It had been more than a week since my last post and many stuff had happened within this period. From fetch a pretty lady back KL from Klang to results coming out and CTRE course I had attended. At finally, I am typing this post for you from Melaka.

Hopefully I can write on all of those stuff in coming days. Really need pray hard that I don't get lazy. This post is to talk about my results from last semester and also some comment on anything that comes to my mind about the subjects.

First subject I that came of the result page was Strategic Planning & Management. (Was using iPod Touch and scrolling down the mini screen =.=) I got A-. A good result indeed at first glance. With the tips and also answers that was given by the lecturer before the exam, a good outcome is inevitable. After some thought, A- is not the result I was hoping for. I need at least an A to show that Mr Chee that his perspective of me was wrong.

Mr Chee is a good lecturer indeed, but as many good tutors in TARC are, a bit arrogant. Why would I need a good result? To prove to him that he is a sucker when he condemn my test results. During midterm test, I got 71%, which I feel okay. But this guy just say he should not give me such good results. WTF Why you don't say this to those who get 80-90% by copying out of text? If I got an A, I would text him this, "What I got in the test shows my true potential, what they got in test is nothing near what will they get in the finals." Well, I don't have the luxury to write this to him. What a shame. What a disappointment.

Then the next to come is International Business Environment. I was expecting to get an A but an A- is a good result. With the tips given all out of the real exam questions, many people was worried. I'm not because I read the whole book, not just tips. The lecturer, Mr Khoo was a nice guy and look pretty like a Chinese singer. I sleep in his class, played computer games but he just smile every time. Maybe he just don;t give a damn. =.= Anyway, really need to thank him for what he taught us, although it is something that had been repeated throughout my four years in TARC.

Next scrolled up the screen was Case Study. I had no say, speechless. Got a B-. The worst result for a paper since I enrolled in TARC. What can I do? Full assignment paper and assignments are my weak link. I don;t have good relationship with the lecturers and those results are based on subjective views. And Mr Lenny was a boring lecturer. While he say he will marked objectively, all I can say is don;t bullshit me. =.= You even scolded me when it was not me who talked in the class.

Lastly was my favorite subject, International Marketing. It was taught by Ms Saranjit a.k.a. Mom. This was the most interesting class in my TARC life. ^^ From the first class I was actively participating. LOLx Replied "Yes, Mom" when my name was called on taking attendance. Interaction between classmates was at a high point with her interesting way of conducting lectures and tutorials. Got an A was a sure thing. Met her after got my result and she was also a very happy lady especially knowing me getting A and also YeeHang getting B in her paper.

Lastly, the overall result was dragged down by my CS result. T.T With a CGPA of 3.6210, I had to say goodbye to my certificate of Distinction graduation. Hopefully I still can get a First Class Degree from SHU when I fly there in June. ^^ Peace out~~

My last few article was too long and boring I think as no one gave me any comments. T.T So I will try to keep this one brief, hopefully. I was going to write about the Flat Earth Society but I think I can't convince myself to write such an absurd stuff in my blog. LOL I believe the Earth is round and revolve around the sun. Full stop.

That was not what I going to talk about today. Today's topic will be one Chinese love to give in their time for - gambling. I planned to write this last week after the CTRE but was not motivated until today when my friends discussed about gambling in Genting again.

No one can deny that Chinese crave for the trill of gambling, or maybe just the winning part. LOL Who doesn't? Based on my research from articles for my assignments last year, I found out that there is actually a scientific explanation to this. Chinese have high external locus of control and attributes their wealth and gains on their luck and fate. They also think that some alteration to tiny aspect in life can make them in control over the dealer. Innocent group of people.

For Chinese, although not all of us, if we are in a state of winning, it's our luck. If we lose, we blame our ancestors for not protecting us against the bad lucks. We blame those who are dead when we do not prosper. Maybe I can see the logic for general stuff but in terms of gambling in casinos like Genting, I think we should thank our ancestor for providing protection against these evil games. Why did I say so? Here's why.

Let's say if your ancestor provide you a favor, helping you to win the very first time you gamble, you will be happy but not yet addicted. Then, you win and win and one day become addicted, you are gone as the probability is stacked against you in any casino in the world. If your ancestor let you lose the first few times, then you will have a mindset against gambling and that may saved you from future losses, huge one. Gambling addiction kills too.

Don't believe me? I have one friend who won in style the first time. "In style" means everywhere he bet that day he won, almost every bet. He even wanted to try to show hand on the dice on his last round before being stopped by other friends. He was definitely addicted that night he lost his virginity in casino gambling. Had he not lost on his second adventure to the mountain of wealth "giving" few weeks later, he may become one of those who lose everything due to gambling addiction. He might still have the urge to throw his money in this "deposit account" to gain future "interest" but had slowed down in his action.

If we look into it in the long term, our ancestor might have been protected us from the catastrophic effect of gambling. So, I think losing a little in the beginning might be a blessing in disguise for all. Maybe trying some luck with control will be a good way to pass time but limit yourself. ^^

The Formula One fever is back and the carnival is going to be kicked start in less than a week. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is burning hot on the grid, and off the grid too in Malaysia. The first stop for this year’s race is Bahrain and I am really looking forward to it. ^^

I had been following Formula One since 1999, the year Malaysia caught that fever. After 11 years, Formula One is still able to catch my attention with its new technologies. (Yes, techs. There girls in F1 is not as plentiful.) Well, every year there will be new excitements and this year is what I can say the one I most anticipate.

Why did I said so? This year there will be again new rules. The most notable change is the removal of refueling during pit stops, reverting the race back to its original form in 1994. Maybe by removing that function, few people in the team will have to be laid off. LOLx We will see less flames in the pit but strategies are still important as tyres do wear off. Less the refueling, racers will certainly need to rely less on team strategists and focus more on racing their race. Racing should be done through overtaking on tracks, not through pit stops. =.= There might be also changes in the point system, but I cannot confirm on that.

Then there will be new teams competing amid the withdrawal of two experienced teams. Of the four new teams that registered themselves, only three might make the grid. And the one I really look forward is Lotus, who are returning to F1 under the support from the Malaysian government and businessperson, notably Datuk Tony Fernades. Owned by Proton now, Lotus sports cars are one of my favourites. Looking forward to see them finish middle of the pack (Honesty, I don’t see them chasing for top honours this year). Another team was built by my idol, Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Group. Both Tony and Richard even had a bet on who will be better and the loser, LOL, will have to wear their counterpart’s airline’s air stewardess dress. This is something nice to see at the end of the season.

The biggest anticipation of all will be the returning of the legendary Michael Schumacher. My top sports idol, made his name through titles while at Benetton and Ferrari before retiring. Perhaps life gets bored if you are used to being fast. Still remembering the first season I watch F1 on papers, he was good, but broke his leg in a crash that year. He ended the season 5th in the overall ranking. With a broken leg marred his season, his position is extremely good. He was a Ferrari driver ever since I started viewing F1 races and so, Ferrari was my top choice to support.

But this year will be a different scenario, he had signed with Mercedes, with the consent of Ferrari (Ferrari respected him so much they just let him go although he is their biggest ambassador). And for this I respect Ferrari for letting Michael continuing his dreams. Ferrari got two good drivers but I will root for Mercedes GP this season and seasons thereafter if this macho looking driver’s still around. Looking forward to see him take risk in the circuit again, as no one is really near him in terms of risk taking. Ironically, I don’t like Mercedes’ design of sports car.

With the return of the Michael, the field will be packed with so many world champions in the same season for the 1st time in years. We will get to see Alonso (the guy who beat Michael to the crown two years straight before the legend retires) in a red hot Ferrari, Hamilton and reigning champ Button in a all British McLarens and also the legend himself. It is sad that Raikonen prefer to opt out of this season (Ladies would be disappointed, but there’s still Jenson Button to look to). Other than these ex-champs, there also so many drivers in contention for the title. Massa, Vettel, Kubica and the list goes on.

Ask me who I wish will be champion in the end of the season? I will go for Massa in Ferrari for drivers championship and Red Bull for constructors’ championship. I really admire Massa being Schumacher’s sidekick before the One retire. The most cooperative driver I’d seen (Maybe it’s because it’s Schumacher), respond well to team orders and a risk taker in his driving as well (Remembers his tussle with Kubica few years ago for position). Why not Schumacher? Doesn’t he had enough holy grails in his house’s cabinet already? It will be good for him to win again but I will like Massa to take the trophy for the effort he put in. Losing in the final corner of the season two years was unfair for him. God was wrong and should fix it.

Back to the Tony v Richard case, who would I support? I would love to see Tony Fernandes wear a dress more than Richard. LOLx I feel that the Virgin owner is the type who would wear a dress even he was not asked to do so. But as a Malaysian, which I am proud of (Don’t bomb me if you don’t like Malaysia), I will support Lotus, support Proton, and in the end against Richard. T.T Hopefully, Proton’s advisor Tun Dr Mahathir will present me the new Lotus sports car as a gift for being a true Malaysian if he sees this (dreaming ^^), opposing my favourite businessperson.

The race starts in Bahrain, looking forward to it. Cavallino Rampante was the symbol I looked upon, now it’s a Malaysia flag.

Reached home four hours ago. Walk in see dad sleep in front of the monitor again. =.= The journey was okay, not too fast or too slow. Started journey after a lovely dinner with someone. T.T (I know the emo seems wrong here, but there's no typo.)

As usual, Ampang traffic a bit congested. Then the flow quite smooth from then on. I tried to maintain my speed at around 90-100kph but it makes me one of the slowest vehicle on the road. =.= Sometimes a little throttle speeds me up to 140kph. What happen to my snail-pace car? That speed brought some bad to me as I reached the toll plaza 17 minutes before the 20% discount period. WTF =.=

Then I drive through Melaka road as if I were in KL. No cars. Melaka road really no challenge, which is a good thing for me perhaps? Reached home at 12:09AM and this brings us back to daddy sleeping in front of the monitor. He woke up eventually and had some chat. ^^

After that, I went to the kitchen, to torture my little kitties having their good night sleep. ^^ So cute, missed them so much. But, unfortunately my brother tell me one gone missing. T.T If a cat went missing, most probably it's dead, either they run away to not let their owner see them die due to sickness, or as in my cat case, maybe being whacked. Pray for him to be with Almighty.

As for now, set up my computer for temporary usage. =.= Used home computer makes me want to slam the monitor. Luckily I brought back this cute computer from KL. Well, I don't know what time I be sleeping. But nothing write already for now. Maybe reality's boring and fantasy's soap opera, have more stuffs to write there.

Today is officially my last day as a TARCian in KL. My last day before I cross over the borders of reality and reason. I really feel very happy now, except that I will be driving tonight, which will be tiring. T.T

Last day here would be the same, online facing the monitor waiting for people to chat. And later, I will start to packed my stuff. LOL My stuff is extremely little, I think 30 minutes can clear all already.

One of the hardest feeling leaving here is leaving behind memories and possible chances, which don't have the passport to cross to reality world. Will miss them very much. Hopefully they can immigrate illegally. ^^

And I hope tonight will be a nice outing. I really wished for more, but this is the most I can get out of a magnificent person. Hopefully, things will go well in the future. If I'd agree to one-to-one outing, I am yet to give up. Before the verdict is laid down, we will still be friends, as requested. I hope to see more of you after tonight.

Waking up tomorrow morning in my little wooden house which I really missed. Seeing every member of my family together again after almost 9 months. ^^ I don't know if I had time to write more before CNY as I will chat, chat and chat with them all day long. So, an early Gongxi Valentine greetings here from me to you. Cheers ^^

It has been two weeks since exam ended, and I should be in Melaka by now. But here I am, still in KL, waiting. One of the longest waits in my life. Hopefully my prayers will be answered.

While waiting, what should I do? Constructing my blog is the main priority after the wait. Then there was the new year shopping, which I don't like at all.

As for all readers that visited my blog, you can see that the changes are drastic in my little space. Added various widget and functions, some for you guys and some for my convenience updating and controlling the blog. Many posts and musics had been posted too, sharing my thoughts and feelings. Would not be doing all this if I had gone back to Melaka. Maybe the wait is not a waste after all even if there is not date. T.T

Then, it was yesterday, where I go shopping for the first time in two years. Last year, I was spared doing CNY shopping due to exams in college. But, it was not the case for the current year. T.T Met up with friends and we go to Times Square. And WTF I drove there. It was a tiring experience driving in KL, strolling the mall for 6hours and drove back home. Missed a junction while driving back and we go round KL. =.=" But found the way home, and it may be a blessing in disguise and I may had just avoided the traffic jam during peak hour. ^^

Reaching home was a relieve. Having back pain the the 6 hour walk around Times Square and Sungei Wang. How can girls don't like going for a jog at botanical gardens but can go shopping almost everyday? It was more tiring that doing gym and participate in sports for the same amount of time. Now my legs are still aching after a good night sleep. Hopefully I will never ever go shopping again.

Okay, those stuff I had done was boring. All being done just to wait for a meeting with her. Hopefully I will get a positive reply soon, or I will go back Melaka losing a big gamble. But there were no regrets. ^^

Welcoming back my faithful readers! After a short but torturing break since my last blog, I think it's time for me to make a comeback! A leap forward, a new blog! Version 3!

As for the followers of my past blogs, I am truly grateful for your supports. The content you will read here might be similar to the last blog but I can assure you, this time will be better.

As for the title, I am still looking for a more suitable one than "Blog 1.0 version 3" or Blog-Love. Any suggestion please leave comment. ^^

Finally, thanks Nigel for the encouragement in renewing my blogging journey. Hopefully, this one will be a success, and I mean success in the search for love.
