Well, hello there! Welcome back~

A little catch up on my life here. Its been almost a year since I write. Yet this entry still feels empty. Not that my life is not exciting as others, it's just less open from others. There's not going to be much visual here so use your imagination well.

When we last stop, I was serving my internship. Although its quite far from home, its one of the laziest journey I ever been on my life. Met lots of new Indian friends and learn things that shocked my life. "The things I learnt in varsity does not prepare me for the working world." For those who is on the path going into university, people around you will tell you that university is like your stepping stone to your real life. I have to disagree with that statement to a certain degree. To me, universities are like schools - CAGES. Food will be given. Knowledge will be given. Shit will be taken. Same routine, same life, everything is the same except the cage is bigger. However unlike school cages, these cages are very unique, they have this dark black holes at each corner of the cage. These black holes are like the matrix. It's good. It's bad. It's neutral too. For those who got comfortable with living in cages will not pursue the hole, therefore it's neutral. For those with the CURIOUS mind will want to find out what's on the other side. Now the hole is like a maze, you might get lost there. Thats the bad news. However, with strong WILL, you will make connections with other fellow maze players - some are playing as New Game+ (if you don't know what does this means, then you never finish a story mode game before - noob~), they know what is going to happen, where is the exit and they are more prepared than you. Make a NETWORK of them so next time when you bump into another dead end, there are people who just give up and there are people who will turn around and start the journey again. Follow the one turn around, when you finally reach the exit, your real life begins. So in short summary, CAGES ARE NOT FIRST STEP, MAZE IS.

I only knew this on my final year after my intern. For those who is on the same page with me, it is still not too late to start the maze now. This semester is my last one, I have been attending conference and do some travelling around. Well, I know what you will say... "But we are only students, how can we find money to travel??" Let me tell you something. There's a glass filled with water to the half. Normally people here will argue about half empty or half full thing. For me, I drink it while you people are arguing. Lesson here is: Don't take things for granted, seize that oppurtunity.

Aluba

Image
For some of you not living in Asia, you might not know this but Aluba is a famous 'offering' one MAN has to 'deal' with. This normally occurs to male high school students in Asia and not recommend to perform on a female. Origins of the name came from Japan, other parts of Asia called it differently like Aruba in Taiwan and Happy Corner in Hong Kong. I'm surprised that they even has a wiki page for this (if you can read mandarin) Here comes the definition: Aluba is a student prank where you need to gather at least 4 person on pounce on a particular victim. Grab hold of his arms and legs. Spread his legs wide and ramp his groin against something thin, hard, rod-like and able to take a beating of the groin like a lamp post, a supporting cylinder wall or even the edge of a door. Repeat the 'ramping' process until all of you (except the victim) are satisfied. Sometimes the offering does not ends here, you may offer the victim to your "Holy" ro

So High vs. Sohai

Yes! First test 1 paper is over and inspirations starts flowing in again. After having read one of my good friends blog post. I realised that Malaysia and Singapore have many differences as well. In Singapore, you're not given a chance to speak your own preferred language like Hokkien. However, in Malaysia, it is not that I have no one to speak Hokkien dialect to but the thing is when you go Kuantan, most of the Chinese there speaks Cantonese and this became very difficult for me and my friend to order our food. We sounded weird...well... mostly not me (Thank you TVB drama) with our Hokkien mix English mix Cantonese words that came out from my mouth. From there, I have decided to put my best effort to learn how to speak fluent Cantonese in my 4 years in UMP. So, why the title gotta do with this. Well, first of all, my new friend here always annoy me with these words "I'm so high"... Ya, "geli" and annoying but then again it really make me reflect upon what i

Welcome to the Cashless Society (Malaysia Edition)

Image
The place was crowded. You were standing quietly, hands tugged into your straight cut jeans eyes locked on the wide boards over the top of the shelf. There are 2 persons standing in front of you - both larger than you. The first man at the front has been staring at that same wide board for some time now before he started speaking. Your hands began to sweat as you never done this before. You convinced yourself that you are not some hipsters that just got to have overpriced coffee and the only thing stands between you and that green maiden logo was the aroma of the coffee that draw you into the queue. Soon, it is your turn to order, you successfully blurt out a bunch of gibberish words that hipster made cool before giving your name to the cashier in front of you (which most of the time they are going to misspelled it). As you wait for the cashier to key in the last few details of your order, you noticed a small shelf in the place of cardholders at the front left of the cashier's tab
