Anyone wanna fly with me?

When we're too busy and too pressure in our daily life, we'll think of escaping.

Escaping from anything and everything that compress our mind, our stressful life, and restricted vision. We became more tiny and tiny, until puny and unimportant.
When we're too easy and too free in our daily life, we'll, too, think of escaping.
Escaping from anything and everything that depress our logical thoughts, our vigorous trust, and unbordered boredom. We became slower and slower, until puny and faded away.

This is not the way it should be. As for a string that strain too much, it will break; as it is too slack, it will not play. We should be in betwwen.

Then, I thinking of flying away. Flying up into the sky, into the cloud, along with the birds, beyond the mountains and streams, surrounded by empty space. Slowly, we become tiny, and more tiny, and faded away.
 


When we're back, we learn to be more appreciated. Appreciated in everything, everything that wouldn't be long and lasting. As in Heart Sutra, "Form is empty, Emptiness is form." Which means of impermanent.

So, Live and Let Live. And,
We shall have a better life.

Squeezing in Light Rail Transit

AAow MAN!!! What the Hxxk!
This was my first reaction when I am going to Uni using the PUTRA LRT.
AAow DAMN!!! What the Fxxk!
This was again my reaction when I am going back using the PUTRA LRT.

I wonder WHY K.L. is having such a "pony" rail transit system in a packed city. I thought it is worse on the road, but the LRT is just near with it. As bad as it is.
A 32-40 seats compartment is squeezed with 200 over passengers, and only 2 compartment per rail for each schedule time. I wonder they know how to count the ratio. If they do, I suppose they're trying to create a massive metropolitan surroundings like Tokyo, HongKong, NewYork... ? Else, why don't they add more compartments during the busy peak hour? Maybe we should ask our dear PM to take LRT to work, or drive himself to work without traffic police to carve out a way, then he will be considerate of the KL caboodle.

Email to Prof Brian Tuck

Reached UNiM around 910am. I am not late today instead I came too early for my 10am class. But what the heck~~! I forgot to bring my little cute ID CARD! And then I was told I am not able to pass through the entrance without one.

something bad happned...

I wrote an email, and sent it to the head of engineering division, Prof Brian Tuck.
The email and the reply from Prof Brian Tuck is as follows:

Subject: Re: ID Issue

Dear Ren-Si

I agree with you that our rules must apply equally to everyone here. The situation you have described is unacceptable. I am copying this e-mail to both Paul Boardman and Brian Atkin with a request that they take the matter up with the security company. The fact that you have given a precise time for the offence is helpful.

Professor Brian Tuck

Good Morning Prof Brian Tuck,

Regarding the ID issue (Failing to present the ID is not allowed to enter the building), I have something to talk about it.

Today morning, I have a class on 10am and I arrived to UNiM around 9.10am. Then I found out that I didn't bring my ID card and thus disallowed to enter UNiM. A paper sheet of ID rules was shown to me. So, I decided to call my housemate to bring my ID card from home in SETAPAK.

As I was waiting, I saw a Master Student came out through the enterance using someone else ID who was going out too. I wonder how he went in before this, as I heard he said he didn't bring his ID. A few minutes later, that Master student went in UNiM again, without his own card, when the security guard scanned his card to let him in.

I felt so bad, unfair and ridiculous when I was viewing all this. As I was OBEYING the Rules, the security guard BROKES it. I approached the security guard and questioned him about his unfair action. He pointed to Miss Receptionist (Wati) and called me to ask her. Few moments later, I asked Wati about this and she pointed to the guard called me to ask him. She added that the rules is to obey. Miss Wati temper is hot today and react unpolitely. However, I understand her situation that since she is in Fasting, maybe her "mood" isn't that good. Hence, I don't blame her for that.

The main point of this email is that, I hope all student and staff will be treated in a FAIR manner. I could have borrow a card from my friends around to enter, but I DIDN'T. Because I read the rules and OBEY them. I hope the guard do the SAME THING.

Something I wish to add here. Paying a RM20 "Fine" for a visitor pass to enter is a very harsh punishment. RM20 is almost my daily expenses. I hope students are EDUCATED to wear the ID, and not PUNISHED hardly to wear it.Of course, I wear it everyday, every single moment in UNiM.

Thanks for your concern.
Have a nice day!


Regards,
OOI REN SI

Free Finally!

Just submited the laboratory report! Finally I am free again! Spent too much time on a 10pages report, but I think it should be ok. After reading damn a lot articles and references online and books, a little report was generated. I'm a little regret of using my time like this, I should "waste" so much time and effort on a rated 7 1/2 point in final exam, while abandoned all my tutorial and revision time...

Hmmm... maybe... just copy and paste and modify from others next time...

Kart Night! Oh Shit!

I arrived early at the kart circuit. No one around except some staffs working there. The so-called "Xtreame Park" is really good there. The track is large, but dim in my opinion. It should be better to add more spotlight with correct position. 

The karts I snapped were some new karts and they're not ready to put on tracks yet. However, they certainly look nice.

 


Me: "What's wrong with ya? Don't bang my rear will ya?"
Yet, i keep on banging the kart in front of me, and then I find out the kart I am in had no brakes.

I was on a damn number 8 backup kart after I find out the number 2 kart I jumped in was lack of braking system. It was a nice and excellent experience on kart but it was a lousy race day for me.  

I was placed last 3 at the starting position. When the race began, I managed to pursue and overtake some karts in front of me. ( approx. 6-7 in front ) I noticed that I was probably 2nd or 4th in position although it was a lap time race.

However, nightmare arrived after the 3rd lap. Some buggers keep on crashing and hitting my rear. I try to drive faster but finally drifted at a curve cornering. After that, I try to pursue back my position but just failed. I keep on drifted and glided on some curves.

Ended position like the starting position -- 3rd ---> from the last...
HAHAHA!!! 57.xx seconds for my fastest time. The fastest timethat night was 49.xx. WOW! Gonna work something on it to be better...

Go-Kart Night Race

Tonight I'll have a go-kart race. The race will be held in one of the biggest go-kart track in Malaysia, Sunway X-Tream Park, Sunway Go-Kart Track.

It should be something interesting I guess but I really hope it will be exciting and agitated to everyone there. It will somehow be a race of Best Time Lap for all the racers, instead of racing like the normal one. However, this might causes the competition to become a little stuffy. I really do prefer a race to be like a "real" race, where racers pursue one and another to the first position. Yet, it is not so possible for the race tonight since we aren't proffesional kart-racers. No one can guarantee the safety of the race, so no one would risk their lives and their money in case of an unwanted accident. I'm not so worry about the accident stuff since I do have some experience in go-kart racing. But no doubt, we shall never know how all the other racers will perform. I heard that some, or should be MOST of the racers tonight is having their debut race and debut attempt on go-kart. So, it would be better to race on the Best Lap Time.

RM28 for 10minutes drive and RM4 for the electronic timing system. A fair price? Indeed. It is much cheaper compared to the normal rate. But if you count in the so-called "members fees" of RM30, you gonna spend more to lower the loss.

Anyway, I don't care much about the money stuff especailly when dealing with such entertaining sport game. We should enjoy in the game, and ignore all the cost charged. Lets look forward what is going to happen tonight... 

Let's ROLL!!!!!

Ill in Melaka

I was in Melaka around 2nd October. And I was really ill. Suffering high fever, flu, cold, sore throat, headache, dizziness... I can't believe I drove there myself.
Things became worse as I reached there. I am totally sick and I can do nothing but the lie on a bed. I can do nothing but succumb to the devil of illness. 

"What am I doing there?" I asked myself, since that I should be catch up with my project proposal and loads of homework at home! Why I need to suffer here, drove everyone to the destination and stuck in the hotel room?  
I was in ill-conditioned. I suppose a sick person won't think in a logically, wisely and considerably manner. I certainly not the odd one. 

Sightly recovered on the next day.I took this picture inside the hotel elevator.

Sickness, will never weaken the "davors spirit" to take pictures...
