Stuck in the moment..I wish =)

I'm sure that was what I wanted deep in my heart..I've took the chance..and there's nothing more to be done..and now I'm ready.. =)



How I'd wish that the time would just stop ticking away every hour, every minute and every second..just wanna stay in the moment forever..just like a snapshot of the moment which would just remain the same forever..

Birthdays! =)

Happy 19th Birthday, dearest Chye Ying!! =p

Hope you have a wonderful celebration and may all your dreams come true..haha..



Ou on Thursday..finally..we were all able to hang out without the trouble of getting a cab..haha..this time there were three cars available to fit all fifteen of us.. =) however..we splitted up once we got there..due to those who got the sudden urge of going karaoke..instead of going for movie which we had planned earlier on..

So in the end..11 were left for movies..and two out of the eleven actually went for The Confession of the Shopaholic instead of The Unborn..haha..and I actually voted The Unborn..the movie was okie overall..a little bit frightening.. =p

And once everyone's done..we met up in Wong Kok.. =) and there goes the cake and the surprised early birthday celebration for Chye Ying and Zheng Tat..hehe..



The birthday guy and girl..


Blowing off the candles..


Cutting the cake into pieces..and Zheng Tat's brilliant mind came up with formulas to cut the cake into equal pieces..


Good? I dont know..haha


Zheng Tat is our 'dat dat'..haha!


One more time!


This is Amerz..and he was preparing and decorating a plate of leftover food into a nice piece of art..


Here's the masterpiece.. =S



P/s: Anyway..I've already got the new car..haha..I'm proud to drive it back all the way from Kepong..haha.. =)

Lend a helping hand =)

Yesterday..while my brother's busy planting tree at Hulu Selangor..I've visited a mentally disabled home..or mostly known as spastic home..with my mom and dad along with one of my mom's friend...

Seriously..I do feel sorry for them..but they are really good hearted..they have a very pure mind and heart..there's this girl who actually welcomed us..and even brought us chairs straight away once we came in..and another guy who approached my dad and brought him into his room coz he wanted to show my dad his room.. =)

Some even came over and offered me oranges..and grapes which we bought for them..an Indian guy who was just two years elder than me even taught me how to say 'thank you' in Tamil..and mind you..he's not really mentally disabled..but he's just a slow learner..there were also a few children who was a slow learner like him as well..

There were also a few children who their hands were tied up..one was tied up at the bed's steel..and one was tied up at the chair..and one was tied up at the table..why? they were not being treated cruely..that I can assure you..the reason that they were being tied up was they tend to hurt themselves in variety of ways and causes injuries..

We were even told that the children and even adults who stay there are given vitamins injection every evening..they were also given four meals a day..and there are some food that they are not allowed to eat too..

It was really a great experience..I've only been to the old folks home and the orphanage before this..this was actually the first time I've visited a mentally disabled home..and I'm glad that we could try to help..although its not much..but still..its the thought that counts..I hope that I'll be able to visit them again.. =)








The next upcoming interesting event..Earth Hour and another Plant A Tree Campaign..I'm going for both.. =D

Lets save the environment! =)

A little reunion =)

Finance paper was great..I mean it wasnt as difficult as I've imagined..thank goodness..haha..hopefully I really did well..and now I'm preparing for the next paper for next week.. =)

Anyway..I've watched Slumdog Millionaire finally and I really think its a very good show indeed..no wonder they have won so many awards..and the kids were seriously damn adorable..haha..and I guess that the next movie that I'm gonna watch will be The Confession of The Shopaholic...and I'm waiting for Fast and Furious 4..wuhoo..

On the other hand..I've been spending quite alot of time talking with Amerz and Darling..and I'm really glad to be able to help others..and getting to clear everything from my mind as well.. =)

And today..I've spent time with Darling, Tony, Winnie, Petrina and Wei Jhian.. =) Although its just a simple lunch but we had updated each others' lives so much..wished that the time could stop for a little while..

Tale of Despereaux =)

The tale of despereaux is nice.. =) A tale of mouse and rat with human..hehe..yea..sounds like Ratatouille isnt it? It is a meaningful story with lotsa moral values in it..hehe..

At the same time..this movie is the first movie that I've ever watched alone in a cinema..and I felt nothing..its not even weird..somehow..watching movie alone is kinda fun..haha..not much difference than watching with someone you know who sits beside you.. =)

I actually spent the whole afternoon in Starbucks, Gardens studying for my mid term before the movie in the evening..and also figuring out alternatives for my future plan..haha..yea..future plan..sounds like something big..once a while..its good to think of the future plans..

After movie and loitering around mv..Andz picked me up and we went over to OU for dinner..and had further discussion regarding my plans..haha! he's indeed a good person to discuss about this matter..no doubt bout it.. =)


Anyway...I need to go to KLCC..ish.. =)

Blaa

Back to square one..

And I gotta start all over again..

Somehow..apart of me have already expected it from the beginning..

I dont get it..and I will nvr get it..

Its just totally meaningless..

Things just tend to reflect me where I've been standing all along..


Trying tends to be not enough..not at all..

And I've found myself there..all over again..




Again and again..


It needs to stop...

Zanmai Day =)

Instead of going back to SAB for the marching competition..I went Sushi Zanmai in the Gardens with Amerz, Mei Chern and Chye Ying..darling said I totally missed the fun..gosh..Rangers won the first place..and I missed it!! my bad..yes it is..sigh..

Afterall..Congratulations girls! =)

Its great that I managed to accompany Amerz today..well..he needs somebody to talk to..and a person that can do the listening..I'm glad he that he actually feels better now..hopefully things will turn better for him..poor guy..

Picture timeeee..


Amerz =)

Three of us =D


Upclose.. =)


Again..




And this is my fav pic of the day.. =)




Unbelievable day..I'm glad.. =D

Unbelievable =D

I didnt expect that Papa John day was fantastic..haha! =p

Apart from being able to spend some time with my darling..we get to eat yummy pizza..catching up with each other lives..updating on each other bout everything..walking around..shopping (for darling) and window shopping (for me)..

I miss those moments when we spent our time in McD studying and doing revision together..however..the incident that happened the other day kinda restrict us from our normal routine already..which is the overflowing of water from the toilet to the places at the lower floor..(you know what I mean?)..seriously..GROSSSSS and STINKKKK..we sorta banned McD eversince that day..haha!! =p

Our upcoming venue will be at the BurgerKing..I guess..

Anyway..mid term's on next week..its damn fast..and I'm working on it already..


Good luck peeps! =)

Training was good yesterday..I already have a better understanding of the whole thing that I was supposed to do..as what have been said..the intention is important..and I have planted my flag.. =) and so..I am up for the challenge!! I will get what I want by the end of March..

At the same time..I've received good feedback..and I'm gladddddddd...haha! =p



First lesson of training:

Clarify intention and choose how to do it..


If you think that you are right..then you are so damn right

I'm capableee

A friend of mine asked..

"I thought you said you're gonna focus on your studies..suddenly got a job..can handle?"

A very good question indeed.. =)

Well..why not..I havta do a little of multi-tasking but it wouldnt affect much I guess..plus..this will definitely be an advantage for me to get exposed to the real world while learning bout it in class..at least I think it'll help me in understanding the knowledge better.. =)

Afterall..I love learning sth that is beneficial to me.. =D


Owh..after being a little disappointed over my result for the previous sem..I'm setting my aim way up high this time..gotta give all I have to achieve it no matter how..no more procrastinating..no more relaxing..no more hanging around for fun..

And probably..I'll try to apply The Law of Attraction more this time.. =p



Time to fly..

Owh no!

When we arrived at the Guoman's junction yesterday..the name of Guoman Hotel was no longer written on the wall..and with full of optimism mindset..I told Andz.. "No worries la..I think probably they wanna clean up or make a nicer decoration"..and Andz was telling me that.. "Mayb they shut down their operation dy??!"...

And the answer was..









Guoman was under renovation and it was temporarily closed down..sighhh..seriously..we were kinda sad and disappointed..but there's nothing much that we could do..and decided to look for another hotel...

So we gave Selesa Beach Resort a try instead of going back to Chorus again..and let me say this..the place was quite comfortable just like the name itself..but the people who were staying there were the ones who made the place uncomfortable to us..I swear..I felt alienated in the resort..

This is bcoz of the place that was fully occupied by most of the Malays..and when we went over to the beach in front of our room...there was a big group of ppl who were having their teambuilding..and we were forced to go to a certain distance..and the worst was..I really dont understand..how could this ppl swim in the beach with a pair of long pants and a big t-shirt..how oh how?!!

That was when I felt so different..I didnt really prepare a t-shirt and a pants for myself to get down to the beach..instead..just a pair of board shorts and bikini..can you imagine how aliented that feels to be the odd one..seriously VERY ODD one..

So..in the end..we changed our minds..and went over to the swimming pool instead since the beach was kinda dirty afterall..and surprisingly..there was only an Indian family who were in the pool..it was seriously peaceful...and I really feel comfortable there..undisturbed..Andz and I had quite a good time swimming in the pool though.. =)

As for our dinner..we actually went over to the town and bought pizza and fried chickens from PizzaHut and KFC..we brought them back to our room and had our wonderful dinner there while watching Mission To Mars..haha..that was enjoying... =)

This morning..we woke up really early and had our buffet breakfast which consists of only nasi lemak, mee goreng, mutton, porridge, sausage and hashbrown, omelet, kuih-s and cereals..fyi..none of them were even nice except for the sausage..and mayb porridge..Andz was saying that the nasi lemak's sambal was seriously spicy can die and it made him headache after eating a small portion of it...

Anyway..here's some of the pictures taken during the trip.. =)



I drove all the way there.. =)


The view of sunset.. =)


After swimming in the pool..


Ditch the guy and camwhore time.. =p


He wants to be in the picture too..


He deserve a kiss.. =)


The kiss with whats-in-his-mind look..hahaha


Whatever-look.. =p


After a nice warm shower.. =)


One more before the guy's done with shower... =p


Well..we've came to a conclusion that we will nvr ever go back to Selesa Beach Resort anymore..hahaa..since we were not so comfortable afterall..we will definitely go back to Guoman.. =)

Layyyyyy-zehhhhhhhhh

Yes..I am..basically I skipped work and went out for lunch with andz instead..not only that..even accompanied him for work a while after that...by the time I got home..I only managed to settle some of my work..ishh..more to follow up tomolo then..no more procrastinating..

But...














I'll be going to Guoman, PD again tomolo with Andz.. =p


And the sad news are..I'll havta settle my work along the way there in the afternoon..and I wont be able to check my results which will be released tomolo after 12pm..guess I'll just need to live with anxiety for another day till I'm back on Thursday instead..


Good luck guys.. =)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Now I understood why everyone's been saying that the show is nice and touching but boring at the beginning..I shall say..the storyline is way too lengthy..its like three hours..and the story of Benjamin in his childhood period is too long..I guess it started to get more interesting when he's in his midlife..BUT..overall..I do like the show alot..seriously its so meaningful..alot of things that could be learnt about life from this movie.. =)

Not to mention..its Brad Pitt..he made a good job carrying the role of Benjamin of course..plus..he's hot during his mid-age.. =p

Although this movie did not manage to achieve the Oscar for the nominations listed..but it doesnt mean that its not good enough..I'm sure everyone who watched it will have a great impact in their lives.. =)


Life isn't measured in minutes, but in moments..

Happy 19th Birthday, Beloved Ivan!

My beloved Ivan's 19 this year...like what Xian said..*this is your last year of age starting with the number 1..* You must admit..you're getting old..and yes..behave yourself..haha! =p

Whatever it is..you're still the same Ivan that never once failed to be there for me whenever I need you..still the same guy who will support me in whatever I'm doing..still the same guy who wont complain much despite having to fetch me everytime we are going out..and most of all..the same guy who knew exactly what I want and what I am thinking of all the time..the guy who understands me so much.. =)

YOU ARE THE BEST! =D

And so..HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY, IVAN! =)


The birthday cake..Pei Cee's name was written there as well..coz her birthday was one day before Ivan's..therefore..Happy Belated 19th Birthday, Pei Cee! =)




Birthday guy and I.. =)


Anyway..hope you'll know that I really appreciate you..alot! =)

First day in TalentEDge and everything's great..lotsa things were learnt from the director and my mentor..a great start indeed..most of all..I'm glad that I'm learning sth that I really like doing..other than that..nothing really matters..

Training's done..the core concept was understood..the objectives were clear..and now..I'm ready to jumpstart my career in the company..of course..I shall prove that I'm not much different from my brother..wakaka..gotta make someone proud.. =)

I'm officially a part of TalentEDge... =D

Whatever

When things are said and left undone..is it plainly fear or just merely trying to hide? No doubt..it does take a lot of courages..to step out of it..and trying to adapt all over again..is it for the better or the worse? Guess it depends on how the mind is attending to it..

There isnt any ratings for the levels of intelligence..but just the willingness and the worthiness of the steps taken..definitely no questions of rights or wrongs..but of course..each steps taken shall not perish the pure foundation that was firstly well-built..

On the other hand..there's no need of having to vow or promise for anything that was planned for the better..as long as there's understanding of the importance..and ensuring that the want is somehow a need..there will be visible light guiding along the pathway..

I believe in the saying 'Dare to dream and think big!'..of course..without dream..there wont be any will..when there's no will..there wont be any improvement..actions will not be taken..differences will not be made..but..plainly dream isnt going anywhere..therefore..dream must be followed with effort in order to achieve the desired outcome..

I'm pretty glad that some have already knew that I dislike wasting time on making comparisons and then getting involved in the jealousy game just like some of the others that cant stop themselves from committing to it..there's no place for me to pour my interest in and I would pretty much prefer focusing on my very own capabilities rather than just depending on another that was tagged along...

Be it slow but worth it..and most importantly..the meaning of it..

I really do admire people that have the same thinking as mine..but for the opposite..I just feel that it might be kinda sick to be even boasting around for something that might seemed to be 'borrowed'..

Valentine's Day

I bet everyone's wondering what I did for Valentines with my another half..

The answer is














nothing special.. =)





First of all..I dislike the idea of having to pay extra amount of money just for the sake of valentine's day..basically..its just an ordinary day..but since everyone's excited about celebrating it..everything became so expensive on that day itself..

For example..a rose that costs less than five bucks on a normal day..suddenly it costs about ten bucks or even more than that..dinner too not to mention..candlelight dinner became extraodinarily costly..and most of all..everywhere's crowded with people..I mean..couples..everywhere..on the street..dining area..shopping malls..



So on the eve..Andz and I actually went to Eilene's birthday party instead..bought scarfs for her..and had conversations with fellow Sabians that attended too.. =) sadly..she's leaving to Australia in just less than a week time..too little time left to be hanging out with her before she leaves..basically she's fully occupied with outings and reunions with friends and families..mine will be on Saturday with Edward..karaoke-ing for the last time till she's back after a year.. =)

*You'll surely be missed my dear.. =)*



As for Valentine's Day itself..I just spent it like ordinary day..dvd-s at home..and a normal late dinner with Andz..and since everywhere's crowded..we ended up having our dinner at Bangsar's Delicious..and ended the night with a car ride along with george and gf.. =)


Actually..we got a better plan of celebrating the Valentines..we postponed it to next week for a trip to Guoman again most probably.. =) time for a relaxing trip with Andz again..interesting..hehe..

---

Anyway..I'm done with Heroes Season 2 in just a day time..haha! but before I proceed with the Season 3..I gotta catch up with Andz on the Gem of Life series first..well..although I sounded like some kinda tvb series buff..but I'm not! I still think that English series are way better than the Chinese series..no hard feelings... =p Cant wait to catch up with Prison Break Season 3 and 4 too..

I wanted to be one of those who get to watch Marley and Me though..there's this Valentines package that costs about rm200 from GSC on 13th and 14th Feb..where there will be candlelight dinner and the screening of Marley and Me..but I didnt take the package although Andz was asking if I want it..

I just wanted to watch the movie..but its a little not worth it to be paying that much just for the sake of the movie itself..what if the food isnt that nice? hmm..and so..I've decided to just wait for the normal screening next month.. =)

---

This evening I've suffered from serious stomach cramp again..after for years it didnt happen..basically..I managed to see alot of stars around me for quite a few times..especially when I stood up after sitting or squatting..thank God I didnt faint due to that..just close..

And thanks to Andz for his concern and care..I was back to normal now..haha..its not him that made me feel okie..its the pills that he bought for me.. =p but yea..without him..there wont be pills..and I really appreciate it so much! =)

*Thanks a lot my dear..=)*









Maybe I was stupid
For telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong
For tryin' to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way I found out I'm nothing without you

Cuz we belong together now, yea
Forever united here somehow, yea
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you






*you know its true.. =p*


<3 ya! =)
