Up until today, my heart was filled with fear of the changes to come. What kind of person do I want to be? What means the most to me? How do I want my life to be? How will I be truly happy? I went for a walk yesterday, and I was at peace. The sky was so blue, the wind so gentle~ My mind was empty, my heart was calm. I’ve made my decision, my dreams are clear, and from this moment on, I’m chasing them.
To my family,
Ah Lung, you’re my only brother, my life will be with a lot less smiles and laughter without you. Mii, I can’t count all the arguments and disagreements we have had, but I know you only mean well for me. Pa, I know you’ve always tried to protect me from the world and mistakes. All you’ve done means much to me, now...it’s time to let me walk through life, fall, and make my own mistakes. Knowing all of you will be there for me when I get up again is more than enough.
To my friends who care for me, and I for them,
I remember the experiences I shared with each of you, and they will forever be a part of me. Some of you have gone away, for different reasons. Near or far, I hope we can continue to count on each other. Everyone’s going through different things right now, but I’ll always be there to help if anyone needs me. Please wait patiently for my 1st OR 2nd pay, I’ll belanja you guys one by one :)
To the one I love,
You know me best, because I share my heart with you. The moments with you...are always my happiest. You’ve done as much as you can for me, your love helps me grow stronger. With you...I can be myself, I can be weak, I can show you my true heart and soul. Every word you’ve said to me, I listened and tried to understand.
Forgive me for all the things I’ve said and done that hurt you, forgive me for pushing you away. You deserve my trust & my faith. Doubting you, means I doubt myself. To make things better, I know I have to become more mature, positive, independent. I have to be myself & grow into the person I want to be.
To me,
Keep things simple~
Be brave and don’t be scared of changes, you can make them changes for the better~
Change, but always stay true to yourself~
Treat everyone you love as well as you can~
When you’re emotional, stop, take a deep breath, and keep calm~
Make your decisions for the right reasons, and after considering all the choices and consequences of those choices~
Be positive~
Love like you’ve never been hurt before~
Don’t settle for a safe life because you’re scared of trying & failing, Reach for your Dreams~
Experience everything that life has to offer~
Learn from your failures but, try everything FRESH like you’ve never failed before~
Most of all, don’t hold yourself back~
Live your life with no regrets, cause you only have one life~

Nightmare
It has been a long time before I have a nightmare. This time, it is really frightening because it was real and related to something that I'm facing. It was about me and my parents. The nightmare freaks me out because this fear of mine have been a drawback for my confident and life in doing decisions. I only realise that it was so important and threatening to my thoughts that I would fear it happen again.
Fear of being rejected and not recognised by my parents. Fear of being the useless member of the family. Fear of everything from my parents. Dropping expectation of my community and my family. Those are stopping me from breaking down my barriers that is stopping me from open up myself to others and God. The real issues is not on the fear but me myself putting down my pride and barrier. I wouldn't say that the problems lies at my parents but rather, the problems lies on my confession of my sin and surrender and submit myself to God.
So what is the issue with surrendering myself to God. Denying myself and carrying our cross daily and follow Christ. IT is an issue for my christian living and also my growth in Christ. All this nightmare happen for a reason and I believe it has a purpose in my growth and maturity as a christian.
What's wrong with this surrendering and submitting myself to God gonna do with my nightmare?
Does it have to do with my decision that I gonna make for my studies and my addiction & idol & idleness?
I do think that I have the asnwer. The answer to my surrendering and submission to God. Obedience that I need to follow to GROW in Christ. I really pray that God and me will work out something and I not merely listen to it but follow it.
Putting Christ First
Matthew 6:33
Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.

My Daylight Robbery in 61 (Petaling Jaya)
It was an exciting moment of thrill and adrenaline rush throughout my body. I feel a lot alive compare to the few days before. I felt the basic instinct of surviving, I felt I was alive.
It happen a few hours ago...
(Well, before I tell you the story, let's have a glimpse at what happen long long time ago... this post : The Day I was Afraid)
All this happen around 1pm, 17 Feb 2009, yeah it is today...
Lance was back from paying the bills, waiting for me downstairs. I was making myself ready at the 2nd floor to tapau all my rubbish to move to his house. Then suddenly, I heard some people coming in our house, I realise something is going wrong and run down and saw 2 malay guys wearing helmet asking, "Mana XXX? Dia tinggal sini, panggil dia." The moment I heard this, I sense that something is wrong, so I stop one of the big guy from going up to the 2nd floor. He was wearing a blue jeans,white collar shirt and a silver helmet. The moment I try to stop him from moving, he took his "parang" out.
You know la, when psychotic people like me saw a parang, sure I will run back to my room. I locked myself in my room and started shouting "Tolong!". I don't know why I shout in malay, maybe because they were Malays??? Straight after I shout, the door was break and the "parang" is in front of me. I dunno why, but he ran down back to where Lance is.
At that moment, my mind only focus on running. So where's the best place to run? Definitely the balcony, which I will jump if they try to hurt me. So I quickly take the keys hanging beside me and open the balcony's door and stay outside the fence of the balcony (I forgot to lock it, damn.) . I took off my shirt and wave to anyone that I saw. Only my neighbour reponse to my help, other people was just passing by. ( What a sad scenario...) I use my body language and movement of my lips to tell her that I was robbed. She ask her maid to call the police.
Right after that, the big guy come and look for me. Shit, the "parang" still in his hand. I know I have to surrender. So I let him search my pockets, and luckily I hide my stuff under my bed but unfortunately, my phone is in my pocket T_T. He took my phone and run down to the living room. I don't know what they are doing there, but a moment later, I saw a bike with 2 person on it, speeding out from our house.
That was the time when my rational mind come back to me, I ran down and grab the phone that the neighbour hand it to me and contact the police.
Description of the Suspect :
First Suspect - Around 30 year old Malay male, 175cm, Bigger size than me. wearing blue jeans ,white collar shirt and wearing silver helmet when they robbed us.
Second Suspect - Malay male with unclear age. He was wearing orange chocolate stripes shirt.
Both Suspect was suspect to take drugs before they rob us.
They was riding on a bike with plate WBQ 8841.
The ronda police came 5mins after the event took place. I'm glad the police did their job. Those are not normal police, they are armed police. I feel like I'm in a police movie. Anyway, we did our job by reporting to the new section 17 Police Department near the nasi kandar there. ( Reminder: We must always make a report no matter how inconvinience it is to do those report.) We were ask to go to the cirminal police departmeent at mutiara damansara to be interviewed by Inspector Kalang. Handsome man with a good manner. It was a total different experience from what I had in Rawang. The police in Rawang was rude! We finish our questioning and we heard back for home. The police was there to take photos and look at the surrounding. One weird part of it was, why are they asking me about the price of the rental and house??? The 1st police until the last police ask the same question.
The end of my story and my experience.
Please remember this number plate WBQ 8841 and take a photo of the driver and mail it to me. Please, your cooperation will definitely improve PJ's calm and peaceful environment :D.
After the robbery, lance and me discussed on the factors that cause this robbery.
1. We didn't LOCK our DOORS!
2. NO CURTAINS blocking their view inside the house
3. They realize we are moving house. Rubbish all outside the house.
4. Lastly, it was lance 1st time, he is still a virgin. :D He was robbed of his virginity and dignity in surprise :D.
Viewing from a psychological aspect, there is a few factors that save and delay us from harm.
1. The moment we sense danger, seek for safety and help. An example for my experience is that I run upstairs and lock myself in the room. While in the room, I shout as loud as I can for help. That anyhow, alert the dogs and my neighbour.
2. Seek for open space or places that normally public can see. Well, I think I did that pretty well. I ran to the balcony and wave my shirt for help again. And that was a critical move, it cause the robber to hesistate stabbing me in open air. It was also the time where my neighbour saw me. A mistake is that I didn't lock the balcony door. Ish!
3. Our house is too messy to really find anything valuable. HAHA, I have to say, making ourselves a mess actually helps.:D
4. Hide your belongings in places that is totally unpredictable. I hide it under my bed.
There's always something disspointing in tragedy like this, here's one.
Never ever just stop and ignore shouts that come out suddenly. Those are critical moments where crime was happening. Don't be idle, be alert and look for the source. You might actually save a life from being curious and brave. That's what nowadays people lack of, being curious.
Another thing is that people seems to critize on the event that is happening and ignore the feelings and emotion of the victim. Those people are people I call them 马后炮. They only help to make you more troublesome and making you feeling down after what had happen. I pity lance, cause he gonna go through that later tonight.

Subject: Rise In Crime Rate In Klang Valley
Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2003
Dear Ladies & Gentlemen
Key this number into your handphones! Please be careful!
Some good advises for the prevention of crime.
The telephone number 03-22626555 is to Bukit Aman!
Hotline Wilayah Police: 03-20520199
It was brought to our attention by the city police that
there has been a 7% rise in crime rate in Klang Valley (Kuala
Lumpur) over the weeks.
These crimes are mainly Bag Snatching, House Break-Ins, Car Thefts
and etc. By far Bag Snatching has been the one with the biggest
increase and police is advising especially ladies to avoid walking
about with hand bags if possible.
During the meeting it was also brought to our attention that the
emergency number 999 is at times not well manned so calls can go
unanswered. This happened recently when the German Ambassador tried
calling 999 when his house was broken into and could not reach
police
in time to avoid the robbery. Police now have a control centre
telephone number and everyone should be able to call in case of
emergency. The number is 03 2262 6555. Please keep this number handy
and educate your family members on this.
Please find below some tip on Bag Snatching.
Bag snatching.
Never carry a handbag, but instead try a backpack style worn
correctly or a 'bum bag'. Do not carry anything in your bag you
cannot afford to lose. Be particularly mindful of your bag when you
are on your hand phone, loading the car, getting in and out of a
taxi
in a crowded area or if motorbikes are coming past you. To help
prevent snatch thieves taking your phone, switch it to vibrate, keep
it in your pocket and use a hands free set while walking ? If they
can't see or hear it, its less likely to attract attention. Walk
away
from the kerb edge, not along the side of the road.
Mugging.
Be suspicious if you get a puncture after leaving a bank or ATM. It
is possible that someone saw you withdraw the cash and placed the
nail in your tyre so they could grab it as they offer to help you
change your wheel. Be suspicious of people offering to help you into
your car with shopping etc. It's easy for them to snatch a bag when
you are occupied with kids or bags.
Sexual assaults/Improper advances.
With an assault, scream, shout, fight, run? Do whatever is.
Necessary to attract attention to yourself and get out of the area
fast. It goes without saying that most attacks of this type tend to
happen in isolated, dark or empty places ? Avoid such places if
alone
and make sure that you have your hand phone available ? If you are
unhappy, start making calls, describing the man/ the taxi driver,
registration number, location, anything that will put the attacker
off before hand. With improper advances; most offences of this type
tend to happen in public, and in crowded places; particularly on
buses and in trains. The best way to deal with this is SHOUT,
directly at the offender or in his general direction and tell him,
in
no uncertain terms that you do NOT want him to touch you. Don't get
off at the next station, unless its your stop and there's people
with
you. If its in the workplace? Report it immediately.

Graduation in MMU 2008
Memories is always the best when you look back at it. Looking at the things that happen within this year. It makes me wonder, did I make mistakes that I can learn? I would say yes, and there's a lot of them. Mistake that would make me grow within and without. Relationships that I never thought I would have, life that makes me appreciate and times that I wasted upon.
God spare us with things that we never wanted but always needed. I think it is time for me to really think about issues that I'm really facing. Since the days in MMU, I have learn to express myself in blog. A blog that I never thought it would be my diary that makes me who I am. Issues that I already had it even before I join MMU. A lot of things happen during my duty as a student and a believer of Christ. Would that be enough and prepared me to accept the reason behind my life and purpose?
I'm still pondering on this question of life. Would it be everlasting or just a temporary issues? Well definitely a good point for me to start my life with.
I wonder, how does it feel to miss someone?

Wes from Kentucky
Wes from Kentucky visited us who is in Malaysia. This is what happen during his visit and we enjoy being with him.
We celebrated Andrew's Birthday.

We had a SMALL chat before we go to sleep.
We had our English class together and we played MAFIA. I'm totally a psychotic MAFIA.
We hang out in some of the famous places among the student.
We had our Batman: Dark Knight in TGV. A freaking cool movie.
I forced him to finish the ugliest food you can find in Malaysia.
He told us about the slumps in Philippines.
He was a person like me, maybe slightly better. A person with clear goals but lack of motivation and discipline. High flexibility and adaptation skills.A person that God will definitely bless and uses. My prayers to him is that he learn about God in the stricter way and being able to excel better than me. Hopefully that the next time I met him, he will grow in the way of a excellent Christian in God's eyes. Amen.

God have given me a few oppourtunity and chance to re-do something that I have done wrong. Will God take back what He have given me? Well I think He will, since He is the almighty one. I just hope that things will go well when everything is not what I thought it is.
We went to Ipoh with Vieng, a navigator from California.

Vieng in RED.
He wanted to visit the fighting fish(Betta splendens),FF in Ipoh. According to him, Ipoh is well known for his FF breeding. The FF is export to the States because of their tough scales fish compare to other country's FF.
So, he got some breeder's name from his FF buddy and we are on our way to IPOH.

Actually there's something attracting our attention. hehe. Look at Dato's tummy, it looks like it's growing bigger.

KY talking to her client, distraction that makes Malaysian late for their meetings.
Well, when we said that we are on our way, we are really ON the way, or we haven't started the trip yet in Malaysian context. According to an OBSERVATION done by Vieng, Malaysian have a good habit of not fixing their time schedule in the correct day and time. When we say 5pm, it might be an hour later, or 12 hours later. It depends on who you're looking at :D.
Before we head for the farms for FF, we stop by a place in Ipoh to meet KY's (not KY gel) family in some stall that is famous for their Ipoh Yong Tau Foo under a BIG tree.

They really have nice and cheap food in Ipoh. We had a conclusion of why Ipoh food is nicer compare to KL. According to Dato, it is because of the water. Their water is better in terms of minerals (hard water). Hence, not only the food is nice, the "lui" from Ipoh also nice hahaha.


*Winks*
After filling our stomach with nice food and nice VIEWs, we are now ready to head for the fightings, the legend and the birth place of FF!!! The place we are heading to is Guntong, a small village famous for FF. If I'm not wrong, the place we are heading, is the only place that is famous for FF. They actually have a website of their own.

The FISH pond.
When we reach there, I wasn't excited at all because I'm not that into FF. But when I listen to Vieng and the breeder talks about the FF (since I'm the translator, I'm forced to understand), I start to like FF. Well, the interesting part of a FF would the gambling. Since I'm a lousy but entertaining gambler, that do attract my attention :P.

The baby Fishes.

The Water that looks like URINE!!! So be careful when you buy your fish, they might be swimming in someone's recycled URINE. Save the water, Save the World!!!
We had some chit chat with the workers, some photo making, some door hitting on the forehead of a kid, and we are back to some FOOOODDD.

The Famous Tauge Chicken

Souvenir for our House.
I was left alone in Ipoh with my bag and something special. Now, it's time for my one day backpacking in a foreign town that I never come to stay at before. Ipoh looks like the small town of Kuantan, a place that I grew up in and had a lot of memories. I enjoyed a lot of the slow moving pace of Ipoh. I also enjoyed the old grandma in Ipoh and her preety granddaughter. The cheap and nice food and also the rain that remind me of my childhood in Kuantan.
It smells like Kuantan and it sounds like one too. The bird chirping makes me feel like I'm in Kuantan. The fresh breeze in the morning and in the bus, remind me of the primary and secondary school memories that I had in the school buses. The gal that I'm trying to be friend with and friends I make in the buses.
I think a lot when I'm alone, I think through almost everything that I'm going through in my recent new born life. The relationships I have, the people I know and the life that God gave me.
Thanks God for everything.

Internship
Day 9
Wake up quite early today for the first time, was punctual. 2-Kelvin, 1-Habit.
In the previous few days of internship, I was sent to Sg Long and Setapak to work. Well, every time when I was send to a place to work, I gain new experience that I never expect I should.
In Sg Long, I totally salute to my collegue for her way of controlling the crowd. Totally in control. I should learn from her more often. I also met my old friends whom I haven't meet for like freaking 6-8 years. I was so happy that day that I almost get high. haha.
Speak well in English doesn't mean that you can perform well in public. The confidence and the bravery needed to speak in public(strangers) is actually more than what I expected. Things might even go chaos when you're not prepare mentally.
In Setapak, I realise that my uncompleted engineering background actully helps me to educate people about soft skills. I didn't wasted my dad's money in engineering! Good! Hope he have cold down after he sees my result.
Never did I expected to work in UTAR, and never did I expected that there's people that I admire in Softskills Unit.
Having a family and some background that he is not kinda proud of, he is indeed a person with a lot of experiences. You can learn a lot of things from him, from politics to anything that you can relate. He jokes when you never notice. So beware of him when he is around, he might make you dizzy :D.
Being in a place where's chinese is the main population, she is definitely someone I look up to. A friendly person that I hope to be friend with.
I can speak personally with a few people but not in the crowd. It was my weakness. I was never prepared when I'm in big crowd. But if it is just a small group of people, I would be able to take control of the situation. This is also what I am good at. Mood itself, will also affect my performance, whether in presentation or attitude. This, I think I need to learn to be consistence with my lifestyle and Take Charge.
Working in here doesn't seem to be same as working in Celcom. It is a different environment and atmosphere. Working here has been an experience even if it was only been 9 days.
Suprisingly, soft skills unit was visited by a lot of student. I do hope UTAR gonna make this unit as independent as possible. As a University that focus on soft skills, improvement on management will definitely help her to grow.
Conscience guide us in making right decisions and let us aware of our sins, but JC allow us to correct the sin that we have done and be congruence with our conscience.
Oh ya, petrol price increase doesn't help the nation to aware of the traffic jam in KL. Totally ignorance.

Internship
Day 2
Punctual today. 1-Kelvin 1-Habit. Well, today was totally out of expectation when they said they gonna bring me to Setapak campus to promote their programme in FES, Faculty of Engineering and Science. This trip allows me to explore not only the student of FES but also the officer of SSCU that bring me along.
Both officer are graduates from TAR, one from KTAR another from UTAR. KTAR graduate gave me the feeling that she is still searching for a right job. On the other side, UTAR graduate gave me the euthasiam of being an officer in SSCU. A person who likes her work.
From observing both person's working attitude, I found out that both is at a different level of maturity within themselves. Although I won't say that I'm mature enough to talk about it, I just couldn't not notice the differences.
At the end of day, I was sent to finish my power point slides in ICT lab.
Trying my best to adapt to my migraine during these 2 days. I was having a heavy migraine that makes me couldn't sleep well at all. It continues to be like this for 2 days.

Internship
Day 1
First day of work, I was late. 0-Kelvin 1-Habit. I didn't check the working hours for my office. That was totally screw up. Besides that, my alarm and clock is set an hour late. Damn... Well, mistake noted and points taken.
I met a guy who is working together as an interns as me. Well, he didn't make it the second day. To me, he just need to put down his ego as what simon said, and everything can be done easily without any challenge. Just put down all the thoughts that he have in his mind, he might be someone who is excellent. Still, I had some nice chat with him.
Another thing is, I was told to finish a power point so that I can present in front all of the student and I need to finish it in ONE night? That was tough. Luckily, I already been through an intensive training with Keng Yin as her part-time power point editor aka robot. So I manage to slip through the challenge that the supervisor gave me. What a RELIEF!!!
Oh ya, my company profile:
copied from the SSCU handbook.
Soft Skills Competency Unit (SSCU)
1. Background
With its holistic vision, the University looks beyond developing the students academically to providing them with competitive skills required in the employment market. Steps are taken to enhance students' skills that are relevant for the transition from the classroom to the working world.
Today, employers expect in the potential employees, a combination of intellectual competence and soft skills for example, communication and interpersonal skills, public speaking, self confidence and the right attitude for the job. Thus, graduates must prepare themselves to "hit the ground running".
2. Establishment of Soft Skills Competency Unit (SSCU)
In view of the above background, the University set up a Soft Skills Competency Unit in October 2005 with the following objectives:
3. Soft Skills Competency Programmes
The programmes offered focus on the five (5) Main Key Skills as stated below:
4. Duration of the programme
The duration of the above programmes can range from a few hours to a few weeks. These programmes are not exhaustive and more will be added from time to time with feedback from the employers and graduates.
5. Mode of Learning:
The focus will be on experiential learning where participants are encouraged to acquire the competency skills by participating in activities and drawing in their own experience. Trainers are from the corporate world with working knowledge and skills.
UTAR students are well aware of the importance of soft skills. The unit known as the Soft Skills Competency Unit (SSCU) was set up in October 2005. It started with only one programme – the Intensive Immersion Programme - to enable students to acquire important work-related skills such as Communication skills, Leadership and Team-building skills, Emotional Intelligence, Thinking Skills and Entrepreneurial & Innovative skills. UTAR hopes that graduates equipped with these skills will be able to meet the challenges of the business environment. The skills are designed to help students make the transition from the classroom to the working world.
There are about 100 programmes offering training in soft skills to UTAR students.

Exam
Some photos that I have taken during our mid term test for Counselling.
Before Exam.

Revising like mad for last minute revision. The gal with a happy face is the 4 flat scorer, so she is not worried at all.

2 Leng Zai with spec trying to discuss some serious issue in Counselling subject.

Well, the discussion continues with the other specky leng zai.
Behaviour in Exam.


The V or Peace sign poser. (Top: Vince, Bottom: Cheng)

Wow, he can even post the international sign language while rushing for this tense exam.

Sms is a route to success when you do not know anything about the question. ( PS. He is not cheating, it's after the exam).


Let me see, they have "GOOD" eyes.Woww Double vision. :D

I'm just curious, can he read the exam questions with this lengthy hair?

Har! Don't try to cheat, I can see you.


The last resort when you really can't think of an answer - Dream and hopefully that Uncle Chow, the boogey man, will provide you the answer.
Some nice angle shots from my table.
