Mum, Dad, everything i told u guys about, i wasn't joking

Was talking with my folks on skype, i remembered mentioning something about not going back to Msia after my degree, that's where everything started. Every one of close friends and family are aware that 'Move to New York City' is on the top of my to-do-list since forever. Judging fr0m the tone of my parents while talking to me (although the exact words not spoken) on that issue, i was pretty sure that they weren't convinced that i have set my course straight to moving to the big apple, and even if they do, they weren't showing their full support (and i don't mean financially). Dad actually questioned my decision and asked why do i not want to settle down in M'sia.

Truth to be told, i'm not at all happy the way that country is handled, racial issues are still in the country's way even after decades of debate (at least those in the US are better at handling their racial issues), this place is definitely least of where i want my children to grow up in. MYR, the other reason why i would not like to settle down in Msia, it makes traveling to other parts of the world 3 times more expensive as compared to tourist from the US and Aus and unless you own a very large pile of stocks in large corporations (which is also hardly to be seen in Msia), you'll be literally living your whole life within M'sia, and with those crappy 4k/month salary, the furthest you'll be able to afford is Hatyai. The conservative asian culture is also crap and till this day, its the culture that i blame for my low self confident. Why choose to be in a developing nation with crappy conservative culture when your children have the chance of moving to the much better, already developed, and the most advance nation in the world with an advantage of being able to stand out of the crowd for not fearing to voice out their opinions as to not being influenced by the generally conservative and shy asian culture.

Believe it or not, i have spent countless hours thinking on how to work this out, i have thought of ways to get the green card, how to raise money to pay for rent/mortgage for the first few months in the state before actually getting a job there, and ultimately, how to support my parents there. I do realize that it is a very big decision im trying to make here (thx for reminding), having to leave my family and friends for however long period to achieve something that i really want.

My parents might never look through this blog (or anyone else) since it has been inactive since probably the stone age. Here, i'd like to lay out my plans to move to the empire state:

Plan 1:
Finish my degree, work in Aus or elsewhere for some time before applying for a postgraduate degree in a university in US, hence easing the application of the US green card, finish the masters degree, obtain the green card and settle down there, bring my parents over when income has stabilized.

Plan 2:
Finish my degree, apply for an internship in the US (which i highly doubt that it will work as im a freaking ASIAN), apply for a work permit visa, bring my parents over when income has stabilized.

Plan 3:
Get an absolutely good grade, get a scholarship to a postgraduate program in the States.

Plan 4:
The US diversity green card draw, won't count too much on that, only 50,000 people will be chosen per year.

Plan 5:
Investors visa.. the riskiest and as the last resort after all above plan has failed. I'd have to get enough fund to actually acquire a company in USA to gain control for me to even be entitled for this visa.

p/s: i do also mean it when i said that i totally lose interest in asian girls. I'm pretty aware that im also an asian (which i am definitely not proud of) and that my chances are pretty slim, but what the heck, i'd rather be single than dating a normal asian girl. NO OFFENSE.

Joke Of The Day

Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets all travelling at maximum velocity. The idea was to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields. American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the American engineers. When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer’s back-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin like an arrow shot from a bow..

The horrified engineers sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions. Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo:

Defrost the chicken..

The World's What !?!?!?

This duck-head-looking 1936 Bugatti 57SC Atlantic was bought for a price tag of $30~40million!!! it was so titled "the world's most expensive car".. what the hell were they thinking about??? i'll give it a title too, "the world's ugliest car".. and apparently, Ralph Lauren has 1 of the 2 (the other, which is the one in the above picture, was sold) completely original Atlantics in this world!!! >.< i'd rather buy 40million bucks worth of super cars or super luxury cars or even a private jet instead of this..

Encouragement

There were times, when one felt like doing something, fearing about the uncertainties and scaring of the worst that might happen out of it... this is when a little push from someone really does matter a lot and might impact a lot.. we used to call that encouragement, and sometimes, it really does make a whole lot of difference to someone..

Take myself as an example, i was very very uncertain when the thought of changing to an economic course came to mind. Economics was like being in a totally different world from the engineering world i'm in now, there were new terms, new concepts, new rules and everything seemed alien to me.. knowing the uncertainties i was having, my parents told me, if i was sure that economics is be the one for me, i should go for it no doubt.. It was that encouragement that took me to a whole new level, i started reading business/economic articles, started to take notice of global economic trends and so on..

In contrary, if it wasn't that push, i would had just forget about taking know those economical issues happening around me, and won't even bother to read those StarBiz articles.. In the end, i might end up doing something i don't at all like in the future..

Here are two inspirational videos out of the many circulating around the web.. they do highlight the word "Encourage" a lot..

All I Have To Give - Backstreet Boys

Glove = Ferarri California

You would probably wonder what the title meant.. Those who came across the news will know what i mean..

Was stated in the Sun today, a hongkie businessman bought a glove wore by King of Pop the 1st time he performed Moon Walk back in 1989.. Guess the price? Well, the price somehow sore more than 20times its estimates, a staggering US$ 350k (1.2million bucks in m'sia) and that was the price before commissions and tax charges.. heard it from Fly.fm that the net price of the glove was RM1.7million =.= big time spender la, that fella, maybe it was considered a retail therapy to him? o.0


Just to compare, i'll take the Ferrari California since i was always a supercar fanatic.. for the same price tag, you'll get 454 horses working for you at 7600rpm, a 4.3L V8 engine and a whole lot of attention from peoples.. sounds like a better offer right?


Or for the same amount of money, you can buy a considerably big house, a family car.. why spend all those money on a glove (not a pair, its 1 side of it since MJ wears only 1 sided gloves).. one thing's for sure, the value of the glove doesn't depreciate much, maybe it isn't worth that kinda money too >.< but the Ferrari California will definitely depreciate half its price in half a year.. lol...

It's 3am in the morning.. M'sian time i mean (since i have many friends outstation, i almost forget in which time zone am i in =.=) .. and yea, did i tell you that i gotta wake up at 7? blame it all on the caffeine.. but i had my coffee around 6pm @.@ almost 9hours ago.. WTH..

While i was rolling on my bed, far left to right.. ok, kidding.. what i meant was.. while i was on my bed, trying to have my eye-close moment so i can somehow get tired and sleep, something kept reminding me of the day of celebration i had loved since i was a kid.. =D

Seriously, I do want to give you everything

I'd tried to stop thinking, but it's useless, because you're everywhere..

Tried not to talk about, but i can't, because i cant stop thinking..

Tried giving up, but it won't work, because you're the reason that made me move on and strive..

If i had the world, i'll give it to you, i promise..

But for now, you're my world and my love is all i have to give..

There are words in my mind, i want to say it out loud to the world, but i cant..

So now, i'll substitute those words with "All The Best & Take Care".. =]

this blog is specially dedicated to miss CZW..

Whadahell About Crushes

(Video courtesy of a friend in Facebook, forgotten who =.=)

Crushes are wonderful feelings.. Everyone had/has it, and don't try to deny it =] Love at the first sight is nothing special, i had it before, but most feelings weren't strong enough to initiate me to make a move.. but even if they were strong, i will never be dare enough to make that move, so, it'll never work out with me =.= but then, things does happen and you can't avoid it at times..

For now, folks.. =]
