Around This Time
2 years ago, around this time, I left Australia back Malaysia. I enjoyed my stay there, and lots of nice and good memories still stick with me...
1 year ago, around this time, I finished my final exam and went off to USA. I had went to lots of nice places and I enjoyed my final vacation before involved myself in social university...
8 months ago, around this time, I had my uni convo remarks I finished my univeristy studies. Besides, I had my last McD burger and fries till now. Yes, I had not eaten any since I come back from USA...
This year around this time, I am moving on in my life. I am resigning from my current job and move on to the other one. My current one has a nice working environment and surrounded by friendly colleagues and boss. I learned how things are done, but not necessary the best way to be done. I learned how microships are processed before shipped and I am gladly involved. I learned my weaknesses and I hoped I can overcome it to make things right.
2010 is coming to an end soon, but another new journey in life is awaiting for me.

6 months of work
From ego to work, to bored of work and now I enjoyed my moment at work. Just that I hate the part that I have to wait for problems to come to me for me to solve. Yeah, this might make me sounds sicko, but I enjoy solving problems and happy when i closed case. That's is called job satisfaction.
Colleagues are friendly and my working environment is peaceful. Perhaps, I have not seen the bad time yet.
However, this might all change soon. Not much, hopefully...

Broga Hill
We gathered at Khong's house, situated at the centre of KL, to spend our night. You know, when a bunch of friends are together, they normally don;t sleep much. We woke up at 2.30am, and start our journey to Broga Hill, which is 40km away from his place.
It took me 50mins to reach the bottom of the hill (yup, I drove all the way there to practice my driving skill for the coming road trip) and the sky was still dark. This is the 1st time i saw starry night in Selangor. =)
I would said the whole hill climbing is divided into 3 phase: 1st, u need to pass through a palm oil planation, 2nd is a jungle and 3rd is hill full of lalang.
Going up the hill required good stamina. It is very physically challenge, especially when the sun is not out yet and you are in total darkness. However, the higher you climb, the stronger the breeze is, and that make u feel comfortable.
The sunrise is a nice one, but I think I still prefer sunset the most. :P
After the sun had risen, we had our way back for a nice dim sum breakfast. You know, going down hill is a total story from going up hill. It required more skill than going up hill and is tougher.
However, no matter sunrise or sunset, the accompany is the most important of all. To all my friends.
Today, this trip reminds me that, I really need someone what likes all these adventures, natural scenic views or city exploration, to leave footprints around the world with me. :)
ps: I was road blocked my the police during my way to Broga hill. We can't find our way and I was blocked twice. By the same police. Even they also laugh at us. Haha

Graduation Thoughs to A Friend
Few days back, I visited the Monash graduation website and saw your name on the graduation website and you were awarded the title: Bachelor of Engineering (with Honors) in the field of Mechanical Engineering.
I felt so weird. Happy and sad at the same time. During Mufy time, we had lots of fun and you were my information source as it was my first time leaving home, doesn't know how the outside world looks like. Today, I manage to familiarize myself with this place that I stayed for 5 years, half the credit should goes to you.
Remember that everytime I visit you at your room, you will give me the best seat in your room, offering me mango juice that sometimes the taste goes weird? And everytime, my comp got problem will seek help from you, which sometimes make things worse? Even though it get worse, I am still not sure how u manage to fix it in the end. Do you know that I start naruto manga is because of you? I copied the anime from you and that manga had made my life wonderful? You do influence me, for what I am in some way.
During Year 1, i was highly stress with group project because of the last minute work. u are the very last person who struggled with me, even though I might throw tantrum, but I realise i am still fortunate that at least a friend is with me. Remember how I teach you for electrical and structure exam the day before both exam, causing me didn't manage to do my revision? Actually I was revised in a way, and I am glad you pass both.
I realise how bad my temper is, and currently, I had slightly improvement in controlling them. Your graduation is coming, and I hope I will be manage to hear your name from outside, and I will clap my hands for you, deep from my heart.
Regards,
Jian Wei
ps: Do you like the flower I placed at your little space there? It might not be nice, but i took me quite some time to think of where to get it. =)

人生GPS寻找我的Cheese??
我是个路痴。路走了整百遍,我还是很不确定该如何走。但还好有了一台GPS,虽然有时指示充满误导性,最少不用担心迷路。现在的我可说敢驾车出门,全靠它了。渐渐地让我觉得如果没有它会觉得没有安全感因为怕迷路。这无形中抹杀了我应锻炼的“走错路,不要紧,像办法找出路”的心态。在公路上迷失了,还有路牌,地图或GPS,要不然问问路人也许能得到答案;在人生这条大路,问再多的人,参考再多的书,最终只有自己要对当下的处境作出分析与决定,才能达到自己的生活目的地。
刚看了 Who move my cheese 一书。故事说明四个角色如何在迷宫寻找cheese。故事内容简单不过,里面的道理也许大家都巧得,但知易行难。大家会说Haw很笨,我也会这么说,但回头看看自己,自己何尝不是这样呢?在人生的迷宫里,人们害怕改变,担心失去自己已经拥有的东西。但改变后也许得到更好的也说不定。书中的Hem当感到害怕做出选择时,曾问过自己:What will I do if I am not in fear? 自己现在也常问自己这个问题。别让恐惧影响我的决定,要让自己冷静下来,仔细思考,才做决定。否则,我发现自己往往一直在逃避问题。
我也想拥有人生的GPS来寻找我的Cheese,但也许自己更需要跌跌撞撞,才能得道磨练吧!
我不要做草莓族!!

Wake me up when September Ends
Yet, I feel that I am still stepping at the same point, not moving forward.
Wake me up, when Spetember ends.... *yawn*

梦
你主动牵了我的手
我也鼓起勇气拥抱你
那一刻
我觉得很幸福
很甜蜜
但我还是松开了双手
离开了你
梦醒后
想起那场梦
虽然有股冲动
想告诉你我爱你
但我知道我不能拥有你
因为我不想伤害你
更不想伤害我自己
对不起
请原谅我的自私

独立53年,那又怎样?
2004年之后,负面新闻不断涌现。政商勾结,贪污腐败,滥权打压,施政不公,种种事情令人感到恶心无比。而人民也用选票来表达悲愤,造就了308大选的结果。308 后,以为各政府会有些长进,但反而每况愈下。联邦与各州政府担心选票流失,根本不敢大刀阔斧的改革。现在的心情只能说是恨铁不成钢。53年了,我们还在内乱,各方自我制造假想敌人,为什么不用这剩精于力来为国为民了?说穿了,各方也自为各自的名利斗个你死我活而已。当然,当中也有为人为民的领袖,但简直是凤毛麟角而已。我们90年代,自豪的稳定政局哪去了?
90 年代,我国经济表现亮眼。许多外国公司来我国设厂,使到各行各业的发展都欣欣向荣。现在,外资撤离,通货严重,失业率攀升,但根本没看到官老爷,想任何应对策略,来亡羊补牢。经济蛋糕没变大,反而缩小,一小撮人没有帮忙想如何弄大这块蛋糕,反而想法如何让自己分得大块点,还祭出种族牌来理直气壮地讨蛋糕,真是贪得无厌。国家经济,是国家每个个体的贡献,大家都有权利分一杯羹,不是吗?邻边国家经济正逐渐起飞,越南,印尼,菲律宾等,曾被我国抛在远后的德国家也迎头赶上。当我们还沾沾自喜能聘请廉价外劳时,殊不知自己国家输出马佣/马劳的日子,也许不远了。我们的强势经济成长哪去了?
近年来,宗教与种族歧视叫嚣,各领袖媒体发表各式不负责任的言论。为什么53 年了,我们还要攻击其他人的肤色宗教,而不是尊重呢?旅游局喜欢向外国宣扬我国是文化的大杂锅,这也成我国的特殊文化。各族拥有各自的文化,理应互相尊重,互相帮忙保护他族的文化。但这美好的共识,近年来被有心人士严重破坏。宗教场所被攻击,宗教圣物被羞辱,数年前我们嘲笑印尼发生宗教被攻击时,为什么同样的事发生在自己的国土呢?我们和谐的社会哪去了?
在国外,人都对我国子民精通多种语言而感到羡慕,这是令人骄傲的事。世界上,有多少个国家能像我国让人民个自学习各自母语的机会呢?殊不知在国内,令我们骄傲的特殊教育体系面对着艰辛的挑战。很多时候母语教育被有心人士视为人民团结的绊脚石,但往往这些人看不出,很多时候是行政上的偏袒。奖学金发放不公,学校内这有固打,那又限制,没被特殊照顾的一群心里会平衡吗?被特殊照顾的心生莫名的优越感,又会怎么看待其他人呢。教育和政治理应楚河汉界分得清楚,但很多时候,教育政策往往是从政治为出发点,破坏了教育的本质。教育理应向空气一样,免费又容易得到。但当人们用有色眼镜来看待教育时,掌权的一方想对另一方设下诸多限制,试问教育体系里提倡的有教无类哪儿去了?
扶弱济贫,没有错,但政府对贫弱的定义却令人百思不解。贫弱的定义,不看能力与金钱,反而看肤色,是定义下错还是别有所图,就不得而知了。把自己族群归类为贫穷,如果是真的,也许能帮助许多真正许要帮助的人;如果不全然真的,只会灭自族威风。在国外,人们对自己需要他人帮忙而感到害羞。如果并非真正需要,也不会寻求帮忙。但国内的歪风是有钱没钱都觉得自己需要帮忙,使到往往真正需要帮助的人的不到应有的帮助。马来西亚人的骨气哪去了?
国内司法治安也令人忧心。司法公正让人民灰心,因为许多案件的审判往往是出自于法官对宪法的诠释,而非从普罗大众的利益出发。犯罪率上升,使人即使在家内,也不觉得安全,出门了也感到提心吊胆;外资也不敢来了我国投资,因为失窃案层出不穷,会造成无谓的损失。警界贪污滥权造成小撮警员不务正业,与其用这些时间精力来抓贼擒盗,往往遭殃的是小市民。和平请愿遭打压,无缘无故遭找查,使市民怕那些害群之马的警察多过怕贼盗。被喻为人民之友的警察哪去了?
独立53年,那又怎样?即时独立60年,甚至100年,人民与政府思想不进步,独立xx年也只不过是个没有意义的数字而已。

孤单旅行
当我以为自己找到时,她的一句话,让我醒了回来。就像Inception电影的一句对白:
Cobb: Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.
别做梦了。继续孤单旅行吧!
孤单旅行
演唱:何耀珊
當我睜開了眼睛 卻沒看見你
我才想起 難道你已經離去
當我走進了客廳 覺得太安靜
我才感到 真的一切變得好冷清
*就算我努力試著面對 卻還是不知如何相信這一切
從今後你不在我身邊 誰給我勇氣面對快樂和傷悲
#真的要開始了自己 這場孤單的旅行
走在同樣的生活裡 過不一樣的生命
該怎麼開始我自己 這場孤單的旅行
你依然住在我心裡 我依然想你

Inception
Yesterday, went for movie with Doi and I think this is one of the best movies I had ever seen. Going into the cinema without any expectation, I came out from the cinema stunned!! This is definitely the best movie I watched this year, or maybe since last year, or maybe since the year before last year, or maybe...
Trying not to be a spoiler here, thus nothing about the plot will be discuss here. The director aka the writer too had such awesome imagination and unique way of telling story which make it so exciting that you never feel bored. The storyline so unpredictable which makes you so eager to know what will happen next. You can't feel that 148 minutes actually passed so fast as if you are dreaming. You wouldn't want to miss a moment. However, there are many layers in the story which might make you lost track. So, concentrate and let your imagination wonders you around.
The ending is the most cruel one but keep your imagination going on. Until now, I am still puzzle with it, and I think I had quite a serious post withdrawal symdrome from the movie. This movie is definitely worth acedemic study wise.
Leonardo definitely did a great job. I never see his movie after Titanic which makes me out of track of his acting improvement. Only then, I realised that Zac Efron, who wants to be his successor, is shadowing him. Still more work to go, Zac.
I am giving this movie 4.9/5.0 as it fulfill my desire for a scientific, action and romance movie after such a long time. Those superheros movie definitely can't fight. Haha

Hi Jian Wei, Happy Mother's Day
Thanks mum for bring me to this world, and nurture and guided me. For 23 years without giving me up and being patient. I know I am not a good son, but I really hope I can spend more time with you.
Besides, always, i think i am lucky...
From primary to secondary, my best friends stay with me...
From secondary to NS, my good buddies stay with me...
From NS to Pre-U, my camp mate and sec friend stay with me...
From Pre-U to Uni, my coursemates stay with me...
From M'sia to Aussie, my friends accompany me...
From M'sia to USA, good friends work and travel with me...
As I move on in life, more and more friends are getting into my friend list. All these while, I was and am lucky to know lots of awesome friends, that accompany me through my ups and downs. However, my life will move on as i chase my dreams. Going for a new journey in my life, to a totally stranger place to me. Physically, I will be alone, but i know, my families and friends are supporting me... Of course, more and more friends will be coming, into my wonderful life.

Cool Jay's Corner
Then, I moved on to blogspot, which is where my current blog is located. Same as the previous one, this blog accompany me lots of my time, where my friends are always updated with my current activities and know my feelings.
From after PLKN to my pre-u, then my university life, from Australia till work and travel in USA, both blog showed how much I experience in my life, and hopefully I showed a little bit of my personal growth. Now, moving on is my working life. Hope my life is as interesting as the previous...
I had being a blogger for 5 years... And i am glad that I have one (or maybe considered as 2)...

One week after working
Yeah, is weird, but i really like my working place. The working environment is much much friendlier than those I used to have, and my colleagues are around my age which makes me able to communicate easily. The working time is flexible and you have lots of freedom. Of course, with the basis that you get all your work done.
After work, I tried to occupy my time nicely. I made myself have lots of outdoor activities as possible. I go swimming, jogging and now, planning to start a work out program, to lose my weight and gain muscles. I will be controlling my diet soon my cooking food with less salt, less sugar and less oil. I also obtained some books from the community library, to broaden up my knowledge. I downloaded a computer game which i like a lot, and enjoyed going out with friends for a dinner or perhaps a movie during weekend. i believe these things will keep me busy for quite sometimes.
These days, more and more job offers are coming and I rejected quite a lot. I am waiting for a better offer than my current one. Guess, I might not stay long for here. Should I take the left lane or right lane??

The Neither-student-nor-worker period is coming to an end
I am stepping into the social university where learning never end. I will work as an engineer, work hard for myself, my family and my future, or maybe for mankind.
Although this is my 5th job, I feel uneasy. There is no longer and days for me to countdown when my working period will end besides the day of my retirement. Wondering about the working environment, colleagues, and even challenges in job, I believe now that I have to face everything alone. Physically, of course. Mentally, I know my family is always behind me supporting me, and my friends are always there to spare their time and ears listen to me. At least this make me feel that I am not totally alone.
Although I had spend 4 years in Sunway, and months in NS camp, Australia and USA, I know that I still feel uneasy staying out of house. That day, when my mum accompanied me to my current staying place, I knew that she was sad. But, she supported me and respects my decisions, not blaming me for leaving home, looking for my career. I appreciated that and was touched in my heart. I know, in my mum eyes, I am always a boy, that never grows up. However, there are lots of problems that I solved alone without telling her, tonnes of lies that I made, hoping not to trouble her but sometimes make her even more troubled.
What will I be in the coming years? What will happen in the future if I took a different path? Perhaps, no one will know until the time has come.

Orlando, located in the Sunshine State
Orlando is a city located in Florida state. Florida state is also known as the sunshine state as it is always warm throughout the year. Orlando is famous for having lots of theme parks. I get to know this place through my friends as they get to work here in the same program in a park that I would be mentioned later.
We reach Orlando at night and we check in into an inn in Kissimmee (yeah, spells like "kiss me"). The place we stayed is called Knights Inn. It is around 30bucks per night per room which is a great deal. However, it is located very far from most of the theme parks and we spent quite a lot on cabs. Although free shuttle (is singular, it only provide once a day!!) is provided, we were not able to catch it most of the time.
The first day (21 Feb 2010), we made some mistakes on the shuttle and we ended up heading to our 1st theme park, Islander Adventure. Out of all, I like this park the most as the roller coasters are nice and followed to there themes.
This is one of the street and guess you will like it if you are a Marvel heroes fan.
The 5 themes in the park are as followed:
The second theme park that we went is Seaworld (22 Feb 2010).
This park has less thrill rides but you have a lot of animal shows to watch. You have
The third park we went is Busch Garden (23 Feb 2010).
Four days of trips, we covered four theme park. I would probably go to Florida again, especially Orlando as I missed the Disney World there (is disneyworld, not disneyland. So, you should have guess how big it is in Orlando with 7 theme parks. One park per day can let you play the whole week). Besides, Miami beach which is underneath Florida is a nice place, I think...
Next stop: The SIN city, LAS VEGAS~~

Starting a new life soon
Compared to previous years, this time, I believe I need to be more independent. Guess I will be alone most of the time, facing the problems I had in life. Especially, for a driving noobie like me, I will be driving around the "new" environment and it will be a great challenge. Hope i will be safe and sound.
Something puzzled me these day after reading a book. Perhaps, I need to make a decision and come out with a plan. Of course, I required some guts before coming out with any decision. Should I or shouldn't I?
Working life, how will it be?? Hmm.....

New York City Trip
13 Feb 2010
The day before, I had to work till 3am (YES!! IS 3 AM). Then, after that, my friend drove the rented car to NYC. Due to tireness, I slept in the car. When reaches NYC, we took a city tour package like what we did in Boston. We started with the most boring loop, the Uptown tour.
Basically, Uptown tour is travelling in the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood in NYC is peaceful but i think is not that spacious. However, it was a peaceful place.
M&M store
The largest Toy r Us store is also located in NYC, with a feris wheel in it.
Where are the above both stores located? It is at the famous Times Square. I highly believe this is the most expensive place in the world. As this is the centre of NYC, the world most populous city.
Times Square
By the way, on the road 5 out of 10 cars will be a cab. Seems new yorkers are pretty proud of the cab. They even made a statue to symbolize the icon of new york city.
"Taxi!!"
It is Chinese New Year, and I believe it is one of my highlight in my life. We allocated the most important trip on this day, which is the downtown trip.
The largest store in the world
The tallest building in NYC, Empire state building, before the twin tower is built and after the terrorist had attacked NYC
However, I myself was very exciting to see this:
Statue of Liberty
Even now, I myself, still can't resist its beauty...
Ok, i know, this look ugly
Evening, we took a ferry cruise to go around the island and underneath the brigde. The night view of NYC is splendid...
Night time, we went to the Top of the Rock, to view the night view. It was rather winding and chill. The picture below shows the Empire State Building. See, the light is red. It is not normally red. It is red as it is Chinese New Year...
At the entrance of Top of the Rock, funny name yeah...
Of course, Times Square is as merry as always. We found a nice spot to take a photo of four
15 Feb 2010
Today, is rather chilling. We have more time walking around this USA most population city. Morning, we went to Chinatown and found a Guan Yin temple there. We prayed as we didn't do that during the 1st day of chinese new year. Then, we went to a famous restaurant, Congee House (something like that) in Chinatown, and we had our "reunion dinner".
Not only that, Chinatown has quite a lot of nice chinese grocery =)
We also visited the 911 incident place, the twin tower. There is a memorial centre for it and lots of information for the incident is there. Feel like I was there, cause everything is so familiar to me now. The airline, the destination and all those photos. As if I am witnessing the whole incident.
A construction is taking place at the old address of WTC
The tour guide share his photo collection of the WTC Twin Tower
Make sure u always remember =)
We took the subways around the city
We visited the Wall Street as well. This is one of the most financial district in USA. you know, the share of USA took place here?
Night view of Wall Street
Koreatown. just like Chinatown, but this is smaller, just one street
This ends our NYC trip. We might just explored a ice tip of this city, but the memory is always there
Places that you should go:
- Statue of Liberty
- Top of the Rock
- Chinatown
