Lama Tak Blog Ni!

Been very lazy to blog! A lot of stuffs that can be blogged actually, yet still don't really know how to express! Well, besides a cash prize worth RM 800, all our efforts for the HSBC thingy sort like went into the drain. Never mind. We just lack of something! CNY was pretty usual, nothing special, at least to me, since for all the years, I would be away in my parents' hometown. Fell sick somemore! Not much time to pay my friends a visit as I had to rush back here, PJ, on Sunday before lunch or rather before the jam! Managed only to visit my old good friend, Mr.Tian and his family and also Dr. Pang.

Ipoh was pretty congested at areas like Ipoh Garden East, and Greentown. Congested with both cars and lengluis! Had a drink time with Mr.Tian and his girlfriend, BengKuin, Yat, and Alan Lee at Ipoh Garden East, few days before the CNY. Situation was rather weird! In a way that Mr.Tian has a girlfriend now! Alan finally find a job somewhere at Sunway, with Infotech if I am not mistaken.

On Friday night, the day when I went back to Ipoh from T.Intan, I had dinner with Mei Ling. Nice porridge and "kong pou tim kai". Forgotten what they call "tim kai" in English. Literal translation would sound "sweet chicken". Perhaps I should just say "toads cooked with spicy dried chillis". Haha. A favourite Chinese delicacy. Again this time around, Mei Ling, a girl, was the one who pay for the bill. Everytime she says I have yet to work and she is working, therefore it is okay for her to pay! But but but... she is a girl mah!

Was "ronda" ing the whole of Taman Tun Dr.Ismail last night. After dinner with Kai. Goodness. That area is real rich men's area. Houses are all huge, well-designed and modern! and also luxurious! And most of the cars you find there are also those big continental cars like BMWs and Merc's! I would just grab any girl there to be my girlfriend! LOL! Haha. People can be so damm rich man! In a way, I am speechless also! =/

My Rosy Hope for An Auspicious Year of The Monkey...
Ushering into the Year of Monkey, my ripples of feeling are coalesced into a tidal wave of tremendous and tangible excitement. But at the same time I'm also dismay with my fortune throughout the year, which anticipating that those who borned in the year of monkey will not have a smooth ride this year in some aspects - turbulent career, bloodsheding, freaky accident, lack of luck in gambling, investment or other activities which involve high risks et cetera. Hence, I'll always behave in highest precaution, high-sensible, and turn on the alarm for self-protection; and I hope the others who face the same circumstance will do so as well.

I was back for CNY in a deep late at night in my uncle's car before the arrival of CNY Eve. I didn't expect any activities will be done on this day as I thought there will be the once-per-year family reunion to have a joyous "Tuan Yuen Fan". Ha.. YPing called for first secondary school alumni "assembly" after the family merriment. Thus, with the jovial mood, I went and joined the gathering. Finally, we decided to find a serene ambience for a long-time chatting since it was quite a long time that everyone rubs shoulders with the others, and thus we made up our mind to go to Greentown Business Centre, where there are lots of moderate open-air chill-out cafe and pub-lounge. Time went off admist our light moment before the gathering was ended at 4am, nevertheless, we had "embarked" on our next precious gathering in the following days.

Nevertheless, after 4 hours lying in my soggy bed, I was out again as there is our tradition to have half-day vegetarian savour during the first day of CNY. After the morning sumptous breakfast at one vegetarian eatery, I was back home for short rest before proceeding to next "venture" - again - a traditional gathering at Miss Chong (our secondary school teacher) house. This time, around 20 of us went there by 5 cars, and we were welcomed by Miss Chong with the huge smile. This year, her home seem more "energistic" and "invigorating" with the arrival of her first cute baby. With a fair skin and dewy complexion as well as being a "chit" who seldom seem without a smile, yet she was the centre of happiness creator who entertained everyone much of the time. Around 7pm, we had our delightful savour at Ipoh Garden before we were back to Menglembu for our next activities.

SInce some of them needed to have their invigorating shower for stamina infusion, thus some of us started our mahjong game first before the big crowd were congregated. KPek, declaring herself as an "infant" in playing mahjong, began her straighted-game win and her gambling spirit was so high until chivvying us to surrender even with the empty wallet. Haha.. the article I read before really told the truth - nothing brings out the real character of a person better than indulging themselves into a intriguing mahjong table. But, after the change of monetary system, it was the turn from LFun and me to win the game. I was feeling nothing as I'm not a mahjong aficionado, but both of them was apparently emerged as the demon on the mahjong table - curling up, shrieking and hugging each other vaguely. Nevertheless, all were still under self-control, as we played it merely for fun and time killing, and thus our relationship would be much fostered rather than the vise versa. But really, her teddy-bear face with the pensive clinch, as well as her behaviour of curling up unexpectedly throughout the game was quite ludicrous, yet affectionate. Around 10pm, we continue our next round of gambling in MFah's house. We played poker, sitting in circle on the floor. Indeed, I was really overjoyed with this merriment, and I was much grateful of having this opportunity to mingle around with all my old friends. The happy face with jovial mood had revealed the total indulgence among my alumni and albeit they still needed to continue their tough life and tedious work after CNY, chained to this money-obsessed world, but for the time being, all they want was the precious merriment and a genuine and never-ending friendship.

Around 2am, we headed to next destination as some of them grumbled for a little peckish. So, YOnn and YSin went to market to buy some roasted meat and chicken and the rest waited at CHoon's house. YSin even "sacrificed" the front part of his car for putting on the food and drinks - the water-mouthing roasted meat and chicken, canned drinks, alcoholic drinks, chocolates, NY cookies and nuts et cetera. Again, we indulged ourselves immersely with this appetising "supper" meanwhile we chat in jest in that humid and cold midnight, watching the semi-blazed moon light. And that was how I ended my first day of CNY at around 4am.

I had my Form 6 alumni reunion during the second day of CNY, but the attendance was much dampened and disheartened. Early in the morning at 9am, VChin paid me a visit before we departed to CHoe's house. We were the first group reaching his house, and followed by KMing, WKean, CYit, KFatt and BQuen. Not only that, our Indian pals - Jason, Ruben and Joshua seem celebrated this Chinese festive also by paying a visit to CHoe's house. It was quite a pleasure to meet them. Thanks to VChin who was willing to fetch me and visit old friends from house to house. Nevertheless, it might not an opportune day as majority of our friends declared their status of being outstation and busy which hardly spare some time to join us. At about 12noon, we departed to YFern's, WKeng's and SYee's house respectively. We were given the warmest welcome by them. Likewise, they also pronounced their dissatisfaction of meeting the same people (VChin and me) every year. Hahaha... what could we do as everyone was busying with their own visit or other stuffs. I suggested that in the following year, maybe it is a wise option to know their day and time of availability during CNY via email 1 month before the joyous festival celebration so that it won't come to a mess. Of course, if possible, choose someone who is enduring, shrewed and with high calibre, such as CHoe or VChin, I reckoned. At around 5pm, I drove off to my grandmum's house for dinner. It is poised to be the tradition that all abroaded relatives to come back for family reunion at the elder's house (for my case - my grandmum house) during CNY. It was such a different kinda vibe to meet up with all my uncles and aunts, as well as cousins with heartfelt chatting. But sometimes we bumped into situation where we looked at each other quizzically and smile slightly. I thought - this might be factor of haven't met for a longish time.

After back home for taking bath, I accompanied my parent to pay a visit to my fifth aunt's house. I was a little disappointed of knowing that 3 of her children (my cousins) celebrated the CNY at Sydney. Anyway, I was with a relief knowing that their stable and happy life in Australia after the revelations from my fifth aunt. At about 11pm, as pledged, I went for the "yum cha" session with my primary school alumni at Curry House at the newly-developed area of Impiana Adril. During the reunion, again, I was so pleasant to notice a sign of bright careers with them currently - factory coordinator, accounting firm auditor, web developer, insurance unit sales manager et cetera. After that, we headed to LSan's house after someone suggested for playing poker. Hahaha.. that night the lucky star was not besides me and I excused myself before losing more. The next day, I got to know from WHoo that WHoong was the big winner. It didn't come into my astonishment because WHoong, despite borned in the year of 1980, but according to the Chinese calendar, his born before CNY is categorised to the year of goat. So, no wonder that this "goat" could reap the money from the other "monkeys" who would be lack of luck in gambling. Haha.. since when I became so superstitious..

Candidly said that I was very exhausted with the previous days' non-stop activities that disallow me to have a sweet sleep in comfy slumberland. Hence, I overslept during the third day of CNY. When I woke up on that splendid day, the wall clock showed 12noon. After self-cleaning and well-claded up, I went back to my grandmum house for lunch. The dishes were very appetiting as a series of lucrative food were showcased on the table - deep-fried fish served in a sauce made from chilli padi, fish sauce and spring onions, crispy roasted meat, greeny kailan, hand-made appetizer meat ball et cetera. After filling full my stomach, WYik was too kind and unstinting to come and fetch me at around 2pm. So the house visit schedules were immediately hammered out, with the first destination back to YHoo's house, then WYin's and finally YSin's. The suggestion to watch movie finally chipped away in vain since the telephone ticket reservation was hardly connected. The final consensus after a jiffy - would be another round of gathering at YSin's house which was held similiarly last year, where I still remember vividly how our guys and gals fooled around at YSin' house the whole night until the next morning's breakfast.

We started our activities by singing the karaoke. This year, I managed to overcome my timid feeling and started singing. My voice was much monstrously terrible compared with the gals' crooning. Anyway, WYik still rounded off in their trademark style - "notice meticulously first before further action", and was reluctant to pick up the singing stick to croon, albeit seeing him gapping his mouth with the sweet voice during the karaoke session. And YSin was still shy and humiliated to sing too. After that, the poker session was started as everyone wished to. Everyone really couldn't reject the excitement and high-spirit in immersing the "In-Between" game (including me), since the feeling was likely riding on the windswept roller-coaster, underpinned with the spiralling upwards and downwards of the accumulated money. Nevertheless, MFah, adopting get rid of involving in the game, had done her good job by sheding her body language of demureness and rectitude. Thus, she was requested to do the poker delivery. The most wacky event not better than my irresistable invitation of "just 20 cent, you might win back the accumulated RM20". And PWan, who giving up the game initially, was back on swift action with feisty determination to win back the pennies she losed. Haha.. eventually, as overall she still have a little lose in the game. Final result - YSin and SMing became the main game losers, yet the depressing mood never bare their inner pyshe and core, which should be given the thumbs-up. WYik and me, for the first time won the game and of course, based on the never-changed "rules and regulation", we would allocate some pennies for treatment as consolution. But, finally the crowd was dismissed and eventually we just spent some for next morning breakfast for the guys.

Ushering into the fourth day of CNY, the atmosphere of gaiety gradually evaporated as most of the friends will back to their works and studies (including me). After having the breakfast, I followed WYik's car "lepak" around and continued seeking for "victim". In fact, we were not looking for the angpow, but just hope for a fostering bilateral friendship by paying a heartfelt visit. And thus, we visited them in duo, so that it won't come to their nighmare and shock of catering the bunches of dozens friends with countless angpow. In the afternoon, we paid a visit to SMing's house, followed by SHoe's. But due to immatch in terms of time, we eventually didn't meet with SHoe. Before our departure back to KL at 12midnight, our last destination would be KPek's house.

The new year always spells the fresh hopes and dreams. Yes, everyone will still have to back to their own stuffs - either tedious or avid, after celebrating the CNY. For those who will undergo the period of turbulence or uncertainty, such as the imminent graduation (including me). Personally, the tidal wave of angst is storming in my soul, as I'm still not very clear with my direction and path. Anyway, I will make a deep consideration before further essential action. My advise is - have some time to ponder meticulously for own future; opt for the auspicious and self-liked beginning with no impulsive trend-follow and pace a nimble feet for the brighter future career. Hopes and opportunities are still in every nook and cranny, I vigorously believe.

Rosy Hope for An Auspicious Chinese New Year...

YSin even "sacrificed" the front part of his car for putting on the food and drinks - the water-mouthing roastered meat and chicken, canned drinks, chocolates, NY cookies and nuts et cetera. Again, we indulged ourselves immersely with this sumptous "supper" meanwhile chatting around in jest, feeling the midnight cold yet dewy and splendid temperature, and watching the semi-blazed moon light. And I ended my 1st day of CNY around 4am.

What have I done today? Emm.. nothing is gone unusual or freaky as the time went off as expected. But, the only disappointing stuff that I never pledge to do is sparing some time to read newspaper these few days. That's why you can notice my significant blog style of not giving any comments or piece of minds regarding with the current domestic and foreign issues recently.

Let's tell you about my humiliated anecdote. Still remember the blog that I have written last time about my holiday at hometown? Now the blog is even spreaded and read by my supervisor. Ha.. "thanks" to my thesis crews who always invoke this topic whenever they think the time is opportune to do so, especially when we had the dialogue session with Mr. Ang (my supervisor). I fathom their intention to do so merely to remind my supervisor's inculcated curiosity. Gosh.. I'm really speechless of their "monstrous" behaviour and feel deep-humiliated. The worst case was - my two gal seniors asked for my kind assistance to write the short article for their newly-participated networking forum which held in KL. Sigh! I'm the fool dude who wholly understand my lousy english competency. How can my english standard be deployed in formal article writing or presentation? Candidly said that I'm still lack of confidence with my english level that beliably even haven't reached to standard. Hopefully, as what my motto pronounces - my perseverance can prevail in one day, but for the time being, I rather to keep it subtle and low-profile, and I just wanna to share it with my closer friend.

Yes, my viva rehearsal was held this afternoon, and expectedly, there are some parts that need to be enhanced. It's ok for me, and thanks to my senior too who gave me some coding solutions, as what they came across also before.

My heart is brimming up with rosy hope now, as the yitea result will be announced on Monday...

Yesterday I went for the career path at Bangunan Peperiksaan, which is organized by UM Aiseic. The career path, aka CP04 has succesfully trooped more than 30 SMEs companies in setting up their booth here. Not only that, there were few well-known mega companies doing their employee recruiments here also, such as Accenture, HSBC, Samsung, Sony, Agilent Technology, Petronas, MIMOS Berhad, ntv7 et cetera. The broadcasting company like ntv7 even did their screening and walk-interview as well as continous evaluation on the spot to seek for the undergraduate who had shown thier mettle and aplomb during the assessment.

Personally, I didn't prepare any CV or resume for job application, yet I'm still clinching on my auspicious beginning after graduation. But, I'm quite interested with the job challenges offered by Accenture. Accenture, being a well-known MNC in business consultancy, outsourcing and technology for all industry fields, is poised to offer a tremendous challenge to their employees. According to their on-duty staff there, Accenture is seeking high-quality employees that are not only ingenious in technical and technolgical application, but at the same they must be equipped with fabulous communication skills and flagship leadership, as well as seamless team work. He revealed that actually in Accenture, the trend is - every employee will be categorised in the most suitable field and he or she will need to work in group with others in handling a particular project. That's the testament of what my senior had recknoned - you won't have your personal spare time and the time flexibilty is never been achieving.

I don't think I'll loss anything if I get an endeavour on Accenture's challenges. And hence, I have surfed its website for thoroughgoing information about job offers in Malaysia. For fresh graduate, they need to meet to below requirements:

"Entry-level candidates must provide a resume complete with pre-U and university transcripts to be considered for an interview. In stage one, those who meet the paper screening benchmarks undergo a short screening interview followed by a more probing 45-minute interview. Candidates who have interned with the company are not normally put through a screening stage. Candidates who demonstrate the qualities we are looking for move on to stage two — another 45-minute interview which may be followed by a closing interview. The interview process can vary according to need and can be wrapped up within a week barring interview scheduling problems. Our one-to-one interviews are conducted by a recruiting manager or managers and partners from industry groups for which a candidate may have the best fit in terms of his interests. It is usually the practice for partners to meet candidate at a closing interview."

Anyway, for the first stage of paper screening, the candidates must submit the detailed academic transcripts from the equivalent of SPMs onward, information of extra-curricular activities, information on any vacation/part-time work and finally a 200-word essay entitled "At Accenture we strive to deliver work that sets us apart from our competitors.", which describes how one can set apart from his or her peers.

I'm going to write a draft for this, in fulfilling my two-pronged benefit - I'm in the perfect circumstance for draft's grammatical and vocabulary corrrection from all my gurus here, and at the same time polishing my english writing too. The draft sounds like this:

"Being an elite and leading company amidst the global picture, Accenture is relentlessly pursuing its incisive performance in catering customers' needs. Our pride as a part of Accenture signifies the pivotal role we should have as an onshore market player in adopting a nascent ripple or a tidal wave for the wholesome economy. With this reason, we must have our steady pace in not only deepening our ability, but also widening our knowledge and mettle, as well as the essential self-consciousness of not locked into old-fashioned paradigm. We will set our eyesights farther afield to seek best business solution convergence in catering customers’ problem wholly, effectively and efficiently. Customer is always right, and our task is simple and eloquent – we are dedicated to satisfy their provocative needs, and provide rigorous professional consultancies in keeping their business on the wealthy track in long-life. Other than that, we will be the workers that sharing the same vision, maintaining the viability and supreme status of Accenture in all economic climates, and ensuring that Accenture to stay atop throughout the years arrogantly. -178 words"

I'm looking for your precious feedback. Please give guidances..

I'm undergoing my period of despair and incomfort. And I realise my life is not lingered with happiness and perfect circumstances at the time, even currently I'm in the phase of almost get everything done - I will finish my thesis soon; I can mix well around and have a light moment with others; I have a rosy hope with the yitea result; I can chat or blog with jovial mood et cetera. But, I notice that I'm so prone and get nuisance sometimes with the mirror imperfect circumstances. I realise that I'm quite easilier to let the time went off and I'm so inproductive to come out with mess. My resolution to have a more "slimmer" body shape will not be definitely pledged since I have given deluge of evasive excuses to myself of stop doing exercise, and since a long time I didn't spare my time to read newspaper in the library and learn more vocabularies, and the most idiot jest is - I'm now here to write this blog after back from my computer lab at 10.30pm without taking bath yet. I even have no idea about the my start of standing with my smelly stench and grubby face.

I wandered out of focus in the faculty this morning and even take some time to visit the career path held at Bangunan Peperiksaan. While knowing many of my friends have gone there with their comprehensive resume or curricular vitae for job seeking, I'm the stupid dude who did nothing. Gosh! Where is my arrogant "kiasuness" already? I should not be the person who lags behind others, I wonder.

And I have many more things to grumble.. but the great tirade is evaporated after writing all this bullshit (please forgive my monstrous cruelty..). At this point, I think I might be among students in FCSIT who can sit relaxingly. So, no more grouchy nonsense from me.. I'll show my utmost gratitude..

I'm going to take my bath now. After that, I will sleep earlier, and hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day..

Indeed, Kepayang is a new state seat. The seat is also exactly the seat of Ipoh city centre. It comprises of GUNONG MASOORAT, KEPAYANG MESJID, KAMPONG PISANG, FAIR PARK, STAR PARK, GREEN TOWN, WALLER COURT, JALAN DATUK ONN JAAFAR, JALAN BIJIH TIMAH, JALAN DATO MAHARAJA LELA, and JALAN SULTAN YUSOF voting districts. Taman Lim which is just 2 streets away from my house in Ipoh, is still under Buntong state seat. HAHA.. I am staying in Ipoh City Centre and yet I don't feel that it is like a city.. perhaps I can only say that Ipoh is far from being as developed as a city is supposed to be.

I am an eligible voter now!

Yeah.. I have been waiting for this day, to know that the electoral inventory has been updated. Now, I can fulfill my responsibility as a warganegara Malaysia to cast my vote, though my status is just pendaftaran baru, which stands for new registration. Whoaa.. I can vote I can vote in the coming election.. =)

Anyway, I noticed some changes in the constituency. Supposedly, my DUN is under Buntong but now the name is Kepayang. My parliamentary seat remains unchanged - Ipoh Barat. I assume that they have redrawn the boundaries of constituencies in Perak.

Anyway, if you guys want to check ur status, go to this site

When I went back to faculty yesterday, it seemed like the mood of gaiety hadn't evaporated in the atmosphere. Even when I stepped into the computer lab, my other thesis coursemates started laughing in me, pointing at the digital photos which showing my ludicrous look in the computer screen. Haha.. they were still in their happy hour and I became their laughter. Indeed, some snapshots that I had took during the cybernite were too monstrous to show off - the idiot guy with a gapped-mouth, or sleepy eyes, and the worst - my flabby body shape was signifying a totally sheer and ugly silhouette. Gosh! I was too ashamed and speechless and if possible, I rather to dig a hole and jump in.

Of course I knew that there was the just a jest in a jiffy, and that's why I never keep their jokes in mind. As long as everyone was with jovial mood, especially admist this critical seconds where our thesis viva will be around the corner, my role as the centre of laughter was an alternative of energising and stress-free. Actually we are too close enough to share anything and speech relaxingly without embarrassment. And that's one of the pros that I can mingle well with these crews.

Some of them had downloaded the photos to the computer and they could send lavishly to others who were involved, by either email or msn messenger. And same to me too. Yup, that's another good way to exchange photos, at least we won't miss out the most "sexiest" or "handsome" or "attractive" appearence and pose in some other shots. Rather than that, Teong and I even spared some time to upload the photos into the Yahoo! Photos for others' pleasant view.

Haha.. my thesis supervisor, who was slightly older than us, joined our photo viewing session also when he came to the computer lab. He was the one who brought up the high spirits when he started commenting on each creature in the photos, based on his joyful yet rigious analysis (actually our relationship is beyond the relationship of student-lecturer or student-supervisor). Of course, many of us were monstrously critised about the ludicrous attire and stupid face.

Other than that, we are planning to publish a booklet for chinese graduates batch 2004. And now we are seeking the valuable opinions from my friends around and hopefully we can successfully gather all relevant particulars from all chinese undergraduates who will graduate soon, and publish the low-price yet eloquent booklet for all benefits and contacts.

Lastly, congratulations to my senior Low Sze Hau who was placed third and walked away with RM1,500 and job offer from his e-Genting Programming Competition 2003 in Genting Highlands recently.

interesting ques fooji. in my opinion, if u really love someone , then it will be harder for for you to express your feelings to that person, compared with if you are fooling around. so the deeper you have feelings for that person, the harder it is. tell her that( i presume that the person is from the opposite sex). i'm not going to ask who the person is
obt, from the photos, it's evident that there are quite a number of leng luis in your fac. intro some lah.
back in hukm , repeating my medicine posting now. met with ruben yesterday, looks quite stressed up.

wow wow!!! fooji, i have been asking myself that question since long. what i can conclude is, when you really love someone, you will never know! =P figure it out!

kar kin, you are a great achiever man, a wealthy man in the making.. Li Ka-Shing no.2! now it seems to me also you are a journalist in CNN, Times, Business Weeks, Fortune, or even The Economist. i have to check out the dictionary to get the meanings of words you use! Goodness, I think you can score SAT Vocab test easily!

your praising sounds delusive. in the arena, i dont think i could even stand out like a waiter. man.. you all were far more elegant and smarter than me on the night. truly, this kind of formal thingy really not my stuff. if i were given a choice now, i would choose not to go. haha.

not to say i didnt enjoy. it's just not my taste. girls were all bordering on attracting guys and just hoping to get the most attention. to me, natural beauty of a girl still is the most attractive. i would say, if i dare and were to be a bit indecent, to most of the girls "gosh.. next time dont waste time and effort to make up and dress up as if you are Jennifer Aniston.." LOL man!

anyway, my junior, Winnie told me, i cant put the blame on all the girls. Girls, naturally, want to be pretty and will make themselves as pretty as possible though they are not. haha. Rachel was very pretty on that night.. as last time, I know only how to use the phrase "simply lovely".. haha..

in conclusion, the winner still goes to T-shirt plus shorts plus Japanese slippers and one leg up on the chair with teh tarik or tea at "ah pek" chinese coffee shop or mamak!!! cheers!!!

HOW do you KNOW you LOVE someone ? - someone whom I love deeply asked me that.

I was at a loss for words to answer that. How do I describe the feelings so profound inside in WORDS ?


Anyone can help me?

Yesterday night was my faculty annual dinner, which aka Cybernite. As earlier as 5pm, I got clad with the smartest suits - an elegant black coat matching with a luminous teal trousers, plus the inner pale shirt in khaki colour as well as the yellow tie with stitches embroidery. Then, I wore a branded fragrance with some sprays as well on my shirt and suits.

Thanks to Lenny who was kind enough to come far from her stay to fetch me. Albeit we departed at about 7pm, but we dumped into traffic congestion near Jalan Parlimen and Jalan Pudu, and finally we needed nearly an hour to reach the de luxe Istana Hotel. Luckily the ceremony hadn't started, just because our VVIP - deputy vice cansellor and our faculty dean were also stucked in the middleway.

I took into action, mingling with other guests, where majority of them were my coursemate or faculty mate too. Ha.. it did not come to my astonishment when they appeared themselves to be the best abd ravishing attire with idiosyncratic mode of hairstyles, as well as their flamboyant persona. My friend Adam, dressed up himself with a totally black appearance, with a self-made "stunning" hair with maroon edges; while my another coursemate, Sheir Ling - appeared as an intriguing elegant ceature, with longish hair with a deep fringe veiling her right face, wearing a single dazzling ear-ring on her left. The other gals also made themselves as majestic as possible, mostly wearing the satin plain evening gown, and some were with embroidered imprints and shiny baubles or corsages. Some of them had dressed up with strapless silk ballgown too and undoubtedly these groups became the centres of attention as cameras clicked away. Further afield I managed to observe some ladies who captivated the others with their kimono or chinese oriental cheongsam. Guys however, as usual, got clad with a smart suits or long-sleeves shirts. For Teong, he emerged himself with a rakish appearance, yet still looked smart and austere.

The ceremony was started as the arrival of VVIP, underpinned by an exciting soundtrack as our warmest welcome. After our VVIP having their speeches, the opening ceremory was done by our DVC by leaving his autograf on the board. The next agenda - multimedia presentation immediately caught into my attention, with the reason that I used to be one of the committee last year, and was given the honour as the head of multimedia biro in charging of the 3D multimedia presentation. So, this year's presentation gave my another undescriptable feeling while I watched it. Yup, the spectacle was really enthralling and it ended with the audience's loud applause.

Our dining was started then. Frankly said that the foods were not exquisite enough to cater my savour in spite of its five-star vintage hotel status. With this reason, I just appetised a little, and acted as so busybody, wandering around from table to table, and rubbing shoulders with all my pals. My attendance was tangibly cheering up the environment and the jubilation was absolutely pervading the atmosphere.

It was my utmost honour also as I garnered the prestigious best third year acedemic award from DVC. As I strolled towards the stage, I was really touched and my tears almost welled up in the eyes as I could feel the warmest applause and unstinting supports from all my friends. My heart was brimming with gratitude because my perseverance had prevailed. But nevertheless, I pledge to myself not to be complacent, instead, I will continue my hard work as my endless thankfulness to everyone who had helped me a lot and picked me up when I was vulnerable and despair.

As the ceremony came to the end, as usual, it was the time that we walked around to take photographs with friends for memorable experience as we will graduate soon in March and everybody will definitely set their pace to the auspicious job respectively. Ya, I took in a deluge of photos, gesturing or striking my trademark-pose, which might be tantalising too, haha..

It was an ultimate extravaganza, and that's why I never miss out it for the last three year, especially this year was my last time to participate in it. Likewise, my hope came true as this lavish affair ended with a happy full stop for me.

After Najib's appointment as the DPM and Cabinet reshuffle, surely most of us heard of this enduring staff - Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop - a governmental staff who has been working in Malaysia finance backbone for more than few decades.

I'm actually lack of idea in getting know this person, as his name was just emerged tremendously after the Cabinet reshuffle. To every political aficionado, the post of Finance Minister II is predicted remained unchange, or there will be the possibility taken over by other senior minister cum politician. But coming to everyone's astonishment, this nation financial advisor, who had been one of our former PM's shrewed assistant, had been given the honour to take over this prestigous position.

Anyway, our PM political acumen in choosing a non-political staff as his assistant is undoubtedly a wise choice. Moreover, the decision of not sending Nor Mohamed as a candidate for the coming election is reasonale too because Abdullah just hopes that he can concentrate in paramount economic continuum and ensure our economy performance continuing its outperform against the backdrop of an overall global recovery.

The nation economic solidity is sticked firmly with the performance of country's finance sailor. He must be shrewed and discerning to take into action with any nascent change in economic vibrancy, currency speculators' attacks, market strengths and weaknesses, buoyant market share, country's liquidity et cetera. Based on his previous vast experience in monitoring country economy, including his enormous contribution during 1997/98 Malaysia economic crisis, where he assisted Tun Dr. Mahathir in adopting another economic self-recovery strategies and totally turned off IMF monetary assistance, Tan Sri is believed the right person in playing a pivotal role for country economic modernisation. With a rosy expectation, Tan Sri is poised to rejunevate a better economic blueprint to allow Malaysia performing as an onshore economic player in Southeast Asia and Asia, or even throughout the world.

Keep up the good work.



January 19 - result coming?

Last night, I paid a visit to my first-year roommate who stayed with me in the second residential college last two year. Actually this splendid visit was not planned as normally I would go back home after my spree in library. I went there with the reason of a black luminant coat for my cybernight attire, which supposingly suit to my "slim" body. My ex-roommate, Saim had pledged to ask it from his senior, nevertheless, I need to back again since his senior was not around.

We had a longish time of not been sitting down relaxingly and chatting with buoyant mood. I could still vividly remember that we frequently "crooned" throughout the night, lying in comfy bed respectively, and sharing each previous intriguing experiences and future rosy outlooks. Our topic of conversatiosn were varied from the global issues, politics sentiment, domestic affairs, IT gadgets, fashions, celebrities' rumours etc until personal revelation of friendship, studies and love. Most of the time we came out to a point of consensus, albeit we occasionally passed by a new paradigma which was abandoned unsolved. However, our genuine friendship will never be chipped away, as both of us are understandably expressing our gratitude and believing of fate to live under the same root.

As in last serene night, I could notice his steady maturity in terms of his well personal brought up, as well as as his discerning impression, as time passed off. I'm not saying that he is immature last time, but relatively, he was somewhat appeared to be aplomb, calm confident and shrewed. His keen in exploring world of investment, business, market shares and the way he performed his astute opinions with vast vigorous points are the testaments of his natural mettle. He is not the dude who sits on the same bench with other timid "bookworms", but I can sense his enthusiasm in finding his own stardom based on his natural charismatic tunes. His thoroughgoing analysis on govermental mega projects like postponed RM14.5bil double-railed project, Bakun issues and other epitomisations was really enthralled.

Haha.. but as usual, his room was still in messy - the books were hurled on the table, and unnecessary papers were "clogged" in his rustic book frame. But me too with the same environment.. That's why we are good partner!

After some witty enecdotes and jests in cheerful mood, finally I came across with his articulation of default problems that is believable faced by most of the final-year students who will graduate soon. He unveiled that there are still hundreds of uncertainties of which "pace" to move forth for a guaranteed auspicious beginning. Currently, He is an avid market observer and analyst who prevails an amidrable enthusiasm on investment, or he is locked in a paradox of investment climate which demonstrates a rollar- coaster ups and downs. My advice to him was - adhere to his interests with unswearving efforts because every clinched decision will sees its sunny and splendid weather after the glooms pass off.

It was a nice talk with him. Ganbatte my friend!

It is 12.52 o'clock in the morning now. The day of Wednesday was so taxing for me, as I just manage to tuck under my comfy chair for this time, which come to the end of the day and I'm allowed to have a total relaxation physically and mentally, and start my blog in this secene and humid night.

I was out for school in the early of the morning at 8am, for checking email, blogging, reading a delightful news of our newly anointed Deputy Prime Minister, yet my good friend here seems not very keen on him, with certain reasons. Me, personally, is quite optimistic with this steady pace of Malaysia second man selection, which indicating the imminence of the coming General Election, and there will my first voting responsibility after registering as the voters 2 years ago.

At about 9am, I headed to Perdanasiswa for a meeting with the staff of Education Sponsorship Unit (ESU), Petronas. My primary concern is regarding with my future as a IT student under certain contractual circumstances, in getting a position in Petronas after my graduation in the end of February. Pn Normala Samsuddin, the head of ESU had reckoned clearly, which ensuring an auspicious outlook for the deserved scholars.

The rest of the time was infused with sudden yet acceptable shocks. I came through the notice stating that I will have my 2 final paper on 9 and 14Feb, and the last paper falls on 1Mac. Besides this, My supervisor had also revealed the exact date for my viva rehearsal and official viva, which fall on 16Jan and 5Feb respectively. I feel a sense of vast relief of getting know all my preps corresponding with the dates so that I can re-arrange my messy schedular management more systematically. But the weeks before and after CNY will be seemless busy and taxing, which lingering around the thesis, assignments, final papers revision and viva preparation.

My relentless tiredness is likely disallowing me to do anything. My saturated mind can't be even stored a single wee particle at this particular moment. I need to rest for my next splendid journey. The watch shows 1.25 in the morning. It is the time for me to plough into my soggy slumberland or I'll late for my 8am french class then..

and I thought Badawi was smart..................


Najib is BAD NEWS of the new year.


Considering migration or let's just hope he doesn't get re-elected. Don't ask me why I don't like him, my pure political instinct is telling me Badawi just made a stupid mistake. But then again, there are not many good choices around.

Below was an excerpt forwarded by Ai Gaik last week. I found it is quite amusing yet meaningful, which vividly reflects happenings around us day by day. Have a glimpse on it and let it energises you a minute.

"Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life (at least the way u react to situations) What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane being late in arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.

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

Let's use an example.

You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt.You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus.

Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 (traffic fine) away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?

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

The answer is D. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened.

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

Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how you REACTED.

You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction. Here are some says to apply the 90/10 principle.

If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a frind, being fired, getting stressed out etc. How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? (A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure rocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work?

Why let the cars ruin your drive? Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it. You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated?

It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job. The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passengers. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it.

The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle. The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartaches. There never seem to be a success in life.

Bad days follow bad days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening. There is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. Worry consumes time. Anger breaks friendships and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do not be discouraged. You can be different! Understand and apply the 90/10 principle. It will change your life."

So... the point is we must smartly equip ourselves with emotional quotient, to affectionately control our surrounding, with passion and tolerence. An angry tirade ends up with fuss-up, which is meaningless to everyone..

School started today, for UM people as well as all the primary and secondary schools' students, but nevertheless, I have numbed my feeling of excitement or jubilation. I still need to embrace the times and the earth is still rotating. Everything is prevalently passed off and there was no freaky monday, except the NASA group in California sending off the robotic features as farthest afield to Mars for any living breakthrough.

As usual, I arrived at school as early as 8 o'clock in the morning to carry on my tedious thesis, after my short yet invigorating semester break. I understand that it is pointless to grumble as what I have postulated - everything will be fine and everyone still needs to work with sweat and toil with their never-ending assignments no matter how boring the life is. Thank god that I finished my mid-term exams before the vacation, and hence - what a consolatory relief for me to face the daily hectic life being a third-year IT student. But nevertheless, I was kinda enervating to start off my works also, with my heart wandering out of direction.

After switching on the computer, and getting online, I feel a bit ashamed while reading my good friend fooji's short yet eloquent message, which expressed his heartfelt thankfulness to someone who came along with him before. My humiliation, due to the great contract between my previous dissatisfaction and turbulence with his gratefulness and sincerity, was internally told off in my mind.

Sometimes, we might think that we should be grateful of all the givings to us - the peace, the health, a happy family, the love, and the prosperity. But, when we are greatly dissolved ourselves into the real life, we will unsconsciously be trucked by some freaky events, or some unsavoury languages, or even get grouchy and disheartened by self weak spots - such as lack of confidence, timid and lunatic action, dilemma et cetera. Being in that circumstances, our soul of gratefulness is chipped away and begun enveloping with complaints which pervade in every nook and cranny.

There is no impeccable creature in this planet, that's why the world we live is so turbulent, with its money-obsessed citizens. But, if we are grateful and moderate almost all the time, we are categorised as the luckiest group..

There are nice people around......

Yeah, there are jerks and there are losers. I have been complaining about my own unworthiness, and a very good friend of mine, a beloved sister Jun Ai reminded me that God created us and said that it was good (Genesis 1:26 ?)
So, if God said it Himself that we are worthy, why do we bring down ourselves? Why do we condemn ourselves? We are created in Him, by Him, and for Him. Therefore, we are worthy.

I am really touched for the past week, the year-ending week which has been a blessing.
I thank the Chongs family, especially Jun Ai for their love, and support and for their kind welcome to their house
I thank the church in PJ for a nice year-ending gathering. WOw, it was the first time, I got so close to a fireworks display!!
I thank Boon Teong for being sooo nice and generous about the phone. TGIF it must be, one day..... can bring others but I am only paying for you, ahahaa!!!!!

I thank my friends who are caring and sensitive to see the frown and cheer it up....

I thank the bloggers who dropped in their wishes and sweeties in my previous post. You guys really cheered me up, this ailing tauke !!!

GOd bless you all,....

and Kar Kin, let's give the AMTB guy a sweet smile, just to spite him,....hahaha....

Love,

8TV will be officially on airwave on the 8Jan, which recently its advertisements have been posted so frequent in both print and mass media in order to captivate public attention with its coming. On the other word, the competition among the broadcasting industries will be more fierce. Until now, we have a total of 5 television channels, including 2 government television broadcasts TV1 and TV2, while TV3, ntv7 as well as the recently launched Channel 9 are among the private free-to-air tv broadcasts. Besides this, the market cake has been also sliced to direct-to-home satellite broadcast Astro. With the presence of another new player, undoubtedly the market will be directly segregated based on citizens' favours and interests respectively, making the competition more intense yet apparently becoming citizen's delight of being given more options.

The previous crashed-and-burned Mega TV and Metrovision seem never dampen the new comers' enthusiasm to embark on their airwaves. Both Channel 9 and 8TV had revealed that their main customer group will lie in young adults who age between 15 to 35-year-old, and urban market, where this group currently stands at 40% of the Malaysia total population. There will have an ample room for fresh competitors to thrive over a long-run, according to 8TV Chief Operating Officer Ahmad Izham Omar and Channel 9 Chief Executive Officer Jamal Hassim simultaneously.

Channel 9, since its operation on 9Sep last year, has been demonstrating a superb performance, and successfully find their savour to enthrall the targeted citizens based on their meticulous orchestrated campaign; meanwhile 8TV with its slogan sounds "We're different" arrogantly unveils that they will give a total different vibe to the audiences. Let's wait patiently on its magical strategies in sustaining and staying reliably in the broadcasting industry.

Paper said that the television advertising commands only about 26% of a total advertising revenue, and according to the survey, the viewerships have been declined in a spiralling downward since the year 1998. Hence, there are hundreds of questions strring in my mind about their other sources of revenue and my curiousity is so intense about their profit and turnover..

The Amitb guy is back on action!

Yes, after his unknown times of pasting notice in front of the main rustic door, which giving "achtung" to those who are "no-manners" and don't show their majestic courtesy with the following of their "hons" when pay a visit, now he is back on action to paste another notice with even more "achtung" to house tenants.

This time needs much sober attention as he declared his theory as Terms and Conditions. The list of 6 rules must be obeyed or the tenant will be set off, as he stated that the his privileged right reservation to order someone who is "disobedient" to shift out within 2 weeks! Marmamiya! What's the two-month deposits for as you can misuse the privilege to kick someone off whenever you like. It's the act of a tyrant, or an evil in disguise.

In his notice, he had used unsavoury and coarse words, reflecting a testament to his monstrous behaviour and unsatisfaction. In order to accentuate how sore he was, he highlighted or made capital letters or bolded some "key points" to pronounce the effects. It is much offensive while you are hoping others to show their well-manners so that their family can proud of them, likewise you somewhat might be echoed as the one whose family will feel humiliated on your cocky!

I don't think I am 100% correct to denounce much here, as I hope to stay there in harmony, or at least no embarrassment while we encounter face-to-face. Albeit the 6 rules stated are more adherent to my roommate, but I wonder whether it is the best way of problem-solving. Sometimes I might fathom his situation, but why not settle any dispute in a round table and come out with the consensus, instead of writing those soundless warnings. If we really hope for "Amitahba", it should be entrenched in deep-seated mindset and be a well brought up human being, and not writing the slogan anywhere arrogantly.

I adopt a hands-off appoach in facing this circumstance, to shrug off any criticism..

One of my new year resolution is to have good health. And for this purpose, hill hiking become one of my spending spree at dusk. But, I need to have a swift action of my exercise plan when I was back to KL yesterday night, especially when school starts on coming Monday, where I will be burdened or prepped with lot of works. Thus, I opt for morning jogging at UM campus 3-4 times per week, which the days fall to Wednesday or Friday and during weekend.

This morning was too comfy for me to wake up from my soggy bedroom. My alarm rang at 7am but I defered my daily routine after half an hour because I missed my bed very much. After taking up my sport shoe, I rode off my way to campus.

It was quite late when I arrived the exercise spot at 8.20am, which near to Second residential college. The wheather was getting hotter and less humid. Without any delay and warm-up exercise, I started jogging along the roadside. After resting for 2 days without any exercise, I was poised to finish the whole campus route, with my ludicrous thought. My legs became enervating when I reached my second turn from Perdanasiswa to Science faculty. Phew! I was totally out of the blue. I can't believe that with the absence of any companion, I was so lacklustre to propel myself to run. Both my legs became "disobedient" apparently, urging their master to hail immediately. My breathe was still normal without exhausted, but both legs were too enervating to proceed. Thus, I stopped jogging when I reached somewhere near third college. I didn't even have any motivation to stride uphill and finally I ended up with a turn back.

What is the problem? I don't fathom. I expect myself to be strived off harder especially my marvelleous training when I went for hiking last time. I could hike "4-2" with non-stop and steady paces. After reaching the relaxing station, I even can proceed myself to "Garden". After a short break and long inhale of the fresh air on the windswept horizontal ground, I even could do 20-minutes jogging around the circle lane which is near by, before it came to my enormous satisfaction of beading sweat. But, to my astonishment, I hardly feel the sense of complacency of dropping countable sweat due to my lacklustre performance this morning.

I guess the missing part of warm-up session is the key of my poor effort. Last time, I need to walked a quite far distance to reach "4-2" entrance. Obviously, my muscle were amply warmed-up before I started my hard journey.

I have spotted a place nearby which is quite suitable for me to jog. Riding back to campus is not so encouraging because my body will re-absorb the beaded sweat when I'm on my way back home, besides petrol comsuption and time consuming.

After having an invigorating shower, I feel much rejuvenated. And I can carry on my daily work with high spirit and tangibly it will much effective.
