Florence, Italy, Bar Piccadilly Pizza, Grom Ice Cream, Peruzzi Leather, Quality Hotel Green Palace Europe Trip Day 6 Experiences

today i woke up at 7.10am.
first of all, this post was updated with the Free Wifi internet connection from Quality Hotel Green Palace that located at somewhere near Italy.
somehow i had been thinking a lot through this few day although i know i should keep myself relax while enjoying the Europe trip experiences.
honestly, i do hope that i can write every single details things that i encounter for most of my time from UK to Europe trip so that i can "see" whether it is worth come this foreign country such as joining the Tong Hang tour group or choosing a backpacking trip and others related things.
however, time really wait no one as i feel myself seems to be keep "competing with Time VS Money" because every minutes really counts as it is like counting my own remaining time in this "cruel" world.

anyways, i do record most of the sharing story by the tour guide from the bus using my phone's recording that i will publish to Soundclound after this 15 days and 14 night Europe trip journey ends because it is quite expensive for the bus coach tipping fee that cost for €60 in total out of €192 that we already paid as below.
frankly speaking, i don't feel like going for the French Meal in Paris for €40 but most of the people had joined and it is quite "funny" if i go to Switzerland but did not pay €58 for the Mount Titlis where i ended up selected all of it.
after i awakens, i just went to have my breakfast at the lobby and there was just bread, jams, cereal milk but do not have hams this time.
around 8.35am we make a move from the Lago Verde Pistoia (Tuscany) hotel as shown below. (lake view)
somehow the surrounding of the view of hotel was quite nice.

during the morning, the tour guide wishes us a Happy Moon cake Festival which is also known as Mid-Autumn festival but i this year i couldn't celebrate since i was still in Europe country.
besides, the coach also shared about the culture of Italy whereby they don't really change much as they wish to preserve their tradition.
around 9.55am we reached at somewhere near Florence (Firenze) and took some picture as below.
then we make a move again at 10.30am and i do feel that there is not much place to go as it seems like quite rush when joining tour.
when we reach the city, i continue to take some picture as shown below.
somehow i do have some thought again such as "what is the olden days army feelings when they conquer an empire and rape those girls" together with some "funny weird" thought.

after that, i just have my lunch at the Bar Piccadilly pizza restaurant that cost for €3.50 per slice together with Free Wifi (password = barpiccadillybarpiccadilly) available as shown below.
moreover, you can use their toilet because i heard other place would charge about €0.50~€1.50 for using the public toilet if you did not buy anything.
around 1.25pm i make from there after write a quick update of my "delayed few day ago blog post" and go to the Grom shop because they are one of the famous ice cream shop in Italy as it cost €2.50 with 2 flavour (vanila and chocolate) as shown below.
next, the tour guide gather us at the center of the town and we headed to the Peruzzi leather shop because they was one of the famous brand in Italy as shown below.
seriously there was a lot of Asian people buying those bags but i did not buy any of it.

somehow i do feel that it might be true that "most of our Asian culture is brainwashed with branded item" from foreign country just like one of the story shared by the coach.
for example, if "LV, Gucci, Prada, Miu Miu" or other branded stuff is being manufactured in China, there will be not much value but the price would be different if they manufacture in Italy factory using same cheap labor from China, Bangladesh and others cheap labour country, people would still buy it as long as the product is shown "Made in Italy" in their mindset.
furthermore, i do feel that "people only value others by what you wear" instead of the moral value you have as i heard some story shared by coach about the "Chinaman" related things. (perhaps i was hypocrite too since i am not rich, that's why can express so much? Maybe things will be different if i am rich in real life as i will not criticize what the rich people do, no idea since i haven reach that kind of Rich status level)

anyways, one important things that shared by the coach was "Don't Envy or Jealous others people" because we don't know what they had sacrifice behind their success story.
during the evening, i just buy some Pinochio pens for €1.20 as my souvenir and took some picture before leaving there at 3.55pm as shown below.
besides, a friend just shared that the data plan for mobile phone would cost about €15 in total as below but i did not sign up since i feel it is not necessary to keep myself "updated" in some way.
in fact, i don't really want to spend such money for having internet connection because the reason behind for every status posted or updates seems to be just "attention seeker" as it is like showing off to others people for "liking my picture" in Facebook. (really feel contradict when i still writing this post, it might explain why i don't feel like writing anymore sooner or later although i really like to write about the things i encounter)

around 5.50pm we reach some petrol station and i had spend another €6.50 for the spaghetti from Autogrill as shown below.
somehow the taste was quite "weird" for me since i don't really like to eat spaghetti but no choice due to not much food available as the tastier the food, the more expensive it will be.
actually the decision to buy food in Europe country was quite contradict because i would still think about the "conversion rate" because i can almost eat a wonderful Buffet dinner in Malaysia if it cost €10 (RM50+) for a meal since i had used pound sterling to exchange for Euro dollar that somehow did not have much different.
after having our dinner, we make a move around 7pm and finally reach the Quality Hotel Green Palace (Via Salaria 207, Monterotondo scalo, Italy) around 8.05pm as below.
well, the room was quite nice as it looks modern as the tour guide say this hotel was new.

actually i still think a lot when the coach keep sharing a lot of life story such as the younger generation (Green Horns) seems to be keep choosing job instead of working long term in a company when most of the boss complain that it is hard to employ young people to work.
anyways, i don't feel like thinking and worrying so much about my future because if i am not happy at this moment, how would i able to happy in future?
in fact, travelling "alone" in Europe without a group of ex-college classmate seems to be a disadvantage in some ways that only myself will truly understand about it.
at last, i still wish i can update my older post (17th and 18th Europe trip) so that i am able to complete my 365th blog post for this year but it seems that it is quite hard to make it happen and it start to be sounds "useless to update" no matter how much passion or i had enjoyed through whining writing in this blogging environment.

Vatican City, ‎Colosseum Rome Italy, Internazionale Chinese Restaurant Europe Trip Day 7 Experiences

today i woke up at 7.20am.
then i just went to have our breakfast and there was some "shortage of food" incident happened by the hotel's buffet preparation during the morning.
anyways, i do manage to eat the hams with bread although did not the food was "scarce" in someways.
around 8.50am the bus make a move from the Quality Hotel Green Palace and the tour guide continue to share some story.
somehow we reach some bus stop around 10.40am as the driver need to pay the entrance fee to Vatican city although the tour guide said everywhere in Italy need to pay money as it was controlled by "Mafia gangs" in someways.
frankly speaking, Italy city seems to be a "urban city" as it does not improve in its city development.

moreover, there was quite a lot of "beggar" begging for money and "Nigerian seller" along the way.
as we arrived the city, we need to queue a quite long time to reach the Church as shown picture below.
besides, i don't really know what to buy other than a fridge magnet as a souvenir and i had spend €2 for it with another €1 for a cap.
around 1.50pm i just have 2 pieces of Mc Donalds chicken burger for €2.40 total as my lunch.
somehow i do have some feelings about those "road side seller" about how they can make a living because those product that they sold seems to be not attractive.
for example, there was an engraving coin merchant selling those different engraving coins shape range from €10~€25 per pieces as below.
so how she can "survive" if no one buy it right because i can see it is time consuming to make one.

then we continue to follow the tour guide to some places such as the "wishing well", "Poisedon well" and others places as shown below.
during the evening, i just spend another €2.50 for the ice cream as shown below.
after that, the tour guide told us the direction to Colosseum Rome city and i continue to take some picture as shown below.
around 6.30pm we go to have our dinner at Internazionale Chinese Restaurant and the food was quite okay.
after that, we make a move from the city around 7.40pm and finally reach back the hotel at 8.30pm.
well, i do have some chat with an old friend and just feel quite meaningful about the conversation that we had in the hotel lobby.

honestly, i really feel very worry about my future after the long conversation because i still feel that i don't really have much unique skills in working.
moreover, i do wondering how was those senior last time who come to SHU senior and the Europe trip senior can buy so many stuff back to Malaysia.
furthermore, i do have my very own "dark secret commitment" although some people thought that i am from a rich family background that no need to worry about how to earn money. (luckily i don't have girlfriend, or else i might ruin the girl's life?)
perhaps this is the reason i continue my "lonely" life although will feel "horny" in someway sometimes.
in addition, who can repay me the RM40K that will almost depleted soon because it seems to be a curiosity about finding what is the "someone" feelings when come to study in UK and Europe trip.

perhaps i should have a positive mindset that i will definitely have the confident to earn back the money. (guess i was greed to hope that i can earn RM3,000 with my SHU degree certificate?)
in fact, i was still finding my very own opportunity about how to cheat earn money from others people.
frankly speaking, i don't really want to spend so much money in Europe trip because i still have the "typical calculative mindset" such as using €10 can buy a lot of things or eat a lot good food back in Malaysia.
at last, i still not able to write the 2 missing post for 17th and 18th post just like yesterday.
seriously who can really help me to write the whole experience because i really wanted to know for FREE without spending money.
before i end my post, below was the Chan Fong "大城心事" podcast recording for every Friday.
________________________________________
1) 第一位:David~他有位朋友的問題,他覺得對方變了很多是因為生意失敗,過後現在就處於一種自我封閉的狀態誰都不聯絡也不參與任何的社交活動。【陳峰大哥覺得他這位朋友的變化不一定是件壞事,能夠藉此機會讓他見識到更多不同層級的人事物,接下來他需要的是更多的鼓勵和支持】>>> Here.

2) 第二位:阿熙~她喜歡了一個人將近三年多了,上個月她終於向他告白了但是對方卻沒有反應,她知道該用什麽方法去繼續維持大家朋友的關係。【陳峰大哥認為說他不給反應也是件好事,至少沒有開始發展糊塗的戀愛更不必浪費時間去嘗試,甚至不會有什麽遺憾說當時沒有努力告白】>>> Here.

3) 第三位:May(35歲/已婚10年/育有一名女兒)~她一年前和丈夫因為生意上的事宜所以搬去東馬那裡居住,可是她發現老公最近變了很多,而且多次夜間外出喝悶酒;動不動就吵架甚至要鬧離婚。【陳峰大哥說信任很重要,往事重提對大家的將來毫無意義把過去忘掉才能迎接新的開始】>>> Here.

4) 第四位:阿里/禮~剛從外國讀書回來,目前在吉隆坡做工生活,目前又重新追回以前追過的女生(那女的在檳城),雖然還沒追到手但是又沒被對方接受和表示好感。【陳峰大哥叫他要再繼續更努力去追她,嘗試用盡所有自己的辦法和努力回去對方那裡找份工作以便能夠更進一步去接近對方的生活圈】>>> Here.

5) 第五位:May~她很希望陳峰大哥能把她罵醒,話說她喜歡上一個男人原來對方是有女朋友的(而且最糟糕的是那個男人還試圖想一腳踢兩船,同時要和兩個女人交往),她最後說著只是希望能夠儘早讓自己清醒過來。【陳峰大哥聽完她整體的故事簡介后勸她不能要這個男人,並且奉勸女人不要愛一個男人愛得那麼不清楚原因和癡心過度讓對方玩弄感情和和糟蹋自己的身體和尊嚴】>>> Here.

6) 第六位:小小(26歲)~聽不清楚她說什麽,只知道大致上她說自己的母親對她對於找伴侶的的审核非常的嚴格還有非常注重對方的背景和條件(據說她目前的男友是曾經離過婚而且還是有孩子的男人)。【陳峰大哥認為這可能是她父母對於她的擇偶條件有一定的要求而且也顯得比較苛刻,最後並且也提醒她需要先觀察好對方的為人性格、家庭背景甚至也包括他的前妻等等;然後再做打算】>>> Here.

7) 第七位(最後一位):阿燕~和同居男朋友拍拖大約六年左右,原來對方多年前曾經在英國和別的女人已經註冊結婚的的(故事說著說著才了解,原來她的這個男朋友當時也是被這個前妻給“騙”了)其實當她了解所有故事的來龍去脈之後也非常同情她的男朋友。【陳峰大哥建議她去尋求那些關於法律的事項去處理它,然後可以另外再重新安排雙方新的生活和進行傳統婚禮】>>> Here.

Pisa Italy, Chinese Ristorante Oriente, Imperatrice Pizzeria Kebab, Hotel Eden San Remo Europe Trip Day 8 Experiences

today i woke up at 7am.
after getting myself prepared, i went to have my breakfast at the Quality Hotel Green Palace.
well, this time they had separated the ham and cheese for each table so that the food is enough for everyone.
around 8.05am we make a move from the hotel and the tour guide just shared his story with us again.
somehow i just recorded the story shared by him as i really hope i can publish it so that i can listen it back in future as it was quite meaningful.
for example, the travel industry in Malaysia is quite competitive as some agency even paid money to get customer first that would spoilt the travel industry market.
another story shared was related to the "Sales executive" job such as the "Kua Kua Le" that is very popular in Malaysia especially the Lowyat and Sungai Wang area.

somehow i do feel that "getting information" is the most priority to not get cheated.
the next great information shard about the Italin was they was separated with 3 type of guy such as Macho which means muscular guy, Casanova which means playboy guy and Valentino is means the guy who is very loyal and sentimental to a girl.
besides, the sharing and caring thing is quite true also but it is not talk about the bad things from others people.
around 10.05am we stop by at some petrol station for the toilet usage.

12.20pm reach Pisa Italy lean tower.
1.35pm Chinese Ristorante Oriente
€5 euro souvenir
€3.30 cola sweet spuvenir
3.20pm make a move out

Dubai RM550+ thing has been "burned", feel sad.
5.45pm stopover autogrill, €1
8pm reach eden hotel
€5.1 at Imperatrice Pizzeria Kebab pizza kebab
Drink a little ref wine and limoncello

Monaco Monte Carlo, Fragonard Perfume Factory, Nice City, Campanile Lyon Hotel Europe Trip Day 9 Experiences

today i woke at 6.45am.
well, the breakfast set from the Eden Hotel was not very good as we was served with 2 pieces of hard break and some jams without any other much food.
around 8.05am we make a move from the hotel and the tour guide continue to share something as usual in the morning.
somehow i do feel quite tired and "half sleep" on the bus as i don't really listen much things.
around 9.10am we reach somewhere near Monako, France and walked to the Monte Carlo Casino.
there was a lot of luxury car such as Bentley, Ferrari, Audi R8, Porsche being displayed in front of those hotel as the tour guide said before that the city is full of rich people.
moreover, i do saw that you can rent/sit the Ferrari car drive by others but it is just 15 minutes time for €59.

around 10.35am we make a move from there and reached the Fragonard Perfume Factory at 11.45am.
there was a Chinese tour guide shared us the process of making perfume and how to differentiate it between the Eau de Toilette (EDT 10%) and Eau de Parfum (EDP 15%) because most of the perfume that we use had mixed with alcohol and water.
after that, we had been given a sample to smell such as the Belle Chérie, Etoile, Belle de nuit, IIe d'amour, Juste un baiser, Diamant and i liked the Belle Chérie the most but i did not buy it in the end.
somehow i just get to know that the salary for the "perfume specialist" was very attractive when she said it was about USD 2 million per annum.
around 12.50pm we make a move from the factory and went to the "Nice City town" where i just spend €4.50 for the Mc Donald's chicken set as my lunch.
then we make a move around 3.25pm from there to prepare back to our hotel.

frankly speaking, i start to feel that there is not much place that we can go when we're joining a tour guide group as you can see yesterday's main activity was just taking picture of the Pisa Italy lean tower.
around 5.50pm the bus has a toilet stop at some petrol station as we make a move around 6.15pm.
somehow there was no dinner covered and the bus stop by at another Autogrill related type restaurant around 7.30pm.
well, i was using a lot of time to think about what to buy as my dinner because most of the price food there ranged from €4 to €15+ for some food that i don't think worth for the price due to "after conversion mindset" such as a plate of rice with chicken can cost about €10 that is about RM50 since i use GBP to change for Euro dollar that don't have much different.
seriously it is quite "sucks" to keep have such mindset right?

in the end, i did not buy any dinner because it was a long queue to wait for Mc Donalds's Happy Meal (€4) as we depart from there around 8.20pm
anyways, i just eat some biscuit that i bring from UK as my dinner.
finally we arrived the Campanile Lyon Hotel at 10.10pm and i do feel quite tired.
honestly, i do have a lot of feelings to express but the hotel's Free Wifi is way too slow as my time is very limited no matter how much i want to express about it.
over time, there is way too much of things that i was worry and "jelly" about no matter how much i told myself not to think in such a way.
guess it is because of my past "habits" for writing every single details about my life that resulted me to become so calculative in the "TIME VS MONEY" matters again.
in fact, i do understand that the day i quit this blog might be the day i can truly be happy or never be "lonely" again.
furthermore, i do admit that i did "jelly" those "playboy guy" who can simply flirt with girl in Wechat as i saw some even have XXX with those "naive girl" which is something that i don't understand why some young girls seems to be so easy to cheat while myself being the most stupid guy as a "Valentino" in my own ways.

Geneva Switzerland, Berne City, Ibis Hotel Europe Trip Day 10 Experiences

today i woke up at 7.15am.
then i just get myself prepared and went to have my breakfast.
well, the breakfast was quite okay in Campanile Lyon Hotel as the croissant bread was quite nice to eat although need to "snatch" the ham in some ways as it was not very enough.
around 9am we make a move from the hotel and the tour guide shared some story as i just recorded it with my phone again.

10.40am stop by toilet.
11am make a move from petrol station.
a lot black money being stored in switzerland bank
11.45am reach somewhere near Geneva switzerland and took the picture of the broken chair.
then make a move around 12.15pm from the monument chair and walked around the Geneva fountain.
after that decided to change €20 to Swiss Franc (CHF) currency and my exchage rate at that moment was 1.2125 that can change for 24.25 CHF
around 1.30pm make a move from the geneva city head to the next Berne City.
stop by at some petrol station for toilet around 3pm, 3.40pm reach the Berne city and buy some food from Coop store.
Bern city to me seems to be a "bear" city in someway.
around 5.25pm make a move from bern city and listen to tour guide sharing's story.

somehow i do feel that the dollar to dollar comparison was quite meaningful as malaysia is oil producer company but couldn't able to provide cheap oil for own country usage as government said most of our petrol price already being subsidized a lot.
however, if you compare to with dollar to dollar usage, even country that do not produce oil can sell cheaper than Malaysia.
moreover, it is quite true that we already paid road tax but still need to pay for toll fee.
anyways, tourism cannot talk bad about own country things because it might ended up in jail or the "ISA" related thing.
finally reach Ibis hotel around 7.15pm.
worry about pass motion got a little blood this morning.
night just have bread with hams that i bought during the evening at Coop store.
at last, don't be so calculative in "something" again.
on the other hand, i do have some feelings again looking back at the place that my ex-college classmate went to Europe trip last time from their profile.
not really able to write well for this blog post as the time is so limited although the internet connection in Ibis hotel was good.

today i woke up at 6.20am.
after that, i just quickly get myself prepared and went to have the breakfast at the Ibis hotel's lobby.
somehow the food was quite okay as there was croissant bread and different hams again.
around 8.10am we make a move from the Ibis Winterthur city hotel and head to the snow mountain.
during the morning in the coach bus, the tour guide continue to share some story as usual.
suddenly there was a "sudden break" in front of the bus but i not sure what's the problem and the bus continue to move on after some moment.
then we arrived the Mount Titlis Engelberg of snow mountain Switzerland and waited quite a long time to get our tickets together with waiting for our turn to sit for the cable car.
*note: due to the shortage of time for blogging, i decided to use picture to describe the incident that happened today at the end of this post although i plan to re-update" all the blog post at the end of this month as it was so messy and unreadable*

_______________________________________
- spend Fr 6.70 for Switzerland pen souvenir
- the temperature in snow mountain was actually hot during summer, as what the tour guide said was true that most of the universal traveller shop will persuade people to buy winter clothes if they want to go to snow mountain was actually a "marketing gimmic" to push sales.
- 2.50pm reach back bus from the snow mountain.
- reach the police station at 3.30pm for the driver to report about the "accident" this morning.
- waited for about 1 hour+ in outside Switzerland police station, waiting to change bus.
- coach B bus arrived 5.15pm to fetch us to Lucerne city since the police investigation still haven finish.
- reach the city, went to the luxury branded shop to get free Rolex Swiss spoon.
- saw a Rolex watch cost Fr 149,300 that is equal to RM525,000 that can almost buy a Semi D house in Malaysia.
- China Asian very rich nowadays compared to European people.
- Mc Donald happy meal for Fr 6.90 as my dinner due to Migros supermarket chicken food finished, Mc D toilet need a password of "6688" to go in because the toilet fee isn't free in Europe country.






























- around 8.05pm make a move from the Lucerne city.
- tour guide continue to share information such as some other people has lost their passport just now in the city that is complicated to solve, moral of the story never ever lost your passport no matter what, Europe country is "messy" nowadays, even Switzerland who once claim as the safest city seems to be having trouble after the European Union.
- the bus driver need pay Fr 1,160 Swiss Franc first for the accident investigation, need handle driving license and passport, the traffic control is very strict and fine is very heavy, less police corruption if compared with Malaysia.
- compared to last time, as long got $$ can settle the driver but it is hard now since the law is strict, because last time driver would willing 10 Euro each person if extend overtime but not now, human right is strong.
- however, there was "loopholes" in every law.
- a bit complicated when counting the currency conversion, feel myself "rugi" (lost) in someway and told myself don't be so calculative.
- still think about the Dubai roundtrip fee being "burned".
- finally reach Enzo Hotel Mulhouse (30, Rue Albert Tachard, 68790 Morschwiller- Le- Bas France) at 9.50pm.

Paris Arc de Triomphe, Bateaux Mouches Boat Tours, Eiffel Tower, Jardin De Vendome Restaurant, Chanteloup Hotel, Europe Trip Day 12 Experiences

$

0
today i woke up at 6.50am.
then i get myself prepared and went to have the breakfast as usual every morning as it already included in our meal for the tour.
somehow the breakfast from the Enzo Hotel was just okay only as they don't provide ham's partly because it was "expensive" in some ways.
around 8.35am we check out from the hotel and the tour guide will share some story as usual after greeted us "Bonjour" in the bus.
well, i do feel that what he say was quite true about working after graduate to do any jobs without being choosy while waiting for a better opportunity.
moreover, it was true that a "habits" shall be practice when we're small.

for example, the Japanese school will teach the children to start wash toilet during the young age so that they will not feel "ego" in some way and will work from the scratch (bottom class) no matter he/she is from rich or poor family.
besides, the cultural in Japan is more hardworking although sometime it might have some "different culture" such as young girl would work in "semi nude/sexy" costume to earn money because doing that kind of job is shameful although i do have a feeling about "the world is about $$ again" since you can buy sex as long as you have $$ if you let go your "good guy image" for the prostitution related things.
furthermore, the translator jobs tends to be quite attractive because if you work for government translator, you might be able to earn RM800 per day.
therefore this might explains why a translator job can earn up to RM7500+ per month.

seriously i do doubt about those "common job" such as marketing or other business related field because those niche job seems to be earn more than those job that we always heard.
in fact, i still worry every single moment about my future jobs because no people will "feed" you if you're not capable to support yourself.
around 10.45am the bus stop for "toilet" as the journey to Paris was quite long.
then i just watched the "Perfume, The Story of a Murderer (2006)" movie inside the bus and start to feel that the movie was quite interesting although it was quite creepy in some way.
sometimes i do apply "myself in the movie" thinking that what if i was the guy who have the superior olfactory sense or known as "Big Nose" that can create the world's finest perfume such as the "angel perfume" that similar to love potion that can make a person fall in love with you.

however, i think the "love perfume" already exists as what we heard before about the "rape perfume" (迷奸水,催情液) although i not sure whether it is true or not.
frankly speaking, i do feel myself seems to be keep "finding the love potion" about how to make girls fall for you through my blogging experience as an anonymous guy but it seems that the answer was don't disclose so much information and "being fake+flirt+bad" if you want to have a higher chance to chase a girl.
in fact, i do admit that i was "dry" in someways when i saw those sweet couple having great time together since i never "pak toh" (in a relationship) before throughout my 23 years of living as a guy.
moreover, not much people would really understand the "lonely feelings" especially you're traveling in a romantic country such as Paris or Italy.
anyways, i don't feel like think so much again as i am trying to enjoy this Europe trip.

around 12.40pm the bus stop by at some petrol station for us to have our lunch and i just spend €6.30 for a piece of sausage with rice although i know it was so expensive when convert to Malaysian Ringgit.
then we make a move from there around 1.35pm and we finally arrived Paris at 3.45pm.
actually i do feel that the "European country toilet" was quite "stingy" because need to pay money to go for toilet as the car park guard locked the toilet when saw a lot of us queue up for it and the reason given was the toilet is only for people who park their car in the car park to use as below.
well, i just took some picture about the Arc De Triomphe statue and make a move from there at 4.40pm.
after that, we have our dinner at Jardin De Vendome Chinese restaurant and the food was just okay since it was a budget type of dish.
around 6.10pm we make a move and head to the Bateaux Mouches Boat Tours waiting to sit the boat.
the boat tour took about 1 hour and the Eiffel Tower will "bling bling" at 8pm for 5 minutes time.
how to take such picture as shown below when you see the original one's like above?
somehow i do feel a little "lonely" when watching the "Romantic Eiffel tower" and we make a move from there at 8.15pm.
finally we arrived the Chanteloup Hotel at 9.20pm and luckily they provided Free Wifi (pass: 1234577600) connection although it was slow.
at last, i still not able to "pick up+edit" my blog again although i know i will let it go very soon.
sometime i do wish i can be like the "Floyd Mayweather Flaunting His Insane Wealth" when i saw the picture about how rich people can simply use their money.

Paris Disneyland 20th Anniversary Europe Trip Day 13 Experiences

today i woke up at 7.40am.
after getting myself prepared, i just went to have the hotel's breakfast as usual and it was just okay only.
around 9.40am we make a move from Chanteloup hotel restaurant and reached Paris Disneyland around 9.55am as our hotel was quite near to it.
well, today's Europe trip activities was all about exploring the Disneyland for the whole day and i just realize that it is divided into two park which is Walt Disney Studio park and Disneyland park.
somehow i do wonder whether the ticket is cost for €34 or around €60 as told by the tour guide when i saw the ticket as shown below.
then i just walk down from the bus and the first scene i saw was below.
guess there was not much people as their opening was around 10am in the morning.

the first thing that we plan to play was the red dotted line shown in the brochures map as shown below.
therefore we quickly head to the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith and continued with the Twillight Zone Tower of Terror.
around 11.40am we went to wait for the Moteurs, action stunt show featuring Lightning McQueen as about the cars, motorcycle and others stunt show.
after the show end, i went to walk around the area and finally decided to have "CBO" Mc Donald's set for €7.60 as my lunch. (feel "money pain" as it cost around RM35 for it)
around 1.10pm we make a move from there and head to the Studio Tram Tour, Behind the magic while waiting for the Disney Parade at 2.45pm.
somehow i start to feel sad when realized that i had forgotten to charge my 2nd battery of my camera.

therefore i don't really can take any picture around 3.40pm other than using my "noob phone" which only have 2.0 mega pixel as i just feel not very happy about it since all the while i had always did not have the problem of not enough battery to use.
anyways, i just headed to the Disneyland park and played the 4 main red dot game which is the Big Thunder Moutain, Indiana Jones and the temple of Peril, Start Tours, Space Moutain Mission 2 while some other mini games such as the Pirates of the Cariibbean with some sight seeing places.
around 5pm there was another Disney Parade again at Disneyland park and we just waited at the Central Plaza at 4.45pm as i need to forfeit the fast past for Big Thunder Mountain.
anyways, the parade was great but sadly i am not able to record it with my camera as it is out of battery, yet i still feel bad about it that ruined my feelings.

during the night, there was a fireworks played as an ending ceremony for the 20th Anniversary extended of Paris Disneyland and we need to wait at 8.15pm as it will start at 8.30pm.
well, the fireworks was nice with a lot of Disney music and character being played.
after that, i just buy some souvenir and spend €18.50 in total for it.
around 9.30pm we make a move from there and reach back our hotel around 9.50pm.
due to "time limited problem", a quick update for this post.

- friend arrived, sharing backpacking experiences.
- miss a lot of detailed info, taken picture with Disney costume such as Mickey Mouse and Minnie with some other character.
- there was a souvenir that cost for €1 where i feel worth to buy as you can see the picture of different 6 Disney character.
- will update all the post once back, just feel that is that necessary to write it anymore?

Celebrate Cousin Birthday At London Satay House Malaysia

$

today i woke up at 9.15am.
actually i hope that i would able to wake up early although my excuse was helping some birthday preparation stuff for my cousin yesterday.
however, i feel "guilty" when i need to lie to my cousin that i have go out with my friend in London in order to give her a surprise birthday.
moreover, my whole body "jump" (looks scared) when she approach me during this morning and i think she must be thinking that i had done something guilty.
after that, i just ate some "Pandan" cake as my breakfast.
anyways, they had went out to Legoland and i was staying in house during the morning as i was writing my yesterday "heart sickness" post.

during the afternoon, i just get myself prepared and have some instant noodle as my lunch.
around 2.50pm i make a move from home and went to buy a birthday card.
then i took buy the "cheaper" daily travel card for £3.40 and took the train to Ealing Common at 3.50pm while reading the books written by my uncle.
around 4.20pm i arrived Edgward road and the first scene i saw was shown below.
somehow i just realized that there was actually no peak hour in Saturday and Sunday as it is better to buy daily travel card if while you're visiting London instead of using the Oyster card.
when i arrived the London Satay House Malaysia, it seems that they only open at 6pm and i just walk away from there to another place.
around 4.50pm i arrived Bayswater station and it somehow remind me about some memory.

honestly, i had a very "stupid thought" again when i walked to the Tawana Thai restaurant as shown below.
it is because that i was actually plan to have a meal at there for tomorrow (7th Ocotber 2013) since i had saw "someone" visited there during last year (7th October 2012) as a Sheffield Hallam University student.
anyways, the road along the Bayswater as below do recall some memory about the Four Season Chinese restaurant as i feel how i get "slaughtered" for the duck rice.
after that, i just took the tube station to Edgward road again to help to paste the picture to the wall for my cousin's husband request to give her a surprise.
actually i do feel myself still have the "owe my cousin" feelings since only myself know about it.
then i just take the underground tube station to explore around since the party start at 7.30pm and i still have some time left.

as i arrived High Street Kensington as below, it seems that most of the shop had already closed and i just withdraw £40 from Barclay's bank as i feel i might need some money to use before my English class start tomorrow.
around 7.15pm i arrived the London Satay House Malaysia again and help in some final checking for the presentation related things.
well, everything was going fine for the birthday party although i didn't talk much.
frankly speaking, it was quite a "scary" feelings for me to be there as i was the only few Asian and my English speaking was not very good.
however, i get to know one of the staff who helped me there setting some computer presentation related thing as she was from Malaysia too.

in addition, i just get to know friend from Syria and realized that the world is so small when he know my brother too as i saw the mutual friend from FB.
well, he just told me that actually we might have been met 10 years ago during my cousin wedding back in Malaysia.
overall the food at London Satay House Malaysia was just okay and it start with spring rolls, satay, sambal prawn, goat curry, coconut milk chicken, beef (i can't eat) and end with a dessert which is fried banana and ice cream.
around 11pm i took the train back to my cousin house as i feel "embarrass" in someways.
finally i arrived back home at 12.15pm and feel so tired.
in conclusion, i just can keep advice myself don't think in a negative way as i found that if you write about negative stuff, it might influence your thought and reflected in your real life action.

First Day Of Super Intensive English Course Experiences

$

0
today i woke up at 6.45am.
well, the reason i need to wake up early for this coming few weeks was because i had joined the super intensive english course at somewhere near Holborn.
after having some biscuit as my breakfast and get myself prepared, i make a move around 7.30am after bought the "ticket" by taking the West Ruislip route
well, i just feel that it is better t take West Ruslip instead of Ickenham underground tube station because it just took about 45 minutes to reach Holborn.
around 8.25am i arrived there and quickly headed to the English course school. (don't feel like mention the name due to afraid being searched)
after the registration, the school manager gave us a small introduction tour about the school.

somehow i just managed to know a little friend as they came from Italy, Switzerland, Korea and others.
during the morning, we need to sit for a 100 question on ARELS placement test version one and it took me about 1 hour to complete it.
after that, we are require to sit for another ARELS test but this time is about listening where we need to listen 60 question and write it on the paper.
the reason for this test was to test our English level so that they can group those people who have similar command of English to be in a group.
then the school manager had met us again and do some introduction and school's rules and regulation that we need to follow.
around 12.15pm the tour had finished and we need to find our class date and time.

during the afternoon, i just have my lunch at there and it cost about £3.50 but the portion was quite big as it consists of a main course, a bowl of soup, a fruit, a salad and others.
after that, i went to attend my first module class and it is about improving working relationship.
well, the activities that we do at that class was about role playing where we're represent a company and try to answer in few way such as aggressive, assertive and passive.
somehow i do feel the time passed quite fast and it is just only one hour.
frankly speaking, there was some negative thought arise and such as voices from past friend saying that "the English course is useless, it is just a waste of time and they was saying it was the truth" although it sounds more like demotivating feelings.
after rest for some time, i went to attend the second module that is about business vocabulary.

after the introduction, the tutor just distribute an article to us for reading and asked us to highlight those words that is beautiful to use.
besides, i just got to know few friend but it was just a basic introduction.
after the class end, i was invited by few Switzerland girls to join them for shopping.
at first i had agreed but i did not join in the end since i don't feel like spend $$ taking underground tube.
perhaps i should think in another way that i shouldn't keep convert the GBP to MYR currency as it would just demotivates me.
anyways, my excuse was to chat with my brother as the time zone in different.
in fact, i do phoned my brother via Skype after that and his advice was still the same that what done is done, why so care about others people saying that it is not worth to join?

guess he was right that maybe there is some people want to have such chance also cannot, why i must always think in the another way round?
moreover, he told me that now i shall enjoy this opportunity and try to know one new friend everyday since most of the student were from international.
around 5.20pm i make a move from there after finish writing my yesterday London's Satay House post.
actually there is a few thing i had missed out to say such as the all of the food i ate might cost about RM20 per person in Malaysia but it might sold for RM150 for a person after the currency conversion.
in addition, i didn't take the food picture because it was awkward for me to take picture especially there is so many foreigner people since our "praying food culture" (taking the food picture before we ate) is different for Generation Y.

overall i just get to know some international student ranged from Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Turkey, Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Somalia and others but it seems that i was the only Malaysian at there so far.
when i reach Holborn, it seems that a lot of people queue up to buy the ticket and i failed to buy the ticket i want.
anyways, the tube's peak season started and i just walk around there
somehow i jus feel that myself seems to be always saw how others people earn money but not myself.
for example, the new student who came to register for today would have about 30+ people, so imagine if one person pay at least £1000, it would be £30,000 revenue in the education business.
then i continue to walk around the nearby and took some picture as below.
however, the Freemaison library did not open at the night.

when i continue to walk to Leicester Square, i can't believe that i actually stand and waited for almost 1 hour just to get a cheaper underground pass for £3 that is the off peak price before walking back to Holborn again while memorizing the road that i walked pass.
maybe what my friend say might be true that the more i stay in London, the more i will spend which eventually make me feel a little "butthurt" in someways.
around 7.10pm i sit the Circles line route and feel that time is money again especially the longer i wait, the cheaper it would be.
finally i arrived back West Ruislip at 7.50pm.
later on, i just have my lunch with my cousin and having a lot of conversation.
well, i seems to be the one who can't really stand out from my comfort zone.

before i end my post, i would like to share a meaningful video about "we can't wait 30 years old to start 20 years old dream" (二十岁的人生不能等到三十才开始) as shown below or the link >>> Here.
guess there was a little hard true saying about myself when i read the article as shown below.
______________________________________________
Identity capital is what we do to invest in ourselves. Its culmination will be who we are when we are fully developed beings. Basically, as a twenty-something, it is time to start thinking about how the people we hang out with, the jobs we take, partners we have, and how we take care of ourselves will create the person we become. The summation of these parts in our lives (in addition to the other ways we spend our time) will add up to what we have to offer to potential employers, friends, and partners.

While this has always been true, now with the digital age, it is harder to shake our indisgressions. Instead of moving out of our college towns and keeping in touch with only the people who were real friends and people we want to have in our lives, Facebook makes it possible to keep in contact with every bad decision we have ever made, and have pictures of it posted everywhere.

A few things to think about:
If you know you hate something and it is a waste of your time and talent, find a way to stop doing it. If you work a dead end job that you loathe showing up for, start looking for another one. If you don’t qualify for the jobs in your field that you actually want, start looking into going back to school or adding on some certifications to beef up your resume. Don’t forget to work your networks. The people you know might lead you to potential job openings you would never even have known about otherwise. Be smart about the time you are spending doing things you don’t love.

Just because you enjoy something, doesn’t mean it’s good for you. While the mind might easily jump to half-forgotten nights with friends and too many wine coolers, that isn’t the enjoy I’m talking about. If you work at Payless and really love your coworkers and fake leather shoes but want to be a biochemist, you need to start investing in working towards that goal. If you love skydiving, but the cost is eating into your college fund or the money you are saving to relocate to a city you have always wanted to live in, it might not be the best allocation of your funds at this point in your life.

Your friends should be more than drinking buddies. It’s true. At the point in our lives, we should be weeding out the people who use us for our generous nature when it comes to the BYOB invite. When it comes to friends, think quality over quantity. Who would you call if you got a flat tire or needed help with a serious problem? Which friends would you call when your grandmother died? Which ones would you rather not even talk to when you are sober? These are the relationships you are going to want to maintain overtime.
Figuring out who you are isn’t going to happen overnight, but investing in your own interests will help you get there.

guess i shall stop writing again?

Talking With Korean And Japanese Girl's Experiences

$
0
0
today i woke up at 6.50am.
after getting myself prepared and have some biscuit as my breakfast, i make a move to West Ruslip around 7.40am.
somehow i just bought 2 single journey ticket because i don't need to wait for the long queue when i back from Holborn as the "tickets" was not sold at there.
however, the West Ruslip underground tube station seems to take a long time to depart as it started to move from there around 7.55am.
besides, the train seems to have some problem as it keep delay for some time along the circle line route.
luckily i was able to reach the school at 8.45am before it start at 9am because punctuality is very important to British people as they would feel disrespect if we arrived late for the class.

during the morning, the tutor teach about different narrative grammar that have past perfect, past perfect continuous, past continuous but i couldn't get used to it.
then it is continue by listening and talking skills working in pair or in a groups.
somehow i was "surrounded" with Korean girls partly because of the place i sat and most of the student in the class was female.
moreover, the majority of the class came from Switzerland but there was no people who came from Malaysia although i thought that the girl that is wearing "tudung" (Muslim's scarf) must be came from my country but she was from Switzerland.
actually if i think in a logical way, who would really want to spend so much money just to study English especially for guy since we have been learning English for almost 15 years since kinder garden in Malaysia.

anyways, i was having quite a good feeling to keep talking with the Korean girl since she was sitting beside me and the core module require us to talk more.
frankly speaking, the feelings was quite great since the Korean girl is quite beautiful.
if i would describe the feeling that i had, it might be like having one of the SNSD (Girl's generation) girl chatting with you where you can really chat with a real Korean girl although she make up a lot as it might be a "plastic face" if you know what i means.
moreover, she does "smells" like a sweet fruits which similar to the  "Fragonard Belle Chérie" perfume fragrance smell.
perhaps this might be the reason why "most of the guy" would rather choose to talk with beautiful girl and i seems to be wasting my time being "emo" during my past.

however, i do have a little "emo" since i might be the "poorest" at there when i heard that some of Korean girl had attended this Intensive English course for almost 40 weeks.
well, you can just imagine that if 4 weeks cost about £1300 and 40 weeks might cost for £13000 as you can imagine how rich for people who can study for such a long period.
guess what my brother said was quite true that most of the people who study abroad usually came from rich family and you don't need to let people know you're poor.
moreover, most of the people who want to be rich would usually mix around with rich people in order to be rich with the rich people networks. (上流社会)
overall the morning class was quite okay especially one of the part was about finding someone who meet the requirement list on the paper as i get to know few new people from Switzerland and Brazil.

after the morning class end at 12.30pm, i quickly went to attend the second class as it was about role playing part which similar to yesterday's class.
well, for this time i was acting as an "assertive role" and being praise by the tutor for having such a loving conversation with the Italian girl if i am not mistaken although it should be better for both of us.
after that, i just went to have my lunch at the canteen and bought 5 lunch set tickets for £15 because it would cost £3.50 if i only bought one like yesterday.
somehow i was quite full and i do feel "guilty" when i wasted a little turkey ham as i couldn't finish it as shown picture below.
while waiting for my next class, i seems to be improved a little when i took the initiative to talk with the Japanese girl.

somehow i just used a very "stupid excuse" to start the conversation by asking about how long she was studying here and how much it would cost.
well, it seems that she was born from Japan and went to China to study Chinese after some time and finally travel abroad to London to learn the English course from the beginner level for 10 month.
seriously i do feel that the world is full of rich people and told myself don't think about the negative side.
in the end, i just realized the Japanese girl's boyfriend was just behind me all the time and he would think that i am "chasing" her girlfriend as i do feel quite scary during that moment.
after that, i quickly went to my class and it was quite embarrass when thinking back again.
the class that i attend seems to be teaching the similar thing like yesterday with those macro-economy keyword although i won't use it again since i had finished my university.

besides, i do feel every second count and it is money when the class seems to be ended so fast and the tutor was to punctual to leave the class.
apparently, i don't know how to count the whether worth or not to study this course since everyday would be consider as a £60+ lesson no matter i had learn anything or not.
furthermore, i do asked myself what is my objective of waking up early every morning, spend the transportation to study at here just to improve my English.
after the class end, i didn't join the "Pub Night" event because i want to save some $$ as shown below.
well, Ken might be right about yesterday post that i should join them because it would be my first time hanging round with Switzerland people.
anyways, Peter was right too that i would not probably get invited for the next time.

around 5.25pm i sit the train and arrived West Ruslip again at 6.10pm.
during the night, i just have a little chat with a friend who still at UK.
somehow i just told myself don't think so much when i was spending $$ in UK while my friend working for it.
what i can really say that if you have a change to earn £1000 with food and accommodation included, do you still want to back to Malaysia.
anyways, we don't really know what can drives someone to make such decision unless you're very desperate although we don't know how hard work it is as what i know is starting for about 12 hour and only rest for 1 day every week as we don't know the hard work behind.
let's say if you can save RM3000 clear profit every month in your back, would you rather choose to stay in UK or back to Malaysia?

on the other hand, the money that had spend on underground tube station can go Barcelona as i saw it cost about 60 pound in total for go and back flight.
later on, i taken my dinner with my cousin at home as i will need to explain what i had been done for the day although i was feeling quite stress about it.
perhaps i should think in a positive way that at least i am having Free English education, why feel stress and should do my best.
guess it is probably there was too much of how life is from others people example if the people don't have the basic needs, there is no meaning to talk about education.
at last, i just told myself to improve little by little and must try to jump out from my comfort zone by taking the initiative to talk with people.

Education Is Rich People Games?

$
0
0
today i woke up at 6.45am.
then i just quickly get myself prepared and have the same biscuit as my breakfast.
after that, i went to buy my ticket as usual from West Ruslip and arrived Holborn at 8.35am.
during the morning, the tutor just gave us an answer sheet for our yesterday's homework without explain anything of it.
after that, it is continued with the vocabulary of new words and learning something that we use daily as shown picture below.
somehow i just feel that the thing that being teaches there seems to be a lower level for me since i know most of the things as i started to feel that it might be a waste of money where those "negative thought" start to flow through my brain. (If you place your situation in my shoes, how would you feel?)

next, we're require to talk about different English skills such as grammar, vocabulary, scenario, study skills and writing skills.
besides, i think it would be true that most of the Korean girl has went through plastic surgery or beauty related treatment when another Korean friend told me about it when the question was about "Have you ever done any local anesthetic" related treatment.
after the morning class end at 12.30pm, i just went to attend the next class at 12.45pm.
somehow i just feel that the teacher seems to be not very "professional" when he gave us an excuse that the listening session might not working just like yesterday and continue with giving us an article to read about "meetings are a waste of time" where it is just a chit chat session.
during the afternoon, i walked to the nearby Mc Donald's and ordered chicken mayo for £1 as my lunch.

somehow i start to have some "weird thought" again when i was alone where i wondered whether education is rich people games to pass their time or any other way.
it is because i start to feel that i seems to be "wasting my time" if i think in a negative way instead of learning things in a positive way.
perhaps it was due to of a thought that if i were to convert my daily "English education tuition fees+transport+food" cost, it would be around RM400 (£65+£10) per day.
seriously anyone can imagine how hard to earn RM200 for a day in Malaysia especially you're just graduate and the average people earn around RM1000 to RM2500 for a month.
moreover, i just saw some news saying that people in Malaysia are complaining the government for not approving the RM500 BRIM as some claim they are earning RM900 a month which i not sure true or not.

therefore not much people will understand that i am being so particular about the money spend for a day since i did not come from a rich family.
frankly speaking, i was feeling quite "funny" about myself that why that day, before Europe Trip start that i agree to stay for the English course just to take up the challenge after being persuaded to think about it again.
well, if i didn't accept it and being reject it after 3rd time, i might be happy going back to Malaysia but on the other way that i am avoiding the problem and disappoint my cousin's favor and effort. (欠人家人情)
on the other hand, one of my friend had started to work in the kitchen related job and might able to save £600 (RM3000) every month if he did not spend much on other things since the salary was about £1000 for a month as accommodation and food is provided too.
therefore this might be one of the reason why some Asian people would prefer to "jump aeroplane".

in fact, i don't think much people can save an amount RM3000 if your salary is RM3500 back in Malaysia.
however, not much people would understand the hardship of the story behind because the kitchen related job start from 12pm to 11pm and last for 6 days a week.
all of this happening might be due to the low salary in Malaysia where the salary seems to be not changed much after 10 years but the living cost keep increasing.
so would you like to accept this kind of job if you place yourself in another person point of view?
around 2.30pm i went back to the school to attend the next class and it is about the economic related stuff.
the teacher gave us an article about the great deceleration and continue explain some economic term.
honestly, that session don't really help me much since i have been almost graduate soon as i was waiting my SHU degree's result released in this coming 22nd October 2013.

after the class end, i didn't asked to join the one of the Switzerland's classmate birthday as i don't wish to spend money for food.
around 6pm i make a move from the English school and walked to Holborn underground tube station.
well, i seems to be start adapting the local culture where people would always read those free London Evening Standard newspaper inside the train.
finally i arrived back home at 7pm and felt quite tired but i start to feel stress about this coming Friday's presentation where i need to talk about my own's country economy. (must say all the good things about Malaysia since the video will be recorded~ >.<)
later on, i just have my dinner with my cousin and talk about today's happening although i felt stress during the moment of telling her about the things i learned.

besides, there was a lot of other's people story and i did feel a little stress when i wonder what it would be if it was happening to me?
after that, i have a quite long conversation with her husband and trying to understand more about the ways of British people speaking.
before i end my post, i would like to share an interesting picture about "Don't Compare Yourself With Others" by Zen as shown below.
____________________________________________
Throughout life, from childhood, from school until we die, we are taught to compare ourselves with another.
Yet when i compare myself with another, i am destroying myself.
In an ordinary school where there are a lot of boys, when one boy is compared with another who is very clever, who is the head of the class, what is actually taking place?
You are destroying the boy, that's what we are doing throughout life.
Now, can i live without comparison with anybody?
This means there is no high, no low, there is no one who is superior and the other who is inferior.
You are actually what you are and to understand what you are, this process of comparison must come to an end.

If i am always comparing myself with some saint or some teacher, some businessman, writer, poet and all the best, what has happened to me? What have i done?
I only compare in order to gain, in order to achieve, in order to become.
But when i don't compare, i am beginning to understand what i am.
Beginning to understand what i am is far more fascinating, far more interesting, it goes beyond all this stupid comparison.
To understand yourself is the beginning of Wisdom.
____________________________________________
honestly, i was "speechless" because all the while i had been listening to what's others people said and ended up "the me" of myself now.
in fact, i think it is useless for me to give advice to others people since myself was not successful but maybe you can get some idea after finish read my whole life for the past 5 years as you might be able to "awaken" if you're still 18 years old this year for not following the mistake that i had made.

Get Caught By Police For Buying Child Ticket On London Underground Tube Station

$

today i woke up at 6.30am.
after getting myself prepared and have some Pandan cake as my breakfast, i make a move from the house around 7.40am.
somehow the weather was so cold during the morning which is quite unusual like yesterday.
after i had bought the "ticket", i just took the newspaper and read on the underground.
upon arrived to the underground tube station, it seems that someone is blocking me ahead and i thought it was a someone who will ask for money.
then i just say "no no no" and walk away but another guy come ahead me and i showed some badges but i still trying to walk away.
however, the two man asked the police to stop me and i start to realize something.

at first, the two policeman asked me about the problem and the another two guy come in front of me said want to check my tickets but i said i had put inside the machine.
somehow i just realized that the two guy was actually something like "undercover police" because they did not wear any police uniform.
after the police got my name and address, they passed me to the another undercover police.
then the undercover police start to questioned me something and i just feel that "Shxt just got real" when he something like "You are not under arrest, but everything you said will be recorded and etc" and i start to feel so petrified as my whole body start to shake since the weather is so cold.
well, i was wrong in this case because i thought i can save some money when my friend suggested that actually you can buy the "student ticket" (child ticket) to get a cheaper price.

however, due to my "save cost" mindset, it had caused me into a trouble that i never thought that there will be someone check our ticket after passing through the machine.
seriously i was so worry after i had been caught by police for buying child ticket on London underground tube station and i really feel regret for doing it.
in fact, i had been always following the rules when i arrived London last time where i had been paying a lot of $$ using Oyster card before my friend told me about "this saving cost" information buying the tickets from the machine counter.
after the undercover police got my name, address and date of birth information, he told me that he will pass it to the underground station and see they will decide either give me a warning letter, a fines, getting into court or probably ended up in jail if i am not mistaken before letting me go. (i do beg for giving me a chance)

frankly speaking, i really felt ashamed about myself for doing such things as an international student because it would resulted me having "no face" to face my relatives if my cousin found out and she will know if the police sent a letter to her house.
honestly, i never think about faking my name, address or any information and feel that my "brain can't turn fast" (头脑转不快) if i can think about it for getting escape.
upon arrived the class late for 20 minutes, the "getting caught by police" experiences couldn't get out of my mind since i was wrong in this case and i couldn't really focus the English course.
during the talking session, an Italian friend suddenly asked me that he saw me at tube station with the police this morning and i was embarrass to say anything about it.
after the break time session, i quickly phoned my brother and talked about it.

then he comforted me a lot when i was worry whether i need to tell my cousin about this matter.
however, his suggestion was don't talk about it to my cousin because it doesn't really bring any different as i can talk about it later if the police had sent the letter to the house.
actually as i think deeper about it, i think all the "evil roots" that happened might be came from the negativity thought that i received from other people's thought that influence me such as "why want to spend so much money in UK while you can have the better one's when back to Malaysia" and others word.
for example, a plate of Chinese chicken rice that cost for RM5 in Malaysia is sold for £8 (RM40) in UK. therefore i would somehow cut down my expenses when eating outside.
in the end, i might be a great failure example of a person who listening too much from other people opinion that would eventually lost myself in the end.

on the other hand, i do feel myself seems to be exploring the "rich people" related thing and still not sure what is the real answer because different people have different opinion.
as i went back attending the class, i seems to be getting a little relief after listening to a lot of my brother's comfort but somehow i start to think about it after the next class.
during the afternoon, i went to the nearby Mc Donalds to have my lunch and it was coincidence to meet some Switzerland friends at there.
guess what? one of them asked me about this morning incident with police again and i just simply answer about it where it started to "haunt" me again.
guess this is what people call for "If you don't want anyone to know what you've done, don't do it" (若要人不知,除非己莫为) as i really get a strong lesson from it.

for now, i was feeling so embarrass because it seems that a lot of people from my school know that i was having some trouble with the police during this morning.
anyways, the next class was about the preparation of presentation slide for my country's economy as we need to present own's country economy for tomorrow.
apparently, i seems to be not having much focus after so many "evil + negative thought" that pop up in my head and i just phoned my brother again after all the class ends.
well, this time i had been scolded by my brother because i was like a girl that keep thinking the same problem all over again.
according to him, this kind of case is so small if compared to the working world and said "why you always think like the end of the world, how would you able to overcome the big challenge in the world in future?"

if i can think it rationally, the worst case scenario would be getting fine since this is my first time for breaking the rules and said "why you always keep repeating the same thing from the afternoon like a girl, since it already happened, then just get on, wake up the next morning and continue with a new day" is better right?
moreover, there is so many big criminal such as killing happening around the world and i don't think the police will lock you up in jail if you just "cheated"£1 or £2 pound money.
in addition, he just say that don't let all this negativity thought haunting you because you will always say bad about anything even if the things was the best of the world.
for example, if i always think that this English course is waste of time and money, then it will be, why you so care about how your friend said about it, can't you just enjoy this course and make the best out of it since not much people would have such opportunity.

somehow i feel that this might be the main reason of not having a "successful love relationship" because what girl's really want to see is a guy who have confidence doing anything instead of "scare this and that" right?
in the end, i think the most precious advice i listened from my brother when he told me that "what had happen is already a fact, i want you to think all over again about the things that happened today and learn a valuable lesson from it or look it in a positive way such as that this would be a very special experience just for myself" because it might be a fate that God is giving me a test to know how i would face it.
in fact, he expected me to be more mature a bit as i have been working in real life before as i should know about how things goes around.
over time, i really feel that there is so many things to worry about as i grown older and the things that actually means a lot to me was actually just a small matter in others people point of view.

perhaps having too many assumption or thought would be just a part of procrastination?
anyways, i just make a move from the school around 7pm and wouldn't dare to break the underground rules although my heart was feeling down when passing by there.
overall today's happening really freaks me out and this kind of experiences certainly not very good to have because it was so shameful and disgrace if the people i know find it out.
finally i arrived back home at 8.40am and have my dinner with my relatives.
well, we do talk a lot but i didn't told her what had happened this morning although i told her that the reason i feel to back to my country was because afraid that i "lose" my earning ability for every moment i spent here.
however, her advice was don't feel it's too late to earn money when comparing myself to other friends who had already start to earn money.

guess she was right that i had nothing to lose other than that unless i didn't improve or learn anything.
besides, it seems that comparing is good if you don't wallow yourself in self pity in the end, but instead do something to change it or to improve that is quite meaningful.
perhaps the only person that you need to compare yourself with, is the person you were yesterday.
according to some website, it seems that the "If the police didn't punish you there by telling you you've been issued with a fine or anything then, it might be just a scare tactic to stop you doing it again. But, now they have you on record so they can watch out to see if you'd repeat the incident. Don't worry about it too much, worst comes to worst you'll get a letter sent to you explaining what they intend to do such as issue you with a small fine. Just sit tight and don't worry about it, people get caught doing that thing every day and it won't get you a criminal record unless you become a re-offender" which i not sure true or not.

anyways, the penalty fares increased from £50 to £80 from the 2 January 2012, this will be enforced from 19 February 2012. (The penalty fare is £80. This will be reduced to £40 if you pay within 21 days)
therefore from now onward my "daily cost" would be around RM450 including all the tuition fees for just a day and it is quite scary to think about it. (if i never make such decision to stay at my relative house, i wouldn't be so down? no idea?)
later on, my relatives have helped me in having a better presentation style but i feel a little too late for me to become like her talking with a strong confidence and interesting.
at the end this post, i do feel afraid about this whole morning incident because it was my first time to face the police and its truly had given me a good lesson. (worry get fine/court or let my relative know about it)
in fact, my final last decision was to keep secret about the things that happened to me this morning and writing this post was just a way of confessions in order to feel better. (guess UK is not a place for poor people, talking to myself: lonely reload, please be positive a bit lah, so miss my country now although no use to regret about the decision that had being made)
at last, i feel myself a little "stupid" for writing my feelings of life for so many years and tomorrow might be my last post although it is quite sad to let it go after wasted my time for so long.
goodbye?

I Love And Hate Blogging So Much Until I Quit

$

today i woke up at 4.40am.
well, it seems like a perfect date to "die" (44) in Chinese readings when i look at the clock. (hinting me that this day might be a good day to say goodbye for something?)
after getting myself prepared, i make a move from home around 7.35 and the weather nowadays was so cold in UK as i start to understand why British people often talk about the weather beside than saying "Hello" when meet up.
around 8.30pm i arrived the underground station and looks like the "getting caught" incident does remind me about my own mistake as i just told myself what had past, shall be past now while waiting for "prosecuted" if they take further legal action.
anyways, i feel that the reason i got spotted was because of my own body language that looks guilty.

it is because i had moved myself from the left lane of the counter to the middle lane and this caused a suspicious feelings.
during the morning class, the tutor continue to teach about the collocation and speaking related topic.
somehow i do feel that the Mexico classmate that sit beside me seems to be not talking much with me during the speaking session as it sounds "perfunctory" (敷衍) as our session end.
however, after the swap place with another girl, it seems that there is a lot more topic to talk about and this might prove that when guy talk to guy, there is nothing much to talk about no matter you're from which country or what races if we didn't know each other at first.
besides, i do have some good conversation with the Korean girl after the tutor swapped our places as we can talk longer but get stopped after some time.

during the morning break, we are require to go down to the canteen for a small gathering because some friends are leaving after completed the course.
frankly speaking, i do have a feeling that somehow "certificate" can be bought as long as you have 85% of attendance to the class without having any examination to qualify whether we are fail or pass for this short term English course.
after the short break, we continue the next session and i just get to know a friend from Loas as he looks like a Chinese but migrated to Switzerland and he knows a lot of different language such as German, French, Switzerland, Loa, Cantonese and others.
then we went to the student lounge as the tutor shared 3 different English learning website link for us to explore around.

somehow i do feel that sometimes "information" is the value of our course that we paid for and the three English learning website link that you can learn for free is the Headway Oxford University Press, Exam English and Flo-Joe sites.
therefore we just spend about 1 hour learning from those sites which i actually feel that we can do it at home and it sounds like no need to come to study the English course.
after the core class end, i continue with my module class and the tutor teaches the "Talking about experiences" topic to socialize.
somehow i do agree that whenever we don't have anything or can't think of a topic to talk about, we might able to start with by asking other people past experience such as jobs, people you meet, holiday, hotels, restaurants, books, films, weird stuff, cities, jokes and more. 

well, i do get to know a adult new friend from Libya and worked in Dubai as i can feel he seems to be a quite successful person but just weak in English.
besides, it seems that he was facing the similar problem when i shared about one of the weird things which i has ever taste to me when I was in Paris when i had eaten the Escargot from the French meal as he experience it after his business meeting dinner.
what i am trying to say here is that if i had never have such experience, we might not able to talk about the similar things that we encounter.
therefore this might be the reason of why my brother said before that "in order to be rich, you can try join the rich people network even if you're poor" as long as you didn't tell anybody and you're confidence about yourself that is the main factor.

it is because you can predict that people who usually study here seems to be came from rich background except me.
for example, study at here for about 6 weeks (1 month+) already cost about RM10K+ and i can't imagine how rich is those people who study for 6 month or 1 years at here just for learning English.
in fact, this weeks seems to be "burn/boom" RM2000" and i feel like learning nothing much although every second at here is cost for money.
during the afternoon, i just ate the sandwich that i brought from home and there was a Chinese girl sitting in front of me at the canteen.
somehow i took a "huge courage" to greet her and got to know she is from Hong Kong.
as we added each other on social network, i just know she was just 18 years old and in a relationship.

therefore i do feel that most of the international student from other country who study abroad seems to be having relationship at the young age.
moreover, i felt myself seems to be quite old whenever most the people that i meet aged around 18 to 20+ years old.
in fact, i was training my own bravery when talking with girl and suddenly feel that how great if i able to do this when i was younger because as i old older, i feel reluctant to change myself.
as for the "waste food" related part while i was still in canteen, i not sure whether farmer will earn lesser money if people stop continue to waste food when our parents keep telling us not to waste food, or else kids are starving in Africa" told by our parents.
somehow it is quite controversial when we think in another way round rather than the common thought.

during the evening, my presentation about my own country economy was not good because i forgot some point although the audience is very less.
however, the tutor say it was great but i do feel a little sarcastic in some ways.
after the class end, i just stay until night only start to make a move from there as i was planning to go home after the peak hour ends at underground station although the different was just only £2 different.
besides, i do phoned back my parents and my mother just saying's "don't think of the past" related stuff.
well, it seems that i do manage to put it at the exact off peak hour time which is 7pm and not really sure if earlier 1 minute touch the card would be affect the money deducted or not.
while i was on the trains, i tends to be dwell about a lot of problem that arise and suddenly feel that maybe this is really a good time to quit blogging for a while or maybe forever.

frankly speaking, i just feel that i don't really have any "identity capital" that i had done to invest in myself as shown video below or the link >>> Here.
it is because i might realized that all the while, 6 years+ in specific, i have been doing almost the same thing everyday as i didn't improve a lot, even if it just use 1~3 hour of my time everyday for writing my life, i don't really gain much and sometime feel frustrated/hate about it.
guess it was true that if you know you hate something and it is a waste of your time and talent, find a way to stop doing it and don't just because you enjoy something, it doesn't mean good for you.
it is just like looking at all those Facebook status updates or news, it doesn't really help you explore a lot other than i keep "lie" to myself that i might learn something but it tends to be a way of procrastination instead of bringing something really usefull that add value to myself.

moreover, the whole 3 month of Sheffield Hallam University , every weekend trip from the Hubs, and Europe trip experiences has been almost completed as i had gained the similar experience of what my ex-college classmate from Tarc College for Advance Diploma in E-Commerce and Marketing about how those "education money" is being spend.
furthermore, those "internal linking for my own SEO game" knowledge where i was trying to prove that i was right seems to be getting not much in return other than wanting people to understand more about myself as shown picture below.
it is because "internal linking" is normally use to sell some product but i had do it on the another way round where i am "self promote myself "just like the innovation of loneliness as shown below or the link >>> Here.
please spend some time to view the video to get more understanding about "lonely" feelings.

the even more "funniest" part is that i am using an anonymous identity which is totally bring no benefits for myself when i "hiding in the dark" as i rejected a lot of blogger event invitation due to this matter.
somehow i do admit that being anonymous was just a way of irresponsible because you can say anything you like since no people would know about who you are in real life.
however, things goes awkward when someone know about your identity and the way of expressing my true opinion was the another way round of what i act in real life seems to be "killing" the friendship.
sometimes, i do wished i had not written some of those sensitive things back then for being honest although day will never come back as you can't travel back in time.
finally i arrived back home at 7.50pm and it seems that i was lucky that the fare charge for £3 for off-peak hour instead of £5 because if i reach the underground station at 6.59pm, it might consider as peak hour.

so this story just tell's that money is time because even 1 minute could bring a different as i had waited from 4pm until 7pm (3 hour) just for getting the off peak hour discount and the more you waste your time, you will discover those side effect in your later time.
after having some spaghetti as my dinner, i continue to write my "last blog post" (probably) and it was true that the more you recall back the things that happen, you will getting more tired.
perhaps i might start to understand why all those blogger who once active had decided to quit their whole blogging effort no matter it is 3, 4, 5, 8 or 10 years+ blog.
on the other hand, life is so much story and i do afraid about those "Hell video" but when thinking back, it just make me feel worsen as what Anonymous said before that if i want to be "pure", i shall just go Temple become a monk instead of studying or working.

besides, i would like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for all those people who once came up and left me a valuable feedback and for making my "lonely" day to not so lonely.
seriously i shall give myself sometime to take a rest although it was sad to leave that i couldn't complete my 365th blog post for this year and all the effort of time and money that i spend on writing my life seems to be wasted.
perhaps from the beginning, i shouldn't choose "lonely" as my keyword as what i say/write might somehow influence my real life.
basically this blog post was just a confessions of a person who being so addict to blogging for regret what he had done in life.
apparently i was so "funny" to become so stupid "Sha Zi" (傻子) for writing so many stuff.
anyways, i am just quitting this blog but my Lonely Reload Facebook page might be still active.
honestly, there is far too much things that i want to express out but in the other way, the more i want to write down, the more stressful i would be.
what i am trying to say is if you had spend 6 years+ for having "emo+negative" emotions, you need to spend at least 3 times the effort which is 18 more years to be happy or positive and the people surrounded with is also one of the important factors.
(你是什么人便会遇上什么人;你是什么人便会选择什么人。总是挂在嘴上的人生,就是你的人生,人总是很容易被自己说出的话所催眠。我多怕你总是挂在嘴上的许多抱怨,将会成为你所有的人生。)
perhaps in future, i will be back but i don't think i will writing the same style anymore.
GOODBYE~~~ THANK YOU so much for reading my blog, how irony if i never start all this nonsense from the beginning right?

Confession Of A Blog Addict After 7 days, But Always Look On The Bright Side of Life

$

How are you this morning?
What are your plans for the weekend?
That's the two line that I would've heard during the English course class that I currently pursue in London. For most of my reply and greetings with my classmate, it would be mostly positive although I make out some story that I had some planning such as watching cinema movie during the weekend.

Well, it has been a tough week for me since I had decided to quit my blog after so many years.
Hey, but why I am back now? Is there anything that I had left out or I didn't kept my promise to QUIT FOREVER where I once hated and loved so much?

Frankly speaking, there is too much thing that I want to express about especially for a "Blog Addict" person like me although I have never try any drugs before. However, the feelings is quite similar to smoking as what I had heard before from my friend sharing. At the first day when I stop writing, I thought it is quite okay that I can overcome it but it seems to get worsen for the following day. If I am not mistaken, I didn't have much concentration on study after although I know that I do not think in a rational way. In fact, this was the 7th day of quit blogging and I was testing about myself whether how many days I can overcome this kind of bad attitude. In fact , I can say that it is so true that if you keep continue doing the same thing over and over again, it would eventually become a habit that is hard to stop, and if you try to stop, it might make your whole body feeling uneasy that something is going wrong. Anyways, it is just a confession of a "blog addict" after 7 days of quit writing, but I will always look on the bright side of life.

As for now, I would like to list out few of the thing that I shall look in a bright side of life for making the decision to study the English course as below.
1) Be more brave to talk with people because every minute is consider as money.
2) Improve your English in some ways.
3) Get to know new International friend from Korea, Switzerland, Italy, France, Brazil, Germany, Libya, United Arab Emirates, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Hong Kong, Japan, Colombia, Uzbekistan and much more country in future.
4) To learn different culture and heard new story shared which is totally different with what I experience during my stay for 3 month Tarc degree summer program  in Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) because most of the student at SHU is from Malaysia, even if there is International student as your housemate, it is still limited to just few people.

Beside, today's class I do notice something about myself that I shouldn't be so "confident" during the discussion of the answer whether right or wrong with the Korean girl that sit beside me. It is because the way she learn English can be quite detail as she pointed out the lesson teach by the teacher is past continuous or simple past perfect tense by checking back with my answer. Guess I was being too "ego" when I thought my English is right but the fact is incorrect. So this small incident really taught me that I shouldn't think that it is not "worth" to study partly because of friend's influence. Actually there is more benefits if I try to think in a brighter side just like whether you can see the glass is half empty or half full as shown below.
It is just like how you express your feeling because good or bad is just depend on how a person can talk about it. Moreover, i do realized that "the more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present" which is quite true.

Next, I think it is true that the way you speak or thought might influence your real life. For example, if you keep said the things is good, it would eventually be good and vice versa. Therefore I might start to understand why British people like to say good things no matter how bad although it is quite sarcastic sometime. Honestly, I have been scolded by my brother again during this week when I phoned him saying that "I feel not Worth to study this English subject because I don't think I had learn much and I might able to learn the same things back in Malaysia" which somehow influence by friend's opinion. However, my brother reply was "I don't like your this kind of negative attitude because it is just first week, or maybe second week, you already say cannot, if you keep saying you don't learn anything, then it will eventually become true until the end of your English course, there will be reason why this college would able to sustain for so long because no people will come to learn if it is useless right" and i was speechless.

Apparently it is true that "Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings and emotions" because I admit that I keep let all those friend and people's sharing about "Not Worth To Study" this English course things especially some childish thought such as "Wahlau, you study in English in Malaysia for over 15 years, still need to pay so much money to study English meh?" that is quite hurt. Anyway, I shall stop writing those negative stuff because it would just "devour" me in the end even if i didn't really meant it just like the Law of Attraction.

On the other hand, I do have a thought when I have the courage to get to know a new friend by talking with a Colombia guy since the task I gave myself was "Try To Know One New Friend Everyday". According to his sharing, he had taken 6 month off from his job as a programmer in his country just to come here to study English and it is all paid by his own. So I start to wonder that this course must have it's own value because no people will so stupid to pay for something if they didn't learn anything right? This is just like a similar case of one of the Saudi Arabia friend that his company pay his expenses just to study the English at here. Seriously I do know that it is not cheap to study here as I can calculate the fees especially they are studying for 6 month to 1 years. Therefore this might be the secret of "Rich People Meet With Rich People" and poor people might able to get the Rich People network. This theory might be similar to the "Poker card theory" because if the table minimum bet is 1 Million, then all the player in your same table must have the similar asset that you have.

Somehow I think I had "missed" the chance to socialize because everyday this school have a socialize program but most of the activity cost about £10~£30 excluding the underground transportation fee. Therefore I still wonder whether I should allocate some money for "socializing" to get connection/networking with people although I feel not worth when convert back to Malaysian Ringgit. However, if I think on the another way round that if I could consider that as a payment to stay in my relative house as it is free, I would feel better although I feel I was an "au pair" sometime.

At last, my next coming decision was whether want to join the Halloween party or not, followed by the working experience in UK without any salary, then another decision whether want to stay until Christmas in London or just straight go back to Malaysia after completed the English course. Overall it is just about the decision that I made because no people can make you happy and you can't make everyone like you. Of course most of us wish to be loved by people but the fact is we can't expect everyone to love us. Furthermore, the world will not end if people don't like you and it is true that not much people will have so much time to care about your problem. So you can either be jealous of what you don't have or be grateful for the thing you have because happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have in life.
Suddenly I feel so happy after expressing out my thought and my result had been released as I had successfully graduate with a Degree certificate. Perhaps I still need more time to cure my "Blog Addict" disease and hopefully there is no more regret after this. Sorry for being "negative" in some ways and it is true that "Everybody wants happiness, nobody wants pain, but you can't have a rainbow without a little rain" right? See You in Next Day, Month, Year? Maybe one positive blog post that can create value for people every week? (Yay or Nay?)
=D

What Is Your Next Action Plan?

$

Action Plan, what is that?
An action plan is a list of document that consist one or more action in order to achieve a certain goals. According to business dictionary, it is a sequence of steps that must be taken, or activities that must be performed well, for a strategy to succeed and consists of three major elements as shown below.
(1) Specific tasks: what will be done and by whom.
(2) Time horizon: when will it be done.
(3) Resource allocation: what specific funds are available for specific activities.
Well, the reason I mention this word is probably that I am being sarcastic for not having an action plan in my life.

As you guys know, I have mention before from my previous post as a "blog addict" that I shall make some changes in my life in order to become more "mature" and responsible about the things that I had done. Frankly speaking, I had to admit that I was procrastinate in most of my "free" time after I had decided to quit become attention seeker blogging last week when I felt it is meaningless to continue to do so. However, I seems to be on the another way round which is totally different with what I had plan although I know that I must have an action plan to do it. For example, when I research on the "buying script and website creation" related thing, I seems to be get demotivated when I do not found any answer and ended give up. So it just means that I had wasted another 4 hour again for a day when things doesn't seems to be quite right.

Actually I do understand that the reason I feel demotivated was most probably on my own problem but it really need a lot of effort to "change" as it couldn't be done by just saying especially it is a "habit" after so many years. Moreover, I discover that the things I said or do will eventually affect myself. For example, my writing style for my blog is normally without much capital letter after full stop and I neglect the grammar error most of the time. Now, I am facing a hard time to correct back my grammar after I have written the wrong way for almost 6 years+ and it is hard to change the "i" into "I" capital letter. Guess I was being too "ego" to ignore the mistake when my mindset was just writing for fun but ended up affected my current progress in English writing skills during the super intensive English class.

In addition, I do feel that I seems to be keep repeating the same routine during this English course although this week is consider as 3rd week and there is still 3 more weeks to go. Basically I would wake up around 6.30am+ as usual, took the London Underground tube, study the class until 4pm, spend 3 hour surfing the internet for more information about my "future action plan" or being procrastinate, followed by taking tube underground at 7pm after peak hour just to get £3 going back home. Upon arrived home, I am thankful to my cousin that she would be preparing dinner for me and marks my 500 words essay although I couldn't finish it everyday due to procrastination. It is because sometime I would spend one hour on Facebook, one hour on Youtube and one hour doing nothing much productive thing as this journey has been keep on going for last 2 weeks after I had cut down on my blogging activity.

Furthermore, I have been keep on reading the Metro and London Evening Standard free newspaper when I was inside the train. Seriously there is a lot of different kind story happening everyday in life such as criminal attack, rape and other illegal crime when I read on those newspaper. Somehow I do questioned myself before what I can do in order to "create/add value" to other people life other than ranting? In fact, those comparison thread tends to be keep pulling me down especially when I read the Tarc Confessions page mentioned about how some guys can easily cheat those girls feeling and feel so "butthurt" when it talks about sex related things such as single guys would probably masturbate if they don't have girlfriend or girlfriend complained that their boyfriend didn't want to have sex with them. However, when I asked back myself that after reading all this information, what do I get other than feeling "down" in some ways?

It is just like a guy sayings that he had saved RM300,000 in his bank account at the age of 24 and another story about a friend that same age which me is currently a pilot with one line strip badge on shoulder (Total is four line strip badge on shoulder to become a pilot's captain) and the answer is I do not gain anything after listening to so much story. In fact, it would just make me feel more depressed although I had promised to keep looking on the bright side of live and being positive. Honestly, I do have a lot of ideas in the past but it seems that I couldn't recall it back now. Beside, my action plan seems to be not really work when I think about the future of "www.lonelyreload.com" after it had expire would be a confessions page for lonely user to express their negative feeling about but this can be done by just creating another Facebook page. Therefore this can explain why Facebook can dominate/kills all the website out there because people no longer need to pay for making a website.

In fact, creating a website seems to be costing a lot more money than creating a Facebook page especially when everyone is using FB to communicate. Sometime I do understand my own weakness although it is no use to rant/whine/complain that I want to go back to my 18 years old and advice those Tarc College (TARUC) student for not following my footstep although it might not useful unless you're experience the thing that I gone through. For example, you could try to ask a question that something similar to "Could you be my girlfriend, please?" to 1000 different girl as I believe one of it might agree if you dare to speak out. However, I couldn't do this in real life because afraid people might think I am a pervert or over desperate dry guy. Anyway, I do try a different approach when meeting new people during my English course in London such as be the first mover to introduce myself. Perhaps it is because it is too expensive to learn here when my daily cost about RM400 in total if I didn't gain anything in return.

Therefore I was speechless now as I thought I could save more $$ during my stay in Sheffield but I might be the person who used the most money in UK which probably near to £10,000 in total of the all fees, flight and etc. If I was to judge whether it is worth or not to continue your Advance Diploma course in Sheffield Hallam University 3 month degree program, I might say that it really depends on whether you're a positive or negative thinker. As for now, I had tried to find some job in the Jobstreet Malaysia website and it seems that there is too much job around until I don't really know apply for which industry. However, my main focus might be going in a banking field although there a lot of department inside. Anyway, I felt that what my brother said was right that I could write down the pros and cons first before making any decision, then evaluate myself whether the pros is more than cons, continued with making the decision I feel the best because no one can decide for you other than myself.

Before I end my post, I would like to share 5 positive sentences that I found meaningful by Marc and Angel as shown below.
______________________________________________
You're only doing what you're doing because it's safe.
Never let your fear decide your future. To play it too safe is one of the riskiest choices you can make. You cannot grow unless you are willing to change and adapt. You will never improve yourself if you cling to what used to be simply because it’s familiar and comfortable. Accept what is, let go of what was and have faith in what could be. The bold steps you take into the unknown won’t be easy, but every step is worth it.  There’s no telling how many miles you will have to run while chasing a dream, but this chase is what gives meaning to life. And even if you have to fail several times before you succeed, your worst attempt will always be 100% better than the person who settles and never tries at all.

You have chosen the easiest possible path.
Nothing in life is easy. Don't expect things to be given to you. Go out and achieve them. Good things come to those who work for them. Some have natural talent, while others make up for it with tremendous heart and determination, and it's almost always the latter group that succeeds in the long run. Working and training for something is the opposite of hoping for it. If you believe in it with all your heart, then work for it with all your might. Great achievements must be earned. There is no elevator to success; you must take the stairs. So forget how you feel and remember what you deserve. NOW is always the best time to break out of your shell and show the world who you really are and what you’re really made of. Start right where you are, use what you have, do what you can, and give it your best shot.

You are working hard, but making zero progress.
To achieve success and sustain happiness in life, you must focus your attention on the right things, in the right ways. Every growing human being (that means all of us) has resource constraints: limited time and energy. It is critical that you spend your resources effectively. You have to stay laser-focused on doing the RIGHT work, instead of doing a bunch of inconsequential work, right. Not all work is created equal. Don't get caught up in odd jobs, even those that seem urgent, unless they are also important. Don't confuse being busy with being productive.

You have a started a dozen projects and completed none of them.
We are judged by what we finish, not what we start. Period. Think about it, you rarely fail for the things you do. You fail for the things you don’t do, the business you leave unfinished, and the things you make excuses about for the rest of your life. In all walks of life, passion is what starts it and dedication is what finishes it.

You are playing a role in life's drama circle.
Needless drama doesn't just walk into your life out of nowhere; you either create it, invite it or associate with those who bring it. Do not let anyone's ignorance, hate, drama or negativity stop you from being the best person you can be. Be an example of a pure existence. Don't spew hostile words at someone who spews them at you. Ignore their foolish antics and focus on kindness. Communicate and express yourself from a place of peace, from a place of love, with the best intentions. Use your voice for good to inspire, to encourage, to educate, and to spread the notions of compassion and understanding. If someone insists on foisting their hostility and drama on you, simply ignore them and walk away. Sometimes people will talk about you when they envy the life you lead. Let them be. You affected their life; don't let them affect yours. Those who create their own drama deserve their own karma. Don’t get sidetracked by people who are not on track.

Do You Really Have The Heart To Do Something?

$

Nowadays, I do encounter a lot of different things and I know that I shouldn't recall anything about it but it just keep "popping up" into my mind. Frankly speaking, I do tried not to bother about it because I knew this was the side effect of my blogging habit but I failed to do so. In fact, I do understand that what we said or write would have some probability to influence us. First of all, the thing I concern was about the English course again although I know that it should be a close topic. Well, my cousin had played an important role to "inspire" me for thinking deeply about when I said that if I never told her about the "truth", I might be more happy but if I did not tell about the truth, the person who lost is only myself. Actually she was quite true that I might be a timid person that I afraid the tutor will lost his job if I complain that he went to the class, distribute a paper and let us discuss ourselves without giving much guidance for the meeting's negotiation part. However, if I didn't voice up, they will not change and the person who did not learn anything is just myself.

Anyway, the case seems to be solved and I feel that my cousin was right we would like to gain something in return for the money we paid. Honestly, I did feel "money pain" although it was not my money because the money spend on education can buy 5 pieces of iPhone 5C if converted to Malaysian Ringgit and if I didn't improve at the end of this English course, the person who lost was only myself. On the other hand, i try to cut short my time to express my feeling although I still want to include some event that happened on today such as the video shared by our tutor about a guy who went to travel in 42 countries as shown below.
After our class end, I joined some Brazilian friend by taking underground tube train to St John's Wood station and walked to somewhere near Abbey Road for visits one of the Beatles famous walking spot as below.
(To me, it looks like a normal road instead of something special)

After that, we took the underground tube to Camden Town and walked to one of the famous fish and chip restaurant that is Poppies Camden Town Fish and Chips as shown below.
Somehow I just ordered the Kid's meal for £4.90 because the price for adult set cost about £11.90 as I still haven prepare my heart to spend so much money on food. Next, we went to walk around the Camden Market and continue with the Horse tunnel market as below.
Finally I reached back home at 8.15pm and here goes about what I really want to talk about "Do You Really Have The Heart To Do Something?" during the conversation with my cousin. Well, I d feel that my cousin seems to be understanding me a lot partly because she had met so many different kind of people to work along with.

For example, she had explained why my personality might reflect something not very good if I am an introvert person. It is because if I didn't speak much or share much of my feeling with real people who didn't know me, they might jump into a conclusion that this kind of people might be an arrogant guy who doesn't want to talk. Therefore this might make me "self reflect" about my past again back in Tarc College. Beside, when we talk about those programming, SAP or any other thing, she was quite right that it is all depend whether do you really have the heart to do something or not. It is because all the while I keep saying want to do but my action didn't really show how keen I was doing it. For example, if you want to earn a lot of money, you will try to do a lot of things in order to achieve it instead of talking. Furthermore, we can't always be "50-50" while making decision just like why a girl will abandon you if you couldn't able to make any decision no matter how big the problem is. (做男人不可以一直犹豫不决)

In addition, I do feel a bit "down" when she talk about my mother because I seldom share my problem with my mother. In fact, I do feel myself quite "funny" about why I can share all my personal feeling with stranger instead of someone who was so close with me? Anyway, my cousin's saying was quite right too that depression really can make a person to go to the negative side until the worst case scenario might be relate to something with commit suicide case. Moreover, it is true that "To be able to love others, you have to learn to love yourself. To be able to love yourself, you have to first learn to accept yourself as who you are. To accept yourself, you have to understand that you are flawed. To accept others, you have to understand that everyone in the world is flawed, just like how you are. Acceptance comes before love, and love does not exist if there is no acceptance, always remember that"which is quite meaningful too. Over time, it really take a lot of effort to improve a person as I shall start investing in myself for some new knowledge.

Before I end my post, I would like to share a meaningful positive article although it is so long as shown below.
___________________________________________
Your life is your message to the world, make it inspiring. Life is full of positive experiences. Notice them. Notice the sun warming your skin, the small child learning to walk, and the smiling faces around you. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential by reveling in the beauty of these experiences, and letting them inspire you to be the most positive version of YOU.

What would happen if you approached each day intentionally, with a positive attitude? What would happen if you embraced life’s challenges with a smile on your face? What would happen if you surrounded yourself with people who made you better? What would happen if you paused long enough to appreciate it all?

Living a positive life is all about creating positive habits to help you focus on what truly matters. This is the secret of super positive people. Here are nine simple ideas to help you follow in their footsteps.

1) Wake up every morning with the idea that something wonderful is possible today.– Smiling is a healing energy. Always find a reason to smile. It may not add years to your life but will surely add life to your years. A consistent positive attitude is the cheapest ‘fountain of youth.’ You’ve got to dance like there’s nobody watching, love like you’ll never be hurt, sing like there’s nobody listening, and live like it’s heaven on Earth.

2) Celebrate your existence.– Your mind is the window through which you see the world. The way to make this the happiest day ever is to think, feel, walk, talk, give, and serve like you are the most fortunate person in the whole world. Open minded, open hearted, and open handed. Nothing more is needed. All is well… and so it is.

3) Appreciate life’s perfect moments.– Your life isn’t perfect, but it does have perfect moments. Don’t let the little things get you down. You’ve got plenty of reasons to look up at the sky and say, “Thank you, I will do my best to make this a great day.” So slow down and pause for a moment to stand in awe of the fact that you are alive, and that you have the ability to rediscover life as the miracle it has always been.

4) Embrace life’s challenges.– Uncharted territory in your life is not good or bad, it just is. Yes, it may rattle your foundation, and you may be tempted to pullback, say you can’t do it, or bail completely. But these are exactly the conditions that set you up for massive amounts of personal growth. Each experience through which you pass operates ultimately for your own good. This is the correct attitude to adopt, and you must be able to see it in this light.

5) Become addicted to constant and never-ending self improvement.– It doesn’t have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your life. Every day is a new day to learn, grow, develop your strengths, heal yourself from past regrets, and move forward. Every day gives you a chance to reinvent yourself, to fine-tune who you are, and build on the lessons you have learned. It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life and switch gears. Using today wisely will always help you create a more positive tomorrow.

6) Live and breathe the truth.– It’s the most positive, stress-free way to live, because the truth always reveals itself eventually anyway. So don’t aim to be impressive, aim to be true. Those who are true are truly impressive. Being true means having integrity; and integrity is doing the right thing even when you know nobody is watching.

7) Fill your own bucket.– Choose to be happy for no reason at all. If you are happy for a reason, you could be in trouble, because that reason can get taken away from you. So smile right now because you can right now, and make it a point to fill your own bucket of happiness so high that the rest of the world can’t poke enough holes to drain it dry.

8) Help the people around you smile. – Today, give someone one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine they see all day. Sometimes just a single genuine smile or compliment can lift a person’s spirits to new heights. At the right time, a kind word from a stranger, or unexpected encouragement from a friend, can make all the difference in the world. Kindness is free, but it’s priceless. And as you know, what goes around comes around.

9) Spend time with positive people.– Life’s way too awesome to waste time with people who don’t treat you right. So surround yourself with people who make you happy and make you smile. People who help you up when you’re down. People who would never take advantage of you. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through.

Brighton Royal Pavilion and Seaside Pier Tour Experiences

Over time, I realized that I seems to be "lost the heart to do something" just like I had less blog about the things that happened to me. Apparently I keep asking myself the very same question whether is necessary to write about it and those "thought" will eventually gone after few days had passed. For example, before this I want to write about "On the way finding my talent" for Thursday post, "Jack The Ripper Free Walking Tour" on Friday that is organized by my English course school on Friday, but I just feel unnecessary to talk about it no matter how it interest me. Guess it would make myself feel that it would be a burden to continue write so much feelings which can affect my real life. In fact, this post was written on Sunday for "Ask Italian restaurant review" feeling but I don't want to make myself think so much and ended up writing Saturday post where I went to Brighton Royal Pavilion and Seaside Pier Tour with my current English course classmate.

At first I was happy that our train price ticket cost about £5 for go and return from London Bridge because we're in big group as shown below.
Upon arrived there, we walked to the seaside and Brighton Pier to take a short lunch break while taking some picture as below.
Anyways, I would just summarize up that the Brighton Royal Pavilion seems to be not very worth to pay £10 for a visits because we were not allow to take any picture unless you're on your "big day" (married) or snap it secretly just like the picture below. (Feel unhappy because I was unable to capture much of the picture)
Besides, I do get to know some new friend and and we went to Churchill Square Shopping mall with two Thailand friend as below.
Overall it was a great outing trip to Brighton city although we were not able to go much places. In conclusion, there was too much story in life and some of it is quite hard to express out in a just feel words. For example, when we gathered in front of the school this morning, a friend from Uzbekistan told me that he didn't sleep for the whole night because he went to strip club in Soho square and spend about £200 which include "that kind of service" (if you know what  means). Anyways, I do know that it is not good to "judge" or say anything about others people's decision because everyone has their right to do anything they want no matter it is illegal or legal. Before I end my post, I would like to share an interesting picture that reflect about "society sarcastic/hypocrite" as shown below. (只要有钱,他长什么样都无所谓?)

Face The Problem With A Positive Mindset

Something Happened! I just can face the problem with a positive mindset and should bear with my own consequences about the "penalty fares and prosecutions" fine for Underground tube.
Hereby I would say that only family will always be with you no matter what happens in life.
After this "incident" happened, I hope that I would grown up to be more mature in future.
Seriously this kind of feelings really not good to go through as I never think deeply before I do it.
Thanks to anyone who comforted me all the way.
I truly appreciate deep bottom of my heart.
By the way, do you agree that anything that can be settle by $$ is not a major problem?
Sometime I do wonder that maybe I had think too much on the negative side such as "ended up in Jail" when my current feeling is so petrified.
In fact, I really feel ashamed about myself.

Growing Up To Level 2 Of Life

Today marks the growing up process of my life to level 2. It is because I had the courage to confess my own mistake about the "underground fine related thing" to my cousin.

One of the most important lesson that I learn for this incident is that if something bad happened, you just need to face it, don't dwell about the past or sabotage yourself when I thought that I am not good enough. In fact, I start to realize that why most of the bad things that happened was most probably based on our own "assumption" and it is so dangerous because what you said and thought would affect your action. Beside, it is no point to find out what other's people said about the things you do. For example, if a lot people say that the English Course in UK is not worth to study, but you shouldn't think in that way because those others people voices does not represent you. The important part is that you must start believing in yourself that it is worth to learn.

Besides, there is one more thing that I feel meaningful from my cousin is that "The reason I do this for you is that I believe you be better of your life, when you're successful in future, I hope you can do the same thing about what I had done to you" to others people. In addition, those others people voice might be the reason why I decided to quit blogging that day when I heard too much of opinion from various type of source and forum. Over time, you really need to understand what you really want do about your life because no one is responsible about your life. In addition, there is no use to think about why other's people treat you good or any other nonsense thing because that will only make you feel depressed for thinking so much. Anyway, I will need to settle the "court prosecution/police" related thing at tomorrow near South Kensington.

Before I end my post, I would like to share "Lesson of time, Karma" as shown below.
