Why???
I'm a Muslim, so maybe I'm a little bit bias, but I'm sure in a modern society, freedom of speech and expression is so very important, and so too the human rights. If the bikinis (sometimes topless) is allowed in public places, why covering yourself is a "symbol" of an oppression against women. Why the government want to control what people should be wearing? It up to the individual rights to do whatever their pleases with their life, as long as it's not a crime. When the hell "dress code" part of the crime anyway...
When I was in Manukan last year, me and my friend (and many more ppls on that island) encounter a tourist who's swimming and sunbathing topless! Malaysia is a Muslim country, and yes many KKrian is Christian, but we still Asian, we don't just go around topless on the beach! But out of the respect their culture (even though I don't think she respect ours), we just mind our own business and cared less about them.
It's all about respect and understanding people, no word is needed... or a freaking law!! If you think Muslim women whose wear burka is part of the oppression, maybe you should do a background check on them. I'm sure many educated Muslim women believe wearing a burka or hijab is part of women empowerment nowadays. And if a Muslim women choose to NOT wearing a hijab, it also part of their choice and human rights. We are in 21st century and still there are people from the 19th....

Weekend Roundup
I like to tell you a story about my neighborhood in a 'dark' right now, so I can't online from home, but what the h***, let's continue this post first... ok starto....
As what you (yes, you...there are not alot of ppl actually read this crap!) already knew, I'm not a 'sociable' person, so I rarely going out during the weekend. I like to sit at home watching TV and play games rather than going out looking for parking and line up at the register. But as I grew "older" I want to visit as many places as I can, not shopping mall, or zoos or theme park...if you know what I mean.
The next day, I have an appointment at the beauty shop (coz I bought the coupon). I end up buying their product and the sign up for the long treatment!!! They goes my fees for 2 semester!! I admit I have a very terrible skin (u know right....), and their so lovely and sweet talk....ARGH!!!!!!! I'm in the phase of regreting my decision..... T__T. I hope my mom don't found out about this....
Something funny...
BTW.... I have 2 more years to 30!!!! I wish live could be simple....

What going on so far...
Damn I make fun of myself!!!
Enough with that, so what's going on so far...with me....
(But seriously guyz, Vista is soooo annoying!!)
I'm listening to Utada new english album. The album is great but the lyrics kindda akwards, mostly because Utada often writes in japanese. But it still awesome! ppls with money, go and buy the album.
(I got the above pic from 1n2dfansub, thanks whose ever posted it there)I'm crazy about 6 guyz on a trip and got tortured by the production crew to make a funny and hilarious TV show, this is 1박2일 or 2 days 1 night (1n2d). I got tired with tears and hardship of Kdrama, and the lovey dovey teenage Jdorama, so I switch to the super funny variety show! But I still watch kdrama and jdorama, coz it still fun...sometimes, in a very selective way....

It's been a while....
First, lets look of what I've been doing these days. My daily routines is morning classes from Mon-Thurs, sometimes I have class in the afternoon, sometimes I don't. Every week or two, I have assignment to do, and usually the due date is within two weeks. So even I don't have a new assignments this week, I have A LOT waiting in line to be done (procrastination is part of me!!). In fact, within 3 weeks to go before final, I have roughly 5 assignment need to be done, and 1 or 2 maybe start to line-up next week (the question is not up yet). But do not worry, I'll get it done, if not consider my Master goodbye, so I MUST DO IT!!
During weekends, I've no classes, and this is the best time for me to do all my assignments. But again temptation is every where for me, especially I follow certain shows that I LOVE so much and YouTube is up 24/7. If you know me, I mean really really know me, I'm so damn IN LOVE with 1박2일, so every Monday I'll watch the show from the net (this is Sunday show, usually on Monday "nice ppl" will start uploading it on the net). And I also follows Boys over flower Korea version (I'd watch the Taiwan and japan ver, and Hana Yori Dango Japan Ver is the BEST so far), so Tuesday and Wednesday I'll be watching that also (BOF Kor aired on Monday and Tuesday in Korea, so you can found it on the net the next day after it aired). I also DL several Jdorama, and haven't finish it all ( just finish with Mei-Chan No Shitsuji, in line Gokusen 3, Bara no nai hanaya, Love Shuffle and Arifureta Kiseki). Now you see why I don't have time for assignments, let alone blogging!!!
What else I do??? Ehm....nothing really, besides going to Singapore last 2 weeks, I've done nothing interesting. Maybe I should start doing something to achieved my dreams, but what is my dreams actually??? This question I could not answer, as well as these;"What is your goal in life??" or "Picture yourself 20 years form now" or "What you wanna do next??". For the past 10 years of my life, I've been searching the "true" me, what make me happy,...my purpose living in this world...yet, I found nothing. I'm still clueless...

Silent
And that's why my friends, I've been silent for a while. Not that busy (I actually have a few test last week and...tomorrow!!!), but I had this so called "writer-block", even though I'm just a blogger. Anyway, I'll definitely start to write something...about my horrible experience dealing with UTM management, maybe I'll start tomorrow once the test is over.
Till then...ciao...

Wasting Time...
Even though I'm not Chinese, but we Malaysian have a wonderful 4 days holiday celebrating Chinese New Year. I usually watch TV a lot during holidays, but somehow nowadays I found TV is boring. My taste is different. I enjoyed JPOP and asian entertainment. I laugh like crazy watching korean variety show. My favourite NO.1 show is not House (NO.2) or Heroes or Grey's, is 1박 2일 (1 night 2 days). So during this loooong holiday, I spend almost 12 hours a day watching X MAN on youtube, for 2 consecutive days (well, my Internet is not that fast). I don't watched all but I really love the "Of Course/Dangyunhaji" game. It's really funny! Here one of my fave round.

New place, new life
There is nothing fun or easy being a student again. I now realize why I failed or barely pass most of my subject during my 'bachelor degree' years. I never actually study! Seriously, I study just for exam. I don't know how I actually graduated.
My 'new' life so far has been hard, sometime (well, I do have fun). My schedule is pack from mon-fri, I have tons of assignments to do and some I've no idea how to solve (automata and regular expression is killing me!), I need to figure out my project's title (HEADACHE!!) and find a supervisor, which is hard coz it's difficult to see a lecturer (they always NOT in their room!!), unless before or after class, and I need to find a scholarship or a study loan coz apprently nothing FREE in this world.
No matter how tough my life so far, I know I can survive this. I have to! I'm not passionate enough about study and research and all, but I somehow WANT this. I don't understand myself either...
On the different note, I currently BOYCOTTING all the AMERICAN product whose helping the Israeli attacks to Palestinian. I'll always thought I'm a small person with no impact what so ever to the world, but I still want to help. So, I currently avoiding McD (which my favourite!), coke and Starbucks (and many more once I know the list of products) for a week, and continue for another week and so on, until the killings stop in GAZA. I hope you my friends do the same.
Christmas in Singapore
27/12/2008
Christmas in Singapore
I was in Singapore with a friend, my x-colleague and one of my Jakarta’s partners. The plan was to have a return trip for a day, but it become 1박2일 adventure after hearing people stories about how grand the sales is in Singapore. By means sales, it’s not gonna be like KL. Singapore is famous with ‘super’ brand items, so that what we were aiming for. But before that, we need a place to sleep. Finding one is 2 hours walk for us, by foot, in the central city of Singapore. Well, we didn’t have any plan where to stay, let alone a reservation. The plan was to just go there and eventually we’ll find one, the cheapest hotel, or a hostel; basically we need a cheapest place to stay. Unfortunately we choose the wrong place.
Orchard road in Singapore is famous with line-up of shopping complexes through out the road. When you walk down the road from beginning (we started at Orchard Plaza) to the end at Tanglin Road, all you can see is label of brand items like Chanel, Gucci, YSL, Louis Vutton and many more that I don’t even know. Just imagine you walking at the KLCC and see Gucci, Fendi, Guess and Versace, except that you now seeing all that brand from outside the shopping complex, while you were walking, in every shopping complexes that you pass, through out the road. So, it makes sense that the hotels there are also ‘brand stuff’. We were not prepared with all the ‘wealthy’ stuff there. We were not innocence to think that there will be a budget hotel near by, actually there are. But we’re too stupid to think that we can just go there without a map, and a single clue or even a name of a hotel we were ‘researching’ before we get there. Anyway, after 2 hours of walk, and a crash to a 4/5 stars hotel asking for maps, we were settle at Lloyd’s Inn, next to SHA Villa, along Lloyd road, for S$100 per night (SHA Villa cost around S$150). Translation: around RM240++. There’s goes our budget!
After an hour rest, we head out to the famous Orchard road for some ‘window shopping’ before we decide tomorrow if we actually can afford it. Because it’s Christmas, part of the road was close for a special event, and the road itself was bright, sparkling and colorful with all the lights, trees and Christmas decorations they put along the road. That night, the street were pack with people, I means it has hundred and thousand of people from local to foreigner (mainly Westerner and rich Indonesian), shopping and celebrating Christmas there.
If a budget hotel is hard to find, halal food is even harder. You’ll be thinking like, “come on Singaporean also have Malays mah…so like Malaysia la…everything can eat punya”. You’re super dead WRONG! I already told my friend to eat at Larkin first before entering Singapore, but she said she was full. Nah, we were like fasting that day. Fast food joints like KFC and McD were also not that completely ‘safe’ (I don’t know if you were Singaporean and its still okay on your part) as what Johorian here told me. But when you walk for hours and very very hungry, that’s was our last resort. Again, unfortunately, because of the Christmas celebration and holiday, there were a lot of people that night, and all the McDs (Didn’t saw KFC though, don’t know why) we go were pack with people. Finally we found 3 possibly ‘Halal’ restaurants, a Malay (it close at 9pm, and it 9 already during that ‘searching’ time), an Indian Muslim and Indonesian. We settle at the Indonesian restaurant, and as usual I ordered ‘gado-gado’. That was the expensive ‘gado-gado’ I ever ate!
Tomorrow morning, we checked out at 10am and start our shopping spree after last night ‘observation’. My friend end-up with GUESS wallet costing S$53 and I’m with 2 Dorothy Perkins jeans (which is very suitable with my ass and size) at S$69. Now, if you think that’s cheap please let me know coz we not that ‘familiar’ with these kindda stuff. Besides we treated S$ like RM! Don’t know why, maybe because it’s so near…
After the ‘shopping’ activity end, we were looking for the famous lion, but end-up going to Marina Barrage. I think (coz we just there for a while) the Marina Barrage is an educational + operational place of water processing. The place though (and the view) was amazingly beautiful, so it’s not a waste to go there.
We finally found the lion after checking the map and asking a few people. As tourist usually do, takes some pictures and we plan to go home afterwards. However, we end up taking a short break to Bugis Junction and continue shopping some perfumes there. At first, the perfumes sound cheaper, but once I convert it at home, it almost the same with Malaysian price.
Here’s a tip about going in and out from Singapore. Never do it before and after office hour! We should go out at 8pm, coz boy, every line that you need to queue were looooong (bus, traffic and immigration). We queue up for the bus with the Malaysian worker there at 5pm and arrived at the Singapore immigration around 6pm, queue up again for the bus to Malaysian immigration around 7.15, and arrived at the immigration at 7.45pm, queue up again for bus to Larkin at 8pm, arrived at Larkin around 8.30pm. Usually the whole operation with will take less than an hour.
So next time if you going to Singapore, eat first, if can just sleep in JB and don’t enter (or out) during rush hour!

My "messed up" Life
22nd December 2008
I don’t know what I wanna do. Seriously, my life is so fucked-up right now that I barely can take my breath. My life before was easy, laid back and simple; exactly what I wanted after my graduation. But I never satisfy with that, I still felt emptied and unhappy. Maybe because of the worriedness I had every month, especially when it’s time to pay the bills. Or maybe there are other reasons, I don’t know…I still want more…of life, and me.
At first I thought I wanna become a writer, coz my head is creating new story everyday with images flashes through my brain with a leading lady never had her happily ever after. But sadly I sucked at writing. Whenever I start writing the first paragraph, or the first page, I never really can continue to the next phase. So I abandon that idea, but never truly give up (I start writing this blog to ‘practice’ my writing skills, with 'very' little improvement).
I envy people with ambition and passion. Because they basically love what they are doing, no matter how hard it is. Example, those in CNN’s ‘impact your world’, full-time moms and Kevin Rose (I love this guy, I wish he marry me ;p hahahaha…kidding, it’s a joke, ignore it, it just one of my many fantasies that never going to happen). I mean, they LOVE what they do, LOVE their JOB, ENJOY the life they currently living. I envied people like that, because that’s what I endlessly looking for, to live the life to fullest with happiest even though it hard work. I remember a quote from 8TV’s ‘Fieldtrip

I'm NOT that kind of girl!
I'm a care-free person. Means I like to do what I wanna do, without anyone blocking my way and I LOOOVEEE being SINGLE. Having said that (even thought it not enough to describe the WHOLE me), I also like to hang out with my friends, especially my old high-school friends, whose been long time no see. As I mostly living far a way from my family, these friends, especially males, were my some sort of 'helper' in my life. Especially things that guys usually knows like cars or electrical or hardware or something. Besides, I can't eat lunch alone (a practice I learnt from IPD) and I easily get bored when there is no TV or internet. So ladies, if I called your husband or boyfriend to hang out or need some help, please pleaseeeeee do not be jealous of me. I'm just one of your husband/boyfriend's friends, regular friends. If your husband/boyfriend was my school-mates, then DO NOT BE JEALOUS! Our batch was soooo small, around 50, and we knows what happen to everyone...we just one of high-school friends whose have a VERY CLOSE BOND!
However, if you guyz still worried, here a suggestion for you. Meet these guys and ask them to marry me. In order
- Takuya Kimura
- Andy Lau
- Kevin Rose and
- Shawn Yue
Cheers,

PTD Assessment (PAC) Dec 2008
YES, I finally pass the PTD exam after 4th try. When the assessment letter came, I was surprised coz this time it’s only 1 day assessment. Past PAC usually done in 2/3 days. Well I though maybe that’s a good thing, so we don’t need to run the ‘2.4 km’. Unfortunately that was not the case. PTD post this time will be offered as a contract basis, not permanent one, even you pass PAC and interview with a flying colour. You will only be offered permanent post after go through a few more evaluation, test and 6 month of Diploma Pengurusan Awam (DPA, I think???). They really make the PTD harder-to-get post, which is reasonable consider the pay and privileges the post offer.
So I'm not confident I'm going through to next round (the interview). But what the hell, at least I'd tried and had one-unforgettable experience. BTW, I'm at the airport right now, going to JB and bravely start a 'new life' there. I know maybe some of you thought I'm a fool for going through this 'master' plan, instead of staying and accept the DG41 offer. But I really want to challenge myself as I confident with myself and I can offer more to THE WORLD....cheh....
Ciao, good luck to me!!!Thursday, December 04, 2008
Generation Gap
I have 3 younger sisters and a younger brother who are still teenager. I remember back when I was in my teens, things that I like; music that I love, movies that I like and what hot and what’s not. My teens years was in the 90s, where boyband were really IN during that time; BSB, N-Sync and bunch others boyband from
Anyway, teenagers today were more advance than us, and a lot cooler too. They have internet, computers and handphone since…I don’t know, birth! And their more expose to the outside world via TV, ehm..ASTRO. As I observe my sisters and brother, they also easily can get what they want; mainly because my parent can afford it today, and they have a lot of choices out there, they can do what the hell they want to do!
Okay, move on to the things that they like. I wonder this A LOT; what’s up with Miley thing??? I mean really, why she suddenly BIG. It turn out my sisters were crazy about her, I still don’t get it why but now I understood why she is a big star. They are also CRAZY about High School Musical; I mean HSM is their all-time fave movies trilogy. Mine was Lord of The Ring trilogy and my big bro maybe Godfather (I don’t know, I just guess). See…its generation gap thing. I believe it soon change once they enter college and university, and to the ‘young adult’ world.

Tip of Borneo
I don't know why I waited this long to go here. Maybe because I'm Sabahan, so I don't really paying attention what we have on our own backyard. When I realize I'll be leaving Sabah SOON, I know I have to fuel-up my adventurous side, and start traveling and visiting the best places we have here.
As you guyz read and saw in my blog lately, I've been going all out for couple of weeks now. Involving my self with student's project so I can have 'free' and cheap holiday, visiting Manukan Island with my x-housemate from KL (as pic from below post), and last Saturday, I pack-up my housemates and drove them to the heaven on earth, to the end of Borneo, the Tip of Borneo or we Sabahan called it Tangjung Simpang Mengayau.
The best part for me was not the Tip itself, but the beach. It actually dangerous to swim there as the wave were very strong, especially during this time of the year, the rainy season. But you can resist to put your feet under the water as the sea looks green and the white sandy beaches look sparkling from afar. With no one actually on the beaches that day make it like 'you own' the beach! However, because we didn't brought extra clothes, plus hungry and my housemates have to work at 4pm that day, we didn't spend much time on the beach. By 12, we go to Kudat town and eat lunch before we journey back home. That short little time we have was amazing, and that was I hoping to put on my mind FOREVER.
