Caterpillar

A caterpillar changing into a butterfly.

The munching Caterpillar, it has to eat a lot.
Later, it sheds its skin when it grows bigger.
It eats its own skin too.

It grows into a chrysalis.

When a butterfly a was trying to get out of the chrysalis, the butterfly was struggling. A boy saw it, and he felt bad, he pity the butterfly, so he tried to help the butterfly to get out of the chrysalis, he cut open the chrysalis. But the boy did not help it, instead he just killed it.

The butterfly need to beat the chrysalis to strengthen the wings. By beating the chrysalis, the muscles of the wings grow strong.

Sometimes, things just need to be learnt by the hard way. Even when a baby learning how to walk will fall down, but that is the way the baby learn how to walk, no way the baby can learn how to walk by using shortcuts. Sometimes, letting go and let the to baby fall down is not really a bad thing for him.

Looking Back At The Road Not Taken

I went back to my secondary school a week ago and surprisingly I was nervous. I walk straight into the office to check for the certificates. But sadly, the Ministries of Education still haven’t sent that piece of paper to our school yet!

It has been a year since I finished my SPM. After taking the results, I was so happy for what I had achieved. But I have no idea my future would turned out to be like this. I was hoping, not I actually, my family and I was hoping to get a scholarship. I prepared so many things to apply for the major scholarship but all said no. GAH!!! I wanted to go overseas so I applied for the JPA scholarship. But this also disappointed me! I was so frustrated at that moment. I do not know where else I can go. Form 6 is one of my options but again the government sent me to matriculation. SAD. So my name was not in the form 6 list anymore. I was not prepared for matriculation. I had no idea what was that. I did not know what to do. I was so lost.

I did not expect to go for this road. I never expect I will go to a private university. I said this during secondary time, " private school is not for me, those school are only for rich people.” Now I take it back. I am sorry if this statement offended you. I also feel a bit offended. Haha. I said that mainly was because I only know one path to a degree. In my mind, there is only form 6 and public universities. But after the results, I really wanted something else, something that can offer me to somewhere better with better prospect. Well maybe I am really not good enough for the government. In the agreement of the JPA scholarship stated that upon graduation, the student have to work with the government for a period of time. Maybe I am not up to par.

I went back to my ex-school and the feeling of belonging was not there anymore. I am not a part of Keat Hwa. I was but not anymore. I thought of going back to Keat Hwa because matriculation is so not for me. I struggled before I decided to leave KMP. Seriously, that is one of the hardest decision I had ever made and I know there is more to come as life is really full of obstacles. I really did not think of going to private universities. I am sure my secondary friends know that. *I hope* But some just do not understand the “things” behind my decision. You are not me.

Keat Hwa is really a good school to live your secondary school life, full of adventures and it is always a challenge to be a student in this school. If someone lost his aim, he is not a student, he is the “hero” of the school. In my 5 years of secondary school life, I had observed most of the thing in the school and it was interesting.

When I met with the form 6 student, I was feeling awkward. The stares –.- and the whispering, maybe I am just too sensitive. Maybe because my hair. FYI, that school is like a military school. --- crew cut--- but form 6 student are exempted from this rule. Or maybe is just me being too self conscious.

Can u pls use that damn signal light!

Hate those people who never use the signal lights when they want to turn or change lane!

Went to Tesco

Decided to go to Tesco before the Christmas break! haha. Just simply walk around and went to had dinner at a random shop! Had fun at the shop. Tasted great food! (because it's cheaper than the food in Tesco)

We did some stupid thing last nite! We went into 2 shops and then came out without ordering. Haha! We also bought a cake as it is michelle's birthday. So we plan the party at 12a.m. today! Not really a surprise though! After that, we went out to wait for the bus! Photo session!

Some random pose!

Pose again

Jacy's neck!

Happy

Went to do some shopping therapy. Boring little Mid Valley... So my friends and I went to The Gardens. Yeah! FUN... I like shopping there. Like it so much.

People always think that The Gardens is not a place for them to shop. Who create this kind of stupid theory. If they dare to open the door to do business, then I have the rights to go there to shop. Find the right time to shop. Thanks God. I was so lucky and I bought a nice pair jeans. woohoo.

After shopping, I went back to Mid Valley to watch movie with my friends. Since they don't want to go to GSC Signature @ The Gardens, so I have change plan to watch another movie as the tickets for 2012 had already finish. Watched Phobia 2. Quite scary. The other people went to watched another movie, Ninja.

I wished I could shop a little bit longer...

If anyone have this thinking that high class place is not for you. Then you are wrong. You don't have to wear a tuxedo just to go there to shop. Just wear something presentable. I am comfortable with what I am wearing as long as I did not wear something stupid. Sometimes, even stupid style can be fashionable.

Yes, you may not afford the stuff there but is it wrong to just window shop. Never look down on yourself. If those SALESGIRL stare at you or showing faces, then they are stupid. They are just worker of the shop. It is not like they own the place. Only stupid people will act like that.

I totally understand now

I learnt from my mistake and I will not repeat it anymore!

I like today

The sunshine, the breeze, the peace... but good time doesn't last long!

At least my clothes are drying!

Direction, Places , Food and Shopping

Here is something about me.

Thanks to my mom and dad, I learn a lot of things. 

When I was still a small, cute, young, energetic, and "slimmer than now" little boy, my family and I travel a lot in the country. ( no chance to go to overseas except Singapore as I come from a average family, but I still feel that I am luckier than a lot of people. ) My dad always drives us to many places to search for good foods. That is why I know a lot about foods and where to look for good foods. In terms of recognizing places, I am quite good at it. When I was small, I thought that this skill is so simple, why my dad keep on saying "can you recognize this place?" I was small, but I can at least know where am I. Now I know that actually a lot of people can't recognize places well. I am grateful that my dad can always travel with us so much. We actually did spend some quality time together.

In Juru, you can find delicious 菜糕[chai kuih]，In Sungai Petani, there is a very famous 云吞面[wanton mee]. In Penang, food are everywhere. Ipoh, 酿豆腐[yong tou foo] in Pasir Pinggir (don't know whether correct or not, but I know is under a very big tree.) Next is 豆腐花 [tou fu hua] opposite an old 点心 [dim sum]shop called 富山 [fu shan]. In Chemor got a shop selling delicious 鱼头米粉[fish head meehoon] and a very famous 大炒["dai chao"]．There are a lot more but can't list all of it here.

Let's organize a food trip around Malaysia. So hungry!!!

^(This explain a lot why I am so fat) wakaka...

Last time, I used to come to KL a lot. My mom alone manage to bring the 3 of us from Pudu Raya to Sri Petaling. There is a possibility that not all moms can do that. [ being cautious, academic style ]. Haha... From there I learned how to take LRT or KTM around KL. Thanks to my SUPER MOM, I most probably will not get lost in KL.

Good thing about shopping is you learned about directions. You need to know where you are and how to go back to the parking lot. Because you can't refer to the Sun in the complex, you need to have a good sense of direction. Some people will get lost in the complex...

^(This is why I like shopping so much)... hehe

Look Out !!! Point

Last Thursday, 8th of October, I went out to look out point. I was in the canteen with my whole gang of friends, then ann came and asked us to join her to go out to have dinner. I also didn't know why I felt like going so I followed and I was so happy because I had a whale of time.

The Menu!

My drink on the left, ann's on the right

The beautiful KL night view.

To celebrate Ann's sis and another friend bday.

ATTITUDE

a=1  b=2  c=3  d=4  e=5  f=6  g=7   h=8  i=9  j=10  k=11  l=12  m=13  n=14  o=15  p=16  q=17  r=18  s=19  t=20   u=21  v=22  w=23  x=24  y=25  z=26

ATTITUDE = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100*

HARDWORK= 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98 (NEARLY THERE, BUT...)

You have to have good attitude to be successful. Every human has flaw, but having good attitude helps. Those who bully, use foul words, always negative... please LAH!

I will always be positive and practice good values to have a good attitude! 

Not to be perfect here as no one is perfect, but I just want to be a better man!

* learnt during a talk in KMP

Attitude! Personality!

Do you notice that glass can be mirror too. If the room is dark then there will be reflection of you. It is a mirror then. 

I was walking to my faculty office then there was this guy walking in front of me. When walked pass the admin building, there are glass panes. Then he kept on looking at the glass, I knew he was checking himself out. Then this thought pop out, do people like to check themselves out all the time, whether they look good or not. Actually the answer is so obvious, YES! 

Everyone want to try to look their best. But some just over did it. It backfired! What were they thinking. I know I am nobody to judge but wearing like that (can't describe it here) ... to class! I know it is their style! What about those who always act as if they are the best! Talk like others have no feeling! Wear like they are the fashion king or queen! 

What about their reaction. Get a MIRROR to check out ''your"  face. "What with the face", "SHIT". Just imagine other people look at you as if they are the greatest. I just can't accept this kind of attitude. I don't know how to tell this in words but try to imagine! 

"Everybody has different kind of personality." I know this. But why some just have bad attitude and personality. Really, if you experienced what I had just did, you will know why I post this blog. Just can't wait to slap that STUPID, ARROGANT face. I was like ... and ... and ... 

Speachless!

Times square trip

Initially I was not in the mood to go out, but my friends already asked me and I wasn't sure whether to go or not, eventually I went with them, haha... Because they said they don't know how to go there, so I had to be the "guide". LOL

I don't really like Berjaya Times Square though, because the place was not organized and I don't really like the area - Imbi and Bukit Bintang. I prefer Mid Valley or Sunway Pyramid. But still I had fun.

I tried Wendy's and I like it so much. I never tasted such good burger before. I really like beef burgers now. Haha.

Went to Mid Valley

Funnest part was the movie.

The Orphan - very nice movie.

Simply had a dinner. 

I was so lost, don't know what I did in there the whole day?

A new semester

This semester is so different. So many people are here. Have to rush for lunch... dinner...Internet, worse still, sometimes can't even connect from my area there. Haiz, have to go to "TISCRA" - computer room to go online.

I have to concentrate more already. Cannot procrastinate. That is why have to go out in the first week if not then don't have the chance to go out after the first week.

Yeah going back to hometown

I was getting ready to go back to hometown. Packing this and that. So after that, I went SA to wait the bus… I was so happy at first, then everything was so not like what I had expected.

When I reached Kajang KTM station, there was a long queue. I waited for my turn to buy ticket, I asked the guy, “ ada free trip ke KL sentral jika ada tiket ini?” You know what he replied me? “ Oh, belum, train ini pada pukul 8p.m.” DUH that is my ticket of course I know the time, then he straight click click click then is he ask for RM2.80 for the ticket to KL Sentral. I thought I can use my ticket back to hometown to take KTM because I did that before… Haiz nevermind, (btw, if you do not know, I took the train back to hometown. (now typing in train)

Waited for the stupid train for like half an hour. OMG, was sweating man! OK then the train came and because of the delay, everyone was rushing to go into the train. Next, I went to stand in the middle (in between the seats.) I choose not to stand at the door area there because I know there will be a lot of people standing there and some more another one of my friends lost her phone in the train AGAIN. So I think before I went into the train. Besides I chose to stand (no more seats, KTM is so damn lousy la)  there because there was a guy standing beside, father to be exact, wife and daughter were sitting and he was standing. So I thought that it would be quite safe to stand beside him and not the foreigners. [you know what I am talking right]. Because of Hari Raya, all FOREIGNERS came out to shopping. Later, the whole KL will be theirs as all local peoples went back to “kampung”.

When reach the next station (Serdang). More people are coming in… OMG… Later more and more people coming in especially was Mid Valley Station. Some more the Police knocked the window and asked, not asked actually, commanded the people inside to more toward the centre so that others can go inside, OMG centre mean the place I was standing. Stupid la… How to move, inside the train was already cramped like hell… So not understanding. Never mind, I was so hungry until I had no mood to care about that and I have to take care of my stuff. I was so anxious because of all the cases… phone stolen, wallet gone… bla bla bla… Thank GOD I am ok.

After Mid Valley is my stop. KL Sentral. I had to squeeze through the narrow spaces between each and every human. Quite a number of humans were getting down. So I have to move with the flow. Some were pushing and others just being pushed out. Whereas I had to let the little ones first. OMG. Another guy was even funnier. He said to everyone like talking to himself, “ slowly la, don’t push.” Guess what he was the one who was rushing. He just went out of the train just like that didn’t even care to let others go first. The people who were coming in made things worse. Keep on squeezing in… Pls la… this is not LRT, the doors are not automatic. ( I think so because the train stop at KL Sentral longer than other station.

After leaving the super duper cramped coach, I quickly use my instant hand sanitizer to wash my hands. Felt so dirty after touching the handles. Haiz,..  Then went to upstairs to look for SUBWAY to have my lunch. ( already 6.p.m. ) I just ate breads for brunch. Then I ordered the SUB of the day. I thought got free drinks, BUT no, he told me is until yesterday. Haiz… Then bought my dinner from Mcdonald’s. Brought it to train. Now here I am in a small little bed. 

tests are over

Yeah... Finally I feel lighter now... so I am enjoying life, went to pavilion and also going to mid valley.

I had a fabulous time in pavilion... yeah wait for the upcoming blog.
