mindfuck

woah...been ages since my last visit here.

ok straight to the point of what the fuck im doing here after a year plus of inactive,tumblr is way more fun by the way,try it out.i have this old wound that haven't really healed completely,even with time.and from time to time the scumbag brain will dig up this old wound itself,which will normally took a day or two to heal back,temporarily until the next cycle,something like the ladies PMS.
this old wound of mine involves 2 of my used-to-be-best-trusted friends,even more than my family,I shamefully admit.and things somehow went spirally out of control few years back,the where,when,how and why it all started was still a mystery until now,which at first I don't want to know and avoid,mainly to save myself from the further pain and humiliation.see I was stuck in the middle of this fuckin mess,almost feel like I was the cause of this whole mess itself.
since all I ever wanted was both of them to be happy,at that time,so I was prepared to become the sacrificial item,choose to walk away from all this mess and leave them be.
and the dark days of my life begins,everyday I feel like I'm just a walking zombie with my head and heart being dug out within me.i have never or very rarely talked to others about what and how I feel inside because I feel like I'm exposing my own vulnerability and make myself looked weak and a fool,so everyday I put on this mask that shows my tough-and-cold looking exterior but inside I'm just another human being,with my own weakness and fragile spirit that u can just destroy with a gentle blow.
time after time I slowly picked myself up and beginning to find my own path and direction but that old wound will come back and haunt me,too,refusing to heal completely.after that big debacle happened I tried not to contact both of them again because that's what I think is the best for all of us,or both of them at least.its better to let them be happy and not letting them see that broken and acarred me.after the wound did not healed completely for some time,it'll rot and that's when anger and frustration kicks in.i am so angry at this whole situation,angry at myself why did I let this all happened,why I was so stupidly oblivious of something is starting to go wrong and mostly,angry at myself why did i never did adequately right to salvage the situation before it went haywire and to the point of no return.during that period I think I might have depression or some shit,so much anger and frustration in me that I'm starting to just surrender myself to that evil side of me and let it consume me alive.all those anger in me I'm just a step away from calling both of them and yell out everything I could on the phone and vent all those angst,aimed at them.
but in the end,I did nothing.probably because I loved both of them too much to do that,refused to let them see that dark side of me and take this mess to another low point.
but still there are still many things that I wished I could tell them both.sometimes I wonder if it's better if I could just know all the truth and bury that bitching wound once and for all.but it's also because I trusted them too much before,once that deep trust is broken,I don't think it'll come back,ever again.heck,I'm not even sure if I'm going to believe what they say anymore,even if I asked them to be frank for just once for me and come clean everything in a go.
people always say time heals everything,but damn after couple of years,that wound will still bitch from time to time.maybe it's time I let my guard down and be ok with letting people that is sincere in helping me and accepting that fragile part of me.or probably because I was too hung up with my solitary life that I have to start letting people to go deeper inside of me.in the end,scar will somehow leave a mark on us,to remind ourselves of our past mistake,and not to repeat it,right?heck I've survived bike crash that left some wounds on me,too.though I still love to ride my motorbike,that awful feeling of somehow I'm going to die in an instant still lingers.
sometimes when I look back I wonder,what am I to both of them.am I just another human on this planet,or am I a human to them at all?what I've done to deserve all of this,is that how u treat a fellow human,let alone friend?am I even a friend to u guys from the beginning?but still I have to thank both of them for teaching me lesson the hard way in life and force myself to pick myself up and stand on my own again.
enough with the venting,it's getting unhealthy for me.note to self: get a girlfriend.adios motherfuckers.this is me fucking off to face the daily grind tomorrow. 

Singapore: Day 1

Overall,the Singapore trip went pretty well i must say,hella good. Though some of my plans for the trip there are affected by the damn rainy weather,such as the trip to the night safari and the plan to cycle around SG during midnight(it's a tiny islandic country,so if there is rain it rains the whole damn country)But hey,you cant have it all. Main thing is i still enjoy myself very much during the whole trip.
Man,it's been ages since my last post here...
I'm kinda lazy to explain how my trip went so lets just leave the talking to the pictures.



The day is 31st December, last day of the year 2010.


Stuck at a mamak store at Little India. Talk about bright start on first day....





Fit of the day. This might be cliche for those who know me well. But i can't help it, i really like this laid back style, simple yet fine for all occasion.





My personal tour guide and good friend from NTU,Zliang. For more better pictures of this day check out photos from his facebook page.




He managed to borrow a DSLR(some nikon,forgot the model name already) from his mates back at the campus thus we're pretty much fiddling with that cam the whole day trying it out. It is my first time playing with DSLRs too, a bit too high-tech for me at the beginning. But one thing that is a cold-hard fact: they do capture really good quality photos.






Went to the esplanade after the rain eased. By the time we're at the esplanade the weather is still kinda unpredictable. Never really a big fan of rainy days...think they still gonna continue with the fireworks if the weather persists?





Inside the durian-ish building. Just got my new spec the day before i came here,not bad for a new look eh? hahaha.





Yep, this durian-ish building. What's the name of this building again? those who know, kind enough to leave the answer on the chatbox? man,guess this shirt of mine is really shrinking...






Had our early dinner at the underground shopping place at City Hall MRT before proceed with our countdown plan. What I had might look creepy and weird but trust me, it tasted much better that you think.





By the time we finished our dinner, the rain already officially dead. People have started to camp and mark their territory around the bay area for the new years eve celebration with sheets of newspaper or mat on the ground to sit on, and photography freaks are also starting to lurk around to find that perfect angle to set up their tripod in effort to capture all that is about to happen tonight. It is barely 6pm and people started to fill up rapidly around the vicinity of marina bay.






Dude toying around with that DSLR too much and in the end his eye become sore and numb, haha. That camera almost got him hooked up on photography.





The view of the majestic city before the sun went down.
.
.
.
.


And it looked many many times more stunning and breathtaking by night.






Really love the scene of the city by night time. By 8pm almost all of the places around the marina bay allready jam packed with people.






Now THIS is truly a majestic piece of modern day architectural wonder. Passed on the chance to go up to the peak of this building to scope around the sights and sounds at ground level. I could do something better with the extra $20 i saved on the entrance fee to the top level of the Marina Bay Sands, such as get myself a brand-spankin' new jacket few days later.





The inside view of the shopping complex beside the casino of the marina bay. Notice there is a canal below which you can get on a boat or equivalent size ship to cruise around the waters of marina bay.





This looked familiar....what you think it look like?






It'll be so cool and fun if i can get the key to this cute truck and drive around the area. Saved a lot of energy and body fluid walking around the marina bay area that is constantly crowded everywhere you go. Always disliked going places that is too crowded.





we found a great spot to view and take photos in front of the merlion. And because of the sudden influx of people, the whole area is then closed to prevent anymore people going into the area that we are in. The same goes for us inside the area as well: we have to stay in there or risk not able to get back to the same spot. We're stuck there around 10pm. While waiting fot the clock, i kill my time by taking this photo of our kicks. Always had my favorite pair to wear, the black and white Janoskis everytime i went on a trip. Too bad all the beatings started to take a toll on them, might eventually skate this pair to end their life as my trustworthy beater.





A rough idea for you guys on the crowd that started to build up before the whole place is packed like a giant-sized tuna can. But hey, at times of celebration like this the more the merrier isn't it?






the view of the marina bay after the clock struck 12 and all the firecrackers had gone off and the dust has settled. No, you do not see three moons, those are water driplets/ reflections/ whatever things you guys into photography can come up with. I did not took any photos of the 8 minute long fire cracker show as i was too busy looking at it myself and helping ZLiang record them into his another digicam.





And the crowd went a little bit out of control after the show has ended. We end up walking to another MRT station that is not that near from the nearest station. And we were lucky enough to board the last train home.



This was the first time I'm celebrating new year outside of Malaysia and no doubt i had a really good time. Too bad there are no counting down before the fire crackers started to went off. But still it was a great one. Bye 2010 and well-fuckin-come, 2011. This does start off my year with a bang. may the good keep on coming and the best is yet to come. Happy belated new year to all you guys out there,too.

Messy shoerack

This is what the shoe rack at my place looks like....



The main problem is the amount of shoe is just keep on increasing,never decreasing.It's like a bunch of families are living under one roof while the fact is only 6 dudes live inside this tiny condo.

Went out to take the structural analysis textbook from my classmate, and since the weather is showing signs it is about to rain, i din rock any of my suede leather kicks(obviously), and i hate wearing sandals on the wet floor, that is when my old-trustworthy trainer comes along to the rescue.



My beat-the-crap-out trainer Air Max 90.Regret getting them true to size,we should always get trainers half size or 1 size up than our true size,because due to the design of trainers we need extra space for our toes to move(learned this from working at adidas).But its still a good pair of trainer.

Maybe it is time for me to clear some of the really old shoes and re-organize the shoe rack....

20th Anniversary GPM

Happy 20th anniversary for GPM, or Grundfos Pumps Malaysia. It is the 20th anniversary of the company, and they will did this special anniversary celebration once every 5 years. I also attended the last celebration 5 years ago at the Palace of Golden Horses. I'm actually cant attend that function, just that there is a spot left for my dad's company, and i'm just filling the void. A good way to spend my usually dull friday night too.
The function is held at Nikko Hotel, dealers,clients from all around the nation came to this function, yet i only know handful of people there,mostly staffs of my dad's,and my dad included. I pretty much went there just for the food,obviously....


I only managed to take 1 photo to let you guys see the inside of the hall, plus my phone camera is really shitty when it comes to capturing photo in dark places like this. Well the food is great, a lot of great choices like lamb kebabs, johor laksa,sushi,some indian food and so on....too much that i cant remember all of them, oh cant forget the free flow of beer, as my housemates always say :"mabuk free". There were a bunch of peope dressed in costumes there to entertain people, even Darth Vader was there, wonder why there is no stormtrooper accompanying that cool dude in shining black armor. There was also 'The Thing' of Fantastic Four, too bad when i wanna take pictures with them all of the costumes-clad dudes already left....it'll be so awesome to take pictures with Darth, he might be always force choking his incompetent minions all the time but deep down inside i bet he's a mellow dude and fun to hang with, just hope he wont choke me too.
Well overall its quite a good night spent there, much better than spent it in my room online or zombie killing or facing the dull notes and books.
that's it,gotta sleep now, feelin' a bit tipsy from the beer.

Selamat Pagi Sayang


A local production starring Noh of the great local band Hujan and DJ Fuzz. Support your local music! A really great song, glad local music scene is slowly going on a rise.

Oreo Overload

On the way to hunt for films for Johnson's new camera(not exactly new,it's totally mechanical camera,made in the Soviet during cold war era), he lead me to a pastry shop and somehow forced me to make a decision on a cake(seriously i dont know why he'll walk into a pastry shop at first),and this is my choice:


big thanks to that chick that work at the pastry shop for misspelled pretty much nearly every word. The cake is made of more than 50% oreo,which is one of my favorite cookie of all time, and i love this cake,still eating them while i'm typing this...big thanks again to Johnson for getting me this cake :-) finally i got the chance to cast my birthday wish this year LOL.
Gotta go now,wanna finish this sucker by today.

Happy Birthday,mate.

Finally,the big "two-one" is here. Glad i'm still alive and kicking it.

Again,happy birthday,edward :-)

Early birthday


Today after class i went to 1u, with a mystery guest yeoh woen. At first he just going to drive my bro's car to the campus for me since my bro edwin is not at KL at the moment,so i get to use his car,sweet. But he's just another lonely soul trapped home alone like me so he decided to tag along although he's just wearing his sleeping attire and lazy to change.

I've been waiting this baby for months,and by the time they hit showroom i was having my finals, and when my finals ended my sizes are gone....(again,fuck you finals)



super stoked finally got my pair,but now i'm back to the old me,broke :(


Luckily the push get their stock later than showroom, and hence the reason i need to go 1u. Finally,something special for myself on my big day. Though i'm kinda broke now after getting this but what the hell....we have to pamper ourselves once a while right? All i need left is some candles to put on the shoe box and i'm already content with my birthday LOL!

A really fun job

Took a job of sampling on the F&N Seasons drink during my sem break, and due to this job I had to cancel my work as a free tour guide for Vincent and Evus around Penang(sorry guys,we should plan for Christmas).

Had a great time and met a really nice team of peeps, Edwin the driver, Claudia and Catherine, and cant forget Xiao Jie.


We ending our day 1 of 2 at the Star Parade.


Really wish i can tag along with them at KL but too bad i got short semester,sigh...Through this job i met lots of other people too, not a bad job after all.


Perlis

Off to Perlis with my mom and my aunt today, my aunt wanted to return some stuff(honestly,i dont know what it is) to the doctors at the hospital there (she is a paeds nurse at the Alor Star hospital), and at the same time visit my another aunt there, which is a nurse at the ICU of the hospital.(yeah i know,my mom and my aunts' works revolve around healthcare.)

After returning those stuff, we took a small detour to Padang Besar, the border between M'sia and Thailand to buy some stuff.

Just managed to take some photos there, cos you know, i went there shop with 3 aunties, I have to responsible to carry their bags and their shopping bags too....and trust me,anuties really could not resist steal price items. We're there from 3pm to 6pm.

What the complex looks like from the first floor.


Stairway to heaven?Why is it going downwards?


My mom got this bag there for less than rm20, that place is a real heaven for people looking for stuff with real dirt cheap price, bootlegged stuff included.


I only managed to get this back from there, essential item to live on back at KL. Don't worry edwin, half box is mine, the other half is yours.

this trip really brings back a lot of nostalgic memories, I used to came here when i'm in my teen years to get jerseys and stuff. And also I spent most of my childhood here back at Perlis with my grandma and grandpa, which they already gone six feet under when I was 11. I still miss them, love my childhood too.

OK,enough with the nostalgic moments, time to pack my stuff, going back to KL in the afternoon. Au revoir Perlis, will definitely come back again in the future.

Tatooine



A nice song, regardless if you're a star wars fan.

Twin suns of Tatooine
Taught me everything I know
Twin suns of Tatooine
Taught me everything I know

There's room up there for second chances
Singles are fine but doubles are fantastic
I'd like to think that there's a star for me and you
Spinning round, falling for one another

Twin suns of Tatooine
Taught me everything I know
Twin suns of Tatooine
Taught me everything I know

Solos are fine but duets are romantic
A pair is grand but a trio'd be disastrous
I'd like to think that there's a star for me and you
Spinning round, falling for one another

1 day trip to Kulim

Went to Kulim with SX and Wee Chin just this afternoon, SX will have his internship there so we're there checking out the scene over there and find a spot for him to stay.

Chin said it's just like another Kampar and expect SX to go back AS every weekend....a small town with not much things to do around. The best spot there is just the Giant supermarket with cineplex inside,not too shabby for a small town like Kulim.

We also check out the Kulim Hi-Tech Park, SX will be having his internship at Fuji Electric, their factory is pretty huge, just beside the Intel building, well actually surrounded by numerous Intel buildings there....Overall Kulim Hi-Tech Park is a freakin huge place where big ass factories lying around, that kinda sums up what Kulim High-Tech Park is.

Went back at around 5pm like that, on the way back near the Gurun exit we stumble upon this:
There is another truck shipping the wings of the plane, but the truck was moving so slow i was not able to take the picture of the other truck, only able to take the picture of this truck shipping the fiuslag. Looked like some old school fighter plane design.
Hoping for more action in my sem break,peace.

Next on my ever-expanding wish list


I'm going to hunt down and buy this pair of shoe just because it has the same name as me. Really hoping that zone5 will bring in this pair. It'll be awesome to have a pair of shoe with my name labelled on the tongue, right?haha. But I really like the design of this pair, pretty similar to the design of my current favorite of the Nike SB line, the zoom air Stefan Janoski SB.
the Stefan Janoski SB, which i'm currently owning this exact colorway.Love this shoe. Definitely will get more of these babies in the future.




And the Es Edward. I'm always a sucker for black and white shoes. A nice,simple design always works for me.

Another pair that's on my target is the HUF Hupper. They keep saying me I had enough of this type of shoe lyring around, but these style, they never gets old, just like denim.

Plus HUF footwear just recently made available at Krookz KL. Big thanks to them for making it happening. Hoping more good brands from the States will be available at their shop.
Fuck i'm still in the middle of exam season and i'm blogging on things i wanna buy....ciao, gonna go read some stuff now.

semester ending

Last friday was the last day of our semester, and as usual we skipped the days class and went to a little road trip up to the mountains due to the hot weather and it's friday, no harm for having some good time with the dudes.


Oh,we're supposed to study for the finals now since the semester already ended and the beginning of study week?Fuck you,finals....for now.


Halfway up and the weather is getting colder....should've wear my flannel instead of my shrinking topman shirt(or is it me getting fatter?)


And indeed we're feeling the colder-than-usual temperature while chillin' at Starbucks. Had a not-so-good steamboat there, miss the "hoi thong" steamboat at Serdang.
Went down from there about 10pm,after experience some mind blowing strong and cold wind there.Think I might have flu right after I reach home.
That's it, will be back blogging when, and if, my life starts to get a tad interesting.ciao.

Lone

I've been solo-ing a lot lately, in doing almost anything actually. from dining to shopping and sometimes even watching movie at the cinemas alone.

Actually before this i do enjoy the occasional "alone" time, especially going out and shopping, because when i'm shopping alone, i'll only visit the shops that i really want to go, without any hassle. Because you klnow, when you go out with a bunch of friends, some might say "hey i wanna check out new stuff at topman" or "hey let's go the padini outlet first" and so on....it's not that i loathe going out in a group, trust me going out in a group is really fun. Just that when i shop alone, i make it brief and straight to the point. When i'm going to shop alone, i already know what i'm going to buy, such as some older release shoes with huge discounts or fresh release stuff that i'm anticipating sometime ago. I go, i grab, i pay, i leave, and that's it.
But lately i notice that my "alone" time is getting more and more. Is it because i'm too get used to solitary lifestyle and i'm starting to ignore what's happening around me? I went back to hometown few days ago, and i'm still at aloq stuck now. I used to hang out with my roommates even when i'm at hometown (due to my particle-sized social life), and now i'm all alone when i went out just now. I always feel that the old saying of "no man is an island" doesn't really apply to me because i do enjoy being alone, but now I finally feel that being alone is really one of the worst feeling you'll feel. Even when i'm at kl with my friends and mates I still feel this emptiness and hollow in me. The feeling is getting so intense that I'm beginning to feel that i might have depression.
Damn i seriously need to do something on improving my social life, really don't want things to get anymore worse. Maybe I should start with altering my mentality on my way of socializing. My close friends around me know that i'm always the "less talkative" one in the group, or in other words "listener". Yeah I do listen a lot on what my friends are talking, but maybe it's time for change. Perhaps i should switch to the talker instead of being silent and listen. Or maybe i'm just being too cool and others will mistakenly think i'm just a schmuck?
Is it a sign of me facing depression by typing all this crap?Fuck.....

Wish I Could...


Drop everything i need or might need to do today(test at tomorrow included) and just roll away on my board...

Oh fog...

We all have our fair share of crazy ideas,especially on what to do on a boring night.some say the usual clubbing,some hit the streets and check out the sights and sounds of sleepless nights at the city,some might just being the same old couch potato and stare at the idiot box on the lord of the rings reruns or some hk soap marathon...
But the idea of a sudden trip to genting highlands at midnight?that idea never gets old...
It was jin xuan's birthday, after the k-singing session with her friends from her college,we're off to setapak to grab shu jou along on this little trip to end the night at the sin city of our country.
On our way up to the mountains,we encountered fog thick as the yellow pages...By the way this is actually my very first time driving on my own up there,cos usually it's my friends that does the driving. And seriously,the thickness of the fog really made the driving much-more difficult as the winding mountains road already giving me a good test on my driving skills.

This is what it looks like while we're just halfway through...It reminds me of scenes of some horror movies,haha.

I did learn something from this little trip,that is your vision in front is better if you turn off the headlight while driving in a thick fog as the fog will reflect the light from the headlight. We end up stoning up there until 7am cos the fog is too thick and too risky for us to go down.But still this little trip beats the usual boring night.Thanks to jin xuan again for making it happen by suggesting this idea over supper,haha.Hoping for more sudden trips like this before she's off to taiwan.

Kampar: Day 2 (morning)


We're supposed to wake up by 8am today but we're still asleep at 9am.But we're still able to go visit utar kampar campus today. Yee yuin is our tour guide of the day. The very first thought that came into my mind when we enter the campus is "this place is freakin huge...".Seriously,the campus is indeed super sized compared to my puny campus of FES at setapak. They even had a freakin lake inside the school compound for god sake,before this i thought they lake is situated at
outside of the campus.

Not to forget there are also locals tagging along with us in this dull trip to the campus on the weekends, Nicole and Yan Ern. All of us took picture in front of the library main door.


The lake is seriously huge.They should consider letting people riding jet ski or some boating activity on that lake,what a waste...

When we're walking from block to block i also notice that each block has it's own canteen. But later i understand why they had to have a canteen on each block, because it is really far to travel from 1 block to another just to grab a bite.

This is the biggest canteen at block C. There are only a few chinese orchestra people practicing there due to weekend. This canteen is jam packed with people during weekdays,mostly students doing their foundation who are studying at block B.

This big piece of building is their freakin library. Too bad i can't get in because i don't have my student lanyard with me.



Not only there is a lake inside the campus,even a small stream.Wonder where the water came from....organic sewage system?

There is a lot of gardens in the campus too. Here i'm taking picture with our lovely guide,yee yuin. Don't worry you'll see a lot of her in the pictures....XD

Due to my laziness i only update some of the pictures. You can view em via Yeeyuin's pictures on her facebook. It is a bitch uploading those pictures, and i'm not an active blogger,which makes it worse...

I'm getting tired on updating.I'll update the afternoon part of day 2 on the next post. Uploading pictures from my phone is also quite a bitch,argh...
Till next time.

Kampar trip:day 1

I was pretty looking forward to the trip to kampar. First it was because i never went to there before, and i keep hearing from others that the campus there is like forbidden-city sized plus the great view. Also, i wanna experience the student's life at there, as i only study at pj and kl for the past 3 years. Truth is i'm getting sick of the life at kl,it is too.....dead and monotonous to me. Well yeah,i have to agree at kl there is always something fun to do like shopping(man,i love to shop), cant forget those shops i always go to get those fresh released kicks,or on the hunt for some over-priced kicks that is going on sale during sales period and those nice restaurants, but i still feel that something is missing here at kl.maybe i'm just looking for something that doesn't exist, or something that's really cant be found at kl.My other purpose of going there is just....hanging out with my friends who are still studying there.every semester break when i go back to hometown i always told them "yeah,i'll find you when sem break,then we can hang out" and stuff like that,but in the end i'm always stuck with the few very person that i spend most of my time with at kl(even share the same room with them).damn my social circle is shrinking....

On that day, the weather is just perfect to start my journey from my home at setapak.not too much sun,not too cloudy,just the type of weather i enjoyed most.i hate rainy days,because i really like wearing suede leather shoes, they look nice and comfortable at the same time and nice to skate in, and h2o is the prime enemy of suede leather.

As i reach kl sentral, i need to wait for jin xuan for an hour plus cos she's kinda occupied with her further studies to taiwan thingy, so i just hang around at mcd.when she's finally here and we meet up,the train ticket for afternoon already sold out,left the night train at 10.30pm.man,what a great start to our trip....so we end up killing our time by taking train to klcc and watched marmaduke.not a bad movie,if you're a dog lover.

Oh,by the way this is the place where we take our train at kl sentral. I only knew on that day that we can take train of ktm here at kl sentral, not the komuter type but the type that travel across our nation...


When we reach kampar it is already nearly 2am.wee chin came to pick us up and bring us on a tour around kampar, both old town and new town, midnight style.not much activity at the old town,nearly no activity at all,but things are still going active at new town,maybe cos it's filled with students from both ktar and utar live and hanging out there. they got almost everything a student need there,mamak store,cc,7-11,pool center....looks like their night life here is not much different compared to mine at kl.
We hit the sack as soon as we reach there cos we need to go visit the utar campus there tomorrow morning.stay tune for the update on day 2.
