Publishing a book?

I enjoy blogging. 
But I don't publicise my blog. 
The first reason is that this blog is not for everybody's attention. (at this moment)
If I knew that some particular person is reading, I would have write it in a more cautious way. which I don't wish it to be that way. 
When the right time is here, someday in the future, I will publicise it. 

I always wanted to write about what is happening in my university life. (to be more precise, my course) So many stories that are so raw and original. Yet, they are so dramatic. So interesting that even I can make it to a harry-potter-thick book that can be arranged on the best-seller bookshelf in Popular. (hahaha, chehhhh)

just wait for it.

The Serigala of Jalan Dinding

I see myself as a very artistic person.
I love music, I love movie and I also love both of them combine = musical.
I watch Disney animation when I was small. I guess that is how the artistic seed planted inside of me.
Ever since Disney's Frozen was out, everyone came to me and ask me to watch it. Apparently everyone knows I will like it. And then when I finally got the chance to watch it on my lappy, it turns out I really love it! Who doesn't enjoy watching a Disney animation? NO ONE!

Thanks to some of my friends I mix with, I get to know more about how to judge the "good" or "bad" of a movie. How to be more picky and demanding on choosing a good movie.
Sort of.

I used to think that Hollywood movie were all good. Good in script, good in quality, good in acting, good in plot. But after listening to the very-often-and-loud movie discussion that some of my friends always had in the lecture room, I started to get brainwashed a little. wtf

There are a lot of crappy Hollywood movies out there.
Sudden realisation! I have watched several of them in the cinema before.

Due to them, I started to watch more award-winning movies than before. Most of the movies were introduced by them. Most of them are guaranteed to be boring/not so commercialised.
But I enjoyed watching some of them.


Silver Linings Playbook was awesome.
Jennifer Lawrence was awesome. Bradley Cooper was awesome.
end of comment.
nah... cos I watched it quite long time ago already, forgotten almost half of the story, but what I am impressed about is the acting of both the main characters. #applause

The latest movie I watched was the academy-award-nominated movie The Wolf of Wall Street.
Lately the internet has been bombarded with the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio for not winning the Best Male Actor in the Oscar for his role in the movie. This makes me wanted to watch it even more.
This movie is almost 3 freaking hours long!
and I enjoyed watching every second of it.
The storyline was about a stockbroker convicting fraud crimes related to stock market manipulation.


just 1 word to describe the movie : very-testosterone-boosting
I mean, just to be fair, I'm not just mentioning about all the naked ladies that will appear almost after 15 minutes of every scenes; and not only about all the foul words that were added before any adjective in almost all the dialogue in the script;
but more on how Jordan Belfort in dealing with his plan, and his life.
So daring yet so motivational in a way.
weird enough huh?

But if I have a life like this, I won't decline the offer when people request it to make it as a movie though. So dramatic! wtf
No fancy CG, with powerful plot, audience will always stick their eyes to the screen.
and yes, please give this poor guy a fucking Oscar,
because he fucking deserved it.

5 Countries 7 Cities in 18 days (Part IV)

I am trying very very hard to recall how was my trip already. But I don't want this series of posts to hang in the middle and left unfinished. And since this is holiday week and I am too free to not update the rest of my trip.
I am going to just bring up some pictures and short description though... old liao cannot remember much liao.

So we were already in Italy.
Then we went north up to Pisa where the Pisa tower is located.
Our transportation was by long-distance train.
But to get to Pisa tower in Pisa, we have to take public bus.
Pisa is a very small and quiet town. Not as busy as Rome.

Notice all the tourists there.. posing the same pattern. "so this is thriller... thriller night!"

Pisa Tower

Pisa Tower

We didn't went up to the tower though. Cos first thing is that we were already tired like mad; Not enough sleep; entrance fee is quite costly; and.... SUMMER HERE IS FREAKING HOT! The summer in Europe ain't no place like Malaysia. The air is dry and hot.  Be aware of it if you wish to travel around in the summer.

I think the not so good thing about backpacking also is that you didn't get to know the story behind every of this spot. What you can do is you either do some research on the internet first, or open your ears wide and sneak in to a tourist group and listen to their tour guide's explanation. That's what I did. = ='' wtf

The next stop was Milan. The high-fashioned city! Bam! All the high-end 'atas-atas' brands are all here. Even the air I breathe in I also thought it was expensive. #deepbreathe #expensivelungs #imsupermodel wtf

Milan

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II - the shopping heaven for the rich. Left Prada right LV

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

But if you plan to buy a high-end branded bag, this place is good as you get to have tax refund.

So since we were already there, sis and mum decided to get into the LV, Prada and Chanel store to check it out. It is insanely huge inside. And I've noticed that even in the store in Milan, or any other places like in Paris, surely they will have a Chinese salesperson to assist you. Why? Cos Chinese tourists are rich! I mean Chinese as in the China Chinese. SO, They need to have a chinese speaker in order to boost their sales. Talk about money making!! BAM!

What even funnier is that these Chinese tourists they even bring their own printed catalogue along, with all the research readily done. Buying branded bags was like buying fishes and vegetable in pasar malam. My mum even got pointed by them for choosing the right bag. "No, this one not nice, you see the other one got extra strap and extra zipper!" @@''

Xie xie ni auntie... *walk away*


The buses here in Italy are weird in some way. Cos they take passengers without checking their ticket.
Sometimes even their public train, you can see some of the people here would cross to the gate without inserting their train ticket to the machine. They don't check. They just don't care if they have some people don't pay for their train fee I guess.

Milan's famous bakery - Luini

Cheese + ham ! Still hot in the inside! Yum!

Italian Gelato! YUM!

You see, I was always sticking in the group of Asian people all the time throughout the whole trip and I don't really get to talk to local people in oversea. One thing is that we have language/communication barrier. The other thing is that when they saw a group of Asian family hanging around there will be no local people want to approach to you. And I guess this is the least thing I can appreciate from this group trip.
So I am definitely surprised while I was waiting to cross the road to the other side bus stop, there was a couple standing next to me asked me whether am I came from Japan. LOL. This was exception cos I was standing quite far away from my company group. *trying to be rebellious for a moment LOL* no la it just happened when I stand a little further nia lah, no other intention.
He shook hand with me.
So I replied with a smile, "No" I said. "I am from Malaysia" (proud Malaysian cheh)
do he even know where is Malaysia? I wonder
He just acted like he know, and being friendly and ask me another question, "Do you play football? like soccer?"
I was like hell yeah! *success baby* Nobody even think I am good in sport. I can't even convinced people with this look! LOL!
I laughed. "No. Haha."
"You know Milan Football Club? There is a famous stadium around here." He told me, while holding his girlfriend's hand. And I can't help it but to peek at his girlfriend for two seconds. She just stand there smiled at me. Ang Mo!!! Maybe she thought I was a cute Japanese guy. Konichiwa! Sushi Tempura Heeeeeeeey!
Then my sister wave at me to ask me to come back to the group. She afraid I will get robbed/cheated as I mentioned before, this place is not the safest city in the world.
:((
"Hey, I got to go", I waved goodbye and run back to the group.

HAHA. I don't know but just feel like telling it here. I came back Malaysia and brag about it to my friends tho. HAHAH cos people don't normally think I can play football. fml

Random book stall/library 

That's about it. Italy ain't no the safest city in the world. Even when you are in a group. Take care of yourself and always be aware of the people surrounding if you wish to backpack to this place.
Milan Cathedral - Duomo di Milano
(Day view)

Milan Cathedral - Duomo di Milano
(Night view)

Then the next day overnight in Milan, we travel to Venice.
Stay tuned for more.

Weiii!! ask you to take picture of me not them!

The First Half


Just a blink of eyes, I have survived through the first half of my 6th semester. Time past so fast that I don't even realise that I am already in the holiday week. wtf


So glad that my friend brought his car over from this semester onward. Finally get to travel around places near the university and explore to some new places in Sri Kembangan. Not that I don't have any other friends who didn't bring their car.... but... 
thing is hard to explain.  wtf
Anyway, some of us have decided to share part of the oil expenses also la. Pity him for bringing his car all the way from Chemoh and still have to bring us around. fhl
To recap the entire 7 weeks of this semester:

went to new places to taste some tasty local delicacies 
Spinach noodles with milky ginger-ish soup!

 Fish head bi hoon and 'mice tails'


"When buying people dinner, make sure you buy dinners for people who have bigger dreams than you, and work harder than you." - Li Ka Shing
Won in a contest during semester break and decided to share it out with friends who helped me along throughout these years. 
disclaimer: yeah, in fact there are more people who has helped me, just wait for it okay. I won't forget those dinners I owe you!

As usual, Yin Zi FTW. Due to occasional busy schedule, it's very hard for me to join them. This is the regret but yarh, this year their song composing competition was so great. Love all their music arrangement and all their well-known celebrity judges! Harsh and mean but who cares? We audience enjoyed it! 

First time ever went to Kajang to taste their satay. I love satay and I don't think any satay will goes wrong 

Coursemates came to Klang again. I can now officially declare myself as a professional Klang tour guide. BKT -> I-City -> Dessert
3D paint art. RM10 burnt!

trying to pose like a cool angel, but angel ain't wear spec!

#selfieangel 

weird painting in a way. why la batman has to follow Robin from behind? can't you see the rope is damn thin to support the overweight-looking batman. #superherowithnosuperpower 

MILK!!! look at my thick tongue wtf #notporn 

That was how my first half of semester went.

Not sure is it only me or also the entire whole male human population, I realise that it is pretty hard to do multiple tasking at one freaking time. Especially when one thing is on pending and I started to become very bo sim to do other thing. This freaking semester is for us to decide our compulsory practical training placement. Going through lots of lots of interview sessions + replying lots of lots of e-mail sometime makes me divert my focus on my test 1 a little bit. But thanks to ti gong and guan yin ma, I have been offered to several companies, and I have decided my placement. #blessed

Second half of my semester is all about project coursework and assignment. And not to forget brushing up my carry mark. I guess this is chasing materialistic thing in another way right? fml (I rather to chase after iPad and iPhone)

Last advice to myself and to y'all that even bother to read this: work is endless, plan ahead of how your life is going to be, but be realistic at the same time, then thing will goes well. 

OHM!
Sifu aH Wai.
