Now I realize. There are times, boys can be some real idiots.
One of the biggest mistake I had made in my life. However, there is no time for regrets but to look forward and never to repeat the same mistake again.
Sorry is not the word a person would want to listen. The action that counts. It might have been too late for what happened but it is never too late for what is going to happen.

Trial?
My trial as a bartender will begin on Wednesday. The manager ask me to fill up the form and now I realised that I had lost my TFN.
Seem like I will have to call up the Australia Government and get one tomorrow.

Our purpose?
Coming down to the Earth with a purpose? An arranged purpose or we will have to search and define our own?
What is your purpose? Do you even know?
There are times I like to argue with my mum. There are a lot of times she won't agree with the things I planned but yet she still trust that I can manage my own life well. That what being parents are all about. Love each other. Form a family of two. Give birth and form bigger family. Later on, nurture the kids and educate them and watch them grow.
Today my mum has been very funny in the internet. She would always hope that I would lead a normal life. A life with a sustainable income, form a small family and lead a normal life. Being me, I would like to defy that law about leading a normal life.
I don;t mind forming a family but I just want to explore the world. Search for my own purpose. There are a lot of people in this world that had done great things and taken the paths less taken by other people. I admire the courage shown by those people who are willing to sacrifice for their goals and dreams. It takes a lot of discipline to be able to do so.
Few weeks ago, I met this engineer who had sacrifice his life to build bridges for the third world country. My mum argued that those third world country would have engineers and why not they do it and there are a lot of engineers outside and they can take turns to volunteer to help those countries. If only life is that simple.
In third world country, how many engineers in the country? Even if they do have, do they have enough manpower and skills? With the exponential growth in the populations, everywhere seem to be lacking of engineers. Even if so, how many people across the world would volunteer their time to travel to the third world country to build those bridges. In some country, waiting for the projects to be approved would take months and how many engineers would be willing to sacrifice that period of time?
If he is not doing it then who will help those people? Is he leading a normal life?
A normal engineers would have an office, an assistant, and a decent shelter. He does't have all those stuffs. With a laptop and his calculations, he will have to come out with ways to obtained the materials, technologies, and the manpower to build a bridge. Those bridges might seem simple but it connects those people from rural area into civilisations.
When you arrived at country like Cambodia, you will understand how rural their rural places can be. I will definitely pay those places a visit and see how things work out for them. You can hear from the others bout how bad those places can be but you will never truly understand them unless you experienced them for yourself.
Don't give people the crap that you pity them because they do not have enough food, have the facilities like you do, and then give people the bullshit on how you have donated these and that for them. What they need would be sustainable actions. Clothings and food that you have donated would only last them for awhile, but if you help the community to grow and they themselves would be able to make a living out of it in future.
"Don't give a man fish but instead give him a fishing rod and teach him to fish".
Just now, I didn't know how the conversation had ended in a way that I told my mum that, if you want a daughter in-law and grandchildren then ask Kelvin to get them for you. It can be his duty.
Pushing all the duty to my bro. I wouldn't be intentionally to go and look for all these things and won't mind having them. It is just that I won't promise anything as I have something else in mind right now.

I will..
Today I will finish up the road assignment and definitely the geo-engineering part 1. Have been slacking. Wondering why.
Friday morning, I had just printed the appendix out for my workings. I will have to do them before 11am and then head to uni and deal with the road assignment. NICE! It is really awesome.

Decide
'God determines who walks into your life.It is up to you to decide who you let to walk away,who you let to stay, and who you refuse to let go.
Caipiroska
Today cocktail is Caipiroska. Now following the recipe from what I have learned from Vic Bar School and I like it very much. This is the fun part about cocktail making. There are no boundaries to what you can produce. There are so many ingredients and you can mix and modify accordingly.
Just like my life. There is no boundaries to it.
I still remember the other day interview. One of the question was, "how far do you want to go in your career?". I don't limit myself to how far I can go. Obviously that is my answer. In life, there are times it is easier to be honest with strangers.
The taste of the Caipiroska. Sour, bitter, stingy, and smooth. Just like our life. A mixture of different taste.
Lately, I don't know how to describe my life. I find that lately, I have understand myself better. I may have not become the person I wanted to be when I was younger but at least I am following a path that I am believing in right now. When I was a kid, it is easier to think that life is simple. Study hard and get a job that I dreamt off and then find a nice and pretty lady and marry and form a family. However, life get much more interesting and you will want to discover more. You changed your job preference. You add more goals into your life and keep chasing on. You found a lot of nice girls and things do not work out. You want this and that, and in the end you will have to learn to balance things up.
Right now, I just want a job on bartending so that I can improve my skills on my new found interest. Have to start studying soon for the final. Have to backup for the assignments. Have been slacking.

JUJU ~ Hello Again
In case if you don't understand. The lyrics is as below.
The season that we always waited for
Passed by without saying anything
It rains incessantly on this street
Wrapping up a few regrets and faults
Time passes as I swore not to cry
I became alone without noticing my aching heart
"In [my] memory We can live together forever"
Even now your voice echoes in my heart That is the shadow of a wandering love
Did you cry a little? At that time I could not see
The reason I am living is not to know how far my limits are
However If I open a new door and go out to the sea
I can feel "the end" perfectly beyond the waves
I extend this hand and advance to the sky and catch the wind
Let's go on living
It will come around somewhere again
A place that has existed since the distant past
Only at night does the season change
Before long The rain had stopped
"In [my] memory We can live together forever"
Even now your voice echoes in my heart That is the shadow of a wandering love
Did you cry a little? At that time I could not see

望むことは何？私が問いかける
何もいらない嘘ではなかった
消える世界にも私の場所がある
それも知らない自分でさえも
閉じこめた意識は時を結び
願いを繰り返すまた会うまで
忘れないで
眠る日々の中私に残るのは
記憶それとも忘却だろうか
やがて世界には眠りが訪れて
一人一人の明日に変える
選ばれた未来を見送るのにな
願いが叶っても忘れないで
忘れないで
消える世界にも私の場所がある
それも知らない自分でさえも
思い出すまでは
何もいらない嘘ではなかった
消える世界にも私の場所がある
それも知らない自分でさえも
閉じこめた意識は時を結び
願いを繰り返すまた会うまで
忘れないで
眠る日々の中私に残るのは
記憶それとも忘却だろうか
やがて世界には眠りが訪れて
一人一人の明日に変える
選ばれた未来を見送るのにな
願いが叶っても忘れないで
忘れないで
消える世界にも私の場所がある
それも知らない自分でさえも
思い出すまでは

6th Anniversary
18th August was G-stringZ 6th year Anniversary. I miss those days. When it comes to G-stringZ, it would be the 5 awesome people who got together for basketball.
Friendships. They are the best things in life. Cherish it. I am.

The Sweet Dream Will Never Do...
This line rings in my ear after I watch the movie Armageddon. Just back from another awesome trip. More experience gained. More fun achieved and the tiredness is worth it.
Life...
Gain and Loss
Success and Fail
Sweet and Bitter
Love and Hatred
A constant battle between these things. I hate to fail. I hate loss. Hate, is the opposite of love. Simple, I love gain and success.
Who doesn't? However, a loss always reward you with a different gain. Failing now means you will learn to success in the future. Life isn;t that bad.
Sweet and bitter. They should always come together. Life is a mixture of these two. Why do I love cocktails? Cocktails are most of the time a mixture of bitter and sweet. Sweetness from the syrup or juice, while bitterness from the spirits or liqueur.
Some say that to be strong is to hold on while some say that to be strong is to be able to let go. To me, I prefer to box them up. Memories can be both sweet and bitter but they should both be cherished together. This is my decision. I had prefer not to forget or let go. I had realised that these two things can't be separated.

Made in... Have you guys ever wonder where were you guys made?
Looking at this, I would think I was made in France.
Even though I might be made in France but I was being finished in Malaysia. All there things about me. They don't describe who am I. Do they?
As a son, am I filial? I don't think so. Not planning to go back on the coming Summer. Spend money. Fool around. Sleep a lot.
In my family, being the eldest. I am not as bright as my brother and not as good in sport as my sister.
Among friends, I am not good looking like Kah Ho, Smart like Dian, music talented like Kean Soon, and not a good talker like Lionel.
Age at 22, there are a lot of entrepreneurs outside are making millions now.
Hurt more people than I help the others.
I am still wondering.
In life there are time you will wonder. Just wonder some random stuffs.
I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.
There are things in life that you hope that you wouldn't miss. Some part that you hope that you can be every part of it and yet it is not reachable. It is only a dream.
You hope that you wouldn't miss a thing and miss it very much.
Please enjoy the beautiful song sang by Yuna Ito, I don;t want to miss a thing. Original song by Aerosminth.
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever, forever and ever
I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing
I don't wanna miss one smile, I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you, right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close, feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment for all the rest of time
Don't wanna close my eyes, don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
Yeah, I don't wanna miss a thing

Morning Coldness
Start my morning with a song from Laura, titled "Use Somebody". Enjoy..
This morning, the blanket seems more comfortable than it normally does. Lying underneath it, and reached out for my mobile phone. The time struck 6.30am. I should wake up and go to uni. However, the comfort provided by the blanket refrained me from doing so.
Lately, a few things came into my mind. Everything seems smooth. It will be.
Lunch and Dinner
"Sam, where for dinner?"
"Glen Waverly.."
"I thought we just went there for lunch."
"I still want the Roast Chicken Rice."
"......."
In reality, is to see the chick working at the restaurant.....

Its SATURDAY!!
Nothing beat the sunny bright day and still I have to go to uni to finish up my assignment. AWESOME!
Betrayal
There are two profession in this world that can't betray their customers.
The first are those who practise medicine and the second are BARTENDERS. They both can serve either medicine or poison to the customers.

The End of a Class
Awesome class? Awesome lesson? YES!!
Fruit Daiquiri.... 30 ml White Rum, 30 ml fruit liqueur, 10 ml Sugar Syrup......
Learn to wait and serve...... One group in the bar and another group outside the bar waiting...
Pina Colada.. Sad that the pineapple wasn't that good. This drink is highly recommended when you are having holiday at the beach.
Tom Collins. This is a good start before any drinks.
Garnishes. All busy garnish their own glass. It is confusing. Just too confusing on which tool to use.
Layer. I did a layer? YES. Had always wanted to try layering the spirits and liqueur. Taste great. Coffee and liqueur. The Galliano Hot Shot. 15ml galliano, 15ml hot coffee and 15 ml cream.
My group's garnish.
Simple and could have done it better? At least the heart made of the orange skin is creative.
This is the best I think. I wonder how should I pour my cocktail in?
The garnishes.
Flatliner.. Who want to challenge this drink? We will have a go at it this Saturday.
Just being busy.

Bartender?
Finally I passed my theory and practical. Am I a bartender now?
I am indeed a bartender now. Right now, I have to look for a job to broaden my experience in that field. It is awesome. I am the top scorer for the theory and yet I am only second in the practical. I really have to admit, the drinks they made seem nicer than me. My speed is the only things that counts. Well, aesthetic also counts. Seem like I still have lots to learn.
Tomorrow will be the final lesson for us. We will have to demonstrate the things Simon had taught us for the past two weeks tomorrow. After tomorrow class, then I am a fully fledge bartender.
It is awesome to know that bartender can work anywhere in the world. My classmates plan to work in Italy. There is another one planning to work in UK. Where will this skills of mine bring me to?
I wonder.
Mixing drinks for people is awesome. It possible invent your own drinks? That will be LEGENDARY!!
It is always exciting once you have acquired new skills. Something you like, your interest, you will always hope that it can lead to where you want to be.
