Do you have a classic, one track mind? Many people not only pay attention to just one task at a time but often focus on other things. While we can take some comfort in knowing that having great ability comes from concentration effort, most of us also realize that when we click or zero in, we tune out the rest of the world. Others will be needed to step in line of our vision while we are watching television or snatch our material away while we are simple reading. To get our attention.
Which is good actually, when you're not alone in your own room, outside where you will need to be aware of the surrounding. On the street which you may actually get hit by a car or truck !!!!!! Happy tree friend story re-enact.
The purpose of the post/tread is just another rubbish one for me to kill time. Or should i say, something for me to do other than studying, in which i had not been doing properly, shit.

Living in the present
When you were a kid, did you ever wish you could see into the future? Most kids wonder what will happen to them as the years pass by and they grow older. Where will they go to school? Will they go to college or university? What about a career? (My mentality at the moment), Will they get married and have a family?
This kind of thinking doesn't end when a person reaches adulthood. Singles wonder whether how they will turn out to be in time. Small kids dream about how high school life is gonna be. College and university freshmen wonders about their eventual career path, older people prepare or worry about their retirement years.
Human nature compels us to look ahead with wonder. Dreams of future make the awfully nonsense we go through worthwhile. Anticipation of future events gets us up in the morning and force us to plan for tomorrow. It's what separates a man from his best friend, his dog.
The Israelites in Exodus were no different from us today. Faced with an uncertain future and an immediate need for food and water, they started grumbling. While they had always labored during their years of slavery, at least before Moses and Aaron led them out of Egypt.
God heard their cries, and responded by promising to provide for them. Those of us who read the bible know the story well, at least the fundamental part of it. Each morning, flakes of bread appeared on the ground. But no one could store what they gathered. Moses instructed the Israelites to gather only what they needed for the day, strictly nothing more, nothing less. Tough to do when we always pre-plan for our own future. For the Israelites, storing food for future survival.
Why was God limiting what they gathered?
Because the Israelites needed to understand what we need to learn. Is to sustain a good relationship with God in the present.
Our past is nothing more than the story of how we got to where we are. Indulging in the past cause us to become stagnant, and pretty much unsatisfied when the present is not comfortable as it was. We can't find God by worrying or dreaming about the future, in which i did too much and still is. But the point is that we should live out our relationship with God in here and now. God longs for us to trust him all the time.

Otak/Hati
Here's the deal peeps, as some of you guys already know, i got accepted into MANU (University of Manchester).
Initially i applied for chemical engineering in MANU, but because i missed a fucking grade, so i got rejected.
But days later, i got notify from MANU that I was accepted into mechanical engineering instead....WTF !!!!
So here's the dilemma, i had always wanted to do chemical engineering, but now, the university that i had wanted to go, offered me another type of engineering.
So now the problem is that should i take up the offer?? MANU is one of the top university in the world, not just in UK.
I also have another choice which is to do chemical engineering in University of Nottingham in semenyih, Malaysia.
Which one to choose???
Let me list out the pros and cons
Pros for MANU:
-Top uni in the world
-I'll get to learn more and be more of an all-rounded person
-I might be able to transfer to chemical engineering !!!
-Lots of taylors college students heading there in MANU (so what?)
Cons for MANU:
-It UK lah bro, expensive....
-I might not be able to transfer to chemical engineering, remain stuck in mechanical
-Mat salleh hate cina dude like me.....LOL
-No friends.....
Pros for Nottingham:
-I'll get to do chemical engineering without any worries
-It's a much affordable choice
-It's in Malaysia la, so i still get to meet up with wahai kawan-kawan...
Cons for Nottingham:
-It's too ulu, absolutely nothing there, no one knows if i die there
-It is not as reputable as MANU, both generally and engineering wise
-I never wanted to go Nottingham to begin with
Should i risk it just for the sake of going into top uni??!!! However, if i do not go, i will probably never have a chance like this in future. If i do go, i can at least say "I've been there and I've done that" and have a good sense of achievement. Looking into my reason to pursue chemical engineering is only to enter oil and gas industry upon graduation because of the gargantuan income.
Basically, that's the whole story. Another bad thing is the intake for both MANU and Nottingham are in late September. Almost less than one month time to decide.

Epitome of not so indie-ness
At the moment in this ungodly hour, i really have nothing to blog about. So I'm gonna stress on what had happened so far through out this time. I am now in my threshold period, as other people would say, holiday.
How long had it been?? yep, 3 months of holiday, from June till now.
First, around mid June i finished my last paper, which is account. I still remember how pissed i was back then because i was stuck studying while the rest of my mates are enjoying and celebrating that A-lvl was over for them, well they did not took up account in A-lvl. There's only around 5 persons in my class who are doing it so the minority of us were staying back and was trying our best to kill more brain cells of our own la.
So around mid June also, was prom, it was OK. Yes i know, all these are very overdue events, but i had never mention any of these in my blog before , so why not now.
Anyway back to prom, it was my first time in a formal suit !!!!!!
ok lah , not first time, but first time i looked okay wearing something formal la.
Not a bad start huh?? so stop calling me a cina apek or petaling street dvd peddler for once.
Anyway, not everyone in my class attented, and worst off one of us, got casted out and sat somewhere else, due to some seating policy. Plain sad huh? tell me about it.
Moving on, July, lots of random things happened this month, from various outings to.........erm...... nevermind, just outings.
So early July, for the first one or two week, was just chilling at friend's house, just a group of miserable people who have nothing better to do, gather around and talk. Still remember one of this night I did not sleep at all, till morning and drive back home just like that. I know this is nothing much of you party-wanker out there, but for me its new. My reaction was blardy delayed the whole time, while driving back home. Delayed as in
1+1 equals ...... erm 2
Some sort like tat.
Next is Bon Odori, same issue, I had nothing better to do at home, so i decided to attend this shit for once la. I can assure you that, it is not as fun as you think. The place was flooded with people and buying the stupid over priced food is another hectic story.
You practically have to wear a helmet and fling a chain saw around while shouting I AM A TERRORIST !!! just to get to the que and buy food. Everywhere i go, i get to smell a mix scent of food and dust *cough cough*. At least got to kill one day and spend time with friend lah, so that's the only plus point.
Recent events,
My church JIC, had a rooftop BBQ party, i help to prepare for it. Finally, for once i help out for something, as i has always been a lazy prick.
That day was sure tiring, i still remember that i reach there at 8.30am in the morning to attend a talk by a prominent speaker from Australia, he was good !!! The talk elaborated on quite time, thou the arse straining plastic chair is not really my liking.
After that i helped setting up for the party. During the party itself was quite interesting, especially the sketch, totally hilarious. Sadly, i did not stay till the end of the party, was too drained out. Cut me some slack, i stayed from 8.30am till 9.00pm. You can throw in some sympathy right now.
Next, the not so fun story, A-lvl results.
I did very badly, so bad until i wanted to cut myself and burn down my house and cripes myself in there. The result released online at GTM 0.00 for UK timing, so which means here in Malaysia it's 7.00 am. So i practically stayed up till 4.00 am, could not take it any longer, dozed off, wake up at 6.00 am and waited till 7.00 am.
Typed in my user name and password....
in the end....
stunned...........
and i got crazy, took a shower and walked to KLCC and watched GI-Joe. I desperately needed it.
I'm not gonna elaborate futher on this topic, or else i might go into crazy mode now.
Last week,
Luther came back !!!!
My secondary school friend who had betrayed Malaysia and migrated to a greener country, Canada. Jackass traitor. In case you are reading this, I'm just joking.
So Chin Meng, Luther, Jann and I went for Ming and Terry's play,
the Wish Upon the Crane
It's about some Japanese girl had leukemia and die trying to fold 1000 paper crane so she can make a wish or something.
Ming and Terry's acting were good and creepy, their characters were the black spirit, or as i call it, hantu hitam.
So they painted their face black and white to portray the freakishness.....
and also as a tribute to Micheal Jackson.
Get the lame joke??? Laugh dammit !!!
Well, that's pretty much what had happened during my holiday.
Tomorrow, the not so efficient ucas online will finally update their status,
I will then know, whether the universities in UK accept me or not. If i am too stupid to study in UK, i will enrol myself in University of Nottingham, semenyir campus.
Either way, I still have to wait for one more month as the intakes are all in September.
Sounds like a plan to me. Just have to keep on waiting,
now that's sad, but as if i have any other choice.
