Fuh, penat but still standing with head high in defiance :)

I am very tired, physically and mentally, this few weeks. Having best friends that acts like a**hole every now and then did not help at all, as well as missing her all the time while she doesn't seem to care at all brought me down more (I can't help it, I'm stubborn and only just human :)) Jogging at the lake twice a week contributed to the physical tiredness and work, oh the amount of work keeps me on the edge. Furthermore, education came calling, this year I must continue to my degree or else that fragments of motivation to further my studies will slowly dissipates and will not return.

I've done some thinking lately; am I too nice? Being an overall nice guy seems to bring good to the environment and society but inside it does not feel nice at all; at least not most of the time. Shall I be the insensitive prick who only thinks of himself and use people for their own selfish reason or shall I assume the uncaring attitude and becoming someone who does not give f**ks to everything and anything? Or shall I be a little bit of both and add to the world another a**hole to ruin someone's life and day? Please Allah, I don't want to be jaded like this, give me strength to overcome the obstacles in my life and give me extra, extra patience to deal with a**holes everywhere :p Yeah, I'm not as much as a saint but I don't think I ever hurt others feeling or like the Malay says all the time "tak suka menyusahkan orang lain" :)

And now KJ has won the coveted UMNO Youth leadership and everything becoming bleak more and more. Yet somehow there's a voice whispering somewhere; "give this guy a chance to prove himself, just wait and see and if he doesn't perform or became too power hungry I'm sure Najib can boot him before it's too late" And that's what I'm going to do for the time being...

Cameron trip...

Went for a Cameron highland day trip yesterday. Actually I was prepared to spent that Friday night relaxing at home (well after an exhausting working day) playing my bloody games when some friends show up on the door and drag me along for their first ever trip to the highland. Let me state that I was deeply reluctant to go because I was tired (it was a 400++ km return trip) and furthermore I was a little low on budget.

We spent a couple of hours waiting for sunrise at the quite Cameron hospital's car park before visiting a tea farm in Ringlet. Then we proceed to KEA farm to see how they manage the farm but was disappointed as the only attraction there was the strawberry farms. I strongly suggests that future visitors to try their luck at the MARDI agricultural center in Tanah Rata as they got tons of activity there and some apple trees (hey, I never seen an apple tree up close and personal, have you?) Anyway, we bought some vegetables (murah giler) and of course strawberries.

Overall, a Cameron highland trip is ok for family, couples and sightseers but for a bunch of adventurous friends, it is advisable to go somewhere else. And please be careful when driving down either to the Tapah or Simpang Pulai highway exit, going down the hill is already fast, you don't need to push the pedal some more just to prove something that is not worth proving. Its a hair raising experience expecially when the one who drives had just passed their driving test.

p.s - Life thought me another lesson here. Going for a trip with a couple is definately a no-no except well, you are bringing your other half as well to balance up the team :)
