Special Request

2008-03-19T00:35:00.002+08:00

This is a special request from my friends whom i categorized them as caring and sweet friends, those who left message in my blog asking why don't i update my blog; those who asked me when i met them recently. To my surprise, there's actually quite alot of them reading and updating my news through this abandoned blog. I didn't know until recently. Coz usually i don't get too many response and i never thought there's anyone who will consistently visiting here for my updates. I'm so sorry my friends.

I've been trying to hide and escape myself from facing some question that i don't want to be asked anymore. Something that i wish i could just erase from my experience in my life. But as time passes by, i know i cannot keep hiding since there's so many out there are actually caring for me.

Here, i'm dedicating this entry to everyone out there, after abandoning my blog for such a long time. Thanks for giving me the courage and encouraging me to start back my blogging life. Thanks alot my dear friends! Hugs and Kisses!

The Breaskup Test: 5 Questions to Ask Before Giving "Em the Boot

2007-12-27T17:25:00.000+08:00

While signing in to my Yahoo! mail just now, this topic appears at today's featured and caught my attention. Clicked on the link and started reading the article. I found it quite true and would like to share with you guys here. I'll just copy the whole article here just in case those visiting my blog not able to read it after today. It helps to analyze your relationship and you should ask yourself that 5 questions before asking for a break up.

Is it better to be the breaker-upper or the dumpee?

With so much attention being paid to those poor people dumped every year, no one ever takes time to think about what it's like to be the dumper. Hardly an enviable position, the decision to break up with someone can breed feelings of guilt, paralysis and depression.To alleviate some of this anxiety, here's a list of 5 questions to ask yourself before you give someone the boot.

Question 1: Has There Been a Major Change in My Life?

Relocation, career change, an illness -- any of these factors can trigger problems in a relationship. If you're stressed out about something, be it a job or family problem, it's all too tempting to generalize these feelings to include your partner. It's very easy to think that if you got out of this relationship you would feel better. In reality, you need to deal with the problem rather than blame it on your partner.

Question 2: What's My Happiness Ratio?
Being blissfully in love with your partner 24/7 is a wonderful concept in theory, but as we all know, real-world relationships rarely live up to these expectations. Many people assume that they have to be 100 percent satisfied with their partners in order to stick with them, but good luck ever finding this perfect scenario! A better strategy would be to adopt the 80 percent rule. Ask yourself: Am I satisfied with my partner 80 percent of the time or more? If the answer is yes, then you're working with pretty good odds. If the answer is no, you may want to consider moving on.

Question 3: Is He/She Abusive?

Abusive behavior comes in many forms. There's physical abuse where someone hits, slaps or shoves you. A verbally abusive partner degrades you with harsh words and insults. And the most difficult to identify and pinpoint: psychological abuse. This form of abuse can involve overly controlling behavior, emotional blackmail, and episodes of extreme jealousy.

Question 4: Have I Expressed My Frustration?

Many of us think that if our partner was right for us, he/she would be able to understand our needs intuitively without us ever having to communicate. While it would be great if our partners could just read our minds, the truth is that few of us are telepathic. Good communication is required in every relationship. So before you give your partner their walking papers, make sure to discuss your doubts and concerns so they have a chance to make it up to you.

Question 5: Am I Willing to Work at It?

Whatever your gripes or complaints, there's one factor that can make or break your union: your mutual desire to work on the relationship. If you're not both committed to improving your quality of life together, there's very little hope for the future. And remember, actions speak louder than words. If both of you make a concerted effort to work on the relationship and make the necessary changes that are required, there's really no reason to call it quits.

So that's the whole article. Just a lil checklist for those in a relationship, remember don't call it off so easily. It takes time and faith to be what you both are today. So much love and care have been contributed to nurture the flower of love. Let's see it blossom~! Cheers~

Wishing you all Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year~

Gaming Theory vs Relationship

2007-12-27T11:47:00.000+08:00

UNO Stacko is one of the many variations of the card game UNO. This game is a blcck-stacking tower game which combines the gameplay of Uno and Jenga. I guess everyone should be familiar with this game without anymore further description.

Why would i compare this game with relationship? Me myself couldn't explain why. This idea just pop out out of nowhere when i was in dilemma.

Relationship, not only friendship, family as well as love pertaining the criteria of give and take. On the other hand, in playing this block-stacking game, players' move are determined by rolling the die, what you could do is just to have a better luck.

Yet in relationship, we couldn't depend it solely on luck but to compromise between friends, family and your partner and yourself. In which case when it comes to an argument or dead-end, each of you have to compromise and sacrifice if needed to bond the relationship. If you still care to bond it with just a lil more faith, trust and loyalty. Everyone should be able to deal with those tough and complicated situation, a challenge to be worked out together.

Ones should not just taking from each relationship but also need to give in. If everyone just keep taking each other's for granted, the framework of the tower which you've built together will not balance anymore and finally collapse. In playing the Uno stacko, every player just need to roll and die and pull the blocks which shown on the die. Not much of giving-in in this particular game because everyone is trying to win over competitors by pulling the piece of block which will not harm the framework and yet leaving others to deal with the problem. That's the objective of the game.

What's your opinion after reading this? I know i might be a little messy in arranging this entry. Not really in a clear mind though. Give me some feedback and your opinion.

First Anniversary @ Putrajaya Seafood

2007-11-16T15:56:00.000+08:00

Monday the 12th of November was the first anniversary of my darling and I. Since both of us need to work on that day so we decided to celebrate it one day earlier. Since i'm a seafood lover, so my decided to bring me to an unique yet romantic seafood restaurant. The Putrajaya Seafood is actually under the Tai Thong Group for your information.

Along the way from my darling's place in Shah Alam to Putrajaya, we could see one complete rainbow in the evening rain which is very rare to see. I was so excited and i took a snapshot of it but too bad, it's too bright and the glare made it not so obvious. I keep bugging my darling as he drives as usual, and he's so sweet to even say that the rainbow is specially there for me, celebrating our anniversary.

So i edited the picture brightness and contrast so that you could see it more clearly.

After half an hour drive, finally we are here in Putrajaya!

Here's the night view from our seats. The fascinating night view and the floating restaurant make this seafood restaurant so unique among all the Tai Thong restaurants.

It is located near to the Putrajaya JPN building which you can see it's on the left of the picture.

Hehe, oysters! Both our favourite seafood of all. We ordered half dozen fresh oysters and it cost RM48 if i'm not mistaken. It's so so so fresh that my darling couldn't wait for me to place the oyster for snapshot. And he warned me he would finish all by the time i finish one snapshot. So i just quickly get the snapshot done and started tasting my oyster. Thumbs up for this dish! Deserve 5 stars out of 5 stars!

The next dish will be the Tiger Prawn in Wheat and Butter. I would recommend you to try this as well! The wheat in butter is so crispy and filled with the richness of butter. Simply amazing!

The next dish we ordered is the Steam Cod Fish. This is recommended by the manager, Hairi as there's just two of us and for sure we couldn't finish one whole fish. There, their cod fish is being sliced and it's most suitable for us. Hence, we took his advice and ordered this. It's not as good as we expected because it's not very fresh but yet it taste okie.

This will be my darling's favourite. Kam Heong Bamboo Lala. We ordered this after finishing all the dishes and we couldn't resist the seafood temptation. :p I even think of ordering crabs! *slurps* You can't imagine my craving for seafood!

*winkz* It's desert time again~ We ordered banana split each and we were shivering after finishing the desert as the cold night breeze blew towards our direction.

We have had a wonderful time together. Thanks to the manager, Hairi and his crew. Not to forget, thanks for the complimentary white wine i had from him as well. For sure, we get some special discount as we know him through my darling's brother.

At last, i would like to thank my darling for showering me with love and care all through the year although we have some arguement just like others did. Happy Anniversary my dear~ *muacks* Hope our relationship could grow stronger day by day and there's more surprise and anniversary awaits.

De Chiang Mai Thai Seafood Restaurant

2007-11-15T13:01:00.000+08:00

Last Friday was Sab's birthday but we couldn't gather for celebration so my dad suggested to celebrate it on Saturday night. As i've mentioned before we are planning to go for seafood so we chose somewhere else rather than just common seafood restaurant. Ta-dar~ this time i present to you, a thai seafood restaurant.

As you can see in the above picture, there is this pathway leading us to the main entrance of the restaurant. There's fish ponds along the both side of the pathway.

When i first step into the restaurant, the lighting creates some kinda mystery feeling for me and it makes me to look forward what was there inside the restaurant. I like the ambience there. We were leaded by a thai waitress, and forget to mention that all the waiter and waitress there are atually thai. We passed by the desert bar while walking to our assigned table. Only one thing comes into my mind, faster finish the main course as i can't wait for the desert time to come. :p

Since we are in a thai restaurant, we decided to order a thai appetizer. The Thai Mango Salad. This is an appetizer with combination of sour and spicy. The mango is a bit sour and added with some chilli padi inside.

Yeap, here comes the rice. It is being served in a small bowl similar to the bowl serving glutinous chicken rice during dim sum. My first time seeing rice being served this way. Quite special.

The Mixed Tom Yam Soup. As you can see, it is being served in a pot which we used for steamboat most of the time. But, it is different as the heat comes from the burning charcoal in the middle of the pot as we used gas for steamboat. There is mixture of chicken, seafood, vege in the pot of tom yam soup. A bit different from the ordinary tom yam because it is rather sweet type of tom yam. Still i prefer sour one.

The Thai Style Otak Otak. This is a must-try dish there! It is being served in an alluminium foil and if you pay more attention it is actually a shape of a chicken. There's seafood, chicken and vege in that. This is actually comes in a single size, which means it is fixed. And this dish cost RM 25.

The Thai Style Steam Fish. This dish actually get thumbs up from all of us because it is so tasty. The fish is fresh and the servings is great. Sour like taste and a bit spicy.

Well, i'm pretty sure you can name this dish. Yeap, the chicken in pandan leaf. For me, it taste good, but it's just too small portion. It actually cost RM2.50 per piece you know, I can finish one in just one bite!

I found this two signs quite funny so i took a snapshot of them. The Gents and The Ladies. :p

It is common for me to take my camera along when i go to the ladies. There, there's this pot of petals on top of the small table inside the ladies.

This decorative cupboard is actually found inside the ladies. Hmm, but still i prefer the ladies in Tamarin Springs where my darling celebrated my 22nd birthday for me.

Overall, the food there is okie and we had a great night having dinner together.

A Short Story to Share-Family

2007-10-29T12:13:00.000+08:00

I read this forward mail the other day and found it very meaningful so i decided to share here. Usually i'll just read and delete those forward mail but this particular one really caught my attention.

Preface:
:. I ran into a stranger as he passed by. Oh, Excuse Me PLease was my reply
:. He said: Excuse me too, I wasn't watching for you.
We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye.

Story:
At home a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, yound and old.Later that day, cooking the evening meal, my son stood behind me very still. When i turned, i nearly knocked him down.

:. Move out of the way, I said with a frown.

:.He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken. While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said,

"While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use,

but the family you love, you seem to abuse."

Go and look on the kitchen floor, you'll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise.You never saw the tears that filled his liitle eyes.

By this time i felt very small, and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by his bed.

:." Wake up, little one, wake up" I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?"

:. He smiled, " I found them, out by the tree." " I picked them because they are pretty like you.I knew you'd like them, especially the blue

:. I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today, I shouldn't have yelled at you that way

:. He said, "Oh, mom that's okay, I love you anyway."

:. I said, " Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.

Morale Behind the Story:

Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the comapny we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think?

Dinner @ La Casa with Family

2007-10-28T11:21:00.000+08:00

The only day that all my family members are available to meet up will be Saturday or Sunday since my younger sis and myself are not staying home. So these days will be the only time we could actually sit down together for some catch up from each other. Friday night, i texted my elder sis that i would like to have western food for dinner on Saturday. Minutes later, she called me up asking where i want to go. I suggested it would be easier to have it somewhere near my place. Then she suggested a few favorable spots but at the end we have reached a concensus, which is Ken's Cafe @ Menjalara. It's a cafe where we used to hang out few years back. So it's all set and i informed my parents about the plan.

We have planned to meet up there at 7 p.m sharp as my elder sis would have to come back from Bangsar and i will be going there with my parents. It's sad to say that my younger sis was not able to join us cos she has to stay back in hostel and busy preparing for her coming finals. Gambateh neh~

As soon as i approaching the cafe, i was shocked to see the name of it has changed to La Casa. It is more obvious to me that the cafe has changed ownership after me and my sis analyzed the menu. Each of us ordered drinks then started to place the order.

We ordered those food to share around. We ordered this Caeser Salad as the appetizer. The vege is quite fresh, and there's my favorite boiled egg being sliced and small sweet tomato. It's just like any other ordinary Caeser Salad that you could get in other western restaurants.

After the appetizer our main course was served, the Dory Fish Spaghetti. This is ordered by Stanley. Personally i like the fish coz it's very fresh and smooth. The fish just seems to melt in my mouth~ HEAVENLY!

After the first main course, the second main course will be the Grilled Black Pepper Lamb Steak. There's 5 pieces of grilled lamb steak and it is served with mashed potato as well.

Mr. Stanley is serving us the lamb steak and he asked me to take a snapshot of him.Thanks alot.

Here comes my order, the Tomato Marinara Spaghetti. The reason i ordered this was because i am a seafood lover, from the menu i can see that the spaghetti was served with fresh prawns, clams, fillet, mussels, yummie~

Definately there will be pizza since we are here for it's famous cuisine. We ordered one 9'' pepperoni beef pizza to share around. The cook was preparing our pizza and the oven was just next to our table, so i could see clearly what he was doing and he smiled when i wanted to took a snapshot. He was kind enough to ask whether i need to take a closer shot with the pizza in the oven. I rejected coz it would be very troublesome.

Ta-dar~our freshly baked pepperoni pizza. It is very thin and cheesy, totally different from the pizzas selling at pizza houses in M'sia. This is what a real pizza like and taste!

Our last dish for the dinner was Lasagna. Hm,that's Garfield favorite! I would say the Lasagna here is not that good as I have tried much better Lasagna elsewhere.

Soon after we finished the meals, we decided to buy back some chicken wings from the restaurant nearby as we're still not getting enough of food :p My dad suggested to open a bottle of wine while eating the chicken wings. Had a great night with my family, planning to go some other places for "makan" again. So stay tune for my "makan" blog~haha..

Heart Of Greed

2007-10-25T11:45:00.000+08:00

Nowadays, my only entertainment after a long and tedious day of work will be watching series either using my notebook or my darling's pc. After a hot shower, both of us will be holding our plates filing with our dinner and cutlery, and start watching the series.

The recent one that i have finished was "Heart of Greed". ( Chinese: 溏心風暴 ) It is a high-rating 40 episode drama series which aired from April 9 to June 1, 2007 in Hong Kong by TVB. I think some of you guys have already watched it before i do, coz i'm too outdated :( No more downloading series after i start working. It's worth watching and thanks to my younger sis for getting me the series from her friend.

Home Sweet Home

2007-10-24T14:13:00.000+08:00

During May, my house had undergone renovation after the one we had for my room 1 year ago. Now both the living room and kitchen have changed to plaster ceiling, new lighting and air conditioned. Besides, we also rearranged the positioning of furniture in the living rooms to make it look more spacious and cozy.

The whole renovation process took around 3 weeks time, from wiring, plaster ceiling ,installation of new lighing and air conditioner to re-paint the house. My parents purposely chosed that period of time so that my younger sister and I were forced to supervise the whole process because we were on holiday.

Despite all the noise in the days and the dust all around the place, I like the new look of my house. I have taken some picture during the renovation but the camera is not with me so i cannot upload it here now to share with you guys. But, i managed to ask my sister to send me 2 pictures that she took with her SE of the finishing work. For those that have not been to my place before can now take a peep :p Soory guyz because the pictures just show part of it only. If you are interested you can come over to pay me a visit. *winkz* Not to mention, we, 3 sisters were given the authority to choose the lighting and the color of paint. We were very satisfied with the outcome after the renovation. Good job,sis!

My elder sis bluetooth me this song through her SE to my SE, ever since then i'm addicted to the song. Especially the prelude piano part, it's just simply amazing and my fingers move as if i'm playing the pieces my ownself :p Guess what, my darling super like this song too! After watching the video at YouTube, i decided to share this video with you peeps. Enjoy!
P/S: lyrics is attached as well.

In the light of the sun
Is there anyone?
Oh it has begun
Oh dear, you look so lost
Eyes are red and tears are shed
This world you must've crossed.

You said,
You don't know me
And you don't even care
Oh yeah
She said,
You don't know me
And you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah...yeah...

Essential yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts
Across an open field
When flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones
Who cry when they see you

You said,
You don't know me
And you don't even care
Oh yeah
She said,
You don't know me
And you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah

She said I think I'll go to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California
I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover and fly 'em out to Spain
I think I'll go to Boston
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of Sunset
I hear it's nice in the summer, some snow would be nice
Oh yeah...

Boston, where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name
Boston, where no one knows my name

Today i am not keeping up with my initial plan that i will finish the remaining chapters for Portfolio Management which i have started off during my study leave. Only manage to flip through few pages or i should say just 2 chapters. I still have 2 more chapters left so that i could start off with my Corporate Governance. *yawns* Corporate Governance, what a bored subject and the lecture slides are just s*cks! Wondering will i be able to pass the exam by just reading them? Hm..definately not but there's no more reference that i could get now. Sigh..

I have spent much of the day in my comfy bed with my notebook by my side. I have been working especially hard lately, juggling both my emotion and finals with my usual aplomb. But today i am feeling a bit worn out and overwhelmed by all that remains to be done. I found myself getting emotional more easily during the exam periods, guess i am having too much of pressure from that. Thank God that this will be my last semester of studies in uni.

So i am trying to give myself some excuses to make myself feel better :p Like:why not just give yourself a day of rest? Haha, so i spent the day indulged in my favourite music, chatting with some long lost friends, as well as updated my blog! Yeah, 3 blogs in a row in just one day.

Hope this solitary time can help refresh my brain a lil so that i could carry on with the boring CG.

Hehe, at the mean time, please help this lil notti ArCo who is still daring to blog here, to pray for good luck and pass this finals with flying colours :p

La Lala~Why Oh Why~

2007-04-26T19:01:00.000+08:00

Juwita Suwito-Why Oh Why

The moment I can‘t pretend
The sorry I should have said
The thought of you being in despair
Tears my heart up right away
I just wasn’t prepared

Imperfection that’s what I am
Confusion just to get sad
I guess that I shouldn’t pretend to love you anyway
I won’t give up again

So tell me why oh why
Should there be a reason to love
Why oh why
I don’t need another
I want nothing else but being with you
And with you I know why

The one thing I’ll take with me
The eyes that smile so tenderly
Every time I think about you
You may carry things seem right
You make wishes come true

So tell me why oh why
Should there be a reason to love
Why oh why
I don’t need another
I want nothing else but being with you
And with you I know why

If only I knew what you need was some love
I would have given you the best that you deserve
There’s no one else I’d rather share my life than with you
Think of what’s between us
And love will help to guide us

Why oh why
Should there be a reason to love
Why oh why
I don’t need another
I want nothing else but being with you
And with you I know why

# This is the song that i've recently uploaded as my blog's background music. This is also the song that i'm indulging in lately, keep repeating it again and again and again. Guess you peeps must find this singer unfamiliar. You can get to know her more through her own website http://www.juwitasuwito.com/ . Cheers~ hope you peeps enjoy it..

An American Tail (1986)

2007-04-26T13:34:00.000+08:00

An American Tail is an animated film produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, and directed by Don Bluth, originally released in movie theatres on November 21, 1986.

Film's Plot:

This film shows the story of the life of a family of Jewish-Russian mice who emigrate to New York City, believing that there are no cats in America. Once there, they immediately discover that there are indeed cats in America and plenty of them, and begin living in a typical late 19th century immigrant manner: working in a sweatshop, living in horrible conditions, and paying the cats tribute as an alternative to being eaten. The film follows Feivel Mousekewitz (his first name comes from that of Steven Spielberg's grandfather), who is separated from his family as the boat approaches America; the movie chronicles Feivel's search for his family, and his struggle against the Cats, including their money hungry leader, Warren T. Rat, a cat who just disguises himself as a rat.

Repeatedly viewing the clips for N times :p Then i started to surf for more info about this film. Now i have this problem here, where can i get to download or get this movie? I was just 1 years old when the film actually released. Can anyone out there tell me where can i get this movie? I appreciate the info given. Thanks~

Somewhere Out There

Fievel: Somewhere out there,

beneath the pale moonlight,

someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight.

Tanya: Somewhere out there,

someone's saying a prayer,

that we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there.

(*)Tanya: And even though I know how very far apart we are,

it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.

Fievel: And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,

it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.

Together: Somewhere out there,

if love can see us through,

then we'll be together,

somewhere out there,

out where dreams come true.

Performed by Phillip Glasser (Fievel) & Betsy Cathcart (Tanya)

Hesitation

2007-04-01T00:54:00.000+08:00

There's a dream that i've always wanted to pursue, something that i wanted to try since i was young.

Now that i have a chance to give it a try, but i started to hesitate, panting around don't know what to do.

Why is there hesitation? Self-confidence that had been shattered into pieces, having nowhere to turn to, causing me to hesitate even after i told myself that i should go on with my plan no matter what others might comment.

Is there anyone out there would be kind enough to show me some support and care to chase away my hesitation? I wonder.. i'm in dilemma..

My Current BMI

2007-03-01T14:51:00.000+08:00

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. BMI provides a reliable indicator of body fatness for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.

After a long holidays for the Chinese New Year, most of my friends are complaining that they have put on alot of weights. But surprisingly, i've lost 3 kgs in just 1 week!

My current BMI is 15.4 indicating that my weight is in the underweight category for adults of my height. I told my sister about it and Mic sent her the following indicators to me. Now i have a better understanding regarding my weight status. According to that, i'm currently very close to starvation and in the anorexic status. This is a very bad sign!

*Starvation: less than 15.0
*Anoretic(n.)/Anorexic(adj.): less than 17.5
*Underweight: less than 18.5
*Ideal: from 18.5 to 25

These are the further description about the weight status i'm in now. After reading it over and over again, i think i need to do something to my weight. Perhaps it's time for me to continue back my yoga and gym session as i've stop going for 1 month plus for the sake of mid term tests and assignments.

Anorexia
The eating disorder known as anorexia nervosa is commonly described as "self-starvation." Characteristics of the disorder include a refusal to maintain a minimally normal weight, an intense fear of gaining weight, a disturbed and unrealistic body image, and (in women) the absence of menstrual periods. (Low body weight and/or the cessation of menses distinguishes anorexia from the related disorder, bulimia.) Sufferers may starve themselves simply by restricting the amount of calories or types of food they consume; or there can be a pattern of excessive binge eating followed by purging through self-induced vomiting, inappropriate use of laxatives or enemas, or excessive exercise.

Female gender, low self-esteem, genetics, and social emphasis on thinness all increase the risk for this condition. The consequences of untreated anorexia can be severe, including electrolyte disturbances, heart rhythm abnormalities, and death. Treatment usually involves psychotherapy, medication, nutrition education, and family therapy.

-Arco-Liciously 2007's Kick-Off-

2007-02-16T23:29:00.000+08:00

After reading some blog entries of my friends about what they did how they welcomed the year of 2007, I wanted to shout out and annouce to the whole wide world my very own kick-off of this year so so much coz i simply love love love the beggining of this year. :p

Part 1

I had a very memorable way of celebrating the new year. The way that i've always wanted to have. I went shopping with my darling at 1 Utama earlier that afternoon on the very last day of 2006. After we've done with our shopping, we headed for our favourite Unagi treats. After our dinner, we decided to leave as he's got a celebration party at friend's place. We hit the road, and soon when we stopped for the first traffic lights, he asked abruptly: Are you sure you wanna join my friends? You'll be bored and just sitting down there. (as usual) I replied, i'm okie with it as long as you're right beside me. Then he asked looking into my eyes: Don't you just want some time for just the two of us as I've been busy with work all these while and don't really spend time with you. Soon after hearing those words, I can't deny that's what really up in my mind all the time, some time for just the two of us. I'm so touched that he noticed, and we made a U-turn back to catch the midnight movie. We were lucky enough that we could still get tickets to the show we wanted to watch. Went for my favorite Mango Madness before the show starts. We countdown inside the cinema in the middle of the show. Just the two of us. For sure there's others inside, but we celebrated it just the two of us. *winkz*

-San Francisco Coffee- while waiting for the show to start.

My darling was busy calculating the amount that we've spent. So i secretly took a snapshot of him without him knowing. Hehe..look at his lips. Eye-rolling when i finally calculated the total amount with my phone. :p

-San Francisco Coffee-Yea yea, my favourite Mango Madness again. *winks*

Part 2

The moment that i've waited so long finally arrived. Last year during the end of October Airasia has promoted a luxury trip package to Bali that just cost RM 500+ with accomodation and air tickets included. Not to leave out the most important thing of all , the accomodation is Hotel Hard Rock Bali! I was so excited to find out this from my sis but i have to book the package on my own coz she has already booked it earlier. Besides, it's a 2 pax package. I can't wait and tell my soon-to-be darling that time :p that i wanted to go. He asked whether i really wanted to go coz he knew that i have to work on my final year project. I answered him with much of assurance after checking out my academic calendar and i'm confident that i can finish my work on time.

It's a 3 days 2 night package and we have chosen to go on the 14th of Jan-16th of Jan. Wouldn't want to write too much on the details so i'll let the pictures to say the words. For me, it's a superb trip as for i get a lilttle time off the past-paced and hectic life i'm having due to the final year project and get to relax myself by the beautiful beaches.I've uploaded them to my multiply earlier so you peeps can have a look there.

I've Made It Through "Finally"

2007-02-16T22:38:00.000+08:00

Yes yes yes! I'm sure those following my entries knows exactly what i'm trying to tell this time around. Yea right, i have handed in my final year project at last after working on it for like half a year. It's on the 15th of February.

Without frail, my group mates and i used to gather in the uni's library after lectures and tutorial sessions everyday. We were working very hard on it. Don't ever doubt us on that.

After toiling in sweats and tears, it's now time for fruitation. It's just like we were seeing and nurturing the baby with much of hope and from the very first moment he was given birth til now the baby has grown up and able to walk on his own. I think others might have some kinda same feeling like me, or it's just that i'm too emotional.

Now, i'm taking this chance to extend a heartfelt statement of appreciation and gratitute to our supervior Ms Ng for her dedicated supervision, advice, encouragement and guidance. We would not have been able to do it without her patience and encouragement, critical comments and constructive criticisms. She even get complained from her husband for putting in too much time on us until she skipped her meals. I'm so so sorry for that.

After all, the greatest source of pressure i'm getting is now taken off my chest. I can have a short break during the Chinese New Year. Soon after the week of holidays, more test and assignments will be hitting back again. Arghh, i really need to know, when will all these be ending?

Year 2007 : A Year of Resolution

2007-01-26T10:16:00.000+08:00

Year 2007 is here! Ironic isn't it that I only able to post a entry about it when the first month of the year is approaching the end.

No doubt, i'm still busy working on my final year project. So busy that i can't even spend quality time with my friends and love ones. Hope they can understand that this is very crucial for my grade. But everything will need to come to an end. The dateline to hand it in will be on the 15th of Feb. Hence, my group will have to finish it by the end of next week in order to send it for printing and hard cover binding that is gonna take up for around 2 weeks time. Hm..there's too little time left yet a lot more analysis to work on and checking so that it will be up on par with our supervisor's requirement that guarantee us a good grade. Needless to say, i'm currently under the condition that have tonnes of pressure loaded on my chest. Small little issues can just trigger me to be very emotional. Gosh gosh..really hope it ends in a blink of time!

After handing in the final year project, I need to get myself together as this is my last semester of studies, symbolising the end of my 3 years tertiary studies. Year 2007, a year of resolution because i'll be graduating real soon and joining the workforce that contributes to the development of the country. :p such a formal way to put in that way huh.. It's going to be a complete different lifestyle that i'm having right now. Thou i'm sick of the life being as a student after 15 years of formal education yet i'm not ready yet to face the change.

As those of you that know me well, i've always been facing the problem of insomnia. Yeah right, it's stricking me back again after a short break from my holidays. Guess the pressure i'm getting nowadays is the main cause of it stricking back huh. Don't be surprise to see me with some grey strain Is there a remedy for it? Can anyone provide me with some kinda remedy?

..::"It's late and I'm feeling so tired

Having trouble sleeping

This constant compromise

Between thinking and breathing

Could it be I'm suffering

Because I'll never give in

Some kind of therapy

Is all I need

Please believe me

Some instant remedy

That can cure me completely"::..

No matter what, i'm still holding on hoping that this kinda hectic, fast-paced life will be gone together with the end of my uni life. But i'm enjoying every moment of my last semester with my mates that have been through thick and thin together in this tough yet promising route. Counting down the days, it's only 3 months away for us to finally see the fruitation of the effort that we've put in. A big thanks to you all for being such a sweet and caring friend. *Huggies*

Last but not least, Happy New Year to all, hope it's not too late, it's better late than never right? :p

Holidays~ Holidays!

2006-12-20T13:12:00.000+08:00

Yeap, I've finished my finals for 2nd semester of my final year. Phew, that was such a relieve as i was so stressed that i couldn't fall into slumber every night with *Assignments, Tests, Final Year Project,etc* bothering me. Somehow, i've made it through. Now i'm left with my final year project in hand, hope it'll go smoothly as i've expected so that i can finish it up earlier to have a early preparation for my last semester. Kinda longing for that.

Although that was a busy semester for me, i still manage to squeeze some time out with my group mates for some relaxation activities :p Even we've been in the same class together for three years but until recently only we really get to hang out together. We've had 2 ktv sessions in Neway and Redbox, as well as Kenny's 21st birthday celebration. I had so much fun with my group mates, 1st ktv, 1st movie as well as 1st *punikura* with them. Besides, we took hell lots of snapsots during those session, and i've uploaded them to my multiply so feel free to take a look there.

As i've mentioned earlier, i'm now having my holidays but sad to say, still i need to go back to my campus to meet up with my supervisor for some discussion of final year project and also to meet up with other members to get going with what we've done before we started with finals. So basically, it's not really an enjoyable holidays you see.

The seasons of greeting has arrived, i'll be celebrating this christmas in Penang. Now i'm scratching head to think of what present should i get for my dear. Any idea? Hmm..it's a bit late huh. Can't blame me cause i was too busy before that. I need to do my shopping last minute.

May my dear friends be blessed with love and care all the time, wishing you all a Merry X'Mas!

New Semester : A New Beginning

2006-10-10T13:43:00.000+08:00

My 3 weeks of semester break has already ended and class started yesterday. But, i've skipped my very first lecture of this semester itself due to over exhaustion after long hours of work on Sunday. Yes, i know it's a lame excuse but who cares? Do you?

I feel upset for i have to start with the travelling day-to-day again and i need to attach myself with my final year thesis already! Oh gosh, it's such a tough task to gather all the group members for even just a little discussion! Particularly the only fella who made the progress being dragged down, and made the others waited blindly on the net to have him to join us for the discussion as if he's not part of us. Ended up, he didn't turn up, without even informing us about it. That frustrated me even more when i finally get to contact him and flooded me with some real lame excuses.

As usual, a new semester there's always a new set of timetable assigned to our class. I got it through my friend late last night. Sigh, it's just s**ks! Not like what i've been expecting, i need to go to my campus 5 days in a week but fortunately there's no late classes. I should be thankful for i don't have any class that will need me to stay there until 8pm. *phew* I think my prayers started to work! *winkz*

Anyway, i wil gather myself for the sake of my own studies and the final year thesis so peeps be there for me when i needed you all okie? I think i would need some chill out sessions more than i've ever had in this new semester. Now i'm in my 2nd semesters of my last year of studies, there's one more to go! It ain't easy for me to go all the way alone, but i know for sure there will always be someone there for me, and that really lighten my burden and worries. Wish me luck mates!

LeSportsac = ArCo's Life

2006-09-28T16:43:00.000+08:00

Yes yes, guess you peeps can see from the picture above, shopaholic ArCo is back again as the sales heat has started!

Went to both Isetan outlets in KL : Lot 10 and KLCC yesterday afternoon cause they are having members' presale day. Yeah~ i'm a member myself. That is very tempting to a shopaholic like me after reading through the updated newsletter sent to my house. I can't resist it but to loaded myself with cash and grabbed the car key heading to both the outlets.

Soon as i entered Lot 10's Isetan, my eyes were caught by the new arrival of LeSportsac! My favorite brand for bags of all~ Oh gosh, they are so cute yet stylish! My eyes were wide open to see the price tag! That is totally crazy man, a small bag like that is gonna cost me my whole month's allowance. I like it too much but what i can only do is to bug Kian to take a snapshot of the bag with me~ *sobx sobx*

Bought what i've needed in Lot 10 then sent Kian, Kang and others back to their office. After that, i drove alone to KLCC. It's so hard to get a parking there as all the parking entrance were closed up. Having no choice, i decided to park my car in KL Convention Centre's basement carpark and walked through the pedestrian tunnel linked to KLCC.

Soon as i entered KLCC's Isetan, the first outlet i went was the LeSportsac again. Argh, i can't control my urge to see those bags again~ Thinking should i get one or not. At last, rational stopped me from buying it as i've called my sis earlier and told her about the bag. She answered it short and precisely : Go die la~ so expensive! If I were to pay it with my credit card, i'll be in deep trouble when my parents found out. It's true, cause i have limited budget this month as i need to get something else more important to me. *winkz*

It's so suffering to can just see, touch, and take a snapshot with it but not to own one! Now i can just hug LeSportsac bag i owned with a deep grieve growing in me. I want the new design's bag desperately! Guess LeSportsac has taken over my life.

ArCo is Back Again!~

2006-09-19T04:44:00.000+08:00

Hey peeps~It has been a long while since i've last updated my blog. Finally the very first entry for the month of September. *Cheers* for ArCo!

I even need to key in my login ID twice to get the right one :p That shows i really do neglected this blog ever since i've joined Multiply and busy preparing for my final. Yeah, i've finished the final exam for this semester! Enjoying my holidays and barely have the time to sit in front of my laptop to blog a little for you peeps. I'm so sorry about that. It's so happening in my life lately, getting to know more and more friends was the interesting part of all. There's too much to blog, now i'm having the problem, where i should start off with.

Some Updates After My Previous Blog:

Get to know a gang of peeps from Construction Management, UTAR. They're real nice and comfortable to hang out with. Guess what, i started to hang out with them even more than my friends :p I've joined Multiply for quite sometime but i never added any contacts and totally nothing at all in my site. CC was kind enough to ask me to join them and that's how the story began.

Some kinda weird feeling triggered me to blog in mandarin and i've not really write in mandarin after taking my SPM paper. That's so pathetic. Posted 3 mandarin entries there which i've limited the access to my close contacts. To my surpise, i'm getting alot of comments and feedback on what i've blogged. I don't even know i can actually blog in mandarin. I'm overwhealmed by those comments.

I do share some of my latest snapshots which could not be found in my friendster and here as well. That's where i'll upload my whole album to from now on. I've written some reviews about the artist i admire, recommended some latest hitz and some songs that i like there too.You can get the link to my Multiply at the side bar. Some contents are allowed for public viewing so feel free to browse through if you peeps are care enough to do so. -End of Update-

Some friends that are not chinese educated started to complain about me as i only concentrated blogging in mandarin lately and totally neglected them. Sorry mates, it's not easy to blog in 2 language versions as requested by you peeps and i'm gonna be drag down in the sense of time needed to blog. Please bear with me alright? It's not easy to fulfill everyone's need, but i'll try my best to not neglect both side, is that alright?

ArCo is back again~ So keep visiting back for more :p ArCo want to be a sleep blogger no more! And peeps you should play your role in giving me feedback and comments too! You peeps rockxz! *Huggies*

Flea Market @ The Curve

2006-08-26T15:43:00.000+08:00

Last saturday, I went to the flea market at The Curve to get myself some accesories to match with my cheong sam before going to Kang's birthday. That will be my first time to actually walk around the flea market stall by stall. To my surprise, there's alot of accesories selling at very reasonable price. For eg. 3 pairs of earrings can be get with just RM1o! Those are the fixed price items but you can have a good bargain in getting other stuffs where price tag was not shown. I just can't escape but to spend money when cheap deals are all over the flea market. Sigh, my plan to not spend so much is always a failure one.

I met my secondary classmate there who was helping out his sis. Have not met him since we've graduated from secondary school. Took some snapshots with him and was able to take snapshot of the stalls with his help as the management there does not allow photo shooting unless you're a reporter.

Flea Market are mushrooming and has become part of the city culture in Klang Valley. Almost every shopping complex and residential area in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam has one.

One Dream . One Vision . One Party

Organizer: Malaysian Advertisers Association

(MAA)

Venue: Hotel Mandarin Oriental, K.L.

Date: 18 August 2006

Time: 7.oo pm til late night

*ALERT* The organisers shall not be responsible for reckless rock star behaviour, guitar-smashing violence and excessive glam-rock make-up.

*~ The opening dance~*

Last friday while i was taking my afternoon nap before the yoga session as usual, my sis called up and told me to get myself prepared to attend this party. Her boss had booked a table for this event but some of the colleagues can't turn up so i was invited!

The event supposed to start at 7 pm but we reached there around 8pm as the traffic entering the hotel car park was terrible, the car park was fulled. We have to park at KLCC located beside the hotel and walked there. After registering ourselves at the guest registration counter and redeemed our door gifts which included a head scarf and a pair of sunglasses each, we headed to our table. We were lucky enough to see the opening dance as the event has been delayed due to the earlier mentioned situation.

People attending the party dressed up in rock which perfectly matched the theme of the ball. I was not dare enough to take some snapshots of those wanna-be rockers so i can't show you peeps their costume. What a waste!

Not going to blog in details and upload snapshots taken here as i've uploaded them in my multiply account. It's much more convenient there. So visit my multiply for complete set of snapshots. Thanks peeps..you can get my multiply site's link at the side bar. Sorry to say that only my contacts are allowed to view the full contents. For the sake of my friends and mine privacy. No worries as i'll still open majority of the entries to everyone. *Cheers*

What is Love?

2006-08-16T14:25:00.000+08:00

Love is patient,Love is kind.

It does not envy,it does not boast,

It is not proud. It is not rude,

It is not self-seeking,

It is not easily angered,

It keeps no records of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects,always trusts,

Always hopes,always perseveres.

Love never fails.

When I was a child, I talked like a child,

I thought like a child, I respond like a child.

When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

Now we see but a poor reflection as in mirror, then we shall see face to face.

Now i know in part; then i shall know fully,

Even as i am fully known.

And know these three remains: Faith, Hope and Love.

But the greatest of these is Love.

Adapted from : 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a

If you peeps were to notice, the first part of the phrase can be found in my friendster profile. I've been putting it there for years but guess not everyone noticed it. I first came across this during a wedding ceremony of a relative of mine, which is also the first time i've ever attended a wedding ceremony in a church. I simply love this phrase so i started to look for it. It's actually a chapter found in the bible, but sadly i can only found the first part of it.

Recently, fatty was back in KL for her 2 weeks holidays and she had borrow a vcd from her friend with the title : A Walk to Remember. I desperately wanted to watch it back in the time the movie was shown in the cinema but guess the one i'm asking to is not intested in those sappy love story. So the only thing i can do is to download the songs in the OST. The songs sooth my soul and the one i love very much was "Only Hope" by Mandy Moore. In the movie, this scripture was being read during their wedding ceremony and it's very touching as the bride was seriously sick yet the groom still wanted to marry her.

After watching the movie, the urge to complete the chapter started to grow in me and i've ask for the help of my cousemate who is a christian. Thanks Jonathan for helping me to complete the chapter. It definately feels great to complete it.

I would like to make myself clear here, i'm not a christian myself. Thou i like to listen to christian bands alot and also the phrase I put in my friendster had made some of them misunderstand.

Food Section Part 2: Korean BBQ

2006-08-13T22:12:00.000+08:00

The main course: Korean BBQ. You get to choose between pork or beef and there's prawns and cuttlefish. The secret behind that made the food taste good even without marinating them is that they used charcoal replacing the sizzling pan generated by electric. It's absolutely burdenless to your body cause it's not oily at all! So gals on diet can eat as much as you can :p
Korean pancake! My favorite dishes of all. A must-try dish peeps! Rated it a 5 stars! I think i can finish up the whole pancake if nobody would ever stop me.
The Ginseng Chicken Soup: Ingredients included a whole chicken, red dates, some chilies, glutinous rice,etc. This is my first time trying a soup with glutinous rice! Surprisingly it tastes good and match with the soup. Peeps have to give it a try. Rated it a 4 stars out of 5.
There's not much difference between the korean and japanese sushi. The sushi here is affordable i would say cause there's around 12 pieces but selling at 8 bucks! Just a simple calculation, you can't get the price even purchasing them at the supermarket.
Bi Bim Bap: To all korean series fanatic, this is the dish having the highest rate of appearance in all the series. For eg. Full House and KimSamSun. I would recommend guys and those who can't live without rice to order this cause there's no white rice provided in all the BBQ packages. It's in very big portion so gals might have to share it else can't finish it.

A tip for you peeps before entering to those korean BBQ restaurants : Loaded yourself with enough of cash cause all the transactions made are in cash term, no credit cards accepted no matter you're a Master, Visa or even AE card holders.

Food Section Part 1:Korean BBQ

2006-08-08T23:12:00.000+08:00

This is my first time blogging bout food~! But i think the photos can speak better than my words. I went to the same korean BBQ restaurant located at Ampang a.k.a the Korean Village for two consequetive weekends but with different people of course. The first time was there with Sab, Jessie and U Wern and last sunday with my family. For your info, korean village is a place where most of the koreans in KL reside so such name is given, thou it's not actually a village. Few rows of shop lots where lots of korean restaurants, convenience stores can be found there.
That particular restaurant i went was EHwa Garden which was recommended by a friend, which he think is more affordable yet the food is tasty cause the price range for korean food will easily cost up to few hundreds even there's only a few people. Let's see, a korean BBQ set for 2 will cost you up to RM 150. In the 1st snapshot, those are the side dishes for a 4 pax set.

Here's the price for the BBQ sets, so sorry that i've forgotten to take the side of the menu which is for 2-4 pax :p. It's very considerate of them to put the menu in both mandarin and english. You should look at the ala carte menu, haha cause there's korean words which we can't understand at all, can only make a wild guess to figure out the food or ask for the assistance of the waitress there. BUT don't expect them to speak fluent english and understand you well, you should watch more korean series as for my advice. LOL.

Typical korean utensils you can see in all the korean series. :p Get so excited to see and touch them. Am i in korea now?? Wish i could.

p/s: Hey guys and gals please bear with me cause the server is at scheduled outage, no photos can be uploaded for the time being. More snapshots and details will be updated a.s.ap. Am currently in lazy mode to blog, there's so much interesting happenings to blog about but i seemed so stressed out lately. Gosh, will need to pull myself back on track!

Organizational Development Presentation 28.7.06

2006-08-03T13:19:00.000+08:00

Our group had been assigned to present our case study on the 28th of July which is also the last presentation for this semester. As i've mentioned earlier in my blog about the EC presentation, we are going to come out with something special that is able to capture all the attention. After some brainstorming session among the group members, we decided to do a role playing instead of answering the case study questions one by one like what other groups are doing. Our case study's title: The Paradoxical Twins : Acme & Omega.

There's 5 persons in our group and so lucky of us that we are able to arrange each of us with a role; the narrator, an OD practitioner, Omega's president, Acme's president and Photocopy manufacturer. We even made ourself a name card to put on during the presentation so our tutor and classmates won't get confused. Night before, we gathered in Bs and Js's condo to run through our scripts so that everything is well organized and everyone knows the flow of the presentation. We stayed up whole night for the preparation while Mc was doing the presentation slide as usual.

We managed to get some sleep and woke up around 5am to practise and do some ammendments to the scripts. Then each of us took turn to dress up in our formal attire and went to our campus. We actually recorded down the whole presentation with a digital camera set on a tripod. Everthing was in control and smooth, and we've got a very good comment from our tutor, she was impressed with our effort and guarantee us with a good grade! Instead, she said our group was the best among all the groups~

My Lucky Charm?

2006-07-30T15:25:00.000+08:00

Those in my class should be able to notice that i wore a crystal bracelet earlier this week but not anymore after a few days. That crystal was actually from my sis Sab, so kind and generous of her to buy me and my mom each from the World of Feng Shui! You know what, this is the first time ever in my life she bought me a gift with her own money! So both of us started wearing it since the last weekend. Everything seems fine but..

2 days after wearing the bracelet:
Early in the Tuesday morning, as usual, after dropping Sab off at her office i drove my SLK to Kenny's place whom i car pool with. Since it's still very early so the high way was clear, no lorries or buses. I enjoy looking at the sunrise everyday at this time accompany by the latest hitz from the radio. Out of a sudden, i heard a loud and sharp noise and my windscreen started to crack in a very fast pace. That really gave me a shock of my lifetime, my heart was pounding so fast that i felt a lil bit panic cause i have no idea what have caused the windscreen to crack as there's no lorries on the road! Even there's no car on my both side cause i'm driving in the middle lane and the car in front of mine is about 100m away!

With the emergency signal on, i drove slowly to Kenny's place which is not far away. As soon as i reached there, i made a phone call to Sab telling her what happened earlier and asked her to call our uncle who's also our insurance agent to tell me what should i do. While waiting for her reply, i asked for Kenny's brother help on the nearest workshop he know. It's so kind of him to help me contacted his friend who owns a workshop near his place and promised to come and take my car to replace with a new windscreen. I were asked to take some snapshots on the car and the windscreen by Sab and mom called to give some instruction as well. Kenny and I were have to skip the EC lecture that day cause the workshop was not open yet. The windscreen have cost me RM200 to replace with an ordinary one! Luckily, i can get the money back as soon as my uncle has made a claim from the insurance company. Phew~

3 days after wearing the bracelet:
Yeah, it's a Wednesday~ I can have a short break today as we have passed up all the assignments for this semester and there's only 1 test left on Saturday. Since i'm free so i was thinking should i try on with a new recipe, my very own Arco-Licious recipe. Now i'm gonna share the ingredients and processes to make yourself the same pastry that i've tried.
1st: Prepare a steamer with enough of boiling water, put some red bean pao inside or any pao you like.
2nd: You have to equip yourself with some Forgetful + Careless + Busy with other things + Bad Luck ! Ain't that easy?
3rd: Wait for about 1 hour til the steamer runs out of water and there's smoke coming out from it. That's all you need to do! Then you can get exactly the taste and smell of my pastry which have a chocolate topping.

Try this and you will get: Acknowledgement & praises from your parents, siblings will be proud of you and keep telling the whole world your glorious result, adding some interesting elements to your ever boring life! What a day to remember~ For nearly burnt down my humble dwelling :p

No one can explain why all these happen ever since i wear the crystal bracelet. Can you? Should i or should i not wear it anymore?

Me & The Snow

2006-07-26T10:59:00.000+08:00

挣开迷蒙的双眼，眼前所触及的尽是白茫茫的一片,白雪覆盖了原本翠绿的一片草原。那是多么壮观啊！雪还在下着，寒风刺骨地吹向单薄的身躯，让我不禁想逃，逃离这一片雪地。

雪因为认真，所以才下得深，人因为认真，所以才最容易受伤。难道我们就不该再为任何人，事与物认真了吗？我的认真为我带来了莫大的痛楚，在这坎坷的路上领悟到了你所谓的世界并不像我所想象中的美丽。谢谢你亲自让我第一次感受到人丑陋与自私的一面，也印证了你的一番言论。

人的一生为了“认真”二字尝尽了人间冷暖，有甘之如饴的甜蜜，也有撕心裂肺的痛楚。可是，我们明知道这种苦涩，却仍执着地追寻，疯狂地投入，我们的脚步沉重，脚印也很深很深。其实，每个人都曾经迎着风雪前行，只是有人在滑倒时伴着放肆的欢笑，有人在泪与雪的交织中缓慢地蜷缩身体。

有了雪，人生才会完整，才会懂得阳光的颜色，也只有在这突然降临的漫天风雪中，哈一口气，才能感受属于自己的温度。雪，本来就是来势凶猛的，如果雪再认真起来，那谁还能阻挡得了呢？

我依然会认真的继续生活下去，因我依然相信世界还有善良与可爱的一面。凭着我尚留下的一点点温度与坚持跨步向前，迎着那一道曙光，拥抱我的人生。因我是那认真的雪, 谁也不能阻挡。

Satisfaction

2006-07-23T08:39:00.000+08:00

It's definately a relieve for all of us from BBA Year3Sem1 GroupB cause the midterm test for the deadly subject MA was finally over. Guys and Gals it's not over yet, it's just midterm, our final is just around the corner! Sorry for have to keep reminding but face it, our uni's timetable is so darn packed. Nights before the test i've started preparing but there's still some shitty thing bothering me so there's not much actually in my brain! It's obvious that all were in busy mode for their msn, now i was thinking to upload a photo taken with my phone as a sign that i'm not available to chat cause i'm studying so stop nudging me or do forgive me for replying late at times. I showed the photo to Lydia and she said it's cute :p and she won't kacau me when she saw me putting that photo. Haha,so peeps wait til i transfer the photo ya~Headed home after the test cause i'm just way too exhausted for not having enuogh sleep for such a long time. It started to rain cats and dogs which is good to cool down the heat of the afternoon sun, strangely i couldn't fall asleep in such a cooling day! Strange huh..i know why and only God knows why.

I had so many ideas on how to decorate/modify a bit my clothings which is always plain and simple but i don't really have the time to. I dragged myself out from my nice and warm bed, opened up the doors of my wardrobe and started with the choosing cause i can't figure out which one to start off with first. I finally chosen a jeans that i have not wear for long time and have the idea of cutting it into shorts cause i'm getting frustrated for can't get myself a short which is in trend and fit with the size of my waist! Guess what,my body weight keeps on dropping thou i've consumed a big amount of food. It's definately not good to be too slim, so there's no need for diet gals out there, i'm not trying to be sarcastic okie, my family and friends who are close enough with me know exactly my problem of getting a pair of well-fitted pants, jeans, and slacks.

I took my mom's sewing toolbox and started to work with the jeans. My sis will be complaining i'm super crazy when she found out that it's my Miss Selfridge Jeans * eye-rolling *. Haha, but it's too late Sab you're not around to stop me from doing that :p. Tried it on once again to really make sure that i don't want it to be a long jeans anymore, then measure the length that i wanted to cut away. After that, started with the tailoring part. Cutting it into knee length and trying to make it looks as natural as possible. Guess it'll look perfect after a few washing and i'll make sure it's perfect.

Done with the tailoring part and now i need to get some accessories to match with. I nearly turned over the drawer. Finally, i've found a long ribbon which was being tied on the largest gift that i've ever receive so far. ( Large in the sense that the box is real huge haha) I simply like the colors of the ribbon cause it's a redish purple and look real shiny. Spent a long time figuring out which is the best way to tie it to the jeans at the waist line after trying whichever way i could think of. The finished piece is just the same like what i had in mind. * Cheers * for me~

I'll be updating more on the modification or re-decorate of my clothings so stay tuned to my blog posts. Those materials i'm using are affordable and can easily get so hope you peeps can try on some of your clothes as well. It's such a waste to not wear those clothing you felt it's outdated or plain there's so many things you can do to them. You just need to add some spices to your life to make it extraordinary so same theory applies here, by adding something extra ordinary to them. If you were to have any doubts feel free to drop me a message and i'll try my best to help out. *wink* you know where to get me right.

I'll be home alone this weekend cause my sis and mom are in Melacca, *sob sob* stupid test have spoiled my plan to follow my sis there to makan makan around. I really miss the food there especially Satay Celup. My aunt was supposed to take me to S'pore this weekend as well. But those plan were so not at the right time! There goes my shopping spree in S'pore! But i've got some real sweet friends to accompany me for meals. Went for steamboat last night opposite Metro Prima which Chia Chek suggested. Meet up with Es & Lyd around 7pm and started eating without waiting for the guys. Woops, we're too hungry cause i don't had my lunch and they just came back from park which i was supposed to join. But the rain had pulled me back. Had a great time talking while eating. Thanks peeps, especially to CC for the dinner! Yeah, good food and friends, there's nothing else that i miss. That's what call satisfaction!

p/s: the photo of the finished piece will be uploaded asap cause my sis had took the camera with her!

Estee Lauder Companies Staff Sale @ The Grand Ballroom Renaissance Hotel

2006-07-19T15:13:00.000+08:00

It's a wednesday! The day i'm always longing for in the week cause this is the day that i can have some time for myself, to tidy up my room ( i've got my own room! ), to file up my notes, searching for new songs to download, sitting right in front of my laptop blogging!! Why am i so free?? Haha it's just simply because i have no class on this particular day for this semester.

Had a busy weekend yet interesting i would say. For i have to finish up the E-Commerce individual assignmnet in just 3 days time but the power supply cable at my housing area was being cut off due to short circuit. What a shity incident! There goes my time to do the assignment. I was lucky enough as 2 of my friends were offering themselves to help me with some of the part else i won't be able to hand in the assignment on time. Thanks to Frederick and Chia Chek, i owe you both big time!

Guess what i've done when there's no electric supply at home? I went to the Estee Lauder Companies Staff Sale where my sis was able to get me the admission pass from her company! Since she was away from town with another friend to the cruise trip sponsored by their client which is much more attracting so i was able to get 2 passes. I decided to bring my mom along for some special reason of course~ *evil smile*

The sale started at 9:30 am but by the time i get there it was already 10:30 am. I saw some of them were making their moves with few big plastic bags in their hands and big smile on their face. The line were so long that i can't even see the entrance and by the time i got into the ballroom, my favourite cosmetic brands like Bobbi Brown and MAC's products were sold off!! Oh gosh, those people are real crazy!! Not even 1 thing left in their counter! What a waste, i can't get the products that i've planned to get night before. So i went to have a look at the Clinique counter hoping to get myself some of the cosmetics i need. Luckily i was able to grab some. Phew~ it's just like a battle field in there. My mom and i got so exhausted after coming back from there. Next year i have to make sure myself to be there hours before the sale starts.

Now it's time to explain the photo slides:
1. The admission pass to the Estee Lauder Company Staff Sale
2. Various brands of the company: Aramis, Tommy Hilfiger, Donna Karren New York, Michael Kors, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, MAC, Origins, Stila
3 . Combination 1 is the eye liners, there's 3 different colors, each cost RM 15 but guess how much i've paid for them? Only RM 30.
4. Strawberry & Vanilla Freeze lip color, simply like the colors and there's one more lip shaper in the combination but i've forget to snap it :p
5. This combination cost me only RM40 ! Unbelievable! I like the casing very much too.
6. Combination 3 is the mascara, eye shadow and touch tint for eyes.
7 . I super love the eye shadow casing, you'll be shock to know the price of this combination. RM 30! Yes, it's 30! The mascara will easily cost you around RM80 for this brand and the eye shadow will cost you more than this price as well. It's so worth it.
8. Nice packaging of the Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise
9. Set of 3 : a 50ml beyond paradise+body lotion+roll-on beyond paradise perfume
10. The selling price of this set in the market is RM 260 and i've got it with only RM 120.

There's some more product that i've not put in but they all cost me just RM220. To add up all, they will easily cost me more than RM 500 if i would have buy them in the market.

WorldCup Germany 2006 Screening Party@ c18

2006-07-18T23:34:00.000+08:00

Hope it's not too late to share this blog cause the world cup has ended on the 10th of July. Thou i'm not fancy about football and even the players that gals are crazy for but i did follow some of the matches, either watching them at home with my parents and sis or went to some places for drinks and the matches the same time. For your info, my sis is working in one of the media company so we were lucky enough to get entries to the screening party sponsored by The Malay Mail. Guess most of you must be wondering why on earth i didn't go to the screening party in the Bukit Bintang. Let me just tell you then, there's road closure around that area and crowded so i never think of getting there at all. I was not intended to go to any at the first place, but when my sis told me there's one party where we can have free flow of beers and soft drinks, refreshment and most importantly with air-conditioned!! I eventually joined my sis and her friends to the party since it will only be held four years once thou i need to stay up the whole night for the match.

The party was held in c18@ Bangsar Avenue. We were lucky enough to get a whole set of couch for the 6 of us and the bar was just right next to us. Haha~ From the photos, you can see that we were at the 1st floor which is made available only for the Malay Mail guests. There's 2 big screens for the match, and the DJ along with his turn-table was just right next to screen.

As we've predicted, our supporting team the Italian had won the WorldCup. Hooray~

It's The End..Believe Me...

2006-07-14T02:50:00.000+08:00

What a hectic week i had and there won't be much changes for the following weeks for i had lots of assignments dateline to meet as well as midterms. I definately need a break, a Kit-Kat will never do me right. A sleepless night although i'm in an exhaustion mode after finishing the financial statement analysis assignment. Now i finally realized, by keeping myself busy is the only way to keep me away from all the sorrow and pain i feel inside.

Hesitated for quite sometime whether or not to blog on this issue. You are going to get the picture as i'm here blogging after a deep thought on how to express the feeling i had inside. Though i'm not ready yet to see the expressions and the words of care flooding me just like the last once. But i'm not going into details.Been having a hard time dealing with my emotions especially in this assignment season. I would be yelling over the phone, having no patience whenever i'm talking even with my parents and the situation get worse when i have not enough of sleep. What a big fluctuation as i'm no person like that. Where have all my patience gone?

I think someone has taken it away from me without me realizing when he left me so helplessly and lost in the realm of reality. And i have the most unforgettable april fool that i will never ever forget in my life. Leaving me with all the confusion, questioning from all of the people around us over the shit you've left behind to me. I would have to say that ending this relationships so abruptly is not the right way of managing it. So don't start one when you have not figure out the ways to manage! How can you manage your business, company or even life when you can't manage a relationship well.

Forcing myself to be strong and cheerful in front of friends and family. It's definately not okie to be weak. Why can't i just cry when i want to, scream if i want to, collapse if i want to! Someone that saw me gone through this shitty life over the years told me that i do not deserve to be treated with such cruelty and hurt so badly.He adviced me to take that this happened for the best and that everything starts off new-without him this time. Do you ever ask yourself questions like: Have you really cared for someone more than you expected? Have you ever tried to love him/her despite of all the pain?Have you??

Talked over the phone with a lady whom i respect and love dearly this afternoon and her advices had brought me back to the blue moods, reminiscing over what had happened, i started to feel the pain for i have numbed myself to be feelingless for the past few months. I thought i've healed over time unconciously but that just proved me wrong. So wrong that it hurts even more to reach at an extreme. Ending the conversation with tears welled up in my eyes.

The Last: Kiss - KLIA 4th Feb 2006 ,Hug- KLIA 4th Feb 2006 but when will be the last tear i would ever drop for you? I wonder.

Kisses for the time spent, Roses for the passion invested, Memories for the sweet memories, Goodbye to the passion and time as you're feeling it as a torture.

True love hears what is not spoken, and understands what is not explained, for love doesn't work in the mouth, nor the mind, but in the heart. My heart was shattered like hundreds and thousands pieces of glasses leaving me with a low self-esteem that i can hardly gain over the years. Now i have to start struggling from the very beggining to be able to stand with my own feets again. Wondering when i can meet someone that is willing to endure the pain of picking up the pieces so i could be whole again. I really do wonder. With teary eyes, i'm putting an end for my past and entering into a mature phase.

p/s: It's good to care but not to ask cause i'm totally blur as well. I'm such a loser! So don't ever ask me why! I've had enough of that. I need no questions in my life anymore when i have tons of them in my mind. Sorry for have to share this sad entries but i just want to make myself clear that i will not commenting on this issue anymore. So please not to be cruel to me! For those who's being there for me whenever i need someone to talk to, sorry for the inconvenience caused and thanks for listening to me and giving me some different point of view. You guys and gals are the reason i am still blogging here, i would have to say you all rock my world! I know you all will not want to see anymore sad entries from me, that's what i'm getting back from you guys and gals. I'll do my very best for that and i need sometime to be Me again~

Cool High End Gadgets

2006-07-09T02:49:00.000+08:00

Hey guys and gals, i've received an e-mail that caught my attention this evening. After reading and see-ing the pictures, i'm amazed with the development of technologies nowadays and the effort put in by all the scientists for making our lives wonderful~*cheers* for them for bringing us such a cool high end gadgets that you'll soon found out. I'm curious and wondering what our lifestyle would be in the coming future. More to be expected, surprises in our daily lives is what i'm looking forward to.

So now, any idea of what these are? My first thought would be:" It's just some ordinary pen that can be found everywhere, what's the big deal with them?"

I think most of you must be thinking the same as me. Now let's have a closer look. "Hmm..pen with camera and recorder? "

But the answer is WRONG!

"So now what? I really can't figure out what are these! Pens that can be bent? "

TaaDar~ Let's see it for yourself!

To my surprise, they are actually gadgets that can made up a laptop with the bluetooth technology. Soon, they will be replacing our bulky and space consuming PC. This is what we are going to use in the future! Ain't that cool?? While the computers company are still in the evolution of miniature computers, the great scientists are ahead by inventing this laptop by using the bluetooth technology. To sum up, life is full of surprises! So live your life to the fullest with all these cool stuff around!

Redang Trip 10.05.06 - 12.05.06

2006-07-08T20:01:00.000+08:00

Oh gosh, it seems so long after the vacation and there's a sudden urge that made me open up the folder to view the photos taken. So i've spent sometime choosing the photos i like,resized them and uploading them into slides that you can see above. That's so sad for i have to stay at home on saturday night, cause i had my OD midterm this morning, reached home around 2pm and dropped dead on my bed til 5pm. Guess i'm too exhausted and fatigueness all over me. So here i am, sitting in front of my laptop blogging while accompanying my mom watching tv shows. Surprisingly it's very common for me to do few tasks at the same time, multitasking is essential in this fast pacing environment, well-trained for that *winkz*

I had so much fun during the vacation cause i have no worries over my exam result, well prepared for i have to show that i can gain my self-esteem back even shitty things happened on me again! Why am i talking bout the shitty things when i'm imagining myself at the beach?! No no no, let's not spoil the mood. Planned for the vacation at very last minutes, during the study week when Kenny brought up the idea. This vacation was made up by Bee Sien, Kenny and his girlfriend, Kenny's friends Cally and her boyfriend, and me of course! So 6 of us took the midnight bus to Kuala Terengganu and reached there at 5:30 in the morning. At first, a close friend of mine, JC offered himself to take us for breakfast but i think that it's not so good to wake him up so early. Thanks for the offer JC.

7am, the resort's coordinator called up and showed us the place to get our bus to the jetty. From the jetty,we took a speed boat to the resort. From afar, i can see dark clouds over the resort, and rain started pouring so heavy that all of us were soaking wet when we reached the resort cause our boatman was driving in full speed -_-'' it's so painful to feel the raindrops tappered on us! After loading our baggages, we had a quick shower then headed to the beach to take some snapshots. In the afternoon, we followed the other groups to snorkel. It's my first time snorkelling and i had so much fun. Cause BS didn't know how to swim, she was so nervous to swim in the sea, so i hold her hand and leaded her all through the session. The next day, she was able to overcome the fear and snorkelled on her own *cheerz* For your info, we snorkelled 2-3 times a day but amazingly i didn't feel tiring at all. Guess the underwater world and colorful corals had taken away my worries and sorrow.

There's one thing that made me abit over exicted was i get to see the Star Cruise Virgo right in front of my eyes. The instructor and boatman decided to drove us near the cruise after the snorkelling session cause the cruise can only be seen once in 3-6 months according to the instructor. This once was so close that we get to see it from our resort. Surrounded the cruise that all of us were busy taking snapshots. How i wish i can get abroad. What a luxurious ride if i can ever get abroad.

One thing that i enjoyed the most was spending time sitting outside my room, near the bar, on the beach watching sunrise ( i woke up around 6 am every morning for that) and sunset. Looked upon the sky,watching the changes of the sky and weather, taking some snapshots. That's the life i'm longing for,it's good to slow down sometime , have a good look of the world around, how wonderful the world would be to be able to share all the wonderful things with someone you love.

I know i know,i've been talking too much. For sure i'm going to get more complaints from you guys and gals for again. Hope you all can enjoy the seaview just like i do.

6F Class Gathering 5th July 2006

2006-07-06T20:32:00.000+08:00

First of all, i would like to take this opportunity to explain that 6F is not a lousy class you know. It's common for other primary school to name their classes by using alphabetical order. Our school, Mun Choong used the same rule but there's a slight different cause there's morning and afternoon sessions. They faced problems to accomodate all the students due to limited spaces and classrooms. For your information, there's 10 classes for every standards and 50 students in each classes, so imagine 6 standards,60 classes and 3000++ students in a school. They had to split into 5 classes every standards for each of the session. Morning ones was named A,B,C,D and E so the afternoon ones continue from F,G,H,I and J. Our class 6F and 6A was the best class in the standards which others might think that we are from a lousy class and gave us a sarcastic facial expression which i think it's so unfair to get this kinda of humiliation!!

Since some of them from Aussie, local universities are having their term break so we planned a gathering as demanded from a classmate, Jun Peng. I've started sending out messages through friendster cause that's the best way to get back other's contact since i've limited contacts myself. Getting feedbacks and suggestion from others through the msn, asking others to help sending out the information through sms, we've reached a consesus to held it on 5th July,7 pm at The Curve's Heaven, which previously named Halo Cafe. That's one of my favorite hang out place, to get some drinks and most importantly to listen to the live performance there.

I reached there around 7:10 pm and some were already there. We had our dinner and chit chatting about our lives, as well as getting some latest update those not attending the gathering. Had lots of fun laughing and talking bout times we had together in primary school. We get a bit frustrated as some promised to attend did not show up bet never inform us, making it worst when don't even want to answer our calls. If that's the case why making such a promise?! If you never ever appreciate our intention of having a gathering then just tell us you're not going to join usl, it's just that easy, isn't it?

Somehow, we won't have our mood spoiled by some jerk and i think all of us having a great time there. I took some photos of classmates that attended the gathering thou just 8 of us shown up there last night. At last, when we were planning to make a move, a joker called up and said that he's on the way so we decided to meet him at some other place as we've paid the bill earlier. After meeting him, we headed home as most of us will have an early class the next day.

It's good to see you guys and gals last night, some that i have not meet since graduated from primary school, i'll be looking forward for the upcoming gathering. Wishing you all good luck in future undertakings and may you all be blessed with love and happiness~!

E-Commerce Presentation

2006-07-05T11:41:00.000+08:00

Firstly, for someone that is definately not a computer literate like me, i'm so proud to get my blog to look like what one should be like *wink* You'll never believe that started from getting a blogger account to posting 2 entries as well as changing the blog's templates spent me around 5 hours to figure it out! Finally, now i know what i've learn during my Pre-University programmes are of use~ the C++ and HTML coding ! Specially thanks to Mic, a friend of my younger sis who's good in blogging, thanks alot for the felp and information shared. Really appreciate the time you spent in teaching me.

Let's get back to our topic. Last tuesday, it was my group's turn to present our E-commerce assignment which titled "Mobile Money: It's Development and Risks in Malaysia" Mobile money is still a new term here in Malaysia so if you're interested to know more about its functions you can log on to their website http://www.mobile-money.com/ .

We've started preparing for me few days before the presentation by doing our own parts. We'vev decided to make our presentation a creative and interesting ones by doing something that had been done before in our class. We decided to take some video clips on how the Mobile Money works, it's transactions and processes involved.

To take a video clip, we need someone to "volunteer" to be the actor and actress in it. Without any chance for objections, Kenny and JS were being set up by the other 3 of us to cast in the clips :p. After taking the video clips we started to prepare for our slides and tried to edit and insert the clips into it. Big applause to our Boss, MC for spending so much time in preparing and getting those background that made our slides look so professional.

On the presentation day, we were so nervous and started to set up the laptop and projector and ran through the whole presentation once in case there's any mistakes. Soon as our tutor, Ms Lo entered to class and every classmates were seated we started by giving them some basic knowledge about Mobile Money in Q&A form. Ms Lo was smart enough to see our intentions of giving the papers to all in order to be free from questions asked by her.

The presentation went smooth and when the video clips were shown during our presentation, all the classmates burst out in laughter to see the superb acting by the two of them, even ourselves can't stop laughing thou we've seen in so many times during the preparation but we managed to control the crowd as well. To be more hillarious, you all should see the original clips with speaker on! We purposely turn it off so others can't hear what's happening behind. Those not acting laughing all the way, our Boss giving instructions on what to do etc. Too bad i don't know how to share it here or else you'll have a good time laughing at our clips.

After presenting, it's Q&A session. As usual, all the classmates kept quiet cause they were afraid to be asked also during their presentation. But, definately our tutor is going to give us some hard time. Alot of doubts from her, questions asked but our Boss was able to answer them very very well and Ms Lo was very satistfied. The comments from Ms Lo: " I can see the hard work and effort being invested in your presentation, Excellent! And now i know there's a good actor and actress in our class as well! Good job and i'm expecting more from the following group. " What a relieve to get her comments. *phew*

The photo slides above were taken on that day,can see that my face was so pale,dark circles and puffy eyes. It's exactly the same for the other group mates. Bravo! Good job and we're gonna rock others in our coming Organizational Development presentation!! Watch out you guys and gals *evil smile*

My 21st Birthday Bash

2006-07-02T18:59:00.000+08:00

Year 2006 is entering the 7th month and this is the year where all the '85 babies are receiving their key to freedom! I've received mine in May 15th and now i'm officially an adult! That is so amazing to become an adult for it's not easy to be in a transition of life. There's a big difference between the teenhood and adulthood, i've started to feel the pressure to be an adult cause i'll be graduating in less than 1 year to be exact in just 10 months. Part of the reason why i'm moving to a new blog is to have a new start, as turning to a new page of my life, writing the book the way i want it to be, adding more colors into my adulthood *cheers*

Photo slide above are part of the photos taken during my birthday party (13/5/06) organized at my house and my younger sis was having her farewell party at the same time. She's got an offer to study her pre-university programme in College Matriculation Gopeng which is fully financed by the government and that guarantee her a place in our local university. She has to register herself on 15th, the very day of my birthday, that is so sad. From the slide, you can see how many of her friends attended our party, that's alot you know. All of them chipped in to get her a real comfort pillow, that's not it, with all their wishes on the pillow case~! That's so sweet of her friends, special and creative gift i would say. That pillow follow her to the college's hostel for sure.

Finally, dedicating this blog for those who attended the party as well as those who were not able to make it cause most of them were celebrating mother's day. Thanks for making my 21st birthday a memorable ones. Thanks to my family,relatives, friends from primary school, secondary school, and university, last but not least my younger sis's friends cause i'm quite close with them for your info: for wishing me happy birthday so loud and singing birthday song so loud that i think can be hear from afar. All of you, your presence means alot to me you know. Truly from the bottom of my heart. Sorry for i can't list down the name one by one else my blog will be very long and you guys will fall asleep half way through the reading -_-'' that's the complain i always get!! Thanks for the pressie from you guys and gals, and i'm still redeeming them til recently! And here i'm reminding uncle Brandon once again for the Baskin Robbin treat that you've agreed in case you're too busy and forgotten about that :p

p/s: few of the photos were taken during my dear friends esther & lydia's birthday party and also in Shogun 1 Utama during their birthday which is just 2 days after mine!

First of all i would like to welcome you guys to my blog, though this is not my first blog. You'll be familiar with my previous one if you're following my blog supported by friendster. Many of my friends were asking why i'm not updating my blog anymore, there's some reasons behind and now i will not act secretive anymore. Here i am announcing the birth of my new blog *winkz* Sure everyone will be wondering,why on earth i decided to stop blogging there. Actually,this is a hectic semester for me cause now i'm a year 3 undergraduate so i don't really have the time to update it, but i'll try my very best for this new blog. Furthermore, i get so frustrated with the settings used that i can't really put the photos i uploaded to the position i want, this can be proved by my previous posts with photos scattering around the posts. That really made me giving up to post one of my entries with quite alot of photos taken. Not to complain anymore, hope that you guys will still follow my entries here and enjoy my very own arco-licious lifestyle~ I would really appreciate if i can get some commends for my entry, provide me with some idea and improvement can be made.
