Fire and water

Okay, so its corny that my past tile is about ice and this one is about water and fire. So elemental la wei.

Part one: Fire

Yesterday, being home alone, my room mate and I decided to go against our parents' advise and play fire.

With candles la duh. We arent THAT dense.
I suppose since we didnt celebrate the mooncake festival properly, this might suffice =)

I had taken alot of pretty pictures but am too lazy to upload it.
Perhaps I'll upload it on multiply or something.



Part Two: Water

I should make it a point to visit a waterfall for every semester break.
Today I visited Gabai Falls which is located somewhere in Hulu Langat with my ex-housemates.

Fortunately for us, the water was clear and cool.
best of all, the place wasnt really crowded (maybe cause its the puasa month)
despite the very steep and tiring climb, it was all worth it as the place is unspoiled.

I hope it continues to stay that way.
A warning though, the toilets there are really nasty.
They smelled like something had curled up and died in the toilet bowl.
All the toilet bowls were unwashed.
UGH. Pet Peeve!

Thats all for today. I am really too tired and wanna just knock off to bed even though its only 8 pm. Cause I need to wake up at 4 am tomorrow morning for camp. Thus, dont even bother hoping for an update for the next four days. Death threats and blackmails will not be entertained as I wont be bringing my handphone or have access to internet. Thank you very much.

Thats all la. You are now free from my nonsense for four whole days, so show your thankfulness by hugging the next stranger you meet randomly on the street and tell them you hugged them cause I told you to =)

So what are you waiting for.
ISH dont procratinate la people, go find a random stranger to hug.

bye!

A girl takes a cautious step towards an unfamiliar territory, a hand holding on to the metal rail beside her. She takes a little step with one leg. Braving herself, she took another.

She didnt fall down. (whew!)

Steadying herself. Fighting the adrenalin,shutting off the noise around her, taking yet another baby step.

She moved.

She then tries to glide on the slippery surface. Pushing one foot in front of another.

Slowly,she gains pace.
Slowly, she passes the people in front of her.
Slowly, the cool breeze starts to get stronger as she takes bigger braver steps on the unfamilar territory.

She loves it. The cool breeze in her face as she navigates around the rink. The liberation the skates bring. The freedom of moving around-she thinks it almost like flying. To let loose and just let the breeze take all your worries off your shoulders for awhile.


Yesterday I went ice skating with my classmates at sunway.
We skated from two to six i think.

This is my second time.
The last time I went ice skating was in primary 4.

But thank god I knew how to rollerblade since primary one.
both are pretty alike

=)

Cherish the simple days

I hear you say, "how's the holidays?"
and now I think I can hear myself say "not bad"

Seriously it aint bad despite me sitting at home all the time. After the excitement of the last semester, I think I deserve some quietness.

Some people might think that silence equals to loneliness.
I think this is just probably the greatest misconception ever.

You see, I know some people who are so afraid of being lonely, they stick to people like superglue; talk like machine guns, only pausing to refill their bullets before continuing, rattling on and on like some sort of radio. Heck, some people even like to pass up their daily report. Like seriously, how interested can I be when you tell me that you brushed the same teeth, combed the same hair and took your bath in the same toilet today? Surprise!

And when you decide to avoid talking to these insecure people, they'll tell you that you are so anti social.

like HUH?

Dont get me wrong. I like talking. But I also value having my own space. Silence is golden sometimes.

I took alot of pretty photos today. Here's my favourite. The model is my sis. I bribed her =p


Underage drinking doesnt get you anywhere. haha!

Living in denial

Before I proceed. Let wikipedia help me explain what denial is:

Denial is a defense mechanism in which a person is faced with a fact that is too painful to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.

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

Explaining done.
Lets continue.

Please people if you hate to read, please dont continue.This is going to be one of my full blown karangan like entries. So kindly click on the top hand corner of the monitor, on the little red box with the x if you arent up for some heavy duty reading.

This is a topic I had wanted to blog about for a very very long time. Yes, it has been a long time coming cause I just simply couldnt put my thought into words.

Maybe I was also in denial. Hmm..

All my life I had been faced with people living in denial. Now,if they were people whom I dont know and probably dont give a damn about, it wouldnt have mattered much would it? But unfortunately for me, I seem to have this thread of destiny which causes me to always have to meet with denial striken people.

And you know whats the worst part is?
They dont even realise they are in denial.

So how in the world can you possible tell them?

A: "eh, kawan."
B: "Umm.. yes kawan apa hal?"
A: "I think you are living in denial."
B: "Uhm... apa itu denial?"

A launches into a tirade of explaination

B: "No I am not! I am perfectly fine."
A: "No your not. Your just in denial that you are living in denial."
B: "[insert swearwords in all languages] Keep your opinions outta my life"


Denial. Its hard to spot but its there.

Its fine if these things happen to people whom you couldnt care less about if they dropped dead tomorrow and get eaten by a pack of hyenas who had been puasa-ing for a week. savage yes, but sometimes I think people are scarier than the hyenas which I just meantioned.

The problem is that I care too much. Probably abit too much for my own good. Even if the matter doesnt involve me, I get myself emotionally involved. I get moody, angry and sad all at the same time. Is it possible to feel so much altogether? Yeah why not? Unless of course you are the kind who have an emotional capacity of a teaspoon.

But after awhile, I have learnt not to feel anymore and play numb.


No Eye Look indeed.

But its hard to control yourself when you see someone who has made a mistake, regreted it, and still for some reason, is on the verge of making the same mistake AGAIN!


What do you do? Do you
a)Think "No eye look already, let them hurt themselves until they are contented. Maybe they are sadists."
b)Put on your wisdom hat and give them a preaching which will make mother theresa proud
c)Stay around with some popcorn and watch amusingly when the shit hits the fan. AGAIN

I'd say I am a frequent practitioner of option a.
I'll just prepare an umbrella so when the shit hits the fan, at least I keep myself clean.

Selfish yes.
But what if its your family members who are in denial?
Great! mei kay, just when you think you have a fool proof plan for combat.

........

Sometimes, I just wanna shake these people awake. Take them by the shoulders firmly and just shake shake shake.

Sometimes, I just wanna yell. Stomp around like a five year old and tell them I dont wanna friend them anymore.

Sometimes, I just wanna use all the contents of my rich dictionary of swearwords on them.

Sometimes, I couldnt care less.
Or I pretend I couldnt care less.

Tell me, how can you wake a person in denial?
but then again, the waking up has got to be done from within.

Haih susahlah.

Eh for those who are still reading this congrats la wei for reaching this far! My respect to you for even surviving reading up to here without even taking a toilet break or something

Or probably there's also another possibility: You are in denial that you are in love with me. haha! =p


As a reward you can feast your eyes on the banner I did today. Love it and I will use it to end all my future posts.

Pre and Post-Examinal syndroms
As seen from picture above.

Pre examinal syndroms has always been vastly defined. However, to date, the most accurate discription of pre examinal syndroms has to come from a dear friend called aimee lee.

Syndroms include:

1)Feeling Ugly
2)Feeling constipated
3)Loss/increase in appetite
4)Loss of sleep


Now, since exams are over, lets try to discuss the after effects of exams.

Effects include:

Phrase one:
This preliminary stage causes sudden feelings of liberation which might cause people to run around and scream happily with silly grins on their faces. No amount of bad news can probably stop all the positive energy a post exam person has. This greatly annoys the unfortunate people who are still taking their exams. Blogger confesses that she hates happy people during exam week. Cause they make her feel more miserable in comparison. But all is well after exam week!

The next step to identifying post exam syndrom is to check their msn nickname. Automatically their nicknames will change from "streessss!! EXAM! diewthwtfdeng!" to "Merdeka!".

The next thing post exam students do is to OD(overdose) in eating and sleeping, organize shop-a-thon trips to shopping malls, run around watching stupid movies which will cause much regret in the near future and if they are rich enough they organize trips to genting in hords.

Besides that they will suddenly feel extremely vain to make up for all the time feeling ugly during the exams.

Following images are evidence to support professor mickey's theory of post examinal syndrom. Those who have weak hearts are discouraged from viewing images as they might be highly sensitive and rather disturbing insights of a post examinal student.


Meet Qiqi. (I do not know her)


Currently I have a fasination with taking pictures of mirrors, which explains the first picture (my favourite) This one shows Sarius being vain.


Baby Shopping in Madam Kuan's, Mid Valley?
Ps: Try their Nasi Bojari. Heavenly!


I should charge people for camwhoring with my phone. I really should. Vyonne's turn to be vain. Happy is no where to be seen.


Qiqi again. (I swear I do not know her! She keeps stalking me!)

Second Stage
After all the lepaking and the over splurging way, one starts to repend and tries to control themselves from going out too much. They will probably find something cheaper to do at home like knitting or watching their potted plants grow or they can indulge in throwing sheep at people in facebook eh sign up la wei damn fun ok? or taking vain lala potraits of themselves to post on friendster.

or they can find a job. duh.

More disturbing pictures. This time it is worse. People with weak hearts who have made it so far, please turn back for the sake of yourselves. This is not worth risking your life for.


A rose by any other name smells just as sweet. I love this picture. Sarius probably counting how much honey/or money she consumed that day.. hmm (Honey freak). Taken in Madam Kuan's who serves plain water with strawberries. like wtheck?


My part time job pays me to poke people on facebook =) The guy in the picture is Ah Choi sitting in a nice showroom..


CuT3 0r n0T? PlZ Le@v3 c0Mm3nT MuaxXxX <3 <3

haha wtf I! this is a combination of boredom + camera + curiosity of how I'd look if I posed lala-ish + some pretty hardcore photoshop.

Ps: I am not lala.
besides,my peace sign look unbelievably like ________ haha.


To regain whats left of my reputation and dignity back, here's a normal vain self potrait!

Stage three
After doing everything above, people start feeling bored and decide to head back home where the bed is warmer, the people are family and the food is better.

Home is where the heart is.
and a family is what makes a home.
although they make you feel shitty sometimes.
you can always rest assure they'll always be there for you.


I think I hear Chris Daughtry singing 'home' in the background. Thanks wen li for fetching me home!


oh yeah! Sam says 'hi'!!

A long journey which felt short
Semester four. A mix of headache and joy.

Four semesters have passed out of the six I've signed up for in my diploma year.
Four out of six.

Please simplify 4/6
4/6 = 2/3

This means that two thirds of my diploma year has already passed.
Like wow. I never expected time to fly so fast. So swiftly it passed, eluding realisation. In a few blinks, I am already bidding a fond goodbye to semester four.

To sum this semester up is not easy. I had my fair share of times when I feel like I couldnt cope with everything life has decided to toss at me. Sometimes I had to reconsider the choices I had made. And for a few weeks regret had constantly haunted me, following me closely in my footsteps. Issues were aplenty. Tempers were short. People were snappy and walked around looking like dying ducks on the verge of their last quacks.

But hell we survived.
I survived semester four.
The rumored toughest semester.
Congratulations to myself!
Congratulations to second year tarcians!

To explain everything in words is impossible. I probably wont do myself justice. Thus may the pictures do half the story telling =)

Semester of cakes



Humans must be very fertile from May to August. If not why are there so many babies borned during this period?

I like to sum this semester as the semester of cakes and birthdays, preferably Secret Recipe. Celebrations were aplenty. Money flew as well. For those who are born during this period and I havent wish you happy birthday yet, I am sorry. I dedicate this post to you guys.

happy birthday to aimee, angelin, mei wei, whatever, wilson, chuan, kiwi, ah gong, happy, char siew, yvonne, yan shan, candy, kah poh, wei lih, alvin, boon king, pui yan, ka cheng, lay jing, ghee how and all may to september babies!

Semester of events



This semester's college events have been numerous. TT night, OO night, Kung Fu night, convocation of seniors congrats!, Orientation week, society day, PR health campaign, and merdeka celebrations.

hmmph. I feel like such a keh poh now.

Semester of killer assignments and presentations


Headaches were caused. Egos and opinions clashed. Tempers were short. People were slightly mad. Quarrels broke. Friendships were put to test. People were tired, frustrated and angry.

Six subjects.
Six presentations. since I had to do the english one twice
Six written report same reason as above
Two assignments MIS and BMP
mid terms...

What a hellula headaches.
But we survived!!

Semester of activities



Meet the people who have so much dedication that they never fail to amaze me sometimes. I admit I got lost somewhere along this semester. And how you guys, being such sports, put up with me walking around like I am already three feet under. Six activities. Nineteen people. We went through hell and survived.

With the passing of my exams, I bid farewell to thee, semester four. You have been a hell of a emotional roller coaster. My source of pride as well of pain. Of vivid memories.

And to reward myself surviving this semester's exams and studying like mad, I now am planning to reward myself by...


reading more!

hahaha! I am such a nerd.
ps: I borrowed the book for tarc library, which is really loaded with alot of good books =) Some are pretty new as well.

Happy Holidays people!~

A lucky combination of numbers
= wrong number

Today after lunch, I received a call from an annoymous 012 number. Slightly irritated due to the fact that the stupid call was made when I was in the process of picking up my next spoonful of glorious tau fu fah, I tried to ignore it for awhile, but heck my roommate's friend shoved the phone into my hands.

So I answered the call.

Imagine my frustration when the person on the other side of the connection was busy talking. Not to me, but to someone else with them.

hmmph.
then it struck me that the guy must have not locked his handphone keypad, cause he dont seem to have any idea that a call was being made.

Amused, I passed the phone to my roommate and her friend.
then I passed it to my other housemate and we listened on their conversation as the third party.



Eventually we got bored cause apparently the people were normal office people talking about boring office things.Then my housemate suggested that we play a little joke on the stranger.

We'll yell into my phone until he hears us.

And so we took turns yelling things like "hello!! Listen! Listen to your phone lah" "oi! Your phone!!!" at the top of our lungs. Until...

Guy at the other end asked the lady he was talking to "eh, is it me or do you hear someone yelling?"

hahahahaha!
the moral of the story: Lock your keypad.

Hari ini dalam sejarah

Menurut kata kata orang orang alim, beribu-ribu tahun dahulu, manusia hidup dalam kegelapan. Sesungguhnya kesengsaraan serta keperitan hidup mereka tidak dapat dinafikan atau digambarkan meskipun dalam gambar atau kata-kata. Sehinggalah turunnye wahyu direct broadcast dari Gua Hirak (kononnye kat atas bukit, reception lebih bagus)

Maka, menurut mereka, masa itulah manusia mula muncul dari kegelapan. Mengikut kata-kata, kegelapan yang paling teruk- iaitu kegelapan hati, akhirnya ditawan. Maka, akhirnya zaman jahiliah. Tamatnya zaman gelap.

Atau adakah manusia masih hidup dalam kegelapan? Adakah kegelapan yang terbaru ini sesuatu tanda akan datangnya kegelapan yang lebih mengerikan?

Hari ini, kita duduk dalam kegelapan menanti doa doa kita dimakbulkan. Menunggu wahyu. Menunggu masa untuk berlalu. Seakan-akannya kita seperti tawanan perang terperangkap, terperung dalam kegelapan. Bimbang, takut. Semua diam, tak berani berbisik-bisik, takut dikejar keluar dari kegelapan yang seakan-akan berlanjutan berabad-abad...

sehingga....

huh?
lampu terpasang.
Dengan pasangnya lampu itu, maka kita kembali ke zaman moden. Tidak lagi kita terperangkap di zaman jahiliah, zaman kegelapan. Tetapi kita tetap terperangkap.

Hari ini dalam tarcian history, kita telah memecah rekod dan menduduk ujian yang berlanjutan 4 and setengah jam.



=) Its been awhile since I typed anything in Bahasa Melayu. Hahaha. If you didnt understand all the zaman kegelapan crap I just said before hand, or is sadly ignorant about human history, I forgive you.

Today is the day DBU students became hostages in our own sport complex. In counter strike language, you can call us POWs as well (prisoner of war). Its sad, to be like sitting ducks for one and a half hours in the dark waiting for a stupid generator. As if it isnt bad enough already that the exam lasts for three hours.

Do the maths: 1.30 hour + 3 hours
Thats how long our butts were attached to the seats.

Why an hour half for a generator?
Search me.

Oh yeah, about the exam.I amazed myself by inventing new theories and formulas. And no, I wasnt sitting for tamadun. I was sitting fot Level three Managing Information Systems.

One and a half hours of my life. Of my youth. Wasted. Just like that, passed in just a pointless manner when I could have done so much. But yet what did I do? I sat there in the dark, sleepy and helpless.

Add another one and a half hours and we'll all graduate with masters.
Ms Pushpa told us before that the MBA paper lasts for approximately six hours 0.o!! The things people do to get their masters.. hmmph.

Joyride

Take me,
on a journey, an adventure
someplace, somewhere, somehow.
anywhere. perhaps far far away.
someday. one day. maybe today?
Take me on a joyride.

Take me,
to once upon a time.
to happily ever after.
to the land of far far away.
Can it be today?
Take me on a joyride.

Escapism is such a beautiful thing.
Remember to awaken from wonderland though.

Ps: Picture taken at Bukit Jalil Station on a cloudy day after a mad dong abandoned me there. I didnt use a fancypants digicam, just my humble SE. It was so empty that I felt quite alone. So surreal. An empty station. Enlarge the picture by clicking on it, see if you can see the words I added =p

Pss: Its been six years after 911. SIX?!! Walao.

Silence of the rain

It rained today.
It is raining today.
It is raining NOW

I like the rain. =)
I like running in the rain
I like walking in the rain
I like sleeping in the rain on rainy days

Rainy days brings back good memories.
childhood ones.

I used to like folding little boats from old newspapers and thowing them into longkangs and watching them drift away as I ran alongside the drain.

Yala, I had very ulu interests as a child.
climb trees, play marbles, run around in the rain with my classmates, catch tadpoles and stuff them into water bottles (teacher thought it was cincau =p) and jamming up the longkangs with my little paper boats.

Suddenly I miss being a kid.
No worries, no stress cause mom and dad will always take care of me.
The price of independence is indeed expensive.

Okay.. lets talk about EXAMS!
Our lecturers always told us to apply studies in our lives right? So I APPLIED MIS in my daily live. Lets see, there's this chapter on System Design, Structured English:

The methods

FIRST:Selection

Program I use when I am sleepy:

IF sleepy
THEN sleep
       get drunk on coffee
       drink red bull
ELSE daydream
ENDIF

When I am hungry:

INDENTIFY hunger
CASE mee
       pan mee
       wok mee
       maggi mee
CASE rice
       chicken rice
       nasi goreng omellette
CASE McDonalds
       double cheese buger and fries and coke

OTHERWISE diet

haha.. but I dont diet!

SECOND:ITERATION

Program we all should have when talking:

FOR talking
      check gray matter
      check logic so you dont appear floaty
      IFFloaty THEN
           shut up until you make sense
ELSE bang head on the table. HARD
ENDIF
END FOR

DO WHILE young
           knock some sense into head
           but dont hurt yourself !
ENDDO

Last one!

REPEAT
        knocking sense into head
        think before talking
UNTIL you start making sense when you talk.

The third method very normal.. like english only.. haha dont wanna use.

You know what? I think the program for talking is an excellent program design. I should apply for a patent.

And you know what? I think I am going mad.

Look

Dont look behind in regret.
Look ahead. Look at the light in front. Leave the shadows behind.

Dont look down at yourself.
Look up. Look into the light above. Look into faith. Leave the shadows below.

Dont look left and right in comparison.
Look at yourself. Look at who you could be. Leave the shadows aside.

They say life comes in shades of gray.
I say, look for the colors in life's shades of gray.

Leave the shadows behind.
Appreciate the colors when you find them.

Just wanna thank those who have colored my life.
your coloring may not be perfect.
but its the colors that matter.

ps: I've given up on the hiatus btw. I like blogging too much. My fingers miss the keyboard. hahaha.

This aint a post

Seriously it aint. Someone sent this to me, I just had to post it cause its really accurate. I had considered all the top 6 subjects which I scored highest in the test.

The biggest irony is that I choose business, which ranks as the sixth highest.

Guys try this out.
Anyway, do tell me what you scored highest at okay?

You scored as English/Journalism/Comm, You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in Communication, English, Film, Journalism, Literature, or Writing. It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it. Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests.
