You Know You Are Loved

You Know You Are Loved...

************************

#1) When you receive an sms from a dear of friend from years ago telling you this:

When life gives u a thousand reasons to cry, show that u have thousand reasons to smile. Keep smiling and enjoy life no matter how hard it may seem.

Isn't that sweet? :) I was feeling so disheartened that day with my going-no-where studying and just felt like giving up when I received this. The odd thing is... we hardly sms each other. Normally, we just talk on MSN (when it so happens that we are both online! hehe.. cos we're always "away" anyway... okok.. I'm the one who's always "away".. *shy*... hehe). And I don't think she knows that I was going through rough times in Uni...

But really... Hannah, if you're reading this... thank you so much! *hugs* It really means a lot to me :)

************************

#2) When your best buddy in the whole world messages you at approximately 5:3opm on the 25th of April (slightly more than an hour after my last but one paper) to 'remind' you that you have only one more paper left before you officially claim freedom from Uni life.

Isn't that sweet? :D Then she messaged me again an hour after my final paper today to celebrate my freedom with me!! She actually remembered my time table!! *hugs* thank you so so much Melissa dear... Can't wait to see you when I get back to Pg.. will call you okies? ;)

************************

#3) Your 'bestest' buddy *ahems* celebrates your freedom with you although some shithead just stole his PDA and wallet

let me rephrase that... his nice green Rm500 Gucci wallet. So sorry to hear about that Zeeks... I really am (not sarcastic ok!) but look on the bright side, you're going to Paris next week so you can enjoy yourself and try to forgot about the whole incident.

Some people spend their lives stealing from others, whether it's something expensive like your wallet and PDA or something as insignificant as my Estee Lauder lip gloss and my Clinique lipstick (they are not cheap but it's odd because since it's MY lip gloss and all, why would anyone be disgusting enough to want to use it?! they wouldn't know what kinda diseases I might have right?! sheesh... some ppl are plain gross...)

Anyways, fret not... what goes around comes around... Hope these people trip and fall face first into a pile of shit and they will never be able to wash the stench from their already stinking bodies *bleargh*

So... have fun, enjoy your trip and most of all... REMEMBER MY SOUVENIR!! (remember what I said about you getting me only a Eiffle Tower key chain!! :p) Take care *hugs*

Thank you guys so much :D

A Walk To Remember

Love is like the wind. It cannot be seen. It can only be felt.

In a lovey-dovey melancholy mood today =p tv3 aired "A Walk To Remember" at 10pm just now. It felt so good watching it again. It's very slow moving but it's touches the chords of your soul. I cried the first time I watched it. One thing though, you gotta pay attention to the dialogue or you'll miss out on a lot of gut-wrenching stuff!

I remember prior to my final exam (btw, I'm STILL in the middle of my final exam now), I used to go to the uni's library and sit in the corner (yeah, on the floor) where no one would see me, or bother me, while I read the book of the same title. Nicholas Sparks' "A Walk To Remember". I thought the book was better than the movie because the words explicitly explained the emotions and the thoughts of each person. A slow read, but a good one, nevertheless! :D

And now I'm just waiting for "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" to come on so that I can laugh my heart out and then go to bed ;)

Missing Stuff

SHIT LAR!!!

Someone stole my bag!!! A little bag inside my clutch that contains some name cards (job opportunities *ahem ahem*), 3 sticks of lip gloss (one which costs a bloody RM80++) and some other miscellaneous stuff. I hope whoever it is develops a frigging lip infection and suffer for more than a month!! (I can't get over the loss of my lip gloss and the little suede bad because the bag came with the purchase of another bag)

Mind you... this happened when I was sitting for my DSS exam paper in uni. When we go into the exam hall for the paper, we have to leave our bags outside. Damn it lar..

Some people are so bloody lame.. Did I tell you about the time some idiot who stole my drinking bottle?! A PUNY BLUE CLUTTERED WITH POOH STICKERS DRINKING BOTTLE!!! How fucking lame is that!? I was in the Internet lab and when I came out, my bottle was missing *scream* that bottle doesn't even cost more than RM20, why would anyone wanna steal it?! It's a gift from a friend and I hope whoever took chokes and every mouthful of drink he/she takes for a year!

Friggin kleptomaniacs. There's a special place in hell reserved for them! I don't understand why these people are in uni! What does the uni teach them? What do they major in anyway? "Rummage Other's Bags Methods"? "Techniques for stealing cheap plastic bottles"?

Procrastination. The root of my being. Damn!

My first paper's on Tuesday (18/04) followed by another one on Thursday (20/04). Third paper's on the following Tuesday (25/04) and the final one is on Thursday (27/04).

3 more days and I haven't read anything! Zilch! Nada!!

I am so digging my own grave.

(What the hell am I doing? Blogging when I should be slaving away at the books? I dunno.. Been asking myself that too.. *sigh*)

What's worse, I spent the ENTIRE week reading... yups.. insightful books by Sophie Kinsella. One you start, you can't stop. I read "Can You Keep A Secret?" first, followed by the ENTIRE shopaholic series ("Confessions of a Shopaholic", "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan", "Shopaholic Ties The Knot" and "Shopaholic and Sister"). I tell you, I can sooooooo relate to the 'heroine' Becky Bloomwood! hahaha..

Oh, and I also finished reading Stephen King's "Dolores Chaiborne". Thank God I have no more new books or else I am so so screwed...

This is incurable... Somebody please shoot me before I self destruct.

=*a loaded gun complex, cock it and pull it*=

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

Hair Today Gone Tomorrow...

I finally, finally cut my hair...

A whopping 5 inches chopped off! Just like that! *snaps fingers* (okies.. maybe more than 5 inches). I used to have hair that touches my belt (on occassions when I wore belts) and now... it's barely a over my shoulders (if I tip my head to the side)...

my long and erm.. (lustrous? no.. beautiful?? no... ermm.. Just LONG ok!) long hair..

GONE!! ALL GONE!!!

*yawn*

I thought I would be traumatized with my hair cut, but frankly, I still don't feel no nothing yet! hmmm... All started when I went to Dry Cut yesterday with Chin Aun. Just wanted to go for the periodic trim since it's only RM9.90, so what the heck... Mana tahu... yesterday, the person who did my hair informed me that it is now RM20 for females and RM15 for males regardless of whether you want them to wash your hair or not!

See? It's waaaaaaaaaaaay shorter now..

What could I do except nod my head and let him continue snipping away? Then I thought, oh well, since I am paying RM20 anyway, might as well give him extra work right? *grins* It was then that I told him I've decided not to only trim my hair, just cut it shorter so that I can re-dye it in a couple of months. And would you believe it... he actually SHRIEKED! hahaha... and stomped his foot *ahems* I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing!! Then he complained that I should have told him earlier and how he had to 'plan' all over again! (huh? *scratch head*) Oh well..

Ok... Maybe I did it on purpose! :p

I know some of you will say that it's not much of a difference.. but for someone who's been lugging her hair around for the past year, it's a big difference ok!! *hmmph* I actually thought about going for a real SHORT cut.. but I figured I'd rather not suffer from a heart attack just yet...

Hmm... should have take a shot from the back... more obvious... When I tie up my hair, it's really obvious. I used to have a "horse's tail" and now... maybe gotta settle for "dog's tail" lah.. not "pony-tail" anymore..

I'm blabbering.. It's late.. Time for bed already.. so you must excuse me...

Anyways... My new hair feels weird, but still mine nevertheless..

.

See?? When I tilt my head, it passes my shoulders only by a couple of inches

Light In Your Eyes

There's a light in my eyes
It's too bright to see
And a pain in my heart
Where you used to be
Guess I was wrong to assume
That you were waiting here for me
There's a Light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me?

[Blessid Union of Souls - Light In Your Eyes]

I suddenly remember this, so I'm posting it up. Hope you see it!
Remember this song? *grins*
Remember OUR version of it? *bigger grin*
I miss you so friggin much...
*hugs*
See you when I get back ok?
(I just realized that I don't even need to address you cos you know who you are *winks*) hee hee...

No explanation required :)

Bumbu Bali :D

I've decided to dedicate this entire post to the meal that Zeeks treated me and Chin Aun to at Bumbu Bali :D Zeeks, if you are reading this, you should be pleased, yes? *grins* and... since you were on your 'best' behaviour all night (most of the time anyway! and I didn't manage to catch you on camera doing odd stuff) there won't be any funny pics of you here ;) hee hee... and I shall describe you in the most colorful terms!! (I meant colorful in a GOOD way! don't worry!!)

On Friday, Zeeks came over to pick me and Chin Aun up and took us to Bumbu Bali (some eating place) in Puchong! *yeah* Took us around 30mins plus to get there cos of the traffic and it was quite a distance away from where we are staying. To give him credit, he came straight from work ;) so that kinda shows some sincerity *ahems* hehehe... (kidding, Zeeks!)

This is the front view of the place:

It's kinda blur cos it was taken with my phone... If only I'd brought my trusty old camera *smack forehead*

The place looked really nice! Nice decor! hehe... pretty authentic Bali looking! But I heard from Zeeks that the owner is a Korean... so, go figure!

The following photos are of the interior of the place. We wanted to get seats upstairs but it was full already and the only available seats were downstairs, so we had to settle for that. We actually had to wait for a table cos it was packed! *whoa*

Photos of Chin Aun and Zeeks...

Left: That Chin Aun giving me another funny face when I asked him to smile at the camera *hmmph* Said he was too hungry to smile!

Right: Mr. Vain-Pot won't be too hungry to smile! hee hee...

Some photos of our FOOD!! *yeah* the food is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good! But it was kinda pricey though. Around the same price range as places like Chilis and Friday's, but smaller portions.

Mine - I ordered and grilled lamb and beef combo :D yummilicious!! okok... so I'm a red meat lover ;)

Chin Aun's order - Grilled Chicken with Squid. Mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and coleslaw on the side (same as mine!) here's a white meat lover ;)

Zeeks' Order - Half Chicken (I think it's a 'kampung' chicken cos it's too puny) with yellow rice (whazzat??) with different sauces... he's going oriental with the rice :p

Bumbu Bali's Version of TRIPLE PLAY! :D Zeeks ordered this for us to share. It's 4 sticked of 'sate' (mashed chicken meat on vege sticks), fried sotong and grilled chicken wings. My fav = the SATE! and the garlic-chili sauce *yums*

I made them wait... TOLD THEM NOT TO DIG IN YET...so that I can take the photos. And in the course of doing that, I was made hugely UNPOPULAR. I was insulted and harrased *hmmph* and Zeeks decided to DIG IN ANYWAY and went straight for the fried sotong! and I caught him on camera! hahaha.. I managed to smack Chin Aun's hand before he got to the sotong! Hmm.. both of them aimed for the sotong first... must be the portion size.. easy to stuff into mouth! haha...

Zeeks hand in front of mouth = After stuffing the sotong in!! Cis!

(note: because I promised not to do or say anything bad about him... the pic of him stuffing food in his mouth is of a smaller size :p) hee hee...

They're TOASTING TO ME!! Muahahahaha...

Some photos that were taken after the meal:

Three of us posing for the camera...

That's me and Chin Aun looking stuffed! I look kinda doinky with my hair out of place...

Proof of Payment: Zeeks paying for the meal *grins* (THANK U THANK U!)

The following photos were taken upstairs :) We went upstairs to have a look around after eating...

Left: Me and Chin Aun while Zeeks went off to answer nature's call

Right: Chin Aun and Zeeks posing with a little fountain and the picture of Buddha(?) in the background (the whole place had all these deco up and they are all for sale!)

Final photo of the day :) Zeeks kept inching behind to make my face and Chin Aun's face bigger! Teruk case...

Basically, it was good food with great company :D hehe.. Thanks so much Zeeks, for taking us there, and for the lovely treat. *hugs* Thanks for telling me about this place when you went there the first time (which was a couple of weeks back) and for being nice enough to want to take me and Chin Aun there to check it out (hmm... nice? *grins* don't normally see this word in the same sentence that describes you eh? hee hee) Looking forward to the next one! *hint hint* Tokyo Sushi? hee hee.. (kidding kidding!!) Hope we can do it again some time soon... But gotta look for something for affordable this time! ;)

oklar.. won't make you pay ok?! hee hee... maybe we can go for steamboat? ;)

Hope this post did you and Bumbu Bali justice...

Little Fangs

I was just looking thru the photos I have on my comp and getting ready for bed when I noticed something odd in my photos...
.....
.....
I HAVE FANGS!!!

*whoa*
.....
.....

so at the ungodly hour of 2:10am on a Friday morning, I took out my phone and took the following photos:

little left fang and little right fang...
The one on the left is more pointed while the one on the right is less prominent (it hardly shows in photos)

I know what's some of you are thinking... you're thinking "Those are not fangs!! Those are a sorry excuses of very-crooked-and-tiny-but-somewhat-sharp-little-teeth"...

Hmmph...

*Stomp my foot*

I BEG TO DIFFER!!

They may be tiny and yellowed with caffeine stains (yups! not nicotine stains cos I'm proudly a NON-SMOKER!!! *blek* I think I love myself too much to want to smoke...)... but they are nevertheless SHARP!! and heck... I BITE... I like to bite... No.. actually, I LOVE TO BITE... anyone who knows me knows I like to bite (I just don't draw blood, that's all *shrugs*)

Besides, if you have a tiny little toe, how would you feel if someone told you this : "Your toe is so puny, it doesn't have the dignity of a toe! you should just call it a thingamajig!" Wouldn't you be downright insulted too?!?!
*blek* see my point??
I admit that they are kinda tiny... hmmm... but ALL my teeth are tiny :p

now... she has pretty long fangs! :D I wouldn't mind having such long-and-difficult-to-hide-fangs if I looked like her *ahems*

aesthetics aside...
here are some photos I found on my comp with my tiny-little-fang showing...

a little digression...

hmmm... not only do I have a set of undignified fangs, but I have a pretty bad case of rabbit teeth too! What can I say? I have a very sorry set of tooth! :p
Let's get back to the topic at hand...
More pics of my little teeth *grins*

I am very envious of the fact that ChinAun has the perfect set of teeth. They're so darned straight!! I was certain that he wore braces once but he denied it! I double checked with his mom... She said it's natural *hmmph* (sudah rasa tak syok!) and he has dimples!!! *arrrrghhh*!!! Why can't I be the one with perfect little pearly whites and dimples?!?! WHYWHYWHYWHY?!?!?! to make things even worse... his stupid teeth doesn't stain! how's that for unfair?!

sooooo.... vindictive little me is gonna post some of his silly faces here to make up for the fact that he has perfect teeth and dimples while I don't! *blek*
So there!!

*grins*
I really like my teeth... I'm so proud of them!~ I think I got it from my mom! She has pretty pointed teeth too!~

ok... fangs or no fangs... I really need to sleep now... *yawn* need to fetch his-royal-highness Perfect Stainless Teeth to work tomorrow cos I want to use the car... *groan*
toodles all!~

Post FYP Pics

Boey, Jiun, Kareen and I went for Japanese Lunch Buffet at Shogun on Thursday!! :D Says Chin Aun "My dear girl... It's after FYP due date... not after final exam ok? Don't play so much!!" Hmmh... Alright already! I think he's just being a wet blanket cos we left him out of the outing!! :p

Basically, I'm just too tired to write anything... Went to bed at 11pm and slept until 12:56pm today... SWEEEEEEET!!! Too bad I can't do that again cos it's already 1:21am now and I have to drop Chin Aun off to work at 7:45am tomorrow... dang it!!! Here are some pics instead... We look pretty stoned mainly cos we were too stuffed!

Actual Acknowledgement

I've completed my FYP!!! DONE!! FINITO!!! *hysterical laughter* ..... *ahem* *ahem*.... anyways... I'm just so glad that it is over! Phew! *wipe sweat from brow* goodness knows what my grade will be.. as long as get higher than B- then should be enough lar.. but then, if everyone prays hard enough and I, by some bizzare cosmic phenomenon, get an A or A-, I'm going to be generous and treat you all to some nice food :D hahaha...

Anyways, in my FYP report, I am required to write an "Acknowledgement" section whereby I'm suppose to declare my eternal gratitude to whoever helped me in the course of completing my project and this was what I wrote (right down to the exact full-stop):

*************************************

"I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to the following people who have guided me and have contributed, in their own ways, to the successful completion of my project.

Firstly, I would like express my sincerest appreciation to project supervisor, Miss Yeoh Kar Peng for her kind consideration of taking me under her wing and giving me the necessary guidance and advice in the successful completion of this project. I would also like to thank my initial project supervisor, Mr. Cheah Keat Ming for his help with the insight on my research topic.

Next, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Seah Chin Aun for his priceless support and guidance when I needed it the most. Also to Miss Melissa Lim and Mr. Ding Teng Yee for their guidance, support, invaluable information and insight as well as their effort in helping me to find out more in-depth information about my research topic and for distributing my questionnaires.

I would also like to thank my fellow classmates, Miss Ng Aun Boey, Miss See Chia Jiun, Miss Kareen Lee, Miss Wai Sue Leng, Mr. Ong Theng Soon, Mr. Lim Kai Feong and Mr. Ooi Jin Chun for their selfless sharing of information and exchange of opinions.

Lastly, I would like to thank my parents for every aspect of support and love that they have given to me that enbled me to successfully complete my project. "

*************************************

When in actual fact, what I would have written would be this (refer to the following text) but it wasn't high in professionalism, so I had to settle for less...

Adding to that, Chin Aun kept saying that my "acknowledgement" is not sincere and that his name should be in bold and etc etc... hehe...

*************************************

"I would like to express infinite gratitude and approbation to the following who have contributed, in their own ways, to the completion of my project:

Mr. Seah Chin Aun - firstly, in the sleepless nights when he helped me with my Business Analysis. On the side, thanks for cooking dinner when we had no time to go out to eat, for finding all the information and highlighting the important parts, for letting me vent my frustration on you (whether it was vocal or physical *hang head in shame*) for the promises of reward (oh shopping, oh sushi!) on the condition that I really out my heart into my work and finally... for the incessant nagging that actually worked!! *muuuaaaaaksies* love you to bits!

Ms. Melissa Lim - firstly for believing in me and for texting me on separate occassions to check on my progress and to encourage me *hugs* (you'll never know how much that means to me... ) and for being "on-call" to supply information and lastly, in helping me distribute the questionnaires :D gawd... thank you and I love you so much!!

Mr. Ding Teng Yee - for being the middle person between me and Mel when her credit ran dry.. and for helping with the questionnaires and for the supply of information! ;)

My Mom - for calling me non-stop and telling me that it's not a big deal if I don't do well. "It's just a a grade! Who cares about grades?!" you say... And that the most important thing is that I get enough sleep and not be bothered as long as I can hand it in on time and pass. Gawd!! Thanks so much for making me feel so good and never putting the pressure on me to perform *teary eyed* (hearing her say that makes me wanna cry!) I love my mommy!!!

My Dad - for sending me the weirdest messages, telling me the funniest things, at the oddest times to take my mind off the pending deadline!

My Mom, Dad & Aunt - for my baby, my satellite. Because I don't think I would have managed to get so much done without it! And I think it is the best reward even before I have completed my FYP! haha...

Ms. Ng Aun Boey, Ms. See Chia Jiun & Ms. Kareen Lee - for believing in me :D and for henpecking me to work on my report. And for transportation when I ddn't have the car.. *hugs*

Ms. Wai Sue Leng - for opening her house and heart to me... especially since my stupid internet connection has gone screwy...

Mr. Victor Ong, Mr. Lim Kai Feong & Mr. Ooi Jin Chun - for all the encouragement! and for all the crossed fingers as well as the non-stop reminders and nagging! Oh... and for the sharing of information... hee hee...

Mr. Khor Chin Hau - who expressed genuine concern at my lack of progress and actually offered me his final year project... "just-in-case" *winks*

Mr. Zeeks Mah - for giving me something to look forward to in his promise to take me and my bie to "BamBu Bali" (huh?! *scratch head*) *ahem* I'm ready to go!!! Zeeks!! Time to show yourself!!

Finally, to The Calling, Gwen Stefani, Jay Chou, Jason Mraz, The All-American Rejects, All Saints, Fall Out Boy, David Tao, Toni Braxton, James Blunt and the rest of the music industry for keeping me sane, especially in the middle of the night! Hahaha... Music Rocks! and will live on after we are all gone...

*************************************

I wonder what would happen if I handed in this version of my acknowledgement???
