Selamat Hari Merdeka!!!

31st August. What does Merdeka Day means to me? Well, for starters a holiday and second my friend's birthday. But more than that, its the date our country gained independence from the Brits. Yeps, for our forefathers it was a day that they have dreamed and fought toe and nail for. Those days were hard but somewhat tough days makes us much more united than it is now.

I still remember the National Day parades back in the 80's and early 90's. The highlight for me was when the Police and Army took their turn at the Dataran Merdeka and i definitely love the flybys from the Air Force jets. As a kid growing up then, i was excited by the affair mostly because school was out and the jets that took part in the parade will fly pass my house. It was an awesome sight of jets above your head outside your home. It was the good old days where 20 cents aiskrim potong rules with Chicadees. It was fun then and how i wish we can return to the good old days where people work hard and actually do things for the country rather than for money and race.

I believe all of us have a dream of a better Malaysia and of course we dont expect Utopia but at least a throw back to the golden days of the 1980's. For my part, i'll do what i can and if all else fails i will still be proud that when i was a kid i loved my country. Happy National Day guys!

Merdeka Speacial: My Top Ten Wish List

For our country's 48th birthday this year, i have drafted my top ten list of what wish could happen or should happen. Its an open list which i have long thought about and want to share with you all.Here goes nothing....

10. Make me a rich crony so i can help my fellow buddies..i mean fellow citizens.

9. Say 'Tak Nak" to ciggies. For real.

8. What happened to the AP issue? ( not Approved Permit but Ayah Pin)

7. I want some APs too and leave Naza alone. He is kind enuff to make cars cheaper for us to own. You rock man!!

6. Better service from Government Hospitals. Its about time man, its about time.

5. Save the Tigers! No, not the beer but the real ones that can be found waiting to be cooked in dodgy restaurants in places like Puchong and Broga. Burp!..soree...heheh

4.Perodua to continue making us Malaysians proud to own quality cars. It not cheap mind you.

3. Proton to make quality cars instead of the cheap plastic rubbish now. We love ya but even love got its limits. If younger bro Perodua can, you can too!( If Proton quality like Nissan, i sure buy wan)

2. Policies that favour the hardworking and the intelligent (even if its for Ahmad and Ali.. Ah Kow and Muthu can still JV with Ahmad and prosper ;P)

1. God Bless Malaysia!, Its has been a long and tough road to get here and its not gonna be any easier ahead. For everything and nothing else, i pray to God to shower His love and care to Malaysia and shield its people from suffering and to continue the prosperity that we have enjoyed. And oh yeah, continue to give Pak Lah the strength and the will to fulfill his promises as Prime Minister.Amen.

These Days

These days - the stars seem out of reach

But these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets

These days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age

Even innocence has caught the morning train

And there ain't nobody left but us these days

-Bon Jovi

It doesnt take a genius to know whats going on in my mind.Its just me.

seeking heaven

Its one of those days again, broke and bored. Weekends arent really an exciting prospect these days with almost all entertainment cost money(movie,theater,shopping,makan and minum) so i should be thankful that i stay at the grounds this weekend and prepare for next week's. Is this the world we live in today? need to spent to enjoy? to some extent it has, even going to church cost money (car fuel). What happens when i dont earn? what happens when i run out of money? would it be nice if i am rich? Yes, being rich is the heaven many is seeking. I wont deny i harbour hopes of being rich but to what extend? The dangers the road of riches are known to plunge unsuspecting blokes to the hell of being drunk with money and power. Once you tasted it, you crave more and more. The hunger will leave you devoid of your soul. You will forget the love and ways of God.
I still cant find the heaven i seek but i do believe its assured if i maintain what is close to my heart and not lose my focus. Patience is key and success is not assured in finding heaven of wealth but it is for health.

How Can We Have The Assurance Of Heaven?

Recognize our sinfulness (Romans 6:23).

Believe Jesus died for us (Acts 16:31).

Receive Him as Savior (John 1:12).

Trust His promise (John 20:31).

questions and answers

"..........this has been going on in my mind for sometime now, maybe days. Is it the right thing to do? One part says i should forget it and another says gamble away. The stakes are high especially when emotions are involved. I have been trying to forget it and only heaven knows how much intellectual reasons i tell myself this plan wont work out. Its still here in my head. The problem is what i feel is honest and i cant find any reasons to justify it. Its there when i wake up and its there when i sleep.

Madness happens when you fall for someone. I am experiencing it right now.I didnt want this to happen because it i am tired of how things end up for me. I always lose, all the time. Maybe its me, maybe i dont have what it takes. I ran away from it for more than a year until now. Deep inside i want to gamble it but burned hands and fears is holding me back. I dont wanna to make a fool of myself again. All i wish for is that what i feel disappears into thin air and save myself from losing what is dear to me. Losing a relationship is painful. It still hurts till today. "

- Tales of a Secret War

I can feel the heat now

Now, for the proper entry of the day. My job at Pharmaniaga is just gettin exciting. I am now tasked with finding suitable companies to meet during our exhibition in Jakarta this September( which i will go barring problems) and it aint easy seeking good companies in Indonesia because they all go with a different name on the Internet and the language is kinda hard to understand. But its all so newto me and today has been very hectic trying to sort out this and few more other stuff. Its gonna be fun these few coming weeks, i can feel it coming. Watch this space for more.

Lost it....

I blow my DDR RAM last nite. As a result i lost a whole long entry i was writing here and i'm still pissed. It was a long economic article expressing my views and thoughts which i had in my head that time. Its lost now along with the darn RAM, and i have to spend 200 bucks gettin a replacement. Such is life.....

Drops of H20

yeps....rain on the streets. its not much but at least it rains and i hope that a thunderstorm will come our way. Its been a long day and Thank God its a fine day! Clearer skies in the day, and drops of jupiter at night....sweet.

BioHaze-ard : State of Emergency

Well, looks like things are getting serious...Port Klang and Kuala Selangor are now in the State of Emergency where all schools, offices and businesses are to be closed. Those exempted are shops selling food, supermarts and clinics and those essential services. I think if things dont change, Cyberjaya and Subang will be the next in the list as things are not looking good in terms of the wind direction as well as the absence of rain. As i met with some folks from Jabatan Kaji Cuaca, they confirmed that chances of respite is quite slim at the moment.
As chronic as it may be, be thankful that other areas like Ipoh, Penang, Melaka are not affected yet by the haze so there is still a chance of an evacuation to these holiday spots. Its time to plan a weekend holiday guys. Its not Game Over just yet.

BioHaze-ard : Dawn of the Red Sun

Damn, the haze is getting worse it seems from yesterday. Everyone is buzzzing around regarding the haze as the air quality has detiorated badly and it seems that we cant do anything much. When i drove to work just now, the sun was just a red dot in the sky....bad omen.....its just twilight zone out there with an API that could be around 200 in Kajang and close to 390 in Cyberjaya. Its not good....just not good.

Hopes and Dreams- Another dude's going on Eurotrip

Man...i havent seen Yee Shin for weeks and now he is going on a tour in Europe this Thursday. I mean this dude followed the example of another friend of ours by quiting his job and just board the plane to UK. Just like that...wow....
This means i have lost another kaki for mamak sessions..sighs... but i really hope he finds his calling on this trip of discovery and fulfill his dreams. I will be following his steps too...soon i hope.

OMG !! I cant believe it all over!!!

Yahoo!!!.. I am now an official graduate student of MMU, yeps yeps....now i'm a qualified ninja after close to one year finishing my studies and working. Its funny that my convocation took place at a time where my career is starting to bloom. I'm happy that after all the playing and disregard of my studies i managed to get my piece of paper qualification .Thank God above!!

This batch of students that graduate will be a promising future for the country as i believe all of us are armed to the teeth with IT knowledge and with the His grace , we will rule one day!! But on the same note, i am sad too that finally my campus life comes to an official end. I never thought my 3 years in MMU will bring so much meaning in life to me. No more skipping classes and waking up late, no more crazy adventures in my Batmobile, no more noises from HB 1, no more gang and most importantly no more carefree days. I know I gotta let it go and look foward to the future but it sure feels like the last episode of Friends, if you know what i mean. Sighs....Thank You and Goodbye MMU, you are the best times of my life.
