10th

Ok, so right, Dexter basically told me to get 5 days off from blogging, but im back in 3 - i THINK. Hehe. Its Gawai! Dont know the relevance, but a celebration of one Malaysian is a celebration of all Malaysians.. ;) Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai! Haha. Selamat Ari Gawai to eveyone!

Anyway, quite a lot happened these few days, which was probably contributed as well to why i wasnt blogging the past few days. Well, on Tuesday, my friend and I went to Max Brenner's at esplanade. know the place? its a chocolate bar, kind of. So we went in, yea, and i opened the menu, and couldnt make up my mind which one to choose. So I got the both of us practically everything on the menu, from suckao to chocolate fondue and from hot chocolate to chocolate and caramel banana waffle (or something like that). Between the 2 of us, we tried to finish up a whole table full of choclaty deliciously rich food. LoL. we didnt quite get to finish everything, but it was my last time evening out in Singapore, so i just decided what the heck, lets just enjoy the food. and we did! Owh! and i suddenly thought why they named it suckao. Its basically u melt chocolate over a candle and u pour milk into it and drink it -HOT! so i think, i THINK, they named it that because when people drink it, they SUCK it, and they go "AO!" when they burn their tongues. thus the SUCKAO.. smart, eyh?

The next day, my last day in Singapore, was pretty much extremely hectic. I still had clas till 3, and my flight was at 630, so i have to be at the airport by 530, and the airport is half an hours ride from my place, and i havent packed one bag. So my plan was from school, go straight to get some stuff, and then go back home, pack, and leave. But then, the shopping got a little out of hand. Marium, Lynn and Rachael decided to tag along - which was fine with me, dont get me wrong. hehe. We were running all over the place - and i mean RUNNING - trying to lok for the stuff i needed, and shouting at the cashers to hurry up and stuff. After everything was done - which, thankfully, they did get done - the 3 wanted to get neoprints, so i dont mind, at least for memory, u know. It turned out quite all right, actually, even though we were rushing through the whole thing, because it was nearly 430 already. by 4.40, i left the place in a cab after quick goodbyes. GOt home nearly at 5, and was rushing through my whole place, making sure i didnt leave antyhing behind. But! I now realize i left my facial cleanser and my handphone charger! Left my place at around 5, stopped some place to try look for some ointment for my aunt, cant find, so proceded to the airport. Checked in, had to get something deposited for pickup by my friend. By the time everything was done, it was already 6.10, and i havent gone pass immigration, and ireally wanted to get some starbucks before i went in, but i decided against it since there really wasnt time. Went in, got into a shop and got some ointments for my aunt, and i had to RUN all the way to the gate, because it was already 6.28. I was so nervous that i'd get left by the plane or something, but then, i dont know if i was relieved or mad, the flight was delayed by about 10 minutes. So now im safely in kuching!

You know what? something i realize, but perhaps most people already know. we dont really appreciate the things we have until we lost it. I'm missing the people in Singapore - my friends, the place itself, the ambience. Seriously, i've made some great friends there, and i do hope we dont lose touch. I might not have made much effort in our friendship, but i realize now that they do mean a lot to me. Thank you so much, guys, for everything. I appreciate every single one of you, no matter from CH or ISS or from anywhere else. =)

I thought i had a longer entry to write, but it seems this is it. So, til next time. I'm going back to Miri on the 10th.

photos?

Ok so here goes. I havent posted anything in the last few days. been "offline". plus my laptop is really being a pain in the ass, so i didnt even bother to turn it on. this was my last weekend living in singapore. im going back in 2 days time, and i cant wait to see everyone back in kuching, and then my friends in miri. some are coming back - i think.

last night was prom night. and no, chen pong, i didnt really "dress up", i just had a tie. of course other clothing articles as well! dont go imagining me in just a tie and only a tie, though i know u want to. haha. but but BUT, one thing i just realized just now, I FORGOT TO TAKE PHOTOS!! i think the only photo i had was the one rachael took of me in this really weird pose. -.-" haha. thats just weird. i mean, who goes to prom and forgets to take photos?? LoL.

u know, its weird, i havent been blogging for the past few days, yet i dont seem to have much to write. Is it really because there isnt much to write about, or is it because im starting to slack in this blogging thingy?

Owh, by the way, i dont think its relevant, but just to extend the length of this post, i sold my tv, surround system, dvd player, study table and printer already. so everything's off my hands, and all i need to concentrate on now is to pack up and make sure i dont leave anything behind. i really look forward to going back to miri. miri, here i come!!! =D

i have a headache now, so i guess i got to stop now, though i want to try make it longer. hope next time will be better.

smack that!!

The thought suddenly hit me. I'm not being morose or melancholic or anything like that. But it just suddenly hit me, that come august, i might not be coming back to ISS, or even Singapore for that matter. And it kind of makes me sad. I mean, even though ive been here only a short while, i've come to know some really great friends. People who have really made a difference, and who have touched me in so many different ways. I didnt realize how much they mean to me until the realization of parting came whooshing onto me. It really makes going all the more harder. I just hope that we dont lose contact and when i do get to come back to Singapore or meet u guys anywhere else, that i havent been forgotten. same goes for all the rest of u!! =D Ah, and one thing i'm definitely going to regret missing out on - Mr SB's classes. Gua respek sama lu laa Mr SB!! He just has this extraordinary and ultimately unique sense of humour. Its not so much of his guffawing at people and being in a good mood all the time. I mean, he can be pretty mean at times, but his sarcasm is.. wow! The things he come up with, either to make u or to break u, it just makes me envy him so much. He comes up with really witty and sarcastic remarks in a split second, and its just.. brilliant.



Ah.. i had so much to write just now, but now i've forgotten. Owh, I'm selling off my furniture and my tv together with the sound system and dvd player. anyone interested? call me. hehe. I already have someone come in looking at my furniture, and i'm just waiting for him to make his decision. I got another guy (at least, i THINK hes a guy) pass the maid his number and asked me to call him back. Hes interested in the TV. Looking good eyh? The thing is, i'm going to be quite busy this few days, and i'm going off on wednesday already. I'm going to KL tomorrow for one night. Well, i just hope everything works out well.

OH MY GOD!!! Im homesick!!! I was thinking about what i would do once i go back next week in Kuching, and i started thinking about all my cousins and aunts and uncles and everyone. i miss them!!

theres this huge roach on the wall right in front of me!! like real close. argh.. i can see its face.. its in my pen holder thingy!! now its among my wires.. its fillers are moving.. -.-" it just charged at me!! im going to whack it, squash it.. eh.. its gone.. the coward.. maybe next time it wont dare show up again.. it showed up again!!! i chased it all over the place a rolled up papers, was whacking all over and FINALLY got it!! its dead!! victory!!! it tastes so sweet.. and its oh so satisfying. its like, whacking it real hard is not just to kill it, its like releasing all the stress and frustration and everything else locked up.. it feels goooood! and just to share my sweet sweet moment with all of you.. =D *chuckle*

It looked so much bigger when it was alive.. or maybe this is a different one. which means theres another bigger one still roaming around!! Hoho. cant wait to SMACK THAT (!!) all on the floor~ LoL. im feeling so happy now.. wahahhaha!!

ooo~ im feeling so good right now.. hyper!! LoL. so im heating myself some prawn curry.. mmmm.. the smell is soooo goood..

im back, and i just finished my dinner.. it was goooooood~ but not ice water.. sigh.. but nevermind.. im not going to let that dampen my spirits tonight!!

hehe. =D

center of the universe

Curse the creature that has shamelessly invaded my peaceful and innocent laptop. Spare the young! or perhaps its just overwork. it seems to be malfunctioning, and its getting worse. last week it was just the sound. now its starting to lag, and its starting to crash as well. i dare not go into msn, because the moment i do, it starts to go all haywire. and it took me great pain and care to get to my blog, holding my breathe in case, just in case, a sigh can make it decide to just stop.

i went to vivo city again today. as i got off the bus, i started to wonder why is it that i have been going to that place so often lately. thrice in 3 weeks. wait, make that 4. i guess because its near my place, and also because there are a lot of things there. the cinema there is awesome. i mean, the seats are comfortable, the walls are curtained, the screen is crystal clear. and from the outside, u can just see the lounge for the Golden Class. i want to watch via the Golden Class, but, well, i guess i just have to wait and see. Time pass really fast. 5 months ago i just came, and now i have one week till i leave for home. Home! Btw, i got a haircut today. looks about the same, but yea. at least its not as irritating as it was before.

met up with joseph and chen pong again today. michelle chin is here for 2 nights, on transit from miri to thailand. So we met up with her at bugis. i didnt have the appetite, i dont know why. i was hungry, but then end up just wanting to have the ais kacang. ah, ais kacang, the malaysian delight. there are few things that can delight a person and excite his buds than malaysian food - unarguably the best in the world. ;) and chen pong was right. after i graduate, i'll start a restaurant chain. But a bit different though. not just miri food, as he put it. malaysian cuisine. and not just in singapore. its going to be the next mcDonald's. another far-fetched dream of mine, but, yea. Lots to do in life, and not enough time. But it will happen. i'll make it happen, insyaAllah.

I really do have absurb dreams and goals - i've been told numerous times. But then again, one can never aim too big nor too high. Aim for the stars, because then, even if u miss, u land among the clouds. and everything starts from a dream.

you know, it's really weird, when u think about, to realize that the universe doesnt center on u. not being selfish or full of myself. But i mean, just think about it. Your whole life, everything you do, you are so eerily aware of. but then, you look around you, and you - i, at least - wonder, everyone else doesnt look at my life the way i look at it. To me, they're just someone else. I don't know whats going on in their minds, and they dont know, nor do thy even bother, about what goes on in mine. and then you try to imagine how it's like being someone else. it's hard, its complicated, its weird. You cannot imagine looking at yourself as someone else. to people, you might just be those people passing behind you who you dont even bother to look at. How insignificant we each are. But then, at the same time, its the difference in each of us that makes it all work. we all contribute to life, whether or not people, or even ourselves, realize. nothing we do involved just us. when we smoke, its not just us causing harm to us, its us becoming that annoying person who smokes in public places, the person who makes us block our noses as we pass. its just so amazing and so.. complicated, so fascinating.

vivo!

ok. here goes. i didnt blog yesterday because, well, i was just procrastinating. i came home in the evening, and i just sat here, doing nothing, until finally its already way past midnight. so i didnt think i could write a blog anymore because my eyes were drooping already.

so yesterday i watched spiderman 3 with chen pong and joseph.. it wasnt too bad, but it was a bit too long. but it was good! i mean, like dexter said, there was a lot of lessons to be learnt for those who will ponder words. Well, like before, im not going to spoil it for anyone who hasnt watched it, though i doubt theres anyone who hasnt watched it. it was kinda weird as well though, pirates of the carebbean is coming out, and i just watched spiderman, when, i dare say, people have long ago watched it. hehe.

There's joseph and chen pong! look at them gawking at.. ah.. i cant put it into words. they were just so amazed. well, so was i, to tell u the truth. the sharpness, the clarity, the.. wow. words fail me.

after that we went for dinner at secret recipe. the food was good! and it was all the much better because we found out its a malaysian chain. oh-so-proud malaysians were we. but the cheesecakes!! they were wow. i think so far they were the best i've tasted. maybe next time will go there again - no regrets! and the price isnt that bad as well.

See there the cheesecakes? the marble was ok - its an award winning cheesecake. but the other 2 were superb!! they might look like the usual cheesecake to the untrained eyes, but dont be fooled. Once they're in ur mouth, they just hit u like a tidal wave. it just makes u speechless. Its that good ladies and gentleman - witness the deliciousness of Malaysian cuisine.

After we filled our stomachs and treated our appetite to the food, we went out and just had a stroll. I guess the view was too good to just let go - the 2 just couldnt resist taking a snap. across the river is sentosa by the way, and that there in the background are the cable cars.

now that there's my own shot. its at times like these when i really wish that i have a proper camera. got this useing my phone. but my camera!! its with my cousin! i need to get it back. i hope i can get it soon enough. miss taking photos.

well, i dont think theres anything else to write. finally there're photos in my blog! wow! ;) now i got to finish up some work. after this, its smooth sailing for me til 2 months from now. now how much luckier can u geT?

the beauty of life

today was rather boring. i got out of bed quite late - relatively, to my recent habits, at least. There wasnt any food for lunch, so i didnt have lunch. i stayed home today, didnt have much to do. all i did was watch tv and go online. what more can u do when ur at home? going to watch spiderman tomorrow though, so kinda looking forward to that. quite a lot have watched it, so yea, im just anxious to see this movie that everyone says is so good. im sure it is, so, yea.. tick, tock, tick, tock.. time cant move any faster than now, even if it does, its just in the mind. dont u agree? time moves so fast when u want it to go slow, and it moves so slow when u want it to go fast. but right now, its moving at its normal pace for me, because i want it to go faster and to slow down at the same time. so i guess it got kind of confused, so time gave up on trying to confuse me. smart, dont u think? i beat time!

but time, its really something very complicated - then again, everything is complicated once u start to think about it, but just for the sake of this post, i'll just say "time is complicated". I mean, imagine, once it has passed, once the clock has ticked, it can never go back again. unless, of course, u turn the dial the other way round, but thats another story, for another day, when im really out of ideas to write. ah, see, now i can sense that u guys are just edging on ur seats, waiting for that story. dont worry, the day'll come. time will pass, and time will come, and time will never go away. see, now that there is proof of what i was saying, how complicated time is. how can the same thing that never happens twice, come again after it has passed? and how can it come AGAIN, if it can never go away? i dont know whether this is just the complicity of time, or a defunct of the language. ah, theres another topic - defunct of the language. again, another topic for another day, have patience, dear readers. trust in fate, and let time decide.

ok, back to business, about time. think back into ur past. think about the decisions uve made, actions uve done, words uve said. how many times have u regretted doing something uve done? how u wish u could go back into time and undo what u did. and how many times have u come to realize the vicious mercilessness of time. lifetimes pass, people pass on, and people live on. the living mourn the dead, mourning what they should have done with the deseased, mourning what they did and didnt do. maybe thats a curse of life. people dont regret until its too late. but maybe thats why they call it regret, because its too late. why is it too latE? because time never turns.

perhaps, time isnt so complicated after all. perhaps, its just us, people, humans, beings, who make life so complicated. "live life to the fullest", practically everyone has heard of that expression. "this is it", is something that less have heard of, but makes about the same sense. people complain about what they didnt or did do. But thats just it, dont waste time. the mysteries of time is unraveled with just a few words (i doubt to add "of wisdom") - dont waste time. Live life at the present. forget the past, live the present, plan the future. and dont just nod ur head in realization when u think about it, apply it, right now. i know its much harder to do than say. i need more practice myself. but i just feel like saying it. perhaps it'll help me more in my application, who knows?

time.. when we do look back, make sure its with a smile, fondly remembering all the good times we had, the laughter we shared, the times we shared, good and bad.. time, though frustrating at times, is what makes life, and every single second, so precious and beautiful, because every second is a new and different second. ah.. the beauty of life..

watch it now!

Ok, right, so here's what happened today. I went out for the evening with eric, one of my condo mates. We went to vivo city. it was pretty cool actually. we had an indian dinner (northern) at Go India.. Chicken, mutton and kacang.. Doesnt seem much, but trust me, if got me full - oh so full. Had dessert - i don't quite remember the name right now, its a type of indian sweet which i realized ive had before when i saw it. it was nice~

So anyway, after dinner we decided to see if there were any movies we could catch. there was "next".. seemed nice.. the movie was awesome!!! i mean, i don't want to spoil it for any of u guys who are planning to watch it (i strongly recommend u to watch it btw), but i had a great time! It's just brilliant, fantastic, the way it made u realize how a split second really can change ur entire life. How slight decisions can cause huge effects. Have u watched "dejavu"? u should.. thats another awesome awesome awesome movie.. the whole time i was watching "nexT" i kept on thinking.. this here is another movie at par with dejavu.. i mean, they're both so mind boggling. its something u'd remember, something ud WANT to remember - the movie, i mean. I was serious when i said i dont want to spoil it for u guys, so im not going to say more, just.. GO WATCH IT NOW!!! It's pure genius..

Ok, so, right.. besides the evening, today was quite an uneventful day. just the usual, u know. One and a half more week to go, and then im back to the land of hornbills. now tell me, just who wouldnt envy that? =p Sarawak is really a place like no other. Wherever i am, i'll always think of it as home. Theres nothing i can put into words to describe the place, just you guys should come and see for yourself, you wont regret it, i promise!

To tell u the truth, its nearly 3 now, and i am just so sleepy, so i cant really write long. and i definitely cant handle heavy topics at the moment. so i guess before i start to write words and lose sense, i better stop right now. soli ah, but im not one to put loads of pictures, so, please dont complain that there arent any photos.. ;)

thank you!

Hola! I guess im trying to post daily entries. i wonder how long i can keep this up? u guys better appreciate what im doing! but then again, i have nothing better to do right now. i mean, exams are over, and holidays are coming really soon, im practically left with nothing to do now except watch the tv and go online - which would probably explain why im online so much. But then again, i always have been online a lot.

So anyways, today was pretty, er, should i say not bad? yea, it was pretty not bad. we didnt do anything during economics. We spent the first half of the class talking about chemistry (or rather, my friends were talking, i was crapping - hey! u guys know how i am with science.. ) and the other half pondering over riddles and psychological questions. Mr Tan (the teacher) came up with tonnes of mind boggling questions and situations. i dont think we figured out any of them until he told u. It was quite fun actualy, because there were only 6 of us, so.. yea.

i was on the bus just now with my friends. and there was this woman who was sitting in front of us. i nearly sat next to her, but didnt for some reason. So we were just sitting there, talking, and suddenly the woman started shouting and making weird noises and pointing to the front. i thought she was pointing to an accident or something, but apparently there was none. She kept acting like she was talking to someone - she was alone. i think she was just talking gibberish with a few mandarin words. No no, i might not be able to understand the different chinese dialects, but i do recognise chinese when i hear it spoken. she seemed quite mad at something. and the real funny thig was there was this guy sitting near her, u can see he was edging slowly away from her.

It made me think, society is actuall very, erm, im not sure whats the wordto use, reserved?. I mean, everyone talks about treating people equally, help the needy, disabled, and all that. people talk a lot, make grand claims and give impresive suggestions. But when they are put right smack in the situation, personally, u'll realize that its all talk and no action. I don't mean to say everyone is like that. There is quite a large percentage who actually do practice what they preach. And these are the kind of people who really make a difference in the world today. They might not be going on tv for giving 5 digit donations on a cheque bigger than themselves (probably to make sure people way at the back can see the exact amount written on it), not that im saying its a bad thing, but their actions makes as much, if not more, of a difference to the people all around them.

the realization that i might be moving and not coming back to singapore in 2 weeks time hasnt really dawned on me. It all still feels like a dream. I'm going to KL next week on friday to meet the committee and finalize my joining Atlantic College. I hope everything goes well. I'm going to miss singapore - the people here more like it. I mean, i havent been here long, but i've met and made friends with some really wonderful people. Theres also Chen Pong and Joseph, who came here as well to study in JCs. The few months ive been here has been all the more fun and meaningful with their presence, and i hope nothing will ever change that. Thank you! =D

And today is Chen Pong's birthday, so.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHEN PONG!!! May the future holds lots of surprises and may you succeed in everything that u set out to do.. All the best!!!

Rice??

I know this is kind of weird (3 posts in one day), but i just thought that this was such an interesting comment for the previous post, that i decided to reply it as a new post rather than as a comment.

"hmmm .... friends... a topic we always ponder upon....then can u tell me why years of friendship between 'us' could never brings us closer,.... it juz stopped to a point.. of maybe respecting each other... but never to the point of sharing the 'sadness'..... how some of us chose 'outsider' as 'sis n bro' when in fact around us are friend who have been through hell n heaven with us since our childhood.... "



friends - as simple as the word sounds, it is actually a very complex terminology, one which different individuals interprate and practice differently on the surface, but with each and everyone having the same interest at heart. To some, respect is not an important element, so to say. ever heard the the saying "ur only good friends if u have a cupboard full of his/her things yet to be returned". now tell me, where is the respect in that, keeping someone else's stuffs like that? and again, tell me, would u do that to someone u just got to know yesterday? friendship is a relationship that takes years to build up, that strengthens with time, to a certain stage where you can practically slap him on the head and he'll just laugh and slap you back - all in good will.
"outsiders" and "sisters" and "brothers" are just terms brought into lives by the individial's self to "spice" things up, to add new things in life - not saying they're unnecessary or irrelevant or unimportant.

An analogy? Rice is, generally, the staple food of Asians. It's something we can't live without. And yet people eat it with "lauk" - fish, vege, chicken, etc. Why? why so many "pattern", when rice is the main thing? why can't we just eat rice and only rice? Because all the other side dish complements rice, gives food a variety of taste, exciting ur buds daily - but don't forget, it's basically rice. But then, when compliments are given, it's always to the "lauk", rarely the rice. Do people realize, however, that in every meal, rice is always present, whereas the "lauk" changes. No matter how "unappreciated", it's always there. I'll leave the interpretation to u, and hopefully you understand what i'm saying. Sometimes, or maybe most of the times, the most vital things in life are often deprived of respect - but this doesnt mean that it is any less than what it actually is.

So, no matter how "stale" the friendship has gone, when the need arises, whether expected or not, u will see, then, how the "old kindered fires" burn again with a heat that surpasses all other. Friends stick by u, whether u realize it or not.

Looks can be deceiving..

a friend - one of the one i've known longest, just told me something, and it made me think. and i do really hope the statement is true to only that one friend, and not true between the others.

Friends.. i don't know why, but this is one of my often-thought-about topics. A lot of my friends, ive known for a long time. I am very aware of how i am with my friends - don't think i don't realize. Many might think of me as just, and this are the exact words, "partner(s) of fun", because of my happy go lucky, care-free, couldnt-care-less ways. I either jump around from person to person, from group to group, interrupting conversations and thoughts, or i might just sit down in a corner, all alone, thinking, brooding (seemingly). I might not "submit" myself to any one friend or friends, i might not share feelings and thoughts with anyone, and i might not share the same relationship that any one of u reading this might share with a special friend (im not talking about a romantic special someone). But i do hope that u know this - no matter how trivial u deem our friendship or relationship (however u wish to term it) to be, i am always here. And i am here not just to be a "partner of fun", but i'm here to be a friend.

U have no idea, how painful it is to me, that i don't have the close or best friend that most have (forgive myself, but i would like to point out that i do consider a lot to be especially good friends, and that does not under-rate them in any way to me). But then again, u also have no idea, how much it touches me, to know that some, at least, deem me worthy to tell what lies in their hearts and minds. It's not so much for myself, but i know how much it hurts, to keep something locked up inside u, being unable to release the feelings. That's what i'm here for. Despite my outward appearances or characteristics, i too, as i am sure a lot of others do, long for special ties and bonds. And it saddens me that some judge me without even knowing - as i know is the case. And the really tragic thing is, some of them have "known" me since before i truly understood the meaning of the word "friend".

It might be my misinterpretation, or a misunderstanding, or a miscommunication, but to me, the message is clear. Most consider me as a "partner of fun". But to me, and i hope this is clear, any and all friends are just that - friends. And i will treat friends as friends should be treated. Hopelessly immature, playful, annoying, that i may seem, i can only say.. Looks can be deceiving..

MALAYSIA ALWAYS BOLEH!!

GOD DAMN IT!! Forgive my language, i assure u i'm still the soft spoken (so to say) mirian, sarawakian and malaysian guy that i was. it's just so frustrating. i had this long post all written, complete with photos and stuff, i just had a little more left to add. But guess what? i accidentally closed the window. anyone know how to get it back? But ah, who cares, i'm just going to write something else. no photos though - i'm still lazy, so i guess for now my blog will remain photo-less.

So ok, today was pretty uneventful (for those of u kepo-ing to know, at least. hehe). School, home, bla bla bla. But u know what? i don't know if i was more pissed off or disappointed, or maybe it was something else. Probably you've heard of the parliament (malaysian, of course) case/uproar about the sexist remark by a few MPs. It can be seen from 2 point of views though, and i'm not sure which one i agree to more. On one hand, i don't see a problem with cracking up jokes every once in a while, even in a serious institution like the parliament. I mean, why is there a need for such rigid formality? The parliament is there to better the country, to unify the people, and to make heard the many voices all around our beloved land. So why bother about statements like such? all good that comes from making a scene out of it is to highlight the "uneasiness", if u can say that, of the MPs with each other. Come on, think about it, everywhere u go, people make crude jokes once in a while. Nothing meant, no harm intended. So take it in good humour - u benefit more.

On the other hand, such remarks shouldnt be made at all. But the thing that really makes it unacceptable is how they react to accusations and such. What is all the "close one eye" and claiming it never happened and all that? Stand up, get some backbone, and admit mistakes! This isnt a primary school debate, where a child's ignorance can be the excuse for absurdity. This is a discussion on the level of society's top levels. Ignorance can not, MUST not, be an excuse to brush aside incidents. Malaysians have worked hard, struggled and sacrificed for the nation. Millions of tax money is at stake here. It shouldnt be wasted on projects unbefitting of Malaysia.

Malaysia, my country - i'm proud to be able to say that. But Malaysia has a long way to go - long, but definitely on the way. Hopefully one day i'll be able to come back and serve her. You guys! I don't think im babbling when i say i can count on u guys to come back as well, eyh? It'll be fun, working together. a bit far-fetched, but.. yea! i love Malaysia!! and no matter what people say or what happens, MALAYSIA ALWAYS BOLEH!!!

pujangga..

Due to popular demand and unfailing requests from hordes of adoring fans (okok, i might, i MIGHT, be exaggerating), i have decided to finally start a blog. So people, rejoice, coz from now on, i'm online! priaPujangga is in the house!

Pujangga, meaning dream, is where i will put into words my dreams and ambition, happenings and updates. I hope that with this, we won't lose touch, and constantly keep up with each other. Distance should never be a barrier, and as new ties are forged, so should the old ones be strengthened. Life, up til now, has been colourful with the presence of each and every one of our friends. The colours will never fade in our memories and dreams, so why should we let those who coloured our lives fade?

Well, since this is my first post, better give some updates. It's been, what, 5,6 months since chung hua graduating class of '06 each went their seperate ways. A lot went to Australia, more went to Taylors, some stayed back in Miri, and some, myself included, went to Singapore. Life was kind of weird, to be seperated from friends who have been around practically my whole life. Some i've known for 11 years, some less, but none i view lesser than any. It was a whole new perspective to life, starting in a new place all alone. But after some time, i settled in, made new friends, fostering new relationships that i hope will one day be as strong as what i had with my childhood friends. I would love to name some of them here, but i can't bring myself to single any out, so, you guys, this one is for you!! ;)

I've been in Singapore for 5 months now. It's all been awesome, and i don't think any of you need much update on what i've been up to here. But one good news - i might be going to UK!! In august, if everything goes well, there is a huge possibility i would continue my IB in atlantic college, insyaAllah. I'm really excited, because it's a really good college (not to mention it looks fantastic on the website) where most of the students graduate and continue on to top universities around the world, and also because its it'll give me more experience being far from the land i call home, whose cultures and traditions i dare say i am quite familiar with. But then, it also means i will be far from the comforts of home, reducing my chances of meeting my friends who are closeby, and a lot more. But i'm sure u all agree, no success comes without sacrifice. And most of you probably know my goal of making my one million by the age of 20 - owh yea, i haven't forgotten that. So pray for me yea, and don't ever forget me. Wherever i am, wherever u all are. And know that i will never forget all of you. =)
