What Say You, KDU?

2009-01-22T22:59:00.003+08:00

KDU - Kolej Damansara Utama, that's the official name. I am not gonna start putting other names that has been created since its establishment but I guess people out there would actually know what I am talking bout.

Few issues:

1) Parking is actually first come, first serve but nevertheless, they still reserve some for staffs. Where's the rational in that? Now, we pay a huge sum of money to KDU every semester or so and KDU prouds itself for being an institution that generates brilliant students and driving their dreams. However, they think that we are somehow STUPID enough to not realise that the basement carpark is empty with parking lots when we make the BIG U-TURN they created for us just because we took the liberty to climb up the hill, approach the grand entrance of our beloved college only to realise that the thousands we pay means nothing as the words of the JAGA is supreme.

2) They want to create a study enviroment where people can enjoy college life, and at the same time achieve fantastic results, which in the end would greatly reflect on their name but they do the best thing that every BIG company would do. They implement bureaucracy. How SMART can someone be to make STUDENT SERVICES CENTRE an OFFICE?? Tell me, HOW SMART?? Student services is supposed to be there for the students, help them whenever they are in need of assistance and help, in order to ensure that their stay there is well taken care of. By being an entire office, where we now have to make an appointment, follow procedures, where is that personal touch? We are going there to seek for help, not get into more trouble!!

3) Law students get 1 rim of paper every sem! This is utter nonsense. How do you expect a law student to survice with 1 rim of paper a semester? We cant even survive with 1 book for 1 subject. It is just never enough. We need those notes, we need those cases, we NEED them papers! Most of the students are outstation students and they rely on the Library as well as the Computer Lab to complete their assignments and get notes. With the amount of papers remaining at 1 rim, which will actually translate to 100 pieces of paper, how are we gonna get all those things we need?? I know I know, the next best thing to say, 'U need more, U pay for more'. Then why not, you pay us back what we paid you, so we can get more of what we really need?? Then maybe thru that, the passing rate would actually be HIGHER!

I've heard many explanations from representatives of the institution but it all just doesn't make a single sense to me. I wouldn't wanna start explaining them here but my main question to the above mentioned issues is this simple line...

WHAT SAY YOU, KDU???

Wanted vs. Unwanted

2008-09-29T00:37:00.002+08:00

Well, it's been awhile since I last had anything to say here in my blog or rather my second 'home'. I've been busy with studies, club and also certain personal issues that arise recently. Anyway, this time around, something very interesting popped out in my mind. Can we actually draw a difference and/or set a mark on what we want and what we don't want? What I actually mean from this is, we may want a lot of things, but have we ever considered the outcome and consequences from what we want? Have we ever weighed in and wondered if those unwanted issues, if any, ever arises, would we be happy and would we be able to deal with it?

1. We want a car so badly, we go and get a loan. Loan is payable say in 5 years time. We enjoy using the car, because it's convenient, saves time and also a little because we can actually have a rather higher 'status' in society. What we don't want is that we have to make payments every month, from the salary we get. Let's face it, if we had the money to get a car, do we need loans? Maybe we do, and that wouldn't be the problem but there's always two sides to look at right? I'm looking at a more realistic and practical point of view. Of course with no interest charged from the banks, we would opt for loans but then again, there are always two sides to look at right? One being able to afford and one maybe not so lucky. So, wanted = car, unwanted = extra burden every month.

2. Credit card. A very useful item that we can use without fear because we just need to swipe it and put our 'John Hancock' and we are virtually rich beyond our own imaginations. Of course again, there are people who know their limits and use it sparingly and there are also a whole bunch of people whom just can't control and will use it as an unlimited supply of cash. Well, before these people know it, they will only end up being able to pay the minimum and sooner than later, a letter of demand from the law firm will be sent to their humble adobes and that's when trouble starts. So, wanted = convenience of use of unlimited cash flow, unwanted = having to realise that by the end of the day, what is credited has to be paid and not being to able to pay will result in terrible circumstances.

3. Let's get to something more interesting. Say, change of a government (no particular country in question, just a general discussion). Changes are needed and changes will happen. The only problem here or rather the point of contention would be again what is wanted and what is unwanted. In certain countries, it is reasonable to say that a change is unavoidable and it's good as it brings in different ideas and methods of ruling. It also enhances the idea of democracy and a fair policy of administration. However, when we think deeper, doesn't the above seem very theoretical and we are missing out on the grey areas.

Changes are needed, definitely, but at what expense and cost? Say an organisation and/or government has been there for a number of years and it has been carrying out it's duties in a manner that is not agreeable by the minority and it has come to a time where the people are beginning to feel uncomfortable, leading an effort to change these administrators. One fact that we can't deny is that policies has been there for a long time and for a new group of people to take over the administration role would mean a drastic change. Now, these drastic changes promised and/or manifested would definitely seem to be the best of it's kind and is to suit the entire nation or country. It would seem that finally someone can give us what we want and what we have been fighting for all these while, maybe say fairness and equality.

Perfect ending to a perfect start? Hmm... Well, let's take things further. In life and in everything we do, is there really a thing called fairness and equality?? It's a known and accepted fact that when one wins, another loses. If we are to fight for equality and fairness, it would basically mean that in the past, we ain't getting them right? So, when we really do get these fair and equal rights and stuffs, wouldn't that mean that someone who has been taking advantage all these while has just lost something?? We are saying that we want equality and fairness, but how could it be fair if someone has just lost something when we won? Is that fair??

Don't get me wrong, I am not taking sides. What I'm trying to do now is to induce a discussion based on logic and common sense. Ok, back to previous discussion. Say we got that equality and fairness that we fought for in the first place, do you think it will end there and then? Someone has just lost something, like we lost it before, that's why we are fighting for it now. So, wouldn't common sense tell u that those who have lost it would end up fighting for what they think belongs to them, which have now been taken away? I am not saying that equality and fairness ain't right, I am just saying that don't you think that the fight will never end?? It's mainly because now we are at the losing end, and we want to win, which means that the other party who is winning now, will lose. Can't it come to a situation where it will be a draw? The equality that we seek in the first place is only on name equal but based on what I have just said, it's actually a win-lose situation.

For equality to strike, there are mainly two ways:
a) Everyone gets something;
b) Everyone gets nothing.
My opinion on this would be for everybody involved to get nothing and start afresh from the beginning. Yes, it is definitely argued and accepted that by doing this, those that have benefited all these while are losing something as well but by losing this, it would bring equality to live because now everyone has nothing to fight for and everyone is to start from the beginning and 'may the best person win'. If we are to allow those that have nothing in the past to get something now, it would mean that equality is only a mere fiction because now everyone has got something to fight for and as we all know for a fact, one is never enough. It would then turn out to be a fight for who gets the biggest share for giving and/or performing the biggest effort and sacrifice, which can hardly be judged or justified. Therefore, starting from fresh, where everyone gets nothing would see the best option.

Next, what matters to me may not matter to you and what is right for me may not be right for you. This is very true when it comes to discussing about issues on changes, because what is happening now may suit me and if it changes, it might end up suiting you and not me. So, how can we say that we can achieve fairness here? Fairness and equality happens when everyone and anyone gets treated the same and no matter what happens suits everyone. I may agree with the way things are carried out now but may not if a change is to come. Sometimes, promises can be made and it does seem very convincing but then again, when we really think about it, can these promises really be materialised?And, looking at the bigger picture, now that we already have so many disagreements that leads to uproars and discomfort, imagine if a drastic change is to really materialised? Wouldn't the uproars and discomfort be more severe than before? Are we ready to face it and can we stand up for the better once those discomforts are over? So, wanted = change of government/administration, unwanted = unnecessary uproars and/or unachievable fairness/equality.

From what I have mentioned above, I can sense it now that not many or maybe not even a single person out there would agree with me but let's be objective and think bout it properly. I am not saying that a change is not good, but wouldn't a change from within be more appropriate? Are we saying that just because we are not satisfied with the way things are now, we are getting another party and/or individual to come in with the hope of changing things? No matter what we say or do, it will all remain a hope. Yes, arguable, there's at least a hope, but a baseless one will get us nowhere. Hope based on words uttered are not hope per se.

The other thing to be remembered is that, 'An eye for an eye, makes the whole world blind'. I ain't saying that fighting for what is right is not a good thing to do. It is good only if we weight the cost and its expense and work towards it in a controlled manner. If even before a change may come, so many discomfort is already happening, picture a time when the change really happens. A change can come but it has to be by someone and not anyone. We are not desperate. Since we really want a change for the better, let's make sure it's for the better and not just simply do it cos we WANT to do it and forget bout all the UN-WANTS. The possibility of risking something for what we think is right, does not blend well with our dreams and hopes in the first place, which is to create and enhance fairness and equality. If we really WANT to achieve that, we have to make sure that nothing is at risk and nothing and no one shall be sacrificed in the path of glory. Glory is only when we can achieve it without having to lose not only a single battle but also not a single body. That is the ultimate glory. If we are to lose, risk and sacrifice something or somebody along the way, I shall say by the end of the day, even if we win, it shall be no win to shout about.

Question to ponder, "If there were 100 people, and one of them carries a deadly disease, which can spread, resulting in the death of the other 100 people, you at the mercy of killing this one person, would you do so?"

I shall reveal my answer in my next post. In the meantime, if anyone has any comments, feel free to leave them yeah. =)

Sometimes, we may only focus at getting what we want because we feel it's right and let me tell you, I do agree it's right but only to a certain extent. We may and we shall fight for what is right, only and only if we weigh the consequences properly and say to ourselves, 'Look, they ain't much that we can't handle nor can't tackle. No matter what happens, we are ready for it and we can take it up'. If so that is the case, then so be it, we shall fight for what we WANT. Let's not forget then, whenever there is something or someone which we WANT, there is always something or someone that we UN-WANT or rather DO NOT WANT.

Truly,

CK

It Got Me Wondering...

2008-07-10T15:40:00.005+08:00

Can A Family Man With Salary RM3,000 Survive In Malaysia...!

Let's do some simple calculation here.

In Malaysia, the average family income isRM3,000 /month (where father works, mother doesn't).

I understand there are many families whose monthly income does not reach RM3,000, but, to make things simple, let's take RM3,000as the figure. Ok lah, right?

Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ....

Calculation starts...

Electricity and water bill: RM100
(No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?)

Phone bill ( Telekom): RM100
(Internet streamxy RM68 + land line RM25 = RM93, round-up to RM100 la)

Meals for a happy family: RM775
(3 meals on RM25/day 4 persons. Forget about makan in restaurant ya)

Papa makan / teh-tarik during working hrs: RM155
(RM5/day, RM5 ... can eat what?)

Car repayment: RM400
(A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs repayment)

Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam) :RM300
(go to work, bring son to school, only can afford one car running. NO YET CONSIDER PETROL INCREASE 40.8%)

Insurance: ~~RM650~~
(Kids, wife and self. Forget about insurance la..no money to pay, lets drop it)

House repayment: RM750
(low cost housing repayment for 30 yrs, retired still have to work to pay!)

Tuition: RM80
(got that cheap meh? i don't think so)

Older children pocket money @ school: RM20
(RM1/day, eat bread?)

School fees: RM30
(enough ah?)

School books and etc: RM100
(always got extra to pay in school)

Younger children milk powder: RM50
(cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive)

Miscellaneous: RM100
(shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper, saman, etc)

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so...
No Astro,
no movie @ cinema,
no DVD,
no CD,
no toys
no computer,
no KFC, no McDonald,
no insurance
no jalan-jalan makan angin (vacation)
no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc...
nothing breaks down for repair
Let's use a calculator to total up... WALAO EH! Shit!RM2,960already...

EPF belum potong, income tax lagi........ oledi RM2,960 ....

How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ???

Our Deputy Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle?

How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study?
Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM3,000/month! !!
What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh...Sorry... it should be Malaysians Boleh, because we're still alive and kicking!!

Our politicians must be mad!!!!

No wonder so many Ah Loong around lah....

Thanks to LH for this as well. Cheers mate... =)

Laughter the Best Medicine... Its Never too Much

2008-07-10T15:36:00.001+08:00

An Israeli doctor says
'Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of
one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks.'

A German doctor says
'That is nothing, we can take a lung out of one person, put it in
another, and have him looking for work in four weeks.

A Russian doctor says
'In my country,
medicine is so far progressed that we can take half a heart out of one
person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two
weeks.'

The Malaysian doctor, not to be outdone, says 'You guys are way behind,
we recently took a man with no brains, out from Kepala Batas, Penang ,
put him in the Parliament for 5 years, and now half the country is
looking for work.'

PS. I got this from my good friend Leik Hong. Cheers mate.

It's All Coming Back to Me Now

2008-07-06T12:14:00.003+08:00

There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the window

There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
Drying up forever

I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made

But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me

There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby Baby

If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
But it's all coming back

There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeper

There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever

But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then

But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me

There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, Baby, Baby

When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now

If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
We see just what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now

And Another...

Fuel Hike... Warning! Maybe, Maybe Not... Part II

2008-06-06T11:27:00.005+08:00

As the 'mourning' goes on and as the anger of the citizens of Malaysia continues raging, there are some extra points to ponder. Maybe by pondering on these points, we might well understand the intentions of the government and not make any unnecessary complaints anymore. It's really not worth the time and effort people.

Now, the price of petrol, technically is not really experiencing a price hike. Well, in Malaysia at least. Look at this from this point of view. The Malaysian government has been giving subsidies all this while right? Stop thinking bout the price increase from the US or the world as a whole, just bring our thoughts back to Malaysia as itself. Price may be increasing other places and all, but if we think bout it deeply, the petrol price is Malaysia has NOT increase at all.

What the government has done has actually just removed the price subsidy. How can we possibly then even say that this is a price hike? The price had remained the same from previous years, we are still very much dependant. Ain't that making any sense now? How can we say that by removing subsidies it means that the price had actually increase. We are just paying more for what we are getting and using, which is morally and rationally proper.

Lets bring this further. Last time around, when we had ultimate subsidies, we enjoyed it and some others say, take 'advantage' of it without realising that the subsidies also comes from us, the taxpayers money. We pay the government taxes, they use it to bring in the subsidies. This also basically means that we have been paying for the petrol or the subsidies that we are enjoying. So, now when they remove it, it doesn't really make of a difference you see. We are still paying for it, the same like we have done before.

From that, people will come up and say, well, it may be the same but then this time around we are still paying the taxes, as well as the petrol, meaning we are paying double. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's practically the use of the rebates that the government is giving out. Get it?

And.... I was reading a report on Star Online with regards to a suggestion by a MP that we should compare the prices of petrol to countries that are producing and exporting petroleum. Those countries include Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and much more. Price of petrol there is cheaper than plain water, no doubt, but then we should really think again, is petroleum our main export? Is our country built on petroleum? We export other things such as 'kelapa sawit', 'getah' and what not. So, how do we compare then?

Why not compare to countries like Mauritius, the US, UK and those other countries that use more petroleum than us, and pay 3-4 times of the price we are paying? Try comparing that and lets see where we will be heading. Will we still complain that petrol price is too high? Honestly, I do not think that there is even a basis for complaining. As the saying goes, 'Don't drive if you can't afford the petrol'. Are we being typical humans once again? Affording a car but never thinking of the consequences? Just buying a car, thinking it will ease our lifes but never wondering for a single moment that we have to pay and really PAY big time for it? Come on people, WAKE UP!

There is no way in Hell, Heaven or Earth that the price of petrol is ever gonna come down. Besides, for us Malaysians, we are still enjoying the best petrol with the cheapest price. *clap clap*. Show some appreciation people. Don't be too dependant anymore. Just because the government reduces a bit of help, we get all uptight and say that the government is making life hard for us. Don't always think bout now, think bout the future as well. Saving all today does not necessary mean a better tomorrow k? Sometimes, its spending more today that ensures a better tomorrow.

Stop complaining for the sake of complaining and let's move on with life. We have more important things to worry about. Why not worry on how to improve the standard of living here? Why not worry about improving the standard of sports in the country. These are the things that will bring our country fame, glory and status. That way, we might not even have to worry bout price increase at all. We will be living a prosperous life in a prosperous country. Then, we should also think about ways to find alternatives to petroleum. This way, maybe all the nonsense can stop as well.

Sincerely, all these baseless complaints are just a waste of time. There is really no way we can reduce petrol price and we should not depend too much on the government. Think bout it, wasn't it the people who said that the government can't be counted on. Wasn't it the people that said that Pak Lah 'tak boleh pakai'? If all our allegations are true, then why make a big fuss when the government removed the subsidies? We do not need them do we? So, move on with life and forget about the subsidies, if so the Malaysian government really 'tak boleh harap'.

In support of petrol price hike,

CK

Fuel Hike... Warning! Maybe, Maybe Not...

2008-06-04T21:25:00.002+08:00

The date is 4th of June 2008, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Dato Seri Abdullah Hj. Ahmad Badawi made a rather shocking but expected announcement. The announcement came to us Malaysians as a "dooms day" kind of announcement. The price of petrol will be increased by 40% by midnight tonight. Not surprisingly, the first thing we Malaysians do is to hit for the nearest petrol station, hoping to get a final bite on the cheap price of petrol that will last for maybe the next one week. Wow... Such an achievement for those who manage to get their hands on these 'cheap' petrol. Needless to say, they are definitely very proud and will say things like:

"Wah, luckily I managed to get. If not tomorrow sure mati."
"Waliau wei. Government crazy ar? Pak Lah no brains ar? Lose election then do like this la?"

Ok guys, reality check. The government ain't crazy, cos YOU are, Pak Lah has got brains, and... Yeap, YOU do not have and its not really because he lost the elections. Lets face it, the elections has got nothing to do with the increase of petrol price. Most importantly, the government is not crazy because its not the government that caused a nationwide jam just because most of us Malaysians are just selfish, kiasu and refuse to accept the reality of life. Imagine everyone packing at the petrol station causing unneccesary jams, with no good reason at all. Yes, the price of petrol is gonna go up, so what? Its not like we can buy these 2 bucks per litre petrol and use them for the rest of our lives right? Come on, saving these 12++ bucks now does not mean a single thing if the price of petrol is gonna continue increasing in years to come.

You rather spend time lining up at the petrol station, burning petrol and causing a terrible jam, which in the end, when you try to get out and move on your way home, you get caught in the same jam you created, burn the same amount of petrol and yeah... It basically means your wait wasn't worth it at all. The best part is, you guys can afford to line up along the highways, major roads and so on without having a single thought of others who may be rushing home or those who are really in need of petrol. Come on, we have to live with reality. We ain't in any fairy tale or Disney Land ladies and gentlemen. We are in Malaysia, a country located on mother earth, created by God, where people do live and die. We do not always 'live happily ever after'.

AND...

For once, I would support the move by the ruling government. Pak Lah, I've got your back. Let's see where I come from. Malaysia is a beautiful country with a wonderful government. Well, when it comes to petrol subsidy at least. We are a nation using one of the best petroleum around and the most interesting part is with the cheapest price. How can we possibly complain any further? Let's take Mauritius for example (I've got a friend from there). This is what I heard from him. Their country uses petrol that at times may not even be suitable for a car or vehicle for that matter. It spoils the engine and causes much problems. To add to their misery, the price of petrol is 2-3 times higher than ours and their standard of living is also way higher. We are basically living in PARADISE, for those who want to have the fairytale feeling, there you have it.

With the amount of subsidy that the government is spending on the nation or rather thirsty draculas of petroleum, we are lacking on so much of developement that may make the country a better place to live in. Then again, many will then crush my opinion by saying that the issue of corruption and misconduct of the funds will arise. Well, to a certain extent, I'll have to agree. Now, which country, in its political struggle will not be involved in corruption? Hence the phrase, 'Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.' This is something we cannot escape from.

Of course, the government has been given 50 years of chance and they are taking things for granted, but this is only true to a certain extent. They are rather traditional and are finding it difficult to cope to the advancement that we are pretty well-equipped with nowadays.

Lets just take everything aside and think rationally for once. Regardless of what happens, too much of subsidy from the goverment will make our country poorer and when our country gets poorer, we suffer. Lets all take this as a short term loss but a long term benefit. The government is still giving rebates accordingly right? They are still caring for us, the people as much as they want to 'make life harder' as most of us will put it.

The increase is the price of petrol is something that we cant avoid. So, lets stop complaining and move on with life aight? Its not that disasterous right? Lets hope that this move is for the better of the country and the people. The money the government saves from reducing the subsidies can be used for so many other things. I may be wrong but lets wait and see. And, Malaysians, for once, please stop all these bad habits. Its bad enough that we have heavy rain nowadays, and accidents happen more oftenly during rainy days. That adds to massive jams and the worst part, we always tend to stop, look but never go! What's wrong. Imagine an accident on the other lane but traffic is smooth but traffic on the non-accident lane is jammed up as if the accident had happened there. Just move and don't look. The numbers of the cars involved in the accident ain't gonna be of any use. Don't count on it.

So, don't add to the misery that we all face everyday coming back from work or study and lets be practical. Yes, the saving is true, save a little today, get a better tomorrow, but as things were going just now on my way back, its more of saving a little today, getting a bitter tomorrow.

I hope the government thru this move will be able to use the money from the subsidies given out all this while and make good use of it for better improvements in the country. Don't dissapoint us again! =)

In support of the increase in fuel price,

CK

Life - Interesting or Unpredictable?

2008-05-06T22:22:00.003+08:00

Imagine this question posted at you. Yes, you. Think bout it properly... Now, what will your ultimate answer be? Is life interesting or unpredictable? Given only these two choices, what will your answer be if you were asked to give a definite answer? Can you give one? You can?? Tell me, how did you come to that conclusion (post in comments...). With that said and done, kindly scroll down, read on and tell me if you agree with what I have to say as my point of view.

Given that choice of answers. I would be dumb-founded and definitely won't be able to give an ultimate answer. This is simply because, life is both interesting and unpredicatable. It's interesting because its unpredicatble and its unpredicatbility makes it interesting. Sounds rather confusing huh? Its simple actually. Life that has been planned out well and all, won't be life. LIFE stands for Life Is For Enjoyment. Imagine a situation where you already know what's gonna happen next. Can you then possible enjoy that moment when it really comes? You'll be expecting it and when it comes, no more surprises, no suspense, no nothing. Long story short, it becomes pure dull.

In addition, LIFE is short. Yes, many people come up to me and say, 'Yeah, life is short. Does that mean we can do everything and anything like there's no tomorrow? Does that mean that we can live life like we are gonna die the next minute?' Well, my answer to them would be, YES and NO. Yes, because we do not know what's gonna happen next in life. It is undeniable that even as I am typing this blog out, I could possibly not have the chance to post it. As we walk our everyday life performing things that we go out to do, we are exposed to so many dangers and uncertainties that may arise anytime of the day.

Sounds convincing huh? Well, hold your horses as here comes the NO part. No is because as much as fate is an essential aspect of our lifes, it does dictate the way we should be, what we should be doing and also how we should be doing it. We lead our own life and what we are in this life, depends what we do and how we do it. This has got nothing to do with fate that has been pre-determined. We can change what we are and what we have. The theory is very simple, as mentioned by my good buddy, Dinesh, "If you were fated to be a gardener for the rest of your life, are you gonna let it be that way or are you gonna change it?". Well, it just shows that as much as life may be fated in a way, we are the ones who have power over our lifes and we control them, therefore, we shape our lifes into what we want them to be.

So, should we then lead life like there's no tomorrow or lead life like we are to live forever and we have all the time in the world to enjoy? Well, we have to always have balance here. This leads me back to my original question. Is life interesting or unpredictable? I guess its the way we lead our lifes that makes it interesting, which means that at times we should really live our lifes like there's no tomorrow. I mean, what's the meaning of life if we are not here to enjoy it? We should make everyday of our life as interesting as the one before and plan for a more interesting on ahead. The part of life being unpredictable means that we should maintain our lifestyle and make sure that we save some for the days to come. We can never be sure of what's gonna happen next, can we?

I guess what I am really trying to say here is this. Life being so interesting and unpredictable has much to offer us. We can never understand life's real intentions until the day we near our time. We live life day by day thinking that something good or bad will happen and most of the times, it just turns out the other way round and we are left with nothing much to say. We just cant expect much nor less. It comes to us as a surprise at times and leaves without leaving a note. These are things in life that we look out for, either for good or bad.

Therefore, we should really cherish what we have now. Its no point going back one day saying, 'I should, I would and I could have'. It makes no difference by that time. What's left then is pure memories and nothing else. Memories are only meant to be kept and there's nothing we can do to revive those memories.

Well, life has much to offer. All its unpredictability makes it all the interesting. We shouldn't be wasting time thinking of things that we are not even sure of. Thinking about what's gonna happen tomorrow when we haven even passed today. Thinking about what's gonna happen to someone else, when we cant even be sure of what's gonna happen to ourselves. We should let life move on as it should and we should just play along. Lead life as it is. Though the many challenges it may bring, these are just interesting parcels of life that we have to endure. Who said everything was easy? If everything was so easy, I wouldnt have to crack my head thinking bout my exams, which will strike me in exactly two weeks time. God will help those who help themselves. Well, I sure do hope God can first help me to help myself. Hahahaha...

I guess all said and done. Life is both interesting and unpredictable. So, never give up on life. Even if we are on the verge of breaking down, hold our heads up strong and move on with life.

"We will never have anything to lose, only everything to gain."

Well, I guess I will have to continue my life then. Got so many other things to do. Revision is one the many important things I have to focus on now. Hope to make it through my exams. I wouldnt wanna disappoint my loved ones who have all the confidence in me, especially my 'special one'.

As the saying goes, 'We live only once. Lets live life.'

Living life,

CK

Lack of Care, Caring Enough or Over-Caring

2008-04-18T20:34:00.006+08:00

As people will always say, too much or too little of something is never the right remedy. This basically means that in whatever we do, we have to always strike the right balance. Easy as it sounds, lets look further into it and see whether can we really strike that right balance.

Lets take a simple example, how much should we really care for a person? Now, no matter what people say, I would like to first state my point of view, which is that we can never care enough for a person, especially the one we deeply love. It can never be enough. I mean, how can we judge the amount of care for that particular person? How can we ever know whether its lacking, enough or when it comes to a stage where caring turns into annoying and irritating?

I'll have to admit, too much of something is never good. If we were to care for someone in the way where we call or msg that person every single minute or every single hour, it would then turn into harrassing that person. This is no doubt. Then, what is it that we should do when we really worry bout that person? Obviously, we would try to get in touch with him/her and then ask bout his/her whereabouts, whether he/she's fine and so on.

ONE HOUR LATER...

Knowing that he/she is somewhere far, in a bad mood, you just keep thinking of him/her and you just feel like getting in touch again. Now, here's where the problem arises. After just an hour, we are worried again. We tend to look at it as a fair thing to do based on our perspective. Well, it does seem fair at the first instance. Nevertheless, it still has the chance of turning into a problem or at times becomes an issue that would be hard to solve within a short period of time.

Don't get me wrong though, I ain't putting the blame on anyone and not saying that anyone is at fault. I guess what I am really trying to say is that we can never find the right balance between not enough, just enough and more than enough. Sometimes, we feel that its the right thing to do and we just do it w/out thinking bout the consequences. At times as well, we tend to really get pretty much worried and because we really care, we act in ways that may be rather unacceptable.

Well, with that said, I guess the main thing that I am trying to conclude here is that the understanding between both parties has to be there.

Having said that as well, I totally agree if anyone out there were to come and tell me that the ultimate solution is the willingness to tolerate and give the special someone the space that he/she needs and deserves. That is simply essential and it leads to many positive things including showing the other party that the faith and trust towards one another is there. It gives both parties freedom, happiness and most of all being able to enjoy the relationship and share the love that they have for one another.

So, I guess, whether its lack of care, caring enough or over-caring... It does not really matter. What matters most is the time that both individuals in the relationship spend with one another and the memories they will bring with them for the rest of their lives. Nothing else matters beyond that. As long as they love one another, there shouldn't be any issue of lacking, enough or beyond enough. Simply said, it will never be enough. No matter how much we do or say, there's never enough of LOVE that can be shared within one another.

P.S. This is an original post. None of its contents have been edited prior to posting. =)

Simply caring,

CK

Opposites Attract

2008-04-16T20:22:00.003+08:00

Mere differences or pure incompatibility? This is gonna be a question for the next few days or few weeks I guess. Well, I really dunno to whom this question should be posted to but I hope that I will be able to answer that question thru this post.

There will definitely come a time when in any relationship, we will notice differences between us and we tend to post the question on whether do we really fit one another and should we really proceed with what we have now. Frequently, we tend to arrive at the conclusion that we are imcompatible with one another and we just do not suit one another. However, I really beg to differ.

I rather call this mere differences. Differences that will pull us closer to one another and not further apart. Imagine a situation where we will are both having the same attitude, same character, and same needs. Yes, we might then say that it would be a perfect life. However, thinking back properly, is really being all the way the same gonna make our lifes perfect??

Take a very simple example. If both have the attitude where we are fine if we don't see each other and don't contact one another for some period of time, then it would lead to both just not contacting one another for a time beyond imagination right? If one party is having the above character and the other constantly or rather have a slightly different attitude where he or she needs someone there by his or her side, don't you think that things will definitely be better?? This way, it will lead to both parties being able to compromise and fill up the gaps that either party cant provide to one another. The one that needs space will make sure space given in that relationsip is essential, whilst the one who needs attention and care will make sure that the relationsip will constantly blossom and never die off.

As for providing what the other party needs, I guess its not a question of whether can we provide what the other party needs. Cos I strongly believe that what a an individual really needs in any relationship is a very simple thing. Every individual will only NEED one another. As long as that is fulfilled, I don't see a problem to bring the relationship further.

Yes, at times, there may be demands and needs that we fill we can fulfill. However, if we think properly and take things slowly, these demands and needs are mere wants. If we really care bout the one we love, we will tend to fill up these empty gaps and by the end of the day still provide enough consideration and fulfill all these wants. Its all a learning process that both have to endure. Nonetheless, the endurance will only be a short one.

The moment I set foot on this path, I have told myself time and time again to learn and make my way up to proving to you that I really can make it. I really NEED you in my life and I am willing to do anything in my powers to change the past that were bad and maintain the present that is good.

I admit that I do not know the right way to treat you yet. Well, I guess that shows that I am that innocent when it comes to any relationship right?? =)

I just want to give you the best and I am learning how to give it to you in a way that is the best and most comfortable for you. Things may not always turn out the way it should be. So, tell me what I can do to make things better. Again, I strongly believe that since the day I met you, you are the one for me. Was, is and always will be.

Opposites will always attract. I believe that being ourselves will be the best way to make sure the relationship goes further. This way, we have nothing to hide, all to show and most importantly it all comes from the bottom of the heart. It will all be pure SINCERITY.

Forever yours.

Victim of My Own Wrongs

2008-04-07T12:29:00.002+08:00

Time and time again as we go thru in life, its funny to realise that most of what, where and who we are now is not the result of anything or anyone else but more of ourselves. We decide our own future, dictate our own lifes and although at times we may put the blame on external factors, it is still ourselves that does the wrong doings in the end. Therefore, it would be fair to say then that we are victims of our own wrongs.

It happened to me just recently. Things were going well until one particular moment when I let emotions got the better of me. Well, the real fact is I was really feeling very down to the extent that tears were the only answer. I did not know wat was really going thru my mind at that moment. All I could ever think bout was to talk to someone. Someone who meant a lot to me. No prizes for guessing, as an ordinary guy in much need of that someone, I did the next best thing; calls after calls after calls.

The only thing on my mind at that moment was I really needed that someone by my side. It did not came to my mind that it was so late at night, that someone was terribly busy and all the things I have mentioned before just fell out of reach. Yes, maybe some will say that I may have a good explanation and a good reason for what I have done. However, if I had just controlled my emotions and became more understanding in that situation, all these wouldn't have conspired.

Yes, as much as we need that particular someone by our sides at times of real needs, it doesn't mean that we can deprive that someone of their own space and time. Nevertheless, I am very much confident that this time around, it has nothing to do with the three devils that I have once mentioned before (ie: jealousy, sensitivity, security). All I needed last night was just a slight moment more with someone.

I hope that this explanation of mine could be accepted. That was purely how I felt that time and that was purely what I had on mind, nothing else. It never came to mind that I wanted to push things further nor make things worst. I am sorry for giving the wrong impression and it hurt you that much. I am terribly terribly sorry...

Please forgive me, I know not what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
Please forgive me, if I need you like I do
Please believe me, every word I say is true

Much apologies,

CK

All For You

2008-04-05T00:32:00.003+08:00

A perfect life, a perfect start and a perfect ending. This is what everyone out there would wish to achieve in their lifetime. Well, for me, a perfect life would be something rather out of reach. As well as a perfect start and ending. This is because, we only tend to think bout achieving something perfect after we have reached a certain stage in life. Early 20's, early 30's, 40's, maybe even only when we are about to bid our final farewell. Imagine bout the many imperfect things that we have committed before we came to think bout enjoying a perfect life. Something perfect would mean perfect from the moment it was created until the day it is no longer in use.

That's why for me, I am concerned only at giving you the best I can. All the promises that I have made thus far, well, having to admit, not many I can keep. Especially when the missing feeling is making my heart beat faster every minute without your presence. I guess that's something I really have to learn to live with, because I truly understand that I can't possibly be keeping you to my side without giving you the space that you really need. There's always a give and take in everything that we do, what more a relationship. Loving someone is not to control that someone but to trust and let both have equal chances to enjoy the relationship.

As for changing to suit either one, I sincerely feel that this is not something to worry about. Its more of tolerating one another and being ourselves. Cos when we are talking bout changing to suit or suiting to change, it basically means that we are accepting one another for who we are and the things that we do. As long as we are open and honest to one another, I don't see how we can go wrong.

One thing for sure, I will always be myself (Except for those times when I actually became a totally different person la... Those had good reasons k? Nevertheless, I am very sorry for those, as I know it hurt badly).

Many a times before I have said this, but rest assured, things will definitely change for the better. As I am writing this post, something is already about to change. I hope that this would lead to a better and smoother path ahead. As I have mentioned previously as well. Regardless of the amount of effort, time, committment, and sacrifice that I had, am and will put in, I will never get tired or sick of it.

Its merely because I strongly, truly and sincerely BELIEVE in YOU. Its because I believe in US. Its because I am VERY serious in pursuing this dream. Never again will I be able to find such a dream I would want to make a reality. I believe that we share the same dream as well. Only time will tell and prove to you that what I am saying here today is true.

Remember, it always takes two to complete this dream. Until the day that this dream comes true, rest assured that I will always be here, never leaving your side.

"It takes two to tango; So, take me to the dance floor and lets dance the night away."

You mean everything to me, and everything is in YOU.

Until then, I shall work my way up to be able to suit all your needs and never becoming someone else. I am always myself, I am always Calvin Khoo. Was, Is and Will Be...

With much love,

CK

IF - Rudyard Kipling

2008-04-04T18:22:00.005+08:00

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

-Rudyard Kipling-

Only Love

2008-04-03T12:43:00.002+08:00

2am and the rain is falling
Here we are at the crossroads once again
You're telling me you're so confused
You can't make up your mind
Is this meant to be
You're asking me

But only love can say
Try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I just play my part
Pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can make you see it through
That's something only love can do

In your arms as the dawn is breaking
Face to face and a thousand miles apart
I've tried my best to make you see
There's hope beyond the pain
If we give enough
If we learn to trust

But only love can say
Try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I just play my part
Pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can make you see it through
That's something only love can do

I know if I could find the words
To touch you deep inside
You'll give my dreams just one more chance
To let this be our last goodbye

But only love can say
Try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I just play my part
Pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can make you see it through
That's something only love can do

That's something only love can do

With love,

CK

Heaven By Your Side

2008-04-03T12:40:00.001+08:00

You and I, cannot hide
The love we feel inside
The words we need to say

I feel that I
Have always walked alone
But now that you're here with me
There'll always be a place that I can go

Suddenly our destiny
Has started to unfold

When you're next to me
I can see the greatest story
Love has ever told

Now my life is blessed with
The love of an angel

How can it be true?
Somebody to keep the dream alive
The dream I found in you

I always thought that love would be
The strangest thing to me

But when we touch, I realise
That I found my place in heaven by your side

I could fly, when you smile
I'd walk a thousand miles to hear you
Call my name
Now that I have finally found the
one who will be there for me eternally
My everlasting sun

Suddenly our destiny has started
to unfold

When you're next to me I can
See the greatest story love has ever
told

Now my life is blessed with
The love of an angel

How can it be true?
Somebody to keep the dream alive
The dream I found in you

I always thought that love would be
The strangest thing to me

But when we touch, I realise that I
Found my place in heaven by your side
That I found my place in heaven by
your side

Heaven by your side, heaven by
your side, heaven by your side

When you're next to me, I can see
The greatest story love has ever told

Now my life is blessed with
The love of an angel

How can it be true?
Somebody to keep the dream alive
The dream I found in you

I always thought that love would be
The strangest thing to me

But when we touch, I realise that I
Found my place in heaven by your side

Now my life is blessed with
The love of an angel

Heaven by your side
Somebody to keep the dream alive
The dream I found in you

I always thought that love would be
The strangest thing to me

But when we touch, I realise that I
Found my place in heaven by your side

Yours,

CK

What Should I Do??

2008-04-02T20:18:00.000+08:00

Well, things had been going rather well for the past few days. Never before did I imagine it would result in such a situation like now. Currently, I am putting all the blame on me. May it be really my fault or may it be not, I am putting all the blame on me.

It may sound rather silly of me but if I was firm on the first instance, this would not had happened. I should have just told the truth from the beginning. Rather than hiding it away, fearing of losing a friend. I may sound selfish and arrogant in saying that friends should be kept away when it comes to situations like this but this is how I sincerely feel.

It's really not worth it to allow a beautiful story from beginning its tales because of issues that were never meant to be in between the both of us. These issues should just be written off like how the wind brushes the sand away and move on. At the end of the day, its not gonna be fair as well; not only for me but also for you.

I guess the main point here is that we shouldn't let others decide nor affect on our future. Yes, I know and truly understand that we have talked over this time and time again. I really understand everything we have talked bout and I really hope that things will continue to be smooth between us without the presence of unnecessary issues.

Yes, all those issues have long gone and I know I shouldn't mention it anymore. I promise that this post will be the last time I am ever gonna mention bout all those again. I sincerely hope that from here onwards, we can really make it thru and lead a happy life together.

Only time can tell how much I really mean everything I say. As long as you're willing to give me the time I need to prove it all to you, I am very confident and certain that I can really make it. Remember you told me that nothing is ever impossbile for me? Well, what you said was, is and will be true.

Well, in this post as well, I had oftenly used the words should and shouldn't. I really hope you could tell me what I should and shouldn't do. What do you expect from me? Anything at all, I am sure I can work my way to suiting you. The amount of confidence I have in me and you is way beyond what words can describe.

Tell me wat to do... =)

With love,

CK

Specially For You

2008-04-01T20:18:00.000+08:00

Times has been rough the past few days, especially the night before when things really got out of hand. I wasn't myself and I just showed a totally different side of me. On one hand, I am rather glad that I could actually show you my true colours in any way possible. However, on the other hand, I am actually very worried that it would affect our future and most importantly the present that we so cherished.

I may be right, I may be wrong for those that I have mentioned above, but that's what I really feel inside and I hope that it would really become a reality. That's the reason I am writing this post and dedicating it specially to you.

I would rather change to suit you, rather than you adopting to me and who I am. Yes, true and fair enough that in any relationship, both parties should understand one another and try to suit each others needs. Well, maybe it's because I really put alot of importance on you. Words can never explain how much you mean to me.

I really thank you for giving me a new meaning of life again. Motivating me to achieve greater heights, be it for me, you or the both of us, granting me the spirit and power to always think that the impossible is never out of reach. Most importantly, you gave me something very important that I strongly believe nobody can take away. You gave me a simple thing called LOVE and CARE.

Everynight I pray and hope that we can both really make it in the near future. I am all ready and the confidence level in me is building day by day. I have to admit as well that, I did committed huge mistakes that seemed rather unforgivable at that particular moment. Nevertheless, you never gave up on me and gave me chance and chance again to change myself and make things better for the both of us. I really THANK you for that.

With that on mind, there's nothing more I can say now than to tell u these three words that I really mean from the bottom of my heart.

I LOVE YOU... =)

PS. Sorry for all the mistakes I committed that have hurt you. I made a promise to you that I would change. This promise I shall keep inside me and on my mind for the rest of my life. Please forgive me...

With love,

CK

Meaning of My Life

2008-03-31T20:15:00.000+08:00

Everyday of my life begins with a very simple breakfast, followed by a long but rather quick journey to college. Classes will start everyday without fail, and before I know it, I am on my way back home, where I'll have to continue with my studies (more importantly now as exams are nearing in May). This is basically how things were for the past one year or so.

It wasn't until very recently that I found a very special person that brought a change to my life. This very special person not only brought a change (as mentioned in my previous post), this person also gave me a meaning in life. Gone are the days where I only have my family, friends, studies and club whom were there to fill my time and advance daily without fear of boringness nor without meaning.

Now, not only do I have this person to always be there for me, SHE has also given me a meaning in life. SHE is the meaning of MY LIFE. I look forward to the start of every brand new day now. Every morning is a brand new exciting start for me. I always look forward to what new areas will we venture into, what new happenings that would bring us closer to one another and most importantly, looking forward to the day when she would finally be mine.

I have never felt so motivated before in my entire life. Studying had always been a mountain-climbing task for me, but now no more. I sit down in front of my study table everynight without fail, go thru a few chapters and prepare myself for my upcoming examinations with one thing in mind. Do it right, do it good!

Gone too are the days where I feel so dejected, bored with life and see no reason in continuing my long and winding journey. Yes, obstacles has always been there as life is never perfect. There are times where I admit, I have done things so seemingly wrong that I really regret in the end. Well, I really hope that thru this post, SHE could understand my wrong doings and forgive me.

Whenever things do not work out the way it is supposed to be, I hope that YOU could let me know, discuss about it and find a solution that will make things better for the both of us. Many a times before I have said, and I shall say it again; 'There is only one way for us, which is forward, to a place where we could both be happy together for the rest of our lives'.

P.S. Not trying to impose any stress k?? I remember everything I said, don't worry... =)

With Love,

CK

Criminal Law - Class at LHH

2008-03-26T20:38:00.000+08:00

Well, its time for some fun post after the much sweet posts dedicated to my special someone. =)

We had criminal law class today and I bet it has to be one of the most funniest, exciting, hilarious, fun-filled and interesting classes yet. We were doing a tutorial question on Sexual Offences. Now, sexual offences is governed by the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (SOA 2003). This act clearly states the conditions in where an individual can be liable for sexual acts that he carries out on another individual.

As we were going through the question, it came to a point where the class was so hyped-out because the case given was rather stimulating I would say. It was regarding a guy who was deeply involved in a cult, which strongly believes that women always want sex and its the duty of its members to provide such satisfaction.

Discussion was rather slow and quiet at the beginning until a rather simple question was raised and the fun just started. One of my classmate was commenting on the fact that it wasn't stated in the case whether penetration occured (ie: penetration is required to prove an offence under the Sexual Offences Act - depending on the section).

My lecturer then said that he had to agree and it also wasn't really sure if the individual mentioned in the case was a HE or a SHE, or rather a HE-SHE. So, it is fair to say that we cant really prove that penetration had occured. However, he did say that we should always take it as face value, knowing the fact that the act itself, accademically does not accept the situation whereby a man can be raped.

From nowehere, the same classmate made this very interesting and hillarious statement:

Classmate: If that person is a he-she, that person should be called an IT and not HE or SHE. Its an IT.

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!! *seriously hope you guys get the joke*

That's all for now...

Jealousy, Sensitivity, Security

2008-03-24T21:26:00.000+08:00

The title itself describes mainly what this post is about. Well, LOVE may always be the answer in certain situations but as in most relationships, the three main devils above always arises and tends to create a problem if not handled with care.

I am very glad and thankful that it did not turned out into a serious argument as I thought it would be when the above matter was brought to both our attention. I have to admit, I do tend to start thinking off-track at times but I am sure I can control myself in the future. Give me some time k?

The trust and faith is always there and it has never gotten any less. This I can assure you. Its just that at times I really have a certain feeling in me that makes me feel uncomfortable. I dare not ask for anything from you as I really do not want to be pushy and start giving you the impression that I am a very controlling person. Things I have promised you thus far, I shall keep it and it shall remain intact in me.

I really hope and pray that these three things will not keep haunting me. Although LOVE may be the only greatest thing I could proved right now, I am pretty sure I can provide three more very important things in contrast to the above:

1) Care
2) Attention
3) ME... =)

Love you...

CK

Quando, Quando, Quando

2008-03-22T22:28:00.000+08:00

Tell me when will you be mine,
Tell me Quando, Quando, Quando,
We can share our love divine,
Please don't make me wait again...

When will you say yes to me?
Tell me Quando, Quando, Quando,
You mean happiness to me,
Oh my darling tell me when...

Hahaha... I just feel like posting everyday now... I am so in the mood. =)

Thank you for making my life sweet and interesting again. U brought a real change in me and I hope u will stay to make sure this change goes on forever...

Lots of love,

CK

L.O.V.E

2008-03-21T21:43:00.000+08:00

L - is for the way you LOOK at me.
O - is for the ONLY ONE I see.
V - is VERY VERY extraordinary.
E - is EVEN more than anything that you adore can...

Love is in the air this time around. With the moonlight brightly enlightening the dark shadows of the night and stars shining like never before, a special moment that deserves all the space that memory can hold forever and ever sparkled.

Well, as sweet as it may sound, things do not always run that smooth. Obstacles will always arise to provide challenge to one's life.

As the saying goes, 'Whatever will be, will be; Que Sera Sera'.

What I can do now is to continue playing my part and hope that one day she will be mine. Whatever I had mentioned before, I sincerely meant it from the bottom of my heart. Only time will prove that everything I said is true and only thru my actions can I prove my love to you.

I hope the day will come soon that I can then be able to shower you with all the love I can give.

Love you...

UOL - Intermediate Examinations

2008-03-19T20:44:00.000+08:00

Well, the title itself says it all.

My first MAJOR examinations since I entered Uni is finally just around the corner. Its gonna involve four MAJOR characters, which namely are:

1) Public Law
2) Elements of the Law of Contract
3) Common Law, Reasoning & Institutions
4) Criminal Law

Out of the 4 mentioned above, I only am confident of taking the Contract and Public Law paper. How sad can this be?? OMG OMG.... I have no motivation to study and I got no idea what to study. There's no moving factor to push me to really study. Its really getting very scary.

I guess my friends have to be doing much better than me. They seem to know the law at their fingertips, or at least I think so. Hmmm... How am I to go thru this part of my life??

Study Calvin, Study...

Marriage as defined by "Contract Law"

2008-01-12T22:20:00.000+08:00

Me and my friend, Xiaoheng has this plan of really writting a 'book'. We do hope it can become a reality. We are trying to define a r.ship between a guy and a gal; ie: mostly based on marriage using the terms in Contract Law.

Please leave a comment if anyone has better suggestions k?? These are just preliminary and we are looking into furnishing it further.

Offer*
- when a guy makes a proposal towards to gal.
- takes place when the guy 'pops' the 'question', ie: either for marriage or to begin a relationship.

Acceptance*
- when the gal accepts the proposal and says 'yes' or in certain cases, does not literally mention 'yes' but shows her interest or acceptance in a mutually understood method.
- accepts the ring, which is given by the guy

Consideration*
- Consideration is a reason for enforcing the marriage. It happens when a girl agrees to a guy that she will marry him. The guy in return gives the girl a ring as a form of consideration.
Another example of consideration is when the parents of the girl agrees to the guy that he could marry their daughter.
- Consideration must be sufficient but need not be adequate. Under this heading, dowries given by the guy's family to the girl's family need not be high in value, a small value item would be deem by the court as sufficient to amount as the dowry for the marriage.
- Consideration must move from the parties. Each party must act on their promise and do their equal part of bargaining in the contract.

Misrepresentation*
- applies to both the guy and gal
- Gal: when she misrepresents her current status, ie: is engaged in another relationship but nevertheless starts another.
- Gal: when she misrepresents her condition, ie: been engaged in conducts that may not be acceptable by the guy, but fraudulently misrepresented it.
- Guy: when he misrepresents his current status, ie: is engaged in another relationship but nevertheless starts another.
- Only fraudulent misrepresentation will be accounted for; negligent misrepresentation is NOT applicable

Rescission*
- Can only take place under the few circumstances below:
a) If restitution is possible
b) Within a reasonable time frame

Intention to create legal relation*
This is divided into two types:
1) Social/Business Relations
- Whenever a social/business marriage contract is made, it is always presumed that both parties had not intended to be engaged in a legal relation.

The Long Goodbye

2007-12-17T16:06:00.000+08:00

I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free (so they say)
But it sure is hard to do
Yeah, it sure is hard to do
And I know they say if they don't come back again
Then it's meant to be (so they say)
But those words ain't pulling me through
Cos I'm still in love with you
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
But it's just you and me going through the mill
(climbin' up a hill)

This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
No matter how hard I try
You're gonna make me cry
Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye

Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
Give our love a chance (just one more chance)
and I know without a doubt
I turned it inside out
And if we walked away
would make more sense (only self defense)
But it tears me up inside
Just to think we still could try
How long must we keep riding on a carousel
Going round and round and never getting anywhere?
(on a wing and prayer)

This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
No matter how hard I try
You're gonna make me cry
Come on, baby, it's over, Let's face it
All that's happening here is the long goodbye

The long goodbye
The long goodbye
This is the long goodbye

Someone please tell me why

Are you ever coming back again
Are you ever coming back again
Are you ever coming back again
Guess I'm never coming back again

Who Am I??

2007-12-07T12:36:00.000+08:00

Its been awhile since I last updated my post... I know its all bout writing, but I jus don have any pics... =)

Anyway, its really been some time this question has been stucked in my mind. The decisions I am making today and even this very moment I am typing this post out, is it the decision made by ME or someone else in me??

Will I regret the choices I make when I look back few years from now?? I dunno how many have I dissapointed these past few weeks actually. I have always tried to please everyone and always forgetting bout myself. Is it then now time for me to really be myself?? To not care bout anyone and anything else??

I wouldn't say I'm a successful person, because I am not. I am not indispensable; I can be thrown out the window anytime, anyhow, by anyone.

Now as time goes by, I have learn one very important lesson in life. Please yourself before even thinking to please others. Think bout yourself first, and not others. Take care of yourself before even thinkin bout taking care of others...

As far as now, I have a ONLY these priorities on my mind. First of all my loved one (you know who you are), studies and of cos last but not least my club...

This is how things would remain for some time to come I guess....

Sorry to those I have dissapointed along the way by making this choice. Its too important for me to let go and I don't think I would let go...

"A 'NO' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'YES' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble"

My Way

2007-10-29T22:02:00.000+08:00

I guess the title itself explains a lot. The lyrics to this wonderful song too tells a lot.

I never had a perfect life laid in front of me. I guess not many out there would have any. For those who have enjoyed a perfect life thus far, do appreciate it and never let it go.

I have and had everythin I could ever want in my life though. I achieved things that many would think impossible for me to do. I always believe in one very simple thing in life, 'Nothing is Impossible'. So as long as we try, we can definitely do it. Yes, I admit that i might and would complaint at times, but by the end of the day, its not our complaints that will move things and make things work. Its our effort and creativity that makes the world move round.

Many times before, I had loved and lost the most important people in my life. All this time, whenever I lost someone, I would really feel so down, lifeless and I just felt that its the end of the world. I wanted to just kill myself and forget bout all the sorrows in the world.

Yet, I am still here today, writting this blog, unleashing my deepest emotions and hopefully through sharing, I would be able to care for many others outside who are feeling down and just feel that the world has turned down on them.

The first breakdown I faced was when I lost my first love. She was the only one I had in my life, I gave her everything, and i really mean everything. Never had I fail to fulfill her wishes and all she wanted, I would provide. There wasn't a moment of couldn't, because I always would. Well, nothing lasts forever I guess, and now, no prizes for guessing, I am living a single, bachelor life.

I will continue that story maybe another day. =)

Now, I am living a totally different life. Everyday its college, Rotaract, college, Rotaract. Well, that doesnt mean I do not have a personal life though. I still go out for dinners and drinks once in awhile. This is something i learn from my very good friend, Dinesh, 'Freedom Through Responsibility'. Following that, my another good friend Bernard also thought me one good lesson in life, 'You are who you are, do what you are best at and never ever try to IMPRESS.' These two lessons have paved the way for me to embark further in life and to grow more mature.

Through that, it made me realise that the best way to do anything is to do it your own way. I had always believed that doing things myself would be the best policy. Its not that I dont trust anyone else, but its jus me. I am not willing to pass things to others when I know that it just would not live up to my expectations.

In addition, I also have the tendency to only ask once for something to be done. Its either it is carried out with full dedication, or else do not give me high and low stories. I would not have time to entertain that. If anyone wants any EGO, do something that is worth that EGO. If there's nothing you can do, then you can take ur EGO with you and go fly kites...

TO BE CONTINUED...

Will there EVER be IMPROVEMENT??

2007-10-19T18:41:00.000+08:00

As I stated in my first blog, I had actually made bookings for the new Proton Persona. I've been waiting for the car to arrive for almost two months now (the time frame I was promised for the delivery of the car).

If anyone can remember, Proton had actually "taken" away my choice of colour, which was metal grey. It was rather irrational for them to do so, as metal grey is the favourable colour and the "in" colour that Proton has been offering. In addition to that, they also took off the colour from the high-line Proton Personas. I mean, of all the lines to remove somethin, you choose the high-line and remove stuff??? Isn't this just irrational and unacceptable??

Well, the story doesn't stop just there. So, the two months has actually passed and a call has been made to my still-forgiveable-salesman (still forgiveable because it's not really his fault), and the explanation he gave was, Proton has now decided to produce the low-line Proton Personas first. This means, the medium-line and high-line wants are left stranded without production. Summing it all up, waiting for the delivery of the car has now been pushed all the way till "before the end of this year".

Where is the rationale here?? What do they mean by producing the low-line cars first?? Does this mean that I did not purchase a car from them?? Does this mean that only by purchasing the low-line cars, we will be served better?? How can they ever improve then?? Expecting everyone in the country to only go for the lower band cars and not even look at the higher ends?? Is this then showing the nation that Proton can only produce low end cars?? With all due respect, all customers of Proton, such a big organisation should be treated the same! Why is there now a difference in treatment??

This is really something I cant manage to think off a appropriate reason, even to explain the matter and at least console myself and tell myself it's somethin normal. Purchasing a lower-end product, gives you better service and treatment, but purchasing a higher-end product gives you no respect and not even a fair treatment??!!

So, with the new car out, everyone gives Proton full faith and trust once again and this is how they treat their customers?? Coming out with all the promotions, doing a great job I have to admit (to return their status in the car production market in Malaysia), and they ruin it all by their lack in after sales service?? I really wonder will there ever be any improvement in the standard of Proton as the national car maker of Malaysia.

I dare say, if this were to continue, they will just fall in the standards once again and it would be hard for them to come up once again. They had their chances and they just wasted it. This may sound personal, but if this were to happen to many more out there, imagine the severity it would bring to the image that Proton will carry for as long as they are still in existence.

IMPROVEMENT may just never come!!

Dissappointed,

Blood Donation Drive (Another Unlucky Day)

2007-10-15T22:51:00.000+08:00

I guess I have to say that this is another bad day for me. =( I agreed with my club to follow them the National Blood Bank(NBB), to donate blood.

Now, I don't really have a good experience with donating blood though. The last time I donated was back in INTI Subang, where i studied for my A-Levels. That time, me and my friend decided to do some good to society. Being healthy and after the various checks carried out, I was eligible for donating.

It started quite well, with the encouragement from all my friends there that day, I actually did not really feel the pain of the needle pooking into my arm. So, blood started flowing out from me, and the bag was starting to be filled. I was rather ok still at that moment, chatting with my friends and still being able to joke around.

Suddenly, I felt dizzy. I began to feel like fainting, cos my vision was blurred. So, I called the nurse up and told her i wasn't feeling right and she quickly stopped the blood from flowing and remove the bag from me. I was then left to lie down, with my head tilted back, to let the blood in my body flow again.

With that bad experience always in mind, I went to the NBB today with fear and insecurity. It went well through the registration process; they had my record actually, and when I was waiting for my turn to be called to enter the blood donation area, my hands began to became very cold(maybe that explains my name-Iceman). Hehehe.

Well, my number obviously got called anyway, so all of us went in and I was asked to sit on that same chair that I almost fainted on the last time. Only difference is that this chair was much more nicer, and the facilities there were much more advanced. The same process started and my hands were still very cold.

Blood was pumping out of me with high speed again. The bag was filling up and everything went well this time. I did not fell uneasy and did not had any feeling of fainting. The bag was then eventually filled up, and it was time to remove the needle in my arm(this needle is actually connected to the blood bag and it channels blood from the body to the bag).

Removing was ok, and I was prepared to leave the chair when I jus felt like fainting again. I really dunno what's the matter. During all the checks, even with the doctor, my condition was great(I have high amounts of hemoglobin, my blood pressure is good, my weight is wonderful(I think so... Hahaha) and well, to make it simple everything was a go for me.

So, once again i was left to lie down with my head tilted slightly to the back. This was rather embarassing though. In front of so many people, how could this happen to me?? My goodness...

Until now, as I am writing this blog, I am still feelin rather weak and I think i really need to take an early rest. They gave some ion pills after the donation and I am supposed to take once everyday after a meal. I jus don't know what the outcome of that will be. I just hope I don't get anymore bad experiences.

Sigh....

Unlucky, unlucky Day... =(

2007-10-14T10:33:00.000+08:00

Hmmm, I guess this is just not the day for me (Saturday, 13/10/2007).

It started off quite well in the morning, I woke up rather early and settled all my stuff... Well, actualyl not all my stuff, I still have my conference budget left unattended and also tickets to print. Just got lazy i guess.

That wasn't really the bad part. Now, my family has this 'mahjong' set, so we would normally play during the weekends when we are free and can't think of anything to do. At times, we just feel like staying at home, cos there's nowhere to go and nothing to buy.

So, that was what happened yesterday. We started playing around noon. I was rather ok in the beginning. Was winning and everything went well.

Then, all of the sudden, luck was really not on my side, and it jus started to continue moving further away from me. I lost, lost, lost and continued lossing all the way till the night. We didn't really played non-stop though; had stops here and there. Then also went to my grandma's place, which is actually one of my family's weekly activities, we do it every Saturday.

When we came home in the night, we had 2-3 more sessions of 'mahjong' and yes, you've guessed it, I lost everything again. It came to a total of RM150 of losses. Imagine the amount of stuff I can and could have done with that amount of money.

However, I guess life does go on, so shouldn't complain much. I agreed to play in the first place after all. Hehehe. Will be playing again today. Wish me all the best ya!! At least get back what I have lost. I will be happy.

Still feeling sad,

CK

Monkey Business

2007-10-12T22:34:00.000+08:00

Check this out...

Once upon a time there was a nice young man called Karim. He used
to sell caps for a living, and roam around several villages. One day he
would be in Mughalsarai, the other day people would find him in Faizabad.

It was an afternoon in summer and he was traversing the vast plains
when he felt tired and wanted to have a nap. He found a nice mango
tree with lots of branches and cool shade, placed his bag of caps
beside him and went to sleep.

Tired as he was, he was quickly fast asleep. When he woke up after
a refreshing little nap, he found that there weren't any caps in his
bag! "Oh, Allah!", he said to himself, "Did the thieves have to find me of all
people?" But then he noticed that the mango tree was full of cute
monkeys wearing colourful caps!

He yelled at the monkeys and they screamed back. He made faces at
them and found the monkeys to be experts at that. He threw a stone at
them and they showered him with raw mangoes.

"Ya Allah, how do I get my caps back," he said. Frustrated, he took
off his own cap and slammed it on the ground. And lo, the stupid
monkeys threw their caps too! Smart Karim didn't waste a second,
collected the caps and was on his way.


50 Years later ....

Young Abdul, grandson of famous topiwala Karim who was also
working hard at making $$$ doing his family business, was going through the
same jungle. After a long walk he was very tired and found a nice
mango tree with lots of branches and cool shade. Abdul decided to
rest a while and very soon was fast asleep. A few hours later, when
Abdul woke up, he realised that all the caps from his bag were gone!
Abdul started searching for the same and to his surprise found some
monkeys sitting on mango tree wearing his caps. Abdul was
frustrated and didn't know what to do. And then he remembered a story his
grandfathers proudly used to let him.

"Yes!!!! I can fool these monkeys!!!", said Abdul. "I'll make them
imitate me and very soon I'll get all my caps back!"

Abdul waved at the monkeys    -- the Monkeys waved at Abdul
Abdul blew his nose               -- the Monkeys blew their noses
Abdul started dancing            -- the Monkeys were also dancing
Abdul pulled his ears                -- the Monkeys pulled their ears
Abdul raised his hands            -- the Monkeys raised their hands
Abdul threw his cap on the ground ............
........ one of the monkeys jumped down from the tree, picked the
cap, walked upto Abdul; slapped him and said "Idiot!!! Do you think
ONLY YOU HAVE A GRANDFATHER?????"

Holidays or Hell-days??

2007-10-12T21:56:00.000+08:00

Hmmm, this would be my first post for my first blog. I think it's cos the holidays are here. I am not a too fond person of a blog actually. I don really have the time in the past do maintain a blog (if i had one).

Anyway, I guess this is gonna be a good way for me to go through my holidays or hell-days with at least something to do.

Its gonna be bout ten days of holidays. If my car was here, then I don think I would be writing this blog here. I was promised delivery of the car like within this month before Raya and yet it hasnt arrived. I dunno wats taking them so long. And as always before this, I don have easy access to anywhere I wanna go.

That's how the hell-days thing came about. Imagine having 10 days of freedom and with nothing to do?? Maybe I am just complaining too much. Hmmm... Argh!!! I just dunno wat to write, that's why i am yapping all the way here... Let this be the first and hopefully i can come out with better wans once I get warmed up... Hahaha..

That's all for now,

CK
