F@&*ing busy...

the title says it all... damn...

birthday in genting

although i'm blogging bout it pretty late, but the memory is still as fresh as though it was just yest... on the 3rd of dec, ly and i went to genting to catch the michael bolton concert. actually, she bought the tickets and booked the room for the night as a surprise birthday gift for me... =) thank you!

i was just as excited as she was coz this is the first time we'll be spending the night together, just the both of us... furthermore, i've never been to any concert before and michael bolton is a pretty good concert for my first experience...

anyway, we left kl at about 3pm and we reached the genting first world hotel at about 5. once checked in, i saw a spectacular view where we could actually see the whole amusement park from our room...

this is the only clear pic that i could manage where the view is not covered in fog... genting is still by far the best amusement park in malaysia...

after a quick dinner that night, we made it to the arena of stars and waited in anticipation. michael bolton did not disappoint with his 2 hour performance and sang most of my favorites like go the distance, when a man loves a woman, how am i suppose to live without you and etc... till today i'm still in the concert mood - my mp3 player is still filled with his songs...

anyway, if you notice the pic above, you'll see two shots of a lady... man... you've gotta see her to know wat i mean... the way she danced, the way she moved... just so damn sexy! =)

during the second half of the concert, they actually allowed us to approach the stage and it is pretty obvious if you look at the crowd - the gals mainly couldn't take their eyes off michael bolton and the guys? they were surrounding this dancer to take a photo of her... and obviously, i'm guilty of that too... =)

well, enough of the sexy lady... =) the pic above is taken in our room (left) and also in the cable car ride on the way down from genting (right)...

that night, after the concert, we went out for a drink and spent the night talking... it's been a while since we really talked, you know? i've always been so busy with my uni and time is always so limited...

time actually flew by that night and before we know it, it's morning and time to leave... =(

but it's not all gloomy! we actually had 2 coupons for a buffet lunch and we decided to use them before we return home... and you should see the look on her face when we saw all the food waiting for us! hahaha... like a kid opening her present on christmas morning (she's gonna kill me for this)... =)

we filled our appetite till we couldn't eat a bite more and this time, it's really time to leave... although there was a pang of sadness but i was still happy as this is one of the best birthday presents i've ever received... =)

bye bye genting... till next time... =)

personalized night lamp

remember i mentioned working on some small projects during the holidays? well this is one of my mini project which i managed to complete... nothing really special, just a simple home made night lamp... =)

these are the tools and materials used for my own personalized night lamp...

a simple square lashing to hold the frame together... no nails!

after about a week, this is the finished product. didn't turn out as nice as i thought it would be, but what the heck... it's my own work... btw, this project cost me a mere + rm 30 and if i'm not mistaken, a lamp like this (aesthetics value notwithstanding) costs about rm 100 in ikea... so there you have it... =)

back to school

blogging from my uni, today's just my second day back in uni and i'm already feeling tired. i know i say this everytime we start a new semester but the fact is that it is getting worse with each passing semester - i've lost the zest to continue studying.
somehow, studying here doesn't seem as interesting as it used to be during my first semester. maybe because that's all i've been doing for the past 3 years - studying. although the subjects get tougher with each passing year, the surrounding gets more cramped as well.
someone told me it's because of the lack of recognition here. it doesn't matter if u score an A or a D, no one gives a damn. personally, i dun care bout that although i have to admit sometimes it disappoints me. all this while i use this speech instead, "you should be studying for yourself, your future. getting an A should give you all the satisfaction any reward will give... blablabla...", ok... i admit it sounds crappy but that's the best i can come up with.
my main prob - i still dun feel at home here. especially when i'm alone. ah... such a simple word but yet so, so very cold. alone. after 3 years in this uni, sometimes i still find myself sitting alone, waiting for time to flash by but as it always is, the seconds ticked by ever so slowly. it's just frustrating.
i dun think of the past anymore. not as much as i used to anyway. but not thinking of the past doesn't make the present any better as well... damn...
anyway, i guess i'll stop here...i just needed to let some steam out. i'm not complaining bout my life and i definitely do appreciate my life as it is. and i'm sure i'll start enjoying my studies again... i just dunno when...

ps: i expected to be bombarded for my thoughts on the previous blog but i guess i was wrong...

nude lady doing ear-squats

i'm sure everyone knows bout this incident by now. it has been widely spread and criticized since the day the video was captured. my personal opinion? it has been blown out of proportion and i think all opinions heard on the media is ill-judged. in simpler language - never listen to just one side of the story. i mean, this incident was reported by an mp and not even by the lady involved.
i have seen the video and certain things have caught my attention. it has been said that this lady is abused and her rights were violated. so before i watched the clip, i assumed the lady would look frightened, ashamed, lost and etc. but i was surprised to see that she was calm and composed.
i'm not writing this blog to judge anyone. i'm not here to say that what the police did was wrong/right. all i'm saying is that there is always two sides to a story. and we haven't even heard one side of it yet. who is that lady? what crimes have she committed? no one knows. as for the police, i'm sure they could come up with a pretty good explanation of the incident although i'm not sure if it will be accepted by the public.
this reminds me of the days when i was in vi. in the scout group that i was involved in, there is this orientation that all members had to go through at the end of form 3 - from boy scouts to seniors. for us, that orientation is a necessity. a tradition that must be upheld. although some seniors have misused their authority and turned the orientation into their own sick means to torture others, this orientation is nevertheless an important essence in the tradition of our scout troop. i can understand that because i was part of the troop. but good luck explaining it to others. outsiders would never understand the need for such a tradition.
i'm getting a little bit off-tracked here. anyway, all i wanna say is that the manner in which the police handle criminals should be left to the police to decide. that's why we shouldn't turn to crime right? as long as you don't do anything wrong, you wouldn't be in custody and your rights wouldn't be violated. you expect to be a criminal and still have your rights defended/ protected? no. the police should have the upper hand in this.

ps: however, i have to add that getting caught like that - allowing someone the opportunity to record the whole incident on video is just plain stupid. at least have the brains to do it somewhere no eyes can see.

emily rose

i watched emily rose the other day with ly and i think it's a show worth mentioning. especially now that it's 3 am... hehehe... those who have watched it should know wat i mean...
i dun find the show really scary like those old freddy kruger (21st elm street and etc) horror films but the images in the movie is somehow really disturbing. it scared ly enough all right... =)
comparing it with all the horror flicks shown lately, this definitely stands out. the acting is pretty outstanding and the story does make you wonder. are you a true believer and strong to your faith? and if you do not believe in gods, well, watch the movie and decide...
to those who have watched it - "one two three four five SIX!"
muahahahaha...

good and bad...

plenty has happened since i last posted.
sat (19/11) - man utd says goodbye to one of the best players to have ever played for the club. roy keane, the epitome of everything man utd stands for. he is the old school midfielder which is a rare species these days. hard tackling, no-nonsense is his game. at his prime, he was a box-to-box player who feared no one and even at his age now, he does not shirk from a tackle. a true leader and a fighter. he will be missed. and let us remember him for all that he has done for the club.
sun (20/11) - on a positive note, i went to watch the A1 GP in the afternoon and it was a hell lot of fun! it is no match for F1 for sure but the race is more exciting in A1 and with the right kinda publicity, it will surely be one of the best race series to come. i mention publicity because sadly, the turnout was dismal. i dun think the grandstand was even filled to 30% of its capacity.
as for alex yoong's performance, he came in 5th and that's not a bad try considering team malaysia beat team usa, japan and great britain - teams from countries that are technologically more advanced compared to malaysia. but you know wat's the best part of it all? the support! oh yeah, we got behind alex and we were loud and clear about it! when he came into the pits after the race, the cheers of “malaysia boleh!” rang out as though he has just won the race... and the feeling of unity among fellow malaysians was overwhelming... =)
on the other hand, after returning home from sepang, i went for a game of futsal with my friends. after a really long break from the game, this would be only my 2nd game after last weekend. and after playing for bout 30 minutes, i had a collision and as i fell on my sprained ankle, i heard 3 loud "cracks". i dunno how to explain that noise but it was definitely followed by pain! damn, it's been a while since i felt that amount of pain. i retired from the game and i had difficulty walking after that.
mon(21/11) - when i woke up, there was a sudden rush of pain in my leg which almost brought tears. so i decided to pay a visit to the chinese doctor. after 2 hours of waiting, it was finally my turn but the moment he touched my ankle, i had no idea why i even bothered waiting. it hurts like hell! according to him, my ankle was out of position. dislocated i guess. and after massaging for bout 20 minutes and assuring me that the pain was all over, he pulled a stunt which i will not forget for some time. i dunno wat he did but he twisted and pulled my ankle to get it back into position. i thought i was gonna pass out. damn. although at the moment, my ankle actually does feel much better, i still dun feel thankful yet. maybe i'll thank him later when i can forget the pain.
and things just go from bad to worse. when i checked my e-mail later that night, i realized that the philips young inventor's challenge result was out. yup. you guessed it. i wasn't in. but wat pissed me out was the fact that out of the 15 semi-finalists, 12 came from the same uni. i dun wanna mention names here but something doesn't feel right. i dunno. after so many tries in all the engineering comp, all this failure is starting to make me feel kinda small. am i no good at all? damn once more.

ps: i actually got my result for last semester during the past couple of days too but i forgot when. it's better than i expected but recent events have dampened my mood to celebrate.

A1... here i come! =P

got myself a couple of the A1 GP grandstand tickets today from alex yoong through uniten... kinda excited although it is a lower league race compared to F1. but wat the heck, malaysia's in it! so, alex, do the nation proud.

ps: i'm gonna bring the jalur gemilang along to sepang. yeah! malaysia boleh! =)

platonic relationship - an impossible task?

this issue has always been talked about, studies and psychological review has been done and it even appeared in newspaper columns several times over the past year. the million dollar ques - can't a guy and a gal have a normal friendship without getting emotionally involved?

why is it that whenever a guy and gal develops a close friendship, rumors must spread about their "relationship"? can't they just be frens?

yeah, i know bout the lust and sexual desire argument. but come on. dun tell me everytime a guy gets close to a gal, it will send his hormones raging?

anyway, i think that it is possible for a guy and a gal to remain frens, close frens without getting emotionally/ sexually involved. i really do believe that.

...

went out with my mum yest. went to ikea and to mid valley after that. actually went outlooking for furniture to refurbish my room but couldn't find any that really suited my room/ needs so just ended up strolling around. as i settled down for lunch with my mum, i realized 2 things.

1 - ppl these days dun seem to be working. it was a monday evening (bout 3 or 4) and mid valley was basically crowded with adults/ teenagers/ kids. is there a money printing plant somewhere that i dun know about?

2 - this is more emotional. i saw a few groups of teenage friends hanging out, having a good laugh and i realized it's been a while since i did that with my frens. come to think of it, there's not many frens which i could just call up for a movie or a drink when i want to. most of the 'frens' i know these days are 'study based'. in other words, we meet in class and that's where our friendship starts and ends. maybe it's me being antisocial. but still, i really miss those times when i went out with my frens for movies, drinks, a game of pool, the rare bowling session and talk bout everything under the sky (mostly crap, but still fun)...

at times, i know we've gotta move on and let the past remain in the past. but sometimes i can't help wondering - where has it all gone wrong? since when fun was replaced by boredom. since when i turned from a carefree teenager into a young adult with responsibilities?

these days, i talk more through my comp and sms. even phone conversation has been slashed down, not to mention face to face conversation. i tell you, technology and expectation is killing social life. slowly but surely.

i miss the old days. maybe it's time to do something bout it. i'll start by sending a couple of mails to some of my closest frens whom i haven't meet in a long time.

ps: i've been in a crappy mood the whole day. no idea why.

back again!

it feels like i've been away for months! i've been wanting to blog but i just couldn't find the time/opportunity till now. anyway, a quick update - another semester has come and gone. my finals actually ended on the 26th last month. after the finals, i had a phillips competition proposal to finish up. the results should be out in about two weeks so i won't say much bout it for now.
that was promptly followed by a family vacation to penang (30/10-3/11). that holiday was relaxing and although i've been to penang almost every year, i'd say that was probably the best vacation i've had with my family there. i'll have some pics posted soon.
once i was back in kl, i started working on some small projects to fill my time and that was when my comp decided to call in sick. damn. life without my pc does prove to be torrid. i just got my pc back yest and now life is back to the way it's supposed to be (ok, i'm exaggerating - sue me). so, that kinda covers all that happened in the past 2 weeks. for the details on my "mini" project, i'll post it another day. hopefully it'll be completed enough fro me to post some pics too... just hope i dun get to lazy to type.
right now, i just wanna say something (it's rather outdated but i dun care!) - chelsea, that's how football is played! muahahaha... dun feel so special anymore mourinho? you've got your billions but u can't beat a team consisting of mainly teenagers. and this is a man utd which is considered by far the weakest in comparison to the past teams which ruled the EPL. i've gotta admit that feels so good. although man utd did not display any scintillating form, they did just enough to beat chelsea. a team which many claimed to be invincible in the EPL. however, i've still got my foot on the ground. although man utd did beat chelsea, i'll be the first to admit, chelsea still has the better team. but i dun think that chelsea will run away with the title this season. and i've got my fingers crossed that come may, it won't be chelsea sitting at the top of the table. =)

that's all for now. now that i'm back and since it's my holidays, i hope i'll start blogging more consistently. for these last 2 weeks of my holidays at least.

my gf and me

i love you

good and bad

i probably shouldn't even be blogging at a time like this. i've still got 2 papers coming up (on mon and wed). however, i just wanna spend some time away from my books.

anyway, i watched the match between man utd and tottenham just now and i guess the result (1-1) was justified. man utd played like they didn't want to win that match and now, they just pushed chelsea further up the league table. but there was one particular moment which made me think - things might change for man utd. near the end of the match, with bout 15 minutes to go, ferguson made a switch which reminded me of the old man utd. he took out bardsley (right back) and played rossi (striker) so effectively, for 15 minutes, man utd played with an attacking formation of 3-4-3!

the way the season started, man utd have been playing a little bit too defensive (the ill famed 4-5-1). especially in games which they could have and should have won by a huge margin. this is not the man utd i started supporting in 96/97. the man utd i knew cared very little bout their defensive record. coz they knew if they let in 2 goals, they would score 3. if they concede 3, they'll go on and score 4. u get the idea. there was an air of confidence around man utd.

but not this season. although they've got arguably one of the best strikeforce in the epl with ruud, rooney and ronaldo (okay, he's not really a striker but his skills are amazing), they seem to hesitate too much in front of goal. wat's wrong with them? i dunno (if i knew, i wouldn't be sitting here). but wat ferguson did today might spark a change in man utd's approach to games this season - i just hope it's not a one time tactic.

ok. back to my books.

going for battle

this is gonna be my last post for the next 2 weeks (gonna have my finals). i have no idea why but this semester, i seem to be slightly under more pressure than the previous semesters... just want to get the papers over with and seriously, a part of me doesn't care anymore about my grades. if i score, great. if i dun - sue me. i really dun care.

ps: this is the pressure talking.

freakin busy

i know it's been a while since my last post but what the heck, i've just been so damn bloody busy! i can't emphasize enough on how busy i've been... my finals is starting in 10 days, and i've got tests every week for the past 4 weeks in a row and still i've got a test next tues... man, i'm flat tired.

to add to all the tests and finals looming close, i've got a mini project to handle as well... and it involves solving a 22x22 matrix! what the @#$%... the mini project itself requires us to use a new software which we've gotta learn (easy as it is, it's still time consuming)... and now we gotta learn another software just to solve that bloody matrix...

not to mention i'm not prepared for the finals at all... hell, i'm screwed!

stolen pic

here's a picture of the stage of STOMP. i call it the stolen pic coz that's wat it is... =) they don't actually allow us to take any kind of pictures or do any recordings of the show... probably coz they're afraid someone will steal the idea or something... but what the heck, i just want this pic for the memory... at the end of the show, quite a number of the audience tried to take a pic of the stage and i only managed this one shot before we all got chased out of the theatre... hehehe... =)

stomp

went to watch STOMP last thurs with ly... didn't have much (or should i say didn't know wat to expect) expectation coz this is my first experience watching a theatre performance (not to mention a musical percussion) at the istana budaya... i remember watching a theatrical play at the actor's studio once, back in form five and it was pretty much fun as far as i can remember... it was a play performed by some classmates and a local production...

anyway, this was highly rated by the media, the ads looked good and well, it's about music and loud noise - so it must be fun right?

so... last thurs, after class, i went over to fetch her and we headed down to the istana budaya... they had this student rush promotion where you get to buy any tickets for rm77 (student price) if you purchased them 30 minutes before the show... and that kinda suits me as i'm never early to any function... hehehe...

anyway, we got seats which was about 5 rows from the stage and it was awesome! not just the performance... everything was so different... even the crowd seems more sophisticated (well, from their appearance at least... and we all know appearance can be deceiving)...

and the performance... well... where do i start... it's gonna be tough trying to describe the performance with words but i'll just try with the one performance which in my honest opinion, i thought was superb...

they switched of the lights in the whole arena and it was pitch black... then all 8 members of STOMP came on stage (well, we can't actually see them) and they held out a lighter each... you know those metal kinds with caps on them? well, they actually created music just by flicking open and closing the metal caps making "clicking" sound... and they add to the experience by lighting the lighter so it's a feast to our ears and eyes... that for me was just sublime...

and the finale was wat we all came to watch... loud, loud, loud noise! hahaha... all the hitting and stomping around... they received a fully deserved standing ovation at the end of the show...

in the end, it was worth every bit of the 77 bucks that we paid... a great night out... =)

ps: it was the first time i went to such an outing with her and i must say, it's a nice way to spend the night together...

afraid

maybe afraid is too strong a word for this post but i can't think of any other suitable word to describe my feelings right now...

well, the situation is such - i'm in my third year of studies in uniten and this current semester is nearing its end. after this, i'll have another 3 semesters to complete and that will be the end of my life as a student!

i know this situation will come sooner or later but i guess i've always thought it will be later you know? always pushing it back... always thinking it's still a long way to go... but now that it's so near, it's freaking me out.

i mean all our years as a student, we just basically followed the crowd in everything we do. after primary school, why did i go to VI? coz they say it's a good school, that's why. after completing my studies in VI, why did i further my studies in uniten? coz that's what everyone is doing - some degree or another...

but now... after this, where do i go? what happens after i got my degree? everything won't be the same anymore... i'll have a job, i'll have monthly income, i'll have extra responsibility... and that is IF i can land a job in the first place... nothing is secured after this, nothing is for sure...

ps: i hate it when i don't know what's in store for me...

tv education

i was watching ed last night on astro, one of the few series which i try not to miss... nothing really special bout the show... i just find it entertaining and humorous, so it's a good one hour to spend every week... =)

yest's episode, the story was about the relationship of a couple who has been married for 25 years. now, the husband's 50th birthday is coming up soon and all he wanted for his birthday was 48 hours of freedom where he can eat anything he wanted, drink anything he wanted and do anything he wanted which includes he can sleep with any girl he manage to court during that 48 hours... and ed (the main character if you haven't guessed it) just ain't comfortable with the idea especially as the wife said yes with a condition - she must know everything that happened in that 48 hours...

how can she accept her husband's request?her reasoning is that he has been a wonderful husband and lover for the past 25 years and he deserves something in return. but most of all she said, they were best friends throughout that time. and now that her best friend wanted something for his 50th birthday, she is ready to sacrifice something to fulfill his wishes. even if it means hurting her own feelings...

where do you find a couple like that? lovers and best friends. we often hear bout it but we rarely see it. i know it's always important in a relationship where both sides remains true to each other, but the one thing that i really believe for a relationship to last, is for the couple to be best of friends. friends who share everything. friends who talk bout everything under the sky and pour out their feelings unfiltered. sure we hurt each other sometimes but we should always be able to talk things over.

once a couple loses that friendship, it is all over. once a couple shuts up and there's only silence in the relationship, then it's dead.

fight club

without realizing it, this is going to be my 75th entry since i started this blog more than a year ago (24 july 2004)... from the time when blogging was relatively unknown till now, the time when blogs attract spammers... =)

anyway, i've always contemplated on the essence of my writings... sometimes thinking it will bore the hell out of others, at times thinking that i sound like a kid who just wants his candy bar... but when i think about why i started this blog, all that doesn't matter... this blog is for myself and for those friends close to me... this is me, so if i do happen to bore you, well, i ain't holding a knife at your throat am i? =P

anyway, for this entry, i would just like to express a longing desire that i have always kept to myself... from when i was a kid, i've always wanted to fight... fist fight, street fighter style you know? no rules with bare hands...

sure i've been in fights before, but they're always so minor and it is usually broken up before any blood got spilled... i've never really been in a fight where i got bruised and bloodied before... and you know what? i want to get into a fight not to beat someone up, i want to be on the other end of the beating... the pain, the blood... something exhilarating bout that which i can't explain...

so there it is, my 75th entry... so much for all the talk bout the fight but i've gotta cut this entry short to return to my books...

ps: just because i have this desire for violence and pain and blood, it will NOT turn me into a serial killer or some thug...

simply fascinating...

my fascination for railway tracks and everything train continues... ain't it a perfect sight?

surreal pic...

a picture taken earlier this year (feb 2005) somewhere behind my grandma's house in penang. lovely view isn't it? so surreal, it doesn't feel like the world as we know it today... especially if we've been stuck in the heart of the city for the past 22 years...

feeling like crap...

it's the end of my one week semester break now and i feel like hell... i dunno what is it with me this time... i usually look forward to going back to uni, you know? something for me to do, something to fill my time with... but now... damn, i dun wanna continue studying...

at the start of my holidays, i've planned out tons of things to do... i figured this one week break would be perfect for me to catch up with my studies and do some stuff which i've put off for a long time... however, day after day went by and now the holiday is over, i've done nothing!

this morning, i woke up feeling terrible. i really wish i still have some time to burn so that i could just close my eyes and sleep again... but i couldn't... there's tons for me to do and no time to do it all...

maybe i'm just too bored/ tired with all the studying...

clear blue skies...

after days of enduring the horrible weather in kl marred by the worsening haze, mother nature decided to hit back... and she did so - with a vengeance...

it poured this morning for about 5 hours or so... and i haven't seen rain this heavy since god knows when. i just stood at the door of my house, witnessing nature cleansing itself. somehow, it feels so good. the strong winds... the smell of rain... ever so pleasing...

at the end of it all, the sky was crystal clear once more... =)

glory glory man utd!

feels like forever for the season to start. but wait no more - epl 2005/06 is here!
and for the first match of the season, man utd vs everton. felt like a drug addict getting his fix watching this match (although i have no idea how that actually felt like). glued to the tv for the whole match! =)
as for man utd, i dun think they'll have an outstanding season as they haven't really strengthen the squad. but i guess they'll be much stronger compared to last season and they'll be able to perform more consistently. with van der sar, at least their defense will be more reliable. and with rooney, ronaldo and van nistelrooy settling in with their partnership, things can only get better. my guess for this season? it'll be a two horse race between man utd and chelsea. arsenal will still be around but i dun think they'll be strong enough to challenge. and liverpool? they'll realise they were just plain lucky last season (especially in europe)... muahahahaha...
with that said, i really do wish man utd will finally strengthen their midfield. personally i feel it's the weakest part of the team and the most important. it's the link for the whole game! if the midfield is not running, it's like a car without it's engine. with ronaldo, fletcher, giggs, scholes and keane, they've got a good foundation to build the midfield around. but keane and scholes are almost past their prime. they need one or maybe two world-class midfield who can hold up play and pull the passes from the middle of the park. i say go get ballack!

=) just getting a little too excited at the start of the season, especially with things looking rosy for man utd...

picture gallery

i've always wanted to post these pics up (there's many more actually) but i've always procrastinated as usual... anyway, i dun really know in which order should i put it up.. whether for it to be viewed from up to down or down to up? so here's a guide:

the first four would be the mount kinabalu pics taken way back in january 2000 and it should be viewed in this order - long overdue pics, the living legends, sulfur bath and on top of the world...

the next four are a more recent pics of my trip to redang island (june 2005) and it should be viewed in this order (for no particular reason) - redang island, enjoying the breeze, breathtaking view and my favorite...

since right now i have difficulty expressing myself in words, i think it's a rather appropriate time to put up these pics... i'll have a few more to post (2 in particular)... but you'll have to wait a while for that one to be up... actually, it should be up by tomorrow... =)

redang island

redang trip june 2005... from left to right: cheong kit, myself, ly and jason...

it's a little bit delayed but i think it's about time for me to post the pics from our trip to redang island last june... the best holiday i've had in recent memory with my friends... thanks guys, i've had a blast!

enjoying the breeze...

after a hard day at sea... hehehe... the 3 of us posing after a snorkeling trip...

my favorite...

my favorite pic from the redang trip... amazingly, after five years together, this is our first trip together... i love you...

breathtaking view...

sunrise in redang... it's the best view we could get through the cloudy skies... and it's still a magnificent view...

long overdue pics...

sunrise at the base of mount kinabalu... simply spectacular (although i look rather thin... blame it on the cold winds!)... (jan 2000)

i've always wanted to put these pics up but i've always put it off till now... this particular journey has always been memorable to me... not just because we conquered the highest peak in south east asia (it is rather easy to climb actually) but it is special because of the friends which went with me... and till now, they have been the closest friends i have ever had...

the living legends... =)

the fellowship i'll never forget at the highest point in south east asia... (jan 2000)

i've always been proud of the bond we had among us... talking bout the times we've had has always made me smile... i don't have a brother in life but they are as good as any brother i can ask for...

long break

it's been a while since i blogged bout anything. just don't feel like doing it anymore. can't see the point in blogging. i used to blog just to ramble bout my feelings, my thoughts. but reading back, i do realize that most of my feelings' thoughts were rather negative. depressed, sad, tired... is my life really so miserable? i dun think so...

perhaps negative thoughts are easier to put down to words. perhaps that's why there's very little happy blogs from me. perhaps it's the emotions. perhaps i'm just screwed. anyway, i dun think i'll totally stop blogging. perhaps all i need is a long break.

... part2

well... my train of thoughts have definitely switched tracks... and i'm no more in that kind of mood anyway... at times like this (normal times that is), i am practically too busy to care bout much... and i'm back to being myself... no idea why i'm always so busy... poor time management probably...

anyway, just felt like blogging so here i am... although my mind right now is truly blank... just rushed through another lab session just now... and in the middle of my break currently...

well, i guess that's it for now... =)

ps: this is just a crappy entry...

...

it's been 2 weeks into the new semester and my life has fallen back into that daily routine of a student's life...
nothing much to talk about basically except to say that things are going on rather slowly; actually time moved pretty rapidly, it's just that the things around me ain't keeping up with time...
i was in a horrible mood the past weekend. tons of assignments to be rushed through and yet i didn't wanna move a finger. ok, i'm just lazy.
anyway, thought bout some stuff... these things actually do bother me at times (more than i'd like) but i usually dismiss them without much fuss.
i have been thinking bout how i'm already 22 and yet haven't really achieved anything significant as a person. i'm not talking bout studies or anything like that. i mean doing stuff that makes a difference in ppl's lives. things that make ppl look at me in a different light. honestly i'm quite tired of being looked at as the 'rebellious kid' (although i admit at times i kinda liked that tag)... guess things really do change with time huh?
i looked back at what i have done, what i am doing... and i realized, throughout the years, i've really just been cruising down a path that is already there. and i dun want to do that!
i've been told by a friend that it doesn't matter which road you choose to travel in life, just as long as you leave your footprints behind. i guess that is good enough. but deep down, i dun wanna travel where everyone has been... i wanna lay down a new path for others to travel. i dun wanna just leave my footprint to be washed away in the sands of time.
the sad part? i dun think i can change anything right now... following the path laid down in front of me is hard enough without going astray. keeping up with time, with expectations... everything is so freaking hard. just trying to be who i am is already proving to be a strenuous effort.
i guess doing what i want to do and doing what i have to do is two totally different worlds huh?

ermm... i've gtg.. blogging from uniten's library actually... hopefully this entry will have a part 2 soon (that's if i dun lose my train of thoughts)...

ps: i dunno if i made any sense in what i just wrote but it is basically what i have in my brains right now - unfiltered.

update

just a quick update. today's my first day back in uniten after a 2 week break. the break was good. the trips to penang and redang was particularly fun (pictures and details due later)... but... yes, there's always a but... i didn't do quite well in my previous special semester and my cgpa dropped further... kinda disappointed in that...

anyway, really didn't feel like starting my classes just yet. damn bloody lazy right now. but i guess after a week or two, that mood should be done with. well, at least that's what i hope. =)

btw, i haven't even decided on my time table for this sem yet which is soooo not like me... actually, i haven't even decided on the subjects that i'm gonna take... my gut feeling tells me this is gonna be a long, long semester for me to suffer... hehehe...

well, gotta go for my first class of the sem now... bye2...

busy once more... in a good way...

the exams have been over for more than a week now... but i'm still rather busy... but, like i said, in a good way... let me explain...
i'm just back from a trip to penang last night and tonight, i'm off to redang with jason, ck and ly! yup... i'm busy with holidays... hahaha... jealous?
anyway, i left kl on weds night. took a night train to penang. i dunno wat is it with trains but i really do enjoy the ride although it lasted nearly 8 1/2 hours... trains are just amazing for me... something bout sitting in a train, looking at the scenery flying by that spells peace to me... i reached butterworth at bout 5 something and took the ferry across to the island, another ride that i truly enjoyed (probably coz i dun have to take the ferry everyday...)
in penang i spent 4 days, 3 nights in total relaxation. it turned out better than expected actually... slept till way past noon everyday and stayed out till late at night (or is it early?)... anyway, i did wat i really wanted to do - NOTHING!
however, i do find the lifestyle in penang rather slow compared to the hectic ways of kl. but, i'm not gonna complain bout that too much... it's been a while since i had such a perfect holiday... seriously...
well, i guess i just wanted to drop a few lines here... just wanted to let anyone who cares know that i'm still alive and kicking! i'm kinda in a rush right now... need to go buy some stuff for my trip to redang tonight. i'm leaving kl on a 1030 bus tonight and i'll be back on thurs... i'll post a longer blog bout both my trips and probably get some pictures on as well... haven't done that in a while...
this holiday is turning out to be a blast!

ps: seow, sorry dude... i really can't wait for u to return for that trip coz my classes starts on the 4th... anyway, there's always next time right? meet for a drink when i get back?

busy busy busy

just one more week... after that, i'll have a two week break which i plan to have some fun - although i really do not have the faintest idea of what i'm going to do... well, shouldn't be too difficult to have some fun right?

anyway... i just wanna explain the lack of activity on my blog these few days. my finals are coming up next week and since this is the shorter semester, i have loads to do. tests, assignments, quizzes, presentations... blablabla... so till next week... adios...

damn

i'm usually neutral when it comes to racism. especially when the bumiputra's special rights are the main agenda. most of my friends can testify to that. i think in a country like malaysia, rich in it's own cultures and diversities, tolerance is a must for us. for peace to prevail, we must learn to make certain sacrifices and learn to live with each other. if we can't do that, the unity on which this country was founded on will crumble.
however, instances and individuals highlighted in this particular letter makes me wonder. why do i maintain my idealistic views? right now, i really do not know. and don't get me wrong. i'm not blaming a particular race. all i have to say is that we are all responsible as a whole.

kingdom of heaven

i just watched the movie yest with ly. i'm not a huge fan of orlando bloom (i prefer aragorn compared to legolas) nor am i a fanatic christian. and i do have my reservations about the crusade. with all that, i watched the movie with not much expectations and well, i was just trying to enjoy the movie. i do like these 'epic' movies.

so how was the movie? i actually find it pretty good and mainly because for me, it has a deeper value than just a movie. wat the movie portrayed was so true... wat is jerusalem anyway? after all the bloodshed, can it remain a holy land? do god really want us to slaughter each other under his holy name?

come to think of it, the situation hasn't changed much these days. the only difference - swords are replaced with guns and technology has made all the killings easier and with greater impact. and they say history lessons are for us to learn our past mistakes so that we do not repeat those mistakes.

i would like to continue blogging about my opinion on this matter but there's something telling me i shouldn't. after what happen to a close friend of mine, i decided that the 'freedom of speech' crap is just that - crap. and i wouldn't challenge that although i want to. see, this is what you should do with history lessons... LEARN...

emotional roller coaster

the past few months have been really strange on me. i do not know since when, but i've realized for a few weeks now - my temper is back. actually, it's not just my temper. me ego's back for a visit as well. it's all the negative emotions that has been lingering around during my high school days. all the anger and hatred welled up in me. all the sadness and disappointments and frustrations. it's everything dark and more.

the weird part? i can't decide if it's good or bad. you see... i've been trying to change myself, to be a new person when i started life in uniten. so i started to change. trying to be someone i'm not. it succeeded, definitely... no more temper, no more depression. but with that, i've also lost a part of myself. i've lost touch with the person i am, my identity.

i know it might sound silly to some of you, but by changing myself, i've lost the drive to push myself to the limits. i've abandoned everything that meant something to me.

i'm confused. just when i thought i've managed to blend in, to make ppl around me comfortable... just when i thought i've fulfilled the expectations certain ppl have on me... i lose myself...

how is it possible?

the stats says it all... man utd controlled the game for the whole of 120 mins but just couldn't score... and in the end, we ended up with nothing... arsenal were just plain lucky to have gotten away with that... with that said, man utd still rocks! GLORY GLORY MAN UTD!

where do i find the time?

as teenagers/ young adults, i guess there are a few expectations to fulfil. especially from our own parents. well, i've got a few that i would like to fulfil, personally. these, i guess, are the basic aspects that we should grow accustomed to:

1. to be a good son
2. to be a faithful/ active follower of christ
3. to be a good/ active student
4. to be a good bf (well, i've gotta be responsible right?)

*i would love to add - a good sporstman but too bad i have neither the skill nor the talents to really make it big in any sport.

well... from the overview, it would seem to be an easy task right? just four objectives. well, let me break it down one by one, in my view point.

good/ active student. i dun know bout other students. but it seems like studies have taken up a large portion of my days right now. taken up much more of my time than my liking. just felt like, it's something that i HAVE to do. i dunno why. it ain't like this back in secondary school. and it's affecting my relationship with my gf much more than i expected. and because of that, even my frens (jason in particular) have labeled me as the "ffk" guy... and lately, i have tried to be an active student as well... trying to get involved in various projects in my uni... but it's definately more challenging than it seems. never seem to have enough time in a day. and i think i sleep less compared with the normal guys. i practically sleep bout 3/4 hours a day... on a good day, i get 5 hours of sleep.

faithfull/ active follower of christ. i have to admit i ain't strong religously. i started going to bible class early this year but i have skipped the past 8 classes (2 months) due to exams and robocon and stuff... and the youth group. i really wanted to be part of it but how can i? do i have the time to spend during the weekends? i would dread making promises that i can't keep.

good son. this is, for me, the main pritority right now. my parents have sacrificed a lot for me. and because of them, i am who i am right now. i know it's not much but at least i hope i can make them proud. they have given me all that i could ask for. all the support and love that i need, a wonderful home to live in, delicious food for every meal and a sound education.

last but not least, a good bf. well... for some this is not important. but i feel that, the moment i decided to have a gf, i should take the responsibility as her bf. to treat her nice, to pamper her, to make her happy. but i do realise i've not been doing that lately. i realise that i've been breaking a lot of my promises to her. just hope that she can understand my situation. it's not that i dun wanna fulfil my promises. i just can't.

well... there you have it. how do i achieve all those? i only have 24 hours a day like everyone. how does everyone achieve it? and not to forget, there are many more that i would love to do. my guitar class, my robotic project, my computer games, my weekly night out, weekly game of futsal... all of which i haven't given much thought lately or simply haven't got the time to do.

it could all boil down to time management and discipline, the 2 characters which i kinda lack. and it could be that my priorities are not right. or maybe i'm just thinking too much and taking things too seriously. maybe all i have to do is to chill and relax. enjoy life as it is. so wat do u think?

project NiC?

as i've said before, the robotic comp did ignite my interest in this field. so after deliberating over it for a while, i've decided to embark on a project of my own. well, nothing too high tech. just something simple for me to fill my spare time with. my project will be done in stages and i will post my progress along the way, that way, my blog won't be so dead as well... =)

i'll think over the stages of my project before announcing it here. meanwhile, anyone who can help me out, please do. i need all the help i can get especially in the electronics and programming part.

however, i'm still in the thinking stage only. i do not know if i can manage to find the time required to work on this project, so i guess it'll be a slow moving project. anyway, more updates on this soon.

results

kinda bored of studying and can't think of anything to post so here's my result for the previous sem... i'm neither sad nor happy bout it... ermm... basically no comments... however, i have to say this is my worst result so far... moral studies II is a STUPID subject to study! but for the rest, felt like i screwed some of the papers but the results still came out ok... so i guess i'm a lucky kid... =)

back again...

after disappearing for a while, i think it's about time to reactive my blogging life...

just barely two weeks ago, i was involved in a robotic competition (robocon) held in pwtc which involves the participation of several universities around Malaysia. given the lack of preparation by my group, it's no surprise that our team lost in the round of 16 while the other representative of uniten fell in the quarterfinals. what did i gain from the competition? a lot i guess. not just from the technical point of view but also from the experience it gave me.

technically, i've found a new interest in robots. especially the electronics and programming part. throughout robocon, it is quite obvious that the major difference between each university is the reliability of the robots and that basically comes under how well it was programmed and also how reliable the circuitry was constructed. mechanically, almost all the robots could perform what they were built to do. So i guess the challenge is there and it is up to us to answer.

from the experience, our group actually faced some problems within ourselves. let's just say we had different ideas and personalities. and after the storm, we sat to talk things through. it was then that i realized how much i missed being with my group of friends (jason, kam, zi hui, jacky, ang). i remembered how much fun it was to work with them during our years back in VI. although we did face tremendous pressure at times but the passion and unity that we shared pulled us through. as a result of that, we sailed through the years with wonderful memories, through good and bad times.

with this group, i was hoping to achieve that, but i guess it's too much to ask for. first and foremost, we do not share the same passion. and i guess we all have different views on the values of unity and brotherhood. anyway, it is perhaps a good thing too. at least the bond between my friends and i will always remain a special one. and now i know that it can never be replaced.

this is getting rather emotional. and i'm probably painting the wrong picture about my current group of friends. i'm not saying they're all bad. they've got their plus points and they're fun to hang out with. if not i wouldn't be hanging out with them so often right? just that we share a different perspective in the friendship we have. whatever it is, i'm still looking forward to working with them on future projects and by the way, two of the projects have already begun.

so with that out of the way, back to my studies. it's now special sem in uniten which means everything is cramped up into 2 months. and i have foolishly challenged myself into taking two subjects and a lab during this sem. now, i'm suffering the consequences as my time table is bloody packed! i barely have time left for myself... let's just hope i can survive this sem...

with that, i'll end this entry.. gotta hit the books as there'll be a quiz tomorrow...

ps: i'll try to have more consistent entries from now on... =)

it has been a while

seems like it has been quite a while since i last blogged about the happenings around me... maybe that's because there is nothing much going on - nothing to get excited about and nothing much to complain... well, i can't say that's true on the emotions side of me (pretty hard to explain why here)...

other than that, i've been pretty busy... at first it was the finals which i think i did pretty bad in almost every paper... and then, just after a day's rest, i've been busy with a robotic competition which is coming soon... dun really feel like elaborating on it coz i dun think we've got any chance of winning it right now... maybe later?

however, i do realize something... i used to be the kind of person who loves to reflect back on past memories - to rekindle back the feelings often good old times... and to my surprise, it hasn't happened lately... not even once in the past couple of months... i've just been swept by the tide of events around me... getting too hooked up in my studies, ignoring everything around me...

and another thing is that there is a lot of changes happening around me which i didn't take the time to notice them before.. and now, the changes have suddenly hit me and i've realized that it is just too rapid... my family situation, my relationship with my gf and my friends, my life in uniten, my studies... so many changes in such short time... it's hard coming to terms with...

anyway, my head hurts real bad right now and i think i've gotta go get some sleep... g'night...

ps: reading through my entry, it seems pretty disoriented... that's probably the best way to describe my situation/ feelings right now...

why?!

stop screaming at me
stop being angry with me
stop blaming me
i just needed your support
why are you treating me like this?!

another tsunami?

just received news there was an earthquake of about 8.5 which hit at approximately the same area which caused the boxing day tsunami. in malaysia, so far, i have received news that penang, kajang, puchong and sentul have felt the quake. on cnn, it is being predicted that there will be another tsunami hitting the shores of the countries around sumatera. another disaster within 3 months? god, bless us all...

out of boredom...

The Holy Trinity is the concept that God takes three forms: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost (sometimes called Holy Spirit). Jesus taught the idea of instead of seeking revenge, one should love his or her neighbors and enemies. Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross to save humankind and forgive people's sins.

F1... here i come!

got myself 2 tickets to catch the formula 1 race in sepang!

uncertainties

Can you hear me, my love?
Yearning for a kiss, a hug
But only in darkness, in shadows
For you have him and I have her

While I’m waiting for your love,
Are you kissing him? Hugging him?
My heart is battered
My pride not withstanding

Must be hard for you as well
To know that my hugs belong to her
To learn that my lips kisses another
Can you live with that?

What have we, between us?
I have never felt a love like this
I have never felt a bond like this
So strong and yet so very fragile

How do we go through our days?
All I need is your affection, your love
All I need to know is that I’m not alone
With that I shall be strong, waiting

How do you survive this?
Are you fighting your wills as well?
What do you need? Let me know
Let me fight your battles and wars

I will be there, no matter what
You will always be in my heart
My love for you has grown
Too deep, too fast to say no


ps: this is the first time i've written anything bout love. i don't know if it's any good.

disclaimer: the characters of "you", "him", "i" and "her" are purely fictional and does not imply on myself or anyone i know. the meaning of this article is absolutely not associated with me or anyone i know.

a done deal?

my friend and i made a verbal agreement today... in 13 years from now, when i'm 35 and he's 37, we'll meet in sepang f1 circuit to race each other. i'll be there in my evo6 and he'll be waiting in his lotus elise... =)

seems like a pretty got deal to me... i wonder what's the probability of it going through? will we even remember it 13 years from now? let this be a time capsul - a reminder... =)

third entry

three entries in one hour? that ain't me! =)
well, this is me... i have got nothing to write about actually... plenty to do and read though - got two papers to sit for next week...
just that i'm feeling so bloody bored! and there's no one around to humor me... damn pathetic.. i know... but what the heck...
been thinking a lot (dreaming) lately... just feels so cramped up as a student... can't wait to embark on a journey to challenge the world as a working adult... i might regret this line after 20 years at the same job... =)
guess that's enough crap for a day... =)
ps: i've got a stupid smile plastered on my face all day long though i dun really feel like smiling. no idea why.

in the mood

happy to say that i'm in the mood to write once more. not due to anger. not due to frustration. erm... what the heck - i just feel like writing...
anyway, wrote 2 pieces in about 30 mins... the other piece won't be posted as i dun really feel good reading it... =)
let me know what u think of it ok?

faith

we, humans - how naive can we be?
we trust only what we see
believe only what we know
easier to trust than to believe
easier to believe than to have faith

without faith, what are we?
without faith, where will we be?
He suffered and died for us to see
and yet we are blinded by ignorance
do we take His sacrifice so lightly?

as certain as the next heartbeat
as certain as the sun will rise
faith will guide us, lead us
through the valley of darkness
through the treacherous path of life

reach out and feel its warmth
take a breath and smell its sweetness
embrace it with open arms fools!
it's your only light through darkness
it's your only ticket to eternal life

a slow start?

amazingly, this would only be my third blog for the year and it's already going to be march soon. no matter how many times i say it or hear it from someone else, i still can't believe how fast time flies. feels like it's only the start of the year and before i know it, 3 months have flown past. this semester is especially hectic for me but i do not know the reason why. i've had so much planned for the year but now it seems that all my plans are gonna go down the drain. it would be amazing enough if i manage to stay in the robotic competition being held and also join in the project under a certain dr liew in uniten.

for the robotic competition, well it's kinda like a game of basketball and we've gotta come up with bots (auto and manual) to play the game. initially i thought it would be fun and challenging but now that i realized how little i know, i'm beginning to learn how tough it actually is. as for the project under dr. liew, ermm... i'm not so sure yet as to the objective of the research. all i know is the fact that i'm gonna be learning a hell lot more from him about aviation practically than i ever would learn in any other classes in uniten. whether i make it through or not, we'll just have to wait and see.

and something else... although everything is getting better (my life in uniten, studies etc) i somehow wanna get more in touch with my emotions. especially my negative emotions (depression, anger etc). i feel like it's the only thing that gives me the passion to keep on writing. although that would mean all my articles would be on the darker side, but at least i will be able to write. i haven't wrote for quite sometime now and i do miss writing a lot.

another thing that i really missed - FOOTBALL! it's tough getting enough people to play it and to make matters worse, half of my friends do not enjoy playing it. man, i've gotta get the right group of friends! however, i would have to say, even if i meet the right people, i still wouldn't be able to play at least for a couple of months. my right knee hurts like hell right now thanks to an old injury. i don't know how long it would take for it to heal but i hope it's soon. really miss slamming the ball into the back of the net. glorious feeling!

last but not least, an update on my relationship. actually, this would be a short msg to ly. our relationship has been going on for so long now (5 years) that everything felt routine. our phone calls, our dates... even our hugs and kisses lack passion... it's been a tough couple of weeks or was it months? and perhaps we both have changed. the way we see our future, the way we value certain things in life. you want it simple but i've got a complicated, weird way of thinking. i miss the times when we could just talk and laugh about everything. that feeling seems to have evaded us. i dun wanna live in the present, thinking of past memories. i want to live it. i need to.

however, for the past few days, things seemed to be getting better, albeit slowly. i know you do not want to rush things, and i, myself find it more comfortable maintaining our relationship like this, with minimum commitment. at least for the moment, just to steady the ship through the storm. i'll let you be the captain of the ship for now ok? we'll go at your speed. i know you are tired of arguing. so am i. it still hurts to hear you cry. as you've said before - let's take things slow. one day at a time. but my love for you will always remain true. i love you, no matter what.

hmm.. it's getting personal... guess i'd better stop here. actually it doesn't matter, no one reads my blog anyway... =)

for the record

a friend of mine told me that my posts is so full of dissatisfaction and it seems that i have so much hatred towards life. well, i just wanna straighten out the facts for the record here. i know what my friend said is true. but it is not because i'm dissatisfied with life or whatsoever. in fact, i'm very grateful for the life i'm living right now. i'm thankful that god has blessed me with so many gifts and for me to be able to lead this lifestyle which many could not achieve.

so why the angry posts? why so much hatred? well, all those anger is directed at no one other than yours truly. it is my way of telling myself how much i need to improve. i'm disappointed with all the things that i couldn't achieve, all the things that's out of my reach. i know no one is perfect, but what's the harm in trying to be? why do you think my blog is titled unfinished_article? i am the unfinished article. we all are. we're not perfect and neither are we complete. life is all but a journey for us.

i know it's difficult to understand me. i confuse myself sometimes. well, i just like to think that i'm different.

2005 - a year of hope

"I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.

And help us to be wise in times when we don't know

Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way

Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace

To a place where we'll be safe"

_

- celine dion, the prayer

_

*one minute silence*

_

after a year of trouble and turbulence, let us start the year on a fresh note. the past shall remain in our memories; bitter or sweet. the future - times for us to look forward to. and we will live in the present to the fullest; relishing and savoring every moment.

_

how's that for the opening of my first post for 2005? and how's the new outlook of my blog? new year, new look, new person? nah... i'm still the same guy as i always will be - good or bad... hahaha...

i haven't been attending to my blog as frequent as i wanted to and it's already been a month since my last entry which means there is a lot of catching up to do. so, what's new this year? nothing much really... still stuck with the normal routines. the only new event was the fact that i joined an engineering competition which basically humbled me and brought me crashing back to earth. but the experience was invaluable to us (at least that's what i'd like to think...) and there was a consolation. we won the best booth award... not really an engineering award huh? there'll be more details on the competition when i get the pics up...

other than that, i'm currently in the middle of my midterm papers - two down, two more to go. i don't really mind the papers though. what i do mind is the timing. my midterm break (next week) is sandwiched in between my papers! how am i gonna enjoy my break? and chinese new year too? damn... but there is a bright side to it though. i'll have more time to study and looking at the subjects i'm taking this sem, i'll need all the help i can get to score.

well, i guess that's all that happened for the past month... and what am i doing right now? waiting for man utd vs arsenal at 4 am. that'll be around 2 hours from now...

my prediction - man utd 3 arsenal 2

that's all i'm gonna say bout that match for now... =)

hmmm... i guess that's all. gotta get started with my stacked up assignments. and to end this post, here's some pics i took during the new year eve dinner at jason's place. not too many turned up but i had a good time anyway... =)

me and ly

cute guy ain't he?
