How would you define a person as good or bad?

Here a scenario. There's this guy... let's call him Alex. Alex knows a guy named David who is philanthropist, does charities, build schools and hospitals and sounds and moves like Mr nice guy. One day, he finds out that this David is actually a hardcore criminal. You know the type that smuggles drugs and alcohols and sells arms to third world countries and does all the nasty stuff known and unknown to a common man. So, how would should Alex define David? Good guy or bad guy?

Here's scenario number two. There's another guy name Bob. He's a member of David organisation. He does all the dirty stuff for David and know him as a ruthless boss. Then, one day he stumble upon David's charities and all the good stuff he does and hears the people telling that David is all good and nice. So, how should Bob define David? Bad or good?

If we know a person for his wrong doing, let's say... we are in Bob's shoes, we might interpret that David is trying to balance off the bad stuff by doing the good stuff. So, Bob might define him as the bad guy with a soft spot but Alex might defines him as the good guy with a dark secret.

So, does the first impression defines the person? Or do we define a person based on what we think we know about the person?

Anyway, is it fair to judge a person for what he does or for what he is? I'm might be a bad guy but I do what good guys do. So am I good or bad? =/

Thieves get richer, Saints get shot. Be a hypocrite.

There's one thing in life that one must understand and that is one can never be nice to everyone. The world doesn't work that way. In fact, you can never be nice to everyone even if you try to. They wouldn't let you. Think about it. Could you think of anyone who has been nice to everyone? When I meant everyone, I really meant.. Ev-ery-one. Right. You can't. Because there aren't any and even if there is any, people just don't like them. They don't acknowledge such people. Everyone loves Gandhi for the actions he took to bring independence to India. But eventually he was assassinated. Why? He was trying to be nice to everyone. Trying to make all parties happy. Unfortunately, he couldn't. Made some enemies there and here aaand they he shot him. 

Having born and growing up as in Hindu, I was exposed to all type of Hindu epics. You know, the usual Ramayana and other tales. And you know one thing, even the gods aren't nice to everyone. They are only nice to those who worships them or respect them or at least to those who are nice to others all while being dictated by dharma (righteous). Thinking of it, if god were nice to those who worships them, then Ravan wouldn't have gotten killed for he is a lifelong devotee of Lord Shiva. But he was killed because he failed to go by the books or in this case, dharma. So being nice to god but not to others wouldn't safe you from a war and painful death. Same thing goes on in Mahabaratha, another Hindu mythology. All comes to one conclusion. If gods aren't nice to everyone, why should I, a mere mortal be? Simple. I don't. In Christianity, it says that god created man in his own image. So, why shouldn't we do what god would do? Be good to those who are good to you only if they go by the books. But then again, to the believers, Ramayana and Mahabaratha is a great epic mythology. For the non-believers, it's just another fairytale story. It's not about what is written. It's about the message in it.

Lets put it this way. If you're good to the good guys, the good guys would love you and maybe some of the bad guys might hate you. If you're good to the bad guys, the bad guys would love you and sure enough the good guys would ignore you and some if not most of the bad guys would hate you. After all, they are the bad guys. Who you are counts but what you do that matters. 

Think about it. We evolved into what we are today from a primate. We are build to adapt.
So adapt.
Live as a hypocrite. Die as a saint.
If not a saint, let it be a human.

Deep deep inside

I always had this thing for photography and driving but never had the chance to actually pursue the latter. Yeah I've been driving around a lot but the feel is not the same. I'm talking about road trips. Miles and miles of road trip. With that, a couple of photographies to accompany the road trip. First, I need to get a good set of camera. Not something fancy but yeah, something affordable yet practical. Next, a car vehicle. I'm having the right thing in mind. Volkswagen Camper. Been driving a '69 Beetle around for some time. Fell in love with Volkswagen ever since. =P

Volkswagen Camper

'69 Volkswagen Beetle

Now, I'm tied down with pursuing a degree. So all plans for a long distance road trip is put on hold. =/ Sad case. A very severe case of sadness. Oh well, I'll just have to finish the degree and get a job. Just to save some money to get that Camper ready. And then, I'm off to the road trip. A road trip I always dream of going on with. From Kuala Lumpur to Chennai. 6,449 km of road trip. That got to be fun! =D

6,449 km of pure awesomeness! 

Well, let's hope for the best! Good day all.

Summer Break

Summer break. That's what the UK guys gave us students here in Malaysia before we move on to the second year. I guess they forgot that it's summer here all year round. Oh well, four months of summer break is quite fun and boring in the same time. One month just flew by with me doing nothing but driving up and down the peninsular. Fun but tiring. And I'm still broke as hell. Not a single cent in the my hand. Or pocket. Well, not literally. Need to find a job. Got a few in my mind. The money is kinda good. 10 bucks an hour. Big money. Besides, I got two and an half years experience on that field. Sales. Not just any type of sales, it's kitchen sales! They even have an opening for kitchen planners and they would be thrilled to know that I'm from IKEA. =D
But the hours would be crappy. Pro's and con's. The other job would be in Maxis. I heard the pay is good too and the working hours is awesome. Office hours. =D But that would be a three month thing. No weekend jobs. No weekday study, weekend work stunts. So, I'll need to find a second job for that. Again, pro's and con's. So I got only this weekend to make up my mind. Aino Living or Maxis. I might as well just join the former. Or what if I join them both? Maxis on the weekdays and Aino on the weekends?? Nah! I'm just being too greedy. But that again.. YOLO! =P

What a summer break this is! =/

I

I was,
A jockey with no horse,
A lion with no mane,
A fighter with no cause,
The man with no aim.

I am,
A giant with no might,
A gladiator with no glory,
A sun with no light,
The man with no sorry.

I will be,
A king with no knight,
A hunter with no cage,
A day with no night,
The man with no rage.

All good things must come to an end

Like I said before, all good things must come to an end. And so does my employment in IKEA. Just handed in all my stuffs to the HR department. Feels kinda odd. I know it's just a part time job but yet it feels very odd. A feeling like no other that can't be explained. After all, I've been a 'loyal' employee for the past 2 1/1 years. The co-worker are more like a family to me. =/

Oh well. I'll live. Besides, I left in style which means I'm always welcome back to the family. =D
I might return back. It's been a great experience working there. Met famous peoples, funny people, odd people, all type of people. I actually got a chance to understand different people's personalities. All this by just planning a kitchen for them. =)

Very well then, now I got a different mission to carry out. A mission to find a different employment for I need money for my pocket and utility bills. Utility bills as in car monthly payment and fuel. The hunt for job begins now.

In the class feeling bored, waiting for next class. Got the last examination marks, some of it. Nothing to be proud nor ashamed of. Did quite well, so far. Now I got a new thing to change. My phone. Keep dying on me. I guess it just reached it retirement age. =/
Just realized something. Whenever I have something important to do which involved spending money, I'm always out of money. This time is no different. I'm totally out of money. Reason? I recent streak of absences from employment. Thus, no pay. Don't ask me why cause I wouldn't be able to answer. Now, I'll need to find a new job. Not because they fired me or something because... I don't want to give the burden or pleasure of doing so. =P
A man leaves when the times come. And when he leaves, he leaves in style. =)
And that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

The next dilemma would be finding a new employment closer to home. And if possible, something different. So let's hope for the best. =)

*sigh*

Bad day for me. Great day for Malaysia. *sigh*

Next month I'm going back to school and looking back how far I've came before actually starting my degree got me thinking. I've actually wasted three precious years of my life. Yeah, you might go on saying it's all experience, nothing is wasted and stuff like that but personally? I wasted. A lot. Been in and out of colleges for the past one and an half year. Met a lot of peoples. Most of them became good friends. Some of them became kinda of a family. Actually, I got like five people from college calling me their big brother and two of them are girls. Haha! Been working part time in IKEA for two years. Well that is something I would say an experience. Started to earn my very own money. Kinda understand the true value of it. Though sometime I overspend it. It's a whole different world the in the big blue box. Those people in my department are like my second family. Not intermediate family but just family. Had an department outing last Friday. It's the first one I'm attending after two years working in IKEA. People are surely different when they are not wearing their yellow uniform. I spend most of my time in IKEA planning kitchen for the many people. All type of people. Old, young, foreigner, locals, white, black, male, female, family, couple or single. Different people, different taste but one common thing. They want their kitchen to look good but burn a hole in their pocket. I learn to brush my communication and socialize skills by meeting these people. Sometimes, I'm afraid I would like have killed their kitchen dream especially when they say they would think about it and come back later. But when their really do, it feels good. They got like people from all over Malaysia working in IKEA. Different people all wearing the common thing. The bright yellow uniform. Sitting down with one co worker talking about how he got into IKEA got him talking about his time in the army and some accident he had while doing some military exercise which injured the nerves on his left arm. The other day, another yellow friend was talking about his life while sipping coffee during break time. I don't know why but people always tend to open up their story to me. Sometimes thing I say unintentionally ends up motivating them and they would just smile. But no one seems to listen what I've got to say. I suppose its the law of the universe. One can only take or give at one given time. If I listen to one's problem then I shall not speak to one about my problem. But then again, I'm not the type who goes around talking about my problem. After all, it's my problem. Just noticed I've been writing everything in one paragraph. I'm 22 years 2 months 2 weeks old at the time I'm writing this. What a coincidence. Now I'm on a 16 days off from work. So much to say but too much to write. I guess I now know whats causing my headaches. Too much thinking. Can't help it. It's on auto pilot. I need to stop thinking too much. 

Time is a weird thing

Each time I'm in a hurry to work, the buses either leaves the bus stop in Sri Muda late or the driver drives the bus freaking slow. Once I reach Asia Jaya, I'll have to wait an eternity for the next bus. That is what happen every single time I'm in a hurry to IKEA. But just in case I'm in that Asia Jaya for something that requires me being less hurry, everything seems to be perfect. The bus leaves the bus stop in time, the driver drives at full speed and not one but two buses arrives at the Asia Jaya bus stop. Very funny!

Today I was totally not in a mood to work. Work starts at eleven am and I woke up around nine fifteen. After breakfast and lazing around, I left the house around nice forty five. The first bus was full and since I was lazy, I got in the next bus. The second bus left the station around ten ten. As soon I got in the bus, I put on the headset and fell asleep. Around fifteen minutes later, I woke up near Asia Jaya. Lucky me, or else I would end up at Pasar Seni. There, I waited for the bus for ten minutes, and by ten fifty, I was in IKEA. When I was clocking in my time, I was like what the hell?! I'm freaking early by five minutes?!

Time works in a totally weird way. Whenever you're in a hurry, things somehow f*ck. And when you're in peace, everything seems to be perfect. What the hell?!

DiGi WWWOW Awards

Saw this advertisement on TV the other day. The whole ad was filled with yellow colour and the word WWWOW! After watching the ad twice, baru I realize it was some kind of award show for online goers. Bloggers, Facebookers, Youtuber, blah blah blah. So masa boring I dropped by into the site. Memang WWWOW! Lol. Kinda fun looking too. So after looking at some of the entries, I thought to myself. Why not submit Random Guy's Confession in too? Wah lah! Here's my entry and if you wanna vote, vote here. =)

Well it's not fair asking YOU to vote for me but if you do, I would be glad. But if you don't! Well, I wouldn't know if you didn't vote for me unless you told me. Right? =P

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! =P

3am and still wide awake

It's actually fifteen minutes pass three am and I'm still awake. Don't know why but yeah I'm awake. I guess my biology clock got messed up. Or maybe it's the running nose that's got me awake. Whatever it is, it's now leading to another thing. Hunger. Well, not really since I'm always hungry. Anyway, tomorrow's gonna be hell of a day for me. Since I gonna be the only person in my department from six pm right up to ten pm. Haha! Don't know what else to say. Except *gulp*

M.F.B (Missing From Blogging)

Two reasons I was missing from my blog for a some time.
One; I was kinda busy with work and all, so I couldn't find the time nor inspiration to blog.

Two; I was kinda pissed off when the post I was working on wasn't saved when my notebook battery got drained. >:(

But now, I found some inspiration to blog. Maybe I'll start it later tonight or tomorrow once I get the main picture. :)

Snapping Again

After an interview at Midvalley today, thought of snapping some picture to avoid getting bored...

There's no name for this building since its still under construction

The other side of Hilton (the other day I snap the other side)

An empty U64. Not really empty but...

Where the happy hour beverages are made

One second the sky was clear,

Then it started to drizzle,

Followed by thunderstorm,

Heavy rain,

And suddenly, bright blue sky.

One of the landmarks to my home

The Klang River

Home, not really home but just a few metres from home.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning? Lol

I was playing some random quiz on blogthings.com and came through this quiz by the title, What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

I typed in the name and...

This was what I got...

You Are Seductive and Ruthless

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you. You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night. Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe. You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. If you wanna try it, here's the link

At Last I Know The Reason

I've figured it out already now. Why in heavens I got so many viewers from countries like Serbia, Canada, USA, Britain, etc.. They were all searching the same thing I searched in the past. Volvo Amazon or better known as Volvo 122. Searching the image of that car on Google brings them here to Random Guy's Confession. Haha! Know I'm gonna test my theory and see what happens if I post another picture of the car.

Hmm... maybe another one too. Just in case the viewers don't like this version of the car. ;)

Now we wait...

Try waiting for a bus at Asia Jaya after work from 10pm with a hungry stomach and a tired mind.
I did and it was anything but fun. I had to wait till 11.15pm for the last bus. I fear I missed the last bus. If I did missed the last bus...
Anyway, this was what I did while waiting for the bloody bus...

I was not sleeping on the road.

The phone was on the road

After the bus arrived, I thought why stop snapping... =P

I, Geminian

In ancient Greek mythology, Gemini's ruler - Mercury, was the light-footed messenger of the gods who darted back and forth across the heavens delivering news - which might explain why those born under the sign of the 'Twins' are always on the move; thirsty for knowledge and new experiences. Terminally curious and sometimes even mischievous, Geminis are multi-faceted souls who enjoy knowing a little bit of everything but generally not too much about one particular subject. It's just that variety is the spice of their lives!

In Astrology, Geminis have also gained the reputation of being the incessant talkers of the zodiac. Those Twins that don't have the 'gift of the gab' are usually talented writers or have a special interest in foreign languages. In love, they look for a partner who can keep up with them mentally and physically! And, to quote Oscar Wilde, "there's one thing worse than people talking about you, that's people not talking about you." Whether Geminis like it or not, people are usually "talking about them". Together with Scorpio and Virgos, they are a sign that is often discussed, dissected and sometimes even put down by the other signs of the zodiac. Sometimes this is a subtle form of jealousy by others, because Geminis do lead very unique and unusual lives[=)]. The Gemini personality can appear mysterious or detached to others and therefore they are often misunderstood and unappreciated for the talents they offer to the world at large[So true].

Another reason Geminis evoke so much interest is many born under this sign are multi-dimensionally talented. In money matters, some Geminis are very adept and quick at making it...and spending it too. Many Geminis are involved in international financial wheeling and dealing. They love the adventure and game playing involved in out-thinking other people. Gemini's can be very haphazard about their financial affairs too, with many of them ending up in divorce courts mainly because their partners have become tired of living on the edge of a financial precipice.


well this is my star sign description. The large, bold fonts are the one you should pay extra attention to. If you wanna read the whole text, be my guest. =)

Is it for Real?

I know I only got one follower and that is because for the sake of supporting me. Thanks sham-v for the support. ;)
But looking at the life traffic thingy on the bottom right states that I got viewer from all over the world. Is it for real? I mean there are people from Edinburgh, Chicago, Stockholm, Denmark and even Serbia reading or at least viewing my blog. And the most interesting thing is they all view the same post. Untitled. The one with the Volvo and Vespa picture in it. I mean there's nothing much to read in it just a couple of picture in it. This has kept me puzzled for some time.

I just realized that I'm still bad at judging people's character. I guess I should change my policy of trusting people first then judging them their character. It's like the phrase, 'Guilty till proven innocent'. I don't trust you till you gain my trust. Damn! I must have been a fool in trusting you people. Never mind. Every dog has its day. My day would come. And I'm very sure that the day is near.
