hard to make a living

aih.. mau cari makan memang susah. 

if you don't work hard, you'll earn less. 

Money will never fall from the sky.

some people enjoy first and work later.

for others, they work hard and enjoy later.

so which one do you prefer?

which one do you think is safer and more secure?

me??

i want money and i want to enjoy life. Both can work at the same time.

ok i'll work hard in my wedding photoshoot tomorrow. =p

i love to explore by bike

I love to travel. I love to go around. I love to explore and see lives. My eyes are hunger for new things that I never see. In Kampar, I have been using my bike to go around. First reason is because I don’t have a car. Second reason is because I don’t feel like travelling in a car. It’s better to go with a bike then only you can stop and see, feel and taste lives along the way. I feel life is so meaningless lo if you just wana reach your destination. . It’s not about whether you drive fast or slow. Sitting in a car is like being in a box. Go to a destination in a box and come back in a box. You don’t know what’s going on at your surrounding. That’s why I prefer to use bike if it’s in reachable distance. 

people i want to meet in Kampar

Ok i've finalised the list of people that i want to meet before i leave Kampar. Or left Kampar??

arghh! who cares! i just want to see them before i go back to Penang.

Can you see your name there?? =p

quote of the day

People are success because of the effort they put in not because they are smarter than you.

i want to win again

It has been so long since the last time I won in a competition.

Dah lama sangat..

I miss the feeling of winning!!

I wana win again!

Oh yes I’m gona win again!

I feel the urge in me.

I can feel the flame again!

watermarks?!!!

grrrhhh... I am so damn pissed off when people steal photos without acknowledging the photographer.

The least they can do is inform the photographer.

But no, they take, they use and they get the credits.

Stupid isn't it!

I like what Lilian said:

"And dun farking suggest to me to watermark my photos because people like us don't do such childish work. Only tarak standard people will grab pics from internet and use it for their commercial purpose without giving credit. People like these are like thieves. Or maybe warlords who think we minions are your slaves with cameras running around. Mind you, that camera is half mine, ok? It is my own personal lens."

quote of the day

It’s about the heart. Heart is so powerful that it can either make you win or fall. So if you set your heart and know what you want, then you can achieve it. 

Blessing in Disguise

I am happy.

I was chatting with a lecturer on what to do after graduation.

Then when i decided to start with a permanent job after graduation, i got to know that there's no vacancy in the company that i want to go.

It's kinda sad.

But she said this to me, "blessing in disguise."

At least i feel better.

Maybe everything happens for a reason. Ada hikmahnya segala yang berlaku. You won't know.

Maybe i will get something else in return.

I Googled the meaning of blessing in disguise and this is what i got.

1.      If some bad luck or misfortune ultimately results in something positive, it's a blessing in disguise.

2.      Is a good thing that you don't recognize at first as a good thing.

3.      Some people believe that good things are really "blessings" (gifts from God), that we don't always recognize for what they are at first.

4.      Something that at first seems bad, but later turns out to be beneficial.

I am worried, scared and feel insecured for not securing a job yet when i am graduating end of the year.

Everyone is valuable and priceless. Take time to figure out your selling point. You can be very expensive. =p

countdown

Counting down the last days in Kampar. I am so gona leave this place soon. Kampar is not a boring place at all. I’m enjoying it since the day I came to check out UTAR. I’ll definitely miss every single moment here. Before I leave, I wana repeat those crazy and memorable things I did in the past 3 years, meet those people that made my study life colourful, explore places that I’ve never been to, and take a closer look into Kampar.

what the Total Lunar Eclipse..

What the moon!

What the total lunar eclipse.

I see almost nothing.

Aih..

I was raining whole night here in Kampar.

People here are not that lucky.

The moon has been hiding behind the clouds.

Once a while it came out but not clear.

But ok la.. I can see the orange color.

I tried to snap some shots but it’s hard though due to the clouds and my unstable tripod.

I remember last year, about this time, there were shooting stars.

And the UTAR students, like today, flocking the road, looking up the sky..

But there are people who are not bothered about it. Yea what’s the fuss about it anyway??

No more moon tonight! Go back to study or sleep and see the sun tomorrow la.

These are the photos i took just now from my balcony.

No cropping. No editing.

ORIGINAL!

idiot + moron student

This is what happened last night.

Some moron idiotic (student) out of nowhere threw a glass bottle on the road. What’s his problem! Pieces of glassed spread widely on the road. It’s ok if vehicles got punctured but how about the pedestrians? Stupid asshole! If you wana test your strength, go take part in Olympic la. Or throw away your coins. 

Out of concern aka kaypo, I picked up one by one, as much as I could. Aih..

PERIBAHASA of the day

Hendak seribu daya, tak hendak seribu dalih

If you really want it, you will fight for it without giving excused to yourself. It’s about your heart. Strongwill, determination, hardwork will lead to success.

Air Asia RM0.10 crazy sales!

Suddenly my friend from Philippines told me that she’s getting married on 8^th January 2012. That’s like next month??

And so coincidently that Air Asia is having its 10 year anniversary sales. The ticket is as low as RM0.10!! crazy or not!! GILA!

Without wasting time, I quickly surf Air Asia’s website. I have 2 good reasons to do that isn’t?

For the first time ever, I sit in from on the laptop until now, to fight with thousands of people to get cheap flight ticket.

The line is so laggy.

Oh what a life!

It’s ok. It’s fun!! I’m so excited right now. I wonder if the ticket is as cheap as RM0.10, then RM100.00 enough for me to travel around the world or not?? Hahaha! I’m dreaming!

Anyway I’ve checked the flight ticket to Philippines. OMG! It’s about RM1000! That’s a lot..

With RM1000, I can go back to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam with Kwan Yee and Pei Suang. Hehehe.

Sorry Carla, I can’t make it for your wedding. Wish you abundance of happiness and love for the rest of your life.

Those who are still trying their luck to fly, all the best.

I’m going off now. Tata!

happiness..

I feel so excited and flattered everytime I receive a letter, e-mail, sms or even a FB message from old friends and close friends, whether they are from Malaysia or oversea.

I love that feeling!

I’m happier than when I receive a gift.

Happiness is so innocent. Sometimes you feel silly to be overjoyed by something simple. =)

morning thought

Task given is a task to be completed. You don't always get a second or final chance. Treasure every single moment. Don't repeat the same mistake. good habit leads to success.

David Goggins inspires..

David Goggins sleeps three hours a night. He has a resting heart rate of 32 beats per minute. He wakes up at 3.a.m. and runs 15 to 20 miles. He commutes 25 miles to work by bicycle. He is the only person to complete Navy SEALS “Hell Week” three times. He is the only person to complete Tactical Air Control, SEAL and Army Ranger training. With no special training, David Goggins ran 100 miles in 18 hours. In finishing that race, in 2006, he suffered stress fractures in his feet and shins, urinated blood and lost control of his bowels. David Goggins completed 10 100-mile races in 2007. He finished third at the 2007 Badwater, a 135-mile trek through Death Valley known as “The World’s Toughest Footrace.” He once ran 203.5 miles in 48 hours.

"With the Special Ops Warrior Foundation's help, we put 266 kids through college last year. And that's what keeps me going. I'll be honest, I don't like running. I don't like biking. I don't like swimming. I do it to raise money. But, now that I'm in this sport, I want to see how far I can push myself. What makes me tick is that pain you feel when you do these ultramarathons. I love knowing that everyone's suffering because I know I can suffer just a little bit more. I can take a lot of pain."

- David Goggins

“ Winning doesn't always mean being first. Winning means you're doing better than you've ever done before.”

~ Bonnie Blair

remember la..

Remember la, no one is great in the things that they do. So you don’t criticize as if you are a professional. Everyone tries their best to do something which is so alien to them. It’s something new but they try to work on it. You are not that good either.

be humble..

pain like dying

i have been in severe pain since last Saturday.

i puke what i eat.

i got diarrhoea.

Most importantly my stomach is seriously extremely pain.

Doctor said i got gastric.

I got an injection. I paid a higher price for the so-called more powerful medicines.

But no difference.

i can just curl up myself on the bed everyday.

I feel like a deadman.

Feel so disabled.

so useless..

There's nothing i can do.

I cant even sit on the chair.

I cant stand when i bath.

I cant walk properly.

I shiver when i ride my bike.

It just feels like i'm dying.

the pain is unbearable.

i always got stomachpain. I always lausai. my stomach always not ok. But it never as pain as this.

why..

Why now..

I have my Final Year Project presentation on Wednesday and an assignment's presentation on Friday.

I cant afford to be hospitalised.

I'm holding on.

But.. It feels so impossible,

Time is running out.

you may think it's not that serious but wait until you come and look it yourself.

why i still blog.

cuz i dun have to think academically when i write.

i need to blog so that at least people know what happened if i died.. or if i'm hospitalised.

i've shrink..

i wana go home..

sigh of relief

*photo by Hah Haw Yeen*

ahhh...

I hope this will be my last semester.

Yes, i am working towards it.

If it's materialised, then i can have a sigh of relief.

I will be very glad because i don't have to trouble anyone anymore.

I'm a trouble maker.

I always need people's help.

Some were forced to lend a hand.

But for those who did it willingly, i thank you.

I can't repay your good deeds but you will be given merits by your Creator.

I was lazy... I was lazy yesterday. But i'm a little hardworking today.

I jogged. I studied for tomorrow's midterm. And i did my assignment.

One step by one step la.

After exam, i will be free. I need a break, an escapade.

I'll go for a meditation course. Maybe i'll go travel as well. Most importantly, be away from the internet as much as possible for some time.

I feel calmer now after listening to Buddhist chanting and music. It's nice you know especially when my room is clean and full with aroma from the candle burner. =p

best hardest lesson in 3 years

Doing my Degree for 3 years and finishing it at the end of the year, I got the best lesson ever in my university’s life.

It’s through a very hard way.

It’s my fault. It’s my bad attitude. It’s what I deserved.

My legs are painful but it’s not as severe as the jab on my heart.

You know.. I was shivering, body temperature is so high and I so wana puke.

But it’s worth it i guess.. I will remember today.


I am tired of arguing.

So if you guys feel like procrastinating, you better don’t. =p


WAKE UP! LOOK AT YOURSELVES INTO THE MIRROR. SLAP SLAP SLAP!

GUYS, BE A MAN!

Some thoughts to ponder..

1.           If you fall, remember to stand up again. The world is not always dark.

2.           You don’t tell the whole word the bad things about your friends. Yes, your friends.

3.           If you make mistakes, admit it and don’t repeat it again.

4.           When you are in trouble, then you will know who your friends are and what it means to be a friend. The term is very subjective.

5.           It’s unforgivable if you keep on repeating the same mistakes.

6.           Teamwork is when everyone helps everyone and not getting a black sheep.

7.           You have to bear the consequences of the mistakes you made.

8.           Silence is not golden when there is crisis.

9.           Face the problem, never hide from it.

10.       Jobs delayed are jobs not done.

11.       The last thing you ever feel like doing in life is procrastination.

12.       It’s easier to blame others than to be responsible.

13.       True friends will not only say good things about you but the hurtful but truthful words too.

14.       It’s a human nature that when you make mistakes, they will tend to forget all the good things that you have done.

15.       It’s scary when a friend can say something bad behind you and a minute after that be so nice in front of you.

16.       Some people seem to be a good friend in front of people but they not always at the back.

17.       Nothing is sadder than someone that you trusted so much side others.

18.       In every dark clouds, there will be golden ray of lights at the end of the day.

19.       Hati budi manusia paling senang untuk dilihat apabila anda di dalam kesusahan.

20.       Seringkali gajah depan hidung tak nampak, semut seberang laut pula jelas kelihatan.

congratulations Malaysia!

It’s always very important not to only listen to your heart but you must follow what your hearts says than to follow what the majority do.
