Random feeling.

I will just simple bypass the part that I'm gonna apologize for letting the blog rotting <-- like this.

Well first of all, I think I'm going to mention some negative stuffs again.

Probably not the first few paragraph, as I may like to give you guys a sit-rep (situation report) of what on Earth I'm up to.









Well I might have to introduce myself first.

My name is Ethan, Pang as surname.
Born in 1991, 18 going to 19.
Single (always)
My friends used to call me Eaten, as I can't pronounce my name very precisely in the very first place. And in fact they do ask me question like this : "Ethan have you Eaten?" whenever they meet me, which is kind of.........frustrating (sorry guys! no offense!)

Doing Bachelor of Science in Zoology, which most of the Asian won't do that since it doesn't make enough money for them.
Oh by the way I'm doing that University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.

Nationality : Malaysian
Ethnicity : 100% Chinese
And I'm kind of nationalist, in other words, patriotic. So political issues back in Malaysia are always my concern.
Mandarin is always my first language, but my accent is so........hilarious, which most of the West-Malaysian talk like this (sorry for the guys from the East, but you don't really talk like we do! wehehe)
In fact, I do speak English and Malays, but please, don't expect I can speak as well as some of the people who grew up with English education (I tried to substitute the word "banana" very hard, and still English is not my first language). Speaking English for me is just like you speak Mandarin. <-- Sorry I admit I shoot a lot of people in this paragraph. Please forgive me because I come here to learn, not for being laugh by you guys. wahaha

Religion : Christianity -- Protestant
Grew up as a Presbyterian, now involve in Pentecostal, or Charismatic church, which conservative Presbyterians will probably ban it.
Anyway, Jesus Love You



Characteristic : I might have to write a few paragraph though

Let's imagine a normal distribution curve. I'm the one who is classified, or grouped if you like, into the tail parts of the curve (sorry I'm doing statistic this year), which mean, I may not be like those usual people you came across, or, I'm really unusual.(weird?)

Talk about my course that I'm doing currently -- zoology.
Somebody deliberately define that Asian should do health science or business as well as law, which makes a lot of money and they can enjoy heaps, materially. However I'm doing neither of them. So people will think that "Will that makes money?"

Well sometimes I really have to comment about it though. I don't understand why people always wanted to do those career that I mentioned above. Yes some of them is really committed and ambitious which I'm happy and agree with it. But some of them say : "Asians should do these", "Makes money, money is everything", "I don't what to do" and the worst thing is "My parent wants me to do that, family background is based on this career", etc.

Erm, I'll try not to hurt somebodies' feeling, hopefully. (apologize in advance, no offense)

In my opinion, I will ask : who on Earth said that Asians (especially Chineses) should do these or you are not Asians (Chineses)? If you have to do doctors, businessman/woman or lawyer just because you are a Asians (Chinese), then what if you are not? Is that means you don't need to do if you are not Asians (Chinese).
If that's comes from family pressure, then ask yourself (or you parent): Is it your own career/future, or theirs? For me parent can only be a consultant or adviser at some stage of you age/life. When come across the decision-making stuffs, do nice talk to them. You are not your parent's tool, even though you have to be obedient (well obedient doesn't means you need to be a tool, or that is fake) to your parent.

Oh come on, genetic variation really works though. Don't expect all the people you come across will be the same. Extremity does exist, just like there is no perfection/uniform cases in medication. People always have different properties which make them unique.

As a christian I will say : God has a great plan for you, which makes you so unique and massive to glorify his name. But still, you may not have to be a doctor/businessman or woman/lawyer, or the world will just so restricted. And sometimes, do follow your heart, ask yourself what are you really interested in, even a certain instinct is deeply planted in you since you are young.
Or, ask God, the almighty Lord.

Ok come back to me. I don't look into the money so much. Although I (we) need it, I still won't set the money as my priority, by sacrificing everything I have. I don't like to spend too much time just for money (not animal either), but friends, partner (again, I'm still single), family, and most importantly, God. There is too much thing better than money that you won't bought it in the supermarket with your dollars. Plus, accumulating treasure in the heaven is a goal for every christian, rather than making huge amount of money, which will rot, and can't bring along with you after you died.

I do like animals. I feel so amazed by them, especially their behaviors. I lost my defend and just want to get close to it to know more about it. They are creation of God which is so special, which I can't help myself to cover up my instinct. Even though the hedgehog is very thorny, I did carry it into my room, take some photos, and have a play with it. Hurting my hand is just doesn't matter (as long as I'm still in one piece).

OK chop chop. Let's move on.
You probably can kind of understand my characteristic from the last few paragraphs (and you probably thinking I'm really........weird? haha. unusual?)




Well I changes my mind again. I think this blog is too long for my precious readers. Let's call it a day.




p/s: Where do we up to? My career and stuffs right? Well I may continue this blog by talking about.......my politically view perhaps?

  1. Hi my old friend,

    Well, enjoy reading your "introduction" & "thoughts" . I do agreed that parents are consultants of their children. More than that, they are the shelter, guilder, mentor, motivator & ........... to their children for whole life long.

    As I mentioned to all of you, as parents who has gone through certain experiences in life cycle, it is our responsible to give you suggestions, guideline, indicating to you the path that we think is the suitable way, but the decision is yours. You need to choose (with the wisdom from the Almighty Father) by yourself what is your most interest. Another word, you have to decide (with a lot of prayers) your own destiny.

    But whatever it is , you can be assured that I'll give you my FULL support in whichever path you have decided with the wisdom from our Almighty Father.
