My first post for December 2013 will be the last for December 2013. Also will be the last for the calendar year. Hardly have time to blog, so can't help it. Haha...
31st December 2013. About half an hour till new year!
Where have the days gone by? Just about mid-year I was about to enter Renaissance Hotel KL to begin (more like re-start) my six months on-job training, at the same time hoping that it will go by A.S.A.P! How soon! Couldn't wait to complete training, and here I am now, training over and done with and now currently taking my final examination to get my diploma cert. Time flies by very quickly when you aren't counting down the days to anything...
The year is about to come to an end. New year resolutions? FUCK THAT. No lists for me! I am not the type to make silly resolutions that I may end up not fulfilling. Why stress myself out with regrets when I end up not achieving anything on the metaphorical list?
Speaking of regrets...do I have any regrets when I look back at the year gone past? I would be lying if I said I had no regrets. My one deepest regret would be the unfortunate incident in Penang earlier this year. If given another chance I would definitely not do what I did. But what is the point of regretting? The most important thing is to learn your lesson and move on. Try not to repeat that same mistake again. No more looking back... Got to move on... But that aside, I would much rather view the positives from this year. Plenty of good things happened to me this year. Whether it is material things I have received from people or kind words spoken to me, they were all precious memories which will be with me for the longest time.
Next year will be a whole new challenge for me. Supposing I graduate, it will mean that I will begin working full-time. Not sure which hotel to join or which country to work in, but I'm sure God has His plans for me. I just have to do what I have to do and do my very best and let God decide what's best for me for 2014.
When 2014 rolls around, it would be just about ten years ago that I was preparing to enter a private school which now I look back would practically take up most of my high school years. Back then it was scary, as I was supposed to go to a government school for Form 1, yet I was joining a totally new and different school. Now when I look back, time really has gone by so quickly, and though it has only been ten years so many things have changed. Some for the better, some for the worst. But it's better not to look back. Best to move forward and embrace what life has in store for us.
May 2014 bring everyone luck and good health. May God bless all spiritually and financially for the upcoming year ahead. Here's wishing everyone good health and may 2014 be a prosperous year for all. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
WELCOME, 2014!

today i turn 22...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
yeah, the seventh day of November is here... i am officially 22 years young today. so far, only my mother has texted me to wish me. no one else...but then again, it's midnight... i don't care, frankly speaking. i used to be so worried when people "forgot" my birthday. nowadays i just take any wishes as they come. if you are a true friend who remembers and wishes, then go ahead. if you choose to do the opposite, who am i to get upset? your choice. i don't want something small like this to dominate my head every year...
meanwhile, i have to work the morning shift (7 a.m. - 3 p.m.) later. no choice. got to force myself to get up early and go to work. only one month left till internship is over...
i have no idea how to celebrate turning 22. tonight i may be going out to dinner with my uncle and the family. not sure what restaurant though. they have been there before, without me. totally looking forward to tonight!
22 years young now! gosh, one more step closer to death...

what the f**k!!!???
BAD DAY.
i was robbed of my phone today. happened at around 1-something in the afternoon. it happened in an internet cafe that i have frequented a lot and assumed nothing like this would happen. seems i was mistaken all along... i guess i shall never set foot in ANY internet cafe again... all i lost was my phone, nothing else. the robber was a (probably drunk) Indian asshole and he only demanded the phone from me, despite my wallet being obviously placed on top of the table. i was shaken after all that happened. i was rooted to my seat when it all happened. it was so quick... the fucking Indian asshole robber even shouted at me in cantonese somemore. anyway i thank God that all he took was a phone that i could replace anytime and not my important documents... i also thank God that he didn't beat or hurt anyone else. such a harrowing experience. i had previously never encountered a robbery before, but i can safely say that in Malaysia now nowhere is ever safe...
*feeling confused now. should i have refused to give the phone to him, or did i make a right choice in just meekly handing it to him? on one hand i am glad he didn't hurt me and took only my phone, but on the other hand i am sad he took away my phone that contained almost all my important stuff...*
*i also want to wish that bloody Indian asshole and whoever his cohorts were, that karma will rear its ugly head at him and his gang. i hope to God that he will meet his ultimate doom. i hope that he will meet with a bad accident that kills him and he will suffer in hell for eternity. FUCKING INDIANS.*

here today, gone tonight...
goodbye, tough July and hello August! (please be kind to me. hehe...)
so it's the beginning of a brand new month... i have been working lately, as you can see with the lack of many blog posts recently. work has been kind to me. so far, so good... started on the 24th of June. the first two days were orientation days, but my hotel is nice enough to include those two days as work days, hence i will still be paid normal wages for those two days. incidentally, i received my first month's pay. got RM370. the normal allowance is RM300, but the extra RM70 is for the days i worked in June. all good.....
had to part with RM200 immediately as i owed my uncle that amount due to me taking out an early loan to buy my new Liverpool shirt for the upcoming Premier League season (yes, the shirt is important.). anyways, the remaining RM170 i used to buy a Philips MP3 player at Tesco in Paradigm Mall. the music player cost RM125. i haven't had an MP3 player for a few years now, so coupled with boring daily commutes to work without music i figured it was a worthwhile investment to get this MP3 player. it is simple to use and furthermore a new model. i initially wanted a Sony model, but the electrical goods staff claimed it was all sold out, and instead offered me this new model which was so new it wasn't even displayed yet! i tried it out, and was instantly amazed. the sound was so clear, so much better than my last MP3 player i had, which was a Creative brand one way back in 2004..... Philips is really under-rated...
i feel sad that my allowance was almost spent in one day alone, but i guess i had no choice. i insisted on buying the Liverpool jersey, so i guess no matter how many loans you take out initially in the end you have to pay back. well, i have to work hard for another month before receiving my next paycheck.....
i am hoping that the rest of August will be kind to me...
*goodnight and goodbye (for now)...*

Climb 'Til Your Dream Comes True
Often your tasks will be many,
And more than you think you can do.
Often the road will be rugged
And the hills insurmountable, too.
But always remember,
The hills ahead
Are never as steep as they seem,
And with Faith in your heart
Start upward
And climb 'til you reach your dream.
For nothing in life that is worthy
Is ever too hard to achieve
If you have the courage to try it,
And you have the faith to believe.
For faith is a force that is greater
Than knowledge or power or skill,
And many defeats turn to triumph
If you trust in God's wisdom and will.
For faith is a mover of mountains,
There's nothing that God cannot do,
So, start out today with faith in your heart,
And climb 'til your dream comes true!
And more than you think you can do.
Often the road will be rugged
And the hills insurmountable, too.
But always remember,
The hills ahead
Are never as steep as they seem,
And with Faith in your heart
Start upward
And climb 'til you reach your dream.
For nothing in life that is worthy
Is ever too hard to achieve
If you have the courage to try it,
And you have the faith to believe.
For faith is a force that is greater
Than knowledge or power or skill,
And many defeats turn to triumph
If you trust in God's wisdom and will.
For faith is a mover of mountains,
There's nothing that God cannot do,
So, start out today with faith in your heart,
And climb 'til your dream comes true!

Sometimes it's just not meant to be
 | ||
| Sometimes it's just not meant to be... I suppose it's true... Maybe it is time to let go... |
yeah...it's 2-something in the wee hours of the morning... I should be asleep (wanted to sleep early to start developing a healthy sleep pattern again) by now but I just don't really feel safe staying all alone in my uncle's house. Despite how annoying my cousins can be I admit that I (kinda) miss them. I guess I rather have annoying kids disturbing me than having too much silence but peace. I don't know. I have been rather nervous lately. Must be that darned day which is coming soon (next Tuesday, to be precise), which will be the C&G theory examination. I am not quite sure why I am nervous! Could it be due to the fact that I haven't even begun to study for the test, or it could be the fact that I will be seeing my batch mates for the first time since March (also not forgetting seeing them since they knew about the glass-throwing incident)? I don't quite know. Maybe I should just be positive and try not to think of the negatives...
Okay then. I shall get a bit of sleep. Not sure what to do later on in the morning, but I will find something to do...
Bye!

last day of May
TODAY'S THE LAST DAY OF MAY! *GOSH*...
Was scheduled to have the interview with Double Tree hotel this morning. Woke up early to get ready, then got a call from Cilantro Academy telling me that the interview had been cancelled due to the fact that the person who was supposed to interview me was not available... Oh well. Another time then. Was hoping that I could get the interview over and done with. But looks like I have to wait...
Fret not, for the day can't be wasted at home. My uncle and his family have attended a 4-day-3-night church camp at Port Dickson, and that means I have the whole house to myself. No one to invite over, though. Pathetic... Anyway, I decided to walk to Paradigm Mall to watch a movie. Guess what:
Yep, I watched not one, but TWO movies! First I watched Hangover Part 3. I didn't expect much from it; rather I just threw all logic out of the window and watched it purely for fun. It was great fun! Now, the second movie was rather special. I have waited for it with bated breath ever since I watched the trailer. Now You See Me was a much better movie than Hangover Part 3, and even though there were certain flaws in the plot and storyline I really enjoyed every moment of it. For those who have yet to watch it, quickly go watch it! It's worth your time and money!
I also dropped by Tesco to check out if there were any nice Hot Wheels cars to buy (Tesco's having a buy-2-free-1 offer now). I didn't get to find the cars I wanted, but these 3 will make do for now (since I don't have them yet). I bought a Ferrari 458 Spider, a 1968 Shelby GT500, and a BMW M3. Not bad (compared to the others on the racks)...
After all the fun was done in Paradigm Mall, I headed to a barber near my uncle's house to get a haircut. This is the result. It doesn't look particularly nice, but once it's gelled up, it'll look great...
Most importantly, today was the first time I took Bommie (my pair of Adidas NEO Clemente Mid) for shopping! She was really comfy (apart from the blisters I got on my right foot, due to my silly mistake of not wearing ankle socks). The pain was so unbearable that after watching Hangover Part 3 I immediately went to Brands Outlet to buy a box of 3-pack socks. Anyway I also needed new socks, so what the heck, just buy lah! Apart from that mistake of not wearing socks Bommie was comfy today. Very glad I bought her...
Overall, today has been quite a good day. I wish there will be more days like this, but I have to face reality; I have to re-start my job training, and I won't be free until (maybe) after December (apparently the month I finish my job training at Double Tree)... *sigh*
