After wandering in the wilderness for almost a year I can finally see my destination. I am almost there... A few weeks more and I will be there. Just hope that it is not another freakin' mirage.

Only in Malaysia, only in Malaysia....
Well why am I not surprise that Anwar is threatened with jail time by the ACA despite being an "agent" of the whistleblower by revealing the Lingam-gate video? After all I was a victim of such "scare" tactics only mine is employed on a "University level" more than a year ago. May God have mercy on us Malaysians.

In Loving Memory....
Time flies and it had been one year since you left. To a friend that I loved but neglected when he is still alive, a friend that lend a helping hand when I am in need, a friend whom I will forever remember in heart.... May you find never ending happiness wherever you are and may you find peace there.
Goodbye again my dear friend, and yes I still miss you and I guess a lot of us still do. Til' we meet again.

Some Updates ^_^
Alright in case any of you are wondering where on earth I had been since I am no where to be found inside or around MMU and even my lack of online presence... I am still pretty much alive ^_^. For most of you had known that I will not graduate (unfortunately) until the end of this year due to two freakin' subjects, I am back in my hometown where the next GTA game will be based on.... Johor Bahru :-P working part time as a remisier's a.k.a stock broker's assistant in... where else... a stock broking firm.
In case you go "WTFZOMGBBQ?" on me and ask how on earth an IT-two-subjects-to-become-a-fresh-grad is working as a remisier's assistant, well simply because that remisier who employed me is my cousin. Well if you are wondering if an IT student can survive in an all-business-no-internet environment, honestly speaking... yes but with lots of screw-ups. You know stuff like mistaking sell for buy and never remind a client that he oversold his shares and stuff like that. But hey, I am thankful my cousin is very patient with me and taught me very well so that I won't screw up....much.
If you are asking me about my pay, well its not much. But hey, the things I learn there beat the hell out of industrial training where I worked like a donkey and learn shit. At least I learn lots of stuffs that most Business students don't even know they exists.
So yeah, I am currently quite happy with my life right now. Nice job, friends are all back in this cowboy town again, Hollywood's summer offering doesn't suck anymore and most importantly I lost some weight ^_^.

Four Days...
Four days is all we had left before I say goodbye to most of my friends and housemates as they will move on to their next phase of life while I am still stuck here.
Four days, is all we had left in our fate will reach its final destination as we make a transit in the next station of life as I remain on this very train.
Four days, is all we had left to laugh, shout and whine before we might not have the chance to do it again.
Four days, is all we had left before we wish that we can relive our University days.
Goodbye to all my close friends. Goodbye Yu Xin. Goodbye Melvin. As together we form the "Steel Triangle". Goodbye Cow Cow (Liang Peng) as I will miss our arguments over politics and your bragging ;). Goodbye Kenneth and may we meet in Azeroth once you graduated. Goodbye KK as I will miss your humourous banters and your carefree attitude towards life. Goodbye Cuin Hao, our only "female" housemate. Goodbye to Ice, one of my best friend in MMU ever since Alpha, don't always say I forget about you haha. Goodbye to everyone that had cross paths with me and will be graduating this year.
Goodbye and thanks for all the memories. May all of you have a nice journey on the next train of life. God Bless.
P.S: To those who don't know, I still have one more trimester to go before I officially graduate which unfortunately falls on the 3 trimester. So you guys should be able to see me then ;)

Open Letter to Record Frenzy Blog Owner(s)
Dear Records Frenzy Blog Owners,
First and foremost I would like to say that I can't stop agreeing with you guys on these record-breaking "frenzy" that's been plaguing some MMU students' organization. But the real motive behind my open letter is to give a friendly advice to you which is NEVER EVER REVEAL YOUR IDENTITIES PLEASE. Unless of course, you guys want to experience a few months of hell that I had personally experience if not, then its wise to keep your identities as secretive as Peter Parker kept his.
I also suggest that you guys lay low for a while as one wrong move might reveal all your identities. With that I am going to wish you guys good luck and don't get caught. You guys are doing a the right thing by bringing awareness to both the students and staff despite your ways of implementation is a bit extreme.
Yours sincerely,
Justin

Disappointed
I am standing outside the circle frowning. Months ago I was part of it. Months ago I thought this circle is a strong one. Now, I am outside it looking inside clinging on to someone inside it refusing to let go.
Should I let go? I had asked myself countless of times lately. Should I just let go and fall into oblivion since I am not needed anymore? That I am there not because they want me to? But because I am a convenience?
My hands are weak now... after what I had witness and experienced today I am letting my hands loose slowly. Isn't there anyone inside that cares about me anymore? I needed help and no one volunteered. Did they even notice that I am drifting away? Or they are secretly hope that I am gone? Maybe they should just tell me... so that I can just let go and fall into the abyss of loneliness below before another circle picked me up again....Maybe I should be Rorschach and wander the streets alone..

My Own Bridge to Terabithia....
Alright before we begin I just wanna say that this post is not a full review of the show "Bridge to Terabhitia" (which is based on a novel by Katherine Paterson of the same name). Its more about how the movie reflects my life and my thoughts after watching this movie. For those who haven't watch this movie, go watch it... NOW. It's a good movie and I strongly recommend moviegoers to watch it. My rating for this movie? An 8/10. Enough of this crappy mini-review and into the topic.
A thousand thoughts had entered my mind while watching this movie. One of the thoughts that crept into my mind is how this movie reflects me as a child. You see this movie is about how 2 kids (Jesse and Leslie) which are considered as outcasts and loners in school became close friends with each other and together they created an imaginary kingdom. You see, unlike the outgoing and happy-go-lucky "me" you see now, my childhood can be summarised in two simple words... fucked up.
Like the main character, Jesse, I am always a target for bullies in school not because of my size (I am bigger than most of them back then) but because my mum had a name that seem funny to them. You see the kids in my school had some fucked up hobby to kill time, they love to make fun of other kids whose parents had a name that can be easily made fun off and to them mine had the funniest. Everyday I would go to school just to listen to their verbal abuse.
I don't mind people making fun of me but I am very sensitive when it comes to my family. To make matters worse my class teacher is bias against me because most of them are either rich spoilt brats or top students who had nothing better to do. So each time I had enough of their taunts and threw a punch or two at them I would be sent to the principal's office.
No matter how overboard they go, it will always be my fault. I had even been called a lunatic by that bitch of a teacher because I often got into fights with her "pets". So yeah, back then school was my hell. Imagine to suffer tremendous verbal abuse from your classmates not because you deserve it, its because they think that my mum had funny sounding name. Only regret I had back then is that I took the "tough guy" approach and never tell anything my parents that I am being bullied and the reason why I fought is because I had enough, but instead let my teacher to tell them about "their" side of the tale instead which make them very disappointed. So how does the movie reflect my life you say? Patience, I am just about to reach that part.
So I am some sort of both a loner and outcast in my class. Having some bias bitch teacher who insult my state of mind and telling her colleagues how evil I am and having "friends" who make fun of your mum's name and not having one true friend I hated school. I hated everything back then. The only time that I truly love is when I got back from school and started to imagine things. Sometimes I would imagine that I am some superhero or even a pirate. Sometimes I would imagine that I am the king of my room with my pillows and my plushy camel as my loyal subjects and we would go to war against the other three countries (rooms) in my house.
My only escapade from my fucked up childhood back then is my own imagination. So while watching Bridge of Terabithia I can't stop smiling and say "been there done that" to myself. Unfortunately for me, unlike the film, I don't have a great friend with me to share my imagination.
So yeah, there you have it the story of my childhood a part of me where I had never ever mentioned to anyone until now. A part of me that I wished to forget but never failed to haunt me til' this day. Well, all I can say is thank God for CowHead a.k.a Tauren a.k.a Liang Peng for convincing me to watch that movie because finally there's something for me to relate my childhood to and make me feel like I had a better childhood then most of the fucktards I shared the same classroom with during primary school.
TO MY MUM: In case you are reading this mum, this is my side of the tale that I had always kept mummed about last time. I am sorry that you had to pick me up at the principal's office so frequently last time and I am sorry that I had hurt you because of the several complaints about me by other teachers last time and how frequent I got into fights last time and never tell you anything about being bullied back then. Thank you for being so patient with me and guiding me to be the person I am today.... and you too dad (which I don't think will read my blog :P). Love you guys.

Time Flies
Just today a junior of mine added me to her Friendster list and after browsing through her photos and looking at how some familiar faces had grown up suddenly makes me feel... nostalgic. It was feels just like yesterday (I know this is an overused cliched line but that's what I am feeling right now ok? >_<) that I was still in (Secondary School Year 5) Form 5 and the rest of my juniors are in Form 1. Now all of them had graduated from secondary school recently. When I was browsing through her photos I had that "been here done that" feeling and I find myself wishing I could relive my secondary school days again. Still remember how I spend nearly all of my secondary school days as a prefect, how we would always start a rebellion against the head prefect, the two crushes I had during my five years there, the rejections I faced from the, how our conversation revolves around sex and watching porn was like an adventure to all of us. I still remember one of my close friend invited me over to his house for pizzas and porn when his parents are not around, I still can't stop laughing each time I think of it. I still remember how I was a rising "star" of the PBSM but only to quit as a sign rebellion against the new President but only to come back after being invited personally by another President during secondary 4. How I use to have a passion for chess. I was never really good at it but still the passion for chess and the love of going to competitions had been a part of my life during my five years there. I still remember the last two years of my secondary school days where me and my friend were considered as "heart throbs", yeah go ahead and laugh all you want but it's true :P and how I constantly receive gifts from girls and how I had to asked my mum to help me to settle a girl who constantly called me about 3 times a day. Those were the days indeed. Too I didn't experience any of those during my University life... (oh I am soooo going to get my ears pulled if my girlfriend read this sentence >_<) Sigh I really miss those days, where all friends are pure and none of them are out there to backstab you. How we are all so innocent and naive and the world outside meant nothing to us. How we view things in life as either black or white and never shades of grey. Maybe this is why I seldom mentioned anything about my past.... I hate the feeling of nostalgia... the feeling of wanting to relive your past but reality had just had to say "NO!"

Excuse me Mr. PM...
Dear Mr. Lah... or should I call you Uncle Lah. I know you had been going on interviews and giving speeches on how we, the bloggers, are liars and how we love to spread shit on the net. How we criticise you for every little thing you do like falling asleep and stuff like that. I know you hate us for smashing your Son-in-Law's rice bowl and how we dug up your little Turkish sampan... and oh yeah, found out that you bought LEASE a huge jumbojet recently for yourself i mean your ministers and we even call you some rude names.
I mean it is all our fault. You know, we should be good little children and stop being disobedient and stuff like that? I mean we shouldn't had question your authority... I mean you are like the father of this country for crying out loud and as your little children we must obey every little thing you say. Heck, like obedient little children we should keep quiet each time we dug up a stash of porn under our parents bed and pretend nothing had happened.
Oh wait, for the last time I checked, you are not God-given to me like my dad. You are E-LEC-TED you know like the "E" from the word Erectile Dysfunction? WE ARE YOUR BOSS. WE PAY YOUR SALARY AND FOR GOD SAKE WE ARE THE ONES PAYING FOR THE HIGHWAYS IN KL WHEN WE DON'T GET TO USE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! When you buy that stupid jet of yours and your cronies... ITS OUR MONEY. So is it wrong for us, YOUR BOSS, to criticise you when you under perform? Is it wrong for us to question WHERE OUR MONEY IS GOING when the money you are spending is OURS?
So tell me what are you so pissed about in the first place? Had you, like some Malaysians, had forgotten the fact that this is a DEMOCRATIC country? If you are not happy how democracy is, go ahead and declare yourself the supreme ruler of Malaysia like what Senator Palpatine did in Star Wars. Only then we would totally surrender our fate and lives to you and you can do whatever you want without fearing any criticism from all of us.

Come on, repeat after me...
Yeah, I want everyone to repeat after me:
Sorry if I treated you like a primary school kid there because the last time I checked there are people who thinks we are living in a Nazi state. Each time when someone said something bold and sensitive, there is ALWAYS, yes ALWAYS, someone who will say something like:
No I don't mean to point out anyone specific but most of the time when someone debate something political or sensitive, someone is sure to say that. For the love of God, we are living in a democratic country here. It's because of the people's fear of speaking out that makes the government think they can do whatever they want and they still can get our approval! Had our education system dumb us down so greatly? Had the propagandas we are taught in both Moral and History class had instill great fear in our sub-consciousness that we dare not to speak for ourselves?
Look, if a bunch of people who didn't even know where Iraq is on the World map knows the true meaning of democracy, we should too.
"Malaysia is a DE-MO-CRA-TIC COUN-TREEE."

Top 10 Favourite Movies of All Time
It's 2.30am and for some reason I can't seem to fall asleep. Since I got nothing better to do, I had compiled a list of my 10 favourite movies of all time. Movies like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars are considered as one movie since all of their movies tell one huge epic story. Movies with the same name but feature different stories such as the various Monty Python movies are separated as they told a different tale and have different universe.
10. Death Note I and II
Simply put. Death Note Live Action Movie is awesome. Its one of the best books to movie adaptation I had ever seen since Lord of the Rings. The pacing is great, each twists and turns are done perfectly without the audiences going "WTF JUST HAPPENED?". The change to the story is awesome too. Instead of dragging the show into two freaking story arcs like the manga, the movie ends it in the first arc. The acting is good too especially Ken'ichi Matsuyama's portrayal of super-detective L.
9. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
An excellent dark comedy about the Cold War. Its about a delusion US General trying to bomb the Soviet Union based on his crazy theory on fluoridated water. Things goes even crazier when the US tries hard to undo their mistakes. Definitely one of the best comedies I had watched.
8. Ghostbusters
How can a movie starring 3 of the best comedians of the late 80s (Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis) suck? This movie is stock with one-liners after one-liners and memorable scenes after memorable scenes. Most of the humour are presented through the script instead of the brainless slapstick comedies Hollywood are producing these days.
7. Pirates of the Carribean
I have a small confession to make. Ever since primary school, I had been fascinated with pirates. I had even imagine myself being one. I had even played pirate-sim after pirate-sim on my computer. Unfortunately none of the games ever capture my imagination (until I played Sid Meier's Pirates last year but that's another story) and surprisingly Hollywood did not make any pirate films after a not-that-bad Cutthroat Island in the early 90s. When Pirates of the Carribean was showing I was skeptic about it being any good. I mean who would had thought a movie based on a theme park ride to be even decent? So I watched the movie with zero expectations and to my surprise it is actually a very well made film. True Orlando "Legolas" Bloom is sucky and the plot is as simple as a Saturday morning cartoon, but the way Johnny Depp carry this movie is what make this movie enjoyable.
6. Monty Python and the Life of Brian
Decades before Da Vinci's Code become a controversy among the Christian society, this Monty Python classic had been causing quite a storm among Christians and even banned in some country. Its about the life story of a guy name Brian who happens to be born in a manger next to Jesus Christ himself. This movie parodies and make fun of religion (not God btw) and also blind zealotry. Not recommended to religious fanatics ;)
5. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
What can I say? This is definitely the most funniest comedy I had ever watched. Period.
4. Lord of the Rings
LOTR is THE textbook of how a great fantasy film should be like. Great editing (the book is very long-winded and I am surprise how Peter Jackson actually squeeze all its contents into less than 10 hours), great casts and superbly done visual effects make this movie one of the best movies ever.
3. Star Wars Original Trilogy
Intergalactic battles (X-wings, Tie Fighters, pew pew pew)... check. Great villain (Darth Vader).... check. Great story about good vs evil.... check. Memorable characters (Han Solo and slave Leia :P)... check. Cool action scenes (who would had thought aliens fought with fluorescent lamps as weapons could be so cool?).... check. Need I say more? :P
2. Infernal Affairs Trilogy
Just when you thought Hong Kong movie industry is dead and creativity had run dry... they just have to surprise you with one of the best concept ever conceive in this decade. A mole vs mole flick with so many twists and turns that it make Hollywood took notice. Too bad Hollywood have to "remake" this classic into a pile of shit.
1. The Godfather Part I and Part II
A story of how the Corleone family, the most powerful mafia family in New York, stir its way through disaster after disaster before breaking apart and how Al Pacino's Michael Corleone turned from a goody-two shoes son into a horrific mass-murderer. Definitely the best movie I had ever watched.

Shit Happens...
Don't you just love it when life just came crashing down on you. Everything that you do or care about just turn your back on you. For this whole MMU academic year (June 2006 til' now) is pretty shitty for me. It all started off badly with my industrial training where I suffer a slight depression due to the sudden change of environment. I was having my training alone and being an enthusiastic trainee who tries to work as hard as possible, instead of getting my work recognized, I was being pushed around by my supervisor. Just when I thought nothing could get any worse, I flunked two subjects. Its perfect timing I tell you, I had never failed any subjects in my whole degree course and just when I thought I could have graduate peacefully with no hiccups I have to fail two fucking subjects on what is supposedly my last academic year and which I am forced to extend another just for these two subjects! During this time my former close friend whom I had never talked for nearly a year due to some misunderstandings in the past had pass away due to a freak accident. It came as a shock and this is the first time in my life I had to deal with a death of a friend. It took me a week to get over it.
Just two weeks before my industrial training ends and just when I thought all these will be better once I finished my industrial training, I got into some problems with my University's management. Of course I cannot voice it here since I was given the order not to speak out about the incident again or I might face the boot. Just say it have to do with voicing out and the management is not happy with it. The whole ordeal was really mentally taxing. I was screwed over and over again by the management and was forced to attend a Student Trial and all that shit and got away with a "DON'T DO THIS AGAIN" warning (that explain I did not explain everything the whole "saga" in detail). Its like I only wanted to help but instead I was the one punished.
Just when I thought my depression won't sink anymore deeper, there are some external factors which cause me to sank even deeper. Just when I finally found the light at the end of this seemingly unending labyrinth of depression just yesterday I found out I flunked another two subjects. All of a sudden I find myself wanting to give up my studies. I have no more will to go on anymore. Each time the scenario of seeing my all my friends graduating before me I feel depress. Each time I thought of how disappointed my dad will get when he finds out I fail, I feel depress. Each time I think about how I am still going to be financially dependent on my parents... I feel depress. Being the eldest in the family, my dad still have another 2 more younger sons to support and he ain't getting any younger. He is 53 this year and I really do wish to lessen his burden by supporting myself for once.
Right now, I really don't know what to do now. Everything seems to crash down on me all of a sudden. The only thing holding my sanity together is none other than my girlfriend. The only piece of sanctuary I know I can go to during a time like this. Let's just hope life won't take away my last piece of sanity while gaining back my lost ones.

Goodbye my dear friend
I knew you since you first came into MMU. We walked the same road briefly and became the best of friends. You helped me when no one wants to help. You are a very nice friend. A friend who can sacrifice for others. You had your flaws... but in the end you are a nice guy.
Then one day you pissed me off... you apologised and told me that I am one of your closest friend. I am touched... but you chose a different direction in life while I stayed on mine. We never meet each other since then and had minimal contact. One year later.. you are gone. You had passed on.
I don't know how to describe my feeling right now. Maybe its regret... regret that I had not talked to you for so long. Or was it that the friendship between us is still strong. All I can say is.. I am sad. I am very sad. My mood's fucked up right now and all I can do is pray for you. I hope you had a good afterlife. A better one than this one.
Goodbye my dear friend. I will miss you and you will always be in my memories. May God have mercy and bless your soul.

Weird?
Someone complaint that I never write anything about my personal life in my blog. So what is a better than kicking off the "third season" of my blog with an entry of my personal life, eh?
It was this evening when I was reading the newspapers in my room and I come across this picture of Pak Lah in the front page. I said "In your whole career as PM, you had never made a right decision before" to myself and than my bro who was on his way to his room heard me talking to myself. I did not notice he was right outside my room until he said "You are very weird, talking to yourself like that".
"What is wrong with talking to myself?" I asked.
"It is just so weird" he replied.
After that he walk into his room. I was still puzzled by his remark then until I remembered that he had never been alone all his life. He had always had someone to talk to and someone to play with him all his life. You see, he and my 2nd brother is only 2 years apart while me and my 2nd brother is 5 freakin' years apart. I am never close to my brothers as there is this one huge age gap between us. The only conversation that I can strike with them is about computer games that we play. Other than that, we had nothing else to say.
I really do envy my two little brothers. They are so close. When they are down, they can share their sorrows, when they are angry they had each other to complain to, when they are bored they have each other to talk to. Sadly, that's a life I had never had. A life that I wanted if I can go over this again.
I had always been growing up alone. Well its not always like this. I use to have close childhood friends when back then when me and my parents are living under a rented roof. I was living downstairs while my friends lived upstairs. Well, life changed for me when I had to moved to our very own home when I was 5. My life changed. I had been growing up alone ever since. It was during these times that I develop a habit of talking to myself.
During my childhood years, I had only myself to talk to. When I am sad, I had only myself to talk to. When I am happy, I can only share it with myself. When I am lonely, at least its not so bad... I still have my pillows and my plushie camel with me (the camel's had been long gone since secondary school). When I am bored, I only had my computer to play with. You might be wondering where are my primary school friends? Well you see, primary school for me is the worse 6 years of my life ever but that's another story for another time. When I reach my teenage years, things were better. At least I had some nice friends with me and I can go and hang out with them but still at the end of the day, I still talk to myself a lot as most of the time when I am not with my friends, I will feel alone at home and I will start talking to myself. That is why from that moment on I had started to join and organised activities up until now.
Hope nobody thinks I am weird after they read this entry >_<

It's Bear Season again ^_^
After such a long break from blogging, I decided to pick up my keyboard and start again. So many thoughts and opinions that I want to express that I can't in reality. Another factor that drive me back to blogging is that I am hoping it will help me fight away the blues of having Industrial Training in one of the worse companies in Malaysia.

Things I don't understand
I just don't understand when people say:
A : I am a big fan of **insert singer name**.
Me: You mean you own all of his/her albums?
B : Nolah, I am not that richlah. I had all her mp3s in my computer.
Me: =.="
I just don't understand how people have the face of proclaiming to be a fan of a singer when they don't even buy a single original album to support their favourite singers.

Spanners... don't you hate them?
I just hate spanners. No, not the one you can find in the toolbox. I am talking about those assholes who will hit on your girlfriend eventhough they know she is attached. Currently there is this one particular asshole who is trying to hit on my girlfriend despite of her rejecting him several times (talk about having a thick skin huh?). Its not that I am afraid of my girlfriend running away, its just that he is just fucking annoying. Imagine some guy bothering your girlfriend everytime by calling her often even you know that he doesn't had a chance. Annoying isn't it?
He's even more annoying now as we are having our semester break and he seems to be calling my girlfriend often which my girlfriend found it very annoying. Dammit, spanners (even those sucky ones) should be castrated I tell you!!!
