... Beep!

Hi all,

Simon's right - we have not been very faithful to this blog. Gotta put in more effort to keep in touch with each other! I admit, I am very guilty of this crime too. There are no valid reasons for this. Life has its way of creating rifts between old friends, I guess. So maybe we all should take a step back and consider Simon's words. Maybe we all need to put in more effort! Hopefully this and Simon's post can kick-start things a little. Hahaha!

I have officially completed my university course. As of 10 December 2010, I am a graduate with a degree in Civil Engineering! And come March, will be starting work in an engineering company in Perth. Just another chapter in life I guess. Kinda excited and kinda wanting to stick to the old life too!

The past few weeks have been spent preparing the documents required in the application for an Australian Permanent Residence Visa. Yes, I guess this means that I'll be officially moving to Australia. I can't say for sure whether I'll be staying here for good, as I really like it in Malaysia and my original plan was to eventually return to Kuching!

Will be going home to Kuching on 11 January 2011 and we'll only be returning to Perth at the end of February. It's probably my last long holiday before working life and 21-days-leave-a-year kicks in. I don't know if any of you will be in Kuching when I am, though =(

Girlfriend department: Yes, sudah on! Didn't send another announcement message because I thought the previous message already implied that. Hahaha.

Hope to hear more from you guys soon!!

Resuscitation...

beep...beep.....beeeeeeepppppppppp...................

Hoy you ppl....how come so senyap...keep in touch konon....say smth lah....hhmmmm....

Let me start lah...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Christmas! Lets be honest here. What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about Christmas? Be honest. i confess that Jesus was not on my mind, which im ashamed to say la actually. Ahhh malu nya....adoii...anyways. Its not like i think about santa and christmas tree or stuff like that, but my mind wonders instead to Christmas dinners, family time and spending time with frens and love ones. Its not bad, but its not good either. (well at least to me lah...) Those should be the 2nd, 3rd n 4th thing that comes to mind. Not the first. Im doing some reflecting this Christmas because of this, and i hope i provoked something in you guys as well. =)

Hmmm...how come this blog tak ada orang writes anything ah? Is it because that we are all so freaking busy? Nonsense, i think we have plenty of time to do more useless things than updating urself rite. Or, have we all got nothing to say anymore to each other? Baru tadi i check my email, not the recent mail but my earlier mails. Emails sent between frens. Then i look at where we are now. SERIOUS SHIT! Such a huge rift! Even if we were to chat up i wouldnt know what to say. ya sure the customary whats up, where are u know, whats happening, etc. After that? Hmmmm...i kan jarang/tak banyak cakap, only know how to diss people saja. Is it just me or is it everybody as well? I talked to a fren about this, then she said ahhh we should cling to God and not cling to friends. Hhmmm... Dont ask me, i pun sik faham, its not like i abandon God or anything, i just felt so sayang that relationships fade as it did. Perhaps i should learn to "talk". Hhhmmmm.....

Girlfriend department.....no change...

Activity....cant recall wad i've been up to for the past few months....just check facebook lah...see the gambar. Nothing worth mentioning i think. Just know im doing well cukup sudah...hahaha...

Wow...alvin embak GF jumpa parents....bagus bagus...hahahaha...bila gik mok mbak GF jumpa us?hahahaha.....same goes to raymond...Ah Din also, follow up to the msg u sent to us out of the blue apa macam?sudah "on"ka sik? Hershel.......errr....gay...hahahahah.....boooo...shut up...

Ravin how come never cari me?babi la u...hahaha....i think i called u once tapi like cannot connect or smth, so peduli lah....

Hospital life aint fun....sigh....haha....syukur syukur...anyways....say something lah ppl....isshhh....

beeeeeeppppppppppppppppppp.....beep....beep....beep.....beep.......(dont let this die again ah...)

With Great Seasonal Cheer and Goodwill,

May Love, Peace, Joy and Hope be with us all,

And all whom we love,

To spread to the World.

=)

Happy Birthday to Raymond Yeo Khang Wee, Aaron Zacahary and Alvin Entinggi Nichol!!!!!

Hey Alvin,

Happy Birthday from all of us at the blog. I don't really have anything to say since you already know how much we all care about you. Perhaps this day is a reminder to all of us about how important you are. I will spend some time today to reflect on our relationship(but it probably won't take that longlah since it doesn't mean much :P). I hope that you will have a great day today. Hopefully, you get to do all the things you want and be with everybody that you want to be with. Sorry for not wishing you happy birthday, got midterm today in the afternoon and I want to call you. Laterlah bro, if you are free that is. Take carelah. Happy Good Fridaylah and Easter!!!

and.....

Aaron Zachary,

Happy Birthday dude, know it was a bit late to put this up in the blog but it is definitely worth the wait and something not to be missed out. I hope you are having the time of your life in Cardiff. I am pondering on the thought of leaving Malaysia in the months to come. I hope that if I do go to the states that we can visit each other. Take care!

and..................

Raymond Yeo,

Yea, I didn't put a shout out as I said I would so here's a big one:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAYMOND YEO KHANG WEE!!!!!! (Must say it like Simon does, imagine him shouting all the way from KL). Take care in KK. Get your leg fixed. Hopefully, this sem will go fine for you. Our relationship has really grown after leaving school. Hopefully, we will continue to become even closer in the future. Perhaps, I will be a threat to all your future GFs (the same would hold true for everyone here). Take care.

Haiz, got birthday every week. Musim jadi tua.

Holiday is coming soon....

I’m smelling something great is coming. Its the semester break!! Hehe.. Eventhough there is still 6 weeks to go, I really can’t wait to go back (See?! I’m even doing the countdown already..) Anyway, when are you guys coming back? Plan up some activities too. Well, I think the plan of going to Bali is kinda too big for me, for now..

Anyway, I’ve got some news here. As you all know, I’ve been suffering from my left leg pain from badminton for exactly a year already (Hoo-ray!!!). The pain is getting worse ever since then. Every night and morning I will have this pain. The pain doesn’t stay at one spot but moves from my left ankle to left hip. The worst part would be my front and back of my knee. I went to see the doctor last month and found out that my left thigh (quadriceps) is 3cm smaller than my right one (that’s how bad it is) Went for X-ray and there is no sign of fracture. If there is a fracture, I wouldn’t be able to walk already. The local clinic has made the appointment with the government specialist in KK here on this “April Fool”. If come to the worst case, I might be going for surgery (say goodbye to my semester break)..

If really need to go for surgery....... I don’t think I want to go back that soon... What?!! 6 weeks left!! Arghh!!!

I guess that’s all for now.. Ohya, Happy April Fool.. Hehe.. Byes and GBU.. ;-)

Happy Birthday Aldrin Wong Shen Wee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Aldrin,

Happy Birthday from all of us in the group!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope it has been a great day for you and I wished that Iwas able to celebrate with you in Kuching!!!!! It'd be great if I had the oppurtunity to see you once again after such a long time. How long has it been anyway? I think about a year. Anyway, I also wish you all the best for the year ahead and may you have many more Birthdays to come. May you be blessed with a fulfilling and healthy life. I know you will be making a huge leap into the working world in about a year's time. I hope that you continue to remain the same Alrdin that you've always been. Do take care of yourself in Australia. I also wish that you would be given the oppurtunity to enjoy the remainder of you days in Australia. Hopefully, the work load wouldn't be that heavy and taxing on you so that you can make more great memories there. Take care Aldrin. We're all thinking of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

A Word from Sabahan

Hi, everyone.. I know, I know.. Been 'MIA' for so long after left to Sabah.. My bad guys.. Well, basically, I'm so happy that everyone is doing great.. And of course, everyone have been throwing thoughts and announcements, making this blog is flourishing too.. :-) Well, keep it up guys..

Simple Guy - You have been contributing the most here, especially the 'SUPER' long posts (at some point I have to take a rest in between posts, especially after reading yours).. Anyway, its been inspirational to me and at times it gave me a thought of whats going on..

El-Retardo - Thats a great name, dude.. You must be so proud it.. Haha.. Well, all the best in your Robocon.. I hope the information was useful (which I think not la.. :-p).. If you need some extra information, I would be happy to help out.. I heard some of my friends were quitting Robocon due to the pressures.. So.. Sir, bila mau chia makan? I've been waiting for this moment u know ka?! Good la, at least there is someone taking over my place.. Don't worry, I'll help also whenever available in Kuching.. And by the way, since I'm so hungry now, maybe we can organize BBQ party at your house this CNY holiday la (then can start off the first DOTA/L4D meeting at your house too..) LOL!

Naked Bear - Yeah, dude! Advancing in so many aspect already ha.. New car! New 'Fish'! What's next?! Well, can't wait to hear your stories about the 'fish' you reeled.. Hehe.. Ohya.. Saya benar benar terasa la pasal Facebook tu.. ERK!!! Hehe..

Saykhia - You're about to leave Kuching soon, right? So need gather up a lot more this coming week with the gangs and have some kopitiam session before going being an aussie guy again.. Hehe..

SCN - Umm... Yeah! Alright! Well, coming back soon?? Miss the moment when you diss El-retardo.. I believe he love it so much.. Lol..

Axfangli - You're the furthest away among us here.. Frankly, this is the only blog that I visited normally (beside narutoverse) Lol.. So rare to see your posts here.. Great to hear that you're doing fine there.. Got to let us know when you're coming back again.. Report to the Kuching branch manager when you're back: El-Retardo.. Haha!

As, for me.... Life here is great.. After ikat perut for almost two months here, I finally able to get my loan.. I really wonder if the loan is really helping or just burdening.. Been surviving with Maggie Mee, Nasi Lemak Sexy and Roti Bun Sexy, I really gave up with the fake rumors about when the loan is coming out.. By the way, both the specially named foods are the official food in our college because this guy will surely dropped by my block at least twice every night selling warm nasi lemak and freshly baked buns, everything at the price of RM1.50!!! Well, those who got no energy to leave the room due to krisis kebuluran, those food are the only way out..

Anyway, I'll be coming back on 13 Feb (Sat) reaching Kuching at 9pm.. OMG.. Do you know what does that mean?? I'll go straight to my Granma's house and all I get is, "Ah Bi aa.. Go to the kitchen and heat up the food yourself aa.." Well, thats my 'Reunion Dinner'.. Can't wait meet you guys again.. I'll be free on almost every night.. So, don't shy shy ajak me out la.. Hehe..

Till then, bye-bye and GBU!!

Oh ya!! Happy Chinese New Year, everyone!!! :-)

"Geeks and nerds are the leaders of tomorrow"

Hey guys...

The title of this post was taken from the post that Sze Howe posted on my wall in FB. It was a response to what I posted recently about how I sometimes feel like a geek/nerd. Below is the full post by Sze Howe:

"Geeks and nerds are the leaders of tomorrow. Embrace it, and go forth and be an awesome nerd!"

Yeah, that was the post. It got me thinking. He may be right. I mean, he is right. Look at all the leaders of today. I dare say that they are all geeks and nerds. Well, atlease at some point of theirs lives lah... hehe...

Then, it got me thinking further. If being cool is the opposite to being a geek, does that mean that once your geek-ness goes up, your cool-nest goes down?? But I now personally think that this hypotesis is not true or relevant. Because when I further analyzed myself, I realized that I that much of a geek. I still do things that a geek would not normally do. For example, I can play drums and a bit of guiter...(still learning).

Well, the conclusion is that why do we have to maintain the natural order of some things?? I say some things because there are things that can't or should not change. But in this case, we should some sort like 'mix and match'. Be geeky but still maintain your cool-ness at the same time. Its something like an irony. Basically, be an irony. But don't be too much of an irony though, because too much of something is never good (except for GOD's love). (^_^)

Btw, this friday(12/02/10) I have a presentation in front of the Dean for Robocon. I hope it goes well..... [stress mode]...huhu....

Well, this is just to keep you guys thinking. Exercising the brain.. haha...

Take care and GBU... =p

P/S: Congratez Vin on your 'fish'...haha... all da best to you...

Malaysian Malaysian

Today in macroeconomics class, a friend of mine/ housemate really got on my nerves. You see, we were learning about taxes which lead to topics such as personal income tax rates, GDP per capita and works hours. Our lecturer decided to make class a bit more trivial by comparing these indicators among varoius countries. To make it even more interesting, she decided to ask us which countries we felt had the lowest and highest position in each indicator list.

First, she began by asking us whether we could guess which country had the lowest and highest number of working hours per year. Another classmate and I guessed Japan but we were wrong. My kiasu housemate, without any hessitation, immediately shouted Singapore. For a moment I thought he was right but we were soon corrected by my lecturer who said that it was Korea. We moved on to the country which had the lest working hours per year. My housemate instinctively yells 'Malaysia'. He continued by saying that Malaysians have too many holidays. At this moment, I felt damn embarassed by his chauvanistic attitude towards Malaysia. Btw, France holds the title for lowest number of working hours per year with only about 1750 hours.

Next, my lecturer went on to ask us about personal incomes and GDP per capita and when she asked us which country we felt had the lowest position on the list, my friend said Malaysia; again, he was confident and quick to respond. We all know that Malaysia isn't that badlah wei! Why does he keep on making guesses that he knows are completely wrong and triggers sensitive feelings among people? I mean, he lives in Malaysia; he should know its real situation. We aren't that badlaha people. I felt a bit offended by his comments but even more by his firm believe that Malaysia's a bad country. When Miss Lim continued to say that Singaporeans had a significantly higher GDP per capita than Malaysians ( I think it was something like 4 times more that Malaysia), he was so impressed and amazed by the Singaporeans. However, my lecturer, being a UM grad, added that she rather live in Malaysian as she could afford to buy a house despite her low yearly income. She also reminded us that GDP per capita does not alwaysd reflect living conditions and said that Malaysians who worked enjoyed decent working hours, decent pay for the work they do, loads of government intervention to regulate prices and lower inflation. Plus our country is clean and peaceful. Some of this may onlby be halftruths but they are to a resonable extent true.

My annoying friend laughed when the teacher said that Malaysia was clean and peaceful and continues on his hate campaign against Malaysia by saying that Singapore was much better and cleaner. He also brought up the point about Singapore having Orchard Road. Right now, you can probably guess what type of person this guy is: Diva yang hidup dalam alam fantasi yang harus kembali ke dunia realiti. Ms Lim's using the principles of economics to say that Malaysia is better and he well, says that Singapore has Orchard Road and we shall all submit to her for this huge accomplishment. Me, being my easily irritable self, was so annoyed at Steve's consistent Malaysia bashing which made the class environment rather tense.

Here's what I have to say. Why do people like Steve hate Malaysia so much to the extent that they feel proud that they have thought of a funny comment of point about Malaysia. Don't they get hurt when other people say bad things about Malaysia? I mean, he should look at himself when he makes these comments. There is so much hate and anger fueling him and we wonder how has this happened and turn to alternative outlets such as this blog to give our views. When you see someone speak with hate, you will understand. It is different when people make casual comments. This, like is said, was a campaign. Well planned out and requires conscious action to execute. People like this is the reason why we have ISA. I really don't get Steve's attitude. I mean, where does he think he comes from? China? Singapore? US? More like Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia. HEheeheheheheeh. How on Earth do Malaysians identify more with people in other countries? Does he think that being born Chinese gives him the fucking right to claim stake to a country like Singapore or China? Why do Chinese people feel like they are better than everyone else ah? I know you guys are hardworking but it should be a personal thing not a Chinese thing. Maybe you guys should spend some time in Anderson to remind you that this feeling of entitlement that you have is completely blown up out of proportion. If there is any race that could claim entitlement, it would be the whites or Jews. They are the most successful, have natural occuring six packs and at least 7 inch erected penis ( I know, random but I should slip a pun here and there :) )and are more evolved idealisticallly. So, please don't feel that you are better that other peoplelah all you Chinese people out there. I mean no harm but when Steve makes comments like this with so much spirit and fight in him, I can't help but feel that he has not been hanging around the right kind of people who make his chauvinistic and resentful towards Malaysia.

I am not pro-Malaysia, but I am not anti- Malaysia either as I know and see reality as it is. Not as the way my father, mother, sister, friend, statesman, prime minister or God sees it. Steve is seeing it from a skewed point of view, a vision of Malaysia that so many negative people have soliphsized on to him. I wish you guys don't forgetlah, whatever it is, you are Malaysian. I know Sze Howe, when you go to Australia and white folks ask you which country you are from, you say Malaysia. I also know when people make bad comments about Malaysians, especially white folks, you get hurt, you feel demeaned, and get offended. Bottom line, you FEEL Malaysian. I have only lived outside of Malaysia for less that 4days (set the record last month). How can one not only FEEEEEEEEEEEEL but BEEEEEEELIEVE that he is Singaporean by only visiting it for a month. The thought is funny, it is like Japanese people thinking they are like niggers from the Ghetto hood. Seriously, laught at it. Imagine some skinny fair Japanese dude dressing up in baggy clothes thinkin he's some kinda hustla. DAMN!!!!!! (Laugh Alvin!) Don't sell yourself outlah dei. We are Malaysian. To me, Steve falls in my literal definition of a loser. You see, to me a loser is a guy who sits around all day saying that he has so many problems in the world but does nothing about it. It is a guy who sits around in his room thingking about all the things he's gonna get when he grows up like a Ferrari or a hot girlfriend but can't even study for tomorrow's DE test. It is also a guy who uses his daddy's money to buy his girlfirend presents. Seriously, anyone who does this is a loser. You don't deserve to call yourself a man and it would be an insult to females if we called you a girl. The reason why Malaysia sucks is because you suck. You aren't investing time to learn to change Malaysia. UM can be just like Harvard if its students there wanted to. They just need to make the difference. All it takes is one person. You can change the entire Malaysia by yourself if you really tried just like Jordan changed basketball forever. Only one person can make the difference and it is you. Just you, not even God can make a change like this if you think about it. But if you really think about it, your built was designed after God himself so you can definitely make a difference. I may teach you ajaran sesat. But I believe that every person is God. That is why we don't have to pray to God. Because you have to live every moment like a God would. This is a burden that you carry, the burden of being designed in God's form. Think about this the next time you can't study or lose motivation. Think about what the Simple Guy said not what God said. Don't be a loser. Be a man (like Russel Peters). Here's a video about what I'm talking about:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIl5RxhLZ5U

Hey Gang too!

My turn, my turn. This babi (according to Simon) is back, but he's as skinnier as ever. Actually, not quite true; it's hard to stay skinny on Aussie food. Now my old photos -- with me in my old stick shape -- look scary.

Anyway.

Drin, your comment about small companies is so true. My current workplace is also a small company, with about 10 employees -- The people here get shuffled around quite a bit; the receptionist had a go at railway auditing too! I wasn't picked for the job at first, but one shuffling reopened a similar position, and I got called in. So, I'm grateful for the do-a-bit-of-everything method, and for my friend who led me to the job.

The work itself isn't mind-blowing; a few of us are going through thousands of photos of train tracks, to check for defects. So it's not "proper" engineering, but the experience and cash are still welcome. It doesn't really matter anyway cuz my boss shows us what the engineers do, and let us play with their prototype devices!

You asked if anyone here likes the working life... well like I said the actual work isn't exciting (2 weeks in, and I'm starting to feel the mental toll), but the environment is relaxed. Lunch break chats range from This-Is-What-My-Grandkids-Said to How-To-Identify-A-Chinese/Japanese/Caucasian-Home-By-Looking-At-The-Street; we're free to take breaks whenever we want (within reason lah). So it's a mixed bag of wonders and woes, really; definitely busier than studying and more taxing than Differential Equations, but also definitely worthwhile.

Shel, your BB aspirations made me smile. Congrats on your promotion, and God bless you in your efforts! It's cool and encouraging to see the BB still being an important part of our lives.

On the flipside, I'm currently doing the opposite of you though; baru last night I decided to take a break from BB for a while, maybe for 1 year. There are lots of good things out there to be doing, but stretching in all directions until popiah-thin wasn't smart on my part... I think I need to get my life back on track before I can work properly for others. Socially, financially, even educationally I've been unravelling somewhat; some of it from poor choices, some from external circumstances. It's time to start making changes lah, then come back and reevaluate.

Ravin, hope you find peace with nuisances in life, even if it means giving them a piece of your mind. Political correctness worldwide is slowly killing that form of interaction.

Simon (and Hershel), haha, what a great reminder of the makan spirit. Brings memories of our Green Hill trips those years ago. I'm sure there will be plenty of makan-ing over the next few weeks! I can't make it back this time round, but my new citizenship means that I won't have to tighten my belt for uni fees anymore next year. My kolo mee fund will be active again, yeah. Next holidays I should be able make it back; hope to see you guys then! It's been way too long.

In the meantime, let's make 2010 a great year!

Ray…Hidup bahagia sudah…bagus2….

Ok….i found this song! It’s an old song and super damn familiar….

I wake in the dark
Showers of light
Moments of emptiness around
Floating away
No rays of hope
Reality brings me to the ground

What can I do?
What can I say?
I need a place to hide away
Just for a while, just for a smile
Just for the life I used to know

For every song was filled with words of love and not of anger
What if they go?
What if they leave me far behind?

'Cause I don't wanna be alone.. (uh oh)
Living life for on my own (uh oh)
I don't want to live my life in isolation
Filled with empty decorations
'Cause I wanna be with people that I know
Who would do the things I do (uh oh)
Making all my dreams come true (uh oh)
I don't recognize the shadows at my door
Though I've seen them all before
Because the only thing I really want..
Is to be with you....

I look at the sky,
That looks back at me
I'm getting a silent melody
I know that I'm here
And I am lost
Alone and confusion by the breeze
Hiding my face, crying alone
I need to find my way back home
Back to the place
The wonderful days
Livin' the life I used to know

For every smile was born out of the love and our sincerity
And every tear from all the glowing joy

[chorus]x2
'Cause I don't wanna be alone.. (uh oh)
Living life for on my own (uh oh)
I don't want to live my life in isolation
Filled with empty decorations
'Cause I wanna be with people that I know
Who would do the things I do (uh oh)
Making all my dreams come true (uh oh)
I don't recognize the shadows at my door
Though I've seen them all before
Because the only thing I really want..
Is to be with you....

Is to be with you
Living life for on my own (uh oh)
I don't wanna live my life in isolation
Filled with empty decorations
'Cause I wanna be with people that I know
Who would do the things I do (uh oh)
Making all my dreams come true (uh oh)
I don't recognize the shadows at my door
Though I've seen them all before Because the only thing I really want..
Is to be with you....

Forgot To Mention

...that I changed my blog URL. I've received many complaints that the URL for my blog is too long and too difficult to type. So I changed it back to the old URL.

=D

Personalities, which I Dislike

This post will just be a short post about the type of people that I generally dislike after being in the ADP at Taylor's for 1 1/2 years. I won't talk about all the trips that I went on during my holiday but just to tell you, I went to Singapore twice, Melaka twice, JB, Serdang and Sunway. Loads of things to mention and I don't have the time to talk about them now. Anyway here's a few types of personalities, which I notice I don't get along with very comfortably:

1) Divas. Specifically, male divas. I seem to be a male diva magnet as my housemate is a diva and so is on of my new friend who has been trying quite hard to become close to me. I dislike this personality because I feel that it is just plain weird for someone, regardless of gender to behave like a diva. It's definitely not natural for someone to be a diva. What I mean by a diva is a person who tries to be fabulous by dressing up very extravagantly to attract people , act and talk like a queer or faggot, cause scenes in public by being LOUD, gossip endlessly about people and put on a show in public by giving people false impression. This list of personalities is not isolated diva. Rather, a diva checks off everything I have just mentioned. There's a deeper dislike within me for these type of people. First, they are just plain annoying and I don't understand how one is able to be so oblivious to his or her effect on other people by being loud and socializing in an extremely effeminate way especially guys. Note the effeminate. Do they pick up all these by watching TV and what merit does admiring a diva-ish person on TV carry? Secondly, they are just so Fucking demanding. They are extremely needy and require you to do this and that for them, go out with them frequently, ask for things like your textbooks, invite themselves over to your home and always controlling who you become friends with. I don't like playing games like this with them and I have realized from my experiences with them that I am just not ready to be involved in a relationship with girls. I hate having to go out with them alll the time even though I want to stay at home and do some Fucking Differential Equations questions because the bloody teacher can't express himself in English. They also prevent you from having your own friends and must give consent. I hate hiding my friends for crying out loud. I hate keeping stories, remembering who I can tell this and that too. Lastly, divas like to use you and manipulate you. Never forget that you are dispensable to them, easily controllable and manipulated to suit their own will. I especially hate when they ask me to accompany them even though I need to do work. They will call me, sms me. Man, I just want out.

2) People who speak in accents but are Malaysians. I just hate these people and can't take them seriously. Seriously, some of these people have never lived overseas for a long period. Yet, they somehow manage to develop a foreign accent. I don't get it. This problem is very common among girls. They tend to speak in British, American and even and Australian accent. My question to them? How did you get your accent? Do you have a parent who is a migrant? No. Have you lived in a foreign country for a reasonably long period i.e. 5 years? Did you attend international school? No. Then, how did you get the accent? In the first place, what would you be doing here if you were foreign? If you attended international school, shouldn't you already be in a foreign country? After all, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you go to international school to get a foreign education? Damn annoying this people. Really cannot tahan to the max. Tahap dewa dewa. Got some of them speak in such strong accents. Ask them where they went to school? Jawapan: SMK Seafield, Subang Jaya. What a bunch of fake people who are so damn pretentious. Malaysians have no accents, people! We don't. We usually mix US and British phrases up and jumble it with a bit of BM and China BM. But some people manage to get Aussie accents. These are the weirdest people of all. It does not reflect well on you because it shows who you have been socializing with. Given that we live in Malaysia, a person with an accent would probably be socializing with other pretentious people as well who want to be white. Why do you want to be white so badly? They may be better in every aspect than us the white people are. But remember, don't burden them with your damn lousy Asian genes. to pass on to their children.

3) LOUD people. I don't get why people have to be loud. I really don't. They are loud even though the person who they are talking too is barely a feet away from them. Whylah? Usually when we talk too loud we will notice that we are doing something overboard. But these people just go ahead with being loud and disruptive to quiet loving people like me. They ignore the voices that tell them that they are too loud. This does not reflect too well on them. The only reason I can think of for people to talk loud is too attract attention. You see, I honestly have spoken loud to attract girls before. I therefore know for a fact, that some people speak loud because they want to be noticed by other people especially the opposite sex. Especially in a college like Taylor's where it is hard to be distinguished. Man, why are people so damn desperate these days? I love silence. I don't want the chaos that comes with noise. LOUD people should masuk lokap.

4) People who are not sensitive to other people and are not aware of themselves or the environment. I call these people the Mak Ciks and Pak Ciks. Why? It is simple. It is because when you go to a mall and you are walking, then there is an old Ah Ma in front of you who is walking in the middle of your path in such a way that you can't pass her. She is damn slow and does not know that you want to pass her. There are alot of people suffering from this sindrom in Malaysia especially couples. You see, when you go to malls these days, couples always walk together and they slow you down, a lot. As a single male who has been given the responsiblity of being the hunter-gatherer, I feel that they are in my way and are not up to the pace of my life. They need to date somewhere else because I need to hunt :) Malaysians just don't know how to date these days. They go to the worst places to date like when I'm queuing up to get my food from the food stall, they are there blocking you from taking the forks and spoons. Pleaselah guys, if you ever get a girlfriend, don't do stupid things that will stop time for other people too. Please find someone who is a bit more smarter and is not a NOOB that I can live with. Sorrylah bros, your girls or guys won't get any approval if they walk damn slow next to me. I'll probably tell you the dump her or him because of poor genetic make up, which you would not want your child to have. Apart from that, these Mak Ciks and Pak Ciks should not be allowed to populate this world with cretins of their own. You see, it is because they are unable to take care of children. Taking care of children is a big responsibility and they just give up. They let their children run lose in the cinema, bring crying babies to the damned cinema, let their children push grocery carts in the mall and order their children by sitting down on a bench. Don't have children Malaysians!!!!!! You obviously can't handle them. I see mothers carrying their LV bags while their Indon maids carry the baby. If my partner ever does that, I wouldn't hesitate to give her a beating. Seriously, people like this need to be disciplined. Basically, you can also find Ah Ma's and Ah Pa's at the corridor between classes. They don't know what they are going to do with their lives and just walk by aimlessly, blocking your path when you want to get to MATH 353: Differential Equations class. How sad.

CPR

Why did this blog die a silent and lonely death? Everyone's lost the steam to post? Or simply too busy with their own lives? Haih. The downsides of growing up. Increase in responsibilities, decrease in free time. And even less time for the old life, I guess.

Sorry. Minor emo moment there!

Just a short update from Aldrin then. This coming week will be my final week of internship! For the past seven weeks I have been working as a Trainee Engineer in Perunding JHL. I don't think that any of you will have heard of the company before - it is a small company! However, they say that one learns the most from the small companies. Because there are not many people around, so everyone needs to know everything! In bigger companies, one person gets dumped into one section (say drainage design) and that's all he'll ever do for the rest of his life. In a small company, the engineers are responsible for every aspect of the project: structural, geotechnical, drainage, etc etc. So you'll get to learn a little bit of everything!

Well, my time here has been pretty fruitful, I think. I've done many things from simple designs to preparing engineering documents to supervising construction sites to stamping plans to amending drawings. It is true that fresh graduates come out into the working field and realize they know nothing - I felt the same way too! I asked so many questions that my supervisors must get sick of me after a while.. Hahaha.

There's another trainee in the office. His name's Ah Tak and he's really really pro! Then again, he's worked with his contractor dad since he was in Form 4. He's certainly seen a lot in the business and knows his stuff. A reminder to me that knowledge counts for little. It is experience that really determines your proficiency.

Anyone of you liking the working life? For those of you who have been through the working life, that is! Really taxing, isn't it? 8am to 5pm for five days a week. By the end of the day, you're so tired all you want to do is perform a diving headbutt into bed and then die on the bed until the battery recharges. And I realize that work really takes away time from everything else. On weeknights you'll be tired out from work and the weekends are just too short to count for much.

For the past seven weeks I've been doing this:
At 8am, look forward to 5pm.
On Monday, count off the days to Friday.

If all things go well, I'll be graduating in two semesters. After that, work. For the rest of my life. I am not sure if I am ready to do this! Hahahaha.

And certainly not looking forward to the working life.
