I'll be moving to a new site. =)

Waste food? or not?

2010-11-07T15:50:00.001+08:00

I used to work part-time for a confectionery shop many years ago and I got shock on the first night I was there because they throw away all the small buns [that's what my ex-colleagues called those breads on trays, without any packaging] that they can't sell. All the buns are freshly made on the day itself and sometimes some are still warm when we throw them away! Business wise, maybe it's acceptable since they are only selling fresh buns to customers. But if you talk about wasting food, I think that's like totally unacceptable! I used to asked my supervisor whether there's any other way to dispose these breads like giving them away or something but she told me no because the company wouldn't allow it. After working for some time there, I noticed that there's always someone out there taking away the big bags of buns after the shop was closed. Thank god I always tried to keep the buns clean by separating other waste in other smaller plastic bags because someone needs the buns!

This few days, I saw many people are sharing a video clip in FB, including me. It's about how people are wasting food and starvation. Almost everyone put the same comment for this particular video, saying that they won't waste food anymore.

I've seen this video long ago and back then, the first thing that came to my mind is just like everyone else; try not to waste any food. But this time around, when I was watching this clip, I had a totally different thing in mind. It may sounds absurd [I'm not finding excuses for me to feel better when I waste any food]. It's just that I was thinking, if everyone finished all their foods and there's always no leftover in any restaurant, what are these poor souls going to eat?

So, waste food, or not?

Enlighten me, if you will.

It's already November

2010-11-02T20:18:00.000+08:00

Time flies! It's already November! Today is already my second day in this new company. I got to say I love my job! [At least for now lar] Busy! Busy! Busy!

Basically, I have to visit all outlets the company has in Klang Valley together with two colleagues for this two weeks, prepare daily report, compile them after two weeks and do a presentation. So basically, I spent most of my working hours driving and walking in shopping malls. Working in shopping malls is awesome, except that you walk and walk and walk and you get blister T__T The "shopaholic disease" is either going to get better because I'm going to get immune and bored looking at the goods or it's going to get worse because I know which shopping mall and departmental store is having sale! And I can foresee that it's going to get worse after I earn enough because for now I'm not earning enough to shop; my salary can only cover all my basic expenses and monthly commitments.

So far, everything is good and I'm happy because we have the flexibility to plan our own schedule and get our job done in our very own way for two weeks. It's actually like doing assignment except that I have to walk a lot. Trust me, ALOT! Oh, did I mention I have a pretty colleague? Haha.

I'm happy and I hope all of you are happy with your job! Good luck to those in KL, Penang, Johor, the lion city and the only one in Nilai XD

Alright, got to go bath and get the report done. Night, everyone! =)

My new ♥

2010-10-28T23:09:00.000+08:00

I love to take pictures but I was never good at it and I found myself secretly shooting envious glances to people carrying DSLR everywhere they go and captured lotsa really nice pics. Then I found something interesting! Yes! It's Lomo! Have heard and read about lomography for some time and had finally got myself an "entry-level" lomo cam together with 5 different types of films after months of contemplation. =D

Here are some pics I took yesterday at Sepang Gold Coast. Using Kodak Professional Ektar 100 film. Let's see how the camera and the film do wonders to the photo =D

I have no money and also dare not invest on a DSLR for I am such a tech-idiot. So, I got myself a toy camera with a very small price tag [everyone could easily afford one, no problem] and I always like old things, vintage stuff. So, I guess maybe that's why I find shooting using film is so much fun! Best of all is the anticipation after you ask the shop to develop your films!

I think I have found myself a new hobby =D But it's actually an quite expensive hobby with the films price range from RM10 to RM22 each and the cost of developing and scanning the films and not to mention that sometimes you get "fail-shots", wasting the films [or was it just me? coz I'm a noob =(] Still, I think toy camera is more like my cup of tea compare to high-tech cam. Really, I beh seh dak spend so much on a single camera =p

Till then, I shall experiment more, and with other films =D

A happening week

2010-10-19T14:58:00.004+08:00

My dead-water-like life finally had some ripples. If you were to compare to all other weeks where I spent everyday stoning at home, last week was a happening week.

* * * * * * * * * *

After god-knows-how-long, I've finally went to a "proper" night market where there's smelly tofu, flavored tao fu fa, curry fishball and any other foods a proper night market should have. I hate crowded places where you have to raise your voice so the stall owner knows what you want, where everyone's arms have to brush against each others' while walking but that night I found myself enjoyed strolling among the boisterous crowd, feeling alive.

* * * * * * * * * *

The following night, I went to Adam Lambert concert. Thanks to Teoh and Teo for the free ticket. =p

Yep, it's the first time I've been to a concert.

There's not much fun being in a concert, especially when you're not a fan. But it was an eye opening experience to see all the die-hard fans spent a whooping 300 bucks for a ticket and queued up early just to be at the front of the queue. There's some Islamic extremist there too, giving out leaflets against Lambert. But that was kind of funny lor, since almost everyone there was his fans.

Teo, YY and Teoh

The only souvenir I got that night is two bloody blisters! =(

* * * * * * * * * *

Friday night, we had a small gathering at Pavilion because wander boy happens to be in KL. Had dinner at Sushi Tei and headed to Changkat after Boon Yong and Emily arrived.

And that unfamiliar face in the picture is Adrian - Darren's childhood friend

* * * * * * * * * *

It was a long and tiring night! Reached Nilai, took a shower, changed into fresh clothes and head straight away to college after pick up some breakfast in 7-11. If you don't already know, I signed up for the white water rafting activity organized by Mei Peng. There goes another looooooooooong journey in the bus; all the way to Raub, Pahang and the activity took place at a place called Jeram Besu.

No picture to show, except this
I'm waiting for them to burn all the pics in the CD =)

It was not as fun as I thought it would be. Plus, I can't swim. So, that's totally a let down! I was totally a failure in the water! *Sigh* I should have learn to swim! =( Worse than the concert, I've got two souvenirs from this trip, pus in the blister I got earlier because the sand got inside and trapped in there T__T and sunburn on my nose that have just started to peel T__T

* * * * * * * * * *

Sunday was a good day because I had lotsa great foods because of my little cousin brother's 1st birthday. =D After one whole tiring day and got sunburn, it was so gooooood to take big bites of foooooods, knowing that I've burn off some calories the day before. [Like I ever care how much calories and fat I consume XD]

That's the happening week I had. What about yours?

Great buy!

2010-10-03T21:56:00.000+08:00

Okay, I know this blog is getting boring and lifeless but that's exactly how my life is right now! =( Plain boring! And yes, no matter how much I hate to admit it, I'm still unemployed now. FML.
Anyway, I'm still actively looking for a job now and actively attending interviews until now that I hate interviews! FML x 2

I vowed that no matter I like it or not, if I accepted any job offer, I'm gonna learn to LOVE my job! No more quitting! No matter what! You have my words!

* * * * * * * * * *

The other day I found out that Ice Room has a new branch in Kajang. How nice! I love their shaved ice! The shop is just opposite my high school and I was having a nostalgia rush seeing the students playing basketball and walking around the school. How I miss high school! [But not the homework. lol]

Durian and Mango shaved ice *slurp*

Let's bid oldtown farewell and make our next gathering at Ice Room! =p Seriously, no more gathering at oldtown!

Ohh yes, let's not forget the great buy! The other day I happened to be in Amcorp Mall and finally paid a visit to BookXess. I should have come to this place earlier! The books here are really cheap! Though you can't always find all the books you want here, still it's a good place to shop for cheap books. And if you dig hard enough in the shop, you might find something you want. =D

Can you believe I spent only 100 bucks for all these?!

Usually, 100 bucks can only buy at most 3 books in normal book store. This is sooooooo cheap!

And guess how much "The book of tomorrow" cost? Yes, the purple-colour book. It's only RM19.90! And it's the bigger-sized book! If not mistaken, this cost at least 50 to 60 in MPH. Sidney Sheldon's is average RM17.90 per book! MPH online price is still much higher than RM17.90. Go check their website and you'll know. The best thing is you spend RM100 and you'll get a free membership for 3 years and get more discounts the next time you come back. The only drawback is the membership card can only be ready for collection after 2 weeks. Whatever lar, cheap books so I think it's worth it. =p If you want to know more about BookXcess, click here. =D

Talking about books reminds me of Charlie St. Cloud. Finished reading the story the other day and I like the story; I like how it surprised and touched me and I want to watch that movie soooo much but no one wants to go with me T.T Anyone interested?

Okay, there's another site I want to share that offer great discounts in many shops you can find in shopping malls called Groupsmore. Not sure if you have heard about MyDeal, Groupsmore is basically something like MyDeal where they sell discount vouchers; some of the vouchers help you save more than 50%! You can find discount vouchers for foods, spas, beauty services, apparel and even games. I have yet to buy any of those, but I'm sure everyone is interested in paying less for more! Who knows, maybe when need arises, you might find some discounts very useful or maybe you can buy first and I'm sure the need will come right after XD

So, click here if you're interested to find out what Groupsmore is offering. And here's the link to MyDeal, if you want to find out what they are offering too. =)

Feel so fulfilled after typing a looooong entry! I'm a happy girl now. Till then, wait patiently until I have something else to share =)

Nom Nom

2010-09-27T22:16:00.001+08:00

This entry is all about food because I can't think of anything else to write other than that. How pathetic =(

In the previous entry, I mentioned that I've finally tried Tenji. That was actually my pre-birthday celebration because he thought he won't be in Malaysia on my birthday. Anyway, life is unpredictable and it turned out that he was here on that day and will be staying here now!

So, I had another treat from him. =p Plan kept changing and we ended up in Tony Roma's in Pavillion.

The signature lamb cutlets were good! *drooling*
The salmon fillet was huge but not fresh! T.T
Others were just so-s0.

Went to KL Tower after dinner. We were late so we didn't stay too long.

Standing up there and looking down to the busy KL city makes me feel so tiny

KL Tower

And yesterday I brought my mom to this vegetarian restaurant in Puchong. FYI, my mom is a vegetarian. Hmm, more like a non-meat eater actually.

Foods are Loving Hut!
They even have vegetarian sushi =D
The food were actually quite nice [at least better than most vege restaurant in Kajang], worth trying =)

Guess that's all for now, just blog to let you know I'm still alive =p

Singapore (4th - 9th Sept 2010)

2010-09-12T22:06:00.001+08:00

So, here it is. The Singapore trip entry. Actually, there's nothing much to blog about because I didn't do any touristy thing there, like visiting the zoo and marine sands. Okay, to make up, I took one picture at the Merlion Park. Yea, that's it, the only touristy thing I did. Initially, I thought I was going to cancel the trip because of the accident [if you remember]. Anyway, I still book a ticket and went. So, the decision is err kind of like last minute. The worst thing is I forgotten that I'm a digi user now and I don't have international roaming. So, basically I can't make or receive any calls or even sms when I step in the Lion City and I didn't notice that until I need to make a call =S But I was really really lucky to met a really really kind Singaporean who lend me his phone to make a call, or I should said a few calls and SMSes and even accompanied me at the bus stop until Bi Yang came. How lucky I was!!!

The first day was tiring because of the 5-hour bus ride and all the walking with the luggage. The first thing I do in Singapore is eat! I was so hungry! No breakfast, no lunch!

And this is the first meal I had the whole day.
Some Fu Zhou Seafood Mee. Even though I was starving, I find it err ... not very nice =p

The next day, woke up late and had brunch at this place which, according to the book I bought, had won some kind of award for their duck rice. To my biggest disappointment, I find duck rice back in Malaysia is way more delicious than that!

The duck rice

No idea what it this but it's kind of tasteless =S

Side dish that comes together with the kuey teow-like food above

The rest of the day? I spent it all looking for affordable hotels to stay in =S And the cheapest, most decent-looking hotel I got cost around RM600 for four-night stay and I'm aching because someone's wallet is bleeding because he was the one paying for the hotel =(

The third day, which was a Monday, Ying and Sing Yee came and we went shopping in Bugis Street and we saw Emily in Bugis Junction! XD

See! We think of you wherever we go! =p
All three of us took turn to take this pic but I find Sing Yee's is nicer, so I put this up =p

And I finally met with Piggie that night! Too bad, no pictures of us; only the desserts we had in Bugis Junction.

Green Tea ice cream with cheese cake ..
Highly recommended by piglet!
Maybe I had too high of an expectation because she told me this is very nice, I'm a little disappointed. But, it's not too bad because it's not too sweet or taste too much like cheese XD [FYI, I'm not a fan of cheesecake]

Sesame ice cream with ice red bean

I have no idea what it's called but the portion is huge!

The third day, I went shopping alone at Bugis Street again coz don't feel like going somewhere too far alone. I literally dragged myself back to the hotel because of the stomach ache and I couldn't get a cab T.T I had stomach ache everyday when I was in Singapore. Imagine that, everyday! And the worst day was the third day because when I got back to the hotel, I threw up so badly till my throat hurts =S But thank god, I felt so much better after that. Without wasting time, I head straight down to the front desk, called a cab and went to Joo Chiat Road to get the infamous cake for his birthday!

Oh yes, the shop's name is Obolo.
According to the book I bought, the shop owner was an architect and he gave up his high-pay job and started this patisserie because of his passion in baking.
I saw him in the shop and he's young and very polite =)

New York and Noisette; the two bestseller
Oh, I love the succulent strawberries on New York and they're huge and sweet!

And Noisette, the chocolate-type cake which I thought I won't like but it surprised me!
It was soooooo nice! There's something crunchy inside, not nuts and I suppose it's something called praline feulletine [that's what I read from the menu]
Gosh, this is so nice! I wish they have this in Malaysia =(
If you think Secret Recipe is nice, wait till you try this!
It even beats the cake that cost RM15 per slice I had in Megan Avenue years ago!
Anyway, great thing came with great price too. They are not cheap.

Macaroons
Clockwise: Raspberry, Mango-Passion, Hazelnut-Chocolate and Bittersweet chocolate
They had so many types but I asked the owner to choose only four for me coz it cost S$2.20 each! Again, the one I thought I won't like turned out to be the best!
Bittersweet chocolate was the best!

Array of cakes

Different types of macaroons
So colourful that I feel like getting one of each colour!

I'm glad that we had at least two slice of cake for the little birthday celebration. I hope he like it. =)

The next day, I went shopping alone again after lunch. This time being adventurous, I tried to find the way to Suntec City Mall but ended up in Citilink Mall and finally got something for Ying there. We planned to exchange gifts after our trip in Johor and Singapore. So, that's what the gift is for =p And I finally have the guts to go somewhere farther, stopped at Tangs at Orchard and got myself a cute little bag and head to Far East Mall. There's so many nice and cheap stuff in there and I only managed to finish two floors. =( I should have come to this place earlier!

Oh, before I forget, there are some good foods in Singapore too and not just all bad and tasteless foods lar.
This petai with minced meat is goooooood!
It makes me felt like I was home though the petai my mom cooked is nothing like this one. =p

And this fruit juice stall in Chinatown is famous for its cactus juice. But too bad, I don't have the nerve to try it =( I ordered passion fruit juice instead. Something good about this is they are genuine fruit juice and the boss used 4 passion fruits to prepare my drink, something I can only enjoy at home! All the passion fruit juice I had in restaurants or cafe or anywhere else in Malaysia are made out of syrup.

And there's so many other types!
Wheatgrass, coconut, bitter gourd, calamansi, kiwi, apple, guave, dragon fruit etc

Oyster omelette

And fried prawn mee in Wisma Atria's Food Republic
The queue was so long that I decided not to look around and just follow the crowd =p

Tong shui at Hua Tuo Guan
Very expensive!! S$3 each bowl but they were really nice!
And this really made me miss my mom's tong shui!

The must-take-shot in Singapore XD
At Merlion Park
Look at how beautiful Marina Bay Sands is!
I'll make sure I pay a visit the next time! =)

Ohhhh .. one last thing! I've finally tried Tenji! I personally think Zanmai or Sakae serve better sushi .. but the grilled lamb and tiramisu there were nice! Especially the tiramisu! Yum!!

Hmmm ... That's all for now! I shall get to bed now coz I had an interview tomorrow morning! Good night, everyone! =)

I'm back

2010-09-11T21:41:00.000+08:00

I'm back! Actually I'm already back since Thursday. Just too tired to blog. And I still am too tired to blog, I just don't seem to get enough sleep, I don't know why. Maybe I've done too much of walking for a week. Seriously, I walked non stop for the past 6 to 7 days; walked in Singapore when I was there and in shopping mall when I'm back. Literally, I can sleep while I was walking but still I went out everyday =S I'll blog about the trip after I get enough rest. =)

My room is a mess, it was already like a war zone back when I was working. Need to clean the room and take out stuffs I no longer need! Spent 3 hours yesterday night and I've only done 1/3 of it. I shall continue with the wardrobe and dresser later!

p/s: don't put too much hope on the trip's entry, it's going to be real boring [at least that's what I think you'll feel] And now, whenever I think of Singapore, I think off stomach ache =S

If you don't already know

2010-09-01T23:39:00.000+08:00

Okay, if you don't already know, I got involved in an accident last Friday and is still in shock now. Anyway, I should be grateful because that guy is okay. You had no idea how terrified I was =S And this accident made me realized who are the one that I can count on when I am facing problems and I know how some friends are really good beyond words can describe. A friend of mine who was still deep in sleep came to my rescue right after receiving my call, and it's 7.30 in the morning! Not to mention he took half-day leave to calm me down, accompanied me in the police station and sent me to the hospital to check on the guy. If he's not there, I really don't know what should I do, given my own father showing me a very reluctant face to help upon arriving. And I realized that whenever I had major problems, this friend of mine is always there, lending a helping hand and supporting every decision I make. *touched*

I had an interview at Jalan Ampang last Sunday and a million thanks to another friend of mine who was kind enough to sacrifice his sleeping time and petrol to send me there and waited me for one and a half hour outside! I really didn't know it's going to take so long! I'm really sorry!! =( And thanks a lot!!! Believe me, no words could express my gratitude!! Despite always complaining about how things always turned out bad for me, I'm really grateful to be blessed with friends like that!

Again, if you don't already know, I'm going to Singapore this coming Saturday! Ohh, nope, plan changed, I'll be heading down to JB first, then only to Singapore. Hopefully, snap lotsa nice pics! My lappie don't have any single pics now except Langkawi trip pics I happened to save in my hard disk. Ko lian dai =( And if you pay close attention, this blog has become a picture-less blog ever since I-also-donno-when. So, hopefully I can take new pics and post them up!

Till then, I shall get ready to sleep so I have energy to shop tomorrow! =D

So now I know why the crappy connection!

2010-08-24T21:34:00.000+08:00

So, I've suffered long enough because of the super sucky internet connection. Imagine, 3 weeks! 3 weeks of unbelievably terrible connection! I'm not really a heavy internet user, I hardly download any songs and nowadays I'm so lazy that I didn't even load any YouTube clips [okay, maybe one or two] Still, without internet, my life is miserable! Haih, modern-day sickness lar =S

Two days ago, I got my bill from maxis and was shock to see that the amount I have to pay is double of what I usually pay. So, apparently, they thought I didn't pay last month. The problem is, the last time I paid is on 1st August! How can that happen at all?! Now, I understand why I had 3 weeks of crappy connection. =S Fuming, I dug out all the receipts and finally found the one for Maxis and went to their center after work today.

With the look on the staffs' face, I knew it's their fault! But they keep insisting that they have already key in or something like that lar!! But they can't even look into my eyes for 10 seconds! *geram* They can't even admit it's their fault and I have paid for nothing! And FYI, I'm still having a super unstable turtle-speed connection now! I really beh tahan! I'm going to send a complaint email tomorrow, with the better connection somewhere else!

Let's see what they're going to do! >.<

Tiring day

2010-08-20T23:45:00.001+08:00

Yesterday was a very tiring day, and a very busy day too. Got a call from a recruitment agency few days ago and I decided to attend the interview since it's a management trainee post. So I took a day off yesterday to attend the interview and to settle all other things too.

The whole interview took less than 15 minutes but it took like 2 hours before my turn, there were so many interviewees!=S Anyway, the interview questions were easy but the toughest part is also because of the easy questions. The toughest of all is "Where do you see yourself in five years time?" =S I remember I've done this [or something similar] before in self-awareness class last time but still I hate this question. I really don't know what I'll be like 5 years later because I don't even have a target now, as in a job I have passion in it. I thought I wouldn't be shortlisted but at the same evening, I got a call from the lady in the recruitment agency who congratulated me for being shortlisted and told me that I'm required to attend an assessment [something like a team building camp] next week. But I think I won't be going coz I can't take leave anymore as I've submitted my resignation letter and the most important reason of all is I don't feel excited to be shortlisted and is not really interested to work for the company. So, I think no point to attend coz I know it is not going to bring me anywhere.

I kept asking myself the same questions over and over again these days - "What if I can never find the right job?", "What if I can never find a job that I truly have passion in?" Sometimes, I really feel like giving up and settle for a "less perfect" choice I have at the moment. But I just couldn't do that yet. Maybe I'm still holding the tiniest bit of hope I can find what I want out there.

I thought of giving up and go back to further my studies since I probably can get a scholarship now. But then I asked myself what's the point of going back to school if I don't even know what to study and where it will bring me. I'm just merely looking a way out of my misery and that's not going to solve the problem because sooner or later, I'll have to face the same problem again.

Anyway, I've sent out a few applications. Now, all I need to do is wait. Hopefully there's more good news coming.

The "reason"

2010-08-18T22:19:00.000+08:00

I'm so tired and the internet connection is a bitch! Literally, I'm tired everyday even though I have no idea why am I so tired. Got back home after work, makan, bath, online for a while and then I head straight to my bed and this goes on like everyday, except the days I'm not working. I don't even have the time and mood to blog! [though I really don't know what should I write with an empty brain]

I really miss school time! No matter how many assignments I have, how difficult they are, how I have to burn midnight oil, I never feel so exhausted and I even had insomnia. I used to be a light sleeper, even a tiny beep on my phone can wake me up but nowadays, I had so deep sleep that the phone need to riiiiiiiiiing like mad only I can wake up. Why huh? Perhaps, you really need passion in things you do. [Something I truly believe in!] I don't hate to go to work, don't even have Monday blue [maybe just yet], but I just don't have passion in my current job. I gave up some higher-pay-offer, rejected all other interviews and accepted this job because I thought it is something I'm looking for and something I will love but sadly, it turns out that it is not. I always say one must love something in order to excel in it and even if you don't love it, make yourself love it if you have no choice. I don't love my job but don't get me wrong, I don't hate it either and my colleagues and bosses are all nice people. It's just that I know I have other choices, maybe better choices. So, I decided not to waste everybody's time and seek a new career path.

I feel super duper stress now because I have to make my next choice a RIGHT one! The problem is I don't even know how am I going to determine which is the right choice. *Sigh* I will be really really hate to disappoint anyone again.

*Sigh* Life is all about making choices and now I find that it's not as easy as it seems with all the pressure people give you. Seriously, school time is the BEST!!

It's Monday again tomorrow

2010-08-15T22:06:00.002+08:00

I suddenly feel overwhelmingly sad at the thought of not being able to play some patterns with my hair [it's not like I'm very pandai in that lar]. I just suddenly miss my long hair. I miss it up to the extent that I googled hair extention. After reading through some of the articles and blogs about that, I gave up that stupid thought of mine.

Anyway, back to the title. It's going to be Monday again. No, I don't have Monday blue because I have decided to send in my resignation letter tomorrow. You might think, "Huh?! so fast?!" Yes, I agree it's fast but sometimes things are hard to explain. And this is my life, my career and my future, so I think I have the right to do anything I want [anything I think is appropriate] with it. For those who start judging, please stop or I'll hate you!

Till then, I'm waiting to receive good news.

p/s: M.C.N.S.L.P.P.D, if you're reading this, I hope you can find your true calling.

My convo!

2010-08-11T22:31:00.000+08:00

The title says it all! Last Saturday was my big day, which is also the day that officially put an end to my college life. I'm sad to put it this way but it's the truth, no more college life now! =( [unless I spend more money to get a master full time, which is not an option at the moment]

After 3 years, slogging through countless assignments and exams [in the freezing cold president hall] and after all the joy, tears and sweat, I've finally graduated! And yes, got the most valuable paper on earth [we spent more than 60k just to get that piece of paper] with three words that make me feel all the effort had paid off well. I really hope ma is proud of me. No words could ever express my gratitude for all the sacrifices she made for me and to say she is a great mom is an understatement! I really, really hope my little achievement made her proud and happy! [Now, I feel regretted for not being selfish in the beginning and ask her to come early and sit in the hall to witness my glory moment. =(]

* * * * * * * * * *

I have not gotten any original copy of the photos taken on that day. All the pics posted here are the pics I "stole" from Facebook. XD So, if you want to view more pictures, check out my facebook page =)

The classic pic and a must-take-shot

The most important thing of all!

Yes, that very expensive piece of paper

I've achieved one of the main goals in my life. Something that I didn't even think is possible, even in my dream a few years back. I'm really happy that I made it. There's a saying goes like this: You missed 100% of the shot you didn't take. So, everything is possible if you're willing to give it a try!

I'm in dilemma again for some time and now I think I got the answer and know what I should do.

Hmmm ... there's still a long journey ahead.

Six sense

2010-08-10T22:17:00.001+08:00

I've been keeping this to myself for so long until I couldn't remember when it first started. Finally today I've let it all out. Nothing big, just something I have been wondering for a long time.

I felt the burning urge to write this down because I have wanted to post this for like maybe a year ago [can't remember already] but suddenly I am lost of words and had no idea what to write now.

I can only say, while normal people have only five senses, we, women have six and most of the time they are so accurate. All this while, I thought I was the only one who feel it or I should say sense it. Until today, it turned out that everybody, at least all the girls knew it all along and being girls, even gossip about it. And the ironic thing is that even strangers can see that! [I can't believe I've keep doubting my six sense before this]

This has once again proved that actions speak louder than words!

p/s: Need some time to choose and resize the convo pics, be patient kay =D

Graduation!

2010-08-09T22:57:00.002+08:00

Wanted to blog about the graduation ceremony last Saturday but due to some unforeseen circumstances, i.e. writing a testimonial for someone and enjoy too much in chatting [I've been very inactive in msn for many many weeks], I need to postpone the entry, until the next time I'm free! Hopefully soon!

For people who are waiting for the post, I'm sorry and be patient kay. I'll update that asap! =D

Work

2010-08-04T22:19:00.000+08:00

So, I've been working for three days now. So far, everything was okay. Nothing extraordinarily good or bad, yet. Colleagues are all nice people, at least for those who I'm working with more closely together now are nice, which is something I'm thankful for. =)

The only drawback is that I have to wake up at 6 every morning and will only reach home the earliest, after 8 at night. Not much time left before I sleep. Less sleeping time, less time to surf the net, no time to read. *Sigh* But other than that, I'm good!

In a few weeks time, I'll be moving to KL office. Feel kind of dreadful to that since I like the people here and moving to new office is like starting from scratch again; a newbie who need to get to know everybody in the office all over again and all. Haih, thing decided by the big boss can't be changed, so I guess I'll have to accept the fate and whatever is going to happen lar.

Till then, I need to try very hard not to oversleep tomorrow!

Journey of discovery

2010-08-01T22:46:00.000+08:00

I was actually still putting some hope that maybe, maybe [no matter how slim the chances are] the boss will find a way to get all my files back until this evening. Got my lappie back this evening and yes, even the tiniest bit of hope has vanished! I don't know how to describe my feelings but thank god, I'm feeling a little bit better now [at least I don't feel so much like crying anymore] I don't know why this sentence keep appearing and playing in my mind ever since I know that all my files are gone - "God has a plan for everything and everything happens for a reason". I found it totally irrelevant to this scenario but for some unknown reasons, there's this little voice inside keep telling me this nonsense. [Ish .. It only add on more pain T.T]

Today is 1st of August! See how time flies! It's the month which the convo falls on and it's also the month which I'll officially step into the workplace. In fact, I'll start working tomorrow! And it's only 7 days left till the convo! Now, it's really a new starting point, a whole new path ahead and to make my life better, I decided to change, for good.

I wanted to know where my money comes from and how much I spend and what I spend on. To be honest, I don't have any past record in saving money. Even if I save, the ultimate purpose is to spend them altogether on shopping. I know I can't live a life like that anymore; without knowing where the money comes and goes if I want a better life, so I have to be careful with my money and perhaps learn to save some of them. To kick start this "new grand plan", I bought a notebook and I jotted down all my expenses down to every single cent starting from today itself. I hope I'll keep this good habit lar! *Finger crossed*

One of my uncle said something to me today and even though I know every single thing he said, I still find myself erm .. a bit lost. Theoretically, I know them but practically, I don't know what should I do and even him couldn't quite help me on that. Anyway, just like what he said, life is like a journey of discovery, we have to try and perhaps fall and get hurt before we find our way.

So, I'll embark on this journey of discovery now and hopefully find where I'm suppose to head to, soon.

FML!!!!!

2010-07-31T21:36:00.002+08:00

FML!! FML!! FML!!!

Window corrupt and all my files gone!!!

Photos taken over the past 4 years!

All my assignments!!

All my work!!

Everything gone!!

Can you imagine how I feel right now?

I really feel like crying now!

Why shitty thing like this keep happening on me?!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ducky's birthday celeration

2010-07-23T21:52:00.001+08:00

So, this Tuesday was Ducky's birthday and thanks to Mrs Ducky's grand plan, we had a little surprise for him last Saturday at Riverside.

Make a wish!

The cake was sponsored by Suet Sze and it was niceeeeee!
It's a new cake in her shop and I really wanted to try another cake she mentioned that day!
Maybe I should drop by her shop tomorrow and get a slice =p

See! How much effort Mrs Ducky had put in to give him this surprise.
She got his eyes covered up and walked him all the way from the car park to the restaurant.
Not to mention keep him busy by talking to him while waiting for us. And we're late that night!
Just imagine the attention they got from the passerby and the diners.
No wonder everyone was looking at us when we brought the cake in. lol.

Group pic

Thanks ducky for the dinner! And I was actually surprise to find out that everyone agreed to let him pay the bill. That was not our tradition, at least for the "wanted group". We used to pay for the birthday boy/girl for whatever he or she ordered. But this time is different. I guess maybe he's already a boss now. XD I hope he had a great time that night or else Ai Ting would be sad =p

* * * * * * * * * *

I've received "complaints" on the too-many-food-pics I posted lately. Anyway, I'm going to post one more nice food I had this week. =p

Not sure what this is called. It was called rojak at the stall in Jenjarom but it tasted more like curry laksa to me. =p I don't usually love mee but I love this one! And egg york with curry is always the best! [When there's no sambal or other gravy, of course =]

By the way, I went to the hair saloon again, this time with mama and my aunt.
And I got my hair cut again and this time it's shorter and I had bangs now. Those straight and thick one, something I had never had the guts to try before =p

* * * * * * * * * *

One last thing to share! I saw something interesting on the road the other day - a moving advertisement! Something we don't get to see everyday here in Malaysia [or was it just Kajang?]

I think it's great because almost everyone one on the road paused or turned to look at the mini lorry. I think they're playing some music also, that's why it attracts people's attention.

They even had the advertisement changed like every 30 seconds.
Good to see that our government is at least doing something to promote tourism =p

One last thing, I just feel like shouting out loud that "I'm happy!" Got a good news today and it was something I've been waiting for a looooooong time! I really thank her for all the words of encouragement! =)

It's going to be a new start

2010-07-17T00:49:00.000+08:00

It's a rainy night and I love rainy nights! I love how the air smells like rain and the monotonous rhythm of the rain drops on the awning, it's going to be my lullaby that lulls me to sleep tonight.

* * * * *

We failed and we moved on. So, I'm also doing the same thing. So far, everything seems to have a good progression. Soon, I'll be starting a new chapter of my life. No, I'm not getting married or having a baby. =p I'm just going to start working, officially. And I would like to thank everyone who had been helping me hunting for good jobs here, though not all of them is going to read this though. I think I've finally found a job that I want and is really looking forward to work there. It might not be the one that offers great travel opportunities, the highest pay, the one that has only five-work-day or the one that has a 9-to-5 working hour, but it's the one that I think I'm going to love. I've attended a number of interviews and had actually turned down some of them too and the interview I attended this Thursday is so far, the best because I feel very comfortable talking with the interviewers and they are really nice people who are able to make you feel happy by just talking to them. Of course, most importantly, the job functions and the exposure the job offers. Anyway, I'm not going to elaborate on this. It just feel good to finally get the kind of job I'm looking for [don't ask me what exactly I'm looking for, actually like most people, I only know what I don't want instead of what I really wanted in this case]

Money used to be my first priority but I know without being happy, without enthusiasm and without the love for the job, there's no future. Good money + job I don't like is not going to bring me anywhere. Imagine facing steel or textile or machines, whatever boring stuff you can think of, I don't think I can survive. [Maybe I can survive but I'm not living; surviving and living is two utterly different thing for me] Donald Trump said he love his job, that's why he's so good in it and so successful. I find it so true because I used to hate math so much, up to the point when I think of it, I feel so stress and want to puke, so I never had good grades for math before Form 3 and I never even have the thought of trying to improve it until Form 4. I got into a pure science class and like most of you have already known, add math is a must! So, you can imagine how stress I was back then. But I don't want to fail without even giving it a try, so I worked really hard on it. Hard work does pay off, the highest score I got is 70 and I had never failed even one add math paper. 70 might not be good enough for you, but it was like the best for me because I used to get like 40 to 50 for normal mathematics! My hard work on add maths plus a good teacher made me improved a lot on my normal mathematics, it was like kacang putih when you compare it to add maths. So I began to love it and of course when you love something, you'll do well. As far as I can remember, getting an A for mathematics is no longer a problem for me.

Okay, I swayed too far and telling story of a hundred years ago. I'm just trying to get my point across. I decided to take up this job is because I feel I'm going to love it and hopefully I really will. Now, I have two weeks left to go. Anyone wants to go for a movie, jogging, hiking, cycling or whatever that doesn't burn a hole in my pocket [I'm seriously running low on cash, especially after paying for the car installment =S] feel free to contact me! I seriously need to get out of the house!

Sepang Gold Coast

2010-07-14T09:51:00.000+08:00

So, this was the second time I came to this place. If you can remember, this place doesn't gave me a good first impression with the milo-colour sea water and dead fish on the shore. =S What actually brought me back here is Golden Palm Tree, a newly opened five star hotel. Maybe I'll tell more on the real reason after tomorrow. Today is still not a good day. =p

And guess who I'm with this time? =p

Yea. Her. Coz she knows the road better than me, I have to bring her. XD

I miss flying kite! The last time I played was like 10 years ago!
Ahh ... brought back all the childhood memories!

But the kite is expensive! Cost me 20 bucks!
Bring your own kite before you come.

*Happie*

Take a walk down the beach, watch the sea water breaking over the beach and fly a kite can really chase away all the blues!

The hotel is currently open for public to visit, up to the area behind the lobby though. But it was already super nice! The price also super "nice". Wish I could afford to have a holiday here someday. =p

See, they even prepare these bed at the deck, overlooking the sea.
So romantic! =D

You can sit on the bed and enjoy the sea breeze and look at how the sky turned orange during sunset. How nice!

Save money and have weekend getaway there, you'll have a great time living outside the busy town! =)

By the way, the movie eclipse is unexpectedly good! So much better than the first two! Maybe it's because of the love triangle =p Anyway, the books are still the best! XD

Alone

2010-07-11T01:02:00.000+08:00

Warning: A negative entry, do not read if you can't stand the negativity, instead skip everything and read only the last paragraph.

I spent the night alone, not even trying to make myself spend another more seconds at a place where people would ask me things. There's this aimless feeling that made me feel so lost. In fact, I've been in this lack-of-sense-of-direction state ever since I step out of NUC. Things were so much more clear and easy when you're still studying. All you need to do is get good grades and have fun! Yea, you might be thinking what's so hard about the life after college. Well, it sounds easy because you and I and everyone else knows the simple answer - get a job! But, the problem is what job?

Alright, so I've made a decision to try something different and well, I hate to admit it but I had to, it doesn't turn out well. Things have not live up to my expectations or maybe I just haven't tried hard enough, I don't know. All I know now is I'm looking for a job now.

Well, things doesn't look so bad either in my job hunting, turned down three interviews, accepted an offer which I changed my mind later because of the objections I got from mama and aunts and in fact, I'm a bit not so comfortable with the job nature too. Socialize with clients till 4 in the morning and traveling overseas with boss alone? And he's an uncle. It just made me think about lots of bad things that could happen. =S

I'm just not in a terrific mood with the pressure I gave myself and feeling the pressure I "imagine" people are giving me and I feel so empty and useless and I had this self-hatred feeling for not being productive! Worst still, I had no one to turn to.

So, I spent the night alone, away from everyone else. Driving aimlessly for one hour, trying to assuage the feeling of emptiness by listening to the radio. Get McDonald's drive-thru, binged on junkies and watched a movie alone. Gosh, I had never in my life, watch a movie alone. But it actually had no difference from watching a movie with someone else, except that you don't have to share your popcorn with someone else and in my case, cheezel.

I took a deep breathe and kept telling myself that everything is going to be fine. Sure enough, I got another reply asking me to attend an interview next Thursday. So, I'll be attending two interviews this week. Wish me luck and hope they're the jobs I'm looking for!

Good night, everyone. =)

Contradiction

2010-07-10T13:20:00.000+08:00

How can you feel like going out and not talking? How can you feel like going out and being alone at the same time? Shit, that's exactly how I feel right now.

I'm dying to go out but I don't want to talk but the only person who could do just that and totally comfortable with it is not in the same land now. Can I possibly find someone like that now, someone who would be totally comfortable with silence when we go out?

Maybe I should just go catch a movie all by myself. Even that, I need to talk to the guy selling movie tickets =S

Aunty Lan Homemade Noodles

2010-07-04T23:06:00.001+08:00

I've been blogging a lot about food lately because other than food, I don't know what else I can blog about. =( Faced a lot of obstacles lately and everything is getting worse in my life but don't really feel like talking about it now =( Anyway, I'm working on that to improve the situation, perhaps change it? Maybe I'll tell that when things get better =)

Okay, back to the topic, the noodles. Hmmm .. not really the noodles, actually. I've dine in this restaurant for countless time and back then when I was still in college, I even travel all the way from Nilai back to Kajang just to eat the tomyam noodle there. But too bad, their tomyam noodles no longer taste the same. I suspect they change the chef or something, I don't know, the taste is just hmm, different now.

Exterior of the restaurant

Interior

Even though their tomyam noodles' standard had drop tremendously, there's still another all-time favorite, their fried dumplings! Super nice, I tell you!! Every time I visit the shop, I'll order at least 5 of it and it's actually quite big. =D

The super delicious fried dumplings!
RM1.20 each and RM 5 for 5 pieces. *Yummy*

Love this pic very very much!
I didn't know my little pinky is capable of capturing a dslr-like shot like this one. LOL.

The best thing about the dumpling is the fresh prawn inside it and it's not overcook. So, it's super nice!! *drooling*

I'm too accustomed to go there, eat, then paid and leave. So, I didn't get the address, but it's located in Sg. Chua, Kajang. I guess if you ask around, you'll be able to find it. =)

I love this place and you'll know why if you are a loyal reader.
It's full of memories. Mostly good ones ... ... ...

For all Malaysians

2010-07-03T17:21:00.002+08:00

You know, I'm not a person who would take particular interest in any newspaper articles, especially political issues. And even until now, I still hold no interest in reading newspaper =S but still, I tried lar.

Just now, I came across this article, to be exact, two articles that were posted in her blog that made me feel like I have the responsibility to share it and everyone one of us, including people who never even bother to read newspaper like me would want to know this.

So, please read this!

Maria's Restaurant and Cafe

2010-07-03T16:39:00.000+08:00

Okay, here's where we have selected, Maria restaurant and cafe in Metropolitan Square. The last time I've been to Metropolitan square was few years back and back then the building was just completed and Citibank hasn't even move in yet. So, I'm a bit blur and can't remember where's the entrance and where's the commercial parking. =p

The restaurant is located upstairs, on first floor and it's actually inconspicuous; if not for the photo I saw in this post, I might not be able to find it. Not to mention the security guard pointed the wrong direction for us and made us went in to the wrong lift =.=

Interior of the restaurant

Oxtail soup

Given the good reviews I read here and here, I decided to order this. But of course, it's not for me coz I don't eat beef. No comment since I'm not the one eating this =p But according to Mr. L, it has less pepper taste compared to others he had tried before. Not sure if this is good. lol. But I guess it is, according to the two reviews I read.

As usual, mushroom soup for me. =)
Well, this is good. Anyway, all normal mushroom soup is good for me, including campbell =p

Okay, here's another highly recommended dish.
NZ baby lamb cutlet.

Just like what Vkeong said a minimum of 3 pieces of lamb cutlet will be served, which they had stated clearly in their menu. I had just a bite and I personally think it's okay. Not really as nice as the reviews I read, but not bad =) I think Mr. L would love the lamb shank I had in Silver Spoon more. =p

Grilled salmon in tangerine sauce

After my sudden discovery on why I dislike western food - because of the never-seem-to-finish meats in one dish that make me lost my appetite. I decided not to order chicken and lamb and choose something that swim in the water. lol. Too bad, I still lost my appetite before I finish it, not really like lost appetite, just feel really really full and had the I-can't-stuff-anymore-things-into-my-mouth sort of feeling. It's a personal problem, not because of the salmon. Even though I don't really like anything that served together with any citrus-like sauce, the salmon taste good with the way they prepare it. Anyway, I still like Japanese-styled grilled salmon the best. Haha. Yes, I'm bias. =p

After the soup and the main course, I was seriously full and we decided not to order any dessert. But the manager of the restaurant I suppose, whom I think is Mary Ann from reviews I read, sent us a F.O.C chocolate muffin. So sweet of her! =)

And the muffin has a heavenly taste despite me being a non-chocolate lover.
We both love it so much!

Even though I'm not a fan of Western food, I like their soup and desserts. I guess steak is really not my cup of tea, maybe I should give pasta a try next time =)

Me, being a big fan of sushi might do this restaurant injustice. If you are a western food lover, maybe you should give Maria's a try given the good reviews they had. Above all, they serve in quite large portion and the price is reasonable. From what I read from here, set lunch starts from RM15 and set dinner from RM28 with soup and dessert.

Silver Spoon Trattoria

2010-06-30T23:26:00.000+08:00

Last week I was finding and researching on restaurant worth visiting for a celebration with someone special and had narrowed down my choices to only Japanese and Western food restaurants because sushi is my favorite but I've had too much sushi in the past few weeks, so I selected a few western foods restaurant too, so we have more choices to choose from. And we have selected and visited one of the restaurants (that's a story for another entry)

Silver Spoon Trattoria, an Itallian restaurant is in the list of the selected restaurants but was not selected because it's in Kepong, which is quite far away. But I found out that it was actually very near to my office and I was going to meet a friend whom I've not seen for 3 years that night so I suggested that we have dinner there.

So, this was where we had our dinner =)

Very nice interior!
You definitely not going to expect this is how the inside of the restaurant look like from the outside-look for the building that house the restaurant

Mocktails we had which I have forgotten the names =p

Caesar salad
No comment because I'm don't like uncook food, including vegetables

Scallop crostini with olive tapenade
Fresh and juicy scallop! It would taste better if it's saltier XD

Stuffed mushrooms
I'm a big fan of mushroom!
I'm not sure if it's my problem; same with the scallop, I think it's a bit tasteless, it would be really nice if it is saltier

Chicken Al Pamigiana

Chicken Involtini

Lamb shank
I don't know what else I can order, so I ordered this.
The meat is very very tender! I think people who love lamb will love this very much!

I was never a fan of western food but I didn't know what's the reason behind that but I think I've finally know what's the problem - I'm not a meat lover. I just lost my appetite when I keep on feeding myself meat, meat and just meat =S

Can't remember the name of the pancake already =p

Creme brulee
This is nice, I especially love the thin layer of caramel on top of it

Tiramisu! This is very nice!!
Don't know how to describe it but it was really nice!
Love it so much!

The bill came at 270 for everything, which had exceeded my budget. lol. But meeting old friend and had dinner at great place is not something we do everyday. Once in a while, okay lar. LOL.

Goreng pisang with sambal kicap Johor!

2010-06-26T23:26:00.000+08:00

Pei Zhi came to KL for job interview last week and the three of us meet up and had a girls' day out.

Picture took in a gang of crazy football fans' house.

I remember there's one stall near the Bangi bus station selling goreng pisang with kicap Johor but never had a chance to try it. Most KL people may not know about goreng pisang can be eaten together with some spicy sauce. Until my Johorean friends told me about it, I didn't know about that either and I doubt it would taste good because we were all so accustomed to goreng pisang we used to eat. Finally, I tried it! And I was wrong about the taste! Surprisingly, it taste good! However, I personally think that you have to choose the right pisang to eat it together with, those not so sweet type of banana would be better.

The stall outside the bus station

Try it if you happen to pass by that area! =)

Bliss

2010-06-26T23:14:00.000+08:00

Having home-cooked foods and cheese sausages as dinner with chatter and laughter as desserts is just a bliss.

What make it an even more happy night is big succulent strawberries as supper!

Sometimes, happiness can be so simple.

Foodssssss

2010-06-24T15:35:00.000+08:00

Alright, the mood finally strikes. Here's the highlight our our graduation trip. The main highlight the trip, like I mentioned before, is actually not the activities we had, but the foods. Most of our money "poooff" were spent on foods. In fact, the money I spent on this trip is enough for an oversea vacation to err .. maybe Bali? lol. Not really feel like going into details of each restaurant, so bear with it lar.

Fresh coconut potong open by very skillful indian!
You should see how they hold the coconut with one hand and another holding a parang-like knife. I was worried sick that they might accidentally chop off their hand or fingers. =S

Apom in Penang.
I watched a TV programme and found out that there was actually another more famous stall operate by indians. If there's a chance, I wish I can try that next time =)

Super cheap luk luk which I super miss!!
With the same amount of money paid, I think we can only get half of what we ate that time, or maybe less in KL. Especially when you eat at those luk luk ceh. (van selling luk luk)

Can't remember the name of this restaurant recommended by Darren.
Summer restaurant or something if not mistaken.

It's one of the more expensive foods we had in Penang. But still, it's cheap!
Especially love the ambiance.

First dinner at Langkawi at Kantan Restaurant.
Expensive and it took an incredibly loooooooong time for them to serve our food =.=

But if you want to try dining in a nicely decorated Malay restaurant, maybe this is where you should visit.

One of the most expensive meals we had in Langkawi @ The Loaf.
Went there on purpose to try their seafood platter which has received good reviews but we were all so disappointed. =(
But I love their pastries! *drooling* and their smoked salmon pasta is good!

This is where I said we had shark fin, lobsters, crab and tiger prawn.
@ Orkid Ria Seafood Restaurant.
I think everything we had were nice but nothing extraordinary ..

After everyone realized that money are flowing out of their wallet like tap water, we cut down our makan cost and settle with more economical meals like this one. Even this one costs around 200, or was it more?=S
I totally forgot the name of this restaurant where the soup is tasteless but the bamboo chicken is a must-try! Yummy!

Might blog about nice foods I had in Melaka too. Wait till I have the mood and time =p Talking about food, I'm going to try out a new restaurant tonight with a friend I've not seen for ages. Let's pray the food is as good as the review I read. =)

Finding myself

2010-06-23T01:03:00.000+08:00

So, I drive now and usually I drive a long way. So, I have plenty of time to think about all sort of things whenever I'm driving. Okay, to be exact, I'm think about me and everything about myself and mostly decisions I made. I used to think a lot about decisions I made in life, not really evaluating them because most of the time you just can't tell whether it's right or wrong because sometimes a bad decision leads you to a even better decision.

I like to plan things ahead but sadly, things always change and most of the time, I was either forced or it just happen that I switch to another plan. Well, maybe, that's what life is. Before the semester ends, I had plans in mind and I thought I'm going to follow my plan but I've changed my mind and decided to took a not-so-conventional choice of a degree holder and I knew it all along that people would have all sorts of comment on it, mostly unfavorable comments.

I care a lot on how other people see me as a person and I've been using the past 3 years proving myself to those who used to look down at me and I've given my best shot and hoping that they would start looking at me differently, in a positive way, on my convo in August. But I've also created another problem for myself, more like a "face" problem. I couldn't say I'm the best student but I know some lecturers have some expectations on me or at least I thought they have, maybe like what job I'm going to get, what company I'm going to join and whether or not I'm going to further my studies, things like that and that's why I'm scare to see them in the college, afraid that they would ask about all these. Even if they are not having any expectations; I'm just imagining things, some of my relatives do have these expectations and I knew if things do not meet their expectation, my ears or at least my ego is going to hurt. And yet, I made a decision that I knew is going cost a price, "my face".

And today, I finally heard someone said something, which had been playing in my mind for a long time, straight to my face. I met up a guy today to sign up something and out of courtesy, we had some small talk beside business talk and when he knew that I've just completed my degree but have chosen this job instead of any other jobs people thought I should be applying or choosing. Straight away, he showed a surprise face and blurted out a big "huh" [Maybe it's not really that "big"] and asked why.

You see, this is the problem of us. We have a set of standard set for ourselves and for others. And everyone thought that all of us should follow the standard and rules because we thought it was the right thing to do. The truth is, there's no right or wrong and there's always a choice. The only problem is, you think there's no other alternative or you simply ignore it. And when someone is making an unconventional move, you start judging and telling them is wrong. I'm not saying I'm right and I'm not blaming anyone for judging my decision. After all, we're all human and I judge people too!

I'm not sure why I'm writing this. Perhaps I'm just tired of people's reaction and comments on my decision or maybe I'm just trying to convince myself that my decision is not wrong. I don't know. Whatever you say and whatever everyone else says, I'm going to give this a try no matter what because I don't want to keep wondering and thinking all the "what if's" 10, 20 or 30 years later and couldn't find an answer to all these "what if's". After all, I have nothing to lose if I fail except my ego, time and perhaps some money. But if I make it, it would be a dream-come-true because I will be able to do the things I had only wished.

Wish me all the best, will you?

Short hair + Snow Flakes

2010-06-18T23:02:00.007+08:00

I've got my hair cut SHORT! I've contemplated on whether or not to cut it short for quite some time and I finally have to guts to do it! =D

Ignore the curly part! I hate how my hair tends to curl like that =(
Have to fix it everytime I'm going out. Ish.
Btw, do I look nice in short hair? LOL.

Went to this shop called Snow Flakes to have some shaved ice. It's opposite Asia Cafe and located at first floor, selling Taiwanese desserts and came across something interesting. I read something about this kind of devices in his blog and never thought I can find something similar here. =p

The beeping UFO

When it starts vibrating, that means your desserts are ready and you can collect at the counter.
Cute, isn't it. =D

Oh yes, that's my shaved ice!
With yam and sweet potato ball that taste surprisingly nice!
I like the texture and it's so chewy! Yummy!

Definitely going to have more if I happen to be in that area again! Till then, I hope I'll get well soon. I'm coughing my lungs out T.T No more cold drinks for at least the next couple of days, I guess.

I'm a driver!

2010-06-16T00:31:00.002+08:00

So, I've got the car last Saturday and I've been driving it for the past few days and thank god, I didn't crash the car! I was terribly scare in the beginning and I feel much more relax now, until I can drive alone and go out all by myself now. lol.

Money is slipping through my hand like sand now. Money out and no money in. This can't goes on forever and I'm going to start making money next week! Hope everything goes well. *finger crossed*

Till then, I'm going to chant everyday.

Money money home, money money come.

Money money home, money money come.

Tuna corquettes

2010-06-11T20:42:00.000+08:00

Finally changed the blogskin, together with the header =p I've wanted to change that a loooooooong time and now finally I'm in the mood to do it. Plus, now blogger had this thing called template designer that make the whole process a lot more simpler. =D

Today is only 11th but I've almost reached the maximum data usage rate. =S I guess by the time I finish typing this entry, there's no more left =( Ahhh, 11 more days to go to start a new term.

Alright, back to the title. I made something yesterday. And yes, according the the recipe, it's called tuna corquettes. Pro-name huh. lol. Putting aside the fact that I've spent nearly three hours to make it, it was actually pretty easy to make.

The finished product XD
The taste is not up to my expectation but it's okay lar ..
"Mai hiam beh pai" lar XD

Ohh .. tomorrow is a big day! Coz I'm going to get my car, a secondhand one though. Till then, I hope I won't crash the car =p

Dermatoglyphics

2010-06-08T15:06:00.002+08:00

Though there were some unexpected incidents like the disruption of ktm service, I still managed to get myself to the book fair yesterday, thanks to Mei Yee =p

I came across something very interesting called dermatoglyphics code test, it's not something new but it is something new to me. =p Basically, what they do is capture the fingerprints on all your ten fingers and based on that they tell you about your personality, strengths and weaknesses, talents, things like that. It sounds a bit ridiculous to me at first but I found out that it was actually scientifically proven through some biological studies. Surprisingly, my mum know this when I told her about it. Guess I not only must read news, I should listen to radio too. lol.

Pay 399 and they'll run the test and provide you a full report on all the things you want to know. They told me about myself in brief by just looking at my thumbs' prints and it was so accurately and same goes for the analysis they done for Mei Yee! I'm so tempted to do but 399 is a lot of money to me right now. =p If you're interested, you can visit GeneCode's booth at Mines book fair. =)

What an unlucky day!

2010-06-07T12:20:00.002+08:00

Happily woke up this morning, took breakfast, all set and ready to go out. [In fact, I was already out, waiting for the bus =S] It was suppose to be a good day to do some book shopping at Mines book fair and I was so proud of myself that I actually decided to go alone coz I can't think of anyone that I can ask and is free on a Monday morning.

I don't know whether I'm lucky or unlucky to know that some cargo train derailed in the midnight and caused some disruption on the kereta-taktau-masa's service while I was waiting for the bus when Mei Yee called and told me about it because she's a victim who had waited for her train to Kampar for two hours and is now heading back to Kajang. I guess I'm unlucky because I've just checked the internet and know that maybe there's trains to Serdang. *Sigh*

More info on the train derailment. Check the star.

Horrible news

2010-06-04T23:46:00.000+08:00

If you're close enough with me (or maybe don't need to be so close), you'll know that I seldom read newspaper and don't really care so much about what is happening out there. Yea, I know I should care about what is going on out there and what is happening in the country and all. I'll try lar =p Yesterday, I was watching TV and when the show is over I didn't switch it off. So, I happened to listen to the news and was shocked to know that taxi rapist still exist. (Call me naive, if you want.) Somemore so close to my place!

Even though I thought it's not so easy for taxi driver to do such things anymore, I still take precautionary steps whenever I'm taking a taxi, like calling a friend or sometimes pretending to call a friend and tell him or her that I'm in a taxi with the number plate XXXX, just to let the driver know that someone out there knows I'm in his car. (But still, criminal can use fake plate number) Whatever lar, I just do whatever makes me feel a bit safer. I don't understand why those victims could allow that sei bin tai lou take their naked pictures in the first place, or maybe why they even believe and allow the driver to send them to somewhere they don't know in the first place. *Sigh* Perhaps, reading newspaper or listening to news (if you're lazy) is really a good thing to make young girls aware that we're all living in a such environment and be more alert.

There's another horrible news I read in two of the blogs I'm following which I guess many people might have already know. A girl was burned alive in an accident just because BHP staff refused to lend the fire extinguisher! The girl might as well be saved if the staff could just borrow the fire extinguisher to the guy that came to seek help. It's just so exasperating to know that all those stupid excuses and system had just caused an innocent girl's death. More info.

*Sigh* This is it. The stark reality. The world we live in.

Archery + Bowling!

2010-05-29T23:27:00.004+08:00

Watched kidnapper today and it was great! It's one of the best movies I've watched this year! So chi kek and gan jiong until I cried. I was soooooo moved by the love a father can give his son and the bond between the father and his little son. *teary eyes*

Today is a special day where 4 of my family members' birthday falls on this day! Happieee Birthday! =D It is also special because I tried something new, something I've never tried before =p Yeah, you've got it from the title. I played archery and bowling today! =))

You can be robin hood for a while if you want. Just visit star archery at pyramid. =p

But you have to be prepared because it's really tiring. My hand keep shaking when I was loading the last few arrows.

Look at this! Mr L hit the bull eye! Maybe he just got lucky XD

I finally had the guts to embarrass myself. LOL.
It's quite fun actually and I'm lucky because I remember to let the ball go when I throw it out XD

It's a really tiring day, so the cancellation of tomorrow's shopping session is not really that disappointing. I hope you get well soon and we'll go shop somewhere else! Drink more water! Eat more fruits and vege! And get more rest lar, you never sleep early!!

Penang + Langkawi (30 April 2010 - 6 May 2010)

2010-05-26T12:13:00.017+08:00

Like most of you have already know, we went to Penang and Langkawi about a month ago. The original plan was to head to Penang straight away on labour day but there was a sudden change of plan, so we headed to Genting the night before that.

We spent a night there (the boys spent their night in the casino, and we girls spent our night in starbucks =.=) Headed to Ipoh for breakfast at the crack of dawn after the guys had finally won some $$. They spent part of their "fruit of labour" for our breakfast at "Fu Shan Dim Sum"; a very nice-looking restaurant serving lots of dim sum. [Might blog about the food we had in another entry because it seems like food is the main highlight of our trip as we spent most of our money just on food alone.]

Went to somewhere that had a lot of water
Can't remember if that's a dam or water reserve =p

And somewhere we had a clear view of the island.

Waterfall

Had durian.

Hired a boat ......

to Monkey Beach.

And saw a really big monkey there! XD

Had dinner in a restaurant which I can't recall the exact name. Summer restaurant, if not mistaken.

Had a group pic outside the hotel we stayed! LOL.
You think we're really that rich? Think again. =p

Headed to Langkawi the third day.

First dinner in Langkawi at Kantan Restaurant.
And guess what is the first meal we had in Langkawi? Marrybrown =.=

For them, the true purpose of coming to langkawi is the booze and cigar.

The expert preparing tequila shot for us. =p

Had fun gambling. It felt so new-year. XD

Brunch at The Loaf. One of the most expensive meals we had there.

Located somewhere that has such a nice view!
It made me felt rich XD

Photo-taking session after the brunch.

Headed to Oriental Village for the cable car ride after brunch.

At the sky bridge!

Went to the so-called nicest beach in Langkawi (Tanjung Rhu) but was a bit disappointed.
The sea water is so salty that made my eyes all teary and I can barely open my eyes.
So all the fun of playing in the water, gone.

One of my favorite pics, though not taken by me. XD
Look like a wallpaper, right!

A must take shot when you're at a beach.
Sad to say, this is the one and only successful attempt.
By the way, can you spot me? LOL.

I love this pic of me running back to them.

Group pic in Orkid Ria Seafood Restaurant after the hearty and luxury dinner.
We had shark fin, lobster, tiger prawn, crab and don't-know-what-fish already.

One of the must-do activities - island hopping.
The itinerary had been modified to include a fishing trip. So, it's a bit different from what other people had.

Pulau Dayang Bunting.

Caught a tiny little fishie =p
Or was it two? LOL.

Lucky guy! Pure luck!! Caught a fish together with a crab that was going to eat that fish!
Where on earth you find someone blessed with such good luck?!!

Also, a must-take-shot in Langkawi.
A pic at Eagle Square.

The end of the trip.

Return

2010-05-22T22:09:00.003+08:00

After abandoned my blog for so long, I'm a bit not in the mood to update now coz I don't know what should I blog about =p

As most of you have already know, I've completed my degree and is now stoning at home. Convo is on August and I'm so looking forward for it! I've been waiting for that day for 3 years weh! =D

Went to Penang, Langkawi and Melaka after exam and I'll blog about it if mood strikes.

Got Maxis Broadband today and that's why I am here. Wanted to try out Celcom broadband initially but I was lazy to walk to the center and since Maxis center was just few steps away from where I was this afternoon, I decided to give it a try =p But I'm a bit worried that 3GB data usage is not enough =S

I'm mad tired now. Didn't even get one full hour of sleep last night. =(

Will blog again, hopefully soon.

My account kena hacked!!!

2010-05-15T21:07:00.002+08:00

The title says it all. My Facebook account got hacked! To make matter worse, my hotmail account got hacked too! FML. I really had no idea who on earth would want to hack my account?! T.T

Yesterday, I tried to log in to FB using my phone but access was denied. I didn't bother to find out why, thinking maybe my phone has some problem or something. But just now I tried to log in using my lappie, it says password incorrect and that's when I started to suspect something is wrong. I tried to log in to msn (my fb login email), the same thing happened! Password incorrect again!! How can my msn password be incorrect?!!! I saved the password and it was set to auto-log in mode! So, it's impossible that I forgot my password. I tried all possible ways to reset my password but failed; the hacker changed my alternate email too. T.T Even the "infamous" hacker K7 can't help. What else can I do?

I'm very sakit hati with all the msn contacts I've lost. T.T If any one of you happened to read this, please add my new account: yyenyin@hotmail.com

Arrival

2010-05-01T12:07:00.001+08:00

Phew~ After a treacherous loooooong journey, we've finally reached penang!!!

Say goodbye to exam and school and welcome the foods!! =D

puppy puppy!

2010-04-19T23:25:00.000+08:00

Besides monkeys, there are sooooooooo many annoying cats in the college! I don't normally hate cats, especially cute little kittens! My "hatred" for cats started when these mummy cats started to produce batch after batch of baby cats. And these cats always scare the hell of out me when they suddenly appeared behind the doors, outside the room or at the corner of the staircase. =.= And they made scary noise in the middle of the night [I'm sleeping alone now!!] Not to mention their smelly shits are everywhere! Thank god, not outside my room! Pity Em. lol.

I have seen enough cats in the college and I have to deal with another group of cats behind my house that wait for food everyday and sometimes, have to clean the floor because of their smell shits. Ish. The worst thing is they ruined my appetite and gave me nightmare when I accidentally saw them eating rat or bird. =S Argh!

And today I finally saw a lovely puppy in the college! It's so adorable! Yea, yea, yea ... I know I'm bias. But everyone is bias, alright. XD

People love it so much that they feed her [yea, it's a she =p] chicken nuggets XD I wish I can see her again tomorrow. =)

***

Exam is just around the corner!!! But I'm so not in the mood to study! Help!!!

One of the things I wanted to do as a college student

2010-04-15T15:50:00.000+08:00

I'm a night person coz I always stay up late but I was never a party-all-night-long type of girl. I don't really drink and I don't party XD. And I've never been to a club before [If bar is not counted. Anyway, I've only been to a bar once XD].

And one of the things I wanted to experience as a college student to clubbing! You know, it's like how you have a list of things that you wanted to accomplish when you're still a student, to feel like you've been young err ... and wild before. XD

And yes! I've finally been to a club! I like MOS because smoking is not allowed inside =p So, I think I smelled cigarette-free after that [except that I smelled of booze with all the alcohols on my clothes. =.=] I remember I said I will never ever dance if I ever step into a club and I was so sure about that. But with all the alcohol in your stomach and with all the people around you shaking their butts like nobody's business, you'll forget who you are and join them. lol. I think I've gone crazy that night and I felt myself blushing whenever I recall what I've done and said that night. Ish > . <

But to tell the truth, it was fun! Fun to be somebody else, someone that is so completely not me. LOL. And it feels great to forget about every single thing that bothered me for that few hours. [Though I threw up several times that night with my head throbbing the whole night and still feel a bit like walking on the clouds and had to scrub my white shorts with all the energy left the next day]

Now, I feel like a real college student. LOL.

Ikan bakar + Nottingham Uni

2010-04-08T12:10:00.001+08:00

After I tried the super-nice ikan bakar, the food in college look so unattractive now! =( So, few days ago, we went to broga again, to try another ikan bakar from another shop my friend recommended.

Pusat memancing ikan broga. I have no idea why they put the shop's name as pusat memancing because they don't allow us to pancing XD

There's a fish pond beside the restaurant and we can see lots of baby ikan telapia inside.

Darren, Boon Yong, Chek Hang, Emily and Bi Yang.

Very traditional way of cooking ..

Curry mutton

Lady fingers with brinjal

Salt grilled fish

Their jiu pai fish ..

Assam fish

From what I read from people's blogs, a lot of people like the environment here, because of the fish pond. But honestly, there are lots of mosquitoes [maybe because of the pond] and the chicken shit smell will make you lost your appetite. =S The most frustrated thing is you are so hungry that you wish to gobble up the fish and enjoy but ended up picking out the fish scale in almost every bite. =.=

We were so disappointed because pokok jati's ikan bakar taste way better than this and they have better service; boss is friendly and they even place a kind of pink liquid thingy on your table to chase away the houseflies. Though I don't like the smell, but I can just put it as far away from me as possible. So, that's not a problem. So, I would say restaurant pokok jati is one that you should try.

Went to Nottingham University and we had a tour guide bringing us around there XD All I want to say is that Uni is seriously nice, with superb facilities and environment! If you think Nilai is the one that has good environment, wait till you see Nottingham. It made me feel like getting a second degree there! Argh!! How I wish I have the money. T.T

I am contemplating to learn a new language and I've already done some research and narrowed my choice to The Language House and ICLS but I am open to listen to any good suggestion. So, any good language school you had in mind? [No Japanese, please. There are so many people learning Japanese now. I want to learn something different =p]

Sucky weekend

2010-04-05T21:49:00.001+08:00

I was on the emotional roller coasters for the past few days and it sucks, to the max ... Relationships between human beings are so fragile; it can be good now and yet become totally different the next second.

I felt grateful that our friendship has been saved; if it didn't become better, at least it is not totally ruined.

But things have not gone so well for another person. Anyway, I don't mind because that's not even a relationship because you cannot cultivate relationship with a worthless piece of garbage, that can't even be recycled.

People always say one must learn to forgive and forget. But too bad, I am not a person like that. Not even after I watched the "very-touching" video clip in facebook. I am drowned deep in the sea of rage and I am not willing to grab the lifebuoy, even there is one, not this time and not anymore.

I have tried to convince and force myself to accept the fact that I am obligated to respect you more than once. But I couldn't stand your irresponsible and unreasonable attitude any longer. Your age doesn't make all the things you do and say right. And your age and role doesn't earn you respect, it only deepen the hatred that had been simmering for so-many years. Have you ever thought why I have treated you the way I did and why I have never treated her like that? Have you ever thought of that?!! All you know is point a finger to me and make comparison with other people, but why you have never thought of comparing yourself to others?!

I used to hate myself for crying like a baby whenever we had a fight, no matter how angry I was, I cried. I don't know if those are tears of anger of sadness. And even I hate it to the core of my heart, I tell myself that's because we are a family. I have been wondering if I will run out of tears and I know if that day comes, there might be no turning point anymore. And that day has finally arrived, after all these years. I don't know if you have heard me clearly and taken in whatever I've said that day, you should be worry for your future because I mean every single word I said!

Fishing + Dragon-i

2010-03-28T22:23:00.000+08:00

I've only went fishing once in my life and it was what seems like a gazillion years ago and it was not exactly fishing because when the fishing rod started to shake, my uncle immediately took over, so he was the one who actually got the fish, not me. Nonetheless, I still miss the excitement and of course, the very very yummy ikan bakar that was grilled on the spot.

Last Friday, Bi Yang and Darren have a big fishing plan and I followed them, partly hoping that I can get to eat the fish they catch and also partly because I don't feel like staying at home the whole day. But I guess we didn't have luck that day because we followed the wrong road [thanks the the GPS and those misleading sign board in the highway] and ended up in somewhere very kampung and "ulu", if you know what I mean. =.=

They had some problem with the fishing rod and luckily this very helpful pro willing to help. =)

And there, they started ..

Seconds, minutes and hours passed and the sky started to grow dark but they still haven't got a fish. And other uncles also didn't seem to have any luck that day, even the pro. =( I was soaked in sweat with the heat keep rising and no wind at all. To make thing worse, I didn't had any food since morning, except some junkies we bought when we stopped by a grocery shop that owned by a man who looked like a rapist [according to darren] and my stomach was growling so loudly =(

The only consolation is the beautiful scenery in the kampung and the herds of cows and goats we saw that day ..

The best part of the day is the ikan bakar we had at Kedai Makanan Pokok Jati. Something that I said I'll come back for, if you remember. The shop is located at the left-hand side of the same road heading to broga hill.

Their specialty steamed fish

Tomyam grilled fish

I'm a tomyam lover! But to tell the truth, this time I prefer the steamed fish because it was really good! The fish is so sweet and succulent and it has a tender texture and the flesh is so soft! Thanks to the good cooking timing, I guess. [Thumbs up] Even the penang lang said it was good, so I think it's really good. lol. The plus point is the boss is also very friendly. So, it's definitely worth to pay a visit.

In case you want to know how to go to the place, here's the address.

Address: Batu 25, Jalan Broga, Semenyih, Selangor.

Contact number: 03-87610088, 012-3682882
Closed on Monday; except public holiday.

Went to Pyramid on Saturday, planned to watch the much-waited movie, the lovely bones but all the tickets were sold out for the 3pm session. So ended up teman Mr. Kah Wei to look for his dream watch. XD And had lunch in Dragon-i, which I was quite regretted. I should have stick to my original plan and try Vietnamese cuisine in the next shop instead. =(

My dessert - glutinous rice ball in sweet wine soup.
I'm a glutinous rice ball lover!

Pomelo Mango Sago cream
The name has a "o" in the first three words, make it sound funny =p
Even though I can't taste any pomelo smell or see any pomelo inside, it was still very good because of the mango!

Steamed vegetables and mushroom buns
If you can recall, he's a vegetarian

Shanghai steamed meat dumpling ..
I still prefer the one I tried in Ding Tai Fung, or was it Ding Fung Tai? =p
I had trouble remembering that restaurant's name.

Vegetarian fried ramen

Ramen with Hokkaido scallops
Can you see the BIG scallops?! It was huge!

Except for the dessert, the foods are not to my liking. Even the scallops is not very nice, maybe due to the no-taste soup. Maybe I ordered the wrong foods or something lar because the restaurant was quite pack. And that was one of the reasons I insisted to try.

Well, that's all about my weekend. I'll have to start doing the last assignment tomorrow. All the best to those who are rushing assignments and sitting for exams! =)

Happie

2010-03-25T14:55:00.000+08:00

WooHoo! I'm so happy!! Submitted the most sakit-kepala assignment! Oh, and I just found out that the conversion of ptptn to scholarship is applicable to private uni also, as long as you get a first-class degree and inform the college and they'll help to get things done for you.

And now, I have one more assignment left and a 2-hour, 6-page case study exam in less than a month's time. After that, I'll be free from college! [Now, why do I sound so excited] In fact, I was a bit sad at the thought of me leaving college soon. I love college, I love being a student and I'm a total "destination crave"; I love to have assignments thrown to me because I enjoy doing it [most of the time, if not all the time] and I love the feeling of I've-achieved-something and I totally love the excitement when I'm waiting for the results and of course, the friends and holidays!

I'm certain that I'm going to miss my college time.

Great people in my life

2010-03-23T23:59:00.000+08:00

Despite my constant complaints on my bad luck, I do feel that I'm one of the fortunate ones; always meeting good and helpful people. =) I'm a very unforgiving person but at the same time, I'm also a person who will always remember people who treated me well, no matter it's just a hug or a pat on my head when I'm sad, some word of encouragement or someone who lend a helping hand or give a little piece of advice and suggestion when I was in need.

When I was in school, I was not the teachers' favorite because I'm don't have outstanding results, extraordinary talent, not outspoken, bla bla bla ... And maybe because of all these reasons, I remember teachers who appreciate who I am and do whatever they can to try to bring out the best in me and stand up for me when everyone is turning their backs on me. I remember when I was in form 2, when everyone is protesting and against the idea of giving me extra marks for co-curriculum, Cik Ong [maybe she's a puan now] suprised me by standing up for me and defended me and ended up assigned me as one of the AJK [that's what it was called back then] of the club. Even though she left the school and has not given any ways for me to contact her, I will always remember her.

When I was in form 3, I had the first taste of being a teacher's favorite student. It was wonderful, even though I have extra work to do. If you know me, you'll know that I'm not outspoken and kind of reserve and ... shy and Puan Chong was the one who brought out the "little leader" in me [though I'm not much of a leader too until today]. And she's the one and only teacher that had made me felt so touched and cried in front of the class! That's something I will never forget in my life.

Fast forward to the time when I was working. I had a client who was very kind and helpful. He was not only my client but also a friend to me. He knew that I was facing money problem at that time having to live on my own, he provided a lot of opportunities for me to close my deals by giving my prospect tenants and buyers first priority when renting or selling his properties and he even asked me to help look for some properties that he intend to buy, which guarantee good commission. When he knew I was dealing with lots of problems in life and I was planning to look for a new job, he helped by keeping an eye on vacancy in the company he worked in. Even though I've chosen to continue my studies later on, I'm still very grateful for his effort in getting me a new job.

And now that I'm in college. I've met some really great lecturers like Dr. Yap who never fails to motivate and encourage students to give their best shot in everything they do and always there, ready to help in any problem students are dealing with and I mean ANY problems you can think of; family problems, financial problems, gf-by problems, you name it! Where on earth can you find such lecturers nowadays?

Very soon, I will be graduating and stepping into the working world once again. I am thankful for people who had given me advice and suggestions on whether or not to continue my studies, when, where and why I should study in and what companies I should be applying. Even it's only a teeny-weeny thing, I am very thankful for the suggestions Dr. Lee's has given me today. And all other people who helped me to find my path. You know who you are. =)

I sincerely thank all of you.

Putrajaya + Bukit Hatamas + Pepper soup

2010-03-22T13:15:00.000+08:00

Last weekend was a very tiring one with all the excessive exercises and lack of sleep. Went to Phoebe's wedding dinner last Friday. We are not close friends but we are somehow related, so I was seated in one of the "relative's table".

The moment we knew the "mummy no.3" is here, again as the err .. entertainer of the night. My cousin and I looked into each other eyes and felt like showing this face =.=" I wonder why can he be so popular ..

Went to Putrajaya on Saturday around 3 and started to look for the ticket booth. But was told by the staff that people have started queuing up at 5.30 in the morning to get the tickets [I assumed it's for the morning session] and she told us that the chances of getting the ticket is very slim but we can stay and wait for the balloon to fly at 6. =.= I was soaked in sweat and really couldn't stand the heat any longer! So, I gave up and went to Alamanda for the air-cond. XD Better luck next year! Maybe I could consider waking up before the crack of dawn to get the ticket next year. Maybe ~ [crazy people]

Had only 3 hours sleep and woke up at 5.30am on Sunday. It's hiking day! =D Had breakfast in McD and took off to Ah Pek Hill in Cheras after breakfast. Not sure the actual name of the hill but I was told by some people that the hill is also known as Bukit Hatamas.

Went to Sg. Chua and had pepper soup for lunch. I personally think the soup is so so because the one my granny cook, so far, had been the best I've tasted. =p But many people love the pepper soup there. So, darlings, maybe next time I can bring you girls there =p [Not sure if Ah Ying knows about the shop or not]

Went home to bath after lunch and headed to The Mines for movie but ended up didn't watch any =.= And get hoaxed to follow them to Putrajaya for the hot air ballon fiesta, which to my delight, unsuccessful because of the rain. XD So, headed to Alamanda, walked around then balik rumah.

It was a very tiring weekend. But I had fun =) Now, I'm in dilemma, should I or should I not go to Seputih hill next week?

*
*

I saw a book in the book store yesterday, the title is something like "I love you but I'm not in love with you" [Can't recall the exact title cos didn't really pay attention to that book at that time] How exactly this happened? How to love someone but not in love with him/her at the same time?

p/s: Ying, I think I've become one of your followers too, using this bracket [...] XD

yippeeyayayippeeyippeeya

2010-03-18T16:05:00.003+08:00

Yippee! Yippee Ya Ya Yippee Yippee Ya! I'm happy! I'm so happy but still have to suppress my happiness, or else people will hate me. XD

Finally finished the financial analysis for Google and Yahoo! Gosh, it almost kill me. I had no idea how to do this at all coz the most high standard financial analysis I've ever done is a 2 to 3-sentence comment. =.= I know deep inside my heart, it wasn't a good one. But that's the best I can do, for now. Well, I'll wait and see what my supervisor said next week =)

And now, I shall plan something for the coming weekend! =D Need to attend a wedding dinner tomorrow night and I'm forced to give tuition this weekend, either Saturday or Sunday. And hopefully not both day! T.T

The most exciting activity I'm looking forward now is the hot air balloon fiesta in Putrajaya! And I'm going to bukit hatamas this sunday morning! Yay! Can't wait to go! =p

Hopefully get to take lots of nice photos lar XD

Till then, I shall get my butt out of the chair and get ready to go home!

Buhbye~

Snippets

2010-03-14T23:58:00.005+08:00

There's a bunch of crazy people outside my room shouting like they saw ghost or something for like 5 minutes and it turns out that they are celebrating a friend's birthday. =.=

*
*

Starting from tonight until the last day of my stay in Nilai, I'm going to sleep with the lights on because my roommate is now in Kedah, attending her clinical practical training. =(

*
*

Last week, I was shock to find out that my old illness is coming back and the pain was unbearable =S Went to see doctor and he scared the shit out of me by telling me that I might had stone in my kidney =S Thanks to his first diagnosis, I allowed him to draw my blood, scanned my kidney. =( But thank god! It's not what he thought! And I'm fine now after the injection and all the awful medicine. =S

*
*

End of bad news, there's one thing I'm particularly happy about! I've finally made up my mind and I am glad that "I don't know" will no longer be my answer the next time anyone ask me about my plan. It feels so good to finally able to see the road ahead! =D Before any further thoughts and planning on that, I shall at least finish my assignments first. First thing first! =)

*

I guess I really should go out and check if there's really a ghost or something out there =@

Choices in life

2010-03-09T01:20:00.004+08:00

There's a lot in mind my these days. Watching the clock ticks, looking the crosses on the calendar and keep showing a blur face when different people keep throwing the same questions to me over and over again, I know I should have plan something for my future earlier. And in fact, I should at least have a plan in mind by now. But sad to tell, I seriously don't have a clear picture of what I'm going to do 2 months later. And I really hate to give the answer, "I don't know".

Life is about making choices and there are lots of options lay in front of me but I just couldn't make up my mind and worst, I doubted myself and questioned my ability to actually go for something erm .. I once considered a dream. It's silly for me to consider again and again when there's actually a chance to make the dream come true for most people might just jump at the opportunity and give it a try without thinking much. I know I'm extremely indecisive when it comes to this. But to me, all the decision we make in our life shape our future and indirect shape who we are in the future and I just don't want to simply make a rash decision just for the sake for, you know, making a decision.

Tell me, what should I do?

new hair style, new colour =D

2010-03-02T01:28:00.001+08:00

Suddenly got a call from Kai Zheng last week, asking us to go "bai nian" again. Considering I was going to stone at home, I happily agreed. Went to Sin Tien's and Ai Nie's place last Saturday and Sin Tien made us pizza! =D

The one with tomyam paste tasted good!

Us at Sin Tien's house

At Ai Nie's .. Look at Kai Zheng, he was so happy XD

It was a super duper hot day with the blistering hot sun hung high in the sky with no clouds and no wind at all! And we were so unlucky that his car's aircond was suddenly not functioning! All of us were like sitting in a sauna room and I sweat like hell and at one point of time I have breathing difficulty =S I swear all my sweat added up for that day would top the total amount of sweat I would have in a normal year with my very-low level of exercise. Thanks to the heat, I think we all lose a few kilos on that day alone.

Now, referring to the title of this entry. I got my hair cut again and this time, it's much shorter and I dyed it too since the previous hair colour had faded into a golden shade.

Pei Zhi rushed to be the first to take a picture with my new hairstyle. Note that: she wants to take picture with the new hairstyle instead of me lor =(

It looks so natural that it was like my natural hair colour XD

But it looks more yellowish under lights, which was just nice for me =)

So far, almost everyone gave me "unfavorable" comments on my new hairstyle until I doubted myself and think the same too

But what the hell! I feel happy to get my hair cut! And now I even started to like it more.

I'm a person who has the need to spill everything out, no matter it's important or itsy bitsy, teeny-weeny things that had happened in my life. Being able to finally to talk about this single one thing that I had kept to myself for years, I felt great and oddly, I felt relief. Even though I couldn't hold the tears that welled up in my eyes and cried, I still am happy that I had been able to tell. Thanks for listening to me. =)

A looooong entry

2010-02-25T16:18:00.001+08:00

Sorry for leaving this place dead for a month. But I have no choice because the new charger is still not ready yet. 2 months!! Imagine that!! =S Anyway, I'm here now. =D And I found out that library's wired connection is super duper fast!! Or else, I won't be able to upload so many pics! Yea, I'm sitting in the library, typing this entry. XD I guess this will be a loooooong entry with lots of pics since I've been gone for a month.

Thanks to Darren's invitation (or else I won't know about this event), we went to Nikko Hotel to attend some sort of talk organized by the Young Corporate Malaysian last night and it was great despite the fact that I look like an idiot who knows nothing about technology. I don't even know entirely what 3G can do and now I'm attending a talk that talks a little about 4G network.

Even though I look all-confused and blurred with all the jargon and technical terms, I have to admit the speaker, Wing K. Lee, CEO of YTL Communication is a great man. Most importantly, he's a handsome, wise and humble man and he's only 42! But too bad, he's married. XD I always wonder what kind of woman these successful man are attracted to and what kind of family and life they have because most of the time, successful women are single. Correct me if I'm wrong. XD

After the talk, we went for a late dinner and headed to pavilion for a drink after dinner. As a Malaysian, I'm shame to admit I've only been there once ever since its opening few years back.

Chinese New Year is not over yet! And they have very nice decor =)

The red wine gives me a long and peaceful sleep until the very-loud sound of "grass-cutter" woke me up this morning. =.=

We saw a super big dog while we walking to the car park and even though it's huge, it look innocent and it's cute! =D The guard is very friendly and he let me touch the doggie! =D

Alright, basically, that's all the interesting thing I can talk about for now. And I'll summarized what happened on the days where I was missing in action. XD

I came across some blogs and found that Putrajaya Botanical Garden or better known as Taman Botani looks nice and interesting. And I was very excited when I know they rent out bicycles in the park. So, I ajak ji mui mun and the boys to go and we had fun cycling there. I hope Ah Ying enjoyed herself too lar coz she can't ride a bicycle on her own =p

Yin and Ying

Xiao Qi and I "qiu kan qiu" =p

With Pei Zhi

Pretending to drive "put put car" XD

The girls

Group pic

Before Chinese New Year, the 5D gang had a small gathering at Oldtown and 21st Century Cafe. I wonder why all of the gathering we had was never as successful as other classes as in the number of attendees .. Sigh~

But never mind lar since we had a great time teasing and interrogating Ducky. XD

*
*

Another thing that worth mentioning is JCI's charity marathon. We went to two charity houses this time; Rumah Charis and Sunbeams and I considered it a success because the number of participants exceeded our expectation and I think everyone worked hard to clean up the places that day =)

Shopping is of course another thing that cannot be missed! Went shopping with Pei Zhi and Xiao Qi and brought Mei Yee together too and shopped in Times Square before CNY.

One shopping session is of course never enough! I went shopping with Ah Ying too. XD

Besides shopping, I also finally had a taste of the infamous Madam Kwan's nasi lemak. =D

Before CNY, the Nilai gang also had a so-called reunion dinner in Mantin and had a great 8-course meal. Correct me if I'm wrong XD 'cause I didn't really calculate the number of dishes we had that night.

Group pic in the restaurant

Last thing worth recording, CNY 2010. Went to Suet Sze's house for steamboat and a lot of people's house to "bai nian".

At Suet Sze's house

At Hui Hui's house

At Kai Zheng's playing "chor dai D" until 3 in the morning!

At granny's place, with my cute little "bui bui"

Have you seen organic "yu shang" before?
That was the first time I "lou shang", vegetarian yu shang some more. XD

Went to Midvalley with Mista Ah Guei and Mei Yee too! It has been a long time since the last time the three of us went out together!

Had lunch at Spaghetti Farm. The foods were bad. =S

And played pool together since we don't want to waste time queueing up to get movie tickets

The pro! =p

Mei Yee and I

Kim Guei and I

The three of us =)

Guess that's all for now. Got to get ready to go home already.

I hope you enjoy reading =p

Buhbye =)

Life is unfair

2010-01-31T23:45:00.000+08:00

Life is unfair; it's never fair ..

I'm already 21! And I have the right to do whatever I want!

All I'm asking now is just freedom! Is that too much?!!

I am okay if you're being fair! But I'm totally not okay when you voice out whatever "opinion" you have on my behavior but being totally okay with the same behavior your beloved grandchildren have!

I am not like them! They have everything they want! But I'm NOT like them, at all!!

I didn't do anything wrong and it's not even your business!

So, STOP judging me!

And stop looking down at me!

6 more months later you'll know she's not the only one who excel in studies!

Job

2010-01-19T16:29:00.002+08:00

I saw people are complaining about their first day at work in Facebook and it's funny to see how things people, lecturers and friends used to told me come true. And suddenly, I realized that I might be facing the same situation 4 months later, only if I'm that lucky to immediately get a job once I finish my degree. And actually, I'm in dilemma, considering two different kinds of job that is totally different. Haih~ Anyway, whatever it is going to happen, it will happen months later. So, I shall enjoy the last four months of my student life! XD

You must be wondering why I am here without my lappie's charger. Thanks to Kok Song, who is soooooooooo generous to lend me his laptop for two weeks! Arigato muchie muchie!!! I'll take good care of your baby! =)

Omg! I saw a BIG rainbow while typing this entry!

雨过就会天晴。
只要相信明天会更好，再难过，再伤心的日子都会过去。
伊，记住你还有我们！

Queen,
I want to dedicate a song to you!
"Cry on my shoulder"
I can lend you both my ears and shoulder!
Mai xiong sim, mai kik sim already kay.

An inauspicious entry

2010-01-12T23:55:00.004+08:00

I hate to make the first entry of 2010 a bad one. But seriously, I can't help! Argh!

I'm a typical Y-generation! Having to live without lappie for more than a month almost kill me. And having to be told I have to live like this for at least two more weeks makes me want to pull my hair!

To live without facebook is not a problem but to stand the urge to read people's blogs and to blog is so unbearable! Not to mention the pics that have been piled up in my cellphone =S No lappie also means I can't start any of my assignments (even though I have only two this semester XD)! Can you imagine how I'm going to survive?!!

So, I'll be gone for another 14 days (I hope that's the maximum). I'll be back again with pics! =D Till then, remember to miss me more. LOL.

Putrajaya - "Holiday on us"

2009-12-12T12:40:00.000+08:00

This year is seriously a bad year for me. I can get hurt everywhere!!! Walking in shopping mall also can get hurt T.T Yesterday night while I was in Jusco, buying something, a little girl playing around with the trolley bump into me. There goes, finger almost broken! The bruise shows immediately, I tell you! *Sigh* Hope time pass faster and hope that I don't "fan tai sui" again next year. >.<

Accidentally found a nice spot in Putrajaya yesterday. I'll show the pics next time coz I'm using this suddenly-can-online PC in office that has no bluetooth =p

Actually, the main purpose of this entry is to share something great! I've been listening to the radio lately and I remember I heard this ads which talks about Alamanda is giving away free 8-days holiday, something like that. But I've never pay close attention to it coz I thought it is some kind of lucky draw thingy and I have never had that kind of good luck. XD

And just now, I came across a blog that talks about this shopping promotion and found out that it's actually not lucky draw, contest whatsoever. It's purely a redemption!! As long as you spend 800 bucks a day from 28th Nov to 27 Dec in Alamanda, you can redeem your free 8-day holiday for 2 pax!! Anyway, they provide only free accommodation. But when you go holiday, big portion of the money is going to be spent on accommodation, right! You can spend the money on other stuff, like getting good foods and for shopping! Since the year-end shopping sales promotion is going on now and Christmas and New Year and CNY is coming soon, why not go shop in Alamanda and get the FREE holiday!!!

I'm tempted to go! My only concern is that Alamanda don't have enough shops for me to spend that much XD Anyone wants to go shop with me? We can go holiday together! XD For more info on this promotion, use google. LOL.

By the way, I'm think I'm not going to Johor already. My mum said is not good to to people's house, considering there's someone just passed away in my family. And suddenly I was asked to "replace" my aunt to go Taiwan end on this month. I'm sorry if I disappoint anyone because I've already promised to go, like months ago. =(

Oh ya, one more thing before I end this entry, don't watch storm warrior! It makes me feel sleepy the whole time I'm watching it. =.=

Got to go, tataz =)

Shopping is the best medicine!

2009-12-07T18:33:00.004+08:00

This place is lifeless. *sigh*

No internet connection, no time! And now my lappie's charger rosak ...

And worst, I cut my finger with the scissors accidentally last night T.T

Despite the stupid charger that I think is going to cost me more than hundred bucks, the no-tv-drama life until I buy a new charger and loss some blood, my mood is still good! Because I bought two dresses yesterday! =D

Seriosuly! Nothing can beat shopping! XD

update update =p

2009-11-22T21:01:00.001+08:00

Sometimes, instead of complaining, we should appreciate what we have. I always complain the stupid connection in college but at least, I still able to upload pics with that "stupid connection". Here, I can't even upload one pic! Sigh~ I'll share some pics when the connection gets better, though I don't know will it ever get better.

I think the whole Malaysia is crazy with the movie 2012 now. Every show, everywhere, all full! But still, I managed to watch it. XD Actually, I'm not really interested to watch it after I watched the trailer because the idea of "end of the world" is a a bit outdated already, at least for me, but still, I watched it XD

An exciting movie but it's a bit unrealistic to me, in other word, too fake. XD I thought everyone on earth is going to end up like roasted pig XD but it turned out that there's only earth crust displacement and flood. And there's one thing I still don't understand; why Tamara died? The water level only increase in where she was trapped, which is between where Lily (the cute little girl, if you can remember) and where her father and others are trapped. If the water is coming in from the back of the "ship", Curtis should die first, right? *puzzle*

I've been spending most of my time watching gossip girl now. I know I'm outdated. LOL. But that's me, right! XD I might be going back to the boring office in two more days, work and earn money to go shopping like crazy. XD That's why I should enjoy to the fullest now! =p

5 more days! And New Moon will be released in Malaysia! Can't wait to watch it! ;)

Before I end this entry, I have something meaningful to share. You can make a difference! Click that!

Happy holiday! And good luck to those who are sitting for exam next week!

Tataz~

There's still hope

2009-11-20T13:01:00.001+08:00

Went to register and pay the fee for next semester just now. I asked the lady regarding the conversion of ptptn loan into scholarship thing and she said it is suppose to be applied to all universities but they have not receive any letter from ptptn yet. =( Whatever lar, I'm happy because there's still hope, only if I can get first-class, though.

And I was told that I don't need to pay anything for next semester because my account still have balance that is enough to pay all the fee. =D I'm happy! I'm happy for mama actually. XD

It's my last day for this semester! I'm going to submit an edited version of GMM assignment that fulfilled Mr. Hong's requirement; a 25 pages report, or else he's going to think that I cheated him on the word count. Just because I have 33 pages, he said my report have at least 6000 words =.= It's all because of the space and one table! Okay, I give him what he want and pray hard that he will give me what I want in return XD

I'm going to submit it now and go watch movie!!

Today is such a good day. =)

Exhausted

2009-11-17T22:46:00.003+08:00

I'm exhausted and my eye lids are so heavy now! I wanted to sleep *yawn*

Too bad that I have to prepare for tomorrow's presentation because some of the classmates have dropped the subject =(((

With 58 slides, I wonder whether I can finish everything in 25 minutes ... Sigh~

There are many photos to share! I'll blog about them later. Maybe after tomorrow.

It's only day 3 and I've already started to miss you ...

Childhood reminiscene

2009-11-16T23:58:00.000+08:00

I was arranging and sorting the pics in my lappie and found these pics. Wanted to blog about it last week but have totally forgotten about it. XD

One morning, we were sitting in canteen after brunch and were chit chatting. Can't remember who started it and we suddenly start drawing and discussing things we draw when we were little.

Remember any of these?
Do they remind you of your childhood?

How I miss my childhood! Those days when all my childhood friends would come over to my house to play every Friday, we sang together, tell ghost stories and share secrets by writing them on papers and later burn them. I miss those days when I would go out every evening, ride bicycle and play kites with them and went home unwillingly after sunset.

Back then, I was never interested in studies. I remember I was considered as a bad students in the eyes of my teachers because I always mix with those so-called bad students. And there was one incident that I will never forget even until today. Let me tell you now, in case you still do not know, I'm very unforgiving! XD

Those days, our school will provide free tuition classes for standard six students; only for the 15 best students in class and those weak students only, though. Even I was not a hardworking student, my result was okay and at that time, I was one of the 15 students who are qualified to attend the so-called "good-student" class but my class teacher violated my right by selecting her favorite student and "barred" me from the class without informing me at all! Like I said, I had no interest in studies and I have never thought of attending the class. But I was angry because the teacher never respected my right! If she have just ask me, I would happily agree to let her favorite student to take my place and attend the class. Too bad, she didn't. One small incident, she spoiled her reputation! Even until today, I can still remember her face and her name! So, remember never ever do something bad to your student, even if they're young!

I always remember people who ill-treated me. I will also always remember people who treated me well. It's easy to make me remember you; either treat me good or bad!The choice is yours XD

Small things like borrow me your shoulder when I cry,
listen to me when I sobbing without saying a word,
or buy me a lollipop can make me remember you for a long time, if not forever. =)

Thanks for the lollipop, Ying =D
And Happy Birthday!!!

Empress Orchid

2009-11-16T13:40:00.001+08:00

With the kitchen renovation going on and on in my house, there's no peace. I hope they can complete everything before this Friday, so I don't need to walk a thousand miles under the rain just to go to the toilet. =S

There's nothing I can do at home with the dust flying all over the house and with those loud noises. Last Saturday, I hide in the room for almost the whole day! I can't believe that I survived. =.=

Borrowed a book from library last Friday and had already finished it. =D Empress Orchid is the first book among all the other books I read, the stories I heard and the movies I've watched, which doesn't describe Chi Xi, Empress Orchid as a wicked woman. All other stories about her that I've read or heard all talk about her cruelty. This book, however, tells a different story which portray her loneliness and helplessness as well as her wisdom. It's something new for me because all the things I know about her is her cruelty and desire for power, and of course, her well-known story of how she learn the art of pleasuring a man in bed from a prostitute. =p

After reading this book, I wonder is it true of the saying that says no matter how powerful or wealthy or smart a woman is, she needs a man because that's what happened to this powerful woman, too.

I learn a little more about the history of China too. =p Now, I found that I am a fan of true stories. lol. I like to read about things that had really happened in this world, though most of the time they are sad stories. Though I said I like to read what had happened in other part of the world and what had happened in the past, I still hate newspapers. XD Say "Tak Nak" to newspaper. LOL.

I'll blog about my makan trip tonight if I have time ;)

Till then, I shall prepare for Thursday presentation. =)

Snow

2009-11-11T22:21:00.000+08:00

After studying in Beijing for years, Mista Ah Guei finally sent me some pictures he took. It's snow! =)

XX, you should take some pics too. =p

******

Got my GMM draft back today. Like what I've expected, I need to add more journals. =S

Finally get the stupid flow chart done today. It took me hours to actually finish it. =.= Except normal computer functions, I know nothing about computer. =.= I guess it's time to pick up some useful computer skills.

I have completed almost all the assignments for this semester and started to feel really good not to worry anything about assignments now. I know this kind of good feeling will soon turn into boredom. lol. Need to start finding ways to kill my time. XD

new hairstyle =D

2009-11-10T23:33:00.001+08:00

I'm good in exaggerating XD "How you look like now?" is the most frequently asked questions thrown to me these two days. lol. Like I said, I still have long hair. So no worries. =p

Even though I said I don't care whether the hairstyle is nice, I panicked after I took my shower on Sunday night because the hair is unmanageable! Gosh! I look like shit after I washed my hair. =S

It took me some time to actually find ways to "style" my hair. And thank god! I can step out of my room after that. XD I've never really spend time on my hair before this and I rarely take care of it, much less style it. I only know how to wash my hair and comb it. LOL.

I never use hair dryer for years and now I have to use it everyday to dry my hair and then style it. The bad thing is I have to wake up early if I have class in the morning but good thing is I didn't oversleep because I know I need time to fix my hair. XD Okay, okay .. Pictures talk better than words. Tada! =p This is how I look like now. XD

See .. Didn't change too much, right =p

******

I've been slacking these few days. Feel so unmotivated to finish my self-awareness assignment. Instead of doing assignment, I play with the kitten. =.= I know some people will start showing me a disgusted face when they see the word, cat or kitten. XD Don't worry, it's not like what you think! I didn't touch the cat. =p

After days of procrastinating, finally get it done today, except that I have no idea how to do the flow chart. =S The last flow chart I did or mind map, whatever you call it, if you still remember, is my cousin's work. I'm just really really bad in this kind of "high-tech" stuff. =( Hope I can get it done by tomorrow.

Submitted my GMM draft yesterday, the 100-references-assignment and I'm going to get it back tomorrow. I know Mr. Hong will definitely ask me to add more journals =So, tomorrow will be another headache day. =.= Hopefully I don't need to change any other other things besides adding journals lar. I need holiday!

******

This morning, while waiting for Ah Ying's daddy to come, we took some pics. =)

NUC looks nice in picture .. but sadly it's not the same case when you're really here.

I love this pic! The Queen has her cute side too! LOL.

I'm running out of idea on what to write. I'll just end this post with a pic of us ;)

=Good night=

A new beginning

2009-11-08T21:51:00.001+08:00

Putrajaya is a place that means a lot to me. The transition in my life took place here 3 years ago and that transition has brought me to a better life, a happier life, which I am having now.

I always believe that this is a magical place; it is a place that can make people walk out from sorrow. Yesterday, once again, I set foot to this magical place in hope to make a change to my life, together with exactly the same person who brought me here 3 years ago. The only difference is he doesn't know anything this time because I lied to him. I feel sorry but I hate to tell story.

Compared to the last time, this time my so-called problem is a very tiny one. In fact, it's not really a problem but I hate it because it bothers me and affects my mood.

From worrying whether something bad had happened to questioning whether I did something wrong. I started to ask myself - why should I care? And I have no answer to my own question. There's no good reason for me to care whatever is going on.

I decided to let it go. Just like the car. The faster the better.

Because I know better than anyone else that there's always a choice.
There's always better things waiting ahead.
There's always lights if you search hard enough.

By the way, mama bought me a new pair of earrings and I cut my hair today. Some kind of hairstyle that you don't usually see on me.

I don't care whether it's nice. What I really care is I know I actually have the courage to allow someone to cut my hair like that; something I rarely do.

A new hairstyle also signifies a new beginning, right?

Don't get heart attack if you see me tomorrow. =p

I'm just exaggerating XD I still have long hair lar.

Enough of emo posts. I had too many of these last week. I hope from tomorrow onwards, I'll have good things to tell. =)

I'm fading away

2009-11-06T15:20:00.001+08:00

I could eat without tasting the food.

I could walk without knowing where I'm heading to.

I could work without putting my heart and soul into it.

I could sit and stare out the window, lie on the bed, eye-wide for hours.

I could let only one sentence or one image keep playing in my mind the whole day.

I feel like an empty nutshell.

The never-going-to-end bad luck

2009-11-04T20:14:00.003+08:00

I can't see the end of my bad luck. Shitty things keep happening to me!!! WTF!!!

Have you seen someone who have the room key but can't get into the room?

Why is this happening to me?!!

I'm using exactly the same key but I can't unlock the padlock, even after I tried it for like 10 minutes. Argh!!!

FML!!

Snapple

2009-11-04T17:57:00.005+08:00

I remember reading about this product in one of the marketing text book .. and surprisingly I saw One Stop Shop is selling it yesterday. Ah Ying and I were eager to try new things, especially something that look nice. XD

There we go, burnt RM5.50 for one bottle of this drink =.=
Though it is expensive to have some kind of drink that taste like ribena, but my grapeade is nice. =)
Have not tried Ah Ying's because she complaint that it taste bad =p

Found a little surprise under the bottle cap.
Did you know that dragonflies cannot walk? =p

As promised, pics we took last month during MZ's birthday celebration =)

I like the book, "Personality Plus". I awed at the accuracy of the test and how it describe me. It's so true! A highly recommended book for those who want to know themselves more. =)

Note to self: Accentuate the positives, eliminates the negatives.

Saw this somewhere, I like it very much =)

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow.
If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder.
If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow.
If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile.

p/s: Acupuncture works, I can now turn my head half way to the left.

Acupuncture

2009-11-02T18:18:00.002+08:00

After suffering from neck pain for more than one day. I've finally went to see a doctor. And yes, Hong Rui, I came back in one piece. XD So, I'll be waiting to go Broga =p

While waiting for my turn ..
I looked "calm" but in fact, I was terrified.

My face was facing down and those feeling that not knowing what the sifu will do next is terrible! Worst of all, I saw there are boxes of needles behind the bed. So, whenever I sensed the sifu walked near there, my palm sweat. I keep praying hard that sifu won't ask me to do acupuncture treatment. But my prayer doesn't work. =.=

Though I've seen it many times, I've never had acupuncture before this. The thought of having to let a looooooooooong needle penetrate into my skin is killing me. =S Anyway, I survived. =p Surprisingly, it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would and sifu told me it doesn't hurt that much if it is done on the neck than on hand or leg. And in fact, his massage is much more painful than the acupuncture treatment itself that I almost teared.

I was told that the neck pain is caused by hard-work and lack of rest. =S I was asked to go back, eat and sleep. And I have to try to sleep early try not to sit in front of the computer for too long, or else it will take a longer time to cure. I listened to him, I took my brunch and headed back to my room and sleep! But it's impossible not to face my lappie! It's already week five! And the deadline for the other two assignments is approaching! T.T

I wonder whether he could me help to write a letter stating that I cannot work too long, so I can submit my assignments late. LOL. Anyway, I know that's not possible.

Say sorry to my neck and promise to repay her back after week six. =p

p/s: Thanks for the calls, ji mui mun and thanks to everyone who show concern. I appreciate that a lot. =)

Updated:

Read his blog just now and I feel shame of complaining the little pain on my neck. There's people having deep pain for losing someone they love and people who have to endure the pain of going to lose someone soon and here I am complaining over the teeny weeny things. Seriously, live and show your love as if there's no tomorrow!

2009-11-01T10:26:00.001+08:00

我现在的心情是烂到！！
女王常用的一句话现在最适合形容我！
我很委屈！！觉得自己很可怜！很生气！也很痛！
痛的是颈项。。

早上在洗澡的时候，颈项莫名其妙的痛。。
我从没试过睡歪了颈，所以也不知道它们的痛有没有一样　。。　
我只知道我痛得飚泪。。

觉得很委屈，很生气是因为那住在同屋檐下的陌生人竟然还拼命的崔我快点准备回学校。。
连我吃早餐的时间也剥夺。。
更过分的是看见我痛得泪水直飚，却也懒得过问。。
到了学校就任由我自生自灭。。拍拍屁股就走人。。
我还要来回跑两趟才把东西统统搬上楼。。
到了房门外，才发现忘了把包包带回来。。
没钱包，没钥匙！我是要怎样啊？　

我真的觉得我很惨　。。　
功课没赶完　。。
明天还要present那没赶完的功课　。。　
我的霉运到底什么时候才消失？　

我气我不争气。。
为了个像他这样的人生气得在哭。。

如果哪天我成了个铁石心肠的女儿　。。　
我希望有人会明白
一个像他这样不负责任　。。
待亲人如外人　。。　
自私自利　。。
吝啬的父亲和丈夫　。。

一个没同情心的陌生人　。。　
一点都不值得别人的同情　。。　

Down

2009-10-31T00:44:00.001+08:00

It's raining and i'm feeling down for no reason... I desperately need to talk... I think it's actually more like i need someone to talk to me. Thanks for the call and all the talking, i'm feeling much better now. :) Good night.

snap snap snap

2009-10-30T15:38:00.001+08:00

My life is bored!!!

Assignments assignments assignments ...

Food Food Food ...

Sleep Sleep Sleep ..

Like a pig .. except that I use my brain ..

***

I can't seem to get enough sleep and food these days ..

I overslept almost everyday ..

And

Eat tonnes of foods everyday ..

But

Still crave for more after two hours ..

I'm going to be FAT =(

Finally found something new and interesting to do last night. XD

Snap snap snap!

Talk Talk Talk ...

LOL.

I love the yellow colour pic in the middle! =)

We're definitely going to do this again ..

Just wait XD

Back pain

2009-10-27T22:47:00.001+08:00

I wonder whether back pain is a kind of transmittable disease. =S

Pei Zhi!!! I'm also having serious back pain now!!!! T.T

I hope McDonald's can help to relieve the pain.

I am going to pack my things and go fill up my stomach with burger and ice cream!

Dream

2009-10-27T00:17:00.001+08:00

Finally I'm back to Nilai after 3 days. I've been slacking these few days, very unproductive. Not much progress on assignment, except that I have got 2 testimonials for self awareness second assignment (if that counts XD)

One thing I love about this module is that it makes us sit down and think who we really are and what we really want in life. Like Ms. Kala said, I bet not many people actually sit down and think what kind of person they really are. And maybe even more people don't know what they really want in life, just like me. I think I know myself quite well but I have no clue on what I really want and what I want to achieve in life. Yea, I know it sounds a bit pathetic for a person who lived for 21 years on earth. =( Anyway, it's a good thing that I am forced to think about that now, though I still don't have any single idea on that yet.

Another thing I love is I have the "right" to ask people to write me testimonials! LOL. How often you get the chance to ask someone to write what and how they think of you with such sound reason? =p I love to know how people think of me, especially when they put it in words because they will sit down and seriously think of what to write and not just cin cin cai cai, simply give you a sentence or two to shut your mouth. And you'll be surprised to know how your friends think of you, at least I am. And you'll feel warm and loved! =)

Quote of the day: Nothing happens ... but first a dream.

Guess I shall dream big first. So, something big and hopefully great will happen.

Till then, I shall go to bed and start dreaming. XD

Good night =)

Turn PTPTN into scholarship!!

2009-10-24T12:16:00.001+08:00

Tada .. surprise! I'm using an unknown wireless connection now, at home. Yea! At home. =p Don't ask me where it comes from, I don't know. LOL.

***

Thanks to the stupid kereta tak-tau masa, I had a hard time being stuffed in the sardine can for half and hour yesterday =.=

And I wanted to take back my words about the forgive and forget thing I talked about in my previous entry. Some people just don't deserve it, he don't even deserve sympathy.

***

Despite those bad things, there's a good news too. I was listening to the TV news while I was having dinner last night (yes, listening to tv because eyes are too busy focus on the foods) and something caught my attention but I couldn't hear it clearly because my brother keep making noise beside me. >.< Later, got a phone call from Bi Yang, telling me about the news too.

And yesterday night was the first time in my life that I pay so much attention to our country's budget. Yup, budget 2010. You know why? Because PTPTN loans will be converted to scholarship for students who got first class honors!! Wow!! That was the best news ever! (Only if I can get first class honor, though)

If I missed it, I will be in debts right after I graduate. I have to work harder and harder and harder and harder from now onwards! Imagine I got 69.5 and because of that 0.5, I have to be in debts for the years to come. =S NO! I don't want that! Work hard! Work hard! Work hard! *Stress*

Now, I have a question. Can I take out the remaining amount of my "loan", even after the loan being converted into scholarship? XD

Change your thoughts

2009-10-22T21:44:00.004+08:00

We had an activity in class this morning. And thanks to Judson's brilliant idea, our group was the first runner up. XD It was fun! And I found that everything can be fun, as long as you participate, something I think I don't do often =p

The "tower"

Watched another video clip just now and it made me realize just how fortunate we all are. Thank your parents for not giving up on you and raise you up despite all the bad circumstances. And in my case, thanks to my mum! Even though I hate to think that my father has any contribution for this, still, without him, maybe I won't be here today; at least he's one of the people who brought me to this world. Guess this is first step and a big leap in my quest for inner peace by letting go something I grasp so tightly for years and start to forgive and forget. Oh, well, maybe not forget.

Got a meaningful email from Ms. Gowrie today. Usually I'll just read them and leave it just like that and most of the time, I'll totally forget what I read the next day. After all, we know all these, just that most of us don't do what we know is right. But this time, I saved them and decided to share it one by one and also to remind myself. ;)

Quote of the day: Change your thoughts and change your world.

p/s: Thanks to me curiosity and itchy hand, it annoys me every time I see my notes in fb and I finally figured out how to remove the automatic blog-importing thing in fb just now. V^_^V

A happy day

2009-10-21T17:45:00.001+08:00

As the title suggests, today is a happy day. There's no bad things, only good things happened today. Hopefully this is the beginning of my good luck. =p

I don't know whether I'm really that clumsy, or I really having bad luck this year. Or maybe like my aunt said, there's ghost XD I kept injured myself throughout the year. I fell down once earlier this year and scraped my knee. Then later get six stitches on my scalp during my first visit to Broga. And last week, I fell down all of a sudden and scrape my knee, again. I don't even know why I fell down, my legs just feel weak suddenly and there I go, "pom". Luckily, my lappie is safe. =.=

I get a new hobby recently, to be exact, this hobby is only two-day old now. Just like Judson said, there are many videos being posted in Facebook lately and I started to watch them. It's rare for me to do this in college, considering the super slow connection I have and my super-duper impatient character. Nowadays, I don't even view videos even when I have good connection, let alone those that sent to me by emails that require me to download them. Anyway, I just started to watch these videos in Facebook and some of them are really good clips! I love the "lost generation" and "funeral" clips! They're so good! I also found some people (and the number is growing) keep posting videosssss (there's many different videos he took of himself) of a guy singing in front of his pc and give harsh comments for his "performance". Undeniable, they're hilarious! But I pitied him for getting such harsh comments from people. =(

Beside the new hobby, nothing special or exciting happened lately. That explains the lack of updates. Wanted to blog about Ming Zheng's birthday celebration, the steamboat and sleepover in Ah Ying's house, but there's no trace of Emily and the pics she took that day because she went back to Miri this Monday. =( I'll post that entry another time, provided I still in the mood to write about it. XD

Okay, back to the main topic. Why am I so happy today.

I am happy today because Mr. Hong compliment on my work; hmm .. more on the info I found actually. Anyway, I didn't hear it firsthand because I was in toilet that time. @.@ Still, I am happy even though I'm working really hard to reduce the word count now.

I am happy today because I finally got the first recommendation letter, which later will be used in the second self awareness assignment. (Even though I am not as good as what has been written and described in the letter =p)

I am happy today because Mr. William agreed to write me a recommendation letter without hesitation and he said I can get it by next week! =)

I am happy today and feel that I'm lucky because I asked Ms. Kala to comment on the assignment I've just submitted. Initially, I do not have the plan to do that and luckily I did. So, I get a chance to improve on it by making some minor changes and possibly add in some other points. Die die also want an A. XD

I am happy today.

It feels just like the moment you see the sunlight after a long time being in the dark.

(Picture courtesy of Kah Wei's sister) and there's a lot more beautiful pics she took in Broga Hill. I'll show it next time if there's a chance =p)

One of the happiest things in life

2009-10-18T20:57:00.001+08:00

Finally got my new IC last Friday. I'm no longer look like a kid in my IC. XD Watched Whiteout last Friday night; I was like living in North pole that night. XD Meet up with "Wanted" group in Metro Point the next day. As usual, I'm still the first one to reach there =.= But this time, with Kang Hoe and Shi Wen XD

Makan, chit chat, update each other, tease each other are things we do everytime we had a gathering. Sook Yee, Pay Wen, Kang Hoe, Shi Wen leave early. So, left San Ting, Sook Fong, Suet Ling and I. Everyone still looks the same, except Kang Hoe gained weight. LOL.

Everyone looks the same but some of us changed a lot inside. I was shocked when there was only four of us and someone started to talked about something 18SX .. LOL. I still can't believe that she's the one who start the topic first, considering she was an introvert back in high school. =p
Anyway, I enjoyed the conversation. Hahaha ..

Went shopping too! And bought a pair of high heels with an incredibly LOW price! It made my day! LOL. Dear, you understand how happy I am, right? LOL. We must go shopping again someday!

I m possible

2009-10-12T23:25:00.001+08:00

The almighty YY said she's possible. XD Okay. Not me. Ms. Kala said it but she said that's not come from her too, she heard it or read it somewhere. She said Impossible = I am possible. I like that, that's why I put that as the title today. =p

This semester is going to be busy. Hmm .. I think said that every semester XD So, I have to emphasize, this will be a particularly busy semester. LOL. Or maybe I'm just trying to give myself excuses, so if I didn't do well later, I have something to blame on. =.= Can't help but to think like that lar. T.T Though it's not the first time I'm in a short semester, it's the first time I have 3 assignments in a short semester and of them is 100% coursework-based + double module =S Can someone give me some positive energy. XD

Got my forecast result last week. Can't say the results fall short of my expectation, I just don't understand why I get a B for EBP. =( I know Pei Zhi is 100% with me for this XD Why why why?? And Ms. Gowrie said if I don't get an A for Global Marketing, most probably my first class will gone. T.T Thanks to the stupid bell-shape curve OBU wants, seeing Miqdaad and his friend in the class give me horrendous stress. I have not read my favorite blogs for days, except for two on the top of my favorite list XD I have not been on facebook as much as I wanted, even though there's nothing much I do with facebook. In fact, I won't be here if it wasn't for the kind reminder saying that I've not been updating. Okay, I'm here also because I've finished my work for today. =p

Hmm .. that's something important to say! LOL. I always plan before I do something. But for people who know me well, I will also keep giving excuses to myself, postponing and delaying all the things I've plan. But this time, to be exact, today, I managed to stick to my plan and finished all the tasks I've given myself. Hwuahh! It feels gooooooood! And I have already planned for tomorrow before I start typing this entry. Hopefully tomorrow it will be the same too!

Someone helped me buy a book and it costs double the price of the books we usually buy. It better be good read, or else I'll cry. LOL.

And hopefully it will make me understand men and get me a good bf, if there's any on earth. LOL.

Actually the main purpose of this post is to share a picture I took few days ago. But it has now become a "complimentary" point already. LOL.

Took this beside the Malay stall in canteen.
The cat was sleeping with this pose. lol.
I guess it's too bright out there, it has to cover the eyes to sleep well. LOL.

I think this entry is long enough to keep you busy reading. =p Now, I shall go do something with the ulcer, it's killing me! Good night. =)

Generosity

2009-10-07T21:10:00.002+08:00

Something happened today which made me feel like crying. Not because that I'm sad but I'm touched and grateful. The moment he said that and handed me the little piece of paper, tears started to fill up my eyes and I really don't know how am I suppose to react. I know I've said this a million times. But still, thank you ... I promise I'll work really hard to get an A for that subject.

I will not let that 100 references; 70 journals and 30 internet articles beat me down!

Sushi Zanmai + Pasta Zanmai

2009-10-06T16:05:00.001+08:00

About one or two weeks ago, I had two meals in Zanmai two days in a row =p It's different zanmai, though. Both the makan sessions are for birthday celebration =D And because I have to work on weekdays and half day for every Saturday, so both of these celebration falls on weekend.

After work on one Saturday, Bi Yang came pick me up in Kajang. Initially, we planned to go Tokyo G for lunch because I get five vouchers from my last visit; a painful experience if you still remember the cousin outing entry XD But we ended up in Midvalley. Watched a movie. Can't remember which movie already =p I can only remember we entered the wrong cinema hall for the second time! Argh! That's so very embarrassing lor >.< Worst of all, I'm the only one who have to suffer that because he went out to get another cup of mashed potato T.T I wonder why all these kind of unlucky and embarrassing things only happen when I go out with him. Get lost in the middle of the highway lar, missed a turn lar, forgot to top up touch n' go lar, and now get into the wrong cinema hall. Sigh~

Anyway, I can't remember whatever that embarrassed me that day when my stomach is growling like I didn't eat for the whole week. In fact, I can't remember this if it were not because of this entry. By the time we finished watching the movie, it's already dinner time. Imagine how hungry I was that time! Plan to go for lunch wan leh! Ended up skipped lunch. @.@

We did some survey by checking the directory in The Gardens, thinking where to eat but again, we ended up in Sushi Zanmai. I wonder when will I stop visiting this restaurant whenever I set foot in The Gardens. XD No food pictures because they don't look nice at all. How nice would the picture be when all you wanted to do is to eat immediately when the food is served? XD

Anyway, since this is his late birthday celebration, it's a must to take at least one decent picture of him. Not really a decent picture also because he's acting cute. LOL.

*
*
*

The next day, went out with Kah Wei and this time is my late birthday celebration. XD Went shopping for a while. Since I only bought one packet of my favorite biscuits, it's not really a shopping day also. =p He suggested to go Pasta Zanmai and since he is the "boss" for the day, I followed. XD

Watermelon juice

My unagi rice set
Yummy =D

His vege soup pasta
Did I mention that he's a vegetarian?
Not really a vegetarian, just not a meat-eater. XD

This is ugly, I know. But that's the only pic I face the camera XD

Acting like a devoted buddhist? =p

That's the end of the Zanmai weekend. LOL. Boss, thanks for the meal! ;)

I'll update again. Hopefully soon =)

Second last day =p

2009-10-02T16:35:00.002+08:00

Lalala .. I am so free now! That's why I'm here. XD There's no one in this department now except Chong and I and there's nothing for me to do. So sien eh! I think some people might have already started to scold me because I'm complaining there's no work. LOL. But you have to understand that I have no access to both ebuddy and msn. In fact, it's already very x 100 fortunate because I can at least access to internet; to only certain websites, though. (Anyway, I am truly happy that I found out that computer in this department can access to internet. Hahahaha .. )

Actually, I have nothing to blog about. But seriously, I have nothing to do and I don't feel like reading too. So, here I am, staring into the computer screen, thinking what to write in the hope that time will pass faster. =p Ohh, wait wait. I suddenly remember there's some pics in my handphone. Ahem, with my intelligence, I managed to transfer the pics into this old version computer that has no bluetooth. I know I'm smart. Hahahaha ..

So, here's the pics =D

Yummy strawberries!

Before Kah Wei went to Cameron Highland, I "wat" him to buy me strawberry. =p Although he bought it because I ask him to, still, thank you! =D

And he bought flowers too! Hahaha ..

Just few hours before he come to my house, I heard an actress in a Hong Kong drama said yellow roses means "sat luen" - what is that called in English? XD

Just ended a relationship?
Lost someone you love?
Aiya, whatever lar.
You get what I mean, right? LOL.

I'll update again after I got the pics I took during my late birthday celebration ;)

p/s: Tomorrow is Saturday. It's last day of work! And it's shopping day! Yippie! =D

Accidental discovery

2009-09-28T15:19:00.001+08:00

Guess what? I found a computer that can access to Internet in the office, which obviously is the one I am using now. XD It's an accidental discovery, okay; I did not go to try my luck on every computer in the office. lol.

I can access to websites, and my favorite blogs. Can even shop online, I think. =p Unfortunately, this pc can't open any pop up window, so I can't log in to ebuddy. Can't log in msn via window messenger either. So, you can't see me online. =p Anyway, I've just installed ebuddy into my handphone last week. But I had no idea why it can't display my contact list, maybe the 3G connection is not good enough. Hmm ...

I started to miss Nilai already! Hmm ... I think I'm more like missing my student life. =p Working in the office is just so bored!! Anyway, it's still better than facing the walls at home everyday.

I'll update again when I got the pics I took last weekend. And I am so looking forward to the coming Saturday! Say yes to shopping! LOL. Most importantly, say bye to office. XD

Till then, I shall go ask my "boss" what's my next task ;)

Lonesome

2009-09-24T16:47:00.001+08:00

It's 4.10 in the evening. Instead of working, i found myself sitting in front of the desk, stoning. What make this worst is, it's already the second day which i've got nothing to do in the office, except reading book and, 'fishing'... Now, i wonder why i've been here in the first place. Sigh~ I wish i could sit down somewhere facing a lake, or better, the sea and let the wind blow to my face. I don't mind if it makes my hair tangled, i just really need a moment like that, alone. All alone.

I'm officially 21!

2009-09-22T22:14:00.001+08:00

The title tells it all. It's my 21st birthday. I'm officially an adult now. 10 days before my birthday, I had a bbq birthday party at granny's place. I invited only college mates. If any of my high school friend happens to read this, please don't be angry, okay? XD I know it very well that I will not be able to entertain so many people at once. In fact, I can't entertain all of them that day. =S I'll let the pictures do the talking. ;)

Group pic

It was my birthday celebration. But I'm not the "g kok". The kids are. XD Everyone wants to take pics with them. And no one choi me! T.T I'll show you some of the evidence! Hmmph ..

The potential good father =p

See!

See! See! I told you so! LOL.
There's still loads of them! These are just the tip of the iceberg lor! XD

And in the end, they finally notice me.
Poor me. LOL.

That's the end of the "10 days before my birthday" story. =p

*
*

Months before my birthday, Nei and I had plan to go for a nice meal. And we wanted to go Sango Japanese Restaurant at first. But only to find out that we need to reserve a table before we go around 4 and ended up everyone agree to go some other place.

Before going out =p

We decided to go Midvalley. But, but, but, we made a wrong turn. So, we end up going to 1U and had our dinner in Tokyo G (previously Sushi Groove), I was told that the restaurant had been bought by another company, so, it has a new name now. Gosh, I tell you what! It's expensive and it's not nice =( 6 sushi dishes and one curry pasta costs us more than 130 bucks and we're not full =S We ended up, went to another Thai restaurant for second round.

Nei and Hui

Soon and I

Spent 50 bucks but it's not worth at all! Sigh~ If no accident, I'll be going to Sango this coming Friday. =D And I am looking forward for the free dinner on the coming Sunday. XD

Lastly, thanks for all the sms, phone calls, email and facebook messages! Especially DX's "banana cake" .. LOL. You surprised me! =)

Putting aside the fact that I've already celebrated my birthday ten days ago, I am so lonely today. T.T I hope I don't need to spend the coming birthday stoning at home the whole day.

Till then, I shall go back home! Buhbye =)

Pursuit of happiness

2009-09-19T21:16:00.002+08:00

I just got to know that I have to work on Saturday last night, though it's just half day.

ISO records are done, salary slips and MC slips also done. And today I am dealing with passports, smelly passports. =.= Gosh, they make my nose feel so so so uncomfortable and until now my nose still have that kind of feeling, like something is inside it. Not to mention I had flu. @.@

I've finally finished reading "Change of heart"! And I like this book better =p It's a good choice that I read my sister's keeper first. Or else I might feel even disappointed with its ending, though change of heart does not have a happy ending either =( But at least it is better, because there's miracles! =) There's one phrase I like but couldn't remember the exact sentence. I'll share it another time. =)

Went back home after lunch and watched "Pursuit of happiness". It make me feel so bad. Feel so bad to see some people struggle so much in their life. And it reminds me something.

Many people say money is the root of all problems. But to me, no money might be even worst. You can call me materialistic because I always talk about money and think money is very important. I bet everyone thinks the same, just everyone sees its degree of importance differently. If you have experienced the pain of no-money, how it change your life, turn your life up-side-down, then you'll understand how important money is. No matter how perfect your life is before; having a perfect husband or wife, perfect family. It will all vanish when the problem of money arises.

Watch "Pursuit of happiness" and you might be able to understand how it feels to have no money in your pocket and bank account. And tell me, you want to be called a money-minded, materialistic person or you want to worry about how you going to live through the days before you get your pay, dragging people you love together with you.

I would rather be called filthy rich and materialistic. Having the life I want, give my future children (if I'm going to have any =p) the best things in life.

I believe money is not the source of happiness. I also believe it is not the root of problems.

But I am certain that no-money will bring pain.

p/s: I'm going to Sango! Hopefully my cousin can find out how to go there =p Or else, we'll have to settle for other alternatives.

Birthdays~

2009-09-18T22:56:00.003+08:00

Nothing special happen today. No particular reason for why I'm here. Just bored because there's nothing to do now, except eating the cake beside me and blogging. Ohh, and busy sneezing. LOL.

Okay, let's see what I've done before the sem break. Besides assignments and exam, there's something happy happened too. =)

1. 7th Sept was Bi Yang's birthday. So, we had a little surprise for him. =)

I tell you what, the bananas inside the cake are really hard!
Very hard to cut. But I like. Hahaha ..

I took this pic!! And I like it very much! LOL.

2. Then is Seow Chie and Sing Yee's early birthday celebration.

We headed to Jusco Seremban right after exam. Bought sushi, birthday cake and went to GreenBox; the second time I stepped into a karaoke XD

If I'm not being forced to sing, I'll be really glad to tag along. So, Mr. Cheah, please don't keeping pushing the mic to me and ask me to sing. After all, I didn't zip my mouth, I sing also; just that I don't want to use the mic.

Tiramisu
Emily's and Yoke Ying's choice =p

The "birthday" girls
It's still not their birthday yet.
But still, Happy birthday!! =D

I love how the candles look in the pic *heart*
So nice, right? =)

3. Before I forget, I have another new love! And it beats all of my other favorites! LOL. Few weeks ago, my aunt gave me one bar of this apple-flavor candy and I fell in love with it immediately! The good thing is Emily told me it's available in Malaysia. =D

And she bought these after my exam. I love ya, darling! =p

Almost 10!
I got to go home! Happy holiday! =)

And also, an early birthday wish to Mista Ah Guei! =D
Buhbye~

Work

2009-09-17T21:43:00.001+08:00

It took ages for me to log in to blogger and to load this page. But I'm lucky today because I can upload pictures with the stupid connection.

Work was okay, except that my butt is pain, having to sit for 8 hours for two days in a row. But I am proud of myself because I finished the 2009 ISO records in only two and a half days. LOL. I thought I have to sit in this place 8 hours a day for four days to finish them. XD

Yea. This is where I sit in the office for the past two days.

It was years since I last stepped into Whitex. It changed so much and the office is BIG! XD It can't fit into one pic.

Now that I've finished the task they given me. I moved to HR department today. Doing something that would bored normal people to death. But luckily, I survived. Hahaha. I hope before tomorrow's lunch time, I'll finished arranging and stapling the four stacks of salary slip into the right files. =p And then, it's holiday again. What am I going to do?? And I wonder what would I do on my 21st birthday. Sigh~

I felt tired and sleepy last night, maybe because I'm sick. @.@ And went to bed early. But a phone call woke me up. @.@ And I had a conversation with someone after so long. I'm glad to be his listener, glad that we are still friends. But I'm sick of listening to all his "love stories" that are not love story. Love isn't about who make the first move first. Who say "I love you" first. Love don't come and go so easily, like you accepted someone just because you have the right mood at that time and after few minutes you feel she's not like what you've thought and you want to say goodbye. At least that's what I think. And it sounded childish to me the way he put it. Not just last night but everytime he talk about relationship. And I feel really uncomfortable listening to him telling the similarities the "she" and I have. =.= I'm me! And she's not me! We're different.

I'm like to remember all the things in my life. Both good and bad things that happened in the past. But sometimes, something aren't the right thing to talk about. Something that you would keep in your mind and your brain but would never want to dig it out to talk and discuss, especially with certain people! After so long, he never seem to understand that. Though I hate to admit it, though I hate it when I feel really bad to know I regretted, I wanted to erase the bad memories desperately, as if they never happened. But then, if it wasn't those days, I wouldn't be who I am today.

Okay, I shall stop all these issues that might made people fall asleep. =p

I've finished reading "The sister's keeper" and I am sad because of the ending. T.T It's so very unexpected. Sigh~ Anyway, I've started reading another book I borrowed from the library on Monday. And it's good. It takes effort to actually put the book down. If I'm not working, I think I've finished it by now. LOL. Jodi Picoult is a great author! And thanks to someone who recommend me to read her books =)

It's almost 10. I think I better go now. Good night. =)

Holiday

2009-09-14T11:57:00.001+08:00

I'm stoning in the library. Waiting for someone. Thinking whether I should borrow the book; and if I were to borrow it, how am I suppose to return it two weeks later? Hmm ...

So, exam's over and now I have three-week-holiday. For the first time, I welcome it with great joy because it marks the end of my super duper busy semester. A very stressful semester.

There's a lot to tell and some photos to show. Sadly, I have no internet connection at home. And I can't upload photos with the super slow connection at granny's place either. I'm hoping that I will still in the mood to upload them and do the story telling when the connection gets better.

There's so many things I wanted to do and most importantly, to EAT! But I have to work. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be able to go to work because that means there will be money flowing in. LOL. And I don't need to stay at home and stare at the ceiling or the wall, trying to think of ways to kill my time. Plus, I think I need to work only five days a week, so, I'll still have time! =)

I'm going to start working tomorrow and I hope I can access to the internet in the office. XD

Just like the streetlight; lonely and helpless ..
There's no one to depend on .. Not even a shoulder to cry on ..

Looking at the bright side, at least there's still a moon ..
Though it is very far away ..

Wipe the tears and continue the journey ..

You can do it!

Sat for another paper today. Although we're only required to answer three questions, the time given is only ngam ngam for me to finish writing all my answers; no time to check the answers at all. And the answers for these three questions have made me write almost 8 full pages. @.@ But it's not going to earn me an A. I know. I know that very well. =(

This is the one and only semester I write so many words ever since I entered college. (If ENG 114 is excluded =p) We have journals that require us to write with our own hands, no typing and pasting are allowed and I almost finish the whole notebook; all full of words @.@ Anyway, I think it is a good "exercise" for my fingers; to train them write faster in exam. Hahaha .. Okay, so, now MOE and EBP are done. I'll be sitting for IMC and Marketing research's papers next week and then it will be holiday! =p And I will be welcoming the day that mark 21 years of my life. I will be officially an adult. XD Anyone wants to bring me to casino. LOL.

Time flies!! 19-year-old seems very distant now, even though it's just 3 years ago. Sigh~ I'm old already. =p Even though I've not achieved anything significant YET, I am satisfied with what I have now; my life is now way better than 3 years ago! But I am sure they are not enough! Hahaha .. So, in the years ahead, I will be working harder to achieve bigger goals in life! Well, there's a lot to say when it comes to this topic. I'll save it for another entry. Maybe on 22 Sept! ;)

I'll post another entry tomorrow. Something I promised a long time ago. =p I need time to arrange the photos and make collages. =D

I shall go to bed now. Good night =)

One down, three more to go!

2009-09-01T20:12:00.001+08:00

It was suppose to be a really nice morning to sleep. But the very annoying noise of grass cutter woke me up early in the morning. >.< Had breakfast and waited for the rain to stop so that I can meet the guys in library. (I've promised them last night) Just right after I finished breakfast, they called. =.= Went to the library, only to find out they're more of sleeping there rather than studying. S=.= Walked to the book shelf, check on the second last row of the book shelf that holds all the fictions and found the book I wanted to read since a long time ago was still there. Happily, I grabbed it and start reading.

Today is a rainy day. It rained for almost the whole day. How nice if there's no exam today. =p Had wantan soup before entering exam hall. And finished all the questions and checked them once. Then, it's time already! I thought I was going to finish it early, but I didn't. Hmm .. it's not as easy as it seems XD But I think the paper is okay. =p So, there are three more papers left now. I can't remember when was the last time I was sitting for so many papers in one semester already. I really miss the time when I was only sitting for one paper! Argh!

Every step I made toward the exam hall makes my heart beat accelerate. My heart beats so fast and there's butterflies in my stomach. =S I hate that feeling and I'm glad that it's over now. Haha .. And hopefully I will not experience the same feeling again for the next three papers. The great creator, please make me put down A thousand splendid suns and do my revision again. >.<

To the "adorable" XX,

Only three more days left. I don't know why I somehow felt a bit sad when you said bye bye ah jie just now. =( Anyway, 天下没有不散之宴席 and this is not the end of our friendship! I wish you all the best in your studies! And come back after 4 years! =)
