Women are From MARS tooo..

I'm just sick and tired when the women always generalized the man as "MEN are all the same!!"

Theres also another saying..so girls...take note... "To know one is to BE one!!"...the phrase are just do correct in that sense.. So ladies...you are no better than the guys...

Why Am i so being emotional on this?!.. Well...various occasion occurred in these past few days... I had a discussion with my Sayang with her friend... well...She said that her boyfriend is not a town guy and he is soo nice... She was like telling me that its OK for her to take advantage of his kindness to go out with another guy behind his back.. Again, she was mentioning, that her Boyfriend was earning quite well and not spending "enough" money....so she took the liberty to ''spent" it all... I was like so stunned looking at her...cladded in tudung (i have nothing against tudung gurls!!)...decent looking...but heyyy!!....shes totally opposite from what I've though... And another statement she made " Well...its not me alone doing this...but mostly the girls i know done the same thingg!!!"....

So...shall I say men are assholeS?...well..WOMEN are no different that us MEN!!....maybe even WORST!!...

Another incident happened to me just recently, while driving from KL to my house... As usual, I would take the long route home... just enjoying my stallion looking car and suddenly, this lady Driver kancil was swiveling around the federal highway... and She looked at me as If i did something wrongg... (another disclaimer...I was at the slowest lane accordance to Malaysian road and safety regulation of the road codes!!)... I smiled...but she gave me a finger!!....bloody hell WOMAN!....

OK...let me explains this clearly... I love Women!...besides...I love my girlfriend, my mom, my sister, my grandmother so muchh... And I dont have anything against WOMEN...but I just againts the phrase they normally chanting to other people..."Men are assholes..and they are all the same"....My bet is ... WOMEN are the SAME too..or maybe much worst!!...

Sooooo...My advise ladies!!....Please dont generalise MEN.... You are no different than the rest of the population on this living planet!!

SHOUTOUT TO RUSH FROM TEPAK SIREHH!!.....check his site peeps!!

The point beingg....

I went bowling just now and I saw a guy on the lane beside mine, he was so 'equipped' with Robocop-like handgear, expensive bowling shoes and bowling ball, cladded with proper clothing and starts to bowl.

He swings his ball up high, like professional always do, and release the ball slowly (dude...whats the point swinging your hand up high)... The ball went spinning hook and the pin clashes...Just one pin standing up high...His face was so frustrated..and blaming to the pin not falling down... He blames on fate....and actually he didnt bowl that good, but he thought he was...

So...whats the point of me writting this story to you??...

Well... He was bluntly blaming of the pin not falling down on fate. He doesn't know that his style was actually wrong from the begining.. Why didnt he blame it on the style he was playing? He has the expensive shoes, expensive bowling ball and expensive handgear (remember the Robocop-like thingy???)

I still couldnt understand why most of us blaming thingys that we want it to be done like that but we didnt make it real? Why cant we just accept that maybe the style, or the way we think its right is wrong?

For me, I wont blame it to the pin or the rolling bowling ball that didnt hit the pin's fault...But I will change my style, my speed, my position to the situation.
The point being is, we should not blame things on fate that has fated to us. Yes God has set a ''Life path" for us, but we could determined the fate that is coming towards us, if we can see yourself. We should know our own capabilities, our limits, our strength, our weakness..then we know whats coming for us...

I learned myself while I was away from home, family and most biggest factor that hindering me to learn myself is ''the comfort zone''. I didnt know how I could lead my life without the people I know, and the comfort that I used to have until then.. I didnt know that I could cook, or managed finances and managed my own life.. Thats when you know your strength and weakness.
I've gone through bitter moments and sometimes sweetness of life, but once you gone through those, you wont bother or you'll know the medicine of that problem.

SO... God actually set a destination of life for us...but not the path of life... we as His humble servant, choose the type of path to reach that destination. You can go to a straight path, or you could go through a crooked path... For me, I would choose the crooked one, because I will learn something more in life from a straight one. Experiences is precious..

SO my fellow friends, dont blame on fate, or blame on those expensive gears that you have, blame it to yourself...because its not fate that is at fault, its the way you determined your own fate is the fault.

Miri miri Miri...

Before the first time I arrived Miri, people always give this impression that Miri is far behind time. People still wear a fig around shopping and walk through dense jungle, and you need to hunt for food everyday... But hey...as a city kid, Its an adventure.

Well...I first came to Miri with an open heart, and I used to living in other people's country, and I dont speak French or German...and I survived!!...even when I was brought into a police station in Germany because they thought I was entering Germany without Visa!..I survived still!..

Now,Miri'an dont speak French, do they? They don't say Guten Tag in the morning, do they?...They speak Selamat Pagi!!...So why cant I survive in my own country?...

And look at me now...I'm just enjoying Miri... Relax, Calm, Exciting, Adventure, Peacefull and like the Sarawakian always sayy..."nyaaamann!!"

Enough for today... I just need some relaxation time people!!....

Have a nice Weekend peeps..

Another year comes to an end....

For all we know, we have come to the end of the year now. How the time really goes away without us realising it.

2006 is a year of a transition for me. From a student into the real working life. Am I regretting the transition? Nope...not me. Actually, I was looking forward for it. Another set of new challenges in other perspective of life. Yups, I have to agree that It is totally different from the student days but look on the bright side... you are being paid to be there and not the other way round like we used to be in college.

2006 is the year that I finished my degree. Finally done with studying and examinations. No more tutoring or late night study. Imagine I've started schooling since I was 5 years old. I still remembered I was in Tadika Ladybird in SS19 Subang Jaya... Then It was SS19 Primary School. Gosh, I still remembered I was wearing short school pants and a tie... And every year, we'll have a school concert, I was a part of a choir. After primary, I went to my secondary school further from my house, Bukit Bintang Boys School in PJ....Gosh...those were the notorious days!!...Then, did my Diploma in UiTM Shah Alam and lastly...my degree in the UK... Its kinda a soul searching for me....now, its all over...I dont really believe doing masters straight away...so I did applied for a job!!

Another highlights in my 2006 year is working with an oil and gas company, SHELL as a Mechanical Engineer. Working with SHELL is beyond my imagination. Maybe I did dreamt of working with SHELL but not as just as quick as I am. Am I proud of it?...A mixture to be honest... Good in someways that I got to be in a very distinctive multinational company and have the opportunity that one would like to have. Apart from the pay of course, the opportunity that I meant is the opportunity to travel, to converse with different type of people, to educate myself at my own pace and also the opportunity to give decision and some feel of authority accordingly and wisely. The bad part is, SHELL has always regarded the top of the top company wishlist that one could ever imagine to work with or maybe to be associate with. You are at a certain level that you can't go any further apart from working outside SHELL. Maybe if you start your own business and serve for SHELL later on, it will be a lucrative offer, but if you think to work with other company, you have to be the cream of the cream from other people in SHELL before you can be even considered to be a janitor in other oil and gas company (well...i am being over exaggerating)...But whatever it is .. I am thankfull to Allah that I got this opportunity.

The other achievement is my relationship with my sayang... We've gone through the long distance relationship with flying colours. And we dont have any problems now while Im in Miri and shes in KL. We had this mutual understanding that for us to be apart again is for our own good... The future... I love you sayangg..

Those all were on the high side... The sad part of my 2006 story, would be the departed of my 3 beloved family member. My uncle, my grandfather and just recently, my cousin. These three people are very important in my life. My uncle severed from a heart attack, which no one in the family knew until his daughter found his body were laid to rest. I felt bad that I couldnt make it to his funeral as I was in the UK still. He would be my 2nd father. He taught me a lot in self confidence and also about the business world. Thank you Uncle.

Then My late grandfather... The gentlemen of the family... the icon among us...He's departure was a sad one for me as we were close together. People tend to mistaken thought that I was the Junior version of my grandfather. We both share the same facial feature. Everyone loved him and he will be always be remembered. His contribution to the country too was one of his legacy... May Allah rest his soul.

My cousin's departure too was a sad moment. I managed to see her 2 days before her lost. We chatted as usual. She suffered from kidney failure and shes still young. The family have planned her wedding scheduled next month but her wishes couldnt be fulfilled. She too was my guarantor for my Loan. I surely gonna miss her.

Thats a little much of my story in 2006...and another year has yet to come!!.. Cant really wait whats in store for me... May it will be some improvement in life and also for my family. I will write my 2007 wish list soon.. Take care!!

Its the mix feeling I have in Me

Well...What can I say!??!...Happy?...Sad?...emotionless!?...Its everything really...

Im Happy because i've finished my exams...It was very tiring week for me... the 1st paper wasnt that bad, but the one which taken the heavy beating was the 5 papers in the row.. the 2nd and 3rd paper was OK...starting the 4th, 5th and 6th paper was really really starting to feeling the pinch!!..NOT a pinch i think....but a PUNCH!!!...both of my eyes are serverely looked like someone had just punched both of my eyes in the eye socket..Thanks to 5 hours of sleeep for the whole week...average of an hours sleep each nite...Wake up very early at 5am and do some revision... DO the paper at half 9 in the morning till 11am.. and back to my room without having any food and back to bed for an hour or so... My Sayang will often call me and wake me up to start my next paper revision session..Thanks Sayang...and the day repeated itself..

It was really a good experience... a lot of "not in the text book" kinda education were learned during the whole time... The last paper was kinda easy.. we had the weekend to revised...but its kinda hard when you drop the revision session and try to start back again..

I'm feeling SAD too after finishing the exams. Well...you can call me weird but I did wish at the end of the exams that I wish I would have to do the same thing again next year...but i know its not possible.. WHY??...because I've finished my DEGREE!!!...yups...it was the FINALS of the FINALS... the END of the whole thing!!...Next thing will happen in my life is the entering into the working world!!!....back to responsibility... My mom's friend told me when I was in London last year, she said, even my mom and herself, she enjoyed being in the UK studying...I would agree her on that...and she also told that...once you finish your studies and going back to home...its all about responsibility!... And yups...shes right on that too...

My life in the UK, well...not that I say that i was irresponsible...but its fun!!...enjoyed the life here...of course there were some home sick thingy happened... not that often tho.. but you can just stay up late...you can just skip class if you just plain lazy... or just travelled around the area at 3am in the city... But once you go back home, I bet to you...i wont be doing all these again... Why??...coz its different... Its working life now..responsible... then you have your family again... being independent in the UK really makes me wanna get a house or away from the family despite i know that they are around the corner....the experience of going to Tesco in the middle of the night for a bottle of milk is really fun!!...but if in a society...it will be there in the fridge..

Its totally different life here...total independence!...its just you with yourself...

I'm kinda sad to leave UK really... I dont know when I'm coming back here again... I will have couple more months to go here and I'm enjoying the end of days in the UK ... It was my DREAM to come here...both of my parents had studies here during their teens and thats when they met each other... My uncles and Aunties also had their education here...so it really inspire me to come here... And its also my dream to work here...but that dream didnt realised....thats actually made me sad...

I'm sure I'm going to miss the awfull weather...it seems that the weather conditions can only be found here and not at the rest of the part of the world... It can change in split seconds! one second its hot and sunny...suddenly it snows!!...then it rains...and then back to windy again!!.. I will write about my experiences in the UK and the rest of Europe in the blogs to come..

Ouh well...i guess thats life... you gain some and you'll lose some.... I got my life waiting for me in MALAYSIA... and got people I love too waiting for me to come back... Its hard to leave my life here.... I remembered that when I 1st arrived UK...i was scared of the new life and leaving the old life in Malaysia...and now it is in the opposite direction...Funny huh?!

Now, I'm starting to pack my stuff now...books in the box, cloths some going to be donated and some will be straight in the box!.... Got to prepare for my presentation next week and also for the race next month (JULY)...ouh..maybe some shopping ?...hehehehehhe..

Take care and see you soon!

Pictures were taken after the exams

It has been Submitted!

Yups...its Finally have been submitted!!...After 9 agonising Months of research, thinking, deciding, arguing, selecting, calculating, typing and binding..It is now have been RESEARCHED, THOUGHT, DECIDED, ARGUED, SELECTED, CALCULATED, TYPED, PRINTED and BINDED, as at 2.35pm today...it has been SUBMITTED...A little bit relief really...but it was a good report I've ever written so far...

THe report is about ENGINE DEVELOPMENT and TESTING for the ASTON UNIVERSITY's Formula Student Team, where this year the team wanted a new set of engine that is very light weight, not as noisy as the previous engine, reliable and also produce more power than before to win the Formula Student race this JULY. So ...me...yours faithfully... took the challenge and got 3 engines for the team to choose and we ruled out to one particular Engine....it is the SMART 600cc Engine manufactured by Mercedes Benz.

Since the regulation of the race ruled out that no standard turbo is allowed to be fitted to the engine, I have another challenge to face, it is to find a suitable non-standard turbo to be fitted into the engine!..And yups..I've chosen some considerate amount of turbos..and we took the best package that a turbo manufacturer can offer us... It was the GT12 Garrett turbo... Garrett turbo was kind enough to sponsor us with the turbo and also some technical help from them..

The selection and matching process involves intensive analytical analysis which needs to calculate and speculate the behaviour of the turbocharged engine and from the design stage...it does looks very good and our team will win the reliability endurance race.

For the time being, the pictures are the new cars and the characteristics of the engine data cant be shown or discussed any further as the car has not being launched by the team. Therefore, just have to wait in JUNE when the car is officially launched!!....as for me...My project was a success and it was one a GREAT enjoying roller coaster ride upon completion of the project....

Now...its my Final Exams...and just a small sigh of relief!!..heheheheh...

Its 4am

Is 4 in the morning....rain trickling down from the skies...and Vincent, Eugene and myself just go back from university going through the past paper for our exams... Vincent and myself have a paper on Tuesday.. and Eugene has 2...

After doing the papers, all three of us went to get some food across the street and we chatted about whats our fate next... Honestly, Im gonna miss this all soon... Gonna miss the late nights studying, late night walks around the empty town center withour worrying being mugged or disturbed by some crazy lunatics... Im gonna miss the chilling with friends and i know..all of us will go to our separate lives soon...

Even though the weather is awfull in the UK...but yups..iM gonna miss it too...

Ouh well..its 4 in the morning...i think im gonna get my sleep and continue studying during the day... and I'm just going to enjoy my life here in the UK..

Dedicate this song to everyone that Im going to miss....

Something to think about!!!

This was taken from my comment on Puteri Sarah's multiply the Gubra's movie that is heavily critised by a lot of people in Malaysia...its about a love story between two different races and two different religion...but this movie shows closes to the real life in Malaysia... the issues that i commented was

Poster of Orked hugging Alan (Muslim and non-Muslim)

Bilal touching a dog on the way to mosque

Bilal and wife befriending prostitutes

Controversial kisses and hugs

Bilal cooking for his wife... one of the commentors said that a wife shouldn't even let the husband jejak kaki in the kitchen.

Hospital conversations and scenes...

then this is my comment about the points in her journal...

personallly i havent watched Gubra yet...but I'm eagerly wanna watch it because the one before, SEPET was really interesting and its a new style of Malaysian film industry... Its a stepping stone for other producers and directors to produce and direct these kind of films and not something so stupid storyline (ie ISKANDAR ..yups..i did watched that movie, Soappy love movies and etc)... Some of them just dont reflect the everyday life in MALAYSIA...

Yasmin Ahmad's style i think..its something what Malaysian is going through....We are multinational country and the movie caters for all...not just MALAYs because its Malay entertainment.... Broader scope of story line.... theres nothing bad if MEN cooks for their wives.... actually men are better cook than women (ermmm...i meant if u go to restaurants...you are served by male cooks..not women cooks rite?!..even Jamie Oliver is a guy)... For the kissing and huggging scene...well...In Malaysia now...everyone kiss and everyone hugs..i know its against the religion..but the movie reflects people in Malaysia now...and it atually sparks a thinking or reflection of your own actions....why Pejabat Agama or film critics critics the film??...why didnt they aware that, it is really actually happenenig under their nose?!?!....

Ok...whats the problem with Bilal and his wife befriending a prostitute?!?!...Isnt the prostitute a human too?.. I get this email from this ABIM and these dakwah groups in the UK about why the Christians and the Jews can be devote to their religion and not Muslims kind emails thingy (i think most of us got this kind of emails...)...this Bilal is like the priest helping this prostitute to come back to religion...its a form of dakwahh.... Here in the UK..the Church is going all out of spreading Christianity...and their ways are really cunning.... they dont tell "JESUS LOVES YOU!!...come and be CHRISTIANS!!"....thats soo NO NO for themm..but they help the homeless...they give free foods on the broadways...they show how CHRISTIANS cares!!... Why cant ISLAM way to dakwah be like that?!...Do you know a lot of Muslims in Africa is now converted into Chirstians!?...because the Christians Activist are sooo proactive in Africa by combatting the welfare of the Africans...

About the Bilal touching a dog...well..again..in Islam Forbid us to own or touch a WET dog...and it we do accidently touch one.....we can always clean it off by samak!...Dogs too are creation of ALLAH...it was MEN's best friend once but because of the ADAM got sent off to earth Incident...the dogs are considered as 'derhaka' to the human race in Islam..

Well...the question is...are the Malaysian are very open minded people?!...do the Muslims in Malaysia really knows about ISLAM??...why do we have a narrow perspective of thinking where in ISLAM...we are told to learn about other cultures and other ways of thinking... but the values of ISLAM should not be compromised....

For me...if our Iman is strong...we know the true values of ISLAM.... and we learn about other religion and understand how they improve themselves...why cant we do like what they are doing?!...that is uniting each other's belief into one strong religion... Islam is actually a strong religion....others are scared of ISLAM... but why cant we even unite between one another?... again...Gubra for me is actually a show to open our eyes...and for us to think!..and for us to decide what is bad and what is right...

Enjoy life...

Goodbye January and HELLOO February!!!... And I have few more months to complete a part of mylife, which I wished to end as soon as possible when I was in secondary school, that is my Education life...or maybe in a better way...my SCHOOLING Life!!...

I used to complaint to my parents...especiallly to my mom..."why should I go to school??" and she patiently replied to me," is to get your degree, and then easy for you to get a job and the have a family of your own!!"... Alll the time...whenever I didnt want to go to school or for a tuition class... And now.. just barely a few months more, I'll be getting my Degreee...

So...

I got my degree now... Meaning that I could get a job?..and I will eventually getting married soon..rite?.... Frankly speaking....I can't wait to get a JOB and getting married to someone I love and want to spend my life with... But My girlfriend, who is now already working...told me to enjoy my student life... coz I wont be liking my "NEW LIFE" after this....Coz you cant skip class when u feeling not liking to go (eermmm...My mom would kill me if i didnt go...but i will give a good excuses to run away from Class really...ehhehehe)...or you cant refer to solution for working problems...

WEELLLL... shes right!... I wont be able to skip work... or ask for solutions if there is problem arises... but...thats LIFE rite... Not only her telling me enjoy my student life...well..most of my friends told me the same thing..

I fully understand the way of life works... Its just that...Why must you COMPARE lives?!...Maybe some people out there believe in KARMA... do u compare with your previous life?!.. or you hoping for a better life in your next life?!??.. I dont believe in KARMA or reincarnation... because my religion doesnt sayyy such thing... It just stated about your life during Akhirat (After life) where you will be placed in the Heavens (if you being a good boy or girl) or being condemn in Hell (if you being...notty...hehehehhee) Anyway..thats beside the point of my posting for today..

The point I wanna point out is...God created us for a reason.. I totally agree with being a student and entering as a working class is different!... TOTALLY... but..why cant we just Enjoy life?!.. Enjoy being a student and also..enjoy being a working force!!... In Islam..its a Dugaan (Challenges) in your life... God wants to see whether how you managed your life on earth... I know working will sometimes go up to your nerve...but how would you handle those pressures?!!?...Even for me now... Completing my degreee is similar to working life...Datelines for assignment ALLLL the time... Even having some time to write a blog would be a privilage for me... or else...i wont have any!!... WORK WORK WORK... my Supervisor told me...thats ENGINEERS!!... working all the time...

So...i guess i wont be feeling a little bit awkward when I start work later...coz its going to be the same... Makes no different..

But yea.. I do enjoy my Student life... And I'm looking forward for my NEW LIFE later...

I'm gonna miss my Student life...thats for sure... Meeting people...Travelling...Freedom...PARTEEYY!!... and yups...you can do mistakes and someone will help you out... Working will be more responsibility needed... times for travelling would be limited... and you cant afford to make mistakes ...if u do...you'll get fired!!....

For now...I would just enjoying my life.... I shall not make a comparison just yet...and If i dont like my new life later...i would just take it as a challenge!!...besides...i like challenges...

Fuiiiiyooo!!!

iDAN

Some time for myself to write a blog!!

Before you know it, we've almost come to the end of January, and a month has past... How time flies so quickly...

I've been soo busy with my coursework lately, I've submitted one right after I've arrived back from MALAYSIA and it took me 3 sleepless nights to complete it, it could have been finished up just in few hours... It was me not feeling really good at that time.. Just imagine, 14 hours of non-stop flight from KL to London Heathrow.. and all you hear is the buzzing sound from the Rolls Royce make engine used by the MAS 747-400 plane!!... I wass sooo bored till i wanted to scream my lungs out!...but i couldnt... I end up talking to the steward and the stewardess on board!!!...PLUS!!...it was a day flight!!...its gonna be my 1st and the LAST day flight I'm gonna take!!..

All i can say, i didnt sleep 24 hours till i reached my ROOM in Birmingham...

Soon after that, i was stucked by a sickness that a doctor cant cure!!... Its my 1st time in MY life whilst in the UK, that i was really feeling HOME SICKK....blluurrrgghhhhh!!... I really miss my family and my Sayang.. Plus...I'm Going to miss my house which Im not going to see.. (My family is moving out this August and I'm still in the UK)...

A lot of fond memories from that House...20 years living in that same roof... When you were having the house... You wish you've moved out and get a new surroundings... and my wish came true!!.. aand its HARD for me to cope with the news when my MOM told me that they are selling the house and move to somewhere else... At 1st, i disagree with the move...but after long solidatary thinking... I agreed the decision to move... Maybe a new place will give a better life or better stuff!...i dont know..Only God knows best....

Spending 3 weeks in MALAYSIA with my Sayang and suddenly shes not there beside me was another reason why I was feeling homesick.. Really missed her.... She was patience enough to cheer me up... I was at the verge of going back home...But my mom told me just before i leave, "make her as your inspiration to complete your quest in the UK" and it really works!!... It really made me up again..and I dont wanna disappoint my Sayang and also my parents... I'm NOT A QUITER!!...huhuhuhuhuhu

But now...after2 weeks back in the UK, I'm up and running... My times is all occupied with work, assignments, meetings and some social outings (like the ALL ENGLAND just finished in Birmingham)...

Ouh...did i told you I've spend my birthday in kinda cool way?!?!.. I was in SKY SPORT/STAR SPORT and also on RTM!!.. i was the Head SUPPORTER for MALAYSIAN team during the ALL England Badminton tournament!!.... Malaysian team managed to get play till Finals for the Men Doubles but lost to the Danish team...and I lost my VOICE shouting MALAYSIA BOLEH to the teamm...I think i will be getting that sort of coverage back home during THOMAS CUP or anything... It was really cool!!...

OK..its FRIDAY night... and the place Im staying at is kinda Noisy!!... Most Chinese are not here coz they are having BIG CNY Dinner inChina Town!!.. and left with the Indians, Caucasian (they are going out later for a couple of pints!!) and a sole living MALAYSIAN ...Moi!!...

Well.. just wanna quick wish to all My Chinese Friends and also my Chinese Readers

HAPPY

CHINESE NEW YEAR

GONG XI FA CHAI!!

(I'll collect my ang pow later aight!!)

Till next posting.... Take care!!

"A man is known by the books he reads"

I've stumbled upon a saying while I was at the city center this Morning and it says,

"A man is known by the books he reads"

Hmmm..i Wonder...If i read all those Thermodynamic books, Fluid Mechanics, Maths and Statistics ..even Project Management titiles..Makes me A thermoFluid mathematician Project Manager?!?!...huhuhuhhhuhuhuh....but it was a nice saying tho!!...

I've always listen to people say about what they feel about life, how they go through difficulties, how they make themselves happy and so much more.... A guy once told me,

"Men are like wine! They get more valuable when it gets Older!! When Women are like Milk, need to be consumed fast!!"

I'm not gonna be sexist or any...But maybe he has a point there!!..And I'm sure the ladies would agree on me this!!... Scientifically, the MEN matured later than the WOMEN... Women start to reach puberty as early as 10 years old, where vital physical changes taken into place. Their chest become more swallen, which later forms to breasts, height of the girls suddenly shoot up ( I used to remember i was shorter than most GURLS in my school!!) and Pubic hair starts to grow around the groin... Then Period cycle starts on rolling and now girls starts this Hormonal changes, a lot of stress, stomach pains and many more (someone help me here!!!)...These changes would come to a plateau till a girl reaches 17 or 19 years old where changes rest for awhile!!...

Then NOW the Guys turn!!... Hormonal Changes starts as EARLY as 13 (quite early) or as late as 15!!!...Hormons starts to kick in the body this time around. Guys starts to change their voices from Squirmy tiny little voice to DEEEEEEPPP growling Voice...( if you think you voice havent change..then..there must be something wrong with you!!..hehehehe).. Chest becoming more broader, Hairs starts to grow at places you think It should grow, like at the face area, armpits... and also at the Pubic Area!!.. And Penis become larger and longer..(What a STUD!!!..hwuahwuahwuahwa) And will reach the saturation rate at about of the age of 20-21..
You see!!.from there on...

You know, the girls developed faster than men.. But Men, when they have already FULLY developed ( I know this will excite the girls!!!)... Mentally... we are not matured enough!!... But Girls already thinking of something more matured than the guys..and gurls have this biological ticking bomb!!...every WOMEN worst nightmare...PMS...Pre-Menstural Syndrom!!!...No babies after this stage...and my GOD!!!...hormonal imbalance this time around!!..So...thats why Woman are like MILK...consumed it fresh...hehehehehe
Men on the other hand is different!!... They are like plain piece of paper..Once MEN have the Paper (Reaching Maturity).. They cant decorate the room yet...because its PLAIN!...would you wanna have a room with PLAIN WHITE wallpaper on your living room!??..SO Men need to decorate themselves to make it INTERESTING!!!... So..as you get older..you tend to be wiser!!..you can cope with matters easily...and YUP...MEN need to read more...THEREFORE the phrase earlier is agreeable!!...

FURTHERMORE!!!!!...I couldnt agree with this sentiment 100%...Where Older MEN are more matured than the younger ones.... SOME are more matured than the OLDER Guys!!... Because of the way they were brought up...Maybe they saw something else from the OLDER MEN!!... And the Ladies too...Older WOMEN doesnt mean they are MORE Matured!!...Some act like CHILDREN!!...also the way of brought up or experiences that they have gone through..

SO...where am i GOiNG in this Journal today?!...hmmm...I dont have a clue really...heheheheh...but What Im trying to say is.. Not necessarily OLDER Men are more matured and more sensible to their judgement, Younger ones too can be more matured enough! All you need to do is GET TO KNOW him before make any conclusion.. Even for the Ladies...Younger girls doesnt mean they are still a kid...they MATURE faster than MEN...remember that!!...so ..their Feelings shouldnt be fooling around...She might be young...but Her mind is Different...sometimes they think on PAR with older guys...

Therefore GUYS...read more books!!...And girls...hmmm...stay loving to your guys!!...hehehehehe...

Till next time!!

iDAN
ps...Ermmm..i dont know whats get into me today...hehehhehehe...

A grey day or grey hair?!...(the End of 2005 countdown Begins!!!)

for the next few days till end of the month I will be writing a recap of 2005!!!...enjoy!!)
Its Such A glooomy day today... raining from Morning till the evening (830pm) and Its soo cold...windy...greyy..and thank GOD theres no classes today...just some measurement taking and supposing ly meeting my supervisor which happens to be YESTERDAY...great!!!...
But the day wasnt wasted just like that... I make sure that everyday, something has to be done!!...even cutting my finger nails counts...

Well... Today really woke up my mind how grateful I am to be coming from a country which is WARM, HOT and yea...cant avoid the Humidity... Its the weather factor which keeps our mind working.. If you see grey dull day...you will be dull and grey too!!..(I have to confess...i got few strands of grey hair ... some people find it sexy i supppose?!...hehehehe)....But when your day is Bright shining day...You life will be bright too!!...a lot of things can be done in a day like that!!...but when its COLD??...when its WET??...when its DULL Grey day?!?...you just wanna be in the bed covers with your love ones...just cuddling each other....*sigh*....for me?...Cuddle my pillow of course!!...

But yea...being here in the UK really make me feel how lucky i AM going back to Malaysia this summer for good!!..yups Ladies and Gents...This is MY final year stay here...Im going back and leave UK... Its not that Im not coming back but...I will go home eventually.. and Finish my degreee... It was sure a lot of fun while Im here... Travelling...meeting new people, new friend, newly found life...and above all...the experience living away from HOME....somethings that you dont realised that what you capable off when you at home..or in your country... because you know, you will be alright....Family and friends around...But when you had to live alone in foreign land...thats something else...

I guess i have talked about me being sick here , how i cope with stressed (some even say i look like Einstein!!!!..hehehehehehe )...How i dealt with people who claims to be "YOUR FRIENDS" but in reality...they were fake!!!...ugghh..i hate these people!!....saying They dont have car to see you but at the end...going out for a date with someone else.. WITH HIS CAR!!...so called friends... hmmmmm...but its OK...human being...bound to make MISTAKES...
Friendships sometimes is kinda dangerous!!...You think they are nice people...showing their smiles, showing how "caring" they are...but you cant trust them that MUCH!!!...maybe just make them as acquaintance is OK... I admit...I might have a lot of people on my NETWORK...but I have handful of REAL friends... You know who you are ...and Thanks for being there for me... Friends are people who not just share the Happiness...or laughter...but also the people who brought you up from the slumpS!!...they are your real friends..and I thank to them...I really love them !!!...Miss you all guys!!...

Then...theres this thing called LOVE...yea..for those who dont know...Love is something that come to you platter and you can have it..NOPE....Love is something you find and nurture them till you know you're ready for loving that person...You dont just get a gal/guy who is goodlooking/pretty and say.."hey..would you be my boyfriend/girlfriend??..i kinda fancy you coz you look cute"...Ladies and GENTSSS...if you do this way...You are TOAST...a slap on your face maybe...Loving a person is a comittment...you know, he/she is the only one you love (apart from loving your family and friend) and he/she should be your friend too...Sharing each others moment is something nice...Trusting each other is also something you should honour in a relationship...Appreciating each others companionship is a big PLUS!!...with all these...Love can be found...for some of you who dont know...I love my Love so much...coz She brought back my life...and she made me feel as if I can fly up to the skies and reach for the stars!!... (other words...she made me confident) And as for me...I just wanna make her happy, smile and laugh whenever shes with me... I love you sayang... (More tips about relationship visit MEN ARE HERE)

Multiply has been very kind to me... A year has Passed...It has been a venue for me to know a lot of people from ALL over the WORLD...and it has been a place for me to write, post or share something from my HEAD...thats why my PAGE is called iDAN's WORLD...what ever running around in a small world of MINE.... Without Multiply, maybe i wont got the chance to travel around Europe or in the UK... and without it...I wouldnt know my true friends and found my Love... Lynn, Tiar, Tuty, Della, Kak Lina, Joshua, Susan Melissa, Susan in the US, and many more (please dont be offended if i didnt mention your names!!)... And My love... Haslinda... Thanks Multiply!!!...

But on the sad note!!...i wont be writing this Forever!!!...it will end eventually...maybe I would just write it occasionally...but among Multiply, Blogspot, Friendster, Myspace, Fotopages and many more this kinda thingy...I will close my Myspace soon...fotopages looks like so slow..dont know whether continue or not...(maybe in the future) but definitely retain my Blogspot, Friendster and of course..Multiply..but wont be as ACTiVE like this now...
SO there you go...A grey day for me...but its just another day passed....Before you know it...its already at the end of the week!!...goshh!!...Time really flies!!.... Well...have a Nice day people...where ever you are!!...

These Days...

Maybe 20 years ago, I wont be writting this, well..20 years ago I was 3 and I don't even know how to write except ABC and 123. Now, 20 years later, I'm writting all the way on Blogspot, Multiply and also on MEN ARE HERE. Which is quite awesome tho, nowadays Everyone can writes and everyone can share their opinions and views on certain things.

Well..20 years ago, the world would have ever thought that this one small tool, or small device is soo IMPORTANT in ones life... and this is the life line and a communication tool for everyone. And this device that i meant is HANDPHONES or some might know it as MOBILE PHONES.. Tell me...can you live without A mobile phones these days?!...What will you get when you go back to the house when you've already half way through your destination... Dont tell me you're gonna get some milk bottle for your baby... but you'll definately will be getting your mobile phone.. Let it be when you're late to work...You always wont let your phones behind.

Maybe the telecomunication industry has been revolutionised for the past 15 years. I used to remember the ATUR kinda mobile phone, where you carry a big looking brief case which was the battery pack for your mobile. And it only lasted you an hour worth of talk time. Then theres the Motorola kinda phones, in Malaysia, they called it "telefon baling anjing" or should i say (sorry for animal lovers!!!) " Throw to the dog kinda phones"... why was it called as such was because, even tho the battery has shrink from a suit case to a brick...when you throw it to the dog or attempt to throw to the dog...it will run away from you... Then Nokia flooded the market buy producing cheap and small phones... Then everyone now using Nokia... look everywhere, see what phones are they using...i can bet 10 out of11...(what of the odds man!!...)is using NOKIA!!

But now the handphone industries are becoming more competetive. Certain part of the country, like UK or in JAPAN, mobiles are given free of charge when you subcribe to contract of 12 or 18 months. Some even sell phones cheaper than your lunch set ( 3 course meal)...But what ever it is, you cant live without handphones nowadays. Even my 5 year old nephew is using a Nokia 3310...My 1st handphone was when i were 18 years old...and I had to work for it...


Today, I'm kinda sad, the phone iM using is kinda OUT of ORDER!!!... tried to salvage it but i think i need to put it to a stop..My Sony Ericsson T610 has gone KAPUT!!...kinda strange..i didnt dip it in my cup of tea or i sat down on it... All my important Numbers are there... Even my family's number...

Getting a new one is also kinda hard!!...its like choosing a life time suiter...The purpose of telephones now has been slightly differed.. Not just communication but also, its the sense of fashion, status quo, an entertainment device (3G, mp3 player etc) and some used it as a storage space...some might use it to make a movie!!...technology enables us to do wonders!!

So.. Handphones or mobilephones now can be so essential to us, you cant life without it and...ermm...(how was it supposed to be said eh!?...anyone!?)...its a personal way to get connected with anyone in the world. I used it to call my Sayang and my family...Text messaging also becoming another essential being this time around...so Handphones...hmmm..ARE IMPORTANT!!...

No snow yet!??.

The Winter Sun

Certain parts of the UK is snowing, everyone is enjoying the white snow flakes coming down to earth. Its kinda early to be coming down this time around compared to last year, which usually occurs around Mid-late December..But Birmingham, no sign of Snow yet...just Bloody cold wind which gushing sooo fast and cold..Even Marry Poppin cant fly in this kinda weather...Maybe she'll end up in Timbuktu or somewhere...

A week has passed... Time really flies so fast..maybe because iM so occupied with my Project and Stuff...before i Know it...i need to do a presentation this Early December on my Final project..what have i DOne really!??!...hmmmm..Dismantling an engine, draw the engine parts, research on Turbo parts...hmmm..thats about it...the presentation worth 5% throughout the whole final project...which is 40% of my total Degree marks (The majority marks!!)...Assignments keep on piling up as the holiday coming near!....but im doing the BEST that i could...

Yups..Speaking about holiday...its not really a holiday really...this year, i have nothing in store to spend my holiday.. Firstly, My dear friend Mas has gone back to Malaysia, if shes still here...maybe i could be her mom's loyal food eater!!...hehehehe...Her mom would cook..wahhh..Malaysian Dishes....i dont mind spending the pounds just to get myself to Lancaster... then last year, Lynn came by...and we had 10 cool fun days together...Dudley, Scotland and a stint in London...the day in London was the most non-forgettable day of my life...we arrived 4am from Scotland to Birmingham and then at 6am we head straight to London...and we were knocked out at the end of the day...Slept the whole way in the BUS...right Lynn!?....This year?...staying the the Uni and do my work maybe?...im hoping for miracle to happen... =)

Ahh..I've applied for a job at several places this year, Retail outlet ( like the one i used to work in Malaysia ) and few shoe outlet (crossing my fingers for this coz i LOOOOVEE SHOES!!).. all weekend job...get some money for my future plans in Malaysia... Maybe using the money to get married with my future wife...or maybe get myself an apartment...yea...for my own family... =P soo...pray for me to get the job!!!....hehehehhehe

The seriousness of your love:I might look flirty, because im Friendly, but seriously, im Loyal to one, im Romantic and i will do anything and everything for my Love....so did it describe my seriousness of my love?!?!?..

Your views on education

Education is a never ending process, and education doesnt come just in text book, your daily life is an education, just need to be observant, look at things, ask why and you seek for the answer.. I've learned a lot from LIFE really...23 years of living, I think ive seen more than anyone around my age. My parents is another factor of me having this kinda knowledge.. They thought me how to appreciate education of life ..Thank you Abah and Mama... Love you both so much...

Success is something that everyone seek for. My friend Eddie told me that Im kinda guy who will spear head to something and if i hit my head hard, i would say Ouch..and try again!!...i will do something that i believe that can bring success to the fullest....I dont play safe maybe... *wink*

What are you most afraid of:

Losing someone that i love the most in my life...My family, My sayang, my friends..and yea..my iPOD...heheheheheh

Who is your true self:

Wow..im Still learning about myself, but from the feedback people has been telling me, im More matured than any other guys my age or maybe guys who is older than i Do...iM diligent, Sometimes so LAZZYYY!!!....but I love the people that i love.,..i will do anything for them...
