Going to major...

I'm back after 2 weeks since my last post on Chinese New Year!

Here was something I received during Ms. Hafizah's class yesterday, from her, of course; an enrolment form for my 3rd and final year subjects. Immediately, I was filled with surprises...

I'd never thought that I got the form so early. I'm just going through my second year, haven't even done my first year subject, haven't been to internship... That form yesterday really gave me a shocked and realisation later... I had spent almost 2 years in university and I'm leaving soon to work. Yes. Time flies.

I had mixed feelings when I got the final year enrolment form. I was happy because I can finally l get to learn and feel how will it be to be a journalist. That's what I'm hoping, wishing and waited for so long. Frankly speaking, I thought of writing as my career back during secondary school. Then there was this time that my English teacher said to me that my English was not good enough to write. There! I gave up writing as my dream. Still, once in a while I gathered ideas to write a piece of story, hoping that it will be published one day. That was also the time I decided to changed to advertising because of the creativity and challenges.

Since coming to uni, I was influenced by this so-called theories of being an 'objective viewer', 'watching over the society and government' by this person. This person (better keep it confidential, until my convocation) 're-lightened' my hopes and dreams once more to be a journalist, to write as a profession.

Another feeling I had was sad. I was sad because I'll be leaving the 'school life' soon. I don't think I'm ready for the turning point of working life... How's the working life for me be in the future? No idea. No intention of using a crystal ball to look into it also...

Anyway, that's what I had in my mind. Be ready to take up the challenges as a journalist.

Chinese New Year in Subang...

This was the blog post that I promised to write about. Having the high mood to write today...

Here's what my family and I had done over Chinese New Year...

Reunion dinner at Klang's V Garden Restaurant. We arrived early to avoid the traffic. The restaurant was packed with diners. Some came for dinner as early as 6 pm and latest by 8.30 pm. It's a new trend these few years, people prefer to have their Reunion dinners and Chinese New Year meals outside. Save the time preparing and cooking. They don't mind paying for a high price. They want the convenience.

It's early, that's why the restaurant was empty.

My first 'angpau' for 2012 Chinese New Year!!! The 'angpau' receiving enthusiasm never dies, even if you had grown up. Only dies when you have became the one that gave the 'angpau'...

Tossing the 'yee sang' with my family. Have a good dragon year!

First dish on the menu. There's abalone, mushrooms, sea cucumber, and broccoli. You don't really eat this dish every day. Save it for the festive season...

Second dish, 'Buddha Jump Over The Wall'. Ha, ha, ha...! Direct translation! It's a soup dish with luxurious ingredients in it.

Third dish, Suckling Pig. I remembered the last time I had this dish was 8 years ago at my father's business counterpart's wedding. Didn't served this dish at my cousin's wedding 2 years ago.

Next, Steamed White Pomfret. How can Chinese New Year dinners be without fish?

My uncle taking photos of us.

Teh Chi En and family. All in red tone clothes. Everyone was wearing bright colors shirts, except me that wore a black. Memorable epic. Ha, ha, ha...

Salad Prawn. I can't eat. Allergy.

Fried Glutinous Rice. There will always be fried glutinous rice as the sixth or seventh dish on the menu. This time was different. It served in small packs for each person. Something like 'lo mai kai'.

Desserts time! Cupcakes, fried 'nian gao' and 'tang yuan' in rose tea syrup. Completed our last meal on the last day of the Lunar Calender.

After dinner, my family and I moved to my uncle's house back in USJ... To collect 'angpau'.

Some family members from my father's side which includes my cousins, aunt, cousin-in-law, and uncle. Surprisingly, my cousin came back from Australia this year.

My sarcastic uncle busy with his Blackberry. A year elder than my father. Had 3 children. Sarcastic than ever. Didn't changed at all. He and Mr. S can be good friends-turned-rival. Can't imagine that... Non-stop laughing!!!

First day of Chinese New Year...

Unwrapping hampers.

Watching television.

Nice Golden Dragon at Sunway Pyramid...

No outings until the fourth day, where my aunt and mother went to visit an old friend in Kota Damansara.

Nice house.

Living room for TV. There's the glass door to the piano room, on the right.

At living room. The owner was the man in yellow shirt.

Koi fish pond. Woah...!

宅女出头天。。。

宅女，就是我。用‘宅’来形容本人，非常适合。
以宅女写成一篇故事，是什么效果？是不可思议，与众不同。

故事里面的‘宅女’非本人的故事，而是一个真人但虚构的故事。
‘宅女’没有什么大志，没做过什么伟大的事。只是一名不太会说活的大学生。‘宅女’视她的朋友为伴，视恶人为邪。故事会描述‘宅女’对付一名爱慕虚荣，玩弄感情的坏女人以及帮一个密友度过许多难关。。。

尽情期待。

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

It's the time of the year again. It's Chinese New Year!

This year I will be celebrating New Year at Subang. Not going back to hometown. The 'balik kampung' enthusiasm seems to subside as I grew older. No more of 'balik kampung' excitement feeling.
It's not really about the 'balik kampung' tradition that represents the New Year. It's being united with family members that should be the real meaning of a festive celebration. As long as your family is with you, no matter where you celebrate Chinese New Year, it will always be meaningful. It's the people that made this celebration meaningful and memorable.

The 'angpao' giving and receiving tradition. I'm not sure whether if there will be a day that I give out 'angpao' packets to young children or not. Right now, I'll collect as much 'angpao' packets as I can for every Chinese New Years until I'm married (?) There'll always be this 'guessing game' when you received an 'angpao'. You will guess what's the amount of money inside. RM 10? RM 50? RM 100? How much will it be...?

That's it for the Chinese New Year blog post.
'Gong Xi Fa Cai'!
'Xin Nian Kuai Le'!

This year is the year of dragon... This song, 'Descendent of the Dragon', represents every Chinese people around the world, no matter where you are from. Chinese, descendants of the Dragon.

给了一个疑惑。。。

某晚，在面子书上，朋友把几张照片转载。那些照片描述一对情侣的甜蜜时刻。看到这些照片，我记觉得可笑因为她们两人把彼此的男朋友tagged在照片里面。于是我忙着在评论。。。起先的目的是跟她们开玩笑。怎料其中一个朋友把话题扯到一个我认识的男性朋友身上。百思不解。她又怎么知道我认识他的？！是谁在背后胡扯？！

上个月跟Sow Lei Wei聊到这话题，关于我到底喜欢的谁。她大概知道近期哪一个（虽然她们素不相识）可是始终都不懂我以前喜欢哪一个。。。哈哈哈！慢慢‘解码’，阿玮。。。

如果被朋友发现你暗恋某某人，一定被笑到‘面黄’。千真万确。中六的时期就有一个好例子（算是马？）。偶尔会拿这个话题来作讨论的。

我就是不要捆在这一种被笑到‘面黄’的情况。
我不介意被人家当笑柄，只不过我不喜欢莫名其妙的被笑。
笑我笨，笑我三傻，笑我无知，笑我无聊，都无所谓。

Back to school...

That's the (few) time(s) of the year that I dislike the most: going back to uni. Not that I'm those who had studying, it's just the hectic life I despise the most.

I'm taking only 4 subjects this long semester. Why? I'll be taking the one of the hardest subject in my programme. That's why I need to reduce workload to focus on this subject more. Furthermore, I'd taken the position of Treasurer for PSG. Added workload.
I'm glad that I 'survived' last semester. Don't ask me why. Being grateful that I'm still a solid human being.

1st week of new semester and I had already been given assignments, on my 'every best effort' of completing it... Also I got scolded on the first day... As 'rice bucket'. Left me with much surprise, furious and confusion.

Felt lazy to update my blog since new semester had begun. But I promised before, as long as I'm not caught for Internal Security Act or Multimedia and Communication Act 1998.

Till then...

p/s: Chinese New Year is coming! Gong Xi Fa Cai!!! I'll be celebrating at Subang this year. The 'balik kampung' rush was no longer for me... Prefer Chinese New Year at the city. By the way, I'm going to watch 'The Viral Factor'! Yeah!

Star Wars saga...

Yeah. I promised to write this Star Wars post before this.
This would be the third movie series I'd written on, besides Harry Potter and James Bond movies.

Star Wars. I love it.
Started watching when I was still in primary school with Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. Heard that The Phantom Menace will be showing in 3D soon! Rejoice, Star Wars fans!
This was the part where we learned about our hero (hero back that time in the movie, then became villain). Yes. You should know who is he. Anakin Skywalker. A big name to digest...
What I remembered from that movie was the racing competition Anakin took part in and Obi-Wan Kenobi. I have no idea why I remembered Obi-Wan so much from the first movie. And also the Master, Qiu Gon Jinn.

I'm over my head for Hayden Christensen in this movie... Anakin Skywalker became a Jedi in this movie. And the love story between them. Well, many people complained it was annoying... Yes. This movie was on some clone wars. This was the part where Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) cuts off Anakin's arm. Then he got an artificial arm... This is where he is starting to get scary...

Betrayal, lies and wars were all in the final movie of the Star Wars saga. So we knew that the Chancellor is Darth Sidious. He bought Anakin to the Dark Side. Hence he took on the identity of Darth Vader. And the favourite scene in the movie, Obi-Wan left Anakin dead in the volcanic larva. He didn't die... (Why?!) He turned into some lunatic in black suit. Darth Vader...!

Luke Skywalker! Yeah! The new hope. I watched Episodes IV to VI on TV. I haven't even born yet when 'Return of The Jedi' came out. There was also the 'love triangle' between Luke, Princess Leia and Hans Solo. Well, Leia found out that Luke was her twin brother later... Well she was with Hans later. Finally Darth Vader took down his mask and revealed himself as Anakin Skywalker and died in Luke's arms.

The end. But the Force still lives on...

Back to school days...

Few weeks ago while at a shopping mall, I stumbled upon this back-to-school sale. Reminds me of many things while I was attending school, including wearing school uniform.

School shoes. Honestly, for the 13 years of my life in school, I have no idea how many canvas shoes I had...

School uniforms. Sorry I can't find the rack that contained secondary school ones.

Now the days were over. No more school rules. No more sitting in a stuffed classroom. No more writing in hand (well, it's not really true...). No more school uniform. We had grown up! We're on our own now.

We learned lessons, from the school subjects and also the 'dramas' that took placed. We gain knowledges, academically and socially.

Every year when I saw those back-to-school sales, I stopped and looked at the items for few moments. No, I'm not buying it. It's just, looking at them reminds me what I had learned for the past 13 years in school.

James Bond...

This will be my longest blog to date.
I'm going to blog about James Bond movies, all of the 22 Bond movies, from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig.

When I was young, the James Bond movies I had seen would be those with Pierce Brosnan. That's because he was James Bond in the 1990s and that I grew up at the time. I started watching my first James Bond movie when I was around 7 or 8 years old and that Bond movie was 'Tomorrow Never Dies', with Datuk Michelle Yeoh in it. So proud to have a Malaysian in the movie!
My mother told me about James Bond movies has been around for many years. More almost 50 years since Sean Connery's first appearance as 007.

Recently, local and cable televisions has been showing James Bond movies again. This reruns got me to write about James Bond.

1. Dr. No

All I remembered from this movie was Ursula Andress in bikini coming from the beach. That scene has became classic and later many movies followed, including Halle Berry in 'Die Another Day'. I can't recall what's 'Dr. No' story is really about. And also, James Bond don't really have much fancy gadgets beside a gun in that movie.

2. From Russia With Love

This is the first movie where Desmond Llwelyn's Q came to the picture. The story continues from 'Dr. No'. SPECTRE wants revenge from James Bond for killing Dr. No.

3. Goldfinger

Goldfinger, some kinda lunatic guy that was smuggling gold. Was this the movie that the villian painted the girls in gold after killing them? He is lunatic.

4. Thunderball

The SPECTRE organisation story doesn't end at 'Goldfinger'. The story continues here. This movie, the world-domination-crazed organisation stole 2 NATO's bomb, planning to do destroy some countries. Same old story; it's up to 007 James Bond to save the day...!

5. You Only Live Twice

Bond is in the country of the rising sun. A spacecraft was stolen and James Bond was assigned to investigate it. And also this movie revealed Ernst Blofield as the chief of SPECTRE.

6. On Her Majesty's Secret Service

James Bond marries, just for a short while in this movie. He was sent to a research centre in Swiss, where he encountered a group of brainwashed angels. They were used by Blofield as part of his SPECTRE operation plan. Speaking of James Bond getting married, his wife was Countess Teresa or Tracy. Sadly she was shot dead by Blofield's men in the end. George Lazenby first and final appearance as James Bond.

7. Diamonds Are Forever

Sean Connery is back as James Bond. In this movie, James Bond finds Blofield in a secret facility where he created many Blofield look-alike. He killed one of the 'Blofields', but bad guys don't really die don't they? Why diamonds as the title in this movie? Blofield intended to destroy weapons in United States, Soviet Union and China using the diamonds. Diamonds were built on the satellite. Using the power of sunlight, it can shot the laser to Earth.

8. Live And Let Die

'Live and Let Die' was Roger Moore's first appearance as James Bond. This Bond movie plot centres on drug trafficking and subsequently, few of the following Bond movies uses this theme.

9. The Man With The Golden Gun

I remembered this movie somewhere because of 1 particular scene. James Bond was having this duel with Christopher Lee's Scaramanga. 2 person faced each other behind their backs, took few steps forward and then fire their guns at each other. The faster who fires one killed the slower one. Christopher Lee's Scaramanga imitate MI6 agents and uses a golden gun to kill.

10. The Spy Who Loved Me

Soviet and British spies falling for each other. Giagantic man with metal teeth with the name of Jaws. Spells nothing for James Bond. Soviet and English submarines were missing. Both countries send their agents to investigate. From being rivals to lovers in the end.

11. Moonraker

Hijacked spaceship from the United Kingdom, leading James Bond to investigate the manufacturer of the spaceship, Drax Industries. He then uncovers Hugo Drax's plan to destroy human life on Earth and at the same time, sending a group of men and women, genetically perfect to space, breeds there and then return to Earth again. James Bond's adventure brought him to outer space to destroy Drax's spaceship. Not forgetting, Jaws is returning...

12. For Your Eyes Only

James Bond and daughter of the marine biologist Sir Timothy Havelock, Melina investigate the former's death, leading them to a drug trafficker, Columbus. It was later revealed that Columbus was hired by the Soviet to get the ATAC, the system used by the British Royal Navy.

13. Octopussy

A plot to bomb the US Air Force base in West Germany by a Soviet General (again the Soviets...) and an exile Afghan prince, Kamal Khan to trigger the tension between United States and Soviets. Bond was sent to investigate fellow agent 009's death and uncovers the motive of the two villains. He also met Octopussy, a rich business woman and a jewellery smuggler, working to smuggle diamonds for Prince Kamal Khan.

14. A View To A Kill

Christopher Walken as Max Zorin, the genius yet psychotic planning to control the microchip market. His plan was to flood the whole Silicon Valley, the place where microchip were produced back in the 1980s. Roger Moore's last appearance as 007.

15. The Living Daylights

A Soviet General, Georgi Koskov uses James Bond and the British government to frame General Pushkin. The plot was uncovered by James Bond from the traces that the sniper who Koskov arranged to 'kill' him using empty bullets. Koskov was misusing Soviet government's fund to purchase firearms from arms dealer Whitaker to supply them back to the Soviet. Timothy Dalton replaced Roger Moore as 007.

16. Licence To Kill

Felix Leiter's wedding joy became despair when he was injured and his wife was killed by the Colombian drug lord, Sanchez. James Bond took revenge for his friend, tracks Sanchez to Isthmus City.

17. GoldenEye

This movie began with James Bond and another MI6 agent, Alec on a mission to Soviet base. Their arrival inside the base has been exposed. The Soviet general took Alec as hostage, threatening James Bond to surrender himself. James Bond bombed the area later, thinking that Alec has died under the general. Flash forward to the 90s, Bond was assigned by M (Judi Dench) to investigate the bombing of space centre in Severnaya, Russia by a crime organisation Janus. The survival and the eyewitness of the bombing was Natalya Simmova, a computer programmer. She saw the Russian general and Xenia Onatopp killing all the staffs at the space centre. Her colleague Boris, a Janus member betrayed and turned her to the Russian general, who was also a Janus member. James Bond crosses paths with Natalya when both of them was taken to meet the mastermind of Janus, none other than Alec. Alec, also a Cossack descendent, fakes his death in order to seek revenge for his parents' death by the British.

18. Tomorrow Never Dies

Media mogul Elliot Carver provokes the war between British and Chinese navies. He 'create' the news. Hours after British ship was sunk, the news was reported. M sends James Bond to investigate. At the same time Chinese agent, Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh) was also investigating on Carver. Both of them teamed up to destroy Carver's plan to fire a missile to Beijing and create World War 3.

19. The World Is Not Enough

The murder of oil billionaire by Russian terrorist gets James Bond to work on the case and protect the billionaire's daughter, Elektra from falling victim. The murder of the oil billionaire was actually Elektra seeking revenge against her father and her intention to took control over the world's oil's prices.

20. Die Another Day

'Die Another Day' began with James Bond impersonating a diamond dealer to sell diamonds to North Korean Colonel Moon. Bond disguise was uncover by Colonel Moon's assistant, Zao. James Bond chases Colonel Moon until he falls to a waterfall. Colonel Moon's father, General Moon devastated by his son's death, captures James Bond for 14 months until he was released as an exchange for Zao, who killed 3 Chinese agents in Beijing. James Bond was called back to mission shortly later. He went to Cuba to investigate a gene therapy clinic where a person can change their appearance by restructuring their DNA. He found Zao at the clinic, aimed to kill him but he escaped. Zao left diamonds that were identified as conflict diamonds from Africa. The diamonds lead Bond to billionaire Gustav Graves, which was actually Colonel Moon. Pierce Brosnan as James Bond for the last time.

21. Casino Royale

When Daniel Craig was cast as 007, I was one of those who suspects his acting ability. "Who is he?!", "How can he be James Bond?!". Later, I went to watched it. Turned out to be one of the best Bond movies I had seen, even it was a bit confusing too. James Bond began his job as 007, license to kill. He met Vesper Lynd, a Treasury agent. He resigned to M shortly and went to Venice with her. Vesper was killed trying to save James Bond. He learned that she was working for an organisation that kidnapped her boyfriend.

22. Quantum of Solace

James Bond seeks revenge for Vesper in 'Quantum of Solace'. After learning that this "how can this organisation be everywhere and we don't know nothing about them" (M), Bond was assigned to find out about them. The movie ends with Bond and Camille Montes leaving Dominic Greene, member of the secret organisation, Quantum at the dessert with a can of motor oil.

I'm sure any of you must at least watched 2 James Bond movies in your life... Or at least heard of them... (?)

I think all 22 Bond movies are good and there are few personal favourites of mine which were 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service', 'For Your Eyes Only', 'A View To A Kill', 'The Living Daylights', 'Tomorrow Never Dies' and 'Quantum Of Solace'. Which actor was the best James Bond...? All of them were great and I don't think any of them failed us with their performance. My thought of them were; Sean Connery was cool and calm, Roger Moore was charming and smart, George Lazenby was romantic, Timothy Dalton was dangerous, Pierce Brosnan was mesmerising, Daniel Craig was cold and sentimental.

Can't wait for Daniel Craig to return in the 23rd Bond movie, 'Skyfall'. Coming out next year!

p/s: In the meanwhile, I will go look for Ian Fleming's James Bond novels. Last week book hunting does not bring any results.
pp/s: Next time I think I'll write about Star Wars... Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker. "May the force be with you...". Can't stop laughing!

Holidays, holidays...

Holidays for me now...!
After my long and hectic semester, it feels so good coming back to holidays. This is the time where I can sleep and sleep, eat and eat, being lazier than ever. Currently, I'm watching (again) those James Bond movies on TV.

Here's the blog update on what happened during my few weeks before finals (others than assignments, studying and finals).

On the beginning of December, I joined my PSG club for the committee members bonding session. We went to Sepang beach for seafood dinner and later the activities near Sepang Gold Coast beach area. Later, we stayed at CCC overnight.
Ok, on that day we went, it was raining the whole day. Yes, whole day.

Chui and Rashwin carrying the mattress to CCC. Used and old mattresses.

Chairperson of PSG, Yuga.

Raining, raining non-stop...

Ordering our food.

Seriously, I skipped lunch on that day and I was hungry like mad. Raining all day and I didn't had a single thing since breakfast...

Fresh (really?) fish... *Fish said, "Come and eat us..."

Took this picture of the staff cooking to food. Out of curiosity.

Minutes before the food was served...

Food had been served!!!

Group picture. Thanks to Mr. Dennis for it. Unfortunately, he wasn't inside...

The question and answer session started with Sahbi. The committee members were given questions to be answered. Can't recall all of them. I only remembered few, such as 'What was the first thing you do in the morning?', 'What is your favourite movieline?' and '3 adjectives to describe the best kiss'.

Next, Yuga.

Followed by Lai Yee.

The session was moved to the beach later.

This picture is real funny. This came as a result of a joke. Because of a question, my councillor became the 'joke'. Committees and councillors were laughing towards it. I wasn't paying much attention at that time. The joke suddenly burst out. I have no idea who even started it...

This was an interesting game. Swing the flip flops ON the table.

On the other week I went to movie at TGV Seremban 2 with some people that I knew, partly knew, and don't know at all. Well, it's kinda a gathering before finals to relax.

The guy in the middle was Desmond, Students' Affairs Office's officer.

That's it for the post.

More updates coming up...

Girls and Gossips 3...

I'm taking a short time off to update this blog. Just a short one...

OK. Back to the topic... This is a continuous, never-ending, century age long topic that human, especially females encounter everyday, 'Gossips'. You heard it anywhere, any time, anyhow...

As mentioned, gossips will occur in everywhere, every time once people are around. There's people, there's gossip. Can't you see?! They co-exist with each other!

I don't want to focus this topic much on girls, like the other two 'Girls and Gossips' posts.
No matter you're a guy or a girl, gossip is something you can't avoid. You may ignore them, but you still hear them once a while and sometimes very often.

The channels of gossiping does not only through face to face or phone only. It has expanded to social networks such as Twitter and Facebook and Messengers such as WhatsApp, BlackBerry Messenger and Nimbuzz, which I'm using now. With the advance in modern technology for communication, people all around use these channels to bond together with one another. I am an avid user of these technologies. Yes. It help me to keep updated with former school friends that I haven't seen since school.
My friends and I talked on many topics from the daily university life to Kardashians' dramas and current issues. We don't have to meet up in a cafe to talk, we meet on the cyber world. We don't meet face-to-face to gossips, we gossip through cyber world.

Gossiping is our topic. You won't see few people gather together and talk about the weather and traffic conditions, right? That's the topics you talk to a stranger.

These gadgets 'expand' you gossip channels... True.
These gadgets keep you 'close' to your long-time friends... True.
These gadgets are apart of your life... True.

p/s: Human can't avoid gossips, anyhow.

Video Project...

I'm back! Completed my MPW Moral project. A funny video. Yes. I mentioned it in my 2 previous blog post.
Anyway, the video size is very huge. I'm not going to upload it. No Internet service provider can support, say 10Mbp/s upload speed, not even UniFi.

I just screen shot the video. Read the subtitles and you'll get what's the story was telling...

1.

The wife's pregnant. The husband 'itching' to 'make out'.

This what he said... His wife rejected him, of course. Later, he left the room furiously.

This is when the drama starts... He looked for a prostitute from, me. That's right...

This is the 'prostitute', Amy. She's so sexy...!

This is when he went to the doctor to make a blood test... Continue reading, please...

Yes. AIDS.

The depressed husband after he found out he was HIV positive.

He decided to tell his family and friends about going to a prostitute and infected with HIV.

10.

His family and friends start to question him...

11.

Finally confesses...

12.

They start scolding him for that...

13.

Finally speaks...!

14.

Shocked...!

15.

His wife overheard the conversation between him and friend and family members...

16.

Trying hard to apologise... His wife then slaps him and walked away.

17.

Chases him out...

18.

Towards the end, his sister and friend told him to come home...

19.

He refuses to do so...

20.

*The end*

The moral of this story: don't go for prostitution...

Salutation to those that were involved. Thanks!!!

“爱的故事（上集）”。。。

可说，我从中学时期听了这首歌好几百篇，原唱和李逸朗-蒋雅文的翻唱版本。偏偏，我不知道谁是原唱者！直到几天前，在YouTube听歌时，看到‘相关影片’那一边，才知道。。。！

"It's Puss... In-Boots"

I know it the same lame title. But it's also the classic one.

I'm writing this post for Nuffnang for the 'Puss-In-Boots' contest.

Puss, is one of my favourite character on silver screen. Why? Cute and being a bandit. That's what I can say.

Puss, he's like the cat version of Zorro (of course, it's obvious!) cross-over Don-Juan Demarco. Estilo Espanol!!!

Other than spitting fur balls (like in Shrek 2) Puss is a true fighter! He fight the bad guys with his own estilo Espanol (Spanish style). Charming, that what I call for Spanish warriors... Also, the trademark boots!!! It seems like he wear them like a king.

Next up, what would I do if I'm Puss and Kitty Softpaws?
I could call for a battle. 1 versus 10, like Ip Man!!! Tickles! It's a simple job for Puss. Kitty and I, Puss will gather all those who were suppressed by the bad guys and stand up to fight against them! The power of unity.

All Roll In One!

Sorry for being 'missing-in-action' for more than a week. Sincerely apologise.
I think I will be 'missing' for quite some time later since I have 5 assignments due by end of this month. Only completed 1 last night. Be back once my holiday start!

I spared my whole day yesterday to shot my final project video for MPW Moral. Serious hectic. Non-stop. Although I was just in couple of scenes, but as the member of the group I have to be at the shooting from day to night.

OK, tell briefly on what the video's all about. Husband went to look for a prostitute because his wife was pregnant and later contracted HIV. Family and friends were angry and frustrated with him. In the end, they forgave him. Simple as that. But when you want to shoot it, not simple at all.

This is the 'Husband' in one of the scene, depressed after his friends and family kick him out...

The lead actor in the story played by Jeffrey.
His wife, Hwei Yee.
Celist as the prostitute, Amy while I'm the 'mother'.
Soo Peng, Sharon and Charlie also guest star, Jasper as the family and friend.
Last and not least, Hanessa as the commoner.

“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.

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...

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：

“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。。。
“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。
“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。
“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。
“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!!!

Impostors...

Here I want to express what I think about impostor.
They're just being plain wannabes. They're 'nobody' wanted to be 'somebody'.

I think you better off as a nobody! No point you try to be someone you're not. You're using that person's name to make you famous. You're just 'borrowing'. Your fame won't last, maximum 3 minutes you have.

Do something so you'll get known, recognise. Don't be a COPYCAT!
Don't hacked into someone's account and do silly things!
Don't be stupid. Be wise.

If some idiot trying to be me, posting on my accounts, you'll never be me. You won't be able to list out my favourite phrases or impersonate my style of writing... I don't do short form except for few words. Even it's informal, I'll do it formally. No SMS languages!

Calculations...

I believe in this modern day, most (I hope all) of you would have mastered the 3Rs by now. If you're not, you really need help...

I'm not such a good Maths expel. That's the reason why I chose to be in the social sciences field. I'm not good in Science and Technology either, but I'm not a dummy also. I tried to keep myself updated on the trend (trying really hard).

Although I don't deal with fractions, decimals, integers, standard deviations and some other Mathematical terms, I still do basic calculations such as counting how much I'd spent and days.

I restrict myself not to spent much of unnecessary things, except I really need it. I don't really have much belongings, frankly said. I'm not financially incapable or something. I just don't want to waste, that's it.
My average spending would be about RM 11 a day. Not bad, isn't it?

I count days. Counting how long does it have to a holidays. I never counted days during school time. Just live to everyday like what it is. However, after coming to university, I started to count. "Two more days to public holidays", "7 more days to semester breaks" etc. I think I'll continue with this habit when I come out to work. Counting how many days to holidays.

What I'm doing now may not be something noble. I'm using basic skills to help me go through my life. Simple as that.

中秋两团圆。。。

原本欲写英文文章。最终选择了写中文。那是因为比较适合这个节日，“中秋节”。

人月两团圆。华人注重的是团圆，齐齐整整，一个不能少。所以简单来讲，华人很注重家庭。
我离开家（不算是很远），经常一个人胡思乱想的时候，必定想到‘家’。‘家’，这个字对我来说，有很重的含义。它能说是我的一切。不管人在何处，一定要回家。。。

中秋节快到啦。。。电台自然多播有关中秋或者团圆主题的歌。
其中之一是“但愿人长久”

虽然听了一小部分，但还是非常感触。
也许是我太挂念‘家’吧。。。自然而然很感触。

中秋节不算是什么大节日。可是它会是一个提醒，提醒着你和家。
无论是中秋，端午，冬至还是新年，记得要回家，看看家人。树叶飘了又飘，最终要归根。

年轻人，记得回家。。。！

Holidays (I Want More!)...

My new semester officially starts. I must attend every lectures from tomorrow onwards. No more holidays.
Which means I have to wait till December holidays, a week before my birthday.

Who doesn't love holidays?! If you don't, you're not normal...
It's just when you have too much or too long, holidays, you tend to be lazy.

As I calculated, I'm on holiday for 1 month and 7 days. That's the period you have of you're still in school. In universities, your holidays will be less than a month. Seriously.

I want more holidays. 2 months more! That's greedy. When you have to much of laziness, fun, time-wasting, hanging out days, you would not want to go back to your school/university/offices. That's a fact. Who wouldn't want to laze around, sleep, hang out at eatery places and most importantly (for a girl) go for clothes hunting? When you're occupied with your daily routines or duties, you won't be able to find time for it or simply no mood.

I actually managed to finished a book during holidays. Been a while since I read. I'll do the same for the next holidays. A good story.

I have 4 months until my December holidays. Also, 8 weeks more to another Mid-Semester Break.
Shouldn't be counting... This will make me gone nuts...

p/s: Sow Lei Wei, when you're coming back in December? Want to go watch movies? 'Adventures of Tintin'. 'Breaking Dawn'. 'Mission Impossible'. And more... See you then!

I'm back online! It's time to update my blog since I left it for 2 weeks...

Blues. It's what I want to talk about.
People around always complain about Monday blues, hangover from the weekend etc. Honestly I don't experienced Monday blues that much in my life. I actually have more of what I call (maybe quite a number of you out there also experienced) 'Mid-Week Blues'.

Yes. You have 'Mid-Week Blues' on Wednesdays. Why? Because you are stuck right in the middle. Mondays and Tuesdays are over, you're almost getting to weekend but not there yet and you're longing for the weekends. 'Mid-Week Blues' would be those that got you hating, desperate and feeling to dump all you work down for the weekends.

Mondays, I believe it's just a start. Nothing really. The real test is on Wednesdays. Testing your patient and limits. Believe me, it's the point where you can go crazy because you seems to be 'in the middle', 'so near, yet so far' mood.

坏人又到。。。

这次，坏人又回来胡扯。
这星期原为我开学的星期。应该在学校上课。我竟然逃课！队。坏人本性如此。
为什么我有这个念头要逃课？第一，第一个星期根本都么有上课点名。第二，老师好没有回来（其中一个教授放一个星期假）。第三，我朋友都回家了，还留在此地干嘛？

也算好啦。。。反正我还没有把故事书读完，告白篇也还没有完成。充分利用两个星期的假期来昨晚所有该做的事。

另外一方面，我很确定的说，我会错过Ms. Freeman两堂课。。。遗憾。

What You 'Can't' and 'Don't' Eat...

(to those who don't eat these and that, here is what my advice to you)

This is something from my own observations. You can agree or disagree.
I noticed that there's a big difference of "what you CAN'T eat" and "what you DON'T eat". The explanation is you CAN'T eat because you have a valid reason to do so, for such, you can't eat peanuts because they gave you allergies. Fine. That's a solid reason. You'll have trouble after eating eat. Acceptable.
I CAN'T eat seafood, peanuts and also eggs because I'm allergy to them. I'm telling out because I don't want to be known as the picky person or the wasteful one.

Next, you DON'T eat food that you don't like or you think it's harmful to you. What is the reason behind it?! Don't be picky over food, please! The food had been cooked, so take it or leave it. There's this thing my elders used to said, "if you eat, you'll survive. If you don't, you'll die". Believe it or not, I really fell into the scare tactics used. I wanted to live, not die. Sometimes, no matter how bad the food taste, I'll eat it down. For reasons known to me that I want to survive and not wasting food.
Come on, think about it, a UN report stated that the world is having shortage of food. If you don't eat this and that and thinks this and that is bad for you, you'd chose the path to starvation and death. So, whatever has been served on the table, take it, don't act as if you're a food expert not eating food you think is bad or harmful.

Last words, in some situations where you're really hungry and desperate, you'll even swallow trash. That's for the extreme situation. Therefore, take what has been given to you. Bad, harmful or poisonous, decide later. Most important fill your stomach.

So kids and big kids, got the message...?

Of Food and the Support...

I'm back after a week absent from my blog. I'm still in holiday, until next week.

There's this topic I wanted to shared.
It's actually been a while since I watched a live sport match in a bistro. I always like to be in such atmosphere. Why? You gather with people around you to support a particular athlete or team. Not forgetting the food and drinks served. Feels very different watching live telecast outside than at home. You can scream all your heart out without others thinking you're out of mind or making too much noise. That's what is all about. The liveliness of the game, the people and the yelling.

That was what I went to last weekend. In a Bavarian bistro in Mid Valley. To be truth, I love the food there. Bacon, German sausages, fried pork fillets and my favorite, Emperor's Cake. This was my first time in a German bar. Most bars or bistro I went were those Western-styled.
What I'd seen over the last week was the Lee Chong Wei's match in the World Championships. Everyone in the bar was cheering and cheering for the only Malaysian to get into the finals. Well, he did every Malaysians that sat in front of the TV screen proud by beating his Chinese opponent, Chen Jin. However, Malaysians seem not to break the jinx of winning the World title. Never mind. It's next year that everyone is looking forward to; London 2012, the BIG ONE.

No matter what and where you are, one thing for sure, supporting Malaysians in international arena is one of the things we, as Malaysians will do. I think the more crowd support, the merrier, the higher anxiety it will be.

p/s: I'm trying my best to complete the story... The mixed feelings of love and hatred of the main character.

生与死，乐与悲，爱与恨。。。

只有我这一位坏人，才会想到写着这样的东西。

我们活在世界上，享尽所有甜，酸，苦，辣，咸。每一个人的生命中总会遇到5种味道。挫折只是给你学习及磨练。哭，不显软弱，只教会一个人眼泪如此珍贵。不完美让人包容及容纳其他人的缺点。必须谨记一点：从未有一样东西或实物会顺着个人的意愿来完成。每一个人走的路经过许多曲折。
死。总一天回轮到自己。我们不知道何时。可能是今天，明天，后天甚至几年后。不要给我什么长身不老的理论。那是荒唐。别当它为世界末日这样的看待。死只不过结束了人在世上的阶段而已。

开心的时光我们会铭记。伤心的时刻有人会选择忘记，有人则把它牢记。旧而造成仇恨。何苦？最终得到的是什么？只是苦了自己。我也恨过人。我发现恨人真的很浪费。没必要为一些人来搞塌自己。开心的时光，偶尔能忆记，想起当时的欢喜时刻。我有时想起中学和中六的搞笑时光。每一次回开怀大笑。
大家都经历悲伤。谁没有？悲伤在每个人的人生中是在所难免。喜与悲，两者似乎互相并存。只在于是哪一个先到而已。

爱。好像世界上发生在你身上最好的事。有句话，‘有情喝水就饱’。我不确定。谁尝试过恋爱时候没有吃东西，只喝水？请分享心情。爱是不是万能？有爱什么都能解决？
但是。。。爱的另外一面就是恨。因为爱得太深，付出太多，但得到的是空。难怪有些情侣分手了都不想，不愿再见到彼此。你爱一个人，朝日你可能会恨那一个人。

（以上是本人的无端言论，并非事实）

Favourite TV Actors (Chinese)...

I'm back! Exams were finished and I'm free now. Means that I'll have plenty of time to do my own things, continuing with my story. Hope I can finish it before my holiday ends.

I'm going to blog about TV actors that I like. There were quite a number actually, but then I picked some of my personal's best. Love watching them every time they're TV.

Let's start off with the current popular Ruco Chan Chin Pang. He has been in the showbiz for more than a decade, playing villain characters (that I find him to be charming) at most time. In 'The Other Truth' he played a barrister who fights for justice. This role got him recognition because of his character, Keith who was fearless determine to seek justice to those who was in need. I started watching his dramas since his days on ATV. I don't remember what's the exact name for that series, I started watching Chin Pang since that series. I think he's a good actor because he can take on his roles well, no matter the good guy, the bad or the retarded.

Playing the retarded person.

Next would be Roger Kwok. I believe most TV fans have seen him play Ah Wong. Memorable. I laughed every time I watch Ah Wong on television. Ah Wong's actions were funny and silly. His character gave viewers a deep impression. Some of us may still call him 'Ah Wong', referring him to the retarded character. He can also handle the good and the bad roles as well.

As 'Ah Wong' that has an IQ of a 7 year old kid.

Apart from them, there's Julian Cheung, commonly known as Chilam. To me, he will always be the youthful looking actor. I remembered first saw him on 'Return of the Cuckoo' as Man-Chor, the pity and mute person. Honestly, I cried when I watched the series. It's so touching...

Steven Ma. He's always, forever the good guy. I never seen him as villain. How will it be if he played the bad guy? His memorable series, the one he played the horse trainer. Again, I don't remember the name.

Kenneth Ma. Funny guy with funny voice. Speaks like a kid sometimes. He can be good and bad also comical. First saw him as Michelle Ye's husband on 'The Driving Power'. Silly. I love him playing the roles that set in the 60's because it really suit him and his comical voice.

YouTube Disasters...

OK, if you watched a video on YouTube you'll give your ratings whether you like it or not and also you leave a comment expressing your thoughts on it. That's a common thing.
You watched a video and you'll see how many 'likes' and 'dislikes' it have. Normal situation: 'likes' are more than 'dislikes'. However, it's not that normal when you see 'dislikes' are more than 'likes'.

Rebecca Black, infamous singer for her song 'Friday'. I admit, that song was a total rubbish!!! I'd never heard such ridiculous thing in my life. Bad lyrics. I mean, who on Earth could produce such song?! In the end, 'Friday' was removed from YouTube, permanently.
You'll think after the disastrous song, Rebecca Black would be gone for good? Wrong. She's back! This time with a new single, 'My Moment'.
Honestly, it's not bad at all. Seems logic. The song was meant to be a Top 40 hit after all. But... why still so many 'dislikes' for it?

On the other side, there's another video that I think is terrible. Jeremy Liu's the one who sang it!!! What? To some extent, I don't believe a talented singer-songwriter would came up with this song! What's happening to talents? Dried up? Basically, he's trying to be funny, but it turned up bad, real bad. Jeremy Liu, stick to your own style of music. No many artists can pull a funny tune, except you're a born comedian like Wong Chi-Wah.

Watch and judge on your own.

Sepang Gold Coast Resort...

This was where I went over the weekend. The place was no bad, really. However I'm not in favor for beaches and sun as I'd been living in a tropical country and experience 365 days of summer. If you're from the cold countries, this is the place where you should go for warmth and sunlight.

The main entrance and reception.

The view of reception area from behind.

The clubhouse and dining area.

View from the top. Look at the swimming pool... Borderless view.

My cousin and his camera, up to something...

My bedroom. The bed was really comfortable. Like those in the movies.

Living room.

The beach.

Dinner on the beach...

This is my favorite picture. I took this pair of father-daughter enjoying themselves during dusk.

Our 2nd dinner of the night: Steamboat.

Other than eating, what we did was walking around and taking pictures. Come on, it's holiday, right? Should get some time to relax.

Almost end...

This week is my last week of classes and deadlines before a week off for study break and later final exams. As predicted, I have to meet deadlines for my assignment and group project. Honestly, I thought I would never be able to finish things off. But then again, it's up to the person, whether he or she put on afford to get things done. I try my best. Well, 8 weeks, 2 subjects. In fact, I'm less busy for this short semester as I reduced my workloads. I won't, never again take 3 subjects for short semester. Especially, the core subjects.

Before this semester ends, I attended PSG club gathering. Frankly, I thought there won't be anything going on for this short and hectic 8 week semester. Still, they manage to come up a gathering for members to have fun in a short notice. I enjoyed myself, for sure.

University's counselor, Ms. Mee Hwa.

Playing the 1st impression game. It's where you stick a piece of paper on your back and people will write their impressions on you.

Discussing what we got from others.

Pity Kevin because he kept losing for the game. As punishment, he was forced to eat the 'wasabi' peas.

That's about all for this last week...

Can't wait for the holidays in 2 weeks time. Not forgetting the upcoming Ramadan Bazaar, which I like to go for food hunting!

All Ends After 10 Years...

OK. Harry Potter series is coming to an end, after 10 years since 'Sorcerer's Stone' first debuted.
I'd seen all the series. In cinemas, in television for numerous times. My mother even nagged me because I watched them each time they were shown on TV. Love them no matter how many times you watch it. It just didn't get bored, right?

Harry Potter's been with most of the young adults (including me) for the childhood and teenage years of their lives. Who would not catch Harry Potter movies once it shown in the cinemas? Who would not read the books? Who would not queue to get the latest Harry Potter books once it arrived in the bookstores? Who would not be holding a copy of Harry Potter books in class and even in your room? Who would spent their sleepless night trying to finish the book? Who has the DVD collection of all Harry Potter movies? (Sure it's not me)

After 'Deathly Hallows Part 2', the series are ending. No more Harry Potter in the future.
I'm happy because it will be screening soon in cinemas. I'm sad because the series have finally ended.

Goodbye to the childhood memories of reading the books and forgetting to finish up home works...
Goodbye to the memories of queuing up just to get the latest copy of Harry Potter...
Goodbye to the memories of watching Harry Potter movies in cinemas...
Goodbye to the cast of Harry Potter for being with us for 10 fantastic years...

Thanks for everything...!

The final movie 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2' is coming out on 14th July 2011 in Malaysia. Go and watch it! Harry vs. Voldermort!

Memories, along the road...

This post will be about memories (again). Memories, they're like a car traveling on a road. You passed through the road (parts of your life) on a car (your journey)

As I'm having mid-semester break, I have some time to relax and do my work for the whole week.

After dinner at Sunway Mentari, my father drove the car to scrolled around Sunway area. Something hit me on my mind. I realized there has been a while since I took this road. I have no idea why I am feeling sentimental. Maybe it's because I'd been talking about my past in few days before it.
We were talking about those days when I was in primary and secondary schools. Goodness! That was how I am during that time. Things seem to be so simple back then, as if ABC and 1+1=2. Yes, I do remembered most of the things happened back then, especially those that gave me an impact on the rest of life.

There's no other way than talking about the past in a car, traveling on the road. As you spoke, the random stuffs even popped up your mind.

p/s: I'd written some parts, funny and scary in the story... Really dumb of me in the situation.

It's Sooner or Later...

Last night, I shared my crush experiences on Weibo.
Could not believe when someone commented on my post.
One of them was Sow Lei Wei. She seems curious to know who is that person was. In fact she guessed it partly correct. He was one of our friends.
Sooner or later she can guessed who is he. In the meantime, I'll keep writing on the story and laughing out on every details I can remember. It's going to be funny!!!

On the story update: I had stopped at the point where 'I' met 'him' at a corner. Chaos will arise in the next few encounters...

A Story Based On My Experience...

As I'm writing this piece of blog, I'm laughing at the same time. Laughing at the fact that my funny secondary school experience.
I'd never once told, or admit about this to anyone. This was my story, real life, that happened during Form 1 time, where I first entered secondary school and everything seems new. (That period)

Better preview the story. It's about someone I used to like (any other better word?) but pretended I hated him. Yes, some kind of love-hate story, from a young girl's view. So, I'll be writing it as the 13 year old of me. Funny and silly.

I had written stories before, short and long. However, this seems to be my first time writing about my past. So, kind of happy and nervous.

p/s: Who want to know what happened that period?

怀念：无所事事。。。（Remembering Those Days of Life in a Slow Pace）

曾经一段日子我过得非常，超级无聊。。。很想离开这一种生活。。。
如愿以偿了。升大学的时间确实给了我这个机会。

但是，现在，这时刻，我又想回到那段日子里。。。无所事事。看足球，看戏，吃饭还有教补习。就在那段日子我真地，真正享受悠闲生活。。。！

上一片文章提及到生活节奏。我对于慢或快都能接受。但。。。我不能长期活在快节奏或慢节奏的情况下。有一句粤语说，“吊颈都要透气”。真符合我的状况。。。不能慢也不能快。。。

当你有空时，你真的很有空。。。可能到达一个无聊的程度，把你逼疯。

当你很忙时，你真的忙到喘不过气。。。也会把你逼疯。

活着，为了。。。？

揉着睡眼的山丘伴晨光崭露
丛林下有野鹭轻踏泥沼赤足起舞
和谐平静清早景象 
谁人曾又坐下来一睹
围着雾的冰水任瓶边结露
凝聚渐厚过后交汇成川渗於台布
神奇而极普通的景象 
谁人曾又会静来一睹
人们忙为了干活如踏高速公路
前行无办法暂停一步
长埋头在干最后忘掉了好好的活
寻觅快乐 但得到 全是杂物或皂泡

*步伐极度急速心窝烫似赤道
视觉感官给消耗 接近麻木大肆暴殄美好
月亮睡在窗边 不知道
淡白薄薄窗纱 倚风舞摆 不知道
已到达极迷糊程度

繁忙地铁内速递老翁上路
人丛内有学童相让坐位细心周到
邻人扶助温馨的景象 
谁人曾又会定神一睹
步伐极度急速心窝烫似赤道
视觉感官给消耗 竞技场内大肆暴殄美好
绝妙事在身边 不知道
越踏步越糟糕 执起刺刀 相煎熬
已到达极沦亡程度

云雾上那野鹭俯瞰人间国度
茫然地叫好比哀悼童心再找不到
缓缓沉落山边沼泽
停丛林内暗泪流一道

或许你们听过这首歌。。。

仔细聆听它的意思。

做人，每天似乎匆匆忙忙。加快脚步到达目标，目的地。最终，我们再赶，再冲，再快，到底为了什么？

有一点必须明白。时钟24小时，365天不会听。地球不断的在转。虽然如此，人不是机械或者时钟，不懂得停下来。

明白这一点，凡是冲，赶，快，最后得到的是空。重要的是能停下，放慢是重点。观看四周围的事物，你会发现四周围的花卉

和绿草。你不会落后，反而得到更多。。。

放慢，停止，静观。

再见不是朋友。。。（No Longer Friends）

我想反映出情侣分手后的情节。
分手后，不能当朋友吗？当初不是以朋友发展的吗？如今，为什么远或近距离看到对方，连微笑也不愿？交往时，到底发生什么事，导致你们见到假装对方透明？

我目睹过再‘见是陌生人’的前情侣，也目睹过‘再见是朋友’的前情侣。可能每个人不一样，有人能放得开，有人则永远背过去缠绕。如果真的很爱对方，为什么会分手？不要说是性格不合之类的理由。真正爱一个人，是爱他/她的所有，不管是优缺点。情侣分手也证明了一点，你们爱的不够深，缺少沟通。。。

分开是很艰难的事，分开后的日子难熬。

“最熟悉的陌生人”反映了分手的状况。

Irreplaceable...

There's some things you can't replace.
I bought a camera few months back. The reason for buying a camera was I need a good quality picture and video. As today was all about High-Definition (HD), I opted for a camera that supports 720p video recording.
I'd been using my phone as camera all the while. Until I realized the display of picture on my computer, which was very blur. That was the moment I realized that the phone camera does not produce good quality pictures and videos, also it was quite out-of-date, as I'd been using the phone for the past 6 years... Yes. 6 years. You did not heard wrongly.
That was until 3 days ago I changed to a new phone, Nokia C7... Let me guess, will I be using it for another 6 years...?

The camera on phone that I bought has 8 mega-pixels and supports HD video. However, I do not use it. Not really...

There's actually this thought of mine. I felt that phones can't replace cameras. Although they may have the most qualities that a camera has, thus posted a 'competition' (is it the right word?) between the 2 products, in personal opinion, I still think that camera exists (analog or digital) due to reasons that we, users, couldn't want to let go this product that has existed long ago. We still need camera for specific purposes. They can't be replaced by phones altogether. No. You won't think of a professional photographer uses a camera phone to take pictures, right? Let's not forget, the main function of the phone is make call and send messages. They are, until today.
There's more I need to stress out. Internet can't replaced televisions, newspapers, magazines and books (traditional media). We look for pieces of information all over the Net. In the end of the day, we still go back to the traditional medias to get the information.

Other than that, conventional phones cannot be replaced by mobile phones. I don't get some people. They don't use telephones in their homes. You need it. What if out of sudden you're mobile phone ran out of battery or just 'dead'? You must also know, not all places have network coverages. Also, lower the risk of cancer because there's no reception. Conventional telephones are to stay, no matter what.

I watched videos from YouTube just for fun. Not for the sake of watching it as I need it to be.
I can say I'm a 'traditional' person who still read newspaper daily, books, and magazines, watch television (been my habits since young) and listens to radio.

Whether you want to take pictures, watch movies or series, make calls, use the 'traditional gadgets' to do so.

p/s: Writing this blog as a reminder, remembering those 'traditional gadgets' that have been around us for a long time. Show respects to them...!

Semester 3...

Basically this is a short semester. I always like short semesters. Less subjects, assignments are done faster, more and time with lecturers.
This semester, I could say I'm more free that the other short semester I had when I entered university. Why? I took only 2 subjects. Less work and more concentration. Best of all, I don't have class on Mondays! Isn't this sounds good?! The previous semester, I had classes 8 hours, non-stop from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It was a real torture for me. From there I'd learned my lesson. Never take more than 15 credit hours for long semesters and 6 credit hours for short. In simple, 5 subjects maximum (long semester) and 2 subjects maximum (short semester).

I don't have class on Mondays. No more blues. No more alarm clock to wake me up. No more rush. Can stay up late...

p/s: I have longer sleeping hours, which is good, I think...

Food to thought...

I was reading newspaper in the morning and saw this weekly (sometimes fortnightly) article my doctor wrote. The title attracted me because it is related to: 'allergy'.

Those who knew me well, might know that I'm allergy to almost every food. From seafood to eggs and dairy products and certain nuts.
I'd history with food allergy. I don't know what and which type of food I'm allergic to until I tasted it. I had serious allergy problem 6 to 7 years back, as my face was full of red rashes. Took me almost 3 months to recover. Ever since that, I dare not to eat seafood, except fish anymore. No! Not even sambal belacan, otak-otak and keropok lekor. That's where I lost weight, because I was ill and restricted from eating all the food above.

Honestly, I'm not really a big fan of milk. I hate the taste being 'rubbery' and smelled funny. Well, everyone said that milk is good, this and that. So I listened and took it. I'd never enjoyed it. I showed reactions (not that serious) such as itchy and had rashes. OK, I'm officially allergy to dairy products now.
Being who I am is not easy. You have to let go many food that you indulged in. Girls, we all love creamy desserts, cakes and ice-creams (I loved once...). Sadly, I have to let go... a little by little. Nowadays, I only eat and drinks food and beverages containing soy milk. (At this very moment, I having a cup of banana flavored soy milk. Taste better than milk!)

I would like to know what kind of food you could not eat. Did you stop or continue eating those food you can't eat? Why?

Last words, food let to think, whether you should eat or not.
That's same with life. It's always your decision to take a step forward or remain in the same place.
