The day I confronted my fears, humbled myself, to say these words: "Will you marry me?".<br />
<br />
The preparations for it isn't easy at all. I had to preorder flowers, wrote the poem, think of a surprise plan, and the steps to execute it perfectly.<br />
<br />
Thankfully it work out well, she was touched, and finally she said "Yes".<br />
<br />
A few funny things that almost/didn't quite work out according to plan:<br />
1. printed the poem several times due to the ink not able to stick to the paper properly<br />
2. editing the poem several times as I felt it wasn't good enough<br />
3. When at the carpark, she almost saw me climbing up the escalator to The Curve (with those flowers omigosh!) - I had to literally ran as fast as I could before seeing her narrowingly past by.<br />
4. Had to speak to her, make her comfortable when she's already shaken up when she arrived at the scene.<br />
5. Kneeling down in front of everyone, proposing to her with flower and ring in each hand (hardest feat of all)<br />
<br />
May 24th, the day I proposed to Boey Wai San, the true love in my life.<br />
<br />
~~ ♥ Love you dear, always and forever ♥ ~~<br />

It does not matter how good you are, how much you treat the person, but if the end of it is that the other does not love you or care for you deep enough, you can kiss it goodbye.<br />
<br />
It is also important that your partner understands you well, is forgiving, and has a good temperament. If both of you are hot headed and always slaps the other with harsh words, then it's gonna be a one tough ride of a journey.<br />
<br />
Without genuine love for one another, then there is no point of forcing the other one down the road.<br />
<br />
You'd have to know yourself well to to figure whether or not this relationship is worth continuing or not. Is this the person you'd really wanna spend the rest of your life with? If the answer is YES for both of you then whatever the situation is usually there's a way out/reconcialition. If NO, whatever small problems/arguments you two faced would be like a major catastrophe, easily provoking the words "breakup" or "divorce". Both would need to understand what loyalty is, loving only each other and no one else. Not to be greedy, demanding and expecting more always... but be realistic as well, be considerate towards the other who is already giving so much to you. :)<br />
<br />
Know what you want, how bad you want it, and know thyself. Once you do, and your partner does too, then it's easy to go through it all. Anyhow I always believed that God has set aside that someone special for those who are meant to marry someday. As long you continue helping and improving yourself, help yourself, and don't give up, there's bound to be someone there for you someday.<br />

<br />
All thanks to Didie who had arrange us to meet. Waisan and her had been working together for several months now.<br />
<br />
It was then on the month of February that Didie Whatsapp me to tell me that she wanted to arrange a 'meeting' of me and that friend of her's. It caught me by surprised at first. For I was having some plans and when I heard of it I really really thought of not attending. Wanting to negotiate a better time with Didie when she refused to, saying that her time is tight and all that, had further deprived me of my mood to meet up with this girl.<br />
<br />
Somehow we got the meeting date fixed to another, and on a fine evening, me, Didie, Aishah, Mahen, Estee, and that "special" girl had decided to arrange for a meetup at The Curve.<br />
<br />
I went on braveheartedly knowing that me and her will mostly reached there first before the rest. Earlier on I had already PM-ed her on Facebook just to know her abit and also to make her comfortable before the meeting. Truly I was getting excited the more I know her and when the moment come for us to break the ice, it all fell together into place nicely. We both clicked really well with each other and had many conversations about our lives, general talk, work and more.<br />
<br />
The rest came. We sat together at TGI Fridays for the meal. It was awkward at first as me and her were conversing in Cantonese while the rest there couldn't understand a word of what we're saying. In the middle of some of the talk I did talk back in English with them and that somehow comforted them abit. But I knew me and WaiSan were already talking so much that it was starting to look all good.<br />
<br />
After many more conversations via phone with her, meeting her a few more times, we decided to call it a relationship. We wanted to take it slow at first but somehow we knew we were lying to ourselves if we still wanted to go slow, as truly our chemistry is so strong that we just couldn't contain it. 28th February is the date we decided to start it all.<br />
<br />
Right now, down another 2 months +10 over days, our relationship had went on even stronger and stable. We're both truly happy with one another. Marriage had been planned and we're hoping it'll be somewhere next year.<br />
<br />
I love you WaiSan, hoping to spend the rest of my days together with you. ♥<br />

Don't ever listen to them till you've tried out both yourself.<br />
<br />
Here's a witness to the things that happened when I was using 64-bit for a period of 1 year:<br />
<br />
1. many drivers caused blue screen when in used with Win 64. Most common was keyboard, audio, graphics, and network. How I know? I sense it e.g. when repairing network connection, the computer crashes! (you could know more by installing Microsoft's Debugging tool - which I gave up as I even had issues downloading it from Microsoft site! - around 500MB or so for the whole thing -_-)<br />
<br />
2. Sudden BSOD crashes, especially when I started browsing FB heavily using either Firefox or Chrome. I notice starting Adobe Flash apps in the web (mostly FB games and photos will use this) will cause BSOD very easily during the intial startup.<br />
<br />
3. The blue screen was so frequent, there was several times it caused my Windows to actually run start-up repair due to corrupting the start up files. Other occasions were causing bad sectors to my hard disk. Luckily I had a program in hand to clean such bad sectors.<br />
4. It was slower than the 32-bit, due to the fact 64-bit programs had higher encryption, security, which also means a longer code to create and produce an app. As written here:<br />
<a href="http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5709#toc4">http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5709#toc4</a><br />
"<b>Performance and Virtualization</b><br />
<br />
64-bit versions of operating systems such as Windows Vista and Windows 7 are not automatically faster than their 32-bit counterparts. In some cases, they may even perform slower because of the larger pointers as well unrelated OS overhead. Overall, an application’s performance depends on what it is used for and how it is implemented. Emulated applications running within the Windows on Windows (WOW) 64 layer (discussed in more detail later in this article) will not be able to address any more memory than they could on a 32-bit system."<br />
<br />
5. I had a much better time using 32-bit. After reformatting since last month, things have been much better, not a single blue screen, and well over the top performance.<br />
<br />
My PC specs:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T4WawzYmegU/TnVvfcpjaJI/AAAAAAAAAmk/w7ShsvPCprw/s1600/PC+specs.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T4WawzYmegU/TnVvfcpjaJI/AAAAAAAAAmk/w7ShsvPCprw/s400/PC+specs.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
With the above processor and RAM mentioned, I do not need 64-bit, as I do not run some office apps or work apps that would ever require 64-bit OS. Games run smoothly with 32-bit and I do not need a #@%^ windows that is "said" to be faster yet dissapoints at every level (64 bit)<br />
<br />
Yes, the difference is so much obvious that it triggered me to write a blog post about it. It's a personal testimony that I'm sure you could find others on the web as well.David Tayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483111302080963252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183283.post-57939055014658927162011-08-28T15:22:00.000+08:002011-08-28T15:22:14.148+08:00A story - How much before it's enough?<span data-jsid="text">An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. <br />
<br />
Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The<span class="text_exposed_show"> American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. <br />
<br />
The Mexican replied, "Only a little while."<br />
<br />
The American then asked, "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more fish?"<br />
<br />
The Mexican said, "With this I have more than enough to support my family's needs."<br />
<br />
The American then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"<br />
<br />
The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life."<br />
<br />
The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing; and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat: With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor; eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then Los Angeles and eventually New York where you will run your ever-expanding enterprise."<br />
<br />
The Mexican fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?"<br />
<br />
To which the American replied, "15 to 20 years."<br />
<br />
"But what then?" asked the Mexican.<br />
<br />
The American laughed and said that's the best part. "When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions."<br />
<br />
"Millions?...Then what?"<br />
<br />
The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."</span></span><br />

<br />
It was a good experience. But still not as good as X-Men: First Class which blew our seats off with its superb storytelling, catchy special effects, direction of film, costume etc... that was truly a 10/10 film.<br />
<br />
And after Thor came Captain America. A movie which speaks little of what mankind is nowadays: Selfless, Integrity, Strong Moral Values, Compassion, Value of Other's Life, and others.<br />
<br />
That is what makes Captain America. He ain't a snobbish at all like Tony Stark a.k.a Iron Man or a Prideful Hero/Prince - Thor (he was prideful till being taught a lesson by his father Odin)<br />
<br />
[Spoilers:]<br />
Captain America started off as nothing. Born as Steve Rodgers, a frail young man who was rejected 4 times to join WW2 as a soldier. And somehow fate made him meet up with a scientist named Erskine, a creator of the Super Soldier Serum, who finally gave Steve a rare chance to enter the academy. Steve Rodgers was given the green light to be included as the first of the test of the serum, which produced what we know as Captain America. You'd be asking, hmmm that would means many version of him right? Sadly Erskine was murdered right after he delivered the results on Steve Rodgers. Every last remaining hope or sample of producing another was all gone too.<br />
<br />
That is when you would see how a young man who was constantly bullied and beaten up would stand against the world's evils and come to bring justice to those who need it. That is what Captain America stands for. Like how Dr. Erskine would say it none the better: "Why someone weak? Because a weak man knows the value of strength, the value of power..."<br />
<br />
What follows would be how he'd go all the way to the Hydra's fortress and saving his fallen comrades, forming a team and going to everywhere to wipe up that Nazi extremists group.<br />
<br />
The ending is a jaw dropper since you'd see how Captain America woke up 70 years later in the future!!<br />
(this part also gives me the hope of better Capt America uniform since his current one.. urm.. seems quite awkward.)<br />
<br />
[spoilers end =p ]<br />
<br />
Bring your kids to watch this movie, it would teach them of many great values...<br />
<br />
And be sure to stay back for the ending credits (which takes quite some time to finish) for the most awesome trailer that you'd see.... The Avengers!! Assembling May 2012. You'd be one of the first to actually see the trailer since it's not even officially out yet.<br />
<br />
Would write more on Thor and X-Men: First Class if I have the time. Such great Marvel movies just made me love those comic superheroes even more!! Awesome job Marvel.. awesome job.David Tayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483111302080963252noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183283.post-54680323755079825912011-07-19T01:01:00.002+08:002011-07-19T01:08:50.584+08:00How I am FeelingEveryday I woke up from bed,<br />
Knowing,<br />
I would need to head to work,<br />
Else,<br />
I would know,<br />
It's my off day.<br />
What's next,<br />
Off to the gym?<br />
Where I tire myself to the brim? <br />
Or on that lame PC and start doing nonsense on it?<br />
Oh how did the PC came to being and ruined everyone's lives?<br />
<br />
Or,<br />
Going out, spending time with friends?<br />
Friends that would give you a good time,<br />
And at times give you heartaches as well?<br />
Some have even faded away,<br />
After marriage, working life, or after graduation,<br />
They have became less,<br />
Rare as precious metals,<br />
As some has proven itself to be of cheap steel,<br />
They rusted, and wasted away.<br />
I feel sad as those are the very close friends that I once used to have.<br />
<br />
Work,<br />
It becomes repetitive after a while.<br />
Tainted with politics, backstabbing, and all sorts of others,<br />
Which every job out there will surely have. <br />
Which work is something that you would put your everything in like a hobby or leisure?<br />
None, coz it just ain't.<br />
It slowly catches up with you and throws you into a spinning turbine...<br />
And as it catches up speed,<br />
You'll feel dizzy,<br />
Out of breath at times,<br />
Tired, exhausted, sick of it.<br />
Till the machine runs a full cycle and stops.<br />
And guess what? It's been 8 hours of work and it's time to head home!<br />
Ahh that moment...<br />
And before you know it...<br />
You're stuck at the traffic...<br />
The jam so massive you'd cry "why oh why ain't I'm working on some other off peak hour?"<br />
And if you do you would cry otherwise as you will lack a life.<br />
<br />
Movies,<br />
Some have been great,<br />
These days most suck.<br />
They suck so bad you'd wanna scream at the movie,<br />
Asking why did it made you spent 2 freaking hours of your life and 13 bucks,<br />
For some piece of shit.<br />
Like working life did not suck you dry of your hours,<br />
And you would need another to take the time away?<br />
<br />
<br />
People,<br />
People in this country,<br />
The young,<br />
I've seen it all...<br />
Some spoilt, some stubborn, some selfish,<br />
Some full of hatred, some being saddists,<br />
Some being ignorant fools, some being odd so bad till they hurt themselves,<br />
Some being jobless coz of their horrible attitude,<br />
Some driving a big car coz their parents are rich.<br />
All the nonsense.<br />
Why did parents allow such a thing to happen???<br />
Why did it came to my generation and those after??<br />
Why do I have to bear through it all,<br />
Seeing them like this?<br />
And it's sad to know it's affecting our country really bad.<br />
Is it the education system? Shall we blame the goverment?<br />
Seriously I got tired of blaming that.<br />
I just... wish I could dissapear from this forsaken country,<br />
To somewhere that I would really feel I belong to.<br />
<br />
That is how I felt, so deep inside...<br />
The hurt...<br />
The hurt especially that came from her,<br />
Of what she said I am,<br />
Still hurts till this very day.<br />
I blame myself for seeing her go that day.<br />
I could not help it.<br />
I ain't suicidal, just a deep scar,<br />
Which has been enwritten in my heart.<br />
Tho I know I have changed to become a better man,<br />
All becoz of her...<br />
Yet that scar will take a long time to heal...<br />
<br />
Family,<br />
I'm not even sure if I should even write this,<br />
but I guess a little doesn't hurt.<br />
I just wish,<br />
They would be close...<br />
Why leave mum alone....<br />
Why let me take all the care,<br />
Shoulder to me all the responsibilites.<br />
She's old dammit,<br />
Can't you all spend more time with someone,<br />
Who have pour out so much helping you grow?<br />
What's wrong this these people?<br />
I have tried my best to be a good son.<br />
Really, I've tried,<br />
And still trying,<br />
Sometimes I don't know how much I should do before it's enough.<br />
It's tiring.<br />
I wish I had a brother,<br />
or 2, to help take care of mother,<br />
But it's just not a choice for us to decide.<br />
And my 3rd sister,<br />
Why can't a miracle just cure her??<br />
Why can't she help herself?<br />
Why is it the same every year?<br />
<br />
I wish it ain't that complicated,<br />
but it's been like that,<br />
(since Dad was around it has been like that) <br />
yet I know there are others out there much worse than me,<br />
I shall pour all this out this day and pray,<br />
That you God will help me and strengthen me,<br />
Guide me and be my rock.<br />
Help me through these times when I'm feeling so much pain,<br />
So much torment,<br />
Suffering,<br />
Tears that I hold back.<br />
I rarely tell people this much,<br />
But I need to...<br />
To keep myself sane this time.<br />
<br />
Thank you for those who cared,<br />
For those whom helped me in times where I was down.<br />
I truly appreciate them.<br />
Without you I would have been torn down,<br />
Torn to pieces by my own emotions,<br />
Been swept away beyond recognition.<br />
You gave me hope to continue,<br />
To continue this journey of life...<br />
<br />
Amongst it all, <br />
God is the the solid rock,<br />
that has always been there,<br />
He has been there for me through thick and thin.<br />
Words alone could not describe my relationship with him.<br />
What I went through since young,<br />
You had no idea how much He has helped me.<br />
<br />
I pray, <br />
I pray that all this negativity will fade away,<br />
That better days will come, <br />
That I will finally find the meaning,<br />
To it all some day,<br />
To understand why am I on this earth,<br />
What does it really mean to live,<br />
And what I could be some day...<br />
<br />
These are the words of how I'm feeling,<br />
The words that I pour out now.David Tayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483111302080963252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183283.post-66554528683363239542011-07-12T22:43:00.001+08:002011-07-12T22:44:17.114+08:00Bersih 2.0 - 9th July 2011A lot of stuffs came out in my mind as the date for the said title passed.<br />
<br />
It made me a lot prouder to be a Malaysian than ever before.<br />
<br />
Seeing that unity being spark by those people that was being oppressed by the police at the streets during the demonstration, gave me the hope that truly we Malaysians still care for each other regardless of race, political belief, religion etc.<br />
<br />
When you walk pass the streets seeing another person, regardless they are Chinese, Indians or Malay.. suddenly you felt all the racial sentiments were all being melted away. Coz we finally saw what the current government is capable of, what they showed us on 9th July 2011. How cruel and oppressive they could be. Most of our minds now are united against such a thing. We wanna change, change all these nonsense that is being manipulate d by them in order to secure votes. One of the biggest thing that they always play out well is racial sentiment. And it is clear we are all gonna stand up to that. Not only that, but more people will definitely stand up against their corruption, their abuse of power, their control of the media, oppression of every other voice that is against them (includ. the opposition), lies, and much more. Enough of the 50 years rule. We really had enough this time. It's time to say "Stop, you've governed long enough. It's time for someone else to take over and showed us what you REALLY did to this country. It's time to give the likes of PKR a chance to administer this country. It's time for democracy to really prove itself and make a major change to the current system."<br />
<br />
It is a big day for the democracy and Rakyat of Malaysia. We all learnt something that day. We learnt what we Malaysians are truly capable of. We saw with our own two eyes all over the internet what BN is capable of doing and hiding.<br />
<br />
It won't be long before this ruling coalition is finally toppled. All of us shall cheer for the victory of freedom and justice at that time.<br />
<br />
God bless Malaysia.David Tayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483111302080963252noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183283.post-70123004575537656962011-07-09T18:20:00.001+08:002011-07-09T18:22:18.396+08:00Back after all that..After all that that have happened recently. Through that recovery, that reflection, I am finally ready to blog again.<br />
<br />
It wasn't easy going through to the point of where I am now. Yet, I miss blogging and would love to note down what matters most in my life. I miss the part that it helped me improved my writing, to help me refocus and to understand my thoughts/feelings inside of me, and how it inspires other who read them.<br />
<br />
It is time for a reopening of the blog. Not gonna make it grand, just something simple for me to write on. Using Blogger's template and hmm.. it isn't that bad. Looks simple and nice.<br />
<br />
Will update when I feel like it. I thank you for taking your time to read. Feel free to jot down any comments that you wish to and I shall reply. Flames and any signs of disrespect shall not be tolerated. Learn to be an adult to express your views even if you're not happy bout something.<br />
<br />
I felt I have changed much once more.. and it shall be proven in the coming blog posts.<br />
<br />
Cya soon bloggie... =)David Tayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483111302080963252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183283.post-7749079395811050422011-01-21T17:13:00.003+08:002011-01-21T17:34:02.055+08:00Money $$<div style="text-align: left;">I need more Money... damn it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Tough to find, hard to come by, and yet we need it everyday in our lives. We use it to shop, buy food, get our needs, get a house, a car, and all that sh!t.</div><div><br /></div><div>Some are filthy rich, some poor like dirt... some have only average.</div><div><br /></div><div>Why.. Is this world so unfair? Why can't we put like limits on how much one can have, and have the rest of those excess money distributed fairly to others? (sounds like communist I know.. but even communism are more like democratic systems nowadays ==")</div><div><br /></div><div>Whyyy sooooooo expensive to live in Malaysia? Or is it the same elsewhere?</div><div><br /></div><div>Dang poor ... I need a raise.. I need my bonus... Arghhh when can I get it?</div><div><br /></div><div>Seriously.. Najib's administration has been all about increasing this and that (prices.. so screw him I am NEVER voting for BN again, all of them are freaking rich eating our Rakyat's money!!)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I am so so tired.. tired.. of looking for more money. I could, but I know I would lack the commitment to do it now. Starting a business, selling insurance, or whatever network marketing gimmick which all require alot of time, patience and the ability to keep seeking and speaking to people.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's tough, it ain't easy, when you see people making big buck/side income out of those. I rather.. just focus on what's my best now, my career. I know I might sound lazy, but it just doesn't work for me (at this time of my life). I might restart my attempt again, maybe later at life when I'm so much more desperate for money (imagining myself having kids and a family and money flowing to every corner of our livelihood). </div><div><br /></div><div>It's not easy, but I gotta try, to aim for the stars, to build myself a castle, to earn my place in this society. By being the man, by being RICH one day. Not only just rich, but filthy rich. Yeah.. that's what I'm talking about....</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/rinche_n/WhyWeWantYouToBeRich.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 462px; " /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "></span><div>Answer: Coz money is never enough?

So fast the time flies... unbelievable.</div><div><br /></div><div>2010, what a year NOT to remember. Many things happened, and I would rather let it pass as another bad year. Bad because you lost the job in a dream company, bad because relationships and friendships were broken and lost, bad because prices kept shooting up faster than the DAP rocket, bad because I had more commitments to pay to as well, and finally bad because it was another single's year for me.</div><div><br /></div><div>And now 2011 came, and I wish with this new job, this new year, this new General Election that is coming, we as one Rakyat Malaysia can stand up to make a change. To have more Malaysians joining the Anti BN movement, to say no to the present corrupt government, and to vote consciously as a well-informed citizen.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ok putting politics aside, as for my personal life, I'm hoping that it will improve... I do see signs of improvement but I am not all that confident yet. Bad times might still come but I seriously hope this year would be better. Somehow I sense this year I wouldn't be in it alone.... Me and her have started something.. but I needed a more concrete and secure feeling before I am to reveal this to the world. (A relationship is NOT something you should be posting up in Facebook till it's really stable.. IMO... FB has been a relationship wrecker in many situations and many times for people =.=)</div><div><br /></div><div>2011, let's hope it will be a blast. Oh yeah and 2012 is coming... anyone prepared for Nostradamus' prophecies? LOL I decided to put it aside after much research into the subject.. there are some really horrid doubts surrounding the quatrains that were explained by some. </div><div><br /></div><div>The biggest doubt in regards to Nostradamus' prophecy for 2012:</div><div><ol><li>If you were to read up his actual book in quatrains, you would see that the prophecies aren't arranged in order? </li><li>Shouldn't it follow a proper timeline of things to happen? Like at least a proper flow of chapters? Else without the proper time and sequence of things to happen how is anyone were to know each passage were to happen when? All the quatrains are actually jumbled up like a bunch of hair.</li><li>I could just point at a quatrain and say it will happen tomorrow? But nobody really knows till it were to happen during that particular time and refer it back to the book?</li><li>Nostradamus doesn't specify a time that his writings would occur... there is never any date, year or time for that matter AT ALL in any of his quatrains.</li></ol></div><div><br /></div><div>People did decipher his prophecies wrongly before so I'm not rooting for anything till it happens. Hell if the world ends or many would die in some catastrophe, I don't think we could do anything much about it. Let's all just stick around and help each other out by then?</div><div><br /></div><div>I felt I have grown, into something I am not previously. It is even apparent in this blog post. This is what happens when people grow older I suppose, else we all might just be stuck in a kid's brain and watch everything fall apart. Better, smarter, wiser, stronger... that is what a year older would mean.</div><div><br /></div><div>Happy 2011!... hope you all have a great one!!</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zHUU7qYbwEA/TSLoLT82ceI/AAAAAAAAAiU/fERpIHpmRUM/s1600/New_Year_2011_Happy_2011_026324_.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zHUU7qYbwEA/TSLoLT82ceI/AAAAAAAAAiU/fERpIHpmRUM/s400/New_Year_2011_Happy_2011_026324_.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558260171160318434" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><br /></div><div> </div>David Tayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483111302080963252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183283.post-86195925384202177162010-12-25T19:41:00.006+08:002010-12-26T15:09:50.325+08:00disconnecting my blog to FB (and Merry Xmas post!)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zHUU7qYbwEA/TRbqJBvrFoI/AAAAAAAAAiE/ATIt_1ew7kg/s1600/Christmas2.jpg"></a><div style="text-align: left;">Decided to throw down the axe today...

Started with a few people having owned this tuition company which was huge in the US, and grown to such a big capital that they went and invest in buying universities instead... now they have many many institutions all around the world... all making alot of $$. (Education is prized and needed everywhere, especially when it's good tertiary education?). So the end of it was that the Laureate business overtook the tuition business (which was a different name) and ultimately became the core of the company. </div><div><br /></div><div>(oh wow the wikipedia version of it is sad zz... hope will improve soon: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laureate_Education">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laureate_Education</a>)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Currently my job is to support the internal staff globally on whatever IT issues that they have. The part I don't like that much is that we had to process many of the new hires tickets... and they can be like WHOA, THAT MANY? no choice bro... someone have to do it =D *put a smiling face and clean it up* We did brought this up and it's in the process of being automated or made easier... soon, and hopefully...</div><div><br /></div><div>We're a team of 4 currently, including my manager. So since it's less than a year we're all pioneers and starters of it. Basically me and Tan does most of the ticketing while Luke and Kelvin will be full time with the execs in Inti (the Laureate regional office is based there, our office is not.. our's is somewhere along the shops opposite Asia Cafe).</div><div><br /></div><div>Yeah, and I got a blackberry for the first time being on the job.. isn't that awesome or wat?</div><div><br /></div><div>Our company is still "codename" IGT.. which will change soon, hopefully (too)... coz telling ppl u are from IGT is like, "what's IGT?" "what do they do?" yada-yada *yawn*</div><div><br /></div><div>And hopefully we get parking claims, and our own medical card too, so we can see docs without first needing to pay it... NOT convenient, uh-huuh...</div><div><br /></div><div>So u see... i'm very careful about what I type above.. ALWAYS be very careful bout what you type in regards to your company, OK? stay outta trouble from legal, HR, your manager and all sorts... ppl can spy when u least know it. Anyhow, u're still working there right? Who pays the bill? Your current company right? So that's why I always ask ppl to STFU and work... if don't like no need to make a big fuss and noise bout it, be wise and prepare to leave silently.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zHUU7qYbwEA/TLCkqx3PduI/AAAAAAAAAhw/MoAdATmlq5s/s1600/laureate_logo.gif"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zHUU7qYbwEA/TLCkqx3PduI/AAAAAAAAAhw/MoAdATmlq5s/s200/laureate_logo.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526097797630097122" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 169px; height: 42px; " /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zHUU7qYbwEA/TLCkbi0zElI/AAAAAAAAAho/JzByJsCeI4o/s1600/laureate_logo.gif"></a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>this is the global site:</div><div><a href="http://www.laureate.net/">http://www.laureate.net/</a></div><div><br /></div><div>as you can see, this is the amount of institutions they own:</div><div><a href="http://www.laureate.net/en/OurNetwork.aspx">http://www.laureate.net/en/OurNetwork.aspx</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>"There's a bright future working here...

All with loads of stuffs which has been happening.<br /><br />Firstly, the bomb of all news. I am officially leaving Dell. Not coz I chose to, but coz Dell thinks I'm not good enough for it. Can't blame tho, with my lack of experience in Global support, the reason that they hire me was coz they thought I could made it... and plus the support is really critical.<br /><br />Not much calls actually in my current helpdesk, but once a call comes in for SaaS (Software as a Service), it will blow your mind off, well, if you are unlucky enough to get some really rare/explosive stuff.<br /><br />And I admit, I am not good enough. I did bring it up... and I did say that given more time I definitely could prove myself. But that was not accepted, I was pressured, and thus, I had to make way for something new in my life. A change of job. I would like to reveal more, but Dell's policy of not allowing anything (posts, facebook etc) that is to undermined its name and brand is something to think of. They could bring you to court.<br /><br />So.. I will state this. That I've learnt a lot from it. That I've not wasted all of my time. I did grew from it. Yet all i wish was not for me to leave in this way. What to do, sometimes things are just way out of our control. I will learn not to do the same mistakes that I did there (which I didn't realized they were mistakes till it came back at me like a boomerang).<br /><br />A few key things I've learnt:<br />1. Never ever trust anyone at work, no matter how close you are (unless you know the person personally outside of work, preferably before you joined the company).<br /><br />2. Dealing with Western Cultures (a training that I went, was taught by Andrew, a Canadian currently residing in Malaysia for 8 years already)... which shed light on the difference of Malaysia culture and cultures in the US and Europe. What we could do about it and how we could improved.<br /><br />3. Effective Communication Skills (a course that I thought i knew darn well, due to previously working in Maxis and HP going through the same lesson before... but no.. this is way more deep and detailed and emphasizes on how you talk, your tone, facial expression, to the point of detecting lies and body language.) One important quote I learnt from the trainer: "You do not need to speak loud, but, do speak out, and speak UP... that is when people will listen to what you've said." (Tone, the way you speak, the way you emphasize on the words, is important.)<br /><br />4. Passion Driven Mindset - this is where we were taught on how to ignite passion in everything that we do. So that we would not grow bored, and know how to manage things in order to succeed. One important story I've learn: "If you were force to eat a live toad, when will you eat it? You have to do it everyday, lest you will be killed by the village chef if you do not do so." Answer: "As early in the morning, once you woke up, you have to do it." Coz it's the best time to do something, that is this hard. When you finish the hardest part of the day, the other chores will seem easier, and it will not bug u down as much as not doing it and have that thought floating in your head. Always start with the toughest chores/tasks, and finishing it with easier things to do near the end of the day.<br /><br />5. Say good things, and good things only, whenever you are in your company. Never whine, never complain. Coz those things can be used by your colleagues as a weapon to your manager/boss. No matter how you feel, when ppl ask you "How are you feeling working here?" say... "It's good, it's great, i'm proud to be here, this is THE BEST JOB EVAH" Yea, that is the best answer. Really...<br /><br />6. Double check everything with your boss/manager if you are not sure. If you feel uneasy with a decision, escalate to get confirmation. Before you end up burning your own ass in the oven with your boss the next day.<br /><br />7. Get the job started fast, swift, and perfect even in the beginning of the job. Never procrastinate, as this could become a reason for them not wanting to confirm you later on. "So far I am not convince with your performance" After the 3rd month is the last thing you wanna hear when you are "begging" for that confirmation.<br /><br />8. Do not, EVER, sign for a job unless you really UNDERSTAND what the job REQUIRES of you. ASK, ASK plenty about how the job is gonna be, what are they expecting of you, what they want out of you, how's the environment like, how's your own team gonna be like and how they treat newbies, how the US team reacts to working with us Asians. (those salary, bonus, benefits questions are secondary if you can't even survive in it once you start???)<br /><br />That's all for this post. Guess I've shared a lot of valuable experience here. Use it, coz it's usable anywhere you work. That is what I plan to do, all the lessons I've learnt here, will never be wasted.<div><br /></div><div>Lastly, a short comic to ask yourself before you agree to that job offer:</div><div><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://www.nextdayflyers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/we-want-you.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 191px; height: 215px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#66FFFF;">TO </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">WORK YOUR ASS OFF</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#66FFFF;">......</span></span></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#66FFFF;">ARE YOU </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">READY</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#66FFFF;"> FOR THE </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><u>JOB</u></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#66FFFF;">??</span></span></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>David Tayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483111302080963252noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183283.post-55211728053291333032010-06-06T16:33:00.002+08:002010-06-06T16:42:27.159+08:00thanks..Thanks for all that have celebrated and remembered my birthday (ok tho i know FB has that b'day reminder thing.. yet being this close and wishing me, I really appreciate it)<br /><br />Thanks to mum for getting me a new spec, lovin' it! been using the previous for 3 years already..<br /><br />Thanks to Didie, Alex, Mahen and their GFs for going out yest for that movie and awesome dinner! (tho i admit i picked the wrong movie la.. Nanny McPhee was for kids! xD )<br /><br />I was shocked to see that huge choc cake coming when the TGI Fridays crew came and sing the bday song... a secret recipe choc fudge cake... awesomely big and we only manage to finish half of it xD Super full b'day dinner. The medium-rare steak (best cooking way I feel to eat a steak) was very good, the rest had steaks too or some burger/caesar salad.<br /><br />Enjoyed it alot with you guys... can actually sit down once more, chat and bincang like some old time friends. Hard to find such colleagues that can click with you so much!<br /><br />Went to clubbing at Laundry after that. Dinesh joined us (another close ex BAT colleague) and we had parteh!! DJ Fuss was good.. but i sorta felt drowsy and had to excuse myself after that.. (we really ordered a lot of classic cocktails like Long Island and Borneo Knock Out) The music near the end was really too much for me to take (we were sitting near the stage and it was REAL LOUD. Went out twice just to sit by myself to get some peace... <br /><br />If I weren't working on that day things would be more enjoyable.. half the energy went to work adi.. but still thanks alot buddies! hope for a next outing soon... <br /><br />And thanks all for the wish at FB and SMS... Hope to keep in touch and may we be friends till the end! :DDavid Tayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483111302080963252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183283.post-78595967075515509262010-05-30T12:40:00.003+08:002010-05-30T13:08:05.654+08:00boy girl relationshipOk here goes.. my so called "analysis" and "hypothesis" on the whole dating landscape in the new century...<br /><br />I might be wrong.. or right.. in this end it's the readers' call too.. but here are my findings after observing and going through so many...<br /><br />Dating or a relationship is no longer simple. The definition of simple is when you ask about your parents, auntie, uncle's relationship and found out that, it was just asking one out, getting to know each other, and soon enough they tie the knot. <br /><br />But these days, many other factors come into play.<br /><br />First, you have to understand that woman know has access to education as well, one that was considered rare and expensive for either gender, thus man always had more opportunity to go for it. And those times even men are lowly educated. Thus explains why most people just jumped into the mud and get employed without much...<br /><br />These days, for those after those born after the year 1960s, most have a degree. It was emphasized starting that time that a degree is needed to secure a job and to increase one's value. The difference? totally different for those after that time, very apparent after the 1970s born people... <br /><br />The affect spiraled to the dating/relationship scene, and as it continues to ripple the effects... u can see now how complicated the "scene" has become.<br /><br />Another fact is internet explosion... never look down at what this small giant can do... coz it seems so harmless that it's accessible via the pc and mobile.. yet with it knowledge and wisdom and all other human sharing can be found in it. Woman can leverage on what guys know simply by searching and reading. Thus closing the difference in both where nowadays both genders are called to be "equal".<br /><br />Woman no longer care bout how rich a guy is, how stable he is, how much of material things he has. Yet it is still important, but only to a point. The main thing now is personality/character. Why I said so? Notice why there are guys that still can't find someone while on the other hand, someone with lower achievements yet with a strong "woman-pleasing" character, usually gets the upper hand. (this might offend some ppl for being generalizing, yet know that things are debatable... be open to what I write or don't read at all.) So what's woman-pleasing? It is when a guy is said to be able to understand a woman well, and able to show characteristics that pleases a woman..so much so he doesn't need to do much to get them to like him. Wanna know more.. the only way is to bump into such a guy.. hear 10 girls agree to it, and see for urself why he's special.<br /><br />Man can no longer just employ his hunting skills as to what he practices eons ago... now they need to focus on sharpening the most important asset... communications & actions. This will ultimately formed his character and personality too. Thoughts will play a role too as with thoughts comes the rest. Habits will make him become who is he if he continues to dwell in them too long. The final product is the "packaged" product of what makes the guy a guy...<br /><br />So guys, think that you have your wallets full? A credit card, a house? will suffice? No more... This is the new era. The era where women is confident about themselves, have a stable job, a degree and they can stand with their two feet even when they have no men around them... coz all they need is their bunch of friends to help them out and pull them together again. Or they can simply bring their wallets out and go shopping till they drop. (woman now has larger savings than guys too, yet they'd nvr tell a guy how much they have)<br /><br />So you ask, so how? i'm single now and I can't seem to find anybody, is like it keeps failing and nothing works... There comes another factor which is the age too. As long u have that skill-sets filled to a certain point, you can rest assure with that "not giving up" attitude one day u'll find the right someone. You will understand it when you talk to 2 different age groups of girls, one at 20s-25s and those that are 27s-30s. One age group are not anticipating marriage while the other knows that they need to be there soon... <br /><br />Girls might get offended by the whole writing, yet I am only typing what I observe, as everyone notices different thing and has a different viewpoint, and above is mine.<br /><br />For guys, buck up and start honing all the good stuffs u can about urself.. or be prepared to live it out alone and not having anyone at your side. <br /><br />For ladies, sigh... Is hard to change them.. let them choose to be who they are.. We as men can only advise, yet the ultimate part is when they decided enough is enough and to do the right thing.<br /><br />That's all from my end.. feel free to blast me and i'll see what I can do to reply..<br /><br />~end~David Tayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483111302080963252noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183283.post-35107220923294710022010-05-27T22:00:00.007+08:002010-05-27T22:11:52.513+08:00back to serious updatingfeeling that my blog is kinda left out... so i'm gonna start update whatever i feel like it without caring what the world thinks.. had enuff of trying to please ppl.<br /><br />this is MY PERSONAL SPACE and others will not have a chance to say whatever they feel like it as YOU CAN READ IT but WATEVER COMMENTS THAT IS NOT NEEDED i might just as well SHOVE it back to your face, thank u very much.<br /><br />sorry lost it thr.. just ranting to feel better :)<br /><br />it's May 2010, so damn fast... mid of the year and I'm stuck here, at this moment in life where many things are happening.<br /><br />new company, new environment, new job, new people, new friends, everything has just started from ground Zero the day I came here. And I hope all will goes well and for me to keep proving myself here. My capabilities, strengths and any that I can offer to the team and organization.<br /><br />as back to personal life, I sort of feel drained recently by stuffs that has been going on, some that has left deep impacts in my life. Will not hold too high hopes in things anymore as you might just fall greater from a taller height. Gonna do things in low profile and silent mode, till it is the absolute safe and secure time to reveal it. People can just be destructive with words and comments even when at times they think they are helping. So better rely on self and go through those alone... Stand up and work things out like a man.<br /><br />Gonna be 25 soon officially...
