Farewell to year 2005!!

this might be the very last post for the year 2005...well...another year ends..a new year on the trail to take over...

a lot had happened in a year..ups and downs...sad and happy...well..thats life..there are no years that had happiness all along...no year that had only all the downs....
for me ...year 2005 had been ups and downs for me ....but one thing for sure...they are all the past..

LET THE BYGONE BE BYGONE!!
so....let the ups be the guide and motivator..while the downs be the the "teachers" for the coming year of rise...
what happened for the year had been history..let them be stored in the history "folder"....the folder that can be only opened as a reference...

So to all my friends let year 2005 be part of your memories...happy or unhappy..it were already past..2005 will since be vanquish forever...bury down all the ups and downs we had...
While celebrating to usher year 2006...take some time off...to think back how the year 2005 had been....than...once the clock struck 12:00:61(remember the new year will be delay by a second)...it was another ONE NEW YEAR......ANOTHER NEW BEGINNING...A NEW START...AND OF COURSE A NEW ME....

So FAREWELL YEAR 2005......................

A New Sem,A New Beginning,A Bad Start!!

haih..i m back..since on the demand of the V who had supporting this blog much..so i try to update my blog as much as possible..but lately..really lost my "ilham" to write(sorry lar ye un tuk Vincent)...hahahha...not because of my gf who cant spare me 10 minutes to write..just really i lost my inspiration to write...

So..on this early New Year Eve..i spend some time before getting my last sleep of the year 2005 to update my blog...well..while i m writing..i just back from my friend's birthday party..hahaha..i think he is the youngest among my friends..so HAPPY BIRTHDAY to him..

Well..i just start my sem for 2 weeks....of course a new sem means another new beginning..but than..the beginning of the new sem had been my worst so far...why not??getting the results that u did not want...thats can be consider the worst way to start a new sem...

And when i breathe a new life to a new beginning...than worse came along....
On the first of registration...on the way with my motor to school..a big letdown..my bike run out of control...whoa!..that made me got to push the motor 500 m all the way to the petrol station!

Than on the first day too...not enuff of that...the bike like wanna tease me...it "merajuk"..the tire puncture...haih....thn got to get all the trouble to replace the puncture tyre..really bad luck!!

As chinese proverb said..when u r in bad luck...the worse will always follow..(Yan Sui Hei Lei You Lou)...in my second day...the motor make fun of me..sumhow..it like a wild horse..ran wild..and make me fall...what a bad accident....that make me another RM35 poorer just to replace the broken front cover...one word...BAD...

And on the same day..i got sick..with fever...haih..a really down moment for me...i think thats the worst moment i had all along year 2005.....realy realy sueh arr.....

What i can do?.....Well i just can hope the dark moment will pass through...for i believe..THERES ALWAYS A DARKEST TIME BEFORE EVERY SUN RISE! ...i can treat all the "bad" moments i had as the darkest time..before the sun rise again!!

My New sem....should be quite a packing one with 3 program major...JAVA programming...Digital Principle...Computer Diagnosis..alongside with the school major...Numerical Methods and Engineering Statistic...with also my last grade of Japanese Language.....so this is the courses that will make the sun rise again....and for sure i will makesure the sun will rise again to shine the darkest of the life!!!

Tribute to Keano

this post is dedicated to my ex-captain of my favaurite football club..Manchester United..Roy Keane....it was such a shock to know that Keane being sack from Man U..really a shock...what a suprise that d 2nd important after fergie..was sacked...he had been helping Man Utd to build all the sucess around in Man Utd glory days...but instead..he get sacked...what the !@%^....

Disappointment!!

haih..really dissappointed with the discrete electronic test on friday..DE1..which one of my major courses for the Com Eng..but than it really sucks man...i had try all my best..preparing for the test for almost one whole week..burn the midnite oil...but than..go to the test..just sit down there and really struggling for the next 2 hours..what a big disappointment..so who's fault?issit really my fault?...but i had try anything..the book of Microelectronic Circuit by Kendra&Smith i had been go thru so many times..but than.still the same..if its my fault..than it must be my brain that is not genius enuff...thts for sure..

well..from my failure to do the test well...i can think of sum reasons why..
of course my lecturer is not that good enuff..the way he teach..haih..dunno how to comment...mostly like theoretically..not to the approach of problem solving..he shld teach us more on problem solving..like what Dr Ali teach us..than that would be a lot better..
and than the book of Microelectronic Circuit books..haih..all about explanation..than the eg given..so simple..really beh pakai one..sumore said that book is what all the EE student must have...

and to the good news..is that the test(which considered to be the 2nd mid term.)consist of either20 % or 10% frm the final...)...that means to score this i had to do my lab report,tutorial,asgnmnt properly..haih..no choice..looks like i had to double my work to enable me to secure some pride in this course..DISCRETE ELECTRONIC!!

A Busy Month!!

its almost a month now..since my last post here...on the date when i made my "important decision"..eversince...er...nothing much..

had been go through many activities for past a month....well...for the big event...?..what i post here is just some important activities...

well..the first...should be the convocation in UMS..this was the first time i m attending the convocation...in UMS of course..attending my cousin's one...well..just like actually just like normal convocation...c ppl go up the stage..in the proud "jubah"...with a "square" hat...and receiving the scroll from the pro Chancelor of UMS..which happen to be Tan Sri Yeoh Tiong Lay..one of the wealthiest man in Malaysia...

seeing ppl went up the stage..being watched by respective parents..it was indeed a very proud moment of a lifetime..and I start wondering when can I have the chance to to be going up on stage like all my seniors do....HOW I WISH I CAN GRADUATE FASTER TO GET HOLD OF THE SCROLL....and of course..i know that i have another 2 and half years..before i can do so..so i just hope that i can went thru this 2 and half years safely without much trouble..

The Sandakan Trip
And during the sem break..I gone to Sandakan..2nd largest city in Sabah...also known as little Hong Kong...since there are many Cantonese speaking Chinese there...
The way to Sandakan not easy...since not so afford to go by plane..so we went by bus...not like in West Malaysia...with VIP busses and long straight highway..the bus here is just normal bus..4 seats in a row..but what torture much is that the road to Sandakan is just winding....wow..its just torturing...a terrific 6 hours journey from KK..and when get down from the bus..i feel like my bone are "loosing" up...hahahh....

We had a 3days 2nite trip there..staying at my frends house...so whats interesting there...of course Orang Utan Rehabiliation Center of Sepilok...the main attraction...
of course..we visited many places tooo...Crocodile Farm..Batu Sapi...(a huge rock with theree legs)...Bukit Bendera...a temple(dunno how to say the name in English)..which located at the top of a hill...
Beseides that..the food there is much more nicer than the KK ones..really nice..especially the "pei tan" dumpling at Sim Sim...untill i order another 30 pieces back to KK...
WE also had our seafood feast in Sandakan...
Well..overall..its a nice trip..thought Sandakan is a small town...but than it still have its very unique places of interest!!.a recomended place for me to have a visit! !....

(will be posting alongside with pic)....

A Decision!A Day to remember!

finally, i had made my decision!...its not an "anxious" decision..but a decision after a well deep thought.....true or false.....its a matter of time...but deep in my heart..i hope that the decision i made will not be a failure one!!...

A Deep Thought!!

although alomost 2 months from the journey to the mt kinabalu..but the memory is still very fresh in my memory..just a deep thought frm me throughout the journey!

before climbing up the mt kinabalu..all in my mind that it was aneasy job...but down from the trip..it was no easy enough..physically fit will make the journey easy!..but frm my point of view..psychology fit is more important!!..honestly..my physicallyis not very fit..hahahah...compared to other friends..but its the "inner" power to push me towards the peak!..the r sumtimes during the journey when "give up" plays in my mind...but..thewords "keep going" overcome it!thats the way that i reached the peak!..tired and exhasution towards the peak..all I can depends is my will power!..my will power did overcome the physically unfit of meto keep going...well there is meaning beside all these words!what i trying to say is that...no matter how "physically" weak u r..if u have a strong "physcology"..u will get all ur wish done!!..whats more important lies in the inner yours..not outer..the "inner"power is always greater than the "outer" one..a great "outer" powerwill be useless if there is no inner power..i hope those who reads thisunderstand what i m trying to say...so its time for u all to explorethe "inner" power..dun let lost ur inner power!

the path to the peak is not easy!!indeed it was hard!..but once I reachedthe peak and come down from it..i think again!..it was really hardbut still it was still sweet indeed!..think!all the hardworks thatu done is finally paid..the path to the kinabalu is just like the path of ones's life!..ups and downs!but when u finally reach the targeted destination..all in ur heart is a very very comfortable feeling!...so..dun hesitate to live on...live on till the very final moment!

have u all ever walk in the dark alone!as i mentioned in the postearlier..its not a very good feeling..while i was walking alone inthe dark..i keep looking uphill and downhill..looking for frends..and while in the dark..u saw a light shining on you from up..tellingu that "walk faster!the peak is almots there"...its a trully nice moments..although the peak is still a long way to go...we cant live in this world all on our own...we need frends to guide us through the the dark moment...the journey to the top had make me treasured more about friendship...SO I TAKE A CHANCE HERE TO SAY SORRY TO ALL MY FRENDS IF I HADDO ANYTHING THAT HURT...but to all my frends..i trully treasured the friendship band around me!!....FRENZ FOREVER...

thats the important deep thought from my jurney to kinabalu...althought i did said.."paying money to suffer"...but all the while..it was the best adventure and "vacation" i ever hadfor the time being!!

The Final Destination

a very very sorry to u all after such a long break!!

just to complete the report to the mount kinabalu!
frm laban rata ...we prepared ourselves at around 2.00am...the weatheris "extremely" cold...at least the coldest tht i ever experience!!..frm what i heard..should be around 5C...dunno whether its true or not..on the clothing that i wear..from the most inner..1 sleeveless tight,1 t-shirt..1 long sleeve..1 thin sweater..1 thick sweater..and finally a windbreaker....after all the hot drinks and preparation...with all the torch lights,camera...our guide finally arrived..and we start our final part ofthe journey..JOURNEY TO THE PEAK....

at the first part of the journey..its all about climbing up staircasesin the dark..and they r too many ppl...and we r like queeing up all along the staircases..its a slow moving one..thus not that tired..but than i did not have a torchlight in hand..thus i had to dependson my frend in front..ntthing much this part...but i was sweating inthe cold....its ok..mayb because of the much "exercise" frm the body!

as it goes further..the journey becomes tougher!..and finally there is no more staircases..all left is rock..steep rock..and we had to climb using rope...the most challenging part comes to life!..holding on to the rope.we r to climb up the steep rock..like in the Cliffhanger movie..wats more challenging is that we had to climb in the dark...depending on my frends light,,what i can see is only a white rope by the side..we were to follow the rope..and at one time..my !@#$ing shoe slip..and i was like hanging in the middle of the cliff..luckily my frend was at behind to hold me...and my shoesdid not fall down the cliff...sigh....
and the journey continues on ..getting tired...exhaustion..but stillneed to go on...from the group of 10..we were split in 2 groups..of cos those with good stamina are in front..for me ..hahhahh..stillok..sumtimes front..sumtimes back..and at one time..i was walking alone...cant see the frends at the back and front..sigh...
as approaching the top..the wind were blowing very very fast...and the situation is even worse when my snow cap went missing..and i had to walk with my head covered with cap from my sweater!..andthe weather,,really cold..no more sweating...all i can feel is damm cold wind blowing!

at one time when i raise my head up to look far far away..i thought i was almost there since i oledy past the 8.5km signboard..i were excitedbut my excited is shortlived one!...the guide that pass thru me said there will be around 45mins to reach the peak!!WTF!!..what a down feeling..but the guide is really good..he ask me to keep going...and of course..what in my mind is to keep going..and that time..psychology power is stronger than physically...what i keep in my mind is that i mmust reach the peak NO MATTER WHAT!..and..thus i keep going....and start from there,,most of the time i was climbing all alone!!and towards the final end...the situation getting worse..wind blowingvery fast..and i was breathing "water"...the air that i breathe outwere condensed into water..and i ahd to breathe in water..reallybad!!..but no mind..i keep on walking!

yeah!!..i finally see the path to the peak!!and my fast going frendwere oledy there!!...and my others frend was below following up..with two tired feet!..i climb up towards the highest peak in South East Asia...and finally i was there!!!HURRAY!!...bt disppointmentis that it was too misty!!the peak is surrounded by mist!!...we had few pictures taken there!the proud was filling all the cornerof my heart and brain!...we cant spend much time on the peak as we had to give way to other climbers to take picture at the signboard(as u all can c in the pic)...and after a around 15 mins hanging to the peak...we climb down the peak..

Though a short 15 mins...but the 15 mins is really a trully memorable moment in my life!!..

The Cold Shaking Nite!!

err...where do i stop??nvm..i start with the nite there...a coldest nite that i ever thru in my lifetime...at Laban Rata..Gunting Lagadan...

5 July 2005...in between 6pm++ to 2am...
i dunno what is the temperature..but i can guess its roughly arounf 3-5C that nite..really cold..after a hot bath..at around 6pm++..i went straight to bed..not really can sleep...just wanna give my leg a good rest...but...still manage to take a sleep..maybe because too tired..at first just sleep in a sweater and long pants...but than i woke up at around 10pm...head straight to the toilet..guess...i was "dancing" in the toilet...get what i mean?..my whole body was shaking...the most terrible "shake" ever in my life...i hurried back to my room after my "business"...the "cold" than attack me..really "beh" tahan...i put on more shirts and wear stocking..some of my friends also awake by the "cold"...after putting on more clothes..we had a hot cup of Maggi mee...chatting under the coldest nite we ever had..while chatting..saw those mat salleh..they can just come out with just a t-shirt....wow..if for us..we sure will be freeze to death..

after the hot Maggi....we went back to our sleep...since we need enuff rest to get us to the peak...
than we soon go back zzzzzzzz.....but every time i change the sleeping position...i can feel that bone is shaking....really the coldest nite in my life....

5 JULY 2005..we get up as early as 4.30am to get ready for out trip..to climb Mt Kinabalu..the van is scheduled to fetch us at 6.30am..we do out finalchecking on the things needed for the trip..had a early breakfast atthe mamak store nearby..becos we had to fill up our stomach..orelse..will struggling during the climb..among who join the trip...Robin..kien Fong..Foo.Yew Ghee..anf others.final check up before starting the trip...water..lots of chocolate(resources for energy)..biscuits..first aid kits..warm clothes..the van arrive in time to fetch us to

Kinabalu Park..the place where we start to conquer Mt Kinabalu...
after all the procedure at the office of Kinabalu Park..we were sendby van to the Timpohon Gate..the starting point of the trail to Mt kinabalu..after much explanation from our guide..we start off our journey..

we left Timpohon gate roughly at around 10am++...the weather is in goodcondition..we are scheduled to reach the rest house at Laban Rata..inabout after 5-6hours climb..and the length is about 7.7km..

the first km is nothing much..with trees all around..with the trail isnot that steep..much normal staircase..just climbing up staircases..but..that is not that easy as we proceed further...as further as we went..the trail conditions become worst..and became more difficultto climb..and as we go further..we became more tired and exhausted.no more staircases..all is about rock staircases(check out the pic soon)..really hard to climb..we had to stop after every 1 km at the "pondok"which was build at every km..as we climb higher...the journey become more challenging...and at onepoint..we had to climb at about 80 degrees up...can u imagine how steep it is..the climb at the second half of the journey is reallyhard(maybe because I din train much)..sumtimes we had to stop only after a few steps of climbing..at that point..I was thinking...why i had to torture myself..but I had to continue climbing no matter what...thats what I tell myself..we can feel the thin cool air as we climb higher and higher..the typesof plants also changed...along the way..we met up many other foreign tourist who went up climbingKinabalu..and they are really friendly...we just exchanging "hie" and "bye" as we pass by each other...besides..we also saw something really amazzing..its the local people there...can u imagine they just carry from 30-50 kg burden on their back..and they just climb up the hill like they had nothing on..and even their speed of climbing is even faster than us...wow..i really salute them..its really amazing..the final km before reaching the rest house was a torturing one...at that point..we r really exhausted..as losing energy..and we kept askingeach other when to reach it..its a really frustating feeling..finally we reach a restaurant..at Laban Rata..the only restaurant..aftera tiring climb..we finally reach laban Rata..a stoppoint..before continue climbing up to the peak..we had pur luunch and dinner there..a plate of fried rice that cost RM11..really expensive..even thanany well known hotel fried rice..no choice..still have to eat.we reach Laban Rata at about 5pm++..after a really tiring climb..after our meal...we continue to the resthouse...and WTF...why the resthouse is still so far away..we just keep cursing..for another short climb..actually its just roughly about 500m..but when ur legs are really tiring and feel heavy even to move a step,u will feel that 500m climb like a 500km walk..hahahaha...once we reach the resthouse...in no time ..we laid at our bed....zzzzz time....

The Good Hard Days!!

had been a busy day yesterday..accompany my younger cousin to Uniten..this recall me the memories that deep inside my brain..I had been sending almost everyone in my family to their respectiveUni,,start when I was small that time..."sending" my oldest broto UPM,,than my second bro to Uniten..my the other 2 cousin to TARC..and now..this should be the final time..my younger cousin to Uniten..(before sending my own child)..

Well.. the feeling of sending someone to uni at the different stage of life is totally different..when I was small..sending my 2 bros to uni..the feeling..is some kind like excitement in my head.But till yesterday..seeing my younger cousin enter uni..is like nothing much special to me..just normal..totally different compared when I was small...maybe this is the effect of growing older and had been absorbed more experience..

while watching my younger cousin go thru all his registration staff..recall me back to my first day in Uni..well..compared to all the studentsthere..they are a lot luckier..you can see whole family accompany a student to go thru all his/her registation process..they had their parents by their side accompany them to another stage of life..but in my case..with some of my friends..I travel to a whole new world..far from home..to my new stage of life..without being accompany by anyone..yes.there was companion..my newly make friendsthere..no one else...While in younger days..I always hope that my parents can see me walk inthe uni entrance..just like what happen to my 2 bro..but to me..only the God see me walk in the uni entrance..

My younger cousin is indeed lucky..he had his parents and even my parents..and me and my bro to send him to uni..He had all the guidance needed...while to me..I act on my ownself...no guidance given..fully on myself.While he had people to carry all his stuff to the hostel..I had to carry my own heavy stuff on myself..with no help at all..

Well,,those were my hard days..but I m glad its over..and I m making it good in my new place..and expecting more in future..I m not expressing my jealousy or what...just recalling back to my first day in uni..very different indeed..but than I know my experiencewill be paid back..maybe not now..but in future..I know those hard days will bring the best out of me..I m confident bout these.

And to my younger cousin..all the best for his uni life!

My Condolence to a Special Doc

this post was specially to express my sadness and my condolence tomy family doc..who had lost his wife who suffered from some kind of"mental stress"..that led her to commit suicide..a very sad way to lost someone beloved.

the incident happened on friday,,and was published on Sin Chew Jit Pohon saturday..I was told by my mom about the story..but since it didnot publish the name..and the pic was quite blurr..I not really recognise the doc face..but then my mom said the woman pic seem familiar to her..even ask me if the man in the pic looks like my family doc..

Until this nite..my grandma called..and she said about the incident..(the doc is also her regular doc)..only we know bout the sad news..

I was trully saddened by the news...almost cant believe a doc's wifecan die from commit suicide...Why not?..this doc(in respect..I will not publish his name)..is veryspecial to me..in fact to our family..our relationship is just notbetween doc and patient..in fact,,we are like friends..i can still remember,,that he want us(me and my bros) to call him uncle..instead of calling him doctor...he had been my doc since i was bornthis doctor is a very kind hearted one..the most kind of any doc I find so far..he will treat his patients free of charge..if he foundout that the patient is poor..well..i see this with my own eye..if you ask who inspire me for the childhood dream to become a doctor.it was this special doctor..(my ambition is 2 become a doc..but i failed..thus i can only succeed my second ambition)..who inspire me much..no doubt about that..i can still remember what he said when i told him someday i would like t0 become a doc when i was small..he said"Study medicine is nothard...only requires hardowork"..

Besides..he always gave me sweet when he treat me(even i was just to accompany)..he was also the only doc that i would allow to jab on me..even till now..he was also the only doc that i will not havethe scare feeling when being reated.

Where else can u find a doc that is so close and friendly and caring like this..My very recent visit to him...thats on last month and last monday..we were chatting..just like a very best friend..he was asking my life in the uni..how my life in Sabah going on..asking about my bro.on their job...oledy married or not..

How can I imagine this kind of incident happened on this "very special"doc..in between..he was truly a good husband..when holiday comes..he will go out on trip..we never knows why..and we onlyknow it by today....to accompany his wife who suffers from some"mental stress"..

On my opinion..a kind hearted doc like him..should not lost hisbeloved in such a sad way..trully should not..Why he was being treatedso unfairly!!!..

Love and death is part of the live..I..here could only express my sadness and my condolence..nothing much that I can do..

Those who read this..always appreciate your very special one..notonly ur spouse..but ur parents,,ur siblings...any other else..and too..dont get stress on ur head..work ur stress out of you..as stress can be a killer too,..like this case

TO MY SPECIAL DOC...MY CONDOLENCE TO THE LOST OF UR WIFE..WE MOURN ON UR WIFE'S DEATH..

Ok..all for now...if posible lets had another outing before I going back!!!

Special family!!

nothing much doing this week..just wondering in house since coming backfrom seremban on last monday..

LAST MONDAY...13 JUNE 2004....going back to Mantin..a small place km from Seremban..well to "celebrate"(any other correct verb?) my "aunty grandmother"(err..dunno how to say in English..mymother's father's brother's wife..hahah) death annivesary..its almost been my mom routine every year to attend the "function"and also almost been my mine routine too..actually nothing much to do there..just like a family get-together..and sit down having dinner together...but than..it is really "meriah" there..with the aunty uncleschit chating...the boys and gurls running here and there..creatingenuff noises...and I m the only 20 something boy there!!Some would imagine..how a 20 sumthing young guy can mix around..young onesae too young..old ones are too old..well.it doesnt matter..my aunties uncles had know me since i was very small..and litle boyslittle gurls..had always want me to play with them..well though..not at the same frequency..but than..it doesnt really matter..

What I really make me admire them is that they can sit together and had a fun time together among family member....well,,instead a very unique one...far from the normal one we had in big city..though nothingspecial bout the death annivesary..thay make this date for a get-together..no matter they are busy or watever..some is running their own shops..but than on this particular day,,they just close the shop just to attendthis get together..well..my aunties uncles may not be very well educated..but than..that special bonds between them really making me fascinating..thats why I also never miss this outing every year(I did miss..last year.I in UMS)
this kind of family institution..in my opinion..hardly can b found in big city..well..big city people mainly materialistic and more realistic..but than..they cant mantain this "special kind" of relationship between relatives and siblings..big city people may be well educated..but still..they cant really develop the special bond between family members and relatives..not like those I see in my aunties and uncles..Their sibling relations..are indeed a very special one I see so far,,

What a busy week!!

this will be the first posting from KL..this few days had been the busyday..while posting this..just back frm swimming..ahhaha..at least i knoa little bit how to swim..but than..only can float on water for few seconds..how embrassing..

this morning had gone back to my hometown..Seremban..well a last minute decission..since no activity going on..back to Seremban just to visit my grandma..besides..had my favaurite bowl of Hakka mee..well.this wholeweeks..oledy had ate quite lots of food..dunno how much weight i will gain.haih..wat to do..i hold the principle of LiVE TO EAT.

while then..last nite i had my grilled lamb chop at kaki corner..well it was a U6Sc1 alumni gathering..among those who go..song feng,chee hoe,tony,chuan soon,lay koon,peitzu,huey teen,xin yee,hew kuan,swee yin,mun choon,wai keong,seng hai,wei wah,swee chuen,mei warr(ALIEN)..err..any other imiss out??..at first "we" thought that the gathering will be like somekind of boring..bcos after almost 1 year never met..we might feel "alienated"..but than..we had laughter like as usual..meeting old friends,had laughter..exchanging uni experiences..well..really nice.,though stillsome other had missed out the gathering..it pays for me to attend the gathering after taking much trouble to travel from Bdr Baru Bangi(BBB) toKL..thanks a lot to my buddy Chee Hoe who willingly to pick me up..also to Vincent to..who accompany me till late at nite to wait for my bro to pick me up..

Really had a feel good time along this week...but good time will endsas the time goes by..

So..a word of advice..appreciate ur valuable golden time...

Last Day in Penang

This is my last post from Penang..before going back home at 3.30pm...by the time writing..just back from Penang Hill..or known as Bukit Bendera..our final destination...well..we went up there quite early..in order to avoid "people jam"..or long queue at the railway station..this is my first time to Penang Hill..
Actually..there are many way to go u the hill..one may hike up the hill..or by other means..walk up the hill..but it will took roughly 2 hours..hahah..nevermind..we would rather take the train up..as the train is part of the historical item...
Up at the hill..I m enjoying the bird's eye view of Georgetown..air there..considered cool compared to the town..but than..not as cool as at the foot of mount kinabalu...
Not much there..we only had around 1 hour walk round the Penang Hill...
Than back to Georgetown ..of course to buy our favaurite "tau sar pneah"..a famaouse food from penang too...
And now..its time to pack up before going back home.....so bye bye to Penang...

***will be putting up some pics at soon...check it out..

Blooming flowers

Flowers blooming,
Rains dropping,
Birds chirping,
Light up the tranquil sky,
Light up my romance love,
Those flowers may not roses,
Those raindrops may not mythical,
Those birds may not sing love,
But those are my love to you.

Ideas of the day:Microsoft vs Asam Laksa..Small Business,Big Money!

This ideas struck my brain when I actually sat down to have my bowl of asam laksa at Air Hitam in Penang..well..any Penangites will know this famous food...well not actually Penangites..is actually almost any Malaysian Chinese..will know..

Well..you can hardly find any tables easily to have ur bowl of asam laksa..worst still..u have to stand and book ur place..untill the customer of the table that u book fjnish eating..
And u can c the boss never stop working with his agile hands to cook bowls of nice asam laksa..bowls by bowls..

Just to share with u all..this asam laksa seller actually making big money...lets c ..it is sell at RM2.20 a bowl..roughly a day..it can sell ..leta say 100 bowls(it actually can sell more than that during holiday season)...that means..roughly one day it can make around RM220...(lets take RM200..easier to count)..one month..it sell 30 days..thats mean one month the seller actually earns around RM6000++(this should be the minimun that the seller can earn)..imagine..how long does it take a university graduate to earn RM6000 a month..??Well...this asam seller actually can make up to RM10000+++ a month...

Than most interesting..lets compare the asam laksa seller with the Chairman of Microsoft...of course..in terms of profits by Bill Gates is many times the bigger amount than the asam laksa seller...but..think ratinonalely..while Bill Gates have to struggle every day fighting piracy...fighting to get rid of software..always has in mind what is the next move to upgrade the Windows service..
But..what is the asam laksa seller had in mind..simple..just cook the best asam laksa for his customer..
While everynite Bill Gates cant sleep soundly..just with all the Microsoft stuff in mind..this asam laksa seller can sleep soundly after tired working the whole day..only to wake up the next morning to start another routine daily life....and yet..he is making big profit with his soundly sleep everynite..only for Bill always had a "worry" sleep...
While Bill have to go round the world to woo his customer to buy his product..to fight piracy..to stop free-ware...this asam laksa seller did nothing..instead his customer was to come by themselves..patiently wait for bowls of asam laksa...interesting issnt it??
While copy of pirated Windows can be easily get...which makes the Microsoft drops..there are no pirated asam laksa anywhere..only one and only of its kind in Penang..and this make no worry in the asam laksa seller...

When we think rationally..this asam laksa seller had indeed..very much more succesful...doesnt he..so to be succesful..need not to be a company CEO.indeed..a highly demand hawker can do...
So.what u all think??

Durian Fest!!!

ohhh!!!i m damm full now..just finish my durian dinner..now is durian season in penang..thats why we had durian for dinner!!incredible hah!!hahahah...well..walk along Air Hitam..a place where the ever famous Kek Lok Si temple was situated..u can saw many ppl either squating choosing durians...the smell..wow..dunno how to describe it!Thus we picked up a few durians as our dinner..ahahahaha...and what..our car were filled with the durian smell..
well actually having durian as dinner..can be quite full..since before that,, we had bowls of the famous penang asam laksa..a must eat food when come to penang...but,,if u ask me by the time i m writing this wether i still want to have another bowl..i will say no..coz really full now..hahaha...

3rd daya in Penang nothing much..thought wanna go Bkt Bendera..though i had many times came to penang..but never been to bkt bendera b4..but than..when we reach there..the indian parking attendant who can speak a few word in hokkien(amazing hah!!)..tell us that we will had to wait another 2 hours b4 we actually can board the cable...he said that there was lots of ppl..so..we had to cancel our plan..that hokkien speaking indian parking attendant was so kind to tell us that..so that we can save our parking fee..tha chnage our destination..thought wanna go to Kek Lok Si temple..a very beautiful temple..i had been here..but than..i never been to the Goddes Kuan Yin bronzr statue..which was newly built..and another bad day..when we climb up to kek lok si..only to find out that the temple is closed..so disappointed..
At the end..end up buying durians for dinner..hahahahah....mayb..someone out there can try this out..hahahh...
