Gulugulugulu....

Now ignore the title since it doesn't bear much meaning.

There is an old Chinese saying, "Bitter now and sweet later". It means suffer now so that you can enjoy later. But what about enjoy now and enjoy again later? Of course you have to do your planning so that you can spread your bitterness evenly but not focusing it on one spot.

Oh, my room is getting hot so I am going. See ya. Perhaps will write the rest tonight, and perhaps not.

Bye bye.

A good idea (- -!)

It is so HOT~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!

If someone has ever invented a time machine, I have thought of a good way to use! First, you make a hole that connect to the space on the other time on your wall. Then, set the destination time to which it connects a winter time. Then, the cold air would flow throw the hole to your room! With this, you don't need a heater in winter, too!!!

Arrggghh... how brilliant I am.... (_ _!)

To all my busy friends...

I have so many busy friends around me. What about you? Everybody just seems that s/he is so occupied by his/her studies, by his/her work, by whatever s/he is busy with. But why am I always the luckiest one who doesn't "seem" busy at all? Well, I think I am "optimally" busy. Have enough work to keep me busy, yet with a little time left for myself to enjoy my live. Good luck to those busy ones. I hope they will have their rewards for all their hard work :)

Today I would like to talk about the topic "Being Happy". I once told my friend, when he was miserable, that you can be happy anytime when you want to be. Of course he opposed to this idea and thought that I was crazy(Ok, I added this one... :P) But come to think about it, is that actually something that prevent you from being happy all the time? "Being happy" is just a state of your feelings. You feel good. If you insist to be happy, will anything outside you can stop you? Ya, maybe there are. This is a world full of challenges. Challenges that prevent you from being happy. But if you simply insist on being happy. Nothing can stop you :D Just like nothing can help you if you want to feel sad and miserable.

We often hear that one "can't help feeling bad", but I would hope that someday somebody would tell me that, s/he "can't help feeling happy" :D Isn't that nice?

Bad day... (T T)

But I am not going to talk about it :D I just decided that I will only write about good things from now on. Writing about bad things only make you feel worse. Agree?

Good thing.. good thing... Oh ya, today I cleaned my room. I don't actually remember when did I clean my room last time. But it makes me feel a lot more comfortable now :D Yaho!

And good thing good thing... Oh ya(again?), I helped a junior with his programming work just now. I think he should try harder to think about it himself, though. So instead of writing it all for him in maybe 20 mins, I made him write his own code and spent about 2 hours with him :D Hahaha, I think I will make a good teacher :D

What else? what else? Ok nothing else... so I will stop here.
See ya again with more good news :)

Ok I lied....

Hi, it is me again... hehehe... missed me? But I didn't actually lied. I was actually busy, and am still busy. Why I made it sound so BIG was that I wanted to let someone know that I am busy, too. So, I hope that the someone has got the message and the someone will never think of a mission for me again. Thanks.

And in this weekend without the someone, I have completed building a website for a school organisation, complete with PHP authentication so a user can just log in and post messages. Something like a blog but not as powerful as one. Well, anyway I learned a new skill and my job of maintaining the website becomes easier with this tool. Good work to myself. And starting from tomorrow, I will spend more time in the library to prepare for my graduate school entrance exams. Good luck to those who are going to sit for it.

I think I made it sound too suspicious with the term "someone", but the one who knows knows, the one who doesn't get it, maybe you don't need to know. But one thing is for sure that this someone is not the someone that you think if you don't simply know the answer...

Ok, let's call it a day here :)
See ya!

I AM BUSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you think that new hope is here, you are 99% wrong. Evils strike back!

OK, ignore me. And I am damn busy lately. No time to write here. So, expect my next post to be posted... maybe... next year?

See ya.

Going to be sick... (-_-!)

it is so hot lately in the afternoon, but it cools down at night. I think I am going to be sick if this kind of weather continues. In fact, I don't feel quite well now. Sore throat and some coughing. Going to see the school doctor tomorrow to get some free medicine. (- -!)

Getting busy these days. Need to prepare for the entrance exams of the Graduate school but I haven't got anything done yet. Sigh. But it is much better than last year, though.

Arr... sleepy now... need some rest badly...

See you next time if I survive the bad weather :(

Wow a long time again!!!

Sorry for not writing for such a long time. Ya I am still alive :) And everything is fine except my poor little old white scooter... the exhaust pipe got stuck after all these years and the mechanic of the shop told me that it doesn't worth it to repair. So, I got a new one for 55,000 yens. (-_-!) Broke.

Oh ya, I rented the whole series of the LOTR(Lord of the Rings) and watched all 3 episodes in two days!!! I found it quite boring last time when I first watched it. But now I think it is actually quite interesting, if you watch all at the same time, before you forgot the stories of the former episodes.

And... what more... nothing... my life is quite empty... but buzy... So see you next time :)

Wait, I forgot to mention that I bought the whole set of the City Hunter comics at 1,800 yens!!! Cheap cheap... and they are in good condition. I have finished reading them yesterday. Fun.

So, see you.

One month...

It has been one month since I came back to Japan. Somehow I felt that it was longer. But it was just a month. Everything is fine here. Not much problems with studies. Things are like usual. I just write to let you know that everything is fine.

Oh ya, I still have some assignment to do. I have to pass it up tomorrow but I haven't started doing it yet. Anyway, I don't really need the credit, so... But I will try to finish it lah... :) TRY... :P Just now one of my juniors told me that he thinks he is lazy... but now let's see who is the lazier one... :D

Ciao.

Constantine + First week in school + Misc

I watched Constantine last night. Quite a nice movie. It included many elements. It's got humour, phylosophy, action and a little of love. All in all, it worths my money :)

So, after the first week in school, I think I am going to have a good year :) Although I still have to attend classes, I don't really need that many credits so I can really enjoy the lessons without worrying about the credits. No pressure. About the lab, I think I chose the right lab :)) The people are nice. Although the lab is a bit old :P But I feel relaxed with old things :)

Just realized that I keyed in the wrong phone number for a friend. And this troubled her a bit since she couldn't get me when she got lost :P hahaha... sorry...

How true can you be?

Have you ever thought that someone is very nice and you think that s/he is your model in life, from whom you should learn? And you start imitating her/him in every aspect in your life. But since you are not her/him, you struggle to become one.

I have. Although I was not trying to imitate anybody in every aspect, I tried to imitate some characteristics from someone, and others from the other people who I found worth imitating. And it was really hard. Since I would never become exactly as them.

But now, my idea about imitating someone changed. Just because that someone is nice in their way doesn't mean that you will be nice if you have what they have. They are special because they are who they are meant to be. And you are meant to be you. There is no point to act like the others since they are already there and the world doesn't need a copy of them(even the cloning technology can't copy them inside out).

So, just be yourself and someday you may find that someone is trying to imitate you, the one who you think is the worst guy/girl on earth :)

Wow, 4 years!

The new guys arrived in Japan to start their new journeys today morning! Here I wish them good luck with whatever they do here. Although they might not need as much luck as I did and still do. Hehe. I had a dinner with the newcomers and the old guys just now. I was really happy since it has been a really long time since our last gathering :) Hope that we can have more gatherings like this in the coming year. Looking forward to it.

Come to think of it, I have been in Japan for 4 years. What have I got/learned in this 4 years? I can't tell for sure but of course I did improve and learn a lot. Perhaps I am not so good academically, but I think I have spent the years in a useful way. And I hope I can make the correct decisions in the remaining years.

Going to bring the newcomers to Umeda(the centre of Osaka) tomorrow. So see you and Good night :) Sweet dream :)

headache...

The weather here is just too HOT~~~!!! And I had a bad headache because of that today... I hope it will rain in the coming days or I will be... dried...

I met a friend who is going to start working next month. I wish him good luck and all the best! But do you know how it feels when all of your friends are working but you are still studying??? It doesn't feel good... you feel small... you feel childish and you feel like you live in a separate world... Not only those who are in the same year with me are working.. but those who are younger than I am, started to work, too... And they will just tell you that studying is much better than working, blah blah blah... but it is just the same as telling somebody that being single is much better... and what is worse is that these two "advices" apply on me... :-(

But anyway, although I am quite desparate and want to work and have a relationship now, I know this is not a matter of I want it or not. At least I will have to finish my studies first. But there will be another 3 years if I want to acquire a master degree... To go for master or not to go for master has always been my question with a high priority...

Ok... end of the day...
Hope that tomorrow is another good day :)

On vacation?!?!

Hi, I am in my hometown since 22nd of February. Time passes like lightning. It has been almost 2 weeks since I came down from the plane. It is pretty hot here. I feel like there is fire burning inside me right now!!! Now I miss the winter in Osaka? No way :P But I would be happy if it rains more often here...

It seems that most of my friends are not around. Perhaps they are busy with their work. Many of them have actually started working. Is working in Malaysia fun? I have to ask them when I meet them next time. So that I can make my decision about whether to work in Japan or in Malaysia. What do you think?

Ok, see ya next time :)

Going home...

Country Road... Take me home... To the place... I belong...

Will be back home until 22nd of March. The update of this blog might not be as frequent as it is now but I will try my best :D

And remember that I said I have scored a very low mark in one of my mid-terms? Now I have confirmed with the lecturer that I passed the subject!!! Hurray~~~!!! :)

Thanks for the support from everyone :)

See ya ;)

Living in a world of limitations

I feel that this is an era of limitations. Sometimes you may feel that something you want to do is not something wrong, they simply don't let you do it. And there are many rules and regulations that tell you that you cannot do something without telling you the reasons. Or even if it does, the reasons may be something ridiculous that you simply can't agree with.

Let's think about this situation: There is this rule, although well known, but broken purposely or inpurposely a thousand(or more) times a day. And what is more interesting is that, even the ones who are supposed to enforce the rules don't accuse anybody who breaks the rules in a normal situation. What is the meaning of having this rule? Shouldn't this rule be reconsidered and changed accordingly?

I have not been the rule maker so perhaps I am a bit naive regarding this. But I think rules should be made with some clear reasons that really have the points. And it should be flexible and adaptive to this ever changing environment. This is especially important in this IT age. Everything changes so fast nowadays.

In the past, since it is impractical to get all the people involved in making decisions regarding rules and regulations, we have representatives, who are supposed to voice out our opinions. However, the situation is much different now with the advent of IT technologies. It may be insecure sometimes, but I think it is practical enough to give everyone a chance to vote for a decision to be made, or send their opinions directly to the authorities.

So, to the rule makers out there: please respect the ones who are supposed to follow the rules you are making, ask their opinions before making any decisions. With this you may get better rules which will be willingly accepted by the majority of people.

Thanks.

Spam & Junk Mail of the day!

Recently I got many mails with titles like this:

"Please help me update my address book"

and this:

"Join XXX's Network".

And I have had enough. Somemore the latter will keep on sending you following requests if you ignore the former mails. Although there is a link(I am not sure but there should be) to stop further invitations, I feel that is very cruel to click on it coz that will make me feel guilty about blocking my friends!

So, please don't simply forward mails or send such invitation mails to friends since it could be a disaster to him/her.

Perhaps somebody may think that this is an easy way to keep in touch but there are actually many other better ways to do this. Just keep this in mind, "Something you enjoy may not be so to someone else".

What do you want?

When was the last time you thought about what you want in life? Perhaps you are happy with your life now, perhaps you are not. Since the world is getting better and better, we(ok, most of us living in the cities) don't have to worry about food, accomodations and other necessities in life anymore. This gives us more time to think. However, I am not very sure if this is a good thing.

Last time when I was a child, everything was so simple. And I always seemed to know what did I want at a specific moment. But not anymore. Life is filled with so many things now and I don't really know which are more important than the others.

Life can be so simple but we tend to make it complicated and difficult. More advancement in sciences and technologies brings us more possibilities. And then more possibilities bring more options and choices. With more choices you need to make more decisions. And I don't think making decisions is something easy. Therefore, most of the time spent everyday is on making decisions. To do or not to do. Do now or do it later. etc etc... And this is quite tiring for me.

I think I am going to cut down the unnecessary in my life and make it simpler this year. Let add this to the list of my New Year's resolution.

Ok, going to get up earlier tomorrow.
See ya and Gnite.

And songs are good ;D

About our brain...

Just found this interesting article on the Internet. I think I am the one of the LWM group who is also affected by pressure...

... Oh did I just say that I want to live with more confidence?!?! Ok... I am of course in the HWM group who is not affected by pressure at all... (err.. I refer this as "cheating oneself behaviour"...)

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Happy Chinese New Year to everybody!!! I hope that this will be a better year to everyone, including myself :P

OK, although I never put any New Year resolution into practice, I still want to make one this year. I hope I can live with more confidence and more trust in myself, and can make up my mind about what to achieve in my next stage of life :D Emm, sound great.

Do you have any New Year resolution? Share with me if you don't mind. I promise I won't laugh at you... hahaha... (^0^)
