The last festival of the year

Starring at the ceiling, struggling to keep my eyes open. I can't help but wonder what actually the saying 冬大過年 'dong da guo nian' means. Is that because the people of past generations placed more importance on Winter Solstice than on New Years? or....... Without second-guessing, i jumped out of bed, got dressed, washed up, headed the kitchen.

Everything seemed to work out well in part because we've it all planned out. Took the doughs (glutinous rice flour) out from fridge, pinched off pieces of the dough and rolled it into round balls, dropped the balls into boiling water, cooked them until they floated, placed them into the clear sweet soup. Simple right (having hyperhidrosis doesn't interfere my activities today because my palms didn't sweat at all throughout the morning hours unpredictably! :D )

The roundness of the tang yuan signifies a wholesome, complete family

whoops cute pink babes

Me! me! my name! *havin my hands raised up*

it's in my tummy already

Eating tang yuan also a reminder that we are now one year older, should behave better in the coming year :D

even bee! needs my tang yuan for family reunion XD

Flashback of 2007's....

we extracted juice from XXX leaves to get the lilac colour

looks like they have more sons than daughters.... oops where's their mama?

Dong Zhi is a time for family reunion, like them- all together in a pot =)

Tang yuan stuffed with a paste made from peanut.... yum

Cultural ignorance is shameful. As a Chinese, if you see or hear or smell or sense another Chinese pronouncing "Who is dong zhi" or "Where is dong zhi", just give him a slap without mercy.

Happy Dong Zhi :D

Stop yelling when you know nothing

Sharing is a common practice among us siblings. We share food, books, room, bags, sneakers, clothes, computer, ideas, jokes, opinions, experiences.......... just everything!

Recently our wardrobe is quite untidy that when you open it you may say "wow" to yourself. Of course, we have cardboard box to make our own space and borderlines. Less than 15 minutes, mine is tidied up. It makes no differences anyway, still messy because her clothes are just haphazardly lie on the closet floor. I took out all of her clothes out of the closet, placed them on the bed, refolded each and every piece of the clothing, separated the clothes in piles: 1 for jeans, 1 for short pants, 2 for tank tops, 1 for skirts, 1 for dresses, 1 for scafts......, wiped the closet, *sneezing n coughing like crazy with runny nose and watery eyes because i have dust mite allergy*, replaced the clothes back into the closet, not just neat, but neat and easy-to-reach. As for some stuffs which i have no idea with it, i leave it a small pile on floor; as for the fashion accessories like caps and handbags, i took those which look dusty to the bathroom and hand-washed it. Yeah the closet now looks more tidy and organized, from stuffed to orderly. *give myself a kiss*

It's around 11 o'clock and she's back. She started displaying bad temper when seeing her stuff on the floor and i was the target of that anger. Her scolding really made my blood boil. I wanted to be defensive, but returning anger with more anger will only aggravate her and make the situation worse i know. Calm chen wei calm, u dun wanna argue like an idiot don't u? *swallowed pride, very very bitter pride* >_< I spent more than 2 hours cleaning, sneezed like a train wreck, and this is what i deserved!! Eeeek!!! She got my back up!!!!!!!

Daddy cool

It's one of those day i helped my dad to look after his shop. To spend time more wisely, i brought along the past years papers and started doing. I had my lil sis sitting next to me playing with her beloved sudoku while me myself was busy punching into my calculator.

The jobs of helping include serving customers, asking them if they are looking for a particular item, running the bulb/fluorescent tube test before selling, checking to see if the supplier is bringing the correct item ordered, handling customers service calls, receiving TV sets to be repaired, and of course taking down customers contact numbers. (i'm just a part-time helper)

Oops nearly forget to mention, my dad has been a TV repairer(technician) since 1974, by now he has full of experience. He understands electronics components very well, he's superb in troubleshooting and repairing TV, he has high expertise in resurrecting TV from death. For those who came before, they should probably know how the TVs ranging from big to small queueing like patients for diagnosis and treatment. Dad repairs other types of electrical equipment as well, like audio equipment, iron, rice cooker, monitor......etc. He hires only one staff--- my mom (100% loyal + trustworthy! :D )

the sick and healed TVs

Statement as we know, men are scared of their loss of freedom. They need companionship and friendship with other man. Dad practices common habit like the other men do- yum cha. He meets his friends regularly to discuss tv problems and solutions (most of the time his friends call him for answer when they face problems in TV repair :P) He has schematics diagram in a stack. I flipped through it the other day, n i found that it was all greek to me, electronic engineering is just not my cup of tea.

one of the schematics diagram @.@

Dad is a teacher by both word and example. Along these 18 well-living-years, I only have to look at him to understand the true meaning of perseverance. He doesn't stop when the situation gets tough; he constantly struggles to keep on with his mission. Definitely, we, human battle from the day we are born and fight to survive. From a newborn helpless babe to a grown, independent person. This is all about the will to persevere in the faces of odds :)

Have you ever thought of how would it be like to have your parent(s) as a technician? When your TV suddenly shows fine line and the image comes and goes, help is 24/7 ready; When your mobile phone/mp4/earphone/wall fan/watch/table lamp/DVD player faces problem, you can get it fixed within 24 hours for free. So next day when your TV turns off by itself, bring it here, i'll ask dad to offer a 'friendly-discount' :D

Talking about customers. Some are nice but some are just horrible and need slapping. Let's take this scenario, assuming that a customer sent his TV here and claimed that he wanted it back fast. To make no disappointment, dad worked overnight to 'heal' the TV. The next morning...

Dad:"Hello Mr XXX, ur TV is ok already, u can come take it back anytime."

Customer:"Oh so fast?! ok ok i'll be there this evening."

The customer didn't show up that evening, mom called him again...

Customer:"oh yaya ok i'll be there tomorrow afternoon."

The days turned into weeks and the weeks into months. Still the customer didn't turn up. Then one day....

Customer:"Ello Mr Lee.... i've bought a new one and u can just sell my TV..."

wad the =.= eh uncle, if you dun wan ur TV already tell la, y kept on making empty promises. Look at the moral standard, this city is really going to the dogs. And i'm angry with these type of customer.

There was once dad n mom were away, an aunty came and bought 2 40W philips superlux bulb. After testing the bulbs....

Me:"ok aunty ur total comes to 4.60 ringgit"

Aunty:"cheaper cannot ar? i know ur mom very well one...."

Me:"aunty u're buying 2, not 20, u still want to screw ur price down ar?!" (lol of course i din say that)

- tried to squeeze out a smile instead, "sorry aunty i'm not the boss here"

Aunty:"ur dad knows me wan......4.20 la...cannot ar"

-tried to chill like heard nothing.....looked around the shop and display cases while she was searching for her purse.

- continued smiling, took the RM10 note gently (she was still mumbling), handed her 1 rm5 note and 2 20sen sylings.

Me:"Thank you aunty" *yeay yeay she's leaving!

Got la there's many types of customers: stingy, easily impatient, conceited, cannot be depended upon trustworthy, inconsiderate, likes to flatter people, overtalkative(so-called 38), proud and showy.............. and the list goes on. Customer can be a real pain in the neck. Maybe the customer isn't always right, but loyal customers are particularly valuable, in order to keep them, we gotta swallow pride sometimes, remains the impression of likable and 'fun to deal with'. Dad is a strong man with good tolerance, that's why today the daughter has tons of patience *cough cough* (humble chen wei humble) haha

Dad sets up his own shop here since 1986 and most of the people living here choose to have their TV repaired by him because he's professional and knowledgeable :D Always, customers called with their TV problem, dad asked them a few questions on the phone and made a suggestion to try before he went there for a service call. Guess what? The suggestion worked and the problem solved most of the time. He informed customers the issue and gave them the cost of repair upfront. Because of his prompt and pleased service, dad is quite well-known here in our residential area, and inevitable, his children are about being concerned too.

Aunty X:"oh go go hai Ah Lee ge yii lui..." (canto)
(Translation: oh that's Mr Lee's 2nd daughter)

Aunty Y:"oo dai go lui lo......bla bla bla..........."
(u know wad i mean)

Well the feeling of being watched is like.... 'don't try to misbehave gul, you can get caught anytime'. That's why his children carry on life with the concept 'neighbour-fearing in whatever they do'.

Dad is a loving husband to my mom, and a GREAT father to us, he is just my superhero. If i could pick any guy to be with for the rest of my life, it would have to be outdoor type, intelligent, humorous, caring................................................ make it short, i want someone like my dad!

Thanks dad, for being my mentor and also my dad.

The last day of 1st semester

I think my periodic emotional downers are almost gone; my concentration is back, and my overall mental acuity has made a big leap forward. Guess what, i've regained a blast of good energy! :D

Today's the last day of 1st semester, the first thing that sprung in everybody's mind was to unwind. We went to MidValley Megamall, watched The Day The Earth Stood Still. Compare to Twilight that we've watched 2 days back, i prefer the former rather than the love story between a vampire with a human. My friends were all saying Twilight was awesome but i think it was just okay, it's boring in fact because nothing happens, and i rate this movie 'so so only'. (no offense kawan-kawan :P) I wanted to focus on the vampire stories and histories instead. My doubt in mind was: Is it trying to be a romantic movie? a horror movie? or an action movie? they're all just mixed together, and nothing is obvious what the message actually is. (again, just as i've told, no offense kawan-kawan :P)

Back to the movie TDTESS, some of the visual effects in the movie were jaw dropping, and i like the “cloud” raced across the country part, it gave me a grave sort of “wow they’re all screwed!” feeling. Another case here, Jacob the lil brat likes calling his stepmother Helen by her first name makes the movie more dramatic and lively. Also, Klaatu never states what actually human are doing that causes so much harm to the planet, it's never made clear in the movie and the audience would probably not care about it because of this. The filmmaker is trying to play safe in this regard instead. Well after all the message-the planet is too valuable a commodity to be wasted by human is quite clear depicted. So human, wake up and smell the coffee!


Movie ended, we started casting our opinion. Surprisingly my bestie, sl prefers Twilight rather than this because 'Twilight was qi gik-er' she claimed. Lol... well, the conclusion i would draw is- Different people makes different perception and perspective :)

It was 5pm++ already, we took photos as we saw how beautifully it's decorated for the coming christmas celebration before going home. Thanks to the 'snow'-blowing machine, we had a nice scenery background for photo shooting, of course a lot of fun playing with the 'dandruff' XD

julia and sze yee

classmates^^

*Thanks to Julia who uses her 'simple yet quick' way to clear the 'snow' off our head by blowing harshly on our face. Thx jul we 'appreciate' ur kindness, just STOP IT!!

The grief of losing heong beng

Exams finished. Again, i'm back :D Hmm.... If only you're sitting next to me in class, you'll probably know how discontented i am with my performance in the past trial exam, cuz i'm really an expert in making silly mistakes, and i think it's almost incorrigible. *go bang my head against the wall first*

Talking about exams, i never deny they are useless because it tests student's knowledge and understanding of a particular subject and determines whether the person is qualified to enter the next level or not. You don't want a low skilled doctor to carry out a cardiothoracic surgery or an inexperienced aircraft engineer to sign your plan off as safe-to-fly right? But when it comes to scoring, some people are just too possessive with MARKS. I believe most of you have seen, how students prone to cling to their lecturer like leech just to get any 'sympathy marks' even though they know the probability of getting it is only 0.000000000001. Actually i'm quite impressed to see their 'never give up' quality, but c'mon this is trial exam, why not spend more time on thinking how come you're given so many X in your paper.

Days have been busy for me lately, but let me announce- no more exams till January 09. Wohoo!! It's year-end, everybody's started being delighted when holiday season comes. Let's see...... i have my got-to-do list 1/2 filled now, and i'm still thinking for more.

Pulling the rope back to this morning, uh uh. I brought 2 heong beng to class for brunch...

and i dropped 1 -_-''

Now you see, my pathetic heong beng is lying motionlessly. A drop from 0.7++m height causes it to fall and knock its head and suffer a blood clot on its brain, it gets compression fracture on spine. Studies shown it is expected to undergo prolonged unconsciousness...


11 dec, 11:16:56am, I officially declare Mr Heong Beng is no longer alive... (No~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~) *continuously bashing the table*
I actually felt sorry for wasting food, things turned out better only after i started thinking about DESTINY.

I left campus at around 2++pm, i saw this just outside the entrance of my uni...






Needless to say, they were writing saman. I know you're now thinking why am i so kebo to snap this down. Straight to the point, this is a very good lesson for those who practice illegal parking. They had no way to bribe the man since the busy street had all eyes on them. And it was fun to see the victims taking summon obediently like good citizen XP

Right now, i'm still missing my heong beng...... hope it's at peace now......lol

6-Hours gloominess

It's one of the home alone morning. Big sis was working while lil sis went school for her school activity. Final LAN subjects exam is coming next, so I decided to be a good girl, started flipping through the lecture notes, looking for where should i start. Read 1 page....2 pages...3 pages....4.....5...... finally i dozed off. You know, when you're jaded, you can hardly resist the temptation of cuddling your head into your arms. It's soooooooooooo awesome that feels like it should go on forever XD

Then, i started hearing my mobile phone ringing. I reached my phone. I saw wad i expected to see- lil sis was calling. "ok time to fetch her back". For the recent days, you can just set the watch and see the rain falls at the same time everyday. On the way driving back home, the sky was already dark, as soon as i reached home, it was already pouring outside. I sighed with my mood going down, "Here comes the rain again..." I woke up on every cloudy day, secretly hoping for sunshine, but most of the time it disappoints me. Until now, the rain is still pounding on the tin roof... =.=

6 hours back, i was feeling really bad, depressed and helpless, together with my lil sis because we have done something which has annoyed our big sis. Needless to say we have been the recipents of silent treatment and the period of being in the doghouse was really killing us. We went through sadness by keeping each other company and comforting each other saying that we act according to our conscience, everything would turn out fine soon. We owe her an apology for snagging part of her plan. Sorry :'(

(Pingu - her favourite Swiss animated television series)

The sadness started going away only when she broke the silence and started talking to us. It feels like a 50kg heavy blanket is being lifted from our shoulders. Thank God the sisters band is reconnected.

the Lee's sisters're back! ^^

Yes just to mention this very fast, i'm a very family person, always put my family before myself. To my dear dad, mum and bro who are currently having vacation in China, hope u all are having really lots of fun over there ^^ (i think they are now in Foshan)

A brief of crucial period

It's quiet around here, crickets are playing their swooning song of night right outside, and i'm not wanting to shut my eyes yet because this is the best time to spend time being reflective, look inward, and rearrange the clutter in my mind.

No doubt, the secret of exam preparation is to revise effectively and as early as possible. So spending more time on books is wad i've been doing lately as i'm going to have my big exam in jan 09, which is 1++ month.... yea not so long to go now, and this is why i'm feeling a pretty tense and overwhelmed lately. I stick myself to chair, go on reading while sipping a cup of aloe vera juice, talk about books and dreams about answers, suspend pleasure orientated activities, forget about going for my favourite horror movie, cancel my friends' invitation for sing K session...... WAIT!! I broke my daily work-out routine! Having low level of activity, spending time in claustrophobic room--- this sounds more like i'm leading a sedentary lifestyle?! No no i'm not gonna continue life like this, this is absolutely not me!

Well instead of word-pressing, i would like to summarize it all down into sketchings:

this is me and my Brain

I feed Him 'nutritious essence' almost everyday for more than 6 hours...

i want maximum assimilation to be achieved, , so that He can perform successfully on exam days

I brought Him to the gym as well to undergo intensive training....

Trial exam is over, His performance was quite satisfying, but He's a lil bit quiet than usual. And I knew something was wrong

Beneath the surface, he's actually having battles with unpleasant stuff. Everything comes together, and i don't think He can endure all by Himself

I took Him to see doctor, and that's the only advice. To curb the situation, i think i should maybe use distilled water as relaxation buffer instead of using the so-called 'essence'.

He's recuperating nowadays...

*the end*

On the other hand...

Inner Voice: Lift ur butt off the chairs start from today! You better resume the workout routine where you left off!

Me: ok ok

Cool or Fool

Most telling, it's foolish to think appearances don't matter at all. And I believe that everybody takes time standing in front of the mirror and puts in effort to make the best appearance possible for their own self. Guys spike up their hair; Ladies put on their nicest outfit before stepping outside their door, so that no one ever had to tell them there's spinach in their teeth or there's hair out of place. Because everybody knows, in this materialistic world people tend to judge a book by its cover, and that's why we can still see the phenomena- good looking people earn more attention and favorable impression.

Talking about hair styling, there was once my lil bro walked up to me uninvited and asked for help to style his hair, i took the comb, regularly combed and brushed his hair, then i was like...... paused, thinking "wad should i do next". I tried to reminisce hairstyles of some of the male friends in class and thought that i could refer theirs then do it on my bro, but to no avail. I've disappointed him that evening. Until today, i'm very curious to know how guys style their hair to make it look that way(neat yet stylish :P) even if their hair is only4-5cm short.

During previous schooldays, i saw a lot of young men with bald heads. My first reaction was "Wad happened dude". I don't really understand why a guy who could potentially have a nice head of hair shaves it bald, as they are not in the military, no cancer, or a psycho. Why?????????????????????????????

50 marks deduction

Not me alone, my friends too find it uncomfortable dealing with bald young men, and the guy would be labelled ''FAIL" after that. (guys it's just the truth of my perception, no offence :P)

Ok back to girls. Would mention only 1, not gonna betray my gender :P Hmm..... Let's just take 1- the toilet outside the cinema. Have you ever notice that whenever a show ends, the walkway outside the toilet would be crowded by men, waiting patiently for their beloved- bf waits for gf, husband waits for wife, father waits for daughters....etc.

our Gentlemen

And at the same time, girls in the toilet are stretching and removing wrinkles on their clothes, brushing hair with bare hands, reapplying foundation, checking if their fringe is out of place....... everything's about maintenance. And trust me, girls want to walk beside you always with their finest attire. So guys, pardon girls if they make you wait XD

This is human nature, they tend to leave their brain at home

Yes i've seen some very good-looking guys, but they are pure trash on the inside! and again we labelled them "FAIL". The situation is more or less like...
First impression - "I think he's cool...";
After working together - "I think he's actually a fool..."

Lol, won't comment much on it. the moral of the story is, Bring your brain along wherever you go.

A message to my Left Brain --- All the best

Underneath the cover

End of year, students are already in holiday mood. School off, tuition classes stop, everybody wants to unwind after months of hard work (fellow of spm candidate dun worry, your hard days are numbered, you'll be free from jail soon)

Well i gotta say that having siblings is good. At home, they fight, they make noise, they laugh out loud, they even make fun in toilet. To deal with period of under pressure, joining them can really take a lil load off my mind, to see what new height of madness we can reach as well. And right behind me now, they(elder and younger sis) are having non-stop conversation on Pet Society

*getting a pindrop silence is almost impossible...

Hmm... I believe most of you people are not the only son or the only daughter at home. And according to my personal research, these are the advantages disadvantages of having siblings :P

Disadvantages:
- sharing rooms (everybody needs privacy)
- sharing computer
- siblings fight (laziness/irresponsibility is always the root for quarrel)
- the oldest has to be best at everything (here comes the undue stress)
- the youngest gets away with EVERYTHING (this is unfair!)

Advantages:
- sharing room (we need them mostly after watching horror movie XD)
- siblings fight (we enjoy the rivalry sometimes actually =P)
- the oldest holds all the cards when it comes to quarrel
- sharing secrets (dun tell papa ok)
- naturally trained into being 'fierce' (you fight back when you know somebody's trying to bully or take advantage from you)
- you learn from the elders (they have decades of experience)
- assistance for studies (how to do tis? use which formula? wad is diksi?)
- sharing clothes (can u lend me a formal outfit next fri?)
- 'trip' at the spur of the moment (it's boring let's head for xxxx--- reach the car key- Zooooom......[gone])
- dividing up household chores (x handle the dishes, y wipe table)
- siblings know us very well (especially ur bad habit XD)
- bored? NEVER (u are not alone)

So it's obvious- Siblings make the world a better place to live in =)

Back to this afternoon after lunch, my bro thrust me the 'The One Academy- International CG & Digital Art Showcase'. He didn't speak, looking at me his another hand feeding himself a giant piece of pineapple. He was trying to tell me--- Here, u should like this. (yes it's one of those kind of book i'm dying to read)

(see, they love you, they understand you, they try to get wadever u like, just to bring you happy; and in turn i've promised myself to be GOOD all time possible as a repay to love them)

*never judge a book by it's cover :P

Ok make it simple, this book encompasses collections of brilliant achievements and art masterpieces of a number of digital artists, ranging from digital animation, gaming, computer graphic and multimedia design. After flipping through it, i've struck a deal with myself- I MUST READ YOU!


*Minutes after...


Having my legs folded on the couch, reading eagerly, allowing my eyes feed on 'nutrients' from the stack of cool illustrations. And i would like to conclude that each and every piece of the art is really a "WHOAH!" and they are too good to be shared. Like usual, i'm prone to thoughts of: no matter how well a person can draw manually without involvement of digital technologies, it's all a big fat zero in the end. And i'm a lil bit upset for knowing not much about digital art.

Resting on my laps was the book, charming me with the spell "Peace retained, Read me again..." The spell tended to play its trick but in vain, due to the fact that i was so drained
The Spell never want to give up, tried again again and again to manipulate me, until............

* took my 45 mins nap...

yawn~~~

I caught a glimpse of the floor, the orange colour book was there lying numbly, motionlessly, dispiritedly. (fainted from exhaustion XD)

The book is undoubtedly worth a read, though the orange colour book cover is not eye-catching. After all the originality of the masterpieces are so beautiful, so breathtaking.

Insecurities? Manipulate me if you can

It's been a hectic time over the last while which explains the large gap since my last posting. And the theme i would like to label for the past few weeks - Restless. Lecturers were cruising at a speed of 110km/h, storm of assignment struck, task and presentation were knocking just outside the door, trial is coming up, stress stretches me so thinly, aah i can hardly take a breather.

Everybody's wrapped up in studies, running at our top speed. Those who used to be incredibly chatty are a lil bit quiet lately, the class is no longer agile. Bearing undue stress, fought through the attempt to take things for granted. my desk is neat but my mind is cluttered. There's still a number locks in my head that need to be unleashed. Extra facts lags my brain, making me difficult to assimilate lessons which has been taught.

What's more, i lost my 40% hearing for no reason. In class, thrusting my ears to listen like a deaf old lady is a must-to-do everyday. Or i would just end up "Pardon?" and the speaker needed to repeat her remarks again.


There was once i was doing practices, the class was so peaceful. Having stereoscopic vision enables me to detect any small movement of surroundings. On my left hand side- mw was spending time pouring over notes searching for solutions; on my right hand side sl(ma' close fren) was facing to the back explaining something to julia; and in front of me sujata was playing with his fren's pocket whereas our 'beloved' lecturer Mr Tai was working with his laptop, mumbling to himself. The environment was so calm, only the sound of air cond blowing.

The moment i moved on to the next question, sl finished dealing with the explanation, she turned back, adjusted her seat and whispered:" You've just ignored a person who has called ur name for more than 3 times." (sorry again julia i was half-deaf, cant hear u) So for the past few weeks, sl was the third ear of mine, helped me to listen IF i've missed out anything. And for no reason, my hearing is restored unknowingly. Thank god i need not use the phrase "speak louder" anymore.

It's the 1st day of trial today. 8:15am, i thought i was an early bird. Ascent the main stairs, wow the lobby was crowded. Most of them sere still having their notes in hand. Met my classmates, took 20 minutes pleasant talk. Exam kicked off at 9am sharp.

tick tock tick tock....

"Percentage purity= x(pure)/ y(impure) x 100%" This is the last phrase of my report. Handed up my paper, left the lab, answered the call of nature (before urinary leakage takes place due to bladder pressure exceeds urethral pressure)

Having my introspective department to recall everything.

Ok it's time for my body fragments to speak again:-
Introspective Department: Studies shown, 1 calculation is done wrongly! Right hand, it's ur fault. Care to clarify?

Right Hand: I have done nothing wrong! I was just obeying Arm Muscle's order.

Left Brain: ...........

Arm Muscle: Wad la u! Dun simply accuse wei. Nerve Impulse directed me to move that way.

Left Brain: ...........

Nerve Impulse: Wasn't me!! I was just doing my 'receive and transfer' job perfectly (pointing at left brain) He sent me wrong electrical signals.

Introspective Department: Madam, it's Left Brain's fault then. He gave wrong interpretation.

Left Brain: Sorry i was a lil bit panic just now....

Everybody: How could you!...

Logical Department: Quiet~!(bringing the hammer down) Plz listen to me. Careless Syndrome escaped from cage successfully this morning. He might have attacked Left Brain unknowingly.

Me: CW military troops! Start implementing curfew, enforce security policies anywhere anytime especially along cerebrum. He might be hiding in between the left n right hemisphere. Arrest him by today!

CW Military Troops: Yes madam! (gone)

Left Brain: Sorry..

Me: Mistakes are made to learn from. Chill babe

Yes i'm not interested at all in maintaining this feud- Carelessness, and i'm still doing research and practice on how to cure such syndrome. Somebody, smack me please. Slap away this syndrome.

Aiks things are not to my liking, and some are just really intimidating. My drawings are ruined, my wishes are partly snagged, the odds are against me, so what? I have still a huge surge of personal energy to play with. Hohoo! Slide along, i'm not taking breaks!

When greed arises

I was having my dinner late after 7pm. Mom came over with her remarks which surprised me.

"WHAT?!?!!" i sounded.

After having a brief conversation, the tiny detail are more or less lined up, and we got the puzzle matched finally.

K here's the story:

*read this before continuing--- My dad is a TV repair technician. He owns a shop which offers his skillful technical service. Anything seems to be the problem? Just send your TV, iron, rice cooker, monitor, table lamp, school project.......etc here. His shop= my house. So i can probably know what's going on, which are the problematic customers, when would the so-called aunty come n talk non-stop, n who's the uncle who always come to my house n smoke like a chimney!

1.5 month back, a remote control of dad's customer disappeared mysteriously

'twink'........ GONE!

and the mission of 'Finding Remote Control' was implemented. In short we ransacked the whole shop, relocated the TVs from east to west just to find the gray colour rectangular thingy. However the result was disappointing, the remote control was really missing! Dad and mum started to fret, but they knew fretting about it wouldn't help. They had came out to a solution- compensate by buying a new one.

Dealing with this kind of circumstances is not easy. You need to go down town, get the exact Samsung electronic device, call your customer, tell him wad happened. It would certainly bring wrath upon customer. As i know, the customer's daughter refused to accept the apology at first, things turned out better only after a lot of persuasion. The incident should have had left a bad taste in their mouth, guess that would be their first and last time sending their TV here....sigh~

Fast forward 1.5 month later, the remote control emerged unknowingly on our shop's display case.

'twink'..... BACK!

With the help of logical thinking, this 'man' (shouldn't be a woman rite) took the remote control away and found that it doesn't fit his TV at home. After struggling for about 45 days, only he decided to bring it back here. So foolish. He might think that: I'm not wicked cuz i've returned it, this is not imputable. And this is the only way to suppress his conscience. Duh

Dear 'man', you have maybe forgotten what your mama taught you...
She taught you to remember the emergency phone numbers, not to believe strangers, how to love and to care for one another AND--- Taking without permission is STEALING! Hmm.... Let's see.... Fingerprints are useful in tracing offender.... There it goes the scenes of professional workers working with forensic science, playing with the fingerprints scanner.... everything's mapped out in ma' mind....how sophisticated technology we have now..... K just forget about it. 'He's' pardoned, dad's really a saint, and i'm waiting karma to teach him a lesson.

ahh so dizzy..... hit the hay

Rain rain go away

It's one of those perfectly awesome cold and frosty morning for sleeping, too bad it's a thursday morning.......checked my clock, 6:35am it read....zzz dozed....




My conscience:" Wake up!"

My mind:" Er...ok..."
.
.
.
.
.
3 minutes silence.......
.
.
.
.
.
.
My conscience:" Hey wake up!"

My mind:" I know! i'm awake but the organs are still sleeping!!"

My conscience:" No excuse! Get up!"

My mind:" How many times do i need to tell you, i'm doing only a part of the biological clock transaction! It aint't under me alone idiot!"

My conscience :"You think u're smart don't cha? You better tone down..."




There it goes the wrangle between the Mind n Conscience... n the savior comes eventually




My body:" Okok i'm getting up, u both can shut up right now"




So I get myself out of bed, fold my blanket in a half-conscious state with eyes closed to enjoy the last few seconds of nice sleep.

Talking about Bed-- People find that having many pillows on bed is comfy n of course it's for hugging purpose at night; If only u can see my bed, there would be only 1 pillow and 1 blanket, no extra's. n i used to leave the Snoopy on my sis's bed (a birthday gift, sorry cousin, i don't use bolster) To me, having more than 1 pillow is already suffocating!

Exposing myself to the bright fluorescent light, having hard time opening my eyes as they are trying to adjust the light levels inside by contracting sphincter muscle. (ok ok.. take ur time Mr. Schincter, u r free to contract)

After having a set of getting ready, the extra good energy comes from within puts me i'm in such a bright mood with sunny clouds developing upon me. What a good day! :D Lace up my sneakers, it's time to have some breakfast.

I peered into the kitchen, nobody's there (mom went market) N i saw this:



* The Black Bean Whole Grains Meal consists of black bean, wild rice, sword bean, gingko nut, pumpkin seed, wheat grass, buck's wheat, black sesame, white sesame,.......................wadever bean wadever sesame. Make it simple-- Rich in dietary fiber, calcium, vitamin E, iron n anthocyanins(wad's this??). Make it even shorter la-- Good for health! :D

Yes Mummy loves us, n you can see her consciousness about healthy eating. She applied the 1st basic rules in kitchen- control the use of oil while cooking. Oil makes food tastier in fact, but it creates only short lived satisfaction. Take into account at the same time, health leads to something more permanent =)

Ok back to the black bean meal. The direction is noted: Brew in boiling water. Instead of using boiling H2O, i use boiling soy milk which improves the flavor :P

Pour the hot soy milk into a bowl, brew it. Stir gently.. Taa-daa~!!



See the yellow yellow biji? It's white sesame. n the dark dark biji should be the so-called main character Black Bean.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~!!

Burp~~ (excuse me..)

It tastes more or less like porridge with crushed bean. It's nutritious and healthy food that tastes good. Honor yourself for the healthy choice, choose--- Black Bean Whole Grains Meal! =D

Ok time for school~!
Wad a wonderful and misty morning! Reached the key, got in the car, started engine. I used to take the tree-lined hill road instead of busy main road. Driving through green woods and mist. Took a look at my left hand side, Alam Damai was covered in mist, it looked really 'damai'... lol
Ma' campus is near to my house, so no worries can drive slowslow. I used to park my car (not mine la, dad's car XD ) outside campus, so to make sure there's parking spaces, depart from home 30 minutes earlier is a Must. Having extra 20 minutes before class started, i decided to stay inside car listen to JJ & Rudy hitz.fm morning crew instead of waiting doing nothing in class

"Tomorrow's thursday? hai~~" "not again...." "why so fast..." many such remarks and vocal mourning can be heard on wed or thurs itself. Yes nobody likes thursday apparently. And since LAN class has been canceled that day, we called it a day! whoo-hoo~!!

Huh it was pouring already outside and i didn't bring ma' umbrella. Ran to my car, ended up soaked through. The rain fell down, washed away the stuffy, dusty, filthy, city air. The sky was dark, only the sounds of thunder disturbed the city. It brought refreshing breeze. But I would like to say tat i don't like raining because heavy rain brings heavy mood for no reason.



Wondering why i was so free sitting inside car snapping and playing with mobile phone? Good question. That was because a car on my right hand side was double parked and i was prevented from departing. There was nothin else i could do. Looking out the windscreen, listening the rain pounded on car roof, letting my mind wanders, imagining who's the irresponsible driver..........

would it be A...B.......C......or E? how bout G?

or maybe this! lol
* for those who bring kids along, i would probably pardon them, for instance H; The rest--- no! u got my goat.
oh ya the last wan is exceptional as well (yes i'm bias XP)

20 minutes passed-- no changes, i was still blocked. Thanks to BGB5525 in front of me that departed 5 minutes later, only i could escape. But i could never see the double-parked car's owner's face!

To those who love practicing double parking, please keep an eye on ur car while doing your banking stuff, eating, da-pao-ing or wad. Your car is not only blocking our original, legally parked car, you're blocking part of the street making it highly congested too!

The non-human living beings

20 minutes ago i wanted to be a good girl and finish my report. Now, the page is still blank and i can't get a move on. The incident yesterday is still roiling through my mind, and it's stabbing me with guilt.

I was driving home in the afternoon, not long after leaving Merawan Alam Damai heading for the last traffic light b4 reaching my house, i drove my 1400kg car over a dead doggy, n the doggy experienced second-time-drove-over. The car was rocked quite a bit and i could feel the front left wheel went over something 'quite hard'... it should be the doggy's head... (sorry i know it's ruthless! >.<) I was completely numbed and saddened by wad happened. A voice from no-where "what have you done?!" came even stronger than the song 'fall for you' by Secondhand Serenade played on hitz.fm. I did noticed there's 'something' on the road from 50m away actually, and i thought it was a map or bag simply dumped by people. Just the moment before driving over the 'thing', i realized it's a Dog.

As i reached home, i talked nothing n handed the car key back to my dad then walked upstairs. I kept on apologizing in my heart cuz there was nothing else i could do. Sorry.... God bless the doggy please...

Over the last few months, the population of stray cats roaming around our double storey shoplots is growing. Among the stray kitties, the only one which visits my house most often is him-- Yellojii (don't ask me y tis name)

Cats meow to get wad they wan- food, attention, affection. The moment i open the folding door every morning , he's already there staring with his big, luminous eyes (hey gorgeous, good morning~ :P)

If we have an amount of food left after meals, we'll just top up the food dish outside our shop. There was once we had nothing to give him. He meowed excessively to start demanding for more attention. As the saying goes-- Ignore them, they'll leave. (it's applicable in situation of meeting 'those' thing too, ignore them! or maybe fight back using foul words XP)

After washing the dishes and getting ready to run upstairs for shower, to my surprise he was still there with his legs buckled. By glancing at him, i had hard time ignoring his vocal blackmail. I let myself sneaked back into the kitchen, tried to see if there's anything for him, ikan bilis, prawn cracker, fish flavored cracker..... (no kidding tis fella loves Double Decker Pranky Prawn) The food cabinet was foraged again and again, aiy crackers were out of stock! I checked the last tupperware, n i found the last and only dau sha beng. I brought it our without further consideration.

I knelt down n gently touched his head.

"Here puss, this is all i have."

To my surprise, he ate it. Grind grinds grind...... 1st bite..... 2nd bite...... What?!?! Don't want already?!!?!?!?

I tried to place the dau sha beng right in front of his mouth (too lazy to move his neck maybe)...

n tis is how he treated me.... =.=''














Knowing that he would never want my dau sha pau anymore, i gave up dealing with tis choosy kitty.

*me : sui zai bau, ignorance in appreciating nice food..
*yellojii : where on earth u get tat... Eeewww!!...........


Here's some flashback spending time with tis kitty...

* his 'kai ma'- the grocery shop aunty

*present to u-- his masterpiece

* nice to see, nice to hold

*** this is his elder brother, quite greyish in colour

Beats me why parents in malaysia feed their children disinformation like animals are dirty, they hav disease.....bla bla bla..... and tis info is passed on to the next n next generation. This is why animals in m'sia get not much love. Also, the roadkill cases go unreported and worse still. A person in malaysia will be sentenced to a three-days jail n RM200 fine for animal abuse, n tis is too linient!

Animals are living beings, not inanimate object. They deserve the respect we demand for ourselves. Animals do not enjoy wearing clothes, nor it's not necessary for them 2 wear it, they do not enjoy hair/fur dyeing as well. Plz la human, if u want to offer protection, why not do more on making 'protective clothes' for our Earth which is exposed to global warming threat.

Animals are not made to be enslaved. Try spend time around a dog or a cat (rat or lizard maybe :P) u will find that these animals can feel sadness, love, pain, fear n other emotions. They are intelligent individuals.

* dear animals: plz be careful while crossing roads (look left look right, use traffic lights or overhead bridge) I believe ur children would not want to see their papa or mama with head smashed lying on the road
