My laptop is letting me down again. This time, the adapter cable can hardly be detected. The laptop power will remain uncharged until I found the right "position" to ensure the power input is detected. It is terribly frustrating. At this period of time, I'll remain offline most of the time and online when it's necessary. The hassle of recharging the battery keeps me off the laptop. To make things worse, I've a few TN forms that needs to be matched urgently and AIESEC.net is shifted into 'Read-only Mode', which means that whatever dealings that requires the use of Insight XP (e.g. editing, adding TN forms) could not be carried out for a period of time.
I've just came back from Penang yesterday (Saturday, 25th Feb) after the closing of the UUM's We CARE project which took place the day before. It was a short time spent in Penang and it's actually an unplanned trip but it's enough as I've to be there again on the following week when I'll be attending USM's BUDAYA concert in the university itself, coming Saturday. That's a planned trip =P. The concert sounds great and we're eagerly waiting till that night arrives, but for the period of 5 days before that, beginning tomorrow, my LC will be my concern. We'll be having our first GM (General Meet... any other suggestions or ideas for a better name than that...? =P) and AIESEC Annual Dance & Dinner, co-organizing with UKM which will take place in Equatorial Hotel, Kuala Lumpur on the same day, Friday, 3rd March. Before that, EBs Meet on Wednesday. Way to go...
Alright, the laptop is making noise again. I gotta get it shut down soon. I'm praying for a great week to follow. God bless.
Back To Business...
Alright, back to real business where I've to juggle between handling AIESEC and making sure I'm doing fine in my studies. One by one assignments are allocated to the students at the beginning of each semester, which is now. I can really feel the heat is on where effective time management is crucial here. Not careful enough, there I'll go, struggling behind to keep everything balanced. Nobody would ever want to be left behind, I'm sure.
1st week of the semester is coming to an end and I've already missed two lectures. Bad, I know... I don't want to justify as there's definitely a reason to that. My greatest achievement this week? Up to now, ...is AIESEC TBS Introduction Day/Information Session 2006. I was unhappy though as I've to set everything up on my own (with a little help from Victor) on that day and closed the session my own as well (this time, with a little help from Yoong Hui). Everyone was telling me it was an event well done but deep down in me, I've failed to utilize my members in that. I should've let my members handle because it's all about experience, huh? Anyway, another learning point there. Afterall, it really went well and the members were impressed with the presentations (I hope...=P). A couple of people signed up for AIESEC. Thanks to the UKMers as well for the materials and their show of support in participating in our session.
I'll be leaving for Port Dickson together with some of my EBs today (Friday) for a camp. It's about some leadership developing stuff, organized by TBS. Everyone's telling me of how interesting this camp will be. Any chance close to the AIESEC leadership development seminars? Lol. We'll see about it and I'm really looking forward to this. I wanna see how good this camp could be. I hope it's really good. I'm sure I'm gonna miss a lot of KL's events this weekend. Hope somebody would save some moments for me, at least in photographs =P.
We CARE Roadshow will be happening next week. I didn't hear much updates from either sides. Pretty worried here as I think the preparations ain't enough somehow. I've the feeling that it'll be a mess at the beginning. Hopefully, I'm wrong. But I've to keep myself from taking control of the team again. I'll be repeating my mistakes for taking experiences away from my members. All the best for them to prove me wrong. And I hope members from the organizing LC won't give my members any troubles too.
I've to get prepared for the trip. I have yet to pack a single thing in my rucksack. Gotta move my butt off my chair, in front of the computer. AIESEC will rock the camp. I'm certain that we will as we're gonna entertain the participants with our square dances! We're hot to GO! ;D

It's Valentine's Day!
Despite not being able to spend the day with someone I think I should, it's not too bad here going through the whole day today either. At least that's the way I console myself for the day. It's meant to be celebrated with loved ones, like close friends and family members, right? Although I'm missing her, I can only settle with the sweet sound of her voice for the day. Fortunately, i'm blessed with her presence in my heart.
It's okay, sweetheart. Don't be sorry for not being able to be with me and having no gift for this beautiful occasion. No gift for Valentine's Day? I don't think so. I've you in my life, the best gift I ever had.
Happy Valentine's Day.
;)

Learning Process 1 - Mamak Session
As being one of my favourite hobbies, mamak session will be one of the many favourites in most Malaysians' culture. Personally, I enjoy it because you get updates of your friends' daily activities, who they're into lately, how much they've spent in last three days and etc, but most importantly, you get to know about them better and how you can actually learn from them. I would sometimes think that how fortunate I am for not being in their position and be thankful of it. It helps in self-reflecting and analyzing too.
There was once when a friend, M told me that he has a dream. A dream of earning big bucks and living a life which every person in the whole world would be dreaming about. I saluted him for a fabulous dream and vision he is owning but is he taking the steps of realizing his dreams? What makes things worse are the attitude of him bragging all the way that he's already earning thousands of US DOLLARS and his late father has left him some valuable assets? In front of us who're close to him and know every single bits of his life? Awfully horrifying statement. To be frank, I admire his will to go big but isn't it a bit of an unnecassary action to brag imaginary things, just to catch some females' attention? Another friend of mine, P said he's a loser, who likes to brag. Is he really a loser? My opinion: No, he isn't a loser. A little sympathetic to this dear friend of mine and the real story is...

M's father passed away when he's still studying in high school. As being the eldest among
the three siblings, he has to be the breadwinner of his family. From the
current conditionof his family, he vowed to continue to provide a comfortable living
for them, taking over his father's legacy. That's why he has big dreams.
His intention is clear, sincere and kind. He wants to support his two younger
brothers in their studies. Assuming that he won't excel in studies anyway, therefore,
he chose not to further his tertiary studies after high school and save the money for
his brothers' acedemic fees instead. However, it made him developed a habit,
bragging the false and untrue.
It is understood that the real reason for him doing that is because he doesn't want
anybody to see the hell that he's now going through. He wants to be known as a normal
and capable person, just like everybody else. I pity him for that but talking about the false
without knowing the limit can do damage to himself one day. Instead of building confidence
to himself, he'll lose it terribly when everyone finds out that he can't be trusted and no one
would listen to him. The trust will be gone. He'll be known as someone who can't be frank
to himself and everybody else.

I've known M for almost 8 years. I've never given up hope on him. As being a friend who's the closest to him after his brothers, I really, really admire his will to go beyond everybody's doubts. What I'm afraid of is, before he can really make it (I know he will), everybody has already turn their backs on him. Then, he'll experience the most terrible moment of his life and eventually, harmful to his self-esteem and confidence.
Till then, hope he'll really understand why do I keep on reminding him to keep his feet solely on the ground. God bless.

I'm Back...
My sis & I with "gunny" poses
This blog of mine had experienced some funny setbacks for a couple of days and got me a little upset too. Why upset? I've been keeping tracks with the blogs of the people I know through the "Link" I've created in my blog page. They had lost twice. First was when I accidentally chose a new design outline wihout saving my HTML codes and it meant that I've to start searching for the lost URLs. I had to do the same again recently when my HTML code gone nuts suddenly... and my main page of the blog showed nothing except some funny HTML codes. This means that technology can't be too reliable sometimes and I hate looking for the same URLs over and over again.
五月天 - 知足 (Mayday - Be Content With)
怎么去拥有 一道彩虹
How can I own a rainbow?
怎么去拥抱 一夏天的风
How do I embrace all the breezes of the summer?
天上的星星 笑地上的人
The stars above laugh at people on the ground
总是不能懂 不能觉得足够
They (people on the ground) can not understand; can’t be contented with
如果我爱上 你的笑容
If I fall in love with your smile
要怎么收藏 要怎么拥有
How do I collect it (her smile)? How can I own it (her smile)?
如果你快乐 不是为我
If you are happy; but not because of me
会不会放手 其实才是拥有
If I let you go; that (let her go) is truly owning you?
当一阵风吹来 风筝飞上天空
When a wind comes and the kites fly up high
为了你 而祈祷 而祝福 而感动
I pray for you; then I wish for you; and I am feeling touched
终于你身影 消失在 人海尽头
Finally your silhouette; disappears at the end of the crowds
才发现 笑着哭 最痛
Then I realized; to cry with a smile on; is most painful
那天你和我 那个山丘
That day you and me, on that hill
那样的唱着 那一年的歌
To sing together like that; that year’s songs
那样的回忆 那么足够
That kind of memories; are so enough for me
足够我天天 都品尝着寂寞
Enough for me to everyday; taste the loneliness (of your absence)
当一阵风吹来 风筝飞上天空
When a wind comes and the kites fly up high
为了你而祈祷 而祝福 而感动
I pray for you; then I wish for you; and I am feeling touched
终于你身影 消失在 人海尽头
Finally your silhouette; disappears at the end of the crowds

如果你快乐 不是为我
If you are happy; but not because of me

If I let you go; that (let her go) is truly owning you?
知足的快乐 叫我忍受心痛
The happiness of being contented with it, is asking me to endure the heartache
