Okay, blogging mojo seems good to go at the moment. Or maybe it's because I'm too bored. Hmm.

The new semester seems more promising than the last one. Maybe due to the fact it's the start of a brand new year. Or maybe because I'm not too nervous about going to some unknown place and staying there. Or maybe because I've got 4 Distinctions from my last semester. ;D

Yes, bangga. Haha. But in all honesty, I was actually targetting at least 2 HDs given my assignment marks so a slight bummer there. Pfft. Well, I'm the pride of Malaysia since 95% of my batch are from China. I swear there are only three other Malaysians in my lectures and tutorials. Oh well.

My craze for Starcraft II has died for like three months now. Probably because of the %*%&^%&%#)%(*%(#$ release date that seems to multiply as time goes by. Something like:

Official Release Date: 21 October 2007 (Yes, 7 more months)
*October comes*
Official Release Date: Next summer (Okay la, bearable)
*Summer approaches*
Official Release Date: Early next year (Fine, this should be great with the time taken to balance the game, after all patience has its good reward)
*Ending of the year*
Official Release Date: October 2009 (Screw it! I'm moving past this shit!)

So that's how my desire to play SC II died. Pfft. D:

F10, F30 or F50? Mercurial Vapor? Still indecisive. Sniffles. ;/

I miss writing. Writing used to be my forte. My therapeutic getaway. What ever happened? ):

I'm still addicted to Evacuate the Dancefloor. I'm really infected by the sound.

In exactly a month, I'll be moving back to Australia. Damn, I'm gonna miss the food and the stuff I get to do here. But most of all, I'd prolly miss driving. Pfft.

I'm currently hooked on to Evacuate the Dancefloor. Ah, can't get it out of my head. Haha.

It's been pretty fast for two months to just pass just like that. Oh well, I'll be there for about 3 months plus before coming back again I guess. I was thinking about doing a one-picture-one-blog-post-a-day kind of thing while I'm there.

But...There's always a but. I guess I'll prolly be too lazy and stop doing it due to my excessive procrastinate-tative mindset. See, I've made procrastinate into an adjective. I'm pro. ;D *coughs* *lame*

The word "incentive" keeps knocking on my door lately. What's my incentive?

Wow, it's been so damn long since I last blogged. ;D

Well, I'll try to do better when I'm back in Australia kay. Haha. Right now everyday has pretty much the same or nothing out of the ordinary routine. Which I enjoy btw.

I miss home. I miss driving. Driving is my forte. The one thing I can never fail at doing because I'm that damn good at it.

Speaking of failing, I just realised how hard is it to fail at life. But it ain't easy to be successful either. We all make decisions everyday, but how many of them are risky ones?

What's life without taking chances, aye'? D:

Ask a grown man who has earned millions what would he want to trade for for his millions, he'll say youth. Because he's not afraid of being 19 again, because he has everything it takes to earn back the money. Faster, easier, better, given he will not make the same mistakes. But only for youth, because there's nothing better than reliving life itself again.

Maybe the reason people die is because it makes life more interesting. If you're immortal, you'd probably not want to do the things you do now. You'd sleep probably 245 days a year, or try to make a house of sticks in 45 years.

"The Gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now, and we will never be here again."

People never change. I miss high school. I miss hanging out with my friends without a care in the world over everything. We didn't care about all the shit that's being thrown at us, coz' we take it and somehow make it an enjoyable time.

I miss the times when life was simple. When everything was just within the people you want things to be. I guess once life branches out, we cling onto new twigs and leaves, eventually you lose that simplicity and that sense of invulnerability.

I want that life again. No need to see things I don't want to see, no need to see people I don't want to see, no need to read things I don't want to know, no need to keep doubting myself that I am wrong to feel things that I feel.

Everyone says, "We've all got to grow up someday". I don't want to.

Some people never forget about the past. Some people wish they did. Some people want to cling on to every bit of everything in their life. The past, the present, the future. When the past knocks, they say hello. When the present knocks, they say welcome. When the future knocks, they say uncertainty.

Some people thinks the past is the past and meant to be forgotten. Anything that reminds us of that past should be put into the closet and locked in the room where we will never want to enter ever again. People who will never understand why the past, the present, and the future has all its meanings. Or maybe because it means too much.

These are people, who never get along. Tell me about it.

The girlfriend is having her exams now. I just woke up at 1.30pm. ;/

Why do I feel like Malaysia is this dark gloomy place now? Maybe because I feel so much safer here, so much more free (from political crap and everything else), so much more peaceful, so much better.

It's so care-free here where I am shielded from the world. I am like those little people inside a snow globe. I don't need to care about anything else outside of that because everything that I want or need, I already have.

There's no traffic jam, no racial issues, no random fighting, no robbery/snatch-theft, no killing, no everything. Okay, maybe a little exagerrated, but hey, you get the point. Where I live is basically like a multi-cultural place, there's an awe of respect among each other. It's not like back home where there is a battle among three races, here this is what you call harmony. Although some of the locals are not that acceptable, but hey, every society has people like that.

Here I'm not afraid when I take public transport, I feel safe because not only is it efficient and reliable, the people who takes it are all ordinary people. In Malaysia you'll be worrying about pick-pockets, theft, random hissing, scary stalker-ish people, and those stupid taxi cases where they bring you to an isolated place and rape/kill/rob you.

Malaysia you have to build walls to protect yourself from break-ins, here you'll be surprised if someone even had one. You can't walk along the streets safely back home without worrying about a motorcycle running along and snatching your stuff or getting mugged by people sitting at bus stops or at predestrian bridges, you can't withdraw money from an ATM safely without worrying someone is following you or is waiting to hold a knife at you.

Maybe it's just here, maybe it's certain places in Malaysia. But hey, what have the police ever done in Malaysia to actually attempt to cure her of this disease? They say we don't give enough credit or trust to police in Malaysia, I say they don't deserve it. What they normally do is just stand in the middle of the road to direct traffic or set up speed traps at highways or wait for fireworks to go up during CNY and ask for bribes. People don't see the need to actually call the police because by the time they arrive, it's probably an hour later.

Our taxes all go to these idiots to so called pay their salaries and improve their facilities so that they can ensure us with the "highest" level of safety. Pure bullshit. Malaysian law is the same as that of Australia, we're based on the English common law system as both countries were once ruled by Britain. The only difference is probably the constitution, legislation and the statutes, not to forget that embarassing Islamic law jurisprudence which wanted to publicly cane a woman for drinking beer. The government probably doesn't want to follow the common law, but then again, what other basis can you use to sort the issue of equality among the races in Malaysia. This ass clown, Ahmad Fairuz Abdul Halim, proposed to change the law to sharia law and everything will be based on that. Imagine that, seriously. He was the alledged judge in the Lingam tape incident btw.

It's funny, how two countries which are so similar can yet be so different. The government thinks that the way to go is to offer scholarships to Malays on the basis that they are Bumiputera and not on the basis of grades is redundant. The government complains that the Chinese people who goes overseas to study have no motivation to come back to work for the government. I agree that statement is somewhat true, but in fact, it is true on the basis that the government is the one who has created a situation as such and are trying to centralise the blame on the Chinese.

By offering a scholarship to someone with 6A's for SPM and is probably going to fail his foundation year in medicine instead of offering one to a 11A's student who is likely to succeed in his pursuit in the medical field, the government are just implying that there is no equality among the races in Malaysia. Everyone has grown up getting used to that fact, which is why no Chinese in his rightful mind would want to serve the government. They want us to be motivated, but they have never taken the initiative to at least portray or launch some projects to try to attract people to actually work in Malaysia.

Why? Because they are afraid that their whole stupid scheme of biasness in education are going to be blown open and seen by the world. But in fact, what does the world think of Malaysia? A step back to move ten steps forward is definitely more worth taking than ten steps back and a step forward, but well...

Welcome to Malaysia.

Boring-ness. My Management paper is on Wednesday and I haven't started studying yet. ;/

We've already got the exam questions, so I guess I can start a bit later. Heh.

Anyways, there really hasn't been a lot going on lately apart from exams and everything else I mentioned. Football season's long gone, so I haven't really kicked anything for the last two months. My feet doesn't feel right. Sniffles.

Coming here has been quite a setback though, in football terms. I was like Fernando Torres in futsal, scoring for fun, in Malaysia. Now I'm like Ronaldo in his first season with Man Utd, since I came to Australia. I might not even score if you give me a clear run at goal. How sad is that. ;(

*Aren't these | | | | | cute?*

Okay, maybe outfield and futsal is different. But I like playing outfield coz I get more space to roam around. Maybe it's harder when you have to work a lot to ensure that the team has the right balance going forward and defending. Futsal is way more simpler. Haha.

Among other things, the girlfriend and I have been singing nursery rhymes again. No, not to our children, but to each other. Haha. Although I kind of forgotten some of them. Nursery rhymes are good for child development, they're like watching cartoons. Anyways, does anyone know any child these days who grows up with nursery rhymes? I don't know of any. ;/

Alright, I have to asdfbogil (you also must ah baby ;P) now. I've been nocturnalised by movies lately. Not good.

9 more days to go, baby. <3

Damn, I realise I haven't got a post in November. Sheesh, so I'm moving the date of this entry to the 5th (just in case I feel like blogging again today, I don't like the format where there is no date seperation for every post posted in the same day, sniffles). ;D

The girlfriend just went back to Sydney on Friday. ;(

But it was a great week spent together and I got to enjoy some good food without having to buy out. Haha. Thanks baby. I'll see you in 10 days. Hehe. <3

Also, we changed the bedsheet and pissed off my housemate's girlfriend, again. Don't know what's her problem though. It was pretty awkward at one point, coz I came back from exams and they were showering together and baby didn't know so she was just cooking outside. Then I realised that they were actually showering together coz their room door was open and who uses the hair dryer three times rite. So we had to stop cooking and go in the room to let them come out (they don't want us to know they shower together but I know since ages ago) and enter their room.

And the girlfriend has been very pig as to sleep talk with me most of the nights. Hehe. So the cute. ;D

Anyways, about two weeks more and I'm back home in the land of Malays. Pfft. It's pretty much a rare sight to see any of them here, and to think when I go back I'll encounter a river of them. Safety insecurity would be back on the cards when I go back.

I've had two papers so far and they were pretty okay. Still aiming for my HD for Accounting, but for Law I think a D would suffice. I lost about 14 and 12 marks for both papers respectively due to time constraints. Sniffles.

Anyways, the biggest DotA event in the world is gonna be hosted in Malacca this year (biggest coz' of prize money where winner takes home RM43,000 or somewhere within the RM40k region). I'm heading down with a couple of friends where we'll see the likes of Meet Your Makers, DTS, Poker Stars and MCiTY battle it out for the prize money, although most prolly one of the Chinese teams (either EHOME or CH) are going to win.

I've been sleeping torridly the last few days. Bad bad times. Oh well. On a side note, I expect there to be a grand welcoming of my return and it better be a good one. *hint for all you people* ;P

Byes.

Omg. Watching back old cartoons and just listening to the theme songs really puts a big smile on my face. ;D

Haha. I can't believe it's been so long since I last watched/heard from cartoons like Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers, Little Lulu, Top Cat, Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Duck Tales, Bonkers, Goof Troop, Mighty Ducks, Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, The Flinstones, Speed Racer, Popeye, 2 Stupid Dogs, Sonic the Hedgehog (all 3), Pinky and the Brain, Double Dragon, Mummies Alive, Gargoyles, Scooby and Scrappy Doo, The Jetsons, The Powerpuff Girls (yeah, whatever), Carmen Sandiego, Secret Squirrel, Ed, Edd & Eddy, Swat Kats (definitely tops the list! T-Bone and Razor!). Omg, I think there's more but I forgot them.

Yes, I am a cartoon freak. Haha. But c'mon, nowadays the cartoons are nothing compared to the cartoons back then. Okay, with exception to Spongebob, Hey Arnold!, Martin Mystery and Totally Spies (yes, I mean it).

Ah, the good old days. Off to continue studying. Byes.

Yes, exactly what the title says. And also because I hardly or should I say never post up any sort of graphics on my blog, here's something for people (guys) to see.



— Yes, SC is back and back with a bang! Possibly by next year, Blizzard will launch SCII!

Here's a little peek for those of you who haven't seen how it's like before.



— Yup. Still the same old three races: Zerg, Protoss, Terran (L-R)



— But with WAY better graphics than the original SC.








Yup, with some new units and some old ones. For more info, just go on to YouTube and look up SCII Battle Report (there are four of them) or you can download them off the web and trust me, the HD quality graphics are phenomenal. If you think games like HoN and WarIII's graphics are brutal, this beats any game on Earth by a mile.

Alright, I'd better end this post here. The gf is gonna be like so wth with me for posting about this. Sniffles. ;/
