Pangkor Vacation.....!!

So 5th of November ....Its actually the anniversary of a friends passing 5 years ago..but It has been 5 years..and I better celebrate his life rather than continue to be sad. He be in my thought always. This year the date fall on a Saturday and a day before the Aidiladha... and that means an extra day off on Monday... !!!

13th of November 2011 is the 4rd seminar and where 5 assignment are to be handed in. So Today (Tuesday 8th Nov) we will be focusing on all the assignment final touch and my day job too. So to better prepared for a week of full concentration, I need a short vacation .....and island Vacay!! Pangkor!~!~!~!~!..... huuuu!~!!! yeah!! Hehehehe...
So this year, 5 of us went to Pangkor Island....our activity are swimming in the sea, sleeping in a freezing resort room, wacth tv, eat dinner, play card, swimming in the pool, eat late dinner, snacking in front of tv in a freezing room, eat snack, eat breakfast, swim in the sea, continue swimming in the sea, riding around the island atc... so..the summary of activity would be Eat,swim,sleep, wacth tv,swim ..hehehe...yes that the thing that really relax me. I hope my friends enjoy it too. But this is not just a vacay..it is also a mission to finish my assignment for photo communication ..thanks to mang for the info and skill shared....
But the Sea, the wind, the fresh air, the amazing view, the warm sea water, the sun ....really make me melancholy...I started to miss someone...and wishing that someone was there with me....all the way back home I can’t stop thinking about that someone. Erm..... so lar weird.. I guess Island really has a great impact on me.
On the beach I had a lot of thinking done, what if...I finally say it out loud what my heart is saying, would it make any different? Honestly I don’t think so; it may even cause you to lose friends after that. But I always wanted to do so...problem is I am trained to be a nice person, I don’t have the strength to do that since I do not want to lose a friends or someone I care just because I say it out loud. So let’s keep the real Ben inside. Let the world see who they want to see...maybe someday you have that chance to do it.. but it will be when I have nothing else to lose.
Ok need to get back to my assignment this has been a nice break... huhuhu...

November Vacay!! Yehhhaaa...!!

Yes...it’s true that I did have a lot to say during October...but this time around I can’t even open a word program to write anything... just too hectic to handle two different job at different location at one time. It really give a new understanding on how multitasking really work for you, tapi burn out is indivertible.



But on a light noted I be going on a excursion to an island this weekend. Although it supposed to be a photographic trip where I should be taking pic for the last 4 assignment to be done for Photo communication course. But in reality it a time to relax near the sea...but with the camera at hand why not do another “multitasking” where we enjoy the excursion and finish our assignment at a stress free environment right?


Sociology....this subject fascinate me a lot....I totally would love to take the subject as a major but well I don’t think that is it possible. Since the subject does not have any direct relation with my job as a government entry level staff. These are for researcher level jobs I guess. But nevertheless it is a fun subject where we learn about communities and culture and after we learn the basic we started to see a pattern in our own circle, see the cultural change and the ethno-centric behaviour or how our friends without realizing it is a bit racist in a way. But as a student of sociology we must be un-bias but keep hold of our own understanding.


What I saw at immigration office...what I heard is that the immigrant is taking over; works for the local are limited. But let me ask you youngster.. if I give you RM2500 a month but you would be doing hard labour... would you accept? For the immigrant a month minimum salary here is a year salary in their own country... so yeah of course they would accept the job offer even with minimum pay. Like our nurses here...they are paid RM1800 a month average RM21600 a year. Overseas they are paid RM 12 500 a month an average of RM150000 a year plus two month paid leave....Ngko mmmammpuu??? Hahahahaha..to much exposure to immigration info I guess hahahaha..


I can’t wait for my small vacay this weekend... a nice swim in the sea would be very nice... owh yeah need to get sun block lotion huhuhu...


Salam Aidilahda to all my friends!!

The Hectic October

First this is a truly hectic month indeed, and maybe I may need to do more that my normal once a month blog.

The first thing is that, this month we had more than two seminar at the university, got more than 5 assignment and 3 quiz and online assessment to be done. Owh... yes and the reading for the subject also need to be done in order to be able to do the assignment. That not all we had to learn the basic photography technique and the produce a portfolio for it too. Almost all assignment had been done and only the photograph assignment 2 and 3 portfolio is yet to be done...suddenly came the sociology assignment and yes that add to the number of assignment to be done by October although the deadline is in November. The Hectic month of October indeed for me as a student.

Then come the workplace hectic-ness, I was sent to the Immigration department on-loan basis to do some data entry for the ministry, yeah sure seem to be ok at the moment but then come the problem when our officer went on maternity leave and the other officer does not seem to be around. I totally can just say anything to the people coming to the counter but the problem is , it may not be the correct instruction and may lead them to do some unnecessary documentation and further delay their registration. So yeah although we seem to to have anything to do at the moment, we are actually trying to figure out whut are we doing here and what should we do? This is truly a “Tragedi October” situation here...aiyooo... help... dunno what to do at the moment.....!!!
My nephew got bitten by and insect , and i am worry about him,  many more accurance that seem to be centred in October... so yeah a hectic October indeed!!!!

Happppyyy BBBddddaaaayyyyy NNNNNEEPPPHHHEEEWWW ROOMMMEERROOO!!!

The September Skies

Its been a while since i wrote anything but the thing is, i could have not find the word to explain what had happen to me this month, because the fear that the nobility of the event would be obscure by it. but i would like to say something about the changes i see with me...

in September skies after 18th it seem my life have totally change, i used to sleep late because i was watching drama on TV or VCD or Anime...now i am sleeping late because i was catching up on my reading

My bed used to be messy because of magazine and mangga... now, its messy with print out noted and texts books. plus a camera that i borrow for the class on photography.... which remind me

I don't really have a knack with photography, i usually be an object within the photograph, now i am reading and practicing basic technique of photography because it a compulsory subject in my course... but that is justified because my course relay heavy in media so... the need to at least have the basic in photography.

I register as a part time student but it felt like i am a full time student because i am almost always in Campus for the past few weeks to manage my resource and yeah some application for sponsorship and what not.... then i felt student life again.... RM5 can get you a full set of lunch, where as at the office RM5 only get you Afternoon Tea... going to bookstore and spending more time at the reference section rather than the fiction section which is my fav section of all. and actually going to library and do some extra studying,

opening up the computer are not just for reports and facebooking but also to do research for the assignment the lecturer given...

i am a bit tired and sore.. from all the reading and extra traveling... but i am not stress at all...and now i was wondering what with all the stress during full time student life...you have all the time to do reading an assignment and you don't have to plan your study time around your working hour... full time student is a blast in my POV....It what i wanted and what i dreaming of.... me with a student badge... hehehe...and i am thankful for all the hardship it cause me, because it make me felt more alive than before..

The Miracle of August

15 august 2011… a miraculous day indeed for me.. Because on that day something that I prayed for was answered…. I wanted so bad to return as a student, felt that there just something incomplete that I would really like to get done… and yes it was to continue my studies… these past few years, I can say there are many chances for me to continue but there is always a reason not to. There is the financial reason , the time reason, then the focus reason and many more. So I just justified everything as “it is not my time” to do so.. So I waited and waited and waited until one of my friends say..” ala apply jer ben, dorang terima, ok ler, klu tak dorang ler rugi….” A funny quote from my friend Mohd Farid Shaar…. But dude.. From that quote I followed what you had said and yes I was accepted…with all the obstacle before hand, the path become clearer and everything just become obvious..it is time to return Ben… return back ….and complete the uncompleted mission that has haunted most of your adult (adult??) life….huhuhu…. Like a Rogue ninja, returning to the hidden village to become a legendary Ninja (just watched Naruto….bare with me kay..!)

I like my course coordinator… he called me by my name and not the usual “bob” and actually remember what I say to him during the interview we had….The Name My Parent gave me is JOVEN… not sure if my mum and dad actually knew what the real meaning of it when they gave it to me, but in Spanish It brings the meaning of “Young” it really explain a lot of stuff though… but to hear someone calling you..”mr ‘young’ joven..” is really funny and but I like it because someone actually remember your name and their meaning.

I am a bit homesick also during this month….I miss my baby nephew Elden at home… and of course my nephew Romero too… but during fasting month, when we buy food at the Ramadan bazaar you cant help missing your mother and sister cooking….dun know why but I miss my mum chicken curry and my sis ‘ayam masak kicap’ plus suddenly a few days ago I kinda miss my grandmum fried rice too… been to a few bazaar, yet never seem to find any as good as theirs..

Sent my dear lappy to the lappy hospital, and the diagnose doesn’t seem to be good but what to do, I need it, especially now when half of my subject are writing subject and the mode for study are mainly online forum so…a full upgrade needed hehehe…

The weight update…after 24 day’s of full fasting but grand break-fasting…only manage to shed 5 kg… actually not bad, but if you tell the doc that he would say “you could lose more than that..” But an appa wouldn’t be cute if it look like and eel hound rite…(Ann the last airbender….) huhuhu

That all I guess for now…huhu…

End of JULY 2011

(supposed to be posted on 31^st July but just realize that blogger was ban from the com huhuhu..)

As always wasn’t able to do blogging the whole month, actually to be honest I did not really felt the time passing the whole month, I really did not realize that today was the 31^st, and wonder what happen the whole month of July..

I knew a lot had happen in July but I just could not find the time to actually wrote anything….hey I think I have the same line like last month… huhuhu… I really think I need more time for myself…. I want an island retreat …hehehehe… maybe soon I guess…

Some stuff that I felt was not really suppose to happen yet had happen because well the people involve did not think what they did can effect other’s ….you advise other that the thing you do was not for material gain of personal solution to your personal problem yet you tell everyone that’s why those chosen one are allow to do it because “kesian” they have personal problem….So stupid that’s why lar people are talking behind your back. You reason are so selfish. Huhuhu….

But not all that happen during July was bad… I mean Harry potter last movie came out…and It was amazing……a very great end for such an amazing story….. I wish It never end but well a story should have an start and an end….. and it was legendary….

Another Legendary stuff that happen during July was …I went to watch the LIVERPOOL football team playing against Harimau Malaya….as everyone know I am not really a football fan but when we have 85000 people screaming like there is no tomorrow it was an amazing experience ….really amazing indeed

Owh almost forgot the stupid demo that happen at 9 July 2011, I am not sure if they got any massage through.. but I think the guy who had a sex change and die after her pled was rejected made a much more meaning full massage.

Got myself a great book this month and although only gone thorough 40% of it.. I was really nice… only need to find the best time to used it… oh yeah need to find a purple pen for a spell I been practicing hehehe….

Owh yeah July also was the month were I started using crystal again. After a few month I did not use them because guess to much confusion ….happening after the last time.. guess I a crystal user after all..

Erm…. I wanted a galaxy tab….but the whole month of research just advise me that I wouldn’t be suitable for me financially huhuhu… even the big book of everything financial said so…huhuhu…so maybe a playbook instead? Hahahaha….

Missing my dear nephew elden….:-( and nephew Romero too… but that the thing about being a hermit….family are always far away….on our journey to self discovery and cultivation of one own virtue…It a code …so if you don’t understand don’t worry it not meant for you….huhuhu…

Welcome August….bubuy July and also welcome Rahmadan….boleh jadik cam dua tahun lepas tak? Hilang 7kg…well try our best I guess….!!

Saturday morning in June….

I don’t know why I cant seem to find the time and stuff to put in the blog recently… there was a few times where there is a very interesting topic to write about, but then the timing was no rite and at the end of the day never got to write it down…

One thing I learned recently is that what people consider to be an easy job in reality is not..i mean I went to a course recently…and from the detail of the task is not really something easy and there is a lot to do…. But if your good, it seem that it was a simple task indeed..but again when you actually doing it… damnnn so complicated…

Went back home for my annual mid year holiday to relax and recuperated….only have a few day leave so gonna make full use of it…. So really was spending much time with family especially my new nephew Elden….the newest member of the family…wait Elden first name was Jericho….yeah I know Spanish rite… hehehe….just like his uncle … and also went shoping and just generally enjoying myself with sis jess and nephew Robbie….since he finish studying already…CONGRAT nephew Robbie…some ritual was perform at the house after the mystical news of an paranormal engagement. which I am still puzzle why and how did it happen…but I am glad that the ritual when on great and ok I guess..... my schedule during my mid year was so pack that I was not able to meet some of my friends..sowie about that.. some many thing to do yet so little time but at least we enjoyed our time spent together rite..

Came back from the holiday, got a course to attend to at Jalan Elmu,which is a remote institute with no café and the food are ration so yeah I was totally hungry all the time… but then again the trip was fun and the knowledge gain was priceless…the new friends encounter also was great, sharing experience and stories from different department was a good way to learn new and comprehensive method to learn new and exciting technique… was what a long statement hahahahaa….the short version was a camp with children that have a lot of experience to share is always fun… hehehehe..

Currently still in bed listening to radio bayu and reminiscing my home town..huhuhu….

Congrat to Bro Dino on your wedding day ya….. have fun everyone there….(huhu…so sad tak leh join…) huhuhuhu…

The huggable ben on a Saturday morning in June….huhuhu….
