The Eyes of Demon

Been months I having these corns or they call it "Kai Ngan"(Eye of chicken) in Cantonese on my left feet. I called them Eyes of Demon. But these eyes did not grant me super strength, high intelligent, extreme agility, or any blessful luck but a pain on my left feet in every steps I take. I barely stomp my left feet on the floor in full force ever since I got these eyes. Is it because I'm affraid of the the pain? The healing process hurts me more with some special formula of medicine used to rub on it. The medicine will like rot my skin but yet I don't know whether it really helps or not. This has somehow reflected the real me, did not dare to take the next step which knowing it will cause me pain. But no one knows whether the pain would bring me something fruitful as exchange or not.
A picture tells a thousand words, below is recent look of the bottom of my left feet.

The medication process...

If my left feet would be heal as soon as possible, I swear I'll love myself more. Starting by buying myself a better pair of shoe.

Decision

It's not easy to make a decision when you lost your direction in all of a sudden. I used to think the path I need to go would go through as I expect but I realised that it's not after my appealing for local university been rejected. Was felt so lost once. After a few days doing some surveys about the private universities around in order to pursue my further study, I have came up with 2 finale choices to be decide.

1) Taking Graphic Design Course at UTAR

Strength

• I got my interest into it and atleast this is the furthest I can go with both my interest and career were packed along.
• Could have taste the university life as well here, a new campus has been built.
• Can easily cover the fees and expenses by taking the PTPTN loan

Weakness

• The PTPTN loan would became burden as well in the coming days after I finish my studies.
• Could be a bit too late to look for job after finish my studies, I would be 23 years old by then.
• Course starts by January 2009. Have to wait for quite a time.

2)Taking Communication Course in Open University

Strength

• There's about only 2 classes each month and could have enough time to get a job to absorb working experience in the same time.
• While using my own salary, I'm capable enough to cover my own study fees without relying on the PTPTN loan. I'm free from the burden.
• Course starts by September 2008

Weakness

• Actually I'm not so clear about the function of this university yet.
• I'm tired of working already. Should I still keep on working while studying?
• Can I manage to do my work and study well in the same time?

Kinda headache everytime when thinking about this topic. I'll pay myself a visit at the PJ campus of UTAR and ask for more info about the Open University. I'm in need of opinion, please feel free to drop me some if you got something to comment about.

Appeal Down

By Sunday evening, I've been informed that the appealing result will be out by Monday but I was like not quite believe. So fast? Night time, I received a message through SMS and telling the same thing too. I started to get nervous. As before the time strikes 12, I received a call asking about how to check the result. Alright, Now I know that the moments of truth has finally came. 15minutes later, I've been told by sending UPU *space* I/C number and send to 32020 and the appeal result will be shown. I do it without hesitating and the result I get...
DUKACITA, Rayuan anda tidak berjaya

again...

It let me down twice and seems like this is not the way I'm allow to take. Well, guess there's no use to think over about something bad which has already happens. Should I put someone on a blame for this? The gouvernment? What for? But atleast I'm free from the fruitless waiting, need no to wait for something which brings nothing. As life goes on, I should have a new goal for my own. Where to be? You'll know when I'm ready to tell what have I decided.

I'm still walking the path of heaven...

The 32nd Bon Odori Festival

The once in a year Bon Odori Festival are here again. I reached the Masushita Stadium by around 5.30pm after my bro bring me to lunch at Subang tagging along with 2 of his coursemates. The entrance...

I saw St.Johns been desparate for donation these days.

And here I am under the stage of the 32nd Bon Odori Festival.

The place was crowded with photographers.

The first friend which I bumped to that day would be Eugene.

Eugene:"Slap you!"

Before meeting up with my Jeffre & BoonKiat who are still on the way with Jason as their driver, I went for some errand running to look around.

And there comes the stars of the day, a photographing-session are provided for them.

This guy can even perform with his injured arm. Cool~

Later then, Jeffre & BoonKiat arrived and been told to meet up under this boardsign.

Soon after we grouped up, we start our 'fishing' mission with my trusty FE-320.

Starting with some IkanBilis...

And some tunas...

Have the most unforgettable experience with that girl in the middle, let's name her Black. What had happened? scroll down more to find out...

The biggest fish of the day would be this Japanese girl in short Yutaka. Let's name her White. Unable to catch it, just have a side view of her... Aww~

Well, we do need rest somehow. As the music started, the people on the stage and the audience started to dance along. This is what we came for Bon Odori for.

And BoonKiat seems to enjoy it very much...

After we finish the 3rd part of dancing session, we resume our fishing mission. This time, Jason joined us after he finished his business.

Open your eyes dude...

Jeffre is not happy with this photo...

Smile...

Even guys also we catch, but seriously that Japanese guy in blue are really handsome. No pimples...

Still remember the Black I've mentioned earlier? She passed by in front of us with her friend when the event are about to finish and I was trying to get a second attempt of photographing with her because I wasn't satisfy enough with the first attempt. But I was somehow been rejected and she just shaking her head with her legs started to fleeing away. Ish~

Meanwhile Jeffre been obsessed with White. Although we keep seeking for her but she just appear for us once. Can't find any chances to take photo with her.

The event has come to an end, so we take a picture together...

with bro

with broz

This is our last catch of the day before we leave the gate.

After that, we went for Mamak and Project D again at Bukit Tinggi with Eugene, Sam, BennKitt and AhKai joined us. Got overtime this time and somehow screw-up for some go home transport issue. Anyway, thanks to Jason for fetching me to Meru and Sam, BennKitt and Eugene providing his Myvi and send me back to K.U. Thanks alot and sorry to troubled you guys. And Happy Birthday to Eugene.

Translation

Always thinking that those japanese drama/anime which boardcasting in the local channel in Bahasa Malaysia are lousy. Bad timing, the meaning and grammar not accurate, and the words like speaking out without feeling. Lousy~

Until my bro found this part time job days ago, rewrite the script by translate it from Japanese to Bahasa Malaysia. It comes with a script and a demo VCD like this...

Wondering what story we're working on? It is episode 318 of Crayon ShinChan. At first we thought it should be an easy job as we do understand the common Japanese language. But understanding is not the hard part, translating it is the part which burst our head off. If you know the wat ShinChan talks, you should be able to understand it's not easy to convert what he says to Bahasa Malaysia. If directly convert it wouldn't sounds nice and we have to consider about toleration between the dialogue and the scene. As helping my bro, working on it made me stay up late at night till 4am yesterday, but my bro brought some complement home after he submit the script. Somehow feel worthful doing it.
Now I've understand that it's not easy to do language translation, I'll pay extra respect to those doing the translation job behind the scene in the local channel company from now on. They've been doing a great job all the time, gave them a big applause...

Working #5

Due the heavy rain has fallen during midnight, it has created a flood reaching 4feet high at the Berkeley round-about and causing serious traffic jam in the Federal highway this morning. But this is rather a goodnews for me. Janet calls me saying that she'll be late as the trafic is jamming. So I just say that I'll be waiting downstairs at the corridor. Although I wait for an hour doing nothing but standing at the corridor before she comes, this mean I work less an hour today. =P
Lunch hour, watching "Forensic Heroes 2" while having my MaggiGoreng...

Suddenly, the DVD jammed and we have to stop watching it and turn on the radio instead. A distributor turned up while the song "I will always love you" by Witney Houston are playing from the radio. When she heard that song, she show us another version of that song which is sing by a 7 years old little girl named Connie Talbot by playing it using her cellphone. But that is just a MP3 playing. After she left, I stream up to YouTube to look for some relevant videos about that little girl. She really impress us us this time and almost made me shed my tears. We keep streaming for more videos and was like forgotten about our work. But we do still get back to our work after that.

Recalling back then, what have I been doing when I was 7 years old... ?

A Day with Batangz

Yesterday, as planned went to GreenBox with my fellow buddies. But the morning before we sets off to Aeon Bukit Tinggi, somehow have an unexpected reunion breakfast at SouthernCurryHousefor ex-5SN4-Batangz. Which is Sam, TuckLong, Eugene, BennKitt, CheeHou, & me. Haven't seen BennKitt eversince the last time we gather during Chinese new year. Sharing some useful info as we bring to topic to the education part. Thanks for sharing, and Sam, thanks for 'bird-ing' along... =D
Later then, TuckLong, Sam,& me off to fetch BoonKiat & Jason and straight down to GreenBox while waiting Jeffre and Wilson waiting in the room 47. With Jeffre around, I inserted quite numbers of Japanese song, and I performed the song which I use for my caller ring tone.
3 hours of jamming in the K-room can no longer satisfy us. Guess it's time for round 2 then.
Wilson back to his Grandma house and we went for "Project-D" at our good old "Secret Base". With 6 of us, we have a 3 on 3 match 1st ro warm ourselves up. Jeffre First-bleed me. As Eugene & BennKitt joined us later then, it's time for 4 on 4. BoonKiat lose all 3 matches as he randomly teamed with Sam, but he says his happy with it for he proved Sam keep feeding. Without being noticed, the clock has strike 6pm. It's time to go home and we call for a dismiss for that day. While still in Eugene's Myvi, BoonKiat asked whether still wanna go for round 3 or not by night. The answer from us, "See first".
Later by 9.30pm right after I finished my dinner at my grandma house, BoonKiat called me saying that he'll reach me in 5-10 minutes. Looks like it's a green light for round 3. With TuckLong, Eugene, BoonKiat, & me in the Nissan Sunny MP-3771, we strike down to an Internet Cafe called Microsoft something at Bukit Tinggi. Trying to join their games but there was full of leavers. Started 3 games but leavers still exist. Until Jeffre joined us again, we can finally have a proper game. It's not easy though as our enemy was quite good, myself like Tauhu, even Jeffre keep being pawned. But in the end, we win the match but we do less hero pawning. 12am, TuckLong send everyone home. He says although we somehow performed badly this time, but he's happy for this is the first time he saw Jeffre running away and keep escaping like we do all the time. Felt like having the same rank with Jeffre. But the usual Jeffre playing with us is like 5 of us "gangbang' him yet he killed all 5 of us. Haha...
Got myself enjoyed and free from working stress whole day, how happy. And I got a good news for myself today. I don't need to attend to staff meeting by this saturday at Johor Bahru. This mean I can get myself on the Bon Odori Festival! Yay! Guys, let's plan something up for that day... =P

Over Time

For 3 consercutive working days, I have to work for over time. I'm seriously felt so exhausted and do not wish to work anymore. For the 1st day over time(last Friday), I was thinking "Alright, I deserved this" for I've got myself enjoyed for extra lunch hour as what my previous post did. Got myself stayed back at the office till 10p.m until all those distributors finish their meeting. 2nd day of over time(last Saturday), not particularly a serious case though but anyhow I worked for extra 2 hours. But it's okay, I've somehow get used for every Saturday to stay back for a couple of hour. Thank god I still got my Sunday to atleast take a break. Today, it was insane! Start working by 10a.m and off work by 10p.m. What the hell? I've spent 12 hours in the office? I suppose to off work by 6p.m! Extra 4 hours of working! What have got us staying up till so late in the office? Thanks to all those distributors who summit their order forms in the last minutes before the closing for June. Their order forms come in a big whole stack! Imagine 3 computers are on work yet still unable to finish key-in'em all. But the main reason we have to stay up so late is because we can't really settle the payment of the day. We got extra credit card payments, short of cash, and many more problems. By just counting the sales of the day has consumed 3 hours of us for the money on hand doesn't match with the amount online. Damn it was stress enough counting'em plus I was so hungry and exhausted(Haven't get my dinner yet). Tomorrow gotta settle them all as soon as possible.

While taking the stress working over time, I was thinking... Shouldn't I be at somewhere else than working here stressfully right now? If only I was success in taking place in local Uni, I should be free from all these stress I'm having now. But come to think about it, who to blame? No one else but myself for not studying well enough? I've realised my fault, will I get a second chance?
