I will never get used to this

Originally uploaded by LiseMac

Consider this, after two whole month of being pampered when I was back in my hometown, I have to face the reality that I need to come back here again to my university, and the first week was always hard, even though I was here for more than 3 years already.
The first thing is getting used to the food period. I don't think I'll ever be used to the food here, everytime I came back here, there is this getting used period which can range from two weeks to a month of food poisoning related symptom, if you don't know what that symptom may be, please use webmd for that, i know, most people do not bother to use the web to do such activity, and they made me to search for them, well, here's a newsflash for you all: the web is not only for porn! although i have no doubt that no one have any difficulty in finding any interesting site which may lead to that. and if you are wondering if i use it for that purpose.... yes!
then was the getting used to the price. they claim that food in sibu is getting more expensive, but comparing to here, kolok mee, used to be RM 4.50 now became, RM 6. I still haven't got through that yet, and the price hike for Sibu, kampua, RM 2 to RM 2.20 Not that big difference! Of course I need get used to this. Some sort of culture shock for me too.
after that was the absence if air conditioning, and wireless, yes, i can't online in toilet no longer! but the heat if still bearable. however, the mosquitoes is the only thing i dislike.
i missed home, and i missed old lady, gone were the days where i could just ring her and get her out. at least till december

Okay, I have to post this in both blogs because there are some folk out there don't know both of it, so, I need to copy twice
The boss lady of this shop just invited some folk to enjoy her delicacy, and I forgot to thank her for this wondrous treat.

Okay, in stead of taking pictures like 'serious' bloggers do, I did something rather different, I eat and have my little bro do all that work, and this post has been in draft for a week already. I am so busy with everything else these days

I forgot the drinks list, so if you readers happened to stop by the shop, in delta mall, please buy buy and buy and also tell me the name.

Okay here's a preview of the menu, the only downside of the place is that there are limited seat, but that also is an advantage as you won't hang around in one shop for a whole hour, as you can get it and move around the building.

At this point in my post, suddenly my notebook failed, so no more pictures, anyway, I think I had a nice time. Thanks all.

Okay, I was there, too, just I didn't have to show my equipment around like all those other people, had a light meal, eat, and drink, laugh, and go back. Then someone else shows up which I've just in time missed his grandeur appearance, but what the heck, I need to pick up someone.

Okay, sorry guys, I'm the last to put it up, too busy with my beauty sleep. ha ha.

If we retrace back our step

Pick a common occupation, lets say a teacher. You ask them, what does it mean to be a teacher? Well, you get all sort of wonderful things from them, and asked them, an example of distinguished person who inspired them to be one. Well, this is the time they mention the unlimited apple polisher which comes with the job. Well, some people even have some sort of corporate tales in order to inspire them to work harder.

An architect will always have the story of Frank Lloyd Wright and his legendary leaked roof, and literally become the stories of all those proud architect who gave it their all in their job. Older generation architect will tell that tales over and over and suddenly that story stopped somewhere and it just end there. Thus there's this sense of urgency for stories to be published, website to established, and all sort of effort to capture that loss knowledge before if finally died, and hopefully, someone will try to look back and be amazed.

In construction industry, there are no pride for the engineers. Who usually get the compliment? The architect, or the client. Look at the magnificent pyramid, who gets all the honor? The Pharaoh, and only his name will be remembered. Thank God that that time they don't compare phallus like we do, the longer it'll become. and who gets the glory? Is it the engineer? The engineer might only be known in certain circles of people, and that's it.

Asked a civil engineer: What does it mean to an engineer? Usually you'll get the normal response, long hours short pay. Well, why are we doing this job? We have been exploited, and abused and a whole lot other factors till up to a point where there is no passion in doing what we do.

Now, ask an engineer to tell a tale that inspire them, or, ask them who John Smeaton was. Well, I have absolute faith in them that they have no idea. Well, there's a lot of tale of passion in this once proud profession. Now this is only a job.

I want to enjoy what i do. I really do. I know the story, I know the concept, and I am real good when I have a reference book beside me. I only know that my stories when reproduced in foochow will sound funny

What's up with you?

Dear readers from Malaysia,
Have you ever notice that there's this constant call for Malaysian bloggers to stand up?
First of all, ever asked yourselves who claim to be 'standing up'? Why?
Do we really need that much standing up? I would be more interested if they said something like sit down and relax. In that effect, how about be something more practical like
"Malaysian, learn how to tell bullshit when you see one." Well, honestly, aren't we been fed too much bullshit till in some way that we were full of shit ourselves?

I was amazed by the fuckers of the government party claiming that the opposition is playing 'Anwar playing a political game, says Najib'. To throw this insidious claim at them is just like telling teachers that they are teaching. I was laughing like hell when I read that news. Of course they are doing that. Isn't that their job to do that. What kind of bullshit are they talking about? And to post this up as a headline, is this what journalism really about?

Of course this raise a very important question following that.If Anwar is being political, what on earth are the government front doing? Well, this is what bloggers are suppose to do. Use your brain and think. See more of what he's talking about. I'm not really implying that they did something they aren't suppose to do, just that I wasn't aware that something has been done regarding this.

I honestly do not like to stand up. So, I won't join in the others who claim to 'stand' I would rather sit down and think before I come out with possible things.

Malaysian: Think! Not just bloggers, but everyone as a whole.

Plus an impressive skill is the ability to tell bullshit.

Another issue I would like to say is this thing so called independent ACA. First of all, what does independent mean? They need green light from someone especially when you can see this line "show the seriousness of the Barisan Nasional government in fulfilling a key promise in our manifestos in the 2004 and 2008 elections" source. Why do we need them to do that? Have they ever hear the term: The hand that rocks the cradle.... Now which hand is involved? Think about it.

Use your head once in a while. It helps

As for those who ask everyone to stand, you might never have heard this:

Don't just stand there and do nothing!!!! Idiots!
I guess this education system really fuck everyone from thinking creatively.
