My flight to sabah was today, just now. I bought the ticket last year, when everybody was busy buying during promotion.
Many people asked me why go cyberjaya to study, when I can study in local uni?
I really do miss Sabah, especially new friends and church friend I met there. I planed to stay in KF if I have a chance to do so. I prayed for a car, super nice car. I planed to not to go back next sem break, stay to work in Sabah. Then, go to Australia at the next sem break, if ever ever possible for me to do so. However, that was previous plan.
Well, life is full with choices. Sometime, we do not realise it.
It's like why you chose to wear red colour shirt today. You chose it and don't regret.
In my next post, hopefully I tell you what I had missed an element in making decision. This cause my decision made late.
Another Turning Point
a night..
As I was replying SMS, while waiting the traffic light to turn green, I heard a loud bang.
I was a few cars behind the front line, second land from the right.
All cars were motionless, until a car from the opposite direction came to bang the traffic light near to me.
I didn't care too much, I continue my messaging, until a piece of glass flew toward me, and hit driver seat glass, left a sketch on it.
From the crashing sound, and the damages it made, I assume that it was driven fast, perhaps 80km/h.
Praise God that the car didn't come toward me, and the traffic light didn't fall down and hit me. hohohoho..
Praise the Lord !
Courage
At one yumcha session, phui heng asked me "Wat makes you to be couraged to change your course, from mechanical eng to mass comm.?"
I said " It was a wave, a big one. It struck my mind."
I wonder did anyone there understand wat it mean.
It was a question (asked), actually.
One noon. My hubugan etnik group member asked me a question -Everybody has a goal/mission, what's yours?
I stunted for a while. I say I want to a producer. One day I will produce a film and more.
Then I asked myself, what am I doing here, studying engineering?
Since then, I say to everyone, including myself -when you know what you want, you do it.
An Unforgetable Journey - Tip of Borneo
I thought I was tough enough. I thought that I'm fine. In fact, I'm not. After breaking up, there was a very sad feeling in my heart where I was trying to avoid to feel it. Soon I found out that I really need a time, my own personal time to get alone. I had been trying to avoid people, and not to talk to people so closely, or talking about emotional stuff. All I did was very formally -study, homeworks, n etc.
So, I thought of going to an beach hotel, to stay for one night or something similar. To the case of unexpectedness, the cost to stay at such hotel is more than RM1,000. I was "uhh...".
Rather than that, I went travel solo again. hahaa.
FYI, I went to Kudat. Do you know where is Kudat? emmm... It's the north part of Sabah.
Here the journey began.
I rented a Proton Saga 1.3, and drove all the way from Kota Kinabalu to Kudat (to be exact, my destination is Tanjung Simpang Mengayau).
The journey is about 3 hours. Along the journey, a lot of interesting thing I saw.
There were horses just at the roadside. So, can I ride, and take away?
There were dogs. I mean any where, many where, throughout my journey. I didn't take many photo while I'm driving. There were a lot of road signs like these "AWAS", "KAWASAN KEMALANGAN", "KURANGKAN LAJU", "SELEKOH MEMBERHAYA DI HADAPAN", and more. These sign boards really freaked me so much. The road was narrow, as a first-time-driving-a long-journey-in-Sabah, I had to be extra careful and alert. Btw, forget about it, it's secondary.
Now, let's go to the place where people like to take photograph.
I didn't like that place as much as the beach over there. Let me show you.
Can you see how clear the sea is?
I've told you, there're a lot of dogs.
Due to time and internet connection issue, I think I have to stop it here. Ask me to show you more on my laptop when I'm back, there's more.
(very hard to smile when I'm alone)
WARNING: The entire journey is extremely dangerous. Landslides are everywhere. Please don't do this with your own. You are advised to take a professional driver with you, by taking a taxi or a bus. In the 3 hours journey, anything can be happened to you. One silly mistake can take your life away.

Labuan
I went to Labuan for CNY.
Taking 3 hours ferry from Jasselton Point, Sabah to Labuan jetty, nothing much I can do in a ferry but sleeping. Fortunately, I got to watch some pretty-watchable movie, shown in the ferry, while I'm on my way to Labuan -Ong Bak and Mr. Bean the holiday trip. Not bad uh? At least got something lah.
Very soon after my arrivval, my cousin came to picked me up and so I stayed with my aunt.
Staying few days in Labuan, with a tour by my cousin, I found Labuan is a very nice place. I think that there has a nicer sea view.
I (we) can buy duty-free products over there -chocholates, alcohols, and cigrattes. That what usually people go there for.
Cheap lah, I think, I'm no expert in this field.
Besides that, you can buy shoes, watches at there, if you want to. It's a little cheaper.
One way ferry to Labuan cost RM34, and so with the return fare. After all, it's not very bad idea to have a vacation, or a relieve.
What a "Fish"
I went to Labuan, and bought some chocolates. There's a lot, so I pour some into a jar.
Then, I close it tightly, to prevent air to go in.
After that, I gave to a girl.
A day after that, she came to me. I thought she wanted to say thank you or something similar. Unexpectedly, she told me that the jar, she couldn't open it, it was too tight for her to open.
Hehee. It's nothing, but it just worth some laughs. XD
3.5, so what?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not discouraging you to work hard in academic. Indeed, it’s helpful for anyone of us here, if we get good result, if ever possible, everyone should get 4.0 (maximum score).
It’s nothing wrong that if you trying your very best to score 4.0. I shall say it’s never easy to beat the perfect score, and you would say, “Beat the limit!” or “Impossible is nothing!”
Things go wrong when one is ONLY focusing on his/her study. We need to learn more, other than our study.
“How to be succeed in study”, and “How to be succeed in work” is different. Indeed, these two is totally not the same.
To enter a primary school, our mama had done for us. It’s as easy as ABC for us, we just need to carry a beg, then, walk in to class every weekday. Where else, to enter a work field, you have to go through an interview. Our mama can’t help us in this area. We have to take our resume and start asking for job. Even your girlfriend got to know somebody “BIG” in a company, you still need to go through interview.
If only, you passed the interview, and they hire you, congratulation! But that’s not the end of the story, but, it’s just the beginning of the beginning. To be success in a working field Is a no-easy task.
Working field is complicated. You know, adults? I’m still a young adult though. How to get things done, in the fastest way? How to get other people to do things for us? How to lead?
No man can live an island himself. We are definitely working in a group, no matter what you are working as. A worker has colleagues, and need to deal with his boss(es); A boss needs to deal with other boss, to get business done; A painter who does his work all alone, he still needs to sell his works, he must deal with customers.
OK, we look at beggars’ work. Some beggars work alone, they sit on the street alone. To get his money, he still need to get contact with the people. Even beggars need to get contact with people. So, he should ask himself, “How can I get money from people who pass me by, since now the economy is so no good?” May be he can wear more dirty and more-holes shirt. If he thinks that, this shows he is doing his work, and I can say they are indeed bosses also, they start their own “business”, instead of working for people. (No offence)
Everyone needs everyone.
People are selfish. Yes, you are right. Questions should be asked on how to deal with selfish people. We, the selfish type also, need to deal with selfish people. To get a win-win situation, is one of the no-easy task.
One last question, “How to beat the rest?” With our CGPA 3.5 result?
3.5 can only beat people during the interview process. It’s only when the employer browse through all the job application on his desk. All the resume with result, less than 3.5, he filtered it away. That’s only how you beat people.
“Working” and “performing” are also two different things. One can work, but not performing, means he is working the wrong way. One can be working and performing, that’s normal where many people are doing. You just need to perform a little bit more, then, you are a winner. Now, there is one more type, where one is not working, but performing. Ahhh, that’s a high level task, and what I want to learn. LOL. Then, I can spend more time with loves one. LOL LOL.
So, we have to consider carefully, what we are doing now. Focusing on the wrong things, might take you more time that you could imagine to bring you back to the right track.
Point to me if you think that I'm wrong.
May God bless everyone of us with wisdom. Amen.
What an experience
I took part in Pesta Ang Pow, as a little Pengarah Teknikal. This event is one of the biggest event in UMS, which involved hundred over AJK, excluding performers.
However, I'm not gonna talk about the event. There were not many done by my part/unit. We did what most people dislike to do.
I actually learned a lot from this little event, with little work to it.
1. Leader must set a goal for his/her team.
2. Leader must motivate his/her team memeber, no body is going to work for them voluntarily.
3. Leader must control his/her emotions, even he/she facing great pressure.
4. Leader must have a balance lifestyle, to get physically fit.
Working togather is fun, especially with my fellow AJK. They are the best member i could ever get. Even we have very little man power, yet we have a great spirit.
Tasks with mountain high, done by 7 little strong AJK, is not an easy task. Everyone knows that.
We have 4 days roadshow before our Pesta Ang Pow, sometime we have 2 events (morning and night) on the same day. Roadshows were on to promote our Pesta Ang Pow. Then we have to set up the main hall. That week was so hectic for us.
rushing from one place to another, for the whole week. We were carrying PA system. Some roadshow we have to provide tables and chairs.
From day 1 til day 6, we have task on hand. I find it we have too little time to rest, when we need to get so many things to be done. Some night, we would have meeting, it ends about 1 or 2 am. then wake up early to attend 8am class.
With our limited man power, it's quite challenging for us to do everything.
However, we praise God, most things were done quite well.
The Meaning of Life
After so many things.
I'd been going after girls.
I'd been going after materials fulfillment.
I'd been busying organizing events.
I'd been trying hard to make myself look good.
I'd been trying to gain as many friends as I could.
I'd been traveling to places.
I'd been into quarrels.
I still find there's emptiness in my heart. Although there were many people around me, even my friends, there is a longer need deep down in my heart.
This emptiness is not simply anyone can fill up.
Now I know, I have been leaving God, my Lord too far away. I've not trusting Him like I did last time.
This Is My God
God is:
All-knowing and ever present (Psalm 139)

Back To Sabah
Looking at less people, and almost nobody on my floor, naively me thought that I’m gonna own and kings the room. Last time, I always was being bullied in room.
As I opened the main door, nobody inside, I was happy. When I opened my room’s door, I felt there was something preventing me to open the door. Forcefully I open it, and I found the window was shut, realizing that it was the room’s air pressure.
One out of four mattresses is misallocated, thrown to somewhere. The bed was “vandalized”. My cupboard-table was shifted, and tilted. Clothing simply put unfolded on one’s bed, a bed without proper bed sheet covered. As usual, it was dusty. The abnormal was my cupboard filled with weird dust. It was like a lot of white spots painted all over the cupboard, not my cupboard, but others as well in my room.
O my, what had my roommate done, after I left my hostel. May be it’s not him, may be. I can’t understand how did I manage to stay there last semester.
I really don’t want to clean up the mess. I don’t want to stay there. It’s too horrible to me.
Now, I’m staying my first night in Sabah at my friend’s room. Thank God for Yap, my friend to provide me a shelter. It shall be a temporally place, just one night, then I have to find another place to stay next day.
What can I do? I could rent a room outside campus, it’s just the transportation problem that stopping me to do so.
Pray, pray, pray. God has never forsaken me, and I know it.
Our Kuala Lumpur
16/12/2008, yesterday I drove my bro's car to him, then took bus back to Ipoh. In the mean time, before I went back to Ipoh, I went to some places.
Come, I share with you.
Low Yat Plaza: I went there, it's quite merry in over there, as there were lot of booth and lot of people. Holidays mahh. I went upstairs to check out some computer accessories, and guess wat? There were foreigners who look after the shop. Oh my? Not one or two, but mostly. Ahha. So, speak malay with them lo, no other way. I once reached to a shop a saw a quite-pretty-girl-lah, and she came over, I spoke to her. She looks like chinese, so I spoke chinese to her, she don't understand. Then I try english. She stil reply with funny language. I wanted to try malay, nvm la, I jz talked crap to her btw, as usual. I think she from china, taiwan, or other place... uh.
Petaling Street: Again I was shocked to see foreigners at stalls. They were taught by local boss about "petaling street price negotiation". They are still learning, I can see that, but dey r not bad weei, I tell you. They could ask you "Apa harga lu mau?" I went to other stall asking the price for a laptop beg. He say"$90", I say "$50 lah!", he say "Lima puluh? Tak boleh lah, 70 lah!" . . . so on and so forth. I felt kinda weird, and can say "uneasy" to see foreigners selling in PJS. not d same lo, talk BM in 茨敞街 haha, last time can speak kantonis, or mandorin ma. haha.
Healing
FYI, my grandma was admitted to hospital several days ago. For me such a bad grandson, only went to visit her today (12/14). hehe. I was shocked that I almost couldn't recognize her, as her face was fattened. She was sleeping when I reached there. After she woke up, she was crying in pain. "aiya, aiya, aiya ~"
So, I was emmm... console her lo. U know la, im not good at it. So I say "not pain de larh~" Soon or later, she cried louder than before. Then I tapped her like how my mom tapped me to sleep when I was small. That didn't work, she was still crying in pain. Oh my, I don't know what to do. I try again, say "guai lah~ (be a good girl)". Then she said, " it's not that I don't want to be a good girl, but its painful."
I looked around, I was still blur case. Then, I laid my hand on her, and pray. I just simply pray that God will take away all her pain, and I began to tap her. As I was asking for healing, in Jesus name, tapping my grandma, she started to slow down her crying. Wow, as I tapped slower, she cried slower too. That wasn't work before I pray, and it worked after I pray in Jesus name!
Wow, I mean really wow. God answered my prayer in immediate time. I would say wow again, it's amazing. Then she slept again like a baby in sweet sound.
Consciousness is growing without our conscious
As I move further, I saw a lot of grieves in my peers. They are struggling in their life, study, relationships, and more. Some of them did tell me, some I read from their blog, some I just know it. They were searching for accompanies, friends, or anybody that somebody would care for them, and could talk to them.
Did you know babies are sometime being left out by their families (including us)? We, when are we small, we had have not what we wanted. We wanted attentions, we wanted toys, we wanted care, or what ever, we did did-not get it, didn't we? For anything we didn't get, what would we do? Some of us will cry. Then, mama will come and console you. After that, we smile back, and started thinking that the day was brighter with mama.
Then, how come when we grow older, we don't get what we want, we don't cry? Why won't we get okay after getting consolation from other people?
We are thinking too much, as we are "old". Firstly, I personally think crying is good. Why we don't cry? People just don't want to express them self, because this is too much to reveal their weaknesses. They know how people around them look at them, they assume people will look down on them. The consciousness tells them.
Secondly, why don't people get back to normal life, like we are younger, after people console them when they are sad. Consciousness tell them, "things aren't as easy as you thought."
Children are easy-minded. Children just need to eat, sleep, and play. While we, young adults need to study and work hard to earn a living. Children can absolutely depend on parents, we cant. Is that what you say?
Our so called "wanted-list" in our life is getting more and more. We want money, fame, pride and so on. Desires in heart is growing with us. These desires are different compare to when we are young. Desires of kids are easy to be fulfilled, desires of adults are not. So how?
haha, I would say, drop out some of your unwanted desires lo, and start living a simple life and you will get more happy. Somebody please agree with me. haha. Yea, I do agree with saying goes "stupid people are tend to be more happy."
Conclusion. Wow conclusion? Yea, conclusion in MUET stlye -As I said, while we are growing in age, our consciousness grows with us. "The more knowledge, the more grief," says bible.
May God Bless You. Amen.

Buy Camera, Buy No Camera?
After browsing all the brands and models of camera, I still don't know the differences between brands and models. LOL. How to compare?Well, I have found one -Canon Ixus 950, I think my bro use that model. I find it quite cool also, as it has a long ... emm, long range between lenses? ahha... i dunno, as long as it's long, i dumbly think that it's cool.
BTW, I have done a little bit changes to my blog header, and add some .gif pictures. Can somebody give some comments? So I can make it better mahh.. ehehee
The Happy Times
My school life (looking back to memories ... )
We had funs, as a friend.
Sometimes, I have a taught that "short hair" in school is nice, at least it's simple. =D
Change
Things that never change is my house and my parents. Although my house aged, and my parents get older, the feeling in the house and the love from my parents is still the same. Although my house got nothing to eat, it's still my house, it has never changed. My parent's love is still there, although they hardly show it out, it's the same with when i was a child.
No matter how far we go, our parent's love will remain the same. No matter how long we go, our house is still the same.
Same as the love our our God. He loves us since the day He created us. Today, He still loves us like the first day. It has been more than thousands years. It was the same, it is the same, and it will be the same. The love of God will never change, and it never has changed. Many things will change (perhaps friends, promises, technologies, knowledge, flights) but one thing will remain till forever, that is the love of God.
Update 001 =)
Life has been tough here. I hardly trim my mustache. Don't mention it. sigh.
Yet, I will giv u guys a smile :)
