Have a friend told me that her friend normaly will write those unhappy things on a piece of paper, then she will throw the paper into the toilet bowl and flush it away, and she will feel that all the unhappy things and problems will follow the flush away. Sounds like easy, but is there a way really can 'flush' away memory? And what if it can't be flush away? Hmm...she will wasted a piece of paper i think. In fact, don't know we can write all the unhappy staff on only a piece of paper. Sometimes something is just hard to describe by words.
Well, maybe that's her unique way. Everyone has their own way to forget unhappy things in their mind. For me, I'll hang out with friends, have a luxury meal, my concerntration will be on the bill when it's time to pay. Kinda work but a new problems will come when the month end comes. Sometimes will go for a movie, a good movie might make me think of it all the time and intend to watch it again. But what if the movie turn out suckie?
Hmm....do you have your own unique way? Why not share it here?

Forced to launch.....
Seems like everyone started to update their own blog so i think i shouldn't be left out, in stead of posting things about someone else, like Bryan.
Begining of the month receive a note from the house owner. hhmm....it's a bit early to remind to pay the rental this month. But after read it, i found out it's another story. It said that i have to shift out by end of the month cause the contract end soon. No wonder i feel like the house is getting empty nowadays. Seems like i'm the last to know, cause i stay at the back room? Never mind bout that, really need to be hurry to find a new place with my little time left or else i will be homeless. I wouldn't want to stay with friends for short while cause i feel uncomfortable. Plan to find the whole house to rent so that can stay with my dad. The extra room will be reserve for anyone of you who come here to stay. Save up a lot of money for hotel......:D
Recently suddenly feel like something missing. I guess i need to take a course to study again but not sure what is good to study now. Sugggestions anyone?

Stress
Time passed very fast, all the working stress moment already over. Well, last week was the Malay's New Year. Most of the employees in my company are malays, so happen that most of them had holiday to go back to their home town(most of them are not local). The nightmare came since that week. The official holidays were like around 2 days but all of them took extra leaves so that they can spend more time at home(or with friends) during the festival.
The office was like a war after 2 days of holiday even though there's only few of us. Many things need to be rush, extra stress than usual. It's hard to describe with words and the fact was i don't even know how to describe it. Maybe a picture can tells a lot.....haha

Complicated Feel For Today
The girl i like, sent me a message today. Well, we always keep in touch before this. The reason i said suddenly she sent me a message, it's because she told me she already broke off with her boy friend.
At the first few sentence i thought it was some joke or fwd message. After I read finish the whole message, only know that it's about her. I always thought that they are happy together, and i never ask her things about them, because i don't wanna ask such question, and get answers that she's happy with her, though i want her to be happy.
Know her for quite long...8 years? I can't remember. She's from other country, so we used chat through internet and phone. There's few times we talk till the whole day, no idea what have we talk. Been many times plan to visit her, but always end up can't make it. Maybe that's the reason i lost the chance.
I still remember that day she told me, told me she had a boy friend. I am totally quiet, and only listen to what she said. Now think about it, long term relationship is not a easy thing to maintain.
From that day onward, i try to call her less, till rarely talk to her. I want her to forget me, or better to say i want to forget her. I try hard but i can't, so recently we keep in touch again just like old time.
hmm, is it a second chance this time i wonder.

Few days ago get to know Wei and Min go back to Taiwan for holiday (Texas, Taiwan, next will be Malaysia??). Saw their pictures from their Taiwan cousin's blog. Suddenly i felt that everyone that i haven't seen so long has change a lot, Wei, Min, their parent, Kai, Leah, Uncle Bill, Kiat, Bin (these 2 fellow nothing much to change as i usually see then often...) Wei and Min's dad grow old a lot, their mom....hhmm, still as sweety as usual, :D. And i realise all my cousins, are no more the vision that in my mind anymore.
Kai has grown up, no more bunch of toys to share like last time, wondering still act weird sometimes or not like last time, still like A & W fried chicken till wants to remind everyone to order it after swimming(cause the pool was just beside the restaurant, remember?)
Leah grown up as well. All i remember that she always wear her extra size yellow color singlet(is that what they call?), and she cry a lot cause Kai likes to show her his power fist. And everytime she will 'mummy, mummy' before start asking anything. I still keep some pictures of her with her sexy wear.
Wei and Min (Silvia and Jennifer) grown up too. They used to be very tiny little baby to me. Nothing much memory about them just know that they are cute, chubby and like them very much that's all. Well, only see them not more than 3 times, can't expect more.
Wonder what changes they have in the future. Really wanna meet them up one day....

Pretty Baby Boy
Well, Bryan was sleeping for the first day visit so i decided to go for second visit and hope that he's awake so that i can take some picture of his. The pictures that his mother, that's my sister, sent to me were all sleepy Bryan. Thought the one only picture that took with my aunt was eye open, still not near enough to see.
I guess he fully wake today, maybe he knows his uncle coming to visit him. Or my sister keep wake him up before we arrive....haha
Anyway, i tried to carry him by just sitting down on the sofa, i'm still worry that i might accidently hurt him. We keep staring at each other. I think he's wondering who is this handsome fellow in front of me...muhahahahaha.
I took some of his picture of cousre but manage to upload only 1, cause i have no time to do it for the rest....soon will update here.
Last 2 week ago
Last two weekend was a boring one except go for some movies (darn i'm getting old) and went back home to visit my little nephew bryan.
Suppose the journey to home will be full in the car but end up empty and i'm driving alone back. Well, at least half of the way i was alone cause i fetching Lina and her friend to airport, they went for Thailand trip(damn it i want to go too). So the car was actualy full but only to the airport. Sorry Mel that the car can't fit you anymore due to your size...kekeke.
After drop them off and have Burger King for lunch, the journey continue. And now the second half of the journey was too quite, no nice song on the radio. I was dead bored and felt sleepy too (drive back after non stop working for a day, without sleeping). So unlucky things happens and happens again, it rains heavily suddenly. I hate and afraid of rain while driving. It will used up double of my energy to be alert everytime i drive during raining day, especially heavy one. I have to slow the speed down, and concerntrate the unclear situation in front. I was driving, and wathcing, and driving, and watching.....which i don't even know when my eyes close up....gosh, the next thing i open my eye, i realise i'm just few inches away from the car in front. Lucky thing was i was driving realy really slow and i manage to step on my break so not to kiss the butt of the car in front.
Then i was extra alert, forgot all the tireness cause i don't want to get into trouble. The rain getting clearer when i was almost reaching home. What i did after that was sleep for few hours before dinner, or maybe supper time comes.
Me, my mom, my brother and my mom's sister visited my nephew on that night. My sister staying in some rural estate farming area which the road was really really narrow and it was drak there, i never know the way to my sister's place can be like that. But at the end we do find our way there.
My sister was so excited when she saw us come. Actually she almost bored to dead cause she's not allowed to go anyway during the after birth period. Little Bryan was sleeping. Awww, this is the first time i saw my nephew after he born two weeks ago. But i don't dare to carry him cause i scare i might hurt him.....haha
I didn't take any pictures of his since he's sleeping. My sister keep on wants to wake him up but hey, leave him alone. Just leave the picture taking section to next day.
Since he's sleeping and it's getting late, so we didn't stay long and decided to come the next day. Hope he's awake with his little eye so i can take some picture then.......

It's a baby boy!
This morning my sister had her cesarean (thanks to Kiat for the word) around 8.50 a.m. My mom called me and told me about it. It's a baby boy and looks exactly like my sister when she's young. His face was round, or maybe fat and he has a loud crying sound which is very sonorous. Too bad my phone can't receive picture or else i can get to see him now. Can't wait to go back home this weekend and take picture with my new born nephew....Bryan

Still Figuring!!
My sister is giving birth soon on this coming Thursday (Malaysia time). She will go for operation (i forgot how to spell that word, c fession??) instead of natural born. Heard it's time for the little to come out, he's not allowed to stay in there any longer. So my sister now is in the hospital and waiting for the day. Everything is set except the chinese (i dont care for that anymore) and the present. Well, guess i will get something useful, long lasting that her next children, or more, can use it. Maybe by the time i married and have a kid, my children can use it too. I already got something on my mind, but it's still too early to buy for him, or her. So i guess i just save up this month pay for myself and keep the next month for him, or her...:D

Bryan....Good name?
Most of the parents will scractch their head for their new born baby, and same to my sister. She thought of Bryan but yet maybe she thinks it's not good enough so she wants me to think of a name starts with B. I'm not very good in name starts with B especialy for a boy......haha, but i think of few such as Bernard, Bosco, Bernedict, Brandon, Benny.....and even Bexter(alexander+esther) but she still don't like it...so end of the day she said she still prefer Bryan (wasting my time only).
And now, she's start headache for the baby's chinese name, so as a Uncle, i of course will try my best to think a nice name for the baby. The baby will be born soon, i have to think fast.....

NOOBS.........in dota
Noobie is in the game
1. Stereo type of typical uncouth and uncivilized person often shown through improper dresscode during social functions or unmatching haircolor during family dinners.
2. A condescending discriminatory insult.
3. DOTA players with poor ethics and bad manners. And tend to suck as well.
AC: good good. we managed to get into the game
M: hohoho
(The game is full)
Monstakilla: oi, all rdy?
kavmaster: wait host.
Monstakilla: ??????????
kavmaster: wait, i got 3 more friends coming
Monstakilla: fukla, which one?
AC: (wtf??) kick kavmaster. less hassle.
kavmaster: huh don't kick me
kavmaster has left the game.
AC: good kick. 10 9 10 8.5 10
AC: 0.5 for technicality.
(awkward silence)
chilla84 has joined the game.
AC: (To M) they didn't understand...
AC: (To M) dammit another ah beng team..
Pardon the above scenario. I'm just venting my frustration but I think at one point of another we've encountered a team that fits this stereotype. They are semi coherent, uncultured, probably have read only 2 books a year (if flipping through the pages of FHM or COSMO to look for nipple shots is considered 'reading'), taunt you with broken Malayish for the slightest things (like narrowly surviving your Lina combo) and spam the channel with GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGs. Ah bengs.
Of course one might argue that they are just a bunch of immatured children, which cannot be denied either but this is hard to tell when you are trying to visualize the person behind the persona over Battlenet. Then again, it can be said that ah bengs have just about the same mentality as these immatured children, with more spunk.
The thing is, how do we deal with such people? Especially when they begin to hurl insults at you in the game, or threaten to disconnect. Banlists don't scare these people. They may have the articulacy of a washing machine, but they do know how to create a new account on Bnet after having got banned once before for their meticulous disconnective behaviour.
Today I've come up with a list of way to deal with them, which also comes with a figure that indicates the chance of success as based on my past experiences and random observations.
1. Pro Silence
Pro silence is the term I give to people who tend to be excellent in the game, but never once will they utter a word. You can talk to them for hours telling them the plan, and you'll never know if they actually did hear you, but somehow your plan works out and you find yourself winning the game; communication regardless.
In my experience, pro silence does nothing to deter the stereo typical noobie, as they will continue to barrage you with insults after insults which in itself does not hurt, but this takes their focus off the game and they tend to die easier. The ultimatum is a downward spiral of the game as dying, the noobie finds himself blaming you for the deaths even more and thus tries to throw even more insults at your silent name.
The silence makes them uncomfortable. Chance of success: 0%
2. Retaliate!
Sometimes you've had a bad day, or more like your girlfriend has a bad day, and thus you are affected, and as a result when that noobie pisses you off, you return by lashing out at him in the same common denominator vulgar language that he's so very well versed in.
Like the saying goes, never try to argue with an idiot, he only brings you down to his level and beats you from experience. Chance of success: 0%
3. Be Nice
If the going gets rough, you need sandpaper. Thus when an ah beng decides to make you the sole focus of his uncalled for angst, you should try to resolve it by talking things out with the angry bugger. Every remark is returned with a polite sentence, pretty smilies and all. Give him what he wants, and let him have things his way. Perhaps he'll mellow down.
This method is promising, because after all, everyone knows that ah bengs just want people to understand them, which is to see things their way, which in short means to agree to their every whim. This ultimately fails because Apple's Law dictates that there are always 2 or more noobies in any given public DOTA game.
Chance of success: 1%
4. Play Psychologist
Perhaps we could try to unravel the mind of a noob, and thus be able to understand them which might result in a mutual understanding of their kind with us. However, any attempts to deconstruct the noob psyche is dangerous and risky as in trying to do so, you might be sucked into their ever constant playground of a mind and turn into one of them.
In my experience, it doesn't work trying to counsel or console any noobs either as they barely fail to understand your language if you do not place cuss words in between every 2 words and type sentences longer than half of their screen. Besides that, their minds automatically filter out words with 6 characters or more. We know that much at least, and it wasn't easy getting that information.
Hence, don't ever try to understand a noob. Chance of success: 0%
5. Quit the game
Can't take the mental abuse? Don't like the way your bengnemies are treating you? Can't stand that ah beng with the BKB-ed Naix who keeps destroying Moonwells in your base and then laughing about it as if it were something new? Well, there's always the easy way out. For no stress and effort at all, just press the magic Alt-F4.
But that would make you a leaver. Chance of success: -
6. Discuss it on DOTA Malaysia!
Apparently I've run out of ideas, but I'm sure someone who reads this site has better experience at this sort of thing. I mean, forget the noob part. It's a sour stereo type for such players, but what else do you call these people who lack ethics and in the game.
The DOTA community is growing by day, and it's without a doubt that the bad eggs are just about there in any game for that matter but it's high time we taught these people some manners!
The question is, how?
1. Stereo type of typical uncouth and uncivilized person often shown through improper dresscode during social functions or unmatching haircolor during family dinners.
2. A condescending discriminatory insult.
3. DOTA players with poor ethics and bad manners. And tend to suck as well.

AC: (To M) they didn't understand...
AC: (To M) dammit another ah beng team..
Pardon the above scenario. I'm just venting my frustration but I think at one point of another we've encountered a team that fits this stereotype. They are semi coherent, uncultured, probably have read only 2 books a year (if flipping through the pages of FHM or COSMO to look for nipple shots is considered 'reading'), taunt you with broken Malayish for the slightest things (like narrowly surviving your Lina combo) and spam the channel with GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGs. Ah bengs.
Of course one might argue that they are just a bunch of immatured children, which cannot be denied either but this is hard to tell when you are trying to visualize the person behind the persona over Battlenet. Then again, it can be said that ah bengs have just about the same mentality as these immatured children, with more spunk.
The thing is, how do we deal with such people? Especially when they begin to hurl insults at you in the game, or threaten to disconnect. Banlists don't scare these people. They may have the articulacy of a washing machine, but they do know how to create a new account on Bnet after having got banned once before for their meticulous disconnective behaviour.
Today I've come up with a list of way to deal with them, which also comes with a figure that indicates the chance of success as based on my past experiences and random observations.
1. Pro Silence
Pro silence is the term I give to people who tend to be excellent in the game, but never once will they utter a word. You can talk to them for hours telling them the plan, and you'll never know if they actually did hear you, but somehow your plan works out and you find yourself winning the game; communication regardless.
In my experience, pro silence does nothing to deter the stereo typical noobie, as they will continue to barrage you with insults after insults which in itself does not hurt, but this takes their focus off the game and they tend to die easier. The ultimatum is a downward spiral of the game as dying, the noobie finds himself blaming you for the deaths even more and thus tries to throw even more insults at your silent name.
The silence makes them uncomfortable. Chance of success: 0%
2. Retaliate!
Sometimes you've had a bad day, or more like your girlfriend has a bad day, and thus you are affected, and as a result when that noobie pisses you off, you return by lashing out at him in the same common denominator vulgar language that he's so very well versed in.
Like the saying goes, never try to argue with an idiot, he only brings you down to his level and beats you from experience. Chance of success: 0%
3. Be Nice
If the going gets rough, you need sandpaper. Thus when an ah beng decides to make you the sole focus of his uncalled for angst, you should try to resolve it by talking things out with the angry bugger. Every remark is returned with a polite sentence, pretty smilies and all. Give him what he wants, and let him have things his way. Perhaps he'll mellow down.
This method is promising, because after all, everyone knows that ah bengs just want people to understand them, which is to see things their way, which in short means to agree to their every whim. This ultimately fails because Apple's Law dictates that there are always 2 or more noobies in any given public DOTA game.
Chance of success: 1%
4. Play Psychologist
Perhaps we could try to unravel the mind of a noob, and thus be able to understand them which might result in a mutual understanding of their kind with us. However, any attempts to deconstruct the noob psyche is dangerous and risky as in trying to do so, you might be sucked into their ever constant playground of a mind and turn into one of them.
In my experience, it doesn't work trying to counsel or console any noobs either as they barely fail to understand your language if you do not place cuss words in between every 2 words and type sentences longer than half of their screen. Besides that, their minds automatically filter out words with 6 characters or more. We know that much at least, and it wasn't easy getting that information.
Hence, don't ever try to understand a noob. Chance of success: 0%
5. Quit the game
Can't take the mental abuse? Don't like the way your bengnemies are treating you? Can't stand that ah beng with the BKB-ed Naix who keeps destroying Moonwells in your base and then laughing about it as if it were something new? Well, there's always the easy way out. For no stress and effort at all, just press the magic Alt-F4.
But that would make you a leaver. Chance of success: -
6. Discuss it on DOTA Malaysia!
Apparently I've run out of ideas, but I'm sure someone who reads this site has better experience at this sort of thing. I mean, forget the noob part. It's a sour stereo type for such players, but what else do you call these people who lack ethics and in the game.
The DOTA community is growing by day, and it's without a doubt that the bad eggs are just about there in any game for that matter but it's high time we taught these people some manners!
The question is, how?
