Project 365: 119/365

Man this is so sick!

Ok I just started blogging not long ago so I don't really have much readers yet. Maybe just one wtf hello there #soulmate!

But these two days I've gotten the highest blog view from my entire blogging history!

As you guys know, two days ago I've invited my jimui Sushii to be the model of my Outfit of the Day post. This is because I've ran out of inspiration for the moment and needed something to keep my Project 365 running before I admit it is an utter failure.

One of the posts is about Sushii's debut news and another one is her debut itself.

And both had 60 and 62 blog views respectively (hover over to view the image)! How sick is that!

All my brilliant posts about partnership and equality, difference between motivation and discipline, social media rage etc etc had only like..pathetic 10 views? (Btw since the links are already here, might as well just click inside and read right? Hee)

So guys, seriously?

But I guess I've successfully explored a new path for my blog eh?

Project 365: 118/365

Here comes my 'Outfit of the Day' post!

Today my model is Sushii aka jimui aka angel!


Thank you for doing this and thanks for saving me from the lack of inspiration wtf. And my fellow other jimui-s, you guys are next.

So here it is, my super model jimui's Outfit of the Day!


This is actually her OL look hahaha.

Ok so let's do this.

Her top is a boring white long sleeve blouse. Paired with a fitting green short skirt and a boring plain black heels, there you have a perfect office outfit for the day. Lololol she's gonna kill me.

My point is, sometimes simplicity is beauty. I love the fact that she doesn't put on heavy make up and though reluctant but would take down the ridiculous sunglasses when we asked her to, and still look pretty as ever. I love that dressing up is an art, simplicity is one of the dress-up art that we must embrace.

Guess she nailed it huh?

*high five with sushii*

Project 365: 117/365

Ermahgerd I find it very hard to come up with a post when there is absolutely nothing going on with my life.

Why am I not as pretty as other bloggers so that I can do "outfit of the day" post and introduce my fashion point of view also! Stop looking at me with your despising expression tqvm.

The evidence of me failing miserably trying to display myself

But luckily, I got super model friends!


Say hi to Sushii! She agreed to be my model of "outfit of the day" woohoo! But since she is tired of partying too much wtf she can't send me a proper picture that shows her outfit today. Nehmind fellas! Stay tune for my next posts because it's gonna be legen---------wait for it----------dary. Legandary. Kinda losing the ohm wtf.

Hi everybaday! I'm Sushii! #mimick-her-tone wtf
Thanks babe for doing this for me. Speaking of this, I kinda miss you and others. =(

Anyway fellow readers, ARE YOUE EXCITED?

Project 365: 116/365

This is specially dedicated to my friend, Preyah for her wonderful wedding! All pictures are taken from Yee Mun aka the photographer of the day!

I waited so long to post this because I was waiting for the photos to be up and NO I'M NOT BEING VAIN hahaha because I wanted the photos to show you my gorgeous friends and the beautiful wedding.

To be honest, me and Preyah weren't super close or anything (except that I kinda copy her homework all the time during secondary school but I bet she wouldn't remember hahaha eh I remember all my friends who lent me their homework one!). I was flattered that she personally messaged me at fb and invited me. That was really nice of her and I felt really honored to be invited.
Their beautiful wedding photo! Also my favourite! 
So on 15 December 2012, which is also a Saturday, I came back from PJ to Ipoh just for this wedding. Apparently most of us also did the same for her. Some even came all the way from Johor and Kedah and we actually have to leave on Sunday for work on Monday. I guess none of us wana miss this =)

Before the wedding dinner, I was a bit panicky because I didn't know how to go there and I don't know who's gonna be there so I wanted to go with friends to avoid feeling uncomfortable #socially-awkward

I think it is very nice of Yee Mun that she fetched us all who had transport problem (or in this case, needed companion HAHAHA) to the venue. We were all staying at completely random areas and she didn't mind travelling to all possible directions (north south east west you name it) just to bring us to Preyah's wedding (and letting us in her room to see where she stored her precious items *wink*) Thanks Yee Mun!

One of the things I love about Preyah's wedding (other than the beautiful deco and the food LOL) is that we all got to meet up and reconnect. The best part is that I got to meet my bestie back in secondary school (who never jio me out and whom I never jio out hahaha)! It was a real happy moment for me but we didn't really talk much (maybe because she was busy taking picture of herself she is not much of a talker lah) T.T Still it was very happy for me to see her again.
Say Hi to Janice WYY!
This group of friends is not my usual gang in secondary school but most of them were my homework lender HAHAHA. During the wedding, it was kinda like a mini high school reunion for us. We made fun of each other and took ALOT of pictures together. Some ex-schoolmates that I thought I would never meet again were there for the wedding.
A proper one!
Yo YY! Candid shot doesn't mean hair pulling time!
Ok serious again! 
Hi Thiro! My long lost ex-classmate!! =D
If you noticed, we took alot of pictures WITHOUT the bride hahahaha and this is supposed to be her wedding LOL.
Gorgeous Preyah and the Groom!
This is my first friend's wedding and honestly I couldn't handle wedding moments. There were a few special moments when I (and Yee Mun!!) wanted to tear because it was very touching. It takes a lot of courage to get ourselves ready to start a life with another person. When I saw Preyah's smile, receiving blessings from everyone of us, I felt so happy for her and wanted to cry but that crazy girl WYY kept doing nonsensical shit and distracted me from that atmosphere hahaha.

Anyway, to the girl who has the same birth date as me, I wish for nothing else but happiness for you. Thanks for putting up such a beautiful wedding, giving us an opportunity to meet and come together to give you our blessings. 


Congratulations on your wedding and have a long and happy future together! =)

Project 365: 115/365

Here comes the mainstream the-world-didn't-end-you-idiot post!

Meh. I think the haters all around the world will do it for me. So no end-of-the-world related post!

****************************************************************
Yesterday I went to The Top Drop to drink till I drop before the end of the world support ma man for his caroling performance (hover over the link to see the picture of the pub which is NOT taken by me LOL). I brought camera but I enjoyed the music more than anything so I didn't really take any picture except for this crappy one:
I instantly instagram-ed! Gedit? LOL
I kinda like the environment there. Nice design, superb live band, awesome drinks.

But now I'm wondering whether there is any conspiracy to make the lightning so dim that it makes people blurry and tend to drink more to stay alert?

I see what you did there, fellow pub/bar/club owners.

Project 365: 114/365

So one day le me was feeling awesome, and saw a post sharing contest posted on Nuffnang's Facebook to win Les Misérables movie ticket for Thursday night. Since bf got nothing on Thursday and he'd be around, I went on sharing the post and fill up the contest form hoping to win the ticket.

That's when my luck got sucked out entirely T.T

I was refreshing my hotmail for like 10000000000 times every minute until 3pm in the afternoon. So I was feeling a little desperado and went checking all my other emails also (not that my winning email will be sent there coz I entered my hotmail address in the contest form).

Seriously, if there's a time machine, I will go back to the time I opened my yahoo mail which I have not been touching for 10000000 years ago and stop myself. But yeah. No time machine. So, jokes on me boo!

The reason why it sucked so much is that I found this in my mail: (hover over the image)

I'm well known as the financial wrecker. I will never be able to save money because if I have extra in my hand, I will spend it without hesitation. Of course I'm not proud of that. But now I'm really sibeh poor and I haven't been saving any money since I started working on October! Where got extra money to pay PTPTN! * instinctively hide my new shoes and bag*

So eventually I found out that I was supposed to fill in the email address I used to sign up for Nuffnang account. Since I entered the wrong one, I was automatically disqualified. Boy oh boy..that escalated fast.

Anyway, dear Miss Norziana, my pemantau kesayangan, please go easy on me and saya ingin mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih atas dedikasi anda lololol.

Gone are the days...when I was not burdened with tens of thousands of study loan...*sigh*

Project 365: 113/365

Karma has landed on me!

Just when I was wondering why the Malaysian bloggers now only do advertorials and they blog so little, I realised I have 10 posts due!

Imma clear it this week itself! #challenge-accepted. Or not. LOL

I actually have a few things to blog about, for example the wedding I just went, the book that I'm reading, the drama that I'm watching, the jokes that I heard, the shit stuff I went through. But recently I felt as if none of it matters, if the world's ending on 21st December 2012.

AHA! Damn right I'm writing about the stupid end-of-the-world shit and you're reading it!

Honestly I dunno if the world is gonna end on that day because I'm just too damn lazy busy to read about it.

Last last weekend, I went back to Ipoh and haz sisterly time with my jimui-s. After getting lost and wandering around standing in front of random shops like idiot, we found Zakka Loft exactly like how Bobo described but we didn't believe! Hahaha!

Taken from Sushii mia Instagram HAHAHA
Nice place but got limited choices of food and a bit pricey. #aunty-tone

The point is, we talked about life, as always HAHAHA.

My first thought about the end of the world is that I'm not ready to leave this world yet. I wana build a family with my partner, I wana take care of my family and make them proud, I wana contribute to the society and show people money and glamorous is not what we should go after, I wana amend a few broken relationships, I wana see my kids grow up and be a great person.

There are so many things that I haven't do!

But then wc changed my mind about this. Living up to this point of our life is already a privilege. I am blessed enough to be living through 22 years without extreme crisis. I found my partner at the age of 18, I have a bunch of jimui-s like real sisters I wished to have (like literally. I literally wished for sisters before I blow the candles off on my 9 years old birthday cake. And my wish came true =D). I got to learn, I got to know the world, I met a lot of different kinds of people, and I really appreciate every one of them.

So if the world is gonna end on 21st of December, man oh man, I have no regrets. My life is indeed an amazing one!

What about you? Comment comment!

写写散文#2

又是一个下雨天。

我讨厌这样的天气。那么阴,那么冷,那么黑暗,那么无情。

那么的容易牵动我的情绪,那么的像你

雨天让我的卑微无所遁形。想捂着耳朵,不要听到雨滴重重地打在地上。它仿佛是在告诉我,我是输家,我已经被俘虏了。我什么也不能做,只能坐在那里听着大自然对我的嘲笑。

最讨厌的事,应景的眼泪总是在这一刻不争气的流下来。曾经对自己承诺,不要为她/他流泪。结果滴滴答答不停下的雨,像是给了泪腺一个节奏,带领它们一起落下。

就像冲破了我最后一道防线,让我彻底崩溃。

在这个时候的我,完全失去自主权,只能无助地承受雨天带给我的绝情。

可是,我知道,在雨下得最大的时候,就是雨停的时候。

也是彩虹出现的时候。

也是大地焕然一新的时候。

也是我心灵被洗涤了的时候。

更是,我成长了的时候。

谢谢雨。谢谢你。

Whoa I just wrote a post in Chinese!

Sorry my dear English readers! I just wanted to try something else and so I wrote a little something in Chinese. The summary is basically about a person not getting any response from another person. LOL sounds so dull in English.

Anyway, WHY NOBODY PRAISE ME FOR WRITING SUCH AN AWESOME SHORT STORY IN CHINESE, GIVEN THAT MY CHINESE STANDARD IS ONLY UNTIL STANDARD 6?

WHY AR??

Project 365: 110/365

写写散文#1

人,或人生,充满着五味杂陈的感觉。
上一秒,你以为你已经解脱了。
下一秒,现实就以最狠的方式来告诉你,“小屁孩,你以为用双手遮住眼睛,就可以假装痛已经不在了吗?”。

这一击就可以重重地把你打倒在地上。然后心底最深的痛仿佛渗进了血液,身体的每一个部位都开始痛了起来。

你以为你真的避得过吗?

人生就是这样。
想抓住的,永远都抓不住。
想放开的,永远都甩不掉。

不想痛了。可是能说不痛就不痛吗?

不想再被一个人牵动你的情绪。可是你能不在乎他/她的一举一动吗?

他们说,时间是最好的解药。时间可以冲淡一切。也就是说,为了你我还得牺牲我宝贵的时间。那到底还有什么,是我自己的?

解药,我等不及了。如果可以在你眼中看到我的身影,哪怕只是那不屑的一秒,我就可以忘记那些痛。

虽然痛还在,至少我忘记了。

可以吗?

Project 365: 109/365

Hi all! Sorry to be so freaking annoyingly mainstream, but, IT'S 12.12.12 YO!

What extraordinary thing I did on this very special day, you asked?

Absolutely nothing.

I went to work, trolled around in the office, came back and watched my first episode of Running Man and couldn't finish my dinner coz I was laughing too damn hard, and then got stood up by bf because of a bunch of disrespectful scumbags who delayed the whole caroling practice, so I'm here sulking alone writing this nothing-special post on this special day.

On the other hand, I'm extremely grateful for being able to live and witness this awesome date coincident. I guess the babies who are gonna be coming to this world after 12 tonight would be like "aw man fml I missed 12.12.12 and I can't live for another 1000 years to witness this again!". Don't be surprise if they cry harder than any other babies who were born before tomorrow, for they are one unlucky batch HAHAHA.

Seriously man this is awesome. My loved ones are healthy and happy, I am obese healthy and happy, I had chocolate for dinner, and I have internet. This has gotta be the awesomest life ever!

So what are you grateful about on this day? Or are you grateful at all? HAHAHA

Project 365: 108/365

I'm inspired by my friend for leaving hateful comment about me being a sexist on fb HAHAHA.
And my reply was "chill la bro why so se-rious" HAHAHA I'm the worst conflict handler lololol.

This inspired me to blog about a conversation I had with colleague few weeks ago. He gave me a reality check and I was exposed to a whole new world of men-women relationship.

As a girl, I believe when there's a guy in our life, we are being sugarcoated by words like 'oh I will take care of you for the rest of your life!', 'oh I will help you with housework' etc etc. And I do believe guys grow up having the perception that they are to provide for the family and protect the family (and that's hot *wink*).

Girls are taught how to do housework even at their young age. In this modern era wtf I'm using high school essay language, we are to juggle between work and housework, constantly struggling which to put as the priority. Not saying men don't need to do the same, but it seems that women are under a higher extent of social pressure when it comes to this matter. I'm not talking about how men feel ok I'm just saying about the amount of social pressure put on both sexes.

The dynamic of men-women relationship is reaching a neutral zone where men are involved in house chores (which is originally women's duty) and women are contributing in providing to the family (which is originally men's duty). I think this is an awesome change but do we all know why is it awesome? My colleague was right. This is because we've changed from playing-our-own-role to partnership!

Do you know what's sexist? Sexist is those who think despite being able to do beyond our 'designated role', we're still bound to our duty. For example, a working woman thinks she is to keep the house clean for her family to live in, to take care of the kids and guard them from disturbing the dad etc etc. Or a man feeling insecure when the wife earns more than him when he's supposed to be the 'provider'.

Every person has different potential and talent, far beyond our own imagination. We could do so much better than we already are. This has nothing to do with gender. And what we do should base purely on our passion and interest. A woman who loves being a stay home wife should be a stay home wife because she loves being one, not because this is her duty. A man who wants to provide luxuries to the family because it wouldn't mean anything enjoying alone, not because he's entitled to provide.

In this case, my friend who commented on my status was very right about this. Why must guys be the one who buy things for the gf? Why not the other way round?

So except for accusing me for being a sexist (I am so not! I don't even do housework! Oops. Too much info. *zip*), my friend's comment is actually awesomely wise. Kudos!

Project 365: 107/365

I've never been the most disciplined person in my whole life. If you've been living with me or know me very well, you know I normally take things easy until the very last minute. Or I just don't do certain things that I have to do until I really need to get it done.

I believe one of the most common excuses given is "I have no motivation lah" (Excuse Malaysian style).

The thing is, if we are driven by motivation, that would mean we have no discipline.

Discipline is when we are ABLE to push ourselves to complete things that we need to do. It is our mind and willpower which is doing the trick, not motivation and any other things. I googled did research a little bit and found that this article talks about self-discipline the best! Also this is the first article that appeared after a wikipedia article upon googling 'discipline' HAHAHA.

Funny how I thought discipline is about being able to do certain thing consistently. I guess I learned the word 'discipline' together with 'study lah why you never study as hard as your friend! people study everyday you know?'. So I grew up with the impression that discipline=working hard, and knowing that I am not a hard worker, I often gave the excuse of lack of motivation to dodge pushing myself a bit further. (sidenote1: boss, if you're reading this, some awesome people say it's better to hire a lazy people than a hard worker because lazy people tend to possess bigger talent in innovation and I believe this is what you're looking for. So please don't fire me tqvm)

So saying I'm lack of motivation is equals to saying that I'm just damn freaking lazy to push myself to do what I need to do, and that I have zero self-discipline. (sidenote2: when I say I have no inspiration to write blog I meant it and it has absolutely nothing to do with self discipline wtf wtf wtf)

Also, when it comes to having self-discipline, we need to recognize whether our effort is really self-discipline or just motivation.

What's the difference, you asked?

Ok let's see. I love writing. But I can't write everyday (provided that I do have alot of inspiration) because I am just too damn unmotivated aka lazy. So I make this Project 365 to help myself to develop a writing habit by writing everyday. Me being able to write everyday is driven by Project 365, which is my motivator. Another of my motivator is that I've publicly declared I would write a post a day, so I have to do for the sake of not looking like a loser who can't keep her promise (and I really can't hahaha).

Remember I wrote about a speaker flushing his money to punish himself for skipping his planned task?
That's another motivator for him to be able to carry out his duty.

But ultimate discipline is when I am able to write everyday even without this Project 365 as my motivation. My willpower is the one which is controlling my action, not motivation. It is when we don't need a motivator to motivate us. It is when we are driven by passion and determination to get things done.

Honestly I'm not sure what will happen after my post 365/365. But I'm sure if I'm still able to continue blogging, I have grown as a person. And that's definitely what I want.

See y'all soon! As in tomorrow!

Project 365: 106/365

Whoa my level of shallowness has reached a whole new level!

Few days ago we went for a movie named Life of Pi wtf I officially declare myself as a lady of shallowness.

I watched it on 3D and the effect was overwhelming! Whenever the freaking tiger roared, I'd get a shock of my life, accompanied with a mini heart attack HAHAHA.

At the end of the movie I was like, wtf? So this is it? So literal and boring?

And then I went home and posted on my fb:

How wrong I was!

Today I went out with jimui-s to Zakka Loft (awesome place!), had dessert and tea, and discussed the story of Life of Pi. Wc told me the true interpretation of the movie and I was so awed by it! I felt ashamed for judging it so quick and underestimated Ang Lee's awesomeness.

I will talk about it real soon after I finish reading the book version of it to confirm the interpretation. So fellow readers, go ahead and watch it! Then we can discuss about it afterwards ma.

Now Imma read the book so bye yo!

Project 365: 105/365

Are you familiar with the concept of opt-in and opt-out?

For formal definition you can refer to ICO's site. For human word a more comprehensive explanation, here's a situation to help you understand. Suppose you've received an email from an unfamiliar company introducing their product/service, you read it and delete it, and the email didn't bother you. Then you keep receiving emails about updates of that product/service until you feel annoyed receiving 'em. You want a way out. There's a link for you to unsubscribe the updates. That's called opting out. Another situation is that you've stumbled upon an interesting site and you want to subscribe to their updates. That's called opting in.

In other words, opting in is completely up to you to decide whether you wana receive updates from a site, giving them your permission to put your email address on their mailing list. Opting out is more like putting you in their mailing list first, without your permission, and give you an option to unsubscribe from receiving it.

According to privacy law, opt out is a MUST-HAVE option for those companies that chose to do marketing by sending mass emails without the permission of the targeted audience. If they don't, they'd be violating privacy.

I guess most of us are familiar with receiving spam emails and shit. All we need to do is just clicking the 'unsubscribe' link and it'll direct you to the site that confirms you'll not be receiving their crap again. Of course it depends on the content of the emails la. If it is those emails where your friend watched some porn and accidentally clicked something wrong and it automatically sends emails that contain link to viagra wtf to all the contacts, of course you can't opt out to that HAHAHA.

There's a situation I find tricky because I have no idea how one can opt out of it. Seriously. When your fb friend started doing business on fb, USING THEIR PERSONAL PROFILE, not having the courtesy of creating a special page for it for people to like or unlike, what are we supposed to do? When we log in to check out how our friends are doing, we'll have to endure countless of statuses about the business flooding our news feed.

After giving it a serious thought for a few months, the best solution is:

*click* *choose unsubscribe from this friend*

Done.

For the sake of opting out from the dreadful business statuses, sorry pal, I don't mind missing your REAL personal status update. Hope you'll get a page soon but till then, sayonara!

Project 365: 104/365

I finally finish reading The Legend of Zhen Huan (后宫.甄嬛传) woot woot!

I read it because I wanted to know what's so special about this story that everybody liked it so much.

When I was reading I was thinking to myself, wow the difference between ancient time and modern era is so big. In ancient time when there's no freedom of speech, no nothing, people fought at their best for love, relationship, talent and justice. But now that we have all the freedom in the world, we pushed away the things people fought for during the ancient time.

So it's another night of zero inspiration. So why don't you check out this website for the list of the most popular Chinese songs this year and vote for those that you like?

I voted for Aaron. No doubt. HAHAHA! And also Lara, S.H.E & William Wei (韦礼安).

Night y'all!

Ok so if you've been following my blog or know me personally, you'd know I have weight issue.

Project 365: 102/365

Two posts a day? I'm on fire!

Just now le bf came online so I went to say hey. Like literally.

And this is what happened after the hey.

Reading guide: Blue is moi, Orange is le bf.

HAHAHA! Made my day!

Btw, Deb just confirmed that the sms scam stuff is a thing! Because she said she's gonna use it against me and risk her whole life being tracked down by the bank for misusing her skills wtf what on earth am I talking about hahaha.

Well, hope you had a good laugh. I know I did. =D

Update: Btw, yea my bf's avatar is Aaron. So what! #max's-tone HAHAHA

Project 365: 101/365

OMFG I have 7 posts due!

Hi fellow readers! Or just Deb wtf. The reason why I haven't been blogging these few days is because I was busy with work (the truth: I am still not done reading the novel). I was either out or really busy with work (the truth: busy reading the novel & watch drama), and I have no inspiration HAHAHA so whenever I log in to my blogger I'd just go blank and serenely close the window, pick up a cup of tea and continue reading my novel (the truth: there is no tea involved).

But I'm back! Because at a stormy night with thunder and lighting (chinese: 在一个雷电交加的晚上), le me had a nightmare about people bitching about me failing my Project 365, only to wake up to a cruel reality where people REALLY DO bitch about me failing my Project 365 (the truth: I really am talking about you ar #soulmate HAHAHA fyl). The nightmare is true shit btw.

So today I had two mind blowing moments with two awesome people. First first, I went to client's site with my colleague. Which client, you asked? I can't tell. But having the opportunity to go to this client's place is really great because at one point of my life (as in primary school time wtf) I was very proud of my Chinese language proficiency that I wanted to work in that field. 10 years later, this client never change a bit and I don't mean it in a good way. So there goes my dream of being in that field (hahaha I know it could be confusing that you duno what field I'm talking about..but you know..just some random field..hahaha).

Something is wrong with their database so my colleague came to their rescue and I was just being an observer aka useless person wtf can't even proudly say I am an intern and come to observe things anymore T.T. He had a plan of how to recover their database but it wasn't working, and worse, the person in charge was sitting beside us watching everything my colleague did. He didn't panic or anything, but calmly checking their database to see if there's any alternative. In the end he did it earlier than the client expected, and he purposely wanted to troll them by teaching me stuff first before completing the last few steps of his work HAHAHA.

Fml lah when I was doing some insignificant work at client's place and the person in charge there watching me, I also felt panicky and perspired under my armpit wtf. Knowledge and skills really do build up a person's confidence level (which is directly correlated to armpit's perspiration level #truestory.jpg). I wana be like my senior one day! #naive-tone

Second mind-blowing story is when #soulmate successfully created a sms scam system something! Hahaha I don't really know what she's doing. Developers are just so damn cun! (and hot wtf #wink-at-soulmate).

After experiencing both moments, I became very emo because I haven't done any significant thing yet (like in my whole damn life wtf). Then I went to the pantry and grabbed some cookies to eat. And there it is, the rainbows and unicorns! Life's all good again HAHAHA.

Ahh. No wonder I've not done anything significant yet. T.T

Project 365: 100/365

OMFG! This is the 100th post already??

Normally I would post something meaningful for reaching such milestone but today I don't have the mood for it because I'm attached to THIS:

The Legend of Zhen Huan (后宫.甄嬛传)
No not the drama series yet. I'm currently reading the novel of it.

I dunno. I haven't see any uniqueness from this story compared to other ancient China palace stories. Maybe I haven't reach the interesting part, or maybe the only interesting point is that it is another typical ancient China palace story with different character wtf. I liked it at first but as you can see from the picture above, the King is starred by a less attractive man wtf. I lost my appetite.

But I've always loved ancient China stories so I shall finish it first before I judge HAHAHA.

So now, please bear with a shallow 100th post and the awesome writer is going back to her novel world! Hees

Since I have a blog and since you're not reading it, like ever (with annoying American tone), Imma go ahead and write this post and you will only see it if you see it. Hmph.

I've always used touchy words to write birthday wishes for you, so now let's do this differently!

Thanks for being so tall that whenever you stand beside me, you inhaled all the fresh air, letting me suffocate and gasp for air.

Thanks for being so sampat that we feel embarrassed bringing you out.

Thanks for being so anti social that you rather spend your time watching drama than hanging out with us.

Speaking of that, thanks for introducing us to the land of hamsup-ness by telling us the story of xxx.

Thanks for being so academically excellent that I look like an idiot compared to you.

Thanks for being so childish that I have to be the middle stone between you and sushien fml

HAHAHA

Thanks, for being a friend like that to me, that my life is coloured by you and it'll be less meaningful without you.

Thanks, for being in my life.

Happy Birthday, dear Bobo.


HAHAHA if you see this you're so gonna kill me!

Project 365: 98/365

After months of preparing (cheat one..actually just two days HAHAHA), I finally went for the exam that I was obliged to sit for my job HAHAHA. The past few months boss kept pestering me to take the test but I kept delaying because I really didn't feel like preparing for the exam, in fact, ANY kind of exam LOL.

And then new guy came and I was supposed to go with him but he also pandai delay so I have another legit excuse ngek ngek. We promised boss to sit for the exam on Monday (yesterday) but we were unprepared so we delayed..again. HAHAHA. Today I didn't felt prepared also but scumbag new guy didn't show up and I had no other excuse but to take the test today BY MY SELF. fml

I had a similar exam during uni but I had a bunch of friends studying with me, and we were taught by expert (aka my supervisor hahaha) so the knowledge was still fresh by the time we took the test. Now it is like....blank case. I took two weeks to study (little by little...literally) and two days to remember the  answers. Yes there are dumps and simulation for us to practice for the test.

So today I went, with my numb brain and nervous stomach (kept wanting to shit T.T). Adding to my suay-ness, my exam was interrupted several times due to weak network connection fml. I had a mini heart attack when my exam was disconnected for the first time but then it happened a few MANY more times afterwards so I was like 'meh' and kept pressing refresh. Damn chill!

And this is it!

Glad I passed! If any of my senior colleague is reading this right now, I bet their inner monologue would be "this fella just gotten her first cert and is already so happy! cheh!" HAHAHA I think few years later when I look back at this post I would be like
too. But nehmind I just wana remember the day I reached my first milestone in my career! #childish

OCP, here I come!

MUAHAHAHA months of hatred has come to this very moment!

In my entire life history of watching movie in cinema, one of the most POINTLESS movies LIKE EVER EVER EVER (finally Taylor Swift's equally pointless lyrics came in useful) is definitely TWILIGHT. I mean, wtf? Is the theme of the movie "seek to make audience damn freaking boring"? *grumps*

To all Twilight fans, there is no need to be offended by my disfavor. I am widely known as having the weirdest taste when it comes to judging movies (although the truth is my taste is excellent). So you're definitely not wrong loving Twilight and I am also entitled to my personal opinion ok?

Well that escalated quickly. I don't really know what to say to trash Twilight other than it being boring, nor do I wana trash Twilight. Because you see, the amount of fans could trample me to death HAHAHA. So I would let the videos below to do the talking.

I stumbled upon these 'honest trailers' of Twilight and I thought I should share it for a laugh.

1. Twilight


2. Twilight 2: New Moon


3. Twilight 3: Eclipse


Hilarious shit right!

The "Breaking Dawn" trailer is coming soon! Stay tuned for my updates on that!

Heh heh! *Sheldon's laugh*

Project 365: 96/365

At the most depressing moment I encountered currently, I said a long prayer and everything is getting better!

Liz is getting better and discharged from the hospital. I must say, Kelana Jaya Medical Center is pretty impressive and they really treated Liz well, giving her good medical care. They deserve a credit. I can see everybody is starting to cheer up a little, even I feel much better (although I have an exam tomorrow and I haven't study fml fml fml fml).

I went back to Ipoh this week because mum kept pestering me to come back and I can see she is really missing me. I'm glad I did.

I got to spend time with family, stared at my grandmother and asked her if she remembered me (and she didn't fml), played with twin no.2's phone, played with twin no.1, and played my preciously stored TVB drama for my parents.

And and, I went out with sushi and bobo HAPPY MAX! =]

I have not been driving much since I have my personal driver aka the bf I came back from Labuan. I drove wc once to meet sk at Old Town White Coffee. And my driving skill scared the hell out of wc HAHAHA and she kept nagging why didn't I let her fetch instead wtf eh bugger I came to fetch you because you were tired from work ok! HAHAHA I totally lost faith in my driving that I didn't dare to drive when bf offered his car for me to drive.

But today, for the dai siu jie princess of my heart, for miscommunication (good job not telling me what's the plan before the time of our outing wtf), I took out all of my leftover courage, and fetched sushi to our outing venue. It was just 5 minutes away from our area so I thought it was okay. But in the middle of outing, we decided to geik (provoke) sk by going to a dessert place she always wanted to go HAHAHA. And it was far wtf. All I can say is, man it was a bumpy ride. Not only that I don't really recognize Ipoh road anymore (at one point I was afraid I took the highway road and was heading to toll wtf), I suck at parking too HAHAHA. Seriously having someone to drive you around is so damn freaking blissful.

Anyway I'm glad we met and talked. We saw a few rainbows on the way back too. It's like a sign from God to tell us everything's gonna be fine. =]

So dear babes, have faith that we'll find the ultimate happiness. Meanwhile, enjoy and appreciate life now. Every ups and downs will make us a better and stronger person. Always believe that. Love you!
The only photo of the day coz I die die also don't wana be in the same frame as sushi+swee yee+ning HAHAHA

Project 365: 95/365

Yesterday night Liz was finally admitted to the hospital.

She couldn't take the pain and asked us for help to send her to the nearest medical center at 12am. My roommates quickly got changed and brought her down to get a cab. I stayed home to jaga rumah and felt a little useless.

In the midst of all these misfortunes,  I felt really grateful for meeting this bunch of awesome people.

When I was in school, up to university, I told myself whatever I went through must be applicable to my future. So I left home to pursue my dream, stay with strangers, trying to apply what I've learned in school to my life.

Honestly I didn't care so much about treating strangers or acquaintances well during school time. I've never speak to some of my housemates when I was in uni hostel. We don't share anything or do anything together. I couldn't bother to bond with them because my mindset was that I didn't want to socialize when I got home. Nobody cleans the living room because nobody comes out from their room to talk, so living room is kinda like none of their business.

I had the same mindset when I first came to this apartment. I thought I could be polite to them and engage in small talks occasionally. But heck, they are extraordinarily friendly and they really managed to open my heart. A typical Chinese would mind staying with other races (I saw the look on the face of two Chinese girls who came to check out our apartment to rent). I didn't mind but as I said I didn't want to get close.

But they are the sweetest girls ever, with zero drama! Yes there will surely be conflicts and I have always disliked conflicts because I hate it that people say angry and mean things out of anger, next they are all normal again, as if it never happen. Bitchplease most people think this is a good thing but I hated it because nobody is born to take your anger and reckless behavior. We are grown enough to talk things out.

And that's what they did. I'm glad my sacrifice of leaving home helped me to see another side of the world, another side of humanity, another side that I've never seen. We are all from different cultures literally (we have a Chinese, Indian, Malay, and a black girl) but we always managed to talk things out without any hard feelings at all.

Liz had to be admitted and they offered to help her and take care of her when some of them have pending work to be done. They went to visit her and even fed her.

Few years ago a friend told me NOT talking things out and wearing a mask is always the best way to survive. I disagreed because human is made of love. Not being able to be yourself around people is not having a relationship, and I want a real relationship. Then we grew apart because of our differences.

I've encountered similar people along the way but I've never seen them happy being that way. So y u no change? I don't understand.

But today I feel extremely grateful for what God has shown me. The world that I have always hoped for, does exist.

Who's naive now?

Project 365: 94/365

I'm starting to think the ghost thing Bell told us was true.

Yesterday everybody was very depressed about things. Liz is having gastric pain for more than one week NON-STOP, other roommates always have migraine and back pain. I am well but surrounded by the negativity, I also became very depressed.

What if there's an evil spirit that's affecting our health and emotion? In Ghost Whisperer, the shadows are capable of changing people's behavior until negativity consumes them.

I can't believe I just quoted a drama series as supporting fact. #facepalm

Anyway, I pray that God's light will shine upon us, chasing away the negativity and bring us peace.

Project 365: 93/365

Friendly post for anybody who has to create their own EPF account

Fun fact 1#: The reason why you should be creating your own EPF account is that it can be created instantly.

Your employer is obliged to create one for you but it will take a while, probably one month or more. So the only reason you're asked to create yourself is that they need it instantly. Since it can be done instantly if we do it ourselves and money can go in faster, why not?

Fun fact 2#: The only way you can create your own EPF account is by mail (yeah..old school style) or over the counter.

Find the nearest KWSP branch HERE, go in there, mention your purpose and get a number. And poof, you're up next! Seriously it's very fast because nobody does their own EPF account LOL. And then hand over your IC, let them get your thumb print, and poof! Your account is created right away and you'll walk away with the confirmation paper.

Doing it by mail is just lame. Please. But if you insist, you can download the required form HERE, fill it up with black ink and find a way to put your thumb print on the form (with lasting ink!), attach a copy of your IC in the mail and send it. I have no idea how long it'll take. So no advice for that. LOL.

Yeah. That's all. As easy as that. You're welcome. HAHAHA

Project 365: 92/365

Shit happens on the our rental because some rich family bought over our apartment and there's major chaos going on for switching owners. Conclusion: it's gonna be hell for us for the next three months. Just hope that everything goes right lah haiz. Wanted to buy a new keyboard for the twins and reward myself with a book this month, but I guess it is not happening. Sigh.

Today my roommate, Bell, discovered that she lost 50 bucks from her purse. Surprisingly she wasn't panic or anything. Just annoyed. Like "knowing your little brother was stealing your money but you're not exposing him and he did it again" kind of annoyance. And then she said "this is really not human's act!". I was like, okay so this is how she perceives money thief, as inhuman. But my housemate Liz had goosebumps. Then I understood what she meant by that!

Her 'history' with this money stealing ghost goes like this: when she was living in another floor with her friend, they were having this problem and lost around 200 bucks. There wasn't anyone who could access the places they kept their money, and they do keep track of their spending. Then Bell moved out to our current apartment, and it stopped happening to her, while her friend would still occasionally have problem with the ghost wtf. This morning her friend came to our room. And this whole thing happened again. They think the ghost is here. wtf.

I feel skeptical about this. I don't believe any of us will steal money or anything but I don't believe more in ghost shit. Of course I hope by saying this, the ghost won't feel #challenge-accepted that it would show itself to me wtf but I just don't think so. I'm not sure whether I wana believe that one of us stole the money or there's a freaking ghost in the house.

Now I just wana put all this behind and get a good night sleep because tomorrow Imma head to KWSP to create my EPF account. I think I'm the only one at my age who doesn't have an account. And my employer is not helping me with that sigh. This is still a foreign land to me la how can they expect me to find a way to go =(. Anyway, I need all the possible prayers I can get! If you wana see more of my post please close your eyes and say a little prayer for me wtf if anything happen tomorrow I might be too depressed to do anything HAHAHA excuse much!

See ya!

Project 365: 91/365

Yeah Incitement has another new event!

Normally there'll be an event once a month but this time they took two months for this event, and my awesome coursemate aka ex colleague yj is one of the organizers. I witnessed how he contacted and coordinated the whole thing, putting things into places and finally launched this event. Very happy for him!

So this is what it is about:
It's Deborah Henry in the video. Google her to find out who she is. Or click H-E-R-E so I can teach you how to search. LOL.

She is a real deal and not just any beautiful face we see on TV. She really do care and she is very wise in terms of using her talent and network to HELP and CONTRIBUTE to the society. Her beauty is from her beautiful heart.

Anyway Incitement started this event called "What Books Moved You?". We will always have that defining moment that changed our lives forever. I had a few of these moments and yes one of it is reading a book. I will blog about this soon (as in after attending this event).

So if you're around, and you're totally available on Friday night, why not spend your Friday night with Incitement! If your 'the book' is with you, do make a copy of it and donate to the Fugee school, as this event is meant to help the Fugee School. I love this idea! Not only that we can help them by donating books, every of these books meant something to someone and every book brings a special story. It'll definitely inspire us ourselves and the kids.


There is a line of speakers to talk to us about this theme. Hahaha I duno what to expect, but I know it'll be really awesome!

You can RSVP here at Incitement's event and take a look at their address and stuff. It is located at Bangsar, Menara UOA. If you're taking public transport, just get down at Bangsar LRT station, and turn to Tower A. Note that it is right inside in the LRT station itself. You'll need to provide your IC for registration at the reception.

Come everybaday!

Project 365: 90/365

Got addicted to translating lyrics lately. Maybe because sharing the things I love and finding people who think the same means a lot to me. =)

Yes I am still not over with Lara(梁心颐)'s album. It's a beautiful album with songs that tells superb stories.

Today I wana introduce this song called 'Gentleman'. It is composed by Gary(杨瑞代). This song was initially written as 'I'm Not A Gentleman' by Gary in his album. Lara took it and changed the lyrics into a dialogue style to Gary's version. It was brilliant!

Let's hear Gary's version first!

你说你靠的肩膀 You said the shoulder that you've been leaning on
越靠越勉强 不再奢望 The more you lean on it, the more you don't want to
慌张 想你的方向 Panic, is how I feel when I was wondering where would you be
在哪一个机场 Or rather which airport would you be
却假装很平常 But I made it all looked calm and normal
I'm not a gentleman 我总不够贴心 I'm not a gentleman, I'm never caring enough
I'll be a better man 我会努力来证明 爱你 I'll be a better man, I will work harder to prove my love for you

Chorus:有时候觉得胸口 有点椎痛 很难呼吸 Sometimes I feel pain in my chest, making me hard to breathe
你留言的那墙上 The wall you used to leave note for me
我会保留来提醒自己 I'll keep it to remind myself
没有你 房间空荡 how empty the room is, without you
我没想像中坚强 and how vulnerable I actually am when I thought I was stronger than this
你撕走照片的痕迹 The mark you left by tearing the photos away
也会保留来反省自己 it'll be kept for my self-reflection

你说感情是互相 你不想再这样 一再失望 You said love is mutual, you don't want to be disappointed constantly
慌张 想你的方向 Panic, is how I feel when I was wondering where would you be
在哪一个机场 Or rather which airport would you be
却假装很平常 But I made it all looked calm and normal
I'm not a gentleman 我总不够贴心 I'm not a gentleman, I'm never caring enough
I'll be a better man 我会努力来证明 爱你 I'll be a better man, I will work harder to prove my love for you
Chorus:有时候觉得胸口 有点椎痛 很难呼吸 Sometimes I feel pain in my chest, making me hard to breathe
你留言的那墙上 The wall you used to leave note for me
我会保留来提醒自己 I'll keep it to remind myself
没有你 房间空荡 how empty the room is, without you
我没想像中坚强 and how vulnerable I actually am when I thought I was stronger than this
你撕走照片的痕迹 The mark you left by tearing the photos away
也会保留来反省自己 it'll be kept for my self-reflection

今天天气很晴朗 Today is a sunny day
但是笑容很勉强 But my smile is reluctant
能不能不要就轻易放弃 Can you not give up so easily?
*Back to Chorus

Now, Lara's version!

昂贵的烛光晚餐 The luxurious candlelight dinner
电影的浪漫 The movie romance
可有可无 T are all dispensable
爱一个人很简单 Loving a person is simple
台词很平凡 The lines are ordinary
你却说不出 You couldn't even express 'em
I'm not a gentleman 你笑着对我说 'I'm not a gentleman', You smiled and said
我不需要很多 I don't need much
其实一句话就足够 But just that one sentence

Chorus:爱不就应该表明 Isn't it that love has to be expressed
不就该互相关心 Or care about each other mutually
就算只是一个小心意 The slightest loving intention
我会知道我属于你 would let me know that I do belong to you

生日对你是一天 Birthday is only an ordinary day for you
没什么特别 何必庆祝 There's nothing special, so why celebrate
难道你没有发现 But didn't you notice
我失望的脸 有多么在乎 the disappointment on my face, for wanting a special day like this
I'm not a gentleman 你叹气对我说 'I'm not a gentleman', you sighed and said
我不需要很多 I don't need much
其实一句话就足够 But just that one sentence

**Chorus**

爱如果太过冷静 If love is as cool as this
只是理性的交易 It'll be as if it is just a rational deal
当你勇敢付出你的心 Only if you're brave enough to love with your heart
才能体会它的神奇 can you experience the magical feeling it brings

我不是机器 I ain't machine
能无尽等你回应 I can't wait for your response endlessly
你的怠慢让我终于看清 Your neglection helped me see that

爱不过是个表明 Love is only an expression
不过是互相关心 Love is only mutual care
少了那一点的小心意 Without that slightest loving intention
再多举动都没意义 No matter what you do, it doesn't mean a thing
你的爱太过冷静 Your love is too cool
冷到我开始怀疑 To the extent that I started to doubt
与其当你身边的个体 Whether I should stay as an separated unit beside you
选择自由还更彻底 Or choose freedom

 爱一个人很简单 Loving a person is simple
台词很平凡 The lines are ordinary
但你已太晚 But it's too late

Awesome right!

If we love someone, let them know, show them how much you love them. I do agree that action speaks louder than words. But in relationship, it is only workable if both parties know how each other perceives love.

Anyway, if you have somebody you wana hold on to, say it. Do it. Show it. And hope for the best. =)

One day, le cy downloaded Paranormal Activity to watch during dinner. We off the light and  I watched it with the mindset that everything that was on the footage was real. Yes, stupid I know. HAHAHA. When the horror level strikes 'if-I-watch-another-minute-of-this-movie-I'm-gonna-have-a-heart-attack' level, we stopped for a while to do a simple googling to see whether or not the footage was real.

And of course, it wasn't real. DUH.

Well that didn't help much. The horror level was too damn high, I couldn't even sleep well that night LOL.

Few months later we finished Paranormal Activity 2 and 3. Scumbag cy ajak-ed us to watch but ended up trolling around rather than sitting there and freaking WATCH hahaha.

So after months of anticipation, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4 IS OUT! I wanted to watch in cinema but bf was VERY VERY stubborn and hard to convince no matter how hard I lured persuaded him. I can't possibly watch alone in cinema so gotta say bye bye to my precious Paranormal Activity 4 cinema experience.

Until one fine day, when cy gave me the link to download the movie. #spend-one-hour-to-pray-and-thank-God.

Bf still wouldn't watch it with me on the laptop so never mind, I WATCH ALONE LOH! Hmph.

Well I don't wana spoil it for you if you haven't watch. But,


Hees.

T.T

Well, I've always known I am a fat girl. I'm the fattiest around my friend (quote from Mei Ren Bang 媒人帮: You can say I'm fat, but don't say I'm ugly, because I'm not! Say sorry! Say sorry!你可以讲我肥,因为我是,讲丑就不可以,讲Sorry! 讲Sorry!). Ok la cy said I'm also the ugliest among my friend. Very brutal and hurtful but true. Nobody has the heart to tell the ugliest girl in a group that she is ugly because being ugly is pitiful enough already. T.T

Ok my point is, I've always know that. I know I'm fugly (fat+ugly, bitch please this is even worse than fking ugly because that's just being ugly but I'm fat AND ugly geddit?). Never mind. I got used to it. I got used to the sympathetic tone people use to talk to me. It's not that I don't mind. I just got so used to it I don't feel anything already.

But today it is another whole new level of self-doubt.

Just now I went together with bf's family to an invited dinner. So there was a round of introduction and bf's mum introduced to everyone that I'm my bf's gf.

Then they asked me what am I doing, where am I staying, what degree I did and all.

Here comes to killer question.

"ARE YOU FROM LOCAL?"

WTF do I look like I'm not????

To quote my bf, I've always been like a 'chinapek' to him. As in typical chinese. Although this word actually means chinese uncle but I get what he meant T.T

I have a dark skin compared to other Chinese. But I didn't know it makes me look non-chinese T.T It's not like not being a Chinese is a bad thing or what la. It's just that, why does people think soooooooo differently than who I am ar? T.T

Yea so now I'm fat, ugly and look like foreigner. But I really am not like what it appears to be please do not judge me by my cover wtf.

T.T

Project 365: 87/365

Holiday and working day selang seli really made me pening la! Today I developed holiday mood and tomorrow I have to immediately switch to working mode. T.T

So today is still another rest day. I finished my medicine but I'm still not recovered yet T.T Looks like cy is right about me going to cough for 100 days. Not sure if she really do know it or she is just scaring me. But so far she is right fml.

I love today because I have two miracles (or coincidence, for non-believer readers) happened to me.

Today after dinner I was coughing vigorously wtf to the point that I was gonna vomit. And we were in the car waiting for bf's mom to get something from the store. I covered my mouth with my hands and was really trying my best not to puke in their car T.T

At that moment I really wish that God (or any supernatural being, for non-believer readers) would heal me at least for that few minutes just so I wouldn't cause a scene by vomiting in their car. Ok now you wana believe or not it is your problem, but it was like a miracle happened to me when bf's dad offered me a throat lozenge right after I said a little prayer in my heart!

I quickly put it into my mouth and oh yeah the lozenge saved the day!

Second miracle is this. Since I've finished my medicine, I'm out of supply right now. My sweet roommate Bell has been hearing me cough since one month ago pity her HAHAHA and she offered to take medicine for me from the clinic (even before I went myself!). It is either she is sick of hearing me cough or she is compassionate to my suffering HAHAHA dun lie ar Bell I know it's both right!

I came back to the apartment today wondering what am I gonna do with my coughing and there she is with her medicine for me!

***INSERT IMAGE OF ANGEL DEPENDING ON YOUR PERSONAL IMAGINATION***

Somemore the medicine is non-drowsy one! Unlike my previous cough syrup that makes me sleep through the day. I can even take the medicine during work already woohoo thank God. And Bell, of course. Hahaha I belanja makan k but after getting my next salary! Now broke d hahaha!

Seriously, count your blessing. The fact that you're breathing is already the best blessing ever. =)

Project 365: 86/365


Found a post that I wrote from the ancient time. Since I am lazy it is still relevant to my current life, might as well just post it up HAHAHA

Here it goes:
Before falling asleep yesterday night, I was being all reminiscent over an interesting past event.

When I was in Form 5(which is like..5 years ago), we were required to complete our project NILAM record with summaries of all the books that we’ve read. If we are able to reach a total number of 288 records and above, we would be able to achieve the ultimate stage, the NILAM recognition.

Back then, all of us read as much as we could and spent lots of time on writing summaries. It was a race of determination. And I didn't make it.

Looking back at this event, I can’t help thinking how I would have ended up if I never give up.
Scary isn’t it? Give up striving for the best, knowing what is in store for you if only you can keep it going.

We can almost see a little ray of light shining at the other end of a tunnel, but yet we stop walking towards the light and left the journey in the tunnel..unfinished.

Such a attitude could be disastrous if it happens on major events in our life. School, work, relationship etc. We all have the nature of behaving the best we could and expecting the best possible outcome in our life. But it is also our nature to give up upon facing difficulties. Hence, we look for other alternatives, for example like settling for the second best outcome.

I’m not saying we should be ‘kiasu’(afraid of losing) in doing things, to the extent that it affects our attitude and life principles. It’s just..frustrating to see how we give up persisting and putting effort on achieving targets in life.

I myself was not a man of perseverance until I realised how I always ended up being dissatisfied with certain things in my life. I knew what comes after striving all the way until the end, but I gave up in the middle of the process.

This has to be my worst attitude ever. Not persevering limits my potential of growing. I don’t know how far I can go, what exactly I can do to improve and in this act of giving up, I lost sight of who I am.

Hence, I've decided to change. Change for the better. Keep striving for the best. Never give up in the middle of my doings(provided if it is the right thing to do).

Because all I’m looking for at the end of the tunnel is..

The ray of Happiness.

Cheh wah so cheesy one. #have-goosebumps-all-over-my-arm

Project 365: 85/365

This is the first time I'm spending so much time alone in these five months. All because I'm sick and also somebody has to study for exam boohoo!

So I've spent the whole day on bed, thanks to my cough syrup's drowsy effect. I woke up, had breakfast, took 10 ml of the bloody syrup, and slept like a baby until noon. And the cycle continues until now. I'm super drowsy right now, like I'm gonna pass out soon. Can't even feel my fingers..#I-definitely-see-stars-above-my-head

I miss home and miss mum's soup. Soup's the best food that was ever invented by human kind. That's why I asked for more soup when I tabao-ed my breakfast and now my stomach is like a water bag filled with water. When I swing from left to right, I can feel the water going blurp blurp blurp swinging together with its container wtf aka my stomach. Don't ask me why on earth would I do the swinging. I'm sick in the head.

Happy Deepavali to all of my friends who are also Hindu-s. Fun fact: Hindu celebrates Deepavali, not Indian. Get your facts right before you go on tagging all your Indian friends on Facebook ok? It's like not all Chinese celebrates Wesak Day, only Buddhist does. You're welcome.

Btw, did you know Nicole Richie is already married with two kids? You're welcome.

Would pee-ing reduce the water in my stomach? Better make a trip to the toilet. Make it ten.

So you think this is a Deepavali post? Well,

YOU'VE BEEN TROLLED

Project 365: 84/365

The effect of Alice in Wonder City still hasn't wear off LOL because the main actor & actress just released their personal album and there are songs from the drama series.

First, let's look at Aaron's album woohoo!

Aaron Yan - The Moment
His singing has improved tremendously and I love the lyrics he composed for two songs in this album.

Then let's look at Lara's new album!

Lara - Free Soul
I've always loved her soulful singing but only after she left Nan Quan Mama. Still don't understand her role there, it's not like their voices fit. #my-personal-opinion-only

Their songs are about the soul, soul searching, confronting the soul, setting the soul free and stuff. Gosh it was really nice but because soul-ish stuff are all very personal, it feels very lonely listening to the songs.

In Aaron's album, the song I loved the most is "Maybe You're Still In Love With Me" (可能你还爱我 ke neng ni hai ai wo). Aaron took Pink's "I don't believe You" and wrote a Chinese lyric for this song. It is not a direct translation of Pink's version but their theme is the same, which is the denial phase of the process of breaking up.
还记得吗 那年的幸福  Remember the blissfulness we had?
曾经 那么相信 未知的未来  We had so much faith in that undefinite future
你的 喜怒哀乐 习惯动作  Your emotions, habit, 
头发味道 手心温度  the smell of your hair, the warmth of your palm,
我都记得 所以算是爱情 吧 I remember all of it, I guess this is what they called love.

可能 你还爱我  Maybe you're still in love with me
争吵时候 才会低头沉默  Hence the silence when we fought
什么也不说 因为怕我会难受  Afraid of making me upset with the words

可能 你还爱我  Maybe you're still in love with me
为了让我 怀念你的温柔  Wanted me to remember your gentleness
才会松开手 要给我自由  By letting go and setting me free

还记得吗 漫长的夜晚  Remeber that long night we had?
什么 话都没说 心跳成巨响  We didn't say a thing, letting our hearts beat loudly in the silence
小心 流着眼泪 怕你听见  My tears dropped carefully, afraid that you could hear 'em
只能乞求 别背着我  All I can do is to beg you not to turn your back on me
快抱紧我 能抱紧我 吗  Hold me tight, can you hold me tight?

可能 你还爱我  Maybe you're still in love with me
争吵时候 才会低头沉默  Hence the silence when we fought
什么也不说 因为怕我会难受  Afraid of making me upset with the words

可能 你还爱我  Maybe you're still in love with me
为了让我 怀念你的温柔  Wanted me to remember your gentleness
才会松开手 要给我自由  By letting go and setting me free
所以眼睁睁看我走  And watch me leave without doing anything

记得 记得 我狠狠爱过  Remember I've loved so hard

我们 就算狼狈 也不颤抖  No matter how flustered, we'd never tremble
呼吸再痛 也不呼救  No matter how hurt it is to breathe, we'd never cry for help
小心翼翼 藏进我的心中 吧  Keep it all inside of me, diligently.

可能 你还爱我  Maybe you're still in love with me
分手那天 才没那么洒脱  Becayse breaking up wasn't so easy
是在提醒我 你不是真离开我  It's like you're reminding me that you weren't leaving me for real

可能 你还爱我  Maybe you're still in love with me
分开之后 还能够常连络  We could still connect after the separation 
却不曾提过 谁在你怀中  And you've never mentioned who was in your arm 

可能 还爱我  Maybe you're still in love with me.

I feel naked listening to the song. I've never gone through things like that la *touch every wood I see*. I'm not sure why I felt it so much. It's either Aaron sang it right through my heart or I've been through it but my subconscious hid the experience wtf CAN THEY DO THAT. Btw I susah payah translated the lyrics above, only to find out that somebody else already did, and the English translation was better than mine T.T Nehmind this is my first attempt, and I'm happily handing over the virginity of my lyrics translation to Aaron's 可能你还爱我 to English version hees.

And the song I loved the most from Lara's album is "Free Soul" (自由灵魂 zi you ling hun). It was like a total mind f. Because it's totally AWESOME. It's exactly the kind of song that she should be singing.
踢掉你的鞋子 踢掉你的责任
Kick off your shoes and your obligations
放松是活着的资格
Chilling is how we gonna live 
计划值得称赞但若太过认真
Great planning is to be praised
会错过更完美的可能
But you'll miss better possibilities if you're too serious
要不要在你的黑白人生 加点颜色?
Don't you wana color up your plain life? 
解放你的灵魂 自由是一种精神
Free your soul, for freedom is an attitude
释放你的灵魂 自我探索是无限的旅程
Free your soul, for self-searching is a journey with thousands of possibilities
谁说成功的路只有一种规格
Who says there's only one way to success
你不一样就不符合
And if you're different you're not qualified
所谓的缺陷才是可贵的部份
Flaws are precious
何必掩饰它的独特
Why must we hide its uniqueness
要不要在你的黑白人生 加点颜色?
Don't you wana color up your plain life?
解放你的灵魂 自由是一种精神
Free your soul, for freedom is an attitude
释放你的灵魂 自我探索是无限的旅程
Free your soul, for self-searching is a journey with thousands of possibilities
花的小孩一朵一朵站起来
The children of flower blossomed
散播世界和平与爱
To spread peace and love to the world
让创作力盛开 革新自己的未来 快~
Unleash creativity, revolutionize your future 
解放你的灵魂 自由是一种精神
Free your soul, for freedom is an attitude
释放你的灵魂 自我探索是无限的旅程
Free your soul, for self-searching is a journey with thousands of possibilities
解放你的灵魂 自由是一种精神
Free your soul, for freedom is an attitude
释放你的灵魂 自我探索是无限的旅程
Free your soul, for self-searching is a journey with thousands of possibilities

The music video is a MUST WATCH. It uses more than 800 pieces of art work (REAL art work drawn by  a Nan Quan Mama's member) to produce a 2.42 minutes video. It'll take up to months to complete such animation but they did it within a very short time frame. The art was absolutely awesome. The lyrics of 自由灵魂 (Free Soul) is awesome and my fellow readers who don't understand Chinese, you're welcome! I'm getting addicted in translating lyrics HAHAHA. Look at the lyrics, it's really beautiful. My fav song of the year!

So this is it. My review for both albums is that they've proved to be more than just artists with good look. They do have real talent and they never stop discovering and improving themselves. Love that their music can bring some comfort to our soul. =)

Project 365: 83/365

I was sick but I wasn't feeling weak or anything. But now I'm totally weaken by the medicine, not my sickness itself.

When I was on the way back to KJ with dad, I was sleeping in the car until I woke up choking because of the air I inhaled. Gila la this place is so polluted! So what if people can earn a lot or have job opportunities here. Your life quality would be badly affected. Geez.

Haiz no matter how much I trash this place, I'm still here, sucking it up to make a living.

No matter how oh-so glamorous this place is, I just don't see my future here.

I dunno.

Maybe this is just a sick talk.
Maybe because my roommates are back to their family and yet I'm here.

Or maybe, I'm just feeling lonely.

Hate this.

Hahaha my first emo post! #emo-post-achievement-unlocked

Project 365: 82/365

I'm finally back home after three weeks!

I've totally forgotten people are gonna rush back to hometown for a long weekend holiday (Deepavali & Awal Muharram), hence the four hours jam on the road FTS. I swear I can't stand driving in a jam like this. Might as well wait for the never-on-time public transport than getting stuck in a jam.

Before I head back, I finally went to the panel clinic to check my coughing condition. I was already coughing continuously for a month or so. Somehow I think because of me, my colleagues were falling sick also ftl. So since me haz medical card from le company, and I was really suffocating (cough+stomach ache+ vomiting) for almost a week, bf brought me to the clinic for check up.

We've waited for 1 hour plus #major-rage those aunties were really damn good in making the most out of their consultation with the doctor! Luckily bf was there to bull crap with me hees.

I haven't been seeing doctor for few years already so when I heard my name got called, I was a bit nervous. My social awkwardness was overwhelming so I made bf promised he would do the talking and tell the doctor my symptoms, while I just sit there and look sick HAHAHA

So I went in, doctor asked me questions, and there was an awkwardly dead silence for a few seconds. Scumbag bf didn't wana help me answer at all, just sit behind at the visitor's chair and chill only! WHAT A TROLL! Ish.

At that moment I could feel my body temperature rising because I couldn't handle those kinda socializing pressure la HAHAHA and the doctor put a tape on my forehead, saying that I've got a fever wtf. I told him I don't think I was having a fever (I really was just shy until my body temperature rose!) and the scumbag bf opened his damn mouth and told the doctor my body was warm just now. YUEN WONG AR! Doctor asked me to touch my face to feel the heat, but I'm sure I was just blushing la! What a big misunderstanding. Luckily I don't need to pay for the fever medicine that was prescribed  afterwards.

Then I told doctor about the coughing and stomach ache. He knew exactly which part of my stomach is aching. He told me my constant cough hurt my stomach's muscle. Hence the stomach ache. OMFG I really didn't know this kinda thing will happen. The wonder of our body structures wtf.

The stomach ache is really painful. Imagine sharp knife cutting your skin again and again. T.T

I went back home, haz my mum's yummy fish porridge, and ate medicine. The phlegm on my throat was making me very nauseous, I couldn't hold it and vomitted! MY MEDICINE ARRRRRR! But I couldn't see the pills in my vomit (just the fish porridge) so I just screwed it and went out with my beloved jimui-s who were a little drunk wtf drink without me wor!

The pretty babes #major-love

Awesome way to end my Saturday night! =)
