Campaign (Post 2)

The BIG day

We all rush to Uni early morning, as there is a trial-run to be done. Our supervisor, Ameer Joshua was there to assist and give comments.

(The rehearsal was supposingly done one day before the actual day, unfortunately, we are not ready)

When we arrive not long, the trial begun. Mr Ameer Joshua was sitted behind and evaluate out rehearsal. Usherers (am one of them) was in a big hoo-haa. We do not know where to stand... who to present.. it was all so confusing. The sockets went loose on the PA system. All sorts of stuff went wrong. The MC were nervous.. etc etc. Nothing could be done.. We got a bad evaluation by the supervisor esp since the rehearsal was only an hour or so away fr the actual one. The trial run really was a big mess.

All of us started to get tense up and worried.

Oh well, that was in the beginning.

It actually turn out pretty well in the end. The usherers din really mess up ( I hope not.. since I am one of them ). The PA system din let us down. Everything went rather smoothly. The audience... THEY CAME... loads of them... more than we expected esp since our campaign was held on a Saturday on the holiday week ( Deepavali and Hari Raya ).

Oh... our campaign ambassador, Gary Yap came as well as the 8Team gang. All thanks to Simpson, he is the one organizing all this. Cool eh? Gary sang 2 songs... Oh.. there is this cool kid from Irene's church who also sang a few songs during the interval. I must add that his voice is damn COOL and DEEP.HhEhhe... and he is only 15!!! (Gavin, beware *HEhE*...you meet your competitor ).

The 8 Team bunch was fun... giving out loads of freebies such as mags, car stickers etc. We also manage to give out loads of gifts and prizes during the lucky draw session (one night at Genting, tickets to Genting Theme Park, 3 months subscription for Cleo, Nuskin products, CDs that worth RM2000...etc etc).

I was totally shagged out after the campaign.. not getting any younger. I slept like a pig once I got home after everything was over.

Got a call later fr Bin to hang out. Hey! It's Saturday. S'more , Gavin, Alan, Amy, San and loads more are they.

Haaaa.......

This is the "HUNGER" that all the VIPs will crush it down during the launch of our event to symbolize that we need to 'demolish' hunger (Jasmine and Sen Yau in pix).

Campaign (Post 1)

Theme : 0% Hunger

The reason of having this campaign is to fulfill the audience with the knowledge of World Hunger with the help of World Vision Malaysia. This campaign aim to let the audiences of the event to learn about World Hunger; its causes, effects, and what we as individuals can do to lend a helping hand.

The campaign was on 28 October.

This campaign was held due to our coursework assignment in our final year subject, "PR campaign". I must say I had work with a bunch of wonderful team mates and had an amazing time. Of course, there's ups and downs during the preparation of the campaign... that's why its call team work, eh? Anyway the lil weenie dispute that happen now and then is also because of wanting the campaign to be a success. So what the heck!... we all had a good time and its an experience, lastly it did went well. A big round of applause to all of us in the team... esp to the leaders. *HUGs*

Books and Cds

It was just last week, I went out for a drink with Sen Hau, my cousin.

He was the only cousin that I am close with. Reason being... we just 'CliCk'.

He suddenly brought up the subject why can't I borrow books to his sis. Obviously, we ended up in this big discussion that goes no where... which in the first place, his sister din even wanted to borrow my books. I, personally, think that Sen Hau just wanna brought it up for fun... and make my adrenalin perk up a lil... well it did !

It's not that I do not like to borrow books to people. It's just everytime when I DO... I will in the end regret it.

I remembered once, Tracy borrowed a book of mine, by Jemima J., I totally lurve that book. Oh well... to my horror, she returned a dried up book ( it really look like 'ham choy' to me).

She brought along the book to read in one of her flight. Unluckily, she forgotten to tighten up her bottle of water and eventually her whole cabin bag was wet, which include my book.

The thing is.. she dared to return the exact same book to me. HUH!! Oh well.. let bygones be bygones... I was not really mad at her but instead, I just keep a reminder to myself "NO NEXT TIME". Friendship is always first before a book, eh?

Anyway, there must be a few things that a person treasure most.... it might not be really expensive but just... because.. you treasure it.

There is another thing to... I learnt.. not to borrow CD's. A big N-O ( I also learnt my lesson well.. on quite a few occasions). What's the problem?? Can't they burn it and just return it. It's nothing personal... it's just my CD's!!

So that's it.. I love my books and my music. What's wrong with that!

Oh! In the end, guess who wins... HIM! He manage to con me to borrow my watch.
I met up with him yesterday for K-ok, he even told me he wore it to work. The nerves he got... *Sigh* (I wonder when does metrosexuality really kicks in... Guys! starting to wear female watches).

Poem

I'm old my son, I've lived my life.

I have had my time.

The winter cuts me like a knife,

when summer was once mine.

My world is gone,yours took its place.

My youth has since passed by.

I look long at my wrinkled face,

and know that next am I.

The time I have is not much left.

So, soon I must abide

the daemon responsible for the theft

of life before I've died.

So, in parting my son, let me say,

I have this one last gift to give.....

Don't let time take life away,

before you really live.

Was browsing on the web, this very poem caught my attention. I think its beautiful.
It was taken from a forum by Dances with Chainsaws, 04-16-2003, 02:31 PM

The Web

"What a tangle web we weave, when we first practice to decieve"

Deposit

Argh... the long wait for my beloved.

As my mini iPod went kaput on me.. *sIgh*, I finally decided to get another new one.

I went to MacAsia.. only to find out that I need to deposit in advance to secure my iPod.

The fella says "it's high in demand". Of coz it is! if you ordered like one or two iPod each time the container is here.

Damn...

So here I am unwillingly but in-need of my iPod deposited RM200 and the wait... minimum 2 weeks. ... WhY Oh Why...

Sigh...

Blood and Flesh

My parents is in town this whole hol week rather than us in Ipoh.

My mum and I went to visit her fren at Kelana Jaya today and head home around 10pm.
I was driving back home using LDP.
Coming near to the bridge at the OneU, this blardy black Waja, which was on the left lane speed up suddenly and cut into my lane.

I din notice there is a dead animal lying on the left lane... I guess the blardy black Waja tried to escape the path BUT obViousLy miss IT! In the end, the poor animal tumbled along with the wheels while the Waja cut into my lane.

TO MY HORROR, the blood and a few chuck of flesh splash to my left side of my car and my front screen.

Believe me, It Was Gross.

It never occur to me that I will ever knock a dog down while I was driving.
I even thought that if it really really ever happen, I will need to become vegetarian for one whole year or oh well, or half a year. I really love dogs. I will never be able to forgive myself if it ever happens.

But never once I thought that this very incident will happen. The blood and flesh of a dead dog ON my CAR.

Lucky thing, my dad was here. He helped on the clean up. I can't even look at it.. I nearly puke.

Eww!!!

DELiCiouS...

After the thesis, I am kinda busy with the campaign.
This is sorta like our last campaign as this will be our final smester and then we will be free!!



I was at my frens place the whole day today to do the backdrop of our campaign.



Obviously I need food.. as all the energy wasted on the cutting and painting.

Anyway... I sure am lucky to food. Not long after we started, my stomach is growling and grumbling. Obviously, I am hungry!! Grace offered to cook Maggi Mee. How can I not refuse! Especially someone will be cooking it!

Naturally the maggi mee is YummY.. I finish of the tea time with a COLD can of COKE!

It's drizzling during evening, so I decided to stay longer as the traffic will be quite bad plus the work seems like never ending.

Evening means DINNER TIME!!!!


I was worried bout my dinner.. later, Penny and Janelle invited me to had dinner with them. HehEHe.. and yet again... How could I not refuse!!! Adding to that happy news, Grace sis - Joyce who is cooking dinner at their unit cooked SouPy as well... and I LuRRVvEEee SoUp. Knowing that, my dear grace prepared us one big bowl of soup!!





Well.. yummy or not! hehe... the picture will do justice on it!!!

SEdAp!!

I am just so lucky!!
A simple meal.. with full satisfaction and appreciation.

THanKS!! *HUgs* to Grace, Penny and Janelle.

Penny

*PHeWww*

Alass... I manage to finish my thesis on time.
Rushing the work and sqeezing it from a six months work to one week is one hell of a hectic and stressful assignment.

Well.. I am fReEEe as a bird... *SmILZ*
Of Coz, it would not last... the campaign is coming up and blah blah blah.

Anyway..celebrated Penny's bday last Friday.. my only outing during my rushing-thesis week. Reluctant to go at first due to the thesis ( freaking Out.. as I may not be able to finish on time) .. but on HIGH request from our birthday gal.
EhEEHhe... anyway.... how could I not go... we PlAyEd 'Frog.... JuMp... Jump...'.

We arrive the place kinda late... hehe.. we need to guy cake. And we waited for half an hour for a place to sit. We arrive at the buka puasa time ( wronG Timing ).

No matter wat.. we had a good time.. despite the waiting.. and I had 'SaNg Har Mee'. KEkKEkeEke.....

Anyway, photo time...

Grace and Penny

Oh by the by, Penny's birthday wish : To get married earlier than me!

Ish.. and I am older than her... so not fair.. Here I am posting it to the world so it might not come true ( as they say.. the wish wont come true if you tell it out... ) .

*Wink*

Back to class

It's good to see my friends... but not so on the lecturers.

Oh well, the witch is still teaching us this semester. Sorry.. no offense or anything.. I just don't really like her although she teaches pretty well... but I still can't stand her voices and her naggings. *UrGgHhhh....*

Worse is that my supposing thesis on the final draft is way due the dateline. I can't even face up to my supervisor. I am the laziest among the group. I am rite now struggling to get it done as I will have to pass up the whole final thesis on the 16 Oct. Which means I have no outings till then. I will be stuck at home day and nite to finish it.. worse.. her standard is pretty high. Oh well.. I dun really have any high hopes on this thesis already... but still keeping my fingers cross.
*CroSsing*

The terrible fight

Had a terrible fight with my brother.

A fight I do not even wanna mention it in detail.

Wat is worth mentioning is the fact I finally manage to find solace from someone who is very special to me.

Hugs

( Thanks for being there... for just being there... )

Cheng Har

Right after I am back in KL,

I head down to Johor.

Cheng Har is getting married!!!!!!

Her hubbie’s family is in Segamat, which eventually means that the bridesmaids need to wake up very very very extremely early.

Cheng Har’s message to everyone of us “Be at my place at 5.15 am ok? Yeah I know it’s very early NO NEXT TIME ok ;) muaks ”.

I woke up at 4.15AM! Rushing to Cheng Har’s place on time so that we won’t be late especially before the groom arrive.

Of course, Cheng Har looks amazing.

After all the games and the tea drink ceremony, we head down to Segamat. It took around 3 hours or more to arrive there. It should be a shorter time frame but as there is quite a number of cars traveling together so we could arrive at the groom’s place together. Oh, it’s not that Cheng Har is marrying over there… just that CK’s parents are there and the dinner too. CK live in Puchong. *pHEw*

Gosh, I must say that it is tremendously hot .. the haze made a major contribution to that. When we arrive at CK’s place, we pretty tired already. I was, matter of fact, rather grumpy and easily agitated. I blame it on the heat and the early wake up. I definitely am not a morning person and it drag on till the afternoon.

Finally manage to head on to the so-called best hotel in Segamat to rest before the wedding dinner. It’s a total horror. Never before I seen such a room. It’s a total horror. Even the B&B I stayed in London a couple of years ago seems fantastic compared to this.

San, Eliza, Ai Lee, Gavin and I immediately decided we won’t stay for the night and will drive back home straight after the dinner. Reminding each other we will stay SOBER through out the dinner.

The dinner was alright until the Karaoke started. WoHoooOO… that really reach my limit. My headache began after a few songs. I can’t wait to head back.

Thanks to San, Eliza, Ai Lee and Gavin. They’ve been a gem especially when my headache started to kick in

Managed to get back home around 2am and slept like a PIG.

Ha… wat I learned is to keep reminding my close friends never to get married so far away AND not to get married so early in the morning.

Final note, I am really happy for Cheng Har. She deserves the very best and she found him. I’ve known Cheng Har for 6 years. She is really a great gal and I am really glad that she had finally found her love and ready to start another new journey of her life.

My Hugs and Kisses to both of them.

Ps. Pic later.

Hols to an end

I spent most of my free time reading during my hols. Sometimes I head down to the garden in the afternoon after lunch. It's actually kinda nice rather then reading in bed.

My last book I read during the holiday was 'My Bestfriend's girl'.

Can't resist to take some pictures while I was there...

My view when I glance up from the read

The Botanical Garden

Another view

The Path

Facing back to reality, my thesis was way past the due date. I have not even touch chapter 4. I am practically dead. I do not even want to face my supervisor. Sigh... Reality Bites!

Elsewhere

Read this book 'Elsewhere'.

Intrigued by the story.

This girl died in car crash. Thinking her life would come to an end. But instead, she found out that dying just get her into another new beginning.

She was shifted to a place called Elsewhere. It is exactly like earth but instead of getting older ( on earth ), people gets younger. In example, a person who died at the age of 50 will arrive Elsewhere at the same age he/she dies on earth. He/she will get younger instead of getting older until turning to a baby and get reincarnated back to earth.

This book is about hope, redemption and re-birth.

Italy???

Spent most of the time reading.

I happen to read two books which the story narrate around the Italy grounds.

Of course, when the stories are conjured around Italy, naturally along comes romance and food!

The first book was by Anthony Capella, The Food of Love.
As spell out from the title, this book is about food and love. It is definitely a good light reading. The books gives you craving for Italian food. It gives a good description on the scent, spices and the taste that I almost can savor it in the room. Every single detail is perfectly describe especially on the food FOR love. I took the liberty to copied a para or two from the book :

When the chef, Bruno explaning to his friend, Tommaso, on food for loves or lust….

“ Because to make someone horny and to make someone fall in love are two very different things… To make someone horny, certainly is harder but not impossible. Seafood, of course has aphrodisiac qualities. Molluscsm too, snails in oil and garlic. Perhaps some carciofioni - baby artichokes cooked with mint, pulled apart with the fingers and dipped in soft, melted butter. Wine, obviously. And then, to finish , a burst of sugar something light but artificial, so that you feel full of energy and happiness…
If you wanted someone to fall in love with you, you would cook them something very different, something perfectly simple but intense. Something that shows you understand their very soul.. You’d have to really know the person concerned: their history; their background; whether they are raw or defined, dry or oily…”.


Am now currently reading the second book by Penelope Green, When in Rome.
A story by an Australian who gave up her job and went Italy to find herself, where she speak no Italian, no friends and nowhere to live with a fair dash of bravery. Just gotten to page 41…

Holiday Break

Started of my semester break with Eragon by Christopher Palonini.

I picked the book off my shelf and started reading.

I finished it a couple of days ago.

I must say this book is all in all entertaining but highly overrated and it definitely did not stop me grabbing the second book. *WiNk*

Daddy Bday

It's my daddy's birthday today.

I make it a point to stay in Ipoh especially I was not with him last year.

Nope.. I din get him any gift..so it's just a card and my presence.

The card have loads of meaning though.. HEhEhe... saying that I have the best dad in the world and my luck having him as my dad.. is the best gift ever bestowed upon me.

He was busy with work the whole day ( he din even have time to have breakie with me... *SObZ*).

Anyway when he and mummy was back home, we sat and have a good talk and then head out for dinner (Kor and Hooi Ling is in Beijing), so just the three of us. We did have a wonderful dinner. We talked and laugh and talk and laugh.

We din even manage to finish the bottle of wine. Ish.. 3 of us!! ME!!! could not even finish the bottle of wine. Weird eh?

Oh well, the dinner is good.. but would be better if my kor, his wife and Shao Yi to join in. It would be marvellous then. A whole family... but hey.. there is always some other time.

Hugs

Ps. My dad is the BEST dad in the whole wide world.. but then again.. it's very subjective.. He IS but only to me.. and no others.. oh well.... my kor too * SmILZ*

PASS

Ha!!!

I PASS!!!!!!!

The result I have been waiting for!!

Seriously, it is such a relieve.. the feeling is better then getting an 'A' than any other subject.

HahA...

Waiting

I got a 'D' in my Theory paper.

Never had it cross my mind that I will manage to get a 'D'.

Oh well... the worse is that I have another paper marked by the same lecturer and the result is not out yet.

I waited and waited during the weekend. Hoping the marks will be out asap. I don't like the waiting part.

I just wanna know what I got.. a pass or a 'D' or 'F'.

I have been login in and out of the intranet countless times. And there is still no result. I hate the waiting.. It's long and pressured.

Arrgghhh....

Night by Elie Wiesel

My first night after the horrendous week.

I randomly picked up a book to read before I head to bed.
.
It turns out I stayed wide awake after I finish the book

It’s a rather thin book in but rich in content.

It really bothered me and put me deep in thoughts after the read.
I was really disturb by the read but yet the total truth.
It manage to portray the horror of the holocaust itself. A total powerful book that one will engross in. The fear and the line between life and death is profusely overwhelming.

Aidan

I was watching re-runs of Sex & the City.

I seriously do not understand why Carrie do not want Aidan.

He is just the perfect guy. He is practically what everyone called as a good catch.

He is helpful, fun, down to earth.... Carrie's friend love him... so much more... the list goes on and on. He is definitely JUST the EXACT kind of guy for me.

I was watching until the episode he proposed to Carrie and I stop.
I could not brave myself up to face the truth that they eventually broke up.
I could not.

I am still in the imaginary world. I always like happy ending. If the truth is out there in the next few episodes that both of them will eventually break up.. I would refuse to continue the series and let me be in my fantasy world that they WILL end up together.

Guess the truth is that one would not face the truth and in the end, blur themselve up. Build a cocoon around them so they will not face another reality of life or even get hurt again.

The point is... why bother to continue when you can have a perfect ending of your own... the one that you project it to be.

Booze Substitute

I found out that there is another substitute for booze.

Try having 6 consecutive days of less then 5 hours of sleep a day and constantly having your eyes to stay focus on reading and oh yes, frequent hands movement aka writing.

Believe me... it's a good substitute.

As on the early morning on the 7th day period, you will find out that you really need to use both hands to drive the car on a straight road, your eyes feels swollen with an eye bag that could practically stuffed with cotton.
Then suddenly you realize that your response towards your stimulus is slow... or rather , it does not tally to the beat.

You lost interest in everything and all you can think of a good night sleep.

Worst part is when finally you can have a short deep breath and get yourself the sleep, your eye lid refuse to close and your mind refuse to log off.

There... isn't it a substitute.

Damn... I need the SLEEP!

PS. 6 out and 1 more to go.

Frodo - New Style!!

Our beloved Frodo did a major trim.

Taking this opportunity to show the difference since he was 3-4 months old till now.

Baby Frodo!

Adulthood Frodo

And NOW... For the new look.

Crew Style for the Silky Terrier!!

Compound = saman

Lucky or not..

I had my first exam of the semester today... and I refuse to comment anything about it. I am just glad it's done finally.

Oh well, I am short of cash this few weeks. I din need any money as I am always in da house and my ocassional indulge on coffee is on credit card due to the discount upon using the card. I din go to get any cash out either at all since I practically STOP going out.

I head on to eat my breakie after the test with my classmates. I checked and found out I have like 3 dollar notes left in my purse.. I search for some loose coins in the car and just enough for a RM3.50 mee and a RM1.20 drink.

As I was driving home, my mind started to drift away. I am really short on sleep and in desperate of coffee. I took the usual route back home.. while I was turning into Ikano for coffee the traffic was rather slow. I realized that it was a road block. It just slip out of my mind that I need to put on the seatbelt before turning into the road.

This is not the first time... the first time happen during the mid year. I just finish gym and head back home. They let me go with just a warning.

Wat similarity about the two times is that BOTH the time I din have any CASH with me at all.

The police ask for my license as usual. He took it and said my name out loud. He asked if I wanted a compound. My immediate reaction is " Apa tu?" *hEHhe*
Seriously, how am I suppose to know compound is saman.

I straight away start to look for loose cash. Hoping there is some around inside the car. I told him that I do not have any cash at all and only got a couple of dollar... RM4 to be exact, all in one dollar notes.

He took it.

I think me, being a student and always short of cash pays off.

Shirley

I saw my dearest friend, Shirley online in msn yesterday night.

I realized I really miss her…A LOT.

I have not seen her more than.. well, a year or two! I have spent my three spectacular years in Singapore and most of those amazing memories involved her.

She will be back Malaysia this December with Erik too!!! I just can’t wait to spend time with her. We can just talk and talk and talk. There is so much that had happened in between.

Although I have not seen her for quite some time, I just know that once we sit down, all awkwardness and all the uneasiness will be gone. I guess everyone know this feeling. We have so much history together… we know and understand each other so well… it’s like you can just simply blurt out a sentence… she can instantly relate and knows!! It does not even matter how long the gap in between the meet up, it will just go away and we will be just concentrating on catching up.

Shirley is obviously one of the smartest gal I know. Oh… Of coz, she obviously have the looks! She is tough too. I am definitely happy and proud of her coming to be what she is now. We both quit roughly the same time, she then went to Sweden… and oh well, I came back to Malaysia, each pursuing different pathways of our life.

Oh gosh… I just really miss her so much. I always needed her by my side! I realized that I am one of the lucky ones that DO have such a friend that really will be my lifetime friends, no matter how far apart we are. There is nothing that stop our friendship. Just that simple.

HUGZ and KISSES

Hot/cold

Am still recovering from flu.

I really should start to change a few habits of mine. My flu, well, is my bi-monthly friend who comes to visits. I do quite often have their frequent visits.

Frankly,I am quite fed up with them. The sore throat irritation, the phelgm, the sneeze, the fluids, the ache over my back and shoulder, Of coz, not leaving out my constant coughing.

I decided to stop drinking ice cold drinks ( which happen to be my favorite ). I think I should rephrase... I decided to drink LESS ice cold drink ( I can't give up coke, can I?... No.. it would be terrible just to imagine not being able indulge oneself with a icy, fizzy, sugary drink a.k.a COKE ).

I did manage to find other alternatives. I constantly find myself with camomile tea, hot honey lemon and *sMilZ* coffee.
All hot Hot HOt.. and addictive.
Not to mention, it really helps my throat! Less cough too!

Come to think of it... life's like that too.
If something is not compatible with your needs ... there is always alternatives.

You might want it just because you know it's bad or just simply because you know it's not meant for you.

but once it strikes up your mind... there is actually lots of other alternatives that might even suit you much much better. Finally somthing you need and want.

Supposingly REVISION

I attended a supposedly revision class today.

The lecturer of that particular subject is horrifying to begin with.

I will be re-sitting this particular subject this semester and hope that this revision class will give me a rough idea and the formats so I would not be caught ‘BlUr’ during the exam which will be taking place real soon.

I arrived right on time (especially in her class.. ), as usual she is a couple of minutes late. And as usual, those who came late then her will definitely get a good talk from her. So there I was with my junior attending her class, sitting alone at one corner and observed.

I was with her in another subject, both lecture and tutorial. I find quite similarities in her teaching behavior.
She will first start of with the class being like a fish market. And this is this and that is that… wat.. who.. when… why… how. She, of coz, with her tone and all, she managed to keep the class down. She, then will kick off with how bad the class and how shockingly difficult for her to get the students to listen and not talk.

After that in the mid, she will talk about how her ex-students being appreciative of how she act as the outside world is much much more worse. Blah BlahhHh…

Serious, this is exactly what she talk. No difference with the class I attended.Umm.. I guess my mind always drift away when I am in her class. She’s good at it, mind you.

After all those talks and such, I calculated, she took one and half hour about talking how the midterm goes with the students and half hour talking about why there is exams!!

GOSH! I was so pissed.. I actually came to attend another ‘talk’ from her. Oh.. wait! I actually chot down what she says.

The reason of why there is exams is to be able to APPLY and UNDERSTAND.
The reason to test the students is to know the :
• Ability to remember
• Ability to write
• Ability to exercise and comment

What I wanted to know and the reason I attended this class was only answered after all this crap and it JUST took like 5 minutes of the whole lecture.

I survived the 2 hour lecture in one piece but my brain is all drained out!!

White Daisy Passing

This is trully an amazing song.

White Daisy Passing by Rocky Votolato

please slow it down
there's a secret magic past world that you only notice when you're looking back at it
all I wanna do is turn around

I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean
because I couldn't let go when the water hit the setting sun
passing white daisies taking turns / close the door walk into the street
catching raindrops on your tongue
and for a minute it all stops but it won't last man
it's just a passing moment gone

please slow it down
there's a secret place that I know where I could dig a grave out
and climb underground for good
all I want to do is turn around

I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean
because I couldn't let go when the water hit the setting sun
passing white daisies taking turns

all those evenings on the back deck of our first apartment
they meant everything but the wind just carried em off
and you can't go back now just a passing moment gone

Decisions

Life’s fragile to begin with.

Future is indeed unknown but everything we did in the past will affect our future. Choosing the right path to continue our life is a convoluted decision yet necessary.

A single choice you made today might change your whole life, your destiny.

Should we be waiting for ‘the sign’ to make the choice or should we sit and have an intensive self discussion.

Well, I think I’ll opt for the ‘sign’.

Base on my life, it’s always been the ‘sign’ or rather whenever it comes, it will. As said in the Chinese proverb ( ).

Now the problem is, what would the sign be?
IsH Ish..

A single note from no where? A single banner on the street stating “post grad” or a flyer that fly towards my face announcing job availability?

Hmm… whatever it is.. I think I should be concentrating on my exams first. HECK! I have like 7 papers this semester… Extra 3 compared to my other classmates. HECK! How will I be able to make it… my timetable is out.. I have no break whatsoever! 6 consecutive paper in one shot. This is so KILLING me… worse.. I have not even started studying.

*keeping my finger cross*

Blue Whale

Got this from Jasmine aka the 'double' big time RaSCaL!

Have a laugh...

Elliot Smith

Listening to Elliot Smith!

It's rather crazy.... I really am having this craze over his songs.
It keep on running thru my head... the tune, the voice, the guitar, the beat...

Worse... It really make me want to learn to play guitar.

Anyway this is one of the song... keep playing again and again in my head...

Say Yes

I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl

who's still around the morning after

we broke up a month ago and I grew up I didn't know

I'd be around the morning after

it's always been wait and see

a happy day and then you pay

and feel like shit the morning after

but now I feel changed around and instead falling down

I'm standing up the morning after

situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later

and I could be another fool or an exception to the rule

you tell me the morning after

crooked spin can't come to rest

I'm damaged bad at best

she'll decide what she wants

I'll probably be the last to know

no one says until it shows and you see how it is

they want you or they don't

say yes

I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl

who's still around the morning after

Gavin

I can't resist to post this few photos of Gavin!
*KekekE*
It's really fun to see him drunk esp I never see him drinking more than a couple of booze or whisky... HAhA.... He dance and dance... and the more he drinks the more he drinks... even without anyone telling him to!

Believe me...never did I ever see him acting like this. He is always this cool guy who happens to be a good conversationalist and a good singer!!

His virgin flame!

His Shots!

Him dancing

Him acting cool... (drunked)

Oh well... Happy Brithday Gavin!!! It's been great having you as my friend.

Cheering up

Not in a chirpy mood the whole damn week.

Tried to cheer myself up… went for movie.. went for board games… went for booze.. went for etc etc. ( does not really help .... )

I was rather fed up. Just feeling moody… (wondering issit due to PMS)

Heck… I decided to go Borders.

Guess what I got for myself….

"The complete set of Calvin and Hobbes"

Well.. it did cheer me up .. alas...

*HUGS*

Duolos

Wanted to post some photos taken during the Duolos trip.

Five of us in a car joining the Petra Church member to Duolos. It is said to be the oldest sailing ship. This is the second time in Malaysia stopping at Port Klang. It might be the last time for her to sail around the world too.

Anyway the highlight of the day is eating Bak Kut Teh in Klang. *SmILz*

It was definitely a hectic but wonderful Saturday.

My day did not just stop till lunch eh? I went for booze and wine with Bin, Steph and Goon till late.

Ps. Din manage to take any pic of our lunch ... GulP.. too enthused to have Bak Kut Teh.

( 29 July 2006)

Again as usual in Doc. Selva’s class… I always had a hard time concentrating in class. Hey… no talking for two hours is really torturing especially a pretty boring class.

I can’t help but to sketch….


I kinda like it... I had this photo putted on my hp wallpaper.

Making a difference

I was listening to the radio when I was on my way to class today, Mix fm to be exact. The topic in the morning by the two DJs really perk my mind. They were discussing about the environmental issue, regarding how concern are we.

I mean yeah! a lots been said and told but no one makes any effort to correct the matter. Small simple fact such as asking for a plastic bag even for a small item that they bought in any convenient store and throwing rubbish out of their car etc etc.

The reason being even if I did not do it, some others will. Or worse would be, that is what the sweepers are for!

My point is that :
If everyone DO make a little effort it will sum out to be A LOT.
“sikit sikit lama menjadi bukit!” ( CheWaahh… am typing in Malay)

If everyone make an effort and try not to use so many plastic bag and try recycle, don’t you think that the world will be a wonderful place.

As DJ say, “ Of all the creature in this world, we are the only one who have to power to make the world a better place to live in. Why can’t we contribute?”.

What is our purpose in this world?

Ps. Listening to Casting Crowns, Can Anyone Hear Her. This song really RoCKs!

Another weekend

Was in Ipoh last weekend.

Been a goodie girl... ( kinda tiring job! )

Was with my parents day in and out. I guess everyone gets the picture.

Started on Thrusday evening till Sunday. HeHEhe... motive to be back is to accompany my parents.

Hey.. I manage to wash two cars ( mine and my mum's) and as every sunday is cleaning house day. Oh.. din get into an arguement with mum! HAhAh... record breaking.

Hey... the truth is... no matter how many things or hours you can chat with your mum. They will no matter what be some arguements and etc. Sigh..
At least I can note down that I manage not to be in an arguement for the past few days we are together...

Ha..

The Parcel

HA!

Had a perfectly good day… esp compared to yesterday!!

As on previous post, my car was blocked and worst was that I nearly flunk my Ad Comm Theory mid-term test. I never expect that whatsoever. I am drop dead. Ish!

Oh well.. Lemme begin on my good day!

I manage to find a good parking space… Seriously… much much better then yesterday. I can’t even believe it. Second time in a row. It is like hitting jackpot… finding carpark at that road is really hell. Plus, I was right on time.

Ha!

I went to class… refuse to drive out and eat lunch as my car was parked so nicely. HeEhe.. continue class as per normal.

I was heading to gym after class only to realize I have forgotten my iPod. So I have to head back home to take it ( am so use to have my iPod during exercising).

When I open the door, I saw one parcel on top of the drawer. I straight away knew it’s definitely for me. I perked up and GRINNED!

Wat else can I say! I straight away tear it open… I don’t have such patient to nicely open it!! ( ObViouSLy!!)

It was an i-Dog!!!!!!! And some snacks that I loved!!

HaHA….. HAHAHa… my day has come… my i-Dog!! COolZZ!!
Along comes with this cool winter cloths.. not that it is needed in Malaysia. Hey!! I got the same color in the iPod Socks! How crazy can one get!!

HAHAhahAHhaAha…

Say no more… picture time!!

The Parcel... snacks and the i-Dog

My i-Dog!!

Aint he cute??

Now... all I need is a name. Mike??Mikey?? Woofie??

Any suggestions... please.

Ha!

Got this photo from a fren of mine...
He really reminds me of Jac Jac from Incredibles!

Oh well.... imagine him... with the mask ON and with a MoOshY smile!!!

BlaRdy KanCil

Ish!!!

I went to class early. I manage to find a good and LEGAL parking space on my first attempt. I tot it's MY day.

Sigh!!

After class, I went to took my car as my bunch of frens and I will be heading out for lunch ( as usual ). There is this bloody Kancil ( Her car is RED in color ) blocking my way out. I immediately call the no. that was stated at the note on the dashboard. The FuCKing phone was turned off.

I tried a couple of time... but with the same result. Am pissed...
Along came my bunch of tutorial frens... they happen to joke on wanting to shift the car away. I manage to take a picture of them.

Anyway.. they can't move it.. EhHE.. there are like 10 of us. Guess all of us have not eaten any thing yet...so I put a note " Please turn on your phone" at her window shield ( I said 'her' base on her car accessories).

We in the end sat on other car and head out for lunch. Until 2pm, I went back to see the damn car at the exact location.

Penny and Janelle told me to lepak at their house... until 4.

The car was parked there... this time round with a note " sorry, call this no."
I immedieatly call that no. and scolded her to remove her car.
The second time when she remove her car.

Hey! I am not being rude... I waited fr 12.30 till 4pm... I am kinda frustrated. She is being very inconsiderate.
I did not even scratch her car or anything like that.

Interview

Just got back fr a- sort of- interview.

My classmate told me there is an interview at Starbucks, Sunway Pyramid. Not much infor given, only to know the job is $500 and need gals who is above 5feet5.

I thought... oh well.. worth the shot. Just try.. $500!!. I thought it might be some show or sumthing like selling phones or launching things.

I went there late.. only to find a bunch of hot chicks there filling forms. They dress pretty good.. stylish and such... makeup are nicely done... Mind you, the guys there are practically drooling. The ppl who is sitting at Starbucks are all facing directly where the bunch of girls are instead of facing to their friends.

I manage to get the form to fill up. Only to know it's a model thingy. No wonder... all the hot chicks.

The form wanted us to state down our sizes and all, our height, marital status etc etc and experience. I was like , heck, wat experience?? I peep on other gals form. Oh wel.. I must say, most of them done lotsa walks and shows.

I put mine down - NIL.

As I hand in my details, I asked the interviewer on whats all this about. Only to find out that its a catwalk show. ArLlow?? Excuse me?? catwalk? I did not even know how to walk in a straight line. I have never been to any sort of modeling class..wat the hell am I doin there? GOsh! I wanted to leave... but heck... All the way there... might as well just finish it up.

Anyway I manage to get into the interview. This gal, I guess around my age, ask several ques :

Willing to wear skimpy cloths?
Smoke and drinks?
Willing to work at night?
Which day prefer to work?
Mind going to pubs and clubs?

( Wat kinda question is that... Cmon... just check out the question she asked... It like those mamasan asking the girls... get wat I mean)

After all is answered.. I left.
Chances of this job is NADA. I am no model material. If I should know better on what this interview thingy is all about...

Oh well, I wasted my time, carpark (RM6), petrol, my makeup,umm.. watelse... watever..

Anyway since I am in Starbucks.. How am I gonna say NO to coffee. I ordered and left with a cup of steaming hot latte at hand and left straight to my car.. sipping the coffee.
The only thing that I am glad about.

I am so addicted to coffee now....

* WInK*

SMSes

Guess that we’ll never be grown ups in our parents eye… never ever.

My dad… He is totally amazing. The best dad ever.. I can’t imagine how my life can be without him.

Ha!! Anyway… My dad has been sending me sms. Not just any sms… CHINESE sms! Simple conversational sms. Reason being, he wanted me to learn Chinese.

I loose out a lot on not knowing Chinese… Yeah.. I basically know how to speak but really am bad in reading it. I think I am just like Primary three standards. Sigh. I loose out a great deal.. esp on books and comics.

Oh well… my dad been msg-ing me basic chats like. Asking me what I am doing? What I had for lunch? And tell me what he is doing and so forth…
I will reply back in English answering his questions , just so to proof I can still read basic Chinese.

Weird huh!

I just received one on my way back home from gym. My mind began to wander and think… Gosh… At my age and my dad still did all this! I mean… Wat are the odds. I don’t really think a lot of parents did that to their children at my age! Maybe a handful or Z-E-r-O.

Come to think of it… I should be the one teaching my kid Chinese ( if I had one ). My Secondary classmate just gave birth to her second child and here I am receiving chinese sms from my dad.

Will I ever grow up…or should I count myself as lucky?

Ps. Had another sAndWicH Craving... this time a club sandwich! It's superbly done with crispy bacon and loads of melted cheese ... the mayo in it was amazing.. I enjoyed each and every bite of it.. and accompanied with a LaTTe.

CLEaN CleAN

Ha... I do not know wat come over me.

I spend the whole afternoon cleaning up my room... a major cleaning!

I wiped all the surface in my room, including those switches. I vacumm the floor, mop the floor and even clean the air-con filter. In the toilet, I scrub the floor and cleaned up the shower place. I also sanitize the toilet bowl.

I spent quite some time de-dusting my precious snowglobe as well. The best thing is that I ironed my bedsheet and my duvet cover too. I figure out since I spend more than 10 hours a day in bed. I should make it extra comfy. If those who knew me well, I RaReLy iron cloths. The cloths I wear dun really need ironing and I really hate ironing!!

Ha... Aint I a good girl today!

pLUS I manage to satisfy my craving on Turkey Ham with Cheddar on Foccacia Bread.

*sUPerb*

My Spic& Span SnowGlobes!

My CCccleaned Study Desk!!

My Drawers and mini tv

Of COz!! My Ironed bed

HaUnteD

Somtimes when I just happen to let go my past, things just keep on appearing and haunt me.

One thing settled... another comes along.

Can't they leave me in peace. I call it quits and they still keep on contemplating the means and ends of the whole situation. What's been done is done. What's been said is said. Things just can't turn back to it's original settings.. there will be scars and scratches from the past.

I am ready to face my future and they still keeps me away from it. I had enough of the pain and tears from it. I really need a break. I do not want to crash for the second time...

*GOSH* This is so fucking tiresome

F**K it all.

Penguins

Watched "March of the Penguins" last night.

This was a wonderful documentary directed by Luc Jacquet which follows penguins traveling to their breeding ground in Antarctica.

It makes me think. The sacrifices of parents to have a child is too big a deal even to put it into words. Every journey to bring life is just too painful and vexing but worthwhile. It shows a loving ode to the life-altering ( at times life-threatening ) dedication and devotion of parents.It's a miracle.

It goes beyond words. Each scene has it's character, bringing out the whole journey of the penguin that has repeatedly done a hundreds or thousands years ago.

Eat Ate Eaten... Done!

Blast from Past

I just wanna get on with my life... once in awhile it still haunts me.

It haunts and glooms my day.
It haunts my dreams... it haunts my concentration... it haunts my daily interaction with the world.

Can't the past just be my past. Let bygones be bygones.

F**k

My day

I was in Kinokuniya.

I was just browsing through, as I still have loads back home that I can't find time to read and not planning to pile another up in the shelf. I just can't seem to find the time for me to read. Things just keep on popping up... more important than another. Priorities goes to those that have due dates such as my assignments, my midterm, my thesis... etc etc ( which seems never ending process).

I never expected to let this particular book to caught my attention. The title of the book was "The Stolen Child". I was rather caught by the design cover and decided to read the synopsis.

My oh My, it really was interesting. The book tells the tale of the child who become one of the changlings and changeling was return to the society of humans by co-opting the identity of a kidnapped child. It's about the search of identity of the seven year old child who is abducted by a band of a dozen hobgoblins, which, in mythology, are faeries "gone bad".

I fell in love with the story.

I bought that book and went straight to Dome and order a cup of Latte. Hey.. Life is pretty good. A cup of latte, a great book and a fag or two. Wat more can I ask for!


I got more information about the book online once I got home. I found out the author, Keith Donohue find the inspiration from:

The Stolen Child, a poem by William Butler Yeats, published in 1889in The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems.The poem was written in 1886and is considered to be one of Yeats' more notable early poems. The poem is based on Irish legend and concerns faeries beguiling a child to come away with them.

Away with us he's going,
The solemn-eyed -
He'll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into his breast,
Or see the brown mice bob
Round and round the oatmeal chest
For he comes the human child
To the waters and the wild
With a fairy, hand in hand
For this world's more full of weeping than he can understand

I can't wait to finish the book.. but yet.. again.. due to some midterm exam I need to study on. I have to put it on hold... but can't resist to blog it.

Not everyday one gets to find such interesting book!!!

Just my day! My Luck!

Hugs WuGs
