The Importance Of Luck ??

Hmm, i can't sleep yesterday. I've got many thoughts inside my mind that i just couldn't close my eyes at all, lol.

2008, almost everyone would think that it's just an ordinary year. But for me, it's not. It has a significant meaning for me. 2008 is the year that i need to choose my career wisely. It's a very hard decision to make actually because it may affected your career either in a good way or even in a bad way. Well, we never know. Initially i wanted to go to UTAR or TARC because these two save a lot of money. But my mother kept telling me that this 2 colleges are not good etc etc and they don't wanna let me go there study zzz. Even the Taylors' counsellors also told me the same thing. They say that these two college's sijil is not good, " 不吃香 ". Hmm, i was so speechless that time. Maybe they were probably right but they cannot say like this what. Every college has their PROs and CONs. So, under my father's advice, i choose AUP at Inti college. I don't know whether this course is good for me or not, but one thing i pretty sure is that i can improve my english better if i choose AUP because i can go overseas. If i study in UTAR or TARC, i don't think i can improve my english, zzz. I'm lucky enough to have this chance to study AUP, so i should take this chance, i guess.

I really missing my old school days now. it's been a lot of ups and downs. During my primary school days, i was doing so well in my academic that i've got a lot of trophies. But i failed miserably in UPSR, the ultimate examination for primary school students. I've got only 6A's, zzz. My tuition teacher can't even believe my results and he was so speechless when i told him my results in the phone ( he called me that time ). This clearly shows that : i have no luck !!! I couldn't do anything that time. I can only apologize to him haiz. I really tried my best for the exam already but somehow i did not have any luck.

When i moved to the secondary school, it's completely upside down. I was doing so bad ( not that bad la ) in academic and doing so well in sports. During form 3 a.k.a 2005, i think that was my best year ever, i broke my school's 100m record and also scored 8A's in my PMR which i still couldn't believe until now. I would say 60% Luck and 40% Hardworking. This clearly shows that : i have luck !!! Sometimes i would prefer to concentrate on studies rather than sports, because my former school always gave us plastic prizes even though it's a first prize, it was just frustrating.

Another example was my NS. I was so " lucky " to be selected to NS even though i don't want to go. lol. I managed to learn something there.

Sometimes hardworking is not enough for you to be successful, you need luck and potential too. For example, even though John McCain has campaigned so much, he still ended up as the loser and watch Barack Obama elected as the USA's first black president. This shows that sometimes you need luck to be successful. Another example is the current Manchester United. They played so well, but they just couldn't score a goal and missed a lot of chances in front of goal. Frankly, it can cost them dearly in the title race as they have no luck to score even though they played well. In a football match, Goals are the most important element, a team can't win a match if they doesn't score goals. Good performaces are not enough to win sometimes if a team couldn't turn their chances into a goal. I think many of you are surely remember the EPL match between Liverpool and Man Utd on 2005 at Anfield. Liverpool outplayed Man Utd for the entire match but some how they missed so many chances and unlucky to have a goal ruled out for offside. Besides, Man Utd's Paul Scholes was sent off for a fail attempt to punch Xabi Alonso on the face.
But, something unbelievable happened in the last minute of injury time. C Ronaldo managed to win a rare free kick at the edge of the Liverpool's penalty area. His free kick was saved but John O'Shea scored the rebound, Liverpool 0 - Man Utd 1 !!! Liverpool fans and Rafa Benitez were simply speechless that time, lol. This shows that even though a team couldn't play well , but as long as the team score more goals than their opponent, they will be declared as the winner no matter how BAD their performances were.

Wish i have more luck in my future, i seriously need it so much, lol.

Even though luck is important, but sometimes people deserves more... people deserves to have their hardworkingness rewarded. Well, it's very complicated to say because we would never even know what will happen to us in the future, haiz.

Futsal + yamcha

Hmm, went to futsal yesterday. So , before that , i went to fetch choo han and his cousin first before we went to yamcha at the nearby mamak store. After that, quek joined us as well. We had a long conservations there, lol. At 10.40pm, kk came with his car to fetch us to the futsal venue at the Batu 14 there because I've decided not to drive, lazy.

Hmm, we played 2 hours. Initially there will be 17 people who will be joining us to play futsal, but only 15 people came, 2 people " fan fei ji ", zzz. So, we divided into 3 groups. Group which scored 2 goals in a match will be declared as the winner in that particular match. We had fun, i scored 5 goals in 7 matches, not bad la.

After the match, REST !!!

After that, we went to yamcha at a mamak store at batu 14 there. It was 2 am, but who cares?

me and choo han... whose shoe is this?

Reached home at 3.15 am. Nice day anyways

101 mall = sienz

Went to IOI Mall with chee hung, lin xing, marcus and jason today. For me, IOI Mall is like the most boring shopping mall ever opened. There is nothing much you can do inside this shopping mall except watching movies, buying some books from the POPULAR outlet and also wasting your time at the so called " Pusat Hiburan Keluarga ". I would prefer the much more bigger shopping complex like megamall, sunway pyramid, KLCC etc etc because their facilities are much more bigger and better. Everyone especially those who live in Puchong, bandar kinrara, bandar puteri or any other places that located near IOI Mall would absolutely agree with my point.

Although IOI Mall sucks, but it's better to go there than staying at home and become a rotten egg. Since my friends are still having their classes respectively until december. So, it's the best choice for now since they are not free. Haiz, have to wait for them until december lo. I've decided to not to go search for work in this long holidays because i need a rest for god sake. Ever since i finished my SPM last year, after a short break, i worked as a servant in a japanese steamboat restaurant, then only went for NS. After NS gone, have to continue study pulak, zzz. It was really tired, physically and mentally but i surely will go to search for work in the long holidays next year. Hmm, i would like to apologize to those who invited me to work with them.

Hmm, when we reached there, lin xing suggested we eat Pizza-Hut first before we proceed to our movie. Didn't ate that much.

We had decided to watch Quantum Of Solace yesterday and so after the lunch, we went to buy the tickets. I was actually reluctant to watch this movie because i had already heard many negative reviews about this movie. As usual i'm the one who kena paksa to buy all the tickets. Didn't cost much, RM 30 for 5 person, not that bad la.

The movie was actually quite OK for me. The good points were the hot cars, hot phones, hot girls perhaps? and also the action packed scenes of cause. The bad points were the bad storyline, shaking screen and i can't really hear what james bond was actually saying, his voice was too low. I think its predecessor, Casino Royale was far more better than this.

After the movie has ended, we saw a bunch of malays right in front of us were throwing their rubbish everywhere on the floor, and we saw SOME MONEY there !!! Obviously they dropped their money there and they didn't knew about it at all, lol. So, we just kept quiet and waited them to go out first while we were still waiting inside the hall. After that, i urged lix xin to take all the money away just in time before the worker came in to start collecting all the customers' leftovers, haha. Hmm, it was RM 7. After that, i jokingly asked them to take all the money to the nearby police station, and they screwed me kao kao, hahaha. So after that, we decided to use all the money to play Daytona. Well to those malays, you can't blame us for taking your money, who ask all of you to throw rubbish everywhere? God sends us down to punish all of you, hahahaha.

After that, we walked and talked a lot, nothing interesting about it. We went back home by bus at 6.30pm. i really hate to wait for bus, if my father doesn't drove "my car" to go for work, i also tak payah bersusah-payah, haiz.

Didn't take any photos, but managed to snatch this, zzz.



chee hung and lin xing (funny look)



p/s : by the way , futsal is on tomorrow 11pm, same place. call or sms me for more details.

Results Out ~~~

Hmm, got my results today. It's not that good actually but the most important point is i'm quite satisfied with it now. At least it exceeds my expectation. I took 2 subjects last semester which were Microeconomics and Philosophy. Well, Here's the summaries for my results.

1. Introduction to Microeconomics B+
2. Introduction to Philosophy B+
3. CGPA 3.33

Initially i was expecting an A or A- for my philosophy, but i still got a B+ at the end. i'm feeling a bit disappointed right now because i knew how to do all the questions and i also wrote a lot of stuffs ( not craps ) inside the answer sheet during the finals couple of weeks ago. Maybe it was because of my coursework marks which i didn't knew about it at all. My philosophy teacher didn't tell us at all. Hmm, i was expecting 44 or 45 marks which is not good enough for me to get an A/A- because i knew i had already screwed my group assignment. One of my group mates cost my group the marks. I'm not going to mention who because if i mention who, i will start to swear a lot (HINT : he's a male student ). Please, i'm serious, he was just annoying. Fine, life goes on. I don't wanna think about it anymore.

Hmm, i can't even believe that i will actually writing my first blog right now because i'm used to be lazy to write my own experiences out even though i had got many experinces before. Besides, blogging for me is such a waste of time, zzz. Well, that was my previous thought la, i will start to blog more often from now onwards, HOPEFULLY.

Hopefuly i will have something to blog about soon. Haha.
