October 06 Hong Kong Trip - "foretrip"ho ho ho, going to Hong Kong before final. Yeah!
However, since our flight(oh ya, i'm going wif my bro) is early in the morning. We decide to stay in KL one day before so that we could rest better and has a better choice of transportation.
So, off we go, to TuneHotel near Medan Tuanku. First, as usual, stop car at surau, MMU. Then take bus to Putra Central, change to E1 to KL sentral. Quite lucky as we get to change our flight from going back to JB to KL for our return flight(oh yeah, our flight get cancelled without any informing from AirAsia! Airasia service sucks... Luckily we check its status online 1 nite before.. else, we will be stucked in Macau on 1st Oct! can u imagine tat?)
Satisfied with our result at AirAsia Office, we continue our trip to hotel without stopped by anything including HEAVY RAIN. Thus, we are soaked when we reach hotel.. wat a start...
anyway, the hotel is much better than anticipated, quite spacious and clean for just RM50++, with private bath. The fan is strong enough without the need of an air-con either. Cool~~
Then, we stroke around bukit bintang, with Pavillion as our main spot. It seem somehow like The Garden, but personally I felt Pavillion is better as the product sold there are still "buyable", unlike the Garden. It has a wide variety of food too, great place if u are looking for new eating places.Do prepare some extra bucks though..
ps: we saw Amber Chia! dining there with other Pensonic celebrities(which most i dunno)
Finally, we at hotel at 8 and sleep( sleep so early, u reckon? The bus will be coming at around 3++!!! there goes our plan to rest better)
TuneHotel Photo.. :D
Guess where the light come from???? 3...2...1.. it's TOILET! :D abit feel like love hotel to me though.... @@ September 16 transition?same title as previous ? a mistake , u might think? ha ha, nope, jz happened they share the same topic.
anyway, ntg much to say, september 16, 2008, a date which everyone in Malaysia knows what happened? a date probably would be recorded in history regardless what would be the end result. Still, until now, there are nothing but mere verbal promises and uncertainties.
jz lots of dramatic events happened.. Chinese being squartters, parliament members visits Taiwan along with tropical storm, ISA strikes back, Rise of Anwar, key of reformation left cabinet... what's next?
transition?Finally back to my blog! :D
going to work(intern) soon in months~ Suddenly realise my thinking is still unable to adjust to my new status, from student to "worker". Still, I see the working world is a total different world from mine, yet, I see those juniors in university as a younger generation, which are a life that are very distant from me.
hmm, so, what am I? or, more precisely, where am I?
Perhaps you are wondering now.. So why does this matter? Well, it matters alot! Since I don't feel like student already, I somehow lose determination to play my role as ne. Yet, I still do not have the mentality of a working person. Thus, it seem i'm a zero productivity entity now(although every student is zero productivity, except those who do part-time job. :P )
Let's hope it will improve when the time has come~~ at the meantimme........ play game!! (hopeless) August 19 疯癫-痴狂之我回来啦！电动，幻想三国4，把我带回了年少时，因融入电动世界，而忽略真实社会的疯狂。 北京奥运，我不顾一切，为中国队如痴如狂，加油打气，不亚于中国人本身。 如此的我，把情绪完全不掩饰的显示出来，把世俗琐事抛弃脑后，难得找回自我世界，享受自我! 不错不错。。。嘻嘻 Beijing Olympics 2008Without any particular reasons, being extremely obsessed with Beijing Olympics 2008, following closely since Opening Ceremony, seeking every single chance to watch any live match, cheering and supporting each and every China athletes, excited for every medals China won.
I’m being very supportive towards China team, might as crazy and hardcore as China mainland. Through Olympics, I’m being more and more “patriotic” towards China, which makes me doubting my own nationality.
However, I’m being happy towards myself, for finally finding back my high spirit and interest, which have been deteriorating and lacking these few years. Hopefully after Olympics, I could channel this energy to my own life. ^^ Anyway, now, I would proudly and happily says “中国加油！” August 07 Political Drama in Malaysia
Ever since 308, Political ground in Malaysia has never been the same. It's no longer only ministers accusing anything but themselves when faults happen(eg: MRR2 again!), it's no longer only opposition criticising policies of government, normally lack of their very own suggestions.
Now, anything could happen, such as history(Sodomy!), memory disorder (missing detective), lost and found(detective missing for days before being revealed that he's under protection overseas.. which takes days to trace his leaving m'sia record?), superman(60+ old back-pain man overpower 20+ old handsome guy ), happy victim ( making apperance, smiling like he win an olympic metal after making police report).
Well, it may seem political unstable, feeling of fear, uncertain, and despair may arise among society, but, as Batman says: it's always darkest before dawn. There's hope when there's a change, although it could be lead us to either way, light side or the dark side. Let's hope it would be Skywalker but not Darth Vader that awaits us in the future. Hometown, Haven?
It's always being relaxing when back to hometown. Life seem become very simple and routine, which leads me back to life before I leave for colleges/universities. My life is confined in this 22'' x 75'' (i think?) area, social circle confined to my family(parents), and activities confined to Astro, computer, and eating.
It took no time for me to fit myself into this life. Time flows much faster than it does when I'm in elsewhere. When not being here, I would miss my life being busy, dozens of phone calls everyday, and checking emails every day is a necessity. I would have many unnecessary thoughts which probably do nothing good but painting my world in blue.
Love being here, which feel like a dream, without any worries, sadness, or troubles. It's unproductive, yet I like it here.
(still, I blog here, which all because of a dream.. :P ) Getting sentimental?It's very unbelievable when I feel intense feeling during watching tv drama (Astro on Demand preview: "Mooncake festival"(hua hao yue yuan). It seldom happen to me, as when there's any touching scenes, I would probably have a light smile, thinking "Here it goes again.." or analyse it logically, and try to seek a better choice for them instead.
Perhaps, I should enter the tomb to recover my control.. (Or read too much "the legend of condos heroes"?)
Change? (Obama!)
Finally had a good conversation, quite surprised by the answer for what I shall improve on: Acting at will( to me, it's being myself, without influence of social views) and holding firmly my own values and standings(hmm..) are two main points.
Acting at will, could be seen as arrogant, inconsiderate, and solitude, which I agree upon. My way of implementation is: Act at my own will when the act did not disturb the person I care/love(family, frens,etc), especially when I'm alone in a alien surrounding, which I could take the consequences myself, if there's any.
Else, I would be easy-going, and just follow how the person I care/love want it to be.
Yeah, two extremes, act as I wish, or act as he/she wishes.
Values and standings, are always the line that should not be crossed, and would be defended by me regardless of its cost. Though, from time to time, it's getting lenient when more and more less important standings have been compromised. Still, I'm still always particular in certain matter such as promises, which I would keep no matter what happen to me, even it cost my life.
3rd point, which I have anticipated, my image. Well, I doubt I would change much for this though, it's just a container of my soul afterall. ha ha ha ha.
Anyway, I think I would have to say sorry as I probably would waste her advice, since I don't think it's feasible for me to change, else Teh Ying Fei would be dead by now.(the only two characteristics that I would likely describe myself) But still, I believe it would remain in my mind as a reminder - Never overdo it, and think twice(or more) before execution. Anyway, thank you for the kind comment, and please do let me know your thoughts, which I highly appreciate it. Ppl do need to deal with community and suit himself in, no matter how isolated he is. Improvement is always possible from time to time, and you, might be the one to help me improve.
Perhaps, I should change... (Seriously considering? Or just to remain the style of the blog.."Perhaps..?") Karma?
Realise how mean I am when I read back my old conversation history. I couldn't believe that was what I have said,acted, and done. Wonder how deep it would cut, how severe it would hurt..
Perhaps, this is Karma towards me, and I deserve it.... (or just finding reasons) Dream?
Had a bad night during my first nite in Ipoh, Have dream about her, and also what has been said by her, and the extreme reaction of mine when hearing it.
Is it the mind that I hide from everyone including myself? Is it what I really felt?
Perhaps, emotion controlling would backfire in dream... (or sleep too much) August 01 Skills along the mask- thrown? forgotten?Have been in MMU for 3 years, Comparing with life in UNITEN, it seem I have changed. Of course, not mentioning the mask that i have sworn to throw away when I arrived MMU. It's the way I interact with ppl: In past, I'm being talkative, trying to host the conversation and outings, while now: I'm back as I am in high school, being quiet, a follower trailing friends, without giving much comments to decide where to go. In past, I jokes around, making fun of people, causing a good laugh in a group, dominating the outing. Current, I'm a listener, making silent comment, be an observer. Do tried to talk like last time lately, but realise it feel different, lose the sense of controlling the situation, lose the sense of manipulating the mood, lose the sense of saying the right thing at the right place, lose the sense to joke according to different background~ Perhaps, skills has been forgotten at the same time i tose away my mask. Perhaps, I shouldn't miss my past as I have moved forward. Perhaps, the feelling i had lately hitting me hard... perhaps.. perhaps.. Review: Don't mess with the Zohan Movie about a israel special agent who wanna a change in his life and made his way to New York, America to fulfill his dream being hair stylist. From the plot, it seem quite normal with the good-as-always theme - America's Dream. Everything is possible in America~! However, it touches Israel and Middle East(Palestine), making lots of jokes out of it. Most of the jokes are pretty extreme and most probably won't make them(Middle east ppl) happy if they see it. Moreover, it plays alot around sex elements which probably considered outrageous towards more conservative Asians. It's much more thorough than our well-known director, 王晶 (wang jing) who likes to include sex elements in his movies. But, well, I still can take it, at least it is funny (compared to wang jing 1.. which i hardly laugh of his jokes, but see it as low level joke which never entertaining at all) Thus, if you feel that you are open-minded, test your limit through this movie~! I would recommend you getting a DVD uncut version, as I doubt you could make any sense out of the movie in Malaysia Cinemas, under the care of our beloved government "parent control". Still, i find it a hilarous movie, just don't take it seriously, nor trying to view it from a high moral ground, else you would hate this movie very much July 28 life being a SRC it's over! one academic year of SRC life ended with the formation of new council. It's all started with a sudden question by Jasmyin in my car, way to 1U 2 years ago, which a result I fail to get ENGSOC pres, MESCORP, which is a result that quite surprise to myself. Well, comparing the post I have in previous years, surprisingly it seem easier to be SRC compared to an event director. Perhaps because this time, I never actively take responsibility to myself, helping things that shouldn't be under me.. etc. weird, huh? at least it seem i involve less in direct collision between ppl, parties, or watsoever. Anyway, quite nice to be SRC, get to know the inside story of SRC/STAD/Uni, and most importantly, get to meet various people from clubs and societies! Thank god I never get the deputy, nor run for VP. ha ha. I have always been enjoy meeting people, widening my social circle. It's quite amazing of what fate could do. If I never keep my promise with Jas, I won't be here, I won't be knowing that much of people, I won't be meeting back some friends that has been long lost, and it won't be having that much of occasions happened last year. Regret to be SRC? I guess not, (still never regret what I ever decide / done in my life.. review got la. :P ) regret to start tis blog? yes, as the points I would like to share is rather distributed and hard to be focused. So.. let's end here. Goodbye SRC life! July 25 Shanghai trip- 2nd visit for intel cup Day 1: Early morning get fetched by my bro to airport, at first plan to fetch me go university to meet up my groupmate but.. i forgot to bring camera! so end up sending me directly to LCCT due to short of time.. sorry, bro! LCCT, is rather simple and low cost as expected(but quite small ...). However, quite surprised by the number of tourists over there in early morning.. Malaysians can fly, eh? Fly, Fly, listening to Ipod while flying.. that's great! especially on Airasia which don't have (free)entertainment at all.... now i noe why everyone uses Mp3 player. :D Reach hangzhou, rush around to decide transportation to Shanghai, finally decide : taxi->train station -> bus->shanghai train station South->metro->bei chuan metro station->walk->nan ya hotel... Don't think it's easy as it's just 1 sentence, we spend from early morning till nite just to make to hotel... @@ Anyway, It seems HangZhou has changed a lot since 2 years. Lots of skyscrapers, condos, apartments.. It's so different from the small simple town I seen 2 years ago. Hopefully the people here is still as nice as last time, instead of losing themselves in this capitalism. Day 2: Due to required by our project(y still wanna make changes in a foreign, unfamiliar country...?worth taking such a risk for a minor feature? ), we went to technology city of Shanghai(Jalan Pasar la). Here, you can find basically anything from capacitor to high-end development board, PCB services, etc etc. Felt even more threatened by the rise of China when I witness here. I wonder how far could Malaysia go if they never realise such threat from China and do something on it... Especially seeing such innocence and carefree behaviour of our graduates... Anyway, get rather bored as I'm not such a technical guy.. Now I know y girls dislike to be with Engineer.. arr.. tat's y i'm single! (lame reason) Quite happy to experience the life of lower level people in China, when we have China-style mixed rice as lunch in narrow back alley, with dripping clothes on top of your head. The rice is quite nice actually, come in big portion, with free choice of 1 meat, 2 vegetables and rice. It's more than enough for us by just ordering 3 set for 5 of us. After that, stroke around NanJing road, and to shore of Shanghai(wai Tan). Doesn't change much from my last visit though.. ^^ Day 3, 4: Confined in room.. doing project.. @@ I thought we had finished everything!? Day 5: Presentation in the morning.. how's it? see my previous entry la! After that, took a small rest before going out to Shopping district of SHanghai, Xu jia Hui. Visited a computer retail complex(Low Yatt) too. Nothing much though, as shopping here and in Malaysia doesn't seem too much difference to me.. Day 6: Finally some solitude time. Took my Ipod, passport(avoid trouble), phone(at least can receive sms) and off I go alone area around hotel! (but forgot my camera!) It's feel good to travel alone, walking around the park, seeing scene of old parents having fun with their grandchildren, observing the grocery they have in hypermarket to have a glimpse of local's life, and have a leisure time in bookstore... Great to be alone in travel! Get to walk at my own pace(which is super-fast), see the things I like(which is very different from everyone), and stop at anywhere I want.. Back to hotel, and realise my group still having their rest.. @@ After some rest and lunch, off we go to museum while another group to Jalan Pasar(again..@@). Queued up for 1 hour before get to walk into the entrance of museum, which is never happen to our "forever empty" museum in Malaysia. Realise various nationalities in the queue, and get to "eavesdrop" some of their conversation. It's quite amusing when I heard a comment from an American couple stating "SHanghai is ridiculously futuristic, it's as though expecting a flying car flyby when u staring out the window". you could imagine how luxurious their hotel is when they described their bathroom to be transparent, able to seeing city around, as if a living map. Funny seeing drinks dealer hide and seek with police when queuing too.. Knew the reason of the queue when entering museum, the process becomes slow due to security check, which test every liquid and bags, and prohibits laptop from being brought into museum. China is getting serious in security due to Olympics.. HMM! Definitely cannot miss the opening ceremony of Olympics on 8 of August! Oh ya, the museum is quite interesting with artifacts range from currencies, calligraphy, drawing to Bronze work, statues and minorities culture. It's a great place to have a brief introduction of China dynasties and culture which falls along them. ^^ Next stop, Old Shanghai which John and Vic joins us, but Clement left the party with unknown reason...Fishy, he is. Video him on having a conversation with girl on bus too.. Clement Clement.. Youtube you baru tau.. :P Again, my 2nd visit to here, and I miss the Yu Yuan(Imperial Garden?) and Cheng Huang Miao again. ha ha ha. The food court here is very interesting as it gathers food around China and display directly in front of their stalls, cooked! You can see exactly what the food looks like, and just take if feel like trying. Great concept, I would say. After a short visit, we walk back to "wai tan" and took subway back to hotel, halfway only realise the train back to our hotel has stopped. Forcing us to take bus back, and paid more than we should for train..... Haih, such inconvenience for staying far from city area. Day 7: Ruined my own plan walking around JiaoTong University when sleep back at 5.30am, haih, I'm still lack of determination... Sleep till being woke up by Sir, and have breakfast, before going to Science center and spend whole day over there. Frankly speaking, it suits children(range from primary to secondary) more compared to adults like us. Rather basic theories and concepts are being introduced in the center, with interactive components and shows. Went back home planning to go JiaoTong University after dinner, but sadly can't catch a bus and plan cancelled, while Clement and Vic went for New World for night life till 1.30am.. Anyway, Goodbye Shanghai, may you success in Olympics 2008- Football! July 24 Intel Cup - Shanghai - Utterly bad organisingfinally, it's day to go Shanghai for Intel Cup 2008! Get quite anxious and
eager for the competition, not because of the trip(Shanghai isn't too exciting
for me, as it's my 2nd visit), but expecting to meet and interact with the
top(at least chosen) of various universities from mainland china and hong kong.
Exciting! Imagine, no one come to greet us or bring us to the hotel. From the time
we reach HangZhou, till we check in to our hotel! So, basically we do not know what is the flow of the competition or having any information on it! The only person we meet is Zhang, who rush out of hotel at night when we going for dinner, to brief us on the competition, which basically rather confusing and insufficient. At that time, we are shocked when we are told we are not allowed to see other teams performance, and only can go to the competition venue during our presentation day. 日本之最后二日 aaaa... blog entry lost. so, summary: early morning wake up go tsukuji fish market! Then take train to kamakura First, visit the Hachimangu鹤冈八幡宫, followed by "washing money shrine", which legends says the money washed will multiply eventually. I did wash some but apparently I used it up.. haih, I ain't too concerned bout financial as usual. Next, visit the big bronze Buddha, rather impressive~~~ wait, why there are two windows behind the Buddha? That's rather funny... Japanese.... oooo.. Apparently the inner of Buddha is empty which human can enter. There are several artifacts displayed in the Buddha, and also description of the construction technique of Buddha which could withstand earthquake.. Wow! (though not fully understand it) Continue our trip to XXX temple(forget its name), so far the best garden I ever visited in Japan! A mountain full of various color of flowers! Then, we stop by at North of Kamakura and visited a Chinese-styled temple (rather spectacular) before we leave for home... ZZZzz. Next day early morning, we left our hotel for the very last time and proceed to airport. Along the way, we stop by and snap everything around scaring to miss any of them and take our leisure time to travel to airport. Lastly, we take a small stroke around airport before taking off back to Malaysia. Sigh.. Good bye, Japan! July 12 第四日：回到东京序：总于继续写了，不懂，在这心情写还好吗？不过，再不写，恐已从记忆中忘怀，人真奇怪，要忘记但不能忘却，不要忘记的记忆却随时间而去~唉，比一个硬碟还不如啊。。。 July 01 第三日：京都之二 前：耽误了这么久，经历了这么多，（狗都看了，人都自杀了，还有。。。）总于继续写了。。 一大清早，就坐火车去稻荷，看稻荷神社也（狐狸大神！收获之神）到了那，还真早呢，店铺都未开张，纪念品店影儿也不见，参拜了主殿之后。。。。怪了，怎么没见鼎鼎大名的奉纳神社门啊？应该有很多个啊？慢！有个后山，走！ 爬山中，。。。 还是爬山中。。。 还在爬山中。。。 哇，怎么那门没完没了啊？ 对了，我们看到奉纳门了，真的好多呢！一路到山上都有，其实是各行各业人士奉上的，想不到，日本可把Web 2.0精神搬来现实世界呢！还变了明胜地呢！还有，好多日本人在晨运哦，而且好亲切，与我们互道早安。。 上了半山，时间差不多了，就下山去了，没看到神迹，狐狸大仙，请恕我们不坚定的意志力，见笑了。。 下到镇上，店铺才陆陆续续开铺，吃了好吃的番薯煎（应该是吧？老板介绍的，不知名食品，因为。。。不会读！），各类饼等，就回京都啦！ 哇！怎么那么多人啊？还好，我们是要回酒店而已，巴士地图在手中，万无一失，找到了较冷门的巴士线！问题解决！嘻嘻！ 离开酒店，二条城，我来啦！不过，这之前，到Nishiki 市场看看，下车，北边第一条街，疑？怪了，怎么只看到一条普通小街啊？问了警察叔叔（这名称，冒汗。。。），对啊？没错啊？啊！！！被骗来了！！ 不过，意外收获~ 姐买了浴衣(Yukatta)呢！意外进入一间店，老板娘好热情哦，不断解释，帮忙找适合的，可惜我姐不会听，老板娘看我懂些，竟然要我翻译给姐听。。。汗....还第一次用日本话杀价呢。。。 老板娘，好样的！ 好啦，二条城，我来了！ 幕府呢.. hm hm hm... 嗯。。。。不怎么样呢。。。。不如想象中那么宏伟，壮观，我想。。。 我还是“好大喜功”的人吧？（去了神州，觉得日本地太有限了。。。:P) 不过，还不错啦，至少不是庙了。。。:P 下一站~ 金阁寺！ 哇~还真的好“金”啊，加上它的倒影，塔顶的凤凰。。。不错不错~ 还看了一个百年像船的盆栽，疑？没啦？还真的看那金阁寺而已，还有，原来不能进去的~~ 还有时间喔，就到了行程外的龙隐寺，名字有气派吧？进去。。。“莲花”池？不，沼泽池？？？？？分水石。。。分泥石??? 还没看重点区。。。到了！世界遗产--石头花园！ 凝视。。。。 凝视。。。。 凝视。。。。 凝视。。。。 凝视。。。。 也不是七（七吧？）个石头？看不出所然来。。。。。。。。。。。。。。七个石头虽各不相同，但也不至于列入奇石之列。。。 算了，认了吧！我没慧根。。。。（失落。。。更主要是。。。入门票很贵啊！）江湖上的朋友们，若自认与众不同，骨骼精奇，就去赏石吧，寻常人士如我，还是 留下钱来吃章鱼烧比较好。。。 好啦，‘莲‘隐寺看完了，是时候回了。。。 嗯，赶上较早的新干线，不必那么赶了，不然赶不上酒店打烊时间，流落街头就惨咯。。。 好啦，酒店到了，睡咯！！！ June 22 Commit Suicide Suicide, has been existing among human as one of choice of solutions since ancient time. In past, when a king's servant think they have failed their emperor/ ruler/ king, committing suicide after their failure would be seen as loyality towards emperor. To commoners, committing suicide to avoid humiliation from ruler/slaver/ etc, is considered as a noble and respectable act. In war, ending own life instead of being captives of enemies are brave and saint. In present, suicide has been condemned by the society, being described as a cowardly act, to avoid from problem and troubles. There are some countries, committing suicide violates the law(which to me, it encourages the person to make sure he/she dies when she commit suicide. else will get sued!) All religions forbids their believers to end their own lives, claiming it is unforgiven by god and the soul will be sent to hell (wonder how many heroes have been sent to hell. ^^) Yet, regardless of efforts from all parties, suicide still remain a social problem among us. (and even threat to our safety - suicide bombing..) In Japan, there's a minister who kill himself when his mischief is found, with reason "being too ashamed to japan citizen"(wondering y dun he kill himself when he commit it, but after being discovered by public). Have you ever consider committing suicide? I wonder does this happen to everyone, but suicide does strike and dominate my brain b4, during my teenager age. However, it is not treated as a solution for any problems i faced, but just feel like leaving this world. I'm not sure why, but I feel unwanted by the world, and has no roles to the world at that time, thinking that it's the same with or without me. Probably it's due to rebellious thoughts, thus rejecting the whole world. Sadly, the thoughts do not leave me after i reach 20's. Lately, it strikes back especially during solitude moment. Again, I feel unattached to the world, and It seemed to me tat I have done whatever I wanna do in this world, it's ok for me to move on.. to the next world, if there's any. Perhaps, it's just like any game I have. When I get bored with the game, I might continue playing it, but will be able to stop it anytime I want, without caring what's the progress now. What's different from the game world is there will never be "New Game" selection or "Load Game" anyway, Since I'm typing now, guess i not yet commit suicide yet. ^^ (sound scary, as this blog entry seem to be forecasting I will be committing suicide soon) From what I felt, the reasons of ending own life might vary from person to person. To me, it's merely want to end the current life I have now (too bored, no future expectation, not looking forward to anyting....) , or perhaps gaining attention from others( as i felt unattached ma. so if someone do care bout me, then I'm attached to something here at least :P ), but not running away from problem(except u treat "boredom" and "hate to live" as a problem la), as to me, problem will always be able to solve, as long as there's a will. hm, last but not least, I dunno how to end my blog here, but since my thoughts are getting messier now, Guess I will stop here till I have something in my mind, or feel like rearranging this blog. Oh ya, again, I'm not forecasting my death here ya, so don't ask me when will i die. Afterall, I doubt I will plan a date to die, everyday seem the same to me ma. anyway, surely not 8 August, olympic ma! dun wanna bring any negative effect to it (thinking too highly of urself d la. duh!) k la. good bye! the real world!!(i mean i go to gaming, not dying!) |
