The smooth surface,
Almost mirror like,
Watching it unknowingly,
I entered its flow,
Unconsciously submerged by it,
Fighting to grasp the sky,
Before being pulled down again,
Following it’s flow,
Unable to turn back,
The road is set;
I shall head to sea,
Can you see the future?
It’s unpredictable

arghh what on earth are mosquitoes on earth for? they don't do any specific function except suck blood and spread diseases.... they don't carry pollen, or anything.. they contaminate water with their freaking larvae....
erghh..... i guess that's mother nature's way of keeping the population in order.... annoying littel things, they are... it's not like they are here to teach mankind that keeping dirty water is bad, cause they breed in clear water..... and people do need to keep water mind you, and that's where they breed.. sigh... annoying annoying annoying.. arghh...
and yes when i finally get round to updating, there are a lot of things, cause i ve been out from morning until night, coming back only to shower and sleep.. that's how my life has been lately...
tired + exhausted + burned out = me .... in every aspect..
but in some ways, i don't mind the company of some people..namely family and my brother's girlfriend, she is a nice girl :)
after this hectic period.. and by at least febuary, i m certain my pace will slow down.. hooray!! :)
and yes, i know that some people are envious because i go out so much, but people always want what they can't have, and i want to stay home to rest, and maybe watch some korean or japanese drama or some anime.. or just laze about with my piano or the guitar...
but in the end.. i ended up going out.. cause of the lure of movies i want to watch and food..
speaking of which, my two cousins, abandoned me again in the movie watching arena.. sigh....
no, i m not talking about consideration in the contract sense....
but hey, tell, me, what is the point of being so considerate to people, who don't even appreciate a thing you are doing???? i mean if that person was your boss or something, well that jsut makes your boss an ass/bitch, but what about family and friends?
they should at least appreciate right? i mean they aren't paying you to do anything for them, they are with you cause they want to, but in the case of family, we don't have much of a choice because we are stuck together like it or not...
if the world was full of considerate people, i bet the world would be in total harmony, void of wars and fighting, everyone would get a long, because they would always place themselves in other people's shoes before doing something....
but then again, the principle of ying and yang, if there were no inconsiderate asses out there, we wouldn't know what is consideration....
just a little short update for me, before i find the time to update properly, and just to remind myself what to update about.
20th of december saw me headed to red box the curve with chi ming, michelle, xian ai and mel, to celebrate a one month and 8 days belated birthday for cheese, pictures and full length post should be up later..
oh send pictures to chi ming and mel and xian ai... okinawa and karaoke pictures...
21st of december saw me going out for lunch w ccy and leng xiang, supposed to go book sky cafe for the upcoming gathering on the 27th of december but looks like sky cafe is no longer opened for business, so we relocatead to island cafe ss2 as well, after that we had a vegetarian lunch, and i got conned by the picture in the menu with it's "great" english, and we dropped leng xiang home before going to huey's. played a bit with her electronic guitar, minus the power point, enjoying the feel of metal strings, then we headed to BU cause huey wanted to buy christmas presents for someone, so i hung around book stores, reading books on you guessed it, dogs and japanese language, and some random oddities.. for this, nothing to post about in the future...
my bro is coming back to malaysia, like...today since it's already 0016 as i type this, so i may not be online much for the next few days, contact me through my handphone please..
on another note, new emotions that most probably have always been laying latent has been surfacing, and i can even find fault with how the rain falls...
been going out too much and would really appreciate some quiet time to myself, but that is impossible until at least january..
and oh, on the 21st, i somehow ended up with a pink shirt for my dog, this i have to blog about.. it was supposed to be a green shirt, but my dog must have grew fat when i wasn't around... ==' await that post..
and that's all for my rants.. happy holidays everyone, and have a merry christmas.. and since it's the 22nd
happy winter festival to all those who celebrates
私はのモード:マスク オン -- how long it will stay on? who knows? but lets hope it lets me make it through...
on another note, forgive me people if i have been belittling you lately, god knows why i've been doing it lately, but no ill intentions.. it's just my way of fondness.. gua....
anata (you) jijin (yourself) o shiawase(happiness) tamotsu(kind/thing) 100 tsuno houhou (method)... --> grammar seems totally off to me ==' but whatever.. that's what you get for self learning japanese i guess...
reading through the site.. i noticed i don't do a lot of things.... but anyway.. do you do these 100 things to keep yourself happy? (it's long enough without me adding in the stuff that i don't do haha.. and no mood also.. if not it would be long... :p) dinner time.. :)
1. Never put yourself last.
2. When you extend a helping hand to one person, be careful not to kick someone else in the teeth.
3. Always own a pair of old, faded jeans.
4. Count your blessings every day.
5. Acknowledge your successes along with your downfalls.
6. Burn the candle that has been in storage for the last two years.
7. Strive for progress, not perfection.
8. Remember, the voice telling you that you cannot do something is always lying.
9. At least once a day sit and do nothing.
10. Don't close your heart so tightly against life's pain that you shut out life's blessings.
sigh... i ve been like tat for months. no i think it's been close to 3 years? yet instead of improvements, it actually became worse...
it was intially mild but i realise that it has become very, very bad, especially of late,i m tired of this facade, tired of it all.. yet i strive on? whatever for?
my patience has all but run out, especially to inconsiderate people, without realising it, i blow up at them.. and then feel guilty after that.. and try to apologise.. but what is the point of apologising, when you have already blown up? though i believe what i said holds water.. but still.. i have no patience at all..
second type of person i tend to lose patience, but not blow up is people with the lack of common sense.. sigh it used to amuse me, when they lacked common sense, in some cases, but now it just plains annoys me...
what to do? what to do? sigh... it's like sayaka hime(princess) just decided to come out and throw a tantrum... well, at least that's what my mom calls it.. it's like the spoilt bratty princess came out..
i don't really think it's throwing a tantrum, it's just giving you a piece of my mind..in a not very polite way i guess... i don't think of myself as having such tantrums..
maybe i do, outsiders should know best.. but i don't simply scream and shout insisting i want things my way.. i m just telling you off for being an inconsiderate arse... but i m trying hard... to search for that silver lining in the cloud..
"i strive on, hoping to fight the darkness, though i feel it will devour me in the end"
でもさ、私はまだ諦「あきら」めない。。だって、タイヨウのうた、ヘレン子狐、一リットル涙、と 電池「でんち」がきれるまで、このドラマは私は教「おし」えてなるは、命はとても大切「たいせつ」な。。だから今は私はまだ諦めない、けれど私はもう疲れた。。 私の最後はどのが見えるかな?(will i be able to see it till the end?)
Today i went to watch the movie Enchanted with my cousins Ben and Ling, it was a really nice movie, humorous, romantic and with a happy ever after ending.. a nice change from those teary dramas that i have been watching lately...
i finally figured out why i like shows like タイヨウのうた、ヘレン子狐、一リットル涙、電池がきれるまで [taiyou no uta, heren ko kitsune, ichi rittoru namida, denchi ga kireru made] (song to the sun, helen the baby fox, one litre of tears, till the battery runs out)
why you may ask, all these shows, are about how precious life is, most of us take living for granted, we think that just because life doesn't go the way we want, it's not worth living, but this shows are different.. terminally ill people, children and animals, all strive to survive... i guess it's human not to appreciate what we have till we lose it, but shows like this, wakes us up, to tell us that, life is precious...
anyway, i totally side tracked.. sigh.. about enchanted.. i went to bandar utama with my cousins to watch, and wow, maybe it's because it's a friday and it's the school holiday, but there was a lot of people, and it was so hard to find parking, in the end we managed to find parking, and the line for the tickets was absurd, but we managed to get the tickets at 9.20pm.. our movie time? 9.20pm haha.. but knowing the advertisements and all, we still made it in time..
after that met, ccy, yoong xiong, leonard, simon and wei hao outside the cinema.. they were going to watch enchanted too... simon has already actually watched enchanted 3 times.. OMG.. well it is a good movie, i don't mind watching it a second time, but not so soon.. anyway, next on my list of movies is the golden compass (though i've been hearing that it isn't good) and i am legend.. watched the trailer in Croatia, and Desmond said that it's a good movie.. and it looked good, so i'm up for it.. and oh, yes also i want to watch Elizabeth, haha i love this costume like movies.. :p
an interesting thing.. usually people buy food BEFORE the movie, but my cousins and i, went against the norm, and bought food AFTER the movie.. haha ...well the three of us were after the corn anyway :p and they dropped by my house for water/milk, and to eat the corn and chat.. it was fun hanging out with them as usual :p

二十九日十一月二零零七年 - 五日十二月二零零七年
on the above stated date, there was a goodwill camporee organised by the Persatuan pengakap Kuala Lumpur.. i think.. (Kuala Lumpur Scout association)
well i was told it's done by KL, so i will trust my source..
earlier, a few months back to be exact, xian ai was telling me about the camp, and was looking for people to help out with the camp, so since i liked helping out in camps, and well since not much, actually no scouting skill was required (yes, i admit, my scouting skills are crap..), i thought that i would help out, since i had nothing much to do, and it's effective for depression also haha, find something to do ;p
so on the 29th, the start date of the camporee, i went with xian ai, and met up with some juniors.. and we were assigned to contingents... the scouts that came were mainly from Malaysia, those out of state, scouts from Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia..
i volunteered to work as an international service team (IST) with the Singapore group, mainly because i wanted to avoid any communication barriers, and since i speak, English, Malay, mandarin, Cantonese and hakka with varying fluency, i thought that Singapore would be a piece of cake of me..
i mean i don't speak a word of thai actually, and my malay, well... let's say it's not that good anymore haha..
so i was assigned to help the Singapore contingent settle in, when they arrived, there was quite a lot of work, and some small matters arose but were settled.. (getting tents, camp beds, settling inquiries, boundaries...) and the Singapore contingent, had an activity right after arriving.. talk about tiring.. they had to do a gotong royong (community service to clean up an area) in a nearby kampung (village, though it isn't really a village.. we just call it that..)
after a 6 hour bus ride, and setting up camp, now they have to do community service.. must have been really tiring..
anyway the gotong royong, was hideous...well not ugly in that sense, but woah, there was like a heap of rubbish, and it really stank, and oh my god.. i saw a spider almost as big as my fist... ==' freaked me out...
one thing i must say is that, the girl scouts in the Singapore contingent. .(there were 61 scouts including the scout leaders... i think in their contingent.. 5 were girls) really had guts.. they bravely came forward to help with that heap of rubbish...
after that they came back and rested.. and we sent them off for dinner, and their free time.. unfortunately for the other days of the camp, i had class and wasn't around, but they were sent for their camp activities anyway, where i was not needed.. on the last day, i met up with them again, to ask them how were things, did they enjoy the camp.. (though truth be told i think they were just being polite, cause to me camp sucked. will bitch about it below..)
and they were so nice, they gave me some souvenirs from the Singapore scouts.. a badge and a pin.. so nice of them :)
also i had a very good workout, at the camp walking back and forth, there were some amusing moments.. as we helpers sat down and shared our experiences, and complaints, we laughed together and learned together, i met a scout leader and some rovers from titiwangsa, and one from Sabah(?) who was studying n KL though... and they were a nice bunch, i sure do hope that they keep in contact with me.... :) it was nice hanging out with them...
and now for some pictures which i have just received from the Singapore contingent leader. it was so nice of Mr Supra to send the pictures to me..
they were taken on the last day of the camp, when i came to bid them farewell
from left is xian ai, yong peng, yuen herng, mr supra, and me (sorry if i spelt anyone's name wrong.. ) yuen herng is actually my 2nd cousin from my dad's side.. you guys know pn loh? well, meet her son hehe.. small world..
close up of the picture above.. same people.. lazy to relabel haha
mr Supra and i.. darn should have rolled down my sleeve =='
overall, the camp.. was crap, poor planning, imagine the day before was only when they had asked for portable toilets for the camp.. there was no specific allocated place for the scouts to get drinking water,(worse was they had to pay for drinking water..) and there was not enough lighting in the campsite.. no place for them to charge their cameras..
even the administration was a mess.. imagine only on the second last day did i get my nametag, and well each helper was supposed to get a t-shirt, scarf and badge, and we didn't get it until the last day, and we didn't get a scarf, so it was replaced with a cap.. which i swapped with a singaporean scout..
erghh the planning drove me up the walls.. how could you do that, when scouts from other countries are coming? it was as if there were not enough funds as well, they made the scouts walk around the whole of KL and the only transportation for them is a DBKL truck lined with chairs??? what are they? illegal immigrants?? i mean walking is still fine, as a scout, (but not really for scout leaders... some of them aren't young anymore haha) but get a bus for christ sake...
it crossed my mind a lot of times during the camp, that if i were the one organising it, and if i had enough time and man power this wouldn't happen..
for this camp, i would say they had enough time.. they jsut didn't utilise it, and yes i would say they had enough staff as well.. and the best part? no one wanted to take responsiblity there, they kept pushing it left, right and left again.. when my contingent asked me a query.. for example... for lighting, in their campsite.. i was directed to guy A, who directs me to guy B, who directs me to guy C, who directs me back to guy A.. a nice round circle...
it was like a treasure hunt searching for these people.. call? they either don't answer, or their phone is crap/dead.. and talking on the phone gets you no where, you have to talk to the person.. that made my blood pressure boil... and well i got my real good excercise from my "treasure hunts" lucky i had win han ahha.. if not i don't think that i would be able to manage ;p
i mean if you are some people will look for you, then stay at the station.. if it's that boring and you want to walk.. then answer your bloody phone and go meet the person at the station to settle the problem.. erghh.. you know if i were a foreign scout, i don't think i would like to come again.. thought i might hoping it's better.. but such lousy planning, and time management.. though the singporean scouts told me that they would attend camporees again, cause it was nice to make foregin friends.. note they said camporee, haha whether it's held here again.. is another matter i guess..
and oh the worse part for the camp in overall was the in-fighting.. that was the worse.. as a scout you should finish what you started, how can you be so irresponsible and just leave? i'm not blaming the scouts, but the person that made that decision.. after you see teh job through, then only kick people's ass.. it was horrible.. too horrible to describe.. overall, i was thanking god that i was not a particapant, but a mere helper, who can come and go as i please...
hiniku.. i m a bit confused for this kanji, cause when i typed irony into my dictionary this came out, but hiniku means sarcasm.. but then how else do i say irony in japanese??? till someone answers that for me, this will still be hiniku..
sigh another irony..
for someone who likes the japanese language, i suck at it...
but the main reason for this post, is regarding my suckiness in music.. sigh for someone who loves music, and loves to play music instruments i suck, and worse off i suck at tones.. not that i can't tell them apart, so that doesn't make me tone deaf, just that i cannot reproduce the sound, or something to that effect, i was at one point trying this ear training thing, but i don't know the difference between major chords and minor chords.. sigh.. woe is me.. things i like, but i suck at it.. sigh....
maybe i am actually tone deaf... =='
*salutes satoshi kun for not vommitting blood haha but no rotan... child abuse... haha*
Hoc Mun messaged me on msn.. (so rare.. more like never right? usually we go by way of chatbox on our blogs?? o_0' haha) asking me whether i wanted to yum cha with some of our old classmates from 5 Petunia the day before..
since i was free, with nothing do to, and being with other people (change of scene) helps with depression, so i was along for it, so at 930pm, off to SS2 Kayu, we went, i tried roti tisu for the first time, haha usually i don't order that when i go out with the guys.. why? i don't know, we order stuff like mee goreng and other stuff usually.. anway, the people that went? :p
my "grandson" Thomas, haha posing for his "grandmother" here haha.. poor guy had no dinner at home, so he ate dinner at Kayu.. haha it was funny when we asked him " why didn't you cook?" and he went i can only cook maggi mee.. so see guys, it's important to know how to cook.. when your mom or wife ain't around, you don't have to be eat maggi mee :p
Wai Mun, honestly, wasn't very close to him though he sat behind me? well not directly behind i think, quiet guy, and ermm still was :p but at least he smiled for the camera :)
Hoc Mun... looking like some alien here?? haha pose la properly.. you are going to give children nightmares haha
and the girls, see we are smart and nice, and sociable, taking pictures together so that bloggers like me, don't have to upload so many pictures, and we look closer and more sociable.. (not that we aren't) from the right, me, suet yee, tan foong, and li shawn..
come to think of it, tan foong is not a petunian... haha.. but oh well she was in 5 petunia enough to be like one of us? the science classes were close anyway haha..
hoc mun asked me where was ccy, and i was like he just came back from camp wor.. but ok will give him a call anyway.. ccy couldn't come, so it was just us :p but it was ok, quite fun, to chat and meet up with people, and contemplating when was the last time we saw each other ;p
Hoc Mun holding up the bill.. is he going to treat us all??? haha :p though he seems to be saying.."dream on" in this picture with his tounge sticking out :p
(he didn't in the end.. so kiam sap la you wen (it's his last name, mun in mandarin..)... haha got our hopes up :p keke.... but thanks for being the driver for the girls :p )

十一日十二月二00七年:火曜日
Fritz is back in Malaysia and so is Michelle, she arrived the day before, so as promised, Fritz met up with us this year, and he called along yi ching and nicole.. all from SAM haha.. so it was a mini SAM gathering? :p
it's been 2 years since i last saw fritz.. last year we didn't make it to meet up with each other. anyway at first i thought i had class at 2pm, and fritz asked me to meet him at Pryamid.. if i have to take public transportation to pyramid, then i hate the place haha.. either than that it's fine, so he changed the place to ss15 and i said i can't either, i asked is KL ok? cause my class is there anyway, more convienent...
so KL it was for some beef ball noodles.. we met up at popular.. are there two populars at Petaling Street? cause well Fritz was like waiting at another one, while we 4 girls were at another one? haha.. interesting and amusing, so off we went for the beef ball noodles :p
The said Beef ball noodle.. i had no leafs in my vegetables.. so sad.. so michelle pitying me gave me one of hers.. why is it that i'm the only one that got vegetable stalks.. sigh.. the world is against me... =='
once i was done with it, haha, overall. my comment, since i love food, and good food at the best.. so ermm, this one was ok, it was so-so, i still like the beef noodle, at the other side of Petaling Street, but this wasn't bad, a change in taste.. :p and the place had air conditioning.. haha that counts for something :p
taken by Fritz's girlfriend :p Michelle was joking that we were like father, mother and 3 daughters??? (cause of the way we positioned ourselves haha) o_0' sitting from right, me and fritz, standing from left, is nicole, yi ching, and michelle..
if michelle had sat down as well, then it would have been like our classroom in SAM haha,where Fritz, me and Michelle sat together :p in that order ;p

十六日十一月二00七年:金曜日
it was my mom's birthday today, so we went out to Aman Suria to eat Crabs :) as my stomach still wasn't used to spicey food (ever since coming back from the UK whenever i ate spicy food, i ended up with a stomach ache haha, but now i'm better, i had my nasi lemak training ahha) and we bought a cheese cake from Cake Sense, cause my mom loves cheese cake :p
was supposed to bake an apple pie for her instead, since she was craving for one, but my dad said to buy, and bake another day.. so ya went along with it, i had class on that day, but absconded early to come back to celebrate, it was a boring useless class anywhere, where only the first hour was useful cause the lecturer was giving notes, and after that it's boring as hell, as he drones on and one apparently to himself haha..
お母さんと私 :p (okaasan to watashi) [My mom and I, and well her cheesecake too haha]
お母さんとお父さん (okaasaan to otousan) [Mom and dad, and the cheesecake, and my dad is wearing the golf shirt i bought for him when i went to Perth, Australia, for my cousin's wedding :p ]
ロスコちゃんはケイキは食べたい ;p (Rosuko chan wa keiki wa tabetai) [Roscoe is eating cake.. it's cheese cake after all :p]
~~~
on another note, of the people that i have tagged 2 have done the tag.. to know what they said about me, if you are interested.. especially my sister, would be...
People who did my tag so far... ;p (it's interesting how others think of me hehe helps me discover myself more :p)
watashi to taiyou no uta = me and taiyou no uta (song to the sun)
avid readers of my blog will recall that i was trying to learn the song, taiyou no uta on the guitar, well you can sort of say that i succeeded, and after only about a month of learning the guitar, i'm proud and happy to say that i can play the whole song, with some discrepancy...
so forgive my bad chord transition :p especially at the Bminor parts, and well, my voice isn't super star superb but i think it's passable, so click on the video to see my progress??
but sorry you have to tilt your head, if i cant tilt pictures, i sure as hell can't tilt videos..
arigatou satoshi kun for helping me learn the song, and in the begining i think i was saying, watashi wa sayaka desu, kono uta no namae wa taiyou no uta (i'm sayaka, the song name is taiyou no uta = direct translation...)
since no time to blog, and i got this from my mail thanks to my sis, i decided to get one of my own :p
by the way, please put your cursor over the picture and wait for the picture to change, then answer a little questionnare on my personality, to see if i got the right deamon thank you :)
neway sorry gene.. and though ya...i m supposed to be always be there.. but minus all the excuses (which i don't think you need to hear unless you want to, seeing that you are having your own problem).. it still is hard.. you being thousands of miles away.. :(
anyway.. don't give up, keep your chin up, and soon we will be cracking jokes on this :p and ya.. i will always be your girlfriend :p
Gene, i tell huey ya.. she stil in the dark gua.. seeing that she doesn't go online much...
so sorry ler.. nick told me about it like..... what last week???!!, Shit.... that long laio.. arghhh
but i haven't been free lately, my routine is wake up, eat, class.. come home, check mail, sleep.. sigh..
--> for those people like.... maybe my sister, who may start hunting for me high and low, jsut for your information... that you may not see me online much until December 6th.. cause i have a scout camp in bukit kiara, and also because of classes... 7th-9th December 100% i'm not free due to classes.. so i most probably won't be online that much also...
lately maxis has been an ass as well.. idiotically slow connection.. but my dad blames the school holidays..
To Gene, Hugz :) we will always be there for you... i know i don't have to say much for you to understand (though it will still be nice to hear.. so get your sorry ass on msn or skype please..& hope i am online as well haha), but still, i just wish i could be over there to give you a hug... :)
