Like wtf?

I had the experience of my life few hours ago.
I can't believe it happened. To me.
It was not tragic, but it certainly is an experience worth mentioning over and over again.

So at around 10pm, I was gonna depart from my house to Subang to meet Richmond and Nick and whoever who was there.
I already had this slight feeling that something may happen because my grandmother kept advicing me to drive safe and it's not good to go out so late at night.
She mentioned it more than usual but I did not want to think of it that much.
And summore my glasses was being fixed and my mum actually adviced me not to drive as I did not have my glasses.

So anyway, I just drove out.
When I reached the first roundabout,
I started off proper like usual and attempted to eat into the inner lane which I couldn't because there were cars.
So I kept the outer lane and drove slowly.
So fine, one car from the inner lane cut passed me.
Then suddenly,
out of nowhere,
this dark coloured car zoomed very near to the right of my car, honked and braked suddenly.
Instincts will make me brake my car too at that very time as I did not want that car to bang into me.
So I braked.

Then came the split second moment when we decided on who should go first.
As I was about to step on the oil,

*bang*
Yes. not very loud.

I drove off abit, thinking it was some stuff that fell of from my back seat.
I looked into the mirror.
WTF.
A man lying on the floor picking his motorcycle up.
SHit. I did not know wat to do.
My father always advised my siblings and I not to stop when a car bang you from the back as he may be up to no good.
And at that very same roundabout 2 weeks ago,
a motorcycle banged into my mum who was using my car and she had many people surrounding her and threatened her.

So obviously naturally I would pray that none of those things would happen to me.
I drove off slowly, as I knew it would just be a small thing as the bang wasn't even very loud.

Then my worst nightmare came through.
I looked to my left, a car was following me damn fast.
I sped a little, hoping he would give up and would just show his anger.
He didn't.

He came even quicker now.
I looked to my left. It was a chinese man,
a very very angry one.
He shouted some things in cantonese. Something which went like 'I still dared to run?'
The vulgarity came abit later.
Then he rolled down his windows.
He brought out some handcuffs.
WTf. It was damn freaky I tell you.
I was like shit. I am so dead. Pls go away.

Then he drove off alittle faster, attempted to brake in front of me,
he kept asking me to stop.
HOW COULD I?
I did not know who he was.
What if he's some big shot gangster who was gonna kill me.

This time, I stared at him again.
And woah,
for the first time in my life,
a gun was pointed to me.
right towards my car heading for my face.

My right leg immediately shifted to the brakes.
And slowed down my car.

HE stopped right in front,
Came down.

I locked my doors.
He tried to open my door.
Who was he. WAt does he want?

He started shouting in cantonese. He said I dared to hit and run. He was furious. At least he looked like he was.
I remembered he had a gun.
I opened the door. I was nervous.
He asked for my IC and driving license, I gave him both.

Man : YOU HIT AND RUN??? #%@#%@# (cantonese)

Me : sorry! i duno wat happened. maybe we shud turn back (english)

Man : wat you dont know. (english)

HE then took my identity cards with him and asked me to follow his car to the police station in S.Alam nearby.

I called my dad immediately while trailing his car, and told wat happened.
Till then, I still am not sure who he was.

We went back to the roundabout, the motorcyclist was no longer there.

Then we arrived.
Out of panicked and confusion,
I simply parked the car.
He asked me to repark.

But i wasn't scared. No. Not at all.
I had a strong argument.
I know wat happened clearly.
I am not someone who gives in easily.

He started telling the story to the policemen.
A crapshit overly exaggerated story.
Which was not even true.
Not a single bit.

He looked at the side of my door and told the police the motor banged there, causing the dent.
I told him it was caused by my house gate.
But no, the police doesn't listen to you.

One even came nearby and said "pagar mana boleh macam ni"
I felt like slapping his face.

But i did not lose my cool.
I even asked the chinese man," do you even know where the motor hit me?"
He did not reply at first.
I said, "the back. see this marks?"

But he continued with his bullcrap stories.
I said,"Can you let me explain my side of the story?"
Then he said "don't need.i was the witness! I saw"

Saw?
All you saw was a man falling from his motor and me driving off.
And you assumed I hit him off and I ran.

The conversation between me and him in the policestation was pretty pointless.
I kept talking to him, but he had stupid replies.
The more I talked to him, the more confident I felt.
I knew he doesn't know anything about what really happened.
HE just simply assumed.

Then there was once when I decided to remain silent.
He talked all shit and smoked his cigg.
I just crossed my hands and stared away.
Then he asked "do you think you were in the right or wrong??"
I did not reply.
He asked again.
I chose not to reply again.
He then asked again.
Which I finally said,"Whatever I say is gonna be wrong. wat's the point?"
He said something stupid which I had forgotten which prompted me to say,"I don't think I'm in the wrong honestly"

"are you a police?"

"If i'm not a police, why i bring you to balai?"

"can i see ur badge?"

He showed me his card.

"Oh ... you kurang ajar ah.."

"?? like that also kurang ajar?"

"kurang ajar la!"

I seriously didn't know it is against the citizen rights to demand for a proof that a certain someone is a police after he took my identity cards.

He was just waiting there for the motorcyclist to report. It was so obvious. He just wanted someone or something to stand on his side. Because he wasn't even a proper witness.

Anyway,
thinking back about my conversation with him is such a pain in the ass.
Now I understand wat the public sees of the police force. And to think I was at their side once. Bah.

My dad arrived not long after,
which was perfect timing.

Suddenly the police acted all nice and chicken shit in front of my father.
Which sucks obviously.
And my dad miraculously solved everything through talking.

My siblings arrived then and I was sent home.
My dad took the man to teh tarik or something.

I also found out that he apologised to me through my dad.
-_-
I think he eventually realised that,
YOU DONT JUST SIMPLY SCARE PPL OFF BY SHOWING OFF UR HANDCUFFS AND POINT A GUN AT PEOPLE?
Omg. If only I can report him.
SIMPLY MAN.
ARGHH.

And someone bang me from the back I got the right not to stop ok?
You don't need to chase me all the way jus because you assumed I banged into him.

Man.
The way he approached me was all rude.
I don't blame his actions actually,
normal instincts for a policeman.

But the way he approached me I felt was simply too much.
And was very rude too.
He even made fun of my inability to speak chinese as a chinese.

So after all that crap,
I obviously didn't get to go to subang anymore.
Which was pretty unfortunate,
but to be honest,
I wasn't even really affected by what had happened.
Somehow,
I had the courage to speak firmly to the accuser.
Maybe because I know that I was not in the wrong.

Seen those greatest police chase on tv?
I never thought I would be involved in those kinda things!
man.
-_-

I also don't think this is something I would forget very soon,
but wat the heck.

Roundabouts have always sucked in my opinion anyway.


p/s:off to vietnam. brb on tuesday!

Click

Watched Click.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
Very long never seen such a touching story liau!!! :o

I bet ppl who have not watched the movie must be thinking wtf? and giving me the O.o face.
But.. yes.. it's a comedy.
But a very meaningful storyline behind it too.
:'(

---

Also, several Australian Uni Representatives came to my college to brief students who are interested.
Freaking waste of time wei.
I thought I could get a clearer picture of my future but I got more confused at the end of the day instead.

-_-

Everyone who was there brought their parents along to REGISTER for the unis.
And those who choose to enquire actually have stuff they already planned to ask.
NO ONE WAS LIKE ME OVER THERE.

Ppl there are those who already have what they want in mind and just want more info(s) regarding their course of choice or see which university offers the most appropriate degree for them.

However,
for a clueless boy like me,
I just randomly asked some things which I may or may not do just for the sake of not wasting my time.
Sometimes, I just stand behind some people asking questions just so hopefully I may be able to 'accidentally' pick up something I may be interested in.
Which didn't work obviously. :/

So I began searching through a list of courses just maybe I can suddenly spot one I may be interested in.
But almost all was a possibility.
-_-

I can't be going to the representatives and ask,"helo i got no idea wat i want to do pls help me"
Haih.

The reasons for my clueless future:

1)No specific passion

2)Interested in something that has no good job prospects

3)Low entry requirements for a specific course a turnoff

4)Like the course but realistically too tough for me

5)Too big/severe of a choice to make

6)I can't make decisions

7)Want a course which sounds good/has a good reputation

:(

APIIT Inter College Cyber Games Day 2

So we got home after Day 1, exhausted but freaking happy.
We decided not to train hard that night to ease our mind and relax our body. We planned for one game but in the end we had none.

I crawled to my bed at 8pm and slept till the next morning.
Somehow, the nervousness was all gone.
:D

This time however, instead of taking the trains, I drove there bringing 2 of my teammates along.
Lalala.

When we arrived, we checked the boards and was feeling damn proud cause we were among the 8 out of 25(?) who went through!
Bwahahaha.

People must be fearing us. ><
There were 3 Taylor teams initially but one didn't make it through.

Our first match was against a team from MMU.
And we were the first to play too!
:o

We also lost the coin toss for that game.
Which make us didn't get our prefered side.
And.

We.
Didn't.
Win.
That match.

:(

Dem sad lah. Cause if we had won that match, we would be playing in the semis already. Which is damn comfortable cause we know even if we had lost in the semis we would be able to play for 3rd/4th placing. But we didn't.

The....matchups.

Haih.
The MMU team which had beaten us went all the way into the finals, meeting the other Taylor's team.
The Taylors team won that match.

So went there all the way to play a match and go home it's pretty disappointing.
But I guess we can also be super proud that we made it into Day 2.
And the lunch they provided for Day 2 is nicer too~ :D

Quarterfinals. Big semangat booster.

Drove to Kajang after that to chill out at one of my teammate's house.
-___-
Had Kajang satay too which was very.. normal.
I don't get wat's so special.

Oklah. I lost my flow of words again.

APIIT Inter College Cyber Games 2006

Most readers do not know I belong to a clan, a gaming clan.
It's called NtL.
I am too lazy to brief regarding the history of my clan so I'm not doing it.
Click here for the very inactive clan forums. :)

Anyway, the APIIT ICCG 2006 would be the 2nd tournament we were joining. The WCG CyberCafe Preliminaries would be the first, but I don't think that's counted cause we fought the winner at the very first round! Argh. Some cafe sponsored team which I won't bother naming cause no one would know anyway.

So anyway,
-_-
it was a 2 day tournament.
First day was meant for the group stages, whereas the 2nd day the knockout round will commence(which will start from the quarters since there will be 8 groups and only the champions from each group will proceed)

Two teammates and I were so freaking lost on how to get to Bukit Jalil that I think we got conned when we asked for directions on how to take the trains.
-_- freaking bullies.
Explaining about the train journey would be as boring as it was for us boarding the train so I won't bother.

We arrived and met up with the other teammates.
Saw other teams. Look gaya as predicted. Like dem pro.
:(

Bla bla bla delay like hell,
then finally they called the teamleaders out for the draw.

Group A to Group H.
Damn 'kan cheong'.
waited patiently to see Taylor's NtL appear on the board.

Group A.
4 teams announced.
No NtL.

Group B.
Nope.

Group C.
Not yet.

-_-
Got worried after a while. Cause I tot they missed out our registration somehow.
Then they reached the final group, which is group H.

APT WLTD.
IMU.
Taylors Yeo ... something-something.
WTF WHERES TAYLORS NTL.
Then i panicked.

Only then when I realised that the Yeo something something was actually our team.
They didn't know our dem famous clan name. -____- so they just wrote the leader's name.

But we requested them to write the clan name down anyway. :D
Weee~

But wtf la final group. Last team there summore. -_-"
Sure wait dem long.

team draw table

To cut things short,
we waited dem freaking long.
And they kept delaying for no apparent reason.
AND I WAS DAMN NERVOUS OK??

my teammates could see that. dem obvious. so nice of them to keep comforting me.
T_T
keep seeing the IMU participants walking here walking there with their IMU t-shirts.
Summore found out they trashed the Apt team.
Omg dem worried.

When it was our turn to play(last team to start a game i think),
already so tired and lost alot of mood. But still must concentrate.
Won the coin toss, picked our prefered side which is scourge,
and..

was
damn
good
our
team.
:D

WE WON!
hahahaha.
After that victory,
we felt dem happy.
like half a body in liau next round.
cause we saw how IMU trashed the other team.

we won that game also lah.
Pretty easy.
very sporting team. wished us luck for the next round.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
the very lousy-looking group table.

eh.
i got no flow at all.
so i am gonna stop here.

To sum it all up,
we topped our group.
AND QUALIFIED FOR THE QUARTERFINALS OMGZ.
with another taylors representative too.
so got 2 taylor teams in the quarters. :D

I slept like a pig when I got home. Was freaking tired.
But happy. XD

Okay.
Will post about Day 2 of the competition in my next post.
Now no mood. Lousy flow of words.

Gearing up for the future

I'm feeling alot better regarding my future now. Next year, you know.
Because of such high entry requirements set by the University of Melbourne, I must certainly have a second option for just-in-case situations. In fact, I don't even think I can make it there anymore. Sorry Adrian :(

But hey c'mon, even the smart ones in my class are saying it's very difficult to get in there. And you see me there, waving my hands in desperation telling them that I actually want to study there?! I must be nuts. Even just thinking about it. There's no way I can out-do the smarter ppl and if they think they cannot manage to enter that uni, I shouldn't even be worrying abouit it. Which is quite sad, of course.

IN FACT,
i may not even be going overseas next year which i had originally planned. I would probably do twinning if my results aren't satisfactory enough.

Then my friend told me about this another uni in australia. ANU. The Australian National University.

@@

Which is not a bad uni really, but i don't hear much from it somehow. Tell me more about it if you know pls.
Entry requirements slightly lower if compared to melb u.
and pretty 'achievable' too!

~_~

As I type now, I am resting my hands on several books which is pushing my keyboard towards the monitor. O.o
I just want to say that I still have alot of work.
T_T

On an irrelevant note,
I went to the library just now to meet a friend.
As I put my bag down,
this ex-classmate of mine suddenly shouted..

"HEY ALEX!!!"

"oh hi~"

"HEY. WEARING SAME SHIRT FROM YESTERDAY AH?!!!!"

"O.o? NO! shhh why u talking so loud"

"SAME SHIRT LA I REMEMBER ORANGE!"

"NO ITS NOT THE SAME SHIRT! and you are talking very loud! shh"

"I REMEMBER THE COLOR WOR!!! ITS THIS SHIRT"

"No it's not! I wore brownish/green(i dont know which) yesterday! this is orange"

Then I walked off.
-_-

She was speaking on top of her lungs.
For I duno what reason.
T_T
Maybe she just wanted to embarass me for fun.

Or maybe she knew about my state of confusion from the educational aspect and future aspect and just wanted to cheer me up.

Whichever way, it was still embarassing for me when she did that.

-_-"
