            <title>My mental Mindset</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1402625</link>
            <description>Hi to all,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I couldn&amp;#39;t take it anymore after my first ex-gf. My mental mindset are targetting older prays now in the target of 27 - 35 and I am only 23 this year being a man, I can tell you most of them like me. I couldn&amp;#39;t stand the love games, the feeling of being hurt again, loving a person so much that every late at night I cried myself out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But once I gotten them myself, I played them back. Am wondering what am I doing? If I&amp;#39;m a person who doesn&amp;#39;t like the love games, but still doing it? Am I doing the revenge? They&amp;#39;re the easier pray? No love game is involved... yet I manipulate myself through the honesty with them.</description>

            <title>HelpDesk Position</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1368784</link>
            <description>Hi there and to everyone,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is my dilemma, I am currently being offered by these two companies one is local company and another one is MNC company which is the IBM. &lt;br /&gt;Both are offering quite a good attractive salary considering myself being a Diploma Holder with undergraduated Degree. Why I like helpesk? I see my future in it as I liked it very much. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, to make the story short... Local company is offering a salary of 2K basic with permanent position while the IBM is offering basic 2.3K with contractual position of a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I need to know is that, does the contractual position actually can be renewable since it&amp;#39;s under Manpower agency ... do they actually does any renewable contract? Since they told me they will according to my perfomance... but is this true or just a marketing gimmick? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to be in the IBM for as long as I can until my position is promoted and my true goal is to get up in the ladder... as far as I can see... the permanent position is holding my future. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Local Company&lt;br /&gt;2K Salary&lt;br /&gt;Permanent Position&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IBM&lt;br /&gt;2.3k Salary&lt;br /&gt;Contractual Position &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So please answer this naiveness of my working experience and questions. Thank you.</description>

            <title>Police Force</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1171287</link>
            <description>Hello to all,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been thinking long and hard, what is the prospect in this job? Accordingly to my mission, where I have the opportunity to go into US with a green card and becoming a valid citizenship there, but with a few more years ahead to go, by then I will have my degree completed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s an IT degree, which by then I have completed with a result of 2nd upper class, if it went accordingly to my plan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to complete the degree by next year and really wanted to join into the PDRM in malaysia, with some information searched, with a Degree I can be an inspektor, I am not quite sure about the requirement, my Height are around 5&amp;#39;7&amp;#39;, wearing spectacles with an eyesight of 200/150, my body status is none of problem, I have always tried to keep myself fit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This is the first question.&lt;br /&gt;1. What is requirement?&lt;br /&gt;2. How to join?&lt;br /&gt;3. What is the prospect? As in salary.&lt;br /&gt;4. What is the training/ probation period for this?&lt;br /&gt;5. Fill anything else in?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&amp;#39;s say, I got my green card, and I quit the job in malaysia, went to US, as in this, I did some necessary researched, I can join into the US Police Force of Texas state, 4 years of the service, where I can finnally get into something I really wanted to try and experience first hand, as being a SWAT, and the opportunity of going there, why 4 years? As a regard to the US rules of POLICE DEPARTMENT, there is a certain requirement rules of servicing years, depending on each of the state is differ, where texas is exactly just being said, 4 years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It suddenly came to me of this idea, to tell a short story, where I&amp;#39;ve worked in a local company with my diploma, and don&amp;#39;t mind me saying this, it really bores me to hell sitting in an office from morning till evening and repeating the process.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Second question.&lt;br /&gt;1. Let&amp;#39;s say I got into the SWAT, I work for few years, before my 40&amp;#39;s I plan to come back Malaysia will it work?&lt;br /&gt;2. Does malaysia allow Dual Passport? or Dual citizenship?&lt;br /&gt;3. If my citizenship is revoked, what I need to do in getting it back? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>Psychology Mentality on Love</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1084701</link>
            <description>Hi to all, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pardon my absoluteness naive thinking. Since I&amp;#39;ve been raised with a single mother with no dad on hand, my mind was my own world, throughout my growth year, I never had any friends that is really close, I wasn&amp;#39;t and didn&amp;#39;t understand the importance of playing the game of rules from friends and till recently relationship. I grow with movies that I adore so much, such as the Lion King, Hercules, Superman one of the few examples. I was a one man army from young till I joined in diploma where I found this new culture, where everything wasn&amp;#39;t as nice as it seems. Of course what I needed wasn&amp;#39;t the &amp;quot;I am important&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Look at me&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I need friends&amp;quot; everything of that wasn&amp;#39;t on my mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learnt throughout this few years of mine, very quickly to cope up what I had lost, to cope up what I need to learn in order to survive, to cope up in order to get what I want in this world. I wasn&amp;#39;t determine on giving up or losing in this battle, I learnt so quickly that my heart almost all of the time is full of dissapointment, anger, sad, hatred.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can people can be that full of selfishness and stepping on your head? In order to survive in this hierachy of misery life? Where you do everything in order to survive? The importance of boosting up everything, most importantly twisting the words here and there. Words words and words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently I was in this relationship, everything for me was something entirely new. I raised up my own standards, and did everything needed and so I got her automatically she came at me. What I saw is entire different world, humans was the most selfish I&amp;#39;ve seen. Even one of my lecturer are hitting on one of my classmates(she told me). So does this &amp;quot;What I want?&amp;quot; go over the boundary of a so called &amp;quot;Human morality&amp;quot; go on to &amp;quot;Selfishness&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also I&amp;#39;ve done so much research on reading books on how to be a player, or gettng information on how to become a player over the net. I meant it, after reading it, it&amp;#39;s much of very much bullshiet but if you have some mind thinking throughly isn&amp;#39;t it called &amp;quot;Selfishness&amp;quot; of yourself. All you want is only what you want. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The basic concept is the same, especially from friends to relationship. I could understand the basic game play, but couldn&amp;#39;t make it, it is just against what I stand for entire of my life, these few principal I hold on to so tightly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where is our heart is in actually? Feeling  of the temporary for fun? Or the long term ones?</description>

            <description>Hello to everyone here, considering myself a very senior lowyat lurker starting from 2003 till now, just with not so much hand in post to brag about. I&amp;#39;m not good looking, but at some point I can look like a nigger rappers coming out of the gangstreet if dressed up properly but only in night, so it&amp;#39;s not actually my look that I am worried, nowadays it&amp;#39;s all about the affectionate talking, how do you dressed up yourself appropiately,  how bad do you want her, and what will you do to get her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My problem is how do I get to her? what do I do? I&amp;#39;ve been thinking about that for a year, we&amp;#39;re still contacting, she knows I like her, but I&amp;#39;m not an affectionate talker, my talk hangs out, I don&amp;#39;t like small talks, I&amp;#39;m pretty slow on responding back(not that I&amp;#39;m slow, I&amp;#39;m just slow on what to reply). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Problem probaly start with how people treated me when I was small, and how  having a widow mum effecting it. My face look like a real naive boy coming out of nowhere, but I&amp;#39;ve been there and done that everything all on my own. Solo, wherever I go, whenever I go, cause I just can&amp;#39;t get mix up. F U C K. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teenage years was a ughh and ahhh and lots of crying, no friends, no whatsoever, nobody, spm failed, weight 75kg with 30% fat, college years I&amp;#39;ve realize I need to change, CGPA 3.4, getting thin up till about 50kg, after college I realized I need to quicken up my own standard higher, I build up body and tried to groom better like those peeps in soap drama opera you watch in astro 3pm, my knowledge before college was nearly 0% of the entire malaysian knowledge, I know nuts about nothing not even Ikan gambong, so fine I try to absorb more and quickly, now to think about, I learnt all the basic knowledge in 3 years, I&amp;#39;m 21 now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m quiet, I don&amp;#39;t hangs out with the cool guys, with the nerd guys, with anyone, cause I&amp;#39;m just so god dam quiet. &lt;br /&gt;I got few tattoos, and few piercing on my cartiliage ears, my face are full of pick ice acne scars, but I got over it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I&amp;#39;m just so god dam quiet, when I talk, people think I know nuts, when I talk too much they just get bored of theirself, I like travelling so here is one of the conversations &amp;quot;Travelling is alot of fun, to watch the debris that was left by homo sapiens&amp;quot; haha yea, I know I try to beat that with the other dude talking about his stuff and thinks he knows it all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can&amp;#39;t make jokes, &lt;br /&gt;My tone are really high, &lt;br /&gt;My face looks serious, (weird serious or naive) blah &lt;br /&gt;I got a very high sense of egomaniac, (I can&amp;#39;t stand people telling me what to do, usually I observe and learn from the back very quickly)&lt;br /&gt;My mood changes very quickly&lt;br /&gt;I beat myself up for failling over something or not getting something that I want and then get depressed, &amp;quot;WHY THE F U C K I can&amp;#39;t if someone else can&amp;quot;, this sentence keep rolling over and over in my head. &lt;br /&gt;I can get very seriously crazy. &lt;br /&gt;I like outdoor adrenaline. &lt;br /&gt;My anxiety can get very high at a point&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like bodybuilding,&lt;br /&gt;I like swimming,&lt;br /&gt;I like bicyling,&lt;br /&gt;I like playing guitar,&lt;br /&gt;I like playing the online game,&lt;br /&gt;I like reading novels,&lt;br /&gt;Good sense of movies, drama, something like grey&amp;#39;s anatomy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From a nerdy and naive looking guy, I learnt some streetsmarts tips over the year, working in Celcom after graduation, then I&amp;#39;m in Langkawi right now, mostly people that don&amp;#39;t know me thinks I don&amp;#39;t know what I want, well I came to langkawi because I want to cope up with the streetsmart, can&amp;#39;t beat em might as well join em huh? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Firstly I don&amp;#39;t know how to make my point, I don&amp;#39;t know how to talk, I don&amp;#39;t know how to make people believed in me, I don&amp;#39;t know how to speak up properly, I don&amp;#39;t know how to talk affectionate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This girl I&amp;#39;m wooing, yea she&amp;#39;s pretty, of course,I raised up my own standard one of the reason is her, she has a bf, but she&amp;#39;s considering, I can tell, but whenever I talk, I would ask how? what? with all the askings, or advices, thats how you talk when all you get in teenage years is getting advices here and there with no real conversations at all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So guys or girls, please teach me to be more affection in the way I talk.</description>

            <description>Basically you travel as you work. I can&amp;#39;t stand being confined in a place for months, going through the same old road everyday. It&amp;#39;s like I&amp;#39;m being trapped in a huge cage&amp;#33; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What kind of job is there for this? I don&amp;#39;t mind the salary, even RM500 I&amp;#39;ll work&amp;#33; As long travelling expenses/petrol/transport are all covered up&amp;#33; Working for WHO? Are they hiring someone with no medical background, heard they send ppl to places where help is needed, recently in CHINA. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
