I have been wasting my 1st study week doing meaningless thinking and activities. Sigh
Left 1 more week and the terror will rise! >.<

Ants and Grasshoppers (New Version)
It has been months since my last post. Today when I checked the mail, I found something interesting and mind to share with all.
Interesting to read. A must read.
Older Version
An ant worked hard in the sweltering heat all summer, building its nest and laying up supplies for the winter.
A grasshopper thought the ant was stupid not knowing how to enjoy life. It spent its days laughing, singing & dancing thoroughly enjoying the summer.
Came winter, the ant was warm, comfortable and had no shortage of food.
The grasshopper had no proper shelter, no stored food, and couldn't find anything to eat from the snow-covered ground. So it died and the story ended.
MORAL OF TH E STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

An ant worked hard in the sweltering heat all summer, building its nest and laying up supplies for the winter.
A grasshopper thought the ant was stupid not knowing how to enjoy life. It spent its days laughing, singing & dancing thoroughly enjoying the summer.
Came winter, the shivering grasshopper called a press conference and demanded to know why the ant should be warm and well fed while he was cold and starving.
TV1, TV2 & TV3 showed up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper alongside to a video clip of the ant in his comfortable home with a table full of food.
The majority of the Malaysian Parliamentarians were stunned by the sharp contrast. How could this poor grasshopper be allowed to suffer?
Khairy staged a demonstration in front of the ant's nest.
Nazri went on a hunger strike along with other grasshoppers demanding that they be relocated to warmer climate area during winter.
The Malaysia Government immediately passed a law forbidding all ants from working hard in the summer so as to bring about equality of poverty between ants and grasshoppers.
Hishammudin increased 'More Special Reservations' for grasshoppers in E ducational Institutions & in Government Services..
The ant was fined for failing to share 30% of his food with the grasshopper. The Prime Minister announced that this was part of the N E P. No ant should question it. (Don't forget, Tax Audits were introduced and targeted at certain individuals who were eventually penalised heavily for not contibuting enough to the well-being of the grasshoppers).
Many years later...
Some ant migrated to the US and set up multi-billion dollar companies there.
Hundreds of grasshoppers still died of starvation despite the 'More Special Reservations'.
Losing significant number of hard working ants and free loading the grasshoppers, Malaysia remained a developing country, despite its abundant natural resources.
All because the remaining ANTS were still doing their work .............................
Latest finding showed that almost all the grasshoppers in the political arena and civil service were hoarding corrupt wealth which they refused to share with fellow grasshoppers.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2013.

It's a good year for me, though I have to struggling for my 2nd year 1 Sem Exam. Have been revising my notes for pass few days (just study at night :P) and it seems everything is fine for me. But have no idea how will it become when I'm going to start doing exercises and will the exam paper totally out of expectation? Hopefully everything is fine for me, and do maintain my 'Standard'..hehe
What I'm gonna do for this year, hmmm....
1. Score for my exam of course, It's the 1st thing to do for this month~.~
2. After exam of course enjoy the life before next semester start. (Only two days before the 2nd sem -.-)
3. Then CNY, lol....
4. After my second year, plan to go for Work & Travel USA program to widen my exposure, hell yeah, I love traveling. (If I'm rich enough, I will travel around the world)
5. Get a new laptop I think.
6. If the Malaysia Campus course structure change as what UK campus did, let's do exchange to UK campus :) and there goes my 3rd year to become graduate Mechanical Engineer.
To Me:
Everyone has faith on me, So I shall not fall! Strike for the future~

christmas>.<
Hi there,
Long time din't update my blog. Hmm..busy? yea...busy on going outside, fun with temple mates.
It's already past 1 week for my term break, and I have not start my study engine yet..T.T because I'm such a playful boy who keep going out from 22nd till today..the Christmas..LOL.
22nd was the last day for the Buddhist youth camp. Well, I'm supposed to send our favorite DM Tsung to airport. After that went to the 'Sky Garden' for dinner. On Bee Lean Teacher's treat..XD...have a cheesy rice dinner there.
Then I have be the Penang girls driver...to bring them around KL with Sherly and Steven as tour guides ( Although we doesn't go many much place) Just went to the Gasoline at Lookout Point. It's the first time I went there and it's a nice place for the lovely couples..But I hate the smoky place. Almost all the people smokes. Sad
The funniest thing is, my bro Alex manage to trick Sherly with a juice, called sky juice. ( just a plain drinking ice water). If you want to know more about it, hmm..ask her..
23rd, have to send the Penang girls to bus station. Their bus departure time is 3.30pm so we manage to bring them to Time Square and Pavillion to took some Christmas pictures. Too bad they can't stay till night.
On 24th, we having a steamboat dinner at Wei Chuan's house. It's the fullest dinner I have so far. Quite a lot of people came, around 20 ppl, got Lee brothers, Aw brothers (me of coz), Hew siblings, Sherly, Mei Keat, Li Min, Zhi Qi, Kenny and Vincent, Zhi De and so on. With 4 drivers, we went to Lookout Point again. Lol. They have no other place to go. After taking the group photo's, we went to another hill for mamak and chit chat until 3pm.
This is the first time I go celebrate christmas with friends. I seldom celebrate Christmas. (Recalled got one time just go to Selayang and chit chat with Yan Pin, Wern Pei)Lolx. Normally we celebrate for New Year Countdown...Damn..I miss my little red car.
25th, I had a bad feeling for going to any shopping mall for movie. It ends up I'm right with my intuition. Bring them to JUSCO Cheras Selatan and end up searching parking for half an hours. From open air parking go till the roof top parking, go down again, we manage to find parking but we could get any tickets for movie...haiz.
We end up sitting at McDonald for fries and ice cream. Then we head back home for rest.
p/s: I'm getting worried when I see my fellow coursemate getting their study engine on. It's scary...I'm scared..help me, save me!!
