What Elemental Dragon are you?

I got to take this one quiz online again... like the one before 'What elemental are you?'...
it'd seem interesting enough.. and it didn't take long too...
maybe you guys should try it too...

this was my result....


Your an ice dragon! Congrats! Out of all the
dragons, you are most powerful but do not like
to show it. A rare and special creture, you
have artistic style and are great at expressing
yourself. You think friends and Familly are the
most important, and are a hopeless romantic.
But of course, as ice goes, you can be a little
cold or harsh at times. But not to worry, you
always apoligize later!

What elemental dragon are you?

Thursday... Final Day!

Final day? Final day of what? Final day of my work! Yay!
Yeah, I know I said that my last day would be this friday... tomorrow... but it turned out that my younger cousin is stopping work today and won't be coming tomorrow..
so my aunt said that I don't need to come anymore as well... that way no problem of transport to work...
she told me all of that during lunch break and gave me my salary too... Yay!
don't go looking for me to treat any of you... I'm saving these for.. special purposes...
don't think I'm being stingy or selfish or anything... it's not so often I earn my own money all right?
ok ok... if want my treat, can... but have to see for what occasion first... ok? just talk to me about it... then I'll see...

anyway... today's work was all right.. busy busy busy....
and guess what? that little kid was around for today...
sheesh.. noisy annoying little rascal... hahaha... though today he wasn't THAT bad... still can tolerate...
well.. I'll say that I couldn't wait for the day to be over with... Yay! No more work for me!!

anyway... next week.. summer course.. I suppose it is on for the foundation... so I'll just go for the class next Friday... unless something happens to change that plan....

It's just entering night right now.. so I guess I'll be online for quite a long while some more...
besides.. NO MORE WORK TOMORROW! YAY!!!

Another Sonnet for Az

Well... I wrote this sonnet for Azie for Christmas...
Her comment... "So sweet.."
What about yours??
I know this sonnet isn't as good as the one before... but DO still tell me your comment/s...


SONNET II

Bells will jingle; jingle them all the way,
The chorus to be sang; sing it with joy,
The season is near; greet the holiday,
Mistletoes hung; kiss that one girl or boy?

Once again it is that time of the year,
That one season of joyous thanksgiving,
When one spends time with those so close and dear;
A time of both giving and forgiving.

Another gift from me for this season,
To show that my feelings for you are still.
I care for you more than just this reason,
And wait for you ‘til otherwise I will.

_____Merry Christmas, I bid you with this card,
_____And a Happy New Year, which wasn’t hard.

Wednesday... darn day.....

Sheesh... Just when things started to look up.. something just HAD to go wrong...

Let's see.. how did today's work go...
besides the short nap early in the morning when I arrived there, cause of no work.... it was just... busy, busy, busy.... so much work to be taken care of...
but eventually the day's work is over...

Sometime in the afternoon... suddenly Roger contacted me... asking me to join him for a movie tonight.... Kung Fu Hustle...
He'd already know I've went to watch it some time ago... so he offered to treat me my ticket....
knowing how much he'd like me to join him for movies... I accepted... the movie should be enjoyable the second time I believe anyway...
So, got permission to drive out tonight... had dinner at home before leaving...
got there... couldn't get a nice parking.. darn it....
met up with Roger at Popular bookstore... then I did a little window shopping... Roger just accompanied me...
after all a while of that.. returned to the bookstore to look at some books while waiting for the time of the movie...

anyway... skip the details.. to the movie.... it was still funny some parts... still enjoyed the movie...
however... jokes and comedy aside... the story of the movie itself isn't.... good...
the character building especially of Stephen Chow's character is just.... near pointless.... both me and Roger think so.. either that or we both missed quite some important things said in the movie...

anyway... after movie... went home....
drove back as safely as I could.. at the back of my mind, constantly thinking of the possibility of some gang of people just coming and attack me or something....
then.. I got home... my uncle's van was parked at the front of the house gate... so I couldn't park inside the garage...
as I was reversing my car to get it in a position to drive right into the garage space once my uncle drove away his van... then it happenned....... the corner of my car's front bumper rubbed against the side of my uncle's van... hard...
the damage was just paint scrapped off the van.... for my car's bumper, was just some scratches and scraps.... not very noticeable unless taken attention...
good thing for me... my uncle wasn't too angry at me for that....
sigh.. damn it.... of all the things to happen and of all the times.... now my driving record is slightly dirtied.... darn it....

Well... could've been worse... so, I should be glad it wasn't....
Anyway.... this Friday is my last day of work... and according to my mother who phoned Curtin's Student Service, the summer course for foundation is on....
but likely to be changed... cause the person that answered her was not the person in charge of the summer course.... who was still on lift.. sheesh....
but I guess I can consider the summer course on...

and on another note.. getting worried of a particular friend of mine that I got to meet at Curtin.. Ilma...
She's from Sri Lanka.. and had gotten to study in the same course as I did... along with some of my other friends/classmates...
this semester break, she had went back home at Sri Lanka... got to contact with her through e-mail some time before Christmas....
then... the tsunami disaster... now.. Me and some friends are worried about her...
try to be as optimistic as we can.. but.. for me.. there needs to be some realistic in this... otherwise..... you just might end up in denial...
sigh.. really hope.. that she's all right... and well... and safe...
please... I beg you... please pray that she will be all right... and that we will be able to meet with her again... in person...

Tuesday... A day of Tiredness... sigh...

Yeah... really tired...
not much sleep.... work the whole day... then Wushu practise at night.... now online again... sigh...

Well.. at work... busy.. on and off again...
I do recall somewhere in the afternoon that there was no work for me until I could even take a short nap....
today... there was quite some fumes blown.. as in.. lots of anger and frustrations let out... scary....
luckily it wasn't on me.... though a little.. but not directly...

ok.. after work... came home to play some more of Silent Hill 3... hehe.. getting used to it now! not too scared of the game now.. hahah!
after that... dinner, quick shower.. then wushu....
boy.. my body's gonna be complaining alot tomorrow... most likely.. haha!

Well. that's all for this entry... stay tune tomorrow (or later tonight) for more on my life on.. Wednesday!

Monday.. Packed day..

Boy.. last night's storm was heavy, huh?
meddlesome storm.. forced me from the computer for an hour or so... for fear of a thunder strike and electrocuting the whole house or something... hehe...


Anyway! Monday! Today!
Boy.. today was quite a schedule booked day...

ok... work...
busy... on and off... most of the time on though...
Man... heavy rain somewhere in the middle of the afternoon... being an old building, this place, there was a few leaks in the roofs... sigh.... but taken care of...

Came back... thought I could go on the PS2 for the rest of the evening... but then, my mother reminded me of the wedding dinner that I was supposed to attend with her that night...
seeing the rain outside getting heavier... I felt that I didn't want to go out tonight... my mind reminding me of what happened last night...
but in the end, my mother convinced me to go.... don't bother asking.. I don't exactly know how to explain it anyway...

Went to the wedding dinner at Dynasty Hall within the Dynasty Hotel...
there were a lot of people that attended this...
on the table that I sat were my mother, my mother's mother, two aunts and one uncle, two of my younger female cousins, one of my cousin's boyfriend and his younger brother...
well.. guess what we did there? we just went there to eat.... DUH!
sigh.. I knew it was going to be like that... I don't even know who's the couple getting married!
hahah! I just only know that they're a somewhere within the family tree... including the in-laws' family tree...
though... actually, some of the dishes were nice... especially love the shark fin soup... hate the fact that it is made from a very endangered species of animal.. but love the soup...
besides that.. there was a karaoke for all who wants to sing... all the songs sang were Chinese.. except two songs sang by a little boy that was English.. "My Sunshine" & "A small world after all"... (not too sure if the titles of the songs are correct)
all of them sang by adults... except that little boy.... some of them were good.. some others.. weren't as....

anyway... right after the fruits, immediately it seems everyone planned to leave... including us...
I just couldn't wait to get home... and get on the computer to update my blog... before I get left behind by time...
sigh.. tomorrow must definitely go for the wushu practise... to try and make up for my past misses...
gonna be SO tiring tomorrow.. sigh...

ok.. going off from MY life... I got to realise just now just how serious the tsunami was that occured somewhere...
read in the news about it (though only a small part of it).. but I never realised that there were so many casualties....
too be honest.. I can't say that I truly care about the victims and their families and those who survived and/or suffered the tsunami... cause.. frankly, I just... don't see the point of me caring...
I just can pity and feel sorry for their misfortune... it happened during the time of Christmas after all...
It must be really terrible... losing the ones closest to you during a time when you were supposed to be spending time with them...

Well... That's it for this blog entry.... FIN.

Wish YOU A Joyous Merry Christmas!!

Hehehe! Sephiroth of Final Fantasy VII greeting all of you a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Well, updating on my day of Christmas... which was yesterday!

OK... Morning...
Woke up after 10am... and 11am I needed to be ready to go already! For a luncheon at Dynasty Hotel....
So... have my shower... and then just waited for the time before my mother, my brother and me left with my mother's sister..
Boy... were we surprised when we reached the Chinese restaurant to find no one else except the waiters and waiteresses...
So we just waited at our table for everyone else to come down from whatever function that was happening upstairs...
This luncheon was most probably invited by my mother's other sister, cause this was more of a church's sort of event... not being racial or anything....
Later... more people got to join us... when I returned from the washroom... I got to noticed some people coming down from upstairs with musical instrument.. the most obvious one being a keyboard...
I didn't recognise anyone in the crowd.... but it turned out that I found out that one of my close friends in high school (secondary school) had been in the band that performed at that function!! Adrian Teo!!
Anyway... didn't see him yesterday.. and got to find out about it today through Friendster.. Hahaha!
Ok.. the food served during the luncheon were bad... they barely looked interesting...
First a kind of soup (which was too spicy for me..), the white rice... then a plate of mixed vegetables... then a dish of fried chicken (which didn't look good but tasted nice... only one that was enjoyable to eat...), some taohu or beancurd with vegetables and fried fish meat... a steamed Sultan fish (is it??)... and then fruits... that was all...
Immediately left after that... nothing more to do...

During the luncheon... Abel had invited me to go to his open house... with my mother... a little trouble as we didn't know what time the luncheon was going to be over...
but it was over at 1.30pm... got home at 2.... so my mother say we can go at 2.30...
so just rest up for now.... then when the time was nigh, I drove with my mother to Abel's house....

Got there... was surprised to see that he was having quite some visitors...
got greeted by Abel and his parents.. It then turned out it was Abel's mother that invited my mother to come...
sat down... had something to eat.. the bamboo chicken and some umai... which I heard from Abel that it was not spicy.. made especially for those with 'sensitive' tongues....
anyway... some more guests turned up and after spending half an hour there.. me and my mother went back...

Well... last night I had planned already a movie outing with Adrian Foo, Azie and some of her cousins...
Got home from Abel's.. after a while of shopping at Ng Sian Hap.... it was 4pm and after, approximately...
with time... I played Silent Hill 3 on the PS2....
Hahaah! Had forgotten the time when my mother reminded me that I was going out at 6!! and it was ALREADY 5.30!! hahha!
immediately went for shower... have a quick dinner.... and luckily still have some time to spare while waiting for Adrian to come and pick me...
which he did 15 mnutes later.... and as we head for Bintang Plaza (Parkson)... Azie SMSed me, telling me that she and the others are already at KFC and asking where I was..
Well.. no need for me to explain again cause I just told you guys I was heading to Bintang Plaza with Adrian.. right? Just reminded you that anyway.. so whatever! Hehe!

Click for this image
Hahaha! Gave Azie a little fright when I appeared behind her.. Haha!
As quickly as we got to meet them... me and Ad had to go to buy the movie tickets...
Bought the tickets.. after a little trouble... (boy.. so crowded....) then Azie & her two cousins, Tania & Jason joined the two of us there....
Had some more trouble with the money exchanging.. but was settled quickly enough...
then just waited for the cinema to open.... Star 1... I was so hoping that the sound system wouldn't be as bad as before.... (Ocean Twelve incident...)
Anyway... after spending quite some time talking, etc outside Star 1... eventually the cinema doors were opened for us movie viewers and so we entered... the first amongst the crowd to enter even.. hhehe!
Boy... everyone, including us, waited at our seats for SO LONG before even the advertisements came on...
something must've went wrong up at the projector or something....
after about half an hour later.. then the advertisements came on.. before the movie started.... KUNG FU HUSTLE....

OK.. Time for a review...
hahah! My first comment... 'The first Chinese film that I see with SO MUCH computer graphics used on the actors and actresses within its reality setting.... watch the movie and maybe you'll understand what I'm talking about...
but honestly.. this movie is.. haha.. REALLY HILARIOUS!!
Not every moment in the movie is laughter and jokes.. but it sure was at the beginning half an hour or so of it!
Hahaha! And the introduction to the movie... the introduction to a particular mafia-like gang in the movie was.. haha.. kind of.. strangely, awkwardly funny! hahaha! You'll understand what I mean when you watch the start of the movie...
anyway... this movie is VERY ENJOYABLE to watch... gives you some very good laughs!
and for me.. the characters in the movie can really give you a wrong image of them... like say... a sissy person may turn out a lot tougher than appears.... "Never judge a book by its cover!"
OK.. besides the jokes and laughters.. I REALLY love the fighting! VERY COOL! plus with the computer graphics to help make out the fighting scenes!
Though the effects of the people's fighting were VERY OVER-EXAGGERATED, the movements and motions of the fighters were for real... being one who learned some of Wushu, I can tell...
the fighters' movement and body postures were for real and really COOL looking!!
For me, it was really a pity that three REALLY GOOD fighters in the start of the movie didn't get to continue further in the movie... They were just.. SO COOL!!
anyway... this movie doesn't have much focus on romance.. but it still has that... a romance that took over a decade in the making... within the movie I meant...
Hahhaa! The ending was a real laugh! Hahaah! The movie included this lesson as well.. "Never so easily trust an unshavened stranger with long, uncut, shaggy, dirty hair who is terribly, raggedly, dirtily dressed." hehehe!
Watch this movie.. It's DEFINITELY one you DO NOT wanna miss....

OK... movie over... it's only after 9pm... so the five of us went window shopping around the complex...
soon, Azie got a call... It turned out that her mother, Tania's mother & Jason's mother were at Cheerie Berries (CB)...
So... Azie and her cousins decided to meet with them there... but without a ride.. we turned to Adrian...
Good thing, he was generous enough to help out...
Nearing 10pm, we left in Ad's car to CB... Ad couldn't join us so he just dropped us there...

We met up with the three mothers in front of CB... and sat at a table near them...
The four of us then had quite a long conversation.. having some drinks and a chicken pizza during the conversation...
Some time after 10.30pm... my mother called for me to come back home....
luckily for me.. it so happened that the three mothers were planning to go as well! Hahah! What coincidence and what luck I must say... heard that they usually stay there for a longer time... hehe!
Got a ride from Jason's mother.. I think... Everyone else squeezed at the back...
Hehehe! They didn't know where my house was.. and I had mentioned the Blue pub...
they thought I meant to drop me at the pub cause I had a meeting with some friends there! Ahahah!
Well.. they came to my house.... I asked them to wait for a while as I went in and returned with a Christmas gift for Azie.. had forgotten to bring it with me when left with Ad earlier....
Then... buh-byes and goodnights... went in and had my sleep...

Well... It's the morning after Christmas Day....
And the end of this blog entry.. thanks for reading this long one...
and one more thing...

Friday... Free Day!!

Boy... had today been... quite.. some... day....

First.. summary of my work day... BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRREEDDDDD!!!!
We barely had much work to take care of.. well.. me and some of ym workmates at least...
during lunch break.. I asked my younger cousin to send me back to get something from home...
Was actually looking for that little game of mine, Mastermind... but couldn't find it.. so a deck of cards replaced it...
Turned out to be a good call... as we spent the rest of the afternoon.. just playing with the cards...

Then came home.. dinner.. shower... then PS2.. wanted to continue with Final Fantasy X...
but THEN!! turned out there was some problem... I just couldn't continue on with the movie sequence... the PS2 just kept lagging or hanging before the movie sequences... completely made me coudln't continue!!
since i considered borrowed someone else's cd to continue.. I popped in Silent Hill 3...
Had a few problems with continuing through the game.. but managed... til one place... Where the heck am I supposed to go!!??
Sheesh.. plan to look for some help in the net...

Anyway... that's all for today...
Tomorrow, there will be lunch at Dynasty.. with who I've yet to confirm...
Then.. hopefully, I'll be able to visit Abel's place for a while after that...
And THEN, hopefully that night I'll be going out with Azie.. along withTania & maybe some of her friends.....

Thursday.. A MAGICal finish to the day...

Well.. the title of this blog only implies to the daytime of today for me...

OK.. summary on my work day...
It's been all right... little bored once in a while... but ok...
To be honest.. in the afternoon, I thank my goodness that that little kid was not there to bother us...
sheesh.. the kid was nice to have to keep us entertained.. but the thing is.. he's just too naughty and it becomes troublesome for most of us during our work...

Well... after work, which was later than usual cause me and my cousin helped some more at the workplace.... got home and wited for Roger..
yesterday, he had called me about a talk taking place somewhere in the Boulevard area...
and the talk had included magic and a magician as the speaker... John Teo....
without hesitation, I agreed to join him...
so.. immediately after work, he'll come to pick me up...
which he did... and we went off there.. found the place and went in...
there wasn't many people there, so.... GOOD!!

The talk turned out to be on management... the title of the talk... 'Management by MAGIC'...
there, I met one of my uncle there.. and also... guess who.. Wong Shin Kah aka Wong Senior!! (for those of you who aren't familiar, he is one of the SOAR Advisors during my orientation in Curtin..)
The magician was (duh!) very good... a professional undoubtedly...
and not only that.. it'd seem there were other magicians in the audience as well.. which should be expected with such a talk...
during the talk, John had shown us a lot of magic tricks.... though the tricks were of low level.. it was still very fascinating...
some of them, Roger & I can understand somewhat of how John did them... but there were some that we just can't get...
besides that, he taught the audience (about 10++ people) two tricks... which both me and Roger already knew of....

At the end of the talk.. went to talk to John Teo... he showed us a few extra card tricks... and we got to know another young magician.. around me and Roger's age...
boy.. was that fellow good with his hands! He really knows how to use his hands for those tricks he showed us!!
plus! he knows the magician's language too! Which both Roger and I don't even know so well!!
Despite how good Roger & I were... I suppose we're not even considered low-levelled magicians yet...
well.. at least, we learned some new things from there... left at 7.30pm....

Well.. that's all for this entry....
This Saturday, Abel invited me through SMS to his open house for Christmas... Hopefully I'll be able to go...
well.. my plans for Christmas aren't well planned yet...
I also actually planned to go out with Azie that Saturday night to watch 'Kung Fu Hustle' starring Stephen Chow... but then it's Christmas, so she might be spending time with her family instead...
So... my Christmas day schedule is still not yet managed... hopefully it will be, latest, by tomorrow..

Wednesday.. One-sidedly see-sawing away!

Well... today... there was a little bad.. and a little good... no... wait.. MORE GOOD!!

Well... let me just give my summary of my work day today...
Morning, we were quite busy.. finishing off where we left off from yesterday and more...
but we were done.. at least by afternoon...
Afternoon was a little bored.. played quite often this littel game called 'Mastermind' (won't bother to elaborate)... but then ended with some works...
haha... funny thing when about to leave for home...
My younger cousin's car... stopped functioning... seems that his battery were dead or broken...
but fortunately, there was a mechanic's shop nearby... and the battery was cahnged with a new one...
That's the big advantage with working nearby a mechanic's shop... Hahha!

So.. came home... went to play Final Fantasy X on the PS2 again... Hahaha!
For those familiar with the game... I was playing the part where we first play blitzball against the defending champions, Luca Goers..
Well... one round.. STILL couldn't beat them... this is my second try at this... and I WANT TO WIN THEM!! Those show-offs! haha!
But then.. dinner time... be right back for the game...
Dinner & a shower later.. returned to the PS2..
A few more tries... about 3 to 4 more times before I finally beat them! OH YEAH! It felt GOOD!!!
Hahaha! once after that... saved my game and left to go online! Haha! As usual!

Well... that's all for this entry... Seems I'm quite in a good mood today! ^_^

Tuesday... Not in a good mood most of the time...

Well... I can say for sure that it had nothing to do with my episode last night....
No, really.. there is no connection between my moodless-ness of today and my upset-ness of last night...

My work for today... it was so busy... so many work needed to be done... practically non-stop.. excluding break times...

What happened other than my work today?
Noon, went to the temple somewhere at Riam area.... Why?
Well... allow me explain something for a minute...
not many of my Curtin friends know this.... but my father had actually passed away at the end of the month of June this year.....
Since today there is some kind of festival going on.. (which to be honest I have no idea what festival it is.. only that I know it involves us making and/or eating those small little round white/pink dumplings....) we went to the temple to pray my father for a while...
After that... went to my grandparents' place (of my mother's side) for lunch...
after that... my younger cousin, who came home for lunch, brought me to work again...

Well.. no need to explain more on my work... cause basically my one sentence for it was basically all there was to it...

Home after work.... going to my grandparents' house again for dinner...
I was constantly rushed to prepare myself (shower and everything) before we left....
Dinner... then went to Boulevard for a little... to buy some food stuffs and some new clothings...
Then came back home and went online...

For tonight, I felt too lazy to go for my routine Wushu practise... too lazy to make myself be anymore tired than that....

I feel sad and very upset...

Haha... funny.. just a few hours ago.. I thought today was going to be fine...
then.... just about ten minutes or more earlier.. I just got to realise something...
and that quite shot my mood down...

Well... in Friendster... when browsing through the testimonials of some people...
I realised that some of them never wrote me one... and yet are quite close friends with me...
which.. kind of made me sad....
it felt like as if... I had never existed in their lives.... (over-exaggeration most probably)
some people... I know them well.. yet.. couldn't write a testimonial that made me feel like... I had some impact in their life.... or at least made me feel like our friendship had meant something... or maybe it had some value... even if just a little...

Sigh... I don't know.. I guess I'm one that likes to have some attention from others.. particularly my friends.. and ESPECIALLY those close to me...
at least... get to know what they'd thought of me during the time I had been with them.... just to see what effect and image I was having on others...


Maybe I'm just jealous.... no.. I probably am.... that others had been given the attention that I yearned and should've earned....
I feel sad....

ok.. some of you (familiar with Friendster) might ask.. 'Why not just ask your friends to write you a testimonial then, stupid?'
Well... this is what I think...
If I did that.. they might add that little detail into their testimonial...
and that's the thing I hate... It makes me feel like I'm forcing them to... like as if I made them do something out of their own free will....

Doggone it!! I look fine outside... but I'm probably crying inside... Sh*t! I hate this!!

........

...............

.....................

..............................


Since I'm talking about something sad.. my as well talk about some other things that I'm quite upset about...
Mainly the comments that I heard saying that I'm a proud show-off....
Sh*t bah! And mostly it's by those who I don't even know!!
Sheesh.... I so hate this...
I heard from my mother that my cousin who told her that some people say I am (said above)...
and one of the reasons my mother mentioned was I went around to ask for charity donations from the same people more than once...
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT!!? SH*T LAH!
This I can't be sure but I think my mother said that my cousin said it was some of my friends...
that REALLY hurt me... I knew of some old friends from my high school that were studying at Curtin as well...
some not so close.. and I worry so much that it might've been them... D^MN IT!
Really.. really... would hurt me to think that it was them....

Sh*t lah... I don't know... that charity donation thing...
I got to ask many people more than once for donation because I can't remember everybody's face bah...
Don't they realise that? Have they never thought to consider MY side of the story!?

This isn't just in Curtin... back during National Service...
To be truthful... I had been able to make quite a popular reputation of myself during the NS...
and that was probably one of the reasons for this to happen...
I can still remember... I'm just walking back to the hostel..
when I walked passed some people.. who I don't know or don't recognise...
When I walk passed them... they muttered to each other.. "Eh! Sombong!"


What the!? What did you expect!! That I can remember 600++ faces of EVERY trainees that was in the same camp as me!!!
If I don't wave 'Hello' to them... they say that I'm a show-off.. or 'hidung tinggi'...
then they'll think that I've made myself popular so I looked down on them.. like those stereotyped cheerleaders you see in those western movies about high school teenagers....
(When I said 'they' or 'them', I didn't meant everyone in the same NS group as me..)

I still recall some comment they made of my NS camp leader... who was a trainee himself...
He was a nice fellow... He said 'Hi' to me some times when we see each other... even though we weren't even close friends...
but then.. I heard people talk behind him..
"You know.. before he used to be so friendly... When we saw him, he would say 'Hi' to us.. Now.. when see us, he don't do that... Become show off already..."
Sh*t ah...


Some people.. no... make that... MANY people... always make comment/s on other people... just from their point of views...
Do they do their comments in consideration of the other side? Not all of them at least...

.... Thinking about consideration of other people... makes me recall back that particular sketch I created for the Orientation night... at the end of the Orientation Week..
I recall.. adding in this particular line... (not the exact words)
"No matter what sex you are, always remember.. We should never be inconsiderate of everyone else's feelings. We're all humans. We're all homo..."
ok.. some of you probably know what the rest is.. haha...
anyway... yeah.. I purposely added that line.. not only because I thought I should add a lesson into the *coughhilariouscough* sketch...
but at least.. maybe make some people realise how important consideration for other people is...
It was also then that I really got to notice how important it was...

If Christians have sins and Muslims have dosa.... then one of the top major ones (of either) for me would be being inconsiderate of other living beings.... (by the way.. I'm Buddhist...)


Well... actually.. I'm feeling better now... cause got to chat with Nadia & Azie while I was writing this..
something to get my mind off this... haha...

Wow... this blog entry has the most of those little pictures or icons in it...
hahaa... like as if I brought out the big gun or something... Haha...

Monday Workday

Well... today's been quite all right...

though this morning I woke up half an hour before my work time... making me have to skip shower and early breakfast...
had a quick change of clothes... drank a glass of milo... had to go to the bathroom for a while.. then went off to meet my younger cousin who was picking me up to work...

Well.. today's work was nothing much special as the others...
just that today I seemed to be spending A lot of time with a deck of cards in my hand...
remember that little kid I talked about last Saturday? well... he'd brought his own deck of cards... which was completely with the 52 cards...
and yeah.. he'd often called me to show him some magic... which drew some of the other workmates to ask me to.... particularly a few of the girls... (well... there were only three other workmates of mine that were boys...)

Well... apart from my constant contact with a deck of cards... everything else was the same... except that I noticed that I might've broke the ice between me and most of the workmates there with those card magic tricks...
that's good...

Well..... after work.. came home.. went straight for the PS2 and played some more of Final Fantasy X for one and a half hour.....
showered.. ate dinner.... came online....
Well... I suppose today wasn't so special then....
Will keep updating on my days as always... Blog here then!

Super Sunday.... without the Super part...

Well... today wasn't so special... but just thought to update anyway...

Morning.. turned out that my uncle/Wushu coach forgot to come to pick to the practise... and I didn't bother to call him...
So.. instead... played some PS2... YAY!! It's back! After about three months of no video games... (ok.. so maybe I played a bit at other people's house) and my brother-in-law finally brought it back!
yay! Now I won't be so bored and spend my whole day online! hehehe!
Morning til lunch... played Silent Hill 3.... I'd to decide what game to play... and finally chose that....
Boy... everytime I play one of those Silent Hill games for the first time... I get so scared.. Hahah!
It is just... very unpredictable what you'll encounter in the game! plus the darkness or the lack of visibility... can't tell if the monsters are there or not....
Played for three hours more... then went for lunch...

About half an hour later.. back on the PS2... didn't feel like playing Silent Hill for now... so then popped in Final Fantasy X!!
It's quite an aged game and I've not even played the whole game yet!!!
Played nearly for the whole afternoon... until 5pm after... that was the time my family went to Boulevard for dinner...

Return an hour and a half later... played a little more of Final Fantasy X before I stopped and went for my shower...
Then... here I am writing this entry.... I guess that's all for today...

I'll end this entry with a nice list of symptoms for being too addicted to the popular Japanese Anime series, Naruto....
naturally.. this list can only be understood by those who've gotten to know some of Naruto...
but I've made an attempt to make it so that EVERYONE can understand this list....

You know your addicted to Naruto when you...
1. Practice hand seals seen on the anime, everyday.

11. Try to climb trees with just your feet.
12. Try to walk on water....oh god.
13. Sit there for days asking Kyuubi for his chakra. (Chakra being something like an energy force throughout your body)

16. Read/Watch RAW episodes/chapters of Naruto and you don't understand them.
17. Buy a Kabuki mask or an Anime mask and claim to be Anbu. (Anbu being a special group of well trained masked ninjas... something like the FBI or CIA)

19. Wish your character happy birthday on their birthday and buy them a gift.
20. Cry seeing Gaara's flashbacks.
21. Accidentally call your girlfriend (god forbid you have one) Sakura by mistake.

26. Spend your life justifying your existence.
27. Carry a sand gourd (following the character, Gaara) to school to protect yourself from bullies.
28. Purchase white contacts and claim lineage to the Hyuuga clan. (A special clan with special eyes that are white or very pale...)
29. Answer your teacher's question, "Why do you come to school?" with "To kill a certain man." (following Sasuke)
30. Light your hand on fire and yell out "Chidori!!" in pain. (Chidori being a powerful move done)
31. Attain a sex change operation and say, "Sexy no Jutsu!" (One move by Naruto where he turns himself into a beautiful, naked woman)
32. Feed you and your dog pills hoping to stay up for 3 days. (In the anime, there exists a pill that gives extra boost to the consumer's strength and other physical attributes)
33. Bite your thumb and practice writing scrolls. (Something you can find the characters doing)
34. Tattoo your arm with an ANBU symbol, neck with a cursed seal, and head with the Chinese character word, 'Love'.
35. Start poking people believing you can stop there chakra flow. (Poking at supposed 64 points all over the human body... something like acupunture... just that with fingers instead of needles...)
36. Had your own funeral tribute for the Third. (The Third Hokage of the village)
37. You start doing Shikamaru's hand gesture habit when thinking. (having your palms facing upwards, tips of every finger from left connected with the tips of every finger from the right)
38. Say "datte bayo" at the end of everything you say, and not even know what it actually means! (Something Naruto often likes to say in Japanese... in a way to give emphasis on the importance to whatever he was saying)

46. Murder everyone in your family to measure yourself... (Part of the anime story)
47. Draw whiskers on your cheeks, dye your hair blonde, and put on an orange coat, running around like an idiot screaming; "datte bayo!" (Imitation of Naruto himself)
48. Dress like your teacher and have the same freaky hair style and eyebrows. (Following two characters, a teacher and a student that dress and look really alike.. though not related by blood)
49. Tell your teacher you will dedicate your schoolwork to making your homework without using ninjutsu or genjutsu. (Following one particular character... Ninjutsu meaning ninja techniques and Genjutsu meaning illusionary techniques)

51. Destroy all the books in school to measure your knowledge.

53. Ask your girl to dye her hair pink, just because it reminds of you Saku...eh...your mom.

A Great Day & An Even Better Night

Yeah... yesterday was just that...

First.... day time.. at work.... There wasn't much to do for today... for some reason...
Mostly just sit... talk.. listen to some music.. waiting for time to go by...
During lunch break, called up Azie.. to confirm with her if we'll going out for dinner last night..
Fortunately, yes, she can come out tonight... but she didn't have any ride.
She asked me (or it might've been Tania at the background) to give them a ride.
For today, I thought I would be able to drive so I agreed to.

Haha! Then that afternoon, when there was barely any work for me and some of my other workmates...
there was this little kid... one of the older worker's child... He was constantly running around and just having his own fun...
Today I got to know him quite some... and it so happens that he got a few items needed for a magic trick and I was kind of itching to do something...
So, I borrowed one coin from him and showed him a magic show...
Hahaha! Boy, this kid was so... hahah! He constantly begged me to show him the trick again and again... didn't.... until later...
There happened to be an old deck of cards there... so I used them and played some more... better tricks on him....
Then.. soon enough, I got to show some tricks to some of my workmates....
taught them one... they caught a few (but not learning them)... it was fun...
then.. evening time.. end of work... I walked back home.. despite my aunt's protest.. hahaha!
And, remember that little kid? he actually ran out after me and said that he wanted to follow me to my house...
I was like... "What the!? This is trouble..." Hahaha!
Luckily, I got to convince him not to follow me... and he still persist on knowing where I live...
As I walked on.... across some streets and further away... he was still looking at me... from the distance...
He probably went back when suddenly one workmate drove by and gave me a ride... haha!

Back home... since the dinner with Azie was at 7pm... I had an hour and a half to be ready...
Thankfully, I was allowed to drive for tonight...
After 6.30pm, I went off... heading for Azie's place.... and picked up Azie & Tania...
And went to Bintang Plaza...

At first, our plan was to eat at McDonald's... but then it turned out that it was crowded.... then went to KFC... which Tania had forgotten existed in this complex.. Hahah!
We ate and talked.... about half an hour and more so... we then left back to McDonald... Azie said she wanted to buy one of those Incredibles toys...
after a while of waiting in line.. we were told that they were sold out... sheesh...
Well.. now.. with no other plans... Azie & Tania went window shopping... with me to accompany them.
Somewhere while doing so... Tania had a call from her mother... who asked if they had wanted to go to the Discovery pub...
"Sure, why not?" that was what both me and Azie answered.. not the exact same words.. and not at the same time... but what we said went along that line...
So, the plan now was to wait for Tania's mother to come to Bintang Plaza to pick the girls up and head for the pub.. which was about half an hour and more after the call...
I drove to the pub myself.... good thing I've been there once with Jacky, Cindy, Roger, Lish, Ching Tung, Oscar & Peng Ju....
Found a place to park... I went to the pub.. couldn't find them though... as a matter of fact, there was barely anyone there...
then called Azie to ask where she was... it had turned out she, Tania & her mother had went to the other pub, The Rock Bistro.. which was behind the block where the Discovery pub was....
They had never realised its existence and had thought it looked nice and tried it out....
We had some drinks.... and talked quite some... later, Azie's parents came...
Talked some more... etc....
Passed 10.15pm... I was wondering if I should head back home already.... then... a phone call...
and my sis answered that question for me.... haha!
Paid my drink and then head back home...

I really enjoyed my time with Azie... it's been a while... and I had been so anticipating for the night since she confirmed with me that afternoon....
To be honest.. I had actually wanted to give my Christmas gift to Azie that night... but didn't find the right time too... Hopefully, I can next weekend...

Well.. that's all for this blog entry... going for wushu practise within an hour's time...
Will update this blog some more another time then!

Third Day

Man.. kind of tired today... sleep too little last night.... make that.... this morning... 1am til 7am... hmm.... add that with the other nights of less sleeps then...

Anyway... just bloggin about my third day of work.... besides my lesser energy and often drowsiness... it was like before... nothing much different...

ok... when I came back from work... my mother greeted me by saying that she already knew my results for my semester...
she had written it down on a piece of paper....

Yay! No fail! I even got distinction for IT 064 & Mathematics 063 and two HIGH distinctions for Academic English 061 & Critical Thinking 060! WOOHOO!!
Both my Chemistry 063 and Physics 063 were passed... probably just enough or around there....

hehehe! Well... most of the people I got to chat with right now (evening) had passed... Azie, Nadia, Darshana & Jeremy...
Jeremy got such excellent results... sigh... he's so good leh.... one of the best in my foundation group...
ok.. that's all for this entry...

Second Day

Well... Nothing special really...

Today.. the work was basically the same...
help do this.. do that.... same people...
nothing out of the usual... or at least.. depending from yesterday... ahahah! second day and already saying 'the usual'!

Sigh... Only Sunday I'm free in the day time.... really wish I can spend it with Azie.... maybe go out and eat or something... I don't know...
Sigh.... Anyway... Nothing much... back home.. evening time...
thankfully, today's work wasn't any difficult from before...
Definitely be online some more for tonight.. Hehe!

Night of First Day

Man.... Last night was, I must say, the craziest night online I've ever had... Hahaha!
Reason why this is in a new blog entry because it happened after the earlier blog entry.

Well... the main thing was the MSN messenger..
Last night, I was chatting SO MUCH! Hahah! I had FOUR separate chat windows... and I was chatting with a few people in more than ONE chat windows!
let me just list them down...

1 - I chatted with Lish alone... I just thought I check up on how she was doing...
2 - Liz & Nadia... then soon later, I added Lish in... Introducing her to the other two...
3 - Krishna & Darshana.... More story on this one later...
4 - Adrian Foo... which I added Lish in... trying to maybe allow Adrian to somehow make her happier for a while at least...

Let me talk what happened in those four chat windows...
The fourth chat window.. with Adrian Foo.... I added Lish in, to give a chance for her to feel better.. even if it was for a while...
well, we got to talk a lot about Adrian going to find some job with Roger..
it had seemed that the two got a job at Rihga Royal Hotel... cleaning rooms... I don't know the details.... Maybe they didn't work today.. I'm not too sure...

The third chat window... with Krishna & Darshana.. well... at first, I just chatted a little with the two....
Then Krishna invited in Liz & Nadia... to my surprise.. Hahaha!
But then, Darshana left, cause of something.. don't know what....
Then we chatted... Krishna tried to get the two to join the summer course... etc...
Then nearing midnight... Liz & Nadia left the chat window, just as Krishna invited in Hari...
Talked some more... and then it was over...

The second chat window.... with Liz and Nadia... I talked to the two for some time at first... and then I invited Lish in.. cause I'd thought how interesting it might be if I had her meet these two...
Hehe.. thankfully the conversation was all right..
We even got on the subject of Lish's current long-distance relationship situation....
The conversation ended quite a long later...

And finally the first chat window... with Lish.. Well.. in this one, I was constantly talking to her on her current situation and also her relationship with Roger... trying to make her feel as much better as possible...
so much talking...

haha... I can remember half way through keeping up with every one of these chat windows.. I went momentarily crazy.. no.. insane!!
Hahah! I was laughing at myself more than I ever did before... hahaah!

Sigh.. so many things... happening all at the same time... sigh...
It was a great night though... hahaha!

First Day

So it happened... I just experienced nearly one whole day of work at my aunt's workplace... which is a place that does tailoring jobs.... making shirts.. etc involving clothings or attire related...

OK.. it began in the morning at 8 when I went with my younger cousin who was working there as well.. but earlier then me...
so.. that makes him like a younger senior to me... goes to show that what's important is experience... not age...
Got there and greeted my aunt and uncle... the tauke of the place..
Soon we went upstairs... (behind the office scene) Even I never realised there was an upstairs to this place...
Well... there was quite a number of workers there as well.. mostly around my age or above... some were younger even...

Well... let me just summarise everything quickly then...
Morning... quite busy as there was many to do... though not so difficult work for me...
just putting the shirts into plastic bags and then sealing them and then tying them together...
and then also helping out the others when they ask to...
there was a break somewhere in the middle.. then abck to work... til lunch at noon...
Afternoon, things were a lot slower... as there wasn't ANY work for me and a few others...
so basically just stayed there waiting for time to pass by... even played some mobile phone games to do that...

Went back at evening time....
OK.. let me say some of what I felt during the work...
Kind of excited, though not much... quite glad that I didn't have much to do (to be honest) and plus not so difficult works as well... somewhat bored at times (frequently occassionally miss calling Roger, Lish & a few times, Azie)....
..........I think that's mostly what I felt...
It was an all right experience... and food is provided, which adds to the 'plus' of this place...
I also got to know more of these... tailoring stuffs...
Well.. that's all... I'll be doing this job for the rest of this month... from Monday to Saturday... from morning to evening...

Oh yeah... forgot to add something that I did this morning...
This morning, I SMSed Lish to check on her... She said she didn't cry throughout the night.. but if I can remember correctly, she mentioned that she couldn't sleep well though last night....
Well... thankfully, she probably felt better than before... I feel she is anyway..
And on another news... Roger was supposed to be looking for his aunt for a job as well... thing is.. no news from him... don't know if he got a job now or still no...
that's all... Thank you for reading my blog! I appreciate your attention.. VERY much!

The Good, The Bad & The Tips of the Scale

Sigh... today has been a see-saw battle between goodness & badness...
Let me remind you of the situation.... Lish, Roger's girlfriend (for five months), was going back to Brunei tomorrow morning... and who knows when she'll even come back to Miri... making today her last day here with us...

OK... this is how my morning started...
Usual wake up... usual breakfast and newspaper... then to the computer for some online time...
after that... in the morning, Roger phoned me twice... the first time, he said we'll be watching the afternoon movie 'Ocean Twelve'... and that he'll come and pick me and Lish later at noon to have lunch at Bintang Plaza (Parkson)... for now he would sleep some more....
the second call.. not long after, he told me that he will be coming over to my place soon... once he's showered... to just.. spend whatever time together...

Half an hour later or so, he came... without Lish to my surprise... he explained that there was no responce from her...
then as he was about to enter... a responce.... then he had to leave to pick her up...
Ten minutes later, they were back... I noticed Lish a little upset/sorry about what happened... she had even asked me if he was mad when he received her responce and then came to pick her...
I assured her... He wasn't... He couldn't... not at this time... he might've been a little frustrated or annoyed.. but he can definitely not be angry at her....
We watched some more 'Naruto'.... til 12.30pm...

Here comes some more badness...
Roger just complaint about being hungry at first... but just as we were about to leave... he found out that he had diarrhea instead... (Sigh.. terrible...)
But we proceeded to Bintang Plaza for lunch.... here... things got worse for Roger and that he had to go to the restroom quite some times...
Lunch... Roger could barely enjoy his food cause of his condition... and his mood was effecting the atmosphere around us badly...
Lish was really sad, I thought, and she even said sorry to Roger a few times... Sigh... she believes that since this outing was more for her since she's leaving soon... so in turn, Roger's 'suffering' was of her fault as well...
Which of course, it wasn't... and Roger would never blame her for this...
Adrian Foo came somewhat on time before we went for the movie... though Roger went to the restroom as we went in....

Well.... all right.. don't expect much of a review on 'Ocean Twelve' from me... cause frankly... I was VERY frustrated by the cinema's sound system...
Doggone it!! The voices of everyone in the movie was blurry, making me and probably everyone else, unable to understand what they were saying...
this problem was periodical.... happening once in a while... throughout the movie... and sometimes lasted for over ten minutes!!!!
And to think this movie really required viewers to listen and understand everything spoken in the movie...
sigh.. I was so frustrated that I wanted to shout out the problem for those cinema people to take care of... and even thought that I should go and get a refund!!
sigh... but was lazy to even bother....

Sigh... one hour into the movie... I was losing more and more interest cause of the TERRIBLE sound system...
then suddenly, a SMS rang in my phone...
Turned out to be Azie (to my delight)... I told her through MSN this morning that I'll be watching a movie this afternoon...
and now she was telling me that she, Ankita and Darshana were at McDonald's restaurant right now... and that I go join them...
but I think you guys can see a problem here... I was right in the middle of a movie... which took me RM7 for the ticket....
I replied that I was watching the movie right now... and that was it...
but then... the urge to be with her... sort of made me 'itch' emotionally or mentally...
well.... I thought there'll probably be another hour left in the movie.. so I can return later and just watch how it ends.... since I could barely catch up with what was going on...

I unmistakenly found them.... Azie and Ankita wearing bandannas while Darshana wore a black cap... haha!
I spent about half an hour with them there.. talking... laughing... taking some photos....
At first, I didn't really notice, but under her black jacket, Azie was actually wearing a pink shirt... hehehe! Ankita pointed it out to me... haha!
She even showed me a photo of her, without the jacket... She'd look beautiful, to be honest.
Well... after half an hour, I thought I should head back to the movie...
Returned to the movie... and watched til the end...
I was feeling quite better now.. having spend some time with Azie lifted my mood somewhat...
although the poor sound system was still annoying.. at least, I didn't verbally show my frustrations so badly until Lish tried to calm me down some time earlier.... haha!

OK.. well... here's a quick and simple review of the movie...
Ocean Twelve is actually an interesting movie.. though it might help a little to understand this movie by watching the first movie.. 'Ocean Eleven'...
It would've been a very enjoyable movie for me, if it weren't for the terrible audio system...
Allow me to warn EVERYONE! Be aware of Star 1! For I suspect the audio system in this theater to have some problems...
Anyway... turned out that I got to understand basically of what had happened throughout the movie.. thankfully...

After the movie, which about half an hour after I re-entered.. I thought I take my chance to see if Azie, Ankita & Darshana were still at McDonald's...
As we were about to go.. Roger again went to the restroom.... while somewhere along that time.. Lish cried again... tears had streamed down her eyes...
This time, I wasn't sure what caused them... could it be seeing Roger in such condition.. or cause time was going by and closer to tomorrow...
I tried to comfort her... but she just said that she was all right....
We went to McDonald... as I had thought, Azie, Ankita & Darshana weren't there anymore... probably were at that Handicraft marketplace at the Miri Heritage place..
but guess who I got to encounter... at first, I had thought it was someone else from behind.. cause her jacket had made her looked bigger in size...
with a suspicion, I looked for a handbag.. and sure enough.. it was the one I thought to see... Snow Jae!!

Went to sit down next to her table, while waiting for Roger and Adrian to join me and Lish there...
Snow Jae was with her sister there.. eating and reading some comic...
Soon, Roger and Adrian came... we just sat there for quite some time... Eventually, SnowJ left with her sister... but we continued to just sit.. talk... etc....
That night, there was a plan to go to Seahorse to eat and drink with Rudi and his girlfriend, Evelyn..
Roger thought he might not be able to make it, with his diarrhea... but thankfully, got to convince him to continue with the plan....
To me, he just HAD to... no questions asked! At this time, he wants to let go of some time to spend with Lish!!
After a while, we then made a move... being in his condition, Roger thought he should head straight home.. and asked Adrian to help send me and Lish back home... which he did...

So... back home.. went online again to check on my usual stuffs...
I had my dinner before Roger came to pick me and Lish for Seahorse...
Met up with Rudi & Evelyn there at a table...
We had somethings to eat... except Roger and Evelyn... Roger didn't feel like eating anything cause of his condition.. (which fortunately was better that night) while Evelyn just didn't have the appetite that night...
Me & Lish shared a basket of French Fries only for the night... the last time we came here, we both ordered our own basket of fries.. and it turned out that she couldn't finish them and I couldn't help to finish them cause one basket was full enough for me...
Rudi was the only one that had something heavier to eat... don't know what he ordered though.. didn't pay attention to what he ate...
We spent quite a long time there.. just talking about old times.. the present times... and a little of future study plans....
well... I noticed I was the most silent one, besides Evelyn (who could be excused since she's still unfamiliar with everyone else, except Rudi)...
mostly found myself just listening on everything they were talking about...
Hahah, I even found myself observing the two couples just talking with their partners at the same time... so intimately...

Well... 9pm.. we called it off for the night... but Rudi had suggested Roger to spend more time with Lish... and he did...
Tonight was Wushu night.... so we thought to go visit the guys at the Indoor Stadium for a while...
and for a while indeed... soon we left again... this time to Lish's house...
now here's another highlight of today.... the main one....

Probably everything of Lish's had been packed and had been sent to Brunei, probably...
The house was quite empty... and her housemate was asleep...
Went up to her room quietly... and spent even more time there...
We just played in her room.... talked... listened to some music... got to know three of Lish's dolls... including her favorite.. the one Roger had given her as a Christmas gift...


Sigh.. were those two really intimate and close.... so much more intimate than I had ever seen them before...
I suppose this is how intimate they really were... plus the fact that she's leaving very soon now...
I watched them as they made fun with each other... being intimate at the same time...
but then... after quite a while later.. (after an hour and more spent in her room) when things had started to calm down between the two.. (who had been whispering with one another as my attention was drawn away...) Lish started to cry... really bad now...
I just watched as Roger tried to comfort her... holding her, etc...
hugging a pillow, she just wept and wiped her tears on the pillow sheet...
and then... a phone call caught Roger's attention...
Lish continued crying on... wiping more tears onto the pillow...
Seeing Roger occupied... I went over to try to give some comfort to her...
Again, she just said that she was all right... though still crying badly...
then, Roger passed me the phone.. it turned out to be Adrian...
The wushu was going to do some extra training in the morning for the next few days....
but unfortunately, I was starting work tomorrow onwards... so I couldn't join...
Besides that, Adrian also understood the situation of Roger & Lish and so stopped the conversation...


It was about time to leave... Roger asked me to go to the car first...
It had seemed that he wanted some 'real' personal time with Lish... so I complied, naturally...
but as there was some complications to the plan of me going to his car first.. but I thought I'll just wait for him downstairs... and did... closing the door to her room behind me...
I waited there.. sitting calmly at the living room... for quite a while.. about five minutes or more, if I'm not mistaken...
then, the two came down.. she was still sobbing...
Before we left.. I gave her a hug.... whispering to her that everything was going to be all right....
Then we left... and I got home... but I was still very worried about Lish...
Roger had mentioned during the time in the car that she had lost quite some sleep in the last few days cause of crying so often at night...
Well.. should be normal for her... cause during the time you try to sleep is when one's mind tend to think of 'things'.. anything, cause it can be boring moment.... and for those with a special loved one... the mind tends to think about that...
Since tomorrow was her time to go back to Brunei.. by car, if I'm not mistaken...
I thought I send her a few words of comfort through SMS.... and that for her to promise me to sleep well that night....

Now.. I really hope she's sleeping... though I have a feeling she might be crying right now... hopefully that's just me...
sigh.... Really hope she'll at least sleep for a few hours til tomorrow and not wake up in the middle of the night and need to try and sleep again...

Wow... this had been quite a long journal entry, eh?
hehe... sigh... well... the end of today I can say had been a double-edged sword...
One side of the edge, things had turned out quite all right and we had some good times together today...
The other side.... I'm really worried about Lish and I really hope she, at least, feels better now... and also I feel bad not being able to do more to help ease her emotional pain...
but.. that's life... Life on a scale... like that of a Libra**... eh?

**Libra happens to be my zodiac sign (horoscope) for some of you who didn't know that.

The Good, The Bad & The Balancing

Sigh... today wasn't exactly a good day... yet.. not exactly a bad day either...

Morning.. I drove to Curtin... to take care of the 'Summer Course' thing...
My mother wanted to know if the fees for the summer course is paid separate from the tuition fee (which has been paid in full, along with the scholarship)...
If it needs to be paid, then I can forget about joining this course...
Unfortunately, the summer course fees ARE paid separate from the tuition fee...
Luckily, I was able to discuss with the Student Service so that the tuition fee could be transfered to pay for the course... and I'll still have the goodness of having only FOUR subjects for my next semester... YES!!

Let me explain somewhat of what happened... I don't know exactly how important this is for my foundation-mates who are planning to join the summer course...
First of all, as I said before... the summer course needs to be paid separate from the tuition fee...
Since I have enrolled the courses, Malaysian and Moral Studies for the next semester.... I had to first withdrew the two from my next semester... and then take them during the summer course....
Which meant I needed to fill up TWO different forms... one to withdrew.. and one to register for the summer course....
I had the Foundation Course Coordinator, Mr. Kantha signed for the two forms and returned to the Student Services...
Now.. only thing left was to transfer the tuition fee to pay for the Summer Course...
Once they were done with that, I just needed to clear things up with the cashier about the transfer...
Since it seemed that the two course subjects in the Summer Course was less expensive than in the Semester... I'll be getting back a refund... in two weeks' time...
Another thing about this Summer Course thing... for the two LAN Units, Malaysian and Moral Studies... We'll need a minimum of 15 people joining it, according to the form I filled up...
Hopefully we'll have that many people of the Foundation joining.. at least....
I don't know if the Degree students joining this will be counted in that 15 people....

Well... with that over with... guess what I discovered as I was about to return home...
I had left my car keys in the car and locked it.... add that with slightly heavy rain and it equals to 'DOGGONE IT!'!!
sigh.. immediately, phoned Roger to help me out... he agreed to help, but he didn't know the road to Curtin...
since he will need to get the extra keys from my brother who's back at home... he asked if my bro could help guide him there...
Phoned home and then asked my bro so... as expected he was somewhat 'unhappy' by the news.... but he agreed anyway...
Waited the next half an hour before they finally arrived... with Lish at the back seat of the car...
My brother drove back home with the car... while I went with Roger & Lish...

The three of us went to Sin Yakin Food Center, which was near where I lived to eat lunch...
After that... went to my place... the 'adorable' (quoted from Azie) couple played a little with my sister's two dogs...
then went to watch some of the Anime series, 'Naruto' on ym brother's computer...
then came 2pm... went for badminton again....
Today... besides the three of us... there was Adrian Foo, Nellie & Kevin...
at the last hour of us spending our time there... two more friends came...
I don't know them, but Nellie does... and if I'm not mistaken.. this two are very experienced in badminton.. maybe are the ones I heard had represented Sarawak before or something like that...
I don't know... but in a doubles match with Roger against them, we lost... with much struggle to keep up with them...

Well... that's all then...
This Wednesday I'll be starting my work at my aunt's place for half of the month....
Tomorrow, Roger had planned for a movie outing to watch 'Ocean Twelve'....
To be honest.. this movie wasn't at all attractive to me... but he convinced me to go cause by Wednesday, Lish will return to Brunei, and who knows when she'll ever come back to Miri...
sad story here.... not to be revealled by me though.....

One Night Spend

Well.... the only thing special about yesterday happened at night...
Hmm.... but then again.. a few things happened during the day before night came...
Last night, as I said before, Roger had planned for a gathering at Pizza Hut in Parkson...

Morning, I got to chat with Azie & Tania on MSN...
The day before, I had send a SMS to Azie, inviting her to join us at Pizza Hut...
So... while we were chatting on MSN, she explained to me that she couldn't join cause that night, her brother was having a slumber party...
Then she invited me to join them.. for a visit....
I wasn't sure if I could... and had initial rejected the offer... but with a little persistent from Tania, I left the possibility of a visit opened...

Afternoon, nothing much happened... mostly quite bored...
Watched some movies on my brother's computer.. with him.....
somewhere along the way, Azie phoned me to help give a car pool... picking her up at her house and then going to pick Ankita up...
I would've immediately jumped to this... but thing was... I knew my mother would not allow me to drive cause her place is so far away... (to save fuel)
so I had to reject this favour.... After a while... I felt kind of... sad... that I sent a SMS to her apologizing that I couldn't help her...

I was able to get an 'ok' from my mother to go visit her place by evening time... and then I asked Adrian Foo to help give me a car pool...
He agreed to this favour, in return that I treat him for tonight's dining at Pizza Hut...

Night,
Roger came to pick me up... Picked up Lish & two more friends of theirs.... and then went to Parkson..
Boy, were we surprised by the number of cars there already...
good thing we found a parking space, at the same time as Adrian did... and quite close to his car even... but where we parked was quite far from Parkson itself...
Another two of their PRIME friends joined us....
Boy.. the place was crowded... sigh... needed to wait nearly half an hour later before we had a place to sit...
We got to enjoy the two pizzas and the Pepsi... etc...
along the way, turned out that Adrian had a family matter to deal with and couldn't send me to Azie's place....
luckily, Roger was able to help me... so after Pizza Hut, Roger, Lish & I headed to Azie's place...

We got there at 10pm... and spent more than an hour there... playing on her PS2.. hehe... played a lot of Mortal Kombat: Deception.... and in the end, some of Tekken 4 (between me & Roger)....
It was a fun time... lots of laughs...
then we headed home....
sigh... felt quite happy about yesterday...

now is the next day.... had Wushu practise this morning.... and the muscle in my left thigh is aching and so is the muscle behind my right knee...
sigh.... at least, I can safely be grateful for a fun semester break...

What is your true element?

I just took an online quiz on .:-What is your true element?-:. ....
and this is what I got in the end....


Your element is Light: Innocent, beautiful, kind-hearted and pure. You are so sweet your almost angelic, you find joy in others happiness and cannot stand to see anyone in pain. You want to make everyone around you to feel good about themselves and if someone is upset you can tend to become rather upset as well which means you are sympathetic and raise others above yourself. Being as kind and good-natured as you are people have most likely hurt you in the past but you pick yourself up every time. You may look fragile but you are stronger than most tend to see. Life is beautiful no matter how you look at it and you understand that people make mistakes, not everyone is perfect. You try to see the good in the bad which is a talent few posses, dont ever let anyone change you. You truly have a beautiful soul inside and a heart of gold.

-------------------------------

The above elements speaks of me in some manners and ways....
but I do believe this one practically SPELLS me...


Your element is Water: Understanding, intelligent, quiet and calm. You know who you are and no one can change that. Usually quiet but only because your listening, don't let anyone think you haven't got an opinion! Your not quiet because your shy or sad, your usually quiet because your thinking. Your answers are well planned and helpful so people generally seek your advice. Your the perfect balance between solitary and outgoing. But sometimes you need a little time to yourself to sort out your emotions and figure things out. You understand the phrase 'sticks and stone' and rarely let things get to you, whats that important for you to have to get so upset over? You know what you want out of life but are simply taking your time and enjoying things. To you your life is fine as it is, you can always change things later if your not happy.

======================

anyway... I believe this quiz was meant for girls... instead of boys..
but then... what's wrong with a boy getting to know more of his feminine side?

A Full Day out with Friends

Well... yesterday was a great day out...

Woke up at 11am yesterday (hehe) and when checked my cellphone... there was a message from Lish... She was wondering if me and Roger will be meeting her today or not...
then called Roger and he said 'Yeah'....
lunch as usual... went to PRIME to meet with Lish and after some things done there by Roger... we went to Boulevard for lunch...
after spending some time there... Roger sent me back before going off for more badminton that afternoon...
Why am I not joining him this time?
I did mention about going yam cha with Iqbal & Nadia, didn't I?

Waited an hour or so (Near 3pm), before Iqbal came to pick me up..
Arrived at Desserts and waited there for Nadia...
She came not long after... and we all had ice-cream, etc...
Hahaha... boy, did we have such good conversations and a lot of laughs....
we spent about two hours there... talking, laughing and enjoying each other's company...

Went back after that... then Wushu practise was next...
Adrian Foo was the one that picked me up to the indoor stadium...
For tonight, Roger & Nellie was able to join as well... I heard from Nellie that Shean Chuan couldn't join us because he was too tired from the badminton that afternoon...
As the practise proceeded.. Nellie had to go home early because at 10pm she needed to go to her attachment at Hospital Miri...
Before she did, Adrian made plans to visit her there...
So.. Wushu practise ended at 10... and so Roger, Adrian & I went to Hospital Miri...
There was a short drama that happened with Lish who had suddenly messaged me somewhere during the road trip... involving her wanting to leave for home at Brunei.. but yet not wanting to be separated from Roger...
But, with one *coughcoughlovecough* SMS from Roger... I can safely assume that she was happy for the night....
At Hospital Miri... met up with Nellie and got to take a look around the Accidents & Emergencies Department of the hospital...
we spent about half an hour more there... but nothing happened... as in no accidents or emergency during that time...
it was an 'ok' time there... the two doctors Nellie introduced us to were nice and friendly people...
after the time of talking, laughing and just 'wasting' time I suppose... we went home...

It was near midnight when I got home...
hehe... only next morning (now) then I bothered to write this blog of yesterday...
Tonight going with Roger, Lish, Adrian & I don't know who else to Parkson's Pizza Hut for some time together again....

Just updating today...

Nothing special for today... just updating on today...

nothing happened in the morning...
something only happened when Roger called me at noon...
Out to lunch... some badminton in the afternoon again...
Sure... then waited for a while before he came to pick me...

Went to eat at Boulevard.. the food court... I already ate when Roger called me... so I only watched...
There we met up with Lish and three other friends...
after a while.. Roger, Lish and I went around Boulevard... I went to buy a Christmas gift for someone.... while Roger went to look for some empty CDs...
After that... sent Lish to PRIME and then we went off to our usual badminton place...

Well.... today, those playing were... Roger, me, Adrian Foo, Kevin, Nellie & Sean Chuan...
Played for a few hours.. then Roger sent me back by evening time...

Hahaha... it's night time and just now got to talk to Liz & Nadia on MSN...
Hahaha... Liz warned me that I'd regret talking to both of them at the same time... but in the end, I'd enjoyed the conversation.. despite how crazy it was...
Hahaha! Those two often seem to be able to make me laugh just by arguing with one another.. Hahaha!

Well.. that's all lah... Tomorrow afternoon going to yam cha (basically out to drink or eat) with Iqbal & Nadia...
Anyone else going.. I don know... See lah, what happens tomorrow...

The Truman.. uh, correction... Tiang Show

Today had been quite a great day for me... though a little bumpy along the way...
Let me explained a little of what had happened before today...

I had asked Azie some time ago if we could go out and watch a movie or something some time... She agreed to.
Then, Roger had told me some time later that Lish would be going back to Brunei for quite a long while for the holidays after next week...
So he was planning to go out and watch a movie some time this week.. preferably tonight, cause the ticket price would've been RM5 only...
So, yesterday, I asked Azie if she wanna go watch a movie tonight... and thankfully she agreed... and Tania, her cousin would be joinning us too.

So.. most of the day of today was planning for our outing to the movie tonight...
when woke up this morning, went straight for the newspaper...
Just as I was about to look at the movie's section... Roger called...
We discussed a little of the time of the movie... which one... who to invite...
We got to decide on the movie, Toolbox Murders at 7.15pm...
We planned to invite Lish (of course), Adrian Foo, and some of his friends from PRIME...
We also planned to go to Parkson to eat dinner at 6pm...
Then end of phone conversation... it didn't take more than five minutes really...
With that plans set, I went to SMS Azie about it...

Then during noon.. my bro was actually watching a comedy horror movie, Shaun of the Dead...
I was getting into the movie when suddenly Lish SMSed me to join her and Roger at the coffee shop near my house... Yakin...
Actually, this afternoon, me, Roger and Adrian will be going to the gym at the Indoor Stadium....
however, I thought I just stick with this movie... but Roger somehow convinced me to join them with the next SMS... sheesh...
anyway.. joined the couple there... soon, we were off.
Lish had an extra course class that afternoon.. So Roger went to send her to PRIME College...
Since we still had half hour before our meeting time at the gym, Roger thought that we could 'waste' some time online there...
And we did... and even overdid it when Roger found a particularly simple yet fun online game....
The two of us got into a impromptu competition for the highest score.. which I got to win in the end.. hehe...

Quickly, we headed to the stadium...
Reaching there, we met Adrian, Nellie & Sean Chuan (my high-school's Head of Student Council 2003)...
Going in the gym... we did what any gym-user do... talk....
hehehe... well... we didn't do much of workout... Adrian, Nellie & Sean Chuan ended up in a long conversation... while Roger & I just played with some of the small weight balls....
Then.. somewhere along the time we spent there, Azie finally replied my SMS... she said that she, Tania & Ankita will join us at 6.30pm, and maybe with Darshana as well....
Actually, I had been worried if she was going to reply or not... I had miss called her a few times along the way... but was really glad that she replied in the end...
Well.. back to the gang in the gym.. we finally decided to go back early.. since we were spending more time talking than working out...
since he was free, Roger thought to go to my place to 'waste' some time....
At my house, he wanted to watch the Japanese anime series, Naruto.... which was on my bro's computer...
I let him watched... we only got to watch three episodes before he had to go at 4.30pm...
hahha, but at least we had some good laughs during that time...
Oh yeah... Adrian had refused to join us for the movie tonight... cause he felt like not going for his own reasons...
So, it turned out that Roger will be picking me up later...

Dressed and ready by around 5.30, I just waited for him...
Roger eventually arrived at my house at 6.10... then went to pick Lish and then we headed to Parkson...
Arrived there, we went to buy the tickets... Azie had contacted me along our road trip earlier... and told me to buy three tickets for them...
So did... six tickets...
Ate dinner at the food court while waiting for Azie, Tania & Ankita....
After a while, they arrived... introduced one another... then soon went to the movie, Toolbox Murders...
and also! three PRIME friends of Roger & Lish joined us last minute...


Well.. here's my review of the movie...
It's horrifyingly gruesome.... Lish came out of the cinema quite shakened... and most of us were left talking about those shocking and scary moments in the movie....
Toolbox Murders is an all right movie... though the reason for the murderer to go around killing so many people is not clearly explained.. or all of we just missed that detail in the movie...
The movie really scares you.. using human torture and abuse as the main theme in its murders... plus the music can really add a lot to the scare gauge...
Another reason why I like this movie is because it doesn't try to sell the movie by using famous or gorgeous-looking actors and actresses...
the main character, the heroine, was definitely not the type that would involuntarily grab every boy's eyes...
Though it seems that everything in the movie is reality world-based... it actually isn't 100% that...
There is a little of out of reality in this movie... like black magic...
Besides that, trying to figure out the murderer was really a tough challenge... and it'll turn out that the villain isn't as easy to realise than expected...
Me.. I only KNEW who the murderer was after I was able to understand mostly of what was happening and when the murderer finally showed himself... and that was quite near the end of the movie...
Another part of the movie that would really frighten you, or at least, it did to me... was near the end where the heroine and the hero got themselves in the murderer's 'hideout' / 'torture chamber'...
Well.. I'd recommend this movie for those who would enjoy or dare themselves for some jolts of fright or shock...
Hahah!, Azie was saying after the movie how Nadia should've been there with us.... just to see her reactions... hahah!
I'd like to see how Seryna be throughout this movie... haha!

Anyway.. after the movie, we, excluding the friends from PRIME, stayed longer at Parkson...
Ankita had to go and buy pizza... and while waiting for it, Roger, Lish, Azie, Tania, Ankita and I sat at a table in front of Sugar Bun and Pizza Hut...
It didn't take long before the pizza was done... with that, Ankita went back home with her mom...
Then the rest of us went around Parkson.. Tania had wanted to do some window shopping... along with Azie... for the holiday seasons I supposed...

Anyway... about half an hour or so, we were done...
Azie & Tania were to be picked up by Azie's father... so I went back with Roger and Lish...
After that... I was back home and now typing this blog entry...
Well.. honestly, I'm quite happy that I got to go out with Azie... although it wasn't exactly a date...

Well... hope that I can get to go out with her again some time....
We'll see....
Upcoming movies that I'm looking forward to... Kung Fu Hustle, starring Stephen Chow & Disney Production's National Treasure, starring Nichalos Cage....
