BUSUL: What kind of title is this?

Can we just pretend that life is actually not that bad? Well, at least here in my place, it's not. I mean, among other things the crime rate is not high, cost of living is just above average, I can say that supplies are not that hard to get, and love is all around. But what is it exactly that we complain about all the time? I always use the term "getting what you need is important than getting what you want" but I must admit that I want more, everybody does. I can see that many people strive to get a better life and it's unfair for most of us because some people can get what they want easily while others live with what they have. Does everyone think that getting all those stuff can really satisfy them? Of course! Satisfying your demand is the pleasure of life and people don't get satisfied easily. Usually after getting one thing you'll hunt for a different thing. It's a neverending desire that can't be fullfilled even if you live for hundreds of years. The real question is, what is your definition of survival? Live to eat or eat to live? It's a simple methapor that can emphasis on a lot of things. For example, you want a car that can "WOW" people but is it really necessary to turn your back on things more important to life? A wise person will find a way to survive this world for the rest of their life, a clever person will find a way to get what they desire either it's legal or not and a not-so-clever-nor-wise person will fail, not because they can't achive what they desire but more likely because they're not that wise in handling their financial nor that clever to gain more money to fill in their desires. Honestly, many people failed that. We can say that a long term plan is the best plan for everyone. Sure it's a long way to get what you want but it's worth a wait. So, what's your plan? Live a short term stardom-like life or wait till your long term plan pay out. Really. Spend half of your adult life to accumulate the sources you need for later age and eventually you will get whatever you want. This rule applies to us who don't have the modal to begin something that will generate a great income and only rely on the payout we receive every month. If you can't be a wise-clever person, at least be a wise person. -Word from a gold mine.

SOPA, PIPA and ACTA?

I'm actually using that title just because it's what happening around the web right now. I don't intend to elaborate more about those stuff. Maybe because I don't know how actually it will effect us. From my understanding, the law proposal is only in the USA except for ACTA though. I understand that ACTA is bigger than SOPA but I still don't understand how will it effect the Internet Generation. I notice many dramatic response when SOPA and PIPA was in the middle of confirmation process and ..... I'm actually a bit confused. The big question is, is it really that bad? If it is, in which side? Think about it.

Need a better template or layout.

I'm in the middle of finding a new template for my blog here. This current template is the basic one actually. I want to make my own but I'm pretty blocked right now. Couldn't start my creative thinking. Last time my layout page was based on a template I got from some website. The template is simple but I did some modification on it. I changed the layout because I think it's about time. I'm tired of seeing the same layout for about 2 years in a row. I know how to make it, I just don't know what theme I want. Hmm.. Birak la dlu..

New Year's Resolution

My new year's resolution? Let's see... hmmmmm... I think I'll do a better management on myself, lose some weight, save more money, love my wife more (in case she's reading this.. hahah.. just kidding!), spend more times with family - my family's families - if you know what I mean, ah.. not sure. I got so many things in mind that I want to do but all of it is a long term thingy. Not sure if I can achieve it all in this year but I'll try to achieve most of it.
So, what's your new year's resolution?

Ending 2011 Chapter.

So, here we are once again. In a couple of weeks, it will be new year again. Since I haven't been updating this blog much frequent as it should, I might as well just write a summary about my 2011.

So, what happens? Let's start from the beginning.
The opening year of 2011 was quite busy because it's Chines New Year season. Right about January I've been informed that I will be transfered to MIS dept as System Support. Well, The goes my resume again. At that time it was only a rumour and there's nothing to backup those claims. After CNY, I got a call from MIS for an interview. There were two of us actually. Weeks after that, nothing. By the end of February (or was it early March? I can't remember for sure), I've been informed that I will be stationed in Lahad Datu to help with the new outlet opening there. I was there for 2 and a half months. That was the first time I flew within Sabah (with MASWings). Before coming back to KK, I was promoted to System Support (by phone) starting April. At 9th of May 2011, I'm back at KK. The day after, I come to MIS dept to report in first time (in office) as a System Support.
The first few weeks I was familiarizing myself to the new environment. I was quiet and all (that's how I am when I'm in a new place =P). I figure out that some of my colleague there was making fun of me but I was ignoring it so I don't really care. Working here is not the same as working at outlet. It's a whole different scope of job. That's why I'm saying "there goes my resume". It's like I just start working. I was building my experience while I was still an IT clerk but now it's a whole different thing.
June, July, August, September and October was just normal. Nothing too fancy. November and December is where I have a life changing experience. The opening week of November seeing me and my family coming to Tawau to meet with my girl's family and setting up an arrangement for marriage and such. I was excited until my car overheat and broke down 30km from Lahad Datu. It was a heartbreaking moment if you ask me. The painful part is that I've spent a lot of money to fix it. Actually fixing it only cost about RM1000++. It's pretty much already isn't it? How about this, towing that car 30KM to Lahad Datu cost me RM300. The mechanic said that fixing it gonna take a while since there's no part available there and suggest that I transport the car to KK.. Well, my father insist that I do it so I did. It cost me RM500. All in all, it cost me about RM2000!! :( .. Well, I don't know what else I should do. I get married in December but left with no money to spend.. no honeymoon.. My poor wife.
Never mind, now that my car is working fine and all, I can start managing my money again and hopefully I can go on a honeymoon with my lovely wife anytime soon ;).
So, that's pretty much, roughly what happened to me in 2011. I have a lot more to share but it's time consuming to remember it all and portraying those memories into words.

A writer's block ..

I don't know if I spell it correctly or not.. but I think you all know what I mean with the title up there.
I admit that it's hard to get any inspiration to write about anything. I personally think that I could actually write at least one article per day. By not doing so it somehow shows that my life is somewhat boring!! If everyday you do the same thing, the same routine then it means that there's nothing to write about right? But for me, I don't think so. Why? Because my everyday life is full of excitement or the opposite. I wish to have a happier day as I grow old but there's no such thing is there? The challenge will come and we must fight. Either we go down or we achieve greatness, that's the outcome that awaits us. I don't usually have this kind of thoughts but now that I do have it, I decided to write it down here. Oh no.. I can't think of anything to write now... yeah.. I just yawn a bit and Poof! all my idea is gone..
Well then, I will search for material to write about so in the mean time, that is all for now. Ciao~

Growing up..

Not so long ago I've witnessed some teenagers doing stupid things to other teenagers and adults. I was mad at them at the time but seeing that I can't do anything about it, I just walk away from it.. actually I continued my surveillance not so far away from there. What they did is utterly unacceptable! When I think back, I'm still angry!! Wanna know what they did? Okay!

It was the night of 30th August.. eve of Merdeka Day.. and when the clock strikes 12a.m, those teenagers starts throwing fire crackers in the middle of where the crowds are.. and to make it worse, they even throw some firecrackers at the people sitting at a club nearby.. it was annoying and the clubs officials and safety personnel come to settle down the teenagers but they didn't listen to them.. they even provoke the officials by pushing them.. I was at the 3rd floor at that time and the incident happened on the ground.. while the others were harassing the officials, I saw this one teen throwing a firecracker at the officials and holding his hand up in the air like he just won something.. hey! it's very stupid!! I saw everything from up there and I can 100% conclude that it's very stupid!

Remembering back when I was a teenager.. I never saw anyone at my age or generation doing that kind of stuff.. yeah we have done some stupid things but not as far as that.. and we only do stupid things to ourselves but never to anyone else.. what makes me sad is that they picked Merdeka Day to do that kind of stuff. So then I express my feelings towards their action in FB .. I post it on my status box and there's this certain someone who thinks that what the teenagers done was not really stupid.. and I shouldn't call them stupid.. ??????? .... really!!???? why?? because you were like that or are you still acting like that? Does that means that you're getting older but you think that you are still that young to be acting like that? For me, you're one of them! For whoever think that what they did wasn't that bad obviously you never think about how would it be if you were the one thats been receiving a shower of firecrackers and a bunch of teen pushing you around!! Let's see if you can handle that!!! This certain someone always act like a rebel.. and that certain someone is already 20+ years old.. how can you support such action??

Maturity is not measured by age.. when your brain start to develop the way of thinking as others, you will understand what is the meaning of being mature.. If you don't want to be considered as grown ups or adults it's fine but please let your shell be the kid on not your brains.. You still can act like teenagers but not like that.. not harassing others.. wear what teens wear.. listen to songs what teens listen to.. play what teens play .. talk like teens do .. or even write like them.. but don't act like that.. harassing others is not even in teenagers daily routine or weekly or monthly.. it's the work of criminals!! yeah I did say those teenagers are stupid but I never said that teenagers are stupid!! Don't be confused! Read it back to back and understand what I mean before making any comments on it! Don't misunderstand what I mean.. saying that "teenagers are stupid" is not the same as "THOSE teenagers are stupid!" .. the word "THOSE" indicates that I was referring to the teenagers who was doing that.. But if that certain someone thinks that what the teenagers done back then was acceptable... then it means the certain someone is just as stupid as them..

You're not getting younger..
