Just Me And Myself

Happy New Year!!

2011-01-01T13:49:00.000+05:30

1.1.11. What a way to start a new year! But although the date was a fantastic one, my new year's eve was not at all!

Had exams on new year's eve. And spent new year's eve night just at home watching How I Met your Mother and went out to have one scoop of icecream. On the way back I saw many people dressed up to go out for countdown to a new year. And there I was in my tshirt and short pants... No countdown for me at all. How did I manage to have such a unhappening night?? This morning I woke up early for my 8 am class just to find out that there is no class. Way to start a new year!

Anyway, despite of all those things, I am still grateful that I am able to go through a new year. Grateful that I'm alive and breathing, grateful that I passed my second year and am going back to Malaysia in February, grateful that my friends and family are healthy and happy. Sometimes you just have to be grateful for what you have as there is always someone out there who has it worse than you do.

So, may 2011 be a great year! May all our wishes, dreams and goals come true! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I don't know what title to put...

2010-12-13T11:30:00.000+05:30

LOL to the title. I really am lost when it comes to putting titles, particularly if I just want to update my blog and have no specific topic in mind. So just ignore the topic!

I've just finished my 3rd posting of the 5th semester. 3 more postings to go, and 2 more months till I leave this hell of a place... Can't wait for my Europe trip!!To take pictures in front of the Eiffel tower, Pisa tower, London bridge etc etc!!! WOOHOO!

Recently I've learnt something new about this world. No one is perfect. One cannot be fully a good person and one person that is bad will have some good in him/herself. There are some people where they are really good, sharing secrets together, laugh together do everything together, but they are either irresponsible or too lazy and likes to ask you to do stuff. There are some people who usually are VERY annoying and noisy and make you want to slap him or roll your eyes when he is around, but there are times that it is them who are willing to take up responsibility to do stuff... I find myself going slightly crazy... Maybe I care too much about how things will go. Should just go with the flow and let things happen as it ought to... But that is just not the person I am... But then, who am I to judge others... I am certainly flawed as well.

It had been a busy 3 weeks for me. I am constantly falling sick every weekend since end of November... My parents and brother came to visit me in Manipal! :D Feels so good to see them. I really missed them a lot in spite of my mum's constant nagging. The following week I had Annual Night going on, which I went to take 2 prizes, one for 100% attendance in second year and one for distinction in Forensics. I really regretted wearing sari as it was SO troublesome and hot! And the ceremony had to be held at a field, where my heels kept on digging into the soil and it ended up spoilt... Luckily it only happened when I was about to leave the place, or else I would have been so embarassed if it broke when I went up to the stage!! The 3rd week, which was last weekend, we were busy preparing food to be sold at the food festival held on Saturday night. We were hoping to make some profit but sales were not that good. So much for all that work... It would be a miracle if we did not lose money...

Anyway I was so glad that because of the foodfest and Lagenda it is a holiday today! I get to wake up late and rest for one more day. Then it is on to my next posting tomorrow, which is Community Medicine, which will be full of field trips and stuff. Hope I won't become any darker as I am still dark from my Goa trip last month...

Christmas is nearing! I really want to celebrate it in a Western country... Addicted to this song lately! Makes me feel so chrismassy! Give it a hear!

Update Update

2010-11-15T20:11:00.014+05:30

Wooh! My blog has been dead for almost 3 months. Lets start the update from when my holidays start!

After my second year unis, I went for a trip in India along with YiZhi, Szechiang and her mum. We visited Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. My main purpose was to visit the Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world. Definitely did not regret my decision! It was SO majestic. Words can't even describe Taj Mahal. It seemed so fake when I first saw it. It was just SO picture perfect!

This is a picture that I took of Taj Mahal! It looks so much like a postcard!

Me in front of Taj Mahal!

After a 6-day trip, I went home to SIBU! Went out as soon as I reached home to meet Jasper and to celebrate Richard's birthday! Met up with quite many friends during my holidays, which I'm quite glad because I seldom get to meet my old friends. I even got to celebrate Richard, MJ, Tiff(early) and Connie's birthday together with them!! Miss my old friends. Miss the days back when everything was just so simple.

Permed my hair!

Richard's 21st

Tiff's early birthday because she had to leave early for UK.

Mj and Connie's celebration at The Ark!

Connie's actual birthday lunch

Even got to celebrate Mooncake Festival with friends! :D

One short month of holidays and I was back in India. I am officially a 3rd year student! Clinical phase is tough, especially for people like me who can't really remember what I read in second year, what more the 1st year. Basics are very important, but I just can't bring myself to read them all over again. I just want to enjoy this honeymoon semester before going back to Melaka and getting humiliated by the lecturers there... Heard from seniors that things are really tough in Melaka. The only consolation is that I'll be in Malaysia, with all the entertainment and good food! Can't wait!!

3rd year students with labcoats and stethoscopes!

Had a weekend away to Goa with friends for great food and beach!

Well that was a summary of my life these few months. Am doing this post because I had nothing to do... I've finished my endposting exams last week but others are having it tomorrow. Haha! Had to have something to do! Shall update as soon as possible. Till then, ciao!

P/s: some photos are from Ian's album!

FINALLY!

2010-08-29T08:45:00.002+05:30

I have FINALLY FINISHED MY SECOND YEAR FINALS yesterday!

Words can not express how I feel. I'm just so........ relieved? HAHA!!

Am leaving Manipal this morning for one week's tour around India, then I'll reach Sibu on 4th Sept. Kind of regretting my decision to go for the tour because if I went home straight, I'd be home by now. But if I don't go this time, I will not have the chance to go anymore. So... yeah...

I really thank God for helping me through this difficult time... Thank you all those who prayed for me during my exams, especially my parents. I think I passed all my exams, but the results will only be out by 7th Sept.

But, I want to say---> ON TO 3RD YEAR I GO!

LOL!

2010-07-26T16:20:00.003+05:30

Was too bored/sien studying. So I did this while studying. LOL max! (my hair looks so brown under flash)

Random Mumbles...

2010-07-24T22:14:00.010+05:30

Today is 24.7.2010. It has been one week since our block 4 exams ended. Means that one week of study break is gone. Means that it is one week nearer to unis. Means that I'm one week closer to ending this misery and going home. God I really hope that I will pass this.

My mind is already not really here. I really am already thinking about selling my stuff to juniors, MY EUROPE TRIP with Pat and going back to Melaka for my studies. Hope all will go well...

I really hate study breaks. Everyday when you wake up all you can think about is: I have to study the whole day and not waste time, if not you will end up feeling guilty. It is basically the same routine each day:eat-study-eat-study. Hope I can stay sane for this one month plus.

Meif went to HK last week. She told me that there is a really really BIG sale going on in HK. All branded stuffs are going on for 70% discount. She bought tons and tons of stuff. Made me feel SO jealous that she can have fun while I'm stuck in this hellhole. Well, who can I blame? It IS my decision to stay back in Manipal for my study break.

Was just browsing through FB pics and saw pics of Dine's and Kevin's birthday celebration in Tanahmas Hotel. Seems to be the same suite which they had my farewell party 2 years ago. It made me realise how much I miss hanging out with my old friends. I really miss them. Miss the fun we had in secondary school. My uni holidays are weird and somehow I always end up not being able to meet up with some of my close friends back home.

I'm currently obsessed with online shopping. I keep browsing through blogshops even though I can't really buy anything. Scared that nothing fits me. My wrong for being too fat. I really really really want to slim down but it is really really really (times infinity) difficult... I want to be hot too. I want to be able to wear all the nice clothes too. But too lose weight.... It has been a struggle since I gained weight about 4 years ago. Oh why did I eat so much... FML...

Hope this month will go by fast. Can't wait to go back to Sibu and meet up with friends..

Random photos from my 1st week of study break:

Cheese cake by me(instant mix)

Egg tart by my housemate

Brownie(instant mix) plus Baskin Robbins

Awesome wanton by our cook

Last but not least,

Stupid random pic of me(Too sien studying...)

By the way I changed my blogspot template again. Can't really seem to find one that I like.

22

2010-07-13T16:35:00.002+05:30

I was officially 22 yesterday.

What a way to start my day--->had Pharmac exam! The night before my friends surprised me with a cake. It was not exactly a surprise anyway because I heard them lighting the cake outside my place. HAHA! But kudos to their effort!

After Pharmac exams, few of us went to Udupi for prawn briyani then straight came back. I thought that my birthday was over just like that and was a bit disappointed but can't do anything because I know everyone is busy studying due to exams.

In the evening YiZhi called me and told me that the laundry person want to buy my fridge. As sleepy as I was, I went out. But suddenly she called me again saying the person is not free. So we went to the fruit stall to have fruit juice. I was talking on the phone to my parents so I did not suspect anything.

When we came back to my place, when they opened the door, there was my surprise! A lovely cake and a few close friends! Thanks Meif, Yizhi, Weevian, ShiJia, Marv and Fred for coming!

Next on to my birthday present!! Best present EVER! I was so touched! Meif found the time to do a birthday video for me! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I want to thank Chaw too for editing the video despite of having class test the next day. Thank you all who participated in the video, especially the few ones who took the time and made the video! You know who you are! :D:D

I was also VERY touched by the balloons! Meif blew most of them for meeeeeeeeeeee! Yizhi helped too! They gave up their afternoon nap although they slept only around 3 or 4 hours the night before. I AM SO TOUCHED AND GLAD I HAVE FRIENDS LIKE THIS!!

All in all it was a wonderful birthday despite the exams! Thanks to all who participated in my birthday, including the surprise, the videos and all the wishes on Facebook and SMSes.

p/s: The video can be seen on my Facebook!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Nail Polish!

2010-05-23T16:09:00.004+05:30

Decided to remove my toe nail polish.

Since I went to KL for my A levels I've began to use nail polish on my toes. I like pink shimmery nail polish the most. Since then I've always used nail polish on my toes. I think that maybe it is because of that my toe nails are now quite brittle. But I just can't help myself. I don't know why but I will always feel insecure when I don't have my toe nail polish on. It seems to me that my toe nails are ugly, that is why I need nail polish. LOL! Weird huh! But I've decided to rest my nails for one week or so till my block exams are over... Hope I can resist putting on nail polish LOL!

Usually I don't really use nail polish on my fingers. I'm quite a clumsy person. Somehow the nail polish always chips off after just a while. Maybe it is because I need to do chores and all!(Because I'm not a rich tai tai) I did french manicure at a saloon few weeks ago because there was some discount coupons and also because I've been wanting to do them since forever but it is expensive in Malaysia. Loved it! But it ended up chipped just after 2 or 3 days...

Oh, recently I bought an app for my iPhone. It is called WhatsApp. Jasper introduced it to me. Seems that you can chat with anyone all across the world who has iPhone or Blackberry for free using this app! ADD ME!!! Ask for my number through FB message if you want to add me! So happy to be able to talk to YM! Babe please talk to me once in a while miss u so much!

Ugh, blocks is in less than 2 weeks time. And here I am blogging... LOL! How ironic than usually when I am more free I don't feel the need to blog but when exams are coming I always blog more.

STUDY JOANNE STUDY!!

2010-05-21T17:39:00.003+05:30

Life sometimes can be like shit. Oh wait... Not sometimes. Is always!

Dad smsed me this afternoon and told me that my brother didn't get JPA scholarship. Poor thing. Worked so hard and yet his efforts are not recognized.

I remember how it was like when I did not get my scholarship as well. I was devastated. Cried so much on the way to school the next morning that my dad sent me back home instead to school. But God was good and my appeal got through.

I hope the same thing goes for my brother. But he seems more strong than me. Maybe is because if he did not get the scholarship my parents most probably will send him for A Levels, not like me who would have had to stay for Form 6 if I did not get JPA.

Anyway, hope that God will be good to my brother too this time and his appeal will get through or he will get a scholarship to local unis like IMU...

Good luck bro! Hope that things will turn out well for you! Do not be sad as this thing is not your fault! Pray hard.

HAPPY HAPPY!

2010-05-18T00:05:00.001+05:30

Was a little emo tonight because of series就想赖着你! Ella and Jerry were SO SWEET in episode 15!!! Don't know when can I find my Mr. Right... Haiz! It is just one of those times when I'll feel lonely and depressed for no particular reason. LOL!

Our lives will always be full of what ifs. There are always many many what ifs questions I like to ask myself. But is it of any use? We can't go backwards in time. Thinking that much about the past will just make us feel sad. Might as well just look forward and make each decision with care so that we will not regret.

Tonight me and my housemate made a decision we regretted not making from the first day we moved in. Since we moved in we applied for Airtel as people say it is the fastest connection in Manipal. Who knows the person in charge keep on cheating us time and time again. We were internetless for almost 3 weeks, just being able to go online with her SLOW Mahe line and also at my friend's place. Finally we decided to apply for BSNL. But that also means that we will be internetless for 2 more weeks. So we decided to ask our neighbours whether we can share line with them and we'll pay for it. They were very nice people and agreed.

I AM SO HAPPY I CAN ONLINE WITH DECENT CONNECTION! :D

Mangalore

2010-05-09T18:28:00.004+05:30

Went to Mangalore today with YiZhi just to watch Iron Man 2! Just got back not long ago... Exhausted.

Overall it was a good movie. I like Robert Downey Jr. He is a really good actor. There were many scenes throughout the movie which is funny. But I think that the bad guy went down a little too easy.

Plus, I splurged today! Got myself a new pair of RayBan... Couldn't help myself. Been wanting these for quite a long time but managed to hold myself back while in Malaysia. But.... LOL! Maybe it was meant to be mine. Haha!

New layout!

2010-05-08T11:14:00.002+05:30

I just changed my blog to a new layout. But I haven't figured it out completely. I can't find the usual blue bar on top of the page that let you write new posts and all. So I had to write this post by going back to blogger.com

Well, it has been almost 3 months since I last updated my blog. Was just too lazy to update because I usually post what I feel and what I think up either on Facebook or Twitter.

I've moved out of my hostel nearly 2 weeks ago. Moved into Pratham Residency with my friend. Hired a cook some more. It is cheaper than eating outside and more convenient as well. I do not need to fret over where and what to eat anymore. I think it is a good change although now I have to walk a further distance to school. Now that the weather is so hot, I usually find myself drenched in sweat when I reach school. Not good at all.

Oh, and I removed my braces 3 weeks ago. I still really don't know whether my decision to get braces was correct or not. Now I constantly live in fear that my teeth will go back to their crooked positions. LOL!

I think JPA results are coming out next week. I really really hope that my brother gets it. He worked very hard to get good results in his SPM. Hope he won't be disappointed. Will be praying for him.

Study wise, I think I'm not as hardworking as I was last block. I'm really beginning to worry about my block 3 exams which is in less than one month's time. EVEN more worried about my unis in August. How am I supposed to pass Pharmac? I really despise that subject. SO many drugs to remember... I don't think I can remember them all. Hopefully I'll pass my unis and be back permanently in Malaysia by middle of February! I'm SO looking forward to that.

Planned to go to Mangalore today to watch Iron Man 2 but having clinical skills classes in the afternoon. This sucks big time. Going to watch tomorrow. Now currently rotting in room, too lazy to do something productive.

Wooh. Long time didn't rant on blog already. This feels good. Hm.... Maybe I'll try to do this more often.

Happy Chinese New Year 2010!

2010-02-13T22:53:00.004+05:30

Although it is only 1053pm here in India, it is already past 12 am in Malaysia. So, Happy CNY to all of you celebrating out there. It is the tiger year already!

Just came back from Suk Ee's place. Had our Chinese reunion dinner there. Kudos to all those who prepared the food. Wantan was awesome. I also had my 1st experience to 'lou yu sang'! Never did this before in Sarawak. I guess that we don't really have this tradition going on in Sibu or is it just my family? There were also people who burnt their money for fireworks! At least I get to see some fireworks!

Called home and wished parents and brother happy chinese new year. It is the second year I'm not celebrating at home. I guess next year will be the same for me. So sad... T_T I miss helping my mum with chores, cleaning the house before the big day approaches, Making cakes, decorating the house, opening hampers, put money into angpow etc etc... It is only when you lose the chance of getting to do these stuff, you'll appreciate it. I'd rather be at home celebrating with my family.

But.... Wait. My block exams starts Thursday. And there is SHITLOADS to study, especially Pharmac, which I'm supposed to read for tonight but can't due to reunion dinner. I'm scared that I can't finish in time. But even if I finish I don't think I can remember at all. So what is the point of studying... Ironic huh??

I'll be going back home in less than 2 weeks time. Extremely psyched about it!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait. But this also indicates that the next time I come back to India, it will be pure torture with MSP and unis coming up... I'm already starting to imagine going back to Melaka permanently next year, provided I pass my second year unis(hopefully)...

Enought of my rantings! To all celebrating Chinese New Year out there, HAPPY CNY! Eat more, drink more, play more, get more angpow!!!

p/s: Oh and Happy Valentine's Day also. LOL!

Haiz....

2010-01-17T19:47:00.001+05:30

I don't like what I have become, or what I'm becoming.

I wish to change, but I don't know where to start, and I don't think I have the courage and the determination to change.

Just some random emo thought.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2010-01-02T00:22:00.000+05:30

It is a decade into 2 milleniums!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Last Day of 2009

2009-12-31T15:00:00.002+05:30

Today is the last day of 2009. Time really flies by very fast! Haven't been blogging consistently, but since it is the last day of the year, there must be a blog post to mark the end of the year(it is obligatory)!

This year has been a fruitful year for me. I passed my 1st year and successfully moved on to second year. Second year is much much tougher than the 1st year... MANY MANY things to study. Now each block exam is like finals... I really can't imagine what it will be like during unis. Scary huh!! I also acquired many new friends here. Can't wait to go back to Malaysia though.

Other than that, I see many people getting married. Some of my friends, relatives and also my friend's siblings. It really makes me feel my age. I want ti stay forever young but I know that it is impossible. We have to move forward with our lives. Hope that mine will turn out to be a good one!

It is going to be a sad New Year's Eve because we are having Pharmacology SDL test tomorrow. Ain't Manipal "great"? -_-||| Last year we had to study for PBL and this year SDL test. Wtf.... No fun countdown parties, no enjoying the last day of the year, stepping into a new year accompanied by my Pharmac book Tripathi... Sad case huh! Makes me miss Malaysia and Sibu even more.

Gotta go get ready for clinical skills lab already. Happy New Year everyone! Hope that 2010 will treat me better!

p/s: I really miss my old friends. Stay in touch ya!

Wallpaper!

2009-11-03T13:26:00.004+05:30

This is my new PC wallpaper. LOVING IT! (But the beauty of the wallpaper is spoiled by the blue toolbar! LOL!)

FIRST YEAR IS OFFICIALLY OVER!

2009-08-26T14:09:00.002+05:30

I'm SO HAPPY at the moment. I've just finished my first year exams!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!! SO happy!

I have been under much stress for the past month, worrying that I can't study finish in time, or worry that I'll fail. But so far so good. I think I should be able to pass all my subject. Here I want to thank all my friends who had supported me throughout the whole ordeal, especially Yi Zhi. Thank you all those who prayed for me. Thank my family too for supporting me. Most of all, thank God that I can do every paper!

How long has it been since I can just sit in front of my laptop and do nothing, no need to worry that I waste too much time playing and will not be able to study finish in time. It has been SO SO LONG!!!!!!!

I'm going to go Bangalore tomorrow to shop!!!!!!! Then next stop is KL! Then SIBU HOME SWEET HOME!!! I miss Sibu's food. Those in KL or in Sibu can call me up!

I CAN'T WAIT TO GO HOME! WOOH! It is time to P-L-A-Y!

End Of Blocks, Beginning of Preparation For Unis...

2009-07-24T16:12:00.002+05:30

I just finished my block 4 exams yesterday. I was SO relieved as I have been under pressure for the past 3 weeks. Finally I can take a break and sleep.

After exams yesterday, we took a taxi and went to Mangalore. We only had little time to look around but I managed to buy a few shirts. Watched Harry Potter first. The movie was nice but a little bit draggy. And I think that a lot of important things are left unexplained. But overall it was a nice movie. It was SO SAD when Dumbledore died. My friends even cried cause of that. We had only half and hour or so before Transformer began. So we had only some ice cream and burger. For me, Transformers was a little bit boring. TOO much action, too little story line. From the beginning till the end I kept on seeing things crashing and rubble flying everywhere.... Reached hostel at 1130pm and was exhausted.

I think that soon I would have to start preparation for my unis. I do not want to fail it at all. I hope I can get through it... When I start thinking about how much I have to read, I started feeling scared. One block is already A WHOLE LOT, what about 4 blocks combined together? I can't really imagine the ordeal that I'm going to go through these few weeks. Now I just hope that I have enough determination to really study well for my unis and get it over with faster so that I can go back to Malaysia!

I really miss home.

Life is killing me softly...

Anatomy Viva

2009-07-16T10:37:00.002+05:30

Just returned from Anatomy Viva. Damn sad now.

I knew how to answer some questions but some I don't know. I believe everyone is like that.

But, my lecturer said twice or thrice, "You did not do well." or "You did not study enough".

I know that I really did not study enough. But to hear her repeat it 2 or 3 times is really hurtful. She totally crumbled my confidence.

I know that I should not be sad. Everyone does not know how to answer some questions. And viva only accounts for 5 marks. But I just can't help it. Other lecturers did not criticize their students like this.

Damn sad. T_T

Haiz....

2009-07-12T00:12:00.002+05:30

Can't stop myself from crying.

Miss home so much. Miss parents so much. Feeling so sad that I'm not able to be at home.

Miss celebrating with family.

Tears, when will you stop?

Happy 21st To Myself

2009-07-11T23:45:00.003+05:30

I'm officially 21 already, either following Malaysia time or India's time.

Adulthood, seems so scary at the moment. With it comes lots of responsibilities, which I'm not good at handling. I hope to be able to mature and to handle responsibilities well... For now, the thing I want to improve most is my self-discipline! It is really important for a medic student to have good self-discipline, which is the one aspect I lack most. So far I've been lucky to have passed my exams. My uni exams are coming up soon.... Hope that I will pass them so that I'll not need to refresh year one.

This year's birthday.... I'm quite sad that I can't celebrate the most important year at home with my family. They can't be with me physically to celebrate my transition into adulthood. I miss my friends at home too! Many are back in Sibu already. Hope you guys have a good time!

I'm not able to really celebrate my birthday as the following week starting Monday there will be exams for 2 whole weeks. But I've had dinner with my friends at Cosmo Cafe just now. Thanks everyone who came in spite that they have to study for exams. I really appreciate it! Thanks for the nice present and wonderful cake as well! Glad to have friends who can celebrate my birthday with me. THANKS!

Might update pictures in Facebook or here tomorrow... I think I've grown fatter already. Haiz...

Happy 21st birthday to me!

p/s: I really miss home.... Feeling emo.. I'm always like this during exams...

LOL!! To Ian Eng!

2009-06-06T13:57:00.003+05:30

Ian insisted that I post this conversation on my blog! -_-

Ian has always managed to get only 2 responses from me. Either I think that he is DAMN LAME and I'll roll my eyes or DAMN FUNNY and I'll laugh hysterically!!! HAHA! I don't think we ever had any normal conversations! HAHA! I miss crapping with him and laughing over his weird and slightly retarded actions, which he always does to make us laugh. Haiz... Makes me miss my secondary school years and friends.

Self-Control & Discipline

2009-05-10T14:58:00.006+05:30

Been quite emo these few weeks. I just don't know why. There seemed to be a lot of problems in my life and many things that although I wish I can correct, but I just can't....

I don't really recall when did I lost my self-control. Was it when I was in secondary school? Or it was after I left home for A levels? I guess it can be said that I spiraled out of control. There are 3 aspects that I really would like to get back the self-control but somehow I just can't bring myself to do it. Maybe it's because I'm so used to living that way...

1st is studies. I'm in medicine right now and I can't quite afford to study last minute for exams. But I still do so and I'm ashamed of that. Yes, I believe in enjoying life. Life should not be all work and no play. I don't want to be a dull girl. But now my life is.... Kind of all play and little work. It is not right. But although I open my book and try to read, somehow I will end up chatting, surfing the net, playing with my handphone or just staring into space. I don't know what the heck is wrong with me.

2nd is eating. I was slim before(I know, don't laugh). But now I'm SO overweight. I want to go back to being a slim person. I want to be hot! Somehow again, I don't have enough self-control to stay away from all the tit bits and the junk food.

3rd is finance. I've been spending quite a lot of money and I don't like it but I can't help it. I like to buy stuff and I've really tried not to buy that much. This I'm kind of improving already but I'm still spending way too much money...

Maybe a part of me doesn't want to change things? Hah...

I don't really know where am I in life now. I'm lost and I don't really know where I'm heading to. Recently I've also became more easily irritated and little things would just get on my nerves. I miss having someone whom I can tell everything to. Someone who can listen and comfort me. I'm not saying that my friends are not good. It is just that I'm also afraid that I'll waste their time as not everyone is free to listen out all my woes over and over again. I know that I can turn to God and I have, but sometimes I just need someone to be there for me, someone whom I can tell everything to, and that person can be hard to come by. At this stage of life, everyone is busy with studies, assignments and all. I really don't expect much. I myself won't want to be bothered constantly by some emo people. I understand that others would not want the same thing too! I think I just wanted to rant on my blog...

Just some exams emo-ness I guess. UGH I FREAKING HATE EXAMS!

p/s: I was trying to find some salty titbits but I found out that all the titbits I posted from Malaysia are sweet ones. LOL! I NEED GOOD FOOD LA DAMN IT!!!!

Block 3

2009-05-08T10:51:00.002+05:30

Having my block 3 exams at the moment. Block 3 just flew by like tat. Wham! It ended in a jiffy. I felt like I haven't accomplished anything at all.... Sad huh!

I FREAKING HATE EXAMS!!!

Going to have my Anatomy Spotters later in the afternoon. It is the paper that I MOST fear of! Hope that I won't fail it!

Got to get back to studying.

Oh, did I mention? I FREAKING HATE EXAMS!!!

April Fools!

Back In India!

2009-03-26T21:08:00.013+05:30

I have disappeared from this blog for more than one month! :D

I'm currently back in Manipal already. Been here for almost 3 weeks. From next week onwards there will be a continuous flow of tests and presentations. My hectic schedule had already begun!

This is my timetable.

Just a quick update on what I have been up to since I came back to India.

My parcels

Contents of my parcels!

After getting out all the stuff inside

Stuff from my parcels! I regret not sending more stuff to eat!

I bought a hotplate for cooking purposes

This was my ex-fridge. I sold it to my friend after just one week of having it because I think that it was too small for me.

My current fridge

I bedazzled it. LOL!!

I absolutely love my new fridge. The old one was too small and I can't really put much stuff in it. With this fridge I can buy and store lots of food and drinks! I'm still considering whether to buy a rice cooker although my hotplate has the rice cooking function because it is quite troublesome to use one pot to cook vege and also rice.

In the first week, we had planned programmes for our juniors' orientation. I took part in a fashion show... As the juniors came at the same time as we did, we had only around 3 days to plan everything. The orientation turned out very well despite the short time frame we were given. Hooray Batch 23!! As a result, the dean awarded us a holiday on Monday for our hard work!

Me in baju kurung looking fat!(Ate too much in Malaysia)

Because Monday of the second week was a holiday, some of us decided to go to visit Turtle Bay, a beach 2 hours away from Manipal on Saturday. We took bus and also auto to the place. Initially we planned to stay there overnight. But there were no activities after we finished playing at the beach. So me, Yi Zhi and Kavitha came back that same night while some stayed there. Pictures are here. Actually there are some more must take pictures at the beach like jumping into the air or holding the sun in positions, but they are not with me. Might upload it when I get it from my friend.

Second week was normal and we had our daily classes from 8 till 4 or 5, which is very tiring!

This week, which is the third week, we have NO classes in the afternoon because of UTSAV. Most probably Saturday is going to be a holiday as well. YAY!!! UTSAV is like a huge celebration as many Manipal universities from all over India come to Manipal for competitions like dancing, singing and so on. Therefore we have no classes in the afternoon! It feels SO good to just have classes in the morning and to be able to rest in the afternoon, havin afternoon naps and all. But this all will end soon and next week I'll be busy busy busy!

I miss Malaysia a lot, especially my family and also HOTATE MAYO!!!

HOME!!!!!!!!!

2009-02-11T18:17:00.001+05:30

I'M BACK HOME IN SIBU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!

Actually I've been back since 7th February. It is just that these few days I'm so lazy to online and to update my blog because I'm busy watching TV and eating! Oh my Gosh I just love Sibu food!!!! The kampua, kompia and SUSHI TIE!!!!!!

Been home nearly one week already.. This time last week I was still struggling to study for my Physiology. Feel happy and yet sad at the same time. Happy because I'm at home now. Sad because I know that in 3 weeks time I'll have to go back to India. How I wish time could stop here because it will be a long long half a year before I'll come back... I love having nothing to do due to my hectic schedule in India.

When I go back, all the tests and studies will come back AND I HAVE TO HAVE MY UNIS before I'll be able to come back again. The unis is not something I'm looking forward to. SO MUCH to study yet SO LITTLE time. What a torturous half a year ahead. It is going to be worse than the 1st half a year.... I bet that by that time I'll feel like jumping off a building because of all the stress. Just hope that I can keep myself sane and pass the unis and come back and have fun!

HAIZ!!!!!! Don't really want to think about that now! Now I'll just concentrate on things I do better, which are eat, sleep and play!

WTF!!!

2009-01-29T14:46:00.001+05:30

I seriously don't know why these few days I'm quite "suai"! I keep on dropping things like spilling water....

This morning we are supposed to have our Physiology viva, where the lecturer will ask you some questions on what you have learnt in this particular block... My lecturer's office was on the ground floor. So I descended from the stairs to search for his office. Then the unthinkable happened...

I slipped and fell.... My butt hit the sharp angle of the stairs. I landed with a big thud. Everyone was looking at me... IT WAS SO PAINFUL!!!!!!!!

I tried to get up and succeeded, but felt so much pain. I nearly cried but I held back my tears. It was so painful can!!!! I thought the pain will go away but it remained. I was at a loss because I'm in pain but I had to take this viva... I think God blessed me. Suddenly I saw my mentor walking down the stairs when I was about to go find him. It saved me the trouble of climbing the stairs in pain to find him. He said that I should go and see doctor as soon as possible as injury to your spine can be very serious.

I insisted that I wanted to finish my viva. So my mentor spoke to my lecturer and I was allowed to go in earlier than my turn. I did not see this coming and was not emotionally prepared. Plus I was in pain at the moment. So when I was in the lecturer's office, my tears just fell out, not because of the viva but because of the pain and the feeling that something bad may happen to me. I think I was only able to answer about half of the questions the lecturer asked. Hope that I can pass the viva...

After that I came back to the hostel and got my hospital card. Yi Zhi went with me to the hospital. I was still in pain at the moment. They directed me to the trauma and emergency ward!! I was thinking, am I that serious??? I walked in and saw 2 patients. One had some hole in his head and the other had a swollen eye, strained his neck and broke his arm. I waited there for the doctor for very long.

I reached the hospital at around 930am. Waited for the doctor for half an hour before he attended to me. Then he said that I should have an x-ray. Yi Zhi then left because actually we have our final Anatomy spotters revision from 1030 till 1230pm. They brought me to get x-ray at 1040am. I thought they were quite efficient because the doctor warned me that I may have to wait for one hour... After the x-ray I went back to the trauma room and he asked me to lie down and rest while waiting for my x-ray. I lied down from 1110am till 1245pm!!!! He did not attend to me at all during that time except to tell me that I have some small crack in my coccix bone(spinal bone).

Yi Zhi and Mei Fang came to visit me at 1225pm. Up till 1245pm, I really needed to go to the toilet to pee. So I went to find the doctor. Then he just prescribed me some painkiller and some ointment and said that I can leave. He said that if I still feel not right by next Thursday then I'll have to come back for checkups. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you were going to prescribe me medication then you should have done it as soon as you got my x-ray!!! Why wait till I'm so impatient? WTF! He wasted like one and half hours of my time. I would have been back in my hostel room and gotten some real rest. WTF!!!!!!!!

Till now it still hurts... Hurts when I walk, but not too much, hurts when I bend down, hurts when I try to sit down or stand up. IT HURTS!!!

But thank God that it is nothing serious....

BUT DAMN IT, IT HURTS!!! And I'm going to have exams tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and next week... I think I'll have to just do my best and surrender the rest to God. There is nothing I can do already.

WTF WHY LIKE THIS! Haiz...............

Happy CNY!!

2009-01-27T10:19:00.004+05:30

Initially I thought my CNY is going to be a VERY sad one. But it turned out to be better than what I've expected, although the guilt of not studying for exams kept on appearing in my mind. I had comepletely no mood the study. It seems quite sad to study on CNY! Must play!

On CNY eve, we went to a bar restaurant called "Blue Water". It was quite a nice place!!! The food was nice too. I had some alcohol to drink. We camwhored and also played "Chau Dai Dee"! After that, I went on a bike!!!! This is my second time on a bike! It was AWESOME! So exhilarating! My 1st time was when I was very very young and I could not quite remember. I spent the time playing cards with my friends until it was midnight. Then I had to return to my hostel as there is curfew. Watched CSI till 1a.m. I really miss having dinner with my family although the night was quite fun..

On CHU 1, I woke up at 9a.m. So happy because I can wear my new blouse! We went out for lunch at Hotel ValleyView. Ate quite a sumptuous lunch and I topped it with a slice of chocolate cake which was too sweet for my liking. Somehow our friends all like to play cards. We played in the hotel, played in the foodcourt and then proceeded to the grassy patch outside the guys' hostel. There we played blackjack and gambled. I think I lost some money, but not much. Came back to hostel to sleep and then went to dinner at China Valley. Came back to room with Yi Zhi and Mei Fang and we played "Chau Dai Dee" while gambling and listening to CNY songs on youtube! I won money!!! SO happy!

That was how I celebrated CNY! Thank God for these friends... If not I think I might have a very sad CNY!

Today is just Chu 2. Usually I'll follow my family to go to Sarikei to visit my grandmother and to meet up with my mother's side relatives... We will have lunch together before we leave Sarikei and I'll continue to go visiting with my friends when we are back to Sibu. This year however, I can't do so... :( I just came back from Anatomy revision and later am going to Histology revision...

What a sad way to celebrate Chu 2 but I can't complain. Had fun yesterday. Today got to study already. I haven't started studying because I was emo-ing the last few days... I really don't know how will I manage to finish everything.... By God's grace it will be...

The mandarin oranges that Sze Chiang bought for me!

Camwhoring on 1st day of CNY!

I think I'll upload the other photos either here or on Facebook when I get the complete set of it! Gotta go now! Wish you all a Happy CNY!!

p/s: I'm SO looking forward to go back to Sibu next Friday. Just have to get through this one week plus! KAMBADE!

CNY Eve!

2009-01-25T15:53:00.002+05:30

Today is CNY eve.... I feel so sad for not being able to be at home to help....

During the years when I was at home, usually we are very busy on CNY eve. Mum will cook chicken soup for CNY to drink together with "chang sou mian". Then I mostly will help her make cake and clean the house. Dad and bro will move around the furniture and decorate the house after dinner. The part I miss most is helping Dad to pack the ang paos with money. I really enjoy that job very much!!! And I also miss watching CNY programme while opening hampers with my family.

In Sibu, as the clock strikes 12, the fireworks will start sprouting like mad! It will go on for at least one hour until the whole sky is filled with smoke and it will be so smelly till I will feel like choking. Then we will wish each other Happy CNY through MSN or smses or calls. After that I'll go to sleep feeling happy that the next few days I can wear new clothes, eat lots of junk food and also get ang pao while visiting other people's houses.

OMG I MISS CNY TUAN YUAN FAN LA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Completely down and no mood at all to study... Feel like crying... I think the feeling will be worse tomorrow. Haiz...

I MISS CELEBRATING CNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No CNY for me... T_T

2009-01-23T15:56:00.004+05:30

Finally able to online after 2 days! For the last 2 days there was something wrong with the DNS server. Luckily my friend knows how to get alternate server and now I'm able to online! I think I've become an internet addict already. Without Internet I really feel down and sad for not being able to surf the net or to download stuff...

Feeling quite blue these few days...

My block exams are coming already and I'm totally not prepared at all. I haven't started to revise and usually I don't study on a daily basis as well. This makes preparation for my blocks more difficult as there is a MASSIVE amount of stuff to read. What makes it worst is that there is viva for Physiology, the subject that I dislike most in this block.. It means that I have to finish reading EVERYTHING before my viva which is on next Thursday.(Viva is where a lecturer will ask you questions and you'll have to answer) Then in between there is an Anatomy class test... OH MY GOSH! How am I supposed to manage all this??? They rush too much and then push all the tests towards the end. They should give us like one week of study leave. With so many practical exams and tests and viva going on, how am I supposed to prepare for my block exams??? I really have no idea whatsoever!

Physiology practicals will be more tough this time as it is not all writing. There are stations where you'll have to perform tasks while explaning to the lecturer marking your performance. We have to do things like measuring blood pressure, CPR, spirometer thing and all...

This year will be the 1st year that I'm not celebrating CNY in Malaysia. SO SAD CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss the food, the people, the visiting and not to mention the "angpao" as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Feel so sad while reading the blogs of those who are in Sibu at this moment. Miss the CNY atmosphere... Miss all the junk food as well as the good food. Miss the "angpao". Miss seeing relatives that I've not seen for a long time. Miss car-pooling to go visiting... Even to some extent, I miss the CNY songs as well. -_-

I think it'll be 2 or 3 more years before I'll be able to celebrate CNY. By then I would have grown up to be an adult. Will I still like CNY as much as I do now? Plus I'm also not sure whether there is holidays for CNY in MMMC... OMG I MISS CNY!

I don't think I'll be able to celebrate CNY although the day IS a holiday. Too much to do yet too little time. The only comfort I can get is that I'm going to go back in 2 weeks time! I'll get to celebrate "Chap Goh Mei"! But then by that time most of the friends and relatives have already gone back to where they came from... What a sad thing!

Here is my hectic schedule:
24/1 : Physiology Test
28/1 : Anatomy Test
29/1 : Physiology Viva
30/1 : Anatomy & Histology Spotters
31/1 : Physiology Practical Exam
3/2 : Anatomy Exam
4/2 : Physiology Exam
5/2 : Biochemistry Exam (Written plus practical)

OH! And in between I have to go to Udupi to get the exit permit to leave India... SO TROUBLESOME! We are so busy and yet they expect us to go get permit some more. -_-

WTF! WHY IS MY LIFE LIKE THIS!!!! I see medic students in other countries like Ireland don't seem as stressed as us. They have four months of holidays per year while we only have two months. Plus they get to go to places like Switzerland and Paris during holidays!!!! T_T

7/2: GOING BACK TO MALAYSIA!!!!!!!!!

Hm... This cheers me up a little... But there are many obstacles ahead. HAIH........................ Have to start studying today already..

New Year, New Room, New Hostel

2009-01-04T17:12:00.012+05:30

3rd January 2009, I moved out from Sharada Hostel in the afternoon. I was supposed to move one week earlier but they did not have any vacant rooms. So I can only move on the 3rd. I was quite excited to move as this means that no more walking for a long distance to reach my lecture hall!!!

I started packing my stuff at around 2 p.m. I did not realize that I had accumulated so many things until I tried to pack my stuff.. Wooh.... Luckily the hostel cleaners helped me load my stuff onto the auto and into my new room. All I had to do was pack and unpack my stuff AND also pay the cleaners for their help! Yi Zhi also moved along with me and now we are neighbours!

My Sharada room after I've moved half of my things.

My Sharada bathroom!

Bye Sharada room 311!

My new room!!!

Big cupboard!

Bigger and nicer toilet!

Sort of kitchen sink. Now I don't need to wash dishes in toilet sink! Woo Hoo!

The lecture hall is just opposite my new hostel!

I'm loving my new room, although it really costs much more than my old room. My new hostel, New Chandrashekar hostel has a lift, so I will not need to climb up the flight of stairs to reach my room anymore. Plus it is SO near to the lecture hall!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D

Despite all of this,I miss my old room too! Hehe...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2009-01-01T21:38:00.002+05:30

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009~~!!

Oh my gosh I've turned 21 this year already. In other people's eyes 21 is the age where the transition is made from an adolescent to an adult. I just cannot believe that I've become an adult! Personally, I hate growing up! I prefer to remain as a child where I can be frus-free and I won't have a lot of responsibilities... However I really thank God for keeping me safe till I am this old. :D

New Year here in Manipal is SO boring. There was no countdown at all last night, so me and my friends decided just to go out and have a drink. I had banana milkshake... We had to rush back to the hostel so that we will not be locked outside the hostel. What a sad and boring way to celebrate the beginning of a new year. What's more is that we haf PBl presentation today. Spent my time last night studying... Then today had class until 4 p.m. some more... Then I had gastric this morning some more... HAIZ!!!!

Don't know what else to say already! Just wanna wish everyone HAPPY NEW YEAR! Miss all my friends out there! :D

Last Day of 2008

2008-12-31T23:24:00.002+05:30

Now it is the last half an hour of the year 2008.... And I am trapped in my room because there is no countdown in Manipal and because I am having PBL Presentation at 8 tomorrow morning... What a way to start my new year... Feeling sad now because there is no countdown!!!!!

Looking back, this year really flew by VERY fast. I've completed my A-Levels and started life as a Uni student! Being in India, I really miss friends, family and food in Malaysia. But I have to be thankful for what I have and I AM grateful towards God for giving me a good life along with many good things in it like a good family and good friends. Basically I can't complain much about my life.
:D

Hm... Being grateful IS a good way to wrap up a year isn't it??

LOL!

2008-12-21T16:02:00.001+05:30

I've just noticed that recently I like to say that my blog posts are random AND I like to p/s.

LOL!!!

Happy Dong Zhi!

2008-12-21T15:34:00.003+05:30

I just got off the phone with my mummy! I miss home SO MUCH, especially at this festive season.

Today is Dong Zhi. Dong Zhi is a festival that Chinese celebrate by eating a dessert-like dish called "Tang Yuan". I always will help my mum to make them during this festival. I particularly like to have the soup one, loving the sweet soup and the soft "Tang Yuan". My family is going out for dinner now. MISS THEM SO MUCH!!! Plus Christmas and New Year are just around the corner and this year I do not get to celebrate them with my family and friends at home! Especially I'll miss the Christmas Party that YM organizes every year!(although I think this year there is no party because it is too much of a hassle to organize and not many people will be in Sibu.)

I MISS MALAYSIA!!!!!!!!!! T_T

Anyway I haven't updated in a long long long time due to laziness. Here is some updates on my life recently!

1. I've gotten back my block exam results and they were okay... Although not very outstanding but at least I passed every subject. I think that should be the result that I should be getting for studying last minute. Anyway I think my results are still okay okay... Must work harder this block. But I just can't bring myself to studying everyday!! Tomorrow having Anatomy class test 1 and I have just studied 2 pages... T_T I think I'm an internet addict. As long as my laptop is on there I can't resist but to click on anything on my laptop and just can't stop. But even if my laptop is not on my attention span for studying is not that long also! Ugh! I don't want to be this way! I want to be hardworking and get excellent results! :(

2. In my second block now! 6++ more weeks to going home! SO excited! Can't wait to go home and stuff myself with local food and become fatter!!! I MISS MALAYSIA!!! I miss Malaysia food!!! The kampua, sushi, western meals and Mum's cooking!

3. I had fun last last week during my trip to Bangalore! I think I overspent but what the heck!!! At least I had lots of fun and had a happy trip! Will try to post some pictures up here if I feel like it. Or just go check out my Facebook account, the photo albums are there. I am so happy because Lacoste and Tommy Hilfiger here are much cheaper if compared to Malaysia! :D I heart Hard Rock Cafe too! The food was just FANTASTIC!

I think that is all... Oh oh... I have my Physiology PBL presentation on New Year's Day!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!! No holidays on that day! Meaning I can't go out till to late for countdown and stuff as I have to prepare for the PBL and my presentation is at 8 freaking A.M!!!! T_T Such a spoiler for my festive mood!

And I cannot not stress again how much I MISS MALAYSIA(times infinity)!!!!!!!!!!

To all friends out there everywhere, I miss hanging out with you guys SO much!!! Please come chat with me on MSN or leave a comment on Facebook or if anyone wants to call me in India can get my number from me(I doubt that anyone would want to...)!!! Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!

LOL! This post turned out to be so random...

p/s: Reserve some Christmas presents and ang pao for me PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE???

Christmas! Not here yet la...

2008-11-30T20:22:00.017+05:30

Last night my church, Bread of Life, had their Christmas celebration. Don't ask me why is it that early! But we church members are welcomed to invite our friends. We had quite a fun night! I do not have all the pictures with me but here are some I got from Facebook! I really want to thank the church for organising it. They put a lot of effort in preparing the decorations, the food and the programme as well. Well done Bread of Life!

The decorations. (Don't know whose hand is that)

Us with the decorations! I like this picture!

We also took a picture with the Christmas tree in church.

After church they all went to Hot & Spicy to have dinner but me, Yi Zhi and Sze Chiang decided not to. We ended up visiting the liquor store just downstairs of my church as my church is situated in a hotel(not a very nice one though. You guys should know what to expect in Manipal).

1st time I saw packeted liquor, and the alcohol content was quite high too!

Booze!

Although it was a small shop, but it had got all kinds of booze! They even have Chivas! Don't get me wrong. I just visited the shop but did not buy any booze at all!!! I'm very guai le! :D:D

Oh oh oh! Some more stuff I have to write about. Yesterday I discovered the MOST delicious chicken rice in Manipal. It was at Basil. The boss worked in Malaysia for 10 years I think. The rice was OMG and the chilli sauce was even more to die for. It taste EXACTLY the same as Malaysia's chicken rice! It was SO yummy! I had it for lunch and dinner yesterday and lunch today. However it IS a little pricey at 80 rupees(about RM7). But the chili sauce is just SO good!

LOL!! Too eager to eat till I forgot to take picture until I'm halfway through!

The to-die-for chili sauce! I'm drooling all over my desk....

Oh I also want to blog about these little packets of cakes I discovered. They look SO yummy but I haven't tried them yet. Can't find these in Malaysia I think! It is kind of like supposed to be made in UK but I think they manufactured it here in India.

They look so nice right!

My shelf of goodies. Bought all here except the Honey Stars which Pat mailed to me!There are some more food but I'm just lazy to take a photo!

I wanted to change my blogspot template because I think it is too gloomy. Now whenever I look at my blog I feel depressed because it is just SO dark! I don't like the other template that blogspot provides so I went searching on the web. I found one template that I liked but could not seem to load it to blogspot's layout I don't know why. Anyone knows??? Can teach me?

LOL! My post ended up being not really that relevant to my title! Haha! Going to have my histology spotters tomorrow. Wish me luck ya!

p/s: YM I WANT CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!! :D:D:D:D

p/p/s: Is there anyone who wants to send some food to me from anywhere?? Get my address from me! (Don't think anyone would want to...)

Just another random thought. I feel that this blog post very...... WEIRD! Like it was all over the place and so messy. LOL!

WOO HOO!!

2008-11-28T16:43:00.004+05:30

I finished my block exams already!!! SO HAPPY! Eh, actually there is another histology spotters on Monday but I don't care already! SO HAPPY!!

I've been ecstatic since last night. Can't believe that my block exams are over already! I can get back to my normal life, which includes some movie watching time!!!! I'm SO relieved!!!

However, we started our second block classes this afternoon... -_- We had no break in between at all. Quite tired although I slept for more than 9 hours last night. Physically and mentally tired.

Actually I am in dilemma now!

First, I planned to go to Bangalore next weekend because Monday is a holiday. I wanted to go do some shopping SO badly!!! I was so happy that the day is finally coming when yesterday something bad happened. Mumbai was bombed by terrorists in 10 places and the terrorists held many hostages and many many people died! When I heard of it I was quite scared to go to Bangalore... I've had my doubts. I was dilemma-ing whether to go or not as most of my friends do not want to go anymore because of the fear that the terrorists might target Bangalore next. I really really really want to go shopping! I think I'll be going with Mei Fang by plane because it is safer although it is freaking more expensive! But we will go find a budget hotel to stay in as I don't think terrorists will target small small hotels! HOW???

Then, the hostel dilemma. Since 2 months ago I was in a dilemma whether to move to Chandrashekar or to Sonia. Sonia is at the same price as my current hostel. Sonia air-con room=Chandrashekar non air-con room for one whole year! And Chandrashekar most probably will not have any non air-con room so I most probably have to take the air con room, which is quite expensive!! But the up side to living in Chandrashekar is that it is SO near to the lecture hall! The building itself is just right behind our lecture hall! I'm sick of walking so far everyday to the lecture hall. Sonia is nearer than Sharada but still it is considered far... Imagine during summer or monsoon season that I have to walk that far. I'll sweat till my whole body is wet or I'll be caught in the crazily heavy rain and be wet from head to toe because of the extra walking distance. When I think of that I want to stay in Chandrashekar BUT when I think of the price I really will reconsider because I want to save money.. Now in a dilemma. HOW????? Can anyone tell me what should I do?

Thirdly, I do not know whether I should get an IPhone or not!!! I saw it when I went to the shop to reload my phone... It is SO NICE! I SO WANT IT!! But then it is SO fragile. Once you drop it then it is gone! You'll have to send it for repair... Should I get it or not??? It is really damn freaking beautiful! Or should I wait until I go back to Malaysia in February to get the HTC Diamond Touch because the camera is better than IPhone! Or should I save money and not buy any one at all?? But I SO love IPhone! DILEMMA!!!

I-Phone!!! SO beautiful!

HTC Diamond Touch!

Oh how I HATE dilemmas!!! I don't really deal well with dilemmas! Why do we have to make so many choices in life... :(

Never mind about that. Most probably I'll go to Bangalore AND move to Chandrashekar. LOL!!!

I want to download the newest episode of Grey's Anatomy but somehow no links are out yet! :( I was SO looking forward to watch it! :(

Oh what a random post!

Thinner or not thinner??

2008-11-24T21:50:00.007+05:30

The photo above caused a little controversy between me, Sabrina and Huong Eng. They both insisted that I lost weight. LOL!! Like that would ever happen... I argued that it was because of the pose and the colour of my top that made me look thinner. But they still insisted that I lost some weight.

For 2 years or so now I have been grappling with this weight issue. A lot of people asked me to slim down as I looked quite attractive while I was slim. My mum now chides me everyday to slim down.... She said that I'm actually quite pretty but I'm too fat now. I admit that I AM bloated now. I also want to slim down but I can't! I tend to eat more when I'm under stress. Now that I'm in med school, I'm constantly under stress. Hence, I eat more! You tell me la how to slim down if like that. LOL!!

As you can see in this photo my arms and thighs still VERY big. Where got slim down you tell me!!! LOL!!! :(

I want to lose weight..... I want to be a hot chick.... I want to be able to wear a bikini and sexy cloths and look good in them... Anyone care to sponsor me to go to Marie France Bodyline or New York Weight Management??? Pretty please?????

p/s: Tomorrow I'll be having Anatomy exam but I'm still procrastinating here... LOL! Really hope that I won't flunk my exam...

p/p/s: May be going to Bangalore to do some shopping next weekend!! Hope that Kavitha can make it, then we can go earlier and have an extra day to shop!! I'm SO looking forward to that! Hope that I'll not be disappointed!

p/p/p/s: I'm so sad that I'll not be able to make it to the christmas party that Ym always organizes reach year! This year it may even be in the presidential suite of a hotel if there are many people who are going. I WANT TO GO TOO!!! I mean how many chances in your life that you can go can play in a presidential suite!! So sad now. T_T I miss my friends...

Block Exams..

2008-11-24T16:35:00.002+05:30

Had my first exam for my first block exams in MMMC.

Today we had our Anatomy spotters. Specimens are set up in the dissection hall. There were 25 stations all together plus 7 rest stations. We can only remain at each station for ONE FREAKING MINUTE! We were required to answer 2 or 3 questions per station about the tied or pinned structure on the specimen.

Time was too short! Either you spend too much time trying to identify the structure, or you spend too much time thinking about the answers to your questions. I felt that there was not even time to write! ONE minute is TOO short!!

I think I did not even manage to pass this paper. Some I did not read for, some I really mixed it up with other structures, some I did not answer.

Was completely devastated and disappointed in myself after the exam. It has been a long time since I've felt SO SO moody. I did not feel like talking and it feels like I was floating in the air aimlessly.

I'm sure in the future this kind of feeling will come to me very often... It is not that I did not study, it is just that there are TOO MANY THINGS to remember. Okay, maybe I did not give it my best, but still..... No wonder people say med school is torturous. Now I understand.

Have to keep on studying for other papers although I really do not have the mood already... *SIGHS*

Annual Night!

2008-11-21T22:51:00.004+05:30

I just came back from MMMC Annual Night. It was AWESOME!!!!

Took a lot of photos with friends and had a blast!

SO glad that I went despite my block exams next week.

Will update soon right after the block exams.

Wish me luck and pray for me ya!!!!

Trying desperately to look sexy and fails MISERABLY!

Till then, ciao!

p/s: So happy that I finally got to wear my TopShop top! Love it!

Aftermath of Biochemistry test

2008-10-25T15:50:00.013+05:30

I've loved chocolate for a long long time, ever since way way before!! Although chocolate is a sinful pleasure, I still love it. It kind of helps me to de-stress a little. However that is not the main point.

Today, after my horrible Biochemistry test, we went to the shops behind the huge stage in Manipal. There, I found a shop that sells quite a lot of chocolates! :D Sze Chiang was the one who found the place initially. She brought me and Yi Zhi there today. They were selling some chocolates that Malaysia doesn't have! Being the chocolate lover I am, I of course bought some! :D Made my day brighter although I did not go to Mangalore(though I wanted to) because the trip is tiring... Ended up buying chocolates to eat! :D

Anyway these are the chocolates(plus candy) I bought:

My stack of goodies (208 rupees)

Cadbury! Did not see these at all in Malaysia. (45 rupees each)

Snickers and Mars (30 rupees each)

Cadbury! (23 rupees)

Kit Kat (10 rupees)

Fruit-tella but with weird writings on it. (25 rupees)

RM1=12 rupees. Go figure the price.Chocolate in India is comparatively a little cheaper than in Malaysia.

In India there is also a shop(I think) that sells coffee which is kind of like Starbucks(I MISS STARBUCKS)! The coffee is quite nice. Though not as good as Starbucks, it is the best you can get here in Manipal and it is cheap!! I bought a "Heavenly Caramel" today and it is only 55 rupees!! :D I also bought a cup/mug from them as I don't like my current cup because it is too small and ugly!

My current cup

My new cup in its cute box!

Front view

Back view

I like my newer cup becuse it is bigger and similar in size to the cups I use back home.

Ok, I know this post is stupid but I'm bored!!! :D

Dashed Hopes

2008-10-24T20:43:00.003+05:30

Today my classmate Kavitha said she is going to Mangalore tomorrow. When I asked her what shops are there in the shopping mall in Mangalore, she told me got Esprit. I WAS VERY VERY VERY FREAKING HAPPY AND EXCITED. I was planning to go with them even though it is a 2-hour extremely bumpy ride to Mangalore.(I hate long rides)

I just found out that there is no Esprit in Mangalore at all... Kavitha made a mistake... There is only Reebok, Adidas, Levi's, and United Colours of Benetton there. Others are all Indian shop. In Manipal there are already Reebok and Adidas... My friend Mei Fang said the Levi's is only a small small shop.

SO SAD AND DISAPPOINTED. I really thought I could go get myself some clothes, slippers and maybe a handbag from Esprit.

Now all hopes are dashed... T_T

I WANT TO SHOP BUT THERE IS NOWHERE FOR ME TO GO SHOPPING... Miss KL SO MUCH...

p/s: Thank you to all who showed support and gave me positive comments on how good a person I am. I am really really VERY touched!! So happy to know many people think good of me. Made me feel much better although I can't go shopping... ARGH! The aching feeling to shop... Hope it'll go away...

Cravings (plus a small thought)

2008-10-20T22:02:00.011+05:30

If Yi Zhi had not commented about this I would not have noticed.

Recently I've been all whiny and kept on complaining about the stuff here in India. To tell the truth I really have a lot of cravings.

These below are my cravings:

1. TV( I miss watching TV)
2. Lipton Milk Tea

3. Chili's food

4. Campbell Mushroom Soup
5. Beef
6. Starbucks(My favourite is Caramel Macchiato!)

Pat was in the background. LOL!

7. SHOPPING!
8. I WANT TO GO HOME!!!!

There are more but I can't remember at the moment.

My newest craving, the craving that I have for today is SUSHI. I DAMN MISS SUSHI(Japanese food)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss Sushi Tie in Sibu, I miss Sushi King and Sakae Sushi in KL! I miss the sushis I always eat in Sushi Tie, I miss the bibimba I always eat in Sakae Sushi. I MISS SUSHI A LOT!!! *salivating* Can anyone DHL or whatever way send me some sushi?(I know that is impossible. Just dreaming....)

Sushi from Sushi Tie. I MISS THEM!!

Sushi from Shogun.

Enough about the cravings. Now I wanna go on bout my small thought. Through a conversation last night with someone, I began having doubts about myself. Lets say this person is X and the other person is Y. X said that he/she talked shit about me with Y. X said I've changed not for the better, but for worse. X asked me to compare myself before studying in SMK Methodist and after going to KL to study. I kept on asking X to tell me what did I do that I deserve to have people talk shit behind my back. X refused to tell me the reason and asked me to ask my friends myself.

For that moment or two, I was really sad. I kept on thinking whether I was that bad or not. I kept on thinking who did I not treat right. I always have tried my best to treat people well because that was the way that I would want others to treat me. I thought that I was successful in doing so but now, someone was saying that I've changed for the worse?? X did not use those exact words but it was what X meant.

I sent smses to my friends because I really wanted to know about my flaws and maybe change into a better person. Cheng Ing said that I'm a good friend and if I'm not she would not have tolerated me for so long. She asked me to be myself and not to care what they say because I'm a good person. Ym, sorry for letting you worry about me again. I really miss talking to you! Thanks for supporting me always, even though at times I doubt myself. Thank you both for comforting me. At least now I know that I'm not that bad a person as I thought I've became. It is good to hear some people's critics once in a while. It is good to change for the better. But sometimes not everything people say are true.

Well. Maybe I mistreated X or Y in some way?? I really don't know! HAIYA I don't want to care that much. I have to study for my upcoming Biochemistry test and PBL presentation.

Joanne, JIA YOU! *sighs*

p/s: The small thought turned out to be a LONG thought. LOL!

Update: Thanks to all the friends who stood up for me. I found out that they were not exactly talking shit about me, just talking about my spending and eating habit which they don't like. LOL!! To me, talking shit is like A SERIOUS THING and the person that is being "talked shit" about is either a bitch or someone VERY bad. Apparently to them, it was just a simple talk between guy to guy. -_- Needless to say, I think I overreacted again. wtf-_- Can someone find me a hole that I can bury myself in?? Now I feel SO sorry towards Y...

Phew....

2008-10-18T21:27:00.000+05:30

I'm relaxing, at least for today.

Had my physiology class test today. I am SO relieved that it is Saturday although I did badly in my physiology test. At least I did okay in my PBL presentation on Thursday.

It has been one EXHAUSTING week. I've had gastric since Monday. I went to one clinic and one hospital. The gastric has put me through near hell this week with the constant pain. I don't really know what is causing the gastric up till now but at least it is not that painful anymore.

I've had to prepare for my PBL presentation. I was SO nervous about it because the Tuesday batch said that the lecturer was very mean and likes to humiliate people. I was under much pressure and was VERY nervous. I did not get to present the part I was most confident in. Luckily the lecturer said I was pleasant and always smiled during my presentation and he said I did okay. So I guess.... I was okay then. LOL!

I had my physiology test today. Only started studying last night because I was too exhausted to study in Thursday night. Guess what happened? Yeah. I had severe headache since yesterday afternoon. I can't quite concentrate and just quickly skimmed through the pages. Hence, the bad results today. Although I DID pass, but I'm not happy AT ALL with the results. I could have done better as this was an easy paper.

I had the luxury to sleep this afternoon. Thought I'll have a nice 3 hour nap but ending up having only one hour because for whatever reasons I could not sleep. Actually we have a chinese orientation tonight for all the chinese in MMMC but I decided not to go because I was too lazy. I think all JPA chinese students in my batch did not go. The people might think that we are arrogant and full of ourselves or maybe they'll think we too kia su and keep on studying but what the heck. I'm too lazy to bother.

Went to Basil for dinner with Sze Chiang and Yi Zhi instead. Had a decent meal of Alfredo pasta. Now sitting in my room surfing the net and blogging and will be sleeping soon because tomorrow I have to go to church. I really don't feel like going to church because I want to sleep late without having to set any alarm and Sunday is the only day I can do so. But I HAVE to go to church!! Must go to church! :( If there are services on Saturday evening for sure I will opt to go to that service..

Enough with resting today. Tomorrow I guess I'll have to start studying again. I have to study for Monday's dissection class about the palm region. There will be a physiology PBL presentation on Thursday and Biochemistry test on Saturday which involves essay as well, meaning I'll have to study more thoroughly. Most probably I'll procastinate tomorrow.

UGH I hate my life now.

p/s: I MISS SHOPPING AND MALAYSIA FOOD!!! Food here no matter how good is still of no comparison to Malaysia food. T_T

One month!

2008-10-13T21:18:00.001+05:30

It has been one month since I first set foot in Manipal, India ... I remembered being exhausted because of lack of sleep and my feet were aching because of the heels I was wearing.

The first day, I was SO overwhelmed by this place. The condition of the roads and the shops were terrible, much more terrible compared to Sibu. Everything here is old, rundown and kind of dirty. Only the library and the lecture hall were buildings that are.... well, like buildings. The whole place looks so old and dusty. At that moment, I really regretted coming to India. I kept on thinking what will happen if I had not taken up JPA in the first place. Now I would probably be in one of the local unis in Malaysia, my dear dear Malaysia.

OMG. I miss home SO MUCH! I miss Malaysia SO much! I miss my family, I miss my home, I miss the food in Malaysia, I miss SHOPPING and I miss my friends....

I thought I would not be strong enough to survive in India. I'm not not the type of person who can withstand poor circumstances. But God has protected me and here I am, already one month in India.

I still am not used to having to study on a regular basis and still am not studying on a regular basis. I'm still not used to having classes on Saturdays and only have Sundays off. I'm still not used to not having any one-week holidays at all. I'm still not used to having to walk far to my lecture hall. I'm still not used to India. Maybe it takes time... Please keep me in your prayers!!

Counting down the days before I can set foot in Malaysia again. Happy one month anniversary in Manipal! :(

In India!

2008-10-08T10:20:00.000+05:30

Hey! I finally have some time to update my blog. I am now in Manipal, India!

Things have been so hectic and packed since I've been here. The study schedule is CRAZY! Monday to Friday I have classes form 8 a.m till 4 or 5 p.m. Saturday there is class from 8 till 10 a.m. Now sleeping is also a luxury. Thank God today is a holiday. And they DO NOT have holidays like one week in between. Just a day here and there and only in October. Imagine all the other months where I have classes 6 days a week. I hope I'll still be sane at the end of all this.

I just had my first anatomy test on Monday. I did not study much for it therefore I don't think i did really well. I just am still not yet accustomed to having to study everyday. I still don't do it because I hate it! Whole day at school already and I have to study again when I come back to my room? Unthinkable! I still HAVE to pick up the habit sooner or later.

To all friends who are concerned, I'm ok here. It is not as bad as people say it would be, but it is is bad. The roads here are like crap, and hell dusty. Once a car drives by, there will be dust everywhere. I MISS MALAYSIA FOOD TOO!!!!! Food here is okay, not VERY Indian-ish, but still it is nothing compared to Malaysia food. I miss kampua, mum's cooking, bak kut teh etc. Practically I miss everything in Malaysia.

Here there are only some little grocery shops to buy stuff. I never thought I would say this, but I miss Shah Alam a lot. Although there is only one crappy Giant and Mydin, it is still FAR better than here. -_- Imagine my life here. Plus in Shah Alam I can travel to shopping malls easily. But here?? I think the nearest shopping mall is in Mangalore, which is 3 hours of BUMPY bus ride away and I have no time to go shopping at all.

Things here are not as cheap as everyone thought it would be. As there are many foreign students here, the shops jacked up prices of stuff. I heard people saying that the stuff here are more expensive than many parts of India. The juices here are cheap, biscuits here are quite cheap. But imported stuff is FREAKING expensive. One box of cornflakes is around rm12.
One box of imported cereal (I forgot the name) is around rm22 when in Malaysia it is only half the price.

People here also do things VERY slowly. It took 3 weeks before I could use the money in my bank account. Luckily I brought enough money along with me, if not I could have died or starvation. LOL! Plus I waited 3 FREAKING WHOLE WEEKS for my internet to be installed. First I went to the office to fill in the forms. Then they ask me to come the next day to pay deposit. I asked them why can't I pay on that day itself. They insisted I come the next day. I paid and waited for people to come install my phone line. They keep on saying tomorrow tomorrow. WTF! I waited 3 or 4 days. Then they say they'll phone me to ask me go to pay the rest of my bill, for the modem and stuff. They say they will call me in a few days. A FEW FREAKING DAYS. Then I paid. Then they promise they'll do the things on 1st Oct. When me and Yi Zhi went to pester them on that day, they say they cant do it because of holidays. If we want it to be fast we'll have to bring our laptop to them for them to put the settings in our laptop. I finally got my connection on 4th Oct after much sweat. WHY CAN'T THEY JUST DO IT IN 2 DAYS!!! Took 3 weeks some more. -_- HATE BSNL!!!!

Here, DO NOT go out for a meal with too many people. They will cook ALL the dishes finish before starting to serve. Imagine having dinner with 10 people, you'll have to wait for SO LONG!!!

Haih.. I dislike this place a lot. But I have chosen this path and I have to go on strong... *sobz*

I'm so lazy to update so here are some pictures!

A VERY nice hotel we stayed in when we were in Bangalore. We only stayed in the room for about 4 hours before going to the airport again to fly to Mangalore.

My room pale in comparison... But it is the third most expensive rooms around. And it is quite ok though it is small...

Me with a police car

Us at dinner during Yi Zhi's birthday.

Lots of cows can be seen here!

These pictures are taken from End Point, a place where people usually go for a walk or jogging. It has fantastic view!

I'll paste the other photos on Facebook as I'm lazy to upload one by one here. I also don't think I'll have time to update my blog as well. Haiz... Until then, ciao!

Lee Chong Wei Lost

2008-08-17T21:07:00.000+05:30

I was so excited for the past few days about the match between Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan as this is the first chance Malaysia has to get a gold medal, which has never been done before. Plus Lee Chong Wei seems to be in pretty good conditions these past few days, glowing from his victory fom a match with Korea's Lee Hyun Il.

I heard that the match took up quite a lot of Lee Chong Wei's energy, therefore causing him not being able to recuperate and regenerate his full energy for tonight's match although he had one day to rest. Whereas people said that Lin Dan's teammate just made it easy for him to get into the finals. So, Lin Dan was in better shape than Lee Chong Wei.

The match was a HUGE disappointment. I was expecting more suspense and close marks. However Lee Chong Wei kept making mistakes, like hitting an out ball or just hitting the shuttlecock against the net, making it an easy win for Lin Dan.

SO sad that Lee Chong Wei lost........ I was rooting for Malaysia and thought that he had a good chance of winning... But Lin Dan won 21-12, 21-8. LOL!!!

p/s: At least I got to see the Malaysian flag up on the podium after all those competitions.

p/p/s: My new crush is Michael Phelps. He is SO good in swimming. He seems to be the Michael Jordan of swimming. The guy is SO damn fast!!! He won half of USA's gold medals, which is 8 GOLD medals! He broke many records and currently holds the record of getting the most gold medals in swimming! He had eclipsed a storied record, Mark Spitz's seven golds of 1972. Nine days, 17 races, seven world records, eight golds. He is SO good at it! OMG!

Phelps, when he had hair. LOL!

Such a powerful swimmer!

Because he has such a good body! He was so happy to win so many gold medals!

Check which events he got his medals here at http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/summer08/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=3539386.

Shattered Into Pieces

2008-08-14T17:55:00.000+05:30

I will be frank. I am not happy AT ALL with my results. I am SO disappointed with myself. Why did I screw up??? What the heck happened? I'm really VERY VERY disappointed.

My dreams of getting all As shattered into pieces as reality hit me at 1 something this afternoon. I cried. But what is the use? No amount of tears can redo my results or let me go back into time and be more hardworking. What's done is done. Nothing can be done to reverse it.

People tell me not to worry about it, to let it be history, to look forward, to be thankful that I still have my scholarship, to be grateful that my results are not THAT bad. It is always easier said than done. I've always been a straight A student. For this to happen to me, it can be imagined how disappointed I am in myself for failing to live up to my standards. How frustrated and disappointed I am....

Anyway thank you all who support me by helping to calm me and sooth my feelings, whether you succeeded at it or not. I really thank you all for the effort!

I'm feeling more okay now. I know that life doesn't ends at this mistake. When you fall down, you'll still have to pull yourself up and go on with your life no matter how painful the fall is. I just hope that there will not be anymore painful falls in my life, although it seems like me asking for the impossible to happen. Well, one can hope can't she........

p/s: I don't know how many times did I use the word disappointed today...

NERVOUS!!

2008-08-14T07:23:00.001+05:30

My results will be out in 3 or 4 hours. I'm SO SO SO SO nervous and scared!

I've never been this unsure about my results before... Even SPM was not this scared although I was pretty freaked out as well.

I've started getting nervous 3 or 4 days ago... -_- This was unusual because I'll only feel the heat the night before. It proves how nervous I am. But despite all things, I still managed to get a good night's sleep last night and had no nightmares whatsoever about my results. Phew! I'll take that as a good sign.

PLEASE WISH ME LUCK AND PRAY FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm 20...

2008-07-15T17:57:00.000+05:30

Finally I'm able to update my blog. I tried to update on my birthday but don't know why I can't open the blogger webpage. LOL!!!!

I just had my birthday on 12th July, which is just 3 days ago. It was just a normal day, like any other day. Nothing special, nothing grand. But I really thank God for these 20 years. I have a good family, with not much problems. I have a pretty good life and I feel pretty blessed for such good family and friends.

Right now I am back in Sibu, enjoying my holidays. I only eat, sleep, limteh, watch tv most of the time. I am really trying to enjoy my holidays as I fully know that after this holidays, I'll never have a good holiday. Studies will be difficult, work even more difficult... This is the last holidays where I can not worry about studies, not worry about academic stuff (until my results are out). I really treasure my holidays!! Hehe!

I miss Pat, who is in KL now. She had to go back for her so-called "intensive German language training". Miss limteh-ing with her, miss talking to her. I also miss Sab Sab. Poor Sab, in Kuching all alone without any close friends in the same school as her... Haih! I'll miss my friends and family too when I leave Malaysia..

For all of you out there, CAN YOU STOP MAKING FUN OF ME GOING TO INDIA? It is not funny ok!! LOL!! All those things about what I'll become very Indian-ish, I'll get an Indian boyfriend, I'll get an Indian accent etc.. Haha! I get quite annoyed after some time. *rolls my eyes*

Sorry for the digression! Hehe! I want to end this post with this,

I'M 20 ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW I SO AGREE WITH PAT'S BLOG QUOTE: LIFE IS LIKE A VACUUM CLEANER, IT SUCKS!

IN CONCLUSION, HATE EVERYTHING!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sighs

2008-05-31T06:34:00.000+05:30

Woke up quite early this morning as I had to pass to my dad a BIG luggage full of unused things for him to bring back to Sibu. My parents and brother are leaving KL at 11 something.

They came to KL on Tuesday and leaving today. I went to meet them on Tuesday. Had quite an emo day when I came back to the hostel on Thursday. At that time, I really had the thought of giving up on having my A-Levels exam and following them back to Sibu. I was really down at the moment and tears silently spilled out. *Sighs* But I still have to face the reality. I have to go on, if not I'll dash my parents' hope, my future, my 2 years of enduring life here in Shah Alam. And I'll only go back in 5 weeks time due to the interview and the BTN camp after my exam...

Funny, when I was still in secondary school I'd wish that I leave home soon to further my studies and at the same time to obtain my freedom. Now I really miss home and wished I can stay at home. I'm sure many of the people who leave home to study will feel this way. I'd never though that I'll miss home a lot. I thought that I'll be happy here, away from the control of my parents. Oh boy am I wrong! Maybe parting makes the heart grows fonder. Really very "sien" now. At least I have my friends here with me.

*Stands up straight* Kambade Joanne. *Pats myself on the back* 5 more weeks to go! You can do it!!!! *Slouches and sighs*

Behind the scenes!

2008-05-26T11:38:00.000+05:30

If you all have read my last two posts, you might be wondering why am I doing such "wu liao" stuff. The first post was just a random post as I suddenly got an inspiration from the junk food I bought. I'd like to blog something lame for a change, so I went ahead and did it.

When Pat and Yi Zhi saw my post, they were very happy. LOL! Don't ask me, I really don't know why. Pat insists that it is my best post ever. -_- FAINT!!!! Does it means that my previous posts are not good?? *sob sob* Anyway, Pat and Yi Zhi were so enthusiastic to help me do a second part.(Connie, I did not force them to do this, rather they forced me to. Hehe.) We did it in the same location, which is the study room. I think the main reason is also because we all were tired studying and decided to do something fun!

We took some random pictures after we finished our"conference", or small talk. SO random!!

Pat and Huong Eng

Yi Zhi and Cheng Ing

Me and Yi Zhi

Pat's failed attempt to take a picture of me!

This was supposed to be a picture of the monster because we wanted to show the red nails but I forgot to get this picture from Pat.

The first, second and third attempt to capture a picture of the traveler attacking the monster.

We decided to use the third picture because:
1. Can't really see the pen which is used to attack to monster in the 1st picture
2. Can see Huong Eng in the second picture
3. The umbrella is really a good prop!! Yi Zhi came up with it.

This last picture was supposed to show the traveler in a heroic posture. It was also Yi Zhi who came up with this post. She actually attempted this post few days earlier. I was commenting how funny it looks like. It is really more hilarious with the umbrella. We took all these pictures in the study room. The juniors were all looking at us strangely. We all laughed till we cried at the last picture. Many attempts were made to take the last picture as we keep on laughing and it affected Yi Zhi and everyone started laughing and laughing and laughing and Yi Zhi can't keep her posture straight. LOL!!!!

It was fun overall but I hope I'll not do anything so lame ever again(unless I'm really bored and have nothing else to do!) :D

Monster!!!!(Part 2)

2008-05-24T08:01:00.000+05:30

After the last incident, the monster only came out occasionally, only to feed when it is hungry. It seems that even the monster has begun to feel afraid of meeting some strange traveler.

However, the junk food kingdom is still horrified by the monster. The king decided to offer sacrifices to the monster. Every week, one prisoner of the junk food kingdom will be fed to the monster to keep it away from the subjects of the junk food kingdom, because these prisoners were killers, thieves, robbers and they deserve punishment.

Peace ruled in the junk food kingdom, but not for long. The number of prisoners began to decline and in a few more weeks there will be nothing left to feed the junk food monster anymore. The junk food kingdom's subjects began the tremble in fear at the prospect of that thought. They were beginning to lose hope of ever living in peace again.

One day, a traveler with her shining armour came to the junk food kingdom. She immediately went to see the king. She heard of the junk food monster that has been terrorizing he kingdom and was offering the king her services to kill the monster. The king looked at her as if she had lost her mind, as she was small in size and seemed to have no magical power of whatsoever to defeat the monster. But, I guess it is worth a try! Anyway it will bring no harm nor lost to the kingdom. So, the king decided to let her have her way. So, she set off on her journey to track down the monster and to kill it.

The traveler in her shining yellow armour.

She searched the kingdom high and low to look for the monster. When she nearly gave up hope, she heard a sudden rustling in the nearby bushes. Carefully, she made her way to the bushes, hoping that it was the monster. Sure enough, she saw the monster waiting to attack yet another junk food family, this time a bigger family. Seemed like the monster's appetite had grown since last time.

The second junk food family.

She immediately jumped to their rescue, making the monster focus its attention on her. She was caught off guard a moment as the monster was more horrible than what she had imagined.

Scary monster!

The traveler was determined to terminate the monster. So she mustered up all the courage she had in her tiny little frame and tried to fight the monster with her trusty weapon.

It was a fierce battle between the monster and the traveler.

The traveler managed to find a weak spot of the monster and immediately drove her weapon into the monster. The monster died an instant death!

The junk food kingdom cheered in joy for the traveler! The king was overjoyed, so he awarded the traveler the most precious treasure in the kingdom, which is a tupperware bottle. It is said to contain an elixir which will heal any sickness or any wounds. The traveler left the kingdom happily, leaving behind a legacy.

Monster!!!

2008-05-17T13:18:00.000+05:30

Once upon a time there was this junk food monster who likes to hunt for junk food. All the junk food in the junk food kingdom was terrified by the junk food monster. It caused them endless sleepless and restless day. The junk food have not really seen the monster before but they chose to believe it and take a lot of precaution as not to be eaten by the junk food monster.

One day, an outsider, who was not a junk food kingdom citizen, decided to seek the junk food monster out as to prove whether there really is one. She searched high and low, far and near. On the way, she saw a happy junk food family taking a stroll. They invited her into their home for dinner and she helped them to take a family picture.

Ahhh... What a happy family! :)

After she finished her dinner, she bid the junk food family goodbye and continued her journey. She had not gotten far when she heard a scream coming from the cottage she was in just minutes ago. She immediately ran back to the cottage. Guess what she saw??

She saw the junk food monster in action!!!!

She was horrified and tried to save the junk food family. However she was overpowered by the junk food monster and passed out.

The traveller who passed out...

When she woke up(she was not eaten because she was not a junk food), she sobbed uncontrollably as she saw this scene.

The junk food family was completely devoured by the monster!!!

She was extremely devastated because there was nothing she can do anymore for the family.

She buried the family in the rubbish bin and fled the kingdom forever!

New Obsession!!!!

2008-05-10T22:27:00.001+05:30

I think I have a new obsession, an obsession I'd never thought I would have in the past, present or future. But yet now I've fallen in love with it.... It is vain and it costs much and it is sinful, but I still love it. How?? I hope that this obsession will not go on, or if not I'll be doomed!

MY OBSESSION FOR HIGH HEELS!!!!!

I just found out today. Went to SACC, a mall in Shah Alam with Pat, Yi Zhi and Felicia. Went into Vincci... BOOM!! A catastrophe happened. I was awed by the sight of heels which I saw in a catalogue of Vincci. I nearly went crazy!!! I wished that I could buy 3 or 4 pairs!!! Sadly, I bought one only as $$$ is limited! And the saddest thing is, I DON'T REALLY WEAR THEM OUT. It is due to:

1. Shah Alam's road is too rocky. Therefore it is difficult to wear heels, especially for noobs like me.
2. I'm already freaking tall at 169cm. If I wear heels, that means I'll tower over guys!!!! It is kind of intimidating to see a tall girl wearing heels right?? Plus guys are usually very touchy about their height.
3. I DON'T DARE TO WEAR!!! What if I accidentally lost my balance?? That will be SO embarassing...

This is my first pair of heels. I bought it on an impulse and kept it in my closet for quite a long time before deciding to put it on during this year's Chinese New Year as I can't find any nice shoes.

My 2nd pair of heels. Bought this in Midvalley when we went there to celebrate Sabrina's birthday. I bought it because I had these Vincci coupons that must be used before 30th April. Liked the colour and the height was comfortable for me too!

This is the newest addition to the heels family! I bought it just now in SACC. Loved this pair of heels since I first saw it in the catalogue!! Just can't resist the temptation!!!!

As you would not have noticed(hehe!), the heels I've bought have gotten higher by each pair. I hope I won't go on to buy stilettos, which will kill my feet as this pair is already a little painful.

Aaaah, lengths female go to look pretty. I'm beginning to sound very vain and bimbotic right? Argh! Heels, don't make me fall head over heels for you! :P

IronMan!

2008-05-05T14:30:00.001+05:30

Just came back from Sunway Pyramid this afternoon. I know that some of you might think that I'm crazy to go to Sunway Pyramid when A-Levels starts just next week. But I can't resist the temptation!

I went with Patricia, Zhao Ming and Si Han to watch IronMan! Been wanting to watch it for a long time, not able to do so in Sibu because my parents insist that I should stay at home to study.

The movie was quite nice! I give it a 8/10. I've heard mixed reviews about it but personally I like it very much. Action packed plus exciting! COOL!

After the movie we went for lunch at Zenmai Restaurant, a Japanese restaurant above KimGary. I like the restaurant because the food is slightly different than places like Sushi King or Sakae Sushi but yet it is very reasonably priced and the food is delicious. I prefer it more if compared to Sakae Sushi!

I realized that my Roxy bag's strap was nearly broken while I was walking around. SO sad! I love the bag and I haven't used it for more than half a year. Maybe I overloaded it sometimes. It is beyond repair. Patricia and I immediately went bag-hunting as stupid me brought my Espirit bag back to Sibu and I would have no bag to use. We went to Topshop, Espirit, Quiksilver and Forever 21 but I can't find any bag that I like. Panic!!!! Patricia suggested we go to Marks' & Spencer because she saw a nice bag there while she was in Midvalley for the weekend. Actually we did not see the bag but luckily I was initiative enough to ask the salesperson. I bought the bag on the spot. It was not very flashy but I like it!! Thanks Pat!! Tried to post the picture of the bag up but neither can I find the bag's picture on Marks and Spencer website nor find my Nokia cable.. Sweat!

Back in Akasia now. I guess it is time to study... ARGH. Hate it!! Why good times always pass by so fast?? Going to have my J n CO. donuts for dinner. Until next time, ciao!

Back To Shah Alam Again...

2008-05-04T20:19:00.000+05:30

How is it that I always end up feeling sad when I leave Sibu for Shah Alam? Can anybody please tell me why??

I just got here this afternoon at 4 pm. Went straight to church. Had very good laughs today with Billy, Patricia and Johnson telling lame jokes. But when I got back, now alone in my room, I really miss home VERY VERY VERY much... Feel so lonely and missing home's warmth. Missing my mom, dad, brother who always let me hit him and my big room!!!! :(

Now I'm still online when I should get back to studying. However I don't feel like it. How?? Can someone whip up an invention which enables people to remember everything that they ever studied? And only sell it to me?? That way I won't be so miserable...

Feeling so tired and depressed at the moment. Help? Anyone?

Just realized what an emo post I wrote.

Sighs....

2008-05-03T12:01:00.000+05:30

Seems like no one reads my blog nowadays. I've asked you guys to guess where I am now and yet there is still no reply. FINE. I shall give up blogging!

Haha! I'm kidding, although discouraged that no one answered my question because that means that no one is reading my blog. Never mind never mind. I know that it is due to my lack of updates. Too many things to do, too little time and too lazy to blog. Besides, I dislike updating without any pictures. My blog seems too full of words without pictures. I prefer to let the pictures do the talking most of the time, because I don't really have anything interesting to write about.

Oh, by the way I'm now in Sibu!!! YAY! But leaving tomorrow already, making me feel so sad. I am glad to be back for the food, to see my family and to relax for a few days. On the other hand, I'm very reluctant to leave as I know what awaits me in Shah Alam. Study study study, non stop studying and A-LEVELS!!!! SO horrifying and scary but I still will have to face the reality. Plus I won't be back till 9th July, which is 2 months away.

I came back on Wednesday and leaving on Sunday. Forced to leave early by my parents because they claim that I won't study much at home, which is quite true. Most of the time I either go through my old things in my room or end up wandering around the house and talking to my family. LOL!!! People think I am too rich because I spend so much money coming back while I should have Stayed to study. I don't really care. That is because I get to come back to eat KAMPUA and KOMPIA!!!

There is this slogan created by Patricia to cheer Sibu people whether in a competition or anywhere. Quote Patricia, " SIBU neng(foochow for people), KAMPUA!!!!!!!!!!! KOMPIA!!!!!!!" LOL!! But it hasn't been hear in public though. I doubt that will happen unless she is really really high at that moment. Yi Zhi also got influenced by her. LOL. Hehe! Sorry Pat for spilling your secret! :D

I think before leaving tomorrow I'll have to rush here and there to buy Kampua and Kompia with or without meat, which means I'll have to go to 3 different places and buy A LOT as there is a high demand for both of this items(hehe) and I'm the only one back in Sibu at this moment. OH, for those of you who don't have any idea what is Kampua and Kompia. Kampua is a type of noodles which Sibu is known for and Kompia is a type of bread. I'll post up pictures later when I have the time to.

Time to sign off. Got to go do some studying now as Dad wants to use the computer! I might not be updating often as I'm having my A-Levels. Will update if I have time though. Ciao!

2008-05-01T11:19:00.000+05:30

My A-Levels is starting in just less than 2 weeks time. and I'm not well-prepared! Or rather I'm not prepared!!! WAAAA!!! So scared and nervous and I regret for not preparing earlier when I had the time to! Others have read through their stuff at least twice already. SO SO NERVOUS! Plus my past results were not good.. All of you out there must keep me in your prayers ya! (And pray A LOT for me, because I really need it! :D)

It is so hard to believe I have been in Shah Alam for 2 whole years!! When I first got there, I was thinking how would I survive in such a place, BUT I HAVE MANAGED!! Here I am, going to finish my studies in Shah Alam already!! What have I gained?? Knowledge? Friends? Shopping bags? NO! Not that! The most obvious is WEIGHT!!I know many are laughing at me! :( But it is undeniable. LOL! Really need to find a way to lose weight. HAHA!

Going to venture into a new place after Shah Alam. India, yes India! Many people ask me why India. HELLO people!! It is not like I have i choice! Hehe. I hope that it will not be that bad.. But one thing is for sure, studies will be a complete hell. Classes are from 8 till 4 every day of the week except for Friday!(wtf!!! Saturday also have class??? SO sien..) Adding onto the misery is the HOT weather and the food. I hope people can still recognize me after I come back from India. Hope that I'll not look like a ghost after that.

Now I'm SO looking forward to the holidays after A-Levels though... I want to go to Redang Island!! But I'm still not sure whether I'll be going or not because JPA put mine and Cheng Ing's camp at different times. ARGH!! SO GERAM!! If not we can go many places to play... Plus my university interview is after A-Levels, which makes it even worse as I can't play as much as I want to having to prepare for my interview. Double sien!

I think that is all for now. No pictures because I don't have my cable with me.

P/S : Guess where I am now?? :D

Quizzes!!

2008-04-18T18:03:00.000+05:30

I wasted my time doing these quizzes when I should be studying for my Moral Studies exam tomorrow. But I just can't stop. This is SO much fun!! :D

Could You Be Violent?

There's Not a Violent Bone in Your Body

You're cool and collected, even when someone really gets under your skin.

And while you don't blow up when you're angry, you know how to express your anger calmly.

You don't bottle emotions up or let them get out of control. For you, violence would never be an optio

Could You Be Violent?

I think this test is absolutely correct. Hehe! I was never a violent person. I seldom get angry too.. It can be bad at times.. People won't take me seriously when I am really angry. They thought that no matter what they do I won't get angry. It is really frustrating at times, being taken advantage of just because I am not a person who will get angry easily!!

Haha! Anyway this was just a random post. I decided to do the quiz after seeing it on Angela's blog. Angela, I still read your blog!! :D

Who's The True You?

Got this link from Daniel's blog!

The True You

You want your girlfriend or boyfriend to be more relaxed, calm, and composed.

With respect to money, you are a bit stingy.

You think good luck is something you won't attain - you expect bad luck.

The hidden side of your personality tends to be a little selfish. You only do what interests you.

You are tend to think about others' feelings a lot, perhaps because you are so eager to be liked.

When it comes to finding a romantic partner, you don't have any particular type in mind, but you are inclined to look for someone who will say yes when you ask him / her out.

Who's The True You?

The Chocolate Oracle

What Your Taste in Chocolate Says About You

You are sweet, mellow, and easily satisfied.

You don't like anything too intense and dramatic.

Deep down, you're a kid at heart... and you're nostalgic for the past.

You are emotionally expressive and sensitive.

You're effected by everything around you.

Your friends appreciate your open heart, but they are afraid of hurting your feelings.

You love to be in love. You crave romance, whether you're single or not.

You feel lost when you don't feel passion... you need someone to adore.

Introducing................................. (drum roll)

LIPTON MILK TEA!!!

This is SOOOOOO NICE!! I bought it in Carrefour and it comes with its own cup!! A packet is just nice for a small cup. If a bigger cup is used, the taste will be diluted. You've GOT to try this. I love it! It actually comes in another two flavours, Golden(which is extra rich with milk) and Vanila but personally I like the original one. Actually there are 10 packets in one box. Now they are also selling 20 packets together in a bag, which I just bought yesterday in Carrefour.

Happy Birthday, Mum!!

2008-03-13T19:47:00.000+05:30

Today is a very special day! It is my mum's birthday. Of course I won't tell how old my mum is, but I still feel like greeting her happy birthday on my blog even though she doesn't read it.

Mummy, a woman who means so much to me. I've come to love her more and respect her more each day. When I was young, I did not understand her need to keep such a tight reign on me. I was allowed out only thrice a year with my friends, I must do well in my studies, I must learn how to play a piano. I really felt very caged and really ached for freedom. Now that I'm studying in KL, away from her hawk eyes, surprisingly I missed her a lot! She was there when I was frustrated with my studies or frustrated about relationship with others. She was the one who taught me most of what I know now and I have come to know that she really put a lot of effort in educating me. She was the one who calmed me down and gave me a perspective when I was clueless about stuff going on around me. She means so so much to me!

I do not know when is the next time I can celebrate her birthday with her. So I tried to make this birthday special(even though I forgot to buy her present and order her cake earlier). I bought her a yam cake from Four Seasons bakery and a bouquet of carnations(since I won't be around for Mothers' Day too). We had a good time today and the day ended quite well with a dinner at Cafe Cafe. Too bad Dad is in Melbourne for my cousin's wedding and can't celebrate together with us.

I wish that time will slow down. Sometimes it pains me to see her hair graying. But I will always love and love and love my mummy no matter what.

Happy birthday Mum!! I Love You.

Updates (Part 3)

2008-03-11T14:03:00.000+05:30

Hi! I'm back. Update part 3 is about my pre-trials and post-trials moments. Although it is short, at least I updated!! :D

The month of me having trials was one of the most torturous moments I've ever had. I felt so frustrated, suffocated and helpless at the same time.. I only studied and studied. Haha! Maybe it IS my fault and I should have started to study earlier. But, then tension, stress and depression got to me. There were times where I really feel very alone and extremely exhausted, deprived of sleep and good food too!! Luckily I can turn to God and also my mother who listens to me complain and complain. If not maybe I'll go crazy!

One of the many stacks of Biology notes!

My messy table...

Chicken essence, which I drink every morning before going for exams. ( Don't think it worked a lot though)

One of my destressing instrument, my laptop!!

SO FRUSTRATED!!

So, I decided to dress up a little and cam-whore. :D It helps, but then you've got to get back to studying. :(

Even painted my nails red.

The Sunday in between my 2 weeks of trials, Pastor Alex, who is my church's pastor, got married!

Pastor Alex and his newly-wed wife, Wern Lu, doing their vows

It was very touching to see a couple so in love with each other. I can definitely feel the love in the air. Ahh... I hope I can find someone that loves me so much and I love him as much too. Not to mention a caring, loving God, gentle, sensitive, economically stable man. Oh, the list goes on and on and on! I just hope that I can find my Mr. Right and not regret for the rest of my life marrying him! Hehe. Really need God to help me look carefully. Never mind for now. Haha! It will still be a long time away! Right now I have to concentrate on my studies and graduate first!!

On 4th March, which is a Tuesday, my friends and I went straight to Sunway Pyramid after a paper in the afternoon. This was because we did not have any papers the next day and the next and last paper was maths. So, we decided to go relax. Helped Angela bought some stuff and walked around a little too! At least I get to go shopping and relaxing after one arduous month. To destress(for me), there must be good food! Ya Kee, Yi Zhi and I went to Italiannies for dinner! I insisted on it because I read in Kenny Sia's blog that the food there was good. But when we sat down and had a look at the menu, I got a shock. I expected the price to be around RM20++. Most of the food in the menu were rm30++. So, we decided to share meals. There was a promotion where you can have one appetizer, three main courses and one dessert and it was to be shared amongst 4(although we have anly 3 persons). It was about RM89(excluding drinks and tax). When the food arrived, I did not regret at ALL to come and pay around rm40++ for my meal. Although the food was a tad too salty for me, it was still very delicious! Adding on the that, they gave us each 2 pieces of Italian bread to be eaten with olive oil and vineger, which was a weird combination but tastes nice!

Appetizer : Black mussel!
It was very fresh and juicy and tastes great!

Main course 1 : Caesar Salad
Delicious!

Main course 2 : Prawn Linguine
This is superb! The prawns are just heavenly. I've never tasted such nice prawns before! They were SO fresh and juicy!!! I'm really salivating right now.. Ahhh......

Main course 3 : Chicken
I can't really recall the specific name of this dish, but it was fantastic!

Dessert : Cappucino pie
This was recommended by the waiter. There were 3 layers, vanilla ice-cream, chocolate ice-cream and a thin layer of mashed Oreo cookies. There was chocolate powder on top of the pie. YUMMY!

Ya Kee and Yi Zhi

Me!

We watched "Jumper" after dinner. It was quite nice, despite the bad reviews the critics gave of the movie and of Hayden Christensen. The jumping though, made me quite dizzy and it happened really fast and continuously. Yi Zhi said it was because I'm too slow in catching stuff. Haha! Don't know! :D I just know that I went back to my hostel feeling really satisfied and geared up to study for my last paper.

6th March, the fateful day that we finished our trials!! I haven't fell THIS happy and relieved after exams for a long long time already. I really felt that my whole body loosened up and a long sigh of relief escaped me even though I think I did not do well in my last paper. But, what the heck!!! Exams are over, for now! It was play time! Me, Cheng Ing, Yi Zhi, Felicia and Zhao Ming made our way to Pavilion after our exam.

Took this picture in the KTM. My red nail and Cheng Ing's black nail! Nice combo!(My hand is really fat... T_T)

We reached Pavilion at around 12.45pm and went straight to Red Box Plus while Cheng Ing, who is not interested in singing karaoke, went to Times Square and Sungai Wang. Yi Zhi has been itching to go to Red Box Plus since we came back from Chinese New Year holidays, which made it one month since she started to talk and talk and talk about going to Red Box Plus. We had buffet lunch there, but it was just okay and not that delicious. We paid RM18++ per person.

Dessert, the only picture I took of the food as I was too hungry to capture other pictures!

Zhao Ming, posing with his soda. LOL!

Felicia, singing and Yi Zhi(can't see her nose! Haha!)

My turn! Yi Zhi with me.

Felicia!

We all sang our hearts out and there were many funny stuff that happened! Only we would know! :D :D

After singing karaoke, we decided to head to Dragon-i for dinner. Cheng Ing joined us too! I've always liked Dragon-i as the Chinese food served there is really good. I especially like the noodles and the "Xiao Long Bao" there!(although it is a tinsy-winsy pricey)

My set of cutlery

Cheng Ing and Felicia, classmates!

Cheng Ing and I, roommates!

I had my share of fun before returning to Sibu the next day! SO HAPPY!!! Home is sweet, after all!!

Updates (Part 2)

2008-03-08T15:09:00.000+05:30

Hehe! Here I am updating again!! I am really trying to compensate for the past 2 months! HAHA!!

After I came back to Sibu, I had lots of meet-ups with friends! I enjoy meeting friends and catching up with them, Then again, I enjoyed the good food too! I'm such a glutton, but I'm proud of it! :D

Me and my brother having dinner at Cafe Cafe

My dish(the previous one), was fish and it tastes HORRIBLE because I did not like the taste of the herbs but my brother's one was nice(chicken)!

The next night I had a gathering with my Tung Hua friends at Tanahmas Hotel. I really enjoyed the companionship and the food! LOL! I really can turn my blog into a food blog....

Not sure if this is egg salad or Caesar salad

Cheese and ham sandwich

Yummy claypot rice!

Grilled chicken with garlic fried rice(the rice is yummy although I don't like garlic!)

Kampung Nyabor Chicken steak. I don't really like it because it is too tomato-ish for me, and I'm not into tomatoes..

Rump Steak

Pan-fried Dory fish. I loved the mash potato too!

7th February was the first day of CNY!! But before that, every family, Chinese families, are busy buying stuff or making cakes.. As usual, I helped my mum out with making cakes. I really like doing this and appreciate the time with my mum as I don't even know when will be he next time I'll have CNY at home as I'll be studying overseas and in Malacca too.. I really treasured the time with my friends as who knows when will be the next time we meet. It is kind of sad, no, really saddening to part with friends you were once so close to, not knowing when will you meet in the future and how your relationship will become with them after all those years. It is disheartening, but it is life, and there is nothing you can do to change it. So, I spent time with family and friends as well. Even gave up visiting with friends just to go to Grandma's house in Sarikei. I was quite unfortunate as actually I was in time to go to Ian's house where they took the group photo. But an accident happened along the way and we were stuck in the jam for almost 2 hours. I was quite sad as I did not get to visit most houses, not to mention not being in the group photo!!!!!! Haiz... But CNY was a happy time! And I had a great time before sulking back to Shah Alam to prepare for my trials.

That is about all the pictures that are displayable that I've taken during CNY. I really hate it that my CNY break is SO SHORT and I had to return to Shah Alam on the 4th day of CNY. THE 4TH DAY!!!! Had my practical exam on the next day too. Life can be so cruel at times. I haven't had enough reunion with friends or with family nor had enough visiting yet. *sigh*

So, to compensate for that, I went for a Japanese buffet in Sunway Pyramid. The shop is called Shogun. There are A LOT of stuff to eat there but my stomach can only hold that much. Yi Zhi and I made a mistake to take too much tempura first because tempura has lots of flour on it and it easily makes you feel full. Lesson learnt!!! So to all those out there, DO NOT take food with lots of flour on it or you really are wasting your money eating buffet! Only managed to get some pictures though as I was TOO FULL to move. Nearly vomited... We tried to finish everything we got because there is a fine for deliberate wasting of food. In the end, when we really really could not take anymore, we just dump it in the soup that they gave us to cook stuff. Luckily no one noticed and we left straight away after paying. HAHA!

Yi Zhi posing for the camera!

ME!(Hehe, I know by now you guys are sick of seeing me already)

SO full...

Still got some sushi which I can't finish!!

Boiling pot of soup, which eventually became our trashbin!

Then on the 15th of February, our huddle group had our party! A huddle is a group of people where you are to be with in church, for fellowship and prayer after the service and also for bible study once in a while. We, in Acts Church call our bible study Huddle Max. Each of the huddle is named after a colour. I was originally in Pink, but now they decided to fuse 2 groups to become one. We fused with Yellow, which makes us PILLOW!! :D And we had a Pillow Party at SS15 at The Hub, just above our church's AYA office. I had a lot of fun and did not have any time to take photos... Only a few. :D

Pillow Party! So cool!

Registration booth! I love this picture because of the nice colours and lightings.

Cool sticker name tags designed by Tessie. As you can see, it is the shape of a pillow with pink and yellow stripes. So creative!

I think that is all for now! Hehe! In the next post I'll blog about my pre-trials and post-trials stuff!! :D

Updates (Part 1)

2008-03-08T13:35:00.000+05:30

FINALLY!!! You all must be saying, FINALLY lazy Joanne updates her blog after months. Hehe.. Sorry for the long absence. I have been too lazy to blog plus I hate blogging without posting pictures on, due to the super snaily wireless connection I have in Shah Alam.

OK! Back to updates!!! I've just finished my trials and am SO SO SO relieved!! I don't know why but the trials are really torturous this time. SO much depression and stress and exhaustion accumulated within me this past weeks... SO relieved to finish it(to be alive and kicking, :D) and also..... TO BE BACK IN SIBU! Muahahha! Having my short holidays now. So so grateful for the break!

Hehe! Now let me update what I've been doing the past 2 months or so!!

Before going back to KL in January,

Ym and I at Daniel's place on New Year's Eve/Day. Oh, miss her so much!!!

Us girls at Daniel's place!

Pat and me at Dae Sim.

Gracie!!!!

Shirin, me and Grace! Miss u guys!

Gathering at Ice City(was raining outside!)

With Ian just before I left for KL. Actually I also took a picture with Shirin, but the picture is with her and I haven't been able to obtain it.

Moving on to KL!!!

Went to Pavilion!! Love this pic, because I took it with my new handphone and also because you can see the words "PAVILION" and its reflection in the glass as well.

Nice CNY decorations in Pavilion!

The CNY decorations in Sunway Pyramid!

Aww.... I really missed the CNY atmosphere! Everywhere you can see people happily shopping for their CNY clothes. But this year's CNY is not as merry as before due to the rights of CNY songs.. People have to pay money to air CNY songs in their shops. I guess all profit-loving shop owners will not be so dumb as to waste capital on airing CNY songs..

Hehe!! That is all for now! I will continue to update! LOVE SIBU!! I heart Sibu! Haha!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

2008-01-01T14:04:00.000+05:30

Hey! It is already 2008!! I'm officially 20 years old! I really don't know whether to be happy or sad... Haha!! Haiz.. Soon I have to go back to school. But I'm really psyched about Chinese New Year! I can go to BIG shopping malls to do my shopping, and not more at Wisma Sanyan. YEAH!!

Last night, we had a gathering at Daniel's house. Ian came to fetch me early because he had to go to Daniel's house to cook spaghetti. It was NICE!!! :D Ian will be so happy when he reads this. Haha! There were us good friends there. Me, Sabrina, Ian, Daniel, Tiffany, Nh, Mee Kiet, Ym, Johnny, Danny, James, Jensen, Kevin, Stanley and his gf and Lee Loong!! Ym left early yo go clubbing. Although it was just a normal night, but I had a really good time with my friends. We ate junk food, played cards and some even sang karaoke!

It was fun gathering around with friends! At 12(not sure if it was exactly 12), we saw some awesome fireworks(by us)! :D Wished everyone there Happy New Year. James wished me luck in slimming myself. But straight after that we had ice cream with chocolate syrup. LOL!! Guess I'll have great difficulty in keeping that resolution. :D Will upload pictures as soon as I get them from Ian! Or rather, the easier way, VISIT IAN'S BLOG!!

To everyone out there, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!!! And may everyone have the determination to fulfill their new year's resolution!!!!!!

Party!

There was the Christmas party organised by Ym and all the other committees, which includes me. It was at Cafe Cafe on the 23rd of December! We all had a great time. Mostly it was eating and taking pictures. Of course, with Ym around, disco dancing is sure just nearby. I can't say that I really danced! Kind of like just swayed to the music. :D Haih.. I have to post pictures, but just bear with the fat me in the pictures. And I made a terrible mistake to get a glossy dress, which reflects light when photographed with flash and made me look even fatter. PLUS my double chin. Haha! I hope to slim down, but I wonder when will that ever happen! Roses on the table. Romantic eh!

Ee Gee! Oh boy, I look really fat.... :(

Stanley Ting

Jensen, who made me stand behind him. I think it makes him look taller. :D

Cheng Ing in the house!!

Lorng Yon! SEE! I remember your Chinese name!!

The committee members who helped to organize the party! Actually all committee members are supposed to be in red and black, but James wore black and white and the only red on Ym is the bottom of her heels. LOL! If I had knew I'd definitely opt for all black!

Ian and I acting cool....

LL with his expensive coat! Sorry for making fun of you that night!

Sab sab and Angela! SO CUTE!

Everyone, well, almost everyone at the party except for those who came late.

Pretty roses from our party, which managed to stay alive for one week more and blossomed beautifully!

On Christmas eve, I got a call from Kevin. He said that he will be arriving at my home in 5 minutes and was going to give me a present! I did not believe it.. But apparently it were for real!

Kevin, Wiliam, Lee Loong, Daniel and Ian.

They gave me a small packet which contains junk food. And asked me to share it with my brother. LOL!! Anyway thanks a lot for the gift and for remembering me on Christmas eve!!

After watching National Treasure 2 at King's Cinema!! Had lunch at Shabu Shabu before that!

Finally I got my post up. It was supposed to be up last 2 days, but my stupid house phone went haywired and I did not have any internet connection for the past 2 days. It really sucked!! Anyway today is New Year's eve!!! Tomorrow it is going to be a whole new year and I'm officially 20!!!! How I hate growing up... Hope to have fun at Daniel's house tonight for the countdown party! HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE EVERYONE!!
