Unspoken words from an unopened letter.

Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale, and you were the one who turned my life into this fairy tale. When I was younger, I thought I knew what love was, and I was confident I was right. However, when you came along, you proved me wrong otherwise. There is no doubt that if I know what love is, it is because of you, and no one else.

You complained I always tell you that I love you, and you say that I do not actually know what I am saying hence that I could repeat these three words to you all the time. But the truth is, I tell you I love you every day for fear that tomorrow isn’t another. I always ask myself, “Could this be real? Is she the ONE for me?” The answer to my questions was always within you, in that beautiful smile of yours.

I cannot exist without you. I am forgetful of everything but seeing you again. My life seems to stop there, I see no further, and I see no hope. You have absorbed me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I were dissolving. I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion..I have shuddered at it..I shudder no more. I could be martyred for my religion: Love is my religion. I could die for that. I could die for you. My creed is love, and you are its only tenet. You have ravished me away by a power I cannot resist.

There is this place in me where your fingerprints still rest, your kisses still linger, and your whispers softly echo. It is the place where a part of you will forever be a part of me..

I love you..

Geek post

I'm a geek. I get simple joy/happiness (but not happYness though) through little simple things, or more specifically, "little" gadgets ;p.

For those who know me well enough, I'm the type of person who will never spend money on things like shoes, clothes, jeans, sun-glasses, or actually, any fashion accessories. I only have 1 shoe and 1 slipper, and I will only change it if it becomes un-wearable anymore. I also don't have much things to wear, open up my closet and you'll see only a few measly T-shirt, shirt and short pants. Wait, infact I only have less then 5 short pants, and only 2 jeans! Haha. Basically, I've no fashion sense, or I don't really care that much. For me, spending RM300+ on a jeans, or RM800+ on a sun-glass would be like "OH-MY-GOSH-WHAT-THE-HELL-SO-FRIGGIN-EXPENSIVE!!!!".

But I don't mind spending money on gadgets! I'm totally a gadget head! I don't mind spending RM1k on a torch light, RM3k on a handphone, RM10k on a sound system and so on, infact I prefer to spend on all these instead of anything else. I myself also don't understand why, but probably is because of all this daily changing gadget which make me enjoy my job so much. And this is the plus point that I'm in this IT hardware business, I get to purchase the newest gadgets for the cheapest price!, but not such a plus point for my bank account though.


Anyway I've been planning to change my router for quite some time already. Currently using a D-Link DSL-G604T.

It's a OKAY router with build in modem, if you're a mediocre user and if you're not as picky as me. Lately it's been irritating me alot, mainly because it takes forever (actually forever is only around 5 minutes) to connect to my laptop!

Nowadays I take my laptop out from my house so often, when I come home everytime, I've to wait for it to slowly establish a connection with my router all over again! It keeps on scanning for the IP address and only after several minute I can finally get connected!

Sometime it gets even stupid-er, the connection status will show "Limited Connectivity" after it finally finish taking forever to get the IP address. Then I've to restart my router and wait all over again!!

Another thing that always bug me is the stupid D-Link router homepage takes FOREVER to load! To load such a simple setting page from the router itself takes FOREVER! Bloody irritating I tell you. Have to refresh several times before the page will appear. I thought the connection from the router to the PC should be 54Mbps? Stupid!
Then when the settings page does finally load and if you make any changes, you have to restart the whole stupid router to save the new changes, which means I'll have to wait FOREVER again to get it connected to my PC!

It might seem like I'm making a huge fuss over a small issue, but seriously it is very irritating if this happens a few times a day. Time is priceless ok! So, today I finally found the time (or more like remembered) to get a new router when I stopped by Digital Mall.

Ta-dah!

Got myself a nice new Belkin ADSL2+ Modem with Wireless 802.11g Router. First time getting this brand, I think is one of the most expensive brand in the market for routers, a similiar spec router from Aztech is almost RM100 cheaper, but I wanted to try this brand out, want to know what all the fuss is about, why they can charge a premium for their routers and still there are so many stupid people (like me) buying it!, other then the fact the design looks good, oh, and it comes with LIFE-TIME warranty! Now that really gave me confidence on their product!

Flat, rounded, clean and nice. Me like!

Actually I wanted to get the Belkin N1 version which looks seriously darn sexy, glossy black and all with all the status icon on the unit itself, but after seeing the price, I refrained myself. Anyway my laptop only supports up to Wireless G speed, so getting this will be kind of waste of money, can't unleash it's full potential. Bah, what am I thinking anyway, I just remembered Streamyx is "Stream-X", if someone were to be so blur enough now to invent a router with 56Kbps capabilities it would also be more than sufficient most of the time.

Sexiest router around!

But I just found out there is a NEW model from Belkin, the N1 Vision, and omg, did I regret buying my router so soon. If I knew this was coming out I should've wait..

"The N1 Vision wireless router offers an easy way for you to view your network's broadband speed, computer bandwidth usage, and the status of your connected devices - all from an easy-to-read display." Darn!


Ok, I'm straying away. Main thing I want to say is that this Belkin router is GOOD, worth every cent of it. Setting up is a breeze, easiest I've experienced for ANY router. And it is incredibly fast, it connects to my laptop in no more than 5 seconds! Best of all, it already comes with all the ports for Warcraft (if I happened to play), MSN messenger, Ares and etc, don't have to slowly search and enter youself. Oh ya, and this router doesn't reset when you make any changes, excellent! So for those planning to change router or planning to get one, I highly recommend this one! Is goood!


Can't see? Click on it for a bigger view. Creative SSID name yea?

p/s: I'm selling my D-Link DSL G604T modem router. It's in perfect condition and it still looks like new and it's actually working perfectly fine, just that I wasn't too satisfied with it's performance. If you're a mediocre user and if your modem just got struck by lightning, or if you're finding for a spare unit, I'm letting go this one for ONLY RM100! Yes...

Did you know, that, the opposite of "Paul Frank" is...

"Foll Planky"??

Don't believe me? Check this out..

See! Foll Planky!! Man, nowonder China is taking over the world!


Anyway,
This is ONE fashion accessory I'm planning to get soon, which is a watch! Actually does it consider as a fashion accessory? I think it only counts as a fashion accessory if you have like dozens of it in your drawer. But I only need one practical and good watch to help keep track of my time a LITTLE bit better.

Anyone has any suggestion what to get? At first I'm really interested in getting this..

Sony Ericsson MBW-100 Bluetooth watch
I first saw this in Digital Mall, in one of the handphone shop. Actually I know about this a few months back, I read somewhere that Sony Ericsson and Fossil is going to come out with a bluetooth watch. And now, it's finally out, and it's beautiful, limited edition too! When I saw it, I straight away ask for the price and lucky me, it was within my budget, infact I wanted to get it there and then, I had enough cash with me. Then after I touch it, I knew I must have it. I was about to reach for my wallet to take out my money when the stupid sales guy so kindly tell me SOOO last minute that THIS WATCH ONLY SUPPORTS SONY ERICSON PHONE!! Great...for once...STUPID Nokia N95!

Then I did a little research, and not surprising, Fossil did make another bluetooth watch (this time not associated with S.E.) which can support Nokia phones! Happy me!

Fossil - Bluetooth FX6001

But the problem is, does ANYONE know where I can get this watch in Malaysia? Or does anyone know is there any authorised Fossil watch shop around? Cause I can't seem to find any. If you happened to see one, PLEASE let me know!

There is actually so much more "dream cars", and I don't think I can ever post finish all the cars tonight. But, now let me show you what a DREAM CAR should really be!

Introducing.. Mercedes-Benz Ocean Drive concept! Actually it's not really a concept car already, there are people reviewing this car on the road already. But anyway, just enjoy this car...

Mercedes Ocean Drive convertible




Seriously this car is really really sexy! I don't know how to describe it, but what Top-Gear said is right to the dot, "It's status up front, sex at the back!"

Living without a reason and a purpose is seriously so darn meaningless. And lately I really do not have a reason to be on earth also, is like, I'm here cause I have to be, God placed me here, I've no choice. Makes life so meaningless. The days seem to be passing faster and faster nowadays (I know it cause it is already the end of August), but somehow it still feels as though time never pass at all, like I'm stuck in a time warp, if you know what I mean.

Let Jadeline lighten your day too.

Been pretty stressed up lately with work. Alot of things happening at the same time and 24 hours a day is really NOT enough to cater for a young aspiring "businessman" like me. But no matter what, I'll strive to be what I aimed to be, even if it kills me.

Just submit a quoatation that I've been stressed out with to my client, finally can have a sigh of relieve. At least until tomorrow when I've to meet with them to finalize things. I'm sure I'll have alot of questions by them and have to justify why this and that cost so much. Hate doing business with people who don't understand the situation, too many people take too many things for granted. Rich people only want things fast, and perfect, sometimes they want it the cheapest too. Can't the M'sian market and consumers be more like the foreigners? Or even the new generation of Malays? They just accept the price you give them and won't bother to waste time negotiating price for hours on end.

Anyway I'm taking this few hours to finally settle down and relax abit. Was REALLY stressed out earlier today chasing suppliers whole day to reply all me quotation! Bloody hell all of them take their own sweet time..#@$%. But enough of work. The point of this post is, I want to share with the world the "lame-ness"?? of Jadeline.

She has some really good mama jokes here man, wonder where she got it from..enjoy!

The BIG headache I'm glad to have.

Remember the BIG project I said that is currently going on my last, last, last, last post?

Well, today I finally have the chance to view the proper project site, and the first thought that ran through my mind when I saw this was:


"Toooooooooooooooooooooooooot!"

At first glance the building in the picture doesn't look that big. But compare to the tallest structure behind, and the structure at the centre right. The centre right structure is already a 2 story ware-house type office building, check out the comparison! The tall structure behind will be a 34 meter (roughly 11 story high)!

Before this I was working and planning it only through architectural designs and drawings. Which is NOTHING compared to seeing it in real life. Sure, on paper I know the building will be up to 34 meters high, and will be about 2 city block wide, but seeing it in real life infront of me is, "toooooot"

I don't want to go into details cause I'm not sure am I even allowed to put this picture on my blog as there are many P&C grey areas about the site. But my involvement in this is to install CCTV for them (and actually a few more things, but haven't confirmed yet), will be doing it in 2 or 3 phases. But 1st phase alone there will be as much as 30 cameras. Doesn't sound like much, but it is much when you have to consider that the cameras will be about 10 stories above, that you need to pull FEW kilometers of cabling, and the only way we can access it is nothing less than cranes! BIG headache. But it sure is a good one to have, and I'm lucky enough to superwise this project. Really want it to be nothing less than perfect for my client.

Another update,

This time is geek post. Bought a new toy. A new speaker. Actually is a travelling size speaker, for, well, travelling! At the same time I'm also using it as a bed-side speaker, lazy to stick earphone into my ear when I'm sleeping.


SonicGear Uforia 2 Travelling edition. "Micro Hi-Fi class speakers"

I got not much to say about this speaker, as it is small. But for RM150, it sure is a very affordable mini speakers for travelling. Finally don't have to really sacrifice sound quality for size. Overall is good considering it's size, so I can't really complain much about it. Satisfied!

Expensive mamak!


Ok this is actually a finished plate of Rosemary beef ordered in Williams. I think this is one of the MOST expensive meal I've seen or even heard off from a place like this. RM30 for this plate..ouch!

My take on the new Proton Persona

Went over to Cineleisure today to check out our spanking new national car for year 2007, the Proton Persona.

This car is a very special car. It's the car that "promises to set off a snowball effect of recovery at Proton". Visit Proton Malaysia official website and it is written on it's main page: "Persona, Permata Hatiku, Our pride and joy". The Chairman of PROTON Holdings Berhad said: “We are extremely proud of this new product as it was built in accordance with PROTON’s new philosophy of producing the right car for the right market at the right price,”. They even advertised that: "Bookings exceeding 2,200 units have been received for the PROTON Persona, even before it was officially unveiled by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, with 350 cars already registered and delivered to customers nationwide upon launching.". Heck, they love their new car so much they even call the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to launch it!

So, everyone (or at least myself) expects this car to really turn heads, to be some kind of a milestone compared to all our previous models, to be so good that everyone would run out and purchase this car when they set eyes on it. Afterall, the marketing they did seems so impressive, purposely keep everyone in suspense, giving us little "teasers" on how the car look like. To sum it up, I expect it to be...competitive, new, to finally have a more foreign design and styling and quality!!


But on 15th August 2007, when they finally revealed the car, I was wrong.


I MEAN SERIOUSLY..WTH?? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF THERE IS ANY OBVIOUS DIFFERENCE AT ALL COMPARED TO PROTON GEN-2??!!

Here is another look (the "live" unit)

!!


Even the back looks the same!!

Impressive? No, I'm being sarcastic. Let me tell you WHAT Proton actually did. All they did was add a chrome strip at the front intake grill, add yet another chrome strip to the back, add a boot space, change the layout to sedan style, and then RENAMED it to "Proton Persona"...and there you have it, a BRAND NEW NATIONAL CAR for year 2007, our nation's "Pride and Joy".


Fine, they add a boot in, wow!


Our nation's pride and joy? Oh my goodness! But I have to give them some credit, they have the cheek to advertised it as a brand new car. Yeah, new name more like it! Is there seriously no originality in our national car company? I wonder are there ANY Creative Designers or Engineers working in Proton, or has the directors neglect to hire quality desginers and engineers so that they can save cost, and at the end pocket more money for themselves?? Heck man, even the name itself is not even new, is actually used in the UK market to represent Proton Wira!! And I expected something more, new, nice, different..made with quality..to at least be competitive to even Kia or Hyundai!

Seriously speaking, HOW ON EARTH can this car "promises to set off a snowball effect of recovery at Proton"?? Is just an improved version of Proton Gen-2, with boot! The only customers I think it can attract is those people who are interested to buy the Gen-2, but thinking twice because of such small boot space and low roof line.

Personally I have nothing against the car itself, I think it's above average for it's given price tag of only RM44,999! It's cheaper and an improvement over the Proton Gen-2. My problem is only with the people behind this car. If they want to improve the Gen-2, then just do that and then remain it as the same name, or maybe just give it a code to show it is the newer sedan version! Or just call it "Gen-2 Sedan", what's wrong with it?? Don't go and rename the whole damn car and advertised it as though you're coming out with a whole brand spanking new car!! Absolutely misleading!


In conclusion, what Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson commented on Proton last time is true. He said that "It looks like it is made in the middle of a jungle clearing by people who doesn't care at all.". And he commented this on the original Proton Gen-2 when it first launched back in 2004!

Anyway here are the remaining pictures I took of the car:


Same interior, but now with glove compartment.


Same Campro 1.6 engine


Same steering wheel. Same instrument panel. Same pillar A means same problem with blind spots. Oh, and same crap CD player, Air-Cond vent and Air-cond controls. How original.

Everybody loves Bryan.

A stroll through memory lane.

Can't sleep again, and I've been reading through all my older post on blogspot since I first started blogging (in Blogspot) back in February 2006. And, wow, time sure really flies. I barely noticed that it is already the 3rd quarter of year 2007. Lately been doing alot of reflection on my life, am I getting too old for my age?

Reading my older post really refresh my memory on how my life was back in 2006. I was in Sunway College doing MUFY, I remembered I hated it, and I still hate it till now. But then again, I guess it was still fun. I know life was certainly much better for me back in 2006, much, happier (hate to admit it)! Although most of the time I keep bitching about college life, but at least my life, at least those parts that matters most was there, and that's what made it good.

Since I've been working whole of this year, I'm not saying that work is affecting me, affecting my overall life, my happiness. Is just, something else. Is those things that matters most, it's not around this year anymore, not around to keep me sane, to help me smile and pick me up when I fall into the deepest and darkest possible hole in life.

Most nights I come home and just force myself to find more work to do. Just to find ANY possible things to do to fill up my time, and my mind. Or if there is mamak or movie plans late at night, then it is a bonus. As long as I don't get anytime to relax and spend some alone time with myself, then it's good enough for me, cause there are seriously TOO much things going on in my mind that if I stop to think about it longer than a few seconds, I'm definitely going to break down. And this is where my work plays an important role, ironicly, work is currently the only thing keeping me sane.


Anyway, the (past) post which trigger me to spill all these out now is this one..Posted back in October 8, 2006, entitled "A few things I've Learnt".

Reading that post, it seems that I've learnt so many things already in that year and I thought I would be smart enough to repeat the same mistakes again. But, oh well, it's life.
Anyway, here are some of the things I posted in that old post that really struck me and would like to remind myself again..


2) Many times when we think that no one else will be better then us in the things we do best, well, there will always be someone else out there better than us.

3) I've learnt, the hard way, that life move on and doesn't pause even for a second to wait for you, so is either you "stay put" and rot, or pick yourself up and move on, continue in life.

6) I've learnt, again the very hard way, that no one can keep true to their promises, even promises made by people whom we think love us most.

10) I realise, to achieve success, you must go through pain and suffering first.

11) I've learnt, that falling in love might be the most beautiful experience, but will also be the most painful experience ever in our lifes.

12) I've realise that, not all the time, it is better to give than to recieve. Because in reality, many people will take you for granted if you're too kind.

22) I realise that people always leave, especially people that we love most.

23) I realise that life will never turn out to be what we always hoped for, because it is reality, not a dream.


24) I've learnt that the phrase: "The grass will always be greener on the other side" is actually trying to say that man will never be contended with what they have. One may spend their whole life trying to get to the other side of the fence, and when they finally get over, they'll start thinking, "I think the grass on the other side IS actually greener!", and this is evident for all of us.

and lastly

27) I've learnt that, all people need most of the time is a second chance. Even a lame can run again, IF he gives himself a second chance.


So it seems I was already aware of all this since last year, and somehow along the way, I must've totally forget about all this "I've learnt".

Now I hope I'll remember No. 3 everyday when I wake up and try to apply it.

Some old, but still beautiful quotes from OTH I found from my older post.

"Life is funny sometimes, can push pretty hard. Like when you fall in love with someone and they forget to love you back. Like when your best friend and your boyfriend/girlfriend leave you alone. Like when you pull the trigger and light the flame and can never take it back. If you look close enough, you'll find hope. And the words of children, and the bars of the song, and in the eye of someone you love, and if you're lucky, I mean if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back... "

and

Henry James once wrote : "Be not afraid to live, believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact!"

Some pictures..

Question:
I took and posted a few pictures below. Out of all these pictures, some are taken with my Nikon D50 SLR camera and some are taken with...my new toy!

So..guess which picture is taken by which camera as you view them.

Ok I lied. NONE of the pictures above is taken with my Nikon D50 SLR camera.
BTW, the PC fair pictures below are also from this fella.

Finally an update on (my) life since 18th February 2007

Hi!

Ok this is weird, I don't really know/remembered how to blog.

Hi everyone, I finally found the time to update my humble blog. Ok, to be honest, I'm actually too bored, I've no work to do, I run out of technology websites and blogs to visit and I can't sleep at all thanks to my favourite teh tarik!

Anyway, I think I'll start blogging (regularly) again, I'll try to find some time in my life to rant about all my life's misery right here for the world to read.


So, a little (Q&A) update on what I've been up too since 18/2/2007. (These are the few questions people tend to ask me once in awhile)

What have you been doing since February?
Nothing much. Only..working.

Where?
I work for a company called NAND Digital Sdn Bhd. The office is in Cheras and JB.

And what are you working as?
Currently I'm managing and supervising the IT retail devision, "Supercom IT House" for this company.

Exactly what do you do?
Everything. I more or less have multiple positions for now. I'm like the marketing cum sales executive cum operations cum technician cum technical advisor, and many many more. But main thing is I've to manage the IT Retail devision and make sure is making money!

You're only 19. Not many company will let a 19 year old manage a whole devision. What made them choose you?
When I started off, It was only supposed to be a part-time job to fill my time before University starts in July. I started off only as a retail sales person cum technician, base in Digital Mall. But after the first month, I improved total sales by 437%, and the second month up to 514%. I turned the whole devision around and started making profit for them. After that I was asked to join them and take over and lead the retail devision.

So what are your plans then?
Currently we only have one retail outlet, a 96 sq ft kiosk in Digital Mall. Everything else we are more or less doing wholesale or corporate sales. We're planning to open more outlets around to get higher sales volume. Currently we already found a new shop-lot in Taman Maluri, Cheras and going to start renovation soon, hopefully this will open by end of this month. Planning to open around 2 to 3 more kiosk outlets by end of this year. Other things in store is we are also planning to start a whole new CCTV devision, which will also be under me, but will be starting small and only targeting homes or smaller shop lots, the idea is to bring cheap CCTV systems to everyone homes. Also in discussion is to open a cyber cafe, but this will most probably be pushed to next year unless we have exceptional response in our new outlet.

Kiosk? Can you actually do IT hardware business with a kiosk outlet?! There are so many hardware and keeping stocks would be a nightmare!
You'll be surprise. I myself laugh at the idea too, I couldn't believe IT hardware business in a kiosk can be profittable until I actually got involve. The things we sell in our kiosk outlet are of course smaller items, mostly computer accessories like thumbdrive, external hard-disk, webcams, blank CDs/DVDs, mouse, hubs, memory cards, MP3 player and etc. I have actually more then 100 different products in my kiosk alone, and surprisingly these things are very sellable! But of course we will also start selling motherboards, graphic cards, monitors and etc when we open our shop lot in Tmn Maluri. At least there we have much more space to do PC sales.

So do you enjoy your work? Wait, how about studying? Now is already August!
Yes, I love my work. I love it because I'm good at it and I'm always interested in computer and technical stuff since young.
About studies, I plan to take a break from studying this year and continue with my work. Currently 30% of Supercom is mine and so I hope to build it up, is like my baby. We'll see how later on, I might go back to studying if things doesn't turn out the way I want it to be.

Why do you want to stop studying and start working at such a young age? Don't you think getting a degree first is much more important? Are you in desperate need of money?
I agree that getting a degree is important. Yes it will give you security and with this degree certificate, you can at least get a decent job with a minimum pay starting from around RM2-3k the moment you start working. And most probably your pay will increase only to as much as the market are willing to pay you for the studies you took, unless, you are exceptional in your field or you have alot of contacts.
For me, is abit different. Firstly, I really hate studying. More than your normal teenager-hate-studying type of person. I hate it because no matter how hard I try, I can't be good at it. And now when I'm presented with what it seems to be a better option, I'm willing to risk it and take this oppurtunity. But the main thing is, I HAVE this oppurtunity. Another thing is, I can't accept the idea of only starting from scratch at the age of 25 years old, by the time I earn enough and have a comfortable life most probably I'll be in my mid 30s already, how to earn enough money to get married and start a family in 5-10 years?? I don't know about you, but I can't. So I rather start now if I have the chance.
And no, I'm not in desperate need of money. I actually don't need the money, not yet at least. Now I work because I love my job, and I'm trying my best to be as successful as I can, and to make my business successful.

So currently what's going on at work?
PC Fair just finished and I must say I'm quite satisfied at that. First time I've ever been involve in PC Fair and I've to sort of handle everything already. It was an unbelievable experienced, it was really good. The response was good too. Sold out many things by the second day, couldn't believe it! Anyway will do it bigger and better for year end, can't wait for it. Other then that, current project on going is a CCTV security system + magnetic door access + 150 computers + networking for SAE new office and aeroplane hanger in KLIA itself. All I can say is this is HUGE and involve alot and alot of money. How big? Office block itself is already 46k+ sq ft! Indoor hanger can fit 8 Airbus aeroplanes, and a much bigger outdoor aeroplane parking area, all have to be "seen". Stress!


So that's all for now, finally sleepy. Will update some more again soon! Here are some pictures of my booth at PC Fair =).
