I Need Cash!!

A month ago i arrived, a month later, impretty mush still in square 1 - unemployed.. i seriously wonder how am i going to earn the bucks to fly back during the holidays; i can hardly buy myself a bus ticket now!! funnily, some guy from curtin sarawak campus told me that perth has many part-time jobs and the competition ain't fierce.. BULLSHIT!! =.= i think i just gave away like.. 5 resumes with no replies?

Well, life had changed a little since i first got here, can't expect much from such a slow-paced area huh? maybe i should be happy to have at least something to do here!! unlike my uncle, the only thing he does is to watch tv, and to throw his money on the betting table.. lifeless much.. guess i should start saving up for to rent a house in the future, just got to know he mortgaged his own house just to gamble, poor aunty who has to pay for it.. =[ well, he made me realize something though, casinos are really cash generators, like SERIOUS CASH GENERATORS!! he lost almost a million to them @.@ now i know how uncle Lim got his billions.. fyi, Burswood casino and hotel were formally owned by him.. good place to invest in the future..

I have to be in the uni for 9hours tomorrow and with only a single 2hour break in the middle, it will be like, 5hours straight of classes, 2hours of break and the last 2hours in class again... just realize i have only 7hours left to sleep.. don't feel like sleeping at all now.. miss home a lot now.. miss those cheap food, miss my bed, miss my super computer, miss my dumbbells, miss the swimming pool, miss the car (not really the car, just miss having a car, so i don't have to take a bus everywhere), miss to not have to worry for job, and most of all, i miss being to seeing my family the whole time.. i can still see my parents everyday now, but through a not-too-clear webbie.. not the webbie's fault actually (in fact dad just bought a 250bucks webbie so that i can see them clearer), it was the sucky malaysian internet's fault >.<

Now i realize that i must seriously find ways to get cash, the legal way i mean.. i'm too lazy to work!! perhaps selling stuffs online? i'd seen news reports saying that there were people who earned thousands per week just by selling collectibles on the net.. and you'll wonder, just go get some collectibles and sell'em.. U THOUGHT SO EASY MEH??? seriously, i'll do so if i can find the sources of those collectibles, provided they are in a bargained price.. some days, i thought of gaining some cash through the stock market, well, i could use that as a practice 'coz i once heard that we'll be given an assignment in the future whereby a hundred will be allocated for us to invest and if we get earn more than some amount after some time, we'll be considered pass (those hundred grand would better be real).. but after a second thought, i don't really have the guts to invest in growth stocks.. there are only two outcomes from investing in those stocks, its either u earn a fortune or u go bust together with the company.. its too risky, i have my tuition fee at stake, better not try to commit a financial suicide.. i may only invest in blue chip companies as they provide steady profits (unless they get themselves into trouble), but there's a catch, those steady profits ain't significant (you might wana laugh your ass out even if there's only a 20% return of your investment after a year).. let's see, 20% of a 1000bucks is.. 200bucks.. so you are gonna earn only 200bucks after a year.. it is only worthwhile to invest in blue chips stocks if you have large sum of capital, oya, and that's how Mr. Buffett got his 'third richest man in the world' title..

OZ My God!! Get Me Outta Here!!!

The very last time i posted an update, i was 4,443.91km away from where i am now... yes perth, the peaceful city (when i say peaceful, i don't really mean to like it) i won't say that i like being in a dangerous place where bombs were dropped everywhere, mafias ruling over the police, its just that perth.. its a nice place for retirement, not quite a good place to put a teenage boy that likes to go out every time.. (guess friends and family i'm gonna come out with this complaint in my blog)

It's cold now, expecting a 5degree Celcius night, 11.37pm now and i should be in bed for my 1st class tomorrow.. i can't believe its only a couple of weeks ago since my parents left me here, alone, it was like AGES ago.. seriously, time passed by damn slow here.. i did expect a lifestyle similar to this, but, its way worst than what i imagined..

I was told by my cousin that my face got rounder (didn't see that coming).. haha, but i can't expect much, i ate a lot, i mean A WHOLE DAMN LOT!!! i did jog, but still, it ain't enough to burn off the calories i gained.. so.. guess i'll be fatter and rounder if i don't do it at all.. and i'm so in need of a set of dumbbells which is soooo much expensive here..

Talking about prices.. i mean if u don't convert it to Malaysian Ringgit (as in dollar per dollar) the food are DAMN EXPENSIVE!!! cheapest meal in the campus that will half fill your tummy? a 6Aud burger.. i would have to walk for 15minutes to get to a cheaper alternative, a 4.5Aud chicken rice (don't forget the 15minutes walk back to campus).. there are no cheap food here, guess that chicken rice is the best value for money in the whole W.A... coffee is cheap though, 4~5bucks for a large cup of coffee.. besides coffee, other drinks aren't quite a recommendation if u are trying to save some bucks.. 1 thing real funny here, a 2L coke is cheaper than a 625ml coke.. its the same coke, same flavor, same packaging, just different in volume.. makes no sense =.=

Kinda late now, will continue my complaint in twitter or in the next post.. please excuse me for for any grammatical error, seriously, it wasn't intended, i type what i have in head and i have no more energy to go through it once more for any grammatical errors.. ain't a good move, don't try this at home.. night pals..

What I've Done For The Past 2 Days

Had two farewells in 2 consecutive days which also translates to having 2 heavy dinners in a roll.. i can't imagine how much workout should be done to burn off those calories gained =.= none of the photos from those farewells will be displayed here, and i can't be blamed for not taking any pictures, i don't even have my own camera!!! so guess you guys will only get to see those photos once they were uploaded into facebook by my friends..

Btw, i had wonderful times with my classmates, i enjoyed a lot.. i even received my birthday present from them:

Thank you guys a bunch!!! the boxers will be very very useful!!! @.@

Am going on a family trip to Cameron Highland for 3 days, starting in 4.5hours from now.. this trip is the 1st trip since a thousand years ago, and i'm not kidding ('a thousand years' as in metaphor), we haven't had a trip together since a very very long time ago, mum and dad is just too reluctant to go for a trip, they used to say that the house is where a family should be @.@ there's nothing i can do but to agree with them..

there were times i mentioned in twitter that i'd prefer the trip to be postponed to the week after this, cause there will be a photography fair by the weekend, there's a 25% chance of me getting a camera if dad goes to that fair, but there's only a mere 5% chance that dad will go to that fair =[ at least i have some chance rite? and and and if i really got the camera by then, i can do some test shots in Cameron =DD

Guess i'll mark the full stop here, still have a bag to pack =/chaoz..

Post-exam Update 2

Could do more on the title, but was too lazy to... so...will leave it this way.. anyways, this is just a short post to show that i'm still alive.. =D

Had quite a disciplined lifestyle after the exams, everyday, without fail, i will eat, steam and then sleep, which is pretty much the routine..

Promised to finish 'the 7habits of a highly effective person' but it doesn't seem as easy as it sounded.. that book is darn boring and practically a pain in the ass reading it.. i'm actually not interested in it, took up the promise just to challenge myself.. =D guai gu rite? and yea, i have a total of 3 more books to finish which mounted up to 2500 pages.. HOW IN HELL AM I GONNA FINISH IT?? nvm, guess i'll ask my parents to send it to me later via courier when im in Perth..

Currently waiting for the final exam's result.. after the results (if i passed all) i'll be waiting for the uni's firm offer letter, so its pretty much a period of waiting waiting and waiting.. wanted to look for a job, but if i managed to get all my papers passed, i'll be taking off probably by june or july.. so, will see how it goes..

Guess that's all for the day.. will update later (if i'm in the mood) =DD

The Worst is OVER!!

Finally, im over with all the studying and engineering stuffs (i mean at least for this moment) no outsiders will ever have the idea of how hard was it to get to this point.. endless cups of coffee, never-ending piles of books, stress caused by peers, disconnection from the triple-W, etc. At least, i'll get to enjoy for now =D

The 1 song i really like =D


p/s: Dad, i really hope to get the Canon 1000D =D

*Pissed!!!*

A trip back from Sungai Petani marked the start of my 2-week ground at home... don't misunderstand, i did nothing wrong, and was a total good boy (and i always was =D) since dengue cases in my grandma's housing area back in Sungai Petani were getting serious by day, dad decided to bring granny back for a stay in our house for a fortnight or so..

Fyi, dad sold off his old Mercedes to make way for the newer-but-still-old car (which i don't think he will ever get it from his bosses before i graduate from college, and i have a feeling that i won't even have the chance to take a ride on it since i might be leaving for Australia in either July or October or February 2011).. btw, i'm back to taking bus to college which was 17km from home and at the meantime, the only transport of the family is the good old Perodua My-vi... Granny is non-distant-walking-able, her wheelchair won't fit into our cute little My-vi (now i kinda miss the Mercedes's large boot capacity), and all these translates to the whole family staying at home for the whole 2-weeks of granny's stay..

Not trying to complain here... but... OK!!! so i'm complaining here, so what? i'm not those who can sit at home the whole day, and most of my friends know this fact well, a little complain here is still acceptable ok? its not like i'm protesting anyway..

Dad shouldn't had sold the Mercedes that early, he was worried he won't be able to sell the car before the road tax expires, and he was not even the one paying for the road tax.. seriously dad should only sell the car after the new car is confirmed available... now, the old car is sold, and look who is the troubled one? me!!! taking the bus to the college from komtar and back to komtar from the college everyday just ain't fun!!! see what happens now, the fcuking KL side haven't started looking for the new car, and we are here, all stuck with a small car... Social life? don't ever think about it until dad gets the new car.. =.=

*Too Lazy To Think of A Title*

I hate going back to Sungai Petani, i'll get fat going back there.. its like a food fiesta the whole day.. first was the heavy lunch, then comes lots of not-too-lite snacks and at last, to sum up the day, a heavy dinner.. i'll never get the chance to even maintain my body weight by going back to SP often.. =.=

It is kind of a peak season for education fairs this time of the year, you know, STPM results were just announced and SPM results will be out in another 3 days time, every college and universities around the world are trying to grab as much intake as possible.. In just a day, me and my family had already went to 2 education fairs.. In the morning was the Star edu. fair and in the afternoon, the Australia edu. fair in G-Hotel.. went to the Star edu. fair for my sis, she was trying to get some 'ideas' on which course and college (or the sixth form) to persue.. next was the Australia edu. fair, and it was for me..

Inquired from a representative of UWA on some information regarding courses to be taken if i were to be a financial analyst in the future, yet me and my family ended up getting a lecture from that guy for like, 20 minutes... i wasn't any clearer on which degree should i go for, and was made confused + in a dilemma for a while... he was very informative, but in a wrong way, and ironically, i kinda agree on what he told me, that's the reason i was in dilemma for a while, doubting if i chose the right path to study @.@

Its the last semester in the college and i'll have only 1 shot to finish my diploma course, any fails will send me to deferment to the university.. i should and must try all the best to finish this diploma, hence putting a full stop on my engineering education.. really hope things go well this time.. *fingers crossed*

I'm Still Alive!!

I have been disappearing from the triple-W since a long time (except for Facebook and Tweeter).. wasn't quite in a mood to go online in my Live Messenger nor to update my blog.. kinda pity my widowed blog..

Life was same old, was trying my best to finish the Friends series ASAP so i can get back to do other things that means more in life =.= talking about Friends, Joey was soo hilarious!! can't stop laughing when his stupidity strikes.. After this series, i have 3 books waiting for me.. 2 investment books and an economic books.. boring rite? not to me.. kinda like those lately, and i have no idea why, and i kept track of news of giant companies and the US Fed a lot lately.. I'M SO GETTING OLD NOW!!!! wait, i'm not, but my mind is!!! so not cool!!! but no worries, i won't be talking bout the economical issues nor stuffs related to companies here, don't wana scare you readers away.. XD

Its March and i'm still holding all the university's application form, not sure am i considered late, but there will be an Australia Edu fair in G hotel this weekend, will totally go check it out and submit those forms by then.. so, the list of institutes i'm applying for is down to 3 universities and 2 colleges.. They are all in the Western Australia.. hope they all will be offer me a place *fingers crossed*

Dad bought me a watch i had long waited for for doing the best among all exams of the past (still not good, but better).. was considering a French Connection before the current , but dad pulled out the crown of the watch and the whole thing just came out @.@ the promoter was shocked, dad was shock and i was shocked too.. didn't know French Connection watches have such crappy quality.. and so, i bought this instead :






Love this watch much.. i think i'll regret buying the French Connection.. Dad disliked the French Connection one since the beginning, he said it was a fashion watch, and will probably not last long, guess the pull of the watch's crown proved him right.. BTW, thanks dad for the watch.. and thanks mum and dad for the support.. =D

Post-exam Update

Exam was over like, a couple of days ago, and i used the next two days adjusting my biological cock.. =.= so now, im tired, and i mean tired for the whole day, day and nite, 24/7.. much thanks to 'a cup of coffee a day, keeps your sleep away', i had like, almost 15-20 cup of coffee for the whole exam period, and for the last 3 days of exam, i had only 6 hours of sleep (for the 3 days) and now im practically tired the whole time >.<

So, exam was in the previous chapter, its gonna be CNY soon, and it means i'll be going to shop for my new clothes, in fact, i will be going to Gurney Plaza with mum and sis soon.. oya, dad's in a company trip to Bangkok, enjoying the sun, the tut-tuts, the temples, the...(don't really like Thailand, so i don't really care what do they have there) so, practically he is enjoying there, and enjoying his photography sessions there @.@ will wait for the photos..

Not really in a mood of blogging now actually, but my blog seemed lifeless, so thought of adding some updates to it.. haha.. just recovered from the sore throat + flu + cough i got from my exam period, just in time to get well for CNY.. god bless.. lol..

Since CNY is so near, i'd like to make a request for an item. XD i hereby announce that i SERIOUSLY need a watch, and dad, i had been asking for like ages, so why don't you just buy me 1? *wink wink* I even watched out for your budget, this cheap watch:

instead of the expensive:



and :


See, i do watch out for your wallet, dad, the 1st watch is like 1/70 of the second watch and 1/10 of the third watch.. im such a good kid XD

The Jun's 3 'Self' Rule

This post would probably be the last update i'll make until the end of my examinations, which is on the 27th of January.

The examination worries me, but 1 thing worries me even more.. my life and studies after the diploma.. My parents made me realize that IF (a big IF here) i were to go to Aus to continue my studies, i must work not just to earn myself a living, but also to subsidize part of my own tuition fee.

Let me do the calculations here:
Each week, i would have to work for 20hours (minimum), attend around 20hours of class, take around 20hours of bus to school (2hours per way, to-and-fro means 4hours per day, 5days per week means 20hours per week). Sum all up and it will be 60hours.

Each week, we have 7x24hours = 168
1/3 of the time goes to sleeping = 1/3 x 168 = 56
Left time = 168-60-56 = 52hours

The remaining 52hours per week includes bathing, eating, revising, home-working, finding more ways to generate income and everything else. Who said studying abroad will be easy?

Then i started to realize, the 3 years of study in Aus would eventually come to a dead end if i still continue to laze around, staring the computer all the time, waiting for others to finish their home works 1st so that i can copy and do all those stupid, nonsense + non-beneficial stuffs. Not trying to prove that i'd changed, its all just pure logical thinking here, the graduating cert will never be in my hands if things continued this way..

So, for my new year's resolution (since its just less than a week after new year, i still get the chance to alter my resolutions XD), i would like to add these :

7) Adapt self-discipline in life.
8) Learn to have self-esteem.
9) Enhance self-confidence.

Wow, those were 3 'self's... and i shall call it the Jun's 3 'Self' Rule.. won't be forgetting the 5th new year resolution, choo.. XD

Oya, the above 3 rules will only be implemented AFTER arriving in Aus. haha.. so, T&C applies.. Guess i'll still be enjoying life for now (while i still can).. =D

Ew-nee-verse-city

It's time for me to pick the right university (or more to them picking me =.=). Either ways, i'd picked a few, which i'll let them pick me later on.. =D

Since i have my aunt and uncle living in Perth, there might be chances that Perth may be my next education destination (not 100% sure though, but otherwise, its KL)..If i were to study in Perth, accommodation wouldn't be much an issue, although it may take me a little longer to travel to either universities (which is least of my concern) compared the students' accommodation facilities near the respective universities.

Went talking to a university's representative yesterday with my parents and found out that my diploma was actually recognized and it shocked a hell outta me (had even thought of discontinuing my diploma and to hit A-levels instead). Was thinking of Curtin UOT at first, but since a person from the education counseling firm told us that UWA may accept my diploma too, it quickly became my first choice (but i don't really think UWA will accept, since it calls itself some sort of 'PRESTIGIOUS').


Got a collection of booklets from the universities too:

Strike out 2009 and tick 2010

Its the 1st day of a new year and no need for me to mention, we all know that its the starting of the end of the decade, so thought it would be great to have my blog updated..

To review the past year:
Much had happened in the year 2009, and some had even changed me dramatically.. will list out those which i would like to emphasize on..

Spent the whole 2009 in college, did not enjoy going to college, every semester was like a raging battle against electronics stuffs, laws, mathematics, theories, equations, electrical components and more.. but no worries, 4more months to go.. and im free!!!!! (provided i didn't fail any of the subjects) and it should be, by then, the time of most dilemma, to decide which university to go for.. Besides that, 2009 was also the year i broke with my ex, and regain my freedom XD was so happy for getting back all my freedom and now i should appreciate all that im having.. XD

Year 2009 was also an important year as it decided which path i should proceed for my studies - the finance path.. In that year, i realized whom i would turn to when i had any non-academic problems and to whom i would share my feelings with.

Resolutions for the new year:
1) to finish my diploma ASAP
2) to spend more time with my family
3) to get enrolled in a university that is at least better than TARC or UTAR =.=
4) to learn more and perhaps to start an investment portfolio
5) kick Choo's balls when he is back in M'sia =D
6) GET A WATCH!!!!!

Ok, the last 2 might be a little bit overboard.. but who cares, its MY resolution and i get to choose what i like.. So, be careful Choo =]

Punch-in-the-stomach Week

Never shall i forget.. the hectic-est week in my entire life.. you won't be able to survive this if you were any less tougher than me *proud* yea, Electronic Engineering course, year 2, sem 2, week 12, you'd carve yourself in my brain and i will never forget bout you.. imagine 2 presentations, 2 assignments and a test, all cramped in a single week and the best thing is, all were last minute jobs..

I did some part, but the credits should really go to my teammates as they really did a hard work to ensure the software is literally bug-free.. so sorry i can't help much, i suck in programming =.= and so, the week ended with a nice Christmas which i spent at home, doing things i like most, listening to soft music and to read some extra-curricular books (not the dirty ones), didn't get the chance to go for countdown this year, haih..

This week, especially Saturday, i'd been given a really really and very very important task that might determine the path of my future (exaggerated much) haha.. but, i'll still have to make the decision between furthering my studies to either Aus or KL..

Frankly speaking, KL, i have friends there, i can retain my baby desktop (and will not have to buy a lower spec laptop), the fee is cheaper, and everywhere in KL is easily accessible (minus the traffic jams which my friends kept complaining about) Aus, in the other hand, is a better place to study (i guess) and i'll have the chance to finally take a ride on an airplane *woohoo* but yet, i'll have to work to pay part of my tuition fees and can hardly meet my family... I have a feeling dad prefers Aus, he said i should learn the difficulties to earn money and at least strive in life to get things done, he is, however afraid of me getting too much freedom in KL.. i mean, come on, everything is so near to you.. me too, concern for my studies in KL, way too much distraction there... Seriously, Aus will be a better place to study compared to KL.. its really a hard decision to make.. now, the second problem, i'm not too sure whether do universities in Aus recognize my diploma.. can start to find unis in KL if the universities there don't recognize my paper.. Same problem goes to KL too.. regretted studying in TARC la, seriously, should go for SAM or A-levels instead..

well, its T minus 2weeks to exams.. guess i'll have to cut on usage of internet and start hammering my head to course-related books.. hate this point of time every sem =.= btw, wish every of my blog followers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.. =]

Done Playing

Had a tough week, have done 3 tests.. the coming week? its 1 test, 2 presentations and 2 or 3 assignments due... stressful week i had but to suppress it, i did 'SOME' gaming.. yea.. just 'SOME'.. =]

It started with Left 4 dead 2.. the zombie game.. the game play was similar to the previous version - Left 4 Dead, just with some additional zombies, weapons and maps.. might had some tweaks in the engine or graphics system, but i could barely notice it.. i still prefer playing this game with friends (which i did, in my house).. the game wasn't much a wait-worthy game.. nothing special indeed..



Next was the highly anticipated Call of Duty 6 : Modern Warfare 2.. I was crossing my fingers for the game to be released ASAP once finishing CoD4 and CoD5.. Was CoD6 a game worth playing? well, to me, i'll give it a 80% yes.. which also means that im rating this game a 80 out of 100.. why is it so? the game play was fabulous (the storyline, the switching of characters, and the challenging enemies, the maps and a whole lot of additional weapons), the graphic gave a 100% satisfaction (till now i still can't believe my computer managed to support this game to the max resolution @.@ amazing...) by now, you would be wondering, where did the other 20% went.. they were for the short game play.. the game ended when i started to get familiar with the controls.. i was like : erm, what happened? why the credits pop out of the sudden? and then, i realized, the game indeed ended.. was so damn disappointed, man..(managed to finish the game in 3 days, 4hours per day) =.= by the way, it was really a great game, keep up the good work, activision and infinity ward..




Was a fan of war-driven and strategy games since i started playing games on the computer.. i was in standard 5 back then and the 1st ever game i played was the infamous Red Alert 2 by EA.. i still love the game much, but the 3rd version was a failure.. i don't know why did the developers stopped using the concept of 'different countries with different specialties' as in USA for its paratroopers, Germany for its grand cannon and so on...

Alright, was talking too much about games.. should really go get some sleep.. its almost 4 in the morning =.= That's all folks, will be updating later.. =] thaks so much for stopping by.. Chaoz..

That's why im so not in the mood in doing anything now.. the sore throat is killing me.. everything i swallowed seemed to be a thousand needles to my throat.. and it cant be ignored..

Mum and dad went to collect goodies and tees for the starwalk, the free gift was like... walao, so many @.@ mum even placed it so neatly on the coffee table and i got shocked when i was home.. i saw these:

overall view:

I Reveal.. The Source..

It had been almost a couple of months since i get myself involved in the world of economics/business/investments, and i'm gonna reveal here, right now, the source of all these craziness..

Remember, in this post, where i mentioned about buying and starting to read the book 'Rich Dad Poor Dad'? Things had pretty much changed since i started reading this book, the way i look at things and the way i study had been different, more changes have yet to come..



In school, as an engineering student, our lecturers usually ask us 'How will you explain this to your BOSS?' or 'If your BOSS asked you to do this..' These statements don't really bother me much earlier, but getting through the book made i realize, why on earth was i so foolish to have taken up this course? (no offense to all the engineering students out there) Lets just assume i've gotten my degree in engineering and had graduated as a qualified professional engineer, what will i do in the future? of course i'll be what i was trained to be -an engineer, yet, after all those hard work to get the degree, i'm still an employee to someone, and will never get the chance to earn a fortune if things stayed in that way..

Like what i had mentioned in the previous post, i'm definitely not those who doesn't care even if i'm broke at the end of every month.. even highly-paid senior engineers have to get broke every end of the year for having to pay their income taxes.. [Another lesson learned from 'RDPD', the medium and poor stays poor for having to pay their taxes and uncontrolled spending due to a rise in salary; meanwhile, the rich stays rich and gets richer by time because they do not have to shred their pockets to pay for income taxes and they are wise enough to let money work for them, not themselves working for money]

One of the way to let money work for you is by investing.. you'll earn a fortune if stock prices goes up and you don't have to pay a single penny for income tax at the end of the year.. how nice.. but this is will only come true provided that you chose the right company to invest in..

Choosing a good company to invest in is crucial, choosing when to invest in that particular company is not less important.. Hence, i have borrowed a few books regarding on ways the World's Greatest Investor chooses his company from the library.. I have to admit that i can't fully understand what were the books talking about, there were some sophisticated terms but i do have a rough idea on how its done and will continue to refer to those books in the future..

Books i read:


(some of the books were pretty old, 'The Warren Buffett Way' was published in 1995, but good knowledge never gets old, right? =] )

Book that i'm currently reading:



One of the best thing about Buffett is that he never bother to keep an eye on the stock market and will stay away from any other speculations about the market.. He'll only check out prices of stocks in the stock market when he has a company to invest in mind..

There are a whole lot more to be learned and i have not even got myself started on economics although i have one of those big economic book sitting on my desk... LOL..

Traumatized

Ever heard of someone spending 7hours plus in PC fair and yet not an exhibitor there? Apparently you are browsing through that guy's blog =.= i'd went to pc fair with dad and three other groups of friends.. the last trip was obviously the most awkward cause exhibitors there must had wondered why in hell is this guy still here, didn't i just saw him in the morning and afternoon?

All thanks to my classmates.. i'd stated myself clear when they first asked me out that if they were to go to pc fair, i will not follow.. they managed to convince me to get in the car and told me their plans for the night.. guess where? and there's no turn-back, the car was already moving and i didn't really plan to be the next jackie chan to jump off the car just to avoid going to pc fair, would make headline in papers the next day..

And... did i mention the part where i spent only 4bucks in pc fair for the car park fee?

Not so Great Job

I really consider myself the laziest man alive now.. i have so many things to do but those things were just least of my concern.. all i care is to sit in front of my comp and stare at the screen.. but, there were times when i can do nothing with the comp, so i go to the living room to just.. do nothing.. the point is.. i have no mood at all to do anything at all..

I'm just asking myself constantly, what should i do? why am i wasting my time studying electronic stuff where i have zero interest in it? why does going to college seem so torturing for me? why do i always feel being left out in academics in school? The thing is, i know i can and will excel in the field of engineering if i had interest in it, but for now, i do feel it is a total waste of time and money taking up this course. I don't want and will not like to get paid for my job in the future, the its-the-end-of-the-month-and-i'm-broke kinda lifestyle just doesn't suit me.

I'm currently documenting the some of the ways Warren Buffett chooses his company to invest in while i should be doing my studies on the coming test.. i'm being forced to something i don't like (studying for tests & doing assignments) and it does make me feel bad if i don't do so, that is why i do it, but at the very last minute. I'm being forced by no one, but my own silliness for choosing this course in the beginning, i'd love to get myself involved in the world of business , with the economics, shares, stocks, annual reports, mammoth takeovers and stuffs.. but loving these things is like a sin for me now as they are not my part of my studies.. For now, the only thing i look forward to is to finish my current course ASAP and leave the field of engineering for good..

For some, you've realized i'd not updated my blog for quite some time.. my apologies.. wasn't in the mood for blogging till now.. and was in a dilemma, for many things.. so, now here, the latest post.. =]

Exhausted Much!!

I'm so done with Pg bridge run, i cant run, but i ran half way through o.0 surprisingly long distance for me (you have to consider the fact that i'm not a runner la).. now i can barely stand.. and all i wanted to do was to sleep until the cows come home.. oya, btw, i'm so craving for food now.. after all those running, and sweating and walking.. =.= wanted to go grab a plate in mamak and ask for "tambah nasi... x10"

so, now, Pg bridge run is over, and Starwalk is next.. have no idea why i joined all these marathons/walkathons knowing that i can't run.. but it was good time spent with parents, minus the part when we were waiting for each other =.= we were supposed to wait for each other in coffee bean, but instead, dad waited for us at the finishing line (he ran the whole 10km and was the fastest among us =.=), he missed me and mum, we waited at coffee bean for quite some time, knowing that dad will be 1st at the finish line, me and mum thought that dad went to grab some 100plus or whatsoever (oya, digi was giving away pisang that time, haha!!!), sis was the last, *lame* school rep in volleyball konon.. and somehow, later on, mum got lost the second time =.= won't talk bout that, this post will end up a page long if i tell the whole thing.. so, at last, we met, walked back to the car, which was almost a kilometer away.. serious shit..

now, thanks to all the extreme exercises, my leg aches and i am carving for food, tired much too..

mathematics 5 test is tomorrow, wish me luck.. tired even to study too =.=

chaoz, gotta go grab my brunch..

Stop the fun.. it's work time..

Since this semester started, i was in "all play and no work" mode.. seriously.. i totally forgot the aim!!! my CK watch!!!! omg!!

It was all about the watch!!!! hey.. but the good part of it.. i managed to finish Heroes and Rich Dad.. and please don't get me started with Gossip Girls =.= no more series for now, seriously.. its the 6th week of the semester and class test will start on the 7th week.. will start to study on... TOMORROW!!! will keep my promise.. and i'll start with mathematics 5...

Lets see what are the subjects i am sitting for this sem..
1) Mathematics 3
2) Mathematics 5
3) Embedded Systems, Design and Application
4) Electrical Technology and Circuits
5) Digital System and Design
6) Software and Information System Engineering
7) Analogue Electronics
8) English for Engineering

8 subjects.. anyone from other courses who wants to compete? =.= i'm so gonna die this sem.. especially for embedded systems, i know nothing bout that subject and i don't know why am i even struggling to study all these subjects..

The only thing i'm looking forward to is to finish my diploma so i can continue my degree in econs.. btw, any recommendations on where to pursue my studies (restricted to M'sia and Aus - preferably not too pocket-burning)?

Lastly, to daddy.. the "7 habits of highly effective people" you lent me wasn't much interesting.. at least to me lah.. XD so might take a longer time to finish it.. haha... and i want the book about stocks =( the "i love stocks" you intro-ed me in MPH that day and the "the Warren Buffett way"
looks interesting... oya, enjoy your trip/training/being a millionaire in Jakarta (if you see this).. take care and come back soon, everything is fine at home, and your car is in good hands too =]
