Hi there. My name is Chew Pin Li, aka New Boy. I'm 20 years of age, 6 feet tall, and basically, I'm a student here at UTAR, Kampar. =)
I've been here, since a year ago, a new entrant. I used to live in Negeri Sembilan, but after the solar storm... many of us either have no parents or we live by ourselves. Naturally, UTAR, being a University, still offers to take us in and give us food, a place to stay and keep us warm. So many of us flocked here.
It was a crazy sight, you know... seeing your own hometown burn to the ground in front of your eyes, people you love dissapearing before you. We lost many family members that night, when the solar storm hit. I was lucky. I hid myself in the refrigerator that night, so I managed to get up unscatch. But the rest of my family... were nowhere to be seen. I cried for many nights.
So yeah. That's just how it is. We are the last survivors of the blast, and many of us flocked to UTAR, hoping to start a new life here. I won't call myself a really enthusiastic 'student', but nontheless, I don't mind reading a book or two if it means I have a guaranteed life here.
When I first arrived here, I knew I fell in love with this place. It was like a paradise, fresh grown flowers by a massive lake, waterfalls and high-rise buildings. It was indeed one of the last remaining cities in the world. Upon arrival, I was given clothes, food, and a place to stay. For the first time in months, I finally felt safe.
But that was all just temporary. In the midst of chaos, there were many students who demanded power, bullies who wanted more of thier share of food and shelter. Many of these people formed gangs and began to steal, rob and threaten our way of life. We were forced to fight our way to survive. But who could blame them? What would you do if the world came to an end, and you were the last remainig people on earth?
The University was a great place. It gave us an opportunity to foget our terrible experiences, all that pain and misery, and gave us a place where we can learn, and try out new things. We were all happy, as long as we were in the University.
I was a new entrant then, 20 years of age. I registered myself as a student of Finance, as I tot it would benefit me if I were to start a new life. That was when I met them. All 20 of them. Smiling, happy little brats that became my frens. We were known as FETG1, the first class. I never got to know most of them, though. There was Li Ting, the strange little girl with smiling eyes that always tot she was a vampire pig. There was Wen Shing, a great cook and a great actor. Apparently both of them already met on the way to the Uni. Here, we have a rule. We don't talk about our past, unless we want to. Eveyone had a hard time before they got here. We were all survivors, so we don't ask questions, until you want to talk. Li Ting and Wen Shing were the first 2 people who talked. ANd with that, I knew I would give my life to them, in everyway. They were like family to me.
However, one night, everything changed. I was into my 3rd day of Uni, when at night, a large metoer tore down from the sky, and crashed into the Westlake. A huge wave of light blinded us, and the noise of the crash was defeaning. Ultimately, many of us passed out in the incident. When we awoke, nothing was the same again. The once paradise for us, now lay in broken shards and pieces. I fell on my knees and asked god that night. Why? Why did he have to take my life away, right after he took the lives of my family? Why did such pain have to happen one more time?
Surprisingly, no one was hurt after that incident. Authorities from the Uni came in to sweep the area, and found nothing more than a large crater near the lake, where the metoer must have landed. Strange as it seemed, but apart from the buildings, the infrasturcture and the city, us students were not hurt at all. It was like god giving us not one, but two chances again. But the relief was long lived. Nicole, a 2nd year student from Architeture, one day, in the middle of the class, did something unimaginable. She was taking down measurements with her classmates in a temporaray education hall after the incident, suddenly burst into flames. She was screaming and turning and failing her arms. Everyone in the room was dumstruck. They tried everything, pouring water on her, using sand. But nothing worked. Ultimately,she died, her charred body left in the middle of the classroom. The tutor ran out for help, and many of the students wept and cried. But amazingly, something happened. In an instant, her charred body, began to reform, muscle by muscle, skin by skin, until finally, she suddenly drew breath, and continued screaming again. She stoppped for a while, and looked around her. Everyone was looking at her, petrified. Even she couldn't believe what happened.
More incidents happened after that. There was a boy in Marketing that could suddenly do backflips, and was so nimble he could jump to the roof in one movement. There was a man down at 4th year of PR who could slice tomatoes with his bare hands. There was a girl in Accouting that could suddenly changed the colour of her skin at will. But all this was nothing comapred to what happened to Li Ting and me that night.
As usual, we had our dinner meeting at the usual Little Kitchen Restaurant, in the nearby town. We were busy discussing the wierd events that were happening lately, when suddenly, the air bgan to grow heavy and stale. We felt numb, like we could'nt move. My vision began to go blurr, and I could barely make out the image of the man that entered the restaurant. I knew that man. We were in the same faculty, but he was in FETG2. His name was Micheal or Mitchel or something, a smart fellow . But there was something wierd about him. He stood there, at the door way, but around him, I could suddenly see, for a split second, a little shadow above him. I tot I jsut saw a ghost. But what was more worrying, was the sudden feeling of numbness his presence gave all of us, like we were being pressed downwards. Suddenly, he dashed forward. I know it was a dash, because he was at the door way one moment, but the next he was already at the counter. What he did next left me dumbfounded. He looked at the guy at the counter, who was equally numb, as I could see he could not move. Micheal or Mitchel or whatever, I'll just call him M, just walked up to the counter, opened the register, and took out all the cash. He then walked out, or I should say, dashed out, of the restaurant.
That instant, my senses came back to me. I couldn't feel the same numbness in the air anymore, like it was lifted. I shook my head, and look around me.
'You ok?' Li TIng asked, looking at me.
'Yea... how bout you? You ok?'
'What do you mean? I'm fine. You suddenly just slumped down on the table and closed ur eyes so tightly, I tot you were in pain.'
'What....'
I looked around me. Everyone was, indeed continuing thier meal, just like before.
'You mean... you didn't see that man?'
Li TIng looked at me, her head tilting to one side. 'What man?'
A cold drop of sweat formed on my forehead. 'That man. He just, walked into the restaurant and grabbed the money on the counter.'
Li Ting, still looking at me, laughed. 'You're silly. I didn;t see anyone. You must be seeing things!'
I still couldnt belive. I swore I could see it. Just then, the guy at the counter shouted 'Hey! WHeres all the money in the register?'
There was a loud commotion, the staff coming out and finding the register open, its contents gone. The counter guy just shook his head.
I looked at Li Ting. 'I told you.' Her smiled before vanished. 'How'd you know...'
'I told you.. I saw him! There was a man... He just walked in and...'
It was then that I saw him. The same man, the same strange figure, walking past the windows outside the resturant. Something tells me it was not right, something tells me its was all wrong.
I told Li Ting to stay where she was, that I would only be gone for a second, and left the restaurant. I ran out into the crowd of people outside the restaurant, and tried to look for him. I took a left turn, down the street, into the road near Maybank and the PurpleCane cafe. There, near the junction of the Grand Kampar hotel, I saw him. Quitely, I follwed him, as he walked near the Hotel and into the backalley.
I tailed him, careful not to make any noise. I follwed his shadow as he made his way into the backalley. It was dark, and the smell of sewage was strong. He walked all the way to the parking lot, near the MaxBreak pool centre, and then, he stopped. Quickly, sensing he must have sensed someone following him, I hid behind one of the walls.
'Hmph... so you can see me?'
My eyes grew wide. I couldn't believe it. What did he mean?
'Hmph... Just when I tot I had this all figured out.' I could make out what he did, but for a spit second, I must have heard him jump.
'You really can see me, can't you?'
I froze. There, above the wall that I was hiding, was M. I looked up. How... The wall was almost 3 metres high. There was noway he could climb up there in such a short period of time. In the darkness of the night, with only a street lamp behind him, I can make out only his shadow. He was tall, no doubt, and had his hands in his pocket. His coat was collared, and it flickered a little in the wind.
'What... what do you want?' I aksed. This is all too wierd. Maybe I was seeing a ghost, amybe this was all not real.
In an instant, the figure dissapeared again. Impossible, I tot. This doesn;t make sense. How can he appear and dissapear as he wishes just like tat. I felt afraid, scared. I must have seen a spirit, or a ghost. There must be somthing evil here. I told myself to run.
Just as I turn around, there, right in fron of me, was the figure again. I froze, cold sweat now pouring out of my forehead. I was shaking.
'Hmph... To be able to see me... You must be a user too.'
User? What was he talkin about. 'I.. I have no idea what you are talking about. Please, let me go, I havent done anything to ofend you, I promise I'll burn you some paper money and josticks, leave me alone, please...'
The figure, suddenly let out a laugh. 'Gahahahaha!!' It was a laugh, though eerie, but it, for some reason, made me feel like this was not a ghost afterall.
'You're new here, aren't you.... For starters, I'm not a freakin ghost, if thats what you think I am.'
I looked at the man. The fear I had earlier of meeting supoernatural beings and being haunted felt distant.
'And to be able to sense and even see me... Heh... you must be one heck of a user.'
'Look... if you're not a ghost, then what the hell are you? I saw you back there! I saw you just walk up to the counter and steal that money!' I've always been a righteous person. My dad tot me that. He always said that lying, cheating and stealing from others was wrong, and I stuck to that, after his death ten years ago. I've never lied, cheated or stole from anyone, and I'll definately not let someone just walk away like tat.
'Oh? So you did see me... Just when I tot it was goin to be easy...'
'Give it back.'
'What?'
I looked at at him. 'I said... give it BACK!'
The figure now stood there, silent. Then, he walked towards me. I felt an instant danger, and backed up against the wall. Before me, as the figure came into the light under the streetlamp, I could make out his features. Indeed, he was M, the same guy from FETG2 that I've met before.
He stood there, and for the first time, I could see his eyes. Those blood thirsty, red eyes that glowed in the darkness. 'You... want me to do what?'
I fringed. He's no ghost. He's just a thief, a crook. I felt the anger burning inside me. Physically, I'm not born to fight, but I was not born to run away either.
'I want you... to give back the money you stole. Right now.'
Both of us stood there. I didn't feel the fear before. Instead, it was replaced by my own sense of justice, the jsutice I knew I had to use to put justice back to our already torn world. This was not a matter of fame or self sustainment, it was my principal.
'And how about if I said no?'
'Then I'll make you!' I ran towards him, raising my fists. 'Aaaaahhhh!!!!' I reached him, but just before my fist could touch him, he dissapeared. I froze in midair, the force of my punch pulling me downward. I had no time to recover my balance, before I felt a presence behind me.
'Too slow.' With one heavy blow, he knocked me on my back. I fell over, tumbling to the ground. 'Gahhh!!!'
Slowly, I got up on my feet again, and turned to face him. He just stood there, nonchalantly, as though mocking me. This time, he was standing the in the full glow of the streetlight, and I could see him completely. But it was this completeness that sent a shiver down my spine. Because for a moment, I tot he was human. For a moment, I tot that all logic in this world could be explianed. But I was not prepared, for standing before me, was not a human man alone, but one his shoulder, was an extremely bright, glowing light - a small little creature with the head of a fox and the body of an ox, holding an axe.
I've been here, since a year ago, a new entrant. I used to live in Negeri Sembilan, but after the solar storm... many of us either have no parents or we live by ourselves.

He looked out the window that night. The usual breeze coming into the room has not been the same recently. He felt it, the change in the wind.
Outside, the moon's white eerie glare beckoned him to leave the room. He grabbed the keys laying at the side of the desk, put on his coat, and left the room of 1394, Westlake Homes. Tonight... It was going to happen.. tonight.

I'm finally writing another story again, for this class obviously. I've been given feedback that hte last story was too long and too overwritten, so I'm going to tone it down a lot, and use simpler sentences. Hope you all enjoy.

The silence of the night surrounded him. He closed his eyes. Things were never like this a year ago, when he just got here. They said, this place was a paradise. They said, this place as the best university in the country. But they didn't say.... it was going to be like this. He clenched his fists tighter, walking slowly past the corridors of the other Westlake homes, its shadows beeming over him like he was about to be swallowed.
He walked on, past the bas station, past Uncle Jason's grocery store, and nearing the Westlake gates. It was at the junction, that he stopped.
He stopped. A lonely silence sweping over him.
'I've been waiting for you.' a voice behind him said.
****************************************************************************
2079, UTAR. Known as the best University in the country, the combination of quality education and a scenery like no other drew the entrance of tens of thousands of students to the desolate place called Kampar. In a mere 50 years, the small, quiet state boomed into a super metropolis, a large, unstability developed city that catered for the needs of the students in every way - food, lodging, mail, survival, weapons and many many more. Yes... weapons. The world has shifted in 2079, no longer the universal peaceful society known to many. Years ago, a solar storm hit the earth, killing almost 2/3 of the population on earth. Few cities remained intact, and its citizens were the only survivors of the catastrophy. Kampar was one of these cities. It took 50 years, for the survivors to rebuild the city into what it was. But in the process, the power, greed and lust for superiority and power let to massive fights between the students, which were the last remains of humanity. Until one night, a fallen star fell into the earth near the lake, known as Westlake, and everything changed. In one night, some of the residents, mostly students suddenly gained unimaginable powers. Some called it god's intervention, His last message to the people of the world to fight. These powers came in the form of what will be known, as 'Personas'.
Instantly, those who understood the powers began to gain vast authority, ultimately breaking up the entire city into many factors, or guilds. In Kampar, if you wanted to survive, you needed to be protected, and as such, you needed to be in a guild.
However, guilds did not come easily. Many who owned 'powers' were greedy people, people who preferred to use this power to gain profit and wealth. So in order to join a guild, you had to sell them your soul. This means, you had to give them your name, your life, and your everything. Sad as it sounds, many students had no or little choice. Either they get swallowed by the cruelty of society, or they had to sell themselves like slaves. However, a small group of students with powers defied the entire movement. These people still believed that there is good in society, and that they should remain intact, abide by laws and religion. These people, were known, as The Light. The first guild in Kampar, where entrance was free, that its inhabitants were protected, and thier mission, was to go all out to save the soul of the students. The other guild leaders were of course, furious, and thus began a war between the good and the evil.
Like a twist of fate, students with Personas have different abilities, depending on the 'soul' of the student. A student with courage and will, will probably have a persona that symbolises such courage. However, how much power a student has is limited only to his will and his heart. In 2079, which is the centre of our story, there are 7 large main guilds. These guilds are known as the High 7, 7 guilds that possess the highest and most powerful Persona users. Among them are 2 guilds, one known as The Light, and the other The Fallen; that are the most powerful guilds to date. Legend has it, that the Guildmaster of The Light, has the ability to shift in and out of reality, heal any wound, and sustain any amounts of physical damage. The guildmaster was rarely seen, but in the middle of the night, in a dangerous world such as this, when students needed help the most, she will appear, like a guardian angel. Many students believe in her, and because of her, justice and good still exists. The Fallen's guildmaster is a totally different story. Long ago cast away from society as the weakest students, the fallen star gave one person a totally different ability - the ability of hate. legend has it, that when the guildmaster of The Fallen is angry, the sky splits open and the ground shakes. Also, when he is angered, no one survives to tell the tale.
In every guild, there is a ranking system. The weakest students, were students with no Persona abilities. These were known as 'Lyonas', or lowest classes. They served the higher ranks, and most lived in poverty and fear.
Next, slightly above the Lyonas, were the more enriched Persona users. They had little ability, so are known as 'Demi-Sprites'. Many of these students were either affected by the fallen star's blast, or by the remaining shards and fragments that scattered across the city.
Then comes the top ranks. In a guild there is, of course, the guildmaster, the vice guildmaster, and then the guild is split into many captains, who report directly under the vice guildmaster. Any student with the rank of Captain and above, posses immense Personas. Many have the ability to move mountains and destroy buildings with the click of the finger. many of these students have direct contact with the fallen star. Below the captains are then the leutanents, and after that the seats of power. The seats of power are basically the hierachy used in a guild to show who is next in line to be the next leuntenant or captain. Being the 6th seat, meant that you were the 5th candidate to take the place of the captain, in case the captain steps down. Many students fight to gain the positions and seats, as it not only gave them power, but also the sense of security they need to suvive in such a rough environment.
Back to Personas. Personas can come in many different forms, as mentioned earlier. Some can come in the form of loved ones, animals, gods, demons, ghosts and many many more. The Personas themselves too, have ranks. The Chief is the most powerful of Personas, and yes, most Chief Personas are held by the Guildmasters, giving them immense power. Below the chiefs is a system known as 2357. It means 20 Gods, 300 Vespers, 500 Hollows and 7000 Beasts. Beast personas are the most common, and have common fighting abilites. This power increases as they move up the ladder. However, the difference between the human studetns and Personas, is that a student can never increase the power he or she has, and will remain in thier human shell until they die. But Personas... can evolve. They can be trained, gain experience, and ultimately rise in rank and power. This means that although the students are borned with little or no powers, but as long as they have Personas, they have the ability to increase thier Persona's powers and become more powerful as well. Knowing your Persona is the hardest part. Many have Personas, but the key is knowing how to use your Persona well. A bond is formed between a human student and a Persona as soon as the Persona answers you with its name. From that moment on, it will serve you, fight for you, and keep you safe.

Outside, the moon's white eerie glare beckoned him to leave the room. He grabbed the keys laying at the side of the desk, put on his coat, and left the room of 1394, Westlake Homes. Tonight... It was going to happen.. tonight.
*********************************************************************************
I'm finally writing another story again, for this class obviously. I've been given feedback that hte last story was too long and too overwritten, so I'm going to tone it down a lot, and use simpler sentences. Hope you all enjoy.
*********************************************************************************
The silence of the night surrounded him. He closed his eyes. Things were never like this a year ago, when he just got here. They said, this place was a paradise. They said, this place as the best university in the country. But they didn't say.... it was going to be like this. He clenched his fists tighter, walking slowly past the corridors of the other Westlake homes, its shadows beeming over him like he was about to be swallowed.
He walked on, past the bas station, past Uncle Jason's grocery store, and nearing the Westlake gates. It was at the junction, that he stopped.
He stopped. A lonely silence sweping over him.
'I've been waiting for you.' a voice behind him said.
****************************************************************************
2079, UTAR. Known as the best University in the country, the combination of quality education and a scenery like no other drew the entrance of tens of thousands of students to the desolate place called Kampar. In a mere 50 years, the small, quiet state boomed into a super metropolis, a large, unstability developed city that catered for the needs of the students in every way - food, lodging, mail, survival, weapons and many many more. Yes... weapons. The world has shifted in 2079, no longer the universal peaceful society known to many. Years ago, a solar storm hit the earth, killing almost 2/3 of the population on earth. Few cities remained intact, and its citizens were the only survivors of the catastrophy. Kampar was one of these cities. It took 50 years, for the survivors to rebuild the city into what it was. But in the process, the power, greed and lust for superiority and power let to massive fights between the students, which were the last remains of humanity. Until one night, a fallen star fell into the earth near the lake, known as Westlake, and everything changed. In one night, some of the residents, mostly students suddenly gained unimaginable powers. Some called it god's intervention, His last message to the people of the world to fight. These powers came in the form of what will be known, as 'Personas'.
Instantly, those who understood the powers began to gain vast authority, ultimately breaking up the entire city into many factors, or guilds. In Kampar, if you wanted to survive, you needed to be protected, and as such, you needed to be in a guild.
However, guilds did not come easily. Many who owned 'powers' were greedy people, people who preferred to use this power to gain profit and wealth. So in order to join a guild, you had to sell them your soul. This means, you had to give them your name, your life, and your everything. Sad as it sounds, many students had no or little choice. Either they get swallowed by the cruelty of society, or they had to sell themselves like slaves. However, a small group of students with powers defied the entire movement. These people still believed that there is good in society, and that they should remain intact, abide by laws and religion. These people, were known, as The Light. The first guild in Kampar, where entrance was free, that its inhabitants were protected, and thier mission, was to go all out to save the soul of the students. The other guild leaders were of course, furious, and thus began a war between the good and the evil.
Like a twist of fate, students with Personas have different abilities, depending on the 'soul' of the student. A student with courage and will, will probably have a persona that symbolises such courage. However, how much power a student has is limited only to his will and his heart. In 2079, which is the centre of our story, there are 7 large main guilds. These guilds are known as the High 7, 7 guilds that possess the highest and most powerful Persona users. Among them are 2 guilds, one known as The Light, and the other The Fallen; that are the most powerful guilds to date. Legend has it, that the Guildmaster of The Light, has the ability to shift in and out of reality, heal any wound, and sustain any amounts of physical damage. The guildmaster was rarely seen, but in the middle of the night, in a dangerous world such as this, when students needed help the most, she will appear, like a guardian angel. Many students believe in her, and because of her, justice and good still exists. The Fallen's guildmaster is a totally different story. Long ago cast away from society as the weakest students, the fallen star gave one person a totally different ability - the ability of hate. legend has it, that when the guildmaster of The Fallen is angry, the sky splits open and the ground shakes. Also, when he is angered, no one survives to tell the tale.
In every guild, there is a ranking system. The weakest students, were students with no Persona abilities. These were known as 'Lyonas', or lowest classes. They served the higher ranks, and most lived in poverty and fear.
Next, slightly above the Lyonas, were the more enriched Persona users. They had little ability, so are known as 'Demi-Sprites'. Many of these students were either affected by the fallen star's blast, or by the remaining shards and fragments that scattered across the city.

一是发达国家经济增长乏力，今年第三季度发达经济体的复苏主要是靠政府拉动，
内生动力不足；
二是银行破产增加，截至１１ 月美国破产银行总数已经升至１２３家；
三是政府负债过大，截至９月份，全球各国政府的负债总额已经突破３５万亿美元；
四是贸易保护日益激烈；
五是能源价格 进入１０月份后又出现震荡；
六是粮食问题加重；
七是失业率居高不下，美国１０月份失业率升至１０．２％，欧元区９月份则达到９．７％；
八是产能过剩依然突 出，美国１０月份制造业产能利用率为７０．７％；
九是提振消费依然困难，无论是美国消费者信心指数还是欧盟的商品零售额都在下降；
十是创新的风险依然存 在。

“泡沫经济：虚拟资本过度增长与相关交易持续膨胀日益脱离实物资本的增长和
实业部门的成长，金融证券、地产价格飞涨，投机交易极为活跃的经济现象。
泡沫经济寓于金融投机，造成社会经济的虚假繁荣，最后必定泡沫破灭，导
致社会震荡，甚至经济崩溃。”从这个定义中，我们可以看出：
泡沫经济主要是指虚拟资本过度增长而言的。
所谓虚拟资本，是指以有价证券的形式存在，并能给持有者带来一定收入的资本，
如企业股票或国家发行的债券等。虚拟资本有相当大的经济泡沫，
虚拟资本的过度增长和相关交易持续膨胀，与实际资本脱离越来越远，
形成泡沫经济。泡沫经济寓于金融投机。正常情况下，
资金的运动应当反映实体资本和实业部门的运动状况。只要金融存在，
金融投机就必然存在。但如果金融投机交易过度膨胀，
同实体资本和实业部门的成长脱离越来越远，
便会造成社会经济的虚假繁荣，形成泡沫经济。
泡沫经济与经济泡沫既有区别，又有一定联系。
经济泡沫是市场中普遍存在的一种经济现象。
所谓经济泡沫是指经济成长过程中出现的一些非实体经济因素，
如金融证券、债券、地价和金融投机交易等，只要控制在适度的范围中，
对活跃市场经济有利。只有当经济泡沫过多，过度膨胀，
严重脱离实体资本和实业发展需要的时候，才会演变成虚假繁荣的泡沫经济。
可见，泡沫经济是个贬义词，而经济泡沫则是个中性范畴。
所以，不能把经济泡沫与泡沫经济简单地划等号，
既要承认经济泡沫存在的客观必然性，
又要防止经济泡沫过度膨胀演变成泡沫经济。在现代市场经济中，
经济泡沫之所以会长期存在，是有它的客观原因的，
主要是由其作用的二重性所决定的。一方面，
经济泡沫的存在有利于资本集中，促进竞争，活跃市场，繁荣经济。
另一方面，也应清醒地看到，
经济泡沫中的不实因素和投机因素，又存在着消极成分。

where Jake will be when he turns 35, and we,
think Yee Hong will never change,
think that he and Bee will always be the same,
about Winnie and her taste for academy,
Cheng You boasting about MU vs MC, and
Siew Li talking bout going to McD;
lets not forget there Li Ting and Bin Li,
there's Jessica too, but she's extremely busy,
The rest of the gang, too much intimacy, and well
things went on and we all sat back,
thinking bout the times of FETG...
and this is how it goes...
As we go on,
We remember,
All the times we,
Had together.
As our lives change,
From whatever,
We will still be,
Friends forever.
I remember the day when I first walked in,
Everyone was lying there juz sitting and chilling, and we
Took a day to know each other by name,
Another day went on and it was never the same,
Young - not much to talk about his 4P act,
Hu forgot's Allison will only get a smack, and yeah
Alex, Xiao Laio and thier basketball crew,
Not to forget Carmen and her KL boyfren too =p
We ain't takin out Wei Li and Allan, true
Sometimes we kinda miss out Chee Heng too, so we'll
Take it slow so we don't leave anyone out,
Anyone absent all you gotta do is shout.
and this is how it goes...
As we go on,
We remember,
All the lectures,
We had together.
Aand tutorials,
Why do we bother?
We will still be,
Friends forever.
As we go on,
I remember,
All the joys we,
Spent together,
Mamak, CC,
Waterfall, McD,
Ipoh Old Town,
Banyak lagi...
And so it ends like this, like the rest of the course,
But be assured we'll never feel lost, cuz,
BA there will always be Ah Wyng,
Eugene will put ur piano skills to shame.
And there's Kahlen too, let's not forget,
When we smiles, its like the sun;s about to set, and
Kelly Beh and her cooking skills,
Not to forget her sing-k talent drills,
Shing-Yi and Shueh Li, I hope I don;t forget,
and that makes 24 of us, and we're all set, so
Let's hope we don;t forget each other's name,
Hope what we fell will always stay the same.
And this is how it goes,
As we go on, (we go on)
We remember, (yeah remember)
All the steamboats,
We had together,
We barbequed till,
The tiles blew open (yalah Young...)
This emotions,
Are words unspoken.

I dun make the rules, I juz follow em.. and look where it got me... xD
Posted by ~VanRyuzuki~ on Saturday, November 21, 2009
A rule. A distinctive guideline of appropriate behaviour that is deemed acceptable, be it verbal, physical or anything in-between by people around you.Theres two parts to a rule. Theres the followers, and theres the setters. When you say 'I obey the rules' you're a follower. Obedient, docile and a widely accepted commoner. 'If 'I disobey the rules' you're an outcast. Rebelious, unworthy and displacable.
Well.. rules aren't what they used to be anymore. Rules in traditional times were meant to be a mere guideline for future generations, by instilling a sense of fear to keep people in line and order. As times change, people change, and every darn thing in the world changed, but the rules did not. Many stayed stagnant.
With the dawn of the new age, people are no longer confounding themselves to the said rules, nor do they continue to follow them blindly. Our senses, observations, cunning, analytical skills have already been boosted to a level that we can tell right from wrong, without someone setting it for us pre-handed. The time has come where we can already think for ourselves, make choics that best suit us, even if it goes against the 'rules'.
But what if... the original setters of these rules didn't want to keep thier promise in the first place? What if... they have been so darn addicted to being in control all this while, they refuse to let things develop by themselves?
'Its for your own good' - over-controlling parents.
'We know whats best for you, and your country' - overpowering nations.
'We noe whats best for the people.' - over-thier head political parties.
'Trust me, its in our best interests.' - suppresive employers.
Its not something new anymore. Everyone have this feeling. That ur being caged up. Ur abilities suppressed. Confined to doing whats 'best for you', whats 'in your interests' and all that bull. I'm not saying its wrong. I'm saying that its a fact. Its happening. They say 'if you love something, set it free.' But what they all want, is 'if you love something, keep them close to you, as close as possible, destroy anything that gets in the way, even if you have to lie, cheat, and steal.'
U noe why dreams don't come thru? You noe why half of the people you noe, are confined to being 'happy' yet they feel like something is missing?
Its this freedom of change.
This sense... that was once a mere longingness to break free from tradition and constituition, but because of our high levels of exposure today, is creating a whole new dimension of perception and beliefs. Gays, lesbians, transexuals, urbanisasion. These people dont follow the rules. They make them as they go. They believe in what they think is best for them , in thier own interests. Theyhave that feeling for change. And when you compare it all at the end of the day, they might not have the pleasure of perfect socitial acceptance. But they do have a sense of 'completion', simple, natural genuine feeling of perfection from the heart.
I'm not a pro-homo or watever, but my point is, these people know what the hell they are doing, and because they know what they are doing, they can put up a really good fight, against anyone, because its right. Justice always triumphs in the end and all that.
Look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself a few questions:
1. when was the last time you had a heart to heart talk with someone.
2. when was the last time you didn't have to be somebody other than yourself to get what you want.
3. when was the last time you did something for someone else and was 100% pleased with it, with no expectations for returns at all?
4. when was the last time you had the liberty to eat, walk, talk as you see fit, and felt good about it?
5. most importantly, when was the last time you gave yourself a pat on the back and said 'you did a good job?'
U can continue to lie to urself. I can continue to feel like I'm loving every moment of my life, but in fact I'm not. I can continue to say I satisfied, but in fact I want it all. I can continue to pretend that I'm somebody, but in reality ur somebody is only applied when people approve of it.
U c? Rules. Like it or not. We're doing it. Obeying some. Breaking some. Every, single day. Thing is, who the hell set them anyway? God? Did God tell the world that your destiny is to go to school, get a degree, work, get rich and then die? Did God set the rule that you're unworthy if ur not a good-looker, ur not a good speaker, ur not a good thinker, ur not a good anything-er? No.... God loves us all the same. Its the people in between that is mixing things up, controlling us like the puppets we are. Its the same people who told you to stay in school because street dancing is not for you. Its the same people who tell you that its vital to support them if you want to stay alive. Its the same people whos telling you to walk on the right side of the road, study cuz thats the only way ur gonna make it, watch TV and movies, listen to Oprah, getting wed, a car, a house and a good job is the perfect 10 of your life, stops you from dancing in class, trying out a new flavour, a new recipe, a new design because its 'stupid', telling you that your plans wont work, wearing formal to work is the way to go, working 9-5 shifts are the perfect income jobs, oversea goods are much much better than local ones and of course the same people who tell you that there is no way you can match them, because you are unworthy and they are always better than you.
And you know what? We listen. Yup. 'I obey the rules'. Because its wrong. Because they are older. Because they know better. Because they are so much the wiser.
Sometimes thats just the way things are. People who have been in control, want more and more of in, and in the end, they deter away from what they started out to be. Its a mere hipothesis. And of course it doesn't go for all cases.
But how sure are you that they really do 'KNOW BETTER'? Why not trust urself? Ur instincts? Ur feelings? Wild dreams, emotional turmoils, crazy ambitions that dont put food on the table. Thats what really pisses me off. They like to label every darn thing we do.
Maybe its time we try to stop depending on views, teaching and guidelines from others too much. We are a trully dependent generation, you know. Maybe its time we trust ourselves instead, and find a world that trully belongs to us, and not one that has been designed, shaped and carefully crafted to shield us from harm and danger, yet is keeping us away from the truth.
I bet someone told Columbus that the world was flat. I bet many people laughed at him. And I bet when he proved them wrong, he had the last laugh. Had he backed down, like what we have been doing all this while, that last laugh will never come true.
History is Written by the victors. So how much truth can u gather from it? How much faith will you continue to put in, when cracks, faults and dents are beginning to appear on the covers, and little by little is revealing the real truth behind all thats going on today?
Be yourself. Don't overdo it. Be a mover of our generation. The 21st century, educated, street-smart, sweet-mouthed, cunning, quick, agile, compassionate, determined and spirited soul. Change the world, by changing yourself. Let them know, we appriciate all the things they have put us through, but now its time we take matters into out own hands, and see the world like it really is. We're sick and tired of lies. We're sick and tired of half-truths and false accusations. We're sick and tired of under-carpet information and alledged 'P n C's.
We want to know. We are determined to know. And by God we're in gear to know. The only thing stopping us now, is ourselves.
Wise men grow wiser with age, as do wine and its taste. But who sets the measurement, that a young boy like Alexander, cannot have the courage, the knowledge, the spirit and the strength to overtake his fore-fathers in dominating the world?
We followed the rules.
At least tell us the whys and hows of setting them. Because the day we know those rules aren't really working anymore, we'll take charge, and by then, the tables will be turned. You cant hide the truth forever.
爱情
对于爱情，很多人都有不同的想法。遭遇爱情痛苦和挫折的人认为爱情都是虚假的，世界上根本没有真实的爱情；真处于热恋之中的男女认为爱情就是杨柳岸边·花前月下，是浪漫·缠绵。其实这些都是不同境遇·不同的心态在不同的人身上爱的折射。爱情本身是美好的，玫瑰虽然有刺，但阻挡不了青年男女对纯真爱情的追求。没有爱情的人生是不完美的。我想只有每个人调整自己的心态，把握好爱的机会，会哟国有属于自己的那份幸福的。
友情
如果爱情是一朵玫瑰，那么友情就是一朵幽兰。玫瑰给人浪漫·给人激情；兰花给人谈雅·给人清馨。兰花有多种友情亦然。有普通朋友，也有蓝颜知己；有同辈朋友，也有忘年之交。兰花虽然没有玫瑰那么娇情，但也饿需要用心呵护。君子之交淡如水，朋友之间更多的是宽容·是理解·是支持·是问候·是祝福。朋友有了困难，伸出你真诚的手；你有了成功，去哦无处不在。凡事不能苛求太多，一切让它淡淡的来淡淡的去。自自然然·安安静静·友情如兰·唯有如此，才能芳香四溢，让友情在幸福中开。
亲情
说起亲情，中有一股温软在心头绽开。如果说友情是淡淡的，那亲情却是浓浓的。爱情的玫瑰会枯萎，友情之树叶有不青的时候，唯有亲情是割舍不开的。都说是血浓于水，这就是亲情的力量。父母之爱·兄弟之情，说出来总是那样一涌情怀。无论你走多远，无论你分别多久，亲情总把你的心牵扯。异乡的风吹不落你对亲人的思念；他乡的雨淋不落你对亲人殷殷的情怀。亲情与生俱来，亲情伴你一生。

we were rude in the meeting?we making bad reactions??
first ,think back..
when we start entering the room,everything is fine.when the meeting eeps going on ,i found that the guy that sitting in the middle ,william if i am not wrong..he always turn his head over the other side ..i knew we canot do anything for this,we are just small members and new comer in the meeting....
what actually realy make me feel fxxking is that when someone in us said out the problem of taking care of the members item..after the "higher level of management team" dscussed,they just simply made decisions that ask the members to throw their bags in te cafeteria and nobody there to take care of it,izit?when i try to ask out my question ,one of them just stood up and response rude to us!wtf!i was just trying to help u all,n u treat me like that...
i dun think its our fault ,we just treat them back as how they treat us ,and do we made any disturbing to the meeting?i dont think so...
so ,what for we apologize?

No Winnie, this is not about being emo, being down or anything of that sort. Don't judge becasue you can judge, and don;t label because you of personal perceptions.
These few weeks of keeping the blog updated and running, was well, something I did because I believed in the spirit of unity, something I believed we had. Fact is, the harder I got into doing it, the harder it became for me to face the fact that no one's listening.
I'm not conplaining. I'm stating a point. If no one reads the blog, then why do we upkeep it at all? I mean seriously..... Everyone agrees right?
So no, I'm not going to keep this blog anymore. We have 24 hours to go. We'll see if a miracle happens. Lolz. I tell you, I bet nobody even noticed this was posted.

Eh... Young, Siew Li, Jake, Cheng You. I dunno if u all can read any of this, but after conversing with Jake and Siew Li over dinner and knocking on the doors of my conscious, I think we shud apologize for our behaviour earlier on today during the FE Club meeting.
It was rather childish and everything don't you think, making noise and showing faces and making a bad scene when we were exiting the place.
So I've already sent an apology letter by mail to the pres, Tan Cheng Yeang. I have no idea whether he reads his utar mails or not, but it was worth a try. Jessica also said she apologized on our behalf.
I'm gonna find him personally as well if I can tomoro. Eh bradda, tolong me lah.....
