my current record... almost fell asleep doing it...
Education
Ever thought why some of the richest man didn't even finish highschool? Some didn't even went to highschool. In what sense is education important to us? I would still remember when my dad says that during when he was way younger, people who has finish standard 3 would be able to get decent jobs that can sustain a family. Soon after that, the requirement went up to the point where people would hire only those who finish standard 6.
Finishing form 3 is an exit for people in the suburbs--in order to get a job in the city. My parents who are rather successful now has finished up to only form 5. According to them, finishing form 5 is pretty decent already.
When I was still in high school, I've heard from some of the seniors who have graduated that they are taking diploma. It was said that to get better paid jobs, diploma is a stepping stone. Then there was the advanced diploma.
Finally, when I am in college--degree is an essential for people to get a white collar job. Despite all the effort, people are actually doing diploma then advance diploma and finally degree; just so they can get a job. When I am about to finish my degree, rumours or maybe just words spreaded through mouths of uni students--masters would get you further and get you a better paid job.
Then again, how true are all these? Have you ever given a thought about it? Why is the standard being raised to drastically? Is it really that important for us to study so much in our 11 years of education and to add another 3-5 years of higher education to find out that we would probably need to spend another year to two years getting our masters. How many professional out there in the market actually got their masters before they start working?
Isn't all this like a hoax where the education is turning into a money making industry? Jobs are popping up around the globe in relation to education. A decent university would hire about 200 staff at least? Text book printings, construction of universities, renovations, material/instrument/equipments for universities. Think about it.
If you can't get a job after acquiring your masters, where would you go? be a lecturer? or professor? or a tutor at the nearby university? Jobs are popping up to curb with all the increment of universities that are trying to make money. There are like tens of thousands of higher education institute.
In order to finish a degree locally with a acceptable cert or at least with a university that is accepted by the local industries/companies and employers--right after your SPM (form5), easily hitting RM45,000 (plus minus your books, assignment materials, transportation, and other expenses while getting your degree). If you do twinning of 1 year; RM80,000 , 2 year;RM120,000. If you were to finish all 4 years oversea, probably close to RM220,000.
Simpe maths, an average degree holder would have a basic salary of RM1,800 to RM2,800 (assuming you get a job). Deducting apart from all those expenses, savings and extra usage. How long do you think you would take to pay off your RM220,000? Do you think you would be able to pay off a loan of RM220,000 and still pay for your car/house installment? Is it necessary?
Let's switch view. Is all these education level a way of screening and filtering the vast amount of younger generation flooding the market? Higher competition? A 22 y/o guy would apply for this job that a guy without degree who took 3 years to get. The older generation would be threaten or feel unequal treatment.
Every year there are over a thousands and thousands of form 5 graduates. Where do they go? How many actually get a job? How many manage to go into colleges and universities? Are there enough well paid jobs for everyone? Imagine a job that only require you to finish SPM and the pay is like RM2,500. How many thousand of resume they have to go through? Vice versa, if they state that they only want people who has degree in related field--that alone would filter out at least half of those resume.
How has education come about in the past few decades? In my line of job, I get to go through list of schools in different states. The list just go on and on and on. The list printed out and stacked together (primary and secondary), it would probably become a yellow pages. The population on earth is growing exponentially, would "us" be just someone who's so insignificant because we just finished degree? People by then would have finished doctrate?
Imagine an ad in the classifieds,
"Doctrate in related fields or at least 2 masters. Salary RM2,500."
Alot of the things that we learn in uni or in the text books are things we often can learn right on the spot within a certain job through hands-on experience. With that said, I didn't mean to say we don't need to go uni or read the text books or have exams. We learn the basics in school and futher strengthen our foundation in college and universities.
All these ramblings are just partial thoughts of what I think and wonder. Someone came to my table, asked me a question and broke my train of thought. I totally lost what else I can further comment.
Is education really a need or is it a need instill in us by others? or perhaps forced upon us in this ever evolving world where the only stronger ones would survive?

Ramblings
We go through alot in life, we see probably up to hundreds or even thousands of faces a day, type thousands of words, have hundreds of separate conversations and do our daily routines. How many of those are the things that you actually remember or enjoy doing?
I believe it is because things that are least or hardest to achieve that are most cherished. Then again, it would probbably vary among different people. If given the things we want all the time, we would seem to takes things for granted and it would simply lose its luster and fade out.
There are also things that we look forward to everyday, things that keep us going from day to day, keeping us afloat among the stress and harsh reality of life. Despite the difference in the things that we distinctively hope for, it would usually come down to one certain point where it gives us that morale and energy that rant through our body and keep us going.
What are those things that might keep you going? Are those things worth your effort?

Food Gourmet
Was accompanying my buddy Ryan to Sunway area for some car parts (behind Sunway College and Sunway Pyramid--there's a turn after Sunway Pyramid) on Saturday. My darl and I was awaken early in the morning to get ready and accompany Ryan out. He picked us up and we went to check out his stuff. By mid-day, we're rather hungry already and he took us to this place call "Food Gourment"... hope I remember it correctly. This is what we had...


Drinks came pretty quick... and Sorry Ryan! I forgot to take picture of you--forgive me ya. We waited for about 5-7mins and our food came.
Normal Fried Laksa was very fragrant
.jpg)
Fried Laksa (kurang pedas for Ryan)

Snapping picture of Darl's Food while I wait for my own.

Wat Tan Hor is here! weee~!

Look pretty good eh? (^oo^)

See la! Makan until everywhere also got... 
Yours truly love being pampered... hehe
Overall, the place is pretty good. The other dishes didn't really appeal to me; so I ordered Wat Tan Hor because my darl had ordered Fried Laksa. I am definitely a Popiah Lover--ordered a RM4 popiah.
The Popiah, a huge disappointment compared to the price. Just aint worth the price. 2.5/6
Fried Laksa, a HUGE surprise. RM5 is worth its price as you don't get to eat it everywhere else. 4.5/6
Wat Tan Hor, expected. Nothing special, not very nice, not very tasteless. RM5 is a little overpriced but I guess it would get a decent 3/6.
Drinks are just typical herbal tea and barley drink.
Food Gourmet would get a decent 3.5/6 for its cleanliness and its Fried Laksa. Would recommend it if you like laksa in a different style. You're welcome to try other dishes and comment it here. *smileys*

HP w2207H LCD Monitor
Weee~! Wooo~! Wah~! I am a very happy person last night when I finally got my first LCD monitor and guess what... it's a 22 inch wide screen!!! wah!!! soooooo sooooo Happy... can't express it... I was just so happy... almost like a little boy getting his first present. everything seem so different... watching movie, playing game, surfing net... I was like OMG!!!!
hahahaha... (: just wanted to share my joys with the world...




The colors are amazing, something I wouldn't have expected from HP. The innovative design, the ergonomic style of height adjustment, tilting, swivel-ing and even pivot-ing. The outlook itself is a killer already.
All of those packed into one nicely designed screen that has really good quality images. It even has USB ports and speakers. Is it even legal to put so many feature into one screen?
Smash-ing Pop Kor's Bday!

News Update
I was on my way to work at about 9am. On the way cruising through Old Klang Road waiting for the traffic light, a silver saga wants to come into the fast lane--being the gentleman I'm, I let her in(didn't know it was a her until much later). Within like matter of 2 seconds, a motorcycle crashed right into the her door and fender. He basically flew for like a milisecond before landing side ways.
Best of it all. I had the front row seat. All of that happened right in front of me. I was shocked for like a few seconds before regaining my thoughts. The victim was still able to stand, throw vulgar words and even kicked the bumper of the Saga.
Amazing feats eh? The saga drove on to the left side of the road and stopped along those shoplots. I had to rush on to work--pass by the Saga, saw that it was a Indian lady already on the phone calling for...(help i suppose) and so I've no further picture or updates on the situation.

This is the only picture I can take of the accident. Couldn't have recorded the whole thing though, need to grab my phone and capture it... and people were honking from my back d.
This prompts some thoughts; who's at fault? should motorcyclist be on the fast lane of a 3 lane road? was the motorcyclist adhering to the 60kmph?(if he had, probably he could have stop in time) The good thing that the Saga driver did was--she drove on to the other side of the road and not hog/clog the road and cause another massive jam through the entire Old Klang Road--it was during a peak hour.
Drivers,motorcyclist, whether or not you're involved in an accident/car break down--DO NOT stop your car in the middle of a busy road/see and look at the thing like you're some CSI trying to make some conclusion, at least make sure you're out of the way for other road users.
Another topic I would like to bring up. Especially for girls. Do you know how easy is it to spike your drink when you leave your drink unattended or in your blind spots? Whether it is in a lounge, club or a pub. Please be extra careful. This is something I found while doing some research on my project.
Make sure this is not you...
Some stuff to just cheer up your day after I scare you with a real story, some facts of life... and now... presenting misplacements of advertisements!!! weee~! *cheers*
I really doubt if you would ever bring your child here.
Hmm... not such a good posture afterall... ^_^

Pappa Kopitiam
Was going back and forth on the street in the Curve. Didn't know where to go after Colbie's Caillat so my darl and I ended up in Pappa Kopitiam. Apparently, it was rumoured to have the best coffee in town so we just decided to try it out.

Tong Yuen in Soya Bean Milk!!!! My Fav... not bad... red bean, black sesame and peanut... *yum*
Felt insufficient and I decided to order the Pappa's Steam Bread with Kaya and Butter. Been my favourite for a long time since primary school. Used to go ampang for it long time ago.

Overall presentation was appetizing.

The soft warm thick bread spread with kaya and top with butter... it was heavenly...
The ambience was relaxing with soft 60s English music playing and matching furnitures. The cleanliness was good too. Just don't pick places with the sun on top of you--spot lights can be rather HOT. The waiters are quite helpful and I suppose i would go there again.
Pappa Kopitiam deserves a 4.5/6. (:

Berry's Blue Cheese Tart
Had a long relaxing weekend. Haven't had much time to upload any of my pictures. Just finish a meeting and got back to the office. Had my lunch and now I've a little break in between to upload and blog about it. Colbie's update would come later. Alot to write about.
Anywayz, here are some pictures of the stuff I had over the weekend.
First Entry
Berry's Blue Berry Cheese Tart. *Yum yum* *slurping* *drooling* a little over exaggerated.
In real fact:
Overall: 3.5/6
The box is not badThe design is alright too.
Looks pretty good
First bite by darl--*heavenly taste*
Second bite by me--*expected taste*
Additional snack I bought while waiting for the rain to slowdown before getting into the car after purchasing the tarts.
Hershey's Kissables are like M&M except that they use Hershey's chocolates as fillings and made into a their all time favourite Kisses's shape. (:The taste was rather satisfying but if someone who doesn't cherish chocolates as much would probably think that it taste just like M&M rather than being different from it.
Overall: 4/6
Hershey's Kissables

Brain Teaser
This is a 5th grade math problem. If you can't stand word math problems, just delete now. If you can open the > spreadsheet, you'll see it's a very small list of people who have gotten the correct number. This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs.
There are 7 girls in a bus.
Each girl has 7 backpacks.
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.
For every big cat there are 7 little cats.
Question: How many legs are there in the bus?
try leaving me an answer... (: will email you if you're right... :)
Busy
Sorry people... had a rather busy day today and I came home pretty late last night... would be having some updates very soon for colbie and other stuff i had planned to post... ^_^ patience people... patience... (:
*cheers*

Colbie Caillat
Tickets! Tickets! I've got tickets to see Colbie Callat Live in Laundry Bar at the Curve!
I would like to thank Hitz.fm. I was working in Kelana Jaya when I got a text from my darl telling me that "they are giving out Colbie Callat's Show Case Tickets in front of UOB in Uptown Damansara. I jumped up and rushed out to Uptown in my colleague's car (Jazz is on his way to uptown too). Fated! hahaha...
Once I reach nearby UOB, I got off straight--instead of waiting for Jazz to take one round to reach UOB. I went to UOB but I saw nobody around, no crowd or what so ever. Was disappointed and then I saw a purple truck. Weee~! my lucky day! Hitz Cruisers! They were about to leave and I got my tickets from them! So kind of them. Didn't get their name but I was grateful that they gave me a ticket anyway. Thanks alot!
Been sending dozens and dozens of sms to 32111 but I couldn't win any. Was really disappointed already but those two tickets made my day; not to mention how happy my darl was. (^oo^)
Weee~! Happy Happy. I am going to leave the office earlier so I can fetch my darl to the Curve. Better to be early than to be late. Get a parking spot, grab a light dinner and hopefully a vantage point to see Colbie in flesh! More updates tonight.

What would you do if you were an Ah Long?
Advertlets giving out TIX!!!! for the Ah Long PTE LTD... 老师家老大
AH LONG??? Does it mean ABANG LONG ah?? or anak sulung??? Oh well... if its anak sulung... then i am exactly the opposite--the youngest child in the family... anak bongsu^_^
Let's get back to "What would you do if you were an Ah Long?".
If I were an Ah Long I would definitely provide my Ah Long service online! Through Advertlets! Haha... think about it, bloggers are human too--they need money also! Furthermore, I believe it is very tempting. I can create some incentives for them too, for every RMxxxx I loan out--they get like RMxx amount. Good deal eh? Hahaha...
We've to be up-to-date with all these things. For each blogger that writes a post about their experience with me would get a discount on their interest rates. ^_^ and of course they have to link back to me.
I would make it more into a business... in hopes of going onto the second board. *dreaming*
Being Ah Long is definitely not easy, you have to buy alot of those "self-adhesive tatoos" if you don't plan to be ah long for life. Keep in touch and being able to utilize all the vulgars you can master. Apart from that, do you know FROWNING is harder than smiling--talking about frowning 24/7... definitely tiring. Half to carry those knifes, choppers, and whatever equipment around. Another hassle, you know... it is already tiresome enough to carry that big LV bag, packets of cigarrettes, rolls and rolls of money(need to give loans on the spot ma), sunshades, heavy gold chains ,pendants and handphoneS (different numbers. There are already so many accessories.
But then again, if I really be an Ah Long--I would definitely try and do more deeds with all the money I've gain access to while charging super high interest on those guys who would gamble away their children and wifes. MAKING THEM REGRET! bwahahaha... but then again... I am being so mean. I would only give loans to people who are investing.
I would hire some consultants, financial advisors and I would only give loans to those who have opportunities to gain and profit. If a person is taking loan from me for business, I would consult him and make sure his business florish. Afterall, what's the point of seeing him die if he's going a dead end? Noone would pay his debts and my money would go down the drain if he jumps off KL tower.
SimpleJoshua, the revolutionary Ah Long--Simply The Simplest To Apply Ah Long.
Why would I Want to Dine in Wine Cellar?
Wine Cellar is a place that I've heard of and wanted to go. Probably because I've never been able to save that much to pamper myself that much. Was randomly browsing through the net for some image about Ice Cream Motorcyle for my project and I came across Nicole's Blog and I just enjoy myself reading through and feeling a little hungry and *envious* of her--being able to travel and try out all the things. Wine Cellars!!!! hahaha... what a conincident... with the "s" and the difference is colossal--another store in KK; I think.
Oh yes, back to the reason why I want to dine in wine cellar? Been wanting to since I grew to enjoy wine despite the fact that I wasn't given the chance to enjoy the good ones. The best I tried so far was back in Penang on a business trip. It is this small little shop near the Sheraton. Totally forgot the name of it. It cost me about Rm 120, if I am not mistaken--it is an Australian wine.
To have a hearty meal in a nice environment made to pamper ourself, with all the small little details being planned to make the stay a more enjoyable one--who wouldn't want? Apart from that, I believe it is the small little things around us and the small little things we do for others that makes each and every moment captivating; not to mention mesmerizing.
From the moment you reach the area of Wine Cellar, finding your parking. The journey from your car to the doorstep. *the convenience of carpark and the route/path to the doorstep, all of these would give you a totally feeling even before you enter*
Just like you leaving that little note next to the bed for the one you love with a simple "Love the sweet smile of yours <3", and when she sees it, it would probably be the best part of her day. Small things can do wonders in everything we do. Details are the little things that make us unique afterall.
I would love to lay back and enjoy the wine served and to know where it originated, which vineyard and which year it was produced. Discussing it over with someone who has similar interest. Having a relaxing evening without hassle and stress. How else you would spend that one evening if not in such a manner?
Finally, the best way to top all of this--being able to LEARN more about wine, how to drink it, how to differentiate it, and everything else from Ron. Afterall, wine tasting is a pleasure that would be very much fulfilling to the heart and mind.
p/s: it would probably be different if Nicole would join me and Ron--AND not forgeting about my darl. SHE IS DEFINITELY COMING ALONG even if I would have to pay for her to come along.

10,000 BC
Watched 10000BC in Golden Screen Cinema over the weekend in Midvalley. The movie started off pretty well with every a little different from other similar storyline movies--but it is just so expected that the Evolet (blue eye girl) would be with D'leh and etc etc. I was really looking forward to this movie but it was a little disappointing right from the start.
Main characters:
Steven Strait as D'leh and Camilla Belle as Evolet


Then again, the scenes and some of the CGIs are pretty decently made. It would actually prompt many different thoughts about the movie and how true was the story.


I would try not to say too much about the movie, go watch it and be the judge of it. My friend Vincent thinks that the movie is pretty good as he really gave all the questions brought up a very thoroughly. I guess the point of the movie has its truth within it.
One thing that I like eventhough it seems a little unreal, is the fact that the love between D'leh and Evolet was so strong that it drove him to travel a more than quarter way around Earth on FOOT.
Some interview with the main actors. Interview
Rating: 2.5/6
