    Hahaha! a few of my friend posed me with an extra-hard question. "Why are you still single since you broke up almost 2 years ago?"

    I hope this will answer the question.

• I am very choosy.I am not good-looking. This is a fact. My mum says that I am the ugliest among all my siblings. However, I reserve the right to choose a good partner for life. Those who entered UTP and participated in PERMATA Orientation Camp for Scholars will undergo a personality test. The results of the test ; I am classified under "perfectionist". I seek for perfection in everything I do.
• I don’t see beauty as number one on my criteria list. Even if I have a pretty partner now, she will be full of wrinkles 20 years later. Girls grow old faster than guys. I prefer an independent girl who can drive on her own, who can do simple stuffs herself. Most importantly, she can COOK! (coz I can cook delicious meal too.) Of course, I don’t expect her to repair her own automobile and fix the toilet. That’s my job.
• Cash. I am still a student and my monthly expenses are covered by Petronas scholarship which is RM500 a month. I drive my own car to school, which means I pay for petrol and car maintenance. I am smoking ( which I aim to kick before marriage) and that cost me more than hundred bucks a month. And I don’t ask for even a single cent from my hardworking dad. (He worked hard to support the whole family and I do love him very much) That makes me not having extra bucks to splurge on my girlfriend.
• Sharing common values. I wish for someone who share common values and interests with me. This will make the relationship colorful and interesting everyday. When she look into my eyes, I want to see my world in her eyes too.
• I am still young to be tied by the responsibility.I believe as I grow more matured by time, sense of responsibility in everything will eventually took over my care-free life I am into now. Come on, I am just 21! I’ve seen tens of my friends "reporting"  to their girlfriends every single moment they are out from home and being "tied with a big big chain". I don’t want that.
• I have my lovely mother who make a big fuss over the girls i met and go out with. She cares for me a lot. I love her so so much. "She consumed salts more than I eat rice". That’s one of the popular Cantonese proverb used in life. I am a staunch believer in it. She met more people than I did and I believe she can "choose and recommend" the best ones among all the girls I go out with, whether they are normal friends or my date.

Did that answer your question? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

It’s holiday again, baby!

I came back home with a question from my mother upon my first step through the sliding door.

Mum : "Hey Ah ***, how many cans of beer you drank from the carton of Tiger beer in your room? They are all expired. Do you notice the expiry date below each can??"

I answered,

Me : "Is it??? I really have no idea all those beers in that carton are expired. By the way,mum, how much left from the carton?"

Mum : (Grins and broke into laughter) "Well, I am sure now! Finish them up if you can. I know you can. (laugh again)"

Well Mum, I take that as an instruction! =P

I am into drinking, but not too much. And most important, I don’t drink and drive. A perfectly chilled can of beer can really change my mood, especially on a hot summer night. I can feel the cooling and refreshing feeling once the yellowish "urine of devil" goosh through my throat! kekekekekekekkekeke!=P

I catch a cold yesterday "lepak-ing" too late until half past 3 in the morning. I am okay while working in plantation just now. After dinner, my nose starts to become runny again. I bring a roll of tissue paper to wherever I go. Be it kitchen, my room, living room, my brother’s room or toilet. I must bring a roll to wipe my runny nose. It’s really irritating and annoying. ( Ironic huh! I made myself catching cold,and i blame my nose! )

After a few cans of EXPIRED BEER, I starts to get sleepy now. I shall have a good night’s sleep tonight.

p/s : puipui ann..ur mother’s tomyam meehoon is really nice! =)

*** : My mum calls me with a very "sappy and soft" nickname at home. I do not dare to disclose it to people, except for a few close friends! Embarassing!

BEST BEFORE : 2006 - 10

     It was a normal morning. 6.56AM, I received a text message from Shern Shiou. "keefoo call back emergency".
    I did not realize the message as I was fast asleep on my bed. Suddenly, my phone rings and the ringing shakes me off my dream.
    I hold my phone. It is CiaoCiaoZai. Sudden rush of adrenaline knocks me completely conscious and at the same time, my imagination drift uncontrollably.
Fuck. Wong is not okay.
    I ran out to corridor and plugged in my headset. Shern Shiou picked up the phone even before the dial tone hits the second time.
    "Wong’s mother messaged me this morning. Wong passed away already this morning."
Fuck. Why can’t he make it till the next week?

Did my tears drop? I don’t know. I’m smashed, and i can feel my heart
splattering.

04:03PM, 6th March 2007.

Kok Hoe is the "so zai" in white shirt. He died due to heart complication and bacterial infection. Damn God that he is no longer with us. I know You love him, but we do love him too.DAMN YOU GOD!

He has changed my view towards the world. I grew up feeling prejudice to everyone, thinking everybody else is bad people. This make me a pessimist and  I don’t have much good friend in my life except for a few that i treasure a lot.

It was a rainy night when he called me for dinner in V3.The whole house members were going to cafe to have their dinner. Since, I had just woke up from evening nap, so I requested him to "tapao" some food for me from V3 cafe. I requested chicken burger set.

No food in V3 suits them that particular night. Added with overwhelming number of students waiting for their food at counter, they decided to go to V5. Knowing that no western food is available in V5, "so zai" wong ordered my food at V3 cafe and went off to V5 to have his dinner.

He came back from dinner with the others and handed me the food. I did not have the idea that they are having their dinner at V5.

He is a "so zai". He ate his dinner at V5 fast. He ran to V3 to take the burger. He come back and hand it to me.

It was a small favor, but his kindness changed my life forever. Rest in peace, Kok Hoe. Your presence will be missed dearly.

The headphone is
quite tight, doesn’t fit very well on my big head. Air Supply, All Out of Love,
unplugged version from the album Now and Forever.It’s her
favorite song. I like it very much too. I posted the lyrics here on my weblog
few weeks ago.

I
had a busy weekend here in UTP. I did not manage to complete all my work and
return to help my father in his plantation. Sure he’s very tired. I feel very guilty,
but I made a promise to myself that I’ll help him fulltime during the
mid-semester break holidays.

Sorry
that I couldn’t come out with blog post that I had promised before. This
semester will be the busiest semester as I am scheduled to go for internship
for July 2007 semester.

A lot has to be
done in short 14 weeks time. Juggling between family work and homework here,
plus all the hanky panky applying for job makes me exhausted. Really exhausted.
My back pain is getting worse too. I should consult a doctor as soon as I am
free.

Funny thing is,
I am dark for one week, and fair for the next. Well, if I’m at home, I will be
burned to red prawn under the hot sun by working all day long.

            Internet’s down.
I’ll post it up tomorrow. Not to forget, I had a wonderful dinner in 1919 Ipoh just now. My friend,
Siew Mei managed to gather 16 people out of 20.

            Thanks a lot for
the dinner, Siew Mei. You are really cool while driving from Ipoh to UTP. I gotta catch up more with girl
driver like you. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

2007

    Chinese New Year is over. Well, at least, the celebration is. This year’s CNY is more meaningful compared to last year. I get to visit Genting and spa. It has been 2 years since last  I went there.
    More friends gather this year even though the holiday is short, just 5 days. Usual "port" that we docked, Joanne’s, Khai Yin, mine and Thim’s house. "Kaki-s" are enough, just nice for a round marble gambling table with games that last until breakfast the next morning.(We went breakfast wan tan mee at Tian Loy Jalan Sungkai.)
    This blog is last updated 2 weeks ago. A lot of issues are going on in my mind right now, particularly issues on what i saw in these few days in Bidor, my hometown.
    I will be back this weekend after the classes and lectures. I will upload some of the pictures here to be downloaded by all kaki-s whom i didn’t transfer the pictures through pen drive.

smell??

i used to hate the smell of pot pouri. the smell is too strong that it stings the nose, like thousands of ants crawling in your airways and sting your nasal cavity.

heha~ not anymore now. i started to like it. actually just started 5 minutes ago.precisely at 09:55PM.

i still keep a beautiful vase that contains some pot pouris in it. it has a big cork sealing its opening with a dry leave in the middle of the opening and the cork. because i hated the smell, i put that vase on the floor at a corner in my room.

once in a while, I’ll open the cork and smell the pot pouri. if i touch it, the smell would linger on my finger for hours.

i wonder, if i keep that vase for another 10 years, will the smell remains?? will i remember the smell if i throw away the vase?it tickles me to something.memories.

memories fade as time passes by. our grandpa won’t remember what had happened to him during his childhood. even at 21, i don’t remember much of my childhood.my mum’s words echo in my head "you are really naughty when you are small.your feet are full of stripes from caning because you are too aggressive and naughty." sometimes, i grunt.Was i one??

IFs

if it’s true that ghost causes sickness, if it’s true that once we chase the ghost away, sickness will be cured, if there exist magical powers in this world, i want to be a "ghostsucker", sucking the ghost into me so i will become sick. i rather i’m the one who is sick.

pei ni complained to me saying that she wants to sleep. kinda weird. at 6pm, she says she wants to sleep. normally at this time, she will join us in the living room, watching tv.i call my mum to bring her into her room and put her into the cradle swing. not even 10 minutes in it, she says she wants to go out. she insisted, so my mum carry her out from the cradle to the kitchen.

all of a sudden, she vomits.a lot. damn a lot of them.i tap her back and more comes out. finally it ceases. my mum attends to her and cleans her up.i gotta bath too.she is still crying loudly. the mood in the house suddenly changes and everyone stops doing what they are doing to comfort her.

the smelly undigested food on my shirt is smeared with mucous and phlegm.i guess those mucous and phlegm might be too much for her small body too handle, so natural mechanism in her body force them out by inducing her to vomit.

for some of my friends who are soon to be mother, good luck. ghost doesn’t cause sickness.

    I was at BG hospital from 11 AM to 1 PM just now. One of my classmates had severe headache and i sent him to hospital. He was admitted to emergency dept.
    It was a 20 minutes drive from UTP. I parked my car below a few shady trees. Okay, cut the crap..Straight to the point. They are one of the a-million-strong-civil-servant.

• Forms and those paper hanky panky. The clerk at the counter took 10 minutes to fill in the forms. Do we need so much forms??
• Waiting time. Having have to wait another 10 minutes, my head starts to get hot. (I was really hungry) It is an emergency case. Not mild headache, mister.
• Rude medical assistant. I accompanied my friend into the consultation room, only being chased out because they think I’m watching them doing their work. (assumed)
• Lazy MA. One of the MA in the dept sneak his head out from an empty consultation room to ask how many minutes more before lunch time. I assume he’s skipping his work and instead having his nap in the room.
• Pharmacist. Miss, I need clarification of which and what medicine to be taken because i need to explain it to my friend. Ending up being scolded.

    This hospital is the same hospital that treated my broken hand wrongly one year ago. I swear i won’t step into this hospital again, but today i did it again. The MA (I was actually shocked that it was not a doctor who attend to a patient) did not correct the alignment of my fractured bone before applying "cement" (plaster of Paris) on my hand. Results?? I have a crooked little finger and a few other misaligned fractured finger bone.
    I went to consult an orthopaedic specialist and surgeon, 3 weeks after that. Know what did he said? "Why in the first place you went to that hospital?? You should come here straight away". Is that an insult? Pat yourself and ask.

CIVIL SERVANTS?? THANK YOU, HOSPITAL BATU GAJAH.

p/s : It’s disappointing that one million strong civil servant can’t even serve the 25 million citizens of Malaysia properly. That’s 1:25 ratio.

Take a look here. An article from Malaysia Today.

NIGHTMARE CONTINUES IN SULTAN’S DREAM STATE
http://malaysia-today.net/blog2006/index.php?blogid=1&archive=2006-12

On Thursday last week, I attended
Engineering Economics lecture which is in Pocket C. It was a 2-hours lecture
which I dread the most. Before Economics, I was in Highway Engineering lecture,
from 8.00 to 10.00 AM.

Sitting at the back row, (I am
always a backbencher) I slept for one hour and a half inside the cold lecture
theatre. I woke up 30 minutes before the end of the class when lecturer
announced that there will be an adjunct lecture by Professor Emiritus Dato’
Khoo Kay Kim titled “Hubungan Etnik- Dulu, Kini dan Masa Hadapan”.

It is a sensitive topic.

The whole floor was reduced to
silence. My lecturer made a joke about the motto of UMNO which in some way
resembles that of the adjunct lecture title; “Dulu, Kini dan Selamanya”.

Ethnic relations in Malaysia is
being described as “fragile” by our current PM and he further explain it by
“fragile and brittle, and may break if pushed a little hard”. True it seems, it
was the first thing I agree with him in all this 3 years tenure as PM.

Extremism, branding of Islam as a
religion that cultivates terrorism, syarie dispute cases involving Muslims and
non-Muslims, demolition of Hindu temples, Chinese temples and mosque
flourishing without control. The latest involving the curricula syllabus of
“Ethnic Relations” book used in public universities in Malaysia. Does
that seem familiar to you? All those happenings above crack the fragile ethnic
relations in Malaysia.

However, I beg to differ on a
point expressed by many Western journalists. It is extremism that leads to
violence, not religion. Religion is often being used as a tool of politics and
political parties in Malaysia are either religion-based or racial-based.

There might be two political
parties in Malaysia that claim to be the defender of Islam as well there might
be two or more political parties that claim to be the defender of their own
race. I see, too two political parties that claim to be multi-racial. 

The two politic parties that
claim to be the defender of Islam might fight and boo each other off in
Parliament, but they speak the same political language. Islam. The two or more
political parties that claim to be the defender of their own race submit to
order using “we must tolerate and live in harmony” to justify their actions and
words. The other two which claim to be multiracial doesn’t get enough support
and their strong and bright arguments are barely heard in the mainstream
newspaper controlled by either political parties or GLCs.

I am a Buddhist in my birth
certificate, but I profess all the religions that exist in the world. I believe
in Taoism, I believe in Hinduism, I submit to the one and the only one God, I
believe in reincarnation, I believe in God’s son, I believe in Horus (Jewish
God) and I even believe in animism. I quote from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), I
quote from Tao Te Ching, I quote from Jesus, I quote from Gautama Buddha, and
I’ve seen all the three forms of Hindu God in temples.

How diverse religion may be, all hold the same basic universal principles; LOVE, RESPECT and JUSTICE.

Put these 3 principles to practice in our everyday life.

And we don’t even have to read until the last page, holy book of every religion to learn that 3 basic principles.
