Random Ramblings

Barriers

2008-10-26T15:38:00.002+08:00

My mom went to Sabah last friday to pick up my maternal grandmother. PoPo (what we usually refer to her as), over the last few years, has been suffering from a few afflictions due to increasing age, and had to undergo several surgeries. Recently, she started to have nose bleeds after the latest surgery in KL. PoPo just arrived at our house today, and now I remember just why it was so awkward to have her over.

My grandma has a rather extensive and interesting history. From stories my mom tells me, i managed to patch some parts together. My grandma had two marriages. The first marriage was to a kungfu master who eventually left to return to Hong Kong, leaving her behind due to her reluctance to leave her homeland. Her second marriage was to a goldsmith as a second wife. As a second wife, there were less privileges afforded to her. No luxuries, no extra stuff. Add to that the 12 children that she had (no birth control those days), and you have a rather hard situation. It wasn't to say that the other wife didn't have children. No she did. Up til now, I still don't fully understand how they managed to survive. But anyway, now due to those 12 children, I have a plethora of cousins, ranging from the age of 40 to 2 years old. Nevertheless, all the hardships that she has been through has left a mark on her. She is not insane, crazy, mad or even delusional by any definition of the word. She worries overly much. She's scared of being alone. And now she's at my home, where my dad works the whole day, my mom works part time in a kindergarden, my sibling and I attend school and university respectively. So now i'm worrying. Add to the fact that none of my siblings and I can communicate effectively with her?

PoPo, growing up in Sabah, can speak Holkien, Haka, some (I say this very generally) cantonese, malay, mandarin and very very little english. My siblings and I were born in Singapore while my dad was working there. Both of our parents were English educated and speak different dialects. Growing up speaking English and later forcibly sent to a Chinese primary school after returning to Malaysia, none of us really managed to learn different dialects aside from the basics. The last time that PoPo stayed with us, she constantly questioned us on our mother's whereabouts whenever she was out, which was a lot. And we couldn't really answer.

So i'm worried. Really really worried.

Of all things to do..

2008-10-14T00:32:00.002+08:00

Of all stupid things to do, i believe i've just topped my list. For one, getting up early, doing nothing for pretty much the whole day, going clubbing, later mamak, going home to change and shower, and going for a 6 km walkathon the every next day sure counts. With zero sleep, half running, jogging and walking the whole way, i'm half surprised i didn't KO. yeap. Doing all that on sleep deprivation. On a side note, i've somehow been elected to a commitee in a club i haven't been to in at least half a year? Yip pee do dah. =)

2008-10-08T21:22:00.001+08:00

Sigh, of all days i'm supposed to be happy, and i was. But right now? I'm depressed. And i have no idea why. Wonderful.

3 day summary

2008-10-05T18:15:00.003+08:00

Friday

YEP Practice
Movie
Bowling
Archery
YumCha

Went out with "the bonding group" right after practice. Arrived in Pyramid late, thanks to Brandon :P and lack of parking. After numerous debates and attempts to make each other decide to choose what to eat, we ended up eating sushi in Sakae Sushi. One thing led to another, and we soon found ourselves going to bowling and archery right after the movie. And of course no day is complete without a Yum Cha sessioN!

Saturday

Tiara's open house
Satay
clubbing

Tiara's place in Kajang was the perfect excuse to eat more. 'Specially satay. Anything else after that was utterly random. Yup, clubbing in BarCelona was just random.

Sunday

B-day celebration lunch

Late again. This time with a record of 2 hours+. The old school group was supposed to meet up Ara Damansara, and of course Shin Le and I had no idea how to get there, getting completely lost. I can understand how Cheryl feels now. I need a GPS =P The rest of the day after that was spent doing really really last minute assignments.

Yeap, 3 long days. 3 long and very tiring days. 3 long and very tiring but fun days. So thanks guys :P

Ideas and executions

2008-10-02T10:39:00.003+08:00

The past week, being the Raya holidays, I thought that I felt like going running. So I planned to wake up at around 7 or 8 to go. Alas, sometimes my half-asleep self makes more sense than my conscious thinking. Waking before the alarm each time, I managed to persuade myself that jogging when i'm sleepy is self-defeating. Needless to say, I was talked out of it by myself, switched the alarm off, waking up a few hours later. So how now? I decided that since I couldn't wake up in the mornings, I would go during the evening. The strategy has been foiled by none other than my beloved laptop which I just can't seem to let go off. Sigh. On another note, this morning's failure I blame on Brandon. That orang called me at 11.50 p.m., almost midnight, and preceded to talk for almost 2 hours. Not my fault that I couldn't wake up after that! It's okay Brandon, I still consider you one of my best GIRL chat buddies =P

So, new strategies. Hmm, there's this one where I place my phone cum alarm clock somewhere out of reach for someone half awake. But knowing myself, that's probably not going to deter my sleep-deprived self. But what will? I've no idea.

I should just admit defeat.

Ps: Who wants to go eat dim sum?

5 p.m.

2008-10-01T16:59:00.004+08:00

It's 5 p.m. on a wednesday evening. I've pretty much spent the day doing nothing, despite my impending assignments still waiting undone. It wasn't until a couple of minutes ago that I realized that today is October 1. OCTOBER 1! Time just passed so damn fast! In another 3 days would be Pick Yee's b-day. In another 5 days two assignments are due. In another 6 days is my cousin's b-day. In another 7 is mine. In just a wink, almost the whole year has passed. Really, the feeling like i've been wasting my time is plaguing me. What have I been doing? What should I be doing? Why am I here? Why should I be here? And you know what? It just doesn't make any sense. The isolation, detachment.. It's almost like I don't care. Should I care? And now i'm just not making sense. Exams are coming up soon, and I have to buck up. I should. But I don't really want to. Nor do I really care. The disinterest, the indifference.
Really.. What do I want? I don't know.

PS: Random thought.. I want chocolate :P

Farewell/Reunion

2008-09-28T17:38:00.002+08:00

With Heng Ji leaving to UK soon to further his studies in Cambridge (for chemical engineering), some of us got reserved yesterday for dinner at Friday's. The showup mostly consisted of ex-5 Angsana and BungaRaya students, with a few odd-balls like me, Sherri, Jia Ping. Taking advantage of the fact that Justin's a neighbour, I tumpang-ed his car, saving my petrol and the general hassle of finding parking =P Now, you would think that people would be early for this sort of events, or at least on time, but the majority of the attendances, being typical Malaysians, arrived at least half an hour late. Some of the other not so typical Malaysians, like yours truly (hahaha.. being fetched means you're not allowed to be late, or if you are, the blame can be shifted to the true culprit, even if u did make him wait =P), ended up waiting, bored out of their skulls, passing time in various ways. You know how many people say that maturity comes with time? This has been officially disproved. Another common saying, 'boys never grow up', on the other hand, is completely true. The guys were being guys, high school guys to be more accurate. Just ask anyone. Some would think that 2 years would change people. They didn't change a bit. Yeap. Uhhuh. It was kinda strange watching them, never really being close with any of them at that time, being invited due to knowing Heng Ji AFTER the high school period. Really, for some high school was the pinnacle of their lives. I wouldn't say it was my worst time, not even close really, but it definitely wasn't spectacular either. It's weird how you can know people for 5 years, but never really get to know them. But get pulled out of your comfort zone, dropped in a place where most people don't know each other, and you can get along swimmingly fine, even making better friends than ever before. Ah, the old times, I really do sound old heh?
So why go in the first place? I don't know either. Still don't really. Maybe I was bored, curious how old acquaintances were doing. Fact is, I went, don't regret it, enjoyed myself, and had plenty to write about. So much so, that i've just completely lost whatever trail of thought I was following in the first place. Oh well, thinking is overrated.

Practice, assignments, practice..

2008-09-27T14:15:00.003+08:00

Just like the title says.. Practice, assignments, practice.. The beginning of my holidays is marked with just that! What with the MPAC's year end production coming up in two weeks and another two assignments due at the exact end of the hols..

Just a few days ago, us the cast members have been accosted to the costume shop for fittings. There were really a lot of different costumes, cute, irritating, halloween right up to downright ridiculous! Thankfully most of us avoided those, deciding on okay costumes. Wait till they see Kaamesh! :P

Summary

2008-09-19T22:18:00.002+08:00

Hip-hop class - 1 hour
Lab reports - 2 hours
badminton - 4 hours (not continuous)
Makan - 1/2 - 1 hour

This is effectively the summary of just about all my fridays. Can't blame me if i feel totally wiped out, bloated with water (2 bottles, 600 mL and 1.2 L) and food. Just imagine, Melissa's even worse off, with an additional 2 hour dance class before badminton. Ah well, i can't complain.

Of all darned things..

2008-09-13T20:15:00.002+08:00

The ISA (Internal Security Act) have arrested three people, notably a DAP parliament member, a reporter and a MalaysiaKini blogger. Teresa Kok, a DAP (of the opposition party), was accused of being involved in activities that can potentially cause "religious tension and conflict". Raja Petra, a prominent blogger was also detained over allegedly being "a threat to security, peace and public order". Sin Chew Daily journalist Tan Hoon Cheng was arrested for "her own safety" after reporting Ahmad Ismail's speech (the UMNO guy who insulted the chinese, calling them squatters, immigrants, etc.). The arrests were made on the same day, yesterday, September 12, with only Tan Hoon Cheng being released. This just smacks too much of certain parts of the government covering up for issues such as slander towards other races (that aren't malay), etc.

all too early

2008-09-11T08:42:00.012+08:00

It's early, too early to be out of bed and in uni, and my eye is itching. I could always add more detail, saying that i'm also currently suffering from a temporary sinus problem, but that just makes me sound like a certain someone who i definitely do NOT want to sound like. I think morning people should be made outlaws. Seriously, you wake up, and there's this annoyingly cheerful person next to you, looking way too good too early in the morning, while you on the other hand are suffering from dark eye circles, bleary eyes, sinus, the list goes on. Pftt!

Sigh.. i lost my ENV class, can't find it.. i shall just stay here..

Random: My list of Fascinations

Shiny Stuff
Laughing at people who mess up
Music
exploiting the uni's bandwidth
Sports

PS: My sister had her tongue pierced last week. That's just the latest she's been doing on the Things You Should Not Even Think About Doing list (or TYSNETAD =P) Hahahaha, she couldn't eat and speak properly for a couple of days. And my parents? Still clueless (along with all the other stuff, though i think they almost caught her with the smoking).

PSS: I haven't touched the piano in ages. What i have been touching a lot is my laptop, which i love very much and have been totally faithful to, though he's probably seducing me to have me all to himself, away from the nasty studying and annoying books.

PSSS: My uni's student council election week's on right now. The two opposing parties are named Smile and Speak. Is there any surprise that their party color is yellow and pink accordingly? They're even sms-ing, SPAMing and campaigning to random people telling them to vote for them. Screw it, i'm not voting.

PSSSS: You know the UMNO guy who said that the Chinese were squatters, immigrants, should only be granted substandard rights AND refused to apologise? HE WAS ONLY SUSPENDED FOR 3 DAMN YEARS!!! What the heck?! If we were muslim and he insulted the muslims, he would be dead even before he had the chance to apologize. Come to think of it, it'll probably be the same if we were malay.. DO SOMETHING DAMN IT!@#$%

Stalker..

2008-09-01T21:18:00.003+08:00

Ah.. Beware.. My little brother has a STALKER! She's cute (luckily for him) but small (not so lucky).

My brother's hiding...

trying to get him to notice her (btw, i taught her that =P)

So CUTE! TADAA!! Introducing my littlest cousin, Miu. We had lunch with in the Crystal Jade, The Gardens with 3 other families. Being bored, most of us found loads of amusement with our little cousin and her propensity to stalk cute guys, which is my bro was targetted. Seriously though, she only let her parents, aunties and uncles plus my brother to carry her. Is there something wrong with this picture? =P

Aftershock

2008-08-31T14:55:00.007+08:00

Condition: licking my wounds (figuratively)
Mood: tired but contented
location: home

ah.. the highlight of the day yesterday, the AFTERPARTY at MOS, Euphoria. Well, at the very least it definitely wasn't the ball. It's definitely unusual to see certain people dancing like there's no tomorrow (and other people who just can't dance!). It's almost like they're a completely different person, not the same they are in uni. But considering that about 70 to 80% of the people who went to the monash went for the afterparty..? Most of us only left after the club closed, sometime around 3.30 am, heading to a nearby mamak to lick our wounds to relax our broken feet and reboot before heading home. Some of us (namely really us) only got home at 5.40am, sleeping until early afternoon the next day.

Joanne, knackered out from her mad dancing, not to mention being puked on (yeap she changed)
ps: guess who's the pillow?

Tijo, not fully awake, not fully knocked out yet

Yong Lin, puked and rebooting

Joanne: sleeping position number 2

Joanne: sleeping position number 3!

Poor michelle, the unfortunate pillow.

Well, after the party, i've decided (and i'm sure other people agree with me) that man's greatest invention was the flip-flops, with the worst being high heels (why create such an abomination?!), the blisters on my feet being the case study! Thank goodness for my flip-flops and spare clothes in my car!

Ps: drove home later, a 25 minute drive became 7 minutes! Wonderfully traffic-less (i'd be worried if there was any!) The wonders of driving at 110 km/hr

Tweaking

2008-08-28T20:28:00.005+08:00

For the lack of anything to do (anything not beneficial) today, i've been messing around with the html of my blog. I've literally spent hours just trying to figure out what to change and what not to change to achieve the effects that i wanted. In the whole process, i somehow managed to delete my blog list (if you're missing give me a buzz!) together with a couple of other stuff.

But well.. look at the results!! I'm so proud of myself *shedding tears* :P

Wet Anna

2008-08-27T19:27:00.003+08:00

Condition: Wet
Mood: irritated
listening to : Break the ice - Britney Spears
Location: Home

Another day of pouring rain and a thoroughly soaked and irritated Anna who had just come back from 'ta-paoing' food makes such a wonderful day, doesn't it? Seriously though, it's really getting ridiculous, the amount of rain today's more than enough to flood a desert! Sigh, well, better than it being hot and humid i guess.

List of things yet to do (This week)

Chemistry report
Bio essay
study for environmental science test
study in general
dress for monash ball (this weekend!!)
study for bio quiz tomorrow
read up on labs next week
clean room (it's probably never going to be done)

Shucks, none even started on yet.. and i'm even blogging, queen of procrastination. :P

Ps: maybe i should call myself that..

Great weather we're having.. No?

2008-08-26T12:16:00.003+08:00

Mood: feeling creative
Listening to: Diana King - Say a little prayer
Location: Monash Uni (in the freezing cold of the outside -.-)

For the past month or so we west malaysians had really unusual weather, well, at least unusual for Malaysia anyway. With a long dry spell (who would accuse Malaysia of being dry?!) and 35 degrees celsius plus weather, things could definitely be better! But for the past week, the spell seems to have lifted and now we've having the opposite! It's freaking cold and overcast now, i estimate it could be about 20 degrees? Yerkk. The weather's even becoming as unpredictable as Australia (dry/hot/cold/windy/wet). -.-

On another note, the end of this week's the Monash ball. A few people (Joanne & I), haven't gotten dresses yet and some (Joanne) are going to get them only a few days before the ball. Others (me), have just decided to wing it, i'm going to create my own dress!! I'm so proud of myself. So maybe it isn't really creating so much as putting together a top and skirt, making it look like a dress, but hey, a girl can dream can't she? It's definitely going to be unique anyway. After all, with the ball theme being Mardi Gras (last day of carnival), who could wear her other formal dresses without the risk of being completely and utterly overdressed? And i've been needing another hobby anyway =P

Ps: no, i don't take commissions =P

After months > Roundabout > Facebook's fault

2008-08-25T18:19:00.008+08:00

Mood: Sleepy
Physical condition: aching from back to legs..
Current task: multitasking.. Facebook, blogging and chatting..

So here i am again, after months of not posting, simply because i just couldn't muster up the willpower to change my webpage from facebook to blogspot. It's just not my fault that facebook has all those cool and addictive apps, so much until the act of typing outside of last-minute assignments doesn't even get the chance to to make as much as a peep without being crushed by my overwhelming laziness.. No-siree! Definitely not me :P

The latest? I had two assignments due today, an essay on a field trip and a lab report, and i started them last night.

Last-minute Assignments = No sleep = falling asleep in lectures

And yes, i literally did not sleep a wink last night, rushing two horrible assignments, and nearly (on and off) fell asleep in my lectures. So, if knowing that rushing last minutes assignments steals away my preciousss ssleeep, why do so? You know what? I completely blame the badminton competition. Yup, badminton competition, the one i had on friday and saturday. The one that left my butt muscles, thigh muscles and my back muscles aching. The one that we got thrashed in the quarterfinals.. What a joy.. So in the end, i sacrificed my beauty sleep to get thrashed in badminton. Doesn't sound so good now huh. Well, on the flip side, badminton seems to be a sport that attracts all the nice people. At least now i can add more people to my facebook account, huh, facebook strikes again, so its facebook's fault =P

Ps: For an unmentionable deed, Aileen shall henceforth be known as EVIL =P
Pss: Another stupid essay due on wed with another due in two weeks.. -.-
Psss: Not to mention the other 2 lab reports due every week plus the biotech essay every two weeks..

Post is dedicated to EVIL (capital letters needed to represent the MAJORNESS of the evil =P)

Family at movies

2008-04-30T21:42:00.001+08:00

For the 1st time in my life, my family's going for a movie together. An impromptu thing, it started by me suggesting to watch iron man tonight because the next day is labour day, and somehow snowballed to the whole family going. So here i am now, sitting in the cinema, blogging while waiting for the movie to start with my family. Ta! :p

Racist Practice..

2008-04-30T18:06:00.003+08:00

This was from a forwarded email..

Hello everyone. I have some interesting news.
I was in Pizza Hut (Sunway Pyramid) yesterday and suddenly my friend showed me the bill.

The bill contains normal things la (number of person, bill. number and what is ordered). But, what shocked me is that they had space called ' RACE ' .I guess since we were all wearing tudung, they labelled us as 0, which means MALAY. Later, when we went to pay…we had no service charge and no tax charge.

Still in shock, I peeped into another bill in the counter. In that bill, under the race space, it was labelled as C (which I guess means Chinese). That bill had service and tax charges!!!
I started investigating. One of my Sri Lankan friends was labelled as Indian it seems and she also had to pay service and tax charges a few weeks back. What I'm wondering is that…does anyone know about this? I find it rather strange that they charge service and tax charge using race in Pizza Hut, out of all the places!

WE SHOULD NOT GO EAT AT PIZZA HUT!

BOYCOTT PIZZA HUT!

Procrastinating

2008-04-29T23:29:00.005+08:00

You know, it never ceases to amaze me how much i can procrastinate when i'm supposed to be doing my assignments. Especially when i have a lab report and a workshop due tomorrow plus 2 essays due next week. We're talking about two 1000+ words essay for bio and management respectively.. Both of which need extensive research. Yeah, i'm doomed.

Herein lies Anna Lim
RIP

Never-ending hope = Never-ending hurt = Never-ending frustration

Err.. Whaaa?

2008-04-29T10:49:00.006+08:00

A friend of mine just posted up yet another wishlist for her b-day.. Hahahaha.. And i realise that yet again that i've no idea what half of those things are. for example, "The Persimmon Tree by Bryce Courtenay". Just what in the world's that?! Or "silver Christian Louboutin Maryjane" and "Espidrilles"?! Hahahaha.. Obviously I'm not really fashion conscious, more accurately, NOT brand conscious.. I mean who in the world bothers to keep up with the fickle trends and brand names anyway.. Ooops, sorry.. erm.. girls out there?

Hahahaha,
signing out,
a random fashion inept person =P

Just giving up's just so much easier than hanging on, less stress too!

STUPID GUYS!

2008-04-28T10:51:00.006+08:00

To all girls out there: Did you ever have an experience with guy who was double timing at least one of the girls in his life? I sort of have. Why only 'sort of'? Because i've wasn't and never will be in a relationship with that guy has spared me from that fate. But unfortunately, his girlfriend from last year until now isn't that lucky.

She emailed me at the start of the year, after finding out that i went out with him once. Managing to find my email address in HIS inbox, she asked me, surprisingly, really politely about what really happened. It was even more shocking to me. Why? I had no idea that he still had a gf, then i found out that he purposely made it seem that way. His girlfriend and i continued mailing back and forth for awhile and eventually stopped. Until today. Again, she emailed me, asking about a version of the very same questions she asked me before. In my mind i keep on wondering why she keeps on putting herself into this, causing herself pain. Just how can she still love him after all that he has done to her? And mind you, dating other girls wasn't the only thing he did to her. He lied endlessly, that at least i can gather. Is that type of relationship even worth it? I don't think so. Even in the emails i can see that it's tearing down her self-confidence, self-worth and dignity. After all, who goes begging to her bf's "ex-outsidegirl"? If i were her i would've dumped him a long long time ago and moved on. But i've never been that attached to him anyway.

So what would she do now? I pray that she would be able to pick up the pieces if the worse comes to play. Or at least that she'll be able to do the best thing for herself, and beat him up! YEAH!! Here's to boycotting guys without massive background checks and references =P

Monash Street Carnival

2008-04-27T11:54:00.006+08:00

When i woke up this morning, the first thing i felt was the aching in my right arm -.-" why? Because i just had to indulge myself in an 2 and a half hours almost straight water fight in the Monash Street Carnival. I just had too much fun with the water gun to resist, even with the sore eyes from being shot water, the soap and the sore arms :P

When i arrived early, it looked really deserted, but the pace picked up around 6pm.. thankfully, it was damn hot that day!

Anyway, i loaded some pics from the Carnival :P

Joanne, her royal ghostliness, just had her make up done, getting ready to scare the living daylights out of everyone!

Just before they got on to the gladiator ring and started beating the shit out of each other..

Goodbye TiJo, We'll miss you! NOT! And Jeevan is victorious!

Guess who won? :P Poor cheryl, got pushed off!

May Li, Ganas!!

May Li again, bull riding this time! Hahaha.. She managed to stay on for almost 2 minutes! Go May Li!~

Night has come, and so has the bleeding ghost!

Besides all these, there were performances like dances, bands.. But i think being with frens and chilling was the best part :P

I guess changing my mind and hoping was too much, so now i give up.

Dental appointment

2008-04-26T10:34:00.000+08:00

It's finally saturday and what am i doing? Attending my forgotten dental appointment. Why? Due to an accident last year, in which my tooth went up against metal and lost, the forementioned tooth's nerves were diagnosed as dying. And how does this affect me? Well, seeing as I'M the tooth's owner and any subsequent pain would be felt by me? In any way, I'll most likely have to get an rootcanal - something i definitely don't want to do! Nooo!

Today..

2008-04-25T18:31:00.005+08:00

As usual, early every friday morning, every science student ended up going early (at least an hour) to finish their lab reports, whether it's because it was left last minute or they had questions they couldn't answer.. But there was one thing special today.. LAB WAS CANCELLED!!! HOORAY!! :P Hahahaha..

Anyway, i just ended up finishing the report and handing it in (or rather, getting Kaamesh to do it for me XP), and left for midvalley with chuntat to try to get my laptop fixed. But.. of all things.. sigh.. We found out that Techdos (the distributer for Lenovo), well, packed up and.. Wasn't there anymore? I even called their HQ to find out, but alas, no one answered the call. Which most likely means they've probably been out of business or something.. Great! Looks like my laptop isn't making a comeback anytime soon.. Now i'll just have to figure something else out..

On the flip side, we at least managed to watch a movie, and i later played badminton with Pris. The day wasn't altogether bad, although everyone seemed missing from badminton..

I thought i wouldn't care and didn't want it, but now i do. How did you do this to me?!

2008-04-25T00:36:00.001+08:00

Crouching Tiger, Hidden.. Entrance?

Why Crabs can't do KungFu

Hmm.. Just how?

2008-04-24T21:31:00.007+08:00

This year, having not done the LAN subjects the previous year, I was forced to do it during the duration of my current course (before i graduate). This semester, the only LAN subject i managed to cram in my hectic schedule was Moral studies. Due to general unwillingness of being there at all, most of us in the moral class ended up criticizing the subject as a whole.

For example, isn't moral supposed to be values that we are supposed to learn? But no.. We learn theories to justify ourselves instead. The major case studies of that would be Egoism & Utilitarianism, which means the best for yourselves and for the greater good respectively..

Now if Egoism was a moral value, wouldn't just about everything anyone does be justified? I mean, lets just say guy A killed guy B because guy B was dating a girl he liked (think King David, Uriah and Bathsheba). Isn't it for guy A's good? Therefore under EGOISM it's justified.. Right?!

Another one would be Utilitarianism. Remember the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? They say that bombing those cities was for the greater good to end the war. Yet, those that were killed by the blast were innocent children, women and the elder people, NOT the soldiers that were fighting or even the people who made the decisions to fight. Which was right?

That being said, kudos to myself for still attending the classes.. Sigh..

Just why am i the only one seemingly going through this? Just wanna give up already.. Maybe i should..

Ookaayy...

2008-04-23T21:11:00.001+08:00

You know how some of us were going to play in the monash street carnival? Well.. not anymore :P Somehow, in typical Malaysian style, we have cancelled :P

2008-04-22T20:52:00.001+08:00

The 'wonderful' situation i find myself in.. Bored and swamped with work.. Absolutely positively wonderfully fantastic!

Ever felt like.. FOOD?!

2008-04-22T15:02:00.003+08:00

Ever felt like a piece of tug rope? A doll between two fighting girls? How bout the last piece of food between Genma and Ranma Saotome? To sum it up.. That's exactly how i feel!!

Tempting really..

2008-04-20T23:37:00.001+08:00

Sigh.. I really think i'm caring too much about it but in either way someone's definitely going to get hurt in at least one way.. Just how did it manage to get this complicated? I think my ambition's just changed.. Sigh..

Need to make up my mind and rethink my stand.. Sigh.. I'm just so tempted to act naive or just to ignore it..

Boredom and phones :p

2008-04-20T18:22:00.000+08:00

My family has this stupid rule about no internet on sundays.. Which is why i have resorted to this; blogging with my phone.. Hahaha.. Yes i'm aware that it costs quite a lot, takes a much longer time (due to typing on phone and gprs general inefficiency), but what can i say? When you're desperate, you're desperate! So what am i doing now? Lazing around, staring at my phone typing? Well, yeah.. Basicly, the rain outside has already dashed my hopes of getting out of the house and my usual talking buddy's MIA (probably fell asleep after sms-ing me.. Poor me..). So here i am with my last resort..

Sigh.. Nothing much has been happening lately (depending on how you define 'nothing') apart from the usual assignments and all.. Other than that, life's just thrown in a whole new wrench into a certain part of my life, with the potential to make it either more entertaining or infinitely more complicated.. Exciting huh? More like pity those involved (hopefully not including me of course =P). In any case, only time can tell what will happen next.

Another day

2008-04-18T12:25:00.002+08:00

You know the bad thing about another day? Another day means another lab, another lab means another lab report to pass up and another one to start. Another lab report to start means that you have another experiment (most of the times multiple experiments) to do. All of which leads to more work. Especially if its a Friday (which just happens to be today), and you just want to leave uni and kick back and relax. And yes, that means i have yet another *surprise surprise* bio lab report to complete, one that has 3 or 4 parts to it (can't remember) plus another chem lab report that i haven't started on yet. Life's good isn't it?!

On the other hand, i've probably completely recovered my photomania, resulting in about a dozen new photos from the chem and bio practicals =P Will upload soon just as soon as i manage to fix my laptop.. Which probably won't be awhile.. Sigh.. Oh yeah.. In case you're wondering.. Yeap, my laptop's out of commission.. No thanks to a mixture of Windows and Lenovo efficiency.. I'm actually typing this in uni..

Anyway, wish me luck! We (as in the band) have an audition today at 5pm for the Monash Street Carnival..

skipping :P

2008-04-16T12:13:00.005+08:00

Yup, I'm skipping :P Well, really skipping. Skipping as in skipping, skiving, 'ponteng', playing truant.. why? Because Bio lecture sucks.. And when i mean it sucks, it really sucks. Sucks as in the 'put you to sleep' type of sucks. Our second bio lecturer has a gift; a voice that can put hyperactive kids and mischievous monkeys to sleep. Normally you might see this as a good thing, but unfortunately due to the fact that she teaches biology, a subject that's already normally boring? I'll pass thank you very much.

Other than that? I've come to the conclusion that Monash Malaysia probably has the worst work load compared to all other universities throughout the world. Or maybe it's just the science department of the uni. Sigh.. Why do i think that? It probably has to the with the fact that i, throughout the past month or so ever since the uni started, have had a minimum of 2 lab reports, a presentation, and usually a couple of assignments, get this, EVERY WEEK!! That's just FREAKING FANTASTIC!@!@$!%@^$ Get the sarcasm?! Sigh.. I should have just stuck with music..

On another note, i probably should change my blogskin.. it's been so long since i have.. Too bad i'm too lazy =P

:P long time no see! i mean literally.. Not even bothering to open my blog site for what? 2 months? Hahahaha.. But seriously, you can't blame me.. I MEAN SERIOUSLY!! For the past month or so i had about minimum 3 assignments a week.. seriously.. So many things have happened that i've no idea how to even start! Therefore i shall not! Well.. maybe unless i'm feeling extremely, and i mean extremely, bored..

2008-02-15T14:07:00.005+08:00

I hate it! I hate being stuck in Malaysia, i hate being stuck in my house, i hate being in front of the computer with nothing to do! I hate all the arguments my mom's just strings in front of my face and expects me to be quiet and accept it as truth. I hate not being able to do what i want or need in any situation now that i'm back in Malaysia. I hate leaving the place i considered home, eventhough it was only a year.. Evenmore i hate the stupid situation i got myself into by going back.. But the worst is, i hate that i can't seem to keep grudges..

somewhat dead?

2007-12-05T14:16:00.000+08:00

Haven't really bothered to update in so many months, and in honesty so many things have happened until i can't really be expected to type them all down. So, in short, i'm back in Malaysia earlier than expected, suffering the increased humidity. Less than a week, and i'm already broke.. Wonderful ain't it? So people in Aus, i'm not there anymore.. In Malaysia, call me~! i'm still using the old number :P

Investigators probe factory fire

23rd October 2007, 12:00 WST

Investigators will today try and establish the cause of a multi-million dollar fire at an air conditioning factory in East Victoria Park.

The blaze, which began at the Milford Street property about 5pm yesterday, injured two workers who were taken to hospital for treatment for smoke inhalation and minor burns.

Thick black smoke that poured from the factory reduced visibility for motorists, causing heavy traffic congestion on nearby Albany Highway.

A FESA spokesman said the fire continued to burn through the night, causing parts of the building to collapse and making it unsafe for fire crews to enter the building.

Firefighters were this morning forced to use breathing apparatus to quell a flare-up in a fire which broke out at an air conditioning factory in East Victoria Park yesterday.

A strong easterly wind sparked the flare-up about 5.30am.

After putting out the fire’s hot-spots, fire crews doused the factory for an hour to ensure no further outbreaks.

“We still have some hot-spots because of the partial collapse of the building,” the spokesman said.

“Heavy machinery will be required to clear out the debris, and then fire crews can move in with hoses to extinguish the last of the fire.”

Once the site is declared safe by engineers, investigations into the cause of the fire which caused an estimated $7 million dollars in damages will begin.

PETER KERR

Ahh.. So that was the smoke i saw near my place..

EXPLOSION!!

What's your measure of success?

2007-09-19T13:26:00.000+08:00

In a fast paced world where every thing's changing in a blink of an eye, from stock markets to births and deaths, this world is just so unpredictable. Really, it isn't surprising that we seek security in our lives, be it in the form of relationships, religion, money, property or so on. But on the other hand, when these things don't work out, it leaves behind wrecks, former husks of many people, those unable to leave it behind to move on. Those able to move on however, will become stronger, more able to overcome what's placed before them in this gamble of a life.
What should we place importance on? What do we really want? Nowadays, there's so much pressure on young people to excel and be successful.. But what is success really? What's your measure of success? This scale differentiates from person to person, no one's exactly the same. How can a person change the world?
There's been many examples of people who've single-handedly changed the world. Look at Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, the people who've went against their society's expectations and triumphed. People who changed the world. What makes them so different? Well it's definitely not education! Albert Einstein wasn't exactly a good example then! He quit high school early and failed the entrance examination for uni(or something like uni). How bout Thomas Edison, to whom the Edisonian Approach(trial and failure) was named for? What must it be then? The willpower to continue, to move on and to succeed.

Letting go is easy, living with your decision is hard.. I've already started regretting.. Is it really worth it?

Just.. just..

Man.. these last few days? Just depressing.. Everything's depressing.. From the weather to the tests these week, right to the exams coming up in two weeks time... sometimes you just can't muster the willpower to go on.. What's keeping me here? No idea.. Spent the whole day today sms-ing trying to find someone to take over my shifts.. Problem is everyone seems to have exams this whole week.. Ah.. Another 2 more months.. Hurry up!

Last week..

But doing: Blogging? duh!

Hmm.. Last week was actually really busy.. What with the river cruise and Grace ball.. How to describe them? The river cruise was sorta fun(notice the sorta).. Somehow it was lacking something(no idea what..) and i'm still waiting for the pics(Joy.. Hurry up!!)..

Grace ball? FUN! Hahaha..

PROS:

The food was great,
the people were great
Seeing everyone "glam-ed" up
and the dancing was great..
Lots and lots and lots of pics taken(not by me though)

CONS:

Everyone hates it when someone wears the same dress as them don't they?
Complains about shoes(from girls) were common that day..
Sore feet the next day

Overall, it was great.. And yes in case you couldn't guess.. someone was wearing the same dress as me.. I have the rights! I bought it a month plus earlier than her( but she was ok)! Some of us actually also went for kaeroke right after Grace, can you imagine us walking around the nightlife area in ball dresses? Cause that's what we did~! Can't tell you how many people asked whether there was a wedding.. And yes, by prediction, the next day, my feet, just hurt, really,really,really like hell.. But yeah still went for badminton :D i'm crazy.. i know!

Pics to be updated soon!

Went for salsa class on tues.. I'm hooked.. Seriously..

It's nice to note how different people in Australia is sometimes, especially when compared to Malaysia. Yesterday i took the wrong bus(well.. right bus but it terminated before my stop). After the driver dropped me off at that stop he terminated at, he actually came back to send me because he remembered that the next bus was not for another hour. Really hard to find people like that isn't it? If i was back in Malaysia, the bus driver wouldn't even spare a thought for you, much less drive you out of his way(oi.. saya stop di sini lah.. cepat keluar![translation:I stop here.. get out!]) Malaysian drivers just have no conscience..

Talking about Malaysia.. Happy National Day? Merdeka? Oh hell.. I'm in Australia.. Can't get to see the 50th merdeka celebrations? But really.. it's sad.. Malaysia still seems like it's backsliding.. They say they're doing something to stop corruption(and many other things..), but i guess they got bribed? Hard to say.. Malays still reigning "supreme" after all.. And it's my dad's birthday.. Irony really.. A couple of years back, they sent him an invitation to dine with the Agong[Or was it the prime minister?](Merdeka baby and all).. Only setback? It came 2 weeks after the actual day.. Stupid right?

Today at work, someone assaulted another person! As in right in front of me!! One guy just suddenly pushed another guy against the wall n punched his face, making the nose bleed.. Ouch.. I later found out that the attacker did that just because the other guy flashed his lights at the back of his car in the drive thru.. Doesn't really seem to make sense does it? People now these days.. so unreasonable.. Maybe he was partially drunk? The manager called the cops and all.. Later heard that the guy wanted to apologise to the other fellow..

An all together OK day today, contemplating skipping ELACS again due to a certain teacher being present.. Still deciding on whether to or not to send a prank present to someone.. Teeheehee!
Started work early again because someone didn't show.. so from 5.30pm until 12am.. A whole 7 and a half hours of work.. Not too bad rite? Had fun teasing a fellow workmate after seeing him an a girl walking together in the city ;P Btw.. Thanks to Chris(Not that he reads this blog) for actually driving back to fetch me even though he could've just went home earlier :D Oh and i like his car! :)

Gosh, another post! I just couldn't resist.. I mean it's not everyday it happens afterall.. Have you ever done this? You just read someone else's blog post, and this unexplainable feeling rises out from you. All the sudden you feel like laughing! Well, have you? Hahahaha.. Seriously, i just couldn't help it! I mean you wouldn't be able to help it too if you read that person's blog! Number 1, it's just so self-centred and shallow that it's funny. Number 2, it seems like it's competing with some unknown 3rd party, trying to see who's better. Number 3, the killer, the person's spelling and grammar's atrocious! And here i thought blogger has spell check! Hahaha!

Really.. These few days have been so blank for me, sometimes i would just space out, not knowing what's going on.. And seriously, i can't really be bothered to put any more effort..
Have you ever been blamed for something you didn't do and had no control over? And no matter how much you explain they still blame you? Sounds horrible right? Come to think of it.. I was at the receiving end of that a lot this week.. Not only from customers at McD but also other people.. Geezz.. Can't they stop?

PS: I'm hungry, but can't eat.. Why? Cuz then later i won't be able to fall asleep..(Not fair!)

A couple a days ago in the bus i overheard these 2 guys discussing about how the fall of man in the bible was all Eve's fault, afterall she picked the fruit and ate it, giving it to Adam as well, leading him to sin. Thinking about it, it never ceased to amaze me about how throughout the ages men always blame her for doing that, never thinking about her intentions. This kind of thinking always seem to be brought over top their own relationships. Whenever something wrong happens they straightaway blame the woman. eg: the girl is a player, led me on, doesn't care.. Is me or are guys more and more sensitive(emo) nowadays?

Blackmail?

2007-08-17T18:38:00.000+08:00

Blackmail is useful.. Bribing speeds up response! Hahaha.. Recently tested out this theory on my little(maybe not so little) brother.. And boy, does it work! Since learning that my baby bro has acquired a gf.. My sis has been nagging him for a pic.. Guess who won that fight? ME!!

Step 1: Threaten not to bring chocolates from Aus back.
Step 2: Start hinting on the stoppage of video game supply.

Ever planned to do something earlier in the day and later find out that you forgot to bring something that was essential to doing that something? Sounds convoluted? Really simple really.. I forgot to bring the paper for my inclass math assignment!%^&*^*&^##$%@ And it's supposed to be done on monday!#&^&*($%@# I think i'm losing my mind! Gaining klutziness and horrifying bad luck on the way.. Can't tell you how many accidents i've experienced in McDonald's lately.. I've horrified myself.. Knocking over at least 3 drinks in a week.. AAAAHHHHHH!!! It's not my fault! Really it isn't! The drink just happened to be there! Evil conniving drink!

On a separate note.. Gonna cook something for cell later.. Hopefully they won't die of food poisoning! Jeez.. I'll just leave my assignment until tomorrow! So herei am sitting in the library blogging cuz there's nothing else to do.. Sad..

Of all rotten luck...

In the modern times, we often have gadgets that take the place of many gadgets, in other words multipurpose gadgets. One of the best examples now is the handphone. We use it as a calendar, alarm clock, to call and message plus other uses depending on the different phones used. Of course it was my rotten luck that i left my phone in my manager's car when she was sending me back yesterday.. Not to mention that eventhough i set the alarm in my other phone, the bloody phone's battery died though the night! The result? I slept until 4pm the next day, missing the ELACS asessment and the whole day of school.. The Pros? I finally did my grocery shopping! Hahaha.. Not to mention the nice long sleep!

Bleekk.. My cousin's been listening to M2M the whole day.. It might be fine, but he's a guy! Hahaha.. And it's getting annoying! I came back from grocery shopping and it was still playing the same album from the time i left!!

Apparently..

Earlier today we were doing a class test in human bio when suddenly there was this loud crashing noise and the rain came pouring down with violent winds.. At least i thought it was the rain.. Apparently according to a couple of people, there was also hail.. Belle told me that Semi saw it while Leo picked it up and threw at someone else(after the short storm of course!) Ahh.. the wasted opportunities.. i wanted to see it!! WAAAAHHHH!!!

2007-08-04T19:59:00.001+08:00

It's weird but i've been thinking a lot lately about the past, regretting it.. When i look back i see so many chances missed, so many problems that i should not have run away from. But even with all the sadness and pain, there've been so have joy too, many times that i would not trade for anything else. Yet there's so many times that i feel like i would trade everything just for it not to end.. Makes no sense does it? However, looking at my life now, i think it's good that i went through all of that(well.. maybe not all), even though i still don't want it to happen..

Buying a dress for a ball is never good news.. Especially not for the guys who you drag along, or your purse which feels so empty afterwards. Which probably is worse? Being a girl, i choose number 2. It doesn't really help that dresses in Oz is just sooooo much more ex than other countries like Msia. This ball better be worth it!!

Today marked the start of the exams(Mine finishes at tuesday.. HAH!!). Despite all that it's still really laid back. Right now we've just finished Math(a four hour break before ELACS).. In fact we even played bball(Belle&I) before going to the library to study for ELACS

I've officially decided that guys take more time than girls. Belle and I are currently waiting in the library for two very late guys. Waiting.. waiting.. We're gonna give them the evil and exasperated look when they finally arrive.. YERRKKK.. They're still not here!!

What if..

A rather amusing conversation took place today in math class, Net got traumatized, even Cameron(victim #2) joined in baiting her!

Us[(class)especially Cameron]: You're the best teacher!

Teach. Caz: You do know your nose grows bigger with lies?

Cameron: Ah, but mine grows bigger with the truth! Look at it!

Teach. Caz: Your nose is fine Cameron.

Net: Yeah look at mine! It's huge!

Cameron: Nah mine's bigger

*Gets into some argument about whose nose is bigger*

mE: Now imagine if you and Cameron had kids!! The possibility of you guys having big-nosed kids are probably around 90%.

Net: Ewww!!!

Cameron: Big nose gene is recessive though.

mE & Net: It's dominant!

*Gets into family history of who has big noses to determine the possibility of having big nosed children(Net being disgusted and morbidly curious at the same time)*

Just shows how much Net is into studying doesn't it? Oh and we were supposed to be revising during that time. Most of it ended up being used to make jokes. Especially Cameron and his lame ones.

Stupid Telstra

2007-06-24T15:55:00.000+08:00

For those who don't know, the bill for my phone has been at least 100+ every month. All thanks to Telstra, the officially most expensive plan(except maybe vodaphone) in Australia. A few days ago the breaking point has been reached, the problems in the phone i got from them escalated. I had to send the damn phone in and they wouldn't let me quit the plan!! How long have i had the phone? 6 months? Anyway, I decided to quit telstra anyway and take up either optus or 3. Eventhough i had to pay about 29 bucks a month for 18 months. Again.. Stupid telstra. It took me 20 minutes plus on the customer service line just to report it! Again they kept shoving me from department to department! ARGHH!! To think they pride themselves on customer service! That's it! It's Optus from now on!

In anyway, i've been without a phone for a few days now until a couple of minutes ago. Joel kindly ~~borrowed~~ lent me his phone. (Always had a problem with those terms..) Thanks Joel!

The weather in Perth seems like its getting colder and colder every day, with freezing winds blowing, stealing what little heat you can feel.. Everyone's been wearing about 3-5 layers of clothing except for the resident cold-bloods.

Exams are looming closer and closer, an ever growing threat. 17% of the grade!

Looking out my window,
I see the trees swaying in the wind,
the sunlight like rays upon the earth,
multitudes of faces passing by,
too many to remember, to count.

And I start to wonder,
thinking about the lives we live.
What is our reason for existing,
for continuing to walk forward?
Why do we live?

We each hold something dear in our hearts,
something that we protect and love,
something that we would sacrifice everything for.
We might not realize it,
we might not understand.
But one day, we'll see.

2007-05-29T21:29:00.000+08:00

Some of my relatives(mom's side) from Sabah have been in Perth and staying with us(My cousin and I) for some time. It's a bit weird, especially since i'm so used to staying alone(my cousin doesn't really count) and depending on myself for quite so time. Suddenly i haven't been needing to worry about lunch or dinner and the light's on when i'm back late. It's kinda nice in a sense that someone's actually watching out for you, but on the other hand, i just can't stop myself from counting down the days till they leave. Good luck to me..

Interesting Conversations..

2007-05-27T17:35:00.000+08:00

These days we(Belle, me, Aileen) have talking/insulting/puking about a certain person. It never ceases to amaze me about how we can be so morbidly interested in one person. But on the other hand, how could we not? It's just so.. Eww? Hahaha.. I actually held back judgement about that person, thought that person was nice even, right until i saw.. 'His' friendster and blog.. I'll never understand how a single person can be so vain and self-praising, yet think and say that they're humble.. Yuck, just yuck.. And the worst thing is i can't stop reading it and laughing at the same time. It's even starting to scare me(that and 'his' grammar and spelling, it's laughable)..

Random facts - My younger days

2007-05-26T16:37:00.000+08:00

1. When i was young, i really hated my parents for sending me to chinese school when i couldn't speak chinese at all.. Leading to me being one of the few english-speaking people in school, which also led to few friends or sometimes none, and a horrible memory of primary school.

2. I hated pink because my sister liked pink. (I was a kid then!!)

3. I had to be coerced into practicing piano.. Even then i took nice long breaks inside my practice time..

4. I avoided(still do) homework as often as i could.

5. My siblings and cousins would always gang-up against me when i was younger(i was the eldest amongst them), yet somehow i would always forget that and forgive them within a few hours.

6. I always sought acceptance and attention when i was younger, probably because i didn't really have anyone who spent time with me. The 1st time i went out with friends was when i was 13?!(in secondary school).

7. I think the reason i started dating was because i felt lonely, not because i liked those people.

8. I always envied my sister when i was younger. She had so many friends and was always well-liked. Now i'm glad i didn't grow up with that, because then i'm not so influenced by friends(in the bad way)

9. I hated my appearance. I was slightly overweight with long messy hair, wearing my mom's old spectacles(gold.. blekk..). That made me really self-concious and shy because i didn't understand why no one wanted to become friends with me(that could've been the language too)

9.i) I hate my chinese name, why couldn't it be pretty?

10. I hate my childhood. But i realise it has shaped me to become the person i am today. I wouldn't change what has happened to me.

Dissection!!

2007-05-25T17:11:00.000+08:00

Hahaha.. i just realised about the number of posts i have about dissecting.. We've done the brain, eyes, heart and kidneys so far..

Can you find the names of 25 books of the bible in this paragraph? This is a most remarkable puzzle. Someone found it in the seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping himself occupied for hours. Roy Clark studied it while playing his banjo. One man from Illinols worked in this while fishing from his john boat. Elaine Victs mentioned it in her column once. One woman judges the job to be so involving , she brews a cup of tea to help calm her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot... That's a fact! Some people will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. The truth is from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar for the difficulty we have. Those able to find all of them will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation may help, books like 1 Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers, and punctuations or spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete. Remember there are 25 books of the bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph.

My answers are in white. Highlight the area below.. However i only found about 23 of them.. Find the rest for me!!(answers in bold..)

PS: Stolen from my cousin!!

Today..

2007-05-23T20:52:00.000+08:00

Had to wake up early today again to collect the parcel containing Aileen's b-day pressie from the post office. Fortunately, it was warmer this morning compared to yesterday, if not i would've become a top-selling Popsicle. It suddenly rained after i collected the parcel, and stopped 5 minutes after it started.. Talk about freaky Australian weather.. I took a large detour with the buses(took 2 buses from the Park Shopping Centre, 220 to Victoria Park and 75 to school) ending up almost 10 minutes late to school.. Luckily for me, Chris(our replacement ELACS teacher) was only discussing about the movie "Bend it like Beckham"(we're watching Titanic tomorrow and Bend it like Beckham on Friday.. Yippee!!) and hasn't started with the essay test yet. Other than those situations, nothing really spectacular happened today, other than winning chocolate with my group's overall triumph in Badminton!! (the chocolate only lasted a minute!)

Aileen's B-day!!

2007-05-22T22:49:00.000+08:00

To day was Aileen's B-day, so we (quote) "silly people surprised me with a birthday cake and food! Love all of them!"(Aileen).. So anyway.. I stole quite a few pics in the end.. And here's the result!

Su Ern: Who STOLE MY CAKE!!! (murder-mode! o.o")

Group pics of the "silly people"

We were bored! yup! -.-

BRRRrrr!!!

Every morning, for the past week, i've been waking up to freezing cold water(while washing up la!) as well as my breath condensing in the air when i walk to the train station, not to mention having to wear about 3-4 layers of clothes everyday.. I can just barely drag myself out of bed every morning.. Not a good sign i'm sure.

Besides that, i've been spending hours everyday trying to find sheet music.. Well, free sheet music. Especially for pieces i've played before. All these effort just for an audition which is still far back in october.. Aii.. i've to wake up early so i can walk to the post office tomorrow before school and still catch the bus on time. A story to tell another day i'm sure.

Uhhuh..

2007-05-19T20:27:00.000+08:00

I'm broke.. Flat broke. I knew i shouldn't have gone shopping today, but i went anyway, found this great dress, but still!@#$!#@#! EEeekk.. On the way back, after exiting the train, i incidentally met up with Ivan and Frankie. They insisted on carrying my numerous shopping bags for like 5 minutes before boarding the bus. Was there any point in it? Hahahaha.. Thanks anyway guys..

Hahaha.. Anyway, i was reading someone's blog this now, and with that person's image and voice in mind.. I just couldn't believe what that person blogged! I mean, i know the person, but what that person writes and what this person is like is just like two different, completely different things! Sure the writing style is the same(I can hear the voice right when i'm reading it) but everything seems so exaggerated! Exaggerated.. Hmm.. Umm.. On second thought, it's definitely that person. Yikes.. Scary.. *Shudders* I'm definitely either going to get nightmares or will continue reading it for laughs..
