You know one thing I realized after so long I'm back, I observed that our country has upgraded in some sense. Despite still having terrible road condition, there are more fly-overs and highways that are more convenient for us motorist. I've also noticed the significant increase in export cars on the road, even those where i rarely see on the streets last 2 1/2 years ago. Even our very own local cars are improving(in terms of design at least), with the new series of proton and perodua cars. Malls are increasing with more designers franchise. Previously you can only get designer products in Bintang Walk area or KLCC but now you can even get some in The Gardens, Pavilion, and some in 1Utama. Broadband services are much more compatitive these days with P1, Mobile broadband (Maxis, Digi, Celcom), and our pride Streamyx. Although still lag behind, but you can see we're improving. Of course its more than that.
Seeing all those improvements, I felt so proud of my own country. However, I felt that I'm really lost here. I felt that I'm starting to lose pace and kinda lag behind already.
Now even my friends have "upgraded" i felt. Well mostly material wise but also maturity. Well I can't really describe what I meant by upgraded in terms of material, but I'll give example. It's like in da past, they enter SEED shop and we think it's classy. Nowadays, they go Esprit, Zara, Topshop and we think it's classy. Last time we go pizza hut once a while during outings, now we go Italian restaurants for it. Starbucks seems so unaffordable, but now it seems regular. Last time it's Megamall, now it's Gardens. Last time it's Oh! Sushi, now it's Jogoya. Last time it's Casio/Swatch, now it's Titus/Tag Heuer. Last time it's Nokia 3310, now it's Iphone. Last time it's USB stick mp3, now it's Ipod Touch. Many many more....
Of course you would say that most friends are working and therefore have a better purchasing power. But I'm talking about the purchasing mentality not power. I think those stuff are also affordable to some last time, but just that they don't go for it. It's more like mentally upgraded than financially upgraded. I remember saving like mad just to get a swatch watch worth RM199 for my girlfriend during high school and that's like one of those big achievement coz it's freaking damn expensive. Nowadays, RM199 is like "slightly better than no brand" that's all.
Ok enough for the materials. Maturity? We talked about job market. We talked about share markets. We talked about our country in 10 years to come. We talked about possible development and the effects on us. We talked politics in a deeper manner. We talked about travelling in a more sophisicated way. But I just don't seem to blend with them anymore. Obviously it's because I'm not working yet. In fact I'm no where close to working since I'll be doing my masters soon. Even that, my friends who are not in the finance line they can talk about financial stuff, but i can't. I don't even have a single simple finance knowledge. I don't even know what's crossed cheque, bankdraft n stuff. OMG!!!! Dammit!!!
I am so out these days!!!
around 3 months ago on the 23th January, I touched down at KLIA from a long 16 hours flight from Germany. As I fly with another friend, both of us were very excited when we were about to reach KLIA. I had so many plans and also worries at that time I remember. One thing for sure is that I want to enjoy as much as I can because I know that I will not stay for long. Many of those plans didn't work out till this far though, and there are many surprises on the way which i did not expect it to happen.
Well, I just wanna do a highlights summary on those 3 months as I suddenly had a flashback on it. First of all, the board game "Die Siedler von Catan" or "The Settlers of Catan". Now almost everyone around me gets addicted to this game. We've been playing so regularly and it's like some sorta routine di. Seriously those out there that haven't played it, you should try it.
Trips. from Malacca, to Kuching, to Hong Kong, and the recent Penang Trip which I've promised to blog about but still quite lazy to do so. Malacca trip was good because I finally get to meet my relatives after so many years. It was also CNY that time so I really had a good time. Kuching wasn't that great but was good as I get to meet my brother and first time meeting up with his girlfriend. Hong Kong was good in terms of goodies. Bought quite some stuff from there. Penang Trip was the most enjoyable for me this far.
Celebrations. I finally get to celebrate CNY and my Birthday back here. My birthday wasn't a great one but it was kinda special in some ways.
Not to forget the admission letter for masters course. At least I've confirmed when and what my next step would be.
Well I guess that's the highlights of what I've done. I felt great that I get to do so many things, but on the other hand I do felt very lonely and emotional from time to time. I felt that I've already reach the peak of my holiday and I know the next few months wouldnt be anymore pleasant. Emotional problem rises like mad these days and I can tell u sometimes I really can't stand it especially when I'm alone at home. I sometimes wish that none of these ever started although I had very enjoyable moments.
I'm so dried up now. I mean I'm moodless already. Now that I only have 3 months to go, I should enjoy every moment doing things that i want to do before I leave. But I don't have the will and power anymore. I just feel like leaving here as soon as possble. I know I wouldn't be happy either leaving this country, but at least I get to escape all those emo problems I faced here.

When changes comes, it does more or less leave a scar on everything. The scar might be a good one, as some would use it as remembrance, but in most cases it would be a hurting one. there's a chinese saying, 凡走过必留下痕迹, which exactly describe what i've mentioned above.
I hate changes sometimes. I'm not a flexible person, I don't adapt to new environments or parameters that easily. The worse kind of changes that i hate to experience are those flash or instant changes. Those that happen so sudden. You imagine today you're having a happy day and the next day you have a whole streak of unhappy incident and it happens with the same party and same variables. Sometimes i even get misunderstood for changes. Sometimes those changes looks positive on the surface, but turns out negative when you get deeper into it.
Sometimes, u see a light shining the path in front of you and you naturally thought it was hope, but it turns out that the hopeful path will only lead you to a dead end where you can't even turn back. every step u took in this path, you put more hopes on it. but the higher the hopes, the harder you fall. But in most situations, you didn't choose this path. its just so natural that you want to walk on it coz u hope for something more.
Sigh, the emo streak continues. I've never been that emo since i came back. I shouldn't look at things so heavily, or should i say i took things too seriously and now i'm unable to turn back. My only path now is to walk on, and try to find branches that would lead me out of this dead-end.

Everything has an opposite side. We humans like to differentiate things in general to right or wrong. I'm not a Philosopher and neither have I done my Doctor Philosophy, but I have my views on right or wrong, guilt and regrets, happy and sad...and many more.
I always mentioned that when it comes to decision making, we have our rational part and emotional part. Sometimes we make decision based on very solid prove and taking every consequences into account, but sometimes we just choose to follow our heart. Of course in most situation, rationality gives us the right solution, but not all the time. Sometimes we have to follow what our heart says.
I have been very emotional these days. In fact I made alot of decision and action based on emotion. Sometimes it does bring me guilt in terms of the so called "right or wrong", or in simple way it's simply wrong to do so, but i rather have guilts than regrets. A close friend of mine once told me, as long as you're happy just do it.
But I just want to say, no matter how wrong it is or how much guilt it can bring to me, I know what I'm doing. I'm emotionally rational.
Remember my post about losing confidence? I think I've started to gain back some. I really don't know where the energy come from. I guess mainly its the support of my friends. I've been driving further now and though I've still phobias of parallel parking or sometimes even reverse park, but at least I manage to drive to One Utama and SS2 without any problems or fear. I think I know that's the main problem before this -MYSELF. I'm just so reluctant to adapt back to the culture here. I felt I don't belong here, neither do I belong to anywhere else. After my acceptance in Singapore NTU, I felt I have to adapt myself to the culture here, afterall singapore's culture is not much different from Msia, most part of it.
Anyway I do hope for a time freeze machine. Or rather I hope for a time travel machine. I want to turn back time. I want to repent those mistakes I've ever done. I wish I can start my life again. Well, no need to restart from the beginning, just bring me back to moments where I need to patch things up.

Crap! I miss moments. Why am I such an emotional person? Normal human will keep their sweet memories or even sour ones and they'll probably take it out once in a while. God gave us two eyes which are placed in front not behind telling us that our vision is in da future not da past.
But I'm freaking abnormal. I start to wonder am I from planet Emotron instead just like transformers from cybertron. I was really hoping that einstein didn't die that early, so that he can continue to research on his theory of relativity. With that we would probably have a Mercedez Chrono series di, where it can bring u back to the past. Ok the Mercedez Chrono is just a crap, pls dun go on google n search for it.
I remember in one of those post I've wrote last time stating that I want happy moments to freeze or repeat again. I had a comment from Jessica that if there would be take two, it wouldn't be the same anymore. I guess maybe I should learn how to let those happy moments go and just enjoy the process of it.

YES! Finally won my first personal title in PES2009. Well since I can never be a real football superstar in reality, I would like to thank Konami for such a wonderful game, allowing us to "become a legend" in virtual football world. My next target would be more personal titles, such as footballer of the year blablabla. lolx.
This worth congratulating about??? WTF? Just a game??
Nah.
This is the real thing.
ADMISSION LETTER to pursue a master degree in Singapore & Germany!!!!
Electronics Engineering in Singapore and Germany? Could it be better than this?? NAH!
Here I come Kiasuland!!! Yeah i get to continue my quest to search for the ultimate sausage in Germany again lolx.!!

Well I'm still constructing the penang trip post and i can't go further without the rest of the photos which are still with Kelsen and Lloyd, and they're both in penang. I will retrieve from them as soon as they upload it to the net.
At the meantime, I will update a lil on myself. On Monday I went to watch the movie Knowing with Keen Seng. Well overall the movie wasn't that good. The first half was kinda thrilling and interesting, but then it became a piece of shit. I have still tons of movie to watch and looking for people to go with me. I had this crazy idea of watching movie alone to experience it. I reckon it would suit me alot since I'm such an emo person. To magnify the effects, I guess I'll watch romance movie alone. Lets see how emo i can get then lol.
I'm not doing a review on this movie though i borrowed the title of it for this post. Nah it's just that I've been quite emo this week. One small part of it is because I miss the Penang trip though it's only a short trip. Like I said in my previous posts, the location of the trip is secondary, the primary factor is the company. It can't get any better going with Kelsen and Gabe, furthermore Keen Seng and Lloyd are able to join us this time. But I guess the bigger factor that causes this Emo streak is the confidence.
Honestly till now I've not gain back my confidence in driving. Even as a passenger, I just couldn't open my eyes seeing the driver squeezing through a narrow gap or doing a difficult parallel parking. I just wonder how did i lose everything?? I think if you ask me to take the driving test again, I would probably fail badly.
I realize that it's not just the confidence in driving that I've lost. I've lost confidence in life too. Because of that, I have the reluctancy to execute lots of things. Just as an example I've lost confidence to be in a crowded area. Now i felt very shy to be in public areas. I felt shy when my friend introduce me to their friends, especially the opposite sex.
WTF?? I think back on those 4 years that I'm in Germany. I can't afford not to be confident in myself. I face strangers speaking a foreign language almost everyday but yet I still dare to face them. I have been humiliated because i speak broken German, but yet I still have the guts to do so. Just all in a sudden, while I'm back in my HOME COUNTRY, i lost my BALLS??
KNOWING my problem, but not KNOWING how to solve it. Sigh help me peeps. help me regain my confidence.

The last time I reallly enjoyed my birthday was about 8 years ago in 2001. At that time I had a streak of happy events not just on my birthday but the whole week from 5th April till 9th April. Since then, it's been dull. I do enjoy having dinner with family, but it was moderate dinner style. Things got worse when I was in Germany. Most of my birthday were either not celebrated or just a simple dinner. However, I am still sincerely glad to all those people who celebrated birthday with me in Germany.
Well, maybe people would be asking me what is the definition of an enjoyable birthday? Fancy cake? Expensive present? Nah. 10 years ago I would think that way. To me, the most enjoyable birthday is to be able to hang out with the people that I want to. For example, my hommies, or my other half if i had one. I would trade all my materials/properties/money for quality moment, coz I define happyness as having quality moments in life.
This year wasn't anything outstanding but was quite special. At least I'm in Malaysia to celebrate with my family/friends. On the 5th April I had dinner at Pasta Zanmai @ 1 Utama with my college friends and my friend's gf. Surprisingly though my full of poser face college mates was just too lazy to pose for photoshoot. After that most of them head home as they have to work. So Gabe,Kseng, Melvin n I headed to Subang Asia Cafe for a short pool session. After that we headed to our usual hangout place in Kuchai Lama for a drink.
On the 6th April, I had a drink with my ex-gf. It's been a long long time since we met up. We hardly keep in touch too these days. We had lots to catch up with each other. Later on Gabe n Keen Seng joined in. On the 7th, of course I had birthday dinner with my family. But before that I had an unofficial interview for an internship position. I think internship could be a good option for me as my availability is bad. Despite not serious with it, I still felt bad coz I didn't do well in the interview. It was kinda typical interview, where they asked 3 IQ question which I'm able to answer 2 1/2 out of 3, and some character questions like "do u u think ur smart?", "give me reasons why i SHOULD NOT hire you?" blablabla.
Anyway, initially after the dinner Kel actually planned to hang out with me. But he was extremely exhausted. Therefore I stayed at home. But then my friend sms-ed me asking me out for a drink. Well at least somebody to accompany me for the last few hours of my birthday. I enjoyed it actually, though I was freaking nervous driving the car around.
Sounds normal/boring eh? Not to me though.
Yeah, and I'm finally 1 year older. Nothing to celebrate bout it but yeah, watever!

As usual, my plans are all ruined!
Ahh, sometimes its difficult when you're stuck in between. Anyway I just came back from my usual board game outing with my fellow Catan friends. I have an intention to spread this board game to all of my friends here. Yes I know board games are usually quite "bored". But trust me, once you're exposed to this game, you'll love it. Even the person that I least expect him to play is now an addict. Sorry ah Sheng Wa aka Godfathar, i wasn't expecting you to be such an addict. I mean what so special about this German board game?? only one way to find out. Come play with us. We have 2 sets of Catan + 1 Deutschland Edition set now and we can accommodate 12 players. We also have a Variation expansion which allows the rules to bent and additional stuff which makes the game more interesting. So I'm urging and inviting all those that are interested to contact me or my fellow board game gang. I'm sorry I'm not able to expose any of our contact details, but what you can do is to comment that you're interested, I'll think of a way how to contact you. Btw, This game "Die Siedler von Catan" or "The Settlers of Catan" have been voted the Monopoly Killer.
Haha i guess its my style of writing blogs. I have to suave away from the main topic for at least one paragraph before entering the main topic. Yeah jobs? Initially I plan to look for a permanent job after CNY and if the job is good, i don't plan to study masters. Then I thought it would be foolish to do so since I'll be travelling almost the whole month of March. Then I plan to look for job when i come back but then I'll have my birthday week plus Penang trip. So maybe it would be wise if i look for job after that. But no more permanent job, probably part-time or freelance. But now i can even forget bout it since my mom wants us(my parents and I) to go the Australia in May/June. How to work?? I'll be straight here, I don't wanna work in restaurants or even promoters job since I don't gain any experience. I prefer to work in the office or engineering related, such as technician or lab assistant, or tutoring. Worse case would be being a typist, office clerk/boy, data entry. But problem is, who would want to employ me? I can't even be sure of my own availability.
Although my parents told me to take this period off as holiday after the hectic 4 years degree course, but hey I'm freaking 24 this year! I'm so shy to tell u guys this...I'M USING MY PARENTS MONEY~!!!! Fark. I feel so embarrassed of myself. Most of my friends are already giving business cards during gatherings/meetings but me?? Fark fark fark!!!
Money is secondary actually. Imagine this. The next time i finish my master degree and then finally looking for a job. In the interview, they ask me "what have you done while waiting for your masters to start?" What? Tell them "basically I just stay at home during day time waiting for my dad to bring me for lunch, and then meet up with friends playing board game during the night??"
SHIT! I hate it!

Ahh man. Its been 2 and 1/2 years I've been to any pasar malam. The last time i went was during my 2006 summer break. Pasar Malam have been the hangout place for me almost every Thursday at OUG and every Saturday at Happy Garden during my high skul times. Of course we love to go with friends, and partners and we want to avoid parents.
Today I followed my dad to pasar malam. Actually I didn't intend to go but today the Streamyx bill came and it doesn't look good. All these while we've been using the RM44 package which give us 60 hours of surfing time @ 512kbps download speed. Obviously 60 hours is not good enough for me, and 512kbps is like torturing me. I can still bare with the speed, I mean if i want to download anything i can still leave it on the whole night for it to complete. But the time limitation is really a killer factor. So after a long discussion with my dad, we had to choice - either to upgrade to streamyx 88 or to switch to P1 Wimax.
P1 seems to be very attractive and gets good review from users. So, we decided to visit the nearest roadshow booth which is at the pasar malam today. Sadly my area is not under full coverage yet but they'll still send somebody to my house for a test one of these days. Anyway back to the main topic. Of course I did walk 1 round thru the pasar malam. Ahh gives me lots of memories. There're few stalls that remain at the same position, for example the pirated computer CD shop that i always visited, the fried carrot cake shop, taiwanese sausage, and many more.
I walk to pasar malam with my dad. Not that we can't drive, just that we should exercise once in a while. Looking back during my form 4 period, I have to walk all the way to Happy Garden, which is about 25mins walk, then from there walk around 10-15 mins to OUG pasar malam. That's one way journey, and the same thing back home. Yes its freaking tiring but I really enjoy those moments alot.
Nowadays, none of us like to go pasar malam already. We go there probably for a specific purpose only. True enough, I did not meet a single friend in pasar malam, while my dad met at least 2 -3 groups of his students. I guess the pasar malam thingy has long gone for our generation.
Anyway it was a good to walk pasar malam again and i hope i can persuade some of my friends to walk with me one day.
