J (another sad story from her)

Sorry Yong, i do not intend to copy your inspiration for posting but i have been holding back on this post idea for quite some time already ever since i got the news from her (the girl in that post) about her break up AGAIN.

Not that i want to claim to be an expert in relationship predictions but i guess i was right about this guy as well. It NEVER seemed right from the very start but she seems to be not able to make the right decisions when it comes to relationships though all seem to have a good start.

Let's not condemn her further instead pummel the idiot guy who made a super crazy decision from my point of view. The decision to not wed the girl of his dreams, which i believe would not happen to him again. What was the conflict? Religion vs love. Being filial and religious is one thing but to pass on the chance of a lifetime from a very understanding and willing companion, i really have no word to describe. Perhaps you can accuse me of being too biased or regard her too highly but being a person who had been very close to her and was once in the guy's shoe, i could not help but to think that way.

If religion is so important why not become a monk/pastor/priest or whatever title that associates you closer to God. I love to quote from a cartoon series where a supposed monk exclaimed, "If you want to be closer to God, why don't you just go and die!". That is the most logical statement i have ever heard about religion.

If you want to talk about being filial, this girl have been through it all and of course taught me many things about being filial either via her own personal experience stories or heart felt advices. So there is actually no problem on this matter.

If you want to talk about income capability, then the 2 of them working and with her independent family in an above average status will not require her to contribute monetary wise. Heck her father even bought her a house when she was still single, in fact all her siblings also have a house to their name.

Too bad i have not seen her online for quite some time already, else there will be a lengthy chat again. This blind fly does seek my advice but like most people who consult me, they do not want to listen to my heed and more often than not end up realizing the prediction i casted upon them.

She really does deserves a break from all these not so good lucks. I hope she will have some good news the next time we chat again.

p/s : For those who are wondering what does J mean? Its her her initial without giving away too much detail.

After a VERY long time of not hanging out with my friends, i could finally regain some freedom and let loose a much needed break. I think its been well over a year since i been to any drinking session, don't even mention about beer or liquor, even yamcha also most of the time could not make it.

I had a great time during this session despite being very drunk at the end of it. Here are the pictures as proof. Happy birthday my dear friends!

Periods

The kind of periods that i want to talk about are no doubt about female periods. Not in the sense that its a monthly repetition kind of thing but more of the effects on the person and the people around them.

Some girls will claim that they will have bad stomachaches until it really disrupts their life, some claims to have no ill effects and etc. So what the hell is really happening? For those who show signs physically, of course one will get the plain fact to avoid any issues with them. For those who claim that they suffer no ill effects, to me still show some signs of change in their attitude.

The change in attitude can be seen or heard when they flip out, out of a sudden when in normal times they would be more calm in resolving some issues. A normal touch also can set them off. In some cases, you just want to care for them, sigh.

Are there anymore signs which one should look out for? Ladies give the guys a hand, please.

CHAMP10NS and Kings of EUROP3!

Yeah yeah, i know its a bit late BUT as the saying goes, "Better late than never". No more song sharing this year as Multiply have shut down the music sharing portion. If you are a true fan you would have all those songs by now :)

Breaking my superstitious beliefs for the last 2 games of the season, i watched them tentatively from beginning till end. Nail biter chances and misses, my fingernails are testament that i was really tensed up watching the games.

Our win on the last game of EPL season coupled with Chelsea's draw was nothing compared to my experience of watching the UEFA Champions League final. I rarely get up in the early mornings of 3am to watch football anymore these days due to work but i thought to myself this game is a must watch. It was described by another fan that, "Its more exciting than my wedding, but don't tell my wife about it".


If it was not in the middle of the night i believe my voices screaming in agony would be heard by my surrouding neighbours as Tevez then Carrick's efforts were double saved by Cech's super reflexes. Giggs as always preferred his left foot more than his right could have sealed the game without going to penalties, if only he did another wonder goal, like the one he scored against ARSEnal with his right foot then he would have a statue erected right there and then.

After watching RvN's missed penalty against ARSEnal some seasons back, i always felt that i would jinx the taker by watching it so from then on i NEVER watched another live penalty kick. We got more accurate scoring more than 95% of the penalties and i glad i missed all of them, a small effort for my team to win :)

During the time of the 14 penalties i could have walked up to 1km from my living room to the kitchen as i was restless and keep on praying to the football gods for my guys NOT to miss and for Van der Sar to save Chelsea players' efforts. Ronaldo missed and my heart sank, i never imagined that Terry would be taking the 5th penalty for Chelsea and i was praying like i have never prayed before (well i really don't pray as i don't believe in any kind religion). He missed and i kept on praying all the time away from the TV and even the sounds of the TV (i would normally switch channels to completely miss the penalty and then watch the playback later). I was in the kitchen and Anelka stepped up, i prayed even harder with my eyes closed for VDS to save it and then a roar erupted from the TV, i ran to the living room and HELL YEAH we have won it!!!

If it was not for Terry's miss, Chelsea would have won it but the ghosts of Munich Air Disaster team tripped him and prevented the penalty from being converted. We are now the Kings of EUROP3!!!



Let the champagnes flow and the parades begin, it was 6am i definately can't go to work in my zombie like state. My boss understood my position and let me off :p

Once a DEVIL always a DEVIL

My first step in the Mac World ^_^

I am not known to be lucky person when it comes to lucky draws BUT yesterday was somewhat different. For the first time in my life i won something which i hoped i would win via lucky draws. Though it was not the Ipod which i would really LOVE but i consider it as my first step into the elite world of Mac owners :p

Behold my lucky Ipod Shuffle. The thing about lucky draws are that you can't select colors but shucks, i was lucky enough to be picked so color is a second matter :)

Nice angle on the box

Content of the box minus the Shuffle

The total package =D

Time to charge the Shuffle and to fire it up ^_^

Edit /Update :

Your's truly accepting his lucky gift ^_^

Them dumbz, seriously.

The issue of Malaysians not willing to stay or work for Malaysia is not new. It did not started when the newspapers started to report that graduates are unwilling to return to Malaysia after completing their studies overseas. Or the cases of brilliant young minds leaving the country.

Case 1 : Olivia Lum (YES SHE IS NOT A SINGAPOREAN BY BIRTH)
For those who watched TV on weekends could have watched her story in of those documentaries that talks about great Malaysian Chinese who made significant contributions. If my poor memory serves me correctly, she was born in Taiping and was one of the few lucky females who get to study in Universiti Malaya during the 70s. She received her diploma and got what many old folks would call an iron bowl job, though the title is actually a clerk in KL. Due to her ambition and dream perhaps, she wanted to start up her own company which would bring benefits to the community, can't remember what was her original plan though. At that time, females are not highly regarded in a male dominated field and thus realizing her potential limited by such chauvinist views, she moved south and opened her company called HyFlux, a water treatment company. Her company invested in a revolutionary technique in water treatment and won a bid to treat water in a certain part of Singapore (which my memory again failed to register). Due to her low cost and effectiveness of the technique, her company flourished.

Case 2 : Graduate Doctors who studied overseas.
It was recently revealed that graduates may bypass the government hospital internship by spending more years overseas and return roughly 10 years (6 years of studies and 4 years of 'accompanying' spouse) to work as higher ranked (thus higher paid) and bypassing the mandatory internship in government hospitals when compared to local graduates. So why return when Benjamins or QEs are worth much more than Ringgits?

Case 3 : Straight A students of different color
This case happens every year though now that the media is getting more and more critical about this situation, there seems to be no shortage of it. It has always been the case of unfairness which is an open secret. Straight A students of incorrect color WILL lose to another student who achieved straight Bs to enter universities and/or choice course. They made the newspapers cover to be the best student in Malaysia BUT could not even get the course which they applied for which in my opinion is a no contest and should be accepted IF NOT offered seats by the universities themselves. Recently i believe being the correct color may not escape the same fate of being rejected as well, funny how the wheel turns, no?

Case 4 : How much do you think a Malaysian youth is worth for Malaysia?
According to a Chinese newspaper report which my mother shared with me, 40k. Yes, they are worth just 40k and 5k extra was given from other parties who took pity on youths who went for the mandatory (with unknown and more often than not lousy selection criteria) National Service. If my child was selected i would rather pay a doctor 5k to write an indefinite exemption letter to this so called bullshit NS. Youths who wish to go on these NS are not allowed to as they were not selected and those who do not wish or have complications are not allowed to escape this potentially 'death sentence'. I wonder what would happen if a famous Datuk's child passed away due to some mishaps during the NS?

So with just 4 cases which filled my head at the time of writing, one should be able to make their own judgement on this trivial question asked by the government.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Actually i had something to blog but after 2 paragraphs, i scrapped it as again i seem to have thought up another topic which may not be so useful to blurt out. At least its off my chest after typing it out. So instead i went and do this test which i believe i had done before some time ago.

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Seems to be quite descriptive of me. What do you think?
