Project 365: 42/365

Tomorrow is the day of my transition from a student to a working adult.

I still feel like the same person I was one week ago (actually ten years ago). It is not a good thing right? I mean..I'm supposed to grow in terms of maturity and wisdom, but I haven't. #double-facepalm

I'm having this complicated feeling right now. I'm finally stepping into the 'real society' that adults were telling us about. I'm finally living in the 'future' I was imagining since forever.

Looking back at the previous chapters of my life, it was one hell of an experience. I remember the look on people's faces like I would never make it to this point of my life. But all glory to God, I made it and I truly appreciated their existence in my life.

Without people who put me down, I would never discover the strength in me that could bring me up again.

Without friends who stay by my side after all these years, I would never understand what's forever.

Without my supporting (and sometimes annoying HAHAHA) family, I would never have that motivation to drive myself to a higher level just to make them proud.

Without God, I would never know what true happiness really means.

Without food, I would never know how heavy I can become fml fml fml fml fml

Everything that I've been through are like pieces of puzzle which came together to complete the puzzle. I am not who I am without every single choices I made, every bold steps I took, every mistakes I made.

And I feel thankful for all of these. Because although I might be broken and imperfect here and there (try no where HAHAHA), I am still a happy girl with dreams. I guess it counts right? =)

So if tomorrow is your first day of work too (yes I'm refering to you #soulmate), all the best. Give it all you've got and don't give up chasing your dreams! If tomorrow is just a random day, good day wtf. Everyday is a new experience. Make it count =)

Project 365: 41/365

Today's outing was legen.......wait for it......dary! Legendary! Thanks Barney for this awesome quote and yea I used it without alteration because I'm a badass like that LOL!

It's been 10000 thousand years since I last sang k and I told myself (and all my jimui-s HAHAHA) that I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANTED AND NEEDED A SING K SESSION!!!(I bet 100bucks this paragraph or at least the previous sentence is going up at Nuffnangx's 'elevator's pitch'! Who's with me!)

And my wish was granted WOOHOO!(or this paragraph)

Our luck was obviously on fire because we found a parking space within 5 mins on a Saturday (okay maybe because most of Ipoh Parade's customers went to AEON instead hahaha), booked a room smoothly, sang more than 100 songs, got 2 hours extensions, and the ice lemon tea was nice wtf.

Well there is simply no better way to describe this awesomeness other than using our very own Malaysian's style: SYOK GILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (or this paragraph)

I've always preferred going for a sing k session in a big group so we can all make the atmosphere high wtf. Hope I don't make us sound like dumb blondes hahaha! But this time most of them didn't want to sing so it was just me and wc. I took #soulmate's advice that two persons' k session could be really fun too. So I went ahead, and man it was really awesome. Wc can sing really really well and I think she touched my soul a little when she sang certain songs. #wipe-tears

******************************************************************

Tomorrow is my last day of holiday. Everyone, please bow your head, close your eyes, and mourn for the passing of my holiday. Thanks.

Imma starve myself tomorrow until dinner time so I can haz all the yummy food in my tummy woohoo it rhymes! Ok not so much. Anyway who am I kidding HAHAHA I will never skip any meal in Ipoh because IT'S IPOH YO!

Alright this is it. Thanks for reading! #bow

Project 365: 40/365

Have been using Nuffnangx right at the minute it was published. Well it was convenient in the sense that I can look for my fav bloggers' update at a single platform. But I'm exceptionally interested in their going-to-be patented algorithm to extract an "elevator's pitch".

An elevator pitch is where a person who wants his/her idea to be heard, presents the idea to an audience right in an elevator, and present the idea completely before the audience steps out of the elevator.

Nuffnangx is employing this concept into the way they lay out the list of blog posts on the feed. Except for displaying the blog title and post title, an extraction from the post would also be taken out as an "elevator's pitch" by the algorithm.

Post feed of yesterday's post! Look at the extracted 'elevator's pitch'!

Today I wana test my hypotheses on Nuffnangx's "elevator's pitch". I will list down my hypotheses and attach a paragraph with it to test whether the paragraph will be extracted as the 'elevator pitch' of this post or not.

1. The algorithm will extract the paragraph with a lot of capital letters.

EXTRACT ME LAH WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR. A SIGN FROM THE UNIVERSE? AW COME ONNNNNN

2. Or the paragraph with a lot of exclamation marks.

extract this piece of crap yo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Or the paragraph which contains the post title's keyword or is related to the title.

This project that I'm doing, Project 365 is actually so damn freaking bloody awesome you know that?

4. aaaaaand that's it.

Ok the 'elevator's pitch' is gotta be from the above example paragraphs. If not, let's try this ultimate paragraph by combining all my hypotheses.

Through Project 365, my vision for this blog is that I can influence and inspire my readers with my words, and that I can grow together with them. So, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Sign up at Nuffnangx and follow my blog RIGHT HERE RIGHT NAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok. I can't wait to publish this post and see the result! Now seriously, sign up (or sign in if you have an account already) and follow me. HAHAHA aren't I smart in getting more followers there! #no-shame-at-all

Project 365: 39/365

Alright I just found out I missed the movie ticket contest organized by Nuffnang to win movie passes to the premier screening of "House at the End of the Street". Not that I wana win it so badly but I love the contest question. It says:

Share with us in your most creative way,the horror story of your neighbourhood!

Since I have been living in a safe and ghost-free (#thank-God) neighbourhood, and I am not creative enough to crap a horror story (although I do appear as if I am more than capable of doing so #narcissistic), so I was just gonna pass that contest. But...

I do have a horror story to tell.

Not from my neighbourhood or anybody's neighbourhood for the record. It was from my campus. So brace yourself. Or not (that's if you don't believe in my credibility to tell a horror story, or should I say, KISAH BENAR aka true story wtf had to emphasize it in Malay coz got more ohm TROLLOLOL felt the ohm anot!).

Alright alright let's get to the story!

Once upon a time wtf, le me and fellow groupmates were finishing an assignment at the 5th floor meeting room of our campus building. It was around 11pm++ but we still had a lot more to go. As we were doing work, we were told that a subject's carry mark was out and pasted on lecturer's office door at 12th floor.

Since we wanted to take a break anyway, we decided to pay a visit there and ruin our mood on purpose by looking at the carry marks LOL. So me and two of my groupmates took the elevator to 12th floor.

12th floor is specifically for lecturers' office. By 11pm++, no doubt all lecturers have already gone back and thus the floor was entirely dark. There were street lights and moonlight from the semi-transparent windows so we were fine. My groupmate went and turned on the lights and we proceeded to our lecturer's office.

Here's the thing. There was nothing pasted on her office door. Never mind. I heard somebody's doing typing work inside the office. And I could see lights coming out from the office, beneath the door. I knew that the lecturer was living in campus hostel so I thought she was working late, and I went on knocking her door just to ask about the carry mark.

I was knocking for a while but nobody answered and nobody opened the door, as if the person inside didn't hear my knocking. My groupmates urged me to stop. I was puzzled because clearly somebody was there typing. It was the sound of fingers running through keyboard, with certain typing pattern where we hit space bar after typing a word, and some little pause and stuff. I was sure of it.

I told them I saw lights coming out from the office so we maybe she was on the earphone and didn't hear us. My groupmate said the light was not from the office, but merely a reflection of the moonlight from the window. To prove herself, she went and turn off the lights of the floor.

What I was looking at, definitely was sending chills down my spine. There was no light from the office, and the sound of typing can still be heard.

SCARY SIAL!!!!

We quickly ran to the elevator and went back down to the 5th floor! And we never talk about it again. Ok bluff one. After we told everybody then only we stopped talking about it again HAHAHA!

I didn't understand why would they wana stop talking about it at first. We didn't exactly see anything or got hurt. But now I guess I understand why. If we were to keep talking about it and not putting it behind, we might be traumatized and haunted by our own fear.

That's how you have the opportunity to be looking at the happy-bubbly-unhaunted me! LOL

So..how's my story? *indirectly urging you to comment #beh-paiseh*

My convocation is coming. #massive-headache

I've been surveying around to get the best price for my convocation studio photo shoot. And a little bird told me there's a Groupon deal that offers 97% off for such photo shoot. I was like

#gasp I GOTTA GET IT!!!!!!!

Aaaaaaand the universe failed me.

The management suckx BIG TIME. Not only that they failed in their social media management by attending to inquiries terribly, but also not making things more convenient for customers to make booking and such.

Seriously as a customer, upon purchasing an offer that YOU offered, I still expect good customer service alright? If you can't handle so many customers' requests, MAYBE YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT NOT MAKING SUCH DEAL????

Damn pissed off. I'm still making my last effort to try to salvage my studio photo shoot. Because I believe that you're worth fighting for. But honestly if you screw it up for me, I WILL EXPOSE YOU grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Not that it'll do you any harm because I have only ONE reader fml.

Project 365: 37/365

Good thing about being a teacher is that the parents would normally be appreciative of your effort that they keep bringing gifts to the teacher TRUE STORY. For so many years since my mum started her career as a private tutor, we never had to fork out a single cent to buy any festivals' special food. You bet I'm talking about mooncake!

Last year I had to miss eating mooncake because of school but now I'm a free bird and so..

MOONCAKES COME TO MAMA!

I was craving for mooncake these few weeks, and I came home for holiday only to see a STACK of mooncake boxes (they made beautiful boxes btw) on the kitchen counter WOOHOO the universal heard my prayer!

There are so many newly created flavours but I only like those traditional ones. And lemme tell you,

ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY HAZ MOONCAKE WITHOUT GREEN TEA (or any kinds of tea for that matter)!

Not sure if I've grown old or what but I can't help noticing mooncakes are much sweeter now and I can only gobble it (if you nibble it like a lady, you're doing it wrong! LOL kidding) with a sip of green tea #owh-heaven-im-looking-right-at-ya

This post would be more interesting with pictures. But ~~universe~~ I have failed you due to the lack of tools (mind you I'm still using black-and-white screen Nokia phone T.T).

Maybe next post. Just maybe. Hee.

Thanks for reading this pointless post and here's a kiss from me MUACKX now runnnnnnnnnn!

Project 365: 36/365

Had a real long yumcha session with jimui-s. Ermahgerd being a passenger is one of the most blissful things on Earth! I think I was spoiled too much by bf that I couldn't drive properly already T.T (if you're my faithful reader LOL you would notice I mentioned about highway drive but honestly short distance drive is SO MUCH MORE challenging!).

I needed to fetch the exhausted wc to meet up with sk so I was getting to the car #like-a-boss but my driving skill deteriorated too much that the engine died 4 times in total #unbelievable. And and and I got chased by dogs WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN!!!! T.T damn suay

*******************************************************************

Sometimes it is funny how things turn out to be. Some people have dreams but not down to earth. Some people are too realistic that their dreams got sacrificed. Some people have this but wanted that. Some people wanted this and that but ended up getting nothing. Well, this is because:

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT **sing this phrase in Glee's version (haters gonna hate)**

Life isn't perfect. Neither are we. It is not hard to realise sometimes you will end up in a situation, or with somebody, or do something that has never cross your mind. And at that point, most of us opt to proceed with it as we have no other options.

We ended up getting a less desired job. We went for it anyway because "we might be unemployed if we missed this".

We ended up taking a less desired course. We went for it anyway because "we might not get into the course we wanted/we couldn't afford another alternatives".

We ended up with a person we 'kinda' like. We went for it anyway because "there might be no other person who's willing to be with us".

Might. Might not. These two words encapsulated our sense of insecurity.

There could be thousands of possibilities out there for us to explore. But because of our sky hight sense of insecurity we just settled for something different from what we dreamed about.

Life's for us to work on it, and get the best out of it. So is it worth putting effort on something that we didn't even like to do? Or is it worth letting go what's already in front of us, waiting for something better to happen?

All I know is, we gotta dream. And we gotta know how to make it happen. And we gotta work on making it happen.

Because, through the journey, you'll discover yourself. You'll realise what you can or can't do. And the best thing is, you'll realise what you need to complete you.

So why worry what might or might not happen? If you know what you want, what you're doing, you just have to go for it, not missing the chance to discover life's awesomeness.

Take a leap of faith yo! Because the next line is:

"BUT IF YOU TRY SOMETIMES, WELL YOU JUST MIGHT FIND. YOU GET WHAT YOU NEED."

Still having a hard time accepting what happened.

One minute I was inspired by her words, the next minute she's gone.

Anyway she gave me a reason to live my life to the fullest. Whenever I thought about doing something, I'd think of her and think about how she would live her life at this point, so that I wouldn't slack and live my life in vain.

Today I passed by the places we used to hangout, and I remembered her diva-like attitude, so fearless and tough, so sweet and supportive, yet so broken inside. I'm glad she knew what she was fighting for, and I'm happy for her that she has already achieved it. I truly appreciate her existence in my life. Thank God for her, for such an angel, for such a role model.

*****************************************************************
Had a real crazy day today. Tagged along with bf's family to attend some events and dafuq I met a famous politician in person. No comment about him from this point onward. #coward

Gonna be spending the week in Ipoh and just had mum's home-cooked dinner.

That's what blissfulness is.

So I'm currently executing resolution 4#: reduce mum's burden by finishing her cooking OM NOM NOM NOM. Eh this gives her a great sense of accomplishment ok! #defensive

Tomorrow is my first day of holiday. Same quote -> "LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST YO"!

Project 365: 34/365

I have never experienced death of my surrounding people.

Today, I just found out one of my friends from a Christian youth I used to join, has passed away.

Honestly I don't know how to cope with this. It is just too much for me to handle. It is very unexpected. She was so young, so passionate about life.

I duno what to say. She's been taken for granted by almost everyone in her life, except for her boyfriend. The 'everyone' includes me. I was a passerby. I was just a random friend.

But I was also a faithful stalker. And when we were at our most critical time of life, we'd reach out to each other..ok at least I would. It is as if only she would understand my most complicated and conflicted feeling.

It's not fair. Not fair at all. She is NOT perfect. But she WANTED to be perfect, to be Christ-like, to be loved, to do great things, to contribute. She was making effort all these times. She fell, and then picked herself up, and fell, and picked herself up. She never gave up trying for life.

She had a tough childhood. I'm sure she was loved at some point but honestly I just wish every parents know how great their influence is, in their child's life.

She had just found her true love, a great man who brought her back from the dark side. From then she never stopped fighting. She was always strong, in her own way. She fought so hard with life, and she is about to prove herself to the world! She was so excited about life, studies, how she could've contribute, how she can really make her parents proud. She was about to win the battle.

But sadly, she had to leave the battle. LEAVE. Her health was deteriorated so bad and she couldn't make most people like me to understand what kinda pain/sickness she was going through. I took her for granted. I totally did.

I'm sorry for this emo post. Because I feel so angry. This is so unfair. She fought so hard, in the end she got a blog post from me. Not even a phone call. Not even a meet-up. Not even my attention, until she was admitted to the hospital.

I am still shocked. When she was hospitalized, she posted up her diagnosis results, and I just hoped for the best. She didn't even get my prayer. Just hot tears, just blog post. I was thinking about her yes. But I didn't realized life is THAT fragile.

I'm not angry at God. He always loved her and molded her with the strongest fire ever that she became such an inspiration to me and many people before she left. He gave her what she was always yearning for. He loved her unconditionally, and was there for her when she had nobody. And now He didn't want her to go through the pain from life. She is finally taken to heaven as an angel. I'm just..angry with myself.

Be as skeptical as you want. I believe in God and I believe He IS love. I believe Jesus died on the cross for our sins and God never wanted to give us up. I believe He is in control and yet He gave us freewill to live our life on Earth. I believe all these BY FAITH.

And now I wonder, how is it like to be in heaven? I'm envious that she's there already. =')

I miss you so much, Joanna. I miss looking at that tough confident plus size girl who was badass outside and doubtful inside. I miss watching your transition from zero confident girl into a highly confident woman. You made me believe everybody else was wrong about looking good outside. Inner beauty is the only way to keep a woman happy from the inside. You taught me that we didn't need to please anyone, but to prove that we're worth being treated equally.

If you are watching us from above, I bet you feel it is not your time yet. But where you are now is where we all wana end up in. You've had a real great life, and your happiness lies in heaven. That's the true happiness we're all finding for.

Can't believe I'm gonna be using this word already.

REST IN PEACE, my dear friend. You are AWESOME.

Here comes the mainstream end-of-internship post!

Have been having butterflies in my stomach! This is so exciting! I proposed that we should do a count down but obviously this is a lame thing to do for some people like yj (insert_vulgar_words_right_here_right_now)!

Can't really talk much about the company. But I've learned a lot, not only in terms of technical skills, but also about attitude and dreams. I have the honor to work with my course's "future aspiring leader" (eh real one ok! He got an award with this title!) and he was able to inspire me and made me to think from another perspective.

I can say my workplace has awesome working environment. Not sure if it is because colleagues are all guys or we are all matured adult (cheh wah) that there are almost zero drama or conflicts (not that I know of lah since I'm only a small intern) in the office.

From this internship I've discovered my passion and I was able to take some time to examine myself. This is definitely a great working/soul-searching journey for me.

I hereby would like to say,

GOODBYE to young adulthood and

HI to adulthood (T.T).

All the best to yj aka 3-months ex-colleague. Always admire your spirit and passion and I hope that one day I have the opportunity to witness your success (in your definition of course) and be part of your mission. And don't forget our old place -> SNOWFLAKE YO! HAHAHAHA

Alright. All the best to all of my coursemates. I'm sure our LI grade rocks (ok la actually not so sure HAHAHA) and see you guys in convo!!!

Gotta wear that hat and hold that scroll like a badass!!!

Project 365: 32/365

Muahaha just got a confirmation that I will haz one week holiday and resume to work on the first of October.

Me gusta!

So this blog post is about my 7-Days Holiday Resolution! **inner voice: as if I'm gonna do it #sarcastic**

Alright. Lemme put up a nice heading for my resolution, because that's the kind of bad ass I am if it makes any sense at all.

Seven Days Holiday Resolution

Nais. Let's get this started!

1# Finish Julian Assange's Autobiography.

I've been stalling for one month! OMG. I can usually finish a book within few hours. Two days tops. But one month?? Unacceptable! Imma finish it within these seven days! Fyi, it is a great book! Highly recommended (by me, if you don't mind)!

2# Finish up all the drama series that I've been downloading

Now we're talking. I have no life other than watching drama and imagine marrying the handsome lead actor. HAHAHA. But this time I wana finish it up because it's been conquering my C drive.

Look at that! My working productivity is deeply affected because clicking ONE button takes 1 lifetime's time. %$%#%$ #$@$@#$#@$#^%#$@#! Gotta watch all of it and press the delete button though it'd probably respond in my next life #sigh

3# Haz at least ONE sing-k session.

So you probably realise it's all about fun and entertainment in my resolution. What took you so long? HAHAHA

4# Go home and help my mum to take care of grandmother for a few days.

Filial anot! Hehe. Ok la I know it is what I am supposed to do anyway. My mum's been really busy lately with work, it'll be great if I can reduce her burden for a while =D

5# Catch up with work.

Have been abandoning work-related stuff because of hardware limitation (refer resolution 2# hahaha). Gotta pick up doing work again..my boss has already forewarned me that he bites.

6# Finish editing my blog template.

Gosh it is hard to pick up html/css stuff again after so long. Took me so long just to figure out some small small part. And I still can't stand how my blog looks like now. The blue obsession has gone a little too far. But I have no idea how to redesign it to make it normal again #headache. Calling out to freelance web designer! No reward one. Maybe do a blog advertorial for you? But nobody reads my blog hahaha

7# ~~Plan my convo trip~~ Do some research on KK.

Damn depressing planning a trip! How did my jimui Sushii do all these! Has anyone been to KK? Help is needed please please please T.T

Alright! Done constructing resolution for my last holiday ever in my life.

Now, Imma start with resolution #2! GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!

PHEW! Had a mini heart attack thinking that I forgot to bring my adapter home from work!

Changed my blog design again and needless to say, I didn't save the previous design so yea..no comparison. Again. FTS.

It is getting blue-er and blue-er. I bet you've never seen any blue-er blog template than this. Because nobody loves blue like I do HAHAHA. **inner voice: nobody is as lame as I do** LOL

I can't explain why I did what I did. My blue obsession is creeping out and conquered my blog. It was only covering my post area during my first tweak. Then I just had to put the background blue instead. I can see it's a little too much. What do you think? Comment below and let me know yo!

*****************************************************************
I've been driving back to PJ from Ipoh every time I go back to hometown. And because my dad goes back every weekend on Saturday evening (so late because of work yo), he doesn't like to go back to PJ early (early=Sunday). Since Monday is working day, he usually starts driving from Ipoh at 4am and can still make it to work at 9am.

4am. What an ungodly hour to drive.

Mum's been telling me dad feels sleepy and bored driving alone like that. So whenever I am back, I will drive him back to PJ instead.

So there's something about me driving long distance journey. I duno. Is it just me or everyone feels sleepy during the drive, regardless of the time? I tried driving at 3pm in the afternoon, and I felt extremely sleepy.

So these 4am drives..maybe I feel more insecure without the sunlight. I would feel very very nervous about driving at midnight. I know I must sleep early so I am fully awake for the drive.

The universe has failed me. Again.

I WILL HAVE FREAKING I-N-S-O-M-N-I-A THE WHOLE NIGHT RIGHT TILL 4AM!!!!!!!!!!

FML BIG BIG TIME.

I would be up all night, until 4am, drive and reach at 7am, and prepare to go to work.

*explode*

I really can't do this anymore! I would be soooooo sleepy during the drive that I kinda doze off! DAMN SCARY RIGHT! Bf warned me not to drive under such condition but my dad is equally tired so what makes the difference to switch? My dad would drive for the first hour and switch with me for the next two hours. Sometimes when I feel extremely sleepy and need a break, bitch R&R is nowhere to be seen. When I'm not sleepy, R&R is within 500m.

T.T

Any tips to stay awake? T.T Need help here hello~~ *wave* please do comment! Thanks!

Project 365: 30/365

Celaka! I edited my blog template a bit, and forgot to capture the previous version again!

*punch my chest like gorilla*

Nothing much actually. I just added more blue element. Obviously. Very very obviously. The universe has failed me again. I screwed up my comment function FML. Lazy to fix it HAHAHA

Today is the launching day of Nuffnangx. To be honest I'm really impressed with the way they brought out the news. The suspense level in these few days was TOO DAMN HIGH! I was already guessing it has something to do with social networking site. And I was partially right #die-die-also-wana-win

Nuffnangx is a social media platform targeted on blogosphere, bringing conveniences to bloggers as well as stalkers nawww laa blog fans blog fans! I truly admire the designers' delicacy in upholding user's experience as top priority. Everything was made simple, even the tutorials are simple and cheeky. If it is not for the tutorials that kinda tickled me, I would have cancelled the freaking page. So I must say, they really served a typical mafan user like me well. HAHAHA #no-shame

It integrates the essence of Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, and Wordpress. Its main function is almost identical to Wordpress's. We've all experienced this deja vu with Facebook and Google Plus. But Nuffnangx went directly into its target user and successfully convinced them. While it is very cliche to mention, I can really see how enthusiastic the founders are, and how much they believed in Nuffnangx.

Maybe because of such passion that the users that they've reached were also grown to believe in it. Similar or not, Nuffnangx still stood out, gaining 1k SOLID followers within just FEW HOURS.

As for me,

ADD ALL MY FAVOURITE BLOGS AND STALK THEM ALL!

Project 365: 29/365

On my precious Malaysia Day weekend, I went to Penang with family to visit relatives and MAKAN! Hahaha I loveeeeee Penang laksa #worship

So we went to Anjung Gurney where all the hawker stalls around that area were gathered to give tourists a centralized food location with more options. Although I had steamboat for dinner the day before with jimui-s..ok before I continue, I must explain what 'steamboat' means to me.

Steamboat, brings no other meaning than eating at least 3hours NON-STOP to me. This includes countless bowls of steamed food, countless plates of bbq-ed food (I didn't even have to do it myself that day HAHAHA I just pointed at what I wanted to eat, my slaves aka best friends hahaha #coward Bobo and sk will bbq for moi), and countless bowls of ice creams (ok I was the icecream slave that night!). I was sooooooooo full I felt like puking afterwards but I tak tau mati went to mamak stall with them for second round. Ok my point is, steamboat makes me fat. REAL FAT.

Back to my story. Although I had steamboat for dinner the day before with jimui-s, I still have no concern about gaining weight, and went crazy eating sooooooo muchhhhh during this small trip to Penang. Well it is not my fault. First, it is Penang's fault for being food paradise. Second, it was my parents' fault for ordering so much of food. #defensive

The freaking delicious char kuey teow!

Soft mochi

All I can say is..

Ok maybe not say. Just make that face expression instead.

One thing I was surprised about is the excessive amount of polystyrene they used. Given the heavy flow of customers and the need to accommodate to the crowd, I understand the usage of polystyrene in business perspective. Hope the authorities in Penang can do something about it because producing such high amount of polystyrene in just one day is definitely not good for our mother earth yo!

Tomorrow gotta go back to KJ after a long weekend at home. Sigh.

I'm still having dilemma in making some big life decision but hopefully I can sort it out next week.

Working life, here I come!

Project 365: 28/365

Since I'm back for a long weekend, I took this opportunity to go out with my jimui yo! Sadly the pig wc couldn't join us ARGHHH I'M DYING FOR SING-K SESSION!

We had steamboat so we can chit chat (more like kisiao aka get crazy) while gracefully bbq ham. Seriously? Wana have steamboat but end up eating ham? Yes that's us heik heik heik

It was really great talking and laughing happily =) Going out with them is always my sweet little getaway from life. There's no need for pretense HAHAHA eat a bit more graceful also can get busted for being fake hahaha they know my true color!

Honestly I was a bit disappointed and so I moved on from chasing this series.

But then few days ago I ran out of drama series to watch. Under such circumstances I have no other option but to continue with this series.

And man, it was amazing.

Of course the lead actors who were supposed to be violist, were faking it when they had to play the violin, just like any other shallow drama series. But they fooled me! Because they really looked like they were playing it right and it was like they've been playing it for years! Ok maybe I have zero talent in music stuff so I couldn't tell, but normally these acts won't fool me one ok! #defensive

I guess it's a little unfair for people to label this series as idol series. People would expect rainbows and unicorns story like how a ordinary girl bumped into a rich guy who lost his memory this and that la. And given that Aaron is such a sweetheart, people would wana see him being all charming and gentle. So shallow fans like moi would be disappointed at first.

Seriously, if you give it a chance, you'll see it's a beautiful artwork, not some shallow idol series.

It wouldn't entertain you. Because it digs into the deepest and darkest side of human, bring it out right in front of your eyes, and demonstrate the influence of dark side to you. It's like forcing you to watch how a mother gives birth. Ok I'm obviously exaggerating HAHAHA but yea..more or less lah.

But then, it also shows how preserving a ray of light, a sense of right and wrong, a mixture of innocence and maturity, are so important for humanity. It's even more significant than throwing away our life principles and keep compromising to reality just to survive.

I love this series. I love how it tells me sometimes dark side of human being is inevitable under certain circumstances. I love that it shows me how keeping to your principles is somehow childish, but definitely a right thing to do. And I love that it sends me a message saying when we blame other people for turning us into somebody that we don't even recognize ourselves, surprise surprise, we are also the reason why some other people changed.

So yea..you can't watch this series thinking that it'll entertain you. But you must watch it because it is a serious series, the whole production team were serious about bringing a positive change to the audience, it is certainly good for your soul. I don't understand the music they used every episode, but upon following the director's weibo, I came to realize the fact that every piece of music they used has a certain meaning (in which I am too shallow to understand #pout).

Find out the hidden message from ALICE IN WONDER CITY which is in stored for you. =D

Project 365: 27/365

Yesterday I bought 7pm train back to Ipoh and I finished work at 6pm. It takes around 30minutes to reach KL sentral so I thought it was ok for me, I don't have to wait few hours to take the next train at 9pm.

Obviously the universe failed me.

Scumbag taxi which can be seen everywhere when I don't need one, was out of sight when I needed it the most! It was around 6.15pm already so I was a little panicked. I even asked another malay girl who was also trying to get a cab to go together, so one competitor less #smart

Eventually we got a cab at 6.22pm wtf wtf wtf damnnnnnn gan jeong (nervous) I tell you! Bobo who was gonna take the train with me kept texting me to update my location hahaha and bf kept calling me to make sure I wasn't late.

At one point I felt annoyed of his texts and calls because I was already going and I tried my best to be fast already but him kept wanting to make sure I get to Kelana Jaya LRT station and demanded me to report to him when I reach, grrrrrrr need or not!

My Touch 'n Go card ran out of credit so I had to take extra 2minutes to queue up and get the chip from ticket vending machine. He kept calling and I just couldn't stop what I was doing to answer his call. So I quickly get the freaking chip and go through the turnstile. I heard the LRT was coming so I was trying to rush to the platform.

I accidentally bumped into a careless passenger so I quickly said sorry but bloody hell that fella bumped back at me! I was rushing so I couldn't process his action in my mind. I looked up, and THERE HE WAS! MY STUPID BF!!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

He was never able to pull any kind of surprises because I JUST KNOW when he is up to something! But this time I totally slipped! And fortunately, this is a happy surprise (yes he gave some bad surprises before HAHAHA dumbo) because we wouldn't be able to see each other for a long weekend so he took the trouble to just come and rush through the journey with me. Mind you we are not those annoying couple who can't stand being apart for a day. We've been through 3 years of long distance ok don't play play! #proud

And I made it to the train, having him to calm me down and pulled me through the HEAVY CROWD in KL sentral ermahgerd I never knew how a place can be soooooo packed with people!

Then we live happily ever after.

Project 365: 26/365

So..I've been playing around with my blog to change things and all. You're currently looking at my new version of blog. Same design but just updated HAHAHA

But damn la I have no habit of recording things ever! So yea..I can't show you the difference between this version and the previous one. #punch-my-chest

Anyway, if you've been reading my blog, you would notice my theme was blue, white and PINK. Fyi, Debbie is my blog manager/designer. I've asked her for this favor to settle my blog design so I can be motivated to blog in ma little cute space LOL.

My request was that I wanted blue and white theme. Because BLUE IS MY FAVOURITE COLOR oh don't worry about the caps lock I just wana make it clear to you so if you happen to feel like giving me a small gift or something you can get it in BLUE but yea it's nothing..no big deal really #cunning

Ish got diverted. I was saying..I love blue and I think blue goes best with white. I left everything else to Debbie to decide because I just wanted to write. It then turned out great, informal and cheeky, just the way I liked it.

Everything was great, rainbows and unicorns. But whenever I visit her blog and come back to mine, it's like writing on the same style of blog. As in Debbie left her trace in my blog, and it doesn't portray who I am. I mean..seriously..do you see any pink-ish characteristic in my writing?

So finally I couldn't take it. I changed everything pink into blue and I want my blog to be very blue-ish til you're annoyed wtf nawww la I don't mean it oneee I just really really REALLY love blue! #annoying-blogger-girl

So yea. It is now finally more me, less Debbie HAHAHA I still think our style is similar and we like almost the same thing..who ask us to be #soulmate right!

Project 365: 25/365

Next Friday is the last day of my internship. Three years of university life past within a blink of eye! Passed through exams, Final Year Project and internship LIKE A BOSS! Meh. More like a loser

#okay.jpg

I've learned a lot of lesson the hard way. I've gone through most of the possible things an Asian student can most probably go through. It makes me who I am today, and I thank every-freaking-body who came into my life. My life's damn awesome because of you, because of all the happenings! I don't regret having you and having those moments with you =)

But I think one thing I regret the most is not travelling around Borneo.

Due to financial constraint, I couldn't even survive on PTPTN spending only on food (and maybe one or two outings) fml. Everytime during sem break I tend to do 'charity-based' work LOL so I couldn't save much money for my own personal use.

And also I am very very bad in managing my money. One day I have 50bucks, the next day it would be gone and I would have no idea how it happen. Cy attempted to make me a finance management notebook because I saw one cute notebook in an online shop and gave myself an excuse to buy it to record my finance bullshit one, cy saw right through me and stopped me from buying, and she wanted to make me one.

Here's the thing. I wanted a notebook like that just because it was cute. But if my friend is gonna go through all the trouble making it for me to manage my finance then I will HAVE TO use it but I DON'T WANT TO hahahaha so I tried to change topic and divert her attention whenever she thought of a design or wana look for material. Aaaaaand we graduated and parted hahaha!

So yea..I've never travel to Borneo. Few weeks ago when I was planning my convo family trip, I came across Semporna, a place at Sabah.

Whoa totally blew my mind away! Imma go there one day! WAIT FOR MOI!

Another thing I regret is that I've never climbed Mount Kinabalu. If you know me in person you would have laugh at me so hard your stomach burst wtf. Because my body is FULL OF FAT THAT THE ONLY VISIBLE THING YOU CAN SEE IS MEAT.

Probably like this, but less energetic. Come on wey this dude is like so active and all. I can't even last three minutes of his adventure #shame

I will never have the stamina to do this. I tried exercising by going up to 13th floor by stairs and by the end of the exercise, I just winded up go back and EAT MORE THAN USUAL because it was too exhausting.

It would be a really great achievement and I would be proud of myself if I can pull this off. But maybe..just maybe..I don't really care about this achievement and stuff..you know..#look-somewhere-else

If you're fit, with stamina, exercise regularly, optional:got muscle (you're probably gay based on government's given guideline to identify gays), I guess it is no harm trying this out. It'll be fun! =)

Project 365: 24/365

I'm currently watching this drama called "Absolute Darling" Taiwan version.

It's a story about a girl who's lonely and desperate for love, surfing the net during midnight scouting for something to grab her attention. And then she stumbled upon a site which sells boyfriend robot wtf sound so dumb describing like this but actually it is still quite nice one!

The story line is same old same old lah..where the robot suddenly learn human's feeling, and try to turn from being a robot to real human being.

The manufacturing company was trying to come up with formulars and algorithms to configure perfect love. What we'd normally do is mock its doings and say 'Haiya not possible one lah they gila meh!' #oppa-Malaysian-style.

But look around you.

Many people are so afraid of love, and the hurt feeling that comes with it. And then, they turn off their emotion, not offering love and not believing in love.

Behold, human. Your selfishness and cruelty has successfully created robots among us. Good job being a scumbag.

Project 365: 23/365

Scenario: When you're presented with two gift boxes with different size (with different gift inside), with the guarantee that the bigger box has high value gift, the smaller box might or might not have higher value gift, and you're to choose the box that brings more value to you, which would you choose?

Would you choose the bigger box since you've been assured with the high value gift, or would you take the risk and choose the smaller one?

Risk taking is an entrepreneurial spirit that leads you to success.

But can we say not taking risk makes you a failure? Can we say not taking risk makes you lower than risk takers?

Wanting a simple and secured life is one's choice. It all depends on how one perceives successfulness. Maybe his/her sense of successfulness is to live a secured life.

Taking risk is a knowledge. You have to work hard to assure yourself that choosing smaller box is not a risk.

Risk. Uncertainty. Fear. Lack of faith.

They are all connected.

When you have no faith in your idea and your ability, when you are not sure whether it will work, when you have fear for failure, when you're not making the choice because you believe in it, but because you HAVE TO, you are not taking a risk. You are just placing a bet. You are gambling.

Because if you did sufficient amount of research, finding out facts, enhancing your own skills, believe that your idea will work, it is not taking a risk anymore. It is more like doing what you truly have faith in, without any doubt. It only appear like risk taking to people who didn't work on it and understand it like you do.

You won't win every bet you've placed. Eventually you'll need skills, instead of luck.

Project 365: 22/365

I tried to write this post with only "kjdnfjhdfjdklfdfj" all the way and this is the time I wish I have no readers so nobody would find out and I'm still fulfilling my Project 365 HAHAHA #self-delusion

I'm currently reading a book named "Big Girl" by Danielle Steel. There's one part from the book that I really like. It sounded like this:

She felt different all her life, out of step and she tried so hard to conform. But now, they are all going out into a world where they would be all different, where no one would fit in, where they had to be themselves to succeed, and follow their own paths.

How true!

When we were in our teens day, we seek the sense of belonging, doing all we can to fit in, and feel terribly out of place when we are different, afraid to be known as 'weirdo'.

And then we learn that 'different is good'. We have to learn how to look nothing like our peers. And we constantly need to prove a point that we are special, telling people to take it or leave it.

Ah life. Forever makes us do the mainstream thing.

******************************************************************

Fyi, I come from a small city in Malaysia, Ipoh. The public transport there suckx to the very max. If you wana go around, you can only rely on self transport. That's why I was thrilled to learn that I can go almost anywhere I want in KL/PJ by public transport, without relying on anybody.

But the universe failed me.

I still can go anywhere I want, provided if I turn off my sense of time or punctuality. I will be late for practically every outing but being late doesn't seem like an issue for anyone here (except for me getting late for work and make yj wait for 999999999minutes wtf). I can't even plan my travel time and estimate my journey because the bus schedule is unpredictable GRRRRRRRRR!

The best thing is, to get to an area just 15-20mins from your place, because the train route f-ed up, it'll take you 2hours to reach WHY LIKE THIS LA YOU TELL ME!!! And I can do nothing but day dream thanks to my motion sickness! Damn unproductive you know!

I'm sure I'm not the only ~~spoilt brat~~ dissatisfied citizen who complained.

So what's your view on Malaysia's public transport system?

It's ok..comment away! I reassure you this is not my attempt to drag you with me should I get into trouble. #cunning

Project 365: 21/365

I was never a fan of sweet stuff. The reason why I'm fat is never about eating too much sweet snack or dessert (unless you wana count the countless cups of Vico/Milo that I took but I don't even like their sweetness! #denial).

I love salty food VERY MUCH but I am not ham sup ok if you know what I mean! Ok la the word 'ham'=salty in chinese and ham sup=horny. #lame

Living within walking distance from Paradigm Mall gave me the opportunity to haz SnowFlake OMFG IT IS THE NICEST THING EVER ALTHOUGH I AM TYPING IN CAPS LOCK TO EXAGGERATE! It's like having all my favourite chinese style desserts in a single bow! Every spoon fed into my mouth (just a method of describing ok I self-feed one #forever-alone.jpg) is soooooooo soothing! I can eat this every day. Meh just kidding. I don't wana grow annoyed to it. LOL

And I oso had the opportunity to try Auntie Anne's pretzel. #out-of-word

Seriously. #out-of-word.

It was like heaven burst in my mouth. 'nuf said.

No picture ar pigi google yourself HAHAHA #lazy-blogger

And today I enjoyed my Sunday sitting down and haz blueberry cake. I took time to enjoy the cake, taking only a small bite each time, accompany with nice hot jasmine tea. It was so peaceful, and it made me feel thankful for things in life (although my air bed DIED on me, leave me sleeping on cold hard floor now..LITERALLY). It was as if..the wounds on my heart were comforted. And that it hurts less.

Funny right? It doesn't even make any sense. It's just food that doesn't do good to your health. But well, I just experienced the magical moment. So..I duno. I just loved it. *shrug

I'm not saying eating sweet dessert/food is good ok! Again, MODERATION. Know what you're doing. how much you're eating, so you won't end up like me. Well I can post a picture of my gigantic tummy as your benchmark but I'm afraid it might scared (or scare? grammar nazi please!) you off that you don't ever wana read my blog anymore #paranoid

Maybe all we need is just a break. To enjoy and appreciate what we already have.

Project 365: 20/365

Woohoo I finally have something to blog about!

So the LOOPies had a meet-up with Refuge for the Refugees (RFTR) guys to discuss about our first project with them.

We were chilling at Starbucks while waiting for them, catching up with each other and chit chatting. And then a group of youngsters barged in! They looked so young and energetic! #old-me

And then they introduced themselves and started telling us how they founded Refuge for the Refugees (RFTR). Good news is that they are trying to go NGO! Hope they can sort it out asap and they can start expanding the cause to other institutions.

Anyway, the discussion went AWESOME! Everybody was giving their input, the RFTR guys were doing their best to give us the context and help us understand what can or cannot be done. I really admire what they are doing. Get this, they don't just give all the big talks but not work done. They actually go around to settle things and make something out of nothing! And they devotedly volunteer themselves in Chin's Education Center and teach the kids EVERY WEEK. Seriously man..what the hell I was doing when I was 18?! Definitely not this!

Some of us adult (#okay.jpg have to admit la what to do) go through so many phases of life, strive for excellent grade, try to involve ourselves in school activities to learn soft skills, just so one day we can offer what we have to the society one day. And they just skipped all these phases and go directly to contributing for a good cause, though they are only 18 and are freshmen in college.

I realised when we bow down less to the reality, we are one step closer to our dream. If only we take a break from all the things we were SUPPOSED to do, like getting good grades, getting a soul sucking but pays damn well's job etc etc, and focus on why we are here on Earth, maybe..just maybe, your little break could help a group of people in need.

So dear readers, if you are interested in lending a helping hand (in ANY way, even just sharing their page or message!) to this group of inspiring young people with their good cause, please join us in the League of Ordinary People (LOOP) or their group, Refuge for the Refugees (RFTR). Do follow us on our Twitter to virtually join in our discussion and share our thoughts! Come join don't shy shy!

Project 365: 19/365

Yesterday I stumbled upon http://www.babyou.com/ (姐妹淘). It's a Taiwan-based website targeted on female users. There are articles about relationship, fashion, health, parenting and special columns. It is founded by one of the most inspiring Taiwan hostess, Matidla Tao Jing Ying (陶晶莹) to focus on women's welfare and life.

I've always loved reading. Especially fiction novel with ancient background. You bet I love Louis Cha Leong Yeung (金庸)'s creation and Ni Kuang(倪匡)'s awesome science fiction. Now I've grown to love non-fiction book. But that's another story to tell.

I'm constantly awed by a writer's capability to describe things in detail, to paint a picture in reader's mind so vividly as if it is happening right at the moment when we read it. I remember when I read Louis' book, I imagined my version of how the characters and the scenes look like. Now we have drama to help us visualize, but they are never as awesome as how I imagined it.

But in this case, the articles in this website describe social phenomena, how women handle relationship problem, feelings and thoughts. It was like..reading my mind out loud! It was genuine, it was bold, and it was like striping off your protection layer and make you stand in front of a mirror naked.

That's the power of WORD!

Whether you realize it or not, the way you say things and the word you choose to use, MATTERS (or matter wtf grammar nazi please correct me tqvm!).

It is an art to speak/express ourselves without misleading people to doubt our original intention. I guess we are all still learning that.

So..gambatte lah! Thanks for reading this pointless post HAHAHA *flying kiss

Project 365: 18/365

When Google Plus was still in its beta testing, I was invited to join but because it was a ghost town, I didn't stay.

Now, it is still a ghost town.

HAHAHA but much better lah. I realised there are much more things we can do there compared to Facebook for example email, blogging, photo upload and EDITING OMG TOTALLY AMAZING, news and info sharing. It is like Facebook+Twitter but with more controls.

Well..the Harp Darp in me talking:

"Maybe instead of trying to replace any social networking sites (or maybe it never try so #okay.jpg), Google Plus can position itself to be different, but not all-in-one?"

Or maybe all-in-one is different #stupid. I haven't gone through any articles about Google Plus yet, just writing this based on my own user experience so if you happen to be a wise man in this, please stood up wtf I bet you didn't realised that's what my comment link is! If only you scroll to the bottom of the post, you'll see:

So please comment! #buay-paiseh

Hahaha. Anyway, I still think Google Plus is pretty awesome already. Maybe it's just that Metcalfe's Law failed them (lemme google Metcalfe's Law for you -> Click Here Yo! ). So if you're interested to explore new things, come and sign up at Google Plus and join me here!

Btw, haiz fml lah my apartment building is having water shortage. Thank God for the skills I've picked up in Labuan, I can bathe with little water. Yj even bathed in our office WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN. #facepalm.

The water has turned brownish haiz so I used drinking water to do all the dirty jobs. Oh ya this morning after I went to toilet, I tried to flushed but since the water was brownish, it was like I never flush! You get what I mean? No? No picture still wtf. Damn embarrassing! I kept flushing hoping that some point the water would be clean and not brownish.

Well, it didn't happen. So I left to work, hoping that my roommate wouldn't feel weird looking at the totally-flushed but still look like un-flushed toilet bowl #double-face-palm.

Please quickly fix the freaking water pump so we can haz water T.T

Thanks for reading *wave

Project 365: 17/365

Since I have absolutely nothing to talk about #sigh, might as well talk about the title from yesterday's Incitement event title --- "What if...". ~~#mainstream~~ #inspired

People take "what if" differently. Some think that they should live their lives in a way that they wouldn't regret looking back to their choices and wonder what if they took another different path. They would fearlessly go with their instinct and tell themselves this is their choice and there's no looking back.

Yea in life, we have to make decisions and it is really hard. What if we made a wrong one? What if the other option turns out to be a better choice? What if..what if..

I agree wholeheartedly that it requires a certain extent of wisdom, observation and experience before we make a decision on something. I do believe that after going through dilemma like this, if the outcome is not satisfactory, it is very heartbreaking.

And honestly, WE NEED THE THOUGHT OF "WHAT IF".

Being a human is not as meaningful if we never love, never hate, never get mad, never go crazy, never do what we thought we couldn't do, and never regret what we didn't do/did.

And of course, I also believe in moderation. After we made a choice, perhaps a real bad one, it is okay to wonder the what-ifs. Why not right? We are human, we are made to think and feel. But not to the extent that it influences our positivity, our motivation and our drive to do better.

So why don't we just cut loose, look at the past, ask ourselves, what if I made another choice..

Maybe..just maybe..we can see the road not taken appear itself in our imaginations, like a dream come true. =)

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim

Because it was grassy and wanted wear,

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I marked the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Project 365: 16/365

Just back from Incitement's event! It was awesome!

One of the most outstanding talks is about increasing our productivity by double or even triple. The speaker emphasized that the punishment for not being able to achieve a target must be very very radical and extreme. The method that the speaker took was flushing $250 down the toilet! He took a video of it as a prove. And yes HE LITERALLY TEAR UP THE CASH INTO PIECES AND FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET! We were like ermahgerd you're kidding me right but he is not.

The conclusion is: Poor people cannot afford procrastination HAHAHA

Seriously lah I just can't do it. I admit it would be VERY effective on me because I'd rather kill myself than tearing up money and flush it down the toilet. #moneyminded

But the speaker was right about something. The punishment must be really terrible and you'd feel very very terrible doing it. I was thinking, yea I could skip a meal or two if I don't reach my goal, but then I would also think 'meh..take it as dieting loh no big deal'. And then it would be as if the punishment would still do good to me so I won't mind not reaching my goal.

Damn. Destroying money is really the only way???

Nehmind I'm ok with my productivity HAHAHAHA #selfGiveUp

And and the first flash slide (as in impromptu slide presentation) about alien was DAMN funny!! I was practically laughing the whole time trollolol coz I wasn't the one up there HAHAHA. Me being a typical Malaysian chickened out when they asked for volunteer to do the presentation. And the volunteer, being a typical westerner, went and gave a kick ass presentation! #salute+shame

Haha ok la today's awesome, because I attended an awesome event that promotes awesomeness with awesome companion HAHAHA

So if you're interested to join this awesome event (probably around next month), visit Incitement's Facebook Page and prepare to be awed!

Wait for my companion of the night to blog about this and I shall link you to the post. There are awesome pictures inside. Meh not really.

Night y'all!

Project 365: 15/365

I am still not recovered from scumbag Sunday's headache!!! #EXPLODE

So now the first year uni students are enrolling into local universities. I was reading updates posted by the orientation committee and GOSH I FREAKING GRADUATED! #old

I can't believe my uni life has already ended. I still remember vividly the moment when I found out I was gonna be continuing my uni life in UMSKAL wtf. Not even UMS. Fyi UMSKAL=Universiti Malaysia Sabah Kampus Antarabangsa Labuan(Labuan International Campus). There's nothing so 'international' about it, except for a few international students from China and Turkey. Everything about it is still very 'local' wan!

I remember I cried knowing that I have to go over to east coast to study for three years. Scumbag friends who said we would apply to UMS together (because apparently applying to east coast uni will increase the possibility of getting in to local uni for weak students like us) and study there together got other universities instead of UMS haiz. E-Commerce was the course allocated to me #bigbigsigh I din know a shit about it and I just had to accept it anyhow.

Then mum and I rushed over documentations and check-ups, cousin helped me get my flight/bus ticket ready and I was fortunate enough to have my ex-classmate to go together with. Went there, got through orientation, ice-breaking, and all the ups-and-downs, HERE I AM writing this blog with such wisdom and insight wtf wtf naww laa

But I remember every heartbreak when I had to leave home for new semester, every gathering and pillow talk with my babes, the reluctance to go back to uni was really really sibeh high. I had to miss loved ones' birthdays, special occasions, friends coming back from oversea etc. I guess that's human nature, that we tend to yearn for something we don't have/can't get.

But it teaches me to appreciate life, people and things. I'm now having internship in PJ and I make sure I spend every weekend to connect with my soulmate debbie (not angie wtf coz I am not 4feet9 but i am 80kilograms #witty), my jimui-s, bf, and my dearest family yo! The only thing I'm not connecting to right now is my monnnay! Do you know how fast water flows from waterfall! That's how fast my money flows from my pocket T.T (water/money->flows? or flow? #looking-for-grammar-nazi-to-correct-me-tqvm)

So I'm done reminiscing the past. Imma reward myself with a super nice dinner (fake-ramen+egg+seaweed+seafoodTofu) and see whether my headache can be cured! See you tomorrow *bow

Project 365: 14/365

I have a confession to make.

I haven't watch The Avengers.

Now drop the tomatoes and eggs and your mockery tqvm.

So last Friday we went to colleague's open house and he played the BluRay version of The Avengers for us to watch.

I mean..of course it is awesome and all that (although yj kinda fell asleep wtf). But...

Can you look at The Avengers the same way again after reading all the related posts in 9gag like below:

Now do you get what I mean!

Whichever character is up, I will connect them to the posts and jokes I've read and seriously I just can't seem to watch the movie properly omfg Imma watch a movie before 9gaggers do if not they will ruin the movie for me not that I don't enjoy the gags I love the gags it's just that I wana watch the movie as well do you get what I mean wtf this is too long for a sentence #okay.jpg

Anyway, something is very wrong on Sunday. It must the sun, or the heat, or the weather or something wtf. I get tired very easily and I had headache since morning. #ItsAtrap.jpg because I took a nap and it's like whole day's gone and tomorrow is Monday already!

I'm looking forward to Monday woohoo! I guess if we don't like Mondays, we need to do something about it, and I've done something about it (neh my attitude problem) so yeah..yay Monday! I sound like a faker don't I #okay.jpg

So good night to my fellow readers, and have a blessed Monday! Don't pout HAHAHA

Ooooo post number 13! I promise it won't bring suay-ness to you HAHAHA

So during our precious holiday, me and yj went to a refugee school at Bukit Jalil. It was really an eye opener for me to see how some people need to struggle to survive, while we are just chilling under the protection from our country.

Yes I can't deny the flaws we have in our country, but seriously we are so blessed enough to be able to go through everyday of our lives peacefully (unless Lynas project failed #touch-every-piece-of-wood-i-can-find). The refugee that we talked to, started the school to help other refugees' children to get education.

Now, I don't really know them that well, and I judge only but its cover, so my remarks are just my shallow mere observation ok. I can see that the surrounding, the school, the classrooms, the facilities are really in bad condition. And that they can only survive but getting some on-and-off help from UNHCR (an agency to help refugee) and volunteers. But they are so grateful. They still live their life with hopeful heart.

From what he told us, when these Burmese children reach 15 years old, no matter how they like studying, they'd have to bow down to reality and start working to support the family. And they constantly need to fork out money due to death, jail bail (working without permit as they are just refugees) etc for each other. As we know, their pay is relatively low and hence, their struggle has no end. The most successful example they know is just Burmese who successfully own a grocery store or something.

To me, the only way to break this vicious cycle is through education. Only with knowledge and the ability to acknowledge things are they able to truly live. Nobody is meant to be seen/treated lower than other human being. So LOOP gonna do something about this and hopefully it'll help them to sustain themselves. If you're interested to know more, please contact me. What you're reading is just a small corner of an iceberg.

Anyway, some smartass (by some I mean one wtf) is mentioned in a video from Incitement fuyohhhh you gonna havta watch it to know who it is (and fyl if you dun actually know this person after watching the video but I promise the video/the group posting it is very inspiring one!)

Nah here it is!
