The Sinful City -- Johor Bahru

Woke up very early today, around 6.30am. lol.. Very tired. Dragged my body and went downstairs. Preparing to go out to hav breakfast with cousins who came fr KL. As they are staying somewhere near town, Perling, the forever JAM place, we havta leave early (although the breakfast was at 8am). lol..

Parents are already outside waiting for me, then we found a pair of old rugged slippers, in front of our doorsteps. 1st we though mayb dad wore the wrong shoes back fr meeting yesterday night, but the shoes he wore to the meeting were there too.. So, the 2nd thoughts came to mind was, theft. We quickly open our shoe shelf, 4 PAIRS of expensive shoes (2 pairs of Nike, 1 pair of Camel - 1 WEEK old, 1 pair of Reebok) were gone. Total lost, roughly RM800. My precious limited edition Nike, GONE... FOREVER.. and somemore i washed it myself yesterday, changed a pair of new shoe laces... Sad.. Which also mean tt stupid slippers belongs to tt idiot..

Mayb we r in the wrong too.. Shouldn't hav left those expensive shoes outside.. But, honestly, I really think tt this is not a safe place anymore.. Open the newspaper everyday, 8 out of 10 news are robbery, rape... Don't they feel sorry or sinful doing things like tt.. NO.. They are just a bunch of BIMBO* "kampung" idiots... Disappointed. But what keeps our police busy?! wow.. they are really busy man.. busy standing in front of the traffic lights, ask for money.. Disappointed again.. Tt's why, we don't feel safa anymore, especially in Johor Bahru..

Mayb is really time for us to set up some alarm system as this is no more a trustworthy society.. Wake up ppl.. go back how we used to b.. A peaceful, harmony society...

Numerology One-Year Forecast

bored.. Tried out another numerology forecast thing.. lol.. hmmm... To b honest, it seems to know something... lol.. Take a look.. but dont hav the long version.. Needa buy.. lol.. But I think this is long enough.. lol.. Those in coloured.. I think are true..

JANUARY THROUGH DECEMBER 2007

A TIME FOR TRAVEL, CHANGE AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES. A TIME TO STAY FOCUSED AND NOT SCATTER YOURSELF.

Your 5 Personal Year

During 2007, welcome new situations, friends and activities. Make the most of all the excitement and adventure that comes your way but be sure to keep some balance and a sense of proportion. Enjoy your family and friends, both old and new. Also enjoy romance and some sensual activities. Take advantage of travel, socializing and creative job and career opportunities. You often may feel that you're living essentially on a day-to-day basis. Conditions may seem unsettled much of the time. Concentrate on controlling the restless and impulsive side of your nature so that you don't hold back any of the potential inherent in your many freewheeling opportunities. Be careful not to scatter your energy. Guard against any irresponsible actions. Stay away from constant pleasure-seeking so you don't end up frustrated, with only a little achieved in a year with such glowing potential.

Be prepared for an important change in a major area of your life. You probably will find it easy to let go of the old and make room for the new. If you make the change happen, think it out carefully so that you're in a position to take full advantage of the shifting tides. If, on the other hand, a change overtakes you, flow along with the altering conditions to get the most out of it.

Monthly Highlights For 2007

The Personal Year is an important yearly influence. This influence, though, is expressed with a somewhat different emphasis each month. Be sure to take the monthly emphasis into account, too, when considering the best approach to take to each month's events. Monthly highlights for 2007 are given next, followed by detailed descriptions for each month.

Some startling business possibilities with good financial potential may develop in March. A new change or adventure may begin in May (UNSW closed down), complete with travel and excitement. Lots of creative people and activities highlight July. Be careful not to take on too much. There may be more going on in September than in any other month this year. Take stock of your accomplishments in November and prepare for next year (mayb I will b able to do well in the finals..lol HOPEFULLY).

JUNE 2007

Your 11/2 Personal Month

Although your endeavors will continue to move ahead, the pace is likely to be somewhat slower than last month. An occasional holdup or work stoppage probably also will occur, possibly around June 5th or 9th (coz of my mock exam disgusting results?!). Accept these temporary delays. Don't try to speed things up or you may unwittingly disrupt a critical schedule. While you're waiting for your own ventures to get back on track, offer your assistance to friends or associates who need a helping hand. Be as patient as you can be with your own and others' work. If you're tactful and diplomatic, it will be a lot easier to handle misunderstandings or frayed tempers. Enjoy your children and socializing with special friends this month. On or about June 13th, make the most of any opportunities to meet new friends. The pleasures of love and romance also may come your way. Be extremely sensitive in all your personal relations. That sensitivity also may allow for some spiritual insights leading in new directions, particularly on June 18th.

Decision Making

No doubt, I didn't manage to do well in my mock.
(1) Didn't revise fully, not prepared enough..
(2) the news, prob...
(3) the illness..
But still, I am glad tt some of them I actually did quite well.. which means I only havta concentrate more on those topics which I am poor at it..

Got back Eng and physics.. Eng was ok.. but Physics was.... dont wanna talk bout it.. and dont ask bout it too.. Getting back computing tomorrow, which I am kinda looking forward to it as I think I did well in my practical.. And chem.. which I think I will just die.. Why?!
(1) not fully prepared
(2) weak as its the next day of the illness.. lol.
And somehow I feel tt the chem teacher obviously was not happy with my result. During chem lab today, he was always picking on me lar.. I kno I did bad, but I didn't wish to do so too wad.. The thing he said tt made me real pissed off was: Jon, I think u choose the wrong partner.. Wada... do he havta insult me like tt.. But honestly mayb I am in the wrong 1st as I disappointed him?! So mayb this made us fair?!

I am seriously thinking tt do I really wanna do this? Especially after this exam... 'This' as in doing this physical science foundation, which might not b any useful in the area of my study (architecture or so) in the future.. or shud I just withdraw and go Syd and restart on design foundation?! The things tt hold me back are the friends here and the time wasted... And I heard tt the design foundation was not easy too.. lol

Still finding the correct path... Decision making.. haiz

Know yourself Better?!

Tried out a lil personality quiz... lol.. given by Rina... Mayb u all would like to try too.. http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties. (maybe.. lol)

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. (hmmm...)

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person. (waiting...)

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates. (i think so.. haha)

Your views on education
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own. (mayb i am not in the course i truly want yet)

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life. (tt's really wad i thought b4)


How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying. (YES!!!)


What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel. (yes!!!)

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve. (yes!!!)

* Views in (...) is my opinion...

So.. overall, i think tt this quiz is actually partly quite true about me.. so do give it a try... haha..

Mock Exam


This very morning.. Not very welcoming morning... Couldn't sleep well last night... haiz..

As I said in my previous post, before my sem 1 exam, I will be having my mock exam, which is starting TODAY.. Not very worry about today's paper, still, afraid of anyway. haiz.. As for tomorrow's, died.. Seriously, I really don't understand some of the topics in physics.. I think the only sub tt I am quite well in is the computing pracs.. lol.. But, i didn't do well in last week's practice.. Probably being affected by the news of the closure of my uni..

Yea.. No doubt that this news really WILL affect our studies, and RESULTS as it came in such a bad timing. So, the uni has decided to postpone our sem 1 exam a week later, which makes it to the 25th June.. This is helpful thou. Hope that every1 will be able to concentrate on studies in these few weeks time.

Ok.. gtg.. Gotta prepare some stuff and head out to campus.. Wish me luck.. God bless...

Start with a sad start

Hmmm.. every1 seems to start blogging.. In order to keep in touch with you all, I think this is a good way.. Welcome to JL-Initial...

Let me destress. Recently many things just aren't right... 1st of all, exam is just around da corner. and I really need to catch up with quite a lot of studies.(TT) Then a very shocking news, the sch i am currently studying in, UNSW Asia school is closing down... shud say the Uni has closed down.. which means we are not able to take our degree here anymore... Wad the hell was going on?!! At this bad timing... Frustrated... But still, I needa try my best to concentrate on studies 1st as I cant even focus these few days...haiz...

Last Tues, we had a conference with the sch. The compensation they come out with, is just a miserable air ticket to Sydney. and tts all... although its already a bonus for me, as I hav decided to go Syd next year even if the sch is not closing, still, I think that this is really not enough if we compare with the previous batches.. They received about 22k 4 years scholarship (for the undergraduates), as for the last batch of foundation studies student, they received 15k-19k for a year as compensation. And us?! A pathetic eco air ticket.. This is just not fair...

Anyhow, I will havta go Sydney next year.. Aus... Welcome me with open arms...
