the bicycle

a glimpse at an old lady, who is the kopitiam owner, brings back a fond memory. it is not her who brings back the memory, it is the gesture she makes. she is brushing through her grandson's hair while reasoning in a complaint manner about how he should be a good boy.

it has been such a long, long time i have such a treatment. the last time i can recall is probably many many years ago. the most vivid one will bethe one when i was just waking up and went to my late grandma's house for dinner. i was in slumber mode and kind of annoyed for the fact that my sleep was disturbed. then, my grandma saw me sulking and decided to give me a peck on the cheek. yea, i was pampered back then. no wonder my colleagues kept accusing me of being a spoiled brat back home, which i vehemently denied. what's wrong with such a memory. i did not deny for a fact that i am one of the favoured grandchild. what was there to be complain about me?

as a child, i grew up very naughty and active. i ran everywhere. but i am not bad. i did my homework, did my very best academically. obedient. and my only splurge is good food. as a grandchild, i think i can be a role model. every grandparent wants to be splurge good food on his grandchild. it is the forsaken right given to grandparent. if a parent does it, everyone will say you spoil the child. if the grandparents do it, it is their right, mind you. no accusation and no blame.

and you know, i have unique experience as a child too, which i never tell anyone. i was chauffeured to school. but i ain't spoilt like those comfort seeking and material addiction brats. i was chauffeured in a bicycle. my grandpa sent me back from school everyday until i was able to cycle independently. aha. some teachers were asking me, is

that your grandpa? and the answer is a proud yes and a humble no. yes because i am privileged. no because they recognise my late grandpa for the reason his face is very red. i don't know why: drinking, working under sun for a long period of time, genetics? i have no idea.

indeed, growing up with grandparents come with great perks and benefits. i see no reason why parents nowadays want to live far far away from their own parents. do you know grandparents have instilled a sense of belonging to a child. if they grew up without such love, how will they act as one in the future?

i don't see myself cycling my grandchild in the future. but the least i could see myself splurging good food on him/her. the end.

the age old feeling

today i feel i have been transferred back to form 4 and form 5 times. any of my former classmates will understand it very well. sorry, this feeling is quite sexist. because only boys in my class could feel it.

the time is ticking slowly. you cannot hear what so ever the teacher is telling you. you keep looking at the watch. you are secretly smiling inside your heart that it is coming. another rain check. nope, the bloody rain is not going to stop you from it. mr sunshine is greeting you out there.

once the bell rings and the teachers walk out of the door, you can literally feel that a second has passed and every boy in the class has changed to their PE T-shirts. wooohooo. PJ time. and to me, it is football session.
everyone loves to play football i tell you. though yours truly rarely watch football, he loves to play.

today, the feeling is reignited. imagine my boyish smile when another colleague is looking at me and both us know it is time for the manager to shut up. i am having mini group training regarding insurance today. four of colleagues and me are planning to play basketball. and the manager and my seniors keep talking and talking. we are like looking at each other, starting to pack but nobody gives a damn about our so obviously obvious action. when the manager says it is time to end, all of us flew out of the meeting room and go into the cars and speed like hell on the road to the venue. more surprising is the fact that my singh friend sped like hell. he stay further away from me but he reach the court earlier than me. both of us need to get home and change. then the old age feeling comes back. ohhh.... must be that time again.

i would say it is a nice feeling. it makes me remind of my secondary school life. to be able to feel it again justifies the blogger's reason for being here. the blogger was scouted to be in the international tobacco company and bank but he is bloody stubborn and chose to be with EY and now he is fucking proud of it.

muddy football is the best!

conclusion: no matter where the blogger is and who he is with, sports always excite him and turns him into a little boy again.

today is the day that shall be remembered

today, things are really surprising. if any of the horoscope would say today is full of surprises for aries, i would read the horoscope daily and pay for it for the rest of the year. at first, the day started quite normally. the typical chee seng day is wake up, go to work and come back home ending with zzzz. but i did not know that a call, a reply yes and a post really made my day.

when i mentioned made my day, it doesn't really mean all good at all, not that i know of. today, a call came asking me for a job interview. for friends who had known it, i am currently working in my second month as an auditor. i did not hate it but i would say it is manageable. there is one thing i like about my job, the seniors. they are damn funny and nice. my auntie told me, sometimes it is not the money that counts, it is the persons you are with and the environment you are in. i think i have understood the sentence pretty well now.

the job interview is not one that i would expect because chances of getting is like 1 in a 250? all i want to say is,  not any ah beng, ah seng or ah heng can get it la. well, i am given the opportunity to snap up the position but my heart is quite reluctant. i am quite comfortable in where i am right now. though i am living from pay cheque to pay cheque. still it is a happy pay cheque i am receiving. i am a bit apprehensive. the interview is next monday 2pm. alamak. to be honest, i think i can rock the job interview if i want because my resume is suited to do the project basis things, just that mine used to be mini scale. however, in this case, i think i would just lay low and be incompetent. haha =D first time you heard a person so irreluctant to go for interview huh?

then comes the reply yes. i was so surprised when my mouth said okay la, i will think about will be such a difference. i have this bunch of wacko colleagues who are damn obsessed with basketball. they keep ajak me to go main. i told them, me has not touch basketball in my life and you want me to play 5-5. and the BIG mouth which answered yes settles everything. so i join them. today marks the day chee seng started playing basketball. my colleague happens to be the super tall one and super pro. my mouth went =O i came to the wrong place. the other two are good as well. i would say not too bad. if badminton comes rarely, basketball will do to. 

to be bad, if i am offered the job, i would leave EY soon. 

and today, i am invited to a good friend's graduation which falls on the same day as mine. weeeee.... another familiar face to add during my graduation. to be frank, i am not that well acquainted with my university mates, just the few that are very good ones. so, to have another one is awesome. at least, he still remember the malaccan kampung boy. 

and today, this post is the 300th post for my blog. lesson learnt: when you are willing to let yourself immerse in new environment, everything will be fine. 

rock my world into sunlight

she is awesome. one word for her. jessie j. this is the moment when i like to listen to a song over and over again. am i weird? i bet not because i notice i have a senior who does that. he kept telling the other senior a new song is damn nice. and he kept playing the songs over and over again. in the morning, before lunch, after lunch and before we head back. i almost wanted to yell, "eh, i do that all the time, but in a more extreme way" haha. thats why i put my favourite song in my blog. so i can keep repeatedly play it. but the better thought was keeping my thought to myself because that is the first day i work with them. see, i am behaving professionally right right? jessie j recently had a concert in malaysia. too bad la, i din know her as THE jessie j. i would like to take her down like a DOMINO.

there is a new addition to my work team. this Punjabi guy is very funny. always telling story. interesting yet exaggerating. i think if i choose to believe him, his life must be full of colours. there is this time he said he was damn piss off with a friend who doesn't like to go out and keeps giving excuses but whenever a girl asks his friend out, he will definitely go. he was so angry he didn't talk to the friend for a month. haha. the funniest thing is after telling the story, he was able to utter a cantonese expletive phrase. WHS. haha... if you know it, you know it la. i don't want to teach bad words. i was laughing like crazy. true! i have friends like that around me.

my all time favourite during bus travelling

so what i do is i stop asking those friends out. just ask those who are 99% willing to go out with me. problem solved. in life, there are so many people from all walks of life. if you are going to get angry for a friend who is not even worth you throwing out your temperament, find new one. see whose loss it is. i learn that for quite some time. do not get tied down just for a person. your time and energy is best finding new companion. ohhh, talking about companion, i think have a few in KL. getting know new friends is so not easy.

love at first read

one, when they have girlfriends or boyfriends, a big no for me. because they will be talking about your gf and bf all the time. who cares about your other half when he just know you? second, i am goodie boy who takes no alcohol and smoke. in this era, i think i am quite the rare species.

let me list what i like to do: reading,comic-ing,anime,movies,HK drama, music,blogging,badminton,jogging and swimming. ohhh, not to be left out: food hunting. i was thanking my lady luck for finding me seniors who enjoy going out to find for good food and also allows me to find a shop which rents books. thats new! unfortunately, i am moving away from the place which rents book. so cheap you know. 5 ringgit a book for 30 days. i felt like i find a diamond in the midst of the ocean. its okay, i have read 2 books within 3 days for the price of 9. not too bad.


 so, i think it is not that it is hard to find new friends, just that my hobbies don't really equal to friends. i can basically do everything myself other than badminton and food hunting. i got the answer myself. i am born loner. ooohhh oohhh ohhh. rock world into the sunlight

dit ngan keng

it is always reassuring to know the people surrounding you. for me, i get to know people first by observing their behaviour. in short, i don't trust people that easily. not when it comes to friendship. i would think everyone is different for yourself and at such, it is imperative to get to know others.

by doing so, i actually have an impression who my friends are, how they are likely to behave and the responses i will get when asking questions. to me, this is fun. you get to guess your friends. throughout my past experience, some are predictable, some are plain unreadable and others plain annoying to get to know. but i don't simply put a label based on appearance. that would be unfair right?

there is this one time. the girl who used to sit beside me in class. i honestly thought that she is quite a nice person. when i know how she will use her relationship for her convenience, i was appalled. wth. maybe i really "dit ngan keng" for the very first time. i try to justify her actions. one, it has nothing to do with me. two, we are still friends because whatever she did to her boyfriends is no concern of mine. but as a person with principle, i think it is morally wrong and romantically disastrous altogether.

i got to know this through my best friend. ohhh, i have 100% trust on this friend. because we are good friends since a long time.

and then comes another story. false accusation being thrown to another friend. let's use A,B and C for simplicty. A, B and C are my friends. A is a good friend of mine for many years. then B and C get along and become a couple through A's help. but a while later, it is said that C thinks that A is trying to get between both of them.

in my opinion, is there a reason A wants to be the third party if A helps you to get B? it doesn't make sense. then comes my observing behaviour motion being at play. throughout my contact and experience with A, A is a straightforward and honest person. A will throw whatever on the mind at your front, not the back. what i am wondering is, will A react differently towards love than friendship. i know A for years. wouldn't that count for a single thing? i beg not to differ. i told my good friend, i would stand behind A if someone wants to vouch for her honesty. but can i really say that when A is a third party.

there you go, blogger's dilemma. but he knows none of it is his business. he might as well carry on with his life as an auditor. in life, don't get it twisted. the blogger knows enough not to step a shoe in this kind of relationship, not that he is in a relationship anyway.
