Cirque Du Freak

When I first heard Cirque Du Freak was out, I was super excited. I remember a few years back I read all 6 books, Cirque Du Freak being the first book. Darren Shan did a really good job. I used to be hooked to the books, it was full of adventure and action. And I loved the storyline.

For a while I was having doubts. I kept hoping and hoping that the movie does the book justice. And then I heard the storyline in the movie is different. My reaction? :
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Whyyy??! Why couldn't they stick to the original storyline??


And then I watched the trailer.



Bloody hell they changed the whole thing. In the book, he wasn't ASKED if he wanted to become a vampire, he didn't SMILE AND SAY YES. He was forced to. If he didn't, he would have lost his friend. And in the book he didn't exactly enjoy being a vampire. Based on what I watched, it looks like he's having the time of his life......

And I don't remember him coming out from a coffin. Goodness knows what else they changed.

BUT, there seem to be a few good reviews about the movie, a handful of bad reviews as well, but at least there are some good ones, so I guess there is still hope left.

Of food and decisions

My holidays have been very eventful. Week after week I was either going somewhere or there were people staying with us. I enjoyed it. And yes, my holidays were mostly about good food and making decisions about my life.

I miss Ipoh food! The butter fish! The special taufu! The home-made pizzas! The fried chicken! THE COFFEE!!!!
Oh! I made chocolate fudge! Hell yeah. It turned out awesome. And it's super easy to make. Although, I think I should go easy on the condensed milk the next I make fudge. Heaven I tell you!

Swensen's burgers are good! AND THE BANANA CRUMBLE DESSERT!! SO NICE!
I'm craving for more burgers with huge patties, and french fries, and pizzas.
If I keep this up I'll be round by the end of next month -.-

Just like that, 2009 is about to come to and end, and 2010 is just around the corner. I wonder what surprises 2010 has waiting for me.

I was reading about Financial Planning. Imagine being the one in charge of giving suggestions on how the company should spend their money, being the one who suggests budgets for projects, the one who manages the company's money with the help of the accountant. Sounds interesting no?

Hectic Holidays

Looks like I won't be blogging for a short while.

My holidays are turning out to be fun. Really fun. Everyday there is something new happening. And it just goes on and on. One thing ends and the very next day something else starts.

But I want to do my own things, at my own time, sitting at my own desk, in front of my own computer, or reading in my own bed, or going out and doing the things I want to do every now and then. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm tired.

Can I have a break from this really hectic holiday please? :)

Laugh like you've never laughed before

Who knew Subang Parade could be so much fun?! At first we were just walking around trying to pass time. And then we decided to go to MPH and read a bit. Then I saw Toys R Us. And I thought why not go there? The worst that could happen is we walk out unsatisfied and just go to MPH. Little did I know we would have so much fun. We were the biggest kids there. Pressing all the buttons that said 'Try Me!' The toys they come up with nowadays! There was this robot dog, that had a screen for a face. Basically you talk to it, and command it to do things. First we said 'shake hands', and it's little robotic paw moved up and down. And then we said 'munch', and the little mouth on the screen started munching and we could see food crumbs falling out, as if it was really eating something. SO COOL! There were guns! And masks that would change voices! And so many more. We were laughing so hard by the time we got out.

And then we saw the arcade. Even more fun. Shooting is so fun! I lasted the longest. HA! I so rule shooting. Haha. I lost at racing though :(
And you know that game where you have to whack the target with a hammer real hard and see what your score is. One of us reset the high score! WOO!

After that, we played badminton. We were kinda just playing as fast as we could cos the clouds were getting really dark and the wind was so strong. 2 minutes into the game, and I slipped and fell into the mud. I'm such a clutz. Got mud all over my pants. And we were practically screaming at each other cos we couldn't hear anything.

Then we went for dinner at Sumo. Awesome food. I think we laughed more than we ate though. We laughed at the truck. We laughed at the picture. We laughed at the puffer fish. And from plotting how to steal the chopsticks, we went to planning how to break open the boat, and then thought it would be better to just steal it. Then it went on to us thinking why not just steal the whole table, the picture, the boat, the chopsticks, the mug, the puffer fish, load it all up into the truck and drive off before anyone sees. This may not sound funny to you, but we were laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. And then we joked that they probably wanted us out of the shop quick, they might just let us walk out for free. So we called for the bill. You should have seen the look on the waitress' face and heard the way she said " Oh yes yes!" HAHAHAHA. And yes of course we paid. And no we didn't steal anything :)


HAI!!!

Why must the good times past so fast?

My cousin just recently got married. Congratulations Geetha and Raj!
The family is now bigger :)

She was the eldest girl among us cousins. It feels weird knowing she's married now, and one day will have a family of her own. She grew up so fast! *sniffs* HAHA

I have only attended Punjabi weddings on the grooms side. And I used to think it was very complicated! The wedding would go on for 2 or 3 days. And all the relatives would stay over weeks before the wedding, busy with the preparation.
BUT! Did you know that for the bride's side, the wedding goes on for FOUR days! There are so many more traditions! Yes very tiring, but SO MUCH fun :D
I remember we were all really tired even before the wedding, everyone was wondering how we were going to get through the week, and before we knew it the wedding was over, and no one felt a thing. That's how much fun we had.
Unfortunately, I have no pictures yet. Didn't take the camera cos I knew I wouldn't really have the time.



Ever felt like for a while you didnt really know your family well, and all it took was just one function to realize that you get along with them really well and have a lot to talk about like you've known each other for years? I have, and I'm loving it.

Random

Oh my goodness I am soo tired. It's been a really really really busy one week. It was fun though :)

I want a chocolate brownie with either a toffee nut or mocha praline frap :D
I want to go for a movie
I want subway
I want MONEY!
I want to lepak and talk about anything whether or not it makes sense, just like how this post doesn't make any sense. Haha.

Just like that

One and a half years just flew by.

Just like that, a chapter of my life ends, and a new one starts.

I should be happy, but I don't want this chapter to ever end.

:(


It feels weird not having to go to college anymore.
It feels weird not having to think of what to eat.
It had all become a routine.


And until today I still haven't had the "market burger"!!! Someone take me soon please! :D

OK I shall end my random post here.

2012

What do I think of this movie? SO GOOD!

POST AHEAD CONTAINS SPOILERS

OK, first things first. I LOVED THE MOVIE! Just how good was it? I could feel my heart pumping during so many scenes. Every minute was just so intense, I find myself forgetting the fact that I am in a cinema. Then again, this is just my opinion.

I'm not going to lie. The movie did freak me out.




The huge earthquakes, so big that Africa moved all the way to Wisconsin. (or was it the other way around?)




Volcano eruptions so massive that the whole of Hawaii was on fire.



The sea was so high, they came practically face to face with the peak of the Everest.

But towards the end, everything just sorta fell to place. OK, not EVERYTHING fell to place, but it was a happy ending nonetheless. It plays with your mind though. Keeps you thinking for a loong looong time. Haha.

I am back

YES I AM BACK!

No my exams are not done...YET. I have one more paper to go and THEN I will be done.

NO MORE CHEMISTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH! (to those of you who are wondering, yes I hated chemistry the most)

The past 3 or 4 months have been a real roller coaster ride. There were so many happy moments, stressed moments, laugh out loud moments, frustrating moments. But it's all over!!! A part of me is overjoyed beyond belief. Yet a part of me wants this to go on forever.....

In one and a half years, I have changed in so many ways, yet I am still me, if that makes any sense. My taste for just about anything has changed. Yet my perceptions have not. I've definitely become more independent. I'm one step closer to finding myself. The one thing that has not changed though, is that I have yet to decide what I want. But I'm getting there. I'm not as lost as before, so I guess that's good. I should be making a decision soon =)

It's probably been the best one and a half years I have had so far. Friendships were made, memories were made, all of which I will not forget.


With all of you, there was never a dull moment. :) I'm going to miss everything..... except for the studying, of course. Haha. Thinking of making a slideshow of all our pictures, just to make each of you all teary and emotional. HAHA!
**to those who still have a few more papers to sit for, go all out for it!! Before you know it you'll be done, and free like me! :D



AND! Season 1 of 'How I Met Your Mother' was so good! Why oh why is season 2 taking forever to download!!

Classic

One of his best songs. Dirty Diana. There are a few mistakes with the lyrics, couldn't find a better video.





Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, no

epic
:D

My pencil is balding

You know your pencil is seasoned when.....




......the rubber on the side is peeling as if it's brittle.

My poor poor pencil :(

Mystical Illusion

Ever had feelings that you couldn't describe, which then made you confused, and the confusion plus your feelings just made you feel lousy in a way? And you have no mood for anything? Your parents ask you what you want for dinner, but you don't even feel like having dinner. You're listening to your songs on the computer, and you suddenly hate ALL the songs. Not even one song satisfies you. So you open your book and try to do something useful, but you can't get anything right in Maths, and there are too many words in chemistry. Gosh, I hate this feeling.


Prom was good. It wasn't great, but it was still good. The food was good. The desserts! Quite heavenly, especially the mousse. Ahhhhh, I feel good just thinking about it. Haha! Yes I'm a bit weird.
And we were sitting right in front of the dessert table. :D
Spaghetti carbonara and the lamb was good too. My only complain is there was no water. Only orange juice. NO WATER. What were they thinking!
I think the highlight of the night, for me anyway, was the number of pictures we took. I can safely say, that before prom, I have never taken that many pictures in ONE night. And and, all pictures turned out nice :D
All in all, it was definitely way better than my high school prom.

Yeay! :)

~I'm so happy! Oh so happy!~

Today has been a very long day:

I went to I-don't-know-how-many boutiques

Walked around for about 3 hours.

I bought a dress after 3 hours, 50% off. Good bargain, for sure.

I lost ONE SIDE of my earrings. Great. I think it fell off in one of the dressing rooms.

I walked around for another......2....maybe 3 hours? Can't remember

I bought a pair of black heels after 2/3 hours. Finally! Been wanting one for ages. :D

I am now dead tired.

.......

Star wars according to a 3 year old

This kid is so cute! I love the way she says Obi Kenobi. HAHA!

Upgraded

I now have a new MP3! Thanks to my awesome friends! WOO! hahah!



I promise to take really good care of it!!! So that it won't end up like this :







Hahahah! Ehh, in my defense, I've had it since form 3. And after all the drops and scratches, it still played songs well.

Thank you so much! I love the new one :)

And thank you for making this year's birthday a memorable one :D

I love S1!!!! :)

18 'til I die, a little bit of this, a little bit of that
Little bit of everything, got you out on track
It's not how you look, it's what you feel inside
I don't care when I don't need to know why

18 'til I die, 18 'til I die
It sure feels good to be alive
Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55
18 'til I die

*part of the lyrics to 18 'til I die by Bryan Adams*



I'm officially 18. Happy Birthday to me :)




And a big big thank you to all who wished me. THANK YOU! Love ya'll :)

Not 2, but 3

My nose has 3 holes. HAHA!

Yes, I did it. I pierced my nose. I actually pierced my nose.

The PAIN! OMG! It's like at that point all I could feel was pain, all I could think of was pain. The guy pierced my nose with a needle, not with the gun thing. So that freaked me out at first, but my mum managed to convince me that it wasn't going to hurt. So I sat on the chair, hands all sweaty, closed my eyes, and then the guy sprayed some cooling thing and then he pierced my nose with a needle. Damn it really hurt. And it continued to hurt for the next hour or so. It did hurt when I yawned, when I smiled, even when I did nothing.

But now the pain is gone, so yeay! I'm so happy! I pierced my nose. WOO :D
To my mum : Thank you for being there. Thank you for holding my hand. (Hope I didn't squeeze it too hard .... hahahah!)

To my dad : Thank you for driving me allll the way there JUST so I could add another hole to my nose. HAHA!

:D

ps : my babe is coming back on the 4th! SOOO excited! :D

Pop legend

May his soul rest in peace.

Remember...

Little Lulu?? Oh my gosh this cartoon is so old!
Memories weh. HAHAH! :D

My dreams are always weird. I can never make any sense of it. And my dreams change every second. One minute I'm being chased in a forest, next minute I'm at some place that is supposedly my house...and the rest of the dream is a blur.

Today, I was in a car chase, and then next minute I was in college doing something or other. And then it changed again. I could see myself lying down on my bed. In the dream, I was trying to wake up, but my eyes couldn't open. I tried to move my hands, but couldn't. I tried to move my legs, but I couldn't. I could not move my body at all. It was as though I was paralyzed. And then, somehow, my mind confused reality with my dream, and for a moment there, I really thought that it wasn't just a dream. I could actually feel myself struggling to move. I could feel myself trying to say something. I tried and tried really hard to open my eyes. I could feel my heart pumping. I thought I would never move again. Right at that moment, my dog barked outside, and I woke up. My heart was beating so hard. I have never felt so relieved to feel my fingers move.

I know I know, quite silly, cos why would I be paralyzed, not like I was in an accident or anything. But at that very moment, the feelings were so real. I could actually hear my mum walking in and out of the room in my dream. It just all felt so real. It really spooked me out, I'm still spooked

:S

Chocolate makes me happyyyyy

The holidays just came to an end :(

So how did I spend my holidays?

1. I watched movies! And I have come to the conclusion that all movies about dogs make me cry. I cried watching Hotel for Dogs, and I definitely cried watching Marley & Me. And when I say cry, I mean cry until my eyes get all swollen. HAHA! Even A Walk to Remember didn't make me cry that much.

2. I went out window-shopping! I definitely prefer window-shopping than actual shopping. Why? Because I don't like wasting money. And, normally without my mum around, I tend to buy unnecessary stuff and the feel guilty about it later. SOO, I only shop with my mum :D

3. I went for a BBQ!!! The food was so good, especially the fish balls and sotong balls and corn. Cos I grilled it :D
Ehhhh whatever i cooked finished in like 2 minutes. See, I can cook.

4. Went for free buffet. OK it wasn't exactly free la, had to pay RM7. Soo cheap. The food was so-so. The company was the best. We ate so much chocolate!! Seriously, I think chocolate really has some hormone that makes you happy. We were all laughing like mad people over the smallest thing. Ben made me laugh so hard that when i was trying to put peanuts into my ais-kacang bowl, it all fell into the syrup bowl. No joke.
And for the first time ever it was kind of torture to laugh. I was so full that everytime I laughed my chest hurt. So everytime something funny happened my reaction would be : HAHAHA oh hell that hurts.
HAHHAHHA!

All in all I must say that it's been a good 4 days break.
Argh why must we start college tomorrow??? :(

PS : I love my friends :D so so so so so so much. :D

half the battle has been won

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

AS IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been the longest 4 weeks ever. No scratch that, it's been the longest 2 months. It seriously felt like the exams were never going to end.

And it's finally over. I have 4 days. FOUR DAYS to relax. No more worrying about the next paper. No more rushing to SOSAM office to study. It feels soo good to be able to finally breathe! :D

Time for my movie marathon.
Time to do some catching up :)
Time for some window shopping!

weeeeee :D

Life is a crazy thing

OK I really should be studying. And I am, just that I'm listening to songs in between and I found this song by James Morrison and I just had to share it with everyone. The lyrics are so true. So much has been going on lately, this is exactly the song I needed to hear. James Morrison is amazing.




Enjoy :)
I promise to properly update after the 10th!

a sweet reminder

Sometimes we just need to be reminded!

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill.

In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"

Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this."

He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.

He then asked, "Who still wants it?"

Still the hands were up in the air.

Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"

And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.

"Now, who still wants it?"

Still the hands went into the air.

My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.

No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.

It was still worth $20.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless.

But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you.

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.

You are special - Don't EVER forget it.

Count your blessings, not your problems.

And remember: amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic. If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.


:)

1 down

7 to go.

Taking a little break in between all the stress. The week seriously flew by for me. Like one day it was Monday and the suddenly I wake up and its a Sunday morning. Like seriously, where did the rest of the days of the week go????? The only other day that wasn't a blur for me was Wednesday.

Anyways, college seems waaaay packed now. Its like a good thousand students registered for the recent intake. OK I'm exaggerating, but you get my point right? Now it takes a good 10 minutes for the lift to come down, and when it does people rush in and you find yourself waiting another 10 minutes for the next lift. There goes 20 minutes of your day. Sheesh. But it doesn't end there. The lift then stops at every single floor. Even the 2nd floor!!! Take the stairs lah!!! Exercise a bit. Save the people who really need to use the lift some time.

On a random note, ever noticed how babies get excited everytime they see or experience something new? To them even discovering a new corner of the house can become a highlight-of-the-day kinda thing. The smile on their face when they find that new corner, or when you show them a new tune, it makes me smile from ear to ear as well. Yesterday was fun. Filled with words like rememer (remember), Mi-ne mose (Mickey Mouse) and Yehan (Jehan).

Hahahaha. :)

12 more days

12.more.days. First paper on the 13th. The only thing on my mind right now.
But, it also feels good to know that, in a way, this is only for another month, and then I get to breathe for about a week or two.

My family and friends have been really great support
I love all of you :)

Survive we will :D

I want to feel the wind

The heat really got to me today. The whole day, I've either been feeling irritated for no reason, or getting annoyed at little things, or having bad headaches which then makes me feel all annoyed again. Stupid heat.

For some reason I had the sudden urge to watch the other contestants on Britain's Got Talent. The one video that has been circulating the most these past few days is Susan Boyle's audition. She wow-ed me.
So I watched a few other auditions, and I must say, Britain has definitely got talents. Yeap, they're ALL talented to me. Watching the videos seriously made my day. I was smiling the whole , I dunno, hour? 2 hours maybe. There's Susan Boyle, Shaheen Jafargholi, Good Evans (singing family), Stavros Flatly, Flawless. These are just a few names on the top of my head.


This morning my mum showed me another video. This one is one I think everyone should watch. Its kinda like a wake-up call to watch it.

Click here

Happy watching :)

born to be wild

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild


Adam Lambert is amazing. He can sing any song. He can change a few parts here and there and make it his own. I think he has an amazing style. So what if he's gay? ( or so the media claims)
He can sing! :D

Born to be wi-i-i-ld

when everything feels like a chore

Great, my blog is dead.

AS exams are in 1 months time. I would be lying if I said I don't feel the pressure. I would be lying if I said I am 100% confident. I would be lying if I said it is a joyride. Any fool would know it isn't.

Ever felt like you were sick of studying? That you would love to take a life-long break? Ever wondered what the purpose of all this is? I have. I'm not doubting anything, I'm just tired of everything. I do know that it isn't exactly the right time to get tired of everything.

My cousin asked me the other day : " Now that you've made a decision for your future, how do you motivate yourself?" At that time, I just shrugged, cos I myself did not know the answer to that question. It got me wondering though, and now that I think about it, I guess it's my way of proving to myself that I can do whatever I want. It's my way of proving to myself, that no matter what, I can get things done.

Where there is a will, there is a way, always. :)

So I am the reason I'm still doing this. I keep myself going.

Doesn't really make much sense huh?

I CAN DO THIS! GAMBATE! haha.

And. I've just discovered the wonderful sounds of Skillet. They're actually a Christian band. I was shocked when Carissa told me. It kinda explains why they're not so popular.

-off to motivate myself :D

yet another video

OK I'm fully aware that my previous posts, have all been videos, and there's going to be another video in this post. Sorry la, I don't have anything to post about. More like I don't have time for anything but studies, so instead of posting about A-Levels, which will most definitely bore everyone, including me, I've taken to posting the videos that I've come to like.

This one is an interview on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. And the guest is none other than Dev Patel, the star from Slumdog Millionaire. I cannot emphasize enough how much I enjoyed this movie. OMG I LOVED IT!!!. Haha.

And it was a pleasant surprise for me to see how different he is in real life. I mean sure I didn't expect him to be depressed as he acted in the movie, but this...this is sooooo different.
He's so funny! I literally laughed out loud watching this video.

Enjoy :)





OK, back to studies.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR AS TO BE OVER!!

Are you going to finish strong?

Hah! To those out there who always argue with me, I think this video just proved that, truly, NOTHING is impossible.

Why I like youtube

This guy is good!





It didn't exactly blow me away, but it was still good. I mean come on, how many of you can do what he just did? Hehe



My cousin went to the doctor today. He's 7. The doctor wanted to do a blood test and he got scared. So the doctor told him it will only feel like an ant bite.
To which my cousin replied " Red ant or black ant?"

HAHAHAHAH! SOOOO CUUUUTEE!!!!!!! I can imagine him with his chubbiness and cute little shy face saying that. HAHA! :)

GreenEvolution

Everyone was wearing green. Made Amanda so happy. Hahah!
I don't really have the time to talk about it, so I'll just post up some pictures :)



Amanda Panda! Hehe :D


HAHAHAH! This is what happens when you put 2 crazy people together.



Bing-the-model and me :)


Kash and me. I jantung you!! HAHA!


Joelle! Hope you're feeling better :)

I love all of you :)

Sum 41, Switchfoot and Avenged Sevenfold are now 24/7 playing on my computer.

Shin ying, go download

I've been busy with A-Levels, and am going to be busy until mid-June, so there won't be any proper updates soon. Sorry!

Work like you don't need the money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Dance like nobody's watching,
Sing like nobody's listening,
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.


There comes a time in life where you realise that no matter what is happening, good or bad, you've gotta make the best of everything, and LIVE, because hey, we all know life is too short to sulk.

A trip down memory lane

Many people collect things. I know of people who collect stamps, matchboxes, sweet wrappers, and some even collect ang pau packets.




Me, I collect key chains. Everytime I go someplace new, I buy a key chain. It's sort of my way of remembering the places I've been too. A way to keep memories.




This was from a Butterfly Farm. I remember I got this when I was in standard 6. The teachers had planned a class trip for us. We went to the Deer Farm, the Butterfly Farm, and then had a picnic in Lake Gardens.



I also got this when i was in standard 6. The teachers were so nice. They made one for each and every student. Of course, it wasn't that many seeing as how it was a small school and only like 3 or 4 classes, if I remember correctly. But it's the fact that they actually did this for us. :)




This is from Botanic Gardens! A bunch of us had made a day-trip. I still remember all that happened! I remember everyone complaining how hot the sun was. And there were a few minor accidents involving the bicycles. Haha. I also remember what a great time we had. Oh gosh this is so nostalgic.

Ah. This one brings back so many memories. Sweet memories.....


Then there are the ones given to me.


From Pangkor. OK, I can't remember who gave me this one. (Debbie, was it you?)


From Bali. This one was definitely from Debbie. SO CUTE!!! Hehe


This is the one with a design inside the glass. Not sure if you can see but its actually orchids inside.


Canada! From Shin Ying darling :) Just as we became the best of friends, she moved to Canada. But that didn't make us any less close. If anything, it made us closer. :)



OK, I'm fully aware this is not a keychain, but I keep it with all the other keychains. Its supposed to be an actual replica of a rock. The picture is blur, but it is actually really really pretty for a rock. And shiny!! I love shiny stuff. Haha.



These are a few keychains my dad gave to me.

I love my keychain collection :D



Went to Pyramid yesterday. Was browsing through a few books and found this recipe book for tweens. Flipped it open and saw a recipe for chocolate milkshake.

It was called cocoa nana shake. HAHAHHAHAHAHAH

And for some weird reason I keep thinking today's a Saturday.

Thinking

These past few days I've been doing a lot of thinking.

Thinking about the past, about the decision's I've made and of how it's affected where I am today.

Thinking about the present, about what I'm doing to make the best of things, about how I'm coping, about how I handle my life.

Thinking about the future, about the decisions I will have to make, about the changes that will come with it, about how these changes are going to affect me, and of how I'm going to adapt to these changes.

There are people who tell me that I'm wasting my time doing A-Levels. That I should have just done my degree. Then there are people who tell me that me deciding to do A-Levels was a really wise choice.

I say that I don't think I'm wasting my time. I have my reasons as to why I chose A-Levels, and I must say, I stand by my reasons. What's wrong with a little extra knowledge, right?

I just remembered something my sister told me
You know how Chinese who can't speak Chinese are called bananas?
Apparently, the Indians are called Oreos.

Friday the 13th

So 13 is supposed to be an unlucky number, and Friday an unlucky day. This means Friday the 13th is a really really unlucky day.

I actually Googled Friday the 13th, because up till now, I didn't really know what was so unlucky about it. The theories I found!

Rossini was surrounded to the last by admiring and affectionate friends; and if it be true that, like so many other Italians, he regarded Friday as an unlucky day, and thirteen as an unlucky number, it is remarkable that on Friday, the 13th of November, he died

On the other hand, another theory by author Charles Panati, one of the leading authorities on the subject of "Origins" maintains that the superstition can be traced back to ancient myth:

The actual origin of the superstition, though, appears also to be a tale in Norse mythology. Friday is named for Frigga, the free-spirited goddess of love and fertility. When Norse and Germanic tribes converted to Christianity, Frigga was banished in shame to a mountaintop and labeled a witch. It was believed that every Friday, the spiteful goddess convened a meeting with eleven other witches, plus the devil - a gathering of thirteen - and plotted ill turns of fate for the coming week. For many centuries in Scandinavia, Friday was known as "Witches' Sabbath

Another theory about the origin of the superstition traces the event to the arrest of the legendary Knights Templar. According to one expert:

The Knights Templar were a monastic military order founded in Jerusalem in 1118 C.E., whose mission was to protect Christian pilgrims during the Crusades. Over the next two centuries, the Knights Templar became extraordinarily powerful and wealthy. Threatened by that power and eager to acquire their wealth, King Philip secretly ordered the mass arrest of all the Knights Templar in France on Friday, October 13, 1307 - Friday the 13th

Goodness. Needless to say, I do not believe in all this. Because there have been so many "Friday the 13th"'s over the years and nothing has ever happened to me. And today was possibly the best day of the week for me. This whole week I've been knocking into tables, spilling water, etc etc. Today I did not bang into anything, did not break anything, did not spill anything. Yeah, so basically it was a good day for me.
It's all superstition.

The part I hate about growing up

Everyone's leaving. Some to Australia, a few going UK some may be going US later on.

It feels like just yesterday we used to see each other every single day.
Just yesterday we were all under one roof.
And now everyone has gone separate ways.
I knew this day was coming. I just didn't expect it to come so soon.

We're all growing up, and I don't like it one bit.
Sometimes, I just wished things could stay the way they are, cos I like the way things are right now.




Speaking about growing up, Roy Wong Yeh Hee turned 19 today!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :D

*i feel so young :P *

Changed my layout

Yes, I have succeeded in changing my layout yet one more time. :P
I have a feeling I won't be changing the layout anymore for a very long time. I like this one. It's going to stay for at least a year, maybe 2, maybe 3. Haha. :)

The longest 4 days ever

Oh my goodness! The past 4 days have been the most tiring days ever. My daily routine had been go to work at 10 in the morning, come back from work at 10 at night, sleep. But I enjoyed every moment of it. I got to meet all kinds of people. British, Americans, Arabians, people from Uzbekistan, Japanese, Korean, Chinese ( as in Chinese from China ), and Australians.

The one thing I've come to realize in these 4 days is that somehow too many things have become common now. The most common thing has got to be Louis Vuitton bags. Some may be fake, some may be real, all may be fake or all may be real. I don't know. But the point is, the bags were everywhere. Some even had LV shawls and LV sling bags. Honestly, I don't really get why everyone likes LV. Sorry to all LV lovers out there but I don't like the design very much.

The other thing that has become real common is the MUFC T-shirt. This I can understand. Haha! And, for some reason or other, A LOT of guys seem to like green and white striped T-shirts.
Then there are things that go without saying, like the pair of slippers that have become way too common.


Also, within these 4 days, I have found possibly the most annoying thing ever. And it was right in front of the shop I was working in.


That THING.....that.....car?? SO ANNOYING!!! The noise it makes! Monday and Tuesday was the worst. That thing was just making noise from 10 to 10 non-stop. Argh! Why do kids like it so much??? I mean the sounds it made were like from a broken recorder! Imagine Tarzan's voice from a broken recorder! Annoying right? But, they liked it.


Other than this annoying thing, work wasn't that bad I guess :)

1 week off!

Yes, as the title says, I have ONE WEEK OFF!! :D


But. I'm won't be that free during the holidays. First off, I'll be working at KLCC. It's going to be a whole day thing. The bright side is in a way I'll be getting ang pau as well :D So from Sunday to Wednesday I'll be busy busy busy and real tired at night. I'm not complaining. I'm glad I have something to do other than sitting at home.

Also, the lecturers found it convenient to dump homework on us because we have such a long break. I honestly have a lot of homework. Especially statistics and maths. The two subjects that have become really complicated.

Oh and HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to those who celebrate :)
ANd to those who don't HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :D


PS : I was browsing through the internet and found this




Hahaha!

I'm still alive

Yes I know I haven't been blogging much. I guess you could say I don't have the inspiration and time? It's been a long an tiring week. Time for me to breathe....

Nuffnang ads are not working :(

Confusion

I'm at a point where I have absolutely NO idea what I want in life. I'm not proud of it, but it's the truth. I am stuck. I listen to someone and I get interested in whatever they're talking about because of the passion they have. And then I listen to yet another passionate person and get interested in what they are talking about. And then suddenly I realize I'm getting myself "interested" in everything. And so I sit down and I read and I ponder and I shorten the list to the things I think I am really interested in. It feels like a huge burden is lifted, because now I just have to find out more information, and decide what I want. I think to myself : "I'm almost there."

Next thing I know, my list gets longer once again. Not too long, just an addition of one or two things. The problem is, it was supposed to get shorter. I shouldn't be upset. Because this is my future we're talking about. I should always always leave my options open. But I'm becoming impatient. No matter how much I tell myself not too, each day I'm becoming more and more tired of being stuck. It's like I have no purpose. I want to make a decision. Fast.

Then I start getting worried. What if I make the wrong decision? My dad has told me that I can't think that way. Because if I keep asking myself that then I may never make a decision. He has a point.

I'm not going to rush myself. Neither am I going to take my time about it. It's just surprisingly difficult. I honestly envy people who know exactly what they want and how to get there.

Why is it so hard for me to make a decision????

Back to normal

Yeap, as the title says, things are now back to normal. Classes have started, no more sleeping in, you know what I mean. In a way I feel comfortable having some sort of routine in life.

This year is going to be a busy year. I have 2 external papers coming up, plus my piano exams. Doesn't sound like much, but trust me, it is going to be tough. I'm not complaining though. What's life without a challenge? Its weird though, going back to college knowing we're seniors now despite the fact that we've only been in college for half a year.


I miss the holidays :(

Ipoh

Ipoh was fun! I know I know, when is it not right? Although, this time around, the weather was kinda crappy. It was raining heavily every evening, causing floods everywhere.

Needless to say I ate like a pig, again.


There was this one particular night when there was just SO MUCH food on the table. The whole table was full of dishes!! There were more than 10 dishes! There were a lot of people at the table too, but we all still ended up tremendously full.

Slight proof that I did indeed eat a lot. Hehe.
Whatever weight I lost in the past month or so I put back on in less than 7 days. Bad. Really bad. The highlight of my trip this year would be the visit to Taiping Zoo!!

In this picture there are two little animals. The one on the left is a bird. A regular bird. And the one on the right is a mouse deer. I always knew mouse deers were small, i didn't know they were THIS SMALL!! IT IS FREAKING SMALL!!! Which is kinda cute in a way.





And then we saw orang utans and chimpanzees and other monkeys!! Our "cousins"! Hehe. I like the last picture. Its like a whole family of monkeys sitting on a bed and having a discussion of some sort.


After that we saw a crocodile!! This was a bit scary. I saw the crocodile way out in the water, only its snout sticking out. So I thought it was perfectly safe to go near. And so I go right to the fence. To my uttermost horror there was a huge crocodile right under my nose!! Isn't that dangerous?? I mean what if the crocodile was just playing dead, the fence was kinda low, meaning the crocodile could have jumped if it wanted to. =/





Next were deers. They were adorable! I saw a few chewing on the leaves outside the fence.
These my dear readers are called SAMBAR deers. Nice name. Haha!

Otters! They were probably the happiest animals there. The minute we came near them they dived into the water came right to the glass and did what looked like a dance for us. And then once their little show was over they'd go sunbathe on the logs. Haha!

We also saw ostriches and and zebras and giraffes and a cow with extremely huge horns and a malayan sun bear a tiger a lion a black panther a camel a hippopotamus and the list goes on.










Gosh I think I've put enough pictures up. Taiping Zoo was not the only place I visited. I went to Hospital Bahagia, where my mum and her family have a lot of memories, and I must say the place is really beautiful. Loved what they've done with it. It was a bittersweet experience :)


OH on the way back, something unusual happened. Haha. We were near the Lembah Beringin exit and suddenly we see a whole bunch of cars going the opposite direction. As in cars from in front had turned back and were making a U-turn into Lembah Beringin. We were just plain confused and my cousin tought maybe we should do the same cos there must be a reason for all this. And then just before we turned we realised that as far as we knew there were no exits to KL from Lembah Beringin. So we turned back. We were freaking stuck in a jam for one whole hour. No joke. Turns out there was an accident. Pretty bad too. There was aa huge lorry and a car involved. There was a hole in the lorry, but the car looked unharmed. Weird.

So much for trying to avoid new year's eve jam. :P

ps: sry about the pictures, don't know why they went out of proportion like that
