Have you ever heard girls complaining, "All guys are the same"?... Is it really true?.. Well if it is, I am proud to be a guy..
Basically, this complain occurs when the girl got frustrated with our attitude or dissapointed with us. These words could evoke the ego of a guy, and he will get angry or maybe broken hearted. Why should you react these ways? Think positively.
"All guys are the same" tells us that we share a lot in common. Undisputedly, most of the guys know what is masturbation, how fun it is when disturbing girls, how not to get serious in a relationship with a girl, how an exposure of our favourite body part of a girl could turn us on, how a sexy chic passing by could attract our attention, and so on..
And at the same time, we also know what is being a gentleman, how to respect the girls, what is serious relationship with a girl, how not to look a girl as a sex symbol only, and so on..
Mostly every guy have these knowledges and attitudes. It is only depends on how extreme a guy is involved in these above matters. When a girl complains, "All guys are the same", she is true and that is what making a guy, a guy. If you could find a guy that is totally different from any other guys, probably, he is cheating on you about his attitude or probably, he is not a guy at all.
If a girl wanted to have a relationship with a guy, she must accept the fact that all guys are the same. Afterall, we shouldn't blame girls of this mindset because they are humans too. Humans have a lot of expectations, but love could cease expectations away. Love is unconditional.
So to all guys. Be happy when a girl says to you, "All guys are the same" because she agrees that you are born with a dick. But please respect their opinion though they could be wrong. Afterall, they are our inspiration.

Money or Love?
One of my friend who was having his own bussiness went bankrupt because his partner cheated him and ran away with the company's money. This has happened a few months ago, but i do not know until he rang me up. Since that day, I was journeying with his suffering and tried my best to help him find a job, getting him a motorcycle license and ext.
As I was sometimes visiting and had some chat with him, he told me that though he is broken, he felt that he is still lucky to have his girlfriend supporting him to pay his credit card debt as he is having debt on loan to pay. I felt very impressed and immediately I felt a high respect on her.
My friend told me, "Anbu. Do you think that any Chinese girl would do as what she is doing if they are facing the same situation?" He questioned me such way not because he is racist, but because he is an Indian and his girlfriend is a Chinese.
I could only smile and say in my heart, "Why it should be Chinese girl. Shouldn't any girl of any race could do the same thing? I dont see any different between a Chinese and any other race. We are all human race"
My friend is a very hardworking person. I sometimes feel ashamed to compare myself with him. He is good in Public Relation, good in Marketing, good in keeping contacts, good in delivering job in time and as an Indian, he could speak Cantonese fluently. He has every qualities of a Malaysian bussinessman should have except one thing. He easily trust his friends, and that is not a good thing in bussiness. "Don't trust anybody in bussiness." That's what he should have done but it was too late for this time.
I believe that he could come back again. I have never doubted his determination and capability to be successful again, though he is having a very tough time facing what he has lost, now.
Coming back to his girlfriend. Both of them knew and been together for nine, long years. She was then a sales girl with poor English and Bahasa Malaysia command. Her SPM result too was poor plus with her parents did not support her to further study due to they felt ashamed of her. My friend, then was already making good income working as a sales person. He supported her to take up some computer courses, continued with UBS training, and went to do Accountant course and now she is doing LCCI. He even gave some money of RM8000 for her to buy a car. And now, she is living a respectful life as her parents no more feel ashamed of her.
But yesterday, she called up my friend and said that she would like to break-up with him because he is worthless. I am not making up on the word 'worthless' because this is what exactly the word she used. I do not need to further say how my friend felt about this.
Coming back to 'love life'. I don't exactly get the point why money is more important than a man's capability to be successful, for some girls? Is money is the most important thing?
You could say, money is important because of financial support. I would say I agree with you, but how worthful is money compare to the believe of a woman on a man that he could be successful? A man with a vision, a dream, and working towards it, is a successful man to be. He is not a cheap person because he is working towards his success. Falling on the way, is usual, but coming back is the most important.
If you ask me, I would want a girl that together with me on the journey to be a successful person, as I would be walking with her towards her success. I am not talking a success within 2 or 3 years. I am talking about 8 to 10 years time. I dont believe in short time success. It is not very concrete.
I read an article on the Star today. A boyfriend says this to his girlfriend,"I love you even during the days when I dont feel it so much." The girl replied, "What? You mean you dont love me on certain days?!"
The boyfriend says, "No. I do love you very much. There are times when I feel it more, like when we are both happy. feeling in love is important, but what we do and the action we take when we're upset with each other and not in the 'in love' mode is more important."
Sorry to say this but I really look down on girls that think that money is the most important.

The Roses of My Life
Shariah, Nor Hidayah, Goh Meei Ying, Liew Mei Yao, Arivaligi, Anbu Arasi, Pang Siew Lin, Pang Wen Lhi, Liu Xiu Cong, Sek Lee, Janet Ong, Desi Wilianty Ng, Emelia Satang, Clare Thong Sit May, Nicole Chai, Punitha, Chan Siew Lin, Hui Meian, Jennifer, Josephine and Elaine Lai.
You might be wondering who are these girls. Perharps, you have heard of the saying, "In every man's success, there is a woman". Well. I would not say that i have succeeded in my life, but these girls have played each and every role that gave my life some new destinies, hopes, motivations and dreams.
Arivaligi was my childhood friend. She is very pretty as her name. She was my first girl friend during my primary. Girl friend, not 'girlfriend'.
Nor Hidayah is a beautiful petite Malay girl, who became my girl buddy during my Form Five. From her I learned how not to freak-out when talking with girls during my teenage since I was in all-boys school for a long time.
Liew Mei Yao, was my classmate when i was in Form Six. Her face looks like cat's face. Since we took the same schoolbus, I sometimes drop at her stop and walk with her to my house. We were neighbours. She was my Vice-President for Science and Maths Society who later resigned because of my own incapability to lead. This infact put my self esteem down but I managed to understand and accept my failure after some years.
Pang Wen Lhi is my Gay Girl. She always seems to be happy that I felt I should call her "Gay Girl". From her I learned to smile in every situation and keep the sufferings within. It is hard though.
Liu Xiu Cong was my Maths rival for some semesters when I was at INTI college. She made learning Maths fun again since I like to compete Maths with others. She is my first China friend.
Janet Ong. I would say I had a little crush on her for sometime. Perharps because of her child-like attitude. I admire her leadership capability though her communication capability is just okay. Me and Ken Wayne used to bully her during the 10th INTIMA term.
The following people, I would prefer not to expose their names but they have played a major role in my life. Love life. Though none of them I had a relationship with, love life is a major impact in me.
My first love, a Malay girl during Form Three. I cant really see how she has changed or impacted my life, but somehow because of her I made a decision that relationship with a Malay girl is a no..no.. I think you know why.
And then, during my Form Six, I liked a Chinese girl. I call her 'Morning Glory'. Perharps if some of you notice, my mechanical pencil was always a silver Morningglory brand. I would say that my choice of career changed because of her. I chose to study Quantity Surveying so that I could make some good money and propose her one day. But at the same time, after Form Six, I thought of priesthood too. That is very weird but true.
And I did my tuition at TAR College for STPM resit. I get only 2 principles so I went to resit STPM. There in TAR College, the hottest Chinese chic in my class, infact the whole of STPM classes, had crush on me. Now, I am supprised and can't believe as well as you, but it is a fact. Throughout my studies at TAR, I pretended like I dont notice that she likes me since I was still in like with 'Morning Glory'
At INTI International University College, I liked an Indonesian girl for sometime. This was not because I fell in love with her, but because I felt pity on her and of her emotional downfall. Because I have spent sometime listening to her stories, I was able to give my ears to listen to others' stories, complains, and grumbles. I was not a person that listen to people's heartbroken stories.
And finally, my current love. I already in love with her at first sight. I never believed in 'first sight love' but it has happened on me. But I always knew that I don't deserve her. Sometimes I hope that another girl would enter in my life or perharps my heart stop falling in love anymore. Why? These names are not the full list. This list contains some of my friends, crushes and my loves only. Infact, the list of my crushes is a lot more. Person like me, should not be in a commitment but rather just have a friendship. My father named me Anbuchudar that means, 'Flame of Love'. I am really Flame of Love, perharps. Hehe.
Every girls, friends, crushes, or love, has played some roles in every little things in my life. I had never forgotten them, and I pray and hope for blessings of good life for them.

What Malays?!!
For sometimes I have been noticing that my church fellows always wrongly describe the East Malaysians. They call them Malays.
Malays?!! What Malays?!!
First of all, we in West Malaysia know three groups of people very well that we think that Malaysia is formed by these three groups of people. Simply said, UMNO, MCA and MIC. Malays, Chinese and Indians. That is why that when people from Sarawak or Sabah come to Peninsula, we call them Malays.
Like we in West, have these three races including Baba Nyonya, Portugese, Sikhs and more, they too have multi races like Bidayuh, Kadazan, Iban, Murud, Dusun, Chinese, Malays, Indians and more.
And like us, they too are Malaysians and NB: Malaysia formed when Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore joined Malaya. Malaya is the Peninsula. Malaya is not Malaysia. I keep on hearing people asking them questions like, "So. How did you find here in Malaysia?" or asking me, "So Anbu. Now you are with the Malay group is it?".
In Sabah and Sarawak, there are Malays and these people are not. We must get it right and know the cultures of Malaysians. Every year, the Government promotes Visit Malaysia campaign but we would rather choose to travel to India, China or ext. Why not we travel around Malaysia and learn others' livings and happenings?
My friends. Next time you meet the East Malaysians, don't call them Malays if they are not. Get to know their background, and you will know them well and learn something extra.
The least I can tell you is, "There are a lot to venture. Get your ass up and explore"

Our God never makes sense
When we talk about the Wonders of the world, the Pyramids, Taj Mahal, Great Wall, ext, we have the common questions, "How did they built them?". This question arises in our mind because our brain could only accept if something is logic.
Could you believe if a solid looking object that is actually hard and stiff, actually not solid? Could you believe that we with advance technology could not compete with the ancient designs and concepts? Could you believe that God made himself a man, and lived as a man and God at the same time? Could you believe that God suffered like man do though pain is nothing for Him?
Glass is a solid looking object, but infact it is not a solid. It is a liquid made hard that melts in a long period.
I could not answer the second question, but I believe somewhere there could be an answer.
The third one, is about Jesus Christ. God made Himself in a human form and born from a virgin. A divine creature should born from a holy and guarded creature. Humans are sinful creature, but in order to mingle and mix around with us, the Lord has to preserve a woman, pure, holy, innocent and immaculate from every sin. And that is Mary our Mother.
Jesus, is the human form of God Himself, left His mighty power, His authority, His rule over all creations so that He could feel the pain when He falls down, He could suffer the hunger like us, He could work and sweat like we do. My friends. He loves us so much that He wanted meet us personally, and eat together with us but we have rejected Him because His way is not so cool.
We could never agree if the President of USA wipe our shoes. We could never agree if the King is going out with us for a dinner in Mamak stall. We could never believe if a multimillionaire is buying a RM6.00 T-Shirt for his son.
God, like in the story of Prodigal son, made himself so humble. In that story, the second son asked the father to give him his share. According the Jews custom, when a son asking from a father to split the property when the father is still alive, it is like telling the father, "Go and die". Jesus tells us that we like that son, hurt our God but like the father in this story, God forgives us. And again, after the son came back, the father embraces him and celebrated a feast. Will our own father do that for us? Because God loves us so much, He humbled and put down Himself lower than us, therefore He is being judged as not a God. When we say God, Holy Fear must emerge in our hearts. Do you know that He has the authority to destroy us and we have no rights to question Him. But is that what our God is? No..
His authority on us, His love on us, His way of treating, His presence with and in us have never been making sense.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. Blessed Easter everybody

How CSS has changed me
Before I start with CSS, let me bring you to back to the second week at INTI College Malaysia, Jan 2005.
During that time, every clubs was exhibiting for new recruitment. I was then looking for these two clubs only, the Catholic Society and the Chess Club. Somehow I couldn't find them so I went to the Student Affairs to find out about these two clubs. Mr. Robert, a Kenyan SAO officer greeted me. He told me that these two clubs were dead for a long time and then he asked me, "Will you revive them?"
I was shocked since I was new in INTI and I do not know how to approach this matter. Anyway, this question had been running in my head for sometime and I eventually posted in INTIonline forum about forming the Catholic Society and the Chess Club.
The responds for the Chess Clubs were great, so I focused on reviving the Chess Club. At April 2005, the Chess Club was formed and I became the Vice Chairperson. At the time I took over the Chairperson post from Koh Wei Bing for the next term, I put in effort to make variety of activities. I went closer with relationship with 10th INTIMA and I was able to get a lot of chances and opportunities to make use for the progress of my club. I had a vision, a dream for the club. During the 9th INTIMA Award Presentation and 10th INTIMA Installation event, the Mind Games Club won the Best Indoor Club award and AUP Club won the Best New/Revived Club. So my target is to beat them both for the next term. Finally the Chess Challenge Club, name changed during my term, won the Best Indoor Club beating the Mind Games Club and the Most Progressive Club beating the AUP Club and other new/revived clubs. Though a big achievement for the club, I was not happy with the way I won them. Jing Hua took over the club for the 11th INTIMA term.
During 11th INTIMA I was not involved in any club and the Catholic Society also yet to be revived. During this long break, I managed to humble myself from title glory. Somewhere at the end of 11th INTIMA term, I posted again at INTIonline to form the Catholic Society. The first meeting, Alicia, Leo and Justin Lim responded. From there, I tried again and more people joined to form CSS. For me every first batch of the seniors became my very wonderful friends. I was very happy to meet them every moment in college. Together we have organised events, had fun, shared jokes, ate out, and did more to be a family. But somehow, this bond did not remain forever. I believe I was the cause of this sudden collapse of the CSS. I was already wanted to resign and prepared my resignation letter since the seniors started to leave CSS. There were many days that I cried for my failure to bring them back. I had to make so many sacrifices to secure this club from dying, and more hurting was to see my friends support me by sacrificing their time and studies. But the Lord is so merciful that He blessed the CSS to survive and gave me the courage to continue to lead.
The end of 12th INTIMA term was coming, I and Sarah, the Vice Chairperson, decided to appoint Gerard Wong to take over from me. We knew that Gerard will go through more challenges. We knew he will be suffering but we know that Gerard is the right person to take over the club. Though I do not see it, I know that Gerard probably also not happy with his performance as a Chairperson. This will continue to the next person and so on. The work should not be accomplished so that the journey can be continued.
Somehow, during the 12th INTIMA Award Presentation and 13th INTIMA Installation night, I was very very happy. Although, I did not accomplish my vision for the CSS, I am going to miss the CSS, my friends, the whole INTI and it's life, I was happy to hand over the CSS to Gerard. I felt happy that there was a continuation for CSS. We, the 12th INTIMA Catholic Students Society, are the pioneers the club and the 13th INTIMA Catholic Students Society is successfully growing it. And to make it a firm society, it will take many more years to come. We have created the path, and it was good. The current CSS, you too have continued to make the path longer, and one day everyone of us, the members of INTI-UC CSS, will have a great story to tell of our journey on this path.

I believe I was the cause of this sudden collapse of the CSS. I was already wanted to resign and prepared my resignation letter since the seniors started to leave CSS. There were many days that I cried for my failure to bring them back. I had to make so many sacrifices to secure this club from dying, and more hurting was to see my friends support me by sacrificing their time and studies. But the Lord is so merciful that He blessed the CSS to survive and gave me the courage to continue to lead.
The end of 12th INTIMA term was coming, I and Sarah, the Vice Chairperson, decided to appoint Gerard Wong to take over from me. We knew that Gerard will go through more challenges. We knew he will be suffering but we know that Gerard is the right person to take over the club. Though I do not see it, I know that Gerard probably also not happy with his performance as a Chairperson. This will continue to the next person and so on. The work should not be accomplished so that the journey can be continued.
Somehow, during the 12th INTIMA Award Presentation and 13th INTIMA Installation night, I was very very happy. Although, I did not accomplish my vision for the CSS, I am going to miss the CSS, my friends, the whole INTI and it's life, I was happy to hand over the CSS to Gerard. I felt happy that there was a continuation for CSS. We, the 12th INTIMA Catholic Students Society, are the pioneers the club and the 13th INTIMA Catholic Students Society is successfully growing it. And to make it a firm society, it will take many more years to come. We have created the path, and it was good. The current CSS, you too have continued to make the path longer, and one day everyone of us, the members of INTI-UC CSS, will have a great story to tell of our journey on this path.
