A Dash of Aspiration & A Mix of Inspirations

Write

2011-11-30T20:48:00.000+08:00

Writing has become an escape of mine that has long been forgotten.

Few know that my journalism was the first ever field that I seriously considered as a career path.

Back when we were in school, every essay I had to construct in English class was a blank canvas for me to paint my imagination on.

The passion has long been buried, in the box of my childhood dreams.

On certain days, I think back and wonder if I should have pursued this road, instead of choosing what I consider ‘a sensible choice’ today.

I guess I never found the guts to choose something that many people consider a degree with no determinable future.

Would I be happier today if I chose the other path? Just I wonder.

I ponder.

2010-11-01T00:24:00.000+08:00

On some days, I feel lonely, even when surrounded by friends.
When I thought about it again, I felt the loneliness disappear.

Was my loneliness real or a state of mind that I regularly put myself in?

Thoughts & Opinions

2010-05-22T22:56:00.001+08:00

Guten Tag.

I'll admit that I was looking for a fresh start, like many, when college began.
The college life wasn't what I hoped it would be.
I've come to miss my high school life more than college life.

During high school, I was surrounded by a bunch of people whom I could call friends and not feel any doubt over it. In college, not so much.

I'm turning into a hermit in college.
A total loner most of the time.
I appreciate being alone most of the time but sometimes, it gets just a tad bit lonely.
My schedule is partly to blame. Having classes back-to-back leaves me no time to talk to people.
Fitting in is important to me but I do not want to change they way I am just to please others. I've tried that and it worked, for a while, that is. It just isn't worth it to me as you can easily lose your values and who you really are when you try to become someone else.

Have a nice day & chao.

Pre-College Matters

2010-03-31T21:17:00.000+08:00

Guten Tag.

College life feels unreal to me right now.
REAL lectures have yet to start and will only begin on April 12th.
Introductory lectures are a waste of time most of the time.

I'm worrying myself sick with petty matters and I'm getting really irritated at myself.
Everything I do at the moment feels like a waste of time.
And if I think about it, it IS a waste of time.

I have to admit that college life looks pretty exciting.
The real college experience just hasn't started yet.

Orientation Night (Pyjama Party) is looking less inviting the more I thought about it.
My erratic mood swings might have just nudged me off that cliff of uncertainty on whether to attend the party or not.
I'm not much of a party kind of person, that I can say.
Open dance floors, ice-breaking games, games involving something I'm not at ease with...
These are the things that throw me into a tizz as I can't help it.

I never noticed that I tend to zone out and let my attention wander after a few minutes of monotonous speech.
For some unknown reason, I managed to zone out when the announcement on the first 3 week schedule was made during Orientation Day.
I find myself thinking about a whole different matter in a split second whenever the lecturer starts a topic of discussion that I found irrelevant to the lecture.

Mum said that she always knew that I was the type of person who is easily befuddled, or in Malaysian terms ; very blur.
I never thought that I was. I guess I sort of am as it's so easy to let my mind wander off when something bores me.
Oh, self-revelation...

Chao.

Boohoo.

2010-03-22T21:37:00.000+08:00

Guten Tag.

Orientation Day was not as interesting as I had hoped it would be.
It's funny how I tell myself not to have expectations but it just crept up.
Made three new friends today. =)
Not as many as I had hoped to make but it's a good start, right?

I screwed up a bit and forgot to find out which lecture I'm assigned to for the next three weeks.
Now I'm forced to take the chance of missing out on a class altogether tomorrow. *sigh*
My first Introductory Lecture and I'm already in risk of missing out on it.
Do I fail or do I fail bad?

Deb says not to sweat it.
Introductory Lectures are pretty pointless, according to her.
I just can't help but worry.

Focusing on better news, Tokio Hotel is coming down to Malaysia.
A silent wish truly came true.
May 1st shall be the day I will await impatiently.

College life looks pretty promising.
Clubs, societies and activites galore.
We shall see what pans out and what doesn't.

Chao.

Scream Your Heart Out

2010-03-17T00:00:00.002+08:00

Guten Tag.

College begins next Monday.
That is in 5 days.
I'm neither excited for it, nor am I dreading it.
It just feels like something that has to be done.
People say college is the place to get a fresh start on life and reinvent yourself.
A step into the real world, they say.
Do I want to reinvent myself?
Honestly, it's just a scary black blob on my memory calendar that I have to face.
Maybe one day I'll look back on this and laugh about it.

Many are still undecided on what they should do next.
I can't say that I know what I should do next for sure.
The future's a blank canvas, I guess.
Let's hope the base paint that I'm applying doesn't chip off.
I know how fickle I can be when it comes to something important.

I'm literally wasting my time at home these past few days.
Reading doesn't give me a sense of peace like it used to.
National Geographic programmes are being repeated on TV.
Guitar Hero bores me after 5 songs.
A new hobby is exactly what I need.
The question is, what?

Chao.

Straightjacket Crazy

2010-03-12T13:05:00.000+08:00

Guten Tag.

Yesterday was Thursday, 11th of March 2010.
1A+ , a few A and A-.
Somehow, I find it unsatisfactory.
Someone slap me.
Seriously.

I keep thinking, maybe I'd rather get a B+ than just have one single A+.

I passed my driving test on Monday, 8th of March 2010.
I didn't feel ecstatic after passing the test.
Partly because the JPJ person was a grumpy, meanie head.
I chirped, "Selamat sejahtera!" cheerfully when I entered the car and he grunted at me.
Also, partly because I completely forgot how to change gears when I entered that car.

I'm not completely happy with how things turn out these days even though they turn out better than I had expected.
I need some psychoanalysing.

I find myself making a lot of lists this month.
There's...
a.) 2 list of items to bring for National Service
b.) 3 list of things to bring back home & leave in Rawang
c.) a list of papers & certificates to photocopy

And I just realised that I made a list of lists. xD

I'm going bonkers.
I was poking at an ant crawling on the computer screen with the mouse pointer.

Chao.

Home Sweet Home

2010-02-28T23:26:00.000+08:00

Guten Tag.

I'm returning back to Rawang tomorrow morning.
Being away from home makes me miserable. D=
Internet is losing its' appeal to me.
I find myself actually living my life again instead of living my cyber one.
Cyber life feels a lot less significant and much more of a chore.
I'm even bored of hexrpg.com , which says a lot as I used to spend my whole day, everyday of the week there.

I'm less than excited to go for National Service.
The thought of it fills me with dread nowadays.
I hate leaving home.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm one of those teens who can't bear to leave the nest. =O
This is depressing.

I cannot wait for the SPM results to be released.
I'm not expecting straight A's but I'm hoping to score 7 or 8A's.
I cannot wait for college life to begin.
I'm sick of teaching kids.

I shall post a more uplifting post tomorrow when I get settled back in, in Rawang.
Goodnight, my darlings!
Happy (last-day-of) Chinese New Year.

Chao.

Kaboom!

2010-02-12T23:50:00.000+08:00

Guten Tag.

*lights the cyber-firecrackers*

Let's all get into the Chinese New Year mood.
What do you normally do during Chinese New Year?
Day and night.
Legal or not. *cough*

Chinese New Year is not officially if you don't...

1.) eat mandarin oranges
2.) stuff your face with cookies & drinks
3.) play with Pop Pop firecrackers (legal) or firecrackers (illegal obviously)
4.) sit around before midnight on CNY eve and stare at the wall
5.) text " Gong Xi Fa Chai" to your friends at 12am
6.) gain 5kgs
7.) watch a lion dance live
8.) sing or hum a Chinese New Year song (albeit out of tune)

Did you notice that there's eight reasons? xD

I have the urge to invite you guys to my house on the first day of Chinese New Year but I got lazy. *cough*
There'll be a lion dance at 2pm.

HAPPY TIGERRIFIC CHINESE NEW YEAR!
Rawr.

Chao!

Baa baa!

Updates & CNY Cards

2010-01-30T08:39:00.000+08:00

Guten Tag.

It is precisely 8.24am on a Saturday morning.
No way in hell would a normal teenager be caught awake before noon on a weekend but this 'awakening' wasn't done based on free will.

I'm still in Rawang, tutoring my little cousins.
I'll be going back to Klang later tonight.
Mum has gone to the extent of buying me yummy food for me to stuff myself with when I get home.
On the menu today ; durians!

Terribly sorry for not updating these days. Being in a not-so-hostile yet not-home environment induces weird behaviour and weakens the immune system.

Number one : I lost the interest in internet. :O

Number two : Who knew I had a reserve tank of patience.

Number three : I'm constantly falling sick even with the daily supplements of multivitamins and garlic capsules, which I do NOT take at home 90% of the time. Let's hope my immune system's not going on a strike.

I have the weird urge to send out Chinese New Year cards this year. Since we're going to KL today, I just might buy a stack of 'em if I happen to chance upon them. :D

I shall update soon on the CNY card situation, darlings.
CNY card delivery will be worldwide as I'm planning to send some to my friends overseas.
Do tell me if you want one. :)

Chao.

P.S. : Aren't ya'll excited for CNY? *squeals*

Lucky at being unlucky

2010-01-07T13:44:00.004+08:00

Guten Tag.

Life is hectic.
I resigned from my job at KFC after one day.
Got myself another job today as a kindergarten teacher's assistant.
10 bucks a day.
Little but I prefer working with children.

I went for a blood test last week.

Results :

There is a mild microcytic hypochromic anaemia. The red cells show erythrocytosis, poikilocytosis and several fragmented cells. The white cells and platelets appear normal. The blood film is suggestive of thalassaemia trait and/or iron deficiency.

Interpretation :
it means u have small & less iron blood cells, thus anaemia. RBC value is silghtly elevated, suggesting a production increase in ur blood, which maybe caused by destruction of blood cells.

erythrocytosis means over production of red blood cells while poikilocytosis means production of blood cells with different sizes. the test suggests that ur blood cells are either breaking down easily or u dont have enough iron to produce strong proper blood cells.

And to top it all off!
My blood type is O Rh(D) POSITIVE.
My sister is AB Rh(D) POSITIVE.

My mum's blood type A and my dad's a B.
I got both of their recessive O gene.
Great huh?
I'm amazingly lucky at being unlucky.

Chao.

*Thanks to Kay Amanda from HEX for explaining the results to me!

Guten Tag.

In today's world of technology and smart-everything (smart phones, smart robots, smart computers), people are discarding the idea of old-fashioned and so-called impractical habits.

Recently, I've taken up the hobby of writing letters and postcards to friends. Both overseas and local.
Many would ask, "Email and messaging services were created for a reason, you know?".

What many don't comprehend is that receiving a letter/postcard from a different land plays a big part in the excitement.
I doubt anyone gets excited about receiving an normal email.

Try it. Get a penpal.
Not a creepy old paedophile though.

Guten Abend.

It's been some time since I've been actively posting in this blog.

As it turns out, I'm not in Group 1 for the National Service program. Bah!
Group 2 or 3, it is.

Internet doesn't hold the 'pull' for me these days.
The 'detox' period from all the time I spent away studying must have worked.
I'm glad declare that I am no longer an internet addict.

School's almost out!
Hoopla!

Off to watch New Moon this Friday!
Major hoopla!

Tokio Hotel is gaining popularity in Malaysia!

I got my All American Rejects concert ticket today!
The only local band I can stand is One Buck Short.
They're not bad. I've never heard Disagree play, nor their songs.
Pop Shuvit is...tolerable.
Wai Kuan asked the booth managers on the number of tickets to be given out ; 10K tickets.
Wow.

I am, as usual, supposed to be studying for the SPM trials but I'm happy living in my little bubble.
Happy studying everyone.
Thank God this Monday is a holiday. ;)
Chao.

* IMPRT : Tickets are not for sale. The other 3 belong to my sister & two friends. Sorry. So far 4 M'sians have already inquired about the tickets and I'm sorry to have to disappoint them. I photographed 4 together because one ticket would look very lonely. xD

The Big Scary Plan

2009-08-18T17:55:00.003+08:00

Guten Tag.

I would love to cover MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia in this post but I was just hit upon an idea. MTV can wait.

I formulated a plan in my head today on what I'm going to have to do.

Obstacle #1
SPM trials exam
~ Study till my brains fry.

Obstacle #2
SPM exam
~Ditto (as stated above).

Obstacle #3
National Service
~ I'm looking forward to this, as much as I dread several factors.

Obstacle #4
German Language lessons at ICLS
~ If I can't go all the way to Germany to learn German, I am determined to learn it here!

Obstacle #5
Driving Lessons
~ Not a major excitement source for me but it's necessary.

Obstacle #6
Look into the Titan Planet programme.
~ We shall see next year. No set plans or goals yet.

Obstacle #7
College
~ Psychology still seems to be the top choice.

Starting from #3, the obstacles are exchangeable with each other.
Unfortunately, obstacles 1 and 2 are non-negotiable. Boo.

I'm happy to finally have a plan!
Chao!

2009-07-21T23:38:00.002+08:00

Guten Tag.

I was reminiscing back on the days where everything seemed so simple and almost- free.
No entanglements, no important matters that could affect our livelihood.
It was the time where little things seemed larger than ever. Almost life-altering.
But when you look back at the moments, they look rather unimportant now. Silly. Pointless even.
Everything was simple. Like 1+1=2.
Comparing it to these moments right now, they seem like child's play.
And indeed, they were.

It didn’t matter much if you got failed a test.
Even though we thought of it as a big deal then.
These tough days, a failed test is pretty much a prison sentence.
Less than 5 months left to study for the big, bad exam. So little time to catch up.
Grade A1 seems so far away and really, it is if you think closely.

You could feel the crushing pressure when you see a textbook in someone’s hands.
The tiny crack. The twinge in your conscience.
“Study study study!”
Bla bla bla.
Your conscience itself could guilt you to exhaustion, never mind the textbooks.

Chao.

PS : I'm skipping school tomorrow and will be watching Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince again! -squeals-

Avada Kedavra?

2009-07-15T14:37:00.004+08:00

Guten Tag.

It has been a while since I've posted.
Forgive my incompetence to get myself to write something worth reading.

Recently (very recently), I won two tickets to the premier of Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince movie. Practically every close friend of mine has heard of my braggin- uhm, I mean me informing them.

Therefore without furthur ado, I present to you the awesome and spectacularly rad entry card!
I'm still feeling aplenty British at the moment.

Row A starts from the top, mind you. I didn't spend the whole 2 1/2 hours staring up to the screen.

I am quite ecstatic to say that I am looking for someone to watch the movie with me again. xD
Any takers?

I promise to

a.) jump in excitement for you if you're feeling rather glum
b.) squeal in anticipation
c.) answer every question you might have on HP
d.) not do 'a' and 'b' during the movie. Well, I'll try.
e.) not drool all over you when Draco goes onscreen. Highly doubtful but you can't blame a girl for trying.

Danke und tschau!

To wail or not to wail?

2009-06-30T22:46:00.002+08:00

Guten Tag.

Have you ever said 'sorry' to someone and got the reply, "Sorry No Cure"?
I have and I certainly despise that particular phrase.

I mean, when a person apologises, that shows that the person really is sorry for his/her action.
But nooo! Someone must go ahead and say, "Sorry No Cure".
Doesn't that just want to make you NOT apologise next time?
Sometimes, I just want to bash up the person that created the phrase.

Other news!

I am drafted into National Service.
Do I shriek in delight or wail in despair?
I can't decide at the moment.
I await the moment where it will sink in.

Mum isn't very happy. She's already starting to worry at the moment.
Sheesh! I should have kept this information to myself and reveal it to her the day before I'm scheduled to leave or something,
"Guess what, mum?! I'm leaving for NS tomorrow!"
That wouldn't go well at all.

My sister, on the other hand is laughing at me.
What ever happened to sisterly love?!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ich bin so glücklich!

After months and months (and MONTHS) of badgering,

I finally convinced my mum to buy a rabbit for me!

FINALLY!

I have yet to name him (yes, it's a him).

EDIT:

My little brother and I agreed upon a name.

Fuzzy.

He's an adorable little one.
I think he's barely a year old.

I have always wanted to adopt an imperfect rabbit.
One that no one would think to choose.
I am thinking I would do so the next time I find a companion for this tiny one.

As I browse through the internet for pet adoptions in Malaysia, look what I stumbled upon.

A user wrote :

3.) Strictly only to be kept as family pets and not adopted and cooked in
rabbit-kut-teh or soup or whatever at all

My grandmother used to rear rabbits and cook them so I guess some people still practice it today.

Now, feel free to praise Fuzzy.

This is the 100th post! :D
*throws confetti*

I came back from camp yesterday and I am beat!
I went on the solo night walk at 2.30am and was hearing senseless words before that since I was sleep deprived.
Something about cuticles. xD

I bet Pn. Mahani (our prefect board adviser) would throw a fit tomorrow about my absence to handle the Monday assembly today.
I'm so dead.

My 'big words' skill is pretty rusty and I'm not keen on sharpening it up just yet.
I'm pretty lazy and tired.

This is not how I imagined my 100th post to be but what can I do...? xD

Chao!

Psyching Me Out (of my mind)

2009-03-25T22:02:00.005+08:00

Guten Tag.

According to my BM tuition teacher, there is about 32 weeks left before the big bad SPM hits Malaysia.

You find teachers repeating the fact that you have to study more often.
Parents pressuring you to revise frequently.
Your conscience warning you for procrastinating.

My mum and sister asked me whether I've figured out what I'm going to study in college next year.

While they worry away about what course I would be taking, I had one little paranoid thought.
What if I fail? What if I have to repeat the year again?
Everyone was so sure that I would pass and move on to college.
Here I am thinking, what if I go blank during the exam and just sit there staring at everyone scribbling away? What a horrendous thought.

My BM tuition teacher's speech today really made me realise that there's not much time left. Usually, teachers blabber away at the number of months we have left before SPM but I just tune them out.

Then, here he comes with his '32 weeks left' speech and it hit me like a brick.
(No need for a ton of bricks, a single brick would do just fine)

Hours after tuition class ended, I find myself here, looking through pages and pages of college majors. I had something in mind but as usual, my evil self-conscious said I was too asinine to study the course.

After looking through a bunch of majors at THIS awesome site,
I compiled a list of possible majors.

Developmental Psychology
Forensic Psychology
Criminology
Sociology
Social Psychology
Tourism and Travel Management
Business Communications

Yeah, I know. Loads of psychology related fields.
People interest me.

Take a widely known fact as an example.
When you see people cross their arms over their chest, some would think that it's a relaxed pose. To those who understand, it's screams out insecure and defensive.
Simple really, basic human instincts . =)
Partly psychology related, therefore the root of my interest.

Figured out what interests you yet?

Chao.

Escape from Reality

2009-03-15T12:43:00.007+08:00

Guten Tag.

I love reading.
Besides the obvious fact that reading enables a person to just disconnect from real life and immerse themselves in a fictional one, we can relate to the characters.
Sometimes, you find that the characters live through the same things you do and that's what's peculiar.
It's like they were written just for you.
As if the story was about you, even if it wasn't.

For example, a nippet from a story I was reading,

His shoulders jerked up as he kept his head bent over the handlebars. “I don’t know. I’ve always been pretty quiet myself actually. The way the others interact– Vincent, Will, Caine, Jack– I’ve never really been one hundred percent comfortable. I don’t know if it’s just me or if –“ He sent her a lazy smile. “If we’re just loners. Sometimes, I feel like I’m more of an observer than really one of them. You know?”

Pretty much describes how I feel sometimes.
Get what I mean now?

Anyways, I was feeling pretty weird today. Look what transpired between Sue Fyenn and I during one of these weird moments.

Guten Tag.

One hour.
8.30pm Saturday 28th March 2009.

Does that ring a bell?
If no, you must have been living under a rock for months now.

Earth Hour.
Visit HERE for more information.

Fight global warming together.
Even if you're not an environmentalist, at least do your part for an hour to help save Earth.
The banner below is practically Obama inspired so if you've been crazy for Obama for the last few months, then vote! xD

To add a touch of corniness to this post, I shall say...
Vote today! The future is in your hands!

Chao!

PS~> Don't forget to switch of all of the light switches!

I kicked technology in the arse!

2009-03-13T19:21:00.008+08:00

Guten Tag.

You know one of those days where nothing goes right?
Absolutely nothing goes right!?

Well, today is one of my days.
I'm not sure if it's the Friday the 13th omen but I refuse to believe so.

It all started when I was doing my Chemistry PEKA report at 11.30pm yesterday.
I'm a last minute person, what can I say?

I did a complete page of the report and at the end of the page, thought I wrote the wrong question down.
I did my 'calm-down-before-I-start-cursing' breathing and started with a new one.

Then, I realised that I tabulated the table wrongly!
This time my breathing method almost failed but then, I moved on.

I pulled out a new sheet of paper and rewrote everything again, making sure I did not make the same mistakes.
Conveniently, Sue Fyenn texted me just as I penned down the final words in that paper.

To my surprise, I had been staring at the wrong page all that while!
Safe to say that my breathing method went out the window after that. xD

Moving on to the second event of the day that managed to irritate me just minutes ago!

I had been HTML coding and was about to post it onto a forum when my Photobucket picture upload went on a fit. It refused to budge and I was forced to close down the window, all together with my precious codes.

I tried again, HTML codes at the ready and pictures uploading.
I guess you can predict it by now that the uploading got stuck again.
Down the drain my codes went again.

I refused to give up, hoping that my persistence would pay off.
When things finally looked bright, I giddily tried uploading the pictures again, stupidly thinking that third time's the charm.
Well, third time charms can go to hell from now on.
You get the picture.

I refused to let technology beat me so I went at it again. xD
Everything finally went right!
Tada!!!!!!!!

I would do the victory dance now if it wasn't for my inability to dance.
The irony of things...*sigh*

Tip of the Day : Try and try again! Never give up, kids!

Chao.

The Bad News Just Gets Worse...

At dawn the telephone rings.

"Hello, Senor Rod? This is Ernesto, the caretaker at your country house."
"Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?"
"Um, I am just calling to advise you, Senor Rod, that your parrot died.
"My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?"
"Yes, Senor, that's the one."
"Damn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird." "What did he die from?"
"From eating rotten meat, Senor Rod."
"Rotten meat? Who the heck fed him rotten meat?!"
"Nobody, Senor. He ate the meat of the dead horse."
"Dead horse? What dead horse?"
"The thoroughbred, Senor Rod."
"My prize thoroughbred is dead?"
"Yes Senor Rod, he died from all that work pulling the water cart."
"Are you insane? What water cart?"
"The one we used to put out the fire, Senor."
"Good Lord! What fire are you talking about, man?"
"The one at your house, Senor! A candle fell and the curtains caught on fire."
"What the...?! Are you saying that my mansion is destroyed because of a freakin' candle?!"
"Yes, Senor Rod."
"But there's electricity at the house!!! What was the candle for?"
"For the funeral, Senor Rod."
"WHAT BLOODY FUNERAL?!"
"Your wife's, Senor Rod... She showed up one night out of the blue and I thought she was a thief, So I hit her with your new Tiger Woods' Nike Driver."
SILENCE...

Memories Revisited

2009-03-06T17:22:00.005+08:00

Guten Tag.

How has everyone been?
It has been a week or two since I've made an update.

I have good news!
So far I didn't fail any of my papers for my monthly test.
That's one.
Another important news is that I've stopped caring about what people think about me!
=D
Imagine how glad I am over this.

Say I walk like a duck or whatever.
Laugh at my poor ears that suffer from premature stunted growth.
I no longer care!
I feel like shrieking with joy.
As corny as I might sound (I'm pretty corny most of the time) , I love myself just the way I am.

As you can hear, I changed my blog sound effect.
I'll be switching from one to another from time to time.
I'm thinking about messing with my blog codes again but I'm pretty lazy.

Reading what I've posted previously, I found a short yet entertaining (in my opinion) rhyme that I wrote last year after all the hype of the band states competition was over.

I would just like to repost it, for the memories I guess. =)

I miss band,
Where we all held hands,
Marching outside till we turn tan,
Frying our skin off as if on a frying pan,
Throwing mud at each other while we ran,
Screaming out songs as loud as we can,
Out to the whole Klang Jaya land,
Wishing the school would buy some sand,
After stepping in and out of mud screaming, "Oh shit man!"
And shouting the word "BUGGER" in the end.

We really did wish the school would buy some sand.
The field was littered with dog poppie and God knows what else.
And I did scream out 'Oh shit,man!' when I sank like what- 5 inches into the mud?

I love memories.
I've said this before and I'm saying it again, you'll never know the meaning of being a band member until you become one.

Therefore here I am,
Unofficially promoting for you,
To join band.
Fellow band members would be so proud of me. /nods

Cheerios.
Chao.

2009-02-28T18:26:00.007+08:00

Guten Tag.

How was your day?
Mine was just the typical stay-in day.
You know, routine.

I learnt a new word through one of the romance novels I read today.

bluestocking

" a woman having literary or intellectual interests
" A scholarly, literary, or cultured woman

I can't find anything inspirational to write about these days...
Writers block sucks.
I contemplated writing a new story but it'll probably end up abandoned like the previous two stories once the exams come around.
See my dilemma?

I find it somehow inevitable to throw in big words whenever I write something.
I find this potentially... OCD-ish.

I might be dying.
I keep smelling yummy food around the evening hours.
Yesterday I smelled durians.
But there wasn't any!
A second ago, I thought I smelled cendol!
Oh great, now I smell fried chicken.
I really am dying.
My senses are tricking me.

Oh wait, my mum really is frying chicken. xD
My bad.

The monthly tests are over but I still have the urge to go study.
Anyone here find this weird?
I've come to a conclusion.
I'm dying!!!
Maybe.

Chao.

Blank Canvas

2009-02-27T17:48:00.004+08:00

Guten Tag.

I finally ended my self-exile from my beloved computer.
72 hours never felt so unbearable.
Darn you, monthly test.

Poor Darren fractured/broke his elbow two days ago and is back from the hospital.
He wouldn't let me sign his cast. =(
Guess he's missing out on a big honor.

Spelling skills have abandoned me these days.
Memory skills have improved though.
Hand-eye coordination still as bad as ever.

I am pretty proud our the school band's percussion solo during the Sport's Day event.
Click HERE to watch it.
Special thanks to Jia Ji for uploading the awesome video.

Other than that, so far everything in life is going pretty well.
Family life still good.
Love life still happily non-existent.
School life is tolerable.
It's all good. xD

Sorry about the lack of quality in the post these days.
Can hardly find anything good to blog about.
I'll stumble upon something soon. :)

Chao.

Do Something

2009-02-20T17:19:00.004+08:00

Guten Tag.

Dumb Fact of the Day : I lost track of time and thought today was Thursday. xD

Bones feel like they creak and crack at every move.
Fingers are invisibly bruised and so is my poor leg.
Being in a marching band isn't as easy as people think.

I watched Oprah yesterday out of boredom and plain laziness. It got interesting after a while because it was an episode about 'What Would You Do?'

It was based on a TV show where unsuspecting people were placed in difficult situations without knowledge that they were on camera.

What would you do if you see a man physically abusing a woman?
A quote from a summary of one of the show's episodes.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
During two days and 16 hours of taping, 92 men were captured by our cameras -- and just five of them did anything to help. Out of 100 women, 14 intervened, stopped or dialed 911 -- more than double the rate of men.

One of those who chose to intervene was Amy, the manager for a local gym. She interrupted their argument by challenging Nate, telling him, "Would you get away from her?"
She says she was scared, but explains she was compelled to help by a troubling memory of seeing a mother dragging her screaming daughter by her hair. "To this day it always bothered me that I never ... that nobody ever stood up and stopped the lady," she said.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
HERE's an example of an episode where three teenagers (actors) were bashing up a homeless person out in borad daylight and what the people around was doing.

These situations sort of remind me of what's happening all around us.
We see bullies making fun of people and verbally abusing others but we stand around as if we're oblivious to it.
I understand that sometimes the situations pose a threat to you but I don't think that we should just keep quiet when others are in trouble.
Even my own parents tell me to stay out of trouble and not get involved in anything that's not my problem.

This perception in many just shows how people are becoming more and more uncivilised.

I'm sure some of you have witnessed uncomfortable situations where you see something wrong being done but you never did anything to stop it.
I'm pretty sure that you felt guilty about not acting upon it and you keep beating yourself over it.

Have you been verbally abused before by people?
Even if it was a joke.
You can relate, don't you?

Jokes which makes fun of people and hurt their feelings are not jokes.
They are plain abusive words.

People who call themselve civilised people should think before they make 'jokes'.
I definitely know a few of those 'civilised people'.

Just a small reminder.

Chao.

The Chase

2009-02-15T18:04:00.005+08:00

Guten Tag.

I'm feeling pretty depressed for no apparent reason.

I just hit something that could be a topic for today's post.

The Chase.

Girls like being chased and guys like the chase.
That's the general conception.

I did some researching and here's what I found...
It's a piece of advice.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Don't give up, persistence can pay off! Don't be a stalker mind you. But I have found it true that women often like to be 'pursued' to certain degree. They find it appealing that someone goes out of their way just to be in their company, it makes them feel 'special', and if you can make her feel special she is as good as yours! :) Don't do anything creepy like follow her around in the shadows or park next to her car and pretend you didn't. But just let her know consistently that you ARE interested specifically in her. Give it some time, if she appreciates or wants your attention she will eventually let you know. And if she does not respond after a considerable amount of time it may be wise to look elsewhere. Many girls pretend not to be interested because it secretly entertains them to see you lose your 'cool' in their behalf, again it makes them feel special. But don't give up, you never know until you know.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I find this very true.
Sometimes, I wonder why guys keep up the persuit even though the girl doesn't show any interest.
I'm speaking from personal experience.
Every girl is different.
Some like the chase but some rather not get involved in it.

Again, I would like to stress upon the subject of puppy love.
How is it that a person can like/love another when they've spoken less than 10 words to each other?
I simply can't comprehend it.

I don't believe in love at first sight so mushy lovey dovey stuff really isn't my field of expertise.

I'm going to stop here before I start whining. xD

Chao.

PS ~> Thank you to my mum for her Valentine'd Day present. Chocolates... She says I'm growing fat and then gives me chocolate! Where is the sense in that!?

Difference between V Day and Valentine's Day

2009-02-13T18:09:00.005+08:00

Guten Tag.

It's a day before Valentine's Day and I have no wish to blog anything about it.
Too much hype over it that it actually deserves.
Yeah yeah, call me an old hag.

Did you know?
V-Day is a global movement to end violence against women and girls.

Most individuals rather focus on Valentine's Day instead of realising that there's another side where V Day plays an important role.

No, of course not.
Everyone's crazy over Valentine's Day these days.
Flowers, chocolates, gifts...
Completely overrated.

I've turned into somewhat of a feminist, I think.
I'm not against the male race.
I just don't trust them.

You know where things just happen one too many times and at one point you just decide to cut yourself off from the problem until you're well enough to handle it?
I don't know what to do with it so I'm dealing with it the way that I find easiest.

An advice to some :
When the person doesn't show any interest in you, give up. It's not going to happen and never will.

Chao.

Guten Tag.

It's been a while since I've updated. I finally found something worth blogging about.
Well, maybe. :)
Have you ever dared to write down something amazingly dumb yet funny in your exam paper?
A penpal introduced me to a site once and I've long forgotten about it until I read something similarly common today.

I still remember the day when I wrote down "April's Fool" in my Sivik test paper when the question asked what happened in Malaysia on the 1st of April. Tee hee hee!

Rest in Peace

2009-01-24T07:24:00.005+08:00

Guten Tag.
Hello guys.

It's a sad morning to start the day with.
My grandfather passed away two days ago.
3 days before Chinese New Year.

It's a horrible thought because even though we didn't have that close relationship, I was still looking forward to see him during the family reunion.

My sister woke me up in the middle of the night to inform me about it but I didn't pay much attention because I thought I heard wrong.

I think there were some signs before he passed away.
I didn't care about buying new clothes this year.
He kept asking my aunts and uncles when were they going to come back to visit him.
He crossed off every date starting from January 1st until the 23rd. There were two calenders. He only crossed off number '23' on one calender but he didn't tear off the '23rd January' paper on the other calender like he did with the rest..

He really wanted to celebrate this CNY so somehow we're going to find a way to spend it with him tomorrow.

It just makes me realise that you don't miss people until they're really gone.
Cherish those that are with you. Especially during this Chinese New Year. =)

Chao.

Worries & Responsibilities

2009-01-21T23:12:00.004+08:00

Guten Tag.

The first month of January is almost gone now and most of us have the days packed with tons of activities!
Tuition classes to go to, responsibilities to attend to, homeworks piling up before you as you sit her reading this miserable post.

It's tough to find the time for everything these days.
I finally corrected my money order and will be sending the forms in tomorrow.
Or maybe the day after tomorrow.
I hate procrastinating.

I heard about the attack of a Croatian lecturer Dr Andelko Simic from my sister this afternoon.
He's a lecturer in one of her classes, you see.

I find this matter really appalling. A report on Malay Mail online confirms that KL is definitely unsafe these days.
I don't even dare to step a foot out of the house in the bright sunny afternoon, much less once the Sun sets.
People can hardly ever go out for a walk in the evening anymore these days without running into some kind of trouble or worrying that they would.

What do you think?

Talk to you guys some time soon.
Chinese New Year is in 5 days but it seems so much far away with all the hay-wire activities around me.

Chao. =)

Sick & Tired

2009-01-17T22:33:00.006+08:00

Guten Tag.

It's Saturday.
Well, what's left of it anyway.

The day went on quite well.
Spent the day in school wandering around, typing letters, colour coordinating marbles...

After hours of thinking, I've decided that I'm done trying.
I'm done trying to fit in with the gang.
All the differences seem too hard to overcome when only one party is doing all the work.

No open house for Chinese New Year.
I'm done with all the crap.
No more fake persona just to put up with your so-called-friendships.
What is the point?
What's the point of spending CNY with people you're not even close with?
I might as well invite strangers into my home.

Chao.

Satisfaction never felt so good

2009-01-15T17:15:00.006+08:00

Guten Tag.

It's been a few days since that EcoCharity post and I've made progress!
Another step to fulfill my new year resolution!
Have I ever told you guys that this is the first ever new year resolution I've fulfilled?
Look! Click to see. :)

And another one!
This is similar to FreeRice, only that it's specifically for children!

Now, have any of you been helping with this EcoCharity work?
I hope so. =)

Thank you and chao!
The next post will be posted soon.

Every man for himself

2009-01-12T15:19:00.004+08:00

Guten Tag.

This has been lingering on my mind for quite some time but I never wanted to express it really.
As friends go their different way, they tend to grow apart and that's exactly what happened.

I find my mind blank on topics to talk about when I saw my friends today and it dawned on me that things will just get worse when we graduate.

I'm not close with many even if it might look that way.
I guess the situation feels more severe when you actually realise it.
All that while you think that you're a part of that big bunch of good friends and in the end, you see yourself bring put aside for something else that was more important to them.

It really makes you think again.
About your priorities.
About your life.
About who you call your friends.
And about everything that matters.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that not everyone can be your friend forever.
I try to get the friendship to work but sometimes when the other party doesn't take the effort to do the same thing, I guess that friendship is doomed to fail.

All I'm trying to say is that people should pay attention to their surroundings and just observe.
Everyone's caught up in their own little lifes to notice what's going on around them.

As goes the saying,
Men are not against you; they are merely for themselves.

Chao. =)

EcoCharity : FreeRice

2009-01-11T13:38:00.004+08:00

Guten Tag.
An EcoCharity post!
I will be posting EcoCharity posts as I call them from time to time. =D

These days, there's quite a number of activities and cases where people are encouraged to do good for the environment.

Supermarkets and shopping malls are promoting the use of grocery bags instead of plastic bags.
Websites to help save the environment have been popping up.

However, it seems like not many of us are aware of them.
We just brush them off as minor details as we are oh-so-very-busy everyday.

One of my New Year Resolutions this year is to be more environmental conscious and do more charity work so here I am to do my part.

FreeRice!
FreeRice is simply a website committed to the cause of ending hunger around the world. While it is not a registered non-profit organization, FreeRice is run entirely for free and at no profit. All money (100%) raised by the site goes to the UN World Food Program to help feed the hungry. Sponsors make all payments to the UN World Food Program directly.

The rice you donate makes a huge difference to the person who receives it. According to the United Nations, about 25,000 people die each day from hunger or hunger-related causes, most of them children. Though 20 grains of rice may seem like a small amount, it is important to remember that while you are playing, so are thousands of other people at the same time. It is everyone together that makes the difference. FreeRice has generated enough rice to feed more than two million people since it started in October 2007.

All you have to do is go to FreeRice and play word games!
Easy huh?

There's even different subjects to choose from so you learn new words,geography facts and even languages as you help earn free rice!

By playing FreeRice, you can :

Help end world hunger
Formulate your ideas better
Write better papers, emails and business letters
Speak more precisely and persuasively
Comprehend more of what you read
Read faster because you comprehend better
Get better grades in high school, college and graduate school
Be more effective and successful at your job

I really hope you guys would take part in this to help.
Thank you.

Chao!

Changes

2009-01-05T17:59:00.003+08:00

Guten Tag. :)

Guess what just hit me.
The fact that I've changed.
And no, I'm not talking about physical changes.
And I'm not going into my weight issues. xP

A new year and a new day in school.
How's everyone feeling after attending school for the first time in quite some time?

Everything was pretty hectic in the first few hours this morning.
Assembly was a mess.
Plans.
You make them but they never go as smoothly as you want them to go.

Spent the rest of the day hanging out with Sue Fyenn and Lester.
Scribbling tic-tac-toe on Lester's arm while Lester reads chick porn out LOUD.
Yes, chick porn.
Loooooong story.
I still cringe at the thoughts.
Feel free to ask Sue Fyenn all about it.

Now, back to my point.
Changes!
I realise that I'm not as vain as I used to be.
I used to care just a little too much about my appearance.
And the funny way I walk and the taunts didn't help much either.
I realise that I'm way past it these days.
It's just not worth fussing over every little detail anymore.

Not much of a change, but change IS change.
It doesn't matter how insignificant it is but you get my point. :)

Another different change all together, I've stopped cursing. =)
I might curse once in a while under my breath.
But at least I don't say them out loud anymore these days.

What a good post to end my day with.
I'm so glad I have you guys...
My fellow blog readers to drop by once in a while to read my blabbers.
Thank you very much. =)
Danke schön!

Is it me or am I feeling overly emotional?

Chao. =)

I am completely sane

2009-01-03T19:51:00.003+08:00

Guten Tag.

I couldn't think of anything to post about so here is a snippet of my conversation with a friend or two.

It all started pretty sane.
And it ended up, not-so-sane.

Once upon a time,

Me : Yes. I live in a place where there's 30 hours a day.
Friend #1 : Ahh I thoughts so! And I suppose you also have strawberry flavoured rain, and all the flowers are made of candy.
Me : Oh yes! And we have edible dirt too!
Friend #1 : And this place would happen to be a Chocolate Factory would it? Are you an Oompa Loompa? O_O
Me : No, those little Oompa Loompas are my slaves.
Friend #1 : Ooo you are Johnny Depp in disguise!
Me : *nods* Tell no one. You talk, you die.
Friend #2 : LMAO!!! you two are nuts!
Me : Thank you! =D *points gun at Friend #2* I repeat, no one.
Friend #1 : *runs off to make an ad telling eveyone* te he he!
Me : Bang! *Friend #1 falls down the stairs, snapped his neck and down into a blackhole*

And it ended happily ever after.

Chao =)

Development & Alteration

2009-01-02T17:53:00.004+08:00

Guten Tag.

According to an article in The Star newspaper today, we should refrain from making new year resolutions as research shows that it causes unnecessary stress and low esteem.
As if I need more of those.

Instead, we should focus on doing something for the community and environment!
Boy, am I feeling active or what!?

Therefore, here I am altering my new year resolutions.

german wannabe's not-so-ginormously-long-anymore 2009 new year resolutions

8.) Get involved in charity/Amnesty International Malaysia.
14.) Save money.
15.) Be environmental conscious.

My remaining new year resolutions.
I can feel the stress level going down already!
The wonders of cutting down on your new year resolutions!
Wonderful really!

New development in life : I started working on the scholarship application form. Finally!!!

Chao!!

A New Day

2009-01-01T19:32:00.003+08:00

Guten Tag. :)

It's New Year's Day.
And I'm sitting here all by myself.
While my family went out shopping.
Despite the fact that I'm home alone,
I love the fact that I have the whole house to myself.
I can blast music all I want and there's no one around to scream at me to turn the blasted thing down.
Hehehe.

Approximately 3 days left before everyone returns to school.
I can't say that I'm jumping for joy
However, the fact that I get to see everyone again isn't all that bad either.

Like Sue Fyenn said yesterday,

Leticia is practically radiating optimism right from her skin because she wants
to start the new year with positive thoughts.

Everyone seems to be dreading to go back to school and face the big, bad SPM.
I'm determined to start the year with optimism and who knows,
maybe it's impact just a little bit on 2009.

How did you spend your New Year's Day?
Talk to me via the chatbox.
It's awfully lonely.

Chao. =)

I have finally decided to think up a couple of new year resolutions.

german wannabe's ginormously long 2009 new year resolutions

1.) Stop procrastinating & study like a freak to pass all my exams.
2.) Get a scholarship for the student exchange program.
3.) Lose weight.
4.) Be more feminine.
5.) Stop cursing.
6.) Be less of a meanie.
7.) Be less stingy.
8.) Get involved in charity/Amnesty International Malaysia.
9.) Get my driver license or make Sue Fyenn my driver.
10.) Stop making myself depressed on purpose.
11.) Start being kinder to guys.
12.) Spend less time online.
13.) Stop getting infatuated with Jackson Rathbone/Draco Malfoy/the Cullens/European guys. xD
14.) Save money.
15.) Be environmental conscious.

PS~>

As some of you may notice, I added a new column to the blog.

Spy Cam.

I never knew a big part of my blog visitors were non-Malaysians. xD

Chao. :)

Moving On

2008-12-30T18:49:00.004+08:00

Guten Tag©.

Now, guess what day it is.
Tuesday.
You guess right!
It is also the day of doom for many.
The day that reveals their fate for the next year!
The day that determines where they might go in life!
It's the day where all the Form 3 students of Malaysia face their parents with their result papers.
Low quality papers, I might add.
I mean, c'mon!
The least they can do after putting students through months of becoming close buddies with textbooks is hand out high quality result papers!

This leads me to the topic of the day.
Moving on.

Some of them may not have achieved what they had set out for but in the end, it's about sucking it up and moving on with your life.

Many of us tend to dwell and lament over our past problems.
What we fail to see or want to face is that they are the past.
I guess it's always easier to wonder and despair over these petty matters rather than look towards the future because we're afraid of what we would face then.

School starts in 6 days.
A new year.
A new experience.
And hopefully a great one.

I'm going to stop looking at the negative side of 2009 (such as the dreaded SPM) and focus on the positive.

There's nothing like optimism these days. =D

Chao©!

PS~> Dearie Suefs, my trademark greeting and ending note are copyrighted so no stealing.

Leticia ALWAYS have proof !!!

2008-12-28T21:32:00.006+08:00

Guten Tag.

Whoa, I can almost hear the cheering and 'hallelujah''s being thrown about right now.
As some of you may notice, there has been a lack of- alright sorry, NO update since my last post on my letter to Santa.

Go ahead, throw your stinking poo-covered slippers at me or something.
I feel bad for neglecting this blog right now.
Yeah, I was feeling content with letting it rot a few days ago.
No, I didn't just say that.

Moving on from the subject of your slippers, this post has been taking a short while to be published because of several complications which I would not name.
In short form, none of your bleedin' business.

Basically, I went to Port Dickson a week ago and as usual, there's nothing to do there other than stroll along the white, sandy beaches and enjoy the view of the crystal clear waters sparkling in the rays of the Sun.

The hotel that we stayed at had its' own little bowling alley and we decided to drop by and play a game or two.

My first and only game for that day even though we paid for two games.
Explanation for that coming soon.
Keep reading.

Game #1

Uhm..yeah.

This is where I decided to stop sweeping the drain and let my mum take over.

The ending scores.
My name has been replaced with 'Mum Extraordinaire'.

Game #2

My brother ended his game with my dad and came over to our lane to play.
He took my place and started on his losing streak.
He was playing just fine before this.
This proves that the alley is cursed.
*nods*

Next!
Did you know that it snowed in Malaysia on Christmas Day?
You didn't know that, now did you?

That's why you sad, lost kids read my blog.
I'm your source of knowledge!
The shining light in your life!
Or in Malay, pelita hidup.
Your hanging place! (Not literally though)
Or in Malay, tempat bergantung.

Well, let me explain.
My dad, mum and I went to Midvalley Megamall on the 25th and somewhere during the afternoon, it starting snowing.

I have proof!!!

See.
What did I tell ya?
Need I say more?

The 'snow' was actually little clumped bubbles sprayed from the top floor.
They do look like snow, don't they?

Safe to say that the place stank of dishwashing liquid minutes later.

That's all Leticia has to say at the moment.
Enjoy the remaining of your holidays and Happy Belated Christmas!

PS~> 8 days of freedom left.
*falls down to knees, sobbing uncontrollably*

Chao!

Dear Santa

2008-12-18T19:10:00.009+08:00

Dear Santa,
How are you and Mrs. Clause? I hope the both of you are in the pink. You hadn't been up to anything naughty in between last year and this year, now have you? Millions of children like me are looking forward to your presents to us this Christmas. I hope you've been watching your cookie and candy intake. No one wants to wake up to find Santa dead under their christmas tree. Just a thought. I know that I have been not-so-nice this year. Admittance is always the first step, right? That's why I think you should put me in the 'Nice' category. Besides, I believe that you exist. I definitely deserve brownie points for that.

Anyways, all I want for this Christmas is as follows.
I believe that my demands are fairly simple.

german wannabe's x-mas list

1.) Tom Kaulitz
I know that human trafficking is illegal but you're Santa! You can do anything, so please please please leave Tomi boy under my Christmas tree.

2.) The Cullens
I also know that they are fictional but again, you ARE Santa. Make it happen. I promise I won't make them bite me. *cough*

3.) Jackson Rathbone
I'm sure that Sue Fyenn wants him too but I asked first.

4.) A rabbit
Any rabbit. As long as it breathes, eats, and shits. Well, if you could find a shitless one, mum would forever thank you.

PS~> I left out some cookies for you. Sorry, I ran out of milk. I'll leave you two glasses next Christmas.

Pandemonium

2008-12-17T22:09:00.005+08:00

Guten Tag.
It's means 'good day' if you don't know by now.

I certainly am not having one.
If you didn't notice, I haven't been around online for a few days.
Why?
My little brother and my cousin had been playing around in the room when I wasa using the computer.
They crashed onto the table and accidentally pulled the plug off.
The computer refused to operate properly and the programs went about in circles after that.
Now that it's fixed, all my precious files are...you've guess it.

My hundreds of songs.
Written stories.
Important programs.
Stubborn softwares that take a decade to download.
Mr. Limewire.
Miss Frostwire.

And not to forget,
All my Twilight & Tokio Hotel avatars/pictures/banners/animations that took me months to collect.

At least there's one thing I won't miss.
Mr. Virus.

Dear Generic Trojan Horse,
Goodbye.
And good riddance.

Christmas is coming!
Are you in the christmassy mood yet?
Christmas related post tomorrow!

Chao. =)

Crabby Day

2008-12-14T01:20:00.003+08:00

Guten Tag.

Tis' my little brother's 11th birthday.
Wish you a Happy Birthday online,kid.
Even though I banned you from going online.

Anyways, we went to a seafood restaurant tonight and ordered crabs.
Oh-so-yummy-yet-pain-inducing crabs!
One of the crabs made me bleed.
Payback, my dad calls it for eating the crab.
For some reason, I ALWAYS injure myself when eating crabs.
Oh well..

3 ways of eating crabs
1.) Chopsticks
2.) Fingers
3.) Hands

Method 1
My dad's method. He ate crabs using chopsticks.
No idea how he manages it.
I can't even grip food properly using them, for God's sake!

Method 2
My method.
Simple.
Relatively clean.

Method 3
My brother, Darren's method.
Very simple.
Very messy & caveman-ish.

Basically when eating crabs, table manners become table madness.
Now, you don't think that I was going to talk about crabs all day, now did you?

Today is particularly frustrating.
Inspirations don't come easily when in frustration.

All you get is crabby crab talk.
Sorry.

Chao. :)

Picture Perfect

2008-12-11T16:45:00.011+08:00

Little things

2008-12-02T18:32:00.007+08:00

Guten Tag!

The good things in life.
Have you thought of what they are?

I was eating some rice that my mum and little brother bought and I stared at the corns and peas.
Even though I'm a 'vegetable' person, I'm not much of a 'peas and corns' person.
My little brother didn't know that.

He brought me my pack of rice and told me that he picked out the side dishes for me himself.
I guess he knew that I like vegetables and decided to put scoop in as much of them possible.

Even though we're not particularly fond of each other and quarrel just about everyday, this simple act of his made me realise that he does care and I should give him more credit than I do now.

Same thing with my sister.

Basically, all I'm trying to say is that sometimes we don't notice the little things that people do for us in life.
Sometimes they do it without realising but when they do, they hold onto the hope that maybe you would notice.

In other news, I'm going to Penang tomorrow.
I hadn't been planning to go swimming since I hadn't particularly been watching what I stuff my face with for these past few months.
Mum told me my little wittle cousins will be wanting to drop by the pool side and guess who's the baby sitter?

My sister, who's the oldest child on my mum's side wouldn't be going since she has class and since I'm the second oldest, I guess I was the obvious choice.
I am dreading to wear my swim suit. A two-piece swim suit.
Gah! I hate insecurities.

There ain't no magic to eliminate fat overnight.
I wish there is. xD

Moving on, I have 5 hours left to sleep. Hmph.
Research says that sleeping burns fat.
I doubt it will burn off 5kg off m by tomorrow.
Scientists should really put more research into burning fat overnight rather than trying to find life on Mars.
Seriously, do we need more Martians on Earth?
Martians = Male species.

Moving on again, my not-so-young brother and I were talking about cutting each others body parts off yesterday at Tesco. (violence is a common subject betwen us)
I contributed "head" and he said "leg" before adding, "testicle".
I was like, "Wha-! Where did you learn that word!?"
"On tv!" he replied.

I guess my younger brother isn't so young anymore.
I prefer talking to him when he was a tiny little tot.
He used to argue less.
Easier to control and manipulate too.

Nowadays, he's just a brat.
Did I mention that he locked me out of the house today? Twice!
Pesky little freak.

Note :
I still don't have a dress to wear.
I'm still a Twilight fan.
I need to lose weight. Major problem.

Chao.
Talk to you guys in two /three days time.

PS~> Sue Fyenn, don't fall off the cliff in Genting.

Don't be 'the idiot'

2008-11-28T21:47:00.010+08:00

Guten Tag.

How many of you have gotten irritated and angry at movie goers?
I definitely have.

Do you remember walking out of the cinema, all the while cursing 'the idiot' that distracted you from the movie?
We shall go into that today.

Rules that are on immediate effect once the lights go off in the cinema

#1) No talking
Your eyes darted around the screen as the hero of the movie twists and turn. "No no no! Run! Run!" The idiot next to you started talking to himself or perhaps to the person next to him. You considered punching the lights out of the idiot toshut him up. Whispering at intervals are alright but continuous yapping is just intolerable. Unless you want to be the target practice of popcorn throwing and be 'the idiot', shut up.

#2) No handphones
You're watching a movie, it gets to the best part and you lean forward to make sure you get every detail of the movie. Ringgg!!! You shot a murderous look at the idiot and totally missed the whole scene. Then the idiot flipped open his phone and started babbling away. The light from his phon distracts you from the movie throughtout the movie. Remember the handphone advertisement that reminds the audience to switch off their handphones? Obey that. Don't be 'the idiot'.

#3) No kicking
You are sitting in your chair, watching the movie peacefully and enjoying every bit of it. Kick! You felt the person sitting behnd you kick your chair. You ignore it as an accident and continue watching. Kick! Maybe just another accident. Kick! This is where you turn around and tell 'the idiot' off.

#4) No PDA
You're watching a particularly romantic moment in the movie and look around uncomfortably. The couple sitting next to you snuggled up and started smooching their head off. The scene passes and they were still at it. All the unpleasant sounds started drifting to your ears. You clear your throat loud enough for them to hear it but they ignored it. You force yourself to concentrate on the screen and end up missing half of the movie. The movie ends and you realised that you should have accidentally smacked their head when they were at it.

#5) No handling plastic bags
You sit there,staring at the screen in awe at all the special effects put into the movie. Creeesshh!
You look away to find the source of the sound. Somewhere nearby, an idiot rustles throw a plastic bag looking for something. Sighing, you turn back to the screen, only to find out that the scene had changed.

#6) No smelly food
The lights go off and you tuck yourself into your seat as the screen lights up. A faint smell of food drifted to you and you wrinkled your nose at the horrid smell. 'Ugh! Which idiot brings garlic food to a movie?!' , you thought.

#7) Don't be late
The movie jumps to the action-packed scene and a bunch of people started blocking your view of the screen, trying to get to their seats. They wandered along the path, whining about not being able to find their seats. You moved around your seat trying to get a view of the screen before you miss even more. They finally settled down and you stare at th screen blankly, wondering what had just happened in the movie. "All because of those idiots." you mumbled to yourself quietly.

#8) No babies
'Wahhhhh!' You turn around to see a couple cradling a baby, trying to put the baby to sleep. The baby started crying when the volume got louder. Then again when a car blew up! And again whn a shot was fired! Throughout the movie, the baby's crying distracted you and got you all riled up until you couldn't pay attention. Why do parents bring their babis to the cinema? It's not as if the little tot could comprehend what he is watching. Only idiots would bring their babies into a cinema.

#9) No giggly children
Bang! The villian's head blew up and blood spattered all over the place. Hehehehehe! The kid beside you started giggling and squealing away. Five minutes later... Still giggling. At this point, you contemplate whether the parents are around to see you smash the kid's face off.

#10) No sleeping/snoring
You sat in your seat and all of a sudden, you feel someone's head on your shoulder. Your eyes widen and you see the person next to you sleeping. He slumped towards you and ended up with his head on your shoulder. You nudged him with your shoulder and he just grunted inaudibly before settling back to sleep. In a different scenario, you were completely immersed in the movie and you heard a weird sound coming from the person beside you. The person snorted loudly out of the blue and you find yourself jumping a foot off your seat in surprise.

Moral of the story : Don't be 'the idiot'.
Note : I do not promote violence. I call it justice. xD

Chao!

Twilight Craze

2008-11-28T20:50:00.002+08:00

Guten Tag!!!

I've watched Twilight three and a half times now. xD

To get all the bloodsucking details of the movie, head HERE to Debbie's blog.
Debbie is my sister, eff-wai-ai.

Sorry about the not-existent bloggage these days.
Inspirations are hard to come by when Twilight is all you can obsess over.
Unless you want a ten-page description of every scene and line in the movie, I'm staying clear off the subject.

Sue Fyenn, Edward's face is NOT flat. He is droolicious. Yup. xD
And Jasper is one fineeee piece of..ahem..Yeah. xD

Chao, for now. =)

Tuai Lite

2008-11-27T15:44:00.003+08:00

Guten Tag!

Twilight Twilight Twilight.
What is all the craze about?
I've watched the movie twice so far and truthfully, the movie is good but not great.
I guess when you expect something and it doesn't really play out as well as you want it to, you end up disappointed.

New Moon, which is the sequel to Twilight is announced to be filmed starting from March next year.
Now that is something to look forward to other than the obvious, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince movie.

I know I said I would post spoilers for you guys, but I'm too lazy nowadays.
So...go watch Twilight yourself. xD

Chao.

Watch Twilight Online for Free

2008-11-26T16:22:00.001+08:00

Guten Abend.

Want to watch Twilight online for free?
I found the right link.

IM me or email.
I don't need people coming after me with charges of copyright infringement or whatever.

Chao!

Fitting in & blending in are two totally seperate matters

2008-11-23T19:03:00.007+08:00

Guten Tag!

I absolutely hate hate HATE it when people ignore me.
I also hate hate HATE feeling pressured.

As some of you may have received a message from Kelly about me accepting Christ, it is true but everytime after I do something like this, the feeling of doubt and uncertainty would creep up after a while.

I have been tagged by Sue Fyenn to blog about this so, here I go.

What am I blogging about?

" I tag whoever who reads this to type about how you really feel towards your friends. "

So..where do I begin?

In primary school, I never felt like I fit in quite well.
I had two 'close' friends then, #1 and #2.

Both have always had the larger than life attitude.
This may come as a surprise for many but I used to be generally quiet and shy-mannered.
There are inverted commas on the word 'close' because even though they were closer to me than my other friends, they never seemed to share much of what they talk about with me.

You could say that I was the third wheel in the friendship.
I tried to involve myself in whatever they participate in during those days.
Be it...dancing,singing,acting or choral speaking.
I was never comfortable entering these activities but I guess I tried so hard to fit in into the group because if I don't, there wasn't going to be anyone else to hang out with.

After UPSR, the next big step was high school.
#1 moved to another state and #2 went to a different school.
Me?
I guess at that point I had to go my own way too.
I settled on trying to join another 'group'.
Which group? I need not say as you already know which.
I took me a while to fit in (well, I thought I did) and after a year, I was happy to tag along.
I never told a soul about how obsessive I was to find someone else that really connected with me.
Believe me, my diary has suffered quite a lot during those two first years.

Anyways, hanging out with the group took little more effort than I expected.
I still remember one of the days where we decided to go out together and hang out in a mall.
Once there, everyone paired up to talk about something.
Guess who was the one left out.
I'm not trying to create a pity party for myself but that's how I see it I guess.
I tried my best not to feel left out but that's exactly how I felt.
Forgive me if this sounds selfish.

Well, since we've been seperated into different classes this year, it seems like the gap between everyone grew even bigger. It feel harder to connect with one another.
The group will be discussing excitedly about something and I would be wondering what they were talking about.

It definitely isn't a pleasant feeling to feel excluded.
That is life I guess.
Challenges and everything.

You know the saying,
Friends come and go.
Well, it is very true.
They have come and gone.
Till today, I doubt that I would still be in contact with certain friends if we were to fast forward to the next decade or two.

After reading Sue Fyenn's post, I find that I really should stop trying to hard to fit in too.
A faint memory of Lester's post about true friends beings me to the conclusion that true friendship does not require you to change for your friends.

Finally, I would just like to thank some of my friends who have been there for me when I need them and thank you for listening. You guys are such awesome people that I feel like I don't deserve to know you guys. =)

To name a few,
Sue Fyenn
Kelly
Maria
Lester
Brian

Chao. =)

PS~> Twilight spoilers will be posted tomorrow. It seems hardly appropriate to post about it today.

Random Chatters & Previews

2008-11-23T00:27:00.003+08:00

Guten Tag!

Almost everyone around me these days are in a Twilight crazed mood.
Well, considering the fact that 'everyone' is from all over the world since all I do these days is stare at the computer screen, typing away while chatting with acquaintences online.

As some of you may know, my sister managed to grab 2 preview tickets to watch Twilight a day earlier than it is to be released in Malaysia.
I am obviously ecstatic about this. =)

I spent most of my time hanging around a Harry Potter sit called HEX while reading Twilight.
Yes, I found Eclipse and Breaking Dawn online.
Book piracy.

Anyways, I lurk around HEX and look for spoilers for the upcoming Twilight movie
What are spoilers, you ask?

Definition of spoiler on the web:
A spoiler is a summary or description of a narrative (or part of a narrative) that relates plot elements not revealed early in the narrative itself.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler (media)

Capiche?

So far, there has been either cyber-screaming about how awesome the movie was or cyber-whining about how a disappointment it was.
I am not particularly sure which one I would side with but I think I would b siding with the positive comments.

I can never be a movie critic.
Even if I watch a sucky movie, I'd think that it was a good movie.
Yeah, I'm that bad...

Sue Fyenn ~~ordered~~ encouraged me to update my blog minutes ago.
That is why I'm posting such a crappy post.
Her crappiness has rubbed off on me.
Blame it on Sue Fyenn.

Leticia is unaccountable for any of the crappiness here.

Chao!

PS~> Spoilers for Twilight coming soon in the next post! You have been warned, for those who doesn't want to know the details. =)

Lightheartedness

2008-11-20T13:36:00.002+08:00

Guten Tag.

Christmas is coming!
Yeah, I'm trying to find something to look forward to.
Chinese New Year is approaching too!
I'm in a relatively good mood right now so I've decided to show you guys some of the things I've encountered online accidentally these days.

Cute huh?

You guys should yap more at the chatbox.

It's awfully lonely.

Chao.

Morbidly Twisted

2008-11-18T02:07:00.008+08:00

I am twisted.
I don't really know why.

I do everything I can to get myself depressed.

Yeah, that's how sick I am.

Depressing and sad songs..
Depressing and sad stories..
Depressing and sad memories..

See the colour of these words?
Aren't they just the polar opposite of what I feel?
Well, that's my demeanour I guess.
A facade.

Chao.

Different

2008-11-16T20:20:00.005+08:00

Guten Tag.

The 'e' key on my keyboard refuses to work sometimes so if you see a word with a missing 'e', it's not my fault.
You have been warned.

How is everyone feeling today?
I am feeling rather guilty and bored right now.
Mixed feelings really.

I had an inspiration just now.
It came at the weirdest time but we shall not ponder on it.
If you really must know, the thought came to me while I was bathing.
Yeah, I ponder on life a lot when I'm bathing.
BUT, we shall not go into detail about those things.

Different.
What does the word mean to you?
Let me use my oh-so-grand internet skills to find the literal meaning.
Using dictionaries are just so outdated these days.
If you sense my sarcasm.

Definitions of different on the Web:
Different is the first studio album of Belgian singer Kate Ryan.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Different (Kate Ryan album)

Oh no, sorry. That's not the intended meaning I was trying to project.
Aha! Here it is.

* unlike in nature or quality or form or degree;
* differing from all others; not ordinary;
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

I tend to digress a lot these days.

Look at yourself.
See yourself from a different person's point of view.
Are you all that different?
Are you?

Everyone strives to be different from every other person.
Sometimes even without realising so.
We want to be the different one.
The one that stands out from the rest of the bunch.
Something that tells us apart from the rest.

It isn't an easy task though.
As I semi-quote from a famous phrase,
Many talk the talk but they don't really walk the walk.
Do you?

Then again, you ask me.
What if I don't want to be different?
What if I just want to be another person in the crowd?
I say.
Do you really want to be the one who flits pass unnoticed by anyone?
The one that no one remembers after a decade?

Now ask yourself again.
Are you different?
I'm sure you can find that answer within you.

Chao. =)

Post Mortem

2008-11-09T22:10:00.004+08:00

Guten Tag.

I'm currently at one of the many Starbucks coffee branches.
Genting Highland had never been so boring.

Day #1 Genting Highland trip tips

1.) Bring nose plugs when visiting Snow World. The jackets are rotting away with the constant use but lack of washing.
2.) Bring loads of money. Shortage of money = limited activities/ less fun & craziness.
3.) Dress for a harsh, cold winter when walking outside at night. It is freezing out there.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Now, I'm already back fron the trip and from what I gathered in Suef's post in hr blog, several creepy events happened but none to me so, I'm thankful. =)

This trip had it's ups and downs.
Nothing is ever perfect, even though you want it to be.
I have several complaints but I guess I better keep it to myself.
All in all, I rate the trip a 5/10.

Trips are so much more fun when gone in small groups or with your family.
Less frustrations,waiting and moody people.

Chao. More qualitied rambles later on.

Shadowed Excitements and Unhealthy Expectations

2008-11-07T16:59:00.004+08:00

Guten Tag.

Yesterday and the day before sucked.

I shall not whine about it here.

Anyways, let's get right down and dirty. Well, maybe not the latter one.

I am so thrilled that I'm going on a short yet great [I hope] holiday tomorrow.
It will be together with friends s that is definitely a + point.
I can't figure out what to bring.
All i know is to pack light.
Something I'm not really good at because I tend to pack more than I know I will need.
There must be some type of disorder for this behaviour.
I should get packing now.
I have a trip to Tesco later to buy som junk to stuff my face with tomorrow. =)
We'll be taking the Genting Skyway Cable Car and I am definitly not fond of heights.
Someone please save me!!!

Chao! Until I return...

Plans and Randomness

2008-11-05T19:55:00.002+08:00

Guten Tag!

The exams are finally over and I have several plans in hand.

1.) Start writing again.
2.) Lose some weight.
3.) Cut my hair.
4.) Read more novels.
5.) Buy Galaxie Mag.

Yeah, not exactly exciting but these are what I actually look forward to. I'm pathetic, aren't I?
Most people rather louge at home,vegetating in front of the idiot box but I rather sit in front of the computer typing away or poking my nose into some novels.

Talk about writing, I'm losing my touch. I've discontinued my current story in-writing because it was too cliched and it doesn't flow very well.

I don't feel like talking much right now. Blame my hormones. It's going crazy.
I'm going crazy.

Chao!

Internet Addiction and Obsessions

2008-10-27T02:47:00.003+08:00

Guten Tag.

I'm addicted.
Totally crazy and obsessed over using the internet.
Look what time it is now.
I need more self-control.
I measured my weight today.
49kg.
I'm up by 4kg.

I spent yesterday in front of the computer.
Literally staring into the bright screen, clicking away from 8am to 1am today.
Then again at 9am today.

I shall go off to edit the codes on my to-be-latest layout to celebrate the coming festivities.
No, not Deepavali.
I shall give you a clue ; Trick or Treat!

Chao!

First Impressions and Stereotypes

2008-10-23T20:53:00.004+08:00

Guten Tag.
I have been having German dreams these day, dreams about Tokio Hotel.
Oh boy, probably due to the latest Tokio Hotel news. they're releasing a new album soon.

Pondering on whether I should bribe my sister into using her credit card to help me get the albums [including two previous ones] through the internet.

Yes, TH albums are not available in Malaysia.
If you see anything Tokio Hotel related in any magazine, contact me a.s.a.p.! Even if the article or picture is smaller than your pinky finger!

Onto other news, today's topic will be about first impressions!
What can you gauge about a person from the first impressions?
Many say that first impressions are everything.
They are what a person sums up to.

I used to believe so because everyone said so.
Well, I give up trying to follow what people dictate.

When you really think of it, you can't possibly label a person through first impressions.
This is just like stereotyping.
People stereotype all the time without even realising it.

I say those that stereotype others should be labelled as stereotypes themselves.

Have you ever stared at yourself in the mirror and look at yourself properly?
Asked yourself who you really are?
Stereotyped yourself?
Put yourself in their shoes.
Try it and think about what others label you as.

Time to run!
Biology and Maths beckon for my attention.
Not really.
My kiasu-ness did.

Tschüss, meine Freunde!

8 down, 16 more to go.

2008-10-17T14:05:00.005+08:00

Guten Tag.

8 down, 16 more to go.

It is official.
I officially trashed my Chemistry and Physics Paper 2.
I'm so disappointed with myself.
Well, there's History next week.
I have a feeling that it'll have a sad ending too.

It is 2.55 AM on a very early Saturday morning. I am supposed to be ~~staring~~ studying the monotonous, ultimate-brain-wrecker called History.

As I quote and modify from the Harry Potter movie,
Enemies of the history facts, beware.

Gosh I just proved myself as a really lame person.
Well, I'm a proud lame-O.

The next blog post would be on first impressions, inspired from the reality show Vanity Lair of Channel V.

Chao!

4 down. 19 more to go.

2008-10-15T09:38:00.004+08:00

Guten Morgen!

It is exactly 9.38am on a Wednesday morning.

I feel relaxed and a little bit pressure but all is cool.

The only problem is I have Chemistry and Physics tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
I have not studied one bit.

Someone stab me.
Please?

After yesterday's English papers, exam paper count is down by 2.

4 down. 19 more to go.
Oh joy.

Time to go torture myself with some Chemistry facts.
Yes, call it self-injury.
Chemistry facts can wound and keel you.
Beware.

Alright, enough of my mindless babbling.
Safe to say that I am quite happy with my exam papers so far.
There are quite a number of dumb mistakes but I can't fix it now so why bother?

Chao!
