First Ever Tag by Someone (LengTzi, U watch out!! )

Lazy to answer all the questions la.. Leng Tzi my TARCollege Friend. He love to watch anime.. definitely watch more than I do. Unlikely to become my enemy since he's such a nice person. His favourite stuff.. No idea.. Lazy to tell you guys more of me.. Just some slacker who has so much time to blog even though I have 3-4 assignments due next week. Well, I'm being nice now, so I dun wanna tag anyone else..

P.S. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! (just wanna destress a bit =D )

Fragile Friendship

After months of not posting anything up to my blog due to laziness even WHILE in UK, after breaking all the promises that I had give to all my friends who had followed my blog from time to time.. I'm blogging now.. of an event so meaningful that I really should remind myself from seconds to seconds.

First of all, would like to apologize for my laziness of updating my blog from time to time. Just drop by whenever you feel like it and hopefully I would have posted a few posts.

What happened? Is it a good event? or a bad event? It all started when it was time to cook. A simple DISCUSSION ( I still think it was a discussion), but I was terribly wrong when I raised my voice without noticing. It was total silence after seconds...... as in ........................................
I had hurt someone's feeling without noticing and worse.. without apologizing.. cause I still think I was right in defending my opinion.

The next day is the most torturing part.. our friendship was never the same anymore. I tried to communicate with him, but everytime I sense a wall higher than the sky placed between the 2 of us. I tried to be act like I used to, mana tahu (who knows) I keep getting one-word reply with that look on his face. It seems as though he wants me to move 10m away from him. As last, I cannot bear the tension and just walk away and 'hide at my safe corner' and be EMO.

The truth is, I'm sorry if I really hurt ur feelings. It was only about such a trivial thing over cooking and yet it can affect our long friendship so much. I don't like that!! I don't want that to happen, yet it happened. No excuses should be given for why I apologize over the internet blog and not face to face, probably it's because I dunno how to start talking to you about that particular incident. It was trivial and should be forgotten overnight and yet.. and yet.. oh well.. LESSON learned.. that's all I can say.

Important lessons:
People's feeling are very fragile, DON'T ever.. DON'T EVER raise ur voice when you're talking to someone no matter what is the situation (not even when u wanna scold someone), coz u'll never know when u'll break certain people's feelings.

Survival of the Desperation??

When you reach some strange place where the currency value is around 6-7 times more than our little Malaysia, you tend to convert everything back to Ringgit Malaysia and compare the price before buying it. The old habit of Ta-Pao has to be put aside as it is unrealistic to spend RM28-RM35 per meal(conversion based on RM7 = 1Pound). This has indeed put me and my friend in a desperate attempt to cook ourselves.

To be able to see us cooking back in Malaysia is indeed a very rare occasion. You will even think that I never cook before. Well, the truth is, I don't cook at all. Back in Malaysia, if I'm hungry and need to grab something to eat, the easiest method is to 'tapao', 'bungkus' or take-away. It doesn't cost much, at a mere RM4, you'll get food which is decent and filling. Cheap, quick(30mins average plus eating time), and convenient( you don't have to wash your dishes), many people would have opt for this option back in Malaysia.

For the first month staying in UK, I dare to tell the world, I know how to cook food that is edible and filling (can't declare i'm a chef yet, or a cook).. It's all come down to Desperation. Desperation has a kind of motivation power to push someone over limits which they do not know of. Food is something we need here in UK, and since it's expensive to 'tapao'(take-away), it's more realistic to buy groceries and cook ourselves.

Below are some of the pictures of food that I had prepared together with my friends in UK. I'll only show some.. which I feel proud of.. which I feel it's better than outside restaurant dishes.

English, An eye opener to me

English, spoken widely across the United Kingdom, is my only way of communication with the locals. What really struck me was that my English contains a lot of Malaysian slang. This always create a blur expression on other people's face. Yes, that's right.. this could only mean my english sucks.

Back in Malaysia, my English is considered not bad among my friends. Everyone understands what each other was trying to say and if English fails, there is always other language such as Malay, Chinese or Cantonese to use. It is a different case over here because the only mean of communicating is by English.

I'd just remembered a few days ago my brother in Singapore called me and said that I need to improve my English. He keep emphasising that my English sucks. Oh well, guess I really need to work on my English.

UK week one

Hi, people! It's been great u guys been following my blog every single day.. I'm sorry to had disappoint u guys as i was very busy myself.. this wasnt really helped with the lack of internet connection that most people are facing once they'd reach Nottingham (Long story, hard to explain, but in a nutshell.. there's no direction about anything once u reached Nottingham)

Anyway, I'd promised plenty of photos to be displayed to u guys.. however.. after much consideration, I'd decided to put all my photos taken in Nottingham UK up to Facebook. For those who does not have Facebook, get one now! =P

My Room.. Before and After.. Spot the difference

Lolz.. spent nearly a month to clean up my room.. and guess wat.. it's still messy.. well messy in the sense that most of the memories are all stuffed up in metal boxes and it didn't materialize as I had hope it will be.

Well nonetheless, some of the pictures taken in my room during my packing for UK and after I'd tried to clean everything up.. This is damn frustrating..

Before leaving...

messy bed, no place to even sleep on.. lolz..

Even the floor is full of stuff, Cant even walk on it..

That's the side effect of my room-tidying.. even my sister's room had become one messy place.. =P

After the BIG BIG Project which I didnt manage to finish, but had huge improvement,

Not too bad right? at least can sleep on the bed below.. NO!! dun look above the bed.. =P

Yes, I'd decided to move the 2 tables together. The initial plan was to throw them out and replace with a L-shaped table.. but this is more economical plus I won't be around to use it anyway..

Floor's clean.. move the rack out.. Now can decorate it with stuff d.. Nice..

And there u have it, a failed project which turns out ok till I come back to improve it.

Farewell, Malaysia...

Well, this is it.. counting down towards the day I leave Malaysia for UK. Yes, I'm going there to study 2nd year, No.. I'll be coming back on the 3rd year to finish my degree. Each final days pass by very fast as I try to grab it as hard as possible. There's just too many things to pack.. too many unfinished business left hanging.. too many people to say goodbye.... yet so little time.. okok.. enuf crapping about the lack of time.. This post is a farewell post, to all my Malaysian friends and all Malaysians as well.. as the day i leave approaches..

First thing on my list.. I hope that Malaysia will turn into a better country while I'm away from the country for 1 year. Good bye Malaysia, I'll be back in a year. Enough said. After the recently hot issues that keep popping up from BN, I'm losing my confidence in it, but none the less.. I dislike looking at Anwar taking the throne of Malaysia.. deep down.. I think he's the same as any other BN members.. he'll be full of corruption the moment he takes the seat. ( All this are my own personal opinions )

Secondly, I'd like to say goodbye to my family. Thanks for everything. I'll be leaving you guys for a year now, just try not to turn the whole house into a mess. (not like i'm doing a good example, you should see my room ) Erm.. anyway.. to my little sister, Form 4 already wor.. Manage ur time well in ur choir activities and ur studies, both are important. As for u, Mom.. Happy Birthday.. Just be strong and do the right things, oh ya.. dun forget to cut the crap when u're talking and be more sensible to others, dun simply add oil when a person's already on fire.. As for u, Mr Old Bean, stop being so arrogant and deny us children.. Be more of a good example before u even open ur mouth of craps.. Be more manly, dun run away anymore.. face it and apologize.. pull ur pride down.. that's what u've always been teaching us.. Guess i'll not be able to see u do that before i leave for UK.. hopefully u'll be able to do it after I come back. (and as the elder, u should apologize first.. to set a good example, dun forget what ever happened is not us children's fault to begin with.. Think logical for once)

Thirdly, the goodbye extends to dear Happy.Little.Star aka Da Jie (college friend). Well.. I guess I should say sorry.. for not telling u that i'm going. Deep down.. I guess I'm just selfish, don't wanna hurt myself. Nonetheless, Thank you so much for everything. Appreciate ur friendship, understanding, willingness to listen.. U're indeed one of few who are irreplacable in my life. Hopefully next time I'll still have the chance to meet up with you again.

Fourth, to you Ducky (hehe.. know u dislike this name, but don't really want the whole world to know ur real name), I lied and I still lied on that day. And yes, I'm deeply sorry as well. I guess I was one of the worst friend u can ever had up till college. I hurt you the most and at the same time hurting myself even more badly as well. I'm sorry I can't do anything to cure the both of us, sorry for breaking the trust u had in me as a friend, sorry for being selfish, sorry for being such a jerk, I want to turn back time.. back to that day when we were close, the time when we go lunch together, the time when we had our studies at the library, the time when we had our dinner together as well. I do hope in the future the ship we sail will never sink....

Fifth, to my ex-housemates and neighbour at Semenyih. We really had some funny moments worth remembering while we were staying together. The time we study together, the time we watch movie together on a 14.1" screen in the living room, the time we spent chatting all the way from late night till early morning, the time we went out for supper ("Munga!,Munga!"), and also the night when I was considered almost drunk (1st time lolz).. I'll remember u guys and would like to wish all of you the best in your studies and goodbye.

Next on the list is my Form 5 classmates, 5s5. To the few specific people first, Wen Yee, Hsiao Vern, Kee Tat, David, Aravinth & Tze Siang, see u guys in UK!! hopefully we'll get to visit each other while in UK. Eunice, Sze May, Jia Yin, Yan Chyi, Sau Liang, Kim Giak, Melody Lee, Lance Liew, Zi Qin, Thanks a lot for coming out to meet up with me before I fly off to UK. Will really miss u all, especially Eunice's laughter and smile, Sze May's never ending stories about her life in college and uni. It's been interesting, oh ya..Sze May, I'm not forgetting the fact that we actually meet up 4 times continuously in just 1 week.. dun miss me ar.. lolz.. I know u all wont.. =P then to the rest of the classmates.. All the best in everything ya..

And the list goes on.. wanna say good bye to my college friends, specific few... horseman Foo-Ling, Poh Yeng (poh poh, hou!!ngek ngek!!) and also Tse Ling.. I'm leaving lor.. Thnx for everything u guys had done in the past.. will not forget the times we shared together back in college.. It was really fun indeed!! =D

Not forgetting.. My recent University Of Nottingham Malaysia Campus FRIENDS.. Thnx for organizing the gathering for me and all the people who are going to UK.. It was nice of u all.. we'll meet again in 3rd year.. as of now.. wishing all of u all the best in ur studies!

Also not forgetting u guys, Chin Chuan, Jameson Wong, Yen Cheng, Zi Qin, Yeow Hong, Crabby Zhi Jian and Ching Yih, Thnx for organizing a gathering for me as well.. =) It was very meaningful.. especially since we chat till nearly 2am once and the other time nearly 5am.. =P haha..

And to my other friends which i didn't manage to meet especially Wai Kiat and Pin Pin, sorry for not being able to attend as my schedule was kinda tight.. well.. All the best to you as well!

To the future, we should all just keep moving forward and never give up! I'll be posting more stuff up this blog throughout the whole year I'm in UK, so please stop by to read some of the adventure that i'll be having over there. Till next year, I'll see u again!

A New Technopal

I present to you.. My new MP3 player.. called the Samsung YP-K3.. well.. it looks as big as a handphone.. but it's much slimmer.. less than 4mm.. =0 It has a capacity of 2gb which i think should be sufficient for my usage..

This players have the following functions:
1. Play mp3 songs.. (duh..)
2. Radio FM (very useful when u're overseas)
3. Claimed 25 hours playback after a single full charge of 2 hours. (very sufficient indeed!!)
4. It can also see photos.. (hmm.. Not practical enuf)
5. Nope.. it can't be used to watch movie.. (oh come on.. i rather watch it on laptop or big wide screen TV)
6. Nope.. It can't be used for record audio as well.. (haiz.. didnt notice till after i bought it.. MISTAKE)

But without doubt, this mp3 player will be my companion from now on. I'm sure it will live up to my expectation and will SERVE me well..

below are some of the pics that i've taken of it :

as u can see it's almost similar in size with a handphone

Well.. it's just one picture.. hehe.. not really good in taking picture.. will try harder next time.. oh one thing.. I didnt tell my parents about it.. Sheesssshh... =P

Temporary Manager of RICS Sdn Bhd

I'm unofficially the temporary manager of RICS Sdn. Bhd. This happens because the original founder and manager of RICS Sdn Bhd had to go on a vacation to clear her thoughts and mind. SO for this whole week, my part-time job is MANAGER. lolz.. =D pratically i do nothing... sounds simple rite? All i do is observe the worker's performance and answer every questions that the workers have in their mind. So.. what if i dunno the answer? simple.. just wait for the periodical call from the original manager and ask her. There u go.. simple.. easy.. yet the title is so high. Salary u asked? no.. no salary at all.. This is done voluntarily.. (kononnya).. oh ya.. as the manager.. i'm also the salesman of the company.. so.. have to monitor sales that are made and make sure they're in order (e.g. whether there's stock, buy from who, delivery to customer)..

So there u go.. a basic view of what a temporary manager does.. sounds a lot.. but actually i'm very free.. can actually online 70% of the time and chat wif frens.. lolz..

My Day-off 20/8/08- Lunch at McD,Midvalley

Hmm.. this week is a school holiday week. As I arrive at Midvalley, I'd saw plenty of teenagers around, be it a gang of boys, a couple, a group of friends, they are all over the place. Then when I was having my lunch at McD, I'd saw parents with cute childrens around them.

I saw this mom with her 1,2,3,4,5 kids, having lunch at McD. The facial expression that she had on her face was sad... Makes me wonder how much burden she's carrying (Argument wif her husband? Did her husband cheat on her? Financial burden mayb? ).. oh come on.. It's a school holiday and u're bringing ur kids out.. SMILE for their sake.. SMILE!! haiz.. the burden of having a family.. does it have to come down to this?

Well, looking around the other tables, I noticed that children are indeed cute. With their innocence and pure heart, they can really say or do the dumbest thing without caring much. Just by looking at their actions and speech, it really bring SMILES to my face.

K, time to get back to my errants, stop stalking other peoples.. Lolz..

My Day-Off - 1st Mission

Lolz.. manage to get a day-off from my ever-demanding boss, MY MOM! haha.. I'm still require to do some errant for my family.. =__="

My day started with... *guess guess guess..* waiting for my mom's customer to receive goods from my house.. =___= ok.. done.. around 10am.. my journey starts.. First mission.. collect my flight ticket from MSL Travel in Jalan Putra, KL. I'd made some research as to where's the office the night before, and thought that I need to walk very far from the KTM station to reach there. However, I was wrong. It took me merely 10mins to reach there. Well.. I was kinda shocked when I reach there as I didn't see many staff there (the whole place was quiet). K.. Gotten my flight ticket, Got my ISIC (International Student Identification Card),
then the staff mentioned "U can only bring 6kg of cabin baggage..."
"What?! 6KG?"
"Yes, 6KG, remember to check in on the 15th night"
6KG.. what can i bring with that weight limit? I'd measure the weight of my laptop with the bag together, and it's already 5kg.. add some other accesories.. that's already 6kg.. omg.. It's really time to check everything that need to bring over.

Tidying Room Process - Day One

I give up.. lolz.. there's simply too much stuff to tidy up.. since my room is a shared room, that means I have to tidy my elder brother's stuff as well. Well, it's not really a bad thing, I manage to sneak through some of his personal belongings and finally understands what my bro had gone through throughout his secondary school life, his teenage crisis - love, friendship, politics (there's actually politics in society back in secondary school), family problems, he seems to had faced what we normally will in adulthood. The only problem that he didn't face was "Financial Problem". Lolz.. Compared to last time, he seems to have mature quite a lot (oh come on.. if he doesn't, he's stupid) and I really noticed the change in his personality when he step into adulthood.

After going through his stuff, I keep thinking of my own secondary school life. It made me think that I'm more fortunate than him as I have plenty of reliable friends always standing by my side, supporting me, respected me as a leader, and are always willing to give good advice whenever I need them. It sort of had been the family tradition of ours (male side) to always keep secrets (failures, problems that we faced in teenage stage) to ourselves and not telling our family members, particularly our parents. Because of that, friends are important to us. Friends are the only pillar that I can lean on whenever I feel like falling down (I bet my bro thinks the same). However, in my bro's case, his friends are his society members as well, who most of them plays politics in order to get the highest post. This type of friends are dangerous, they will step on you, grab on you, kick you down to the earth just to reach to the peak. It was his teenage's life's biggest obstacles. Not to mention his teenage love, it had to be the girl who had plenty of guys chasing after, most of them his own best friends or society friends (sounded like spiderman movie eh)..

All I wanna say is Thank you to all my friends.. All of you made me feel great, make me happy when i'm down, gave me advice whenever i need one, give me company when I'm emo-ing. I appreciate it a lot and will not forget u guys (all my friends).

Well, the tidying process was stagnant as of now, I hope I'll be able to continue where I left out tomorrow. My room seems to be more messy compared to when I started cleaning it.. OMG..

LEE CHONG WEI - Silver is good enough =D

oh well, that match was really one-sided. Lin Dan shows a terrific performance and the support from the Chinese people has somehow made Lin Dan stronger. A very good attempt by Lee Chong Wei, U're still world ranking no. 2, U still made us Malaysian proud. =D Try harder next time, learn from the mistakes in the past, there's still another Olympic in the next 4 years, grab that 'holiday' for us Malaysian.. Lolz..

The Day (when I'll soar my wings)

The date was 17 August 2008. Another 30 days till the day I'll leave for another adventure. I've been longing for this day to come sooner. The day when I will be able to see another world, the day when I'll be able to run away from present problems, the day when I'll be able to explore new areas, the day when I'll start missing my friends.. but I'll be gone for only a year. I'd made the decision not to tell all of my friends about this day as 1 year is really a short time and I'll be back by the time they have the chance to miss me. Well, maybe there won't be anyone who will miss me.. lolz.. Much have been done for THIS day to be a reality to me. Many conflicts have occur between different individuals of my family and me being indecisive at first. But after a long discussion with many different people, I'd made my decision that this day must come, no matter what happens.

To start the count down of this day, I've made the decision to tidy up my room and make it a temporary study room for my little sister, small Miawmiaw. Just for the public knowledge, my house and my room has always been a total mess.. I do hope that before THIS day comes, I'll be able to do my part at least in making my room clean and tidy. Lolz.. so to my little sis, YOU better APPRECIATE it!

So.. there u go.. my first blog posting. There will be more updates on THE DAY and stuff happening before and after THE DAY.
