Visa

2010-08-21T00:37:00.004+08:00

I'm done with my visa finally! But the major discovery is- I thought i'm mentally prepared for meeting people culturally different from me all this while, but i found that i'm actually not-really ready yet. 3 days back i was in the High Commission of India where this place was flooded by indians and such scene made the thought i was already in india -.- Like a lost duckling i searched for notice board, well they were all in tamil and i couldn't read any of it!

-the lost duckling-

No way they must hav got something for us non-indian! :O

*didn't give up casting my sight from walls to walls, spotted one written in english at last, studied through*

Ok now i nid to get to the 2nd counter...

While making my way through the crowd to reach the point where i was supposed to be, i found myself being stared like an utter outsider by some unfriendly and unfamiliar faces (not that they weren't friendly, they just looked freaking serious) There were two fair-skinned in-my-age boy and girl in the sea of people waiting helplessly to be attended too, they couldn't hide their anxiousness towards disorganization of the staff's filing system (like me) thus raising questions for reassurance was the only securance measure they could take (i know it might be irritating for staffs, but we had the rights to get well-informed, and as long as we felt better, who cares :P )

I then headed to india visa centers and it was greta seeing our documents being handled in a better manner, neat and coordinated at least (though received awkward stares while walking across the hall too, that doesn't feel good, at all) It took quite some time before i directed myself to the counter.

There was this indian lady in her late 50's, kind and approachable, joined the crowd and sat down. Not more than 5 minutes after composing herself, the punjabi man next to her initiated conversation about traveling and both of them started telling their stories. This lady sounded like...... "i'm going to A..... then B........ then C then finally D" A man sitting two chairs away broke his silence right after hearing such complication then gave opinion on alternative simple flight route. Wasn't only the man suggesting, folks around the old lady politely spoke and shared wise advice too. (Do comparison: Do we chinese make sound when finding out the others are in trouble? NAH! Chinese all kiamsiap-kiamsiap belaka, they don't give a shit about your problem) While enjoying hearing conversations, i got to know that the man who'd been sharing helpful tips is an MBBS degree holder and used to travel there once a week, he has his own driver somemore in india! (wow) Mind you i wasn't eavesdropping, the office was as silent as the grave. Isn't only doctor, he's a very kind doctor! :D he's going to offer help on transport and accommodation for the lady. Chinese? u wan to die? go ahead and die! I'm not betraying my own race.... i'm just telling what i see, no hard feelings ;) So i handed in my documents but this ain't the end of the story 'cz i still had to come this place again for collection, which is the last step of the procedures :D

The next day evening, i stepped in... "P'tang encik, nak collect visa ni" Upon learning that i needed to wait for an hour, i got myself a seat then dozed off. Moments later i was already in the line claiming my passport, like everyone else, i breathed a sigh of relief. fuuuuhhhhhhhhh! With a subtle smile of satisfaction, i left the building.

*Ok off to the bathroom! i haven't brush n floss my teeth yet -.- *

Not Your People-Pleaser

2010-08-17T17:42:00.003+08:00

Looks like my current life has been constrained by habit to sleep and wake up early. It sounds rather depressing somehow i find no excuse to laze on the bed and at least i've got more things done even with two or more morning hours. It felt pretty weird back then in the morning that i needn't do the routine set of getting-ready and go to work instead i can have my messy curly hair haphazardly twisted-pinned-up, loose T and running shorts---yes i'm not going out from this house for the rest of the day! wheeeeee~

Not more than 1 month time i will b leaving for the decision i've made. Upon reading the related documents thoroughly, realness woke me up at the same time complication hit my state of mind :s No doubt bits of excitement is always there but trace of bitterness is inevitable 'cz there's still something hanging over...

I seldom speak everything of my mind 'cz i don't see the necessity. Unlike any other people especially gurls, i don't like expressing (bragging) how-superior-my-job/task/course/life is nor parading toughness-and-stickyness-of-my-current-position as to subsequently fish for compliment or to induce someone to mercy-shower me *rolling eyes* Even worse is, people of the surrounding tend to be even stupidier to slip along and fulfill the subject's satisfaction *violently rolling eyes* C'mon why bother spending time pleasing these kind of people as so many victims of qinghai out there are now so in need of your concern and love. Get smarter, throw them shit, not fish!

Sunday Morning

2010-07-06T22:03:00.003+08:00

How do I define a pleasant morning? In past a pleasant morning enabled me to laze in the bed having myself wrapped in the blanket and witness how morning sunlight penetrates through the curtain at its graceful pace then brightens the floor of my room, and if i wanted to i could just close my eyes after that and continue my sleeping.

Until one sunday morning i changed my thought- A pleasant morning is more than counting teddy bears printed on my curtains. Passing by streets of exiting my residential area in the early morning hour, fresh grasses were stretching their back beneath tall standing trees, houses were sleeping while nesting all tired city folks, not to miss out fluffy cotton-white cloud that lingerd around the soulful bright and blue sky. Came across some stalls where early birds were having street food, it was delightful seeing kids with their parents, babies in baby's high chair hitting on the tray, teenagers having arms supporting their sleepy-heavy-whacky head. The heavy doze of family-day atmosphere mercilessly flooded me.

Of all the good times i've missed out, i want the sunday-mornings back.

An unexpected morning

2010-06-09T10:06:00.005+08:00

Before you realize it, this school holidays is going to wave us goodbye (i know it has nothing to do with Us) and with another 1.5 week, the sixth month of this year of Tiger is about to come to an end. Having almost all my time gobbled up by my current part-time (yet seemingly full-time) job, i hardly see or make time out for any of the sister's/buddies outing, adding that i seldom update my profile picture on fb, those who haven't see my for this while might have asked how do i look in present. Well, i'm sure that some of the people love giving this kind of answer "Two eyes, two ears, two nostrils..." listing out all the common physical features, favorably starting from those which exist in pairs, unless u're telling how much hair you've plucked to shape your eyebrown, how much longer ur hair has grown in exact millimeter, then ur creative! Anyway not much difference here, just had another hair cut the other day.

Flowing with agenda of today, it was quite a "wow" this morning that not more than 40 minutes spent, i'm done with the procedures of renewing my NRIC and i managed to get home far more earlier, while i thought it would take away my entire morning waiting with all the 12-years old schoolboys schoolgirls (school holidays ma, all free-free come out buat IC la) Surprised, i now have more spare time on 9th june in my personal invisible appointment book :D Notably, the female staff was so amicable to show and ask if i'm satisfied with the new photo taken (thanks for the offer, a Star for u) "Ok" then i sounded, even i didn't think so, cz i knew that any other shoot would definitely give the same results cz it's MORNING hour, puffy baggy eyes is inevitble!

Keeping the printer dormant almost all these while, scanning over 40+ certificates made myself a pair of dust-glove. Alright i should get on with my online application for XxxX scholarship. Kindly forgive absence of my drawings on this site, u can put the blame on my idleness.

Check your colour

2010-05-25T22:00:00.004+08:00

"I think it would look better in _________ (colour)" I just found myself love sounding like this lately whenever i felt things are not right, as in colour matching.

Last week when me n my colleague Jon playfully flipped through a dental operatories brochure till a cool orange-themed dental chair caught our eyes but further studying didn't impress us much cz the bracket-table (for dentist) isn't big enough, bracket-table (for dental assistant) doesn't look supportive as if it can be easily broken when doing some mixing which needs pressure, the restback looked thin, so probably would be hard like stone and the most important reason that i rated it Fail- the restback is in brownish-orange colour, which actually makes patients (and me) think it's old. Maybe the dental chair manufacturer loves orange? But i think the restback would definitely look great in limegreen.

Last friday lil sister n dad came back from blood donation drive n got towel as gift, one in orange and another in blue. Wouldn't comment much about blue but now look at this orange, so pale, like patient, and i started to think: Is it bcz there's only fabric of these two colour left? or this is their 'taste'? And i told them it would look awesome in carnation pink.

Three days back, i saw a new container in mom's lap and i told my lil sister persian rose pink suits it better.

Yes i'm picky than ever when talking about Colour. That's why i've hated my dark-blue-sports-T throughout my five secondary school years.

Colour- like personality, it comes in a huge bag, but not all suit you.

Jogger

2010-05-11T22:07:00.005+08:00

Chiropractor- i need one here. The sharp ache stroke like lightning in my back almost everytime i turned to fasten ma seat belt or to apply force to the clutch b4 shifting it to the next gear *ouch!* ok maybe i spent too much time hunching during work. Seriously i'm like an old lady recently.... adding on, i seldom workout nowadays =.= Eeew i hate this stout feeling of being a calorie bank storing all the unnecessary energy. Obviously i need to go for a jog so that i could clear all the debris off my head otherwise i'll incline to take all the negative stuff in.

Jogging has been long misunderstood as a lonely activity cz from most of the view ppl only see a moving model running like a machine setting their own pace performing the same exact movements throughout the process, they see joggers running, but they don't see the 'inner running' in joggers. Ain't physical alone, jogging coats a jogger with mental n spiritual benefits. As they run, a lot of thoughts r running in their head too, at the same speed of how joggers bring themselves while clearing their way to bigger insight, together with the alone time from which joggers indulge most of their sense. With all the junky dirt discarded at the end of the process, a new mind is reborned under the warmest glazing sun and pleasant smell of greeneries,this is where self esteem originates and this is why i said joggers are never alone.

I think a lot, but sometimes i think too much. Don't understand? Here.

Of all the diseases, which is the most dreadful for u?

There's so much of the pictures run through ma mind but i jz couldn't pick one cz on the other side i started thinking about this scene of my right arm..... black dots can be seen from far. Close up, they're coming out from each n every single of the skin pore, there's motion too! Zoom in more, you're seeing a field of tiny sea-shell-like creatures with glossy-black exoskeleton opening and closing their cover rapidly on ur skin. These black crispy shells can be easily brushed off, ,leaving most of the broken pieces sticking to the hand that you jz used to brush 'em. This ain't the end of the story. Give it to the closest zoom again on your skin, the shell-like creatures start growing again, bigger and BIGGERRRRR..... Yerh cukUp! I've got goosebumps all over me!! darn geli larh X[ *brushing arms excessively as if they r now growing* Don't ask me what disease is this! I DON'T KNOW! *still brushing disgustedly*

Yes i think a lot.

The future's not ours, to see

2010-04-29T22:04:00.005+08:00

I'm sick, i mean, my heart is sick, this is an unpleasant emotion. I can hardly get entertained eventhough she was like trying to be funny to retain her usual happy-go-lucky mode.... Tell me about it, she was just faking it all. She's doing something isolatedly different among us, she's under lotsa pressure, she's gotta go all the way down on her own, without sufficient guides from her siblings. It's tough, cz she barely finds clue from us, as we are hintless literally :( I sincerely hope that she'll be endowed with good luck. All the best Lima!

Was sorry and a lil grumpy along when being acknowledged that Hungery's fb, msn and hotmail accounts got hacked again, all at once. Guess she had a bad night yesterday. Grow up and get a life hackers! *ZAP!!*

*In case there's some question marks start developing over ur head, here i'm gonna clear it all. "Lima" is my fav way of referring to my lil sis,which had gone through numbers of evolutions, IINM, as for "Hungery", it's a very recent nickname given to ma older sis. Yep we hav a lot of stoopid and unexplainable family language among ourselves. Not you, not any others fellow, only Siblings are allowed to insult me! :P Needless to say, my love to my siblings is undescribable*

Things went well until this monrning... It's supposed to be a dream of 5 person, but the future's really not ours to see :0 like how it's been sung in this popular song Que Sera Sera

What i've been up to

2010-04-28T21:50:00.002+08:00

:P and :S are the emoticons that best describe my situation now. *KNOCK!* It's not that i'm playful and being disgusted at the same time! Think better! sticking out tongue + irritated. I got my tongue burned when having dinner couple of hours ago and it's currently numbed, as if having a layer of 3-minutes super glue on it, this doesn't feel good at all!

Seeing that april of this year is about to end, i'm gonna let this term 'Packed' set in to express my past hecticness. Besides being tied up with an Art project, i've gone through some of the most exciting moments in the process of getting ma admittance to XXX college approved, though was still a lil nervous while being interviewed back then.... dun care! what's more important now is the outcome! :D But guess what, the most heartaching part recently is the moment of some mornings when i got up b4 work and this thought of 'your days is numbered' lurked around ma mind.... Thinking about the opportunity of broadened exposure, i felt glad of course, but sadly without my loved one :[ What's next? it's gonna be all the process of getting NOC, student visa....etc.

Thinking back the session before interview when i was in a room, with a number of applicants from different states and different races, sitting around an oval wood table, with most of the heads down, staring aimlessly at their nails, some having crossed arms (for guys it looked totally fine as they succeed displaying their coolness, as for gurls...... what shd i say.... the sense of streangtening the wall of ice came more stronger than any other purposes) Wasn't nervous at all, i looked outside the window, took a glimpse under the table, looked outside the window again... Oh the blazing sun is shining proudly outside.... oh poor ppl ur under it... ok stop, i'm not going to keep turning my neck for all these only... do something! The scent of awkwardness was getting thicker and thicker... Omg this is freaking uncomfortable!! Somebody broke the dreadful silence out of the sudden fulfilling my silent request, seeing his initiative, another guy joined, so was i, so the chain of talks begun, there were some awkward pause, still, but for sure far more better than the utterly-weird period before that. Back then, was fated to be in the room and had a brief, fun conversation with these particular future doctors and dentists. The day was cool.

Chromic Gut 3/0

2010-04-07T21:20:00.004+08:00

I miss the days where i can have my head resting on my folding arms at my study table, doing revision (as if i'm willing to) trying my best to finish 3 chapters in a day (cz test is around the corner), blending brain juice for merely a single maths ques......... Ok i admit, i miss the times of being a Student so badly :0

Time past very fast today, not sure why was it so..... should b the way we took turns to assist i guess. Today was cool 'cz another lil surgical tooth extraction coloured our day as I was able to work alongside the doctor while suturing! :D You know, it's your pleasure to be trusted and given opportunity to learn! :D :D So i was asked to prepare another table setup after denture issue n extraction-Plastic instrument, needle holder, XXX, YYY, ZZZ (sorry forgotten the names of the instruments) and finally chromic gut 3/0 (consisting a curved needle attached with thread-like material, which is absorbable and can degrade by itself). So after putting Bio-Oss (white-color-powder-like thingy which helps achieve regeneration of natural bone- one of a new nice thing learned today :) ) into the 2 extraction wounds.... and finally process of suturing made the best part of all! :D was totally amazed seeing the needle pricking through the gums in and out...out and in... with fresh red blood all around.... and it was really a "wow" thing seeing how skillful the doctor tying knots... it's jz so unbelievable that all these happened ryte in front of my eyes, 0.24m away from my eyeball precisely =D

What can i say? Horror movie does help!

Smile babe!

2010-03-24T21:34:00.003+08:00

It just feels totally different after a thorough shower as it flushed away the stickiness that stems from our bad weather nowadays, from being like a pig in mud, i am now so refreshed! having a mouthful of homemade pencuci mulut (thanks mom, muah!!), tasting the smoothness of compound yielded from blending mango and ice together, yummmmmmmmmmm!! (yes u can call me glutton ;P)

Who doesn't like white and bright teeth? So there came another patient the otehr day coming over for whitening. The procedure went like.... applying some kind of red colour semiliquid (the oxydizing agent which lightens the shade of tooth) over the teeth with another blue one at the edge, as if putting cream on cake :D then shine curing-light onto it for almost an hour. Was total fun assiting throughout the dental procedures, jz that neckache followed after that since we had been keeping the light shone as close as possible to the teeth, 3s per tooth (>3 will cause sensitivity), bore in mind that the tip that emmits light never touched the teeth/semiliquid. The patient was adviced not to talk throughout the process to reduce saliva production and to make our life easier 'cz at intervals we needed to keep the patient's mouth dry using suction, at the same time made sure the gel didn't come into contact with his gums. After all the shining and sucking, remove the semiliquid. So for the following days the patient shouldn't take any highly-stained food cz the colour of teeth aren't stable yet and they are pretty liable to colour absoprtion.

Right after my work finished that day i saw this patient talking to his friend right outside the bank, we greeted each other, and yes, he looked confident with his smile now! *shielding eyes from bright and shinny teeth*

Okaaaaaaay

2010-03-22T21:25:00.003+08:00

"Okaaaay...." has been my favourite reaction when seeing badly stained teeth. Yes you, i'm talking about you, Smokers! I prayed the hardest every moment patients first-opened their mouth that they are non-smokers.... otherwise i had to half-bend my back for half an hour FULL throughout the dental cleaning(scaling) session, u know.... u can't squat nor stand staright while using suction *ouch kneeache.... my back too..... need a chiropractor here* as you need to keep an eye for the exact spot where water accumulates then you gotta point the suction head there to remove as much water as possible, not too forcefully until it sticks to the walls of oral cavity or u're gonna end up sucking nothing with undesired noise contamination. SCREeEEEeeeEEEEeEEEEEEeEEEEEeehhHH~~~~

*Spotted some guilty eyes*

Those who never bother to brush their teeth start looking away..... cz they know i'm gonna lecture them >:)

I am given an apple, a banana and a kiwi, out of nowhere there comes another orange and all together i have 4 now but i can only choose 1...

MOS made my day

2010-03-10T00:59:00.003+08:00

Hot news today- Results will be released on this friday!!! n u can see how this fact casts its super power of gnawing people's hearts, at the same time daunting us in certain way, making all our good energy for our pursuit of pleasure wanes.

At first i didn't seem to feel anything..... but u know when u see all ur frenz niggling about that particular slip that can bring u either high up the sky or deep down the valley, u jz can't help feeling the same, as the field in ur heart thus started being sowed with seeds of Worries and wheats of Nervousness.

Lately i'm drained..... represented my college in numerous intercolleges racing competitions, undergone training at intervals, had been having merely 4 hours sleeping per day, all these lasted for 2 weeks++ arrrrrrrrrrrrhhh!! and all these happens only when hell freezes over HAhAHahA! (yes i'm so lame)

If ur still wondering what i'm up to actually, u can stop wondering cz i'm now satisfying ur thirst of knowing it. Yes i'm working nowadays as a dental assistant at e dental clinic near my college. Special thanks to my colleuges Jon n Thomas, they helped me a lottttttt with bottomless patience, kindness and thoughtfulness n i learned a whole lot from them! :)

Today was rather different, was cool back then, cz there was this MOS (minor oral surgery) case tensing up the atmosphere inside the clinic. Imagine door closed, lights off, only a fine glint of light being seen from the open space under the door of surgery room, adding on the incessant drilling sound coming from the room with pauses at times, can u feel it? the scene of zooming in, can u? Yes yes ur almost there!!

Generally this male patient's wisdom tooth grown horizontally towards the the preceding molar (if i'm not mistaken) somemore under insufficient space for eruption, so doctor had to remove it otherwise it's gonna cause profound discomfort in the patient. A pair of hand performing the main crucial task, another 3 pairs performing the sub-tasks (holding patient's jaw, removing blood via suction, manipulating the dental operatory light, spraying antiseptic [is that anticeptic? forgotten its name... will ask doc the next day], reloading the cotton...etc) contributing to the entire functioning procedures. At times i was in charge of controlling the operatory light, wasn't easy, cz the doctor's-all-the-time-moving-hands were likely 2 block the light ray thus the one playing with this must be always smart enough to make sure the light hits on target area in patient's confined oral cavity. So to do my best, i set my eyes right beside the light so that i could see what the light sees, and in order to do this, i tiptoed for almost every seconds when doing it for effective light-directing and for better view for doctor, n i hoped that i could jz stand on a stool =.=" There was once tears squeezing out from the patient's eyes..... awww........ :( * wiped for him*

Even in an air-conditioned room, our hairline were sweaty-wet, cz we were all on the same boat, leaded by the doctor who was under lotsa pressure no doubt. Every removal of the fractured wisdom tooth was a relief, pieces by pieces, from tiny to big then to tiny again, and finally, the root has been successfully detached and removed! hooray! at the same time being astonished when seeing the curved root of this stubborn wisdom tooth o.O CoooooOoOOOOoooooOOooool~ So the surgery was officially done after getting another dental X-ray to make sure there's none of the fractured tooth left beneath the gums and some post medication application. It was getting dimmer n dimmer outside, and this surgery lasted more or less 3 hours. Looking at the patient walking out relaxingly, no longer with the densed pace when walking in, warmth was what we felt :)

I've removed the chat box for own likeness btw, not an active blogger so don't expect prompt response from me here :)

Good night!

Believe it anot? Things never happened within my frame of expectation, even i had listed out the most significant liberal idea. So from the day i realized this, i never dared to imagine any good outcome instead i only prepared for the worst.

I think a lot, dream even more frequently (of course not when i'm working la) Hmm have u ever felt that you have a whole lot of feeling u wanna tell and express but u can't? It's like you have to keep it all inside your head without leakage at the same time you are trying to stay rational and play the mind game. Thank god my EQ is sufficiently high enough to suppress the move to spill everything out otherwise i must have blurted out something that will channel me to somewhere i've been longing for, which is a temporal nice thing for me, but not sure if the others approve.... hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Thus far i couldn't complain too much about my current position, cz life treats me good, still :) Wish me all the best!

P.I.G. ain't a bad thing to bump into, it's very subjective in fact, depending on one's tolerance level. One has to be prepared for this, still.

Even they don't speak to you, you have to initiate conversation with them, otherwise they'll call you Rude. And the worst part is, you don't know what they're talking about at some point, then you have no clue how to continue, what's more left to do other than staying tongue-tied? Smile maybe =)

2010-02-07T09:26:00.004+08:00

Yo sup people. It's been a while i've given myself off from blogging, anyway i'm back here to announce that i'm officially done with ma pre-U studies weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~!! :D

So,i just went for a good jog this morning, yes the same old place again. I seldom head to da gym, ain't much a gym person in fact cz working out in a closed up box with artificial cold air doesn't bring much of those kind of lively energy.... you know... you'll be like fighting for O2 at the same time taking in other people's CO2... eww!

Thanks to pasar malam jz right in front of my house and the karaoke centre next door, only i'm reminded that cny is around the corner n it's just 6 days away! :D Sneaking into the kitchen for a quick bite is already my hobby throughout these teenage years, so it wouldn't surprise me to see a figure having heavy bottom in the mirror XD

The past week has been just superb as i can still feel the excitement now, especially the remarkable trip with ma classmates to one of my fav work out place- taman pertanian :) The day was totally O-M-G as most of us have never imagined that we can have a blast together in such a cool way with lotsa laughs, craps, screams, gayness and the most notable kinda-frightening-monkey-attack experience!! Siva nearly got scratched by the monkey, was literally a close call, but thank god none injured, we returned home safe and sound :) We learned something at least- when the same thing happens next time, make sure you're holding something big (a spade perhaps) before yelling at the top of ur lungs to chase them off. Never use your 'weapon' to hit these animals! berdosa tau!

I was able to snap this monkey only (the most ganas fella, also the head of the family we think) One was fine... but for the next minute seeing whole bunch of monkeys moving towards our way just chilled our bones. Back then, the head of the monkey family only want food for his family :( Good luck monkeys, may god bless u'l :)

Alright i think i should just have a shower now otherwise will be late to my next meetup with ma former schoolmates. Have a nice day peeps!

2009-11-25T00:50:00.002+08:00

2 weeks back exactly, i was standing high up on the grassland with siblings and friends catching sunrise enjoying nice view from the forth summit intending to take cool photos of jumping in the air with spectacular scenery as backdrop. The morning was good as well as healthful- the warmth of sunshine, the caress of breeze, the smell of grass, the wetness of morning air, the energy of environmental spirit, the shout of relief......... everything was great 8) except for the attempt to produce Cool photo- stepped onto the stone... jumped! stepped onto the stone again.... jumped! you jump i jump, JuMp, JUmp, JUmP to get the best shot..... again again aaand again... we Fooled ourselves back then 'cz we look really stoopid in the photos lol. What to do?.. ain't born to be posers.... But we enjoyed the craziness of stupidity, didn't care if people thought we are idiot... 'cz WE ARE! >:P

Yes it was the day right before trial exam and i still went hiking, so what >:D I need to sweat like a pig in order to restore the the mood back, or else my brain wouldn't work well and it'll wander so far away... ponder about future, regrets, choices, opportunities, upcoming events, food.......... Hey Food.... I love food!... what to eat for breakfast tomorrow.....A.....B... C..... or ALL? :P :P but hold on..... hmm i should have done this....that....OMG where is my article??..... n heii why this song sounds so terrible wan....stop it go stop the song~!........

See? this is how the young lady would end up when she's not in her proper state of mind.

Looking at the double red dots in my ankle, the leech bites i've gotten when i went FRIM with some of my comrades 1.5 month back. Hadn't noticed'em until that late evening when i was about to take ma hot shower

Yaep it was still bleeding when discovered. Hey the leeches should feel lucky to be able to feed on my blood kay..... Healthy and nutritious, with good oxygen carrying capacity haemoglobin and good protein somemore, although slightly low in level of iron la XD but think about its size, the amount is fairly sufficient for its metabolism use isn't it? in fact it's more than enough! But seriously i really couldn't gain any lesson from it 'cz they are painless bites... and this's gonna show how right the saying goes- No Pain No Gain.

Life treats me good, still, though some ups and down have thrown to my way over the last few weeks, thanks to the happening, it had polished up my endurance, and i've grown with the lesson as well as the strength gained. I can at least bear pain better nowadays, despite numbness is what it feels now

Last day of September

2009-09-30T23:55:00.004+08:00

Like any other typical busy Wednesday, i was supposed to have had my nose in any of the book revising at my study table. But today was rather different. I took a long nap in the evening, i spent my night watching "The Sixth Sense", i left my books unrevised, but who cares? :p

Watching my favourite film in the couch- I can't remember the last time how i pampered myself like this way. Sitting warm in the couch with dim light and night air, tonight was so right to stop imposing the pressure on myself for a while.

Talking about "The Sixth Sense", i watched it on TV when i was 11 with my older sister, and few minutes ago i watched it on TV again! :D Well The Sixth Sense is one of the notable film personally, 'cause it was the first thriller film i understood so well that even my older sister needed me to explain the movie to her XP (as she is normally the one to do so) and that certainly made me super proud!!! thus from that day on, thriller/horror film had become my favourite movie genre! (^o^)v

Thus far, personal experience records japanese horror movies carry the highest shock value.. followed by thai, korean then british... "Shutter" is my another fav asian horror movie :P Hmm there's only one malaysian horror film that earned successfully the label 'qualified-as-thriller-movie' from me- "The Eye" as the rest i characterized them as comedy. I was 12 when i watched it, with my siblings and neighbour's sons(best childhood companion), and the best part in "The Eye" was the hospital section (as we were having the maximum volume on our tv) where the old nenek moaned~ in the hosp ward corridor, MAN IT SCARED MY PANTS OFF!!!!! with my almost burst eardrum! The fear was quickly barnished anyhow when we burst into laughter in a few seconds later as we discovered ourselves clumping together, hiding into each other's back having hands closing both ears lol.. My childhood- owh it's the best time of my life

So today's the last day of september. It's a month that i'd mark it Great, or sort of, 'caused it's wrapped up with such a blissful night

Have a good day people =]

The family reunion

2009-09-27T15:54:00.006+08:00

It's been raining with dark clouds emblazoning the sky, matching with still air and heat energy trapped close to the ground, this afternoon wasn't pleasant at all. You know when warmth and dampness happened at the same time, it brought about stickiness especially skin in your neck, chin, back of ears, arms, back knee...... argh i just can't stand with it! And if only you can see me, i'm now having my hair partially wet- Yep i just had a shower and got all my uncomfortableness rinsed off! i feel clean and fresh now :D (though Protex doesn't really smell good, at least for me)

So yesterday night i had gone through so much pleasure chewing the fats and having steambot dinner with my high school close buddies who we haven't seen each other since cny. Another year older, another year wiser. In this critical age, studies and future undertakings is the standard topic to go through invariably, to talk, complain and rant together! >:D What makes the evening even better was the great Secret which had been revealed in a great way. Among the responses were eyes wide open, stunned face, dropped jaw, mouth covered with hand...... hah all kind of i'm-so-surprised looking came out. "As expected, it happened eventually" some just let these words out right after being informed, like fortune teller.. Anyway secret holder thank you for sharing such a nice thing (hey we should have celebrated it wad) we wish you a soulful living with one another alright :D

On the way back home i started to realize, i didn't take them as friends anymore.... but Family 'cause it takes more than caring to be friends.. With their living shadows and shoulders to bond along, i'm no longer the lonely candle in the dark burning on my own... The companionship is priceless whether near or far apart. Buddies i love you!!

SM, wish you a very happy birthday :D To Kelly and Joanne, all the best in India, we'll miss you..*hugs* =)

By the way umm do anybody know is there any shop in KL selling Korean product?? wanna help mom to buy some sea vege.....

The story of Didy

2009-09-13T15:14:00.010+08:00

I just don't find any interest in anything, that's why i'm here slouching in this yellow IKEA foldable chair having this thought of reorganizing all the files saved on this computer as their fragments can be found all around in the bar, on desktop... like dried leaves which have never been cleaned scattering haphazardly around the field. In the midway of operation of attempt, i found this photo that reminds me one fine evening when i was doing daily chore as usual collecting sun-dried clothes...

Yes it's a lizard, a dead one.

Wad happened to the lizard? Dehydrated due to long-term exposure to sunlight?

Noooope..

Yucky colour.. you poisoned it arr?

*Smack* There's far more better things to do than to kill a helpless creatures okay. (neway it was on the sliding roof under the sets of bar where mom used to hang and dry clothes)

A photo reveals only things on the surface, you do not know, behind this dead body lies this story actually...

There was once a lizard named Didy whose biggest desire is to sunbathe on Beach of Kokuduohitaevoirmashitomoro de BMX McEllewiishawlgurt (lizard language, i dunno wad it means but i know where izit- longkang right behind my house which i think it's a paradise for them as mosquito eaters) So on Didy's birthday, Pete, his best friend wanted to give him a surprise thus gave him a call the night before so as to ask Didy to wait for him on balcony at 5am sharp on the next day.

(the next morning...)

Didy reached there earlier than he was supposed to. Hearing the morning song of insects.... it was pitch-dark.... Didy waited, waited and waited... 20 minutes past....Pete didn't show up. Still patiently... he continued waiting for the sake of pricelsss friendship....

(6 minutes later...)

Pete(who lives far away) reached the balcony finally, was late due to heavy traffic. He was totally shocked when seeing his best friend's dead body laying right in the center of the balcony..

"Few minutes ago a cat came and 'played' with ur friend until he died..." pronounced a pigeon while flapping its wings.

There's a lump in Pete's throat, he wept, tears that rolled down slowly wet his tiny cheek, but there's no way for him to bring his friend back to life..... He grieved greatly over the loss.

Meanwhile the sun rose... the ground was lit gradually... diminishing trace of darkness which inevitably reflected the heartbreaking scenes of the cat swiping its paw at Didy.. Pete stood up, carried Didy's dead body and put it down slowly, carefully on the sloping roof... The sunlight was so luminous, warm and inviting in that particular morning, as if it was meant for Didy...

-The End-

Moral of the story- Be punctual!

The Smoky Festival

2009-08-30T00:57:00.003+08:00

Hungry Ghost Festival celebration always reminds me the good old days when me and my childhood companions were sitting in a circle joining the old ladies, folding the gold and silver papers into yuanbao, offering prayers at night for the roaming spirits, as if it had been our habit to do so annually. Believe it or not, we (the Shoplot's-Kids) were popular among the old uncles and aunties due to our annual presence to stick around throughout the entire celebration. Years over years, the familiar faces alters with age: the uncles n aunties all look older, the kids are now dah besar panjang, going their separate ways, flying their own kites luu

Thanks to our human nature- old habit dies hard, until today, the Shoplot's-Kids(older version la) are still enthusiastic about this meaningful tradition. They still join the crowd to perform prayers, burn paper money as offering for the wandering souls (which are believed that they were not given a proper sendoff or status thus remained wandering all the time) And in the blink of an eye, the yearly Hungry Ghost Festival celebration had just ended. The flow was great, (excluding the live stage performance part!) as the situations were much more manageable and controllable compare to that of the other previous years. What makes this year rather different is that the presence of pure breeding seafood. Looked left- lil girls in mini skirt; Looked right- schooling boys with piercings in ears; Looked forward- lil boys in thick glittering jacket; Looked back- teenage girls in hot pants, HALO this is neither fashion stage nor Project Runway rite?! Teenagers nowadays..... sigh~!!

Counting a week back.... i was still preparing some important stuff for ma camp. Dive into the pool of reminiscence, we were all so excited working together towards the same goal, went w/o food for 30 straight hours to show support towards the children who go hungry.. (relate 'no food for 30hr' to the statement 'guys generally need more calories than girls', these guys have great tolerance for hunger like girls, seriously they earned my highest respect *salute salute*) To all devoted Faminators, thanks for making our 30-hr DIY Famine camp such joyful and memorable ^^

Well as for my result, i already gave myself a kiss and a well-done hand clap; At the same time, Congratz to all my classmates/coursemates who have done well in our previous exam and let's move on! :D

Half-deaf

2009-08-15T02:16:00.002+08:00

Since monday morning, i have been half deaf, all of a sudden, this is not the first time. Reasons? Possibly water entered while having shower that brought about the blockage, but hey if this is the case, it should have dried off (at least a bit) rite; the same level of irritation shouldn't have persisted for more than 4 days rite? I've tried using earwax removal tool to unclog it to some degree but nothing changes, that's why i'm now here having little hearing in my right ear =.=

Having reduced ability to hear, only phrase/words that are spoken louder could be heard. All i've got to do is Link and Think (link the words and think up possible ideas of connecting the scattered words to bring about a logical full picture) which usually consumed more than 2 seconds before i reacted. Have a look at this example:

Class was about to start...

"Yday night............ homework.......... maths..........." shinlu spoke in her usual way but i only managed to hear these few terms although i've thrust my right ear as close as possible. Tiit tiit tiit... My logical department immediately started operating... Is she trying to ask anything bt our previous maths h/w? hasn't she complete the maths? or it's merely an expression? Tiit tiiiit tooot tiiiitt..toottt ttiit... (still operating) Tooooooott....!! (operation failed) I looked at her cluelessly- "Har?"

"friday....gathering......house....."

"break......14.......go...."

( XO i can't hear )

Situations were ridiculous and we could only hold back our laugh during class.

You know, when you have your best friend sitting next to you, there's some kind of energy comes from nowhere that always makes you want to talk talk and talk as if there's no tomorrow and the conversation could travel miles down the bottomless track. She talks, i talk, we both talk a lot :D But since i'm mute for these few days (when sometimes i couldn't even hear or respond), she tends to end up talking to herself and people would have thought that she's a patient with mental disorder hahah! *Ouch!* my conscience just whacked me, feel so bad now lol

Okaay so what have i been up to lately? Well being a part of the committee of a DIY 30hr famine camp, weekends had been fun in the past couple of weeks and i'm anticipating the day indeed. For whoever who has donated to help the children and families in need somewhere on earth, i thank you for your kindness.

Things we have been awaiting is finally approaching- Results! Yes, results, will be released shortly on next thursday. I'm sure that my coursemates are all excited, yet nervous. Still, good luck to everybuddy! (and to myself too)

Have a nice day!

Tuesday morning

2009-08-11T22:18:00.006+08:00

Glanced at the clock, it said eight thirty-five, which is almost an hour before today's class started. Put on my socks, grabbed the last look of the familiar image in the mirror to check if there's any untidiness- Alright passed! Got my bag and books, headed downstairs, wore my sneakers- It's breakfast time.

Munching on my favorite breakfast cereal, reading the third line of an article in the newspaper...

Mom:"Your bro won't stay back today so wad time you'll be coming back arh?"

Think think.....class ends at 2pm... subjects: bio, chem.... amount of homework....alright...
I cleared my throat. "Two la."

.
.
.
.
(few minutes later)
.
.
.
.

Mom:"Later u got lunch break arh..."
(Ok when she raises this question, paying a visit to Maybank would be one of my activity that day)

Being a fast eater, i had my cereal bowl almost empty within 5 minutes. Stole a glance at the white clock on the wall, tidied up the newspapers, washed the dish.

"EPF payment arr?" I asked, as mom was busy filling in all those green colour slip in a hurried way while nodding as her response.

Looking dull, no smile nor glow in the face, leaning the wall.. (imagine chen wei in a totally lazy posture) I never liked tuesday and wednesday morning cz class starts at half-past-nine (u know, there's some kind of heavy feeling when waking up late with sunlight as if one-quarter of the day is gone and you couldn't find anything interesting enough to occupy your mind) That's why I always prefer to take classes early in the morning.

Utilizing their humour with a twist of madness, Hitz.fm morning crew jj and ean just got me laughing alone in the car almost every morning, with gotcha calls and sometimes my fav songs played on air, this is how my energy-boosting therapy takes place every morning =)

There was once a guy named Robert (if i'm not mistaken) called up for the hitz 5000 ringgit thing.. "YoYoYo! hitz five thousand rinngit says it's me man!!" this guy sounded very very excited, as if he's the winner lol, the conversation then went on.. Whatever it is, this guy just likes adding "man" at the back of every line he spoke. Although he was not the winner at the end, i'm still astonished at his spirit, the true morning spirit! that made him stand out among the rest. Haha! he just made my day.

Home

2009-08-01T00:20:00.003+08:00

Choose the correct answer.

Which factor(s) contribute to my presence in library almost everyday after class:
A) To complete homework as much as i could before going home
B) To wait for and fetch my lil sister/bro after they've finished their after-school activity/tuition class
C) Library is a chamber of knowledge with silence and peacefulness within, i just like to stay there
D) I don't wanna go home! for that moment
E) All of the above

Personally i define Home as a place where i can find peace. But lately my home doesn't look really like a home cz i can no longer look for quietness, instead circulation of sickening voice from the next door. I chosed to stay back so that i could spare my time doing revision at night, i have been such a good girl lately XP

Imagine cracking voice singing out of tune, sometimes with lack sense of rhythm, man i have to take this everyday! I do anticipate going home you know, but not as much as those days where i could feel the pleasant being at home. I walk upstairs with slower and heavier steps nowadays, reluctantly, as if there's some kind of force holding back my motion.

I'm not sure what brings me this kind of idea suddenly, i just want to traslate this piece of thought onto here--- There's this kind of people on earth who do nothing but only trying to wait for unexpected fortune a.k.a durian runtuh. If only i can help any of the holy spirit, i would want to give these people a surprise- a durian as they wish, a BIG BIG durian, falling right on top their head... chee ba boom!!! Newspaper headline for the next day: Young man die from a falling durian *clap hand clap hand* Lesson of the day, don't expect durian runtuh, or else you yourself will get runtuh-ed by durian.

K back, i visited friends' house sometimes and i found something i can hardly (maybe never have)--- Peace. Apparently there's less passing vehicles (zero passing vehicle in fact for houses within a closed residential area), no karaoke center, no operating-engine noise, in short no noise pollution.

Living in a shophouse is not all bad things anyway, apart from karaoke center section, the rest are awesome, as it used to be. The customers, the environment, the experience, they were my teachers throughout these growing years; The street, the life, the competition, they were the fuel that drives me here today.

What's your neighbour's surname? How often do you talk to them? Who's living next next next door? Ha only now you realized that you're not close with ya neighbour don't ya. Family to family connection, linked to formation of a big family, this is one of the advantage living in shophouse, it feels great and secure walking down the street cz everybody is already your friend, even family. I love my house, very much :)

Anyway E is the answer.

Enjoy your weekend people.

Live it up!

2009-07-18T10:16:00.005+08:00

Choose a programme, plan your weekend activities, begin the countdown to weekend, wake up each day and tell yourself "hey i'm going to (somewhere) this saturday" Literally this is one of the way to make a good week.

It's understood that why people called their lives Boring when they need to repeat the monotonous task each day like machine. Most of them will probably take the job as a daysleeper (like me, i mean, the old me) particularly on saturday or sunday that they think they might compensate themselves with enough sleeps so that they could start off a brand new week by healing their about-to-collapse-mind, as it doesn't really work out well actually, b'cause of their Thoughts.

Ask yourself "Am i really happy?" while actually you don't even need to do so cz internally you clearly know that you're not, at all. You took the test on facebook to find out how joyful you treated life but deep down you always realized that you're not enjoying at all. In such manner it's not wrong for me to say that it's not the test that guides you to understand yourself better but you yourself is actually testing on how accurate the result serves. See wad i mean? Yes, nobody understands you better, other than you yourself.

So instead of being daySlipper... sorry i mean daySleeper, try arrange your favourite activities or at least some great event per week for yourself to keep you moving on and you'll eventually realize... hey i've make through the days... then can give yourself a kiss =)

[O.O it's almost 12 dy and i'm still sitting here crapping.. k the last one, i'm goin to attend my cousin's.. (not really 'cousin' actually... he's my cousin's wife's youngest brother..) wedding dinner tonight in pahang] Have a great day people!

Decolorization

2009-07-17T02:38:00.002+08:00

Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum! I smell this rotten blog that's why i'm here to see if everything's alright.

So finally i can have a couple of time to spare here typing, connecting myself back to this global communication system, turning a new page for this site.

Well it's been 2 weeks since my last semester started, the first week was kind of... oh my god tis's gonna be a sticky patch to go through...as we met greater demand and tougher adversities.. oh could i? could i take the pressure?.. There was a point in my life i fidgeted a lot, almost all the time with bottomless reasons. I've gone through the days being a machine, living like nobody until the day i come across articles on newspaper, only to discover that i've actually got serious depression XD

Hold on..

PIIIIIAK!!! *mosquito gets killed* (yes i've been keeping an eye on this mosquito which has been distracting buzzing around..) K let's move on :D

People come checkout the following symptoms to see if you're one of the Blue Patient:

- Sadness and hopelessness
- Irritability
- Tearfulness or frequent crying
- Withdrawal from friends
- Loss of interest in activities
- Changes in eating and sleeping habit
- Restlessness
- Feeling of worthlessness
- Lack of enthusiasm and motivation
- Fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
- Thoughts of suicide

So if you have more than half the statement checked, you're probably one of them. How blue izit? should be more or less within the range from the blue of Benedict's reagent to dark blue result when starch meets iodine solution, wadever.. you yourself know it =] yet the bottom line is, consider what makes contribution to your miserable cycle and try take measure. It ain't easy to make a turning point but trust me, as soon as you revive your spirit within and truly find out that there's always two sides in every occurrence, you'd always prefer the good want cz deep down you know that you gotta treat yourself well by not letting Blue to mask you again.

So chen wei u mean u've thought bt suicide??
Nah the 3rd and last statements r exceptional- i do get real depressed but, i still love Life :) n crying is not my style

Life is Multiple-Choice Questions in examination, the difference is only that there's no time limit before making your best decision. You take your time, rest whenever you want, carry on whenever you prefer, speed is nothing but don't plan to commit suicide la. Love your life k =]

So by the time stepping into the second week, i suddenly started seeing trace of sunlight, fluffy clouds, delightful green plants and flowers, chirping birds, worker bees, butterflies and all the beautiful things all around. I'm not sure what makes my blue decolourises so fast and brought me out from all kind of excessive worrying, i just got myself out of the dreadful situation and of course i'd want to work on it to keep things flowing this way :]

Hmmmm will be testing on fresh chapters of C3 tml (suppose it should be an Exercise at first..) aah dun care, there's nothing to fear about since revision is done rite :P
Alright will probably update more during weekends (as i hope i could hahah)

Have a good day people! :)

The Speaker Issue

2009-06-26T23:11:00.002+08:00

Thanks to the gift from evolution with voicebox at the upper part of trachea, human are too good to be given the ability to talk, supplement by tongue, mouth and lips of course. So it's not wrong to say that conquering the planet now are a large group of Speakers, who converse like nobody when young but then develop to speak like a pro eventually contributing to their family, society, even the world like some of them do presently.

Let's focus on people around you yourself instead of looking at the entire population of Speakers. For sure, characteristics vary by the type of Speakers, say Active Speaker voices out their concerns with good attempt providing boundless excellent viewpoints; Passive Speaker only speaks when necessary; Main Speaker represents idea by resembling a number of thoughts from Quiet Speakers whereas Loud Speaker spread info efficiently. So you can see these Speakers are under the branch of Good Speakers that do good, fit to bring constructive results, delivering things up the level. As for the Bad company, the body composed of Spoilt Speaker that never sound nice at every moment they open their mouth; Candy Speaker who loves flirting around; Hidden Speakers who dish the dirt...etc.

For some portion of the people, i'm not sure why don't they think before they talk, yes they do have brain but why the h*ll they talk like no brain, bringing in witless remarks, discrediting their self-value.. izit b'cz they deliberately do so to cheapen themselves or perhaps their brains are just a chunk of rotten inept folded tubes merely filling up the space inside the skull..

Okay nevermind let's move on to another category- Bow&Arrow Speaker. They have well-functioning brain but sadly they don't use it when talking, never care or put other people's feeling into consideration, throwing words that are likely to pierce through one's soul (on purpose? or not? ah don't care)

Personally, people i'm not comfortable with are those who make sarcastic remarks ALL THE TIME, bring up laughter using irony incessantly, prone to lashing out at the wrong time that are going to offend people around (i wonder if they realized)

Well listening without defending is almost my nature as long as they do not cross the line but when Cactus blunts out vitriolic words attacking Tender Flower, i'm more inclined to make a stand against the Cactus or remark that are conducive in balancing the Cactus's harsh nature or..... anything, just anything!.. as long as i get to watch the Flowers' back, cz you you're going to agree with me that it feels utterly bad to see our friends being offended and it even kills us to look at them being hurt and helpless don't ya.

It's all about remarks after all. An encouraging word can help a person to make through the day while a destructive word could scroll a person from high up the sky to deep down in the ground. Sometimes parents might not realized that their "no need to go la" may daunt their son/daughter; while a single phrase "where can?!" from a teammate could sabotage one's effort and confidence in the pursuit of excellence. You now see how powerful the impact is a word could convey, so be cautious of how and what you speak cz you can either help people to shake off sticky patch, or kill them by verbalizing words that are powerful enough to smash them into pieces.

So, speak life, not disaster.

Jacob's 'Run for Your Life'

2009-06-21T21:58:00.006+08:00

Move and sweat! Keeping in contact with outdoor activity is almost a need to keep me fresh and energized, as if there were some kind of medication stimulant that only happens in natural environment to push everything to the back of one's mind. Try imagine, wearing sport attire, feeling the sunlight on ya face, kissing the fresh air, letting the breeze gently brush through ur hair (make sure without dandruff problem)..... waah so blissful so relaxing, don't ya feel the same as me- this is one of the best way to loosen up after some hectic living days?

Participating in Jacob's Walk of Life 2009 has been listed as one of my June's programme. So briefly i would just say that it's not as efficient as last year, not as fun as last year (b'cz they didn't serve Oatmeal Apple anymore for breakfast =[ )

(they shd feel thankful for having me to help advertising their product ha!)

In short there's still much room for refinement. And as for the staff, i guess, they should have gone through hard time after the event for mis-organising their way of working that led to such mess and contributed to a part of the programme failure. Anyhow staff-staff yang disayangi, don't feel too bad k cz at least, you gained extra points for your personal life experience right.

Funny thing i found this morning was, people just couldn't help squeezing making their way through the crowd to the very front line before flag-off... halo this ain't run-to-win-the-prize competition k, as far as i know they never mentioned "wang tunai & hadiah-hadiah istimewa sebanyak RMXX,000,000 untuk dimeanangi" on advertisement right lol. Then just when they sounded the honk, people started running pushing each other, fighting to be no.1, doing their best dashing forward. Their moves like running at top speed overtaking each other were more like running when disaster strikes, running to save their own lives hahaha! it's no longer Jacob's Walk of Life in fact but Jacob's Run for Your Life!

So i have six more days to spend... Hey i'm in mood for studies i guess, feel like starting ma' 3rd semester already, since the strength and mind power are almost back ha!

Not to forget, a message to my Superman,
Happy Father's Day Dada!!! i love you incredibly much! ^^

Term Break

2009-06-16T00:24:00.007+08:00

Food taste so bland lately but things happened differently since last friday night. Everything looked so good so delish, even a cup of plain drinking water! Yeah finally i've finished my partial job of being a studying-machine, finished my exam! :D My taste bud is much more alive now! can even taste and estimate the amount of ajinomoto added by hawker into my pan mee soup lol.

So before the last and we shall call it the most tedious semester starts, letting our hair down is really a must to rebuild and restore our Liveliness which had been worn out by certain amount of tension during exam preparation all under restless condition. Hmm wonder if there's such system through which students can get their grades right after finishing the exam, more or less like car theory test, but since it's all essay questions so the checking setup must have super-high sensitivity and accuracy towards handwritings and the other hand students get to recognize their mistakes as soon as papers are given back for review only in a closed-room. Efficient huh' (aah can't wait for results)

Aaah feet are sweating, so everytime this happens i gotta remind myself these few things- i can't get down off my chair (cz i'll leave wet footsteps and make the floor sticky and dirty); or if i do so, i have to tip toe around to minimize the sweaty-footprint area =.= i can't walk fast with bare and wet feet afterall (they can make me slip anytime). Sounds bothersome doesn't it? (yae sometimes)

(ignore the background wording)

Anyway believe me, there's always good side for every disaster. Wet feet isn't such a bad thing actually, it's a good way to practice skating... (skating??) YES skating! not kidding wei. With almost constantly excessive sweaty feet, one can easily propel across the ceramic tile floor, dun believe me? yep, not everybody can do this. So some of you need not waste petrol, driving all the way out to Sunway Pyramid just for ice-skating, cz you can now do it at home--- Tile-skating!! :D Tile-skating prepares you directly private skating rink to embrace the sense of freedom and confidence while having cold wind (maximise ur home cooling sys) brushing your face, you can even play your favorite music in the background to enhance the ambience, you don't even need to purchase glove nor socks to do this, what's more, it's FREE!!! :D But again, not everybody can do so

*please note: when finished 'skating', obediently clean the floor with sponge mop k, ur mama's yelling is not my responsibility*

_____________________________________________________

Sometimes i just couldn't understand why some people can't seem to value Friendship.
Shane is Eric's closest friend in school, until one day Shane received complaint from Samantha about his bad attitude towards work, there's no longer friendship between them, b'cz Shane though Eric had been badmouthing him (as Samantha mentioned that his attitude causes displeasure in his closest friend, Eric as well) The day after, Eric apologized and felt sorry for expressing the annoyance once to their friends who have the common idea about Shane's poor attitude, but Shane doesn't seem to bother bout Eric's (the so-called betrayal) explanation, leaving Eric in cold by not even responding to Eric's warm Hi for almost each morning.

Apparently bad comments which come from the person who you thought you can trust the most is extremely hurtful, i of course agree up to a point, but mind you, the bad comment doesn't only come from one's lips, it's from MANY. Seriously have you ever thought of being introspective for at least a minutes and reconsider if there's really something wrong with you yourself. And for undefined reason, Shane shattered the faith, trust and the more-than-five-years Friendship.

No worries it doesn't happen to the blogger (cz her friends are all thoughtful, smart with mature thinking) but happened to a girl very close to her. I always feel deep gratitude for having all the great friends in this life, but i feel sorry at the same time that i couldn't help her. Let's just hope that something better will compensate her lost.

Hmmmmmm.... looking at the to-do-list...... (kinda packed huh) so there'll be quite a lot of activities throughout the coming 13 days, whoah awesome!

Holidays here i come! weeee-eeee!

Noise contaminants

2009-05-26T16:41:00.014+08:00

It's one of those evenings when i finished revision, i just realized that my used-to-be-peaceful-weekdays has gone, since the 2nd floor of the double-storey-shop next to my house is rent out to be used as karaoke box designed for old folks. The renter is going to launch officially his karaoke business on next monday but right now i can already listen to the background music and their out-of-tune singing that happens just right behind the wall my back is facing which isn't soundproofing and could only trap 60% of the noise, leaving the rest 40% to my ears. Musics are still ok but you know, we can't stand out-of-tune vocals, they are noise, noise, noise! Arrghh why he chose here and why you, yes you! the shop owner agreed to rent your unit to this...this....... karaoke-business-uncle-group?! when you know this kind of service is going to shatter the serenity of this well-being old residential area *shake head shake head* ..look like i have to switch my mind-schedule and move things all earlier before the noise begins.

Enzymes

2009-05-24T23:34:00.004+08:00

I suppose most of you have heard about Enzyme Drink, not gonna repeat the information about the functions, advantages, methods and some of those those common seeing information.

Here sharing a rarely known fact:
One may find abnormalities in body such as abdominal bloating, headache(slight), no appetite, nausea, insomnia or itchy skin after a period of taking enzymes. These are not the bad signs but conversely signifies reactivated cellular metabolism, elimination of foreign substance, excretion of toxin in one's body.

So as we can see, due to ignorance consumers tend to fear and misunderstood then stopped taking enzyme which in return cutoff their way towards successful enzyme therapies.

So instead of buying products in market, why not try making your own homemade fruit enzymes through which you can find a lot of fun performing the series of actions using ingredients you personally prefer :D at the same time save you a ton of money.

One can try using:-
Fruits: apple, grapes, lychee, pineapple, papaya, strawberry, watermelon, banana(i wonder how it tastes)
Vegetables: white carrot, bittergoud, capsicum, tomato, sweetpotatoes, pumpkin, cucumber
Herbs: gingers, mushrooms, peppermint

fermentation of fruit extract

(I tried pineapples, starfruits, guava, grapes, kiwi, apple, dragonfruit, they taste great :P)

Ok, done with Enzymes.

So preparation for my upcoming exam that will start on june explains my absence for the past weeks (also for the next few weeks i suppose)

Have a great week people =]

The Glutinous Tetrahedral

2009-05-24T22:35:00.004+08:00

Unlike the usual sundays that i used to have my blanket over head till noon, i happened to be up early this morning to wrap dumplings! This year is quite different, as i finally earned the name Helper from mom regarding this occasion. Compare to ten years back i was still having trouble grasping the larger-than-my-palms-dumpling. After the years of upgrading and refinements, from Inept to 'average-Skillful', i could finally lend my helping hand since i'm quite free lately rather than lazing around in the bed.

Things went on smoothly- not for me of course, i mean mom. With the assembled shallow experience and inconsistent skills, the filling, wrapping and tying steps were repetitively carried out, sometimes without a hitch, but sometimes there were be some inevitably flaw. Of all the processes, i find that the quite 'tiring' part is the wrapping section, it's like..

look at ppl's one.... nicely perfect filled tetrahedral; look at yours, tetrahedral too, but why so weird wan

*unwrapped, rewrapped... compared with mom's dumpling

why so short wan this edge

*unwrapped, rewrapped... compared ... ... ...

For people who own close association with Art, i believe your Arty Side might have marked certain standard and conditions which varies from one and other individual before you identify an object or image- Nice don't ya. Don't understand? C'mon it's a simple principle, like in daily life, how guys rate girls as leng lui, how girls value guys as leng zai. Yea you get it haha.

So getting in touch with this arty-side along the whole session, i didn't and never like to move on wrapping the next one as long as the current doing doesn't meet the qualification of OK, ended up unwrapped, rewrapped, unwrapped, rewrapped. Imagine you're going through hard time wrapping wrapping and wrapping but it doesn't happen as if it supposed to be, added on hearing the uninteresting conversations between 2 male DJs who lack sense of humour on XX.fm, sharing jokes which doesn't really sound like a joke that 'bombed' audience and brought them into speechless, so lame, even made crow flies across...

*You can go turn off the radio wad
- cannot la mom wanna listen

The conclusion is: I could wrap a really nice one, just that i need a lot of Time
(Face it, you're slow!)

*****************************************************************

So by now you should have had a number on mind. Anybody?

"25!"
Yes!!!!!!!!!! you're wrong

"Eleven!" "33?" "Twenty-one?" "9!!"

"Thirteen??!" "22?"

"Twenty-four!!" "15?" "Sev..."

Hold on.. Yes Fifteen!! Come on stage the one who said that.

*The Yolk Lover Lii Meryn running lintang pukang all the way from downstairs to upstairs (imagine all in slow motion lol), got the hot dumpling, unenveloped the wrapper, slightly tore it open to reveal the fillings, letting out the fragrant aroma, allowing the steam to escape. One bite rewarded her taste buds, another satisfied her curiosity, third bite rejoiced her oral cavity with mouthfull of Yolk... by less than 8 bites the dumpling is already inside her digestive tract.

Oh ya to anyone who guessed it correctly, feel free to ring my doorbell to collect your Dumpling before june 2009.

Notification:
Winners are responsible for their own prize collection. Prizes that remained unclaimed by winner within certain period mentioned will be forfeited. HAhahA!

15- neither proud nor ashamed (ok i know i'm slow HaHA) at least, i never miss any of the annual Dumpling lesson :P

Have a good night

Mum, mommy, ma', maid?

2009-05-10T01:03:00.009+08:00

Living in a shop-house since young enables me to collect waste materials for personal use during childhood, say coconut shells to make sandals, plastic bags and nylon string to make kites (which couldn't really fly)

Yeah as i remember, I made a Carnation out of toilet papers and solder to show mom my love. Happy and satisfied, i handed over the flower to my mom. I'm not sure what type of reaction she gave when receiving it but when later i was told that WHITE carnation indicates that a person's mom is deceased, (choi!! touch wood touch wood) i took it off mom's hand, having an invisible phrase on top of my head showing her Give me some time, i can fix it! I got myself the watercolour paint and made a very-diluted pink colour solution. Guess what? I soaked the whole ball of flower into the paint -_-'' Imagine a wet, wrinkled, dense and heavy shapeless tissue, you now know how my nicely, fluffy layered flower turned into =.= The flowe... nope not flower, instead, the wet clump found its permanent home in the rubbish bin.

There's a woman i know, she's strict but kind, firm yet understanding, she sets limits, she's responsible--- just as every Mothers do. What makes her more special is that: she's busy, what kind of busy? she cooks meals for her children at the same time looks after her husband's shop, she knows how to repair lamps, household appliance like rice cooker and iron, she's thrifty, she doesn't like shopping, but she loves to cook! and i must mention that she can cook very-very-very well, really, from chinese dishes to desserts, she can sew well with or without sewing machine. I really look up to her cz truly, not every mother can do so. So Mommy is her name, and i'm so lucky to call her Mommy not Aunty.

In conjunction with Mother's Day, here's a poem dedicated for you, mom:

Drifting back the days I put on the green and white uniform,
It was the past day of kindergarten,
You combed and braided my hair,
To make me look great like flowers in the garden.

A for apple, B for boy,
You spent time teaching and improved my Spelling,
You served and made silent sacrifice,
That's why you always went to bed early cz i know it's tiring.

I played, i tripped, i made mistakes,
Over the years you've been watching,
With love, patience, and bottomless care,
You knead, shape and mould my being.

Dumpling, mooncake, custard tart, pudding,
I'm typing here with my saliva dripped,
Char siew pau, tao sar pau, siew pau... you name it,
Don't you know her kitchen is well-equipped?

In those days i was too short to reach your waist,
And i wondered how to grow taller,
Even though i'm now tall enough to have my arms around your shoulder,
When seeing your more and more grey hair, my heart sinks deeper.

Sometimes i slipped and fell down,
With a cut and pain in my knee,
You handed over the first-aid kit and left,
But deep down you were keeping an eye on me.

You can cover lines in your working hands,
But you can't hide those on your face,
Ma' i wanna protect and keep you healthy,
When someday i acquire recognition and stronger pace.

Mom I love you more than i can say. Thanks for being my superwoman, my mighty, my incredible mom!

-From ya daughter-

*If someday i find out anybody's treating and taking their Mom as Maid, i'll want to slap'em hardly, seriously*

Here honoring all Mothers, Happy Mother's Day! =)

The shadow

2009-05-01T01:15:00.003+08:00

I can't sleep, i feel so awake sometimes in the late of night, usually toss and turn like chicken wing being turned repeatedly on the grill, then i see this! in front of my eyes

All of a sudden, my eyes get all big cz i'm very sure that's not my sis! i can't help being terrified, feeling like my heart skipped a few beats, lungs get squeezed.

Later with the help of dim moonlight, i can see better as the pupil in my eye gets bigger.. And after some prompt analytical judgement, my brain tells-- it's Soft Toy

*_^$@&+$%#&*(#

I called the police and 'he' had been detained for the sack of scaring the h*ll out of me

Background info:-
Birth name: Pingu
Origin: Swiss
Species: Penguin
Date of birth: unknown
Height: 24 inches
Weight: 750 gram
Occupation: all-time soft toy
Interest: sleep!
Owner: (will not be revealed to respect owner's privacy)

After the session of questioning, it is believed that it's an accident that he just unintentionally scared the victim without ulterior motive. Always so thoughtful and kindhearted, the victim didn't sue him. Pingu's been released.

*The arrest is not known by the owner shhhhh!!

Serious, this is not the first time, look directly at the dark figure.. it's eerie after all...

Happy Labour Day workers!

Kids

2009-04-29T22:16:00.002+08:00

It was another usual saturday night on which pasar malam is located just in front of my house a.k.a. dad's shop. People might think this is good and convenient cz i need not walk nor drive nor travel a long way just to get some food/fruits/vegetables, in fact, yes it is. But think about the inconveniences, i have never had a weekend in peace all these years due to the noise produced mainly by the CD stall set up just right in front of my house.

Night market starts around 5:30pm and lasts till 11:00pm so the loud thunderous music with its base amplifier will be functioning throughout the working hours. Imagine the repetitive song keeps going on and on and it's so annoying that you feel like pounding it down fiercely with your hammer. In other words, i can neither focus nor study from the start to finish and i almost couldn't do any good thing unless the hawkers stop trading and close their stalls.

Since the CD stall is set up further down into my house corridor, as close to the gate enclosing my home stairs, i can thus see Uncles, ah pek even ah Beng! spending time picking their bestest porn DVD whenever i happened to walk upstairs/downstairs. Of course la when the night market is getting busier this corner is getting more crowded. As you can see from their 'serious' looking, as if doing some kind of Big research racking their brains thinking deeply. hahah funny expression.

So during this 5+ hours leisure time, i always seem to laze around the house, lay on the couch switching tv channels, walk around holding a cup filled with water, head to downstairs, read some newspapers, ransack the refrigerator, help dad to look after/close his shop, pour over ghost stories, switch on the computer only to later discover i really dislike slouching in front of the computer, shut down the computer, sit at my working table, wait for water to boil, sketch draw doodle, write journal, brew chinese tea, stare at my schedule and exam timetable, dreaming.... It's fine for them to play the oldies/commercially successful music however being over-played just makes me.... owh give me a break...!!

The clock displayed 9:03pm, being a lil bit drowsy i thought i could just get a chance of dozing as to kill the rest of the period of idling so that i could maybe lengthen my time on doing some reading later on.

zzz..........

Not even 30 minutes resting of eyes, i heard high-pitched voices.... listened carefully to the age in the voice...... it's children's voice! Yep apparently my cousin dropped by my house after buying some things at the night market, along with their 2,4,7 yrs old children. You know, when adults were having their adult's conversation, children tend to run around, especially those who are already familiar with the zone in your house. So whenever their parents came, these 3 lil kids will probably sound mommy mommy i want to go upstairs to find the gor gor je je.

Within no time you can hear them banging (not knocking) the wooden door. The moment you open the door is like Giant welcoming Dwarfs, they are just too Mini that you can hardly acknowledge their presence lol. Anyway never look down on Kids cz they can move real fast like lightning from standing on the doorstep to sneaking around in your bedroom, even though their short little pair of legs look so infirm and breakable, like lotus root :P (dear kids no offense)

Before anything happened, the first safety measure to take is to keep glass accessories away from children cz when kids're around the probability of 'accidentally-knock-something-off suddenly' gets very high. Every kid is different, as is their degree of discipline of course. When it comes to obedience, girl is likely to do better than boy, i think (at least they won't transform into out-of-control animal, spank you or kick you when overexcited)

I also see parents who have no clue how to raise their kids and some seem to have pampered their children too much, they didn't train their child in the way they should go and their kids end up misbehaved so badly, for instance a kid whose father is my dad's friend. This 5-yrs-old kid had been so inobedient that you wanted to tie him to the chair and make him stop playing the electronics hand tool say soldering gun. Lecturing the kid in front of his mom is not a good thing to do though so we'll just let the mother to do the yelling and shouting of course

His mother :"ah boy~!! come back here~!! 回来!!! faster!! COME HERE!!!" (always in vain) *rolling our eyeballs*

Well mine is still ok, in my friend's case, she had to format her laptop due to some reason which is all caused by her dad's friend's kid, too! lol if i'm not mistaken the same kid spoilt her house plant too, as she told.

Alright back to these 3 kids, fortunately they are far more better than both the kids i've mentioned, PHEW!.. You know, some kids tend to mean contrary to what is spoken, like in the beginning they said they want to 'find big gor gor j j to play' but at the moment they see you, they'll just keep their move and stand there smiling at you, slowly shuffle to the couch then stick their buttocks in it, remain in the sit, bashfully smile at you when you look at them- this is what they maybe called it 'play', so lovely haha

These kids consists of 1 girl (eldest) and 2 boys. Being like little chick, the youngest bro always followed wherever her sister goes; as for the older one he never act like DiGi Yellowman, he had been more independent with his own direction :]

I'm not sure did you people ever notice that child who has at least one or more older female sibling/s (Sister) is likely to behave better compare to those who doesn't have? how bout those who have older Bro you may ask, well my answer is It Depends. If the older bro is good boy (i mean those who don't fight nor talk rudely la) the youngers consequently carries the trait; but if the older bro himself can't even manage and take self-control, his younger siblings will certainly act crazily along. ***Psss please take note that the above statements are NOT applicable for Kids above 10 :P as all of us know when Kids are stepping into the teenage mind, they will all set their own style own interest, own underwear brand too. Hmmm i've met many people all these years, might be friends, schoolmate, coursemate, roommate, teammate, helpmate, approximate, climate, intimate, estimate...... oops sorry off-topic, anyway i can see most of them are good brothers and good sisters :)

Kids love cute things doubtlessly, so my sis's Breadou (the mouse wrist rest) is one of the thingy they never want to let go.

"May i eat this?" (the little girl petting the fake bread gently)
*waving our hand saying no* "but u can smell it or squeeze it if u want to"

...talking to kids may get a little tiring cz you have to apply many types of body languages

"Why? but it looks so nice and yummy..." (still brushing the fake bread tenderly)

"it's just a toy girl, look, fake bread fake coco cream" *lol*

...while the 2 lil bro were still curiously smelling it

"i wanna see what's inside, can i tear it off?"

"O.O! cannot cannot. this is the big je je's belongings, if u spoil it, she will scold scold"

*certain word needs to be doubled when talking to little children, haha i'm sure most of you have no clue why people practice this strange but funny culture, so am i. By the way the other thing i'm very sure is, if my older sis someday finds out her Breadou is torn into 2 pieces........ habislah kami*

All those happened between my lil sis and the 3 kids while i was just sitting at my working table listening to their conversation. So this naive-looking kid (the older brother) left the group and walked up to me, took my older sis's Doctor Octopus the spider-man villain toy and started playing with its tentacle arms.

Me:" hey can u draw something for me?" *pointing at the Dexter's Laboratory cup*

He nodded, started drawing...

Me:"so cute huh' ur Dexter"

He smiled. (it's not exactly alike with that one printed on the cup but it can be seen that the figure is almost there :) at the age of 4..... let's see.... we were still practicing our chicken scratch handwriting right haha)

Me:"anything u would like to draw? like robots... Formula 1 race car....monsters...?"

He took a glance at the ceiling, like me, thinking.....

Me:"Mmmm see if u can draaaaw................... * still thinking.... what do little boys like......* oh ya how bout Transformers?! Power Rangers? Spider-Man? Pokemon? Ultraman?..."

His eyes shone with confidence, calling out with a lot of energy:" Ultraman !!"

Started drawing again...

here you go- ham dan chiu yan I

Me:"can teach me how to draw this anot? my frens always laugh at me cz i dunno how to draw ultraman le.... u teach me la, can?.."

He:"can" (obediently lol) then he taught me stroke by stroke

His 7-yrs-old sister was drawing along by his side too, squeezing through for enough space. She took a glimpse and degraded his drawing by saying some hurtful words =.= which are strong enough to shatter his self-confidence *aiy*

ham dan chiu yan II (seems like this ultraman needs a neck brace to support his injured neck lol she's got her own style somehow B-) )

Believe me, you won't feel good when seeing a kid suddenly turns so sad with his dejected face due to the offense taken (unless you're cold-blooded)

Me:" i thought ultraman got power wan? where's yours?"

He added the 'power'...

Me:"so wad power is that? can destroy the monster in one hit izit?"

He:"ya!! it's Hand Slash.... an energy blast fired from his hand.....bla...."

He talked a lot and i enjoyed listening...

Me:" wa so geng wan.. "

...even though i was totally clueless XD It's really good to see the restored motivation that held his enthusiasm back after :) These kids left home eventually, complained to their mom somemore why they must leave so early (it's 11:10pm- ur bed time already babies =.=)

Oh ya people, so do you like Kids? And what are the types of qualities you can't tolerate in them? (if any)

Of course, patience and high tolerance is the first and foremost a person need to have when handling them. Respect the Kid! or you'll get accused of Bullying >.<

Pokeball-conjunctivitis

2009-04-21T16:14:00.011+08:00

As i look around, i can say that there's a lot of things i can do right now rather than slouching in my chair here typing doing minor exercise improving finger coordination and dexterity. It's been a while since i last blogged, and it's been a while without anything exciting. In brief, trial exam explains my absence for the past 2++ weeks.

Having me myself instantly transported back to the other day, i was jogging in the park near my house and as usual a bevy of aunties were performing aerobic dance, some old uncle were walking round and round the track keeping their joints active, some were jogging, like me and some were inhaling fresh cool air, enjoying morning red-light.... what a saturday morning. I always say being an observant is good cz when being aware of your surroundings, you know what's going around by reading the situation... say...

2:18pm, wednesday, outside McDonald's restaurant, XXX colour name tag, afternoon session's students--- these kids are playing truant *shook head shook head*

2:30pm, saturday, dad's shop, young boy holding his ah ma's arm--- very good grandson, help nenek buy bulbs *thumbs up*

although you can sometimes find disappointment...

7:20am, sunday, alam damai recreation park, 2 teen-age malay guys, 1 smoking 1 munching Cheezels--- see? teenagers nowadays are really unmanageable and disappointing. (hey hey wait! i'm different okae?! i'm a good wan :P )

still, there's interesting scene...

7:56am, saturday, alam damai recreation park, an aunty rendezvouses with her ji mui a.k.a. aunties friend and some of their husbands and old uncles were having discussion about their breakfast spot (they were be going to a dimsum restaurant if i'm not mistaken) The talk seemed never-ending due to some mm sik hui (doesn't know how to get there) and transportation problems.....

[was doing some muscle stretching after jogging when i overheard these aunties, didn't mean to eavesdrop or what cz one of them was just talking so loud. Till when i was about to leave, the group only happened to reach out car keys, have some last confirmation before departure.... (besides blocking the walkway)

then i walked up, wearing a broad smile, asked:" aunty may i join?"

lol nola jk, i headed home and had breakfast out with parents- also dimsum :P]

2nd case....

anywhere, anytime, when a person slipped, tripped and nearly fell down--- PHAAANG!! (loud bashing sound produced when the person landed his/her foot firmly on ground driven by great momentum in order to gain balance) followed by a quick sigh of relief and flushed face. (whoops this ain't interesting, sorry :P ) Anyway at home me and my siblings used to make fun of it cz these awkward movements never failed to tickle our funny bones, turning the 'accident' into amusement.

Hmmmm i believe some of you out there might have even laughed at yourself after the 0.4s of clumsiness and silliness didn't you? (how do i know?? of course i know! cz proudly saying i'm one of this species hahaha!)

So instead of doing something blindly next time, why not be an observant, feed your mental energy, multicolour your sightseeing and who knows someday o.O you may find money on the floor? *laughs*

*2 minutes away* (went downstairs, passed some messages to mom)
.
.
*back* (worried so worried...)

*be right back*
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Yup i went downstairs again, cz i caught a glimpse of a tanned skin man with his hat wandering around outside dad's shop playing some suspectful actions- peeped into our shop frequently, looked here and there around corridor, made calls......

Of course, more heads is better than 1- to feel safer. Me and my lil bro pretended to walk out the door (to draw attention from our neighbour shops in case anything happens) The man left finally, phew. So whenever dad is out for work, we used to do this as long as we find the 'customer' is suspectful. Sometimes 'customer' came with helmet and asked nonsense questions then go, some grasping something wrapped with newspapers (izit parang inside i doubt....) owh this is scareful..

Well itching of eyes has become part of my life since young and in response i always use my fingertip to rub the edges of eyelids to give relief (rather than using the back of my index finger to rub the entire eye cz this method is done only when the itching is intolerable) Yes this is eye allergies(conjunctivitis) and besides watery, itchy eyes and very-loosely attached + wrinkled conjunctiva, i sometimes scared my friends/siblings with pink eyes, even made my mom panic like a cat on hot bricks for getting blurred iris due to excessive rubbing upon itching when i was 6 lol

I still do it nowadays even though i know that rubbing itching eyes with hand is not good cz virus can easily enter leading to worse situation.... but it's so itchy! can't stand it!! >.< So in order to produce minimal pink eye, i rub the corner of eyes then i'll get half-red-eye (better than entirely red rite) and this is what i call.....

POKEBALL-conjunctivitis!
(shd be inverted-pokeball-conjunctivitis actually, anyhow the former sounds better)

Pokeball-conjunctivitis used to clear up within 4-5 hours. But serious, i can see folded conjunctiva at the edge of my eyes nowadays when i pull my bottom eyelid down... hope there won't be any late-side-effect... :(

Weather is greatly fluctuating lately, people drink more water k =)

Game of Cat-and-Mouse [Part II]

2009-04-04T22:03:00.002+08:00

continue.......

...the first and second guy were going over the block, let's name the former Mouse I and the latter Mouse II.

Mouse II (with his helmet throughout the chase) jumped and got a hand-hold, swung with the momentum from the initial small jump and landed his legs over the block, done!; As for Mouse I, he did almost the same thing: jump, grab, thrust but..

1st try- Failed..
2nd try- Also failed..
3rd try- Still failed..
...
...
... (-_-'')

- Izit b'coz jaded? insufficient upper body strength? injured after jumping off into the big drain? sissy legs? not enough toe strength to create optimum momentum for jumping? not enough adrenaline? wrong skill?? over panic? scared?........ (the list goes on)

Mouse II was on the other hand hurrying him up, upon seeing his friend had almost made it, mouse II begun his little run towards the other end of the shoplots.

- serious, if i was dressed in sports attire, i would run and get up to my cruising pace and go after both the sissy, just like how i did during past secondary schooldays when running the 400m once i receive the baton to chase after the leading runner.

- anyway as a female i'm pretty sure my ability to fight is totally limited. I can probably reach either of them, but what next? Hit his head? shoulder? feet? or private part?

K back to the topic, Mouse I got onto the pavement (in front of the shoplots), FINALLY..

- lol it seems to take forever to climb the concrete-block, besides involve 100% of his mitochondria usage.......

Mouse I took the golden chance and ran..

- his running speed was much much more slower than that before.... leg pain? or zero energy already? NO IDEA

Back to the zone i was stepping on, more and more people joined the crowd and bonded as a team to wave wildly, shout across the highway, point their finger in the air vigorously so that people on the other side could hear or get the message through reading their body language. Thank god a few men on the far side eventually noticed the chaotic ambiance over here and initiated their first move, followed by more people accumulated to be a part of the family.

I'm not sure how could Mouse I trip and fall at this critical moment. Before anything happened, the men transformed into Cats! Dashing in a chorus of flashing fangs and raw claws *MEEOOOOW* In the frenzy rush, they throw down Mouse I!

- YES!! 1 gao dim! one more left now..

Mouse II was on his way running towards the end of the corridor of shoplots, passed by a shop that is under renovation (Budget Convenient is the shop name if i'm not mistaken), he paused in his track once in a while, ran like cacat.

- Why he's running at slow pace ar? injured?... when?.... felt guilty for leaving his friend behind? ... wanted to turn back? confused? indecisive?.. DON'T CARE!! what i know is that somebody must come upon him!

- but WHOOOOOOOOOOO??????

- the people seemed to spend more effort on teaching Mouse I lesson, neglected the escaping-Mouse II.

- HELLO people~ there's one more over there la...

Having the never-give-up spirit, the crowd on my side raised their voice, shouted even more loudly to convey the message. Sadly but fortunately, only a renovation worker understood, he got the clue--- get the suspicious guy.

Intuitively he went into the the shop(his working region) and reached a 4-5ft metal bar, rushed outside, searched for the suspicious one. He found him! Renovation worker raised the bar and chased after Mouse II. He hit his head once, lightly, but then all we could see next were doubtful and hesitate movements, lol he was unsure and afraid if he had aimed to wrong guy afterall.

- for this moment, the malay woman next to me and my friends got so 'high'...

Malay Woman:" HENTAM DIA!! YA DIA!!! HENTAM!!!!!!! HENTAM!!!!"

- lol keep it up mak cik, it's full of good cheer

He looked at us, pointing at the guy with his long bar, indicating him??? this guy???? izit this guy????

- YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! him! go get him!!!!

Wasn't me alone, I bet each and everyone who witnessed the incident had responded this way. Trust me, enthusiasm and support was really the key that kept the situation up. In this very moment, the renovation worker had became much more convinced. It was like the whole taman placed all hopes on the renovation worker.

Later, Mouse II begun to put his big steps forward; the renovation worker followed. Just when Mouse II passed by a grocery shop, he acted a lil bit cleverer by tugging the Gardenia bread rack out so as to block and stretch the distance between both parties; nevertheless the renovation worker also activated his smart side fully, with all eyes on him, renovation worker switched his direction instead of following strictly to the mouse's route along corridor. He took the roadway and ran like a Hero, overtook Mouse II!

Upon seeing the metal bar the renovation worker grasped, Mouse II finished off his attempt to fight back.

- HURAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!~

- great job renovation worker! you saved the day!
*if sl/ eunice/ mw/ sy/ st/ any of the witness u r reading this please correct me if i'm wrong k

Renovation worker then brought the second mouse back to the crowd. It was such a relief to see the Cats holding 2 Mice by their tails with their paws. Great work everyone! Apparently the lesson of the day is very clear depicted- Stick and work together only a community can prevail. Well not going to be so-called "long wind" but still, allow me to give some advices.

To boy boy and girl girl out there, if you want to rob or get involved in any kind of burglary, plan everything meticulously and be SMART! Like, one prepares for crime, another brings motor/scooter/bicycle to standby....... (people m just givin idea, you won't call the police, will ya?) and the most critical element- train your stamina la at least, don't be like the 2 tikus.

Adding to the point, the guys are really forgetful in fact, they should have greeted Happy April Fool's Day just when they got arrested. lol. hahahahaha

Game of Cat-and-Mouse [Part I]

2009-04-01T16:55:00.007+08:00

Breathtaking and thrilling is how i describe the watch of a Game of Cat-and-Mouse live this morning which happened around East West Link Highway, Taman Connaught. So who was the host of the entire game? Read on..

Today is one of the usual wednesday in which me and my friends went outside campus to get our lunch and satisfy our active taste buds after a morning lecture. The dim sum was lovely, the chinese tea tasted so mild and fresh....

*Burp* Excuse me

We were heading back to uni, chatting while walking across shoplots when we heard somebody shouting. We looked around to check if we could find what direction the voice was coming from. I was not surprised to see a guy (an indian wearing black) running...

- he was just rushing to get somewhere on time, i thought

.... but as soon as i saw a few men(chinese in office work clothing) chasing after, my brain logic department told something is not right here. Immediately, my eyes targeted the guy again, widened its view at the same time to frame both the moving objects.

The guy lari lintang-pukang; the men kejar also lintang-pukang. The guy turned back at times to see if the men could catch up with him; the men chased after shouting "ooooi!! oooooi!!.." The guy was young enough to run fast; the men were furious enough to go after. And just when the guy was about to jump into the big deep drain adjacent to the East West Link Highway, one of the men managed to grab his sleeve from behind within no time, the struggling between the Good and Evil thus continued for next few seconds, anyhow the Evil was able to escape by taking off his jacket.

- how do i know all these? Told ya, me and my friends witnessed the entire chase that happened just 50m away.

According to my friend she saw the man fished something out of the pocket of the jacket and inserted it back into his pocket, fortunately for him, he got his thing back.

- so you think this is the end of the story? Definitely not.

People started walking out from shop crowding around showing the what's happening!! weird facial expression. Everybody became so amicable and approachable out of the sudden, kindly sharing stories, like friends. hahaha!

- at the same time a malay woman rushed down the the stairs..

Malay woman: "Apa pasal?? Apa pasal nie?!! "

Us: "kena rompak..." (keeping an eye watching anxiously, wiping sweat)

Malay woman: "Mana......mana....." (trying hard to find where izit happening)

Us: "ne... kat situ....... yang pakai itam tu.." (pointing at the black figure)

- so where the h*ll did the guy go?

He went into the drain and climbed out on the other side but seemed like nobody was trying to stop him.

Being in the state of great agitation, we looked here and there to seek Hope.

Great one! We saw another guy, also wearing black outfit daringly followed, kept close distance with the guy, risked his life moving through the fast-flowing vehicle stream. BEEEEEEEE-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!! Drivers were cruising along having a blast when suddenly a guy runs out, then instinctively stomped on their brake, imagine the sound made by vehicles especially when doing panic braking at high speed, SSS-NGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTT!!!!!! CHIBABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

- hahahahha! nola kidding.... forget the last part.. no car crash

- overall, the road was nothing but a total mess!

Both of them were in the middle of highway but it seemed as if the second guy wasn't doing anything to capture the first guy apart from merely approaching and walking after him... then we finally realized--- MAN HE'S THE COMRADE OF THE GUY!!! #&*()#$* !@#$%^&*

Frustratedly, angrily, dissapointingly, resentfully, we straightened our knee and lifted our chin and our heel off the floor so as to get a clearer picture of what happens next on.

Both of them now crossed the highway and got to the opposite site safely, started climbing the tall concrete block, trying to run away

- hey why the street looked so calm and peaceful over there, no passer-by, no onlooker, no pedestrian. Where is everybody???!!!

- NO NO NO NO NO..... hello people over there, do SOMETHING!! just ANYTHING!

to be continued......

I think in pictures, not words

2009-03-28T23:45:00.003+08:00

I'm not much a speaker but expressing feelings through drawing shouldn't be a problem. A sketch diary- this is my favourite way to alleviate stress and escape from restless mind. Pick up a pencil and let my hand draw whatever it likes, scribble all over it. To me, paper is a place where i can put most of my thoughts down, also secrets. I draw what i feel and of course only me myself understand what lies behind each and every figures. Undoubtedly having music in the background is always preferable, so by blending the essence of music together with the flow in mind, one can probably lose himself/herself in the drawing, and this is what we called- Enjoy. In a nutshell, drawing just makes me feel calm and content =)

So as you can see (or maybe feel), what title should i give this drawing? haha hmm i shall personally name it Touch and Go.

Join the world. Vote Earth

Not only human, Mother Nature also undergoes mood swing. Weather fluctuates so quickly from scorching hot sun you see it here to heavy rain with thunderstorm in the next hour. For the past few days, you sat on the floor, i bet your buttocks didn't feel comfortable resting on warm tiles. After the evening shower, you sweated even when you were just sitting around, and you felt like taking shower again. You were grumping at the weather Aaah it's so hot and i feel i'm like in a sauna room, sweaty, sticky, itchy, dirty, yucky...

In hot weather, losing pounds of fluid is likely. So people, drink water when you first wake before taking anything to your mouth, it helps you flush your gut, stay hydrated, of course feel better :D (for those who has poor oral health/bad morning breath, doing this is quite recommended or you can kill the very first person you talk to every morning hahaha no offense)

During the previous hot days, my palms sweated more excessively, so so rebellious

I think most portion of water i consumed is lost here

this is a piece of clean Premier brand tissue
.

tada..! art of sweaty palm

so most of the homework time my book will end up this way, wet and wrinkly

*Those who have hyperhidrosis out there, do you experience dried palm skin and in turns starts to flake then you need to do the peeling? it's like sloughing off the old upper layer of skin to reveal brand new cell underneath, and this happens to me at least once or twice a year.

Not just hot and dry days, your body needs regular infusion of water during wet days to compensate water loss through breathing, urinating too.....

Well H2O...... it reminds me my primary schooldays when i took school van (instead of bus) to school. During the old times, guys used to bring 1.5 liter water bottle to school. For good boys, they finished the water just right after school, or forcefully made themselves finish the leftover in order to empty the bottle before reached home or they would get nagged by mama; As for naughty boys, they played tricks, they rolled down the window and poured the leftover water then finally grinned Like you, i have an empty bottle too *laughed out loud* The one who were not forgotten- their friend who was enjoying breeze flowing past his face at the back seat, i think he should have gotten a short and quick 'refreshing moment' by having his face 'washed' haha. Anyway to our dear dao gei, please listen to your mummy and be nice k, it's all for your own good.

Hmm i'm sure most of you know that Earth Hour is a wake up call, so how many of you are going to do your part? i know some of you may sound yes i'm going to turn off my lights, then i'll be driving to the nearby Starbucks....

Thing i only want to say anyhow- Vote Earth, also try take joy in Darkness =)

Being a Libran

2009-03-23T21:56:00.007+08:00

Life keeps on throwing pebbles at me, ranging in size from a red bean to a hen's egg. Days have been intimidating lately until a point i was about to throw up my hands and run away and this is why i have not been in the mood to blog for the past week.

Results were out more than a week ago and i should say that i'm pleased with it, except for paper bio unit 3 which drags most of our average down, so in order to obtain a strong A, retake or not is the major dilemma brought to the A-Level students. When this little thingy was still pestering me, the news a friend of mine and her family got involved in a bad car accident on the way back from vacation stunned me into silence.

So people, when your friend flunk her chem test, you helped her for the next one; when your friend wept and complaint that the guy she adored doesn't like her, you adviced her there's plenty of fish in the sea and there must be somebody holding the other end of the red string somewhere on earth waiting; but now when your friend lost her brother, what you gonna do?

We listened to her that night and let her talk most of the time. Believe me she's a tough girl. And girl, don't worry we'll back you up **hugs** :)

Life still goes on, for the following days the person writing this was struggling like a lil duckling, she lost confidence in her adaptability and herself, exactly a scale that lost its balance. Days turned out better only during the end of week, she attended her good friend's birthday party.

Hmm having conversation with friends can certainly clear up one's mind (for me, at least) Yeah i'm proud to be a part of my ex-classmates, they are brilliant and they are friends that I wish I could spend more time with *smile* The party was awesome, just that i left too early. To birthday girl, hope you're having the best birthday ever! Stay cute k lol

Well i'm not sure what's actually going on inside me, but i'm sure i'm not a defeatist. Take things as learning experience, patience is the key--- this is what i used to remind myself and i believe i can again regain that balance within.

Life ain't easy, my uncle died yesterday...

The variable strokes

2009-03-09T18:01:00.000+08:00

Being a student is inevitably a part of life experience. Some of you are still as if barley grains steeping and germinating under comfort zone; and some of you might have strode across the field of academic, started pursuing something more permanent. Now dive deeply into your previous schooldays, think what exactly obsessed you the most in the past. You never had to worry about householder insurance, politics, money matters, home security, debts right. You bite back when school laid down the law, you didn't even bother the snag in your shirt because you knew somebody would fix for you definitely--- it's all past history however. At this point you don't expect to be spoon-fed, and you can't just leave a broken marriage mend by itself almost as if magic.

Being an observant is also another way of learning. And i believe different people practice different style of jotting down notes to keep track of works-in-progress. Personal investigation finds that there's 5 types of students: Stainless, Thesaurus, Monotone, Artist and Wise Learner. Stainless are those who keep their textbooks clean and intact, meaning they don't highlight, underline or write notes inside, and just basically don't pen down anything while studying- Studying means studying, nothing else; Thesaurus usually has meaning of words written on top the vocabularies so diligently whilst Monotone's textbooks appear to be dull with extra notes written only in Black ink; It is understood that taking notes and highlighting is about turning a large chunk of text into a short descriptive summary but in the case of Artist, they prefer highlighting almost the entire lengthy paragraph in a variety of colours, over-utilising the Art of Highlighting; As for the last group, Wise Learner is characterised by making notes written in distinct coloured ink. So which class resembles you the most?

For me, i'm definitely all right having hurried and haphazard writings in my notes, i seldom erase them in fact b'coz a book without pencil scratch seems more likely spiritless. So go ahead and do it, if you're like me can't enjoy studying without pen scratching.

Hmmm some believe 'handwriting reflects a person's character', think that neat handwriting indicates the person is more systematic and on the other hand poor handwriting is a display of irresponsibility.

Frankly speaking i have inconsistent handwriting but i'm sure it has nothing to do with accountability issue and personal efficiency. Yup i can produce super neat handwriting ONLY when i spend more time doing it slowly (no doubt this is time-consuming) but then automatically my hand will start writing fast. You see, there are many times in my life i tried to be consistent whist writing but to no avail. Looking at how i write the f's, i never cross them frequently; For g's, j's and y's, i sometimes loop them with a large+opened/narrow+closed flourish, or sometimes just straight (sorry la hand muscle is too flexible, couldn't systermatize each and every stroke of the letters) All i can say is, my handwriting changes with my mood, i like change, can't stand with monotony. Moreover writing is also an art, and you don't expect me to use an invisible architect's scale to standardise the height and width of every letters don't you?

Likewise not-excellent-handwriting might just be a person who thinks faster than he/she writes :P I never said i am perfect, I don't have wonderfully tidy handwriting, and still i'm proud to say so *laugh out loud*

The cloaked and disguised

2009-02-27T02:30:00.004+08:00

Like all human beings, they pick up different names and identities, possess different attitude, embrace different events. Pick 10 randomly, a guy may look cool with his icy stare, another may look sissy because of his curls and feminine appearance. Turn around and look at the others, the girl looks so youthful wearing jersey, next to her the young man looks like a person with great intellect adjusting his black framed spectacles. Now behind the life's stage, who knows the doe-eyed pretty girl might be the next hypocrite whereas the good-looking man is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing?

People spot the wolf now!

3! 2!1! ok time's up!

People walk in and out of your life, some as friend, some as passerby in nature. But among the so-called Friends, how many of them have merely approached with attempt to take advantage then left without saying a word, and by now they treat you more like a stranger than a Friend. You don't have a clue what i'm talking about, do you? an instance:

X and Y are neighbors. X is good at baking cake; Y is inexperienced on the other hand. X is the type of person who gives generously whenever he can. One day Y is facing a shortage in flour, X picks up some and gives without expecting anything in return. Y thinks that the texture of his cake isn't nice enough, X gives help and advices. Y's oven is broken, X lends him one. As the good days go by, Y has sharpen his baking skills and owned a bakery house but seems like he's trying to be a little distant- zero conversation, turn away, avert his eyes as they passed each other, no more greetings. X gets disappointed by Y's behavior.

Still don't understand? all right forget it

Anyway the question goes, how can you tell if a person is sincere? Some answer, we can spot the fake smile *wink* True (but not all the time) The fake one might look real at times. Yup facial expression are not billboards, people might look bounteous and friendly at first, but you never realize that they keep their ulterior motive so well until all of a sudden they become so harmless. They gradually extend themselves in friendship and get what they want then finally 'leave', but in fact they will be still in your surroundings most of the time. The better quartile remain 'friendly' but of course not 'so friendly' like the past and as for the worse quartile, they treat you like stranger.

Sometimes just when you really want to lend a helping hand and do good things for people, they seem to want more and more. And i don't get it why people get so so muka tembok nowadays

people tends to 'ask for more'

Probably you won't see me going around taunting people b'coz i personally think that ridiculing by means of laughter is hurtful. But since having conversation with these kind of people is sometimes inevitable, i play along, by holding on the principle You stab me in my forehead, i stab you back in your forehead- Tie :P Also at the same time, i keep my distance from them la --- save time save energy!

In a nutshell, i'm absolutely fine if people want to take advantage of any others or Me(if you think you can). But for those who wear mask tebal tebal, fake their emotion, my tolerance wears thin for them.

Shame on you

He'd probably like it... this was the first thought that came to my mind when i was receiving some light refreshment. I carried my bag, books and the bread without second-guessing, left the blood donation center. I wanted to head home immediately and give him this bread. But before i managed to get back home, i was shocked and saddened by what i've heard- He's gone

See, humans choose nice environment, build their own houses, plant beautiful trees, but is it a fault for some stray animals to roam around? Does stray animals' life mean nothing to you? They are homeless creatures and it's real sad that some people still fail to see these stray animal's feelings. I should maybe claim that humans know nothing except racking their brains everyday to figure out how to make more profits. Selfish, so so selfish. And as i know, besides euthanizing stray animals, DBKL sells stray dogs as well to dog-traders and dog-eaters. This is horrible. HORRIBLE! You cruel heartless beings can't you do anything better than killing defenseless creatures to make bucks!?! Shame on you!.. I really deeply hope that i could smack their bloody face with rotting sardin fish and expired apolo wafer cake, then stuff them into cage like how they've done to the poor beings. I hate DBKL team. I hate the person who called DBKL even more!

Back in time, this lil black stray dog came without warning to my housing area last sunday (i wished i could rehome the dog but mom....) Nevermind, i still feed him meaty bones and rice/bread so that he wouldn't get starved. But from now on i can never see or pet him, there'll be only wilted leaves lying on my house corridor, no more shadow wandering around..

Stray dogs too have their right to live, why humans can be so self-centered at times.. :(
God bless the dog

Turnaround

2009-02-12T21:46:00.008+08:00

There's no country in this world that's doing fine since nobody is ready for a global economy which is in the tough spot now. Even kids know this is really a colossal mess, because their ang pow money is less than any year previous hahaha. For us the non-businessleader non-investor, we can definitely help our parents by saving money (referring this specifically to spoiled kids who let money slips through their fingers like water, ur papa mama is neither billionaire nor money making machine ok)

From financial shock to sharp economic loss, what comes next? I'm sure there will be still a lot of shock and changes following. Like so many of us, we fear change because we're too afraid of losing. However change is a fact in life and it is constant. Refusal of dealing with change is simply like denying reality and you'll be stepping your life into bitterness.

At the early stage of confronting change, there's like a thousand no no no no no in your brain, then for the rest of the day or weeks, you feel depressed and unhappy, you think and fidget a lot, you say No to friends' invitation, you even get trouble going to sleep and waking up frequently in the middle of the night, you're not well-rested at all and it all comes to an idea: I hate living on earth! but deep down you know, you're given only 1 option in order to make progress- change! and change is the very first step before aspire, progress and evolve take place. So when time goes by, you start implementing change until one fine day you didn't realize that you've actually coped with it. You whisper to yourself hey, change is not such a bad thing right, it brings more good in fact, then you smile.

Serious, we really have to modify our perception that change is worthwhile (sometimes). Just like why grass bends with wind instead of showing the hardwood property--- when you accept, it doesn't mean give up. So it is really up to us whether to be a tall and big tree or a gentle spring grass. (start looking inward and be introspective people) But for now, neither pokok nor rumput i want to be, yawn~ i want to sleep

'See And Why' part II

2009-02-01T02:22:00.007+08:00

Everything happens so fast and it takes time to realize what i have been through and how i have reacted during the peak of excitement, it seems like yesterday i was still doing spring cleaning checklist, playing with the 0.3mm thick dust, flinging unused items out my room, lending helping hand baking cookies, getting ready to begin my annual hometown 5d4n trip....

09's cny is slightly different because an annular eclipse (despite a total one) happened on 26 jan :D The sky was chock full of cloud and the bad weather nearly ruined everything. Anyway with the help of photo film, i viewed an impressive sight and snapped this.

1st solar eclipse of 2009

Back to the fact that Digi coverage is terrible especially close area, guess what, it happens no more in dad's hometown because the company sent a number of well-trained YCF roaming around the village following digi users around. So kawan-kawan cousin-cousin uncle auntie junior senior schoolmate classmate please don't feel surprise seeing 'chen wei' on your mobile phone calling you up during cny :D

Talking about my hometown trip. Thank god i manage to get back here without losing my hearing. Imagine you are closing your eye enjoying the icy cool anglia shandy, the thunderous loud bang comes smack your ear fiercely. waa you can really experience a sharp pain in your eardrum. (additional info, the explosion occurs just 2 meter away from you, and believe me the wall of rumah papan can function only 2% noise filter, so if you do not even care or lazy to press your palms tightly against your ears, you're probably at the risk of hearing loss, end up conversing like a half deaf ah pek) A 1.5m long firecracker string costs.......no idea.... it's not cheap, though. 8 strings a day the family ignited, all together really cost an arm and a leg i guess...

Hmm i have a question here. When you visit your uncle/auntie, what they will ask? (ok people, start thinking!)
- How old are you? waah so biiiiig already ar(the standard opening line)
- Further studying?
- How's college/school?
- Got bf/gf?
- How's your result?
- Woah so round wan u
- some uncle auntie like to compare kids, in terms of height/studies
- some of them even wonder to whom do you belong -_-

When the interviewing session continues, you can't help feeling dread introducing yourself. Nevermind, because getting ang pau compensates everything after all XD

Sometimes i think, adults tend to do silly thing during cny- the gift giving culture. Some came visiting bringing big big hamper (they are not good gift actually, all junks and fattening food) Come on, true friend true heart doesn't need such thing. It creates stress to others (our parents) perhaps. You give me package A and expect me to return you package B, hahaha why so silly. Headache headache, here comes another undue pressure to our dear parents. So people if you don't waste your money do thing like this, you're stop adding extra wrinkles on my parents face, thank you

* Today is truly awesome because my gang's annual CNY Visiting has been executed successfully! Haha way from ampang to lagenda mas, caught up with friends and keep the bond tight. Thanks to all my 16++ friends for keeping our one-day event such joyous and wonderful ^^ Take care...!!

The annual festival 'See And Why'

2009-01-24T15:15:00.015+08:00

Students were sitting for their last paper, they did not chew their end of their pen, they fought with time, played with calculator, checked their answers again again and again, because nobody wanted to give up. 10 minutes past, talk to any of them, you can see him/her smiling throughout the conversation with a neon arrow pointing over their head *I'm exam-free finally! :D* They couldn't stop discussing how smart/careless each of them had gone through it, followed by "hey let's go somewhere..." then *zoooooom* (gone) Well to me, i like going back home, to pamper myself, to relax, to let my hair down, home is (always) my first destination.

Of course, cleaning my work table was my first thing to do that night. Sorted the books by subjects, unstick the memo, rearranged the files and stationeries, removed 2-3 lil pieces of faeces on my draft (thanks to uncle lizard), discarded 2 dead mosquitoes and 1 dead ant (never knew my table is a spot for insects to commit suicide, all died in peace). Yeah the desk with three drawers storage is now clean, tidied and organized :)

So (finally) yesterday, i've got time to really sit down and do my favorite calligraphy. Speaking of calligraphy, i must not miss this chance to thank my Writing Brush for keeping me company along this 18++ years. Everything's started when dad showed and demonstrated how to hold the brush and how to control the pressure to create thick to thin lines. Days of practicing the brushstrokes were like "papa this one nice anot?" (submitted for grading) He used to scan through, and disappoint me by pointing at only 1 word and also the flaws, followed by tons of comment and correction.

my writing brushes

(pasar malam brand brushes are good for painting) introducing here my life partner-paint brushes!

Yea there are many creative ways to arrange the verse so that it works with the overall composition. In short, calligraphy is all about creativeness, originality and fantasy =) When a person had mastered all the basic skill, the person is about to develop his own style. That's why i've been playing around with the fresh, new ways to arrange the verse along these growing years. Never forget to mention the person i greatly admire, the master of calligraphy- 王羲之 (an imperial officer in the Jin dynasty if i'm not mistaken). Well, doing calligraphy is like releasing the long-locked spirit of chinese characters, there's a lot more than you can see.

What's the best brand of writing brush? My personal experience tells 鸡狼毫 . Many beginners opt for cheap brushes/ pasar malam brand thinking they will buy better ones when their skill improves or just for the sake of saving money. Mind you, you can never do a perfect brushstroke by using the good-looking but low-grade brush, it will hinder your efforts and can even discourage you from continuing. For ink, of course it's awesome if you have an ink stick and ink stone- the older the stick gets, the quality of the ink that comes from them tends to be better. Nowadays somehow buying it in liquid form is great for its convenience. Hmm i bet you've seen the bottled ink with orange packaging before, that's the brand i used to stick to *wink* By the way take note and check the trade mark, buy genuine product with label '金' not '全' for better density, colour and quality. Traditionally fancy calligraphy kits........ owh that would be utterly a Yeahh! if i could own it someday. (In fact i'm still finding source of learning the other type of calligraphy script)

bear in mind the trade mark

regenerating self inner peace

Less than 4 hours from now i'll be leaving this city and heading for another KL (dad's hometown kuala lipis, pahang) There, you can really smell the peacefulness of rural living. Wake at the crack of dawn, you see mist not haze; listen to the conversation of surroundings, you hear bird sings not sound of car horns like crazy, walk out your doorstep, your skin catches fresh breeze not dusty wind; look up the night sky, behold the shining flakes not red or green light on the wingtips of aeroplane accompanying the dull and lonely dark atmosphere; lie and keep your eyes open at night, you enjoy the presence of fireflies not blues. These concludes the reason why i like this KL so dearly.

Plus, there's no need to worry about setting alarm because the people over there will do for you. When the sun rise on the other hand you're still curling up in your comfy bed, the loud booming and piercing firework noise *pi-pak!!! pi-pak!!!pak-palak!!! pak-pak-pi-pak!!* suddenly blast out without warning, shocks and wakes you up. It used to continue for some time and you need to cover your poor little eardrum from bursting.

* wahhh it really brings me heart attack for the next few seconds
*Heart beats so fast...... lupp-dup! lupp-dup! lupp-dup!......................................tittttttttttttttttttt (haha nola still lupp-dup!)

After fireworks, they play cny songs freaking loud and beats me why they have to be so loud like showing off their stereo system hahaha and for the rest of the morning you'll have cny songs dung dung chiang roiling through the village. They definitely bring up the atmosphere however :D I think you should have heard of one cny song which sings "....发了财呀大家忙又忙买了汽车又造洋房家家都好风光....." frankly speaking i particularly like the phrase 买了汽车又造洋房 (Don't ask me why because i have zero idea why i like it so much. Hahaha! lol)

On the subject of cny advertisements, petronas is still tugging on heartstring, producing best ad among the rest, meaningful and touching. 08's ad i like it the most (it was a story about an orphan named tan thiam hock... so on) Felt like crying each time i watched it :( By the way i have some personal comment relating to this year's revive isotonic drink's cny ad. The guy speaks canto, talks like stoopid and i can't even listen to what he's actually saying, making the ad really s*cks, really, he deserves my slapping for the sake of lowering the quality of ad and degrading the company's reputation. (no offence revive, your quality of drinks is good) Well still, thanks to all the cny ad, they make festivals more delightful.

*Since DIGI coverage is adequate for major towns but poor for country side, friends might fail to look for me and i must have missed some of their cny greeting and left them message unreplied. So here, i'm wishing all friends of mine Happy Chinese New Year! Xin Nian Kuai Le! :D Ong mari! Ong mari mari! ONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the way towards relaxation

2009-01-18T18:50:00.006+08:00

2 days after tomorrow, 21st jan, marks the end of my first semester exams. This is a good news indeed, but stress makes me smile hardly (stretching my lips and trying to make the side of my lips curve to make it at least look like a smile) Yeah i'm now smiling *finger crossed*

The level of stress and worry finally starts dropping somehow (weee~ sliding down the snow-covered hill) which in return stimulates the secretion of happy hormone serotonin. But there's still something pestering me... It is actually...... *Smack* man i've made silly mistakes on my Chem paper which would affect the rest of the whole question. Arghhhh *smack smack smack* Well since life is mostly about a give and take balance, i suppose what i give is equal to what i take. Let's just hope for getting high marks in other paper to improve the overall score =)

What can i eat to make me feel better....... running through my food department in my brain....... Banana! (increases ur intake of magnesium, reduces anxiety, helps better sleeping also) Chocolate! (stimulants for happy, content and relaxed) Oranges! Walnuts! bla bla bla......... ya endless. Teeth and jaw muscle get so excited, having enthusiasm wanes, but sorry mate i just don't feel like eating. So this week, the last week's paper is all about counting and stabbing calculator. Again and again, all the best to me and my fellow coursemates.

*I don't watch tv recently, because the screen of innocent blood spilt and people die like they are nothing is really heart breaking :(
God bless Gaza.

A break from revision

2009-01-12T13:38:00.005+08:00

Home life and going back uni for exams is everything for now. So far, the dense part of biology paper is over and this is really a stress relief, at least it plays some amazing trick on mental balance. Stress is a normal response to challenge, threat and excitement. Small amount of it can be beneficial, but too much means you'll have trouble thinking and your plug is about to shot. I believe you all have experienced stress before in your life, unless you're a baby, makan tidur main tidur, chi he wan le. For us the non-babies, guess our chi he wan le day would be only the first day of chinese calendar. 1......2........3............13! Not more than 2 weeks till chinese new year! man this is so so great! But serious, i need a psychologist sometimes to really untie some knots in mind.

Last friday i had my second paper, chem practical, basically it's about titration, flame test, mix this and mix that........... Finished task 1. Moved on to the next task, read through the question, "darn why use methyl orange not phenophthaline... the end point must be difficult to determine.." played with the burette tap. Focused, very focused on dipping the solution. Upon completing the 2nd titration "values are not concordant, repeat" Done the third time "hey values are inconsistent......something' seems not right here...". Discarded the product, repeated. "what happen?! this is not the value i want..." Via interpretation through hearing, my fellow coursemates had started doing the 3rd task, stirring and dissolving some salt already. Glanced at the clock, time was running short. "ok make this the last time, take a breathe, do it more carefully, everything will be fine girl" All together i've done 5 times titration, thank god i got the right one finally. 3 out of 4 of the tasks were completed without a hitch, the only time-consuming part was titration, however at the end, i got extra 10 minutes for checking =D Talk about the testing gas part, i got a lil bit afraid handling this because there was once the boiling ammonium bromide splashed out and burnt my hand during practical class, it left a bad taste in my mouth.

So this week i'll be having my 3rd and 4th paper. By the way i've learnt a lesson- bring your jacket along into exam hall. Not again playing warming tricks, having jaw muscle shivering and making your teeth chattered throughout the exams session like last thursday.

writing in cold is not easy

your writings might appear to have extra long 'tail' + messy

15 minutes ago i was reading so diligently and i'm not sure why am i here now. Anyway i was amused by a girl the other day. Let's name her Bosmond (a fan of hk celeb BOSco wong and rayMOND lum) I was midway revising and she came and kacau. I took a glimpse at the rukun negara printed on the back cover of her exercise book and simply spoke "ok tell me the last principle of rukun negara" She paused for a while and spelled "Kesopanan dan kesusilaan!!", cool and confidently! "The second one?" "Kesetiaan kpd raja dan negara!!!!" She pronounced this even more unafraid with high tone. "k the third one now" "Keluhuran KElembagaan!!" I frowned a lil at her remarks, thought that she was kidding or maybe my hearing problem again. "er pardon?" Bosmand looked more hesitated now with her voice slowed down "keluhuran... KElembagaan?.." I managed to ask this before rolling on the floor laughing out loud. "This is the usual way you recite rukun negara every monday at school?" "er..... yes... i think" Not bad, at least she knew something was wrong. My gawd it takes ages for her to realise that she was wrong all the while for the previous 16++ year. I should have sang her the very first phrase of the song Realize by colbie caillat "take time to realize...." Bosmond you're so lucky to have me as a savior to stop you from misleading information on your next generation or next days your bunch of cucu cicit will get an E for their moral attitude. Hahaha! lol

Fun's over, back to serious stuff. Students recite the pledge weekly during a compulsory assembly in such the way so loud, loud like thunder, afterall they recite just for the sake of reciting it. When it comes to meaning and significance of each and every tenet, i'm sure 90% students in the hall will face downwards looking at their clean and shining school shoes, some can't stop brushing their already very neat hair, some get tired standing and started mourning, some even take this golden opportunity to restore sleep! and you can hear a pin drop silence next. Anak-anak harapan negara, berjinak-jinak rosak dimanja. *sigh*

Not to forget, all the best again to myself and my coursemates. Bye

A good kick-start

2009-01-04T20:49:00.006+08:00

Playing with the 08's calendar, flipping each page up. If only you know what type of person am i, you should have had the idea sprung to mind how my calender looks like.

A quick review from months at the bottom according to particular themes given by myself. Okae what we have here..........

Dec - study break. It wasn't all studying during the early stage. I chilled out at home, listened to great songs, read good articles, spent time more like taking holidays instead :P Life is wonderful when you're linked to Leisure once a while. Pamper yourself, stuff the entire belgian chocolate into your mouth, melt it at a slow pace, let it slide gently into your oesophagus. (oh sounds too girlish? ok just bite-chew-swallow! then roll and twist your sexy tongue to remove the chocolate stuck to your premolars or molars for the rest of your day :P)

Belgian seashell chocolate

Nov and Oct - busy like a bee. There's red colour writings on top of the month title- 'Drive safe'. Er drive safe?? haha why for only these 2 months??

Sept - start all over again

Aug - twist and flex

Jul - undue depression

Jun - brain utilization

May - play, not play play

April - back to class

March - idle but able

Jan and Feb - themeless (away on vacation -NS)

The calendar contains scribbles, doodles, marks, highlights, ticks and lines all over it besides the days are crossed out after that day is over. Scan through it, it's colourful and eye-catching indeed :D Other than calendar, diary makes interesting reading. Reading diary is like looking at the private psychological files (because it carries tons of secrets XD) Unfortunately my drawer couldn't fit any more books and now i'm thinking where else i could keep them. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

It's 2009 and i believe good things- it's not over! :D

The last festival of the year

2008-12-21T20:08:00.019+08:00

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

2008-12-20T23:45:00.009+08:00

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

2008-12-19T02:03:00.008+08:00

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

2008-12-12T23:41:00.015+08:00

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

The grief of losing heong beng

2008-12-11T21:31:00.014+08:00

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

2008-11-28T23:22:00.016+08:00

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

2008-11-28T01:16:00.010+08:00

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*

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

2008-11-24T00:49:00.020+08:00

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

2008-11-19T23:00:00.013+08:00

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

2008-11-14T21:28:00.011+08:00

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

2008-10-21T01:10:00.004+08:00

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

2008-10-16T17:15:00.013+08:00

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

2008-10-11T14:04:00.003+08:00

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
