Smile! Like you mean it!

Eversince I was brought into this pathetic world, I have always stayed in the same place. Daddy bought the house (that I live in) and was so damn determined that he never wanted to move away from that house. Well, he put much effort, money and time into renovating and making the house better and very much comfortable for all of us.

The thing is, my friends have all, at one point of time, move to another place, for better or for worse. I had never felt what its really like to move to another (new) place. Nothing special really, but as a young kid, I always wanna be like other people. I persuaded my dad and mom to move, but all I got was scoldings and naggings ( :D), well they are complacent with the place and have never thought of relocating to another place. I was still too young to understand the trouble and hassle of shifting.

Until I was 19, I basically lived in a small township called Bukit Beruang (I still can't understand why only Malaysia places have the lamest names in the world.. why can't we just have more happening names like places in the US or Australia or the UK?).. I studied in a kindergarten in Bukit Beruang, I went to primary school in Bukit Beruang, and secondary school in Bukit Beruang and did my foundation year in Bukit Beruang (and even thought I'd complete the rest of my degree in Bukit Beruang). I was pretty happy with my life at that point until one day when I was out for lunch with my friends...

The conversation goes like this:
Candice: Julian, do you go to KL often?
ME: Ermm..
Candice: I go there a few times a year. You gotta go there.. during Megasales!
ME: (Felt so katak dlm tempurung.. I don't even go there a whole year sometimes.. Its just fucking 1 1/2 hours from here..)

So it struck me that I can't stay in Melaka anymore! I'd die a frog if i don't step out of the coconut shell! Another one was when my lecturer said:

"You were born in Melaka, grew up in Melaka, studied in Melaka, Go to university in Melaka, you'll definitely work in Melaka and DIE IN MELAKA! (everyone in the class started to laugh)

I was determined that I somehow must get out of Melaka before it gets worst! So I made up my mind to complete my degree in Cyberjaya. Well, I was definitely excited but finally understood why my dad never wanted to move to another place and how expensive.. and the worst thing is you're gonna need time to get used to the place.

Something that I'm never good at.. Especially recognizing roads. Especially when you're in KL. The problem with me is that my friend from Seremban, Eugene knows the road in melaka than me (How embarasing..) and when my colleague from India, knows the road in PJ better than a Malaysian. I'm very bad at recognizing roads and places and especially when you move into a new neighbourhood, you'd need more time to make sense to how the lanes are located. Some places you'd have very simple layouts but some older places, that connects to another place would be much more complicated, especially when you're staying in somewhere in SS2.

What makes it harder for me to adapt to the new place is that, I've move to 3 different places in 5 months. How worse can it be..

I've just moved to this place in SS2, and been staying for 2 days already. Im still trying to make sense. Don't laugh at me, this is why I hate playing RPG games. I don't remember places that well. Please be assured that I didn't encounter the below situation when I was staying in BU and Tmn SEA ok? It only happened in SS2. All in all, I just hope this'll be the place I'd end up for a long long time to come..

Tomorrow is my third day.. but I haven't made full sense of'

this taman yet.

Dear your name here, its been a long time, very long time

My birthday this year.. I'd consider the best since whoever his name is created rock music. Thru out my life, never have I celebrated my birthday like 5 times before and after my birthday.. :D So I would like to thank all of YOUs who have made my birthday this year a really special one. I've got many great gifts this time, from a cat soft toy, an ear phone (me old one is like 'kiam chai' already) a card holder, which I really need so that I could store my name card, and cakes and cup cakes, and sushi supper japanese dinner hakka dinner.. :D and not to forget, Jem's Wasabeer, and Gary's half brain dead's cause.

Thank you ALL! You made my 22, 21 again!

22nd Birthday post!

A few of my fave watches and some of my collections.
Some are new and some are really old.

A Sandoz ladies watch which probably dates back to the 50's. This brand
no longer produces watches anymore (http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/WATCHSALES/SandozSWISSSalesTable.htm)

My dream: The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. The one that bond wears. Isn't the bezel
just beautiful?

My dads: Seamaster Classic with blue markers

I don't know what they call this little bars that holds the strap to the watch.

Water resistant bands

Dials from various brands


Camy ladies watch passed down by my granpa to my dad and to me now.

So far, i couldn't find any history about Vonax watches, but other brands like
leobe, wyler are still available, used ones of course.

My late granpa's Seiko automatic watch. Still working
till today, probably 40 yrs old.

My dad's A.Lange and Sohne with perpetual datograph capable of measuring
day, date, month, leap year, and moon phase

My dad's Rolex

My late granpa's Seiko with chronograph, but the crown
is broken, so we have to use a temporary crown to wind it
