Looking Back

July of 2008 is coming to an end.
Time flies, as much as I want to get hold of it.

Because of that, I always hope that I have a time machine, for me to travel back to the past.

To find back those memories; To make up for all the regrets; Or just to find a harbour of refuge.

Seems very impossible? Nah, I have a strong belief in the scientists that we have in this world. At least, currently, we got this thing called 'photograph' which can be used as a tool to store precious moments.

Personally, I prefer to just keep these memories in my mind rather than just relying on photos which is perishable. But then I realised that my memory is not that good as I thought. Besides things that I trying hard to forget, I am losing quite a lot of others too.

Especially those IAS that I precious very much now.

But thanks to Wei Han, those photos that he uploaded on Facebook are much useful to me.


My very noob face 5 years ago...


my noob face 4 years ago...


The VS anthem, The VS cheers, Kluang-didas, Mr. Maran, Mr. Chia, Mr. Oh....

Interact Club, Touch, Community Service in Bandipur....

Camping in VH comp lab, checking out on opposite block, bridge whole day+night, the famous 1-Minuto....

All these are coming back to me now.

And most importantly, the VS SPIRIT that I thought I have lost it quite a while ago.

Well, it is not a bad thing to look behind occasionally.

As for now, I am feeling rejuvenated, again.

Mercedes-Benz E200 vs Proton Perdana V6

Now only I know that 'Mechanic' is a profession that could make you becoming a millionaires in just a few years, say like 4 years.

How do I know?

16 Proton Perdana V6 maintenance fees for 4 years is approximately RM1.17 mil
1 Proton Perdana V6 maintenance fees for 4 years = RM 73458
Thus, 1 Proton Perdana V6 maintenance fees for 1 year = RM18365

The above estimates come from the Terengganu State Government.

Therefore, it seems that we shouldn't blame the Terengganu State Government for spending RM3.43mil for 14 E200 Mercedes-Benz.

It is not because they have too much money from the petroleum tax until they dunno how to spend it.

It is also not because Proton Perdana is not classy enough for them to show off their superiority.

It is because Mercedes-Benz being an export car is SAFER, BETTER FUEL & MAINTANENANCE SAVING AND BETTER QUALITY than Proton Perdana V6.

So, when we are paying RM0.78 more for petrol, we are actually contributing to the "Protect The Safety of Government Officials Funds".

Well, everyone, including 3 year-old-kid, know that Mercedes is better than Perdana.

What we dunno is that whether Perdana is as bad as being claimed by the Terengganu Government Officials.

If that is the case, I would be worried of all the users of Proton in Malaysia, including few of my friends for driving such a low quality and unsafe national cars. Even Perdana V6, the most superior product of Proton, is so problematic, what more can we expect from the other products of Proton? How demoralizing is it for most of the Malaysian who are driving Proton cars currently?

Well, as a Malaysian, we always have the 'Don't Always Believe What The Government Said' policy. This is because Government always treat the people as if we are a 'dumb-dumb', or they really think that we are dumb enough to believe all their nonsense.

Yearly maintenance of RM18365 for a car? What bullshit is this!

You think you are repairing a spaceship meh?

They must have thought that we forgot about the 'amazing' 5 Year Warranty provided by Proton for every Proton cars.

Maybe they want to announce to the world that 'Malaysia Boleh' in creating Guiness Record of "The Most Expensive Maintenance Fee" for car category.

Now, we are waiting for the special committee of Anti-Corruption Agency to investigate this matter and see what kind of report we can get from this committee.

As for me, I am extremely interested in how the accountants prepares the Financial Statement of Terengganu. On what basis did they use to charge depreciation and maintenance expense for non-current asset? It will help me to understand the concept of 'creative accounting' better.

The Romance Of 3 Parties

This few days, people around me is talking about John Woo's new film, "Red Cliff". The production expenses of this film is record-breaking among the chinese movies.


And of course, why this film attracts me is because of:



I haven't got the chance to watch it in cinema yet but I promised myself that I would watch it one day. (You wouldn't care whether I watch it in cinema or on Pirated-DVD, would you?)

Well, even if I am that broke until I have no money to buy P-DVD, I still can enjoy watching a Malaysian-Production Movie which has a similar storyline. The movie is called "The Romance of 3 Parties".



CAO CAO=Badawi-- VS --LIU BEI=Anwar --VS --SUN QUAN=Nik Aziz

For those other races who dunno the history of 3 kingdoms and the characters named above, I am sorry but you will have to bear with me. For chinese, please return to Mars/Ulu Place/watever u call it. The world is too dangerous.

1st Similarity

History: LIU BEI(刘备) and CAO CAO (曹操) are comrades of The Rebel Army to fight against DONG ZHUO(董卓). LIU BEI then separated with CAO CAO and created his own forces with the aim of conquering ZHONG YUAN (Mainland of China).

Now: Anwar and Badawi are both members of The BN to 'develop' Malaysia. Anwar then being sacked from BN and the 'Black-eye-incident' happened. After that, Anwar created his own political party, PKR, with the help of his wife.

2nd Similarity

History: Before LIU BEI build up his forces and has his own land, he was attacked by CAO CAO several times. As a result, LIU BEI's family and his brothers GUAN YU & ZHANG FEI had a very difficult time then.

Now: Before PKR and gang won a few states in the last general election, BN with help of the Royal Police Force had caught a few members from the opposition parties and ISAed (verb) them accordingly for some unknown(ridiculous) reasons. Famous incident: Operation Lalang.

3rd Similarity

History: After CAO CAO had conquered the northen part of the China, he then aimed the southern part of China. In order to resist CAO CAO, LIU BEI and SUN QUAN(孙权) had formed an alliance. Therefore, in year 208, the famous "Battle of Red Cliff" occurred. In this battle, CAO CAO suffer a very heavy loss.

Now: After the BN had ruled (exploited) Malaysia for half a decade, the people had suffered enough and decided that it is the time to have a change. Therefore, in year 2008, the famous "Tsunami 308" occurred. In the last general election, BN suffered a very heavy loss under the attack of the alliance of opposition party of PKR and PAS and of course the reddish DAP.

4th Similarity

History: After the battle at Red Cliff, LIU BEI's force had strengthen and was becoming greater as time went by. This made both CAO CAO and SUN QUAN very worried. Therefore, CAO CAO and SUN QUAN decided to combine forces and attacked LIU BEI together.

Now: After the Tsunami 308, PKR seems to be getting stronger with Anwar wanting to enter into parliament, the 916 prophecy and so on and so forth. This made both BN and PAS very worried. Therefore, BN and PAS has been conducting meeting and conversation lately to discuss the issue of 'Uniting Malays in Malaysia' (lame)*. But what is behind the curtain, we really don't know. Especially with Anwar of PKR now in 'deep' trouble.

*(I feel it is lame not because i am a racist or having some evil thought, it is because I feel that it is very pointless to talk about this now as we are now heading towards globalisation. So, we should stand together as the citizen of the world. Plus, the most important issue now is inflation due to economic slow down and the damn rising oil price. Come on! Grow up and stop being so shallow minded! Ok, a bit emotiional i think. haha.)

See the similarities?

This proves that Malaysia is also capable of making a movie with fantastic storyline which can be compared with John Woo's film. 'Malaysia Boleh' or not?

Of course, 'The Romance Of 3 Parties' hasn't ended yet. Therefore, sit back, relax and continue to enjoy the remaining of the movie. God knows what will happen next?

2 Info That I Learned Today

14.07.08.

Today is kind of a memorable day.

Not because it is a nice number for TOTO/Magnum 4D. And of course I don't buy those.

Today, don't know for what reason, I woke up surprisingly early, like 4 a.m. in the morning. And I don't have a class today. I was thinking of going back to sleep again but then I realised since the state I am staying now has changed its government for like 4 months, I thought of giving my lifestyle a change too.

And this is not a bad idea as I finally managed to nudge Evelyn which I seldom get the chance due to the time zone difference. Lol.

We did some catch up and later on she gave me 2 pieces of info. I admit that my level of info is a bit lagging because I rarely touch newspaper recently, so some of you out there might have already known them.

1st INFO.
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has decide that he is going to resign as Prime Minister in 2010, after much debate on wheter he should resign or not.

I kind of believe that it is a wise choice for him to step down before the next general election. Because he will be stepping down when BN is still exploting, err... no, I mean ruling the country. Maybe he couldn't face it if BN were to lose again like the 12th General Election. Maybe it is time for him to stay at home and spend more time with his new wife.

Therefore, I believe he sincerely wanting to step down when 2010 comes.

However, there are people who don't think so.

An example would be our beloved EX-Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir. He claimed that it is a 'sweet candy' given to Dato Seri Najib for him not to challenge for the President post in the coming UMNO election, which the real situation is that Badawi has no intention to give PM post to him at all (deepest apology as Gelaran and Full Name ignored after this coz tooooo longgg).

"Gula-gula diberikan kepada Dato Seri Najib bahawa dianya juga dikehendaki bebas daripada cabaran untuk Timbalan Presiden........ Najib akan dijanji peralihan kuasa akan dibuat pada 2010. Sebelum sampai tarikh keramat ini tuduhan akan dilempar terhadapnya supaya dia ternampak tidak lagi layak untuk menjadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri.Seorang yang dianggap lebih setia kepada Dato Seri Abdullah akan menggantinya. Pengganti tidak akan ambil alih jawatan Perdana Menteri pada 2010 kerana kurang pengalaman. Dato Seri Abdullah akan bermurah hati untuk mengisi jawatan itu hingga Pilihanraya Umum ke-13."
(100% genuine copy from Mahathir Blog-http://test.chedet.com/che_det/. Not I say 1 ok.)

Is this familiar to you?

Well, I am sure it is for Mahathir because that is a tactic which he used like free. And as a result, uduring his ruling time, there are like 3/4? DPM under him. In the end, he chose the 'loyal' Badawi as the final candidate as his successor. But it turns out that Badawi is not that 'loyal' in the end, maybe because of the cancellation of all the previous Mahathir's 'Big Project', so we can see the 'Mahathir Bomming Badawi Show' almost everyday now.

I am not a politician, and I don't really understand politic. So I don't really know the real meaning of all the tactics used by our beloved politicians. But what I know is that shouldn't politicians be those who are busy trying to set out plans to develop the country? Shouldn't the next PM be chosen in an fair election based on qualities?

I don't know. I think it is either they have too much time after attending the routine Parliment meeting or I am just too naive to see all the things behind this.

Change to 2nd INFO.
Malaysia is going to have 太监!Correct me if I am wrong, I think the English word for it is Eunuch. I swear that I could see the sinister smile on Evelyn's face when she was telling me this. The origin of this info is from our YB Dato Dr. Ng Yen Yen. Due to the increasing rate of rape cases, she suggested that castration should be put on those who are convicted for raping. She hopes that this will serve as a warning to those potential rapers out there.

Wow! This is cool man! After such a long time, Malaysia is going to continue the tradition which China had stopped century ago after the fall of Qing Dynasty to revolution. This again proves the 'Malaysia Boleh' theory. Of course, there were much commotion and discussion about this after she had made the statement, as usual, like what Malaysian always say, 'Biasalah'.

However, castration punishment is much similar to the punishment laid under Islamic Law which PAS is hoping so much to implement it in Malaysia. It is because if I am not wrong, those who steal will be chopped off their hand if they are convicted. So I wonder whether the logic of thinking of YB Dato Dr. Ng Yen Yen of BN is linked to PAS.

But I am still interested on who is going to execute the punishment. Maybe those executor will need to be sent for training under Dr. Ng Yen Yen. She is a doctor mah!

And oh yea, the greatest benefit of me getting up early today is that I found a Malay stall which sells RM1 meehoon in Sunway while going jogging just now. Lol. Oklah. I am just being ignorant. Because the stall is there for like long time ago.

And I managed to catch the sunrise today. So for those who threaten me 看不到明天的日出!a.k.a cannot see the sunrise tomorrow, it is just too bad. Hehe!

HANCOCK & JACKASS

Out of the blue, I went to watch HANCOCK with 4 friends and 1 not-so-friend.

Didn't expect to watch it because i noe it is a commercial movie and i noe Will is not getting together with Charlize in the end thru some movie review.

I went into the cinema with the thought of it being a comedy, and prepare to lol.
And indeed i get a good laugh in the 1st half of the movie with all the non-usual kind of superhero behaviour, always drunk and set himself to destruction mode even though he is indeed saving the world; acting like an enemy of the states rather than being a hero.

My opinion of Hancock was that he is a superhero but also a human being. He will feel depressed of not being understood; he will get mad at times; he will drink when he is feeling lonely, and yes, he is lonely.

The difference between him and all the other previous superheroes is that Hancock is straightforward and so he doesn't know how to put on a mask to hide his trueself from the normal human being. He doesn't have an black underwear put on his head; doesn't have a blue-red uniform which he claimed as gay (although later he gave in anyway by wearing a tight black suit). But maybe he doesn't know how to pretend and act differently in front of the public, he is hated. And because he doesn't get recognition from the public, he behaves in such manner.

That was my opinion at first.

The 2nd half of the story proved me wrong. Or should i say from the moment i saw the way Hancock looked into Mary's eyes, I knew there must be something between them. I then thought that it must be Mary who dumped him after he lost his memory and left him with juz 2 movie tickets.

But again, I am wrong. Or should i say it is not that simple.

The truth is that superheroes like Mary and Hancock (a.k.a Angel) were created in pairs. They had natural attraction between each other. However, after they got happily ever after, their superpower will also slowly decrease until they become normal husband and wife. (Just like the Chinese ancient legend, Gods were not supposed to have feeling of love and affection towards another. If they do, they will be sacked down to earth from heaven, losing their godstrength and immortality.) All the other superheroes had chosen to become normal human being, left with only Hancock and Mary. It is because eventhough Hancock are losing his superpower by getting together with Mary, he couldn't let go of his responsibility as superheroes and kept fighting against the dark forces which put them into a lot of danger and being hunt down by bad people.

I began to realise the reason why Mary chose to left Hancock after he lost his memory. She knew Hancock couldn't stop helping to save the world and their love with just brought up more pain and danger. So she left and endure the pain of not being together with the love one all by herself, in exchange for letting Hancock to continue to save the world. This also explains why Mary was always nearby with Hancock wherever he was. She could not forget him and had chosen a different way to love him.

But Mary underestimated their over 3000-year-love.

Though Hancock lost his memory, deep in his heart, he knew he had someone he loved. But he couldn't remember who was she. And so he put his frustration to the normal human being around him.

The mystery of Hancock being 'Jackass" or 'Handcock' or 'Handjob' was solved.

Actually, superheroes/god are born with blessing by the Great Creator. They could choose either live happily ever after as normal couples or being an immortal having godstrength. But because Hancock could not let go of his love towards Mary, this blessing turned out to be a curse. And Hancock & Mary lived with this curse for over 3000 years.

Sincerely, I was touched by their love and also pity their faith at the same time.

Hancock loves Mary so much that he had to leave her this time in order to save her life, and his also. He could just die on the spot with Mary and both of them will have eternal love, but he didn't.

When I saw him struggling to get up after he jumped down from the window, I knew he had finally made a decision. He had chosen to let Mary revived by putting aside his 3000-year-old love, forfeiting his rights of being together with the loved one as normal human being.

Maybe he finally realise that true love not only can bring them together, true love also can be beyond distance, time and dimension.

At the ending, when I saw him in that black tight suit, I felt very uneasy.

Not because he looked gay in that, but because I could clearly see the deep loneliness written all over his face, although he had a dog and a moon with red heart painted on it then.







p/s: Until now, i am still thinking whether if both of them die together is a better ending.

你听见了吗?

曾几何时,我认为Blogging是专为寂寞与无聊的人而设的。
所以,是的,我很寂寞。它总是在夜深人静的时候出没,还蛮缠人的。
为了与之抗衡,最近烟也抽得频,因为听说那朦胧烟雾能把寂寞给赶走。
呵呵,看到这里,你应该会翻白眼,然后说我又再瞎掰了吧!
我想,应该是你的关系,我才会那么的爱瞎掰吧!
不为什么,只因为我很享受看你翻白眼的样子。

距离上一次给你写信至今似乎过了很久,不知你过得怎样呢?
一定是过得很好吧!我也一样过得很好,因为这是我们的约定。
所以我堂堂男子汉大丈夫,是不可能违约的!

也许你会奇怪为什么我会写这些东西吧!
嘿嘿,因为我怕你也会像我一样在夜晚时突然很寂寞啊。
所以,我想,如果你感到寂寞的话,到这里转转,听我瞎掰,也应该不错!哈哈!

还记得“今生只爱你10年”这篇文章吧?
还记得你第一次看到这篇文章时哭得像个大花猫似的,
然后还傻乎乎的不停问我这是真实的故事吗?
我当时还真被你搞得头昏脑胀。

今天,有朋友转发这篇文章给我的信箱。
重读一遍,感触比上一次来的更多。
看到最后一段“我记得你十年,想你用十天,来生还你一辈子!”,
我的心被狠狠地揪了一下。
我想,完了吧,今天的心情又变糟了,虽然今天就只剩下那两个小时。

我终于深刻了解到那情怀,也明白为什么那时的你看了这篇文章会哭得那么厉害。
所以,我承认,那时的你应该比我感性的多,成熟的多。
怎样,给你赢一次,开心了吧?

十年,一个不是很长的时间。
不知十年后的我会怎么样呢?
不过,你放心,我一定会让你知道的。
只要你常到这转转。
所以,希望你能常来,好吗?

今晚,我应该会早些睡,因为明天有Menon的课,我不想再打瞌睡然后被她骂了啦!
我想你应该也是时候来看我了吧!
我等你!
