penang, here i come again!!

I must appreciate this month/time/moment/day that I have now because it's a period which does not come often. It's the idle period. I don't have to study nor work. Basically these are what I do not have to do for the past five months or so. In addition to that, I get to go to Penang this weekend to idle more at beach, clad in bikini.

Okay, I am joking about the bikini part.

I am pretty excited as this will be one of the times we go to beaches. Usually, we would just go rot in the room or did some window-shopping in Queensbay or Gurney Plaza.

I just hope I won't drown myself.

It's too bad Crystle cannot tag along. She would have so much fun swimming in the salty water.

happy birthday, see mun!!

Someone's leaving behind her teenage years once and for all! Welcome to the two-zero club, girl!

She's a good friend of mine, one of the ones who loves the entertainment world as much as I do (well, more than I do would be more accurate).

So here I want to wish you a very Happy 20th Birthday!

See Mun, thank you for all the wonderful years of friendship and I hope you will not forget me, yeah? If you do, no more birthday wishes for you in the near future. LOL!!

Okay, I am just kidding. You cannot possibly forget a crazy friend like me, can you?

I've searched high and low, far and wide, and I noticed that this is the only picture of you that I have. Snapped way back during graduation in 2005, the picture looked a bit old but you still look the same today.

Let me present you, See Mun the birthday girl.


Don't bother about the girl on the right. She is not important. Look at the left one. She is the main point of this entry.

A note to See Mun:
Well, I hope you are reading this. I am such a good friend, right? =D

Happy Birthday once again. Have a great one! Cheers.

P/S: Sorry, couldn't buy you a cake. Will a muffin and a lighted match on top do?

the golden rule..

My joke on first April was quite lame and it was surprising that everyone fell for it. It's not so lame after all, is it? Sarah said I have not been updating like 'useless' duyun (quoted from Sarah). Duyun, if you are reading this, I didn't say you 'useless', okay? I am merely quoting. Hahaha...

I've recently acquired a book entitled, 'Mama's Rules for Livin'' written by Mamie McCullough and those 151 rules are really good. Some are funny while others are very inspirational and have definitely given me motivation to do the things that I want.

One rule which is also my favourite is:

Pain is inevitable - misery is a choice. Forgive.

People experience pain and often turn it into misery. Wouldn't that make pain more painful than it is? Misery is something that you choose to invite into your life. When someone has hurt you in any way at all like breaking your heart, the pain that you feel is inevitable and you might cry soon after. However, when you prolong the pain, it becomes misery which is something more painful than the pain you had already experienced.

The best way to prevent misery in life would be to forgive the person who has hurt you. It might not be an easy task, but it is definitely the best solution to make yourself feel so much better. Hatred will only cause more pain. Thus, misery will come when that hatred becomes more intense.

Love is such a good feeling because it is something humans grow with. To be able to forgive, you need to love. So, learn to love and not to hate, my friends.

And I am still learning too.

i am leaving for good..

After a long deliberation, I have finally decided. I am terminating this blog for good. I will give my username and password to anyone who wishes to write here. I will be very grateful if there is anyone who is willing to keep this site alive.

Some of you might be thinking, "What on earth makes me make such a sudden decision? What makes this entry pop up?"

Well, it is really simple. I know I have been missing for eight days and Duyun is missing me so, so much so here I am to tell everyone that I QUIT.

I am so uninspired therefore the best option will be shutting this place down while waiting for a new owner to come by.

ARE YOU INTERESTED?

Just call/sms/e-mail me for further information if you think you are committed enough to 'adopt' this blog.

If you have read up to this line, I suppose you still want to know whether this is for real or it is just an April Fool's joke. This is NOT a joke, I tell you. I cannot be more serious.

One final line before I terminate myself to be the owner of this blog.

The content above is entirely the imagination of all readers. Have a good first April! =D

of good friday and easter..

Update: My college life will commence on the 12th May! Another month or so to enjoy. Yay!

It was Good Friday yesterday and I loved the performances and the message. During the start of the service, everyone was given a red ribbon with some words printed on the strip. It said, 'My sins - His forgiveness'. I felt so touched. He loves me the way none others could. I tucked the ribbon safely in my IC and licence card holder before the pastor told us that we were supposed to use it later to respond.

I thought I could keep it. When the pastor explained that we were to nail the ribbon strip onto a cross, I knew this was something that I could do to tell Jesus that I am grateful for what He had done for me to cleanse me from my sins.

Tomorrow will be Easter. It's not the day when bunnies and Easter eggs are the heroes but Jesus is. So remember, Easter is to remind us about the victory of Jesus over death and not these commercialised goods just like Santa during Christmas. It's all about Jesus.

still alive..lalala..

I fell in love with this song hearing it for the first time. It does not make sense as it has crappy lyrics but the tune is so cute. I know 'cute' usually refers to something we see but I have no other words to describe this song. It is just so CUTE.

Believe me, I think you will love it too!



The funny lyrics for those who fell in love with this song as I did to sing along.

This Was A Triumph
I'm Making A Note Here:
HUGE SUCCESS
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are
Still Alive

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLAD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are
still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else
to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa. . .
THAT WAS A JOKE. HAHA FAT CHANCE.
Anyway. this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist.
Look at me still talking
When There's Science to do.
When I look out there,
it makes me GLAD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are
still alive.

And believe me I am still alive.

I'm doing Science and I'm still alive.

I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.

While you're dying I'll be still alive.

And when you're dead I will be still alive.

STILL ALIVE

STILL ALIVE

I just got crazy singing this senseless song. Actually 'Still Alive' is the credit song for a video game called Portal.

(Especially the part of the lyrics describing about a cake which is delicious and moist! That cracks me up the most! LOL!)

I want to play this game. It looks so weird and funny yet interesting. =D

make a choice, everyone??

As people grow older, things get more interesting yet confusing. I missed my childhood because life was so much simpler and less complicated.

When I was young, maybe four or five years old, it was easy to make choices of whether you want to play or sleep. Either choice I make would be harmless. If I chose to sleep, my mom would be happy because I would not be making so much noise. If I chose to play, I did not need to worry about neglecting my studies because there were no 'books' being introduced to little people during that era which was the early 90's. However, the scenario is so much different today. A child is introduced to books as early as two years old! No wonder the world today is such a tough place to live in.

I remembered my first year in kindergarten when I was six. I knew I was afraid of the new things that I had to learn. I suddenly realised that life was not revolved around my family and home. There is a place called SCHOOL where everyone needs to go. That time, I hated school. I tried to learn, but sometimes people could be a tad selfish. The people there made me hated school more. In fact, I chose to hate school.

(Of course that hatred never lasted long.)

Now I noticed that it was such a trivial thing to experience meeting selfish people who were not willing to share back then.

Fast forward to my secondary years, I grew to love books more and more and in that course of journey, again, I need to make choices.

What should I do when I grow up?

Should I go for a movie when there is an exam tomorrow?

Should I tell her that it's not the right thing to do?

And a lot more other questions which forced me to make a decision.

I think I should. Maybe I should not.

In the end, I did make the right choice. However, it did not always go the way I wanted.

Today, the choices that I make cannot be taken lightly. I know if I do make the the wrong choice, it is most unlikely that I will be able to turn back. If you made a mistake in your decision when you were six, you always have your parents to patch things up for you. But when you are twenty, it's time for you to clean up the mess that you made. You are responsible for your own act.

Sounds horrifying? The truth is not always as sweet as candy. Quoted from a friend, "Make not the right decision but make the decision right."

And that is what I am going to do right now.

P/S: Thank you so much for your opinion, uncle. But I want to pursue my dream. I will not mess it up as you think I would.

the beginning of my life after this..

There is nothing for me to wait for since the result is out. It's not the time to continue my 'mushroom project' any longer because I don't need it. All I need to do now is to fill up forms and start photo-copying some documents for scholarship application purposes.

My very first semester in college will start next month. A place where I need to wear a uniform. I love uniform. I feel smart wearing it even if I do not have a single idea of what is in store for me.

I guess I will post a lot about my college life next month. Don't get bored reading them okay? I will try to make them look interesting.

:o)

I have so much on my mind yet I can only say this:

Praise the Lord for everything He has given me.

Too happy to blog about anything right now. =P

the twelve hours before..

Twelve more hours to go and I do not know what I am expecting. I do not expect anything because I do not know what I expect to see on the result slip. Okay, this does not seem to make sense. My senses have been knocked out of me by some unknown force which I desperately try to pull myself away from.

To all my friends who are having marathon hearts right now, just believe in yourself and do not PANIC! Everything will be over after noon tomorrow. Over. Period.

a whole new world..

This is so amazing. How can someone sing a duet all by himself?

an evening in the park..

So many evening walks, so many days, yet, it was only yesterday that I thought about snapping a photo of us taking the weirdoG out in the park.

Crystle enjoyed herself. So did we.


Cheese!

Crys is always not paying attention to the camera. She got tired of the annoying lens after so many forced-photos taken earlier. LOL!

Eunice pulled her ears, gently whispered to her, 'You better listen well and be a good girl or else, you won't be able to listen anymore. Hahaha...!!'

Crystle then forced a smile because she wants to listen to more music and don't want to lose her ears. =D

Another shot:


Smile or say goodbye to your throat!

Again, she's forced to be happy in the photo.

P/S: I didn't kill Crystle. She is still alive and looking forward to the next evening walk. I hope I won't be meeting perverted male dogs which will attempt to rape her. The last time it happened, I had to run for her life!

my first 29th february post..

I was thinking about updating a few days later but since it's the 29th, a date which comes only four years once, I will write a post today whether I have inspiration or not.

I started this blog in October 2004, which was also a leap year but I already missed the 29th February in that year. So, this will be my first entry on this rare day. =D

One In A Million final will be aired tonight. Sadly, I have to watch the recorded version for the beginning of the show since I will be having the tutorial class tonight. I want Ayu to win! To me, celebrities who participate in reality talent shows are peoplw with thick skins. Stealing the limelight from the rookies when they already have their share of fame. What a disgrace to themselves!

It's not my business anyway to care about who has thick skins and who does not.

So that's all for today, I guess. =)

UPDATE:
Ayu won! Yay!

would you be there?

Here's one beautiful song by Redwan Ali.

Would You Be There. Enjoy!



It's also the closing song for the series 幸福双人床 (Mars Vs. Venus) currently aired on AEC every Monday to Friday at 7 pm.

rain oh rain..

The rain finally revisits Ipoh after so many days. I miss the cool and moist air.

Dear Rain,
Come and stay with us for a longer period of time. I've sung so many times in hopes that you will come after my singing but you never did. Now, you finally came. I am so glad. =D

the true value of a pencil..

Although mechanical pencils are invented many years ago, some things just do not change.

Kids nowadays are supposed to be tech-savvy but there are just some that still cling onto the old tradition. For example:


Using a pencil till it's that short.

It's remarkable, isn't it? I don't think I can use a pencil until it's that length. I remember throwing pencils away when they were still quite long, probably double that length.


I feel even more ashamed when I look at this one.

If I were to be that particular pencil, I would be very proud. My task to stain the paper/change thoughts into written form is well achieved.


I can hold the pencil in no other way.

As long as the lead is still in existence, the pencil is not useless. I respect kids who know the true value of a pencil.

***

I thought Johnny Depp would get the Oscar for his leading role in Sweeney Todd. But then and again, there were really tough competitors in that category. At least the movie won an Oscar for the Best Art Direction. =D

village of the damned..

This is one of my favourite horror flicks which I remembered watching many, many years ago. I actually wanted to watch it again a few years back but I just couldn't remember the title. All I remember was, there were several children who had psychic powers to control humans using their eyes.

Click here for the synopsis.

Until two days ago, I saw the movie on Cinemax. The title was Village Of The Damned and not The Eyes. I thought the title had something to do with the eyes. See how poor my memory is?

Snapshots from the movie.


This is the cover of the CD I think. Looks so scary.


A bunch of white-headed kids with eyes powerful enough to kill.


The angrier they get, the redder their eyes would be.

Village Of The Damned (1995) was actually a remake of the original film in 1960.

For those of you who want to watch it, the repeat will be on:
25th February: 2-4 pm (Cinemax)
26th February (final repeat): 12-2 am (Cinemax)

I think I prefer watching it on the 25th. =)

two worlds apart..

Once upon a time, there lived a prince high up behind thick walls. He was somewhat beautiful and precious to his royal family. However, he was never happy. How can anyone be happy living trapped all his life? Mr. Prince longed for his true love to set him free.

'I'm not Rapunzel. Why am I locked up the same way?'

Days became weeks and weeks became months. His true love never came. But fate is a funny thing.

After several years trapped in his lonely 'cell', the maid finally took him out to have a taste of Mother Nature. That was the very first time he felt joy in his heart. Then, he saw her. Right at the other end of the field, she stood there watching him silently. They ran towards each other but not for long, they were separated again. Mr. Prince thought he found his true love but why stop him right then? He thought he was happy being a free being. He thought that the happiness would stay when he met his true love.

'I'm so happy that I am no longer a prisoner! I am also a prince in love. What more can I ask?'

He was wrong though. So, so wrong. The next moment he knew, he was back in his 'cell'.


Help! Free me!

And you know who his true love is? Well, sort of.

She even drew a mole on her face to be more attractive since the eyebrow was not enough to unleash her outward beauty.


I want to find Mr. Prince!

Crystle, forget him. He won't remember you anyway. Especially when he knows you are neutered.

mini sausage buns..

I forgot how long it has been since I've eaten a sausage bun which is so cute and tiny like this.


MINI SAUSAGE BUN!

This is the front view of the bread.

Just look how tiny it is. The sausage within is quartered and cut to the length of the bread.


The back view of the bread

Unlike the bread of the normal size, this mini sausage bun is way easier to eat. Firstly, you do not need to open your mouth too wide to bite the bread. You just need to pop it into your mouth and munch away!

Secondly, it contains less calories. This is a very good meal especially for girls who wish to go on diet. You see, smaller portion of bread means less carbohydrate. Less carbohydrate means less calories, no? =D


I've eaten one. TWO MORE TO GO!!

In future, I will choose mini buns over non-mini ones.

P/S: Everything is getting smaller. Phones, digital cameras, etc. But the idiot box is getting larger and larger.

i met jolin!

A couple of photos to tell all of you that I am still alive in spite of eating so much.

Anyway, I took a picture with Jolin!! Everyone knows her! She is famous, no? I tell you she's so darn cute and pretty.

Let me present you, Jolin Tsai






























's fan!

Okay, it's only her fan but she is still cute, right?


She loves posing for the camera.See how happy she is in front of the screen.

P/S: I didn't notice my hair is that long until I saw this picture.
