Lessons in life.

I feel i should blog about this so that i will remember this for life.

I don’t usually get into car accidents, maybe cause i’m such a safe driver or so I thought so. But earlier when I was driving out of my housing area on a very familiar road, I took the standard necessary precautions on exiting the road as it was quite a tricky one. But the next thing I knew, another car collided with mine.

My heart dropped for a moment. Okay, fair enough. Stop the car, on the hazard lights and come out and have a look. A working man emerged looking calm yet intimidating. Immediately in my mind I thought to myself, ok i’m confirm in the right, there’s no way I could have screwed up here.

The working man insisted that he’s not in the wrong and suggested that we lodge a police report to sort things out. I paused for a moment. Damn panic lar what else. I couldn’t handle the situation. So I told the fella to wait while I call my dad. Dad come out all blur and after I related the story he asked the working man to settle by paying 200 bucks and be on our way. But the working man kept calm and insited that he did nothing wrong.

While this was going on, I was examining both cars, and the more I think about it, the more I realised that I was in the wrong. All evidence points to it.  Panicking, I quickly suggested that we pay for our own damages and settle it. The working man agreed and we parted. But I knew that he was merciful on me. Actually it was I that would have to pay for his damages but I was too engulfed with fear and anger to admit it. I handled the situation badly.

Live and learn khai, live and learn. =(

Malacca Trip 17/10/08

We started out from Taman Tun at 9am and arrived at MMU Malacca at 10 30am going at 90 kmph in a 1.0cc Myvi, courtesy of Alvin Quah aka Takumi Fujiwara (drift king).

There we picked up Wei Loon from Penang who was gonna be our tour guide for Malacca =.=

After getting lost in town for an hour we found the famous Chicken Rice Ball shop along jonker street. Can someone please tell me what does jonker mean?

The picture was stolen cause by the time we reached there we were worse than a pack of hungry dogs and even ate up the bones.

Next stop was Kota A Famosa.

Touring isn’t as fun as it used to be in UK/Europe. Freaking hot. You just wanna see it and get out of there asap.

Since it was so hot we decided to go for more famous Malacca delicacies.

Let the pics talk for themselves.

After lunch #2 we picked up another of Kah Wei’s friends (from Penang as well) and headed to some place with “air conditioning”. Yup, a trip isn’t perfect without testing the dota standard in area. So we headed to find some cybercafes but failed to find the big and famous ones. We eventually went to one near MMU where the comps were lousy but at least we managed to play with some locals.

After eating noobs, we weren’t full enough so its time for Satay Celup.

And after eating Satay Celup, we weren’t full so we went back to PJ to eat noobs. THE END.

Interesting Finds

Recently my brother introduced me to this website where you can find out what are the most popular sites visited in Malaysia. Here are some interesting results:

-Yahoo is still more popular than Google.

-Friendster is still more popular than facebook.

-As expected, blogspot > wordpress.

-Malaysiakini > The Star Online (But the star is free?)

-Redtube is ranked 32.

An excerpt from my daily life

“Woke up to the complaints of a heavy bladder. I must have drank too much after 3 hours of basketball last night. My muscles didn’t ache that badly thankfully coz it was more of a relaxing game. I decided to mix my protein powder into my cereal since my milk was running low. Good also since less milk= less fats.Workouts while listening to emo chinese songs was enjoyable. I’ll be heading over to BU house for lunch… but before that I must remember to feed the fish and water the plants. Dad won’t be pleased to see anymore dead fish floating around. I’ve got this strange feeling that I will endup in Blitzone again in the afternoon…”

Rants

Okay so its like this.. Initially I didn’t want to work so soon after getting back so I go chill awhile. It normally takes 1 month to get posted after the interview. NORMALLY. But guess what? After my interview was Hari Raya holidays. Ok fine… Give them a few days off. But MR OS-MAN decides to take a holiday till the 17th (A friday btw, you might as well take holiday till 20th). So right now half my class is jobless and clueless as to where they are gonna get posted. For goodness sake, why put one fella in charge of the whole HR department? Geez.

MONEY NO ENOUGH!!

Hehe, I bet some of you would go: “I told you so”. Sigh, I was never able to foresee all this coming okay.

Journeys

It seems that everyone is embarking on a new journey now. And i’m still stuck here. Oh well, who knows maybe in another 2 months i’ll be slaving away in some government hospital somewhere.

Jay Chou’s got a new album! Unfortunately so far i’m only in love with one song T_T. Ever since the 千里之外 album his songs have been getting weirded and weirder. Nooo! No more emo songs =(

Its Hari Raya today! A time to ask for forgiveness and to rekindle relationships. Last year we celebrated Hari Raya with the Scottish students though half of them didn’t get what it was about, it was fun to share our cultures with other people. We had a dresscode day and it was green, black, yellow and white I think. WTH… So many colours right? Might as well make it rainbow day. =.=

The three headed malay.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA EVERYONE!
