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.
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
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!
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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,
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.
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. =)
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
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.
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.

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. =)
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
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!
I've been busy and sick for the past few days and hence the daily life posts you've read the past few days.
Just now I wanted to blog about my ultimate rage about my convo studio photoshoot which is also a bit pointless because it's a past and I'm never going back to L'unico Wedding Gallery in KK (yea I wanted people who googled it would find this TROLLOLOL) so be a lamb and hop over to Deb's post to read about it! Also because I didn't save it properly and it went missing HAHAHA or else I think I would be writing about that today.
But maybe not being able to save it is a sign that I must write about what I encountered intellectually (LOL) today and share it to you guys.
I've always been emphasizing about doing what we like and the money will come. But I read an article from Harvard Business Review's blog and it is about the things I've been talking about all these while. Do read the article over here. It is a good piece and showed me a whole new perspective but of course everybody is entitled to their own opinion about certain other things.
If you're a faithful reader of mine, you would know how my blog got its name (if you don't, just read my second post). My stand is always to encourage people to find their passion and go for it, don't worry about the money because it will come and you career can be developed over time.
But after reading the article, my perspectives and views are widen. So fellow readers below 22, READ MORE AND TRUST ME, YOU WILL GROW WISER SOMEHOW! LOL
All these while I've left out one of the most important key point. The reason how money will come and career will grow is that YOU BECOME GOOD AT DOING IT.
For example if you like history and writing, instead of being a history professor in a university, you decided to write a historical book and chase your passion. You can be a successful writer and your book will sell IF AND ONLY IF YOU ARE GOOD IN WRITING, KNOW YOUR FACTS & STUFF, AND CREATIVE (obviously. how else people gonna buy a freaking historical book and open it. LOL).
Or you just finish a boring math degree (I'm not saying math is boring, I'm just giving a context to my assumed character as an example k #timid). But you love singing so you decided to screw maths and be a singer. You can be the next superstar provided if you have an awesome talent in singing (seriously some people are just delusional), have the whole package or have a good story to tell. Otherwise you will find yourself sitting at home doing absolutely nothing but uploading singing video of yours, terrifying le internet users.
Take another example. You have absolutely no idea what to do for a living so you just try out some stuff. Eventually your skills developed first before your passion towards it. Having the skills and being good at it, makes you LOVE doing it. And of course you are paid well for doing an awesome job.
Now you get what I mean?
Having such perspective makes me feel like my thoughts about dreams and reality come tumbling down. Maybe an accounting guy who loves fashion never take the step to get involved in fashion line because he is simply terrible at it and he can never make a good career out of it(hello loving it doesn't mean good at it but this is just an shallow example). This is not about dreams and reality anymore, but more like skills and interest.
Because if you're entrepreneurial waiter (wah my context is very creative loh!), you would have applied your skills developed while you were waiting on your new business venture. You would know that you're good at starting a business when you take that step. If you know you're bad at it you would never do it right? Or you would wait for the right moment to do it.
But if you just find it hard to leave your current job to chase your passion because it pays your bills and you can enjoy a luxurious time once in a while, well that's just being greedy. And so it is not about dreams and reality, it's about being greedy or not.
Yes we can't be selfish to go for our passion without taking family's welfare into account, putting them in financial difficulties by taking a risk. But if we know what we want, we know how to achieve it, and we are good at it, it is only the matter of courage to take that leap of faith. Who said Rome can be built in one day? Who said you can be a superstar without years of training and a bit of savings to maintain your appearance? All of those need serious planning.
KL/PJ's air and weather is so bad that everyone is falling sick!
Seriously I can't even inhale and take in fresh air. It's all dusty and contaminated. This habitat is probably suitable only for people who want to be in indoor 24/7.
Today when I was going to client's site, everywhere I go, there are people coughing and sneezing. When I was in the office, the coughing rhythm could be composed as a song already @_@
You know how the wolf/dog howls? Like a dog is howling at a place, and then another dog heard it from another place and howl back, and the howling spread?
Well today's coughing was like that wtf. And then people just gave each other an encouraging smile to recover from this dreadful sickness.
I think I've been sick for a month and I wasn't able to haz snowflake or sing k because I couldn't stop coughing T.T
ME WANT RECOVER!!!
Sometimes I wonder..will my body just give up and I never recover from this sickness?
Today yj shared a video at the League of Ordinary People (LOOP) Facebook group, tagging Refuge for the Refugees (RFTR) group. I played it, and I felt so damn freaking proud of that bunch of awesome teens!
I've blogged about our LOOP's meeting with RFTR guys before. It was a very moving meeting, we've generated M-A-N-Y outputs for them and honestly at that moment I was thinking it might take a while for them to actually process what we suggested, and eventually it might not be done also if their school is getting hectic.
But damn, THEY DID IT! They freaking did it! They didn't just say and forget about it, but they went all out trying to make it happen, and they did it!
From a friends' random charitable activity, they decided it was worth making as a cause, and thus on 9 September, they went NGO!
I don't know them personally but from the way they talk about RFTR and the happenings & encounters with the kids, you can see their spirit and enthusiasm sparkling in their eyes. It's not even bring them profit or fame. They are not becoming some successful businessmen or something. But yet they did it like it is fulfilling their life satisfaction. I truly admire that.
So I hereby wish you guys all the best in your upcoming project (that I will surely post about it later! =D) and keep up the good work! No matter how it is gonna be, at this moment, you guys are a bunch of real wonderful person. =)
Dear readers, please do watch this video which is covered by The Star! (sidenote: I've been to this education centre and the kids there wana learn more than us do. Funny how human being take things for granted when it comes free, like education. :S)
My room is way beyond 1 Malaysia, breaking straight to international level yo!
There's me (Chinese), Kesh (Indian), Bell (Malay) and Amri (Foreigner)! We always try to keep our conversation at international level too (using English la) so that we can all understand each other but si B likes to ask me to tutor her in Mandarin.
Today's K's birthday. I didn't know until I woke up this morning and she asked me if the outfit she was gonna wear is nice because she was gonna celebrate her birthday with that outfit HAHAHA I blanked out for a while until I realized she just told me today's her birthday! So straight forward lah HAHAHA
And then she brought back KFC for us so we haz KFC om nom nom nom wtf I had 3 pieces of fried chicken T.T
And then and then they camwhored. I iz the photographer HAHAHA!
Liz aka Rent collector, Bell, Kesh, Amri! Bunch of posers!
And then I also hiao, wana take picture with them hees
The dramatic part cannot reveal. Me iz no gossip girl but you know you love me. xoxo
I've been working in this company since internship, and time past so fast I didn't even realize this month is the fifth month already (and that I'm aging already because the new guy thought I was 24 fml)!
In this five months, I notice the word I used the most is "I'm not sure".
Until today I can only understand 0.2% of my colleagues' work related conversation. I've been telling people the same percentage since internship time and it hasn't increase a bit T.T
And I'm supposed to be sitting for a certification exam but here I am..blogging about me not knowing most of the things I'm supposed to know at work. T.T
Every time I came across something that I don't understand, I find it hard to just drop what I was doing at the moment and look it up. Then I would just brushed it off. That's why up until now, I am still 'not sure' about many things.
So, TIME FOR A CHANGE!
I told myself I must decrease the percentage of me saying "I'm not sure" when problem comes up, and increase my understanding towards my colleagues' work conversation (maybe some gossip HAHAHA sorry that's my female hormone talking).
So, dreadful readings, I'M COMING! soon. Maybe tomorrow. HAHAHAHAHA
So, did you watched the video I've posted yesterday? Did you or did you not! HAHAHA
Anyway, it seems that I provoked a die hard James Bond fan by saying that Skyfall sucks (yes you heard me trollolol). It can't be just me right? Seriously guys, that predictable story line, the lack of detail illustration, the inability to link the title to the movie, you guys seriously can't see? LOL ok ah if you are a fan, please don't be mad coz it's just my insignificant movie review hahaha #coward
Today I was in the church waiting for le bf to finish playing for praise & worship session. Three boys (12years old max) came and sit beside me. I think they just finished choir practice or something because they were singing 'Ave Maria' with harmony wtf hahaha.
Then one of the boys picked up a guitar and started strumming. Man it was really good! Then another boy started singing with it and the last boy danced with the music. I looked at them and I didn't realize the big grin on my face. =)
They brought back the purest state of music, using single music instrument paired with body instrument (voice) to produce that awesome music to the soul. I love the dancing and I love the smile on their faces. They were so happy and innocent. This is the moment that I wana freeze!
Because it makes me remember how blessed we are to be able to live healthily, and that we have the ability to pursue our dreams and a better future. I feel blessed to be able to be with my loved ones, to be able to work at an awesome environment, to be educated, to be able to think, to be able to choose, to be able to speak, to be able to try out different things in the world (except for drugs ok drugs are bad and you don't need to try it to know wtf this is an special message for my underage readers if I have any wtf wtf), and to be able to listen, enjoy and feel the music, the laughter and the happiness of the kids.
I was just talking about blogging with Deb and cy, because apparently cy is making a breakthrough for her blog after four years of cultivating it LOL.
After blogging continuously for 75 days, I still find it hard to just talk about my thoughts publicly (of course it is also because there's simply no constant inspiration for me to actually blog everyday).
Yesterday night boss organized a bonding session with all of us but I couldn't attend #sour. He had also treated us to watch Skyfall on last Thurs and I sorta slept a little during the movie HAHAHA. I'm proud to say, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SLEPT. HAHAHAHA! The movie was a big disappointment and I'm proud to say, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT IT SUCKED! Skyfall fans please don't hate on me. I don't enjoy action movie but I've watched sufficient action movies (forced by bf) to say that Skyfall does suck. My personal rating would be 4/10 but of course what I think doesn't matter one wtf wtf.
Alright I had a meaningless day (nap TWICE with napmare fml) so let me just end my post with one of the most anticipated song this year's music video. Enjoy! HAHAHA I know I would =P
Fuyoh there's a new guy in the office and I'm a senior (to him only) already HAHAHAHA!
Today I finally watched the movie that I wanted to watch since the beginning of the year!
Yes yes I am shallow and shit. This movie is ALL ABOUT CREATING UNNECESSARY DRAMA but guess who loves it!
THIS GIRL! *two thumbs pointing self*
I've been a big fan of the drama when it first came out. The story was of course exaggerated but the messages are so real and brutal, can bitchslap you on your face!
This movie is sort of like a fan treat, because the ending of the drama was ambiguous and a die hard fan like me would wana know what happen next.
I won't disclose who she chose in the end (and I'm glad nobody spoil it for me before I watch so it was pure surprise hees) but the movie made me sob like a baby. Maybe it's just me. *roll eyes*
So if you like unnecessary drama and meaningful messages, do watch it. It's a perfect chick flick hahaha!
So this post I wana talk about quality and price. I'm not gonna touch on the concept of economy and stuff ok please I'm an IT student. I mean IT worker. So this is merely my humble (and a bit annoyed I guess) point of view alright!
There's a saying in Cantonese:
平耶没好耶
It means cheap things have lower quality.
I am never the best consumer in the world, ask anybody. I agree that it is essential to do a little price survey or research on the services/product we wana purchase. But I'm constantly torn by having to make a decision between quality or price, if moderate quality moderate price option doesn't exist.
This happened when I need to decide which service I should go for, for my convo studio photo shoot.
There was a offer from a studio, hiking up the prices to a certain extent that I couldn't bear. Apa ni! Just take a few shots only ok you're not some big shot photographer! In other words, I'm paying for the convo back drop wtf just a back drop can cost a fortune. I better start making one and con the next batch of graduates.
It was a big no no to that studio. The quality was a meh too. So there's basically no reason for me to take the offer. I was thinking not taking studio photoshoot at all, just ask twin no.1 to flash his DSLR on me and that's it.
One day, le me and yj were doing nothing in the office and I complained to him about the studio photoshoot. And then he showed me the best-est offer that I've ever seen in my life.
This is a groupon deal in which a set of professional studio photoshoot and 2 photo prints valued RM480 is having 98% discount, and I need to pay RM15 ONLY to get it.
It was such a good deal that I can't possibly say no to it. The cheapskate side of me was screaming with joy to have landed on this deal. They've already stated that if we need postage service (the studio is at Sabah, and they need a few days to get the photos ready), they'll charge RM30. A bit pricey given that Pos Laju only charge RM7 for document parcel, but RM30+RM15=RM45 is still cheapter than the first studio that I saw. So I went for it.
HAIZ.
It was one hell of an experience. And I don't mean it in a good way.
First, we need to schedule a time with them to do the photoshoot. So I wanted to do it via Facebook but apparently they don't receive online booking. I was like,
The reason they gave is that they wana have a standardized booking system (phone booking) due to the lack of staff.
So before I do the phone booking, I wanted to ask for the details of my photoshoot. I did it via Facebook messaging again. This time, they saw my message (thank you Facebook for your genius invention!), instead of replying, they posted a status on their page saying they wouldn't respond to online booking WTF (I can't seem to find the status on their fb..hmm). What's the point of having a social networking site if you don't want to connect to your customers? I was just asking things, not doing booking yo!
Then I just proceeded to phone booking and WTF I called thousand times (not literally but you get my point) also nobody pick up! Deb purchased the same deal so she went on calling them for booking and she got through FML. Finally the booking is settled.
Still I needed to ask them about the details but since they STILL didn't pick up my call (according to their fb status, it's due to the lack of staff), I emailed them. And I always get only few words response. T.T
Mind you, in all of my inquiries, I was as polite as I can, I wasn't rude or anything. So at least I deserve polite feedback right? After all I'm the customer. Maybe because Likas Square Apartment Hotel's customer service was way too awesome that I felt neglected by L'unico (this groupon deal studio).
On the day of my photoshoot, me and Deb got lost gao gao finding their studio but I'm not gonna go in to this because it might not be an issue for Sabah customers. Maybe it's just us, the peninsular trolls who are not familiar with KK road, that we got lost so bad we wanted to give up the photoshoot.
Anyway, during the photoshoot, me and my family were excited about getting a professional photoshoot. The reason why despite all the treatments I've gotten from them and yet I still wana do a photoshoot with them is that I can see their great final product. The photos were nice, creative and genuine even. I wanted to experience that. I wanted them to capture the happy moment of me wearing my graduation robe, standing with my family.
Well..how our photos turned out to be, is a subjective matter. Me and my family thought it was horrible, but my friends thought it looked fine (the photographer probably think it was fine too FML). Maybe because I look horrible my whole life. True story. I'm not posting the photos up here yo! #low-self-esteem. Everybody probably agrees that my photos are all quite horrible, because I can never be the pretty one around my beautiful friends so might as well be the ugliest one ON PURPOSE HAHAHA. But this one I looked horrible GENUINELY. FML max.
Except for the RM45 that I expected, there's another RM30 surprise charge on the convo back drop (I'm so gonna start making it right nao!) because apparently my groupon deal is not the convocation deal. So it came to RM75. I could have went for the first studio I saw, and get the photos immediately already.
The person in charge promised to send my photo on the same week, and I can get it the next week. But due to the lack of staff, I can only get it after TWO WEEKS.
I need to emphasize that it's my personal experience only and other customers might not experience the same thing. In fact, nobody else went through what I went through. It's only me. FML FML FML. It is not that they are bad, but in my personal opinion which doesn't matter at all (so please don't sue me tqvm), I think the main issue is the lack of staff.
This is what happen to SME(small-and-medium enterprise) subscribing to Groupon when they are not ready. Equipment wise I think they did fine. But in terms of staff, I believe they need to make a certain adjustment before putting up such a deal which would attract a huge number of customers especially during convo season.
Being the only hater to this whole experience, I'm not saying they are bad or anything. In fact the reason I chose them is because they are good (and cheap wtf). But they definitely have bad arrangement issue and unfortunately customers like me fell through the cracks.
Having too much to handle will make operational staff of the business thinks that it is expected for customers to be considerate of their situation when they have operation difficulties. The thing is, being considerate is our nature but in this case, we don't HAVE TO be. It doesn't mean we shouldn't be considerate and go on screwing them if we're treated badly. The business itself must be set up in a way that it can accommodate such crowd and should there be any issues, there ought to be a proper way of handling the issues, rather than throwing back the problems to the customers, asking them to be considerate that they couldn't attend to the issue.
So in this case, my personal experience is exactly like the quote: 平耶没好耶 (Quality doesn't come with cheap price). By quality I don't mean the quality of the final product (because it is subjective #sour), but rather the quality of the overall service. Somehow I believe if I spend RM480 on them, I wouldn't be treated like a RM15 customer. It's just my thought though.
Anyway, wish they can improve because they have the potential to make it. But I'm sure as hell won't go back anymore.
