Merry Christmas!

It’s Christmas!
On Saturday I receive 3 invitations to go for a party, a scout party at Wenworth Hotel, a Christmas party at Beat’s house with 5sc1 fellas, and a dinner with some relatives. (Why can’t they arrange them on different days….haha) After giving it much thought, I decided to forgo the scout party, as Kitloong didn’t want to go and I wasn’t supposed to go single, and go for the Xmas party instead… though I felt sorry for letting down KahChing and Kamhei. Well…

Anyway, the party went on great, thanks to Beatrice and Twins’s superb organizing skills. The food was d-licious, mayb with the exception of Yolanda’s what was that? Pasta? Since when did Kenny Rogers come up with this kind of weird paste-like thingy? Haha… Just joking. Pei Yei and twin’s cake/breadpudding was really yummy too.

While we were eating in a circle, Peipei suddenly came and lean on Roshan’s leg! I think she even pinch his leg or something, though I missed most of the action. Haha, suddenly, Roshan a.k.a JaySean, being his usual Roshanic self (translation: shy), jumped up and immediately called his “gf”, probably to apologise. And the whole place erupted with laughter, well, a new couple is born, it’s something worth celebrating right?

After we played the usual musical chair, chairless but with pillows.

Here are the pics

And the friends

YOu might start to wonder where am I in those pics. Well, where indeed? I am starting to wonder if I ever did go to the party. :P

Working in HLG securities

DAY 1
After a nervous morning (cause my mum told me a bunch of Do's and Dont's I couldn't really adhere to, like don't use handphone), I reach the company my parents are currently working in at 8:30. Christina from Retail was supposed to make a pass for me, but because the person-in-charge wasn't around, I had to be pass-less, meaning, I wouldn't be able to even go to the washroom without harrassing someone to open the door for me.

Anyway, upon reaching the Credit Control Department, which is the place I would be at for this two days, I was disappointed, yet relieved. It was a small office, consist of around 10 person, including Goh, the Manager of the department.

The morning session was DAMN boring. Everyone was busy making calls, printing stuffs, typing... So none of them gave me as much as a glance. Being given a Standard Operating Procedure handbook about 1 1/2 inch, I began to read and eventually, day-dream. Dream, dream.... zzzz....sms.... come on, the time couldn't be that slow!! ..... Finally, my dad came into the department and rescued me away for lunch.

The second session was much better. Goh gave me a briefing about buying and selling of shares in relation to remisiers, and then Yap continued on Limits and other basic stuffs. Still, I wasn't of much help to them as when I offered to help, they answered," It's ok" (translation: just sit down don't disturb) Then a person came out from the inner office and asked to talk to me. So i went in and he went on about Accounting, CPA, and stuffs. When I finally squeezed out some courage to barge into his room to ask him some questions, I then realise that he is the Executive Director of that company! OMG, Imagine how he feel when I asked him,"What do you do for the company?" Opps.

DAY 3
Today, I went to Research Department. What I would have to say is.... the people in the 2 departments differs in many ways. Everyone here is English speaking, and the whole environment is more lively. Surprisingly, most of them are quite young, the oldest being 30++. It's like walking into a college. YenLing, a girl who just started working here as a Research Assistant (RA) after graduating from Manchester U (UK) earlier this year helped me a lot. She gave me some stuffs to do and gave me her user ID so i could log on to the net and do "whatever you want". (really?)

That night, I followed my parents to a dinner, again. It's a welcoming party for the new boss, David. The food was okay but I really wanted to get outta there as it was so boring for me and most of them were smoking and drinking. (It's their tradition to test their boss's drinking skill)
-.-"'''

DAY 5
I followed the research people to the morning meeting which they would be presenting their report every morning. I felt lucky I wasn't the one presenting. It's Issac's turn today, and I think most of them were unhappy with his presentation. One of the dealer shot him with a lot of 'ridiculous' questions which he could not answer. The dealer, dissatisfied with the answer, shook this head and started to walk out of the room, until the research departmental head, Andy started to explain that the question was out of the scope (they don't need to know the answers), and then both of them began to raise their voice. Feeling angry, the dealer just walked out and slammed the door!

After going with them for breakfast, they went back to the room and did an international report. YenLing turned on a weird radio-like machine and dailed two numbers (I think it's to Thailand and Singapore). The all the research analyst began to present their report in front of the machine in turn. There was not even a sound from the other end that I seriously doubt if anyone's listening at all. When the last person finished, I was anticipating another question-answer-quarelling session, but instead, they just turned it off without even listening to the next country's report. Then I wonder, what's the point of reporting if no one cares to listen? Puzzling indeed.

Right after that, Andy held a meeting. Of course, he commented on Issac's presentation. Not clear enough. Next time, record his presentation and let him listen. I doubt he even know's what he's presenting. Then he went on with a new format of report, and everything went back to normal.

DAY 8
This time around, it's Settlement department. Out of the three, I think this is one department that I can actually understand and help a little, as basically, what they do is mostly proccesing forms and as for the main counter, cheques. The Head, LiFen, was more organised as she arranged people to actually explain what they do to me. So... I got to help out here in the backroom and the main counter. But still, it's not something one would like to do for the holidays.

DAY 10
Yoohoo!! Last day! Today, I was put under 'Transfers' and a Malay lady kindly taught me the procedures and tricks that the remisiers do to make money. Then I went around giving presents to all of them as a token of appreciation, and off I went to celebrate! Haha.

Comments
The one thing I learned from this whole experience is, appreciate and enjoy your student life before its gone! Really, it's much better, and yes, even the burning-the-midnight-oil part. Well, at least a got a RM300 allowance for being a two-week-disturbance to them.

One word to describe the concert.
Thunderous.
Imagine the sound loud enough to lift up the mood of the entire stadium blast off right in front of you. That's how close I was to the stage. Even my jeans was literary moving due to the sound.
Just like the last concert, we didn’t have the chance to have a proper dinner. Only difference is this time, we had KFC instead. At around 7:45, my family, my aunt, my young cousin, Kitloong, and XiaoYan arrived the Kelana Jaya Outdoor Stadium. Many were queuing up to get in, thanks to the SVVIP ticket we had, we went in from the other entrance, skipping in the queue.

We decided to go to the mobile toilet. Immediately I regretted once I got in. The whole cubicle smelled of, ahem, you-know-what. NO water was supplied so I couldn’t even flush or wash my hands. And yet the whole cubicle was WET?!! even the top, imagine what that is. When I came out though, I saw all 3 of them wore the same expression as I, so I guess it’s not just mine.

The next 20 minutes were spent finding a water supply to wash our hands. And somewhere in between, the rain stopped. At 8:15, the concert begun.
Immediately I started to think, hey, maybe having an ordinary back row seat at a concert wouldn’t be a bad idea after all. I didn’t expect it to be that loud. It was like, the whole stage exploded when the music came into life. I swear I couldn’t even breathe properly throughout the concert.

Now there she is.

Fast beat, lively, dancing through the night, that's her.

Yet when we looked closely, we noticed how tired she was. Fragile and thin, I couldn't even imagine how hectic and strict ( in terms of food) her life must be. Camera can really widen a person. You couldnt even spot a single piece of fat on her. Really, people, stop harrasing those actors/ress and singers with your criticism, it's really unfair to want them to be perfect when we ourselves don't.

Energy came!

That's 天空 's songwriter, wei si lin.

The only drawback, not much people shouted for Encore. (She said she might perform again if the audience insist)

Terima Kasih!

Does any of you like Jolin Tsai? She's performing in Malaysia on 9th Dec. ANd the best part is... I've got tickets to the concert!! FOC. Haha... I can't believe my luck. Well, eventhough I am not that huge fans of hers, I like her song. I wonder who wrote the songs for her. It's somehow, "uniquely off-beat, hard to catch, but still sounds right" Unlike some songs which, eventhough u've never heard before, you can guess the tune within ten seconds. The fact that she can dance is a plus too.

Of Toastmasters & UCAS

Posted in

Last weekend, I attended a public speaking seminar organised by Taylor's Rotaract Club. They manage to invite representatives from Toastmasters (including some CEO's and presidents of clubs) to give us a speech. I had to say that they've done a great job for being able to get everything going. Perhaps it would be even better if they had organise the schedule better (many- including the committee members, are late).

On the first day, I was accompanied by my brother. We were divided into groups and were given an intro to public speaking, impromptu speaking, gestures, organising your speech... The scariest thing of the day was that we were required to give a 2-mins speech in front of everyone with half a second of preparation. Mike, the speaker, gave us a topic (mine was "is money important in choosing a career"), and we were to express ourselves right there. Surprisingly, most of them did very well, perfect English, humourous, well-organised... One would have thought they'd prepared them overnight. On the other hand, I sucked despite getting the easiest topic.

At night, Kitloong called and said he wanted to go as well. When I sms-ed the organiser (Ken Sing) on whether he was eligible for a cert, he responded, " well, if u ask me nicely, i might close one eye on it." After one sms filled with nice words... "you have convinced me, i will try to do something." Haha. Well, that night, me, my brother, and him, spent the night brainstorming for the ideas on the speech we were supposed to give for the competition on the next day. (There goes my sleep).

I was surprised to see Kam Hei at that seminar the next day. We were among the first to arrive. I guess the speakers were frustrated to find that the door into the LT room was locked when he arrived with his family, resulting in all of us standing outside, waiting for the organiser; which was why he scolded us once we got in. Throughout that day, I was forced to sit up straight and nod then and again, because due to my sitting position, the speakers all kept looking at me when they speak. Finally, the competition began (Kam Hei had sneaked away just before the competition starts). Some of them came up with very very good speech, even the Toastmasters said if they were to speak in their Toastmasters Club, they would have beaten most of the toastmasters flat. Of course, I would have to say, I was among the bottom, again. The winner of the day was Tong Kezanne, with "How to Die Early". *I was disqualified for not being within the time-limit. * Hahaha.

Anyway, on my way back home, exhausted and thinking about my sweet and soft pillow, my friend sms-ed me and said that the dead-line for UCAS application for Taylor's students(FYI, the application to UK universities) was the coming thursday!! (What?! Just a few days to go, and I didn't even have any idea what I want to study!) So, that few days of mine was spent on going to college, rushing through my home work from school which was getting harder, surfing the net, filling in the form, and dashing to and fro -about 5 times- between my house and Mrs Yuen's tuition center, because I need her help in writing my personal statement, as that is the key to successful application. (Mrs Yuen kept saying that my English has lacken and that I used to write better English than what I had written. Sob Sob.)

I finally managed to pick 6 uni, all of which I decided to apply for accounting and finance, and sent in my form online. Phew, one more thing down. Bad news is, I have a few topics to cram into my head this weekend for my final 4 tests of the year, a badminton date with my friends on saturday, movie in the evening, and Yoga on the next day.

Gosh, there goes my sleep again.

I woke up even before my alarm goes off. I knew, this is going to be a special day. I laid on the bed, tossing around until my boyfriend called. Then I got up and did most of the things gals are "supposed" to do before going out. (Actually, it only involved tying up my hair)

As usual, he arrived a bit late. But i wasn't ready yet. So i took my time and made egg sandwiches, thinking that it wouldn't hurt to let him wait for a while. However, I was shock and embarassed to find out that his parents were both in the car too, waiting for me. Opps.

His parents let us off at the bus stop near his house, and we got on the bus heading for Maluri after snapping a few photos. Using the touch-n-go card, we boarded the STAR Lrt and then at Titiwangsa, we bought the tickets and went onto the Kuala Lumpur-Genting bus, beginning our journey.

It was quite a long and twisting trip. Luckily my boyfriend was smart enough to bring along a MP3, and we spent most of the bumpy ride trying to figure out the lyrics of <只对你有感觉>

无解的眼神心像海底针 光是猜测 我食欲不振 有点烦人 又有点迷人浪漫没天分 反应够迟钝 不够精神 花挑错颜色 但很矛盾喜欢你的笨 微笑再甜再美不是你的都不特别眼泪再苦再咸有你安慰又是晴天 靠的再紧再贴少了拥抱就算太远全世界只对你(你)有感觉玩的 再疯 再野 你瞪一眼 我就收敛 马路 再宽 再远只要你牵 就很安全 [我会又乖 又黏 温柔体贴 绝不敷衍 我只对你有感觉 体贴却粘人爱哭却温顺 有时天真有时很邪恶 对你耍狠就是舍不得即刻吸收养分 让脑袋平衡 要你现身 动作慢吞吞怎么承认我非你不可 微笑再甜再美不是你的都不特别眼泪再苦再咸有你安慰又是晴天 靠的再紧再贴少了拥抱就算太远全世界只对你有感觉 玩的再疯再野你瞪一眼我就收敛马路再宽再远只要你牵就很安全 我会又乖又粘温柔体贴决不敷衍我只对你有感觉.

Actually, we only figured out the chorus part, the rest was copied from the internet. *Guilty.* Upon reaching First World, he brought me to the card counter and apply for a Worldcard. When i asked him, he confessed that he never use the card before. "Well, it feels better to have a card more in the wallet." -.-" Duh?! Anyway, we then went around to find a place to eat.

McD? No, we have that once a week in Cheras, that's more than enough. KFC? Nah... Wat-Dan-Ho? What? All the way to genting for a wat dan ho that cost triple the price in Cheras? Don't think so. We were in front of a restaurant, ( i couldn't remember the name but i think its the one that me, SKy and Yee Rui went at midnight the last time), about to go in, when someone suddenly tapped my back and said "ta kip" (robbing). I turned around and couldn't believe my eyes.

I stared at him for 3 seconds before i came back to my senses. Kam Hei? At Genting? What is he doing there? Then i saw Yvonne, then all the PE6 people appeared in front of me. Wow! Isn't the world a small place? I mean, it's Genting, not Leisure Mall or even Sunway.When one of them suggested to go in to the restaurant, Kit Loong pulled me away. Well, i guess he still doesn't like the idea of me + him+ Kam Hei (+ KH's frens).

We ended up in Ria apartments's cafe for Nasi lemak. After a walk, we went back to First World (the walk uphill was indeed tiring) to shop around. Surprisingly, there are a few shops having a sale and i would have bought a jacket from Cheetah if i'd brought along enough money (I didn't think i would buy anything at Genting). In the end, we got ourselves a glow-in-the-dark necklace, and souveniors for my brotha and his sistah.

When we finally decided to go home at around 4:35, we bought the return tickets and hurried back to FirstWorld as i forgot to buy something for my grandmother. With a picture of us in my camera, I went to make a keychain for her to bring to England.

I guess the bus left when we were waiting for the key chain. Of course we didn't know about that until we boarded the 5:30pm coach and was scolded for being late. We still managed to find two seats eventhough we were supposed to stand and we slept through the whole journey till we reached Titiwangsa. The LRT came once we reached the station and then the 403 bus came right when we stepped down from the LRT. Lucky, ain't we?

However, our luck ran out when we finished our steamboat dinner and went home. When i took off the necklace that i only got to wear for less than 8 hours, it fell onto the floor with a sickening crash. It shattered into pieces! My heart went down with it, and I hastily scrambled to pick up the pieces. Aih, what a way to waste away 18ringgit.

All in all, it was a happy day trip. At least now i know it's actually quite easy and cost pretty much the same to go to Genting as compared to maybe 1U or Sunway. (Plus i won't get headache and cooked for being under the hot sun for too long!) Nice, ain't it?

I never notice this. Today in my parents' office, we discussed about my training program in the departments. They began to lecture me about the way i should behave (don't twist your hair!), act... and talk. They reminded me to be smarter and talk in a manner that i would not seem too dumb nor act too snobbish. Then i suddenly realised that i have always been speaking without really thinking through what i would be saying. For example, complaining about me being too fat or too short in front of others who are also as sensitive to this issue (most gals hate this topic, including me! haha). I guess this makes me seem arrogant to others, without really meaning to. Some of my friends have reminded me about that, ya, i have been trying to do the wait-3-secs-before-u-speak thing, but it's really hard. Maybe i have hurt some of u guys, the way i talk, please don't keep it at heart.
Of course, i would try to do something about that.

It was 6:30 in the evening, and i was driving with my dad sitting upright, clinging to the handrails, and scowling under his breath at my seemingly pathetic driving skills. We were heading towards the Palace of the Golden Horses (PGH), where the dinner would take place.

How my dad got the invitation, i do not know (i couldn't bothered to ask). Both my parents thought it would be "good education" for me, so instead of the usual 'mum and dad going out for dinner and me staying at home with my brother wrecking down the house', they decided to let me go with my dad.

There was supposed to be a talk, so i thought it would be a big event, like the last one i went with my dad, with fashion shows and sorts. But when we finally found the place after walking through a maze in the PGH, i was utterly disappointed to find a small room with only a round table with ten seats. A man walked towards us and shook my dad's hand, then he turned to me, shook mine, and asked who i was. I didn't know how to introduce myself (it wouldn't be appropriate to say, hello i am he xin, would it? i mean, he wouldn't even bothered to remember right?). Luckily my dad came to my rescue. "She my daughter." There. Done.

A few more people arrive, and all started to exchange name cards. Everything was very formal, and i tried to put on my best and smiled to everyone, even though i started to think, what the hell am i doing here, a rebellious teen with a bunch of business people? I started to understand why most rich kids turn rebellious. With all the tension in the air, i couldn't help but act like one
too.

It wasn't until 7:30 that all of them finally arrive, and the man who asked my name started to give his presentation. Halfway through the speech, i finally begun to understand what a fund manager is and why we were there. To cut it short, he was persuading us (actually it's just my dad, and another two business owners, as the others were the fund manager's dealers) to hand over our money to him to "invest" in the stock market.

The food finally came at eight thirty. It was a Chinese restaurant, yet everything came in plates served individually. Appetizer, shark fin soup, oyster, ostrich, prawns, fish and all sorts were served. Frankly, it made me feel like becoming a vegetarian. I mean, i appreciate it as everything was made with extra 'fineness', but i could have enjoyed a Char Koay Teow much more. At least i don't have to eat without talking and making no noise with the cutlery.

I spent most of my time staring blankly at them, nodding once or twice, imagining what they are like at home. I noticed that most of the fund managers and dealers or whatever were rather uneasy, trying to behave in good manner while the other two bosses (which are their potential clients) were being boss-like, ever so skeptical, full of themselves, and shooting many questions to the fund manager. My dad, on the other hand, was rather laid-back. Even the FM paid not much attention to him. I guess he knew than it's a waste of time to talk someone much more experience than him to hand over his assets.

He seem to have more interest in me though. After hearing me saying i wanted to study economics, he took it as a personal interest to dissuade me, saying he was tricked into studying that subject and find it useless.

All in all, it was an extremely uncomfortable dinner, it made my mood go all the way to the floor ( plus the fact that i did very badly in my stupid AS economics exam in the morning), and i hope i would never be the one giving that kind of presentation in the future.

Stretching experience

Posted in

The room was dimly lit, mildly scented with a detergent-like smell, and almost empty except for mats spread on the otherwise bare floor. Walking into the room, I suddenly felt self-conscious, walking extra careful so as not to trip in front of the many eyes fixed upon me. Even though there is no age limit to this activity, I hastily sneaked a glance around the room, looking or another person close to the age of mine. To my relief, I found a few even more nervous-looking people around me.

I wasn’t going there alone, neither is it an idea of mine to go there. My mother chosen to sit in front, so I followed suit. It was then that I noticed that the entire wall in front of me is hidden behind a large mirror. My mum grunted,” why is the mirror not made to reflect a slimmer figure of me?”
When I turned to look in front I noticed that the instructor had already come in. She didn’t look like those I-can-lift-a-truck kind of instructor to me, in fact, she couldn’t have been more than 28. Call me narrow minded, but I have always thought that Yoga= Old people teaching old people + everybody wishing to stay young but effectiveness unknown.

To cut it short, the stretching was almost unbearable to me. Let alone for my mum, who has never stretched a single muscle in her life. Surprisingly, my dad, (okay, I admit it, I wasn’t paying much attention to my pose, but rather to the people around me) was doing quite well, guess the mountain climbing is working well for him. Whenever there’s a uh-so-impossible-pose required from us, the whole class tried, fell on the mat, and erupted in a painful laugh. Of course, there were people who had attended a few more classes before that, so they were busily showing off what they could do that we newbies couldn’t.

The part where I enjoyed most was when the instructor asked us to lie down with our eyes closed. I drifted off. (Hopefully I didn’t drool. Yikes,) All in all, the lesson was way tougher than I thought, leaving me aching all over for a few days after.

Sorry for the long absence of post. It's because i was really sick for the past whole week.

On Wednesday i woke up feeling horribly sick, and decided to stay at home. Good thing i did too, because by noon i began to shake uncontrollably and felt all my bones at the edge of breaking. At some point i could not even see properly, everything was clouded and blur. I remember the last time i ever come close to this was 2 years ago before my year-end exam. Anyway, everything's okay now, exept the irritating lack of voice and sorethroat.( I could only whisper loudly into the phone when my friends call.-Actually it sounded more like me -breathing- into the phone loudly. Haha)

Yesterday i went to Michael Wong's concert. That was the first time i ever went to a concert like that. I mean, excluing all those Orchestras and school concert, it's my first. It was at Bukit Jalil, and we arrived there at about 7. After wolfing down our McD's, (I went with my family), we went into the stadium. Its a waste we didn't try to sneak in our camera, the bag checking system wasn't as tight as we thought.

We had a VIP ticket, so our seat was about the 12 row from the front. Don't ask me how i got the ticket, but obviously we didn't buy. (It cost a hefty Rm232 per ticket) There's a Shanghai group of fans, from Michael International Fan Club or something like that, who stole all the lime light for the day(Of course, Michale Wong won it all back after that). They were all wearing white shirts, brought a big Michael poster and glittering boards with "Guang Liang" on it. All of them were shouting at the tiniest sound from the stage before the concert even started. Sad to say, we Malaysians, even though we made up more than 70% of the crowd, are less enthusiastic.

The concert was okay. I mean, i only know a handful of songs in his album, so, at some point it was a little boring for me. Most of the time he just walked around the stage and sang, without much dancing because ALL the songs have a slow pace (i think). Anyway, after a short Encore, we left, leaving the ShangHai-nese grumbling because they wanted another Encore.

My brother recorded the whole concert. But i guess it's no point posting it up here because you can't really hear his voice over the screaming crowd and you only get to see the image when my brother dare to hold up his phone after looking around for any sign of the securities, which also means "seldom".

Anyway, i got to go finish my math paper. Ciao.

BirThdaY SurPrise

18 years ago, on 2nd of September, my mother gave birth to a baby girl. 18 years passed by, and yesterday, on 2nd sept 06, she had a biggest surprise ever on her birthday.

Yesterday morning, I woke up feeling extraordinarily normal. It was my birthday… nothing special. Then when I went downstairs to get a banana for breakfast, my mother asked me where I wanted to go for lunch. Then she suggested going to KLCC, and I thought, why not? Let’s try the Thai food. Off we go, with my dad driving and my family packed behind. I couldn’t really remember the name of the restaurant, I think it has a “Palace” in it. When we went in, I knew it would cost a big hole in my dad’s wallet as only a few customers were there eating and it was lunch hour in KLCC.

We ordered an appetizer, and 4 main course. The appetizer was really special. It is sort of a leaf (fresh and uncooked), and you are supposed to put on some sauce, peanut, ginger, onion, chili, lemon (slices of lemon with its skin), and some other stuff I couldn’t identify. Then came the main dishes, most of which, is really spicy. My dad, thought he was real good at eating chili, ate a whole mouthful of green chili padi and couldn’t talk for fifteen minutes. My brother, accidentally ate some chili padi, kept repeating how hot it is and how the taste went up to his ears and all… Then the desserts. It was ok but I don’t really fancy it as it was made up of coconut. All in all, the meal was great. (And hot.)

After that we went and looked around, (my mum ended up buying a thousand ringgit worth of pillow case, bed sheet, pillows…with my brother grumbling beside her. Thanks to the salesman.) and finally got home at around 4. At about 5, Kit Loong called and then we went out to “jog”.

Of course we didn’t manage to jog as it was still drizzling. So we went up to “little genting” instead. I was sitting in the car when he went to the car booth and took out a small cake. Then we went up to the cliff. He put on a candle and sang a birthday song to me. I was really happy as it was the most –a word here- thing he did. Even more surprisingly, when we returned to the car, he took out a –some text missing- and gave it to me. I was really touched.

On our way back, his cell phone rang. He said it’s his mother calling and asking him to go home for awhile to take something. I waited in the car and when he got back, he handed me a present. – text missing again-. It was really very nice, thank you.

Then when we go home, I told him I would try to make it quick (I thought my aunt would be coming over and we would be celebrating with them) and then we could go out at around 9. When we passed by my house to stop under the trees, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Who are those people standing on my garden? And what is Juen Terng doing at my house?! I was caught off my guard and I sat in the car, refusing to come down until Kitloong practically dragged me out. When I finally went into the house, I saw a lot of familiar faces greeting me with a birthday song. With my mind totally blank, I uttered a thank you and went up to bathe quickly.

It was when I went down that I finally registered into my mind who was at my surprise party. The old 5sc1 gang! As SKY explained the details of their plan to me, I was busy receiving presents from them. It was only then that I realize my brother, my mum, Kitloong and of course, SKY was the mastermind behind this plan. Thank you very very much.

Of course, I would also like to thank all of those who make their time and effort to come to my surprise birthday party. To list here: Sky, Kit Loong, Pei Yei, Zheng Ling, Ester, Jian Xuan, Dominic, Yet Zi, Kam Hei, Shim Hwa, Siew Yen, Carrie, Johan, Wei-I, Wei-Li, Sze Ying, Pei Pei, Elwin, Seng Loong, Shiuh Feng, Meng Yue, Wai Fai, Wei Zhong, Aih Sheng, Julian, Yuan Ruh, Juen Terng, Chun Wah, and a new guy I couldn’t remember his name.

I hope I didn’t miss out anyone. Thank you for coming. Hope u all had a nice time there. I knew I had.
***Would Add pictures soon.

Perfect lover

Hmm.... A perfect guy would be...
-caring but not demanding
-gentle but not too soft or clingy
-always let's you to have a say but knows when he should make a decision
-able to make you smile even when you are down
-someone who waits for you instead of you always waiting for him (in long-term relationship)
-calls you back even if you hang up on him
-detailed and knows what you wants
-knows what he wants in life and work hard for it
-someone that can make you act exactly like yourself and not pretend to be someone you are not!
-and of course, someones who treats you the same and showers you will love and affection even if you have been together for 100 years.

*to add to the perfection, he could also be
-friendly to everyone (not just you!)
-good-looking
-humble
-rich!! ($$$$$ adds the fun)

To be fair, this could be applied to girls as well...*grins

Of Graphs And Madness

Posted in

I am so pissed off by my economics lecturer that I couldn’t help but blog about it here. Yesterday, she taught us some graphs, as usual, it’s actually a quite simple graph (revenue and cost curves for price discrimination), but she manage to make it sound extra complicated that no-one really gets what she meant, again, as usual.

Well, what’s worse is, after she let us go early to prepare for the Tony Fernandes’s talk, some of my friends circle around her and ask her a few questions about the graph. So, out of curiosity, I joined them. I began to understand what they are arguing with her, so I joined in and tried to tell her that, -if I am not mistaken because my knowledge about the graph is somewhat limited to what she just taught earlier-, the point on her graph is wrong.

AS USUAL, she looked at us like we are EXTRA dumb and explain what we already understand to us. So we started EXPLAINing back to her why we think her point is wrong. It ended up in some kind of “duck talking to chicken” discussion, and the discussion ended by us surrendering in frustration with a,“ yes miss, we understand.” (As usual too, it happens to me all the time when I am talking to her. Am I really that bad in economics? )

Okay, that wasn’t all. Today, I was late to her class because I was in the library with a few of my friends. Once I got in, Shin Yi waved her hands frantically and mouthed out something I couldn’t understand.

When I approached her, she said,
“ Miss xxx says, whoever haven’t done their presentation, would be given a whole NEW TOPIC to present.”
When Annjoe asked, “Why?”
She answered simply,

“They didn’t volunteer.”

WHAT?!!! You mad cow! I was dying to go out and get over it quickly. You are the one who came in, teach, prepare to leave, and said, “opps, sorry I forgot about the presentation, remind me tomoro.”

I was so angry I didn’t want to talk to her anymore.

Does anybody know who on earth is Tony Fernandes? I bet most of you would have heard about him. In case you still have no idea about him, he's the one providing us cheap or even FREE airlines across Malaysia, and yes, he's the CEO (owner) of AIR ASIA. The big thing today is, he came to our college! (Yeah! We skipped acounting and economics class because of his talk!)
It was supposed to be held in Lecture Theater 1. However, the lecture hall was so packed (students were actually sitting on the floor and teachers were standing at the back) that lecture hall 2 was used to fill in all other students, (i was one of them). We, late comers, were to go through the whole talk watching a video cam projected on a big screen. Even the second hall was quickly filled up, leaving all other students no chance but to go back to class. *wink. No wonder Mr Teoh, our Moral Education lecturer was so pissed off, his class, held at the same old LT 2, was never as packed!

Well, to tell you the truth, i didn't expect him(Tony F.) to be the 'him' we saw today. It's totally unexpected. I mean, he's the CEO of the most popular air line in Malaysia! Everyone would think that, as a CEO of a company, he would be a serious man, calculating profits and strategy to kick off new competitors all the while. Maybe not for you, but i most certainly did. Hmm, his appearance is quite normal, a bit short and a bit round in the middle, but he's humourous. He jokes a lot (ya, some jokes are about MAS airlines), and he's really someone who has a lot of ideas. (No wonder he could take-over AIR ASIA at RM1!) What's truly amazing is, he's actually a full-time musician before that!

He talked about his life before going into air asia, how he bought over air asia at just one ringgit, (he actually got two partners, one of them is Roslan Aziz, the judge in Malaysian Idol), his story about meeting Tun Mahathir to get the air-line lisence, and the way he manage his company right now. He also taught us, "young entrepreneurs"-the way he addressed us, lessons on what to do and what not to do to maintain a business. He put it in a way that, we would feel, hey, managing an air-line is not that difficult after all!

Aha, that's him!


*His the youndest CEO in Malaysia if i am not mistaken.

He really is witty man. He came to gave us a talk, and everyone will be humming,"air asia, air asia" for a few days, so he automatically became his company's live advertisement. Clever, isn't he?

I cut my finger!
That day my mum asked me to cut fruits, so i took out the thing u use to peel off the skin of the fruits (the thing with two blades), and started peeling off the skin. After two "expert" movements of cutting, i peel off my own skin! The blade went right into my finger and peel out the flesh! making it look like the, you know, part which moves when fish breathes.

Instantly it started to bleed and i quickly washed the wound and pressed on it hard. I had to sit down because i feltaint. After dressing up the wound, i had to hold my hand up high so that it wouldnt bleed that much. Suddenly, i became aware of how tired the statue of liberty feels holding her hands up high all day long. -.-"

Shock...

That day, my friend told me that one of her friend just met a car accident. Then she asked me, how would you feel when one of your good friends suddenly die? I was taken aback when she asked that, so i said, never thought of it before, shock gua.....
Then she told me, he passed away....

OMG
Up until today, i only got to know that, the guy she referred to was her ex. And today "chu bin". Now i got really shock. That would explain why she's acting a bit weird today.

I seriously don't know how i would feel. Anyway, i realised that driving is indeed very "life-threatening", and, life's full of unexpected twist. So.... apprieciate what you have. haha.

If i were to skip LAN on wednesday, i would be able to go home at 12noon!!! Haha. Since i still got a clean record (i havent ponteng Moral Studies yet, meaning i can skip about 3 times), i've decided to skip Moral lessons today, which is a double period.

I ended up driving alone to school today, cause i need my car to get home earlier! In the morning when my eyes are not fully open and half of my brain malfunctioning, i drove to school. Maybe because i drove a bit earlier or that everyone decided not to be on the road at that time in the morning, there are 0.01% fewer cars on the road today. I didn't know what i was doing, i just thought, i wanna get to school early, so i stepped on the accelerator, hard.

110, 120, 130......160! I didnt's notice that i was going that fast, (ok, for some of you, mayb that is normal speed, but for me, a lousy and clumsy driver, that's fast), i just knew that all the cars in front of me kept going into the middle lane to let me pass. Then i realise that my car were starting to shake and the steering were moving left and right in my hand that i believe if i let go the the steering, the car would spin. Then when my car slowed down a little, i sneaked a look at my speedometer. 160km/h! What did i think i was doing?

Then all of a sudden, i reached the second toll already. I begin fumbling for my purse which fell to the floor next to me to get the Touch n Go card, so I didn’t realise that my car was nearing the toll a bit too fast. I braked just in time but found out that I was too far from the machine. Feeling stupid, I opened my car door and tried to reach it. Still nowhere near. In the end I had to take off my seat belt to touch the card with the machine, that’s when my purse fell out of my lap. WhaT?!! Getting out of my car and reaching for my purse on the floor which was UNDER my car was so embarrassing that I couldn’t get myself to look at the LONG line of cars behind me. So much for trying to reach college early.

Well, I still managed to reach college 15 minutes earlier than usual. The next stupid thing that I do was when I pay for the parking spot. Guess I was still shock or embarrassed by the incident on the road, I honestly didn’t know what I was doing. Remember I told u that the main reason I drove to school alone today was that I could go home earlier? I seemed to forget all about it at that time and I kept putting my coins into the meter until I suddenly realized that I put in enough coins to last till 5pm!

I got nagged by Kit Loong back here. “150?! Very funny ar?! You could’ve died!”

I didn’t know how my brother got to know about that but, when he heard about that., he said, “you know what will happen when you crash at the speed of 160? The back of your car would smashed against the front part of your car, making it look like a thin piece of pan-cake with you sandwiched in between."

-.-"

I duno what I am doing, this two weeks, I’ve been spending money as if it’s plain water! If I were to change all the money spent into RM1 notes, I would be taking out one note from my pocket every waking minute! Anyway, to curb this devastating problem, I started taking note of what I spend on. Haha.

Oh ya, we got our Moral education lecturer changed. It’s back to Mr teoh! Yeah! Not that I really like the guy but, if compared to the lecturer we had earlier on, well, at least he acknowledge the fact that his teaching is really extremely boring so he let us sleep in class! Wink*

Talking about Moral, we just finish doing our survey on irritating Malaysian mannerism, and we’re now working on interpreting the data and doing ‘primary research’- this is a word learnt from Business Studies. “ haha, at least I didn’t waste my time going for business class!”

Oh, Italy won the World Cup. I don’t think I should post this here as everyone on earth would have known this already. Anyway, too bad Germany couldn’t get into the finals. I secretly hoped that the finals would be Germany vs England. Haha.Supporting all the leng zhai’s. That’s me! Oh, there’re rumours going on that there would be a rematch for the final, and that they are considering to withdraw the award given to Zizou. Personally I think that withdrawing the award is still possible, but a rematch?!! No way.

It’s a long time since I watch F1. Michael S. won today, with Alonso 2nd and Massa third. This closes the gap between Alonso and Michael on the championship title. Mathematically, it is possible for Michael to overtake Alonso, however, with, uh, how many match more? Talk about being optimistic.

So, with world cup season over, passion for F1 faded, and everyone busy studying in different colleges/schools, there’s nothing left to distract my mind of my own boring textbooks…..

*Sorry about the photos that I was supposed to post up here, you won’t believe, but when I were about to load it, my computer got hare wire and I got it reformatted a-g-a-i-n….. duh.

I just dropped my business studies. Because of this, suddenly i find myself having a lot of free period between classes. I went to my friends apartment and watched a movie series of Detective Conan... Haha, talk about wasting time.
Uh, yesterday when i got home, i felt insecure about dropping business so i went n check the entry requirements of a few universities again, and, OMG, they require a minimum of 4 subjects to enter some of the good uni. This morning, i quickly rush to the Taylor's Placement Center n CAL office and talk with the counselors there, and guess what, phew, Thinkings Skills is counted as 1 subject so i m safe! Sorry Christine, i scared u... haha.
So many Crabbies in our class! After a lot of planning n delaying, our class went to Sunway and celebrated 4 of our friends' birthday-- Shin yi, Mae ann, Chok, and Annjoe. When we reach there, we couldnt find a parking, everywhere is full! So, in the end i had to turn round and round and race for a parkin spot. -.-"
Even in Sunway, a lot of the restaurants are too small to fit in all 18 of us. In the end we went to Chicken Buffet. Hmm, the place is quite okay, because u get to eat chickens cooked in different style, grilled, friends, spicy... And you get to eat salads and other stuffs. The price is quite okay too, its Rm14.4 each. I didnt eat much though, because we were too busy taking photos. Haha. Should go there another time.
I guess it's because different people from different places have got varying style of doing things. Some one my friends, they make fun of others and they are like, "give me the camera," - then they grab it from the owners hands. I duno, i sensed some uneasiness today among a few of them. After analysing a few of their behavior, i realised that, people from KL will treat others with more respect (or u can call that- distance) than those from outskirt... as they tend to have a closer relationship than the KLrians, (which might be the cause of them being more straight-forward to others). Honestly, i got a bit annoyed too, with the way they reacted, kinda lame. But,.... no other comments.
I duno if everyone had a great day today, hope no ill-feelings arises from this event. ANyway, Happie Birthdays, all the June-July Crabbies...

After finishing the Frog Prince series, i've heard that the same actors are in the series, "The magicians of Love", which is aired at 7pm, mon-fri, 8tv. As i have nothing more exciting to do, i decided to give it a try.
Actually, i forgot all about watching the series yesterday, which was the first episode. But i thought, nevermind, i would be watching it today. So, at 7pm, i switched on the tv, only to discover that there's something wrong with the TV as there were no sound. So, i checked the remote control, to see whether the MUTE button was accidently pressed or not. I tried every button that i thought would affect the sound system, and tried all 3 remote control. Still no sound. Then i went under the TV to see if there were any connection error. To be honest, i don't really know if the wires were connected correctly or not, since it's a new TV and i am not that familiar with the connections, so, for the time being, i would assume that they were connected correstly.
Then i went upstairs to see if i could watch the show with the other smaller TV instead. However, that TV is not connected through ASTRO so eventhough i could hear the sound from the TV, i could not see the image. All i see were blurred colours and lines.
Frustrated, i went back to the useless plasma TV and watch the episode reading the Subtitle while watching the actors and actresses waving here and there soundlessly. Finally, the episode for the day ended and when i wanted to switch off the TV, my brother asked, "jie, you check the TV and see, i think there's something wrong with the TV as all three channel, ("TV"- straight from satelite, "AV"- through Astro and, "SURS"- connect to Video player) connect to the TV and none connect to Video player.
So, i pressed the button and check. When i press AV, boom! The sound roared into my ears. I was so angry at myself as i have been stupid enough to watch the soundless TV for one whole hour when there's actually nothing wrong with the TV at all!

5sc1 Gathering

Posted in

It's a long time since 5sc1 2005 have had a big gathering so i've decided to ask everyone to come around and meet up....

At about 4pm on that day, Kit loong and I went to the place to book for a table. As there would be a football match at that time, and they were going to celebrate Zheng Ling's birthday, we decided to book the outdoor table facing the TV screen, instead of the air-con room the waiter suggested.

Actually I just sms someone from each school telling them about this gathering and hope for the best. I really thought that probably there would be at most 7 or 8 of us coming. But when i reach the place, already 20 members were standing there! Such a surprise!

Everyone was happy and busy chatting with 'long lost' friends and taking photo's with each other.

Hmm.... 've just finish reading the Da VinCe Code, which, if i remember correctly, i started reading since last year. (just too busy, hehe). Anyway, i've finally finished reading, and, i would have to say that Dan Brown is really awesome! I bet he spent a lot of his time doing research on Christianity and paganism. Although there might be some fact which is wrong, but honestly, he's really a good writer.

My grandma just came back from her hometown in Segamat, and she brought back a TV series, Wh3n @ PrnCe b3came @ Fr0g. As i have nothing else to do, i've spent my last two days watching the tv series with her. Well, it's a love story between a 'kampung' girl and a 'bandar' boy. It's so full of drama which makes me wonder if there's anything like dat in our real world. I wouldnt recommend this series to anyone who's, er, less than romantic , but, if u have a lot of time to kill or need some inspiration for your love life, that's a show u could watch.

*** MR. ELWIN TOO: keep out!!!***
Yeah! Finally it's holidays. No more waking up in the wee hours. No more torturing trips to school. And most importantly, no more EXAMS!!! Well, i didnt do realy well for my exams. Guess it's just an okay paper for me. Anyway, the exam result will be out next week (so fast?! SPM results take 3 months!), and, there's nothing more i can do.

After the exam, Lingxia, Christine, Mae Ann, Sandy, Chok and I went to Sunway and watch Over the Hedge. Err, the movie's all about f-o-o-d. It also portrays how we humans treat the poor animals... I would says it's an Okay movie.

Now that holidays started, i do not really know what to do with all the extra time. And.... i am getting bored. Haha. Any suggestions?

Cham lo... Our uncle, Sze ying's dad, who is fetching us to school everyday has just decided that taxi-driving is insufficient to earn an income for the family. So, out of the blue, he said he would be selling off his taxi and ask us to find our own means of transport to school starting from next month, which is only one week away!!! What?!!! How am i going to college then? I can't drive... =( haha... I cant manage parking... (shh....)
Another thing is... That day when i was at the Segar pasar malam with Kit Loong, i sms-ed my father n asked him to fetch me home... N somehow i got so distracted that i didn't realise he was in the car at the end of the junction waiting for me. So, he saw me with him walking together.... Duh. I was just too careless. So now i just got a lecture from my dad, and he suggested that mayb i should just move to the apartments near Taylor's College so as to solve the transport problem... (underlying line is that: he wants to keep me away from Kit loong)... Argh, he's chasing me away... sob sob... Hehe.... I m thinking about it....

Wow, times flies, doesn't it? It's already five months since i've became a Taylorian. We would be having our AS exam in October. Suddenly, it felt as if i would be sitting for SPM all over again. And now's already end of May. Gosh, did i prepare at all? Honestly, i am still in the commencement of semester mood. Haha.

Hmm, five months here and i somehow still feel a bit alienated. I mean, i have friends alright, but somehow, they are not like friends from Connaught. It doesn't feel like 5sc1. One incident which i don't understand is, that day, a guy from our class said he would spend the whole class on pizza as the Econs teacher was absent. So, when my clique of friends asked where should we have lunch, i just said pizza, and then she said," what? pizza? we would bump into our class friends, no." i was like, huh? why cant we bump into them? but of course i didnt say it out aloud, i jump feel sad cause i dont understand why they like to differentiate themselves from others in our class. Sometimes i envy Kam Hei cause his class is always having group outings and they are somehow so united, and then i remember my previous class in Connaught, then i feel like i am Hum Soon Lee, which in fact i m acting like him now. Sometimes i just feel like turning around and and just mix around in our class, but, it would be bad right? to betray them like that, (which, i wont.) what if all 8 of them suddenly shut me out completely. Duh, guess i just have to go to school, study, and be home. "Socialising" would have to wait.

But i manage to get there though it rained rather heavily. My grandma, bought a lot of irish chocolates, and some souveniors back for us. I got a shamrock necklace (the display picture) from her, and two T-shirts with the word, "tackle me", and "i've scored again" on it (duh, do i really gonna wear it?!).

Nothing much today. I am really tired due to lack of sleep yesterday and the long drive today. So.. that's all for today.

This post is kinda out-of-date actually, cause the event happened last last saturday. But i would regard it as a special family outing, so... here it is.

That evening (around 6), sitting at the driver's seat in my Honda CRV, i drove my dad and mum to Sciencematics Tuition Centre to pick up my brother. Then we went on the mission to seek for a place where fondues are served. At that point of time, the name of the restorant is unknowned to us, the location- unknowned. My mum said she recalled seeing this article about this place in the press about a year ago, and that it is somewhere in bangsar. So, there we go, on a mission searching for an unknown.

We went around Sri Hartamas in Bangsar, Damansara Utama, Damansara Height, and all other scattered place in Damansara. After about 2 hours of driving around, we were all starved and exhausted. So we went to a nearby McD to get a burger for the whole family to fill in some part of our empty stomach before continuing our search. Upon gobbling down the pitifully tiny burger (it appeared tiny as we awere all capable of eating an elephant at that time), we were still hungry so we went to the next restaurant, KFC, for another burger.

I guess we all felt that it was hopeless to search for the place with so many unknown (scientifically knowned as variables), so i sms-ed Wei-I to get some clue from her as i saw from the twins/ beatrice blog (i forgot who) that they went to that place some time ago. Unfortunately, Wei-I is having a vacation in, uhh, Rompin, if i am not mistaken, so she couldnt get the exact address for me. She asked around for her friends for some landmarks to help in our search. So, off we went, around Damansara Height in search for Bank, Coffee Bean, and a Kickboxing centre (the landmarks that Wei-I told us). After about another hour of fruitless searching, Wei-I finally got the address for us, which indicates that the place, namely, Fondue House, is actually in Sri Hartamas, the first place that we went to search in. Finally, after passing the same highway for the umpteenth time, we went all the way back to Sri Hartamas and found the place at last.

To our dismay, there's a long queue for seats there as it is a Saturday and half of the place was occupied for a birthday party. After another hour of wait, at around 10 pm, the manager manage to squeeze out a tiny table for the four of us. We ordered a Cheese fondue with seafood and a chocolate fondue with fruits and cakes. After the first bite, we forgot all about the hassle in getting to that place. It had such a fulfilling taste that we all craved for more.

To cut short, these are a few pictures to illustrate the fondues:

THE FONDUE HOUSE::



That's us enjoying the delicacy::






Romantic. No?


For anyone who wish to go to that place, here's the address:
5, plaza prisma ville, jalan 26a/70a, desa sri hartamas, 50480, kl.

Yeah! It's holidayz finally, after 3 months of, ahem, torture in college.

Regarding the JPA scholarship interview, there were -A LOT- of people who went. Early in the morning, I woke up and got dressed in the bought-last-minute,-very-formal,-like-auntie-clothes. Then my dad drove me to the interview place which is in SHAH ALAM. God knows how many hours we spent turning here and there in search of that stupid place called UITM. There were so many round-a-bouts that we heaved a sigh of relief when we finally reach UITM main campus in section 7 or something. Luckily my dad had the instinct to ask the guard where the interview place is, cause we found out that we were at the WRONG campus! The guard told us that, we had to go out, turn right, take the 3 o'clock turn for 3 round-a-bouts that we see. By the time we were really running late and could not afford to make any more mistakes. Well, we finally reach the right place at 8am, after turning one right turn for the 1st roundabout, GO STRAIGHT for the 2nd, and right for the 3rd... guess the guard didnt really know his way around too. Duh.

I went into the toilet there just to find out that there was a water shortage there and there's no water in the toilet. So i dropped the idea and went straight into the hall. We were given a briefing and had to do a 300 MCQ test before finally reaching the interview part. I was among the second group of 12 to go in for the dreaded interview, so we had time to mix around and get to know some friends. All were nervous and most had problem getting there as the road signs was confusing. Here's an interesting part: The boy sitting beside me was from Taylor's also! Problem is, in my applicatiom form, i wrote that i am NOT studying currently so i couldnt afford to let anyone there know that i actually AM studying as i was afraid that they will contradict me inside. So i had to tell the guy that i am not studying now even though he said i look familiar to him! Haha. What a shame! He's cute and look promising. Too bad...

The interview itself was okay. The guy told us to introduce ourselves and gave us two topic to discuss among us candidates. One in english and the other in Malay. Hmm, guess the interviewer didnt really like what we discussed cause he commented that we should change our way of thinking. Ha!

Whether i get the scholarship or not, is out of my hand now. Guess i shall just study hard and hope for the best!

ON THE ROAD

If u havent got your lisence, you would be anticipating to drive. But once you finally got it and get to drive around, some would think twice before saying he/she like to drive. I, for one, would prefer not to drive. It's not that i havent been driving around, i have been driving, at most, to my school in Subang, and to places like Klcc, sg wang and all, but i still got a shock after narrowly miss hitting a lady with a child back in Taman Segar. She was, if not a better word, a BLUR CASE. You would think that a mother with 2 children at a junstion of the road would be carefull. But she was totally the opposite. I saw her at the road side from far, even my mum warned me so. she was facing in front so i could see from the back that she was picking up one of her younger child so i never gave it a thought that she would just pick up her child, turn -90 degrees- and cross the road without looking if there's any car moving by. What a brainless git. Luckily i stopped in time so i think i only knock the woman's arm with my car mirror. And yet she turned and scrowled at me! I shunned to think what would happen if i was stepping on the accelerator at that moment. A rough guess is i would be at the nearest hospital filling up a form with a police officer scrutinising me.

So, you people who's driving, be carefull and anticipate anything that could happen on the road.

I was shortlisted to go for an interview for the JPA scholarship on the 5th April 2006, 8am, at Shah Alam. Before that, i hoped beyond hope that i would get a chance like this, and was a whole lot more confident that if given the chance, i might pull through the interview smoothly. Well, not now definitely. I shun thinking about it because, everytime i thought about it, i got really nervous. Come to think of it, i didnt really want to get that scholarship because i was forced to apply for actuarial science as i am not eligible to take Econonics because i did not take up that subject in SPM; and i did not really want to study actuarial science. I have to do a lot of preparations for that interview, but with just a few days? How could i improve?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This few days, I am quite unhappy with myself. Just now, i took a look at my friends' blog. She was so close with her family, i actually envied her. How i wish i could be that open with my family like her. It's not my family's fault. It's me. I do not know why, but i couldnt bring myself to express myself, to tell others what i like, what i dont... I couldnt bear to let anyone understand me at all because i would somehow feel vulnerable, and everytime i told someone, anyone, a secret or simply something about myself, i feel like crying. The guy i am with right now, he said i kept too much secret in me, he could feel how "compressed (if not a better word)" i am, and that it 'hurt' him to see me in that state. He worked very hard to get me to open up to him, and everytime he did, i ended up in an emotional-trubulence kinda state. Sometimes, i felt that i am such a fake person that i couldnt even be true to myself.

SAM charity drive
Today at Taylor's College, stalls were set up by the SAM students in Taylor's College to raise funds for the orphanage and old folks home. There were a lot of cool stuffs going on. For instance, there is this somewhat big cage where underneath it was a big pool of water. For every Rm5 u pay u get o throw 3 tennis balls. U try to hit the bullseye situated in the cage. If u succeed, the plank connected to the bullseye will fall sideways and the person sitting on the plank will fall into the pool. Cool, no? Haha. A lot of the teachers and administrators were tricked into sitting on the plank (they will get rm30 if they sit on it and fall into the water!), while we students get the golden chance of our life to throw the tennis balls to make them fall! Haha, there were alot of ooh's and ahh's everytime the tennis ball nearly hit the bullseye. There was one admin staff who, after being hit, held on to the cage and REFUSE to fall! It was after she was hit trice that she finally gave in and splashed into the pool. Bravo! Haha, she recieved the loudest clap ever.

Of course, there were a lot of other games, like futsal (the second most popular game, where there were a lot of people watching too), and treasure hunt, where u will get a grand prize of RM300 if u manage to spot the treasure. (Well, my guess was the 8th closest to the actual spot, so i dont get any prize because only the nearest 5 will get one, *sob sob)... Anyway, a lot of us had a fun time. Congratulations to all the party involved!

Its been three months since I first stepped into my college life. For the first few weeks, I've given a lot of thought into what i wanna be in the future, and what course should i take now. That, maybe, is the reason why I switched classes everyday, (well, i almost switched to HELP institute too). But after all that, I kinda settle down for the time being.

Hmm, for those who've gone to NS, wei-li, jian xian, seng loong.... well, wish u all good luck, and have fun with getting tanned and physically 'tortured'.

These are a few photos captured recently.

clockwise from top left- Christine, LingSia, Me, Shin Yi and Sze Mei. Actually, we have about 10 peeps, wonder why they all like to hide behind the camera? Haha, different culture, i guess.
VS
On the left is chok, a very funny guy. Right is tecminn, the very opposite of chok.

Both guys are so different that sometimes, it's very funny to listen to them talk. It's like they are from different channels all together. (ahem, this comment could be awarded the Understatement of The Year.) Well, just get to know them, you will know what i mean. *grins.

Back to my life, well, now that i've made my decision to stay in the arts stream, i've gotta work hard and strive for success (ahem ahem), well, wish me luck!
