They say if you want to learn to live happily, first you've got to learn how to love yourself to make yourself happy, because it's only you who can change the fate of your own life. Take control of your life and you'll learn to live life to the fullest.

This song was a little reminder of how to appreciate things that happened in my life. It has been long since i've updated my blog since alot of things have changed.

I've been a fan of Angela Aki since her songs are soothing and aspiring, and i find comfort in her song, just wanted to share with people out there who are down.

(English translation)

I leave the comfort zone of my house carrying my bag in both hands
Every morning I walk this lonely road (Um)

The sun has abandoned me and my presence grows dim
No one notices but my heart is crying

I want to be a shining person
So I close my eyes and imagine it
I’ll laugh a lot, fall in love
And surely be happy, so happy

Words have abandoned me, leaving me with thoughts I can’t express
No one can hear me but my heart is screaming out

I want to be a shining person
So I close my eyes and imagine it
I’ll laugh a lot, dream
And surely be happy, so happy

When you see your reflection in the mirror, do you hate it or love it?
(You gotta learn to love yourself)
Because the reflection in the mirror is what everyone else sees

I want to be a shining person so I close my eyes and imagine it

The shining person’s within me
I have to find out where she is
Don’t turn away from those clear eyes, don’t turn away

I believe the shining person is definitely within me
I’ll laugh a lot, dream, and surely be happy
Someday I’ll be one too

Play Hard Work Hard?

2010-03-13T15:53:00.002+08:00

Now, it's work hard and work harder. It's been really hectic of late, no thanks to the sudden increase of 25 basis points for BLR rate. People in the office are working as fast and as hard as they can. Seriously, it isn't easy when u have a bunch of customers and salesman calling u, seeing u and disturbing u when u're trying to get ur work done.

honestly, i really had moments of baning my head against the wall, and conk off without a care, just peace and silence. Sadly, that's not what i was paid to do anyway, yes, it's stressful, i hope next week is a better week and i could clear my outstanding work.

*i know every job has its crappy sides, but venting this out makes me feel better, i told myself to always breathe and take it as it comes, whether u like it or not, things that happen in the every work place, we have to face it*

Happy Chinese New Year

2010-02-13T11:03:00.002+08:00

The year of the Tiger is here, another 15 days of celebration to celebrate a new year. Time to rush and get things cleaned up to usher the new year, tiring yet it gets my mind off of work... which is nice, since I've been working close to a month now. As usual, working life is sucky than studying life. I do still miss my studying life, it's less stressful and more time to yourself, but what to do, people have to grow up, get out of their comfort zone and do things that is required to survive in this harsh world.

Anyway, just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year, stay healthy and may it be a prosperous new year for everyone!

2009-12-21T16:12:00.004+08:00

Bummer... Winter Solstice festival is like tomorrow... so i guess happy Winter Solstice to everyone!... then there's Christmas and then New Year... sure time flies by pretty quick... feeling damn old d *thinks positive.. i'm still young*

Bleh... i've been in a haze thinking whether i should be really wanting to work in audit area or should i just leave my choice open and also go for commercial. This has plagued me for a while now. Because, i am not sure whether i will like audit cause there's these pros and cons of great working experience, future employers will value u more and etc and then there's the thing about working like a cow/bull and u woun't know when will u see daylight ( i know i'm exagerating but u pretty much get a picture of an auditor's life).

Alot of ppl has been saying go audit first then only switch... but when i think about it... if u wanna gain valauable experience.. bigger firms would be better... so what happens if i've tried but was not given the chance to work in one of them... is commercial really isn't the way to go? Gah, up to this stage i'm so blur... i feel like i'm up against a crossroad but i dunno what i want to do anymore... my mind is blank... what should i do?

woo dusty...

2009-12-04T15:37:00.001+08:00

- Christmas is coming
- Christimas is coming
- Christmas is coming and where's my holiday?!
- feel like sleeping

pretty bad week for me =(

2009-10-22T20:39:00.002+08:00

Yea pretty bad week for me this week, i made stupid mistakes in my exam and i'm fearing whether i could actually pass the paper... even if i blame or scold myself for it, i can't do much about it. like they say it's over and done with. Just pray as i thought to myself. Life just goes on, it's not the end of the world, there are more worst case scenario happening around the world anyway.

You know just several days ago, last Sunday, was having a quiet evening dinner with my family and my father's friends. There was this guy who is a waiter, the way he behaved was definitely not that of the usual.. could see he was struggling a little especially when my father needed a pen, and he was the closest person my father could reach to get a pen.

Now, it didn't frighten me until we heard a scream. It was just a short scream but it definitely got everyones attention. As we watched on, he started holding his head as if he was in pain, and the next thing we know he just blank out and *thud* was the sound when his body drop onto the hard cement floor.

First thing i thought, he got an epilepsy a.k.a. "fit". Thank goodness there were people who knew what to do at the very least, and the co-workers all came to his aid since it wasn't the first time they encounter such thing. At least they're well prepared. Luckily that guy regain conciousness.

See, life still goes on after that. Interesting week considering it was a bumpy week for me, but heck, it's just part of life, and it just make me appreciate it a little more. (Gd luck to everyone in their exams! we all need that luck till next week =) )

2009-10-05T20:13:00.002+08:00

O_O how long has it been? lol

I haven't touch my blog for like a month plus. Been busy with my daily life and the appearance of my other family members in the house. As students would say "assignments, assignments and assignments again". Yea it's sucky when you have to finish it before due date because you'll be putting an all nighter the day before the due date.

Student life. Sometimes it's really awesome but then again, everyone has problems of their own too. Some say it's miserable, some say otherwise. Me? Well it's mix feelings.

I'll be on my way to expiration date on my student life. Which only means graduating soon. AWWWWW MAN! yea i dun get to enjoy those wonderful moments of the flexible time i get from studying and still enjoy a rather healthy social life. I dread starting my working life and be like every other adults who goes to WORK. To me it feels like youth is slowly sucking out of me.

People say it's life, and it's time to grow up and move forward to another stage....
4 words : It can be sucky...

2009-08-30T11:28:00.002+08:00

ahh... lately it's been raining in this part of the world, and i've been seeking comfort from a singer of whom i did talk about once, i've been listening to Angela Aki. (she's famous for the song 'Kiss me Goodbye' for final fantasy) Though she's a mix of japanese, italian, american, she's good in what she does, great piano playing, and her voice is great...

One word : Awesome!

What is it with the number 25 on our calendars?

2009-08-26T20:18:00.002+08:00

Seriously, eversince MJ died on the 25th June, one after another who are influential people just seems to die on the 25th on the following month.. what is it about the date that makes such thing happen? Geeez, is it some sort of a curse or what? I just find bizzare and rather disturbing, it's like your role model might die on that date... does anyone has an explanation for this? I guess maybe not, or maybe nature is telling us something or whatever, that none of us can fortell, but it would be interesting if someone could figure it out or guess it.

P/S: Malaysia is in recession now, seriously it's rather funny, cause from what i recall alot of other other countries are/getting out of recession, even our neighbouring Thailand is doing better than us. i wonder if some of us are living in the right country at times...

thank you!

2009-07-13T18:07:00.003+08:00

2009-06-10T18:35:00.003+08:00

Finally gotten a chance to taste Krispy Kremem doughnuts again! I had my very first Krispy Kreme sugar glazed doughnut when i was in Hong Kong 2-3 years ago, and after some time it finally opened in Time Square, and i finally bought it on this very day T_T *happy*

2009-06-01T21:49:00.002+08:00

I am damn lazy to blog at the moment, which explains the absence besides the past 1 month of exam blues

So, today is the release of my accounting subject's result, thank goodness i got through this stage, now waiting for my financial planning results *makes me wonder how they manage to mark the accounting theory paper so fast - heck they're way more efficient than some malaysians anyway*

BOoo! i'll just leave my blog as it is until i find something interesting to talk about, other than that i've been indulging myself with computer games - yes i'm a freaking lazy bum whose hibernating at home, who cares, it's my life anyway

Till then, happy holidays to some of us, and good luck for those who are about to sit for their exams...

the feared flu has 'entered the building'

2009-05-15T16:20:00.001+08:00

Malaysia confirms first H1N1 flu case
UPDATED (http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/26611-report-malaysia-confirms-first-h1n1-flu-case-)

KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 — Malaysia has reported its first influenza A(H1N1) case involving a student who returned from the United States two days ago.

This was confirmed by Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai today.

“The student is now quarantined at the Sungai Buloh Hospital,” he told Bernama from London.

“The student returned to Malaysia on May 13 and the next day, he sought treatment when he felt unwell. The test confirmed that he has the H1N1 virus.”

Liow, enroute to Geneva, Switzerland to attend the World Health Organisation (WHO) General Assembly, was on transit in London.

He said health personnel were in the midst of tracking down all passengers on the student's flight and those who had come into contact with him since his return.

“This is urgent and all have to work together to prevent the spread of the disease in this country. We have initiated various preventive measures and the health department is working hard on the ground,” he said.

Liow also advised the public to be on high alert and immediately seek treatment if they feel unwell.

“The details of this first case will be given by the Health Ministry at a press conference at 4pm today,” he added. — Bernama

D) What exam? Dunno, go in and 'tembak' answers that seem logical enough
E) You're screwed, no hope liao

Honestly, how do u all study at times like these

trials and errors of life?

2009-01-18T16:44:00.002+08:00

It's been the 2nd week into my semester, as usual there are some new faces that i have never seen, new subjects which i have no clue about, and then there's new assignments to attend to. Yes, it the beginning of when "all hell breaks lose" .. althought there's been some miscomunication here and there this week , but things gradually are solved. Since people do say that "for every problem, there are solutions for it".

So basically, that isn't the big hoo ha for me this week, well the thing that really hit me was i actually fell down the stair 2 days ago, which is of course unexpected. Although i dun go around telling people about my injury, and i do not want pity, it's just that falling down the stairs just like that really did frighten me.

Lucky for me, i did not suffer any bleeding injury, but bruises are there to remind me that due to my "carelessness" i had fallen down the stairs. Ok, the only reason i said carelessness in inverted comma is because i didn't actually slip of a banana skin and fell, actually my legs gave way, it's like Benjamin Button trying to take his first step at walking (if you had watched the movie that is), my legs became really weak (i myself dunno why it happened) , couldn't stand properly, and of all places it had to be near the stairs. SO there i go tumbling down the stairs.

Laugh if you want to, but falling down that stairs made me wonder, "was i going to bleed especially right after i felt the impact of knocking my head", or "will i be really ok after this fall"

Sure it sounds silly, but to me whether it's at home or elsewhere, ppl do die due to accidental death, sometimes something that we least expect, it's like as Dato' Sheikh Muszaphar's brother who had bang the wall... and what happened to him? he died for crying out loud.

It really made me to be more careful , and also it's a reminder life is short, it's actually very easy to die, but living is really hard, was it worth it to die just like that, surely no, but sumtimes accidental death cannot be avoided, but at least live the life you want, something you woun't regret, live life to the fullest as they say.

"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly." ~ Gautama Siddhartha

*small note : Happy Birthday Marianne! =)

Happy New Year (2009)

2009-01-06T10:45:00.002+08:00

I haven't said anything on New Year's Day, although late , would still like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I know people would make new year resolutions, and yea i should have one too right? Hmm, i'm not going to say it but i'm pretty sure it's almost the same as last year cause i dun really make new year resolutions, if it just come and hits me, i will just go do it then.

Speaking of the new year, it does make us reminisce the past, the silly things we've done, the enjoyable experience we had with friends and family, the ups and downs of life and others. Surely, we would learn from them, whether it's past mistakes or new experiences, afterall that's what makes life interesting. Now, to me, i've surely enjoyed some good things, although it wasn't the best of the best years i had, but it was enjoyable these past 1 year. I'd thank my friends and family for that and also to new friends that i've made.

Looking into the present and the future, let us hope for a brighter future, a more fruitful year (well at least we'd hope the economy wouldn't be so badly hit), and be optimistic about the future. Heck, next year is not any easier to get through, it's going to be challenging like any other year - expect the unexpected =)

Wishing everyone all the best for the year 2009!

*ooo Dido's new album ain't bad XD, love the song "quiet times" *

2008-12-25T12:52:00.001+08:00

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year =)

Time sure flies when u're busy throughout the year XD.. have a wonderful holiday people!

Madagascar 2 & Bolt

2008-12-09T21:20:00.003+08:00

just another week as it seems, well me and my cousins were kinda bored.. so hey why not i thought... just joined my cousins to catch some movies since they were eager to get out of their house

and the movie theatre i went

i was actually wanting to watch twilight instead of the animated movies, but well i left the choice to my younger cousin since she does deserve a little treat after getting 7A's for her UPSR. Heck... i didn't even pay for the tickets lol, well it sorta like my aunty's treat since i was "babysitting" my 2 cousins.

First up,it was "Bolt".. yes that doggy that thinks he has superpowers and he is the so called super hero. It isn't exactly super entertaining, it was actually ok. I think practically throughout the movie, all i could think was "omg, the dog is DAMN CUTE" ... especially the scene where he had to go beg for food, and miss kitty had to teach him to act cute.. it was adorable i had to admit =)

After that, we had lunch and headed out for our second movie which is "Madagascar 2" ... now this movie was more entertaining and i have to admit time went by pretty quickly. This show was alot more fun than Bolt, and i enjoyed it. Well, a dancing lion, a lovesick giraffe, a hippo that is searching for love and a zibra who wants to be unique doesn't seem to be in place in Africa but funniest parts weren't actually to these four animals... in my opinion i thought the penguins were funnier + the crazy old grandma. So it was a show still worth watching =D

it's been sometime that i actually spend most of time in a day watching movies, so this was something fun for me for a day...afterall how often do u get to do such thing...

isn't he cute?

random post

2008-11-21T21:51:00.002+08:00

results are out today.. which was nerve racking at the first moment... but soon became a joyous occasion. I'm so glad that i have managed to be consistent throughout my years in RMIT program ... and thank goodness i didn't fail my audit paper... but yet i feel abit of dissapoinment whereby i did not manage to improve my score (e.g. from credits to distincions) heck it does affect my GPA scores... sighs*

the only reason why i care about my GPA scores is because i didn't want to be someone who couldn't make it to the big 4 firms later on... well yes i'm just aiming high.. and yes i wanted to be with the "top of the cream"

Pressure will definitely be there when u're with the "cream" ... but why not? i have been with people that were so much better than me that some don't even need to work so hard to get to where they are, while i admit am slow in learning had to work 2 times harder than them... but the most refreshing part of it is u will actually learn something from them... well meeting the right people is also important, they will be the ones who will actually help u when u're in trouble... which in my lifetime.. am glad i have met a few.

Well Life Goes ON! =)

"Play hard, Work hard"

P/S : about L4D .... i managed to get the game last monday... haha took my time to go to KL and bought it at Sg Wang, n thanks to Wai Leng for accompanying me down =).. hope she get the internship at BDO hehe... the game is awesome btw

L4D

2008-11-13T20:29:00.007+08:00

omg! it's coming out just next week... and i'm fully aware my results will be out like next week or sooner or later....

Read the reviews, they were all freaking great i tell you!!
i want the game so badly!!! *yes i know it's another FPS game again and it's full of gore... well it's Valve's fault for making addictive games...

well, i didn't pre-order the game since i've read in one of the blogs that the price they sell online is way more expensive than what would be sold in the computer shops here.. so i guess i might just buy it over the counter instead... but maybe i'll have to wait a few days later after the release on Nov 18..... darn it!!!

i just can't wait to get my hands on the game!! AHHHH!!!

*tried the demo for the game... it was freaking AWESOME!!! AHHH what an andrenaline rush.. happy*

well.. exam today was kinda crappy and stressful... everyone had the "dying" faces on in the morning.... the storm wasn't even over after that audit paper!! there were black clouds hanging over some of us..... the questions were horrying!!! *prays - hope dun fail*

Price theory was fine i guess.... well at least the tips given were accurate.... that at least made me abit more relieved after the earlier event....

Angela Aki - Tegami ~to my 15 year old self~

2008-09-26T12:52:00.001+08:00

lyric translation:
Dear you,
Who’s reading this letter
Where are you and what are you doing now?

For me who’s 15 years old
There are seeds of worries I can’t tell anyone

If it’s a letter addressed to my future self,
Surely I can confide truely to myself

Now, it seems that I’m about to be defeated and cry
For someone who’s seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?
This one-and-only heart has been broken so many times
In the midst of this pain, I live the present

Dear you,
Thank you
I have something to tell the 15-year-old you

If you continue asking what and where you should be going
You’ll be able to see the answer

The rough seas of youth may be tough
But row your boat of dreams on
Towards the shores of tomorrow

Now, please don’t be defeated and please don’t shed a tear
During these times when you’re seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice
For me as an adult, there are sleepless nights when I’m hurt
But I’m living the bittersweet present

There’s meaning to everything in life
So build your dreams without fear
Keep on believing

Seems like I’m about to be defeated and cry
For someone who’s seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?

Please don’t be defeated and please don’t shed a tear
During these times when you’re seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice

No matter era we’re in
There’s no running away from sorrow
So show your smile, and go on living the present
Go on living the present

Dear you,
Who’s reading this letter
I wish you happiness

Thoughts about my Life

2008-09-16T20:37:00.002+08:00

I'm starting to think about the things i want to achieve at this point in time and i wonder

What was it that i really wanted to do now?

With all the assignments, summer school enrolment, the scholarship thing goin on... I have come to a point..... what the hell am i doing with all these thing at the end?

Sparing a penny for a thought

heck... i only wanted a degree so i could get a step further in improving myself

Time's like this... sometimes one just have to go back to their roots and know their main objective

I have to keep reminding myself... "Dun Fail! keep going on and never look back!"

and that is all i need to motivate myself to keep going in this busy life for now =)

HappyDays...!

2008-08-28T15:00:00.004+08:00

Look at the world differently and yet it's still amazing

Has the world really became so small?

Friends who i knew from different part of the world

Friends i knew that may not be the friends who knew my other friends

But heck? Love makes the world goes round i guess

Soon, friends became lovers.... although it's not surprising... but heck the number is increasing on my friend's list

Anyway, wishing them all the best ;)

2008-08-05T18:48:00.003+08:00

Finally gotten myself a new monitor after some agonizing months of having a CRT monitor that was giving headaches due to its flickering screen.

And Since last weekend was PC-Fair week, of course i took the chance of telling my parents that i needed a monitor, no doubt , i have been eyeing one model and i am now therefore satisfied that i finally get my hands on it

I am now a new proud owner of the Samsung 2253bw that i have. Heck, it wasn't easy getting this monitor..... due to a problem that when i first bought it at lowyat (yes lowyat, at the end decided to go there instead =P heck it was a Pc-Fair deal hahaha) , i found my monitor to have scratch like marks on my screen, but it was the inner layer of the screen.... so it was undoubtly not my fault... any Tom Dick or Harry would know that new things that have been just bought would be treated with care....

and i mistakenly plug the cable to the wrong port for my monitor (that wasted alot of time searching high and low where did i go wrong... feel damn stupid okay)

So, at the end even if monitor works but that scratch mark was irritating u know... so next day (Sunday) go all the way to lowyat again to replace it.... omg.. my weekend was tiring... just bringing back and forth the monitor alone was tiring enough.... gah! summore got Price Theory exam... had to study... anyway am happy now

Price Theory exam over.... got a new monitor..... so happy for now la hehe

"Jack ~ it's 1-P and not P-1" ahahhaha... dun la so emo

Alan~

2008-08-01T16:28:00.003+08:00

What is this post about actually? hmm

Well, just wanted to write about a singer that i've been listening to since last year. She's still new though, but in Japan she is getting popular although she isn't japanese... ahah another reason to be proud of being chinese (?)

Heck, i've come to know her cause i listen to japanese songs, and i've got my own sources to get hold japanese songs... although i'm not always updated to all the new songs, but well i do follow abit here and there.... her japanese song title "Sakura Modern" was the one that i listen to often and i like it cause it combines both traditional and modern instruments into the song that makes it a song that i enjoy listening

Well, there is now a Chinese version for that song, it's called "三生石,三生路" - (well if u want literal translation hor, it like 3 life stone, 3 life road - ok it sounds way too weird.... well language is funny own its own)

people call her Alan ( as in A-Lan ;阿蘭 or 阿兰) ... well dun ask me why name a beautiful person that way.... heck.. it's her name anyway, ask the father..... Alan Dawazhuom, that her full name btw

-she's half Tibetan and half Chinese

-She's 21, (her b'thday just passed 25/07)

-She plays the chinese traditional musical instrument, er hu

-She graduated from the China National Chinese Opera and Dance Drama Company (which they say is very prestigious)

-and yea she sang the song for the movie Red Cliff

on the last note for the this post, i really think she talented lor... nowadays not much people enjoys traditional musical instrument.... so why not try listening to her songs =)

p/s: if u want the Red Cliff song, msg me =P (dun heboh heboh banyak pls... i dun want kena tangkap)

The Dark Knight

2008-07-24T23:13:00.005+08:00

One of the most anticipated film of the year, was The Dark Knight, since it's been days since it was released.... everyone just seem to be praising the film, from friends , they said it was a good show, and Heath Ledger did an amazing performance before he R.I.P. .... *sad that he has gone away though

So, if everyone is so excited about the film, there shouldn't be any reason that i should not catch it right? Well, i just got back home from watching the movie.... and below are my review (it's only my opinion ok?! dun come and flame at me) oh... there's abit of spoilers too, read it at ur own "risk"

my verdict would be:

- The show is not ur typical Batman show like in the past where it more like Batman always saves the day, this 1 is more emotionally inclined and mentally challenging... so guess there's more in depth about the story....yet a little messy though, kind of complicated

- Heath Ledger well, he was quite good at potraying the Joker *spoiler inserted*:

=> especially when he dressed up as a nurse and he walks out of the hospital and he keeps pressing the detonator while looking back or when he sounded so freaking gay when he said that batman was the one that completes him

So *applause to Heath* for doing a good job

- everyone turns into a villian? i dunno?!!!! it's like even batman himself is chased down by the cops, conclusion , everyone is EVIL

-To me, the movie isn't the best movie i've seen, heck i will be waiting to watch "Meet Dave" - came out as a commercial.... Eddie Murphy was funny XD (i know it's out of topic hahah)

-I think the Joker is the smartest that i've seen for Batman movies

- 2 face was not pleasant to look at, i wonder why it was rated U, when clearly the movie was quite violant

- I think hor.... the moral of the story is there's always opportunity cost when we make a decision on something.... cause i think in the whole show they like keep saying something like this la

Conclusion?

Not that exciting as i thought it would be, maybe except that his motorbike is way cooler than his bat mobile lol!! and Bruce gets to drive in a Lamborghini and he crashes it... hmm what a pity for the car... heck Bruce Wayne is just too freaking rich la....

I give it a 3/5 la....

So, what do u think about the movie?

Congratz to my bro!

2008-07-14T19:06:00.003+08:00

Got back from Singapore this morning at 1a.m. due to my brother's graduation at about 3p.m.

Well it wasn't the most grandest graduation ceremony in the whole wide world, but honestly who cares? families gather around just to see their kids graduate and wearing the rob and the mortar...

Heck, at least they gave us an air-conditioned room and comefortable seats to watch the event... so it was basically pretty simple.

Didn't take much pics b'cause there were just too many crowd and my brother doesn't fancy taking photos la

Anyway congrats to him la!

Love the cup btw =D

July babies?

2008-07-07T20:23:00.002+08:00

was talking to my friends today while having a break from class.. and somehow we ended up talking about those born in July... just a short coversation before we change another subject... and what a coincidence, my parents talked about that when my father was reading a newspaper, and there was a list of those born in July...

Listening to both of this conversation, it sounded like July babies, i mean quite a number of them are like damn "sui" 1 lor

and i mean it, they can be considered

"SUI"

but i can't understand hor, aren't cancerians (most mentioned was like cancerians =_=|||) suppose to be compationate, motherly and the nice 1? how come these few are like evil.... it's damn sad ok

what the hell happened to humanity? stupid greediness

i'm not offended or what since i'm a cancerian too, but it just somewhat a concern, and yea i know there are like alot of "sui yan" out there with different horoscopes... it just somewhat alarming about the things people do these days, it's like morality does not exist anymore, is that the state of the human population?

Sometimes it's just best to go back to our roots and learn about ourselves more, we should by right be looking after each other and not otherwise...

yea..more food XD

2008-07-02T13:48:00.003+08:00

food is glorious
oh what a joy
food makes people to be together
food makes the world go round
food is a vital part of our life
how can we hate food?
I, for sure am loving it...!
funny... i was looking for something to eat at home... so i was right in front of the fridge and searching for food to eat... well there was quite a few veges here and there... and i first thought... y not just stir fry some and that will be my lunch.... so gladly i took out (read below at ur own discretion pls... i know there are people who doesn't like veges at all)
celery, sweet potatoe leaves, onions, garlic, oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, chilly....
but something struck me.. i still had some pasta... so i thought what the heck... have it with pasta la..
something like this came out:

heck, it was satisfying since it's a meal that i cook for myself... why not try it urself..?

dinner at Sushi Zanmai

2008-06-28T00:24:00.007+08:00

Had dinner at Sushi Zanmai, Sunway Pyramid with Brandon, Marianne, Jack, Yee Vonn and Jin Li. Place was not bad since it was my first time there, food is not bad, price is reasonable, except maybe waiting for Marianne's order la. I think we order alot of salmon related dishes, that i dun even know which is which... confusing leh... sorry i'm no expert in their menu unlike Ms. Chung.

Anyway, chatted there for a while before leaving to Asia Cafe for a drink at about 10pm. From there, continue talking lor.... nothing much la.... just another day out hanging out with friends... well it was a lovely evening la, with good friends like these it's hard to come by =)

Anyway, some pics of the food (didn't take much cause of bad lighting) :

sushi - with soft shell crab

sushi - with prawns

dessert - waffer with a thin crust of chocolate & vanila ice cream

Registration and Vivo

2008-06-26T16:13:00.004+08:00

Just registered for my course this coming semester today.

Well, wasn't as pack as i have expected considering it took me an hour the last time to get my registration done... so was grateful for that today that it only took 15 minutes and there was no que, although some of us were around college for a while since her majesty, Jin Li came 45 minutes late from the appointed time lol! *no offence to u Jin Li =P*

Well, was pretty happy that this time around , i dun have to spend more money on taxis since i have 2 days off and my classes starts from morning and ends till evening, but not to be happy just yet, since this sem's subjects aren't exactly easy, it's gonna be a tough road ahead, but that's just part of life, and a life lesson should be learnt through experience, nevertheless gotta take it as it comes and face it... well i will try to work harder lah

Anyway, after that we had lunch at Vivo, at the Curve
First time sit in Jack's car, aiyah his driving not bad liao lor... ahahhaha
Yee Vonn gave him an 8/10 for his driving, ahahha quite good already

Pics of the food~

Jack's dessert which came first before his main course

Orangezz's cheese baked rice

my "vegetarian + oily" linguine =_=

Jin Li's baked cheese pasta

Marianne a.k.a. wangi's lovely sandwich, which Jack ate most of her french fries XD

Jack's spaghetti with meatballs

Arthur's carbonara

Brandon's meal = Chicken + rice (sorry i can't remember what is it called)

Well, that's all for now

--=+peace+=--

What i'm thinking

2008-06-19T09:54:00.002+08:00

Life is unfair
That's why we hope for better

As long as we're here on earth
we can keep hoping for dreams that may or may not happen
but if we are determined and positive
hope may just come around the corner
Dun be blinded by the negativity of things in life
look back and see what u're really into
afterall u may not be as bad as 1/3 of the world's population are going through
and yet those people hope more than you do
if we could only think and look ahead
we can see that every problem can be solved
it is a matter of how determined we are
therefore there is hope...

all out!

2008-06-11T08:30:00.002+08:00

-this was actually taken from japanpop.com

opinion : i think she's talented.... at first i didn't quite like it (saw it on the anime.. was doing my catch up on animes >_>) probably cause when the song started it sounded very haunting? but it's actually not bad... maybe it's not for ppl who doesn't like gothic/haunting stuff la... but heck she's only 19! and she plays a freaking cello! well i dun really see alot of ppl in the japanese music industry plays the cello... so i guess she could be unique + she has the package in terms of look and all.... so i guess i have to agree that she will have a bright future... =D

p/s: try watching the anime... ahahah... the art is gorgeous... but like too much love problems? @_@ which i feel it's kinda weird(?) considering i was hoping more action about human vs. vampires... oh well at least the characters are nice to look haha XD

-and finally today's law paper.. it was much easier thant he past year questions we did la... thank goodness for it.. at least it didn't make my day any worst... i thank you for the blessing ... but the paper isn't 100% easy, it was OK .... but dammit it la... where got enought time to write so many things..

Lottery win Scam

2008-05-07T09:12:00.005+08:00

i found this in my junk mail (yea not in my inbox)

2 mails indicating i have won some lottery from the UK ( really AMUSING HOR *insert sarcasm)

i just dun understand why are there still people doing this stupid scam? very nice meh? if u want money just go and work for it la! at least the money u get isn't something u get out of bad faith 1... cilaka betul...

geez.... feel like playing with those ppl about the lottery by emailing that person... but oh well.. i've got exam coming so can't play =(

L : Change the World?

2008-04-05T19:32:00.010+08:00

Went to watch L:Change the world after my law class (yea law class on Saturday again)

But before that we went for lunch at the Curve to eat at Paddington's before heading to cineleisure for the movie..

Jacq's meal

Eu Wei's a.k.a. Hollow pancake ahahah

Jin Li's black(or was it blue?lol!) monty

Kelly's Barito Lookalike pancake dish

Yee Vonn's pancake dish with cheese, egg, bake beans...etc

my meal for the day at Peddington's with sausage,peperoni,mushrooms and pancake

Jack's sausages + hashbrowns ( I know Eu Wei was like teasing his sausages) ahaha

Brandon and Arthur's love Hamburger (=P just joking ahhaha - they just shared that burger together)

the guys (i dunno what they were doing.. sedang buat lawak)

and the girls =D

Verdict??

Well, actually i didn't know about the director behind the first and the second movie on Death Note was going to do the sequel with L's : change the world movie... lol never go and check ahahahah so i didn't realize it came out on Feb the 9th this year in Japan, even our neighbouring country (Singapore) also get to watch this movie much earlier than us.. BOOHOO FOR US ON THAT!

But that's besides the point, overall the movie was ok... it was more on the emotional side of the story.... there wasn't much of those action pack, mystery solving story that it used to have when Kira was alive thought... (that's the sad part la)

But the show actually made L a more lovable character ahahah.... with his weird gestures and behaviour.. nobody can seem to hate him afterall. Anyway this show was more like saving people from a biochemical weapon a.k.a. some sort of virus that spreads easily and kills their victim quite easily.. so through out the show u will be seeing loads of people screaming in pain and their eyes all oozes with blood beside any part of their people that has like pimple bursting out + blood and their mouth foaming with blood..... which... i find it abit hilarious ahahhahah, not only that looking at L babysitting for the first time was abit out of the story but entertaining.

Conclusion?
L's character like that has been said in the past.. was executed really well, every bit that Kenichi Matsuyama has done to potray the character was really detailed and very good... ahahha.. the movie is kinda out of topic from what Death Note was originally meant for... but it isn't all that bad... but there's a little bit of action in the movie just not that much.... at least u get to see L jumping on to the plane ahahahah...

Overall?
3/5 - not bad

holiday.. how i want to have it now

2008-03-19T21:15:00.003+08:00

Election 2008

2008-03-09T10:37:00.000+08:00

http://zique.blogsome.com/2008/03/09/results-from-the-election/

wow, y'terday's election was shocking yet interesting....... BN has really lose loads of seats this time around..... DAP had won more than they have expected... even PAS did superbly well in Kelantan and the other states e.g. Kedah. PKR won 29 seats in total, looks like Anuar will be laughing at BN (most likely at Abdullah Badawi)... it certainly shocks everyone, considering the fact that states that are most developed all went into the hands of opposition party... tough luck for BN

There's definitely going to be alot of changes this time.. hopefully is for the better and not for the worst =)

Lamborghini?

2008-03-08T13:24:00.002+08:00

Nice! Just saw it outside my house, infront of my neighbour's house, apparently, he brought back a Lamborghini for his kids to see and get a ride on it, ahaha since we all know how much these sports car cost...

He's a luxury car dealer... so it's actually not an everyday sight to see him bringing back Ferrari , Lamborghini or whatever sports car are there in the market.. considering he always drive back Mercedez cars.... so it's nice to see a change maybe?

Heck, it's freaking cool wei! nice car right infront of your door step like... commoners like us could only dream of having luxuries items ahhahaa...

boohoo!

2008-03-07T23:38:00.000+08:00

Election is just tomorow.. so i would say Happy Voting people! Vote for the party/representatives that you think is right for the country and don't just vote blindly... ahahha... well it's true.. we don't want a leader who sucks leading our country... *sounds like Kingston afraid of us for being future leaders.. ahahha!

Ehh.. bleh... sien.. damn lazy to study.......... but exams just round the corner ... haiz* have to study.. and think positive......
