Melodies of Life

It’s been 3 years since I worked on selling Apple products and finally it comes to the end of a chapter. Today is my last day working at Switch – the widest Apple Authorised Reseller in Malaysia. For 2 years I have been working in that service line has not only improves my communication skills but also makes me hypothesised that humans are not as smart as you think they are. I think I can say that I have come across all kinds of customers in my years working part time there. Some of them just asked the silliest questions I have ever met in life and today I am here to reveal them. Note before I start: -As many of you already walked in to an Apple reseller/store before you already know that they only sells things that are only compatible with Apple products. -Make sure you know what is an iPod, iPad and iPhone first. -Last but not least, I want to say a simple thanks to all my colleagues that help me throughout all these years. Thank you. 1) “Where is the latest Samsung...

Staring at the dark ceiling as I force to shut my eyes - it would not.Turned over to the side of the bed trying to get some sleep - I could not. Staring at my phone, it's half past 3 in the morning what can I do at these times - nothing. These sleepless nights has been dragging on for a week now. It haunt me so bad until I finally decided to blog about it. As I have just graduated, everyone is getting ready for the job world. The job world has a lot of advantage - you get more knowledge, you earn money to reduce your mom's expenditure and finally you can start saving and treat your girlfriend that fancy dinner you saw on TV that you always thought it gives the idea of romance. However, that was not the case for me. Although there's one side of me being happy and finally given that sigh of I-did-shitzzz-in-uni-and-yet-people-want-me. Yea I am happy with the fact that I secured a job, happier when there are job offers but somehow I feel afraid. The worst part - I DON...

So I stumbled across a friend and he said to me "Wah Admund, I read your blog the other day, you mature a lot." My immediate answer was "My blog got porn?? Where? Where? I wanna see it too..." (Hint: It's right after a photo) Then came an awkward reply "No la, I mean in terms of writing compared to last time. Last time, after a while stop and came back you said you improve and better and new la. All sort of things but this time it's different you just go straight into writing the point and I enjoyed it." Okay so the first thing that came to my mind was "You read my blog since long ago? Wow! How long have I been writing?" Guess what? It's more than FOUR YEARS!!!! I never knew I have been blogging for 4 years already. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my avid loyal fans out there. I don't know how much you read but one thing for sure, I have blogged on almost all my feelings in here before. So thank you blogger for...

"Three sentences for getting success: Know more than others. Work more than others. Expect less than others. "(William Shakespeare)   In order to succeed in life, you should put lots of effort to reach that succeeding point. However, do not put an expectations in your effort too high. If you fail to achieve it, you will end up disappointed and demotivated. Now don't get me wrong, not putting your expectations too high does not mean you are not ambitious. You can still set yourself to high goals, just remember - baby steps. You know how baby walks? When they first started walking, they take a few steps then they fall to their crawling position, however they do not give up. Although they did not stand up again but their goal was to reach his/her mother's arms on the other side. Having lower expectations increase ones life too. Humans are really weird being. We tend to think negatively whenever there's a chance. Yes, its true. If not why you think there's ...

Ahh. yes... Black Day (April 14)~ A day where all singles get together and talk about how sad and pathetic their lives are... BITCH PLEASE... Not necessary when you are single you are sad and pathetic. There are lots of things to do out there as single. For 24 years staying single, I have been observing those who are actually in a relationship. Trust me, just because you found someone to be with in your life, does not mean you will feel complete and happy. Being in a relationship has its downside, there's commitment we single people cannot see when in a relationship. What we see its only on the outside, what happen between those two internally might be a different story. Being single has its perks, you gain more freedom. You can do your personal things/hobby anytime you want without another person bothering you. You have the whole bed to yourself. You can dress as messy on days you are lazy. You can flirt with that cute girl over the counter. You can sleep  in the night anytim...

Awake upon the realisation that varsity is not a stepping stone is not the only thing I experience during internship period. If you have read my last few writes, I have been seeing someone lately. We did went out for a few dates and I think it is one of those best moments in life yet. When I go out with her, it is not only happiness rekindle in my once innocent life but I learnt a lot from her as well. When we are on semester, I would travel to Kuala Lumpur to find her. I get to experience things I never thought it would come to me this fast - travelling alone. What's more? I'm on a tight budget. I learn how to be independent and wiser. See, 2 lessons in 1 already. But seriously, although we were from different streams, different course, different uni, yet somehow we clique. We exchange ideas and knowledge well yet we share the same passion for things (not the same things though). I know what you wanna say - "But you guys live like 300 km away from each other..."...

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 v...

It's been a while since I last blogged. Actually, I have decided not to blog again already as I feel I lacked the 'magic touch' on these stuffs but somehow there is this something on mind that I cannot seem to get it out from my mouth. So I decided to do it here since now its mostly empty, so I am free to write whatever I want. Those who follow me on Twitter and Facebook, I'm into my internship for 2 weeks now. Everything seems fine except it's a small factory and if some people are jealous of you, you cannot do anything to change that. The factory was divided into 2 - production and office. Production includes QA and packing while the office is just mainly for business deals and paperworks. So the first day, I get to know Ms. J, the admin manager, she's been working there for over 30 years already and she is very kind towards us interns. However, we were not under her. We were assigned to QA and lab test department under Mr. S. On my first week, work were e...

Deepavali this year was something a little different than what I had in mind. So I went out with this girl whom I know for more or less 10 years now. From McDonalds to Mah Tou Yau, literally I didn't spend a dime that night besides putting on fuel for my car. As usual we had one of these weird conversations when suddenly - "You think everyone is as good as me?" This quote came out of nowhere from her. I couldn't even remember what we were talking that lead to this. That night, I went deep thoughts. I thought of everything she did when I'm with her. Come to think of it - she was right. Of all the girls I know, I felt she's the one most honest to me.  How she would say I'm a weirdo whenever I didn't something the way she did.  How she would trust me, held my hand and lead me when I say I forgot where I parked my car.  How she would pinch me whenever she feels that my concept or way of thinking was wrong(brings me back to the right path ...

10/10/10 - The day I first bought my iPhone 4, its like the happiest day of my life so far. Why? First, its because its the first phone I really save up to buy one not like others I study hard to have one. (Yes, my parents cannot afford me an iPhone but I love the design so much I just had to get it). Second, the demand for the phone is so high I almost didn't got it (it's the last one among the first batch of iPhone 4 I have in Penang, if you miss it you have to wait for another 3 weeks). Thirdly, it's my first smartphone and my first Apple product. So to celebrate my iPhone's ownership day I decided to interview my iPhone on how she it felt in these two years. The only picture I took of my iPhone What do you think of the owner? Yes, he is Ad. A nice owner. I call him Handsome. (Answer through Siri) What is the first picture you ever taken? A picture of my owner's dad with a Digi plastic bag. (Answer through Photos app) What's the first song you ...

I recently celebrated my 51st time sitting 8-9 hours bus from my uni to home town, so I thought I can share experiences with you guys. How you know it's 51st time?? Well, here's the formula for counting how many times you sit in the bus f(x) = {x*2+[(y*t)/(2*pi)] + exp 2.5x^2}+ z. Got it? Neither do I. Anyway, every time I took a bus or rather you can say it's a coach, I notice some similar characters that you can categorise them. First I'll like to introduce the drivers. 1. The Honk These drivers are awesome. My usual buses back to Penang are 9pm, so I usually depart at 9, reach the bus stop around 9.15 waited for half an hour (sometimes more than an hour) before the bus arrives. It's really depressing though waiting for the bus, fearing it might not come. However, usually when you meet the Honk, the feeling rises again. These Honk, are cheer bringer, before even the bus stops, they are already shouting "Penang!! Penang!!". I could actually hear it lik...

Note: This is a unsupposed-to-release post. However due to my recent events, I decided to release it in remembrance of my creative father. "Ahhh~~ After today, then I'm down with one last paper." thought to myself the first thing I woke up today. "After these, I'll be able to accompany my mom visits to the hospital." Then went out, had a bath, called Jia Han up, had breakfast and get dressed. These were my usual routine for two semesters now and finally it's coming to the end of my first year. Today was my second to last final examination papers - Engineering Mechanics. Some say this papers is gonna be tough but I silently thought to myself, I'm a Form 6 Physics student its to my advantage, plus I had lots of revision with Jia Han before this including the one that involves Angry Birds. I depart for the Exam Hall with Jia Han early, though the weather is bright outside but the sun hasn't rise behind the hills yet. The paper starts at 9 in the...

After having bonding camp today, I didn't felt tired at all. In fact, I feel like doing something more. So this is what I plan after bonding camp: - Have a meeting on the upcoming modern dance for CNY event with the dance lead - Visit KK2 fellas - Play Tetris Battle till I'm out of energy This is what I did - Broke a mirror -Go KK4 for dinner with only 3 person - Nothing. - Draw flow chart for tomorrow's experiment While you think it's not that bad at all let me tell you what happen in between. I texted the dance lead let's called her V for a meeting at 9 because I wanted to tell her everything so by tomorrow's meeting, she'll be ready to lead the dancers on what to do already. Then, a friend of mine W texted EVERYONE to go KK4 (I was happy) turns out, only 3 (Me, W and M - another friend) person appear accompanied by W's bicycle farts. On the way back, I did mention to M about the meeting. She says she'll text me whether she wanna go or ...

A day after my schoolmates sponsored BBQ reunion (Thanks to Wee Wern for the invite), I decided to go for ear check-up since during my 3rd semester, my hearing been de-proved by roughly 30% and ever since I got my ass back home , I tried several methods to get rid of the shit blockage in my ear including ear candling (which it only relaxes you but not really removes your blockage) Ear candling - good for healing insomnia and seeking for parental assistance? It only costs more pain. So back to my story, after reunion night (which I had fun and never really laugh so much since I went Kuantan before Pesta Tanglung in semester 3), I went to government clinic to check (It's really cheap and good for mild sickness or condition like fever, flu, etc.- cost only RM1, kids below 12 - FREE). I registered at 2pm and it only consult me at 4.30pm (what the??). The doctor from the look of it a newbie check my ear, found the blockage and use tweezers something like this o...

In my life, besides having a wish to become a Power Ranger when I was 4 (which didn't came true), I never really wish for anything else (as far as I could remember). But if one day, one were to grant me wishes then there will be 10 things I would wish for in my whole life: 1) Be happy and healthy - always and forever. (This also means I'll die happily in my dreams - just like Inception) 2) Wish that my skin would not wrinkle up when I'm old. 3) Wish I have someone to love besides my Mom. 4) Wish I wasn't always the second option to be seek. 5) Wish people will remember me when I was right from the beginning. 6) Wish a few (or even one) person that will really thank me like how I thank others when they help me. 7) Wish I'll have enough money to buy a custom-made bungalow in Penang and let my Mom stay in the BIGGEST room on ground floor. 8) Wish to travel around the world visiting countries that are developed, peaceful and disaster free (That way I won...

Today was a happy day. Yeah! That's the end of this post! You think? Here's what happen today, my friends throw me a surprise early birthday gathering which I wasn't expected till 5.45pm when Celine told me to accompany her to atm then she'll discuss thermodynamics with me. (By the way, today was also the first time I skip class this semester). I was curious as in "Why she make me walk that far to where she always go atm alone... well... most of the time?" However I chose to believe her as she's a good and loyal friend of mine and I did ask her to help me in thermo this morning. So when I reach the atm place there was a tiny bit of shock in me because I didn't expect many people to turn up including some I'm not really close to. A short while later, came the cake. It was funny as there were 2 cakes - one black one white. There was this other girl - Shu Yin which she has birthday one day earlier than mine but since she's going ba...

It's funny how you thought that you will be able to make a new post and then something came up and you have to postpone that particular post but eventually you thought of a new post but wouldn't able to complete it also and the whole process repeat itself? Yeah, it's been 4 months since I last posted(longest so far). Though I got 5 drafts waiting however I wasn't able to complete it. Before this, if you have been following my facebook status updates earlier this year, I did dreamt of 2 nightmares that I woke up with cold sweats down my neck. Well, one of it has happen, it turns out to be a bigger scale than what I expected. I decided to write this event in my longest post ever. But don't worry about me so much, I'm fine. In fact, I'm searching back the Happy Line hence the music on the wall. Anyway... Out of the previous topic, it's been awhile since I posted on any topic besides My Life, so for those Apple and Google fanatics out there, here is what com...

I have been sick for more than a week now. First the flu, then the fever, now the sore throat. What is wrong with me?? However this does not matter much, what matters is that my mind actually runs more sickly than my body. For a situation I could actually come out with tonnes of possibilities that I could do including the one that I not sure whether it's possible or not. For examples : (Oh well, here it goes, for those who don't like to be caught in a situation of dilemma then I suggest you can just skip this post) I was watching Saw 7 sometime last week and I couldn't fell asleep easily last night. It's not because it's scary but I was thinking if there were really Saw in this world, how would I escape. Is there some other way, why yes... But I won't tell you till you watch Saw 7 because if I would have just told you, you would say it wouldn't be easy and I'm making mountains out of mole hills. I would have even thought of Sora Aoi acting in that movie ...

It's been more than one month since I last blogged, therefore, most of the time(actually all the time) when I left since a large time interval in between I would normally blog about happenings in my life. 2010 has been great - not only I start to blog (again) but I have more determination this time. The best thing is KampungBoy artist did blog-walk this blog... Thanks Lat! Well, 2011 kicks off for me ratherly weird with me having a weird new year resolution - Juggling 3 balls while speaking Cantonese(Don't ask me why, I also don't know).But what's weirder is my new semester at UMP (Universiti Malaysia Pahang). I'm in the same section but more than half of the class full of strangers... *sigh* here it goes again.What's worse is that none of them are Malay, this makes me very frustrated. It shows that there has been Buzz Marketing on my section for the last sem. And this doesn't approve with the 1Malaysia spirit at all. I miss my whole classmates. I wish to e...

The title for this post was suppose to be "Why I starved last raya" but then again there are more things happening in the world than just me waiting for my dinner for more than 2 hours. There's this Eiffel Tower bomb threat, Samy Vellu announcing he's retiring after sitting in the highest chair in MIC for more than 30 YEARS! (Boy, that seat must be burning hot.). US priest - burn a Quran day (I don't want to mention anything more about this). iPhone 4 finally arrives in Malaysia. Me sleeping for 16 hours in a day at my lovely and chilling house. For those who do not know, his name is Samy. Samy Bulu Vellu You see, I practically relaxed while the whole world is...well.......*lost for words*. Erm... anyway October is at present so I hope I would stop dreaming and work twice as hard as there's many event coming up in October. The UMP Lantern Festival which I gonna help (Yes, for those of you calling me a banana and not helping in this event - shame on you. You a...
