Airport - Go Positive

WOW, first time I saw the new Penang airport. The last time I went to airport they were still renovating the building. I would say it's a nice handsome piece of work.=)

Goodbye Leong Jia Jung and Leong Jia Siang. We know each other since year 2001. Erm, how many years already ya? Hold on, I go press calculator see. 2012 - 2011 = 11. 11 years!!

We are not that close, but at least we were classmates. I thought twice should I go to the airport with Jun Xian and Tze Xiuan. I went.

Airports - People fly in and off. Friends and families who are at the arrival section can't hide their eagerness to meet their love ones. On the other side the daparture section is engulfed with sad and cloudy mood. But it does not neccessarily to be like that.

Okay. Don't worry, I am not going to say how will I miss the twins. To be frank I have no such feelings. We are not that close. We had no much topics to chat, I just kept throwing french fries into my mouth at McD. They are unusual pair of twins, with weird characters and weird ways of doing things. Haha. The reason I post this is not to elaborate my feelings towards them upon flying off the Florida nor badmouth them. It's about seeing some event with another point of view.

They're considered lucky to have the chance to go overseas and start a new life. If now were 2011 and before, I would sigh and lament that I don't have such opportunities. Er, plus a little bit of jealousy.

But now is 2012, the same earth, the same Penang, the same event, the same me but with a different mindset. I can feel I am changing, and this feeling is insanely great ( Steve Jobs loved this phrase ) ! After so many storms in my life over the 5 years, so much pain and those adversities I had gone through, I doubted did I grow? Now I can say it firmly, I am growing.

I started to have so-called positive mental attitude. Everyone is talking about thinking positively, every book teaches how. However, do you really know how it works? To me it works like this : When you meet something bad or something devastating, of cause you will feel discouraged and sad. You'd try to think positively, but failed. Over time, you will start to neglect it, you will feel nothing about it, it is like you get numb with it. You will just keep quiet and don't care, don't feel sad and don't feel good either. I call this transition period. Haha. When you are in this stage, press on, you are almost there. Okay, keep implanting positive thinkings, some time later you'll find yourself thinking the opposite of the problem. You will start to realize you will automatically think the bright side of the problem, not to comfort yourself, but you are confronting it and you carry the hope. That's it.

I am still practising, not that strong yet. But I know I can bear more pressure and stress. =)

You take your plane and you fly off, good luck I wish you. I have my own path and I am taking it alone. I don't have the chance given but I can create one myself. I used to find a companion to walk along with me, perharps I don't want to be alone. But I realize no one can't stick to me where ever I go, we have different goals and directions, I need to be totally independant.

No one is going to cut off my right arm if I don't go to USA. No one is going to take away my bicycle if I don't go for A levels. No one is going to put me in jail if I don't succeed ( But I will be the winner of my life ). XD

###

Another thing I saw was, how the twins treated Jun Xian. I am always proud to say that I am walao A si pek deng kind. I am mild and my boiling point is quite low. You know what, I think Teh Jun Xian has no boiling point. They treated him more like a servant than a good friend. I was totally dumbfounded when I saw how they talked to him. They were leaving, Jun Xian was like a housekeeper and Ahmad, he was assigned with jobs like sending this book to who, top-up phone money, collecting books fees from the library, do this and do that. I noticed this outrageous phenomenon a day before, Jia Siang ordered Jun Xian to take his bag from his car when Yan Fen arrived. 

Argh, don't worry my friends, I will help you to do the chores listed above too, but I will give you a slap and bang your head to the wall if you say it in a harsh way. I have no image, you can laugh at me as you wish, but please, I am a human being with dignity.

Maybe this is their way of interaction, or Jun Xian owes them RM100000000000000. Who knows? XD.

PS : Jia Jung kept calling GIRLS to say good bye and asking them what they want from USA. I thought he just called one girl. My sister told me he called her friends too. =0    GUYS, do you receive any calls from them? XP

NOTICE

Attention to all my faithful friends and readers!

Argh~Recently I received many complaints about my blog.Haha. Perharps the word complaints is a little bit strong. Okay, comments I should say - my posts are freaking lengthy!!

In fact, I constantly receive such comments.

Well, don't worry, I am not grumbling or what, there is absolutely no right or wrong on this matter. Through the book " Whatever you think, think the opposite" I learnt that there is no good or bad decisions and perharps opinions too. I am trying to practise "Judge less, accept more".

NOTICE

I am not giving in. XD I will still type a long long post, with the opening, content and conclusion paragraphs, the stereotype essay format. To me it's is my style of blogging, in spite of practising the usage of the languages, it's a full desription of my view towards an issue or an event.

Some say they feel lazy to scan through lines by lines, words by words. They prefer short posts with pictures and photos. I know reading is quite tiring sometimes especially from a screen. You have your reason and I am perfectly alright with it. I do respect your opinions, my friends. However, I feel that I am not going to that style yet, I won't say never.XP I am quite stuborn, remember?Haha. And I won't lose myself. I believe some may enjoy reading it.

WIN - WIN

Since I respect your opinions, and I don't want any of you miss out my interesting life ( Maybe, haha ) , I come out with a win - win solution. I will try to insert some pictures related to my ideas, and I will bold and underline and highlight and enlarge the summary. Okay with that?XD So you can just scan through with a glance!And for your information, there is a rating bar below the post, do rate it.=) Thank you. Any feedbacks and suggestions please don't hesitate to type a comment. Yeah. Your cooperation is highly appreciated. Thank you for your support.

P.S. I did try to make it more formal like a notice. X)

The Darkest Hour


Argh! Red FM keeps on promoting this movie. " Aliens from elsewhere invaded Russia and attacked humans, 5 survivors ......." When you listen to the advertisement you will absolutely be attracted to enter the cinema for the movie, their tricks succeeded then.

I watched it with Zhen Jie and Seok Hui last year's last week. Zhen Jie highly recommended it that time because according to him newspapers were giving nice and positive introduction on it. So we went in.

Okay, this is what I reacted : I really wanted to walk out after 5 minutes.

Do you remember the movie Skyline in 2010? Ya, the same type.

Aliens from elsewhere conquered earth for the minerals. The movie didn't tell where the aliens were from, they just dropped from the sky and just like that. Everyone's screaming and running for lives. Then the remnants were trying to fight back. The end of the movie was they knew many survivors in other places were starting to counter-attack the aliens. And it's not scary either.

NO HEAD, NO TAIL.

I don't like it. It does not satisfy my curiosity ( plus good explanation ) towards the origin of the aliens and the conclusion.

First Day at Work

Many of you have started working or studying. Congratulation to you if you make it to college! I want to study too!Ya I almost get into Inti to study HSC but, no.Haha.

Tomorrow school is going to start, I can't bear seeing my sister in uniform and school bag to return to school. How I wish I can go back, to meet up with you guys everyday, doing nonsense and pranks, joking about everything. We still can hang out, but not on a day to day basis like we had in school right? It's okay, although I can't have a proper education at least in 3 months time, I can start home-schooling myself.XD I will do a lot of reading, touching every subject every topic to fill up my brain. Borders is the first place I want to conquer, with Starbucks of course. Yeah!

Okay, let's talk about what actually happened during my first day at work after 3 years. I tried to look some part-time jobs in Sunway, but then my mum offered me to teach at her kindergarten as a Chinese teacher. Okay then, it's just half day, I can do my own stuff in the afternoon. However, I take it as helping her, not hoping to get the pay. She is my mum man and I am sure she won't scold me.Haha.

I reached there with my mum at 7am. My time is from 9am to 12am. I continued to read my Steve Jobs until the kids were ready. I taught 4-year-old kids first. First day of school, what would you usually do in class? Self introduction and getting to know each other. 

I asked one of the kids :" What is your name?" 

She stared at me with innocent eyes. After a few attempts, I was fed up.

I asked the next one the same question :" What is your name?"

" Name!" She repeated with a broad smile. Argh.

I asked the third one, which I knew his name.

"Are you Firaz?"

" NO." He didn't bother to look at me. Perharps, this is humour?

-______________-

It's so hard to control them. I really admire my mum having such tolerance, not patience. Firaz loves to teach others how to play a toy. He tries to be a teacher. He can be a leader someday.

Then I changed period to teach elder kids. They were more disciplined and organized. I gave them Chinese spelling to recall their last year's lessons. One of the girls kept shooking her head saying "I don't know I don't know!" Even you had taught her, she still refused to learn. Then she drew a square and told me it's a circle (wow). I drew a circle and asked her what's that, she said it's a square (cool).

One of the girls is very clever. She wrote faster than others and started to laugh at people who were slower. She tried to be one step further than others, then other clever kids also wanted to follow her. The class turned into a turmoil.

One thing in common however, for the kids -  they love to colour.

I think I didn't give so much trouble to my teacher when I was at their age. Haha. They are horrible kids!

Hope tomorrow will be better! Yeah!

Sherlock Holmes : A Game of Shadows

 Thumbs up!XD I watched this with friends right after we went Pantai Kerachut, with our smelly bodies full of the smell of salt from the sea and the salt we excreted. This is one of the nice movies I watched in 2011. It is like mission impossible in 20th century, although it talks about how a detective solves a case but it is more to accomplishing a mission impossible to me. In fact, there are many similarities between Sherlock Holmes and Mission Impossible 4 - Their enemies are trying to bomb the world, they travel from place to place too.

The movie is pretty exciting, from the beginning to the end, full of suspense and it takes away your breath. I love to watch movies which require you to think, not just a show feast for your eyes. This is it. You need to think fast if you want to catch up with the story line. Someone said it is boring but I totally disagree. I am ready to watch it a second time!

 
Holmes is a genius, no doubt about that, and every genius seems to have some mental defectiveness, they tend to act in a strange way, perharps that's why they are genius.Haha. The way Sherlock speaks, the way he behaves and the way he thinks.

Let me ask a question again, why are all the main characters so rich?

One thing that I admire him is his steadiness and calm when facing heart-breaking events. When he knows his lover is killed, he remains calm and he does not show any weak sign to his enemy. Ya, his face changed, but his thoughts are still sharp and clear. I learn that sometimes we must really put away our personal emotions for the greater good.=)


Dr. Watson, you will never suggest he is a doctor looking at this poster. Oh yea. Nowadays Hollywood has changed the stereotype image of the doctors huh.He is a doctor with exceptionally good fighting skills.XD A doctor need not be quiet and mature, its proven by Dr. Watson. He can fool around and have the courage to adventure too. If I am to become a doctor, I want to be one like him! Yeah.
