Cats

Cats are my least favourite animals in the planet. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an animal abuser. Animal abusers are on of my least favourite people in the planet. It is not that I'm scared of or hated cats, I just don't see why some people love cats. I am going to use the CAF tool (Consider All Factors) to show you why I don't like them. And I will be objective on this, I hope.
So let's get started.

1) Cats are very persistent and determinant.
-Comments: an admirable spirit that should be cultivated by all human beings, but not when they kept getting up the tables, stare at your food and stare back at you, in infinite number of times. It was like someone keeps looking at you eating and say:"Hey bro, I guess you can't finish that, mind to share?" or "Whatssup man, and hey, your food looks delicious, how stingy of you not to share." They will even keep coming back after you shoo them away and back to the staring competition once again.


2) Cats have innocent looks
-Comments: I don't think it is working for me. Kittens maybe. I won't let my guards down just because you have a pair of big goo goo eyes. Cats, just look at yourselves in the mirror when you go raiding the dustbins for food or killing a mouse. You just do not seem CUTE to me. Try other moves on me.

Please tell me that this pictures say "Cunning, eerie confusing eyes"

rather than "cute big goo goo eyes".

3) Cats hygiene
-Comments: I personally think cats are very dirty. I prefer insects or fish. I mean I can catch insects and fish with my barehands but never a cat. I do not know why I have this kind of idea, but I think cats are dirtier than a cockroach, maybe because I always saw cats with those skin diseases.

4) Cats' "date"
-Comments: Dude, I know you are looking for your life partner, but keep it at a minimum noise. It may sound romantic and cute for your darling, but it sounds creepy and annoying for me, especially when I am getting to sleep.

Conclusion:
Maybe all cats that I refer to are just Malaysia's stray cats. I don't know. But cartoon cats are definitely exceptional. If there are any cat lovers out there, do leave comments on why cats are lovable.

Night's still Young

"The night is still young" seems to have become my motto. I've been staying up late recently, and by recently, I mean since the starting of this semester. I'll be starring Po, the Panda in Kungfu Panda 3 if I couldn't get any more sleep because I am having this two shadowy black circles under my eyes. Just need to gain some weight to be like Po.

I actually prefer early morning than midnight but I just couldn't help staying up late. I always think that I can get more time to do my stuffs by sleeping less, but without fail, I always ends up waking up late and wastes more time. It is not that my university life is so hectic that I need to be engaged with all the works all the time but this loyal lover of mine will never leave me alone - facebook a.k.a dramas a.k.a FIFA.

While staying up late, I'm always in front of my laptop, sipping coffees and having snacks, not forgetting the sickening instant noodles. Music is my only companion. Coffees do not help at all. Livita or Red Bulls are no fight too. Sleepy but insist to stay up late, what an irony, but that's the problem I'm facing.

I guess I will have to say that staying up late is an addiction too and in my case, more dangerous than cigarette. Last advice: "Don't do this at home!"

Back Home

Months of the assignments, tests and events in UTP have taken their toll on me as I was completely stressed out. Couldn't take it no more, I'd decided to go home for a breather and to deliver a present too as it was my sis's birthday. My other sisters were back too. Everyone was already back there at home, waiting for me to join up but I was stuck on the torturing bus trip back home. The ride back was hell as I had to waste extra time and money due to miscommunication between me and the bus company. My bad... Anyway, I had my smile back on my face at the very sight of my father wandering in the bus station. The next agenda was thai food birthday dinner for my sis. It was a long time since the whole family sits down for a meal together. Great time spent. The night didn't end there as we went E-Box shortly after. My sis kept asking me to sing because I was quite the shy shy one when it comes to singing. Then we went back home for birthday party second round, this time was with cake and candles. And finally I got to jump into the arms of my bed which I missed so much.

Early the next morning, we had KFC breakfast meal before bidding my sis farewell off the plane. I had to say that the AM twister was so nice, worth waking up early, hahaha. Later on, my siblings and I managed to catch a movie "Rio". I like "Rio" because it was funny and interesting. Recommended to watch. We managed to take a stroll too at the paddy field behind my house in the evening. The air, the scenery, the sunset, my family.. Everything was so nice and it spelled home. All good memories came back, brushing off the cobwebs of time. Soon, it was nightfall and we spent some quality times chatting and TV-ing. There was so many things to catch up with.

Time comes and goes. It was Monday and it was time to go. My eldest sis purposely curi-curi keluar from her office to send me off the bus. So gan tong.. Along the journey back UTP, I realised that the 2 days were just enough, just nice and its time to bury myself back into the university life again.

My family, my home, wait for me, I'll be back soon. You'll always be there to give me strength.

My 20th Birthday

After a long rest during the semester break, I was all geared up, bruuumm... bruuumm... bruumm... ready to hit the road.. Having set new goals, determined to discard off bad habits, I started off the Jan 2011 semester great. But as time crawled along, more and more work load clung onto me, dragging me slow. It is because I have poor time management and I'm not temptation-proof. Bad habits like sleeping late and doing assignment only at last minute kept coming back. Soon after, I was back to normal, skipping classes, piling up all the assignments. And life goes on..

The night of 28th Feb was another usual night where you can usually find me fighting time for assignment and presentation. Out of sudden my message ringtone, the twinkle twinkle little start lullaby broke the tensed atmosphere and it was written there: "You have 7 missed calls.." They were all from my family members. My room has very poor line connection for both maxis and digi. Maybe my room is a little too high for the yellow digi man to follow me up. Hence they could not reach me through phone. So I left all works to return the call, and that was when I got my first 20th birthday wishes. I was so happy and homesick at that moment. It was such a wonderful breather admist of the hectic life. And here I attached a special thanks to all friends for your birthday wishes.

I got a surprise birthday song from all my fellow classmates of PCS after my presentation too, not forgetting a Smarties bar from my PCS lecturer as my birthday present. My PCS lecturer asked for my age and told me that I should have prepared to get married. Hahahaha. Later on, my friends drove us out for food-hunting in a nearby town. It was a long time since I had have a satisfying "zhu chao" meal. The next day, I had another surprise in UTP when my friends took out a birthday cake after the board meeting of an event for me and my other friend who was born one day after me.

For my 20th birthday wish, I had written it somewhere. Hope it comes true.

The Helmet

Recently, it is harder and harder for me to focus on studying and gets all the formulas and informations into my mind. It feels like I'm wearing this stupid helmet and all the knowledge just gets deflected away when I tried to put them in. Can anyone please help me take off this helmet? I guess no because I have to do it myself.

I have been trying hard to identify what this helmet is. Guesses made included Facebook, FIFA09, How I Met Your Mother series, random movies, genetic deterioration of my brain cells, pure laziness or wrong mindset. The last two reasons proved to be the more correct answers. Glory achieved accumulate arrogance from time to time. Then, it gives birth to the mindset of me being able to score well even if study last minute. Less and less efforts are being given in. The kiasuism and kiasiism somehow vanished. So, I'll only study when I really feel the tension, and it was like one day before a test.

Since I entered UTP, my routine life was FB and movies, then tests and deadline of assignments approaching, so study and rushing assignments, then finish everything, then enjoy to the max with FB and movies, and the tests and assignments again... the cycles go on. How long since I have seen a star in a clear blue sky although I stayed late almost every night. How long since I have called my siblings and parents for a nice long chat although I have all the time for movies and series. How long since I have watched ManU's match which is something impossible for the old me to miss.

Afterall, I guess this helmet is the new me after I entered UTP. I did change a lot, for the better and for the worse. I enjoyed a lot, and I suffered too. Wearing a helmet is safe, but it is heavy and prevents you from listening clearly too. I think I am kinda lost while adapting to my university life. I need part of the old me back. Hopefully I can get back Alor Star to find myself back during the semester break. For now, I'll enter the battlefield of final exams with this helmet as I do not have time to change or buy a new one. Haha.. Wish me LUCK!!!

*Should have added arrows of FB and movies penetrating the helmet. Hehehehe...............

最近，我终于尝试到玩橄榄球的滋味了!在ksah五年都没有机会碰到橄榄球，所以一直以来都好想玩一玩。我和几位sarawak的朋友在UTP的大草场玩简单的橄榄球，没有撞来撞去那种，只是拍背。他们很耐心的从基本教起，如基本条规，传球和踢球的方式。橄榄球实在很有趣，可能是没有被撞倒吧！

I'm starting to like playing rugby!

最近，我吃糖果吃上瘾了。到店里一次买lima puluh biji，但是两个星期就吃完了。算一算，平均一天吃3.5粒。其实，起初，我买糖果是为了保持口气清新，就是要：饭后一粒糖，口气“pang gui lang” （hokkien）-“香过人”。但是后来读书或上课时就很想咬东西，结果一粒接一粒，上瘾了。现在正在“戒糖”。

I have a sweet tooth, that will never come loose..

最近，开夜车时都是咬面包。赶工赶到累了，闷了，就把面包咬成照片里的形状了。

最近，星期六都有 Manufacturing Technology Lab。周末只剩下一天而已。最长的是从早上八点到下午五点。 其实很懒惰去，但是有些Lab又很好玩，能多懂几样东西，如：CNC and Conventional Milling, Lathe and Welding。我觉得这是目前唯一一课让我们比较了解工程师工作的科目。

最近，我们参加了paintball比赛，队名是PakBeTo (打不倒 in hokkien)。 那是我的第一次玩paintball，满好玩的，只是子弹不足。我被射中两抢，黑青了。

PakBeTo 这名是我以前从某队的Slogan想到的。

Slogan: Tomato。。Potato。。PakBeto!!!

最近，我买了一双球鞋，很喜欢，但是踢球时，觉得不是很好踢。无论如何，这是我的第一双 futsal 鞋，而且不是很便宜哦。当然，有了这双鞋以后，我就比较常踢球了，希望球技能赶快进步多一些，不要每次都觉得技不如人。

十月二日 晴

Sat Oct 2, 2010

1am, back from basketball with a couples of friends. Still having high sports spirit, because long time didn't go for sports. Saw the roundabout in front of hostel, suggest to play football there, and there we go, started the kicking. The football game: 5 guys 1 ball, in the center of the roundabout, cars and motorcycles passing... Heard one motorcyclist saying "Inilah style!".




Suddenly the ball was going out of the road and a Kancil is on its path. Quickly try to stop the ball. Accidentally stepped on the ball and got one of my foot out in the road. The driver slowed down, gave me a smile, and drove off. Lucky me.. and stupid me for trying, should have left the ball! Slept at 3.30am after some time on the web.

<-----This pic pasted is the roundabout.

Morning 7.54am woke up, stuffed three pieces of gardenia bread with kaya into mouth, rushed for saturday lab. Longest lab ever, 8am to 5pm, Drag my body back to room, saw the other packet of expired bread, asked friends to go feed fish beside UTP lake. Fish-feeding at about 6.30pm. UTP fish looks hungry in the picture, fighting for gardenia breads. Gardenia can use this picture for advertistment, but perhaps advertistment in the marine world. Fish feeding is not so fun, so change to fishing catching. UTP fish are just as clever as UTP students, so hard to catch.




But still, UTP students out-wisdomed UTP fish. Gotcha, little fish! 3 more fish "volunteered" to keep him/her accompanied in the end. They are in the hostel now.

9.00pm, started blogging. Think a long time how to write it, at last try the diary type post. Doesn't really seem like one though, doen't know english diary format.

Will be in V5 cafe watching ManU vs Sunderland at 10.00pm. Must win la, ManU!
