Being great

Today was a hectic day. Someone wasted my time for the whole weekend. I was angry mad but never mind, that someone doesn't worth my anger. I would only blame myself for being stupid. Sigh, whatever...

Had class til 5.30 pm. It was raining when I was going home. Luckily traffic wasn't really heavy just now. Forgotten to bring my umbrella today. So I got to walk in the rain as I parked my car quite a distance away from my house.

Unbelievably and undeniably, I enjoyed pacing slowly in the rain. I almost played with the rain water. Okay, that was childish. But it gave me a sense of tranquility after such a hectic and tiring day. I felt great!

Being great doesn't mean one has to have tonnes of money or being extra beautiful or being extra smart. One can be great in his/her own way.

I felt great by just walking in the rain.

A father, who works hard to support his family is a great father. He may not provide the best of everything for his family, he may not be the richest father in the world. But he is a great father because he does everything to provide the best he could for his family.

Today's human mindset is you could be great if you have tonnes of money, successful, pretty, smart, and bla bla bla. What a realistic and materialistic world we are living in.

God didn't create this world so that we can earn money and enjoy our life using the money we get. God gave us so many things in the world.

He gave us water.
He gave us food.
He gave us five senses so that we may feel the beauty of this world using our senses.

That's the reason why I enjoyed walking in the rain. I felt great.
The greatness of the world is not for us to earn but for us to feel with what we have.

It's him, Jason!!
everyone shouted like nobody's business when he came onto the stage.

this is the stage where he stood and sang.

a closer view of the stage

We met Gary and cam-whored :D

we cam-whored too :DD

Ok, it's about Jason, not us.

He sang for about 1.5 hours. The guest artist was Penny. I was happy to see both of them singing on stage. They are my favourite singers:)

I almost gave up going to the concert because of the heavy workload. Luckily I went. I was happy that I went.

We bought Jason Mraz tee shirt and wore it for cam-whoring purpose before we left.

I was there, in Stadium Negara to see Jason Mraz.

Excuses

I didn't think I was perfect when I was writing this post. I was just annoyed by people who kept on giving excuses. Actually, I really wanted to overlook this attitude I saw in some people. After all, it is their life and who am I to give a damn about what they do/say. I was very irritated. Anyhow, I hope this post can make those who read my blog and have this giving-excuses-attitude to really ponder about what I'm going to say.

As a human, I believe most of us are imperfect. I certainly believe that we need to evolve or at least throw away some bad habits in order to become less and less imperfect. Even in dealing with certain matters, we need to give our best so that the outcome may be as good as possible. Allow me to give an example here:

A: You need to discipline yourself to come on time.
B: I tried...but there is always something that delays me.

This is an excuse. If someone really put priority in things they do or really want to change to become a better person, he/she won't give any BUTs. Giving excuses is really a bad habit. Some even say : I really wanted to change but it's a habit, and I couldn't change.

I certainly believe that a habit can be changed and taking habit as an excuse is really a bad excuse. If someone really set his/her mind to change, he/she won't give any excuses or at least won't say BUT. Giving excuses will only let you to be less determined and disciplined to change.

OK, I might sound very very bitchy here. So, it's up to you to continue giving excuses or stop saying BUT and move on.

PLEASE QUEUE UP !!!

I really couldn't understand some of the people out there. There are some Master and PhD students in my lab. Ok, I salute them for their motivation,diligence, hardworkingness, and determination to continue their studies in Master/PhD. But! I tell you, these people really don't know how to respect their juniors, as in those undergraduates. It really irritates and jerks me, a lot. Ok, everyone is under the same, kind-hearted supervisor. Me think everyone should tolerate each other when it comes to using equipments and machines in the lab. Just bear with me, this post is about complaining those unrespectful people who don't know how to respect others.

Case 1
I was using a magnetic stirrer the other day. It was a newer one compare to other magnetic stirrers i.e. it has indication on how high is the temperature and how fast is the stirring speed. So, I was halfway using it. Then, a PhD student came and asked who was using it. I said me la. Then, she continued, "Saya nak guna la". What more, it means, I need to remove my stuff and let her use it. What the fart! I was using it and she demanded that she wanted to use it also. She doesn't know how to queue up is it? Today, when I got to the lab, I didn't see the magnetic stirrer anymore. I suspected that she kept it away so that others couldn't use it. How cruel and self-centered! She thought she was the only person who wanna grad and has to go for viva. Hey, me too, ok.

Case 2
Out of no where, a Master student just appeared today. There is a humidity chamber in my lab. The chamber is really small and I and my labmate take turn to use it. So, it is good that we tolerate each other. I like this win-win situation. I let you use it, you let me use pula then. This Master student is doing a topic, exactly like mine and by the time I complete my labwork, I will only get a degree but she, a Master. Ok, so I am a bit tak syiok here for I think it is super unfair to me. I couldn't do anything because it was not under my control that she got that thesis title. Ok ok, apart from this, she demanded to use the humidity chamber. We need to use it to dry up our stuffs 3 days in a row. So, without asking me whether I need to use it, she said she would use it today. I left something in the chamber and she kinda said something so that I would pandai pandai took my stuff out and emptied it for her. What the fart. She didn't even work or do something to get this chamber. It was I and my labmate that put in effort to get this chamber. So now, I need to LET her use it and she's not even going to tolerate or ask me when I need to use it. Hey, you think you are the only one who needs to grad is it? BLOODY FOOL!!!
My labmate ordered some chemical 8 months ago and the chemical flew all the way from Sarawak to UKM and finally, we got it in our hands. We only got a little bit of the chemical, just enough for us. Then, this BLOODY FOOL called my labmate and demanded my labmate to give her the chemical. Didn't even say please. She wants it, and she wants it. You know what I mean? So demanding. Such a BLOODY FOOL.

Case 3
This is about undergrad bullying undergrad. There was one coursemate of mine who bullied Shengwa. Ok, someone bullied the Fierceful Shengwa. Shengwa booked to use a machine until the month of April. He was drying something inside the machine and this girl, came and altered the temperature and speed of the machine and used it, without asking Shengwa's permission. Another typical bloody fool. I also got to know that she stole people's Duran bottle in another lab. Gosh!!! A university student, studied so much but in the end, became a stealer and a rude person. Is this is what Malaysia education system is all about or it is her damaged-brain-cells problem??

These people really never think of others feelings. So rude. Mensia-suehkan the image of a university student. Gosh!! I wonder why do I meet these kind of people in my life at this stage. I thought education help to mould someone into a better person. Unexpectedly, they become worse. Even worst than a kindergarten student, at least a kindergarten student knows how to queue up when going into a bus. Shame on them!!!

thinking of you

Yesterday, I broke down and cried. I was thinking of my dad, again. Haven't cried for almost 2 years every time I thought of my dad. I was kinda glad that I was able to cry when I thought of him. I feel more like a human now. Maybe I was just too stressful doing my assignments and projects, where all the deadlines were approaching soon. All the memories just came back like a lightning striking thru the gloomy sky. It was fast, yet terrifying and not easily forgotten.

Last CNY, I went out with my friends. We had tea at a cafe in my hometown. We were chatting all the way until a point where we were out of topic. Then, I started to look aimlessly at the people walking in and out the cafe. Then, I was thinking, maybe I might bumped into my dad in that particular cafe. The reality then pulled me back and gave me a hard smack on my face. I realized that my dad weren't here anymore. What was I thinking? Was I out of my mind? Gosh!! I was very sad back then and quickly told a joke and my friends and I laughed and I got over that matter soon.

I could still remember the feeling when I saw you lying peacefully in the coffin. It was heart-aching. It was so memorable. A peaceful face, like you have left behind all the troubles and problems in this world. I still wonder why God took you away. I have no one to blame and I don't want to blame anyone for your dead. After all, it is life, people come and go.

I went out with a friend today. After we ate out lunch, we sat in the restaurant and I started to tell my friend about my dad. I cried, in the restaurant.

I know I am very stupid to think this way. It is very idiotic, too. Every time I go out, I still have the hope to bump into my dad although I know it is impossible. Every time I see any uncle walking on the streets, I thought of my dad. His shadow is everywhere.

Whenever I'm alone, I think of my dad. Hate the feeling of being alone...I know I'm being very pathetic. Feel so tired hiding all these behind my smiling face. I am going to live in my own little closet, once again...

platonic love

By Webster's definition, platonic love:

1 : love conceived by Plato as ascending from passion for the individual to contemplation of the universal and ideal
2 : a close relationship between two persons in which sexual desire is nonexistent or has been suppressed or sublimated

I still don't understand. So, are the 2 persons in a girl-and-boy relationship??

Somebody, please explain... i know, my English sucks!!

Chocolate, by Patchi

My sister brought a box of Patchi home this CNY. She told me the Patchi's chocolate was very costly and hoped that I appreciate it.

So I ate the chocolate and found it heavenly delicious. Gosh, it was very tasty that I savored every bite of it. All in all, I didn’t underappreciate it :D

A picture worths a thousand words. So, let the picture do the talking.

The Box (it's not just any box, it is The Box)

it consists of 3 types, as you can see from the shapes in The Box

It is called Gaite.

it is a milk chocolate filled with 2 big almonds in it.

The other two were Royal and oh gosh, I couldn't identify the other one.*me think it is Modernity*

See Patchi's chocolate menu here.

Anyhow, I tasted very delicious chocolate and I shall have no regrets in my life anymore. Muahahahhaha...

Anemia

There was a blood donation campaign in my fac the other day. I went to the campaign, was thinking to donate my precious blood to help save others life. I attempted to donate blood 2 years ago but failed because the guy said the iron level in my blood was not sufficient. That day, I went to the campaign, hoping that I could donate. Again, the guy said the iron level in my blood was not sufficient. I went with high expectation but left with tremendous disappointment. Sien diao…

I googled in what to eat to increase the iron level in my blood. The article I read stated that I must eat more eggs and leafy vege. I eat all these stuffs everyday but still my condition remains intact since the past 2 years. What the fart…

So, I told my mom about it and asked her whether I should go to get myself some iron pills from Pusat Kesihatan(PK) in UKM. My mom said I should and encouraged me to go. Since seeing doctor at PK is free, so I went :)

I waited for half an hour before it was my turn to meet the doctor. The doctor advised me to go through a blood test to see the difference before and after I take iron pills. So I went to the lab and the lab assistant extracted about 30 ml of blood from my body. Gosh, 30 ml…I got the result and went back to the doctor.

The doctor said my iron level is just sufficient for myself to survive alone but not enough to be donated to others. In other words, ANEMIA!!!! She said my diet was okay just that the iron level in my blood is a bit low compare to a normal person. I think all the iron tends to leave my body when I was perioding. Maybe they prefer the vast outside world to my tiny little body. Kidding…

So, the doctor gave me some iron pills just enough for me to consume for 2 weeks. Apart from that, she also gave me vitamin C and folic acid pills. She said merely taking iron pills, the iron won’t change into blood in my body. So I also need to take vitamin C and folic acid to turn the iron into blood.

Hopefully, my blood will be full of iron after 2 weeks :)

Iron

Vitamin C

folic acid

People change

People change. Everyone is evolving. Everyone just has to evolve. Some people are constantly evolving, while some might just evolve once in a very long time.

Lately I notice that some people around me have changed, tremendously. I am so shocked to see them change. I am shocked but not happy because they become worse.

Do people change because of the cruel environment? Or people don’t change at all but just reveal who they really are, after so many years I know them? It’s really saddening to see them treat you differently, as if you guys were strangers, from the beginning of the relationship.

I really couldn’t understand, at all. I always think that relationship is about taking and giving. I thought I was giving all the time and expect to take from others. I was wrong. I am still wrong. I still give but I don’t seem to receive at all. Am I hoping too much? Am I hoping for something I shouldn’t hope for?

making choices

we need to make choices at some points of our life. some choices are easy to made, some are difficult. normally, human would always make choices after he/she lists out all the pros and cons. while some might just cast coin and let the fate decide for them. some might even elope and let the reality consume them, little by little. wise choices are difficult to make. sometimes, a person make a decision just to satisfy the people around him/her.

undeniably, human is selfish. we always strive for the best, hoping that our life can be better. in the process of achieving our ambitions, goals and targets, we indirectly hurt some people around us. aren't we selfish in a similar but different way? some people think that by doing what they have to do to achieve greatness in life, they are already successful in some way. they think they are contributing to the world but don't realise that they are just as selfish as they claim others to be.

yeah, life is not easy at all. people would always have little or some comments regarding the things you do. having the need to attain what you want in life and enduring how people view you as a decent human being is not easy at all.

sometimes, we just do things that make ourselves happy or at least try to live happily in the little world of our own. sadly, most of these sometimes would lead people to have some comments on how we live our life. it feels so tired trying to make yourself happy and at the same time, bring happiness to the people around you.

sometimes, the choices are not left for you to decide on your own. some people around you make you choose what is not your best option so that they might be happy. in this way, they are making themselves happy and not caring much about your feelings. aren't this being selfish in a similar but different way?

so, can i really choose what i prefer or what i think is the best for me when i'm making choices or i can only choose to satisfy the people around me?

another point that must be highlighted in my life!!!

welcoming 2009

The New Year's Eve celebration the other day was fun. about 20 of us celebrated the countdown to 2009 in a club at Asian Heritage area. we were at Maison that night.
i really had a lot of fun that night, got to know new friends, got to see some coursemates and got to go to club with friends that i can trust and rely on. yeah, it was fun.

jia qi-chee wei-yun xin- seen-me-tze khang
(yun xin and tze khang were 2 of the new friends i met that night)

tze khang-yun xin-me-kean-shengwa-seen-chee wei-kk-half kengsern
(kk, another new friend i met that night)

i kinda hated the sofa at maison, it was so awkward and i didn't know how to sit so that i could spare some space for others. the decoration at maison wasn't that bad. for me, it was kinda spacious and it has a balcony facing the DJ. but the musics were lousy and i didn't enjoy the musics very much.

me-yun xin-chee wei-seen-kk
(we took this picture at the balcony when everyone was passing by, like nobody's business. we tried sooooo many times fitting our faces into the camera screen. the fact has proven that kk and my face are too big. we should start dieting now!
ps: i likey this picture very much)

that night, we saw a lot of transexuals in maison(no offence to them). they were even sexier than us, the ladies. i salute them!

after the countdown to 2009 at the dance floor, we went back to our lame sofa and hang out there until we left the club. we drank and danced to the max. almost everyone who went that night commented that i was drunk and out of my mind. only seen and chee wei knew i wasn't drunk. i was high and happy. hey! it was the first day of 2009, cheer up and be merry!!! to seen and chee wei, thanks bro!

chee wei-seen-me

ps: going to club doesn't make me a bad person :)
