After obtaining salary, paying bills and debts.
Current salary can make me survive nowadays?
I have no extra money to spend anymore!
House loan, cable tv, internet, mobile phone, electricity, water, assessment, quit rent, security, toll, petrol, medical insurance, life insurance, house insurance, food (lunch only+breakfast or dinner occasionally), car maintenance, bank fees and etc...... There are still a lot of hidden cost of living.

I was quite worrying and frustating on the road recently. Fracture shoulder and leg of my colleague who is a motorcyclist. Risky! God bless......
Less Jam? Cheap? Convenient? Dangerous? Risk?

It had been quite some time I did not watch latest Hong Kong drama. I watched for 6 episodes on Sunday. Again, I was too lazy to start reading and researching.
Actually I streamed this drama due to parents showed interest in it. We watched it together. This drama seemed interesting as there are stories about 5 women fighting within a family. Hardly to imagine how's the husband managed to control his wives.
I am quite happy today as I have a great gathering with my university friends. There are only 2 of them. In fact they are a couple. We chat for quite long and do really enjoy ourselves.
Thanks buddy. I am grateful and cherish to have you people as my best friends.
Today is public holiday of Hari Raya Haji.
I go to have a window shopping in Paradigm Mall. This is my first time visit to this newly opened shopping mall this year. Nothing is impressing as this is just another large shopping mall. There are a lot of shopping malls and they are just the same.
There are a lot of people in the mall. A bit awkward to look at those couples as this makes me feel I am a freak. I am alone. I just can't control myself not to think in this way. Struggling......

I was not sure is that an advise or a scold? In my point of view, I learned something new. For me, it was an advise. His working experience is excellent since he was in this field for so many years. He knew very well to supervise students' projects. However, there were negative comments about his history. I hope he is not as bad as other people mentioned.

I was a bit curious about the following stories of this Taiwan drama series - Family Harmony as I was watching it after work everyday. I accidentally found the drama from youtube. Therefore, I watched a few episodes with "drag and play" method.
The love story between Lee李正男 and Xiao萧汉昇 is full with obstacles. Such a pity couple.
I have a bad mood today. Perhaps I am over worried. I foresee my coming year heavy workload. I don't think there is equality. Please be more understanding. I am very tired. Can I just quit? Mega Toto, can you help me to fulfill my dream? I want my life. I am really tired. Don't ever ask me to swallow others work.

I was watching The Vampire Diaries Season 4 yesterday. I noticed that this drama has quite a lot of sexual scenes. Perhaps, this is the reason why people like to watch this drama series.
Anyway, the main actor, Stefan and actress, Elena do not have hot figures if compare to the sub actor, Tyler and actress, Caroline. Both Tyler and Caroline are much more attracted to me.
I don't know what is the reason. There was a guy in the course caught my attention. He is in his 30s. A short guy with spectacles. I like his smile with long teeth. Looks young and approachable. He is a Malay guy.

What is the main criteria to become a good speaker?
I think if the speaker managed to catch his or her audiences' attention and interest on the presented content, then he or she is a good speaker.
Unfortunately, I attended a course yesterday and one of the speaker's performance was very poor. Her talk was uninteresting and I really did not understand what she was talking about. I was wondering how did she obtain her professional degree. I guessed she is in her 40s. She should have several years of experiences in presenting. There were too many question marks in my mind.
I did present on a given task as well. I was wondering about my presentation performance. Was it good, average or poor? I felt I used a lot of gestures and intonations during the presentation. I felt I was talking rapidly. Overall, I thought it was an attractive presentation. Or I was just "self-shocked"?
Recently there is a news about a Asean scholarship holder + NUS student + Malaysian sex scandal. He posted his sex video clip on his blog.
In fact, this news really caught my attention. Indeed, it caught most of the people's attention.
Initially I thought he is stupid. He brought a lot of unnecessary troubles to himself. After I try to think about it, he is really smart. Obviously his aim and objective to become popular is achieved. I am not sure about his intention on this.
In term of morality, he should not do these. However, I respect his courage to do what he wanted to do. Bravo!

I was attracted to numerology as I had a discussion about it with my colleagues yesterday. It seemed like quite true and interesting.
Am I potential to be a leader in my life? I was being told I had strong potential on it. However I just need to make my life busier and meaningful at this stage. I want to do a lot of crazy things. However I was restricted by myself as I am not living alone. People are watching at me!

Eventually the office was in renovation. Anyway it does not affect me as the renovation area was a quite far away from my place. A waiting area was allocated to prohibit people from coming into the staff area.
I was wondering about the "feng shui" on the renovation area. Unfortunately, a master mentioned that it wasn't the right place and right time to do the renovation. Hopefully everything will be alright!
There are a lot of bills in recent days.
Monthly: Electricity, water, internet+cable tv+telephone, mobile phone......
Semi-annually/ Annually: sewage, assessment, quit rent, house insurance, medical insurance, life insurance, legal fees for transfer and charge, toll, car maintenance......
Hardly to have cost saving! Is it worth to travel so far to work? A harsh decision to make. Should I stay or should I go? Again......scratching my head to think about it. Hate to listening the roof leaking sound as raining heavily outside now......
Today I have a stroll with my dad in the nearby park. Not many people went to the park. Most of the them do not utilize the facilities in the housing area.
It is quite sad that there are vandalism in the park. All of the basketball ring were gone. Perhaps they were stolen by some irresponsible thieves. No wonder there isn't anyone playing basketball. I thought of playing due to no people in the court. Unfortunately it can't be played due to no basketball ring.

I finished watching a drama series with 37 episodes within last 2 days. The title of the drama is 宫锁珠帘.
I was dragging the timeplay bar all the time as I was only interested to know the storyline of the drama. I am attracted to the king in the drama. If I am the king, I might not be a g0y since there are so many pretty girls who treat you extremely nice. All of them are really beautiful.
I prefer two of them who are 憐兒 and 玉漱.
In spite of that, I like the cute eunuch 太监蘇培盛 and sexy general 李衛.

I was taking a nap in the afternoon 2 days ago. It was such a bad dream.
The dream was about my dad. He was fainted and unconscious due to unknown reason in the dream. I was trying to awake him but it didn't work. Then the story was just end and I can't remember the following incident for this bad dream.
I have one belief about dream among my family members. We should tell the bad dream to other people who is not the protagonist of the story in order to prohibit the dream to become a reality. It is something like breaking the spell or bad things from happening.
Does it sound familiar to you? Do you have such belief? I only told the bad dream to my mum just now as it was quite awkward to talk about it. Here is a funny thought. I created my own rule on the belief that we are allowed to tell the bad dream within 3 days. Now I am relieving since it is still within 3 days.
I used to be influenced by other people when I was in my secondary school.
There was a pretty girl junior being boycotted by her peers in the society. When I think back after the years, I shouldn't believe one's party words. Now only I feel I treated her badly at that time. The girl who talked bad about that pretty girl was not work in ethics as well.
Now, I have a colleague who influencing people quite a lot. This time I am not going to get influenced by her easily. There are others who change their mind for their study path after listen to her. Well, I may consider what she had mentioned and take as a reference.
She is not a future predictor. I shouldn't merely believe on what she had mentioned. I should believe on my own heart say. Keep it up! Perhaps you are going to refer to my teaching philosophy in the near future. Unless you are not teaching in the higher learning institution.

I had a great discussion with my colleagues during our lunch yesterday. It seemed like our profession and degree are not being appreciated. We hardly obtain a good pay with our degrees.
There are a few colleagues plan to quit soon. Should I stay or should I go? Does company become more appreciate to those who stay? Or the company is going to further make their life more difficult to cover the job by resigned staff? Let's see how later!
I read a news about a foreign university is going to set up a branch here around my area.
A bit looking forward as I am quite tired with the long and hectic journey to and fro work nowadays.

I was quite pity on the students who were asking me for project supervision.
I did not want to take them as project students because I have to focus on my own study. I already had a few students under my supervision.
I am kind of "soft-hearted" and may considered to accept the supervision job after the conversation. They seemed helpless. I told them I may think about it. (Luckily they went for other as supervisor)
Today I am involving in a learning. It is so called an active learning.
However, I found out that active learning is not really an effective way for me to learn without my prior preparation and investigation on a particular subject.
In fact, most of the educators are still not well-trained on this delivery method. Besides, learner are diverse. So, how do we able to cater the different learner at the same time to achieve the learning outcomes? Perhaps, self-regulated learning is the best method. Perhaps how to motivate a person to keep themselves in self-regulated learning is the challenging part. Studies on psychology and background of a human are required.

I browsed on JPJ website yesterday. I noticed that the Automatic Enforcement System (AES) is going to be enforced at a big numbers of places. I was not sure whether they are in operation or not by now. It was not being stated clearly in the website. I only knew the phase 1 that is the 14 spots which are not affecting to me were being operated a few weeks ago.
Therefore, I am quite worrying as I was speeding on the road nowadays. I was impatient to drive a 80 or 90km/h along the Federal and KESAS highway. What the heck! They are highway! I paid for the tolls. I was speeding reasonably at 110-120 km/h. I hope the routes that I took and going to take in future are free of AES. Else I was not sure how long can I sustain in the stressful driving journey on the road daily.

I was wondering about my salary after a discussion with my colleague last 2 days ago. Am I underpaid by my company?
In fact, it is very poor if compare to other well-known institutions or corporates/industries. I knew it from the conversations with my colleague, ex-coursemate and my buddy recently. However, there are too many things to be considered. Distance...... Workload...... Working time...... Environment...... etc...... Indeed, I was quite stressed up on the journey to and fro between my house and company since two weeks ago. It was much or less from the influences from my mum.
Should I stay or should I go?
I think I am a bit depress.
I feel my life is dull and I have no passion in my life.
I am alone. I wish to be in a team but I just closeted myself. I think I live for responsibility only at this moment. I hope I managed to come out from this dilemma. I just can't step forward. Luckily I am not feeling to cry.

Yesterday, I was trying to set up my old pc which I bought at the year of 2003. It was being unused since I bought my notebook at 2008.
Now only I notice that the computers' lives are quite short. They last for about 5 years only. There was still a pc that bought by my dad around 1996. If not mistaken there was one more from my sister as well in between 1996 and 2001.
The old pc that I set up yesterday had a lot of problems. Perhaps the RAM is not compatible to current antivirus. It made the pc became very slow and hardly to use. Now I only can leave it as a free of antivirus pc. I am worry it will become a free virus pc later.
I am thinking how can people survive in a big town?
It is really expensive. The food is too expensive. I had a shock during payment for my lunch.
Do you know how much does it cost me? It costs me 7 bucks for a 3 dishes mix rice (1 meat + 1 vegetable + 1 egg). Sigh......how to survive in the town? Even though the portion is quite much but I don't expect this kind of price range. This is the most expensive mix rice that I had ever pay for. What happen with the salary adjustment? Life is so difficult nowadays. Town's girls are commonly demanding. That's the reason I chose to be single. This is what my close buddy told me too.

In order to utilize the UNIFI, I did stream a lot of videos.
Yesterday I watched Tooth Fairy 2 as the movie title caught my attention. In fact, this is a fun and relaxing movie. Even though there isn't any cool and handsome guy in the movie, I still enjoyed it a lot. Now only I know, the belief of tooth fairy who is responsible in collecting children baby tooth underneath their pillows. Perhaps this is the western's belief but not asian.
In spite of that, I did watch Street Dance 2 a few days ago. This movie is quite nice as I love to watch dancing a lot. The actress is attractive. Unfortunately the actor is not. I am not racist actually. However, I am really wondering why don't they find a caucasian instead a white as an actor. It is because the actor and actress are not really match in term of their looks. Anyway I did enjoy on their energetic dance. Latin + Salsa + Pop + Hip Hop......Cool......
