Everything That Comes, Must Leave….
It was a sunny afternoon, had a great presentation in the morning and had a great afternoon tea break before commencing my class. But I had a weird feeling today, where it seems to me that it is time for me to let go on something that belonged to me, maybe a day ago, maybe a week ago, or maybe a month ago. I felt weird that things suddenly had changed, especially on relationships and all the people I knew was different. The things that I had once had confidence on holding it tightly is getting looser and looser, and had felt that it is time to let go on what I had before and gain a new one.
Relationships are always in this way, regardless of familial relationship, friendship, brotherhood, boy girl relationships and etc. It comes and goes, especially on friendship and brotherhood. Just because things had changed a little bit and therefore, everything changes. It was to be understood that everyone has their own aim in life, their own target and their own path which is to be taken.
But, fate is always in our hand. Keeping it or letting it go this relationship is always the decision that is made by our thoughts on continuing the old ones and get along with the new ones, or just to be forgotten through time. But, sometimes, although things are not in our control, life still has to go on. All I can just hope would be that, things would not end so soon, as life between these relationships has just begun, especially when coming into a new life in a new surrounding, with new friends where we just started off becoming friends. And all I can do is just to hope and pray…

Center of Attraction…
It had always been a problem when someone feels lonely in their life, although they are always out with their friends, but most of the time neglected by their friends, when they feel that they are just the follower and the rest are the leaders, deciding on where to go next, where to have lunch, or when to have dinner, and imagine this, being left out from the group even though you are in that group really makes a person feels bad. It is just something like an apple within a whole bundle of oranges where the oranges will accept the apple a one of them, but it just still doesn’t feels right.
But, there is some natural attraction which happens to be built into someone where I came across this when I was on the way back to my hostel. I was on the train where there was this kid, jumping all around actively in the train, rather than to get attention, which I would say that the kid wouldn’t even know on how to get attraction, he was actually having fun by his own. But there was one weird thing about it which was everyone on the train was looking at him, having fun, and with all the smiles on the faces of everyone, this has proven that the kid has actually brought joy for everyone, which includes me. This kid is just like the sunshine which brought light to everyone who was in the depth of darkness, bringing joy and cheer for everyone who is around him. But, the mom did something which was not should be done, his mom took that sunlight back, by holding that little boy’s hand and ask him to sit quietly, and all the smiles on everyone’s faces went dull again. Is it appropriate to hold them back from having their own fun? Or is it just that the parent feels that it is embarrassing to have such a naughty child?
We have always hold on our backs while we were asked to be in the middle of attraction, like presentations, speech giving, and just by standing up on the stage will actually get attention from people, but we are always afraid to do so. And when we are being left out, we blame others for not letting us join in. So, is it our fault or is it the other’s fault for doing so? Fright might be a possible answer if you say so, and therefore, take that challenge and go on ahead, bring a step forward on who you are and what you can be. Who knows that your potential might be there, or rather, it might bring you some attractiveness within your friends which brings you to the center of attractiveness. Therefore, go for it, fight for it, but not to just sit down and blame.

Christmas… A Time Where Old Memories Flashes…
I had a supper with two of my friends and this was the so called countdown for Christmas for us. It was kind of pathetic but it was fun though. We went for a food hunt and food search as we had stopped a few places straight after dinner to get more food. We went for some ice at first and we had our hand on another dish in a Malay stall.
But this is not the main point. The main point was that we were all talking about not only our past and also the present to update everyone as everyone was far apart. It was our so called “Sakai Gang” of SSB and this was the time we gathered and the best news was only three of us. But it was fun where we celebrate Christmas the different way, by sitting down together which is also a part of the Christmas spirit to come together.
Therefore, Christmas isn’t only a celebration or a festival for fun, and rather or not, Christmas isn't the only celebration. Any celebration would do. But these celebrations are also events to bring everyone together, therefore, live harmoniously, peacefully with each other as we are all the same, celebrating the same day together, at the same time, regardless of any corner of the world.

~We Wish Us a Merry Christmas…~
It was another great night for me to celebrate Christmas, with my best buddies together, with people whom I know them and they know me but, not that close, and also with people that I do not know. The first thing that I thought when I went to that club was a “WoW” in the outside of the club and “-.-“ “ in the inside of the club. It is totally unbelievable on how looks can be deceiving. There were lots of performances at the outside of the club as it is the opening of the club and it was seriously crowded and when I stepped into that club, it was empty.
But rather, what made me happy wasn’t only the free flow they offered where all of us had fun, this was also the first time I had clubbing with other course mates and it was awesome. And the best part was, I found my twin brother and his name was Teong Yew and I am Teong Eu. LOLZ. How coincidence when it was not. It was only when he borrowed my identity for some reason that he turned into me, but whatever, I suddenly had a twin brother. LOLZ!!
The crowd sucks, the music sucks when it is already 12 midnight and the dance floor was still empty. But rather or not, it was one of the best nights with all the best people around me, and this is what I call the hope for Christmas, where everyone have fun together and make a closer bond together. Although everyone was complaining, but I think there will be something more than just complaining, another memory with others, and I would like to stress again: “I HAD A TWIN BROTHER!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”… LOLZ…
P.S. No photos will be available here for this post as it was kept for privacy use… hehe…

Christmas FIESTA!!!!!!!
Christmas, an annual event that is to be celebrated by everyone, although it is a festival for Christian to celebrate Jesus’ birthday, Happy Birthday Jesus by the way, but it is celebrated everywhere, every corner all around the world without fail. As we all know, Christmas is all about giving rather than taking, and therefore, Christmas, a time to bring in a closer relationship with others.
For the Chinese, there aren’t only Christmas celebrations, but rather, the festival by having gluttonous rice balls is celebrated together with Christmas (in other words, for Chinese to celebrate the passing of Winter), as it is only a few days before Christmas every year. But rather or not, during every celebration, it would be time for all of us to get together, regardless of family or friends, even relatives and non related people could celebrate together to bring a closer gap between everyone.
But, for countries where there aren't any snow falling, this is what we known as the blue Christmas, which is different from "white Christmas" (just like the one we had always seen in cartoon or movies) as there are snow falling and everyone will be playing with snow. Regardless, everyone celebrates Christmas in different ways. Some might have a Christmas party and some might take this opportunity to have dinner with families. But there are some, who are there, just to hunger for the nice foods available on the table. But, at least, everyone gets together.
As for Christmas celebration, our class had an early celebration where all of us meet up together in class and exchanged presents. All of the presents are wrapped up and guess what I got for my Christmas? A whitening deodorant for my armpit and you must be thinking, how am I going to use it? But true enough and fair enough, I couldn’t use it as my skin is dark enough, and if my armpit shines too much, it will look awkward right? Therefore, in the eyes of Christmas, I gave it to someone else as a Christmas present. Faster thank me for it!!
Although it had been years since I celebrate Christmas, but today is an event never to forget, where everyone gives and take from others, with their true heart, which builds a closer relationship with others. Therefore, not to forget, celebrate it with joy and colour, do not forget about those who needs the care from others and lastly, MERRY CHRISTMAS and now waiting for the 2010 New Year celebration.
(P.S. Kiwi said that from today onwards, B3 will be celebrating every festival together. LOLZ!!)

A BAD hair day……. Haiz….
It all started when I had a bad hair style this morning where I could barely style my hair properly and I looked like an aunty, but regardless, I did went for class and everything started to go wrong. I couldn’t wake up for class, I was so blur during class, Wallace was having flu and it did came to me after that, waiting in the car for Wallace to pay his electricity bill until I fell asleep and nobody opened the door for Wallace to come in, the portion of food I bought was seriously dainty, neither gym or squash was being appointed when there is an appointment, Jeff told a very cold joke and I scolded him, wasn’t listening at all during Mr. Chuan’s class, was daydreaming during Mr. Wong’s class, came back home and fall asleep and thought that everything would be over, and who knows, went out eating dinner with Ryan and then didn’t feel good about it, typing this blog with lots of mistakes made on the spacing and etc., WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG??!!!!!
Maybe these are the interesting part about life, and all I can say would be, ENJOY LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!!! WOOOWW!!!!!!!!! (I must be insane...)

“LET GO...”, A Heavily Responsible Sentence
It has been a few weeks since I contacted you through the phone, as I tried to let it go, since the only thing that I think you are trying to tell me was, to let go. But I did not, although images has always popped up on my mind when I am not thinking about you, and therefore, I packed up my time, just not to think about you, hoping that time would solve everything.
What I wanted was only a chance to prove things between us, and maybe I had not appreciated that chance myself, but that is all I wanted. Maybe I had let it go a little too early, or maybe I should continue with my courage to go on with it. But definitely, time and place will definitely be an obstacle if things are to be on.
It is 3.36 am right now, and I am still sitting right in front of the computer, thinking on things about you, on the questions that had popped up in my head for this long that I do not have the time to thought all these while. Maybe things should change within me… or rather things should go on as usual. I do not know….

~The Greatest Moments of LIFE~
It was one of my former classmate’s birthdays and her name is Chloe. A party was taken off at my house, where preparation was done since morning until evening and being executed at night. But without a doubt, it was something worth to be remembered, all the running up and down was like a treasure hunt, and at night, we have a test, a test of relationship, and all of us, I think, had passed that test, by getting closer to each other.
Another memory together, brought together just by one person, where everyone worked together and that hard work can be seen as paid off. Imagine how a human’s relationship can be? Maybe as high as a mountain, or maybe, as deep as the ocean. Memory is something that could be forgotten, and regardless, it stays for a while, for the happiness of humans and due those memories that we could not remember, maybe a day later, or maybe a century later, it has already helped to build up relationships.
Everything comes, everything goes, but there is always something treasured deep under a person’s mind where a person will never forget, which would be the memory, just like a treasure deep in the ocean, beneath the seabed that could not be found. But one thing was, we all had the same memory, which is what differ us from others.
Regardless of what, happy birthday Chloe and thank you for everything.
*P.S. Pictures will be uploaded once I got it on hand… hehe…

Being Regret is Not The Answer…
I was supposed to go back to Kampar tomorrow to place a view on the annually held Institute Chinese Singing Competition, where a few of my friends would be performing. But due to some things which could not be avoided, I cancelled my plan last minute.
I was supposed to be rooting for them there during the competition, and all I can do now is just to sit here and blog. Although you might have said, time management and everything will be settled, but things usually will never go as being planned as planning for an appropriate time would be a difficult task. But regardless, I will learn on how to manage it.
Therefore, in here, I would like to say good luck to all the performances, and although I could not be there, and although the rooting of my voice would not be heard by them, but the heart will always be there. Therefore, go for it and wish all of you, all the best, and wish that I could be there for you guys. Therefore, my thousand apologies here for you.
and remember our dreams...
it is either you will be waiting there for me,
or I will be waiting there for you... haha...
Weird Things do Happen In Life… HuH??
There are so many weird stories when I first moved to this house with nice housemates, for instance, I got locked inside the room, even when the lock is of the door itself is inside the room. It happened when Dee was still here, staying with me in the same room and the room’s door got spoilt and it was definitely a memory to remember. I needed to get help from him to get OUT of the room because the knot wasn’t working. He tried to open from the outside and I tried to open from the inside and it was definitely a great memory to remember.
But few days ago, something much embarrassing came up, which was the hair clip. My hair grew longer for the past few months and due to the weather, I had to clip my hair in the house, to have ventilation on my forehead. My housemates, Mathu and Hata came into my room and asked me out for a drink, and it was at night, the time where TBR is definitely a place which is merrier than the day.
I was talking on the phone at that moment with a friend of mine with all of his stories and he told me everything because he was drunk in Cameron, and I doubt that he knew who I am talking about. Because I was talking and talking on the phone, I had totally forgotten on my hair clip until I walked to the stall where until we sat down and only I found out that the hair’s clip was still on. Maybe a picture should be uploaded here. Haha.
After walking through the crowd of people, and only I had found out that it was still on. No wonder everyone was staring at me at the moment on where I was walking. I quickly took it off and regardless of what, it might make me a joker, and I am happy about it. Which guy dares to do it in front of the crowd, and that guy would be me, and I did it not purposely, but unconsciously.

Dreams…
It was a tiring day for me, as I came back from a massive interview today, which might also be a new stepping stone for me today. But regardless of what, I went for class after the interview and went out dinner with Ryan.
After the dinner, I went back home and I started keeping myself ready for bed, although it was only around 7 o’clock, but I was tired, mentally and physically, therefore, I took the initiative to go to bed.
I was sleeping and something woke me up, which was a clubbing song. I only had a sleep for two hours, and what was fascinating enough was shaking my body when I woke up, due to the song. Maybe my mind was trying to tell me, it is time to get some relaxation, to relax my soul, my mind and my body for a bigger challenge.
But I was fascinated on how dreams can do it. Dancing while waking up at the first place? You might be asking on whether my housemate has played a clubbing song, but it was quiet when I woke up, therefore, there aren’t any senses of for me to wake up, and now, I’m feeling awesome. Maybe because of all the adrenaline that runs through my body due to the dance that I did.
These are dreams, it might be a nightmare, it might be a sweet dream, but dreams are meant to be understood, and therefore, clubbing, should I say “here I come?” or should I say “I would consider?” I think the answer would be, I should consider, as proper planning should be done.
The Interview…
It was a very tiring day for me, went for an internship interview this morning at Asia Jaya. It was a far distanced company which I hope to work with, with all the dreams, all the fascinating culture of the company, and of course with a fascinating mini test and also a fascinating interview. Although it was kind of stressful as I wasn’t feeling very well, but it was a good experience.
I was being sent there alone, and I was afraid to go there alone, as everyone has a minimum of one partner to go with, but guts made me there. I went there two hours earlier because I did not know where it was, and I did now know on how reach to that company, to walk or to take a public transport. Because I was there two hours earlier, my determination told me to walk and I was shock, because just a straight walk and a turn on the right, and there it is, where I am standing right in front of the company.
I walked in to the company at 1.45pm, and that building which consists of many companies did actually made that entrance, a grand entrance. The ball room, the dining room, the bath room and even the elevator (which has a mini sized TV showing ice aged) has captured my attention, and anxious started burning through me, but fear has definitely doubled than what I have experienced before I went into that building. A high class building, definitely it will be a high class company, and indeed, the arrangements of the company, the culture, the design and most of the parts of the company did fascinated me.
I met up with the person who was in charged of me, where she briefed me and she walked me to a table and there I started my first task, which was the writing test. A one hour and thirty minutes test was definitely not enough, but I did manage to fulfill all the tasks which was given, and submitted it without a double check as I did not have extra time. I handed up the work and I was seated at a room to start my interview.
There wasn’t anymore fear in me as it was a congenial environment which would actually calms down the feeling of fear, rather it makes you prepare for the second task, which would be the interview. I was having a massive headache, and through that massive headache, I had to undergo an interview. Although the interview wasn’t as easy as I would have thought I was supposed to be, but it was an experience and knowledge gaining. Without a doubt, I answered most of the questions which was asked and although I made a few small mistakes, because this is the first time I am attempting the longest interview in my life up until now, it wasn’t a doubt that the transaction of information between the interviewer and interviewee was amazing.
I finished my interview and I walked back with a feeling that I would not get that job, because of the mistakes that I had made during the interview. But regardless of what the results might be, will I or will I not get this job, it is an experience learning and experience gaining, which might make me a better person, not only in terms of communication, and not only about the understanding of the real field outside, it will also be a preparation for the next interview. I would say, “it is all up to you now…”

Wish to Like or Like to Wish?
I came across this problem today when I was at the balcony of my house, where there were three students who were talking about getting a hair cut and they were discussing it out loud. There was a man and two ladies who walked passed and that men said this: “I like to keep my hair short but I wished to keep my hair long” and the other two ladies’ reaction was “What are you talking about? Do you want to keep your hair long or short?” And just in a sudden, the question popped up in my mind, “they were two different things”.
This man might like his hair to be short as it might portray a clean look rather than having a long hair, but wishing to have a long hair might be his dream as he had not kept a long hair before. It is not something which is confusing, just that maybe the understanding of the terms itself made it confuse.
But if a normal person is to react to this situation instantly, of course it would be a straight cut that “why do you wish to have a long hair when you like to have short hairs?” But different people might have different perception, which is good, as it creates creativity in a person. Therefore, think differently, as it will bring you to another step of thoughts, a thought out of the box, will lead you to a different way, a different path in life as “life” is a hilarious word, different thoughts leads you into a different route, and in other words, that route itself is controllable by every human. Be different and discover a new life for you, as everything is a new experience.

Rules and meant to be broken…
“A first class facilities with a third class mentality” had always been the sentence used by our former Prime Minister to educate the people on which facilities are given to the citizens, but citizens misused it, or rather I would say, not to use something where efforts are put into it. All the people did was to blame the government for not giving enough facilities to the citizens around, but all I can say would be that, the citizens themselves are actually slapping themselves onto their own faces.
We pay the government taxes, and all the government did was to provide us better facilities with through the tax money that we had paid. As for a true example, I was walking through from the Monorail to the LRT this afternoon, and from there, I would need to cross the wide road where pedestrian bridge was built to ensure the safety of the people itself. While I was walking on the pedestrian street, I found out that a bunch ignorant people were walking pass the street, where they would endanger their life just to rush for the next departing. At that time, I was thinking on whether this pedestrian bridge should be build at the first place or not. Whether the government should use this tax money to build more things for the safety of the people or not as the people are the one who are not using it and they are the ones who are complaining about it.
There are people outside there, who are starving, and there are people outside there, who are devastated to live a longer life and all you ignorant people did was to put your life on the line. What is this? Playing a game with the death god? Of course the undertaker and the coffin maker would be happy if this happens, as they would be able to earn more money, unless you would want to embalm your body and keep it as a frame at home.
Why do people like to break laws when laws are made by the people themselves? If laws are meant to be broken at the first place, then law shouldn’t exist to enhance the peacefulness of the society by giving what the people wants. But laws are made to control the people, and when people are controlled, it makes them work within the boundary. But cases would be different IF creativity can be made within the boundary. Therefore, if laws are being made by humans who have the authority to control others, all the others can do is to work out to be a successful person within the boundary and lastly, would be able to control the humans who had been controlling you in the first place.
Think this way, if killing was to be made legal in the country, if raping was to be made legal in this country, if robbing was to be made legal in this country, won’t it sound like a country dominated by terrorist, in which according to Marxist theory, no matter how little or how much you earn, it will still need to be divided equally among others. If this would have happened, I would think that nobody would work as they can sit and get paid through the hard work of others, and this will go on and on until nobody would work and everyone would starve to death, turning the country to its end.
Therefore, people, please, think about the law, it is used to protect us, and if we could play within the law, it will be a bright future for us, rather than darkness without appreciation from anybody even though efforts are being made out. Vehicle speeding, walking through roads without using pedestrian, and etcetera are rules made not to be broken, for the safety of your life, and also for the safety of others. If you would not even think about your life, think about the people around you, they would be moaning for you, crying for you. Therefore… THINK before you ACT!!
~Happy birthday…. To…. YOU!!!!!!!!!~
It is my brother’s birthday on this day, on the 7th of December, and although he was born on the year of 1987, he had always wishes to be known as a year younger as he had always thought that if his mom would give birth to him just a little later, he will be a January baby and will be 21 years old this year. But face fact bro, you are 22.
I gave him a call yesterday to greet him for his birthday and that call was made at 10 o’clock in the night, he picked up the phone and told me 3 times the same thing… “meeting… meeting… meeting…” and all I did was to off the phone as not to disturb him as he is having a meeting with his colleagues. He gave me a call back at 11.30pm when I was packing my stuff, preparing a one night trip AGAIN, to travel to Slumber Land. He told me that he had just finished his dinner and what I just couldn’t imagine on how employees are treated. Not like they would be paid for Over Time, and they are asked to work over the limit, and not like their pay is high enough to cover all the expenses used for their work, and not like they get to claim from the company, so, isn’t this company cheating? And all they did expect was sales and profit from them.
Regardless on what happen, work is still important to support a family (he is not married and he is still single) as money plays an important role in this society and all I can do is to sit and watch, although the most that I can do was only to give more moral support towards him to work harder, but human has its limit, so use them wisely.
So, here is the trick, work during birthday is not such a bad thing after all, and here, I wish you Happy Birthday Gor… and you’re always the best… missed you!!
Knew you hated cat so much, and this is made
Specially For You... hehe...
Happy Birthday Jino!!!

The Gathering…
It is the 6th of December, 2009, and also another day to be remembered as this day brought us back together, regardless on where we are, on what we are doing, and on why did we stop doing things that we should be doing. The same thing goes on repeatedly in a human’s life, where every funeral of a family, a friend or a relatives are the time where everyone will be gathering and this is the only time we will appreciate everyone around us. After the funeral is gone, the appreciation would still be here, but not for long, only for a period of time, and it goes off again and the whole cycle starts again.
Han Yin, a person who had been in the same class since we were 7, and the person whom I had been with in the same high school until we graduated high school when we were 17 (2006), and until I met him last month, he was still healthy. But just in a sudden, I received messages that he had just passed away, but the details are still not with me in order for me to certify the reason that causes his death, but that instance, all the memories flashed by, starting from standard one to standard two, from standard two to standard three, from standard three to standard ……
It was a sadistic scenario for me, as I had knew him for 13 years (including this year) and he is a very nice person, a very nice guy, but why things had to be so cruel? He is only 20 years old and what wronged did he do that has an equivalent worth with his life? I still couldn’t understand. And this was the time where all primary school classmates of mine started finding me and we talked about it, and this was also the time where we would stop everything we are doing now, sit down together and bond on again on what we had ditched since the day we left primary school.
But things which had happened cannot be changed, and this is the fact of life, therefore, life has to go on as usual. All I can do here is to hope that you rest in peace, alright bro?
~ R.I.P. Han Yin and you will always be in our memory
…. And all my condolences for his family… ~
Money = Happiness? (Part 2)
There are so many thoughts on about how money controls a human’s life. But there are definitely thoughts that human controls money itself. But regardless of what, it happens vice versa.
As I walked though the quarterly held PC fair in Malaysia which was held in KLCC yesterday, I was shocked as how much changes it had made since the past PC fair, the coordination of booth, the items which was sold and definitely, the crowd which has appeared in the PC fair itself has seriously brought most of us to be under the same roof, but not yet as a family I would say.
The items which was sold there wasn’t as expensive I would have thought, but for a student like me, it was definitely under my budget. Laptops, computer hard disk, computer components, computer cleaner, pen drive, external hard disk, laptop bags, webcam, etc. will be the things I would like to purchase, only if I have money. Even if I have the money, definitely I would be purchasing and selling it on the spot to earn more money. Haha. But regardless of what, we walked around the PC fair which was located in five different halls, and surveyed on all the items that is needed to be purchased for personal use, and personally, I have walked four times in and out of all the five halls, as they are controlling the flow of the people, just to find out the price of the items needed.
But what happened inside was, most of the people working there are the people whom I knew. Kenny working in Samsung, Jenice working as a show girl for some online game, and there are so many more people working part time in different booths to earn for part time income. Although I was supposed to be working there also, but I had a plan in mind and it was ruined because I was sick, therefore, the only thing I could do is to pay a visit to them and then to buy some stuff for myself.
As I was walking down the path which was flooded by people, I have learnt lots of stuff regarding humans. Some people can be so nice just to earn your money, and some can be so nasty, although they still want to earn your money. Come on, attitude, people! Be nice to your customers! But no matter what happen, after walking for four times, we rested for a while and did our analysis on which booth to purchase before going in again.
We walked past the crowd again to purchase and the crowd has definitely doubled than the previous times I went into the fair itself. But I went home with tiredness, but without happiness into it. Spent those money, but for my own purposes, for my own use, where everything is for me, but for me, deep inside my heart, it is empty, just like nothing is purchased, nothing is satisfying my heart, and therefore, money cannot be happiness, and money definitely cannot purchase happiness, but only satisfaction…

Money = Happiness?
"CAN MONEY BRING HAPPINESS?" HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE QUESTION IN EVERYONE’S MIND. BUT THE ANSWER WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN PORTRAYED WAS, MONEY CANNOT BUY HAPPINESS. BUT NOWADAYS, WITH IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY AND WITH HIGH SPENDING OF MONEY IN THE SOCIETY, WITHOUT MONEY, CAN HAPPINESS HAPPEN?
This afternoon was the day, the day where four people went shopping together, Jeffanie, Jess, Jeff and me, where only 3 of their names started with an “J”, but that is not the point. The point here is that we went to a shopping complex which is known for its class, for its fame, but what we did not went for was the price it cost us there.
We went there at the first place is because I wanted to buy a gift for my “brother” as his birthday present and the whole process itself went quite well. Firstly, we went to the department store in KLCC, a twin tower once known by its fame in the eyes of the world, but has been commented as the skinniest, but tallest tower in the world. Back to the story. When we were at the department store, we went to the perfume department in which choices of perfumes are displayed to the customers. Looking at the perfume itself is not a problem, but trying it out is definitely one of the biggest problems ever in which in our case, we have tried more than 20 types of perfume and although with the help of some grounded coffee beans, which was supposed to neutralize our sense, it did not help much either, the mixture of all types of perfume smell was still inside out nose, mixing out some weird smell which had caused dizziness in us. But rather or not, I was quite happy, not only because I did purchase a perfume or the saleswomen was very nice to us, it was because I bought it together with three new buddies of mine after I was being separated from the another class.
We bought the perfume, although it is quite costly, but there are still lots of freebies which was given by the pretty saleswomen and what I was impressed of was the attitude, the ability to get close to the saleswomen, the ability of PR and also all the ability to communicate well between the customers and also the salesperson, which could not be found in other stores of perfume seller. I bought a perfume and because she knew that it will be used as a present, she even offered me to wrap it up, free of charge, and with loads of freebies given by her, all sorts of perfume samples, facial wash, a pouch, and also a few more items which was wrapped inside the box.
I purchased it and we went out for a walk, and only after so many years have I found out that the place itself is definitely not a suitable place for a person like me to shop and all we can do was to walk around. This is because I was wearing a watch which needed some minor servicing and we went to the store to actually ask for a service, but the lady in the store told me that, it needed approximately around 700 to 800 bucks just for a minor service like that. WHAT??!!!! 700 to 800 bucks, but I did not show my expression, and all I did was to ask for a leave.
After that, things has gotten into my mind as we were off window shopping, things there are pricey, which is definitely not a standard or class of mine. But I was happy though, because I have bought something which can be used as a present with quite an affordable price. But here comes the question, if things are so unaffordable for the local people, definitely the target would be foreigners, but does this means that they are actually neglecting the locals? Does this means that all the locals can do is just to walk around, window shopping and do nothing else? Does this mean that the locals do not have the rights at all to purchase all these items which are imported into the country that is meant for the locals? The questions are still running around my head.
But regardless, if things are to be looked at the other side of the perspective, money does buy happiness, but only a partial of it, but for the time in this era, money comes first, and then the feeling of happiness comes later, although it doesn’t occur in every situation, but definitely, it is a bridge towards happiness…

Travelling… A road to a lifelong learning…
A MEMORY IN THE PAST MAKNG IT A MEMORY IN LIFE, LIVING TOWARDS WHAT WE HAD THOUGHT MIGHT BE AWKWARD MIGHT BE THE ANSWER OF SEEKING FOR HAPPINESS IN LIFE, BRINGING BACK STORIES TO REALITY, AROUSING PEOPLE AROUND, MIGHT NOT ONLY BE THE ANSWER TOWARDS EVERYTHING, BUT THE MEMORY AND FEELING ITSELF, MEANS EVERYTHING…
Perak Darul Ridzuan, a place where I was sent to, far away from the warm and beloved home, and far away from the city, to a new place, a new level of studies, which has happened two years ago. But within that two years itself, things have changed, not only towards the attitude or behavior, but also towards the opinion, towards a wider range of thoughts which could not be found in the city.
After being a city boy for 18 years, being sent to such a small place, known as Kampar to start my diploma studies (although I am back in KL right now for my advanced), it was a great adventure, a great memory, and definitely a great story to talk about, to be told to others.
But in Perak, things are not as easy as you think, lack of transportation, lack of entertainment (in fact, two years ago before UTAR was established, there wasn’t anything there), and of course, lack of people. That is why, everyone knows everybody, who is here and who is not, who is new and who is old, and who are the people from Kampar. But the destination wasn’t Kampar itself only, it was Perak as a whole, travelling all around Perak with friends was definitely one of the best travelling life during my college studies in Perak, and therefore, it will be a memory… will ever be a memory, which is unforgettable.
Sea Turtle Sanctuary, a place where seaturtles are breed and protected
Now we don't have to travel to Terengganu to watch
seaturtles, available in Perak, but for certain days only..... hehe...
