Tomorrow will be another switching transmission in my usual daily routine….as some of my colleagues will be moving to another place while some other will be leaving the company soon. It’s been a great experienced to be able to be with these guys and gals because they all are so friendly and cool. Like Graham, who will be leaving to work with an international company…he is really a great guy as he is the person that taught me how to play CounterStrike…in which I never play before during my school years. Others like Pauline…she is a nice girl….feel very relaxed each time I talk to her…. Really gonna miss them….but it also good for them…as they could find their own way in life and move on. Sometimes I do wonder myself if my time is up for me to work in this company and should try to work in other place. But somehow I do feel a little reluctant to do so….as finding a new job is a big hassle to me…..somehow I hate all the interview thing and on the spot exams that they might give….it usually waste a lot of time and effort….and in the end….usually they will said something like "I will keep your resume for future reference if we ever need to hire more people". And another thing…I really have get used to being in MiTV….the environment here really suit my style….though sometimes it is a bit "free of work" in here….but hey…no work means I got more time to do my own stuff….not bad what. Moreover, I promised myself that I will work here for one year during the time before I enter MiTV….I just dont want to change job that easily….It wont do any good for my resume. Now only left with two months before my self-enforced "one year contract" will be expired. Then…most of my friends might be not around anymore….and only then I think the time has come for me to go. But somehow…I do hope that something might pop up and changed my mind about leaving this great place…

As it implies, this chinese saying translated as "permandangan semasa matahari terbenam amat menakjubkan, tetapi masa malam sudah dekat" (dunno how to translate in english :P). This saying actually means memorable incidents are always undescribably good, but it usually does not last long. It’s true…good times often passed by so fast. Although the great time might have been lasted for years….often it feels like it has only passed a month. I saw one comic strip that somehow describe these words in a unique way. The comic is from Calvin and Hobbes. Those who see this comic knows that Calvin is a very mischivious boy that has a very amazing imagination…and he always hang around with his stuffed tiger, Hobbes. Calvin and Hobbes has always been my favourite comic strip…sometimes the reason I browse the The Star newspaper was to only read this comic strip. One of the strip goes like this:-

Calvin said: In the SHORT term, it would make me happy to go play outside. In the LONG term, it would make me happier to do well at school and become successful. But in the VERY long term, I know which will make better memories.

This joke really make me smile, not because it is funny, it is because it so genuine to one’s heart. From small until we graduate, we often told to study hard in order to find a good job in the future…it is good to be able to fullfil that….but somehow….we might have lost some of the good times that we could have with our friends or miss out some adventure that we could have experienced when we are still small…..it is kinda pity…..as if we are now lives for the future…..and neglected the present…..but somehow enjoy the present and care less about the future is also unacceptable…..some people lives because of wealth, fame, recognition, power etc…..but to some other….they just want to have a great time with friends and family…..other things is not that important…..therefore it is important for us to know who we are…..and what is our objective in life…..only then we will truly see the beautiful side of this very world….somehow i start to understand why people said "It is a wonderful world we live in"…..as everyday we heard about people dying because of war, disease, crime, or commit suicide. Maybe it is because happiness is often very short…..so we could then always remember to treasure that moment more and more each time it comes…..

Chinese New Year has passed two weeks since i came back working in the office after a long break. Nothing much has changed, except that it has become more and more quiet each and every day. Everything seems like on a pause….waiting for something to happen. My company is undergoing a corporate changes,and the changes somehow go very very slow….and most of the routinal work is on hold until further notice. Somehow I dont really like this kind of sign….it is like giving a hint that something bad will happen soon. Some planning to find a new job, other got transfered to other department. As for me….well nothing affected, I m still a content developer for the web…..not planning to go anywhere also…..because I like it here…..but the future of the web team is still unknown. Just hope that thing will get better in the near future.

Recently I have been to Penang with one of my bestfriend from Tar college. It has been a memorable trip because although it is tiring, I feel satisfied about it because it feel like an adventure rather than just a trip. When we arrive there, we just hang around nearby Komtar and Prangin Mall, as both are one of the symbol of Penang, so no excuse not to go there. Not much inside, basically Prangin Mall is like Kota Raya + Sungei Wang combination and as for Komtar….is just empty, not much to say about it. We also go look around the classical building around there and took some picture on it. The best part is the next day, whereby we go to Batu Feringgi to see the seaside. We manage to see some old boat and village, which are something very rare in KL. We even go venture inside the hutan Penang whereby the small road is full of ups and downs hill and we have to use about 25 minutes to cross over it to come to the sandy beach. What make it worse is that we are carrying our 7 kg ++ bag all the way to it! It is not easy, but somehow we manage to overcome it. Feel very proud about that. We also been to the Kek Lok Si temple whereby we saw many statue and carving that are full of artistic sense. We also manage to climb the tower in there…which is more than 8 storey tall…still carrying our 7kg ++ bag. I somehow feel like a mat salleh that like to travel around carrying their huge bag on their back. Because of this trip, somehow I start to like traveling adventure. You can’t really expect what will happen, but there always something new out there waiting to be explore.

Recently The Star newspaper has a new section that boast and describe about anime cartoon and comic book. There is a sub section whereby anime lover can post their art to publish on it. I have try to send a few of my art that I have done previous and to my surprise, one of it is published on that section today. It is on page 17 of the Variety section of The Star newspaper. It is Belldandy from Ah, My Goddess! comic book, one of the art that I did 1 years ago. Never really have though it could make it on newspaper…because I think there are hundreds or thousands of good art that could have been chosen also. Although it is on newspaper, there is no prize…it just like if they like it, they published it. But nevertheless, i do feel contented about it because my art could finally reach more people other than those that only surf the net. Really felt thankful. Thank you The Star!
