Twentieth of January 2012

The date I found out I've finally got through my 3 years of University Life.

It marks the end of my journey as a student and off to the working world.

The Learning Process never stops however.

Because I have to prepare myself to learn to face more challenges ahead.

Challenges I'm suddenly ready to face as soon as I found out I passed all subjects.

It gave me the confidence that I can do this. Come what may.

Oh I know, I've so many things to learn.

Learn to cope with stress, pressure, be more optimistic and controlling my emotions.

To learn to not care too much because a good friend of mine once told me, don't bother thinking too much. What's the point right? :)

As much as I love University Life,

I know I must go on with the next chapter. ;)

Now I have to learn to let go of the past and embrace the future.

I won't expect you to be good to me so...

Accounting & Auditing world. Here I come!

Two Four

2012-01-06T10:12:00.000-08:00

And, finally, I'm 24 years old. Not embarassed at all. Come on, let's face reality. We all get old eventually. I should quit denying it despite the fact that I don't like it.

Ah yes, the age I should graduate from University.

The age I should learn to be more grown up.

~~The age I should stop playing the sims social~~ hah! Not a chance. LOL! :P Sorry, I still love that game too much to stop. Well, unless I'm too busy with my work then what choice have I got.

The age I should get my driving license T___T Gosh so embarassing! I should have gotten a driving license AGES ago!

The age I should learn to improve on my weaknesses.

The age I should learn not to expect too much in order to avoid disappointment (Yes, I'm such a coward :S )

The age I should learn to overcome stress and not let stress 'overcome' me.

And most importantly, the age I will leave my youth years behind me and prepare to work. T_T

Where will the future take me, I don't know. I'm as scared as hell but what can I do, I've got to face it one way or another. I'm not ready to be honest. But if I wait till the day I'm ready, I don't think that day will ever come. . So I better just face it when it's time to face it. I'm going to go for my very first interview on 16th of January. No matter what, I must be prepared for it. I don't want to end up totally clueless and stutter when I answer the questions. Please God, guide me through it. I put all my trust in You. Amen.

Out with the old, In with the New

2012-01-04T21:46:00.000-08:00

New blogskin everyone!

It's a little different from the usual blogskin. Usually I just grab a ready-made blogskin. Now I decide to try to make it look more, urm, original? Well, actually it's not that original since I took the wallpaper from deviantart. lol. I shall remember to credit that person later. :)

Thought the wallpaper looks a bit dull so I edited it with XiuXiu. Best photo editer ever! Although I have to face some limitations to it since it's in Chinese, lol. I wish they would create an English version. Perhaps someday huh?

Tell me what you think about my blogskin. Does it look alright? Do you find it hard reading some of the things especially the About Me section and etc? If you do, let me know then I'll make the necessary changes. :)

Farewell 1B

2012-01-04T08:49:00.000-08:00

Here's a post I wrote when we first moved in. Gosh, time flies. *Click here* Just so you know, we actually broke rule number 4, 5 and 6! LOL. Oh and I should warn you that this post is combined with camwhore pictures. lol. We were so innocent back then!

As we bid farewell to 1B, I realise that we also bid farewell to our Uni years.

2 and a half years in that apartment. How can we forget all those memories?

This is the place where we crammed for our final exam...

The picture on the bottom right, yes, that's my studying place. very messy i know.

Couldn't resist taking pictures of us (I'm excluded since I'm the camera lady. lol.) cramming for our final exam.

This is the place where we...

*Do our make up
*Do our facial routine
*Helped our friends with their make up (remember that time we helped Dara's friends with their make up - well, I wasn't helping much. Just helped by checking the eye shadow colour. Applying the make up is all Steph and Chai Yung work.)
*Blow Dry our hair
*Curl our hair
*Do our random hairstyles when we're bored (Chai Yung!)

This is where Steph, Sally and I (teddy too) would share our crazy moments together, share our secrets, quarrel, argue, everything...

*sigh* I will miss this bed ;(

And finally.. This is the place where we...

*Prepared so many yummy food
*Made KimChi for the FIRST TIME!
*My friends prepared meals for me cos they knew my health wasn't doing so well ^^ You all are so awesome *heart*
*Cooked Porridge for anyone who isn't feeling well
*Spent so much time cleaning the kitchen too (EW!)
*Left so many expired canned food in the cupboard and end up we have to throw them (students, sigh, they never learn do they? tsk tsk.. :P)

Oh we had so many, many, many memories.. We celebrated teddy's Birthday, Pamela's Birthday, rehearsed for Capstone 1 presentation (Steph and I) and SO much more!

Well, 1B of Kenyalang Court, I had lots of memories together with you. It's time to leave and prepare to work. The thought of working scares me a lot. I wasn't scared at first but I am now. With the experience I had from University Life, I hope I'm prepared to work. Writing this post makes me sad again, somehow. =(

I've got to go now. Time for bed. Good night!

I won!

2011-12-29T09:15:00.000-08:00

I can't believe that I actually won a 10% discount voucher(yes, i know only 10%) from West Fashion Online! :D

So yea, that'll explains the previous post. I shall use it when I get my very first paycheck. :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH,
WEST FASHION ONLINE!

I wish I can be Forever 21...

2011-12-26T07:17:00.000-08:00

Have you ever heard of Forever 21?

Well, honestly, I heard about Forever 21 from my BFF and I know she ADORES all items from this brand. When she showed me a bag that she bought from Forever 21, I loved it too!

I'm from Sarawak and I'm really disappointed that there is no Forever 21 shop here. :( I remembered there was this time when my friends and I wanted to buy a Birthday gift for our BFF but we couldn't find the brand that she wants ( which is Forever 21, of course.)

Then I came across this site:

www.westfashion.net

Here, you can purchase any items that you want from Forever 21! :D

It's easier if you register with them though..

With the shopping cart tool, just click the item that you want from the website and then 'click' Add to Cart

Like this!

And then all your items will be shown on the top right hand corner..

I really like the way everything is grouped into categories like this. It's very organised isn't it? Easy browsing this way coz u don't have to keep clicking that 'next' button till u see something that u like..

Honestly I've never bought anything from this online store but I can tell 100% that I can trust this website. I know you're thinking, why do you trust this store so much? Wellll.....

I don't know about you but these two things from this website was convincing enough for me! :)

I don't want to say much cause I want YOU to find out about this website more. okay, you can stop reading my blog post now and head over to www.westfashion.net and start shopping!!

Farewell

2011-12-23T10:52:00.000-08:00

This post is specially dedicated to my loyal, obedient dog, Ah Bi

Dear Ah Bi,

I still remember how you became my pet. It was a few days or a few weeks after we moved to our new house. You were there among the grass. Always poking your cute head out from among the tall grass. I noticed you & I thought you were simply adorable!! From that day onwards, I always walk outside and give you food. Your favourite of all was chicken bones. You were talented in eating chicken bones. You ate carefully, chewed the insides of the bone first then later spit out the sharp edges. People say, don't feed bones to your dog. But you were a pro at eating bones! You also happen to be a survivor, you fell sick a couple of times and had a few near death experience yet you fought really hard to stay alive.

I remember how you like people to pet your head, How you Love people scratching behind your ear. :)

I remember the way you always come and wag your tail to greet us when we reach home. I love the way you do that. I was really sad you weren't there to do that today. I miss you already :(

I remember how you bit the Meter Reader cause you thought he was going to hurt your puppies. And dad had to send him to the clinic for a shot.

I remember those three puppies you first had! Oh gosh they were so cute!! And some of them looks like you. I remember how excited and happy I was. It was amazing. :)

I'm sorry we had to put you to sleep. You were suffering way too much. I guess we just can't bear to see you suffer much longer. It is time for you to go to a better place. I wish I'm there to send you off. But I know, I don't think I can handle it. I might even stop the doctor from putting you to sleep. When I heard what my dad said on the phone when I woke up this morning, I hoped that I was just having a nightmare. I even went back to sleep hoping it really was a nightmare. Unfortunately, it wasn't! :(

I want you to know that you've been amazing. For 13 years I've had you as my pet, I shall always, always remember how special you were to me. It is very surprising that I didn't cry yet. Perhaps part of me don't want to accept it or perhaps realization just hasn't sink in yet. Or Perhaps it is because I knew that you are no longer suffering. Whichever reason it is, I want you to know that no matter what, I will always love you.

Thank you Ah Bi for being my faithful, loving dog, I love you very much and you will be missed.

Exam Period

2011-12-05T09:08:00.000-08:00

I know I haven't been blogging in ages! I feel like this is the longest since I last updated my blog, sorry dear blog.

The last time I blogged was in September. Seems like I've lost the inspiration to write. The last "blog" I wrote was for my Industry Consulting Project a.k.a. Final Year Project. Don't get me started on how stressful it was.. Urgh!

Anyways, I'm about to sit for the final 2 papers of my University life. On the 13 and 14 of December to be exact. Therefore, I felt like this is something to blog about. Yea, wow rite? 3 years passed by just like that.

Also means I'm going to move out.
BFFs going to move out.
#damnemo

Honestly, I don't really have the mood to study. But have to force myself. I don't want my university life to end. But gotta move on with life huh? =(

On a completely unrelated note or maybe related la, I don't know.

Here's some pictures of us while we wait for our noodle at the INFAMOUS-NEED-TO-WAIT-ONE-HOUR-PLUS-PLACE.

You only get to see pictures like this on my blog cos I won't post them up on facebook.

pam

Steph

my bro - =_=" haih. asked him to show bored faced he smiled instead

Chaiyung - control 'ayu' lol

Finally, Teddy emo. cos I'm emo. pfft.

Okay, even though I really want to continue to blog, I've got to continue studying this:

yes, exactly how my Advanced Finance textbook looks like.

Haih, regrets taking finance as my minor now. I knew I would regret it when I select it as my minor. God knows why I still pick it. #imustbecrazy

I should blog more right? I just realised I was pretty active in blogging in 2009.

Right, well. ADVANCED FINANCE! bye now!

Friendship

2011-08-22T09:57:00.000-07:00

Hello blog.

I know I haven't been blogging lately. I just completed my winter semester. It has been, horribly, incredibly exhausting! My health has its ups and downs. Right now, I just hope everything will be fine. That's all I'm praying hard for. And for my results as well.

Anyways, there's a purpose why I'm writing. No. 1 cos I haven't been writing for since, wow, I can't even remember when I updated my blog. My gosh, has it been that long? o.o And No. 2, cos of friendship.

I have always valued friendship (and my family but that's another story. Now I shall talk about frienship first). I say things that I don't mean when I'm tired and because of this, it caused my friend to be hurt. (you know who you are and I'm sorry for it) She forgived me but I know she is still hurt. I know how sad and disappointed she is so I'm going to give her some time to cool down.

I never meant to do the things that I do. I appreciate my friends even though I never say it out loud. I appreciate the people around me even though I don't say it out. I just don't know how to express it. Perhaps growing up with a family where expressions of love and affection were rarely shown, has taught me to be "overly-defensive/highly egoistic" or "a cold person". I don't mean to say that my family don't show affections and etc, it's just that they show it in a different way, or indirectly that is.

It has left me with no idea how to show affections and gratitude. Which is why the way I show it, is through writing. I admit. I'm better at writing out my true feelings than saying them out. It takes a whole lot of courage for me to say how I feel.

To the friend (you know who you are and if you do read this post - to protect your privacy, I shall not name any names.) and all my other friends who reads this post, I want to make a public apology if I've said anything that hurt your feelings. Being human, I have my flaws and I hope I won't repeat the things that I did.

"It takes a friend to understand a friend." You may go, huh? what? Well, don't be like that. Because if you really get the meaning/this message of my phrase, that means you have a good/best friend around you.

I also want to emphasize that although I've hurt a lot of people around me, my actions are sincere. What I do, I do with my heart. I put effort and even if I'm tired, I would not trade another day for the things I do for both my friends and my family. =)

And finally, thank you. Thank you for being a great friend.

In a blink of an eye

2011-06-28T09:00:00.000-07:00

In a blink of an eye, time pasts faster than we know it, faster than we want it to.

In a blink of an eye, we are sucked into the adult world.

In a blink of an eye, we worry about our future, what will become of us, what will happen.

In a blink of an eye, we realised our parents are getting older and it's time for us to act and be more grown up than before.

In a blink of an eye, a lot of things happen around me and makes me wonder why it happens. Yet, it makes all the changes in me. It has in fact, made me stronger. I need to be stronger to take care of my parents, to take care of my brother.

In a blink of an eye, I would graduate soon and see what awaits in the days/months/years ahead.

In a blink of an eye, I would see the world differently than how I see it before I graduate.

In a blink of an eye, I find myself growing up and wishing it would stop because adulthood is so much more harder than I've ever imagine. I have not even finish my University Life yet I felt that I should be an adult now. And yes, albeit the fact that I AM an adult already since I've in University now.

In a blink of an eye, I would be making serious, drastic, life changing decisions.

Am I ready for these? Honestly the thoughts scares me. Every piece of my bone, every piece of my organs - I'm scared. Every single part of me.

The responsibility as a elder sister to my brother, the responsibility as a sister, the responsibility as a daughter, a responsibility as a friend and if there's a possibility, the responsibility as a girlfriend/wife - Am I ready for all these?

Am
I
ready?

Sally's Treat & Birthday

2011-06-22T06:19:00.000-07:00

Pictures Courtesy of Pam! Without her, this would be a pictureless blog post.

Sally brought us Damai Puri Resort

Honestly if words can explain how awesome these few days was, I wish there is a word to express it but there isn't. All I can say is the I LOVE my friends so much and I DON'T WANT my university life to end =(

Thank you so so so so so much to Sally for bringing us here. These fond memories shall remain with me forever.

It's a bit sad though, I'm happy to be there and sad because in just few months we will go our own ways, yes, as sad as it sounds, it's reality. I don't want to face reality but it is how it is. T_T Ugh why am I so emo?! T____________T

Sorry for the delay for this post. I've been away in Kuching so couldn't update.

Oh dear, I think the hang out I had with my friends has made me quite emo. I have to stop writing now. It's late and I is very the emo now. Byes!

2011-06-21T08:39:00.000-07:00

Goodbyes are never easy

2011-06-14T20:19:00.000-07:00

As we bid farewell to one of our housemate, friend and "sister", it made me realise how much time left we will have in our University.

In less than 6 months, we will go our own ways. We don't know what the future holds. It makes me so sad though I don't show it much. I really (times infinity) hope that we will still keep in contact with each other. That we will always find time for each other. It's a bit early to say this but I just want to say it anyways. haha..

Dear Chai Yung,

I hope you will get a job here in Kuching. I pray hard that you will get a job in Ernst and Young. You've been a wonderful helpful, cute, great listener and sweet friend. I'm so glad to have met you and I really hope to see you again.

Those pics you upload in facebook make me emo! T_T boo!!

I want to write more but I am so emo now I cannot write.. lol. sounds like I'm exaggerating but really, I'm not. =/

ok, to be continued...

I wait for Pam's picture then I update more.

Until then, toodles!

********UPDATED********

Just a few random pics. Some things we do before Chai Yung return to Sibu.

We went to damai. Pics are quite limited because they are all from my handphone. :P

Was bored waiting for them kayaking. lol.

It was so HOT! so hide under umbrella while waiting for them. :P
It's a rule for me. Camwhore only when I'm bored. and thus this pic.

And dinner at Kampung Buntal. Best seafood and cheap too! :D

Played the "basketball game" at Hock Lee. (No pictures for this cos we were too busy playing. lol)

Put your hands up and wave it like u just don't care!

2011-06-07T17:39:00.000-07:00

I am finally freeeeee from exams! :D

Breathe in the 'feeling' of freedom

Sorry to all to all those who are still having your exams, I really need to write this post! I wish you all the best and don't lose your motivation to study. If there's some time left to study, just make full use of your time.

It has been, by far, the most hectic weeks of my University Life. Accounting Theory is all about reading, reading and more reading. If you're going to take Accounting Theory next semester, please take my advice to study from the begining of the semester to avoid rushing and stressing out at the end of the semester.

My lovely companion during exam period. :)
Sorry though, I shall not be needing you till winter semester.

I've never work so hard for any of my exams ever! Barely had enough sleep. Was so scared I'm going to fail T___T I even stayed up till 6am ok! (Effect of Ginseng Coffee) That was how scared I was.

Overall, I'm quite pleased with 2 of my final papers but not so pleased for my first paper. I believe that I will pass all my subjects this semester. I must put all my faith and trust in God. Amen :)

I have a whole lot of things to do. So far the start of freedom began with a nice, good long four hours of sleep. lol. And then Monopoly at night! :D

All thanks to Steph. It's quite a nice game but I get bored with it easily. :S It's just me. Seriously not quite a business student at all. boo!

Ok back to Uni Talk. I can't believe that I'm reaching the end of my 3 years of study. Some of my friends are going to graduate soon. To all those who are in your final semester, I know I'll miss all of you and I know it's a bit fast for me to say this since some of you haven't even sit for any of my finals paper yet! Iol. Chai Yung, I'll miss our laughing and crying, me and you emo-ing together and I really hope you'll get a job here in Kuching. :( I suddenly realise how time flies when you're going to graduate.

All of a sudden, I don't want my University Life to end!! I used to say I can't wait to graduate but seriously, now I wish I have more time. From now on, I should cherish every single, happy and sufferings altogether moments of my University Life. Oh gosh I feel so sadddddddd!! Just one and half more semester more to go! (Including Winter Semester)

I guess this post is a mixture of sadness and happy-ness.

Okay I'm don't know what else to blog about. So I'm off to do the things I've been refraining myself to do - watch WongFu Productions videos! And Mall World! hahaha Maureen, wait for me yea.. So many new stuff already.Tatas for now! =)

For What It's Worth

2011-04-16T06:29:00.000-07:00

Today I went to Lions Nursing Home. Organized by CPA Club.

The experience I had there is beyond words. I visited another Old Folks Home before called Home of Peace. But the experience I had there was really different compared to what I experienced at the Lions Home.

The first thing I did was the usual thing that Volunteers do. Cleaning up and etc. This needs no further explanation.

The thing that had a huge impact on me the most is the feeding the Grandma moments and pushing the wheelchair moments. I've been having flashbacks on what I did today. This will be my very honest feelings so please excuse me if you find anything I say offensive or heartless. I also must remind you that I am no angel.

When I fed the Grandma today, which is kolok mee by the way, I remembered thinking "oh dear, so hard to cut this noodle. And why not I get to feed rice or something?" And then I got annoyed and incredibly angry with myself.

My good side went "What on earth are you thinking?! How can you be so utterly heartless, Amanda?! Have you no feelings? Do you have any idea what it's like to be in the Grandma's shoes? To be so helpless and frustrated because you want to do things yourself but can't cos you have to depend on others. "

I am a selfish person. No doubt about that. It's a good thing I have my conscience to remind myself why am I doing this. It's for Charity and to show them our love.

I also remember getting super frustrated because I can't understand what the Grandma is talking about. I end up answering yes to everything the Grandma says. Gosh! T_____T What if I said yes to something negative she said about herself? :( HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUPID?!

I'm supposed to feel good after doing this Charity work but for some reasons, I feel guilty. My selfish side is damn shameful and 100% incredibly spiteful! Being human is stupid sometimes. Seriously!

I saw the others going outside since the other grandmas don't need help feeding them. After I finished feeding the first grandma, I tried talking to her. I offered to bring her more water since she finished hers quite fast. I couldn't leave the Grandma No.1 so I stayed back and tried to talk to her again despite the fact that I barely understand what is she saying. :(

The second grandma, I didn't finish feeding her because the bus came and I have to go home. I remembered seeing one of my friends who haven't finish feeding one of the Grandma and continued on feeding her. She didn't mind staying back to feed her and follow other CPA member back. I salute her. I really do. I didn't do that. I walked away instead. And that is one of the shameful things that I did. I wished now that I continued on feeding her but of course, it's too late. I walked away because I really needed to go to the toilet badly and there, as you can see, once again, the selfish me. It's a downright embarassing and deceitful act.

It's all in the past now. What has happened today. What I did today. I wish I could turn back time. To change all things that needs to be changed. To help the grandmas and grandpas as much as I can.

There is one thing that I really enjoyed doing though. The singing and trying to cheer up the grandmas and grandpas. I was really happy to see that one of the grandma smiling widely at us as we sing. :D

Oh yea, one of the grandma is a Roman Catholic and she started singing one of our church songs and halfway through her singing, she started crying. It was depressing yet truly saddening to see her in that way. And she mentioned something about dying. I had no idea how to react. I was speechless. I remembered hating her children though. But perhaps I shouldn't really blame them. I need not be so judgemental.

Nevertheless, despite all of this, I think this was a very meaningful experience for me. From now on, I'm going to learn to be more selfless, to be more considerate of others. I hope I get another chance to go to the Nursing Home again. I want to do things correctly next time. I will even dance for them to cheer them up. I don't care how stupid I will look.

For what it's worth, I sincerely hope that I will be given the chance again to be able to give the Grandma and Grandpas all the love and care in this world.

Final Year

2011-04-01T21:48:00.001-07:00

Ok obviously I quit the 30 days challenge. lol. I'm way to busy to blog about that.

I have no actual things to blog about. I want to complain about my workload but then that'll bore you cos Uni Life is rather routine like. Everything is the same. Tutorials, Assignments and more work. :(

Well it's already the mid-term break so I finally have "some" time to blog. Actually I should start working on my assignments but sigh. yeah. I wanna rest first. It has been a loooonnng week! T__T My exams was SUPER tough. I just wish that just once I will say that my exam is okay. Just once. Cos I realised I never said it's easy.

So as most of you know I have a subject this semester that requires me to blog. When my friends told me we are to blog I thought "oh really?! Awesome!!" That's what I thought to myself. I wasn't very worried cos I love to write and I have a blog and all that. But I was so wrong! I can sit in front of the laptop for hours and have no ideas how to start. :( I will have ideas flowing through my head but no idea how to start. For some reasons, the introduction is crucial cos it attracts readers to read. So yea, that's why I spent hours thinking how to start.

I can't seem to write any "intellectual" kind of posts. I think whether this is because throughout my school years, for my English essays, I will always write stories and not the kind that requires points. You know, the kind of essays that goes:

The school has been facing problem with students who "play truant". Explain the reasons caused by this and how the school can solve this issue.

I always have trouble selecting this kind of question because I will have no ideas and I will always opt for the one that requires me to write a story. If I did attempt such question, I would get lower grades that I will get for writing stories. :/ So most of the time I pray hard that my teacher will give a question that requires us to write stories. :P

There's also one thing that my school teachers used to ask us to do when in Secondary School. And that is summarise. I'm VERY BAD at summarising. lol. I like to write things in detail. No idea why but I do. I'm still learning how to NOT write a whole lot of junk in my work. I think it's also useful for paraphrasing when I come to Uni. The whole no plagiarism rule so yea, that's important.

Ok why am I writing about this. Perhaps it's the aftermath of writing my blog entry. I think I won't get a good grade this time. I don't even know if I fulfilled the requirements of the blog entry.

My blog post shall end abruptly cos I don't know how to end it. lol.

2011-03-29T22:57:00.000-07:00

Ok obviously I quit the 30 days challenge. lol. I'm way to busy to blog about that.

I have no actual things to blog about. I want to complain about my workload but then that'll bore you cos Uni Life is rather routine like. Everything is the same. Tutorials, Assignments and more work. :(

Well it's already the mid-term break so I finally have "some" time to blog. Actually I should start working on my assignments but sigh. yeah. I wanna rest first. It has been a loooonnng week! T__T My exams was SUPER tough. I just wish that just once I will say that my exam is okay. Just once. Cos I realised I never said it's easy.

So as most of you know I have a subject this semester that requires me to blog. When my friends told me we are to blog I thought "oh really?! Awesome!!" That's what I thought to myself. I wasn't very worried cos I love to write and I have a blog and all that. But I was so wrong! I can sit in front of the laptop for hours and have no ideas how to start. :( I will have ideas flowing through my head but no idea how to start. For some reasons, the introduction is crucial cos it attracts readers to read. So yea, that's why I spent hours thinking how to start.

Mes Sentiments

2011-02-10T10:04:00.000-08:00

Airplanes - B.O.B. feat Hayley Williams

This song fits what I'm feeling. A little bit frustrated, a little bit pissed but really actually, I really could use a wish right now. ;)

This has got to be one of my favourite songs ever. It's really hard to get bored with this song cos the beat is so catchy, the lyrics is so awesome and video clip is simple yet it says a lot.

~~Day 8~~

My so called dream wedding

2011-02-03T06:21:00.000-08:00

Hello Day 7!

Do you know what? I'm starting to feel that this challenge will show a side of me that I've never shown before. and I'm not so sure I'm quite comfortable with that. =/I'm so tempted to skip this ~~day~~ one! argh! like seriously tempted to, which is why i delay this post. But this is a CHALLENGE! So I have to try to get through this challenge.

Ok let's begin. :)

Things I need for my dream (note: DREAM) wedding:

1. The ideal man.

2. Lots and lots of $$$

I shall admit it. Although I mentioned several/many times that there's no way I will get married, I do want to. ( you see! this is why I don't like this post. I have to be so honest and tell you my secret. Well, obviously not a secret now. :S ) but mind you, this will only happen if i find the right guy.

Honestly, I'm not very optimistic about marriage. I can only think of all sort of negative side of marriage, sigh. I don't know. Blame it only the society now, blame it on the guys who I always find hard to trust, or just blame myself for being so pessimistic about marriage. I think partly because I will think like this - guys change after marriage. They think they own you and you have to bow down to them. (note: I don't mean all guys ok? Just some of them.) Sigh. Seriously I think marriage is about mutual respect and trust. And then there's this ego thingy. yeap.

That said, I shall write this dream wedding of mine. :)

For me, the most important thing is to get married in a church.

And then the guests. All my family, friends and close relatives must come to my wedding. And I hope they will be happy on this day.

Also I hope to have my wedding dinner next to the beach. :) aww... what?? romantic and i'm sure it'll be quite memorable. *_* I also want my wedding to be fun for everyone. :D Are you all a fan of Glee? You should watch one episode where the song at the background is "Marry You". And especially LOVE the dancing part. *hint hint* Thus, I want my besties and sister to dance on my wedding day, wahahahahhaha! I'm evil but I'm sure you will feel it's fun :P

Hmm what next? My wedding dress? you know I'm thinking since I'm petite, I wonder what kind of dress will suit me. T___T Long dress is a no-no cos I will look so stubby and ugly. I wonder if anyone has ever got married in short dress before? hmm.. Food for thought, people? ;) So far all the weddings I've been to, the bride always wear long dress.

Not exactly the wedding dress I have in mind but it'll do at the moment. ;)

Ok that's all i'm going to write about my dream wedding hahahahhaa.. These points are important so the rest of it for... my wedding planner to plan. lol cos i'm not really a good planner. tee hee.

P.S: New blogskin! :)

Day 6

2011-01-30T08:10:00.000-08:00

I have all the pets I want already :)

I have a cat and five dogs. And I even rear fishes! lol. What other pets would I want?

Okay this tag obviously is the easiest one. =P

What I want to do before I die

2011-01-29T01:07:00.000-08:00

Okay, this is seriously a tough one.

I've already delayed this post for two days cos I've been busy shopping for CNY clothes and I kind of forgot about this tag thingy. hahahaha..

But I've made my decision.

I want to own a shop that looks like this and to sort of have room that's filled with all books that I love to read. :D

~~Day 5~~

For those who don't know what this post is about, click here for the original post :)

A picture paints...

2011-01-26T09:17:00.000-08:00

... friendship that lasts forever!

So here's my favourite pic of us besties!

Sorry if it's quite blurry.

Unfortunately i only have the hardcopy of the picture. :( The only softcopy of this picture is in friendster and all the pictures that I've uploaded there has gone into thin air T____T sad. Maybe I do keep a softcopy of it somewhere but I can't find it now, sigh. anyways I guess this is better than nothing.

Here's an edited picture since the picture above is quite dark. hehe..

It's rare we all are together like this so this picture is really special to me! *_* enough said! =D

lol we look so cute last time huh? Now we are all grown up. heh! :')) How time has change...

I love them all so, so much! :D Best Friends Forever!

~~DAY 4~~

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

Guess what, I'm going to test my law again because.... it has expired. T___T yes, isn't that just great. Which means I'm going to have to study for it again and sit for that computer test again. -sigh-

The first Dream Date

2011-01-25T06:58:00.000-08:00

Well, this is quite a tough one. Because I'm shy like that :*) ahhahahaha. Okay so let's get on with it. I've got to warn you though, I'm quite a hopeless romantic so yea, be prepared! :)

It would start off with him asking me for a date of course. On his knees! Or better yet, write me a letter to propose that first date!

okay, okay I'm just kidding. :P Just a simple call would do. :)

And then he must arrive with a bunch of flowers in his hands. Aww... =)

And off we go..

He will bring me to a place which has a nice romantic ambience and NO smokers, please, thank you! And this is where I'll decide if he's a right guy/good guy. Conversation is very important. :)

Next we'll go for a walk in the park. (Note: Must make sure it's safe first. wth, why am i so paranoid). We'll walk hand in hand and then sit on the bench and admire the moon and the stars while we chat happily. (To be sure this happens the guy must make sure that night when we are going to go on that first date, he must be sure it's not a cloudy night. =P)

And then we will go watch a romantic comedy cos it's something I like and since it's something funny perhaps my dream date will like it too? lol.

Later on, he will say he have a suprise for me. :D And he'll take me to a place with awesome scenery and he'll present me with something he think I will like. This is important cos I want to know how much he knows me. (actually it is because I don't know what I want in particular so yea. XD). And then he will serenade me *_* Hey, singing must be good too okie? :P

Finally when we comes to the end of the date, he'll say good night and no, no kiss. :) I don't want that, thank you. And before he goes back, he'll pop a little letter (guess what kind of letter, lol) into my hand and I'll ask him to contact me when he gets back and when he's back he'll call me and we'll chat till late at night.

The End.

There you have it, my dream date. teehee!

P.S: I'm not very creative I'm afraid. so all these are rather the cliche kind of first date but oh well.

~~Day 3~~

Must Watch Movies

2011-01-24T07:23:00.000-08:00

I can't decide which movie I like best! T____T

These two movies - Just Like Heaven and The Holiday are equally great movies. Both have a different storyline. :)

Let me start with Just Like Heaven

This movie I watched quite a long time ago so I can't really remember the story. I think it has to do with the guy falling in love with the girl who's a ghost and so on. lol. I just know I loved it to bits and I think you have to watch it to believe how good exactly it is. :) So yea.. (I'm quite lazy to blog now and also lazy to refresh my memory. :P ) Oh and also cos these two are my top favourite actor and actress =P

Next will be The Holiday. Super sweet, super nice movie! :D

My favourite part of the movie is when Iris (Kate Winslet) fall in love with the Miles (Jack Black) who isn't exactly the perfect dream guy but it's his super charming personality that counts. Oh and he's a Soundtrack creater in the movie. Psst! do you believe me when I tell you I actually have a dream of creating soundtrack for movies after I watch this movie?! lol. I guess this one will remain a dream since I have no talent in music and the only talent I have is listening to music, pfft. Another reason I love this movie is because of it's Soundtrack. :)

Oh and Cameron Diaz and Jude Law are absolutely one of the most talented actress and actor. They both really have the chemistry :)

Okay I'm seriously too lazy to blog now so off I go! lol.

I'm done with Day 2. Now I should start thinking how to write the next one. :)

Day 1: My Favourite Song

2011-01-23T06:28:00.000-08:00

This is really hard for me because I can't decide which song is my all-time favourite!

First I thought of Fireflies by Owl City but then I realised I like the tune and the lyrics but I don't know what I can write about that.

Then I thought of Airplanes because I really love this song. The song is so catchy that I'm not even very bored of it yet.

And finally I decided on a song that has more meaning for me. And it's non other than:

Today My Life Begins by Bruno Mars

i've been working hard so long
seems like pain has been my only friend
my fragile heart's been done so wrong
i wondered if i'd ever heal again

ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
all around me i can feel a change (ohh)

i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the takin
i know i can make it, today my life begins

yesterday has come and gone
and i've learnt how to leave it where it is
and i see that i was wrong
for ever doubting i could win

ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
all around me i can feel a change (ohh)

i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me

leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the takin
i know i can make it, today my life begins

life's too short to have regrets
so i'm learning now to leave it in the past and try to forget
only have one life to live
so you better make the best of it

i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the takin
i know i can make it, today my life begins

i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the takin
i know i can make it, today my life begins
today my life begins...

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/today-my-life-begins-lyrics-bruno-mars.html ]

With such inspirational quotes in the lyrics, what's not to like?

If you follow my blog long enough, you'll notice that I have a big problem with letting go of the past. Of wondering what will happen in my life if I make different decisions i.e. picking a different course to study.

This song teaches me that I should let go of what has already happened and not think about it. Instead, I should work hard for what is yet to come. Enough with the sense of regret. Cos I know that is the thing that cause me a lot of problem. I keep thinking of wanting to change the past and all that. The more I think about it, the more frustrated I become. So why bother right?

Hence this song has made quite an impact to me that I decide to make it my favourite song, even though I'm a tad bit bored with the music already. =P Nevertheless, awesome lyrics yea? =D

And I'm done with Day 1. lol. Yays!

2011-01-21T05:57:00.000-08:00

I can hardly believe my eyes when I saw that I passed all my modules for last semester!

Here's my reaction:

Eyes scanning results. *preparing self for the dreadful N*

And realises all pass. I passed all? *Blinks* *Blinks*

OH WOW! I passed all!!!!!!!!!! LOL.

*Starts thanking God repeatedly in my heart*

I had a mixture all feelings when I read my results.

I'm really sad that the subject that I aim for Distinction, I just get a Pass and moreover, it's just one more point to Credit FML. T_T (FYI, the F is doesnt stand for the you know what word. lol. I don't like the word. So it stands for urm, freak. okay that's lame but whatever, you get what i mean. )

Then I'm also grateful because I really seriously thought I'm going to fail that subject. Haih.

Then, I become sad again cos I wish and I know I would've done better if I work much harder. Argh! Every semester I feel like this! I'm really tired of it.

Therefore, for this coming semester, I promise myself that I will work 10times harder! I'm serious.

Don't give me that look of disbelief. -__- ok fine. T___T That's quite hard for me. But this time I'm determined! With a little bit of determination, I KNOW i can do it! I know all of you out there can do too! (For those who don't reach their target). So don't give up.

Let's work harder! :D

Be Inspired!

2011-01-19T08:28:00.000-08:00

'Cos I know I was inspired when I watch this video. ;)

Okay honestly, I will admit that I didn't like her at first maybe because she have that 'i-like-to-act-cute' aura which somehow I don't really like, but i grew to like her in time because of her personality!

Anyways, I hope I can be like her. She's another youtube persona that I found one day and then today I saw this super inspirational video and yea, I know I must share it with you all so here it is. =D

Whether 2010 was good for you or not, we now have 2011 in front of us. Leave all of the bad baggage behind. If you haven't already; its time to live for the future and not the past.-Lindi Tsang-

Very often in life we are driven by many different factors that delays/prevents us from being happy. One common factor that can drive us is 'Resentment'.-Lindi Tsang-

Happy New Year two-oh-one-one!

2011-01-03T07:00:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year!

2010 has been quite rough on me. But it has some good times too!

Bad is that I failed my FIS for the second time. Good is that I did 10xxx much better! :D Thank you Mother Mary & God! :D

Another good thing is that I visited the UK, visited my Aunty & family, sis graduated, went to Paris and London. woots! :D

Paris

The Eiffel Tower - Obviously my fav. place cos I have super many pics of the tower.

Also it's quite hard to get the perfect shot of the Eiffel Tower -_-"

Notre Dame and it's awesomeness

Laziness makes me combine everything together *random*

Musée du Louvre where the Mona Lisa painting was kept :)

Lil Birdie on Statue's head lol.

I shall learn how to play with xiu-xiu more. lol! I get nicer pictures. :)

Okay this is supposed to be a new year post but I blogged about Paris instead! oopsy!

I hope 2011 would be a much better year. I shall try to be more optimistic. That shall be my one and only new year's resolution. Being positive affects EVERYTHING that I do so just this one thing would be enough for me :)

Best of the Best :D

2010-12-22T21:49:00.000-08:00

You know you have the bestest friends when:

They still made an effort to prepare a Birthday Surprise for you even though they are super busy.

They know what you like and what you want!

They take care of you when you need them the most.

They listen to all your ramblings and complains during the exam period.

They comfort you when you're sad, angry and depressed. :)

I have the bestest friends one could ever ask for! :D

I still feel that I should apologize again for not looking that excited. *sigh* I'm so so sorry you all!

Please know that I truly appreciate every gesture even though I don't express it. I love the pressie to the max! I almost purchased one for myself. lol.

Urgh! I really hate it when I'm tired. I can't even express how happy I am. T___T So sorry to all of you...

I feel so blessed and truly grateful that I have great friends like all of you!! That's what makes everything so special! =)

Thus, I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to every one of you once again!

I REALLY LOVE YOU ALL SO SO MUCH! :') Muahks!

I was kinda disappointed cos we didn't get to take solo pics with every one of you. :/
We were rushing to watch Narnia 3! lol..

Okay as usual, must camwhore with the Birthday Gift : P hehe!

uh, don't know why my hair looks weird in this pic. :S Don't care la. The important thing here is the necklace :P

:D

Okay, Now I can end this post ;)

*All B-day pics ripped off from Pamela's facebook pics XD Thank you for your pics, pam!

Home!

2010-12-21T02:33:00.000-08:00

I'm home! :D

I think i've lost the writing mojo. I rarely update my blog nowadays. *sigh* I don't know why. I hope it comes back cos I know I love writing ~~(and complaining)~~ lol.

Anyways, coming soon will be an update of my b-day surprise. I was super super tired that day! I think I disappoint my friends cos I look like I'm in no mood :( I feel super guilty bout this. :(

Honestly, from the bottom my heart, I appreciate what you guys did for me! The early-bday surprise was really nice girls!! :D I really LOVE you all so much. And I LOVE the present! I love having able to celebrate will all of you since I've never celebrated with you all. :) it was indeed a really sweet surprise. I know I didn't express it that day, but my exhausted-ness took over my feelings. really so soo soooo sorry to you all!! T_______________T

I'll post a nice post on this later on. Must fully concentrate on writing this post. hehe!

tatas for now!

Quick Update

2010-12-10T19:00:00.000-08:00

One more paper to sit for. Super scared cos it's super tough! T_T

Things always happens unexpectedly. The paper that I'm least worried about happens to be the paper that I'm most worried about now. :(

I'm extremely sad cos no. 1. I didn't study that hard for that test cos I didn't have enough time. (three days in a row!) 2. I sat so near the exit that everytime people went in and out of the exam hall(to go to the toilet and god knows what else they're doing), it's BLOODY distracting ok! 3. The examiner is super stupid, brainless and etc cos know that people sitting for exam still talk talk there and laugh WTH! utter stupidity! 4. The paper is SUPER hard. 5. I realised that I made a whole lot of stupid mistakes cos lack of concentration. 6. It's supposed to be my easiest paper but it's the worst one so far. 7. These may all seems like excuses but trust me, these are very valid excuses.

Ok *breath in breath out* Let all of this pass. T_T God I hope I pass, I pray that I pass! Please please please let me pass! I know I asked for Distinction but now, I just hope for a pass.

End. Time to study. haih last paper just have to have to fall on the last day of the exams, 17th Dec. Nevermind, I shall be grateful for the extra time that I have.

I'm actually very sleepy so that's why I can't be bothered to think of a blog title, thus the lame and obvious name of this post.

The worst thing about Insomnia is that it affects your studies and just imagine how ironic it is since your studies itself is the one that causes Insomnia. :(

When I have worries, I can't sleep.

I'm worried I can't pass Corporate Accounting. I don't want to experience the bad experience that I had with Financial Information System. No more repeating and failing.

I will pass
I will pass!
I can do this!
I shall NOT fail!
I shall NOT think negative!
I must not let my own stupid, senseless negative thoughts bring me down!
NO MORE FAILING!
NO MATTER HOW HARD IS THIS STUPID COURSE (I'M CURSING NOW COS I'M SO FED UP), I WILL GET THROUGH IT!!

I'm just really tired of failing and I feel so stressed out and depressed whenever I think of it :(((

haih, better go try and go to sleep now. It's 2.30am and I've got to wake up at 7am. Nites.

London, Paris, NY ( no la, no NY)

2010-10-08T00:34:00.000-07:00

Oh wow! I think I broke my own record of not blogging in a loooonnnng time!

Anyways as I promised a month +++ ago, I will blog about my London and Paris trip. I don't know how am I going to start because it's been too long since The Holiday Trip that I've forgotten some interesting things about the trip. So here goes:

London

I think I only went to about 4 of these places.

Okay I really don't know how to blog about London. I'll be random then ok? Okay! =) (just an excuse cos I've forgotten most of the things that I did in London T_T)

The famous Trafalgar Square.
Hmm actually quite a horrendous picture. what with the dark sky and everything. lol. But nevermind, it'll do! :)

With one of the Lions at Trafalgar Square

In front of Westminster Abbey

And all things London-ey!

You know, you know.. ;)

London Tower!

Hello Mr. Policeman & Big Ben.

Big Ben at night. I have to lean far out of the taxi to take this picture. T_T

BUCKINGHAM PALACE! :D
So many people because people are waiting for the changing of the guards performance/session.

Gorgeous statues

Awwww!

Say: awww again! :P

*ok la to be continued cos I'm too lazy to blog already*

Travel Part 1

2010-08-16T23:40:00.000-07:00

Lourdes

I will try to keep it simple. There's too much to write and I don't want to say it all cos if I do then there's nothing much left to discover for yourself, huh? =) I should tell you that I re-installed Xiu Xiu just for the sake of making this post easier to blog about and also so the picture would look prettier and different from the one in my Facebook. lol! I'm going to uninstall it once I'm done blogging about the trip cos one thing about Xiu Xiu is that it has virus and worms that comes with the whole file. =/ I can't find the ones without viruses.

Hungry so we ate in one shop on the way to the Sanctuary.

Food! Urm sorry about the background. I wanted to change it back to the one I wanted but I don't have the skill to do that T___T I don't know how to read Chinese some more. Putting all these pics in one saves time cos I don't have to upload one by one. Hehe!

Asking Diana: are you taking candid pictures again?
The view from the hotel

On the way to the Sanctuary there are all sorts of scenery like these. :)

The camera start to malfunction just as we approach the Sanctuary T_T, thus the blur pic.

Views

Three shades!

:))))

A must not miss place to visit here is the Grotto. This is where St. Bernadette saw Mother Mary.

There are benches for everyone to sit and pray here.
This is also where I prayed really, really hard for my FIS. And these prayers came true. :)

Oh! OH! and I have a funny incident to tell. So the day before I went to pray here, I went to confession. The confessions are not much different from the confessions in my hometown. There were many rooms and on the door there are notices that shows what languages the priest can understand. Anyways, that has nothing to do with what I'm going to say next but I just want to explain how it is like to go to Confession in Lourdes. :)

I was wearing this shirt that says "It's about Me" and when the priest asked hey, what does it say on my shirt? It was a rather embarrassing moment for me, cos it's like I'm selfish or something T_T oh wow! But it was quite funny. I just laughed and read it out for him anyways and said, oh-oh I didn't buy this shirt, my friend bought it for me. And it's the truth!

:) Hello Mother Mary!

There was a mass later on in the evening.
Attended by millions of people! Even though this picture doesn't show much.

We also visited St. Bernadette's home. It was really simple and it looks like she had quite a tough life. I think you should read the story about her. It's really interesting and sad at the same time. You have to pay some amount to enter her house. I can't remember how many Euros though.

A painting of how the Grotto used to look like.

This is where St. Bernadette sleeps. She has to sleep near the window because of her asthma.

To end this Lourdes post, here's a family picture:

It was quite enlightening to be here. I felt really peaceful somehow and all my worries seem to have gone away. I can't really explain the feelings, I think it's something you have to experience it yourself. Definitely a must-visit place for everyone especially Catholics. :)

Ok the end!

Next post I will combine London and Paris together! :)

What's next?

2010-08-13T09:12:00.000-07:00

I shall blog about UK and Europe Trip next!

The further I delay, the more I'll forget and end up not blogging about it at all T___T

I'm going back to uni soon so gotta finish everything before the new semester starts. Hehe!

Changes

2010-08-01T15:11:00.000-07:00

We all need a few changes in our life...

#1. Change Blogskin to a more mature look
#2. Be less forgetful
#3. Aim for better grades my new semester
#4. Find a nicer blog title - this new one sounds bit hmm, i'm just not that satisfied with the new one.
#5. Hopes to find a nicer blog template.
#6. I will be less stubborn, I hope!
#7. I will take better care of myself.
#8. Be happy-go-lucky again
#9. Quit being lazy and study hard!
#10. Be less messy, so as to not drive my roommate crazy. Hey! that rhymes! :P

And I believe there will be many more to come...

The experience that I get from travelling to the UK has open up my eyes to many, many things. This is why they say, exposure is very important. Oh hey, just because I've been to the UK doesn't mean I know everything already. I don't mean that really. But it has changed me in many ways, though how it does that, I don't know how to explain it. When I know it, I'll tell you. =) Otherwise, you can think about it. Hehe!

So my blog is currently under renovation. Hence the ugly state it's in now.

The UK

2010-07-24T12:12:00.000-07:00

The last time I thought the closest I can go to UK is Ulu Kapit but now I'm actually at United Kingdom. It's almost a dream come true if it wasn't for the whole worrying about the results thing that caused me to not enjoy my holidays at the begining. I kept thinking what am I going to do if I failed and I need to go back home and the ticket has been all booked and stuff. Haih, you have no idea how terribly worried I am.

Well, I am liking the UK a lot. I love the weather here now that is supposedly thought to be rather hot since it's summer but it's quite cold and chilly actually. Maybe because it's approaching Autumn or something. hehe.

I'm actually here to attend my sister's graduation. One great and biggest mistake that I made is that I stupidly forgot to bring the Camera!!! Grr! I hate my forgetfulness. Sorry, Sis! :( I kept thinking that maybe I should go on the bus to go back to the hotel to get the camera. But that means I would miss the entire event and that would be an even more gratifying thought T_T And hence, very truly sorry I don't have any graduation pictures to share. I hope her friends will upload it though.

Oh right with all that ramblings I forgot to say something:

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR GRADUATION,

DEAREST DIANA!!!!

Let you 'kembang hidung' a bit with this picture.

Although you were rather annoying because you keep nagging and scolding me the whole time before you graduation *sakit hati*, I shall be patient with you because I think that perhaps you're very stressed out by the Prep for Graduation and moving house thingy.And you really, really should stop that habit of biting your fingernails. =__=

So, Diana. being the first one to graduate in our family - How does it feel? :) hehe. Any advices on being a fresh graduate?

I have a few pictures to share but I don't know how to work with the transfering of pictures with the new camera and thus, I can't upload it yet. I will do that another time then, hopefully! I hope my procrastination won't lead to nothing in the end cos this trip is something I must blog about.

Okies, time to go. I want to lie down for a while. I don't know why I have a headache all of a sudden. It's 8.34pm and the sky is like 6pm in Sibu- still pretty bright. Something I'm not used to. :S

Bye bye! till next time.

Guilty!

2010-07-24T12:06:00.000-07:00

I just realised I didn't kept my promise of writing that separate Birthday post for Pamela.

T__________________T

I am so so so so sorryyyy, Pamela. I had been rather forgetful this lately. =( It's a bad thing. NOT a good thing at all.

I shall make it up to you in a different way then. Give you a hug perhaps? XD lol I know you won't like that. Hmmm... how about a Chocolate Bar? If I find a nice one at Ta Kiong then I buy for you ok? =D

I will write another separate post of my holidays cos this one should be specially dedicated to you to show you how sorry and guilty I'm feeling now.

Random + History

2010-07-04T06:38:00.000-07:00

P.S: Birthday Girls, please open this post using Internet Explorer. The colour scheme is correct if you read using IE)

I'm going to be very very random (and a bit historical too xD ) with my blog post today.

You'll see how random it is soon.

In between June and July, we celebrated 3 Birthdays.

First it was Sally's Birthday!

~Sexy Sally~ (enjoy this picture cos it's not often that Sally uses dresses like this) :P

Happy Belated Birthday,
Miss Sally!

(Her birthday's on 19th June, I'm sooooooooooo late! T___T sorry babe! )
I hope you enjoyed the second b-day surprise! Muahks! :D
The first one is rather a secret so cannot mention here. =P

And then we celebrated Carol and Pamela's Birthday in Advance...

I have no pictures of them cos I took those pictures with Steph's Camera. :( The only camera I have is my camera phone *sad*

and so i decide to rip this picture off Caroline's facebook!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY,
CAROLINE MIJIN! ( Her birthday's on 2nd of July)

&

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN ADVANCE, PAMELA!!!
(6th July) - I'll write a proper Bday dedication for you on that day k, Pam? Now still early. lol!

I cannot believe that our surprise actually worked! Cos I thought that you both saw me and Steph hiding at the corner there talking to the waitress. Drat! But you both didn't see us so YAYS!!! :D

..................................................

And this is the birthday gift that Clarey did for me.. :D Sweet yes?! ( I know, I know. very late already only I blog about it. Forgive me, Clare. :( I've been really busy till I forgot to blog about it. I only bring it home now. )

I love all parts of this gift! Especially the way the jewels shine when I take this picture. :)
This is the unrelated and random part of this post.

I actually have a lot of things I wanna blog about but I think i'll leave that for another day. Cos I want to let this blog post be a happy one and cheerful one.

OK, bye everyone. I need to do something very important now. (watch Korean Drama Series )

Done!

2010-06-27T23:45:00.000-07:00

Finally finished my finals.

The last one was so hard. FIS some more. Haih. I really sincerely had tried my best. No kidding. I practically squeezed all the juice out of my brain for that Exam. Pray hard that I will pass. I am very very SCARED. T_______________T

Ok, actually I don't really have the mood to write here but I just felt like it needs a bit of updating after so long. Next time when I grow old, I'll come back to this blog and see how much I've suffered, wts. OK that was a very stupid idea.

I'm very sleepy to tell you the truth. :( but now I'm waiting for Sally to finish her exams only then I can go back. So I'll just wait.

I am very sad. and Angry. Not at the lecturer but myself. =/ I am expecting and aiming for a Distinction but for now, even a PASS i'll be truly, truly grateful. I really worked hard for it. I will pray hard that I will pass it... I'm hoping for a miracle now.

Performing My Duty

2010-06-12T03:44:00.000-07:00

.... as a younger sister to write this post. hahahahaa.. can guess already this post is dedicated to whom? :)

*psst hey, hopefully nobody that you know reads my blog then they will know its your birthday. haha..

Happy Birthday to my
Dearest Sister, Diana!! :)

Well this will be a rather short dedication because, i AM ACTUALLY PREPARING FOR MY FINAL EXAMS AT THE SAME TIME. so therefore, hopefully that even though it's short, it'll be sweet as candy for you to read too. (I love to exaggerate a bit.. :P)

Before I go on, a suggestion for you:

Put this as your profile picture? or if you don't like this picture.. how about...

This one?

or
.
.
.

this one : where you kena teased by Chien Hui.. LOL! so kesian.

Eh if I think it's me right, sure cannot reach it at all T____T Sure cannot even see the number haih. wonder why they put it so high up hor..? Is it because scared that kids will play with it? O_O"

Anyways the main point is that.. why you don't want to change your profile picture?!? lol.

Ok enough with the teasing. I've got to rush back to studying Macroeconomics already. (ugh! the subject is interesting but questions in the finals are expected to be quite tough. :S)

I can't wait to go to your Graduation in July! :D Cannot wait! eekss!! But hey, I must concentrate in studies so bye bye~ lol. Once i finish all my exams I can plan where to go and what to do there! :D hehehheheheheheh..

Anyways, take care always and know that I love you and miss you lots!

*HUGS* * I know you hate pink but I purposely put it to annoy you, HEH!*

P.S: what do you want for your birthday? :)

An experience

2010-06-04T18:49:00.000-07:00

Today for the first time ever, I waited for an hour to eat a bowl of Kolok Mee called The Next Coffee Shop located at Carpenter Street. Actually I'm not sure if that's the name of the place. I just remember seeing that signboard. I tried to search for this famous Coffee Shop online but I can't seem to find it. :S I think that perhaps it's called Min Joo Cafe originally since that's the only name I can find online and the food look very much like the food that I've eaten at The Next Coffee Shop. It's a green signboard. You won't miss it if you look carefully.

*update* lol, I just found out that yes, that was the original name and that they've actually moved to the next coffee shop. The new shop name is called 'the next coffee shop' lol. pun intended. XD

Anyways, well, Steph was curious to find out why is it that people are willing to wait for an hour for that Bowl of Kolok Mee with a bowl of mixed pork 'inner parts'. I must admit that I was rather curious myself. The worse part is that when we sit down, we have to wait to be served. Even if we call the people to order the drinks and food, they will ask you to wait for a while. I think my dad will hate it there since he always have the 'customers' right' rule. To be honest, I think I might have gotten that habit too.

We arrived there at about 7.40am. Waited to be seated and 10 minutes later, we finally shared a table with an old man who apparently, I think is a very regular customer of the coffee shop. He's probably there at 6 something already to grab a seat. Food finally arrived at 8.45am like that. We only ordered two bowls of noodle and a huge bowl of mixed pork soup and shared those among 3 of us, Sally, me and Steph.

So what's my review? Indeed the noodle was really special and was cooked to perfection and when I say perfection, I meant it. It's nor too cooked or under cooked. But sadly, it was really salty. T_T I hardly finish half a bowl. I ended up not finishing it and gave half of it to Sally. The soup was salty too, since I think it contains salted vegetable or kiam chai. I enjoyed eating the pork liver though. It was yummy. :) If it wasn't salty, I would give it a 4/5 rating. Since it's a bit too salty for me, I'm just going to give it a rating of 3/5.

Ok that's all I'm going to write. I just decide to blog about it (which is why there's no picture of the food. :X) cos I've never had an experience like that before.

Finals

2010-06-04T09:14:00.000-07:00

Final's in 2 week.

I feel like there's not much time to study all of it in time. T__T

So worried. My worrying has made me think that perhaps I shouldn't sleep and should spend time studying instead. what do I think i am, huh? A robot?? =_= Which is why at night I find it superbly hard to sleep. haih,

It's a very stupid thought and therefore I should try not to think like this.

Ok, back to my FIS.

After FIS, Contract Law. After Contract Law, it's Macroeconomics revision. Sigh. Only 3 subjects but all 3 are very heavy subjects - sigh-

bye bye now. See ya when I need to complain and whine again.

woo hoo (note the sarcasm)

2010-05-18T20:22:00.000-07:00

Macroeconomics Workshop and Assignment due

NEXT WEEK.

Enough said!

I

tired......................................... and sleepy......... and depressed.

Argh i hate uni!

Am I stupid or what? -_______________-

A new Acne has formed.

bye that's all. I just want to blab some nonsense.

7 Wonders of Amanda's World

2010-05-09T08:44:00.000-07:00

I've finally found the time to do your tag, Mau! :D

Ok, actually i still have piles and piles of homework to do la, but it's okay! It's Sunday, so... =) I think I will have plenty of time to do my homework tomorrow. And I can't do my assignment yet cos I'm a bit stuck with it so I shall wait till I have the time to discuss it with my lecturer.

My imagination is rather wild/weird. Oh so how wild can it be? ok, this example that I'm going to give isn't exactly the 'wildest' imagination yet. I hope this example will do. hehe.. I can be sitting in car waiting for my friends to come out from a mini-store when a man walks pass, and I imagine him smashing the car windows and attempts to rob us all in the car. T_T I have other imaginations but I can only remember this particular image vividly. I hope it won't happen in real life. *touch wood*

I'm a very messy person. I tend to throw stuff around without realizing it. And then, when I realised it, the whole room would already be a complete mess. Haih, very bad habit, I know. I know I drive my roomie a.k.a. Bestie crazy ~~sometimes~~ all the time with my messiness. Sorry, babe! X(

I can be rather defensive sometimes. The truth is I never knew I have this really bad habit of being over-defensive at times. It's my Uni friends who told me this. >_<>

I am hot-tempered. No, no, don't be surprised. I really am. Ask my brother/sister or anyone in my family.

I always talk a whole lot of rubbish/nonsense non-stop when I'm very tired. I'm serious! Sometimes, I honestly don't even know what am I saying. Just whole lots of junks. -__- Ask Pamela, Steph, Sally, Carol and Chai Yung. They can explain to you what or how I am like when I'm in that condition. It's like I'm drunk of something. Mabuk Sleep is the word I would call it. :S

I am indecisive. I find it very hard to make decisions. Sometimes, even small decisions like picking the kind of food I want to eat from the menu is sooo... hard. Questions like, what if what I order will taste bad. Or argh! I should have picked the other food! Less spicy or it's tastier!

I have very low self-esteem. I tend to be self-conscious of my appearance and especially how I walk. I hate it when people stare at me. I never like it and I don't think I will ever get used to it. If I'm in a bad mood, I would stare at them back in a fierce way. Sometimes I just ignore them.

Ok, I'm done. I hope you enjoy reading it cos I'm actually being honest about what the real me is like. I'm not proud of them and of cos I hope to get rid of the bad things about myself.

I tag Clare, Steph, Ling, Dara, Alif, Jersie and Tina! :)

Oh I'm so Late!

2010-05-05T05:16:00.000-07:00

Dearest Maureen,

I'm am so terribly sorry.. It has been more than a month since your Birthday! T____T (April 11 - your birthday T_________T)

I really wanted to write a Birthday Dedication for you but I was so so so busy! (until i forgot to write. - confessions of a lousy best friend) Then when it's mid-semester break, I don't have the internet connection to update my blog. I went to KL during Mid-Sem break. Hence, this very late birthday post.

So well, now, 22 years old eh? What should I write on being 22? Let's have 'sharing' moments on being 22. =)

- Life seems to get more complicated. ( Don't you agree?)

- Oooohh Oooohh... It's getting nearer to Graduation Day! *half excited cos it also means my University Days is going to be over* ( How about you? )

- Sometimes we tend to reflect a little bit about our life - how it has been, how time flies,Feeling the - I can't believe I'm in Uni already! moments, a couple of years ago I was running around my house compound in my undies (tee hee!). ( Which part of this statement do you agree? ;P )

- HMMMM.... 22 now. Marriage? Love life? lol! Well, honestly, I don't think about this that much but the thought does come across my mind once in a while. ( How about you? ;D )

- I'm not getting any younger, I think I should enjoy life more! ( Agree or not?! )

- ARGH!! I hate assignments, I hate the workload I have!!! -sigh- uni life lor.. ( This one.. lol, i think no need to ask I already know :P )

Okay that's all i can think of for now.. LOL. I better not write any more, otherwise It'll be like I hate being 22 but in fact, being 22 has a lot of perks too! I hope it's the same for you so far..

Anyways, enjoy your holidays and once again, truly sorry for the very very (infinity) late birthday post!

Take care, My lovely Bestie, Maureen! *hugs*

P.S: A virtual B-day cake for you!

Busy Bee

2010-03-28T09:36:00.000-07:00

Okay, I just realize that I've not blog at all since coming back to Uni.

I've been really busy lately. I'm trying to finish all my FIS tutorials this sem and seriously it's SO much work!

I have a lot of things to blog about actually but I can't find the time and inspiration to do so yet. So hence this short blog post.

I want to write about my trip to Macau, GuangZhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong during CNY, but it'll take TOO much of my time so I'll leave that when I have sufficient time to write k? Honestly I've forgotten most of the things about the trip so *cross fingers* that I would be able to write a proper post about it whenever I can. :S Ok the truth is, I've been procrastinating that post cos I am also a bit lazy to blog. gah! I don't know where is my inspiration to blog already T___T I love blogging but the feel to blog seems to have fade a little bit. I think I'm just pure lazy to blog. :P and there's so so much things to do. Assignments, workshops, mid semester test are all coming up! I hope I have enough time to complete it all T_T *sigh*

Anyways, it's late and I need to sleep now and I don't know what else to write about except complain and complain and yes, more complains. lol. I don't want to bore you guys so I think this is all for now. I just want to update my blog with this short blog post actually. It seems so... empty without any new post. hmm, maybe i do miss blogging after all. :)

I'll just end this post with this pic :)

It's so freaking cold outside that when I blow hot air on the window in the hotel that I can manage to draw this cute smiley face :)

This is how the view looks like. I honestly can't remember which hotel i think this view. T__T was it Macau or GuangZhou? haih bad memory, i should have named this picture or something so I can remember, =_= why only now I thought of it.

If anyone of you recognize where is this, do let me know. Thanks in advance! :) wait, i have a relapse of memory, I think i see Macau Tower in this pic, so this is Macau? Ok, I'm not sure actually T_T

right, time to sleep! nitez!

Acceptance

2010-01-26T08:38:00.000-08:00

I've finally accepted The Ugly Fact that I failed. Again.

Well, no point feeling sorry for myself now. I must gain all the courage I have left and pull up my stockings.

This post is dedicated to all of you who've helped me through this most difficult moments of my life. My friends and my family =D You all are the best! You know who you are =))) Thanks so much! Without you all, I don't think I could have pulled through. It was definitely one of the worst time of my life. LOVE you all!

Pic taken from DeviantArt =) Credits goes to this person! love this pic! :D
Got clouds! My fav!

Good news is I feel I've returned to my normal self. I actually thought I will never smile again, I will never laugh again, I'll be super serious Amanda until you all won't even recognize who's standing in front of you. >_< yes, that was how horrible the results were to me. Thank God I'm not turning into that person.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, some random pics that I found in my handphone!

Steph, Carol and Sally. Not exactly candid as you can see =P

That time we just finish our Karaoke session at K-box. Wondering why are they dressed up like that? lol that's because we all just finished playing Badminton and went straight to K-box. Crazy much? Well, exams does that to us. :)

My cousin's baby, Baby Bernita? wah i just realised i dono how to spell her name T_T

my own baby! =D drat this pic cant see her new pretty pink necklace.
"I'm so shy" mewmew blushed as she meowed those words.

She actually look damn annoyed in this pic. I forced her to take pic when she want to sleep. Cos i want to take pic of her in her pretty pink necklace. She refused to look at the camera. Ungrateful baby! Tomorrow no need to eat! *fake angry face at mewmew*

Urm not-so-nice pic of myself in some toilet.

I loved my lashes that day so I actually camwhored with it. -.-" I think it was 175 degree's toilet lol. I don't want to rotate it cos I don't think it's a good pic of me. That way you all won't really see properly how funny i look. :P

aww.. cute rite? I think it was some doodle on some seating place at Bukit Aup. So obvious this pic super old already. I think it was taken in 2007/2008 cos that was the last time I went to Bukit Aup.

lol I think Diana ask me to take this pic cos of the words 'Super Chien'

Oh look at those pretty lights! Huge popcorn symbolises the MBO cinemas. :)

Okies, no more pics. Luckily. Cos it's getting late. Time for bed! Nite nite all!

Breakdown

2010-01-22T07:02:00.000-08:00

I don't think I will update my blog that often anymore until my coming semester's finals are over.

It's time to get serious. This time, i mean it.

I have enough of myself. Enough of failure. Enough of feeling the aftermath of failure. ENOUGH!

So as much as I love writing here, I have to decrease updating my blog.

The failure this time, is the final straw. I am truly disappointed in myself. Words cannot even describe how sad and angry I am at myself at this moment.

Worrywart

2010-01-16T07:33:00.000-08:00

Worries
( Not in sequence of level of worriness - all of these are something that I'm highly worried about)

1. Worried that I won't pass all my modules.

2. Worried that even though I can complete all the driving lessons but I can't sit for the Driving test by JPJ cos I need to go back to Kuching by March 7. T_T So most probably I will take the Driving Test in April during my mid-sem break. By then, I'm very much afraid that I will forget how to drive already -sigh-

3. I haven't tried driving Manual at all so far. Fear that I can't reach the pedals, my feet not strong enough/unable to control the Clutch/Accelerator.

4. Worried whether I can go to Australia or not.

5. Extremely worried about my results.

6. Worried about my future since my results in Uni isn't exactly GREAT but entirely the opposite instead.

7. Worried I will get bored with Accounting when I work as an accountant in future. (yeah yeah i know chartered accountant high salary blah blah blah, i'm fully aware of that.)

8. Worried how am I going to study in Australia with my health problems. -sigh- nevertheless, i really, really want to go to Australia too =/

9. Worried whether I can get through all my subjects in this coming semester. It'll be a whole lot harder.

10. SOSOSO worried about FIS results and other results as well *scared like what* (yea i know i wrote this already but nevermind, i want to write it again cos for now this is what I'm MOST worried about)

11. Can I just not look at my result slip?!?!?! T____T

12. Worried whether selecting Finance as my minor is yet another one of my biggest regrets in my life.

Well, that's the end of my list so far. I actually thought I got 5 worries only but as i started to list them out only i realised that there's actually more than i thought =_=

Okie in order to make this post less depressing, let's play a little imagination game yea. :)

[Diana a.k.a. Deh Nah, in case you're very stress in your exams, you can play this game for fun! :D I'm so kind right, create a game for you to play....? OK la, it's a pretty lame game but just play lah.. HEHE! others can play also if you're as 'chiak pa eng'(too free)/too bored as I am. ]

what can you spot among these clouds? =)

Ready to imagine?? ok,start! scroll down only when you're ready yea? :)

-end- Here's my guess! look at the circled icon. :D

Lookies!! It's a cute little poodle's head. teehehe.. =D

Oh-oh here's another one, well this pic la, I tried to take the "poodle's head" again but the clouds moved a bit already so looks a bit different.

uncircled pic, give you time to imagine first. =P Don't scroll down yet. just focus on the pic above.

Circled!

It kinda looks like Jughead from Archie's Comics. Jughead without his crown and with very curly looking hair, hehe.. XD He's also probably imagining that clouds are burgers or something. Got the sunlight effect also ok?? :D :D :D Drat, imagining the clouds like this makes me miss reading Archie Comics, =.=|||

OK. Obviously I'm a tad bit bored so even got time to create lame games like this >_<

Ok, don't know what else to blog already. Byes now!

Clare, Clarey, Clare~~ sings in a musical tone

2010-01-12T07:17:00.000-08:00

Hello Clarey!

Happy 22nd Birthday!!

Ok, honestly, I edited this pic quite a long time ago out of fun + boredom and i added something more to it. lol. I can't remember if I've shown it to you yet tho. Hope you like the lashes i gave you in the pic! =P It's my best work, yet. -perasan- I actually tried to give myself eyelashes too and I look all weird! T_T You on the other hand, look lovely with it. =D

Hmmm... well, you're now in Singapore, working. Wow, times really flies. Few years back you were on the road to become a nurse. And now, YOU are one! Anyways, I hope you're doing well in Singapore. I won't expect you to get attached to the lifestyle in SG that fast though. So just take things slowly. I know you can do it! I've always think of you as an independent person. I remember when you were in Secondary School, you always walk to school. (It's a big deal for me cos I actually thought that walking from your house to the school is rather tiring. ok-ok, obviously i need more exercise back then. *sniffles* ) Then when your parents are out of town, you took care of your bro and yourself well. And hey, you even went shopping alone in KL. That my dear is rather brave if I must say so. I don't think I'll ever dare to go out on my own in KL.

Now that I have Xiu Xiu, I can play with pictures more.. And it's a good way to beautify this B-day Post for you. :)) So this time, I'll let the pictures do most of the talking for this special B-day post k? :D

our last pic we took together :D

You and your dear =P

I tried to find better background than this but xiuxiu also need the internet T_T I cant online with my laptop. Can't install xiuxiu to my dad's laptop either cos xiuxiu contains virus *sigh*
I hope you like this one tho.

Ok well since the pic above isn't very clear, I'll upload another one. =) I know you've seen it before but i think it still looks better than the pic above. tee hee!

I really want to edit the more recent pic of you and him together but I can't =( Cos I need to study for my ever so boring KPP Test that I will be having tomorrow. -sigh- as usual, I'm studying at the last minute T_T Got 500 Questions to try some more -.- I'll edit it next time k?

Okie Clarey.. I think i've come to the end of this post. May you have a great and wonderful celebration for your Birthday this year.. Sorry I can't be there to celebrate with you.. I just realised I hardly celebrated your Birthday with you =/ awww.... *sad* I really hope you have a great time though. You're in a new place, so maybe your birthday will be celebrated a bit differently? If not, it doesn't matter either cos I'm sure what matters most is that you spend it with someone who is ever so special to you! *grins*

Take care Clarey!! Miss you lots lots lots!!

Hugs & Love from your BFF ,

Amanda

---edited--- (can't believe i forgot to write a thank you note the last time T_T)

I'm officially 22 now! =D/=S Hmmmm... I'm not sure which smiley should I put.. Cos um.. wah 22.. dah tua.. >_<>< i mean there's good and bad for being older also right?? :D

Alright I actually wanted to write this blog post on my Birthday but I was too exhausted to do so. Today I'm actually ALSO very sleepy but I think I don't wanna delay anymore. In case I get even lazier to blog. Holidays can make people lazy. -sigh-

Okies.. I MUST talk about the b-day surprise plans Steph made for me and Mau.

Birthday Cake for Me and Mau =D *bought by Steph* Looks good and taste superb too!

Steph told me she want to surprise Mau for her Birthday, so on 30th December 2009 ( we had to put the dates forward cos Mau Mau goin back to her Uni on the 1st of Jan 2010), Then Steph told Mau that we were going to celebrate MY birthday too. lol. So in a way Steph wasn't lying cos that Birthday Celebration was for both Me and Mau XD Mau treat us for dinner that night. Thanks SOOO much,Mau!! I wish I could do the same for you =/

Me and Mau Mau with our B-day cake, heehehe!

Me and MauMau cutting the cake :D

This is me blowing out the candles on one side of the cake! lol. the other side was for Mau!:D

this is the only pic that got steph inside =/ aww we should have taken a group photo.. *the excitement made us forgot to do so*

Next are my gifts this year. I combine them all in one pic cos I think with my internet line, it'll take time to upload the pics. My interests change over time so Steph and my other friends knew what to get for me.. aww.. shows how much they pay attention to what I like... They're sooo sweet! *hugs*

*excited* ( I changed the colour of the pic a bit. so it's kinda purplish. =X Purple is a happy colour for me! )

The cosmetic bag which I thought was a handbag at first :S

Rimmel London Mineral Powder (Tried it,works naturally on the skin! :D ), Majolica Majorca Mascara! (LOVE IT!! =D Can't find this brand in Sarawak so Steph went to KL to buy it for me..awww.....) - I'll show you how it really looks like in the next picture, Three Shades Blusher - Rimmel London ( eeps! the colours are so amazing!), Majolica Majorca's LipGloss ( Haven't got the chance to try it yet cos I'm still using my own one >_<) andddd... IN2IT black eyeliner with glitter that I got from Chai Yung! ( Of cos I love it too!)

I super, super LOVE the shape of this Mascara.. reminds me of the um.... what's that thing called. (Pod? Pond?) that can be found on Chess. :D

Ok now I'm going to show you all the lovely card they got me. LOL. it's funny too. XD

the 'outside' of the card

the 'inside' of the card

They know I always sleep very "early" the morning XD

Anyways, on my actual B-day, I went out with Steph. It was rather simple but I had fun hanging out with her :D We went to Delta Mall then to Medan Mall. Walked around a little and then had lunch at Uncle Dom's. Hehe.. Urm the food there are not very nice ><>_<) Ok, I need to go take a nap now. I'm getting neck pain all of a sudden.

Wait before I go, I want to Thank every single one of you who gave me such a wonderful B-day this year!!! LOVE YOU ALL LOTS!! THANKS SOOO... MUCH! *HUGS HUGS HUGS*

Unrelated Note: Results out in a few weeks T_T I'm terrified!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Resolutions for 2010

Learn how to drive
Teach myself how to love accounting -seems highly impossible but I will try not to hate it
Not to go to lousy New Year Eve's Party this year. Last year's one was horrendous! Awful singing and lame entertainment -The organiser got someone to dress up as Tarzan & Jane and Oh gosh just thinking about it makes me feel queasy. argh! And no, I didnt take any pictures of them cos it's not worth the space in my camera phone. I'm so glad I didn't stay till midnight! I couldn't stand the extremely awful entertainment that I had to go and stand outside on my own. Yes, that is how horrible it was. No, I will NOT say that at least the organiser tried to make it more entertaining cos seriously, it WASN'T. Food was oh so YUCK! (I'm not being picky. Trust me, the food was the worst food I've EVER tasted and the worst part of it all is that it costs my dad RM500, wth! [ok this one not really a resolution but oh well, it's a resolution to me. hehe.]
Learn how to use my make up properly - learn how to use eyeshadow.
Pray More, Play Less
Try to have slimmer hips
Train Roxy and Max how to sit, shake hand, stay and stand.

Roxy & Max
-with their puppy dog eyes aww x)

For now these are all of it. I can't seem to think of any more at the moment. :S

Oh more pictures coming later. I'm too lazy to upload them also. lol. I want to play Farmville! :S I'm addicted to another facebook game T_T see what boredom does to a person *sighs*

Quickie

2009-12-31T02:08:00.001-08:00

Okie, just a quick update before it turns YEAR 2010. Time flies huh? I'm going to turn 22 in a few days. =S *feels like I'm getting older and older and older.....*

On the day I turn twenty-two, is the day my blog turns a year old too =D

I have to think fast cos i need to go and get ready for dinner later at Island Club. The name of the place is not what you think it is. It's not some kinda club where people go and dance and mingle or in my sister's way of saying - 'to go hiao' It's just some place that the adults go to hang out. pfft.

Anyways, my grandma and cousin is in town. My grandma came here 50 years ago and now she's back for a visit. Let's just say, I hope everything goes well. My cousin, Mary, never been here before. So obviously been kinda busy bringing them around Sibu. Not me bring them around, I don't know how to drive yet T_T I'm just there as the Tour Guide inside the car.

My Besties threw me a surprise early B-day again this year! This time had a little different twist in it. Had to celebrate earlier cos Maureen's going back on New Year's Day. :( so fast... I will talk about in on my Birthday. Pictures of the Bday surprise and New Year resolutions coming later! I don't know why I need to write it cos most of the time it doesn't come true anyways =.=

OK, really must go now it's already 630pm. o.o bye!

I've found it!

2009-12-22T10:29:00.001-08:00

I have finally bought a jacket with a hoodie =D Totally on cloud nine! HEHEHE~

I'm very picky when it comes to purchasing jackets, so when I see one that is nice and worth the price, I'll buy it without hesitation.

Nice or not??

Please ignore the cute little cartoon there. I think it looks kinda kiddy too (=[) but oh well. The other colour ( light blue) with different patern doesn't suit me that much. Cos the colour looks a bit dull and old.

It ONLY costs me RM29.90. Cheap right?? Hey, original price was RM49.90 ok? I think it was a good purchase. It's SOOO warm and comfy too. ;)

Hmmm don't know what else to blog about and i'm kinda sleepy too. so bye bye!

Just Because

2009-12-21T09:42:00.000-08:00

I'm here just because I don't know what else to do. I'm so bored. And I haven't been updating lately cos I've been too busy watching korean dramas. :S Oh and also cos I don't have proper internet connection back at home. =.= I miss Wimax like crazy. I'm now actually using my Dad's Broadband. Otherwise, there's no chance for me to online at all. hmph!

Alright honestly I have no clue what I want to blog about. Just thought that it's time to update my blog. Hehe. So anyways, I'm just going to be random.

I've finally decided to minor is Finance. I have a feeling I'll regret it but what the heck, my future is more important.

* The cute face is there cos I want to block my details*

I miss The Spring

My BFF just went to Singapore today =( Sure going to miss her lots. Couldn't spend much time with her though I was in Kuching cos of the hectic life in Uni. -.-
Lollipops kiosk from 'upper' point of view

My Destress Place

Xiu-Xiu is SO FUN! Xiu-xiu-ed Steph's Hair to Green Colour and mine is Blonde. In real life, I would never dare to dye my hair this colour :X

I actually really did dye my hair tho. I dyed it Velvet Brown. :) Step was my hairstylist :D :D Only dare to reveal now cos Mum knows it so it's safe to blog about it here. :P

This is the end product of Velvet Brown =) I think the colour has faded a bit now.

Kuching City View - taken quite a long time ago but I only post it up now. I LOVE the clouds. I LOVE the sky. Oh so calm and peaceful *sigh* I want to be a bird so I can feel how the clouds feel like. I'm pretty sure it just feels like air tho. =S

Remember in my old blog, I once mentioned that I took pic with "Santa Claus" for the first time in my life? And I said I will post it up? Well, here it is. lol that was in year 2008. :P The pic is kinda blur cos I took a pic of that pic. Confused? I think you're all smart to figure it out yes?

Right I think I'm done here. Good nite everyone. Or rather good morning since it's pass midnight already. =x

P.S: Christmas is near but I don't really feel the joys of Christmas yet =/ I hate Drama at home =.=

It's almost over

2009-11-30T10:17:00.000-08:00

I can't say that Finals is totally over for me.

I still have another one more paper to go - Moral Studies. It's on the third. But, I'm glad that all my majors are done and over with though. It feels like the longest month of my entire life this November.

Now my plans for the holidays would be:

- Watch KD Boys over Flowers
- Worry about Final Exams results
- Watch KD Surgeon Bong Dal Hee
- Worry about Final Exams results
- Sleep and Eat
- Worry about Final Exams results
- Pray hard so I pass all my modules this semester
- Think what minors and majors to pick. *sigh* now that the Uni has come up with a new system where we have to switch to Bachelor of Commerce, there's a whole lot of big decisions to make again. Which I totally HATE from the bottom of my heart. =( There's a good and bad to it. Good cos there's a wider choice but bad cos I am seriously afraid of making decisions. *phobia T_T*
- Worry about Final Exams results.

End of list.

Today I watched one of the highly anticipated movie of the year:

NEW MOON

Overall I think it was not bad. There are some highlights of the movie here and there. Slightly boring for me though. I still think that Twilight was better. I can't wait for the third one though! Hopefully it'll be great. hehe.

Okay Good night. time for Cafe World.

17 days?!?!?

2009-11-05T07:42:00.000-08:00

Okay I was planning my timetable for the Final Exams, and, anddddddddddddddddddddddddd...

I'm extremely shocked!!

I only got 17 Days to FINAL EXAMS!

17 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

17 DAYS!

So yea, this will the last post you'll see from me until after FINAL EXAMS!

Bye!

Emotional Roller Coaster Ride

2009-11-05T05:08:00.000-08:00

I haven't played Facebook for 2 days now.

I can't say it's because I can stand the temptation of not going to Facebook. That's because I'd be lying if I said so. The truth is - I asked my friend to block my Facebook so that I can't enter Facebook. Yeap. I really did that.

I must say, it helps me a lot. I get things done faster. No more procrastinating. Which is officially my middle name. Cos I've been procrastinating a lot lately =(

I think I'm suffering from mood swings too. I can be happy and joyful first and dull and sad the next moment. This is not very like me and I hate being like this. Perhaps it's the effect that the final exams is just around the corner. Or perhaps I'm just suddenly getting tired of life again. (It happens quite often but the feeling will fade away.)

Today at library, we had a 'situation'. Pam and I thought there's gas leaking in the Uni's library. *paronoid :x* And so we informed the Librarians. Turns out, it's just rubbish that some idiot didn't throw. Ew!! =_= But anyways, put that aside, I remembered thinking, what if the library were to explode, what if I actually died there and then *choi choi touch wood*, what are the things I would regret not having to do? I kept telling myself, I'm too young to die, I'm too young to die. There are many things in life that I have not tried yet. Eg: Right now I'm obsessed with make up but I can only buy a few at a time :( I also want to travel the world. I want to go to Paris, UK and argh basically, anywhere around the world. In other words, I want to go to places! :D I'm already 21 and actually that's not a young age anymore (no offence to those who are older than 21 >_< ) Oh Oh! and I also want to go bungee jumping. ( even though I think when I'm really at that place I'll probably end up shaking all over and run away T_T)

*sigh* Sometimes all it takes is something uh... unexpected(?) to make you reflect about your life. This rather weird 'situation' triggered something in my mind and that is I should just enjoy life to the fullest. But, alas, right now, I don't feel like enjoying. I feel like curling up in a ball at the corner. Of course, I wouldn't really do that. It's something I tend to imagine myself doing every time I feel depressed or anything.

ANYWAYS..... enough writing nonsense. This is actually my first time writing like this for everyone to see. Usually I keep posts like this in a secret place.

This might probably will be my last post till final exams is over. Or maybe I will update again. I don't want people coming back here to check my blog and see Emo post here. -_-

Bye bye and I'm off to arange all my notes so I can study.

You're 21 STEPHANIE HERMON! :D

2009-10-31T03:04:00.000-07:00

Dearest Steph,

3oth October 2009 was the day you turned 21. I'm terribly sorry that I write this Birthday post 2 days late. I think you know why it took me some time to write this post. :) Below are my reasons:

1. Too busy enjoying ourselves =D =D
2. Too busy blowing my nose, coughing and going to toilet. T_T pure bad luck. Sick on your Birthday! T_T
3. I'm too tired
4. I'm looking for ideas on how to write your birthday post.
5. Body ache like what from the 2 hours of Badminton game we had on Wednesday night. :(
6. I don't have much pictures with me.

Okok, I will stop being making excuses now. XD

Anyways, I believed you had a great 21 B-day because I was there to experience your joys and surprises! I'm going to emphasize on the SURPRISE(S). hahaha, cos although the first surprise was a tad bit 'kantoi', the second surprise was very successful =P

I will talk about surprises later. First I must write 'special notes' to you.

All the kisses a.k.a. Loves from all of us.
This is Hippie Princess Stephanie. :D

Steph, you have been a great best friend to me.
You brighten up my days with just a smile. (your smile is so nice till it makes me happy)
Did you know that your laughter is very contagious?
Everytime you laugh, I will feel like laughing too. lol.
You always cheer me up when I'm down.
I'm so grateful to have you studying at the same Uni with me. It makes my life in University more interesting. I got instant friends when I just came to Uni. :D
You helped me a lot. A lot more than you realised.
Listing the times that you've helped me would take forever!
Ok, I'm going to keep my 'special note' to you more simple now. It's getting a bit too long.
I want you to know that I truly, TRULY, TRUUULLLYYY treasure you as my friend.
LOVE YOU LOTS! =D

Your Bestie,
Amanda Song

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

Okay, I need to be fast in talking about what we did for Steph's B-day as I have to do my assignments and discussion forum for my e-biz. I'm going to let the pics do most of the talking.

The night before steph's bday, we went for korean food. :D It was yummy but since I wasn't feeling so well that night I didn't finish my food T_T

True Korean food. These are just the appetizers actually.
I forgot to take the pic of the rest of the meals. :(

Group Pic! The owner is so cute lah. Ask us to say KimChi when we take the pic XD

After that, we went to 175 degree Cafe for Fish Spa. :D

Our feet. oops my feet kena cut off in this pic. Here's another one to replace it.

my foot.

steph's feet.

175 Degree Cafe is also the place where we gave Steph her first Surprise :D

Why the surprise failed: Got a bit over-acting until became too obvious. XD And she saw the cupcakes in my bag. oopsy.

This is the second surprise. :D The mastermind behind the surprise - Caroline.
The rest of us helped Carol by trying to act. I must say that our acting was not bad. Cos the second surprise was really successful! She had no idea about the second cake. :P yays!

Hippie Princess making her wishes =D May your wishes come true Steph!

Steph with her gift from all of us. :D

This post shall end abruptly with group pics of all of us present that day because I seriously need to go and do my assignment now! T_T

At The Junk

Ok, byes~

Sushi Frenzy

2009-10-21T06:32:00.000-07:00

Never in my life have I eaten so many Sushi-s at one go.

Mainly it's because it costs wayyyy to much. But this time it's different cos all of the above only costs RM2 per plate :D :D :D I didn't want to go at first cos i think I've already spent a bit too much this month but this is something that shouldn't be missed. :D

So anyways, I've done my:
FIS assignment
MDM assignment
Moral Studies assignment

All that is left is my E-business assignment. :( and it looks like it's a lot of work. I'm very worried about my final exams. I don't know how to plan my time. Since I need to concentrate on assignments too. I'm afraid I will fail my Company Law, My FIS and My MDM.. T___T

*sigh* I feel like this teddy bear on the window sill. =/Except in my mind, the sun is not there. It's more like a dark, cloudy day.

Hmmm... Ok la, I admit, I'm being partly emo so that I can post this teddy picture above :P Must have reason to post picture like this. tee hee~

But okay, seriously I AM INCREDIBLY worried about my Final Exams. I know I shouldn't be wasting my time blogging here etc etc but don't tell me that cos I already know so. I just can't help writting what I feel so here I am. :)

Alright, I think i'll go find some information for my e-business assignment now. Byes~ enough talking for now.

Library

2009-10-13T20:08:00.000-07:00

I am now in the library again. I think I spent more time in the Library nowadays.

It has been an extremely hectic week for me.

I had to do my moral studies survey questions, finish my E-Business Group Case Studies forum, and study for my Company Law test on Wednesday all in Monday Night.

And now that I'm done with my Company Law test, I have to work on my MDM assignment which is due this Friday O_O Anyways, I hope I did much better for the Company Law test this time than my previous test. I need all the marks I can get.

I need to start studying for my finals already. I did extremely horrible in my MDM mid-terms. *sigh* I have to find a way to divide my time starting from now. I have to study for other modules as well - FIS mainly. =(

I love University Life but when the stress and pressure get to me, I wish I'm this person:

So free and happy-go-lucky. That is what I portray from the picture above.

I'm still addicted!

2009-10-09T05:09:00.000-07:00

My rating has gone up compared to last time! YAYS! But have to stop playing for a while. Haih. Exams and Assignments more important. =/ *sigh*

I'm addicted...

2009-10-07T07:02:00.000-07:00

And I want you to be addicted too :P

Swinburne Prom Night 2009 - Masquerade

2009-09-28T19:44:00.000-07:00

Side Note:
I'm back in Sibu. Yays! Home cook food!! :D

It's been a loooonnng time since I last blog about something. Been too busy with exams and tutorial work.

So anyways, as the title above says it all, you know what I'm going to blog about. :) As usual I'm going to let the pictures do most of the talking. Unless I feel the need to put a caption then I will put la. hehe. The rest is up to you. Let your imagination fly. haha. I'm talking rubbish. Yes, I'm aware of that. :S

My mask, which I didn't like at first but I loved it also in the end. :D Cost me RM20. :s

Okay, actually most of the pictures I grabbed from Celez. Cos I don't have much pictures with me.

lol, Celez who took this picture? This is a lovely picture la. Got our table number and nice background too. :D

Before the Prom. Please ignore the messy background :S and also the pimple on my forehead(the results of having 2 mid term exams the day before Prom Night T_T )

:D

I want to show the purple flower pin in my hair but cannot see also. >_<

this one can see the pin in my hair. :X thank you to whoever who took this picture. :D

Food "Performance"

Table No. 16. All lovely ladies :D

Me & Steph with masks. I just realised our pose are the same ;D
Hmm.. I thought got a pic of me and Steph without the mask but I can't find it in my phone.

Ray's Saloon's Models and Hairdresser

Claps and Cheers for Ray's Saloon.

Me and Caroline

Zoomed in a bit :)

tiny girl, Justina and Elegant Steph

I'm slouching. :S
note to self: DO NOT SLOUCH!

The Best Mask Moment

After the Prom

Spot the Difference

Our very own 'feel like a celebrity moment'. tee hee~
(why am i so short T___T wear heels also still short. and my feet hurt like hell after that. )

Well, I think the Prom this year was.... ok ok only. I truly enjoyed the beginning of the Prom though. Got lots of nice performance :D Jersie sang very well too. Towards the end, I was bored like crazy! Too many loso moments. Eg: Count how many people vote for The Best Mask. Which in my opinion is not the best mask. But kudos to the guy who dared to wear such mask!! Truthfully, I like the person personality better than the mask he wore. Very humourous indeed. lol.

Ok my back is beginning to ache. I better stop now. Enjoy the pictures you all :)

Pretty

2009-09-10T02:25:00.001-07:00

I'm too lazy/tired to think of words for my title so just decided to keep to one word only.

Nail Art. Pretty is it not? ;)

Cost me RM 3 though T_T For just that one nail. But I'm satisfied with the results :D
I know it's kinda weird to do only one nail but imagine if i do all my fingernails RM3x10=RM30!
I can't allow myself to spend too much on something like that (unless i work lah). The real colour is nicer than the picture actually. The background is actually of a lighter green colour.

I LOVE the new cinema in Kuching. MBO is great! And it's sooo near to my apartment. Just about 5 minutes walk to the cinema. lol. =P Didn't take pictures of it though. Cos we were already late for the movie. We watched UP! It was................. beyond amazing! Best RM7 I've ever spent on a movie. *Big grin* Definitely worth it.

END OF BLOG POST.

It's her Special Day

2009-09-06T06:53:00.000-07:00

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY...

CELESTINE
PRISCA
CHRISTOPHER!!!

Enjoyed your dinner at Sharing Planet or not? :D Aren't we the best "food hunter"? =P Can find nice nice place to eat. hehe.

I have to keep this blog post short cos I got lots of things to do. And also with lagging internet connection like this.. -_- Hmmm.. I think you understand how i feel. Enough said! Uploading a pic takes forever. T__T

I sincerely hope you had a great time that night. So long we don't hang out together already. We should do that again. ;)

Me and Celez have one thing in common. :D We both LOVE LOVE LOVE books! We'll go crazy if we enter the bookshop. My book-smelling partner, wahahhaha..

Ok I have to go now. Homeworks Homeworks Tests Exams T_T

Too little time

2009-08-31T10:43:00.000-07:00

There's so much things to do. I even don't have the time to go to Facebook anymore.

The workload this semester is practically like 3 times more than last semester.

I'm hanging on but the pressure that I should do much better than last semester (for FIS especially) is getting to me.

I have 2 mid-term exams on 26th September. What makes it worst is that both are the toughest subject to me so far. FIS and Management Decision Making. T_T

I'm too tired to blab more now. Need to sleep too 'cause I have morning class.

Paranoid Much?

2009-08-18T08:53:00.000-07:00

I don't really know what to blog about.

So I decided to be random.

Well, okay maybe not so random cos what I'm about to blog about is something serious. And actually I didn't think of blogging about it till Maureen mention it in the blog. Something about the word 'Hygiene' made something go click in my brain and I realised - " Hey, I got something serious and important to blog about."

I think the pictures above and the word below says it all.

H1N1

Be very careful and take really good care of yourselves everyone! Try to avoid crowded areas.

P.S: Maureen, I think when I commented in your blog I said I will blog about it some other time, but end up I blog about it right after I commented. Lol. It's just that when I get the feeling to blog, I MUST blog no matter what or else I can't sleep.

P.P.S: 2nd week of new semester is so much busier, so much harder, so much more tiring. *sigh*

It's been a while

2009-08-14T01:13:00.000-07:00

... since I updated my blog.

Been extremely busy now that we're all in a new place. Need to spend a lot of $$$ these days. Books this semester are super expensive T___T All of them costs more than RM100. *sigh* Now hunting for second hand original text books. But then even though can find those sort of books, it still costs a fortune.

Anyways.. I love the new place we're staying at. :D It's so comfortable and very home-y. Unfortunately, we can't seem to use the washing machine. Mainly cos it is too dirty on the inside. We still need to wash it. So I have no choice but to bring my clothes to Laundry Service. More money. =_=

Moving out from hostel is really harder than I thought. I'm actually spending more than I usually spend already and it's only Week 1. =/

Tutorial Registration this semester was more organized. I think mainly it is because the Student Admin are more strict after what happened last semester. It's a good thing. But bad thing is that we can't really get the exact time and day-slot that we want. Oh well, we can't always have it all, I guess.

Hmm.. new semester.. How do I feel about it? Nervous, anxious, scared and a little bit stressed out already. There is more pressure now that I'm going to repeat one of the module. I must try my best to do much better this semester. I should not have high expectations for my grades but then surely we all tend to want the best and better grade. Therefore, I really hope I will do much better this semester. I think most of my time will be spent at the library now that we all need to wait for each other to finish class only then we will go back. ( save petrol, save time, save energy.) We seriously need to get use to this. It's only been Week 1 and we are all really tired already. >_<

Master Bedroom toilet sink. Nice but I can't see myself in the mirror. :(

Shower Room

A glimpse of how the laundry room looks like.

Okay, I think I need to go and take a nap now. Pretty tired. I was too full just now so don't feel like resting yet.

Just quit calling already!

2009-08-06T08:35:00.000-07:00

The other day I got this phone call from a guy. I have no idea who he is.

Then the next thing I knew, he start to sms me in Mandarin. And of course I have no idea what is he writing. Then after that he called me. I told him I don't know how to speak Mandarin and my Mandarin is very bad. He said " Ahya, Nevermind. Just cincai say also can.." =_=" He then proceed to ask a bunch of ridiculous questions like do you have boyfriend lah, how old are you lah.

I replied "No, I don't have a boyfriend. Cos I need to concentrate on my studies first and I have no time for such thing." I was hinting I'm not interested already. The main reason I'm saying that is because for one thing he is a complete stranger.

Then he asked me where I stay in Kuching. ( He's from Kuching) I don't want to answer but he's keep persuading me to say where I live and why I don't want to tell. I got annoyed and retorted " Uh... I don't know who are you. What for I want to tell you where I stay???"

I was curious where he get my number from so I asked him. He replied "Oh I was calling my friend but I end up with your number lor" I went "o_O oh ok"

So okay. Nevermind about that. I did one extremely stupid thing. There's this one time that he called me again and I rejected his phone call. I really don't want to answer his phone calls anymore. But then he kept calling and then.... I stupidly and accidentally called him back. The thing is I had no idea it was me who called him back. I thought it was him who called! No, I'm not kidding. I really am that blur. And that time I was talking to Mum so I was distracted too. Haih. So i "answered the phone call" and proceed to tell him off but I got nervous and ended up being friendly! T__T Which also reminds me that I wasted RM1 something of my credit. I rather use that money to call my BFFs or my sister in the UK.

*sigh* It all happened since Tuesday, I think. So anyways, I always reject his phone call ever since. The problem is.. he still calls me. Today I think he called 3 or 4 times. I rejected two of his phone calls. His first two phone calls I didn't hear cause I was having my dinner. He just called me few minutes ago. At 11 something. =_= And i reject those phone calls again.

I think he's getting the wrong idea because first of all, I did call him back. But NOT because I wanted to!! I accidentally call him back. Perhaps I should tell him that the next time he calls. >:( Argh!! Why did I do stupid things like that in the first place??

Now all I want and wish is for him to STOP CALLING!! ARGHHHH!! So frustrating got people like this ok..

Should I or Should I not?

2009-08-01T10:23:00.000-07:00

I'm thinking whether I should do something to my hair again.

It's annoying me. So messy. T_T And it feels like I'm having a broom (the type that is made of 'lidi' and some strands of 'lidi' falls-off-each-time-you-sweep kind of broom) as my hair.

I feel like cutting it shorter. The haircut I had wasn't the type that I had in mind. But to tell you the truth, I dare not try the hairstyle that I had in mind. But now I'm actually having second thoughts about that. Perhaps I should just follow the type of hairstyle/haircut that i want. =/

I feel like doing rebonding too. That way I won't have the 'broom type' kinda of hair. But then what if it looks too flat and awful. eeps!

I'm still deciding whether I should do something about it or not. I'm afraid that if I do, I'll look even worse :(

Urgh! I hate making decisions. =__=

The Apartment & New Haircut

2009-07-30T02:04:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures of the apartment.

I only took a few cos first of all, I was super exhausted and people are busy carrying stuff into the apartment tak kan I still continue take pictures and don't help right? No la. Actually cos need to listen to Mr. Tan (the guy in charge of taking care of anything with the apartment) give a briefing about the rules of the apartment. Yes, got rules one. I will write about that in a while. For now, I'm going to let the pictures do most of the talking. My whole body is still aching from moving-to-the-apartment thingy.

this one needs no caption

Our very own dressing table! :D

Me and Steph's lovely wardrobe :D

I think the picture above is obvious enough. =)

Dining table and chairs

Part of the kitchen (sorry pic isn't very nice. I was in a rush and also I'm not much of a photographer. >_<)

I didn't manage to take pictures of the laundry room and toilets. I'll probably do that some other time when I can. :)

Now as I said earlier, this apartment has rules.

Rule No. 1: Must keep the apartment clean and tidy.

Rule No. 2: Must not be too noisy.

Rule No. 3: Must not have scratches or any stains on the wall or any holes for that matter. (unless we really need to hang something on the wall, then can be considered but must inform the owner)

Rule No. 4: No visitors after 11.00pm unless there is a special reason for staying over late.

Rule No. 5: Gates will be closed at midnight. But if want to go back later, need to inform the guard.

Rule No. 6: Try not to have any very obvious looking scratches on the floor.

Yeap. Those are the rules. >_< Hopefully we won't break any of them.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~

Okay well I think most of you might have already seen these pictures on facebook but oh well, I haven't really gave my opinion about it. So here goes..

I quite like this hairstyle/haircut actually. BUT that is ONLY when it is still straight and nice from the temporary rebonding that the hairdresser did for me. It doesn't look very nice now :(

Camwhoring in Steph's room while Steph and Pam went to The Spring to buy something. I got bored of waiting for the internet to connect that time. x(

Later...
Let's just say, things got a little bit crazy XD

lol. They're both acting cute(and they are cute ;D) and I'm giving them a weird look. ( we took the pic in front of the mirror :D )

lalalalalalalalala~

*huge grin*

i adjusted my hair a little. making my face a bit mushroom shaped. T_T
*regrets adjusting hair*

:D these picture says it all.

I look emo here. Pam- SO CUTE la! Steph- ee.. fierce XD but still look so nice. ;)

OK, finish updating finally. My internet speed at home is really, REALLY bad. T.T

P.S.: I think I wanna go do rebonding for my hair too. It looks not as good as the first time after I washed my hair. :( It's just a thought. Don't know if I really will do that.

P.P.S: Managed to meet Clare for about 10 minutes like that before I go back. yays!! It was pure coincidence. Didn't know she's going to The Spring too. lol.

Tomorrow's the day

2009-07-26T23:09:00.000-07:00

I will be moving to The Apartment tomorrow.

Hopefully the place is done with the repairing, cleaning and etc.

Hopefully I won't be too busy or too "excited" about moving until I forget to take pictures before moving stuff into the apartment. :D

Hopefully I will remember to take pictures after I'm done with moving all the stuff into the apartment.

Oh it will be a tiring day tomorrow.

Que Sera Sera

2009-07-22T08:18:00.000-07:00

I got my results today.

It was as expected. I didn't do as well as I did in the 1st semester cos at least for 1st semester I got a Distinction.

I'm kinda disappointed with my O & M grade though. I spent most of my time studying for it till i disregard my FIS. I end up with just a Pass for O & M. I guess it's expected seeing that I did last minute studying for it too.

I won't give more details on my results. If you wanna know then ask me personally.

Got to pull up my socks for the coming new semester. No more playing. I will be more serious in studying this time. That is what I vow to do. It's time that I should fully accept that this is the course I'm stuck with. Love it, Hate it. I must do better, no matter what.

No use regretting now. No use crying over spilled milk. It won't change what has happened. Que Sera Sera, everyone, Que Sera Sera...

I'm a changed person now. Or at least that is what I hope.

Tomorrow will be a better day. That is what I hope too.

P.S: Oh I would also like to advise those students who are taking Diploma, to email the Uni NOW if you want to get your results earlier. I emailed the uni as soon as I read the announcement on the Blackboard (with the excuse saying that I'm not in Kuching to collect the results). I guess that is why I'm among the first few who got their results already. :S

Annoyed!

2009-07-19T08:37:00.000-07:00

Today I donated RM1 (yes, yes. I know it's not much but i'm giving how much I can donate that time.) to an elderly looking man. FYI, I'm not showing off that I donated ok. There's a reason why I'm writing about this. Read on and find out.

So, anyways... I was feeling nice that I did a little bit of Charity to an elderly person.

Next thing I know, the elderly man went into a coffee shop and bought a packet of CIGARETTE!! CIGARETTE!!?! what?! O__O O-kay. What is wrong with the whole picture here??? =__= Oh btw, just in case you're wondering, my RM1 didn't exactly contributed to that packet of Cigars that he bought. Cos some kind person gave him RM10.

It's a good thing that he's an elderly man. Cos otherwise, I would be super pissed already. I admit that I was pissed but, I was more towards feeling disappointed in him. =/ I know my RM1 isn't much but, come on, spend that whole RM11 on your medical bills or something. Instead of spending it on something that is life-threatening! Eg: Smoking. Actually, come to think of it, the elderly man don't look very ill, he just look so pitiful. He just had a couple of plasters sticked on his upper arm. I know, i know.. I don't know why I'm so gullible either. But I can't stand looking at people like that sometimes. They really look so pitiful. =(

Even so, why do I feel like I've been ripped off? Even though it's just RM1. Haih. Lesson learnt, the hard and hurtful way.

If you've known me well enough, I'm a true hater of cigarette smoke or any kind of smoke for that matter
( i loathe open burning too -_-)

So if you're a cigarette smoker, I would advise you to stay far away from me if you want to smoke k? *big smile*

Alarmed Look

2009-07-16T10:22:00.000-07:00

I just realised something.

In 6 days (yes, 6 days. It's actually already 17 July now.), I will face my Final Exams Results ( It'll be out on 22 July). *gulps*

T__________________________________T

I'm thinking negatively about my results now. And I hate that. I want to feel confident about how I did in my exams but I can't. I simply can't.

What if i fail 2 modules?! I think... I will cry non-stop that day. Trust me, I will. And then I will proceed to hate myself even more and then let the feeling of regret eat me alive. Like it always does but I seem to never learn from it anyways so wth, maybe I should not regret. -_- Yeah right. No matter what, the feeling of regret will always, always appear. =(

I'm not looking forward to my FER. But I'm anxious to know it too. *sigh* Should not last minute. Gah! Waaaaahhh why I always procrastinate one??!? Especially in studies!! Bad, Amanda. BAD!

~ end of ranting. ~

I want to read this book!!

2009-07-15T00:30:00.000-07:00

I can't wait to read it! If only Sibu/Kuching have it. *Sigh*

You can also read an excerpt of the book here. Gah! So tempted to read already. T_T

You can also watch a trailer of the book. So nice.. Even got a trailer of the book. Makes me want to read it even more!

Okay. back to facebook. Ugh, so bored..

New Hairdo Mania

2009-07-12T11:07:00.000-07:00

Ok, usually I don't camwhore one. Cos I'm not the type who camwhores. T_T I don't have enough self-esteem to camwhore lots.

But this time i have a good excuse and it's cos I'm on a mission to decide which hairstyle suits me. So I need opinions! Or ideas from you all too if you have any :D

Here are some pics the temporary straight hair that the hairdresser did for me 2 days ago. That time I just want to trim my hair a little. Then the hairdresser decided to straighten my hair a little. Haircut + temporary straight hair= RM5. lol, yes.. I know it's cheap.

ok picture is a bit dark so can't really see my hair

Here's one that shows most of my hair. (ignore my forced smile )

hehe just a random pic, showing off the little bit of 'wave' of my hair.

I look stupid and weird but I kinda like it cos my eyes looks smaller here. more Chinese look hahaha.. :P

This is how I look like with straight hair last time

McD's Ice-Cream! Yummy! :D lol this is me & steph in 2006

Raya Visit to My Fren Noorie's house =)
On my left is Ivy and on the right is Beatrice. Both are my good friends from Form 6 :D
Haih this pic is also known as Petronas Twin Towers. lol. look at the pic to try and understand why it is called that. x)

And just in case you forget how i look like with curly hair...

curly hair 1

curly hair 2

curly hair 3

Uh.. doesn't look very curly here :S camwhoring in hostel out of boredom

Another hairstyle I'm considering is short hair. I never have short hair since year 2002! That's a really long time. So it's extremely hard for me to decide whether I should cut my hair short or not. I'm thinking of the 'rihanna-bob' kinda shortness.

Hairstyle idea 1: Rebonding/straighten
Hairstyle idea 2: Curl it
Hairstyle idea 3: The short hair/Rihanna-bob
Hairstyle idea 4: Dye my hair! :D :D Don't think I will do this though. :P
Hairstyle idea 5: This space is reserved for ideas from you all :D

Okies, i better go and sleep now. I've been sleeping at 3 am almost everyday now. Which causes Acnes to form on my chin again T___T Acnes. Not pimples. It's HUGE and so painful. haiz.

Oh and I will try to post a picture of how my hair looks like when it's curly now tomorrow. After I wash and style it first. hee hee~ :)

Gilmore Girls

2009-07-08T11:37:00.000-07:00

I finally finished watching the very last episode of the season finale of Gilmore Girls.

I've learned a lot from this series. From I-must-study-hard-if-i-wanna-be-like-Rory Gilmore! to life-is-tough to wow-time really flies-doesn't it?. I better enjoy my University life to the fullest cause when I graduate, it's bye-bye Student World and hello Working World. I'm not looking forward to being an Accountant as you can see =/ But I better not say more, I'm not even an Accountant yet and I must not think negative. "Must study hard, must study hard." *chants to self*

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU'VE ALREADY WATCH SEASON 4 OF GILMORE GIRLS!

Rory is lucky in many ways. She get to study something that she truly has a passion for. She's going to be a journalist/reporter. :D That's... wow. I kinda envy her. She did get a bit lost for a while cos of something a stupid person said to her that she don't have IT to be a journalist. Well, it didn't matter what that person said cos in the end, she got right back on her feet and continued her pursue of achieving her dreams. :) I dare not say more in case any more spoilers comes out. I want to talk about the ending of the Season Finale( which is season 7 btw), but I don't want to be a spoiler and I know even though with that BIG warning sign above, one might accidentally scan the whole thing that I'm writting and 'accidentally' read the spoilers. LOL. I don't like spoilers and, so I don't want to be one. :)

I never thought that Gilmore Girls would be such a wonderful series. But it is. And I think you should all watch it if you've been given the chance to.

Growing up is part of life. No matter how tough it is, we all will grow up sometimes. The thought of it actually scares me a little, cos part of me don't want to grow up. That's probably because the more I grow up, there are a lot of things I have to think about (like my future etc), a lot more challenges appears and decisions gets tougher as I grow up. But we can't stop it; growing up I mean. We must learn to accept these challenges and face them. No matter how hard it is. *smirks* Easier said than done. But all it takes is just a little faith in yourselves to face those challenges. Sometimes it's better to accept those challenges rather than to frown at it, hate it, stab it with a knife etc.
--Gilmore Girls inspired me to write this--

I shall end this post with this not-so-lovely pic of rainbow that I took today. Bad photo-taking skill i have here as you can see. But it's the "best" picture I can take of it. So.. :)

Pamela Anak Pengarah

2009-07-06T09:12:00.000-07:00

Today is Pamela's Special Day!

Okay, Pam. Since it's your special day, I'm naming this blog post with your name. *grins*

Dear Pamela,

Happy
21st
Birthday,
Pamela !!!!
*attempts to sing B-day Song but failed. My throat's too dry*

I found this pic that I took of you quite long ago. I think it's nice so I post it here. lol.

Finally, you're 21.. Just like me. :P lol. Firstly, sorry I'm not there to celebrate your Birthday with you.. But... I think you'll have a lovely Birthday there though. I heard a few stuff from Sally about your B-day Surprise, and I must say, they planned it well. =D

I've known you for quite a while and I think you're definitely one of the most lovable person I've ever met. :D Extremely kind too. And you're so funny.. Never cease to make me laugh all the time. You're definitely one of a kind =)

Okies, that's all Pam.. Enjoy your 21st Birthday yea!! Bye & See ya soon~

Too lazy to think of a good title

2009-07-04T01:09:00.000-07:00

The Holidays are making me lazy.

So far all I've been doing - eat, watch Gilmore Girls Season 6, online at facebook, play The Movies, read novels and online again. Perhaps that is why we go to University/work. Otherwise, we become so lazy. I'm actually beginning to miss Uni again. Annnnnddddd I will regret those words as soon as i step into my third semester. lol.

Anyways, I finally watched Transformers 1! =D It was great! I LOVED it! The special effects and the actors and actress did well. I think Shia LaBeof was more funny in the first movie than the second one.

I also read:

"The Sky is falling! The Sky is falling!" - Chicken Little

~Quotes used by Sidney Sheldon in the book itself.~

I borrowed this book from Maureen. :D It's a great book by the late Sidney Sheldon. As usual, his books are full of suspense. I could not put the book down at all! I finished reading it in less than a day. Sidney Sheldon may have left this world, but he will never be forgotten. That's the amazing thing about being a writer. In a way, Sidney Sheldon still lives actually. He left a part of his soul in every little details that he wrote in his novels. (Those novels are hard work, seriously. ) One of the most imaginative writers all of time and he's definitely one of my favourite authors even though I don't mention him much. lol. I don't want to let out any spoilers so I won't say anything about the book except that it's worth it to buy. :)

Okay, back to the same circle of things to do during holidays. *sigh* bored.

Breaking Dawn

2009-07-01T11:04:00.000-07:00

I finally finish reading Breaking Dawn today!

After reading the final book of the Twilight Saga, I must say that I'm officially a fan of Twilight Saga. It's the best book among all four. :D Super Awesome! A must read!
