Free Lunch

Today I stayed back at school for extra tuition class, replacing Wei Jie (if I not mistaken his name) while he is occupied for the inter-school badminton competition.

I pleasurably accepted it. Afterall, who would deny for a RM 60 extra incentive by just teaching for TWO hours?

I’m not an idiot, okay?

He pushed me an English Comprehension reference book and asked me to teach by reading along the essays with the students, explain it and do the attached question.

Duh.. how boring.

Before this I’ve been told that today is the last day for the extra tuition class, after this when the November comes, there will be tuition class no more. Moreover, the extra class that I will be teaching is standard 6. So what’s for pushing them to study more when the UPSR is over?

That’s why, before I entered the class, I decided to let them do things that they wanted to.

When I’m walking towards the class on the corridor, these children were chasing around climbing up and down. Well, it isn’t a surprise anyway. What would you expect a 12 years old kid doing when there’s nothing to occupy them?

Sit quietly at each seat and play SUDOKU?

But however, discipline is discipline. After they stood up and greeted me, the first line that I said to the class was: “Stand on the chair, everyone!”

“Stand straight, everyone look at me.”

They might think I was punishing them. In fact I wasn’t. I just wanted to get a momentary attention from the class. And it’s proven effective when everyone is silent and focus on a single person – me.

I did the self introduction, explained why I’m here and make them answer me why they are standing on the chair.

2 golden rules on executing punishment
-Let them understand why they are punished.
-Mean what you said, strictly.

After that I let them sit down and followed by a talk with them so that they won’t lose focus immediately. We talk about their future planning, the school they going to attend for secondary, the places or activities they have been doing since UPSR finish, etc..

Majority of them will be joining Chong Hwa Secondary, where is just a few blocks down the road. Some of them are joining Titiwangsa Secondary - boy school and girl school.

Besides that they joined the school trip to Singapore during the Kongsi Raya holiday, 4 days 3 nights, which cost them RM500++ Quite cheap huh? Haha.. I should have joined the school earlier, as suggested by a child there.

After that, the important part kicks in - whether to teach or not to. And of course, the majority voted *drumroll*

NO.

That’s when Uno card, Chinese chess and others board game becomes my two-hours teaching material :P

As for the English.. whatever book, who cares lah?

I filled up my time by marking books; they have their well deserved rest after final exam. Now we are both happy.

The only person that will be unhappy is more likely the PIBG.

Paying 60 bugs to a teacher who teaches nothing :P

Today, I’m a teacher.

I look very VERY different, from my previous job attire. Don't I?

Finally I landed myself on a job ever since my college break. It’s almost a month I live as a jobless person, long away from fast-paced life. Well, it doesn’t serve for no purpose. You might call it soul-searching in-the-progress.

Afterall, if it isn’t the stupid college promised me a free course to study, I already lounge myself into a full-time job before my Uni life starts. Darn, until now I still haven’t receive the course schedule yet, KANASAI college..

Garh!!!

But hey, until now you might still be wondering.. Yeah.. I’m a teacher now. And I’m not kidding you.



Today is my first day reporting in and I’m teaching standard 3 and 4 students for BM subject and some minor subject too. Actually the school’s principle wants me to teach Chinese since I get an A in my SPM (Sijil Paling Murah), but then he changed his mind after discussing with his vice, just because the Chinese class is in standard 6.

They worried I might caught some chick in the process, can you believe it?!!

He told me nowadays the kids get matured too early, oh well.. *shook head*



All in all, today is a hectic day with lotsa paper works, teaching plan to do. I will write more tomorrow.

Safety rule #27: Never take light rail transit in terminal station

What I like about NTV7’s Edisi 7 night time news is, they always have the latest news that will only available in newspaper the day after.

News like this is A PURE SHOCKER:



When OMG is not enough to express this unbelievable-ness, we can only accept the fact that anything could happened in this world. Routine route becomes a deadly roller coaster experience, kinda interesting don’t you think?

Ironically, I always wish that I have the chance to experience life-and-death situation, again. Ever since a car accident that nearly knock me down when I’m only about 5-7 years old, I hardly met any kind of these anymore.

My height is only at a car's bumper level, that time.

What happen back then was, the car rammed into me a few inches, and I was able to stand still and walk away like nothing happened.

I can only say that it is the moment when I'm closest to God.

***

It appears in today’s newspaper headline, without much surprise obviously. I can imagine some ill-looking faces pointing fingers on each other in tomorrow’s headlines,

as usual.

Ohana Means Family

Had a wonderful holiday together with family.



It’s funny how people reacted when I said I wanted to spend my whole week together with family. Yeah, I guess I had come to an age where I appreciate family values more than anything else. Did it come too early? Well, I don’t know.

“..Eh sorry lar I wanna spend my time with family.”
Does this sound awkward to you?

Okay la my friend, sorry to be MIA for the week. Besides than your friend and a part-time blogger here, I’m two parents’ son and two people’s siblings too, full-time somemore. Understand abit larhh okay?



I wonder whether we should leave our parents alone at home, while we paint the town red by spending their money. It’s never sounds right, and it have never been.

At least during this festive season, when they finally have time to take a break from daily routine, try to dig some common interest between you and your family, tighten up the generation gap, you know. If you are able to find happiness with your fellow friends, I’m pretty sure you can share it with your family too. No doubt bout it.

At the end of the day, it’s your family that will support you and walk together with you for the better or worse. Not you friend, or any special relationship that only heats up during time of romance.



Here is a joke for the day:

My dad’s company sponsors him a new line and he has started using it since last week. The day when my brother came back from Johor he sends a message to him:

“你到了吗？”
“You reach already?”

“还没。不好意思请问你是谁？”
“No. Sorry, may I ask who are you?”

My dad has no choice but to reply:




“I’m lim-lao-peh, you know anot?!”

Taking a short break

Happy Deepavali and Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all of you!!!

My elder brother is comming back from Johor during his festive break. And as usual I will be working on festive reunions with my dearest malay and indian schoolmate too. Hehee time to ring up their phones.

Plus, I will be working on new layout for my blogsite. And I will lay my hands on those new features in Blogger Beta. So expect for new fresh look when I'm back.


In the meanwhile,



and Happy Deepavali and Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!!!

Saying ‘Happy Deepavali’ is not wrong

Another ridiculous issue heated by the radical Muslims.

Link1
Link2

As much as I enjoy bicth-slapping debating with heartsong in kexiou’s blog page, suddenly I felt an urge to understand how religious people from other religion think about marriage and pre-marital sex. Thus I spent sometime digging out religious information over the blogsphere to reinforce my knowledge on these issues.

I hate to be a loser you know? Heh..

Culture is a very interest thing to explore and to understand, but do that means if I explore others religion and practice just a tiniee-winee-bit of it, makes me less a freethinker?

In my humblest opinion, I DON’T THINK SO!

All this shit started when I accidentally I bumped into a blog page titled “Deepavali greetings can cause syirik (blasphemy, or more commonly known as Haram in malay)" to muslims who wishes it.

What the fork?!! Curiosity urge me to read further on the writing, and the links attached too.

After some time tracking the source, the issue was started by the Syariah Department in Takaful Malaysia who issued an internal memo circulated amongst the staffs stating that wishing "Happy Deepavali" to Hindus is haram (forbidden).

** By the time I get this entry posted, Takaful has officially released an apology statement. Here

As for the reason why they shouldn't be wishing, here is the shortened version:

“As a Muslim, you have the duty to uphold and spread Islam, and bring others to this religion. By wishing someone happy celebrating their festival, what does that mean? Are you accepting their religion, therefore implying that what they do (celebrating and practising their religion) is right? Don't get me wrong: even Islam recognises that there are other religions apart from Islam. However, Islam also teaches the Muslim how they are different, and why Islam is the chosen religion by Allah swt.”

For in depth information on the reasons, please do refer to the links above, I am not going to elaborate anymore. I felt more and more retard for just explaining more.


Excuse me, my dear radical Muslims,

I don’t really care actually. Really.

Whether you are wishing or not, it’s doesn’t matter anyway. I believe that our Hindus friends will never ask for your wishes too, if you are so selfishly and egoistically thinks that just by wishing others race from other religion happy festive based on goodwill will caused you lose marks in your Islamic score-sheet.

I really don't fucking care.

BUT THEN! When you blasted those liberal Muslims, who is clearly not agreed with your radical thoughts, who want to kongsi raya with the Hindus, with these kind of strong and serious accuse; now that is something I couldn’t tolerate with..

“...their heresy is kufr and truly, they are the misguided ones. They will worship all kinds of gods.”

Hello my dear radical Muslims, *knock knock* are you conscious of what you accusing?

I seriously suggest that you reconsider what you said, because you are hurting those who are serving the same God as you are. And by all means, I won’t say you are the misguided one like you did, because I understand that your Holy Book can be interpreted in various perspectives; nobody is 100% proven right, as nobody has actually see God. Do you?

Saying ‘happy deepavali’ is not wrong. Islam has no wrong.

Something wrong is with you.

here is a constructive opinion from mahaguru58

Nominee of Pua-Chu-Kang Comedy Award

Oh no.. Not politic issues again!

I always thought that politics is boring and dull. You know, only retired Ah Pek or Ah Shums will leisurely talk about politics in their favorite kopitiam early in the morning. Shaking legs, drinking kopi-o..

Nowadays, even dogs have something to bark on politics.

Sorry but I can’t help myself of blogging politics. Recent news is getting more and more dramatic and hilarious, I guess they might replace my primary source of entertainment one day! The best thing is, it's hot baked right in front of my doorstep daily!

To be honest, I am quite feddup of swearing my own gahmen already. Let’s take a break and see how other people commented. Let’s get the party started.

*drumroll*

Here is the five sandiwara-sandiwara that is nominated for best series of Pua-Chu-Kang Comedy Award.



Ladies and gentleman, the first nominee:

Excerpt from minishorts.net:

And that interview they had with MY prime minister. Which was plastered on all the front pages of the local Chinese papers, and conveniently tucked into a corner of the other dailies.

Oh in bulleted form some more.

Chinese community should be thankful because the Government has given them the opportunity to prosper.

*cue* Bows head in repentance? OH THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO PROSPER!!! OMM OMMM OMMM …

Eh I dunno about you hoh, but I remember years and years back some other leader also said something about 'Oh the Malays have to be thankful for the government.'

And that line about 'Don't bite the hand that feeds you.'

Why are our leaders … always begging their people to thank them? Pardon me for being a bit rebellious here, but good morning sir, ma'am, you are the government that we voted INTO power because we believe that we will PROSPER under you. For God's sake I wouldn't even look at my skin colour when it comes to being prosperous. As far as I'm concern, under a good government, EVERYONE SHOULD PROSPER, and when that kind of overall prosperity kicks into the place, a GOOD GOVERNMENT will not go running to a drama-inducing news channel such as CNN and tell a segment of the people, 'OH PLEASE THANK US, BECAUSE WE MADE YOU PROSPEROUS.'

The second nominee goes to:

Excerpt from kennysia.com:

So anyway, do I think the Malaysian garblement is racist? Unforunately yes. I'd even go as far as to say that the Malaysian garblement has more racist policies than the Australian garblement, which is saying a lot considering how Malaysia once cried out against Australia over their 'racist' immigration policies and treatment of refugees.

But is it a surprise? Hardly. What do you expect when the ruling party ever since Malaysia's independance is a Malay race-based political party called UMNO?


"Let no one from the other races ever question the rights of Malays on this land. Don’t question the religion because this is my right on this land." - Badruddin, UMNO Deputy Chairperson

"Eh hello. I'm born here so its also my right to be here also wat. So hao lian for what?" - Kenny Sia, Blogger.


Btw, I always thought the name 'UMNO' for a political party is kinda cute. Can you imagine what their caucus sessions are like?


UMNO Minion: "Prai Minster! Prai Minster! Can we adopt another policy to increase our bumi discount to 30% pleaseee?"
Prime Minister: "UM... NO."
UMNO Minion: "Then 20% can?"
Prime Minister: "UM. NO!"
UMNO Minion: "15%?"
Prime Minister: "UMNO!!!"
UMNO Minion: "Mmmk. :("


More

Have enough? I don’t think so. The 3rd nominee:

Excerpt from ktemoc.blogspot.com:

I wonder what these guys are saying? I am going to make a guess, and you're welcome too.



My take:

Hishamuddin (passionately): There's not going to be any apology, OK? Love means never ever having to say sorry, and I love you, got that? Yeah, if you don't understand what I’ve just said, OK, let me repeat that in Chinese - Ai Larp U lah!

Khairy (senyum rimau, and thinks): Tak perlu komen lah. Am not one to stand in the way of love. Nampaknya Liew dah bingung dengan Hisham's surprise declaration of cinta. As my Oxford don used to say, 'Omnia vincit amor, et nos cedamus amori' - hehehe.

Liew (mute stung by bee? thinks): KNN, chia lart men! He does love me afterall. Does that mean I sooner or later kena 'potong' er? Do I have to switch to UMNO Youth too, or does Hisham instead come over to MCA Youth?

Let’s welcome the 4th nominee:

Are our yellow-skinned friends, being margerin-ize-d?



Nah, they are margerin-iz-ing themselves..

The FINAL nominee, which I personally think is the best of all. It’s a big honored to have our Prai Minster and Putera Umno chairperson here.

Round applaud for dumb Adalah Amat Badass weeee-wee and dumber Adalah Aedes Adalah Rahim!

PM to rebrand Mat Rempit

Aug 21, 06 12:45pm


Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will rebrand illegal motorcycle riders - popularly known as ‘Mat Rempit’ - during an assembly in the Bukit Jalil national stadium this November.

Putera Umno chairperson Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim said the rebranding of Mat Rempit was to change the illegal race participants' image towards something better.

"We are thinking of a suitable name like Mat Cemerlang," he was quoted as saying by Bernama. !!!!!!??!

"We are finding a proper direction for them. We could not stop them to continue with their interests but we can guide them to find a direction," he added.

Abdul Azeez said the motorcylists should not be perceived as a threat, adding that, "If we cannot stop them, we join them. We try to understand them because they are our youths."

(seriously, I spilled my drink on the floor when I read this..)



Alright that’s all for tonight. If you guys enjoyed the reality show, do drop us a vote okay? Once again thanks for our powderful gahmen in producing our very own flavoured sandiwara series, malaysia bolih!

Until next time,
*bow*
I’m Eddie, and this is..
*drumroll*
Pua-Chu-Kang Comedy Award.

World Trade Center

It’s a movie recommended to those who heard (or even seen) the September 11 event. If you’re that kind of 'happy goes lucky' people, “Harrr? 911 event? Whazzat?!” “Ceh.. American people die only ma not my business”, then forget about it.

You might fall asleep.



It’s a sad event to begin with, so without much surprise the movie starts with a gloomy mood. It expects you know well about the incident without wasting more time to explain longer.


Instead of documenting the whole incident, the storyline circles on two policemen (John McLoughlin and Will Jimeno) who gets involve in the rescue operation. Unfortunately, they are caught buried under the concourse between the towers 1 and 2 when the second air-plane crash into it, which they never expect it to come.



Around 5 airplanes crashed into WTC. Every time it happened, it chills.

I reckon the scene where the concourse collapses is the best part of the movie. The visual effect is like no other movie, not even The Matrix trilogy. Too bad I can’t find any photo to post it up here.

A lot flashback happens, a lot touching scene, a lot what-I-should-do-earlier thoughts, but very lack in entertainment. Well, the most entertaining part for me is watching kexiou crying 'silently' like a baby from the very beginning of the movie.

"The World Saw Evil That Day. Two Men Saw Something Else."
(the movie's tagline)

Hell yeah, I and Henry saw tears! LOTS OF THEM!

What to do, Rob-B-Hood she also cried.

It’s okay laaa kexiou, you will make it in time before 24 *pat*

Did I told any one she wants to be pregnant before 24? No riiight?





All in all, the movie is an emotion rollercoaster and worth to be watched. It’s reminds you about the kindness, guts and love, if you ever have some, that is.

Just don’t expect too much from it.

>Our PM is such a farnie guy:
>"The Chinese should thank the gov for giving them opportunity to proseper!"
>Waddap?

Mat Rempit is our future?

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

Mat rempit noun
1. a Malaysian term for 'illegal street racer/racing' which using underbone motorcycle(Kapcai) or scooter.
2. usually performs the race at the bustling city centre on weekends night until wee hour.
3. Most of them are Malay which coming from poor background.

I had spent my early school days in Chinese school. I myself is a Chinese too, and generally we Chinese believe education is the only way to archive a better living, especially in a country which politically restrict the development of our education system. We have given all our efforts to funding of our Chinese schools for this reason.

Instead of investing in various loopholes in various areas, we only concentrate our efforts on education matters. We believe that it will benefit us the most in a long-term context.

We even have a Chinese saying:

再穷，也穷不了教育。
(No matter how poor, we cannot sacrifice education.)

Fortunately to say, I am being raised up in a tradition family which holds strong to this believe.



It is pretty disapointed to know that our country is not running in a civil manner. Why I said so? Let's read this news from The Star newspaper.

Excerpt from The Star Online:

3,800 mat rempit to join Umno, says Putera chief

PETALING JAYA: Putera Umno claims it has roped in 3,800 mat rempit under 25 years of age to sign up as Umno members.

Movement chief Datuk Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim said these young street racers were among 10,000 in the Klang Valley who were courted by the wing.

Nationwide, the movement had wooed between 30,000 and 40,000 mat rempit, he told reporters at a gotong royong to spruce up a Muslim cemetery at Bukit Tandang here yesterday.

“We will collect their particulars and absorb them as members. So far, 3,800 have filled up forms to join Umno,” he said.

More

Yeah, you bet it. These people are so talented, why waste their capabilities? They can rempit so fast, even law enforcer also no fear one! Waliew so brave!

Ask them to join UMNO Youth larhh~

We sama-sama rempit the country~


Let’s ride the country!

Alright, let’s step back to reality.

This is a questionable issue: If you break the law, instead of going to jail, we forgive you and open a path for you to join politic parties and lead your people. What do you think?

If you are smart enough to think again, you would realize why the law breakers are given such privilege. Why not we give privilege to speeders, or drunken drivers?

Why I still get a saman for parking at the yellow line?!?! Why am I not forgiven and recruited to the MCA?

The focus slowly cuts down to a single reason: because most (in fact is all) of them are made of one special blood. The so-called the owner of this land based on Ketuanan Melayu concept, which ridiculously denies the rights of citizenship of others race other than their own;

The malays.


UMNO Youth Chief Hishamuddin Hussein brandishing the keris (Malay dagger) in defense of ketuanan Melayu.(taken from wikipedia.com)

Needless for me to say, the action of the major ruling party is clearly printed on their forehead. They are hunting for votes for the upcoming election. In our country, malay is the largest race in number, that’s why all this racist policies like NEP (new economic policies), Ketuanan Melayu and including this incredulous ‘Mat Rempit is recruited’ issue is raised. To please the malays larhh~ of course.

But did they take in account the damage it will be done to the nation? You can recruit a mamak; you could even recruit a begger; NOT a criminal okay?



They don’t even know the proper way to ride a bike!!

This country would be a great country if there is no division of races. With its richness of natural resources, Malaysia should be one among the most developed nation in Asia. Singapore wouldn’t even stand a chance.

Bitter to say, all those money lost to corrupted politicians, unprofitable projects, pro-malay policies, sooner or later we will be wiped off from the face of the earth in this globalization era.

Instead of preparing ourselves to be competitive, we are drowning ourselves over unsettled racist issues which will only valid before 80-an.

Points made, finger pointed, but I still can’t foresee any future for my country. This is what saddens me as Malaysian.

It feels like being tangled in unrequited love.

I love you but you don’t love me.

Bowling In The Morning

Slacking off my blogging routine recently.

This few days I am adjusting my personal timetable and as expected, it’s normal to miss out something. Something like blogging ;)

Normally I would blog in the afternoon but I had no choice but to shift this column to night. My college life will be starting soon for short three weeks, better to get use to the time before jet lag happens on me.

Last but not least *kahem*, thanks for Winnie for taking away my digicam so that i can't photo blog.

#$%^&^&*%6&*@

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I went for a bowling session with Li Wei and Su Peng in Berjaya TimeSquare. It’s a very early morning of Monday.

But why bowling in the early morning?

I caught the hint as soon as I reached in front the boiling court. There is a badly-done-A4 size promotion paper stamped on the glass entrance, written:

“4 games for RM10”

“11am – 2pm”

Great. My morning sleep in exchange of a discount in bowling session.

That’s not just it. Normally people say good things come in pairs. It’s true.

The girls arrived 1 hour late.


Now that’s greatness. Cheers!



Li Wei and Su Peng both is secondary schoolmates ended up studying same college together, Tunku Abdual Rahman College. As for me, I only knew them for few months, and made met up for the third time.



This is Reika a.k.a Li Wei. She’s novel blogger too. The current novel she’s working on is called 蓝之恋 already in Chapter 26. I always have an urge to read up her novel from the first, kinda interesting from the snips and bits I read through her post. But but but… it’s quite long you know, and I not much of a book reader.

The last novel I ever finished is Konserto Terakhir 3 years ago. The first one is Bukit Kepong.. halfway somemore. So..

Heh..




This is Su Peng. She owns a blog too, head on to her blog here.





~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*





Payback time! Late nia? Si beh song la? Watch me!

(Lying down my itchy fingers..)


Obviously O refers to me

Eddie : Haven’t I told you I am pro in this sport?
Reika : Yeaah.. right.
Su Peng : Pro in editing the score right?


We had a good laugh on it.

愛得太遲 – Too late to love

我過去 那死黨 早晚共對
Last time I seeing my close friends almost everyday
各也紮職以後 沒法 暢聚
Ever since we had our own career, we rarely see each other.
而終於 相約到 但無言共對 疏淡如水
At last we gathered together, but we became unfamiliar as if we are strangers

日夜做 見爸爸 剛好想呻
Working days and night, back from home saw dad, I wanted to grumble
卻霎眼 看出他 多了皺紋
But I saw his has more wrinkles
而他的蒼老感 是從來未覺 太內疚擔心
Never notice his aging, I feels bad.

最心痛是 愛得太遲 有些心意 不可等某個日子
The most painful thing is: we are too late to love.
There is something that we couldn’t wait for tomorrow.
盲目地發奮 忙忙忙其實自私
Strive for achievement blindly; giving excuse that we are busy, the fact is we are being selfish
夢中也習慣 有壓力要我得志
Stress, even in dream I have to face it
最可怕是 愛需要及時 只差一秒 心聲都已變歷史
But it’s okay. The most dreadful thing is:
If we are too late to express ourselves, even for one second, everything will become history.
忙極亦放肆 見我愛見的相知
We have to release ourselves even if we are busy. When we saw our love ones
要抱要吻要怎麼也好 偏要推說等下一次
Hug, kiss or anything you want to do, please don’t wait for next time.

我也覺 我體質 彷似下降 看了症得到是 別要太忙
I notice my health is getting worse. Consulted doctor, he say I should take a break.
而影碟 都掃光 但從來未看 因有事趕
VCDs DVDs are scattered on my table, but I never watched it. I am too busy for that.
日夜做 儲的錢 都應該夠 到聖誕 正好講 跟我白頭
Working day and night, the money I accumulated, I guess it’s enough for me to propose to her on Christmas.
誰知她開了口 未能挨下去 已恨我很久
Before I have chance, she cannot bear with me and broke up with me.
錯失太易 愛得太遲 我怎想到 她忍不到那日子
It’s too easy to lose something. I am too late to love. I never thought she couldn’t bear with me until that day.
盲目地發奮 忙忙忙從來未知
Strive for achievement blindly; giving excuse that I am busy, the fact is I am being selfish
幸福會掠過 再也沒法說鍾意
Happiness is gone, and I can’t express myself to her already.
愛一個字 也需要及時 只差一秒 心聲都已變歷史
The word ‘love’, needs to be in time. Even if it’s one second too late, it will be history.
為何未放肆 見我愛見的相知
Why I didn’t release myself? When I saw my love ones
要抱要吻要怎麼也好 不要相信一切有下次
Hug, kiss or anything I want to do, I won’t wait for next time to express.

相擁我所愛又花幾多秒 這幾秒 能夠做到又有多少
Hugging my love ones, will spend how much or how long? Just a few seconds, but who is practicing it?
未算少 足夠遺憾忘掉
Very few, until can be ignored.
多少抱憾 多少過路人 太懂估計 卻不懂愛錫自身
Sadly, a lot people who passed-by, are able to plan brilliantly, but they don’t know to love themselves.
人人在發奮 想起他朝都興奮
Everyone is striving for achievement. They are so agitated when they think about what they will archive.
但今晚未過 你要過也很吸引
But we yet to know tomorrow will come or not, this second is what you need to archive.

縱不信運 你不過是人 理想很远 愛於咫尺卻在等
I never believe in luck. You are just a human. Your dream is as far as the world ends, but you ignored the precious moments underneath your feet.
來日別操心 趁你有能力開心
Don’t worry about the future, as long as you are able to enjoy yourself, do it.
世界有太多東西發生 不要等到天上俯瞰
Too many things happen unexpectedly. Don’t wait until you’re looking down from heaven.

>Today is the Mid Autumn festival, enjoy with your love ones.

Anxiety?

Today sky is foggy, so am I. Insomnia strikes me again without warning. And it’s all enough to turn my mood upside down. Maybe I am depressed. Yeah, I am depressed.




I am experiencing short-term insomnia, so I visited the clinic for sleeping pills again. Unexpectedly, the doctor consulted me and watched my clinical record. He is an elderly experienced doctor that has been watching over me since I took the first pill. In his month he mumbled some words, and then he concluded and warned me: “Anxiety, depression, stress. Watch out, okay?”

I am disturbed because of his words.

Is it true?



My college mate was with me when I visited the clinic. When I got out I had to hide my feelings. It’s not that I don’t want to talk about it. They are just not the right person to let me do so.

The one I has to talk, is myself.

Multi-purpose noodle

We all enjoy simplicity in life.



Multipurpose gadget with wrench, screwdriver, and various assorted knives

Thus, we want gadgets that can do it all.



All-in-one printer with print, scan and copy functions

There is where multi-purpose item kicks in. And we are loving it.



Behold~! Here I present you the multi-purpose noodle.

But heck, have you ever heard of multi-purpose noodle? Never in 20-years-since-I-was-borned can?

To my surprise, I had never noticed it until it’s the very last packet. It looks pretty normal from the outside, just like a normal instant noodle.



Together with artificial season, ‘sambal’ and seaweed

I mean, how many people will check on the cooking instruction of an INSTANT NOODLE? I wouldn’t even know it if I wasn’t checking the nutrient facts.

Yeah, just to count how many days this noodle will shorten my life.



New idiom: Don’t judge a noodle from its packets

This has to go in my Edward’s Genius-world-of-records. It stated:

3 way of consuming the noodle:
First, boil - Like a normal instant noodle would do.

Second, Soak - Hey, sounds like a cup noodle to me.

The king of all instant noodles

Third, snack - !!!

That means eat instantly! For god’s sake, who would eat an instant noodle INSTANTLY?

...

Wait. I mean, why buying an instant noodle if you are eating instantly?

...

Alright, I give up.




Man, it doesn’t taste right.

Multimedia University - part 1

As I promised I will post my review on few of the campus. Multimedia University is the first to go. It’s getting too long and I going to cut it into 2 parts so that it won’t bored you guys till death, and in the same time, I can get my well-deserved rest. I got better things to do rather than blogging the whole day ya know’

I had traveled to MMU on the 20th September, early in the morning. I’m not sure the exact route getting myself there by then. The morning I woke up, turn on my computer, log on to http://www.mmu.edu.my/, take a photo of this, and then off I go.



Actually, I didn’t plan anything else beside than waking up early. I started the journey on 0915.

I arrived at Bank Negara KTM station around 1045 and something caught my attention along the interchange bridge between Star LRT and KTM.

Read this:



Wow scary! It makes me think twice or perhaps trice before passing the bridge. Don’t get me wrong. I am expanding my creativity in my mind.

Here is my best try:

“To all petty little scumbag planning to do crimes through or using this bridge at any time of the day or night, do so at your own risk.

The installation of CCTV on this bridge will surely caught your stupid face while you snatching away innocent folk’s handbags or hand phones, so pray that you won’t get famous appearing in mass media the next day. Bank Negara Malaysia, its affiliates, employees or agents is committed to protect the safety of the public in any manner whatsoever for any loss or injury to property, body or life of any person using this bridge. Commit the crime jackass. The next thing you will realize is gotten busted and spending some quality time being locked up in the nearest jail.”

Hmm.. isn’t this sounds better? Now they get positive image in public in the same time making used of CCTV they installed. It’s funny how a big organization like Bank Negara would be chickened away by such a light crime. We fight crime, we don't escape from it.

I’m sooooooooooo scared. God help me!







I boarded at Serdang station around 1135 after exchanging few public transports and walking around at the places that interest me. Serdang is a much more traffic-friendly place after the roads has revamped. The last time I went to The Mines, traffic is so congested until only one or two cars able to drive through the road. Those times has passed, my goodness.




What I like about Rapid KL (formally known as CityLiner and Intrakota) is their friendly and laid-back bus driver. Occasionally when I travel around KL, especially those intra-cites buses, I met with nice and well-mannered bus driver, and they are more than helpful to talk with you and give you some advice on your journey. And the best part is, no extra service charges!

I reinvent the conversation from what I remembered.

E: Bang, pergi cyberjaya tak?
B: Pergi.. lu nak pergi mana?
E: MMU. Bas ini dulu 868 kan?
B: Ya, sekarang bas baru dah tukar kepada T42. Sama saja. Nanti u tukar bas lagi, 429.
E: Okay, terima kasih ya..

(I sit at the first row of the seats on the left. The bus is resting at the station waiting for more passengers. My right side is an Indian girl traveling to Lim Kok Weng College.)

(The bus driver is a young malay adult around age of 25 or more. He gets of the seat and checked on the passengers in his bus. I represent the Indian girl as ‘I’.)

B: U pergi study ke? Study kat mana?
I : Lim Kok Weng.
B: Oh nanti u tukar bas lagi lah? Itu bus xxx. U study apa? (I cant remember the bus number)
I: Business.
B: Aiyoh.. Business tak boleh oh. (shaking his head lightly)
B: Dulu saya pun study business. Susah nak cari kerja. Tengok, sekarang pun pandu bas saja.
I: :)(speechless... )
B: Sudah lama dah I pandu. Sekarang masih pergi Uni juga tiap tiap hari, tapi tak masuk belajar lah.
I: :D
E: :D Lalu saja lah?

B: (Looking at me) Ialah.
B: U macam mana? Pergi MMU ke? Tak macam pergi belajar pun.
E: Belum belajar lagi. Pergi sana tengok course dulu.
B: Yaaake? (grin)
B: Atau pergi sana tengok ah moi?
E: Tengok juga lah.. (grin)

B: Ok la dah lama tunggu, boleh jalan dah.

The bus start moving together with well-satisfied passengers :) It’s always a pleasure to travel with Rapid KL shuttle buses.




Oh gosh, I need to exchange bus one more time. It’s already 1215!



I have a lot photo to share. So to cut it short, these are the scene I came across during the journey.
















Tada! At last I reached the main entrance of MMU at 1230. It’s had been a long-and-exhaustive-3 hours journey, and before I step inside the campus, I started questioning myself why the heck I spend such a long time to a campus I not going to study. Nothing better to do arhhh?

Alright, I admit I got nothing better to do, really.




But wait. I encounter some interesting security guards on duty. I walk by slowly and watch how they perform their job.




The security awareness of the campus is tune to the highest knob. With 2 motorbikes and one Perodua Kancil car on the patrol every 2-3 hours, this place is even safer than the US embassy. At least no wacko will crazy enough till’ carry bombs into the campus. The Americans is not here, ya know’

The security guards will stop your vehicle and check every possible space that could carry a hostage, rather than checking your hair whether it’s longer or more colorful than theirs. Like hell it’s their mother’s business.

Here is very different than some local university that promotes stupidity, really.





Aikks? Here is the DR M who still thinks he is the prime minister. Old folks always forgetful you know.




If you think we are still outside of the campus, you are totally wrong. Welcome to MMU.




Here is the Executive Apartment. Judging by the name I not sure whether it’s the hostel for lecturers and staffs, or it’s just a better version of hostel for students. I changed my mind quickly after a hot lady with perfect body shape like J.LO passed by.

Oh gosh, her boobs are bouncing all over my mind.

The second thing I remember was I wake up in General Hospital and she already passed by and I couldn’t get a photo of her. Arrhh never mind, my heart will go on~

She couldn’t be a lecturer, could her?






Hello, Mister Human Resource. Can’t your parents give you a better name?




Here is the general office. Don’t be surprise of the size; this is where they manage five faculties of different courses.





Alright, here is the place I am looking for. I bang inside the door and yell for the student consultant, which I wouldn’t do. I asked politely, of course.




Ms Teo consulted me that day, and thank god she is a Chinese. I can flirt much better in Chinese. Wait, I mean communicate.

Ni hao bu yao lian oh, hua dou xie le hai keep zhe. Diu liao ta, wo song ni yi ge, hao ma?

See?




This is what Ai Ling planned to study I guess. Good for her, have to study 4 more years! Hmm! :)

I am quite shock by the diversity of the courses available in each faculty. Let alone in Faculty of Creative Multimedia, there are 5 degree courses available:

Bachelor of Multimedia (Hons) Digital Media
Bachelor of Multimedia (Hons) Film and Animation
Bachelor of Multimedia (Hons) Media Innovation
Bachelor of Multimedia (Hons) Interface Design
Bachelor of Multimedia (Hons) Virtual Reality

Yeah, I think you are same as me. I am deadly confused.

If you planned to take up any of the degree courses above, you need to spend one more year in Foundation of Creative Multimedia, as stated in the brochure:

Minimum qualification to join Bachelor of Multimedia:
Pass MMU Foundation
OR
At least 3 years Diploma in design and computer related courses and portfolio of design and computer works and full transcripts and resume.

How strict!

However, after some consideration, I really do think they need to set this standard. You think it is easy arrhh study designing course? Try to draw a picture of yourself, and don’t make yourself looks like a chimp wearing clothes.

It’s hard ya know’




This is what she recommends me. Judging by the looks of mine, she senses a high IQ in me so she said I can skip the whole foundation year.

Hah? What? I swear. I never lied. NEVER.

Heck, it’s signed by Bill Gates the world’s wealthiest man~! But they didn’t show the most important line stated the reason he signed it. Fishy..

There is a story which describes how rich Bill Gates is. It’s like this:

When Bill Gates is strolling down the street, if he accidentally dropped a one-hundred-dollar note, he doesn’t even bother to pick it up. Because by the time he bows down and picks up the note, he is able to make twice or more of the amount.

So, do you think he bothers to come all the way here to sign the board? His secretary, perhaps.

You can bride the anyone to sign for you, but you can’t bride Bill Gates you know!




Hmmmmmm...
