Out Of Time

I'm back again, not sleeping yet again. Poker is all the rage these few days, so is j-rock and anime songs. Awesome. I play facebook poker. It's kinda addictive. Me and my friends can just sit and play poker for few hours straight. As i say i'm into j-rock these few days, these are my recommendation

Donten - Does (Gintama OP)
Aqua Timez - Velonica (Bleach OP)
Tommy Heavenly7 - Papermoon (Soul Eater OP)

Best nyer. Thanks to AlecKor for the songs! He big J-Pop fan. Can ask him into japanese songs.

Am busy with Final Year Project stuffs. Gotta complete the system specs by this week asap. Still slacking behind, playing fifa and poker. While exams are coming up soon, soon as in like 3 weeks or so. Only one paper for this semester, moral then i'm off to industrial training for 6 months. I'm stepping into the battlefield! Woot.

About my internship, i got accepted into AmFinance. Their building is located at Jalan Raja Chulan, the AmBank building. Kinda lucky to be accepted and am happy because i do not need to be interviewed again. But then i will be attending another interview next week to help the college as the MQA or Malaysian Qualification Agency would like to interview the students.

I should be sleeping man, but i'm still awake.

Just now i went to Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa, Kampung Baru and had nasi lemak. It's just so so and the teh ice taste a little way off the ordinary teh ice i have. It's kinda pricey as a normal nasi lemak cost RM2.95, while toppings like chicken or sotong are priced from RM3.95 - RM4.95. A teh ice cost RM2.95. Not really worth it. Anyway, the place i went is just behind my place at Taman Melati Utama.

What should i do for my seminar, i'm still confused. Not sure what to pick. Suddenly i feel very hungry right now.

Random post. Sleep now. Blog later.

until then!

Being on top.

I'm having insomnia, that's the reason i'm blogging at this time in the morning. I will be having a Skill Based Assessment at 9AM later, i'm so gonna be in trouble.

The reason for this entry is about me and my studies. I was not a smart kid, never was. I would say i'm average. My grades were quite good during primary, but when i got to Standard 3, i just started to be not that good, i dropped to the second class, constantly playing a fool. I scored 4As 2B in my UPSR. As i moved on to secondary, i was even worst. I flunk papers, score some, got 4As 3Bs in my PMR. I'm still consider as average, always in the top 200 in school out of 400 students. For my SPM, i only manage to score 2As with a bunch of B,C and D.

Come to think of it, i am just an average student, i'm not a genius like some of the fellas in my school, scoring As for every single paper they get on their hands. I never thought that i would be that good. Never even crossed my mind. I'm just average. But i believe in hardwork. If you put effort, you will definitely gain results. The results you get will be the same as the amount of effort you put in.

Moving on to College. I did pretty well for my diploma. Scoring 3.704 for my CGPA. I would say that i am surprise that i'd do that well. Maybe it's because that i actually am interested in what i was studying. People start to think that i'm one of the smart ones, the one on top. Honestly, i never really regard myself as that. When people tell me that "You sure straight As la" or "You scared what? Always score so high" and the best "You won't know whats the failing grade cause you have never been near there at all". Well, i really did not know about the failing grade. I actually gain something from that, i became more confident. I even earned myself a scholarship for my Advance Diploma course which i would never expected myself to get. But i believe some regarded me as a selfish fella that would not share my work. I am actually surprise that people that are better than me will think that i'm actually really good. It just feels not right. I remember a classmate once said that he thinks that i'm smart and wished he has good grades like me. To think about it that the fact is he was as good as i am and he did better actually in the previous finals. I just find it funny that people think that i'm actually smart!

I'm not that smart seriously, i'm only average. Maybe i get good grades because i put in extra effort. But thoughout all this times, i tend to surprise myself. Last semester results, i got 2As,2Bs and a C+. I was shocked that i got a C+ because it's been a while i scored a C. This actually pulls me back to reality. The fact that sometimes i think that i'm already good enough, is not true. My lucky streak ends here. It shows that, i am slacking and i'm not putting enough effort. Other students are scoring straight A's. I find it embarassing to get a C. But then i shouldn't, because this is what i get for the effort i put in.

I always thought i was lucky, scoring good grades was luck. I don't know why i think like that but maybe it's because i'm not confident. Now i'm not on top, i'm just average. Always have been. What i need to do is to put more effort to turn average into good.

This is reality, this is what i need, this shows that i'm not perfect, there are going to be ups and downs. I'm not like those people that score every single paper. I know i'm not, i know my ability. I have not the brains of smart people. But maybe, a little effort can change average to good. Reality sucks, but i would have to pull through. I tell myself, a C+ was not what you expected, so work hard the next time.

It's wierd, looking back at the past, and looking at the present. What have i become, the things that i've done. The difference between me 10 years ago and now. Still,i wanna be on top, and that's for sure.

Looks like i just completed paragraphs of gliberish.

I got 2 hours of sleep before i get up at 7am for revision.

Until then.

Melaka Trip Part 1

So, last Monday was a public holiday. Me and my friends decided to take a road trip down to Melaka for food and sightseeing. We took off in the morning and there was me, Way Shoon, Crystal and Sze Ling. It's a two hour trip down to Melaka, i've never drive on the North-South Expressway after KL. We reached Melaka at ard 11 and head straight to town. There wasn't anything to see around Ayer Keroh on the way to town. There are a few farms such as butterfly farm, crocodile farm and so on. So in we went into Melaka Town. There are a lot of one way streets in Melaka, makes it kinda confusing. We parked at Jonker Street and headed down for lunch. 


Our first stop was this small cendol stall where there are so many coke collectibles that could actually make him a millionaire. 


Coke Fanatic

The Nyonya Cendol here is very tasty. It's different compared to the cendols i have back in Penang, mostly due to the Gula Melaka. One spoon makes me want it more. It's really one of the must try when you're in Melaka. 


Cendol!


From Right To Left: Way Shoon, Crystal, Sze Ling, Cendol Seller.

The stall is just right in front of the Chicken Rice Ball Shop, Hoe Kee Hainan Chicken Rice Shop. That's where we headed after having our cendol!

Not many pictures were taken in the shop cause we were very hungry. Although the girls did have time to camwhore.


Chicken Rice Balls!


Me Hungry!

It was kinda delicious. The rice balls look like fish balls and they won't break as though they are glued together but once you bite it, it does not feel all goey or sticky, it tastes and feels like rice. Awesome eh.

After our lunch, we walked around Jonker Street looking around.


Jonker Walk.


Goofing Around.

We walk around and enter a few shops, nothing really catches my eye. It's actually kinda expensive to buy stuff there. A lot of gifts and souviniers. As we explored Jonker Street, it started raining. We could not go anywhere as it continued raining for the whole day. We then walked to a WanTan Mee stall over at Jalan Tun Tan Cheong Lok which was recommended by The Star Newspaper's Street Food guide. It wasn't that good actually. We then headed to the Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum. We could not get pictures in there cause it wasn't allow. It was kinda interesting to learn about it.


It rained....

The rain then got heavier and we had to walk to the car and proceed to someplace else. We wanted to go to the Red Church and AFamosa but the rain wouldn't let us. We drove around and we spotted this tower that looks like the space shot in Genting but it was for sightseeing. 


Not take by me, But it's damn nice. By a flickr uploader name p o l i n i.

So up we went cause it was raining and this looked kinda fun when it's raining. It went high up and started spining round. We can see the straits of Melaka and also Melaka town. I had a headache when i came down from it. Guessed the spinning made me nauseous. 


Us in Menara Taming Sari.

I will talk about the second part later. It's getting late and i'm sleepy.

P/S: Manchester United Won 2 - 0 against Inter Milan on Wednesday night. Looking foward to the big game this weekend. Liverpool - Manchester United. Will be there cheering for my team. Glory Glory!

Until then!

Update update Update update!

So, Manchester United won the Carling Cup over the weekend! I could not bear watching the moments in extra time when Tottenham's attack all drifted away from the goal. Then it came to penalties, reminds me Moscow where Ronaldo missed.

But this guy,

Man of The Moment

Ben Foster is certainly proving a point in the game. I can see him in the first eleven real soon after Van Der Sar retires. He made really good saves during the match and is determined enough to save one of the penalties. I hope to see more of him soon.

And definitely more of this.


Anyone up for a Quadruple this season?

Been watching Friends for the past few days. Love it. Am at season 3 now. Who doesn't love Friends?

Been kinda busy with Final Year Project, not busy doing it but thinking about ideas and technology to implement. With my moral assignments due soon, this week is kinda pack with work to do, but anyhow, tomorrow is a friday and friday is a no class day. So me and friends have decided we should take a break to....

MELAKA!!

A one day trip to the historical city and of course the delicious delicacies! Still considering though and the fact that we are heading there clueless because we do not have any idea how to get there by car. But i will update if i am going there tomorrow !

I still have not get any interviews for industrial training. Still waiting for updates from supervisors.

Saturday will be the release of Advance Diploma Semester 2 exam results. Not particularly looking forward to it but no choice. I hope i will do well cause last semester was really kinda difficult. Anything can happen so wish me luck!

I'ma update later.

until then!
