First Post of 2008 whey!

Happy new year folks!
Yes, its official. Its 2008!
And since I last check the world hasnt collaped,
the internet lines are still working,
and terrorists havent decided to bomb our neighbourhoods.

In fact, the clock reads 12:15 as I am typing.
I can hear the fireworks whizzing away and going off in the distance.
All night people have been asking me the same question on msn:

"eh did go countdown?"
to which I have provided the perfect answer:
"my new year's resolution is to be a good girl this year. Need to start practicing now."

First song of the year: Goo Goo Dolls's Better days cause the lyrics seem rather auspicious and appropriate.

The first thing I did: this year was to open up an account on deviant art.

=)

Yay to me!
Somehow I feel good for accomplishing something on the first minute of the year.
hahaha!

And of course what is new year without resolutions?
This year, I'll not be long winded and bore the pants off of you guys. So I have put my resolutions in drawing. Unlike my crazy past resolutions, my resolutions this year are pretty simple and rough. Not too easy, but somewhat obtainable. I just hope I have the determination and not procrastinate.

Here it is!
Now go crack your heads figuring what I drew. HAha.

bigger circles signify bigger priorities, meaning they are more important.
Wanna go out yum char with housemate now.

Happy New Year again!

TULAN

Just masuk, copy and keluar.
And I think I did horribly in the coursework.

I need divine help.
I need it now.
Quick, get me some colok!

3days later...

Ok not so shitty cause we'll be tested on the back chapters only.
And coursework stands around 40% of the results.
Which everyone did resonably well thankfully.
whew!
This paper is a good chance for everyone to aim for A!

2days later...
Commercial Law of Malaysia.
Great la, give us history,
which requires memorizing,
then throw us law 2 days later,
which requires MORE memorizing!
I can almost hear my serebrum screaming.

NEXT DAY
Basic Management Principles.
Coursework I scored ok enough.
But still,
quite alot of things to remember.
Scared my brain scarred from all the memorizing from history and law
then shut down cause feel too traumatized and overworked.

then five days later
Business Economics
I like economics.. but
of all days in the year!
why must it be on the
29th JANUARY 2008!

For two years straight somemore.

despicable.
ran out of words liao.
argh.. fuck.

I'm turning 2 decades old next year.
dah la traumatizing enough to lose that "teen"
gimme a break la people.

.... please?

Hello to my dear friend: skeptic.

"I wandered through fiction to look for the truth, buried beneath all the lies"
-Sam and mikeala's theme, GooGoo dolls, Transformer original soundtrack.

Fiction. Objects of fantacies. Of imagination. Of dreams and hopes. Yup, most of the time unreachable and oh so unobtainable. Yet, dont we all wish to escape into the very depths of fiction and live happily ever after like some of the characters from the gay fairytales which our parents made us believed in when we were young? Even if the spell only lasts for awhile?

Wake up and smell the fresh java my princess.


Facts. Is reality. The truth of life. And most of the time, they arent pretty to handle. Like cancer, it manifests in time and slowly but surely devours you from the insides, eating your living self from inside out until you are too weak to cry out for help. Eventually you let out a feeble squeak, shudder abit and dies like that frog you dissected for biology in secondary school..mati katak appropriately put.

I have always been cynical at heart. Oh yes, the skeptical one. Even when everyone else was shaking hands and agreeing happily on something which they think is great, I'd still be the last one in the room to agree. That is if I agreed anyway. hmm...

If there was a one to raise their hand during a wedding when the pastor said "speak now or forever hold your peace" I might stand a higher chance of raising my hand to object.

So forgoodnesssake people, think twice before inviting me to your weddings.
But if it is MY WEDDING, I'd throw the pastor's book at whoever who dares to object ok?

Dont say I never warned ya :P

Recently I have become less cynical. And less critical of things around me. And it feels kinda great when you arent so hard on yourself. But then again, when you expect less, you get less. You slack and get fucking demotivated. Its like someone came along and sucked out all the spirit in that sponge of yours. and yes, I have become more irresponsible in the process and a serial ffk-er. (fong fei kei)

what happens to a dehydrated sponge. hmmm....
To the nice people of my life: Sorry. I am such an idoit. I probably dont deserve to have such good people around me. Such long suffering souls you are, to be able to put up with me. Or maybe its bad karma or something.To be destined to meet me? Anyway, This has made me conclude that god is a pretty cool dude as well. I wonder if he gives out autographs?

I seriously need to find a balance.
Can someone please feed me with a health dose of skeptism and optimism?

Sorry if I had to hit you with something so deep at the end of the year. lol but I just had to get it off my system.

What I did for christmas this year:

1.Windowshop
2.Windowshop
3.And windowshop somemore.

I like to look at the decor at Shopping malls.
=)

To prove my point?
Neh, see the evidence.

Windowshopping at KLCC.

At Penang. Aimee, the tree and the G-spot.

Also in Penang.
Forget whats the name of the mall already lah.

Windowshopping at One Utama.

At Sunway Piramid.

Mid Valley when the decors arent fully up.

At Pavillion. The carolling there is good!

They carol on the trees ok! So cool!

OK. I wont play dumb and say that I didnt buy anything. That'd be plain ridiculous lah. But for some reason I 've turned sissy this christmas and ended up with dresses and skirts.

*shrugs*
no idea why.

Dress 1

The retro one.

The skirt only. I had that top for ages please.

Believe it or not, I got all of these and a pair of heels from nose for below 100 bucks.
teeehee. Congratulate me!

mom, please dont kill me if you happen to read this.
You know I'm planning to get a job for the holidays!

Anyway, went countdown-ed in Sunway with my classmates. In pic: Mei See, me, Qiqi, wen li and li ching. The guys were too busy checking out the chicks there. Especially meng loon haha. Denis missed his alan. And qiqi's bf was the photographer. Jian Hong and his friend disappeared that time. Wilson was probably checking out the mei meis too. And Chun yih and choi were too camera shy. haha.

Was it fun? I think just ok only la. Maybe cause everything was planned last minute and there werent enough sprays to get around. hmmph.

Random:
This is my dad's christmas sms to me:

bite the neck gently
chew the breast softly
spread the legs slowly
and suck the juice excitingly....

thats how you should enjoy your christmas turkey.
Merry Xmas! :)

The message sounds so so wrong for some reason lah. Yeah, you didnt read wrongly, it was my dad who sent me this.

-.-'
people around me are weird.

Merry Christmas!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I see in shows
Where the santas are moody and children naughty
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas sms I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

My favourite chirstmas song :)
White Christmas.
remixed abit lol

I know its impossible to be able to get a white christmas in Malaysia, but hey, at least let me hold on to one stupid childhood dream :)

Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Going Retro
Retro 80's- A photoblog

Whhosh. I swear I can almost hear the time just fly by and before I knew it, its already FAU night 2007 which was held yesterday at the dance room at the college hall with this super theme called retro 80s. Congrats to ka cheng and puiyan!

And unless you have the mental capacity of a micoorganism, you'd probably guess what the dress code is like. haha. :D

This is a photoblog. Thus be thankful you are spared from my (sometimes) lenghty and panjang posts. All taken with my handphone, cause apparently my family's digicam doesnt like me very much.. also cant rule out the possibility that I am just too plain stupid to know how to work it. Or both!

Anyway, enjoy la.

sissy (kinda retro) shoes

Blast from the past.

haha. love this pic.
Guess which one isnt an 80s child?
Yes.. apparently someone is born in the 90s.

Gosh, all of a sudden I feel so ancient.

Camwhores annoymous.

Please keep them away from mirrors and cameras.

chinese yoyo yo!
who says they arent cool?
Its super addictive, entertaining and is great exercise to the arms!

I wonder if I can ask santa for one of these for christmas?

Early present exchange.

the number of pins I had stuck in my head.
22 altogether wtf.


Candy, its been great working with you for the past year.
You've always been the stable one between us. Like an older sis.
Hardly judgemental and oh so patient with all the nonsense and trouble I tend to cook up.
All the best to you.

One of the highlights of Nite is the installation of the new exco board. So yeah, all the best to exco board 0708 =)

neh. exco 0708

Let me intro to you: the Vice chairperson and chairperson 2007/2008.

pretty good looking pair ya?

Hmmm.. i suppose that's all. The rest are just too camwhorish anyway. And darnit, I cant seem to get the song viva forever outta my head now since I heard it last night. lol.

Au revior then.

Down Lebuh Kenangan

Haha. Mengapa bukan Jalan Kenangan? Cause I noticed alot of Penang roads use the name Lebuh instead of Jalan. Even small small roads. Weirdness.

I'm sorry to disappoint you folks but this one is random street photography full of old men, aunties and bulidings. Yeah, they arent even handsome old men or sophisticated old ladies or super chun-ted buildings. Just everyday life in Penang. So shoo if you are hoping for pictures of lenglui or lengzais. Darlings, you are better off googling porn instead lah.

Happy-ness is just a happy mart away

Komtar- Standing tall amongst all the heritage around

Eloquently decorated. Campbell Street Mall.

Why "Mall"? Good question.

The way to the island of great food.

Without unity, this would never be possible.

Entertainment. The cheap and simple way.

Barefoot chinese chess for the trishaw uncles.

This aint all, cause the digicam KO-ed on me. Will have to try to find a way to get it done. But wont be posting them liao. You guys probably had enough of Penang after this post already.

Anyway, I suck at understanding mechanical stuff.
Haih.

Syok = Damn good feeling

Travelling is such a weird thing you know. I used to detest travelling to Penang with my folks cause mainly all they did was to

1.Go find relatives which we never met in years and have the same comments being thrown at me "wah, kaykay so big already wor! Last time I saw you, you were like THIS tall!" Ish. Then la datang itu semua classic questions. "eh do you have special friend already?" with a wink.

I normally just feign ignorance and tell them that all my friends are special.
haha!

2. Go pray
3. Go Temple pray
4. Go butterfly park for the thosandth time.
5. Rush around like mad but dunno go where. So very weird lah.

This 48 hours shown me that travelling with different people brings out different outcomes. At least, like what Aimee said, very hard to find realible non-sissy travel mates.

I mean, would my folks
1.Take me to Love lane and to get chased by ah guas?
2.Find the G-Spot Its not what you think it is people. Go find G-Hotel and ask lah. I am serious.
3.Eat portions of food which can last us 3 days normally in one day?
4.Read the karma satra out loud to me?
5.Say perfectly normal things that sounds so wrong all the time?
Answer: nahnahnahNAH.

Anyway, speaking of syokness, whats penang without the food? I'll spare you of long explaination and let the pictures talk to you.


Asam Laksa near Kek Lok Si. Kah Hoe looked like he just discovered christmas, chinese new year, hari raya and deepavali ALTOGETHER.

Popiah goreng also near kek lok si. Asam Laksa stall's neighbour. Super. And affordable too.


Yi Pin said he found his true calling with them burgers and proclaim them to be the original crabby patties. Wait til he tells his mom he wanna flip burgers for a living. Store located at Batu feringgi, one of the lanes around the Toy Musuem there.


Hokkien mee cintan. Not bad la, but have eaten better.


We ordered this twice. Heavenly fried oysters. Around the place where we had the hokkien mee. Its in the town center near the road with 9 banks.



Chee Cheong Fun with loads of Hea-Ko. Yum! McCalister Rd. The kuey teow is also not bad lah.


Ho Chiak sticker spotted at Ampong stall near Jalan Bangkok there. Good. Good. Good.


Mee Goreng with Indian Uncles which speak good hokkien. damn. Mee goreng was oklah. Not as amazing as the asam laksa or burger or cheong fun.


Angelin love for roti bakar is the same with her love for angmoh men. hehe. But I love this stuff as well la.. yum. Nothing like them anywhere.


Damn I'm already suffering from withdrawal sympthoms of Penang food. Thank god for Tambun biscuits =)

Instruction: Decrease dosage as sympthoms fade.

Alot of nice scenery photos. But malas to upload la.. next posting la.

From Left: YiPin, Angel(ahemahem), Me and chin Hong

They call this ANTM-ing.

ah wong, me, chin hong,yi pin and aim. Just because its called banana boat and is shaped like one, it isnt vulgar.


Easily impressed people dressed like its the first day of CNY. Volkswagen makes people happy =)


and the "lovey couple" as described by ah wong to me. Aim and Kah Hoe

Thats all for now lah.
More pictures coming up next post!

Running around in Autopilot mode

Everytime I sit the monorail, I would have this unusual habit of staring at the drivers seat, especially when its on autopilot mode. I have no idea why, haha maybe its because I have do not have enough trust in machines and have the constant fear that the damn monorail will lose control, run off its tracks and er...fly.

Anyway, while staring at the driver's seat and just thinking about all the things that have been happening in my life recently, I came to a conclusion that so far, most of the things in my life have been decided on autopilot mode. Its as if I had decided to be lazy and just let things take its natural course. The come what may attitude. Doesnt mean I dont try, just most of the time I dont know what I am doing everything for or lack the focus to continue what I have initially planned. I let things get to me too much sometimes.

"times are hard when things have got no meaning"
appropriately sung by Oasis in their song Stand By Me.

I am so changing the settings on the way things will be running now. I have grown too reliant on autopilot. From now on, I'll take control of my own life.

I hope I can do it.
For now, all I can say is Focus, mei kay. Focus.

Blurry

Lately I have been thinking alot about the future. More precisely, mine. Perhaps this has to do with the fact that the year is inevitably coming to an end.Its also because that I will be finishing my diploma studies in a few short months.

Its amazing really, how time seem to have flew by. Its like, one minute I am making new year resolutions for this year and the next thing I know, I am walking among artificial snowflake covered plastic trees in malls, all of which is decked to perfection. Soon, we'll be seeing skinny oriental looking santas walking around asking us whether we have been good or not this year.

eh, I havent even started working on my resolutions and you tell me its december already?

Have I been good?
Have I did my best?
Or did I just procrastinate the year away?
only to dig my heels deeper into the ground when people tried to help me?

I dont know really. I just dont.

I began this year optimistic, got my head banged halfway through, stumbled around like a drunk fairy penguin, dazed but nevertheless conscious, sat down, thought everything through, and woke up.

Its kinda like a bad hangover after a party. I think.
I dont knowla, I havent even been drunk.
Let alone have a hangover.
Anyway, just a figure of speech.

santa will be so proud of me =)

Although the road ahead is still rather blur, it is clearing up rapidly. I think I can find my way. I hope I can. It matters notla, the most is I bang my head again, have a good laugh over it, and continue.

I am being superbly optimistic lately.
I think I like it =)

And you know what?
I also think I need to sleep.

Ciao then.
