I would die for you...


We all have had our share of fallouts with our parents right? Many of us are more or less linked with fallouts with our mom (majority) in this fast-paced lifestyle. We fight, but not the good fight. Honestly, there aren't many filial sons and daughters out there. They're very scarce, like an oasis blanketed by the abundance of sand. I myself daresay that my fallouts during my younger years were very horrifying to behold. I did things that hurt her, brought her nothing but tears of pain and an unquestionable credibility of her being a good or bad parent. See? Now I suppose some might wonder why the url blindbrickhome is being used. I told a friend that it was a combination of three inspirational songs.


Lifehouse-Blind, Ben Folds Five-Brick, Michael Buble-Home


Now when I look back at it, it doesn't really make much sense. My mom practically drowns me in her love; only reason for me holding back was because my friends blinded me. Mom's a brick; she drowns me in my sea of shame and embarrassment amongst my friends. Peer pressure that time was pretty much the "in" thing. The only reason I have a home is because that's where the most inspirational and touching adage manifests itself. "A family that eats together stays together." Wherever I am, whatever I do, it all has to return to square one.

Yes, there were fights. It wasn't all lovey-dovey 24/7 but we managed. I hate to swim in the Ocean of Self-Pity; it's so dark, depressing, cold and stirs inferiority in my confidence. Cheers!

p/s: No parent would ever want to torture the child extravagantly; unless you asked for it or it's for your own good...

I'm so "perasaan", someone save me!


I was under the perception that some girl likes me but I ended meeting up with her boyfriend that turns to be a friend of mine from church. Deja Vu I have to complement myself. Do I want to continue to suffer under the scorching sun of "perasaan'ess". Good Lord, after all this years I still have not figured out what is right and wrong for me.

Still, I owe certain people some credit because they have made an impact on me that will change my lifestyle and perception(contradiction of charateristics). Thank you all who have helped me; can't name them for fear of their lives. Anonymous sources aren't so credible but they'll make do for now. Cheers till the next entry!

p/s: I thought of a "very good" quote. "The world is ugly because "beautiful" people view it contrastingly as opposed to "ugly" people. Depending on which station you tune in, viewers ratings will vary from time to time. *IMHO*

Debate people! Full of melodrama as constantly witnessed by many viewers on tv and newspapers. How I savoured the drama when a debate took place last Friday at uni. The journalism students held a debate last Friday, 20 Oct 2006 on two very controversial issues which has been bothering many of us either incessantly or pervasively.

i) Sensitive issues should be discussed openly and in the press
ii) Racial harmony and national stability is more important than press freedom.

i)
Government consisted of Bernard Cheah, Mei and Alex. Opposition consisted of people whom I couldn't recall their names. It all started pretty well and at the same time, it looked like Government was on the verge of victory with BC? and Mei kicking things well. IMHO, I thought they really creamed the Opposition with their expansive use of language(a bit of "exaggeration here...). Though I pitied the Opposition, some of the facts provided by the government were a bit shaky in terms of credibility. It spawned fluctuant thoughts. Putting that aside, I was a bit disappointed that the Opposition armed themselves with soft examples. Using rape wasn't the smartest move.Eg:Noritta Samsuddin was a really bad example because she was raped and murdered. How can that escape major news headlines that would carry the reminiscence of NS? I have to say that it's a very weak example. No offence.

The Government did make a major flaw when Alex, the final speaker burped an important note but baked it very controversial. He mentioned that rural people are the uneducated and closed minded ones. It is because of them that riots run wildfire. But I thought that he might have a point downstream. No, nothing floated.

When both teams had finally summarised their points, the audience began their quest. In short, majority of the discussion revolved around Alex's "point". Pity that guy, I've been there and done it. The other matter on hand also was the Kg Medan issue. Some said that it was a racial issue, others got the essence of the story. Truth be told, it all started when two families there had separate occasions. One a funeral and the other a wedding. How come these people don't understand tolerance? Give and take, the world is unfair. So what? We are all attached to what irks most.

All in all, I had to print a very long,unnecessary lecture which I felt didn't really do justice to my point. I was rambling my ass down there with everybody looking at me as though I was some preacher's kid. That's the story for the day my honoured audience and readers...Cheers!

Work work, just started my new job at Maxis KLCC. Promoting wireless broadband and helping people understand the benefits of having this promotion by Maxis as compared to Streamyx. No one can deny the craze that's engulfing this world with 3G all sprouting out like mushrooms. Here, my other colleague is busy walking around promoting but I'm stuck here because I don't have the Maxis Broadband t-shirt. I can be considered as an "illegal" working legally. A bit of a contradiction there but let us not ponder over it further.

Gaining knowledge here with Maxis here is pretty easy. After all, being the "tech-savvy"(not so) I can safely conclude that I owe my handphone a very big thank you as it has helped me understand the more uprising issues like MMS, 3G and so on. Also, thanks to a few friends of mine who also are my "enlighteners" in this uprising tech domain that we all live in.

First day of work here is pretty okay I suppose, it's just that I feel a little bored as my colleague and I haven't bonded really closely yet. FYI, he submitting his resignation letter in a few weeks time after serving the company for about two months. Another FYI, Maxis Broadband isn't under Maxis Corporation. They're sub-contracting it to another company which is Aircel Telecommunication(M) Sdn Bhd. I'm under Aircel, so I do my job and I get paid. No questions asked. But there is a bad feature to this job. The two big Bosses of Maxis Corp is above my head. They just love to pop by any time of the day which means that I can get my head decapitated any given day if the wrong or not precise info is spitted.

I made a sale. The customer was a nice guy with two boys, very polite. Managed to get his sale, thank you Sir! Well, now I'll just be wating till my shift is over at 6. Meanwhile, I better stop here because I hate to lose my job on the first day itself. Moreover, self-pity is only for people who wallow in it without bothering to think about anything else that might change their lifestyle and way of thinking. Till then,cheers!
