err... not really. Haha.
Went to Chong Hwa OFFICIALLY today! (after much consideration ;P ) It's like 3 years since I've taken public bus to school. At least now I do not need to change buses.
Finally collected my SPM certificate! Then hang around at the school like a fool (somehow most of my friends have taken theirs...) til their classes finish.
Had a chance to talk to Pn Ng when I saw her in class (that means I disturbed her class ;p). She looks so thin now... Probably she still doesn't remember my name... but know me as my sister's sister...!
Anyway, seems like everyone (yup, those friends) were the same as ever. Juen just screamed and shouted and jumped around...with big actions as usual... when she saw me. '_'ll
Met some of the other old friends like Pui Yeng, Wai Hong, Shuwen, Huoy Ying... Hmm... Everyone looks good in their uniforms! Kekeke...
Theng was absent. Wei was still the same her. Cool. Smart. Attractive~haha! Had a long chat with her. Then Ley Ley came! This cute 'lil' gurl skipped class~~!! Wahaha!
Ley Ley ar, dun oways play play liao la... A Level is more important! Study lar!
Thought I could have a long chat with Kathleen. Apparently, she pit dai me! Arghhhh...
Sports Club now must be a lot more fun... when the six-formers are sentenced with the co-curriculum order! People like Wei and Theng never showed up last year...sweat. Though I'm truly bad in sports, still love the fun of it!
Chong Hwa is changing now... students, teachers, canteen hawkers, surrounding. There are some boards bout school vision blablabla... hung around the school building, which i bet not many people really note of! Two shelters, a TV at the canteen (which works!!), a 'Tennis wall'...
Didn't see the principal... saw that Pn Zurina got more plump!
Oh, and the school got smaller... the area that is... government chinese schools are so kesian...
Will be some time til I meet them again. Hope I get to join their sports club activity next time.
ALL THE BEST guys!

我
我是个很奇怪的人。是吧？
感觉从前冰冷大人，变得越来越沉默了。
有时侯觉得独来独往的日子未必不好，自在且充实。但偶尔也会怀念那些热情的朋友们。
我说我是个胆小鬼。甚至，有时侯还有些coward。
我本来就缺乏信心，担心这些，又放不下那边，结果什么事都做不成。每当我放胆去尝试某些东西时，却总是被泼冷水。朋友，是个例子。说什么 friends forever, 结果呢？根本月不了她们出门，就连班聚会似乎也不出席。
再来，父母。。。 早前，妈让我不必去吉他班上课本了，反正学吉他‘只需3个月’。唉，以为她女儿我是天才咩？如果真的是，那以我党我军年前自修，今天或许已有一手了！
上星期六呢，老爸也说，让我停了吉他课。哇，干嘛？！惹祸了我！
真搞不懂，到底是不是不想载送我上下课呀？！又不让我自己开车出门，那license是考来爽的吗？偏偏每星期载送姐姐或她的东西又可以？
真厉害，高估我的吉他skills, 却又低估我开车的skills！！
更讨厌的是，每当看见别家小孩有多少，多大的成就，总爱拿来和我们比一比。很爽咩？一直restrict 我们，不肯让我们有自己的发挥空间，却又要我们跟别人一样好！
哟，这是什么世界呀？？！！
妹妹也真会气人。爸要我在课业上帮助她，我也尽力了。可是，唉。。。不知她是否有心学习。教了，说了，常犯错误也都指出来了。她忘了一些是正常的，但她却怪我不耐烦，脾气不好！！听了多心痛啊。。。对她苦口婆心，她嫌我们烦，啰嗦，还摆臭脸！结果，罪名似乎也是我担当了。。。
我是否太没主见了？
可是，我的意见，我的想法，有谁放在眼里？
好女儿，好姐姐，好妹妹，好同学，好朋友，好学生，。。。似乎没有一样是干得好的。
很多很多东西，只好都捌在心里。很多事情别人不知道。很多话题，都不多聊。渐渐地，话也少了。朋友也少了。
偶尔，会发泄发泄，别人以为我疯了。
回到了从前的我。很沉沉默的我。沉默得。。。有点儿像自闭。
我。。。是外星人。别人不会理我，偶尔用奇异的眼光看我。
我。。。是个长得像人类的外星人。
而我的飞碟坏了，回不去自己的星球，自己的世界。。。

two birthdays
It should be fun to have two birthdays in a row. If 24 hours aren't enough for you.
Today is my "Chinese" birthday! Haha... that is, my birthday following the Chinese calendar.
Can't believe I'm now in the last year of my teenage. Don't feel like growing up into an adult. It seems a lot that have changed this past year. My dreams, my aim, my life, my carrier, my personality.
If last year I was free and hanging around, this year I am preparing for my final exam and degree program for next semester.
If last year I was still busy applying for the numerous scholarship and deciding my future, I am almost settled down this year.
If last year I was still scrambling around with my guitar not knowing whether my strokes or strumming ways are proper, Then I'd say I am a lil better this time.
If last year I was still trying to get more news about F4's concert in Hong Kong, This year, I'm stuck with Rynn Lim!! (I still like F4 though... ;p )
Life was slow, but much. Strangely... People come, and go...
Some old friends still in contact, some seem to be lost in the air. Some new friends are nice, some... you'll have to find out later.
Don't judge a book by it's cover.
Anyway, relatives are coming tonite, should I ask for angpau? Haha...
祝我生日快乐。 ；）

IT'S MY DAY!!! my lonely birthday...
I wonder if I've been waiting for this day...
Anyway, it's MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!
March 22nd... always thought this date was the most beautiful date...muahahahaha.....
It's kinda boring to be having this day without dad and YZ around... feels lonely.
It's a thurday, and it has started pouring outside. If not for the monitor which went crazy last night, I would have been on my way back home. Arghhh...
Anyway, I try to make myself as happy as ever. As people wishes us "happy Birthday". But the level of happiness dropped a little since I cannot get online at home... (here i come again...)
No celebration today... since dad isn't around. Unless the roti canai from Auntie Cheong (who shares the same birthday!) counts! Hahaha... It's a heaven that I can rest a while after the hectic assignments...and group members.
Giving myself a treat by not touching anything academic...! Hanging around, watching teevee, playing guitar, and eating! But will have nothing to do tonite then... hmm...
Wish Jens a happy birthday too! ALl the best to him in his upcoming exam!!
Thanks for the wishes, everyone! ;D

Terrified
A terrifying evening indeed.
As I wasn't able to cross the road quickly today, because of the cars that kept coming, little did I know that 10 minutes later I would be so thankful for not doing that fast.
For a while later, I heard a huge scream and saw a malay guy snatching a malay woman's belonging!! It was just on the pavement that pedestrians often use. Th woman obviously had no intention of giving up and kept struggling with the thief even until they reached the Waja waiting for them up the road! In the end, however, I guess the thief had their way.
I as a pedestrian, wasn't able to help out anything. Now I experience how helpless women are when it comes to this. The theives must have targeted the lady when they drove down the road. Recalling, I remember seeing a Waja dropping off someone at the sidewalk. After crossing the road, I recall the snatch thief walking in front very weirdly. The thieves in the car must have targeted the lady as they came down the road. And the car passed by me... I was so close to being a victim! So thankful that I am here, safe and sound. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu.
Though not the victim, I gradually get frightened of the incident. Today onwards, I will be so much nervous whenever I walk back home. And probably my ctions were right. People out there! Especially the TARC or UTAR students, better not to walk on the pavement; or if you need to, watch out for cars and motorbikes!! And, don't use or hold your handphone or purse while walking!
Hope the lady is okay now. Take care guys... be aware!!

YESterday
A historical day again.
We finally got a digital camera after the long wait. Haven't had a family camera ever since the last one (film camera) went blur... thus, 'broken down'. Though that relative of ours said he would offer the same cam with 50 ringgit less, I doubt it... If he was willing to give in, then he would have offered a good price in the beginning.
Anyway, saitsfied with our choice. ;)
March 18 2007 is just as important. Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong did it again!!! THE CHAMPION OF SWISS OPEN 2007!!! Such an exciting game, both in semi-finals as well as finals! Rubble sets.... whew... got me jumping up and down!! And of course, shouting, screaming, groaning! Wahahahahaha......
After this day, the 'tragedy' comes... Kien Keat and Boon Heong to shave off their hair!!!
So sad... had to have a last good look of their hair last night...
~~~
10 years ago, on the same day, a truly really sad day. Have never thought my grandfather would leave us. It was an evening, still cold. Had never seen my dad with such a terrible look on the phone.
Mom was back in Malaysia then. Unfortunately the 4 of us in Beijing weren't able to say goodby to grandpa. How I miss him. Dad must be missing him so much more...

19
Somehow, there's a new record of the most number of A's achieved in SPM.
19 A's. Which turned out to be 18?
For many people (especially adults, who have children), they would say. "Wow, see how brilliant!" And would start the comparing and 'motivation' with their children. They would pay so much attention on the number of A's, on the results of exams.
If you are a Malaysian, you'd know the standard of this particular exam. And, ... (there are things which we 'should not' say too much here...)
Anyway, what's the purpose of taking so many subjects when you are actually goin one path only? It is obviously a race of a number of A's, who knows there might just be a 20-A's-scorer next year? So the 'standard' of SPM will go 'higher' year by year? Come on, show your talent by your real skills, not through a long and full and beautiful result slip!
It's only a few days from being 19. Feel a bit heavy, having to leave 18. Maybe 18 sounds better...haha... sounds more relaxing and free. 19 will be a start of a new part of life... will be facing a lot of unknowns. No more sitting around, no more surfing the net without any assignments or projects in mind. No more lazing around.
I do hope I would still have time to play my beloved guitar. Ooh... I have to!
Or I would go crazy!!!
19. Sounds old or elder for the younsters; sounds young for the adults. Some 19-year-olds have achieve something in life, some are still looking for their future, some might have lost their way, some are striving hard to live a life.
Some guy at Taiwan might have made a fame from his talents in music, being able to play numerous musical instruments and having a composing talent. At 19.
Some gurl in M'sia has just known how to do some strokes and strumm badly on the guitar.
Such big variety of people in this world. Some envy others. Some just don't give a damn.
Oops... now I'm doing the comparing...sweat...
Well, Doesn't matter. As long as I do my best. So much that I want to do. ;P

本性难移
人，活到了一把年纪，想法竟是如此，真可悲。
连我这个后辈的，都以对他们非常绝望。
真没想到，自己的亲戚也会是如此的固执！自大！厚脸皮！无知！！！
日子越久，他们越过分。连一直以来忍着他们的人都发火了，可以想象事情的严重性吧。。。
也许该庆幸当天他没来，要不然，真丢了我们的面子！
不来就不来，以为我们很稀罕吗？哼！
唉。。。
很庆幸自己生长在一个有教养，有规律的家庭。虽然烦恼还是存在，但至少我们懂得生活的基本方式，懂得打理自己的生活。
很庆幸父母亲让我们从小就学习怎么生活。虽然有保母，但也不让我们几个小瓜被宠坏。如今我身边的小朋友们或许很‘幸福’，有女佣伺候着，生活无忧无虑，很自在，要什么有什么，甚至是衣来伸手，饭来张口。但是，他们或多或少失去了基本的生活能力，将来的日子会面对很多问题。
先苦后甜，是有道理的。

different worlds
It isn't so easy studying at a private institute.
Especially IF you come from a middle-class family.
Many would think that getting out of secondary school is a heavenly thing. You won't need to be restricted by the discipline rules, and no need of wearing the ever boring school uniform anymore. Somehow, wearing school uniform isn't a bad thing afterall. Either you wear a brand new one, of a color-worn-out old uniform, no one will really care.
But if you do that at a private college or university, you yourself will feel so bad. You might be stared, or you just feel so strange walking or sitting among peole who dress like they are going for a party.
Especially for a person who spend a lot less on clothings and dressing, like me. It's quite a stressful thing to have to dress differently everyday from the limited size of wadrobe. I wonder how the girls ever have the will and time to dress up with 5-6 pieces of small clothigns jumbled up together then wear 3-4 pieces of necklaces and then make the hair pop up or tied up so that it looks most contra from among the students.
Educational-wise too. When some people know that you are on scholarship, they tend to rely on you. From leaving assignments to your charge until wanting you to 'help' them during tests. And the fact that I feel very weird whenever people start to 'praise' me or stating how 'bad' they are... '_'ll
Recently, our General Biology class has increased 2 times, because of the new special batch of students mostly from Nigeria. This made our lassroom even more packed than before. Worse is, you know... as quoted by some friends, the balcks have a habit of not changing their clothes and recycling them! So, in order to 'solve' this problem, they use a lot of perfume.
You would expect a huge 'scent' whenever you are around them. The worst thing is, when a group of blacks are together, they produce thousands of different scents...or STINK! It's VERY unbearable!!! It can actually make you dizzy!!!
*I wonder how I survived during the time at Pakistan College Beijing. Probably there weren't so many blacks then. And probably.... they change their clothes...*
And since they are from overseas, it's quite a sure thing that they come from rich families. And of rich familes, you would expect majority of them come not to study, but to spend their time, and show their faces...for a few minutes.
Yes, and that's the fact of 60% of the African students in bio class. Some will come in the beginning of the class, and leave just as the lecturer starts lecture. Some would come halfway through class, sign attendance then leave. Some just come almost the end of class, and manage to leave even before class ends! Obviously, they are there just to greet their friends, and sign attendance!
Somehow, they are short of some cells in the brain, or they just don't have a heart. Don't they think they would disturb the other students who were actually listening to the lecture? At least, they disturb ME! They just keep passing around through the seats, blocking people, knocking people, and even knocked off people's stuff on the desk! It's SOOOO IRRITATING AND FRUSTRATING!!!
Pity on them...
Especially IF you come from a middle-class family.
Many would think that getting out of secondary school is a heavenly thing. You won't need to be restricted by the discipline rules, and no need of wearing the ever boring school uniform anymore. Somehow, wearing school uniform isn't a bad thing afterall. Either you wear a brand new one, of a color-worn-out old uniform, no one will really care.
But if you do that at a private college or university, you yourself will feel so bad. You might be stared, or you just feel so strange walking or sitting among peole who dress like they are going for a party.
Especially for a person who spend a lot less on clothings and dressing, like me. It's quite a stressful thing to have to dress differently everyday from the limited size of wadrobe. I wonder how the girls ever have the will and time to dress up with 5-6 pieces of small clothigns jumbled up together then wear 3-4 pieces of necklaces and then make the hair pop up or tied up so that it looks most contra from among the students.

LeeHom craze
Wanna post some pictures of the concert, got some from Sin Chew Daily article, while I wait for Kathleen's photos.
The Grand opening. (Like David Tao) he came down from up above the stage, waving a flag like he's off to war! Haha... Later he jumped off the platform and 'fought' off the 'bad people'! Hehe...
He's good at guitars! (But somehow I prefer seeing DT playing guitar...) He is seen here with Jamie Wilson, who was one of the guitarists at DT concert too! He's Malaysian, haha!
Long-waited JJ Lin!!! Obviously I was most excited when JJ appeared. '_'ll He sang LeeHom's "Ni Bu Zai" (你不在) on the piano, while LeeHom mixed in with JJ's "Jiang Nan" (江南)! SUPERB! Later on, JJ sang his new single "Wang Ji" (忘记), one of my favourite hits, and brought out a fast number "Bo Jian Dai" (波间带). *It's strange, I go to JJ's cncert for Rynn, I go to LeeHom's concert for JJ...yikes!)
One main attraction... his MOVES!! This was when he was in really 'high' atmosphere... near the end of the concert.
End of show. LeeHom at his highest!!! Haha... His dancers helped him through all that mess!

Different Excitement!
Ended my CNY with much excitement.
On the Chap Goh Meh eve, we had a house-warming cum open-house session at our new home. Wasn't really us youngters' party, as 90% of the guests were my parents'. Anyway, Though I had as little as 3 guests, I seem more busy than my sisters! YZ was busy chatting with her friend (yes, and only that), JY was somewhere... I dunno. Then, I kept running in and out taking the stuff into the house. No big deal. But it seems an achievement to me, haha... for a person who is so timid and cowardly (oops...) at meeting people, this was the day I smiled the most! (okay, for this few months...) Looks like I really need a special push to get up and greet the guests automatically! Geesh...
So busy, yet kinda fun. Though I don't know or recognise a lot of the uncles and aunties, it's still nice to be able to meet some old (parents') friends again, like the uncles we knew in Beijing. And my house was never so presentable...haha! It's a pity my so-called friends "couldn't" (or they just don't bother to) make it.
Really thankful to Hui Ping who joined in the party, unfortunately I couldn't entertain her much. And the friends from guitar class too, "Thanks for coming!" It seemed the tables weren't enough! And ooh, Kathleen! So disappointed that you did not come, and which was very unfortunate as you missed out the handsome guy!!! ;P
My relatives were here, almost all crowding in the living room. They came from Kedah, Johor, and even Singapore!! Earlier the day, the scene was similar to the CNY 3rd day, when mom's family gather at uncle's house in Kedah. My grandma only came last minute, however, much appreciated.
And the food! What a huge variety! Too bad I only ate at around 10pm, much of the food were already in others' stomachs! The cendol was superb, direct from Klang! The popiah was a special delicacy! Yummy yummy!!
After all that, it was time to settle down. No one really knows that I had two papers to sit on Monday! Thank goodness there was a relative's maid to help out with the chores. So I get to take leave the next day! Hehe...
The Concert!
A long-waited concert! Um... for the Leehom fans. Finally, we got the tickets, quite far above the stage, but good enough.
Anyway, on the highest level of Bukit Jalil stadium, just imagine how small Leehom was. His performance was fine, but didn't seem as 'high' as that of Taiwan's or Hong Kong's (or maybe I'm wrong).
As usual, I screamed like an idiot! Kathleen must have been so surprised! Haha... (It's fun to scream, you know...) Lee Hom liked to 'play play' with the audience, kept bringing the fans to the highest with his phrases and songs and talents. And, the band palying behind him, was actually led by Kheng Long, the ever talented and wonderful Malaysian musician who was also the music director of David Tao's concert! There was Mat Nor, Jamie Wilson and David Tan as well! (Kinda miss DT's concert then...)
First time spending Chap Goh Meh or 元宵节 this way! Never really clerbated it or went throwing mandarin oranges into a Titiwangsa lake. I wonder if we can ride in the Eye of Malaysia and throw the oranges from up there! ;P That will be fun!
Anyway, it's different this year, I spent the night with (my sisters and) Kathleen! Muahahaha...

Happy New Year!
Such a Chinese New Year celebration I had. Falling sick on the second day of CNY was a bad time... Imagine when we were eating away the same time during the previous years, my sisters and I had only porridge and some eggs this day! Whew... thank goodness we were feeling better the next day, in time for the gathering with the relatives on mom's side... or we would have missed out A LOT!!!
Somehow the main focus isn't about angpaus this year... well I get less money this year...boo...
It seems I look forward more to gathering with my relatives...and friends (too bad, some friends don't give a damn...). Found a few of my cousins changing... looks-wise, of course. and turning more gorgeous! ;P Even my sister was a big surprise. She was the only one wearing skirt while the other two of us had trousers! Hahaha!
It seems I'm the only one not changing...hmm...no one SEES it yet..!
Joined a gathering at Boon Yung's house last Saturday, get to see the same gang, same friends whom I have not met for a few months. As usual, the so called 5566 gang weren't here... it seems there's never a gathering which they have attended...geesh.
Later we went to Dream House Restaurant at Prima Setapak. And guess what, (well...guess some of you might have known), the manager of the shop is one of the finalist of Project Superstar last year!!! And he is Max Chong! No wonder I see a familiar face when I entered the place. The restaurant is Somewhat a Halo Cafe style (right, I've never been here also), except that it was extremely deserted (2 customers!!). (Max and his girlfriend cooked for us! Haha!) There were guitars and a piano, which was a heaven to me! Since Max was a composer cum singer, he presented a few songs for us... and of course, he is good! It's a wonder he can compose Chinese songs so beautifully!
CNY ain't an easy time either. There is mid-term exam and assignments, and... this weekend will be so hectic for us!!! Coz there's a house-warming at our house, and our relatives are coming down all the way from Kedah and Johor by tonight! The house will be SO conjested!! But then, hopefully it would be an enjoyable though busy time. Call it house-warming, it is actually more like open-house for my dad. Well, at least I have such few guests, somehow those so-called 'friends' don't even bother to attend... (well, people change...)
Looks like I won't be online for some time...again... until when I need to do assignments (which I should be starting). Okay then, Chaos!
by the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you!
