The Flying Tap Fountain!!

Now a good look at the fountain!



The flying tap!

The even larger fountain!!

Our glamorous names!!

The alien's... =D

The lights...

Day time view...

Night time view...

Our masterpiece~!!

It's a wonder to me how I managed to stand not having to go home for one whole week. It's the project that kept me going on and not think and long for the comfort of my dear bed. It wasn't bad at all that my first ever stayover at a friend's house is because of rushing for a project. At least there is something to occupy my time (however unexpectedly too much work! haha~)

I believe that out of all the projects, our group faced the most problems. Somehow our design was much more complicated than others. And we had HUGE components to join up.

And guess how much the whole thing cost?

RM 1 K!!!

It would have cost much more if not for the free coconut shells and the sponsored wood planks. Though we would have saved a bit for some unused stuff. So planning of budget and materials is very important.

And of course. No regrets to group with friends mostly whom I know only for a semester. It seems everyone is there for a specific job. (not sure about myself though..=P ). And realised that some people can be a lot different than the person we know they are... Haha! Funnier.. cutier.. hehe... And I guess some people wouldn't be able to survive in my house... where there is a lack of... mirrors!!! Akakakaa~

But anyway, a great hug of thanks to my group members who made the day. For their brains and skills. And for their tolerance with my blurness!

And huge thanks to TS, Zack and WJ for helping out.

And of course, thanks to the lecturer for his kindness to extend the period of the project.

And no matter How much I like to spend my time with friends, home is the best place to be. ;)

Tiff, Hau Hua, Kyf, Lana, Heng!

Engineering Design Final Project - [The Progress]

The project that halved our holiday to 1 week... A whole month of physical and mental torture!
That was why I disappeared from the cyber world for so long, not becuase i went to another planet... (my spaceship is under maintenance~)
The next few days would be spent with Tiff, Heng, Lana and Hau Hua.

WEDNESDAY 22/08/07
Right after the final paper on Wednesday, we head to The Curve for lunch-cum-high-tea meal... with a special blueberry pizza~ the taste was quite good actually..haha!

Later at night we gave a 'surprise' (which didn't seem quite surprising actually) and again a Secret Recipe cake...

Before...

...After
[Disaster~!!!]

Heng, TS, Zack, Phoenix, Lana and Kyf

Later spent the last few hours of the day at Lana's house, which was quite a nice, kampung-ish place that made me 'kampung-sick'...

After midnight, we head to Heng's house, where we would be spending the week rushing our project work. TS and Zack came along to distract us by watching movies on Heng's pc...haha~

(Joking yea...) They helped us a lot in our work. ;) Before this, we were piah-ing with the coconut shells, cutting, grinding, smoothening...

The grinding caused a lot of dust. just take a look at my mask which I wore during the process...

Everything...everywhere...

The two coconut-shell domes were completed only on Thursday (with the fear of having to cut more pieces), a process which took the most time and sacrifices (sacrificing Tiff's Fundamentals paper... aiks). The worst thing is we had to HIRE someone to cut the coconut shells!! And I'm still not so satisfied with his work...boo...

The huge dome... very nice =D

[Somehow people who pass by will stare at it, touch it, then say "This is nice~"!

I like that...haha!]

After that came the wood planks which needed smoothening and mending coz they were taken from a contruction site.

Besides all the tough work, Tiff gotta rush the paperwork.

and discussions...

[Taken during 7-15 of the lunar calendar~!!! ahaha]

And more designs...and 'toys'...

holder??!

MONDAY, 27/08/07

We only brought all our work to the campus this day, the original due date of the project. And WE WERE the last group to set up our project there, while some others have already finished theirs! It's a fortune that we get extension of the due date, since we only get to finish THE BASE of our design on that day.

work work work...

Our dear base

A mess of the library front area

Managed to finish the walk-thru and first-layer painting before 12 AM the same day. Whew~

TUESDAY 28/08/07

The pressure to meet the deadline deepened. Tons of problems came; the motor, the piping, the wiring, the lighting, the landscape design, ...

All the while seeing the lecturer come and go to check on the projects of other groups which were mostly completed. One of the group projects looked ordinary, but they have a VIP...

Scorpion!

But of course, ours looked better...hehe~

husking~

Tiff really scares me :X

... upon completion!!

Tiff initiated the recycling spirit where she got some 'unused' (or rather rubbish?!!) stuff leftover by other groups to decorate our work!! Ahaha... the 'privilege' of working til the last minute~

And the grand scene at night~!!

The tired plus glad-it's-finished look...

WEDNESDAY 29/08/07

A whole week since we were stuck with the project.

Should be finished by now (the deadline was over...), gave a last touching to the thing, correcting the waterflow.

Helpless laugh?!!

The waterflow gave us some nice final trouble.

And finally... IT'S DONE!!!

对不起

Unfortunately, and very unwllingly, this has become a reflex action.

不是我不想改过。可是你知道吗? 你不曾给我机会，给我空间。


我已经麻木了。

Oo0~

fffiiiinnnaaallllyyyy......................

New PC!!!
All the way from Kedah! Haha...

Spent time fixing everything up, and find that we reali need something... huge monitor!
Coz the display now is too SMALL~

And still some problem with the damn network...
But just discovered some dramas here! Yahoo~~ but only able to enjoy after the project.

人的耐心是有限的

... 你可别太过分了。

雪上加霜

考试时节头昏昏, 班上同学欲断魂…

考试来临, 花了很多时间, 少了人手, 似乎赶不完.
伤到自己，‘锯’ 到手, 没关系，只要有进展，可以考试，就好。

~也许我付出的并不多，至少我尽力了…~

偏偏期待已久的活动都落在这 ‘生死期’ 内。就是羽毛球世界金表锦标赛啦! 真气, 没得到现场支持就算了, 现在又没得看球赛…
再来就是宇中德签唱会! 不知组长会否 ‘放人’ 呢?

而总是在这种关键时刻，那些讨人厌的事情有发生了。
突然全世界打起丈来了。
为何非得为了一些小事而伤了感情呢?
为何非得为了一些事，把别人逼得无路可走呢?

~太过于容忍，最终添着自己的伤口…~

“当我提起勇气要面对他时, 他却让我打退堂鼓…”


是我敏感, 还是自己小气, 去找do东西气自己。然而, 生气是有理由的。
我只是在做我该做的事, 你合作一点就行了，何必如此回复我呢?
我认识你不久，更不是你的死党, 我不了解你办事方式，你懂吗?
你可以不理我，但也别让我组足事，好吗?

“我要个确定的答案，因为你让我感觉很不确实。”

朋友，别为了自己的利益，而乱了别人的脚步。　


这阵子, 发觉说话.. 变得很难。所发生的事情，人家给的评语… 不是不能接受，是让我j接下来的开不了口… [说外星语，可以吗?]

“我不是不想说话，我是不敢说话，甚至是不知该怎么开口…”
唉，透不过气。

如果现在有什么人，能够让我轻松对话我会很感激的…

a short conclusion

Nearing the end of my first semester in degree course, I've realised the numerous changes in my life.

Realised the hecticness life could be in degree course.
Realised how much I have to catch up with in the most basic courses.
Realised my incapibility of dealing with so much stuff.
Realised that I have to put in a lot more hard work.
Realised that hard work isn't enough. It should come with brains.
Realised that so many people around me are so much more smarter than me.

Found that I have a lot to sacrifice.
Sleeping time. Waking up at 5.40am almost everyday, I have less than average 6-hour sleep per day. Well, the fact that I NEED and LOVE to sleep~ haha!
TV time. Similar to secodary school days, never really watch any dramas.
Time with family. I realised I usually talk to dad in the car, not in the living room like before.
Home-cooked meals. Weekdays' lunch are almost always at the cafeteria, which sucks.

Realised that University life can be hectic, but enjoyable as well.
Realised how time spent with the new friends can be so different compared to old friends.
Realised that mixing with guys can be quite easy, and fun of course.
Realised that I do enjoy hanging out with them.
Realised how friends can come in helpful, especially psychologically...
Realised how simple things can get complicated in a gang.
Realised that I'm still very conservative.
Realised how much I need my best friend and How I misses her...

Met various people of 'all races and types'.
The gang that I mix with in U, as described by a friend, is quite matured. Which I agree with, generally. Who knows...
That people from other batches and gangs are quite friendly as well.
That there are people who can share their love of music with me.
That some minority personalities can be way too friendly... which I cannot cope with.
That somehow it requires skills to reject people.

Realised that I might actually miss this campus when we move to the north wing...
And a different life again.

Realised that I don't regret giving up matriculation in government institute.
Although I still crave for the fun of co-curriculum activities in Public U.

Realised even more that I really suck in sports. Though I really love sports~ Kinda torturing for my friends huh..?
Realised that I am a real crazy fan of badminton! That I can chat non-stop about it with internet pals...
Realised that Rynn is my ultimate idol~!! Isn't he? Haha...
Realised that somehow some of my dreams can actually come true. Depends whether I want to grab the opportunity when it comes.

There are so many things happening around us, whether we like it or not.
Things can be hard or easy, depends on the way we view it. The attitude you handle things.
Accepting reality is so important. Coz it can change your life. And as well change the world.

Friends, take up the courage to face the world.

And of course, ENJOY LIFE~!!

And btw, cupid hasn't spotted me yet. So guys, stop shooting your arrows at me~!!!
Very sien de leh...

P/S: To whoever I've in some way, unintentionally irritated or hurt you, I apologise for my behavior...
To my true friends, Thank you all very much...

Thank You so Much~!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, Mom & Dad~!!! Would consider that a belated birthday present!!
Muaxx muaxxx~~

My new Handphone!!! Yahoo~~!!

Reality

It's been a rather hectic week. 'Four-turned-three' tests all the way down the week, with ED project meetings in between, then attending the Awards Day where I appeared as a guest holding a huge book and a huge file of Lana's, and sleeping less and less with only 2-hour sleep right before circuit theory test. And the test, was all a mess. Everything was blur, from the beginning of the new lecturer's class, to the end of the test. Hope I won't flunk. On top of everything, feeling unwell all the way, diarhoea, vomit feeling...hah...

Think that wasn't enough, I joined the gang to PC Fair after that, my first time ever, hah. A non-pro and non-addict, it walking merely walking in a straight line, seeing less than 30% of the place, hehe... Didn't get to ask anything about my desktop in the end. Boo~

Whether it was my luck of being blur... on the way home, a guy, an uncle-looking person, asked for my help at the LRT station. Being aware of the reality of society, i tried my way to escape, though he was trying to convince me to lend him money. According to him, he wanted to return to Malacca, but his car was short of fuel. He even asked me if I had any friend going back to Malacca, so that he can follow back. Such a coincidence, that I did have such friend. But who's so stupid to pull others into the river...

I had to call my dad for help, in a way, pretending that I was asking for help for him. I wonder why I just didn't get away then. Blur gurl. But thank goodness, he didn't do anything funny.

Later on, walking back home, probably I was being too sensitive, I felt that a dark-skinned guy behidn me seemed to be stalking on me. Another escaping routine again. Walked a long way round the garden, so afraid of seeing him behind me again.


~

Went to Chonghwa today. Ended up having a sun-tan while watching the guys playing basketball on their own. Played badminton with Kathleen, something which we haven't done together for ages, or we never did, haha...

And coming up, calculus assignment to be completed, and a huge final project to be done. Yes, right before the final exam. It will be the similar case for other project-based courses...arghhh...

paralysed

After a hectic day, what's worse than having cats-and-dogs rain pouring out there, and you getting stuck in the LRT station for more than one and a half hour?

While trying to make time for studying for tests and more tests as well as meeting deadlines of assignments, what's worse than having virus attacking your computer, not able to access to anything on it, getting crazy over the stubbornness of the Internet Explorer, and not haivng anyone really understanding how serious the problem is.

Now, I can only borrow pc from just anywhere... a new pc will taking super long time. And worse off, all my coursework saved in the dear old pc are in great danger. All the assignments and info I've put hours and days and weeks of time in...

No one understands the situation. No one understands me...

I wonder when I will just get crazy. Tanjung Rambutan waiting for me...

party out~

That was more than a week ago. It was Porson's birthday, and we threw him a surprise party~!! Haha... haven't been having this stuff for some time. It was fun of course...

And to introduce my gang of friends in Engineering...

Tada~!!

There was supposed to be a cake at the bottom...ehehe...
Almost everyone was 'dressed well' for the thingy. Haha~
The majority of gurls in my batch are all here... ;)


~posing~

It's a pity we are gonna shift next semester. Will be missing this place so much... no more basketballing & badmintoning...maybe.

frustration + upset + headache

Been so stressed out recently. Have never been so disappointed with myself. There were times, actually...
This time, I'm totally upset with myself.

It's like back to those times when I couldn't remember a thing in the textbook. Now, I seem not able to solve any problem at all, although I kinda understand. And it was the test where I had most sleep time before that...coz I was halfway giving up...shouldn't be, I know...

And the clumsy me. Hurting myself while doing the project was okay, but breaking things wasn't in my schedule. I am so upset with myself... so so upset... and so so sorry to Lana for spoiling her beautiful dream...

And now, the course planning bringing such a headache to me... to finish fast or to drag. Since we have less courses to take compared to the Mechas. And so, if we follow their plan, then we will most probably be finishing faster. But I, the 'usual' unconfident me, am worried that I cannot cope. AND COOP! To do it next year or during the next next. AND my coursemates drove me crazy....ARGHHH~!! They are just so optimistic and takes everything easy...pressure for me...

All these giving me headaches...real headaches... even the course planning itself. It's so hard to please everybody.
Yet I don't get to please myself...

Especially sleeping.

Wakin

Not-very-excited but long-waited concert. Wakin 20 Concert! Yesterday at Bukit Jalil.

It was a day that Emil Chau Has been in the entertainment circle for 20 years and 1 day. Memorable indeed. And so, he presented a long list of hits which kept him in the line famous and powerful all these year. Included quite a number of numbers which I wasn't familiar with... especially those Cantonese hits. But all the way, I marvel his soulful voice. Enjoyable~!

Though it was quite a boring act, I was fishing away during some times, when he sang unfamiliar hits, of course. But there are events which lighted me up! Haha...

During a time, when he was singing and playing his guitar, a guest artist appeared... CHENG LEE~!! [FYI, he is now a well-known composer who wrote songs for Rynn Lim and Emil as well~] He looked good!! *drool* He sang along the songs composed by him for Emil [Ai Mei Gui] and [Wo Men Bu Ku]... Then, a special treat for the audience... he presented an unfinished song of his composition!! VERY VERY MARVELOUS~!!! It was the part of the concert I enjoyed most! His has a great talent~ Heehee...

And then, at another interval, Michael Wong appeared! He was shining~!! Ahaha... He presented an English oldie, [Top of the World] with Emil, a song he was preparing for his upcoming English album. Nice nice... As he was a huge fan of Emil for long, he granted his wish, by letting Emil autograph on an album of Emil's released in year 1994... in the form of a cassette! So cute~ ;) Later, he sang a hit of Emil, [Gu Zhen Nan Mian] (if I'm not wrong...hehe).

The last guest artist (so many guests...) to appear was Nicholas Teo. Though he said he was easy on stage, I noticed that he was nervous while singing with Emil. [Haha....singing with your idol, don't play play...] After that, a seemingly unplanned procedure, He called Michael Wong (who was watching the concert..) and Cheng Lee up on stage for a group song of [Zhen Xin Yin Xiong]. Looked really cool~

It was a concert very well worth it - 4 hours long!! No colorful stage, but with some confetti and fireworks once in a while. Cracking of jokes by Emil...wonder why his songs are most very sad...

A great exposure to a long-term artist~!! Great time...

helpless

Please. Please tell me what to do.

I really duno what I should do.

I am so helpless now.
I have no place to go. I cannot do anything. I have no one to talk to.

I have four years of this hectic life ahead. It's only the beginning, yet I am feeling the hell out of it...

It's no use talking to them. They only accept their own reasons. And twist the truth, making the matter worse.

I am so occupied in the mind by the heavy coursework. I am so stressed by the distance I have to travel everyday.
Yet, many a time, undesireable situation takes place.
Especially recently, when there are fewer people at home.

And we become the 'victims'.

I'd rather be hanging around at U, unlike previously, when I would be rushing home everytime the class ends. Friends are always the best resort, through them, I can temporarily ignore the stress I am facing. But easy times never last long...

I have a feeling of being forced to move out.
Yet it seems like they know I would not move out, so they are taking advantage of my weakness, my attachment towards them, against me.

Move or not move?
If I move, I will face some obstacles, monetarily, like the basic needs. And I might need a notebook, which will cost me a fortune.
If I don't, I will have to face all these every now and then, stressing and torturing myself physically and mentally.

Things just aren't as simple as you think. Many people do not understand my situation.
And the worst thing is, everytime I face this problem, I have no one to resort to, to talk to, to get advice from.

I have no control over my life, and my time.
I have no freedom... at all.

What shall I do?

I am so lost...

With schedule packed, still managed to sort out an hour or two for the interview with Rynn.





It was a time so sien trying to call in to the radio station, until I started to go fishing. Then the voice of Nic woke me up~ Aha!! Finally! My effort paid off... I get to chat with Rynn on radio~!!!





And basically, I was just talking CRAP. If any of you heard it, you'd think I am being too pressured by my coursework (in a way, this is true) til I talk like that... Haha... wonder why I just love to kacau people nowadays, even with Rynn! Naughty me...



But then, I was so touched and happy that he encouraged me to keep up with my guitar learning. That was after I expressed my wish, my dream... a ridiculous one...



"I have a wish to play guitar and dueting with Rynn."



The first time revealing it here. No one really knows of it, obviously it's a very rare chance of it being fulfilled. But I'm glad I had Rynn known of it. =)



Back to the interview. Soursand too called in. And rather interestingly, she spoke Malay with Rynn! Ahaha... It was fun listening to Rynn's 'kampung' Malay language, as he described it, comparing to Soursand's version which is with 'ink' ( 有墨水)!



I bet by now my image to Rynn has been polluted... all thanks to myself for crapping nonsense...

If Rynn ever recalls me, I do hope he remembers me and my guitar, not all those crap... hehe!

认识我吗？

我发觉，我好像很喜欢折磨自己。总是为一些小事烦恼，然后生自己的气。

很多时候，真的不知道自己真正想要的是什么。要的得不到，不要的总是缠着我。。。

最近脑袋总是没得休息。完了考试，又得烦观摩团的事儿，要不就是准备下个考试，做实验报告。在家的时间也不多，却还得看别人的脸色。

又总是当替死鬼。被冤枉，被诬赖。

偏偏在低潮时刻得遇见一些不想见的人。我知道，我不该这样子，可是他真的很烦啊~！！不是我不想帮他，只是他太依赖人了，总是等着别人’把食物送进嘴里‘，而害得人家
没饭吃’。

我承认我是个怪脾气的人。我是愿意帮助别人，但我不喜欢以spoon feeding的方式教导，我选择给他鱼网，让他自己做。毕竟这是application的东西，不懂得运用，就没法自了。但他呢，还真‘聪明’，总是跃越过我的位子，找拉娜去！因为拉娜会很好脾气的一步一步教他。虽然，她也是受不了，才让我‘帮帮’她。结果，那位名为‘聪明’的先生，怕了我吧，宁愿去找拉娜。。。无力。。。

或许在看这篇文章的人都吓跑了，哈哈~！我不是要欺负或虐逮人啦，帮得上忙的，我会尽量帮忙。

其实我不知这样做对不对，只是觉得这样子不会帮倒忙，害了别人。不过那位先生还真是很烦呀。。。教我该怎么做来‘甩掉’他呢~？

Sleepless

Only managed to finish my self-designed clock at around 4am. LAck of knowledge and experience in photoshop...hah... The design was unsatisfactory, especially the color.

Had less than 2-hour sleep. Woke up early to go for my passport application. Got my passport made in less than 2 hours! Hehe... My first passport since 7 years ago~

On the way to University later, caught a familiar face at the LRT station. Guess what, it was a friend I got to know in Beijing! A Malay friend who used to be my classmate. Somehow, he recognised me (unusual~) and still remembers my name (that is, one of my thousand nicknames). Memories rush into my mind, and I start to miss Beijing again~

Thought this wouldn't be a bad hair day, I was wrong. The reason for not having lunch was not becouse I was feeling full from the tosay (whatever) I had earlier, but because I was starting to feel ill.

Reaching home, the pain in the stomach increased, a sign of food poisoning. Great, food-poisoning again. That I couldn't sleep well. Suffering indeed. That's when 100 Plus comes into use. 3 glasses down the throat, and I felt better. And I'm now here. hehehe...

~Yey, I got my passport!~

10 years

It's July 1, 2007. 10 years Anniversary for Hong Kong's return to China.

It's been 10 years. The memories of 10 years ago, on June 30, 1997, is still fresh in mind.
Remember that particular night when we were watching the ever amazing fireworks at TianAnMen Square from the dining room while watching the tv a countdown celebration concert.

And today, I'm watching the fireworks on the tv screen. Not as exciting of course. And the fact that I have a mid-term paper tomorrow. And that I have not finished my design, all thanks to this computer.

And I shouldn't be here anymore.

寄生虫

Life has been different ever since entering university. Especially with the people around you.
They just are so unexpected.

Education in university is very different from our primary and secondary way. No more spoon-feeding. You gotta be hands on in order to receive what the course offers.

However, not just anyone or everyone would realise that. A few, for instance, still needs this kind of feeding DIRECTLY, a case worse than secondary school I bet. Got to know one such person in class. Not that I try to despise him, in fact, we tried to accept his way, tried to help him. But somehow, we are doing more harm to him, and more stress to ourselves. Especially to Lana, who is too soft-hearted to refuse his request for help.

So, decided to put an end to this. Or at least, reduce it. And I, was the one facing the challenge. Chaning seats with Lana was suffering indeed, with questions popping up from beisde me every few minutes.

But probably he had a surprise. Or maybe not. I'm just not as friendly as the nice sweet Lana. They were sitting beside an ALIEN~! I just didn't teach the same way. When our aim is to let him back off. It was bad of me, but I had no choice...

It's important to observe the people around you, your coursemates especially. I have been warned of these so-called 'parasites' ever since the first day I stepped into this university. We've gotta face the reality of the society.

Torn between

Things have got me thinking.

Friends have been suggesting that I move out to the area nearby university with them, which is more convenient compared to my everyday-trip to-and-fro Cheras. In some way, I was attracted by the idea, especially now that I seem to lose a lot of time doing things other than study. Besides, I will be able to get help from my knowledgable friends in my studies. And, there will be more time to spend with them, and go lepak-ing with them!

But there are a lot more to be considered.

I am a very 'family' person, I am very attached to my family members. Obviously, I place my family in the first place. I treasure every moment with them, coz you never know what's to come. I don't like imaginating the situation of me moving out, the lack of my role at home...

Staying at home, I get to eat home-cooked food, my mom's delicacies, healthier dishes. I can't stand eating out even for a continuous 3 days. And laundry is another problem. I'm just too lazy to do it...heehee...

If I were to move out, my cost of living will greatly increase. Everythings requires money. Rent, food, fees, transport. I might even need a new laptop, the fact that the computers at the lab isn't always available, and my bad habit of finishing work at the last minute.

I guess this whole idea isn't necessary for now. I only worry about the situation in future, during year 3 and year 4, which is described as much more HECTIC than now.

Any comments?

It's still CrAzY

The last time I would wish to happen. Falling sick right before examination.
And I did.

Caught a flu on Friday after 'hanging' out, prior to my YMBA exam on the coming Sunday.Kinda having a virus going on at home. So you all beware~!!

Have been trying to call in the radio station to win Rynn's new Edition album. Never succeeded when we want something so much. Yet got something else when my itchy hand called in for another contest~!
Which I was hesitating whether I should hang up the phone ... when the DJ Jason answered! Haha~!! And it was another signing on the radio!

My second time now, ever since last year when I sang 'Kao An', and now 'Xuan Lu'~!!
Rynn should be proud of me~ hehehe~~
Next time, I'll come with a guitar...

No chance for me to rest. the sequence goes:

YMBA > Assignment > Mid Term > Assignment > Mid Term > Assignment > ......

I have things planned out, yet I don't know where I should start from.
In other words, I'm lost...

The Tin Heaven

Went for a 2-day tour in Perak on June 8 (finally updating now~). The places where we pass by at least 6 times every year without stopping by...



Well, the destination was Teluk Intan, which became the Final Destination after a change of plan. Right after my horrible circuit theory test, we had a ride through the serving-no-purpose SMART highway......whcih was quite boring really...



On the way to the north, we stopped by Kampar for a famous gigantic "curry bun". As big as a turkey, haha. Then, since mom was so eager, we made a trip to the UTAR campus there. *The fact that I've never even really seen the Setapak campus.* Except that the location wasn't near town centre, the location was superb~!! With modern building styles, huge acres of land, a huge lake surrounding it, and blossoms of cute and rarely-seen flowers!! Wow...

Took some photos, but still cannot upload...hehe paiseh~~

Went off to Taiping, and visited the legendary Taiping Lake. The place looks a lot fresher than Titiwangsa Lake, and I especially love the huge trees which grow from one side of the road and reached their branches to the lake surface!

On the way down to Ipoh, we turned into Teluk Kertang and Matang to take a look at a cheap seafood restaurant reccomended by dad's colleague. TK was a typically small fishing village, which is smaller than my housing estate. The calmness and peace had me wanting to spend a day or two over there!

In Ipoh, we were to spend the night at a cousin's house. Got to see the cheeky Candy again! And she's learning piano! *envy~* We gurls were in luck, coz we got to watch the recorded Lee Hom's Taipei concert!! It was so much better than the Malaysia concert. And especially the guests to stand the stage with him - Westlife~!!! MRVELOUS~!!!

One unlucky thing was, we missed out the 'smelly taufu', which is a favourite of a pasar malam nearby. Hmm...

Next day, We went around Setiawan, hometown of Uncle Tan, where we had a famous cendol and nice Fuzhou food at Air Tawar. Make a trip to a local fame, a shop where delicious 'buns' were homemade.

Finally, at Teluk Intan, we climbed up the slanting tower. A place dear to me, I'd like to study the structure and design of the tower, which is kinda chinese culture influenced. A marvelous piece...

All the way back, we took the coastal road, which is rather long, of course, but a different experience. it's fun to go through different areas and towns. A relaxing view for a city person.

ARRGGGHHHHHHHH~~~!!!

Gimme a wall to bang my head~!!

I missed it!! The show I've been waiting for almost a whole month!
With Rynn! And I!!! Interviewed~!!

Thanks to YZ, who was watching CSI and FORGOT to watch out for that, only she who got to watch the repeat, we can only be her listeners...

Missed another repeat show AGAIN when we were watching Badminton matches~! SHOOOOOTTT...... I can't believe it... Why can't I get a bit luckier when it comes to programmes with Rynn?? Urghhhh....

No break

Tests finally over. Didn't do well.

Tortured myself with a jog after a whole month of no exercise. The body's gone stiff, so no matter how much I hate jogging, I gotta go for it...

Now it's time to bury my head in my Dhamma studies. Seems like it's been a month since I really revised. The pieces are still missing in the brain, when my aunty-and-uncle classmates are almost well-versed in everything!

And finally the Kuan Moo Tuan is open for registration!! Have been waiting for it, afraid that I would ever miss it. It's the best chance to tour Taiwan without being 'robbed' by some people who force you to shop!

AND~ It's a three weeks vacation!!! Walao... Imagine that, for a low price...
But still depends on luck. I do hope so much that I get picked~!!
Wish me luck~!! =)

Mission accomplished... not

Mission: watched Pirates OTC AWE with Kathleen and Catherine.
Accomplished.

Mission: Go karaoke-ing with them.
Unaccomplished.

Mission: Study HARD for Calculus II and Circuit Theory I.
Still under process of accomplish-ing.

Mission: Go for dentist appointment RIGHT before my Calculus test. And mostly be late for the latter.
To be accomplished with great nervousness.

Mission: Study and memorise Fundamentals stuff.
Wait till next week to accomplish.

Mission: Finish my assignments and lab report.
Lazy to accomplish.
No time to accomplish.

Mission: Go karaoke-ing with my new friends, Lana and Pheonix (and probably somebody else).
Hopefully gonna accomplish.

Conclusion:
I am having so many business!! I dreadfully need more time!!

And about the pirates. Not quite happy with the ending. The fact that I don't like heroes dying or changing to other unfortunate form... well, it's okay though. With most movies having the heroes safe and sound in the end, this is quite realistic.
The fact of "Death is certain." applies here.
K-ing plan pao tang again, as Kathleen was late.
Catherine seems certain to challenge the Mount of Kinabalu. Wooo... I salute her!
And she's pretty excited about the Rynn CD she got! =) of course, since Rynn wrote a "Happy Birthday" for her!!
Went all over Times Square looking for Voodoos!! Aiks... But they are quite expensive... thinking of making them by myself now. Just that I do not have the materials ... and time.
Yes! I still love making things, but haven't touch anything ever since Secondary school.
And I still love sketching! Out of the courses this sem, Design seems the 'most enjoyable'! Coz we gotta sketch... for now. And I wish the lecturer would not helpme that much...yet. Wait till my final project.

Life seems a lot more boring now, especially since I now have a class on Friday! There goes half a day of time every week...

Don't look forward to the tests, but look forward to the K-ing plan... 别再泡汤了~!!

*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...

Photo @ Halo Cafe with Rynn

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.
