How hard...
It's not easy to become a student. Many tasks need to be done at the same time. I'm experiencing it right now. Well that doesn't matter, as I would only experience this torture for only one full year. My effort would be rewarded soon. Everything have a price in this world and we human would do anything to pay in order to get the thing that we wanted the most, no matter how high the price is. Plenty of assignments, monthly tests and less games. It's a boring life though. Like I just said, nothing is free. So, hopefully I could sustain and survive this adventure and keep fighting till the end.

He comes and he goes....
Life is just like sailing in the ocean. It’s always rough and we hardly sail through a calm sea. Eventhough sometimes we manage to sail through a calm sea, we must always accept the fact that no ocean can be calm forever and storm will definitely come uninvited. Well, that’s what happened to my family recently. We’ve lost ‘somebody’ that we really love and the lost thought us about how fragile our life is and how powerful the God is. He could give to anybody He pleases and may also take back anything that He wishes. It was not actually ‘someone’ that we lost recently, but more to something. I defined it as someone because he was very close to us and he is also a part of our family member. It was our cat named Viey.
He was very special and different compared to other cats. He was very special in a sense that the way he sits. He would let his stomach to touch the floor and spread his legs in opposite side rather than sitting normally like other cats. Other than that, Viey would only drink from a running water from a pipe. That means, somebody must open a pipe for him and waited for the water to flow out from the pipe and form a thread of flowing water from which Viey would drink from it. Viey also had a very high taste in his diet. He would not eat anything else other than his cat food (IAMS) which cost around RM 80 for a month. We always give the best to our beloved cat. My mother once threw a fresh fish in front of him just to see his reaction. He got up and sniff the fish before he walk away from it. Isn’t it awkward to see cat that would only ignore a fresh fish lying in front of him? But that’s what Viey would do. His other habit was, every morning after he was released from his cage, the first person that he would look for was my mother. Then he would patrol around our house which his territory and he marked his territory just the same way as other cats would do(you know how*watch national geographic channel*). Sometimes my mother’s clothes would also become his territory. One of the bravest thing that Viey had ever done was when we first moved to Penang and he came with my mother by car. He was very calm along the way and did not cause any problem.
The sudden lost of Viey gave a very huge emotional impact to our family. I treated him exactly like my brother and the lost made me feel as if I lost a brother. The most affected person due to the lost of Viey was my mother. She felt as if she had lost a son and I felt also as if I lost a brother. We pampered Viey very much as he was the youngest in the family. The sudden death of Viey was very tragic. The cause of his death was not known either he was beaten to death by some inhuman creature for some insane reason or he was bitten by a snake. Whatever causes his death, only God knows and He wouldn’t do something that is useless to His servant and everything happens for a reason. God is fair. One thing for sure is, Viey was one of the sweetest things that ever happened in our family.

Vacation in my own hometown...
After Chinese New Year this year(2009), malaysian celebrated Thaipusam and we also had a public holiday on monday. That means we had 3 days of holidays and I thought that it was the best time for me to visit my second hometown, Banting. I have my friends there and in fact, I planned to spend my holiday in my previous secondary school because I miss her so much since I left her for more about two years ago. I've planned my whole journey on where should I stay and with whom can I stay and also on how to spend my time there so that it would be both fun and meaningful. The best place that I can think about was the school hostel's dining hall. I knew the chef there very well and in addition one of my old friend is working with him as a kitchen assistant. The chef is a very kind man and I knew him since I was in form 4 and we became very close friend since then. Besides getting free accomodation, I also get free food. But, of course I need help them with some light kitchen works. Fortunately, students who are staying in that hostel didn't go home for Thaipusam holiday, so my chef friend have to stay at his kitchen to cook for them so that the students won't die because of starvation.
I departed from my college at about 12 o'clock Friday morning after my chemistry class. I took a bus to section 14, PJ to perform my Friday prayer there before continued my journey by taking a bus to Klang. From Klang then I took a bus straight to Banting. I arrived there at about 4 o'clock in the evening. As I entered the kitchen, my friend Hasan who is working there invited me to go to Klanang beach with him. I agreed without hesitation and off we went to Klanang taking several spare T-shirts with us. We also called our other two friends to join us. The four of us plunged into the beach, and although Klanang beach is not as prestigous as Tioman and Langkawi, we had fun together as we spent time together, something that we didn't do for a long time after we left school. We went back to shore about half an hour later as the sun was at the horizon. We planned about things that we could do together that night as we relaxed and enjoying the sunset. One of my friend suggested that we should make a barbeque that night but I didn't agreed as there were only four of us and it is not fun to make a barbeque with only four guys. So I suggested that we go to the movie. They agreed and we planned to meet at the hostel's dining hall at 9 o'clock that evening. So, Hasan and me went back to the dining hall and we took dinner there so that we don't have to spend extra money on meal. That night, as promised, we went to Jusco in Bukit Tinggi, Klang. One of my friends didn't actually have enough money to buy his ticket. So we decided to "donate" some amount of money so that he could buy his ticket. We watched Ong-bak2 that night. It was a fine movie. It started at 12 o'clock and finished at 1.30 in the morning. We didn't hang out after that, we went back home instead but we didn't go straight to sleep. We played video games first before we finally slept at 5 in the morning.
The next morning, after Subuh prayer, I helped Hasan preparing breakfast. "Pisang Goreng" was in the menu. Besides helping him, I also learned to make "Pisang Goreng". It was so simple and not as complicated as I thought. Unfortunately, I must go back to PJ as my mother told me that she was on her way to KL from Penang. She would be meeting me in PJ. So, I have no choice other than heading to PJ that evening as she claimed that she would be there at about 7. I went off from Banting at around 3 o'clock. It was very hard to say goodbye but I had to. I wished I could stay a bit longer but I was satisfied as I had a chance to meet my friend. Surprisingly, I spent only RM 30 for this holiday and that included my bus fare and my movie ticket. Someday, I would make this similar trip again when I had time.
