Monitoring System

Launch!

Yay! SAPS points

At the end of this trimester,my SAPS points is half of what i got last trimester.
Somehow or rather i just love to see statistics!

Think out of the box!

"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds..."

In recent days I feel this quote being chanted out loud everytime i come across someone that didn't think big.

I too recall of making a comment on the day when i return from my holidays and resume my trimester here in MMU. It was a comment on people. Till today that comment still hold true.

What is your deepest fear?

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

To fail

The notion that you are inevitably going to fail, is much more painful than the notion that you have failed, because it has yet to happen.

1,2,3s...

The first is think. Think about the values you wish to live your life by.


The second is believe. Believe in yourself based on the thinking you've done about the values you're going to live your life by.


The third is dream. Dream about the things that can be, based on your belief in yourself and the values you're going to live by.


The last is dare. Dare to make your dreams become reality, based on your belief in yourself and your values

Chicken or Eagle

One day a hunter went hunting and saw an eagle. He took his rifle and shot the eagle at it's nest.

He later went to it's nest located at the ridge of a cliff and acquire it's eggs.
So he took an egg back with him.

The egg hatched and he place the eagle hatchling with chicks and raise them.
Soon after the 'eagle' began pecking like a chicken. And did all things of a chicken and couldn't fly.

From being a predator to being a prey. The hunter wanted an eagle not a "chicken".
So the grief hunter decided to "change" his "chicken" back into an eagle. So he took his eagle back to the wild.

He then threw the eagle off a cliff with a deep valley. The eagle was plunged to its death.
The frightened eagle grew anxious and eventually flapped and flapped its wings. Moments before it fell to the bottom, it flew and rose to the sky.

This story tells us that who we mix with and what we perceive is vital to success.

Dold

This is Dold. The doll owned by Trystan. Inspired from the popular anime series-Bleach.

In the anime Bleach, where the Bounts are introduced as a race that consumes human souls.
Although the individual Bounts originated at various locations throughout the world, they have a distinct German theme. For instance, the German language is used in their incantations and the names of their dolls are distinctly German.

Mine is distinctively Swedish because I bought my Dold from IKEA. The name Dold originates from one of the names of furnitures available at IKEA.

Dold's statistics:

Dold is Trystan's doll, embodied as a wooden figurine of a man. Dold's ability is to manipulate it's physique to resemble and to emote expressions in most of it's forms. Because of his rough, solid frame, Dold is impervious to basic sword attacks and most other physical damage. Dold also grants Trystan the power to feel motivated and artistically inspired.

Outing: Bukit Jalil Park

During one of my trips up to KL, i went to visit a close friend of mine, Camille.

We met up at Bukit Jalil Stadium and head off to Sri Petaling for lunch. After a gruesome drive around the place ,trying hard to maneuver in heavy traffic, we finally got back on track and went to Bukit Jalil Park for a long chat.

Then we came to this lake. I was amazed that there's so much fauna in it. Camille claims that when she was younger,she used to come here and there's a lot more than what i saw that day.

Man, there are so many turtles in the lake. And damn, there's a lot of fish. The lake was so full with stuff that when i reach down into the lake and grab something. A turtle came up.

OK that was a little exaggeration in it. I put my hand in the lake and it drew attention. And so came the turtle. Curious turtle we called it. Or was it silly turtle?
Nevermind. So i grab it by the shell(8 inches wide) while it was still swimming.

Ever tried that without plunging into the water, amazing feat i tell you.

Turtle: What da' fuck you want huh?

Yeah CK and Nelson if you're seeing this. Yeah it's a turtle.

Maybe i should rename this post as Turtle Adventure or something.

Outing: Around Melaka

Extra extra! read all about it

When i first got a forward message on my Yahoo! Messenger about a guy that committed suicide/ jumped off/slipped off( as prefered by newspapers to uphold the reputation of my University), i didn't give a damn.
"So what, none of my business" i thought.

Becaming road pizza after committed suicide/ jumped off /slipped off from the 18th floor of Ixora Apartments just became the hottest topic around campus.

Conversation would go from something like this:
Mel: Wah, budak alpha jump from Ixora leh!
Stan: If it's suicide. He should just donate all his organs first. Maybe even his money.
Mel: If he didn't had money?
Stan: Well it's still dumb by jumping off. The people's money is wasted by using public services.

To this:
Stan: I saw my YM yesterday, tons of people forwarding messages to me about a guy that committed suicide or various other versions. His friendster also forward. Damn mou liu.
Yong Meng: Ya i heard! Gamma or Delta student leh, very active in CLS one.

Even lecturers are interested:
(while in lift)
Mr. Senthil: Prepared for midterms already?
Stan: Of course. It's just 2 days away.
Mr. Senthil: So the boy that jumped from Ixora, he is a FET or FBL student?
Stan: He's a Gamma student for sure.
Mr. Senthil: Oh, I'm still wondering whether he's a FET or FBL student.
(lift opens, i shrugged and left)

TIP:
If you want to kao or chase a person that you don't know in my University, walk up to her and go about with this conversation:
Guy: You stay in Ixora is it?
Girl: Ya ya.
Guy: Yesterday what happened there ar?
Girl: Oh, (various versions of a human falling down from the 18th floor)...
Guy: So where were you when it happened?
Girl: Some place.
Guy: ....(continues)
Girl: ....(continues)
(Proceeds to take down her number)

There you have it-you've just made the initial step.
Preferably if she lives in Ixora Apartments. Tested effective.
*Outcome may vary from person to person. Age factor: 12+. Guy and Girl each sold separately.

How would you want to be remembered?

G.U.T.S.

How exactly to be more successful:

If you tell everyone around you: "I hope to be successful." Then you will surely fail. As your hopes gets bigger, so goes your failure. Because you only hope. Hoping is just a mere qualification of success.
Hope to be --- 60%

The next approach to be more successful is that, you mentally tell yourself:
"I need to be successful." It's ok. But that's not enough. Because sometimes you need to be, sometimes you don't need it.
Need to be --- 70%

Let's look at the next- " I want to be successful." Good progress but there's still a tendency of failure. Again, sometimes you want, sometimes you don't. Some people want more money, some want more property. But at the end of the day after striving hard at it, some just give up and say, "Don't want also nevermind lah."
Want to be --- 80%

" I must be successful !!!". We are getting there. There are people that hope to be, need, want to be and must be successful in what there are doing. But still we didn't make 'being successful' as our top priority. So we grade it:
Must be --- 90%

So we all might be wondering, what's 100%?
...
..
.
Die also want! If we look at many unsuccessful people, they don't have something. They don't the " Die also want!" spirit in them. Take a look at some couples, the guy chase the girl, the girl chase the guy. The parents protest and object to the relationship.
" I don't care. I love her!!!" Some even scream until they can embed their finger nails into the walls and climb walls." I love her no matter what others' say! Die also want!"
Then you'll be successful. If you don't have this spirit, most of your things you do , you can't get it right.

Seen a baby before? If a baby could talk, he/she will say:
" Mommy i hope to drink milk...mommy...mommy..."
Sorry man, mom wouldn't be bothered and fall straight back to sleep.
What usually happens is that the baby will scream and whine:
" WAAAAAAAAA WAAAAA....NYAHHHHH..NYAAAHHHh..
(whatever sounds kids make when they whine).
And when the bottle comes. The baby attach himself/herself immediately to the nipple.
That my friends is a 100%.

人要比车凶

I always say this to some of the people that know me : 人要比车凶
"Ren yao bi che xiong." ( A man must be more fierce/agressive than his car)

If you've ever watched Initial-D the anime series. You'll only hear it in one conversation between the drivers. But when i heard it, it strucked me. It was years back, but today i still remind myself and my friends that seek advice about this.

In life it's the same. You must be in control or else the situation will be.
It's the same with driving(in the case of Initial-D, it's racing), you must be in control of the car, or the car will be in control of you.

Now take charge and don't let the situation or challenges 'dapao' you!

TriStan the Rant.ist

Recently I've met a friend that gives me puzzle of names, usually jumbled up words that forms into names. Most of which are reall easy. Don't need no bombastic Da Vinci code or anagrams or complex algorithm knowledge to solve.

One of the puzzle that the friend gave that struck me was a simple one: Rantist

Thoughts came to mind:
1. The ranter. A very very witty blog that i read.
2. Similiar to the ranter, but as a different noun-rantist.
3. Sounds like rapist or dentist. Urgh. Nevermind.

When arranged properly it becomes: tristan
No wonder.

So I shall continue to rant and rant.

My brother's name is Dennis = Sinned, oh wow.... i finally get it.

So what's yours?

Your neighbourhood hero

I recall when i was in my Beta year, which is my second year in my university. i rescued a girl in a playground in my neighbourhood. It was well past 10.40pm and the area around the park was pin-drop silent.
When i found her she was squatting by the see-saw, sobbing away silently. I arrived short of 3 minutes. The gang had already left her.

She was mugged by 7 or 8 men. She lost RM2000 in that incident and she didn't knew what exactly happened. But she knew who to call.
Still clutching to her phone , i walked her to my house and called a friend and subsequently called the cops. We went to lodge a police report soon after.

Days before the mugging, my housemate's room got entered by a conmen. The conmen asked him to go upstairs to turn off the main water switch. Now, like any sane person, we all know that the main water switch is outside and not on the 1st floor of our house. By the time he realised this, the man sped off on his motor with his wallet and phone. Leaving behind burst pipes and broken toilet with water flowing everywhere for me to fix up later. In the first place he let the man into the house thinking that he was the plumber that the landlord called.

We lodged a police report for the house break in the same day as the mugging, since my housemate thought it was convenient then.

...

Today, not donned in my super hero outfit or rather in my normal civilian clothes, the non-opinionated 'Rakyat', i went to get fuel for my friend's car that stopped cos' it went out of gas. It was pouring hard that night and i had to walk 20 minutes in the rain to get to the nearest gas station. The car stopped after fetching a few friends back to the apartment since it was raining and they were trapped in the pouring rain under a shelter.

I can't spin webs or fly through the sky but anyone can help someone else by having a good heart.

You ask this you'll be the president

If you ask 2 questions during Parent/Teacher Association meeting, you'll be the chairman of the association at the end of the month. You just have to speak up these questions during the meeting since no one bothers to speak up during the meetings and it gives you ample time to balance yur chequebooks.

First Question: " How do we raise more funds and money for the school? I see that the school need more money for courts and other facilities."
You ask this and you're ensured 50% of the post of president.

Ask something like: " How's my kids doing in school."
That my friend earns you a post of the secretary.

Figure out the other question that gives you the other 50% of the pie.
So speak up!

Never live in fear

The tradisional mindset from the education system teaches us to make less or virtually no mistakes. The core teaching of the system is to get things right, and if you don't, you'll get rejected by the system. It makes us dwell in fear. Fear of making mistakes. The very mistakes that makes us grow.

I always say this to my friends : " When you fail , don't lose the lesson. Learn from it."

Whenever i see my younger peers, i see it in some of them. Not daring themselves to push the limit and be exceptional. Just merely living the mediocre life.
It's high time to make that change. Believe that you can!

Today for Engineering Mathematics Quiz:

1.What is the total sum allocated for the 880 projects under the 9th Malaysia Plan that our prime minister announced 2 days ago?

2.Which part of Indonesia was worst hit by the recent tsunami?

3. Some i,j,k vector ,angle and plane equations.

After seeing the questions, i was like... Okay... interesting... are you serious you want to ask those in a maths class?

I'll bash you up

First of all let me vent myself by saying a few fucks : FUCK FUCK FUCK !!! Damn you cao bangla! Lakia!
If i know who you are, i'll crush you!

Anyway,

Cool it Stan... your house just got broken into by some pencuri, and thank God nothing of yours and your housemates is stolen except for a box of coins. I just can't come to peace with my mind that some dirty hands went through touching my clothes and undies. Damn...
