A Black Week

I'm having a black week! I'm damn bad luck!

As you may know, I was speaking vulgar on Facebook last Saturday and many of my friends was so curious about it. First of all, thanks for your concerns. Since all of you are so curious about it, let me disclose the issue now.

Last Saturday, my junior who was also my neighbour came to K.L. to find a house. She came here with her friends, who were also her potential house mates. Since her mother asked me for help, therefore I accompanied her throughout the whole process to provide some advice.

Their first destination was MetroView. Hence, I parked my motorcycle at the Wangsa Maju L.R.T. station as it was raining that time. Unfortunately, she couldn't fetch me along. One of her friends' uncle offered to fetch them, hence the car was full. I went around to search for some notices first. Within half an hour, when I went to take my motorcycle, I noticed that my helmet was gone missing! Someone must have stolen it and this was my second time parked over there.

I was nervous and didn't know what to do. My intuition told me that I should find a replacement as helmet was a complementary product with motorcycle, without helmet, how could I ride my motorcycle? I planned to steal others' ones as there were so many similar helmet as mine. Nonetheless, I didn't do so. My conscience prohibited me to do so. It told me that if I stole the helmet, the owner must have the same difficulty and anxiety as mine. I shouldn't pass my worry to others. This was really irresponsible and selfish!

Thereupon, I started to walk around looking for a motorcycle shop. I found one, a Kawasaki motorcycle if I was not mistaken but the helmets there were so stylish and highly priced which I couldn't afford to have one. Imagine, more than RM200 for a helmet! I started to feel helpless. I didn't tell her about this and I planned to find one from Jusco which was nearby after that.

Luckily their agent was so kind that he agreed to fetch me to Genting Klang. He was a Penang guy. I straight away bought one helmet at the motorcycle reparation shop, which cost me RM55. The helmet is same brand and model as my previous one, just one thing is different, the lock is made of plastic instead of stainless steel! Then I went to meet L.L.J. and T.K.X.. What a coincidence, Lucas was there thereafter.

Alright, this is part of the whole story and I don't intend to continue further here. Today, I went to college earlier as I wanted to asked some questions during Mr Chin's consultation hour. However, he was not there. It took me around 10 minutes to wait for his arrival. He told me that he was not feeling well these few days. Thus, I was not dare to interrupt him further. I reserved some questions to ask him next time.

Before I went back, I went to S.O.T. office to meet the Head of School of Mechanical Engineering in order to help my previous boss to establish a relationship with TARc. I went there after my lunch but he was not there. This time, he was not there as well but someone was inside his office. I passed the name card to him and he promised to help me. He was so happy to know that S.O.T. students would be having a chance of getting training during their internship or after their graduation. On my way back, I noticed that my back tyre was punctured! It was okay, I had to replace a new one. I rode to Genting Klang where I bought my helmet again as I found the young boss was very honest! It cost me RM16 again!

Haiz, what a black week! I had over-budgeted this month. Looks like I have to eat less in order to cover my expenses, haha... Hopefully the bad luck is coming to its end! I believe that a new luck or good luck is coming towards me in the future. In Chinese, we called it “否极泰来”! Maybe it will come to me during the final examinations, lolz...

Hotlink Youth Club

For your information, my Hotlink Youth Club membership was terminated since last Thursday, the day after the Arsenal Asia Tour 2011. Since then, I couldn't make a call or even sms. Initially, my expiration date was approximately 9th April 2014 but it showed the termination date was 17th September 2011. This frightened me so much as I didn't plan to reload and in fact, I didn't top up since I became the Hotlink Youth Club member as I got plenty of money in my SIM card. Sorry for those I couldn't reply at once due to the inconvenience caused.

Thereupon, I went to Maxis centre on Monday to understand the situation. Initially, I went to the shop at Genting Klang but the service staff asked me to go to centre as centre got more information on me. I was told that one of the centres was at K.L.C.C.. I planned to go there by L.R.T.. However, on my way back, I noticed that there was a road directing me to K.L.C.C., then I followed the road which leaded me to car park. I couldn't find the centre even from the directory. I was asked for direction by two Koreans (if I'm not mistaken) but I couldn't help them since I seldom go to K.L.C.C.. Hence, I asked them to check from the lousy directory.

Before I relinquished, I asked the direction from the security. He showed me the way, thanks for that. I was like a ball being kicked by the service staff. The receptionist asked me to go to counter and the counter asked me to solve from receptionist! I was furious and hence insisted that I wanted to make a report. They had no choice but to comply with my order because I was the customer and customer is always right.

I told the service staff regarding my problem and he was so shocked hearing my issue as I was the first one making that complaint. I raised a lot of doubts to convince him and finally, he agreed to make a complaint report on my behalf. He passed me with my report number and told me that the customer service staff would call me within three to four days before I left. He further said that, if they didn't call me, I would have to call them personally. When I took my motorcycle, I paid for the parking fees at the auto-pay machine, it cost me RM2. Apparently, parking fee for motorcycle is based on hourly basis instead of the usual per entry basis.

Tuesday, I went to Setapak Public Bank to make some clarifications. As you may know, I just renewed my Public Bank TARc Debit MasterCard Card just the week before my study leave. However, I found that Public Bank didn't send me a new PIN number as stated on the receipt letter and I couldn't use the card to fill petrol since that. Therefore, I went there with the intention to complain. See, I like to complain, haha...

The customer service staff treated me so nice. She called to the centre at once and helped me solving my issues. Now I know that if I wanted to fill petrol with the card without going through cashier, I need to retain at least RM200 in my card because Public Bank needs to hold my RM200 as retention. Besides, I can use back my old PIN number and I don't have to link my Debit Card to my e-banking anymore since I didn't change my card number.

Yesterday, after having my lunch, as usual, I went to library to take a nap. Maxis called me. The customer service staff asked me few questions for clarification. Of course, before I gave him my information, I asked him for my report number. I also needed to confirm his status to prevent any lie. This is the basic knowledge! He asked me to top up to ensure that my account was re-activated so that he could recover my Hotlink Youth Club status! I promised him to top up from 6p.m. to 6:30p.m.. He told me that he would update this to me automatically and the process would take me about 24 hours.

Today, during the Business Analysis's lecture, I checked my balance during the break time. I found that, my Hotlink Youth Club status had been recovered! They even extent my expiration date for another month. Great service, I like it. Thanks a lot. Hopefully it won't happen again.

I strongly agreed with what Mr Yeoh told us today. Maxis always offer new benefits to new customers but ignoring existing customers. I think, I should report this to Maxis again if I'm free, lolz... Do you agree with this? They shouldn't abandon existing customers. Whatever new benefits introduced should be given to existing users first! Otherwise, this can lead to low switching cost given that there are a lot of telecommunication providers here.

Know your rights and be a wise consumers. We shouldn't tolerate any small piece of issues since we pay for that and we are the master.

Confirm

Yesterday, I met Mr Lee after my Corporate Reporting's tutorial. I had his confirmation regarding the news which I received from Dr Janice. I didn't ask for the real reason for it but I knew that it was not as simple as I thought. At that moment, I just felt helpless but I didn't show it out to him, instead I tried to cheer him up. Maybe this will be a good thing and new beginning for him. I think I will visit him next time. After writing so much, can you guess what has happened? Hmm, this is the man's secret, haha...

As you may know, I'm having a swollen eye now. This might be due to my eye's allergy. This is not the first time I have this but eye as the weakest part of our body which exposes to the exterior environment the most, it's not easy to deal with it. Have you ever had the life of losing one eye? I wonder how the blind persons survive? I really salute them. It's quite dangerous to drive with one eye especially when there is massive traffic jam where motorcyclist used to passing by the cars. It's not an easy job as you can hardly to determine the distance using one eye.

In order to reduce the effect of the swell, I wore a glass frame. Yes, glass frame without lenses. This can make my swell looks smaller. However, this had arisen a number of curiosities from my friends. Definitely, there were comments from them. Some of them said I look better and some of them even said my swollen eye was because I watched something which I shouldn't watch, I was beaten because I tried to tease other's girlfriend, etc. It's okay, say whatever while you still can. I don't need to explain to you.

Hopefully I can get well soon and Mr Lee can do what he wants. Best of luck to you.

Arsenal Asia Tour 2011

Yo, I went to watch the first match of Arsenal Asia Tour 2011, the friendly match against Malaysia on this Wednesday. Wednesday was also the day I got all the marks for my mid-term test. Therefore, I can conclude here. I got 63/100 for Business Analysis, 32/50 for Governance, Risk and Ethics and 85/100 for Corporate Reporting.

After the Business Analysis's lecture which was conducted by Dr Amy, I straight away rushed to my cousin's house to drop my bag, then moved to Bukit Jalil Nasional Stadium. I went there as fast as possible and it just took me around 50 minutes to be there. Straight after the lecture, my Tailo called me. He told me that the stadium had been crowded even though it was just 6p.m..

When I was there, there were a great number of stalls selling Arsenal and Malaysia's souvenir and even the football jersey. Even though Tailo and I were not the Gunners' fans, we still supported them. I brought 3 breads there for our dinner but the guards checked our bags before we entered and outside food and drinks were not allowed to enter. Hence, we ate the bread outside the stadium and threw away our bottles of water. Due to this, my Tailo and Eu Gene lost RM5 for their drinks. However, even though it stated that no camera and filming were allowed in the stadium at the back of the ticket, there were still a lot of fans taking camera in and snapping photos. The guards allowed it.

Outside the stadium.

They were buying drinks. Before that, I heard the owner asked them whether they wanted cigarette or not.

Okay, got ready to enter the stadium.

We had to pass through this narrow pathway. I couldn't imagine how the people carrying big bag passed through it as it was paramount narrow! After passing through it, your body would be 'molested' by these voluntary guards. They would asked you whether you smoked.

Our seats were at Green Gate and we had to climb up approximately 3 floors for our seats. While climbing, took a picture first. 1, 2, smile...

We managed to find 3 seats at the centre part, we were damn lucky on that day. The stadium was not fulled. This might be due to the match was held on Wednesday but not weekends.

Why I took these pictures? Can you see someone who looks like Theo Walcott sitting over there. Initially, I thought he was Walcott and I thought that Walcott was so friendly and willing to mix with fans. At last, he was a Malays.

This was the match arena. You can see that we could find a great spot there. Our angle was perfect. This was my Tailo and my first time watching a football match live! Our fist time had been contributed to the Gunners even though we were the Red Devils' loyal supporters.

This was the screen. Too sad that the whole stadium just had one screen. I wondered how the spectators sitting over there watched the football stars.

This was the clock.

While waiting for the football stars, let's took some pictures first.

While seating, there appeared two fans wearing Manchester United's jersey searching for seats. As a consequence, they were 'booed' terribly by the Gunners' fans. Some of them even asked them to leave! Luckily, Tailo and I were wearing casual.

You can see two different colours of hair here. Red ones supported the Gunners while the yellow ones supported the Malaysia.

This was my ticket.

Before the match started, four Malaysian goalkeepers came out for stretching. Nonetheless, I found their stretching ways ridiculous and they just threw the ball to each other.

Can you see the boy wearing No. 8 Nasri jersey? Do you know what was he doing? He was smoking! I think he is still under-age, isn't he? In Mandarin, we called this “毛都还没长齐”!

Okay, now all the Malaysia team came out for warming up.

Now, it's Arsenal's goalkeepers turn.

Whole squad of the Gunners coming out for stretching. They practised passing, dribbling, shooting, 'monkey' and even forming two small teams to play. The cameraman was so nice, he managed to find Samir Nasri and focused on him. Nasri smiled, this was the first time I found him so handsome, haha...

The roof of the stadium, obviously got 2 big holes.

Okay, the entrance ceremony of the match.

Okay, match started. Arsenal was having a formation of 4-5-1.

Arsenal were wearing blue jersey and you can see that how far the two keepers standing from their goal post.

Arsene Wenger was sitting on the bench.

First goal occurred roughly after 8 minutes of time. It was the first pass through created by Arsenal and the Malaysian defender was so nervous to tackle Jack Wilshere in the penalty box. Aaron Ramsey made the first goal. At the first half of the match, the crowd cheered whenever Theo Walcott touched the ball. At the second half, the spectators cheered when Andrey Arshavin, Robin Van Persie and Samir Nasri touched the ball. Samir Nasri even made some skills on the field but too bad that he didn't score. To me, Arsenal were not giving their best as most of them were jogging instead of running at a wind speed as they do in English Premier League. However, their jogging speed was more than enough to play with Malaysia. Malaysian players were too weak, in Mandarin we called that as “豆腐”. A slight touch on them would cause them falling down and there was bias on the judgement of the referees.

This was Arsenal's side. See how far Wojciech Szczesny was standing from his goal post.

This was Malaysian's side.

You can notice that there were more reporters and cameramen on Malaysian's side. I didn't think this was due to their patriotism towards Malaysia but they wanted to catch the best shot from the Arsenal. They wanted to snap the pictures on how Arsenal attacked the Malaysian team.

4-0 was the score. Goal scorers were Aaron Ramsey (penalty), Theo Walcott, Carlos Vela and Tomas Rosicky. If they gave their best, I thought this was not the score. Nonetheless, the youngsters were very hardworking. Theo Walcott even waved to us, what an honour! Some bad remarks here were that there was no replay in a live match, unlike what we watched on TV and the audio system was terribly bad!

Then we went back to my cousin's house by walking and it took us around 1 hour to reach our destination. The next day, after having our breakfast, I borrowed the car from my cousin to fetch Tailo and Eu Gene to K.T.M. station. Then, I lapped to college. Luckily, I was not late.

Yesterday, my friend C.JH asked me to part with him for the badminton competition. This was because his existing partner was absent due to his part-time job. We were in semi-finals but too sad that we lost. It was okay to me but certainly I hoped to win a medal. After the last match, I changed my cloth and went back. It was raining at the time. If I were not participating in the competition, I wouldn't got wet.

My old injuries happened again. Now, my feet and arms were pain! Looks like it will take me around 2 weeks to recover. Hopefully I could get well soon.

709

Yo, what's up everybody, it's me, Recca here. What is 709? If you're a Malaysian, you must know it, mustn't you? It refers to 9th of July, which was the date I went to Kuala Lumpur to continue my study after the two-week break.

On this day, quite a number of people demonstrated on the street. However, they were all defeated by the policemen. Some of them even were caught or jailed. My family was worried about me so much as they were scared of the incident of 513 to happen again on that day. Nonetheless, it was okay to me because I was there to study, not to participate in that demonstration.

Therefore, when I reached Duta Station (which was different from the station which I usually use, Puduraya Station as the station and many of the roads and highways were blocked), a policeman asked me who was I waiting for. His name was Hady, brought a handgun with him while the other one was holding of sub-machine gun, model 32 in Counter-Strike Condition Zero version. I replied him that I was waiting for my family. Then he asked where did I stay. He said I was better to take the RapidKL which was waiting for passengers and switch for Monorail and change to Star LRT in order to go to my cousin's house. However, I brought so many bags there and hence I refused by saying that I wanted to wait for them to pick me up. He humiliated me by pointing to his watch saying that there was already 7:30p.m..

Luckily, my uncle came to fetch me about 15 minutes later. Then I teased him back by saying:" Mereka dah sampai, tapi lu mia bas masih tunggu, haha..." He just smiled. My uncle was fast because he was a lorry driver who knew almost all the roads in Peninsular Malaysia. Even though most of the roads were blocked, he still could find an alternative way to come.

To me, government should not against the demonstration because they always speak publicly that they are always willing and ready to listen to people. Nonetheless, what they showed me was the opposite. I support demonstration as long as they don't break the public facilities and infrastructures or even cause damages. This kind of demonstration is very common in overseas. This can act as a way to convey the message to the government but it won't work in Malaysia.

After the TARc visit on Tuesday, I went to visit my ex-colleagues on Wednesday. We chatted a lot and had an enjoyable lunch together. I drank the so-called 古早味 white coffee in office but the white coffee was no long the Old Town white coffee or Mocha which I used to drink. As usual, my boss went back earlier but suddenly he called me to help him solving a mathematics calculation related to triangle and the degree within it (it was called pythagorous thereom if I'm not mistaken) because he needed to know it to make a tender for a project. I found it difficult since I had 'returned' the formula to my teacher but I could solve it at last. However, I needed a scientific calculator. There was no scientific calculator available, so I just made an estimation for it. Luckily Steffi's brother helped us and it showed that my estimation was not different too far from the exact answer.

At night, I gathered with my primary school's friends, Sam and C.T.H. by having dinner at Straits Quay. This was Sam and my first time there. After that, we moved to the new Tesco nearby and we met Y.C.H. our role student of the year during our graduation ceremony. Then, we went for pool. C.T.H. always doubts me as a new bird after seeing how I play. Honestly, that was just my forth time (if I'm not wrong) playing pool so far. I don't lie to my friends one, so trust me! Later, we went to 洗布桥 to have our supper.

Thursday, I was so glad to play badminton with my friends. Anthony, Sam and Kee attended. I parted with an uncle to fight against the two youths who were under training with a coach. We lost 2-1 but this was my first time to win them with a score of 21-15. I asked my friend whether did he win them before but he said no. Thus, I was so excited to win them once even though this might be the only once in my lifetime because the closest score before that was 17-21. Nonetheless, the another uncle's attitude towards my friend, Anthony was disgusting me a lot. I was so furious about it and I wanted to revenge so much! I want to train and win his son all the times to show him that he needs to change his behaviour.

I watched Pirate of Caribbean-On the Stranger Tides with my Tailo on Friday in WCinemax of Island Plaza. What a coincidence, this was our first time been there even though it has been there for years. We had a bad first impression as the road was designed to be one-way and we found it very difficult to reach our destination. Even though the directory showed the cinema was on Level 4. We still had to go up one floor using the stairs after reaching Level 4 by lift. This was totally insane!

We were late due to massive traffic jam in the rain, especially on the road of PCGHS, those from Penang, I believed that you knew what I was talking about. We initially planned to watch at 12:30p.m. but it was already 1p.m. when we reached there. Therefore, we booked the ticket for 3:15p.m. session. We headed to KFC to have our lunch because my Tailo said the KFC in USA didn't offer spicy flavour. We chatted in the KFC, too bad that KFC didn't offer free drinks refill service. He showed me his iPod and taught me a lot of things.

Later, we moved to Cold Storage at the basement. We were walking without any direction and motive while chatting. He told me lots of his story in USA. When it was almost timed, we headed to the cinema. Before we entered, we ordered a popcorn with his free voucher. There were just we two in the cinema for the first half an hour. Before the movie started, there was no audio, thus I scouted out and we didn't switch off or silent our cell phone. Eu Gene called Tailo suddenly and he was so shocked that the whole cinema was occupied by us. Later, two girls entered and another two guys for the subsequent a quarter of time. Thus, the whole cinema just got 6 spectators. This might be due to the old movie.

I admired Jack Sparrow so much and I found that we had the same philosophy. We have our aim and motive but we will accomplish them in a relax way, not like some others who often force themselves to the extreme. We enjoy our life and the process. My Tailo even imitated Jack Sparrow's way of talking and walking. He seemed funny and I liked it.

Saturday, I made myself available to visit my grandpa. He smiled when he saw me. I knew that he always miss me. As usual, he wanted to feed me durians but I refused by giving him a reason that I wanted to have my hair cut after that. He complained me for just visiting him thrice in this two-week time. Sorry, I was really fully occupied!

So this was my two-week holidays' schedule. I didn't study at all and hence I start to regret now after seeing the study texts. I know that I'm far behind from my course mates now but I won't relinquish. For your information, I just managed to get 63 marks for my Business Analysis's mid-term test after the second review by my tutor. The marks were not convincing due to some of my careless mistakes but at least, it let me knew where did I get wrong so that rectification could be made.

Penang TARc

This is where I started my tertiary study, Penang Tunku Abdul Rahman College. This morning, I went to there. Why? To visit my Princess? Of course not! I fetched my sister and her friend to college.

I greeted the guards and only the Indian guard who could speak Hokkien recognised me. He was so surprised to see me and said I was still the same as last time, that was why he could recognise me. Before I went off, he hugged me. I attended the AAC class, Entrepreneurial Skill too. To me, this subject is similar to P3 Business Analysis. I met my part-time girlfriend, Pei Pei at 8:30a.m. in CP room. The lecturer, Dr Kang felt curious that why her class suddenly appeared so many unknown faces while many of her existing students went missing. I told her that I was from AFA and I was having a two-week study leave, thus I was there to visit her.

She joked that our KL friends were back but the existing students went to KL. Actually, even though she was neither my lecturer nor tutor before but I recognised her since she was one of my OHR's test invigilators. At last, she permitted us to attend the class. Other than me, the other AFAcians were Will, Hui Pin and their friends.

After that, I was having a long conversation and gathering with Eric in Student Affair Department. We chatted quite a lot and I enjoyed it so much. During our conversation, I met my tutor. I forgot what his name but I called him. I asked him that whether he still recognised me and he assured me that he did, just that he had forgotten my name. Who was he? He was the one whom my classmates previously called him "Don't Cha". I met Mr Ong Peng Song too. My tutor introduced me to him and obviously he had forgotten me until I asked him for my Christmas gift.

Then, Eric started to do his assignment and I started my plan to visit my other lecturers and tutors. The first one I wanted to meet was Dr Janice Toh, nonetheless she was away. Therefore, I visited my Darling. She was doing her lecture notes there and I entered to disturb her. She still recognised me too. The first thing I asked her to do was adding me in Facebook. Later, we chatted for 2 hours.

We talked a lot, about my KL life, KL lifestyle, KL lecturing and tutorial styles and certainly her things. She agreed with me that the students nowadays were too childish and not matured! I told her that even in KL, some of those who were known as elite of the best of the best also had this kind of behaviour. She said she didn't intend to praise me but she was really fancy about my attitude which according to her, a positive attitude while maintaining a not bad result. I was flattered. She said it was normal to get a CGPA of 3.5 at my level and told me that her results were poorer than me during her age.

She also told me that she had given up the lecture and she wanted to focus to be a tutor only. She said she kept on receiving complaints from students. Students complained on her hot temper and she admitted that to me too as she was passed a task to teach three new subjects. Sometimes the KL Main Campus would change the syllabus at the last minute and didn't disclose the source of reference directly. Therefore, she had to change her lecture notes.

She told me that since I graduated, she was passed with this task and she had to do the lecture notes every day until midnight and she even had to continue her work during semester break where she did her lecture notes even if she was visiting her relatives in KL. She didn't hope the students to appreciate her effort but at least, don't simply complain without knowing the reasons behind all these. She said, the students nowadays didn't 尊师重道, even didn't respect you as a human, they just treat lecturers and tutors as their slave or servant. To them, they pay the fees, so they are the master while you are the servant! I felt sad after hearing this.

Then, we talked about my god sister. She came back and went to visit them last month. What made my god sister so angry was our college even didn't want to give her name tag which was hanged on the door to her as souvenir after she resigned. My Darling told me that they were willing to throw it away instead of giving it to you as gift.

Nearly 1:30p.m., my Darling had a class and Eric came in because he brought my book to me, thanks a lot. I exchanged handphone number with my Darling before I went. Then I followed him to attend his tutorial, which was Strategic Financial Management tutored by Dr Janice. I entered the class and asked Dr Janice that whether she still recognised me. She said of course and knew that I was one of the participants in Business Investment Game. Before the class started, we chatted a lot. She asked me what would I take for my optional papers. I countered by asking her should I take Advanced Financial Management. She told me that this paper is tough and few students manage to pass. However, the market and Big Four now are looking for financial experts.

The tutorial class started and she introduced me to the class by saying that I was their senior. I objected by saying that we were from the same batch, just that I took AFA whereas they were taking AAC. She asked me about KL tutorial's style. I asked her why she needed to present in slide show since students were the ones who supposed to present the answers. She said since they needed to prepare for their assignments and mid-term tests, thereupon she gave them leave and prepared the answer herself. See, we can negotiate with tutors in Penang, haha...

Same as previous, I asked a lot of questions in the class even those which were outside of the syllabus. She answered me gently and patiently. Thank you so much, Dr Janice. What surprised me was she called my name to brainstorm for an answer. She knew my name! She said the Strategic Financial Management was slightly similar to Advanced Financial Management but S.F.M. was lower standard than A.F.M.. However, I already found this subject difficult as there were lots of formula which I was not familiar.

After that, I tried to meet Melinda and Jenny once again but I failed. Melinda seemed like not teaching there anymore. I really hoped that I could meet them since they were those very important to me during my Diploma study. Later, I moved to I.T. lab to find my part-time girlfriend as she sms me for help in the morning but it was 3:30p.m. and she was no longer there, sorry about that.

Anyway, I enjoyed myself today and I'm so glad that everyone is still recognising me. Today will be a meaningful day to me. I love you all. I promise I will be back one day.

不在乎多，一个就够

哇，很少看到我放这样的标题吧！就让我们改变自己一下嘛，这就是我的作风--‘Dare to be different’！

期中假期已经过了一个星期，很快的，下个星期又要跟我的家乡说bye bye了。首先，先来报告我的近况吧。虽然已经过了一个星期，但是我还是赶不上我之前所安排的一切。不过，让我很尽兴的是我跟几位老朋友聚了又聚。

在这一个星期里，我干了很多东西，同时也很放纵自己。好久没有这样子了！我回来的第一个节目就是探望我的公公咯。我们聊了很多，他还问我搬了新宿舍习惯吗？当然，我跟他说我不习惯啦。毕竟搬到了新的环境嘛。我大概用了一个月的时间才适应下来。其中，我就是老是找不到时间读书。冇便咯，只好靠上课时留心咯。

其后，我的buddy约我去登山。我们去亚依淡水坝爬山。让我很惊奇的是，亚依淡出身的他，那次竟然是他头一次去那里爬山。一路上，我们有说有笑，我还知道了他此次归来的目的，因为他去年曾经告诉我今年不会回来了。在此祝福他一切安好。过后，我们还去吃roti canai。

星期三，我跟我的大佬、buddy及富贵他们聚会。在那之前，我去找我的“岳母”。由于我没有通知她，因此当她看见我时很意外与开心。我也询问她我是否该去英国拿Master文凭。几乎所有人都支持我去，包括我的buddy、家人、我公寓的护士、我阿姐、“岳母”。。。。。。但是“岳母”告诉我如果去了自己却一仙都没得剩的话，那就不要去咯。而我的buddy则告诉我注意那所大学的世界排名，才考虑。我知道了，我也有了答案。其中，富贵是跟他的女朋友去发林的pasar malam后，才一起来的。她的女朋友说很喜欢我的魔术。虽然我告诉她我的只是三脚猫功夫，可是她已经觉得很神奇了。我答应她将来会尽量拍多一些给她看。当时我心想：“富贵，你的老婆那么喜欢魔术，看来你要开始学习咯。”

星期四，我约了aL去我公公家。他是我第一个去我公公家的朋友。不是我以前没有邀请，只是只有aL答应我去。本来我的buddy也会来的，但是他有他的私事、苦衷。没有关系，来日方长。刚好那天我离开家里后，公公打电话给我叫我去吃榴莲。公公开了两个他特别留给我的榴莲给我们吃。其中一个已经被松鼠咬了一个大洞。公公说有虫或被松鼠咬的比较好吃，因为畜牲的嗅觉特别好，没有好味道的都不会吃，哈哈。。。当然，那个榴莲味道特别好，我和aL都吃得津津有味。

之后，我带aL到处参观。他十足像是城市里的孩子般，看见一大片榴莲园及森林，感到很惊奇及兴奋。我还当场爬一棵榴莲树给他看，他因此而偷拍了我很多照片。

这只是其中一张哦，还有很多在aL那里。我们去山竹树拾大姨丈刚採下来的山竹来吃，因为吃完榴莲，最好是吃山竹来解暑。榴莲属热，而山竹属凉。凉克热，明白吗？我们还去了天宫坛，因为只要绕不到五分钟的山路就到了。我们去了养鱼及养龟池那里参观。之后，我们就载公公去坐电椅后就回我家准备，因为我们要去打羽毛球了。这次，我约了一位高手，也就是我的好朋友。我们临回前，他约我打一场单打，我才发现原来我的水准太低了！13-2，而且那两分是我开场前趁他松懈时拿的分数。跟以前一样，跟他打球，我就像是一头疯牛似的，在场上冲来扑去。他完全钳制着我，打乱我的脚步。更惨不忍赌的是，我的手力已大不如前，我真的是输得很彻底，但是我心服。我不指望打败他，只要跟他靠近就好。

星期五，我跟buddy和他的弟弟去看Transformer。这是我第一次online买票，又多一份经验了。这次的Transformer共播了三个小时，最后的打斗场面更是精彩。不过最令我记忆犹新的是那句经典对白--'I will be with you till the time ends'。离场后，我们还碰见了大佬他们。我回家了才发现原来大佬在离场后致电我，大概是要问我在哪儿吧。不过，既然都碰面了，就没有回复他了。回家途上，我告诉小帅哥说我们要开始锻炼身体了。这样才可以像Transformer一样，救人救己，做hero，因为2012世界末日要到了。

晚上，我的姨丈来咯。他是送货去Perlis，因此就在我家过夜咯。当然，他此次的目的是来槟城“报仇”咯。每次来槟城，他都会“报仇”的，因为就他所言，吉隆坡找不到好吃的，哈哈。。。很可惜，他今天下午就赶回吉隆坡了，不然我们晚上又要带他去他的老地方“报仇”了，哈哈。。。

好，言归正传。“不在乎多，一个就够”，这是我跟buddy之间的默契、共鸣！这是事实，知心的朋友或兄弟，不须要多，其实一个就够！我以前总是把我自己豁出去，因为我深信只要付出真心，也能得到同样的对待。很可惜，事实并不是全部人都如此！可是，很庆幸的，我有不止一个可以谈心的朋友。我们之间没有心机、心计。。。。。。这种的感觉真舒服，我们大家不必互相提防，这才自在！

有时候，当你想搞节目，想邀请朋友们出席，可是偏偏这时候却有些反对党。他们总是会给你制造麻烦，甚至想搞砸你的节目。很气，对吧？但是，这世上真的有这种人。他们会给你一个又一个的理由阻难你，其实这是他们婉转地拒绝你。如果你为了满足所有人，你就会面对一个严峻的考验。要知道，要满足所有人其实是不可能的任务！因为每个人的要求不同，你很难拿捏得很好众人的口味。

此时，你只有两种选择。一是，成为Utilitarian，do the greatest good for the greatest number of people，这就是少数服从多数，迁就大多数人；其次就是，自己设定自己的规则，也就是我的“岳母”教我的。我们身为主办者，我们自己定自己的时间、地点。我邀请你，就是希望你出席，你不来，也没关系。虽然听起来有点“串”，但是你们要我怎样呢？我满足不到所有人！

倘若有人邀请我或约我，我会评估。如果我尊敬你，我给你脸，我会出席，除非我没空。如果你不值得我尊敬，我是不会给你脸的，我即使再怎么的得空，也不会出席的。一旦我答应你出席，我便会做得到。即使我遇到困难，也会自己想办法解决，而不是叫你迁就我，甚至给你一些其他的理由来推搪你。其实，想出席便出席，不想出席就通知一声。爽快一点对大家都好，何必浪费大家的时间呢？拖拖拉拉的，更让人生气。有些人其实他们的成绩不错，在课业上一马当先，但是却偏偏不会“做人”。讲到这，我又想起了我小学恩师，钟老师说的。“品学兼优”，“品”字为先，证明了品德的重要性。有优异的成绩而没了品德，这就是典型的“斯文败类”！

在此声明，我并不是针对某人而开炮的。如有雷同，纯属巧合！当然，我欢迎你们留言发表你们的意见。

可爱小鬼 2

今天，我竟然迟到了！而且，还是期中考呢！不是啦，其实不是我迟到，而是Dr Amy早到与早分试卷。最令我愤怒的是，我的招牌位置竟然被一个印度人给霸占了！Dr Amy还特别要求我们之间得空一个座位，这倒是让我着急，因为眼前的位置都已经被占满了。还好，Shirley叫我去令一端找位置，我也找了一个周围没那么多人的位置坐。让我很不爽的是，当我走下楼梯拿测纸时，Dr Amy那副不屑的眼神，好像很瞧不起人似的！

这个星期，我总共有三科期中考，而今天这张P3是最困难的一科！就连我考完试时，跟我的tutor, Mr Tey Liang邂逅时，他也坦诚这次的题目过长！看来，应该有很多人遭殃了吧！我希望我不会是其中一位吧！

考完试后，我就买了三个面包，一个被我一面驾摩托车，一面吃了；另外两个呢则是要等下坐巴士回槟城时吃和送给公公的。回到家，放了书包，我又骑摩托车去KL Sentral搭Putra LRT去Taman Bahagia找我的姑婆。她老是埋怨我来了吉隆坡那么久，从来没有去找她。

她和她的儿子来接我。我到了他们家后，那两个小瓜竟然忘记我了。我是指我的表弟。他们直到我脱下帽子后，才逐渐有印象！才时隔三个月而已，就把我忘了吗？其中，我第一次看见我才两岁半的表妹。她的眼睛很大，很讨我的喜爱！很可惜，又是我戴帽子的关系，她误以为我是坏人叔叔，不敢接近我。我舅舅告诉我她平时见人都称呼的，不叫我还是头一次。

我利用一个下午脱下帽子来跟她接触，她慢慢才接受我，但是始终还是不给我抱！她很聪明，很会唱歌、模仿、甚至是背诵，简直就是很有演艺细胞。看哥哥将来能不能带你去香港娱乐圈发展吧。

今天吃了很多，我姑婆们个个都怕饿到我般，猛塞我食物。姑婆还叫我舅舅载我回KL Sentral，因为天色已晚。真的很感激你们。当然，我的晶姨，由于咳嗽，因此没有出席。她还sms我向我道歉，还答应将来我再大驾光临时，再补请我吃“好料”。真的很感激，其实不必请我吃“好料”啦，反倒是你得照顾自己的身子哦！就在我下车的那一刹那，我的表妹跟我说：“哥哥，拜拜。”你知道当时我是多sweet吗？哈哈。。。

等下早上八点半，我就要回槟城咯。我已计划好一连串的节目了，真的很期待！你们又有没有想我呢？

Magic Series 9

Yo, what's up everybody? It's me, Recca here. I just made a magic video clip this Thursday. However, I disliked this clip as the effect was not clearly filmed! Let me explain here. The first move was a joke to you guys but the second move was meant for real. I produced a coin in the helper's palm from the air. It was a miss that my friend, E.S.H. didn't zoom in to get the effect and due to this, a lot of people asked me what was I doing. I'm really sorry about that and I think, I will film this magic again. Ergo, you guys just wait and see. For those AFAcians like me who are busy preparing for their mid-term test, take a short time to enjoy some magics and you might relieve. See you soon.

Mission Impossible

Hi, everyone. How are you? I seem to be so relax, aren't I? Haha, but you're wrong. I'm absolutely busy now.

For your information, I'll be having mid-term tests a week later. Ergo, I still have one week left for my study. However, is it possible to finish three subjects within one week where each subject has more than 100 pages to cover?

Even though the tests are around the corner, my brain is overwhelmed with my study leave's plan. I have scheduled my plan and activities. That's why I can't concentrate on my study! I must alienate the plan and forget about it! Otherwise, it's mission impossible.

Hopefully things will be what Ms Amy said, impossible means 'I'm possible'. I hope I can do it and I promise I will try my best to accomplish it. What makes the things worse is I am having a presentation next week. Therefore, I have to prepare for it. Haiz... God bless!
