Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

When we talk about Elton John, I first think about that he's Gay.

When we talk about his song, which one you would probably love the most?
"Candle in the Wind"? "Sacrifice "? "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word"? "Can You Feel The Love Tonight"?

Among all the Greatest, I am more fancy on "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". One may be pop up asking :
"What song is this?" or maybe "Did he sang this?"
Hmmm... I ain't going to answer a bad questions like these...
Maybe a simple question of "WHY?" is a question it should be.

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

GoodBye Yellow Brick Road

""When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground""

This song is just like telling a long long story, of everyone.
From a beginning until an end.
How we made effort on something, took actions and held the results.
What are we going to do next if we know the future of ourself.
Why are we be in such a hurry, rushing up and doing, since we know how it ends.Hmmm... it's too late for me to tell you how I feel what's imply in the song. I wanna sleep.
Find it yourself ok? I bet you could.

Life without a camera

Life without camera is hard for me. It might be something normal to most people since they don't care so much about it. They're probably so busy and stick on their daily packed schedule. I saw a lot people walking on streets, with different faces but similar numb phiz. You rarely found any expressions on their faces.

They look at the time to make sure they aren't late, sign boards for direction, building, traffic lights, cars, streets...
They listen to music from their mp3 players, car honks and engine roaring, ring tones...
They answer to strangers who were asking for direction, someone on the handphone, talkative colleague and salesman...
They whiff to the dangerous "2nd-hand" smokes and exhaust gases, promoted perfume, fart in an elevator...
They touch each another by shaking hands, fighting, molestation...
They think of vacation, being rich in near future, beautiful babes on their couch...

Life without camera in a vision city like KL is a nightmare. No one is that sensitive to their surroundings. They keep on viewing the world via papers, books, website, and imagination.

One would never know how Red is a repeating stop traffic light, how Golden Yellow is every highrise building under the early sun shine, how Blue is our sky above the cloud and smog, how Green is a huge old banyan tree at the corner, how White is the snaggletoothed smiling sweet to us?

Our vision is numb to all surroundings?
Another day past.
Our sight is nothing but deja vu of our own's memory?
Another life's samsara goes on, and on, and on....

Ah! I need a camera!

Boring!!!

Tuesday in NU. Class starts on 9am till 6pm with just an hour of lunch break. What a schedule that make studying so so dull.

I feel a bit baldness with the surroundings. And I do feel that I was probably the "minority" that were having such matter.
I found someone similar to myself. A guy, with his Teh Tarik alone. I left everyone at Hi Tea to the library. No mood to chit chat. He did the same.

a Lousy Day...

Manner Issue

Finally I able to spend some time to collect my diploma cert. in TARC. I didn't have the camera with me but I am not going post it here even I have it. Haha... Why? I am just a little sand compared to all the Bachelor and Doctorate holders around here. By the way, a diploma cert really not so "BIG" for me.

What I wanna talk about is the "Manner" attitude problems in our servicing sector. An education sector is SO essential to send a message to all our hot prospect going to join in the community. So the basic politeness shouldn't be a issue that failed in an education section.

Unfortunately, TARC is desperately struggling in this stuff. Most of the staff are probably working under-stress or under-paid situation. I doubt it was probably their attitude rather than others. Their faces are so hard-shelled just like a corpse. You hardly find a beam on on their faces. However, there're a few (really few) who are so nice to intercourse and to chat with. I can't recollect now but I will find out their name, someday.

NU Malaysia Campus

So this is my new "warzone" to battle in! Nice huh!
Hmmm... something just to mention. The class of my BEng Mechatronic course, has only 7 students... hahaha!

Registration in NU

Woke up around 10am. I should be earlier since I need to go Nottingham University in KL for all the registration procedures. It started around 9 but I decided not to go such early since slept late before that.

Paid another 4Ringgit parking fees. Owning a land in KL is simple a wealth decision. Just make parking your business and it has high profit returns.

Then walked a 50m distance to NU.
I thought there won't be many of them who going to register since the fees is quite high compared to other Uni and Colleges... But seems I was wrong, wrong big. The place was crowded, with lots of people, some to register, some just accompany, and some were the staff working. They looked just nice to me since everyone like smiling along their way. Maybe smiling is something you should be doing when facing lots of strangers, especially foreigners. :) And I smile big. "HAHA!"

After briefing along the scene, everything went bored. Just queueing and keep that on. Different processes and procedures had to be done. But they just took, or I should express my anger like this, WASTED too much time! Dammit. That was something bad and surely don't impresses me on their management on this. Everything just gone un-smooth whats more terrible was the weak air-conditional system. It was HOT inside the building.

Spent nearly 4 hours there. Most were queueing and waiting. Hmmm... they should had took care of us BETTER.

Prep for Nottingham Uni

Hmmm.. Finally! Or I should said here comes, the begin of another new study life of mine in Nottingham Uni. It's friday today and I think it might be the last easygoing friday after my "long vacation" from my one year plus abandoned studies. Enrolling for the 2nd Mechatronics Degree Year this coming Monday, 13rd Sept.

I pressume the first day gonna be just paying up the fees and a brief introduction to the Uni. The 2nd day... hmmm... maybe just briefing from the lecturers and tutors... so-called orientation day? I skipped my previous one in TARC and this time, maybe not. Why? simply because I think of the expensive fees i paid, compared to TARC, I am really interested to know what the heck will be going on during that day. It should be much more interesting than the one in TARC i suppose, because there will be foreigner students,from e.g. HK, China, Indon, Thai and even Iran. Haha! Just curious why they choosed M'sia.
Another thing that I concern, which is how many student will be there in my class? Mechatronic, an alien word of most layperson, just might not be a choice for most. Perhaps I am going to disappointed, thats for sure I assume.

Listed a detail check-list of what to bring. Going to stay temporary at some friends house before searching a suitable and comfortable room around KL. Hmmm... certainly a lonely journey to stay there since everyone there is going back home after the finals in TARC. What a coincident, and a pity news for myself. Staying alone in a big house, facing the walls, talking maybe just by typing in the laptop screen, and having every single meal alone? one certainly won't feel good. But that's what I need to encounter.
Nay! I already used to it when I was alone in a room, studying for my finals in TARC. But I remembered it was sucks!

Darn it... Who knows what will happen? Let's see about it later.

Hungry Ghost Festival

Oh My God... Everything were on FIRE!!!!! As I reached the scene of the so-called "Hungry Ghost Festival" event... I missed all the burning of paper-made god-like statues, and the fire-works, and... everything that to set on fire... oh... what a nightmare as I waited this for so long... I just thought they're probably going to burn everything in the mid-night... It was 30minutes before that when I reached... Darn... really darn... haha... <

Missed the sacrificing session... Hmmm... too bad... too woeful... so I walked around. The setup stage was still in liveliness at late night, with girls performing singing and dancing... lots of fellow still hanging around there... watching the show (or the sexy girls?)... I have no interest on that (honest) so maybe some other thing may be nice to distract myself from... ermmm... whatever... I spotted an old uncle selling "Stinky Taufu" (Chou Dou Fu) and I approached him... Just try on some... It's far from good... It's stink... and I really mean it... 

Just an article

Read something nice on a paper. It was a chinese article, so i roughly translated them.
1. The moment I jumped down, I saw A-Dai couple, who love God, were having a fistfight on the 10th floor.
2. I saw Peter on the 9th floor, who was usually tough, crying on the sneak.
3. A-mei on the 8th just discovered her fiance on the bed with her best friend.
4. DanDan on the 7th was having some pills of anti-hypochondria.
5. Unemployed AhXi on the 6th was still searching jobs on 7 different newspapers everyday.
6. Mr.Wong on the 5th floor, a regarded teacher, was secretly trying on his wife's brassiere.
7. Rose on the 4th was again having quarrel with her boyfriend.
8. Uncle on the 3rd floor still hoping someone to visit him everyday.
9. Lily on the 2nd floor, still starring at her husband's photo, who had ran away after half year marriage.
10. Just before I jumped , I thought I was the world's most hapless one.
11. Now I realised that everyone have their own personal puzzledom.
12. After looking at them I profoundly felt that my life was actually not that bad.
13. Those who I looked at were now looking at me now.
14. I think after they saw me, they would feel their life was actually not that bad, too. <
