Nine King Coconuts Festival =)

Finally,the Nine Emperors Festival is back and it begins today. Like most Penangites, I will be observing a strict vegetarian diet for nine days. I had been quite successful for the past few years and hopefully, I'll be able to pull it off again this year. I need to keep delicious non-vegetarian out of sight so that I will not be tempted to lay my fingers on those food. Remember the saying, "Out of Sight, Out of Mind"? It is going to come into practice for this festival =)

Osmond's classic

I was browsing through youtube when I stumbled upon a song which I had not listened to for a long time. It's none other than Love Me For A Reason. Please note that I am referring to the version by the Osmonds and not Boyzone. No doubt Boyzone is great, but it's just that the Osmonds is slightly better =) Apologies to any Boyzone's fans out there.

Here is part of the lyrics which I deem as the most important part of the whole song.

Kisses and caresses are only minor tests, babe
of love lead to stresses between a woman and a man.
So if love everlasting isn't what you're asking
I'll have to pass, girl and proudly take a stand.
I can't continue guessing, because it's only messing
up my pride, up my mind, so right now is time to tell ya.

Don't love me for fun, girl, let me be the one, girl.
Love me for a reason, let the reason be love.
Don't love me for fun, girl, let me be the one, girl.
Love me for a reason, let the reason be love.

Mr. Wisdom Tooth

"Is the emergence of wisdom tooth going to make me wiser?", I asked Pauline on the msn.

This took place just days before the exam commenced. I was really hoping that the answer will be a big yes. Mainly because I was in a desperate need for some brain power during that one week ordeal which was full of self-inflicted stress and intimidation by better-prepared friends.
I waited patiently for her reply. She was quite slow. But I was willing to wait.

"Well, if you can actually think of asking this question, then you are wise enough", she said.
Hmmm..that's a great answer. Most importantly, I liked it. At least it proves that I am 'wise' in certain ways. *smirk*

However, not long after, I learnt of a dark truth from mum.
She said that each of us will have four wisdom teeth. Two at the top and two at the bottom. Whaaaaa----ttttt. That is bad. Real bad. The pain that was caused by one wisdom tooth is bad enough to make me skip a few meals or go for liquid food. And now, we will have FOUR of those teeth in our life? It had better make me real wise by the time four of them had erupted from my gum.

Worse still, mum said that these teeth are non-functional and they will have to be extracted once they are 'matured'.

This is high maintenance, don't you agree? Looks like the dentists will be making a fortune helping people like me to extract our four wisdom teeth.
Hmm...after further thinking, I think I will just let them reside in my mouth. After all, these 'residents' are part of me. And they show that I am indeed 'wise' enough. Hence, why get them out?

And if they are not much of a nuisance, perhaps I will consider to offer them a 'permanent resident' status as long as they abide by the rules set by me. First of all, they are not allowed to disturb me from eating. Second, they are not allowed to cause me further pain. And third, they will have to work hand-in-hand with my other 24 teeth to make sure that the food that enters my mouth are properly chewed into bits before travelling down my throat.

Not much of a request, right?

Melamine scare

Kudos to China. Once again, YOU have not failed to grab the public attention. Having emerged as the overall champion in the Olympics 2008 barely a month ago, it has once again received another 'honour'. I'm sure almost everyone on planet earth would have known about the milk powder scandal that hit China a couple of days ago.

In fact, the articles of 'tainted milk powder produced in China' made headline in most of the dailies around the globe.

Sad to say that there are actually people in this world who will do anything for their own benefit. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the number of babies that had fallen sick and died because of the tainted milk powder. They are babies, for God's sake!

Each and every one of them has a life, just like all of us.

I am sure they would have known prior to production that melamine is extremely poisonous and detrimental to human health. Not only to the babies, but to the adults as well. So if they had known in the first place that melamine would cause kidney stones or kidney failure, why did they still carry on with the production? Where was their conscience when they actually decided to do this? Had they no idea that all these babies are someone else's baby? What if their own children or grandchildren are fed with the same milk supply? Think, people. Think!

And to my horror, the milk powder is not the only product that is contaminated, other dairy products like yoghurt, choc bar, ice cream and even sweets have been tested positive for melamine as well. This is scary...This unscrupulous China men are totally brainless. How many lives do they want to claim before they finally stop? Guess what. If I were to judge their case, I will not put these perpetrators behind bars yet. Not so soon. I will make them drink and eat all the milk and food that contain melamine. Let them suffer. Let them taste the melamine. Let their kidney rot! Hahahaha...Am I evil? Of course not! Look at how many deaths they've caused? F-O-U-R. And I really hope that the number will just end here.

So, in a nutshell, I am just doing a favour on behalf of all the parents of the babies. I just want them to suffer the way their babies did before they even had the chance to call their parents 'papa' or 'mama'. Hmmph!

That's me! Doing justice for the world!

Touch me and I will spell DIE for you.

Oh oh oh oh....

It's a Saturday. And oh, it's exceptionally quiet this morning.
It also marks two more days to exam.

I had a really bad tummy ache this morning.
Do you think it might be contributed by my humongous appetite?
Yesterday, I had half a pomelo all by myself . But to think about it, it's not THAT much after all.

Saturday used to be the day that I always looked forward to. Now, it's just an ordinary day.
Looks like the following days will still be ordinary...

I need something to perk me up!

~S.U.R.P.R.I.S.E.S sounds like the word~

One more thing, this is my horoscope for the month of September...It says,

Pluto, your ruler, will help you to get everything you’re hoping for this month. That after-school job you really want? Apply and you’ll be hired! That guy you’ve been seriously crushing on for months? He can easily be yours too—all you have to do is make your move now!

So, reveal yourself, Pluto...I'm all ready for you. Quick! Give me what you are supposed to give me. You have to. You have no choice...*laughing hysterically*

Don't try to run away, Pluto. I will get you.
*disappear into the air*

Thank God it's Friday. Again?

The pain continues...
Is it time for a dental appointment?

Mouth

Ouch!
My 'good friends' are here again. They are the 'mouth ulcer', 'gum ache' and also 'tooth ache'.
They love to visit me when exam is just around the corner.
Perhaps they know that I will eat when I am stressed out and that is why they are here to prevent me from committing the 'crime'.
Sigh. These friends only spell trouble for me. Now I can't even have a proper meal due to the discomfort that I'll encounter while munching my food.

Before I forget, allow me to voice out my disgruntlement.

Tell me. Isn't library a place where we can study without any disturbance? I thought it is.
So, there I was in the library, trying to enjoy the silence while keeping my eyes on the book. And then, I was distracted by two inconsiderate students who chattered non-stop.
Even though they were warned with a 'shhhh' by some other students, they were unfazed and still, they continued talking like they own the library.
Oh, God!
Can't they read the sign that says 'no talking'?
They might think that they were whispering but in fact, they were not. I wanted to confront them, but I was scared. Lol. Oh, and did I mention that they were girls?
If they want to talk, by all means, go OUTSIDE and TALK.
I came to the library at 9am, hoping to study. I did not want, and I was certainly not interested to hear them talking.

As a result, I barely finished the first chapter of Operations Management.
Okay, I should stop blaming them. I should have started revising earlier.

Oops. Did I mention earlier that I will stop blogging?

Time's up.

Exam is coming to KDU

Since I don't want to blame myself, can I just blame it on others instead?
Chia Mei, do you know that you got me so hooked to Bloxorz (a computer game)?
(she doesn't read my blog, so I can just put the blame on her :P)
Now that I spend so much time in Bloxorz, I realize that I don't even have the time to revise all the 5 subjects for the exam. Even those who are hardworking (my course mates) find it impossible to finish everything, what more someone like me who spends 4 hours a day, cracking my brain, in hopes of proceeding to the next level of the game. Worse still, the exam falls on this Monday..Arrghhh! I need to RELAX, CALM DOWN and then...STOP MY GAME AND START STUDYING!

I hate this. Do you know that the word 'Bloxorz' registers so deeply in my brain that I can even dream about playing it even in my sleep? Lol.
Am I crazy? I hope not.
Am I obsessed with the game? Certainly yes...

Now that I cannot get my hands off the keyboard, I can only pray and hope and pray again to the Almighty to stop me from dreaming at night.

Oh yeah, and no more blogging too!

Signing off.
Wish me luck.
Lots of it.

You must not only know how to eat, you must also know how to prepare. Understand?

As mum was rather busy last night, my maid took over and prepared dinner. Omelet was among the dishes that she had cooked for us. I guess she thought our salt was very cheap, and that was why she added more salt into the egg mixture. As a result, the omelet was salty! Extremely salty.
Feels like I was eating fried salted egg instead. Worse still, she didn't believe me when I told her that. Okay, fine. I asked her to taste for herself and see if I was lying or not.
So, she took a bite, smiled and said, "Ya hor, masin sikit..Hahaha".

Duh...

But somehow, we didn't want to waste our food. Therefore, we tried to finish the omelet and we actually succeeded. Yeah! Mum said that if we do not waste food now, we will have more food to eat in the future. Sounds good, huh? I am looking forward to that.

Today is a public holiday. Not sure what is it for but I thought it was for Awal Muharram. Miss Helen said otherwise. She claimed that it is some Nuzur day and it is very DIFFERENT from Awal Muharram. Okay, okay...she has her point.
So, how are we going to celebrate this special day? We are going to have a big feast!
Mum is going to cook her famous laksa. And we're inviting our relatives to come over.
I had just finished cutting the pineapple and peeling the egg shells.
And Mum and Kak Rini also praised my skills in cutting pineapple. Happy!

That was the second time I attempted to cut a pineapple. It turned out to be quite easy. All you need is two good knives, one big and one small. The big knife is to cut the 'head' and the 'tail' and also the hard outer layer. Once it is done, then the small one will come into play. It is used to cut off the...uhmmm...I don't know what is it called. The 'dot-dot' part which cannot be consumed. Get it? I'm sure you will if you have seen a pineapple.

Preparing the hard-boiled egg was not as easy as I thought it was. In order to make it easier to be peeled, do you know that you have to add a pinch of sugar when you boil it? Haha...
I bet you didn't know that! The sugar helps to soften the shell and makes it easier to peel later on.
For the other ingredients, my maid shall take over. LOL

One more hour...and the laksa will be ready! I'm salivating already.

No title

I really like this piece of work. And so, I thought of sharing it with all of you.

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most?

Saying something and wishing you hadn't or saying nothing and wishing you had?

I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say.

Don't be afraid to tell someone you love them.

If you do, they might break your heart...if you don't, you might break theirs.

Have u ever decided not to become a couple because you were so afraid of losing what you already had with that person?

Your heart decides whom it likes and whom it doesn't.You can't tell your heart what to do. It does it on its own........when you least suspect it, or even when you don't want it to.

Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had, but that other person was too afraid to let you? Too many of us stay walled up because we are too afraid to care too much...for fear that the other person does not care as much, or even at all.

Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear of rejection was too hard to handle?

We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing we fear grows stronger.

Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump.

Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have done, or could
have had.

What would you do if every time you fell in love you had to say good-bye?

What would you do if every time you wanted someone they would never be there?

What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt? (even if it is that you don't care anymore)

What would you do if you loved someone more than ever and you couldn't have them?

What would you do if you never got the chance to say I am friends with all of my family and they know I love them?

People live, but people die. I want to tell you that you are a friend.

If you die tomorrow (God Forbid) you would be in my heart.

Would I be in yours?

You might be best friends one year, pretty good friends the next year, don't talk that often the next, and don't want to talk at all the year after that. So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a difference in my life.

Make someone happy

I am not very happy. Not very sad either.
All the while, I am easily affected by people surrounding me. When my friends feel upset, I will somehow find myself filling the spot in their shoes and feel their pain. Okay, maybe not just friends, but people who are unknown to me as well. I almost teared when I read about the Sin Chew reporter's ordeal regarding her detention few days ago. She was arrested under the ISA to 'ensure her safety'. But, wait. That is still not the main point.

What I'm trying to ask is how do you cheer someone up and bring him back to his usual cheerful self? A piece of advice, anyone?

All I want is simple. I want all my friends to be happy.

Monday...again

The forum is finally over. I shall now focus on my mid-term examination which falls on next Monday.

So, the topic for today was "Ways to overcome challenges and promote agriculture in Malaysia". I was the fourth panellist to speak. Luckily, it ended well. It was the first time for me and I'll have to say that the whole experience was magnificent. Somehow, I think I did not actually answer the questions that were posted to me. My bad.

After class, we had a little chat with Miss Helen. It was fun. That was when all sorts of nonsense were revealed. Anyway, I think she is a really good lecturer. Other than Mr Foo, Mr John and Mr Lee, she is the only female lecturer I really look up to.

Oh, do you know that Aun had a tiny scratch above his eyebrow? He had hit the sink by accident. Poor Aun. I shall post up a picture of him tomorrow.

Tomorrow marks September 16. What is going to happen tomorrow?

10.05PM

When will I see you again?

When will I see you again?

When will we share precious moments?

Will I have to wait forever?

Will I have to suffer

And cry the whole night through?

When will I see you again?

When will our hearts beat together?

Are we in love or just friends?

Is this my beginning or is this the end?

When will I see you again?

. . .Hoo-oo- a hoo-oo

precious moments

Are we in love or just friends?

Is this my beginning or is this the end?

When will I see you again. . .

P/s: I like the song, ai wo bie zou by Jay Zhou. Lovely.

Splendid Saturday

After seven agonising hours of walking in the malls (Prangin and Gurney), it was a relief that we didn't go back empty-handed. My cousin's soon-to-be-wife, Evelyn took my mum and I to Prangin Mall to hunt for good bargains. It has been a really long time since I last visited Prangin and just like what I've expected, the building is still in a sorry state. It is such a waste that nothing much has been done to maintain the well-being of the building despite huge amount of money spent to build it years ago. Looks like Malaysians never finish what they had started earlier on, huh? Sorry if I offended any of you out there. Maybe I should be more specific and throw the blame only on those who are involved. Anyway, I just hope that it will not end up like our famous and beloved KOMTAR.

Okay, back to Prangin. Although there were umpteen retail shops selling dresses, Evelyn could not find one that suits her best. I thought that since she has a tiny frame, it'll be rather easy for her to get a dress that fits her. Looks like I was wrong. It depends. Feeling disappointed with Prangin, we headed to Gurney instead.

We decided to park our car along Gurney Drive. After successfully parking our car inside the lot, came along a parking attendant. He asked for RM3. I was taken aback. RM3? That's not right.

Was he trying to cheat us? RM3 for three hours? That is so downright ridiculous. Why would we pay RM3 to park at the road side? If it really does add up to that amount, then I'd rather park inside Gurney.

Err...I'm not trying to find fault with him. But those are my money...err...I mean Evelyn's money. Hence, she should only pay for what she should pay. Agree? After 'reasoning' with the guy, we ended up paying 80 cents for an hour. We told him that we will only pay more if we take longer than that.

We walked and walked and walked. From level four to level one. Then back again to level four. I saw a dress. A pretty silk dress. I suggested Evelyn to put in on, since I was very certain I will not be able to fit into the dress. But, guess how much it costs? RM480!!!!!!!!

Woahh? Whattttt?

Even though it is undeniably nice, I think that it is way too expensive. Evelyn agreed with me. Needless to say, we left the shop and continued hunting for a more reasonable-priced dress. By the way, the salesgirl in the shop is really pretty and friendly. She kept on asking Evelyn to try on the dresses and claimed that it is all right if we do not want to purchase it. Awwh, I like her.

We continued walking and walking, scanning the whole level for more dresses.
And F-I-N-A-L-L-Y, we found one. It costs only RM109! She put in on and she liked it. Mum paid for the dress and off we went. For dinner, we ate at Kim Gary with my cousin. Knowing that he was going to foot the bill, I chose a more expensive meal. A meal with salmon.
Yummy yummy..Delicious.

Hmmm...Confusion hit me when the meal arrived. Uhm..why is the salmon so small? The one in the picture looks so much bigger. And mine was tiny. Argghh...
Lesson to be learnt: Don't judge the food by its picture on the menu.

Woah..it was already close to 9pm when we finished eating.

Oh..and we have to pay an additional RM1.20 for the parking. So total up, it only costs us RM2. See, we had just saved RM1. *clap clap*

I really like the dress that Evelyn bought. It was a tube dress.
Brown colour with a big cute ribbon at the waist.
F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.

Anaconda and Waterworld

Looks like my dream godmother had not heard me. She is still giving me dreams. However, she did something different last night. I was taken to a place that was totally isolated and it looked like a scene from 'Anaconda'. I was there with my dad, sisters and a bunch of people who were carrying fishing rods. What? Fishing rods? Don't ask me why.

We were on a quest to a kampung right across a river to buy herbs from the villagers. There was no bridge, and the only way to get there was to travel across the river. As I feared for sea snakes, crocodiles and anacondas, I decided to back out at the eleventh hour and promised to stay there until they come back to me. They agreed. So, they started crossing the river while I stayed on the land. As bizarre as it may seem, there was also a beach nearby (which looks like Tg Tokong beach).

All of a sudden, the sea water rose to my knee. I tried to reach for my siblings but they were nowhere to be seen. I had no one to cling on to. I was really terrified. I was alone and I did not know how to swim. But I did not want to drown there. And I certainly did not want to be eaten alive by crocodiles or anacondas. I looked around. There was no sight of land. Oh God! Now it is a scene from 'Waterworld'. I tried to walk (because I didnt know how to swim) as fast as I could, looking and searching for a higher ground.

Like I've said early, my dreams are always weird. In a blink of an eye, I landed in a hut. I had no idea how I got there but I think my dream godmother had her way. At the hut, I met my uncle. I was relieved. At last, I've found someone that I knew. I asked for his help to get me to the top of a table that was inside the hut, but he was reluctant to do so. He said I should get up there by myself. Arghhh...I promise I won't come back for him if I managed to swim to safety. LOL. Just kidding.

So, the next thing that happened was a bus of passengers stopping nearby. They had to stop their journey as the road leading to their destination was submerged in water. They too, came to the hut for shelter like me. And, we're all officially lost and stranded. Somehow, the water level kept on rising and obviously the hut was not big enough to accommodate all of us. I was pushed to the ground. Then...

*Lights on*
Phew. Luckily, my mum woke me up. And my dream was discontinued. Thank God!
At least I did not have to know whether I survived or died in that mishap.
Tell me.
Why am I having such dreams?
Why can't I dream about 4D numbers instead? OR
Why can't I meet Lee Hom in my dreams?

This picture best describes my dream

Aun and Fei fei

This post is entirely about babies. Here, I am going to share with you the activity I had this morning with my two good buddies. Okay, I shall let the pictures do the talking instead.

Aun 'touching' Fei Fei's face

Aun takes the pacifier away from Fei Fei
Fei Fei is flashing his million dollar smile

Here it goes. Aun is starting to attack Fei Fei

Aun: Hmmph, I don't wanna friend you anymore!

Fei Fei: Okay okay, I surrender! Do whatever you want. Just don't ignore me, please.

Aun: Really? Okay then, you better listen to me from now on. *smiling cunningly*

Fei Fei: But, but... / Aun: No but...

Fei Fei: You are evil! I don't like you. I wanna get out of here.

Aun: What? How dare you disobey me? *Piakk*

So, that is basically what they do every morning.

A very healthy activity, huh?

Dream

Awwh...once again, I'm having bad dreams. Looks like the 'sweet dreams' wishes just don't work after all. It has been like this for 7 days in a row without fail. When will these dreams eventually come to a halt? Answers, anyone?

Okay, let me just share with you the most recent and peculiar dream I just had this morning.
This time, it took place in Beijing. Out of nowhere, I somehow found myself preparing for the 4x100m swimming event with Pauline, Pin Yin and Lynette in the Olympics. To spice it up, I was the FIRST swimmer of the group. And guess who was in the lane next to me? No, not Bryan Nickson Lomas but Michael Phelps. Yeah, the American swimmer who has garnered 8 gold medals in the games. Can you imagine the tension and pressure I had felt right at that moment? I was going to compete against a giant swimmer. Anyone who had watched him in action would know that my chance of winning is close to zero. I wouldn't say it's completely impossible though, because who knows, he might suffer cramps halfway through? Lol...Sorry if I offended any of his fans out there. It was just a JOKE.

As a matter of fact, I do not know how to swim. Maybe I could just swim for a short distance, but not 100m of course! Okay, so the next thing that happened was the start of the event and I had no choice but to swim like I knew how to swim. I guess dreams are always weird. I finished second ahead of Brazil and as expected, US clinched the gold. If I am not wrong, I was initially quite far behind everyone but somehow, Pauline picked up the pace and bridged the gap between our country and the states. Kudos, Pauline!

Oh yeah, after the 'Olympics', I somehow found myself 'transported' to another dream. This time, it is in Melbourne. I can't really remember what happened but I just knew it was in Mel. It seems like I can never stop travelling in my sleep. If Cinderella has a fairy godmother, then I think I have a dream godmother with me. Maybe she knows that I am not able to travel in the real world, and that is why she arranged for me to travel in my sleep. If this is true, I'll definitely thank her. But perhaps, she might consider putting the journey on hold and continue only when my energy is replenished.

P/s: If there's anyone of you out there who knows why I'm having these dreams or how to stop them, please do not hesitate to pass your remedy to me.

Gold medallists

Silver medallists

HOORAY!

Monday blues

Monday is supposed to project a brand new start of the week. Hence, I am anticipating good things to happen and bad things to shy away. However, this week's Monday (that is,today) is slightly different. The class was still noisy as usual but the 'mood' was somehow different. Why? Simply because Mr Foo was 'forced to leave'. He received a notice this morning (to be precise, it was 8.30am) from the school head that he will be replaced by another lecturer from next week onwards. Like others, I smelled something fishy too. He had done nothing wrong, and I believe that he had been victimised by one of the authorities. No further comments. Those who were part of this evil plot should know it better.

So, next week is brand new again. New lecturer, new style of teaching and I'm afraid there might be a minor reconstruction of the two subjects as well, namely Opts Management and Int Business. Not to forget, we also have to get ourselves accustomed to the new teaching style before we sit for our mid-term examination in two weeks time. Everyone knows that this is certainly not the right issue to be brought up just weeks before our examination.

Mr Foo has taught us well for the past semesters and we've learnt a lot from his real-life stories that he used to tell us in class. However, it'll all come to an end tomorrow, because it will be the last day of his service in the college. No more jokes, no more stories and no more fun. I wonder if the college really understands what the students want or do they have another plan behind the back doors?

Moving on, there will be a forum as part of the classroom activities for Malaysian Economics next week. This forum requires one participant from every group to serve as one of the panellists. I guess I will have my itchy mouth to be blamed. I jovially suggested to my group members to draw lots in order to determine and elect the representative from our group. Since yesterday was not my day, I am very certain that today will be my day. Somehow, the result proved otherwise. It is undeniable that I am God's 'favourite' this week. I shall complain no more, and start working and preparing for the forum. Those who wants to give me a hand, you are more than welcome to do so.

Docklands

On the second day of my Melbourne trip, my second sister, Grace (she wants to be addressed this way) took dad and I to Docklands. It was really cold and it recorded a temperature of 8 degrees. I thought I could fight off the cool wind, so I did not wear a windbreaker. Certainly, God proved me wrong. I was freezing cold the moment I stepped down from the tram. Serve me right, I guess. The weather in Melbourne is erratic. I didn't believe it until I feel it for myself. Nuff said, the pictures shall now take over.

This is the first shot of the day.

While my sis and I were busy taking pictures, my dad disappeared into nowhere. Here, we found him sitting on a bench, shivering...LOL

Grace and I

That's Telstra Dome, a multi-purpose sports and entertainment stadium

Warning: When it's winter, do not wear like this.

With the falling cow.

One final shot before we left Docklands. Look at the blue sky.

...

"You'll Be In My Heart"

Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand Hold it tight

I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep inside us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know

When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more

Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always

Ghost House

For the very FIRST time in my life, I was STOPPED from entering the cinema by a movie ticket collector. No, it's not because I brought illegal items, but rather, it's because I don't look like I'm 18 years old. Where's the sense in that? My friends were allowed to enter, whereas I was denied entry to the cinema for that funny reason. Hey, buddy! Was it because of the way I dress or was it because of the way I look? Although I felt insulted, my mum said that I should take it as a compliment instead. This incident proves that I still look young and I should be really happy about it. Really? Yeah, she's probably right (nodding in agreement). LOL

Suddenly, my high school memories flashed back again. Sing Rou once said to me that guys were hesitant to bring me out because it will seem like they are going out with their younger sister. Lol. Is that true? Is that why I am still single? Hmmm...

Moving on, I will give a review on Ghost House, a horror film from Thailand. Judging from the movie title and the poster, I'm pretty sure that it is a horror film.
Many had even said that the Thais produce good horror movies. I used to agree but this time, I beg to differ. I think that this movie is psycho! There were no horror scenes (except in the beginning) and there were no sex scenes as well. Thus, why aren't patrons under 18 allowed to watch? I don't think that there is a single scene in the movie that is not suitable for the under 18s. Next, according to the synopsis, this movie is about a girl being harassed by an evil spirit. Yet, if you had watched this for yourself, you will find that the synopsis is totally irrelevant to the actual storyline. We left the cinema feeling really lost and confused. Oh yeah, and disappointed too.

Sigh.
This is how we wasted our money.
The director certainly needs to come forward and give a good explanation!
Was he out of fund?
Did he actually watch it before releasing it to the cinema?
Does he think that this is a horror film?

Arrghhh...I felt cheated!

So, it turned out that the young girl (Pare)'s bruises were not caused by a spirit. Instead, she was abused by her mentally unstable (but pretty and seductive) mother. Weird, huh? The mother, Ing-On was once raped by her own father when she was young and her own mother did nothing to stop the father. Consequently, the incident turned her into a mentally unstable person and she also had a baby girl/boy named Pare. Instead of raising the child as a 'he', she made him a 'she'. Do you understand what I was trying to say?

The mother, Ing-On and the daughter/son, Pare

Let's move on to the next character,the psychiatrist (Krit). He was supposed to treat the girl, but yet, he fell in love with the mother and the next thing, they...Yeah, this is the part that made me confused. There is a mixture of reality and hallucination and I could not figure out which is real and fake. Mei insisted that they had sex and the scene was cut off. Hmmm...Maybe I will have to agree with her. By the way, I thought an 18 years old is big enough to watch this?!!


Oh, and I think that the psychiatrist is crazy as well! Yes, everyone in this movie is psycho! This movie certainly makes no sense at all and do not expect to get that thrilling moment.
Please, do not be deceived by the title!

In a nutshell, it is NOT RECOMMENDED at all.

Night-out

So, finally, my aunt from Hong Kong is here. She came here a month ago, and now she's here again. Bet she likes Penang food a lot. Even I can't resist the temptation XD. Since all of us were happy that she is here, we decided to go for a late night movie. It is also a time to update my mum as the last time she entered a cinema was claimed to be 10 years ago. But, fret not. Mum is still not too late to catch up with us.

Initially, we wanted to watch Money Not Enough II but somehow, the tickets were all sold out. Feeling rather disappointed, we had no choice but to choose another movie instead. Therefore, we decided to give Babylon A.D. a try since Vin Diesel acted in it.

Enjoy!

First, we have mum and aunt posing for the camera. Say cheese XD

They just can't seem to stop talking, can they? Lol. I wonder if they were talking about me.

That's me! Right before the movie starts.

Hmmmm......
So, instead of laughing with Jack Neo and Mark Lee,

we decided to 'join' Vin Diesel (Toorap) and 'assist' him to bring Aurora to the States.

Too bad, he has to carry not one, but two ladies instead.

Checking the guns and getting ready to transport the ladies. He's cool, huh?

I was actually waiting for them to kiss. But, when the time comes...guess what happened?Michelle Yeoh came in at the wrong time!
Argh....Felt so sorry for Vin Diesel.

It's time for me to make a few critics.
1) Aurora is able to survive from the bomb headed towards her, but I think she died after giving birth. Does that make any sense?

2) Aurora can speak 19 languages when she was 2 years old. *raise eyebrows*

3) There were no kissing scenes. Yes. None. Lol.
4) The ending was confusing. Did Aurora die? I thought her 'mum' was supposed to find her? Is she dead as well?

Overall, the movie was average. I'll give it a rating of 3/5. Lol.

Hence, is it recommended? Well, it depends. Just don't expect for any kissing scenes. XD

The end.

X I love babies X

Allow me to introduce two of my best buddies, Aun and Chen Ying(Fei Fei).

This is Aun, the 'tai lou'.

Next, we have....

Chen Ying aka fei-fei. The nickname is earned due to his big size.

He smiles all the time. He's a lady killer.

Now, let's sneak into Aun's private life.

Whatcha looking at?

Gotcha! I know what you want to see!

I know I look cute. Dont look-lah. Shy.

Don't fall for me.

I am almost done!

Okay, stop rushing!

Take a break. Look at me!

That's all. I shall upload more pictures of fei-fei next time.

I am surrounded by both of them most of the time. I am so happy to be with them!

I love them so much.

Should I? Or should i not?

What a day?!!



As I passed by Baskin Robbins just now, guess what happened??!! Feeling excited to know? Actually, nothing happened. But, I saw a striking streamer right outside Baskin. Yes, they're recruiting crew staffs!! I am so happy! Very very happy.
I have always wanted to work in an ice-cream shop since I was...like 12? And now...they are hiring!

But...but...but...

Should I go for it? I've recently enrolled myself in a very stressful and busy semester, with a total of 5 subjects. And I can tell you that the presentations will never stop coming. Not forgetting the assignments too. Sigh. And I am not even sure if I'll be able to handle my time well if I take the job. So, should I??? Tell me, tell me, please tell me.

You might ask, out of so many places, why would someone want to work in Baskin Robbins? Here, I can easily provide you with my reasons.

Reason number 1: I heard that they give you free ice-cream every month.
2) I love ice-cream. I am a big fan of ice-cream! Especially choc-chips!
3) There are so many things that I want to buy. I need money. Baskin will provide me cash.
4) Sometimes, I just have too much time to fill. I get bored easily.
5) Do I really need to have so many reasons?

So, tell me. Should I work there?
Argh...

Shrine

Look at the picture above. There is actually a story behind this picture. It was taken at the Shrine of Remembrance, Melbourne. It is a memorial that is built to honour those who had served and sacrificed themselves during the World War 2. To know more, check wikipedia.

If you happen to visit Melbourne for a holiday, then you should really come to this landmark. It is really beautiful and you can snap really nice pictures here (provided that you have good photography skills like both my sisters).

Back to the main point.

On that very day, my sister and I were about to head back home after spending more than an hour in the memorial. My dad was still in the building because it was very cold outside. Knowing that this visit will probably be the last one for me, I decided to make full use of my time and did whatever I want. Since my eldest sister actually volunteered to be the photographer of the day, I was more than happy to give in and offer her a chance to set her skills loose.

I wanted to be captured by the camera as if I was 'flying' off the ground. So, I repeatedly jumped up and down and asked my sister to quickly snap before I eventually 'land' on the ground. This requires a lot of skills, you know. Both the photographer and the model (that is me) need to be well communicated in order for this photo to be successfully taken. *applause*. Then, knowing that I had so much fun, my other sister, Grace decided to join me in this 'spaceshot'. And after having so many shots taken, I decided that it was time to stop. Right after we ended our last shot (in a landing position), two guys walked past us and smiled cunningly. Well, maybe they find us amusing, jumping up and down in front of the entrance. So, I didn't really bother and being a very nice girl, I smiled back at them.

On the very same night,my sister uploaded the pictures from the camera and saved them inside the laptop(this is because we can easily snap 300 photos a day. ho liau leh). Then, we came across a photo that I was very familiar with. But...but...as you can see here, it wasn't just the both of us. There were two more unknown guys in the photo, posing as if they were known to us. As a matter of fact, we didn't know them at all.

I know liao lah. Now, I finally realize why they smiled at me. They joined us without being invited and without our knowledge. Lol. And an even funnier thing is, my eldest sister(who shot this) didn't even know that they were in the picture with us. Errr...did I just mention that she has good photography skills? Maybe I left out the part where she is very blur too. :P

End of story. I think it is very funny-loh. Not funny-meh? At least I think it is.
