Hmm...

Maybe, just maybe
there are lots of nice people in this world
but sometimes you have to test them
to see whether
they are genuinely nice
or just pretending to be nice

Before 2010 comes to a close

allow me to reflect on the awesome (and not so awesome) memories of the year.

-
So, January was the start of 2010, as of every NEW YEAR (Of course-lah. Duh...) I remember it was the month of decisions, decisions and more decisions. Especially because I took a step - something I never thought I would have done (if you know what I mean) So, went back and forth to my FAVOURITE place of study, filled in everything ONCE AGAIN... and kept waiting, waiting and waiting.

Before I could say anything, February came into the picture. Suddenly, I started doing the THINKING again. Contemplation is perhaps a better word. Like, what if I... Then, CNY came. Made me look past that for a while, only for a while.. because it was also the month when the new semester began. I thank God I had some EXPERT to talk to. Thank you, Mister. Thank You for telling me everything that I needed to know.

March marched in sooner than I thought it would. Overwhelming? Yeah, knowing that I had NEW everything. NEW set of friends, NEW (haha like I can hide anymore)

April oh April. Oh, if I'm not mistaken, I played something in tutorial to so-call COMPLEMENT and MAKE the PRESENTATION (which was really SUCKY) more interesting. HAHA. Funny that I actually had to make up my own music when my MUSIC book fell. Heh, and NOBODY actually realised I was doing just that towards the end of the piece.

MAY! Oh no, sem's ending. I think it was here where I felt really like: KNOCK KNOCK! STUDY! NOT HAVE FUN! *dies*

Soon, JUNE crept in. THE month that determined everything.

JULY: The month where we had the most NO. of people leaving... to KEDAH, KANGAROO-LAND and godknowswhereelse.

August... sigh... very sian month.. Bogged down by HORRIFYING assignments, NIGHTMARES as in having to face the LAPTOP everyday and every second, making u look like a PANDA the next morning.

September, another BORING month. Nevertheless, slaved through it. Call me a mad cow. Yeah.

October. Let's just say there was just one too many assignments. And there was this particular ONE where I spent 4567892 hours on it. The one where I finished at 5.30am. Then, ALAMAK! Referencing got mistake. :( :( After correcting, found another mistake! MAFAN that some lecs are really particular about your "dots", "commas" and what not. Yeesh! That's why ppl came up with "liquid paper" :) To make you realise that the easiest way to correct is by using that. :D Oh, yeah, and thanks to that PARTICULAR assignment, I crashed... fortunately not the next day... but unfortunately the day after. Lesson learnt: No more sleeping at 6-sth am, pls?

November: Had first paper, first week. Had a 9-day break to supposedly study for the next paper. But, something happened in between so that kinda broke the momentum to study really HARD. But, on the other hand, it's nice to know you're not crammed with so may papers in one day. Immediately after that, started PACKING for K-o-R-e-A =) After that, movie all the way :)

ZzzZZZZZZzzzz December: such a sleepy month. Rain destroyed most plans. First of all, heavy rain disrupts Astro. So, no TV. With the heavy rain, lightning and thunderstorm, I don't think you would wanna switch ON anything that runs on electric. So, there goes.... it's either I read or I sleep. LOL. So far, i managed to finish House Rules. The rest, malas nak baca walaupun byk gila buku.... plus my dad just SPOILT me with 6 more books to read. Lagi aku dunno which one to read first. Aiyo :S

OMG ah JO LEEN, why your post so long, one?
:)

Sorry
Bianeyo (it sounds like that, in Korean)
Maaf
Je suis desolee (I freaking need to learn to type the accents)
Dui bu chi (Haha, I simply tembak-ed)

2011? I'm expecting NOTHING MUCH :)

Okay, seriously, I need to go already.

Aiyah

Mummy was calling some govt dept the other day

After talking to the ppl over there for god knows how long she realised

Aiyah, my Malay cannot speak already. Like want to speak but in the end use English.

Lol

Next time, you call can ah? I'm sure u more "terror" than me

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Seriously man... stop saying I'm good la...

Speaking, boleh lagi KOT
Tatabahasa, KANTOI

but sometimes, i struggle to find the words too
be it BAHASA
or ENGLISH

It's like... it's there in my VOCAB but... bah... in the end, everything also haywire liao.

Meh, like I use BM more often than English NOW

Addicted

Tolong!

I'm addicted to this song

Been listening to it since last month

I keep replaying it

The brats are back

well, at least 10 of us. KK left before I came.

Maybe 17th wasn't a good day to choose as Jas and I came super late cuz of the traffic jam that's beyond anyone's comprehension. I was 2 hours and 15 mins late!

Sigh, GOD knows why M'sians love shopping so much. Christmas is just days away and that probably explains why even PEOPLE stay away from their homes and resort to retail therapy instead.

So, ordered food (seafood marinara) which I obviously didn't finish... because someone kept insisting: No, I dun wanna order anything. So, oklah, what to do? (Initially, I thought of sharing)

Then, when it was picture time, that particular person saw my food and went: Eh? Cnt finish ar? Why didn't tell???

And in my heart I was thinking: Wasn't she the one blabbering in Cantonese saying "I don't feel like ordering anything" (which, according to a sane person's interpretation means "I'm not hungry." / "Nobody shall force me to eat."

Okay, on second thought, maybe not.

Anyway, the gathering this time felt like it was lacking something. Hmm... maybe cuz the people who did come last time weren't here this time 'round.

Nevertheless, it was nice talking abt Sri KDU (all over again) Heh! Vain, much?

Looking forward to the next one, though :P

Okay, the brat is going off!

Toodles!

For all the SPOILT kids (including ME)

This is a powerful message in our modern society. We seemed to have lost our bearing & our sense of direction.

One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.

He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.

The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never had a year when he did not score.

The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "none".

The director asked, " Was it your father who paid for your school fees?" The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees.

The director asked, " Where did your mother work?" The youth answered, "My mother worked as clothes cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.

The director asked, " Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?" The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.

The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.*

The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid.

The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water.

This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fee. The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future.

After finishing the cleaning of his mother hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.

That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.

The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, asked: " Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"

The youth answered, " I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'

The Director asked, " please tell me your feelings."

The youth said, Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would not the successful me today. Number 2, by working together and helping my mother, only I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.

The director said, " This is what I am looking for to be my manager.
I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired.

Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The company's performance improved tremendously.

A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others. For this kind of people, who may be good academically, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of achievement. He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying the kid instead?*

You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it. After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person. The most important thing is your kid learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done.

The three dudes

The other day, I was telling my mum about a possible 5 Edison gathering dinner, once again. And then the following conversation ensued:

Me: Mummy, friday got (gathering) dinner. 5 Edison,one. (just in case she goes:Huh? Why you didn't tell me?)

Mum: Huh? Again?

Me: Yalor. The assistant monitor-lah. So gung-ho. Heh.

Mum: (random) So, is Azree going?

Me: No.

Mum: Why?

Me: 'cause he's not in the same class-lah.

Mum: No meh??? (thinks) Oh, yeah hor??? Then, how come he's so nice to you, one???

Me: I dunno.... (Hahaha... after 4-5 years of friendship, I still say I dunno. I fail as a friend).
Aiyah, it's Azree-lah...

Then, suddenly started talking abt Karl Shern...

Mum: Then, is Karl Shern going???

Me: No. Not same class again.

Mum: Wah, then how come he's also very nice to you, one???

Me: He's nice to me-lor... (Hahahaha)

Mum: Then, got people going or not? (All of a sudden) Ah, yes Kwok Kher.

Me: Yeah, he is.

Mum: Oh, got-lah. Eh, why so funny one? All the nice people are not in your class (at least most of 'em)

Me: Yalor...
----
was supposed to go to Columbus, one (Azree's class) but didn't want to go through the hassle of going to a different class and then studying different subjects and making new friends... it's like starting all over again. Meh :(

Already going to a different type of school from the majority of M'sians is daunting enough for me. And then suddenly, part of me wanted to go to Columbus. But then, I decided against it.

Mummy, you've successfully made me nostalgic, once again. Sigh.

The three dudes that painted my last two years of school life colourful. Only one outta the three is in my class. Naughty boy. calls me a banana. but on the other hand, he rescues me most of the time. Heh. (Thanks for the gathering, mr Microwave Oven boy).

Anyway, I hope the gathering would turn out to be a great one.

The boy who lived

So, I finally got around to watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Halows Part 1. I have to agree that the movie has indeed become darker with a lot of scenes portraying violence which does not make it a KIDS movie as remarked by my MUM earlier before the movie. To be honest, I got scared esp when Luna's dad punched the door when Harry and his friends wanted to leave Mr Lovegood's place.... (Okay, I shall not spoil it for those who have yet to watch it).

I think I've to pick up the book and read it again to understand better. I remember getting all hyped up when the book came out 3 years ago. Of course-lah... which Potter maniac wouldn't... duh... XD Was racing against time to finish the whole book but... I only did so in a week. Yeah, call me slow. Whatever. I was trying to enjoy every single sentence as well as PROCESS what was being written in that very last book. :)

Part 2 is coming out next year and soon I (at least) have to bid goodbye to the trips to the cinema I make, without fail. Then again, there's the books to constantly remind me that he is (and will always be ) the boy who lived.

Perhaps one of the BESTEST memories relating to HOW CRAZY or OBSSESSED I WAS over the boy who lived was (uhm..) BURNING my cousin's TV by accident after replaying the SORCERER's STONE movie one too many times (on CD). LOL. I'm sooooo sorry about that, cousin. Nevertheless, I'd like to believe we had loads of fun ADMIRING the CUTE boy who lived. Like how we wish we could marry him. HAHAHAHAHA XD Innocent kids we were.

It's all thanks to Rowling who created such a story. A story that brought millions of people (I may be exaggerating, but who cares?) queueing up in front of bookstores as early as possible... A story that... Sigh, I dunno how to describe anymore... XD

Bring on Part 2 :D

And to those of you who are fans,
cute, no?trying to jinx crabbe and goyle???
