Cravings

to a special person

2010-10-01T21:09:00.000+08:00

Paulette Yeoh (1948-2010)

The chocolate cake was glazed with a vivid dark brown, enriched with a moist texture and a prodigious taste. As soon as it came out of the oven, curious schnozes crowded the dining table, expressing their cravings as they flattered the amazing recipe by this lady they known endearingly as Auntie Paulette.

I was fortunate to be able to befriend Paulette but it was indeed a very interesting chronology. I was 17 and it was a few days shy from my SPM trial examinations. Instead of revising through my books, I played Scrabble online on ISC (Internet Scrabble Club) till past midnight.

One night, I was playing with a lady nicknamed ‘yin’ and as we were playing, she introduced herself and we became ‘online Scrabble friends’. I would play Scrabble with her till past midnight and she would unequivocally command me to go to bed and I would oblige but instead of sleeping, I would continue observing Scrabble games online disregarding her plea until my mother echoed the exact same words from her room next door.

Known for her chattiness and friendliness, she often shared numerous tales and stories of so many people who imprinted great memories in her life. She would share most of her stories with me especially about youngsters whom she likes and was proud of. Among those I had heard of then were Ong Suanne and Alastair Richards, World Youth Scrabble Championship 2009 champion and runner-up.

For Suanne, Paulette is a vivacious, bubbly lady with lots of hugs and lots of cupcakes to give away. “She was someone I'd known since I was about 6, and someone who welcomed me into the Scrabble scene, sitting me on her knee during games and always being very encouraging. Scrabble to her was much more than just a game, and I think, as much as she enjoyed the game itself, she always valued the friendships that came along with it. She had the amazing ability to make any opponent feel at home even if he or she was a stranger, and above all, I think most of us will remember the natural warmth that she exuded both across the scrabble board and off the scrabble board,” quipped Suanne.

Paulette would also attend big scale Scrabble tournaments such as the King’s Cup in Bangkok and the ever-growing Causeway Scrabble Challenge in Johor.

The Scrabble gypsy, Dianne Ward from Australia shared her story when she first played Paulette in Bangkok several years ago. “She kept telling me she wasn’t any good while she proceeded to play 4 bingoes against me,” reminisced Dianne. It was the game where Paulette played a nine-letter word, CAREGIVER that was one of her proudest finds she shared with me.

She also received plagues for her undying support from 2000 to 2004 from the organizers of the Equatorial Scrabble Competition that was held in Cameron Highlands. Other recipients include fellow scrabble players; Nigel Richards, Jocelyn Lor and Yeap Gim Sai.

Yeap Gim Sai on the other hand regards Paulette as her best friend! Though they were different; Paulette was the out-going and adventurous while Yeap was the quiet conservative one; they complement each other. “We had great times together. She would hug me when we meet and swing me off my feet!”, recalled Yeap.

Paulette and Yeap are also avid treasure hunters, taking part in big competitions such as the Kiwanis Hunt and theSun Motor Hunt to name a few, with rather commendable results. I could also recall how amazing Paulette was with solving crossword puzzles and deciphering tricky treasure hunts questions.

Despite all the excitements, Paulette was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago and was told that she had 6 months left to live. Her uplifting spirit kept her going and she believed in just enjoying herself until the end is inevitable.

The cancer was her least concern as she kept enjoying herself doing things she loved. Her daughter, Lim Sha-lyn also said, “She was never bothered with anything, even about going for checkups. She put the cancer far in the back of her mind and never quite thought about it. All she wanted to do was to make a difference to other people’s life.”

She appeared energetic and cheerful each time I met her. When asked about her secret, she mentioned a homemade tea she brewed daily using a type of leafy-plant locally called daun pecah beling or Strobilanthes Crispus she sun-dried to give her the extra strength.

Her passion for little children also brought her to Pattaya, Thailand as a volunteer for children victims of the infamous 26.12.2004 tsunami that left many young kids orphaned.

She shared that the experience received was phenomenally breathtaking and explained how every young boy and girl and infants fawned and crawled to her lap with ease and joy as if there was a special aura radiating from her face.

The happiness she bore was indescribable and I believe that was one of her proudest moment in life, as she shared the story not once, but several times to her friends and families.

Besides, she spent a lot of her time volunteering in the pediatric wards in Penang General Hospital where she would play with the kids, cheered them up and even made balloon sculptures for them. She once told me that she wanted to do something meaningful in her life.

Early this year, Paulette was warded into the hospital, as her condition was deteriorating. She would unceasingly greet everyone with a cheerful smile whenever she could. Though in pain, she made everyone around her felt comfortable.

Sha-lyn also recollected that Paulette did not want pessimists to visit her in the hospital ward. “She told me that anyone who is going to cry or be negative and treat her like an invalid to not visit her as she did not want bad aura to be around the ward,” said Sha-lyn.

She would deemed herself luckier than many and stayed positive until the end.

In memorial of her and to commemorate her love and dedication in the game that was introduced to her by her late father when she was a young girl, the Paulette Yeoh Memorial Scrabble Tournament will be held on the 9^th and 10^th October 2010 in City Bayview Hotel, Pulau Pinang. It was one of her wish before she passed away as Scrabble meant a lot to her.

The Penang Scrabble Club and Paulette’s family will be organizing the tournament and are inviting everyone who had directly or indirectly known her to be part of this eventful tournament.

As her presence will be sorely missed by many, she left a note saying:

“Paulette bids a fond farewell to beloved family and friends who made her life meaningful….” – Paulette Yeoh (1948-2010)

I wanna hold your hand

2010-07-04T01:46:00.002+08:00

"I wanna hold your hand... I wanna hold your hand... I wanna hold your hand...

Oh, please say to me, you'll let me be your man..."

As cheesy it may sound, Beatles wrote some of the world's best songs, everlasting and exudes emotions and 50 years from the year it was written, the gist of the song still applies to the modern world - though inweaved with the bitter of rage and the sweet of love.

I used to believe that love is defined by how much you want to see that person, the frequency and urgency of the ever-inadequate wanting; how strong the heart beats *feels heart rate* when you see that person; the pulsation of nerves developed by the excitement and maybe with a tinge of happiness; or the immense feeling of wilderness; feeling like the world's is empty without that person beside you.

Now all these proved to be the old-school way of thinking - back when we were still in green or blue altered pants or those tacky blue pinafores matched with faded white shirts and fugly tailored blazers and sometimes come with those canvas belts and a school badge!

As we grew older, we tend to have a whole new mindset. Past experiences made us more aware and cautious about each and every step we take. The second we decide to step into a new plateau, the very second you stop and ponder the appropriative section of the decision. That is why decision making is always hard! And with the power of being fickle and indecisive, it's all a mess-up tremor.

My point is, going through all these random write-ups, we as utopiasts are certainly in the direction where we are making our own life complicated and miserable in search of a perfect lifestyle because of our surrounding upbringing. The current situation where it forces our lives to difficult phases does help us in maturing our mind but it does harm if we do not have the power to take control.

If we could take a step back and breathe 3 times....

just go to be now! you're talking nonsense!

ssshhHH!!!

2010-06-18T00:51:00.003+08:00

You know what they say about keeping quiet, they are just jealous that they can't stop talking and you can!

Part of my nature of keeping really quiet and speechless, I realised that it's very meditative and soothing. However, this gesture could stir some thoughts of you being cocky, unfriendly, unapproachable or unmannered. Whew! Being silent is a crime indeed; unless you're in the library or in the court!

I don't know what people may think of me when I just want to be extremely quiet and not speak but just smile. Sometimes, when someone talks to me; trying to fit "Hey! How are you long time no see how you have been its been a while since we talked are you married with kids or no kids and yes I am married now for 3 months and my wife is stunning!" in a 10 seconds conversation, I just smile and walked away. Call me arrogant then, I don't care. At least I smiled! :)

Some people try too hard to please someone in a conversation too. They started talking about things and as the conversation runs drier and blander, they will start boasting and bragging about their goods whilst trying their very best to sweep the bad under the carpet as quickly without anyone noticing. In my humble mind, I would rather they just shut up! Am I right or right?

Soon, people would realise that you don't need to talk in order to please someone. It takes a simple step but millions of muscles to work a smile!

They say you have to have spices to life. Take yourself back to the 90s when the Spice Girls were all fired up with 'Spice Up Your Life'. So what are these spices in life and how do you define them in your own interpretation? Is it the entertaining et painful dramas, the backstabbing gossips, the colourful bunch of people around you or the conflicts and never-ending dilemmas that revolve around your life?

*feed me your thoughts*

----------------------------

Two weeks since my immediate termination of employment, I was able to recapture and recollect my true self and desires. I believe that being engulfed by bad energy everyday and all the emotions or opinions kept inside you would not help in developing good creative mindset. Choked? Encaged? It's something you got to experience to know what it feels.

H : I want you to design something entertainment for this floor. The colour scheme is Four Seasons - Green is Spring, Blue is Winter, Yellow is Summer and Orange is Summer. I want you to make the space more entertainment in your interpretation.

*designed and sketched 3 ideas*

H : Er.. Don't take the design so literal. You can refer to some books and get ideas.

*continued researching, designed and sketched 7 proposals*

H : I am not crazy about the idea. It's doesn't give me the Nature feeling.

Me : What Nature feeling? I thought it's Entertainment?

H : I told you the colour scheme is Four Seasons right? Then the concept is Nature la! Four Seasons means nature ma.. Why you didn't think out of the box?

* H starts showing some ideas from books and roughly sketched a column with LEAVES on the top to hide the flood lights * <-- Taada! 'Thinking out of the box'

Now stop asking why I quit my job.

I had made several bad and unwise decisions. I called them bad, rotten experiences but these experience nurtured me with maturity and smacked me with that big fat wake up call right in the face!; I must not succumb to an easy way out.

----------------------------

Malacca. Family. Home-cooked Food. What else could I ask for? The departure of several family members last month made me appreciate the companionship of loved ones. I admit that my mind is a spinning gasing! I hardly think about the positive consequences but the negatives. That's bad ain't it?

Two weeks to the big Scrabble tourney, I have been studying night and day; learning new words and their anagrams. It is not easy I must say and each time a friend ask what do I study, I would answer 'words!' How do I study words? Don't know how but I think after playing Scrabble for 5 years, my brain had been programmed to absorb words in a way beyond explanation.

*back to words*

M E B A C K

2009-10-30T10:58:00.003+08:00

After 2 months of void, I'm b a c k!

I'll find inspiration to write when I have time to do so.

In short, I realised that I really love writing and would probably want to take up a course to further enhance this liking. I don't know, you tell me.. no?

*back to work*

checked checked checked!

2009-09-04T14:45:00.001+08:00

This shows how I multitasked on my laptop most of my free time..

MSN .... checked!

SKYPE .... checked!

Catchup TV .... checked!

Pokemon (I know right?!) .... checked

Facebook .... checked!

Scrabble .... checked!

Call me lifeless but this is what I do.. I feel time is running too fast! TOO fast..

*bored*

kudos to the blind

MINES MENSA Scrabble Challenge exhibited one of the most awesome sight of Scrabble. I must applaud their effort in bringing in the blind community into the Scrabble scene. Nevertheless, these visually-impaired people showed that their imperfection does not limit their ability to nurture their passion in Scrabble. Some of these participants flew all the way from Sabah and Sarawak just to play in this 3-game tournament because not many competitions actually pay emphasis on them.

I finished my first game quite fast. I walked to the Blind Section and was in plain awe and mesmerization! I was clearly lost in words. The way they touch and feel the board, the tiles and form words without even looking; depending solely on their sense of touch and memory to place the tiles at the correct spot without missing any Power Spots and capitalising every spot they could. My heart sank when I see them play. I have to say that all this while, I never, NEVER expected that Scrabble could be played by a blind person. I was proved wrong.

This event made me think that all these while, we've taken things for granted without us realising what lucky bitches we are. Eventhough they are impaired visually or audibly or verbally, their determination to pursue a dream or be good at something surpasses all mockery and negativity thrown at them for the past years.

I'm so gonna organize a tournament for the blind!

Encouragement is just sweet!

chuck who?

2009-08-12T01:12:00.006+08:00

My friend, Seth said I reminded him of Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl! I was like who the hell or what the heck is chuck? He asked me to google.com Chuck Bass and bam!; photos of this chap came out. I don't know. I don't see much similarities or should I rephrase; I don't see similarities anyhow between him and I. Seriously, is there any?

*yae.. Chuck Bass.. yawn*

gone too soon

Yasmin Ahmad is undeniably the ONE and only ONE Malaysian filmmaker who excites me everytime she comes out with a new movie. It's one of those must-do things on the list. I must say that her passing was a little too soon and will stir many emotions among youngsters especially those who started watching Sepet during their teenage years. The local stereotypes she portrayed in all her movies highlights all the little minute details we often overlook in our daily lives. Typical controversial issues of race, religion, taboos, superficials and lifestyles; Yasmin never ceases to instill humour in her work.

I still remember the first time I saw Sepet, I fell in love. It was the last copy in the DVD shop that time and I hastily grabbed that very last one and proceed to the cashier. Then, Gubra came along entailed by one of my favourite, Mukhsin. Mukhsin showed a total different cast altogether and a whole different storyline compared to Sepet and Gubra. Mukhsin is one of the most sincere and pure movie about a first-love story of two young children. Yasmin also proved that one don't need popular and renowned actors or actresses to sellout a movie. It is the inlying message which makes the movie so special and memorable! Jason and Orked running in the rain towards the busstop with pink plastic bags covering their heads - you do remember that don't you? and how Orked irked when she saw a bunch of char-siew (bbq pork) in the kopitiam. And the guy with the handphone who stood still and stared at the phone each time it rang but not answering his calls until sounded?

I must say that when Muallaf was introduced by Yasmin in the newspapers, I was thrilled; but it was disappointing and nettlesome that the Censorship Board of Malaysia banned the movie in our country, what shallow stupidity! It's always the issues of religion and race that these bastards couldn't stop getting rid of magnificient homegrown talents. What's wrong with the equality of religion? No offence but I still don't understand why these so called 'intellects' have to put their religion a note higher than other religions. I mean, we all share the benefits of religious acts. I hope Muallaf DVD is still selling in Singapore. I had been looking high and low for that movie!

... *breathe* Now, the most recent show, Talentime was another case of interracialism and conservatism. I have had enjoyed all of Yasmin Ahmad's movies except for Rabun and Muallaf and I was actually waiting for a new one to hit the silverscreen but God must have loved her more. She left us with inspiration and her solid principles on Malaysian stereotypes and misbeliefs, she showed us what we often not see and neglect - love, family, ignorance, arrogance and so much more. We'll miss you dearly...

"...it is the imperfections that made them perfect." Yasmin Ahmad (1958-2009)

Weekend

2009-07-13T01:43:00.002+08:00

It had been a loOoOooong weekend!

Savouring my few last days before my official working date starts, I'm truly stretching every moment to the maximum extend it could get. Friday was potluck BBQ at Leonard's and my first time attending CG where I joined the rest watching a movie called 'End of Spears'; a based-on-true-story movie about an aboriginal tribe in Ecuador called the Waodanis and the real story behind changing the aboriginal community lifestyle with help from the white people. Slept early on Friday midnight but Saturday was mean!

Joan came over to accompany me as both of us weren't doing anything. We went to church together and that was when we decided to tag along Joweng and Derek's plan to hit on the club that night! Had dinner with some church friends and headed back home to get all primp and 'improperly' for the night scene. Club was crazily loaded with a huge crowd. Squeezing through the throng was insane and I was really surprised with multitude of fanatics on the dancefloor. Drenched in buckets of perspiration, we left all wet and wore.

Slept at 4.30 a.m. Arise at 8.15 a.m.

It's Family Day! It was so early in the morning blest with the coldest morning dew ever, I didn't want to be awake but...!! Got to church, did all the oh-god-I'm-such-a-good-sales-person duties and got back at 4pm after a brief tea-time. Thinking that the night might be stale, me and Joan planned a movie together. And the 4 of us; again, watched Obsessed. I think it was a great show! Perfect acting by Ali Larter and the best script for Beyonce. Despite the flaws in the end, the movie was thrilling and got me up the seats! :P

Had a good walk back home. A great weekend accomplished!

*yay!*

sharing's caring?

2009-07-09T14:47:00.003+08:00

from my 'lapsap' kitchen...

Stir-fried Black Pepper Beef and Broccoli w Spaghetti

stuff you need..
Spaghetti (desirable portion)
any type of pasta (penne, linguine,fusili) would be great substitutes

Generous amount of beef cuts
Marinade:
3 tbsp abalone sauce
1 tbsp coarse black pepper
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 tbsp yellow mustard

1 cup broccoli (blanched)
1 cup oyster mushroom
1 plum-size onion (sliced)
butterhead leaves (sliced)

1. Pour in 2 tbsp of cooking oil into hot wok. Brown sliced onions before adding in marinaded beef. Continue frying until beef cuts are half-cooked. Add in more black pepper if you prefer the dish to be zesty.
2. Add in oyster mushroom and 2 tbsp of water. Slowdown the fire and cook until mushrooms soften. Oyster mushrooms will emit juice which will be the base of the sauce
3. Add in 1tbsp of abalone sauce if the sauce is not tasty enough. Fold in spaghetti, broccoli and sliced butterhead.
4. Stir ingredients for roughly 10-15 seconds and it is ready to be served.

*good luck!*

I love J s

2009-07-09T00:20:00.001+08:00

It is really nice to have friends around. You know, leisure drinks, hanging out, chit chatting.. but something is bother me. My inability to converse very well with people I enjoy being with. It is not that I did not try hard enough. I just don't know why I will be struggling to find a topic or subject matter to discuss about. I tried... to impress... I guess I failed?

Anyways, it is the 8th day of the month. Was supposed to start work but working days are voided due to an inevitable circumstance. I'm basically bored to death now! The cyber-pages are getting limited. My regular visits to facebook.com and yahoo.com are of menacing amount of 'refresh' clicks in hope for the latest updates or a new email. That's basically how screwed my life is right now!

A random thought; the people I love most now have initials starting with J s! :P

*Unscrew screwd!*

cheers!!

2009-07-05T19:22:00.002+08:00

There you go, my weekend spent watching some school kids flipping, performing stunts and bending their limbs as if there ligaments are made of rubber. I got up early today feeling exuberant. There and then, I decided to go to Cheer 2009 in Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil. Yes, this is my first cheer event, how inapt! Adrian was already there early supporting his sister's team, the Blitzers who triumphantly emerged as champion this year with a 39 points difference from the 1st runner-up team, Shirtlift who was defending champion. Man, they were good! As soon as I spotted Ashley (Adrian's sister), my eyes are all on her. Flexible and talented young lady, good dancer just like her brother. How envious I was! I couldn't even reach my toes standing up!

I was there to see Jun's performance too! He will be representing Malaysia for an international championship in Australia next week. It's part of his team's preparation to perform as a boost of confidence but one can never run away from mishaps! It was great pity when one of their flyers injured herself badly while doing a stunt. I've heard of her, seen her even especially in TV ads and commercials. Remember the girl in the Yakult ad? The girl who was at the forefront, taking off the helmet and drank Yakult towards the end? And the girl from the Silky Girl advertisement? Anyway, she did a stunt, landed on her head and as she was trying to support herself up with her arms, one of the arm twisted and she shreiked in pain. She was carried to the side, out of the performance ring while being attended by several officials. Jun then told me that she dislocated her arm and could not perform for the Australia stint! The team needs to look for substitute in a week and yada yada... I hope everything will be alright~

Now, that's real bad luck.

*hungers*

me books?

2009-07-04T15:08:00.003+08:00

It was a little dubious for me to be a fan of books since I publicly declared my contempt for books because they put me to sleep easily; you know, it's like when you open the book and there, pixie dusts puff onto your face and poof! the next thing I know, I'm already slumbering. It's sad but I am trying real hard. I managed to finish Mark Leyner & Billy Goldberg's 'Why Do Men Have Nipples?' last year. It was not so bad a book actually. Currently still stuck with their second book, 'Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex?' Okay, what is the book all about? It explains to you biological stuff in the mythical, logical, beliefs and taboos contexts. Questions such as, 'Why do women pee more than men?' , 'Why do I sneeze when I pluck my eyebrows?' , and laughable issues like 'Can you breastfeed with fake boobs?'. However, I think it might appear a lil' too scientific for chic-flic lovers.

Anyways, I had lunch with a friend outside Atria and dropped by at the Levis' and Dockers' warehouse sales in Atria. Albeit good offers were given, nothing there were to die for. We proceeded to a floor lower to the book fair! I was a bit sceptical about books. But! yes BUT! I spent more than an hour there (surprisingly) looking for books that attracts me. Besides, they were very very cheap! To be honest, I was searching for Scrabble dictionaries at first but there were none. Then I continue searching, this time for design books but most of them were too historical; Rembrant, van Gogh, Vermeer, Bernini and the rest of the gang. Art history and me parted since the end of Critical Studies 1 during Year 1. So, the next best thing is to look for nice frontcovers or book titles. (I know I'm such a holy terror!) ....s...e...a...r...c....h.... Tadaa! I ended up with Richard Montanari's the Skin Gods. I think I'll start to pick up reading all over again. Friends of mine are all surprised because I'm a Scrabble player but I don't like reading. Ironical?

We spent 52.oorm for 6 books. Now that's a good bargain isn't it?

*back to work*

Chick'n with the Chicks

2009-07-03T02:51:00.002+08:00

The sudden craving started due to a light dinner I had quite early tonight. It's sinful I know, but I had 2 pieces of KFC Fried Chicken and it's Fiery Crunch! Sophie had 2 pieces too while ShuYin had 1. It's so sedap I swear! :P

I'm contented and tired and very sleepy. Jo's back! Joan's going HK today~ Jun's busy. Sigh... Jamie's in Thailand! but Jo's back! yay!

*I'm too sleepy I think!*

after so long....

2009-07-01T02:28:00.002+08:00

*this picture landed me the job! must give credit*

It's been a while since I've written something about yours truly albeit trying to let this blog die off due to the hot soup stir few months back.

A friend told me that if you pour hot Chinese tea into those cute little cups you find in kopitiam/dimsum shops, and you see that the tea leaves floats in the tea, it brings good luck to the drinker. I wonder if it's true. However, I would say I have been enjoying every part of my daily routinal life since moving out from Desa Pesona. Several people I would miss but memories, bitter or sweet will remain perpetually.

And I had decided to continue writing again. I'll start work soon, very soon! I wonder if I would have the time to sit and write but I don't mind weekly updates. Guessed Facebook took over the need to blog as all the updates of all your friends are available daily, better still, hourly! Still figuring the speciality of Twitter but Facebook still stands #1 in my list!

I've been enjoying all my time with friends - gatherings, sharing sessions, sports, food hunting and indulging, clubs, Scrabble rendezvous, etc. Guessed now it's time to move on to a new phase in life. Wish me all the best? YES?

*crossed fingers*

I wonder...

2009-04-18T17:57:00.002+08:00

I was just wondering why I don't get PASSERSBY last time but recently? The suddenness of immense people coming into my blog is crazy! Should I seek help from nuffnang.com? I should blog more often.. a lot of random readers lecturing me about law! wow..

It's nature for TRUE friends to stand up for TRUE friends. Some bitches still don't know the real meaning of the term bitch! If these so-called-bitches keep on reacting like this, they'll be bitches for good! So what if my bestie is the Queen of all Bitches? I still love her!

Go on... KMA!!!

p/s : The pot IS calling the kettle black!

eerie storie..

2009-04-18T01:47:00.002+08:00

I finally went to Cell Group after so long!! Hm.. This time it was social night with the rest at Cornelia's place. I prepared my signature egg and peanut butter sandwich spread and bought two types of cold meat, romaine and a loaf of whole meal with mustard sauce! haha.. It was a sumptuous Easter party cum dinner thingy. LOL...

After meals, we had some Taboo games and had lotsa fun.. But the climax of CG today was sharing ghost stories and experiences among the rest. Cornelia's story was the most moving one, sharing how she went through so much in Australia when she was all alone with no one to help her dealing with those spirits. To think about it, mine is just a minor thing. I hope I don't bump into one anytime soon. Regardless, had a good laugh sharing the most embarassing moments and the most stupid moments, etc..

Contemplating to whether sleepover at Mel's place or not.. So tempting..

p/s : Fried Assam Laksa for lunch tomorrow, no?

Oh Happy Day...

2009-04-17T12:31:00.002+08:00

Sister Act brought us closer to the true essence of Gospel and Soul. It made me smile listening to Oh Happy Day. So I went Google.com and searched for some smiley faces and I found cute ones like these! The 3rd one was tagged "the fucking smiling face!" LOLz.. wonder what it means! It just reminds me of the Easter Eggs they painted. Esp Adelyn's constipated egg. LOL..

Last night's turmoil was a true stand up action and I'm glad I'm part of it. It's great humor don't you think so? I laughed throughout the whole debating session. Puny constructed, flimsy snakey, gay together! WTF! hmm.. I can tell you they're hella bunch of crafty people. :) Nevertheless.. it's part and parcel of life when arguments happened and people misunderstand your action as something otherwise. Point is, you chose the wrong person to mess up with. I'm no meek person, that I know!

p/s : outing.. yay! adios amigos! Oh Happy Day....

I see......

2009-04-16T17:37:00.002+08:00

I am the blacksheep now. Since the scapegoat was warned not to be the noble messenger, I've not been told things I don't know. And the peculiar awkwardness at home has unfold itself. In my point of view, it's good to let others know what the real issues are. There's no point hiding it from the other parties as what I am saying is the truth. Call me irresponsible, call me rude, call me naive, call me intolerable. Spilled beans, who bothers picking them up? If you have things to clarify with me, come forward and look into my eyes and blurt out your disputes. Don't show me faces and pretend nothing happened.

Wow, it seems like my blog is the only way for me to communicate to some people I see everyday. Hm.. how humourous can that be? Probably, I'm just being cynical~

I try to let go of some issues I kept for quite some time. And when I do, it's really when I cannot stand anymore and it's normally eruptive and explosively a big bad bang! Now, the question is; should I apologise? *shaking my head*

The feeling of being left out in every thing is something nightmarish you can never imagine. Bickering and whispering without you being able to participate worries me sometimes. I think I need to be adapted to these sort of situations as I'll be living alone soon. Wondering if it's a good or bad thing. *I wonder*

These days I could see shadows in the house. I don't know if my spirit and faith is at the lowest level or it's just my imagination. But I know it's starting to be more frequent. I don't like it. I pray everything would be okay again. I'm having insomnia again this time. And I'm still procrastinating my work. I hate myself for this! Urgh!

p/s : Where are my friends when I need them the most? Did I waste my 20 years of life making friends who only find you when they need you?

Peculiar...

2009-04-15T14:53:00.001+08:00

It's so WEIRD!

Weird Indeed!

p/s : Egg Hunt was good! :)

what coincidence....

2009-04-14T12:26:00.002+08:00

I had a good sleep last night. Went to my cousin's newly renovated apartment. Had a nice chat, nice new mattress! It dissolves all conniption I was dealing with earlier. My working drawing isn't that bad after all. I'm satisfied! That should now stop me from working even more. But probably one day rest? or two, no?

I was browsing through some facebook application when I bumped into this! what coincidence.. the selection of friends by the facebook website application was as if it was pre-planned. All are I-won't-trade-them-for-all-treasure-of-the-earth friends! :) Glad I noticed it, it shows I have extra time to look into details~ LOL

Now when I'm feeling much better, my tummy aches! hmm.. Stooppid! Just when I thought my throat is fine enough to wack Spicy food, this tummy buat hal pulak!

The house atmosphere's not right. I think someone in the house might have read my blog. Cani's has been asking my blog address out of a sudden. I sensed something fishy. Argh! who bothers? Do I look like I care? , no?

p/s : meeting Joan and Sharon, the two cha bohs for lunch at PicaD! chao!

stop being a bitch!

2009-04-12T12:38:00.002+08:00

This week had been pretty rough for me. I need anger management classes for goodness sake. It seems like the world is so against me that everything that I do and decided on turned their backs on me! I apologize if I lashed out at you at times when I'm really at the verge of explosion because I really didn't mean to. My emotions got me going the wrong way. I shall explain....

#1 Persons
I hate how people can be so annoying and not understanding in terms of privacy, sharing and togetherness. In a household, things that are meant for sharing should be used and utilised equally. Who cares if you bloody need to use it? Wait for your turn! Don't show me bitch faces and all those fucking facial expressions just because you need to use it urgently! I bloody waited almost everyday and when I got to use it at last, I got the blame for interrupting your perfect plans~ Do I look like I care? You just justify my decision to move out of this place!

I hate being in large groups of massive numbers. Food are meant to be enjoyed and eaten with joy and contention. When the group seems to be like a pasar malam; yes, you're so getting on my nerves! What's the point joining tables after tables when we still communicate, talk, eat and settle the bills differently? And for goodness sake, grow up and know what you're ordering and be alert! Don't let the poor waiter stand there like a fool repeating your bloody order again and again and you not responding to the waiters' call. I just sometimes don't get it. I might be the youngest there but I really hate noises and immense density of crowds. It really turns me off and agitates my boiling point!

I have a room but I don't have a room. I don't know. These days seemed to me as if I am renting the living room and the toilet. I get annoyed when I have to change in the toilet when I need to go out. My jeans get wet!!! I am annoyed when I couldn't undress myself in my own rented room because there's a girl there. Well, sometimes I just don't care. I hate it when I need to scavenge for clothes like a blind man in the dark because the other party is sleeping. And mind you, my room is very very dark at all times! Somehow, I just justified my point getting a new place! I hope I can just pack and leave now! Sick and tired of this household! It's killing me!

I got up today morning with a huge bang of sounds. Thinking it was already noon, I got up to realise it's just 11am. I went to brush my teeth and check on the washing machine to find out there's someone else using it. Been a week since I wanted to wash my clothes and it's always being used and my clothes are piling up like a mountain! Last night after mass and dinner, I came back with the washing machine in used till 2.30am! and all the water left to drink was at at least 80C!! Some bitch just being so inconsiderate, filling all her 2L bottles full and leave it on the kitchen tabletop beside the boiling kettle. Such a bitch, she leave only hot hot water in the jars. Being thirsty, I can't help it but to drink hot water. How great~ *I j-u-s-t-b-u-r-n-e-d-m-y-s-e-l-f! bitch!*

#2 CAD
I am really sick and tired of my work. As far as I know I can complete them, they are being so annoying; hindering me from doing things I wanted to do. I just can't wait to get over all these nonsense. I can sigh all I want but things have to be completed on time! And all is left is a little more perseverence, a little more hardwork and that little bit of push in the ass to stay focused!

#3 Facial Hair!
It's growing rapid rapid rapid-LY again!!! arghh!! I need to shave everyday again! Aku benci! Why must the threading shop closed down!? stooopid!!!

# Myself
When I get angry, it shows very obviously and people know! And I tend to hurt people. Esp with my big fat mouth! That is why lesson learnt, and I tend to be quiet when I am pissed off! When I do so, people kept asking me what's wrong and it annoys me even more! Can't you bloody see my bloody face how fucking pissed I am with you!? Now don't get me started!

I know this post is pretty much throwing tantrum, but at least I am throwing it on my keyboard and not you! I am taught to be much more reserved in terms of my temper. Been there done that, I'd flipped over tables, throw chairs, bang the door, break things, slap some bitches faces, punch someone in the face~ God knows what I might do next. So fuck off!

*I'm only refering this post to certain people who have twitched my anger button on. Be gone! You're all in my I-hate-you-even-more-now list! God bless have a nice day!*

i h-e-a-r-t the new look!

2009-04-05T10:12:00.002+08:00

After several weeks of construction works, and us being in the "Crypt" (basement) for mass, we finally moved back into the church. It looks magnificent! I love it!!!

I'm still procrastinating my work very much that it's not even 5% complete. I'm so dead! I am bored and sick of this project! It feels like aeons!!!!!!

p/s : Can I go out please....

30.03.2009

2009-03-31T15:41:00.003+08:00

My day yesterday started off after a satisfying 12-hour sleep. After tutorials, I and the 3 smurfs went to Old Town Kopitiam in BU8 for some toasts. Sent Linda home, went to pick up Joan and headed to Yvonne's place to view a room as I was suddenly told that I might need to move out by this weekend! Omgosh.. hushHUSH!

After viewing the room (it's seriously too small for me), we went to Melinda's place for makan! She cooked to feed the army, believe me! But it was indulgence! The food is fantastic~ And to top the icing on the cake, she baked me soft cookies as a birthday "cake". Actually, there's not enough ingredients to bake a cake.. thus the cookie story~ I'm really happy!! Good food, good companion, good hawt! topics, great friends~ What else could I ask for?

I'll let the pictures do the talking..

The oversize cookie for me! yumm...

My Birthday Cookie!

The sauces - pickles, mustard, bbq..

Stir-fry sausages with ham and portobello mushrooms

Baked chicken wings! Aku suka!!!

Baked potatoes wtih oregano! Heaven~

Mini pizzas..

My Godsis and I

Joan and Milky~ muaahahhaa! :X

Henry joined us after we finished the dinner and they opened another bottle of wine. I shall leave those naughty stuffs we talked about when they got tipsy! hm.. :D It was a great dinner and more shall come! :) Thanks Mel! I lophe you!!!!! Thanks Joan and Henry!! I lophe you too!!! :)

p/s : I'm a happy kid! I declare 31.03.09 a do-no-work DAY!

toils and snares

2009-03-28T04:10:00.002+08:00

WARNING! DO NOT ENLARGE THE PICTURES you wont like it

Taa Daa!! Here's the final result of the model I struggled with for two sleepless nights. Been procrastinating a lot and very lazy; thus the need to work my ass off non stop and messed up the entire living hall arose and it drew unnecessary attention which uneased me! Nevermind.. I'm proud of my work although it is not quite done yet. But, who cares! At least mine's satisfactorily okay.

This week had been rock 'n' roll for me! There were times when I'm happy. vice versa. I hate talks. Especially unnecessary, boring, annoying, repetitive, winding, 'cheong hei', experience based, mumbling, lame, cold jokes, irrelevant TALKS! It's such a waste of time and it's just meaningless. end I just got back from a movie - Taken. It's actually not bad! Next would be Talentime, Shopaholic ya'll! and... let's see... Wolverine anyone?

It's 4.30 a.m but I am not feeling sleepy. Maybe it is due to my sleeping pattern which changes my lifestyle and not helping my health at all. I don't feel as healthy and fit like last time. Probably I'm just getting older~ ahh~ sigh

I'm so excited! I got my birthday bonus!! Y-A-Y. I can't wait for tomorrow! I need to buy banana tomorrow!

p/s : Someone wake me up early before the market closes!

fuh.. what a weekend

2009-03-16T02:29:00.002+08:00

Before I start putting my thoughts down, allow me to sigh deeply~ *SIGH*

It has been a really 'colourful' weekend void of assignments. I swear I'll feel the regret not touching any of my assignments this weekend. And interim crit is just in 5 days time. I'm so screwed! I really don't know what I am doing right now. What comes in my mind is fantasizing, friends, food, more food and fun. It's bad how the F word could be so poisonous. I made new friends this weekend. Really nice ones. :) I'm happy about that.

Many thoughts came in. I see different sides of human being I never expect to see. I'm beginning to see drastic changes in some people which appears disturbing to me. I am trying to blend all these emotions together and I suddenly felt awkward. There's just something funny bothering me right now. Probably due to my sleeping pattern which have not been very consistent this weekend. 5am on both days!;got up after 12pm. Well, and sometimes talks goes on and on and on, you didn't realise your time is being stolen little by little.

I should sometimes realise that I am just a student. I have limitations in many things! Why wouldn't I learn my lesson. I had my haircut today and I love it! Lawrrence had his and he look so much younger and now tagged : pretty boy! muahaha...

Now back to assignments mode, I hope I will resist temptations and all lures. I think I can manage. Toodles!

p/s : Can someone just tell someone to cut thou hair? I tak boleh tahan!

Hell ya I'm typing again!

Take one step at a time... That's the way it should be!

Today (Sunday) witnessed the change in Henry's appearance with his new haircut! Man! The hairstylist did a great job changing his hairstyle whilst taking away a few years from his appearance besides adding a zest of freshness and youthfulness to his face!

"...OMG! I like it!! I like it!!.... "

Guessed Henry is a happy kid today! :)

As for me, I'm feeling very cold right now. Feeling that a fever is coming to hit my by storm! Trying to get inspiration to give my interior space an artistic touch but my mind's not working right now. A few sketches would be appropriate but I am never satisfied with what I have. I don't think it's working nicely. Shit! I'm clutching things up again! Urgh! Thank GOD I went back to Malacca. The stay brought me back to who I am - cranky, funny, being stoopid! As soon as I came back to PJ, I felt a vibe of positivity and joyfulness! I felt so much better... I miss Mummy and Daddy! I h-e-a-r-t YOU!!

Joan got her new car already! I'm still waiting for a joyride! :P

Jo Weng is leaving on Tuesday. Gonna miss that dude so so much!

June's operation was successful! Praise the LORD!

Singapore. I'm darn excited! Hmm.. I can't wait to go there this weekend. It's like an escapade to new ideas and inspiration. Bottomline, I need a break desperately!

I wanna go out! but it's raining...

p/s : I'm tired too...

when I am bored...

2009-02-21T02:18:00.002+08:00

Seriously, some of you might think that I have no life. I truly admits that my life is quite pathetic, sharing a room with a couple; having no sense of who I am as a person; always heading home after class; social life lingers around the same few people; etc etc...

Dalfred, a model friend of mine who stands at 181cm tall said that he consider himself short among his friends. OMGOSH! Are his friends trees? I'm barely 170cm and and he is saying that he is short at 181cm? I'm a bloody midget then! I drew him that ultraman on MSN. How cute?! :D

Yes, it's very lame, I know. That's what happened when I am very very bored, sitting on the couch whole day glaring at the laptop screen while trying to figure out what to do with my sketchbook.

I'll go cranky soon! Trust me.. I am already~

*I'm still ignoring.. I don't know why~

that is it!

2009-02-19T12:43:00.003+08:00

FINE! So everyone is trying to go against me right now is it?!

This is so gonna be war!

You are so messing with the wrong person!

*I see fire in my eyes!*

1. All night long, all night strong.

2. We are damn good with our hands.

3. If we can commit to chipboard, relationships should be easy.

5. Use to doing things over and over again.

6. Finishing early never happens.

7. We know the true meaning of interpretation.

8. Creative positioning.

9. Work well in groups.

10. Entry and passage are always exciting.

*it's so bloody true....*

p/s : I'm still emo-ing...

it begins now

2009-02-18T10:26:00.001+08:00

My E-M-O-ness starts NOW!

p/s : I hate what is going on with me..

it sucks big time!

2009-02-17T01:49:00.005+08:00

What happened when you suddenly felt you're in a situation which is very much against you?

What would you do?

I felt hatred and disgust gushed into my soul today. I felt the world is so against me, everything done was wrong. I hate myself!

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

I have no other wish but to get a place of my own. I wanted the sense of being all by myself all alone. I could go to bed anytime and anyhow I want without needing to care for another person. I can sleep naked without hesitation. But all these are wild thoughts which will not happen in this time frame. The type of people I want to stay with is so much in contrast with the people I lived in now. Being outgoing, fun even though there's an exam coming along, naughty, less naive, WILD! Sometimes I wish they would grow up. It's not that I'm saying I'm bloody mature compared to them but it's the level of sensitivity in the house that is not appropriate at this age.

I felt there's no fun in life if my pathway did not collide with Joan, Janice, Jacqueline, Henry and Sharon. And Melinda too; being a rare case that our pathways crossed the very moment I came out of my mother's womb. These are the several few people I really clicked with and would like to still hangout with them in decades to come. All I can think of is that my life would be shared with all of them.

I'm writing this post because I have nothing better to do and because I am really tired of the norms of life. Being a student is so much fun and relaxing, one would say but for me, I am not savouring every moment of it. It suck big time! Life sucks big time too! So what's the big deal now? Piece of crap~

p/s : the mosquitos are annoying!! I killed 5 already writing through the blog!! *smack* Oh, another's dead!

It's just Valentines'

2009-02-15T10:21:00.007+08:00

Being single is my forte I would say as I don't see the need to be in a serious relationship at this point of time. I have many similar questions being thrown at me asking me why am I not in a relationship right now. My answer would be I'm not ready! I'm not stable financially, even my career is not affirmed, I'm still struggling to support myself and it is not easy to support another person. It is said that a relationship is a sharing of happiness and burdens, the ups and downs, etc but that would be all the love promises and diabetic oaths during the first few months of the relationship. After that, it's not the same anymore!

For everything there is a season under heaven Ecclesiastes 3:1

Adrian gave me a piece of leaflet yesterday which talks about the 8 Simple Rules of Dating the damn-Catholic way! I would say the whole thing encourages Catholic men to be boring lovers, unexciting male companion and the worst kissers. That is what I personally felt after reading it. All dating must end up with the Holy Matrimony. One of the rules stated, #2 DON'T DATE FOR EXPERIENCE - If you don't date for bloody experience, how would you know what kind or type of guy or girl you'll like? and what kind of lover you are? For me, dating is a part of exploration and finding who you really are; what kinda person you are inside out and what kinda person you're really looking for. Not all men or women are lucky enough to find the right one and hit bulls eye with ONE attempt. That's bloody heroic but life ain't a fairytale.

Don't go after your lusts but keep them in check Sirach 18:30

After reading the whole leaflet, GirlS! Catholic men are really holy people! Don't expect surprises and sparks in relationship coz we can't kiss, we can't go near you to avoid temptation, we cannot cohabit because it might lead to sex, we are inexperience coz we cannot date for experience and you bloody need to wait for 2 years at least before you can marry them! LOL.. Sorry I have say this because I don't agree on the gist of the leaflet pretty much~ End of story...

p/s : Anyone interested to get a copy of these 8 Simple Rules, please contact me directly for a free copy! :)

Beautiful view from the peak of Heeren Street - the towers from the Chee Family's Mansion

I had fun reminiscing the good old days when I helped my late grandma make kuih kapit..

And you have to believe me that assignments is NOT fun at all! The sectional model is up for evaluation and it is another chapter of a new stage now. It's prototype week! How 'fun'! I'm missing a lot of other fun when doing this. I wanna go Kelantan and Terengganu and the submission have to clash with the vacation dates! URGH!!! Aku benci!!!

I miss making kuih kapit/kuih belanda(Peranakan name)/love letters.... suddenly, all the cooking tips from my grandmother gushed out of that little space I kept muted since 10 years ago. I suddenly missed her. With more memories spat out, I'm missing home, missing Babi Masak Assam, missing Chap Chai, missing sambal belacan mum's style, missing so many things about home! I miss the nangka tree that bears the best nangka fruit!! I miss the smell of morning breeze back home. I miss my family most importantly.

I think I'm having that one day when emotions took over the conscience. I need rest

p/s : I hate deadlines! I so hate deadlines! I'm sacrificing an Awana Kijal stay for free coz of deadlines!!! FUCK!

good ol' malacca

2009-02-10T15:58:00.002+08:00

Despite hating the traffic and weather in Malacca, I must admit, there's no place like home.

That weekend brought together five people closer and stronger in chemistry. It was a humble breakaway from KL city when Henry and Jac decides to visit Malacca. Missing the Ayer Keroh exit was an irony with 3 out of 4 passengers in the car hails from Malacca - at least for goodness sake stayed in Malacca before or part of their family rooted in Malacca. Henry finally understood the grievances of my complaints about Malacca traffic when we arrive in Malacca town. Picked up Jasmine and we were just in time for lunch at my place. Mom was more than happy to welcome all of them with a sumptous lunch. Mom really cooked a lot. Everyone was indulging into true Peranakan dishes which you couldn't find anywhere else unless you know someone with the Peranakan blood. When everyone is already bloated, it is Coconut drinking session. Mom plucked the best ripe coconuts while dad chopped them open for a soothing dessert in a hot environment. Despire being in the kampung, I would say, even the trees and greeneries around my house are not helping in cooling down the temperature of the space.

Lunch over and we headed back to Jasmine's place to put our stuff in the guest room before venturing into her ancestral authentic Peranakan house. It was jaw-cracking! amazing amazing architecture from the past and I was truly blown away. The amount of precious things in the place is indescribable - all thanks to her ancestors for being such smart asses when most of the Malaccans are trying to kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang during postwar period.

Mesmerization moment's over and we headed down to Jonker Street for the famous dessert - Cendol. Had a blast! Everyone's bloated again~ After we had our cendol, we went for Satay Celup and several other places before southing to Pantai Kundur.

Went to church the next morning before heading back to Jasmine's place for oh-my-god-the-best!!!-ever Mee Siam I've tasted. It was so yummy, Joan finished the whole bowl of gravy left for the Mee Siam - minus the noodles! Sheish! After that, we headed back to my place to get my stuff before going back to Kuala Lumpur. On the way, we stopped by a shop in Tengkera for Tai Bak, ABC and Kueh Badak. It was just a simple soothing dessert perfect for such a hot weather.

Reached Kuala Lumpur with smooth traffic surprisingly on the Sunday before the end of school holidays. Went Pavilion for a simple movie - All's Well Ends Well. It was stupidity to the max! No gist but some parts were undeniably funny. After movies, we headed to SS2 for a quick bite before heading home with overloaded stomach and happy memories!

I lophe you guys! All of you!! I had a great time! LOPHE!!! :)

p/s : Assignment's next.. chao!

ASTAR Scrabble Challenge International

2009-02-02T10:12:00.004+08:00

It was indeed a gruelling 7-game tournament, being one of the hardest and experiencing the most nerve-wrecking moments. With so much of prize money at stake, it was indeed nail-biting to watch the outcome of every games. This time around, top Thai Juniors Chaiwat and Thacha payed ASCI 09 a visit coming full throttle to win the top prize. Singapore's WYSC 2007 Champion - Toh Wei Bin made a partnership with SPEC's Ian Tay while Malaysia's hope lies on top seeds; WYSC 2008 first and second runners-up, Khoo Beng Way and Ramaraj. The other tough-dough was Karl Chin and Brian Lim from SPEC, Johor. I partnered Leroy Ong (Melaka Boleh!) in hope of that RM7000. *I came in second last year with Aaron Chong*

The hall was just freakin' cold as the temperature of the centralized air-conditioned space was not controlable. Everyone was embracing themselves through the game. I was dramatically chattering! Some of the upsets include a 2-0 victory over Ramaraj and Beng Way. It came from inter-school long-lost veterans - Benjamin Ong and Sui-Jon. Beng Way also lost to Mohd Khairi, CNY Tourney 09 Intermediate runner-up. However, despite the unexpected losses, KBW and Ramaraj managed to pip Wei Bin and Ian Tay for 3rd place with an extra pinch of spread. Wei Bin and Ian was the overnight leaders until they lost 2-0 to the Thais to drop to 4th place. My team came in second behind the Thais. Well, here's my review on my games.

#Game 1
Opponent : Syahilla
I won't say much because she is still a newbie and I am pleased I played a clean game! I made a nice found in the first move hooking the R to form AIRDROME. Played 3 more bingos - FLIRTIER, DRAGONET and SORBENT.
Score : 567 - 230

#Game 2
Opponent : Ruzaini
This game I played 2 non-words but was not challenged. I got confused with ROADIST* and ROADIES. Played ROADIST* through the 4-timer. Played WEEDIEST and FATIGUE to seal the game with a huge +414 spread. He said he was too cold to think. I am too~
Score : 602 - 188

#Game 3
Opponent : Toh Wei Bin
This is where the real challenge begins. After getting enough cushion to retaliate any possible damage, I played TWB. I was struggling with bad tiles, drawing 4Is and unfriendly combinations. Was trailing all the way with him played LEAFIER and URETERS. Almost to the end, my rack was BELNPT?. Hooking the OI, I managed to find POINTABLE and BLUEPOINT but I wasn't sure of BLUEPOINT. Hastily, I played POINTABLE and it was challenged. +5! :) This game is totally his since the beginning.
Score : 353 - 450

#Game 4
Opponent : Khoo Beng Way
This is another tough cookie! Having lost to him on several occasions, I have no confident whatsoever to win. I played my normal game trying to score maximum on every move. He leapt away with COTTAGE and BAPTISE. I played a 3-timer RECLINES and played big scored with Z, X and J. A phoney by KBW cost him the game when he played HUCKED*. At that time, I was struggling with 4 annoying I s. I tried balancing my rack and scoring maximum to not fall behind. I drew the final blank and played a bingo DRIFTED to win the game by mere 8 points.
Score : 404 - 396

#Game 5
Opponent : Mohd Khairi
He scared me a little scoring huge scores in the first 5 moves before he started fishing for a bingo - TRITONE. I played DISSEND* but was not challenged. He then played a phoney LEASURER* which was challenge off. I smacked him with SINTERY(86) and COZ(56) to seal the game.
Score : 484 - 335

#Game 6
Opponent : Toh Wei Bin
First game of the repeats, we met Wei Bin again. I prayed hard that Leroy would beat Ian Tay again after a superb showing in Game 3. Again! I got really bad tiles with only one small scoring bingo STOOLIES (58). He played PURCHASE (110), SUNDIAL (85) and DOWELING (82) and won the game by a huge margin. I was worried and devastated! But Leroy managed to beat Ian again! yay!
Score : 338 - 552

#Game 7
Opponent : Karl Chin
It's the last game. It's do or DIE! At this point, there's no clear winner. Anyone had the change to have a podium finish. Karl started off with PLANETS (74) and he said sorry. I was having AEEGIU? in my rack to hastilily play EUGLENIA*(82) to reach the 4-timer. I was pretty sure but the real word is EUGENIA! Urgh.. the word was challenged off! Having the same spot blocked for EULOGIAE, I played EUGARIES (62) to open up a chance for a niner. My next move was GROOMING (82) but he smacked me back with SMELLIER (68). He then made a huge mistake by opening the board for me to fit my VAUNTIER (82) perfectly. He retaliated with TACONITE (75). At this time, the scores were even. I had a series of maximum scores AUK (35), SIX (47), DRY (43), JERID (39), ZEA (32), FEW (27) and DIVS (56). He has relatively lower scores and I won by a +71 margin. Leroy was slaugthered by Brian Lim quite badly in the last game. I was very pleased with my game.
Score : 505 - 434

Click here my gambar glamour~

Overall, me and Leroy lost 2 games each for a combined 10 points to clinch 2nd spot. Thanks Leroy for a wonderful feat! Since this is my last year in a varsity, it was good money! I should be doing my model but it's still on 2D form right now. Oh gosh, I so need a spanking right now!

*exhausted*

2009 for the wrabbits...

2009-01-22T14:53:00.003+08:00

Career: Since no strong Lucky Star, you will get less supporting in your job position. You will encounter the trouble and spend more time to finish tasks. Therefore you don't credits in the job performance. Your hardwork will be credited and praised but not rewarded. *bloody hell!* But you still need to work hard, stay focus, pay attention on your words or behavior. Otherwise, your mistake might cause to be scolding or punishing, even get a lawsuit. Therefore, you need to keep your profile low and avoid argument with others in the company. Then you will be safe in your career future.

Money: Because of the troubles and obstacles in career, you don't expect you will have good achievement in money area. You should be happy, if you can reach the same financial goal as in 2008. Because there is no Lucky Money Star coming to you, you must not do the risky investment or gambling *I heard that!*. Don't be greedy in the short term return, you will lose all and regret in the end.

Love: If you are married, you might have some quarrel with your spouse about your children or family expense. If you are in love, you will spend less time with your lover. Unless you and your lover have been together for many years, your relationship might be turn cold after some disagreement. If you are single, you have the chance to meet the new friend, but the relationship won't last too long.

Health: Many Unlucky Stars are unfavorable to your health and your family members. You should pay more attention not only on your health, but also on the the seniors in your family. You need to prevent yourself from not only getting sick, but also get injury at work and at home.

Fortune: The luck of Rabbit people in the year of Cow is not that good. So you don't expect you will have good job performance or good financial return. But you shouldn't give up, you need to persist your determination, learn the experience and knowledge from the trouble. When your good luck comes, then all career investment will return and the wealth will increase after. Poor health could cause your mental and physical problems. You can spend more time with your family to relax yourself and take care the health of family members. Make sure no one get hurt by any accident in the year 2009.

*Seems like it's not going to be a great year after all..* Bloody Holy COW!

special announcement

2009-01-18T21:31:00.001+08:00

At last, I found time to write something in this blog I left unattended for quite a while. It's bloody a week before CNY and the excitement is still not flaming. *skip skip skip*

Finally, I passed up my presentation board on time AND it's not the end yet. Presentation - I'm bloody first!, Sectional model, Dissertation, Astar Scrabble Challenge, etc... I'm so bloody busy.. need to sort them one by one now.

Back to the point, this post is specially dedicated to 'I-self-quoted' best gift of person in 2008!! I must say this girl-friend of mine is the best, funniest, lamest person ever! I must thank Joan for all the assistance throughout this few weeks when I struggled with my assignments. Sorry to cause you the worries. :D

Today had been an industrious day! Brought Joan to the bank, bought materials for sectional model, my car got *chik chak* by the summon camera at IPD in PJ new town * so geram!!*, collect board, went back to trim the white void areas off, went to college and lecturers went out for lunch, fetched Adelyn to WhiteBoard to fetch some laminate material, back to college, then pick up Linda and Anisha from Lapsoon and back to college, went back and cook my first meal halfway when Lily called urgently needed transport. And there I go again.. to Lapsoon and back to college. And now I bloody going One Utama.. I'm so tired using the same route 5 times today! :( huhu...

Crap! no mood to write today.. skip skip skip!

*I better get prepared or Joan will kill me!*

it's all about food and friendship

2009-01-06T14:07:00.004+08:00

The Music Ministry Retreat in Cameron Highlands marked the end of 2008 SFX Lifeline Music Ministry Caroling Project. It is a weekend of pure enjoyment, relaxation, friendship renewals and bonding. I must say that this might be one of the best Cameron trip I've been to thus far! Apart from the absence of Joan and the driving fatigue most drivers faced, the trip had been nothing but perfect!

I must say this trip was the core motivator for me to chalk an early finish in the annoyingly huge model which due yesterday. Besides, I must thank my churchmates for being the BEST 'cheerleaders', giving me words of wisdom, faith and strength and for being such great companions, inspirations and motivators when I was struggling with my bigass assignment. I LOPHE YOU GUYS!

The whole fun started on Friday afternoon. With only 15 minutes of packing and getting ready, I brought extra unnecessary load of clothes and looked quite haggard. Ipoh was a humble town with many hidden treasures I would say. We headed down town and rushed to get the famous Ipoh Salted Chicken. It was drizzling all the time when we were in Ipoh but the rain wasn't a turnoff! After getting the Salted Chicken, we headed to a nearby street for the celebrated Ipoh Nga Choy Chicken Rice/Hor Fun. The taugeh was fantastic! Short and stout and sweet! My mouth is itching again! Soon after, we went back to Henry's place to unload our luggage and we went out dinner with his parents and brother, Alex. It was delicious and yet another hearty meal! I went back feeling bloated.

The next morning, we got up at about 5.45am and got ready for early morning Dim Sum in Foh San. I like the texture of the dumplings and fishballs. The green vege was awesome too! After breakfast, we went to Henry's best buddy's wedding. We were to follow them fetch the bride. It was a long fashionable wait but I could see the exurberance flashing on Henry's face. It was my first-time experience fetching the bride. After the whole traditional-rites-infused ceremony was over, we headed to Cameron Highlands to meet up with the rest.

p/s : 'We' here refers to Henry, Me, Jacqueline and Cani

First pitstop was the chapel. Beautiful beautiful chapel. We went there to say a little prayer! The first day in Cameron was quite free-going. We went to the night market for some greenies shopping, yummy creamy icecream I had rum and raisins!!, strawberries and honey! After that, it's Dinner time in one of the steamboat restaurants in Brinchang! Hot soup and cold weather are the perfect couple! :) So Day 1 ended with an exciting game by Becky Bong and Abang Jagung and Cani's dance class which lasted until 4am! I learnt Cha Cha! LOL! :D

Day 2 started with most of the members hiking in a nearby greensite. I was happily hiking on the bed. Had a great night sleep all alone on the bed! Sorry Henry for taking so much space away from you *doelike eyes* Patrick made me tom yum noodles. My breakfast continued with another bowl of cereal with strawberries and fresh milk! Checked out, and we are free and easy. So Henry, Usop and Jagung's cars went off to Sungei Palas Boh Plantation for sight-seeing and a sip of tea. It was really mesmerizing and we shouted to the top of our lungs at the railing while climbing up to the Boh Center.

After the wonderful tea sipping, we took pictures and headed of to get flowers and went up hill to Raju's Strawberry Farm for the BEST, yes I mean the BEST fresh strawberries with honey and fresh cream with drizzles of icing sugar and ice cream served with fresh strawberries topped with cream and strawberry milk shake like the best strawberry drink I have ever tasted with good companions and breezy drizzling.... WAH! Okay, I'm being OTT! :) I can't wait to go there again.

After the strawberrilysensationicious moment, we went down to Ipoh for mass in St. Michael's Church. It is one of the most beautiful church I'd ever visited. It's so pretty! We did took some pictures too! yes! In the church~ As mass adjourned, the rain was pouring so heavily, we canceled the dinner plans near Sam Tet School. Instead, we went for Dim Sum again at some place in Ipoh town. It's so de-dimsum-licious! I love everything! And the Big Pau is bigger than my head! A sumptuous Dim Sum dinner summed up to a sumptuous bill too! After dinner, we headed back to concrete, metal, cement, urbanized city of Kay-EL. No more cool weather with snow-like-rain-bouncing-on-your-face moments.

This time around, I missed the Tau Fu Fah, Hor Hee Fun and other Ipoh hidden foodstalls. Must ask Henry for another Ipoh food hunting again! It's so fun~ Everything masuk buku 555 okay? :P Sigh.. It's all about food isn't it Gabby?

*I LOVE MY FRIENDS and I MISS THEM ALREADY*

Tropicana City Mall

2009-01-05T21:20:00.008+08:00

Each time I passed the Sprint Highway, this building will be an immediate landmark especially at night when the LED lights work its magic flushing vivid shades of colours on the facade. The itch to visit the place finally was satisfied with a mesmerising visit to Tropicana City Mall with Cani. The first thing which struck my attention was the double volume spaces in each floors. Food restaurants and retail outlets are of good designs. I must agree, I LOVE some of the retail designs. Damn! Those designers are lucky they got plenty of height to play around with! I think TCM will be quite a hit when it is fully open with all the 'on-the-way' tenants. Some operating retails include Body Shop, ESPRIT, FACESHOP, Nichii, Bossini and my favorite bookstore - BORDERS. :D Such a happy boy now.

The climax of the visit was the materialization of my own design! When I was doing my internship, the first project thrown to me was this retail project. To see 3D drawings bring converted to real life was really great! Though it might appear less fascinating to some people, but the joy of having your own design brought to life is just great! Such a proud boy now. The shop is Red Army Watches. Do check it out! :)

I was once again a victim of beautiful interior spaces. The pink shades in Penang Village drew me nearer and we went there for dinner. I love the environment - it's bloody red and pink! Ooo and I lophe the red sofa too! Penang Village is seriously a good dining place to consider. These are what we had.

Pumpkin Fried Rice RM12.90
Perfectly fried rice with pumpkin served in a poached pumpkin ring served with breaded prawn and acar. It's really good for a healthy hearty meal. Portion looked quite small but she was full!

Nasi Lemak Chicken Rendang RM 13.90
I swear to God this is one of the best coconut milk rice I've tasted. The rice is really fragrant and delicious! Served in a squarish mould, it is best paired with their sambal! Chicken is a little tough though but still taste nice. I love the sambal~ yum!

Soya Cendol RM3.50
Something you don't find often, a mixture of soya milk with bright green cendol and it tastes real good. A totally refreshing thrist quencher~

*I'm broke*

sorry, I've been away

2009-01-05T21:01:00.002+08:00

I stared into my Studio 15 browsing through usual websites. Noticing I have not been writing anything in my blog, I barely could do anything as I was so tied with the Caroling Project, Christmas celebrations, assignments, New Year Celebration and the Music Ministry retreat in Cameron Highlands. Many happenings yet scarce time to even land my fingers on the keyboard to type a proper paragraph. Nevertheless, I'll try to find the time to share the experiences one by one.

For more in depth visionaries of these happenings, please visit www.facebook.com

*I'll have to sort of stuffs in life before laying them down chronologically in the blog*

mistletoes and pills

2008-12-20T13:59:00.002+08:00

The moment I started to savour the joy of freedom from assignments and Christmas cheer, I caught cold, a very bad one which led to a super high fever the very next day. It went close to 39 degree Celsius and I was barely able to walk, talk or move a bit. I was basically lying on the bed like a dead body. Doctor said I had a very high fever which lead to the aching of the whole body and a very bad inflamed throat. Anyway, I'm feeling much better now. The fact that I'm able to blog explains that I'm doing good. I'm on medication right now. Bloody huge pills to swallow and I'm sounding very much sexy~ :P

I will miss several caroling sessions. I hated that! So so much! Hm.. As for now, I'm determined to keep myself healthy so that I'll heal faster to resume my Christmas joy with the others! That reminds me that I'll have to finish up my dissertation for complete freedom! :D

Talking about multitasking, I thought I was good at it which led to a conclusion that men multitask well too! However, I think I'll take that back for once. Went to the market this morning to grab some groceries as I'm craving for food after a whole day void of solid meal. While walking back to my car, I saw this man driving and he almost banged me! Gosh.. and to notice that he is carrying a baby on this left hand and talking on the phone on this right hand and the steering wheel was not attended! Total-screw-him-ly unmannered! Does he care about his baby or not?! Stupid fool! If he's less careful, he might just kill 3 souls. ME, the baby and himself! urgh!

I'm pretty much tight for these coming weeks. Taking a break from assignments, enjoying every bit of Christmas and practising and studying for my upcoming Scrabble tourney with RM7000 at stake! As for now, its resting time and Happy Holidays to everyone! Merry Christmas!

*resting = scrabble*

I have a plan

2008-12-16T23:55:00.003+08:00

Bloody hell I'm blogging again..
I'm very very busy..
It's all because of procrastination...
and my insufficient concentration and motivation to work!
I'm being lazy...
Lost without inspiration and motivation...
I'm so in the mood for Christmas..
and the jolly good Holiday Season!
Not forgetting the Y.E.S!!
Blahh!! I hope I will be able to complete the work...
Patrik told me..
Promise myself to give priority to my assignments..
to honour those words...
to respect the things I promised myself...
don't hope but believe that I can!
and things will turn out good..
Gosh! I wish I have an extra pair of hands coz one aint enough!

I can't wait to see my Churchmates again!
I can't wait to go to Caroling...!
I can't wait for Christmas...!
I can't wait for Cameron...!
I can't wait for Cuti!

After all, it's just Interim Crit.. I'll chill.. zzzz

*I'm so gonna be dead Thursday! DOOMED! Anyone wanna RIP with me?*

Party till 5..

2008-12-09T02:18:00.003+08:00

Penang trip canceled.. yea..

Party till 5.. make that AM and PM..

It's been a long weekend I would say. This weekend was a totally different weekend compared to any other weekend I had. Briefly, it was packed with itineraries of all sort - Caroling at the Old Folks home, orphanages, IKANO, sinful dinners at My Elephant and Fireman, breakfast at Raju's (crazy fried chicken is RM 5/pc and roti telur is RM 2.40/pc), late supper at Jinjang BKT, loosen myself in Poppy Garden till 3 a.m, and attended Kristie's teaparty in Damansara Perdana. Nevertheless, I spent extraordinary time with my close friends and churchmates and gotta to know them better and got closer.

I must highlight that I was really pissed but sympathetic at the same time when I was at the Old Folk's home in Cheras. The living room is facing a cemetery! What an eyesore.. what a view?! - esp for an old man/woman to view such a sight. *sigh* The kids were really nice and fun to play with.

It's running pretty late and my mind's getting a lil cranky. Many things happened - sweet or sour and a combination of both, but I'm still contented with what happened regardless what the consequences are. I do things I want to do and not be instructed on what to do. I have a life of my own and if one doesn't like my lifestyle then go fuck yourself! I don't give a damn.

Ditching assignments had been a hobby since. Getting some sleep and do CAD before tutorials.. hopefully I could wake up! geez.. Toodles!

*readers, please yourself visible*

i have some lameness underneath

2008-11-28T14:20:00.002+08:00

Cornelius tickled me hysterically last night.. So I thought why not share the lameness to the world~

What is the STRONGEST animal?

*Answer to be posted in the next update...*

she might appear meek but strong

2008-11-28T01:47:00.002+08:00

Today is one of the least productive days I had as always. Started with a long sleep and a healthy breakfast, my laziness ate me up again. Later in the afternoon, I attended a seminar on colours by Denise Turner in college and it was seriously good! I was paying attention so futilely, I'm surprised! :D

Droplets of rain poured down harshly at about 5.30pm in the evening right after I reached home from college. I prayed so badly for the rain to stop but it didn't. And I was supposed to meet up with Joan for dinner at 6.30pm. Despite the rain, we went for dinner in Paramount Garden. So here's the thing; the gist of this post.

Joan ordered fish porridge while I ordered claypot chicken rice with extra salted fish. *yum* After we're bloated from the heavily-carb-ED meal, I saw this old lady making a living selling "Lor Bak", an assortment of deep fried meaty products with some special sauce. I just couldn't help myself to buy something from the poh poh. She look pretty meek and already touching 7 decades. I wonder if she is in pain because she's hunching with osteoporosis; a bad one mind you! And she reminds me of my late grandma. SO, I bloated myself even more with the otak-otak and fried meaty stuff I over-ordered and dragged Joan to eat with me. I just could not see an old person selling things. I will buy regardless of any products. Take it as a weakness but it's damn-it-ly true; I will buy. Hmm.. Aren't they suppose to enjoy life at this stage of life? Hmm.. I feel bad and sad for them. Where are their kids? How is she going to carry all those heavy stuff? Or wash the plates and utensils? Gosh! This is hurting me!

I am definitely not letting my mom being like this in the future! She'll get the luxury of life when she completely retires. Same thing applied to my dad. Hm.. I have to have a motivator to get my going in my assignments. Dang! Right after this slumber~ toodles!

*Can't wait for the shopping spree*

24.11.08

2008-11-24T22:42:00.004+08:00

The morning sun tells a story,
rays of light so bright,
trying to make its way through the semi opaque curtains,
not a jolt nor a ring of sensation
could tell my soul, "it's a brand new day"

The morning sun tells another story,
it's time to start anew
trying to burn my spirit to jump off slumber
deep within my weak body
my soul wondered, "what happened yesterday?"

The morning sun tells yet another story,
it's time to remain in slumber
pondering what God's game plan
with a little jounce of vim
I covered my cold self, "it's time for rest"

*..headache..fever..sketches..dissertation..food..blogging..model..tired..sleepy..*

why am i still here?

2008-11-20T01:53:00.003+08:00

Life could be so zig-zaggy sometimes, you wouldn't like it!

Fresh from the cinema hall where I was almost dozed off watching Madagascar 2 ... Africa... (geez,I don't even remember the complete title of the movie), so anywayz, I was yawning dramatically in the car all the way back home. Completing house chores and some little grooming was the last thing to do before heading off to bed. Tonight I felt a little different. Before the movie started, I was talking to Kathryn about relationships. (oh! she's just my housemate) It seems she had a whole different perception of what love is all about and that past experiences made her forget what love is and for her confused what love really meant to her. In my life right now, at this phase, I don't see a relationship as a good thing but rather a commitment. Thus, friendship is the only option I opt for each time I meet someone new.

Let's just put it this way. I met this girl couple of months ago in a party. She is fine, pretty shy in the beginning and she's just a friend's friend. This is when facebook comes in real handy. I got tagged in an album with pictures of the party and she instantly messaged me. To my surprise, I was like "..err... isn't this girl the girl I met in Jo's party?" Since then, things blossomed quite nicely and rather sweet I would say. Until one day, when gestures and gimmicks were interpreted wrongly that it turned out to be what might be a serious relationship. I was instantly drawn back because it was a huge commitment I wasn't ready to commit. I ain't gonna hurt a girl's heart if I weren't thinking thoroughly. With that, I gave the opportunity a go. It went away and never return.

Few days back, I received another facebook message from a girl I barely know. ( I don't even know why she's in my friends' list) In the second message, she gave me her phone number. Yes! Desperate I don't know but it certainly freaked me out a LOT! and it is actually quite a turn down. In fact it is a huge no-no for me. Not trying to generalise but why are these girls so daring and outspoken that their instant introduction would be, "You can call or sms me at 01x-xxxxxxx". I'm so not buying it.

People do ask me why, why don't I get a girlfriend. My housemates are pouring that sort of questions and it is now a chant! Blame me for being the only guy (just the two of us actually) left unattached after my roommate got hitched by my housemate. I seriously told them it is just a burden and commitment I am not ready to handle. I let opportunities go just like that without thinking if there's more to come or probably that last one I let go would be the last for me. Can that possibly happen? Am I doing the right thing? For now, I'll leave it at the hands of God.

"Our lives are like crossroads. He chose our paths and if our paths crossed, that is fate - God's will and God's wondrous work."

*I'll just head to bed right now. My mind's relieved.*

things i'm looking forward to....

2008-11-17T10:33:00.002+08:00

2008 serves a beautiful array of life experiences I look forward to. I went through a lot of ups and downs in the earlier few months but I shook the bad off and embrace the good and now am more than happy to experience more excitements! Though I might sometimes whine about how bad I was with time management, how I could not cope with the ongoing assignments overlapping with the current stuffs I'm running, it is time for me to say "WHO CARES?! I JUST WANNA ENJOY LIFE WHEN I AM STILL BREATHING APIECE!" After all, assignments is not that stressful as I may put it sometimes. Really, there's actually sufficient time to complete everything while enjoying caroling practice in church 4 days a week and play Scrabble every night and day~ LOL

List of things I look forward to :

# Malacca Scrabble Open Challenge 2008
This tournament was initiated impromptu-ly after the Malaysian Nationals. A-two-month preparation saw every drop of hardwork being put into this tourney and it is definitely going to be a successful one! Let's hope it will not be in the red.

# Lifeline Caroling Project
Last year, I was brought closer to God and the Church through music. After my quite-active involvement in the Lifeline Music Ministry, I felt the sense of belonging to the Church and since then, I never hesitated to give the best I can to the Church, people in need and especially to the Almight GOD. I look forward for the great chemistry with the choir, good Christmas experience, visiting the orphanages and old folks, performing in commercial places - IKEA, IKANO, One Utama, One World, and also the yummy yummy sinful food! It's time to break the weighing scale!

# Christmas Holidays
It's the time of the year again to spend the joy of Xmas with friends and family before marking the end of 2008. *time flies so so fast!* The real meaning of Xmas is to give more than receiving. I feel more than happy to give my time and sing praises to God to collect enough proceedings for the needy. It really reflects the true meaning of Xmas. I can't wait to go back to Malacca too! It'll be superb! Shepherd pie... Sujee Cake...

... but for now, it'll be tutorials... will have to go see Ms Joanne later at 1am... And I'm still in the midst of completing..

*back to work right after this bowl of cereal*

*Wow.. it's already 11am! Going to HOMEDEC!*

in the midst of procrastination

2008-11-12T22:01:00.004+08:00

We had a quite amusing presentation today after a stringent tutorial exercise marathon; whatever you guys decide to call it. Things went okay despite our structure being totally 'naturally deconstructed' when we came in the morning. For now, I'll let the picture do the talking.

*my eyes are swollen, face are oh-so-dark!*

run.... run....

2008-11-10T17:55:00.002+08:00

I am really feeling exhausted at this point of time and I really wanted to let it ALL out! I thought I could go jogging in Taman Jaya but it's quite late right now due to long hours of tutorials. I wonder if I've committed myself to too many commitments? Caroling? Church? Scrabble? But my focus has to be on my studies! Why am I doing this? urgh! I'm feeling so not good right now. Stress led me to more food and I'm getting fatter!

Sometimes I wonder why carolling practice consumed so much time? I personally felt that there's an air of over-ambitiousness in the room and with the amount of time left, we wouldn't be able to finish practising all the song and to polish the quality before the performance. I don't want to have another torment during the performance. Everyone have to commit in one way or another but if the commitment is too heavy, I'm afraid I can't cope. I wanted to pull out from this project so badly but I can't deny the fact that music and singing praises to God releases stress and help me feel a lot better and calmer. Besides, I felt the connection with the Church each time I'm around a group of really nice people altogether singing praises to God. *skip skip skip*

I ydread to go to college tomorrow! Why? We're busy people. I'll make sure Wednesday is a free day to do assignments. I don't even have the time to read books for my dissertation. I kept renewing the books for 2 months already. It's seriously annoying! I don't know why time passes so fast! I don't know if I can take it any longer. People said I can cope and overcome. I don't have the hope to overcome this at this point of time! I need more food~ I so need more food~

Okay, I'm not trying to be sceptical or whatsoever, like when things have not been done, you can't tell what will happen or you won't know if it'll be a success but at this point of time, I just really want to let go many things! I want to LET GO~

*heads to kitchen to prepare some pasta dish*

i'm so screwed

2008-11-04T19:05:00.004+08:00

I basically just did nothing the whole day. I'm so screwed, so stucked! I am basically S..C..R..E..E..A..M..I..I..N..G for HELP~!!!

I'm quite in a lost state right now. I don't know what I am doing and I don't know what I should do! I just wish all these miseries stop right at this moment! I dread a lot of things and why must this feeling drown me at this moment? It's so not helping!

*I'm not happy!*

milk and oatmeal

2008-11-04T00:48:00.003+08:00

I am a little unsober right now. Pondered upon what I did today was just simply amazing and I felt so contented. At least I did got some leisure time for myself.. I do deserve it you know....

Weekend was the day of obligation for us Catholics as we celebrate the All Saint's and All Soul's Day. I went to mass on Saturday and I remember how the priest was telling us about the day of obligation is the day of REST. *ya right!* I barely could even have the time to sit down and breathe that time as there was so many things to rush for the Interim Crit session. And the fact that one sheet of presentation board took me 2 hours to complete really irritated the hell out of me! I completed everything at 12am on Sunday when my housemates were all hungry and craving for KFC. So, against all diet rules and regulations, I went to KFC and had a dinner plate! It was so SINFUL but I deserved every bit of pamper at that moment and I really didn't care about getting fat! *skip skip skip*

I woke up today feeling all so sober and nice, knowing that I completed almost all of the requirements when suddenly my mind was telling me I missed something. It was figurating in my mind and the image which was playing in the dark that moment just struck me awake and I quickly went to draw and wrote out what I was thinking in my pre-awaken state. As I was having my daily dosage of cereal, fruit and milk, I continued writing and sketching to add up to the already-satisfying boards I did last night. All the procrastinating and chit chatting led me to college right at the nick of time - minutes before 1pm.

I was to present last. *how boring* The Crit started at about 1.30 and I started my presentation at about 4-ish. It was quite okay but I choked a lil' while trying to summarize; ended up reading exactly what I wrote on the boards. I realised I did quite a lot and I am liking the progress and the decisions I made. Just a share of thought, my concept for my final project is 'Anatomy Contortion'. And YES! I've taken this concept and no one's taking it away from me! :P

The sky decided to shower right before the presentation ended and it was quite a heavy one. I got into the car with my back and hair partially wet - was I that quick of a runner? I picked Valerie up to TESCO for some grocery shopping and a quality leisure outing together. I bought quite a lot of stuff, especially milk as it was so cheap! Thus, my shopping list was completed! - greens, eggs, ham, mushrooms, macaroni, milk, raisins bran and more milk. I need to continue eating healthy as I felt the difference since I changed my eating habit. *big flashy smile! :D*

After grocery shopping, we went to The Curve for a light dinner. I went to BORDERS first for my monthly dosage of magazines. For dinner, I picked O' Briens as I'd not been there for quite some time and I am craving for the Hot Choc. So we ordered a sandwich each and Val ordered mushroom soup which tasted quite good! Then, we walked to Ikano for some on-the-shopping-list stuff. Val was too tired by then and we decided to go home. It was 9pm.

I reached home feeling so contented and happy that I did not waste a minute today. However, I felt so tired that I took a so-called nap which lasted till midnight and here I am! I need to start enjoying life I think, like what I did today. I feel so much relaxed and happier; apart from the gruelling assignments which might be quite lethal nowadays. I'm writing quite a lot at this point of time. I'm being whiny right? But it's satisfaction for me. Noticing that no one gives comments or feedbacks, I assumed no one actually reads my blog aye? So I'll just have my syok-sendiri sessions by myself~

*Abba Father, bless my friends with good health, that all their suffering and pain be offer up to you Lord, and you give them the strength and perseverence to stay strong and fight the pain. I pray that you lift up their spirit and not lose faith in you O Lord... Amen*

just let go

2008-10-31T00:46:00.002+08:00

....Munching a wheat bun with coarse peanut butter filling is heavenly when your stomach is grouching for food...

Catherine came to SFX to get Daryl boy's toy he left while he visited me here almost a year ago. Dealing with health products, Catherine was kind enough to let me try a special tea which boosts immune and metabolism. She knew I kept falling ill and complaining about headaches and stuff. I was indeed grateful! The thing which attracts me was the ingredients of the tea, namely green tea, lemon and hibiscus. I took a sip and it tasted quite weird at first but after a while, it's actually quite refreshing! This drink miraculously kept me awake without a yawn until now! (1.00am) and I felt hungry; yes I mean real hungry! :P

I felt so stressed up due to several problems which occurs concurrently and I'm beginning to freak out and started to break down. However, I felt blest God send me Patrik who made me feel so much better with his noble help! I felt really good after he obliged to help me out. I'm done doing precedence studies. I have all the information needed and I just need to translate everything on the final presentation sheet! I hope that I could finish half by tomorrow which would be brilliant! At least I let go of my burdens and felt so much better and could concentrate.

I thought yesterday's dance and singing session would help me release some stress but it was just short-lived. I'll pray harder! I am really tired of going to college everyday. It's such a waste of time especially during waitings! urgh! Okay, shall not whine anymore. Don't wanna be tagged the whiniest! Shall head to bed and work my ass of for 3 days! Good luck guys!

*it's 31st tomorrow! But no ice cream for me~ :(*

rum and raisins... strawberry cheesecake

2008-10-29T17:36:00.002+08:00

I'm quite sick of listening to wrong interpretation of words in lectures. It's pretty annoying. At least get the facts right and not do us more confusion! (explains why many didn't pay attention in class..)

Okay! That is not the point. Does rum and raisins or strawberry cheesecake ring a bell? YES! It's the time again - 31st of the month. Baskin Robbin is having their oh-so-popular promotion again. I'm planning to quench my cravings and treat myself for being a good boy this week. I should right?

I miss my churchmates! I can't wait to see them again. Probably have to wait till Saturday. I'm currently trying to finish up the plan of the building in order to start doing the framing model. It's going to be another oh-so-many-assignments week again till the Interim Crit on Monday. Firstly, I need to get well from my illness - being lazy! I've been procrastinating for many many days already. I did my assignments partially at all times keeping them on hold whenever I don't feel like doing them. *smack myself twice* It's time to get up!!

I'm trying to fit my time properly and plan ahead though I am not a person who plans my stuff. I rejected 2 freelance jobs, one got postponed, one is on hold, three is coming up next month! I really hope I can cope with all these. What should I do? Hm.. Probably, will start thinking about it after my housemate's birthday celebration tonight at TreeHouse, Uptown. I just wanna shake it off tonight! My shoulder is getting heavier by the days and I really need to let go!

*It's time to get back to work again (dreadfully)*

it's yellow

2008-10-26T10:53:00.004+08:00

I woke up by the beeping sound of my cellphone. Having 8 hours of sleep was just sufficient to get me out of bed and get the day kickin'! I looked myself in the mirror pondering about how yesterday had been so productive yet filled with oh-so-many downs than up. Knowing that it's all over now, I grinned and thank the Almighty for the beautiful heaven sent companions He bestowed me with.

"I'll pray for my friends"; was the phrase I wrote in my MSN. I realised that I'd been very busy this whole week and kept pushing myself into doing readings, writings, sketching and stuff. And yes, I'm such a whiner that I fretted about everything from A-Z about how assignments were killing me and how my time was so insufficient I barely had enough sleep. Well, here I am enjoying a big bowl of cereal topped with a mountain of mangoes and bananas trying to digest all the problems I was shared with yesterday.

Abba Father,

I pray that you help those who are worrisome, that their souls will be in peace and to have a more collected mind to face the day. I pray for those who are broken-hearted, that you plant a seed of love in them and make them realise that life doesn't revolves within one person or one particular issue. I pray for the sick, that their illness would be lifted up to you O Lord and that you take away their sufferings. I pray for the lost and found, that you give them strength to solidify their faith in you. I pray for myself O Lord, that you grant me peace of mind to be at most productive to square off all hurdles in my daily life!

I thank You Lord for the gift of persons, that You bless every single one of them.

Amen

*feeling contented*

Food cravings

2008-10-22T00:53:00.002+08:00

My housemates went for JOGOYA!! and I can't join them as I have band practice for mass this weekend! I'm officially oh-so-busy~ With two huge submissions not far from sight, there are so many things to consider and decide. Honestly, it is giving me headaches every night and morning. Thus, to calm myself down, I made myself a hearty dinner to treat myself for being such a good boy last weekend! I made black pepper chicken stew with potatoes sided with garden salad. *yum yum* Oh! I had ham sandwich with scramble eggs for lunch though...

That sinful bites wasn't the end of my meal of the day. After band practice, the band members decided to go for mamak. Hell yea it's a cool mamak! They only serve rice dishes! URGH! So, cravings over discipline, I ordered Nasi Goreng Pattani. Urgh! That guilt of eating is so into me right now. Gotta take less calories tomorrow. *so bimbo right? he he he*

And these pictures just remind me of more cravings I am having right now.. hot chocolate.. Swensen's burger... Control! *mind's gonna blow*

I miss the hot choc in O' Briens...

And the chicken burger..^#%&*$^

*need to have more self-control!*

tears of joy?

2008-10-19T00:49:00.004+08:00

Today's celebrations were in two contrasting colours.

I started my day today in church singing for Max and Andrea's holy matrimony. It was beautiful witnessing the couple blessed by God's presence and being called up by God to be together in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And to be part of the joyful celebration was just priceless. After the wedding mass, we were treated with a meaty galore buffet! Platter of ham, roasted pork, roast chicken, fish, prawns, yong tau foo; anything to make me salivate and overeat! I had my meal to the fullest and had a great time dancing and singing with the crowd. As we were eating, we're serenaded by a 60-something man who sang beautiful numbers mesmerizingly! It brought back memoirs as the songs he sang were songs of the 60s, 70s and the 80s. It was almost 4 when I went back with Amelia and Adeline to get myself changed and have a good rest before mass starts.

Mass was fine today minus the fact that I was late. I drove halfway to church to remember that I forgot to pick Christine and Jonathan up from their place. Urgh! Eventually, I had to make a U-turn back and was late. Regardless, it was so warm and nice giving and receiving hugs from church members as a sign of peace.

During dinner, we got a message from Cannis saying his mom passed on in the afternoon. The whole feeling turned sombre and it was pretty sad to hear that. So we decided to cut short the caroling practice and attend the wake @ the funeral parlour. We sang a song and recited the rosary. However, the dead's husband was joyfully jugging into his cans of beer. Regardless, it was obvious that the sadness in the eyes will betray a person's smile.

Condolences to the Rozario family~

Today I learnt one thing. Marriage is a start of a total new life which will end in death. As the saying goes '...till death do us part...', I believe that the death of a spouse is the beginning of another 'new life'. It's definitely not an easy task... wonder will mine be... ?

*tiba tiba emo duno for what!*

It's not by purpose

2008-10-16T22:10:00.003+08:00

It had been a high and low month.

I would say many left their blog not updated for many many days.. Crazy week has been so crazy, I barely have time for myself and in addition to that, I have music practices, band practices, singing in the weddings and other church activities to get myself busy and work my days wholesome. I'm not complaining so please don't get me wrong.

I'm still busy. (in the midst of writing the dissertation with a writers block) I still will be busy. This blog lost its priority.

Looking on a brighter side, raisinsandrum.blogspot.com will undergo serious content refurbishment! :) Be sure to stay tune.. Aite? he he..

*let's finish my series before continuing the dissertation*
p/s : Happy Birthday Shu Yin! :)

14-hour-bus-trip

2008-09-21T23:36:00.002+08:00

Last two months, I went to St Anne's feast in Penang with my family. It was indeed mesmerizing to see the architecture of the church being executed almost picture perfect! I love how the morning sunrise beams beam into the church through its glass roof. Beautiful~

After the super early morning mass which I slept in almost the whole mass due to two big reasons - first being the 9 hours bus ride from Malacca which left me sleepless and the oh-so-dead-boring choir who lullabied me to slumberland~, we headed to Hadyai. The stay in Hadyai was quite nice. Oh gosh, I shopped a lot! Eat a lot too! Blame myself for sitting in a table with a bunch of 'old-people' with controlled diet~ *devil grin with that Ziana Zain smirk*

Overall, I did enjoyed myself for the 3 days I spent with my family without thinking about my work. The night I returned from Hadyai to Malacca, I rushed back to KL that very night at 11pm as I need to work the next day. It was indeed hectic. However, I sucked it up and live with it. I'm happy~ :)

Tomorrow will be the first day of our Final Year. It's going to be bummer-liciously tough I tell ya! I hope I'll weasled my way through a good grade and start working! I just can't wait to end my study life. It's so restrained in many aspects. Can't wait to see my classmates after 3 months not seeing them! and oh! I can't wait to see ZiZi's hairstyle.. :) it's so 'un-curls' now.. :) and Claire said Raymond cut short hair adi~ muahahaha.. need to catch that! *I won't miss your 'hat' Claire~ :P*

*better get some good night sleep*

I love being back!

2008-09-19T19:22:00.001+08:00

Hell ya! I'm back and kickin'

but sorry la.. update later okay? now sorting things up~ :P

Blessing in disguise

2008-09-04T13:57:00.002+08:00

I've been waiting for this baby to arrive and he's finally here! *jumps hooray* Literally, I showed my emotions discreetly but deep inside this veneer, I'm as happy as a 5-year-old kid! I'm still figuring out how to manage this rascal of mine! It did took a while to find the power button~ *that's what happen when you're too excited that you ignored the guide book!*

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

I spent my day yesterday at Aunty Yeap's place playing Scrabble. Some of you might know there's a big tournament happening this weekend. However, anticipation turned jittery as the field is tough and I'm quite a kiasu person. At this point of time, I'm still at the same level I was a year ago but the others are improving drastically, especially the kids! It's hard to cope and level up with them when I've so many other things to think about! Urgh! Should I consider quitting Scrabble competitively instead? *I don't think I could for now*

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

Many asked, why didn't I joined the Lifeline Conference last weekend. I answered, "I have other things to do and I need a break..." Was that the best answer? I don't think so. I really wanted a time on my own since I'd been working and my daily life was so routinised that I don't even have the time to be alone and ponder over things that happened during a particular week. I'm sorry Lifeliners. I apologize for not attending and I will try my best to go next year!

Last Friday, I spent some time with Janice in One Utama. It was a day after her birthday and I felt so bad to have it slipped off my mind. Being a spendthrift, I bought several necessary stuff and several UN-necessary stuff and I could only spend her donuts. I felt so bad not getting the book I saw in Bangsar Village earlier that morning. I bet she enjoyed her donuts as much as I do.

p/s : Adelyn, it's a baby boy!! :D

*It's time to chill out with the sound of the rain*

When it's time to go...

2008-09-02T16:45:00.002+08:00

There must be an end for something good.. at least it was good.. I ended my internship on 28th August 2008.. It was indeed a great experience and I made real good friends! Eventhough 59 days passed so fast, I think I'd learnt a lot from this short period of time..

White Board Studio

The four trouble makers in the office~

Oh.. class will resume in 3 weeks.. I've been resting a lot since I stopped working and now it's battle time for the Scrabble Nationals.. Then vacation vacation~ I'm still waiting for my lappie..

Hm.. These days, there's nothing much to write about in my blog.. even Zizi doesnt update that often anymore.. yes! I know your connection like Slowpoke! :P Windows Live Messenger is killing me! ergh! stupid! geramz...! I can't wait to go back to Malacca.. and my baby has not arrive yet!!! Benci giler! so slow! Till then, I think I better get some good rest.. rejuvenate and start saving! My wallet is drying up due to too many leisure and entertainment!

*will be feeding on sandwich this whole week~

Fuuhh!

2008-08-24T20:30:00.002+08:00

It has been a pretty up and down week for me.. one day it's good, superbly awesome and the other day is like down to hell!

Had some rough time making decisions after decisions.. mainly about work, life and health.. it's not easy I would say.. People around me are supportive and really made me went through these hardships and I really wanna thank them deep down from my heart.. you know who you are..

I'm leaving office end of this month and I have 4 more days to spend in the office learning and gaining experience.. and 4 more days before I start missing my colleagues.. It'll be kinda awkward not waking up in the morning, dress up and drive to work.. coz it has been a routine for me for two months.. It's sad thinking that I have to leave so soon.. My thought of working for an additional month did not came through as I decided to take a break before the semester starts and I wanted to go to Singapore for a vacation on my own..

But to vanquish the un-wonderful feeling, my laptop is arriving in one of these days! Can't wait..!!! I got my baby a pet.. a very nice white mouse! huhu.. I hope they'll work together well~ Planning to get my baby some clothings to avoid him/her getting bruises too! :P *right! I have not think of a gender for my baby~

I'm not feeling so well these days.. and today, having headache again.. contemplating of taking an MC tomorrow to get a good rest as these weekend have been HECTIC for me.. Oh! had the best steamboat at home just now.. prepared by muah~ :P everyone enjoyed it.. will post pictures in FB~ so yummy you'll salivate! :P

Gotta have a good rest hoping I'll be fine tomorrow...

Set up in JW Marriot Hotel

Ta daa! The first stand completed

The minirack in Cheras Furniture City.. exact prototype in MV and OU too..

Okay.. it might not appear that impressive due to so many things.. the first stage of the design was awesome I would say.. but working with a revengeful client.. it's like boiling in hell~ The execution wasn't that good due to time constraint.. it's like building a final model in two days.. you know what I mean~ I prefer black with glowing red wordings.. but the client loves white background with red wordings.. what to do...

Okay.. Today was awesome! Me and my boss went to 4 different places to settle the HITACHI stuff.. The wordings you see on the mini white rack? It's sticker.. and we have to stick on every stand sent... namely One Utama, Mid Valley and Cheras Furniture City.. so was driving round town today.. After that, we went to Pavilion to do site survey in Harvey Norman and Bonia.. It was so cool.. we went to various Interior Design shops and furniture shops and my boss kept feeding my with design tips and information.. I learnt a lot today! Met Keith today and man! he's a darn good sales person! and the products in the shop he's working in is impressive! At least my boss was attracted~ haha..

Been a long day.. out since 2pm till 8pm.. gotta get a good rest today!

*i haven't fix my car! BUMMER!*

It happened in a flash.. like out of a sudden there's this car jutting out of no where.. it's a one way street and it's my road.. and it happen right in front of my office.. Thank God by colleagues were there and my boss in an instant drove back and try to settle the hoohaa for me.. The guy was okay.. coz it's hard to tell who's fault was it... BUMMER! I'm going to spend all my salary on that car repair~ ergh! hate it when things like that happen... it always happen when I already plan on what to do with the extra cash! now everything have to cancel! Why must it happen on me? Why must it be yesterday! haihz...

YAY!

I added another star to my portfolio.. The materialisation of your hardwork if just plan satisfying.. I'm just on cloud nine looking at the product.. Overall, I think I did a good job..

Oh.. today's something new for me.. I was on duty as a beauty shoot photographer.. LOL.. and it's not for models or customers of that cosmetic store but for the media representatives.. It's nice meeting the people behind Her World, Sisters Magazine, Female Magazine, The Star and other people from the press and learn how an interview process and a launching of a new brand is being carried out.. It's all about building contacts.. exchanging namecards and making new connections.. I myself did caught a few tips observing how people talk and introduce their products.. But in the end of the day.. it's all about making people happy with their beauty shot..

Was supposed to watch The Mummy Returned with colleagues and boss but two of the girls were ill and we canceled the plan.. so sad.. Friday night's empty now.. how sad.. I treated myself with a Gold Medal Meal.. :) Oh.. I got a goodie bag too! and it's full of cosmetics.. LOL..

I am wide awake

I can't sleep... for some bloody reason, I can't sleep...

Back from my Hatyai trip.. I'm really exhausted and all drained out due to the stupid 14-hour-bus-trip back from Hatyai to Malacca.. Then another 2 hours of driving all by myself from Malacca to PJ.. Anyway, I'm back to White Board Studio.. And yay! so many things piled up just for me~ But boss was great.. let us off early.. Gonna be so busy doing finishin touches for this house.. then prepare the Hitachi setup thingy.. then gonna attend this event representing the company.. aiyo.. so banyak things to do.. but that's it for this week.. Can't believe it's already approachin August! That means one more month to go to finish off Mr. Leong's work! oh no!!! I'm so so so not prepared! haha.. haven't touch a thing yet! Anyone to second this statement?

Oh!! My roomie's attached to my housie! aiyo.. Got a shock! Coz wasn't expecting it at this time.. and I was the last one to know! felt so stupid! heish! Feel bit weird but.. right... I'll get used to the lovey doveys.. hahaha..

taking chances

2008-07-23T11:34:00.003+08:00

I'm on MC today.. been having high fever last night.. Felt bad leaving my half-done work behind.. and it's due tomorrow! shiet..

I need some advice...

Let's say.. If you're offered to work in Dubai.. what will you feel? Excited? Accept the offer immediately? or.. Spend weeks thinking about it?

There's a few things to consider.. First is the weather.. it's about 50C there.. that's very hot! And the food.. what about language? the people there? culture? do they have a church there? hmm.. But the good thing is you're able to learn new things, get exposure from a different retrospective.. I get to learn new culture.. explore new type of food! since I'm a food lover.. But can I take the heat?! hmm.. I scared first week there I'll get high fever or vomit blood coz too heaty~ muahahaha...

Well, it is indeed an irresistable offer.. I need advice from you readers.. hmm..

*dizziness never stop buggin' me doing things I want!*

2008-07-20T22:02:00.003+08:00

I feel so sleepy even though I slept so well these two days.. Hm... weekend was a sweetheart~ Spent time at home.. meeting up friends..

Had dinner with Bryan and Adrian at Rumahku.. just beside SFX... The place so nice~ food's good too~ and Bryan was so excited with the service bell.. He can't wait to ring the thing so hard when we asked for the bill~ Halfway through our conversation.. I was so geram.. I grabbed the bell and ring it so hard! Gosh!! then the waitress came and ask.. "YES?" By that time we already annoyed her so badly.. "er...Do you have sambal?.. Thanks!" *nice cover-up?*

Huhu.. Watched Dark Knight today at OU.. It was really nice.. Despite the bloody long queues, company and movie was awesome.. Oh! I saw Mr. Soong with his girlfriend~ haha.. Hm.. Guess that someone can still bear the "long-gas-ness" of his.. hm...

I've nothing much to blog about these days due to work.. been exercising my eyes a lot looking at computer screen and lines and boxes and dots.. hmm.. gotta continue with the HITACHI design and proceed with the detail drawings unless that oh-so-damn-smart lady decides to change the design AGAIN! Already change this and that 4 times la!! Tolong la Ms Hitachi.. stop being so fickle minded!! ~like me~

Oh did I tell you? there's a piano in my house now!

*oh! let me remind you that I'm a banana~ I can't read chinese~ @.@*

i'm so tired...

2008-07-18T00:40:00.003+08:00

I wanted to complain so badly about how harsh today was.. but deep inside.. there's a really terrific feeling resounding....

Let's see.. We went site measurement for almost 3 hours.. a freaking huge big ass house~ 3 storey and dang! the beams and double volumes are so killing me! My back and neck aches kept looking and measuring vertical lengths.. And the best part is I'm so vertically challenge, I need the extra foot of the measuring tape to reach a certain angle! argh! and the measure tape! my God! I think it's barren.. it might be GAY! It's so lembik... Cant stay straight nicely.. hmm~ Mr Measuring Tape's Mandul!!

Went lunch after all the measuring and figures! I hate numbers! but not green notes! :P Had lunch in Central Cafe nearby the office.. I think it's quite a nice place.. but the food is a turn down.. Prob we ordered the wrong thing.. Anyways.. resumed work about 4 something in the office.. And 5 minutes doing the detail drawings.. my eyes started tearing.. I swear I HATE AutoCAD and I don't like doing working drawing.. I can stay all day doing 3dMAX or and 3d drawings but please not AutoCAD! erghh..

Boss came back and told me to do immediate amendments on the Hitachi Display Stand.. *YAY* So so happy! I can stay away from AutoCAD.. Did changes and redesigning 5 different stands for the Hitachi's new product - Ultra Thin LCD.. World's slimmest TV.. haha.. 3.5cm (1.5in) very slim but darn heavy.. it's 20kg with stand.. hmm.. I enjoyed designing all these in 3dMAX.. I finished the first 4 designs.. My boss came telling me.. "You should be proud.. This design of yours will be mass produced and distributed all over Malaysia.. The first one will be launched in JW Marriot next Thursday.. They are producing 50 of these.." cheh.. I'm damn bangga... Left office at 12.00 am

*so sleepy and oh-so-abso-goddamn-lutely bangga*

I don't like goodbyes

2008-07-15T00:23:00.005+08:00

how bad news can be....~

I spent RM300 repairing and servicing my car today.. huhu! @.@ Change the brake pads, smoothen the brake discs.. fa lala... the more I ask.. the more problem I have with the car.. and too bad I didn't inherit my dad's bargaining skills! haha.. I think no one's better than him~

Worked till 9pm something today.. reached home about 10pm..

Am kinda sad.. two of my housemates moving out.. And they are some of the closest housemate around.. The ones whom I share my problem with sometimes.. The ones who I enjoy cooking for.. hmm.. sob sob.. Need new housemates now.. hmm... Anyone need a room?

It's been a very wonderful week... Despite being really tied up to work and new projects...

Thoroughly, I've spent maximum time at work... generous time with my close buddies.. You know.. normal things friends do.. hang out.. yam cha.. do lunch.. chit chat... But I've not been spending enough time with my housemates.. At most times, they are always either sleeping when I'm home or they are out studying when I'm back home.. And when they're home.. I'm already asleep.. and when I'm awake.. they left the house already.. HaHa...

Went One Utama alone just now for some shopping.. Need to get some necessity.. I sometimes felt I'm SO SMART!.. I got a belt.. was very fickle-minded over a GREEN belt or a brown one.. haha.. In the end.. I got myself the brown one.. and the SMARTEST thing was I measure the length of the belt.. BUT I forgot about the holes!! Now I've to figure out how to make the holes so that I can use the belt nicely..~ haihz.. so SMART! Had lunch with Adrian just now in One Utama.. So full now! :P And I went to see Elvin's work being exhibited in One Utama for the PAM student's work exhibition thingy.. HahA.. was so impressed with the Taylor College's Booth and some artwork.. Took some pictures to get inspiration..

Talking about work.. I really need new ideas and inspiration to design people's bedrooms and living rooms.. I'm currently working on my 3rd project.. a 4 storey semi-D-cum-bungalow.. Am in charge of the master bedroom and the kid's rooms.. hmm.. I think I need ZiZi to be my color guru! haha... I'm so not good in mixin' and matchin' colors.. hmm.. Probably I should get more magazines..

*Off to church now*

Let Me Console Myself Ok?

2008-06-24T14:46:00.003+08:00

I came back from Penang on Sunday night.. It was a really great journey.. we stopped by Taiping.. ventured into the old town.. Taiping is really a great place! nice food.. recreational area there is huge! it's like the heart of the town that keeps the city alive.. Hmm.. air there is so much fresher and less humid.. love it!

Penang was pleasant too.. Stayed in Aunt Paulette's place and I felt so blessed! Good food, good stay, good hospitality.. Aunty Paulette's a great host! Shalyn's a great driver too! ha ha.. The tourney I went to this year was fine.. just fine~ Main reason is coz I didn't win anything! not even the lucky draw! so unlucky~ Shalyn got a pendrive.. Aunty Yeap got herself a MP3 player.. Vannitha won herself a MP3 player too and it's green! eerghh! (jealous).. The tourney were tough for me though.. here's how it went..

First day was horrendous.. I lost 3 games in a row.. I lost composure meeting Alastair Richards and Seshi Ramanathan (both much higher rated than I am).. Lost to Sue-Jane.. mistake and unlucky tiles! last game before Day 1 ended gave me a lil' hope.. I thrashed Chow Xin Wei by more than 200 points spread to cover up for the 3 game damage..!

Day 1 ended - I was bottom 5!

Second day was better.. Like any other tourney.. I always do better on the second day.. I won 7 out of 11 games.. I lost to current World Champ - Nigel Richards by 102 spread, US No. 1 player - Jason Katz Brown (he's only 21) by 82 spread, Singapore Grand Master - Tony Sim by 108 spread and Malaysian No.10 - Ramaraj by 41 spread. Not that bad aye.. Considering how bad I am! However.. looking on the brighter side.. I beat Bob Jackman - 2 times Australia National Champion and WSC representative for the Aussie team, John Lam - Malaysia representative to WSC Kuala Lumpur in 2003, Micheal Tang - Singapore big gun, and several others.. not too bad la.. :)

Day 2 ended - I was 13th I think...

Third day was a lil's depressing.. I don't know why I kept meeting strong players.. I met Jocelyn and lost, then Alastair and I lost! both are higher rated than I am.. indeed they are better than me! hmm.. Then I met Shalyn.. that game was actually hers.. I was trailing all the way and manage to trick her to win by a mere 13 spread! I set a trap up... with LIRI which doesn't takes an 'S'.. knowing that she had 2 'S' and hoping that she'll put the 'S' behind LIRI to play the DoubleWord (DW).. My heart was gleeing when she played SWANS hooking to LIRIS.. kept quiet and when she pressed the clock! BAM! I challenged it off! and finished with DRENT (she challenged the word) it's either do or die! but yay.. I won that game and met Uncle Jin Chor pulak! so frus! kept meeting tough players.. but I was really lucky in that game with Uncle JinChor.. Managed to play several bingoes.. and won comfortably (458 - 314). Last game I played another strong U-18 player - Beng Way.. Okay.. I admit I am a sore loser.. I was so angry when he made a bingo and kept scoring so much.. he played UNROBED(76) , HAPAX(67) , and BOTTE(35) and already ahead of me by 80 points.. I just couldn't catch up after the 3rd play.. and lost it totally.. Although I have both the blanks.. Whatever la..

Day 3 saw me missing top 20 just by that bit! I was placed 21st out of 50 players.. how sad! heish! but I must admit it was a tough field.. and my ratings went up! yay!

Okay.. his might be a boring post for non-scrabblers.. here's some nice words I played and I saw during the tourney.. WOBEGONE, ECURIE, HAPAX, TANRECS, ZORILLE, COHOG. TYIYN. TWADDLES, PINYIN, VIRULENT, SKIWEAR, FREITIER, WHOOPSIE, MANTOES, ZEBRASS and VAGRANTS.. gonna study the words now.. planning to complete 6000prob before MENSA tourney.. :)

*anyone wanna play scrabble?*

Back from Malacca, I spent whole day at Aunty GimSai's house playing scrabble.. Promised her and another Scrabble friend from Penang.. So next mission would be Penang Open on Friday! Pray for me~

Now have to come out with the planning for Gonzaga Feast.. I think I better make a list.. Haven't have time to cut my hair! My hair now like berus! I don't like it! Yuck~

I'm glad there's no classes or education related matters now.. Felt so relieved! for now la..~ hmm..

*tired*

Clarification

2008-06-08T13:54:00.002+08:00

I think it's time for me to clarify some things so that people wouldn't misunderstand me as a person~

#1 I'm not a rich kid la! I'm living with RM600 a month and that includes my monthly rental!

#2 I can spend extra money on movies and food coz I save my monthly pocket money through eating at home, skipping unnecessary meals and also doing freelance! It's not easy! pls understand!

#3 I'm still a student.. I'm not a working adult~

#4 I don't have really close hang out buddies who find me for outings.. I kept mentioning about this friend or that friend.. It's either the same person or hibyes.. okay? Don't keep saying.. "you have so many friends what~..." I don't.. My church pals are the closest to me now! I don't hangout with classmates often too beside having classes or lunches after class! so please don't keep assuming I always hangout or chillin' with classmate when I'm not~

#5 My housemates have been a sore these days! blegh.. It's either busy studying or petrol price increase.. So I stay at home most of my days! Yes! I might be the biggest whiner on earth! coz it's true! I'm really bored at times..

#6 Honest! I rather spend my whole day playing scrabble than to be felt sympathetic by people out there!

#7 I might not be the greatest friend but I know who's true and who's fakin' it out in front of me!
*annoyed*

Hobbit-ism!

2008-06-07T15:21:00.003+08:00

As I promised.. this CLASSIC picture! woo.. so drama right? okay.. I'm not retarded or vertically challenge~.. FInE!! I am vertically challenge! horizontal too! hmm.. but standing next to him just made me look un-short right?because he's 6'5".. make it 198cm tall~ Gosh.. he's so tall that I wish my I could grow just 5% of his height.. and I'll be SO GRATEFUL! la la la...

Imagine.. he don't need to stand on chairs like I usually do to fix the curtain or change light bulbs.. or even reaching those high cabinets.. He can see so clearly in concerts even if he stands like at the back row! He doesn't need to take pictures in between people's arms like Linda did.. :P haihz.. but there's many things only "short" people like me would be able to do... like.. err.. (consoling myself).. err.. avoiding bending down while walking between the tree branches.. *shit! Lost of words~* I'll think of one later!

Oh.. I forgot to introduce my friend pulak!..He's Roosevelt or Roosie! :P

Just got back from wedding mass and lunch! so tired and lack of sleep! only have an hour to sleep before preparing for the evening mass later! After that Choir practice and watching Hairspray in Patrick's aunt's place.. retro night tonight! woohoo! Do I sound excited? oh gosh.. no.. I'm so tired.. still need to see Anthony coz he need my help to do publicity for the Lifeline Conference.. hmmm.. Shit la.. I'm becoming so commited to Lifeline.. I don't wanna be so busy! hmm..

Oh! My name appeared on TheStar yesterday! Scrabble Scene! huhu! *bannga*<_random>

*over the top*
*tired*

Oil Price Hike

2008-06-05T17:59:00.003+08:00

Oh.. I'm not whining.. I just thought it would be great to share this in my blog.. I got it from an email sent by my dad's friend.. Apparently, I think the comparison is relevant.. I don't understand why the sudden extreme price hike and the savings would be used to subsidise flour, rice and oil? hmm.. How much can the government subsidise when half the money is filling their own pocket? and to think of it.. If there's no such price hike, the country wouldn't develop.. Malaysians just needs to learn to be more independent.. less dependency on the government because they're not a good pillar to lean on! It's for the rakyat~ Oh gawsh! LAME old Slogan! WTH!

oh gawsh.. I'm still as bored as ever! Can't wait for CG tomorrow! yay!.. Oh.. I had my dimsum cravings satisfied y'day night! after spending 15 minutes queueing at the petrol station for fuel~ ha ha.. Many others queued up for more than an hour.. I saw the massive crowd at every station! crwazeee!!! BUT IT'S GOOD THAT AT LEAST MALAYSIANS ARE GATHERING TOGETHER AS ONE TO DO ONE SAME THING! MUHIBAH! hahahahahaha

*free*

WTF?

2008-06-03T02:15:00.003+08:00

As usual... layan-ing my boredom.. i went website-hopping~! so I decided to go see this website I was clicking on some KBU student profiles.. hoping to see Zizi's face in there~ coz she took part that day when they were doing the promo in college.. and.. my kaypoh-ness.. I went reading some of the profile coz it's kinda funny reading their slogan of why they are natural~ so weird right?

I am the most natural because...... <-- it takes time to figure that out! hmm... what was your answer that day uh Zi?? curious

!!!annndd! I found this profile page the MOST hilarious and ridiculous! omgosh! even the webmaster's bit off la I think! This is one of the lamest grammatical error I've ever encountered.. can't they just stick with root word? spot the mistake? hmm...

Guess I'll let you be the judge~ tell me what you think!

*bored*

Sometimes, when we're lost and confused.. we blame God for putting us to the test! and we curse! but have we ever have a pause and think what was the reason you were put into these tests and temptations? Have we no eyes to see what's good and bad? Have we no conscience to differentiate the better and worse?

*cranky*

Long Day

2008-06-01T02:10:00.002+08:00

Indeed, I told my friends I've started my very long "break" of 4 months but it seems as though the burden is just starting to build up!

The movie thing is working fine.. still need to polish here and there

I regretted not going to the Interiors Malaysia thingy.. It looked fun though.. Congrats to Ryan and Adelyn for winning 2nd and 3rd for the Student Category Design Competition.. hmm.. at least my college got standard a bit~.. :P

But instead of doing something unproductive.. I skipped the Interiors Malaysia thingy to serve God.. yea.. it was a noble thing but I felt that if I could do both, it would be better.. and today was pretty much hectic.. was in church from 2pm till 11pm.. it's so long~ and I got to know that the choir recording practice will start next week~! every weekend~.. die lo! I didn't even have time to think about or plan my trip back to my hometown~ then I have to study for my Scrabble competition in 3 weeks time! omgosh!!!

Today I attended a talk on sexuality in church after mass.. was persistently invited by the Lifeline members that I couldn't run away but go.. I feel it's bit lame! and bit too conservative esp on the contraceptive and homosexuality issues.. and there were a few clashing issues.. hmm.. well, I don't really find it fruitful but ya, basically made me hate Catholicism more listening to all this! It's this part of Catholicism that I don't like! too conservative la sometimes! Well, being a Catholic can be so tough sometimes due to too many obligations and stuff!

Life's tough to think about! At this point of time.. I am thinking.. have I done enough to make me feel proud of myself? What achievements have I accomplished in life that I am to boast about? What great things have I done in life that serves good purpose? hmm... sometimes, thinking of them just made you ponder to sections in your life that you've not visited for a long long time.. I really need to plan my time well and not having my mind wander too much around un-necessities!

I miss my HUNS in UK and Australia.. :(
