WEEKLY COMMENTS :

Thisweek I was able to learn and understood how to use Action Script to performcertain task in Adobe Flash CS5. Action Script was made easy by using the CodeSnippets. It was fun to watch every group’s animation as every group was onlygiven few days to complete the animation, and we all worked hard to perform ourbest to come out with a good quality animation. Zkey was very supportivethroughout these two weeks, and I managed to learn a lot from this course.

Thank you Zkey Sir, I had a great time in your class and certainly learned a lot. It was fun and educational. Look forward to attend your class again if there's a chance. Hope you had a great time with us and also in Labuan =)

Pictures were taken at the beach in front of the campus. Beautiful sunset from Labuan.

pissed.

LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR BEFORE CALLING OTHERS NAME YOU 'S'!! MY DAY IS RUINED BECAUSE OF ONE SINGLE WORD!

recuperating.

2012-01-12T01:00:00.002+08:00

for the past few days, due to consecutive days of examination and out of food in my room on the wrong time, it caused me pain that i had never felt before. i only took main meals, and no food to snack on when i stayed up the whole night for 3 days, with only 2 hours sleep and no sleep even. i had gastric for staying up late, and i stupidly drank coffee with empty stomach to stay up. on the 3rd day i had a bad gastric, could not breathe properly, shivers and also headache.

2 days after the 3 tiring days, which was about 2 days ago, i suffer the consequences of sleepless night and gastric. i still have a mild fever and had a real bad gastric that i felt nausea, and could not eat, not to mention, unbearable pain on the stomach. doctor said, there was too much acid in my stomach. he also mentioned, coffee causes the stomach to release more acid. now you know why the act of taking coffee with empty stomach is a stupid thing to do. i had hard time to sleep with bloated stomach and pain attacking me every 10 to 15 minutes. it was an experience that i never want to go through again.

today, i feel better and appetite is coming back. now, when i feel tiny bit of hungriness in me, i will make sure there is something going into my stomach. and still recovering from the fever. despite suffering from a bad gastric, i learned that i have great friends around me who really cares for me. i am truly grateful to have them around me when i needed them most. real glad to have them as my friend. this experience, somehow opened up my mind and finally accept some truth that i denied subconsciously. well, hope i could recover real fast and get back on track to study for my 2 following papers.

lesson : make sure you have food all the time as back up!!! don't try gastric, it's not the new black. trust me. =)

in time.

2012-01-12T00:48:00.001+08:00

"time will prove many things." or "in time you will see..". well, now i do see what it means. when you are involved in a situation, you are blinded, by what you chooses to see. even the eyes deceive your mind even though the ugly truth is just right in front of you all these while. true how time prove many things, and you wish you could see it earlier. sadly, it takes a long time for people to get back to their senses, but that's just the process that everyone has to go through; to learn. sometimes, it is not worth the time at all, to be blinded, to the extent where you lose yourself.

the flower that i first thought was very beautiful and alluring, after looking at it for some time, it didn't seem as alluring and beautiful as i thought before.

blame.

2012-01-11T19:50:00.001+08:00

i hate the feeling when people blame you for things that they don't understand or things that are uncontrollable. probably they have no one to blame, or they simply just can't blame themselves.

for some reason God create everyone with no capabilities of mind reading. perhaps it's because of the term privacy and we can't be transparent with people that we are not close with. if only one person could understand you, and know what you are thinking. it would spare the time to explain all the mess and mistakes that you want to correct, or the proper term would be misunderstanding.

there has to be a reason why one act the way they act at that particular moment. something must have happened or someone must have done things that changed the way they act. that someone should stop making things worse and try to understand the cause of the situation instead of blaming it on others.

sometimes people expect much from you, and when they don't get what they want, they blame you. funny how people tend to blame people close to them. weird right. if you are blamed for something and you are not supposed to be blamed, just say it to his/her face "dude, it's not written in my job description!" urgh.

slippin' through my fingers.

2012-01-11T15:41:00.003+08:00

how would you feel when you know that you are losing a friendship that is very important to you? and no matter how much you hold on to it, it is slipping through your fingers. well, i guess that's because this friend does not want this friendship anymore. at this point i feel very disappointed and hurt because we were close and now we are absolutely nothing. i value this friendship, but within a single decision, this person could be cold-hearted and wipe clean everything as if this friendship never matters. action speaks louder than words. "wanna save this friendship" huh? does not feel like it at all. what hurt most, is that there's nothing i can do, and frankly, no matter how hurtful it is, i think i have to and would just play with it cause' there is no point for me to hold onto something that i value so much but mean nothing to this friend, i guess, if we are still friends. i will make it easy, by just leave. the pain is ....

Happy New Year!

2011-12-31T23:31:00.003+08:00

In about half an hour, 2012 will come. And here I am celebrating new year alone in my room, writing this entry, studying my slides, facebooking and downloading games to play. Sad to actually realize that I am actually pretty lonely here without a true close friend. Can't really seem to find one, and it has been a while since I last felt lonely like this. My 2011 is going to end in such pathetic way and I sure hope, that this negativity won't be brought forward to 2012. It's study week, and I sure can't focus on my studies, inputs are going in my brain slow.

I hope 30 minutes later today, in 2012, I will have my drive to study again, get good results, be happy and have a successful year 2012. :)

Happy New Year everyone. May you have a blessed and successful year 2012. :)

only time will tell

2011-11-27T22:35:00.001+08:00

It takes few minutes to know a person's name, and it takes years to really understand someone. true, only time will tell the characters of a person from within. lesson that i learned, never judge a book by it's cover. there's this term that I learned in Human Interaction and Internet Technology, which is WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). well, it certainly don't apply to human. what we see on the surface, may not be the truth that you thought it was.

why do we have to take such a long time to see a person's true color or how ugly the truth is. It makes people feel stupid, for wasting so much time on believing things that in the end, is not what you think it was and that it is something else; something that makes you sad; something that makes you feel like you got a slap on the face.

sigh.

Script Writing and Storyboarding Workshop by FINAS

2011-11-12T00:20:00.001+08:00

For the last 2 days, we Multimedia Students had a workshop organized by our school and also FINAS (Perbadanan Kemajuan Filem Nasional Malaysia) on Scripting and Storyboarding. Personally, it was an inspiring workshop to me, as the speaker for the workshop is an interesting, generous and successful person in the multimedia industry and has definitely inspired me to love art and drawing. ♥

The name is Mr Abdul Rahman Sallehudin He taught us how to draw live, and guided us on what is involved in script writing. His drawings are remarkable that I wish i too know how to draw like him. He has made me love my course even more. We learned so much from him and he gave us great advises. He also managed to show us a few of the animations created by his company. It is really good. They are currently working on a movie production and it will be on screen on 2013. Lucky us, we all get to see a few of the scenes. His talk weren't boring at all, and at one point, there were tears involved.

On Thursday night, he treated all of us who were involve in the workshop, including Mr Ryan Andrias with his family and Pn Nooraisyah with Mr Ahmad Rizal, along with people from FINAS for a dinner at Anjung Ketam. It was the first time I had seafood in Labuan, and it is all thanks to Mr Rahman for being so kind and it made us all really happy. I had a lot of fun with my course mates, and it was also the first time we went out with almost everyone in our course. It was Anass's birthday yesterday and we all sang her a birthday song. We sang a lot a lot of times! :)

Mr Rahman also taught us how to do our storyboard and how to work with camera. He also bought a cake and chocolate for Anass for her birthday yesterday. How surprising! And we all got chocolates too! and certificates! :) But that was not the highlight of this workshop. For me, from this workshop, I learned that I love the course that I chose and Mr Rahman inspires me to work hard and to love arts. Thank you Mr Rahman and thank you to Mr Ryan and Mdm Nooraisyah for giving us this opportunity to gain some knowledge. :)

Digi Challenge Startup Weekend.

2011-11-06T21:34:00.001+08:00

21st - 24th of October 2011

Our group from E-Community Project (Kindergames) had been selected to participate in a competition called Digi Challenge in UMS KK. We were only notified 2 days before the competition started and were actually reluctant to participate at first because it was all too sudden and we had so much assignment, mid term, quizes, and projects to catch up with. However all of us, (Kelvin, Woon Chee, Kin Meng, and Chong How) decided to participate to gain experience and it was indeed one hell of a great experience! :)

With very little sleep, all of us took the ferry ride to Kota Kinabalu. We all had very little sleep cause we all had to finish up our assignments before we leave. I seriously could not sleep at all due to the strong petrol smell in the ferry. We all left on Friday morning, and on Friday afternoon itself, we went to UMS KK to join the competition. We were all extremely tired.

We were all soaking wet at the first day but we all had fun. Especially the part where we walked bare foot at the university before entering the hall, as it rained heavily and there were pools of water everywhere. We got to know Taira from UMS KK.

And so everything started with speeches from Glenn and Sumitra from Digi, Jason Armishaw from Startup Weekend, Emily, and many more. "Do you know what is social venture?" :) Well, it's basically like a business idea that could help underserved community. Work started immediately that particular afternoon. Our group sticked to our E-Community idea, as it was the reason why we were chosen to participate in this competition and also we have a very supportive supervisor, Dr Zamhar Ismail that gave us support to join this competition. However we tweaked our idea, as we have to generate revenue in our project and we had chosen orphans as the target underserved community, and hence, voila! Orphagames.

We were given whole day to ourselves to make the idea as solid, and as strong as possible to convince the judges at the end of the day. We brain stormed almost 12 hours a day, and I personally relied on few cups of coffee to stay awake in a day. I was so tired due to lack of sleep, and my brain could not function, and at the same time I had to think hard and stay awake in the hall.

Digi Challenge actually pushed all of us beyond our own limits. We all did our very best in the entire 3 days. One thing I really learned from this Startup Weekend is that I learned to stay calm under pressure and work in a team. The weight is so much lighter when you have great members supporting you and also to share your stress and help you out. We did our market validation by calling a few orphanages, and also came out with a mock up website to support our idea. Mr Yuszren also helped us by providing confimation letter for us.

The weekend ended about 9.30 pm every night. After we all got back to Kingfisher, where we all were staying, we all walked out to have some mamak food. I was the only one hesitated to eat every night, because I was so sleepy, that I could only think of sleeping. :) I had biscuits every night, and of course, halfway, Yu Jin stole my biscuits away. I also managed to get to know my other friends better during this competition and they were all crazy and fun.

2 hours before the end of each day, we would have to pitch our idea in 3 minutes to convince the judges with our idea. On the first day, we were given only 1 minute to present, and 3 minutes on the 2nd and final pitching. It was very challenging as I was the speaker for the group. Along the preparation process, we get to seek advise and learn from a lot of mentors that were there to guide us. They were really friendly and helped us a lot. We got to know Zen (Youth Works Asia), Mr Erik Lothe (ZTE Norway), Mdm Hanaa Wong (President of Sabah Women Entrepreneurs and Professionals Association (SWEPA), Frank Chan, Dr Suresh, Mr Ismail from Digi, Mr Johan Amilin, and more. They were great mentors, friendly and gave us great advises along the way.

As the speaker of the group, I explained our idea to the mentors for about 16 times, different people at different time, until one point, I just could not think anymore. I was tired of talking and thinking. :) And when it comes to pitching, I just could not get my head straight to pitch. That's when I had another cup of coffee running down my throat.

On the final day, sad to say, only 2 out of 24 groups were selected to go for nationals. We did not manage to get through it. However, we spoke to some of the mentors, and we got to know we were actually 1 mark away to 2nd place. We did our best, and most importantly, the feedback from the mentors about our goup were very positive, that they really brighten our day. We learned so much, got to know great people. It was an experience like no other.

extinction of humanity?

2011-10-13T00:52:00.002+08:00

The world has become rather disappointing these days. There are people who abuse animals just because they simply feel like doing it. These animals have feelings too. I just saw a picture of a dog being tied and dragged on the road by using a motorcycle via facebook. And another where a dog was tied and the person was trying to nail his legs to the ground by using hammer and humongous nail. The poodle that was punched and thrown to death by his owner, JUST BECAUSE he wants his poodle to stand like human; Those adorable rabbits that are stepped and squished to death by using heels.What does these animals do to you that you have to treat it that way. Animals are supposed to be man's best friend. How could the animals trust us when these irresponsible people or some even their own owner mistreated them?!

It seems that it is a trend for those irresponsible mothers to throw their new born babies around like trash these days. Almost everyday, there are cases of irresponsible mothers dumping their child in the newspaper. Dumping their own baby down from the 3rd floor, into the river, and at the rubbish dump. Besides that, there are also cases of step mothers and real mothers forcing their kids into prostitution. Fathers too, who sodomized his own 23-DAYS-old son when his wife is still under confinement refused to have sex with him. Does it ever occur in his mind, what would happen to his son emotionally and psychologically when he grows up? Should he knows the truth or should his ugly past be hidden from him? Why become parents when you do not know how to take care and love your family?

I really do not understand. If you can't handle the commitment, then don't take up the responsibility. Don't keep a pet and then abuse them. Don't be a parent if you could not love your own child and family. People, we human are gifted with heart and brain. Use them. THINK! get a punching bag if u need to release your stress, don't release them on animals. USE PROTECTION or SIMPLY DON'T DO IT, if u are going to be irresponsible and throw your babies around!

Personally, i couldn't bare seeing these adorable animals being abused. I couldn't last a few seconds looking at those abusive pictures. For the world to become a better place, the people need to change! Find some love in your heart somewhere and some humanity in you!!

stranger.

2011-10-05T19:11:00.000+08:00

all this while i thought i know this friend very well. there were days that we were so close, and i have complete trust towards my friend. but as time passes by, i realized there are things that i might not know about. there's this feeling where you feel someone is hiding something from you and it makes me feel like a total stranger. and sometimes even, do not bother to reply my messages. this feeling makes me feel hard to communicate and to trust this friend of mine. everyone has different personality and flaws. and of course it is not for us to judge. i am not judging, but i certainly hope that i could trust my friend and everything would be well again.

expectations.

2011-09-23T14:03:00.000+08:00

a little advise from me, do not have high expectations on anything you can think of if you don't wanna be brought down, feel disappointed or feel sad later on. we humans, tend to expect the best out of ourselves and out of someone. but let's face it, every human has their own flaws. we could not expect someone to give their best or being perfect all the time. but there is one thing that all of us could do, which is to try and give the best out of you. and even though, you did not manage to live up to that expectations, at least you tried.

i don't know what to say.

2011-09-20T20:42:00.001+08:00

it's funny how we tend to remember the bad side of someone, more than the good side of a person. the bitter memory more than the sweet memory. i remember every single teeny tiny sweet stuff and it means a lot to me, but at the same time, i too remember every single bitter stuff. when i think of the bitter things and sharp words, all the sweet stuff goes away.

which is why i always touch on the power of words, cause' once you said it you can't take it back. sometimes even, it hurts so badly that it's too late to make it right. with the feeling i have right now, i wish i could sprint as hard and as fast as i can, letting out all the anger and dilemma, or sing my heart out at the beach.

at this moment, part of me has given up. i know i'm ready to end this by walking away. because frankly, i know, i made a person who is important to me feels miserable around me. i don't know why i do that, but i certainly did. i know it when i see the happiness and smile on that face when i am not around. as a friend, even though i know i'll be devastated, i'm willing to just leave, so my friend would not need to deal with me and could be happy always.

positively thinking, why wouldn't i consider trying to make things right? let's just say, i feel this misery could only be ended with one way. this is not another emo post. this is the post where i need to express out my feeling and stuffiness that i'm feeling right now. cause it's getting harder to breathe with it. just like the title said it, "i don't know what to say". i just need to say it.

it's time.

2011-09-18T01:19:00.002+08:00

there's no point holding on to something that does not belong to you.
it's not going to be easy to endure. it'll probably leave some tears in your eyes.
but really, the more you hold on to it, the more you feel the pain.

so, you gotta prepare yourself, to stand at the edge of losing something that you might have now; something precious; something that you are afraid to lose, for something that you believe is best.
when you're prepared, for no matter what the consequences or outcomes, that's when you'll know and be ready to say, "it's time, to let go."

smile.

2011-09-16T14:58:00.002+08:00

there's a kind of joy, that you could not describe when you are able to make a person smile because of you every time that person sees you or hear from you.

there's a twinge of sadness, when you could not make a person smile because of you but everybody else could.

there's a kind of pain, when you used to be the reason a person smiles, but now, you are no longer that person.

by a friend.

2011-09-15T12:03:00.001+08:00

"It's a miracle how people can let go of things they fond of - be it a relationship or things they really treasure. How life can be so ironic when they actually fell in love at first sight; and tomorrow it turns sour.
What could be the catalyst?
What is the reason behind the shift of events?
Nobody actually knows.
There could be millions of reasons behind a single event. Perhaps, it just happens to be a coincidence. Perhaps, it is the nature of human being. Or perhaps, it is fate.
The illogical sense of humanity just do not fit in the picture anymore.
What the reality brings is not about the truth but the feelings. "Within a soul, what matters is how you feel for them and not how they feel for you." As much as we are denying this fact, it slowly finds it way into the 'truth' for humanity. Contradicting but to be exact, it just happens.
People always say that, "Life is about letting go." But what is there to let go, when you already let go in the first place. There is no meaning to the phrase. If it is that easy to let go, then you can see how meaningless it could be. In fact, letting go is the hardest things in life. No matter how much I hold back, tears will always be there" - Kok Hee @ http://kokheechng.blogspot.com/

I couldn't help sharing this in my blog. It is a very meaningful entry. I guess, those who are trying to let go, have to learn to be strong. Cause' no matter how hard the road and the path is, we have to walk through it, as the road behind us, it has already gone.

P/S: a really good entry Kok Hee. look forward to read more. :)

a dream it is.

2011-09-14T23:25:00.001+08:00

i have been asleep for such a long time. and now it's finally the time to wake up. i had dreamed of a sweet dream. i laughed and smiled. ups and downs. it takes a jar of tears, two puffy eyes and a broken heart in the process of the dream. i woke up. i couldn't describe the dream. it seems real, but at the same time it doesn't. but all i know for sure, it is just a dream. a dream that i should just forget.

something only I could understand.

judging.

2011-09-13T21:24:00.001+08:00

i previously felt disturb. somehow, bathing always helps me to think clearer. i feel much better now. i have been able to advise myself in a positive way again. i realized i have to put an end to my self-misery. life couldn't go on like this. i had said what was in my heart, and what was in my mind, plenty of times, that i myself, sometimes sick of hearing myself saying that. whether or not it is going to be taken into account, it's out of my control. when i come to think about it, i was being such a drama. i feel really stupid when i think about it, but it's what i feel from the inside that drives me into being a drama queen. i don't think it's a crime right?

i had been pathetic, i knew it and i dislike it. and now i'm gonna make it stop. sometimes you don't know why you say or do things. we just say it and do it, based on that current situation. what your heart says. words that are said, could not be taken back. funny, how words that are hurtful are much easier to remember. we all made mistakes, i made mine. but we learn from it. I am going to learn from it.

when someone's in pain, or in trouble, we should not say "i understand" because you really don't. even though you felt like you had put yourself in that someone else's shoes when you give an opinion, it isn't enough. it takes a real experience for you to understand what one is going through.

no one could understand what is going through your mind. if you tell someone about it, that person may understand what you are feeling and support you or he/she may be judging you and perhaps even think that you are pathetic, annoying and stupid. in my case of being emo and drama queen, judge me however you want, i just don't care.

people has their ups and downs moment, and today, i had my down moment. i realize i gotta learn to adapt to the sudden change of environment. no matter what it is, no matter how hard it is, i have to adapt and get used to it, because that is the only way i could stay happy and positive. and that is how things are going to be for me, from now on. HAPPY & POSITIVE. ♥

negativity.

i wonder why, some stuff are just so hard to get over with. it was at the back of my head all the time, no matter how hard i try. there's just this rage and dissatisfaction in me, that i myself, could not comprehend, like really. i tried to think of the reasons, why i feel this way, why i think of things that way, and many more. i feel so disturbed.

i tried so hard to forget that i feed myself with negative thoughts to get over things. i tried self-advising like what i usually do, and it usually works. but this, it just don't. sometimes when i feed myself with negative thoughts, it worked momentarily, and then it comes back. feeding myself with the thoughts, is really bringing myself down, almost all the time. i feel no confidence and i compared myself to others. plenty of reasons and thoughts, that i self created, that i think they are facts that i could not deny.

sometimes, i wonder will i get depressed. this is so not healthy and i know it. but i just don't know how to get through it you see. some people i've seen just go to sleep to forget about things they don't wanna remember or care about. i tried. sometimes it works, and sometimes, it's hard to even fall asleep. it has been a while i last feel like this. i felt depressed with myself at times. i dislike this me, cause' this is not me. i really wanna be myself again. and i just don't know how.

My experience in Guess Kids.

2011-09-02T01:44:00.001+08:00

Hey guys. I haven't update my blog a while now. So, I had been working these past few months. Yesterday was my last day at Guess Kids. I worked there for 2 months + now. I had fun working there, with Gladys (Ah Bang), Jaes (Bomba), Yi Xin(Chubby), Xu-Peng (Ah Peng) and Khai Hern (Roti Canai). They are the 5 new people that I've got to know and they are very friendly people. 5 different individuals with different personalities. I had learned a lot from these people and shared a lot of good and funny memories with them. I had drafted a simple flash, I hope I have the time to make the flash animation about all of us. :) Will miss you guys and keep in touch. Take care ya'll. See you guys when I come back to Penang. ♥ Will post up some photos soon. Gotta start packing now. :) Good night world.

inner peace?

2011-06-17T16:41:00.001+08:00

there are times when we are down and it sucks real bad when we just couldn't do anything to forget about it, or make things better. it may be about yourself, family, relationship, friends and more. "truth hurts". in some way they're right. there's a second part to that line. "what you don't know, won't hurt you". combines well.

sometimes you wish things could be different. you wanna take back what you said, and you wish you could turn back time and undo things. but what's done is done. and what's said is said. that's the beauty of time and words. and in some cases, it's just too late to make amends and probably left a scar in someone's heart; someone's life.

beneath the smile that i have on my face, i feel disturbed at times. even when i don't think about my problems, i know it is somewhere in my head. there are words that keep repeating in my head, and they are the hurtful truth that i sometimes wish i don't know about. but knowing the truth kept me from making a fool out of myself.

perhaps i am not trying hard enough and i may seem tough, but i am just human. i have problems of my own, my own expectation, and things that i wouldn't wanna remember. i want to find my inner peace, letting go of things that i should be letting go, some time for myself, and some space for me to day dream about a much beautiful life. let's just hope that i could find peace in myself.

how far will you go?

2011-06-13T20:25:00.003+08:00

we gotta face the fact that life doesn't always turns out like how you want it to be, that life isn't just like a fairy tale like how you watch on TV. life is short, like really. you may not know what happen to you the very next second. people say you should enjoy life everyday like it is the last day you are here on Earth.

but how many of us really do what we really wanted, things that will make us happy by practicing "LIFE IS SHORT"? how far will you go to chase after what you really want? how far will you go to get hold of your happiness in your hand?

people say "expect the unexpected". sometimes it really does happen and sometimes, life even requires you to choose between yourself and your family. and when that comes, will you choose a path that will make yourself happy as it is you that will go on with what you choose for the rest of your life, or will you pick a path that will please everyone else in your family? not everyone is there to support you at times, even your own family members.

i had met a lady who told me "i will support my children no matter what decision they make, as they are the one who are going to live their lives. not me. because when i die, they are gonna regret living their lives as they aren't living their lives, they are living mine." and i was really surprise because i didn't expect her to be the type of person that is open minded. what she said changes my perspective of seeing certain things.

so what say you? will you choose to do something that you like, or to do something that would please others?

Melly's Surprise Bday Party.

2011-06-03T20:04:00.002+08:00

31.5.2011
Venue : Ingolf

Caline planned a party and Melissa had no idea that it was for the birthday. Well my car, gave me a little trouble before I managed to dine with my friends. The stupid break lights wouldn't turn off even after I off the engine. But anyway, managed to ask a guy to off the break switch for me. I haven't get it fixed until now. I had fun with my bunch of girlfriends whom I didn't meet for a long time. And managed to meet Jo's boyfriend.

First thing when I sat down, a bunch of Australians sitting at our next table kept looking at our table. I have no idea why. I actually thought that he was interested with one of us. :) Turned out, one of them was celebrating his 77th birthday. I guess it was a surprise for him too. We girls sang out loud for him and he thanked us. One of them, the guy who kept looking at us, came over, gave us a bottle of wine. Told us to finish it if we can and he told Jo's boyfriend that he's sitting at his place. Lol. They also gave us few pieces of his cake. :) How nice.

We enjoyed our dinner, and somehow, accidentally i started a dirty joke. I did not have that intention at all, until Jo pointed out that it sounded wrong. There goes, everyone started making dirty jokes. Later after that, Caline brought out the cake and we sang the birthday song. The bunch of Australians sang for Melissa too. We also gave them some cake in return and Melissa took a picture with the birthday man. He said "I hope you are not as old as me". Another guy told Melissa that by the Australian law, Melissa is now his wife. Friendly people.

After chatting until around 11.30pm, we said goodbyes to each other and also to the Australians. We had a fun night I'd say. :)

food baby. :)

25.05.2011

Hooi Hoon, my sister, Amy and I went out for Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Hooi Hoon and I was busy purchasing tickets online while Amy was in class. The ticket was selling fast and our eyes just can't get off the reservation screen on my laptop. Luckily we managed to get a perfect seat. The movie was awesome. ♥ the mermaid, although they were pretty scary when they attacked in groups.

Well, after that we went scouting for food at Farlim Pasar Malam. We were having fun eating along the way as we walked. When we actually stopped to dine properly, it started pouring. Damn! But we were so lucky that the uncle from the Mat Tou Yao stall, a famous dessert in Penang, gave us some shade at his stall. So the 3 of us, were enjoying the rain and the food. Overall we had fun, but it will be better if we managed to shop around longer. :)

the snake temple.

2011-05-22T22:53:00.002+08:00

today i brought my sis to the snake temple. impromptu. so we actually learned a lot about snakes today, and touched a few freaking huge python. they are smooth, silky and cold. they have a really slow digestive system. they take about 2 - 3 months to digest their food. and we saw a 10m long python. it can eat a whole freaking cow. when it opens the mouth, it can stretch 3 times more, to swallow it's prey. that's because their jaw is dislocated. cool huh. and they took about 1 week to change their skin entirely. 2 months once i think. and rocks are put in the tank where the snake is to help him change their skin. if the skin does not change properly and accumulated on the back layer by layer each time they change their skin, they would die.

The uncle also said that if a snake is 1 - 2 m right in front of you, stay still and don't panic. if we panic, and move, the snake will bite you. so the key is to stay quietly and after some time, the snake will move away. if it's quite a distance, then don't run and move away slowly.

i'm surprised i remembered what he said. :) we watched a smaller python ate a white rat. and you know what, he does not have a chance to even blink, the snake bit it and strangled it. even i don't even have time to blink watching that happened. pity the rat. but anyways, here are some of the pictures that we took there.

a spick-and-span interface.

2011-05-21T01:03:00.000+08:00

finally made some changes to my blog. i changed the background, added some butterflies and a post divider and changed the fonts of my blog. i ♥ the simple new look. i don't know about you, but i certainly hope you like it too. :)

anyway, now i'm just rotting at home. pretty lazy to start on my things. just TV, TV and TV! and as much as i really ♥ CSI, AXN doesn't have to freaking repeat CSI, House and Leverage over and over again! although, there are some, as in A LOT of the episodes that I didn't manage to catch up after studying at another island. besides rotting, i'm just indulging into food, exercise and things that i lurrrvvv to do.

home sweet home.

2011-05-19T18:23:00.001+08:00

Finally back in Penang. Did not have the time to blog due to assignments and final exam. Assignments and preparation for final exam had been very tiring. Sleeping late and waking up early. Tiring but it was also my fault for not starting work early enough. I finally get to get a good night sleep after a tiring weeks. Now that I am back at home, my plan to find a part time job vanished. I have no transport. Sigh. Guess all I can do is to stay at home and prepare for my final year project and also study my Japanese language for N4 this year. boring! miss my friends. :)

im awake.

2011-03-28T00:14:00.000+08:00

I just talked to my room mate, she said a few things that changes my perspective of things. Something good about her is that, most of the time she thinks of a situation positively, and in a different angle that I don't think of. Earlier, I felt disturbed, but now, not anymore. :)

I begin to think of the situation positively, and from a different angle. What matters is now is that, I still own this precious friendship, and I am very grateful and happy to have such a wonderful person in my life. I should be thinking of making things better and create a happy ending for my story, and not a emo-dramatic ending to it.

Life is too short to make life emo-dramatic-sadist story. Mine, should be filled with happy, amazing people, and adventurous! All I'm gonna do now is to cherish what I have with my friend, a sweet adorable person & create less frustration for my friend. ♥

disturbed.

2011-03-27T12:25:00.001+08:00

I just read a recent post of my friend. I understand how she feels, as I felt the same way. Not entirely the same, but almost. Somethings are just hard to forget, but somehow, certain people expects you to forget it fast, without considering how we feel; how our heart feels. It was insensitive alright, but we couldn't blame them if they're not sensitive towards how we feel. Not everyone knows how to put themselves in our shoes, and understands us from within, unless they had experienced it before.

I recently feel very disturbed over what to do, a solution to make someone important in your life happy. It's my nature to think about others' happiness before mine. Sometime I feel, it's a stupid attitude, but I still practice it. Stupid right? It's funny, how a person that you know in a short period of time, bonded with you so well. But anyway, sometimes I feel, without me in this person's life, life would be much peaceful and happier, because I think all I have given to this friend of mine, is just frustration. I believe my friend does not deserve that from me. However, despite that, there were also happiness that I cherish so much in this friendship. I want to end this almost-every day-frustration for my friend, but my heart feels so hurtful when I think of not being close anymore. If I tell, there is a possibility that we will no longer be close, even worse, we won't be friends. I am not ready to lose this precious friendship of mine. I wish someone could tell me what's the right thing to do.

JLPT N5 Result

2011-03-26T16:50:00.000+08:00

I passed!!! Yay!! I was so happy. Now, I have to worry about JLPT N4 that I would take this end of the year. It's a little tough. Have to do a lot of practices. I have been really busy with assignments. Have so much to do, and yet my pace is like a tortoise! I should work faster and be productive. Final exam is approaching and I really need to work fast. I had plans to go for MSM this year,

the orientation for new comers. But the induction is changed to a week after final exam

this semester, and I already got my ticket to go back to my hometown!

How stupid is that. And I have no idea what I should do now,

as I couldn't change my Air Asia ticket because I got it for a promo price.

SIGH!

Japanese Language Study Trip

2011-03-26T16:43:00.003+08:00

20 March 2011
It was a very anxious day for me, for all of us. (Hanin, Veron and Abby.) とても　しんぱいしました。It was the day where we will have to speak Japanese more that usual and make conversation with our せんせい。It was 7.50am in the morning, and we went into his office at 8am sharp. He was wearing smarter than usual. We had to invite him out to town with us. We told him our plan. So we went to Utama Jaya, then to the museum and to Mawilla Yacht Club Restaurant to have lunch. We have to give him direction every single time he walked. He would even walked towards an obstacle until we gave him direction to move away. We managed to get out from the campus. That is a good start. Phew. We made small conversations with him on our way to town. And lucky thing, he was pretty easy to make conversation with. Along the way, we learned a lot of new Japanese vocabulary. At the end of the day, it has to be in our study trip report.

He stopped at a lot of places to take pictures. We took a lot that day! Even in the middle of the road! He then took us to some coffee shop near Utama Jaya. He treated us. We got to know him more than just our teacher. After breakfast, we then proceeded to Utama Jaya to do our shopping task. Each of us are given a shopping task. Each of us are given different things to buy and he instructed us in Japanese. I was given a task to get a packet of 1kg soap powder, 2 red pens and 1 box of small paper clips. Lucky thing I got it right.

He then brought us to Delihan Bakery Shop. He gave us 20 bucks to get some breads. He asked us to spend it all. He made us feel difficult to react. Nevertheless, we spent it. We then proceeded to Labuan Museum. We taught him the words in Malay, and he taught us back the word in Japanese. It really was a study trip.

Again, on our way to the restaurant, he took a lot of pictures. Even I could not describe. He has this camera, which is pretty old, and it releases smoke whenever he snap a photo. How adorable. When I asked him why he don't get a new camera since he loves to take beautiful scenery. And he told us that he's not a professional, and he only take the photos for his own view only. You know, he does know how to take beautiful photos, with beautiful clouds design. He refuses to let us take his photo or videos. ;)

Anyway, he ordered 9 dishes! And we were so fulled up that we had to take way some of the food. He was really smart. He took so little!! While waiting for the dishes, we had to report to him about our shopping task. After lunch, he gave us some photo albums and each of us had to ask him about 7 questions about the photos. We then have to show him the photo that we wanted to tell him about. I talked to him about my grandma. He even remembered that I wrote about her in my essay.

We got back to campus about 4pm which was 2 hours behind our schedule. On our way back, he told us a couple of ghost stories that he heard from his colleague. Overall, I had a lot of fun out with him and my friends. It was challenging, crazy and delicious! He was very kind, cute in his own way and very gentleman. せんせいは　しんせつなひとです。どうもありがとうございました。

Boys Trouble?

2011-02-19T12:14:00.003+08:00

Boys. Everywhere I go these days, I hear boy trouble. It's funny how everyone share almost the same situation. It's like the boys memorized their lines from a script book, just that each of them alter the story line a little. Guys don't understand what is going through a girl's mind, and vice versa. You guys think it's so hard to please a girl, but it's actually not.

You don't have to give her a bouquet of flower to make her happy on valentines day. Sometimes a peck on the cheek and 1 rose, just ONE, to make your partner happy.

When she's sick and not feeling well, all she wants is someone to ask her how she's doing, and a simple "drink more water, and get some rest." will make her feel happy. But some guys will say "I'm not a doctor, what you want me to do?". Some will just ignore it when you tell them because, they think you can take good care of yourself?

Girls are more emotional most of the time. And they would like to hear you boys say "I miss you" or "I love you". But let me tell you boys, say it like you mean it! It hurts if the girls find out that you just say it to make them happy, but actually don't mean it. True, to some guys, action speaks louder than word. It's okay. Just show them that you love them. No problem with that.

Some guys said, girls are so demanding, that they want you to message them all them time, and be there with them all the time. Some girls do that. But to some, all they want is just a few messages everyday,and hang out for a while everyday. I don't know why, guys just love to interpret hanging out and messaging often is 24 HOURS! what, you guys message and hang out when you sleep too?! Sometimes, the girl just misses you, even though you guys hang out everyday, and message often.

Let's not deny, that boys love to check out girls. True? Okay, because of this attitude, here comes security issue. The confidence level in your partner drops when you guys check out another girls. She will think, oh she's hotter than me? she's slimmer than me? And then when you guys are far apart, she will start thinking, "is he with other girls now?" They don't feel so secure. Which is why, you can't blame the girl entirely, when your partner thinks too much, or feels jealous. So guys, try to make her feel more secure or tell her what were you thinking of when you look at those chics. But hey, if the girl gets jealous, means she like you. You should be happy. But of course, most of us girls, will try not to get so jealous.

Most guys just think about themselves. Try to think from your partner's point of view. Be understanding. And when the both of you have issues, talk about it. Just between the both of you. And if you wanna make things work, I'm sure you guys will find a solution to it.

I'm not an expert in relationship. But all I can tell you, is what is going through in most of us girls' mind. So, forgive me if I don't speak what is in the boy's mind. Till here for now. Gotta get back to assignments! Will post more soon! :)

Hoppin' Rabbit!

2011-02-05T18:24:00.001+08:00

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! May all of you have a great Rabbit year and even better in the following years! I love CNY, especially the reunion dinner, where every single family members are back and have dinner together. This year, we had bbq. And the highlight of CNY is the ANG PAOS!! WOOHOOT! Our family still maintain the tradition of visiting relatives and spending time with family, unlike the youngsters these days. They prefer to hang out with friends. I had a lot of fun at home. Just yesterday, I shed tears like twice. Haha. We were all watching Hachiko : A Dog's Story, about a dog named Hachi who waited for his owner for 9 years, at the same spot everyday, at the same time, not knowing that his owner had passed away. He waited there until the day he died. They now have a statue of Hachiko. Read more.

We cried like mad! My uncle and his family went back to KL this morning. They said goodbyes to my grandma yesterday night. My young cousins gave my grandmother hugs and kisses. She was very happy. There are language barriers between my cousins and grandma. My cousins can only speak English and Malay, which my grandma does not comprehend. The hugs and kisses meant a lot to her, as she hugs them back tightly. I burst into tears, as the atmosphere was touching and meaningful. :) Overall, I'm having a good time at home! and I have assignments to finish up!!! SIGH. But anyway, here are some photos to share.

it's good to be early than late!

2011-01-31T01:44:00.001+08:00

Due to my phobia towards missing flight, i'll always be 2 hours earlier at the airport. :D silly i am. But it was so proven wrong, when the car that we were in, when we were on the way to airport had no petrol left in the tank! WE WERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!! Veron, Kin Meng and I were suppose to fly off to KL at 5.20pm. I decided to get a car at 2.30pm. Saidy, Kube and Esywara was also in the car. That was super early but safe! So we were stuck there for about 30 minutes, until my friends came for our rescue. They got 2 bottles of petrol and filled up the tank. I found the incident so exciting and funny, HAHA. stucked in the middle of no where with my friends. And we took some pictures, and video to remember the incident. What a journey back to Penang for Chinese New Year. Man, I love my friends a lot. They are the people that makes my life in Labuan meaningful and happy. i'll let the pictures do the talking.

prevention of being a thinker.

2011-01-20T17:08:00.001+08:00

if only we don't have to think so much! life gets complicated when we simply think too much. a line can be an essay, "YES" could be "MAYBE"; life is simple but we human makes it complicated. and it doesn't have a switch to "OFF --> STOP THINKING" button. it is always in AUTO mode! even when we don't wanna think, we're thinking of not thinking. WHAT THE HECK! argh! i don't even know why i name the title of this post like that! - in slight depress mode.

photoshop the emotions.

2011-01-06T10:23:00.000+08:00

if only we could split our feelings and emotions into layers just like in Adobe Photoshop!
we could place happy, sad, down, angry, anxious, worry, everything into different layers, and in that way we could only feel one type of emotion at one time. and we could delete the layers if we don't want to feel that way. and we could lock the layers whenever we want those feelings and emotions to stay. but somehow, these layers made up a full picture fills with emotions. but whether or not it makes a beautiful and interesting picture, that's a entire different story. that depends on the user or the artist him/herself.

but that's what makes human so interesting. we are created to feel many emotions simultaneously. sometimes it's hard to keep one feeling away when you felt so many in you. that's just the way we have to live with it no?

the night before.

2011-01-02T11:32:00.002+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR! WELCOME 2011. GOOD BYE 2010.
Time flies. So many things had happened. Good and Bad. Sweet and Sour. Well, that's life and that's what that makes life so interesting. :) Anyway, I'm here to share what I did during New Year Eve. Haha. <--10 minutes before 2011, I was already on my bed!!! LOL.
Before that, we took my grandma out for a new year eve dinner at Cherry Blossom nearby our place. Well, we weren't really satisfied with the dishes. We had more fun taking pictures. ;)

1 hour before 2011, we baked banana cake and we finished everything in like 15 minutes. I mashed the banana. Hooi Hoon, my sister's friend settled the eggs, Amy, my younger sister, the mini G Hotel chef (internship) guided us, and Judy, my elder sis washed the dishes! Not to forget our 4 legged family members Light and Snoopy. Shots are taken by me! Haha. :D The cake was simple and delicious! Well, that was how my 2010 ended. I hope 2011, will be a mysterious yet beautiful year for me. We may not know what's coming right? Anyway, Happy New Year!

being understanding...

2010-12-31T23:36:00.000+08:00

we homo sapiens are created with different attitudes, personalities, and so on. in this post, i would wanna touch on being understanding. to me, it is something that is important in people's daily life. we get frustrated, down, sad, that people don't understand us. but we couldn't blame them as not everyone could put themselves in our shoes. and some people believe that you have to experience what i experience in order to understand how they feel and not by just the phrase "I understand how you feel.." and sometimes i feel people are so selfish when they only think about themselves and not others. but you know, if i put it in a nicer way, maybe they are just not understanding enough and they can't put themselves in your shoes.

but hey, as for myself, i'm gonna be as understanding as possible to the people around me.

It was Christmas..

2010-12-29T23:22:00.000+08:00

25th December 2010

It was Christmas..I went to Jacky's annual Christmas party with my friends. I totally had fun. And I learn to play the in-game Monopoly Deal. It was fun. Meow taught all of us how to play. Jacky was so funny. She played the JUST SAY NO! action card with style, and just to find out that she could not use the card! LOL. That was what the boobies did. :) As for the guys, they were playing poker with Nicole. Well, Nicole declared that she was a guy that night. ;) It was fun to watch Gajen when he played poker. He was so into poker. Chris sucks in lying in the poker game. Haha, but we were all having fun that night. It might be a little late to wish all of you, but who cares.. MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR! This Christmas wasn't like any other Christmas that I ever had for me. There were a lot of memories that I would ponder and there were a lot of things that I had learned.

26th December 2010

Another reunion with my form 6 ex-school mates. From left : Chia Ling. Me. Sue Voon. Mello. Lai Theng. Mei Hsien. Sie Yong. Shirley.

It has been a while since I last met them. We had BBQ behind Flamingo Hotel (previously the location of Crown Prince Hotel). We had trouble with the fire at first, and trouble bbq-ing the chicken as it was hard to cook. But we ended up very fulled up. ;) Food has always been our thing. Lol. Being at the beach, reminded me of Labuan. I miss my friends there. But anyway, I'll be going back real soon, which is this Sunday. :'( I haven't have enough of holidays. But there's nothing I could do about it. Until here for now. Will blog again soon. And I hope you guys got to enjoy a very merry Christmas with your loved ones. See ya soon.

Honey.

JLPT adventure!

2010-12-07T23:48:00.002+08:00

blogging from Penang! oh yea..I'm home baby! well, let me tell you what i did before i came home.

3rd of December
We took the 6.30 am bus from campus to jetty. We had an 2 hour plus journey to Menumbok Jetty in Kota Kinabalu. At least they put on some good movie this time, Step Up 3D. Well, i was so blur early in the morning that I closed the door on my leg at the ferry. I was stucked at the door and I almost fell. How silly that is. Well, the wave is stronger at this time of the year so I felt a little dizzy. I was on my way to the washroom at the ferry, and there was this kid, throwing a plastic bag of Styrofoam with noodles in it into the sea!!! I was so freaking angry that I stared at the kid. The parents was just there staring at me and I stared back at them. NO WONDER THE SEA IS SO DIRTY!! There are rubbish bin nearby! The parents did not even scold their kids for doing that! PARENTS SHOULD EDUCATE THEIR KIDS!!! such a turn off!!

Enough about that. So we took the UMS bus from Menumbok to the place where we were suppose to stay, University Apartment. And guess what, the bus driver dropped us at the wrong place and left! So we hung out around there to have lunch. Thanks a lot to Wei Song for calling the person in charge to settle the problem. Well, after some discussion, we were brought to Kingfisher instead. The house was pretty clean and huge. The girls stayed in 1 unit and the boys stayed next door. We just had to walk out to the main road to get ourselves dinner. After dinner, we rested at home.

4th of December
1 more day to go for JLPT exam! damn. I woke up early morning to study. I did not have a good sleep as it was too cold and the bed was too hard. We did not have pillows or blankets as our bags were already heavy enough with the 8 Japanese text books we brought along to study for exam. We then went to 1Borneo by bus. We had lunch, walked around and went back home to study. Veron, Adriana and Yuli stayed at the mall, while the rest of us decided to go back to Kingfisher. The bus dropped us at the main roundabout at Kingfisher and we had to walk all the way back to our place. We played a while at the playground nearby. Wei Chien, Wei Song and Alvin spoiled the bridge! Haha :) We walked out together for dinner later in the evening and we studied through the night for JLPT exam.

5th of December
The day has finally arrived! We entered the examination hall at 2pm. The room was so stuffy that a few of us that sat behind got headache because of the carbon dioxide and the heat in the room. There were 3 parts in the exam and there were 15 minutes intervals between those papers. Vocabulary and Listening was pretty easy. But Grammar was pretty hard. I think all of us did pretty okay in the exam. Exam finished at 5.30pm. Man I was so relieved when it ended! We then dropped Abby, Khaulah and Alvin at the airport, and the rest of us went to Filipino Market. Uncle Chong dropped us at Central Point (Is that how they spell it?) and we walked on foot to Filipino Market. We had a pretty enjoyable walk. Uncle Chong brought us to the watch tower where we saw the night view of the town area. For one second, we felt like we were tourists. Then we headed home. Surprisingly, that night was the only night i can sleep pretty well despite the pain on my back.

final exam-ing

2010-11-21T16:48:00.000+08:00

it has been a while since i really blog. well, currently i'm having my final exam. 3 more papers to go. i'm trying to cram psychology in my head. 4 freaking essays to write tomorrow. and project management paper which i screwed up already before the final paper. well, there's nothing i could do now, but to try my best to score all the papers and maintain my 3 pointers and above, which i doubt that i can do that this semester. definitely a busy sem for me with all the events that i involved in. though, i learnt a lot from the events; people, and how to handle things. i'm gonna stay away from events next semester and be a normal student. sigh. i should go back and study now. will blog soon.

2010-11-03T00:54:00.001+08:00

study week had started. for the past four days i've been attending 3 and a half hours of JLPT Intensive Course. man..tiring it was but I learnt a lot. life's pretty dull. all i did was the same thing everyday. bad thing about staying in room all day is that, you tend to think too much of stuff. sometimes the problem wasn't there, but you create it by thinking too much. but sometimes, the problem you thought of isn't entirely wrong. it drives me crazy really, staying in room all day. it messes with your head. seriously hard to find someone who actually listens to you and take you for account even the people closest to you. it was all suppressed within me and i could not find someone to talk to. blog is a place where you can express it all by typing. more like talking to yourself, no feedback. but at least you don't get people raising their voice at you when you complain, taking your words for granted and give you stupid advises. man, i'm glad i have a blog. you know, people take words for granted. they do not understand the beauty of it. words are something that you can't take back after it was out from the voice box of yours. words are something that you use to communicate with others. words make you happy. words make you sad. i now see a different angle of words. sometimes, things are better when it's not said.

now back to assignment.

2010-10-17T16:57:00.000+08:00

Past few weeks was horribly hectic. M1M and JCN. I felt so relief after those weeks passes. I totally neglected my studies. man, JLPT exam is on the end of the year. And I'm so far behind in my Japanese. I need to catch up fast and waste no time to do my assignments. But you know, sometimes people procrastinate. I'm one of them. Sigh. If only I have a lot of hands to work everything at the same time! Though, I enjoyed my life here. The people, the environment.. I got to go back to my room. maybe do some skipping now. and then, back to work! tomorrow classes starting back for the week.class from morning till night! I hate MONDAYS! urgh. till then, take care. will update soon.

selamat hari raya!

2010-09-10T13:40:00.000+08:00

atmospheric change.

2010-07-20T22:22:00.000+08:00

after wanting so badly (exaggerating) to stay in campus, i finally got to feel how those 'campusian' feels like when they stay in the dorm in campus. i stayed off campus for 1 year and staying here in campus is a total new environment for me. at first when i got in here, i thought things was gonna be horrible! lucky for us, Abby & Veron (my new roomie), we are staying on the first floor. and guess what, no water! we had to go down to the water tank, which is lucky enough for us (again), that the water tank is nearby. we brush our teeth, wash our face, wash our clothes, and some people even bath there. we had to fill up pails of water to bath. we ladies are building muscles! and if we wanna do our "business", we had to walk far away to the tower where there is water. but happy news for us, today, finally, they managed to finish fixing the pump and now we have water in our washroom!! it's a wonderful, great, awesome, euphoric news for me! :) basically, i love my room. i love the balcony. most of my friends are in campus. which makes the whole campus a happening place for me. now i don't have to chase for the bus! woohoot! i just have to walk back to my room. far, but..take it as an exercise. あるいてです。 (walk in Japanese!)

oh yeah, talking about japanese. we are having 9 hours of japanese now. 2 extra classes for JLPT exam end of this year! 6 HOURS OF JAPANESE CLASS ON MONDAY. 3 HOURS ON THURSDAY. brain freeze! i signed up for it, now i have to deal with it!

2 more days.

2010-07-06T22:55:00.000+08:00

I'm gonna spend my days in KL alone at my aunt's cause' she's busy and I don't wanna trouble my uncle. Lucky thing she has some dvd and internet at home. I won't be so bored. Friday I'll leave to Labuan. Honestly, I can't wait. ;)

with chiqs at Balik Pulau.

2010-07-02T21:32:00.001+08:00

Yesterday I brought my friend down to Balik Pulau to have durians. We used the old road, and we got lost! :) Caline needed to drop her car for a repair. So we had to use the old road cause' it's closer. But we managed to find our way. Almost got into an accident. The road is so confusing!!! Can't blame me for that. It rained all afternoon. Jac, Melissa and Caline came over to my place and then I fetched them to Balik Pulau Market to have Laksa and Pasembur. We had our lunch at 4pm! Super hungry. We had 2 plates of Pasembur. Jacky was obsessed with the gravy.

The laksa ain't that good. The one opposite the old market is the delicious one. My sister then brought us to have a Malay stall laksa at Jalan Bharu. We had to cut our own vegetables and scoop your own noodles. It's like your own D.I.Y laksa. It's 1 buck for a bowl and 1 buck for the orange juice. You can refill the soup for the laksa.

Melissa.Caline.Jac.Me

Then we headed to my grandma's place to have some durians. We were really full that day.

We had to leave early cause' Jac had to go for a dinner with her family. So I dropped her at her mum's office. Then drove Cal to get her car from the mechanic's then we went for dinner at Jumbo somewhere in Kenari. We didn't expect the portion to be so JUMBO!!! RM7.90 for Fish n' Chips. 3 pieces of fillets + vege + 4 pieces of wedges!! I couldn't finish it. FULL!! Next time, we're so gonna order 1 plate for 2.

A day off the island.

2010-07-02T12:07:00.003+08:00

3 days ago, my friends Melissa, Caline and I went off island for almost a day. We went to Bukit Mertajam. Hang out in Sunway Mall. It's like the combination of Gurney Plaza and Queensbay. A little of both. Though there's nothing much to see. We went to have lunch there. I pretty regretted what I ordered for lunch that day. Skip that part. Then we went to Penang Bird Park. There's this parrot named Grey. He lets us touch him. MELISSA screamed her lungs out when I put her finger near the bird. And guess what, another parrot laughed at her.. "HAHAHA" Funny!!

That is my hand by the way. Not Melissa's. Then there's this small yellow parrot. He bit my finger! What the heck! And this is the first time I touched an owl. 3 owls actually. These 3 owls moved left and right when I touched them. Very cute! Like they're dancing. Well nothing much but birds. I was fascinated by the crocodile and this WILD MELISSA tried to wake the snake up to see how long it is. And she's scared of birds. Of all thing?! Haha. But we had our fun there. Then we went to Jusco. Walked around as usual. We went to have Bak Kut Teh for dinner and drove to Auto City. Was my first time there though.

We went to grab some few nice hair clips and then hang out with Melissa's friend for a while at Ice Ice Baby. I was complaining about how much I've spent! and Melissa was "flaunting" her Mandarin! Then we headed home. That was pretty much the day.

The Pencil Skirt.

2010-06-27T11:25:00.019+08:00

Lazy to hit the gym. ♥ food. Pretty clothes. Most of us are almost the same. Everyone dislike being fat, even the guys.

Last December, I was so happy that I lose 2 kgs by cutting down my portion of food. My uncle has this weighing machine that tells it all, body fat included. To my surprise, I actually gain 3% of fat despite losing 2 freaking kgs. I was slightly obese in body fat, not overall. And I was like, what the heck! and to find that out during Chinese New Year..oh no! I feel unhealthy!! and I told myself I need to workout when I'm back in Labuan. Just like most of the people who wanna lose weight, it didn't work out! and 5 months passed..

However, I was determined to work out when I'm back in Penang. I really need to lose those fats!! It has been almost 2 months since I'm back from Labuan. My friend Yu Jin once said to me, when we were chatting about exercising, "We are young. We have to pick up something more challenging to do, instead of just walking if you wanna lose weight." Somehow, I managed to start doing rope skipping everyday. After doing some research on rope skipping, I found that it is a very good cardio exercise. I push myself slowly to 1000 jumps a day. Took me 25 mins - 30 mins every time I skip. Well, I gave myself a break once or twice in a week. And still go on with cutting down my portion of food.

Sandra Bullock in The Proposal

One day I went shopping with my sis. And I've always thought that ladies in pencil skirt look professional yet sexy! I'd love to wear it but because I think I have an elephant thighs, I refuse to even try it. Out of curiosity, I just grabbed a top and a pencil skirt without checking the size and tried it, just to get a glimpse of how I would look like in a pencil skirt. I love the look, and guess what, I could fit in the skirt, but I can't zip it up! Haha :) And I checked the size, it was 2 size smaller. When I look at the gap between the zippers, I was like.."Hmm, I like the skirt. And I think I could get the zip up if I continue my rope skipping. it's possible." I don't wanna be over confident by getting the skirt first before losing the weight. I kept telling myself, I wanna get that skirt!!! And 2 weeks later, I went back to the mall and tried the skirt again. It fits! And I got it! This proves that the exercise is working. I can now wear my clothes and pants that I couldn't fit in before. The feeling is awesome.

Though, there are times where I was a lil down, cause' you yourself can't really see the difference. I mean, HELLO, I WORK OUT BUT I STILL LOOK THE SAME! My uncle once told me, "When you start working out, you're halfway there."

And when I think again, you can't rush when you wanna lose the fats. What, you think *snap* and you got thinner? If only.. :) What matters is you have to keep going. You can have your favourite food but in small portion and exercise at the same time. I used to give myself 10 000 reasons when I wanna work out. Assignments.. bla bla bla. I used to have this mindset where, when you go to a new place, you have to taste their good food because you're not gonna go back to that particular place. To me now, after all this exercising, it's PARTLY WRONG! You can eat, but in small portion and exercise. It comes in a package! I surf the net about exercising and all, and I came across an article. It says "It's not about how long you do the exercise, it's about what you eat!" Which is true, You can do the exercise for like half an hour, but within that period, you could be resting for 15 minutes! (I did that before..! Haha.) Maybe you managed to fill up the 30 minutes with exercise, but you have fattening food for breakfast, lunch, dinner and maybe even supper!

And when I actually EXERCISE, I don't think it's that hard to do. I just weighed myself yesterday, i shed another 2 kilos and with my body fat reduced 8% in less than 2 months. (2 kilos might be nothing to some of you, but it's something that I really work for.) Seeing that my body fat fell into the healthy category instead of slightly obese, i feel much much healthier and of course, happier! :). And I realize that, it's not about just looking good, it's also about your health and feeling confident. You may be young now, but you too will get old one day. Push yourself to exercise. That's what I'm doing.

Though, take it slow. Don't damage yourself by exercising excessively. And do it base on your own capabilities. I used to get slight chest pain when I do my rope skipping cause' I'm not used to it. But I took it slow and now, I don't get chest pain anymore.

I share this here, cause now, I finally lift my butt up the chair and start exercising constantly. Losing weight has been coming out from my mouth for years and this time, I really do it.

Not eating is WRONG! (BAD diet. Eat healthily. Cut down on fattening and oily food. I still take McChicken sometimes, but I scrapped the Mayonnaise off.)
Cut down your portion of food. (I love rice! But I take them in small portion now.)
Exercise! (Burn those fats with cardio exercises. It has to be at least 30 mins. Eg. walking, jog-walking, jogging, swimming, rope skipping etc. etc. You can do some home gym exercise. Surf the net about it.)
Make sure you take your dinner at least 4 hours before you go to bed.

I'm not saying that I look thin, super great, hot or what so ever now. Or that I'm a professional in losing weight. But, just to tell you, feeling healthy is great! And this is a lifestyle change for me. I'll continue to do my exercise and stay healthy. I still ♥ food! :)

Truth About Rope Skipping

2010-06-12T13:15:00.004+08:00

The effort it takes to jump rope for ten minutes is the equivalent of running a mile in eight minutes. If you think the park is too far or is filled with unsavory characters, you can skip the rope in your house or backyard.

Thirty minutes of skipping is as good for your heart and weight loss effort as running a couple of miles. One hour of rope skipping will rid you of 1,300 calories. Not bad, for an exercise that only requires a piece of rope and some free time.

Jumping rope also does a better job protecting your joints. It certainly is easier on the knee joints than running because the impact of each jump is handled by both legs, simultaneously.

Unlike jogging, jumping rope is also good for your arms. The shoulders get a good workout from keeping that rope in motion. It is no wonder boxers and wrestlers do a lot of rope skipping, since it works wonders for their footwork while at the same time helping them stay in shape.

To wrap it up, rope skipping is a fun and efficient way of losing weight. Combine it with other exercises that can be performed at home and make sure you do at least a 30-minute workout each day.

HOLIDAYS??

2010-06-11T22:29:00.003+08:00

Answer : Yes but No.

Holiday's been about going market, taking care of my grandma, cousins and dogs. Fetch them here and there. And rope skipping. It's everyday routine. How realistic! Sorry mates. I had to turn down every invites to go out. I don't have much time for myself eh. Today, some stupid dog bit my KoFi! Damn, i was helpless, as I was walking my the other dog, Snoopy and my little cousin followed me to walk the dog. I saw my dog playing with the stray dogs.. I thought it was okay. Seconds later, I heard growling and howling. That stupid dog bit my dog's neck, shook him and pushed him to the ground. I can't leave my cousin on the road by herself.. There was so many facts running through my head. If I go there unarmed, I'll get bitten as well. I could only screamed for my dog. I ran back to get an umbrella to chase it away. Before I could do that, a man who was jogging near by chased the dog away. I was grateful, though I didn't get the chance to thank him. I was so nervous to check on my dog's condition. My dog ran back home with blood stains on his body and face. It was scary. I gave him water and cleaned my dog with towel. Believe it or not, I was shivering and crying. The only word that comes out from my mouth is.. "Pity my Kopi".. He was howling in pain.. and I watched him from a distance helplessly. His neck is painful, and his left eye is red, and it is reddish around his eyes. Lucky thing, he still has appetite to eat. I applied some medicine on the wounds, though I can only clean it thoroughly cause' he growls when I touch his neck. Now, he's just sleeping on his towel. I hope he gets better. What a day!

rope skipping.

2010-05-31T22:16:00.002+08:00

baby steps alright. i used to do approx. 30 times 1 lap. now i can jump 100 times 1 lap. 1000 jumps in a day. though, i stopped every 1 lap. i'm not supposed to. i'm supposed to do fast pace and slow pace without stopping. my stamina ain't that good yet. it's improving. out of the sudden, i have the determination to look good. i've been rope skipping everyday now. it's like my daily routine. if i miss it, i'll feel weird. it's slow to burn those stubborn fats but i'm not going to give up. it's all about looking good and feeling healthy. wish me luck.

routines.

2010-05-28T12:15:00.004+08:00

sigh. my pig judy hong left to INDIA yesterday. she finally arrived in Mangalore today. safely. my aunt came back yesterday. life's so boring without friends around. well, now that my pig is gone, dog duty is on me. so i have to do some daily routines everyday. sweep the floor. laundry. eat. bath. no tv! go online. evening exercise. walk the dog. feed the dog. etc. etc. night is worse! no idea what to do..!!!

total bored-ness

2010-05-19T10:17:00.003+08:00

Here comes another random post.

It's so boring here! Gosh. No car to go out. TV can't be on! WiFi got problem.

Just got it stabilized. I hope it'll stay like that until the TV is on back by itself!

So now that I'm technology doomed, I need to find myself a classic entertainment to fill up my free time. Like reading, play badminton.. do work. For the upcoming events.

My sister's gonna leave to India for internship like in 1 week time.

Then KL to work. So..I'm gonna be here alone!!!

I can already visualize how boring my life would be here. I won't be seeing her after she left cause by the time she's back from India, I'll be in Labuan already.

Now I'm thinking of not going back to Penang during Raya.

Hmm.. Abby, Lynn, and Saidy confirm going home during raya.

I'll be lonely in both islands!!! oh no!!!

I'm home.

2010-05-12T14:27:00.002+08:00

Hey people. Oh yeah. I'm bloggin' from Penang. :)

I've been home for a few days now. It's so boring without my UMSKAL friends.

i miss you guys.

+ lots of my friends are not here.

Glad that my f6 friends are still here or coming back.

Going to hang out tomorrow.

Yesterday my aunt and my sister wanna go to Tao at Auto City to have dinner.

I was driving, and I was sure of the way but,
Thanks to my aunt, we got lost!!

In Butterworth, at the highway..

And the only think we can think of is to get out of that place.

Well, we managed to get out.

So we kinda just took a trip at the Penang Bridge to and fro,

and back to Penang Island's e-Gate to have dinner.

Instead of Tao at e-Gate, we had Old Town White Coffee.
Spent 2 hours driving to find our way out!

Brilliant.
Well, tomorrow I'm going to hang out with my f6 class mates.

2 more to go.

2010-04-30T19:58:00.002+08:00

2 more papers to go! Haha.

I can't wait to go back..Corporate Communication is gonna be a hard paper..CAUSE I KNOW NOTHING!!!!! And Japanese paper. I miss Sensei.. he's so adorable.

I started packing. And I have no idea how to continue packing.

Been hanging out my friends. I had fun. :)

Life's been...

2010-04-17T16:10:00.002+08:00

Glad that everything is over. This week is study week. 5 days had passed and I only touched 2 subjects! C.L.E.V.E.R

So not in the mood to study!! But anyway, I'll get my readings done. Just got to know my Judy is going to INDIA. Like damn "NEAR"..but anyway, I'm gonna miss that pig!! :'(

Wish her luck though. ♥

Life's been hectic, chaotic..anything that ends with a -TIC.

Well of course, other than that. Life's pretty sweet and fun. ;)

Few more weeks and I'm gonna fly back home to Penang. One thing I hate to do is PACKING!!

I gotta pack all my stuff, and when I mean all..it's A-L-L, and put it in the store room, cause I'm gonna move next sem. Have to go through all the trust-your-room mate phase all over again.

I hope Abby could be my room mate again next sem.

I am supposed to be studying and here I am bloggin'! ..Watched 3 movies..each for few minutes. Finished Season 2 of Supernatural. Not a new season but who cares. Any interesting movies will do. Hey, it's an entertainment-free island. Outdated movie is still a movie. ;)

Gotta get back to studying. Took me so long to finish one page! Damn!

TURN OFF DAY!

2010-04-09T19:55:00.003+08:00

I slept at almost 4am yesterday trying to do work.. Finish up techno. 3 more to go.

Techno presentation went pretty well with Java and Flash.

I already had a really turn off day to start with.

I woke up 2 days in a row with a neck pain, flu and cough. Having hard time to sleep these nights with my nose block, and I can't get a proper sleep. With all the pressure and all that, I get agitated easily. Almost fought with Kube.

I was rushing like mad lady this morning trying to pass up my work to sensei, collect money..talk to people..prepare for techno..until 6+..I finally get to relax.

Went late for CC class..

And I look forward to go for McD..to relax and enjoy my meal..and then plan changed.

Urgh! Mood gets turn off easily! wad da heck..

So now..what am i gonna have for dinner?... *thinkin'*

2010-04-07T01:39:00.001+08:00

Fell sick again. Hate cough! Went to see the doctor twice today. Saidy and Kube accompanied me to the doc this morning. And just now, Lynn accompanied me too for the 2nd time. A trip to the hospital. This flu and cough thing kinda freaks people out huh. Especially with the H1N1 thing..

I'm so glad I've finished up java. Now I can go to sleep..Yesterday night couldn't sleep at all. Hope I could sleep well tonight.

Blackle. Google

How is Blackle saving energy?

Blackle was created by Heap Media to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to save energy. Blackle searches are powered by Google Custom Search.

Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. “Image displayed is primarily a function of the user’s color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen.” Roberson et al, 2002

In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the popularity of the search engine. Since then there has been skepticism about the significance of the energy savings that can be achieved and the cost in terms of readability of black web pages.

We believe that there is value in the concept because even if the energy savings are small, they all add up. Secondly we feel that seeing Blackle every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy.

How can you help?

We encourage you to set Blackle as your home page. This way every time you load your Internet browser you will save a little bit of energy. Remember every bit counts! You will also be reminded about the need to save energy each time you see the Blackle page load.

Bye Bluey!

2010-03-24T15:31:00.003+08:00

As much as I ♥ the design of CSL Blueberry i-9000, I got rid of it just now. Sad but yeah. :(

I bought it because it supports 2 Sim cards in one phone. But Blueberry kinda have problem receiving messages, hang, interruption during making phone calls. I've asked 2 users using Blueberry..And yeah. They have the same problem too. Though I traded it for a much better brand, my favourite brand NOKIA! :) So now i'm back with 2 phones. 2 better quality phones. My Nokia 6233 is a lil psycho now though. But I still love it.

early rush.

2010-03-24T01:17:00.003+08:00

I was rushing to finish Java this morning. I ran like some mad lady to Ms Chin's office with Jac. Lucky thing, Alvin Bryan was there to help me to spot my errors. Yu Jin and Siva went to buy me McD!.. :)

Then I spent my day in the library.. doing Jap and Math.

Saidy and his group had CC presentation. Chris and Saiful almost had a fight.

They were pissed with each other..like obviously.

After that, I hung out with Saidy and Kube.

Had dinner, went to Math class. Yu Jin and Kube were watching New Police Story 4, while Saidy and I were watching Dead Silence near the bus stop.

& then..home sweet home. :)

i had a heart beat fast moment today.

Bush Fire!

2010-03-23T01:39:00.003+08:00

Weather was a little crazy today. Since the day I came back from CNY, there were no tears from the sky until today morning, out of the blue, it RAINS! I was looking at myself in the mirror this afternoon, while Abby took her nap..and I heard a loud noise as if someone wasted tonnes of water. Abby thought it was raining heavily. Took me a while to flip the curtain and check out what's going on outside. I was shocked to find out it was not water! It was FIRE! That's how hot the weather is. Well, it was just right behind our blog. The strong wind certainly helping the fire to burn the super dry grasses. We didn't run away, instead we took pictures to update our blog. :) The wind kinda blew it the other way, away from our block. So it's safe. I just hope it rains!!! I felt like a roasted turkey in an oven!

Campin' in Batu Manikar!

2010-03-22T10:48:00.010+08:00

@Batu Manikar. the Sunset
_ photo grabbed from Ivyno

3 days 2 nights at Batu Manikar. Oh yes! Everything here is by the beach. I attended a camp organized by the JPA for Paramedic and Bencana Alam. I had fun. 3 days 2 nights sleeping in the tent by the beach. Most of friends are there, leaving facebook dead..except for Abby Kong and Chris.

Friday, 19th March 2010

I was rushing to finish Techno assignment due to the late discovery of the format! Well, I decided to go for class last minute. I followed Imah to campus. I brought my heavy sports bag that contained all my clothes for the camping trip. I was relieved that I managed to finish the assignment with the help of my team mates. And guess what, I accidentally deleted the file! and emptied the RECYCLE BIN!!!! WTF! I had to rush for the following class and pass up my Japanese homework.. But luckily, Abby was there to finish it. I was supposed to catch the 2pm bus to the camp site, but later on, I decided to take the 7pm bus with Saidy, Kube and Anass. Lynn and Jac went there earlier to set up the tent. Dilly dally here and there; waiting for people to fill up the bus, we reached about 9pm. Changed and listen to boring speech but the guy is funny though. The person who gave the speech looks like Alvin Bryan..haha! :) After dinner and some group arrangements, we went to bed at 12+ ~1 a.m.

Saturday, 20th March 2010

I slept till 3.30am and then woke up to bath as there are only 2 cubicles for the girls to bath. And there are 150+ people camping there. When I finished my bath, it's already 5am. Just imagine how long I stood and waited! And after me..voila! long queue!..It was bright, and I could see the view clearly. It is beautiful. Windy and the blue sea just made you feel calm. With super warm 2 hours sleep, I continued my day trying to stay up and enjoyed the activities. As usual, there are marching. All of us had CPR practical test. Nothing much to do but just wait for our turn. This is when we all of us went sitting near the beach, enjoying the view..talking, went to have Keropok Lekor at the coffee shop near by. Love the Lekor and the sauce. My next destination for good Keropok Lekor.

Took a nap..My CPR practical went well. The practical continues. We had fun singing at the playground. Reminds you of your childhood. We talked and had fun with lots of people there at the playground. I had a great night until some people came up with annoying lines and actions! Urgh! Drives me crazy for a few minutes! :P But I got over it in just a while. Some over reacting thing..Haha

Then we sat down and watched few minutes performances by the Paramedic and Bencana Alam people. I fell asleep during the speech! It's almost midnight and we had to go for jungle tracking. All the girls who have their "MOON" thing are not allowed to go..including me! Due to some superstitious beliefs. Well, nothing to lose. So everyone went for jungle tracking..The rest took their shower and go to bed early.

Sunday, 21st March 2010

I had a good 5 hours sleep. It was cold unlike the previous night. I had my long sleeve shirt and long track suit on. Cozy. I woke up early to brush my teeth. And had a few minutes chat with Kube and others. Then, I went back to sleep since nothing's on. Kube asked Veron to wake me up for breakfast. We had marching. Then we hung out at the playground. I had fun. :)

We had simulation competition. We screwed up the simulation practical. Haha. Syasya was like "you patah dua belah kaki ke? x payah la rawat. potong saja!" :D After that, we packed our stuff, "demolished" the tent, and cleared up the place. Then, we just hung out at the coffee shop, eating..and chatted. Sat on the ground, played walkie talkie and had fruit rojak. I had good time. :)

Then there're prize giving ceremony and short speeches to end the camp. The bus came and fetched us back around 6+. I was too tired to do 2 buckets of laundry. So I went to bed at 10pm and woke up at 10 am. 12 hours of sleep! And now I'm blogging..

a lil boring and frustrated when need to use the washroom!

but i had a great time with my friends.

cool experience. ♥

Duplicate?

2010-03-16T02:08:00.001+08:00

I found someone who was and is floating in the same air as I am.

Haha. Funny & Weird.

play no more!

2010-03-16T00:24:00.002+08:00

We had a surprise belated birthday steamboat for Saidy yesterday at the Beach Cafe.

Things didn't go as plan but all ended well. Exhausted alright..but I had fun. :)

Sad to say. Fun's over now. No more playing. Now that I realized that I have so much to do (which I realized it long time ago, but had been procrastinating.. blame it on my laziness!)..

I need to finish up everything asap since I'm having a major event coming up soon, which is the SSIL Night! Exciting..but It's really close to finals! DOOM!

And if I didn't finish my job asap now, I won't have time to study for finals. I don't wanna screw up my finals for sure! So wish me luck guys.

Happy B'Day!

2010-03-11T21:14:00.003+08:00

Happy 21st Birthday Saidy!

May you always be happy and good luck in your future undertakings.

layin' low.

2010-03-07T18:28:00.001+08:00

Well, lets see..What to write here. I wish I could write something more personal about my life.

That'll make my blog more interesting eh? Well, I still need my own private zone. :)

Anyways.. Stuff that I don't ever expect to happen to me, happened here in this island. Total different scenario back in another island. Besides having assignments, mid terms, and dealing with books, so far, you can conclude that my life has been pretty dramatic that I think I could even write a book about it..or make a movie out of it. (I'm not being self-obsess here.. Haha :P )

I'm gonna lay low a lil bit now. Life's been crazy these days.

circle.

2010-03-05T21:36:00.006+08:00

imagine yourself,

running...

you wanna get out from an empty land.

you just keep running and running..

go up the hill, down the hill..

sprained your ankle,

fell on the ground..

and as you run..

you see places that you think you don't ever wanna pass by again,

and there are places with breath taking sceneries that you just can't take your eyes off;

it makes you wonder what's at the end of the long road.

and for sure, you hope that it'll be a beautiful place;

but when you reach at the end of the road,

you realized, that it is the starting point of the freakin' long run.

and you are back at the empty land.

you've been through so much;

but towards the end..

you found that all these while,

you are running in circle.

how would you feel?

i think, no matter where u end up,

make yourself happy! :)

happening.

2010-03-04T20:55:00.004+08:00

it's like a delicacy.

there's additional spice now.

but i've lost my sense of taste.

and now i no longer know what it taste like.

sigh.

it went well.

2010-03-02T22:18:00.003+08:00

my heart beats twice faster than usual.

i thought i would get stuck when i'm doin' it..

gosh. "i'm very very anxious" he said.

the look on his face.

and my mind just went blank!

i was nervous.

and i told myself to take deep breath..
and i could do it.

and yeah..my Jap self introduction test went well.

it was smooth.

math mid term went pretty okay too.

Self Introduction.

2010-02-28T23:41:00.008+08:00

じこしょかい。

はじめまして。

ホン　ギィンティンです。

ハニー　どよんでください。

マレーシアじんです。

サバだいがくラブアンコ　の　がくせいです。

ラブアンじょほうがくぶ　マルテミデア　テクノロジ　の　がくせいです。

わたしのふるさとは　ペナン　の　バヤン . レパスです。

どおぞ　よろしく　おねがいします。

Feelin' different now that I can write and read both Hiragana & Katakana.

Fun language to learn! =)

Tomorrow got Self Introduction test and Mid Term's on Friday! Nervous!

Got Math test on Tuesday. Urgh! Certainly no Lurv. for Math.

But anyway, wish me luck for both tests!!

And by the way, today's Chap Goh Meh. The end of Chinese New Year and it's also Valentine's Day based on the Chinese calendar.

So Happy Valentine's Day again everyone! :)

Don't look down on words..

2010-02-22T11:54:00.003+08:00

Hey guys..

I'm now back in Labuan..

Chinese New Year was fun..ate a lot! (as usual..)

Spent most of my time with family.

Now that I'm back here..I'm all down to assignments.

Technopreneurship really drives me crazy to the max!

That's not the only assignment I have now..

But I'm gonna have to take it slow.

I spent my first day back here hanging out with friends, to celebrate Puyang's birthday.

I had fun on Saturday night, it's just that things went a lil haywire.

Whatever happened made me realized that words play a really important role in our life.

Without it, there's no communication. And then there'll be misunderstandings..

People won't get to understand each other without it.

I learnt my lesson.

I'm sorry.

Hello KL. buhbye Pumpkin Island.

2010-02-10T15:47:00.003+08:00

Reached KL at 12.45pm.

Watched Case 39 with Yu Jin. He definitely found it boring!

But ain't so bad to me. =)

Anyway, thanks to the pressure..I can't hear clearly..both of my ears.

I had flu and a lil cough now. So I have sexxxy voice.

I'll be back in Penang by Friday.

Tonnes of assignments yet to be completed.

So much for Chinese New Year!

used?

2010-02-06T21:39:00.002+08:00

Have you ever felt like you've been used?

Like you're not being appreciated?

Friends that made friends with you for some reason, for their own benefits and not by heart?

They come to you only when they need you.

They come to you only when they feel lonely.

Sometimes I get that feeling from people around me.

What is friend? A person you know well and regard with affection and trust

I mean, what is their definition of friendship?

It hurts when you value that friendship so much, and towards the end,

you found out that It's all fake right from the beginning.

But there's nothing you could do about it.

That's people.

That's how life is.

hectic week and a bad day.

2010-02-06T21:15:00.003+08:00

Hey people. It has been a while since my last entry.

Well, this week was a hectic week and still is for me!

There were Java and Multimedia mid terms, Math quiz, Japanese homework, Corporate Communication assignment to pass up, classes..and I'm so so glad it's all over.

But I still have to finish the new math tutorial questions and Japanese homework before I go back next Wednesday for Chinese New Year!! 3 more days and HELLO KAY-ELLE. Damn, not to forget that we still have corporate communication assignment cause we had to RE-DO! just like every other groups.

After CNY, there'll be Japanese quiz, Math mid term, and Technopreneur Business Plan to pass up.

Funny that I still have time to blog now. =)

Oh yeah. Forgot to elaborate on the "bad day".

I enjoyed my night yesterday with Lynn, Saidy, Esywara, Chris, and Siva.

We went to UK to get some stuff and then proceeded to Mum's Snow House and had dinner.

The meal yesterday was pretty sucky except for the Snow whatever dessert.

Maybe because I had too much sweet stuff yesterday,

chocolates included. Hershey's and Kinder Bueno! yummy! and = FAT! but who cares;

I had a sore throat when I got back yesterday. It became worse when I had problem swallowing my own saliva when I sleep. Damn, my throat hurts. Even now.

I woke up exactly at 5.45 a.m, searching for my sore throat medicine in the dark as I couldn't turn the light on since Abby's sleeping, and swallowed it and went back to sleep.

When I woke up, I was attacked by bad flu! and I had problem talking as my throat is painful.

So "fortunate" that my girl monthly thingy came as well! URGH. How "comfortable".

Felt completely strength-less today. I've been swallowing pills today.

I so need a proper rest,but I had a lot to do as you already know.

Life's all about assignments! What a life!

Junko Furuta: The Girl Who Went Through 44 Days of Torture

2010-01-17T14:08:00.003+08:00

DAY 1: November 22, 1988: Kidnapped
Kept captive in house, and posed as one of boy’s girlfriend
Raped (over 400 times in total)
Forced to call her parents and tell them she had run away
Starved and malnutritioned
Fed cockroaches to eat and urine to drink
Forced to masturbate
Forced to strip in front of others
Burned with cigarette lighters
Foreign objects inserted into her vagina/anus

DAY 11: December 1, 1988: Severely beat up countless times
Face held against concrete ground and jumped on
Hands tied to ceiling and body used as a punching bag
Nose filled with so much blood that she can only breath through her mouth
Dumbbells dropped onto her stomach
Vomited when tried to drink water (her stomach couldn’t accept it)
Tried to escape and punished by cigarette burning on arms
Flammable liquid poured on her feet and legs, then lit on fire
Bottle inserted into her anus, causing injury

DAY 20: December10, 1989: Unable to walk properly due to severe leg burns
Beat with bamboo sticks
Fireworks inserted into anus and lit
Hands smashed by weights and fingernails cracked
Beaten with golf club
Cigarettes inserted into vagina
Beaten with iron rods repeatedly
Winter; forced outside to sleep in balcony
Skewers of grilled chicken inserted into her vagina and anus, causing bleeding

DAY 30: Hot wax dripped onto face
Eyelids burned by cigarette lighter
Stabbed with sewing needles in chest area
Left nipple cut and destroyed with pliers
Hot light bulb inserted into her vagina
Heavy bleeding from vagina due to scissors insertion
Unable to urinate properly
Injuries were so severe that it took over an hour for her to crawl downstairs and use the bathroom
Eardrums severely damaged
Extreme reduced brain size

DAY 40: Begged her torturers to “kill her and get it over with”
January 1, 1989: Junko greets the New Years Day alone
Body mutilated
Unable to move from the ground

DAY 44: January 4, 1989: The four boys beat her mutilated body with an iron barbell, using a loss at the game of Mah-jongg as a pretext. She is profusely bleeding from her mouth and nose. They put a candle’s flame to her face and eyes.
Then, lighter fluid was poured onto her legs, arms, face and stomach, and then lit on fire. This final torture lasted for a time of two hours.
Junko Furuta died later that day, in pain and alone. Nothing could compare 44 days of suffering she had to go through.
When her mother heard the news and details of what had happened to her daughter, she fainted. She had to undergo a psychiatric outpatient treatment . Imagine her endless pain.

Her killers are now free men. Justice was never served, not even after 20 years.
They deserve a punishment much greater than they had put upon Furuta, for putting an innocent girl through the most unbearable suffering.
This story from 1989 is true. Please spread her story around. Everyone should know about the existence of Junko Furuta’s unimaginable and incomprehensible suffering, and this is why this group has been made.
Invite your friends. Never let her story be forgotten. If this story changes the life of at least one person then it has been worth it.

Rest In Eternal Peace,
Junko Furuta
1989-Eternity

A hell busy beginning for Sem II.

Starting to have assignments..and I have Japanese しゅくだい(homework) and ていせい (correction) every week.

Now I can't complain that I'm bored anymore.

Gosh..so many things in mind!

Oh no! I need motivation to keep me going..

Gotta strive harder to get better result this Sem.

Help!!

argh!!

2010-01-05T20:19:00.004+08:00

damn s.t.u.p.i.d

Blueeeberry.

2010-01-03T11:02:00.003+08:00

Got myself a CSL Blueberry i9000.

The reason I bought this phone is because it has dual active sim features.

Meaning, I don't have to carry 2 phones around.

And it's only RM399. I sold my the other small Nokia phone to Abby..

Still keeping my Nokia 6233..It's no longer a new model anymore.. But I still love it!

Keeping it for now since I already have my Blueberry. [not so rich to get a Blackberry]

Still trying to get used to it..

Here's the photo..

happy new year. 2010

2009-12-31T22:36:00.004+08:00

it's exactly 10.36 pm now.

it's my first time celebrating new year miles away from home.

away from family and friends.

and guess what?

it's so BORRRRIINNNGGG here!!

gosh..i need to get out from this square shaped 4 sided white walls cubicle!

sadly, the night life here ain't so happening.

i certainly couldn't feel the welcoming-new-year kinda thing at the atmosphere.

exaggerating I am.

sad to say, it's true.

in the midst of the boringness I felt,

I wish you all a very Happy New Year.

Welcome 2010. Goodbye 2009.

Forget all the sad and stupid things u did in life,

because in a few hours time,

it is the start of a brand new year.

A brand new beginning!

All the best.

xoxo,

Honey H.

back in Pumpkin Island.

2009-12-30T21:35:00.005+08:00

Hey guys. Well, I'm back in Labuan.

'Labu' in Malay is Pumpkin. So I gave Labuan my own version of name.. Pumpkin Island.

Sounds cute eh?

Anyway, the feeling of getting back here ain't that bad.

It's fun cause' I have a lot of friends here. Getting used to the dehydrated island already.

The interesting part is the journey back to Labuan.

My aunt, Sabrina suggested that I should start this entry grandly..

I couldn't think of a bombastic words to use as introduction to this.

Lets start with the 27th of December 2009.

I was supposed to catch a flight from Penang to KL at 9 p.m but I decided to follow my aunt back with car since she's going back to KL, and according to the original plan, she was supposed to fetch me from the airport to her house. So might as well follow her home right?..

The journey began at 12p.m. We started our journey early to avoid the jam at the highway.

A great start indeed. We took the wrong turn to highway! =) But..we managed to get back on track in just a few minutes. We wanted to pump petrol as there were only 2 bars left but missed the Shell station. My aunt insisted that she wanted to pump the petrol at Shell station because she could use the company's credit card.

And then my uncle rang us up, told us to meet up at Parit Buntar. He brought us to the temple and lunch with his wife. So we spent roughly 2 hours. It was already 2p.m + by then..

My aunt and I hit the road.. and then the last bar of the petrol started blinking. We kept our cool..and tried searching for the nearest Shell. Since we couldn't travel far to find Shell, we went scouting for Shell in Taiping instead.

Phew!~! We managed to find Shell. It was raining heavily. When it rains, there's traffic jam. All the engined turtles crawling on the road. Drove my aunt nuts for sure.

Well, we managed to get to the highway. Made a few stops to search for Touch n' Go reload.

Now that we could continue driving smoothly..traffic went nuts.

120km/hr.. and abruptly 20km/hr at the HIGHWAY!! The entire journey was like that. And guess what time I reached Subang...9 p.m. I was supposed to be on the plane!

Met up with my uncle with his family at Old Town. Chit chatted. And went home to get some rest.

28th December 2009.

Was supposed to catch a 7.35 am flight to Labuan. Woke up early. Everything was smooth.

Left the house. Hit the highway. Stupid sign boards. Wrong turn!!! Another brilliant way to start the day. I was supposed to catch a flight at LCC Terminal..but took the wrong turn to KLIA.

Well I missed the flight!! On my way to the counter, I saw someone familiar running towards the counter. To my suprise, it was Afif. Kube, Lynn, Afif and I were supposed to be in the same flight. Afif and I missed the flight. He woke up late.

We had Japanese class that evening, and it is a must to attend otherwise we'll be kicked out from the class. Funny thing was, Afif and I both went for the interview together.

Sensei : "Are you sure you all want Monday class? What if the flight is postponed or you miss the flight?"

Afif and I : "The probability of that happening is very low"..

And look what happened to the both of us!! Ironic!

My aunt waited cause' she's afraid that I'll missed the flight and I missed the flight indeed.

So she sent Afif and I to KLIA to see whether we could get tickets to Labuan.

Afif's dad is a staff there, so he helped us to get open tickets meaning only as stand by passengers. And I paid freaking RM664 for that ticket!!! A huge hole on the pocket!

Well, fortunate for me that I got a place, but I felt bad that Afif didn't.

The least I could do to help him is to explain to sensei. Good thing that sensei accepted him.

Well that's pretty much what happen.

Dramatic indeed.

Meow's BBQ.

2009-12-18T11:40:00.005+08:00

I think the title explains it all..

We went for Meow's bbq at Some "rumah peranginan" PBA. It's directly opposite Hard Rock Hotel.

Love the place. It's huge and cheap for sure.

But anyway..I had lots of fun..updating each other with stories.

Meow's mum even gave us Christmas present.

And we went there empty handed..(-.-)

Of course.. we had cam whoring moments! =)

Star Walk 2009

2009-12-14T11:33:00.001+08:00

Woke up early morning yesterday for Star Walk..

We walked from 7.30 a.m till 9 a.m all the way from Giant..to Pisa.

The long way of course. =)

Here are some photos that has been taken..

We had TITAS drama just now. Had lotsa fun.

I'm here for 5 months already..Time really flies huh..

5 months in this island, and lots had happened.

Sweet, weird, tension moments...

Now I can really get my 8 hours sleep without having to worry about assignments and exams!

Though, couldn't get my 8 hours sleep tonight.

Have to leave early morning tomorrow to KK.. I mean today..since it's 12.13 am now.

This time, I'll be staying at Tune Hotel with my roomie..Ms. Kong

No curfew, and we are free to wear whatever we want.

Well, I hope my trip there this time will be enjoyable..

Till I'm back from KK..

Take care. =)

Just Random.

2009-11-11T15:18:00.002+08:00

What makes life simple?
What makes life complicated?
What makes life interesting?

The answer is YOU, yourself.
It makes life so much easier when you enjoy every single thing that you are doing.
Life is so much easier when you don't think too much.

However, life does get complicated.
And trying to escape from it, isn't going to make your troubles go away.

I've been talking to people, lots of them.
I know their stories; what they are going through.
Some live their life happily, Some got their heart broken.
People get hurt. That's life.

Sometimes, there's nothing much you could do about it but just to keep quiet and endure it, or to let it go.
They said time is a healer. Yeah I do believe that with time, things get better.

There is a difference between forgetting and letting go.
You can never forget things that leave an impact in your life, but you can always try to let go.

There are similarities in all the scenarios that I came across. People are naturally blind.
They chose to see what they want to see, and refuse to see what that is in front of them.

Learn to appreciate what you have in front of you,
Cause' by the time you want to appreciate it, it'll probably be too late.
Time doesn't has a RESET button. When it's gone, it's gone.

finals..

FINALLY!!!

finished every assignments..

Well I couldn't enjoy my time yet..

I still have props for TITAS drama..Now only I really have the time to do it,

But apparently, final exam is NEXT WEEK!!!

I really hope the props people could help out during exam week.

I couldn't get things done by this week, thanks to the super "convenient" bus schedule they have.

Bad thing about being a PEARLians. I'm still considering about moving in to Beta.

Things are so much easier if I live in Beta, but it's really comfortable in Mutiara.

I can't possibly split myself to 2. Dilemma!

I shall think about it later. I shouldn't even be blogging right now!

I'm supposed to be looking at my boring papers and study!..Wish me luck for finals people.

Can't wait for all these to be over!

I'm expanding sideways..How irritating..But I've been going to gym now..

There's an internal family biggest loser competition at home.

My sis and my aunt has been going to gym these days..And I don't wanna be the winner.

I wanna be the biggest loser. Haha.

Presentations.

In a few hours time, I need to present the outline of my essay in the class!
Oh so nervous!!!!

Tomorrow, there's presentation for study skill.
Wednesday, presentation for programming game!

We're so doomed for the C++ game! We just started yesterday.
But we're proud of ourselves. We managed to figure out most of the codes.
Hopefully could get it done by tomorrow!

Can't wait till Wednesday is over.. I've been expanding sideways now.
Need to exercise!! Go to the gym..

Then gotta prepare for TITAS presentation, TITAS drama and ENGLISH essay.

And study for finals?? Aih...

Gym for Priz and I tomorrow...

Jessie James - I Look So Good (Without You)

2009-10-18T12:04:00.003+08:00

Hey boy, I would have thought that
When you left me I'd be broken
With my confidence gone, so gone

Hey boy, I would have thought that
When you said that you don't want me
I'd feel ugly and sense something was wrong

Standing in front of the mirror
My skins never been clearer
My smiles never been whiter

Chorus :
I look so good without you
Got me a new hair due
Looking fresh and brand new
Since you said that we were through
Done with your lies
Baby, now my tears dry
You can see my brown eyes
Ever since you said goodbye
I look so good
I look so good without you
I look so good
I look so good without you

Hey, I never would have thought that
When you left me I'd feel sexy
And so good in my skin again

And I never would have known that
I'd be dreaming so much better
Without you in my head

Standing in front of the mirror
My clothes never fit better
My, but I've never been louder

Repeat Chorus

Now baby, my body's looking better than before
Ain't biting my nails since you walked out of the door
I realize now I deserve so much more than what you give
Than what you give

I look so good without you
Got me a new hair due
Looking fresh and brand new
Since you said that we were through

Repeat Chorus 2x

Finally, the convocation week is over.

We were in charge of the English Academic booth...

I definitely enjoyed the entire 4 days of the exhibition..

I got to know my new friends, acquaintances, and friends and even lecturers better now..

Madam Siti, our English Academic lecturer is a super sporting lady..

We played one round of carom... And she won! Ish..

I played badminton with Mr. Nordin in the middle of nowhere in the tower.

Took a few photos.. Will post it up soon..

This week is just another hectic week.. What else but assignments and mid terms.

Finals is just around the corner..

I'll try to update my blog.. to keep my friends and family updated.

Till here for now.

Gotta go for class..
