can't or won't?

::To be absolutely certain about something, one must know everything or nothing about it.::

selalunya kalau tv kat rumah rosak (and it always does), akan ada at least sorg ckp, "xkan amik electrical engineering x tau nak betulkan?" to the point that i myself wondered, "how come i don't know how to fix this?"

err seriously, am i supposed to know? 'coz the closest thing i learned about tv was in spm's fizik, about crt tube. even that's considered old-tech now, err i think.

adakah hanya kerana wujudnya perkataan 'electrical', so i'm expected to be electrician/engineer/maintenance caretaker/cable girl (oh yeah, sebelum adanya astro, nak carik channel kat tv sume aku yg buat) of the house? x dinafikan aku suka baca manual (ye la, mesti la tau mcm mana nak guna sesuatu barang tu kalau dah beli kan?), but that doesn't mean i'm the only one who can do it.

lagi satu, kalau nak call for enquiries. selalunya kalau nak call helpline la; e.g. streamyx (yg bongok yg belum dicancel lagi sbb xde org nak buat), points redemption, flight bookings, etc. i mean, tau la slang aku mcm american (hehe) tapi boleh je ckp melayu kat org tu. 1Malaysia what. and xde kena-mengena pun dgn major aku.

hmm yg amik chemistry tau ke nak buat all those drugs out there? i mean without referring to any books la. or make homemade remedies? yg amik law tau ke what law one violates everytime he/she does something?

erk aku mcm telah mencampur-adukkan isu.

anyway, aku x kisah kalau org mintak tlg sume, tapi alasan biar logik laa. dah la selalunya org yg take action yg disalahkan (ni selalunya parents aku la yg buat, suh aku call sume, tapi kalau apa2 x jadi according to what they hoped for, aku lak yg kena blame heheh).

tapi, kdg2 aku pelik gak dgn org yg x tau benda2 yg simple. ada kawan aku x tau mcm mana nak connect a printer to the pc. dahh kena ajar virtually. then again, almost everything can be found on the net. cara nak bubuh eyemo pun ada. just put a little effort on looking for it.

hehe ckp org, tapi aku rasa ada gak benda2 simple yg aku x tau buat.

apa yg aku merapu ni.

ok chiow.

(solar) eclipse of my heart

::It starts with light, and ends with light, and in between there is darkness.::

ok for some reason i'm fascinated with the solar eclipse, which will move across Asia tomorrow. kat msia dpt la tgk partial eclipse, tapi x sure lak pukul berapa. the longest eclipse in 21st century tuu.

one of those eclipses happened when i was in secondary school. aku ingat lagi sume org keluar kelas nak tgk kejadian tu, ada guna air besen letak kat tgh2 panas nak tgk reflection tu la, ada guna film -ves la, ada gak yg cuba nak tgk directly. hehe. baru ku tau ada cara2 tertentu nak tgk solar eclipse. tapi apsal sume mcm susah je? even nak cari pokok kat kl pun susah tau.

one of nature's wonders, which proves kekuasaan Allah, and also proves that we are indeed a teeny-weeny lil atom in this universe. fascinating.

and of course it reminded me of 'heroes'. the eclipse had started it all; the power, the fight against evil, the side choosing, etc. heh, wonder if this time around round, sth will happen? erk mcm betul je heroes tu haha. and aku still x habis tgk s3. where's the motivation? sbb sume org mcm nak balas dendam je kot. in that story, i mean.

for more info, go here.

ok chiow.

p/s: tgk gambar / video eclipse pun boleh pening gak ke ha?

The "I've learned" game

I've learned that..

there's no surefire way to anything; what works on others doesn't necessarily work on you.

I've learned that..

there are truth that aren't meant to be discovered, for it could shatter the lifelong belief you held so dearly.

I've learned that..

when said truth is known, everything else no longer matters.

I've learned that..

nothing could be done on impulse. nothing. even if it is, the consequences that come after would burden you for the most of your life. of course, they could be good ones too. could be.

I've learned that..

people crave to know that they matter. hence the the-hero-could-be-you genre.

I've learned that..

the mere existence of women proves that equality could not exist.

I've learned that..

watching tv all the time doesn't necessarily make you stupid; what you choose to watch does.

I've learned that..

sometimes we are forced / obliged to do something because of somebody else.

I've learned that..

there are times when i am not at fault. but most of the times i am, since our action could trigger countless of chain reactions throughout the world. hey, i believe all of us pollute the world.

I've learned that..

i'm becoming more aware of what i can do to make anything better. the willpower? that's another story.

I've learned that..

despite everything, the PR skill is important. you can't expect to be rude to your superior, and still got promoted. on the other hand, you can bust your @$s off trying to improve everything, but still nobody would notice you.

I've learned that..

there are shallow hals in any world, corporate or else.

I've learned that..

'ask and you shall receive' may be the hardest thing to be done.

I've learned that..

never stop asking, praying. it saves you from harm.

**********************************************

rasanya mcm pernah buat dulu2 ni, when i turned 23. back then the life had never been so promising, and i was quite anxious to finish school and enter the real world; you know, climbing the professional ladder, get married, get a new home, spending time with family, etc. 4 years could change that, huh.

no, i'm not depressed hehe. it's just that there are obstacles that i never foresee. things that would only be non-existent in an ideal world. and i still believe that my 'moment' is yet to come heheh.

i'm supposed to tag somebody; sapa2 pun boleh lah.

ok chiow.
