as i am constantly trying to get my family out of the lower income kais pagi makan pagi state and heading no where, i went home to find myself a surprise.
a new second hand car. wow, look at how contradictory the sentence phrase new second hand car is.
no i didn't buy a car, but my dad did. but we already have a used car? so now we ended up having 5 cars at home. well 3 cars, 1 truck (belongs to dad's company) and a van.
reason for buying the car? so that my sister can drive to college and my mom doesn't have to fetch her up and down with the existing car. wait a minute, there seems to be an issue here. the thing is, buy a second hand car to replace another second hand car that is still functional. hmm...
spent 20+ thousand for a 3 years old Atos. good buy or not, as much as i want to be supportive of my parents decision, the heck my sister just can't drive the manual which i've been driving for umpteen years? reasons there are many, few of them are 1) its manual 2) its hard to drive since no power steering 3) etc... bla bla bla.
but have it occurred to any of them, beggars don't choose?
ok we are not beggars, we probably can afford a 20+ thousand new second hand car. but... to buy it now? gah... and in cash. OMG. my dad just cut himself 20+ thousand loose. which he could use it for investment. not something like a new second hand car. furthermore my mom and sister didn't really complain about not having a car and if mom is tired and sick of fetching my sister around then its up to my sister to suck it up and drive the old charade until she can afford to pay for installment.
why is it that they don't understand how much of waste it is to dump 20+ thousand for a used car! GOSH.
not pissed at any of my family members but more of the idea of spending 20+ thousand on a piece of used crap that will deficit by the seconds.
sigh the frustration! do they even know how long they can survive with the 20+ thousand if in future there is any mishaps? darn it...
i'm throwing in the towel for now.
sorry for the rant. but i have to. i need to. if only there is a certain someone who would just give me a pat on the back or maybe even a hug. gah...
cant wait till this saturday.

A Not So Dull 2009
Year end is closing in.
2010 dropping by like 2009 was just yesterday.
The sweet sour bitter of 2009 will remain as valuable experiences and memories.
Merry Christmas to all and just in case I party too hard, have a great new year as well!
Quarter of a decade and I think this time, I really need a sound resolution for the year 2010.
Come on, how long can a dude chill when his career is not even built?
Discipline. Need tons of them. Lots of things need to be done.
I will take time to plan out 2010. Won't be having a super uber packed 2010 but at least there are things that I want to achieve by the time it ends.
Why waste life when you can enjoy it to the fullest with a little bit of goals and objectives in the end?
Make it a fruitful year. Every single bit. Realize the reality of when time flies, boy do these suckers fly.
Back to the drawing board for me.
God! Guidance, Wisdom, Grace, Blessings and Mercy from you puhleeeze!
"Lifeeeeeee... oooooooh.... life...."

Updates on March!
My birthday was a peaceful one. Spent lunch with my lovely girlfriend and at night had a simple meal with mom and dad and a simple cake cutting ritual.
Cake was awesome, American Chocolate. Delicious!
Birthday aside, I have started going back to CG lately and am enjoying myself in the presents of God loving and fearing people. Something that I have neglected for quite a while now, wonder why I went MIA in the first place. Work, tiredness… etc, I think none of the excuses sounds right to me now.
Work have been getting slow lately. Worries me since I’m still under probation and if were to change job, it would be rather tough unless if I deviates from my current field. No point thinking about it now though, a step at a time.
I’m getting fatter by the day! I was alarmed with I notice my belly is developing exceptionally well; hence it triggered me to pay the gym a visit. Will start to jog or hitting the gym frequently from now on, no way in hell that I want to have the same size belly as my dad! NEVER!
Had a good chat with Metal recently about life and about almost everything under the sun. To conclude our conversation, I think all men are the same despite intelligence or experience. Only men will understand men. Even if it meant risking myself sounding like a gay but it is very true. We can understand each other’s worries without having to say much.
Oh well, am sick and hungry now. Shivering in the office even after I put on my jacket. Can’t wait till lunch time. Roar!

Maths!
*click to enlarge*And I thought I was the only one with bad instincts while doing math. I guess the tiger is not very far off from me.

restless
by Don Hogan Charles/The New York TimesAm currently not contented anymore with what I know, what I have and what I am doing.
The overwhelming feeling to achieve more in my career and to challenge greater heights have made my stomach toss and turn.
The level of stressed that comes with this dissatisfaction makes me want to throw up. And it felt like I'm about to do that every time I'm made to do mundane and brainless tasks.
Especially when arrogant yet incapable person are promoted to be managers treating us the service personnel like a second hand jerk offs fumes my agitation. Logic no longer applies when these insolent fools take over. They just want to show who is in charge yet they totally suck at what they do.
Even though I'm risking myself sounding like one of these arrogant and incapable working machines, yet I have had to purge this foreign and uncomfortable entity out of my system. Else, I would probably throw up here and now having the unfair scenarios kept looping in my mind.
Heck... when is my opportunity going to come? I want it bad, I want it now!
pffftttt... screw the corrupted system. I'm running renegade...
... while I sleep.
Useless eh? In the end, have still to give in to worldly ways for survival sake. Or maybe I am just that powerless and incapable to begin with.
Either way, soy un rebelde...
ése es todo para los lectores ahora estimados .

merdeka... merdeka... merdeka!
All races celebrating National Day Woot. 51st National Day celebration finally ended.
Good to see all Malaysian despite the current messy political and economical state stood side by side and yelled MERDEKA! as one.
So if you ask me who am I, where I am from and what race am I? Here is the answer:
Name: Siah
Country: Malaysia
Race: Malaysian
Yup. I am a Malaysian. Despite color, despite language or dialects, despite religion and despite many more differences, I am born in Malaysia, living in Malaysia and proud to be a Malaysian.
This country is mine to claim as well and no cheap ass politicians can take that away from me no matter what they say or do.
Happy Merdeka to all Malaysians out there no matter where you are currently. Cheers.
Enough of patriotism, went check out Myvi finally and finally made a booking for the car. Well, soon enough I'll be couple of hundred short each month but I guess it is alright since I can finally claim that this is my car, fully paid by me and I am the owner. :)
However, bad thing is, a friend of mine who stayed a few streets away got his 20 year old Nissan car stolen just yesterday. He woke up today and found out that the old trusty no where to be seen.
Syucks, just when I am about to get a new car and this happen near my neighbourhood. Car thieves, screw you all. Can't you guys just work hard and earn a living instead of taking other's belongings for your own profit?
I think we do need a Dark Knight.

day out with family
Finally brought my mom and sister out.
Supposedly to spend on them but in the end paiseh lar, i bought quite some new clothings for myself instead.
Cant blame me though, mom just went :"I think this will look nice on you, go try. Girl don't you think this shirt look nice on your kor kor"
Well at least I offered to pay for all those items even though mom wanted to pay. Working boy now, so can't be too dependent on my mom anymore. But she bought me one shirt though in the end.
What to do? Mom's favorite mar... at least I paid for my sister's shoe and a treated them to a fancy lunch in Zanmai sushi. Not a bad place lar, price almost similar to the rest of the sushi outlets out there. The only part i enjoyed is the soft shell crab, satisfying.
Days like today won't last forever, not when petrol price have to be hiked up so many percent.
With the current situation, many heads will roll. Let's pray that everyone can keep their job and continue to make a living in this dire condition. When the country is mismanaged, what else do we - the people, expect?
Embrace the impact and survive through the sufferings perhaps.
At this point, I seriously do not know who we as the citizens of Malaysia can trust to bring us out of this misery. Those in power or those trying to gain power?
Ciaozoo...
