What I've been up too...

After my trip from sg, I was so lazy and tired to do anything except getting plenty of rest and sleep. muahahaha... sounds like a lazy pig! Been reading, doing and thinking abt alot of things around me. For those whom known me well will definitely understand why i'm so pissed with the following story. Alot of things have been happening around here, malaysia and overseas (e.g. 2nd bombings at London railway station. what a disgraced, show yourself those terrorist responsible for it! :p).

One that caught my serious attention was UMNO trying their very best to revive NEP(National Economic Policy) which was first introduced by Tun Abdul Razak after the Mei 1969 event to ensure fair share of the pie within the malays and non-malays. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of ppl(*idiots*) whom are still not happy with their current pay and wanted the govt to give them more so that they could be richer and richer and "shake leg" for the rest of their life. From what I've known, the NEP has two objectives. One: to eradicate the identification of economic function with race (that at least 30% of the shares on the Malaysian stock exchange are held by Malays.); and Two: to eradicate poverty irrespective of race. At the moment, they are pushing for objective 1 instead of the whole policy by itself. That's what getting on my nerve now. I always wanted to leave this place due to the unfair treatment and lousy systems employ within the whole organization that leave no space for improvement. On the other hand, I'm reluctant to leave this place caused it's my birthplace, my hometown, families, friends and I've been staying here for the past 22 years of my life exclude 2yrs spent at aust and sg respectively. But it seems like i can't avoid telling myself to calm down, settled down and be positive since it' s so obvious that it'll only get worst where slowly i'll b stripped off my residency and put on the "2nd class" citizen tag. I'm not sure what's going on now especially with Badawi's administration. At one instance, he was trying his best to bring back the glorious day once our country enjoyed by eradicating poverty, improved infrastructure, get rid of graft, removed the USD peg for a better managed currency and economy, putting pressure on all his followers lead by example but on the other hand, he stressed that he'll have no choice but to continue to strive hard for his own race and ensure that the NEP must go on for the benefit of their own. Ironic rite? sighed! (vvv disappointed!!!) Maybe i'm exaggerating some part of the story but i'm only telling the truth and doing my part as fellow MALAYSIAN whom no doubt have my own needs and care which required attention too! Am i heard? Guess not right caused even I'm being heard but they will only just ignored and continue to put on a good show... Frankly speaking, I don't believe that by giving a person a certain amount of share will make them a better person. You are just spoilling them. They will come and ask for more! (human are well known for their greed and selfishness!) Why can't we emulate those successful and developed countries to have a system which a evenly distributed wealth system that benefits everyone especially those who are capable, competitive, work-hard and loyal to the system itself. I can continue to rave and rant for hours without stopping on this issue but what's the point if no one even care to put a stop to the current and make life better for everyone. i'm confused, disappointed, damn pissed and feeling like i've just being dumped not by a girl (some people thought that being dumped by their gf or their loved ones are the end of the world for them, try this -> dumped by your own birthplace, the only place where you almost spent the whole lifetime, the place that give you identity, the place that makes you feel safest, most importantly, it's the place which give you a sense of belonging but... *sob* *sob* *sob*!!!

The 90/10 Principle by Stephen Covey

Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life.
What is the 90/10 Principle?10% of life is made up of what happens to you.90% of life is decided by how you react.What does this mean?We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.We cannot stop the car from breaking down.The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off.A driver may cut us off in traffic.We have no control over this 10%.The other 90% is different.You determine the other 90%.How? By your reaction.

You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction.Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.Let's use an example.

You are eating breakfast with your family.Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt.You have no control over what just what happened.What happens when the next will be determined by how you react.You curse.You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over.She breaks down in tears.After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her forplacing the cup too close to the edge of the table.A short verbal battle follows.You storm upstairs and change your shirt.Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school.She misses the bus.Your spouse must leave immediately for work.You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school.Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit.After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school.Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye.After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase.Your day has started terribly.As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse.You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your spouse daughter.Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning.

Why did you have a bad day?A) Did the coffee cause it?B) Did your daughter cause it?C) Did the policeman cause it?D) Did you cause it?The answer is D.You had no control over what happened with the coffee.How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.Here is what could have and should have happened.

Coffee splashes over you.Your daughter is about to cry.You gently say, "It's ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time."Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs.After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your getting the bus.She turns and waves.You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff.Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.Notice the difference?Two different scenarios.Both started the same.Both ended different.Why? Because of how you REACTED.

You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens.The other 90% was determined by your reaction.Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle.If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge.Let the attack roll off like water on glass.

You don't have to let the negative comment affect you!React properly and it will not ruin your day.A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic?Do you lose your temper?Pound on the steering wheel?A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off!Do you curse?Does your blood pressure skyrocket?Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work?Why let the cars ruin your drive?Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.You are told you lost your job.Why lose sleep and get irritated?It will work out.Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.

The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day.Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant?She has no control over what is going on.Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger.Why get stressed out?It will just make things worse.
Now you know the 90-10 principle.Apply it and you will be amazed at the results.You will lose nothing if you try it.The 90-10 principle is incredible.Very few know and apply this principle.The result?Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials,problems and heartache.There never seem to be a success in life.Bad days follow bad days.Terrible things seem to be constantly happening.There is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships.Worry consumes time.Anger breaks friendships and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest.Friends are lost.Life is a bore and often seems cruel.Does this describe you? If so, do not be discouraged.You can be different!Understand and apply the 90/10 principle.It will change your life.

Kel's B'daY on 9th July(SAT)

Sorry for the late posting. Was away since sunday. Won't be getting much free time for posting this week but i'll try my best. I'm currently down at sg for some assignments and handovers of someone else's work. huh! Yeah, last sat was superb and tiring day. Three great guys with three great events. Before that, a big cheer for our big bro kel whom turned 26 last saturday. Bravo kel! A big man now... time to put those thoughts(you know what i mean here...ehehehe!) into careful consideration and action. No doubt we had a wonderful, exciting and thrilling saturday. Never thought it will be that much fun. Guess our God/F will agree so. But by the end of the day, three of us already wear out but deep inside we are still as energetic as we were during our college times. First we went to Zoo at Setapah before stopping by at klcc for lunch then to the exotic car exhibition at KL Convention Centre near klcc(connected through the lrt tunnel). The excitement doesn't just stop there, after visiting all the car booths(i like especially the one which display Porsche GT Carrera and F60 Ferrari Enzo, SUPERB!!!), we went to 1U for dinner(at Mak's Laksa) and movie(at the new GSC Cinema, 2nd time there). Met with kennie where he joins us for Amityville Horror! Wasn't that scary as I thought... Orh yeah b4 movie, i treat kel to a slice of cheese cake at Secret Recipe. As for myself, i had the chocolate banana cake. It was a sumptuous treat for both of us not to miss out KY whom slam dunk a banana split. Hehehehe!!! Overall, it was one hell of day... where by the time we reached home, all of us drop dead... as for me couldn't get much of sleep as I need to wake up at 7am the next morning to pack for my trip to sg. but it's really worth it... :)

LRT -> Lousy Rail Transit

I think our public transportation system need some sort of "push" from the relevant authorities in order for them to perform accordingly and at least satisfy the customer need by providing punctual train timing and courteous service. Lately, both the commuter and lrt services have been going through some kind of slump. Timing out, train breakdown and impolite staff. I'm not sure what's the cause of such a lousy planning and nuisance behaviour. Could it be due to their company, KTM and Putra going through some sort of restructuring or retrenchment in progress? That's why the staff are taking this opportunities to "screwed up" the services as a way to show their dissatisfaction / protest. If so, why isn't the company doing anything to stop it or improve it? Are they enjoying all these? Seeing 2-3millions commuters sufferred each day due to their unethical problems? huh... I think no matter whether there's a problem within their organisations or not, they should mend it ASAP or try to settle it peacefully rather than causing all these unnecessary delays. If it's not due to any of these, it's even worst! Caused it's an eye-sore to see this kind service standards provided by KTM and PUTRA. Yeah, most of us couldn't deny that they are the only two train services around but please try their best to provide us with the deserved service. Looking at the amount we pay and the time wasted due to their delay each day. 1 or 2 mins is not an excuse. If the planning is properly done, all these won't come into play at all. I think it's time the government step in and do something about this before it's too late. Both KTM and PUTRA, are rotting and i think they need a boost or else some sort of competition from other providers. Look how effective it's when the government announced that they going to bring in more competitors to the broadband arena and asked Telekom to open their last loop for them... The immediate effect was a complete restructuring of the whole Telekom company itself and now known as TM instead. KTM and PUTRA are too comfortable with themselves and never even bother to upgrade their service. Worst still no maintenance is done else all those breakdowns wouldn't have occurred at the first place. Very disappointed and worried citizen... Are we going to head to Vision 2020 with such a transportation system? Huh!

have a break...

Stay Focus! -> Tip 2:

Never allow others to interrupt or disturb you during your thinking process. The best is to stay away from them or ignore them! Although our mind can process a lot of information at any one time, but it's processing speed is limited. Therefore to avoid it's processor to overload, it's better we concentrate on one instruction per intake. By doing so, it'll optimised the thinking process and produce a more accurate results.

Stay Focus! -> Tip 1:

“Don't ever give up when the going gets tough but keep on persevering and see it through. At the end of the day, you’ll turn out to be a much more stronger and enduring person.”

Stay Focus!

How to stay focus? Hmmm... been thinking abt this for a couple of days but still without much results... Always find myself pondering to something else in the middle of the thinking process. Yeah, couldn't "stay focus" at all!!! how am I supposed to overcome this weakness or come up with the ways to improve it. My mind always playing with me, throwing many other thoughts everytime I try to stay focus and concentrate on sthg. Is this normal ar? Am I being overly cautious? Maybe I'm but I just couldn't control it. But it's sthg I MUST do else I'll be missing a lot in this life or this year itself. If you are wondering what I'm trying to say here, bother no more cause it's something personal. The main topic here is "How to Stay Focus???" It's such a simple word but the action itself can bring big impact towards the way we see and do things. Can even make our life better! While I'm writing this post, I'm also trying my best to stay focus... sighed! I think if we're able to stay focus and take control of the way how our mind works and operate, we maybe heading to become what they call "genuis". They can control 10% of their brain and mind to make them do extraordinary things!!!

Quote of the moment:
"From time to time the exceptional is necessary. For events as well as for men, the stock company is not enough; geniuses are needed among men, and revolutions among events. Great accidents are the law; the order of things cannot get along without them; and, to see the apparitions of comets, one would be tempted to believe that Heaven itself is in need of star actors." -- Victor Hugo in ''Les Misérables

badminton @ SS24, Taman Megah

Yesterday, I had a good badminton session with Kel n KY a.k.a MY. Supposed to get another player but couldn't find one. Hmmm... any badminton player out there which don't really mind playing with us, please email me ! Therefore, couldn't do double but we went for a couple rounds of single then headed off to Ming Tien for our favorites jumbo juice! it's was very satisfying experience especially after a session of badminton workout. These days the amount of juice is much more as compared to the last time we went where literally the whole jumbo mug was mainly filled up with cubes of ice. KY was too hungry and couldn't resist the temptation to try out the "nasi lemak" there. ehehehe... guess if me and kel wasn't that hungry we would have fall for it too. While we were enjoying our food and drinks, we chatted about going elsewhere to build our career, enriching our life perspectives, meeting new people along the way and...etc...etc. Always think out of the box! Was a great Saturday! just wish we could do this every now and then. Life much more than just working hard, earning those few bucks and getting ourselves hooked to our job. There's so much more beauty in our life, we just need to view it from different angles. Thanks guys for accompanying me for a nice Saturday!

p/s: Went for War of the Worlds at night at BR. Hmmm...about the movie, not much to comment about just that it wasn't as good was what I've expected. Probably I was expecting too much and Steven Spielberg was just doing his best to follow the novel written by H.G.Wells on 1898. Although the suspense was quite good but it's just lacking of the technology. eheheheh...

KTM->Keep Trying Mistake!!!

couldn't believe it man. this morning was my 1st time late to work and it's not caused by myself but thanks alot to KTM. sighed. the usual train i took from jln kastam stn at 7:19am was delayed to 7:50am and i was late by 30mins. damn!!! this is not my 1st bad experience with KTM but a couple liao. not sure why after so many times but they seems like never learn the lesson. are they that stupid? i doubt so... or could it be it was driven by a bunch of pigs? very disappointing... usually we try our best to improve our services to provide our customer the first class service but KTM since like doing it otherwise. lately it's getting worse and worse! and to make things even worse, today after work i tried to take ktm back as usual and guess what they ticket salesman from KTM told me: "Please try to avoid taking our train now. They have been some sort of train breakdown along the kl-sentul track. and due to this, they were unable to switch the train and they are using one train to traverse up and down fr kl-sentul." what??? sounds very ridiculous don't you think so? and this is what i replied: "What? Why KTM always got such a service breakdown? You guys never learn wan ar?" (leave the ticketing counter in a disappointing look...) today was the worst man... can you imagine 2millions commuters rely on their services each day to travel from and back home. yeah, that's what the advertisement said on their advertisement section: "Please don't miss the chance to advertise with us else you are missing a big opportunity to bring your message across these people. We have 2 millions commuters who uses our services each day." Yeah, i tink we're going to miss this big opportunity soon if they continue to "improve" their services in such a manner. i believe only ghost will take their service then. nightmare!!!

p/s: KTM, please prove me wrong... and don't ask for another chance where you'll definitely screwed it again... i begged u...

3 days effort

finally managed to complete my new blog design and also a new name to it as well. *hooray* i'm happy and i'm sure you'll as well. ehehehe... not sure how most of you will think of this new touch and feel? do give some comments... i'm always in to take positive comments from any of you. as it says, to be able to do well in something, we must be able to take people's comment positively and improve from there. changed my profile picture as well. it's a frog in a *shock* state. why would he be in a shocked/surprised/confused state....??? cause he just woke up from his long hours sleep and when he saw this new direction in his life, he wasn't sure whether he should take that road or not. That's why he still look shocked/surprised/confused... where should he heads from here? it's up to he, himself to find out. people can only give you plenty of guides but the final decision is still lies within himself. no matter which road he decided to trudge there'll always plenty of challenges waiting for him along the way but he shouldn't just give up but instead take those as a incentives for him to further improve himself and be a better person. apart from the picture changed, i've managed to get some help from KY in coming up with this transparent background. thanks KY/MY! it looks cool and nice to me but not sure what others will say. it's from one of my favourite anime site. it's called AppleSeed. it's a very good anime. interesting storyline and the graphics is solidy done using OpenGL. hey WC, heard that? your favourite subject of all time. muahahaha.... i'm in the midst of downloading the whole anime movie and if any of you are interested do drop by and let me know. also added some new links and modified some of them on to ensure that it's properly aligned and layout. removed all the feeds i have in my previous blogspot cause i found that it's rather lengthy and not really useful since i can go directly to the website whenever i wanted to. maybe may add just one news feed instead of previous three. overall, i found the whole site looks much better now: neater, simple yet elegant, and overall it's just what i wanted to do for the past months. finally... huh... ehehehehe... 3x cheers to myself!!! :p
