*May 19*

Yet another memorable day...

Many of my first-times took place!

Firstly, first time stepping into One Utama. Not for shopping. Went there for Rynn Lim's autograph session!! Was given the chance to go upstage to give Rynn flowers! Thanks to a guy, known by us as Ah Quan, who sponsored 5 bouquets of flowers!! And luckily, among the variety, there was Rynn's favorite sunflower!! We just knew, anyway...haha...

The best thing about that was, we, 5 gurls, got to HUG him!!! My goodness, that was overwhelming! Though the hug wasn't quite a big hug, kinda a 'half hug', but it was a HUG!!!

First time hugging my idol!
First time hugging Rynn!

First time hugging a guy (other than my daddy)!!
~siao d...~

Was often distracted from paying attention at Rynn throughout the session. He presented two songs, Hide and Seek (捉迷藏), the theme song for Sony Cybershot DSC-T100, and Melody (旋律) his hit single! Half way through Hide and Seek, he took photos of the crowd with a Sony camera! The red one! looked hot...haha....

And while singing Melody, he brought a little gurl up onstage. He was singing to the little mei mei but the little gurl, not knowing how lucky she was, just stood there without any expression! Muahahaha... Wet blanket over Rynn!

She was just like a doll, when Rynn carried her in his arm, and talked to her like, "What's your name?" "Where is your mummy?", her face was still blank. Wahahahaha......it was really interesting though!

The second best thing about the event was, YZ won a photo shoot with Rynn!! Finally! I have a REAL photo with Rynn! (The fact that my first one was gone with YZ's stolen handphone.) Though the previous one might have been nicer, with Kym Jin Sha in it!! But anyway, I lurv this one! My first photo with Rynn! =D

Since we have only two CDs, I was lucky to get Catherine's 'help' to get on stage to get autograph (yup, and the chance to be closer to him), since she 'ordered' 2 CDs from me to be signed. Ahaha... he wrote our names on the CDs! And he wrote MY Chinese name CORRECTLY!! Yoohoo~! In such hectic and rushing situation! He has good eyes man... :P


First time I experience the paparazzi way!! At the end of the event, we followed...or CHASED after Rynn from the backstage til out of the main door! And Jin photo-ing him all the way! (Tried to, that is...) The usual scene at the exit: Fish and friends lining up waiting at Rynn's van! And us, thought we were smart, ran to the other side of the van, the window where Rynn was sitting at, but he was busy waving to fans at the other side... YZ knocked on his window to catch attention!! [Now was that even fun??] [YES~!!]

That night, there was a dinner gathering with Rynn. Though YZ didn't win the chance, the crew still called her last minute offering the chance!! But then, we had trouble with transport. Finally, Kae Vin saved the night! Haha... Thank s a lot to him, that we didn't miss out all the fun!!

The event was at Halo Cafe at Connaught Garden, that is, right outside my university!! How unfortunately to miss it! Believe me, it was my first time in that place which I was so curious about!

Rynn was 'interviewed' on stage by Wen Kang. Not quite what we've imagined. He looked quite tired, probably from the long 2-hour autograph-and-name-writing plus photographing session earlier. And probably he was a lil nervous with Wen Kang's interview.

Asked him a question (and thanks to Kae Vin again, for the idea, since my blur&tired mind couldn't produce anything that time), got a nice reply, someting like he wishes to learn the keyboard. [Ahh...nice...similar to my dream to learn the piano...]

Next up, a GAME! The idea really woke me up! Haha! I as usual will never forfeit the chance! And so, I was singing with Rynn right by my side! Ahaha~!!

Singing~!

The songs challenged were [Owl (猫头鹰)] and [Fly's Tears (苍蝇的泪滴)]! People say I was steady and calm, they didn't know I was struggling to get the lyrics right! Which brought to the comment by WK that I was reciting prayers! "......" Lots of thanks the others for their support!!

YAhOoO!!! I won the game!! Ahaha~!! Got a hamper and an autographed Hit Single [Melody] CD (only for promotion in Taiwan!!). In the end, another Photo session with Rynn!!! Aha... that's the price to pay for being a camera's spokesman! Hehe...jk jk...

After sending Rynn off [waving slowly (yet madly) at the dark van until we saw a hand moving, waving at us], YZ and I got interviewed by a TV station!!! Erh... wasn't in my best appearance, my mind was blank, and was saying stupid things... arghhh...all the way messing myself up!! YZ seemed calm though...
Anyway, accordingly, it will be aired by June in Asian New Force on Ch35 Astro! You can see how horrible I was...

Btw, still can't upload my own photos.

Special thanks to Kae Vin, Hue Yee and i-tung for the photos!

More than words

A week down the semester. Many happenings.

The pleasant ups. Despite the fact that the classes are so lack of gurls (which is normal, of course), It's nice to have a friends, a friend - a gurl - to spend the days with. No need to hear so much nonsense from those guys, at least...

And now really gettig the chance to practise my going-downhill English. Yes, speaking English in a rather funny half-past-six way.

Getting a highest score in Foundation last semester. Nothing related to my degree course.
Accounting.
When my mom knows of it, I wonder what she'll say...

For some of the days, I do not need to wait for the U shuttle van!! Yoohoo!! My friends would give me rides when possible, which helps save my average of half an hour time!! Thank you guys, muaxx muaxx~!!

Roses and lavenders blooming in my garden. I never quite believed when Kathleen said she tried planting the roses. Wow...

YZ was lucky enough to win a prize... To have a photoshoot with Rynn!! Yikes!!
And we are gonna bring a Canon camera to a Sony showcase.... '_'ll

In the badminton world, Chong Wei is back on track! Though Jin and I was torn between supporting him or Bao Chunlai! Ahaha... The Koo-Tan team could have made it further. But then , KKK seems to be going off track... one man's show, his coach Rexy commented. What will become of them?...

Unexpectedly, conflicts happened a lot. Jin, whom, as usual, has the problem with her friend, whom I think is quite annoying too.

Kathleen, in the middle of MUET, faced conflicts just before her speaking test. Pity her, to have that kind of friend as group member. Glad she made it through.
And another friend, who seem to turn out fine. Hah...
These few things, made me talk the most about Dhamma in one go! Anyway, I enjoyed it. Glad that I helped, Kathleen. ;)

a U-mate, Angie, faced a huge twist in life (I believe). Failed in her attempt to get PTPTN loan, she had to switch course from an accounting degree to a management diploma. A huge difference. It's such a pity, as she loved her previous course so much. She would be finishing her course by the end of this year instead of completing 2 more years for degree.

I can never escape from those lil things which keep haunting me. It always seem that I am the only one who has to go through this. Dealing with people whom you know are close to, yet you never know what is going through their minds.
People who are, naturally, superior than you.
People you care for, yet it seems you keep hurting them.
People whom you love from the bottom of your heart, yet you never let them know.

It's definitely a tough task trying to face it. As I don't have any idea how to face it, with the given conditions. It bothers me, it haunts me, it's killing me. I'd rather be jogging 15 rounds of the garden than to be tortured in this way!

I can't say it out. I can't find my words right. I'm never good at speech, ever since I was young. I can spend the whole day without saying a word. I can't speak my mind properly. They think they do, but no one actually knows what I think and feel.

It all comes back to miscommunication. The difference of mind between the generation. Some people who live to make others' lives miserable. Like them. Like me. I, making myself miserable.

Thinking that the world is not fair. And I have to bear it by myself.
With a lot of bragging and blogging where no one really sees me.

两个人

她,原是个开朗活泼的女生。但近两年来,发现她沉默多了。
她喜欢朋友,喜欢热闹。可是这段日子,她似乎都不快了。

也许,上中六不是最好的选择,但也是唯一的选择。

认识了‘朋友’的真面目。见识了社会的真现象。
自大,骄傲,‘kiasu’,背叛,甚至是马屁精的存在。

她 很累了。
也许,是学业的压力。
也许,身边的人,让她失去了自由。

世界是不公平的。莫非只有强者能发挥自己?而所谓‘弱者’就得做路灯,靠边站?

~~~
她是个孤独的人。拥有自己的世界,神秘的世界。
她发现了自己的兴趣,却得放弃自己的梦想。
有毅力,没能力。
走出社会,看了看世界。发现很多种人,很多的事。
发现她和别人的不一样。
认识了不少的人。
也认识了自己。
她的付出,也许让一些人佩服,但她知道,生活并不只是这样而已。
她其实缺乏信心去面对她的将来。
她也需要周遭的人给予的鼓励。
而她,也不想让大家失望。
世界是不公平的。但一切也得自己去争取。
世界是没有所谓的永恒。没有的,不一定得不到。拥有的,不一定不会失去。
把握机会,珍惜所拥有,才是真实的。
~~~
两个人。两个女生。两个性格。两个世界。
成了朋友。
友谊不需永恒,只要真诚。
不需在你左右,只要互相扶持。
~~~
Kathleen,我们有缘相遇,是很珍贵的事。和那一班同学同班,也是缘分。
也许他们已不在了,或者变了。是没办法的事。
嘿,至少,我是对妳‘真心’的!
世界那么大,未来的路还很长,会遇见的人如此的多。
你也不必担心。船到桥头自然直。
坚强多一点,忍耐多一点,这一关你一定过得了的!
我也一样陪着你,一起努力奋斗!!
记得,你并不是孤单的。 ;)

A new life

Sitting in the computer lab, wishing the time passes faster. My eyes drooping, my brain slowing down. Was supposed to be lying comfortably on a sofa at home watching tv, but now, as a change in time table, I gotta wait from 10 pm to 4pm for the next class! ...

Stepping into my degree program now. First day, and as predicted, almost no gurls! Luckily I got a new friend, yes a gurl. And we are the TWO 'ladies' in class!! '_'ll
Though she is taking Mechatronics engineering, the courses we are taking this semester are the same. So for now, I'm okay... hopefully.

We have a same female lecturer for Calculus 2 and Circuit Theory 1. From Sarawak. Her English pronunciation sounds weird, Malaysian Chinese slang...haha... but I guess she'll be good. ;)

First time eating outside the campus! Whew... this gurl... But still, spending a lot on food just ain't my type. That's why mom's home-cooked food is da best! ECONOMIC + DELICIOUS!!!

Crazy days are awaiting me. My spirits aren't prepared yet. The lazy brain still craves for the pillow. Ahh... but what to do? for the sack of the future, I gotta strive. Strive for what?... Good future lor....

Right now, kinda torn between choosing Engineeing Design or Computing for Engineers. Especially since there are limited places for ED. But then, mostly going for ED. Since I have friends there..hehe!

So much more to do. So much more I have not done....

~Happy Wesak~

Yesterday. A Wesak as usual as any other year. The unusual thing is without YZ with us...who is having exam back in her U. Jin went volunteering at BISDS stall with her friends. For her Pendidikan Moral project of course, and even got a T-shirt in return for the work! (Ehh... I should have gone too, rite??!)

There was a huge lantern right outside the Asoka Hall. Unfortunately I do not know the story behind it...hehe...but it looks good anyway!

An attraction is the exhibition of Amarekha in the Asoka Hall, which is first brought out from Sri Lanka! It is composed of 34 wooden sculptures illustrating 26 mudras (postures) of the Buddha.

Just struck my mind that I forgot to take a look at the class projects. Wonder what became of my clay-man...

Wesak marks the day of birth of the Buddha, His Enlightment day, as well as the Parinibbana (death) of the Buddha. This is the day (probably the ONLY day) that the Buddhist Maha Vihara is flooded with people. Many Buddhists (including once-a-year Buddhists) as well as non-Buddhists (some Indians, I believe) flock in, a huge portion aiming for the vegetarian lunch. Yet, a 'very usual thing'.

On this day, i expect a lot of peace and joy. Yet on the other end of the world, we heard of demonstrations and fights, 'in conjunction' of Labour's Day.

Anyway, Happy Wesak and Happy Labour's day!
