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 =)

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

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

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.

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."
