The thing bout telling lies, is that you will always have to keep lying... worse is that you WILL always need to remember abt what you lie.
Truth is simple. The memory of truth always stays in your mind eventhough it may be hidden or tangled up somewhere.
Guess.. I'll just continue lying... Ha! Just hope I remembered the lie I told when ask again in the future.
What's the lie?? Its no biggie...no biggie at all. Hahaa...Though secret it is ..for now but behold! as will let it out... hmm.. probably sometime end of this year. *WiCkedd*
Ish! Should be studying. Mid term is here. Oh well... this will be my LAST mid term exams.
HuRaaYyy!!!!!
Ta for now...
(come to think of it, I like to blog most during the exam time... I wonder why?)

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 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

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!!!
A simple meal.. with full satisfaction and appreciation.
THanKS!! *HUgs* to Grace, Penny and Janelle.

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...

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*

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*
