RaNdOm..

let's talk bout my daily routine..
after d final exams, my life revolves around my bed, tv n computer (full stop)...
sleeping takes up 1/2 of d day-not exaggerating, i can sleep anytime anywhere (on d couch, floor n my bed-terrible gal)..
ask me d plot of any drama series-everything is on my finger tips...
my day wouldnt b complete without onlining n doing all d usual stuff though i tend to get fed up at times..
-i m a time-waster, a valueless soul-


neva know freecell game can b so complex, i try a game everytime i on d comp sadly neva won b4-i'm trying 1 now..


congrats lydia teh!!! she is 1 of my favourite local writters.. she won The Star-Popular Readers’ Choice contest! her book entitiled Honk! If You’re Malaysian is the most popular non-fiction local book.. frends, u guys really shud read it-it's affordable n worth reading.. her 1st book too (Life's Like That) is good... *thumbs up*


i wud like to touch on d hottest issue in m'sia-our sexy school uniform-
when i 1st read it *shaking head*, saw d headlines n articles on d topic appearing again n again (feel like slapping d person who brought dis up) n den read some comments from d public suggesting to change d cloth/material of d white blouse (still acceptable) den they come out wif some crazy ideas-changing d blouse to darker colours- r they insane or brainless??? dis is malaysia not england or australia, we dun hav winter time.. anyway, decent dressing wont decrease or stop those cases from happening, mayb can cope wif dis matter if we udstd d mentality of a rapist by ripping his brain..

finally, pray for me, pray dat i'll b enlighten or get a vision of my future career.. pray dat i'll hear from d 2 institutions i prefer most..

turning off, bed time is here again zzzz..

Finding Fault..

finding whose fault???
myself!!!
i keep finding fault in myself.. looks like i shouldnt b resting nemore, having ntg to do can drive ppl insane..
know y i'm so grumpy??

becoz i havent been chatting-though i chat wif very few ppl but they cheer me up.. i can't sign in my msn for several days!!!!!
msn is driving me crazy...
1st i need to change my password becoz arghh long story.. it all happened becoz of d part time job (r.a) i engaged in, so till now it still automatically sign in, in cgr room which is in my faculty in ukm-notice how many times 'in' has occured!!!
there was oni 1 way to avoid dat from happening- changed my password; i did it n since then i hav difficulty signing into msn either home pc/laptop..

after sitting at home doing ntg except watching tv, i feel unproductive-mayb it's time to get a job... at d same time i wan a longer break.. i hate to ask dis ques: wat status am i?? fresh grad??? unemployed??

another thing which bother me most is:
do i fit in d corporate world or edu or writer type of job???
most of u will definately say edu, i myself tot so too but sadly i think i'm not up to d par...
failed to answer some very easy grammatical ques in my previous job interview, not oni dat, i watched spell it right contest n oh my god, i'm of d primary level.. 9 out of 10 words asked in secondary level-i dunno how to spell n forget bout d meaning as i neva heard of d words before.. pathetic!!! how can i call myself a language graduate??

Dr.M vs PM

Malaysia is 'trembling'-actually it's UMNO..
me, discussing politic- it's so unlike me...
however i've been reading newspaper a lot as dats my fav passtime for d time being, so it's hard for me not to skim through d very glaring issue..

of late, d country is shaken by dr.m decission.. i respected dr.m a lot coz he was d pm i was n am familiar wif n no doubt he had brought dis country to greater height.. a well-known n highly praised pm ard d world.. 1 thing i dun like was his decision to revert d edu system during d 80's from english to bm n den b4 he left d cabinet, change math n science to english which had created a big hu-ha in many places- citizens still debating after 5 years of implementation-*sigh*-
now his doing irritated me too:quiting d party n accusing d present pm for not achieving 2/3 majority in d general election..

bout d recent general election, wat's wrong wif BN cooperating wif opposition parties?? alrite, it may be a sign of the weakness of BN -from sm ppl's perspective, but for many i think we agreed dat it's a sign of the growing strength of democracy in our country..
nehow, dr.m, dun interfere, leave it to pak lah since he's in charge now.. giv him time to prove dat he too can manage d country well wif his own way..

end all racism, election result, judiciary matters.. raising unnecessary issues wud bring more harm den good.. at d mean time we shud b grateful dat malaysia is free from war & natural disaster.. i m aware dat cylone nargis n sichuan earthquake r disheartening, d victims suffer from d aftermath n d death toll i believe is still increasing.. notice today newspaper headline??? (parents holding portraits of their dead children) it was so heartbreaking!!!
hope to c a better tomorrow..

ok, my view on politics may b a little immature but dat's my stand..

Adventurous trip..

after resting for almost 5 days, wif energetic mind n soul-i'm ready to blog bout my trip to d legendary island.. it's exactly 1 week from d day we pushed off- where i remembered d 4 of us idiotically took bus, ferry and finally car where d time we spent on d road n sea was approx 10hours..

it was a stressful n tiring trip..
stressful becoz i was so bz reading d map, wondering whether we were on d right track, d gas level n d money i have..

was a challenging trip too coz 1 of us drove (no choice, coz teng siu n i dunno how to drive, shi jing dun really know how to drive auto car, so oni nguk fang)
*those who know her, u can imagine how stressful we were during d trip...

make d story short, we managed to make it to d infamous underwater world (disappointed-very little fish-no sharks, no starfish, but there were penguins, n lotsa nemo kinda fish regardless of size)..



den to gallery perdana (a museum to commemorate dr.m, so who likes to go to museums? raise ur hand)



stop by d bird park (just to buy chocolate-which was also d happiest moment in d trip- becoz d entrance fee was beyond our expectation n d tai ka jie insisted dat we shud hold to wat we said in d car-so, no birdy-watching)..
neway,look at d amount of chocolate i bought-heavenly choco!!! but mom gave some to my neighbour n her frends.



next stop, kolam air hangat (deep my feet into water in a pail from d hotspring well hoping it will cure d inflammation around my ankle but it didn't work coz it got itchy when i reached d hotel), people thought it was d heat from d sun which make d water hot but d truth is after i dip my hand into it, d water from d hotspring was hotter...



head to tanjung aru (a beautiful white sandy beach -saw in some brochure- but it was covered wif cow dung when we got there-wat an eyesore)



drove all d way back to d town n went to d landmark where d eagle was, took several pix n ran of due to d unbearable hot weather..



not to mention d food we ate, our 1st dinner after we settled down was horrible n pricey, now wif d rice crisis, they served us wif extremely big plate of rice n as predicted i ate 1/4 n d rest went to d rubish bin-if my mom was there, sure she'll said, u know how many ppl in africa got no food to eat ah! of coz i know but c for urself d rice..



lucky us t meet a uncle when we were asking for direction (ya, we asked for direction most of d time) n he recommended us a stall n dat was d tastiest n reasonable meal i ever had in langkawi -tqvm uncle- at least we got to eat sth we r familiar wif i.e sotong, lai liu ha, choi tam n soup..








d final nite in d hotel-i tried to get myself drunk.. haha, neva got drunk b4 as i cnt stand d bitterness of alcohol but i wan to know wat nonsense i wud b saying if i get drunk.. i did drink (whisky) after mixing wif coke-ntg happen, i was still very much awake.. surprisingly i can stand it.. look, how cute d miniatures were-all of them belong to shi jing..


d trip ended after i spent almost 410 ringgit... realize sth, we didnt visit some very famous tourist spot like mahsuri mausoleum, beras terbakar (burnt rice) n d cable car(was closed for upgrading purposes).. we can't afford to go island hopping, so didnt get to feed d eagle, go snorkelling etc etc.. *sigh* miss out a lot rite..

neway, i'm glad dat we were all safe n sound.. i just got darker!!!
there goes my graduation trip..

Happy Wesak Day

wesak day celebration in sitiawan budhist association was not extraordinary.. it was simple but meaningful one as every1 prayed for the quake victims and of coz all d donation went to them.. sadly, i didn't participate in mantra reciting coz i can oni recite 2 mantras -consider good enuff for a 'banana' as i deliberately memorize them-


buddha bathing corner, i did dis every year-dat's right, i went to temple once a year just to bath the buddha.. wat's d significant of it?? according to my mom, it's to purify our heart.. n there's a need for me to pray -i rarely pray, but when d world is not in a very good condition, i pray..
may buddha bless my family n frends wif good health n happiness..
may all d natural disasters stop occuring...
may d chinese discover more survivors under d rubble..
may the burmese, especially the cyclone victim receive more relief supplies..



No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

Flashback...

3 years in ukm was a memorable one..
i remember my 1st day here where i cried after my mom n dad left (just like kindergarten kid-shame on me)
not oni dat, i cried myself to sleep 5 days in d row coz i hav no roomie-i was all alone, walk alone, do almost everything alone whereas other ppl stick wif their roomie-i envy them so much n begun to think of my parents, home n sitiawan buddies, all d good things i had back home..

dis girl and her roomate appear, they said 'hi' n i stick wif them just like super glue whereva they go..



n den i become more contented when a girl enter my room and say "hi, i'm ur new roomate"
my respond was "i've been waiting for u for ages" (how relief i was dat time bcoz i will no longer b lonely).. so, i have lai chin, 2 years my senior as my roomate.. she took good care of me-buy me food when she was out, advise me, chat wif me when i was lonely..



not oni dat, her frends took good care of me too-how i wish i'll b a junior foreva n eva.. this group of leng lui jie jie is very nice n i miss them a lot..


den i grew closer to my floormates and blockmates.. they celebrated my 21st birthday which was also my 1st birthday party in ukm -not really a party but many ppl come so it's party rite? and it's my 1st birthday celebration after so many many many years (my last one was in 1994)


ignore d ugly attire i was wearing-it was out of a sudden, i wasn't informed bout d occasion, wear some ugly baggy high school club t-shirt.. i started to feel at home at dis time..

besides my floormates, i have my coursemates...


i was and m very close to alwani coz she stayed next door and also 1 of my coursemates.. she talked pretty loud and has very strong kedah accent where i get very used to it now-kinda weird now where she's not gonna b by my side nemore...

there were oni 55 of us-d BA ELS.. though i wasn't very close to each n every1 of them but at least i know their names and greet them all d time.. some were close to me n i apreciate all d little things they've done to me.. let's tok about my study, we were assigned on various kinds of assignments which i think were interesting-u wud neva know we r language students when u get to know d tasks we did.. we analysed advertisements, made posters, created a language game, analysed nutritional drinks sachet, analysed movies, acted several times, transcribed speeches to IPA symbols, did mock teaching, made websites..



oral communication class where we did a lot of speaking, presenting and acting..this was our 1st groupies, taken at d end of 1st sem..



literature class where we acted n was evaluated on our creativity.. i was a mom to 2 daughters but end up falling in-love wif my soon to b son-in-law.. ridiculous right, dats how we wan it to b (comical)



d literature class again, but dis time round is poster presentation-we produced 3 posters in 4 semesters (i shud b photoshop literate by now, unfortunately, i'm not- i must try to learn it, at least know those easier features...



dis is d most recent 1, a language game... it was my 1st time making a board game.. not easy but not dat difficult too coz it's for primary student.. hehe.. but i enjoy d process of making it..

i consider myself active in my residential hostel, i join dis n dat, yes hard work balancing studies n activities but these extra activities taught me a lot- yes i complain but i must admit, i will lose out more den i can imagine if i didnt join any..



n dis was d team i led... i was d president of my hostel choir club.. dis was a great bunch of juniors.. their task is to sing-as for me, teaching them songs was my assistant-chee sun's job n no doubt she did a great job sharing responsibility.. i'm not good in singing--a little shy but good in shouting.. hehe..

life moved on.. i met more ppl after joining a club-d chinese orchestra club... i learnt er hu.. i get to know lotsa professional n talented people.. neva know i'll b part of chinese orchestra.. not oni i manage to play er hu though not well, but participated in several event, watched a few performances etc etc..



i know it's blur-blame d photographer... but it's a memorable 1-my 1st performance-i remember i was super nervous!!



after several performances, a plan to organize a concert crop up n voila, it was successful.. we collaborated wif a secondary school in kajang where i got to make frends wif lotsa talented n boisterious bunch of kids..



it's time to say bye to our senior.. indicating dat, i m gonna leave soon too...

n so, we bid au revoir to these lovely seniors 1 by 1 during their graduation..



dis is xiu mei, no other senior is as caring n sweet as her.. she has d motherly features where she address herself as mama san.. but of coz i call her jie jie le, sound a bit old if i call her mummy..



my very last reunion dinner wif the members.. amazingly many ppl turned up, unlike previous years.. though it was noisy -karaoke- but i managed to spend some quality time wif d juniors..



finally, dis was my very last performance.. performing for my own hostel.. it was a big group.. juniors were very dedicated n i left ntg but memory in orchestra..

2 months plus before i left ukm, i join cgr as a research assistant n i get to know faeiz n nadia (so call our senior but naughtier den angie n i) not forgetting a bunch of 'crazy' lecturers.. thinking back, it was funny -can remember most of d moments spent in all d 3 workshops vividly.. their jokes, mr.aj's fav line "'Ur highness have arrived'", dr.ck's bubbly attitude n his eagerness to look at d water ferry, dr.bah's laughter which can b heard few miles away, dr.subakir's patient, dr.zarina n her toaster.. all d things dat happened in LSC was very memorable.. i'm such a idiot-shud hav joined d group earlier..

d 4-alwiz-together-crazy r.a... F & N (faiez & nadia), C & C (christina & christina a.k.a angie)-good combination isnt it -dats wat d lecturers hav came out wif.. a soft drink company..

that's about it.. d bits n pieces of my years in uni which left marks in my life, d number of frends i made is infinity, each n every1 of them is special, i will keep them in mind foreva *promise*... in a blink of eye, i'm no longer a student..

Farewell dears..

groupies b4 i balik kampung... final meeting wif my coursemates a.k.a my dears in bangi kopitiam.. as usual, chit-chatting, laughing loudly as if we own d place... who cares, as long as we r happy n it wud b d very last time.. i tot some1 will shed tears, cry cry, hug hug-so i avoid hugging them coz i know i will ter-cry so i just wave.. alwani, amirah, hazwani, angie, shahrul, william, ai ching, farah, sumie, wawa, & lydia-take good care of urself n i was glad to meet u guys up b4 we go our separate ways..

It's OVeR..

MaY BaBies
