i wrote this while listening to Infant Sorrow

just a month ago i had all the time in my life and now it seems that 24 hours a day are not enough for me. did my practicum report, went through the presentation, finishing school program, interviews, etc. exhausting, YES! but every second of all those things were fun. and now i have started working. a decent line of work, like i have always seen myself, i am now officially a hotelier. i am still learning though. ahahas

if you have the time, check this movie out. believe me you'll enjoy every minute of it!

cheers!

October=Boozefest

October is here, time for BEER!

CHEERS!

time? i got plenty of 'em.

Well now i'm going to blab about what i did today. brace yourselves this is going to be BORING and may bore you to sleep like a 2000 paged sappy novel. ahahas. I'm just exaggerating things just so you know how much time i got to write utter nonsense and waste your precious time where you can spend them wisely like for instance, watching some random movies with your lover or even play your favorite online game. Farmville would be my guest. ahahas.

Back to what i was saying, i woke up quite early today due to intense heat that i just could not stand. I am living in a place near to the Equator after all. ahahas. I woke up roughly at 0915 and as soon as I woke up, I flipped open my laptop and you guessed it. Facebook. ahahas. after 5 minutes or so, I remembered that have to do my laundry. Only a little actually cuz i did wash my cloths yesterday. It's just that i forgot to wash the cloths i had in my travel bag. ahahas. Patience people, patience! I told you this would be boring. ahahas. In the middle of the washing process, i took a dump. Right after i answered the call of nature, i checked my phone and there was a text message. How rare! A text message? For me? Wow! ahahas. Meh, it was just a message from Nixon. He wanted to hang out. So that's where I decided to go to town. After i'm finished with my washing, that is.

1150, I arrived to Tuaran town and Nixon was with his lil' bro Jason at a restaurant named "Sweet Talk". Now, who would name a restaurant "Sweet Talk"? But hey, whatever makes the owner happy right? Still, I felt a little embarrassed to enter such a place but I have to. So there i was, sitting like a dork with Nixon and Jason facing their own laptops. By the way, it took almost 10 long minutes before a waitress asked me what i would like to order. I ordered a Teh 'c' Special and it was... TASTELESS. ahahas. I just kept quiet, did not want to make a scene but one this is for sure, no more "Sweet Talk" restaurant in my restaurants list. Good luck with your sweet talk, Sweet Talk. They don't even talk sweet. 1230, buh-bye Sweet Talk and hellooo Champion. Nixon and I had a billiards battle, i lost 6 to 2. I was never good at it but I still love the game. ahahas. About 1400, went to Nixon's House and grabbed a couple of sandwiches while talking about cars. Yeah cars. Boys will be boys. ahahas. 1500, we went to my house to have a file exchanging session while having talks which I can't really recall what they were about then we went back to town to have my lunch. Yeah, he just sits there and watch me eat. Strangely enough, our conversation about cars spawned back while i was eating. ahahas. about 1600 we went to the town's basketball court. Now, I have not played basketball in a looong while. I was out-of-breath after like, 30 minutes. Mind you, I did not jump around. I did not run around. I just stood at one spot and shoot. So after that, we rested for a while. o yeah, Achan and Leyoe was there. We rested until sundown. At 1800 or so, a couple of Chinese dudes came and turned on the lights in the court. Apparently they have the keys to unlock the padlock that was used to lock the box to the light switches of the court. So we started playing again. After a while, they played 4 on 4. O yeah, some dudes also came by after the lights was switched on. I did not play cuz I myself know that i don't have the stamina at that moment. I should work out more. ahahas. So i watched them play until 2100. Nixon sent me home and here i am writing a blog on how I go by my day today. O yeah, seems like a friend of mine wanted to play match maker with me and a girl i know at Sutera. Dudeeeeeeeeeee... ahahas. Funny. Man i don't play around with girls that are in a relationship. I just don't do that. ahahas. But it was funny though. ahahas. Hook me up with a single and available pretty chick instead next time would you? ehehe.

I am in a dire need of a good bath. Cheers!

harrassing the interwebs

for the last three years, August has been the most challenging time of year to me. i wonder why? meh. August will be over in a week++.

cheers :)

i can be such a bitch at times. sigh~

another Sunday has come and a new week is about to begin. time is closing in on me, tick after tick after tick and finally a tock then i'll be on my own little way with my life.

studies. hah, studies. why am i having second thoughts about studying? i should know what i want by now. i don't want to be what i am today. but i also cannot say for sure what i wanted to be tomorrow if i keep up with this "second thoughts" i guess. am i through with the paper chase already?

"being nice to to the one you hate does not mean that you are a hypocrite but rather you are matured enough to tolerate" - anonimous. a quote i read a few monthsa go, still i keep it in my mind. i think this is so true, but not always true. i don't think i am matured enough to think like that. but i want to. at least. ahahas.

fffuuuu

there are two monkeys behind me right now so this will be the end for now.

cheers

deceitful mind

This Sunday morning was beautiful but now it has become so gloomy, a gloomy Sunday. The rain contributes much of this gloominess i am feeling now. "time flies when your're having fun", true, so true indeed that it breaks my heart to know the good times i am having will end soon, soon enough for me. my soul is now like the stormy sea, waves after waves rocking the biggest of vessels. i have kept all of this bottled up inside of me but like a bottle of champagne, the bottle will pop if it is shaken hard enough continuously. today my bottle will finally pop. but not with joy, only despair. i am a deceitful person, not only to others but me, the one who i call myself, the one i am closest with but also the one i hardly even know. the one thing that i know right from the start that is wrong, very wrong indeed is devouring me inside, deep inside my heart. i cannot even tell is it me or is it something else that is controlling my emotions. if passion, love, hate, happiness, gloominess are just chemicals reacting to each other inside of me, then those chemical glands inside of me are malfunctioning, it hurts, it hurts me so.

cheers of joy to you, cheers

"when life is toying with you, play along"

"when life is toying with you, play along"

my life for these past few weeks has been challenging. but i'm glad i got through it all. now that i can finally have a few hours for myself, i'm gonna blast my speakers with rock'n'roll music. (still listened to rock'n'roll but not as loud cuz unfortunately i was not home alone and i had to consider my family's feelings.) then played PES 10 after weeks of "absence" in the field. ahahas

cheers

nightmare is a great dream!

Fiction - Avenged Sevenfold

Now I think I understand, how this world can overcome a man

Like a friend we saw it through, in the end I gave my life for you

Gave you all I had to give, found a place for me to rest my head

While I may be hard to find, heard there's peace just on the other side

Not that I could, or that I would, let it burn, under my skin, let it burn

Left this life to set me free, took a piece of you inside of me

All this hurt can finally fade, promise me you'll never feel afraid

Not that I could, or that I would, let it burn, under my skin, let it burn

I hope its worth it, here on the highway, yeah

I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you

So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah

I hope you find your own way when I'm not with you tonight

I hope it's worth it, what's left behind me, yeah

I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you

So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah

I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight

i've become an aspiring anime critic! NOT! 3

Highschool of the Dead

Occult Academy

Highschool of the Dead and Occult Academy episode 1 were not half bad. Gonna write more about these two later on (when i have time to spare. ahahas).

so here i am now, with a bit of time to spare to deliver what i promised. now these two animes are now at episode 4. i should understand the storyline by now right?

okay first off, highschool of the dead. this anime have a lot to offer. action, romance, gore, fanservice (it never hurts every once in a while. hehe), and like every other anime, some humor. i love the action and gore in this anime. lots of blood, lots of bashing, lots of biting and for now, 1 gunshot. the fight scenes are really engaging i can say. it's only episode 4, i already can see the development building up in a good pace. mind you i haven't read the manga so i don't know the story at all. i didn't even read the manga review for this. so i'm really crossing my fingers as i see a good potential in this series. the protagonists found survivors at their school including one probable antagonist and they moved to the city. lets see how this story builds up. i don't wanna touch the romance side of this story, animes tend to leave the relationship status of its characters "hanged". about fanservice, not excessive, just the right amount in my opinion (i'm not really a big fan of fanservice or ecchi anime). so all in all, for the moment this anime is at ★★★★✰.

up next is Occult Academy. i like to think this anime as the lighter side of highschool of the dead. it's less intense whereby there are far less gore and fanservice but it's not a negative thing, as this anime is rich in humor and the animation is really done well. the fight scenes is more or less at par as HSotD. the pace of this anime is quite slow, i can't really see where the story leads but it is interesting. the protagonist is from the future trying to find a "key" in the past to stop the destruction of earth with a cameraphone. yes, a cameraphone. and again, i won't touch the romance side of this anime. overall for me, ★★★★✰.

cheers

i've become an aspiring anime critic! NOT! 2

Black Lagoon is back! There will be 5 OVA episodes and the first episode was pure awesomeness. The OVA's are titled as Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail. The animation is great, as always. The fighting scenes, or rather the shooting scenes are incredible. Simply awesome, there's no need to say much about this anime. I highly recommend watching this! ★★★★★

cheers!

so i was right then? ahahas

Jack Daniel's a Tennessee Whiskey, not a Bourbon. weeks ago i had this conversation with my senior, he said that JD's a bourbon, which i obviously disagreed but unfortunately can't really prove what i was trying to say. i have read the difference between a bourbon and tennessee whiskey before but i couldn't recall the facts and so now here i am after a few readings can finally confirm that JD is not a bourbon. the label on the menu in the club is just inaccurate. lets call a tennessee whiskey a tennessee whiskey and a kentucky bourbon a kentucky bourbon and leave it at that shall we?

cheers and drink responsibly!

who are you people actually? and etc. ahahas

okay. here's the thing, i can't read nor speak chinese. i appreciate those comments you guys gave me but i can't really comprehend what you were saying without the help of google translator and you can't really trust the translations given by the site which means, i can only guess what you guys are trying to say. don't take this the wrong way, like i said before, i appreciate your comments. it would really help if you guys comment me in the same language i'm using. =)

so enough about that. now i'm in my second month of industrial training and i was assigned in Magellan Club on 17th june (or was it 19th june? too lazy to check. ahahas). the club lounge work is quite enjoyable. once we're busy, we're BUSY. once we're free, we're FREE. just recently, on the 29th june to be exact, i got the chance to meet Malaysia's Prime Minister Dato' Sri Mohd. Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak. he was here in kota kinabalu to officiate a tilawah al quran event. that day was HECTIC. other big names in the world of politics was there too.

tomorrow (actually it's today now) is my long awaited day, my day off. supposed to meet up with some friends to go to a reception but i'm afraid i can't make it due to some chores i have to finish. and i decided that i will go to the sunset mass. what a decision. ahahas. you know it has been a while since i last step my foot in church. pray for me will you? so that i will go to the mass. ehehe.

another story, the south africa world cup. i say i'm a neutral but i guess i'm not. i'm a bit down cuz brazil was knocked out 2 to 1 by netherlands. deep down in my heart i was rooting for brazil. ahaha. on a lighter note, a friend of mine said if netherlands wins the world cup, marijuana will probably be legalized throughout the world. i'm not sure if he's hoping for it or he's just saying that it's impossible for netherlands to win the cup.

oh before i forgot, a few days ago i watched crank and crank: high voltage. they were awesome though i do like the first one better. looking for a fast paced movie with non stop action topped with clever lines? these movies will surely entertain you like i've been highly entertained by them but i must say the director overdid some things to the second. still, enjoyable.

i'm out of things to say

cheers!

very catchy in a freaky way, don't you think?

Very Good Advice - Robert Smith

I give myself very good advice
But I very seldom follow it
That explains the trouble that I'm always in
Be Patient is very good advice
But the waitin' makes me curious
And I'd love the change
Should something strange begin
Well I went along my merry way
And I never stopped to reason
I should have known there'd be a price to pay
Some day
I give myself very good advice
But I very seldom follow it
Will I ever learn to do the things I should?
I went along my merry way
And I never stopped to reason
I should have known there'd be a price to pay someday
I give myself very good advice
But I very seldom follow it
Will I ever learn? Will I ever learn?
Will I ever learn to do the things I should?

the irony

you know what, i get pissed off when somebody bitch on facebook about their problems, RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS. for God's sake everybody can see it. you may cover it up or digress a little bit they are too fucking obvious and 2 or 3 people may sympathize but the rest? well i can say for sure they think less of the pathetic facebook whiner. okay well, maybe it's acceptable if it's 1 whining post per month. but a few times in a week? far worst, few times a day? alright i get it, your account, not mine but i can see them. they are on my news feed unfortunately for me. keep it to yourself and/or with your confidants if you're having relationship problems. give the people you trust a private message not shout to the world about it. i feel embarrassed for those of you who still do this. now here's the irony, i'm whining about the people who publishes their problems on the internet. why? i simply cannot take it anymore. read this you bastards. you'll thank me later i guarantee it.

cheers to you for making me snap on the internet

posting every once in a while never hurts, right?

i am now in my second week of practical training in Magellan Sutera Harbour. met some new faces. assisted many guests, mostly Koreans. met some familiar faces too, 2 bosses from Nexus Karambunai. i was quite upset at first cuz i was assigned as a concierge. but gradually i kinda like it. minimal stress but my feet are killing me. 8 hours straight standing up can really cause fatigue. but i honestly enjoy it!

cheers!

From Below the Wind to the Pearl of the Orient

A group of 41 students and 3 lecturers from the Faculty of Hotel and Tourism Management, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Kota Kinabalu went for an academic visit to one of UNESCO’s heritage site, Georgetown, Penang from the 26^th to 29^th March 2010. Under the Cross Cultural Studies subject, this visit was to experience the culture, heritage and history of Penang which includes the Malay, Chinese, Indian and Baba & Nyonya. The students were able to experience authentic Penang culture besides learning about them in class which includes the food such as Nasi Kandar, Pickles, Roti Benggali, Char Kuey Teow and lots more. The UiTM group stayed at 1926 Heritage Hotel, which once served as the quarters for British colonial officers and local administrators. On the first day, the students were given the chance to eat Penang’s very own Nasi Kandar at Kapitan Restaurant and afterwards they were brought to see how the famous Roti Benggali was made and also handmade Songkoks. On the next day, they took trishaw rides along the heritage trail, there are many colonial buildings that are still standing in the heart of Georgetown such as the High Court of Penang and the Customs Building and they took stops at Penang State Museum, Islamic Museum and finally Fort Cornwallis. After that, they visited the mesmerizing Cheong Fatt Tze’s mansion, also known as the “Blue Mansion”, the fascinating Pinang Peranakan mansion and the beautiful Khoo Kongsi temple. On the third day, they visited the Penang War Museum. They were explained about the transitions of the site from being a British fort, a Japanese torturing site to being a museum. Being in the historical sites especially in the Penang War Museum, the students are able to appreciate more of Malaysia’s history, conserving our heritage and importantly our Prime Minister’s 1Malaysia vision.

so this is an article i wrote a few weeks ago. this was supposed to be published in a newspaper which i'm not sure which one and i don't know when it'll be out. i was assigned to do this by my lecturer, i accepted the task but somehow i'm not satisfied with the result. i suck at writing i admit it.

by the way, my 5th semester's final is coming and i'll have my industrial training next semester. wish me luck so the resort offers me a job after i finish OJT. i don't plan on continuing my studies for the time being. my brain is working kinda slow recently. haha

HMD5H1/H2, good luck for the finals and for our industrial training!

cheers!

too much free time now

Ben Dover was called by a gay teacher to his office.

The teacher said "come in Ben, do you know why i called you here?"
Ben said "have I done something wrong sir?"
"Ben Dover..." said the teacher and before he could finish, Ben said "no sir, I will not BEND OVER. I am not a homo sir" and he quickly left leaving the gay teacher speechless.

not to discriminate but kinda thought this is funny.

a very disorganized essay

the time now reads 4.53pm here. i'm listening to good music while my mind wanders to the unknown. well, basically i don't have any idea of what to write here. lots of things happened in a short time. for me at least. like i said in the last post, i was diagnosed with young hypertension and tomorrow i have an appointment with my doctor. life really do have a good sense of humor. sometimes i feel that "life" is laughing out loud at me. or maybe i'm just being selfish. BEACH. I WANT TO GO TO THE BEACH! it has been some time since i last take a stroll on the beach. but now is really not a good idea. the rainy season has come. the car i drive is practically smeared with mud all the time now. cuz you know, i'm not a trendy city kid. and another thing i hope for is to have a "life companion". haha. funny right? i had the chance but i threw it away. glad we're still on good terms. i guess this matter would've been easier if i have money. yeah people say money can't buy love but we need money to top up phones and such right? at this rate i might turn out to be a "hikikomori". haha. gahh! i'm tired of typing! haha.

cheers!

ことばのせいりふ

こんにちわ！

i was diagnosed with young hypertension about a year ago. i took up medications. but was an idiot. stopped using the medication and here i am, a year later, lectured by the doctors i met. all of them asked the same thing, "why did you stop taking those medicines" and i simply answered "i don't know". maybe i stopped because i thought that taking medications are too troublesome at that time. i'm not sure myself. but seriously, i regret what i did. this is my life i'm talking about. and now i swear not to let myself take this thing so lightly. for you who're reading this, take my stupidity as a lesson. if you or your relatives or friends are experiencing what i went through, just bear with it. you're extending your life span after all. i on the other hand, is just an idiot who recently noticed he made a grave mistake and swore not to repeat those mistakes. =)

cheers, 乾杯！
