Changes

Life is about changes...







sometimes you are scared of changes because we're embarking to a new territory, new surroundings, new ways of doing things.. Big Factor why we are scared, generally, is we are too comfortable in the way we are living now. Example, like going to work, using the same route everyday, because you are sure to be at work on time or earlier to the office and not be stucked in a traffic jam or something... But what if, you have an important presentation and you change your route to the office?!..would you do it?!..Mostly would say no..because you dont know u can reach there on time rite!?... But wouldnt that be boring if u just keep on going everyday of your life...to the same route, same style!?..

For a start, Im not talking about changing my Multiply just yet...i know everyone is doing so and everyone is saying..look at mine...i got it first...for me...WAIT till the 7th July ok!?...MORE surprises actually =P huhuhuhuuh

welll...why i write this today is...my life has changed!..my friends has changed.... some of them are talking about marriage now...talking about carriers..talking about taxation and more stuff that at one time you never thought off... Being here in the UK was a big leap for me... I had good life...good friends... I dont have to worry about food or money coz im getting them by going to work or just go out to the mamak stalls...but in UK...u dont know whether you can survive or not... Well...look at me now...im becoming Bigger!!... I AM having one Enjoying life, with some "spice" alongside it... If u asked my uncle, ask him how terrified i were when i first arrived in UK...I still remember his words...he took me out away from my mom and other family member...and we sat in the bus....(of all the places huh?!)..and told me..."You have dreamt coming here  and why are you so scared!!...If u dont wanna changes...balik Malaysia laa!!" (hes kinda tough on advices)...but i dont give up on challenges that easily..i take this change as my challenge!!

Now...almost a year...im Blessed with Good friends in Birmingham, in London... Ive gone almost the whole middle part of UK, been to Europe..

It opens my perspective of life... how the world works...how people thinks...how they live..

I just got off with my Friend Eddie..and hes so happy to be with his new beu..he made a song for her...(how sweet he is huh?) and i told him to get married!...We are not that young anymore...if u capable to have a family...why not!?...its not a high school love anymore... I never seen Adlin so happy before he met Azimah... And yea...i cant believe myself i told him that I wanna be his God Father to his children ...i just love kids!!

All of us are not 16 or 18 anymore...when we use to hang out..play PS2 or Xbox... Maybe after this i will be working and no time for games!...Maybe golf an exceptional? huhuhuhuh...maybe i wont be able to spend my time on multiply either...eventually...i will stop from this...but not in the near future....maybe another 20 more yearS?...

To conclude this...Changes are good, sometimes its for the good. Scarifies the comfort and maybe you'll get even more comfortable life... As for me...when i heard my parents are moving out from our 20years old house...i was sad....i grew up in that house...but maybe its for the best...maybe i'll be getting a bigger room with a nicer view?...who knows?...

But if changes gone bad...then take it as a challenge and some lesson that we need to learn and to rectify the problem...Everything happens for a cause...only God Almighty knows...and you to find out!!

Take the risk..change for the good...and yes to those multipliers that are changing their sites, make it interesting yaa!!...

Start with small changes!!...then you'll know what i mean...

Depressed, stressed,

Im feeling so Low now
Everything i do seems not getting in place
Whatever ive learn or study, i cant recalled back

To Allah I seek
Please God help me with this Hurdle
Please ease my ways so that i can do my dues
Please open up my heart so that i can study
Ouh please God, that You who could help me and from You that i seek help upon

What a Difference a day made!?...

Thats the song title iM listening to by Jamie Cullum.. Nice , relaxing tune..

I made a long diversion back to my room today after my Project Management class, usually takes me 5 minutes to reach...but this time it took me almost an hour and a half... It was very nice weather, sunny, bright and not too windy (wind usually gushing quite strong of other days), just to places that i've haven't been for quite long time... Just to loosen up my stressful mind, reflecting what my lecturer just told us in the class...Stress sometimes helps...sometimes dont...it will panic you..

What he said earlier was so helpfull....He said..."you already know the answers subconsciously, but panic stops the mind to think"... and also...another tip that he gave, was "dont hold the pen till the invigilator says, you can start now...then start filling in the attendence sheet and your name for the first 5 minutes...you are surely be getting 100% marks for the first 5 minutes"....which is actually true eh!?!?

Yea...taken the time off from books and stressfullness...indulging myself with a whole tub of Haagen Daz to myself...just looking the people having fun under the nice clear blue skies, street performers performing some act...some didnt worked tho...but it was interesting...they kept on trying till their act really put up together...and everyone applaud...

Then me and my musics heading back to my room...Jamie Cullum all the way..."What a difference a day made!?...24 lil hours....the sun and flowers, where there used to be rain...my yesterday was blue dear..today iM a part of you dear...my Lonely days are through dear...since you said you were mine...and the difference is you..." 

Nahh...im not in Love yet...maybe soon... not now....but...its a nice chilling song...brings smile in this kinda weather...




Well...Sunsets..and i need to be heading off to the books...maybe i will just enjoy this sunset from my 13th Floor room of mine..

Till again..

The Trend of the Centurryyy

Every time I walk... whether to the market or to the shopping mall...or whenever i go for jogging in the evenings... whenever i passed a man or a women, young or some old man, i will see them wearing some ear piece in their ears......its not that they are deaf or just wanna cut away the noise pollution...its just that they have either a walkman...or an MP3 player...which is a trend nowday...BUT..thats not the reason I'm writing here today...the thing that bugging me is those people that i've come across it with e WHITE earphones!!...so what!?...its just white earphone no big deal u said?...it is BIG deal...its BIG now!...everyone is having an iPOD!!!...its either the normal iPOD (3G or the 4G series), the Mini or the Shuffle....

What really make this craze so sudden?!...because the attractive ads?!...or just the small MP3 player just plain cute?...

Steve Jobs, the creator of Apple Computers, is behind it all the way....his marketing strategy is Awesome i can sayy...he believed in his products since he first started Apple in 1976 when he launched Apple I, made by his good friend Steven Wozniak. Just a simple circuit board and some plywood covering them. But that lasted them a year to produced it... maybe lack of demand!?..who needs a computer then besides the government or big multi national companies...Steve Job didn't just stopped there, because he believe that computers are revolutionary products which one day be an essential thingy in our lives...dont believe me!?...why are u staring in front of the screen now!?... During that time...Sun computers were producing their computers, Intel were selling their ever best Intel 8080 , which most computer that time were using it as their microprocessor.

Apple after apple computer were introduced during the late 70s and then the 80s..when Steve changed his Apple computers to Macintosh Plus in 1986. By this time almost all businesses are using computers and Mac was one of the peak choices. I still remember my dad had one...and it cost a bomb!!....During this period till the early 90s, Apple gained popularity and only loyal Mac users will stay with Mac and wont changed to PC as Bill Gates big campaigning for Windows to the masses. One thing Mac cant compete with a PC is the pricing...dont ask me why...

But Steve, in his turtle neck long sleeve t-shirt cladded with blue jeans like he always do, keep on producing new designs and powerful Mac Powerbook G3 was around. IN 1997It was the most powerful notebook around that u can get at that time..

Revolution of Mac doesn't stopped there, the most popular iMAC, the single Screen with Funky colors were produced. Personally, i like to have that one, but it has stopped production. The Bondi Blue was the hit, then it comes also in Pink, for the girls basically. But that was Steve's stratergyy!!...Its making the computer Personalized. PC aint personaliesed...was it!?...PC was merely white or black in colour...unless u changed the casingg....and Apple did hit the Notebook sector again with iBOOK... comes with Funky colors as well..

Steve didn't forget the corporate sector, which have been supporting him all this time. The G4 was the most powerful computer in 2002..



Well..thats beside the point what i want to sayy....iPOD was first introduced late 2001 with its 1st Gen iPOD, which was only 5Gb storage capacity. The smart looking external hard disc started the Craze!!..everyone was getting one for Chirstmas...another Strategy by Steve?!....i guess so... then it came out with the 15GB, 20, 30, 40, 60 and then the biggest 80GB.

That doesnt stop Steve just yet!!!.....



It iPOD was too large for ladies, so he introduced the MiNi iPOD 2 years later after the big iPOD were introduced. It doesnt has the capacity like the elder iPOD, just 4GB and 6GB but who cares with storage space when the Mini comes in 4 FUNKY colors!!?!?!?...It really makes the Ladies go GA-GA for a Mini iPOD!!...right LADIES!!?.... well...i like the Mini too....coz its CUTE...



Then the Shuffle was introduced a year later!!...and its just a USB flash Drive with a capacity of 512Mb and 1GB... But who cares about the capacity guys!!...its still an iPOD..and its COOL..its FUNKY....

To sum all up..

Steve is brilliant... brilliant than Bill Gates!!... He developed Macintosh and have u ever heard Macintosh computers having spyware?!...No right?!!...ugghh..thats beside the point...

The iPOD families really revolutionised the society today, everyone wants one, now iPOD comes with a photo screen!!.. if u look back..iPOD is just a hard disc that stores your computer data, but with some WHITE funky headphones (which actually a retro kinda design i must say).. Funky ADs!!...Funky add ons... and its also practical at the same time..

I thought getting an iPOD would make my life difficult coz im using the PC and maybe theres a conflict... But like Billy said to me, dont make Apple products difficult, because, its EASIER than the PC, just Drag and leave it to the folders... Yup...hes right!!... And now....i can officially say, iM an APPLE Addicted too!!..iPOD really changed my life... now..saving my money for a G5 maybe!?...huhuhuhuh

Diary of a Mad man
by the Cures


Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation endless price I have to pay

Sanity now it's beyond me there's no choice

Diary of a madman
Walk the line again today
Entries of confusion
Dear diary I'm here to stay

Manic depression befriends me
Hear his voice
Sanity now it's beyond me
There's no choice

A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me
Is he tryin' to get out or tryin' to enter me

Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself

Enemies fill up the pages
Are they me
Monday till Sunday in stages
Set me free

With much inticipation

Coming soon...near you...

7th July 2005
