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
