It's Surprising That's It Coming From Me !!

2010-06-13T07:51:00.000-07:00

I've spent ... more like wasted a lot of time in regrets, disappointments, self-pity, self-hatred and a feeling of betrayal to my folks. So much energy was burn for no reason. I have made quite a lot of mess in my past (in terms of grades) and regret them severely. Now I feel that it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I've learnt a lot of lessons a long the way. I feel like a better man and bettering my self milestones more. So ..... enough of what is done ..... more about what we could do.
I'm gona make it BIGGG time baby. I might not go to Stanford but I'll try all I can from now. All hail Stanford.

Right Book, Right Time

2010-05-16T07:47:00.001-07:00

I decided to just spend my semester break on reading a couple of self-improvement books because more then anyone ....... I needed it. I was hoping to change into a new A+ student and hopefully a Stanford student. Lucky me ... my dad gave me this old book that came in very handy. Its a book by the famous Stephen R. Covey titled "First Things First". It felt as if God was speaking to me because the message was clear and I felt a great connection with this book. I'm still half-away in finishing the book and I strongly recommend others to buy this book. I just wish I got this book when I was 7. It would have groomed me to become the person I should have been. Anyway, before this book I read Stephen's " The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People " which was great success and I enjoyed the book as well. Again I wish I had this book earlier too.

A Very Good Looking Pad

2010-05-12T08:14:00.000-07:00

The personal computer was a great invention as we all know and sooner the handphone came along. These two devices have obvious changed our world and most of all the way we live. These to worlds , the computer world and the mobile phone world have grown very rapidly with time and they keep getting better. Until the greatest company in the world(to me) decided to merge these great devices into one device called the iPad. Yes its Apple Inc., the company I would kill to work for (just kidding) introduced this some time ago. I thought they did a phenomenal job(as usual) after watching the launch on Apple Special Event, April 2010 which I watch through a podcast. My dad is waiting for his iPad 3G and I can't wait to finally get my hands on one this amazing device. I think I better start saving up to buy some great games for the iPad especially the one created by Gameloft. I wonder when I'll get one for myself. Nothing like being self-made rich.

A Car That Is Actually "Mouthwatering"

2010-05-12T06:47:00.000-07:00

When I was around 10 years old the Ferrari 360 used to be common and one the most popular and favorite Ferrari around. It was in a lot of movies and music videos. Then this Ferrari was replaced by Ferrari F430 and it was looking pretty everywhere it goes. It was "the" car for a lot of wealthy people until it was recently replaced by this gorgeous new model called the Ferrari 458 Italia. The design was off the chain and very futuristic. I didn't think Ferrari was actually gonna make the car when I first saw the concept version on the Net. When I watched this review by Autocar Magazine ........ damn ....... it was life changin. The world owes the famous Pininfarina for the simply awesome design. Check it out.

God's Ooops ......

2010-05-12T06:27:00.001-07:00

The MAN upstairs as we all know has made very beautiful and admirable things here on planet Earth. A lot of us can just sit back and wonder what was running in his mind to have created such breathtaking things. One of those creation ended up being this particular person. You see ...... this is what happened in my opinion. One time, God was had some free time in his hands and was feeling most artistic as ever. He had sooo much ideas in his mind. So, he decided to just sit back, relax and feel calm and create an extremely great looking woman. He allow his stream of ideas, taste and artistic skills to take over and he created an African-American women who is more then stunning. Her name his Keri Lynn Hilson ( Keri Hilson ). Have you seen this women. I mean I'm speechless because I don't know of any words good enough to describe her. I keep telling myself that God regrets making her a human or in other words mortal. I feel God wants to marry her and is soooo proud of what a great looking women he had created.

She also now a singer and has been a song writer for varies great artists. I'm a huge fan of her music and a secret admirer of her killer looks. I really wish to meet her some day. Her new album is great ...... its called "In A Perfect World". I really loved all her singles. Once again, to you Miss Keri ........ I wish I could just meet you and take a picture with you. Ow God ........ don't worry ..... I won't steal your girl.

Gym Promoting Freaks II

2010-05-11T11:10:00.000-07:00

Its been 3 months of "gyming" and I can see some almost insignificant results. I'm not consuming any protein supplements or protein rich diets. I guess that is the reason. For my Mummy looking body, that is a pretty bad decision to not do so. What a waste ....... all that muscle strain and pull ......working soooo ver hard to build muscles and the results end up being sooo disappointing. The worst part is I can't put on weight. Problems on top of problems. African people or people of african descent are sooo fortunate becoz they are naturally very toned to build. Any regular African guy who has never been to the gym can look like a hunk. Most of them. And here I am burning myself out. I just don't get it, I working on my bodily and what is wrong having some bulks here and there ??

Crumbling Music Industry

2010-05-10T09:03:00.000-07:00

I'm hurting inside. I don't know if I have the strength to watch this anymore. My very dark red heart is bleeding away profusely. The once music industry for the super talented, super personality-ed and super creation of art and music and completely transformed to dry business controlled by losers. I have no personal grudges toward these artists and they seem like some very decent and good people. Its just that they work as artists stink. Don't mean to be harsh but it truly does. I'm referring to artists like Taylor Swift(not too bad), Justin Bieber or something and Gucci Mane. What are these people doing in the industry. Taylor is pretty okay but no at all Grammy-winning good. Come on guys. Mostly is this new Kid called Justin. He sucks sooooooooooooooooooooooo badly. Have u heard his songs, what an insult. How could even be top of any chart. It upsets me to see kids who still drink with baby bottle who cant really sing to be on TV. My mood gets wrecked just watching this kid.
We should keep artists like the great Lady Gaga and Chris Brown. They have true talent. Gone are the good times were we get singers like MJ. All we get now is babies in diapers singing about a girl three times his age.

A Ferrari For Normal People ......... Yea Right !!

2010-05-10T05:33:00.000-07:00

For those of you who don't know ........ I'm a giant car fan. Probably the biggest but the only thing that stops me from getting any bigger a fan is "cash". I'm not at the level to buy any cars right now. It's sad I know. So here a car I wanna tell u about. Its a new Ferrari called the Ferrari California. The name it self sound stupid. I mean "California". What does the state of California have to do with a Ferrari. It sounds very biased too. What about people living in Pennsylvania or Texas. Ferrari doesn't have cars for them ? Is there something wrong with every other state in the world except for California.
Ferrari is an Italian car maker. Why not stick to an Italian name. Call it Ferrari Vatican then. Now that sounds holly. Just kidding. I just don't get it ....... Why California ?
Here's the best part, the Ferrari California (I laugh when I say it) ...... its idea or theme is to make a Ferrari for normal use other than racing and for normal people. I never once thought that normal people need a $200k plus car for normal use. It also never occurred to me that for daily purpose use you need 4.3L V8 engine. Who are they kidding ??

A Four Month Gap Later

2010-05-09T21:58:00.000-07:00

Ok, this is embarrassing .......... Its a long time and I'm actually on a semester break right now. A had quite a semester. I mean it was better than my previous two semester, less struggling and more "discipline". To be honest ........ I'm just bitting the bullet till I go to the "Land of Dreams" a.k.a. the US. After 4 months of gym, I can see a little difference in terms of "buffness" coz my diet wasn't very good (lack of protein) but never mind it can wait. So, I'll be posting a few posts a day to make up for my very long miserable break.
Although, I'll begin my 4th semester soon. Man, life does not consider taking breaks.

Gym Promoting Freaks

2010-01-06T05:00:00.000-08:00

I went to a gym near my college to check it out and soon sign up for. It's a pretty famous gym around here and quite new too. I heard the gym was doing well too. So i meet with a promoter who was put in charge of getting me hooked up with the gym. She very cheery and excited ...... a little way too much actually. Well its part of her job to keep a full smiling face all day. She then gave me some introduction about the gym and all. The time came for the pricing and there was the joke ......... as usual I "specially" get some price promotions and all but she refused to drop of the registration fee( which worked my for friend who joined the gym previously ). I told her I'll come the next day and sign up.

The next day unfortunately my dad wasn't at home so I couldn't get the cash from him and so I told her that. She suddenly said her boss agreed to drop the registration fee. Magic huh ?? So, she said I could come the following day. I had to get my bank account number (which is one of the application rules which I thought was weird since I was going to be paying by cash monthly). According to her its supposed to be for safety reasons in case you don't pay or don't turn up the next month. That's a little stupid don't you think.

The following day, I was in a rush and had some trouble sorting out some stuff so I didn't bring the some of money and told her I was very sorry and told her I wouldn't pay her in the next morning. She suddenly say the a so called promotion was ending on that very day which I wasn't informed of earlier or else I have to pay the registration fee. I didn't know that the laying off registration fee was even a promotion ........ damn ...... to be continued

Aw Man .......

2009-12-31T22:08:00.000-08:00

2010 also reminds me that my long 2 month semester break is over ..... and I gotta start studying again. The pressure in life increases as we age ..... well to a certain extent. It also reminds of your life checklist were most of it is not ticked and some half or some what ticked. You should get a flash slideshow of your goals in your head. At my age ...... you would really, I mean really really wish to be independent or close to that as much as possible. You would think of God and ask a lot of why questions, maybe toooo many till you would start hating everything but you'll get over it real fast. Most of all the feeling that strikes me most is pure FEAR !

A Happy New Decade !!

2009-12-31T21:05:00.000-08:00

So its 2010 huh ? 2 more years for the world to the end of the world. Just kidding ..... the movie 2012 is complete rubbish though ..... saw a month ago. So what kinda plans should you and I should have this year huh ?? For me its simple ...... make lots of money. I need to find a way. Any idea anyone. I'm gonna be 19 this year ...... still no sign of becoming a self-made multi-millionaire (at least). Time passes real fast huh ...... so what plans do you have ?? Remember ... we are running out of time !

Damn ...... They Are Confused

2009-12-31T07:23:00.000-08:00

They are many wannabe White Asians in our world today. The number of wannabe white Asians is almost close to its population itself. I don't know what went wrong with these guys but ...... they are really lost. Chinese from China for that matter ..... I mean have you seen their music industry? It's a total, complete, and 100% copy of English or American music. Its the same English song ..... the same tune, music and all it but just sung in some Chinese language. Even there video has nothing Chinese about it ......... just the people. It these phonies lie all their way through the life, portraying creativity in themselves to the Chinese community and making some easy quick bucks ...... lots of em. Now about the Indians ......... I was watching this Tamil movie taken in India where the heroine was informing the here on where she was going to further her studies. She join she studying in San Francisco Berkeley. Where on Earth this University ? First of all, San Francisco and Berkeley are two completely different places. Second, which one of those places is she actually studying in. If you don't even know where your university is ...... don't go. So finally she actually went to UC Berkeley. She doesn't deserve it.

The Lamborghini Sir ....

2009-12-28T05:12:00.000-08:00

Have you'll watched " The Dark Knight " , its the sequel to " Batman Begins " staring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, the late Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, and Maggie Gyllenhaal? I hope you did ? Batman is in my opinion, the best comic based movie and " The Dark Knight" is the world's 4th highest grossing film worldwide and hence the forth movie to earn more than $1 billion. The movie ..... i mean ..... speechless. If you haven't watched it ? ........... you've lost out big time man. So to those "non-loser" who have watched it ...... remember the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 driven by the character multi-billionaire Bruce Wayne(Whom everyday I wish that I could live his heavenly life but not being Batman part) ? He crashed it to save his employee who was going to reveal his true identity. Damn ....... !! He actually crashed. I would do anything in the world to own one of those. Why do people crash such exotic cars for film sake ?? It totally broke my heart. I mean .... such a fine piece of engineering to save a dude ? It's different if it was someone like Meagan Fox ......... if you know what I mean. Quite saddening I must say ......

iPhone Is Real Great ..... That's its problem

2009-12-28T05:11:00.000-08:00

All men who reside in the civilized/modern world should know what an iPhone is by now. Cmon. It's no doubt the state of the art phone and is ..... no words to describe it ........ I only have the iPhone 3G 16GB not the latest 3G[S]. It's great to use, easy even for not so techie people to use and it's hell gorgeous. The funny part is it's very very cheap which I personally think doesn't make sense ..... what ever great reasons Apple Inc. might have, it's just too cheap and in way insulting (Sorry). So everything is great about the iPhone but there is just one problem ........ ITS WAY TOO COMMON !! I'm sorry if I sound really stupid but honestly, its not fun to use a phone were every corner you turn you see an the exact same phone as the one you own. I love Apple Inc. more than most things in my life but for a very selfish reason ........ owning or using an iPhone doesn't feel special anymore. I always loved Macs because they made me feel very special. iPhone, not as much .........

I'm not cool with that ...... totally

Why The Actors ??

2009-12-28T05:02:00.000-08:00

It's a little hard to completely understand why the actors get paid with such a large bulk of money for just doing the acting part. You see ..... everything is given to them and all they have to do is follow instructions. Whereas the script writer, director, the graphic guys and all have to do sooo much more work. The have to come up with new ideas, be creative, innovative and all. This is hard work because it is starting something from scratch. Besides some of the big directors, some directors don't get as well paid as the actors. Isn't that a little unfair ?? All the have to do is follow instructions, memorize scripts and do some good acting ........ they don'y have to think or create as much !! Yet they get paid all the millions almost instantly ....... weird

Super Dumb Price

2009-12-17T06:44:00.000-08:00

Today was my grandmother's 3rd year death anniversary prayers at a Sivan Temple in the city. Beside the temple is a quite shabby looking new and used car showroom. In that shabby looking showroom they have some really exotic cars. This time the new Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce and it was the typical beautiful light Lamborghini green. Damn the looks great. Well, its costs about $450,000 ...... so I wouldn't say its affordable. If you wanna know more about this car, you should watch the Top Gear episode on it. It's all taken the oil rich city of Abu Dhabi.

You see ...... to buy cars here in Malaysia is an extremely expensive purchase when you compare it to the U.S.. Here, the cars is pumped with insane levels of taxes. It finally costs almost 3 times the original cost and especially for Malaysia's low currency value and low value for money, a car is freaking expensive. Yet you can see quite a number luxury cars on the road. So for someone to buy a SuperVeloce, they have to one of the super rich. That means that they could actually afford 3 SuperVeloce if they buy it in the U.S. What's with the super dumb taxes. Anyway you don't see the output of all the tax money on the country (if you know what I mean). Let me give a clearer example, a Porsche Cayman S in the U.S. is $61,500 where here it is RM 668,000(around $185,000). So do you see the difference ? Crazy huh ?

Singers' Change of Luck

2009-12-15T23:11:00.000-08:00

Many of you'll know that there are many self made millionaire singers or as they liked to be called "artists" today right ? I personally think a singers life is kinda living the dream life. I mean ...... its really fast money, its its even more money when your good. It's an instant life changing career.The best part of it all is that you can do it at almost any age. There are lot of teen singer around and some aren't teenagers anymore. You even make more money when you win awards and if you appear as guests of feature in other artists' songs.

It's definitely hard work but a lot of it is done for you already. You have a song writer to write you those songs, someone to do you the music, someone to write you the notes and all you as a singer got to do is just sing. It sounds pretty simple unless you're doing a lot of them on your own. Yet, the singer makes the a large bulk of the "greens". We are talking about millions of dollars man ....... enough to get you those "cribs" and some hot "wheels". It sounds pretty unfair to me. I might be wrong because I'm not an international artist(YET).

You see, back in the old days ...... when singer where only found in opera theatre, singers where poor people. The rich pay a lot of money to come see these shows. Most of the money goes to the owner of the theatre. The singer could only live a simple life or lesser. Nowadays, singers are way richer most of the listeners, fans, and the regular people. What the change in luck for the singers. I would love to be singer in Hollywood in that case because you don't make close as much in Bollywood or what other "wood". hehehe. Anyway ....... i really do love singing.

"Ceremoneys"

2009-12-15T22:29:00.000-08:00

Well, I think the basic purpose of ceremonies is to flash our cash. I'm sorry if I'm going to offend anyone but this is just my view. Come on ....... most of what goes on is completely unnecessary. Its about what car you come to the ceremony with, how fabulously you're dressed, your "blings", the place, and all that stuff. When your rich, then its an opportunity your waiting for to be as dashing as possible. For those who are not ....... its a really wasteful burden. Once in a while, it might be fun but when it ends its more about jealousy, envy, and sometime even inspiration to be wealthier (but its quite temporary). I wonder who's bright idea is it to have these ceremonies ?

Missing the Purpose

2009-12-12T06:20:00.000-08:00

Human(homo sapiens) are scientifically animals as well. That means our purpose is just to LIVE. We supposed to do the same things animals do ....... just find or hunt for food and sleep. Thats supposedly our purpose as animals. We are weird looking animals though. So its that simple ..... but thats not what we "animals" are doing. Dude, look at us ..... doing all kinds of crazy and mega things ....... you know ..... trying to play God. Thats sooo not animal like. Did God create us to do all that stuff. Come guys ...... we changed the world he created for us. Why on Earth are we working sooo damn hard for ? Is it because of money ? Because money is the only reason I would work ..... jus kiding.

Then what is it ? Do you see where I'm going with this ? Let me try simplifying it for you ........

Why build tall skyscrapers, machines, and all those great things were your job is just to live. ?

Maybe its to impress others and even yourself ....... what do you think huh ??

Let's Learn to Separate A 'Star'

2009-12-10T20:40:00.000-08:00

I'm sure a lot of u guys have heard about the Chris Brown & Rihanna case right. A lot people are now against the 20 year old, CB (Chris Brown) for hitting Rihanna, 21 and some so called fans are just overacting and now hate CB. There is no doubt that what CB did was very wrong but come on ...... he's kind of still a kid. He's only 20 ..... he made a mistake with his personal life. Its really his problem. I'm a HUGE fan of CB. Huge I tell u. I still am.

You see ... CB is a super talented entertainer. He's a R&B superstar and we should appreciate him for his music and hot dance moves not what he does in his personal life. He's still moulding to become a man. Give the guy some space man. This is what happens when you mix artists with their personal life. Artists have talent and some are great at what they do. Who love em what that ..... not for who hits who or who is dating who. Its you who tend to finally loose out. Same goes for all other celeds ..... Mr. Woods, the late MJ, JT and more.

Don't waste your time people.

A "Holidie" in Sydney "Maite"

2009-12-10T20:02:00.000-08:00

Just last week I came back from Sydney, Australia where my family and I went for a holiday. We were at Darling Harbour/Harbor at the Holiday Inn (like the Chingy song). Sydney is a beautiful place man ..... its clean, full of greens, awesome public transport, no traffic jams just minor congestions highways, great weather and just sooo many more things to say ..... after all Sydney is the 8th most livable city in the world. Damn it was really hard to come back ..... I couldn't leave to come back to my country were it isn't all that awesome. I just loved it there soo very much.

You know my country, Malaysia, could have been equally or maybe slightly more successful as Australia. You see ... Australia is rich bcoz of its resources which it has an abundant of and so does Malaysia. M'sia even has an advantage when it comes to population. Yet, Australia makes 3-4 times more in GDP than Malaysia. Its all corruption guys ...... its just plain corruption. Its really saddens me when we M'sians could live sooo much better lives but we have 'some' cold n greedy politicians ruling the country. Politicians who use our income tax money to buy palatial mansions and hot cars for themselves and take their 'kampung' families to fancy holidays flying all the up in 1st class.

Here's a saying .....

" Malaysia, a blessed and beautiful country but with 'some' shitty and horrible men ruling it"

(I would like to stress SOME to offend the right people)

Look Back On Your Life Day (Part 2)

2009-12-10T06:02:00.000-08:00

How can someone change so instantly from an above average student to an academic superstar ??

It's always about the books huh ? I have to read and memorize and read and memorize and read and memorize and read and memorize and finally kinda understand some things. Its just really boring. Its like every person is standardized to compete on the same thing. Some people r just good with books instantly or really fast .... some people jus take a longer time. So ur gona base ur results on if some is smart or dumb based on that ? I thought college would be a little different ..... but its kinda of the same as college .. just a lot more to do is a lot lesser time. I can blame my country's education system for the horrible way it is but thats an utter waste of time. I really do wish to go to the U.S. as soon as possible. Honestly, I wish academics could be a lot more fun for me. I don't know were I'm goin wrong. I just want to find something I will LOVE. Like how Mr.Jobs found Apple Inc. ( You should she his 2005 Stanford Commencement Address).

Today Was Another "Look Back On Your Life Day"

2009-11-09T19:22:00.000-08:00

Just last week I finished my finals for my 2nd semester. To be honest, it wasn't easy at all. I kinda struggled a bit here and there .... but I wasn't very happy. So lets leave that behind. Today I'm gonna reflect on my life. As some of you know .... I've always put myself in the average or above average student academically. Most of my close loved ones knew I could do way better. By the time I discovered that myself, it was already toooo late. I always had a very very low opinion about myself and I look at other people and thought they were great. ( Remember I am referring to academics only ).

For all my major exams in school, I always scored very average marks. So I thought I could make it up to my parents who work extremely hard to pay for my tuition fees. I really worked toward getting straight 1A's. Sadly, I didn't accomplish this goal of mine. I began to hate myself for what I did as I felt I have disappointment to my parents whom I love so very much.

After that, I wanted to make it up my getting all 3 A's for my A-levels but ended up doing another course which is the American Degree Program. So, for my 1st semester I made some drastic changes with the way I do things. But it wasn't a big a change enough. I didn't really do that well for my 1st semester finals either and I had a crazy thought of giving up on academics. I hurt my parents once again. I didn't get a 4.00 GPA. How am I to transfer to a great school like Stanford University or UCLA. Am I wrecking my own life ?? How can someone ............. (to be continued on the next post)

A Comeback After A Crazy and Long Phase

2009-11-09T19:19:00.000-08:00

Hey guys, I am finally back after an awful long time. So many things have happened from the last time I've posted. So to make up for that .... I'm gonna post many many posts coz I'm on a long 2 months semester break after my 2nd semester. I came up with quite a lot of jokes but unfortunately I didn't write them down and I forgot about them. Damn.

I've got big plans for iArul.
