Yellow

2011-12-08T02:12:00.001+08:00

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah they were all yellow

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do

Cause you were all yellow
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know
For you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry

It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do.

P/S: Yes, I copy-pasted the lyrics from some lyrics website.

Shorties to the front!

2011-11-28T02:18:00.001+08:00

After much procrastination, I finally managed to cut down some napping time to blog about this. Cookies for me? Chipsmore only, please.

Ok for starters how many of you are actually okay with your height? If you're about 155 cm or below (girls), yes I'm sorry you're a midget. To those who are 156 cm or taller, your argument is hereby declared forever invalid.

Trust me, I've heard people complain that they're "too tall" and learned never to believe that they're not okay with their height. They're not even "too tall" to begin with. 170 cm for girls is awesome! Stop whining about not being able to find a boyfriend or how you're not able to sit on your boyfriend's lap and whatnnot.

Yes, when people complain about being "too tall", brush them off, or better, show them the middle finger. Do the same to those who claim that their boobs are "too big" (you know who you are) :P

I think the only drawback of being too tall is not being able to wear those incredibly high, high heels or having to bend down a little when entering a tight space, which doesn't happen frequently anyway but I guess that's pretty much it? Being short, on the other hand, can be quite troublesome at times.

Remember those days in school where they have this some sort of conspiracy going on that involves short people being forced to sit front of the class? Or when everyone's gathered to take a class photo and some idiot would suddenly announce, "All the shorties to the front, to the front!" ? or "Yang pendek faham-faham sajalah."

Faham you punya otak lah! Kalau duduk depan ah, muka nampak besar tau. Then yang kat belakang semua posing macam model. Dahlah kalau kat depan kena duduk atas kerusi, habis nampak paha yang tak flattering langsung sebab tiap-tiap hari Ahad makan KFC kat Tesco.

Also, the length of my legs, which is not much, has severely restricted my movement in several ways. I realized this when I was walking back from dinner with my room mate last night. We stumbled upon ten to twenty water-filled potholes because it was still drizzling after a heavy rain.

All there was in my mind was, "asadsfadfsdfadsdadsf" while I tried to walk over the puddles and failed terribly. My room mate, on the other hand, casually lifted one leg after the other across the puddle before she continued her journey in peace. She didn't even realize the pained look on my face.

Roommate.

Me.

Then we have the goddamned height requirements for certain rides in the theme park. Last break, I went to Genting with some friends and realized that to be able to get on a ride (I forgot which), you have to be at least 153 cm! I am *somewhere* that height and was absolutely mortified that I could have had missed out on that ride just because I have "kiddy height". Unspeakable horror.

Reaching up for things. Need I say more? I don't know if I've been really good in hiding the fact that I'm short or that my room mate is somewhat blind. We've been room buddies for two years now but it's only recently that she realized how I need to tip-toe whenever I need to grab something from the hanger by the door, say the towel or a t-shirt.

So she saw what I was doing and went, "Uhm, what are you trying to do?"

and I was like, "Trying to get the face towel."

Her reply, "LOLOLOLOL!"

Roomie, t(-.-t)

I don't know when or why but it seems like there's an unwritten rule that short people should stick to short-people sports. So let's say you're my height, *somewhere* around 153cm, and you're interested in playing the basketball for real, don't ever declare it! Unless you have the skills and been playing the sports seriously.

People will think of you as a joke, but yes, it's quite funny if you think about. Can you imagine teaming up with those really tall people? And when you practice all you really do is getting smacked in the face cos' they mistaken you for the ball and kissing your teammate's armpits every now and then?

Perhaps it's actually a good thing that short people should just play short-people sports, say, bowling, swimming or futsal? Any sports that allow you to be as close to the ground as possible.

But in all honesty, it isn't too bad to be a little short. Except when you're attending a concert and all you could see is some dude's sweaty back and hairy armpits. And when you can't find a suitable pair of jeans because you have a 20-year-old's waist and a 15-year-old's height.

Still, it isn't too bad (I think). I've yet to find a good reason to be genuinely happy about my height, but oh well.

P/S: Finally I've updated! See you in a couple of months!

Welcome to Taiping!

2011-08-21T18:03:00.014+08:00

So many of my friends (course mates) have asked me, "Actually, what is Taiping? Is it a kampung?"

As long as you guys don't try to find out what Taiping actually is (it's a town by the way) you will keep wondering and posing the same question to me. So today I'll be nice and let you guys know.

Disclaimer: Photos credit to respective owners. I do not own any of the photos.

This is the sign that you'll see once you reach Taiping. Obviously.

One of the streets in Taiping. I googled.
Chung was born in Taiping before he went to reside in Penang.
He was a wealthy tin miner and rubber planter.
Never mind the details, lol.

One of Taiping's famous cendol shops. Another one is Bismillah.
Ansari is just opposite my mom's office, lol.

One of the old buildings in old town.
My mom used to buy rojak from one of the stalls here.

Aerial view from the peak of Maxwell Hill.

One of the "bungalows" to rent in Maxwell Hill.

Burmese Pool.
One of the popular natural pools in Taiping. The other one is Austin Pool.
I think I've been here quite a number of times.
Once I almost drowned :/

Flemington Hotel
Our humble 2 and a half stars hotel, lol.
Even till now, my friends and I like to go up the sky bar.
Because there's a great view of Lake Garden's from above.

This is old town.
Ex-schoolmates and I used to roam around town doing nothing,
maybe got ice-cream at the old mcdonald's before the outlet was relocated to Sentral.

Yes, my childhood was that simple.

Taiping Lake Garden's.
Nothing to say much about it.
Great place for jogging though.

Perak Museum.
It's the first museum in Malaysia.
So you're saying, "So what wor if it's the first?"

Well, just saying ma.

The famous elephant skull in le museum.
I read somewhere this elephant derailed an oncoming train at full speed.
Something like that :/

Sepetang.
Yes, this is a village.
But it is a beautiful village.

Zoo Taiping
The first zoo in Malaysia.
The first night safari in Malaysia.

All Saints Church.
First church in Malaysia.
(Was involved with arson attack )

Taiping Prison.
First prison in Malaysia.
I hate this road because it reminds me of my driving test,
which I failed the first time -_-

My alma mater!
SMK Convent Taiping.
Sorry I couldn't find a less creepy photo, lol.

Siang-Malam
Lots of good food here.
I usually come here to eat kaya toast :/

Taiping Sentral.
I would call it "just some place I go to when I feel like watching a movie".

That's pretty much the popular sites/landmarks in Taiping. By the way, we didn't have a proper shopping mall until 2008, which was during my SPM year. What we had though, was Tesco and Giant while Econsave came much later. Some of you are pretty surprised that we managed to survive without a "proper" hang out place, but yeah I would tell you this, we didn't feel anything. School kept us busy. And McDonald's Sundae Cone was enough as a treat after a stressful day.

There's a huge chance that even after you read this, you would still insist that Taiping is boring and that you would somehow die if you were ever born in this place.

I love Taiping and how I wish you could see the beauty of it through my eyes. But never mind la.

Some People are Just So....

2011-08-03T22:34:00.003+08:00

Okay people, listen up, because this is important.

So here's what happened today. There was this carnival held by the Asian Cultural Society at the Heritage Hall so a couple of friends and I went over to cover the event. We needed a few interviewees for the report and walked over to a group of girls who were browsing through some stuff at one of the booths. What I did was kindly introduced myself, told her what I was doing and politely asked if I could interview her.

She gave me this weird look on her face before she shook her head vigorously. I said, "Huh?" (When I really wanted to say WTF) and faked a smile like it was something funny. I thought I should give her a chance to really register what was going on. Perhaps she was an extremely shy person. Who knows? Then she slapped her friend's arm and gestured to me.The friend did not even have the courtesy to turn around and face me. Instead, she brushed her friend off and pretended I was an imaginary entity.

I waited for a little while longer before the girl smiled (happily) and said, "Never mind." Okay, so I was like, "Never mind what?" No, seriously, what the hell were you saying? Never mind the interview or never mind your friend's rudeness? Oh, sorry, or should I say, extreme introvert personality?!

To be honest, I'm a little baffled about that whole situation. It is absolutely fine if you are not willing to have your opinions published for the public to read. I understand that you have this whole privacy thing going on and that maybe you don't want people to recognize your photo in the assignment report that no one is going to read besides the tutor.

Gee, seriously, it was a freaking public event. We just wanted to ask if you enjoyed the event or not and which booth you liked most. What, you think if you say that you like the contact lens booth the best, the make-up booth team are going to chase after and stab you with an eye-liner pen?

I don't care if you don't want to be interviewed. It's your rights to decline; whatever makes you happy. The thing is, we are interviewing you with a purpose and ON campus. When we say the news ain't gonna reach the public, we fucking mean it. Besides, do you think we'll write anything that can be life-threatening? People, please, read everything I write and absorb every freakin' word.

We are not even real reporters yet. What are you so afraid of? Sometimes we may desperately need your co-operation and we don't want negative responses like, "OMG no photos please ~~I DON'T WANT TO RISE TO STARDOM WITH THAT ONE SIDEBAR ARTICLE~~ I'm shy."

This is not the first time that we've encountered people like this. If you want to decline, please do it properly. I don't want to stand there for 55 seconds waiting for you to have a giggle fest with your friends only to be told that you're not gonna be accepting any interview from us -_-

------

Effective ways you could apply to tackle unwarranted interviews.

1) Lie to potential interviewer's face. Apologize and say that you're late and rushing for a class. Proceed to a hidden corner. You may now continue eating that piece of waffle while you wait for that interviewer to disappear. If you do this, you'll save the interviewer's time and yours!

2) Say "Sorry, I am shy." I'm serious. For God's sake if you're shy, just say so. We'll then know how to target other potential interviewees.

The antonym to "Sorry, I am shy." is "Sorry I don't want". <<< Do not. I repeat. Do not ever say this to our faces. Note that our survival does not depend on your life opinions.

Besides, "Sorry I don't want." ...What? WAFFLES? Try to piss me off with these four words if I happen to want to interview you. Trust me, you will succeed. It's also very rude to brush us off and say that you "don't want" to be interviewed. We are just trying to do our job :(

3. Avoid potential interviewers. People who hold a notebook and pen readily in their hands with a camera person right next to them? Run away. Run far, far, away. Save everyone the misery. You don't get to be involved in some mysterious interview and we save ourselves from the embarrassment of being rejected. Seriously, we don't like it :(

Ok I'm kidding about the third one. Please don't avoid us. :S

------

Yes, names and photos are important because they are evidences for a news report. Like, duh. Think about it. Would you enjoy readings stuff that sound more like a Lima Sekawan novel than an actual news?!

"Two people who declined to be named, students of one of the courses offered in a University that was named after one of the nation's Prime Minister, commented that they liked the shop that sells something that smells nice in small colourful bottles. When asked for their opinions regarding the event, they both declined to comment further and proceeded to escape through the back door of the hall."

Sometimes, I get so frustrated with my Journalism assignments because of these un-cooperative people. First they are all hoo-ha about answering stuff and then when you ask for their details, they fucking freak out. Even after we assure them that no aliens are going to read the stuff and come to earth to fucking abduct them from their bedrooms, they are still unwilling to co-operate.

Hello, if you ever want to chicken out at the very last minute, DON'T, because then you fuck things up for us on this side. Next time if you're approached by a real reporter, make up your mind before accepting an interview, because once you agree, everything you say will be ON THE RECORD. So if you say some really shitty stuff about other people, just bear in mind you won't be able to take your words back. Then you'll be sorry and nobody's gonna give a fuck >:(

P/S: Look at my new label! :D

Jjang!

2011-07-13T01:49:00.006+08:00

So my SNSD albums finally arrived!

They were delivered to my house in Taiping on Friday but I'm in Kampar so I thought I had to wait for like, two weeks before I go home for the weekends and actually get the stuff. Then Calyn 's sister's friend's parents were visiting her on (last) Sunday in Kampar so I decided to tumpang my stuff in their car. Finally received the precious items on Sunday!

Thanks to the friend's mom and dad!

Oh!

I got the group photo card!
Which is really cool since I was hoping to get Tae Yeon's card but got everyone instead :D

My All About Girls' Generation Paradise in Phuket album!
It's SUPER HUGE, so fucking worth it lor T^T

Anyway, I kinda promised mom that I won't ask for anymore SNSD albums until I show her good results at the end of this trimester.

Well, good luck to me!

P.S: Isn't it sick that I sound so optimistic this time around? Yes, a little bit, I suppose :/

But...

2011-07-07T01:01:00.000+08:00

LMAO at the title. No idea la fuck :/

So the other day I was quite upset because I did badly for my JR assignment. Apparently, my caption story wasn't that interesting. Whatever la, since it was a last minute work anyway. BUT STILL UPSET WTF

But on the other hand I did ok for my first politics assignment. I guess after that stroke of bad luck comes a good one. I don't know la. Just hope this isn't one of those "temporary happiness" shit that happens to people. By the way, this is directed to UTAR Kampar students, did you guys try the lok2 stall next to Tian Sin Yuan? I am addicted to the lok2 there, even eating it as my dinner. Mom doesn't know.

Anyways, if you don't know what's lok-lok, it's basically a mini steamboat built into a truck that's parked by the roadside. Sometimes it's just a stall but the one I frequent is part of a truck or lorry, not sure what's it called. So if you haven't tried it out yet, you're missing a lot, so please do visit the lok2 stall. The uncle seller is quite friendly, too.

You know the awkward moment when you have lots of things to do but you don't start shit about it and instead blog to complain about it?

I'm having one of those moments. :/

Haven't started with Comparative Politics and the deadline's this Friday WHY SO OSUM?

And the best part (yes it's the best!), CP midterm next weeeeek!

Oh godddd the only thing that's pulling me through....

THIS!

AND THIS!
(fuck i know i'm a little too late)

Expected to arrive two weeks later. A LONG TIME TO GO SIGHS

LOL made a new label: SNSD

To Be Honest.

2011-06-08T23:58:00.012+08:00

Hyes.

Look, I'm writing with proper caps again! This is due to me being extremely depressed. You'll know why.

To be honest, yes, I'm being fucking blatant here; I hate politics.

And yes, I resent it so much, I'm taking Political Science as my minor. All right let's say it together, 'What the fu-". What's worst is, if I am ever given a second chance to pick between Political Science and Advertising, I will still stick to my initial decision, politics.

Yup, here we go again. "What the fuuuu-"

Let's think of it this way. I'm trying (still trying) to convince myself to look at the larger picture. As a future journalist, politics is like the basic knowledge I should well-equip myself with. Imagine. Just imagine this petite girl with dishevelled hair, looking like she has not slept for three days straight because of K-Dramas, chasing after an important-looking politician (pun totally intended) and catching up, shoves the mic at the politician's face and stutters,

"W-What.... kind of shampoo do you....use?"

...And three years later I'm still jobless.

Horrific future predictions aside, all I'm saying is I agree to disagree. Okay honestly I don't know how did that come out... I just wanted to sound smart o____o ...Anyways, before I made up my mind to take Political Science as my minor subject, a couple of friends and I went to consult a few lecturers/tutors. Actually, I was more inclined to choose the subject that would not bore me to death, we know which one is it, until a Journalism teacher of mine reminded us the importance of having basics political knowledge, again, as a future journalist.

That day, I went home and had a battle with my inner rebellion. My heart was saying, "You know nuts about politics! You couldn't even differentiate between PKR and PR!" while my head was saying, "You know you'd love Advertising but it's a huge risk to take since the subject is too assignment-based!" First, let's pretend you did not read about that PR-PKR thing. Second, I am still trying to put out the what if fire in me. I am so jealous of my other course mates who found the courage to go for what they like to do best while I'm here still whining and complaining over a choice I made.

I make myself look like an idiot in class, occasionally asking the obvious or sometimes, when I feel like it, randomly murmuring "oooohs" and "aaaaaahs" like I actually know what's going on. I know, I know, the decision has been made. This is like, the point of no freakin' return. Instead of bitching about how stupid I can be sometimes, I should look forward and like what people say, move the fuck on, right? I tried to stay interested with this whole NATO-WHO-related thing when all I wanted to do was draw a fucking fruit using photoshop. So yeps this whole trying-to-see-the-positive-side-of-things is not working very well. By the way, is it me or is Libya very close to sounding like something.... *$#@$%^$

See? This is what my bored brain cooks up in class. I'm hopeless.

Last trimester, I was so sure I would take Advertising. Who knew I would change my mind at the last minute? But, despite saying this much shit about political science, I'm not backing out. Education doesn't come free so I will try my best to make the most out of it. They say God decides 50% of your fate while it's up to you to decide the other half with your life choices.

I've learned my lesson though;

Never ever publicize something on Facebook that might come back to haunt you one day.

Written by yours truly a year back.

FML.

Movie Review: Fast & Furious 5

2011-05-19T13:05:00.001+08:00

WARNING: spoiler ahead!

this week alone, i've watched Priest, Thor and Fast & Furious 5. all three weren't that great but i especially enjoyed Priest for some reasons *coughsPaulBettanycoughs*. but i'm only going to be talking about Fast 5 because it's the only movie of which i've really absorbed the content. watching Priest i couldn't take my eyes of Paul Bettany and throughout Thor, i was too busy figuring out whether the girl was really Natalie Portman or not to actually concentrate on the movie.

so yeps, back to Fast & Furious.

to be honest, i never liked shows that focus on cars and sweaty men. some movies generate "male narcissism" sentiments and Fast and Furious definitely falls in that area. fortunately, the stereotypical aspect of the movie is balanced out by the portrayal of actual intelligent female characters in this very "masculine" movie. one would know that women do not only serve as "trophies" for car racing or some random chick the male characters pick up just because they can.

take Mia Toretto (played by Jordana Brewster) for example; she's beautiful and smart. she can bust a cap, run on dilapidated roofs, overlook routes on some high tech computer monitor all the while being pregnant. she's probably the reason why i kept watching, besides the fact that the male leads are stunningly gorgeous.

while i was squirming in my seat trying to suppress a fan-girl squeal every time Vin Diesel appears on-screen, i asked myself;

"what could possibly be better than a dangerously hot, bald guy?"

"see? me takes no effort to look absolutely good-looking."

and then the answer came up.

"this is Brazil, baybeh!"

TWO hot bald guys.

well, yeah, i get it, he's old and eww the beard? but come on, most of us knew him through WWE and back then, The Rock was like the most popular rookie wrestler (the people's elbow, anyone? :D) because he's good looking. and up till now, he's still the most good-looking one from WWE to me so the impression's stuck. whether he's old or not.

Dom and Luke (played by Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock) were enemies at the beginning; a wanted criminal VS a police officer. so there was a lot of shooting going around; a lot of punching and kicking, basically violent scenes. what disappointed me most was that the storyline was pretty much predictable. you see, somewhere in the movie, Luke's team mates were shot down and there he was watching his friends' dead bodies and staring death in the face as Reyes' lackeys approach and then, oh look what happens, Dom and co. saved his ass.

Dom extended his arm over while Luke stared at him in complete horror. then comes the dramatic background music as Dom took Luke's hand and pulled him right back up. quoted from @nigahiga and reminded by @calyn, i smell b-r-o-m-a-n-c-e.

think about it, what could be more adorable than a friendship between an ex-babysitter and an ex-tooth fairy?

"thou shall not speak of this moment. ever. again."

"ok, calm down. this will be easy. just do exactly what you did to stop the time-bomb in Iraq."

i've yet to watch the rest of the Fast & Furious chronicles but i think it's probably the first time they cast so many female leads? since Mia is Dom's sister, she must have made an appearance somewhere in the earlier parts but probably not so much compared this time? besides, they also threw in Elsa Pataky, who played Elena and Natalie Gal who played... Brazilian.

(wtf, i didn't know most of their names so i Wiki-ed and apparently Natalie Gal's character is named "Brazilian" is that like her name in the movie or the Wiki people have no idea too so they just randomly called her a country?).

meet Brazilian.

aha, you men you think you so smart with making the money, safekeeping the money in the vault and POOF! comes a woman in a sexy bikini and you can't help but grab her ass only to find out later that your finger print's all over her thongs which she uses to break into your freaking vault? gentlemen, that is saying something.

also, unfortunately, it was not until the credits started rolling that i realized Ludacris is in the movie, too. i had absolutely no idea that the team geek can rap in real life. actually, i couldn't have recognized Ludacris anyway but i do hear of him from time to time over the radio and on the internet. heck, i sometimes have trouble differentiating Kanye West and P. Diddy. all of them rappers, with the exception of Eminem, look the same!

until the end of movie, the story was blatantly predictable. the guys got the job done, the cash and of course, the women. however, they caught me off guard with Vince. i thought he came back to betray Dom again but in the end he just died, which is too bad, because Dom VS Vince -that's definitely something i'd look forward to. but nope, he just died after requesting Dom to look after his baby boy, Nico (who looks absolutely nothing like the father, honestly!).

and just when i thought, "all right, goodnight bye bye", the movie decides to take a u-turn down the random road. at the end, we see Brian (sorry i didn't mention him. he's sexy but too bad, NOT bald) and Mia strolling hand-to-hand on the beach looking all so happily-ever-after and then out of the blue, Dom came up to the porch with Elena.

now where did that come from? what happened to being true to their dead/missing significant other? this reminds me of the part where Dom and Elena had this brief heart-to-heart talk about how much they missed their loved ones; the part when Dom's about to leave and Elena said something touching (i can't remember what) to which Dom replied;

"ain't got nothing on me and me cool shades."

"i thought nobody understood what i feel. but you do."

it's supposed to be a goddamned heartfelt moment but i felt nothing; where the hell's the dramatic face and the right pause? he just stood there with this frozen look on his face that says, 'yeah i'm reading this off the scripts who cares people just like to watch me drift in my cool car'. Vin Diesel was excellent in Pacifier which proves his acting versatility but the Dom-Elena moment just wasn't there. i didn't feel it. it was like a coconut-flavored popsicle. and i don't know what i'm saying.

effects-wise, i would give the movie a 4 out of 5. nothing beats reckless driving and cars flipping over like pancakes before being crushed to junk metal. story-wise; 2 out of 5 for a pretty much predictable flow throughout, except the very ending when we found out that Dom randomly hooked up with Elena and they randomly visited Brian and Mia on a very random day.

baffling, really.

on a whole, i think Fast and Furious 5 deserves a 3.5 out of 5 which is more than what i would give Thor and Priest. if you want a quick, straightforward movie, go for Priest. if your personal preference is more inclined to actually savour what's said in the dialogues, go for Thor because it has the right amount of humour and storyline to it.

if you're a girl, don't worry about which to watch; each movie has a hottie lead. the only problem is which to watch first.

People Who Annoy the Hell Out of Me

2011-04-20T22:13:00.007+08:00

a rant on annoying people.

oh come on! this is obviously a nonsensical post. if you can't stand bullshit (or me) go somewhere else for some straight up politically correct stuff!

boooo.

oh hey. you're still here. congrats. you're one step up my "Nice" list. =D

you may have already noticed by now, if you're been following my blog, that i LOVE to make lists. like "why i would make a lousy wife", "the bus stop theory." what? never heard of those posts? well fuck you. teehee, not really. wouldn't wanna fuck around with people who don't read my stuff =D

anyways. ahoy, let's get back to the topic, yeah shall we?

Top 3 Types of People Who Annoy the Hell Out of Me

wait, before i start with the post, please don't take any of my bullshit to heart. yes, i do mean some (most) of what i write but still, no point being offended by things that are not directed to you unless you're really that sofuckingannoying, yeah?

1) the Human Squirrels

i see myself as an aspiring feminist so it disheartens me when i have to speak foully of the people of my own gender. a minority of girls, who happened to be in the same classes as me this trimester, has a very unique way of talking. kind of like Alvin & the Chipmunks but minus the adorable..... NO, i don't mean to offend anyone by saying that people with this type of speaking voice need to get their voice box checked... i'm just saying they annoy the bejeezus out of me!

so, there i was minding my own business in class, day dreaming about an imaginary korean boyfriend when this girl behind me started talking to her friend. in chinese. "you knowhehehehheee...kekkekee...iyouweshehetheykikikikikikikiki..." sorta like speaking between squeaks. lol. it was interesting, really. to see the way the girl talked. it's like she didn't need to breathe. it's like if she opens her mouth to sing, she'll sound like a ... a... i don't know... a mosquito?! the most amazing thing was that her friend actually understood what she was saying... or she was just faking the nod. whatever it was, i was so tempted to turn around and yell to her face, "SPEAK HUMAN"... come on, don't give me all that my-voice-is-naturally-cute-like-this... BULL... look, i do know a handful of people who have naturally squeaky voice but girl, you totally made that voice up!

you seriously think that by speaking rodent your cuteness level will increase up one notch? YOU'RE WRONG... i don't know about you males' preferences... but as a fellow gender mate, my advise to you, mozzie girl: LOSE THAT SQUEAK or LOSE YOUR FACE (chinese direct translation).... definitely a no-brainer.

2) people who can't seem to mind their own business

four words: PAIN IN THE ASS... the reason i thought about this type of ohsofuckingannoying earthlings is because i'm currently living with a person of such.... NO, before your mind wander off to my roommate, lol, it's not her xP... it's my housemate... the guy living next door. he's actually a really nice guy. the sort of guy who won't talk to you unless necessary but still plasters this big fake smile on his face when he happens to bump into you at the living room... that kinda of nice, sweet guy... although not so handsome and swaying a little bit to the unhygienic side... STILL nice, sweet, friendly, and considerate. but WHY. WHY does he has to be such an auntie?! when my friends come over, and we gather in the living room to do our stuff... and he walks past us to get to his room, he'll STARE... AND STARE... AND STARE... at what we're doing...until he enters his room.

asdfasdfasdf, DUDE, keep your eyes to yourself! i don't know if this ever happens to you. but i have a problem with people looking at me like they're expecting something to come out of my ear the next second. hello, if you're going to stare at whatever we're doing, do it discreetly, don't just walk in slow-mo and expect us NOT to notice that you're fucking staring. grrrrr.

lol, and yesterday, Calyn and i almost fucked up our lunch by nearly burning the cabbages because we forgot to add water. HE (not you, God) walked out of his room at the exact moment when we were trying to save what's left of the soggy veggie to get water at the sink. all THREE of us huddled by the sink, us- rescue mode, him- filling up bottle... and guess what he did? HE TRIED TO PEEK... seriously what the hell man... didn't we look pathetic enough trying to savour what's left of one part of our lunch that you HAD TO SEE so badly? seriously. like, what do you have to gain from witnessing our humility...? write the incident down in your blog??.....oh shyte.

3) people who try too hard to be funny.

please. don't do it. if you can't execute a good joke in front of an audience, by all means, DON'T. during my Foundation year in University, i personally experienced being in the same class with people who can't keep their mouths shut. i, for one, won't mind it all if what slips off their tongues are somewhat intellectual and comprehensible to the human brain... not something completely RETARDED.

lecturer: hey, how did the pen end up on the floor?

some smart-alec: teacher, teacher...got ghosts ah, teacher....WHOA VERY SCARY I SO SCARE...HA-HA-HA-HA-HA.

..........AWKWARD SILENT.

that was an example of a PHAIL.....it's actually saying so much about your attitude. what kind of impression are you giving to people? that you don't think before you speak? that you don't have any sense of respect for the people around you? if you have ever spewed out such PHAIL & LAME-ASS "joke", please reflect upon yourself this instant... think of the times when you thought you said something HILARIOUS...but nobody laughed... SERIOUSLY, THINK ABOUT IT... and then feel really ashamed... teeheeteee. i would be lying if i say this has never happened to me before, so lol, yeah, i guess it happens to everybody at one point of our lives? but i think somehow most of us would outgrow this fuckery. so if you're like 36 and still making stupid awkward jokes, you need some serious bitchslapping.

i wanted to make it a TOP 5 but am too lazy to continue..... okthxbai!

Life's Ladder

2011-04-14T18:51:00.000+08:00

i am happy.

you talk, i talk.
you laugh, i laugh.
but when the talk stops
when the laugh stops
i look into the mirror
and see me

i am not happy, after all.
because the things people say
they bring you down
like on a ladder,
i take one step lower
because you say so.

life is about,
taking the steps up
or down
but people forget
that there's one more option

...jump off.

Tickets to "Disneyland"

2011-04-05T04:04:00.001+08:00

i think it's not so nice when i've been on hiatus from blogging for quite some time and when i'm back, i talk about depression and suicide again. you see, i have this thing on my mind that has been bugging me for like, i don't know, two weeks? but it surprises me that i didn't shed a single tear for it. maybe it's because i've reached the 20 year old mark. more matured.... maybe?

since i was little, my mom has taught me to stand up again if i fall, but i never take her words seriously. i have zero confidence level and i cannot do anything right. it also doesn't help when my whole world revolves around self-fulfilling prophecy. but there's always a reason i give up on something. when i was like 7 or 8, my mom encouraged me to join an essay competition where if you win, you get free tickets to Disneyland. i put so much effort in that fucking essay but what are the chances of me actually winning the competition, right? but i was such a hopeful kid that in the end when no news came back from Disneyland, i was heartbroken ): thereafter i don't believe in joining contests because i don't believe that i can actually win something, save the time i won a food container in a coloring contest. i think everyone hated me for winning it because i was showing off. and the stupid lid wouldn't even close. ok it wasn't a very nice memory.

i was listening to Pink's Fucking Perfect because it's currently the only song that could make me feel better about myself. i find her words so true; "mistreated" "misplaced" "misunderstood". and when she sings, "mistaken" "always second guessing" "underestimated", something in me died a little. i wish i could turn back time and do it right. but it's too late. it's always too late.

if i can go back, i'll write a better essay. then maybe, just maybe, the Disneyland tickets would have been mine.

TVXQ!

2011-03-20T12:00:00.008+08:00

remember in the previous post i mentioned about my TVXQ albums? well, here they are, all six lol yes, a pathetic collection built out of obsession and biscuit-tin savings.

i actually missed out on a LOT of other albums

i don't remember how much these albums cost me but i never once regretted buying. you know the new-cd smell that you can't seem to get out of your system even after a few years forward? priceless. and to you who have absolutely no idea who TVXQ are, they are LEGENDS of Kpop, i swear.

ten years down the road and i might be able to sell these babies for a fortune. or i could just keep them to pass down to my grandchildren and tell them stories of how grandma used to go crazy over a bunch of pale-looking guys dressed like hippies....... don't sue me. anyway, i've stopped collecting TVXQ albums since form 5 cos' i can't keep on purchasing albums unless i sacrifice food and water and the air i breathe, ok that's too dramatic but pretty much the same effects; can't breathe without money in the pocket, yo.

and i was just kidding about the obsession thing, HAHA..... righttt.

At Last!

2011-03-15T22:54:00.007+08:00

course mates surprised me with the most awesome belated birthday gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for those of you who have been following my blog (tumblr, included), i guess it comes as no surprise that my favourite K-group is Girls Generation... and now i finally got my first G.G album!!!!!!!!!!!

SNSD's first Japanese album :D

when my coursemates presented it to me, i thought it was a TVXQ album cos' for some reasons SNSD albums are hard to come by in Malaysia but i was fine with another TVXQ album to complete my *ahem* meager collection. back at my hostel i was so excited to unwrap it and when i finally did, it was an SNSD ALBUM!!!!! it felt like Christmas all over again...not that i celebrate Christmas but you get what i mean.

haha, you guys are so mighty awesome i was so stunned holding that gem in my hands i thought about tearing up but yeah just a thought T.T thanks guys, thanks for taking away my don't-have-any-SNSD-album (?) virginity. special thanks to my beloved most thoughtful roommate, Cal for initiating the surprise and also to May who personally went out to purchase the cd (:

this SNSD album... plus the stuff toy that Gangster Cally gave me... this was the best birthday ever!!!!!! (:

The Bus Stop Theory

2011-03-13T13:50:00.012+08:00

when i'm bored.

The Bus Stop Theory

(only applies in Kampar)

the first thing you should notice is the distance between the bus stop and where the bus stops. due to my lousy depiction, it would seem like the whole scenario is exaggerated (yes i know the heads are too HUGE to be real). even though, sometimes, the bus driver tries to be funny and stops the bus before the bus stand. but it's also because students tend to go crazy and start to crowd around the center of the bus stop when they see the bus coming. this leaves the bus driver with no choice but to park at the far end of the stop to avoid knocking people over.

morning buses fill up quickly, so either you get your ass in the bus or you don't and be late for class. the worst thing is to miss the last bus which arrives at 7.45 cos' the next bus would only come at 8.10. by 7.35, you can see the latecomers dragging their feet to the bus stop with that kinda look that tells you how late they've stayed up last night watching K-dramas. if you are someone who depends on the bus to get you to campus, like me, these are the types of people that you should have taken notice by now;

the first type of passengers you often encounter will be the Pushers.

Pushers: people who don't give a fuck who's in front of them. their main goal is to push themselves to the front and ultimately, the entrance of the bus. Pushers are extremely dangerous passengers. they can inflict severe compression of the human body- The Sardine Theory- and subsequently, internal injuries to other passengers. Pushers need to get on the bus within 20 seconds of shoving or they will lose patience and go batshit. when that happens, lives would be lost... ok not. in a nutshell, Pushers should be avoided at all times and costs.

The Lost Ones: submissive type of passengers who lack a sense of direction and concentration. it doesn't matter where they stand; inches away from the bus entrance or somewhere at the back of the crowd. The Lost Ones just stay put and let themselves be shoved around by the wave of other passengers. fortunately, The Lost Ones usually have Pullers as friends.

Pullers: extremely rare and are what Pushers evolve from. Pullers are saints who help people get back on track. when the crowd becomes overwhelming, Pullers help to pull you back to the right direction: the entrance to the bus, and in the process, sacrifice their own chance of boarding the bus. Pullers tend to be sympathetic towards The Lost Ones. again, Pullers are known to be going extinct and their species are gradually being replaced by Pushers.

Wise-Asses: the generally smart ones who come up with ingenious ways to gain entry into the bus instead of indulging in barbaric acts like the Pushers. Wise-Asses are quick-witted and some may say, cunning. they know when to stop and let the Pushers do the clearing-out job and when to strike when a tiny space gives way. regardless of it all, Wise Asses are people who usually, if not always, score a place in the bus.

The Screamer: the one who does nothing but stand there and scream for dear life.

The Stoner: person who lost control of body movement for mysterious reasons. bored expression on face, lack the enthusiasm to fight for a place on the bus. closely related to The Lost Ones. could be relatives.

The Cowards: people who have evolved from the Stoner. they are those who realize the stupidity and the uncivilized nature of going at each other for a place in a bus that takes you to the class in which you sleep through every morning. prefers to take the later bus. Cowards are secret geniuses and future politicians.

lol i'm not afraid to admit that i'm a Wise-Ass and sometimes, a Pusher in certain circumstances. i absolutely hate Screamers. and Stoners should go get their own car or something cos' their presence is just unnecessary :/

what type of passenger are YOU?

i'm not even going to lie, this is the WORST semester EVER! let's just put it this way; i probably have like 2 free nights out of a week. and i haven't been home for over a month now. i can't even find time to blog or do things that i like. you know what. i'm just glad i have time to sleep and eat. as i'm typing this, i'm still feeling a little mindfucked after a four-hour-and-a-half replacement class that ended almost an hour ago. i haven't even done my laundry and i'm supposed to be revising for Monday's midterm. my timetable for this sem is supposed to be till Thursday only but because of CNY, we now have classes till Friday and among these five days, four are morning classes (8 a.m classes). the only 'fun' times i look forward to is eating time and that also eating with head full of thoughts about assignments and tutorials and midterms. if we used to hang out and enjoy our Sundaes at Mcd, talk and laugh about the most random things in the world, now we just sit there with traumatized faces!

i know i'm not the only one but i am so pissed at myself for being a lousy group leader and a lousy person as a whole that i feel the need to unleash these fucked up feelings!!!!! i'm still trying to suppress my anger but i think my face is giving away all my thoughts!!! i need help!!! WTF and i hate those pigs in Angry Birds!!!!!!!! SIGHS i'm going to take a break now. giving myself a half an hour 'grace period' before i start world war three with my revision notes FML FML FML

Photography Activity

2011-02-20T15:03:00.008+08:00

my first time at Kampar's newly-opened Secret Recipe.

:D o__o >:|

Lee Xien's Banana Cheesecake, yo!

then we headed to campus for the photography activity. it wasn't that hot but i get dark easily so definitely wasn't a pleasant experience for me... :/

we sat in a circle and took photos like this from different angles.

seriously how many more secretly stashed DSLR-s are there??

Char Siew Zai trying to take a photo of a pile of cat poop -__-;

unexpectedly, the event lasted for 3 hours o____o i thought we could go back at 7 but the thing dragged on till it was dark. after we were done taking photos, we passed our memory cards to the tech guy so he could save the photos into his laptop. i don't know how long they're gonna take to piece everything together to become that 3d matrix thingy.

guess we'll have to wait and see.

p.s: there are a lot more photographs but i can't upload all cos my web album has almost reached its limits.

I'm not seeing anyone right now. I'm not sleeping with nurses. Residents...attendings... Nobody. So I'm an untapped source of raw power. I'm telling you, I have the energy of ten men.

Terrible Experience Dining at The Gate Cafe, Taiping.

2011-02-05T20:08:00.007+08:00

while i'm still calm and composed, i would like to relate an incident that had just happened to my friends and i at THE GATE CAFE, Taiping.

if you don't know what the hell's The Gate Cafe, it's that tiny overrated coffee shop near the fire station.

ok so back to my story. for the 3rd day of CNY, my friends and i decided to hang out and at the same time celebrate two of our friends' birthday at TGC, since most of us are back in Taiping. Calyn and I had arrived later so we had to pull in an extra table so we could join our friends. both Cal and i had had lunch at home so we didn't order anything. we were in the middle of a conversation when the owner of TGC, A DOUCHE, walked up to us and started to drag (mine & cal's) the table away. he said something along the line of "can i take this table" and began to pull the table away without my and Cal's consent.

we gave him our best mortified looks, "WHUT" we said. he stared at us. HARD. "i'mtakingthetable". and we're like "WHUT. WE'RE SITTING HERE." like what the hell man, we're sitting right there and you're just pulling the table away like you don't give a fcuk?

so then he said. "did you order anything?" well no but our friends did. FOOD & DRINKS THAT AMOUNTED close to RM50. quoted from a friend, 'since when there's a rule that states all customers of the same table must order something each'. one of my friends said that we didn't get the menu and he's like fine, he'll go get it. so he sighed, pushed the table back in and ran down to get the menu. while he's at it, Ong suggested that we leave the shop instead of giving that mofo more business.... which i think was the correct thing to do.

five minutes later, the owner came up, with a notebook and a pen in his hands, came up to our table and asked in a dissatisfied tone of voice. 'anything you want to order.' we had already reserved a cake beforehand and were in the middle of discussing if we should cancel the order or celebrate there like how we had originally planned.

out of nowhere, the owner FCKING SLAMMED the table and RAISED HIS FCKING VOICE. "ASKUZ ME, U WANT ORDER ANYTHING" causing other customers to turn to look at our direction.

Calyn: WHY ARE YOU SO RUDE

Douche: I AM THE OWNER, YOU CAN GET OUT OF MY RESTAURANT. GET OUT OF MY RESTAURANT!

Calyn: OWNER SO WHAT

Douche: *Yells something about the tables* NEXT TIME YOU WANT COME, YOU CALL TO RESERVE. I HAVE BUSINESS CARDS NAH I GIVE YOU BUSINESS CARDS.

Calyn: SO? YOU DIDN'T EVEN STATE THAT THE TABLES WERE RESERVED

Douche: YOU WANT COME, YOU RESERVE (Obviously didn't understand what Cal just said)

ok let's pause the narrating session for a couple of minutes, shall we? i need to get something out, promise it won't take long.

first off, yes, you did not fcking let us know that the tables were fcking RESERVED. was there any sign? was there any plate that state "R-E-S-E-R-V-E-D". did ANYONE bother to come tell us? NO.

ALL YOU FUCKING DID WAS DRAG THE TABLE AWAY.

Douche: GET OUT OF MY RESTAURANT

Me: *Throws douche's name card to the table* I SUGGEST YOU START LEARNING SOME MANNERS

Douche: ... *Stands there and shows Douche Face*

hello brother, you think your cafe is so great? it's because of CNY that your business seems good these days. don't act busy okay? oh by the way, i saw your name card. Stanley Yong (sui) is it? CIVIL ENG. horrrr... WASHINGTON D.C too... i see, i see. been in overseas for too long that you have forgotten your roots? your manners? is this the kind of attitude you want to show to customers? the kind of example you're setting for your workers? to be honest i wonder how your shop is still standing. you're LUCKY Taiping is a small town where hang-out places are limited. your food are over priced when they taste nothing spectacular. i only go there for the ambiance because i liked the couches BUT NO MORE. your cheap cafe has found its way in my blacklist, congratulations DOUCHE.

side note: the workers are nice, but YOU... YOU ARE JUSTTTTT... *shakes head*

and you dare to collect SERVICE CHARGE from us? RM4.37. brother, i'd choose the MAMAK'S over your 'oh-so-fab' coffee shop anytime. OH AND GOOD NEWS; THE CNY HYPE IS GONNA END. LET'S SEE HOW YOUR BUSINESS WILL GO THEN. since i am such a generous & forgiving person in nature, i'll forget about the service charge that you DIDN'T DESERVE.

I WILL EVEN THROW IN A FREE FLY SWATTER COS' OBVIOUSLY YOU'LL BE NEEDING IT.

oh and the cake we have reserved? YOU CAN SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS.

The Truth About Menstruation

2011-02-04T20:32:00.009+08:00

the reason i'm even blogging about this somewhat 'gory' issue is because... ~~it's that time of the month again and i'm mad at God for deciding that i should be a girl~~ i want to dust off the cyber cobwebs in my blog.

guys, whatever you've heard from your girl friends about period cramps, they are all TRUE.

FIVE FACTS ON MENSTRUAL PAINS

1) hurts like a bitch

2) hurts like a bitch

3) HURTS like a bitch

4) ... hurts like bitch

5) all of the above

yes guys, you've heard about menstruation from your teacher, your mom, your sister, your girlfriend, heck you even read about it in your Biology textbook because of the interesting 'graphics' (Chapter 3 anyone?). but exactly how much do you know about period cramps? for girls, having their 'period' is NOT just a walk in the park. not a 'smooth peaceful flow' between the legs. when i had my first period pain, i felt like somebody was shooting bullets into my stomach. period pain is HELL and it makes you think "why???????? why don't boys bleed too???" and your thoughts wander off to the meat cleaver in the kitchen...

absolutely never, i repeat, NEVER say things like "period pains? so what? suck it up." to a girl in the verge of dying from period pain because she will. hate. you. forever. and i mean like forever. if she's your girlfriend, don't expect anymore '<3's at the end of her text messages. if you don't have a shot gun, but would like to try this at home, ask someone to throw five punches at your stomach every 12 seconds for four hours. for more realistic effect, knock your abdomen against the edge of a table... ok i'm just kidding. you can now pull your shirt down and stay away from square tables... but the pain's the same I SWEAR.

do not be deceived by those fake sanitary pad commercials. you think wearing Laurier allows you to sleep better and Kotex lets you skip merrily along the pavements while throwing smiles at random strangers who suddenly think you're all so beautiful and sexy. YOU'RE WRONG. there is nothing sexy about wearing a pad. ~~it's like... ok you take a slice of Gardenia and wrap it around..~~ and don't get me started on when you need to use the toilet..

you need to change your pad every 4-6 hours and you need to plan when you can go to the beach for holidays because obviously you can't swim when you...that. it's that troublesome okay?? you understand/dig/feel what i'm trying to say here? noooo???? go face the wall! (or the biology textbook).

you see, being a woman/girl is extremely difficult. you think shaving your face every two days is hard? try bleeding from your you-know-what for one whole week and be realllly discreet about it. people cringe when the 'period' topic comes up just because it involves blood and mess. heck, one of my male family members once saw a pad wrapper and freaked out... A WRAPPER OKAY? A FRICKIN' PLASTIC WRAPPER. so you think you're so pure and hygienic is it???? ...just saying you know.

fast forward 10 years later i'm going to blog about labor pains. god i'm a busy woman.that said, sorry for the angst-filled post. THIS WAS THE PMS TALKING.

I'm good at what I do, Bailey. I'm focused, I'm disciplined, I'm more than qualified to be Chief Resident. We all know you're the Chief's favorite, but... that doesn't mean I can't take a shot.

to roommate or not to roommate?

2011-01-21T02:41:00.009+08:00

don't bother correcting my post title. let it sound grammatically shitty that way ok because i can't really keep my eyes open and i don't care :)

my roommate has always asked me, "why you never feature me in your blog wan?" and my answer to that question is the ultimate -__-

so now dear roomie your wish is granted. i shall talk about you, you and you. :D

(not my fault if the topic is not to your liking though! keke)

why you should totally get a room mate

1) you all think Kampar is the cheapest, most boring town in the whole of M'sia but wait till you hear the room rates. then your eyes will open the size of a baboon's backside. of course if compared to KL, a rm400 room sounds like a bargain but it's Kampar for god's sakes... so having a roommate is definitely an up side.

2) besides heights, poop and lizard, i also hold a phobia towards ghosts. in my imagination, ghosts are everywhere. under the bed, sitting on top of my wardrobe, in the toilet, in the toilet bowl, trapped in the mirror, under my pillow, outside the window... virtually everywhere, you see? during random outings, i'll spook my friends with ghost stories just because i know at the back of mind, i'll be going home to a room mate who'll be sharing my fears. :D

3) i'm lucky in the sense that my room mate also happens to be from Taiping. ok i'm pretty sure that did not come as a surprise -__- sorry if i made it sound like i just replaced Calyn with another person. anyways, since we're room-hometown mates, we get to go home together and split the taxi fares. however, this point is not so much of a relevance if your roommate does not share the same home town with you. (but you can still go to classes together and split the bus fares? idk -__-)

4) single and desperate? UTAR guys are not up to your standard and no one wants to befriend you? do you return to your hostel room every day alone and cry yourself to sleep? been writing hate chain mails and forwarding them to everyone who has ever poked fun of your non-existing boobs? fear not, something called 'roommates' are coming to stores worldwide.

Room mates; order now and you might get one that will willingly do your laundry for you.

5) sometimes our memory fail us and we forget to bring the keys or pick up laundries. why fear when your roommate's here? she/he is just a phone call away and you can say goodbye to your worries :)

alright we've discussed the bonuses on having a roommate. now let's move on to the dark side of the post! :)

WHY ROOMMATES ARE HAZARDOUS

... firstly, i did not intend to caps the title. it was an automatic reflex :X

1) when it comes to tight space, hygiene and tidiness play a major part. what if your personal hygiene is ranked right after a kambing's? and your roommate is someone who walks around with a bottle of Febreeze in her pocket? in a situation like this, only two things can happen after that;

a) you clean up after yourself b) your lifeless body being chucked under the sink (after getting whacked 52 times on the head with a vacuum cleaner)

... so unless you want to be ordered around to pick up your dirty laundry left strewn on the floor and on the bed, think wisely before you decide to bunk in with a stranger.
(or a childhood friend. she might have been a cute happy go lucky girl back in high school but for all you know she could be that secret O.C.D patient that screams out murder threats over a single strand of hair on the floor every 10 minutes)

2) it's extremely difficult when you find yourself stuck with an inconsiderate room mate. someone who turns on the speakers at the highest volume at the wee hours of the morning. someone who only sleeps at 5 a.m thus leaving the lights on throughout the night when you on the other hand are trying to sleep. or when he/she decides to watch Coffee Prince at 11 p.m and bursting into laughter every 5 seconds to the funny scenes.

note: this was not personal.

3) i dread spring cleaning because we have to move the furnitures around and that can be a daunting task. my room is soooo small and two people working in it is a definite no-no. you people think double the man power double the speed to get the job done but nooooo you forget twice the number of furnitures, twice the hard work... usually, in our case, one of us would do the wiping and sweeping while the other clears up the space to be cleaned.

"ei help me lift this table up, no, no, that side, not this side. move this to the left... no, that's your right you idiot! .. you hang on to it while i wipe that corner, ok hold on ar... ouch my foot dagnabbit!"

there's limited space in the room so we are unable to move around freely. we tend to be more careless, often knocking into things when room cleaning is involved. (heyyyyyy... where did this bruise come from?)

there we have it. the up sides and drawbacks of rooming with somebody else. obviously the pros outweigh the cons but that's just me. i can't write too many bad things in case my roommate decides to chuck me under the sink.

hehe don't get me wrong though, Calyn's not the problematic one. i'm probably the worst room mate one can get based on reasons that i shall not tell ...yerr why i so mengada one.

by the way, roommate's sleeping now so i guess i need to switch the lights off? but i'm scared of ghosts T__T

oh well... a good roommate's gotta do what a good roommate's gotta do. =(

p.s: did i mention Calyn laughs out loud to herself in her sleep and it freaks me out all the time?

Why I Would Make A Bad Wife

2011-01-01T19:11:00.009+08:00

1) i don't cook, or at least don't like to.

since i was little, i was not required at the kitchen; call me spoiled but i'm just used to not helping in cooking. grandma will either shoo me away or let me take the freshly cooked dishes to the table but that's it. lol. mom will sometimes let me hold the spatula but only for like ten minutes before she decide that i'll do more damage than help. as you probably noticed by now, my incompetency in cooking has nothing to do with laziness or xiao-jie ism. blame the adults :P

however, when i get in the mood, i'll try my best to cook but that's not the case most of the time lol

when i see my mom cook or serve food, i think my dad is a lucky man because my future husband is going to suffer with ajinomoto throughout the rest of his life.

what? if you want to eat then you cook la. it's only fair what. ok fine maybe i'll try to learn to cook but if you die of food poisoning, i won't be held responsible.

----

2) i won't do other people's laundry; i believe in gender equality.

i'm not going to my husband's laundry if he's fully capable of doing it himself. i don't plan on being a housewife. i will have my own job too. it's best if we could do it together.

god, no one's gonna mary me haha

3) i don't want any kidssss

i used to likeee kids, loveee kids and in fact i'm pretty good with kids lol i'm serious. but as i grew up i notice kids these days are too spoiled. sometimes when a kid starts wailing in the restaurant or cinema, i push back the urge to walk right up to the kid and beat the crap out of him lol

omg and can you imagine how rude kids these days can be?they can escape from almost anything because their parents are too stupid to notice their children's growing psychotic behaviour.

for example, a little boy can just walk up to a stranger and call him names or disturb someone having a meal and the parents would do nothing about it, instead laughing at the 'cuteness' of their child which i find sickening. the parents are retarded and i don't want to be a retarded parent so no kids for me.

well i'm only 19 and spend most of my time on Facebook so i can't guarantee i won't change my mind in the future.

-----

4) i'm cranky in the morning when i don't get enough sleep (ask my room mate)

actually, not only in the mornings; just name any given time of the day when i don't get enough rest, i won't get out of bed until my energy is replenished to the fullest; unless of course when i have classes because then i have no choice but to look like a zombie throughout lessons if i don't take coffee. i prefer not to talk when i'm sleepy, duh, cos' that would take up a lot of energy. people would often mistaken my silent treatment as a sudden emo outbreak.

but i rarely ignore people unless forced to (a.k.a person is annoying) because i'm so sugar spice and everything nice lol ok not really but a little self-praise will do my mental health good.

i hate it more when my sleep is disturbed. (again, ask my roommate). i can't sleep with the lights on and i certainly can't sleep with someone laughing out loud to Korean dramas in the middle of the night (key word: room mate) so what i'll do is scold the perpetrator without realizing the degree of my tone of voice. people who know me say i could be really scary at times but who knows? i don't know. a cranky brain is a non-functional brain.

if my future husband can't tolerate this sort of behavior, he'll go crazy and i'll retaliate. then we'll divorce. end of story. we don't even need to fight for child custody because ... (refer back to no.3)

----

5) my own mom > husband's mom

for the Chinese, once the girl is married; she belongs to the husband's side of the family; his mom, her mom. his dad, her dad.

no, no, this is unacceptable. my parents will always be my first priority. your parents come later. if you can't tolerate that, refer to no.4, last paragraph, line one.

p.s: my aunties encourage me to marry an orphan. lmao.

.
.
.

these are the reasons why i think i'll make a bad wife. looking at mom made me reflect back what kinda person i am. i'm not even close to being someone as patient and loving as her. and i think i never will be like her lol so sad right.

You think you can fight me, and win?- Richard Webber

Year-End Review

2010-12-31T16:31:00.029+08:00

as the new year is fast approaching, i can't help but to look back and wonder if 2010 had been a good year for me.

from celebrating the same birthday with a friend; to the endless Tesco trips; my foundation friends have secured a special place in my heart, lung, liver and sometimes bladder. that was wayyyy back in January. then two of my good friends left University to pursue a different purpose in life. a few of us stayed behind and were/are still close. those days are unforgettable; Melissa, KM, Dom, Calyn, Mimi, WW, Keong, David, Mama B, Joe and Joan, too.

come degree, it was very awkward at first; to the extent that i actually thought it was ok not to make friends with my course mates lol wth but when i least expected, things turned out pretty fine. sure, we all have our own friends back at home but it's still nice to have fun in a big group when in campus.

we ignore the fact that people call us lansi, lanyeong or lansilanyeong just because we're in JR. it's the same stereotype that when you are a man, you must be hamsap; which is true ahem. ok i can see that is not the best example but you get the point cos you're smart like that.

but not every thing ran on a smooth course; like there were some weird stuffs going on in the first semester that i don't want to talk about cos' i still don't understand what happened? rofl

ok then one of my childhood friends flew to U.S because she's so awesome in her studies that the U.S education is only fitting for her lol well my only piece of advice to her was "stay a virgin" keke no pun intended, i meant it from the bottom of my heart, dear.

Sop, i'm waiting for you to come back so we can tell the "story" to the rest puahahaha. *gaya Action Kamen*

i have to admit; there was a lot of heartbreak this year. alot. never told anyone about it and never will. this will be the last time that i mention it, going to let it pass; so heartbreak, go far far away.

oh i forgot to mention; this will be the year that i finally embraced the GREY'S ANATOMY FANDOM! i'm saying goodbye to One Tree Hill; these past 6 years with you were AMAZING but without Luke and Peyton; it's just not the same anymore.

also the first year i took Japanese as my language subject; it was so darn tough, like constipation; you know it's there but you find yourself unable to express yourself freely. forgive me for describing the bodily function in such an explicit manner. it was just an example; i certainly do not constipate.

2010: MY FAVOURITE KOREAN BOY GROUP DISBANDED! T-T ...bye TVXQ... ok no i mean bye JYJ but this is not really a good bye; i'll still listen to your songs just that i think i'm perfectly fine with only HoMin in the group.

plus like they say; when one door closes, another opens. due to the Dong Bang boys' sudden and devastating break up, i found refuge in SNSD. yey you guys are awesome and some people hate you guys cos' you're too pretty and sparkling (and because they're retarded and you're awesome did i mention this already).

it's been a great year for you cos' you won so many awards that you deserveeeee.

ok i'm off topic, sorry my inner fan girl took over.

and not forgetting one of my favourite memories this year is whenever i met up with the Taiping kaki-s. they are the bunch of people that i feel most comfortable with.

in 2010; i didn't always get what i wanted but i had nothing to lose either, for 2011; all i want is.... you. ok jkjk; no i'm not gonna waste my new year's resolution on you, lol; all i want is perfect health for both my parents especially mom, not only for next year but years to come too, and that i don't be so lazy anymore.... and i wanna grow taller; ok jk erm maybe...yeah but it's not really a resolution if you can't do anything about it T-T

so 2011, please be the year for me again. xoxo.

p.s: Lyn, i did mine. where's yours? :p

I am excellent. Any other hospital would be thrilled to have me. I build arms and legs out of nothing, I am a god. I am a superstar.

Crystal Home for Children

2010-12-04T22:00:00.017+08:00

on the 26th of November, accompanied by Calyn, i went to visit a children's home in Taiping for my photo essay assignment. the home is called Crystal Home for Children.

Crystal Home offers refuge to children who are either abandoned, abused or orphans.

meet Sofea, the potential camwhore XD

when we first entered the house, the kids quickly gathered around and greeted us "sister" with bright smiles and eager faces. needless to say, i was touched. i find kids nowadays spoiled and annoying.

Lily, who looks emo all the time except when in front of the camera.

Crystal Home is home to twenty girls aged between five to eighteen years old. there's also a house exclusively for boys at Taman Sri Hijau, Taiping. currently, eight boys live in that home. according to the caretaker, more children are coming to the home. this i found rather upsetting to hear.

Ivy and Sara.

these girls loveeee to be photographed, especially Sara. at the end of the day, she asked me to show her all the pictures i took of her so that she could count how many there were. she counted 37 and was pretty happy about it. then she went to boast to everyone lol.

David and Benjamin.

Benjamin is the naughtiest of the lot. and the only one who spoke BM to me unless i began to talk to him in English. he studies in St. George if my memory didn't fail me.

the adorable Sharvin

he's so adorable! first he'll give you those big watery eyes that'll make you go 'awww...' then when you want to pick him up, he starts to bawl. anyway, he's only two so no pressure on you kiddo.

i had only been there for three hours plus but i fell in love with those adorable, well mannered children. i won't forget how they all wanted to pose for the camera instead of me asking them to!

before i left the home, the caretaker, a very nice lady, jokingly reminded us to visit the kids when we have the time. i told her i hoped for the same thing.

for pictures that i've submitted for my photo essay assignment, go to this link.

Gary Clark came here for me. I gave the order to pull the plug on his wife. I got everybody shot.

It's The Snake for you.

2010-12-03T18:00:00.012+08:00

every time the whole family goes for a karaoke session and an Eminem song comes up, the older relatives would request immediate song change, as though any music after the 80's is epidemic or the end of the world. then they'll go on to lecture you about the non-existing consequences of listening to music that don't make sense. lol i mean seriously? just because a singer has his/her hair all punked up and a face you couldn't recognize on the streets because of that big ass Marilyn Monroe tattooed there doesn't mean they don't make good music.

yes sometimes they scream. for no apparent reasons. if you're 40 and above, chances are you HATE this whatchamacallit music. seriously all you need to do is just pay attention to the lyrics and you'll know why Chester Bennington felt so numb he can't feel you there.

you wanna see lyrics that don't make sense?

The Snake by Johnny Rivers, a song from the 1960's.

(just so you know, if you dig this, i hate you.)

On the way to work one morning
down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman
saw a poor half-frozen snake (Ok so far it made perfect sense.)

His pretty colored skin
had been all frosted with the dew
"Oh, well" she cried, "I'll take you in
and I'll take care of you." (A kind lady who's coincidently a reptile lover. Fair nuff'.)

CHORUS

Take me in tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
SSSSiiiiggghhhhed the SSSSSSnake (Nothing speci-- Whoa, who's talking?!)

She wrapped him up all cozy
in a comforter of silk
and then laid him by the fireside
with some honey and some milk

She hurried home from work that night
and as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken in
had been revived.

Chorus

She clutched him to her bosom
"You're so beautiful" she cried
"but if I hadn't brought you in
by now you might have died."

Well she stroked his pretty skin again
and then kissed him really tight, (Uh-oh now you've done it, woman)
but instead of saying thanks,
the snake gave her a vicious bite. (Darn it! And I was starting to like that snake)

Chorus

"I saved you!" cried that woman
"and you've bitten me but why?"
"you know your bite is poisonous
and now I'm gonna die."

"Ha ha, shut up, silly woman."
said that reptile with a grin.
"You knew darn well I was a snake
before you took me in." (HAHA woman got PWNED!)

Chorus

Oh, you better take me in ssssssiiiiigggghhhed the Snake. (Ok that's enough, Voldie)

i have absolutely no idea what Johnny was trying to tell us. my best bet is that he was trying to create a fairy-tale-like song, thus the part where the woman saved the snake, although it unfortunately turned out to be nonsensical, but at the end he got lazy and decided to end the woman's life. it could have gone further where the woman would then turn into a snake and she and the snake she saved live happily ever after. oh with snake babies too. but then the lyrics won't rhyme. bummer.

I know he's not your dad. But you have his blood and I don't, so please, give me my dad.

-Lexie Grey

Not so decent, afterall :)

2010-12-02T13:57:00.006+08:00

i realized when i blog i don't make much sense lol. i keep talking nonsense with all the random bracketed words. i told my room mate i'm going to write at least ONE decent post, with proper (i think) grammar and punctuations (except for caps cos' i'm lazy like that). so here it is.

remember how i always complain about the internet connection at my hostel? well, several weeks back, Chian Seong and Isaac discovered that the internet speed in my house is worth 4GB which means the possibility of a snail internet connection is next to zero; if you exclude the streaming of PPS and massive downloading activities going on in my hostel. however, it is worth noting that there's around 15 people living under the same roof as me, utilizing the same internet modem.

Shit happens. Agree?

furthermore, i recently found out that my house (and the house next to mine) acts as the main server for several houses under the same management. so if everyone starts to download or switch on their PPS-s, the internet speed sure dai one.

last night the line was shit slow that i gave up and went to bed early even though today is a class-free day. something or somebody is fcking with the internet and when i know who.... God knows what i'll do. perhaps clear out their fridge or throw fart bombs into their rooms.

LOL China is so cool!

i woke up earlier than i intended to: 8 a.m when i had set the alarm to 8.30. i tried to online but failed. terribly. i gave up and crept back into bed. we were supposed to follow Isaac to campus to hand in our Sun Zi assignment and then go have breakfast and he was coming to fetch us at 9.50. when i woke up for the second time, Calyn was already occupying the bathroom. i checked the time: 9.40. shittttttt. i ninja-ed out of bed and got ready.

with my hair still wet, we went to campus. Isaac waited for his friend at Block B to hand over a speaker set to him. his friend was going to have a presentation but he rides a motorbike so Isaac had offered to bring the speakers for him because he was going to campus anyway. we stopped by at May's house but she just woke up so we told her we'll fetch her to breakfast when we come back from campus.

So trueeeee :)

on the way to UTAR, Isaac and Calyn talked about the Foundation students while i listened quietly. i know, "me" and "quietly" don't match teehee. do you know that the Foundation batch after mine are not allocated the one-week study break and sometimes only have one week trimester break? so messed up leh.

we waited for 5 minutes before Isaac's friend texted him to say his motorbike's tyre punctured so Isaac drove back to Westlake to fetch him. once again we rode past the guard house and into the campus ground where his friend got off at Block B. then Isaac sped to Block G to hand in the paperwork while Calyn and I waited in the car because we had shorts and slippers on. once that's done we went back to fetch May and then had breakfast at Kim Keong. next we went to McD's drive-through for Sundae cones and then to campus again to drop May off because she was seeing some Christmas caroling event that was going on at the main cafeteria.

Geek dumpsite in Japan, if I'm not wrong.

back in my room, i face the laptop again not knowing what else to do. i really want to go out and take photographs but the weather's not permitting. perhaps i'll do so later in the evening if i'm still in the mood. right now i just want to relax and savor the last week of my really awesome short trimester. i can't imagine the 7 heavy subjects i'm taking in 14 horrifically long weeks of next trimester.

p.s: photos are obviously not mine. sources are as stated at the bottom of each image. TQ.

No, do not. Do not Calliope me. Ok, you said it was awesome. George. Sweet, kind George, who can't even kill a fly is joining the army to go to Iraq in the middle of a war and you said awesome.

Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale

2010-11-29T01:36:00.007+08:00

i've finally watched Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale.

went with my cousin, brother and aunt.

it's a very good animation, as expected from Disney. although, i must say, the songs are boring. the 3D effect? well.... it was not necessary

if you'd ask me, i'm all up for Harry Potter in 3D instead.

[Spoiler] when Rapunzel got her hair chopped off and turned brunette, i leaned over to my cousin and said, "Hey how come it still looks nice when it was so sloppily cut off??"

well, cartoons would be cartoons -___- [/Spoiler]

meet my favourite character... Pascal!

isn't he the most adorable chameleon you've ever set eyes on?

actually he's the only chameleon i think cute.

look at those eyes,

they're saying, "i'm still adorable so whatever."

Maximus is soooo cute too.

ok that's pretty much my comment on him.

Maximus kinda reminds me of Khan from Mulan, which by the way is my fav disney cartoon :)

my advice is don't watch RAPUNZEL in 3D if you sayang dompet. doesn't make much difference anyways.

i've watched SKYLINE too.

when you see this poster, no matter where: newspaper, TV, internet... ignore it. i repeat, ignore it. run when possible. run and never look back. for this could be the stupidest, most pointless sci-fi movie you'd ever watched. had a headache before i watched this and it got worse when the show was over.

Doraemon could have sealed a better deal. and yes, i consider Doraemon a sci-fi character. ok review's over. now wipe the image of this poster off your mind.

I don't camp! My parents were lounge lizards. I was raised in a bar!-Alex Karev

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows?

2010-11-25T23:53:00.008+08:00

THIS SHOW IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

who said it was boring?? WHO?? WHO??

the graphics, the gore, the way the story unfolds just like in the novel,

THE AMAZING CASTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

although, Ron seriously needs a hair cut. it's annoying me. lol.

how could TWILIGHT even be compared to it??????????? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and here's a tribute to Harry Potter from yours truly :)

because i was bored and this seemed fun to do. sorry for the lame dialogues. bleghh :P

p.s: tomorrow i'll be taking photographs at the orphanage for PJR's third assignment. i'm so nervous! T_T

The Opposite Me

2010-11-23T02:06:00.007+08:00

today, May said something absolutely revolting but hilarious at the same time. hahahahaha

" I フク him."

lol.

anyways, forgive me for being so fcking annoying right now but it's an inside joke that nobody from outside the circle should ever know, like ever. i'm only dumping it here because i have no one else to tell to. XD

ok lame time over. let's talk about today. in PJR, we did a little activity on news categorizing. actually it wasn't necessary but Sir needed to kill time because he couldn't just let us off two hours earlier.

oh anyone watched Harry Potter yet? i've heard mixed responses regarding this movie. some said it was totally not worth the time while others thought it was a hit. i admit that being a HP book fan, i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the movie is definitely a hit. people who have watched and called it boring must be

a) those who have never, ever, touched (maybe seen, or heard about) a HP novel.
b) 60 and above
c) a Twilight fan

am hoping to catch up on HP this week once i get back to Taiping.

on another note, recently discovered a really talented Taiwanese artist. i was never a fan Taiwanese songs but this singer changed my perception.

i first saw her in Super Idol, a Taiwanese singing competition but have never given her much thought. plus, i only watched the show when i get tired of onlining. and because most of the time there are no good shows on Sunday (no Astro, that's why).

it's only recently that i found out that "he" is actually a "she". initially i thought that "he" was a guy with a really cute voice. then i started to Youtube her and grow fond of her music.

i would like to emphasize that she actually turning out to be a girl doesn't change my perception of her as a talented artist. she actually helped to compose the lyrics to the song, "The Opposite Me" (video above). the lyrics are simple but meaningful. people don't often notice, but it's the little things that count. and she managed to tell her life story through this one song, it's great.

perhaps those who know how to read and write in Chinese would think that this song is lame. because being someone 3/4 buta huruf Cina, i find really big Chinese-y words in there that i wouldn't understand at all without (oh-thank-god-for-the) English translation so i find the song admirable to a certain extent.

the lyrics captured my attention,

"in this world, what am i fighting for? it's so tiring."

"the ugly ones, the beautiful ones, how many millions have been ridiculed?"

i have no answer to that. nobody does.

(shit. i'm so emo)

If it's gonna be our place, I just need it to be a little more smiley.-Arizona Robbins

Touch & Go

2010-11-20T02:31:00.005+08:00

hello i'm making time for my blog. so lately nothing exciting happened but i'm still going to rant anyway.

i love short semesters because i can really relax with just a few assignments in hand. plus, i'm enjoying my Japanese assignment :) god i sound too positive to be true. anyways, been tremendously busy with a TVB drama [No Regrets], a Korean drama as well [Mary Stayed Out All Night] and of course Grey's Anatomy. yeah i know, should really start putting more effort on stupid stuff like assignments and midterms.

whatever, that's enough rubbish for today i think. till we meet again, have lots of chocolates.

p.s: planning to make my blog public again. i'm very annoyed that it keeps asking for my PW and Username wtf it's my blog ma. it's like standing at the door steps of your house and yelling your name to your dad so he'd open it for you to go in. -_-

But, I like the girl who has the sandwiches. Ok?-Arizona Robbins

P.S: i'm also taking JAPANESE this semester. good? bad? my stereotypical teacher say hor, if you no talking or reading or writing Chinese, you no take Japanese. so i think if you no speaking Chinese, you better choose French as your language subject, わかりましたか?

First Official LKP Meeting of The Sem

2010-10-29T13:21:00.006+08:00

under JRunited, we have a sub-group called LKP (nothing to do with LP ha) short for Lai Kay Poh, which means 'come busybody' in Hokkien.

not everyone in JRunited is entitled to the membership of LKP. it's exclusive i tell you. E-X-C-L-U-S-I-V-E!

whaaat? you think it's a stupid name for a stupid club? aha that's when you're deceived. LKP meetings range from mamak talks to club house rendezvous. we talk about ANYONE & EVERYONE, even the nasi lemak auntie or that someone who's a friend of a friend of a friend of an LKP member.

we could even be talking about you *wriggles eyebrows*. (been sneezing much?)

if you're wondering why there's so many supersized photos of Shelyn, it's because she's (un)fortunately in front of me most of the time. =)

Meredith Grey: Did you let me scrub in for this operation because I slept with you?

Delighting You Always

2010-10-29T10:36:00.012+08:00

hello blog!!!!!! ...ok that sounds weird.

...

i finally couldn't ignore my long abandoned blog (i see virtual cobwebs) PLUS i have something to blog about now.

got myself a new camera :)

well, no, not just any new camera doofus.

THIS.

the Canon 550D! i know what you all jealous asses are thinking, "show off", "that's a noob camera".

WHATEVS.

because the truth it, i know nuts about operating cameras, digitial cameras in fact, let alone a DSLR. the most advanced 'camera' i've ever own came from my handphone -___-

i'm not afraid to admit that i have probably no talent at all in photography. to me a perfect picture is a clear picture; thats all =)

prolly the main reason why i bought the camera was the value of art the of photography.

quoted from Shelyn Chong, "People sees photography as a classy hobby." because not everyone can just lalalala into the tech shop and buy a DSLR for the heck of it. the cheapest one also at least RM1000 plus.

when you say photography, i imagine myself carrying a dslr over my shoulder as i travelled from one country to another by hitchhiking strangers slash serial killers, looking dishevelled and all dramatic as i take the photo of the century before i get shot by some random Israeli and they'll place a Pulitzer price on top of my casket singing ~~Negaraku~~ Amazing Grace.

i find it kinda awesome lor.

before ending this post;

my roommate asked if i had a name for my DSLR (since it's so precious and blah)

at the brand name 'Canon' i immediately thought of 'Balls'.

then i tried to use every verb/noun in existence to see if the name fits.

replace the word 'camera' with 'balls'.

1) don't touch my camera

2) don't play with my camera

3) you don't have (a) camera?

4) please be careful with my camera

5) my camera is(are) kinda heavy

6) i need to wipe my camera clean

and lastly,

7) my camera's motto is(are) Delighting You Always

let's just say the name was forgotten.

Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Hi, I'm Isobel Stevens, but everyone just calls me Izzie.

Miranda Bailey: I have five rules. Memorize them. Rule number one, don't bother sucking up. I already hate you, that's not gonna change.

Mistaken Identity

2010-09-27T13:59:00.008+08:00

sorry if the title has misled you. hehe. it's a song that i've just discovered in YouTube through Grey's Anatomy. omigosh i totally dig that show. back then i used to hate it, no offense to all you G.A diehards, because i placed my heart, soul and insane obsession fully on One Tree Hill and everything else was next to rubbish LOL. then Chad Michael Murray and Hilary Burton got axed from the show starting season 7 (smart move Mark Schwan) and that marks the end of my OTH fandom.

just watched Grey's Anatomy Season 7 Episode One two days ago. to be honest i only really followed the show starting season 6. but i do watch random episodes from different seasons every now and then. it is because of my favourite character, Arizona Robbins, played by Jessica Capshaw, who only magically (magic because she believes there's pixie dust in her patient's IV bag sofckingcutelor) appeared in Season 5 and after that became a series regular throughout Season 6 and hopefully, Season 7.

5 subjects down, one more to go tomorrow! i'm feeling positive about things because i'm going back to Taiping in less than a week's time. oh, just to update you sexy readers out there; i'm disappointed with how i've performed for my Advertising and IPC papers. i think i also did not-so-good for the JR, Mass Comm and C.E papers. i guess that means i have ZERO confidence for EVERY subject which basically comes down to one thing: I'M SO FCKING SCREWED.

arghh, i need to preserve the positive aura. so here's a song whose lyrics i find quite intriguing. and i do apologize for the sloppy update. moi. bo. mood.

just call me a case of mistaken identity

you cast your life in a way that means its all been for love
but I think well both agree that wont get there til dusk

so switch on that smile and well both fade away
while wait for the carnival and the papers to state
what we both know to be true, that this breath aint the same without you

all my seasons change.
all my reasons have left to go away
oh yeah Ive been down some, but Ill be okay

you talk of roses and aphrodisiacs,
youre yelling out obscenities,
youre looking to react to the call of the moon that is begging you for time
we sift through the matter and the concept of doom
while we raise dirty glasses and try to resume
this challenge, that is walking up hill to you

all my seasons change.
all my reasons have left to go away
oh yeah Ive been down some, but Ill be okay
oh yeah Ive been down some, but Ill be okay

just call me a case of mistaken identity
why dont you come over and well discuss over coffee
you cast your life in a way that means its all been for love
but I think well both agree that wont get there til dusk

you came up empty when you were called to the line
you gave what you could, now its time to resign
the chorus is waiting there for you

oh yeah Ive been down some, but Ill be okay
oh yeah Ive been down some, but Ill be okay

Keep Breathing :*(

if you have forgotten that someone

will it still hurt when you remember them?

if it does

then what does that mean?

The storm is coming but I don't mind

People are dying, I close my blinds

All that I know is I'm breathing now

I want to change the world

Instead I sleep

I want to believe in more than you and me

But all that I know is I'm breathing

All I can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing now

All that I know is I'm breathing

All I can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing now

have you ever wondered...

2010-09-22T02:08:00.006+08:00

in relation to the exam season, have you ever posed this question to yourself?

IS STUDYING TOO MUCH ~~DEADLY~~ BAD?

hmmmmm so now you're wondering eh?

unfortunately, no.

*ignores gasps of disbeliefs*

studying DOES NOT kill you.

in fact, it's no where near life-threatening. *throws tantrum*

i tried Googling; CAN A STUDENT DIE FROM STUDYING TOO MUCH?

who knows i might get something to show to my parents as proof.

"oh no, don't study too much. i read the article you showed me last week that said studying too much can cause your precious arteries to rupture like a ripened zit. now throw that piece of shit textbook aside while i make you hot chocolate with marshmallows to go with."

but no. no no no no no.

some weird results showed up instead.

like, Student Dies on Nightclub Dance Floor after Chugging Four Red Bull

something non-related at all

like, Agony and Ecstasy: A Case Study on Cell Membrane Structure

(what the heck)

THE END.

oh well, back to studying. :(

some short reviews

2010-08-30T22:03:00.000+08:00

word of advice: if the trailer's already BAD, the movie is worst. don't ever go for movies with bad trailers.

CITY UNDER SIEGE (Spoiler Ahead!)

it is a HK drama starring Aaron Kwok and Shu Qi (whom i didn't even know was in the movie till halfway through)and revolving around mutants and a cool superspy agent couple.

so okayyyy the storyline wasn't that badd... mutants... now that's originalll....

recognize the dude?

yeah para para sakura, whatever.

more like pura-pura suka now that the show just cost me RM10

yup you're staring at a chameleon

now don't give me that "no animals were hurt in the making of-" shit

this dude died in the movie ok?!

whaaaat?

an Asian Ben of Fantastic Four?

NO WAY!

wait he has fangs and weird-looking muscles

is it... botox?

okay maybe i'm just being bias cos there weren't any good-looking actors

(Aaron Kwok is way past his time ok?!).

give me a sec, let me think about the good points of the movie.

uhhmm,

ok, no. this movie sucks.

moving on....

now this show...

this show ROCKS MY SOCKS!

nah just kidding.

this one sucks too.

they should make the word "suck" bigger so that it covers the whole goddamed poster

BUT

i hate the Twilight saga

so yeah this show rocks.

go watch.

like now.

i'm tired of complaining but shit keeps coming

2010-08-26T00:39:00.002+08:00

Journalism assignment is by far the most complicated shit ever! we have to create like a freaking newspaper from scratch- write our own articles, do the layout and get the end result printed.

i don't care if i sound whiny. i DESERVE to.

today isn't like the usual, "bangun pagi, gosok gigi, sikat rambut, lipat selimut", but more like, "terpaksa bangun pagi, belum gosok gigi terus duduk depan computer, SKIPPED class (sorry mom)." yes i skipped Mass Comm lecture and actually feel extremely guilty about it. not trying to sound like a goody-two-shoes but every class is paid by parents and we shouldn't be absent for classes without reasons, cehwah.

Calyn was responsible for the layout and i sat there to watch her. my dear, bless you for your meticulous nature but for God's sake, one hour spent on a SINGLE article is just ridiculous. i swear i burst a few hundred neurons watching you fix the same spacing over and over again. LOL

i was (kinda) helpful in a way, by commenting on her layouts and editing the articles. if you think i didn't do much, then, hello, the other day i used Illustrator to do the newspaper instead of Publisher, which is way easier to handle, and ended up staying up the whole night?? and the class was at 8?? and i had to present the newspaper soft copy as well?? i looked retarded the whole of Monday... and the last class finished at 8 p.m.

anyway, today i woke up at 8 ++ and started doing. then Calyn woke up and took over from me. i got tired so i went to bed again. woke up at 11++ then sat there and helped her. when we realised the little time we have left to complete the assignment, we decided to skip the one and only class for today, Mass Comm. so we continued doing until like 1pm++ and then went for lunch at mamak because there's nothing to eat at home. on the way home, got myself an old-school ice cream with the cheap cone and almost tasteless chocolate topping which made me feel like a kid again. (until the ice cream melted and trickled on my hands, thighs and stained my hair)

the weather was so "awesome" that i couldn't see anything when i got back to my hostel. i even felt a little feverish due to the awesome sunburn. we reached at about 2.30 pm and resumed our work at 3 pm right up

to 9.40 pm. Isaac then came and helped us with the pages. i think it was about 10 pm by the time we left to print and we had to walk fast because the shop closes at 10.30 pm.

by 11 we got everything printed out. i was so exhausted and hungry... it was almost like Famine 13 (instead of 30 because we worked from 8++ to 9++). treated myself a burger after the excruciatingly painful day and got cheese stuck to my hair. so now i have ice cream and cheese on my hair. shoot me. please.

overall, i think i am a bad group leader because i sucked in delegating the work. i don't even want to start with how i manage my time. but all's fine because i finally get to sleep before it hits 1 a.m!

oh wait, i have to wake up at 5 a.m tomorrow for the PTPTN briefing. walking to campus again. FML

"So macam mana? Kalau saya nak saman awak, boleh?"

2010-08-22T18:15:00.007+08:00

i guess it's true how they always say "malang tidak berbau" (bad luck no smell) as my friend was just given a fine for not wearing the seatbelt for the first time. however, this is not what i'm going to highlight today.

i've always believed that among those "kebabian" people, perhaps one or two are really honest in enforcing the law. i don't normally stereotype; unless circumstances force me to. and this is one of those "circumstances".

we took off from Westlake and were heading to New Town Kampar when we were stopped by a policeman. my friend, the driver, immediately panicked because she didn't think the seatbelt was necessary given the distant of our destination. i have to admit that she's at fault in this but once again, i would like to repeat that this is not what i want to highlight in this post.

okay, so she pulled over at the side of the road where he (yes you, Officer Yusree) asked for her identity card and car license. fine, that was not a problem; so she showed him.

*breathes*

if you can't stand for cheap chinese foul language and angst-filled blog post, please leave this page immediately.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

he then said something that took me by surprise. "so macam mana sekarang? kalau saya saman awak, boleh tak?"
huh, what the fuck do you mean by that? we can actually choose NOT to get fined? geez i HAD NO IDEA you can have the courtesy to ask someone if you can SAMAN them.... interesting,

OR, officer, did you have something else in mind? *coughs$$$coughs*

my friend was panicking so she couldn't really bring herself to say anything. she looked at me, i looked at Calyn and Calyn stared at her lap LMAO.

giving him the benefit of the doubt, i apologised for my friend and told him honestly that my friend really didn't think it was necessary to put on the seatbelt because we were only going for a 5 minutes drive to a bakery in town.

i mean, what else can we do RIGHT? other than APOLOGISING?

... it's not like we can buy our way out... riiiighhhttttt?

i didn't want to jump to conclusions. after all, there might be the slightest chance that he would let us off the hook if we sincerely apologise.

BUT no, he kept repeating, "so macam mana sekarang? nak saman ke tak?" why the hassle ask so many fruitless questions? we didn't say anything because now we know his true intention. next, he asked my friend to get out of the car. ok, so WHY must she get down the car? if you want to fine her, do it there and then laa... unless there were cases where people use their feet to receive their summon tickets? aiyoyo macam taik betul la.. .

Calyn and i got down the car, too.

other than Yusree (the good lad he is), there were two other police officers. the senior officer saw us and said, "uui, ramainya."

kenapa? you ada apa secret nak bagitau kawan saya sampai dia seorang saja kena pergi?

so this officer Y here wouldn't give up. he took out the summon booklet and said, "kalau saya start tulis je, tak boleh tarik balik dah saman ni." his colleague continued, "so nak kena saman ke tak?"

oi you jangan cakap lanjiao kat sini. what do you mean by that? cakap sajalah what you want. don't expect us to "faham faham sajalah" ma cibai youu. and then the friend asked me, "you dari mana?" again, tell me the significance of of this question. why? kalau saya dari Ipoh, ada discount ke? kalau dari KL, ada special rate ka? ataupun you nak bagi students rate?

if we deserve the saman, then by god's will, saman sajalahhhhhh. you officers kenapa banyak cakap? then he asked me "kenapa macam sedih saja?"

abuden? you pernah tengok orang senyum bila kena saman? bodonakmampos.

i couldn't supress my anger anymore and so i asked the asshole, "saya pelik kenapa awak masih tanya sama ada nak kena saman ke tak?kami ada pilihan ke?" i just wanted to see his reaction to that question.

AND oh. em. gee. at this point you should have seen his face fell as dark as my armpit hair. "maksud awak?" in his so-called law-enforcer-intimidating tone of voice. hamster pun lagi garang.

"tak... saya rasa pelik je." i said, showing him buat bodoh face. he actually kept quiet while his friend answered for him, "mana tau kalau nak cakap sorry ke, janji tak buat lagi ke.." yeah, yeah, continue your cock-talking until the cows come home. "tadi saya sudah cakap sorry, suruh bagi chance..." i explained. fuhhh i guess that must have triggered them la.

YUSREE instantly pen down my friend's details, sparing no mercy. he must have got the hint that we were refusing to act on his interest.

"saman je la.." i heard him saying to himself. yeah that's right, saman sajalah.

apa you ingat you bagus sangat ke pakai uniform.

dulu saya jadi Ketua Tingkatan pakai uniform sekolah yang siap macam apron pun lagi bergaya then you. at least i don't go around asking people whether they want to get fucked or not. (i.e: "you were supposed to throw rubbish today. now our class is nominated for Kelas Terkotor. so how now? kalau saya bagi nama awak kat cikgu, boleh tak?" *smiles* )

and so, reasons why i no longer have respect for these people.

1) the things they say.

"amoi, you keluar sekarang." the name is not amoi. same like i won't call every Malay girl minah and every Indian girl, letchumi.

also, please mind your tone. we have only commited a minor offense. there's no reason for you to treat us like federal criminals

"you jangan tipu, takkan first time." tipu you boleh dapat duit ke? kalau ada pun, semua sudah masuk dalam poket you la. (oops).

"you call la sapa2 yang you mau." (when Calyn was advising my friend to call her relatives) yes, my dear authoritative figure, we have the rights to give a call to anyone we like. i hate your face, so i'm going to say there's no need for you to comment on that.

unless you.... takut?

2) ~~they remind of school prefects~~ please scroll back to the top.

sighs. i don't normally touch on issues like this. but Yusree made me.

2010-08-18T22:57:00.000+08:00

but right now absolutely no words can describe how i feel.

please, help me out of this.

Calyn: But that's different. A pillow is sacred.

Me You drool on it.

Calyn: At least it's MY drool.

ATM, my love.

2010-08-14T00:39:00.004+08:00

i hate withdrawing money. wait, scratch that. i hate withdrawing cash from the ATM at UTAR. why?

because once the ATM breaks down for a day or two, when you want to withdraw money after that, there will be this extremely long queue of people waiting. and it's troublesome because apparently, SOME people do not know how to use the ATM. *gasps*

i don't know whether it's the problem with my face or God just hates my guts but i always end up queing behind people who takes more than five minutes at the ATM. i have no idea what they are doing; just staring blankly at the screen for a few long seconds like it's pay-per-view or something.

like, hello, it's the ATM, not friggin' Dota. you don't need a strategy to have your money taken out. the cash dispenses outta the same slot all the time. it's not like today the money comes out from the front and tomorrow, from the back of the machine.

today the same thing happened. i was already so tension because i was about to withdraw money to pay for the PTPTN printing. it's not cheap, you know. a few Ringgits here and there can jeopardise my whole money-saving plan. unfortunately for me, there was this one girl who was taking so long at the ATM that i cannot tahan and blurted "wahlao eh why so long arh??" out loud to Calyn and scared a girl who was queing in front of her. she gave me the O.O look and quickly turned away when our eyes met. (no, this isn't supposed to sound romantic).

i don't know what that girl was doing. *click*click* *stares blankly at screen* *click* *pauses*

URGHHHH.

why make life so difficult for everyone?

if you can post like 1930829746 Facebook statuses in day, i'm sure you'll have no problem punching in your PIN number in less than 10 seconds. please have some consideration for the person waiting behind you because she might need to catch the earliest bus home or she'll have to walk ( me, me, ME!).

i needed to channel out my anger. thank God for blog.

like, seriously?

2010-08-12T20:01:00.002+08:00

hello. i'm gonna write about today.

today is a hot day. the sun was too bright.

i was blinded. but i didn't bring my shades.

what else happened today? erm erm, i brushed my teeth and bathed. then... i ate. yeah, i ate. the bus driver called me "ah moi" and i was like, wtf that's not my name, that's not my name.

crap. i don't know what else happened. ok, let's skip today and go back to yesterday, ~~i'm not the man that i used to be.~~ when i met my academic advisor, Mr. Khairul for the first time.

i thought he was pretty nice until he said this,

"don't be stressed. i will sms you or call you to remind you to achieve your (cgpa 3.5) target."

O....kay, so much for comfort, sir.

fast-forward to today. i didn't pay attention in class, again. :`( and i ate two popsicles. for dinner, i decided to be economical and ate at the mamak place. i had to tilt my head to the left to let the mi goreng gather at the left side of my cheek because the big ass pulsating bitch ulcer is on the right of my bottom lip.

wait, there's too many prepostions in that sentence HAHA have fun imagining. =P

what else. ooooh i camwhore-ed in the bus.

damn it i need a new conditioner.

after dinner at mamak, Calyn and I waited for the rain to stop before walking back home. it was still raining when we're on the way but we didn't want to take chances in case the bloody rain gets heavier.

saw that the travelling fun fair is still here and this particular ride caught my eye.

what? what's that?

can somebody tell me the mastermind behind this eerily-shaped ride?

and kids are supposed to sit on that?

whaaaaat?

Unleash your inner artist

2010-08-11T21:18:00.001+08:00

The first drawing is mine.

The last two are Chian Seong's. xD

These are our sketches for the AV assignment. (yeah LOL all you want)

Beautiful, aren't they?

what's that? a burger or something?

and what's with the faceless people and the hands sticking up like that?

"wave your hands up like you don't care?" whaaaat you gonna take that literally?

like seriously?

what? what's so cool? the yellow strips?

Chian Seong, are you sure you can get up a car that tall?

and i don't think the lemon "tyres" can support the ridiculously huge vehicle xD

EPIC FAIL.

(oh you know the drawings are cute :p)

A little something to get me by.

2010-08-08T11:17:00.002+08:00

still no pictures. i'm too lazy to wait for em' to upload, rearrange em' and caption em'.

you get me, dawg?

i'm gonna rant about stuff so bear with me, homies.

these days, a lot of shit happened but nope, ain't gonna talk about em' cos they're nothing important. however, imma focus on the less important stuff that went on these few weeks while i went hiatus on Blogspot.

for starters, about a week ago, my coursemates and i went to Ipoh for fun, although the main idea was to catch Inception. the movie was OMG... cool and totally awesome but its level of complexity proved to be too much for my brain to handle. so i guess it's safe to say, in the end it wasn't so cool and totally awesome, after all.

and the other day, mom finally bought me a camera! it was white and shiny and what else i forgot because i was so overjoyed that i woke up from my sleep and realised it was just a bleeding dream. yeah, go ahead, God, rain on my parade.

i only had one midterm this time around (Political Science the ass it is) and i think i totally screwed it, to what degree, i don't know. let's wait for Monday. yey, now that's something to kill the Monday blues. and, and, and, because the rest of the 5 subjects don't come with midterms, the assignments scores are way over the roof so naturally, the stress level is to infinity and... beyond (?).

i can't even begin to tell the times i almost died from not eating well and irregular sleeping hours and i'm not faking it. but that's the beauty of it, learning to survive through days of famine and insomnia and still have time to go "yum cha".

i hate it when my friends get equally stressed up. they'll go all serious and tensed up and nobody laughs anymore. it scares me.

All She Knows

2010-08-01T13:40:00.000+08:00

This isn't exactly an update but just a little something for the mean time.

Check it out.

All She Knows
by Bruno Mars

Once again you're home alone

Tears running from your eyes

And I'm on the outside

Knowing that you're all I want

But I can't do anything

I'm so helpless baby

Everyday same old things

So you're still feelin pain

Never had real love before

And it ain't her fault

She knows better but

She can't help it

Wanna tell her

But would that be selfish

How do you heal

A heart that can't feel, it's broken

His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows

His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows

You've been livin this way so long

You don't know the differece

And it's killing me

Cause you can have so much more

I'm the one your looking for

But you close your eyes on me

So you still can't see

Everyday same old things

So you're still feelin pain

Never had real love before

And it ain't her fault

She knows better but

She can't help it

Wanna tell her

But would that be selfish

How do you heal

A heart that can't feel, it's broken

His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows

His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows

All she knows is the pain

In the corner of an empty home

She's still comfortable

I want her to know

It can be better than this

I can't pretend

Wish we were more than friends

Everyday same old things

So you're still feelin pain

Never had real love before

And it ain't her fault

She knows better but

She can't help it

Wanna tell her

But would that be selfish

How do you heal

A heart that can't feel, it's broken

His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows

His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows

Warning: A highly motivational post! XD

Friends.

Whether you're

Yellow or Brown

Black or White

Or even a chicken-eating Avatar

( this is the Avaterized ver. of Hern btw )

TRUE FRIENDS

will always...

Watch out for you

Camwhore with you

Stand up for you

And keep your secrets safe at heart

AND...

When you're at your lowest point in life

Tell you that the glass is half-full instead of

half-empty

Help you out in sticky situations

Be depressed when you are/ Whine with you

And cheer you on when no one else will

( yes, even through bad karaoke sessions )

FINALLY...

True friends stick together

Forever.

JUMAAT, 25/06/10- Atas tip-tip penyibuks di Westlake, polis berjaya menahan sebuah van yang disyaki membawa pendatang asing. Semasa diberkas, suspek-suspek kelihatan tenang dan tersenyum riang seolah-olah sudah mental. Selepas 20 minit membuat "sign language", suspek-suspek baru tahu mereka bakal diberkas dan mula panik. Malahan salah seorang daripada suspek cuba melompat keluar melalui tingkap van tersebut. Namun, cubaan dia gagal.

"Saya tidak bersalah. Saya datang M'sia cari duit untuk ~~beli Gucci~~ sara keluarga."

"Nampaknya terpaksa balik China kerja buruh lagi...

Ingatkan datang M'sia jadi model. Hancur!"

Suspek cuba melarikan diri melalui celah tingkap ini.

Yadda Yadda

2010-06-14T20:51:00.001+08:00

life has been kind to me so far. i made friends with everyone in class in the course of one week, except for... okay let's not go to that :D ... so yeah life's good up till now.

if you asked what's changed, i would say myself. yeah i think i might have changed. maybe a little, maybe a lot but one way or another, it definitely doesn't feel so ME anymore.

i realised at one point that i don't speak that much anymore. there i was sitting there in my friend's car, about to space out for the fourth time in ten minutes, when i was struck upon an epiphany: i spoke less than 20 words and that's odd for me. if you know me well enough then you'll know the person i am.

ever since i was in standard one, i always kena shoot for being talkative in class although i suspect it was only because the teacher could not find any other fault of mine. :)

i always have this strange thought that when i was born, instead of crying and whining, i looked straight into the doctor's eyes and went, "yo wassup" or "hey your hair's weird". stupid thought i know. but if i could talk back then, that's prolly what i would have said.

plus, there has never been a point in my life that i was socially awkward. like NEVER. so the first day of degree felt soooo weird when everyone knew everyone from orientation and i was so out of place. heck i even had friends on my first day of NS and they were Malays. i don't know know what happened but my world gradually slipped into silent.

reverse time, i wouldn't stand a minute without saying something stupid to my friends, and make them double-back with laughter. reverse time, i would feel crappy for not trying to make a conversation with a friend. reverse time, i would have cared more and thought less.

now i tend to listen more.

or sometimes i would choose to space out to my "special place" that's made up of fabricated illusions and unicorns and rainbows.

BUT, CHILL. i'm not emo ~~yet~~. all is cool.

~~God is testing me like a fucking lab rat.~~

Stickies

2010-06-13T20:23:00.000+08:00

i noticed that quite a number of my course mates have sticky notes displayed on their laptop screen so i've decided to do the same.

~~deep inside, aren't we all hypocrites?~~

Crazy

2010-06-13T09:17:00.000+08:00

once in a while we tend to go crazy

like stepping out into the rain

when others avoid it

yeah pretty crazy i would say

Yet another meaningless post... Yeah like it's ever been meaningful. Who u kidding la.

2010-06-10T00:17:00.000+08:00

i think my course mates are funny peeps. but MY COURSE? not funny at all lo. the subjects are kinda boring. not all are related to Journalism. the only thing is that they are English subjects which makes them kinda related to my course. and yeah so now i don't know what i just talked about =.=

i'm so so sorry. i think i just crapped again. all my current posts are crap you know. i have no idea what happened. it's like my brain had gone to permanent hibernation somewhere in Timbuktu and they gave me a lousy substitute that kept shutting down during Intro to Advertising lecture.

my eyes are not working properly too. always "tutup kedai" during lessons. T.T

and OMG nowadays i eat non-stop. until my stomach developed this extra "pocket" to fit the extra snacks. damn siao.

my guess is it's probably stress-related. with all the assignments coming in and stuff. and the exams to anticipate. damn fun. F-U-N... read between the lineeeees!
the weather also ki siao already mygoshmyEnglish . sometimes it gets so farking hot in the afternoon that all i want to do is stay in the bookstore for the rest of the day. and at other times the weather is so bloody effed up, like cloudy and stuffs with no sign of rain but enough to make my knees go wobbly and crazy and all arthritic-ish.

once again i would like to apologise for the "wonderful" essence of this post. for the "fark"s, the "motivational" words and the complaints.

and oh i'm carpooling now. good la. getting fat AND lazy. damn good. no wonder my eyes go on riot all the time. i have also NOT been practicing my guitar. it now officially a piece of room deco, right next to the dust bunnies and dead insects under my study table.

i'm still doubting my future profession as a journalist. come to think of it, i'm not really keh poh. if you don't want to tell me, then don't. because i don't care anyway. you can't imagine me saying the same thing to the Minister of Health or something right? like "okay lo.. whatever i don't care anyway." then roll eyes and walk away like i'm so awesome.

anyway enough of the complaints. saving the rest for the next post. and gotta stop blogging now. butt itchy la.

hari ini saya berasa bosan.jadi saya pun cuba melukis. sudah lama tidak berbuat demikian.

kalau anda tidak kenal siapa artis Korea ini, tidak mengapa sebab faham2 la kualiti lukisan ini yang tidak seberapa.

kalau anda kenal, tahniah. anda ada super power.

Lalalala

2010-06-05T07:14:00.001+08:00

i slept at 10 something last night. way too early than usual. i woke up several times and was disappointed when i reached for my hp to see that it was only like 4 am ++. then at last got up at 6 something. beh tahan.

brushed teeth. combed hair. sat in front of computer screen. WHAT'S NEXT?

ok i'll try to blog. about yesterday... yesterday. what happened yesterday. ahhh... our first Communicative English class. honestly, i felt that the tutor was too good. TOO GOOD that i was so effing depressed at the end of the class. she spoke about expectations. that's like the last straw to me. the E-bomb.

i tried to picture myself as a journalist.

perhaps the type to "Can you comment on this?" "Sorry no comment" "Oi fcuk you la."

OR

"Can you tell me why your head is so big?" "Sorry no comment." "Err okay." then go home and create own story so won't kena marah.

AND THEN there's another thing with my English. it's so so so not up to standard. like a fishing rod that's good enough to catch fish but not the big ones LMAO

maybe i should have considered E.L. the reason why i didn't was because i would most likely end up as a lecturer. but it's better than to run around aimlessly with one microphone in one hand and a notepad on the other. and the camera man becomes your best friend.

lecturing could be good. like standing around all day. and some people actually pay attention to you.

can bar people samo. damn good. XD

Ssk please focus

2010-06-02T00:10:00.000+08:00

okay second day of degree is less depressing. even if it's not i'd lie because who'd want to read about suicidal emo stuffs. duh.

journalism project-create a newspaper (something like that, wasn't really listening)

mass comm project- design a friggin' magazine (of anything except pornography, 15 pages, A3 size)

introduction to advertising- create some handwriting shit/brochure/TVC/storyboard ( this one i die already. absolutely no idea about Adobe photoshop! )

oh btw intro to advert is so horribly boring. the lecture is like what 3 hours? but since this is the first week the lecturer let us off like an hour ++ earlier. imagine when i have to like really sit there for 3 hours!!! wahlao i will die. my eyes couldn't even open the first 20 minutes. sucks man. and that's it i'm sitting at the back the next time. can doze off without getting caught :D

intro to political science- also absolutely boring but Mr. Afi the lecturer is kinda funny so it makes the subject less depressing.

i realise i tend to zonk out every five minutes in class. i think it was in Interpersonnal Communication where all i heard was blablablablabla... persuasion... blablablabla... public relations... blablablablabla... GOD I NEED TO FOCUS! *snaps outta holiday mood

2010-06-01T06:49:00.001+08:00

Today I...

2010-05-29T14:53:00.002+08:00

what did i do today?

woke up. followed dad for breakfast. ate economy bee hoon. then off to TM point. picked mom up from her office along the way.

saw the same Indian woman behind the counter for the 3rd time this month. had some problems applying the streamyx unipack thingie. waiting for confirmation.

dropped mom off. headed home. too lazy to facebook or youtube so settled down with a book.

"The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole" by Sue Townsend which was lent to me by my dear friend Jivitha years ago and which I have not finished reading up till today. sorry Jivi will return it to you the next time we meet.

anyway the story tells about a boy who keeps a diary. he hates his body freckles and occasionally measures his thing with a ruler. sorry for the random, crude summary but that really got me wondering whether all boys do the same. please do not respond to this.

the book was entertaining except i didn't quite get half of what was written so i pretty much assumed most of the brit slangs/terms. too lazy to look up the dictionary. finished the book in about 2 hours. got down to eat, to my horror, bee hoon again. almost ate my way to death. but no complains cos it got me full.

sorry for the monotone.

then i changed into comfortable clothes and onlined. then Pink Monster texted about ptptn stuff which totally dragged my mood further down. stupid, stupid procedures and stupid, stupid documents.

got to have everything settled by today.

p.s: extremely bad time to have long hair. T___________T

Heaven?

2010-05-28T00:12:00.000+08:00

these days i find no reason to blog so i'm just gonna crap whatever that comes to mind. i mean you don't want to know what i ate today or whether i washed my hair or not right?

err ok let's crap! ( and i ate two pieces of Twiggies and a Squiggle and i didn't wash hair today ) ok here comes story number one.

The Girl Next Door

so once there's this guy named Tom Cruise who lived next to err Megan Fox, his childhood crush. then since she was like super sexy and stuff he got like really attracted to her ( men, you know them ) and tried to court her. amazingly, he succeeded so they start to date like go watch movies and buy couple clothes. they do whatever couples do like share the same straw and braid each other's hair.

then one day Megan fell in love with Brad... Pitt? yeah Brad Pitt. so Tom was really heartbroken because of what Megan did to him and he couldn't move on because he was not good-looking or whatever so he became depressed and have to pop like 6 bottles of sleeping pills to sleep at night.

with a dangerously unsound mind, he kept thinking about his ex-girlfriend and one day he just snapped. so he grabbed a spatula from the kitchen and barged into next door. what he saw shocked him: Brad and Megan were braiding each other's hair, like how Tom and Megan used to do and that was like the last straw. Tom couldn't take it and used his spatula to bludgeon the couple to death.

then he cut them up and ate them for dinner. oh with chilly sauce. then he also died because his tummy exploded.

THE END.

Finally....

Just Like Before

2010-05-11T01:25:00.003+08:00

must have been months since we last gathered but no complaints because we're still tight!

we met up at Oldtown and had drinks. played Truth or Dare with Mag's Iphone which turned out pretty lame because she only had the 6 y.o and below version and the rest of us were like, "why not the 18++ one??" and Mag told us need money to download that version LMAO so she didn't.

Wei Ling left for tuition at 6 even though we tried to make her ponteng haha lame shit la your friends, Wei Ling.
then we decided to go for a movie because what else can you do in Sentral? it's pathetic, you know lol.

it was only 6 and "The Losers" (movie we planned to watch) starts at 7.20 p.m so we had plenty of time for dinner. Mag drove Gaik Tian and me to Prima and we just chilled in the car and talked while waiting for Calyn and the gang. we started to talk about the interesting places in Taiping and turned out there weren't many actually. then our convo moved on to about Taiping Zoo and the next thing we know we were talking about secondary school.

we tried to remember who sat where in class but failed haha then we talked about the only 3 malay girls in our class; Naimah, Amirah and Nadiah. suddenly Gaik Tian was like, "Huh Amirah? OMG that day i saw her and called her Ain thoughout the whole time!" Mag and I cracked up like crazy. then i told them how Sophia forgot how Amirah looked like wtf there were only 3 malays in our class and yet they can hardly remember those 3 lol

we did our first lala pose last year during a trip to Penang

and this was the second pose for reminiscent's sake

Gaik Tian: kekekekekeke

Ssk: WTF??

Lady in Pink Cojc and dorky Maggie :)

Calyn:

Yes our scandal is real hehehehe

Maggie:

Put this in the paper, the internet, Nanyang Siang Pao, The Star whatever i don't care what you do.

Our love will prevail, go LGBT!

"Yes i was the one who wasted 50 cent on the parking meter after 6!"

shake a bum bum.. shake a bum bum... UHHHHH...

because we look tall without Elyn, Shu Shan and Calyn in the picture.

here we are on the way to one of Taiping's main attraction

ei Ipoh-Kampar friends if you ever come to Taiping don't miss the chance to visit the night life at Eliathamby. Calyn bravely drove into the narrow road of Eliathamby and i saw "them" standing at the road sides waiting for customers. so bloody creepy and yet astonishing all the same lol. then the headlights kinda shone on of the pondan's face which scared the shit out of me. not discriminating here but that pondan really scared the daylights out of me with the thick make up and traumatized expression God knows caused by what lol.

at the end of the little road trip we spotted 5 pondans, 3 pimps and one old man. there's no reason to it but we had fun counting :D
