Derk’s Blog

well…i really have to give some credit to jeng for this. it’s been such a long time since my last blog and my first blog in two months is this. haiyo…mana boleh macam itu. i’m already having a tough time dealing with my assignments and projects…infinite studies/work for my finite element, stressed out with prestress, professional practice project which is done in a non-professional way…kepala dah pecah. and the topic only limit me to 6 weird things. there’s more to 6 for me. so i think i just have to put aside those korek hidung, korek punggung, korek sini, korek sana stuff and list something that i never intend to reveal.

Aiks! nyaris forgot tim…the rules (wat the heck wit this rules, this is my blog and i have to follow some damn rules from some dunno-who-so-free-can-think-of this-chain-punya-siao-guy) for this is as follows:

THE RULES
1. Each player of this game starts off by giving 6 weird things about themselves.
2. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the stupid  rules clearly.
3. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.
4. After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and read your blog.

Okla…here goes…in no particular order as i dunno which makes me a weirdo more than the others.

Hate Leg Shaking
Lecturer: Any questions regarding the topic?
    (Just when I wanna raise my hand to ask some ques…my chair is shaking as if a     dinosaur is walking nearby. shake here and there. students’ ass should remain on the chair for the whole lecture and my ass is bumping up and down now. so damn ‘bik chick’ la u know? when i turn around to c wat’s happening, there’s this guy shaking his leg so fast it looks as if he’s masturbating. tak peduli la. wanna ask ques first…..)
Lecturer: No questions? Itu-lah pelajar UTM, tak suka tanya soalan.
    (And ppl always wonder y UTM ppl dun like to ask ques…)

Wash Feet
I dunno why i have this habit of washing my feet whenever i come back to my room/house. even when i just go out to take something from my car, i’ll walk straight to the bathroom and have water splash on my legs wit sabun and rub rub. tak tau kenapa la. i just felt uneasy with an unwash leg after coming back from the polluted environment. this one quite weird ho? i also dunno y…

Study while I S**t
I’m really good at this. When it’s around the exam corner, i can even take a book with me to the toilet when i wanna take a dump. Multi-tasking with my brain and my ass together…taking in knowledge and shitting out useless stuff. u know la..students dun have time to study, so have to ‘pang sai’ and study at the same time. but i can always find the time to play computer games even when exam is just a few hours away. Mayb the conclusion is tat i like to play computer games in my room, and study in the toilet. hahahaha

Sensitive to Dust
I’m tat kind of ppl who cant really get near any speck of dust. i’ll sneeze as if a whole lot of feathers are stuck up my nose. I’ll just sneeze and sneeze and have lots of fluid building up in my nostrils. really bad sensitive nose. but it’s a good excuse not to clean my room. :p

Fear of Roaches
I’m really afraid of roaches. those tat can fly especially. when i c cockroaches running around…the only thing i can think of is to run. but dunno y those darn cockroaches will follow me as if knowing my fear. Nowadays i’m trying to overcome it. I have an ever ready racun serangga in my room where i can spray on those hairy legged things. But if i have a choice,i still prefer running away. btw guys, dun think u can scared me with insects…coz i’m only afraid of roaches. damn those roaches..who roam the world before us.

Hate chaining mails/sms/letters
I dun like those emails tat ask me to chain it out to a few ppl or else something will happen me, to prove that i’m a friend, to show that i care. tiu…i dun give a damn la.waste my time click here and there to spam my friend’s email. and also those sms tat ask me to send it to 10 ppl or else my service provider will barred my line. and those letters that ppl throw into my letter box asking me to photostat a few copies and spread out to others so i can have a fortune like Bill Gates. Wah! Bill Gates get rich tat way? now come this chain blog…but it’s different. coz it can work my brain to blog again…

Ok la…i finish my task. the 6 ppl tat i would like to c them write something stupid is:
Dan- ZTan
Chew Chow
Sze Yuan
Valerie
Chen Boon
Liang Yin

Well…I came across this blog that sell interesting bear designs, So, in order not to keep good things all to myself, here it is.

B.for.Beads

They have different type of designs and if you’re handsome or pretty enough, I think they’ll personally customise one for you (that’s what i think) It’s quite interesting to find different colourful designs suited for the tall, short, big, small, round, flat, thin, fat, handsome, pretty and also those absolutely gorgeous people. Personally for me, I don’t wear earrings, but I’m sure they’ll look fantastic on my girlfriend. So guys, what are you waiting for? Buy a pair for your girlfriend, girl-friends, mum, grandma, great-grandma… I’m sure they’ll love it! What made these earrings different from those on the market? These are only on sale online. There wont be embarassment moments of wearing same earrings anymore!!! This is definitely worth it…

Oh! Another item that catches my attention are the VDay Bears! Wow! Very very creative. They are made from Swarovski crystals (frankly, I myself don’t know what is that. But it seems quite classy…and also glassy) It’s a must buy!!! Surprise your partner/mistress with this and you’ll never regret it. From the website, they mention that it can be hang on phones, as ornaments and pendants. But my say - put it on your girlfriends table/car. So whoever goes into her room, will know that she’s attached. Hahaha!!! Am I smart or what? Maybe someone should employ me as their marketing consultant. Anyway, I didn’t get any favours from Ms.Beads… And I really bought things from her. So, don’t worry about doing business transaction through the internet! Grab this chance and buy…buy and Buy!!!!

Currently in my final year now. i thought that I’ll be quite free compared to the last few years…But it doesn’t seems so now. It’s just the starting of a new semester and everyone is already busy with their final year project, application for jobs, assignments, etc. During this period, I’m glad that there are a few coursemates who are willing to share their time and knowledge to others.
    Sze Yuan with his idea of a trip for all final years is very well supported but doesn’t get the help he needs. Sometimes, it seems that he’s working alone for the bonding trip. I’m sure everyone will have fun and enjoy themselves during the trip, but most are not willing to spend time to offer help. I really hope that during the trip…all of us will grab hold of him and throw him in the air. Hopefully no one will get flatten..LOL
    With all my coursemates future career heading into the same direction, I always try to imagine will there be any arguments among us. But when i read daniel’s blog, it’s a great big surprise to see him informing everyone about Career Fair. Thanx mate! As human, most of us are selfish and will never share anything that will affect our own future. The pie is still big and I really hope all of us will get a great future career secured before our graduation. Good Luck everyone!

This post will not discuss about the much hyped rempits, mansions, angkasawan, or Kita Boleh attitude. 2006 will be over soon and all around the world, people will be celebrating 2007 together with the Johor people. Yeah! It’s my first time in these 5 years to actually enjoy Jan 1 as a public holiday. 2007…another 8 more years to WW3 (if wat the time traveller said is true). A sum up of 2006 news that interest me:

The above list is not in a particular order and I may miss out some major events as my brain does not function like the memory of a computer. Some news touched my heart, others made me sad, happy, frustrated, angry, etc. But 2006 is a great year! except for the part where my ABU is hit by an Iswara

    okok…i’l write this blog in a very cha pa lang way coz…i feel like doing so. this is my blog wert! very long didnt write blog d…and that day i keep on think think. wat shall i write leh ha? ah dan say can write anything u like. but leh…i also like to write bout things i dun like wo.

    and then ho…i also hav another thing to say bout one "i’m suka-ing it" fast food lo. this international fast food chain wit a be-lanch. i go makan makan…saw this very weird thing…

this wrong spelling…really very geng. this also can happen in a so big and well-known punya place. if kids go there and c it, then the parents sure lots of xplanation to do. coz the posters are all around the place. i already smeared the logo. coz afraid ISA ma. now not sure they still put it there or not. but for those wanna c, it’s at the ‘buy and go’ be-lanch in skudai near utm. :p

    ok la…another thing i also dun like..wah! leeli lots of thing i talak suka. haha…

this aunty leh…misuse the systems designed for ppl like lim peh who buy few things. when this aunty c low low belakang banyak orang, she then politely took her basket to the expless counter. so damn geng one. i think lots of ppl also encounter these aunties or mayb uncles b4. i ma stand there behind her keep #&*$%#@$&%. and then lots of ppl behind me also ‘Wah! Wuiyo! Wow! WiWit!’ point here point there. but being well-mannered Malaysians, we also tak tap her shoulder la. mana tau will she shout ‘kiong kan’ or not. siao! but the cashier knows we all olang belakang beh song d. so she just inform the aunt that she has to pay at other counters. then the aunty veli geng…she says,’ i ada banyak anak sini. satu orang 8 barang. ok?!!’. walao eh! like tat also can. really beh tahan.
    and then here…another thing. this 1 not dun like or like la. just something i nampak. very weird one. i go pump petrol at this very well-known petrol station tat will b going to supply petrol to Raikkonen. and then i saw this umbrella guy at the opposite station. he’s not helping ppl to pump petrol wo. he’s tarik-king customers. he stand there point point. keep asking ppl to go to his petrol station. wah! this marketing strategy…darn desperate. haha. if ppl c u so despelate, mana will go your station. today kira ok d coz only 1 guy. sometimes i nampak 3-4…wah! like mafia (coz taking umbrella to point at u n point at their station) very funny i c him walk here and there keep pointing cars. but the cars all going to the station i’m filling my petrol. mayb the new station should start to create some F1 petrol instead. lol

ok la..tat’s all..i dun wanna write much..coz too much to write (lame excuse) if wanna talk talk bout PELTAC. 2 years and 5 days experience wo..mana can write? siao!

        Many people often question me about my passion for football. Even my mum asked me why am I interested in it when no one else in the family is. Haha… I can’t even give an answer. Football is not a game where 22 grown-ups are chasing a ball. A lot of people will think that it’s stupid to watch people chasing one ball. But if you can prove to me that (even for a second) 22 of them are chasing it together, I will never ever watch football again. It’s a game of strategy, and…well…and it’s a game! Start to develope interest in football and Arsenal when I’m still in Primary 4. Supported the team since then and idolise Ian Wright with some friends who supported McManamann (ling), Ronaldo(keat meng), Beckham(dan). Even when Wrighty went to West Ham, my love is still with Arsenal…though I started to take notice on the Hammers. So guys, when Gunners are Hammered by a last minute goal, it didnt break my heart as much as you guys hope for. LOL…my love for football continues on with some crazy supporters now (coursemates).
       You may still be asking the question "Football, Huh?". Here goes the kick off…Arsenal with the ball accelerating to the front much faster than those Mat Rempits. Football doesn’t disturb the neighbourhood as much at Rempits do and it certainly will not make you fly thru the air when you hit a stone. Well…except for Robben (Chelsea) who will fall down with the slightest touch of an opposition. But for the majority of footballers, they’re certainly more skillfully fast than ‘brother Mats’. And the referee will certainly not ‘close one eye’ if there are dangerous play.  Players will get warning cards or are sent off if they dun play by the rules. So, Mr Jasin, why are lowly paid referees doing their job while highly paid people are to close ‘their eye’ on your advice?
        Even rich footballers build mansion, but they wont be that brainless to build it in a low cost area. What more by blaming their architect. I certainly dont mind footballers living in castles as they play a beautiful game which entertains people. But for those who only sit in their offices thinking of marrying 4 wifes, do you think you deserve a mansion? Another thing that I like about football is how new managers protect the integrity of those that they succeed. You’ll never hear Mourinho (even when he’s an @ss) complaining much bout Vialli, Benitez bout Houllier or Mclaren on Ericsson. Every manager has their own style of football. The criticism will only brings unrest to the spectators. That’s why I prefer to read the back pages of newspapers rather than the fronts.
        Oh…half time…time to order some snacks. Shall I eat pork? hmmm…too much news on beta-agonist these days. Shall I eat chicken? hmmm…bird flu, can’t be too safe. How bout teh tarik then? Contains caffeine too…By this time, the ‘Non Bangsa Malaysia’ waiter is starting to curse me for time wasting. Hey, ‘guy_who_cant_understand_English&Malay’, i guess you just understand Roti Prata, Roti Banana, Roti Rectangular eh?
        Second half gonna start soon…Arsenal with their fluent football as smooth as the streamyx line. Ops! They’re facing Everton who just defends for the whole 90 minutes. People will always enjoy Arsenal for their non-stop play but there will always be opposition waiting to stop them from their smooth play. It’s hard to find a way through and that is why I’m always signing in and out of MSN. The only time that I watch Arsenal playing defensively is during their trip to Villareal, but why are they being condemn when other teams are doing it every time? Mayb life is really unfair. They’ll find a chance to criticise those who are playing by the rules.
       Players and managers in EPL (English Premier League) are standing tough on their fight against racism these days. When you’re on the pitch, it doesn’t matter whether you’re black or you’re white, doesn’t matter whether you’re an English or you’re not. But somehow, people (especially Mr Pardew) will still criticise Arsenal on their lack of Englishmen. For me, if your vision is for a united team, what difference does it makes if there are only 18% or 45% Bumis….er…i mean English. The important thing is for a team to play well. If you’re not good, you cant play. As simple as that. Why the discrimination and quota stuff?
        Whoa!!! What a wonderful goal by AssAnal. Watching the great goal and the way they celebrate really pumps up my adrenalin. Those guys piling up on the goal scorer, patting his back, hugging him…Anyway, for me it’s only acceptable for guys to hug during some type of celebration. Not any other time such as holding hands while on a bike. So, please think twice before doing anything with your guy fren in public. It really strain people eyes…Haha…
        A football match is not just a match as it tells you more than that. Though I’m a fan of F1, i doubt that it will be as interesting as football. Even after the transformation of Iceman to Fireman…

I Love You…means that I accept you as the person that you are, and I don’t wish to change you to another person.

I Love You…means I am thinking and dreaming of you constantly, andhope that you feel the same for me.

I Love You…means I will shower you with all that I have, and overcomes all obstacles with you.

I Love You…means forever…

When dreams bring you happiness,
When dreams bring you tears,
When dreams bring you moments that will live on for years…
When dreams are simple,
When dreams make you giggle,
Dreams will go on till my love for you dwindle…
When dreams take away senses,
When dreams greet life with spices,
Dreams will be there within my heart spaces…

a bit karat d coz so long didnt think bout these kind of stuff…lol

Inspired by a friend…

Love,
It bridges borders,
It bridges distance,
It bridges colours,
It bridges difference,
It bridges humans,
It bridges relations,
It bridges arguments,
It bridges disagreements,
But most importantly…
It bridges US !

Love is so interesting…it’s not just about a young couple’s infatuation. It’s bout loving your religion, your parents, your neighbours…and even strangers. Life is so interesting with love! =)
