My life is going to change, Phase 1

This whole week, So much good fortune has been knocking on my door. Its like some times I dont know which to let in. All I can say is as a host, I would welcome my guess in as long as there is space to spare.

Yesterday, I met my best friend since I was 6 years old. I havent met him in 6 years also. Boy did we had a long time to catch up. He's always been my wing man. No kidding. We were the only two boys on the block and we did everything together. Climb walls, played boomerangs, and fly kites.

He saw the neighborhood change a lot. He even asked who house was up on the hill that block our old playground. Then he asked me ... "remember the time we had to pick up the boomerang at our neighbors house? I didnt get why he talked like he wanted to kill us". I look at him "Well you do know in Australia a boomerang is considered a weapon? Its no surpise he was threated when a boomerang crash his house!". And my typical friend would reply as he always did, "Oh yeah......thats why".

Tomorrow, Ill get a chance to see if I do have what it takes to be an engineer. Work in a Metropolitan place like KL. The Jams, The tolls and worse the heat. I hope I pass the second interview. The place is a nice place to settle down they say. Means its not a gold mine. But I think thats why I wanted to work there in the first place. Money ranks second to self satisfaction.

Now I began to calculate my propabilities on my future for 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and even 10. It seems now, I have to chose where I would live if I do seal the deal. Im trying to triangulate things according to my priority, market availability and future potentials. All I can say is, Im just laying out all the possibilities and looking at Which and whom be the best I invest it for the rest of my life. Work will change, traffic will be the same, money will come and go. But people who are with you, will be with you, and will be most important to you never change.

Ill stick to my beliefe that make things easy for others, and God will make things easy for you.

Good night.

Reread, Rethink

01/16/2007 posted then.

Im at a junction in my career as a student.... where I see the teacher and friends whom Ive had the pleasure of fighting by thier side as an equal even though Im an alien amongst them. The only one who's not from this land of the rising sun. And to day it was as if that lecture hall, filled by 100 students which I have never seen gathered in a year, come and stands in a line.
This is when and where in movies that you see a a line of people take a step forward.... but this wasnt a movie.... I didnt step forward. Instead I saw all my friends step forward. This is where I separate from my friends, they have helped me come this far, I have help them pass this line. But I cant pass it with them today. Maybe a year from now alone I shall pass this line. The same halls where the lecturer said that 1 out of each 5 of you wont make it pass the line. I counted my friends in my group 5. So yeah seems that one was destined not to advance.
So this is how it feels to be behind? I see. Ive never felt it before. As a matter of fact ive never tasted 0% in any paper since ive been going to school. But here In Japan, 0% was always a likely possibility.
Its just hard for me to accept. Accept that I cant pass because of one single paper. One paper out of 74 papers that ive taken holds my sholders from letting me make the step. Whats worst, only god knows that Ive tried my best and when best just isnt enough, you know thats a telegram from god him self.
Its now all alone from now on. No more friends to help me. but then again I was always alone doing stuff and making sense of things so that I learn and go back with some thing. Not just a degree but a new set of thinking was what I was searching for. And to some they say Holding back a year means I have all the time in the world. But It worries me that I might get carried away with things and miss another chance at making the paper the next time around.
But you know what. All though I might have lost this battle today, the war is far from over. If I have to fight for what I want, I will fight for it. If there is a will there is a way. Tomorrow ramdomness maybe my advantage coz nothing has been writen yet. I will make that mark or I shall die trying.

I think im getting darker... atleast my right arm is :(

I think my arm is getting darker. I drive around in the hot sun, the sunshine burns my skin! but worse thing is its only my right side. The hand on the left is clearly in the shadows. And to make it worse! My car only have natural cooling.... no air conditioning, driving through KL? Was like being in a red oven. huhuhuh But If I were in japan I had no aircond right now and open the window, Id be freezing cold! snow in my face!

Atleast I'd be whiter.... But I hate snow. I hate winter, I hate it esp in the winter in Fukui. If I didnt go snowboarding it would be a prison anyhow.

So there I was in the car, thinking about snow, on a hot day in KL.... Made me thirsty.

Any way That aside, I got my job done for the day. A trip to KL in a broken aircond car, was just a test on how much I want to make some extra bucks....

Thank you :)

I woke up, feeling like staying in bed the whole day. I dont know why. But when I did woke up, drank my morning Milo, I saw a figure from across the room, across the road, on the wall of the hill. A black long snake just dangled down the wall. I didnt take it seriusly, my eyes could be playing tricks with me in the morning. But later on the screams of my neibours confirmed my suspsion. There was a snake moving about. How big it is, remains a question. If I can spot if from 10 meters away, between the leaves, Its got to be longer than 1 meter. Black means its not a phyton, worries me even more. Phytons dont bite, But cobra does.

Took me a while to get to the office. But when I did arrive, I was greeted with a cake! How toughtful :) I didnt expect it at all. Friends made the day worth waking up to. So in short Id like to express my gratitude and to state that some times, you'll never know what happens in a day. So many surprises.

Mark this day... from now on know that the wind will not be in favour.... the waves bigger than ever and my ship may not float forever!

Mark this day... from now on know that the wind will not be in favour.... the waves bigger than ever and my ship may not float forever! But I dare them to come and sink my will!

Today 18th April 2007. Will be a day I shall reset ... reset the hard ship of things to come.

Let me say a journey of a thousand miles starts with a step. Let it be my right foot. For today onwards come the greatest test in my life. For now one I am going on a roller coaster ride where Im at the top and what comes next is a sharp 3 seconds 85 degrees drop... but all the twist and turns the G pullings and sharp drops will be a ride of life... speed is what makes it trough the loops and curves....

Any way I start today, Alone. Single and untied. but when I come out ... Ill have a nation worth of experience. A Nobel prize to bump into ... and A family supporting fully my effort to bring my nation to the eye of the world.... *ecececece Cakap berapi!* but thats a solemn dream that I have... I may not be rich ... nor a genius .. but I sure am capable in showing the world what my country is all about... We are skilled people and we are smart... smart enough to know that even USA is hunting DVD pirates ..hehehhehe but thats beside the point....

Im going to stay in hell for another 2 years after 2008. Yes Yoong im going to continue study here, My lab is a golden opportunity to study and like ive always said .. theres a chance ill stumble a nobel prize... im already in the right field... If i want it so much ... it might even be possible. Bout family? I have a family and they are fully supporting my decision. So who ever who doesn't I don't consider them on my side. All I know is I survived HELL, Ill go through it again and again if I have to. But one thing for sure... I want what I want. And right now I want to continue Masters here in Fukui under Artificial Intelligence.

A lot of thinking has been done.... a lot even more than you have imagined. But one thing for sure... my brother helped me make that decision. By talking to him teaching him all he needs to know ... common knowledge.... I felt some thing thats seems to be just right... I might be nobody, but what Ive learned isn't supposed to be thrown away in my mind... its about.... reaching out and passing the fiery orb ... and hope that along the way some one will pass that orb of light to some one else ... that even after I fade into time... the orb will still have some one holding it and passing it to some one else. Thats a true educators way of passing down knowledge. Maybe Im just born to do it. Maybe I was just born to be a third generation teacher, a second generation of lecturers, and maybe the first in my generation to get a Nobel prize. So much maybes that it might just be true.... a chance upon a chance... But its a chance none the less... Like the wise words of my late father...."If theres a chance it might happen, It will happen! A chance is better than none".

Now I maybe easy today, for the next two years I might see even bigger tidal waves up ahead... a year of no fundings ... and im prepared to sell my car thats no joke. Im prepared to go through hell and come out alive... Smile and say in the end.... "Nothing a man cant do...."

So Come what may! My ship has sailed ... Pirates Incoming, typhoons incoming, Tsunami incoming!..... Like I said the first weeks of AAJ.... "If it cost me my life..... I will not give up with out a fight" coz who the heck dies with out trying?

Words from my sister
"You are Unique and you deserve the best, I am more than happy that you are going to do your masters.... because... You might have made the right decision from the start for picking Artificial Intelligence".

my honest reply:
"The right Choice for the wrong reasons..... those were the words from a Nobel prize winner whom i had the chance to be in a lecture hall with in Nilai College. I may be on the right track from the start".

So lets see ... Im going for a dive... after this its gonna be loops and turns... Hard times to come... but once in my life.... I looking at the tracks of this roller coaster and saying "HOOOOOORAAAAAH!!!!!".

Cikgu Fizik?

A Busy Day?

Bangun early, I didnt even had time to see what was wrong with my mother. Instead, I had to rush to UKM, ridiculous. Stayed there today didn't get much done. But it seems some smart guys thinks this is the best way for them to monitor our progress.

Enough about that. At 5 I went out.

Did some revisions on what to teach. Boy things changed. Last time I did physics was in Bahasa, then Japanese now.... English. Honestly I dont understand half of the words. They are just another way to say some thing we already know.

At 6 im back home. Ate and went back at 8. And the class started.

I was nervous at first... of course. These kids wants what they are paying for. And I was honestly scared I cant deliver. I taught that the sylabus was short, I might finish it in one class instead of 4. Boy was I wrong!

After the class I drove back with a relief that I did a job well done. But tomorrows a brand new day! And what will be there instore for me tomorrow?

The season starts

Back from the holidays, I am filled with passion and anticipation. A renewed hope to finish my study, then maybe have a chance for fortune and building a family. Maybe.

What ever it is. I am waking up really early nowadays.... ehem... if you call 8 am early... LOL. Anyway its a good start.

Looking at my personal milestone. I should be able to get married in march 2009. But I think im late in that sector. I have the Country to thank for. Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! *sarcastic*

Putting that aside. Count your blessings they say. Well I am. For one I know I am one step closer to settle down.

But looking at how some Malaysian prefer to have a grand wedding, I dont see the point in that. I believe that a Marriage is not the wedding. It starts with the wedding and last till you die. Or until you cant hold it any more.

Point is. If you blow everything on the wedding, and not continue to step up your efforts after the ceremony, for the sake of the marriage, then I dont think a grand wedding will be best for that couple.

Any way I got my life summed up really simple.

Do my work as fast as possible, then the faster I can earn my fortune.
Get my fortune and spend on a grand wedding, Then hope to god it never fails.....

Good nite.

Happy Birthday me :) - day 4

The clock strike 12 and we were on the bus approaching Gambang. I check my phone to see if the phone was working. It was. then there must be sumthing wrong with it. Its so silent. I didn't wake up my mother or my brother beside me. They look sound asleep in the bus. I looked at the window outside. So calm and peaceful. Then I saw my birthday present from above.

A clear starry night! I saw Orion ontop of me, and thousands more stars filled the clear night sky. I knew its a natural delight made for me at the stroke of midnight. Said to myself, "Happy 25th birthday Indra".

When the bus stop at the R&R mother woke up. I wispered to her, "Your son is now 25 years old". She looked at the clock and smile ;) "Oh yeah happy birthday!". Alas, I had to remind my mother, but better late than never.

So it was my birth day and I planned not to make a big fuss about it at all. Since I am 25 years old... I do feel old. At one time some where when I entered my 20s I had a string of phone calls and smses as the clock strike 12. But know I understand that it wont happen again, its been 5 years since any of those thing happen. But I did get a few smses from my friends, later in the morning when they woke up for work. Yeah every ones working now. Thats the big difference.
Plus there was a fact that I hid my Birthdate from my friends on purpose. :) so I dont really mind about the birthday wishes. Each and every one of them is a gift by it self when my friends remembers.

As I was transfering pictures into my laptop, my 5 year old cousin asked me who's birthday was it in those picture. I replied that it was our 7 year old cousin Fikri, hes birthday was last saturday. Then she saw the cake. "Waaa best nyer cake tuh" ..... I took a look at her young face, and said "Do you want a cake? Today's is my birthday!". All of my cousins looked at me in disbeliefe! They rush for my mother. "Maklong! Maklong! betul dok ari nie birthday Abang I?" My mother replied "Haah hari nih lar kenape?". They shouted, "Yay! Abang I nak beli kek!".

So we got the cake, I chose no candles, on the basis that the cake will be filled by siliva if the children tried to blow the candles out. We had a small party that night, a nice one indeed. Filled with my close family and children asking lots of questions. So I asked my cousin how old does she think I am. This one coming from a 5 year old.... almost got me a heart attack. She screamed "100!". My mom also almost had a heart attack as she heard that! "Uish tua nyer kalau camtuh Maklong brape umur?". My cousin paused. She screamed "150!" hehhehehe and we all laughed. Still uneased with the age she gave the both of us, we asked her how old are her parents? She look at her mom and said "Mommys 27 and dad is 28". Which carved a smile on my aunts face :)

Young kids... they are really fun to be with. They light up day.

My sister called that night ;) I was expecting that. I knew she didnt forget my birthday :) Although I was expecting some ones phone call, but then when I checked my email, Yoong did send me a birthday wish on time. She also havent missed a single birthday since we were school kids. Some times there are things you can expect, and some you'll never know what they are.
Like the phone call I got for the job interview, that was totally unexpected. Seems that the best presents arent in material, but more in the spriritual aspects of life. Family, friends, a nature gesture, and luck. What more can a guy ask for?

Okay a ferrari or two would be nice. :p But my red satria would have to do for now.

Happpy Birthday Indra :)
