Lazy to even type.

Refer above. Had "fun". Lazy. No directions. Follow the flow. Bye.

What am I doing?

Why am I sitting here writing a post? Tomorrow is the last day of exam. What am I doing?

Oh well.. whatever. Just finish the contract law paper tomorrow and have fun. Study time.

Good luck, people.

Tripped on trips

Throughout the CNY, I had stumbled upon a few trips, to Ipoh, to PD, to Seremban, then back to college, then reunion dinner with secondary school friends and here I am again typing the past out, while procrastinating the future. It is time... the time to prepare ourselves for the imminent task. The time which we desperately need. Every moment that we spent and still spending in our lives changes us in every aspect of physique, mentality and spirituality. Why spend the time in such a way that changes us to something that we do not want to be, or change us to what the society do not want us to be? Do we change because we have a want? Or do we change because of others' wants?.....

January's a Bombardment of Birthdays!

So many people in college had their birthdays on January! How nice it is to be so old in that year hahaha! Wish them all a very happy birthday, especially Lahvee of course! And also Happy Chinese New Year, though there really is a severe lack of CNY atmosphere this year... due to the year that comes so early, and also the fact that the economy is still in its lows... we're lucky Malaysia's economy aren't as severe as a lot of so-called developed countries.

Wishes

Nothing much, just to wish HAPPY NEW YEAR and MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS! A new year for all, marks the days we have gone through and experienced, thus we must accumulate these experiences and use them properly this year.

Of Taiping, Penang, and Christmas!

Supremo Trip! Taiping is a great place! Food's good, air's good, view's (Lake Garden) good, and best of all, no traffic jam like K.L.!

Let's see, what have I done on the first day? Go straight to Taiping in Ken's car with Vijay and Sek Lun, then had a rest in Ken's house, then went around Taiping for a bit and ended up in Tesco to buy barbeque stuffs (bought my badminton shoe for Maxwell Hill and went into Taiping Central to watch midnight show of Ip Man (Great fighting moves!). Met a few of Ken's and Vijay's friends, who went with us to Maxwell Hill as well, very friendly they are. Then Sek Lun went hungry and so Ken brought us to a mamak stall. Went back and sleep in Ken's house.

Next day, packed up and got ready for Maxwell Hill/Bukit Larut/ Sing Kei San, and Sek Lun went a little sick, but nonetheless we still got up there. Took around 30 minutes to get up there with a jeep, it was hot then at 12 p.m. but when we reached the place, temperature dropped to like around 20 Celcius (I think). We rented an old bungalow of course, to stay for the night. Relaxed for a while at the place and went hiking for a bit, then a leech managed to stick itself on my ankle and sucked my blood. Vijay burned it and it fell off, but was released and spared of its life (with its stomach full). It's anti-coagulant saliva kept the blood flowing out, the wound took a whole night to dry.

I really regretted that I didn't hike the other places, but still it was relaxing up there. But we had barbeque of course, but the charcoal BBQ stove's too small and (only used it to smoke the sausages and fishballs) took too long to cook the chickens so we fried them instead, and we watched a movie on a laptop and went Christmas Carolling... at 2 a.m., then went to sleep. The old house filled with bugs.. moths particularly. The next day, woke up quite late, and went downhill at 12 p.m., and went for lunch before resting again in Ken's house. Then went out again for sightseeing around Taiping. Went to Lake Garden and yes, the view is fantastic. Then went and bought a racquet to substitute all my broken ones near the place where we all had lunch earlier.

After all that, we went to Sepetang (near the sea) to have seafood dinner, met another friend and then we all went to the Taiping Zoo for Night Safari, lotsa animals, but most are sleeping, and the African animals are grazing, oh well, animals.. sleep and eat. Finally, we went for a drink, and went back to Ken's house to sleep. Next day, packed for Penang, went straight there, and went to Batu Ferringhi to find a hotel but everything's too expensive, so we went for a casino cruise and rented a cabin to sleep. But before that we went to Gurney Plaza and explored the new wing with another of Vijay's friend, had lunch and played pool. And so, we boarded the ship that ferries us to the cruise, explored the cruise and found there's nothing worth doing other than gambling and eating, and also enjoying the sea's wind. Played Rm5 worth of slot machine and found out it's a stupid game, then went to the casino and see people win and lose money, then went back to sleep in the cabin.

Thus, we went back to Taiping and collected by badminton racquet, had lunch and counted our accounts, found out we spent more than RM300 throughout the trip, I spent almost RM500 including the racquet and badminton shoe... Ouch. Then took the bus and in 4 hours I've reached K.L. with Sek Lun. Brought him to Masjid Jamek Putra station to go to KL Sentral, and I myself went to take Masjid Jamek Star station, then walked another 20 minutes (as usual) to get home. And here I am, typing all these like a diary. Another of my memoir sealed in the blog. (If not, I might forget.) Time to sleep again!

Upcoming Holidays?

OH YES... Holiday is coming and tomorrow.. or in fact today (it's after 12.00 A.M.), I will be leaving for Taiping with a few friends and will be back before Christmas (hopefully). Really hope to have a good time there, taste some good food and get all the Law out of my head for a few days. Perhaps after the trip it really is time to buck up, and get REALLY into study mode (which probably won't happen with the self-discipline that I currently have). Of course, I'd love to go for more trips after this one, so anyone with plans please count me in as well!

In the meantime, let's look at the recent developments of US economy, this news in particular, really interests me. Chrysler and GM getting $17.4 Billion to get their arses off the hot pan, which they themselves created. Americans really are oil-guzzlers (and also money guzzlers, trying to , don't you think? Because of them, oil goes up to almost $150 per barrel, and yet (partly) because of them, oil goes back down to around $40 per barrel. Ford as well, who's closing down 10 of its factories, (Chrysler closes 30 and GM closes 2o) is also in deep sh*t.

And this bailout really stinks, are they going back to protectionism like what Malaysia is doing? They want their Big 3 to be like Proton? (at least still better than Proton though) If they're gonna wound up, why not let them? They deserved it for not forecasting an economic downpour, it's what all companies do, you don't get out of the trouble, or don't avoid the trouble in the first place, you simply die off and let the stronger competitor (Toyota) take the place. How many bailouts the Americanos are gonna make? All the big companies going bust will be expecting help from the government then? And I don't see much change in the stocks, merely rallied at +0.4% ( for the time being). How many jobs could the government save? The whole automobile industry only amounts to 0.6% of the working Americans.

Nonetheless, the loan's given, and it's up to Obama's decisions to save America. In fact, America is a great place for investment now, house prices have gone down, interest rates are down, it's currency depreciated again, and things are facing deflation, compare it with China and see. Oh well, I guess I have to stop here, gotta wake up early tomorrow for the trip. I'll be back.
