Merdeka?

It is my home country's independence day today. It feels odd not celebrating in Malaysia for the very first time. Perhaps, given that there is no holiday today, I did not feel the mood at all. No flags waving on the cars or on top of someone's house. Hmmm... Whatever it is, I feel people's spirit is quite dampen. The constant politic that keeps bombarding the papers has reached an untolerable rate. Can you guys just stop for a second? I feel like talk in front and give a punch to every sinlge politicians. Stop being so dramatic. Isn't Asian very nice and gentle people? I think Malaysia's politic arena is not really clean. Keep backstabbing each other. Well, we are not at its infancy years anymore people. So, please wake up!
There are so many problems to be solved but all they care is their positions, who is right, who is wrong. Personally, I don't care. Just do your job. Aren't you supposed to serve the people, not yourself? Judging from the current state, I feel angry but when it reaches to a point where nobody cares, then only the politicians will know they are fighting a losing battle.
Whatever it is, I still love Malacca. Read carefully, I type correctly. Only Malacca, not Malaysia because somehow I feel not Malaysian anymore. Where has the spirit gone? Drain? Well, maybe something is just not right. Forget what I am crapping about. Just here to wish all Malaysians "Selamat Hari Merdeka"

Is it daring or stupidity?

An incident occurred last night when I was on my way home after having dinner for a friend's birthday. It happened at a pedestrian crossing. While I was patiently waiting for the light to turn green, one guy,roughly in his mid 20s was crossing the road. On top of it, some cars were coming quiet fast. Unable to foresee what was going to happen next, I some sort of shouted but low volume, "Eyy, eyy" to that guy. The weird thing is he just stared at me as if I was crazy. The cars were coming! Surprise,surprise.... The cars actually stopped for him who was crossing halfway. I was in such disbelief. Not only the guy crossed as if his datuk punya jalan, the car did not even horn. Such strong pedestrian power in Australia huh? In Malaysia, you will either be horned to death or knock down to death. Hmmm.. I am definitely feeling the culture shock now. Kind of think of it, I should not say anything at all. I acted as if I am the one at fault for calling it out. Phew.... The guy was probably drunk and with such arrogance. Fine......
And I just finished watching Australian Idol. Super awesome but not as good as American Idol though. The thing I find quite strange nowadays is that contestants today are very daring to talk back for any negative comments received. Should I say they are way too confident or stupid? People, if you are really that good, why aren't you signed with any recording company? The judges are plain right in commenting the genre of music they are singing do not suit them. But oh well, the generation Y has strong self belief. Not to blame them but please do some self reflection. Do not take as if everything negative statements are aimed toward criticizing you.
Hmmmmm... There you go. You should decide whether are they daring or plain "naive"?
Blogger pissed off by the way people behave today. So rude!

Buka Puasa Night

Today, Malaysian Society has organised buka puasa night. At first, I was invited to the event. Actually, I have decided to go and then my friend said dun want to go. Yesterday, again he said want to go. A few moments later,hesitated again. And today, he finally thought about it and asked me, " Want to go ar?". I felt like give him a whack on the head but never mind. I see things at the end result which is to go.
The food is overall not bad but I love the rendang. Sangat sedap lar... Unfortunately, second serving is not allowed because there is not enough to go around. Had some fun with friends. I realised there is quite number of muslims in university of sydney but overall are minority in the uni itself.
Test is coming la but I am addicted to the bejeweled blitz game on facebook. What!!!!! I am shocked myself too. Such simple game can get me addicted. The information system note is sitting next to me,lurking for me to touch it. Later ok? Don't you see I am blogging? Fine, I am so frustrated right now. I feel bored but the last thing I want to do is study. Hmmmmm. Understanding where my energy of studying for a few hours straight has gone too. Probably went along with the cold winter wind. Haha... Just plain excuses.

the thing between interest and have-to

It has been awhile ever since I read a newspaper. I just can't fathom why I somehow forget that I have this pleasure of reading newspapers every Sunday back in Malaysia. I will read for hours and hours,escaping to my own world. I find it amusing to read different things that revolve around me ranging from food,travel and economics.
To be able to find one's interest is truly a blessing I should say. At least you know you like what you are doing, just like how some people who love to doodle, play football and even read comics. Interest is a very interesting thing. You know you like it but you somehow don't know why you like it. What I am trying to say is everyone has different interests. The thing you have interests in might not be what others like.
With the recent announcement of new assignments, I am constantly worried when should I start them. I think I get too carried away worrying when I am supposed to sail through them enjoying every breath of it. Perhaps, my goal has turned from learning to marks. I hope I can find an interest in the subject for me to enjoy doing the assignments. Not everyone will like the same subject but I treat the subjects that I don't like that much a little different. I will just hope I can get at least a distinction for it. This attitude has to change because it is not consistent with the purpose of learning. Learning carries a wider definition beyond things you don't like.
As a student, my duty is to learn them so that it becomes useful one day. But I am wondering how information system is going to be useful to me in the future. Hmmmmmm....
Blogger in a dilemma of choosing the things he likes to do and the ones he dislikes

Demotivation from own act

It has become a trend recently for me to check out people's blogs almost everyday. My gosh... I must be pretty free then which actually is true. I dislike reading information system stuff and the mid semester exam is coming soon. No idea comes to mind if anyone were to ask me: What is Information System? Anyway, I will try my best.
Also, I would like to bring attention that if one opens more facebook or anyone's blog, I think one will feel more demotivated. Can't comprehend why I would feel this way. Maybe it is because people keep saying they are sleepy,hungry and lazy. Maybe this sort of stuff comforts others but it definitely demotivates me too from studying but to watch anime instead. Yeah, that's the way. Blame the rest and point fingers without reflecting one's own action. It has become an obsession to me. Two activites that can keep me away from the internet will be reading storybook and watching televsion. Hmmm... I guess reading a book is not that bad but watching the tele is definitely a big no no as I am now watching almost 4 hours of anime per day. So,to watch more means I am done.
One particular blog does interest me. This blogger is particulary has it's own distinct characteristics. First of all, she likes to curse but I understand the culture has now turned to one that curse for everything although they don't really mean it. But, I am getting used to it, paradoxical in the sense that I don't curse. Second, her point of view seems true to me. It makes sense as the topics range from asian stereotype to Malaysian's idiosyncracies. I hope she can update more often but with less of the vulgarities. Haha.... Ok, I need to find something to do already. Ciao.

A fruity gathering

Yesterday was quite a day. I was out for the whole day from morning until night. In the morning, I was supposed to have a discussion with my friends in Information Systems group. Apparently, I was late. Yah, typical of me to be late for all the time. I was also almost late for my previous semester first exam paper. Nothing to be proud of.
Then, we went for lunch and grocery shopping. My Malaysian friends group has decided to have a small gathering. The thought of making salad came to my mind. So, I began to think of what to buy in my head : watermelon,honey dew, papaya,orange and apple and the list goes. Unfortunately,papaya or known as paw paw here is not available for sale. But still, my salad is very laku because they used it to play games. So freaking excited man. There are two bowls of salad. Each bowl has 4 types of fruits. One person will hold one card out to see what colour of the card is and we associated the colours with the UNO cards. The combinations are peach:yellow, watermelon:red, green:honey hew and apple:blue. How ironic it was to have apple to be blue! And when one sees the colour, everyone is supposed to use the fork and pick up the right fruit,no more no less. So,it is full of fun because I was pretty swift and manage to see the clowny behaviour of the group next to me.
Full of fun the person with the highest punishment was supposed to sing but because it was very late already, we decided to postpone the singing to the next gathering. Thus, that was how my fruits become laku although everyone is very full at that time.
Cheers,

Sushi Chef

After postponing the plan to make sushi for one semester, my friends decided to make sushi yesterday. Yahoo! I think I am very excited because this is my first time learning to do sushi. One of my friends, pei jin is the chef of the day,teaching me how to do,giving some hints and guides. But I do come out with an idea to put scrambled eggs on top of the rice,which I love it. Haha....I saw it somewhere before. Thinking of trying. The first few ones were pretty ugly but the more I did, the more I like them. Haha, I think maybe because I don't settle things for second best. I kept doing until I like them apparently.
I kept eating while making the sushi as I am freaking hungry. By the time I am finished, I am pretty much full. Quite glad when pei jin's housemate commented that we can open a sushi bar. I know it is a bit exaggerating but at least now I can say, I made sushi before. This picture is my breakfast for today... Still tasted great. Thank you master ng.

Music listening

I have been bored on friday,particularly because I only have one lecture from 9am to 11am. After that, I am so free until nothing comes to mind when I am thinking how to spend my free time. Thus, I am now spamming other people's blogs. Haha...not so much of spamming. Just a read and listen to their cool musics. Kudos to people who have good music taste. I am real fan for some of my friends' blogs because I love their music for example rong zhen and agnes. But after a month of listening to rong zhen's music, I got tired. Currently, I am really into Korean drama,entitled "Cinderella Man". However, although I have fast internet connection, that website is so freaking jam that I have to wait watching the drama. Ended up giving up watching yesterday.
This drama is a combination of romance plus humour. Of course the element of romance has to be there, if not I will not consider it in the first place. The actor is quite popular which is the main actor in the drama "Stairways to Heaven". Love the songs in too. I rated it a 4 star drama. Quite high considering the fact I am very picky when it comes to korean drama. Their stories are like at my fingertips. I am confident I can score higher in korean drama than any of my course subjects. boring ma i should say. Who likes to study all the time? Har,har,har....
Much to my amusement, my rekindle passion for anime has returned. Now, it is "One Piece". Hoho... I don't realise I am actually an anime fan until my friend told me ," Wow, you must be an anime fan!". Aikksss. I am beginning to embrace the idea I am indeed an anime fan afterall. Good thing. Now, I have one more thing to say about myself. The story is about a pirate encountering friends along the journey in search of a treasure known as One Piece. But this anime has 400 plus episodes. Good because I can continue to watch until n period of time; Bad because I don't know when I can I finish them. I am watching at a rate of 20 animes per week. So,by the end of this year can finish d guar. That's all
Blogger on a very free day... woo hoo!!!

Sleep deprivation

Recently, I have trouble to sleep. Not really recent, just yesterday because I had a weird dream yesterday about someone. In my dream, something bad happened and when I woke up, I could still remember I cried in my dream. When I was suddenly awaken, I checked whether my tears were real or not! Terrified, I begin to question is this some sort of message someone tried to send me. Irregardless of what it is, I hope it will not come true. When it was almost time to go to bed yesterday, I purposely dragged myself until very late so that I am completely tired before turning into my slumber land. I heard someone said that if you are really tired, you won't dream. How false is that? I dreamt again, this time I don't remember the details but I know it is unpleasant. Wei... please let me go can or not?
I know I am crazy talking to the natural order of phenomenon. I even have to calm myself down before I went to bed which I think I slept at 2 plus morning. This dream has better stop if not I scare my sleep deprivation is getting worse. But fortunately, there are some friends who are there to tell me it is alright. Come to think of it, none of my dreams has actually come true. I am glad to notice that by now. Hoping to night will be a good night to slep again.
Deprivation of sleep makes the blogger tired today.

I am not me or I am new me?

These few days have felt like a roller coaster to me. I don't really know who am I anymore. It feels rather odd. I was very sure who I am. I know what I am doing, what to expect from others and what others expect from me. Then, up to a certain moment, I felt tired. Tired to be playing the puppet I did not feel like playing anymore. I guess this is where individualistic characteristics appear somehow. I really ponder why am I feeling this way. Weird,strange and awkward. I never have this kind of feeling before. I am often very sure of what I want.
The problem crops up not from me I guess. Maybe, it is the environment that is changing. I need to step up my game to be more independent. Learning to know what others want may not be a priority anymore. I feel useable. Haha... That's the adjective for it. I don't want to be the person that only exists because I happen to be there anymore. I will exist for I want to be there. Well, it might seem illogical but at least I know now. I begin to see what future beholds for me. A more mature self. Wish saying is the same as doing it. Things in reality do not happen like this.
My rekindle obsession with korean drama is beginning to take on its toll on me. Forgot that I have a quiz to be submitted on Monday. Haha.... rilek la, still got sunday ma. Hmm..... I begin to love the korean language too. This language has been bombarded in my brain until I feel like learning korean language in my next semester. An nyeong ha se yo. This is the only phrase I remember from my previous lessons in taylors. I am not really serious at that time in learning korean that time. Regret a bit but still happy because one phrase is better than no phrase at all. Lol... what the hell is this lol. So many people have been using this short form that I am influenced as well.
Not decided yet, been thinking to do double majors or not. Feel like taking econometrics or business law but will have to forego a few CPA accredited subjects. Haihhh.... If only there is someone to help me.... Maybe I should just study whatever I feel like studying as long as I am doing accounting major. I dare not say for certain accounting is for me but I know it is a stepping stone for me towards something more eventful.
The recent popular trend in Facebook is the stupid quizzes that people are taking to see their own personality (me included). I find it very stupid but the stupider thing is I keep doing it. What!! Haha.... I am definitely curious but I think sometimes it is better for us to know ourselves than letting some stupid software to confuse us. I am always believe fate lies in our own hands. Then, there is this best friends bot thingy which is so absurd. I kept thinking what contributes towards Facebook selecting the people in there. My number of photos taken with those people? I dun deny some are true yet, some are so off my best friends list. Yesh, I have a list in my brain. Makes everything easier in life. Either you are in or you are out. Wah, this cliche sentence sounds like one used by Heidi Klum in the Project Runway. American influence. Cheh... I am definitely crapping here. Sorry for my sheer ignorance to the public readers.
