Joy.

Bleh,it marked another day when I decided to step foot into my current Uni for another day's lecture,thanks to the utterly brilliant arrangements and holiday scheme,I've got a day of class after 2 days of Raya holiday.Since I was unsure about what will be the mid-terms like,I decided it won't be wise to skip the class hence I appeared to be in the class,although I was late for like 45 minutes.(due to overslept until 7.30a.m)It was surprising as well,as the lecturer was away for a remote control hunt and I didn't get any attention when I joined the class.It was still the same 'interesting' lecture and 2 tutorials later,it came to an end!!Since OB's lecturer was on Raya break till the next week,it was just made compulsory for us to sign the attendance list and a tick later,I was out of there.Linger linger linger,found out that the school's really hard to go around as the >30° slope was really like hiking.

Nevertheless,soon enough I made an escape and begin the real deal,shop for cousin's bicycle helmet and also finding one of my dearest friend to mum mum+talk.Fun fact here,T.T.D.I. means Taman Tun Dr Ismail.Why the sudden addition of fun fact??I made a very funny detour to there,when I actually didn't know it meant that.Imagine this,Point A is just a right turn away and You spent a way round to enter from behind.Yeah,I was like why on earth this route seemed like the one I just went through.Haha...

Next,there I went to Cova,opposite to the famous SEGi to ferry my friend,and went to 1Utama for some window shopping.Windows later,I found myself deeply in love(Love at first sight to be exact)on a particular wallet.Yeah,God knows how long have I been searching for the right one.And voila,it just appeared in front of me and after bursting in tears of joy,I took the bait,burning my red-hot-just-withrawed-cash to get it.

Here's the thing.

Simple.

Inside of it.

Haha,to be honest,this is the 1st time my dad compliment about the stuff I bought,rather than the usual scolding type.He actually said this particular wallet is very unique and it's compartment are well designed.OMG,dad's changing already.

Well,back to what I was sharing,after getting the wallet,my friend suggested ice-skating.Since I was thrilled by acquiring what I've been wanting all the time,I nodded to my friend's suggestion and go for it.Yeah,although I haven't been skating for like a million years.

rm21(Entrance)+rm8(Glove)+rm2(Locker),all set!!!Getting ourselves done,we hit the ice!!!It felt weird at first,and yeah,the very friend of mine never skate before hence it was like 5 times of total to touch the ground,2 of which including pulling me together.(True friendship,I fall,you also fall)And in a blink,I figured out it's really nice skating in a rink as people tend to communicate although they don't know each other.Why??They'll shout at you to move away and if you fail to do so,be prepared to be human bowling cones--Strike!!!Besides,it was like everyone's helping the others to get up after falling down and I found that's relative nice of us.(I HELPED LOTS OF PEOPLE TO GET UP FROM FALLING)Oops,I accidentally bold the point.Oh yeah,it was really fun skating!!!

The Rink,Before.

The Rink,After.

The Gears.

Yeap..After a few donuts we bid farewell and I thundered back to Melaka and that's the end.=)

Life.

Some say life is about living the best out of you and let no regrets,some say life sucks.Here's one article about a guy that looked back.

Pak Rashid is still looking for an identity

2009/09/20

He now shares a small two-bedroom house with Wahab, and "Koriang" -- a mother cat -- with her three kittens called Tompok, Merah, and Chomot.

The kittens are surrogates to the children that Salleh will probably never have.

"Even though we made a hole in the wall for them to go out and answer the call of nature, the kittens aren't so toilet-trained at all.

"There are times when I come home and the living room is a real mess.


"If I'm really tired, I just go into my room, shut the door and leave them to do whatever they like," said Salleh.

The two brothers just live for the day, earning between RM20 and RM30 a day from repairing shoes which they use to buy food.

And, although Salleh is qualified for welfare assistance, he said he won't ask for it because he felt that he could still manage for now.

He has two more younger brothers -- Ahmad and Zulkifli -- who live in Baling, Kedah, and a younger sister Fatimah, who lives in Muadzam, 4km from Changkat Jering. Between those three, Salleh is an uncle 13 times over.

"I haven't decided yet whether to spend Hari Raya Aidilfitri in Baling this year. Our motorcycle was stolen recently.

"Having been a robber myself, I'm not surprised. Thieving is a normal thing in this world, isn't it? God is probably paying me back for my sins," Salleh laughed.

In 1975, when he was just 26, Salleh and an accomplice decided to rob a Felda vehicle carrying a consignment of cash.

They were caught and because it was an armed robbery, they were sentenced to jail for the rest of their natural lives. A natural life sentence means the prisoner will never be released.

Unlike a life sentence where a prisoner gets a maximum 20 years, or 14 years with good behaviour, the only way a natural life convict can get out is through a royal pardon.


At the time he was released in 2006, at age 57, Salleh had spent almost five extra years in prison than he had lived as a free man.

He has to live up to the age of 62 before he evens out the time he spends in the outside with those he spent in the inside. He is now 60.

Salleh had no idea how the cost of living had increased in 31 years because he was in jail for so long.

"A cup of black coffee used to cost satu kupang (10 sen); but now it's lapan kupang (80 sen).

"It was such a big difference that I thought 'Is this real? Are the sellers trying to cheat me?'," Salleh said.

"It took him a while to get accustomed to living on the outside," said Wahab, who is 21 years Salleh's junior.

Wahab was only 5-years-old when his big brother was sent to jail.

"Before he went in, there were only one-lane roads. Now, there are multiple lanes and he doesn't know how to ride in the busy traffic.

"Sometimes he just stops in the middle of the road," said Wahab, who rode pillion with Salleh while he was learning how to ride a motorcycle.

"Prison is a part of his life that whenever we talked, it's common for him to start a sentence with 'In prison...'

"Even after three years, he still hasn't found his bearings. He's still out of time and feels misplaced," said Wahab.

"He's looking for an identity for himself; whether to continue living from his interrupted youth, or to be an old person; whether to be a good person, or the tearaway that he was when he was young.

"At the moment, he just layan hidup (takes each day as it comes)," said Wahab.

The brothers' lives revolve around waking up and going to the market. Their world is all within a one-kilometre radius of their home and they hardly wander out of it.

Therefore, Salleh's life outside isn't any more exciting than inside Taiping Prison.

But, he is a free man.

"While I was in prison, even though I watched television, I always imagined how life outside would be like in the '70s.

"But it's actually more challenging and difficult.

"I don't feel disappointed. I just have to learn to live in this era," said Salleh.

"My productive years were wasted in prison. If I hadn't done what I did, I wouldn't have spent almost 31 years in jail.

"Maybe I would have had children and become as successful as my friends.

"That is an alternate life I can never realise. And I just have to accept that," he said.

Morale of the story to me??We have to live our life,but in order to do so we will still need to have a list of Dos and Donts.

Sunday.

It all started when,DUH i opened my eyes,only to found that it's already 1p.m..Yeah,yesterday night's tea session marathon with cousin brought effect to this.To find myself in this situation,no time wastage could be compromised so there i rush,to the WC,to the basin and to the food on the table.Then,something in reality struck me--Mid-terms,and i proceed to the notes,Organizational Behaviour.Only to be found,it's significantly hard for me to understand its alien accent.Hence,I figured only way to sort things out are by releasing stress and so I resorted to the front of my lappie,and there I spent,from noon till now.Having the same routine checked,again I found my life full of plans,to list out a few.

1.Escape trip after mid-term--Probably somewhere near K.L. as it'll be done in one day,looking at Kuala Selangor to see the shining creature(insert the name).So,nominees needed,probably 3 others to join me in this nice yet environmental close-up trip.

2.A new gadget to behold--Speaking of which,it's been quite a while I have no new gadgets to add in to my current collection.As a result,I'm up now,hunting for a new one to my family.Choices??Either N97,Xpertia X1,Xpertia X2,iPhone 3gs 16 gigs,iPod Touch 64gigs,Dell 10v Netbook.Gosh~~Help!!

3.A MountainBike Competition--Held by Malaccans,so might as well support and have fun lo.

As till the end of October,here are the 3 most important plans I need to get it done.Wish me luck eh.

Recent Me.

Yeah,I know.I haven't been putting pieces of me to this little space of mine for ages hence here I am.Reasons for that is I haven't find myself a peace in my mind to do so as my activities are packed(Yes,it sounds like I'm so happening..xD)from mid August till now.Having this particular post posted,something has changed,all for good I hope as I've made some crazy decisions that some of you might not even believe what you're seeing,but heck,you see what you see.

Here's the recap of my 'DID' in the past month.

Zoo trip on 18th August with high school friends.

Hot,hot,hot and hot.Animals are lazy as well on this account--sleeping.We paid rm7 to see them sleep,nice!!Anyway,it was a good outing as I guess most of us haven't been visiting the Zoo for ages.

Birthday,Farewell.

Time zooms and there goes on some particular 24th day of August,few of friends decided to surprise a friend on her birthday,and she felt surprised,i guess!!!And she really bakes nice cakes.

Farewell,this is the last one in the year,finally!!(Oops,I said it)Haha.Some 20+ homosapiens from SMAI 06-08 attended and it was nice,especially the Karaoke part of it,God knows why.

Church Camp.

Right,this is my 1st church camp,and I never regret joining it.Loads of things to share and learn about and I'm one step closer,hopefully!!Having it placed in a wonderful place,I've somehow managed to tan myself to a darker person!!

Kuala Lumpur 2D-1N Trip.

5 of us,Me,Jay,Pok,Sarah and Esther went for this adventure,and it was a great one!!

Sunway Lagoon--Wet and Dry Park.Loads of breakthrough happened there and it was actually fun paying money to scare ourselves.And again,I got myself tanned darker again and I'm looking like a darker race of peeps already.

SkyTrex--Best activities we did!!Never thought that climbing trees and handing over our life to a little harness could bring us so many fun!!Flying fox-es,Obstacles crossings.NICE!!Again,paying money to get us frightened was fun!!

The start--Climb 4 storey high of ladder.Outcome??TIRING!!

Ain't it nice??

5 of Us!!

Next up,

1st Orientation,1st College class,2nd College Class.

SEGi,inputs inputs inputs....

On the very first day,I felt disappointed,with the orientation they threw for us,the school's admin. systems and stuffs like the compound,the facilities of the school.Hopes for me to study there went berserk-ly low,as it was under my expectation by Malaysia to USA far!!Then,I figured things might change the next day and...Yeah,at least it changed a little bit.Lecturers are good but still I'd expect it to be better,but just that I don't have faith having myself going head first with the school.

Then,wild thought about the course hit me straight in my head that gave me a hint that maybe the course and school don't really suits me well.And,discussions later,dropping out of the school is a must,and course to attend was still unsure.From Music to Laws,MBA to Arts later,found myself one particular interest--Travelling around the world,working with other nations.That,*ehem*leads to Logistic Managements.Having known that 3 years of my future will be dumped into this particular studies,I freaked out--Asking pros. around this field,cousins,parents and so on.Outcome--This is a great field for me and it meets my criteria what I want to do above,that means that I'd be fine taking up this course and having myself surviving from starvation in the next 2 or maybe 30 years.

What the heck!!I decided to call the shots and there I went--UCSI University,having hopes that I could enroll immediately and start the course,and some time later,I actually did it!!

NOW,I'M OFFICIALLY A UCSI UNIVERSITY LOGISTIC MANAGEMENT COURSEDUDE!!

Yeah,that's all for my studies stuff.

K.L Life,5 days in total.

I must thank my all time buddy,HuanWei for his generosity to let me stay at his place for the 4 nights.Having that said,also I must add I somehow twisted his life in a sense that keeping him awake until 2a.m..Reasons?We have figured out that we haven't been speaking for quite a long time,that we can't find ourselves shut up,even it has wayyy passed bedtime.

"不可以了,不要讲了,明天还要早起!!"This,has been something that we've said for like a trillion times,and after each and everytime we said it,we never failed to continue our conversation.Haha,thank god I still have my best friend with me all time.

p.s:HuanWei,don't cry when you see this,I know you will..xD

Living in K.L is a pain in the arse as everytime you will need to face the traffic congestion no matter what time it is.Imagine this,a short stretch of Federal Highway about 5 km took you 1 hour to go through it.Yes,I'm afraid to think about peoples with the need to answer nature's call stucked in the jams.How is he going to 'release'?Haha.

Over the pass 5 days in K.L,I've been playing around,from 1Utama,Ikea,The Curve,Sunway to Pavilion.End product,Big holes in my pocket and big bloated stomach.Hags and Daz,TGIF,Fish n Co,I have it all!!NICE!!But hopefully this is it,no more playing,toying around after I settle down.

That's about it,my life over the past month.
