I have so many drafts but none of them are complete. I feel like for the past few months my motivation to blog is to burst out my anger within. But after that, I can't seem to have the guts to click the publish button, just because I don't want anyone to take it seriously or think that I'm another biatch who does nothing but mere talking.

Life has been much of ups and downs lately. Fark it...

It's her beating the guys.

It's like the girls topping the NBA.

It's like Annika Sorenstam winning the Masters, the man one.

It's her who finished the edge and hit the podium top.

You're the girl!!

So caught up with what I'm dreaming and yearning. For the dreaming and yearning it made me feel like I only live in what I am not in.

Gosh.... I just need to think outside the tiny lil' box for one sec!!!!!!!!

Just talked to dad bout his new oncologist. He's changing to another doctor because apparently the previous one doesn't work for him. He will be admitted to the hospital next week to clear off the water in his lungs. And also to try on new drugs and treatment which will be happening in the coming weeks. I felt bad enough for not being able to there for my family. Nothing comes worse knowing that mom and dad is going through a tough time.

I felt horrible today. Few days back, I was walking with him after class. I ask him what he had for his birthday. He kept quiet for awhile. The sudden silence didn't come just it. He told me, "I had cancer for my birthday." My mind went blank for a few seconds. I thought he was just joking. Well him being a guy with a quiet sense of humour, I didn't know how to react. So i just smile, and left for home.

I didn't keep it in mind until today when it was triggered with a cruel fact. He wasn't lying. Not only that, he was badly treated given his situation, from that witch whom we shared a common disrespect. Going through cancer is hard enough. Having to face it at 23, never does it come easy.
I felt it. And I wonder why...

I've not blog in a loong while. I mean, really sit down, think about and write something. I've been thinking about the past few months and how things changed in a matter a blink. And suddenly I feel the urge for jots. Well, the past few months have been dynamically changing indeed. I feel the earth move underneath every second as my life now evolves daily. From companionship to what I yearn for, all splits into the melting minutes as I count by. I am sitting here, looking back at the very moments shared and walked by, and the unexpected glances that has given me a mixed yet weired feeling. I recall...

We did some silly things...

Had the best pizza in the world.
Met some nice people...
Shot some crappy videos at some unexpected places...
And had the best time at the nicest place...

I miss my buddies... ) =

S.T.R

2008-01-17T14:38:00.000-04:00

I got this email from a friend and found it to be really useful. Since that stroke happens so commonly nowadays, it is good to know about how to save at the last call.

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T.R.

My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance)
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.

Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this... STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A

STROKE
Remember the "3" steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S * Ask the individual to SMILE .
T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg "It is sunny out today").
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 immediately!! and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is
Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue.
If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

After 20 days of colourful togetherness. Our adventures ended with a teary farewell at LAX. The trip continued with my solo journey to Atlanta.

I miss home, I miss the creek, I miss our crappy jokes... And the times we've been through, tough or rough, running up hills, and chasing cabs. I slept listening to their snores, and woke up to the ringtones of the wake-up calls.

Keith, and his evil laughters. i hope everything is going well for him in Kl.

Peiyin, but I bet she has forgotten bout me sobz.

Dan, sorry I have to make you wait for a week. But your fault for leaving us in the creek for a week!!

I miss you all and I heart you all!!

Ok I've been receiving threats and if that I don't update my blog. Well, it's not that I don't want to. But since that I'm travelling right now, it's abit hard to sit tight and type it all in.

Why?
Chicago - It was too cold to blog.
San Francisco - The hostel has got crappy wifi and it gets disconnected every 15 minutes.
San Jose - No Wifi at home. When I finally found a T2 at SJSU library. I was too busy finding places to stay in LA.

L.A. - I'm trying hard la. Ramada's connection is kinda slow.

I'll be heading to Liann's place on Wednesday, I hope she has Internet services.

It's the time of the year..

people starts leaving,

friends bid farewell,

Buies Creek turned quiet,

so quiet I almost felt it's ominous...

I hate saying goodbyes...

not because they can't be right beside you so often
but not knowing when you'll share the joy and laughter together...

For you...

I was talking to Keith about her, and suddenly Dan was like,"Huhh? Hey I know this girl wehh..."
So after some FB checking, dang it was her!!
"My teammates knew her, and this guy liked her!!"
I came a million miles and met someone who knew her.

....

I was reading blog. She's wrote this new post about her relatives wedding. Guess who I met?? I saw M, she was my classmate and we went to Langkawi together. Apparently, she is her niece. And she has a baby!!

What a surprise, but its a lil bit creepy tho...

Day 3 & horror 4

2007-10-30T02:10:00.000-03:00

The house where Lincoln died.

A little luxury... Swiss vanilla w' pretzel cone

...from Gliffords.

some hours later....

the horror begins...

waited here for 3 hours, flight delayed twice, then cancelled.
the shortest queue w' the longest wait time - 4 hours.
and carrying a 2kg laptop bag
alone in the ominous airport

Hanging around at the airport ain't fun. Especially when the United staff treated you like trash and yelled at you for no reason. Enough for not being able to go home, they make you wait, get tired, get pissed, and challenged your tolerance. 3 hours of waiting, 1 hour of wandering, 4 hours of queueing up, 1 more hour of misleading, and another hour of queueing all ended up sunk cost. I made a point to myself, for without a choice, I would NOT even think about United Airlines. Talk about good service, this is world class!!

and so after the Silk Road to getting a rebook flight, I finally landed @ Hilton Dulles - 1am

I deserve a treat, DESERVE.
and bathroom luxe

and after indulging myself for a short night after a long one.... Better hope that breakfast is treating me well too..
The LV napkin.
then back to napping..

..and wake up to thisextra treat..?

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

Back to horror-land... =(
Dulles is growing.
Potbelly sandwiches - ye' old wreck, thumbs up the yumminness...
..and the devil shops at Dulles too ;-)
Finally, legroom.
I could have been lying on my comfy bed, waking up to the majestic view of he lil' creek...
I'm just waiting to go home... ( =

series of incidently unfortunate events

2007-10-16T00:26:00.000-03:00

1. How hard is it to live with a family that parties every single night?? Not hard, just that you need tonnes of Redbull and pills to save your liver.

2. How can someone be so impatient to have their photos uploaded after "3" shots, and then every other 5 shots repeating the same process.

3. How can someone be so stupid to insert a MS into the slot without the adapter. Pushing it in ain't hard, using a pin to remove it sounds easy too, but it is even easier to break the 1gb MS into 2 pieces!!

4. How can you survive in a party with 40+ relatives and all of them drinks like they sleep in a lager bed?? Just pretend to be drunk and sleep the whole night.

5. How can you leave your camera at home when there are killer views all around? Well you've got no choice. The camera is a retard without the MS.

5. How can you forgive yourself for not taking any pictures of the beautiful London? You can, blame it on the one who crawl way aboove technology.

6. How can you survive 5 days with the same people that made your jaw drop outta horror? Just look at the calendar everyday.

7. I have a list to spill. But mere thinking of it is horrifying enough.

However bad it is, I wanna thank Markie for making part of the trip enjoyable. I felt like a VIP among the fooooties...

from Good Hope.

The bed became my soul ground. I thought about things, and people.
I am thankful, for it wasn't 3 inch closer, nor it was 10mph faster.
I'm a lucky girl, for I have all of you, just when I thought I almost lost all of y'all.

From the minute it bled, til the second it was signed. Never I was distanced a yard away. My 3 buddies, I could not thank you more for what y'all have done.

The small surprises in between the petals are my motivational verses. It had kept me company and lift me up again when I'm all blue. My dear boss, thank you for the smiling gerberas and lilies.

You walked me through in times of mental distress and physical pain. Thank you dear J, you being beside me meant more than anything else.

My dear mates - Sorry for keeping it from u guys. Worry not, I'm all fine (=

He - will ask you the questions that will trigger your heart button.

He - will give you answers that will mark the love periods.

He - will drive you up and down like a roller-coaster.

He - will then make you fall from the cliff and hold you right up again.

He - will tell you the sweetest words you can ever imagine.

He - will colour the white pages of your life.

He - will make you let loose of your independence.

He - will then make you addictive to his presence.

He - however, is a myth.

Ah Moi, please wake up, I can't be helping you with it all the time...

When you're alone, thinking of the things you left back...

When you're alone in a cold and cruel place, diving into the notes that were left posted and not noted...

When you're alone, trying to put deep thoughts in things that was hidden underneath the plate...

And you start to feel like this...

2007-08-24T03:09:00.000-03:00

I have not been updating this blog, guess the summer heat really made people laze around loads.. I'll be going for camping tomorrow at Raleigh. Lakes, kayaks and barbeque.. Yumm...

flying...

2007-08-20T04:07:00.000-03:00

They have been threatening me to blog, and now so... After 2 homeless days in the sky and 4 very jetlagged nights, here it is, how I got from boleh-land to now, ulu-land...

Darling Liann & I @ KLIA.

Mom & Dad, sending me off...

Burger King, last meal in M'sia.

They should name this rock sandwich with crap tasting cream cheese filling.. Eeww..

Last one to be served, again, I've been eating the same Satay Chicken Rice for the past 3 MAS flights. Not good.

Narita Airport for a 7 hour tour.

So tempted to buy this.

But bought these 3 instead.

And these cutsies..

My lunch.

I seriously need to learn how to pack lightly.

UA's food, way better than MH.

And so you I thought it was healthy...

Alcoholidistic.

and this is what I ended up with...

Kid you nay, the chesse omellete was so so good.

Landed at Chicago Airport. Carrying all these by myself, heading to Terminal 1.

..and they expect me to have a wand?
Not much pictures of ORD, I was an mm close to missing the connecting flight to RDU, that's all because they're smart enough to NOT have any signs and takes forever at the Immi & Cust. Imagine me running from Terminal 5 to Terminal 1, I kid u not, I seriously RAN!!

Heading to Raleigh...

And reunited with my sororitiy sisters... K & P

After 30 long torturing hours, this is where I first hit in NC, golfing!!

First meal @ NC, Sushi Blue.

And this is where I stay... ( =

Just got back from the hospital. Not good, dad's situation aren't going any better. First and second line of meds used, now moving to last line, tablets.

And yet, people can't do any better by talking good.

I'm thinking if this is the right time to leave.

love and faith

2007-08-09T03:38:00.000-03:00

I admit, I'm a calculative person. I fall outta love easily. And its just so hard for me fall in love. Things I see often showed me the portraits of lies than the frame of goodness. Its hard believe in a relationship, much less about falling in love?

Case 1
You saw your best friend on bed with another girl, naked. And his girlfriend stood right beside you, giving you the look, the look that tells you the worse, and expecting you to do something about it. What would you do, to save yourself from the awful scene?

Case 2
You know the both of them, both married, not to each other, and yet, both of them are together. One day and out of a sudden, the lad tells you that he's having an affair, and even tells you the passion of it. Would you give him a slap of disgrace, or just be quiet and look at the stupidity of it?

Case 3
Someone tells you how much he liked you, confessed and speaked out. But the timing was bad enough and you have to tell him the possibility of none. And just after it, he stopped making an effort or even to call. Well I guess guys don't make investments that aren't fruiful in a short term?

Just some thoughts about it. Well, life's like that.

hair

2007-08-07T13:11:00.000-03:00

I coloured my hair today.

M: Wow, its... gold, hmmm, gold.

A: You better not open your mouth and speak chinese, I bet you know what you look like if you did.

N: You looked like, hmmm, a HongKee, I mean, those typical Hong Kee?

D: Hmmm, its hmmm, short?

I guess its a disaster. ) =

doubts

2007-08-06T01:56:00.000-03:00

Often I ask myself whether a person is being genuine to us or other wise. To define genuinity is as hard as having a genuine one. Friendship is somewhat that add colours to life, but at the same time, it is as fragile as it requires much handling as any other precious things. In prosperity and adversity, we know our friends and in vice verse too. I recently discovered a friendship that seems genuine as it is, or very much close to my heart, for what the grace that comes with the care and songs that are being sung to the forgotten heart. And eventually you start to invest your trust in this relationship, until, the day you stumble upon the very things that your friend do to (not you), but to his/her other friend. And I started to think... Though I am not the victim, but I can't help but ask myself, will I be one some day?

For that some one who...

- holds a place in your heart

- gave you his/her care and trust

- you would not neglect his/her feelings and anger

- makes you feel in fidget when he/she is in furious over something you did

- puts a different smile on your face

And when IT happened...

- Would you be putting him/her down in order to make yourself feel/look better?

- Or bitch about him/her to gain respect from other people?

- Or even to divert the attention to another potrait to save your own grace?

I wonder, and I still care, but its hard to not think about it.

It is your thought that gave the extra meaning to it.

The meaning that enhances the capturing moments it produces.

The care and wishes that will be embedded into its every pixel.

And each snap resembles a pleasant memory to be shared along the way.

Kal-Al

2007-07-23T10:56:00.000-03:00

This entry has been in my draft for a few days, told myself I'm gonna complete it today.

Actually, I wanted to write something about my former colleague - Kal-Al / Faisal / Al, who left MAX 4 days earlier than I do haha... What about Al?

His real name is Faisal, but I guess Al is his nama glamour.
He's got this excessive compulsive disorder, try mess / move his stuff for 1mm, he freaks out!!
He hates garlic.
He's a typical ManUre fan. Ahhh...devals...
He eats really slow, cutting all dishes into 1cm x 1cm before chewing it.
He plays football with his hands. (no he's not the goalkeeper)

Hmmm today is the first day without Kal-Al in the office, officially. Really not used to it lah, with no practices, guess my Comeback Queen title will soon fade away lah.. Can't just stand up and start kutuk laser already. Sigh, no more competitors, no syok nehh...

I was pretty taken aback when I found out about this. I was very disappointed and startled by how things can be done (do) in that way. I always thought that doing things in steps would be the right way and eventually it leads to the better path, without having a put your feet on guity stones. I always thought that people may can never always have the chance to be a position they yearn for, or working a job they want. Dad always tells me that we need to work hard for something, be it whether you like it or not, these are things that you need to go through before achieving something that you think comforts you best. And from, the good and bad teaches you the life lessons you need. Never I knew, I might be wrong, but this is how it was being showed, I could have stand on a higher ground, easily by just opening my mouth and tell people what I want and expecting them to give it to me. Simply because I know that things have to be done accordingly to protocol, or at least learn to use your wings before you fly. Frankly, I can't say that I love my dee dos for all these months, but at least, I've picked up teachings along the way. I did not regret for committing my time in a les-interest ground, but just that there are times when I'm piss at myself, asking me if, will I change my flying plans, for if I am given a chance to do what I am passionate for?

Life, Themis, how often does it exists in real life?

Themis & Kamikaze

2007-07-11T06:13:00.000-03:00

Themis, the blind-folded woman holding a set of scales. Her ability to foresee the future enabled her to become one of the oracles at Delphi, which in turn led to her establishment as the goddess of divine justice.

Justice, or should I say fair judgement. How often can we find this in real life? Seeing it as equal treatment, I doubt that people can lay their scales in a balancing manner. I have today tasted the disgrace of such awfulness. I asked myself, is it worth approaching the source? Or mere looking is plain sufficient? I've thought about it, I decided that, my kamikaze-ing activities need to put on hold, at least for the time being, until I've decided otherwise.

-There are times when some plain things made you someone... someone that is. -

I'm in total cheery mood. Sunday was memory-reviving. It reminds me of my oldie days back in St. Mary's. Multitasking. Cheerleading days was fun, minus the ehem teacher part, it was fun. The months of practices, days of brainstorming, hours of yelling.... For the ONE day of competing. But its the memories and experiences that lasted so long.

Sellors didn't win this year. But still, they've put up an awesome performance. Mah Sellors girls, I'm darn proud of y'all.

头发乌黑又稠密
当药物使那美丽的黑发一一掉落时
爱美的他干脆把头剃光了

我搞不懂我要做什么
只是清楚了不想要做什么

我不讨厌环境
我不讨厌上班
只是尝试了现实生活的滋味

你就更不应该把痛苦牢固在心上

短短的几天
让我看了一个故事
听了一个画面
原来人可以在得意时许下诺言
喜欢时抛开承诺
必要时隔离朋友

孤单并不是快乐的
既然讨厌孤单
为何还能忍心让她一个人的心情
度过漫长的碧海蓝天呢？

Up Northeast - Day 1

2007-06-13T23:08:00.000-03:00

Morning flight's a real bith, I barely have enough sleep. Hmm blame it on my last-minute do's, where I only started packing like 4 hours before heading to KL Sentral. The bus was supposed to leave at 5am. Guess what, I only woke up at 4.30am, and the rush was huge biatch. Things didn't really go smooth, til my bumm touches Airasia's comfortabaly tiny seats, I decided I should have all my fun trippin' and forget about chaotic KL.

The Silk Road to fly.

Fly...

From air to sea, feel the breeze...

Just in case, jenai's hubby's not here tho.

Day 1 was real hectic, half the day was spent travelling road + air + sea. So the afternoon was spent mahjong-ing, sleeping, and chilling. Dinner was superb, we had tomyum and the best ever calamari rings. Sun, Sea, and Yellow man, what more can you ask for?

What more can you ask for?"

There's a time when we're still licking our lollipops, and knowing only sweetness as the only taste.

There's a time when we crash our bikes into drains and still have a big laugh about it.

There's a time when we tie each other's shoe laces, and thinking that why strings have to be tied.

There's a time when kiddie moments sweetens your relationship and the sweetness turned into a sweetheart.

There's a time when you get so used to each other, and the distance made you realized the need of each other.

There's a time when you were part of my soul, and gave each other strength through falling parts.

There's a time when we realized we mistaken our togetherness, and decided to move apart.

There's a time when our distances got so faraway, and we were so afraid of losing the grip.

There's a time when we start to hold our hands back together, and made our freindship to be ever solid again.

Never I realize, earth moves, world evolves and things changed...

Never I imagine, you would lie your love and friendship to me...

Never I think, you would still affirm on what you did...

Never I know, I'm that stubborn to hear what I see...
Stubborn enough to not runaway from you.

Deep inside my heart, I still believe in you.
But deeper inside, I'm losing faith in you...

-Mr. J, I hate to tell you, but I'm afraid soon I'll learn to hate our memories and years together.-

Thai Express Horror

2007-05-12T12:08:00.000-03:00

My gums have been swollen for 2 very long days. Just got better today, thought I'm gonna treat myself with a decent meal at least. But I made a dumb mistake, the last I had a meal at Thai Express wasn't that good. The chicken was not cooked, and imagine putting in raw chicken in my mouth, with the soup that tasted like roaches blended with pineapple, eewww... And I'm stupid enough to go there again.

I ordered tom yum kung with chicken. No raw chicken this time, and guess what, they give you ayam basi!! And the waiter looked as if my taste bud went wrong or something. Even the ice-lemon tea was crap. Bitter and tasted somewhat like dish-cleaning liquid. And the best part is, the waiter told me that "THIS IS HOW ICE-LEMON TEA TASTE LIKE". What heck, I'm over my limits, and spoke to the manager, and requested for an exchange. Fine, I got it changed, but the 2nd one is no better than the first one. FINE, instead of hoping the ice-lemon tea to taste miraculously good, I ordered thai lime juice as replacement. Arghh, almost crap too.

Nevermind then, my appetite was half gone. I decided to take anything, so long as it's not with chicken. There came the Pineapple Fried Rice. I would say, don't expect good food here.

Arghh.. Culinary Nightmare.

Its been quite some time since I last met my sorority sister, Ken. Well, I not sure if I came on the right time or what, since that the place got into something that day. Well, and maybe because of that, Ken and I really got the chance to sit down and spill. Seems like everyone is going through the same ups and downs, its just that the character in it differs. Life's like that, when trouble comes, it'll come in loads. But when you meet people going through with you down the winding road, you tend to enjoy every ups and downs on the way up. ( =

Nick - (or xiao qi qi) I've seen him grow, from a shy kid during the auditions, to a handsome-looking-heart-stealing lad. Nick is one sincere boy, he treats all his friend with a true heart. He's one of the singers that gained most in the months of TT, willing to learn and fix with no complains. He pushed himself so much that --> BOOM, I was really proud of him when hit the first note that night. When he told me he got into the finals, I almost cried. Its hard to put it in words, the warmth that you feel, and the metamorphorsis metaphor. That's the kinda heart, that hits. Nick, I'm so proud of you. ( =

health malaise

2007-03-21T04:45:00.000-03:00

Dear friends,

I never knew that one day I would be wrting something like this. As the only child, I have a very close relationship with my parents. Its more like a depend on each other so much, that nothing would be complete for without one another. Just last week, my dad finally surrendered on our naggings and gets a proper medical check-up. And didn’t we expect that, the check-up turned out to be life-changing. His chest x-ray showed a mass shadow on the right lung, and the CT scan showed that there was a tumor as big as the size of an apple. After a painful and mentally-torturing biopsy, the doctor confirmed that he is now having stage 4 lung cancer.

The news did come all of a sudden, but not the symptoms. My dad has been coughing for the past few months, and his voice sometimes sounded like a duck screaming. Within a few months, he has lost almost 7 kilos. And the news finally confirmed what we wish not.

My dad has been a smoker since he was 20, reaching the peak of more than 1 ½ packet per day. Ever since I learn the art of being talkative and debating, I would nag about his habit day and night, and eventually he would end up smoking at a tiny corner in the kitchen right below the exhaust fan. Although in recent years, he had cut down on the daily packet regime. But still, after 36 years, I believe he has taken more than 250000 sticks of cigarette. Even the doctor said, it would be impossible, for if the cancer is not caused by smoking.

It’s hard to put in words on how I feel now. I sometimes blame myself for not being pushy enough. But whatever the pain is, nothing can be more than distressing than how my dad feel now. He blame himself for not listening to us, and not being thoughtful enough to think of his loved ones when telling us that ciggies are his better friend than we are. For so many years, he’s been calling the cigarettes his friend and companion, and now, his best friend had betrayed him. It’s heart aching when I look at my dad, and how sorry he felt, for the fear of leaving his family behind. It is not the pain of the illness that hurt most, but it is when seeing your loved ones cry and the feeling of fearing that you’re not able to do anything to thank and treasure the dearest things that you have in life, wound the heart and soul most.

We all know smoking is bad for health, and quitting it is even more difficult than just giving up. Perhaps we can try having the thoughts on what will happen to us or maybe our family 20, 30 years later. Money can maintain good health, but no money can buy good health. It is not the words or action that matters, but it is the inner will that matter most. J

Badminton

2007-03-12T00:49:00.000-03:00

The long dry spell - Malaysians winning the All-England doubles, and me even watching badminton matches.

I was trying to recall when was the time when I actually watch badminton matches, without even switching channels in midst. There was a time when I was really following the game. I loved those days when the games were really entertaining, and its hard to predict at times, and times when Indons dominated the sport. It was a great indonesian team ever. (Susi Susanto, Heryanto Arbi, Chandra Wijaya, Ricky Rexy's, and those mad tough Chinese players like Xia Xuanze, SunJun, etc. Bizarre shots and do-or-die attitutes. The long rallies were indeed entertaining. Indons have always have great defensive plays, the opponent would often gave up in the end. But yeah, those were the days. I was out of badminton since secondary days. And now when I start coming back to the sport, pretty much to my surprised none of the Indons made it to the finals of either categories. But the Chinese however, are still monopolizing the scene.

Anyhow, I am indeed impressed, the way our Malaysian duo played was a kick ass show. Initially I was worried that they will start to lose their form after the first set, like what some Malaysian players always did. Lucky its not proven a cursed norm. The second set was a quickie. Kick ass again. Lets hope there will not be another drought and spell in winning another title.

May glory and victory be with us, and stays. ( =

From Liann, darn I love the box.

...and the earrings.

Berry and beau.

the break in

2007-01-31T03:46:00.000-04:00

As I thought I was laying my arse comfortably at the lobby lounge, the last thing I would expect is that I would receive a call saying that my house is being broken into!! Yes indeed, I couldn't help but feel shytloads on my way back to KL. Who would expect my trip would end in a high note?

And as I step in to my newly ransacked house. Much to my surprise, its in a total mess in each and every single room. Those idiots truly deserve the arsehole award for causing pain in my arse. I'm seriously cursing them bottoms' up for taking every single precious items from my once-thought asylum.

The damages:

My room.
Stuffs thrown onto the floor.

My bed, ransack ground.

Jewellery box, GONE.

Closet room, in thorough rummage.

Drawers, rummage 2.

The biggest mess.

Empty ang paus, and emptied bags.

Laundry basket, GONE.

Apparently, they don't favor Vodkas and Irish Cream.

Hennesy, GONE.

X.O, GONE.

Chivas, GONE.

Jackie Chan's authographed photo, GONE.

Empty cabinet, priceless.

The damage.

Please be careful, even when you're at home. It's best not to keep valueables at home. Sigh... it's pretty upset, when you're losing stuffs that you love, especially those that has been around for generations. Ishh, not one single doubt, in course of profanities I should say, whatsoever, I really hope their house was broken into as well, so that they can really feel what other people feel, when they've lost things that are so precious to them. I'm praying hard. Please make them lose what they've stolen from me, and give it to some other people who truly deserves it, like me. Haha...

money malaise

2007-01-25T04:04:00.000-04:00

Money is the root of all evil.

My thoughts on it, very much true but not to the extent, but devil would be, not how ill will it is, but indeed how it is magneting angels and demons to my gullible mind. Money is often a luxe guide to many/all, even I sometimes think like that. It doesn't really matter when in times you're not in the battle trench. But when you ARE, it DOES matters. Especially when putting equality and the whole resolution in business.

Three months ago, I asked myself if I am stupid: No.
A month ago: Not really.
Now itself: Very much indeed. 700 is indeed a big number, to me, now, as I realised the number is getting bigger and bigger day by day.

Thinking back... Probably I shouldn't have made decisions based solely on my instincts. I thought... but it didn't. I couldn't feel happier when there are great people. But I couldn't feel worse when time past and I realise of how much more I could gain by just turning back to the things that would provide me better luxe and the sumptuosness in every taste. Especially in times like this when I am wearing a heavier weight belt, often sinking me instead of helping me in the buoyancy of everything money world.

Education - The Big Project

2007-01-17T02:53:00.000-04:00

"Students who can think out of the box – that is the type of students that the Prime Minister wants schools to produce. "

For years, kids in Malaysia are taught in a disasterous system. Being taught in the Malaysian education system myself, I'm taught to chuck up and swallow whatever things given to you. The outcome? See lah, who thinks that memorising 82 of your moral values is the best way to have moral values. I see myself a sea of no-rise hands. And I'm proud to tell everyone that I actually got an A for my History, but who knows I don't even know a dung about And all of a sudden the government wants people to think 'out of the box'? But for these years, the 'box' is getting bigger and bigger, eventually, getting out of reach, in great gratitute to the miraculous and genius system set up since our papa's time. How do they expect US to think out of the box, when that ehem, person who ask us to think 'out of the box', is not even leading a system to get out of the box, much less talking about thinking out of it?

The current system proved to be a failure itself. But it is indeed a norm, coming up with new policies and system to cover the arses of previous mistakes, often seen glamourising the new set up, in hoping that people will diverse attention from their negative views. Thinking about it, how many of these new "set ups" will eventually end up better than the previous failed mission? I recall NONE. This story will end no where, nor time is enough to narrate the age-old tale. But ask me about how I was being educated (in school). Well-(told)...

cooking the bird

2006-12-24T20:45:00.000-04:00

My first time cooking this big fat bird. I've hunted like a gazillion recipes, but ended up not using any haha... I'm sharing my cooking thoughts here though, the main reason is because - the bird taste not bad, enough for the whole Bolton gang to finish it haha... Yayy... Merry Turkey!!

1. Get a bird, brine it in salt water, overnight.

2. Remove turkey from salt water, drain it, and rub with salt and rosemary.
3. Prepare stuffing
- Saute chopped onions and garlic.
- Add in minced meat, salt & pepper to taste.
-Add in celery, apples, and tear bread into pieces.
-Add in few scoops of chicken broth to make sure the stuffing is moistured.
-Remove from it. Let cool.

4. Stuff the bird.

5. Place carrots, potatoes and celry on a baking tray. Pour in chicken broth. Place another tray on top of the vegetables, and put the chicken above it.

6. Wrap the turkey with diamond foil, then bake it for 3-4 hrs depending on the size of the bird. Remove the foil on the last 40 minutes to give the bird a golden brown colour.

Tadaaa......

my planning plans

2006-12-22T04:32:00.000-04:00

I was browsing Jac's blog and my cheeky boss well as usual, can't help my stick his head to anywhere which interests him, nothing unusual for someone with exceptionally high curiousity. Its been quite some time since I last compose entries in his blog. Thank me for that, our photoblog isn't going any further. Like the conversation I had with Omid yesterday...

Ann: What are your plans for Vancouver?
Omid: Hmmm... So I've applied for some jobs in Vancouver, and Seoul as well, will see how it goes, will teach English maybe. Probably after Seoul, will head back to Bangkok. So Ann, what are your plans then?
Ann: Ermm... I don't know, yet. But I'm planning to plan for a plan.

Know me, it's just so so hard for me to really think of what I wanna do, much less pack it up and start doing the things which I've planned. I really feel sorry for Jacob, for not doing the things that we've planned together. Maybe for the new year, I should start finish doing all the things which I've promised, instead of planning for new things which I doubt I'll ever march myself up to the starting line. I thought of listing a wishlist on the side bar, well... maybe a to-do list will be better lahh!!

The big draft
1. Complete the travelogue
2. Photoblog
3. Help Ruth plan her wedding
4. Complete our second part of the journey - Indochina
5. Pay bills on time
6. will add on later.

water malaise

2006-12-21T02:01:00.000-04:00

I haven't been watching the news. Bad thing that I didn't know how serious the flood is in the Southern part. Now that I know, I'm worrying sick. Soh is now in Segamat, the worst hit area. I never thought of things like this but, having your close ones in places like this. It just ain't good man. They've got no water, and I mean no water to drink, much less to bath. No food, no water = no food. Places got looted, and everywhere is a mess. He told me how water can rise in a matter of hours, and up til waist level, then covered the whole place up to the ceiling. Freaky though. Things like this sounded like dooms day to me. And even worse, u know your close ones are right in the middle of it, it just couldn't feel any better. I don't know, sigh... I miss Soh.

new turf

2006-12-21T00:01:00.000-04:00

I've been moving around this few months. Finally, I ended up here - Blogger. I really am too lazy to transer all my previous entries here, well maybe I will...hmmm at least my Thai entries here. Just hope, again, I won't end up at the wrong turf, again.

my boss

2006-12-20T00:19:00.000-04:00

Hi people, if you're wondering who's my boss, hmmm...

Hey Boss, Happy Birthday!! New Year resolution 2007, pls refer to the above picture

back to my land

2006-10-13T12:30:00.000-03:00

I'm back to my land. Life lessons learned. The lessons however, didn't go along well. It wasn't what I had expected. Long story cut short, I just felt that there are many other ways to help them. But using them in a money generating business and portraying them as human exhibits is indeed unacceptable, to me at least. I feel blessed, for being what I am and having what I have now. Having my family with me, even harder to describe the gladness in me.

Travelling is a bliss, or many would say a great enjoyment. To me, the anticipation gives even greater feel. Few hours and counting, I'm leaving on a jetplane and off to the land of smiles ( = , as the anticipation grows to realtime.
