New years eve

Am currently sitting in chocolate@curve updating my blog because it's just too boring -.-

I've came to realize something
1) I don't really enjoy countdown as there are just toooooooooooo many people. I mean I love the fireworks and all, but I don't like crowded places like this :/ and all those aerosol cans... Make u sick @.@

2) new year could really bring unity among people. It's like a club in the streets. Lol people jumping, having fun listening to music regardless of religion and race woah... Amazing. Wish I could be like them, so hip and happening but unfortunately, not my thing...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 MY DEAR FRIENDS :D

Phew!

3 days of consecutive events are finally over, not that I dread it, but it was indeed quite tiring. Nevertheless, I had an awesome time =D I've never spent christmas like this year before in my life. My friends took away my firsts lol

23rd
On the 23rd, we had a dinner at our house and my mom invited my uncle and his family over to eat. Fulamak, too much food all cannot finish. We didn't eat Tang Yuan because the winter solstice was on 22nd and my mom said " eating Tang Yuan after winter solstice has no meaning" =.= zha dou, but i ate my share on the 22nd la, so not bad hahahaha in fact the Tang Yuan was free! Given complimentary by an ex-school mate who has a stall in the morning market ;) lucky me

24th- Ariel's failed surprise birthday party
This one quite fail la...but it seems everything I organize sure fail wan, somehow...
1 Utama was like SUPER jam, and there wasn't any parking.Unlike my friends who have to wait and go rounds for 40 minutes to find parking, lucky me again, didn't have to wait long for my parking, an aunty showed me to her car and gave me her parking space hahahaha she even tabik a few times, nice aunty la, God bless her.

I actually reached there at 12.15 ( 1.00pm was the proposed surprise) and i bought an awesome cake of dark chocolate with scotch whiskey with me to BBQ chicken ;) I reserved the place and put the cake into the fridge. Only Jia Wen was on time as the rest was stuck in the jam in the parking. So anyway though i have arrived, i lied to Ariel saying it was very "jam" and needed time hahahaha so she bought the story and we manage to delay til 1.20 when everyone arrived.

Apparently she knew there was a "party" as Ellen ( thank you very much -.-) sms-ed Ariel " see you tomorrow" the night b4. so yea not so surprise anymore, but i really appreciate everyone for coming as everybody else is on vacation, so for the people who came, thank you veli much! as without you guys, my event sure fail again, seriously thank you for not ffk-ing me.

25th
Christmas day!! Went to church to take care of the kids for the first time after 1 month as i have taken leave due to my final exams, I miss them so much, put a smile on my face all through service. As the adults have their own service, the kids had a christmas party. One good thing about being a teacher/helper is that you get to eat the food that the kids bring hahahahaha and then the kids will chat away with you telling you about their holidays and everything =)

After church, we went to my mom's friends open house, makan-makan, watch some TV, eat somemore then we went home. After that i went to my friend's house for BBQ. It was nice to catch up with my friends, though we didn't see each other for only like 1 week? But yes, we had a lot of fun and laughter, we camwhored, we BBQ-ed, Qing's mom was sporting and awesome! hahahaha and we watched a marathon of cartoons. So ngam all oso cartoon -.- we started off with " How to Train a Dragon" to " Shrek Forever After" to "tangled" and then we all went home at 11.30pm. It was my first time spending christmas outside home and in fact the whole day, one event after the other =) it was a fun experience.

And now, i have to get busy preparing for my cookie business =/ seriously la...24 hours is not enough

outings

All the outings are finally lined up after finals.... there are just so many outings i don't know if my mom could cope with it hahahahhaha i think she is going to nag me, its like one week 2-3 outings for a few weeks and then suddenly one BIG outing which is to go Genting with my ji mui, and even in Genting have a mini meet up with my ex-colleague, so its like an outing within an outing hahaaha then there is Christmas presentations to go to, Tania's b'day, bringing my brother out since he will be back for Christmas, baking cookies for chinese new year....omg i'm basically just pure busy til next year, and the moment i'm free, my friend just got me a job so yea @.@

Sometimes i feel like how do people who has a huge social life even cope? i mean my social life is small, but still i have a lil difficulty coping, sometimes i wonder " where do these people get the money from? where do they get the time?" Well not that i'm complaining, i love my friends, and i really appreciate them for still inviting me even though i put them down ever so often =) but when i think of people who has a big social life? my greatest admiration goes all out to them man...but this month, i'm gonna splurge, coz next year i will be working my ass off =D so yea, next outing on the list Ariel's b'day ^^

Do you know the feeling of wanting to tell someone something yet you don't want the person to directly know, but you don't want to secretly write it out either but yet you don't want the whole world to know too? @.@ confusing but i feel like that right now... Feel like grabbing a stranger and blab everything out from A-Z and then part ways like nothing happened.

Monday, October 31, 2011

I've got something so say...

you know when you are stuck in a jam, and you've got nothing else to do but to think, and think and think? yea, so i've got a piece of my mind that i would like to share, and hopefully in the future when i look back, i would be able to laugh at myself. But right here, right now, this is my mentality....

#1
Sometimes i dun understand why some people only cherish a person once the person is gone and has moved on in life =/ i suppose they only know what is important once they've lost it. It like when you don't know what to eat, and you are staring at the menu? and then you eenie meenie minee mo on the menu and your finger lands on a dish? suddenly you feel very clear on what you want to eat and choose something other than the dish that your finger was pointing at -.- ok maybe it's a lil different, but still.....

#2
I also fail to understand, why can't a person share his problems to the girl he likes? i mean like, sure you say " oh, i don't want her to worry about me" don't cow shit me la ok? how would you feel if the situation is the other way round? Its as if the whole world knows except you, and it sucks to find out from another person. Come on la, confide in each other, it's through this that builds trust, then only the girl will feel secure with you ma...haih... you think following the shows make you heroic meh?

#3
whats the point of telling her friends how much you love her, describing and writing poems TO HER FRIENDS but not telling her a single thing? what, you expect her to be a private investigator and look through her friend's inbox and IM to find out? Tell her la~

Haih...if couples dun suffer from all this, life would be so much smoother, but NO...all this has to happen, like that life only got "drama" ma .... oh well... so basically that is what a girl thinks, i might not represent ALL girls, but in the end i'm still a girl, so i count as well. You can either take it or leave it, laugh at it or take it seriously =) Just my humble opinion

something for everyone

Have you heard of the saying " Don't judge a book by it's cover"? but no matter how "high" our moral ground is, you still can't help but to judge people, come on, we ARE humans after all.

Well i'm not sure if you do this, but there are times when i'm walking in a mall, and i see this really weird looking couple, like probably one being attractive but the other being the exact opposite, i tend to go " wah, like that oso got people want ar?" ok, i know i'm being mean ( and i know some of you do too, just that you guys don't say it out) but please hear me out, or rather in this case read me out hahahaha sounds wrong...

Anyway, it occurred to me, what you are has made you who you are today. You know sometimes you see a really attractive girl? and her attitude is like a total b*tch? and then you wonder, what does her boyfriend sees in her? is he blind or something? And then you see this really attractive guy going out with a nerdy girl with 0% fashion sense, and you'll be like WTH?! Like i said, what you are has made you who you are today. If you are born unattractive, somehow that has molded you into who you are today, you'll probably be very humble and simple minded who don't expect much out of life. If it were the other way round, you'll probably be stuck-up, arrogant and expect to have more in a partner ( not stereotyping, i do have attractive friends who are really nice ^^)

what i'm trying to say is, it all boils down to personality, who says only the cute and attractive ones gets a life partner? Does that mean all ugly ppl will die alone? NO! Out there, there is definitely someone for everyone, nobody is ugly, everybody is beautiful in some way, it doesn't necessarily need to be your appearance.

O.o

Was blowing my hair this morning and then I suddenly realised I like the way I look when I'm not wearing spectacles and contact lenses. Then it hit me, life is like that, life is beautiful when u know just enough, knowing too much just ruins it. Just that blurry image makes u contented.

Felt like a philosopher this morning man, must be the hair dryer helping me connect my brain cells :)

Living in another world

Don't you think it's nice to be an actress/ actor? You get to try out different professions, you don't have to stick to it, and the best part is, you don't have to study for it! You can be a doctor, you can be a lawyer; just slowly trying out occupations without actually going through the real stress, and even if there is an obstacle in "life", you will know at the end of the day, everything is going to be alright. You get to live a life that people all want to have, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect father figure, everything is perfect. You get to kiss cute guys too! *sigh* It's nice living in a movie :) it's a fairytale everybody wants to live in.

BUT...

It gives you false hope, creates high expectation (especially for the guys)and it has somehow made it's way into our society, transforming people making people believe that "yes, this is the way people should behave, dress up or look" the power of the media.... So magnificently great...

I'm getting baptized !

I'll be getting water baptized tomorrow after 19 years of being a christian. And the funny thing is, I didn't get water baptized earlier was because I was afraid of sharing a testimony and also at that time, I didn't really had much of a testimony to share.

Well, it was like this, even though i was born into a christian family, but i have always taken God for granted, going to church was a ritual/routine/an obligation, and back then i was "blind" all that God has blessed me with was taken for granted. It was until i was in form 5 that i started to experience His presence in my life. I suppose it was thanks to Marcus for inspiring me to fast for a week when prayer emphasis week came about. Though we were suppose to fast for a month, but we choose to fast for a week. I fasted lunch heh heh ( lost 2KG in a week man dun play play) it was after that, that made me "see" alot of things.

I remember applying/writing in to Taylor's for a partial scholarship, and then i prayed that i would get that scholarship, however the Lord saw greater things for me and granted me full scholarship after registering in Taylor's. He helped me with my interview, gave me confidence, sometimes when i think back, i would wonder, why did Taylor's choose me? there were so many potential applicants, why me? for me the interview was like trying my luck, even if i dun get it, i would at least gain some experience that kind of thing. (but i still prayed hard for it though)But then surprisingly i got it, so i really thank God for it =) The angels must have brain washed the judges, whispering in their ears all the time hahaha coz one of the judges was my lecturer, and i was bared from entering his class coz i was late >.< how could he still have a good impression on me? anyways, i still have alot of testimonies to testify but i think i will bore you. However i'm sure of one thing, the starting point was the fasting, and then i started to join heart shapers, in which i though i would be going to shape the kids hearts to be little warriors for the Lord, but instead of me shaping their hearts, they have in turn shaped my heart. I've realised that my faith in him has grown, and I see Him working in my life more often. And now, i'm taking this step to follow Jesus in his footsteps and to be a real christian. Though i won't be the BEST christian, as i still don't do alot of religious stuff normal christians do, but i know that changes are going to occur after this first step, and i'm gonna be ready to embrace it =) Amen!!

bling bling

I've learnt something very valuable just by making a decision of eating out with a bunch of new found friends. I've realized that it is good to step out of your comfort zone, to try new things and to reach new horizons. My mum told me once " wah you ar always mixing with the wrong group, either you are always eating out with the aunties ( not really aunties la, just that they are a few 10 years more senior than me thats all) or you are mixing around with the kids (referring to the church kids which i'm volunteering to keep an eye on), why aren't you mixing around with people with your own age? why not you change ministry and join the choir or something so you can meet people your age?" So yesterday, i finally went out with "people my age" to eat lunch. Doesn't sound like a feat? it is to me, coz i don't know many people in my church apart from my batch of CW friends whom i lost touch with since i always sit with my mom during sermons and probably just a few aunties who would accommodate in the children's ministry. So yea, when my friend asked me out, i was a tad skeptical about going, but then i decided it is time i get out of my comfort zone. And i was glad i did. We chatted over lunch and i learnt something from this guy, he definitely has live his daily life to the fullest. He didn't let money get into his way when it comes to experiencing new things, in his case its sports, and its extreme sports type. Sometimes i wonder, what is pulling me back? you only live life once, but then again, i'm not living in a world that revolves around me, there are people's feelings that i need to consider, easier said than done *sigh* but then he said something which i thought was true, he said " opportunities are out there, it is whether you want to grab them or not, if you search for it, you will surly find it" FULAMAK! so true man, ever since then, i start to look at things differently. Everything becomes an opportunity and not an obstacle, and i realized i was more willing to go head on with things instead of thinking of all the negative things it would bring before even trying, and sometimes these negative thoughts of mine would lead me to not go at all and missing out on great events. Overall through that lunch, i've met 2 more new friends, i suppose it was me all along not wanting to open up to people, they were actually quite friendly hahaha new stepping stone!

And yes, the heads on decision was actually about today's audition introduced by Jian Yong. And i'm glad i made that decision, i met a few more new people today =))) who knows what more new horizons are awaiting me? Oh, and yes, in every group, there's bound to be a glue that bonds other friends together. In high school it was Houyi, in college it was Wenyi and in church it is Joshua =) and he will NEVER see this lol but i'm really grateful to these "glues", they are the reason i got closer to friends and get to know more friends =) so THANK YOU!

Alert!!

OMG today Jack Neo and his crew were in my college filming! Shawn Lee and Joshua Ang T.T didn't get to see them.....was too chicken to go near the filming site, was excited just to know the fact that they were there in my college hahahaha. Anyway went and visit Joyce at Chatime, she was the first one who posted on facebook that Jack Neo was in Lakeside. That lucky girl took a picture with the hottie too >.< jealous sial.... anyway, was happy to see her, haven't seen her since she transferred school to catholic high =/ so we chatted a while and apparently that smart girl is going to further her studies majoring in medicine. Gosh..smart kid, don't know many friends who take up medicine lo, i really respect people who take medicines, don't know how their brains can handle all those science hahahaha maybe i'm just stupid. But these are the REAL people who works in hospitals. Tired of people asking me what course i take and when i say "hospitality" they ask " oh you become nurse ar?" =.=" ZHA DOU

Othello

Haih...if only the people of the earth are all naive, the world would be a better place to live in. Perhaps maybe not naive but have high moral values and integrity which they actually practice in their daily lives, only then the world would be a better place to live in.

Think about it, we (the students) are like the white pieces on the Othello board going into society and experiencing the REAL world after we graduate. Our society here is like the black piece of the Othello board. This is why i mentioned the statement above. We, being fresh out of college, having brought with us our moral value from high school/college and going out into the "world" thinking that the world is a great place, we should help people in need, and usually when we ourselves help others, we would think others would do the same to us. Well...apparently that's naive. Many times, a white piece goes into the world, and subsequently turned into a black piece. Let's give 2 examples:
a colleague (A) asked to borrow money from another colleague (B) saying that he needs the money badly as he is broke, so B borrowed A quite an amount of money, thinking that helping friends in need is a virtue right? And after a few weeks, A disappeared, and the money could not be recovered.
I would be the perfect subject for the 2nd example. Last time my car "broke down" on me while on my way home, so while i waited for my brother to come, a man approached me and offered help. It was naive of me to think that this "good" samaritan was actually there to help me. I didn't ask for help, yet he came and do nothing and demanded for money =.= what happened to sincerely helping someone in need?
There, with this two examples, i can finally say that after these things happen to the white pieces, they too tend to turn into black pieces so as to defend themselves form these greedy people. So when another colleague is really in dire need of money, these same people would not borrow a single to this other colleague. And when the whole world becomes black pieces, everybody would be selfish, greedy, cautious, and tend to be mean. Look at what has become of this world...A guy brought a lost boy back to his home, yet this guy who was being nice was charged as being a pedophile and put into jail. It's really sad...

On the brighter side, I see the younger generation changing, twice i was being sincerely helped by a total stranger when my friend's car tyre punctured, so i really hope that these people will not be corrupted by society and continue to touch lives =) and i do hope that i will have the tolerance to continue to sincerely help others in need even if people will think i'm stupid or gullible. I really want to make a difference, Gandhi said " be the change you want to see in the world" and hopefully i can do it one human at a time.

Free at last!

Just ended my industrial training yesterday so basically i am FREE!!! I can wake up late, sleep late, catch up on my dramas, facebook ;)

I am definitely going to miss the people at EEST, it will be an experience i shall never forget. Initially they plan to throw me into the pond, but i knew they wouldn't dare =P but i brought back up clothes just in case hahahaha I suppose i was pampered on my last day, with treats from everybody, I got a vanilla milkshake by Yap who sacrificed his rest time to personally make a milkshake for me, then i got a sushi platter by the japanese chef Yuan, everybody said the platter that i had wasn't even served in EEST and commented that guest didn't even have the privilege to makan that platter hahaha but i suppose even the guest won't get hidden chunks of wasabi hidden in the last sushi -.-'' makan sampai nangis o~ I initially suspected something, but since the first 4 pieces was safe, i assumed the last one would be too, mana tahu.....>.< And then after that i got a tiramisu from Prego, the real stuff which according to Kent sends orgasms into the mouth -.- and yes the tiramisu has alcohol in it, so it definitely taste better than the tiramisu made by pastry ( pastry punya halal ma..) And one last thing, omg... i collected my own cake and i didn't even know it. The name was written "Tan Mae Mae" at first i was like, wah! this guest same name as me le~ then oso i was suspicious...really meh? so i asked Wai Ting and Seong " this guest really exist ar?" then they told me "yea of coz" so i put it in the fridge thinking it was a guest by the name Tan Mae Mae would collect it. Mana tau restaurant tutup the cake masih ada di sana, so obviously it was mine la, *there is a reason y it's tiramisu cake, coz its the only thing that would make me stay even after my shift ends hahahaha* So yea, they promised me a 1kg tiramisu cake and they kept their promise *so touched* and lastly b4 i went home, Seong gave me a bottle of Tiger beer =D and asked me to finish it. So i eventually end up over eating yesterday. And to put the icing on the cake, my dear friend Wenyi belanja me McD for supper =) and also stayed back to celebrate my last day at EEST and Westin. Thank you guys so much! I love you all <3

This post is dedicated to all EEST service associates: Boon, Kent, Itin, Silya, Tham ( naughty boy), Yap, Seong, Wai Ting and of coz Jonas who wasn't there and also Suresh. Not to forget the kitchen team who has fed me throughout my training, treating me like their wives, gf, sister * i think i have 2 husbands* overall it was fun hanging out with all the chefs who constantly puts a smile on my face =) thank you ^^

Sniff

I'm officially sick again...it's funny how my body is always like that, it's like its very manja, it has to wait until everything is done and over and when i reach home, it collapse. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I suppose its a good thing so i dun have to take MC and have a clear record for 100% attendance but why? why can't i be healthy throughout the whole thing? haih....it just reminds me of that time we had librarian camp in Langkawi, i was ok until my body saw home and decided to just off the switch of my immune system, and there i was sick for the rest of the week =.= sien....

Malaysians...again?

Malaysians are a bunch of unique people no?

Malaysian dictionary:
On the way actually means --- " eh hello? ya... I'm on the way, on the way" *hangs up phone and gets ready to leave the house* yup thats Malaysian style "on the way" it means they are just leaving the house, on the way to get to the car and get the journey started.

*insert time here* o'clock actually means --- " eh dun play play, i wake up at 5 o'clock ok?" 5 o'clock actually means 5.45, 5.50 , 5.30 no matter if you wake up at 5.59 it is still 5'o'clock. More effect more drama ma..

punctuality actually means--- being late for 10 - 15 minutes =)

coincidence?

I wonder if it is coincidence or what, but they are a few ppl in the hotel which reminds me of my dear friends. There is this one guy who reminds me of Long Xiang, he looks like Long Xiang, talks like Long Xiang well maybe a bit softer and looks like a girl too just like Long Xiang hahahaha and he tells me that alot of people tells him that he looks like a girl. By the way this is also the same guy which the people in the hotel thinks is my brother coz they think we look alike -.- too bad i didn't take a picture of him today coz my phone no battery.... and today was his last day. Everytime they see me, they will ask, where is your twin sista? who is bigger you or him? -.- sien...

Then there was this other guy who reminds me of Huey Teck. But he is the older, fairer version of Huey Teck. A very quiet guy and speaks only chinese. hahahaha he behaves like Huey Teck too! i mean from that one day that i met him la. Very quiet, deep in thought and only smiles..sometimes... i dunno whats happening to me, maybe i miss my friends too much.

And then, alot of people say i look like someone they know. 3 people has already said i look like someone else and asked if i have a sister or something -.- i suppose this world's population is getting too much that faces has to be repeated hahahahaha oh and another chef thought i was the sister of this other trainee too (different from the one i mentioned above) *and this time i took his picture ;)* but i still dun think i look like him. they kept teasing us like " eh you dengan dia adik-beradik kah? muka macam sama saje?" then they roared out laughing a hearty laugh. haih...its his last day too, one by one the trainees all leaving, one by one familiar faces are gone....its gonna feel strange and weird from now on..got to depend on myself from now on!

Day 1

First day of work wasn't exactly exciting, it was scary actually. First day already they throw me at Daily Treats, equipped with nothing at all and decided to let me fend for myself. I suppose its the same in every hotel, but i would really appreciate it if they would give me a basic guild line on what to do. Like maybe just teach me how to make juices, and i will gladly stay there you know? but no... Anyway i made a lot of mistakes, on the pancake and waffle thing, guest were not very happy *yikes* kept fumbling up orders coz i kept asking the seniors how to do this and that =( and finally it was closing time, i was like *yippee!!* and we kept everything back in the store. But it doesn't end there, Kitchen department is a series of challenges. BOH, here they call it heart of the house (HOH) walao...i was so lost, seniors were so busy they had no time to instruct us around, but not only that, they didn't instruct us to do anything yet they get angry when we stand there and do nothing. not that we didn't ask for work, we did, we just got scolded >.< come on, what happen to buddy system? but anyway, things got better after lunch, kitchen is fun, if you know what to do. I dun mind the chef scolding all the time, coz i know he doesn't mean it. All i dun like is being lost, not knowing anything yet they expect you to know everything. I dun mind busy, i just hate idling there with nothing to do. If what seniors meant by "hell" is busy, i really dun mind. As long as i know what to do and i'm not lost with ppl constantly pushing me around. But one thing, i think my performance was great, for someone who came in first day with nothing, gained alot by the and of the day. Made loads of different types of sandwiches, but omg...the madness and the lost feeling is going to come back soon since the menu is 2 days cycle....oh boy~

Believe

Today i have changed my perspective towards Malaysians again, there are after all kind souls still around in this country. I say that because not long ago ( i dun know if you know =/) my car broke down in the middle of the road, and a mechanic came and helped me, i thought he was a kind hearted soul who wants to help me sincerely when he saw me in distress by the road, so he "helped" me to "check" my car even though i have already diagnose the problem. I just let him proceed just for him to satisfy his curiosity. ( the problem was actually my car ran out of petrol, don't judge me just yet! my meter was spoiled so i was caught unexpected! long story....) so anyway my hero brother came to my rescue and my car was able to run again, and then this guy charged us RM 20 for doing nothing -.- instead of my parents being grateful for my brother's efforts, they actually scolded him =( which affected him alot coz i saw a lot of emo post on facebook after that. Yea so bottom line i just stop being naive to think that everybody is so nice and all those things and just stop believing in people coz they just prey on gullible people like me.
But today was different, today it wasn't me who got into trouble, it was a friend of mine, her tyre got punctured, so we stop by the roadside and you know, start jacking up the car and all, and then this man saw us and he helped us! He didn't even ask for payment, just did it willingly and sincerely. and i know he was sincere coz he gave us this whole lecture about "don't get out of the car when your tyres are punctured coz some indians will pretend to help you and god knows what do what to you, you are girls, must bla bla bla...." not that i'm racist, thats what he said! and then in a jiffy he changed the tyre for my friend. I've learnt a few tactics from him by just watching him, and he also told us reason y the spare tyres are of smaller size and all...and the hero for today is Mr. Koo who has helped us despite it raining =) and he even teased " of all days why you must choose this day to get your tyres punctured"

To our stranger hero:
God bless you, though i'm a christian i do believe there is such thing as karma, so a good deed will be returned with a good deed and maybe in some unexpected circumstances in your life, where situation seems helpless, help will be there for you have been a kind soul to us. I don't know if i will be able to return your good deed, but i will definitely pay it forward, even if i'm a girl and it is said to be dangerous to help strangers, i will do it, to make a difference in this corrupted materialistic our community has become.

Bienvenue!

French....oh! *pretends to faint*
Ok over with the drama queen =) this post is dedicated to my "favorite" subject which is French! OMG its such a pain in the arse >.<

French is such a farny language, i mean seriously...ok here is an example.

Numbers
1-60 is perfectly normal...un...duex...trois...quatre....cinq...
70 onwards it starts to be tricky~ it wants to play with you from 70 - 80 its translated into 60+11 so basically its sixty AND eleven, sixty AND twelve, sixty AND thirteen -.-
80-90 is worst, its translated 4 x 20 so if i were to directly translate it, it would be four twenties and one =.=''
90 onwards....speechless...its translated four twenties and eleven
Whats wrong with them? they are like playing addition and multiplication in normal number, imagine if they have to do multiplication @.@ sien....

Gender
Do you know that french words have GENDER? There are feminin and masculin; and to me, they got their gender all wrong. Here is why....So i have this friend of mine who got a lil curious about stuff, so she took out her dictionary and started searching for words. And to her excitement she called me " Wei Mae! Wei Mae! did you know that breast is masculin?" and there was another time she told me bikini is masculin too! woah! since when? oh and take note, your sofa is a male, and guy's shirts are female oh............ and the pasta you are eating, yea there are females, so chew them with care! O.o woot?!

Pronounciation
Super hard, today my friends and i were trying to say "eye" in french, we ended up pronouncing it as if we were vomiting all over the dictionary. we sounded like a bunch of retards, but it sends us into fits of laughter =D Yi Wen est sein GRANDE! hahahahahahaha love me lots! ^^

Malaysian Driving...

Malaysian driving is the WORST! WHY?! well you see, today i went to college so on my way back, i was cutting lanes, and this guy, he was obviously behind me, and there were SPACE for me to cut in. But this @#%!$ he memang saw me coming in and i put on my signal ok? BUT he refuses to let me cut... i mean come on la, if you see a car coming in like that, even if its the fella's fault, you would just honk the fella and then break and let him pass right? afterall he is in your lane already, but NOOOOO this !$^@$# didn't break, he kept coming on and pushing me back to my lane, like what the hell is your problem? what a bully weih! like as if letting me cut through would make him late by 10 minuts or somthing -.- piss me off man! Somemore my poor friend, first time sit my car kena terkejut d hahahahaha

AND THEN, after fetching my friend home, there was this traffic light, usually that traffic light doesn't cause much jam, so i was like "wah y so jam ar?" and then i saw....3 cars, bang into each other's butt, and they park their cars in the middle of the road and all of them discussing there. -.- WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? YOUR FATHER OWN THE ROAD IZZIT? i mean come on la, be considered abit, doesn't mean driving to the side of the road means you are not responsible and you know running away! just park at the side and discuss la, woah they must jam up the whole road ish!

over and out

This is WAR!!

In every household, everyday there is a plan. What plan? more like strategies actually...everyday, we plan our strategies, like we are heading for the battlefield. So what strategy is this little Mae talking about? Little strategies that gets us out of work in the house! Its an everyday thing, trust me.... Example:

Strategy no.1
*eating dinner*
* sees "someone" finishing his dinner*
*purposely eat faster*
* "someone" gets up*
*gets up as well* and while that "someone" is washing the dishes, flash a big smile and put the plates in the basin so that "someone" will wash for you.

Strategy no.2
*eats cookies in the cookie jar*
*eat* *eat summore*
*eat lagi more*
*eats til got 1 last piece*
* leaves the cookie jar alone* -.- smart right? so that the last person eating the last piece have to wash the container. Damn sien.. everyday can see the level of the cookies going down like super fast, but then when it comes to the last piece of the cookie, it can last for days! >.<

Strategy no.3
you know how parents always get their kids to bring stuffs which they forgotten from downstairs to upstairs? yea so here is the scenario :
person 1 and person 2 is watching tv together downstairs.
*hears door opening upstairs*
Person 1 hides under staircase.
Person 2 gives person 1 what-the-hell-are-you-doing look
parents yell from above: "person 2? can u bring ____ up?"
person 2 expression ---- =.="
smart ass....

Strategy no.4
this one is geng...somehow our ears are trained, no matter how silent the mother walks up the stairs.
*reading comic/slacking on the bed/reading while lying down/dreaming/doing things which are not suposed to be done*
*hears footstep though its very silent*
*quickly jumps out of bed and start opening accounts book/sejarah book and start "studying"*
*mother comes in*
Mother:" oh you are studying ar? nvm la i do myself"
*phew...*

Strategy no.5
to counter strategy no.1
Faster wash all plates so that u r done when the next person comes in ;) nyek nyek nyek nyek

Sounds familiar? i think we all do that. by the way, b4 u start passing judgements, person 1, person2 and "someone" are played by different characters. they are NOT all me, i repeat NOT me. though 1 or 2 of them are

There was this really cute waiter there who made our day, he is just so matter-of-factly, with his huge eyes and funny personality hahaha he tried to pose in one of our pictures but i didn't manage to catch him on camera, but i saw what he did! cheeky fella...

I was really hyper that day, i just kept on laughing and laughing and laughing, and Car Yi laughed til she cried! hahaha damn funny weih~ oh and my beef came in a really puney portion lol i still remember commenting sarcastically to that cute waiter about the portion being VERY generous lol and then i was surprised by the cake and presents! like omg i thought i won't receive anything since it dinner, and they are paying and the cake....didn't expect it. I just thought it was just plain dinner, thats it! so we took a group picture =) first with the ji muis and then together with the heng dais lol and i felt ALOT of hands pushing my neck...and my head -.- is that how you treat the b'day girl?! anyway...moving on...we ended the party with all the ji muis in a big group hug, and we made alot of noise hahhahaha it was an epic dinner ;) special thx to WenYi and Andrea for organizing the party, Car Yi for making it to dinner though she had korean class, and all the others who were present to make dinner more wonderful ^^

Happy New Year!

I had a quiet new year this year, or is it last year? Nvm... my last few new years were spent in busy shopping malls, with thousands of people looking up into the sky enjoying the fireworks display together either with friends or with just my family. This year, my whole family went to a friend's house to watch the fireworks, the view was spectacular, her house was facing directly opposite the Curve AND her house was a condo, so the fireworks was like "WOW" Then while i was standing on her balcony, i saw fireworks from all around KL, near and far alike. Even Giant @ Kota Damansara were displaying fireworks, so yea, i saw a few fireworks. So i'm so sorry to my friends who were in Curve that night that i couldn't join you, but we are together in spirit right? looking at the same sky ;)

The recent years new year has got me thinking again, i was thinking how did I celebrate new year last time when i was younger, I believe most of the time i slept through it, and i think i have been sleeping through new year until i was form 4? yea....

Anyway 2010 was a fantastic year for me because it was my first time having a surprise b'day from my friends hahaha thinking back about it makes me laugh, i thought i was so clever, i sort of knew that they were celebrating for me ( i mean come on, they did that to every other friend on their b'day after successfully celebrating Huey Teck's b'day) so i pretended to be clever and say "oh, i'm so sorry i couldn't make it" when Hou Yi called, afterall i knew my mom would say no if i asked her permission to go out ( she's slightly better now) and lil did i know, they were 1 step ahead of me, they called my mom to put me on the prank =.= so my mom brought me to 1u, and i was crossing my fingers that i won't meet my friends there, and then...she brought me to Chilis and SURPRISE!! *shit and i'm wearing this >.<* that was my first thought lol but i'm really glad, i had fun =) cake on my face, cake on her face ;) and then cake on the floor hahahahaha the staff dropped it.

Then there was CNY, where all my friends came over =) and then we went to everybody elses house and collect ang pow lol gamble.... Then there was World Cup i never thought i would enjoy football AND my family and i were crazy to even stay up til 2 a.m. to watch the Netherland VS Spain match at a pub at Sunway Giza, and of coz we watch the finals too in my uncle's house, 2 a.m. again. Lol and i bet with Marcus for the first time, and obviously he won =.= coz he listened to the stupid octopus called Paul. yea so i owe him a meal, a proper meal complete with drinks. Oh and oso it was in 2010 that i consumed the most alcohol in my 18 years of life, though the amount is nothing to be proud of but nevertheless still the most in my entire life. Well there always is a first in everything ;) It's like ever since i had this wine tasting class in college i feel like i want to try more and more! Moreover, it is in 2010 that i had the most outings with friends. Sunway Lagoon with college mates, Car Yi and Qing's b'day party, Ariel's b'day party, Mag's b'day party, shopping with friends, gathering at Manhatten Fish Market, and i think oso gathering at Dome ( was that 2010 or 2009?) oh and a secret meeting with Tanya at her house right after my class, i think i fetched her back from Sunway Pyramid too hahaha and got lost on the way =.=

So to me 2010 marks the year which i've done the most things i would never had done in 2009, it is oso the year which marks many uncertainty and self-doubt. So i suppose overall it was a good year, with many first times. Hopefully 2011 will be even better with more new things to try! Good bye 2010, Hello 2011!!
