this is so not me...

Its 5.55 a.m. in the morning ... and what am i doing here? Without saying, i m wide awake and this is so not me, woke up at 4 something just now and just couldnt bring my self to dreamland anymore. Its understandable if its during exam period, but now i m having holidays, i should be sleeping like a PIG!!ok la , literally i mean.

nvm, i shall go to tanjung and see the beautiful sunrise in about an hour time ..

Since there is no 1 for me to talk to as such a weird n sleepy time, i shall talk to my blog, and in the end others will get to see it ..:)

Why waking up so early in the morning you may ask. Well, besides exams stress, there are still some other responsibilities for me to hold it on my shoulder. In this context, i'm not talking about my relationship, but rather my other commitments in club activities. I'm really stressed and still stressing about it. Lots of planning to be done, fear of making mistakes, the fear of not being able to perform up to others expectation, fear of having to attend many activities. No doubt, it helps me to fill up my free time more usefully but i'm the kind of person which at times are so comfortable with my current position and situation that i dont really like to expect and accept new challenges in my life..

i know this is part and parcel of life, everyone will need to go through it. I just want to lead a normal life and be a normal and average student in my college. I am not the kind of person which enjoys other ppl's attention ( at times ), because with that, there is a price to pay for it. Sometimes the inner me says that i shouldnt, i should back out, push the responsiblity to others and i'll leave and be happy to be a normal member.This is a not a responsible way to do things, i know i know and i know. Why is this giving me so many sleepless nights? Since last year till now , countless days of sleepless nights, i kid you not.. This is so not me again.

My intermediate LLB results are also one of my main concern now. Finger crossed and still crossing that everything will be well. :)

Met up with henry and jason last night just to chill and kill my boredom. We are the only three muarians that is currently studying at ATC, ok at least as far as i know la . Get to know quite a lot about their intakes and even juicy stories out of their intakes.. As compared to our intake, theirs can be considered as very happening also. Organising trips to pulau redang and other places. They seems to be so relax..... coming back to muar everyweek!!... This is really puzzles me .. How do they manage to do that?.. :) ....



My life in muar now is like so monotonious, nothing really excited or thrilling to talk and blog about, but yeah..i should enjoy this holiday to the fullest!As the previous post suggest, i m working as a tuition centre in muar. Well, as least it kills off some of my boredom..

how so?

Marking their homework can be some what entertaining at times . Grammer mistakes, spelling mistakes which sometimes turn out to be a laughing thing for us. Well, i am currently teaching standard 3 and standard 4 students...

Different children have different personalities, attitudes towards their work, and behavior. Some will drive me crazy to the very edge of the wall, and some makes me even want to impart more knowledge to them.

the standard 3 class is some what of a problem for me .. Their behaviour is sooooooo... hmm words cant really describe it .. nuisance... utter nuisance.. this is what i can say. ... creating a whole lot of nuisance for me. Imagine a student, she can make noise from the very beginning of the class till the very end of the class...

There is no problem for me to continue with my lesson if i want, its just that i am afraid that others will be affected and i will not be acting fair to those who really want to learn...

I can think of a realistic example which illustrates how bad the class it ...

For almost the same syllabus and amount of materials to teach both the standard 3 and 4 class....

i need only 1 hour and 15 minutes to teach the standard 4 students, and everything is like in detail
But for the standard 3 class,

i will need the whole 2 hours for me to finish up my syllabus. Adding to that, sometimes it is not in detail but rather i would need rush through due to the time constraint.

Am i like those standard 3 students when i m at their age? .. this is something for me to ponder on ... :)



Hmm its 6.46 a.m. now ! time to go to tanjung!!..

cherish while we still can ..........

For the past few days and perhaps weeks, i've been hearing numerous ppl passing away mostly because of sickness and it is shocking to know that they are not that old in age. It seems to be so scary hearing ppl contracting virus infection and die just like that because of it.

Death, is not at all desirable for everyone i would say. It can happen anytime, anywhere and at any moment, without warning... What if we will be gone tmr or perhaps just a few moments after this.. are we prepared to say that we have fought a good fight and have finish the task n race that God had place for us?

cherishing one another is the key. cHerish every moment that we have with our love ones for sometimes there may not be any second time anymore...

New discovery of a new and healthy hobby..

Prawn fishing is always a no-no for me since i m least interested in it, but since yesterday, i think i should think twice.. Prawn fishing can be fun and interesting, and of course, requires patience, some luck and skills.

Had a chance to visit the fishing centre yesterday night after supper, and to my amazement, all the shops indulging in that industry is filled with lots and lots of people. Hope it will not be what people always term it as "new broom sweeps clean"...

It cost Rm15 per hour. By hook or by crook catching is not allowed, only proper fishing rod can be used. I would say that this is a much more healthier hobby as compared to going for clubbings and stuff like that..




2 hours for four big prawns were what we got for that night. Well, its the experience that matters and not the amount of it since its the first time.


First step, prepare the bait with whatever insects that best attract the big prawns


How patient someone can be, can be seen clearly on the face..


This is the reward for which the price of patience is paid.


never expected that for the last few minutes or so, i manage to catch 1 too! It is to my utter amazement and suprise. This time is purely because of luck and not skills and patience!! :)

all set to be a tuition teacher...


Instead of staying at home and do nothing except playing with my gadgets, i decided to go for an interview to be an english tuition teacher. Thanks to Manfred, he introduces me to this tuition centre which is pretty near my house and i shall take over his place since he no longer works there. Went for the interview just now, no too much of an interview and questioning my qualifications but rather explaning to me what should i teach and the syalabus that i need to cover within a day..


I will be starting to work tomorrow, and i'm all set for it! answers all prepared!.. :) .... earn more money for more gadgets.. : )

gadget updates- i'm a happy boy!! oops, no , is man:)


i'm back in muar and at last get to see my new nokia E63 after so long, it is very true that the time and moment spent waiting and craving for something is more thrilling when u actually get hold of that particular thing:)... hehe ...manage to play with it a little but not in detail yet since i juz came back yesterday and was really tired.. anyway, i've traded in the sony w910i for quite a reasonable price for this ..


the old ipod touch is too thick(although it serves as a good protector), uncle john had bought me a thinner and slimmer 1,which means it looks more classy and reflective of the also exact size of the ipod touch.

belkin leather case

Tada, here is the mobile wrist watch!..i no longer need to bring two handphones when i have juz two pockets on my pants, it works pretty well. Can be used with or without a bluetooth headset.Furthermore, it supports photo viewing, sms, media player, bluetooth and others. The functions are the same as a normal phone, it's just that the screen is smaller and can be worn on the wrist!


Ever since i owned an ipod touch, the home button(represented by the red circle) always gives me problem and i m rendering under such an impression that it is actually nt a button but a sensor or something like dat, because it is very hard to press. until recently, when i remove the screen protector, only i realise that actually its a button, same as the 2nd gen ipod touch. It was actually the plastic protector which hinders me from pressing the button all this while ..
Moving from that, since the button is working well now, i manage to jailbreak my ipod,and as seen above( the icon with a white circle), i can now download 3rd party applications for my ipod!



22th-28th of May 2009


the very night after our exams, we went to SKYBAR for gathering, its kinda a history for me since this is the very first time in my life stepping my foot into a bar.. sounds a bit mountain tortoise rite?:).. well, it was a nice experience.. not that messy and complicated as i always thought it to be.

Location: Skybar, 33rd Floor, Traders hotel.

This bar is unique in the sense that there is a pool inside the bar and its partially open air and it is high on top of the hotel..

the 4 friends who sits in class together for almost every class during inter..

the view outside the bar

after the gathering, since i did not makan for my dinner, we went to ss2 murni's for makan, since klang ppl, ahem ahem.. you know who you are, never ever visited the famous mamak before

next, BAGAN LALANG, SEPANG GOLDCOAST on the 24th of May.


Anis and Joe should be in the picture, but last minute they couldnt make it, but well , there is always another time


how can we not take lots and lots of pictures when we were there... from left: oops, i couldnt recognise whose shadow is that dy:)


small "kids" playing with kites and competing antara satu sama lain..


the sunset view, romantic rite?


Next, it was dinner time!!.. Ate some seafood which comprises of sotong,lala,fish, and erm, bambu lala together with nasi lemak telur.

it was a very shinny-hot-sun and tiring day, but we do enjoyed ourselves playing on the beach with the kites, discovering some cute sea creatures( or corpses to be more precise) and sitting by the beach and allow the waves to brush us wet again and again.

25th of May,

went to subang square with mianyi to change her external harddisk and then we spent most our time in sunway pyramid. Met up with samantha to pass her some notes and discuss with her some past year questions, glad that i still remembered what i've learned...

Steamboat dinner was our main agenda actually... so we went to Yuen's steaboat just opposite Sunway Pyramid.










26th-28th MAY- GENTING HIGHLANDS..
To most of my friends, going to genting is like going for shopping in midvalley, but as for me, it had been years since i last went to genting. The last time i went was when i m form 2 or 3 i guess..

and now, I'm back in MUAR ... woohoo... home sweet home!
p/s: i'll try not to get fat!! :)
I'll be going back to KL on the 5th and attending the District Rotaract Assembly and District Awards Night on the 6th.

the sweet smell of freedom

For the past 9 months or so, there is nothing in me that does not involve my studies, wherever i m, what ever i do, the thought of books and studies will for sure come into my mind. simply because i dun want to fail! before this, whenever i feel like enjoying and not studying for a day, the guilt in me is so strong that sometimes it affects me and prevent me from enjoying to the fullest..

but , now its finally over! no more thinking of law law law for the time being, and hopefully i need not reopen the books and subjects that i've studied before in my first year. its so scary to see all my books and materials lying on the floor, the bed,on the table , on the chair and everywhere! i kid you not!

For the four days of exams, which takes up about two weeks of my time, the time spent is not at all smooth, there are times when i get panic, times when i just dun feel like continuing to study anymore, envying ppl that can sleep early but i need to stay up wake at nite and i just cant comprehend in words how do we feel minutes before going into the exam hall!

studying is like eating and eating and eating, when you enter the exam hall, the 3 hours is for us to vomit out. the most scary part is not that u can vomit out and clear your stomach, but is that you really want to vomit but nothing comes out of it ..

I realise how God works in our favour, that sometimes we just doesnt notice it, because we just overlook it at times and give credit for our own intelligence and hard work. Weeks before our actual exam, the whether is unbearably hot,although when our exams are approaching, it is still like that, but at least it rains! this helps me a lot in my studies, the more cooling it is, the more not pek chek someone will be. PTL! Even during our exams, for most of the paper, i'm not saying that i'll do well, but at least i have points to write, something for me to vomit it out, I'm sure He is doing something great!although during my common law paper which is the less stressful paper for some ppl, i panicked before i went into the hall+ the effects on waking up at 3 a.m to study, i can say that i almost give up on that paper , imagine i sat there 15 mins and no points came into my head. i was like .. how can this be ? i studied. Some how eventually when i force my self on it, i manage to bla out some points, i really hope i can just pass that paper and need nt retake which saves me a lot of hassle..but i thank God i did not walk out of the hall and gave up just like that . If not i will for sure fail and there is no hope at all for me to past , at least for that paper, i manage to answer 4 questions~ at least there is stil chance for me to pass.

So what should i do next?... enjoy enjoy and enjoy !. .. i promise interesting gadgets update will be up soon !...
