Empty?

That's how I'm feeling now... Have you ever felt like your days are passing without any achievements? Like you are just wasting your 'Ching Chun' (youth-days). Well, that's how I'm currently feeling. Don't get me wrong, I love holidays. When I finished my last paper in July, I could feel this burden lifted from me, it was the best feeling ever. But now I feel like I have been floating for so long, it's a bit nauseatic now...


Floating among the clouds...


I guess the saying is true, that people are never satisfied with what they have. For instance, If you read my last post, you would know that I worked for an event management company, and honestly, I had a great time. Not because of the event (well, the event was great too), but it was because I was part of something, I had an objective in life. When I wake up in the morning, I knew exactly what I needed to do, and it felt nice.


Oh, yeah. I was also awarded for being one of the best temps. Looks like all those sleepless nights were worth it =p


Also got this laptop bag which the delegates had to pay RM1300 to get =p


I have been slowing down on partying, drinking and clubbing recently, which is a good thing, considering that classes are starting soon. Oh, FYI, I finally decided to choose Computing as my specialism. Since I learn a bit of everything, I guess it's better than mastering in something in this ever changing world and I have been told that in my field, it doesn't really matter what your specialism is.


Specialising in making lame jokes?


Where was I? Ah, yes! you might have realised by now that this post is all about me complaining, and talking about rubbish which everyone knows it as common sense, but I just felt like stating the obvious because we are so ahead of ourselves that we sometimes forget the simplest thing in life =p


Views like these help me to think properly...


So, although I do all this whining and complaining, I do know my life will return to it's normal hectic self soon, when my classes start. And this time, I am ready for it =p

The End Has Come...

YES! I'm afraid that it is true, my holidays have come to an end. In a little more than 2 weeks from today, I will be sitting in classes listening to lecturers talking about how difficult it's gonna be over and over again. And before you know it, you are thrown with tons of homework and assignments. It's a little scary actually, I am almost definitely sure that I will be choosing Mobile Computing as my major when I register tomorrow, but I somehow feel like I should be taking something else. Maybe I should be taking the same major as my other friends? I am taking a major step here actually, none of my ex classmates are taking the same major as I and I'll be all alone. Maybe it's exactly what I need to help me concentrate on my studies. The only thing I'm afraid is that I might regret later. From my experience of interrogating people from this field, they all ask me to do whatever I love, because in the end, that degree is just a ticket for me to enter that interview room, the rest is really up to your character and personality. I know, I sound very long-winded, like a 9 year old boy who has been awaken in the middle of the night by his parents and is told to choose who he wants to marry =p

People seem to be disappearing from my life in a very rapid rate. I don't know about the rest but I have always had this universal question of "Who is the main character in this play?" I always think that I, myself is the main actor and the rest of the people in this world are the supporting characters. But of course, everyone feels exactly the same as I do, because one can only see the world from one's eyes. This greatly helps me whenever I feel like the world is being unfair to me. I tell myself that imagine running multiple operating systems at the same time and every operating system is running its own software and programs. That would be a massive load of burden on the ram and processor. I know I sound like a true nerd now, but bare with me =p People are like the operating system and the story of our lives are like the software and programs that we run. Every program that runs on each operating system are equally important to the respective operating systems. And yes, you guessed it, the programs are the life events that each one of us experience. So although someone's birthday means squat to me, but to that person, it means the world and I tell that to myself all the time. So, next time you see my making a decision and suddenly changing my mind, that is when all of the above happens in my mind.


The graffiti I saw on my way to PJ, very talented people...

Actually, it is a good thing that people are leaving and things are starting to settle down, since my holidays are coming to a halt. I just sent Elaine back to the States yesterday and the twins left without a word as usual although we did have a kick ass drinking session before that =p I don't know, but this time the impact is greater than the last time they all left, maybe this time I was free, or maybe I got closer to them this time... Well, it will be at least another year before I see their faces again.


Having dinner before going to Putrajaya...


One of the fireworks display...

So, how have I been spending my 2 months holiday? Well, it started with weekly outings of clubbing with Sha and the gang, and when the twins and Elaine came back, it was mamak and drinking sessions with Andy, Abby, Elaine and Evonne. Some midnight movies, computer hunting with Elaine in Low Yat. Then there was the Malaysia International Fireworks Competition in Putrajaya. Recently, I did a part time job with Microsoft for their Tech-Ed event. Although it was a 4-day event, but prior to that, the interviews and briefings made it seem forever, but it was a great experience and I learnt a lot from it.


The girls trying to look serious =p


The guys getting their 15 minutes fame =p


One of the better pics taken, I must say...


Only people from our gang will go to McD at 1 in the morning after coming back from Bangsar to paint their nails =p



Something to remind me of the event...


All access pass!!! And the delegated had to pay RM 1,300 for it =p


So, before I start my classes, I think I'll go for one last clubbing session, one last drinking session and also one last mamak session just to make this holiday a worthwhile one before I go to Bandung in December =p
