For book lovers like me, a secondhand bookstore is like a treasure trove, full of surprises whereby you will not know what books you may find and also what unique contents that are in those books that were sold off (Example: special messages and notes).</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">So, last Saturday, I took the chance of visiting one secondhand bookstore in Chowrasta market as I was nearby the area. There were so many books, I did not really have the time to look through every single one of them. There were old and new books lying everywhere. The "old" books weren't so old and they were still in good condition. I saw books by Cecelia Ahern, Stephen King, Dan Brown, Jodi Picoult and so many other fictional novel authors that I loved so much.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, after searching for roughly 45 minutes, I ended up with these two books, Stephen King's Cujo and Dorothy Koomson's The Chocolate Run.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk-75ckexTqKO6Vqj-14Sw-TZk0mZ4u9IVyZodpqwsCOSM8WvlsqmjygxTVwZKQtj18jSH4FOczxejVIgm3At5CvNNkCqiVntuOctmsrEC5wcsCl2S0KygE3Lh-fL2VgFfoRCokBnHqg4/s1600/DSC02047.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk-75ckexTqKO6Vqj-14Sw-TZk0mZ4u9IVyZodpqwsCOSM8WvlsqmjygxTVwZKQtj18jSH4FOczxejVIgm3At5CvNNkCqiVntuOctmsrEC5wcsCl2S0KygE3Lh-fL2VgFfoRCokBnHqg4/s320/DSC02047.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
It was a steal!! Two books for the price of RM28 and they were in good condition. After I am done with them, I plan to go back for a second bargain. This time I am aiming for Dan Brown's Digital Fortress.

This is simply called the law of attraction.<br />
The more you think of it, the less focus you are of the task at hand and this will cause that fear will show itself.<br />
That is why Buddhism teaches us never to envy but be happy for others. Not to compare but be grateful.<br />
<br />
So? Be good and do your work in the best way possible. After all, the only record you need to beat, is your own. ^^winzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06123894864049500342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387145984615825338.post-47663512163617660462010-04-14T18:28:00.004+08:002010-04-14T18:35:50.732+08:00I will miss all of it... I know I will...<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">I love those moments where you have the time to reflect on life. Yes.. my life has always been busy or I made it to be busy because I like it that way. I feel alive when I complete a task, be it a small one or a big one. This is one of those rare times where I have the chance to blog when I actually have the mood to. Sitting here alone with a great view in front of me, I reflected back through the last three years of my life.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have a month left of my university life before I graduate into the working world. I am excited to work as I have many plans to carry out but in a way, I have a feeling that I would miss my university life. My university life did not start off as easily compared to other newbies like me. I had trouble fitting in due to some language barriers but I managed to pull through. Its all thanks to the support given to me by the people around me. The main support given were from 3 important individuals in my life (Mom , Sis and Jian). They made me fight for what I believe in and also for what I want. Without them, things wont even be as they are now.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Plenty of thanks to Ming Ming, whose support and hugs can be felt all the way from Malacca! Who could forget my Garfield-loving otaku friend,Keng Yee, who had accompanied me through the 17 years of my life and is now complaining she sees me too much. ^^ I could not be more grateful to have the opportunity to meet these two happy-go-lucky people, Sok Li and Ah Howe, who made me realized that life is meant to be enjoyed. You could never see a frown on their faces and they are often contented with what they have. Not to mention my techie friends, Frankie (the gummy bear crazed guy), PM (monkey + stuffed stuff + DSLR crazed gal) and McKhor (Haha.. I still can't be sure what he is crazy bout'). I'll always remember all the "sampat" things we do. There are many cherished memories... Memories I hope I will never forget.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I felt that with these people around me and the opportunities I took to learn, I managed to become more mature over these years. I am happier, much more responsible, more knowledgeable and I know what I want in life. The best part of all of these is that I can now managed to see things in a bigger picture and much more optimistic view.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was not the only one who changed through these years. I had the chance to see others grow as well. There where those who came out stronger from all the challenges, more cheerful when facing difficulties and in the end , becoming a better person. Seeing these changes in those surrounding me, I managed to convince myself that people can change for the better if they are given the change along with a helping hand. Despite of some of the hardships I have been through, I am glad and I do not think I would change anything. I won't change the friends I have, the lesson I have learnt and most of all, I won't trade my experiences in this university. They helped made me who I am today.</div>winzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06123894864049500342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387145984615825338.post-12894183689767199522010-01-27T11:46:00.004+08:002010-01-27T11:51:53.041+08:00Sunrise and Sunset<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

They requested the leaves to gather as much dew as possible and pass it to them before the tree starts to die. There were only a few days left before water runs out. The leaves didn't fully comprehend and just nodded their agreement. When they ran out of water and started to wilt, they blame the roots. In the end, the tree died.<br /><br />Why? Cos no one bothered to listen to the roots.<br /><br />What is the optimistic point of view of this?

WEB DESIGN!!<br /><br />Ever since I have been introduced to PHP and css by my mentor, I have been searching around the WWW for interesting blogs, blogs with designs that blow my mind away and also blogs that teach me more about web designs and layouts. Here are a few websites that I find interesting and is worth the time to check out... You can click on the pictures to go to the websites. These are the websites you would not want to miss...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A List Apart</span><br />This website gives you the information you'll need to learn and explore explores the design, development, and meaning of web content.

Those whom I thought to be, are not what they appear to be at all. Maybe I am a bad judge of character. I always feel that there are some good in everyone (no matter how many times that person has done something bad to me) and I feel that everyone deserve to have second chances. There are some who told me that I am not living in the real world just because they think that humans cannot be trusted. Well, these people should know better. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">I admit that even if that someone has the utmost confidence and also the world's knowledge in their hands, they are no better a human if they cannot be good to others, have compassion and be honest to themselves. There are many people you can meet in this world, various characters that could paint a rainbow in your life or continuously cause incessant rain.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">I just know everyone has some good in them, but maybe they do not choose to show it. </span>winzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06123894864049500342noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387145984615825338.post-55257597162705774482009-04-27T00:45:00.002+08:002009-04-27T01:23:08.376+08:00If only...Have you ever been in a situation where you wake up in the morning, see the beautiful view outside the window, felt glad that it was a new and sunny day and suddenly, BAM!<br /><br />You remember back all the things that need to be done, wondered how it felt like if things were different and just wish that you could turn back time?<br />There are times where I wondered how things would be like if I had taken a different choice?<br /><br />Will I still study so hard if I was not in uni?<br />Would things be better if I were studying overseas?<br />Would things be better if I did not think so much?<br />Would life be easier if I was a bit less giving?<br />Would life be easier if I gave more?<br />If I did not do "this" or "that", would things be better?<br />If I did not do some of the things I did.....<br />If only I knew...<br /><br />But living in the present is all I have.

Please stop playing..Lately I feel like I have been played around. Not by people but by chance/fate/ destiny( as Sing Chow calls it) He said, "Go with the flow".<br /><br />For the past two days, I asked myself ---> S or M?<br /><br />One offers such a good opportunity, an opportunity that only a fool would turn down.<br /><br />Chance played with me. S called and said," We are sorry to inform you this but, due to the economy crisis both IT projects had to be cancelled. Therefore, we could not take you as an intern. I am very sorry. I had even prepared the documents thinking it was going to be successful. Sorry again. Thank you". That was the end of the conversation with S.<br /><br />See how chance played with me? I was offered. Then it was all due to luck that I could not have it. Well.. guess now everything will go as usual. No one will complain, everyone will be happy and I will just do my best at M. It is internship afterall. Now no one can say I am selfish for going to Miri since I am no longer going.<br /><br />On the plus side, at least I knew that I was good enough for S.<br /><br />= Maybe fate had something better in store for me... hopefully....=)winzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06123894864049500342noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387145984615825338.post-72790340460007851322009-03-06T16:38:00.003+08:002010-01-24T11:19:11.665+08:00What do you do when someone thinks you're not good enough?<br />Willingness to try and work hard does not seem to matter.

She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend, who was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend. One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. She could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, “Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?” </p> <p align="justify">The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying - “Just take care of my eyes dear.”</p><br /><p align="justify">~~so touching~~<br /></p>winzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06123894864049500342noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387145984615825338.post-88291499422314001022009-01-24T23:50:00.003+08:002009-01-25T00:25:04.514+08:00CNY is around the corner....It is finally the holidays for this year's Chinese New Year celebrations. I just came back yesterday after weeks of assignments and work. Even though I did not really have the New Year mood, I still felt many of my friends who did. I attempted to make myself catch the CNY bug, but kind of failed to do so.. However, I did change my blog's header in order to brighten things up. =P<br /><br />Usually during CNY week, I will be the one decorating the house. However this year,I did not decorate so much. But I do hope that this year would be a joyful year for my family and I.<br /><br />Even though I hoped it would be joyful but I have to admit that this year, CNY celebrations would be very different for me. There will not be any relatives visiting, no friends coming by and no nice family reunion dinner. Yes.. indeed it is very different to what I was accustomed to but times change and I have to accept the fact.<br />Therefore, this CNY I will be going to visit my aunt and also a few friends, come back and work( i know that is lame) and maybe just enjoy the holidays. I hardly bought any new clothes but the good news is that I have finally bought a new pair of shoes. Its pink.. and if I had a camera, I would have taken pictures of it and posted it here. (too bad...)<br /><br />Anyway, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to everyone. May this year be filled with joy, happiness, love and plenty of opportunities for all.winzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06123894864049500342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387145984615825338.post-9428544559691874422009-01-21T16:39:00.003+08:002009-01-21T16:42:57.010+08:00So what?!Ya so what if I am fat.. too bad...<br />I am dark...

Things had changed. I went for Faci workshop camp and ended up having a rough time there. However, I did learn how to judge people. There are some who just simply talk and talk.. so its " yap, yap yap.." but can never walk the talk. Then there are those who ernestly wants to help. Thank goodness there are still people like this in the world. As for the "yappies", I will just tune out the next time I see one.<br />I had my ups and downs throughout the weeks and I have to admit that I saw these challenges coming. Nothing much I could do but toil through the semester.<br /><br />Here are a few comments I have on the activties I have been doing since the semester started.<br /><br />Dhamma Sharing Group (DSG)<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I have been officially " promoted" to be the facilitator of the Persatuan Pelajar Buddhist' facilitator( regardless of the fact that I have not completed the faci workshop). The first two classes I have conducted with Mei Chen and Alex went alright but it was the planning phase that really is quite troublesome. I believe punctuality and the intention to try and understand each other is crucial to enable a smoother planning phase.</span><br /><br />CS BBQ<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Three words: sand in food.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">But I admit that it was quite fun and I learnt a few things during the execution of this event. </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Basically everyone thinks differently.. and I also learnt that Ah Howe can really start a good fire.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">p.s: I caught the MOON!!!! PM helped me catch it..lol (i"ll upload the pic next time)</span><br /><br />Faci Workshop camp<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Everything in Mandarin( help!!). My brain can relate to a fried processor during the camp. Somewhat I wanted to hang my processor but I could not. Bottomline is that I prefer to learn the Dhamma in English.</span><br /><br />Those were the stuff I have been busy doing for the past 3 weeks.... sobz... I am desperately in need of a new pair of sneakers and even that I have difficulty finding a pair. >.<winzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06123894864049500342noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387145984615825338.post-26548856245204190682008-12-27T13:33:00.003+08:002008-12-27T13:44:25.355+08:00week 1 ... conquered!Finally, the first week of the semester 2 is over. My,my.. was I busy! I had lot to do, meetings to attend. Not to mention that the courses I am taking this year could be considered "Killer" courses.<br />Lets have a full list of them.<br /><br />1. Chinese Level 2<br />2. Spoken English<br />3. Parallel programming<br />4. Grid computing<br />5. Entreprenuership course (WUS101)<br />6. Algorithm system and design<br />7. System analysis and design<br /><br />No. 3,4,6 and 7 can be considered "killer"courses. Anyway, it is another challenge. I always feel tired when it is the beginning of the semester because there is so many things that you need to do and plan. So far, so good. I am still getting through. Plus I have a 5 day break before continuing to the second week.<br />I have a lot coming at me next week such as a conference, a camp and a new DSG( Dhamma Sharing Group) class to facilitate. Study wise, I have 2 assignment to be done.<br /><br />ah... life of a USM computer science student...winzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06123894864049500342noreply@blogger.com0
