Have you ever thought of why you’re being born in the world? If you do, what is it that you dream of? If you do have the passion on your dream, what is it that drives you? Most people would probably say, yeah, I want to lead a simple life, have kids and all that. Some would probably say, yeah, I would like to be doctor, and aid people, and a small portion would say, I would like to work hard and make a fortune out of myself. Regardless, what is it that drives you for such dream? I wouldn’t be surprised if someone came up to me and say that’s for the sake of the family, or nation, or someone you care about.
There are also people out that care too much about money. I mean, to the extent that they thought life is nothing without cash in hand. Sometimes, I wonder, if a CEO makes a living with 6 digit paycheck and another janitor barely makes 4-5 dollars an hour, what is it that differ the two? Is it the status? Is it power? Is it consuming or purchasing power? Without regard, both of them are money, it's just the value. Money is just way too common. There are things out there that I believe is much more important than mere printed bills. Should you swap your time in exchange for money? Yes, people do that to make a living, sure! But why? Money is mere tool, a tool to control the nature of a human, indirectly derives it, nurtures it, and makes them dare to believe and work on things.
Is this the norm of the human? If it is, whoever gains control of it, he possesses the power to control other people too. And with such power, it is possible to rewrite history. It is possible to make war, and reap from it. It is possible to cause chaotic havoc in the world without having them realize what it is. And of course, more terrifyingly, the power to change the human itself. A power that differs what we are and how we are governed daily. Of course, to receive such power, there exist sacrifices. And, what are those I wonder?
And of course, my eyes are and still watching....
From a piece of thought today, “what if I…..”

Quite recently, I believe I need a replacement for Naruto. Being an otaku, I do think Naruto is nice and all, well, until recently since the storyline just gets really slow and plain boring. So, taking up a recommendation from a friend, I started reading the very first episode of One Piece..... And yes, as you might expect, it got me addicted ever since. I literally read 100 chapters a day, devoting my whole free time on it. Why? You might ask. Simple, the storyline is effectively interesting. It’s currently on 573rd chapter and the ‘kick’ is still there.
It got me hooked to the extent of I had to delete some movies in my desktop for the mangas.
But yeah, they all seem to worth every second I spend. This is the first time for me to read such creative piece of work that dictates a whole new level of manga style, humor, hope, and determination in a single piece of work. Nice. The character is well made, the plot is well planned, and the prompt humor and surprises just stroke me aback in suspense and relief. Overall, 9.5/10! If I’m able to offer him what I have, I would only hope that I could follow this manga to the end. Argh!
I especially like the part that Luffy met Boa Hancock and the war between the Whitebeard pirates against the government. Owhhhhh (send me flying in joy). Another passion placed in me by the Japanese. I wouldn’t be surprised. There are a lot of things to learn in the Japanese world, and yeah, as you may know, I’m game for it.

If we were to talk about the person you idolize, or the person of the generation, I would say that man is Matsumoto Hitoshi (松本人氏). This guy hailed from Downtown duo, namely Owarai Duo, nicknamed Super sadist Hamada Masatoshi and Matchan (松ちゃん).
So, this Matsumoto guy was born in Amagasaki to a really poor family, being the youngest of the 3 siblings’ family. Being poor doesn’t seem to bother him in leading a happy life, much that to the extent that he’s currently being ranked first in Japan TV! In one of his book, he did express himself about his childhood, of having to grow up in such hardship, when only laughter was the only antidote for those times. His poverty made his imagination grew bigger and bigger and such sense of humor led him to the success of his show, up until now. I just love how to hear his laugh. It’s somehow, relaxing, and not holding anything aback.
Recently, I found out that J-TV made a special show, just for him to celebrate his 44 year birthday. The show was kind of filled with joy and laughter, and honestly, I think he look so much younger than always. About his personal life, this guy doesn’t believe in marriage as the children would just be a distraction for his wife’s attention. Somehow, he prefers dogs being companion.
Being a Japanese die-hard-fan, I do enjoy his show, Gaki no tsukai: Ya arehende (餓鬼のつかい：やあれへんで) translated: this is not the show for kids. Some of his masterpiece clips are the DT: Matsumoto talks about curry and Matsumoto gets angry. Somewhat, his story and success, made me a stronger man each day and to continue what I believe in and to keep working hard for it, as well as to laugh at times of fall.
A couple of things that he invented that became such a trend in Japan are:
• samui or sabui (寒い, サブい) Literally meaning "cold," it refers to anything corny and unfunny.
• BLUE ni naru (ブルーになる) To become "blue" (sad).
• gyaku-gire (逆ギレ) When one becomes angry as a response to someone who is angry at them. [22]

I’ve come to learn that his new movie too is out: namely Symbol: starring himself as the director and the main actor. Argh, I’ve gotta watch this!!!!
In case you don't know I come from this little town called Chukai in a really set-aside district of Kemaman. Well, since primary school, I'm not much of a traveler, I mean, yeah, my dad took us out sometimes for trips, but that is not the point here. Now, I'm talking about school trips, or more scientifically, field-trips! If my memory doesn't fail me (yet), the furthest trip I've been so far was Kuantan, during my primary school year. A lovely town just a bit further out of my kinda isolated place. Honestly, I was envious to a couple of my friends who managed to get the permission from their parents just as easily in such school-ambience stuffs and bragged about it in class, but that was back then. Thinking it over now, I'm no longer in Malaysia! I have to lead my own life here in thousands of miles away from home which is kind of an undeniably new challenge. Regardless of the distance, my parents yet again, never let me down whenever I encounter hard times of being a student. Now, that I realized why they had done so, god knows how much I couldn't be any more grateful than what I could. Why? I mean, if they wouldn't, I might be still be stuck there and not know how it's like to open up to the world. I suppose he (my dad) who hailed from Oxford does know how to handle his kids, no? Anyway, thanks dad! I owe you one!
I have a feeling, a feeling of uneasiness. Somehow, I think this year’s J-Hall just plainly boring. To the extent, I have less and less intention of continuing to stay in Mctyiere. Reason? Simply put, people WHO ARE NOT INTERESTED IN LEARNING JAPANESE are STILL HERE. Period. Please, evacuate the place if you don’t want to keep on learning, there are many more people out there would be more than please to stay. The reason I’m here is to learn Japanese, to master the language, I could have simply move someplace else for whatever other reason. Currently in my junior standing, it is hard for me to decide whether or not to stay. Why? Because I could be better off not taking the Meal plan, which will simply take so much portions of the scholarship! Nevertheless, I still want to stay here, but not in this condition! Come on, I had to make sacrifices just to be able to learn. Please, if you simply know to complain, or plainly envious of other people’s matters, get out, seriously.
I miss the old J-Hall. Miss the chit chats I had with Dale-kun, Jerrica, and Sarah. I wish Wynne’s here too. Even though we’re busy most of the times, but we had so much fun. 
It's now 1.46 am and my first class is due to start tomorrow at 10. Nice! Thinking myself as a sleepyhead, it's almost certainly better off for me to sign up for later classes. More time to sleep, and yet I'm sprawling but these blinking eyes can't simply close just yet. Not yet!
The break was good, spent a good vacation over in New York and Boston. Nothing much to tell, it was too snowy for good photos. But I guess, being a guy from Malaysia, snow photos are exotic, somewhat. Mctyeire was quite a while, nobody's around except a couple of guys from the Chinese Hall and Chie just across my room. Was thinking of visiting Sam in Maryland, but I guess the thick snow makes it hard with flight delays and all. Plus, I don't really have the money for spending spree. Considering I need to get insurance for my bike as well really soon.
I've actually done some thinking. Some thinking of which bothers me, significantly. A thought of where am I going to end up next year. I wish I could still stay in Mctyeire. But I definitely don't want to sign up for the Meal Plan and all. Why can't I just stay in Mctyeire and not take the darn Meal Plan. Alternative, McGill? Tolman? Or Chaffin? Of course, my deep down I would like to stay here, but having extra cash actually is fairly sweet too.どうしようか？Unless of course, I'm one of them RA's, but I was wondering if I could get that post here? Why does Mctyeire needs only 3 RAs??? WHY WHY WHY?
Argh, forget it, so anyhow, the ranking goes:
1)Mctyeire
2)McGill
3)Tolman
4)Chaffin
MCTYEIRE! For god's sake, please take meal plan off your cost! おねがいします！
