Back to school, for the second time.

Dear friends and family,
Sorry again for not updating in my blog, obviously classes and life have taken a toll on my time.
Well, I guess I skipped the whole update of fall 2008.
So, yeah Back to school for the second time, but the difference is now it's -12'C and 2009.

Fall 2008
Was a great term. Did well in class, enjoy my friends, enjoy the atmosphere, enjoy having a partnership, someone I really think is cool and fun, even went to Jason Mraz Concert in Milwaukee, life is wonderful...

Then it hits, when you're up there too long, it'll have to come down...

Winter Break 2008
Wasn't too great, partnership started to break into pieces, the boredom of solitude hits, the irrational-emotional trait in my brain hits, confidence level dropped to 3 years low...

However, I did make some new friends, and remade some friends, so it's fine...isn't that everything anyone cares about?

Winter Term 2009
Partnership broke down completely, without notice and warning, well not totally without notice but somehow surprising...I do like surprises, but sometimes...haha not this type...
School got so much harder, emo-frequency on 3 years high, maturity-level fluctuates heavily, intoxicated level - hard to achieve.

So, am I in good shape?? I need to pick myself up very soon.
I want to expand my horizon, I want to study abroad in UK, I want to do internship in UK, I want to do a euro trip, I want to do student exchange in Cairo or Arab world, I want $$, I want a car, I want a crib, I want women (lol), I want a good job, I want to start my business, I want so many things!!

But anyway, la la la la life is wonderful~

Chicago Shopping~

So I stayed in Chicago for like three days, and all I did is fencing, eating and shopping.
What did I buy?? as below~~


Clockwise from the left is Banana Republic plaid shorts, BR t-shirt, H&M knitted-sleeveless vest, Tommy Hilfiger trifold wallet, and you might see at the back is a black blazer from H&M.
Tommy Hilfiger Trifold wallet and H&M black blazer

So all of these kinda cost me a fortune buy I decided not to buy a trench coat for now, and all of these
cost a decent nice trench coat. And the bill? $120++

Another short update~

From KL to Chicago

This is a quick post of my trip from KL > Seoul > Chicago

The 12 hours long flight wasn't that bad after all...you'll know why by reading...

Yes, this is my first snack on the plane, roasted peanuts and Korean Beer. And on the right is my private screen, as you see I was watching Kungfu Panda.



And then my meal, some Korean cuisine and soup. See the little control under the screen? Yes that's the a control to play games, or do whatever shit they offer. Plus the screen is touch screen!!



So yeah, that's a short update of the flight! Korean Air kinda rocks!

I like rain.

I was watching this movie called “一一”. Literally it means one one, but the title should be interpreted vertically, which means two. So the real title? A one and a Two.
This movie makes me think a lot...

I was slightly depressed that I don't have a normal kind of high school life, that kind of puppy love or high school relationship era... it is non-existent in my life cause I skipped through that part of life...

And now, I can only expect the adulthood relationship, sad eh?? It kinda sucks when I miss the feeling of first love... (though I do have my "first love" around 14, but it's not the same)
Why?

I was in an all boy school.

I like rain. (Not to be confused with the Korean popstar Rain-Bi who many of my friends said we looked alike for a lil')
I like seeing rain. I like the feeling when water flows down windows or a big panel of glass, or little raindrops making ripples in a pond of water or in puddle of water...
I like rain. Cause it cleanses the earth and all souls. (of course it also save my time washing my car when I purposely parked my car outside)

I like this feeling, it gives people hope. It gives us a promise, a promise that hard work will bring results, a hopeful feeling that after the down-times in your life is a up up up.
So having a rainy day...isn't too bad...you'll know the bright blue sky will appear and if you're lucky rainbow follows.

**The above statement doesn't apply to typhoon or hurricane kinda of rain**

I love rain.

the sky is clearest after the rain."-

6.00 Am September 1st

-Day Tripper-
So...I was up till 6.00am again...
Looking at my room, entangled headphones and wires, a facial towel on the floor, CDs, newly changed bedsheets, bags unused for two months...

-Drive My Car-
My life is technically a mess, but somehow I felt the future is bright, and life's good for once.
The dirty bowl and spoon lying on my table (I used it to eat cereals and Baskin Robbin's ice-cream at 5.30am while watching Dirty, Sexy, Money)
I'm just wondering...what's going on...life is just so...easily and simply fulfilling...and yet still so empty...

-Nowhere Man-
What was I thinking all the time?? (Besides God's ultimate creation, the opposite sex)
What was I doing?
What is the future?
What is life?
Shall we care only for ourselves? Or shall we care for others?
Shall we do what's right? or try hard to be what's left?

-Michelle-
A long awaited message or mail... but it's not there...
I wonder what happened in the process??

-In My Life-
Hmm... confused and sleepless....

-Girl-
I found out I really like spaces...like spaces between my lines... I generally like things to take form or structure or system... haha weirdly enough I'm a pretty tidy guy...at times...well at least things should be in order...

-Paperback writer-
Oh some might wonder why those oddly positioned words to start of my paragraph...
Haha, Amir you'll probably knew it from the start... = )

-Eleanor Rigby-
Happy 21st Birthday Amir!!
hmmm...will I make it to Genting and the casino this friday???

-Yellow Submarine-
Hahahaha, okok, those things are song titles, just the songs I'm listening to while typing, and till now, you guys probably get it with Yellow Submarine to end... Yes, it's the never dying 'Beatles'.
