Goodbye year 2008!

This will be the final post for this year. After that it will be a brand new year for me!

I sort of thinking to blog something random, just for the sake of posting something final here haha.

I experienced so many FIRST times and to think back, I really love them =)

This year was the 1st time I attended Jay Chou's concert in Stadium Merdeka. It was like a dream come true! I was so thrilled, so touched and I nearly cried when I saw him coming out from stage, because I yearned to see him since form 1 and this year was the very 1st time I saw him live in person!!!! He was awesome and his concert was superb! OMG! I wanna see him live again!

Me with the precious ticket

Then I also went to The Click Five's concert in Genting. Though not many people went but their concert certainly rocks! My very first visit to a live English concert =) They were great!

The Click Five

I heart their concert =)

Other first times are like learnt to play guitar, dined in Chilli's and TGI Fridays, attended a reality show "So You Think You Can Dance" and involving myself in Festival and Orientation programs like Welcome Freshmen Concert and Ice Breaking.

"So You Think You Can Dance"

Besides, I have went to many places under Traveler's Den. First was FRIM, followed by Gua Tempurung, Pulau Redang, Pulau Perhentian & Lang Tengah, Taman Negara, National Bird Park and visited Malaysia International Fireworks Competition (MIFC) for the 2nd time in Putrajaya.

As for Community Service Society (CSS), I joined a trip to SPCA and gosh those lil animals were so cute. Wish I could own one of them =)

This is my 1st time meeting Kelvin =)

My favourite in SPCA - Dora!!

Then of course, the Langkawi Project (浮罗交怡计划 - 社区服务团) was also 1 of the activities under CSS and had no regrets joining it. Gained lots of experiences, met and made friends with other campuses students and also had 2 new foster families. If you wish to join, there's an intake next year. Please don't miss it!!

I LOVE you all man!!

We're a HAPPY family!!!

Worked as a Sensodyne promoter in TESCO. Made another bunch of new friends and experienced working life in a hypermarket =)

Well, like I said time really flies. My besties have graduated. Vivi is the 1st one to step out and work as a real graphic designer. Soo Yee has graduated in Hotel Management and wish to further her studies. Mei Fern graduated from diploma and is continuing her course in TARC. I will be the last one to graduate among them..... haih

Soo Yee's graduation

Reading the big card given by her AB family

Crying... because it was soo touching =)

I would say, this year is a busy year for me, but I really enjoyed it. I feel that life in uni and college must be full of memories because once we step out to work, life will be very different. While we can enjoy while learning, we must grab the chance to do so. Enjoy to the max people!!

What I am really satisfied and happy about is that my friendship with my besties and sisters is getting stronger day by day. We might not get to meet always, but our hearts are always together. Girls, you guys rock!! I love you all!!!

BESTIES forever babes!!!

Some of TOU members

11 years of friendship

LOVE you my dear!

But there is something missing that makes year 2008 incomplete for me. It has been a long time since we whole family (including my brother who's in Brisbane) went for a vacation. Though I went China with my dad and mom last year, but my bro was not with us. I kinda miss him =( I really hope that he can come back next year!

Alright, now it's time for me to make my new year resolutions. I will make sure that I reach my target =) Goodbye year 2008! And people, let's welcome year 2009!!!!!!

Here I come year 2009!!!!!

RED and BLUE pendant

RED and BLUE pendants

Once, these 2 pieces of pendants were meant to be together. They fitted so nicely, so beautifully and was the only pair of pendant of this sort in the world.

But somehow, after some complications, they could not seem to fit into each other again. They tried every single way to fit in, but in the end what they gained were scratches all over their bodies due to misplacement of angles.

How could this happen?

Well, maybe the RED one has grown out of shape without realizing. It was under the sun all is while. Some of the edges melted due to the heat and could not be mended again. This happened because it was its first time experience as a pendant and did not know that excessive exposure under the sun could distort it.

But it may be the other way round.

The BLUE one has always liked to stay in cool places because it wanted to remain its shape nicely. However, the moment it met the BLUE one, somehow it was tempted to follow it to go under the sun more often. Without realizing, the temperature has started to change its shape bit by bit. But it did not mind at all. It knew that now it enjoys being under the sun.

However, the RED one did not notice these minor changes.

Whenever the BLUE one went to cooler places for some shade, the RED one was quite unhappy with it. It always told the BLUE one, "Don't go into the shades too often. You never know what FIERCE animals are hiding behind them. "

But how could the BLUE one do that?

The cool places were shades that it was used to and had grown up in them. How could it leave them behind just like this?? There was a special bond between it and the places and it was very fond of them.

So both of them started to argue about this matter, over and over again. Each time, no solution was made and therefore the argument went on and on.

Maybe it was because of the endless arguments. Maybe it was tired of arguing about the same thing over and over again.

The BLUE one realised that it must try to mend things back before it is too late. Unfortunately, they found out that they could no longer fit into each other.

Complications happened

So, which party should they put the blame on?

The BLUE one? For keep going back to the shady places?

The RED one? For always being under the sun?

.
.
.
.

They should not blame anyone.

They should try to sort things out in order to be a perfect pair of pendant again.

But this needs time, and I hope the day will come where they can fit into each other again.

I hope so.

- End -

I'm OK

My dear sisters, besties and friends, THANKS a lot. I'm fine, serious. Well, maybe I just need some time to think all over again.

I never thought that I would make such decision. Well, I might have thought of doing so but had always just THOUGHT without any action.

Is this the correct and best way to straighten things out?

I do not know for sure but at least, I do not regret but hell yea, I am sad.

The decision shattered my life into pieces and I was my own murderer. Who could I blame? I wanted it to end up like this and I was the one suggested it this way. So, I WAS THE MURDERER.

Maybe people around me will think that, "Hey, you look ok. These 2 days you still can hang out with friends and have fun. I don't see you're sad or depressed."

Well, that was just for temporary.

People, life still goes on and I still have my life to live on. It will just make things worse if I stay at home. Hanging out with friends makes me feel better. At least, they kept me talking while they were around me, so that I would not have so much time to think about those sad things. Moreover, they brightened up my day by cracking jokes and making me laugh. Yea I still can laugh because they are my true friends and I still have them by my side, to help me through this hard stage.

Ming, I'm sure we can pass through this hard stage together. I'm sorry to hear what happened to you. Guess your situation was much worse than mine. Never mind, be tough! We still have the rest with us right? =)

I still hope that, this decision will really straighten things out. I hope, "the day" that I'm waiting for will be waiting for me soon.

你是我那2万人的其中一人

"世界上会有2万个能与你有机会成为情人的人，有很多因素造成最后的后果。那些成不为男女朋友，最后可能反目可能成为好朋友。”


你们有看过这篇文章吗？

如果有一天，有人告诉你：“你是我那2万人的其中一人。。。”，你会感动吗？

坦白说，我会。

如果真的有人那么告诉你，大概那个人真的是很喜欢你。如果能与他成为情人，就代表你和他真的真的很有缘。真的要珍惜哦！

Do you believe in Forever and Ever?

Well, I should not be blogging here, at this time - 9.23pm.

I have to send a report before 10pm to my secretary but I'm too lazy to think of how to write and how my program is going to run.

And 1 more thing, I'm too full right now. Haha just came back from Sri Ananda Bahwan in Little India together with Yee, Vivi and Chris. Seriously, I'm soooo full!!! I don't know how the hell the 3 of them can still proceed with dessert at somewhere I don't know. Good gracious!

It's so good to meet them just now. Haha chatted about life, work, friends, love life etc etc including gossips of course wahaha. They are what I always call true friends, just like my sisters =)

Well, yesterday I attended my relative's wedding. To be precise, it was actually my mum's cousin brother's wedding. So my cousins, aunts and uncles from KL of course came all the way to Penang to attend his wedding dinner.

The dinner was held in a restaurant in Island Plaza. Erm, the food was quite ok and nothing much to comment. Basically the whole event went on well. The couple was happily married and they flew to Bali today for their honeymoon.

Everything happened like in just a few seconds. In the morning, they had the traditional wedding ceremony of drinking tea and giving out ang pau. At night of course was their wedding dinner. After that, well it was their first night. So basically the whole thing happend, just like this. It started so fast, and ended so fast.

It's so easy huh? Haha... not to say envy la but well happy for them of course. I mean, not every couple can get married right? Sometimes I think that those people who agreed to marry are very courageous.

Why I say so? You see, the percentage of divorce is increasing everyday. It seems that, now, divorce is such a common thing in life.

If you know 1 day you'll divorce, why you care to marry?

Of course you'll say, "Nobody knows or expects when to divorce and that is why they got married." Ok, yea that's the point. Noone knows for sure. Unless you have those planned marriage and divorce to get his or her properties. Well, that's a whole different story then.

What I want to say is that, if 1 decides to marry, that means he or she wants to live forever and ever with his or her partner. But, how do you know for sure how long you'll live happily with your partner? 1 year, 3 years, 10 years, 30 years or whole life??

Thank god I have a wonderful complete family. But this does not stop me from thinking of failure in love and marriage. Ok, I know I'm still too young to talk bout marriage but it's still my future right? Unless I plan not to marry. But I don't plan like this. Every girl of course will want to live happily ever after with her dream man and so do I. But the point is, how do you know for sure which guy is your dream man after all?

If you're already in a 4-year relationship, so what? I've seen friends who are in love for years and yet in the end they broke up. Why? Don't ask me. I don't know.

Seems that there's no guarantee in love.The most important thing is that, cherish every moment you have with the one you love now. Who knows, he or she might be your dream guy or girl. If not, then you should not have any regrets because you've done your best in the relationship and you cherished every moment with him or her.

Do you believe in forever and ever?

If you do, it's a good thing because you have found someone good. If not, then let time prove it.

For me, I don't. Because promises that were made were meant to be broken, and I hate broken promises.

About Working Life and So-called "Supervisor"

It's now already past 12 midnight, meaning now it's 24th of November.

HAPPY 2oth BIRTHDAY, CHIN HONG!!!!

Haha yeah it's his birthday but could not manage to call him because he was too busy with wishes from his other friends.

Anyway, may all your birthday wishes come true, Chin Hong. I sincerely hope that from now onwards you'll always be happy. And to let you know, you've been a great friend, and is still a great friend =) Thanks for everything~!

******************************************************************************

Today will be the 12th day of my work, which was scheduled as a 14-day project. That means there are 2 more days to go! YAHOO!!!!

Well, currently I'm a promoter for a product and I've started work since 13th of Nov. I've been working non-stop since then. So after Wednesday, I'll have freedom again!!! =)

Well, at first I was kinda reluctant to go to work though the pay was a bit attractive. The reason was because, Kevin (Chi Hwa), who was supposed to work with me told me that he could not work for this project anymore as he just had braces on.

I was like, "WHAT? When on earth did you have braces on?? And why did you have it on RIGHT BEFORE the project?! Why must you leave me alone with SOMEONE?" *sob*

So, SOMEONE would be taking over his place. At the thought of SOMEONE, I started to get worried. I was scared that this person, my so-called "supervisor" might be very strict, serious and we might not have topics to chat and that would make the 14-day project damn boring.

The first day I saw that SOMEONE I felt that he LOOKED LIKE a pro. Gosh, I was getting more nervous. He seemed so responsible, so strict until I did not dare to do crazy things like I usually do. What I could do was to listen and follow everything that he said. The rest of the time I just kept quiet, though at times I was too curious so I asked him a few questions.

Well, this SOMEONE, whose name is Benny - 贝尼 or 贝妮 (given by me haha) turned out to be someone super nice, friendly, crazy and talkative like me. WHOA!!! It's too good to be true! Seriously working with him is so much fun, and I also had the chance to learn a little bit of marketing skills.

He's a UTAR Kampar Marketing student and is also my junior haha. You know, I've never seen such a guy like him before who is always so conscious about slimming down (though he's already slim) and his daily calories and nutrient intake counts. Ask him how much protein must we consume a day or how to eat at the cheapest way, he for sure can give you a very satisfied answer. =)

The best thing I like about him while working with him for this long is that he never simply use his "supervisor" power to scold or order to do stuffs. Though of course, when I did any mistake, he would tell me in a quite strict manner.

Anyway, he told me a lot about his family, good friends, weird classmates, weird neighbours,university, past relationships, current target, opinions and thoughts, gossips etc etc. And I don't know why we were always laughing madly. At times I just could not control myself and laughed like a mad woman. I hope that noone complained about us and noone will complain us for the remaining 3 days.

Working on weekends is more fun than working on weekdays because on weekends, there are many promoters promoting various kind of products. I made many new friends and they are all very nice and friendly people.

As for weekdays, there are only both of us and a few aunties, and the crowd is so much smaller compared to the crowd in weekends. So the only thing source of entertainment is from ourselves, by cracking and stupid jokes and crapping some silly stuffs. Luckily sometimes Kevin came to find us or I met my old friends and uni friends. But of course we must be serious also because we are required to hit target sales.

Well Benny, if you happen see this post don't think that I've climbed over your head ya. I just want to let you know HOW NICE ARE YOU haha. Thanks for not bullying me except for saying me short. LOL

The next post I'll tell you about the customers that we've met. But that'll be after my final day of working.

Hmm.... still not sleepy but I got to wake up early. Hope that tomorrow the sales can be mantained at the normal range.

Nitez everyone!

I Don't Know Why

It's already 5.28am and yet I'm still here blogging.

Actually I've fallen asleep way before 11pm but suddenly woke up at 4 something. Finally I've made up my mind to reply that message.

I don't know why, I just don't know how to react.

Left a post in TOU blog, guess my sisters will help me after reading what I've posted up.

Somehow, the message touched my heart, more than I thought. I hope, things will still be the same because I love how it always is =)

Just listened to Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade. I think, I'm already in love with this song.

I don't know why tonight after listening to it, my mood is so down...

Well, below is the movie clip:




"Fall For You" by Secondhand Serenade

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Ohhhh

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

I'm being paranoid!

My heart's beating rapidly now. Many things are racing in my mind now. Suddenly in the middle of the night (3am) I heard someone's car alarm went off. It was familiar and sounded so much alike to the alarm of my shared car. Then someone pressed the honk, once. I did not dare to open the door, but I peeped through the curtains and I found that, it was not my car after all. Then whose car was it?

Lately there have been many break in cases in my neighbourhood. Just last weekend, someone broke into my neighbour's house. Yea, the one on the right side of my house, just right beside my house. Then before that, someone broke into the house opposite of mine. Scary right? I mean, imagine a break in case just beside your house!!!!

I heard that the thief not only went in, but ate and drank in the house. Wah... so daring man! That's why lately I'm kinda worried about my house safety, as well as mine and my parents. Our country has turned to be so dangerous.

I thought someone came into my house and wanted to drive my car away. Haha, I'm a worrysome. I tend to imagine things, keep worrying stuffs that people think it's impossible. But, seriously with so many break in cases nearby, how can I not to be worried?

Our society isn't safe anymore. In short, no matter where we are, we must always be alert. Haih...

A Blur Blur Day!

Haha I recovered from a 2-week sickness and thought of ordering delivery Domino since I was kinda lazy to go out for lunch. Mom's not in and I'm home alone for the afternoon. Being a lazy bum, I went online and ordered delivery. I thought I was so smart not to have to step out of my house for lunch.

I was waiting and waiting and I thought the delivery guy was late and I was kinda pleased because normally if they are late, we will receive free coupons as a sign of apology. Then my phone rang and I was pretty sure it was a call from Domino's Pizza at Krystal Point.

The conversation was as below:

Domino : Hello, is this Miss Sherril?
Me : Yeah speaking. [thinking they cannot locate my house]
Domino : Did you just order a personal pizza "Chicken Pepperoni"?
Me : Yeah.
Domino : What was your take out time, miss?
Me : Er 1.25pm. [that time it was already about 1.45pm]
Domino : Yeah, so erm, are you now on your way to collect, miss?
Me : [stunned for a while] Yeah sure I'm now on my way.
[I was still sitting in my living room!]
Domino : Ok thank you.
Me : Thanks.

After ending the call I was like, "What? I thought I ordered delivery? Why must I go and collect myself????"

Then I went online to check the email confirmation content and it stated:

"Take-Out Order"

Oh my goodness! So I've mistakenly online ordered a take away order! Shit! I thought I can just laze around at home waiting for the delivery guy to arrive. And now, I have to drive out to collect it. ISH! No wonder I'm known as Blur Blur!!!!

Aiks, a lesson for me to learn. When I reached there and told them I'm Sherril who ordered online, the guy at the counter was like, "Ok." Giving me a face saying that, "Finally you've come to collect. LOL"

Anyway, maybe it's fated to be like this. Because when I stepped in Domino's I heard someone called "Sherril Leow". I turned and saw my ex-high school mate - Xuan Yi. If I didn't make such stupid mistake I wouldn't have met her. Didn't really chat with her though because she was with her friends.

A really BLUR BLUR day!

**************************************************************************

Went to APT Hair Saloon and Academy at Burmah Road yesterday to have my hair cut by my cousin. She took a hairdressing course there and is going to graduate by the end of this year. She needed me to be her model for her portfolio and I agreed to let her cut and dye =)

Not bad I would say hehe because I get to cut free and wash hair for free ^_^ Well, of course her teacher guided her on how to cut my hair and I'm quite satisfied with the look. I wanted to change a bit of style but don't feel like cutting it short and she really gave me a new look =)

I'll go to her house during the weekend and let her dye. I wanted to dye dark blue but she said it's not lasting. Haih...... should be dyeing some dark brown colour, or maybe dark red purple or something like that. I always wanted some special colour like dark blue or purple but all not lasting. Any suggestions?

Below are some photos of the process :

She started off by shampooing my hair.
See I was totally enjoying the washing + massaging!

Washing + conditioning

Started to cut my hair at the back.
Or like people always say in Hokkien: "Siak Pok"





This technique is called something like "slide cut". (simply crap)






See the 45 degree angle? It's different from the above.
Her 1st time trying out new technique with her teacher's scissors.




Time to blow my hair!





Argghh!!! GHOST a!!!!
Never knew my fringe was that long.




Tadaa!!
My new look with my hairstylist - my cousin - Greenish Ching.

Before and After look.
Somehow I look fatter after a couple of hours huh?

p/s: Please IGNORE the stupid looking face on the right!

I know I've not blogged for like a month. Well, beforehand I was busy with the Langkawi Project stuffs. Then when I was back in Penang, I immediately fall sick for about 2 weeks. So now only I can start blogging wahaha... Sorry people!

Yay, tomorrow mom's coming home I'm so happy!!! Haha no more lonely lunches!

浮罗交怡计划 - 社区服务团 Langkawi Project

Haven't blogged in a while huh? Sorry, was busy preparing for my final paper before hand and went out a lot before I started to prepare the Langkawi Project stuffs (浮罗交怡计划).

Wah, just reached home from a 2D1N 社区服务团 (Langkawi Project) training camp in UTAR Sungai Long campus. Seriously, I'm not that tired but hell, my both legs are freaking in pain. Haha I know I'm complaining like an Ah Ma, but really, people who don't exercise much like me will face the same problem after this training camp.

Maybe you think that punishment like pulling ears up and down is easy and light, but when you are being punished 40 over times early early in the morning, you'll know the taste. Haha I'm not grumbling for being punished, but I think I really need to exercise more regularly d.

Haha imagine with our thighs aching like hell, we still need to climb a don't know how many fleets of stairs to the 8th floor of the building. When we need to go toilet within 5 minutes, we had to go down to 5th floor and go back to 8th floor. Haha.... I think I walked like a duck while going down the stairs because my thighs were so pain. LOL.

OK, enough for the negative stuffs. Besides that, I think for overall, I really enjoyed myself. Frankly, I thought of backing off from this programme because there was a time that I was really homesick and I wanted to go back hometown badly. But after this training camp, I'm semangat berbara-bara again. Haha no worries, I'll do my best because I've set my mind on it!

Learnt lots of clappings, dances etc. Plus, today we attended 4 talks and learnt a lot of stuffs. Lazy to list everything out. Basically, it's about:

• brief history and intro about Langkawi Project
• counselling techniques, how to communicate and get along with people
• steps and ways to become a good leader
• education loans, scholarships that can be applied
  www.malaysia-scholarship.com
  
• types of tertiary education for people who really don't like to study
  Eventhough they are not good in studies, they can still be as successful as us!
  
• things and qualifications that a leader must be well prepared with

Haha sounds boring? But the speakers are experienced speakers. They conducted good talks and successfully enlightened our moods and motivated us by funny and interesting ways of speaking=)

I really hope I can be as successful as those seniors and can guide my soon-to-be adopted brother/sisters well to the least of University level. I will be carrying a great responsibility to ensure that they have the right thinking and concept of education. All the best to everyone including members in Sg Long!

Here, I would like to express my gratitude to members in Sg Long for providing accommodation for members in PJ and Setapak last night, especially to Carmen. Her house is like a hotel to me. THANK YOU girl! It's nice meeting you from the 1st meeting. Next time must remember to take picture with you =)

The best sentences that I've learnt (in Chinese):

• 唯有当你愿意把功劳归给别人时，才会成为真正伟大事业。

• 不要与禽兽争斗（野蛮的人），因为：

如果你赢了，那你比禽兽还禽兽
如果你输了，那你连禽兽都不如
如果打平了，那你和禽兽没有两样

By the way, give you a question (mind test):

Draw a face consisting of 10 shapes. However the shapes are limited to only
triangle, square and circle.

Answer:
If your drawing consists more:

1. circles : You are lack of love.
2. squares : Square-minded. Don't know how to twist around and is a very logical person.
3. triangles : You're someone who always like to do the opposite ways. Rebellious.

So, which type are you? Haha won't tell you mine. Blek.

Hope that our team will be successful! GAMBATE everyone!

Will be busy preparing stuffs for this event until it ends on 12th of Oct. Till then!

More hectic after exam LOL

Haven't blogged in a while huh? Sorry, before hand I was busy preparing for my final paper and was totally stressed over it. Felt like vommitting the morning before the paper but after the paper I was totally alright. Haha, guess I was really stressed because I thought I didn't prepare well.

Last Saturday I went to National Zoo. Yea you heard me correctly, I went to NATIONAL ZOO. Haha, when I told my mum I'm going there, my mom was like, "What? You are still a kid a???!! Aiyooo..." Haha yea I'm still a kid so why not go there and have a look since it's so near my house?

Well the zoo's condition not that good, not sure why they didn't maintain it well. I felt that the animals there were so pitiful. They looked so skinny and sort of lack of nutrients. I wonder the 15 bucks that we paid had gone where??

Then on Sunday, we have house outing. For the very first time, all of us, the 7 of us got together and found a suitable time to hang out. COOL! Haha, it's been such a long time since we got to gather everyone in the house together. We went Sunway Pyramid, bought Fern's favourite baggie as her birthday present. She loved it so much =)

We thought of having steamboat as dinner at Yuen (opposite Pyramid) but we didn't make our booking and the booking list was already full. We ended up eating opposite Yuen - Chong Heng Steamboat Restaurant. Hmm... still not bad la. Then we had another surprise for Fern, a surprise birthday cheesecake. Haha, I tell you, she nearly dropped her tears because she was surprised and touched. Well, we didn't celebrate with her earlier because all of us had exam but we did a small joke with her that night =)

Monday had ice-breaking meeting at uni. I was kinda worried because this is the 1st time I'm participating in ice-breaking officially and am the chairman. Before hand I was just a helper. I hope those experienced members as well as my vice chair can help me out. Paiseh, I know I ddin't conduct well the 1st meeting. Hope I will do better!

Tuesday and Wednesday I spent my time in Genting with Kuak, Fern, Wei Yang, Baby Ong and Wai Kit. Quite enjoyable hehe and had a surprise for Kuak since we can't celebrate with him. Anyone going genting still? We went under this package - Special 888 Deals. Haha a standard room in First World Hotel only costs RM38.80 per night inclusive of breakfast (for LOW season of course). Super super super "tat" leh!

Yesterday had my 下乡3rd official meeting. VERY TIRED. Lol, actually everytime after this meeting I'll be super tired. Seriously, I'm kind of homesick right now. I don't know why, suddenly I wanted to go home so much. Feel like backing off from this programme but I know it's impossible. Haih... have to go on with it!!!

Was selected to be the pianoist for our group song. For your information, the song is self-composed by our members and it's very very nice.

TADAAAA!!!!!

Haha, is it familiar to you? My classmate, Kok Yik sent me just now. Well, who knows, maybe you will see this ad pasted around your apartment area. *ngek ngek*

I know you're asking, "Who the hell are they?"

Alright, the one on the left side is our Af Fang, who once seemed (or maybe actually) interested in our professor of class - my beloved cousin. He's a nice guy, not sure why he committed in crimes since the only bad thing I know about him is he USED TO smoke. Alright, see the word USED TO? Means, now tak ada liao.

Then on the right hand side is our Wei Hau ge. This stripe shirt of his left us (me, shyuan and baby ong) with lots of MEMORIES. Muahaha..... but I think he also learnt his lesson not to be so blurrrr. Won't tell you what memories since it's quite embarassing for him haha. Never know that a blur blur person will commit in crime one day. =___=

***********************************************************

Alright enought crap. Paiseh stressed like hell for the past few days because of finals so please excuse me if I crap too much here to de-stress myself =)

By the way, if you're half way stressed up right now, feeling like bashing people out, here's something interesting for you to de-stress yourself. Guarantee you'll have a nice time browsing through it.

I saw this link while browsing through my 11-year buddy's blog. This link will link you back to the the 60's of UTAR. Yea serious, 60's of UTAR. I know UTAR's history has not yet hit 10 years, but really, you can find the olden days of UTAR with the olden days seniors there.

Wanna see yourself? Then go to KiaSu Spirit. (p/s: Provided that you know Chinese. If not, then you're still welcome to view the wonderful pictures)

Alright till here. Basically I'm now left with 1 more paper, which will be on Friday. After that, wohoo!!!! I'm FREE!!!!! But before that, guess I'll need to prepare for the worst because I really think that within these 4 days my level of insanity will increase drastically.

Analogue Electronics, anyone???

Singapore Blogsphere and Malaysia Political Atmosphere

Wow, lately been doing some research on current Singapore blogsphere as well as current Malaysia political atmosphere.

Am never been interested in politics, but ever since the last major election in March, issues of the dirty-minded politicians have drawn my attention. Sadly indeed, these dramatic plays are for real.

Remember the Immigrant case??!!

He made racist remarks and was suspended for 3 years but Raja Petra Kamarudin, founder of Malaysia Today, Sin Chew Daily reporter Tan Hoon Cheng and DAP Seputeh's MP Teresa Kok were detained by ISA. Why?? Visit The Star Online for more info. Anyway, go to Kenny Sia's Chinese Squatter and Ah Mad Strikes Back posts. His comics are funny =)

In history, we were asked and taught to LOVE our country, and taught us to be Bangsa Malaysia. Today I just had my Pengajian Malaysia paper. Needless to say, I did badly. I remember answering the last question :

"Terangkan 4 langkah yang boleh mewujudkan Bangsa Malaysia."

Well, I crapped stuffs in it. I crapped things that I personally feel unsatisfied in it. What to do? We are taught to write these kind of answers. =_='' In your mind, how to form Bangsa Malaysia?

I remember reading the 13 May 1969 incident. This is what was written in the lecture notes that were handed out to us:

".....ketidakseimbangan ekonomi juga antara penyebab peristiwa 13 Mei. Orang Melayu merasa bimbang dan tidak selamat terhadap jurang perbezaan antara mereka dan bukan Melayu terutama dalam pendidikan dan ekonomi."

We are always reminded not to talk and raise any issue about this incident, and yea we DID NOT utter a word about it. But who raised it first after so many years? Who threatened us with this incident??!! And was that really the reason for this incident to happen? Read these links for detailed information regarding this incident: Malaysia Today, Wikipedia.

******************************************************

Alright enough of those. I'm sure avid bloggers are aware of what happened in Singapore blogsphere :

The catfight betwteen 2 Singaporean celebrity bloggers - Xia Xue and Dawn Yang.

While searching the net for more information about the thruth, I came across this blog, http://simonseow.blogspot.com. He posted the screen shots of the DELETED entry post by Xia Xue regarding the Dawn Yang thingy. This entry post created a controversy and Dawn Yang took action to sue Xia Xue by sending Xia Xue a lawyer letter (22 July 2008 enrty). But well, the case is closed already. If you happen to be like me, missed out this particular post and wanted to see how controversial it is, then you can read it in Simon's blog =)

Frankly, I'm not a fan of either of them, but if I have to stand by one side, that'll definitely be Xia Xue! Wahaha... she may not be as pretty as Dawn Yang, but at least she admits the truth and does not deny her plastic surgeries or fake her heritage. (though well, she might be rude at times) If you were to compare the 2 blogs, I would say Xia Xue's blog provides more info, rather than just photos =) Here's the pictures from their blogs.

~ Dawn Yang ~

A Christian girl who parties a few nights in a week and
self-claimed that Edison Chen woo-ed her through her MSN.
She said she's a conservative girl and denied having undergone
several plastic surgeries.

VS


~ Xia Xue ~

A girl who dares to voice out and write controversial articles.
Doesn't like to be compared to Dawn Yang and has
uploaded the processes of her undergoing plastic surgeries.

Seems that there are many Dawn Yang haters out there and they even created several hate sites of her. Well, I admit I'm kaypo and has nothing better to do than studying for exam. So Fern and I found these few sites quite startling. Visit them if you think you are as free as us wahaha.

1. Dawn WaYang
2. The Lies of Dawn

Alright till here. I have 2 more subjects to go before my holiday officially starts!

1. 15/09/08 (Mon) - Electrical Power and Machines
   
2. 19/09/08 (Fri) - Analogue Electronics

All the best to me and all the best to you! Gambate!

HAPPY MOONCAKE FESTIVAL everyone!!!!

-sherril=xuele-

Just KILL me!

OMG! OMG! OMG!!!!!!!!!

I'm going crazy soon. Nope, I'm crazy ALREADY!!!!

This Electrical Power and Machines is KILLING ME!!!!! Why I just couldn't understand it?!!

Is her notes confusing or I'm the one having problem understanding it? Because before her we were taught by Dr Mahanthy (the famous singing lecturer in UTAR who has already left UTAR). Reading and understanding his notes is not difficult.

But why I can't understand Miss Stella notes? Hmm.. I think should be my problem. I think I'm the only one facing this problem. You know what, I actually went online to google for the topic, just to make sure I really understand. I'm really insane d!

Everything's jumbled up in my mind now:
speed, torque, mechanical torque, shaft torque , slip, synchronous speed, rotor speed......etc...etc......... =_=''

I think tonight I'm gonna dream about me being transformed into an induction machine, with rotor, stator, all sorts of speeds, losses bla bla bla.....OMG I'm already half an induction machine now......

WHERE'S MY BELOVED PROFESSOR COUSIN???!!!!!!!

I'M GONNA DIE IN THIS FINALS WITHOUT YOU HERE!!!!!!

I can't imagine what will happen to me when I start to study Analogue Electronics. I think, at that time, the insanity in me will be soooo serious that I'll be sent to Tanjung Rambutan. Anyone out there willing to accompany me???

I feel so stupid to post to post but I still want to post it. Haha you can see how insane am I now. I've lost my senses I think.

范玮琪 - 一个像夏天，一个像秋天

Hi everyone! How's your revision progress going on? Mine's definitely slow but I'll speed up soon =)

Hmm, most of you should know that I'm a girl who seldom listen to Chinese songs except for Jay's songs of course. At home, 98% of the chinese songs in my TT Player playlist are Jay's songs.

However, lately I came across this song in Kuak's PSP. As stated in my title, it' is:

范玮琪 - 一个像夏天，一个像秋天

The melody is quite nice, though personally I'm not a fan of hers, I would say some of her songs are nice. Maybe you can google for some of her songs and see whether you like them or not.

Read the lyrics when you listen to this song. Maybe some of you will agree with it because I'm one of them. Here, I would like to dedicate this song to friends of mine whom I treasure a lot =) Especially my bestie babes and TOU, be sure to listen ! ^^

p/s: Sorry to people like Kevin who don't know Chinese. But still, you can listen to it if you want. If not, just ignore it.

-----------------------------------------

第一次见面看你不太顺眼
谁知道后来关系那么密切
我们一个像夏天 一个像秋天
却总能把 冬天变成了春天

你拖我离开一场爱的风雪
我背你逃出一次梦的断裂
遇见一个人后 生命全改变
原来不是 恋爱才有的情节

如果不是你 我不会相信
朋友比情人 还死心塌地
就算我忙恋爱 把你冷冻结冰
你也不会恨我 只是骂我几句

如果不是你 我不会确定
朋友比情人 更懂得倾听
我的弦外之音 我的有口无心
我离不开Darling更离不开你

你了解我所有对的东西
才常泼我冷水怕我忘记
你知道我所有丢脸的事情
却为我的美好形象冒雨

--------------------------------------

Sorry people, I know I've always been busy. Those of you who are going to UK soon like Kai Yan and JQ, it's nice meeting you all again =) Hope you all will enjoy life there while not forgetting people like me abondoned in Malaysia ^_^

Gonna go back to books now. By the way, don't ask me to add oil anymore because I'm gaining weight already! If you want, ask me to add water!!!!!

I want to flush out all those stubborn toxins in my body!!!

Gambate Gambate!
