Hi all,

sorry for my long silence, no update from me eh... been quite busy abit, even now writing, i feel abit tired and lazy... so now the sem has started, i'm in my 3rd n final year!!! gosh this'd be my final year to be a student, after which i'll be fully a "worker" hahaha... so wat has been happening during my holidays eh? update for u all:

nothing much happened during holiday.

booo....

serious, since it's just a short holiday i didnt plan to go or do something extra ordinary... apart from occasional paktoh with yennie then i didnt go anywhere liao, except for the last weekend. went for a camp in Eco Dusun in Pahang... haha, organised by Career Development Society, and the guys behind CDS, who else? G, Alvin and the rest of the gang lah, who else? muahaha...basically the whole camp is great... go thru obstacle course, treasure hunt, jungle n night walk, flying fox, raft building and race... all those normal things that u do in camp lah! the camp was for 3 days, Friday to Sunday... it was fun, n news is dat another one is coming up by the end of this sem, this time in Sungkai... i wana go, but i'll see when the time comes. when the camp finished we went down to Bentong for lunch, where the gang saw a karaoke set in the restaurant... thats it lah.. karaoke session!!! memekak saja... pity other diners there hahaha...

2 days before the camp starts i went i ce skating with yennie.. and i had a terrible fall... i skated too fast, and i fell knee down, making a split at knee level.... ouch!!! it was so damn painful i cant get up for a minute.... even walking feels like my leg is lembik... the right knee is ok not long after, but the left knee has some problem... went to the doc the next day for x-ray, lucky nothing's wrong with the bones, no break no crack... just soem overstretched ligaments and tendons... doc says might take more than a week to heal... it's been a week now, though i've got no pain but still feel lembik... and my legs cant twist at certain angle without giving a "broken leg" feeling... anyway since nothing's wrong with the one, i went for the camp lah...

another thing, i cancelled trip with my family to pangkor next week... dont feel like going... wana laze around and catch up with some of my reports... redang trip next month, i cant go coz alvin says the place is already fully booked, no more empty seats... dang, i shud've asked bout the trip earlier... talking bout reports, no it's not thesis i'm talking about, though thesis is very important at this time of the year, got only 6 months to kautim everything... sheesh, dono wat to do oso... maybe i can do something about my employer?

yeah u read that right... i'm an employee now... remember about my blog post here some months back that i'm working on a project and my tutor is doing something about it? finally here i am.... not exactly employee lah... contract worker la... working for Fortner n Assoc, a company which specialize in training and development, working as a junior analyst... analyse a company's position, the job, the need, the people working at it, then write report and suggestion/solutions... not a salaried position, i'm paid on a per assignment basis, so i can do the job on my own pace within deadline.

i dont even need to go to the office! everything's done thru the net and email... thats y i am really in need of streamyx in my house now!!! and the pay is quite good too....compared to the job i'm doing, minimal work coz it's a team based job, i get the data inputs from researcher, i dont even need to analyse anything... just type out report, giving suggestions on types of training and pass over to senior analyst to double check. after that the report goes to training dept and the client... what they do with it is not my biz... as long as i get my money... except, no EPF n SOCSO la... contract worker wat... but then it may be good for now, i know i'll get bored with it soon, plus this is not the job i want to start off my career... by the time i grad, the rate i'm getting will tak cukup makan liao...

so basically there's nothing much after camp, came back sg long, slept like log from 7pm till 10 am the next day.... and yesterday i went for the first lecture of the week, nothing special... go to class come back.... rain in the afternoon cats and dogs... and it's a long one... from 3pm till 10pm non-stop... and today helped out at CDS booth, only went to the lecture for a while... then go to kajang to register phone line... dang, number was finished so cant register today, have to wait for a few days before can re check if there's any phone number available... geez... might will take some time before i can finally get streamyx in my room!

so i guess that's all my update for now lah... till the next time, chiao!

It hurts to love someone

and not be loved in return

but what is most painful is to love someone

and never finding the courage to let the

person u know how you feel.



Maybe God wants us to meet

a few wrong people

before meeting the right one

so that when we finally

meet the right person

we should know how to be grateful for that gift



Love is when u take away the feeling ,

the passion, the romance -

and u still find out u still care for that person



A sad thing about life

is when u meet someone

that means alot to u,

only to find out in the end,

that it was never meant to be,

and u just have to let go.



when one door of happiness closes,

another opens but often we look

so long at the closed door

that we sont see the one

which has been opened for us.



The best kind of friend,

is the one u could sit on a porch,

and swing with,

never say a word,

and then walk away,

feeling like that was the best

conversation u've had.



it's true we that dont know

wat we've got until we lose it

but it's also true that we dont know

wat we've been missing until it arrives



Giving someone all your love

is never an assurance that they'll love u back

dont expect love in return

just wait for it to grow in their heart

but if it doesnt,

be content it grew in yours



there are things u love to hear

but u would never hear it

from the person from whom

you would like to hear it

but dont be deaf to hear it from the person

who says it with his heart.



never say goodbye

when u stil want to try

never give up when

u still feel u can take it

never say u dont love that person

anymore when u cant let go



love come to those who still hope

even though they've been disappointed,

to those who stil believe

even though they've been betrayed

need to love those who still love

even though they've been hurt before



it takes a minute

to have a crush on someone

an hour to like someone

and a day to love someone,

but it takes a lifetime

to forget someone



dont go for looks,

it can deceive

dont go for wealth

even that fades away

go for someone

who makes u smile

because only a smile

makes a dark day seems bright

hope u find that person.



there are moments in life

when u really miss someone

that u want to pick them

from ur dreams

and hug them for real

hope u dream of that someone



dream wat u want to dream

go where u wan to go

be wat u wan to be

cause u have only one life

and one chance to do all the

things u want in life.



may u have enuf happiness

to make u sweet

enuf trials to make u strong

enuf sorrow to keep u human

enuf hope to make u happy

and enuf money to buy me gifts (haha..!)

always put urself in other's shoes

if u feel that it hurts u

it hurts the person too



a careless word may kindle strife

a cruel word may wreck a life

a timely word may level stress

a loving word may heal and bless

an honest word blooms like a flower

a lying word is worse than filth



the beginning of love

is to let those we love

be perfectly themselves

and not to twist them with our own image

otherwise we love only

the reflection of ourselves we find in them



the happiest of people

dont necessarily have the best of everything

they just make the most of everything

that comes along their way



happiness lies for those who cry

those who hurt, those who have searched

and those who have tried.

for only they can appreciate

the importance of people

who have touched their lives



love starts with a smile

develops with a kiss

and ends with a tear



the brightest future

will always be based on a forgotten past

u cant go on well in life

until u let go of ur

past failure and heartaches



when u were born,

u were crying

and everyone around u was smiling.



live ur life so that when u die

u're smiling

and everyone around u is crying



regards,

Andrew
