WA DIU I DAMN GEK NOW.
k bai

` you belong to me

I know I can be really square when it comes to music that plays over the radio but seriously, there's this one song - The Show, by Lenka, that is immensely appealing. Her voice's utterly melodious. *geli. But I think comel (cute) would do better as a description, pertaining her voice. Okay. Half of you would have heard it and loved it, while the other half of you would've prolly hated it. Either way, all of you would've already heard it. See. Why am I so un-updated with the current music/movies/news? Oh right. I don't have astro. hahaha. Then again, most of the "now" music's really shit. So forget it. I'm contented. Don't get me wrong. I just like to whine most of the time sometimes.

So you see, in the beginning, God made the twins. No not those two notorious Chinese boys. The other mischievous ones, that came along before them. But somehow or rather, we celebrate birthdays for one at a time. At least for the last two, I think. I can't really remember. So anyway, I was looking for a picture with both of then init, but I had to go through more that 10,000 photos (WHAT?!?) in my iPhoto (YES I'M SERIOUS, and only after I deleted at least 2,000 already), and I ask why my computer is so slow. I surprise myself. So after getting tired of looking, I settled for this la.

Spot 'em twins. :)
Shit was I that fat ar? Why no one tell me?
Oh right. I'm still so fat. =_= Le sigh.

Anyway, last year (i think), we celebrated Karisha's birthday. Why again, wasn't Karina there? I can't exactly remember. Maybe she was home. hmm. I think Ivy organized this one. Was it? I really can't remember. I just happened to stumble upon this picture when I was looking for pictures of all of us.

Last week (or last last week or something like that), it was Karina's surprise birthday party. The boyf was busy busy trying to plan something, and the number of times he changed his mind about the venue, I could've sworn that on the night of the party, he'd have a few people waiting at Souled Out, another few at Jaya 33 and so on. Haha. Anyway, less talk, more pics. Karina's surprise (yes we waited real too long for her to come.) was at Fronterra. I hope I got it right, though. Nigel doesn't have time management skills. *cough. And the food was well, Mexican. Go figure. OH BUT THE CAJUN FISH AND CHIPS WERE AWESOME, THANKS MARC =D

Pictures from Karina's birthday's uploaded on this flickr account I recently set up, okay? AND WHY CAN UPLOAD SO FEW ONLY, I don't know. Apparently I used up like 33% of my monthly storage space already. Wa. :( Does anyone know how to make the size of all the pictures I wanna upload smaller? Like in masses! I don't wanna individually open the files in Photoshop and re save them in smaller sizes. So mafan! :(

I'm starting to feel lazy about typing. So anyway, the pictures from the Masquerade... will... be... posted up... sooon.. You know la... Blogger only so fast. hahaha. Sorry ya. :) *peace. I'm so lazy to talk about the Masquerade Party. It was quite fun I guess OH BUT THE KUEY TEOW SOUP WAS THE AWESOMENESS. :) Why must I always put good food in capital letters? I think I only remember food, like Godpa said. hahaha.

*click for larger view

So anyway, before I go study for my MID TERMS, I will leave you all with a very disturbing picture of when we all used to have shortER hair. I mean, our hair's not long now, but it's definitely longER, yeah? haha. The things we go through in life. This one must have been mid-teen crisis.

But what's more disturbing,
is this.

Ladies running around in little cloth, holding firearms.
Feisty much?
BUT it's so irritating that they all wear the same thing. =_=



Goodnight!
:)


p/s: I just realised my web counter advertises for "India Singles". I haven't clicked it though, don't want to know what I could find there. Hmmmm. hahahahahah.

` material boy

JUST COS YOU EFFING WANT A NEW CAMERA THEN KNNCB MUST GET YOU ONE FOR SOME STUPID VACUOUS EVENT IS IT.

HOW OLD ARE YOU

FCKING INCONSIDERATE WEYH DAMN YOU.

` shots for the season

Valentines much? :)

Ping Pong's the way to go.

Look what I managed to grab from our NYE gathering. heh.

And yes, I reverted back to my original layout.
Less nuisanse. :)

You're telling me i'm about to win first prize.
Spanish eyes, tequila shots, port wine, KARAOKE and driving home in good shape.

I finally gagged at five in the morning,
after three hours of uncomfortable and cautious sleep.

Feels a whole LOT better.
Thanks for trusting me to drive :)

Just couldn't wake up for church this morning.
I'll see you at six :)

Oh I forgot to add that we started Valentine's day by singing at a wedding
for this pretty lady who refused to walk down the aisle,
till we had to replay the wedding march for her to finally decide to enter.
It was pretty hilarious, actually. heh. Everyone was worried and all
And after the service, the newly weds took some time before they finally
decided to walk out, accompanied by the wedding march.

I'm just being bimbotic about it.
You only get married once, so obviously they were trying to savour the moment la.
heh. :)

And ang paos,
then pan mee + crazy drink.

=_=

Couldn't have had a better day,
`ms. Curiosity

Some photos I randomly picked since I suddenly realized I could put them in like collage looking things. haha. Damn easy. I'm so lazy to upload one by one man.

Here's some (or most) of the pictures from Mikey's birthday last week (was it?), at Hartamas.

Laura and I were early (as usual) *cough*. Fine. I think we were only early/on-time because Shawn picked us up. So there we go. We were at HSC early. Wait! Before that, while on the way there, we realised that we had forgotten to buy a freaking cake (blunder #1). Shawn and Logan were nice enough to offer to take us back, but yeah. It's k la. We were already there, anyway. Upon getting there, I realised that I left his present (that we bought earlier that morning) at home (blunder #2). Since we were early, we decided to buy the cake from there. You see, Dessert's Bar was right outside Fridays, in HSC , so we decided to buy the cake (oh-my-freaking-big-time-blunder #3). They made an ugly cake that we paid for at the cashier. In the end, they compromised and gave us a new cake (so I will not bad mouth them and say don't make cake purchases at Dessert's Bar at HSC *hint hint) *shudders. I seriously think that Mikey has this thing with birthday cakes. Last year we bought him a cake, the people at Secret Recipe screwed it up too. Aih. You and cake just not meant to be.

I don't think the girls were planning to let you forget how old you were turning. Haha. Twenty big fat candles on that little cake. Heh.

Haha. On top, I added "Read ** below" cos this is a must-hear/must-know. At Fridays, it is second-nature for them to go and sing all those funky birthday chants and all; finally, the waiters will make you stand on the chair, then give a "speech" right? So they put Mikey up there, then (BIGGEST BLUNDER OF THE NIGHT AHEAD!) they asked him to drink the ketchup from the bottle that he was holding as his pretend mike. Omgsh. These things are not the things you ask a YR grad to do cos they'd just do it. Straight away, Mikey put the ketchup bottle into his mouth and all the waiter's eyes (as good as) popped outta their heads. Poor thing. The fella who asked Mike to do it grabbed the bottle and started wiping it. haha. But seriously, here's a heads up. I don't think the bottles are uncontaminated. *shrugs. Thank goodness I don't take ketchup. Aih Mikey, now I won't go to Fridays anymore. =_= Dirty Fellows.

Note to self: Fridays with these people means a whole group of crazy nuts chanting (more like yelling) together with the waiters. Not so good. People stare. hahaha.

I have no idea what got into me when I decided to wear those reindeer antlers man.
Christmas spirit, maybe? haha.

Okay. Till I decide to upload the pics from my other cameras. haha. Bye babies!

ps. I finally found his A|X cap, 'cept that it's a bit too late. Oh wells. Peace, yo! Happy chap goh meh!

` don`t wanna start

Hello.

You can stop reading now if you’re not prepared for a long-drawn-out, ass of a painstakingly pathetic quibble, which I am about to start. Oh and I’m going to sound like a small kid, and I am hysterical, and there really isn't anything you can do about it. Plus, this is MY blog. Right? Meh!

To you,
You know very well that you can’t help but to read this, then ask me about it. ☺
hah. We’re so alike, we would’ve mistaken each other as best friends! Bullocks, huh? *quivers.

I think that deep down inside, we both know how much we’re so alike; and I’ll wager that it scares you shitless, as it does me. When you see me, you see yourself. Do you think I’m full of myself? I sure hope so. Because that is how we are so very much alike, too. Say, I’m only nice when I need something from you (or anyone else, for that matter). Oh man. That just hit the exact spot. You’re just like that too, baby! Just take a step back, and think. Reflect, and look at your life. Remember these “hmmm. I don’t know the texture. Better go be nice and ask her” or “hmmm. I don’t know how to prepare that do. Maybe I should call her” moments? Oh yes. Hell yes. I have so more that I refuse to acknowledge but we both know that I’m not the only one who is like that, at all. Then again, it is the moments like those, where we pick up bits and pieces of life's lessons. And in your words, it shapes us to be who we are and who we will be. Pathetic much, that they were terrible imprints that i'd very much like to (but can't) ignore.

Truth be told, it genuinely nauseates me to see myself in you, or your actions *shudders*. Wait. Let me rephrase myself. It immensely nauseates me to see you in ME. I think we’ve been friends for to long, yeah? Fyi, any disdain you feel towards me, you actually feel for yourself because, and only because we’re so much alike. It took me 19 bungled years (literally), to realize all this and yuck-ick-ugh-blech-eeew! Too long, I’d say. No thank you, I don’t like you. But time has come. Time for change, I tell myself. I keep telling myself that it’s okay but time and time again, you remind me with your own actions, that we are just the same.

From now, I seek change. Not for anyone, but myself. Because if I were to be anything comparable to you, my friend, I wouldn’t bear with me already. heh. I never want to be anything like you. Never. I hope I never. Honestly, ‘never’ has never played such a big role in my life, ever; so I say now, never, because I would just detest me. Right now, after all these realizations, it has suddenly dawned on me that I can now love myself. Call me a narcissist; I wish I were deserving of that title. I’ll save myself the misery of wanting the title I will never get, yeah?

narcissistic
nar·cis·sism (närs-szm) also nar·cism (-szm)
n.
1. Excessive love or admiration of oneself. See Synonyms at conceit.
2. A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.
3. Erotic pleasure derived from contemplation or admiration of one's own body or self, especially as a fixation on or a regression to an infantile stage of development.
4. The attribute of the human psyche charactized by admiration of oneself but within normal limits.

According to the free Online dictionary.

So I memang tak jadi, trying to fit into those categories. heh.

Oh, in R’s words, I’m saving my damned ass before it gets too sorry for it’s own good. Awh, right? :) Sometimes she says the right thing. Other times she's just bleh. wtf. I don't want to use wrong words.


Ultimately,

It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job, which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.

- Quoted from text of President Barack Obama's inaugural address.

In conclusion,

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the childrens laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyones shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They cant take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

Fucking hypocrites who sang this pathetic song. Not Whitney Houston, really. I mean the other people who sing along to it when it plays on radios, or at an event and what not. You know what? I'm not going to feel empathetic for you. But maybe I can afford sympathy. You deserve need it.


With lots of charity,
the bitch.


Meh.

` helsinki

So you see, today I wasted 3 hours of my life. I went for class thinking there was going to be a quiz (only to find out that it was canceled). Yes, I was kinda expecting it, but still! Then, I went for LAN and less than 60 out of 140 students turned up (and i'm pretty sure half of those who didn't turn up were just hanging around town, not out of town). So the teacher was like "oh. Since there are less than half of you, I think I won't teach today". *blech. We know what your underlying intention was. Can you imagine, out of the whole row, there was just NaiHoe, KuanHan and me. Where, in the world did everyone disappear to? Least I got me nuggets *thanks :) . Then I came home in the blistering cold rain to awesome dinner. The main side dish was scallop, just like the picture below, which I got from google (the power of Google still amazes me, seriously). The only difference was that the scallop we had was as big as my hand? Yeah. Quite cool. I haven't seen anything this big. Or maybe I have, but I never really liked it (if you know me, shells and miChelle does not come together. heh.)


Anyway, after dinner, mom asked me to go to Greenway at the BU Centrepoint to get some tomatoes. So I drove there, alone. Fine. No biggie, right?

Then, I got there, parked my car, walked in the drizzle, only to find Greenway CLOSED. HELLO I KNOW IT'S CHINESE NEW YEAR
BUT YOU MUST NOT CAUSE SUCH INCONVENIENCE
FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS.
I AM A PAYING CUSTOMER
(and the rambling GOES ON ...)


So I thought to myself, "Hey. Lets call mom and tell her that I'll check One Utama".
*digs my bag for cellphone*
*digs deeper*
*puts bag down and opens it wide*
*picks up items in bag One by ONE*
*iPod, car keys, purse, water bottle, grocery list, spectacle box, parking ticket etc.
BUT STILL NO PHONE.

*runs to car.

*opens car door.

*dig around my car.

*Pour out contents of my bag onto car seat.

Result: Mess. But still no cellphone.

Thought: Massive shitters did someone flick it from my bag through all that mess while I was walking towards Greenway?

Assumption: I left it on the sofa while watching tv and I forgot to bring it out. *hyperventilates.

So poor me, all me, drove to OU. Knowing my mom and my sister, they were bound to call me to tell me to get something they prolly forgot to put in the list. What if they called and they couldn't get me and they thought I got abducted? Not funny right. And after watching Taken, I don't think I want to see my parents do all that. haha. Cheh.

When I got to OU, I found a parking lot right in front of the entrance cos being typical Malaysians, no one wants to get wet by that little drizzle that couldn't even hurt a bee. I went in and thought of calling my mom with the public phone (that was before I realised I hadn't had any change or coins). Such a pain. I then proceeded to grocery shopping (and obviously it was looking for the basic milk, cereal, tissue, etc etc. So I kinda had a hard time looking for the stuff, which was made worse at the rate Jusco was pretty darned understocked). Paid for the stuff and finally had change, so I dashed for the nearest public phone and called home and my first statement was "Make it quick. This is a public phone and I only have thirty cents". My last statement was "If i'm not back in an hour, please call the police k, bye!"

Goodness. I couldn't have been more dramatic about it, right? Then again, who uses the public phone anymore, nowadays? I can't remember the last time I used a public pay phone. So filthy. *blech. Yet, it brought back fond memories.

Damn... Life is pretty darned pathetic without a phone right?

Yeah.

Wow. You got this far?

*hats off

Rambling ends here.

Lotsa Love.


p/s: I will try to fix my font. Stop complaining that it's small. All of you. I am only so well-versed with these HTML codes (If they're even called that)(why do I always say things in parentheses???). K. Bye.

` new skin day

I have absolutely no idea how to change the colour of my background. Thank goodness the pink isn't the hot pink, cos that would be absolutely berserk in the girly-girl way, which doesn't appeal to me, in any way... Great. Now my blog doesn't have a header and I have absolutely no idea how to fix it. Besides that, my freaking pictures can freaking jump... =_=" like seriously. Just consistently put the cursor on and off the picture and you'll see. It's driving me crazy, especially since last posts pictures are pretty disturbing. heh. jk. :) *peace, yo!*

Times have changed and I am embracing change, yo! I am embracing change. I am still the same person. A few people msgd me to ask if I was okay. Apparently, a change of blog skin requires some drastic emotional change and people asked if I was emo. Hell no! If I were emo, i'd be painting my nails black, listening to.... black metal (however neither exists anywhere near me). But no, I painted them purple and stuck thingamajigs all over them. Yes. And he said "nice what!", which was pretty contrasting to what I was expecting. Oh yay! CNY holidays start tomorrow but sadly, ends on Tuesday. =_= mm.

I need to get my fat behind off the chair, to start exercising. I am becoming a big fat blob/slob. Seriously. Have you seen me? :( Oh I have plenty of pictures to post but after spending the last two hours fixing this damned template (ps: I am completely noob when it comes to all these HTML or whatsoever codes you all have names for). mm. The power of technology. I'm just rambling here... I'm sleepy... Okay... I will add pictures to my *cough - i'm proud of my new blog - cough* new blog soon.

If I don't blog before that, Happy Chinese New Year to all the Chinese people and non-Chinese who are enjoying the holidays as much as we are. heh. *peace*

Lovely loving.

` as promised

Hi people.

I have a friend who's single and available; currently considering chances of meeting a lifetime partner. Guys who think you're hot enough, please contact me and i'll hook you up. But of course, preferably, female. I try not to encourage homosexuality (esp cos it's a he, in this case). He will make a good friend and partner, ever-willing to help and always ready to lend you an ear. He keeps secrets quite well (when he wants to, that is). He has an imposing sense of humour, and has the ability to serenade you while playing his guitar. He likes to takei. If he had 5 dollars in his wallet, he will pay RM2 to the cab driver to take him to Blitzone and pay RM3 to takei. That is living proof that if he likes doing whatever it is he decides to put his mind to, he will go all the wayyyy + sacrifices, of course. :)

Carefully evaluate the following:

he is very kewl v(=_=)v
just like the emoticon. Heh.


very ban cute
kawaii :)


also full time ban kewl! :)


heh. Don't kill me la keni.
Friend friend mah.

so....
Any takers? :)

Goodnight. :) Thanks for being who you are. Don't marah ya. heh

` Mr. Postman

First of all, Happy Belated New Year. Yes. I am late. Oh well. I don't think anyone really reads this blog but yes. It's good to keep track of good and bad times alike. 2008 had it's fair share of ups and downs, good and bad times, in the similar manner. There were moments I would never change, if I were given a chance; at variance, there were moments I wish I could've taken back. Friendship has an altogether meaning now. Who would've known the essence of that one thing that brought us together to be friends, would also be the one which had the power to severe all ties? Well, in my book, anyway. Sometimes life hands you two choices, and either way you hurt someone. Life's a bitch, like that, but that's life. Nothing I say or no amount of cuss words I can say will change it, so let me embrace this year with the hope, prospects and dreams that you have blessed me with. Thank you. Nuff said.

Pictures are not in chronological order.
And yes, I have all the other pics, I will upload them. Someday?

Merry New Year, folks!

I'm enjoying the new year, so far.



Love much.
