Merdeka Eve

Merdeka Eve started just like any ordinary day. Went for classes, felt asleep between breaks, you know, just like any other day. However, at the end of the last class, suddenly there is a spur of joy that excites the heart, as if it was screaming, "TOMORROW IS A PUBLIC HOLIDAY!!!!" *giggle* From there onwards, I started to feel rather spontaneous. In the back of my mind, I know that my aim is to finish my physiology by tonight, but at that moment, I just want to enjoy myself by eating good food. Well... at least better than the food that I am used to around here. My friend and I decided to go to Sunway Pyramid for dinner as it was already 6pm. While we were walking, thinking whether we should take the cab or the bus or should we just walk there, a taxi passed by, totally ignoring us. Hmm... maybe we should walk instead? Then the bus came! Hehe.. lucky!

However, the bus was extremely packed with people. Though we were lucky enough to be seated, there was this guy standing at my left hand side whose bag really really smells. It was so awful! I was wondering, "How long did he not wash his bag???" Guys will always be guys... *shakes head in disappointment*

So, we finally reached to Sunway Pyramid and Kim Gary was the place decided to fill our empty and growling stomachs. Coincidentally, we saw some of our course-mates there as well. They told us that today Kim Gary is having a promotion. Any student will be omitted from paying the government taxes upon presenting Student ID card. Again, luck seems to be on our side so far. I don't remember the last time that we were this laid back and relax. It's great to have a time out for once. After chit chatting and dinner, we bid farewell to our friends and went on our way. Before we went back to the house, we made a final stop to have New Zealand's ice cream. We were about to turn our backs on the stall when the attendant told us that it is 50% off whatever you order. We were like, "SWEET!!!" We were very fortunate indeed. *smiling happily*

Came back and after taking a shower, I went straight to work. However, I still wasn't able to finish by tonight. I am a bit disappointed at myself because I really don't want to do any assignments during this long weekend. Sigh.. Oh.. Fireworks started when the clock strikes twelve! Hmph! The fireworks only lasted for a minute... tsk tsk... but on the bright side, I can sleep in peace! All right people, I hereby wishing you all a HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! Enjoy your weekend! I know I will *wink*

Get Over Yourself, Girl

When I see people, I see them how they represent themselves. They may be cheerful, happy and friendly and outgoing from the outside, yet some of them are suffering from pain, loneliness and sadness. Sometimes I feel that I don't even know them at all. The depth of me understanding their condition is so shallow that it really shows me that I don't pay much attention to them as much as I should. With all the assignments and tests, I was just trapped in my balloon, in my own world where everything it's about me. I've been telling myself, "I gotta finish this", "I gotta study"... Hmph... what a great friend am I.... Balancing everything is really hard for me... To balance my study, play, friends, family and God, is undeniably hard. I know that nobody is perfect, but sometimes I just wish that I could manage my time better in everything that I do. Time is flying by really quickly and I don't want to waste these moments blindly... not at all...

Thought of the Day

My neck and back is killing me.... I spent too much time in front of the computer that I forgot all about my posture. This is what happens when assignments just wouldn't stop flowing like a waterfall, splashing on the rocks within us, putting us down and crushing our spirits. But you know what, when all that is done, the feeling of being lifted up from all the a thousand and one thing is an amazing feeling! Though it is just for a tiny moment, it is all worth it.... Don't give up!!!!

MSN brings us closer

"GOSH it's so cold in here!" I have never stayed in a library to do anything for more than 2 hours and now I am getting goosebumps all over my hands. Actually I have some assignments due next week which I could start to do, I took a break to chat with my out-of-touch friends through MSN. My darling Sin Ling has finished her final examinations and she is free from all the books, assignments and notes for THREE WHOLE WEEKS! I want to have a holiday too~! Unfortunately, it is not my time to relax yet. I have two tests next week and some assignments due. On addition to that, my mid-term is coming up as well. I need and MUST to maintain myself in a STUDY and WORK WORK WORK mode. Kevin, my primary schoolmate, who has plenty of problems, added another problem to his list, girlfriend. I was honestly shocked that he has a girlfriend already. Hmm.. I wonder is the girlfriend taller than him? *smiling mischievously* Now he had got me curious about his girlfriend... Cannot! *shaking the thought off* Must go back to work!

Ordinary Day

"IDIOT!" I scolded myself as I searched through my bag, in and out. I had forgotten to bring my purse along, where my Student ID and money are all in it. Due to my forgetfulness, I can't borrow any reference books for my report which I planned to finish tonight and I had to borrow lunch money from my friend. Felt a bit embarrassed as I had to get money from my friend who I hardly hung out lately. She is a very good friend of mine but we hardly see each other around in campus 'cause most of our classes are different. Moreover, I am not the type of person who likes to borrow money from other. Sigh... I'm just glad that she didn't mind.

Besides that, I brought my laptop to campus to get some work done during the time break between classes. Huh... no cable electricity in most of the areas in the library. Disappointing as it is, I am glad that I did charged my laptop before I came. Didn't get to do much but at least there were some work could be done. I'm really hoping that I can finish this report by tonight. I don't want to see, feel, breathe or touch that report ever again once I am done with it. This is really taking too much of my time.

On the lighter note, though everything wasn't as pleasant and smooth-flowing as I wanted it to be, it wasn't that bad either. Was reminded with this Bible verse, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God - Phillipians 4:6." Anxiety makes people cranky... well, it makes me cranky and moody. I just need to center myself and let the peace of God fill my entire being.

I promised myself that I must finish the report by tonight. NO EXCUSES. So see ya!

Stranger


Stranger by Hilary Duff.

Nobody believes me when I tell them that you're out of your mind!
Nobody believes me when I tell them that there's so much you hide
You treat me like a queen when we go out,
wanna show everyone what our love's about
All wrapped up in me whenever there is a crowd
But when no ones around

There's no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell whats going on this time
Theres a stranger in my life
You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too

Did I ever do anything that was this cruel to you?
Did I ever make you wonder who was standing in the room?
You made yourself look perfect in everyway
So when this goes down, I'm the one that will be blamed
Your plan is working so you can just walk away
Baby your secret's safe

There's no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell whats going on this time
Theres a stranger in my life
You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let 'em know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too

Such a long way back, from this place we're at
When I think of all the time I've wasted, I could cry

There's no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell whats going on this time
Theres a stranger in my life
You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let 'em know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too

There's no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell whats going on this time
Theres a stranger in my life
You're not the person I once knew
Are you scared to let 'em know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too

Horoscope for the Day

I don't think that I am a superstitious girl 'cause I do find them a bit ridiculous. Neither do I believe in horoscopes. For the same reasons as well. However, right now, I just need a break from Cellular Metabolism report. Been working on it for two days already and still I am no where in getting it done. Sigh. My Friendster horoscope for the day is....

Friendster Horoscope for August 26, 2007

The Bottom Line

Be open to changing your mind today -- it'll demonstrate your strong intelligence.

In Detail

Be open to changing your mind once in a while. There is nothing wrong with admitting that you were blind but now you see. In fact, it's a sign of your intelligence that when new information comes your way, you factor it in and adjust your viewpoint accordingly. Sticking to your guns is not inherently a bad idea, but denying reality is. Seek out some intellectual stimulation. Try to find out more information about controversial ideas. Put yourself in a diverse crowd.


Yeah... I can be really stubborn if I want to. All righty, back to work.

Coordination is a Beautiful Thing

Cooking time!

There is a gospel seminar at our church today and we, the sisters in the sisters' house 3, are preparing a dish for that event. We have thought about it for days and decided on something that we have never done before. I don't know what is the actual name for it but the concept is that after several types of food are cooked, they are cut into small cubes and they are poked through a stick to be served. Anyway, here a picture to show you guys what I mean.

Not bad for a first try, huh?

First we started off by deep frying the fish balls and boiled the sausages. While we were doing that, cucumbers and pineapple were chopped into tiny pieces. Then we pan fried the sausages a bit and started poking into a stick one by one. Is 'poking' the right term for this? I'm not too sure. If anyone of you know the correct term, please do let me know. :P



Of course, desserts must not be forgotten. One of the sisters bought chocolate cake, how I wish there would be vanilla ice cream to go with it.


*drools* Too bad I'm not going... darn that Cellular Metabolism report! HMPH!

Money shall soon disappear

I don't know what came over me today. I went to Sunway Pyramid planning to buy just a few items that I need. I was just planning to buy one packet of tissue boxes and two packet of Dutch Lady Milk. Once I got there, picked up the basket, and start filling one thing after another.

"There's the tissue boxes that I wanted..."

"Milo! Which one is much more worth it? the 1kg or 400g?"

"Milk... hmmm... I think I'll take four packets..."

"Bread will be my breakfast...."

"Need something to go with bread... jam..."

"Hey.. new cereal... maybe I'll give a try.."

"Eggs!"

I spent more that I wanted to spend. Great... I am getting broke day by day. Sigh...

'Mei How, cannot like that! Must control yourself!'

Music of the Night

Finally finished the article... but I do not think that I gave it with my all. That is always the thing about me, always leaving it to the very last minute. A bad habit of mine, I know. After so long, I finally get the chance to practice playing the guitar. My friend gave me the chords for Eric Clapton's Tears of Heaven. Strumming the guitar did made the song a bit rough. If I knew how to 'pluck' (I think that's how you called it) the strings, it would have sounded so much better. That mellow and sad music did suit my feelings at that time. I guess I was lost for a while back then, maybe I'm still am, but I kept telling myself I gotta get over it and face the new obstacles that is before me. No more playing games. My challenge for this weekend is to finish off my Cellular Metabolism report, which is about twenty four pages, tops. Six pages down and eighteen more to go....

Unsure

I don't know what's going on with me lately... I went from being pissed to acts of insensitivity, from there to tears flowing down my cheeks. Now I felt better but then again, the sense of misery, pain and emptiness still remains. I don't know how to describe it, I just suddenly felt that my body is hollow and aching pain on my chest. I don't even understand the emotions that I'm going through. I don't think I'm moody right now as I still feel energetic and do assignments. I'm not sad because I can still laugh when I see a funny comic and I am listening to music. I'm not angry because I'm not punching my pillow and screaming. I don't consider myself to be in a happy condition as I am neither dancing nor am I feeling confident. It's just... sigh... Miserable? Emptiness? Tied up? I don't even know what am I feeling now.

I have an article to write and my deadline is tomorrow night. And I have only written.... one, two, three, FOUR lines. Great. Just great. I don't want to think about it for now. It's already 12.30am, I guess I better turn in. Hopefully, tomorrow would be a better day and I can be less confused about myself. At times like these, I wish I had a twin. Having a real life reflection would clarify a lot and you would understand yourself more. If I had a twin, maybe she wouldn't be so lost like me...


Mirror image - and no, I don't have a twin!

Fly Birdie Fly

I stare out the window every morning,

Deep in thought, wondering,

Will that brown bird fly across the brink?

Or remain on that small little twig?

Watching that little bird struggling everyday,

Beating its wings hard as though it’s about fly,

Yet it stops and stays there, unwilling to set flight.

Doubts and confusions fills my mind,

Is it afraid to explore what the world might bring?

Or just satisfy with everything that surrounds it?

Sad to see that poor little bird this way,

Unsure and puzzled of its tiny fate,

Only one choice can be made,

it is not easy but it is that simple,

No matter which path does it choose,

Always there'll be a road not taken.

In My Little Corner

In such a dilemma right now. Lately been thinking to myself whether or not should I go for Monash Ball this year. My soul is yearning to go and yet my conscience is telling me not to. I messed up my studies last semester, I vowed to myself that I would do better this semester. And yet, part of me wants to get out and have some fun with my friends. But then again, my heart is telling me to focus on my studies and not disappoint my family and myself anymore. Sigh... It is such a simple thing and yet it is not easy to decide at all....

Love Feast

Feeling less pressure today as I passed up all the reports and assignments due this week! Never really thought that I can do it! Since I have some free time, I better start on reports due next week. I really don't want to leave it to the very last minute anymore. Hope I can do it! *crossing my fingers*

Yesterday night, several sisters and I went to Brother Tay's house for Love Feast. We had spaghetti and fried rice. The main reason for having this Love Feast is for us to know each other better as we may attend the church meetings but somehow we don't quite really know the people beside us. Therefore, it was a great opportunity for me to get to know each and everyone of them."Rejoice Always!"
"O Lord Jesus!"

Lack of Confidence

I wish you could see the visions of what I see everyday,
I wish you could feel the joy that makes my day,
I wish you could understand the person that I am,
I wish you could dream the things that I have dreamt,
But most of all, I wish you could see what I see in you.
I see that you can be more than what you are capable of,
I see that you are not that weak as you thought you would be,
I see that you deserve much more than you have right now,
Sadly, you don't see any of that....
You brought yourself down... not me, not I.
Believe in what you have, or else it's your loss.
So you are on your own now, goodbye cause I'm out.

Monash Street Party

Been struggling hard to finish my Cellular Metabolism assignment and finally it is done!!! Constantly doing assignments is making me so worn out. See my face... so darn blur~ I still have a few more assignments and tutorials to finish by next week.

See my panda eyes? It is sooooo not cute :'(

After a long and stressful week, I definitely wanted to have some fun and relaxation. Since Monash University is holding its Monash Street Party tonight, I wanted to go check it out as I never been to one before. So I went with Saik Su and her gang of Engineering Students. I known none of them at all, so lucky me for making new friends, four guys and one girl. The guys are Jason, Yee Miin, Kean Yung and Foo. The girl is not a student of Monash but she is Saik Su's roommate. Tobby is her name. Quite shy a bit. I was trying to get some pictures of her but she was so shy, and that is an adorable trait! Me and Saik Su, on the other hand, take pictures with cars like mad! LOL! Oh I forgot to mention there are cars... let me start again.

Basically the Monash Street Party is like PASAR MALAM but with live performances by Monash students. An additional feature to this party is the Monash Motorshow where there are CARS CARS CARS and CARS everywhere. There are a bunch of cars with names that I never heard before and can't remember at all. When the guys look at the cars, it is as if they have found their perfect match in heaven~ Seriously! One of the guys said that cars are better than girls, I'm like "WHAT???" There are like absolutely hot female models there and they prefer cars over girls?????? I think guys lose their senses when it comes to cars. LOL!


The best thing I love about the Motorshow is the drifting session. IT WAS AMAZING AND SO DARN COOL!!!! When I saw it, there is a desire in me that I wanted to be in that car, not as the driver but as passenger, so I could experience the thrill and excitement of the real thing! Sadly, I didn't have the chance to do so. And of all the drivers, we saw there was a female driver and she can drift! That's really outstanding! Wow! I hope to go again tomorrow but I still have things to do. I really hope I can sit the passenger seat tomorrow night.. *crossing my fingers*

BINGO

Finally the virus is removed from my computer system, hopefully it will stay that way for a long long time. However, the internet line connection tonight is just simply terrible. Calling my dear "hubby", SIN LING, on Skype and MSN Messenger numerous times and kept getting disconnected! Streamyx - sometimes it is such a major disappointment. On the bright side, well... just a little good part about it is that Sin Ling and I would goof around whenever we have to start a new call. We would make strange funny and silly sounds such "elllooooo", "HAArrrrLLLoooooo" and etc. It's really good to hear your old friend's voice. Makes me miss the good old days....

Oh, just now in the house, I do not know how it all started but BINGO was the in-thing all of the sudden! Only for about half hour only though, everyone in the house was just having fun. Since there were seven of us, 5 by 5 boxes of BINGO would be too few. We ended up playing 6 by 6 boxes of Bingo. I could see that my housemates were really into it because they were like smiling mischievously when the right number was called and frowned when the number is unfavourable to them. I haven't played BINGO for so long. I was the fourth one to BINGO! All right... time to crash. bye~~

Technical Infection

I'm literally pulling my hair out! This is so frustrating! My laptop is infected by the a stupid virus that causes my Mozilla Firefox to be inaccessible! You know, everytime I double-click on the Mozilla Firefox icon, a pop-up says this "Use Internet Explorer YOU DOPE! I DUN hate Mozilla Firefox, but USE IE OR ELSE...." Manually I can't delete it because there is an autorun file that keeps regenerating this virus, which is just sickening! AVG Antivirus can detect it but it can't remove that darn file! I can't believe that this is fun for hackers!!????!?!?! Due to its existence, I wasted several hours trying to remove this virus! All were in vain.... Sigh... Went to prayer meeting just now, it helps. I feel much at peace right now. I'm going to do my assignment now and I shall let my friend try to fix it tomorrow.... I'm crossing my fingers that I am able to finish my report by tonight.

100th post

S.H.E. came to Penang the other day as guest performers for the Astro Talent Quest 2007. I heard this song '中國話' and find it very interesting. Pay attention to the lyrics, it's like tongue twister and I find it really difficult to rap with it. Enjoy!

sick in bed


Woke up this morning, feeling so drowsy. Skip two classes so far.. hopefully I am not gonna skip the last class of the day. I am mentally tired, my brain felt like its been run by a train over and over again. I hate being sick. I just absolutely hate it. It's as if you are a useless crap and you can't do anything about it. Sigh... I still have one report due this Wednesday and one assignment this Friday. My body wants to lie down on my bed and my brain is telling me to get to work. *cough* *cough* Damn... I'm having a headache now. At least one thing is for sure, sick people gotta eat! I'm gonna make myself some lunch. Ciao~

I'm Missing You

When I don't think about something, I wouldn't know how much I missed it. I haven't seen my parents for four weeks already. I was just typically thrilled to see them. However, when I hugged them goodbye before I board on the bus to go back to KL, I just realized how much I missed them. Tears kept flowing down my cheeks when the bus took off. Gosh, I missed them so much! Now I wanna go home! I really want to go back... I can't believe I'm crying now... ohhh this is pathetic...

BLAHHHHH

down with running nose.... sore throat... coughs..... and slowly into exhaustion. And I have a physiology report due tomorrow.... this can't be happening...*groan*




UPDATE* - I only have to hand in my report next week! that puts a little smile on my face :)

Home is Forever Sweet to Me

There I was, sleeping peacefully like a pig on my cozy bed. Suddenly someone jumped on me and started to hug me and shake me really hard, "Mei How, wake up already! It's already 9am! Get up!" I just can't help but smile when I think about how my Mum woke me up this morning. This reminds me once again, I am HOME! Though I did not plan to come back so early, I just love it when I get to indulge in this very moment. It's always great to be HOME! As always, when I get back here in Penang, I manage to get myself sick for quite a few times. When I went to the bathroom to freshen up, and out they went, brown coloured sputum and into the bathroom sink. I fall into FEVER mode if I don't drink up... so where's the hose?

When I try to get a bus ticket to come home yesterday afternoon, most of the buses to Penang were to start in the late evening. I was really not in favour of that at all because by the time I reached my destination, it will 10 or 11pm. And I don't want my Mum to drive alone especially after my aunt told me that it was rumoured that there were four Malay men in a green Honda car, number plate was WEX 223, whom were in Penang. Apparently, they were rapists, equipped with parang knifes. I don't know how true it is but it is still better be safe than sorry. Thankfully, after searching and praying frantically for an early bus, I finally found one that leaves at 4:30pm. What a relief! I wouldn't like to be stuck in Puduraya till 7:30pm as an alternative. Praise and Thank the LORD! And as usual, my Mum would go all out in cooking for dinner whenever anyone of her children is coming home. I had Sweet and Sour Pork, Salmon and Asparagus with Prawns.... YUM~

And oh, traffic was not that bad yesterday.

Contradiction

It's funny the way things work out that is always the opposite of what I had planned.
*
I planned to sleep early, ended up sleeping later than usual.
I planned to cook, I went out to eat with friends instead.
I planned to do revision, that is when I watch videos.
I planned not to go to class, a surprised pop quiz took place.
I planned to shut up, somehow managed to talk about a lot of nonsense.
I planned to be nice, once I open my mouth, I hurt someone.
etc. etc. etc.....

Why oh Why, that my body does not listen to my mind and my mind doesn't listen to my conscience?

Constant contradictions...
just makes my simple life so complicated.

Estactic


Slept for only four hours, my legs are numb after sitting for so long, so damn tired but all is worth it!!!! I HAVE FINISHED MY REPORT!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!

Tuesday, August 07, 2007

Unhappy Morning

Slept late yesterday...

Woke up late...

Late for class...

....not a little late but an hour late.

Totally missed out on the surprise quiz.

Totally bummed right now.

Sigh... what a great way to start off the morning.

Hopefully, the rest of the day would be turn out for the better.

An Easy Riddle

Its defenses is as weak as an ant,
its odour is worse as bad as men's feet,
its sense of direction is absolutely nonsense,
yet as it wanders around,
it has the ability to make girls scream at the top of their lungs,
running faster than a cheetah,
with faces turning as pale as ghost.
What is it?

FLYING COCKROACH!!!

It may not be the best riddle, but I came up with the riddle within 5 minutes, so cut me some slack here. And yes, this unexpected visitor came to our house causing a lot of mayhem in the house. Two girls screaming, three girls trying to whack it down and one girl thought that it would be best to act ignorant. First the bird and now this???? What's next??

Night Distraction

Was just sitting there in front of my laptop, minding my own work, then BOOM! BANG! BANG! Who in his right mind is firing up fireworks this late??!?!? It's almost midnight!!! I tried to ignore it, but then when one housemate went towards the noise to see the fireworks, the others will follow.


Nice fireworks but LOUD! Really LOUD!

An Escape from Everything

I haven't gone out and have fun for the longest time.... well, actually it's been three weeks, still, it seems pretty darn long. Yesterday finally came the opportunity for me to just get out of the house. Sometimes the aura of the world just mess with your conscience and drags you down in the pit, causing you to suffer the next day after much play... It's tragic I know and yet I do it all the time. It means I am so so weak.....

Anyway, went out with my cousins and friend yesterday. We went to Tony Roma's for a late lunch. Never been there before so we thought of giving it a go. It's setting and atmosphere somewhat somewhat similar to T.G.I's Friday. The food portion-wise is comparative to the prices set. The cheaper it is, the smaller the portion it is and vice versa. Moreover, I think at night it changes from a restaurant to a sophisticated pub as they serve a lot of various alcohol such as martini and wine. Food is not too bad but it could be better. I had the set lunch. The soup of the day was 'chicken noodle' soup. The name really sounds weird but it is literally bits and pieces of chicken boiled with bow-tie pasta and celery. I really dislike celery. The soup was not good at all, they have put too much pepper in it. Strange combination, too bad it doesn't work out that well. Later, I have Marinated Chicken Grill. The chicken was extremely small but it was very filling due to the french fries and coleslaw. Coleslaw tasted exactly like KFC's. Oh, the best part is that you are able to get unlimited refill on the soft drink that you ordered. Overall, it was just ok, I wouldn't say 5/5.

After a heavy lunch, we went to catch Transformers! I have been so anxious to watch the show as I got a lot of feedback from my friends saying that it was totally awesome. And I have to agree with them. It's funny, action-packed and I absolutely love the sound when they transform. The only critic that I would make is that the modal of the transformers in the movie differs slightly from the original in the cartoons back in the early nineties. It was really great as you got the hot actress and goofy male leading actress, you are definitely in for a good time.

We went to my cousin's place for dinner after we picked up my other cousin from class. My aunt has prepared Fried Chicken, Steamed Fish, Mixed Vegetables, Prawns, Fried Lady's Finger and ABC soup. It was insane for her to cook so much. For her to take the time to slice, dice, season and cook, it was really unbelievable, I really felt the love. We prayed sincerely together with the elderly brothers and sisters before we eat. I was extremely full but there was more to come. They had prepared star fruits, mangoes and ice cream. They just want to fill us up. I probably gained a few pounds since yesterday.

Finally the night come to an end, they dropped me back home and I fell straight into my bed and slept for nine hours. *sarcastically* Great way to burn the calories..... just great....
