Short talk:

Bored to death in office.... help me!.... no entertainment!
..........................................................................................................................................................................

I have not been updating my blog for quite sometime already. Well it is not dead… I still do check my blog from time to time to see if anyone has left me any comments. Well, for all you dear readers out there. I apologise for not updating my blog for so long, the reason why for not updating is because, I have started doing my training in a company as an accountant.

This is where I work

Where I sat during each morning

After that got chased to this place during afternoons... sad huh... no proper place for me

The job has kept me relatively busy and yes bored too. But usually by the time when I am back at home, I just felt tired and didn’t have the mood to update my blog. Well, since I am again pretty free at work. I decided to open up Microsoft word and started to type this post to update my blog. Ha!

I guess all you guys out there, must be wondering how my life is. My life is basically still the same, but at the same time it is not at all the same. Within these few months so much has happened in my life and these “happenings” has caused me to re-think about my life and has forced me to change. I am not sure, but I always felt that in my entire life, I love to give people and care a lot for my friends and for the ones whom I love. I give them a 110% of my love and I will sacrifice a lot for them. But recently, things have happened and have caused me to rethink of what I am doing now. Is it worthy for myself? Sometimes I felt that I do not protect myself enough in life that I brought so much pain and suffering in my life.

Well, now I am currently thinking happy thoughts, no point brooding or go on thinking what will happen to me in the future. I could say that I am living for today.

Well, back to my main topic. As I had said earlier on, I have been doing well my industrial training in one of the firms in Kuching. I shall refrain from naming the company. Working here can be both relaxing and stressful, especially you have some funny bosses who ASKED YOU NOT TO LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE WORKING BUT INSTEAD THEY DO IT THEMSELVES! (Phew~! That felt damn good). So much for setting good example huh! Oh… oh… I almost forgot I can’t use to internet too! But hey, they can use it to check and book Air Asia flight tickets… Aww… how nice… such good examples for me… so fair of them… (&%^* @*!)

Other than working stress, I am also facing parking fee stress. I tell you, being a trainee and the company you are working for is situated in the city area is just no fun at all. Basically all the parking in Kuching’s Central Business District (CBD) area needs money. Seasonal parking fee varies, some places charges you and amazingly RM96.50 per month for some other places it ranges from RM60-80. But on average seasonal parking fee is RM 70.00

If you opt not to purchase seasonal parking pass, you can always park at some of the car-park facilities which charges you RM5 per day, conditions are that you check in before 9a.m and check out before 4p.m. or 6 p.m. but for an accountant I had to be calculative (that is why most people hate us accountants…too calculative!) RM5 per day multiply by 5 days which gives me RM25 per week multiply by 4 weeks that would cost me a dear RM100 per month. One third of my pay will be gone to the parking! Considering the fact that if I purchase seasonal parking pass, say RM70 I can save RM 30 and do you guys have any idea that with RM30 I can eat how many bowls of Laksas and Kolo Mees! RM 30 can almost fill my whole car’s fuel tank too! Gosh! Expensive parking!

So right now, I am opting to purchase the seasonal parking pass. Saves a lot for me. Hiaks!

Other than working, at the office, every weekend, I am back at Junk restaurant to work too… but I must admit I have not been going frequently. Damn! Being a lazy puck these days… wanted to so much work hard but….but…sometimes I am just too tired to work. But this week I am going to make myself work extra, extra hard! Yeah!

Only hope that I won’t burnt out at the end of the day.

Well, I guess that is all for now, nothing much to say about. Trying to scavenge for work but failed… sighs… booooring…. (yawnz!)

Preparing for the exams.

Short Talk:
Finally!! I have finished my exams...I am so happy!So many things happened after my exams... and I am gonna blog it one by one... Edwin is getting out of control!
..............................................................................................................................................................................

As you all of you know for the past 2-3 weeks I have been preparing for my final examinations. For the first week, I stayed back in University to study. As much as I wanted to go to the state library to stud, I just can't go due to the fact that I need to pick my mum up from work around 4pm. So I decided to stay in the campus for it is easier for me to pick up mumsie.

Once mumsie is on holiday I started to go to the state library to do my revision with my friends. I can do a lot more studies there. Furthermore with my friends there I can ask them questions too. The only downside was I am far away from my lecturers.

But while I was at the state library, there are times when I just can't concentrate and I ended up walking down to the lake or pond to watch the fish and adorable ducks...yes there are four ducks there, and they are just so adorable.

While I was at there, sometimes I become vain and sometimes I like taking photos of the surroundings. So here goes some of the photos that I have taken.

Well studying at the state library was fun and fruitful. I am looking forward to go there and do my revision when classes commence once again.

That is all for now! Till the next post then!

想太多

我今天，在朋友的电话里听到了一首歌，这首歌的名是：想太多。当时我一听到，我就想起了我自己，是个很会去想东西的人，会去想太多的一个人，想到，把自己的心情也搞砸了。我发现，这首歌的歌词很配我，由此是到“是我想太多”的部分。

我还记得，有个人跟我说过，不要想得太遥远，也不要想太多。现在开心就是了。 我经历的活得开心点，不要再去想太多。但是，有时侯还是控制不了的去想，是在是有点失败，哈哈！但是我定，要加油的不要再去想太多。活得开心点。一定要加油！

这是歌词之那首歌。

李玖哲-想太多


你笑著說 他是朋友
但你眼中太溫柔

我的不安 那麼沉重
只有你不懂

他霸佔了你的心中
屬於我的角落
所以你說 我們 不是你和我

是我想太多 你總這樣說
但你卻沒有 真的心疼我
是我想太多 我也這樣說
這是唯一能 安慰我的理由

他霸佔了你的心中
屬於我的角落
所以你說 我們 不是你和我

是我想太多 你總這樣說
但你卻沒有 真的心疼我
是我想太多 我也這樣說
這是唯一能 安慰我的理由

我想我沒有 錯怪了什麼 雖然你不說
或許錯在我 太晚我才懂 愛了你太多

是我想太多 你總這樣說
但你卻沒有 真的心疼我
是我想太多 我也這樣說
這是唯一能 安慰我的理由

Please let me pass

Short Talk:
2 down and one more to go...please...please let me pass my FIS...Lord....help me....
...............................................................................................................................................................................

After my contract law paper, I was rushing on with my nightmare subject, Financial Information System. I have been taking this subject for 3 semesters already, and I do not want to do it again. By right this semester the questions are suppose to be easy. But I had no idea what happened to me. Towards the end of the paper, my mind started to go blank. I forgot my formulas... I was in the shits.

Studied too long...got bored and started to get vain .. XD

I thought I have done well, until when I came out and starting discussing with my friends (big mistake) my confidence level fell to almost 0. I thought I was going to go up to the 9th floor of Swinburne and just jumped down and die.

88~... good number and was at the 3rd table so its 883~~ nice~~

My worst nightmare!! >.<

I am not going to blame it on my lecturer but, I know that,I, myself is to be blame for not practising enough. Sighs... now I can only hope that I can at least get a pass for this subject. If in the worst case scenario that I fail, I might just quit studying or just study another course.

Another story, while I was studying for my FIS in uni, My church friends were so kind to bless me with "green bean soup" and gave me a card to bless and encourage me. Guys, the soup was delicious. Just right not to sweet. Am very touched by you guys. Thank you for your card too.

The card and the soup~

Darn....why is it always me the one who sits in the first place...bah!

Assignment Marathon

.............................................................................................................................................................................
Short Talk:
My first paper is just a few days away... been doing revision...but still a bit blur...aiiks!
.............................................................................................................................................................................

For the past 1 week, I have been rushing my macroeconomics assignment with my group members. This is by far our last assignment for the whole semester and indeed the most tiring of all the assignments that I had ever done. We took a week to gather information and compile it into a whole report.

My group members are also my adorable friends (Vivien, Siaw Chee and David) worked real hard for this assignment. I am very glad to have them as my group members. Although I think I did not contribute much except to turn their notes into a full report and giving opinions here and there, I have done virtually nothing. Yes, I sounded lazy. Seriously... I didn't know what I should do.

Searching hard for information

But this one whole week was not just work and work, we had tonnes of fun. Because during, this whole week we were so stressed out we have been doing so many goofy things. Half way through the assignment we actually dance... LOL.... YES! Dance...! We changed Beyonce's Irreplaceable lyrics from 'to the left, to the left' into 'to the right, to the right' and dance. Stupid but fun. Vivien was the funniest of all for there was one particular night while David was explaining something to us, she suddenly stood up and we were like (Huh? wot happened?) and she lean over the table and the next thing we knew she was poking David's "spare tyre"... we were like... errr... Vivien what are you doing?? (-_____-'') and she said she thought why David's shirt can move while he was talking and that movement turned out to be David's tummy and yes we were laughing so hard.

I am bad at drawing... but an illustration of what Vivien has done...Muahaha (she's gonna kill me!)

On Saturday, it was Siaw Chee's turn to do something funny. She found this red umbrella and she was so fascinated by it, she started dancing with it.... and David followed her too. The as she was dancing she sang “彩虹妹妹恩爱唉哟...(Rainbow sister is loving ai yo.....)" and she said... just dance and sing since nobody was watching us... and Vivien said... " errr.... Chee... there are cameras up there...Guards must be lookin at you at the monitor there" and she was like oh shoot! and quickly ran back to class. Really funny...

On Sunday, in order for us to finish our assignment we had to look for a place with wifi. Initially we were suppose to go over to E-Magic but it was close... so in the end we went to Starbucks, since currently Kuching's only Starbucks is located at the airport we had no choice but to go there. But soon we will have a second Starbucks located at The Spring Mall. Due to this assignment Swinburne has also become somewhat like my second home, I spend most of my time in Swinburne doing the assignment.

Starbucks!! The new hangout place for Kuchingites...Lolz

Chee and Vivien...very hardworking

Everyone has worked hard in for this assignment. Well everyone except me, cause there are times half-way through the assignment I will walk around and half way through the report I will surf the internet reading forums and blogs. My sincere apologies to my group member... but when I do these things usually it means:

1. I don't know what to do since, you guys are looking for info,
2. Surfing websites, while I was typing the report halfway means my mind is blank and am thinking. So I kinda surf websites to help me think.

But overall, I really appreciate all of you guys as my group members and you are such great friends. All the best for the finals and let us all work hard! Gambateh!

To all Swinburne students All the best for your Finals!!

To my church members who are studying in Swinburne, All the best and God Bless you all!

Weird Thing

..............................................................................................................................................................................
Short Talk:
Exams are near... am I studying or still procrastinating? Hmmm.... a bit of both...but I can't concentrate....bleh!那天。。。我到底在干吗？十一月三日。。。该是我最难忘的一天。 =)
..............................................................................................................................................................................

The day I started to do my FIS quickbooks assignment, was the day I started to stay back in Swinburne a lot and I quite like staying back in Swinburne. I find that I can concentrate on my studies more when I am in Swinburne. I can pick a class and have the whole class to myself and put in a 110% of concentration in doing my revision.

Err... there are times I sort of fell asleep in the class... Whoops! You didn't hear or read that part! There are also times where you can find some weird objects lying around the floor. Like quite some time ago at the Swinburne's 1st floor library I found this weird object lying there on the floor next to the bag cabinets. I took a closer look... IT WAS A BRAND NEW SANITARY PAD...

Tsk...tsk sometimes people can be so careless. Wonder what if the person suddenly needs it, I dare not think....LOL...but nevertheless there are always 24 hour convenience shops around in Kuching so maybe when that particular lady needs it, she can always visit those shops. But again I wondered...will the cleaner "aunties" dare pick it up and use it? Hmmm.... maybe they would! LOL

10th Bible Conference

..............................................................................................................................................................................
Short Talk:
Final Examinations are coming up on 19th of November and I am pretty stressed out. No more procrastinating. Its time to get serious and do some serious revision.
..............................................................................................................................................................................

From 26-28th of October which is from Friday to Sunday, I have attended the 10th Bible Conference. The title for this conference is Our God Speaks. To tell the truth I have never attended any Christian conferences or any other such conferences in my entire 20 years of living in this world and I this conference did leave down a good impression in me.

We had a special speaker for this conference. He flew half-way around the world just to preach and prophesies us. It is none other than Rev Kirk Duncan, from Canada. This man is 71 years old and trust me he is so energetic he looks more like a 40 plus man rather than a man of 71! its the truth! you should have seen him up there.

I am a camera shy person.... Shawn I am not "tiao keh" ok... I am the humblest amongst the humbles

From the very first day, when I heard him teach in my heart I thought he is a great speaker and teacher and true man of God. Yes, I won't deny he is good and I had learnt something from his teachings. Part of me has indeed been inspired by him and his teachings.

Rev. Kirk Duncan and Pastor Kung Chin

His lessons are never boring, just like Pastor Dennis preachings. There is always a pinch of humour which keeps us awake and paying full attention.

But sadly, I was not able to attend the whole full conference. First, was due to my work and second because Jade's grandmother passed away and I just had to go and see if she is doing okay. I won't deny that I quite enjoyed the Bible Conference. Translation by the translators are pretty good. But I was not in any need for any translation as I can understand English pretty well.

Individuals and Couples being prophesied by Rev. Kirk Duncan

Now that the Bible Conference is over, do I feel refreshed or rejuvenated? I am not very sure but I guess part of me is being rejuvenated and that is no lie.

Next stop is the Malaysian National Convention, which will be held in Kuching also. I am not very sure if I want to go or not. But if I am on duty I guess I have no choice but to go. Other than that, I don't think I will be going. Financially, I am very tight. And if anyone of you out there are going to critique about my financial position. I have two words for you SHUT UP! Why? because you are not in my shoes so you do not know what a hellish life I am going through now. Some more my mood has been further dampen by someone who just reminded me of all the things I have to pay next month once I got my salary.

Short Talk:
Finally I finished and handed in my Quickbooks assignment. I am free....free from quickbooks! Yes... now all I have to do now is work harder and pass FIS and all my subjects!
..............................................................................................................................................................................

Have you ever woke up in the morning and you just know that it is one of those days? Or when you wake up everything is just fine and as the days proceed things started to go so wrong. Well as for me, I would say it is one of those days for me. I started the day quite normally and nothing seems to be wrong.

Once I reached the Uni things started to get a bit rough just a wee bit, nothing serious yet. First, I had to park my car at the Kenyalang parking lot and take the shuttle service back to the uni. Because it was a van and the door was quite low, when I was exiting the van, I hit my head "boobed!" in front of the many girls that were in the van too ( I was the only male occupant in the van besides the driver =.=), the only consolation I had was...well... they felt my pain too. I just hope they won't laugh and giggle behind me and start to gossip behind me... "eh, look at the klutz, don't even know how to exit a van. What a loser! *giggles*"

When I went into the library and met up with my friend, he started to tell me about my quickbooks assignment that we missed out something while doing the Balance Day Adjustment. I had to do some minor corrections and reprint and re-burn the the files into the CD again. But that wasn't so bad.

The highlight of the day was after when I finished my law class. I went back to the library again. Met up with friends and help them out a little with their Quickbooks assignment. Earlier on I had asked my other friend who parked his car at Kenyalang also to sms me when he is done and wants to go to take his car. He did sms me, and said the van had arrived. So I quickly cleared up my stuff and ran down holding my books ( I didn't even keep the books and file into my backpack and just rushed down to catch the van). I went out and looked to the left and looked to the right. The van was no where in sight and looked for my friend and he was nowhere> I was really puzzled then. So I smsed him... he didn't reply. I sat down and kept my books. YES! I look so PATHETIC! Suddenly after sometime I received a message from my friend

"The bus driver knot wait o, he said 4.30 another round"
"He drive away already."

Inside my heart... "&@*&&#@$*@#&*... wait a while also cannot, damn fucking cibai make me run like a maniac and made me looked so pathetic, Kanine ar"

So I went back to the first floor to grab some water to cool down myself. Sure enough around 4.30 the bus came back. I doubled checked with the bus driver to see whether is the bus going back to Kenyalang. Yes it was, this trip there was a lot of people, so I decided to take the "first class seat" So I climbed up the van and there was an unwelcoming sound that greeted me while I was half way climbing...."Ripped!!" Oh dear what is that, I looked down and saw that my pants has torn apart! "WHAT THE FUCK!" I quickly grab my FIS textbook and covered it and hoped that no one saw it, especially the group of girls sitting behind me. The hole was huge I tell you and it went all the way up to my hip and when I sat down the hole opens even bigger and it revealed my "sexy hip" to the world including my "ahemz". I tell you I would have turned really red if someone saw me.

Very Sexy

My mind was racing how will I get out of the van later? Crap.... shit.... cibai why...why of all days and of all time now! I have really down right gorgeous sexy hips. I was afraid that by revealing I will be the envy to all the people sitting in the bus

Well as soon as we arrived at the Car Park, I hurried down the bus limping a bit because I was trying to cover the hole. I wonder anyone noticed my strange behaviour. But I must admit it was quite cooling with that big hole, there is a lot of air circulation inside my pants. LOL...

Well the good news it I got home without anyone noticing my beautiful hip. While I was driving I put up the sun shades to prevent the other drivers from ogling over my wonderful hip. *winks*

Hari Raya Delights!

.............................................................................................................................................................................
Short Talk:
FUCK! I am so broke and its only middle of the month! Shit! No more going out...maybe not even staying back for WFL any more...its BUDGET TIME!
............................................................................................................................................................................

The one thing I look forward to Hari Raya is that I can meet my Malay friends. We have been separated since our Diploma graduation and some of them are working. I sure miss them. My Malay friends are always warm and sincere towards us. They never fail to invite us to visit them during Hari Raya. Even now, when we are apart and not studying together we are still being invited to their house for raya. Now, that is true sincerity and friendship. I truly respect them.


Another thing that I look forward to is the food and cakes! Oh I tell you guys, some of my friends serve wicked food. I usually look forward to eating masak merah, rendang, lemang, ketupat, pulut, curry and many more. The cakes and cookies, I need not say more about them for right now as I am doing this post and recollecting back what I have eaten there is making me drool like a bull dog!

The cakes were good too!

The first house I visited was Zeti's house. Her house was the first house we visited and the only house we visited this raya because some of our other friends are not in Kuching for this Raya. As usual Zeti's mother cooks some really wicked food. The cakes are great too. I ate so much curry, lemang, pulut and of course masak merah that I felt bloated but surprisingly, I was greedy enough to continue on with the cakes and cookies after that glorifying meal.

Look at all those food!


My first round XD

After the satisfying lunch at Zeti's house I was back home sleeping! Yes I was such a pig! I know! But I went jogging with Morgan and Shawn that evening. Well "Jogging"....

Then I had this lil dude for dinner...YUMZ! ok....ok... joking this prawn is still living happily in its aquarium in Kuching International Airport. LOL
