A new chapter begin soon

Life is like a textbook which was divided into few chapter. Life start with an introduction where we are born and end with conclusion where human die. It had been lonh way for all of us who live in this world as each day may end up with suffering, struggling and sadness. However on the same time, we might find happiness, laughter and success.

As for me, I had come far enough for this 21 years. My struggling and success had all been frame up and will be my sweet sour experience forever.

When I was small, I was more a evil than an angel. I hate study and I hate school. I don't like to go to school and always cry. My attendance to school is less than 50% and my studies was sucks... Everytime I was in the school, i cry, making noise or create trouble. I remember, I was almost been thrown out from the school for disiplinary problem.

I hate study and that was reality but I like competition. Despite my bad result in primary one and two, I manage to climb up during my primary 3. For no reason I pass my 'Penilaian Tahap Satu' which entitle me to skip my primary four class and go straight to primary 5. From that moment onward, I know I shall not let my family down and I shall focus on study even I hate book so much...

After ending my primary school, another chapter start at secondary school. In secondary I was much into friendship, and more extra-cocuriculum activity. For me, what the use of education if I cannot survive with team of people. Despite my heavy involvement in 3 clubs and society and librarian job, i try to strike for academic excellent. I know without good academic result I will go no way as well.

Another new chapter start in TAR college. Moving from ordinary town of Klang to huge city of KL give me absolute freedom to do what ever i want. Beside study, my networking of friends grow bigger. Undeniable, the moment in TARC is one of the best I ever had.

The next stage was more promising, more exciting and more fun. With much competition and social life, I had neglected my studies. Actually I try to have good result like what i did in TARC but things was too late when I realize my result was not going to increase elsewhere. I focus on extra-cocuriculum activities and hope my employer will never see on my result bur more to my extra contribution that I had done to the community and the society. I know my move will never let me down. Before I graduated, I secure 5 jobs and there is more interview which I had to cancel. Things was fine and great.

The tertiary level education close its chapter last December and I finally graduated at the March convo. Everything was fine in work and both my social life. I enjoy it despite life getting worst and hectic.

Yesterday I paid for my ACCA fees and will sooner register at Sunway College for my ACCA classes. I know things will change and yet another chapter will begin. I getting tired nowadays. Too old to accept so many changes in life. I prefer to have simple life, calm and happy ending. When will all my chapter close and I can only have relax life?

Despite what i do in life might not be what I hope for, I know I need to do it for the sake of myself and family. I choosen my own path and here am I to continue walking. Today, in this blog, I open my new chapter, my working life with part time study. I know it will be another 2 months before I started my class but I just have to have a smooth transition period so I can make use of it.

Car Wash Day

Since working I had no time to wash any car and my silver car had turn into black color. Although i was suppose to work from home today, i decided to wash my car. I realize that there is no more car wash detergent so I go to the nearest supermarket to buy. My mom is asking me to send to those car wash shop and let them wash but I decided to wash myself for the sake of playing with water...hehe...OK..I know i look old but my mind can go immature sometime...hehe..

So i went to the shop and buy what i wanted and start washing...And now my car was sparkling and clean...hahaha....

OK...what more interesting is not my car wash but my shopping experience in the supermarket...When I queue up to pay for the things i bought, i saw this old pak cik(around 70 years old) behind me buying a track bottom and renoma brief...Ok look fine...Pak cik also need to look nice of course...But he seem hiding something with the track bottom he buy...haha...

When it was my turn to pay, the old pakcik put his stuff on the belt roller while the cashier is scanning my stuff...That was the time when the things he was hiding from the track bottom drop off and show off...wahaha....what u guess inside it? 2 tube of KY jelly and at least 4 pack of condom....Ok...I pay for my stuff and go off with a smile in my face...But what make me smile? because the pak cik smile, the cashier smile and those people behind the queue is smiling as well...

The pak cik is certainly brave...and of course alert about the dangerous of HIV...or maybe he just on the family planning....Ok...dun feel offence by this post...Guys, if u want buy it, just buy and dun pretend...nothing wrong with buying those thing right? haha....OK....I gonna polish my car now...see ya

A Sad Goodbye

Today is a weird day. A day where sadness fill the air...

I just come back from Johor and yet it was time for me to go back Klang to audit. My roommate was moody today. Maybe because we all had bully him since he come in and he already cannot stand it...hehe...sorry Nicholas....we just can't stop making fun of you...So sorry...

It was clear that he was sad today. With emotional song that he put, almost all of us in the house wanted to cry. He even bid farewell with me with sad song like "Chu Ni Ye Lu Soon Fong", "Ni Zhou Ba" and lot of farewell song.

Today itself had saw me going in and out of human resource department for few time. I might be normal but not for me...I had do what I had in mind and I believe what happen next will be the firm decision. I am glad I do my part, yet I feel I was to brave in what I had done.

Tomorrow, it will be a journey of suffering. No doubt the job in Klang is suffering yet I know I enjoy those suffering. I had once lost control of my temper and bang the door, which I still think it was funny. I just hope I won't bang the door for the second time because it is gonna be bad this time. For me, this task I really learn a lot. From time management to real audit, from accounting standard to stress management, all things need to be balance up. It really help me to prepare more for the ACCA paper.

It was now 10.15pm, and the air is cold, the sad song had make the environment so clam yet so sad. It was sad....and Nicholas, don't be sad for whatever reason...It was a short goodbye and not forever.....(Ok, I know it sound very gayish but we are not gay...haha)

Earth Day

Today is earth day and yet for majority of us, we didn't not feel that there is anything special about this day.

Since today I am so free, I wanna contribute my time to blog about Global Warming and what we can do to prevent it. We cannot deny the power of our Mother Nature. Since the tsunami on 26 December 2004, much of our country weather had change. We no longer can predict when will it rain and when will it be sunny and yet we still don't feel anything big about that. The weather didn't change for no reason. It was the sign of global warming.

Global warming did not mean we will have more sunshine and the weather will be hotter than before. Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans.

The causes of the global warming is the greenhouse gases on earth that will increase day and day. It will continue to circulate and hard to be eliminated. With our technology era, we are living in the environment that create more and more greenhouse gases such as CFC from our air-condition system.

Cut thing short, because I believe everyone is not interested on what causes the global warming but more interested on how it affect us. Please bear in mind, it does affect each one of us and we have to do something to prevent it before it was too late. Latest disaster in the world are early sign of what might we end up in times to come.

Both north pole and south pole ice are badly affected by the global warming. Iceberg had been reported to crack and separated from the main ice land. Our poor polar bear had lost their habitat. With more ice melting from mountain and ice continental from both north and south, it will mean more water on earth and we will end up higher sea level and more rain.

The recent flood in Johor for example can be link to Global Warming. We know that Johor had never have flood until last few years. We also notice major changes on our weather. It was predicted weird and extreme weather will happen in certain area. One good example that we can link to is thick snow fall in US and China this year. Beside that some country will experience major droughts. China for example experience bad droughts last year.

Human might not have good mutation as per animal. Do you know that the population of jellyfish and mosquito had increase rapidly as the outcome of global warming. Mosquito are much more stronger and able to live in the toughest condition. No wonder more and more new vector-born diseases are identified lately. For Jellyfish, it was reported that groups of jellyfish had attack 100,000 salmon fish in Ireland salmon farm. Imagine how many jelly fish you can get if the come in the group of 10 miles square and 35 feet deep...It will be more than billion. Believe me! Even shark can die or even a blue whale when they meet with this group of jelly fish. Less turtle in the sea to eat the jelly fish had causes the food chain to be disturb and the global warming had encourage the jelly fish to breed few times faster than before and what the best, one day when you were snorkeling, you can see jelly fish as small as your thumb and that is enough to kill or causes you to be coma for whole life...

Beside the rise of sea level and glassier retreat, heat wave will also occur. More weird disaster can be seen. See Inconvenience Truth if you want to know what will happen. Imagine tornado, tsumani, earthquake and volcano on the same time, where will you run to? Cross finger and pray you will be place in heaven?

Is time we make a change. Reuse, reduce and recycle. Go for greener option. Plant more tree, use less electricity, drive less or use cleaner fuel, bring your own container and use less plastic bag and food packaging, and support Kyoto Protocol.

We can make a different. Never think our contribution is too insignificant. If you don't who else will protect this earth. It was predicted the worst disaster will destroy the earth in very short period. Why wait. Don't regret when it was too late. Save our cute polar bear. Save ourselves. Save the earth. We can make it. Lets work together

Happy Birthday

Olympic, peace!


The Olympic Torch is in the town!

This Monday, we will see massive jam, lot of police, lot of people and 1 flaming hot fire that bring all country united under 1 game, The Olympic Game.

I am quite proud of China, first Chinese based country have the opportunity to organize this event and it was more proud that the torch relay will be carry out in Malaysia for the very first time in the game history.

As history had show, almost all olympic is spoilt with controversy, especially boycott and protest. This year, the lucky 08.08.08 Olympic also had seen so much interruption of political issue and sensitive issue.

At first, it was arguable that China is not an environmental conscious country but China had done so much to prove that the region is trying their very best to go as green as possible. Toward the games which was about 100 days from now, we saw more dramatic event. People are arguing about human right of China toward Tibetan. Undeniable, 2 country, 2 great leader, and 1 big games will never end up in nice way. Even peaceful country like Malaysia, *cough*cough* (which i don't think so), there is a possibility of protest or disturbance during the torch relay on Monday...Whatever, I just cross my finger and hope only the best for the games on August.

Back to torch relay, We will saw the torch relay start at Dataran Merdeka, (kinda near to my office, lolx) and run toward the KL garden near the Parliament, then Malaysia Muzium, rest a while in Merdeka Stadium, then pass by Olympic Council Building and then Pudu Jail, proceed to Times Square and Sg Wang area and straight to Menara KL. The torch will then go up the tower and of course coming down and was expected to end at KLCC. A total of 16.5km long relay to mark the very first torch relay in our country...

Worst Hotel

I don’t care whether I get sued for defaming this hotel, but I just have to blog this out as it was experience…

I was in Johore Bahru for audit and our client place us in this very “Spa” Hotel in Plaza Lien Ho, soon to be call Sentosa Plaza. The plaza is old but with some furnishing, I believe it will be a good place to shop.

Back to the story of the hotel, once we enter the hotel, we can sense there is no security in the hotel. Located inside a seventies plaza make it look so creepy. We check in the hotel and the fella at the reception counter gives us a remote control…Ok fine… Then the hotel looks like yellow chicken den for people to make love more than place for people to stay.

The room looks fine when we go in but our satisfaction didn’t last long. Mind you, we are given “presidential suite” with air-conditioning not functioning. Fortunately after few hour, the air-corn turn cooler… The toilet is so eerie. It makes me wanted to vomit everytime I enter it. The door is slippery, sticky on the same time as it was not been occupied for years. The bath tub had become blacken and worst part, it seems like got fungus growing on it. The hot water does not seem to work at the beginning but I was the white rat. Being the first to take bath, I really learn my lesson. The hot water turns to be boiling hot without warning. Shit! Almost get burn from it.

Minutes later I found that there is no water kettle for us, no phone and no freezer. Then I realize there is dead creature in my room. OMG. Is Siu Kiong dying beside my bed! Then I notice my bed sheet already got hole and they simply use another cloth to paste the hole…The more I do research in the room, the more things I realize.
No matter how, this is just not a hotel and my room is not a presidential suite. It really spoilt my mood for staying at “presidential suite” for the first time. Thanks client for your nice treat by placing us in presidential suite of “cheap” class hotel……oops…I mean hotel with spa…By the way, there is no swimming pool, restaurant, laundry, safe box, gym or whatever facilities you thinking off. One think I know, our sleep is entertained with sound of people walking here and there… One good think about here is we can watch TV show from Singapore…Only then I know that The Apprentice Show was sponsor by ACCA…. =,=”

The dirtiest hotel toilet
Me senior investigating the bed
Stupid hanger
Siu Kiong beside my bed!!!
There is sand inside the room!!so cheh!!
The Hotel Management expect us to buy product from them...sweat!
Again, the toilet...

Taboo

Today in the hotel, I manage to watch a documentary about exotic food or more to a taboo food. What is the most extreme food for you?
In Philippine, a delicious egg might turn out to be a disaster. “Belout”, an almost hatch duck embryo egg is consider famous national delicacy. Full with feather, vain, heart, beak, eye of a almost complete duck. OMG, that is just too taboo for me… In Philippine, this delicacy is consider normal food, as normal as hot dog in US. It was said to be able to increase the sexual ability for guys and ensure healthy sex organ among the gals. This food can be found in market, roadside stall up to 5 star hotel restaurants. The moment I saw them eating, I almost wanna vomit.
2nd dishes, let us went to Papau New Guinea. How about blood sucking animal been barbeque? Ok, we are talking about BBQ vampire. Since there is scare of food in this remote island, famous for nothing except virgin forest and untouched food, BBQ bat is consider the best delicacy here. The BBQ vampire comes nicely with other side dishes, the wetland tree maggot. I know Sarawakian and certain Sabahan love it as it taste like milk or majerin. So come Papau New Guinea and try the one and only one barbeque vampire. Ok…The gross part of all is seeing the big eye or the bat and the vampire teeth…If you daring enough try raw. It tastes as good as the barbeque one.
Ok, let fly to Korea for slimy food…Live Octopus. I mean raw and alive. Octopus is strong and can fight back even on your throat. Imagine that…They won’t die even it was chop to 100 pieces. Dip it into the traditional chilli sauce and just swallow it. If you are powerful enough, eat it alive the whole octopus. One Korean die after choking due to fighting back of octopus.
New York, develop city full of delicacy. Once in a year, the annual scary food cocktail party will be held in this city. How about 272 USD for a plate of scorpion? Crocodile meat, tarantula, worms, beetles, insects, testical, eyeball, lizards, and whatever gross food you can ever think off, you can get it here.
Ok…is real taboo food…ahaha…The most outrageous food I ever try is the cockroach been fried? How do I eat it? Thanks to one old chee chong fun aunty in Klang…haha…I was 6 years old by that time and I truly didn’t notice it until I bite it and swallow it down.

A disappointing assignment…

It had been a long time dream for me to at least try to perform audit work on public listed companies. Life sucks with this new assignment where I was allocated to Klang, my beautiful hometown. Everyone is expecting me enjoying my life in hometown with parent and sleep a bit late as I no need to rush so far to work….Everything was WRONG….totally WRONG.

I was so reluctant to come and I didn’t even want to pack my bag till the last minutes for departure. I sense something is not good…Yeah…It did…

Every day it seem to be the same cycle of life…Staying in the hotel didn’t make any different than staying in the jail…hehe…Every morning, I wake up thinking, oh the shit, is another new day… Have same breakfast (fried rice, fried mi hoon, chicken ham, baked bean, sausages and a cup of tea) what a boring meal…Imagine eating the same food for 2 weeks.

Every morning, arriving at client place, what I hope is the time for lunch to come. Entering the canteen pack with 1300 staffs, I hope dinner will come soon. As dinner come, I hope senior can release us earlier to go back hotel. Arriving hotel, take bath, read newspaper, see CNN news report and some office work, is time to sleep again….and again wake up to find it was another new day.

Friday also never seem to be a good day. While everyone is shouting “Oh yeah, thanks god is Friday”, we the auditor is thinking in mind “Oh My God, Is another Friday”. And the cycle just went on for 2 weeks to end up with another disaster. Oh yeah baby!!! We are coming back for another few days next week…
Saturday which suppose to be a weekend also turn out to be a disaster. Although my convocation was stuck in between those suffering period, it does not cheer me up. Frankly speaking, I don’t think I enjoy my convocation so much. I missed so many friends gathering, photo taking and others.
Time did pass by very fast. 4 years ago when I was in my pre-uni, I tell my friends, it will be a long journey before our graduation. 4 years later, here I am in working life while struggling to take some part time classes next few months. I know things will be more stressful, more suffering but it had been my choice so I have to take it as it comes.
People get older day by day and so do I. Another few days it will be a gold key celebration for me. Did not expect anything from me as I was broke so I don’t think I will have any huge party..wahaha…I never did in my life…lolx…Anyway, moodless nowadays and no feeling for celebration.
Few days ago, I went to the university to return the convocation gown and take graduation photo. Since that day I need to wait my colleague to fetch her back to client place, I have plenty of time to look on the picture. It allows me to think back what I had done in these 21 years of my life. Too many things I had achieve and yet too many coming for me to hunt. I realize how fortunate I am to have a supporting family and friends who always give encouragement for me to success in life.
