没有大舅的日子:第964天

“仰望 - 杨丞琳”


杨丞琳的新歌。我超喜欢听!和以往我听她那些悲伤歌曲与别不同。
听起来,好像有一种恋爱感觉。。。


歌词:

如果能从来,我的答案会
不会更改,或许等待
守在你身旁,绝对不逃开
不让谁,将我们冲散

不怕风看全,我的孤单
不怕雨纠缠,眼泪擦干
让回忆到带,我将爱保管
别让我,一个人承担
这是去你的遗憾,我会勇敢

#仰望风,能带你回来
  仰望雨,能安静听完
  脸庞,发烫,眼眶,抵抗
  不肯让你离开,丢下我流浪

  仰望你,抱我在胸膛
  仰望梦,能给我力量
  不让爱逃亡,不然心躲藏
  让我坚强

无法预知,我努力
我必需,以往疼痛
假装,执着,我知道
我抬起头,会有你的守候

Rupert Grint-Ed Sheeran....

OK, I'm actually about to log off...
But I'll just take few minutes to blog...

There's this music video I found on YouTube. Honestly, after Tom Felton (commonly known as Draco Malfoy), I thought Rupert Grint (commonly known as Ron Weasley) is the next one to step into the singing business... However, I was wrong...! It's not Rupert after all. It's a new British singer Ed Sheeran 

Seriously, Ed and Rupert does look VERY alike...


Watch this video and judge for yourself... Rupert or Ed singing by the way?

Chatime, My love...

There's this thing.
It's been some time since I had a cup of bubble tea. And also the Taiwan plastic scare made me stay away more from Taiwanese food and drinks, which I love very much.

Honestly, after my trip to Taiwan, I don't really have much chances to taste Taiwanese food. Well, there's actually a Taiwanese restaurant in Gardens Mid Valley, 'Feng Lye' which serves Taiwanese delicious food. However, it's just being too pricey...


Back to the topic.
Recently there's this new obsession among young people in the city about a particular stall. Initially, I have no idea why it is so special. Just bubble milk tea with pearl. But, I was wrong.

Chatime was a drink franchise from Taiwan. They not only serve bubble milk tea, also tea, blended juices and more.


Chatime's outlet in Summit USJ. I prefer to go this outlet than the one in Gardens MV because it's always and always crowded there.



One of my favourite from the menu, 'Black Tea'. Another one was 'Japanese Matcha Red Bean Smoothie'. 


p/s: Writing this post made me crave for Chatime more... I want Chatime, now!

Besides that, there's this promotion going on, collect 10 stamps and get one cup free.

没有大舅的日子:第953天(第二篇)

留住,抓住,记住。。。

拍下在片,留下回忆。

我初次对摄影有好感及兴趣是从Form 5那一年。我参加了摄影学会。我起初的目的是为了好奇和抱着一个贪玩的态度进入摄影学会。我也邀其他朋友一起进入,但她们对那一位老师,学校一名训导老师感到害怕。结果,只有我一个人参加。。。

至少摄影学会里面还有我认识的人,但不熟。以往校园生活,我似乎认识人多人,但只是熟的没有好几个。
就这样我在摄影学会培养了我对摄影的热爱。。。

我还记得,(可能是写这篇文章的关系,我逼自己记起)我在摄影学会的第一个集会,老师叫我们在校园到处走,拍照片,然后3点之后让她看我们的作品。大家便停令她的指示,到处拍照。
我记忆很清晰。早上班的课外活动是在下午进行。我那一间学校从2006年开始有下午班。所以摄影学会的同学便到处走,甚至走进课室与那些学弟学妹一起拍照。我,就无聊的走走,看见我以前的老师时候,大胆的进课室跟她们聊天。出奇的她们没有把我赶出,还跟我聊天。也让我在课室拍照。

归回正题。我到处走走,拍下了许多照片。我没有刻意去挑那一张好,那一张坏。交给老师评论。老实说,我跟那位训导老师不熟。她人确实很好。她对我有评论,同时也称赞,使得我感到开心,安慰。从此,我开始‘恋上’摄影。。。

4年过了。。。我还喜欢摄影。有时候走出街,若身上有一个手机,我会拿起它,拍下我看到的东西。

我排照没有规定什么角度,场景。只要它能带出照片美丽的地方,毫无犹豫我会拍下来。

我培养这个兴趣,变成了习惯。


陈奕迅的'沙龙‘。
为何把这首歌连在这片文章?因它跟摄影有关联。陈奕迅热爱摄影,写出这首歌。

#留住温度,速度,温柔和愤
  凝住今日怎样好
  抓紧生命浓度,坦白流露,感情和态度

“每张都罕有,拍下过,记住过,好过拥有”
“有人性,镜头里总有丰收”

“登高峰一秒,得奖一秒,再破纪录的一秒,港湾晚灯,山顶破晓,摘下怀念,记住每秒。升职那刻,新婚那朝,成为父母的一秒,要拍照的事可不少”


p/s: 其实还有另外一边的故事。关于我故事的主角。只是把他搁走。

Girls and Gossips 2...

I wrote this post of the similar title 2 years back when I was still in Form 6.
The reason why I'm doing this post of same title is that I proved to be right on girls and gossips. They co-exist with each other.

I found out from people around me and also myself, we love to talk, no matter what, be it personal or current issues or just some 'coffee chats'. Girls talk 24/7.
I was to stress out: if you don't gossip, you're not a girl.

So far for the week, I'd been in conversations with lecturer and friends on 'unspoken secrets'. Well, they were not really some secret, it's things that people don't usually speak off. It's like some kind of taboo subject. Throughout my conversation with them, I'd gone depth lengths on discovering what's behind everyone.
I'm not going to write out what we spoke, as they were, as I said before, 'unspoken secrets'...

Jump to conclusion. No matter where I am, what age I am, I discovered that we, girls, women just love to talk. They want others to hear what we think.

Women's nature. Don't use Science to explain it...

Bridal gowns, Weddings...

OK, I'm writing this post not because I'm getting marry... NO! It's just because I think wedding gowns are perfect. They bring out the best in a woman. They 'bring' a woman to another level of her life. They are the meaning of union (not really, but often associated with marriages. Without wedding gowns and suits, marriage is incomplete)

I just randomly looked for some wedding gowns, I myself, thinks they are lovely on the web...
(Taken from thebeautybridal.com)
This Badgley-Mischka Trumpet Gown from the 2012 collection. Well, it's a timeless design. No matter what period of time that bride wore it, this type of gown will never go out of fashion.

Preludio by Manuel Mota. It's one of my all time favourite, the design. It's just so perfect... Beautiful. Timeless. What can I say more? Perfection is what you looked for in weddings, right?

Woah! Another collection from Manuel Mota (Prado). It's really daring, frankly speaking... Bought out your beauty and daring side... 

Manuel Mato's Puma. I love this. Wearing it on you, you feel like a princess, because of the train. Also gave people the mysterious feeling. It's made from silk. 

This gown is simple yet beautiful. Suits beach weddings... The head accessories adds elegance to it.. I think I'll chose this design as my bridal gown. (If I have the chance to walk down the aisle...)

Maggie Sottero's Alandra. I think her designs are fantastic. Especially this ruffled gown. Does it have the fairytale feeling? 

Also from Maggie Sottero (Albeline Rose). I love the details on the gown. Suits a women with temperament. Has a modern feeling to it too... 

Every celebs favourite designer, Vera Wang. This dramatic ivory ruffle ball gown was her Spring 2012 collection. Besides white, ivory coloured gown are good choice too. I love the fairytale feeling from this dress. 

Thought of wearing green for your wedding? You may love Vera Wang's moss green gown. 

Monique Lhuillier's collection from Spring 2012. A good choice for those who doesn't want to wear white. Beige coloured gown is fantastic for you. Stunning. I remembered my cousin also wore a beige coloured gown on her wedding. 

Princess Grace Kelly and Duchess of Cambridge, Katherine or Kate wore this classic design wedding gown for their big day. Monique Lhullier's collection. Inspired by both royals. 



There were some wedding gowns I found. 

Finding someone you love and loves you in return is not easy.
Getting marry is required a lot of courage.
Wearing this gown brings a new chapter to the bride's life.

There are so many sentimental values to wedding gowns. They represent women's true beauty, love, sacrifice, journey into another chapter in their live...

没有大舅的日子:第944天(第二篇)

是,不是。。。

这是个笑话。我听过某人说。说男人像女人口是心非。

女人会或喜欢问那些莫名其妙的问题。虽然口说不会问,不介意,难免忍受不了还是要问。。。
例如:

  1. “你爱我吗?”。这一道问题,如果换成我是男生,我都不知道怎么回答啦!!!不爱你就不会一起啦!!!听起来,看起来很简单,可是它是没有答案。。。
  2. “你会娶我吗?”。我常听的是,“你回家给我吗?”。女生这样问,不知道身为男朋友的你如何反映?“好!马上去!”?不可能吧。。。!男士们,你们不会直接的拒绝吧?惟有躲避罗。。。必须知道结婚是终身大事,不能儿戏。
  3. “我还是你的朋友比较重要?!”。哇!这问题简直是拿他的命!!!女生往往都会拿自己和一些人比较。明知道是没有答案,知道男朋友会难做,还是要问。我觉得问者到问题的女生目的只有一个,试探是否自己的男朋友将自己排在第几位。是否地位比那群朋友更高。
  4. “我在你心中有多重要?”。难言,难言。怎么回答?!当然重要。我爱你吗。很难衡量多重要。。。重要就是了。这问题是个没有答案的问题。
  5. “我比较重要还是你妈?”。如果男生说是妈妈,那岂不是得罪妈妈。如果他说是妈妈,那女生不恨死男生就假!!!


所以说,以上那么模糊,无聊又无奈的问题,最好避免。。。
p/s:知道一些女生还是要问。。。我阻挡不了。

(以上只不过我无端的言论。见谅。)

“洗澡”。。。

不知道大家有没有听过这一首歌?
我在收音机听过。第一次听,觉得不错。但是我只听旋律,没仔细听歌词。第二次听,就在YouTube,看这个词一边唱。


歌词形容一个女孩,自从爱的人离开后,变得很颓废,简直变了垃圾虫。
虽然有一点肮脏的感觉,但有点爱意。
不妨听一听。。。


已经一天手脚麻痹 以仅有呼吸隐闭在家
已经三天感觉胃痛 看一只乌蝇恋上面包
已经七天打断联络 要找救伤车失去电话
我都开心因你颓废 沉沦浴缸中不要向上爬
第一千天未曾洗澡 沉迷做你信徙
顽固思忆再污糟 污迹都带爱慕
肮脏相爱记号 喊破的眼睫毛
臭到令人呕吐 无言地控诉
懒得梳的打结头发 缺少你消失打理动机
懒得清的琐碎垃圾 要跟我瑟缩於一角做知己
懒得修的指甲长到 快将要尖得抓破自己
浸於花樽死了玫瑰 无聊地呼吸你残留毒气
第一千天未曾洗澡 沉迷做你信徙
顽固思忆再污糟 污迹都带爱慕
肮脏相爱记号 喊破的眼睫毛
臭到令人呕吐 无言地控诉
毫无事情想做 毫无任何喜怒
毫无荣辱悲欢锁我到地牢
第一千天未曾洗澡 如同是个女巫
顽固思忆再污糟 污迹都带爱慕
肮脏相爱记号 引证恋爱旅途
爱到比爱恐怖 你会否知道

University Day...

I'm back after a week plus absent!
Frankly speaking, last week would be so far, the most hectic week for my second year. Deadlines, presentations and helping out at University Day.

Yes. My uni held a University Day to celebrate 25 years of founding in the education industry. Previous year they did 'Street Party'. This year, 'University Day'.

I started of my day paying least attention in class. Except when he sings, then I was more focused... OK. That was in the morning.

I was helping for my club, PSG to take care of the booth. We sold jelly and wristbands on that day. Jelly was made by the counsellor, with love. Ha, ha!



Front view of the PSG stall. 

Clubs were setting up their stalls in the evenings. Coincidently, that day, Wednesday was the 9th day of 9th month of the Lunar calendar. The Nine Emperor festival. Yeah, rained all day... 

As all the clubs were setting up, there was rehearsals for that night going on. I heard someone sang 'What Are You Waiting For'. When she stopped singing, I realised it was actually Mizz Nina!!! What on Earth?! She has been singing and I don't realised at all?!



Guess the stall name... RM 1 Corner... All food sold cost only RM 1.

Chocolate marshmallows. I didn't try it. Chocolate is not my favourite.

My friend told me the curry sold in this stall was delicious... 

Yes. Most memorable and my favourite of that night. Korean food. I don't what it called in Korean. Rice cake in sauce. Not spicy. Most important of all, made by Koreans themselves...! 





Not all stalls sell food that day. Some were games stall, like this one. They had the Angry Birds game. A friend who's in charge of this stall asked me to play. But I didn't. I knew I won't get into the holes... 

"Hey you! Wanna mess with me...?!" 

Students getting out after rain stopped... Not really. It was still drizzling... 



This is Thomas. He'll be going for the Student Council (INTIMA) President position, with 2 others. Will he get elected? Not sure? Do I want him as President? Not really... 

Some lecturers came in the evenings too. One of them was my former lecturer. Guess who's that...

Night time... 





President and the Vice of PSG, Yuga and Kelvin.

She's one of the university's councillor. Trying to sell to someone from outside... I'll be in grave if she knew I put up this picture... Ha, ha! 

Fireworks on that night. I hand-picked the best picture to post it up. Yes. Our resource fees are gone... Fireworks show was long.


Of course there's guest performances that night. Mizz Nina, Ling Kah Jun and Desiree. It's very crowded at the stage area plus I'm too tired to go and take pictures of them. I had a presentation tomorrow at 8 a.m. We closed at around 9 p.m. 


That was what happened in my uni last week.
25th year celebration... Right.

Field Trip...

After all the busy duties and works of the entire week, I finally got to enjoy my Friday with a trip to StarHub. That's where they print the newspapers for Central areas.
I learned a lot from this trip, truthfully speaking. I learned that newspapers are important, people behind it put in many effort, everyday. Being in the printing presses is not easy. Deadlines in every day, long working hours. Also, production cost is not CHEAP. You're paying RM 1.20 for a copy. In reality, the actual cost is about RM2.50. Thanks to the ads. Gave me a hit on head. There's so many people working behind the news. Their main duty is to bring informant and news to every Malaysians. They serve Malaysians everyday. I appreciate their work by buying a copy of newspaper. Showing gratitude from journalists, photographers, operators, technicians, vendors, everyone involved in producing newspapers.

I read newspapers everyday. No lies. I knew many young people won't do. You don't care about what's happening around or what? If you DO read, probably just the online version. There's just a small part of the story. You're reading online because of what? Free-Of-Charge? I don't really read online. I prefer a newspaper.

This is the location. Not far. In Shah Alam. 



The front entrance. 

This is how it looks like inside. 

Read this comic strip! They include most of the people from The Star, including Wong Chun Wai.

They gave free copies of Galaxie magazine.

My free issue of The Star, 7th October 2011. It's without StarMetro and Star2. Only the main paper. 

Those were some of my juniors, queuing up to buy food in the cafeteria. I think this will be the place I spend my desperation moments of I go to StarHub for internship... 

Those were our guides for the trip. My group were assisted by Mr. Mun, standing on the right. 


Sorry. I don't post pictures on what's inside the newspaper production because cameras were not allow in. I'll just narrate roughly.

We saw how the 'plates' were produced. They were the ones as the blueprints for every pages. Guess how many plates they use. 1 for a black and white page. 2 or 3 for a colour page. There's about hundred pages for newspaper everyday. Do the calculations... 

The layout artist sent them to Shah Alam from the office in SS 16, Petaling Jaya. 
When we're there, they were producing blueprints for Star2 Weekend. And print it out later.

Don't think that recycled papers were used to print newspaper. NO. It's actually paper. I can't recall what's the name. 1 tonne of paper cost about few hundreds US Dollars. Mr. Mun said they need hundreds of cartoons/tonnes to print newspapers for the Central region (Selangor to Negeri Sembilan).  Hear it?!


There was a technical problem while printing the Star2 Weekend. The paper jammed. The workers have to throw out rolls of newspapers out. You know how much there was. I roughly examined, about 50 copies of Star2. 50!!! Threw away.... Such a waste...
Therefore I managed to tear out a copy as a souvenir. I'm reading 8th October's news on 7th October! Woohoo!!! Sounds proud... 



That's all for the trip to StaHub. 
I learned a lot of things. 
I appreciate newspapers more than ever.
I feel much gratitude to the workers from Star Publications, from A-Z. 


Thanks for giving us information and knowledges!!!
