Nico Rindu

i’m not a fan of Malay Songs. But i do listen to a few of them. And to those of 1st GTS, i’m sure all of us know the song Rindu. It has been the theme song for i guess all of EY. And i know the lyrics by heart. Seriously, when i was the PL and VUL, after the camp fire, we would cry so badly when singing this song. I’m sure most of us have alot of negative things to say during our recruit years but then when it comes to this i really dunno what to say. But one thing for sure, i’ve learned alot from 1st GTS. Making me the person i am today. it thought me that Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions.

thought me how to stand up and fight for what i believe is right, it thought me that as a patrol and unit in whole as a team everything is possible. It thought me that making bad decisions will eventually cause the patrol/unit to suffer. And as a Leader your the first to be executed.

I’ve made decisions that are pathetic and stupid of me when i was a PL. Especially when i was a PL in EY. Well no use regretting and all, but i surely learned from them. The best part was i had a fight with my Patrol Second. And also one of my Patrol Members.

Of how irresponsible i was when i left my Patrol Second in charge of everything. But i guess both of us learned alot out from it. And now we are very very close.

Well, although it has been years since i held a Bamboo or a Parang, but if they was a chance i would really like to do it all over again.

Nepmatic Camera has really bad service

planning to get a DSLR. So i called up Nepmatic as i previously bought my fuji S6500fd there. So i called up the Midlands branch. And i asked ” I would like a quote for a few cameras ” and the man replied

I’m busy now. Can you please call back later?

I know he said please. But for god sake, i’m a potential customer and thats not the way to turn me down. If your really that busy ask for my contact and call me back. Or is nepmatic not interested to earn money from me? I really hope sales people would use theirs brains more often….

Courage is doing what you’re afraid to do.
There can be no courage unless you’re scared.

well, i just have to say, she kicked the shit out of me and pushed reality back into that thick head of mine. i dunno, but she somehow she reminds me of Choo Choo. The always positive girl. But i used to bully Choo Choo alot. I wonder is it even called bullying. And Choo Choo used to have the nickname is msn called COURAGE. I wanted to chat with her tonight but shez not on9. It’s always that she pops up when you least expected. I wonder whatz Choo doing now?

Well, exams next week and i’ve yet to start studying. I wonder why? Maybe i’m not the type of guy with the CGPA 4.0. Despite my lack of academic attention, i’m still able to manage a decent 3.2 CGPA. It’s just that i don’t really see the point of CGPA 4.0. I’m lazy i totally admit it. I dun have that patience to seat down and study to get it. I was never the academic guy. LOL and i remember Ben and I would look like dungu’s in Vijaya’s class. Well, hopefully i don’t fail any of the subjects, its gonna take me another 1 year if i were to fail.

Well, i guess i’m more of the practical sort. Maybe i always was. While they were good at answering those academic question, i would say i’m quiet decent in the practical part. After all, you fail miserably when you get it done.

I wonder what are the guys doing now? Have not been in contact with them for a long long long time. And tomolo having it being a study week, i still need to go meet up a few people to settle a few cases. Going to college to see Mr Lew, need to solve the”LinkButton in Accordion as Trigger of Updatepanel” then i have a few other emails to draft.

Plan to take my daughter out in the evening. I know shez been bugging me alot. Unexpectedly Jeff sms-ed and asked me to meet him at Han Chiang too.

Wanted to take her to Han Chiang to meet some frens today, but my old man was using my bike. Should have got the car license. Finally i’ve been able to allocate some cash for my Driving License. Plan to get them during the holidays. Probably i’m the only person in college which can’t differientate between the clutch and brake. And i finally got my MyKad. hehehehe

Bleeding badly

it’s 7.50am in the morning and i’m awake. I had my shuteye at 3am. Hehehe why am i up so early? well today’s the last day of class and i reli didn’t want to ponteng Mr Kevin’s VB.net class. hehehe

Well, i’ve also been bleeding badly lately. For those that asked, thanks for the concern. Due to the lack of sleep and the ammount of things to attend to ( i’m not calling it stress ), my psoriasis has been on a rampage. Well, probably its telling me to get some rest. Hahaha

Finals around the corner, and i’ve yet to get any revision done. I’m kinda concerned over my Economics as i got a D for my mid term. Given the situation, i guess it can’t be helped then.

I’ve already got my holidays planned out, and i guess it will be work work and work too.

Lately, i’ve come to a conclusion… when i ask for something, please don’t tell me your lazy. I’ve become very very agitated to that word. Seriously, lazy is not an excuse for not wanting to do something…

For those who insisted to know how i celebrated Valentines

Well for one, i didn’t get a box of chocs like she did, neither did my better half come down from Johor, neither did i help my friend deliver flowers to his crush and i didn’t fold a dozen roses for my crush too.

Hahaha I was in coffee island on the wee hours of Valentines with a group of Project Formulation friends frying our brain cells on C# and trying to sort our head with MySQL. Which apparently i didn’t sleep at all. For the 14th of February 2009 i had my project formulation presentation. Whole night was trying to get the codes in order.

So i went to college at 9am and impatiently waited for my turn to have my presentation for my project. Well i waited for 4 hours which my eye lids were tied to a whale. Well it was no ones fault that i didn’t sleep hahaha.

With so much work and which i’ve decided to focus on my work and all. It’s sometimes hard to find time even for myself. It’s kinda complicated. Well but i got to do what i got to do and no one is gonna stop me….

Well, i just want to have dinner and maybe a good conversation. It’s so hard to get one these days. So would the girl waiting for dolphins on the ferry give me the honor of having dinner with me?

The morning screwed up the whole day

first and foremost i’m not going into details. So don’t bother to ask me here. If you really wanna know ask me on Live Messenger. Seriously, i’ve not panic like that for such a long time. I always had backups and all. I always had precautionary matters lined up for an event. Today was seriously unexpected. And when i knew bout it, my heart started jumping.

The worst part of everything is not knowing anything. With zero info, i coudn’t come up with a backup plan. Wahlau, i tekan sampai dunno what to say. I made a few calls in the morning to gather intel. Most of them was not fruitful. I called up Boss Ong to make arrangements. Boss still sleeping but he picked up the phone with a groggy voice. He agreed with me and said he wanted to go back and sleep. Hahahaha

Called up the “supplier” and she was cool with the new plan. At least i made arrangements. The worst part was not being able to locate. But luckiy i confirmed that. So now i’ve cooled down but still i’m very very uneasy over the change of plans…

i’ve always planned everything down. It’s not that i hate to be sponteneuos. But having things listed in order is what i prefer. Although i hate writting them down. So today was really unprecendented. But i guess i got it under control again. Hopefully i didn’t make a too big of a fuss with it.

    Freaking Depressed Now….

    aaarh, freaking depressed now. I need a tight slap on my face to bring me back to reality. KM where are you when i need you? sad la you. Preproduction is due in 5 days time, and i’ve like completed only 50% of it. I still have time to finish it actually, but that means there will be not much sleep and leisure for this 5 days. But i’m not really worried about it. At least not to the extend of losing my focus.

    Boss Ong, next wed i need to go for movie d. Planning to treat Boss for movie, but he big shot wan, dunno free to go out with me or not.

    Babi Lynn has been so busy lately, and i really hate talking to her AI chat bot.

    I need a walk along the shore with the waves and stars….

    freaking depressed now….

    6.30 in the morning

    i’ve slept for roughly 3 hours. was chatting with alwin till the wee hours of the morning. And in 2 hours time, i’ll be yawning away in Johnathan’s class. But tonight i could barely sleep. Although i’ve 9 days left for submisssion of Preproduction Portfolio which apparently i should be worried like mad, but that isn’t the matter after all. Eng Chun just went to sleep hahaha he has been working on his project all night LOL. I’m meeting him later to discuss the codes.

    Alwin has been rather positive lately. Didn’t really expect that type of “encouragement” from him at all. After all, we live life once.

    On the other hand, KM says up to me. I’ve been bugging her here and there for this. And she says i’ve never been so miserable and confused before.

    Maybe shez right, that confidence and arrogance which i’m usually full of is just no where to be seen lately.
