From My Window

I felt so bad. I was being indecisive about moving again. But my grandma told me that since I've decided on it earlier, and after all the trouble I put my mummy into, I should just go for it and give it a try. I need to grow up. I seriously do. I'll miss home but I will survive. Yes I will. Thank you mummy

2. She prescribed me a load full of useless medicine, and taking it for 2 days is enough to give me this weird mood swing and I don't like the mood swing that I'm having because it feels like all the energy is being drained out of me and I don't feel like doing anything but lie in bed all day.

Sze Mun was absent from advertising class today because:

1. This weird fever came attacking her yesterday night.

2. She can't seem to stop coughing all of a sudden

3. and causes her throat to sore like nobody's business

4. and lastly, she just has an itchy backside and felt like going for a swim on a hazy day.

So, I woke up at 10 with a blocked nose, still coughing away and decided for real that I'm not going for class. And Chris encouragingly reminded me that it was only a 2 hours class. Weeee so we went swimming in the afternoon and for once the sun was not blazing hot. By 1 we were already dead tired and bored of swimming and I said lets go for class since advert only starts at 2. But suddenly I remembered I have nothing with me. No notebook, no pen, nothing. So we went ps2ing instead. And in the evening we went shopping and it's a record!! I bought 2 bags in a week's time. Lucky thing they were having sales or my mummy would've slaughter me especially after that bag I bought from m)phosis yesterday. Overall it was a good day out, but the haze had to spoil it in the end by giving me a stupid headache. Darn haze!! And I'm feeling guilty for missing advert today! Great, now that I've pontenged, I will not be blessed with full marks for my finals!! *Sobz*

New skin for my blog I mean. You see, I have been browsing around for a new blog skin for quite some time and have yet to find a suitable one. The problem with my skin is...the background is WHITE!! Yea, so what so big deal about white background? Bacause of the white background, I can only use dark fonts and dark fonts are boring. And if I ever decide to use light coloured fonts, this particular colour-blind friend of mine, Chris will have problem reading. So fine, background colour decided- black.

Now, lets talk about the layout. The main reason why blog existed was to allow bloggers to post entries, right? And just look at the entries column of my layout. Its narrow and it has an individual scroll bar on its own. And this is exactly what Mr. Eric, my web tech lecturer mean by a crappy site. So I went browsing around blogskins for a skin with a HUGE column for my posts and I found NONE. Most skins were created with mighty huge graphics as the header and a navigation bar which takes up 3 quarter of the whole page and left with this tiny column for entries. What the hell??

So fine, I thought to myself. Now that I have been taught how to use Dreamweaver I might as well come up with a skin of my own since I'm ever so picky. Just when I was about to start on that, it had to hit me that I have ths major important web tech assignment to do!! And so I decided to pick the next skin I see on blogskin and poof! There u go, a brand new skin. The graphics still take up half the page but heck, I'll just use it while I continue hunting for a better one.

Can't resist posting an entry on Friday the 13th, not like I'm superstitious or anything, just for the fun of it. So I had no class yesterday and as usual took my grandma to the hospital for a routine check-up. And as usual, we had to get to the hospital by cab. So we waited at this junction just outside the house and AS USUAL i wouldn't let my grandma carry her own little black bag that she use to carry her thermos flask, but yesterday she insisted on carrying it herself so fine. And AS USUAL I kept my eyes wide open for suspicious looking motorcyclist coz of the whole lot of snatch theft incidents round the neighbourhood and it was my "lucky" day. I almost became a victim.

The guy was initially aiming at my grandma's cute lil bag but i manage to grab it away from my grandma. And his motorcycle was inches away from hitting my grandma. !$^&^^#*%$#@ He refuse to give up and came for my sling bag instead. And me being ever so smart climbed over the barricade and jumped across this reli huge drain. The option was to jump and risk falling into the drain or to let him grab my sling bag and drag me along with his motorcycle. This is such a f***ed up world la!! Pardon my language but this is exactly how I feel each time the incident crosses my mind.

And it's not the first time this kind of crap has happened to someone close to me. My first encounter with these snatcher idiots was when I was walking from school to the LRT station with Mei Kuan. She was on the phone when a guy coming from the opposite direction and snatched her phone. Me being as hotheaded as ever, refuse to let that guy get away and went searching for him all around town, found him, called the police, lodge a report, case closed and Sze Mun became the heroin of the day.

The second time however, I was not there to save the day la. My aunt who stays next door was walking (more like strolling) home with a friend from a nearby bus stop. A motorcycle came up to them quietly from the back and snatched her handbag away. As if having her handbag snatched was not bad enough, that !^%@*&;!^&^! guy pushed my aunt to the ground leaving her knees, elbow and palms badly wounded!! AAARGH what in the freaking world is wrong with these people??!!!

Fine, sad stories aside. Its friday =D And Glitz audition was on this afterrnoon. Rushed to go root for a few friends after class. Garrett did ok despite the whole nerve wreck but hell yea, Tifff said she would like someone like you in the finals. You should be happy. Cheer up!! It was just a tiny bit out of tune, no big deal. Jess and Erni was awesome as usual. Had dinner with Garrett and Joachim, lepaked at Maju, the place where all the prefects used to go lepak after school, miss that place. And our good Lord had to let me bump into whacky head Subi. Can Friday the 13th get any better? I love weeekends =D

Uni life has been busy or at least I've been keeping myself busy. Submission week is over *I can hear Garrett saying No, it's not!!* but it doesn't mean we will be free for the rest of the semester. Instead of the plain boring essays, group presentation, projects and essays will be coming up next along with mid-term test. More headaches and sleepless, head cracking nights. But it is at times like these, you know who your real friends are. And I am glad to say I have a real bunch of friends. Friends who stayed up with me till late at night, and sometimes even early in the morning to finish up assignments. And even kept me awake with smses. Friends who woke me up for morning classes and cheered me up on gloomy mornings. And friends who had to bear with my tantrums throwing. Despite you guys "bullying" me all the time, I must admit you guys are err great. Yea u heard me right. Me love u guys.. and girl =)

When you look back on times we had

I hope you smile

was on your side when nobody could hold us down

We claimed the brightest star

And we, we came so far

And no they won't forget

Whenever you remember times gone by

Remember how we held our heads so high

When all this world was there for us

And we believe that we could touch the sky

Whenever you remember, I'll be there

Remember how we reached that dream together

Whenever you remember

When you think back on all we've done

I hope you're proud

When you look back and see how far we've come

It was our time to shine

And nobody could hold us down

They thought they'd see us fall

But we, we stood so tall

And no we won't forget

Whenever you remember times gone by

Remember how we held our heads so high

When all this world was there for us

And we believe that we could touch the sky

Whenever you remember, I'll be there

Remember how we reached that dream together

Whenever you remember

We claimed the brightest star

And know that we showed them all

And no they won't forget

Remember how we held our heads so high

When all this world was there for us

And we believe that we could touch the sky

Whenever you remember, I'll be there

Whenever you remember

Whenever you remember

To be Continued

I was greeted by tv cameras on my first day in LUCT and it feels as if I boarded a wrong bus and ended up in some foreign country. I was surrounded by people from so many different countries and they were speaking in some language that I've never heard of. CULTURE SHOCK!! Seriously. Among the 1,800 students this intake, 60% of them are not local and they come from 40 different countries.
The first day was hell. I was looking around hoping so hard to find a familiar face. And since I didn't see anyone I know, I had no choice but to talk to the first person I bump into. Thankfully she's local and she understands english. By the end of the day 1, we were “forced” to adapt to the LUCT culture which is to PLAY HARD.

It's only my second day of uni life today and I'm already feeling all worn-out. The 4 hours bus trip everyday, plus the motion sickness especially when the sun is blazing hot can really kill. Well, guess I've got to get use to it. And to learn to ignore all the cameras. There're just too many to avoid. I hope I'll still be alive by the end of my two week orientation.

MY BLOG IS...

falling apart. Yes I know I haven't been updating. Been busy mapling. Err. Yes, mapling. Its an online MMRPG (Massive Multiplayer Role Playing Game) called Maple Story. Sound familiar now? Some people ask how can I stand such a boring game. Well, thats only because u haven't meet the right people to play it with. It's a good place to meet new friends and to kill time (for people who are still rotting at home like me).
Few weeks back, I went on a short trip with a Adah, Gery and Surin to the National Stud Farm in Perak. Adah's dad manages the farm, so we got free accommodation IN the farm (not in the barn with the horses!). Tried to get the rest of the gang to come but they were all busy with work, driving lessons, etc, etc. So the 4 of us went and stayed for 5 days in the farm and it was mighty fun. Yes, we did pat and feed the horses. Since Gery's really into being a vet, we met the 'horse doctors' for a short chat and went for tours round the farm. It was HUGE and initially we were planning to walk all the way round the farm, but gave up after a few kilometres. We saved a horse from bleeding to death..err ok a lil exaggerated. The horse was actually suffering from a maggot infested wound on its hoof, bleeding quite badly and was obviously in pain. Celebrated Adah's birthday there as well with a barbeque. We did a lot of late-night-chitchatting and fishing, and by the day we leave, we were all fishing experts. It was a short trip but a very memorable one. Glad we had a trip before all of us leave for uni. And Perak's food is still good!!

Last picture taken before my camera ran out of battery.

Attended speech day on saturday. Since both Surin and I were the only ones representing our class, i was expecting to see more of the form 5s. But sadly, only few that i know turned up. The GoH was YM Tunku Datin Sri Marsilla (those of you who went huh? She's the wife of Datuk Hishammuddin). Was suppose to stay for the concert (a teacher told me 5T's drama was really good) but had to leave coz Surin's mom was waiting already. Wonder when I'll be going back CBN again.

If tomorrow starts without me,

And I'm not there to see,

If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,

While thinking of the many things,

we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,

As much as I love you,

And each time that you think of me,

I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,

Please try to understand,

That an angel came and called my name,

And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,

In heaven far above,

And that I'd have to leave behind;

All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,

A tear fell from my eyeFor all my life,

I'd always thought,

I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,

So much left yet to do,

It seemed almost impossible,

That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,

The good ones and the bad,

I thought of all the love we shared,

And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,

Just even for a while,

I'd say good-bye and kiss you,

And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,

That this could never be,

For emptiness and memories,

Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,

I might miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you,

And when I did,

My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,

I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me,

From His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity, And all I've promised you."

Today your life on earth is past,

But here life starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow,

But today will always last,

And since each day's the same way,

There's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful,

So trusting and so true.

Though there were times you did some things,

You knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven,

And now at last you're free.

So won't you come and take my hand,

And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,

Don't think we're far apart,

For every time you think of me,

I'm right here, in your heart.

...but having a day off from work is so much more fun.(I'm sorry Sin Lin but you've really gotta agree with me) Woke up really early this morning to accompany my grandma to the hospital for a check-up. Just a routine thingie and she's doing really well.

And spent the rest of the day with Chris and his cousin, Gregory from Malacca. Went room hunting for Gregory coz he'll be going to UTAR and good thing we found this apartment round SS17 which is really near to UTAR.

So we met up with this Uncle Ooi. He owns 40 lots in that apartment and it's all being rented to students and the room Gregory got was the last one available (lucky him). And it was actually quite a nice room.

So after checking out Greg's room we went over to this Uncle Ooi's house. And least did we expect to see what we saw. His house was full of decoration, vases, lotsa porcelain teapots and cute tiny lil cups. He later told us that all those stuffs that we were looking at are antiques, way back from the 18th century. So chris was like "oh well, they can't be real". And guess what? He was wrong, for once. These pieces were featured in books and Uncle Ooi got them from auctions. He showed us a few really cool ones and its unbelivable how smart chinese people were back then. Each piece has a story of its own to tell and the work of art...amazing. Really fine details that you can only see using a magnifying glass. There is no way anybody will be able to forge the details.

And we found out that he spent 4.5 million bucks (RM) which is almost 90 million RMB on a vase and that vase was actually sitting right there in his house. Is that guy insane or what? Anyway, I had so much fun looking at those stuffs. I mean, you will never be able to fiddle around with antiques like that everywhere. And my favourite was this vase. From the outside, it looked just like an ordinary vase. White with simple carvings of flowers on the outside. But Uncle Ooi told us to look INTO the vase under the light. There were drawings telling a story in the vase! How did the drawings get into a vase that narrow? Nobody knows.

And after the whole discovering antique session we went for lunch and spent the whole evening swimming. And then dinner. Went home feeling extremely tired. Will be having another day off tomorrow. We'll be going shopping! Sorry Sin Lin, but your cake has got to wait =p

Seriously, I've never work so hard or feel so tired my whole entire life. My 7 hours shift was spent on rushing to and fro Isetan and our shop on the concourse level preparing for the launching of the new season tomorrow. And in conjuction with that, there'll be a fashion show. We manage to get models from Elite (I can see somebody drooling already). This friday, 6 p.m. concourse level. Be there!

*Yawn*

I'm seeing stars already. I really need to go to bed.

LIFE HAS BEEN...

...good. Well, not too good actually. Been really bored. Am still working. For U2 in KLCC, so please drop by to say hi. Not as much fun. Working in the bank was way better. At least I didn't have to stand for 8 hours everyday. Miss my friends, miss him.

Need a place to dispose all the unhealthy junk in my head. That's the purpose of this bloggie. And for all you peeps whom I haven't been contacting much. Drop by and see if I've been up to anything naughty.

He's been stressful. Medical school. Can't help it. The temper,gosh. No good. Its contagious. All the best. It'll be over really soon, you'll be okie dokie. I'll be okie dokie too.

Work place. No good. Manager sux. Glad its his last day today. Not everything is bad. People there are pretty nice. So I guess its not so bad. And MK, you were suppose to come visit, EVERYDAY!

Had an 8 hours shift today. Ended at 10p.m. And an early shift at 9.30a.m. tomorrow. How very smart of my manager.

I just want time to fly *wheeeeeee* so I can go back to being a student, for real this time.
