Another Sunday Jotting

Sundays are always bittersweet for me cause one one hand is still a weekend and on another hand, Monday is just round the corner. Fuel prices are up again...sighs....that means another $4 increase for my full tank. The reason why we are all gloomy when it comes to fuel increase is not the fuel prices itself but the effects of it. Some MF will take advantage and raise their price of goods by 10 cents or 20 cents..biacthes...we all know that 20 cents extra in diesel prices dont transalate to 20 cents on other stuff. You can see all these MF traders around us, the mamak stalls, restaurants and many more shops. I hope these people burn in hell.

Enough of anger management, its time to party!! Next week in convo weekend and i think i can smell party from here...eheheh...Most of my homies already agreed to stay over on friday night and i reluctantly agreed. At first i was thinking of driving up and down the PLUS highway for two days but because i'm gonna end up lepaking till late night on friday, might as well just bunk in. Afterall, its not often that it happens. Cant wait for the party and oh yeah, if you guys think that our scroll is gonna be a nice piece of paper with designs on it ( like all other degrees recognize or not) forget it....MMU's degree scroll is one piece of shit i tell ya, just one piece of A4 paper that can be printed by anybody. So if anyone wants a nice fake scroll with a design based on RMIT scroll, I'm taking orders. Gonna print myself a fake degree.heheh ...nuff said.

just a song...

"Then the rainstorm came over me

And I felt my spirit break

I had lost all of my belief you see

And realized my mistake

But time through a prayer to me

And all around me became still

Through the rainstorm came sanctuary

And I felt my spirit fly

I had found all of my reality

I realize what it takes

I need love, love's divine

Please forgive me now

I see that I've been blind

Give me love

Love is what I need to help me know my name"

Hopes and dreams - My American Dream

What a week it has been, Audiowarfare on Thursday night and lotsa talks on the street on AP's and other political stuff that dont matter to me. Theres also talks of dreams of going abroad to start a new life and most of the time Australia and UK come up tops as choice destination. Deep inside me, i have always dreamt of going to the United States (where dreams can come true) and make it big there, to live the American Dream just like most immigrants that arrive at Lady Liberty's doorstep at NY Harbor once a upon a time long ago. At this moment of time, i'm a bit hesitant of that dream. It seems that right here in Malaysia i might just get a little lucky if i try hard enough and might just end up rich. Also the global situation is just not so conducive for living in the big US of A ( Damn that Redneck President!)
Sighs, bad timing that all these has to happen now when i am eager to venture out and when i have nothing to lose. Or do i have everything to lose? I dunno. But if a better life quality that i am seeking, then the bold move must be made no matter what. The only stumbling block is recognition, a degree from MMu just dont cut out outside Malaysia, know what mean? So my ticket will be an Internationally recognized qualification which i have to take in the near future.
So there's my plan for my hope and dreams. I have a dream but as always the opportunity costs are just to difficult to calculate. Or maybe its time for me to sleep?

Rainy days....

Its been a boring day with a great wheather...yes..i love the rain actually...playing football at the MMU rugby field this evening does bring back some good memories of my good 3 years there. I cant help but miss my uni life and its mostly cause my life is not as happening as it was those days...which ended a year ago...now i have no life, so to speak. I miss hanging out with crowd and also living the hostel life with loud music, Warcraft and Coke, etc....

As this point of my working life, i feel like there is whole range of mountains to climb...if the past 24 odd years have been like Mt. Everest, then this is the K2 summit we are talking about...tougher to crack even for the pros who can climb Everest. Its humbling to know that all the achivement and past glory count for nothing now, its so sobering to think about it when you do at times like today. But despite all this there is one thing that wont change and still counts no matter what happens....His love from above still counts and He is my guide when night falls on my path. Its the truth and by the way, enjoy the wheather...

Clouds...

If you ever bothered to read up my blog once in a while, you will notice that i have gaps in between my post. Well, ever since i left HSBC i seem to be not getting enough time online to update posts and also to get some good sleep. I think i need to revamp my life totally....get more online time and hopefully some life...

Binge Weekend

Man,...its a long time since i enjoyed my self drinking and eating carelessly. On friday night , i had like one of the best weekend night in this year!! Imagine dinner with colleagues at Kelab Golf Negara Subang with 2 bottles of red wine, one 1996 Vintage Dom Perignon champagne, one Martell Cordon Bleu, one Macallans' Forties and of course a cuban cigar. That is what i call enjoying fine moments of life..when you are fortunate to have great colleagues that have memberships to exclusive golf and country club and fine fine alcohol.

Words cant explain the pleasures of that weekend but i think it was partly contributed by the fact it was a mixed feelings week. I had fun at the SAP SummIT 2005 conference and got to know a few chicks..hehe but also some sadness on the London bombings. One moment you are carefree reflecting on a good day and another moment thinking of the events that happen in London. Some people wont be fortunate to celebrate weekends and some will be left with bad memories but i belive that London and her residents will be resilient and overcome this. With my pleasures on the weekend i also extend a prayer to the Lord for His blessings and also for Him to always protect us Malaysians.Amen.

Sunday and Live 8

Yeah man, Bob Geldof organized a hell of show last night from London, Berlin , Moscow, Philidelphia, Paris , Tokyo and a host of other places i cant recall. Live 8 rocks !!...but will it really give an effect to G8 to do something about poverty?..i really hope so. We are living in totally materialistic society here in Malaysia or shall i say Klang Valley. All we do is complain that we dont have BMWs and Evos or that we dont have enough money to buy that RM 400 shoe or clothes at KLCC or One Utama so its a bit hard for me to imagine that they are really people out there who are dying cause they cant afford Panadol or some flu and cough medicine. But its true that some kid in Africa is dying every 3 seconds...yeps. All because they are too poor and all we do is complain that our lives are not fortunate enough. Its sad but i really hope and pray that at least something can be done by powerful nations to eradicate poverty with their billions of dollars that are currently being used to wage wars and to conquer some third world econoy. Damnit G8, its time you put your dollars to some good for once.

Thank God its Friday!!

Well, it has been a very long week indeed. Since Monday, I have not been able to get enough sleep and due to that, my thinking process was a bit affected by it. Oh yeah, I got my car dented by a motorbike too during this week. Sighs, its bad enough the whether is not good at all but these obstacles just do push my patience to a limit. I’m beginning to feel like the global economy where I has been subjected to bad whether and high oil prices with the prospects that US consumer spending wont be increasing soon. Talk about high oil prices, are you one of the people fooled by the rumor that prices are gonna increase? If you are, don’t you know so far all the price increase was announced on Wednesdays? Yea man chill out…petrol price would only increase after the cabinet meets on Wednesdays and the announcement will come on that evening itself via radio and TV. Come on guys, you should know better than trusting some SMS or internet rumor. Have faith in the mainstream media for once in these kind of news.

As i met with Kameeni and Charveen during lunch at Cyberia, i realized that since i have entered MMU back in 2001 till now i have not joined any organization outside of Cyberjaya...MMu...HSBC...now some company at Century Square....wow...i love Cyberjaya!!!
hahaha...and good luck to all my friends that are on a job search, i wish you all the best and may you land the job of a lifetime so we can have a nice chat sometime...kekeke
