3 Years

Wow. It has been more than 3 years since my last post.

So much has happened. So much has changed.

Reading back on my blog posts bring so much memories back. Things that I used to complain, I've come to miss them. Back then, I was still a carefree student living the life in UK. Life was simple then.

Just a simple transition from student to working adult, it changes so many things including myself.

I wasn't the same person I was 3 years ago. I don't even know if it was a good or bad thing. But I know the change was inevitable. How can we remained who we were when everything around changes constantly? It just isn't possible. Our priorities has changed. Our life has changed.

It saddens me sometimes to see how different things are now. But I know it can't be helped.

I am still in my quarter-life crisis phase. Still sorting things out. But I know I am going to get over this phase soon. I may be slower than others my age but at least I am willing to make this change. I don't know what the future holds but I know I have to keep on believing.

There's always a rainbow the rain and there will be a pot of gold waiting at the end of the rainbow!

I'm Back!

Yes, I've decided to revive my blog!

I still love to write so back to blogging it is.

Looks like I have a lot of re-designing to do.

Will update more soon.

Stay tune! :D

Lazy

I've been getting even more lazy to blog now that i have twitter.

It seems easier to squeeze out 160words than having to blog.

And as i've said in the post before, things haven't been interesting for me recently.

As i'm typing this, i actually have work to send to my supervisor by tomorrow morning.

Oh, you don't have to guess my progress and why i'm still awake at this hour.

Just to make it clear as well.

I'm not ACTUALLY working on that.

Seriously man.

Someone should guide me to change.

Is there a dummy guide out there to teach people to be hardworking?

Because i can't seem to do that right now and i am desperately in need of some doses of it now.

On the bright side, i'll be going back in another 2months.

BUT not before i'm done with the course, of course.

This is seriously killing me.

Malaysia lost a talent few days ago.

I've always enjoy her ads for Petronas.

They were very touching and meaningful.

Its a loss to the film industry.

-R.I.P. Yasmin Ahmad

Petronas ad for Malaysia's 50th Independence Day
Sending the message not to be racist.

I love the expression on his face when she said he's her bf. haha



Ad for Chinese New Year 2006.
This is my favourite.
All the old ladies were comparing and boasting about their sons and daughters.
Then the 1 whose son is the least successful is the most filial.
Teaching us to cherish our parents more.

Back to reality!

I am finally back.
Was away for holiday and just got back last Saturday.
That explain my lack of updates.

The trip was great and the cruise was FANTABULOUS!!
I wanna go on a cruise again!!!!

Will talk more about it later on. :)

Right now, i have to start working on my research and dissertation. *sigh*
Just met my supervisor today and found out that there are SOOOO MANY things to do but very little time. *SIGH*

I wanna go back to the cruise again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The song...

...that is on repeat mode in my itunes for days now..



Very well written lyric.
Sad but very very true. *sigh*

And i love the girl in the music video. Alice Tseng! She's so preeeeetttttyyy. *jealous*
She's the girl who acted in Jay Chou's movie(secret) and music video(wo bu pei). Oh, and also Leo Ku's music video.

Btw, here's an english translation for those who don't understand chinese. ;)

~~
Show Luo - Gao Xiao (Mucking around)

That tube of toothpaste, smiling mockingly up at me, laughing at the fact that I will never finish it.
Sleeping when I want to. Messing around when I want to. How nice, one less person to scold me.
I bought an extra set of blue bowls.
Forgetting that there’s no one to pull all nighters with me.
As replacements, how many clowns laughing innocently with me do I need
So that I could truly forget how good you were.

I’m mucking around, taking advantage of the crowd, covering over my heartbeats. Half crying, half laughing. Stubbornly saying that being alone is great. When the crowd dispersed I suddenly feel that I would die. I can’t stand it anymore.

Still mucking around, afraid to go home, not knowing how to deal with it.
All those years, I’m already used to having you act all cute. I think I can get over you, but at least let me know if you’re doing all right.

Our puppy’s appetite has become small. There’s always boredom in his eyes.
He’s used to sleeping on the end of the bed. But now, it’s missing a pair of legs.
So he often stares, sleepless, at the door.

I’m mucking around, taking advantage of the crowd, covering over my heartbeats. Half crying, half laughing. Stubbornly saying that being alone is great. When the crowd dispersed I suddenly feel that I would die. I can’t stand it anymore.

I’m mucking around. But in the end, the tears kept streaming down. Your departure, all the things I’ve lost, I’ve lost count.
Finished for the day. Suddenly realising, why should I work so hard? Who am I showing off to?

Still mucking around. Maybe it has a paralysing effect. Sang through the whole night, yet I can’t escape those teary melodies. I mucked around the whole night. Hoping to hear someone mention if you’re well.

I am back!!

I am back safe and sound.
Thanks for those who were concerned.
I wasn't at the place where the earthquake took place.
Times like this makes me wanna cherish life more as you really don't know what will happen next. *sigh*

Anyway, i will try to update soon.
Lotsa stuff happened during the trip.
Too tired to blog now.

Lack of updates

No new post for almost 2weeks now.
Not busy or anything.
I just kinda, ermmm, forget to update.
I actually thought of something to write about few days ago but then i forgot again.
I can't recall what it is now.
Anyway, will update tomorrow.
I hope so. lol!

Pai Ti Kong yo~

Just called my mum and i forget that they have to pai ti kong tonight.
So didn't talk much with them as they are very busy preparing for the prayer now.
And the most important thing is that my mum still remember about the cny cookies. HAHA

I still remember last year a friend said that i did it online at paitikong.com. wtf?! *sigh*
For those who don't know what paitikong is, just go to the link above.
I'm lazy to explain everything again.

It will be my dad and bro's birthday this coming wed and thurs.
Yes, their birthdays are only 1 day apart.
Dad asked if im getting anything for my bro.
I told him no 'cos he didn't get me anything for my bday.
I am very calculative when it comes to this. LOL!

Btw, dad told me that MAS is having promotions now and the flight tickets are very cheap!
He said ticket to UK only cost rm1k+.
And i just checked the site, ticket from london to msia only cost £300.
Fucking cheap man.

So, what are you waiting for?
~~what you waiting what you waiting what you waiting what you waiting what you waiting for~~
Go and book a tic to visit me now!
GOGOGO!!
shoo shoo~~

p/s: i don't feel like going to class now 'cos its snowing. Ugghhh!!

New Year's Resolutions

Ok, i'd never written down any new year's resolutions 'cos i know i can never keep them.
But im going to do it this time so that i can check whether i manage to keep it or not next year.

Resolutions:-

1. STOP PROCRASTINATING!!
this was like on top of my list every damn year and the fact that its still here just goes to prove that i never keep it. *sigh* why am i like that? -_-

2. Work harder! in every area especially on studies! 'nuff said.

3. Stop being lazy.
do some exercise (tummy, tummy, go away!).
keep my clinique 3-steps regime everyday.
apply the damn lotion every night! (my skin is so damn dry right now)

4. SAVE UP!
planning to explore other parts of europe after my course and if im lucky, i can get a new bag! ;)

5. Spend at most £150/mth
this is the continuation of no.4. i have to cut down on all those excessive shopping.
but like rev said there's always the INTERNET! *sigh*
control, wendy. control.
(i actually failed this already but hey,i just make this list today so the few days before this are not calculated. )

6. Explore more of UK
its my final year here. the possibility of coming back here is very low.
it wont be the same coming here as tourist and as a student.

I guess thats all the important ones.
I really, REALLY hope that i can keep this.
*fingers crossed*

So, its 2009 already?!

Its that time of the year again.

Parties.
Countdowns.
Fireworks.
Auld Lang Syne being played, bidding the year goodbye and usher in the New Year.

I was in London this time last year.



I wouldn't say it was a good experience 'cause it was too crowded.
The underground around London Eye was closed 1 or 2 hour before the countdown and only reopened around 1 or 2am (i forgot).
It took me a long time just to get back to my hostel.
The worst thing was, the fireworks weren't that spectacular either.
And maybe i was too far away from London Eye, the atmosphere wasn't that great too.

I expect that people will cheer and wishes people around them "HAPPY NEW YEAR!".
I mean, that's what people normally do and what i did back home.
But i got nothing.
Everyone just stand and watch the fireworks.

Maybe if i was standing nearer to the Eye, it will be better but who knows.
I don't even feel like going there again this year.
Well, i never like crowded places to begin with. *shrug*

So i am now welcoming 2009 in my room while updating my blog.
I.Should.Just.Go.And.Get.A.Life! *sigh*
My life is so pathetic that even i pity myself. *indulged in self-pity*

Ok, enough of self-pity.
What was i saying again?
Ohya, time passes by so fast that its freaking scary.
2008 is over just like that.

My 2008 was not a great one but it wasn't that bad either.
Lots of things had happened.

I had my share of ups --

Visited lots of places in the Europe.
Made new friends.
Experience the student life in UK.

and downs --

Lost someone who is very dear and precious to me.
Someone whom i love and respect alot.
It still saddens me when i think about it.


Anyway, lets all hope that this year will be much better than last.
HAPPY NEW YEAR people!

Evidence of how lifeless i am...

Last night, a flatmate asked me,
"Hey,what plan do u have for tomorrow?"
"Huh?! Tomorrow?! Why?!" *me thinking hard*
"Its Christmas eve!"
"Ohh..OHH! I....I forgot!"
T_____T

Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each and everyone of u!!
May the new year brings lots of happiness to u!

and I bet your xmas and new year will be much better than mine!

First Post!

Its my second "first post".

I had decided to switch to blogspot as i feel that it has more features than xanga.

So remember this site as I will no longer update in xanga.

It had been more than 3 months since my last update.

Friends had been telling me that i abandoned my blog and that i need to update. 

I had been, you know, *cough*busy*cough*. *shifty eyes*

Wait wait. I'm not lying ok.

I was really busy for the 3 months in Malaysia.

Pretty much chilling with my love ones all the time.

Then without knowing it, 3 months is up and here i am, back to Norwich.

So you can expect more updates though i won't say frequent updates. haha

Btw, i know the blog is a lil' bare now. Bear with me for a while and i will try to decorate it nicely soon k.

Update: Finally imported all of my blog posts from Xanga. Yay!!

Hola!

Howdy ppl??
I AM BACK!!!
Im so so TIRED after travelling for so many days..
Walking from morning til night everyday..
But the trip was great..
Great companions..great places..
There were many incident that happened during the trip which i will blog some other time..
I am still not done with my easter trip which was ages ago..
I'll try to blog about it asap..haha

I am nothing but a disappointment

Thats what my current msn nick is..

I am so disappointed with myself..
Always regret when its too late..
I should be ashame of myself..
Disappointing those who believes in me again and again..

I always tell myself i'll change my way..
But in the end, nothing is done..

This time..
I meant what i say..
I will change..
Its a promise i made to myself..
Watch me....

Sick

hey ppl..am back..
the trip was fun.. 8 days went by just like that..time really flies man..especially when you're having fun..
and just as i got back,im down with a fever..
im feeling better now btw..so don't worry..hehe..
will blog about my trip when i got all the pics so stay tune..

btw,Eve had finally blogged about our trip to Venice..hehe..if you guys are interested in reading it,just read it at her blog..luckily i waited for her to blog about it 'cause i can't write it so in detail like her as i forget many of it already..

Just another day

Lunching by myself today. Just found out a new place to dine by wandering around aimlessly. The food's good. Service is good as well. What else can you ask for. Hah..
Consider this as one of my self-pampering day for staying at home for sooo many days.

I had this habit where I'll feel sleepy if I'm too full. Bad bad habit I must say.
It will only add unnecessary fat to some "part" of my body.
I know some of you must be thinking.
"This is the problem with skinny girls. They always say that they are fat when they are not. Are they trying to mock us?"
The answer is "NO". I may look thin but I am fat somewhere where its not obvious to the naked eyes. All my friends know what I'm saying. Its a weird thing that runs in my family I guess. Haha..
*****

The hot topic of the day was, of course, the earthquake. Everyone was talking about it.
Like seriously, earthquake in the UK?? How rare is that?? And how "lucky" we are?? *sweat*

It happened in the midnight. At first, I thought I was hallucinating for being too tired. But when it shook harder, I realised it was earthquake.
Eve asked whether I went out of the house or not. I said no because by the time I started to panic, it stopped.  Reacting  a little too slow I must say.  Haha..
Then she told me that her friend's MSN nick diplayed "Ada orang gemuk berlompat-lompat di UK". Nice one. Hehe..

****
Alright, gotta get my assignment done now. Its due tomorrow.
Gotta burn the midnight oil again. Can only blame myself for procrastinating. Yet again.
Update soon. I hope. 

Its all good

First thing first, my internet is up and running again. No problems for now. Just experiencing some slow connections here and there but overall its all good. Pheww. Guess I complained too much huh. haha. Had a little problem but complain like hell. *smiling sheepishly* 

Its Valentine's Day yesterday. So HAPPY belated Valentine's Day. I know I know. Where got people wish belated valentine but hey, its my blog. I can write what I want. Once again, I'm alone on V Day. I' m actually ok for not celebrating it as I never really had a proper celebration of it before. Don't you think that V Day has become too commercialized nowadays. Flowers, food and stuff are charged way higher than they normally do. So I strongly object people buying me flowers on V Day as I think its a complete waste of money -- I sounded so not romantic. haha. I mean seriously, a RM1 rose becomes RM10?? I would love to receive CASH instead -- now I sounded damn realistic. *laugh* BUT I don't mind receiving little surprises every once in a while. 

However, being able to be with your loved ones (be it bf/gf/family/friends) is considered the best gift. I think. haha. It makes you feel blessed. contented. loved. I know I am blessed with many wonderful people who loves me. *beaming* So no matter who you are, always remember that you are loved by at least 1 person. Makes those who are still SINGLE feeling alot better isn't it?? is it?? *wondering*


****

Today is also the ninth day of CNY meaning its the Jade Emperor's birthday aka Ti Kong Seh (hokkien). So last night, almost all the Chinese Penangites that I know will Pai Ti Kong (praying to the Jade Emperor). Correction, Buddhist-Chinese-Hokkien-Penangites. haha. This is because its more of a custom of  Hokkien people. ( I have to explain a little just in case people who don't know about it come across my blog. haha) You will hear the sound of firecrackers everywhere. Sugarcanes at people's door. Table full of offerings. Every family members will be home. In my case, my parents will have steamboat where their friends will come over to join us. Of course, there'll be gambling involves. Its CNY. Who doesn't gamble? The prayer will only starts when the clock strikes 12.

Its actually kinda fun. I remember looking forward to it every year when I'm young (actually still do). haha. I missed it for 3 years now I think. Too bad.

Anyway I was left speechless by SOMEONE last night. 

A : What are you doing now?
B : Online lor. What else?
A : Ohhh. You online Pai Ti Kong is it?
B : Your head laa
A : What website? Is it Paitikong.com?
B : =_="'  *speechless*

Ishhh.. I know I don't get to pray and you are having fun there. You don't have to rub it in.

My mum called me too. Chatted for a while with her and my dad. It seems like the topic of the day is my bro's new gf. hehe. Speaking of which, he's now in Koh Samui. I've been wanting to go there with my gang for so long now but always plan tak boleh jalan. Nevermind, we'll go when I'm back k. Deal? 

First Entry

Finally!! I'd decided to blog. "To blog or not to blog"?? Been thinking about it for several weeks. I mean like I enjoy reading blogs but me, myself blogging?? Hmmm.. There are so many factors that make me feel not to:-

1. My "GOOD" english 
2. My "Oh-so-interesting" life
3. My laziness (I don't think I will be updating regularly)

But then think again, I don't intend to be a professional blogger and I think CONFIRM that the readers will only be my friends so who cares bout the english, my boring life and stuff right?? The main reason that I wanna blog is that I seldom get to chat with my buddies nowadays so I guess blogging is another way to let them kaypo keep up-to-date with my life now. So HERE I AM!! Creating myself an account. Btw, WELCOME TO MY BLOG!!!
