SCORES AND EVALUATION :

0-10 - Malu-lah you! We suggest you spend at least one hour a day at your nearest coffee-shop.

11-20 - Boleh pass. Okay, you may claim to be the average Malaysian with a score in this range but you could watch less CNN on Astro and more local content on RTM.

21-30 - Wah, you one true blue Malaysian-lah. Top quality belacan. We are truly impressed, especially if you know the answer to No. 24 which we admit is very tricky!

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself (and doesn’t feel even the least bit weird shutting your ‘beer/Pepsi drawer with her foot!)
A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.
A simple friend doesn’t know your parents’ first names. A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.
A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party. A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.
A simple friend hates it when you call after they’ve gone to bed. A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.
A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems. A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.
A simple friend wonders about your romantic history. A real friend could blackmail you with it.
A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument. A real friend calls you after you had a fight.
A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A real friend expects to always be there for you!

Everything starts from friends… It’s t best part of life, being able to learn from each other, hving some1 to talk to when we r down… i guess only real frens stay to lean their ears n support us in anyway they can, or even advice us for our own good…

Frens do come n go, everyday we’ll b meeting new fren.. but not all is t 1 tat really can go along v us or even walk t same path as we do…

Life is filled with choices, our life is upto t choices we make in our life..

what happen when t choices we made r wrong??

what happen if t outcome is not what as what we wanted??

r there any guidelines to make our those choices in our life??

how would we know it’s t right choices?

Will it ever b any more simple??

mayb i’m just too lazy to make choices. our wishes is always not t way we want it 2 b. life is not really how we wanted it to b, we can only live it as what t trends r going n how other ppl wan us to b. or mayb we r just not satisfied v what we ald had n wishes for more? humans desire is never satisfactory.

t more simple my life is t more i’m satisfied. then only i can cherish those tat i hv n never to regret hving them.. or even appreciating what is in front of me..

how is it going to b when life is way to simple than what we expect?

i hv a fren tat say t life i’m living in is way too simple.. not much activities n not much excitement.. well, i guess t life tat i’m going through (architorture) is not really an interesting life, although it’s an interesting career.. designing n creating something outstanding is really a challenge.. even thought t life an architect is just spending all their time in studio to finish up their design.. but it’s a satisfactory to hv t design we wan n to c t building being constructed.. it’s like looking at a child growing up..

although my life is simple, i really cheerish those around me, those tat care for me.. i can c them clearly… how many great frens i hv n i’m really glad to hv them around.. it’s not a mistake knowing them.. making life much more interesting v them around me.. however boring my life would b, just hving them around me makes me feel so much more interesting.. just sitting down n listening to them or just hanging around v them makes me feel so much more content.. their smile n happiness is always  cure of my heart..

what happen when t choices is not as we plan? is life worth planning?? is life like what we study in site planning?? is it tat simple or way much more complicated than tat??

Is life really as precious as what we hv in mind??

does ppl really cherish what they hv in front of them??

Am I, myself believe in this??

I’m not really sure what is going on in my life. i only believe i need to work hard for my future.. mayb tat’s all i hv in mind now.. nothing much tat i would like to think about.. but to cherish t ppl around us is sth tat i need to pay attention in!! this year is my final year n i might not c a lot of ppl after tat… well not all of my frens here came from t same place.. hving communication improvement in life, does not really help much when we really involve ourselves in working life.. will i still manage to keep in contact v all my frens, especially those tat r going oversea or leaving t country or even going back to their own hometown?? will t relationship tat we had in uni still b t same after graduation?? all t memorable moment i had v all my uni frens… well, it’s really going to b a pain to leave all of them.. knowing all t times tat we had spend together n all t joy n happinness tat we had together…

i guess there is always times when we really hv to learn about separation.. not being able to meet them again or even meeting them after a long period of time..

after separated v my 2ndary fren is really a heartache.. well at least i still get to meet them during cny.. hehe.. tat’s t best moment i could hv v my frens.. but imagine separating v my uni frens.. all hving to stay in diff states,  or even those tat r leaving t country… haih…
