Terrible Tuesday-It turned out alright

It was a terrible tuesday for me, that is.. i had trina's proposal to do.. and she just wanted to see the draft of it before I submit it to her.. and i spend terrible nights last nite.
 
It turned out alright. Trina gave another week for the semester project. Beth was kind enough to share with me her insights and discussions. I biked around the Lake Manona with Shn today.


Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.

Sunday, and Wednesday

Last Saturday I did tell you guys about the bike that I bought for $10 right. The things that it needed was a bike lock and also some rubber handles.I went to the Budget Bicycle Center and got the lock for $10 and $10 for the rubber handles. It was a lazy Sunday and I forced myself to go out of the boring apartment. The weather is quite nice that day. And so the cost of the accessories is more than the bike, imagine the irony. ;p The rubber grips. They made my fingers blister. Cause I didnt put enough soapy water and then one of the rubber handle was already pushed in. There were no problem with the right rubber handle though. Note to myself: rubber handles>be more lienient to the lubes.Its so not worth the blisters. Well,things are done anyways. Today is Wednesday,and as my Sv has suggested that I take lake samples, I did so. And it was so beautiful, the weather is awesome (or I might say that its a bit windy chilly). The sun's shining bright. And its an excellent place to be at , especially during lunch time. Huhuhu.. And the only thing I could think of was, OH MY GOD..Where are my friendsss??? I wish you guys could be here..I really do. Its been 3 days since I last saw Shn. She wasnt at the lab cause she had a guest at her house. I called her and asked whether she wanted to do some biking. And we did. We biked a quarter of the Lake Manoona. And I went home flat. After Isyak, I just slept on the praying mat. And just now, Fu had a birthday party upstairs. And Khrul and Acap cooked some curry noodles. It was delicious. Most freshies were there and some of the sophomores. Asyh made a layered ice cream cake. I had some chats and retreated back to my room. I would say that, the only reason why I wrote so much is that 1. I am waiting for the pics to dload or 2. waiting for the videos to dload. Hehe. Have a good one guys. As what Shn father always says "the sun always rises tomorrow"

Don't Slide

Slide -Dido

You know when there are days, when you just cant seem to get out of bed. Well, sometimes, listening to a good song, you know, kinda perks you up. You kinda relate to the song, and kinda figured, what the heck, life must go on. And Slide by Dido is one of the kinda songs that will help you. Really.. no joke!

This song has helped me a lot in getting through tough times. You could listen to it too, by clicking on the youtube link below.No video in this one, just the song. Cause the video will be the one that u visualize on your own. It will be your video. Readers out there, will have a different kind video, an interpretation of their own life, which relates to the song. Listen to the song a couple of times..

Go ahead, listen and visualize..
Visualize the pain melting away.. and get a grip on your life..
go ahead.. and move on..
Enjoy.

Slide- Dido

Even on a day like this when you're crawling on the floor
Reaching for the phone to ring anyone who knows you anymore
It's all right to make mistakes
you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something

Staring at the same four walls, have you tried to help yourself
The rings around your eyes they don't hide, that you need to get some rest

It's all right to make mistakes
you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breathe and choose your moment

Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't slide
slide
slide

Even at a time like this when the morning seems so far
Think that pain belongs to you but it's happened to us all

It's all right to make mistakes
you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breathe and choose your moment

Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't slide
slide
slide

You brought this on yourself
and it's high time you left it there
Lie here and rest your head
and dream of something else instead

Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't slide
slide
slide

MSA Family Day * New added video (finally!)

The bike at the back is my new bike. :)
Hari Sabtu,

Last Saturday the Msian Stdts Assoc had a Family day. It was held at the Tenney Park her.. Altho the plan was actually to have the event against the beautiful backdrop of the Lake Mendota, but the weather forecasts and the darkening clouds forces the committee to set up the event at the nearest shelter available, in case it rains.

And there is a small lake nearby. It was spring. And the sun is out. But why the H*** is the weather's so cold? Everyone's didnt expect it coming. The wind, is causing windchills that made the temperature nearly 0 celcius. And all of us are only dressed up in only sweaters that weren't enough. Some of us bought blankets, and cuddled warmly in it. Kinda looked liked a bunch of hobos.

The food was marvellous. Abg Khrl had a char kway teow, freshly made. The first on the menu was fried rice, and then there were the ayam percik..grilled chicken with coconut sauce. That tasted great !

The games that i had was the puzzle : we had to make a duck, and a full square .Then the toss out of rings to the head of kings. I had a video down below.

They had another event after that, but i left early cause, I was hitching a ride with Fu and Acp. On the evening, I had a nap.By the way, that morning theres a bike sale organized by the local town council . And I grabbed myself a bike - Pacific one. for just $10 . Wow that was a good one. Acp was kind enough to drive, and grabbed himself one racing bike too, for just $15. And one bike is in the car and another is in the trunk.



This is the grilled chicken . The night before, we had it marinated in tumeric, lemongrass, coconut milk, onions and garlic.


Do not be deceived, there's only one person who's doing the grilling here and he' s the one wearing the light blue jacket with the matching cap. Hehe And the same goes for this one, the real cook(s) are the one wearing the shades. This is the Annual General Meeting to setup the new MSA committee for next year. Congrats..!!


You could almost see people shivering against the chilling winds. On site chef. Abg Khrl. Steps in making the fried rice. Ist, we add the eggs, then some chicken strips. Then add soy sauce and voila!..the fried rice. Bon apetit!
Cuddling up. The selling of Tshirts.

So this is the video ..




"Tangkap gambar?"
"Video!"
"oo video.."
"Masak apa ye hari ni?"
"Nasi goreng.."

Great Advices

Take another 2 mins off to read this....and plug yourself into this system..

What I am going to share here, are the simple 16 rules. Nowadays, there are too many distractions and nonsenses that divert our attention and make us stagnant in pursuing dreams and visions that we have....Today is a special day for me...a very special one. I woke up today, and I decided to make a difference....Maybe 1 year from now, you will still remember..." that email that changed my life..."...This is it......


1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone.
I believe that not much happens of any significance when we're in our comfort zone. I hear people say, "But I'm concerned about security." My response to that is simple: "Security is for cadavers."

2. Never give up.
Almost nothing works the first time it's attempted. Just because what you're doing does not seem to be working, doesn't mean it won't work. It just means that it might not work the way you're doing it. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn't have an opportunity.

3. When you're ready to quit, you're closer than you think.
There's an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true. It goes like this: "The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed."

4. With regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be.
Very seldom will the worst consequence be anywhere near as bad as a cloud of "undefined consequences." My father would tell me early on, when I was struggling and losing my shirt trying to get things going, "Well, Jerry, if it doesn't work, they can't eat you."

5. Focus on what you want to have happen.
Remember that old saying, "As you think, so shall you be." 6. Take things a day at a time. No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don't look too far into the future, and focus on the present moment. You can get through anything one day at a time.

7. Always be moving forward. Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new.
The moment you stop improving your organization, it starts to die. Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.

8. Be quick to decide.
Remember what General George S. Patton said: "A good plan violently executed today is far and away better than a perfect plan tomorrow."

9. Measure everything of significance.
Anything that is measured and watched, improves.

10. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate.
If you want to uncover problems you don't know about, take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven't examined for a while. I guarantee you problems will be there.

11. Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you're doing.
When you look at your competitors, remember that everything looks perfect at a distance. Even the planet Earth, if you get far enough into space, looks like a peaceful place.

12. Never let anybody push you around.
In our society, with our laws and even playing field, you have just as much right to what you're doing as anyone else, provided that what you're doing is legal.

13. Never expect life to be fair. Life isn't fair. You make your own breaks.
You'll be doing good if the only meaning fair has to you, is something that you pay when you get on a bus (i.e., fare).

14. Solve your own problems.
You'll find that by coming up with your own solutions, you'll develop a competitive edge. Masura Ibuka, the co-founder of SONY, said it best: "You never succeed in technology, business, or anything by following the others." There's also an old Asian saying that I remind myself of frequently. It goes like this: "A wise man keeps his own counsel."

15. Don't take yourself too seriously.
Lighten up. Often, at least half of what we accomplish is due to luck. None of us are in control as much as we like to think we are.

16. There's always a reason to smile. Find it. After all, you're really lucky just to be alive. Life is short. More and more, I agree with my little brother. He always reminds me: "We're not here for a long time; we're here for a good time."

In Service, Jerry " If you have dreams, protect it!"
