The Unusual

Category: Life Log

Today is a special day - 29th day of the month which occurs only once every 4 years. So, I decided to post something “unusual”. This is going to be a very long post. If you don’t have the patience to read about my life, this is not the post for you. I’m going to write about my recent updates, or to be more precise, rambling about the things around me. It’s time to let go some inner voice.

After the quarrel, I hardly speak to him any further. This really feels bad, as he is my father. I feel guilty for not establishing a good father-and-daughter relationship. I’ve changed since Mom migrated to Heaven 8 years ago. An old question struck my mind and I feel like answering it today. Once, Jason asked “You love your father more or your mum?”

Today, I announce to the whole world (blogosphere, I mean) , “I LOVE MY MOM MORE!!!!!!”. It sounds unfair for my dad but after all these years, I miss my mom like hell and regretted for not being a good daughter. Sorry dad. I tried and try so hard to communicate (negotiate) with you, but it turns out to be the opposite results. Well, if you could sometime listen to me just for a sec, things would have been better. I hate to be an ice pick all the time. Breaking the ice is not an easy task. Most of the time, I just get big ice cube crushed over my head in return.

To be honest, I HATE DRIVING! 7 years ago, I was so excited, like almost every newbie, when I first took my driving lessons. Learning to drive was something I longed for. Since then, fetching my sis to tuition schools become part of my job - until today. I hate traffic jams. I can easily get pissed off when the traffic light is green yet the cars in front driving so slow like snail. As a result, the cars in front manage to cross the road, yet leaving me behind the red light. Damn!

Other than that, I have problems in memorizing directions. I rarely go anywhere other than meeting up with Orange and going to my workplace. So I can hardly remember the direction to those places that I seldom or never go. That’s also one of the unreasonable reasons for not working elsewhere other than my hometown, Kuching.

Today, my superior asked me to do something like a small program that serve as record purpose. She said it just like something very easy to be done. For me, it’s not. I know the program concept, and it must be a web based application so that the Managing Director will be able to access it anywhere as long as there’s Internet. That’s the problem. I have not been writing any program since graduated. The superior didn’t specify which language to use (of course she doesn’t know what language to use, she is non-IT personnel). I know to make things easier, PHP is the best solution. But wait a minute! I never learned PHP in school before. For web base application, all I ever learned is Javascript and ASP. Yea, is ASP without the .NET. This means, I have to do some self study before I can finish my assigned task. Time to read the Dummies e-book!!

Okay, so Google has done another PR update. A.P.P.L.E is still having a PR0. PR!! PR!! Everyday PR! I dislike being rated 0 - it’s ugly. No matter how hard I try to put in good contents, Google will still give me a zero because I do paid post. Hello?! I’m not doing PPP ok? Well, how many readers love my blog is still an unknown. People just come and go…

Everyday I just think of getting some benefit out of my blog and nearly forget the nature of my blog. I’m here to share things of my interest, not really into making money. Making money is just for some extra cash. I don’t blog for a living. I’m not pro like my idol LiewCF. At least I tried some ways in getting money online. Not very successful but still manage to earn a little.

Recently, joined BlogMalaysia.com. Kinda like the community. Met some cool bloggers. Envy Alvin and KhoKing who are both from Sarawak and now Japan! They have very nice blog, do check it out.

Next, to reply a tag from NAFASG some time ago about “make love not war”, this is what I think about. Recently, you can see banners everywhere along the road from both political parties using phrase to “fight” each other, just to gain more votes for the upcoming election. I didn’t register myself for voting. Why not? Lazy and not interested.

I know this doesn’t sound like me, but I do have some point of view, although this is related to politics. Perhaps only Kira is justice.Just remember, we need peace not war.

Phew~ what a long post.

    Old people always told us treasure our time now. When that precious moment gone, it wont come back.

  2. joshuaun Says: MyAvatars 0.2

    wow……..if want read this kind post, should wait another 4 years=)
    (coz 4 years later have 29.2……hahaha=))

    Hi Apple,

    I enjoy reading your post.

    Hope you have a good relationship with your father soon.

    All the best! God bless!

    by the way, on the database side…you should use some existing free PHP codes in the internet…

    Not quite a long post but I enjoy reading it. Guess you must have stored enough of those stuff until your “hard disk” is low in space.

    Well, blood is thicker than water. Parents will always be parents, elders will always be elders, sometimes our patience is being tested but that doesn’t mean that we have to hate them more and love them less. I’m sorry about your mum but I sincerely hope that you will spend the remaining quality time with your dad. He’s not going to be with you for the rest of your life. Sooner or later he will leave you. It may sound difficult but why not consider this as a challenge for you to love unconditionally? Afterall, I believe everything happens for a purpose. I know said is easier than done. I’ve shouted at my mum for mumbling and complaining about my research all the time without listening to my explanation. Luckily dad is supportive so things can be sort of balanced up. Anyway, my relationship with my family is still very good since we are separated between 2 corners of the Malaysia Peninsula so it’s quite hard to meet up. Well, enough of my crap here. Just want you to know about this:
    树欲静而风不止,子欲养而亲不待…

    Anyway, I hope you reconsider your decision not to register yourself as a legitimate voter. You are at your hometown so it should be easy for you to register and vote, rite? Lack of political awareness among young generations is the key reason why our country is still lagging behind. If we keep on being ignorant, who will decide what our country will turn into? It is afterall the place we live. I believe we all wish to have a better place to stay. Vote for those people who really do the work to improve our living condition. Be aware of the deception and lies, I think you will do a good job in voting. =)

    Sorry for saying soooo much. Hope you have a nice day there in Kuching. Good luck in your PHP!

    “Big prob = small prob, small prob = no prob” - Canto phrase.

    “Father and daughter got no overnight grievance” - Canto phrase.

    You only have one father in your life. Don’t make the relationship turns bitter becoz of some small stuff (emm…maybe). Me too tried very hard to make a better relationship between my parent and me…but till today still trying. :)

    Have a nice weekend!!!…sorry ar….me english no good…..hehehe

    @Orange,
    You won’t know when is the precious moment until it’s gone. So, I’m trying to live my life to the fullest (in other words: “Life is Short, Play More” - XBOX )

    @joshuaun,
    haha…yup, that’s once every 4 years.

    @BlogMalaysia.com,
    Thank you. Yes, I can search for existing free PHP codes, but before that, I need to understand the basic, so that I can do some editing to the codes that can be used.

    @ColourfulWorld,
    Wow..long and nice comment. I clearly know that I don’t hate my dad just less love compare to my mom. The person I hate is the ’someone’ who always try to destroy my relationship with my dad.

    Well, everyone knows that no matter who you vote, you still can’t change the unchangable. No, not only embezzlement, but the society position for us Chinese. Still remember namewee? What he stated is so very true yet kena banned.

    @zzkang,
    Hehe..most of the time my dad will make ’small prob’ into a big one. Not me. =.=||

    @LeeChien,
    还是你比较了解我。哈哈
    Thanks for the comment.

    You seldom write bout yourself hor.. Love your entry. At least I.. no.. we got to know you better now :)

  10. headsteadi Says: MyAvatars 0.2

    your dad is trying so hard but rest assured he loves you so much. i understand how it feels.
    about the project, php + mysql is a good choice. try look for existing open source codes to save time building the program.

  11. Apple Says: MyAvatars 0.2

    @ahlost,
    Thanks. Yup, I don’t always write about myself..too much of myself will become a diary blog already (which I don’t want this blog to become like this)

    @headsteadi,
    I’ll see what I can do on both family relationship and programming ;) thanks

    Hello Apple!

    Sorry that we responded late to your post that we had tagged u on.

    Anyway, thanks a lot for putting it up! And most of all, thanks for helping us spread the word of love and peace to everybody out there.

    Your post is so touching. U are spot on! Blood is thicker than water, and hence, we should always learn to appreciate our flesh and blood even if they have hurt u real bad. We’re sure u will sort things out with your dad yeah? =)
