Merdeka eve

2007-09-29T01:47:00.000+08:00

This was supposed to be posted up on the National Day but delayed delayed delayed and one month later, I am too lazy to try to describe what happened so photos are good to say a million words.

Flowers blooming in the night sky

Nice reddish fire, notice the little glowing worms.

Looked like lightning struck the fireworks at the same time

We were at The Curve on the eve of National Day to join in the crowd for countdown, but unfortunately, there wasn't any countdown due to bad time management on the event hostess' part. So we were greeted by the fireworks unaware, but it was amazing, took lots of videos of the beautiful fireworks, certainly one of the longest lasting firework session I've watched so far.

Diane and I

Before the curve we were at Midvalley, met up with Diane there then Pmay then PyanTLoon. Had dinner at Kimgary (ah lian must eat HongKong food ma). Soon, there were just the 3 of us, diane, pyan and I hanging out at Ikano, shopping. That's where we met Venez and her friends shopping as well, and Xinch and her friends shopping too. National Day had officially become a shopping frenzy for us all.

A good time spent, apart from all the jam, reached home ard 3am.

Slow-moving pekan

So I woke up late and called in sick yesterday. After apologising profusely to the store manager for pulling out on such a short notice, I was on my way to Kajang. Decided on a visit to Diane's lovely shelter located at a slow and steady town full of very very laidback residents.

So here I am, 10.30am now and still in Kajang.

Freezing!

2007-08-23T12:41:00.000+08:00

IT'S FREAKING COLD IN THE OFFICE! FREEZING......stop the rainy weather, pleaseeeeee.

Bored, Hungry, Sleepy

2007-08-21T17:26:00.000+08:00

I'm being a brat, there's nothing interesting to do (no important work at all to be exact), beginning to feel hungry, and I could do with some sleep now. Today has been the day with the least job almost null, apart from shredding papers, and having no work does not equal to joy, it's plain boring. since 9.30am this morning, I've been sitting at my desk, listening to songs and chatting while surfing blogs. it's okie that I'm unproductive but it's even more tiring than having some extra work to do. Feel lost on the Internet, reading celeb sites, gossips, blogs and visiting facebook.

it's freaking cold as well, and i believe Pmay is experiencing the same or maybe lower temperature there at her office. HAHA. okay i know. I'm so mo liu. Shall stop complaining. and spend the next 30minutes here quietly. Must appreciate my time here, eventhough it's ridiculously boring and time-wasting, for THIS is my last week, another 3 days before i officially leave the building. They better prepare a nice sweet testimonial for me!

Fab Saturday

2007-08-19T21:57:00.000+08:00

Last weekend, I'd decided to return to Penang to meet up with friends who are back. So after work, I'd to rush to Pudu to board a bus but little did i know that it was that difficult to get a bus ticket home on Fridays. Pudu was crowded with ppl eager to rush back to their hometown. Konsortium had obviously sold all their available tickets, and that's like the only bus i take usually. So i had no choice but to settle for an almost unknown bus, risky but i just wanna get home. From the promised time 7.30pm, the bus only appeared at ard 9pm. It was insane and not to mention the bus was creepy, in a mess with torn curtains and faulty seats. Argh barely moved in the bus, no more next time. Anyway i reached penang at 2am, the latest i've ever arrived in a bus.

Did not even have the chance to talk to mom until the next night, when she returned from work. I think this trip back, i saw my friends longer than her. My father was in a great mood, hehe bought me lots of fruits because i complained of constipation. My sister treated me like a princess, washed my clothes, swept and cleaned my room. Such a nice family i have. haha.

Had a nice outing on Saturday, met up wid Diane, Jade, Adel, Eileen and also Winnie. They were all still as insane as years back, especially Jade and Eileen. Those two just can't stop stepping on each other's tail. We made noise in Wong Kok like we owned it, ordering again and again, one small dish after another, a little memalukan saja.

Someone said we look like sisters......... o.O

Recognize the glutton?

beeZie beeZie week

2007-08-01T09:29:00.000+08:00

Looking like a mess at work now. Woke up late this morning, still looking very sleepy like i've just gotten out of bed. luckily nobody really cares at work cos most of them look as though they haven't slept for an entire week anyway.

This week have been and going to be a busy one. There's a line-up of events for the entire week at Mxs.

First, we had the Opening Ceremony of the new Mxs learning centre, then on the same night, there's the CEO's farewell party, and then for 3 days straight, our team is gonna give out career talks to internal staff. But.....

Yesterday was the best day among all the days I've worked here. Really great! Had a fantastic time due to several reasons. Not gonna elaborate until later posts. :p

2007-07-31T22:19:00.000+08:00

The OC of Mxs Academy is finally here, 31st July 2007 at Plaza Sentral. All the preparation and hardwork finally paid off for everyone in the HR Division. It marked another good day for me, even 10times better than any other day at Mxs. Firstly, was given an F1 shirt which totally was irrelevant to the entire concept in my opinion but after learning the cost of the shirt due to the many embroidered logos on the sleeves, Mxs is definitely treating its staff like royalties.

Started off by having breakfast at Mcds KL Sentral with S and V. After that we headed straight to Level 3 to set up our booth and got ready to present the portal whenever guests visit (ours was the first stop of the floor). After the VIPs finally arrived and launched the academy (being VIPs, punctuality does not matter much) and were invited to enjoy their lunch in the VIP room (fine dining style).

While, the usual committee (moi included), had to have our lunch at the cafeteria area, food was not too bad actually. Then we were quite done for the day at Sentral. Packed our bags and booklets and we were ready to leave just before the VIPs depart. So being gracious hosts like we were, we waited for all of them to make their way through the exit and escalators first. However, our patience was repaid by crazily excellent food from Hilton!

Those kids from Cyberlinq actually got to dine in the VIP room, served with FRESH OYSTERS, LAMB SHANK, QUALITY ICECREAM, CREME BRULEE, DESSERT all types of mini cakes, FRESH OYSTERS, CHEESE CAKE, CHOC FUDGE CAKE, did i mention FRESH OYSTERS? Sorry but i only remember wht dessert they served cos i wasnot aiming for the main course, was too full from the previous meal.

So who can or will waste the chance of having fresh oysters away? Maybe some, but certainly not the HR team. Most of us were helping ourselves to the oysters while the waiters kept returning to refill the tray. really funny. A friend had 17 of them, insane! Zinc overload! and probably will be too 'active' at nite (aphrodisiac).

After that full meal, we were happily and contentedly leaving the centre in a big group to be back at Menara Mxs. To continue with some work unfortunately...AND also attend the Dato's farewell.

:) :) :)

2007-07-24T09:01:00.000+08:00

A friend is back in penang! couldn't believe it for i didn't expect her to be back so soon. She's just gonna be here temporarily so now i'm considering returning to penang one fine weekend. Need time!

Life has been quite hectic since i started this internship, but it's a good feeling though. Not the kind of stress you get during examination period, this one is way better (I'm not feeling the working stress, yet). No reading into late nights required. About a month more to go, and certainly I would have learned a lot by then, not just procedures and paperwork but the corporate world and working ethics........and also how you can still make loads of money being unproductive.

Bad news for ML

2007-07-20T22:28:00.000+08:00

Baboon called while i was on my way to the elevator at my apartment block, just to say 'hi' she said. Ok. One hour later, walked into my room, checked my handphone and saw missed calls and an sms. Anne wanted to treat all of us to a meal at TGIF. WHAT? I was actually thinking no way she's so nice, i mean for all of us? No matter how nice you are, you won't treat 10people to a dinner at TGI Friday's! Suspected something wasn't right. After thinking for sometime, i decided to rush there (reason being out of curiosity, not becos i 'tam chiak' lah), although i was quite hungry i have to admit.

In the bus, i kept messaging Baboon to tell me the real purpose for the gathering. Finally she gave in and said Anne won't be wid ML anymore. WTH? ML's hers what?!? When i reach, it was awkward, everyone was quiet, it's not right, ML ppl were seldom quiet. Taking the right opportunity, i asked Rno about it and he told me someone else had bought over ML from AnneRajan cos the family will be moving to Doha.

Anne will no longer be our dear boss starting fr Aug, it's really a sad event cos she had been the best boss i've worked with. Have you ever seen any boss who would actually mop or sweep the floor together with his/her staff? Well, Anne is this humble. She treats all her staff just like her friends, bringing us to each others' open houses during festive occasions.

This is definitely gonna be a big loss to ML staffs, for losing such nice bosses [Anne, Rajan, Chloe, Ciara & Auntie Kim "All the best "]

Lrt :(

2007-07-19T13:26:00.000+08:00

Travelling by the LRT daily is actually not too bad on its own, the most critical and disgusting thing is taking it together with people who freak you out. Not in a scary way, but close.

This morning, I had the fortune of standing beside this lady dressed in checkers shirt and striped skirt. Apart from the not-so-nice dressing sense, she seemed normal.................................until she started flicking something off her finger and thumb. Curious as I was, i looked. F*ck, it was residue from her facial skin. I did not try to figure out exactly what it was but i definitely wouldn't wanna know. Worst thing of all was that i HAD to stand jus right next to her cos the train was sardine-packed. She seemed as though she was squeezing her zits or something, rubbing some dead skin cells away, and scratching a red spot around her chin. and every minute she did that, she threw the residue into thin air. WHERE DID THOSE THINGS LANDED???? I have no idea, shit pray that none of it is with me right now. This lasted for half an hour, the whole god-damn ride in the train, she was repeating the same action while she looked up and 'jeling' once in a while. Damn it, dun jeling ppl when u are f'cking disgusting that others can't help but to hold their puke back.

I even tried holding my breath but obviously it didn't work for long. Imagine inhaling all her skin cells! if i ever contract cancer one day, i'll know how i got it.

movie and ah-lian's stay-over

2007-07-13T23:49:00.000+08:00

on Friday evening, finally watched Transformers! WOOHOOWOW! great movie! everyone should watch it even if you are not into action flicks. Shall recommend this to my dad, it'll probably be one of the few few few movies that he would not fall asleep halfway watching. Still, i must get the DVD cos i actually missed the first 30minutes into the movie. WhY?? because of work. didn't expect to finish so late....such is working life.

After the movie, met up wid Diane Lian Wong, yes Lian is her middle name. had dinner at the foodcourt with her and Cming. Two of them just met and for the first time since dunno how long ago, i haven't seen any one of them being so polite. well, not to me anyways. Then after dinner, we head back to KJ and waited for the damn bus for 1 full hour, even though the bus was parked just right there, it wouldnt budge.

so by the time we reached home, it's already quite late and I was dead tired. so went to bed early, cos i HAD to attend a children's workshop in the morning. zzZzzZ

9 - 6 job

2007-07-13T08:42:00.000+08:00

9th July 2007, I've officially started working a full-time office work. Never thought this day would come so soon when my housemates and I actually sat down after work and the topic of our conversation was work! Oh, it's great that all 3 of us got industrial training, hmm guess there will be more work-related discussions at home lah. We were exchanging comments/views/info about both our jobs...woh how grown up have we become? It's weird, we are becoming working freaks. Hehe, I'm exaggerating of cos. I actually felt kinda 'small' in the office surrounded by so many other more mature people, I feel like a kid again among adults. I know i'm old enough to be categorised as an adult but it's amazing how knowledgeable these people can be, with years and years of experience of the corporate world. One can never learn enough.

First day was a bit scary because i did not know what to expect, saw and got introduced to so many new faces i think i've forgotten most of their names, lousy memory mar. And today, it's the fifth day which concludes the entire first week of my internship. So I'll still have 6 more weeks to go.

Even though, I felt too young in there, it's fascinating how much i got to learn from them, how much that i would not be able to learn from just studying in uni for there is no realism to what they teach you in school. Everything is different in the outside world, scores and grades aren't everything but they do get you to where you want to be, anyway to stay and remain there, it's definitely a different story.

Reviving memories

2007-07-11T21:27:00.000+08:00

14th July 2007 will be the day i witness my childhood idols, Michael Learns To Rock! Well, even though they may not be as charming and young as long long time ago, at least this once in my lifetime i get to watch their live performance, it is a childhood dream come true.

Still remember quite vividly how my sister and I would their cassette over and over again, (ya la that time was ages ago so we only used cassettes). I was only 11 years old and now 10 years later, i'm gonna haf a chance to watch their concert in Genting! haha, my sis will be so jealous i think she's gonna slap me when i brag to her next time.

Looking forward to their great songs on Saturday and also the aircond-like weather in Genting! Pray for no bright sun dat day. :P

Need more time at home

2007-06-30T02:06:00.000+08:00

Yes it means I'm back in Penang for my study break, but what was i doing the past 8 days here? finished 2 chapters out of 14 chapters and had been going out nearly every day since the day i came back. I just cant say no to outings with frens. How often do i get to see them in one whole year? some only once, so how can i miss this opportunity rite? self-rationalization, i know. It's just so fun hanging out with high school mates, even if we just crap and talk nonsense most of the time, it was good crap. Since we left high school, I've kept in touch with those whom i really treasure and I'm really glad after 3 to 4 years, our friendship has been going pretty strong.

Every time we go out, it was nothing but fun. and now it's quite depressing to think about going back to KL on Monday. 2 and a half more days here and I'll be back to my other lifestyle there, my reluctance is a result of not knowing when i'll be back here again, not anytime soon till end of the year perhaps. Summore Jade is already in Pg and Lyn is coming back pretty soon too! I can only dream that i'll be free these few months.

On an unrelated note, good news! I am officially selected by Maxis as an intern, starting the week after finals. This is gonna be such a valuable experience, i just know it.

I'll end with a picture of my HaPPiE face.

Missing .....

2007-06-11T11:17:00.000+08:00

Hah, looking at the title, you must be thinking i'll spill who i'm missing or who's missing me.... blekk never! I missed Winnee's lecture now, decided not to go at 7am when my head was throbbing like a ticking time bomb was buried in it. haf a feeling it's jus pms, every 2 months i'll haf this kind of headaches. well, guess it's better than stomach cramps.....touch wood!

A new staff came in that day, hoho so glad dis one is not one of those naive and i'm-above-everything kind of kids. At least he is mature enough and doesn't crack cold jokes then laugh about it. Maybe i just haf a bad sense of humour cos i really can't get jokes that some of them make at times, they can laugh so hard about it, and the word 'silly' just pops up in my mind. I too sometimes behave like a kid, but their childishness is way beyond mine, so most of the time to be polite and not hurt their self-esteem, i'll jus smile, feeling forced inside. Okay, i know what i'm saying here is really mean, i admit. So if anyone who's reading can't take it, please boycott my site, thanks.

Such luck

2007-05-29T20:42:00.000+08:00

As usual, due to my 8am class, i'll wake up at 6 to catch the 7.15 bus to the station, the bus came on time and i thought today must be a good one since i will be reaching class on time too. Got into the train and that's when i was proven wrong. At Tmn Paramount, the train stopped for 20 minutes, with the doors wide opened, nobody knows the reason for the disruption. One lady smartly pointed out that this is how Putraline earns, by waiting till the train is filled up before proceeding to save cost. Well, erm....... .. ...wht an idea. Then again at Tmn Jaya, it stopped for 15 minutes, and then at Kerinchi/Universiti, stopped again. By the time i reached Bangsar, it was 8.45am. I'd spent an hour stuck inside the train, squeezed to the corner by this inconsiderate man who was trying to make himself comfortable. Hell, no one in that train was feeling good. Can u imagine early in the morning stuck in the lrt and stood for like an hour holding heavy textbooks with an aching back and legs? Torture! and i wonder how some ppl can sleep unmovingly standing.

Anyway, when i reached, the lecturer was halfway teaching so i did not interrupt as she made it clear she hated that so again i waited. Her mood wasn't so good as well, pulled such a long face when she talked to us and then at 12.30 she stomped out of class claiming that we did not show a willingness to learn and she wouldn't bother to make things easy for us in our finals. What was that? menopausal symptoms perhaps. Firstly, she said she will only discuss the answers next week but then she proceeded with them anyway. Secondly, due to that, none of us were prepared to answer hence the passiveness. Thirdly, it was already 12.30pm, class was supposed to end anyway. Simply do not understand her ridiculous demand. After she left the room with such anger, every one just turned to each other and laughed. kinda funny ok.

The freaking cold lecture room left me feeling cold the entire day, even with my sweater on. If i was already so cold, people with lower fat percentage in their bodies must be frozen by then.

Don't read this

"I have been tagged and to continue the honour of this game, I have to tag six people which can be found at the bottom of my list. The rules are as follows: Each person who gets tagged needs to write a blog post of their own 6 idiosyncrasies (abnormal behaviour, habits etc.) as well as clearly stating this rule. After you state your 6 weirdness you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their multiply id / blog names / nicknames at the bottom of your blog. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says "You’re tagged" in their comments and tell them to read your blog for information as to what it means."

1. I like to be neat at most times if i can help it. I am very very disgusted with dirt/moss/stains. Will shiver with fear but will still be able to clean it up because i can't stand it even more if it stays. Suspected by housemate to have OCPD (not gonna elaborate more here), but ya... do not trust the 'housemate'.

2. I am one of the few people in the world who thinks that doing anything harsh to my own hair is a no-no. These include dying, straightening, rebonding, highlighting, perming or anything with strong chemical should not go near my hair. Always have a fear that one day my hair will lose its volume and turn gray or dry and frizzy. I've no idea why i care about my hair so much but yes i do. One will always, always see me touching my hair once in a while, combing, patting, playing, etc.

3. Something i did 3 weeks ago = finished 3 whole drama series in a week. One series consisting of about 20 episodes.

4. I'm weird to think that i'm not weird.

5. I dislike people who do not take care of my books after they borrow them. I try to maintain the condition of my books as new as possible, hate seeing dog-ears, creases, stains or any sign of newly-added marks on them. Will remember my damaged book in Form 1 forever, poor poor novel.

6. Recently, i keep reminding myself that i'm broke in hopes that i will not spend much to budget my allowance. So you will constantly find phrases like, 'no money la, i'm broke, really can't afford, die lar how to survive' if you happen to be talking to me. It's useful but has become irritating to myself.

Tagging (most ppl have been tagged anyways)>>
any 6 people who wanna do this with the nicknames of Loser, Bored-Bitch, Rabbit, Dog, Tiger, Meme-lover. " You're tagged"

2007-05-19T01:47:00.000+08:00

Guess what? I'm gonna work long-term part time in ML Jaya again. This time maybe for a couple of months or more, depending on how long i can hold on to. Well, only for the weekends both saturday and sunday since i will have 2 free weekdays, i guess i can choose to complete my work on those days IF i want to. So ya, full day on saturday and a half-day work on sunday.

Money gained from work will go to my savings...okie er...maybe 20% will be spent to reward myself but i shall splurge nothing more than that. Really really really in desperate need to keep some savings for lots of things planned. Like wht the elders always say, it's best to save for rainy days. But in my case, more unnecessary wants and outing plans. To some it might be an essential spending for fun, but to me with a tight budget to come by, it's something i can do without. Hey, surely won't mind the fun IF i had the money to begin with. Who would anyway?

Work it is then. Section14 as always. Old old friendly place.

Mommy dearest

2007-05-13T00:15:00.000+08:00

HAPPY MOTHER's DAY!

haven't bought anything for mom yet. saving a bigger sum of money so that i can afford a handphone for her. She wants one, it's about time too since hers is the oldest and stoniest among all in the family. SSsshhh. i hope i'll get enough for a flip. For all that she had done for her children and husband, she deserves more than this.

hope that she won't need to strive too hard when i'm able to give her a more comfortable life next time. waiting for that day to come. Family is the utmost important to me. Nothing else beats that. Not anything in the world. ......ahhhhaaa......bliss.....

Oh No.

2007-05-07T01:05:00.000+08:00

It's happening again, isn't it? I've abandoned this blog for a long time, more than a month. Why? Never in the right mood. and yes again i'm sick of the layout and planning to do something about it in the near future. Sounds like never.

New short sem is here. Such reluctance to go back to uni to become a slave to assignments. That also explains why i had not touched my assignment during the hols which is due dis coming friday. Serves me right, then for all the procrastination. 4 more days to finish it. That's 96 hours. A full 2500-word case study. Good job, sim!

Another 'oh-no' would be my timetable. Tuesday lectures for HRM and Social Psych will be clashing. So which shall I attend? Neither! If only that's possible. A big headache when one takes up electives. And a bigger headache if one plans to minor cos one won't get to choose which subjects to take. So if a subject doesn't clash with another, it will be like a lottery win.

This chinese new year was not too bad, in fact it was quite enjoyable really. well, the most wonderful thing is still being able to return home for a long stay (10 days ok). This time i followed xinch's car back home and the first person i saw upon reaching was my sister. Not that it's a bad thing or anything that sort but i was expecting more to see my mom. I miss my sister too la of cos hehe. First sight i caught of my mom was her cooking in the kitchen. haha i miss nothing more than her homecooked dishes! Later then, being a good daughter i helped with abit of spring cleaning (OCD parents had spring cleaning twice).

Fast forward to Day 3, prepared some food for my uncle n family. hehe

Can see that the brocolli on the place turned yellowish abit d, my fault actually it's overcooked. But hey, still taste delicious all the same.

ps: this is really a random post which i intend to tempt you guys with my cooking. er...well not really like i cooked both la. i got more things to write actually but now is not da time. hehe

good year for tigers?

2007-02-27T20:00:00.000+08:00

It's the much-anticipated time of the year. When shopping for new clothings won't bring guilt, showing how you spend money on unnecessary items to parents won't cause nagging. So here it is....

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2007!

To everyone, all my friends, living anywhere, in the country, outside the country, in the state, outside the state.

afternoon-nap headaches

2007-02-09T22:54:00.000+08:00

I THINK i know what might be the cause of my frequent headaches lately.

P M S.

why? this whole week i fell asleep (unintentionally) almost every day and i was perfectly alright, no pain at all. It must be related to menstruation, it must. so yea i can take forty winks in the afternoon/evening again! just not 1 or 2 weeks before that unwanted visit.

:)

shocking even myself

2007-01-31T07:20:00.000+08:00

look at the time i'm typing this. 7 in the MORNING! no, it's not because i didn't sleep the whole night, i actually slept as early as around 10pm and managed to wake up at 6AM! it has to be an accomplishment. since the secondary school days, this has got to be my first time ever i sleep n rise early.

thanks to my throbbing headache, i had to lie on the bed and rest early. i can't seem to take afternoon/evening naps anymore. whenever i do so, i'll end up with a headache that will last the whole night through and sometimes till the next morning. what's wrong with my body functions? i feel old and problematic.

lol and what people say is true, the morning hours somehow feel longer, they go by slower so it's like we can finish more tasks too. take the internet connection for example, its great so far! not lagging not slow, all my pages load fine.

gonna go take panadol now.

What gives me pleasure?

2007-01-29T02:13:00.000+08:00

An itch. Seriously, what do you feel when you scratch a very itchy spot on your own skin? i bet it's like the relief you feel when you empty your bowel after a steamboat buffet meal. However, do not be too aggressive when you scratch with your nails or else pleasure will turn to pain. You need that exact amount of pressure and frequency when scratching to ensure optimum joy of contentment and not tearing of the epidermis.

Hey don't snigger ah! take it from someone who has ~~suffered~~ enjoyed skin allergy, or known as dermatitis, for nearly 6 years and still counting. Imagine the joy i get whenever i indulge a little too much in seafood, eggs, peanuts, alcohol, and fried heaty food.

Don't tell me you can resist this and this. Bullshit!

But yet no matter what, i have to live with it because it can't be fully cured, so once in a while it will pay me a visit or two. So accepting fate (most probably caused by asthma), i stupidly/courageously had a few shots of chivas with my 2 friends. well, nothing happened to my skin on that night itself but unfortunately i started itching like a monkey the next day. Control control, no rubbing the skin. That's the problem with me, i don't get to drink because of the allergy which is so very pathetic. If my parents know about this i can imagine their glaring stare and nagging ringing in my head. It's not like they are against me drinking alcohol or worry that i might turn into an AA. ha-ha. they are more worried that all the cream in the world won't be enough for me to stop my allergy. yea speaking of those cream for allergies, they don't always stop the itch.

As i'm typing all this crap about my crappy skin problem, i'm crappily itching all over; my arms, thighs, stomach, back, legs and even my little finger.

urhh! dunno what's wrong with the connection.waited so so ssssooo long for blogger page to load just so that i can sign in and add my entry. while waiting for it to fully load, i'm typing all this on notepad first.

How's everything back in kl? it has been so-so, nothing bad nothing great. However, i feel it's a lot better than before. what's that that is better remains something only I know. ok ok it's just a feeling. Last semester was not bad actually, working in PJ allowed me to get out of the hse more frequently than the sem before and it felt real good of course. but then again, it had not done too good to my studies.

damn the connection. now telling me that there's problem loading. streamyx sucks. okie back to me, i enrolled for 4 psych subjects this sem, hope that i can handle them, handling them also includes consistent revision and concentration in classes which i have yet to do until now. all the talk abt working harder for this and that is really me bullshiting myself. gotta stop saying out loud how i wanna try and work it out. despite all the worries and thoughts about performing better, i'm still a slacker with no determination and willpower for sure. what's my progress so far? hours of potato-couching watching "virtues of harmony 2".

- the end -

ps: this entry is written out of mere obligation to update my blog after nearly half a month. will follow up with a more meaningful post next. and let's not forget again that streamyx is the worst broadband service available in the country.

My big day

2007-01-04T00:53:00.000+08:00

Turned 20 at my uncle's house in BM. No celebration at all for me, so sad one. haha. However, a week before my birthday my sister sponsored a strawberry cheesecake for me. they planned for it to be an early birthday celebration for me but i didn't want anything troublesome so we just enjoyed the cake together at home. it's good enough, warm and happy.

On my birthday, the 23rd Dec Saturday 2006, everyone in the house was busy preparing for my cousin sister's wedding nite, i ended up in this restaurant somewhere in BM which served quite bad tasting food. uaakh! nobody enjoyed the food, after looking at the first appetizer dish, my appetite flew away instantly. So bored during the dinner that i camwhore with my sis and mom with my new phone. Here's the outcome:

Sis and I

me and mom

By the time dinner finished, we still gotta wait till all the guests leave before we made a move. But then, having a close relative marrying really made me feel like a VVIP, especially the treatment by other further relatives. Anyway, the workload continued the next day that was supposed to be the "real" day. the groom came to bring the bride back to his place. he was quite pitiful actually, he felt sick and was down with fever but had to endure the obstacles created by my cousin's noisy girl-friends somemore. They forced him to down a glass of lime + lemon juice, another glass of super-duper insanely sweet drink, 3 pieces of wasabi-spread biscuits and he had to answer some ridiculous questions and to perform a funny dance. Quite funny, so hard to marry, i was thinking what if he suddenly quit and said he doesn't wanna go ahead anymore? hehe just a thought, it would be really funny then. I got to witness the whole big crap plus the entire ceremony cos i was my uncle's assistant photographer. very the 'pa pai'. Didn't know until then that taking photos can be quite a tiring and energy-consuming job especially when you gotta run around making sure you get every shot. barely ate anything at all the whole morning and noon, the same with my uncle.

Conclusion: wedding preparation is not that easy, so far what i've seen scares me already. With all the funny and weird ceremonies and customs, really troublesome. Anyhow, it's still a happy occasion, so glad for my cousin, finally got to marry the man she loves. May they stay happily married for life.

Welcome 2007

2007-01-01T16:32:00.000+08:00

01.01.07 is here! with just a blink of an eye, we've entered a whole new year once again. I dunno why but I kinda feel like 2006 passed by way much faster than the years before. Time is seeping by without me even noticing. Procrastination is deadly evil! It turns years into months, months into days, days into hours and even hours into minutes. Probably that's why i did not realise how time flies and then fails to be more productive than i should be.

Anyway, enough blahss... here to welcome the new year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007

What resolutions do i have for this new beginning? Hmm... let's see:

work hard and earn my grades
lose weight and stop whining
be less lazy and start making an effort to keep in touch with more friends
be thrifty and save more allowance
let my dad win more lotteries so i can get more allowance
meet more new friends and polish my social life
have enough money to enjoy (eg: shopping, in-country vacation, food, fun) myself (contradicts #4 : so what?)
must go Thailand, any part of it, even Hatyai counts
before that, make passport first
wanna go Singapore!

Oishey, that's all first lah for now. lastly, may i be blessed with stronger will power to accomplish all that in 2007. hehe.

Did not get to go out and celebrate new year's eve dis year. Was at home coughing and fever-ing away welcoming the year 2007 while my friends were out having fun at Queensbay, hor! But then nevermind, at least i still got to watch fireworks from my sister's bedroom window. So many places displayed fireworks, confirm Penangites are quite rich, from one place to another the display officially ended at around 12.20am.

Here's a random photo gotten from the web for my blog to celebrate also.

Dumb bank!

2006-12-29T16:14:00.000+08:00

The dumbest bank in Malaysia has got to be Maybank! To reapply a lost atm card, i had to make a ridiculous total of 6 trips to 3 different branches. Since i opened my account at the Komtar branch, that was my first choice. Tough luck, their atm device had to break down on that particular day and the person at the counter told me to head to another branch to get my card.

So fine! i went to the jelutong branch next, waited for more than half an hour for them to tell me they can't accept my temporary IC (old news: snatchtheft) cos i did not open my account there. I need to show them my license for them to process my card. the thing is, i had to renew my license first. Fine Fine!

Two or three days later, to try my luck again, i went to the komtar branch. The lousy device is still down. Good! A few days later after dat, i went there another time, same thing, device still down. Can't they jus fix that stupid piece of shit? Good service my head!

Today, went to the Jelutong branch first, guess what they told me a lot of people are making atm cards i gotta wait for 1 whole hour.

So tired of waiting for the damned card, i decided to head to another branch to get things done. the nearest branch would be Dato' Kramat's. Even better, they said to get my card i only can do it at the branch i open my account. What good service. According to the Komtar branch, i can go to ANY branch at all cos their device had technical problem. But according to the smart ass DK branch, i can't cos im using a temporary ic. Well hey, retards, if i'm illegal, can i get my temporary ic issued by the GOVERNMENT in the first place? To get such a small matter settled, i had to go through so much stupid unnecessary procedure. WTF!

First machine down, then i must show my license accompanied by my IC, next i only can make the card at one particular branch. Fuck them Maybank. I did not encounter such difficulties with CIMB at all, all they needed me to show was my TEMPORARY ic and the completed form and THAT'S IT! what's with Maybank and their fussy idiotic service? all those paperwork and hours of waiting really piss customers off ok. They really ought to send all their staffs to some seminars and customer-responsive service training. and yes i finally got the card after showing my dull black sick face to the banker! LEY...

Fresh and refreshed

2006-12-20T03:07:00.000+08:00

Notice the new look?! changed the boring old layout to this one. Is it any better? hehe i kinda like it. got bored with the previous one la and anyway i stopped blogging for quite sometime before that so with this new layout at least im starting all over again. at least for the moment i'm not bored with it just yet. You guys know how often i tend to change the skin rite?

Farewell, my friend

2006-12-18T02:24:00.000+08:00

I was dead stunned when u broke the news. It's shocking to suddenly realise that u are leaving the country not to do something what common people our age do. But then it's not like it's the end of the world hey. You faced the whole situation with courage and determination and i really admire you for that. Not many dare to take the step that you took for the sake of their family. Not many are willing to sacrifice so much even for their family. Not many can withstand the thought of uncertainties that might befall them. Not many could still stay strong when people around them fail to. Not many would bear the full burden and responsibility of others like the way you did. Not many are able to act the way you did, to choose this path and continue your journey in life. For this, you truly proved yourself to be someone worthy of respect from family and friends. Even at moments like this, you never did once forget your friends including me.

No doubt you are a great thinker. lol. there are no dead end in this world, really glad that you are so optimistic. may everything goes the way you planned for it to be over there. Send my regards to you and your family. hope that you will meet more kind-hearted souls over there. all the best, will really miss you. may you live happily and stress-free there. don't overwork yourself and remember that there are still a lot of ppl who care for you here. be sure to keep in touch, may the paths ahead of you be bright and great. This post is dedicated to you specially, to bid farewell and also to wish you the best of everything from now on.

Sakkai(s) in the island - Day 3 (Last day)

2006-12-14T02:29:00.000+08:00

The last day arrived, and also wasted spent lazing ard at home the whole morning. parents bought some nyonya kuih and char koay teow for them. 2 hours later, it was lunch time, time to eat again, dis time mom cooked some nyonya dishes to eat with rice. another 3 hours later, they had to go. We brought them to the bus terminal and off they went home.

Later in the evening, i've plans to meet diane, ade, mel, hwen, cying and xinch at gurney drive to have the long-anticipated fried chicken skin! look how healthy i am. it has been so long since i've seen so many of them all together at the same time and place, it was good. felt like old school times again in MGS and during Lower 6.

It's late and i'm getting quite sleepy, forgive me for the shortness and lack of details, nothing important is missed so that's it lah. My job as a tour guide was officially over and i'm quite glad too bcos showing ppl around isn't the easiest thing to do. Would still prefer to become the tourist instead. However, overall i had fun and it was kinda terrific.

Sakkai(s) in PG - Day 2

2006-12-12T23:15:00.000+08:00

Late. As usual, set the alarm to ring at an ungodly hour, 8am. should have known it was quite impossible to wake up at such a time considering we did not get much sleep the day before. breakfast was mom's Lor Mee, hehe tasted great but a bit too much, felt heavy straight after i finish my bowl. mom's feeding me like a pig at home but of cos my own self to blame for not being able to decline food offered at home.

Today, our destination is THE BEACH. woohoo, the sakkais had not really been to the coastal area, understandable urban kids. so the moment we reached, both of them got excited and decided to get wet and swim in the sea. Funny thing was, sukh wasn't really 'prepared' for it so it spelled t-r-o-u-b-l-e for her. i made sure i don't wet my top cos i didn't bring extras.

After just 2.5 hours at the beach, i felt roasted, i looked roasted and can feel the heat on my skin. Great, now half of my arm is way darker than the other half and i haf a wedding to attend. Not forgetting my black charcoal face. Spent the next few hours at Gurney Plaza to kill time,had our lunch at FoodLoft then we watched Deja Vu. it was damn good! i would say it's a very good watch and definitely worth it. After that we went off to makan again at gurney drive hawker centre. This time i can't eat much, still full from lunch, they serve really big portion at FoodLoft. We only had 2 things cos they wanted to try Pasembur and Muar Chee, both newly found delicacies in their food dictionary.

Sakkai(s) in the island - Day 1

2006-12-12T02:13:00.000+08:00

After the scrumptious hokkien mee feast, with me being their "tour guide" we headed downtown -> Prangin Mall. Initially i wanted to bring them to Kek Seng Kopitiam to try the ever-so delicious durian ice-cream but by the time we reached town it was already late and the coffee shop would have closed by then. So we just walked around prangin and they did a little shopping there. Coming fr Kl, they were obviously not impressed of the mall but anyhow at least Beads Zone caught their attention. Good for Sukh, she finally got the skirt she wasn't exactly looking for but it's nice on her.

Next stop was New Lane! it was already dinner time so where else to go in town other than the famous hawker centre near Sunway Hotel. We ate a lot, well mostly them eating like gluttons, lol. Ordered Lorbak, Satay, Char Koay Kak, Popiah, See Koe Teng and Mata Kucing. i was extremely stuffed after that but apparently i was alone. Those two monkeys were still complaining that they were not quite full yet and wanted more. We walked along Macalister Road and in the end ended up in a bakery shop called Time2Bread. Billy bought bread like he had never seen and tasted them in his whole life before becos he thought they were pretty cheap (below $2 each). our dinner didn't stop at new lane, each of us got ourselves a piece of cake, i got a Mocha cheesecake while both of them had Choc Mud cake. The cakes were so-so only, nothing to shout about.

Too bad i was too tired till i forgot to bring the camera along, no photos...sheessh.

home sweet home

2006-12-11T15:37:00.000+08:00

DEC 11 2006 -> finally home, took the 9.30am Konsortium bus with my 2 KL friends who decided to give ol'penang a visit (after all my bangga'ing abt my hometown). Stupid bus only managed to leave pudu at ard 10.05am. By the time we reached penang it was already like 3pm. Didn't even get to enjoy a good nap in the bus cos the seat was too hard and after awhile my neck hurt like shit, so the journey back wasn't pleasant at all.

BUT all the discomfort was paid off by mom's homecooked Hokkien Mee! I dun think i'll mind another trip on that darn bus if i'll be rewarded with my mom's cooking. Haven't had it for just 2 months plus but it feels like a whole damn year. Uh..i'm talking like she always add some addictive substance into the food making me showing withdrawal symptoms. Well, my 2 friends never tasted Penang Style Hokkien Mee before in their lives so it was pretty awesome for them too. (tsk tsk kl..kl...)

2006-09-19T18:38:00.000+08:00

i really have to stop starting my entries with "i'm back" or lines similar to that. i am aware that my blog is obviously very dead once in a while, it's just that i've lost interest in blogging mundane stuffs, no great ideas in my head so boring stuff is what u'll get.

FIRST one whole long semester is over in HELP. finished. over. done. and of cos i'm back in home sweet home pearl of the orient. reached on saturday after 2 and a half months of not coming back, miss home family and friends a lot! not amny left in penang though but ade, pyan, mel, chung peh, jo will all b in penang! so lots of meeting up to do. too bad jade left without informing me, didn't even get to say goodbye to her.

heard many interesting gossips fr my parents n those kaypo friends too, hehe funny stories and all. maybe i'll tell some in my other upcoming entries. what is life without some gossips? right!? who doesn't do it? everyone does, and everyone is happily doing it as long as it does not harm anyone. lol. everytime i come home i'll be updated wid many interesting, fun, sad, weird stories by my family regarding neighbours, relatives and family friends. it's no wonder i'm born a kaypo-chi.

consider myself lucky

2006-07-31T01:25:00.000+08:00

finally followed nicole to her charity home today. had been wanting to go for so long but it used to be all talk but no action. The place is under Ti-Ratana Welfare Centre, it's a buddhist based home for old folks, orphans and single mothers. Went there with may, joa, nicole and her frens who are long-term volunteers there. We visited the orphanage which has ard 170 children in total, they were all everywhere, loitering around, some are in tuitions taught by nicole n frens while some are tutored by a few others. since we had no idea what to begin with, we asked to tutor the small ones.

apparently most of them speak mandarin, that's a little hard for me to communicate with them but overall it's still ok. what's harder is that most of them were asking me to teach them how to do their Chinese homework, which i have no clue at all. so embarrassing cos when u can speak with the kids in chinese, they would straight expect you to know how to teach them too. lol i would then keep asking them whether they haf other homework apart from Chinese. i'm kinda lucky today i got a very nice kid to teach, shy at first but listened well. then slowly when he got comfortable with me, he's actually really cheeky but very very likable. taught him reading and spelling in Malay, not bad for a 7-year old, he can read quite a number of words d.

going there today had made me see how lucky i actually am, being brought up by good parents and receiving lots of love from family members. these children were not treated like precious stones at all, they are always scolded, screamed at, caned, and threatened for small matters or even no apparent reason. it's ridiculous to see an adult finding fault with a 10-year old just because his book was untidy. Does he even deserve being threatened, caned and screamed at for such tiny matter? i don't even see it as an offence, 'torturing' kids like that is jus unacceptable. and i haf to sit at the same table with that annoying bitch while she enjoyed her time torturing the poor kid. hope i won't ever see her doing such cruelty again the next time i go, ahh don't wanna see her at all in fact.

the kids are cute and nice, but the incident with the cane really pissed me off leaving me feeling sorry for them. such places always make me feel good and bad at the same time, mixed emotions. should stop thinking for now....

back in action

2006-07-30T01:23:00.000+08:00

okie fine, not much action but at least i'm updating. haven't had the mood to write ever since moving to HELP, i wonder why. might b the sudden change of environment and housemates i guess. i know i memang not very good at changes and adapting to new places so it was not easy lah.

what's new after moving? basically everything! the people i live wid now are actually ex-classmates fr primary AND secondary schools, imagine how many years i've been seeing them, it's definitely weird that i have to see them nearly 24/7 now. gotten an entire room to myself, no room mate, considering i've always shared a room with someone else since coming to kl, i'm grateful in this sense. it's always nice to have a little privacy at times and having a single room allows much much much more privacy to me. college is different for certain, i barely know anyone in this new place, so hard to make new friends, tough time, i dun fancy always having to switch to a new environment and start from scratch, it's really tiring and this is like the third time in 1 and a half years! i prefer ppl that i've grown familiar with, in TAR college.... one more thing, means of transport to college is no longer my trusty legs, i tumpang housemates' cars.

there are actually plenty of things dat i can blog abt my so-called new life, not to say new as in turning over a new leaf or what not, it's new as in i see different ppl more frequently, i'm in a total stranger's uni, i'm staying in a different area, different lifestyle. too much to think abt if i were to continue typing, im lazy now, ending here, continuing in my next post, i kno i write boring stuffs, but i like to read my own bullshit, so hehe well, i'm mo liu....

oooooh aaaaaah

2006-06-16T15:57:00.000+08:00

okie here goes, i'm updating my blog currently, this instant i'm half awake n sitting in front of the laptop typing away. the weather is soooo perfect for a nap but can't sleep cos gotta wait for the 'astro man'..hehe getting astro soon! whoo! in my room sucking on a mini magnum ice-cream, chatting wid venez, using wireless connection....

that's all for the updates, be sure to tune in from time to time.

ahhh sorry for the crappy entry, will write more details soon enough, when i feel like it.

the existence

2006-05-15T01:39:00.000+08:00

In our mother's womb, we stayed close and anticipated for the moment for us to be exposed to this world. Being a baby, we were incapable of doing anything else except shedding some tears and scream our lungs out. We were, of course, spoon-fed, there is no need for us to torture our uncontaminated brains to work out anything beyond our young understanding. Several years later, we learnt to demand our wants and needs more effectively, of course that must include sulking, screaming, yelling and crying. But even so, all decisions and especially important ones are to be made by our parents or people older than us.

We find little things troublesome, frustrating, fun, upsetting, astonishing, startling, shocking, surprising, confusing and everything else, what we never did realise then was how little the matter may seem when we grow up. At the age of 8, a pencil gone missing in the classroom might be seen as a major catastrophic event; informing the teacher, suspecting theft, causing anger. What does this mean to an adult? merely nothing at all. lost a pencil? Just replace it with a new one, it won't cost much. Yea, this is what we experience as we grow older. However, everything, every aspect of our life, turns out to be more complexing and complicating as we move on. Matters aren't gonna be just simple problems solvable with little effort. Everytime we make a decision, we gotta be responsible for the consequences. If, unfortunately our judgement had gone wrong in the beginning, who but us must bear the results.

We add new experiences and knowledge to life's database each day as we live. Sometimes, it feels so much easier if we could just stop aging, mentally and physically. I always dream to stay being a child forever, yea laugh at that, just like peter pan and friends in neverland. Well everyone knows that's impossible. Reality strikes us hard in the face, it wouldn't allow time for fantasy. Too bad time is zooming pass so damn fast. I'm already feeling old at this age. Before i knew it, i might even be 40 and still blogging on the same link. Issit just me or is the earth rotating faster and revolving the sun quicker than before?

too free

2006-05-14T18:02:00.000+08:00

finally have some time for peace and rest in penang, jus finished this book. filled with intense curiosity and a good plot, definitely a good read, at least it succeeded in keeping me occupied for a couple of nights before bedtime.

on a totally unrelated issue, i had a bad tummy fr morning till an hour ago. blame the curry mee that sis bought for me. too much oil in the chilly, my stomach was in burning pain, can even feel the heat kindling stirring up a battle inside. it was really terrible, but, thanks to some chinese powder-like medication and parents' massages, i'm back on my feet. feels so good to have ppl caring for us when we are sick. :p

Mommy Deary

2006-05-14T13:44:00.000+08:00

To all the wonderful mommies out there,

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY

To my mom, thanks for all those times that you stayed by me, supporting me through ups and downs. Thanks for just being there and taking care of me till now. You are undeniably the greatest mom i've ever had (not like i got other biological moms to compare to) :p I know for sure that you love ur daughters dearly, even though you and dad do not show it in the obvious sometimes, but we know, we can feel what both of you have gone through for us. Thanks for everything. That includes giving me life. Well, your hardwork is not wasted for sure, for u have shaped us into good decent nice filial girls who will never let you down. *perasan*....

i am out

2006-05-13T23:26:00.000+08:00

i'm now officially out of Utar, just received a letter from them confirming my withdrawal. no turning back now, like i have a choice. everything is practically settled over there (damansara). house rental is secured, electrical appliances r coming, furniture-seeking had been done by joa n xinch. there's no turning back indeed, unless i wanna get myself killed.

all may seem fine but it actually isn't. sumthing had to pop up and cause me to worry sick. while i was away in genting, dis officer from HELP taking care of loan department gave me a call. i was told my loan is for an entire year so while i am taking this loan i can't be applying other loans (ptptn) later on in september. dat's not what he told me during my interview. now where is their consistency in the procedure? he was encouraging me to apply for ptptn in september and here again tis officer is telling me i can't do that and haf to choose only one. she said to call me back again but it has been one whole week n i still have no news abt it. so i am certainly clueless and oh well, no matter what i still have to go through the risk of not getting the loan. to think about it, it was the same with studying in Utar, if without ptptn i wouldn't be able to continue, so why should i get so nervous about HELP, im actually in the same condition all over again. that's rather tiring. Anything regarding financial conflict is always tiring. 9 out of 10 times of the source of my problems remained to be monetary. i'm going there and that's all i better be thinking about. hope is always there if we choose to look in its direction.

kek khi like hell

2006-04-06T11:41:00.000+08:00

FRUSTRATION! feel like scowling at anyone coming near me now. damn it. what's wrong with expressing opinion from my own perspectives?? i don't need some childish naive girl to come and tell me 'oh my, i think u are stereotyping more and more'. wtf! use another word lah! i'm so sick of ppl verballing the word 'stereotype'. they think it's cool is it when u kno some stupid term? well, i'm telling you it's not and i've known the word since i was in primary.

let me explode now please. i'm so geram i dunno where to start with. i'm feeling like such an idiot, when you know your facts are correct but a couple of people are telling you that you are not and they even add that you stereotyped, that's what bugs me now. i'm tremendously fuckingly extremely frustrated.

okie my psychology friends (joa, may, xinch), i have a question to ask. does studying psychology means you MUST polish your counselling skills? i believe it is useful but that wasn't even my opinion yet. i just commented on wht my lecturer is gonna do next semester, he said he will be teaching us social psychology by adding counselling techniques into it (presumably because he is a die-hard fan of counselling, he is a licensed counsellor, he has a Master in counselling). But i do not understand why in social psychology as a subject we can't even study the subject as it is, pure social psych, can't UTAR give the students a break, even in supposedly unrelated subjects, i can't get away with counselling. AND there are still other subjects of counselling for goodness' sake in that very semester. But my 2 lovely friends, after hearing wht i said, one saying that well mayb social psych and counselling are related that's why he will be doing that. as far as i know, when we learn social psych in pre-u there wasn't a word of counselling in the reference book. and she being the supreme rationale of my mind, says that i have stereotyped more and more WITH a concerned and tired look. shit you. the other start saying things like well we wanna study psychology, counselling is undeniably important also, u want to become a psychologist, you will be a therapist right? well therapist and counsellor is the same.

THEY FUCKINGLY DO NOT GET ME! Who in their right mind would say therapist and counsellor is the same? do they even know what the hell they are taking? im so damn annoyed, im pissed like shit! the person who said i stereotyped, well it's not the first time she said so, of cos she doesn't bother cos she 100% will be transferring because she too does not like counselling but how can a person like dat agrees that if you study psychology you have to know counselling?

yes learning counselling is an added advantage, but my point there wasn't about opposing counselling, i was saying that because i feel we have no room for other aspects of psychology because everything, every little hope of other aspects is drowned away with counselling stuffs. NO variety at all, and psychology is supposed to have a wide area.

HAHAH and therapist = counsellor? she wouldn't even listen to me when i said no, she showed me her ugly i-am-so-confident expression that i find no need to explain n let it be. im sick of ppl like this around me, for once i thought they are the only people who understand what i want but no i am wrong i guess. i was just stating all that personally as my own view on my own perspective, but it's either they took it personally or they feel that they are correct all the while. with this people around, the closest to me in utar actually, even with them, i guess i better remain silent or dumb next time. no more opinions from bsim in utar. no more.

Feeling a lot more relieved today, happier in fact.

My sister just fixed my pc at home and now i can chat wid her online. Hard disk broke down so jus got a new one for the cpu and new monitor too. Here's the part which costs a celebration....keke... i get to go back to penang dis weekend!! can join my family for Cheng Beng, thanks to my cousin who is driving back. has been 2 months since i last returned, missing the island of pearl! WooHOO~

i'm trying my best and paying all my attention to completing the application forms now. trying to force my eyelids from shutting, but still i have to finish the essay for the form...aihh maybe i'll just continue tomolo, hehe.

better go back to writing it, work hard work hard now. ;)

blowing up

2006-03-25T00:04:00.000+08:00

couldn't remember when was the last time i blogged... but that's not the point i'm writing right now. currently really under a whole lot of shitty emotions, all negative ones though. Lots of things are bothering me and it's affecting my mood in uni, with friends and even at home. i get irritated really easily and some stupid assholes can't tell when a person is not feeling at her best, they will still ask plenty of annoying moronic questions and after giving them a one-word reply, they will still continue with more questions. damn irritating! not sure whether i should call them idiots or they are just denying the obvious. just stop annoying someone when they are obviously already annoyed IF you do not wanna be a victim of a blow-up!

I really don't understand why ppl can give in to everything their partner says eventhough it is damn unreasonable. Why are they being controlled in such a way as if other things aren't important enough for them to make their own stand for it? If you really want to do something and be with your friends then make it happen! it won't help if u just beg ur master endlessly and weakly.

i dunno much, im not in a relationship, and certainly am grateful that im not in such situation. i've had enough of friends being in an emo state because of some stupid jerks. well im living with one anyway. yea yea we r not ur jerks and stop showing us your damn the-whole-world-owes-it-to-me look, it has nothing to do with us and fuck off. well anyway such ppl are mostly self-centred and inconsiderate, do not be deceived by how they act in public.

questions are all jumbled up in my mind right now. to move or not to move? to apply on tuesday or not? to transfer or not to transfer? to stay or not to? life is full of decision-making, dats the part i hate the most especially when the decisions lead to life-changing events. every step you take would seem so wrong, and the other path that was not chosen would suddenly feel so right, what bullshit.

i feel so mean nowadays, like i can scold anyone anytime. i haf to admit i've always been mean (pmay: okie, i admitted at last), but i am MEANER now. My meanness is so surpressed deep inside me that it's hard for me to be myself, hanging out with a bunch of (chi-ed) ppl really is making me more n more boring as a person, they have this mentality of it's wrong to say negative things abt ppl and even if its a joke, they still can't catch it. sumtimes seeing your close fren getting offended at something which you think is totally harmless is very sien. ur friend would be so caught up feeling angry while you will feel NOTHING, but seeing her complain over nothing is tiring. you can't even tell them 'nah, u r just being real sensitive' woah that would put them in a more serious fit.

I'm a mess.

a comeback

2006-03-02T01:08:00.000+08:00

MISS ME???
i can't remember when was the last time i logged into blogger. the past 2 months have been nothing but hell for me, hectic schedule, chaotic routines, uni life in utar isn't fun at all! but i do enjoy the times meeting up with our penang friends in kl.

the one thing i hate the most is the assignments! i dun mind having assignments to do but the lecturers are really damn inconsiderate to be giving one every week and expect us to present it weekly! as though we have nothing better to do when every other subjects demand similar workload. i'd forgotten what R-E-S-T feels like! the word has been long lost in my vocabulary.

but but but ONE thing calls for a celebration today! it's MY internet connection! That's right! now i have my own connection (umm....sharing with a few others)....meaning i can online whenever i'm free and download whatsoever that is deemed pirated! HAHA!

im getting really really sleepy at this moment......too lazy to type more but actually i've got tonnes to express here, it's just tht my mind is to tired to function properly. to make things short, today is my first day of work, and tomolo i'll be having psych midterm, so please guys, wish me good luck for i haven't studied one bit.

Doggie Year

2006-02-01T23:55:00.000+08:00

Just got back from our ANNUAL GATHERING of 2006! enjoyed every second of seeing all my friends. this is like one of the rare chances of meeting nearly everyone! couldn't possibly describe the nostalgic feeling i'm experiencing now, it's as tho we were back in sch again, 5 Science 1... sitting here still thinking, still missing, still anticipating for the next reunion to come. IT WAS GREAT! i am happie! can't remember the last time i truly feel good being with friends, as in being happy from deep down. i noticed the change in myself, i'm aware of how lost i've become even when i'm around close friends, i jus cannot find a way to lighten up anymore....

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!! PROMISE TO MAKE THIS YEAR A GOOD ONE!

When good things happen...

2005-12-23T15:47:00.000+08:00

I know this is very vain and perasan of me but i gotta wish myself ---->

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY!

hehehe today is MY day! oooh i'm finally 19 when nearly all the others are worrying about approaching the big 20. Still in a rather delighted mood right now, yesterday was not just great, it's totally awesome and fabulous!

A number of us met up for dinner at a japanese restaurant called Ajinoren, we (me, pyan, may) were late...er...blame it on the traffic. Anna, Szuen and Joa were all waiting impatiently and starvingly for us for nearly an hour i supposed, really so sorry.. what's more paiseh is that they haven't ordered cos they were waiting for me to order first, the dumb birthday girl la...ah such cultured friends i have. LOL. later chia and her bf, the most talked-about person of the week, Robert entered the restaurant. then after a while, pyan's bf came too. we waited quite long for our food, szuen was the hungriest but hers came last. later ade dropped by too! that's when they surprised me with the cake, i actually thought the reason szuen had gone away so long was to go to the washroom to, you know... hehehe. THANKS everyone for the lovely cake! yes, eventhough there's an ah-liannish flower on it but it's wht makes the cake lovely, really all thanks to anna! and on that very same night, we found out something new, something we had never regard ourselves to be. We are mean, sarcastic, retarded and everything nice...

finally we decided to leave the restaurant, i'm pretty sure the people in the restaurant were damn glad about it, maybe they even had their little celebration after we left. Imagine 8 mgsians grouped together in a small restaurant, noise pollution is all that you will ever get. Giving in to our current obsession of Orh Chien (fried oyster), we drove all the way to town near yan's hse to try lyn's recommendation. But unfortunately i think we got the wrong stall, because the fried oyster was not very nice, even 'nice' is overrated. we didn't manage to finish it. we went on and on talking abt everything, ghost stories, old classmates, old stuffs and new stuffs haha.

thanks guys! all of you have made my birthday unforgetable! thanks for everything...especially to those who suggested and organised it (anna n may). terima kasih! xie xie! dor jeh! arigatou! kamsiah! grazie! gracias! obrigado! merci!

Memorable vacation - Part 2

2005-12-19T02:09:00.000+08:00

here it is, the rest of the story. We thought we had better go see a doctor in case it wasn't jus a mild food poisoning. my friend drove us to this hospital called Southern Hospital, once reached, we walked straight into the emergency section. Mel, Jolene and i were the first 3 people to arrive at the hospital while Daniel drove back to get the rest. We told the doctor that we were not the only few, there were 3 more people on the way, and he was alarmed. haha the people there kept asking where we ate and all, but as far as i know, no action was taken. The doc wanted us to be put on drip. Jo and I insisted that we were perfectly okie to escape the drip, hehe. No, we are no scaredy-cats, it was painful lah.... so after lying there for 3 or more hours, we were finally allowed to be discharged.

daniel called his cousin to fetch us back to his house cos one car wasn't enough for all of us. there we looked like half-dead, his aunt even cooked porridge for all of us (really paiseh), then we bathe and hang around in the living room, soon after his parents n little 2-year old brother came back. Gosh his brother was sooooo adorable! Just so very cute....hehe...later he brought us to the portuguese settlement where we walked around, most of the houses there were over-decorated with lights and streamers. then it was time for us to board the bus at 10pm. thanked daniel and off we go.

so glad to be back here once again.....the malacca trip was overall 70%good and 30%jinxed..but i wouldn't deny we did had a pretty good time chatting at night and for discovering that my misconception towards a friend had changed. it's not really that bad. it's cool, it's funny and definitely unpredictable.

hey, you do not always have the opportunity to go through food poisoning with a bunch of crazy friends, right?

Annual gathering turned to a hospital visit

2005-12-17T15:20:00.000+08:00

again, another year has passed by and it's time for a reunion in december! this time it's malacca....so who went? me, may, joa, yan, whoi, jolene, mel, chiew....we departed on the 13th fr kl and reached malacca after 2 hours. took a cab to the resort jolene's mom reserved for us, thanks to her mom, it's free! it's located in ayer keroh, being unfamiliar to dis new place, we were kinda lost hehe.. the next day we got our way to town where all those historical architectures stood proud. walked around nearly every route there is, visited and took lots of pictures....ChristChurch, Jonker Walk, and etc...... Chicken rice ball, chendol, nyonya laksa, baba laksa, some snacks, nyonya food for dinner (the best kapitan chicken)...tasted all these in one single day.

here comes the epitome of the trip! on our very last day, we had a 12pm bus to catch back to penang, chiew boarded the bus to sg. so in the morning, my friend offered to fetch us to Malacca Sentral and before that he suggested a certain famous mee goreng somewhere nearby Seri Costa Hotel which happened to be closed. So then we just simply walked into an ordinary looking coffee shop for breakfast. ordered fried rice, 5 of us did so. i ate like a quarter and my friend helped finish like 3/4 of it. then he drove us to sentral and that's when me n mel started rushing to the washroom to puke! found jolene there already vomitting! we can't hold back anymore seeing all the cubicles were taken so we just puke all over the basins. pity those loud-mouth janitors who were cursing and shouting at us like we did it on purpose, ignore ignore....vomitted twice in there, then 3 of us sat down and started a vomitting marathon with a bunch of plastic bags clutched tightly in our hands. the rest had to take care of our bags, my friend n joa went to get us some medication...when they got back, it was joa's turn...later on, yan felt sick too...we didn't think we could endure the 7-hour journey back to penang in this kind of state, so we requested for a change of tickets to 10pm. fortunately they agreed to change them but whoi said she wanted to return so she went back alone. with so many of us sick, my friend and pmay were the only healthy ones left...lol, they had to take care of so many of us, i do agree that seeing us all looking sick and weak at the same time is kinda hilarious.

dis is getting too long, there are more but now's not the time...

(to be continued in the upcoming entry)

it's over...

2005-12-07T15:03:00.000+08:00

Third semester finally ended with my final paper, Web Page Design. Damn, regretting all those time spent worrying about a new place to move into and not revising for exams. hopefully and pray hard that i will make it through this time cos i sure as hell do not wanna end up prolonging my time here in college for another sem.

Exams aside, we have found our room, i'm sharing with another 2 friends. yes i know it sounds a little overcrowded for 3 persons to be in a room, but hey its a masterbedroom and well, rent ain't cheap in pj. so gotta bear the not-so-much privacy and tolerate with each other at times. Did i also mention that our other 3 housemates are China girls studying in Stamford? yea, staying with them would be really awkward, i'm not too fond on living with foreign people, but we got no choice since our supposedly future housemates, the 3 fickleminded dicks can't decide what they want so we ended up screwing the chances of renting 2 furnished apartments. in the end, after taking so much shit from one of them, we just opt for a split! we are on our own.

utar is gonna open on the 3rd of January, orientation bullshit and all, not feeling keen on going.....shucks i want a longer holidays!

the time of independence!

2005-11-28T10:04:00.000+08:00

this post is dedicated to those of you who have just finished your major exams. I know it's ridiculous to put up an entry in a blog when i can just email it to all of you BUT i can't trust the goddamn fucking email providers nowadays. know why? i actually sent a long email to some of you but heck i gotten to know from a friend that it actually contains nothing but just a line! how frustrating is that? so read the below ya all:

it's merdeka for you 6th formers and also the KDU peeps, hehe what are you guys doing actually? haven't had the time to online so can't really catch up with most of you. thinking that you people are so free now and i'm still in kl makes me miss home! although i am not as binded to home as last time, i think i can pretty much live here for months without going back...got used to it and it's not so bad afterall.

i'll be back in a few weeks time, after my finals, after my checking out of the hostel, after the malacca trip and no, i'm not going to JB, time doesn't allow me to. so it means that i will be back straight after the trip which is on the 15th. can't wait! anticipating for the moment where i see highschool mates, of course hanging out with you guys would definitely be fantastic (let's get drunk for once) haha...

when are you guys coming down to kl? remember to call me out! i'll be there!

on a less brighter note, i'm worrying about not being able to get a room in PJ, went there a couple of times but wasn't happy with what we saw, jo's room was okie but too small. it doesn't help that we are such choosy bitches, at times like these, it sucks. furthermore, bloodsucking UTAR has to ask for money so damn early! that amount to me isn't little, it's gonna be harder than i thought, with my parents still assuring me that it's okay when i know it's not, it somehow makes me cringe with guilt.

well, to all of you who are in penang, enjoy every bit of your life there, it's da safest and most secure place in your life where worries are simple, appreciate all that before you leave home for there won't be much time for you to do that when you actually leave. okay i sound naggy hehe but it's best that we all know that, i've seen many kinds of ppl here, and i sympathise on the few of my friends who think going home is all about digging for allowances and they dread seeing their family because they feel their freedom is threatened. it is acceptable to say you are used to being on your own, as free as can be, but it is unforgivable to say the reason you go back is to get more money, or to say that spending quality time with your family once in a blue moon is a waste of time, i truly look down on these dirtbags who do not value family relationships. i understand it's none of my business that their thinking is such but i can get pretty caught up seeing that they are already granted with the best of everything and yet they couldn't care less. looking at myself, it's ironic how the human brain works. ahh that's the purpose of studying Psychology ey!

ps: wlyn>>if you are reading, come to malacca with us lah! without you, it won't be the same hehe...come la come lah! if your family is not going on a trip that time, you by all means must come!! anyway...what are you doing after finishing those papers? don't tell me just sit at home facing the webcam! get out there and do something la, u will rot and berkulat doing the same old thing every day and whole day summore. the F6 ppl are damn free, and Ms. Saw is in town, go ask them out and have all the fun!

pps: may>>update me with the plans okay, looking forward to meeting you guys soon...you have fun in penang, and i think it is always alright for you to self-invite yourself cos everybody loves pmay! okay lame joke...see ya pretty pretty soooooon!!

busiest week of the year!

2005-11-15T13:19:00.000+08:00

this particular memorable week is undeniably the first time in all of the 19 years of my life that i have come to realise what "stress" really is. life is a mess right now...anger being provoked at a minimum rate of once a day (daily), in addition to assignments, midterms, presentation and misery! its bad. my emotions are chaotic.

i can't think straight nowadays, recently living in my own blurrish world. couldn't be much bothered to what's happening around me. block myself out of any sickening matters cos i do not wanna drag myself into any more nonsense, so in short, i'm a living corpse. aww i sound so pathetic, i really am. i'm so lost, i'd even forgotten all about adeline's birthday, i only remembered yesterday, what an ass i am.

do not trust what i write here totally, they are not written when i'm clearly conscious. i have so much things to spill here but so little time! i can't wait till i'm in penang where i can online with REAL internet conection! it's so hard to blog cos the speed is indescribably 'fantastic'. guess i just have to wait a little longer before the mood and opportunity to write return.

what do i have to say about TARCollege internet service? CRAP!

updates?

2005-11-09T09:09:00.000+08:00

haven't blogged for quite sometime, the connection in the college is so damn slow, i'm impatient to wait for the pages to load forever. these few days have been quite fun although there are alot of work to be done but we go out lepaking as usual, nearly everyday. finally had the chance to savour Klang's mouth-watering bak kut teh! hoho....a friend from klang brought us there, it doesn't really live up to its popularity cos it isn't that great, but i wouldn't say it's bad either, the pork is ahhh so tender!

okie better go back to my practical class now, i actually snuck out in the middle of lesson to come online, god it's really seriously tak boleh tahan-ly too boring there. it's time to sneak back there to mark my attendance hehe...

Diwali....

2005-11-02T10:44:00.000+08:00

HAPPY DEEPAVALI!!!

just a greeting to all those celebrating this festival! hehe have a great new year and enjoy the holidays (unlike me, rushing assignments :( )

HAVE FUN~~

oh dread....wednesday

2005-11-02T10:16:00.000+08:00

i'm finally back in KL, typing from the college computer lab....my first class of the day has just ended and apparently only very few came, aiyo shouldn't have come back this early. even if we skip this practical class, i think the lecturer would be kind enough to mark us present anyway....

my 4-days back at home was nothing close to fun, however i enjoyed being at home, the cosiness, familiarity and warmth you get in your own house is non-comparable to anywhere else in the world. Even when i have zero things to do at home, slacking around watching tv and surfing the internet will just do for me. Not forgetting dinners everyday. Since i've been away from home, i've been missing those dinner time when all of us, parents and sis, would sit together to have mom's homecooked meal. When i was at home, we rarely miss out eating together during dinner time. Dinner is like a family thing, in my family, it is such that when we eat, we eat together. Dunno how many families still practise that nowadays but i'm sure glad mine is still doing so.

rats....have 3 assignments in hands now. one from each subject and yea i'm only doing 3 subjects this short sem and ALL of them have assignments due in either 1 or 2 more weeks time. what's worse is that i dread going to the library to do research, what a torture. and i thought i wanna take advantage of the raya period to go shopping since there won't be many cruising the malls these days, sudah balik kampung! heheh...better get going now, lecture.....

past whole week

2005-10-28T13:19:00.000+08:00

for the past 7 days, there's nothing special to blog about. life is a routine for me, as usual. going to classes, then back at hostel, grocery shopping, go mamak'ing, and it goes on.

On tuesday, i officially lost my internet connection after a second reminder from the network provider. okay lor it's cos i didn't pay up my fees for the month of Oct, damn expensive lah, it's not like the service is that great, not even close to satisfactory and it dares to charge us RM70 per month. For a connection which doesn't allow audio/video/p2p transfer, it's really bullshit. i'd rather spend my time at the college lab for the next 2 months. oooh then i'm off to PJ, and we can apply for Streamyx then hoho~

met up with joa n may again on wednesday, had a great time at Chilis, none of us manage to finish up our food. Chilis must have this 'never-finish-the-food' curse cos whenever i eat there i never did clear the plate, they serve too huge a portion. the 3 of us spent nearly 5 whole hours there just yakking away, was fun, it's always fun to chat with old friends and start gossiping.

and yesterday, i made a hasty decision to return to penang, after my tutorial at 10am, i called my dad to tell him i'm coming home that day. i skipped 11am lecture, went to Jusco with friends to get mom her birthday present at the last minute, then off to pudu, managed to get a 3.30 bus back. i actually got 2 tutorial replacement on Friday, and guess how nice and kind my lecturer is! i asked him whether he would be marking attendance since the tutorials would b carried out in the lecture hall and at first he said of course, after i told him i might be going back hometown, he said just go ahead and go back if you've got the ticket, i would mark you as present! DAMN UNBELIEVABLY NICE!! but he asked us not to tell! hahaha cute la.

during this puasa period, those puasa-ers really get special privileges just because they are fasting. my bus had to stop at a food centre halfway during my journey back at 7pm, because they have to buka puasa, i understand they had starved for the whole day and it's okie for them to go get their food, but do they have to take ONE hour to eat? if they are that gluttonous, just order some food to takeaway and don't keep the whole bus waiting lah! damn inconsiderate, it's so ridiculous that they can't even tahan for another hour since by then all of us would reach penang. eat some food to alas perut okie lah, but to join in a kenduri in the middle of the highway is idiotic.

oooh woohoo, i'm home! home home home! nowadays it's very cold no matter where i am ler, must be i'm gonna fall sick, cold lah, wear sweater liao still the same. my brain has frozen, it's not working very well hehe...update later

Keep away!

2005-10-21T21:31:00.000+08:00

Grumpy. I'm grumpy because i don't know why i'm grumpy. Woke up feeling grumpy this morning and throughout the whole day. Don't even know what caused my moodiness.

I've also discovered that when i'm in a bad mood, i tend to eat a lot, i feel hungry easily and crave for food even when i'm not exactly hungry. New understanding of myself, at least something good comes out of this hellish mood swing of mine.

yet another tiring day

2005-10-20T22:43:00.000+08:00

Feeling rather grumpy at the moment. Haven't been able to blog this few days mainly because i can't find the time and also the mood to write.

On Monday evening, i went for training at Shakey's, it's great that finally i had the opportunity to experience what it is like to work in food line, it was all about carrying trays, serving food/drinks, clearing the tables, wiping them, but we did not take orders cos we weren't really taught that. After the starved puasa-ing people left the restaurant with stuffed tummies one by one, the manager discussed some things with us. He told us it is compulsory to buy black shoes and black shirt or else he would be scolded by his boss. Thinking that it is only a temporary part time job, i told him i think i wouldn't be continuing if it is so, then i asked whether we would be paid for the night, haha he said no BUT he treated us a regular Hawaian Chicken pizza and drinks. was a really nice guy for certain, with good manners, which is obvious from the way he talks. and so yea, i decided not to work at Shakey's and just take up the data entry job but hasn't received any news from them up to today.

Fast forward to today, started out quite fine, went to klcc to watch Skeleton Key, it is indeed an interesting movie, it would be much more inquisitive if pmay had not told me the story...hehe however i still did enjoy the film...HOODOO. freaky. Next we just walked around klcc, it's amazing how the number of shoppers and loiterers decreased during the month of Ramadhan, and then when the clock strikes 7pm, you will see a stampede of puasa-ers moving to their targeted restaurants like ants to sugar. Quite a sight. i think they spend more on food during this season than on normal days to reward themselves for their self-control. Loads of them enter fancy restaurants with their families as if food there is free. Later we meet up with a friend who came all the way from Nilai and had dinner with him at wangsa maju. THAT was the time i began to feel my grumpiness building. didn't know what went wrong with myself. Perhaps i was just too tired..

Reached hostel to find my room mate talking on the phone and then she suddenly turn to me and tell me she is boiling water for me to bathe! awwww.....how good is my room mate, u tell me?!! she purposely boils water for me because she thinks the water is too cold and even takes the initiative to bring the hot kettle to the bathroom for me to pour! too nice too good, dunno what to say, feel kinda paiseh with her treating me so nicely.

late night venture walking back

2005-10-16T15:52:00.000+08:00

yesterday was a busy and sumhow wonderful day too. it started out quite uninterestingly but in the evening my frens tried all means to persuade me to get my butt out of the hostel and wander around wangsa maju like zombies with them cos they were too bored. i agreed with the condition that they must converse in english with me and ONLY english for one whole week, since there are 2 of them, well they bargained abit ler, so 3.5 days each, meaning 72hours, i'll do the counting. haha... it's really a big sacrifice for them, but well they wanted me to go with them so much....., darn, i sound so mean. :p

it happens to be their friend's birthday too today, so we decided to call him out for supper and wait till it strikes 12am and give him a lame surprise..... i suggested we do a special hand-made card for him and bought a chocolate mousse cup for him.. ..well quite tight on cash and they said they r not used to giving him gifts so that will do i guess, dunno since im not close to him at all, met him a few times n dats all. but supper was really fun, i sumhow can talk alot and go crazy with all of them, telling stupid jokes and funny things lah.

next thing we did was to borrow his hse toilet becos we wanted to give him a surprise and shock him with the mousse cup acting as birthday cake. search the whole damn house for a candle but to no avail. in the end, his room mate, a guy fr penang also wor, hehe he went to get a round candle and light it with the stove cos got no lighter, how sad. i then am responsible for distracting him from the others, they were preparing in his room, switch off light n all, after dat i brought him into the room, and wow how nice, he was soooo delighted! sang bday song and all bla bla bla, and chat all night, until 3.30am. they have class in the morning, so we gotta go back, and we were so crazy we walked back to the hostel. dead tired by then.

this semester is indeed different from previous ones.......

free free saturday!

it has been nearly a week here d, every single day was never a free day until today. thank god i don't have to go to any classes on saturdays anymore if not i might be mentally dead by now. about my part-time jobs, i don't even know whether i can handle it. have gone over the top when i was searching for a part time job. i didn't realise that i end up with such a busy schedule that i think i'm gonna be dead even before starting work.

first the data entry one, we bring back the data and key in, then send the soft copy back to them. sounds easy enough, yeah... but when we went for the explanation abt how to type and all, they asked us to do some typing for them to see, not just typing, we had to key in 10pieces of data and they'll see how fast we went. like some kinda test la. damn scary, kept doing mistakes, but the lady there said we did pretty good so well hehe ok. they'll be giving us around 2000pcs to do per week! god! i'm now doubting whether it is possible to finish it with studies in my hand too. guess it is okie since at least i can work on it following my own schedule instead of a fixed working time. by the way, the pay isn't that good. so when greed took over my head, wht did i do? followed a friend to go find another part-time job, damn i seriously need a check-up, now that i'm so free and conscious, i suppose i am crack. it all started when we were too 'mo liu', saw a notice saying they wanna hire part-timers and we went in straight into that restaurant. filled in a form reluctantly thinking that we wouldn't get the job anyway simply becos there r no non-malays working there. hahah...but what do u kno? the manager hired us straight n asked whether we can work during raya cos they really need some chinese as the malays will wanna balik kampung. so i ask la whether is there a double pay, and he said yes! wow delighted when we heard that. but after counting it ain't that much too. but it's okie since i'm thinking after raya i will stop anyway.

and now i officially have 2 jobs in hand, but both haven't started so i don't know what to expect. my mood was spoiled even more when our social psychology lecturer told us there'll be a presentation in Week6, oh just great! i thought i can take a rest fr presentation and hell it's back again.....wish myself good luck for this sem! haha... one thing i'm excited about is moving to PJ, but finding a room there is really troublesome.

lunch time now, food.......

dead tired

first things first, didn't get to do this yesterday so here it is....

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY

PING MAY!!!!

Thanks for the meal, may!! had a great time with you and joa, i felt so comfortable with you ppl, easier to communicate, i'm so pathetic, can't find people to speak to me in english for quite long liao in kl hehehe.. was fun chatting with you guys since i haven't seen you all in ages, yesterday was GREAT!

on a totally unrelated issue, i think i've gone crazy, feeling tired as hell now....yesterday after meeting up with may n joa, my friend came to find me in midvalley because she wanted me to accompany her to a seminar, something to do with e-commerce, so we went there at 8 and attended the presentation and after that, those people there, eventually tried to 'brainwash' me ler, i'm not bothered but just listen lor, then one of her friends drove us back to hostel at 11 something, was feeling like shit already so hadn't got the time to blog until now.

AND today, straight away after class, at 12pm, went to Kelana Jaya for a job, will update about me finding part-time jobs later cos i'm seriously exhausted right now, it's finally time for me to rest now, i better go ... dying..

and it continues....

walked to the lecture hall at 8am, first lesson of the semester is TAMADUN ISLAM! taught by Nizam, our malay lecturer. after listening to his mumblings, it's 10am already, was asked to celebrate classmate's birthday and shared for the cake, er...don't even know when is his birthday hehe. then i was free for the whole day, such boring life. came back, took a bath, sister called and talked to her for 1 and a half hours, then slept for 3 hours plus, woke up, online, dinner, chat with room mate, then hang out in friends' room, back to my room, talk to room mate & friends, and currently online.

what a great day hor!........

back to classes

2005-10-09T20:05:00.000+08:00

can't believe it has been 3 weeks already, time surely did fly! now, i'm right back in the hostel. the journey this afternoon was faster than usual considering it's a Sunday, the driver sped like crazy and he was talking on the phone too! reached the border of KL in 3.5 hours, imagine how fast the bus went. pudu area was jam packed with malays doing their shopping cos it's puasa time now n they r preparing for raya. took a taxi straight back to the hostel costing me rm30! but im not complaining since it's a relief i dun haf to walk around with a heavy luggage.

i'm so tired now, i can basically fall asleep anytime from now. my friend just informed me that we are having an 8am lecture tomorrow, damn....this is gonna be my first ever 8am class throughout the year! dis sem is not gonna be easy in the sense that i might oversleep and skip all the early classes. there's more, we won't have any break at all for the whole day from 8 to 2pm. crazy!

better go and get some sleep now....will write about my first day in third sem(the most miserable semester according to Jolene) tomorrow.

Talking about respect!?

remember when you were 17, what kind of a person you were? was just 2 years ago so still fresh in my memory. At least i know i'm not as immature and dumb as some kids nowadays who are already gonna sit for their SPM but are still acting like 12year-olds. what makes me say this?
well, if for the past one whole week you are connected to msn, this bunch of 17 year-olds keep inviting you to their conversation which also includes many other retarded 17 year-olds, i'm sure you will be saying maybe nastier things than me. i can bear all that, maybe they are just tryign to make new friends and chat with new people. but isn't it obvious that i do not like it when i choose to just leave the chatbox? they continue adding me into the conversation for countless times after i leave, and everytime i shut it off, the cycle continues. so i thought maybe i should talk even though i'm boiling inside, here's what i said and the type of response i got from the idiots.

(upon seeing them discussing abt SPM)
me: so u guys r taking spm soon?
idiot: yes
bitch: yea
me: oh means u r all xiao mei mei and xiao di di lor
bitch: haha u must be very old
me: no la dun use the word old
me: jus use mature (note that im only joking)
bitch: then how old are u? over 20?
me: no no choy not that old
me:im turning 19 soon
bitch: if you are not an old lady,
bitch: you are not qualified to call ppl xiao mei mei
me: issit? what's wrong with being young? y so offended?
bitch: pls dun be a second kanasai here
bitch: we want peace ........................

the rest is not important....

what's her problem? is it a crime to be young? so childish, childish enough to simply add ppl into the conversation and even more childish when she can't accept facts....lame. and later hinted that some ppl shouldn't be in the chat. Yea chicken, i kno its me, like i begged them to invite me in!

Teenagers nowadays....saddening. Go take a look around Prangin Mall if you dunno what i mean.

english...engrish...england?

i know it just make sense if we were supposed to understand and speak our mother tongue. So when you are a chinese, every other chinese every where else would expect you to know the language too (well, most of the time it's mandarin). But this isn't exactly the case, right? English-educated people do exist in this country too, remember? and i bet only a small number of them are 'bananas' since it's either they understand but can't speak or they can do both. After comtemplating whether to write abt this or not becos i might offend ppl but who cares lah it's my blog. i had this conversation with a friend the other day about how chinese-educated people, mostly teenagers, get offended when people strike a conversation with them in English. Apparently to them, speaking in English would suggest that the speaker is showing off. With this kind of mentality, how are they supposed to improve on their language? Some chinese-ed teenagers consider their peers as stuck-up smart ass wannabes when all they are trying to do is practise to speak a few sentences of english and that actually gains them 'The Glare' from fellow schoolmates? i'm not saying this in jest or as an exaggeration. This is seriously what SOME of those kids are thinking since my mom's time. You see, i brought up this issue with her and according to her it has always been this way in school, she was from a chinese school, whenever there were students who spoke in english, the others would straight away take him/her as showing off. trust me, this little 'tradition' of theirs still carries on till today.

whatever it is, why must they think that way of the language? It is ONLY a language for goodness' sake. do you think they can actually improve on their verbal skills if they dun start speaking using english? English is undeniably the most important language for ppl to survive in this world, look everywhere around you, the internet, books, tv, road signs, printed materials, now do you dare tell me that it's not important? our education syllabus is based on the language too, in colleges and universities. But this shallow group of people just fail to admit that it is a disadvantage to not fully be able grasp it well. And so they choose to blame others of commiting an act of arrogance. I myself had sum sort of disagreement with such ppl too in Lower Six. Working in the committee for a function, a group of us had to deal with a bunch of such ppl and imagine all of us were supposed to be co-operating and discuss things. Knowing us, we would jus chatter away in english jus like any other time and thinking dat everyone understands english since it's an international language, it's ALWAYS okie to do dat. So wrong we were, that bunch of people got upset and accused us of deciding and discussing things only among ourselves neglecting them. Fortunately, everything went smoothly after a while and we even managed be friends.

Anyway, the point is, don't stereotype english-educated people as stuck-up bitches just becos they don't speak mandarin like you do. Ever considered the thought that perhaps some of us might want to learn chinese but weren't given the opportunity at all? Well, still we have an excuse for not knowing chinese becos we are not taught that subject in school, BUT chinese-ed ppl are already given the advantage of mastering both chinese and english and what do most of them do, they put it to waste refusing to accept it and put it at the same level with the importance of chinese. oh and later when they have difficulties in interpreting English, they will say things like, "Oh u kno la, i'm from chinese school so my english not good ma","we cannot speak english la","my english is so bad, how to pass the subject, u ppl good la can easily pass". Ya like it's our fault you choose not to learn while you can. Plain childish.

After i go to KL, i'm really shocked to see the number of people in my college who doesn't speak the language at all. In class alone, listening to some of them....sorry to say this but the standard of english here is depressing. and as time goes by, they start to regret not learning/practising/conversing in english, at least i know my mom sure did. when they are young they hated it, and then when they grow up they regret it.

One more thing, whoever who reads this and you happen to be chinese-educated, please don't be angry or get offended becos im not pointing finger at ALL the chinese-ed around, those that i mentioned are just ppl i know personally, people i had seen and stuff i hear from my mom AND neither am i angry at them for whatsoever reason, it's like a discovery i had found and wanna blog about.

All this is my own opinion only and not everyone will of cos see it the way i do, so peace out.

p/s: i can't sleep so gotta occupy my mind to make myself sleepy and yes half successful d.................

wisdom.......i don't have meh?

2005-10-06T01:47:00.000+08:00

woke up as early as 10.30am in the morning, since i came back, i haven't woken up that early. the reason was to meet up with jolene and rach at prangin mall. had our lunch at wongkok, only the 2 of us ate cos rach is on vegetarian. then we found out jolene ordered dis 'peanut dessert' which rach n i think is not a very healthy food, haha... it is brownish and sticky, you get what i mean? we sat at wongkok for quite long until the waiters came to ask whether we wan a second order...cheh~... had a great time chatting abt nearly everything and yay rach is coming to kl soon too!

then it was me and jo walking ard prangin then watched Flight Plan, it was quite good, not a bad movie and interesting enough. it warns us that being a flight engineer is a very dangerous job which will end our family up in horrible incidents.

wasn't a bad day at all, at least better than me hanging out alone at home all the time, life won't suck as much if only i have a car! i want a car! i want a car! nah...jus me dreaming ler.. and it certainly would help if my flu and coughing go away, then i can eat anything i want again when my gums decided not to get swollen anymore, i for sure do not need a wisdom tooth since im already so wise you see. but no... my body thinks im stupid and for days already that pathetic tooth tries to get out and still trying to push its way through, ahh just give it up lah, will only cause me more pain.

nvm, i kno i need to drink more water and stuff myself with MORE ice-cream! hehehe

Struck by the wind huh?

2005-10-04T15:25:00.000+08:00

All i do this break is downloading loads of videos, i finished watching the first season of Desperate Housewives and am waiting eagerly for the second season. shouldn't be downloading more files right now cos my hdd might really go berserk if i continue, therefore Season2 can wait. As usual i am real bored, watched Windstruck yesterday and OMG i could easily identify it as the best movie i've ever watched so far in my entire life...for now.

Everyone on earth just got to watch this absolutely fantastic movie! For those of you who have no idea what i'm blabbling about, it's a korean movie, a prequel to "My Sassy Girl" which was quite popular when it came out. I thought My Sassy Girl was good, but its prequel is even better!! the storyline is fabulous. It has everything a movie should have, comedy, action, romance, a twist and good actors. you have to watch it to get what i am talking about.

Starring Jeon Ji-Hyun & Jang Hyeok, this awesome movie ranks 3rd in Japanese Box Office. that just goes to show how good it is.

I am not gonna add spoilers for this, go watch it for yourself, it is more interesting and exciting that way. perhaps, when i feel like doing so i will hehe.

For those who are on broadband, go download it from any P2P s/w or bittorrent. No one should possibly miss this movie! It is one of the best korean flick okie!

Sleepless night

2005-10-04T04:12:00.000+08:00

I ought to be sleeping at this hour but heck went to bed half an hour ago but couldn't sleep at all, and i thought i'm gonna correct my screwed up routine to wake up on more sensible hours in the morning. My plan failed miserably since it is already 4AM in the morning! Yet what am i doing online blogging? My worries of pimples and zits popping out continue. As i'm typing this now, i can even feel them forcing their way our of my skin, tearing the membrane and wanting to go 'pop'.

It is raining kinda heavily now, darn cold. It's so cold that it affects my breathing, it is not enough that i have a sore throat and gums pain(growing a wisdom tooth...again), now i can't breathe properly. So since i can't sleep anyway, got up and gave myself a dose of asthalin hoping that the attack won't come in these few days as i have got to really enjoy the last few moments of my free time before i'm back in kl. Despite the heavy rain, it is not to be blamed, serve me right for eating too much ice-cream and drinking 100plus. Don't know what has gotten over my mom's head, she bought cartons of 100plus and i mean it when i use the word cartonS.

This blog is really new..such a lazy ass to add things to it, maybe the reason i am not granted sleep tonight is to add more colours to my blog....don't bother lah, i wanna sleep! but when i lie there, i can't fall asleep. ahhh my time is so fucked up, the evil of holidays!

My revival..

2005-10-04T03:36:00.000+08:00

fine fine...i know i said i would leave the blogging world haha but just couldn't resist the temptation from my itchy fingers ok. anyway the reason i stopped blogging was because as usual i am pretty lazy and somehow i got bored of the layout, it annoys me ler.

having my semester break now, it has been 2 weeks since i 'goyang kaki' at home much to my dislike, yes i don't like being such a heavy-assed good-for-nothing penggoyang kaki also ok but but but there is really nothing meaningful lest to say enjoyable that i could really do ALONE! those penang people are always busy with studies, revisions, tuitions, i am not blaming them cos i already feel damn scared for them since stpm is so horribly near, less than 2 months?! not forgetting now they are having their trials so it is only right that i don't disturb them this time around..hehe and that leaves me to being lonely and abandoned and bored and depressed and i foresee that i might be blind in the future due to long hours spent in front of the monitor screen. however, that seriously do not stop me from going online practically the entire day AND night, downloading songs, movies, softwares till my hdd is going to explode anytime soon. i only have 20Gb in my pc and that is definitely not enough, so now my comp is bloody slow, everything i do is delayed for 10 seconds, imagine that!

So for my first entry on a brand new blog, i'm going to make this post as meaningful and thoughtful as it can be, making use of my intellectual intelligence and high IQ and EQ, i am therefore gonna think of the most knowledgeable information i keep in this great mind of mine and make it known to the ignorant people who are actually reading my ridiculous nonsensical blog, yes i would like to congratulate you too for being able to put up with my absurdity until this very last word. Boo!
