MBA: Entrepreneurship & Creativity - Session 1

2010-02-08T14:57:00.000+11:00

Entrepreneurship and Creativity this semester is thought by Professor Nelson Oly Ndubisi. A well liked lecturer with the reputation of keeping the class lively and has an affinity with Durian.

His first session was held last Saturday 10-1pm as a replacement to his supposed KL Day debut for 2010.

This module of course takes us through the importance of entrepreneurship and its creativity, the theoretical approaches and behavior of entrepreneurs, six stage problem solving and many more.

This Module is a 50% coursework and 50% 2 hour examination of 2/6 questions.

He also emphasizes that everyone has creativity. It is more on how one expresses it. that makes a difference. Some may be creative in pre-conceptual creativity (Inventing innovations) while others are stronger in post conceptual creativity.

The session also encourages the students to identify our own strengths and weaknesses to better place ourselves in our team.

The Six stage problem solving process takes us through 6 roles
An Explorer, A Detective, An Artist, An Engineer, a Judge, and a Producer.

Each has its different approaches, and strengths to solve a problem.

Nelson takes a more light heart approach to things and plays around with the class. Encouraging more creativity I suppose as is the whole objective of his class...

...To tell us that all of us are creative.

First MBA Class - Innovation Management

2010-02-08T14:48:00.000+11:00

The first Class of my MBA Wednesday 27th Jan 2010 held from 630 - 900pm ( We ended early this time). I noticed that quite a number of the students were full time students and that only a handful (Including myself) that were part time first semesters.

Veterans spoke freely and confidently from various backgrounds. R&D, Business, Law, accounting, Engineering. There were those with decades of experience but looked like teenagers.

Anyway my first class was on 'Innovation management', the lecturer, Dr.Rosniwati seem to do well as a moderator of the class, and i find that she was quite updated to the current affairs.

The class was more of an introduction; overview of the entire course. For this one, there will not be an exam, BUT there will be a group presentation as well as a 3000 short essay.

The Group presentation would be a 4-5 person group and would have to be an Innovation Audit on any company of which i would suppose will determine if they are of a steady-state nature or a discontinuous/disruptive nature, or a good mixture of both?

As for the essay, it would be on our 2-cents of how we would recommend some improvement to the Innovation department of that particular company.

Many issues and examples were flying into the discussion including, Air Asia, Apple, somehow Viagra came in as well, Virgin, Nokia, Toyota; many of which had their unique take in the business world.

In this context, an innovation would be an upgrade/evolution of a particular product may it be incremental or radical and would have to have to contain an economical value.

i suppose the gist of the first class was to open the minds of the students to what innovations can effect an economy, various models of which many of the Fortune 500 are based on. Only 60% of those who made it sustained through the decade. And What analyzing and recommendations could effect the outcome of each particular company.

Innovations are sometimes to the extent of braining the innovation team right to the resorts and away from restriction for they understand that creativity blooms with freedom.

During the breakout session, the Dr. came up with a small exercise. On whose innovation would be the best and how to think out of the box. We made paper planes. And the best would obtain the best revenue.

Which would be the case in the open market with plenty of contenders.

As a homework our team requested to come up with a Team name.

MBA Induction!!

2010-01-26T01:03:00.000+11:00

The beginnings are always easy. No expectations, no background, full of hopes.....also its a Briefing so no pressure at all. But on the part of the organizers, a 1 and a half hour briefing turned out to be a 2 and an a half hour one.

Nonetheless, they were very accommodating and tried to shorten their presentations as much as they can without losing the gist of the presentation.

nothing much to say about the first day. Other than, I've decided to take 'Entrepreneurship and Creativity' and 'Innovation Management'. So my Mondays and Wednesdays will be taken up I suppose.

Till Wednesday then.

Cheers!

Happy New Year! Happy New Decade!

In a week's time, I will enroll as a student (once again) into the University of Nottingham in Malaysia to kick off my MBA course. Now I'm sure there are some who DO blog about their courses, so I too hope that this blog will keep me on track as I move along. Much like those video logs in Avatar. Which I think is an awesome movie :).

This is gonna be a 4 year course because I will be taking it part time. Hence i do hope there will be a difference when I graduate in the end.

On another note, I have also just joined the MII(Malaysian Insurance Institute) Toastmaster's Club. I figured if I had to go into the business/ management world, I should hone some public speaking skills too. Writing and speaking is two different things altogether. One cannot Backspace a sentence spoken. It'll probably also help with the communication for purpose of networking and future communications.

As for the Tricade? I'm in the midst of learning a piano piece called 'Way Back into love' from the movie "Music & Lyrics", Dad is taking me to the Driving range for Golf this Wednesday, and I'm locked in for a trip to Perth in April.

Tricade Challenge Kuuga? "Protecting everyone's Smile"? Well Ive been really good with One liners both on Sunday with the Outcast Group and yesterday with the Ex-Mumsu gang. And they seem to be ROLFing rather than just smiling, so I must say I did a pretty good job. Still there's still the ultimate test of cheering up a down person. Its so difficult to not get sucked in too. But I suppose I'll have to workout the limits.

Well I guess that's progress for now. Hope to be updating more often on my MBA progress and hopefully getting feedback from more people. ^.^

Tricade Resolutions for the new Decade!

2009-11-28T21:58:00.005+11:00

MBA practice Consumer analysis

2008-08-12T00:44:00.002+10:00

Since no one reads this blog I shall make use of this to practice my MBA skills...So first chapter is marketing...

So according to this book...there are 7 steps in creating a marketing strategy.

1) Consumer analysis
2) market analysis
3) Competition analysis
4) Distribution
5) marketing mix
6) Econs
7) and revision...

so I suppose we could start from consumer analysis then...

So what is the need or use of a perfect man product?
Companionship, reliable, efficient, long-lasting, durable, compatible.

Who will obtain the product and who will use the product?
well since its an end product, I suppose the obtainer and the user is the same.

Ok involvement and all i guess can skip for now..lets move on to
demographic segmentation

Age - Young hehe prolly users between 18-24
Sex - Female
Income - I guess not really relevant
Martial Status - Singles required lol
Family Life Cycle - empty nesters or mate hunters lol
Education/Occupation - more matured the better but naive is okay as well
Ethnicity,religion, race: Asian, anything, Chinese or mixed.

haha dem this looks more like a dating recruitment than an analysis lol

Next up Marketing Analysis!

August 08 monologues

2008-08-10T11:07:00.002+10:00

WARNING May be offensively funny!
You know my brother used to use this abbreviation a lot. SAD. Stands for 'Single available and desperate. Goes with Bad, Bi-available and desperate but thats a different story altogether.

SO anyway he recites this mantra like, well quite frequently and so it hits my muscle memory. So now I'm 'sad' most of the time. Only variable is not the S and A part but the D part.

And so Ive lived my life as a 'sad' person. Cause now, I find that women don't find me attractive at all. Don't ask me why. They don't find me hot, except for one, but thats cause she was curious why i didn't need a jacket to stay in the cinema.

Girls don't find me handsome, except aunties who of course dig young men. (Pause) watch out uncles lol.

But what i find that I can attract apart from flies, kids, gays and grandmothers, are people who have depressions in life. Regardless of gender.

Not because that I'm in a much worst state then them....well thats not the case ....usually. But because I somehow or rather am able to cheer them up.

How? u might ask? Don't ask me Im a comedian not a therapist for god's sake.

Measure of my ability?? cause i know usually when we measure a comedian we go like...hahaha this is hilarious this guy is good...or wth u suck. So theres only two grades, Good and suck.

But But I have testis!! 'Testimonials' for you dirty minded b*stards. I can proudly claim....That I can make a young girl, laugh! in 'I am Legend'. At the part where the zombies are huddling together in the building. Don't ask me dumb questions on why i was with young girls in a cinema, they were old friends k? And we were suppose to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks.

I can make tears of sadness turn into tears of joy within minutes! How? Again? haven't you learnt ur lesson? Im a dem comedian Dude!

But I do have my limits. Like every comedian, we only have a cup to drink from. Once we gypsies siphon off ur sad tears, we have to store it till we become full of depression ourselves. So thats why our jokes usually turn sour...at least for awhile.

But thats not the bad part. I find that usually, I have become a tears transfusion centre for most people. Its till the extent that they get on in their lives until something goes wrong, then they will find time to recharge and then head back in their life.

I mean...so where do I come in in their life apart from being a water treatment centre? Sometimes its so bad I feel like I must have lost my own life, cause in this one I feel like a spare.

Speaking about things that begin with the letter 'S'. I think my whole life's been surrounded by them. Im Single and straight, I dance Salsa, my favorite Superhero is Superman, Love sweet stuff, would enjoy sex if i weren't single i suppose, prefer skinny than chubby, almost everything to do with Ss. No 'ass' doesn't start with the letter S. But the act of does start with an...shoot! Mind U Im SAD not BAD.
- Juzzy Good Day!

Suffering and the Cause of suffering...

2008-01-10T16:13:00.000+11:00

For years under the rule of "realistic" guardians who have both been scarred with the negative perception of making mistakes, one has been tainted with the fear of learning.

Years, of being brainwashed into thinking that mistakes are lethal and that one should follow the status quo of the ancient's wishes and not the wishes of oneself.

Years of being under vigilant watch on what is perceived to be the best path as if time and environment has not changed since 1969. Years of being chained under the rule of the grasping mind and the dead mind.

With so many chains and bolts that has wrapped over oneself who finds that he is alone in the middle of a snake pit. How will one survive when one day oneself finds that the chains are gone, and oneself is totally naked, unable to fend for oneself in the pit of limitless possibilities of death and suffering?

Not knowing that the 'best method' of protection is indeed signing the death warrant of oneself, when everyone else has been bitten by the snake and has started to receive immunity. Only terrible death will await oneself...or would it?

But with so much constriction and disability of being helpless in the pit. What of the benefits of being so fresh and delicious to the patient snake waiting to have it's meal?

Could the weigh of the chains actually allow oneself, to move faster and dodge the snake's advances? How does one reflect on the goodness of this protection? How ready would onself be to tackle the problems of the world when oneself has not had hands on experience of the deluded and polluted world? Let alone two guardians who unknowingly increasing the temptation of the snake to strike?

With a sigh, the snake is curling up for an attack, waiting for the fading chains to dematerialize....
How would oneself who has seen countless attacks but not experienced it oneself fend off such attacks when the moment of truth reveals itself into play?

Juzzy's Juz-Tech Christmas WIsh List! XD

2007-12-02T13:56:00.000+11:00

CHristmas is just around the corner. Christmas trees are gearing up. Shops are bringing down their prices. PC fair is around the corner. Everyone is getting ready or will be jolly. So, I'll post my

10 JuzzyTech Budget Christmas WIsh-List!! In no Particular order! But for Countdown's sake...I'll start from 10

No.10 - IZZI(tm)

Now with this all new 4G capability. You can travel anywhere around the city..(KL for the moment) and still check you Email! Imagine, reaching the venue of your luxurious date without missing a dungeon quest your Guild leader ask you to attend!

Wireless connectivity is the order of the day using radio waves instead of copper phone lines. iBurst offers a new kind of portability and freedom that traditional wired networks cannot offer. Within the area of the base station network closest to you, you can maintain this connection in an always-on mode. You no longer need to wait until you get to a location which provides connectivity. - www.izzi.com.my

At the moment, iZZi has 4 main packages iZZione, iZZiyou, iZZipro, and iZZiteam. iZZione is for notebooks, while iZZiyou is a USB terminal where one can connect it to any PC. iZZipro is a desktop terminal that can be useful for a PC or a network of PCs. And the team package is basically you + pro. A pro package costs up to 1.5k a year. Pretty good for a unlimited 1MBps connection.

No. 9 Canon PIXMA i90v

Malaysia's most competent portable printer. My first experience with this kind of printer was with the i50. My Japanese colleague Mr. Wada-san always had it on his table connected to his laptop. I was immediately impressed when he took my picture, plugged it into his laptop, added some cool frames and dialogue bubbles and printed out a 4" by 6" borderless!

The i90v is similar, but with Vista capability among other things. It has 4800dpi and tiny 2pl ink droplet resolution, able to print a 4X6 in 81 seconds, 16ppm mono and 12ppm colour. Wireless printing using irDA and Bluetooth. PicBridge capabilities, 2 hour batteries as well as in-car support! This printer is truly amazing. But the price is currently RM888, of course a match with it's technology.

No 8 - Photo Safe From Digi Foci

A portable harddisk that you can safe your pictures in while on a photo shoot with memory sticks. It's like reloading gun Woohoo!! If only I had a DSLR. T.T

No 7 - 3rd Gen Laguna Renault

A Renault drove into the plant one day scratched and dented. It seemed to have suffered concussions and kisses with the guard rails. Inside was a whole new story. HUD with phone and GPS capabilities, a small knob for control, cruise control, keyless entry, sunroof. Almost everything a techie would want. I just didnt know the name of the car. But I have a big feeling its this car.

No 6 - Ipod 160GB

WHats there to say? Multifunctional mp4 player with a big capacity for love.

No 5 - Nikon D70

Another no brainer, cheaper than a D80, but what the heck, Im just a point and shoot son of a gun who is just starting out, a RM3k investment like this one is considered a high end. But do check yours out if you have the money to spend lol.

No 4 - High Definition Handycan Camcorder HDR-CX7

One of the smallest and lightest handycams that I have shown an interest to. 3.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor, High and standard definition modes, 10x optical zoom, built in intelligent flash, nightshot, even touch focus. Oh I just love it! Last time I checked, the hot promoter in Midvalley said it was RM4999. I want CAPEX! I want CAPEX!

No 3 - Mac Pro

Two things about Apple products, 1) they are user friendly 2) I don't have to explain why I want it. Its simply a no brainer.

No 2 - MacBook Pro

15" 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1440 x 900 resolution, 2GB memory, 120GB hard drive, 8x double-layer super drive, NVIDIA GeForce 8600M with 128RAM with the new Leopard OS. Keyboard Light sensors and many other cool and safety features. I'd KILL to HAVE THIS! MY PRECIOUSSSS!!!! Going for about Rm7.5K

With the above techs, I can gurantee you, you'd feel as tech as techie can be. IF you have like RM50,000 budget to spend lol. The lower the number the Higher my priority to get it....well sorta.

Oh if you're wondering what's number one?

Wish no. 1 for a low-budget techie like me...will have to be "Pronstar android Riko Tachibana" Seating on my lap serving drinks and feeding fruits while watching me do a Raid in the lands of Lodaeron on my new MacBook Pro thats connected to the internet via izzi's 4G plan in my Laguna thats set on cruise control.
(no decent photo of her with decent clothes on so this will have to do.)
Anyway, As a Nissan-Tan Chong employee I gotta have at least one Nissan reccommendation. Revealed in Frankfurt 2007 The Nissan Mixim is the next gen electric car concept that looks really interesting.
Won't be heading to anyone's driveway real soon, but the Nissan Mixim has enough style to be the next BatMobile and enough electrics to charge an EMP forcefield against Sentinels!! lol

REVIEW: balls OF FURY!

2007-11-20T02:30:00.000+11:00

Spoilers Alert! like it matters lol..

Known to Malaysians as one of the lowest rated comedies ever...(apparently the pontianak movies where the flying ghosts can be seen hanging on strings got higher ratings). These tiny balls of steel was what I thought was one of the funniest of its comedy-genre up there with 'Kung-Pow'. Lucky like FHM (who gave 3 out of 5), I beg to differ!

I think the two factors of which it got the lowest ratings was that

1) Malaysians are starting to become Singaporeans, dwelling only on Smart London-like sophisticated humor ie. Little Britain.

2) Censorship may have taken away some scenes of which maimed the show to a logic-less sea.

3) Maggie-Q giving her lips and leg-locks to a fat man Dan Fogler.... that lucky bugger! That makes me wanna gain weight, perm my hair and grow furry sideburns.
...ok then 3 factors.

But come on, the first time I saw the trailer, I laughed my arse off like literally. I knew at once, I had to see it. It was humor matched in Heaven.

Christopher Walken had his good shots...

but How could you do this to SHANG TSUNG!!! I mean from YOUR SOUL IS MINE to 'How do I get to the Freeway' was simply hilarious!
James Hong was hilarious! I love his Wit and blind-humor! Oh the part where he..shagged the male sex slave and had that smile on his face! Only a Koan-riddle could express such humor!

And Maggie Q...OMG thanks to her Im still loving Asians....after 2 weeks of Latino Exposure.
This sort of humor is one of which lies deeply on the Murphy's Law that 'Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong!' And those moments that the soundtrack grips your heart and transits to the next scene like they know where to go... finally gives you the "Finally a show that doesnt automatically assumes that the character knows South Africa like the palm of his hand" And I dont really know the palm of my own hand. Do you?

So anyway all you humor enthusiasts please Give Balls of Fury a Shot! I can guarantee you, your balls won't shrink 2 sizes after the movie....but maybe just a lil. Oh And Special guest from Heroes is there! SO TAKE THAT ZETA LU!!

P.S If you got time check out my other blog...thx ^.^

Countdown to the land of Chimichangas and Salsa!

2007-10-20T01:09:00.000+10:00

Only 8 more days before "the exciting adventures of Trius Travels: Goes to Mexico and Cuba!" Can't wait. OR can I. Haven't started packing yet. Heard from sources that Mexico is gonna be dangerous. So the most expensive thing I'll probably bring is my coat and camera.

Luckily, Shiva Lord of DanceKL and Bachata got some contacts in Chimichanga land and Havana. So Hopefully it will be much safer to travel around with a local. THanks SHiv!

Of course that means, I'll have to join the male belly dancing thingy. THats okay. I'll come back with a better groove lol.

THanks to Maheen of Fitness First for the physio session. Was quite afraid to go to the chiro with my condition. THanks, I'll try your workout. Yea guys I have a lowerback injury that I need to recover from though it didn't stop me from yogooding lol.

To those going to Singapore International Salsa Fest! Have fun! I'll come back even stronger! muahaha. With my lower-back healed.

What else this week? oh yea I finished my novel, into heavy editing. So stay tuned. hehe. Though I better backup.

Okay tats it..

Too much Salsa or Too much ghost stories??

2007-10-14T18:44:00.000+10:00

After that night in Salsa Havana, a day of physical exercise is very exhausting. Saturday finished at 12 in the morning. Which includes An hour of Rueda, an hour of Salsa, an hour of Gym, and a 2 hour session with Gavin at the Billiards (2 lousy games on my side..lol)

After that, My sleep took flight from 12 something till 2 in the afternoon. One significant dream caught my mind after the sleep. Usually my I don't remember my dreams, even seconds after waking up. And when it does i have to quickly write it down ..or it will be lost until it reoccurs again.

I shall tell the story as I understand the dream and with some probable reasonings of why and how it happened. Im involved as an audience of the story.

"The dream as far back as I remembered is having lunch in the Royal Lake Club. I see myself talking to my cousin Haosern and Uncle Ron. I have a laptop of which seemed to be on a facebook profile page of some girl who seems to be seated in the next table wearing a pink poncho.

After she walks away with another lady in black probably to the loo...I find myself looking into a baby's prem. Usually stories are told with words, this one is told by vision and thought...

Theres a girl who has a dog. Probably best of friends. As time goes on, the dog disappears from the scene. A small kid takes it's place. But not for long. The girl is trapped in a stage room. Guarded by a Chinese Guard in Red. The kid runs to the wall but cannot reunite with it's mother.

She is not alone in the room. There are many more like her. Dressed in patient white drapes. They seem to be pregnant. A machine pulls each baby out from their womb. (probably too much matrix). She is unconscious when they pull hers out and let it feed at her breast.

Her cellmate wakes up from a dream as a baby cries. Her cellmate's baby is on the floor must have dropped from the top bunk. But its headless with gore and blood. The other cellmates awake to find their babies dead as well.

She is the last to wake up, finding herself covered in blood, her baby is also mutilated. (like the scene in Godfather 1). Only a spirit stands beside the corridor to the next room. Tears in her eyes, She looks at me begging to tell her story.

She seems to be close to the girl. Always watched over her. When her baby was born, she was excited and went to the next room to fix the baby some food. So many ingredients on the counter. Salt and then pepper. The moment she shook the pepper, she sneezed and she found herself in another place.

There were two guards in blue and a old maiden next to a strapping bed. Apparently for feeding babies. WIth chinese cushions but seemed really cruel to the spirit. THey tell the spirit, "the baby will struggle when u try to feed it..and so we must strap it down to feed it."

She never shows wat happens after that, but the dead babies suggest that she tries to stop the three persons. But infact she never left where she was ..and her actions killed the babies in the cell. And when she came to....she saw the reckus in the cell."

Thats when I woke up. weird story huh? Things mind makes u dream while ur dead right tired.

Anyway tot of sharing it to the blog.....

Exploring the parallels of modern physics and Eastern mysticism

2007-10-06T23:39:00.000+10:00

Just borrowed a book called 'The Tao of Physics' which caught my eye on Friday as Im doing an article on one small aspect on it for my fictional novel. This book is by Fritjof Capra. His first book 'Tao of Physics' (1975) relates how eastern systems are accurately parallel to science.

This guy seems to be a real interesting theorist. Though his book was criticized by some to be accidentally coincidental. I think its something to read before putting it down. Which I will do so very soon.

So yea...updates soon teeheehee

Till the day Salsa Clubs Are like this! ^.^

2007-09-28T01:26:00.000+10:00

WHat a clip...woohoo!!! Salsa...SHines...Rueda!! Checkit out!

The sinusoidal Law of Life....

2007-09-25T19:15:00.000+10:00

Happy MoonCake FEstival 2007!

In my perception...its a really important day. First and foremost, thank you Brenda for helping me empty my stress bar last night. You're such a darling.

Today, things made a full turn around.. as if the moon opened her eyes and shone clarity into our minds. The Full moon brings change no matter the linage. But it is always for the better.

This morning, my uncle passed away. He was in the bank when he complained of a dizzy spell. The bank called my aunt. By the time she got there, my uncle had passed away. He was 59(if im not mistaken).

Meanwhile, I was in my office, when Terence Chong, my colleague from another dept. came to me to offer me some advice about working life, as I was down from my recent appraisal performance.

He said "Bruce!"...yea this guy calls me Bruce. "Bruce, one thing you gotta do is to get to know the people in the plant office more. Spend your time mingling with us there maybe half an hour or an hour a day. Mark my words, in a month's time, you will be in a much better shape then where you are now!"

My Head of Dept. Called me in. He said, "You see, I sent your appraisal to my boss, and he said that my marking was too harsh. He said it maybe a bit discouraging to you as a first job. Now I have no intention of discouraging you, And I have been quite honest to you. I said you have room for improvement. But he seems to feel that this may scare you off."

"From my perspective, what I gave you is true. ANd through this you can see where you lack and then you can improve at it. But I dunno, (my company) has this thing of doing things to please the boss, which I believe is wrong. In fact we should be frank in order to progress."

"Now do you know what HR calls playing sports together as team building? Which I think is wrong. Team building should be getting ppl's trust. Two ppl seat infront of each other and say out straight what i dont like about the other person. That is team building."

"Now what you did that day (referring to the suggestive memo to a manager) in (my company) was perceived as bad here. But In other companies...ITs GOOD!! Its Team building!. I think the culture here is .... "

Pretty much went on and on about how he single handedly troubleshooted the entire plant when all the other engineers went home. And pretty much asked me how I felt about the appraisal.

I felt that his justification was for the benefit of our skills as young workers. So I was pretty much happy that he was honest about it. Sigh, 3 years to learn 10 years of experience. How will I achieve a feat like that for the Dark Lord?

It was after this that I heard about my uncle. He leaves a wife, 4 children and a grandchild.

My condolences to Aunt Shyan and family. If you need us, we'll be here.

So, Uncle Freddie, let the world's Chinese community light a Candle for your departure and show you the way to where you need to be.

Happy Mid-autumn Festival everybody subtle as it may seem.

Oooo...New Discovery!!! Los Van Van!

2007-09-17T01:54:00.000+10:00

Yay now I know two bands that play nice salsa Songs....Sonora Carruseles and Los Van Van!!

First one is really like Heavy Salsa...pure sweat and salsa piano..Which Ive grown fond to. Since I cant do much variation of partner work...I can freestyle on shines lol...

But theres this other one, Los Van Van! Its not very heavy, in fact its quite laid back compared with SC...from my opinion. But the music. Oooo...you can still feel the music in your veins. Ur body feels smooth sailing in the rhythm...so nice....sigh... hehhe check it out

How would you spend a perfect Sunday Morning....

2007-09-13T01:54:00.000+10:00

What do you do on Sundays? Sleep till the afternoon...laze around go for tea, dinner...hang out at the Shopping arcade and then back home on the comp and then procrastinate before heading to bed?

How about picturing a perfect Sunday....

You wake up to the morning breeze that moves your white curtains flapping in with the wind. In front of you is a set meal of a half-boiled egg, an omelette, strips of bacon, a glass of milk and an orange juice. Just the perfect breakfast in bed.

Finishing your breakfast, you head into your lavatory and wash up. Put on your jogging pants and top, a fresh pair of socks and your runners. After a couple of stretches, you walk out of your house and onto the path in front of you. Its 9 o'clock in the morning and the morning air is still fresh with the scent of morning dew.

You begin to head onto the jogging path and make your way around the first bend. Luscious trees that flank both sides of the path gives a nice sense of closeness to nature. In the far right corner you can just make out the golf course of which is about a kilometer or two away from your home.

Not long after you reach the club house. You head to the changing room and freshen up. Walking out of the room, some club dogs walk close to greet you. You crouch and give the dogs a good rub.

Its 10 O'clock. You head to the clubhouse to grab a cup of hot choco. Some frequent patrons greet you and make small talk while waiting for a friend to head into the green.

Your cup is empty. You begin to walk back to the path. You brandish your sunglasses considering the morning sun just set in. Your ipod on your arm plays your favorite tune. Jogging back mind rested, the empty blue sky greets you with a fantastic draft of fresh wind as you head back to your home after the perfect Sunday morning jog....

Hello again! It's time for your dental Check-up

2007-09-02T03:05:00.000+10:00

Ever gone to the dentist, and 6 months after a gruesome experience...they send a postcard with bunnies in it entitled 'Hello again! It's time for your dental checkup!'?

SAMPLE: Mom stole my camera...so substitute with Elmo for now....

Three things freak me out....1) Heights... 2) hot chicks that make my heart skip 3) and going to the dentist. Give me a tall hot dentist chick and I'd have a heart attack/breakdown.

Anyway I got this postcard 2 months ago apparently....dunnno how did it manage to hide itself and then be revealed out in the open two months after.

Luckily i'd just be freaked out once..cause my dentist is neither a chick nor does he work in a tall building.

I never had a good experience with the dentists. If it were a Fear Factor Challenge to visit the dentist and let them play with the laughing gas...I'd lose. My first experience was with a lady dentist who was to pull out my two front teeth.

It was the most gruesome and painful ordeal ever. I had to suck on the red liquid thingy from morning to night before the bleeding finally stop. From then on I only relied on dental floss, strings, doors and my brother's knee to get my milk teeth out.

I so wish it would be the last of the dentist I had to deal with. Then this final miserable milk tooth had to come and spoil everything. Because of that tooth, my whole set were rearranged and crooked. ANd so I had to go for braces.

My dentist uncle in Ausy recommended this guy in Taman Sea, who was said to be the next best thing in workmanship after my uncle. Or so he claims....(ok ok its true.its true...sorry uncle Ang Sam hehe). Anywho, This guy happens to be a very cross person. The nurses ...are so well treated..I just wonder how high is the Clinic's turnover.

But though he is loud. He did a good job. Despite having to experience four teeth ripped out of their sockets.....What a horrible experience...especially if you've not eaten anything before that.

And now so many years later, they've been sending cards for 6 month interval checkups. Hopefully I dont get scolding for setting an appointment like 2 months after. Knees are shaking inside my trousers. Wah ..just how many more dentists will I have to deal with?

BTW thats the picture of the postcard I got. Just that the caption is different.

New York Style Salsa On2!!!

2007-08-15T20:03:00.000+10:00

*Picture from www.art.com- Noche de Salsa

I just realized that after months of starting to get into this dance...I never really blogged about it. I first started 'On2' in March 2007 after coming back from my Penang/London/Michigan trip.

As a matter a fact, in January when I got back, I was cracking my brains on where I should start looking of a school. Then one fateful night, while hitching a ride to a mamak..I heard my friend's car radio playing some salsa music. I immediately recognized it and we started talking salsa ever since.

Sandesh, my acquaintance since high school said that he was learning salsa from this guy called Gavin in Dance Space. I immediately recalled the name as my ex-kungfu-mate! (Gavin, my bro and I go way back since I was like form 1).

Anywho, after some reunion sessions, I decided to join Gav after I got back from my trip every Monday night.

Just four lessons down the road, my life came to a messy corner, everything was turning bad, job, luck, love, computer...sigh...on the other hand my mom was so happy that she was going to retire soon. I didnt want to vent my frustrations.. So who do I turn to..?

Somehow, salsa kept me looking forward..new moves and all, Gavin invited me to the salsa clubs to practice my moves...introed me to the scene and Ive been dancing ever since...

And so must U! hehehe ...heres a lil tutorial...

IMPORTANT A
=============

1) Salsa music has eight uniform beats...1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...but we use 1-3,5-7
So its 1,2,3 pause 5,6,7 pause and back to 1.

2) Basics...
For Girls and guys doing shines steps

forward with ur right on 1
forward left on2 and
replace your right foot back to the same spot on 3

Then back with ur Left on 5
Back right on 6 and
replace your left on 7

During partner work, Guys will mirror the girls.

3) New York style is danced in slots, or linearly so if u start vertically no matter wat you do..u should keep it vertically. And not end up ie. diagonally or crossed in the end.

4) Girls...U own the line.( hurray...=.=)....so if the guy wants you to move to the other side...he has to make way.

5) Handholds...guys will stick 2 fingers pointing down...like a torch handle...and girls, like the Statue of Liberty holding a torch...thats how u should hold.

IMPORTANT B
=============

1) For starters, Girls! (or Mu-heres) if u've never danced salsa before or any other dance...its easy..since you are not leading....theres only several things you need to know

a) Crossbody,
b) Right turn
c) Left turn
d) And Most importantly UR BASICS!

Everything else is just variation or additions to this items.

A) Crossbody
..u know your basics...so crossbody..is the same only thing is that you end up facing the other side in the end. So its a
1 RIght forward
2 left forward
3 Instead of replacing ur right back...step another step forward and twist 180*
5 , 6 ,7 is a back basic.

B) Right turn

...starts on the 1st Count...so the signal will be given on the previous 3 counts with a tension on ur connected right arm.
1 pivot on ur right foot 360* or as much as u can on one count
2,3 is a step step on the spot..
567 back basic.

C) Left Turn..
1 forward right
2 Forward left ..but put ur weight on it cause u wanna push off that foot on the next count.
3 push off and spin anti-clockwise..with ur right foot on the ground.
567 on the spot.

And there you have it...Girls u know enuf..to survive on the floor..guys...if u wanna learn to lead..go learn from Gavin! hehe

Sweet! so See you on the dance floor! muahaha!

To those who feel in distressed or in hard times...including myself...

2007-08-11T16:56:00.000+10:00

The following is a passage from a A3 sized poster on the back of my office wall that i never really took notice. But as God(to those who believe) is such a life teaser... things tend to present itself when u need it most. And so here it is...

" Here is a quote from Mencius, one that I think is very relevant in these hard times..

'Heaven, when it is about to place a great burden on a man, always first tests his resolution, exhausts his frame and makes him suffer starvation and hardship, frustrates his efforts so as to shake him from his mental lassitude, toughen his nature, and make good his deficiencies.

Confucianism. Mencius VI.B.15

Only then do we realize that anxiety and distress lead to life and that ease and comfort end in death."

Don't really get the meaning in the end part... i guess what it says is... suffering IS the learn process. Only through struggling can we perfect ourselves for it is tat process that we learn who we are and what we are capable of in times of need.

Hmm... no wonder...the immortals in Highlander series scream in agony while they try fitting the other guy's soul into his own. May it pay off soon....

Fortunes of Jumpin July -Tribute to Bobby the Banglasalero!

2007-07-30T01:34:00.000+10:00

Ever felt out of place in life? Then one day, you finally found something that really just clicks into your heart...something different that you find its the only thing you love in this whole entire existence. Never have you done anything else that you felt urself...enjoying. Then one day..have it ripped from you...forever. You are deprived from it..probably doomed to stay far away without excess to what you love most?

Salsero Bobby... the most dedicated salsa student in my class...he can like remember all the patterns and shines lesson by lesson....step by step... Hates doing everything else...just salsa...Last week he was asked to resign. With this he has to head back....away from what he loves doing most.... The last time i saw him...he had smoked the whole day...drank the whole night..still not believing what had just happen.

Yea his conduct may have caused him to be dumped by the company...but its a sad tale. "I know exactly how you feel Bobby my man!" Your body goes to shock...stunned at the beginning. You think the worst is over when suddenly reality hits ur heart so bad...u just cant stand the truth...

JULY has been INDEED a month of Ups and downs..for me and most of my pals i am close with. Some got their finals to do ... some had so busy weekends (including myself) till it became physically and mentally taxing...(pulled my muscle). My cousin's mended broken tooth ...came off today.

Just a few minutes ago (1135pm) a father of an employee under me (for practical) called me in the middle of the night to inform me that he would not be able to come to work for about 2 days because their relative was in serious comatose condition and they needed to go up and see him/her immediately.

sigh..2007 you are so bittersweet...you make window shopping so difficult to resist. Im very soon going to walk in and grab one for myself.

POWER OF THE SECRET!

2007-07-20T01:21:00.000+10:00

Hehe the new best seller Self-help book 'The Secret' has recently become a 2-hour dvd filled with loads of explanation regarding the 'Law of attraction' which it is build by.

My father's friend made my dad sit and watch it the whole evening.

But then I came across a clip that Chaser's made not too long ago! on the secret...check it out!

hehehe... if it does work ...i wouldnt mind trying it out...to get Megan Fox or Marion Caunter...mmmm hahahahaha...or probably....heheh its a secret kekeke....ASk for her...believe she's already urs...and then receive hahahaha

zzziao...chii chuu chuu choo this Movie will Transform your mind!

2007-07-11T23:27:00.000+10:00

Since the beginning of time...there was Transformers..probably even before Transsexuals existed. (Haha imagine....BuckaBOT! TRANSFORM!! (sfx) whirling and screaming(sfx) to.. Bitchslappacon!) huh ...'more than meets the eye' indeed!

ANyway this is like one of the first cartoons apart from Mickey Mouse and Friends that I enjoy watching....and the first that my brother introduced to me.

It was awesome! cars changing into robots and back.. oversized robots turning into normal sized cassette players...and now..more than 20 years later....its back! COOLER THAN EVER>>.

Who would ever thought....this!

would turn out to be like this!! (though I was always wishing).

And Megan Fox ....oooo goodness....anyone would transform to be with her...lol...

I LOVE YOUR EYES!

..............K meanwhile back on Cybertron! hehe

WHat I like about the movie is that..it not only depicts the transformation of the robots...something like voltron or one of those KamenRider Henshins! but it depicts also the "clumsy side of being a huge robot...something not really spoken off in the comics or movies". And what is easy to notice is how ..they are depicted as hermit crabs...even their original form ..is like a shell...that changes in to a humanoid running for cover.

(Optimus is one that found a F&N can for a shell) Though there were abit of changes from the original plot...but then again....all the seasons have their own optimuses and plots.

So SO Good Job Micheal BAY! nice to hear you again Optimus Prime...and hello gorgeous Megan Fox...hope to hear Optimus as the new Preview guy! Till next time! TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT! CHII CHUU CHUU! neh Neh NEH neh neh NEH!

7 Predictions

2007-07-07T16:34:00.001+10:00

Okay its after 12pm...so its okay...the 77th post has survived its day as the latest post for the date 7/7/7. So its time for some Juzzy's 7 Predictions! YAY!

so how does this work? Every point of my life I start seeing things that make more and more sense and so I "listen" for clues of how the future will be according to what events try to tell me. Speculations etc. Like a thickening plot...only thing we try and figure out what the author is planning before he actually tells the story.

Why is it predictable? because it is us...and our characters will make the choice. A dog who loves playing near the drain will one day fall in for example.

SO here goes...

Prediction one: Land banking or investment in Sungai petani will be a sure bet.
Why? I know about four ppl who are related to the area. And I dont know that many..whhat are the odds of that?

Prediction 2: Maintenance is going to be very important in the Market...for Malaysia

Prediction 3: If you start a toxic waste disposal company or one that recycles washable items that is acredited by DOE...its good market!

Prediction 4: If I dont have a partner or team to back me up...what ever I do will surely not succeed...

Prediction 5: Movie Mamak will be an awesome wave....

Prediction 6: Opportunity will always tease me ....even up to the last moment and pull out a second before the pinnacle.

Prediction 7: Just before I die ..and live this world...I would have realized that I loved.. chocolate or some girl I had crush or not done something I suddenly enjoy with way back when I was younger..and regretted not making a move...earlier...

What I saw in Salsa 101

2007-06-29T02:04:00.000+10:00

Last Saturday, In Hilton...SALSA 101 Raged on from about 545 pm to 3 in the morning...
THe music was salsa! the atm was salsa...salsaroos and salseras on the dance floor...GAVIN and Sally were fantastic on the floor...Amanda's rueda group was spectacular...Shazli's cousin won the competition....everything was well.

Apparently my high school senior, Yen was there.....and while standing next to him...this girl...that blew my mine....sat on the stage....

This lady in blue....so hot...i just froze...okay..thats really....wierd but it happened. After awhile she climbed onto the stage with her [V] microphone in her right hand and walked and stood on my right.....I couldnt move....I wanted to intro myself...but it was one woman..that I could not get close to no matter what..

I whispered to Yen....Dude "That Vj looks like Maya Karin..though i dont know names"

I was so close and yet i just couldnt find an eye contact to start a convo. ANd when I tried to approach her..she started speaking to the camera man....Im like..ok i give up....

Who is this new girl that i newly discovered?

None other than the gorgeous...

VJ Marion Caunter....oh gosh...im in lust! wohoo! how come all the hot chicks come from penang? Penangites make up and roll out to KL....we KayelLians need some luvin!

Reunion with Wen Hao the Skygazer

2007-06-28T02:13:00.000+10:00

It has been along time since I met up with my high school friend Wen Hao. He was my first friend in High school whom I sat next to. And now we're all grown up.. its good to still be in touch.

He has been working in the outskirts of Melbourne for the past year earning enough to be a Shopping King in Malaysia. (Bought a 500 buck CK sweater for 120 bucks! lucky bugger). Anyway, from him i found out how the ppl left in Melbourne are doing.

It seems tat everyone is getting ahead in life one way or another. Its good ...feels good to be in the presence of future "Princes and Princesses of the World".

Sometimes I envy those who get so ahead in life, its not funny. But I guess thats the story of their life. THey get the high rolling bucks with a flick of the tongue...where else the rest of us have to either open our legs or get so tied up in work and life that you can hardly do anything else without bulges in your eyes.

But again...its good to see young ppl about to be successful. Soon...buddies...we shall rule the world! Too bad Apek(YUnn Horng) couldnt make it...Oh well...another time then!

The name's b-Ong, Just b-Ong...Tarik not stirred

2007-06-11T20:29:00.000+10:00

As most of u realised by checking out the papers...Malaysia is filled with dance programs in the month of June. You have the Dance Space's 1st KL International Dance Festival from the 4-9th

U got the UVNation crazy party where everyone is ecstasy-filled-shuffling and wearing nipple-hiding-wears that glow in the dark...(why did i miss such an opportunity to go for a Gala Dinner instead).

But apart from these one off events ...(including the Jazz fest in Genting). .This month is filled with SALSA!!! FIrst week salsa second week salsa...third week salsa...fourth week also Salsa...

First week salsa was in TimesSquare...Second week...salsa will be in Bossa Nova..Salsa Social ON2..Third week is SALSA 101 in Hilton KL Sentral! And sometime after that...SALSA Congress in PORT DICKson!!!

Everyday is Salsa!! so have fun ppl...

Weird thing happened yesterday..psychic or schizophrenic ?

2007-06-09T16:36:00.001+10:00

Do you sometimes find yourself in a daydream out of a sudden...as if you suddenly spaced out...thinking of something you never thought you would be thinking. And a moment later something related happens? Or sometimes you just realise that its the right thing to do at this point of time...and you do it...and it turns out just right? Or u hear someone call your name and go to the person...and he says he thought YOU called the person?

I dunno...something wierd is going on...this world may not be what it seems.

CaSe one: I was with my executive when I heard him call my name...when i looked around he was looking at me...as if wanting to speak to me...but when I got to him...he asked why I called him....weird.

Case two: Awhile after ... back in the office...while I was doing work..I suddenly found myself thinking of the phone ringing from this particular fabricator. A moment later, my phone started ringing with this guy at the other line.

Case three: My dad went to the lavatory while i waited for him infront of the lift as we were headed downstairs. Seeing that the lift was two floors down and not moving...i suddenly had the urge to press the call button...and when I did...the lift reached at the right time of when my dad came back from the lavatory.

Wall of wierd....

June's Monologue: Reality Check!

2007-06-06T19:11:00.000+10:00

Dear Trius,

Its been awhile since I addressed an entry to you. So What have I learnt so far?
Well many things Trius. I've learnt that the only difference between working and studying is the flow of cash. You get paid for learning and you pay to learn. Everything else is the same. You need qualification or an interview sometimes to get in. If you have a scholarship...well thats like a contract...of which you have to pay back in another means or so. Difference is to work, you pay back on the spot with your time.

What else? That the salsa scene seldom have people below the age of 23. The bars and clubs for example...no one is below 23. So if you're looking the younger crowd...sorry wrong place.

Rueda is kinda fun. Rueda means wheel in Spanish...at least thats what they said. And Casino is what they call salsa in Cuba, Hence Rueda de casino...which i think would be like Roulette. It comprises of 2 or more couples making it a group dance. And most of the time its ALL about changing partners. So if you wanna have an affair(or more) without sinning, this is the perfect way to do it.

Qigong is great if you know how to relax. un like some ppl who dont..we usually act as if we are moving with the chi....dancing, shaking, doing the golf swing.

Today my boss thought me..."Sharing is Immortality". The knowledge that we pass will live longer than we will ever live. THat is how ppl live forever, prophet or not.

One of the most important lesson of all....You have to fight to get what you want.
To insist is to fight for your right. For that is how things work in the world. Not everyone is a Samaritan.

good evening Trius...

Aku cinta padamu...Trinity!

2007-05-31T02:06:00.000+10:00

Yay 3 months into my job I finally get my own personal assistant! Thats right, a hot PA to follow me everywhere I go! I call her Trinity cause her name is ...pretty long and winded looks like a serial number XD.

And Woo! She's hot! Shadow hot! She so fine..I check her out every minute I can. She's maybe a lil bad with directions, but thats okay...arent they all XD. She does finances, handles my phone...and messages though she dug up some private messages i didnt delete XP. But thats okay, she understands.

Only thing is...I haven't figured her out completely yet. I guess I'll have to go through some documents with her first.

Today I took her out for the first time to Menara Perkeso. She was a lil unsteady but got us there eventually. But coming back she almost made me do a U turn for no reason.

I'm glad I got her. She maybe a bit blur at times. But once I get used to her I know she'll help me in so many ways. I think I'll bring her out for salsa this Friday too!

Oh this is a picture of me holding her hot bod hehehe woohhoo!! she's battery HOT!!

3.5G, GPS enabled, wifi, bluetooth...all the toys Ive been missing out for so many years. Oh trinity! The way you say "Turn right at the next intersection in 300 meters" is so..cute ^^.

hahah Spoken like a true geek ...woohOo! Geekylove!

GIRLY MAN, MAN, MAN, MAN...

Seeds of Past, Present and Future

2007-05-27T12:01:00.000+10:00

Nearly a month ago, I got a plant and two seeds from my Godfather and Godbrother. I sowed the two seeds on the end of my first day as a 23 year old. It is like how Red indians sow tree-seeds on the birth of their child which represents the child. Or how kids in Western China are bonded with their personal horse at a very tender age so they will grow acustom to each other.

I represented my three pots as the past, the present and the future....The Three states of time of which represents who we were, who we are, and who we strife to be.

As of yesterday, this is wat it looks like...

Out of the two seeds that I sowed....only one grew to what it looks like. The other germinated but did not do as well as the first. What could this mean? Missing something in life? Past present and future....in a row...Cool huh? even a collection of plants that you care for can give hints to your destiny....certainly better than keeping a Toyol hahaha...

Reminds me of my pet bats of yesteryears....

LOOK MOMMY! IM IN THE NEWS!!!

2007-05-24T00:36:00.000+10:00

After liberating so many problems,DMT is disheartened to see many more...

2007-05-22T19:17:00.000+10:00

For all the things I've done for all the employees in the company, for all the times I put my head on the line for them, they push all their faults and blames back to me. I feel disheartened that they would have the heart to do this.

I've never asked them for anything in return, but a smile on their face. And they back stab me with a Corrective Action Request. (If u avid readers remember I issued a Department a Car about a month or two ago.)

At the eve of SIRIM's advance, they come back to me with this C.A.R...

Non-conformance reads "No evidence shows that the Internal Auditor Justin Ong Yu Yi have attended Internal Quality Audit Training and/or are a qualified auditor. He have conducted Internal Audit and issued C.A.R on 6/4/07"

My manager writes back In corrective action:"We will send Justin Ong Yu Yi to attend the Internal Quality Audit Training to qualify as auditor. From now on CAR will be issued by TKF on behalf of Main. Dept."

Followup detail reads "1. Justin in future will not be the auditor for calibration material (handled by TKF certified auditor)" .

This will not do..not in our company. Seriously must not practice last minute syit like this. Bad english and insults my name as well. I give my time to help my managers do things, and this is what happens. I feel like my head is cracking into 3 pieces. What is the meaning of this year? Im losing my mind, lost my heart....and im losing my soul...

I feel disheartened..I thought I could live this self-sacrificing life ...but the more I experience, the more I lose my focus...of why I started in the first place. Im going no where...the world is telling me that if I become a cold-hearted jerk, I would have better luck with everything else....I'm at the brink of believing it...I dunno wat to do...I'm on my knees, my soul curling up inside...again....

May's Monologue

2007-05-21T19:34:00.000+10:00

Feels good to be a hero today. Went to work slightly late, not too late. Wasn't 7.45. Morning meeting wasn't on yet. Why I said it felt good to be a hero today? Cause I was....sorta.

See My Dept Head, was going to have a meeting today at 2pm...some Management Review he had to present. And its his first time and not seen the slides before. At 830am my manager calls me up and says..."I havent prepared anything for the DH, I need your help to update a presentation,".

Im like "okay". You see where Im headed? It was a 20 page presentation I had to prepare for my DH before 2 pm. Now usually, he would give like few days before hand. But he was sick on Friday. And saw that the meeting was today...after the morning meeting. EXACTLY!!

I didn't finish till 30mins before his presentation. Had to double check and go through with him. My manager helped. After the slobbing I realized that I did not have morning tea or lunch. I was so tired and hungry, but it felt good. So small a thing, I felt that I didn't let my manager down even though it was his fault. I felt like a true Executor. Thats a fancy name for an executive who just got slaved around.

I think my dad was trying to cheer me up when he sent me this joke. It goes like this

THE BOSS

>Who's in Charge?   All the organs of the body
were having a meeting,
trying

Yea i feel much better now....-.-

Spenderman! Spenderman not wearing any underwear...

2007-05-19T23:48:00.000+10:00

Throw his briefs, everywhere!
So obscene, Hard to stare!
Lookout! here comes the Spenderman!!

W00t!! One thing I like about marvel comics especially Spiderman...u learn morality and how one with so much potential living on a shoestring solves life problems just like everyone else.

"Ben Parker: You've been given a gift Peter, with great power, comes great responsibility. " From the first.

"May Parker: We need a hero, couragous sacrificing people, setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero, people line up for 'em, cheer for them, scream their names, and years later tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who told them to HOLD ON a second longer. I believe theres a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble. And finally gets us to die with pride. Even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want most, even our dreams. " Lesson of the Second.

"Whatever comes our way, whatever battle we have raging inside us, we always have a choice, my friend harry taught me that. He chose to be the best of himself. It's the choices that make us who we are, and we can always choose to do what's right. " The moral lesson of the Third!

I tot the fight scene was great...any longer and it would be draggy,...who said it was too short? I tot it was a good ending. U die with vengence....you live with forgiveness, and immortalized with sacrifice.

The storyline between PP and MJ seems a lil too familiar though...T.T well i'm glad they'll finish great in the end...

The diabolical Snake.....

Foo! Again he tries to run from responsibility. Mr. N comes to the scene of investigation. Riveter machine has a problem. The riveter machine is connected to two riveter guns. But when button is pressed, both guns move. First check says that its a fault of the solenoid, hence electrical.

Initially my Senior manager was told of the problem. then my manager had to tell my supervisor that a breakdown occurred. Which is wrong. It should be the other way around. Either way I got to know last. So I brought with me a charge man to the scene to see the issue.

The electrical supervisors and execs were attending to another breakdown in the Electric deposition area. So I stood in for the electricals.

Being there, they tested out the operation and so displayed the problem. Soon after the Electrical Exec. Mr.N arrives and sees the issue. After just 2 minutes of looking around, he turns to me and says "Boss! This is not electrical's issue!"

"Show me!" I demanded. He asked Hanif his electrical fitter to show me. After another round. I noticed a dissimilarity. It was one of the coils that was different. I discussed with my mechanical fitter and decided that it could be that. (Coil is electrical btw).

Not being able to stand it anymore, "CHange the coil!" I ordered. It had to be judging by the sound of the coil, it had to be. THey changed it and rewired it. They wired it opposite at first but fix the issue the second time.

Only problem left is when the first gun finishes its operation, the other gun gets abit of the back wash.

Enough of technical terms, the main lesson is, I can no longer depend on giving this guy kindness anymore else he will climb over my subordinates head. If he ever says anything about delegating work to any of my execs, and says its actually mechanical's job I'll say..."As far as Im concerned, there is no longer a line between mechanical and electrical there is only maintenance!

Look at me...im saying this like its a matter of life and death. The ranting stops here.... lol

Ever wondered why...

2007-05-17T20:18:00.000+10:00

1) Rich ugly guys get the best luck(all kinds of luck)?
2) theres always a better guy in the crowd...?
3) Your goal is always the hardest to achieve?
4) your position is chess always looks more vulnerable than your opponents?
5) your million dollar idea has already been done and exploited before you even moved a muscle?
6) The ones you want are always not local or heading overseas, or taken, or different religious believes, or think you're not man enough to be with or all of the above ?
7) Overseas has got better weathers than your own homeland?
8) The company you work in has the most screwed up management systems compared to everywhere else?
9) Everyone else has a better view in life than you do?
10) Your neighbor's garden is greener than your own?

Haha maybe im just being self conscious...

Temple of Wisdom and Clarity...

2007-05-15T00:40:00.000+10:00

Went to LDC yesterday, to do some good...eversince the incident the the realization of how close I was to death, I decided to pay my uncle's temple hangout a visit....and also to check out some chicks....hahaha ok not a good joke...

nehway...being there opened my eyes to what I have been so tied up with these few months. The centre has this Buddhist teachings for kids where a Geshe (scholar/equivalent to a masters in academic terms) teaches about the elements of buddhism at a very basic and easy to understand level.

Yesterday they were talking about the second of the Seven limbs of Buddhism. Which I believe each limb are like essential exercises to being a more open buddhist.

The first limb is about Prostration. Not sure if I spell it right. But It was a really thorough explanation about it. But in a nut shell, the act of putting your palms together to pray is not exactly practiced in Tibetan Buddhism. Why?

For this reason we go back to why we put our palms together. It is a sign of respect and offering of respect from our hearts. Unfortunately if we put our palms together, there is nothing in between the palms. And it is considered not good to offer well..nothing. WIth this by sticking our thumbs in between which makes it look like a cup with something in it ...it is a symbol of which you are offering a vessel with something in it. It also becomes a shape of a jewel in which symbolizes the 3 jewels that Buddhist seek refuge in....which is the Buddha, The Dharma and the Sangha.

THe prostration begins by placing your newly formed jewel palms ontop of your head, symbolizing the crown of buddha which is our ultimate goal..which is to attain full enlightenment. Next is putting your hands to your forehead symbolizing clarity of mind and the refuge to the dharma or universal knowledge. Then bring your hands to your throat ...of which symbolizes the Sangha who are the teachers who speak out and tells the world of the dharma to follow....and finally end it at your chest level.

The long prostration...you have to lie on the floor face down.. then back up and start all over again 3 times.

Thats for prostration.

Yesterday was on offerings....Offerings no matter how big or small will only work when it is given with a sincere heart. AS long as you have a sincere heart of offering it to the Lords or anyone for that matter does it make it even more meaningful. So why are offerings made as beautiful as possible especially to the Buddhas? Because when we make offerings it is as if we are treating them as offerings to the kings all though the Buddhas are of higher ranks than kings themselves.

So how did this Seven Offerings come about? In Buddha Shakyamuni's time, it was how The Kings were received. First with a welcome drink, then basin of water to purify the feet, then incense of sandalwood to purify the halls, then flower offerings, then perfume offerings, food and finally music and entertainment. SO similarily we offer a bowl of water, then another bowl of water, a flower, offerings of incense, a bowl of perfume, food and then a seashell perhaps to symbolize music. It can actually be anything as long as it can symbolize it.

So wats the difference between the offerings to kings and to the Buddhas? Blessings...and with that when we make offerings we say out the syllables "Om Ah Hum". Very powerful syllables that are programmed into us even from birth. Om blesses and purifies the offering, Ah turns them into sweet nectar that increases its value, and Hum amplifies it many folds.

I can keep going but u'd not read it in the end so ..i'll stop here....till next lesson....see yas..

2007-05-13T01:52:00.000+10:00

I don't have much time left do I?

Its good to be alive today! I thank all my merits I'm not a Charred person today blogging. Let me rewind to May 11 2007 9.50 am.

Walking into my Gen2. Just called Cucumber to meet me beside the road. Directly outside the DATARAN Carpark, 1U. I start my car and drive off to the exit. Its difficult to navigate in the car park with so many confusing arrows to the 'Keluar'. Pass the slot roads to the exit, I suddenly hear loud sounds from my undercarriage, plus some 'motion master' effects.

(Pylon was not there)
several feet away I stop my car and realized I drove over something. I stepped out of the car to inspect the damage. Petrol drained like a hose!. "Tutup engine!" (close engine would be the direct translation) said a guard. I quickly did.

My dad and his friends came to collect the car later that afternoon. My uncle saw the protruding bolts that ripped the petrol tank from under the car and said that I was lucky there was no spark. Else I would have been fried from the inside.

For the entire day I was totally blur. What a day to almost get killed. In fact, I have no idea why I did not ignite. It was a hot day, and Im sure some of the wires there would have sparked something. Maybe I had a protection from someone.

(All I want for XMas is my Bumper Front grill...)

On a lighter note, Genting was good, Had a good 9 course meal at the Ming Ren Restaurant in Hotel Genting. Good food, good afternoon company, Next was good, not so straight evening company. Won 10 bucks from roulette and a late night.

The organizer Ms. Elaine help set up the stuff. Really good of her. THanks Elaine!

Friday is Genting DAY YAY!!

2007-05-07T00:09:00.000+10:00

Hey ppl! What a Great month this month of May! Its the month after the month I was born!! wahaha jk jk but true. anywho! Lots have happen and Im really looking forward to this Friday.

Last Friday Gavin invited me and my class plus his other classes to a salsa meet up in Bossa Nova, ParkRoyal. It was fantastic. We all gotta chance to try out what we know. Absolutely fantastic. We danced till 12 though we should have till 11. Great success! I congratulated Gavin for finally realizing it after a year and sped home to sleep. ... Cuz I had to go to work the next day. No pictures obtained so far...sigh..oh well!

This Friday is different though. About a month or two back, I won a lunch at the Ming Ren in Genting's First World building scheduled for this Friday....

So got a lunch for 2, a room for 2 and a show 'FLY' for 2....since I have no partner to go with me...I've called my gang to see if their interested. We'll see wat happens... ke ke ke.

Till This Friday Then! Muahaha!

A Good Friend Gave me a very important advice...

2007-05-05T02:50:00.000+10:00

Again... the Executives manipulated the bosses to assign even more jobs to me. What can I say? I can't say no can I?

Then a new 30 year old engineer started climbing on my head seeing that Im very much obliging to everyone.

After work, my colleague pulled me to one side and said this.

"Justin, I cakap sama you, I memang benci orang yang arahkan orang buat kerja yang bukan bukan. Kalau dia nak ambil project tu, dia yang kena buat benda yang sepatutnya. You jangan kasi dia suruh you buat kerja.

Saya tahu, you angkat banyak-banyak sebab nak belajar. Tetapi jangan sampai melepaskan bola sendiri. You ada banyak responsibility, DOE JKKP ISO..so you jangan pergi jaga tepi kain orang lain. Kalau tidak mereka akan selalu suruh u buat benda.

Justin I cakap sama you, sebenarnya I orang yang cinta bangsa diri, tetapi bila I kena tolong kawan cina, I akan tolong, itu style saya. .."

(Justin, let me tell you, I really hate guys that tell ppl to do their work. If he wants to take up the project, he should work with the details, dont let him tell you to do his job.

I know you take in alot cause you want to learn. But dont do it until you drop your own balls. You've got loads of responsibilities, DOE, JKKP, ISO, don't look after everyone else. Or else they will always make you do work.

Justin, Let me tell you, I am actually pro-to my race, But when I have to help my chinese friend, I will help, thats my style..)

This is the second person that says I'm too soft. First one is Muse, the Dark Lord. Im in a dilemma. I want to learn as much as I can. But I don't want to go outside my scope and do bad in my own work. It is my agenda to learn aw much as possible. Perhaps I have to learn to be firm as well.

At the moment, I can still handle it, cause I plan out my work and what I do everyday. But will that be enough?

... in a lighter note, Thank you everyone for all your wishes on Friendster, MSN, SMSes, and Calls! Really appreciate it! As well as a Package that arrived on my Dad's Birthday. You should have seen how disappointed he looked when he saw that it wasn't for him. It was a wonderful present ....but I ain't sharing it with the world muahahaha! THANK YOU PPL!! HUGS AND KISSES(only to the girls this one)/HIGH FIVES (to the guys).

When for a Salsa Social yesterday...fuu....will feel it soon...go to work first...bye bye!

PM calling for new Malaysian super hero....=.=

2007-05-02T00:37:00.000+10:00

Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi: 'Maintenance is very important. I have said this many times but these people, as long as nothing happens, they don't care.'

Oh dear god! Don't u dare tell me thats my Calling. Yes its true, I always wanted to be a superhero. But ...but not like this! I can hear it now...

The electronic keyboard playing in the back to the tune of the 1984 movie 'Ghostbusters' (oh god its even the year i was born). Bass sfx: Do do do do DO DO dodododo DO Do....

"Something breaks...in ur neighbourhood....who do u call? Man-Tenance!!
Some pipe leaks...in ur master bed room.... who do u call? Man-Tenance!!
(elec guitar sfx: tiou niao tiao niao tiao niao niao niao...)

These guys come in their maintenance car...and their Man-tenance uniform...(O em Gee! same colored uniforms with spot wielding gun power packs strapped on their back.) Nooo ... I'd rather be wearing a Spiderman spandex than..to be part of the PM's Preventive Maintenance scheme...

The only thing missing now is a fireman pole and a green ghost called 'Slimer'. Sigh...I guess heros in this world aren't as glamorous like in the comics..

Last days of year 22...

2007-04-29T02:01:00.000+10:00

Dear Juzzy,

Finally, its the Eve of officially being a year older. Sigh, looking back I look to see what I have achieved so far, and find an array of rojak stuffs both good and bad. What a year it has been.

And still at this final day, I still think theres still more I need to work on. This two days (since Friday), I have set a pre-scheduled solo Bday campaign to explore what I am and have been from the past till now.

Friday evening after work, I dressed up and went to Lowyat. A place where I felt most comfortable. There, technology is key and Its been so long since last i updated myself. I felt good interacting and seeing new stuff. I was at ease. 1030pm.. was time to test out something I have never done before...How would I react heading into a Salsa club by myself...Ive not been into club for more than 3 times let alone a salsa club.

I realized that I was timid and felt inferior to all the MASTERS that spun on the dance floor. They worked their salsa so intricately and in such fantastic manner. I could do nothing more but sit and marvel. Luckily the ppl here were very friendly and offered a hand. But not for long.

Then I found my teacher. He introed me to some ppl who were kind enough to let me do some 4 combos at them compared to masterpieces when I look left and right, back and over the dance partner.

So how? like everyting else ...that has occurred ....maybe I should have stuck with the classes before I get myself hurt. Always banging into ppl. May have twisted some ppl's hands. And always stepped out of beat.

But nonetheless, like everything else tat I jumped into....it felt good! May have only 4 techs up my sleeves but it still felt good that I could keep up and make a decent lead.

Today...I went to work at 9,..stayed till 2 then started getting ready for tonights intimate family dinner. SIL was delayed, but was still on time for Sushi before the show. Mozart I think was on the menu this philharmonic night. Symphonies played for the Kings... it was good. (what else u want me to say..the french horners kept draining their instruments every now and then?)

And now im back in my room, thinking of all the things ive done, all the stuff Ive seen, all the things Ive heard. And wonder cute chubby guys like Hiro from Heroes are the in thing now with girls, what are the pretty-boys gonna do? :P

In a completely unrelated news, Mangosteen is also the IN fruit to take.

"Rest in peace Mr. 22," Said 23. "That'll do 22, that'll do,"

What would Mr 23 be like?

N95, Dopod 810 or wait for a new SOny Erricson(spell??)

2007-04-28T04:15:00.000+10:00

It all started in February. My recent excursion to the US introduced me to a concept already in play for more than 2 years but only recently in Malaysia.

Yes its the GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM! The ones where u can find urself in the map and find a way how to get to another point of interest. I researched in the US shops, BEST BUY!, TEXACO, and some other electronic shops, All have doubts with the use of the maps in Malaysia.

So off I went home to Good Ol Malaysia to seek out this new technology that has just recently been implemented in the market. In March, I went to Low Yat to survey for GPS modules.

NONE!! BUT there were PDA phones that had GPS capabilities. Impressive, I can put it in my car and take it out when I'm done as a phone. and plan my day on it as well.

The first Model I chased was the Dopod 800. It looked like an Palm and looked square. But I kept waiting.

The more I searched the more I was recommended to. And now it has come to two products.
PDA SHOPS vouch for the Dopod 810.

Handphone shops and the rest of the world wants N95.

No clue about the Sony Ericsson
So after much consideration, all these Info has to come down to me to direct my target.

So what is my verdict?..
..
..
the Dopod 810.

Why? you may ask. Why choose the so called underdog?
Chicks dig guys with Hot new Nokia phones!

These are the Top 10 reasons why I'd choose the D over the N...

10) System: Yes Symbian OS looks fancy nice and happening. But You cannot really upgrade its features more than what is given. Like a Java applet compared to a game.

9) Servicibility: Nokia service centers versus just everywhere else and if we are hardworking the web.

8) 3G?: Expecting a traveling life I want to be prepared to have the capability to obtain the full spectrum of WiFi even if if the rumor says that Malaysia will not be allowing 3.5G to function due to it's adverse effects to Navigation.

7) Speakers!: Yea N95 wins here... but I'll probably get a shuffle or a Samsung mp3 player to back me up in this department. And its not like N95 has much apart from a stereo set. And I don't wanna make other ppl suffer for my weird taste of music.

6) Camera: N95 wins as well here. But if u are a tan chong fella, u'll know that I dont really use my phones as cameras. I prefer cameras to do their job not phones to proxy them. And its not like i use 3Mps and up.

5) Control: N95 has no touchscreen which will be a pain in the arse to write stuff draw stuff...

4) Price: Not much difference between the two, but I think its more of functionality of the product that I'm interested in.

3) Outlook: True, N95 looks really cool and sleek, so I'll leave it to the ladies to enjoy that privilege. The Dopod looks alright as well, and I'm quite happy with it, as it looks more hardy compared to the Nokia.

2) GPS: N95 uses a Google interface which would look really awesome if I could test drive it. Sad Sad they wont let me. Mapking in the 810 is alright as the other GPS consoles have, but I'm not sure if they have detailed areas of places like Tumpat, Kelantan and Sungai Petani, Kedah.

... And the number 1 reason why I'd choose a D over the N.... Most things I end up going for either works with a Blade or the number 3, N95 has neither. But the 810's original name is HTC P3600 or HTC Trinity 100.

And there you have it. We'll be right back after these messages don't go away...

"Murder? How could you tell from such little details?" The Deputy pouted.

"Indirectly right, Deputy," He got up and walked behind the car and towards where the burnt tire tracks started. "Its suggestive suicide; the tire tracks suggested that she paused here for a moment, probably crying thinking of a sad memory, or a painful experience. And then the tire tracks suggest a burst of rage, hate and a need to end her own life once and for all as the yellow truck seem to be there just for her,"

They walked back to the door. "The school skirt suggests either for a fetish service or she is barely 17 or 18. An emotional or confusing stage of life to be in. Which means only an emotional scar can cause such irrational effects. So Mr. Forn, What problems did you have when you were 17?"

"Me?" The Deputy stammered, erring the entire way.

"Just as I thought, you were so confused in that era you have no idea what issues you faced," MT reached over and popped the glove compartment and rummaged through the stuff.

Then he continued. "Differential diagnostic, this kind of fluid discharged found confirms that she has had a recent wild night. Stench of smoke from her blouse suggests that she has been in a pub, The smell of faint alcohol suggest that she has been drinking but was not drunk during death. Which means it was an event that happened after the pub that caused her to take her life,"

"What do you mean? how can you tell?" Deputy was brain dead.

"1.1 MIL?" MT gasped. "How am I gonna get that kinda money in that period of time?"

"Get a loan?" Deputy Forn said sarcastically overhearing MT's conversation, and got kicked in the back.

MT hung up. But he knew it was inevitable. "Darn fundsuckers, where was I?"

"Part where she somehow gets some?" Deputy rolled his eyes.

"Ah yes my dear Forn, as I was fishing deliberately for her wallet I notice that she was, in layman's terms 'wet', at first I thought it would be bladder discharges. But with closer examination with the unknown substance it is," He gloved out the goo and did the consistency test with his fingertips.

"So, what does that mean?" Deputy Forn raised his brow.

"Would you jack off before you decide to die? Would you have the mood?"

"So she had sex before dying, maybe it was a 101 things to do before she dies list,"

"Or it could be just plain murder," The Dective looked blankly at Forn.

Ten ten TENNNN!!!

"Oh no not him again," Said a guy in blue. Deputy Forn of the City's police force shook his head. He was a brave man, in a sense. But when someone as sharp as I am come in the scene, he does he's best to cover up.

"MT!" He forced a smile. "How have you been?"

"Isn't it obvious?" I walk on making him trail me instead.

"Well this is a minor issue, none of your concern Detective, so please be on your way,"

"You call that normal?" I pointed out. A Kelisa smashed into a bright yellow trailer. Metal bits everywhere, smoking engine that the fireman made sure would not blow, and a victim, bloody and not heaving left stuck in the driver's seat.

I walked on. But he rushed before me and tried to slip me a fifty . I look at him. "Deputy, I'm a private investigator. I work how I want and where I want, and even so I definitely earn more than you'll ever earn in a year. So take that fifty and wipe your arse with it,"

He was stumped. But enough about him. The scene was messy, the firemen just pried open the driver's door when i began to squat and look at the victim.

A lady, young, about 5'2" wearing what looked to be a mixture of a dressy blouse and a school skirt. I scanned looked to where the car came from. Straight skids came from afar. I touched her neck, she was warm. Probably dead for not more than 2 hours. I looked for an Id. A bludge in her skirt pocket did the trick.

The Deputy was back. "Detective! You are not allowed to disturb crime scene evidence, besides what's so special about this one? Girl depressed at work or life, decides to end life in the back of a yellow trailer,"

"Well unless she likes to get some before her debut suicide act, I'd say we've got more than just a suicide here,"
. . . TBC...

DMT opens the pandora's box to a new case....

2007-04-20T23:34:00.000+10:00

MT hit the snooze on his phone. Time to wake up for another day at work. He planted his feet on the wooden floor and cupped his face with his hands. Most of the night he tossed and turned trying to get some sleep but couldn't. What was in his mind that kept him awake.

The box. It seemed irrelevant, but it must be it. He opened the box and peered in it. "What in the hell?"

(part of the story...don't report me....:P)

"Is this some kind of joke?" A name card was on the bottom of the box. Blade's Slivery. "How is this going to help with the investigation?" Mac placed the box aside and turned up the police radio.

There seemed to be a disturbance in the police community. The words "pub", "cars", "suicide" caught his attention. He grabbed his trench and walked out the door...

DMT peers around the corner.....sirens bellowing in the dark..

2007-04-20T00:30:00.000+10:00

"Detective MacTanace at your service," He laid down his name card. "I will find out who did this to Mr.Blades, it is my solemn duty,"
***

I walked out of the hospital. The night was wet and gloomy. I reached for my pocket and took out my PDA. The patterns of attacks were similar. Seduction, binding, stake through the heart. Some religious fanatic is killing people with a hatred for vampires. Similar to the TaxiHunter disappearance. But I could not make any assumptions yet, not until I get the facts right.

"Detective!" He called from behind. I turned around. Juzzy, Trius' twin brother brisked walked to me. "Detective, I'm glad I caught up with you,"

"What do you want?" I said. I didn't need more rumblings of a concerned relative. Nevertheless, I stood silently listening just incase and clues followed suit.

"Thank you for taking the case MT, I would like to give you a token of appreciation," He handed me a parcel. "Its something he held in his hand when he was attacked," I took it from him and walked off into the scene. I thought it would be cool to do so.

Back home. I left the parcel on my desk. Unopened. I stared at it for a good hour. Then went straight to bed. "My first case," I thought. "This is going to be a good one,"

***

Out in the city, in a bar, a man sat steadily in at the bartender's high chair. "Whats your poison tonight sir?"

"Give me a whiskey and table number 5," He put down a stack of 50s on the bartender's counter.

"Absolutely sir," The bartender began mixing his drink with a sly smile.

Lesson reluctantly learnt

2007-04-17T22:23:00.000+10:00

Sorry guys, I guess I'm just not used to the game. It has taught me a really good lesson. I shall never mess around (despite the nature of my clan). Its painful to experience such scenarios when ur the one that is at a loss.

I was at a low for three whole days...(I still am). But walking to my car from my office my officemate asked me why I was down. I told him that I was having an unlucky strike. He told me not to let this take me down. Instead cheer up and take it in a good way.

It was then, I realize that my teacher had always taught me the biggest lessons in my life and I thank and love my teacher for that.

I was too engrossed in the lesson that I forgot and went all out as I always do. Thank you for straightening me out. Though i'm still not over it.

Why God Why?

2007-04-17T19:21:00.000+10:00

Why does everything mean everything when you are down? Songs seem to mean everything, things that usually wouldn't matter to you suddenly becomes ultimately sensitive...and everything else that goes wrong suddenly gets to you.

It all started last Saturday, all of a sudden, my internet died. It came back on after 5 mins, but at a 56kb level. Its been like that ever since.

Felt rotten on Sunday. Thought I'd feel better after seeing that three year old Rinpoche..but in the sweltering heat, all he did was do some weird faces at me and then began to "man chang"/or manja or what ever.

Tot of heading to the gym to workout my stress, didnt work out well. Ended up pulling a muscle. Went to the sauna ..but couldnt stand the heat.

Woke up late on monday, arrived at work late. Got screwed by the boss. UD line had to stop production cause someone switch suppliers of a stock item which couldnt perform. Most parties got screwed. Phone died today.

At the meeting, my boss FFKed (ditched me) leaving me in the deep end of the pool with 15 taichi experts throwing all the blame at maintenance. Had to swallow everything they gave to me. On the way home, a car infront of me hit the emergency brakes, I had to brake as well, was an inch from paying my first car repair bill.

Felt really down, went for salsa class to cheer myself up...it helped a lil..for a while.

This morning I woke up late but manage to get out of the house 5 mins earlier. Nevertheless the jam was worse than yesterday. My supervisor is on leave to day. I have to settle a nego appointment. But my CPR was not signed. Went to look for the DIrector incharged, but she left the building just a few minutes before i reached. Wanted to check if my fax was in, Secretary was not in.

Now im here sulking and cursing at myself, for having such a horrible week. What a way to end my 22nd year on Earth. Oh God, What are you trying to tell me? Why are you making me suffer? Did I do anything wrong in my past life? If so please have mercy on my soul and spread it out evenly.

All this pain is really getting to me. I don't know how much longer can I smile at my colleagues and tell them that I'm okay. If my luck continues to falter, I'd be dead by the end of the week.

A fortune teller once said that I'd always face problems when Im with my mom and she will always have the best luck when Im with her. And it switches when we are apart.

Dont believe? but it happens every single time, the facts are there how can one prove it wrong? She mentioned something else that also came true but I dont wanna talk about it...Just one more revelation to go but its a fork just like the prophecies in Terry Goodkind.

I want to make it work, Muse always said i was too soft. Perhaps its a sign to harden up. I have no more amor left on me, and ive never even tasted blood yet. Is this the end, will my cup which i always took everyone else's tea and "Yum seng"ed be finally broken...

Im back in the black sphere from 10 years ago, once cracked, a window i peeked out, now resealed, im all alone..in pain as im doomed to stay knowing that theres haven outside the black sphere that I can never reach...

Please...change my fate, let this that has happen pass..erase my memory and let me start anew.. as I never knew suffering, hate, anger, greed, lust, envy....

Giving and letting go, giving and letting go..O Great Shyakamuni how did you do it? Second time is more painful then the first..

I think i just need a hug... and a pat..sigh.. But if one more thing happens, just 1...i think i'm gonna go mad...Im gonna go berserk!!

Loss...

2007-04-16T08:24:00.000+10:00

A cringe of fear
first settles near
in a place you never knew...

Could feel so filled with fear
to loose a dear
your ankles follow suite.

The words were spoken,
your chest heartbroken
you brace to save your soul

And yet it lags
you feel it drag
and know its a long long drop.

It seems alright
wasnt so bad, without a fight
you stand and laugh at fear

But as you stand your veins
your chest then your heart
shrinks, broken, just by seeing the word 'apart'.

You console your soul
chicken soup for a ghoul
who'd feel better in a tick.

But then a wave so great
like a slap from cold meat
you crumble eyes so thick.

You bury your face
in the hope that this case
you can hold your feelings right

But no matter how logical
your mind is still an animal
its difficult not to put up a fight.

You awake from your cave,
cowardice to be saved,
and wonder if the coast is clear.

But as you make a stand
two feet on suddenly sand
you wobble through the day on and on.

Every moment you face
persons, a smile you must make
so to hide what goes on inside...

But as you turn and face
the mind provoking blaze,
your heart thumps hard inside..

You console yourself
'hey you did this to yourself'
a burn you must endure..

But its tough to see,
a dear say leave,
it'll seem yesterday though so long long ago..

You call your friends
family out on the weekend
for a lunch or dinner at 8

But no matter how much
you try the bunch
cant cheer you up long though the night late.

You return home
to your comfy home
your parents still awake

Don't want to startle them
not their fault that ur damned
silence not a word not a sound

ANd you creep in your room
wishing u had harry's broom
and sweep this memory all gone

Then you come to think
why god bring me things
that in the end i have to let go..

Like an ice-cream cake
in the window pane
that you can never afford to know.

But then you see,
A hope that one day would be
And your heart feels shattered no more..

Change of wind....Dad always said..

2007-04-15T09:41:00.000+10:00

Was gonna post something on paradise, but no... i'll talk something more relevant to the world, and the Issues of Malaysia...and what I would like to see changed in the political arena.

All my life, my dad, my uncles and friends of my dad have always laughed about Malaysia's inability to maintain projects after a month or two of building it. Its true, toilets were unclean, hedges along roads becoming hazards, portholes not properly done thus breaking again.

And yet, instead of funding maintenance, they fund millions to project departments that build even more items that requires upkeep. Its true, projects yield loadz of money to both the project department and the government from its benefits... but whats the use if we cannot maintain it? Without proper funding allocation, how do you expect maintenance to fix up the ever growing projects around Malaysia.

At this stage I can hear the government, putting out the hand and maybe slipping a note from under the table to shut me up. But it doesnt matter, nobody reads this blog anyway. Which comes to our next problem. Bribery. I am aware that all countries live with at least some form of bribery to keep things moving. Malaysia though no longer number one, flourishes on bribery. Dad always said, "its whom u know, not what you know". And this is one of the few things he said that I vouch true. Its good in the context that if we appreciate what someone has done for us, we give them something in return for gratitude.

But paying someone off to shut their mouth or twisting tapes and accusations is unethical. This encourages greed, and spoils the market for people who want to make a decent buck. But then again, Dad always said, "It is difficult to get rich without some trickery," And what he says is true. We don't live in a simulated world, but a world mixed with all elements of sin and virtues. Therefore, to survive, men can no longer abide fully on virtuous grounds unless one wants to live a "just enough" life.

Take it from me, Im from a family of two sides of a coin. My dad always encouraged me to be exposed to all issues, of the ugly world just so I won't be suprised from when I see it happen to me. Scandals, bribery, drugs, rape, murder, porn, robbery, motorbikes. All with risks of harming me or my friends, he made sure I was aware of the existence of such things.

My mom on the other hand always made sure I was always virtuous. Never to hurt anyone's feelings if possible. To ask rather than command, to befriend rather than dictate. Study first, be supportive financially to the family before heading out and looking for another. Always help another if it is within our means, especially in mind. This was always emphasized (to share the stress because the mind can only take so much). This is because there has been cases where ppl go cuckoo for bottling up and when the bottle bursts, they breakdown and act abnormal.

And because of being virtuous for the past 22...23 years. I've always satisfied the wants of others but never fully the wants of my own. Singing for an uncle, changing schools for the sake of my aunt's recommendation, serving with utmost loyalty to employers, helping a friend in times of needs, getting lower grade comp as per recommended by my uncle, hand me downs. It is selfless acts like this that I usually excel, but when it comes to my own, it always becomes a flop.

So whats the point of being virtuous when everyone steps on your head? There is only one point that keeps me from turning. . . but i can't remember the point at the moment. hmm.. weird. There are so much more benefits that come with sining...money, fame, chicks, at least when you die...you won't be forgotten in the real world (despite all the suffering u'd endure in hell) you'd have kids going after your money, paparazzi taking pictures of your coffin, media attention and all.

Sometimes I look back and wonder why i didn't do what I wanted to do...cause now that one's virtuous, ppl always come to you for help, you'd feel good and when you die, you know u'll just feel good...done you go to heaven and forsake all others that still await trial on earth and in hell.

If you believe in heaven and hell. Which comes to the next sensitive subject of religion. What is religion? religion is a word made by man in describing a justice system ruled by a supreme being. It filters out those who wish to be saved and those who wish to carry on their lives looking for fame and fortune. Originally made to change the ways of human's sinful means, they now become a shortcut for businessmen who have done sinning, about to die, and don't want to go to hell.

Dad always said.."Be honest to yourself". I guess he never said anything about being honest to others. Dad always laughed at me for being too honest. Once we were in London waiting to buy a tube ticket to go somewhere. He was trying to pass me off as a 4 year old kid (as european kids were so much larger), I was not suppose to head to the counter, but I did, and when he said that I was 4, I corrected him and said that I was six. He had to swallow his tongue and pay an extra 3 pounds or so.

Dad always said "Ask yourself before you buy something, can you live without it?" That was always directed on toys that I wanted to buy...I guess, Its a good filter from spending too much especially from my family background. See my parents are simpleton ppl, always for the children, skipping lunches, sacrificing, taking our nonsense, punishing us even if it hurts them as well. We are not a wealthy bunch, but they planned well. Even if we are from an okay financial status, we were able to go places even most Datuks and Datins have not found the time to go...due to perks.

I've learnt so much from them and yet, sometimes I feel restricted. Its not their fault, I appreciate very much what they've done for me, but sometimes I feel I could have done more. Many uncles and dad's friends keep asking me, "Why did you not, stay back in Australia?" I always laugh and keep it unanswered. But living there I realized how much I missed my parents, even if I don't show it..(dont know how) I realize that they will not be around forever. My dad's retired, my mom will be in July, I would be the only staple person capable of supporting us.

Bro's in the states with his wife and twins, helping to support education on the other side. If I were to stay in Australia, I would not be able to support myself very well until after awhile, which I reckon 2 years of ausy dollars draining in me have already taxed my parents alot. So I decided to head back, and do what i can to be with my parents and take over the financial struggle. Mom's been wanting me back anyway, they've missed the children...bros not been home much for the past 10 years...Ive been away from them for 2. They've satisfied their misses through skype...but now that Im back, I think its much better.

A grandma once said "There's two things that are unforgivable; Making a lady cry, and treating food badly," I guess its better that way....

enough of Simon sez I guess...else one can get giddy...i hope that one day i look back on this entry and say..."Wat on earth was I thinking writing such delusional stuff?"

why did I choose to Bishma when I did....

Tan Chong Golden Village

2007-04-13T19:41:00.000+10:00

Hello ppl... ends my 3 week of working. How so far? Well in this Tan Chong Golden Village u can find...

ACTION!! SUSPENSE!!! DRAMA!!! FANTASTIC MARTIAL ARTS EFFECTS!! DODGING BULLETS!! FALLING CARS !!! BURSTING PIPES!!! MORE DROPPING CARS!!! THIS IS ....THE LAST ACTION HERO!!! STARRING ARNOLD SWAERNKLGNSJKL "GET DOWN!!!" TACHI MASTER JET LI "RELAX AND PUSH IS THE KEY!!" NEO KEANU REEVES !!! " THERE IS NO BULLET THERE IS NO BULLET!! AND MASTER YODA!! "mmm...Move the hoist and I beams, u must .. the other side it should be!!" "But master Yoda, the roof will not stand it" "No...no different, look at me...Judge me by my size do u? carry the I-beam I can with the force. For it is my ally..and a powerful ally it is...do now....or whack bottom I will" This APRIL ......

Okies...lol... Now im going to talk about why being a maintenance engineer in a automotive plant is like being a gynecologist.

1) When some pipe is broken, u gotta diagnose it and fix the problem.
2) U get to inspect topless models without actually owning any.
3) Only when there is a problem do they come looking for you.
4) With so many items/patients there will always be a checkup scheduled.
5) If u cant finish it in one inspection, u gotta follow up on another day with so many other patients in line
6) Breakdown/diagnostic forms always go to u until its fix then u file it.
7) Best way of learning is to get down and dirty with it.
8) Once ur used to it, u dont get a high any more
9) Sometimes, topless models could look pretty nasty
10) If you cant handle it, you can always call in a specialist.

Trius under the Rule of Tan Chong's TKF

2007-04-12T00:48:00.000+10:00

Its been 3 weeks, working for Tan Chong. Its good experience, but recently this week Ive been working to my bones. My manager Mr. Tan Kin Foo, is a retired engineer in the Maintenance department who I directly report to.

sometime he's okay. But sometimes he plays Warcraft with us....clicking us continuously until we explode like lil poly-morphed lambs. Ooo at the moment Im still able to keep up..but will i be able to after several months?

By the way, i "won" a trip to genting on the 27th of APril...have to apply for leave. Hopefully can. SIgh, wish my blade-chan could come...sniff sniff...Have to find some friends to replace her instead....sigh....

maybe can celebrate up there...oor in the office...mmm....ambiguous ambiguous.

Ah well...tomorrow's another day...

TTTTT if only AUDI sponsored me...

Pirates of Digital Mall no longer.....nuuuu...CALL TO ARMS!!

2007-04-10T19:52:00.000+10:00

Last Saturday.... I went to the last piracy stronghold known in Selangor... Digital mall..What I found was beyond explanation....

Digital Mall...the last known source of pirated dvds and cds for PC games and programs..... gone... Barren...torn from the face of the earth pillaged by anti-pirate patrols....

Is this the end of the once majestic era of piracy? Are we...Pirates of the Digitalia take this standing down? Are we going to take this blow in the face and walk home?

k... if u feel that way....fight and u may go to jail...stand down...u'll live.. at least a while.

And dying in ur beds, you look back to this day..thinking of what would it be like if you DID FIGHT AND GET LOCKED UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS!!....CAUSE TODAY ...WE FIGHT FOR PIRACY!!! AND THE WELL BEING OF OUR DIGITAL LIFE!!!

Men and women of Asia I stand before you not as your leader to this Campaign..but as a solution to his Glorious Era tat we are losing...for without piracy...would we be as we are today? WOuld we be this educated? Would we be great strategist and yet be able to walk in our pasar malam (night market) khakis which happens to be the most expensive thing we own?

Would we be able to have the computer skills we have today to earn a living with such low purchasing power? Will we allow ourselves to be as computer illiterate as our forefathers?

I say NO!! No to taking away our children's skills..No, to be outdated if we have no money!! NO to seeing yourselves as old ladies and men paying rich kids service money to type out a memo for you on the computer wordsheet.

THat is why I call to thee, Fellow Bloggers, Online fanatics, Pirate sympathizers, I call to thee!! in the name of all that is DIgital Piracy!!! Spread out thy messages for this is a CALL TO ARMS!!!

And we shall prevail as village idiots who in the end made a difference to the Human Race!

A gentlemman...

2007-04-07T01:16:00.000+10:00

"When a gentleman makes his way down a row in a crowded theater, he faces the people who are already in their seats. A gentleman never forces others to stare at his backside"

Ah ratz... thats another virtue down the drain. And i tot it was rude to let the audience stare at Mr.Happy. For nights I have been spending ten minutes at a time reading this collection of books on one of my most weaker subjects...besides math.

Manners, and fittingly the collection is called Gentle-manners. Its a guide book on how to act gentlemanly blah blah blah....stuff that we (im not saying everyone...just me at the moment) pay little attention to which affects relationships with others.

So from now on with the help of this book I hope to better myself for the benefit of everyone else. Rule number one of the book

"A Gentleman is someone who makes others feel comfortable. Good manners is simply a matter of common sense and courtesy".
Sigh im a long way from being one....but im willing to learn..

Management..underway Engineering Zero, Profiling Zero..

2007-04-02T22:13:00.001+10:00

Sigh sigh Sigh... I have been feeling excessively moody these couple of weeks. Nonetheless I am Happy to be part of an organization. To belong to a clan, a family...is fantastic. Of course its nice to have an occasional wanderlust...but at least after so long I am learning to work together again.

I believe this will be the most overviewic post ever in these few months. Looking back three months, and see how much I have achieved, I am glad that I have gone this far. For three months I've been ...A warrior, a wanderer, a lover, a worker, an author, so much in such a short time... Im glad I am living up to my resolutions....

looking forward to the rest of the year... More to come more to see...hopefully....no/small sine waves...As long as I play the rhythm I can pace and help everyone else...

Revelations of Three....333 Half the devil...

2007-03-31T02:42:00.000+10:00

Today 30/3/2007...I have been seeing many 3s around.

1) At work, We had three meetings today.
2) Had lunch with three Judges of the Magistrate
3) three Cats waited for some of my fish while having dinner
4) Mc Donald's total of 2 hot milos and 1 apple pie (3 items) came up to RM7.77
5) Had dealings with Three departments as well... (MIS, Admin and HR)

333 thats my number buahaha

The life of the Three is not to be succumbed by orders and mindless follows, and the God-like power to ruthlessly Rule over your minions. The Path of Three is the intermediate between heaven and Earth, between lead and follow, balance between offensive stance and defensive. It is the gentle lead that men follow, the shoulder that bears the weight with your friends, and the Voice that is heard by the Gods.

But... the Three is also doomed to live a life of three. Never to have his heart for himself as he lives for the happiness of others. To save those around him from damnation while sacrificing himself as a scapegoat. As a tree is one that gives life by living with the Earth's water and the Heaven's rays. So is the Three who needs the support and affirmation of his interacts.

Lyrics..: What do you do when ur dating a blogger?

2007-03-08T13:41:00.000+11:00

Thanks to technology, now there's e-communities, e-celebrities, some even get -hitched in MMORPGs (mostly men online role playing as girls..according to kijin). And then we've got the high and mighty e-celebrities that are usually consist of e-journalist known as bloggers.

So what if you get entangled with one. How would you feel if u were dating a celebrity? Or in this case a blogger. What would U do if U were dating a blogger?

What do you do when you're dating a blogger?
=================================
(Sung to the tune of 'What do you do with a B A in English?' from the Adult Musical 'Avenue Q')

What do you do when
you're dating a blogger?
what is my life going to be?
with so many blog-fans
and plenty of admirants
could tear up your
heart completely.

I can't say I'm home yet
'cause I have no job yet
This blogger's one hell of a date..
But somehow i can't shake
this feeling we might make
it through to the fi-nal base..

bwahaha my take on christianity..though i'm not...

2007-03-06T11:02:00.000+11:00

Let us recap what as happened since the past decade. Ever since the book that changed the world's perspective (no not that one...the more recent one). The grounds of which Christianity of which started oh so long ago were starting to be questioned more courage. I mean there has always been doubts amongst religions, one say this one is better, that one is complete compared to, who the hell did he do that? So let us take it one step at a time.

1) What is religion and how in the name of history has it been established?

Religion is a body of which a supreme being (poly or mono) is stated above it's followers and is used to govern the people from wrong doings. This could either be by fear, promise of liberation, or a better life. The Aztecs used fear and sacrifices to govern the people's needs, a good harvest, less famine, and a victory in war. Taoism used the elements and harmony and used stories of heroes who overcame obstacles as role models for the people. Of course being the humble and 'follow your elder's' society, these role models soon became idols and legends and finally deities.

Now if you put it into context, the latter's concept put into the middle east say Jerusalem. In a time where many soothsayers marketed their prophet-hood. It is like tourist shopping in the night market. If you don't be cautious, you'll buy everything. So people tend to be more cautious in choosing a club....i mean religion. They would question everything until they are impressed with something they can never explain. Like magic.

2) Context of JC's legacy

JC's legacy started from his mother. In a society where prostitutes are looked down at, virgin births are sometimes 'misinterpreted' as raped or lay-claim victims. With so many Roman Soldiers in shining armor, one can easily be chosen for fornication. So with a virgin pregnancy, ones reputation can be easily 'mistaken'.

In this sense, JC was born a bastard son, his foster father Joseph not being his own would have cared for him more as a friend a stepfather that could never replace his own. Thus, JC was brought up like any other American remarried mother would. He would be more matured and independent person. Today, you can clearly see that children with a missing parent would be stronger compared to one with everything.

His affinity to create things suggested that he was a creative individual and an action oriented person as well. The Will was strong in him as God had intended.

There is a missing link in the bible that does not explain a section of his life as he disappeared from records until his return when he was about 30. There is a record (not sure how true) that during that time, in India, there was a holyman who came to study the sutras of India before returning.

It could be that he was looking for his destiny..no matter how much you may deny it. But My argument is that, what ever he taught when he returned was very much in context of the dharma sutras that had already been written hundreds of years before his time in India.

Back then, India was a thriving place, filled with Bharmans and holyman who claimed magic and miracles. Snake charmers, people who stick their skins with Kavadis and and come out without a scratch.

The important thing is, JC returned a person with an enlightened mind, one which could not be wavered for it was true and law. Men of that age in Jerusalem did not have the background of scientists and therefore explaining the laws of nature and the rule of action and reaction was simply out of the question. JC had to try a different method. One that had already been used in China and India. Overcoming obstacles, healing with touch and solving problems. But because of the people's different perspective, he was not idolized as a deity but respected as one with no limit of kindness.

He was selfless, gave unconditional love to everyone, even the prostitutes which were considered filthy(coincidence? i'll leave it to you). He was a true William Wallace who fought to save mankind from destroying themselves. For he knew more than everyone else. He knew that sin (note the spelling and connection to the 'sine wave') was the action that would cause the destruction of the actor during the downfall of reaction.

When he was crossed, the whole community shattered at the loss of their hero. When he was brought down and away, those who was him missing, thought he had been claimed by God. This gave the community something to believe, an ultimate example of what good could give to man. Whether JC died on the cross or survived it as recent records show, his followers intended to keep the miracle alive.

3) So what is your point?

Mormons are disliked by many subdivisions of Christianity as they depict a new prophet who used Aztec pieces to read the new orders of God. But no matter how much they defer, the Mormons are happy and live a fantastic live. So is it wrong to believe in a 'lie' if it gives out good vibes anyway? What if we put what the Mormons are doing to the context of the Greater Christianity? and Christianity the rest of the world?

No, it is not wrong, however, one must understand that even if you know what is right and wrong, one must never talk bad about another's religion. You could ask about the details and question it, but never condemn it's mechanics for it is their Will to follow.

4) What if its true? What would you do?

All my life, I have had the bestest of friends who are Christian. Which is why I know a bit of Christianity. I almost wanted to convert to Catholic when I was in 1st grade. But now after so long, I realize that it is not fair for me to choose a path and limit myself into a gang. Even if it saves my soul from damnation. It is not the savior's path. Therefore, I strive to stay on earth or in hell until the last souls are liberated to heaven, maybe bring good ol Lucifer back to his creator.

AVenue Q

2007-03-03T12:10:00.000+11:00

I bought the soundtrack on Avenue Q: The Musical....its fantastic....great and funny lyrics
'Internet is for Porn', 'Schadenfreude', 'It sucks to be me', 'Everyone's a little bit racist' among the songs that were around. There was one that was kinda nice to listen to...

There's a Fine, Fine Line Lyrics
Kate Monster:
There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;
There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie;
And there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye."
I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime,
But there's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of your time.

And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity, I've got to close the door
And walk away...
Oh...

There's a fine, fine line between together and not
And there's a fine, fine line between what you wanted and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime...

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

Is it just me or Rats in particular...?

2007-03-03T07:21:00.000+11:00

I return from a long vacation, filled with networking, adventure and well...wanderlust. But As I returned, a sense of turmoil began ravaging my body. As such power is expelled from the vessel, the vessel will experience emptiness in return.

A weakness that makes one sensitive by touch ...as well as mind. It made me wonder deep in thought of how my life has gone and what I have achieved so far...

I have always been living in the shadows of others. Uncles and aunts always know me by my brother's name or relate me to him. I am always second and below, never first in school or running as I either did not want fame or could not achieve it at all. And when I do win, it is because the first person forfeited. Everything in my life, from the clothes to the perks that I enjoy is not originally worked by me, or given for me. I am always second in line, what RPGers know as 'the son of a Hero'.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the perks and my life,I have lived an immortals life, but it pains me to know that I will always get things not under my own accord.

And believe me i've tried. Learning musical instruments, self-defense courses, everything I've tried never usually finishes. Will I be able to achieve something that I can be proud of? When can I be respected as myself and not be the shadow of someone else?

I sit here this morning suffering a massive jetlag, drained to the bone, unable to move or sleep... and so I do what I can only do, write, write like the confused person unable to choose between blood and the freshest mountain water ever tasted. Will there be a time that I can call one 'my own and know that it is no one elses?

Or perhaps the change of mindset should start from inside me? to accept graciously everything that comes into life.

'An immortal is measured not by how long he lived (That is just absurd), but by his capacity to love.' This is explained in the song by Queen 'Who wants to live forever'. To live in a world of mortals. If you give your heart to one, he/she will definitely grow old and die. But as an immortal, you will live on. And there will come a time where you can no longer bare loving another, as the feeling of losing one's heart again and again will drive one mad. You would no longer want the perk of living forever, even if it gives you the chance to see the future. You will no longer want to be indestructible for you know that a world without love is meaningless.

Even as a mortal, it pains to see a love one leave the world. For you know that you will miss the person. Some would wish they'd never met or loved as it would ease the pain or have no pain at all. Others would cherish the time that one lived but would foreva be in one's memory and never return.

I for one am not good at mind games and don't know how to react to traps. And so I have lived a cautious life, never giving my heart out to anyone. In return, I lived a nomadic life without purpose and commitment. But because of that, I developed a keen eye on things, tricks and trades by observation. With one clue, I can tell that something is wrong. Problem is, I don't know what to do with it. So I usually put a blind eye and act I never saw anything. Its always best for everyone. Usually everyone but me.

My journey to Australia, made me realize that I had to come out of the shell and be burnt. I already have, but can I withstand this wildfire that I have for so long been protected from? I will continue...to see what happens, But I don't know how well I can take this...but I guess I have to start somewhere.

Another strange dream...

2007-02-22T14:36:00.000+11:00

This dream started with a scream....of my nephews...and then a presence of my mom walking into the room...I tried getting myself up but, I was still drowned in sleep. Eventually I got up did a lil chatting and slept back again...

I just got off the plane and was looking for the dark lord when I arrived at the resort by car. It seemed like a double story house with a fantastic kitchen and a wooden railing upwards. I was told that the darklord was at the jetty sailing. When I got there, there were 3 water vehicles in the shape of killer whales which swam really fast. Instead of The DArklord who emerged from the water crafts, two other high school mates of mine were there.

They told me that the darklord was in the building next to the lake. And so I went up to the place and found the darklord. One invention was the spiral steps that reconstructs itself from a rack.

"The East and West ends are good investments" he said.

I found myself in a car driving back, and then trying to pump some gas at shell.

What does it mean? too much imagination...(exactly hahhaa)

Beast foreva stays a beast

2007-02-21T08:29:00.000+11:00

Spent a day shopping for baby clothes and accessories with a bad headache. It got me thinking of what a monster I have become...Around me, I see love everywhere, my brother and sister in law, their married friends, their children, my nephews, every deed by everyone showering their love.

Adam thought me over the baby swing, that in order for the swing to work it's wonders, you must let go. I have been so obsessed in hooking up with the one i care so much about, I have forgotten why i didn't hook up in the first place.

The greatest love one could ever give is the selfless and unconditional happiness for the other. So many years I have denied myself cardinal pleasures of being in love....I can barely feel anymore. I have but weeks before I no longer able to stand out and do something for my own benefit and future...

This maybe the headache talking, but I will never be able to think straight again, I'm skewed by lust gluttony and sloth, this is my final gasp for oxygen... before I lie back and wait for the water to overwhelm and drown me...

haha stupid rants again....bloody headache...

Chinese New YEar In Canton, USA

2007-02-17T23:26:00.000+11:00

mmm good morning, its 0727 in Canton, Michigan. Had one of the wierdest yet bestest dreams I could ever have. I was in a school kind of place, run by samurai overlords. We had to escape from this place without being seen. After much running on roofs, hanging on window ledges, and hiding ontop of exhaust air ducts on the ceilings. I finally manage to escape.

There were other people as well, and when I returned to the facility to rescue another, it was in the shape of a shopping mall. There were two levels down ant about 3 above me. It was perceived to be a Jaya Jusco branch.

Before long, I was in the middle of a stadium trying to save the world from falling black looking asteroids.

Through out this dream i woke up a couple of times hence the difference in scenario...

I was in a room That seemed to be a holy place of some sort. A girl who helped me before in the previous dreams was in trouble. Her husband has just died leaving no will. She is the 3rd and last wife who has bore him no children so far. 1st and 2nd have children and would happily ditch her as they are 'best friends foreva'..somehow tat phrase was mentioned.

So anyway there was a person who wanted to walk out, but then a smelly old homeless stood and wished to walk in. In shock the guy accidentally presses the close button inhibitting the homeless to come in. Feeling wrong for it was a house of charity and compassion, we rushed to open the door. Unfortunately, all we could find was a black gorilla leaving the scene. We chased the gorrilla and ended up in a school bus. Looking out to our left hand side, we seeked the gorilla.

But all we saw was a brown cloaked Holyman, 2 3-toed sloths. Soon we gave up, and I began chatting with B. We talked about hols plans in a couple of months. We joked and laughed. A kid left a bus...I somehow moved to the front of the bus with my friend as we started holding hands. The kids didn't like the 13-pg stuff and started poking my right side everytime i turned away. I tried placing a pillow to protect my side but it was in vain. Soon 4 of them stood up wanting to leave the bus. But they kept threatening to poke. And then as another left the bus, I woke up.

I know it doesn't seem like it maked any sense, But I have not had such an intricate dream for a while. Many things that I wanted to say to my friend, I did, to me it was the most wonderful Dream I have had this decade... packed with action, suspense, romance, and mystery... or am i just thinking too much?

anyway hope what i did will come to be reality...Happy Chinese Year 2007,,...Golden Pig

HAPPY VALENTINES!!! PPL

2007-02-16T21:14:00.000+11:00

Now usually I spend valentines, text messaging ppl's girlfriends to wish them Happy Vals. But this year is different...something has changed...both in me and a special someone...

Im like, not in Malaysia and my phone is on Roaming. To tell you the truth, One MUST spend at least 1 valentines in Europe! The atmosphere is just astounding! Guys waiting for girls with roses in their hands. Couples meeting up, hugging kissing necking.. high embraces, shoulder embraces, lower embraces... Hugging each other for warmth...so romantic.. Im in love with the way they do things here. I would like just once, to take my love one here...to meet up, go for a lovely dinner somewhere, and then watch a play or a musical...truly magnificent. And later in the night, we take a long stroll down to our hotel, pushing her up against the wall and necking her before whispering some giggles and sugar into her ears. Then we head up to our room, make out a lil, mouthing 'I love u's every moment our mouths partially part and then cuddle in bed until the morning break.

Imagine walking along rivers and bridges, admiring, the scenery and each other's company. Amsterdam, London, Venice, or Enjoying the night on top of the Empire State Building or underneath the Eiffel Tower. If a girl did that to me, I'd just eat her alive...ravaging every single inch of her skin. Forgive me for being a Taurus, I just so enjoy the beauty of things.

Unfortunately,
this Valentine, I spent the evening with a guy friend...not to say anything but its kinda sad having dinner with someone of the same sex preference as you on Valentines day unless of course you're taken and are millions of yards away from your partner, which is the case. But this is still wrong. We had dinner at Misato's waiting for about 30 mins, eating, went for a walk and then a play...and ended up sleeping at his place. NOW do you get how sad this is?

Hello Trials of 2007

2007-02-12T11:26:00.000+11:00

Hi folks, welcome back...Now time for new resolutions,

1) Learn to have empathy
2) Learn to be capable
3) Learn to be bad...

To tackle the first empathy can only be done by having a relationship with another and develop a connection where you know what the other wants. Getting a Girlfriend is one, Getting a job is another.

Both allows the 2nd resolution to develop as well. But the 3rd can give variable results for both. Unfortunately since Im traveling, getting a job was out of the question.

Recently however, I met up with a dear friend...and we kicked off some how... I still am blur until today... but I would like to believe we kicked off...

The Trial?
It was 2 days before my departure for UK and even more alarmng valentines is around the corner!! Oh Goodness am I the worst Boyfriend or wat? I managed to arrange something last minute, but I dunno whether it will work. I dont have the cash to send her flowers...as i keep thinking flowers are like the least practical thing to be given as a handgift...its like leasing a property from nature...and then after 3 days your 300 dollar investment...goes down the well compost heap

Please forgive my practical thinking, but i was brought up in a family that had to think twice before upgrading a computer, or change a new handphone. Tats probably why, I've never been hitched.

Apart from that I have been given a mission. To learn wat i can in the working world. So tat in 2 years time, the Dark lord shall gather his minions, and the Dark Empire shall rise to conquer Kayelle city!!

okay goodnite

I guess this is goodbye...

2006-12-08T17:02:00.000+11:00

Dear readers (no matter how few),

I guess the last post didnt really turn out that well as a Goodbye entry at all. In truth, I was never really good at saying those words truthfully. Probably because I never really wanted to say them.

These two years of living in Australia, and four years in Monash, have been the BEST years of my life. I really mean that. I have learnt so much, gained so much, missed so much and above all Loved so much. And even though I have suffered trauma, sorrow, hate and politics; I never regretted being apart of them. I am proud to wear what I have experienced with great pride.

To me, Melbourne was a good 'home course' for me. With such crisped environments, it thought me the basics of living without the cloud of corruption. Here everything was clear, and effective, cause and effects were understandable even up to ant management.

But most importantly were the people that touched my life. Everyone, from people who uttered a light raise of the eyebrow, to great friends who I live with, to those who appreciate what I do, the lady that showed me that materialistic things were not everything, and to my darling (KL,Malaysia) who supported me through the years. Please know that even though I may seem cold-fished and speechless, it is because what you have done for me is beyond what I can say or describe.

And with relations to what you have done for me, I would like to apologise for being difficult to anyone for any reason that you were not happy about me. It maybe for my strange taste of music, malleable brain for movies, or my obsession with 86s or wooden sticks. If any of these were a nuisance to you, I ask for you to forgive me. I pray that I am able to better myself, no matter how slow but do tell.

Last but not least, to the tenants of Tenten Bayview Avenue 2006, Dinner group of Bayview Avenue, Party members, Chefs, drinks providers, doritos bringers, and even sleeping members; and The Tenten Bayview Monument itself...Thank you so much for having me as part of your life. The things Ive learnt, the people Ive met, The reason of me being a better person is because of you! I Love you all (no matter how politically incorrect for half of you), Thanking for Making The Difference in me.

As this entry comes to a close, so shall this blog become an archive for all the "master piece" of my rants in the last year come to a close. I wish this to be a memory that I can come back and laugh at "Hey can you believe how Fing stressed up I was about the nut and bolt not fitting, if I only knew then that I'd have to screw thousands of them every day for the rest of my life hah ah aha". Thank you blogreaders (no matter how many you are) for staying in touch. Thnx for being my friend... good....by...hope to meet you in the future....

Thus ends the epic Chapter of the Trials of Trius

2006-12-05T15:05:00.000+11:00

Time, Torment, and Torture. These were the three Trials Trius had to overcome. And then was the final test. One that could tear down Trius' Ideals forever...

These trials were not shallow, it brought Trius' mind of the past, present and the future together. One Ideal to realize his true fate (or what you optimists know as .... Destiny).

Through thick and thin, Trius has always thought that failure was not an option. That it was dishonorable to fail. Closing his mind from failure, he learnt nothing. The later it took to fail, the larger the consequence would become. Realizing that, he made a protective shell a second ego that made others think he was but a useless person, one who would be acceptable to fail. But in his mind, he was losing his identity.

Then came the present - 2 years. He wanted but was untouchable. But there was a force that was trying to teach him. Other side trials came and swept him off balance. He felt his first failure. But his unconcious promise to Travel Down under kept him from giving up made a difference. And the hope that was thought dashed...lived again.

Present dAy,

He wasnted but was just beyond his grasp. But there was a force that again tried to teach him. He felt his second failure. But his unconcious Will to keep his parent's schedule again kept him from giving up. It made a difference.....And the hope that was thought dashed...once again return.

So what is this theme of Trius' destiny. A destiny chosen even before the realization of his name. Trius....forever trying....no matter what. Hope no matter how bleak, will always exist if we don't give up, keep trying keep doing and success will follow!

This is his curse, his destiny, to try twice to succeed. And one day, we would finally be able to grasp the untouchable...

As this Chapter draws to a close... I would like to thank everyone for reading my ramblings, rantings, antics, and yet support me time and time again. I Love you all....

Next Life chapter ... http://triustravels.blogspot.com

Trius heads to the Light...and See's JigSaw - Part 2

2006-11-30T18:19:00.000+11:00

November 30 came... the powersaw sliced through the his throat like butter. Gagging he pressed the play button of the tape recorder that he had in his hand.

"Hello Just,

If you are hearing this, then I must be dead. And you have just doomed yourself into another test. If you could have just forgiven me. Now you must face a new test that will test your wits.

Justin, there is just one more game I would like to play. Monday there will be a final paper, a supplimentary paper that you must take. Take this and pass, and you will be able to graduate in time for Christmas.

However, fail and you will have to retake the entirely new modification of exams that will last till the end of next year. You will lose your already withered wings to fly, and the Will of your parents to keep you afloat.

The Choice is in your hands Justin, in your hands!"

ARGH!! I slammed my hands on his already immovable abdomen.

"SCREW THIS!! Even if I become an undergraduate for the rest of my life! I'll definately break free and be a Leader!! I am not afraid !!! BRING IT ON!!!"

"Assuming that you accept this challenge, you will go to Room G15/31 and do the test that will commence at 9.15 am on the 4th of December. Study well..."

Trius Trembles

2006-11-29T02:35:00.000+11:00

Tis' mere hours till the answer to wether or not Trius will be able to be free himself from his first test. His entire life has flashed over and over again through his mind. A pattern finally showed. It has happened before again and again as if cursed with the same loop of fate.

1) Everytime Trius sets himself to work hard, half way through, an easier option appears and the steam is let off in relief with the new and better option.

2) Everytime Trius meets an untouchable chick, he is bound to get in trouble with a test the next semester, usually something related to math.

3) Trius is a total whimp...

4) Trius grows in strength in the south but lose independence and determination when he returns to his homeland.

5) Trius never completed his training, but instead merged wat he learnt together.

These are the five main characteristics that has haunted Trius for half a decade, must have been the Brahman in Nepal that gave me the red dot on my forehead and I refused to pay cause i had no change.

THe question now is, will I graduate and continue my journey to the far lands?

Or will fate hold me back forcing me to turn to the dark side of attachment?

Trius heads towards the Light...and See's JigSaw!

2006-11-11T01:08:00.000+11:00

"Hello Just,

I want to play a game. The rules are simple, Get through the four mazes alive and you will be free to go. Each maze is unique. You have four years to complete them. Once the time is up, you will cease to exist. Imagine, everyone you know, everyone you love no longer acknowledging your existence. Can you live with that? Let the Game begin.

Oh did I mention, your lecturer will be Dr. Abdul Mazid."

Four years later. I stand before a medical bed. My torturer for four years lying on it. I have waited forever for this moment. Every single day I have thought of killing him. And now I had the chance.

"Hello Just," He whispered as his turned to me, so fragile and helpless. "I want to play a game. One final test, I am sorry for what i have done to you. On the counter is an assortment of vicarious tools of which you can use to kill me. Or if you can truly forgive the man who has caused you all this pain and suffering. You can leave and take your chances in the outside world as a new man,"

I browsed at the assortment of power tools on the counter. Powerdrills, deburrers, sharp pointy things. I came to realise that he was totally under my mercy. I had nothing to lose except my chance to kill the man I hate. Or could there?

"This is your last chance. Just, walk away, our fates are linked. Forgive and let live," What the hell was he to threaten me with such a statement. If he died, Nothing else would matter. Or would it? Did he know something that I did not? "Please Just do this for yourself," He pleaded.

"I forgive you," I heard my rageful mouth utter. I grabbed a large power saw and started it up. He starred at me offering his fragile neck. Was I to give in to my hate and strike down this unarmed man. Completing my fate and journey to the Dark side? The Answer....November 30th...

Trius finds the darkness of light....

2006-11-06T23:10:00.000+11:00

Wish my thesis was about pagan lore and all those interesting stuff. I would love to know those stuff so much. I came across an article while researching for my book. Biblical punishments in Hell.

Broken Pride on the Wheel,

Placed in freezing water to calm the Envy,

Dismember Anger Alive,

Thrown into Snake Pits to cure Sloth,

Put in pots of boiling oil to flush Greed,

eat rats, toads and snakes to Stop Gluttony with food poisoning,

and Smothered in Fire and Brimstone to burnout Lust.

Now check it out, they all make sense unless you head to Asia.

In Asia, these would be considered Heaven.

Broken on the Wheel, sounds like Dominatrix shit to me. Placed in freezing water? If David Blaine could do that, Id be pretty impressed with him too. Dismembered alive, well no fight there. Snake pits well u'd be shot into fame too if u had a life of a Zoo keeper. Boiling Pots of oil, if u can parade your Kungfu skills in the street with that, you'd get some money too.

Now these two, Gluttony and Lust. If you mix them together you'd get a pretty Good Feast in Asia. Ppl pay Big Bucks for delicacies like these. Beggar's Rat, Toad and Snake...mmmm YUM!!

I'll continue serving as the Blackhole, but I'll start working on my lust to get a time of my life...lol

Trius' outlook for Malaysia Rant

2006-10-29T03:38:00.000+11:00

Hey guys,

Yea u guessed it right,

Its ranting time.

Come to think of it, i never really needed to rant. But I guess ppl change, and I changed from a blue book diary to a black-page blog.

"Captain's Blog Stardate 1234567.20 with 2 signficant figures. went to bambi.com this morning in hopes of cute deers, skunks and rabbits but was greeted by cats and beavers instead."
tats jus a lil joke, i tell it everytime.

Now, every once in a while (usually exam periods during the process of studying) a totally unrelated thought starts in my head. It grows out of proportion and i end up losing my concentration. Usually I dismiss the thoughts, but it keeps coming back. Thus why i started blogging.

This time its about the future. Our future. Many nations have projected a mission statement, Malaysia's Vision 2020, AUstralia's 2026, God's Apocalypse. All giving hope and fear to the world. Developed countries such as Australia with an organised system will have no real problem working towards their goal.

But what of Malaysia? What is the future of Malaysia? Yes we have a mission statement. But with our current attitude, will our leaders be able lead Malaysia to the right direction. In my life time I have seen many growing leaders, all who are 100% capable of turning Malaysia's fate for the better. Martin Ooi, Rowan Soh, Chew Eu Jin, and many more who are ready to be there for our country. But is Malaysia ready for them?

'A good Leader is one who has good followers'. Some wise guy(man) said that. And from what I have seen in my time in Monash, it reigns true. A leader can only do so much, one requires arms and feet to make thoughts actions. And that is what Malaysia lacks. Consistent followers.
Now Malaysia is caught between three generations, The headstrong Merdeka men, the slacking sons of heros, and the upcoming leaders of men. The ones who hold dear to the strong values are dying out. Soon Malaysia will be filled with Good leaders with slacking followers.

There will be enough leaders, but no one who would care enough to follow. What would Malaysia be? I feel sad tat many of us who are highly educated will be shifting out from Malaysia to find a better life outside. SOme for better family environment, some for the benefits and strength in money seeing no real hope for Malaysia.

But Let us stop and think. Are we going to abandon our mother who has escaped from many tragedies, suffered from raped, torture and disgrace, went through all of this to raise us to who we are today? Are we going turn our backs on our mother tainted with corruption and politics? Or are we going to return and help our mother rise back on to her two feet?
My friends, I stand before you today, not as a leader, but as a voice of hope. I have faith in you, I have faith in Malaysia, I have faith that one day, we will not be known as the 'Tidak apa' community, but as those who raised and nursed our mother to health. 'The son becomes the father, and the father the son'.

I know that with the political mayhem and dangers that lurk in the streets. it may not be condusive for our wifes and daugthers. Yes I fear for their safety too. But that means that alot of work has to be done. From now on, all our work, all our hopes and dreams, we must channel our professions towards the betterment of our motherland. Everyone has a role, everyone is a soldier, Everyone, is a leader!

Trius' confession

I have a confession to make.... I.... I....

"Suck at Math" (Sung to Live to Win)

seriously suck at math.
divisions, transfurmations,
all i want is death...

U ask me how i did today..
Dun wanna lie or f the day,
The stats just kinda gave away...
tat Im gone, i'll be dead ...anyway...

Suck at math!
Cauchy shit, aint just laplace anymore,
Suck at math!
Took a stand, but I fell like leaves at Fall..

Day by day, drifting all a way, math just aint my ball..
But theres another 4 to brawl...
Suck at math.....(Guitar solo)

*Drums..*
Suck!!YEa! MATH!!

Trius' path to self-centredness...My fortune-telling

2006-10-25T01:33:00.000+10:00

Hi, just a random note for the record while studying for math..

Being proportionate to the physical status...and inversely proportionate to the status of the mind, the prediction of my fate shall be told. This is my hypothesis.

I will die in hospital of a broken back or some auto-immune system failure like lupus or some spinal disfunction. Paralysis from the neck down...

Judging from my weakness in math, I may as well be one of the most well known mathematicians or say the least one that will work closely with math no matter how ironic it may sound.

And finally my last prediction, I will be a super-p...no Mega-playboy once i enter the working world.

Trius and the World of the Avatar

2006-10-15T16:00:00.000+10:00

Again the muse of improbablity has infected my mind. Everytime I sit and do some real work, something inside of me stirs up and starts connecting the dots.

(from: http://www.freewebs.com/gmasangel/ accessed 21st October 2006)

This time its about this cartoon called Avatar: The Last Airbender. It speaks of a realm that consist of four factions, Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation and the Air Nomads. For centuries, the factions lived in harmony by the Avatar who is master of all elements. But one day, the fire nation raged war on the other nations. And just when the Avatar was needed the most. He dissappeared.

(from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_The_Last_Airbender accessed 21st October 2006)

100 years have past, and two Water tribe siblings stumbled accross a young boy the last of his kind an Airbender named 'Aang'. Could he be the Avatar that was last fortold to be reincarnated into the Airbenders faction? U'll have to see for urself wont u. heheThe Avatar has to learn first Water, the Earth, then Fire to master all elements.

(from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_The_Last_Airbender accessed 21st October 2006)

This series is interesting as each faction has powers over the assigned elements which are also associated to a chinese martial art. Taichi with Water, Hung Gar with Earth, Northern Shaolin with Fire, and Ba Gua with Wind.

(from: http://www.musogato.com/avatar/index2.html accessed 21st October 2006)

Its really interesting and I like the concept. The only one tat can reinstate harmony among the other factions. Has specialised powers. Alot like a simplified version of my Triblade story. !!!!! Ive been ripped off!! They even have a Great Divide with a hidden library and a settlement in the desert as well. Compared to my Desert Village Reiht and the monolith which withholds the history of the great battle.

Theirs are powered by elements, mine is by Sins and virtues. See the similarities...oh when can i write something that is original.....

Oh well..how about this...

Art, Math, Science, and Words. Long ago there were four Nations of Knowledge, the Artist, Mathematicians, Scientist, and the Writers. Each nation had men and women who were able to control their knowledge. They were called Knowledge benders. And in each generation only one who becomes the master of all knowledge. The Avatar.

Science, used their knowledge to create diabolical weapons and waged a war on the other nations. And just when the Avatar was needed the most, he vanished. No one knew where he went. Some say that he was never reborn into the Wordbenders.

100 years have passed, and the line of avatars was said to have been broken. But hope was not all lost. Two Artist siblings stumbled across a young WordBender named "Ong". They believe that he is the Avatar that will restore harmony in the World.

ANd this is the story of The Avatar: The last Wordbender! hehehe...OOoo yeah...heh heh heh..

Trying to do da math...

2006-09-25T11:44:00.000+10:00

Such was a week filled with downs and ups (in that particular order).

Monday was really a 48 hour day. Working on Thesis slides. Was really beat after that. ..

Tuesday was suppose to be a rest day before the thesis oral presentation on wednesday. Unfortunately i did a 'daniel' and dropped my laptop. It shortcircuited with my presentation still inside ('daniel' is a coined word for when something tat can go wrong goes wrong before an important event). So in order to get it out, I had to go to a place North of melbourne city called Ascot Vale to get my slides out and my computer fixed.

Wednesday, The day of the presentation. Just as everything was alright, a suprize industrial supervisor who was omitted from my project came into play. This gave more tension. But it had to be done. After the presentation, the lecturers seemed stoned as they did not ask any questions. Luckily Cucu threw in a question and thus started some questions rolling.

After such an ordeal, I bummed on Thursday but took a trip north to collect my computer in the afternoon.

Friday, was ball night, and i collected my afterparty ticket and then headed home to get ready.
Dinner Dance was awesome, the dances, the floorshows, and most of all the company. Had a real good time dancing and talking. Then came 12am. Had to reach Amber by 1am. luckily my partner for the night Cassandra was kind enough to send me in. Thank you Cass!

The after party at a club was an interesting experience. Lights, music and action all in a dark room. But shaking in a room was rather pointless felt more comfortable making ppl laugh with 60's dancing.

Ah well. and so was the week. Got home at 4am, talked till 6am and then KOed till the evening next day as we went to watch a movie...called....."someone must die" interesting indeed. Had some initial d fights..dem where did my trueno go?

Finally a night at Rong Yao's place. Playing Kessen 3 and DragonBall Budokai 3...really interesting but was too tried to play much......and so ..it was ..... the end lol

Trius' Troubled Thesis and Friends

2006-09-13T23:29:00.000+10:00

"redesign!" a word engineering thesis students dread. It would probably not mean the end of the degree, but honours perhaps.

My committments are piling up. Academic work, math, thesis, dance commitment, MECC commitment, and Kendo. There's so much work, I have no idea how couples manage to keep it going.

Tats something i will never be able to find out. Im so single, theres so many couples around me, its not funny anymore. Its like I could be stepping on someone's skirt if im not careful, and I'de be blacked'eye a couple of times.

But its alright, I dont mind being what i am, really trains one from thinking twice. As long as my friends are happy, I am happy. I admit, its hard living a life of Hang Tuah, but its also eye opening at the same time.

Ah well... tak boleh tahan anymore, cant stand it anymore.

I so wishh to just head back into the mountains and spend my time looking at the scenery, or spend a peaceful time at the memorial. Would be so peace ful....aaaaa.....

Trius and the Omen of the Broken Specs

2006-08-30T23:14:00.000+10:00

You may be one who sees the world as just another picture and pass it by. You may think that just because a bug on the wall seems normal, and its nothing really special. You may like taking pictures of maimed apples and colorful bottles of alcohol or perhaps collect cute bottles. Well that is entirely up to you.

What I see and write about the world through my eyes and experience is also entirely up to me. But it is events such as this; significant symbols and turning points in life that shapes the course of history, no matter how insignificant it looked to be.

Thomas Edison, Adolf Hitler, Emperor Shih Huang Ti perhaps, prominent figures in history who caused a great impact in the history of man regardless of how ruthless or unethical they were had at least one turning point in life.

Nonetheless, I am not saying that what has happened may seem significant enought to start something, but I am saying that there is hope. Do not shrug events, as they are powerful in their own way.

So let me take you back approximately 10 years back to the year 1998. It was several months after I was put under probation for reticing an innuendic poem infront of the school assembly. Since then, I was broken. And for some reason, my sight began to fail me too. This was the year when I first got my prescribed lenses.

I would not wear a pair of glasses until form 5,(11th grade if you must). It was easier to travel with, and easier to mantain. It also served as a mask for me. A physical and psychological barrier that kept me in a comfort zone, safe from the world around me.

Years passed, and the mask that I resided in took me in I hid beneath it like Frodo and the Ring of Power. I was powerless to it even though I knew it was wrong to do so. No matter how hard I tried to escape from it, I kept coming back to square 1.

So was there hope? Could I be half the boy I used to be? Let me take you back to the present.

The morning 30 August 2006. I woke up feeling fresher than well almost awhile. Could have been the early night before. 8.15 I got out of bed and went into my bathroom. And there they lay. A tray of items that used to hang on the wall were on the floor, scattered. And with it, my glasses.

Broken.

What was the meaning of this? what have I achieved from knowing this? Forgive my unorthodox way of thinking.

Now, a broken pair of spectacles to you may seem nothing more than just more money to repair or replace. But I choose to see it with a deeper perspective. And even though, it may seem nothing more than say for example a broken vase. If you can take an event such as this and turn it into something you can learn. Then you would have the sight of life.

Many may have a different insight to life. Some with a vice faith to God may say that the meaning of life is to get past this life to be with god again. Others may say that life is just a waste of time. And another might still be searching of the answers to the meaning of Life.

Life to me, is a guide to be the best you can ever be. Life is the medium of which we as beings who control this mind and body learn to better ourselves in everyway possible.

Life is like a multileveled game. You start from learning to walk, talk, feed and feel. Then we move on to interaction, learning self-values, and knowledge. Then we learn to widened our views and networks. And then react to situations so that when we are finally dying in our beds. We have experienced all there is to experience all there is to learn and all there is to be a character that everyone loves and looks up to.

So what DID this mean to me? I would like to think of it as a broken mask. A mask that I have recided for almost a decade now(has it been that long), and now shattered. With this turning point will I be able to turn my life around? Would I be able to find myself prominent to the world let alone my own?

Like a bird with a healed wing learning to fly again, the blind must learn to see again after an operation.

And so the saying goes by a French philospher,

"The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend"

- Henri Bergson (18th October 1865 - 1st April 1941)

One must learn to see the world with these new eyes too.

P.S Wow I could make this into a blog entry just with one event.

The MECC Krispy Kreme Mayhem!!

2006-08-24T23:22:00.000+10:00

August 15 2006, The Mechatronics Engineering Clayton Club held their first Career Employment Talk by APESMA, An organisation created as a union for Engineers, Scientists and Managers in Australia. Very much like Engineers Australia is to Australian engineers.

Either way the highlight in the end wasn't really the talk but rather what came of it.

Thats right the Krispy Kreme, a doughnut company from the U.S, it sells like hot doughnuts in AUstralia. Imagine, vehicle waiting time of 2 hours and shop waiting time of 30mins. THere is only 3 outlets in Sdyney, and one in Melbourne, just before Monash Berwick Campus.

So there was the dilemma, out estimated amount of doughnut boxes was about 42 boxes. But with an estimated waiting time of 2 hours IV and 30mins IS, collecting it on the day was a no deal.

So we decided to go the day before! So off we went, Cucumber, Alex and I left at 10 in the morning hoping to catch KK of guard as we travelled Eastwards for half an hour to Narre Warren.

To our suprise, it was a desert. No vehicles in line, 3 customers max in line. Well the Krispy Kreme Kraze must haf died out. Well we took our fair load of 22 boxes, had lunch and headed home.

Having the extra time before class we decided to ...welll play....muahahaha We did

and

and

and

Oooo that was fun....Considering the ppl consuming this the very next day....hopefully not many will see this before the next MECC event with KK. We promise that we will treat the next batches with more respect....Scout's Honour!!

So yea, the very next day, the talk turned out alright,

The KRispy Kremes brought an interesting effect to the crowd and there fore the event was a success. However, it is still thanks to the committee and the president of the Club that made it all possible...so the next time you want a Krispy Kreme Event, ....who do you call??

P.S. I was never a Scout....:P

Yours in Krispy Kreme...

Trius...

Trius' TenTenBayview Strikes again:Juzzy Burger!

2006-08-17T23:59:00.000+10:00

Hello ppl!

Yes! the title speaks for itself....well kinda. You see, TenTenBayview Academy has been an on going Extra Cocurricular Activity house, where we learn to throw parties, cook excellent if not prototype food, network... practically live in this house.

And this evening of 17th AUgust 2006, TenTenBayview became one of the first known Ramli Burger Shop to operate in Clayton. No where else in Clayton in my knowledge have tried making Ramli burger except in Marshall Avenue of which the burgers were done by me as well. THats Right.... IRON CHEF MAMAK - Trius! And even that was for two ppl.

Probably in the history of Clayton, Ramli burger was produced in a multicasting manner to 12 lucky customers. I shall call it JUZZY BURGER muahahaha

How much? Well....cost price. A burger say for example the Meat Special with Cheese costs 2.00 AUD. The Double Meat Special with Cheese? 80 cents more.

So THats 2.80 AUD for a huge burger larger than a Big Mac which would cost, maybe 4 dollars to say the least? And cheaper as well. And if u even bother comparing it to a Big Mac, it would be like comparing a fat guinea pig, to the Nutty Professor.

Well, I cant gurantee that i will be preparing more real soon, But, there would be a slight chance....that I'd be making, ROti Naan next.

The Roti Naan, is an indian bread that does not require much fermentation to make. No long hours of proofing and it take about 2 hours to make ready it's dough.

And All-dough it may seem to be an easy dish to prepare, it is one of the most tasty. It is usually served with Tandoori Chicken and goes very well with curry.

Back in Malaysia, there are several 'Mamak' caf'es that sell naans, but in a different way. "Garlic Naan With Cheese" for example is famous. Some cafes even serve with ham as well.

But no matter if you like it traditionally with tandoori or fusion mix, the Naan like the Ramli Burger, bring a nostalgic sensation to anyone homesick from Malaysia.

Trius' Tribute to Momiji

2006-08-16T01:45:00.000+10:00

"...Ashes to ashes, Dust to Dust Amen." As of today August the 15th 2006, We bid farewell to our beloved Chocolate-Chip Wabbit, Momiji of TenTen Bayview. He was one who was loved by everyone, Nature, The birds, the housemates of TenTen Bayview, and his partner in mischief Ecchi. This Blog Entry, will be a Tribute to his Life and an inspiration to all.

The origins of Momiji is really unknown, but sources say that before, he took up residence at TenTenBayview, he lived in an aviary. There, he spent his time, burrowing, feeding, grooming and played a game of Dodge the boom with his winged roommates that perched in the upper floors.

He might had been good at it, but considering splash damage and the fact that he coat had white, he was considered clean until the owner spotted the greens. Seeing the sadness in his eye, his handler decided to find him a new home. Advertising for a new home gave very good response, therefore the owner made up a questionaire to narrow down the candidates. She made sure that, "Boy Rabbit"(which was his original name) would be in the care of experienced handlers and that he would not be eaten by asians.

The candidates were narrowed down to two, and finally the bid was won by Eu Jin, a tenant of TenTen Bayview Avenue. "Boy Rabbit" now had a new home, 20 Bayview Avenue. He arrived in the last week of April and immediately snuggled into his new home.

He had a cage for the night and a garden to explore. And lived with dominance on his turf. He was the highlight of the house. Everybody loved him. And he had the attention of a life time. He was given the name Momiji, after a boy rabbit in the Anime series 'Fruit Basket'.

But he was still alone. He needed a companion to keep him company from when his human handlers were not around. And so, Ecchi came in. It was bond at first sight. They could not get enough of each other.

For the next few months, they chased each other, huddled together in cold conditions, bonded together when the going got tough, dug trenches to escape to the neighbour's yard. They did everything together. And even though they did mount each other, Ecchi was a male. And it was just wrong.

Nevertheless, time flew and soon they were practically living in the wilderness with the garage all to themselves. One Big happy toilet for the both of them. There was poo littered everywhere and no amount of cleaning would keep the floor empty the next day.

And then something happened. At the end of July, when the housemates stored them in the garage for three days. A big fight broke out. Details are unknown if there was an additional party involved (a rat or a possum) or just the two of them. But the damages sustained were concrete. Sometime in the struggle, Momiji received multiple bites or claw marks on his lower back and a severe cut on his right eye! Ecchi escaped the ordeal with a minor mark on his ear.

Momiji's back wounds dried up but was left open. His eye however was more severe. Pieces of his top eyelid was transposed to the bottom and vice versa. There was a cut mark indicating that it was either clawed or bitten. The inflamation swelled covering the eye with thick cancer looking eyelids and puss.

Initially, the housemates did not know the severity of the damage. But when there was no progress in healing. They knew, he needed a vet.

August 7th 2006, Justin and Weisern two co-tenants of the Bayview house brought Momiji to the Vet. They were tended by Dr.Zoey who immediately checked on his conditions. It was bad. He would require surgery time to fix up the eye, and clear the wounds. But they would have to do it the next day as the vet was closing.

The next day, the severity of Momiji was assesed and the Vet needed a go signal to operate. But Justin could not be contacted. Dr.Zoey went ahead with the surgery. They stitched up the wounds but could not save the eyelid. They cut the outer eyelid, pulled over the inner and sewed it with a button.

The operation cost a bomb, 500AUD. The housemates were shocked but it the operation was done. They had to pay it. Momiji got home with a collar and some medicine in the hopes of reducing the inflamation. He was due for a follow up check up the next week.

But the chance of saving the eye was slim, but his resting time was one week.

One week passed. Weisern returned to the Vet with Momiji in hand. After much check up he was left with three choices.

Momiji's inflamation did not go down at all. but they had a choice of continuing the medication, but was most probably prompt to have his eye removed. WHich would cost a bomb.

The second choice was to cut out the eye straight away, which still cost a bomb,

Or thirdly, put Momiji to sleep.

Faced with three choices, he sought the counsel of the other housemates.

After much counsel and consideration, the final decision was made.

August 15th 2006, Momiji was officially put to sleep. Shock came over the community that knew Momiji well within the matter of hours of his announced departure. Many kind words were given in concern and condolences to the soul of Momiji of TenTenBayview.

And so let us remember the life of this brave little rabbit that was a favorite to everyone who knew him.

Dear Momiji, You will be sorely missed, may you be reborn in a better place. You have taught me a great deal, you have made me a better person. I hope we meet again sometime in the future, my friend and teacher, Momiji.

Trius and TenTen Bayview

2006-08-12T10:36:00.000+10:00

Last year (2005), I arrived in Melbourne to study for the first time. For the past 20 years, I have been studying back in Malaysia and it was getting rather dull. But coming here, Down South for the first time to study was a new thing for me.

I was never a good student. My grades were(are) average, I am helpless in math, and i've lived a life where I did not even know the right way of making rice. But that all changed when I finally got to go South!

Thats like the turning point when Clark Kent decided to go North to build his fortress of Solitude. So there I was, my first home, 21 Marshall Avenue. There, I made my first bowl of Rice, My first Fried Rice, My first Honey Chicken, My first experience with the washing machine, paying bills, So much learning, other than my engineering degree.

And then a year past and I returned home. Just for a while.

This year the year of 2006, I returned, not to Marshall but to 20 Bayview Avenue. My experiences so far have been deeper compared to basic necessities back in the Marshall Days. I learnt alot in this house. Both skill wise and internally.

I learnt to bake, make interesting dishes, weed the lawn, drying clothes without a dryer, learn to snowboard (not in the house), play DDR, and have rabbits.

These may look shallow, I know cause I wrote it in just a sentence. But In each point, there is a hidden meaning, lessons that come with experiencing each chore, such depth that could might as well spell the meaning of life itself. Well maybe not that complete, but would add to the chapters of it.

So if you care, to follow me on this....journey, you will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine.

I have 20 Bayview, to become my test-bed so to speak. Things that our parents would normally tell you not to, you can do. But we are human, and we learn best through mistakes that we make ourselves. I dont mean lets jump into the fire and see what happens. Even our parents will think we are crazy to even attempt that. Things like how to manage cooking, unothrodox ways of doing things. It is fine that later on they correct you, but the first steps and hardships should be done first so that when they do tell us the right path, we can evaluate what is easier and more practical.

On that note, I was named the PCK or, Phat Condiment King as everything had to have something extra, may it be cheese, pork floss, sweet chilli or rosemary...it all depended on the dish. Which reflects on how I see my life. I may be basic on building my own path, but I am strong in applying what's best to an established life.

SNowboarding was a highlight in 2006 as well. 2005, i skiied for the first time. I loved it and was addicted to the slopes ever since. The board is a little bit tricky. Its because you are traveling side ways which we fine not in our comfort zone. The amount of times that I PK(thats Pok Kai or "fall") was much Greater than ever. But trying out new things, falling is just part of it. And I noticed something. When I trusted myself, the ride was smooth. It was when i started to doubt myself and try to stop the flow did I fall.

WIth That note, 'While trying new, things we must go with the flow, trust yourself, dont hold back and see the results for yourself'.

And lastly, Though we got a rabbit months before the skiing, it is what happened after that made a significant run.

See we got a free rabbit from Monash Marketplace. And it was going really well. The rabbit (momiji) was really starting to be a good household pet. But then another adversitement came in and we ended up with two free rabbits in our back yard. It went downhill from there.

A day after we returned from the ski trip, we noticed a swollen eye on momiji. At first we thought it was just an eye infection. Could it be that keeping them indoors causes something like this?

No. Vet's consultation, he has been in a fight, biting of some sort. And that cost him his eye, several open wounds on his leg. It cost us AUD500 bucks to fix him up. 500AUD!! thats outrageous!! My medical fee for getting my wounds stitched cost less than that!

So what did we learn from this? Family Planning. If we hadnt had the impulse to get Ecchi (the second rabbit), we wouldnt be in this situation. Sibling rivalry can be a horrid thing. Never have a baby too close to the other sibling, until he/she is old enough to understand that, it is you your partner and your first child's duty to protect the newcomer. Work with your first child. Let he/she be part of the project. That way, he/she wont get jealous, and still learn independance and character building.

Notice that it is not, Ecchi's or Momiji's fault, not the vets or nature, but we who control our decision and destiny that caused this. Not God, not the devil, but our 100% rational + X-factor decision that caused this. But it is nature for us to blame others. "Blame the devil" he seduced me to doing this. "Blame that witch!" She put a hex on me. THATS BULL! If you want to reword the devil, try curiosity, try uncalculated probabilty, try Your bright idea.

There is no devil, there is only you. Testimonies my foot, dont think that hell is down there, hell is inside our minds. But dont worry this goes both ways! Its a matter of thought. If you wake up knowing that something new and exciting is going to come, you're in heaven. If you wake dreading every moment of it, it is hell.

If you are angry, blame yourself, cause you are the one that chose to be angry. If you are envious, lustful wat ever sins u can think of, blame yourself. But now knowing the truth. SMile cause it works both ways. Smiling requires less muscles but yet it is addictive. ANd we can choose to smile.

So Cheers!! Cause my adventures at TenTen Bayview has yyet to end!

Till next time..... with even more politically incorrect Rants... see ya!

Trius and Tribulations

2006-08-11T22:52:00.000+10:00

Good Evening, Blogspot community!

Im proud to present my very first official blog entry in Blogspot!!! yay!! If you dont already know, I have been blogging on my other blog yea the msn one..well on http://triblade84.spaces.live.com So to tell you the truth, I was thinking of having one for quite awhile. But it was really a friend of mine who was the catalyst that got me to do it...unintentionally. See it all started yesterday, when a very good friend of mine started asking me about this thing called "google adsense". My initial reaction was that I didn't have the slighest idea what it was.

But then she told me, and said that it was to put adversitements on your blog. "Oh I see" I said. She had trouble putting i, so I started learning on what it was suppose to do. ANd before I knew it, I had signed up for it.

Then she said that the problem was not in the adsense but rather on how to put in on her blog. But I did not have a blog in Blogspot, so I know nuts about how it is run.... And so before I knew it, there I was looking at this setup page staring that the words 'Thank you for signing up!'.

So everything solved, not by me however, Im stuck with this blog. But I guess I better make use of it. No point putting it to waste.

So this is how its going to be. this blog will be with all my rants. The ugliest most politically incorrect crap ever told. Well not quite....never will be as good as Kenny Sia or that other one Xia Sue.... but oh well.

This will be a new Beginning, one that will start a new stage of evolution, this will be the Tribulations of Trius in The Lands of Blogspot!
