Ulsan University

Communication. It's the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we grow up, learn our words and really start talking the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for what we really need.. isn't it ^_^ ( smile )

At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about. Some things we just don't want to hear, and some things we say because we can't be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say, they're what you do. Some things you say because there's no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves.

A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success.

“Never leave that till tomorrow,” he said, “Which you can do today.”

This is the man who discovered electricity. You’d think more of us would listen to what he had to say.

I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d say it has a lot to do with fear... Fear of failure... Fear of pain... Fear of rejection... Sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong? What if you make a mistake you can’t undo? Whatever it is we're afraid of, one thing holds true: that by the time the pain of not doing the thing gets worse than the fear of doing it. It can feel like we're carrying around a giant tumor. And you thought I was speaking metaphorically...

(ii)
The early bird catches the worm...a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we haven't been told.

We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the poets urging us to ‘seize the day'. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.

........what if no one had never discovered electricity....???

Intimacy ... to me is a four syllable word for here is my heart and soul, please grind them into hamburger, and enjoy. It's both desired, and feared. Difficult to live with, and impossible to live without. Intimacy also comes attached to relatives, romance... There are some things you can't escape. And other things you just don't want to know.
I wish there were a rulebook for intimacy. Some kind of guide to tell you when you've crossed the line. It would be nice if you could see it coming, and I don't know how you fit it on a map. You take it where you can get it, and keep it as long as you can. And as for rules, maybe there are none. Maybe the rules of intimacy are something you have to define for yourself.

LAPORAN PENUH TRIP KE BUSAN ANJURAN KELAB KEMBARA MACHAN..haha..sapelah bg nama ni

Just spent a glorious 5 days in sunny Busan.Hot sun, cool ocean, gritty sand, salty air..wuu

Fri -
Arrived at Busan station from Ulsan University..carik tempat penginapan...(cari tempat untuk letak barang- barang je sebab kitorang bermalam di tepi pantai....sejjuuuukk..)

Sat -
The highlight of the trip was the day we spent at the most popular beach in Korea, Haeundae Beach.Contrary to our expectations, the water was clear, shallow, and seemed clean enough. There were tons of kids and teens in the ocean hanging on to inner tubes riding the waves.All we had to deal with was lots and lots of hot sun =)
At Haeundae Beach, no one brings their own sun umbrella to the beach. They're all rented for 5,000 won, resulting in the sand being covered with identical red and white umbrellas advertising McDonalds and Lotteria.
we also went on a boat tour to the Orudo Islets. They are really big enough to be called islands - really they're only giant rocks sticking out of the water.It was a pretty interesting ride. we paid like twelve bucks to get on this little boat with a whackload of koreans - we were the only waegooks (foreigners) on the ride. i like boats - a lot- and was actually more excited than i let on. i was, however, a little worried about the cold wind that would be attacking us while sitting on the open deck.We were expecting the wind, the people, maybe even a little splash of the cold water, but we were not expecting to be cast as extras in a re-make of "the Birds" .I've seen it a bunch of times but never wanted to be IN it.The first half of our boat ride was exactly like the parts of the movie where the birds are flying towards you in the audience and you feel like they're going to come flying out of the screen - only this time they were real.
this is nothing, there were hundreds of them...
petang kitorang lepak kat Songjeong Beach..The best beach in Busan is SanJeong beach which was nearby the temple. This beach is little bit north of the city so is doesn't have the artificial vibe the other major beaches give off. The high hills and lush vegatation give it a more exotic and tropical feeling as well. Sanjeong has a sand spit that goes into the sea so the waves break far away which makes this the best spot for surfing and Bogey boarding. I had badly burned myself at Haeundae but with the overcast weather I figured I could spend a couple hours swimming without doing to much damage but we cant cos it was 6 o'clock that time so we were not allowed to swim that time..The weather was perfect - hot and sunny with a cool breeze by the water. We walked along the beach with our toes in the sand and water, taking pictures and people watching..malam macam biasa..lepak di tepi pantai for the world's greatest nap....

Sun -
We went to Gwangalli Beach, famous for its nighttime view of the Gwangan bridge, the longest bridge in Korea..The day was sunny and so some of us really had no other option but to spend the day swimming. The beach was not crowded at all except for a large group of kids who arrived at the beach for a little field trip. The water was a bit chilly at first but I quickly got used to it..
pas mandi pg Me-World..main roller-coaster..really had agreat time there..
A trip to Busan would not be complete without a trip to the Busan Aquarium..Of course, we had to walk through the gift shop to get out of the aquarium, so we had a few silly moments before we left..
malam - pantai..sejuk

Mon -
Like every other city in Korea, Busan has a ton of parks and hiking trails. We visited a less known trail in Amnam park. It twisted around the coast of Songdo beach and we had beautiful foliage on one side, rocks, boats and the ocean on the other. Reminded me of home. we hiked down onto some rocks and then had to walk up about 1000 steps in 34 degree whether. No prob.
Finally, there is the city itself. We took a lot of pictures of crazy signs and sights but you'll have to wait to see that.
We also went to Busan Tower, the highest structure in Busan to check out the view. We went there at night so it prevented us from seeing the whole city but the view was still nice.We then spent some time in the major shopping district of Busan looking for bargains.

When I was young, I couldn’t sleep at night because I thought there was a monster in the closet. But my mom told me there wasn’t anything in the closet but fear. And fear wasn’t real. She said it wasn’t made of anything just…air. Not even that. She said you just have to face it. You just have to open that closet and the monster would disappear

Cause you know what, tragedies happen. What are you gonna do, give up, quit?

I realize now that when your heart breaks, you got to fight like hell to make sure your still alive.

Because you are. And that pain you feel?

That's life.

The confusion and fear? That's there to remind you, that somewhere out there is something better, and that something is worth fighting for.

People are going to disappoint you, I get that... I kind of expect that. But, I don’t know. What if you wake up one day and realize that you’re the disappointment.

World Cup Stadium Park - Seoul

I try to talk to you, but I don't know what to say.

I am afraid you don't want me to say anything. So I don't.

But inside of me there are words waiting to come out.And tell you how I feel-like how I miss you. And how I love you despite my broken heart.And how I need you in my life. And especially how much I want you.

But those words may forever stay in my heart-locked inside.

Sometimes I wonder if there are words locked inside you too...

but I'll never know..

thinking of her..forgive me..for everything i did..

We dream of hope. We dream of change. Of love, of death… And then it happens ? the dream becomes real.

But thinking about that moment when I have to accept the fact that every dreams come true if I survive the hard times..i feel like my life is so risky..

Sometimes I don't know what I'm missing until I reach out to touch it. Sometimes I can't see how beautiful something is until it steps back into the light. And sometimes I miss a love I almost didn't lose. But when I need beauty, I always take my life in a big risk..thats when i started to ..

Sometimes questions are more powerful than answers.

How is this happening?

What are they?

Why them and not others?

Why now?

What does it all mean?

LOVE - FRIENDSHIP - EGO

I believe the most enduring relationship is a relationship built on friendship. First, the couple starts off as friends. They then become very close friends, sharing many moments together and they become extremely comfortable with each other. Somehow, they develop feelings for each other, and they end up together. It is actually not that simple. There is a period of transition from a friendship phase to a more intimate phase. Crossing this phase is the difficult part.

Crossing the friendship threshold and attempting to move the relationship into the next level can destroy the beautiful friendship that probably has taken years to develop. Sometimes, one person is ‘more’ ready than the other. Both must be ready to move into next phase together, if the relationship is to continue.

So, this is a tough one. Do you reveal your feelings and take the risk of destroying a beautiful relationship?

One thing to remember is that you cannot control what the other person feels but you can try to understand how you feel before you take the bold step.

So ask yourself Can you live without the other person? If the other person finds someone else, the other person will not be spending much time with you. Can you live with that?

How do you feel when and if you see the other person being with another companion? What are your feelings? Jealousy, fear, anger, disappointment or nothing at all?

Do you think of the other person frequently throughout the day?

Do you look forward to being with the other person every time?

Your answers will give you an indication if you sort of have 'fallen in love' already. If that is the case, your choice is clear. You will need to let the other person know how you feel.


But..

Sometimes it all boils down to a critical three-letter word.

We call it the EGO.

Is the Ego really so bad? Not always. If by "ego" we mean "self-esteem", it's indispensable. Many people say that we can't start to love others until we love ourselves first. That's perfectly true - IF we're talking about the right kind of self-love.

But if your Ego means your needs, your honor, your sensitivities, always come first (and probably middle and last), you're playing with dynamite!

In love, there is always a risk. But if you don't reveal your feelings, it will eventually eat you up. If the other person responses positively, then you will enter a very new exciting phase in your life. However, there is a chance that the other person may not have the same feelings, then at least you now know and you can go on the mend. Either way, you would have moved away from the friendship phase.

If the relationship develops further and the couple becomes life partners, I can assure you that the partnership will be a very long one. The couple does not only have love but also friendship as the foundation of their relationship. The friendship will become very important in their golden years.

Let go of the need to support your own ego, and you'll free up an enormous amount of time and energy. Get beyond the shallow concerns of that ego, and you enable yourself to truly and fully live each moment.

Break free of the petty demands of your ego, and everything you do becomes more genuinely fulfilling. Leave your ego behind when you go out into the world, and your relationships will flourish like never before.

Of the factors that can hinder your progress, your ego is one of the most insidious. For the more it holds you back, the more it demands of you, and the more it demands of you, the more powerful it becomes.

Yet you have what it takes to break that cycle. For what it really takes is nothing more than the willingness to leave the limitations of your ego behind.

Choose to focus not on what you can take and hoard from each situation, but rather on what you can give and on the things you can cause to grow. Decide to expand your focus beyond your own concerns, and you'll greatly expand your influence.

Consider how much more bold, effective, creative and productive you can be when you are beyond the reach of the constant demands of your ego. Then choose to set yourself free.♥

The Earth is large. Large enough that you think you can hide from anything. From Fate. If only you found a place far enough away. So you run. To the edge of the Earth. Where all is safe again. Quiet, and warm. The solace of salt air. The peace of danger left behind. The luxury of grief. And maybe, for a moment, you believe you have escaped.

Childhood - the most beautiful of all life's seasons

Childhood is the time when we can build castles in the sky, see elephants and monkeys in the clouds, play with tadpoles (errkk..ada ke?), jump on our matresses to our heart's delight, ask why the sky is blue, roll in the dirt, and play with trucks and dolls; it is a time when memories are made and friendships established.

Some said that our childhood is the beginning of our creative nature and ambitious desire to enjoy life and succeed in it. In childhood we find the essential and fundamental ingredients for a healthy life.

We could learn from them.. Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present, which very few of us do..

I think if children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses ^_^

It's just like when you've got some coffee that's too black, which means it's too strong. What do you do? You integrate it with cream, you make it weak. But if you pour too much cream in it, you won't even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep.

What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim? Well - life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live

I know they are cute, but something that will be a big culture shock is how young Korean children are allowed to run around unattended. I have seen 7 year old kids getting on the subway by themselves. Kids running around in busy roads unattended etc. Due to the relatively safe conditions in the country for children parents are a lot less strict on their children in Korea. It is surprising at first but you get used to it.

Korean Memorial War - Jonjeng

“Experience is the name everyone gives to their Mistakes”

That was from Oscar Wilde’s Lady Windermere’s Fan. Wilde has always managed to impressed me with most of his works. With the ever-twisting plot and sharp-witted stinging epigrams. Humourous and also scandalous.

Anyway, back to the quote.

When you really think hard bout it, we really go all the way to name something bad to something less bad, just for the sake of comforting ourselves. We feel bad associating ourselves with things or incidents that bears negative marks. Therefore, we make ourselves feel better by giving it another name. I don’t know if that is good or bad. Perhaps it carries no weight. Perhaps it’s circumstancial. Perhaps it’s neither.

This is how i see it, at this very moment. If i were to say i made a mistake, the vocabularies that would run through my mind would be like “dumb”, “stupid”, “fool” etc. However, if i were to say i’ve had an experience of such, i’d be associating myself with “wiser now”, “lesson well taught”, “awareness” etc. You see the difference there? The difference may seem insignificant, but the impact may turn out substantial. Especially when it’s expressed verbally.

The past week had me witnessing several cases of loneliness. Not myself, thankfully but unfortunately to some of my friends and acquaintances I knew of. The word loneliness itself carries such negative, depressing metaphor with it. Hardly will anyone ever associate it with something good or exciting. It’s like a big “no-no” taboo and most definitely not a popular destination. But once in a while, you will find some people who actually seek ‘loneliness’ for their own not-so-obvious reasons. Usually, this is often termed as solitude. I guess the use of such term is to distinguish the different aura that surrounds it.

Loneliness, which most consider as pain, is much feared by the common public. Some, even terrified by it. And I think that the negativity that surrounds it is very much due to our failure to fully understand the existence of loneliness. The only way for us to free ourselves from such domination of fear is to understand it and face it. Perhaps by doing so, we might just gain forte from it. After all, pain has a lot to teach us.

I have a rather impartial view on loneliness. Perhaps because I’m not feeling lonely or suffering from the loneliness syndrome at the moment. Or perhaps because I had found the gift of loneliness myself.

friendship - wonder how many of us really understand the meaning of friendship

Have you ever wondered what ever happened to those that used to be your ‘kamcing’ friends during the earlier years of your life? The ones that you reveal your secrets to, share your tears with and rejoice your excitement together. For girls, it might be the ones you played ‘masak-masak’ with and for boys, the ones you sneakily in clandestine played fireworks with during ‘malam tujuh likur’. What ever happened to them?

As for me, most are still friends, some of them are now “just neighbours next door”, a few “long lost friends” and very few are long gone untraced. For those still around, I sometimes bump into them at the local grocers or meet them occasionally at "kenduri kahwin". For some, you can recognize them instantaneously, some might trigger familiarity and cause both of you to stare right at each other, yet both refusing to greet the other and some, you wouldn’t noticed even if you brushed shoulders with them.

No matter what the reasons may be for the detachment that grew between us, I can’t deny that joyful feeling of meeting that person again. It’s like being re-united after separation. Unless of course, it was somebody you have hated all your life (life is all about exceptions, isn’t it). But generally, it will be that happy feeling because familiarity has its own comfort. Even if you weren’t best buddies with such person way back years ago. And given the opportunity, who knows, the person you just ‘know-of’ in school before may just become your best bud now.

So, the next time u meet a familiar face, don’t hesitate to go up to that person and say hi. It might be that someone who left an important footprint in your life years ago, be it good or bad. Even if it was a bad taste left in your mouth back then, don’t you think it’s worth to forgive and forget now, considering the fact that such incident have been long forgotten and it is not haunting your present life.

After all, no matter how good a friend is (or was), they’re going to hurt you once in a while and you must forgive them for that, for they are only human like we are. The issue now does not linger on who was right or wrong back then but who will take the initiative to make peace. Not everybody gets that opportunity to initiate peace. And trust me, it’s the most fulfilling feeling you will ever get.

Daerim Station

I wonder what they where talking about. The woman to the left
seemed to be in a sad mood and the man seemed to be
a friend who was there to comfort his friend...err..probably his girlfriend

I could just smile as i looked at this picture and it makes me think of something

...When I find myself fading,
I close my eyes and realize my friends are my energy...

... to be honest, something like that still surprises me ... starting from 0 until they are finished with their 'mask' - without beeing ashamed to show how much support they need to be pretty ...
- boramae -

Make-up - it's a world-wide thing. Nothing special about it. We all spend time making ourselves look...mmm...more acceptable.

On my way to COEX, a woman was walking in front of me. Something caught my eye - she was constantly touching and arranging her hair. She would stroke it as she was walking, straighten it, fluff it, then stroke it again, straighten it again, and again and again. I wondered, "Why does she keep on touching her hair - it looks fine?" But she kept on doing this, caressing her hair the entire walk. Strangely enough she got into the same elevator as I did; and this is where I encountered the second interesting thing: almost every elevator in Korea has mirrors. Basically, they are constructed of mirrors.

Back to the woman. As we entered the elevator, the first thing she did was to walk straight to the mirror and adjust her hair again. She stood there grooming herself, oblivious to the rest of us in the elevator. Then, finally done, she swirled around to stare at the door of the elevator like the rest of us. But...occasionaly glancing back to the mirror to give her hair a few final adjustments.

This kind of behaviour is common here. I think women are extremely aware of how they look. They will even use their cell phones to take a picture of themselves to see whether they look okay.i've seen this so many times in the subway.

This photo is also something you would not see in Malaysia (maybe other countries). The girl was sitting there and the next moment whipped out her brush and started brushing her hair there in public. Not a care in the world.

But to say it again - after 5 months, I'm used to it, and more than that: I'm part of it..haha

"Beauty perceived as an ability."

Interesting, but I think it's always been this way. Women have been slathering themselves in makeup for centuries. Charcoal around the eyes...white plaster on the face.

I think it should be

"Beauty perceived by how rich you are."

Because, really only people with money can afford make-up, good make-up...and it always has been that way.

Faktor kuncinya terletak pada rambut. Struktur dan binaan rambut. Dengan penjagaan cermat dan sisiran rapi. Gaya pun penting. Rambut boleh timbulkan rasa berahi dan keghairahan. Pada orang yang melihat.

Mungkin sebab itu tuhan mahu kaum hawa menutup mahkota mereka. Rambut yang cantik mampu buat orang tertarik. Tapi aku rasa nilai tarikan itu terletak kepada ketahanan dan pembawaan orang yang melihat. Biar secantik manapun seseorang itu, si pemerhati sekadar rasa untuk memerhati.

Bagaimana pula dengan mahkota lelaki?

Sometimes I wish I could walk around with a 'handle with care' sign stuck to my forehead. Sometimes I wish there were a way to let people know that just because I live in a world without rules, and in a life that is lawless, doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt so bad the morning after.

Sometimes I think that I was forced to withdraw into depression because it was the only rightful protest I could throw in the face of a world that said it was all right for people to come and go as they please, that there were simply no real obligations left.

Certainly deceit and treachery in both romantic and political relationships is nothing new, but at one time, it was bad, callous, and cold to hurt somebody. Now it's just the way things go, part of the growth process. Really nothing is surprising.

Finished up the torso, and the waist guns on the old Strike Freedom Gundam Lightning Edition... er...

OK enough of this.. I'm just gonna call you Strike Lightnin' for short, is that alright with you buddy? I know I know, not your fault that they gave you such a long-fangled name, but really. Do you really expect me to type that out EVERY time I have to refer to you? Besides, Strike Lightning is kinda catchy dont u think? Kind of invokes memories of Grease Lightning right? Right?... no?

Ahem... anyway...

Finished up the torso, and the waist guns on the old Strike Lighting. He's looking pretty complete at this stage, and if he were a normal Gundam, he'd be pretty close...

But no.

He's still got a second set of waist guns, as well as his wings... (four sets of two), as well as eight drones from his dragoon system (bit like fin-fannels for those old school Char's Counter Attack fans).

So in short, still a little ways to go.

Few days ago I bumped into an old friend, to be more specific, he was my schoolmate. Since we have not met for quite some time, and both of us were free that time, we decided to have lunch together; to catch up the forgetful past time, (since our last meeting).

We talked on many things, from study related matters to depressing personal issues. I noticed he had matured to own a tolerable perseverance. Way unalike from our childish habits and behaviours, back at school or even when we were in college. He talked confidently about self-onus, his love, studies... Something I could never guess might come out from him.

Listening to him is like looking to my void dreams. Of working hard, to have life absolute direction, independent .. I guess for now I’m too chicken to start anything by myself. At times, when I think back.

People changed, as time past us. I have been repeating this adage like forever. Guys, do we need to change for good sometime, just to let us feel the real life is?

By the way, that friend of mine has ‘grown up’ too, physically. Last time we used to call him ‘kecut’, alas he’s none of that type anymore. He’s taller than me for sure, now. Matured and sort of au courant than me all together.

Betul lah, people changed right. Oh God! Did I just repeat myself?
