A tribute to one of Malaysia's finest director. Famed for her unpretentious works that promotes harmony and racial unity. Her achievements includes the series of Petronas commercial which will be dearly remembered. RIP Yasmin.
Peeps... I'm back sooner than expected. Would've been in Penang by now but due to "foreseen" circumstances, I'm stuck here. Today's appointment with the property agent didn't went as well as I thought it would be. Nevertheless, I managed to secure a unit, which means half of my worries gone. As for the other unit, I'll have to wait for news from the agent who assured me that she would be able to find a suitable place by tomorrow. Oh well, I guess all I can do for now is wait and see. Two more days and I'll be officially out from this dreaded place. Well, to be honest, after spending one and a half years here I was starting to get attach to this place. Neighbours with disco lights and loud music throughout the nights, slower than dial-up connection and jail-like bars for "protection". However, it was these few days that helped me realized that no matter where a person may be, it is the people around him that makes all the difference. With my close mates all off for the holidays, the atmosphere just isn't the same. Nights are much more bearable when you know that there is someone going through it with you. Lucky for me, I managed to get my mates to move in to my new place. So there, a better place with my best mates over here. Isn't that a happy ending? Speaking of happy ending, there's this movie that I watched two weeks ago which has gotten me hooked to it's soundtrack. This light hearted movie is a must watch, predictable but nevertheless a great way to kick off the holiday season. It is none other than Enchanted with it's addictive arrangement of songs. Then there's The Golden Compass which was not bad. Love... Nicole. She's such a versatile actress. Enough about movies, Kel came back last week from Newcastle but before heading straight to Penang, he stopped by KL and stayed over at Ansel's with Nick tagging along. I met them on the second day for a shopping spree. Opps... I meant window shopping spree followed up by a family bonding session during the night. It was so much fun. It was what I needed after those stressful days. Oh, did I mentioned that Kel brought along chocolates and most importantly he brought along my new precious...
My whites...
Familiar? Now that I've got a new phone I'll be posting with more pictures so that you guys out there don't fall asleep halfway through. Talking about those of you out there, I'm missing the rest my BFF's that I haven't seen for a long time. I've a confession to make. I'm lousy and just couldn't be bothered when it comes to using MSN partly due to the sucky connection and mostly my inability to chat for a long time to a box. So for those of you who are overseas, you guys know who you are, just want you to know that you guys are always on my thoughts. Okay, maybe not when I'm horny :P It's getting late right now, or should I say early? Guess it's time to end this random post. Say this time we end it with a happy news, shall we? *Drums rolling* Here goes... I manage to obtain straight A's for this semester! Hmm... wondering what I should ask for Christmas...
Definitely not or I wouldn't be back with a new post. However, I might as well be. Why so? First of all I've had my most stressful semester so far, which explains my long absence, but I'm glad I made it through albeit lots of last minutes with a total of 8 individual assignments and 8 group assignments. Then when I thought the worst is over, I got threatened with the fact that I might be sleeping at the streets if I can't find myself a decent place to stay by the end of the year, which explains why I'm still stuck here in my hostel instead of being back with my family and friends. I guess we won't be neighbours, Ivan, as much as I want to because the house just wasn't meant to be mine. On top of all that, given the fact that the fate of 8 people including me is in my hands(a little dramatic but true :P ) just doesn't make things any more easier. I need to find a place ASAP! Oh, did I mention I lost my mobile? Thanks to Kel for solving my woes on that matter. All that and my partial greediness has also led to WEIGHT GAIN! Arghhhh... Pardon my negativity but before I could relax I need to settle everything. Damn, I need a fitness instructor. Oh, forget fitness instructor, I need a life coach. Sigh... To end this pathetic post, I'm going to let you in on my current thought; 9 subjects next semester! One word, dead...
PS: HAPPY 21st Al. Sorry that I couldn't put you in a happier post lol...
Finally, after a long hiatus I'm back with a new post. So happy now YM? Life has been a cycle of work and fatigue this couple of months. When I do get the free time, I'd rather spend it with my friends. So there, the reason for my absence. To be honest, I wouldn't have bothered to start blogging again until my mid term break if it wasn't for another of my friends departure towards a new life in Newcastle. Feeling honoured? Another blog dedicated to you, lucky sl*t. I'm stuck here with tons of assignments while you are there feasting your eyes on an all you can eat buffet. Sigh, I guess the grass is always greener at the other side of the fence. So, as a customary ritual I shall recap about what we have done in the past as if I was giving a speech at a funeral. Touch wood.
Lately I've been plague by memories from our bygone eras, yes we are slowly entering the OHP (old hag phase), so it's inevitable that I'll blog about that. Okay fine, I'll spare you the boredom of reading repeated tales so I think I'm going to scrap that idea. Fast forward to recent times, when "childhood" dreams of us going to the same university and staying at the same house seems more and more far-fetched. Each of us growing up with different point of views and interest, career wise, yet the homogeneous factors that we all share as a person never fail to bind our friendships. I miss the old times when life was mellow, who doesn't, but at the same time I'm psyched about what the future has install for us. Ah, the oodles of possibilities... career, power or maybe love? As for now, I shall temporarily mourn for I have one less person I can rely on physically, rain or shine. Those memories we all had together I shall leave for you to interpret. May it keep you warm during the cold winter days, just in case you fail to get your new crush under your blankets by Christmas. Lastly, for all that we've been through together, I can safely say that it has been a privilege to have known you as a friend, a confidant and a horny b*tch. I hereby declare us all BFF, best family forever. Yours truly...
PS: Do FedEx me one of those delicious items at the buffet counter will ya?
Yesterday was filled with happiness and also sadness, a mixed of joy and sorrow, events that are of contrast in terms of feelings. First of all, I woke up to a flu and as if that wasn't enough, I missed my bus by a few seconds. Then when I do get on the bus, there was a traffic jam. I reached school about an hour late thinking whether I should enter class or not and that's when I saw three of my friends sitting at the guard house, one of them crying. Apparently, she was robbed or rather another victim of snatch theft. I felt so bad for her. Sometimes I just don't understand why those brainless people can't earn themselves an honest living. Oh, I forgot, they are brainless. Anyway, we decided to accompany her to lodge a police report and that's when we saw the down side of our country's authority figure. Upon reaching the police station, the first thing we notice was the leaking roof. What's it with government buildings that seems to face endless cases of leaking roof? Sigh... Anyways, it was quite a relieve when we saw that they were actually using computer generated reports instead of the hand written ones. That was until their computer "froze" in the middle of the report. So we ended up making a 30 minutes report with tons of grammatical mistake. Worst still, one of them don't seem to even understand a word of English and when we told her that she forgot to state that there was a witness to the event in the report, she hesitated and chose to ignore it saying that it's okay. Speechless! How can she choose to omit the most important part of the incident? Let me just quote a fraction of her masterpiece "penjahat mendangtankan kepada mangsa dan tolak dia jatuh tanah lalu ambil bag dia". After having to endure a traumatic experience reading her "karangan", she asked us if there was anything wrong? I was wondering if that was a trick question.
The policeman that took our report before being taken over by a lady officer...
So, when everything had been said and done, you would have thought that the victim can now go back and have a good rest but instead she has to make another appointment in another police station just to tell the sergeant the same old story once again. Hello... haven't you guys heard of an invention called PHONE?
The sergeant using a phone! So they do know what is a phone...
At last we were back to college after dropping my friend back to her place. Pity that she has to go though this ordeal but lucky she she was unharmed. Nowadays, snatch thieves doubles up as murderers so better let it be your belongings than your life when it comes to being robbed. At least the day was not entirely a bad day as it was also a special day. I have two friends that are July 18th babies and they are none other than Alan and introducing Wan Kan...
Tadaa...
Ah... I'm melting...
Red eggs or melted birthday cake? I'll go for the eggs...
Prize giving ceremony. Lol...
Nice... but what's underneath it...
G-Strings!
21 SX
It was a small party but it was sure one of those that will leave an impact on your mind. I mean how could you forget that image lol... We were laughing our lungs out. Finally, the most important thing I have to say is, HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY ALAN!!! Indeed it was a day of bittersweet memories...
Today marks the end of the first week of my new semester. I've so far received 5 group assignments out of my 8 subjects and will be expecting a few more to come by on the second week. Last few days has been stressful but I think I'll manage to pull through. Well, the grouping problems are not as bad as it seems now that I'm beginning to get use to my working environment. I guess I've been lazing around too much during my holidays lol... Needed that kick to wake me up from my slumber. Looking on the bright side, this semester's assignments are a lot more interesting as it requires a lot of out door activities which happens to be what I love most.
Class ended earlier than as expected because my lecturer for Marketing took a day off and how nice of him for not informing us. We were practically waiting for 4 hours thinking that he was late because of his Friday prayers. Our bad. We should have known better, he wasn't that "holy" to begin with. Lucky for me, that 4 hours was not entirely wasted as I attended a meeting for a cocktail mixing competiton. Oh, did I mention I was one of the participant? Lol... Anyways, keeping my fingers crossed so that I won't make a fool out of myself during "The Day". With only five classes left, I'll be competing with experienced people from the industry. Thank god there will not be any flaring or I'll end up with broken glasses on my head. Initially, I intended to take up table setting but after reading the contract that requires me to bring my own tables and chair, I pass the idea. I mean, can you imagine me with tables and chairs in the LRT? Not to mention with my service uniform! Assuming if it happens, most likely the scenario would be me standing next to the door asking, coffee, tea or me? This offer only applies to "you know who".
Back to reality. Since I got back to my hostel early, I decided to have dinner with Aaron in SS2 but not before buying some Durians for dessert. The journey took us 50 minutes but it was worth it as I get to savor the dish that I was longing to order for so long. Spaghetti Meatballs! The best thing was, it only cost RM10 and you really get your money's worth. Share it with another person if you're not a big eater. I had an ice blended drink called Lily to accompany this dish.
Spaghetti with cheesy meatballs!
Lily; combibation of ice blended lychee, mango and some funky green stuff that replaced ribena. Served with chunks of watermelons and longans with nata de coco.
After meal, we decided to have a walk around the area before we head for the bus stop so that my stomach could digest all those junk I've swallowed. We were about to reach the bus stop when something related to this day happened, something unfortunated. Not to us but some other people so hold your drama. It was an accident involving 2 cars and a bike. I manage to caught a few shots but most of it turns out distorted when I view the pics the second time at my hostel. Creepy! Fortunately, on an unfortunate day, my skin grew a little thicker and I manage to capture bits of the after effect in short clips. At one point I was even shooed by someone.
The victim's bike...
The victim...
Help arrives...
The treatment...
Victim in agony...
Me getting shooed... that a$$h0l3!
Our bus came as soon as the victim was transferred into the ambulance. Reached home just in time for dessert as my dinner was halfway through my digestive system.
All hail the king...
I wasn't expecting much since it just cost me about RM10 for 2 durians but it turns out to be good. I guess today it's not a day like I've imagined, a series of unfortunate event, at least for me it wasn't...
Born and bred in Penang, my one and only home. Currently on a journey of self discovery to find a constant in life. Love my family, love my friends, but still looking for someone to love :P I'm a hopeless day dreamer (includes nightime) To know me better, follow me as I post up bits and pieces of my life in this blog... that is if I manage to update it -.-"
