Kota Kinabalu: A World of Its Own

2011-05-23T02:34:00.000-07:00

Gina and I decided that we should take a trip somewhere, just to walk around and do some exploring. So we decided on Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

The flight to KK was sorta bumpy. During take off, Gina was laughing her ass off (probably because she was panicking), while I was gripping my seat tight and staring wide eyed at the seat in front of me with my pale face. I'm not a big fan of flying..

Once we landed in the airport in KK, we took the taxi to the KK waterfront to check the place out, and then headed to Tune Hotel.

The next day, we took a tour to see Mt.Kinabalu. I was really looking forward to that because I do plan to climb that mountain soon. And Oh.. My..God.... what a bloody huge mountain it was!!

It was freakishly HUGE! The peak of the mountain is entirely granite, and was completely covered with thick clouds.

After some souvenir shopping, we headed to the Poring Hot Springs & Canopy Walk. The Canopy Walk was sort of scary, mainly because it was a single plank (dangling about 41m high) with nets on each side. Gina was having a hard time walking across that, and I was having fun watching her take baby steps. hahahaha!!

After that, Gina and I got to jump into an icy cold swimming pool, that was made up of cold mountain water. We tried swimming towards the 6feet end, but the water was seriously so cold, that we had to go back to our 5feet end.

All in all, I loved Sabah. I cannot wait to go back there again. :)

Vivaz Pro

2011-04-29T05:56:00.000-07:00

Finally bought a new phone and got rid of my lame ass Samsung Omnia Pro..one of the world's most suckiest phones ever.. instead I bought myself a Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro. I admit that i'm still trying to get to know the phone, but I think I could not ask for more.. it has ALL that I need and want in a mobile phone. It came with 8Gigs of memory, has HD recording, mobile GPS, WiFi, a slide up QWERTY Keypad and a 3.2'' touchscreen.

I'm sure she'll be posting more soon. Check her blog out - I Beg To Differ

I just bought Grey's Season 7. Been watching it non stop. I have one thing to say.... HELL YEAH!!

IPL season is BACK! Could I possibly ask for anything more right now!???

Kochi Tuskers Kerala is making its appearance this season. Can't wait to see how their team will fare. Of course I'm not jumping ships, I'm with Chennai all the way. But at the moment, I'm torn between choosing Bangalore and Cochin as my 2nd team to support.

The Mallu blood in me is sorta pushing me towards Tuskers. My mum doesn't even watch cricket, yet she's all like "We MUST support Kochi!".. hahaha

Oh well. I'm just glad IPL is back.

Catching Up

2011-04-04T08:48:00.000-07:00

Just finished my two month internship. It was my very first work experience and a very good one too I must say.

Anyway, now I'm back home and I need to catch up with all the things I haven't had a chance to do for the past two months -i.e tennis, tv, music, sleeping

I plan to make my sister get me the 2nd season of Buffy and the latest season on Grey's. Why? Well it is one of the few series that is worth watching, and I cannot get enough of it.

I also need to finish the Trueblood season 3 DVD I have.

I had a great time playing tennis with Harri and Preets today. We were rusty as usual, BUT we WILL improve :P I can assure you that.

Music to my ears

2011-03-21T02:19:00.000-07:00

I realise that everytime I turned the radio on, they play the same damn song ALL THE TIME. I mean if the song is catchy, you sing along to it.. but really after listening to it like 100 times on air, you get sick. This week alone, how many times have you heard the radio play these songs : Grenade - Bruno Mars, Born This Way- Gaga, Firework - Katy Perry

So I decided that a change of radio station was in order. I now am an avid listener of GOLD 90.5FM. Old is gold they say. Damn, it sure is.. I get this really nice feeling inside of me when I drive at night while Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe" is playing on air, and I'm singing along to it.. AND they sure as hell don't play it 100 times a week.

Speaking of good music.. (I know I'm a bit late on this, but) I am so in love with Adele. Gosh where did that voice come from? 23 years old only, yet you can see how much she puts her feelings into her songs. She also did a cover of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love". The beautiful music video plus her excellent vocals made me sob like a little baby.

I definitely need to buy her album.

Nothing like having a reminder that good music is not extinct.

Valentine's Day

2011-02-13T09:50:00.000-08:00

To sum this day up well, here's a quote from a movie I love, Valentine's Day -

" To some people, love doesn't exist unless you acknowledge it in front of other people".

What is Valentines Day? Well I don't really know. I don't.

People start worrying about what to get their loved ones, where to take them, how to surprise them. There's a lot of red involved. Lots of mushy poems and songs are dedicated to each other.

I agree with people who say that everyday has to be Valentine's Day. Treat people you love like it's the last day you'll see them. Shower them with love, gifts and your time everyday.. not just once a year.

Well of course there has to be one day where you let all the hype take over and get yourself lost in the mood of the occasion. Yes sure there is. That one day that I romanticize, letting my imagination take me over. That one day that gives me the warm and fuzzy feeling inside. A day where I want to sit with the one I love, and listen to music and dance alone with them. A day where public profession of love is allowed. A day where carrying out every stereotype that comes along with it, is considered fun. A legitimate holiday. A day that deserves every bit of the hype it gets.

Christmas

Those who're reading this, might go "Wtf".. I don't blame you guys

Anyway, for what it's worth, Valentine's Day is incredibly fun. You get to smother your close friends with sloppy kisses , give them bear hugs and refuse to let them go, and have them sing songs for you all in the name of love.

Smile a little for me

2011-02-07T10:58:00.000-08:00

Smile every chance you get. Smile for even the silliest and smallest reasons.

You never know..

Your smile might be the reason someone out there wants to smile too.

Your smile might be the reason a cold heart melts.

Your smile might be the reason a person falls in love.

So smile

Push

2011-02-05T06:33:00.000-08:00

I have so much to write, but somehow I can't put all my feelings into words.

I am feeling so much emotions at the same time, it's hard for me to focus and feel just one. I feel all of it, rushing all at once. It feels like it's too much to take. I am not prepared for this obviously.

The ones I love, have always stuck by my side even through this. They are offering me words of comfort, a shoulder to cry on, and ears to listen to all I have to say. I can't find the strength to tell them how much I cherish and appreciate them for all the times they've helped me get up on my feet. I am so blessed to have them by my side.

This is not easy. This never was. But if it was real, then it should have made me the happiest woman alive. Instead I let it tear me up continuously for years. I let it bring me down, and make me doubt myself, and who I am.

I always believed that love and friendship go together. When love is gone, at least friendship remains. But I was proven wrong. Some don't even appreciate the remaining friendship. For these people, I have nothing left to give. No more words to say. No more smiles to offer. Nothing.

When I feel down, like I am right now.. I think about real life stories that make me realize that the problems I am facing are nothing compared to the things that others have faced.

I know of this lady who had a kind face and a nice smile. Her daughter passed away at the age of 18. The daughter was a really beautiful dancer and singer. So much dreams her mother would have had for her. How her mother would have loved her. But she died. Years after that, I saw her mother once again. Even though you could see the sadness etched in her face, she kept a smile for every person she greeted. If you ever read this aunty, I just want to tell you that even though I don't really know you, I know that God is always going to be with you. He has given you so much strength, that even people around you are inspired to be stronger all because of you.

A Rainy Affair

2011-01-30T00:35:00.000-08:00

It has been raining a lot lately. In fact it has been raining about at least 6hours a day for the last week. But I'm not complaining at all.

I love rain. I don't know why, but I just do.

Maybe it's the joy I get when I smell the rain, even before it rains.

Maybe it's the way the strong wind feels on my skin.

Maybe it's the way the beautiful dark clouds align themselves against each other in the sky, competing to see which one of them reaches earth first.

Maybe it's the stroke of lightning that lights up the sky, like a ringmaster cracking his whip, heightening the anticipation of the show yet to come.

Maybe it's the rhythm of the rain that changes from a slow drizzle to a sudden rush of water.

Maybe it's the sound of the howling wind, forcing its way through every nook and cranny.

Maybe it's the way it feels to lay in bed under my blanket, while listening to the rain outside my window.

Maybe it's the sadness I feel when the rain slowly recedes, the clouds move away from me, and the wind goes miles away, finding other ankles to play about.

All I can do is bid the rain goodbye and smile, as I know we will meet again.

The Road

2010-12-25T09:19:00.000-08:00

Never thought I would get here, but here I am. Bachelor of Business Management with a major in International Business. To finally have that scroll in my hands and to see my parents smile with pride, made those 3 years worth of hard work, stress, and tears worth it. During those 3 year, I have doubted myself, lost hope and given up, but there was always someone who stood by my side and helped me through it. Lord Krishna, you have been there for me through thick and thin, and you bring me so much happiness.

Life officially begins. Time to live

For all the times You've been by my side and given me the will to go on.

All glories be to Lord Hari, who's Love can melt even the coldest hearts.

Spring's here

2010-09-04T23:24:00.000-07:00

Sept already? Dayummm...

This sem is pretty packed. Loads of assignments and presentations to do, but I'm glad that its all spaced out properly so I have enough time for each of it.

Been wondering what dramas to watch. As far as I know all the new ones suck. So I'm sticking to Criminal Minds. There's a new season coming real soon. Can't wait.. I love Joe Mantegna.. Tere's just something about him. I don't know what, but he's just so likable..

I'm also downloading Dexter, because I heard its pretty good. We'll have to see.. Also watching few episodes of Vampire Diaries. Some bits of the storyline reminds me of Twilight, but its a much better version. I still haven't found a series that really catches my attention the way Criminal Minds does. All these sci fi/fantasy stuff is getting really boring. I need something new..

Speaking of needing something new.. I do need something new. A change in a good way. An addition to the picture. Maybe when the time is right I guess.. I'm leaving it all up to Him. Haribol...

Aaaanyway.. The U.S Open just started. I'm trying to stay up to see some of the the matches. I really don't want the usual people to win this tournament, because that would just be boring. Glad that Serena's out. Let's see if Wozniacki, Dementieva, Clijsters, or Stosur can pull it off this time. Stosur will be facing Elena in the next round. Elena's pretty good, but she's got a large record of really bad serves. Stosur was amazing in the French Open, but then again that was a clay court, while the U.S Open matches are played on a hard court.

We'll just have to wait and see..

Why Regret?

2010-05-05T03:22:00.000-07:00

Regret. It is an emotion that constantly bugs us at the back of our minds. Things we should/shouldn't have done, Words we shouldn't/should have said, opportunities we should/shouldn't have taken. There always comes a time in everyone's lives when we look back and feel a sudden pang of regret. If only..What if.. I could have..I should have..

When it comes to me, I try my best not to feel any regret. I believe, things happen for a reason. God plans who we're supposed to meet, people we're supposed to love, places that we're suppose to end up in. How we deal with what happens to us along the way, is up to us however.

I for one do not regret a lot of things that have happened to me(things which have caused me great pain). I don't regret having been in love when I was 17, I don't regret fighting with some of my best friends, and I don't regret not doing some things that I should have done back when I was in high school.

Why? ....

Because, every one of those things made me learn. I am who I am, because I have learnt from the past. I learnt what love is and what its like to care for someone, I learnt how to appreciate my best friends and how much their friendship means to me. I learnt how to forgive. I learnt not to complain about things that cannot be changed. I learnt to see the best in other people.

Regret. You spend a lot of time feeling regret, and when you've finally opened your eyes you'll see that half your life is gone.

This is the only life you'll ever know of. Live your life with no regrets.

Xenophobia

2010-04-24T06:12:00.000-07:00

My friends and I have been talking about a few things lately. Mainly its about whats happening back at home. Although I'm not a huge fan of the current govt, but the changes and initiatives taken by our PM did give me a tiny bit of hope. But every time I feel hopeful, the VERY next second everything crumbles, because some MPs would come along and blab their mouths, making some of us feel sick.

I mean, we ARE in the 21st century. Why can't policies be made to benefit a country as a WHOLE and not just ONE race. But come to think of it, I don't think it benefits ANY race. You still see poor people of all races living in horrible conditions, squatting, begging, unable to access proper water and electric supply, or even basic education (in East M'sia)

Whenever a policy that COULD benefit everyone is introduced, there ALWAYS will be an uproar. "This is against the constitution", "This policy will make THAT race richer", "This policy does not help OUR race", "We will fight against such policies".

Why? Why are some individuals SOOO against helping people in general? Why do we have to look at the colour of our skin before lending a hand? Did God tell you that? Did He say, "I command you to help ONLY your own race"?

What are you scared of? Are you scared because a change in the policy would mean EQUAL benefits for all, and that would be a complete change from what we're used to since we gained independence? You're scared of the unknown. You're scared of something new, something you're not used to. Therefore, you protest.

But I am here not to criticize you or to mock you. I am here to say to my fellow brothers and sisters of all races, I love my country. Why? Because of you. I love it because YOU are in it. I see Malays, Indians, Chinese people when I walk out of my house, and I feel so at home. I hear people speaking Malay, and I smile. Thats my national language. Those are MY people. This is MY country.

If I could make this country better, I would do it because it would bring ALL of us great happiness. What is the point in ONLY the Indians being happy when the rest not? What is the point of the Malays being happy, when the rest are not? What is the point of the Chinese being happy, when the rest are not?

Our skin is just a colour. We're humans first and foremost. Why don't we behave like one.

Sydney

2010-04-08T06:23:00.000-07:00

So its the Easter break at the moment, am I'm already feeling bored. I have LOADS and LOADS of assignments to do. Not that I'm attempting to get a start on any of them at the moment.

AAAnyway, I went to Sydney few days back, with Aimee and Jia Hui. Gosh. We had a real blast. So many things to see and do, yet so little time. We have to thank Kae Herng for bringing us around and about. She was a really good tour guide. *APPLAUSE*

We to University of Sydney, Bondi Beach, the Fish Market, Chinatown, Paddy's market, University of Technology Sydney, the Opera House, had a cool view of the Harbour Bridge..

damn. and we ate like there was no tomorrow. Everytime I ate, I felt like I was gonna explode. But we always managed to eat some more.

So in short, Sydney was AMAZING. A really good place to visit, if you like travelling.

2010

2010-01-12T00:35:00.001-08:00

WOW. 2009 is over already?? Amazing how fast a whole year can go by.. It feels as if I just celebrated Jan 01 2009 with Steven and Mum, and sis.

What do I say about 2009? It was a rehab year. I quietened down, and learnt more about myself. I learnt to appreciate things/people/places more than I ever did before. And I also learnt that your relationship with your best friends will never change, even though you're a thousand miles away from them. Its a really nice feeling. I also realized how much I love Steven. He's one person who has always been there for me since we were 15. Through all the ups and downs of high school and college and University, he's the one person who's been my rock.

Anyway, so The Australian Open's here! Gosh, this is really so exciting!! I've got my money on both the Belgians this time.

Let the games BEGIN ;)

To the Majority of the Minority

2009-12-08T21:29:00.000-08:00

You obviously would not understand this post. Which is why I posted this.

To those of you who fall under the minority category:

Lets say, the minority = 100%

Out of this one hundred percent, 95% (or the majority of the minority group), have some similar characteristics. Lets call them group A. And these people who fall under group A, are the

ones making my life difficult. They spoil it for the rest of us 5%( Group B). Because of group A, group B is also affected.

But, because both groups fall under the minority category, therefore people assume that everyone there is the same. FALSE.

I hate the 95%. I don't hate the fact that you club, have random sex, drink, do drugs. I hate the fact that when you do these things, it reflects badly on us group B. Because we're not like that.

I consider myself a conservative who is open minded. I am open to the fact that people around me are free to do whatever they want, but I am conservative when it comes to me. I do not let myself do things that I'm not supposed to do. I still have strong traditional values, and I like the fact that I am very attached to my family and close friends and I feel responsible towards them. I like the fact that I am exploring my religion, and at the same time understanding other religions and respecting them.

Basically, I am not Group A. I still fall under the minority category. But whatever your impressions are about us minorities, I am not that. We group B, are not like that. That's group A.

We do not want anything. We don't wanna go to clubs. We don't like humping everyone we meet

around the corner. We don't do drugs. We have strong family and traditional values instilled in us. What we would like, however is :

1) For people to realize that these two groups are completely DIFFERENT.

2) Live our dreams (i.e graduating, getting a job, making our parents proud)

Summer Hols

2009-12-08T20:56:00.000-08:00

Summer holidays have started, and I'm back home in M'sia. Realized how much I've missed home, and my friends.

Spent my first two weeks here playing badminton at the court every two days, and I even got a new Yonex.

But I really really miss Gina and Stevie a lot..I miss talkin to Alu as well. I'm feeling pretty bored and down coz im stuck at home half of the time, and I feel like I need some excitement.

I can't believe I still do facebook searches on a certain someone. They keep using old pics, I've seen throughout the year..hmm..no new pics? Gina's been askin me to carry out the Gurudwara plan..

If I carry out that plan, and If I don't get a reply email , or If I've been reported as spam, OR, if I get a sarcastic reply, then I really wouldn't know where to put my face..

So, I've been watching ASTRO since I got back home. The only channels I watch on tv is CNN, BBC news, Star World, Star Sports, National Geographic channel coz the rest are just shit. ESPECIALLY MTV.

And have you listened to the radio lately??? What kind of shit songs are they playing?? So called rock bands, gangstas and pop singers.. SHIT MUSIC! JUST SHIT!

I'll give you a couple of examples of these people:

All American Rejects & Boys Like Girls(and the million other pop rock bands that sound like them), Fall Out Boy( used to be good, but fame made them suck), Jo Bros(a.k.a Orgasmic Bros), Lil Wayne(predator ), Kesha(blonde dumb bitch/ Taylor Swift gone wrong), Lady Gaga( god help her)

Emily & Zooey Deschanel

Sue the couch potato

2009-09-05T09:57:00.000-07:00

So its a saturday night, and I'm doing what I love doing every saturday night. Internet, hot chocolate, couch, pizza, movie. Perfect.

Two nights back, I did something that I've always felt like doing. It was about 2am in the morning, and I was not sleepy. So I took my phone and my headset, and went to sit in my veranda. Sat there, watching the moon, while listening to trance music on my phone. Saw birds flying under the moonlit sky.

Life at its best, is when everyone else goes to sleep. It feels like the universe is communicating with you.

September

2009-08-27T23:44:00.000-07:00

I don't know wtf is wrong with some Malaysian banks. Can't you people get a simple T.T through to Australia? DUDE its like a life and death situation. I need to get my fees paid, and if that T.T doesn't get through, then I'M FUCKING SCREWED.

The workload I have this semester.. Damn.

Financial Management, Business Law, Organisational Behaviour, Business Policy & Strategy.

God help me.

But some classes are fine, I guess. Like business law lectures. Can't keep my eyes off the board *cough cough*

The other day, I was sitting in an O.B lecture, and when I turned around, You Know Who was there. LIKE HOW DID I MISS THAT??? Since when were you in my O.B lecture?
Distraction distraction... In a good way. Heh.

BTW, yellow and pink looks good on you.

Thoughts in Solitude

2009-08-14T21:24:00.000-07:00

Being away from home is a good thing. I mean, yea I miss mum & sis a lot.
But here in Ipswich, for the first time in my life, I feel like I have time for myself.
I'm glad that I didn't go to Brisbane right away in my first sem. I will be going there next Feb, but for now, Ipswich is somewhat like a place for me to reflect on certain things in life.

Before I came to Aussie, my life was a whole lot different. I always had the need to do something, to please someone, or to conform to the needs of society, in general.
My life is complicated (trust me, VERY complicated ) and I was always complaining about it. I was always going on about how hard it is to go through this and that. There was always something that I always HAD to complained about.

But sitting here thinking , I realize this. Life is complicated. PERIOD.
But we can choose to ignore the complications. So this certain part of your life/friends/family is screwed up? Going through depression? People don't understand you? Feel out of place? People telling you to do this and do that? Hmmph, so be it. Just smile and turn your back on all of it.
Look out your window. The sun is shining. Wind is blowing. Birds are singing. All that matters is you and what you choose to do today.

Don't listen to people who have a bias view on matters. They are not worth having a conversation with. Talk to people who are open to your views and see your side of the argument, although they don't quite agree with you. Maturity is not about age. Life is about being yourself. If you can roll in mud, climb a tree, and play with kids in the playground, even when you're 30 years old, and yet stand your ground when it comes to upholding your values, then thats what I call being mature. Have an outline of where you want to go in life. But avoid making plans. Plans don't always work out.

And NEVER let people impose their values on you, and vice versa. Everyone has a right to their own beliefs, and people should respect that.

"It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts. ".. ~K.T. Jong

A time where bloggers make more sense then politicians

2009-08-14T21:08:00.001-07:00

This is a post from Patrick Teoh's blog . Is it just me, or are bloggers these days making more sense than politicians??

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

Thank You UMNO Youth!

I woke up to some good news this morning. After my morning coffee I surfed the Net for the morning news. And read in The Malaysian Insider that "Umno Youth says PAS stands for DAP". Wah! Damn loud stuff early in the morning and proves right away that Umno Youth can't spell. Hahahaha...sorry coffee and Malaysian news has that effect on me in the morning. But I digress.

The Malaysian Insider today reported "PAS’s Pakatan Rakyat (PR) partner DAP was portrayed as the enemy of Islam and the Malays, and the Islamist party was chastised for bending to the will of the Chinese-dominated party, before a gathering of more than 1,000 mostly Malay residents (here). The vitriolic attacks against PR by Umno Youth leaders at last night’s rally here suggests the Barisan Nasional (BN) lynchpin is determined to continue its hardline racial rhetoric to create a siege mentality among the Malays to unite behind them"

Bending to the will of the Chinese-dominated party? Really? Why? Just because somebody from DAP pointed out that there was no law, yet, allowing seizure of beer from convenience stores? What else? There probably could be something else but as a Chinese fler I really don't see any big deal that PAS is bending to. Except maybe PAS is bending from the onslaught of silly "hardline racial rhetoric" from Umno in their bid to try and rally Malay support by constantly harping on racial insecurities.

Aiyoh! Why I digress so much ah? I said I woke up to some good news, right? Okay, okay...here it is.

One Umno Youth Exco member, Lokman Adam (who apparently was a founding member of PKR so he is now a froggie singing a different tune for a different master) was asking why the Shah Alam Municipal Council now controlled by PR did not revoke the license for Carlsberg brewery to operate in the district.

Why PR did not revoke the licence for the Carlsberg Brewery to operate? Why? Are you thick or what? Oh sorry, redundant question that. First, it would mean thousands would lose their jobs. Second, the state would lose millions in revenue. Third, and this is a genuine question. Islam forbids alcohol consumption for its followers. But does it impose its edicts on people of other faiths in the same community? Fourth, who was the state government when the licence was granted and why did the previous government not revoke it since you are now saying that it is so wrong to have it in the first place?

Lokman also said, "When PAS wanted to ban alcohol, they did not refer to the Quran or the Sunnah, but they referred the matter to DAP." Hey! As a thinking Malaysian I'd say Sybas! to PAS for that. Shows they are good Muslims as far as I'm concerned. They want to ban alcohol for Muslims (because it is against the religion to consume alcohol) but they also understand that the ban would have implications on others of their fellow-citizens living in the same community. So they start a dialogue to arrive at a solution that would benefit the whole community irregardless of race or creed. No good meh? Then I sure won't vote for you in the next election la.

Another Umno fler also said, "Don’t think that a vote for PAS is a vote for Islam. It did not happen in Penang, or in Selangor. Instead Islam has been insulted." Hiyoh! We have heard so much about Islam being "insulted" that has become damn tiring la. Can these politicians please explain HOW Islam has been insulted by anyone recently? I really want to understand.

And finally, Selangor Umno Youth chief Suhaimi Ghazali said, "Maybe one day pork will be sold openly in Shah Alam". (Sigh. How low can these politicians sink in trying to win votes?)

Hey when that day comes we will truly have the 1Malaysia that Najib is shouting about. People of all races and creeds living in harmony with perfect understanding and acceptance. Without insulting anyone and without imposing unfairly on anyone. Without fear. Isn't that what you want too?

So you must be asking what is the good news Patrick is talking about? No meh? It's good news because if the Umno flers continue with their campaign of trying to incite fear and racial disharmony that's a sure sign their on their way out. Isn't it?

Bad Things

2009-07-17T00:01:00.000-07:00

There's this show on HBO called True Blood. Pretty cool show about vampires ( not lame sparkly ones), and I love the opening song.

Jace Everett- Bad Things

I wanna do bad things with you.

When you came in the air went out.
And every shadow filled up with doubt.
I don't know who you think you are,
But before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.

I'm the kind to sit up in his room.
Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue.
I don't know what you've done to me,
But I know this much is true:
I wanna do bad things with you.

When you came in the air went out.
And all those shadows there are filled up with doubt.
I don't know who you think you are,
But before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.
I wanna do real bad things with you.
Ow, ooh.

I don't know what you've done to me,
But I know this much is true:
I wanna do bad things with you.
I wanna do real bad things with you.

Two pathetic people make good bffs..

So last night, I was msn-ing Steven..and as usual, we were emo-ing about certain stuff.
Then my MSN got cut off suddenly, so I decided to call Steven instead.

and Oh My GOD..we were going on and on about our problems..
I don't think I even talk to any girl friends about my problems. The only person I talk to is Steven. But then again, he is like an exact replica of me, and we did go thru rough times together, which is why I feel pretty comfortable talking to him.

so anyway, the conversation was like 2 girl bff's..except that, he's a guy..but he kinda thinks like a girl..but i really don't care..LOL

Sigh, its like period. Every month, there comes a time when i feel so down n depressed thinkin about certain things..Steven goes through the very same thing.

WHY OH WHY...life's so weird. Why am I sooo pathetic???!

But I'm glad i've got a best friend who understands what I'm going thru. Thank God for that.

When you're sitting alone thinking, and it suddenly hits you..

Many people get happiness and stability in life. But some people have to choose between both.
I wonder if I will ever get to be happy, or would I have to constantly think about other people's happiness, and how they feel about whatever it is that I want to do? Sometimes, people should just back off, and let the rest of us be happy. I've only got one life. And when the time comes for me to die, and I find that I regret NOT living my life, then the only person I can blame is myself.

But after 20 years of living, I've learned not to ask "WHY GOD", and just shut up and deal with it. I also want to thank HIM for giving me a best friend whom I can relate to. GOD works in funny ways, and you won't know why HE does certain things. But sooner or later, we'll see why.
Right now, I don't understand a LOT of things. But then again, there's nothing I can do about it. So, deal with it I shall...

Back Home

2009-07-14T02:26:00.000-07:00

So, its been two weeks since I've been back in JB ..AND I'M LOVING IT!!

Its sooo good to be home..But i'm leaving next week, for Brisbane..

Gonna be starting my 2nd sem of my 2nd year..sigh..I'm sooo not looking forward to doing Finance and Business Law, but i'm glad Gerrie, Pei Wen and some of the others will be taking those two subjects as well..

So anyway, i met up with Gina, Jeya, Bilal, and some of my cousins...had sooo much fun at Mid Valley...gosh..

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.....

2009-06-25T01:43:00.000-07:00

Finally !! God!! thank u!!! im done with my exams..

Kinda surprising how the paper that I didn't spend much time studying, turned out to be the easiest paper compared to the rest. Oh well..

Another two more days and I'm back home...I can't wait!! The first thing i'm gonna do is eat and eat and eat!!!! Nasi lemak, kuey teow, satay with ketupat, rendang ayam, murtabak, tom yam....

I miss mum a lot and I can't wait to give her a big hug..
I can't wait to see Gina and Billy...miss them a LOT!!

Might only post next when I'm back home in Bolehland.

Peace OUT!

Everyone seems to be done with their exams!! $%$#@

2009-06-18T22:41:00.000-07:00

ARRRRGH!!!!! I know my QUT friends are almost done with their exams..
Most of my fellow UQ classmates have like 1 or 2 more papers to do...
and me?? I've got 3 papers BACK TO BACK !!!
CURSES!!!!!

Anyway, here's something that cheered me up..

Just one more week...

2009-06-17T08:21:00.000-07:00

Just one more week before I fly home..man I can't wait.
Aussie is great and all, but seriously, there's nothing like home.

So anyway today, nothing much..studying for the papers next Tues,Weds and Thurs. Yeah back to back. SHIT i call it. shit.

But I had a really good time earlier on talking to Aaron on MSN, about Malaysian Politics..a subject we both LOVE and can go on and on about..
Lucky guy, he's studying in Victoria University of Wellington, majoring in Political Science. I know he loves it, coz he was going on about how easy he found Political Science compared to Economics.
I hope everything goes well, then I also can take my Political Science major in addition to International Business. I'll keep my fingers crossed anyway.
Damn these exams. I hate studying.

I think youngsters like Aaron, Samantha (and I ..hehehe) can really contribute a lot to Malaysia in general. Not because we can, but because we want to. The government should have open forums for students to participate in and voice out their opinions on how the country is being run, and suggestions as to how it can be improved. God knows we need a serious change over here.

I mean, most graduates want to study, stay and live abroad. But only some of us actually care about whats going on at home. And someday, I know I'd like to do something for my country.Talk about being a true blue Malaysian..hehe

Hope

I was kinda confused + sad+ worried when Raja Petra wrote on Malaysia Today saying that he would be handing over Malaysia Today to a certain group of people. I mean, Malaysia Today is like THE place to get the latest gossips (truth) and scandals (truth) about our politician. I mean, Malaysia Today without RPK, is like McDonalds without the clown. Get what I mean?

But luckily he wrote on his blog again saying that he's not "leaving MT".
RPK - "I plan to split MT into two. The present one would remain as it is and be more Blog-oriented. The new site would be called Malaysia Today Daily and would be a news-based site".

YESSSS!!!!

On another topic, I don't know if you people have heard of Dr. Farish Ahmad-Noor. He REALLY knows his stuff when it comes to politics, and history. He also is a Senior Fellow at Nanyang Technological University (a Malaysian btw). He would be an IDEAL person to hold top posts in our government. Gosh and he talks so much sense. Check out his articles in The Other Malaysia, a website that he co-founded.

Gosh its sooo quiet in here...its 5.30pm but the sky is pitch black, man.
But thank God it was sunny the whole day, I did not have to put on multiple layers of clothing. The only thing that spoilt the whole day for me was those fucking parrots screeching their lungs out from 7am till now.

Earlier on, I was panicking coz I couldn't find my ATM card. I thought I was screwed coz next week I gotta pay for my airport pickup service to send me to the airport, then no ATM card how to take out money la kan. But luckily I remembered that I put my atm card inside one of my shorts, in the cupboard. My mother always said I was careless...Looks like I'm determined to prove her right.

Its been like two years?

2009-06-15T08:14:00.000-07:00

Well as you can see, I haven't touched my blog since I was doing my Pre-U in Sunway.
A lot has happened between 2007 - 2009, but I don't really know how the fuck to blog about two years worth of story in here. So lets press the fast forward button *eeeeeeeee* (that was the sound of me being fast forward-ed to the future) And stop. Play.

Now I'm here, in Ipswich. Sitting and wondering what the fuck am I doing blogging when I'm supposed to be studying. This babe has a lot of time to bust la. Her exam next week pun tak kisah. What to do . I've been distracted. by a fly..oh a fly....

Err..anyway. Forget what just happened.

So if any of you Malaysians, in and out of Malaysia have been keeping up with the news, and by news I mean NEWS. If you read NST, Star, Utusan or Berita Harian it doesn't count lah brudder sorry. They don't print half the shit that's really going on. I would suggest you start reading The NutGraph , The Malaysian Insider , Malaysia Today.

Ya, Malaysia Today is still alive. I know Raja Petra is on the run, but he still finds the time to blog, bless his soul. And that man has some seriously good articles over there.

So many things going on back at home. Damn lah. This Australian politics tak happening langsung.

Only in Malaysia can you see, people fighting screaming,crying, protesting, backstabbing, calling names..all in the name of democracy . But as you all know, we are far from being a democratic country. In the words of VK Lingam "Correct, correct, correct"..

So anyway, I was thinking about commenting on this whole Chin Peng issue. But, I haven't reached my 20th birthday yet. And I wouldn't like to spend it in ISA.

Apparently, I would be called a communist sympathiser , and be shot dead by the armed forces, if I say that Chin Peng should be allowed to come back. So, its better if I don't say anything lah kan.

Coz, Malaysia democratic country what ...

Fun fact for all you Malaysian politic junkies out there. Go do a Google Image search on "Badawi sleeping"...hehehe

Thn i say.."OH..."...i even got an close up pic of it....so then dad and i waited for mum to come..she was shopping at the Body Shop..............

...we also went to Harris....i bought a new Agatha Christie book....but after The Da Vinci Code thriller, i was doubtful if this time Agatha Christie would put me on the edge of my seat...
