Wish to Like or Like to Wish?

TO WISH OR TO LIKE? TO LIKE DO NOT MEAN THAT YOU WISH FOR IT, BUT TO WISH DOESN’T MEAN THAT YOU WILL LIKE IT. THEREFORE, DO YOU LIKE TO WISH OR DO YOU WISH TO LIKE?

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…

HUMANS HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THEY ARE SMARTER THAN OTHERS, WISER THAN OTHERS, AND WHEN PROBLEMS OCCUR ON THE VICTIM AND HE/SHE WOULD BE THE PERSON SUFFERING WHILE OTHERS JUST STOOD AND WATCH, THANKING WHO-SO-EVER FOR NOT FALLING THE PROBLEMS ON THEMSELVES. IF THEY KNEW THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, WHY DIDN’T THEY TAKE PREVENTION MATTERS? AND WHY DO THEY HAVE TO WAIT FOR PROBLEMS TO COME AND THEN ONLY WILL THEY TAKE THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY?

“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 SOMEBODY’S BIRTHDAY AGAIN, ON THE 7TH OF DECEMBER ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN A PAIN, BUT WITHOUT PAIN, THERE WON’T BE GAIN… EVERYTHING COMES FROM HARDWORK, EVEN WHEN SOMETHING IMPORTANT HAPPENS 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 ALWAYS HAPPENS, DOESN’T IT? WHEN SOMEBODY PASSED AWAY WOULD BE THE TIME FOR GATHERING, WHERE EVERYONE WOULD COME TOGETHER, ONCE AGAIN, NO MATTER HOW LONG IT HAS TOOK US TO BUILD UP THIS RELATIONSHIP, AND ONLY WHEN SOMEBODY PASSED AWAY WE WILL START MOANING AND START TO BUILD THAT RELATIONSHIP AGAIN WHEN WE ARE SPLITTED APART FOR THAT LONG. IS THIS THE WAY TO DO IT? OR IS IT JUST A HUMAN’S NATURE?

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)

CAN MONEY BRING HAPPINESS? OR CAN MONEY ITSELF BE A FORM OF HAPPINESS?

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...
