~Dancing in the moonlight~

I finally finished watching [moonlight resonance] or [傢好月圓] yesterday, all 40 episodes of it. so satisfied!!! Actually i could have finished it long ago, but waited to watch it together with my family cos tats what the show is about anyway, isn't it?? Family spirit all the way, yay!

Well, i read that the average rating for the show was 47 points and the final ep even garnered 50 points, beating that boring show 大長今.. I've changed the flavour of the week again to the song that i have sooo fallen in love with after watching the show.. you will too, cos it's so befitting the story... hehe, even my brother and mum have been affected by Raymond Lam mania now.. :)



According to mum, wats portrayed in any show, usually either has happened before in real life or might have the chance of happening.. If tats so, does that mean there are really ppl as evil as the second wife in the show??
Oh man.. humans are a conflict ridden race...
Actually i dunno wat im typing dy, cos im sooo sleepy now, falling asleep while typing already, and my minds a whirl cos too many things to think and plan abt right now... Maybe i'll just leave this post hanging and blog another day, hehe.. :) Just watch the show if you have the chance lah..
Goodnight!!!

Random thoughts

After reading a fellow blogger's post today, i have the inspiration to also do 10 random things about myself... Ahem... Its not plagiarism okay? cos however random these facts will be, they will still be about me... :)

Number 1
Why do i always use tadtad for my nicks??
Erm, funny story really, simply cos i have a big head, i was bigheaded when i was born and i still have quite big a head now.. Can you believe that my head got stuck during birth and the poor doctor had to get me out using forceps?! hahhaha.. so mummy and daddy had the brainwave to call me tadtad coming from the word tadpole... If you dunno wat a tadpole looks like, heres a pic for yr reference, so big lor the head -------------->

Number 2
At one time, my favourite fruit used to be bananas.. Why?? cos im a lazy person and bananas are so convenient, no washing, no peeling, no cutting, etc etc.. Just peel off the skin, bite, chew and swallow... I know i'm lazy, but now, i dont favour them so much.. Instead i go for other lazy ppl's fruits: persimmons, grapes etc.. no doubt still have to wash, but still can skip a few steps compared to some other fruit :P

Number 3
I am super stupid.. (O.o)
By that i mean in terms of body tricks that you can show off to others..
cannot roll tongue - check
cannot go cockeyed - check
cannot touch chin with tongue - check
cannot bend fingers backwards - check
and the list goes on and on, in fact, you name it i cant do it, so far i havent found anything special that i can do with my body parts to use as party entertainment, does really flexible ears count??

Number 4
I used to get crushes on guys very easily, i think the number spanning my teenage years could go up to a few dozens.. hahhaha... and i'm the crazy, fanatic type.. i mean, once i get an interest in someone, i will go all out to find out anything abt them, but its easy come easy go for me.. till i had a steady boyfriend, i'm very loyal wan ok... Very long no crushes on anybody already! So in the end i had so much useless information stored in my brain about celebrity birthdays and other trivia.. maybe tats why my memory is getting worse, cos no place to store???

Number 5
I have a weakness for really shiny and squeaky clean floors, especially those that are a bit slippery.. Cos you can only find this in homes that are mopped everyday by 'clean freak' mothers... Tats not the case in our house tho, we do mop the floors but not every single day lah, for myself i think its kind of unnecessary.. However, whenever i visit houses that have such floors, i will pretend to be skiing and slide around on my feet, super nice feeling! especially if the floor is cool... Dont believe me?! try it yourself next time!

Number 6
I used to go for piano classes when i was a kid.. So why cant i play a tune on the piano now you may ask??? all my fault lah! Cos i've always been plagued by the lazy bug... I attended those yamaha classes when i was around 4 or 5 years old, see i was lazy even then! Mummy says that i used to try all sorts of excuses to avoid going to class until one time i threw such a big tantrum that i fell sick and ended up with a high fever.. that was the end of forcing me to go..
Up till now, the only tune i can remember is:
"do re mi fa so so,
fa mi re, mi re do,
do re mi fa so so,
fa mi re mi do"
hahahhaha.... wasted lah, my talent... so admire those ppl who can play the latest songs on the piano now lah... I can still remember some of the things we used to do during those classes tho, i know i'm old, reminiscing and all that!

Number 7
I used to have really bad asthma when i was very small... So bad that i wheezed when i breathed and i used to be so skinny that you could count my ribs through my skin (long long long long ago tho, now so big difference, wanna count oso hard!), i remember often going to the doctor and breathing into little machines, maybe thats why i hate visiting clinics now... According to mummy, i was cured by having 冬蟲草, double boiled using a slow cooker... thats why i have so good defences now she says... I usually fall sick abt once a yr, tats all.. touch wood... but i do agree lah, even if the whole class gets the sniffles, i can still hold out! :) so proud.. And theres this amazing story abt my brother and me.. Since its common knowledge that you dont suffer as much if you get chicken pox when you're younger right? So when we were little and my mum heard that her friend's children had gotten it, she quickly brought the both of us over to have a playgroup in the hope that we wld get infected too... hahahhaha, unfortunately, until now, we still havent gotten chicken pox yet... Amazing right?!

Number 8
This will kind of contradict number 7... I used to fall sick during big, important exams all the time.. I cant rememver any final exam during primary school that i didnt fall sick... But dunno why i seemed to do better when i was sick.. maybe god took pity on me or something... UPSR and PMR i sat for while havng the flu and i got straight As.. Didnt fall sick during SPM tho, so thats one of my theories why i didnt manage to do so well... hahhaha... lame excuse... (>.<) Anyway, recent exams i've also been ok, maybe im more relaxed now?? Hmm...

Number 9
I actually dont like all these technology stuff! Why cant they keep it simple?? Why cant a phone be a phone and a car be a car?? So irritating to have to find out how to get round so many buttons and gadgets and what not... See, now theres even a car that can go underwater ----------->
Why cant we go back to basics?? life was so much simpler then, just have some useful practical gadgets to keep us comfortable and that wld be enough... I hate the feeling of being outdated all the time, so tiring to keep up with all sorts of new technology opping up day by day... I think we;ll be taken over by robots pretty soon at the rate we're going... Boo....

Number 10
I om a one-eyed pirate... no, im not crazy... its cos i have super bad astigmatism in my right eye which is 300+ degrees... I think im so lazy that even my eye is lazy.. heehee.... I think the problem arose when i was placed at the side of the classroom for 2 years during primary 4 and 5, cos i clearly remember there was a bright spot on the blackboard where we had to squint and bend and stretch ourselves to see the words... 呂老師 I remember you! (O.o) anyhow i cant stand wearing glasses for the whole day cos its very troublesome especially when you are eating or want to scratch yr face.. so ppl, now that i am shortsighted in my left eye also, pls forgive me if i do not wave to you when you pass me on the street.. Its not cos im snobbish k... its just that im scared i'll acknowledge someone wrongly, and scare a complete stranger instead, hahhaha... but i try to wear my glasses as much as possible when im in college lah... :)

Wah, i'm so longwinded... can type and type stupid facts abt myself... Hope you dont really think im crazy after reading all the crazy stuff above lah... :) if you wanna know other irrelevant stuff abt me, jus ask... Bleh!

Hair reborn...

I now officially have straight hair!
Sat through a 4 hour hair straightening session today...
Damn, my ass is getting so flat!
No pics as yet tho, cos
For one, most ppl who know me know that i actually hate taking photos,
and since its just day one, my hair is kind of flat, like a straw hat and the parting needs some time to settle itself down (-.-)

One remark i have from today " Sutera mall sucks big time!"
I hope to goodness the tenants can survive longer, but in my opinion, they're lucky if they can last till the end of the yr..
I swear, its so quiet that you have no mood to shop...
The tenant mix is so unappealing too!
Not even a vincci or Watson's in sight leh! Unacceptable tat is!
Not somewhere i wld wanna go again lor.. (O.o)

I visited the website and they even have grammatical errors, heehee... so lousy wan ar???

"Sutera Mall is a family mall that is catering to all shoppers, who are yearning to experience a new lifestyle ambience in a shopping mall that is different from current shopping centre in Johor Bahru, and Malaysia at large."

Haha, the only compensating thing is the food court, first time i've ever been to a food court where there're ppl serving you from start to finish, dont even have to get up even when footing the bill, wow... the cendol was nice too, slurrp.... Hope it'll be better next time i ever go there in the not very near future, heh...

Damn pissed!

Funny that i didnt give my last post a title...
Cos if i had typed it later that day, it would have read: Damn pissed off!! ! ~#^%$~#

Warning:
Anyone who drives their own car and never takes public transport can opt to skip this post... Cos its honestly a lament on my trip from KL-JB

(-.-) <(o.o)> (o_o)

Fri 20.09.2008
Bf and i planned to have lunch at the puduraya KFC (he always makes it a point to send me off you see), so we left the hostel at 11.30am, so that we wld make it in time for my 1.30pm bus... wat a good idea that was... First things first, i had to check on my bus ticket when i got there at 12.45pm, AND:

"For buses heading down south, pls embark from the Bukit Jalil bus terminal! With effect from 15th Sept-15th Oct"

Shit shit shit shit X 50 million times!!!
I nearly panicked cos i had never been to bukit jalil and thus couldnt estimate the time i wld take to arrive there, so no lunch, as we rushed crazily back to the lrt station and headed to bukit jalil...
stupid stupid... why must everything change during raya?! More expensive tickets, such a long walk to the bus station....... >.<
Recognise this ppl:
Not only did it not leave on time, my bus departed after 2pm, its has a really messy system! I was out on a bus going to singapore, eventho it does pass JB but i still had to be sure right? since i'd really experienced a scary bus trip where i ended up somewhere i'd never been to before.. But the driver was so rude and unhelpful, jus waving me off without even glancing at my ticket! It also took 4 and a half hours for wats usually a 3.5 hour journey.. Wats more, it stopped at some crummy rest stop in a plce called Machap tat was dirty, dank, depressing, deserted and who knows wat else all at the same time!! Wat the heck, the toilet was so dark i cldnt even see clearly where the toilet bowl was, they still had the cheek to charge 20 cents!

Take the yellow bus instead, im a big supporter!! always on time and efficient too! if it wasnt for the logistics problem, i wldnt hav taken trans...... &#*^%@#@

*untitled as yet*

Ok, so this is me boh liao-ing halfway thru packing up...
I end every sem by stuffing all my stuff into the wardrobe in my room..
Its for the very noble objective of not letting dust collect on my things during sem break..
Ya ya i know that dust still collects anyway when i put them back out, but i still like to do it for tradition's sake... :)

But gosh.. how can tidying be a thing that needs so much energy and co-ordination?!
I have to plan beforehand so that the space is fully utilised and i dont forget to bring anything i wan to bring back home.. and some more need to squeeze and squeeze all my things in...
hahahha... cos the amount of stuff i have multiplies and evolves every sem... haiz...
almost finished soon.. and hope i get to update soon...

Yahoooo.....!

Urghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *bang* *bang**baaangg*

The banging in the title is the sound of me slamming my head against the wall~~~ Arghh...
Actually this post was supposed to be for yesterday.. but the stupid wireless was down again!
Anyway.. All my tests are finally over and done with... phew, what a relief! :*
Study until sot liao yesterday so took some photos of my notes that i'm really proud of...
Just to show off a bit.. Ppl are always borrowing my notes, hahahha....

My messy desk... If you're reading and thinking to yrself, erm, tats not messy wat.. Well, it is by my standards.. I'm very particular abt neatness... But not cleanliness tho, cos my things are mostly dusty, hahahha :)

Notes that are as high as a little hill... I swear to god, whoever managed to memorize everything must be a saint!

If you're wondering, yea i rearranged and painstakingly copied all my notes out by hand... Cos my stupid lecturer is super weird, he keeps giving us note with absolutely no proper arrangement and he skips and jumps and hops all over the place when he teaches... So, being the neat freak that i am, i just cldnt tahan and had to do it all over again.. Partly to waste time and partly to help myslf understand better lah... You really think i dont have anything to do meH??

And no, i'm not so free to design little mind maps for all my notes, just that my weirdo lecturer gives us notes like these.... and i thought WE were The Ones supposed to make our own mind maps... what the heck... Its part of the reason his notes are so confusing--cos they point all over the place!!

Anyway.. I think i did ok lah... Wont fail but 'A' is a '???' hahahahha.... No mood to think abt that now..
Home home home.... ............. .................

Has the sky changed??

I took some pictures of the sky, seen from my hostel the other day...
Then i realised, "Hey! 3 years ago, when i first came i oso took some pictures if the sky!"

Lets see:
3 YEARS AGO












I remember I was quite apprehensive when i first came up to study in KL.. First time staying away from my family, no friends in the same course and such.. But i think i've come a long way :)

SEPT 2008












Well, whats different you say?

For one, the phone i'm using is different, hahahaha... Lame...

I dunno whether it was coincidence or fate that sent me to where i am now.. To be precise, Room G-07, block C, TAR college hostel..
But I have to say, many things have changed since then...
I've learned so many new things, experienced so much, grown as a person...


What I've done in 3 years that i never did before:

-Found my first love
-Received a diploma with distinction
-Watched a movie on IMAX
-Watched JJ Lin in concert [will go again if theres the chance! Fantastic]
-Eaten lots of nice food not available in Johor Bahru :)
-Internship
-Donated blood
-Had curly hair [tho its not curly anymore :(]
-Started a blog? [counts, i think since i never did it before]
-Danced! [Cant imagine i went thru the whole extra-curricular subject with dancing!]
-Learned some makeup skills :)
-Bathed in the darkness during a power outage [scary~~]
-Tried go-karting
etc etc etc...

and many many more new things to come i hope!!
Come on life, be more interesting!!!!! ^^

I dont wanna be a panda!

~~InSoMnIa~~


~CrAzY asks~
Which would you prefer??
Sleep until cannot wake up?
Awake until cannot fall asleep?







This has been quite a stranger to me in my 20 years of life..
AND I've always been sympathetic to friends who have this problem,
cos i'm afraid of the saying "you always get what you wish you won't"
I think the worst i have experienced was tossing ard in bed for ard 15 minutes,
which is a long long time to me... BUT yesterday,
i was still '眼光光' staring with the ceiling at almost 4am after getting into bed at 12am+, damn! I think it was the super bitter tasting Teh-O I had with my laksa..
Too much caffeine perhaps???

To tell the truth, i'm the kind who panics when i cant fall asleep, even if is not too long before I do.. and damn it, when you cant sleep when you want to, yr mind seems extra alert, I was thinking the whole time, "if only i was This awake everytime during class huh!"

And the saddest part of it was I woke up at 6 something, yea you read that right...
Me who needs at least 7 hours sleep in order not to be a grumpy witch!
I really tick ppl off when i dont get enough sleep...


Impatience + Sleep deprivation =

Shit! what happened when i woke up this morning was, through half-opened eyes, i saw 2 obvious black rings ard my eyes... Wat lah, i'm so fragile meh, one night only and i look so dead!

And so here comes the interesting part!
I have this miracle product to introduce:

Skinlite Cooling Cucumber Pads!!!

They really really work, trust me.. I was introduced to this product by a friend whose whole family swears by it... I try to use minimally so my 24 pieces can last quite long, just used the last 2 today... sobs... Luckily its sold in SaSa and only costs RM17.90, and cheaper during sales... The friend mentioned above always grabs a whole bunch during sales!!
I've used it to reduce swelling after crying and to cure dark eye-circles too of course.. Or if somehow yr eyes feel very hot, you can use it to chill and relax, haha... very helpful... and to emphasize this again,
IT REALLY WORKS :)


haha, tats all... finance paper done and over with... Stupid stupid tax next...
Stupid tax that gave me my only 'C' in college...
I wonder if the guy who started tax will roll ard inside his grave if i curse him some more??? >.<

Aftershock..

2 days with no wireless line!!!
Tats what i went through the past few days.. Damn pitiful lah...
No reading online newspapers, no looking for online games and entertainment news,
no uploading photos and updating blogs, no watching silly vids on youtube...


I cant stand not being able to update myself..
So many stories to tell but no chance to tell them, and now i'm too lazy to write them all down, hahaha...
So irritating to have to devour 3 days worth of news on just one day @.@
After reading the stupid news in Fri, i was so heated up that i wanted to blog immediately..


Luckily i couldnt, now that i've cooled down, on afterthought, its better i didnt..
If not perhaps i'll be the one arrested next! What the hell... what kind of 'democracy', 'freedom of speech', 'multi-racial tolerance' do we have here?! All the hypocrites have washed away so many years of built-up reputation by our forefathers...


I dare those people who preach pendidikan moral, moral & etika and 道德教育to come out and defend their values now... Otherwise, no school-going kid is going to believe the stuff written in their textbooks lor... Sigh...


Look at me rambling and rambling...
Well, luckily Ms Tan Hoon Cheng, the reporter who write about the 'Orang Cina Penumpang' story has been freed.. Good luck to the other 2 detainees, you have my heartfelt good wishes ya...


Pls read Ms Tan's account o her detention and pray tell me whether you believe it was for her own safety due to threats on her life?! Bah humbug!

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/9/15/nation/20080915132832&sec=nation


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


In the other hand, i cant believe i have so much time to worry about other ppl.. Whats wrong with me??! Tomorrow finance paper at 9am, and see lah, what have i done the past few days.. Sigh, i think my brain is going haywire.. Yelp...
Wish me luck for my final 2 papers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feeling helpless... :(

Backstreet Boys
Downpour lyrics

I been walking around
Inside a haze
Between the lines of reason
Hiding from the ghost
Of yesterday
Feels like I'm barely breathing

[Chorus:]
I-I wanna feel the rain again
I-I wanna feel the water on my skin<
And let it all just wash away
In a downpour
I wanna feel the rain
Na na na na
Feel the rain
Na na na na

I've been losin days
The shades pulled down
I still can't face the sun

But I-I'm goin crazy
I can't stay here
I've gone completely numb
I just wanna need someone

Oh no
I thought you were the only one girl
But now I think I was wrong
Cause life goes on
Na na na na na...

I've been walking around inside a haze

In a downpour feel the rain
Feel the rain

I wanna feel the rain

One Big Day!!!

When you ask anyone what they think of Sept 11, they will tell you it reminds them of woe and destruction.. Well, let me tell you my own little tale of 'woe and destruction'...


A STORY FOR MY BROTHER
It all begins with a silly little girl making a wish at a wishing well some 19 years ago.. Of all the good things in the world she could wish for, the only thoughts in her little mind were:"I want a little brother", and who knows, her wish did come true! And along with it came joy, tears, frustrations, worries and a whole lot more other gifts...

Remember the time when i got so mad at you that i put glue in yr hair and mum had to cut it off with scissors?? Boy did i get a good scolding after that but its a nice memory..

And
when we used to hide under a big quilt and pretend it was a tent, and have fights in the double bed.. hahaha... that was fun..

And
when i gave you a gumball and told you it was a sweet and you ended up swallowing it

And
when i was being caned by mum you used to run around chasing after her, begging her to let me off

And
When you used to stick all sorts of things in the video tape player, toilet bowl, microwave, etc..

How time flies, You're all grown up and a teenager now... i wonder if you still remember all the little things.. i sure do and heres letting you know, i really cherish those moments and am really proud of you little bro.. Although you drive me crazy sometimes, when you tease me or make mum unhappy by being lazy and rude and whatnot, dont be rebellious for too long ok...

H@pPy 18th B!rThD@y my dear boy! I dont know whether you'll get to read this post but just wanna let you know you're the best sibling one can have, far better than some other siblings of other ppl that i have come across...

I hope that you know that you can always come to me in times of need and be sure to let me know when you get your first real gf, haha.. You're the only one who really understands firsthand how i feel living in the same family during storms and grey skies, lets keep it that way.. Im posting this post in your favourite colours that i know of, if you've changed yr colour preferences, please let me know ya.. :)

Happy Birthday!
You may claim yr birthday treat when i get home ok? :)

~Random~

I lurve the name *Raine*, not Rainie nor Raina but simply Raine..
It just sounds so pure and ethereal, like the name of Phoebe's cat in 'The Memory Keeper's Daughter', a novel by Kim Edwards....

Rain
A gift from the gods...
Brings the images of dewdrops and rainbows to mind...
The soothing sounds of a soft pitter-patter on the ground helps lull one to sleep...
Rain-->streams, rivers, waterfalls-->plants-->nature's bounty...
Water-->flowers-->gardens-->insects-->animals-->the world...
Imagine a world with no rain, how dry and parched it would be...

A trick by the heavens...
Bringing storms and floods and chaos...
Too much, too much...
Plantations ruined, livestock lost, homelands to rebuilt...
Rot and decay, ruins and rubbish...
Not all is beautiful...
***END***




Why such an emo post??
A tribute to the rainy season??

No lah, yesterday got caught in the rain, very thought-provoking...
Whats more i have a load of clothes waiting to be washed but put on hold cos of the rain..

Anyway, today the bright shining sun is out today...
As an afterthought, i really prefer cool days more, hehe...
~~~Crazy thoughts.......

All's Well!

After a bout of lethargy and laziness inducing indigestion, i'm back!
But its true i was feeling under the weather the past few days.. I think it was sambal petai + sambal brinjal=tummy upset... :)

Anyway, i had my first out of 4 papers today--> AEMS 3113 Moral dan Etika..
@.@ after going abt half a yr/ 6 mths without sitting for exams, it was kind of weird..
I mean, my hands shook when i first went in and sat down, when did that ever happen?! All through my life i've seldom been jittery during exams.. Well, except for that time i sat for my SPM chemistry Paper 3 and didnt know how to do 2 out of 3 questions, ha!

Idiot 2pm paper, i was yawning and tearing the whole time, i think the invigilator also tot i looked pitiful cos i was sitting right in front of him.. SO, i think i did pretty alright, hopefully this subject can help pull up my CGPA lah...

Next up ---> MCSP or Malaysian Company Secretarial Practice, quite a mouthful right? So you can bet that it wont be that simple a paper... Sigh... Off to the study room once more tomorrow... Spent a large part of the evening at the Ramadan Bazaar and playing this:




Games at Miniclip.com - Skywire 2
Skywire 2

Take control of the cable car and get the passengers to their destination safely

Play this free game now!!


Believe me, its damn fun and challenging, especially when you play the 2 player mode and you're a kiasu person like me! I love the music and sound effects too! you have to try it... :)

Skywire 2, yippeeeeee!!!!

The Difference Between 1 and 2...

When your age starts with the number 2, you tend to look at things in a different perspective... :) Or maybe i'm the only one, whatever...

-When i was 16, i cld go to a free concert which was supposed to start at 8.30pm to book a nice place almost 4 hours earlier, sitting on the ground with some food, drinks and magazines.. BUT, on saturday when i passed the concert venue at 6 something and saw some ppl already there, i jus laughed and said "funny ppl, go so early for wat?"

-A few yrs ago during my 'chasing after idols stage', i cld go to a autograph/ meet the fans session, and stand, sing, jump until the whole thing was over and not feel a thing.. BUT, now after like one hour of jus swaying and singing along, i can feel the ache in my back, neck, legs, etc etc.. This i can confirm its not only me, but my frens also experience the same thing! :) wats more its 一年不如一年, the time you can withstand seems to shorten a bit every year...

-Last time i led a carefree simple life.. BUT, recently, beyond my studies, i have to figure out wat things wld be good as a full-moon present and how much ang-pow to give if i attend a wedding... OMG, i got so old meh?? Got so many frens popping out and getting married, having babies, etc.. I know at least 5 ppl from secondary school who have become mums! OMG, scary!

-when i was younger, i could carry off hair clips like these and ppl wld say 'ohh, so cute'
BUT, now,(not only me but frens too), we'll just saw ohh so cute and then put it back on the rack, even if we cant help it and buy, we'll also not dare to be seen using it in public and opt for more demure ones instead, haha...


-Yea, and last but not least, we start to reminiscence abt things that happened years ago during primary school :) the other day when i was chatting with frens , we were jus saying that we are 1980's babies, and a bunch of teenage girls turned right ard to look at us, hahaha.. ya lah ya lah, its the age of 1990's babies now... wait till yr age starts with 2 then you'll know...

getting old dy... sob sob... 21st b'day coming soon... no one is going to describe me as a kid anymore, sigh... >.<
