled milk. It's over. What is done is done. Just take it as a lesson and always remember MORE practice make perfect.

I'm exhausted. Time to take some rest before I move on. Nights.

What a Day!

2011-07-22T18:27:00.006+08:00

I have no idea what happened to my lappy's speaker. The sound is soft even I have turned the speaker into maximum volume.

I just got the lappy this year and it started to have a problem already. CRAP.

I shutted down my lappy and lied on my bed. I thought I could take a long, nice nap since I slept only about four hours last two nights. I find it difficult to sleep because the weather is extremely hot.

By the way, I went to Jaya One's Sushi King with my cousin to have lunch and enjoy their Sushi Bonanza promotion. All the rice-based sushi will be RM2 for each plate. I feel really satisfied after eating more than 10 plates of sushi. xD

Also, I had a photoshoot this early morning for my friend's individual assignments. I was required to portray a 'Superman'. She asked me to give her a serious expression and I ended up making constipated look. LOL

It was the first time I entered a studio and became a model. It was tiring but fun. Really had a good experience. Despite the fact that I am not photogenic, I can't wait to see the photos.

You MIGHT see a so-called Superman in Facebook soon. xD

Relay For Life 2011

2011-07-16T14:39:00.005+08:00

I'm looking forward to Relay For Life which will be held in Bangi today at 6pm.

Relay For Life is a 16-hour over-night event, celebrating the lives of cancer survivors as well as to remember the lives of loved ones who have lost the battle. It is a high-spirited event where everyone in the community can join in the fight against cancer. It is a day filled with fun, comradeship and festivities.

It is also a time when people you know and people you don’t know team up to raise public awareness about cancer in the community. Throughout the duration of the event, individuals, survivors, teams, companies, schools will take turns to walk the track to relay the message of cancer. Non-stop. From dusk till dawn.

I'm done preparing and going out soon. Adios guys!

Absent-mindedness kills

2011-07-14T16:37:00.004+08:00

I lost something important. I can blame no one but myself.

My absent-mindedness never seems to improve. Always forget this and that. That is why I hardly score in reading subjects like History because my memory has never been good.

I always believe in karma. Maybe it is behind all the bad lucks that I have encountered these few days.

Jeffrey, please stop it. I said blame no one, and nothing.

I'd better continue to work on my assignments. Next few weeks are going to be gruelling for me.

Bye.

Bersih

2011-07-09T13:02:00.005+08:00

There will be an exceptionally huge turnout today.

Many Malaysians are looking forward to Bersih 2.0 Rally, organised by Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections. It is supported by Pakatan Rakyat, the coalition of the three largest opposition parties in Malaysia but has been deemed illegal by the government.

Bar Council Ambiga Sreenevasan demanded that the Election Commission of Malaysia (EC) to clean up the electoral roll, reform postal voting, use indelible ink, introduce a minimum 21-day campaign period, allow all parties free access to the media, strengthen public institutions, stop corruption and dirty policies.

The government is surely getting paranoid. Or rather fearful? The Walk for Democracy simply call for free and fair elections, that's all. If the government is doing all it could to stop this rally, (like shutting down the roads?) it only shows that they do not care for the rights of the citizens.

Wanna call Malaysia a democratic country? Totally nonsense!

Some people think the rally is troublesome and ruined their weekends. Think again! If Bersih ruined your weekends, let's see how you weekends would be with the wrong government. Malaysians, it's time to wake up. Stop being ignorant. Know what is happening around the country and start being a responsible citizen.

Know your Right! Fight for Justice!

'People should not be afraid of their governments, the governments should be afraid of their people.' - V for Vendetta

Distrust

2011-07-08T16:43:00.005+08:00

I am sorry for I have done today, but I seriously did not lie.

I am not that kind of person that will fake or use 'cheap' ways to get something done quickly.

The words are grating on my ears, really. Instead of fighting back, I keep quiet. There is no point arguing and making you to trust me when you have presumed that I am faking.

If you guys are making jokes, I will take it. If it is not, then I am disappointed that you guys do not believe in me after being close friends for quite some time.

By the way, I don't roar does not mean I don't know how to.

Appreciative and Understanding

2011-07-06T09:38:00.004+08:00

I had an insomnia yesterday night.

Hurtful words keep running in my mind.

I used to listening calm music to keep my negative moods away. It works for me all the time.

But this time it doesn't.

Despite being too emotional lately, I feel much better now. Thanks to a friend who posted this on his Facebook status:

"Father always have good intentions on their children no matter how bad it looks from the surface, all we need to do is just sit down and look, look very precisely. Do not be blinded by anger and temper. In the end u will regret when u miss the chance to be appreciative, be understanding."

Of course, the highlighted statements doesn't only apply to your fathers, but to everyone around you - loved ones.

President's list is my aim for this trimester, NOTHING is going to affect me. I will be strong. God bless me.

Take care everyone.

Neck Sprain

2011-07-04T21:56:00.006+08:00

Accidentally sprained the left side of my neck during the sleep last night.

The pain on my neck is killing me. I'm moving like a robot today.

Nevertheless, today is still a good day for me.

Despite the extreme pain on my neck, I laugh really hard and loud for all the funny things that happened today, especially during the recording session in the radio broadcast laboratory.

Our suspense drama has suddenly turned into a comedy! Thanks to all the talented and humorous voice actors/actresses in my group. Haha.

You all make my day when I'm suppose to have a bad one. Really appreciate it.

Good night. =)

A New Month

2011-07-01T20:30:00.003+08:00

'Huh, today is the 1st day of July already?'

I monologued as I looked at the calendar.

Made an introspection for myself. I realised I wasted a lot of time on entertainment in the last month. Low-quality and unproductive work is produced for all the assignments.

I'm gonna make a plan for July and make sure I will achieve what I have planned. Let us walk the talk.

Determination. That is the key.

'He who fails to plan, plans to fail.'

Transformer 3

2011-06-30T17:08:00.003+08:00

I'm going to watch Transformer 3 with my classmates in Berjaya Times Square, at 9.30pm tonight.

Dark of the Moon. Really looking forward to it. =D

Some said that the movie was not really nice for them. Hmmm. Perhaps their expectations are way too high.

I don't care. I just want to enjoy myself tonight and forget about assignments, assignments and assignments.

Dear assignments, I'm sorry that I won't be able to date you tonight. Bye for now. =P

The Day Where My Mum Suffered

2011-06-29T12:44:00.008+08:00

Have you ever wondered what does your birthday mean to you?

To me, my big day is equivalent to my mum's suffering day. It is a day where you mum screamed in pain before you came to this world. Therefore, when it comes to your birthday, please give your mum a big hug and say 'I Love You'.

Mum, thanks for everything. I love you. ^.^

I would like to thank my classmates for having a birthday celebration for me yesterday. Although I got 'bullied' by them, but I still enjoy spending time with them very very much. They are really awesome people. I found it hard to describe how great the chemistry is between us.

Not forgetting to thank all my friends who 'flooded' my Facebook's wall with all the birthday wishes, and those who send me text messages. There is one friend whom I would like to thank especially because he gave me a big birthday surprise. He learnt guitar just to play a birthday song for me!

I really have a wonderful day on my 20th birthday. I will always remember the day. I love all of you very much. =)

Last Day of Being 19

2011-06-27T21:33:00.004+08:00

In the blink of an eye, I have actually lived as a homo sapiens for almost 20 years. Wow.

Can't think of what to say right now. Just back from university and I'm really worn out. All the lectures have been cancelled today and I went out for a karaoke session with my classmates. For me, university life is just about having fun. LOL

Starting from tomorrow, my age will start with digit '2'. No matter how unwilling I am to let this happen, I will still become a 20-year-old young man tomorrow. Age is something that always goes up, but never comes down. Life moves on.

Things that I going to do now before turning 20:

1. Pray. To thank God who have brought my life this far.
2. Tell the loved ones that I really love them.
3. Take a portrait of myself. Haha.
4. Forget the unhappy things and cherish the good ones.
5. Sleep early! (I don't want to look awful on my big day. LOL)

Good night. =)

New Template!

2011-06-26T12:39:00.003+08:00

Presented to you, the new design of my blog!

I do not know why I have the sudden urge to change my blog's design. Anyway, just let it be. Maybe I think my previous blog design is kind of dull with black colour. Blue colour has made my blog look fresh, hasn't it?

By the way, I did not have a good sleep last night. I was only able to sleep at 3am last night and I woke up at 8am today.

Something is really bothering me, badly.

I'm going to take my 'siesta' now. Tata.

A Torturing Laugh

2011-06-25T21:44:00.006+08:00

Kids are so creative and humorous nowadays. We were in our mum's car when my sister told me a joke.

A nanny has a pet, a puppy whom she named 'Nene' (in Cantonese means woman's breasts). One day, the nanny goes out to the town and left her puppy at home. A thieve breaks into the house to steal her property.

The thieve searches everywhere and he can find nothing valuable in the house. He gets angry and tears nanny's clothes. The puppy sees the thieves and attempts to bite him. The thieve chokes the puppy to death. Then, he drinks the milk from the fridge before he leaves.

When the nanny reaches home, she was shocked and called the police immediately. On the phone, she said:

"Hello, police? Somebody tore my clothes, squeezed my 'Nene' and drank my milk!"

*Roll on the floor laughing*

My stomach was really full when I heard this joke. It was torturing to laugh that time because I had a stomachache and had the feeling of throwing up.

Tantrum

2011-06-25T17:22:00.008+08:00

I'm throwing a tantrum just like a kid right now.

Two words for today: Fxxx up!

I feel that the whole world is turning against me today. FML.

The world and people are constantly changing. The only solution is to get used to it, but not complaining over things and being a foolish fool.

I'm having dinner with my family in Kikyo Japanese Buffet Restaurant tonight, which is located in Bandar Puteri Puchong.

The dinner is meant to celebrate my birthday which is coming up next week. I hope being a gourmand tonight can make me forget about the hassles that I have encountered today.

Take care guys. Ciao.

Adele

2011-06-25T01:11:00.003+08:00

I am currently in love with Adele, who is an English singer cum songwriter. Her live performances are very impressive.

Good night. =)

@.@

2011-06-24T10:49:00.006+08:00

I'm super duper freaking tired, mentally.

Everything is not going well for me. I feel stressed up when I saw others have done a lot of progress for their assignments.

I really really wish I have a good sleep right now.

Zzzzz.

Ops, it is 10.55am now and I am having a dicussion meeting at 11am. No time even for a short break.

Bye.

UTAR Film Festival

2011-06-20T21:03:00.007+08:00

I attended the UTAR Film Festival last Saturday. It was a splendid event except the sound system went out of control a little and the emcees should have more spontaneous response.

The event kicked off with the movie review. Two local films were played during the screening, i.e. Sini Ada Hantu directed by James Lee and The Bloody Fish directed by Dick Chua. The former one was hilarious and frightened some of the audience whereas the latter was mind-blowing and create uneasy feelings of the viewers.

What I like the most is the personalities of the local directors. During an interview and sharing session with James Lee and Dick Chua, their answers to our questions were useful in the sense that they increased our knowledge about film industry in local and oversea. I was impressed by their perseverance and creativity in producing films.

Not forgetting a young and good looking actor/director, Teddy Chin, who is also one of the important guests for the event. He studied, acted and was a host in Taiwan before he came back to Malaysia a month ago. He has got a friendly personality but there was something I did not like about him - his words were rather offensive to the audience.

After the film festival, I went to Subang Jaya's Snowflake and Asia Cafe with my classmates to 'heal' our gluttonous stomachs. That was the best part of the day.

Presented to you, the Snowflake Gang. LOL

Thinking

2011-06-14T13:26:00.006+08:00

Quote of the day:

'Thinking is hard, but there is no substitute to it.'

Posted this quote randomly. Anyway, today is my mum's big day. Happy Birthday to her!

Wish her stay pretty and always in the pink of health.

Another two weeks of today is going to be my big day.

*Ahem* (Coughing) Please take note of that, it's VERY IMPORTANT. =P

Adios. I love all of you very much. (Yes, I'm going nuts today. LOL)

If Your Mum Is On Facebook

2011-06-11T09:43:00.002+08:00

This is so damn FUNNY! Luckily my mum does not always check on me even though she has a Facebook account.

She'd better not read this blog post too, hopefully. =P

Random

2011-06-09T19:52:00.002+08:00

I would like to say 10 random things about me. If you are not interested to know, kindly press Alt + F4. LOL

1. I hate my time table so much. Thanks to UTAR.
2. I want to remove the scars on my face so DAMN badly!
3. I'm going to take MUET in mid October.
4. A pile of assignments is killing me, AGAIN!
5. I'm addicted to vegetarian food recently.
6. My new favorite quote: Impossible is nothing.
7. I hate Facebook, but still play all the time.
8. I have no idea when am I going to take Japanese class.
9. I've learnt piano before, but have low musical intelligence.
10. I like it when the people around me are happy. =D

Thank you for reading. Ciao.

Bad Day

2011-06-01T18:46:00.005+08:00

I am not supposed to attend any class on Wednesday because I have arranged my time table well.

There is a so-called career talk today at 2.30pm. I am 'forced' to attend this event because it is compulsory for everyone and attendance will be taken by our lecturer.

Few hours before the talk, I played badminton with my classmates and I sprained my left leg, AGAIN. I thought it has fully recovered since last week. I shall visit the chiropractor (铁打) tomorrow morning.

Professor Terence Lee, who is from Murdoch University and have stayed in Australia for 16 years, was the speaker of the talk. He finished his talk in less than an hour and I did not really understand what is he talking about. Although he has great proficiency in his English, but he could not make me interested in his talk.

On the way back home, I got scolded by my mother for nothing.

Screw this 'awesome' day. Nights.

2nd Trimester

2011-05-31T18:03:00.005+08:00

New semester just started yesterday and I have attended three lectures so far.

The lecturers are talking mostly about individual and group assignments. Later, we were asked to get into the groups of five or six. The worst thing about grouping is you cannot choose your own group members. The lecturers will assign you to a particular group instead.

We have a 'lucky draw' session today. Each of our names is written on a small piece of paper, folded and drawn by the lecturer. Our hearts were trembling as the lecturer read our names one by one. The reactions of my classmates are really interesting to watch. LOL

Luckily, so far all my group members are fine. They are those who I can work well with.

All the best to myself in this new semester! Adios.

Movie Marathon

2011-05-27T15:20:00.004+08:00

I have spent lots of money on movies recently. This is the craziest month indeed for me.

Source Code
Thor
Fast & Furious 5
Pirates of the Caribbean 4
Priest
Insidious

I can't believe that I have watched so many movies in a month. Imagine how broke I am now.

Another one is coming up next: Kung Fu Panda! (Despite my 'brokeness'. LOL)

Seven movies in a month. I have broken the record of my life. LOL

Dean's List!

2011-05-26T15:51:00.010+08:00

I could not believe when my friend told me I was in the Dean's List.

Dean's List is the academic achievement where a student scores 3.5 above for their Grade Point Average (GPA). If a student scores 3.7 above, he or she will be in the President's List.

I think you can roughly guess my GPA. It is in between Dean's List and President's List. =P

I am indeed very happy because the result is much much better than I have expected. I think it is worth a celebration huh?

I will continue to work hard in my following semesters to maintain my CGPA.

Aza aza fighting, Jeffrey!

Forget Past, Look Forward

2011-05-25T11:52:00.008+08:00

It was the beginning of a new semester, a young teacher was assigned to become the class teacher of 26 students. After introducing herself, she asked the students a question with three choices.

Question: If you are asked to choose ONE from three personalities below, who do you think it is the most suitable candidate for a leader?

A. Unethical businessman, has two mistress, superstitious, heavy smoker and drinker
B. Always got fired from jobs, slacker, drug addict and heavy whiskey drinker
C. Patriotic, vegetarian, artistic, crime free, non-smoker and light drinker

Without any hesitation, every student in the class chose C as his/her favourable leader. What about you?

It is common if everyone chooses C because he/she fulfills the standard judgement, but we always look things on the surface only. Well, do you have any idea who are these three personalities?

A. Franklin D. Roosevelt - 32nd President of United States
B. Winston Churchill - Ex-Prime Minister of United Kingdom
C. Adolf Hitler - leader of fascism in Europe and World War II

The students were shocked after hearing what the teacher had told them. (I guess you are, too. =P)

The moral of this story: The past is not important. As long as you do not give up, you still have the control over your present and future. From now on, just do whatever you should, you will be yet wiser and become a talent with high calibre.

Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry

Try out the tongue twisters below. I am sure you will improve your pronunciations tremendously if you managed to say them quick and without any mistake.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?
If Peter Piper Picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
I'm sure she sells seashore shells.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
And chuck as much as a woodchuck would
If a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Have fun 'picking', 'selling' and 'chucking'! LOL

Last Week of Sem Break

2011-05-23T18:01:00.005+08:00

Today I refreshed the UTAR Portal page, anxiously, for a dozen times.

Some of my friends said the final examination result for the first semester will be out today at 12pm. It is 6.30pm now and the result is not out yet.

Friends, please do not scare the hell out of me. You guys also have to understand the efficiency level of UTAR. LOL

Well, I guess I just have to wait until someone post at Facebook's wall that the result is released.

I want to enjoy the last week of semester break. Result please GO DAI and do not ruin my holiday mood please!

3.8 GPA

2011-05-20T09:36:00.004+08:00

I have had a dream yesterday night and I still can remember it.

I dreamt that I score 3.8 GPA for my first semester.

I know is IMPOSSIBLE but how I wish it were true. T.T

Result is coming out very soon. I cross my fingers and wish myself the best of luck.

I will be damn freaking happy if I can score 3.0 GPA or above. It is because I have expected my GPA will be lower than 2.5 for this semester.

God bless me!

10 Advices from Bill Gates

2011-05-19T12:46:00.005+08:00

Before retiring in July 2008, the best-known and one of the richest entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution give 10 advices to the young people, especially the high school students. I believe if you adhere to his advices, you are most likely to be successful in your future endeavors.

Life is not fair - get used to it.

The world is never fair. You know this? You can never change the whole world. Injustice still exists in the current society, so you should try to adapt.

The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Your extreme self-esteem may make your job inconvenient. Don't attach too much significance on your self-esteem as people care about your achievements rather than it.

You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with car phone, until you earn both.

Normally you can't be rich if you have just finished high school. However to become an executive, you need to obtain both: a high school certificate and the money.

If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.

If you have thought that all your problems really come from the hard requirements of your teachers, you shouldn't look for a job. Simply if there aren't strict demands from your company, you will do nothing and quickly become unemployed. Then nobody will give you a hand.

If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Don't blame your failure on your destiny. All you need now is to stay calm and start from scratch.

Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are.

You should show your gratefulness to your parents for spending most of their lives for your living and growth. All the “outdated” of your parents today is the price they have to pay for your growth.

In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Keep in mind that you can always become a leader, so that you will have more motivation to strive for your career.

Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself.

Don’t always wait for holidays or you will be left behind your colleagues. That backwardness means elimination and unemployment.

Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Everybody likes watching TV, but you shouldn't watch it too much. As that actually isn't your life and your thinking will be influenced. You yourself have to determine your own life.

Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

You should be nice to everyone. Life has happenings you could never expect. Be open to your boss, don’t say bad things behind his back as it will bring you nowhere.

2011-05-10T22:23:00.006+08:00

Hey guys, I got so addicted with this game recently.

www.isketch.net

Just enter any room you like. Each room can fit maximum 10 people. Each player in the room will take turn to draw a word on the board using the tools given, while others will try to guess the word.

The first player who type the word correctly will get 10 points, the second player will get 9 points, the third player will get 8 points and so on. Artists accrue points for every correct guess within the grace period.

At the end of the game, which is after 10 rounds, the player with the highest score is the winner.

No matter how sucky is your drawing, the people there still can guess the word correctly. In this game, you can also let your imaginations go wild and learn more vocabulary.

Hope you guys can enjoy this game as much as i do. =)

Nightmares

2011-05-09T09:39:00.003+08:00

I had nightmares yesterday night and I am still not able to 'calm' myself. LOL

First, I saw that I was doing my Multimedia Design paper in an exam hall. When the time is up, there are four pages of questions I have not attempted!

I saw ALL the subjects that I had taken in the first semester have FAILED! One of my lecturers was marking our papers right in front of me and he failed all the students' papers. @.@

Also, I was sexually assaulted by many unknown people in my dream. =.=

What the fark. Zzzz.

End of 1st Semester

2011-05-07T12:53:00.005+08:00

Finished the last examination paper today, Psychology. It was tough but thank God the final examinations are over! Score or don't score, I don't care. Just take a good rest and enjoy first.

Well, this also marked the end of the first semester. Finally! I have been looking forward to my three weeks holiday since I feel frustrated with the gruelling assignments.

I am so going to make full use of my holiday and start planning on what to do. Movies are definitely on my first list - Rio, Fast and Furious 5, Thor, Kung Fu Panda and Pirates of the Carribean. Sitcom/Drama as well - Glee, How I Met Your Mother, Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) and etc.

I will also read a lot during the holidays to improve my English skills because I will be taking English for Mass Communication (EMC) and Radio Broadcasting for the next semester. I heard from seniors these subjects are much tougher than English Vocabulary. *Faint* Study during the holiday sounds abnormal to most of you but I guess it is for my own good. =)

I am going out soon, with my classmates for movies, steamboat dinner and a casual party! I guess I have plenty dates to handle as well during the holiday. LOL.

What Are Words?

2011-05-04T21:27:00.003+08:00

Another video that touches my heart. A true love from a true man. His fiancée has got brain damage. He never abandon her and always stay by her side when she needed him the most. I feel sorry for her, but she is the most blissful woman in the world.

Presented to you What Are Words - by Chris Medina.

American Idol 2011 Audition - Chris Medina

He is ALREADY the Champion of American Idol 2011. =)

Screw Up.

2011-04-29T22:21:00.006+08:00

Screwed up my Broadcasting paper today. I have wasted the coursework mark which I have put a lot of effort to obtain it.

I am really disappointed and I cannot forgive myself for making silly mistakes during the exams.

I have studied what has come out but I was not able to perform well due to a 'jam' in my brain. I gave many wrong answers because I did not interpret the questions accurately.

Lesson of the day: Do not cram everything into your head right before your exams!

One down, four more papers to go. I should not recall the past mistakes but to move on with the rest of the papers.

AZA AZA Fighting!

Good night.

New Sucky Hair

2011-04-27T11:43:00.004+08:00

Hey peeps, I got myself a haircut before the final exams tomorrow.

What do you think? Sucky + nerdy + ugly right? xD

Just want to tell you all that I hate leaving my hair long. Maybe it is because I get used to having short hair, and it is also difficult for me to tidy my type of hair.

Anyway, these few days I have been dating with books. Yes, FACEBOOK. I'm digging my own grave for my final exams. Zzzz.

I'd better start to do my revision now. Ciao.

Ended?

2011-04-22T15:56:00.003+08:00

I have handed in my Multimedia Design assignments yesterday and it signifies the end of this grueling semester. I hope all my coursework marks are fine.

Finally can get some good rest, but not for long. Final exams are coming next week. There is so much to study but I think I should not complain on that because it is UNIVERSITY life.

Dear exams, please end as fast as possible. I want to enjoy my three weeks holiday.

I'm off to dinner now and I am having a date after that, with books. Bye.

Rush!

2011-04-17T20:27:00.003+08:00

I do not really like to do things quickly but I guess I have no choice.

These few days I have been rushing the radio assignment with my group members. We have to submit it on Tuesday but there are still many things we have not done. Pfffft.

Because of radio assignment, I have not 'touched' my website design for almost one week already and it needs to be submitted on next Thursday. I'm totally in deep shxt.

The worst thing is, final exams start on 28th April 2010 and the first paper is Pengajian Malaysia.

God, please save my soul! TQ.

Three More to Go.

2011-04-07T11:16:00.002+08:00

Three more assignments to go for this semester.

30-minute oral presentation
Design a radio station
Design a website for a fictional company

Don't ever look down on these coursework because it is still killing me for the meantime.

I am not giving up and I will make sure the assignments will leave me alone very soon.

AZA AZA FIGHTING!

Theatrical Performance.

2011-04-06T23:48:00.007+08:00

I have handed in my English Vocabulary assignments yesterday and done my theatrical performance for my scripted dialogue this morning.

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Hard work really paid off this time. My lecturer praised for our excellent performances and he said he was impressed with our acting skills. I was playing a role as a notorious son in a dysfunctional family, whereas two friends of mine are playing as a workaholic mother and a grandmother respectively.

I was really into the character when I quarreled with my 'mother' in the play. My whole face and neck turned red and I almost broke down after my 'mother' slapped me. I tried to make my tears out but I have failed to do so. =P Anyway, I am glad that we have given our best during the performance.

I am looking forward to more acting performances in the future. I really have no regrets taking Broadcasting as my degree course.

Adios. =)

Contact Lenses.

2011-04-01T21:45:00.003+08:00

I will be getting my first contact lenses tomorrow.

I used to be very excited about wearing contact lenses. I always want to know how does it feel to wear contact lenses. Despite of that, the feeling of excitement has come to a halt.

Since my astigmatism is high, my contact lenses have to be custom-made and therefore the price has doubled up. I have to pay RM240 instead of RM120 for 6 months! Although my mother is paying for it, but I feel the pain and feel like wasting my parents' money.

I want to wear contact lenses is not mainly because I want to become more good-looking, but to wear them during sports activities and for acting in a film. I will be acting in a short film for seniors' final year project and they asked me not to wear spectacles.

All of you will be seeing me soon, without spectacles. Good night, peeps.

Ice Skating.

2011-03-28T19:57:00.003+08:00

Have anyone of you ice-skated before?

I went to ice skating with my cousin, who used to be a figure skating coach, in Sunway Pyramid yesterday. It has been years since I last ice-skated. The last time I skated is when I was seven years old, accompanied by my cousin and he was 18 years old that time.

Even though my hands were tied with my assignments yesterday, I really missed the feeling of skating on the ice. Therefore, I decided to put my assignments aside first and went to ice skating with my cousin.

He taught me the basic skills for skating but I was not able to master in due to the shape of my legs. He asked me to straighten my legs and make a 'V' shape using my legs. I could not do it because my legs were experiencing a mild 'rickets'. Well, I do not complain because I am grateful that I have legs to move about. =)

Since I could not perform the basic skills, I just skated without them straight away. My cousin said that my balance was good (at least I did not fall even once!) and he had never taught a student who was able to skate without the learning the basics. Should I be proud of it? Haha.

Got to go now. Ciao peeps.

Last day for Enjoyment?

2011-03-26T00:14:00.005+08:00

This is what I thought at the first place: today is the last day to enjoy myself before I start a war against my assignments.

Most of us skip the Pengajian Malaysia lecture today and we go to Greenbox for Sing K session. We really sing our lungs out like nobody's business. With the accompaniment of my 'insane' classmates, this is one of the best karaoke sessions I have ever had.

My voice is gone after singing five rock/pop songs because I just shout all the way. If you want to hear a sexy voice right now, you can call me. LOL

After the session, I part with my course-mates and I go to meet my SS gang for dinner. We are having a birthday celebration for one of our members today. During the dinner, we talked about memories of secondary school, future endeavors and even movies! They mentioned 'World Vision: Battle Los Angeles' is an awesome movie.

Perhaps I will take a break for a movie despite dealing with my assignments. =P

Long Lost Relatives.

2011-03-22T23:38:00.005+08:00

How does it feel to reunite with your relatives whom you had lost contact for almost 14 years?

The answer is indescribable.

I still can recognise their faces despite the fact that the last time I met them is when I was six years old. I chatted with them in Facebook just now and they said they are coming to visit us on this weekends. I am really looking forward to it.

It is truly a blessing that they are doing more than great all these years.

I got to go now. Good night, folks.

We're Nothing.

2011-03-19T20:39:00.004+08:00

Artist: Namewee and Karen Kong featuring Dennis Lau (Violinist)
Songwriter: Namewee and Fred Chong
Arranger: Namewee

For those ignorant people of the world,

We're nothing at all, we've got nothing at all,
When you're trying hard to become the King of the world.
We're nothing at all, we've got nothing at all,
Can't you see that we're only hurting this world?

For those whom I/you love,

Can I catch my breath before I say 'I love you'?
Can we kiss again under the poison rainfall?
Can I hold you tight until tomorrow?
Or tomorrow, there'll never be tomorrow.

I could not control my tears while I was watching this video.

Namewee, thanks for making this awesome video. Not only the Malaysians are proud of you, but the entire human race. I hope this video can impact the people around the world greatly.

People, it is time to wake up!

Fatigue.

2011-03-18T20:19:00.005+08:00

There is no other word to describe what I am experiencing now except fatigue. Staying back in university everyday until 7pm or 8pm has become a routine for me. Life in UTAR is not something that a normal human being has to go through. LOL

I have submitted my portfolio for scripted dialogue and done my Pengajian Malaysia presentation today. The presentation is awful because I am not prepared and my spoken Malay is not fluent. It has been awhile since I last spoken Malay!

After the presentation, I have a shooting for my 20-second personal video. In the video, I want to portray myself as a very indecisive person. I do not think my video is good but at least I have completed it.

I'm really exhausted. I have not started working on my website yet and there is so much more to do for English Vocabulary. Oh lord, let me have the strength and determination to pass through this semester.

I going to get some rest before I can continue to move on.

Adios, peeps.

Hard Times.

2011-03-13T08:14:00.004+08:00

I have hard times completing my assignments on time.
I have hard times being proficient in English language.
I have hard times meeting the expectations of the lecturers.
I have hard times shooting and editing videos.
I have hard times learning how to use CS softwares.
I have hard times designing website using Dreamweaver.
I have hard times doing revision for mid-term exams.
I have hard times managing my time well.
I have hard times.....

I am sure after I have gone through the hard times, I will be yet wiser. I know I can do it. All the best to myself.

Have a great day peeps! =)

Shooting.

2011-03-05T20:23:00.005+08:00

Just back from documentary shooting. What a weary day. But it is all worth it. I have fun today and gain lots of valuable experience.

HELP College is the first stop of the day. We manage to interview one local Chinese and four foreign students from Japan, Vietnam, Iran and Nigeria respectively. Despite having hard times in catching their accents, it is still pretty cool to interview them. At least we know what they think about the ethnics in Malaysia.

Suddenly feel like going to HELP college because I love the environment there and there are so many exposures that one can gain while studying there. But money talks. No money no talk. It is really expensive for me to study there though. Also, I don't feel like leaving UTAR because I have met cool lecturers and awesome friends.

KLCC is next after HELP College. We interview one Indonesian and one Malay, both of them are working as sales assistants. After that, We have our lunch at 4pm. Wangsa Maju is the last stop before we call it a day. I called a Malay guy, who is a friend of mine, last minute for the interview but he is still able to make it. Really appreciate that!

I'm exhausted. Good night peeps.

Going-to-explode.

2011-03-01T23:51:00.003+08:00

I know the picture is kinda scary, but that is how am I going to look soon - 'going-to-explode' expression.

English Vocabulary assignments are killing me. There is just too much to do. I'm going to submit them in two more weeks but I did not even finish up more than 40 percent.

I don't know how long I can take this.

I hope my group members will cooperate with me as much as possible. I don't want to delay the assignments until the eleventh hour. Otherwise, we will have to suffer a lot of sleepless nights.

I know most of you are busy with other assignments, society's work and etc. So am I. Everyone has 24 hours and I am sure you can manage your time better.

Good night and take care. All the best peeps.

Busy Weekend

2011-02-28T08:26:00.009+08:00

Today is the last day of February 2011. No matter what I must fit in another post for this month. Haha.

I had another bad dream last night. I dreamed that all my friends have abandoned me. I was all alone standing in a quiet street. I was like SO DAMN SAD in the dream. Zzzz.

Friends, please do not leave me no matter what happen. All of you are so important and mean so much to me. I love you with all my heart. Oh my god, that sounds gay and I am being so sentimental today. =X

I got a nice quote to share with you - my dear friends. =D

“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.”

By the way, I am very satisfied with how I spend my last weekend. I had a nice haircut, I had fun time shopping with family, I had great time celebrating uncle's birthday, I had a good rest, I had free time to watch TV programmes, I had ..... but above all, I had done a lot for my assignments!

This is the kind of the weekend that I want to have every week. =)

Drive Safely.

2011-02-26T16:35:00.008+08:00

My uncle had a car accident this early morning. Despite the car had turned over and damaged badly, thank God he was alright. He got his left hand bandaged in a hospital and was discharged immediately.

He was trying to avoid a motorcyclist who came out abruptly from nowhere. However, his car wouldn't have turned over if he had not sped. Lesson to all of you: Drive safely, life is precious.

Before you do anything, just use at least 10 seconds to think of your family. I am sure everything will be alright. =)

I have an interesting and thoughtful video to share here:

Good night peeps.

Happy + Sad = ?

2011-02-25T23:57:00.005+08:00

Today is supposed to be a happy day.

My broadcasting lecturer who has high expectation on us, has finally approved our broadcasting assignment proposal, which I have struggled with my group members for three weeks already. We are going to interview people and do shooting for a documentary. We have been thinking the questions that can satisfy our lecturer's 'taste'. LOL

You have no idea how I feel today. It's like I can finally take a nice breath. I am able to stay awake for classes despite sleeping average 5 hours a day. Also, I have a camwhore session with my classmates today. Doing all the crazy stuff and pose in front of the camera has made us burst into laughters!

Unfortunately, something bad just happened. Having said that, I wish to keep it myself unless I can find someone whom I am comfortable to talk to. Some things are meant to keep inside your heart, instead of revealing it to your family and friends.

But there is one thing that I would like to say,

FORGIVE ME FOR WHO I AM. (原谅我是这样的人)

I hope I can get a nice sleep tonight. Good night peeps.

No Shouting.

2011-02-20T12:26:00.005+08:00

Once a professor asked his students: "Why do we shout in anger?" Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?" The students thought for awhile before one of them said : "We shout because we lose our calm."

"But why shout when the other person is just next to you? Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice?"

The students gave various answers, none of which satisfied the professor.

Finally he explained: "When two people are angry with each other, their hearts distance. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance."

Then he asked: "What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly. Why? Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is very small."

"When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak - they only whisper and get closer to each other in their love.

"Finally they do not even need to whisper. They only look at each other, that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other."

So, when you argue, do not let your hearts get distant or say words that distance each other even more, or there may come a day when the distance is so great you will not find the path back to each other.

What Women Want.

2011-02-19T16:21:00.006+08:00

I'm giving myself a break tonight. I am going to watch this movie.

I hardly have time to watch movie nowadays, so I hope the movie will not disappoint me.

Perhaps I can read a woman's mind after I have watched this movie. =P

p/s : Click on the 'full screen' button for a better view of the trailer.

Will Never Get It Done.

2011-02-18T18:37:00.002+08:00

This week is the 5th week of my semester.

The checklist of my assignments:

A 20-second video about my personality - Not done
A 8-minute video about racism - In the progress

Communicative English essay 1 - Done
Multimedia website design proposal - Done
A folio on any psychology topic - Not done

Mid term examination is coming on the 8th week. God bless me.

Am I Too Stress?

2011-02-17T10:09:00.002+08:00

I think I have had a very bad dream last night.

This long and weird dream is mostly about assignments and exams.

I guess I am too stress already. T.T

Although I have slept for 9 hours, but I do not have the feeling of sleeping enough.

Really can't wait to finish this gruelling semester.

Update?

2011-02-16T23:07:00.002+08:00

I hardly got time to update my poor blog.

Assignments are killing me. =(

I spent all my free time 'dating' with my assignments. Great.

Things did not go well recently but I am not giving up. I will not let any obstacles to stop me from doing things that I want to do well.

Good night and please take good care of yourself. =)
