the truth of life is that everything changes, everything changes in time, no denying

but even though things changes, memories remain forever...

BUDDY CAMP 2008 WAS AMAZING!!! KEAN LEE!!! YOU REALLY MISSED OUT A LOT!!!

although we had to become vegetarians for four days (even had vegetarian maggi for supper)...
had to walk a mile (it seems a mile when it's 1am and you're 100 times lazier) to the bathroom...
had to go to bed sweaty some times because it was too late (too lazy) to bath...
had to wear some old clothes twice because they weren't enough...

BUT

IT WAS SO MUCH FUUUUNNNN!!! the programs and activities rocked, and the people were the BEST!!! (we chatted online after the camp...got invited by 10 people in one night, muahaha)

sob...miss them lots...

Severely depressed

WAAAH!!! I just read Naruto chapter 424 and am now severely depressed.

Those who know me and reads Naruto know why laa..

Really...I mean...it might seem a little weird to be this obsessed about an anime character, but really. I guess you can equate it to being obsessed about a celebrity, the person might be real, but you'll never know the real person behind all the celebrity status and good looks. The guy I like isn't real, but I do know his character, values, personality and all.

I guess no one can really understand besides people who have fallen for anime characters as well...

And bimbos had an outing and i couldn't make it...that pretty much added to the depression...what to do...my club leader wanna go suddenly...aihz...so sad so sad...

kk lah...nothing much to talk edi...

don't resent me and when you're feeling empty keep me in your memory , leave out all the rest

Sony Cybershot Skinny T DSC-T77...drool

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!! I'VE GOT A NEEEEWWW CAMEEERAAAA!!!! TADAAAA!!!!! *no picture available sorry...* but this is the model:

http://a.img-dpreview.com/news/0808/Sony/T77_Colors.jpg

I got the pink one.

Well yeah...I know...PINK!?!?!

butbutbut...it kinda looks purple...cuz there's a purple design skin on it...so it looks more purplish than pink.

Still can't believe I own a camera. A super-fancy camera, that is. Hohoho...still feel SO FREAKING DAMN LUCKY!!

Oh wait, I forgot to mention, won it by entering my graffiti skin design to the competition held in conjunction with the launch of the Sony Cybershot Skinny T DSC-T77...so got consolation...YAY!!

I still feel real lucky, cuz on the day when I was supposed to hand in the entry, fuyoh...that day was really 'sui' man...

So I was supposed to hand in the entry on Thursday, by 10 pm. I finished the design on Tuesday after staying back in college, but didn't really want to print it then since I wanted to touch up a bit at home. Since the next day was a public holiday, I went to ask the printing shop people whether they opened on that day. They said they didn't. So I asked them what time the opened on Thursday, since all I needed to do was to print it. 'Sap sap sui' only right...They said they opened by 9.

OK!!...NO PROBELEMO...got an hour to print...more than enough time...laaa...

Wednesday: Relax...

Thursday, 9.00 am: I went to the printing shop there, to ask whether I could print. They said go ahead.

Whoops...forgot to mention...'Kak, nak print A3'...

'A3?? A3 printer rosak laa...'

Me: *holy crappy shittimoly...*HAH?

Kak: Ye...tak tau lah...kena tunggu bos datang...tengok boleh tak...

Me: Bila bos datang?

Kak: Erm...kira pukul 10 macam tu lah...

Me: *holllllyyyyy*Oh. Ada tak shop lain boleh print?

Kak: Er...ada...kat public bank sana...dia punya signboard ada tu punya 'doubleA' punya sign...

Me: Oh...k lah...tengoklah nanti...datang jumpa bos nanti.

So I went crying to the lec explaining my circumstances. Well not crying lah...more like 'aiyayayayayaya!!! what to dooooo?!?!'

Lec (Queenie): Ooo... ask them to print in bigger size, then cut them up in A3 size then... If you can't, you can send in later, but latest by TODAY. Oki?

Me: *goes running to the printing shop again, only to have the Kak say to me that she doesn't know how to operate the bigger printers, since the boss usually operates them...*

Then I met up with Siau Wei, and we went to ask this other shop whether they could. They said yup, but our eyes went O.O when we found out the price was 5 ringgit apiece...the other shop only selling for 2 ringgit... So we decided to wait till the boss arrived, take our chances, since we had to hand it in by the end of the day.

Then while Siau Wei went to buy CD, I tried out the printing shop again to see if the boss arrived yet. Kat was there as well, so might as well wait with her. Ngam ngam while walking up the steps, the boss was right behind.

Me: Eh, can print A3?? *puppy eyes*

Low Pan: A3 arh... See first whether printer working or not...

*Switches on his Mac, did a few clicking around*

Low Pan: Come...bring your pen drive...

Me: *blurrrr* (too kan-cheong liaoz)

Then when I got what he meant, Kat swoops in and hands him her thumb-drive.

Me: *grrr* (next time must be more kiasu)

So Kat's printed out nicely, colour abit off, but who cares at a moment like this?

Then when my turn came...

BLOODY MOTHER FATHER BROTHER SISTER PAPER GOT STUCK!?!?!

Sui.

So me and Siau Wei were out of options (there were other classmates who entered as well, but they were still doing theirs) we went to the extremely expensive printing shop that sold A3 printing 2 1/2 times that of the other shop.

Only to be told that the printer was our of order. Technician now working on it, it'll be done by 'tengahari'.

...Are the dark planets and moons in those 'once-in-444 years' positions in outer space?

What now?

Well...I ate.



...WHILE thinking of Plan J. By then it was time for Marketing Management, so I went. Lalala... then thought of trying out the 'doubleA' signboard shop during break.

Break was 40 minutes long, my food took 25 minutes to come, 5 minutes to eat. hehe... Then decided the shop was too far to take my chances, and made the last minute decision to print on A4 and paste in on A3 size papers. So I printed them at last, but ended up late for Marketing.

Then later when I finally handed them in, I found out later in Art&Design Fundamentals that... my design in jpeg format was in the wrong size.

WHAAAAT!?! I reached a critical point there, whether to let it go and don't care about it anymore, or to go all out to correct it. Well, I've come this far, might as well go all out.

So I went to tarik balik the entries (handed in two) and replaced the file with the proper adjustments.

Handed it back. Now it's done. Over.

Days later I got an sms telling me to send in an Adobe Illustrator CS2 version of the design through email. Well I did that, thinking that well, must have some problems with my jpeg, maybe they wanted to take a closer look or something.

Then later at sculpture my lec told me and my classmate we were shortlisted.

Cool.

Days later at Marketing I got a call, saying I won a prize.

Super cool.

Then I checked later, found out it was the new camera.

UBER COOL.




so yeah. got a new camera. yipee...but can't help feeling that all the fanciness was wasted on a girl-who-does-not-appreciate-fanciness like me.

Owh, and we were to receive the prize at the launching, and there were this bunch of people lining up. Found out the were lining up to buy the camera. Early birds get it cheap, From 8 ringgit to 888 ringgit. They've been lining up since Thursday. Wow. Gee, I wonder what's it like. My mom said those people prob have no jobs. I'm busy figuring out how they went to the bathroom. And they prob didn't bath for 3 days. Ew.

But yay...didn't have to line up, yet got it for freeeeee... me love freeeeeee... was told the market price was RM1298...or sumthing

YAY! over and outta here!

LOOK OUT! It's spiderman...

found this on youtube...

Staring blankly ahead, just making my way through the crowd...

I read Kenny Sia's blog the other day about the Ahmad Ismail issue, so far-nee...lol

YES!!! I just handed in my !@#$%^&* (times 100) marketing management assignment, and now it's DONE!!!

Bravo. (aiyah...it's just 10% assesment only...no biggie) BUT 10% can make A LOT OF DIFFERENCE when you're a lousy study person like me. That's why I can't count on exams to boost up my marks. And I really really want that 'A'. Okok...'A' in marketing is a bit like saying 'I want to train my dog to be able to do doggy-stunts like stand up on her hind legs and shake hands and run in circles when I tell her to'...all talk, no action.

Ok...there IS an itsy bitsy teeny weeny bit of action...just...not enough. I KNOW I'm more capable than what I'm currently able to do, just that I'm so bloody lazy, that's all.

But seriously, I'm aiming for either 'A' or at least a 'B+' in ALL my subjects, because I know I can, and also because I'm turning a bit kiasu lah. I don't want to have a lesser result when I KNOW I should be able to do better.

And I just realised that I've spelt Northern wrongly (I spelt Northen). I was reading the main title and thought that the spelling 'Northen' looked...weird. After 594674169794364 times of reading it, I just realised it NOW. Greats. This just shows how much I really pay attention. And how much I suck at spelling. Bleeeh...

Ah k, have to go and search for examples of graffiti. Have to show Ms Queenie the design on MONDAY!!. Deng. La.

TaTa.

ENOUGH!!!

...I'm really sick of this. Day by day, month by month, I look at the papers and read about some politician dissing some other politician, parties dissing other parties and the all too familiar news about corruption.

Then there's that comment from Ahmad Ismail labelling Chinese as immigrants.

WTF?!?!

Hell, mister, THIS IS OUR COUNTRY AS MUCH AS IT IS YOURS.

We fought the same fight for independence your people did 51 years ago.

It's sickening to think that after 51 years of independence, and 100++ years of living together we still cannot get along.

FOR GOD'S SAKE, RACE IS NOTHING BUT SKIN COLOR!!!

It's crazy to think that we are being categorized as Malay, Chinese, Indian, etc etc., when we are all citizens of EARTH, and countries are just lands with borders. Every citizen of Earth should have the same rights, whether they are Malay, Chinese, Indian, American, African, etc etc.

GROW UP PEOPLE!!! Start to realise that we are all the same, and thus should be treated with equal rights. Forget schools that educate only Malays, Chinese, Indian or wtv, and only have school that educates EVERYONE TOGETHER. If you want to learn your mother tongue, take a language course or something. Of course, there are 'Sekolah Kebangsaan's that educate all, but there still are Chinese and Tamil schools that just promote racial segregation, even though it's unintentional. After all, the reason the British introduced the concept of separate schools for different races was to avoid the people from uniting against them. So since their rule is over, why are those school still there? It's also a big hassle, since those from Chinese and Tamil schools have a hard time if they are not used to Bahasa Malaysia (or is it Bahasa Melayu now?) as the language has poor emphasize in such schools.

Forget any race-basis rules, whether in work, school or anywhere else.

But seriously, when are people going to grow up and realise that we are all the same, even though our ancestor's country of origin isn't Malaysia. But most of us now were born here, raised and brought up with nasi lemak and rendang and roti canais.

In all honesty, I love Malaysia. I was born here. I was raised here. I grew up here. And even though I aspire to travel around the world and live somewhere else, Malaysia will always be my home. So it pains me when the country I love so much is being divided by such an insignificant matter. When will people realise that race is just a skin colour? A Chinese born in the US could be a banana, not understanding a word of chinese and prefers cheeseburgers over noodle soup. An English could be born in Malaysia, and grow up loving durians and prefers nasi lemak ayam over lamb chop. We're all the same, so why are we divided by something that we are born with and have no choice over? We can't decide our race...it's our heritage, passed down from mother to child.

I realise that racism is created, not born with. Babies aren't racist. To them, every other person they see is just as different as the other. They don't judge people by skin colour. Take a good look at kindergartens and day care centres and you'll see all the children playing together, unbiased by race. It's only as we grow older that influences from racial political parties and racist parents that we become racist ourselves. If we take away those, and treat everyone equally, no one will be racist, because there is nothing to fight about.

Forget special rights, those should only be reserved for people with disabilities like OKU, and even they work hard to get to the top.

If you want to get to the top, work your ass off for it, just like everyone else. Don't depend on special rights that existed just because your ancestors arrived in Tanah Melayu before ours did. This isn't just your land...IT'S OURS. For what it's worth, our ancestors time is OVER. Geddit? OVER. It's time to stop living off the past and start working together towards the future. When Malaysia was formed, Chinese and Indians (as well as other races) were already long settled in Tanah Melayu, and we reserved the right to be called MALAYSIANS, not immigrants.

So please, stop bullshitting about this race stuff. Stop it. Enough. We're all Malaysians. Let's work together to build a brighter future for Malaysia and our children. United we stand, divided we fall.

This isn't directed at all Malays, just the racist ones, like Ahmad. And not only that, but people from other races as well, who seem to think that it's alright to insult other races. It's not. And I say that because I know that Malays are also being racially verbally abused by non-Malays. So to racists, STFU or get the hell outta my country.

And finally, I read from Dr. M's web that when a Malay leader made a racist remark, he is expected to apologize, but when people from other races made racist remarks, like the 'Negarakuku' guy, the leaders are not expected to apologize.

Tun, I have great respect from you, but pleeeeaaase lah, the 'Negarakuku' guy wasn't a LEADER. He was just some guy who wanted to get a lil youtube attention. But Ahmad Ismail was a party LEADER, and for such a man who is supposed to set an example to other people, it's wrong to say such remarks. How can Malaysia be in harmony when it's leaders are racist? It's sickening to think that a leader in a country full of various races could made a disgusting remark like that. How can he set a good example?

As a last note, everyone in Malaysia, regardless whether you're Malay or Chinese or wtv...stop being racists and work together to build Malaysia. Other countries already view us as a country with racial disharmony, wouldn't you like nothing better than to prove them wrong? That just because THEY can't solve their racial crisis, doesn't mean that we can't?

And if any of my comments offend, I'm sorry, but they are not meant to offend. Crap, I just remembered about ISA...hoho, I hope I don't get into trouble...

I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted

Laaa, went outing on 31 August, actually wrote a blog on that but I was dumb and closed the window when my mom took over the comp. I forgot that I was still writing on it, haihz...all the ramblings are now gone.

But anyway, it was Quinton's bday celebration, so the outing was a bimbo+Quinton+Tiam Loong event at 1u. I (and the rest of the gang) were kinda looking forward to seeing the rest of the 5 Ang gang but in the end only bimbos could make it. Aih, nevermind, bimbos can make my day anytime...

We ate at Pizza Hut since HL got addicted to their cheese flakes after last week's outing. Haha, no complains there, cheese flakes are heaven. Then chatted a lot about random stuff (as always). Thing about bimbos is...there is never one of those quiet awkward moments where everyone just sits on the table wondering what to talk about. There's always someone that will start come random topic that will launch a hyper convo. Haha, then HL suddenly went 'hey kenny watch this' and dipped her lips into a spoonful of cheese flakes so that she got a cheesy moustache!! Lol...haha...then she talked me into doing it so I did it as well (the audience was bigger though, because everyone at the table was watching me after hearing me laugh at HL). We asked LA to do it too, but before we could get a good look she go hide her face pulak...sportingnya...

So after draining Pizza Hut of Pepsi and cheese flakes, we headed for the cinemas. Q was really kind treating us tickets to watch Babylon AD, but gotta say lor...the movie was kind of bleeeeeh. The action scenes were pretty cool, typical people with machine guns shooting at other people, people kicking other people's ass (Michelle Yeoh really kicked ass man...)and people dying here and there, as well as a [Vin Diesel*MAN BOOBS!!!* on snowbike with a gun] vs [plane with lots of firepower and bazookas shooting at him (think his char's name is thoorop)] scene. It ended with Thoorop winning of course, by shooting at the plane's bombs and exploding it. Really unrealistic, if you ask me, but then again...it is an action movie.

But pretty cool action scenes aside (incomparable to The Dark Knight though), the movie makes no sense. Seriously. The first thing that I thought after the movie ended was 'WTF???'. I get the whole save the girl who has some special power thingy about her, but I don't get what IS she. (owh wait, I just read on wiki that she's carrying twins that have the potential to be Messiahs, wow...reading a 60-word passage on the movie's premise told me more than watching the whole freakin movie...NOW I get it). Call me slow, but I like it when things are explained to me in movies, because unlike books or DVDs, I can't refer back to a scene and try to make sense of it. Hancock was better than this. Not many action sequences, but a least it made sense.

Then after that, the guys went to play pool while the gals sat at the coffetable and chatted. Later then we split up and bimbos-abi (who chao-ed so fast, just say bye then poof! chao edi. Big difference from last week's outing where we spent probably half-an-hour saying goodbye, haha)...went outside and hanged out. Took a look at a photography pameran inside for abit, then went to watch Wall-E *droolssss* Lol, in the cinema I heard this sound like *brrapp* and I looked at the direction of the sound and saw a guy sitting beside HL putting his ass back onto the chair. So obviously the first thing that came to my mind was that that guy farted. Then I looked at HL to tell her and saw her staring at me with the 'look', and we burst out laughing. Haha, let this be a lesson to people, farting in the cinema is not as oblivious as you might think. Anyway, Wall-E was really really good, it was just the right mix of humour, cuteness, robot romance and 'awww'ness. Even though the robots practically didn't have a vocabulary of more than 10 words, you can really feel the emotions as well as watching any other actor. Wall-E was SOOOO CUTE, felt like hugging him *awwwwww*

nyahnyahnyah...

Prom...

was aweshum...

of course, I've never been to a prom before, but it's awesome as far as first-time experience goes. Arashi, Kat and I shared a table with a few lecturers and staff, in this secluded spot at the side, but ok lah...lousy spot for pic taking, but can see the show quite well...took a few pictures, but only at my table, because my mom's camera kept displaying the 'low battery' logo thingy, so not much pictures of the prom, just the bunch of us cam-whoring...heehee...

then later Arashi and I went jalan-jalan around The Curve (the prom was at Royal Bintang) and spotted our lecturers and staff who disappeared during the last quarter of the night (halfway during dancing time~). Turns out they all cabut to have an after party on their own. We wanted to take a picture of them (bribe them to give us an A), but it was too dark. Arashi took me to this club where the after-party was supposedly held, but the cigarette smell oozing out of the club made me choke, so we chao-ed. It was too packed anyway. So we went to 'The Apartment' to have a drink, I had Sprite (RM9.90 for this lil small bottle!!!) and ate some chocalates. So...minum minum then we went home cuz I told my dad I'll be home at 12 and wanted to keep that promise...or he'll ground me for life!!! Hehe, then I reached home and my cute doggy Ren was waiting for me <3 laaaa... Yeah right, immediately after greeting me at the front gate she rushed to the door and waited there looking at me, as if saying 'Where were you!?! I was waiting all night for you to open this door to let me in!!'

sigh...my dog has no respect for me...I'm her slaaaaave....


owh...there's something else to blog about today...there was this cervical cancer awareness campaign (don't cringe!) and I was the 'lucky' girl chosen to represent age group of 18 to receive a free vaccine. My mom was so cunning...she told me about how expensive it is and how this free vaccine macam once-in-a-lifetime chance, so I decided what the heck, might as well right?

She left out the part where I was to be jabbed in front of everyone present at the campaign, and that there will be media present.

...

I only found out this morning, while wearing this crumpled t-shirt. She was commenting how creased up it looks and I was wondering why she cared so much...then she told me that there will be press there.

What. The. Heck.

What fun, having cameras taking pictures of me getting jabbed.

Turns out I was one among four people to receive this free vaccine (normal rate RM1000+, subsidized RM900+)so it was kinda a big deal.

Very dangerous to have a mother like mine...knows that I'll probably skip if getting jabbed in front of loads of people...so senyap senyap cut out the details...

The jab was alright, felt a lil pinch but after it was okay...my hand felt kinda weak afterwards though, reminded me of BCG (brrrrr....)

Ish, then later when my dad was sending my mom and I home, I noticed that he didn't lock the car door after reaching home, so I said 'car door didn't lock ar?', and he turned around and gave me this pissed off look and said 'didn't lock then lock lah!'

Then my mom helped lock the door, since my dad already walked in a bit and she was near the car, and she noticed my black aura and pissed look and me whispering 'just say that you didn't lock the door also wanna scold...' and gestured at me to cool down and let it go. Ish......luckily my mom was there, or I'll probably have the aura hanging around for much longer...

My dad was probably a bit moody cuz it was my grandfather's death anniversary, so he was busy preparing everything since my mom and I were at the cervical cancer campaign at the DJROA centre, so he had to do everything alone, so it's excusable...but not a reason either.

Ish......


I shall go regain my happy aura by reading D-Gray Man.

Chiao

Fighting...to break free...

The mood I'm in right now can be summed up in two words: F***ing Pissed.

Here's the situation:
My friend Arashi and I planned to have a sleepover the night before Prom.

Purpose: So that we can prepare for prom together. You see, I'm not a very 'prom' person, and therefore is not used dressing myself up. And having no experience in this sort of matter, I thought that it would be a good idea to have a friend with me while I prepare so that at least I can get help with make-up and stuff and dress. Plus, sleepovers are great fun.

So I pitched this idea to my dad. Here's the conversation:
Me: Dad ah, can I have a sleepover at my friend's house? On Thursday?

The master of all universe: Thursday? Where? Which friend?

Me: The friend staying at Taman Melawati there...Arashi.

The My-Word-Is-Law guy: (In my-word-is-law tone) Why? no lah...

Me: Cuz...

[interrupted]
I-am-dad-and-what-I-say-goes man: NO.

Inner me: WAT??? WHY??? WTF? You haven't even listened to my reasoning and suddenly said No?!?! What's up with that?!?!


What would you have felt?

I really lost the 'prom' mood. It just got zapped off my mind by that Almighty 'NO'. the reason that I wanted to go to the prom was to have fun with my friends. And what's wrong with getting started on that fun early by having a sleepover.

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been avoiding him whole time since that conversation. Not to merajuk, just didn't feel like being in close proximity with him. I'm afraid I might just suddenly lash out and hurt him physically.

Even now, after 18 years, I'm still under his control.

My sister had friends sleepover at my house when she was my age, why can't I have the same? He didn't even give me a chance to explain why. Why? Because what he says is law? And I can't change that?

I will, believe me, someday I will.

I will break free.

Random-ness that crops up from an unwanted boredom

Haha...just realized that I've been abandoning my blog.

I should really blog more often, at least then I can reread my blog when I'm bored.

That's how saaad I am, that I read my own blog when I'm bored.

Nolah, I don't really read my own blog...just blog-hop around...looking for ex-DJian's blog...see what they're up to at the moment and stuff.

Yeah.

I'm such a sad, sad person.

Hey come on...what's so sad about wanting to know about the whereabouts of the people that you've known for 5 years (+/-, considering primary school or transfers).

So yeah!

Aiyoh...frankly I'm super bored lah...gila sien...

OWH OWH OWH!!! PEOPLE READING THIS!!! WATCH THE DARK KNIGHT!!!
SERIOUSLEEEEEEEEEEY...I have never been more serious about being serious.

It is...in the words of JC (college friend) 'can say sama taraf or better than Transformers'

I agree. And I LOVED Transformers (CGI HAVEN).

So PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. I'm begging you with puppy eyes. Watch The Dark Knight.

Christian Bale is SMOKING HOT...

Hahahah, even Kean Lee admitted it, roflmao.

And Heath Ledger had never shown better performance. RIP.

And Two-Face really scary.


BUT

Here it comes...[SPOILER ALERT!!]

I sangat tak puas with the ending...I know it makes Batman lagi awesome than he already is...but...for those who watched it you know lah why I tak puas. IT'S NOT FAIR!!! NOT FAIR AT ALL!!!

I hope the make another Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale Batman movie...with a story of how Batman regains the people's faith and trust in him.

I can't get enough of them...Christopher is a genius.

And I am soooo totally in love with Batman right now...not Christian Bale (maybe a lil?) but with Batman/Bruce Wayne himself. Maybe it's just a phase, but Batman/Bruce Wayne is an awesome character. Haha.

KKies, gotta go listen to some songs and watch a lil olympics.

Owh btw, Beijing Olympics Opening was AH-MAY-ZIIING!!! China really outdid themselves...from the fireworks to the performances to the energy of those performing, you could really feel that China put 150% effort in this, and it was worth it...if you missed it I feel so sorry for you.

Wonder if Malaysia could ever pull off a similar stunt. From the looks of it, I doubt it. Not that I don't believe in my country or anything, I just don't believe the politicians will keep their hands off it. Probably use it to spread some propaganda crap. Those power-crazy kiasu idiots probably will make a mess out of it. Being really emo when talking about politicians...and who can blame me?

KK, better ciao...

Of Prom Dresses and Snakes

Went to One Utama yesterday to search for a dress with Arashi and Katherine. While ronda-ing we came across the MINI reptile exhibition in front of Waffle World and since a girl was holding a snake, we decided to check it out (even though I went past that exhibition for tens of times) and one of the girls there was selling tickets to the real exhibition (RM5 per person...as sold at the booth). So since we really had nothing to do we decided to check it out. Lol...we stayed there for probably two hours. Supposed to be looking for a dress, go tengok ular pulak... But it was great fun. One of the guys took out a small ball python for us to play with. It was soooo cool, really nice to hold and really cute. I held a python before, but this was my first holding it for a while...

So we chatted with the abang there for quite a while...he told us more about the snakes, how he got them and their characteristics and stuff. He fed the ball python a small mouse to show us first hand how it ate. He even let me play with a baby albino snake, forgot what species it was though, but it was really cute. Was pretty freaked holding it though, because it was really small and fast, and I was afraid that I will hold it too tightly or loosely, haha.

All in all, it was really an amazing experience...my passion for snakes sorta went through the roof after that. SNAKES ARE AWESOME!!! Still, I'm not as obsessed until I will live with them or whatever, but I really really like snakes, and I know better than to handle one without first confirming its species. But still, it was really cool. Sad though, it will only be here until the end of July, so I wouldn't really get a chance to play with the python anymore...*sniff*

Dang, wish I could post pictures up here, but I don't have the cable to connect my phone to the computer...aihz...

But if anyone has a chance to go there, please do so...it's really nice. Ask the guys there to being a snake out for you to hold...(ball python...they're nice...)

That's it for now, tata!
(PS: I got my dress!!)

To A Friend...

To a very great friend...

One that, by fate, got stuck with me for 5 years in DJ,

And though her evilness has caused some disfunction in my psychology in later years,

And invisible bruises to my very fragile ribs,

And her short jokes has trampled my ego,


But her never-ending tales of fantasy,

And countless role-playing games,

And jokes that make your sides ache,

And companionship (face-to-face or msn) has kept me away from the shores of boredom,

And imagination which knows no boundaries nor logic that keeps me away from harsh realities of life,

And best of all; friendship,

Has made me grateful for the last five years...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUI LENG!!!


(Hui Leng if you find this cheesy...I hope you don't kill me *big puppy eyes*)

HO-HO-HOLIDAYS

It's the HOLIDAAAAAAAYS lolz

ARGH, but what 'wonderful' timing (vision it with a super sarcastic british accent), just when im starting my holidays, the rest of the bimbo gang are getting reading to start college/school. So...I have pretty much nothing to do until next week when Kean Lee finishes his exams. Darn it... And yeah, gotta make Kean Lee the priority here because the movie that was planned to be watch next is...WANTED. The trailer looks really really awesome and I can't wait to see Angelina Jolie in gun-action. Hooray!

July has so many nice movies coming out...out of them the ones that I want to watch most would be...The Dark Knight and Hancock. Wohooouuu...hooray for superhero movies!!! I think the Dark Knight would be so cool, judging from its trailer. YAY! And Heath Ledger's Joker looks down right evil. Might give me nightmares...

Well, well, now for assignment update. I'm done with most of my assignments and finals. Advertising Exam, Final Presentation (topic on human disasters, my group and i did on Sampoong Department Store collapse), Final Drawing (Batman Begins poster)are done and over with. All that's left is a line portrait of Angelina Jolie. Yay!

That's about it...I don't really know what I'm going to do with two weeks of holidays, with everyone busy with college/school work I don't think outings are possible, but I'll give it a try.

I have lots of time to try anyway.

Laa...

Oh yeah...again, I'm severely hurt that 14 people voted me the root of all evil. (Hui Leng confessed to being resposible for a considerable amount of those votes) WHYYYYY!?!?!?!? I'm so good and kind and innocent and helpful and nice and lovely and chun-tastic and...humble...*puppy eyes*

Just so you know, I voted for Barney. He gives me nightmares. Well, 'gave' me nightmares. Grrr...

BUT WHY!?!?!?! WHY ME?!?!?! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!?!?! *breaks down and cries uncontrollably*

You will pay for your crimes. Rawr!

bla~

Random Quote: Male cheerleaders have more balls than other guys,
...and you don't need boobs or PMS to cheer.

ahhhhhhh...

GOODNESS...SO MANY FREAKING ASSIGNMENTS....

I now know why it's called ASSignments...it's a real pain in the first-three-letters-of-the-word.

Geramlah...so much stuff to do, and I can't even think of going outings or wtv.

Btw, got my Nokia 2630 back today, don't know whether the repairs help.

Sigh.

And what lar you people...who voted me as the root of all evil ar??

Hui Leng..you voted 4 times issit...

Hmph...dun wanna friend you people edi...make sure I don't find a way to track the voters...or else you guys will kena my wrath.

Niway, I'm feeling a kinda rushed and busy now, so I'm basically using Manglish, and not proper ~English~.

Owh, yeah, I'm an IACT Student Ambassador probate...so...good lor...

Over and out~

meeting a long lost friend

OMG!!!

When I went downstairs to my college foyer to check out the food that are being sold by the Student Council, I met the one of the people that I LEAST EXPECT!!!

ALVINA!!! OMGOMGOMG!!!

She was from my primary school (SKDJ) and was one of my bestest friends. After primary, I heard she went to Tropicana while I went to SMKDJ, and I sort of lost touch with her. OMG I so totally did not expect to see her!!! AHHHHH I'm SOSOSOSOSO happy, it just sorta proves kalau orang ada jodoh, tentu akan bertemu lagi. My gosh, she told me that she saw me a few times already, but I didn't say 'hi' or anything, so she didn't know whether I was really me or someone that looks like me. Haha, then she came up to me and said 'Hey, are you Ken Hui?' And that was when I looked at her and my brain just went 'OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGAHHHHHHH' and my mouth opened so big you could fit a car into it. 'ALVINA?!?!' I was so surprised to see her. There were so many times when I wondered where she was and where could she be, and now she's in my very college!!

And it so totally made my day, I can't wait to meet up and chat and catch up on things...

So for now, Tata!

Movies that I've watched in 2008

OKAY...this is just for my own use only...to keep track of what movies I watched in what sequence. Don't ask why, I just like keeping lists of stuff.

2008
Jumper (February)
The Spiderwick Chronicles (February)
The Water Horse (March)
Nim's Island (April)
Indiana Jones (May)
Kung Fu Panda (June)
Hancock (July)
The Dark Knight (July)
Babylon AD (August)
Wall-E (August)

I think that's it so far...
Seems that I only watch one movie per month...but then again...my monthly allowance wouldn't be enough to cover more than one outing per month

BTW, my birthday is tomorrow, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENNY -from your 3 1/2 hours younger version of yourself-

DRIVINGGGG

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I PASSED MY DRIVING!!!!!!!

OMG, I'm sososososo excited!!!

And why am I so excited? I mean...what's the big deal?

Well, 'cuz i failed the first time. Both Part 2 and 3. So I was really nervous that I might screw up again, especially since my L license expires on the 2nd of April. On the way to the testing centre I was hoping so hard that I would be able to get my clutch/oil right. Turns out that Surfine Hitech changed all the road cars and they're all NEW!!! YES YES YES, my heart jumped up for joy!!! I was so relieved that we weren't gonna use that stupid old crap of a car for driving. The jalan part went smoothly, mainly because the clutch was pretty much the same as the car I used to practice. I took Jalan 2, and I made a mistake by forgetting one of the bumps (which wasn't coloured yellow, mind you) and only saw it at the last minute. Thankfully the tester didn't pin me down for that. I got X for signals (keep forgetting, hee) and gear (that one I don't know why) but anyways the others were alright.

Then came the dreaded part, the slope/parking/three-point turn. I was so afraid that I might fail that one, and have to re-sit...AGAIN. The first time I stopped and it didn't reach the line, so the tester gave me another chance. OMG, I was having this 'you better get this right or dad will give you HELL' moments, so I just took a deep breath and drove up SLOWLY. This time I managed 100%. Then came the hard part, driving it down. After seeing so many people failing and their cars went downhill, I was really nervous. But I calmed down, release the clutch till it vibrated, and pressed the oil as hard as I could. I could hear angels singing when the car moved FRONTWARDS instead of the fail-worthy BACKWARDS. Then off to parking. Parking was pretty easy for me, but since this is THE TEST, I wasn't going to take any chances. I got off that easily and made the three-point turn. I wasn't going to take that easy either. I've seen a few failing that part because they took things too easy. So I did what I had to do, carefully.

When I the tester gave me my slip, I literally felt this HUGE BOULDER lifting off me. Seriously, I NEVER HAVE TO TAKE LESSONS AGAIN. I never have to wait for my instructor (who always arrives late), never have to face the frustration of driving to Ulu Langat and never have to face the agony of waiting for your turn to drive. Never again. YES.

And so, that concludes my day today...I'm sosososososo happy, and my dad is taking me and my mom out to eat Jap food. Yippeeeee...

YESYESYES...

SPM results

WAHAHAHA yes...I got 7As 3Bs...WOOPEEE

Back After A Loooong Week

HIHIHIHI!!! Finally able to update. My Internet connection was really bad for a few days and then my modem got fried, so I was Internet-less for quite some time.

So it's back to college and the homework's starting to pile up.
First, I have Comp. Graphics...have to design 3 types of patterns, and I have to make it really complicated and stuff.

Then, I have 2 projects from Comp. Applications, but the deadline is quite some time away so I'll take that one easy.

Then, I have to do a research on a local/international celebrity. Gotta do survey and stuff to see how many people know the celeb and what kind of people are they(teenagers/people in the entertainment industry/fans of certain movies/etc.) I just got the assignment today but I already have a suggestion that I discussed with Arashi. Those who know me well will know what I suggested, hehe.

And...my aunt and uncle from Singapore are arriving at my home tomorrow. I have to sacrifice my room for them to sleep. (My room has two single beds, and the guest bedroom downstairs is too small for two people.) I don't really mind, I just hope I can use my own bathroom, as I'm not really keen on using the other bathrooms in the house. But other than that, I can adapt pretty much okay.

Kk gtgs, Coffee Prince finished loading.

Seeya.

Some nice songs from Celtic Woman

make sure you pause the westlife song 1st...

driving: day...### (lost count)

AHAHAHAHA...FINALLY, i managed to get the hang of the slopes....YESYESYES...SCREW YOU BLOODY SLOPES!!! WHO'S THE (wo)MAN?!?! ME!!!MUAHAHA!!!

*ahem*

rite...all i have to do now is to get my car straight when im on the slopes...because there's a turning before the slopes...so i have to be careful about that.

owh owh...and Leng, Abi, Kean, Kev and I are gonna watch Jumper (starring hottie Hayden Christensen...*faints*) on sunday...hopefully it's gonna be great...

AND HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! (it's still within the 15 days of cny, so it's not too late to say it, today's the eighth day btw...)

TATA!!! GONG HEI FATT CHOY GONG HEI FATT CHOY!!! xin nian kuai le, wan shi ru yi ( thx for the spelling leng!)

:'(

This is another sad day for me. My dog, Muttzi, who has been with me for approximately 10 years...has been put to sleep today.

I guess I have been dreading this day for a long time. He has been bitten my aunt, my cousin, me, my dad and recently my mom. She needed stitches for her bite. But otherwise, he was such a happy-go-lucky dog, its just that sometimes instincts take over, and he bites. I'm sure gonna miss his windmill-like swinging of his tail, and the way he looks at you with those big eyes, and the way he looks at you that makes him look like he's grinning at you.

I'm gonna miss him alot.

Imagine...10 years...most dogs don't live that long, and he looked like he might go through another 5 years easy. 10 years of being my friend, being my companion when I feel really down and ignored.

I wonder what he felt, whether he felt betrayed at the last second.

I wonder, when he closed his eyes, whether he realises that he wouldn't wake up anymore.

That when he was taken to the vet, it was the last time he would see my house, my family, and my other dog Ren, who has been his best pal for years.

I wonder whether Ren notices his absense. And that it would be permanent. No longer will those two buddies play together, eat together, bark at strangers together, and occasionally go on a frenzy when a rat sneaks under the hood of the car.

She seems pretty normal, it looks like she's taken up his legacy of barking at strangers passing by.

Rest in peace, my dear dog. May your next life be more fortunate.

omigosh...

This is incredibly saddening.

Heath Ledger has died.

Of course, I didn't only know JUST now, I'm not that backwards.

I'm not really a fan of him, but I do acknowledge that he is a good actor. I guess the one thing that shook me, and the world, the most was that his death was so unexpected. Like all of a sudden, POOF! If it were any other celebs *cough*britney*cough*...well you know.

And he lost his life at the peak of his career. How unfortunate, to lose your life just when it's just about to start.

My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends, as well as all his fans around the world.

Meteorology

I. Can't. Wait. To. Move. Out.

Hello folks, it seems that today is going to be another gloomy day, with the expected 'complaining parents' just starting to fall and we won't be expecting it to stop soon, but keep your hopes up.

If I had a computer in my room, I would stay there the whole day and never come down.

Today seems a vast difference from yesterday, where the predicted 'fun' and 'friends' shone down brightly, stretching even longer than expected. Yes, folks down at SS2, particularly the Swenson's area experienced the predicted 'happiness' and 'cheer', rounded off with a cool 'ice-cream' but there were some harsh 'accidents' that even the experts didn't expect. However, they were minor and everything returned to normal.

Why can't they just leave my stuff alone? It's not like my stuff are the only things on the table.

Tomorrow, I foresee 'fun', 'friends' and a 'bloody good time'. Also, I give you my word that tomorrow will have 'homework' but don't worry folks, we'll get to that when the time comes.

It's like a syndrom or something. Complaints will always come when someone gets the House Cleaning Virus.

randomness

HIHI!!! I'm currently listening to Westlife (Unbreakable Hits) which puts me in such a good mood that I thought I'd blog about last week. Soo...brace yourself...Ready? SET GO!!!

Well, nothing much happened last week. Owh, I forgot to mention that I saw another ex-DJian at IACT...Shwu Mei!!! Which is incredibly cool, because we have been in the same school since primary! She's in IAA, same class as Cheryl and Elaine (new friends), but we share some classes.

Owh, and my Computer Graphics class is COOL...We're just learning how to use Adobe, the functions, shortcut keys and everything. We haven't really started doing anything yet. And the first homework Mr. Low gave was to draw two A4 sized tribal tattoos. How cool is that? It's a bit hard, have to find the perfect picture to "tribal-ize" but I'm lovin' it! I've made a few designs so far, and I'll put the pix up as soon as I find out how to upload it onto my computer first, before uploading it here.

I'm also currently addicted to Naruto Shippuuden. Finally, I can understand the bits and pieces of previously incomprehensible conversations between Abi and Leng. YAY!! Btw, I went to my Grandparent's house a couple of days ago, and showed my young cousins my tribal-ized Kyuubi, which started a drawing frenzy; they started taking out pieces of paper and made me draw pictures from them. I drew a lamey Kakashi, Naruto, Pikachu and I traced the Kyuubi for them. My Kakashi and Naruto looked lamey because I didn't really have a pic to refer to, and I was pretty lazy to draw it properly, but still the kids were like "Waaaahhh...gimme gimme, I waaannnt..." Haha, it's so easy to please little children.

Okays, I gotta go. I still have Practical 3 from Computer Applications to finish. Ciaoz.

Internet-less since Thursday, and didn't enjoy it ONE BIT!!

HIIIIIIIIII

Oh, you have no idea how happy I am right now. FINALLY, after 'bout 5 agonizing days without an Internet connection, I AM BACK AT MY LOVELY HOME CALLED THE WORLD WIDE WEB!!!

Since I've been gone for a week, let me fill you in on the latest...

Driving went...ok......

School....ROCKS!!!

Homework...all done except the DNA club brochure thing. I've filled up half a page, don't know what else to fit in.

Life...so far so good.

And btw, my sis is coming back on the 2nd of Feb. 2 years...wonder how she looks like now(wrinkles??) hehe...

Or...whether she has any...*wink wink* *shakes pinky finger*

well....that's it...I got nothing else to say

oh dread...I'm boring.

How sad.

Boo hoo...

DGD02 (January)

Officially started my Graphics Design course today. Yesterday was just orientation. It was just Jia Huey and I, but we'll be joining an earlier batch later, so that'll be 8 in the class altogether. Today, ust did a bit of stuff on Microsoft Word, like how to use the features there and all. Nothing fancy, available on everyone's Microsoft Word, unless you got the really old version of it.

Next driving day would most prob be on Fri or Sun

Mixes feelings about it. I hope I can get the clutch/oil pedal thing right.

Kies. Chaos, me gtg do homework. T.T

Driving: Day 2

WOOHOO!!! I DROVE MYSELF HOME!!! Well, actually the guy gave me directions, but it still counts. Made a few mistakes again, the same clutch/oil pedal thing. Haihz, but I'm certain with a little bit of practice, I'll be as good as Micheal Schumacher (sp?)... OKOK...at least as good as my dad. The guy was going crazy...hehe...can't say I blame him. 'Haiyo...don't release clutch so fast mar...' and 'Seelah, you ah...' and 'Why you ah...drive middle road wan??' were common during that heart-wretching drive. But anyway, not like he's mistake-free...he doesn't even wear his seatbelt. And on the way back, some traffic police were 'saman'ing some guy, I went like 'OMGOMG, please don't 'tahan' me...' Not only that, when I was on a busy junction, that guy's phone rang, AND HE PICKED IT UP!! I'm just a beginner on the road, and I wasn't sure when to turn, and the guy focused his attention somewhere else? Luckily one kind soul, while overtaking my car, sort of waved his hand to signal that I could go. Thank goodness for him. ISH...scared me like crap.

But anyway, I made it back SAFELY...that's what counts. I still have my limbs and my legs still work, and so does my heart (phew~)

If I survive the next few weeks, I'll let you know.

Driving and teachers

Had my first driving lesson today. The guy drove me to some empty lot and taught me to drive round. It was harder than I expected. The driving wasn't so bad, but it was the clutch/oil pedal thing that I had trouble with. I killed the poor car's engine like...5 times. T.T Scared the poor instructor like mad. Haha. That guy another thing, when I was circling the lot, he was busy sorting out his bills and paperwork and not really paying attention to my driving. What the heck? He only looked up once a while.

Then later my dad took me to the bookshop to buy EST textbook to replace the SPBT one I lost last year. Then he drove me to school to return it, and then I had to look for the teacher. Had to ask around a few times before I found her in one of the labs, handing out the free textbooks to the Form 3s. After all that effort, one would expect a little appreciation and gratitute for returning, but instead, I got shouted at in front of the students. Something about not having the time to 'layan' me and have to sign this sign that. It took me all I had not to shout back at her. HELLO~? I had to go all the way to the bookshop, then pay for the book, then go all the way to school to return it, then search for her all over the place, and THIS IS THE KIND OF TREATMENT I GET?? If I wanted to I could've just 'forgotten' about it and leave her to deal with it. But I didn't, because I thought that it wasn't right to do it, because well, it was my responsibility since I lost it. But what did I get in return?? A scolding for not returning on time. SHE was the one that said I can return it when school starts. It not my fault when I arrive at the time when she's busy. After all, I didn't anticipate any of that. Instead of being appreciated for my efforts, I get a scolded for coming to her at a bad time. How was I to know? I admit that I'm wrong for losing the book, but I already took responsibility of that by replacing one. She wasn't scolding me for losing the book anyway, but for coming to her at a time where she was busy. Then when I tried to explain that she told me before that I could return it when school reopens, she then said I was trying to put the blame on her. WTH? Seriously, people like that won't listen to a thing you have to say, no matter how innocent you are. It took me all I had to hold back my anger. And imagine, in front of the Form 3s? So much for being a 'contoh' to the juniors, huh? But I hope that that would be a lesson to them not to poke a dragon in the eye, even though the poke is to warn the dragon that its tail is on fire.

Sheesh, which goes to show, honesty is NOT always the best policy. And this happens just when I'm starting to miss her and attending her classes.

Couldn't she just tell me NICELY that she was busy, then tell me when I can come back to return the book? Or give me another alternative that suits the both of us? Or tell me what I can do to make the job easier? Apparently I need to sign something, can't she tell me what I'm supposed to do to complete the process?

This reminds me of someone that I met in the bookshop when I was buying the book, who is a total opposite. A lady came in and told me that she was selling some stuff for charity, and whether I wanted to buy anything. She told me that politely, and had a nice smile on her face. Even though I politely refused, she still had a big smile on her face and bowed her head slightly, I could see it in her eyes that she was sincere. Then she later asked a woman, who just waved her hand and walked off, but the lady still smiled politely and thanked her. It made me feel slightly sorry that I couldn't buy any of her stuff. It's people like that that makes me smile, knowing that the world still has politeness among those 'I-am-busy-don't-bother-me' people. And to think that she was doing this for charity, she wasn't going to get any profit from it, makes me marvel at her patience and kindness.

For the new year, I strive to be as patient and kind as she is. Thank you, lady, for setting a good example.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Now that it's the beginning of the new year, let all the bad experiences in the past be washed away by the winds of time along with 2007, and welcome the future that is 2008. May there be peace, happiness and joys for the new year!!!

And now on to the new year resolutions. Well, I haven't really given much thought about it, but these are the basics:-

#Have fun
#Be *ahem* more hardworking
#Keep my room clean
#Make friends
#Keep the old ones
#PARTAAAYY!!!
*owh wait...that isn't really a resolution...owh well...*
#Be more careful on spending money $$$
#Spend more time studying and less time entertaining *don't bet on it, though*
#Be more involved in societies, socialize around
#Work off my big butt

Speaking of which, I celebrated the new year with Li Ann and Kevin last night, and while 'lepak'-ing around 1 Utama we came along the massaging machines and saw the machine where you stand on this platform and the platform will vibrate. Kevin and I stood on it and played with the machine until we we stood on solid ground, our legs were still feeling the effects of the vibration. Hahahaa...and can see people's butt vibrating when they stand on it...so geli...

Then we went walking around some more and went to Starbucks. I bought a...something Americano, forgot what it was called, but it tasted YUCK!! It was just plain coffee and ice, I couldn't stand it. Maybe I'm just too used to the coffee at the mamak stall or the chinese cafe, but it tasted so bitter I couldn't stand drinking it. I gave the rest to Kevin. Wasted like 9 bucks. Gosh.

Then I got a call from Leng telling us that she was at the rooftop, so we went there. Goodness, spend like...30 minutes running here and there searching for her, because 1 Utama itself has many rooftops, accessible only by a few staircases. Then we finally gave up looking for her and just enjoyed the fireworks. Tried to take some pictures, but fireworks have a way of not showing up nicely on phone cameras. Sigh.

Owh btw, I went to that shop Leng told me about, and they did have some really cool designs, but too bad, all in size 37, no 36. And 37 really looks awkward on my feet, like Ronald McDonald's oversized shoes. ISHHHHH...Looks like 2008 will be a new-sneaker-less year. Darn.

Owh yea...we saw Gene Harn, too. He thought I went NS. -_-"

Well, that's it then.

So once again...


HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
Have A Joyful 2008!!!
