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.

Jason Mraz, live in Malaysia

Yes.
Jason Mraz came to Malaysia.
Jason Mraz performed in Malaysia.
Jason Mraz stole my heart away.
Jason Mraz almost made me cry.
Jason Mraz is very very very very good.
AND I MET JASON MRAZ ON 4TH MARCH 2009.

4th of March 2009 was a very historical and memorable day. I went to Jason Mraz's concert that day. I watched him performed live. He sang superbly great. He's fantastic and I grew to love him more...

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!!
