technology rulez!
here i am again, back in the cyber world, bloggin’ about things and thoughts. i have been looking out for mobile phones and notebooks as i’m planning to get both new mobile phone and notebook. the problem now is, there are too many choices in the market now, an they are absolutely confusing. this mobile phone has A but doesn’t have B, that mobile phone has B but doesn’t have A. there will never ever be a combination of both, will there? same thing goes to notebooks. even if there is such conbination, the price will be like high up the sky.
lately i’m looking at 2 mobile phones, one is NOKIA 6500 Slide, the other one is Sony Ericsson P1i. both mobile phones have similiar technical specifications, the only difference between the 2 is that Sony Ericsson P1i comes with WiFi, whereas the NOKIA 6500 Slide doesn’t have WiFi capability. the price are also par with each other. the biggest difference between the 2 mobile phones is that Sony Ericsson is a smart phone, when the NOKIA 6500 Slide is just a multimedia phone. both phone’s memory can be expanded up to 4GB, but then again, the price of their memory card varies. i have been surveying online for reviews and comments about the phones, but all those are just guidance for me to choose the right phone.
then there are thousands of notebooks to be choosen. again, the situation is exactly like when i’m looking at mobile phones. they all come in different technical specifications, that makes me wanna puke!! that’s because all have their pros and cons. the more i look at them, the more i hate myself.
whatever it is, i still have to wait until next Chinese New Year, then only i’ll decide what to get.
so what’s the point looking at them now? that is to give myself a target, at least i know what i am aiming for.
questions
asking a question in order to know something better and clearer, that’s not too much, it it? maybe its the way and also the words used which are misused, ended up in a terrible argument.
humans come from various background, different family, different education level, and that is why we have many many different kinds of characters and personalities living in this world. even twins have different characters and personalities.
getting together with other different peoples of different characters is not easy. it takes time, effort, and commitment. in order to get along with someone, you’ll need to really spend time to understand that person, especially when you are planning to be with that person for a long time. some people tend to take a very short period of time to understand someone, others tend to take longer period to do so, some even take ages to get to know a person. well i guess i’m the 3rd kind, rite?
is it really that hard to get along with a person? or is it really difficult to understand someone? i’ll say that both parties need to work together to make things happen. 1 side hand doesn’t clap.
there are people who try to know the others before getting along with them, there are also people who start understanding someone after they get along with them. i guess i’m both. it is okay if someone comes to me and tell me straight in my face that i’m a weirdo, i’ll accept that.
okay, how do we define tolerate? same meaning as give and take, right? dealing with people requires lots and lots of tolerance. without it, no chemistry will ever happen between 2 different individual. compromising is another crucial point to be taken note when one tries to get along with another. no body’s perfect, even god is not. if he is, there will never be gays and lesbians. if god is perfect, there will never be illness or war, there will never be murders and crimes happening.
we as human beings learn how to become someone who others look upon, someone who the others wants to learn from. i always admit that i’m not good at all, nothing better than a pile of shit that has just been disposed. seriously, i’m having problems, big ones, i can’t seem to grab hold onto dealing with people the right way. if there is one. i tend to get excited over small things that others thinks that its a joke. i tend to get over reacted over lil matters that others don’t even give a damn to it. i tend to be over protecting when i’m in a relationship, and i tend to ask lots and lots of stupid questions to the other half. i know it pisses her off, but that’s the only way for me to get the answer to the question in my head. i don’t wanna guess, i don’t wanna predict, and i don’t wanna assume.
if anyone out there who can somehow advice me on this matter, i would be very great full, otherwise i dun think that i can count on myself. not at all.
grievances? surrounded by them. failure? u’re reading one’s blog.

Caffe, in Italian, or better known as Coffee in English, is one of the best beverage that you can ever find in this world. Coffee, can be differ into various tastes and types. We have the most common coffee, which is the Fresh Brew Coffee, or Black Coffee in other words. We have other combination of coffee and milk which originated from Italy, which are Cappucino, Latte, Machiatto, Ristretto, and of course not forgetting the root of all types of coffee, the Espresso.
Before i entered the bartending line, i was working in a small 3 stars hotel bar. I didn’t get to learn much from there, thus i decided to get out of the hotel and venture into real bartending scene. I tried applying as a bartender in Segafredo Penang, twice, but nothing seemed to happen. Then, i told my parents that i would love to go find a job in KL, the city that never sleeps. Both of my parents are really supportive on that, they didn’t think much and approved my request.
I reached KL with a only bag full of clothes, as i assumed that i can still go back to Penang to pack up more clothes before i really move down to KL. The 1st shop that i went in for my interview was Segafredo Zanetti Espresso, which was then located at KL Plaza’s side walk, facing directly to Star Hill shopping centre. How’d i know about that place? Well, i had a tea and talk session with my college mates while i was still studying in KL, which was my final year.
Mrs Amy was there, i still can recognize her as i saw her the other time when i was there for the tea and talk session. I approached her and ask if there were any vacancies for a bartender. Her reply was positive, i was like standing on top of the world at that moment. Then there comes Kelvin to interview me. After some questions and answers i finally passed the interview, and Mrs Amy wanted me to start working the following week. That is how i got myself into the real bartending scene. Well, i won’t address myself as a bartender, i would prefer a Barista. In European countries, a Barista is treated equally as doctors and other professionals. Cool huh?
I learnt all the skills that i need to brew a fine cup of coffee (in general) in Segafredo Zanetti Espresso KL. Throughout the whole year which is 365days, take out all my off days and public holidays, the other working days will involve at least ONE scolding session form Mrs Amy. Yup, at that time i was really frustrated as she scolds even over small tiny matters, i don’t know what were all the scoldings for, until i left and moved on, i found out that all those scolding sessions are freakin’ useful and built my character up.
There was this time when me, Kelvin, Vicky and Stephen were so crazy over flair bartending, and we went practicing every single night after work, till like 5 or 6 in the morning. Then we went jamming with Luke, by a pond.. Come to think of it, it was kinda gay as there were only 3 dudes, sitting on a bench, jamming, gosh..
I did planned to go back to work, joining the crew. But unforseen circumstances occur, and Mrs Amy had no choice but to end the business. All staffs went back on the last night of the operation and everyone was so touched when Mrs Amy thanked us for our contribution.
Will there be a new Segafredo Zanetti Espresso outlet in KL? We’ll find out soon enough, i hope..
the unfairness of life
is life fair? how do we define the fairness of life? nothing is fair in this bloody world, and believe me, when we put our precious life in other’s hand, who also cant guarantee that they can help us, i just feel like they are treating us like lab mice, testing this testing that..
how can they take other’s life as an experiment? well yeah i know that "trying their best" is what they have in mind, but instead of trying, why not MAKE THINGS HAPPEN??
life seems meaningless at this very moment, whatever we do, towards the end, is still nothing. i’m feeling frustrated of life, frustrated in the sense that we do things to make life better, but it still comes back to the same point where we started. we just waste our time making one BIG round back to the same old starting point. oh no, wait, we don’t waste time, time is worthless too..
this is what i’ve always mentioned of, "life is like a vacuum cleaner, it SUCKS!"
