Yesterday, my friend and i went to a program called “Corporate Grooming”. The program is from 8am to 10pm (as stated in the tentative given). well, i can’t said that it helps me in transforming me into a well rounded corporate since i only attend the program at 8pm, which is a dinner time. You think i’m stupid for not going into a program that i had paid RM35?

i do wake up before 8am. i was watching movies all night. While watching the movies, i do offer my friend to go for my place but he is not interested to become keparat (corporate is somehow keparat) and i dun have anybody to ask at that time since it is at 3am. So i went to sleep knowing that i definitely won’t go to the program. Why i won’t go? I dun know either. But this is what happens.

At 8am, my friend do wake me up (actually, i had awake already since the sound of them showering is very loud) to go to the grooming. i went to my other friend room and say to him that i won’t go to the grooming today. i just dun have a feeling to go. He does seem like disturbed with my word. Maybe thinking that i’m an idiot for not going after paid for it. i went back to my room, lock the door and continue sleeping. What a great sleep i had since i woke up at 3 pm. Hehe.

i do think that i definitely can’t go to the groom anymore. Then, my friend that had gone the morning session told me we’ll have dinner tonight as our closing ceremony. Well, i dun think i wanna miss this. This can cover the money that i had paid (even though not very satisfying. i still feel hungry.) and see the people who handle this program.

Well, the most unsatisfying thing there is that my chair is not facing the stage. They have a card on the table with our name and photo to make us easily find our place (i dun get any of that card for souvenir). They do phone me in the morning asking whether i would come to grooming and ask whether i could at least come for the closing ceremony (since i said i’m busy). i said that i’m not sure that i can make it. Maybe that’s the reason they put me at that position.

The first performance is an undead dance (dead like people dancing. The undead girls seem sexy. Haha.), followed by a band performance, solo piano performance and lastly an Indian dance (it seem like Indian dance but who cares). At the end of the dinner, they have a short fashion show (their motif is that they sell it there if we wanna buy it. nice move).

After i finished my desert, the time is almost 10pm already. i had a meeting at 10.30 later and i dun think i want to be late for that. So i skip the photo session and said to my friend i go home first. The road to my hostel is not so far and not so scary. The best part is it, is its raining and i’m wearing a formal cloth with an old leather jacket that i got when i study at PASUM (i got the title Van Helsing at PASUM wearing this jacket).

At the time i study at PASUM, I always put this jacket on my head when it’s raining to avoid getting my head and bag soak. I did the same today, and the smell of the jacket makes me wanna cry, such that I had found something that i had lost for many years. i wear this jacket everyday when i’m studying in PASUM. Even thought the weather is hot, i still wanna wear it. Along the way to my room, i said to myself “i don’t think it is a waste for coming to the dinner. It reminds me of who i am, how victorious i had been at that time, the time where there is no such word as give up and tired, the time that i always said “if i think i want it, its mine already, only God can stop me to achieve it””

    Wow, such a good blog. Congratulation. Ko sgt misteri la irsyad. Aku berharap sgt dapat jumpa ko masa ko kat PASUM dulu. Mesti banyak memori best. Kalo aku dapat masuk minda ko masa kat PASUM dulu mesti sgt menarik. But for you to think, it is the past. We look the past as the result what we did, and the future is what you are inventing. And present is what you will act. So, do so sad or down or anything. Aku kat sini kalo ko nak citer ape2 yg ko rasa nak lepaskan. Aku sanggup mendegarnye. Cheer up irsyad. The future are coming to us. So, plan well. Kita sama2 menuju ke arah yg lebih baik. :)

    Depends. Depends what type of person you’re. For you, the past as the result what we did, and the future is what you are inventing. And present is what you will act. For me, the past is an investment for a project, the future is the successful of the project, and the present is the management of the project. Well, frankly speaking, i’m not a person i used to be. I left it behind somewhere to be what i’m now (happy, many friends, happy). Let say the person what i used to be is the project. And let me tell you this, you really don’t want to know what the price i’ve paid for the investment, what is the successful of the project, and what i need to manage for this project. It’s unreasonable and you might think i’m overdo it. But a project is a project. Even though you abandon it for many2 years, as long as it is still yours, you can still run it again. You just need another investment. And you do know, investment is not cheap. What i had in mind now is reviving the project and what i need now is an investment. I wish i don’t have to use human as investment as i did before. (Now i sound scary isn’t it?)

    Maybe I agree with the last statement that you said. Yes, to achieve something, you must loss something. For example, if you want to study and to perform for your exam, you must loss your playing game time. But if you want to play game, it is vice versa, you will loss your study time. That is my point of view about the statement you wrote there.

    True. Very true. But be careful what you’re loosing. You might not get it back. (Hehe. don’t try to korek2 any information that i don’t think you are ready to know. Don’t want to hurt any innocent mind. Done once, and regret it till now)

    learn the ways of the slacker… whatever will be, will be. example, org pointer tgi yg 4flat pun ada yg xdpt intern lagi, yg pointer secukup rasa pun awal dah dpt.. moral of the story, go with the flow, ignorance is bliss, try as much as you want, but no more. peace!

    *baru terpasan komen ko kat blog aku psl game advisor*

    thank you, for the question, sir. erm, since it would be another source of stress if i were to give you a game you werent able to play, therefore during the data gathering session, i will also get the specs of your computer. therefore, i will give you a game that is compatible with your computer. but to answer the question, erm, no i probably wont be teaching you how to identify whether the game is compatible with your computer, but if you want i can tell you the basics of that. free of charge.

    does that answer your question sir?

    thank you!

    Hihi. The way of slacker in contradicting with the way of perfectionism. What i mean is that slackers motto is whatever will be, will be. Perfectionist motto is if you want it to be, it must be. (Eh, didn’t i join your slackers society in 1st yer 2nd sem ker?. I wear slacks everyday. Can that count as a member? Hehe.)

    “Even thought the weather is hot”

    I dun get the feeling when it comes to this part. U said u just finished ur dinner around 10pm and it is raining along the way back to ur room that time.

    Gooshh..what the fish is happening in UTP? Is it still hot in there even its raining during night? Or u want to inform us that U r the one that hot(est) that night like the Van Helsing? Haha..

    Haha. I dun know if you really want to ask or that is rhetorical question. Nice try neoracle. Thanks for the double edge comment. Or you still want an answer. i’ll answer then (if you want to counter attack feel free. i’ll try to block it). First and foremost, it rare that there is an event that require you to wear formal cloth at night. And i think you do see me everyday and you know how i dressed to go to lecture hall every day. The only thing you dun know is the way i dressed to lecture when i’m in matriculation. Nothing to brag about. I just love to wear that kind of style that time. But when in UTP, it is not suitable to wear coat since the weather is hot as you stated above. So its like a missing puzzle in my life since i always love the smell of that coat. Have you encounter smell memory before? You smell something that you like long time ago, and a vast memory come rushing into your mind either bitter or sweet (well, this does not work for people who always have their nose stuffed. Do your nose always stuffed neoracle?). It has nothing to do with rain, hot weather or van helsing. Just sharing a sweet moment with you. Hehe. :)
