If I have three months left...

"Long live me!" I do wish myself long life, I still want to play my role in this society.

If, IF I really have only three months left of my life,

I would get my 'social-work aspiration' going immediately. I had often wanted to help the less-fortunate society, the disabled, the old folks, the parentless. Maybe I can't do much help materialistically, but I wish to learn some counselling to help them realise that the world can be brighter than they think it is.

If possible, I'd like to travel to the places i've been desiring to go. If there's a chance, I'de even do social work while traveling.

And one most important thing is, to let my family and friends know that I appreciate them all the while.
And to tell my mom and dad, "I love you."

What will you do...

What will you do, if you have THREE months left of your life?

Oooh... that's a tough one. My Sunday School teacher shot us with this question last few weeks.

Let's see, wanna travel the whole world, well at least to visit Beijing again (eheh, [Gong Ti Bei] hehe...never really walked that place), and tour some historical European countries like Greece, Italy, bla bla bla... and to Disneyland (no, not the one in Hong Kong, that's too crowded). Oh, and Taiwan, where I wanna meet my pop idols...akakakaka...I wanna meet F4, Yee chung, JJ, Jolin, David T., bla bla bla... And on to Ireland and england to see Westlife, then to US to meet BSB...



No. Stop. Hold on. I need to think this over...

Strange world

This is a strange world.

While some people are trying their best to help other people fight for their lives against the most deadly diseases in many parts of the world, In some other parts of the earth, some people are trying to destroy some other people's lives.

While some children would throw away their best toys, some others are striving hard to get food and shelter.

This, is an IMBALANCED world.

It's such a grief to look at the world. So much terror, so much horror. Nature disaster, human disaster. so much grief, so much pain, so much disappointment.

The world is lack of equanimity. I guess it always is. The best we can do is for the more fortunate more to help the unfortunate ones, including humans, animals and nature. Giving donations, and voluntary help can help ease them a lot, moreover u can generate karma.

If you know karma (fruit of your actions), you will know that it is like an account book which you will carry forward to your next life. So why not, when you have the ability, do good deeds where you help others as well as gain yourself more karma?

One of my aspiration is to join a welfare group and help the less fortunate society. I can't change the world, but at least, I hope I can make changes in the lives of these people.

By the way, we who are sitting here comfortably should really be thankful and appreciate that our area and country are more peaceful as compared to some countries.
Fellow friends, it's time we appreciate the independence of our country. =)

My life...miserable

Sometimes I really do wonder, what's the purpose of my life? What can I do in my life? What is waiting for me in the future?

I often wonder, especially when I'm down. As I am right now.

What is life, for a teenager? Is it about studies? That we have to study hard in order to achieve our goals in future?

Okay, that sounds like it, my life. If it is the aim, I am 50 percent achieving. You might call me nerd, I feel like I am, though I hate the idea of it. And yes, I still need a lot more hard work.

But I feel that it is still lack of some colors. I feel that I have never done anything special in my life before. Except that I've been overseas before.

10 years ago, I was in China. I had dreamed of joining a camp. But then, I couldn't. International school it is, but it is only half of ISB. (I really hate the badminton court!!) Camping in a forest sounds fun to me. I loved the idea of group work, and the physical activities in the wild. I have always wanted to experience a campfire, barbequeing and singing round a campfire sounds very very fun!

10 years later, I still haven't had a taste of it before. Though I had been to a Family Day held in a forest reserve, it wasn't an overnight activity.

And moreover, yet sadly, I find myself afraid of more and more stuff, especially insects. And I hate mosquitoes (ya right, I am a great 'attraction' to these blood-suckers!). So how am I to survive in a camp?

Lately (last weekend), there was an outing organised by my Sunday School, to Port Dickson. I planned to go, my dad encouraged me, but it was in vain, as my mom disalloed me because it was on the 7th month. Actually, I am quite afraid coming to think of it, fortunately my mom 'stopped' me, but I am still very sad not being able to join the outing... and missing out the fun which I have always been waiting for--FLYING FOX!!!

Despite leading the Tennis Club for two whole years, I haven't or seldom really and trully enjoyed myself in co-curriculum activities. For one thing, my club wasn't nice to lead at all, and believe me, it was a 'disasterous' club, no discipline at all, despite my effort to revive it! (Hey, I did my best, man!) Even more unfortunately, my sister is taking over the post, AND it is STILL the same. (But at least now there are some pre-talents in the club, from my observation.)

Thank goodness I had ELS. Though the members are quite limited, I enjoyed more over there. I can see group work there (whereas in my club, I had to do almost everything). I can communicate better, as the memebrs are more discipline and respectful towards the committee members. Cheers to ELS!

I've never, and I guess I will never have the chance to experience the exciting orientation which my Form-6-friends had, as well as that of local university.

You see, it seems like I have only these few things to tell you, you can see my 'limited' life. I seldom get to see and hang out with my friends, and I've almost never been to any parties.

Even more miserable, is that I can't even do my duties well. Housework, that is. As my elder sister ain't staying at home, I had to take over the housework chores, thankfully with the help of my younger sister. Maybe it's the lack of interest that often pull me down, despite my effort to do it well. I really mean to help, but I'm just so absent-minded, I wonder where I left my brain =(... Anyway, I still believe I can survive if I were to live alone!

I trully hope I can add colors to my life. So, right now, I am painting with...music! Well, still in the process of turning the 'noise' to 'sound', and hopefully soon, changing 'sound' to 'music. Haha... Life becomes brighter when I have my guitar around (though my family members will pull their faces... you know, 'noise'). The guitar classes does me a lot well, after teo years of hanging and being stuck in the easiest two chords, I finally have some process. *YIPPEE!* And I do enjoy going for classes (though my performance ain't good...). =)

another aspiration is, to do social work. I wish a lot to join a welfare group, where I can reach out to the less fortunate society, and help save the earth. Hopefully in some time from now, when I have the ability (materialistically), I will be on this path.

In some ways, I am actually more lucky than some of my friends. At least I have the chance to watch some concerts and attend some music events.

Well, people must observe and appreciate their lives, and the people around them, only then do they not miss out the most wonderful things.
Look around, you will find that, life ain't so miserable after all.
May you be well and happy.



P/S: I begin this post with a heavy heart. Upon finishing it, I feel a bit better. I don't know what's waiting for me tomorrow, but let's look back at today, see what we've gained in this 24 hours, and aspire to do the better for tomorrow.
In the end, the title of this post can consider be changed to "My life...miserable...NOT"!
I appreciate the people around me.
And, I appreciate your patience in reading my post. May you be well and happy.
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu!

Summer 8 Degrees Concert 2006!

The long-waited Concert of the year!!!

This year's was far more better than last year's! It was on August 12, 2006... exam time, but I still made out some time for it! Haha! The best thing is, there are so much more great artists from Taiwan, besides the talentful local singers!

Among my favourites are Lim Yee Chung (of course!), JJ Lin, Gary Chaw, Nicholas Teo, Energy, Rainie Yang, Daniel Lee, and John.

Yee Chung was the second to perform. He sang [Gong Ti Bei] and [Kao An]. I enjoyed his performance a lot, it was great to see him again. And hey, looks like he is getting more 'sexy'! Well, these days we often see him in tight shirts! Ahahaha!!
Well, even though, whether is my problem, I find that his singing wasn't as good. Was he sick, or was it the speaker's problem? He seemed to be having a hard time controlling his voice. Anyway, hope he gets well soon (if he was really sick).

Energy's moves really got us high! Though I felt that it wasn't as energetic as the performances I've seen before, but they were really great! Rap, ballad, dances... All are done almost perfectly.

Ooh.. and JJ Lin! I am suddenly so crazy of him! Haha! Ever since his concert, I've been enjoying his songs and album even more. I really do admire his talent. Seeing him again was so much fun! Miss his cheeky face...haha!

One special performer was the artist from Korea, Jang Na Ra!!! She was such a sweet girl, and she can actually speak Chinese quite fluently! She can dance and sing and act in dramas and movies! Wow... That's sure an established celebrity!

Despite all these, I'm quite disappointed about one thing. That the Taiwanese group 5566, was the last performer (that means most important?!). It is a fact that they have the most fans over there, but indeed, their performance wasn't nice at all, to me, the standard is even lower than the new singers like Superstar Finalists. It seemed to 'spoil it all'. But then, majority wins. We (or I) can do nothing about it.

Throw away all the blunt stuff, it was a perfect night! (Okay, nothing is perfect, I know). I'm looking forward to next year's concert. Wondering where it will be, and most importantly, WHO will be invited!!

Yey! Helo Holidays!

Whew! The final examination is finally over.

It was not too tough, for half the subjects. For Algebra & Trigonometry, my most confident subject, was quite a surprise to me when I found some questions which I have never seen before, and the lecturer never taught before. To maintain standard, they say.

Physics, the most worrying one. And I AM still worried. I have to, and hopefully, I pass the required mark.

And now--HOLIDAYS! Yeah yeah! I started my holidays since Wednesday, having a time of my life (well, not really.). Anyway, I still gotta clear the huge stack of newspaper there, which is definitely driving me crazy. And later, though should be starting already, I have to be a PART-TIME NON-SALARY TUTOR for my beloved sister, as she's gonna sit for a government examination soon.

Whew! Seems like a lot to do in this period of less than two weeks. I guess I have to put aside quite a lot of things which I have planned to do. Hmm.. I haven't really read my first 'cook-book'--actually, I bought it because of the author--Ken Chu. Aha! Now you know me!

Still hope to meet up with my secondary school friends. Hopefully there's something fresh coming up.

YES!! Mission Acomplished!

Finally I watched the movie. I mean 2 weeks ago.

On July 30, SW and I went to Times Square for my favourite and long-waited movie. I really have to thank her for accompanying me and rushing over there despite the rain. THANK YOU!! MUAXXX!!!

The movie was, of course, very good! The hilarity started from the beginning and throughout the show. Though there was a no-ending (well, there's gonna be part 3..!), it was a truly enjoyable one. I wonder how Jack is gonna and defend and escape...

It was a pity that L Eng couldn't join us. Nevermind dear, hopefully we can meet and watch Part 3... successfully!

Can't wait for PART 3!!!

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Captain Jack Sparrow is caught up in another tangled web of supernatural intrigue. Although the curse of the Black Pearl has been lifted, an even more terrifying threat looms over its captain and scurvy crew: it turns out that Jack owes a blood debt to the legendary Davy Jones, Ruler of the Ocean Depths, who captains the ghostly Flying Dutchman, which no other ship can match in speed and stealth. Unless the ever-crafty Jack figures a cunning way out of this Faustian pact, he will be cursed to an afterlife of eternal servitude and damnation in the service of Jones. This startling development interrupts the wedding plans of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, who once again find themselves thrust into Jack's misadventures, leading to escalating confrontations with sea monsters, very unfriendly islanders, flamboyant soothsayer Tia Dalma and even the mysterious appearance of Will's long-lost father, Bootstrap Bill. Meanwhile, ruthless pirate hunter Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company sets his sights on retrieving the fabled "Dead Man's Chest." According to legend, whoever possesses the Dead Man's Chest gains control of Davy Jones, and Beckett intends to use this awesome power to destroy every last Pirate of the Caribbean once and for all. For times are changing on the high seas, with businessmen and bureaucrats becoming the true pirates--and freewheeling, fun-loving buccaneers like Jack and his crew threatened with extinction.

What is up with me??!

Somehow, I don't seem to have much luck these few weeks.
Two weeks ago, I sprained my left foot.

Today, i hurt my right foot!

Oh gosh... This happened when I was having my nap in the afternoon. I don't know how or why I woke up in between, maybe because of the mosquito which was happily feeding on me.

I too have no idea why I wanted to stand up that time, with my cramped leg. when I wanted to stand up, I hit my foot too hard, and it hurt!! OOOHH!!

And because of the mosquito, I could't sleep much later on. Damn the mosquito!

So I am back to my "penguin-walking" days again. Really really hope that it will get well soon.

Condolences

My greatest Condolences to Ken Chu and his family.

Ken's father, Chu Yue Ming, passed away on July 11, 2006, because of liver cancer (as I have heard).

Ken was in deep grief. Despite this, he continued his work in Xinjiang, China, where he was filming a drama, <>.

He wasn't able to go back to Taiwan so soon, as his absence would affect to filming of the drama. He will return for the Funeral at the end of the month.

Condolences to the Chu family.

Siti's marriage

A few years ago I've been wondering why Siti Nurhaliza was staying single despite her great looks and talent.

Now I hav e an answer. So, she's engaged to Dato' K, huh? Rumors have been spreading for some time, and they've finally confronted the press and the country about their relationship.

Sometimes I wonder, why do famous artists often get 'hooked up' with businessman? Is it really love, or other things like money and status, too contribute to this?

Well, though it's many females' dream to get married to a rich man, I'm not so sure if this is the same for Siti, whom I believe, has a fortune herself, being one of the most popular singers in this country. And there were stories...

Anyway, I still wish all the best to the couple. Congrates!

Ohh.. Me

You Are Uptown

You are classy, cultured, and well educated. You are an expert on the finer things in live.
Your city girl persona loves all of the opportunities a city offers. But only in the best neighborhoods.

Aha... my dream guy?

He's a Keeper!

Your guy is a rare find: sweet, kind, and loyal.
And as long as he doesn't have three nipples,
You should seriously consider keeping him a long time

Sometimes a girl can't see a good thing when she's got one
So let me tell you: your guy is a gold medal boyfriend
Just make sure you treat him right in return!

If this is reality, it ain't bad after all... hehe!

Sprained my ankle!!!

I really hope this would never happen to me. But it did, today.

I was happily and excitingly playing basketball with my high school friends at High school today, when this unfortunate accident happened.

It wasn't even 1 hour of playing, when once I passed over the ball to a teammate while running.

Suddenly my foot twisted! The immense pain shot up from my foot to my ankle then my whole leg. I couldn't stand it and so had to sit on the floor for a minute. I felt my foot burning like hell! Arghhhh!!!

I managed to get off the court to rest at a bench. did a little massaging to my foot, and found out that it was most painful on the left part. Maybe I had 'pulled' (hopefully not torn) my muscle there.

I thought I would observe for a while to see if I'll be okay in some time. But when I got up and walked for a few steps, the pain came again. In the end, I had to go to the PBSM room for some treatment.

SW helped me to massage my foot (she used to be one from PBSM). I want to thank her a lot, for me. Thanks to her as well as L Eng for giving me a hand (or two). I don't know how I should do without them around..hehe...

I didn't go to seek treatment at "Tie Da" as my dad said it was only muscle sprain, no 'bone-moving' after his checking. He did help me massage with the "Tie da" oil, which was so so painful! when I move around or walk, I have to slant my foot, only using the right part, and still, everything was painful.

I'm quite worried about the next few days. I wonder if I can climb up the 5 flight of stairs at sunday school tomorrow. I can't really skip class on Monday, as my schedule is packed for Mondays. Oh dear, now I realise the huge importance of my foot!I really do hope everything gets well by tomorrow.

Just JJ

Woohoo! So exciting!

Last Friday, we finally got to know that we have tickets to JJ Lin's concert! It was at Genting Arena of Stars, on July 1 2006 at 8pm. It was cousin Heck who gave us a lift up there. Thousands of thanks to him! he brought along a female fren cum housemate of his, while my sis Jin brought her fren along. 6 all together. Quite a hard time squeezing in the car!

We have 4 seating tics and 2 free standing tics. My elder sis and I 'volunteered' to stand...heehee... We were standing quite far from the front rail, somewhere to the left of the stage. The view was not so satisfying.

The concert was so cool.. so hot! (huh? ...) In the beginning, the dancers came out to stage before the show started to give us a warm-up. They taught us some dance steps for a song [Jiu Shi Wo]. It was so so cool! SO glad that I know how to dance some steps (move actually...)
*And as a bonus, we saw a really cute dancer. He was standing on our side during the warm-up, but later during the concert we see less of him. anyway, he's really handsome, I guess he caught quite some attention from the audience, and I guess he was the one whom JJ said looked like Rain!*

To say the truth, I was there 'mainly' to see Yee Chung, who was the guest artist. I was afraid I would feel bored. But I was wrong. It was all high throughout the night. His dance moves were just more than impressing, showing his multi-talent on stage.

During the time of duet with another guest artist, Jin sha (Kim), JJ played the keyboard. On the huge screen, the camera was shooting him close-up, it was one of my favourite scene. TThe way he was singing and playing the keyboard at the same time. I really do admire talented guys!

when Yee Chung came out, I was so excited! Of course! JJ and YC had a chat, with JJ congratulating YC on his achievement. They had a 'PK' competition (which wasn't quite a comepetition), where YC played JJ's well-known songs with guitar, while JJ will sing YC's songs over his keyboard. They sang the songs [Zai Jian], [Jiang Nan], [Shi Lian Xue], [Shou Neng Sheng Qiao], and dueted a song which YC wrote the lyrics for JJ, [Liu Xing Zhu Jiao]. This was my favourite part of the show (other than YC's performance ;D), I was so much amazed and admire YC's guitar skills as well as JJ's on the keyboard. Great job boys!

Later Yee Chung presented [Kao An] and [Gong Ti Bei]. He was such a marvelous guy, even being very tired from his drama shooting, he still gave his best in this show. So sweet that he kept suppoting JJ!

*It was so cute when YC realised that his 'name' was in JJ's [Jiang Nan], he gestured to himself, and changed the lyrics of the last line to [zhu JJ cheng gong] (wish for JJ's success)! He was so supportive of JJ , and even changed his song's lyrics to [yi jian dao Lin Jun Jie] (seeing JJ lin) in his song [Gong Ti Bei]! and while singing [Kao An], some of the audience put up their unbrellas! SO ggod that they support YC!*

By the third quarter of the concert, I felt sleepy. I didn't quite have to energy to cheer , but just kept on enjoying the show. It was fortunate that JJ often came to our side of the stage, it was fun seeing a superstar close-up!

By the time the concert ended, I was feeling immense pain in my legs. But even though, I still tried to stay around to catch a glimpse of the cute dancer (but I failed to). we even thought of going to the hotel to try to catch up with JJ or Yee Chung. But we didn't anyway, didn't want to cause trouble for our cousin.

And so, that was the concert. I really did enjoy it, I miss it a lot, both JJ and Yee Chung. That leaves an amazing memory in my life. ALL da best, JJ!

Hmm...

Yesterday...

As usual I was going to the campus using LRT. When I came out of the Putra LRT station heading to for that of Start LRT, as I was walking (or rather rushing?!) down the staircase, I noticed a person walking up. I was wndering whether it was a male or a female. Well, I concluded that it was a guy. What caught my attention was, his face is quite smooth and fair. And not too long hair. With a bagpack and earphones.

"Wait a minute."

As I revised his appearance in mind, I thought, "Hey, that looks familiar... Daniel??!"

Yes, I meant Daniel Lee. Some of u might know that Daniel is quite a 'pretty boy'. And that guy, the shape of his face, his eyes (when he 'scanned' at me for a second), his appearance (dressing... cool), and his... height. Ohh, was it really Daniel?

I thought I would go back there to have a second peep. But no, I couldn't. I had to catch the LRT.

But reasoning out, I guess that couldn't be him, because he is a celebrity now, why take to LRT? And at this time of the morning (peak time)?

Yeah... and so, I concluded it was not him. Haha... Girls... really know how to dream.. even day-dream! But then, it was fun, added colour to my routine life.

Moreover, that was a 'pretty boy' too. Not so bad after all!

金曲最佳新人‧返馬辦慶功宴 林宇中直奔《原點》趕戲

updated:2006-06-11 17:53:43 MYT

吉隆坡訊)林宇中摘下金曲獎最佳新人獎,除了感謝師兄林俊傑(JJ)從上海來電為他打氣,也表示師姐陶子(陶晶瑩)的Baby“小荳荳”是他的“幸運星”。

近日來趕拍連續劇《原點》的林宇中,特地向劇組告假到台灣出席金曲獎盛會,得獎翌日就飛回大馬趕戲,不但在飛機上猛刨劇本,一下機還得趕赴拍戲現場,根本沒有時間休息。他乘坐的CX723班機於12時12分飛抵大馬,他卻遲至1時15分才出閘,並開心站著接受前來接機的大馬媒體訪問。


心情激動沒哭

林宇中表示他一整晚都沒睡,在慶功宴上,老板們比他更開心,大家都喝掛了,而他由於要接受媒體訪問,所以沒喝太多。他表示,宣佈的那一刻,大會安排所有新人坐在一起,但攝影機並沒對準他,所以他一度以為自己不會得獎。“我在得獎時,心情很激動緊張,但我並沒哭,因為我不是輕易掉淚的人。得獎以後,我第一通電話就打給家人,向他們報喜。”

除了感謝工作人員及一直支持他的大馬媒體,他也感謝在開獎前,為上海演唱會費心卻不忘越洋為他打氣的JJ。“陶子姐也一直鼓勵我,我在頒獎禮前有到她家探望她的Baby,我覺得‘小荳荳’也是我的幸運星。”

至於他可會在大馬開慶功宴?“會,但應該要遲點才行。”他一接受完訪問就得趕赴《原點》拍攝現場繼續趕戲。這果然是紅的代價! (星洲日報/娛樂‧2006/06/11)

FIFA World Cup Germany 2006

Ooooohh! The World Cup is here! and the world goes into the football frenzy-- or rather CRAZE again!

Not many would believe I would be following this kinda trend. well, it seems not as exciting as watching the Thomas Cup (badminton), but it is still a kind of entertainment for me though.

My first match (watching, of course), was Germany against Costa Rica. Germany team had a good start, scoring the first goal in the 6th minute. The match result was 4-2, with Germany in victory. It was quite enjoyable watching, because Germany was my team... haha... although I fell asleep even before half time (forgive me... I was tired... school day.. man).

Today I watched a delayed live of enhland (also my team) versus Paraguay. I was a little surprised at England team's performance... not too good. They won in the end at 1-0, but because of Own Goal 'contributed' by a Paraguay player.

Hope to be able to catch more of the matches.
