Update

It is been 3 weeks already since the new semester began and I still don't have that loads of assignments and anything to keep me busy. I already finished reading two story books and finished watching a Korean drama and life is still dull and boring. Nothing hectic happens to me so far and it is way way too boring here. And if this continues, my 2010 resolution of gaining better results compared to 2009 will goes down into the drain because I will lost the momentum (well, currently in highly spirits and very motivational to study and what a waste if there is nothing to do). But for sure, in my 6th semester, I decided to majoring in Instrumentation Industry for my studies.

Well, from the beginning of my life in UiTM, I actually decided to roll in Electronic field just because I wrote in my school's biography that I wanted to be an Electronic Engineering, but things doesn't and never going as what we had planned, right? It is not because I am not good in Electronic that I decided not to roll in, well I am good at it actually but I decided not to bound my life to what I had wrote in 2005's school book. Besides, I lost interest in Electronics due to a reason that will not be revealed here. So, I took the Instrumentation Industry. I don't know what it is and 3 weeks already I still don't get the pictures of what am I learning so far. What to expect in this field? Well, I don't know that too.

And last 20th January is my 22nd birthday, thanks to everybody for the wishes and prays and gifts and treats too. And not to forget to my house mates who celebrate it the traditional way of throwing the flour after the football game, it really stickied to my body and hairs. Thanks all. And surprisingly, most of the wishes that I got said "hope all of your dreams and wishes come true". Well, what is that? I don't remember if the wishes years before were something like this too, but if it always being like this, well it is like telling you that your dreams and wishes will only be dreams and wishes, they never get into reality. Well it is so true actually, I never have my dreams come true. Not because I dream big, but because I don't have the 'kick' to make it into reality. Anyhow, all of the wishes are still the best present and whatever wishes they are, they made my day. But I hate disagreed when people telling me this, "22 years old and never tastes love, Happy Birthday" (well sort of like that lah), well it makes me feels like I am having a problem with my social life and of course I am not. I am just happy the way I am now and not having a girlfriend is never an issue to me because I am not anyone else who thinks life is lonely without a partner and I think otherwise. And again, thanks for all of the wishes, everybody is great!

Hope For A Better Year

Like it or not, 2009 leaves us all in many ways we all never wanted it to be. I love seeing 2009 passed and hope 2010 can offer me better. Well, for me, everything in 2009 is not going very well. For both semester in 2009. I got my PNG going down, well it is always going up during 2007-2008. I know it is lame blaming the years for my downturn, but I hope it motivates me to do better than yester-year.

But, 2009 brought me seeing many great and famous people around Malaysia (yeah, Malaysia only, don't have chances to going out). Making friends also great during 2009, I make a lot of good buddies during the time. [Sorry la Safwan pasal member2 ko, aku harap 2010 ko jumpe member2 yg best dan cool nnti. Haha] Most of new friends I made are within the Neo's club. Well, why not, I've been into 3 clubs already and the second one is the best ever experienced. And I hope 2010 will brings me into knowing more fellows at the faculty. Well I am most sucks knowing people at classes, I don't know why.And I hope blogging will be much better in 2010. Compare my post in 2008 and 2009, how it decreased so much~

So, as for the preparation to enjoy for the whole 2010, I had bought myself a camera. Well, it is a Lomo type and I get a Holga 135BC only. Hmm, it is always my dream to own a camera but the technology sucks my dreams away. Since the creation of DSLR type, camera is never any cheaper. all priced at the blood sucking range (I quoted a good and a high end quality camera, so it is expensive, who cares to buy the not so quality one?). So, after getting a lomo, I assume my childrenhood's dream came into reality now. So, why not click HERE. I created a flickr for my pictures and to share with my friends and currently only one roll of film had been developed, others will coming soon. If you want to buy one, it is cheap, really cheap. Ask me if you don't know where to get it because I've already joined a lomo's society. Hehe.

Well, Happy New Year everybody! Have fun!

ps/ so much hope had been poured for 2010 and it is only 1st of January, I'm freaking out now if I can do it or not.

Not A Rock Not Yet A Diamond

Few days ago (actually it is not just few days ago, I frequently visited his page but few days before are too boring so whenever I am online, I was there.. haha), I was sticking to Paultan's blog, he is an active automotive writer. He writes about cars all over the world and he is Malaysian and of course he writes about Proton and Perodua too. And I am more into his Proton's writings, not because I own one, well I like reading about Proton and despite everybody's doubts and hating towards roton, surprisingly, there are still many of them are eager to know and have an updates about Proton .

Surprisingly, Proton has gone beyond more than I know. They have built their own engines which is the CamPro and CPS, starting to develop the electric vehicle technology, the still under development hybrid system, our own turbocharged engine!!!, the first national MPV, and a very highly regards the MEM Proton Satria Neo Super 2000 rally car(weeewwiit!!). Well, look at that! Look how much Proton had moved. See the differences at their early years when our first national car, Proton Saga was rebadge from the Mitsubishi technology of Japan and their current achievement at global stage? Proton now and then has improve so much in less than 30 years, well I just can't help proud of the national car.

But too bad, so sad there are still people out there who are still bashing and hantam the Proton as if Proton never change from 20 years ago. These people are demanding more from Proton. They want Proton to be fast at least can beat the Type R, they want the quality to be like the BMW or Merc, and there are some idiot out there who likes to compare Proton with other highly regards manufacturer such as Audi, Bently, or Jaguar. Well, comparing is good, but at least let it be on par la. They want good things from Proton but want a teh O kurang gula price. Some people going very good about saying not to proud driving a national car and die in it due to lack of confidence in safety measures, so 'stereotyper'. I hate these people (especially the Japanese car fan wannabe), if they have much money, okay that's good, go make your own car and have fun.

Well, these people forget why the Proton was built at first place. They forget about the low class family in Malaysia who can't afford a pricey car. I believed Proton now is in the right path for success. The reason they build such 'not so quality' cars is because to make sure that they can target every economical based classes in Malaysia.People in Proton has a business mind and they cannot leave the poor but need a car rakyat. Imagine what if Proton doing all of these fast and highly quality where when you crash into a lorry carrying cows and the car did not split into two, I don't think my grandfather could afford to buy his new Proton Saga BLM yesterday everybody can afford it. And I hope Proton would never in their mind to produce any fast car because as we all know Malaysian drivers are reckless and immature in driving. Worst, try to imagine if there is no Proton. What would happen if Proton is never here. Imagine those foreign manufacturer came and selling their cars at high prices because they knew, without local cheap cars, they can selling their products higher and their accessories also will be tag at a car cost. Foreign monopoly is not healthy to our economy, it is way dangerous.

Anyway, yes I do agree Proton are still much backward compare to other manufacturer, they still need to make changes. They still have many problems to counter. What I can hope is they do a lot more R&D, try to make everything cheaper especially their after sales service, and still being competitive and relevant. They are not shining like a diamond yet but in the future I believed they will shine and they never be like they were 20 years back when producing a tin milo car. Well, at least there are no more power window and gear box problems like we have heard before, but if there is any, it is minimum compared to years ago. But still as a Malaysian, do not condemn the them, support them and be proud to have a national car manufacturer.

Aritu Tu Aku G Bercuti

I still remember that day back in December 2005. It was raining and there were no electricity at all at the hostel but everybody's mood is at their own peak because it is our last day of SPM examination. Well, the feeling of getting out of school is good, very good. It feels my entire burden has been lifted as if God has blessed me in the non successful of two hours EST examination examination hall because the feeling is so calm, so peaceful, so doped by the very extraordinary emptied brain. Hahahaha. My youngest bro just finished his SPM and well, it just reminds me of those good days.

So to celebrate the fact of there would be no more in our siblings sitting for SPM, we have a nice trip to Penang last weekend. Well, the celebration is just an excuse so that our parents would let us go having some fun and of course giving us some money. Yeahaa! (And I'm bringing along my cousin who just finished his SPM).

The trip was a lot of fun. I wonder why I like so much travelling to northern region but I know they have a lot of nice places. The main agenda going to Penang is to be at Pesta Penang, to ride those crazy adrenaline rush machines. (If you never know what Pesta Penang can offer, well they have machines just like the Genting [not the mesin judi but the roller coaster and space shot stuff, well something like that] have except the Pesta one is more crazier and crueler, trust me).

Overall, the trip is a great one and the only thing that spoils my vacation is my exam result . It was released in one of those holidays. Well, again my grade is a little bit going down and thank God I am still in the safe spot but now is under a very very deadly parents' watch. What can I say, 2009 is not my academic year. My grade going down in both two semesters in this year and I hope 2010 will be just like 2007 and 2008 and would be much better. Anyway, just like last semester, the frustration is not permanent and I would be lazy again but I hope I would change, for good that I hope.

Broke Broke Broke, Got No Money In My Bank Now

Yeahuu, this semester break is so much of fun. I did not involve in any working area. I just stay at home. But the fun only happens after my 2 weeks of struggling to find a job and sadly I didn't found one. Working, hmm all that I wanted is only one month and nobody wants to hire me for a month and most of the reason I got is they are waiting for the SPM school leavers to apply, well probability these dropouts kids are staying longer than me. Even after begging I don't mind I got my salary being cut off, they still don't want to hire me for only a month. And now, it is too late already to find a job because I won't make any one month working time anymore.

Well, actually I am in needing some money now. Though the minimum I can expect to have for this semester break is at least RM500, I failed to achieve even a cent. Well, there is so much I want to do with the money that I am so desperate now. I need to buy new clothes, a new laptop (yes remember, mine was stolen and yes my parents do help me but their allowance to buy the new one did not suit my budget. hoho what a spoilt I am), and the most ridiculous thing I want to do is upgrading my car so that I can enter a drag session next year, yeah, what a dream. Stupid dream I guess. But I really really really want to join at least one drag session, it is kind of cool I think seeing my friends joining it. But, never mind, it is just a dream and dream will always be a dream.

I know RM500 is too little to get everything that I wanted. But at least, at least, at least...... well I don't know what I am hoping for. Even getting a job is hard enough what else to make a RM500. And I know asking from parents is an okay but I don't think it is a good solution. Come on, I'm 21 and going 22 in just a month (everybody, get ready for this.. haha). And my parents already agreed to pay for my car's major service and it is superbly expensive, I never can afford to pay the service charges and plus I need to do some tyre replacement because the old one has a problem with wet traction and I had skidded several times and it is dangerous and my mother is well convinced yippee. So they had spent a lot of money there for me and I didn't have the ball heart to ask for more money. Okay, let's eat the frustration.

Now I am happy working at home. To pay back their kindness for paying the stupid expensive maintenance for my car. From racking leaves at my house compound, washing the cars everyday, clean the house, cooking. Sounds easy right but surprisingly it are way too tired and I never get everything done until now. and I'm doing this because my mother still cannot find a replacement for her house cleaner which retired for a year already. Well, a cleaner where she came every weekend to clean the house, yeah that type, we don't need a full time maid that's a waste I we think, and now I'm replacing her for almost everyday. Now I wonder how my mother keeps the house clean all this year, it must be a tiring session. I cook? Yes cooking, I love cooking and I wonder why I didn't push harder to get into culinary course years ago and now suffering in engineering world, but thank God that pain is sweet. But it's okay, I am happy now doing all the house chores. It makes my love for my house grew bigger. Home sweet home and the sickest thing about these things is I haven't going out for almost 3 days and it sucks. Boooring!

At last, after a whole year missing my sister, she is back from New Zealand. Well, I don't missed her that much but my parents do, seriously I don't, haha. And she is here bringing along her friends so that I can choose which one (or two or three or four) I want to take as my girlfriend, flocking into my house (and they stay for several nights!!!) leaving my dad and I being uncomfortable in our own house (seriously, there are many of them). You know what, at first meeting (with my sister and ALL of her friends) my face really gets blushed. I can feel my face warmed and its getting hotter, and hotter and hotter and warmer. Oh my God, all I can do is pray so that nobody noticed it (though I know they are all not blind). hen, don't know how red it can be and I don't want to know it either, I chiow somewhere else. I don't know why I easily get blushed when I am with girls who I am not familiar with and it always happens(most of my friends know this). Then, the next day when I know more of her friends is coming to the house and stay for a while, I decided to leave my dad alone with the girls, have fun dad! pack my things and moved to my grandparent's house. Haha, shame on me for being such a cocky shy boy.

So, I read this when I was with my grand's.

Reading from the covers, the title is Book of Tomorrow by Cecila Ahern. Well, I think this is the newest from her and this is my first time reading her book and I don't know her. So, reading some synopsis at the back of the book, the impression about the story is about a book which tells about your tomorrow. And the main character in the story, a girl name Tamara has to decide what she has to do with her already-know-tomorrow-fate. Then I read, and read and read and I found nothing interesting about the book. The book is a crap. The story is all about the girl's life and the ending is only about the girl's life, means there are nothing about the mysteriousness of the book revealed which I was hoping for. I don't like the story, I don't like the book. If you're a girl, a good girl, this is a good book for you. Good boys don't read this book, bad boys don't read this too. This is a girl's book. I regret buying this book using my last part of my scholarship. What a waste (that is why I am so angry hormonal upset now.)

But if you're planning to stay at your grandparent's house for a while and they have nothing to feed your fun-and-enjoy-till-die life, so this book is not that bad to read but still, it is a bad book. So, don't buy this book! (unless there are some terrorists putting your neck into the edge of the sword forcing you to buy this book, so you buy it)

Move On laa

Remember Hai-O? The one who appeared in local television with stupid acts and makes everybody in Malaysia laughed out loud over the expressionless advertisement, do you remember it? Well, if I'm not mistaken, Hai-O is the company who distributes the water filter which carried the Bio-Aura brand, correct me if I'm wrong. Well, think again, why do we need the water filter and why selling the filters could make people rich.

Water filter, hmm, I do have one at my house, not a Bio-Aura product, but a kind where you put the filter before your tank so that the water in the tank is already filtered. Well, I am not to brag that my house has one, but to appoint why do we need them? Take a look at your water bill, what kind of service do you pay to the contractor (at my place it is Air Kelantan Sdn Bhd) where the rates are so high and all that you deserved is a gold-like coloured waters. I know some of the rates are dedicated for maintenance, for supplying the waters, for the amount of water received, but the exact amount of bills we pay here, do you know at the more civilized (modern) country we can get a cleaner water supply. It is clean till you can drink from the tap, do it here and the next few hours you'll get cholera that I'm sure.

Ever heard any business man from Europe, American, Oceana get rich because supplying water filter? Noticed that in film people from these continents drink right from the tap? Serving the guests with water from the tap! Well, that's what I want from our own tap. Give me reasons so that the bill is worth every cent. Come on la government, open up, wake up, make these contractors improve the water quality. Think what happens to those who can't afford to buy the damn filters. Last morning they buy new white clothes, the next day the white colours turn out gray. And the worst will go to school children, I had once during my primary school, it sucks. Now I have grown up, the quality never improved, I ought for improvement.

PS/ wish somebody from the water agency to read this.
