Law of Speeding

P/S : Picture was taken in Switzerland. Coming to think of it, I haven't blog about it yet :)

In Switzerland, the law enforced is incredibly strict. As an example, for those that drive beyond the speed limit will be charged 40 Swiss franc per 3km/h over limit. Everytime I'm behind the wheels, my mom will tend to nag me as I always subconsciously go beyond the speed limit (well, not always subconsciously).

Went back to my hometown, Port Dickson yesterday to attend a dinner. During my stay there, there was once when I fetched my grandfather out to buy some durian. And as expected from me, I went beyond the limit again. Grandpa complained to my mom and in the end I got a 'free' lecture session. This is what my grandpa said :

Wah! Ur son trying to be like William ah? (one of my uncles who loves to drive fast). Like this William number 1, and ur son trying to be number 2 lo.

He spoke in Hokkien though.

What I'm trying to say is that I'm really annoyed everytime she nags. I understand the fact that she is just worried that I might get into an accident, but teenagers like us just want to have some fun sometimes. To be honest, my average speed is just around 85km/h. Why would they consider it as speeding? Maybe our definition of 'speeding' is just different? What do you think? YES, YOU!

Nonetheless, I will still listen to my mom's advice. Because they are ALWAYS right.

Home Development, Prima Selayang

Joined a Home Development Project in Prima Selayang, one of Bank Negara's projects. Our role as a volunteer was to raise out our hands and reach out to more families who needed it. The moment we stepped out of the bus, I noticed a view of true poverty.

There was an incident which occurred. Before heading back, I had one last task to perform - to head over to Paramestuari's house (an old woman in her late 40s) and check if they own any of the furniture stated in the checklist given. Paramestuari told us that everything in their house belong to the neighbour, except the house lot, the fan and the lamp. The neighbour moved out so the furniture was just temporally there.

After finishing the survey, I explained the situation to the guy-in-charge. After a few minutes, he came up to me and told me that I was cheated and they aren't what they said they were. I was really disappointed on their behaviour as I was really trying my best to help them.

I've come across this article and it states that back in the early age of mankind it was all about survival. Tribes of hunters stayed together and protected each other from external threat. Food was hard to come by, and if they couldn't catch their food, then they would starve to death. Now we could go to the local store and get some food. Now we could find a place to live and have as shelter. We could increase our social interactions and get to know more people, and help advance our society. Life should be easier!

But NO.. Instead, we are stuck in a world where MONEY rules EVERYTHING!

Coming to think of it, if you look at it in a different angle, everyone in this world is just trying to survive. And I shouldn't be blaming them. Only those who are in poverty will understand - desperately wanting to get out of the shit hole and have a different tomorrow. In the end of the day, you will realize that dignity is worthless. Dignity is nothing but the element that prevent us from proceeding.

Humanity has lost its ways and must find its way back, and not worship a piece of paper, or worse a digital number on a computer screen in which we call a bank statement.

CAT Jan 2009 (Sem II)

After 5 days of being quarantine, I happily dragged my ass out of bed getting ready for college. Filled with excitement, I brushed my teeth, had a morning bath and did my JY's spikey hairstyle (unfortunately it was too long and fell later on and became mushroom look-alike).

Yesterday night, I couldn't get myself to sleep and ended up spending hours thinking of the reactions I'll be getting when I show up for class tomorrow. Lying on the bed, I had the idea of showing up late for class and gives a surprise to all. Imagining the shocked expressions on their faces again and again, it made me sure I had made the right decisions.

I headed to college later than usual at around 7.20am, driving extremely slow which I don't usually do. Surprisingly the traffic was very smooth that I was going to reach college at 7.45am. At that rate, I was going to spoil my plan of walking in late. So, I decided to take a detour, and drove by my primary school to delay my arrival. When I reached college, the timing was just perfect - 7.55pm. I somehow forgotten I needed some extra time to look for my class though.

As I walked towards the lecturer theatre, my heart was beating rapidly and I couldn't hold myself together. The moments I pushed open the door and took my first step into the theatre, the whole class started shouting my name the moment they saw me. Even my "partner", Mr. Jana thought a Victoria Secret model showed up. Haha! GOT YOU RIGHT THERE, JANA.

The best thing is that my friends praised me :

JianYuan looks hotter since he came back from UK.

You seem more appealing , and more manly. Like you have been exposed to the mysteries of the world.

Her quote :

JY is back from his amazing travels. He graced us with his presence in class today. With an air of maturity and the essence of exposure to the world around him, we've got out joker back, but in a more appealing nature. What had Europe done to you, love? 'Cause, so far, we're loving it. :) Glad to have you back bum.

That's the best quote that is ever dedicated to me. Love it. Thanks! :)


Hint : Curious who said those words? Take a wild guess. The colour used are their favourite.

Moving On

Hello, hello, hello

SURPRISE! I privatise my blog. Took me a lot of courage to make the decision. FYI, I am able to bear with the insult from others (Well, usually). But the one thing I can't stand is when my loved one is being disturbed. I am willing to sacrifice whatever it takes to protect them (if this case, it's the money earned I get from nuffnang).

If it is so happen that you are read this message, pat ur back because you are the chosen one. The ones that I believe in (although some I may not know for long, but all we have is time). So don't worry.


PS : Please do click on my ad whenever there. Thanks!

The day I was affected by H1N1

My dad called me abroad a few days ago, who is now 6483 miles away from me. In the beginning, I thought he called because he missed our presence at home. But instead he left me a word saying "BOY, the Malaysian government sets a policy that you have to self quarantine for a week." he spoke with disappointment.

MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT WANTS ME TO SELF QUARANTINE FOR A WEEK.

The word "Q-U-A-R-A-N-T-I-N-E" only appears in my life through TV and newspaper. I never expect myself to be a part of it. I mean getting quarantine is like hitting the jackpot right? The chances are nearly zero. But NEARLY doesn't mean it is impossible. I just want to shout out my lungs and say "FUCK YOU, H1N1". To all the scientist out there, what the fuck are you doing? Are you sleeping? Drag your fucking ass and start finding for solutions. DAMN YOU FOOLS!

It affects me like it never did before. Because of this, I have given up not to post my remaining trip - Switzerland. I can't imagine how much I'm going to miss out in class. The comments I received from my friends expressing their first day of class made my tears filled the corner of my eyes. Missing out the fun with friends, missing out classes, missing out my FIRST FARKING CLASS with the lecturer of why I entered ACCA in the first place. Life has lost it's meaning. I'm delaying my flight back to Malaysia. There's no point going back now.

1 month of vacation as a exchange of all of these? I rather none of this were to happen. But it's all too late. Everything has it's own price.
