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

They say that dogs have sensitive ears, and unfamiliar pitches irritates your hearing, hence the reason dogs howl.
I'm not sure how much of that is true, but I remember, when you first started to hear me play the piano.
I was sitting at the piano, and you were by the door, I think.. or you were probably right outside the door?
My memories seem to tell me that it's the latter, but I digress.
Anyway as I played the piano then, you would prick your ears up, tilt your head a little. Raise your head and then howl.
Truth be told, I initially found it amusing, you looked so cute when you were howling. And the first few times you heard me play the piano, you would always do that.
However after that you got used to music.
And every time I played an instrument you would sit next to me, or next to my feet quietly. I even made you play the piano a little, much to your irritation. I still remember your expression then. *Chuckles*
In the beginning you would even sleep where the pedals were and I had to move you to play the piano, or if I was playing the guitar, you always sat on my sheet music, making it difficult for me to read the chords and what I should play next. *Chuckles* Those were the days.
But now... I won't get those moments anymore will I? Who now will listen to me as I play music and keep me company?
: The only time I video-ed myself on a musical instrument, and there you were, sitting on my music notes, lol :
Song: 太陽の歌・タイヨウノウタ
By: Sawajiri Erika from the TV Show/Movie : タイヨウノウタ・太陽の歌 (Song of the Sun)
This video has been shared before on this blog, I had learnt the guitar for a month when this video was made.

Hi Baby,
Do you remember The last song I sang to you? You were already unwell then, with water in your lungs, difficulty breathing and all.
I didn't choose a random song to sing; I sang this song on purpose to you twice.
You probably don't understand Japanese, so I've translated the lyrics into English.
I leave it to express my then unsaid words.
Song Title: Promise
Sang By: 前田玲奈 / Maeda Rena
(Character: Nike Lemercier / ニケ・ルメルシエ)
From the Anime: それでも世界は美しい / Soredemo sekai ha utsukushii / Even so the world is beautiful
English Translation:
I'm thinking of you,
Tonight,
I want to throw everything away,
I want to see you,
I want to see you,
I can't sleep as I search for your warmth.
Even though we are far apart,
We are always looking up at the same sky.
I really want to be by your side.
But now, I feel like breaking,
Swallowing my sighs, my chest hurts.
Do you feel the same?
We are not alone right?
Please believe as we ride Destiny,
To capture both our futures,
I now know what kind of memories
I must embrace at night,
And when the morning comes,
I will smile again,
I will promise to hold on to tomorrow.
It's okay,
I won't be tricked by
that small and weak voice,
I will pretend to not hear it,
Because I will be by your side.
But now, If I seem broken,
Please don't let go of this hand,
Please don't look away,
Let's continue walking at this pace,
Because we are not alone.
I believe in the story that you chose,
And whatever comes from now on,
We will smile together and be strong,
No matter what happens
we won't forget the memories,
And when morning comes,
New memories will come again,
I will promise on our never-ending bond.
Please believe and ride Destiny,
To capture both our futures,
I now know what kind of memories
I must embrace at night,
And when the morning comes,
I will smile again,
I will promise to hold on to tomorrow.

As of late, so far.. these are the reviews that I've done for Critically Acclaimed.. Be sure to check it out!! :p Sorry, if I sound dry, or whatever....
And that's all for the time being... Not all of these posts have been cross posted here, so you might want to check them out by clicking on the links...
So titled as it's already 3am and I want to sleep, so am trying to keep it short and sweet.. Or so I hope.... Will elaborate later, if I feel like it... or maybe not....
26th September 2008, Friday.
Went for my first badminton game in 4 years[?] with, Xian Ai, Mel, Xin Yin, Chi Ming & Kevin Wong at Puay Chai's primary school from 9-11pm.... Suffering the after effects now. Muscle pains etc Real good work out though...
Playing badminton with the left hand [which is my recessive hand] is retarded-ly fun, and challenging. Had a good laugh...
Had quite a bit of fun, if not for the muscle pains that set in, in about an hour after playing.. shows how lethargic I've been lately.. Really should exercise more..
27th September 2008, Saturday.
Due to badminton ending at 1130pm the night before, and going for supper, I ended up home at 1230am.. And slept late, as I had to shower, dry my hair etc..
At about 9 something, dad woke me up for dim sum at DJ, not bad, will review it later on Critically Acclaimed, when I'm free...
Right after breakfast, headed to BU for shopping with parents, to buy work clothes. Trying on clothes with muscle aches, is a real pain, literally... And I think, if my mom wasn't there, I wouldn't know how to chose clothes.. Guess my lack of enthusiasm for shopping spurred this..
Why must work clothes be so bloody expensive??
Came home around 4pm, and took a nap. Parents went out for a wedding dinner, so had dinner with precious... Yummy Chicken Rice!!
At 925pm, Thomas came to pick me up for yum cha at SS2, with Wai Mun and Hoc Mun. I didn't know that, they called that a mamak.. The so called place near the polic station.. A mini Petunian gathering? Xin Yin joined in later. Left the mamak at bout 12am, after all the god damn bloody ciggeratte smoke, nearly killed my lungs. Thanks Thomas for buying the drinks, and driving me :)
Got home, checked mail, and continued my Taiwan drama.
Was about to sleep at 230am, when upon carrying precious, noticed a multitude of ticks on him!! I don't think he had them yesterday.... Then again, I didn't really carry him yesterday...
Never in his 6 years of life, did he have so many ticks!! WTF is wrong?? Got rid of all of them, [I hope] but am at a lost as to why he has so many ticks, no going into the garden for him.. Bloody stray dogs... =.='
Final note:
Need to clean room & toilet, and get back to my translating the ghost hunt volume 10 manga... & I should, internet connection witholding, finish my Taiwanese drama... Am watching Itazura na kiss/いたずらなKiss, both the Taiwan Drama [The Sequal, watched the first part in Reading], and the Anime... About half way through...
Title: Satoshi kun no pai desu/ Satoshi's Pie/ Ccy's pie
Okay, I'm sorry this is really late but better late than never..
Been on a cleaning spree, cleaning my room, toilet, the room I used to study for the exams.. I've actually quite a lot of things to do... I have to sort out pictures of my one year in the UK for developing, do my scrap book/photo album [it's been sitting there for at least 3 years... sobs.. 3 years worth of picture organising... ] But I digress back to the post..
Here are the pictures of the pie I baked for his birthday this year. The juice seemed to have leaked out a bit, guess the apples were to juicy for the pie.. :p
Hmm~ looking at this, I feel like baking one to eat too :p
I cut out letters and arranged it on his pie :p
The birthday boy and his pie :p
Currently listening to this Vampire Knight radio show, featuring non either than Kiryuu Zero :p unfortunately my Japanese is only so-so and he speaks to fast for me to understand the whole thing.. I only get his complaints, cause he says that slowly haha but he sounds so cute.. unwillingly hosting a radio show.. so like him :p tearing up letters as well haha.. since he hates vampires so much.. haha.. he sounds so exasperated since he's forced to do the radio show and talk more than usual, and of all things about vampires that he hates.. :p
Translation for ghost hunt is going along slowly.. Getting quite a lot of kanji that I don't know.. sigh... And i dread the next chapter or so.. that's where they took up a case.. and the amount of words, on the page, sort of puts me off... sigh
Anyway...ccy, here are your long awaited pictures.. and I guess if the connection holds..the next few posts should be pictures posts as well... there are some posts which were delayed even longer than this...
Cross Yuuki & Kiryuu Zero [the latter, being my favourite character, in case some of you haven't noticed, on my MSN. This two are also my favourite pairing :p]
Title: Vaanpaia kishi: Vampire Knight..
Usually vampires in Japanese are called kyuuketsuki：きゅうけつき: 吸血鬼. But the Mangaka [manga artist] wanted to use English.. hence the Katakana/カタカナ, and if you've watched the anime or read the manga, the furigana above kishi/騎士, is usually put as naito/ナイト/knight.
Anyway, I'm just going to fangirl a little about the OST [Original sound Track] which I just downloaded. [Cause I need to go study...]
And woah, I have to say.. I love all the tracks in there, especially the ones related to the vampires. It sounds so mysterious and intriguing.. It's like baroque, mixed with a bit of modern? ermm, sorry I can't describe music terminology... [my music theory is only till Grade 6 and I still know nuts..] But it's so cool...
Maybe because I really love the story and all, for more information on Vampire Knight, head here, and here,... hehe.. it's more to the shoujo [girl] story side.. so guys may not understand my fangirling.. since I love Shoujo stories... [I'm a sucker for romance stories, sue me..]
Basic storyline, is, it's about Vampires and the huge conspiracy behind their community, and the human community [well, throw in some angst, self loathing... etc in one of the main characters, incest? romance, loads of mystery.. freaking hot vampires... and you got yourself a story...]
Well, it gets really exciting, I've been reading the manga since last year, the manga came out in January 2005 I heard, I've been reading since November 2006 I think... [it's still ongoing, gyaah the suspense.. the manga is really picking up heat...!! ] the mystery behind it all.. ermm.. I can't really describe it, unless I write an essay here, so please check the links out..
If you are interested in music which has the organ/hapischord [though I think it's an organ], violin, cello, piano, choir, orchestra, baroque style music, mysterious music.. do ask me.. I'll give you the link for download.
*Actually it's here, remove the spaces --> http: // .shareonall .com/Vampire_Knight_-_OST_qlqn_zip.htm* Okay, done fangirling... need to force myself to study.. I'm only half done with the syllabus.. Sobs~ 頑張って！！
Came across this while searching for some Naruto related stuff... interesting... by the way, i suck at games.. video games.. and sports... don't know, maybe it's because i rarely play them, or maybe it's because i suck at coordination haha..
P/s: they don't say it, but pressing the up key gives you a chakra boost... and it's kind of worrying for my keyboard that i have to keep pressing the left and right arrow...
you need a good mouse for this one... and trying to avoid like 500 kunai.. it can be done, you just need patience and loads of time, and as i said a good mouse.. well, i don't have TIME or a good mouse.. so there you go...
well you are supposedly on a grade C mission? Being a body guard.. maybe that's a grade D... well... it's okay.. a basic game... but i suck.. so far i've used Naruto and Sasuke.. and somehow i find Sasuke's fire attack much better than the kage bunshin but oh well... when i'm free i'll give Sakura a try...
this is more for girls... but i will try it if i have time..
i had quite a lot of difficulty loading this game.. don't know why.. so i will comment when i manage to try it out...
this game... was made by a pervert... [yes, i was very, very shocked to be greeted by that.. ] well you only know that the maker is a pervert when you finish the game.. i was like.. what the.... it isn't very easy.. you have to earn money and guess the right answers to say.. though the answers for Naruto and Rock Lee are fairly easy to get.. but the one for Sasuke, the angsty one.. was kind of hard... and well sparring with Sasuke is hard!! i tried to start the game all over again and this time i wanted to try ermm.. dating? Naruto.. but the maker seems to have a sort of mechanism.. that exhibits his pervertish side... so maybe others would like to try.. i could give some pointers if you want..
the easiest character to try and get to date would be Naruto & Rock Lee i would say... hardest? Sasuke... so i was up to the challenge.. it's no mean feat.. you have to earn money, increase your charm, train, take on missions... study at the academy... gosh. and well because it was my first time playing.. for all the games... i had to figure out the instructions as i played..
anyway, this are just the few.. de-stress a little after some studies? :p
i went to gene's blog and he had a veoh video on his blog. unfortunately, it said that veoh wasn't available in my country... i was shocked.. so i decided to go straight to the veoh site....
OH MY GOD!!! veoh is no longer available in Malaysia... it was working fine 2 days ago.... so i decided to check why..
Did Malaysia block it, or was it Veoh..
upon typing some simple search words into google, i was redirected to this forum.. with the answer...
"Unfortunately Veoh will be ending service in your country due to a low concentration of users. Veoh is maintaining markets when we have the highest concentration of viewers."
and the person who posted it, even gave a site.. --> here
what the hell?? i don't usually use veoh to download anime, unless i really can't rely on the normal sites i use, no thanks to my sucky, unstable connection... but i like to use veoh to download animes, as it allows me to continues my downloads, and it's all high quality, i even use it to download Japanese dramas, because i can't stream them on crunchyroll... my connection is so bad, that when i get cut off, crunchyroll stops streaming, and that means my show doesn't load, so i turn to veoh to download..
this is horrible.. the list of countries banned by veoh are: Lebanon, United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Indonesia, Chile, Argentina, St.Kitts and Nevis, Guatemala, Luxembourg, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Guam, Jamaica, Barbados, El Salvador, Hungary, Malta, Macedonia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Colombia, Cyprus, Romania, the Cayman Islands, Guadeloupe, Saudi Arabia, Peru, Panama, Czech Republic, Turkey, Croatia, Lithuania, Jordan, Egypt, Bulgaria, Serbia, Iceland, Bermuda, Thailand, Brunei, Honduras, Bahamas, and Nicaragua.
just look at the list, veoh is discriminating against third world countries. how could they??? what is so hard to maintain the site in the virtual world???? gaah... annoying..
but anyway, we Malaysians are no push overs.. haha.. someone finally found an alternative link.. for those veoh addicts in Malaysia.. head on over --> here to get your fix of anime and manga.. i'm going to test it now, and see if it allows me to download :p
*Maxis is being an ass again.. the connection is so slow... at least i don't have to refresh to enter my email accounts, but i have to keep refreshing for other sites.. =.= stupid maxis.. heard streamyx isn't doing that good either.. wonder what is happening to Malaysia's internet... hope this isn't an attempt to sabotage?? haha *
I didn't post my translation for page 12 because someone else had already done it.. but I chipped in my 2 cents... the pages mentioned above were translated by me.. or well i have a version of it..
Thanks ccy for helping me with the kanji, that really speeded up my translation process by A LOT!! and i mean a lot!! thanks :) *hugz* *Do not use this translations without permission.. * *Please ask if you wish to post or use them elsewhere*
A Red Moon --> the forum hosting the translations :) Page listing --> this is where the translations are being posted, together with a scan of the translated page..
For those who don't know what is going on.. Well, I don't know what I've gotten myself into, but I've currently volunteered to help translate the latest Ghost Hunt Manga, i.e. volume 10..
For the (my) record: I've translated page 4-10 and will be working on page 11, when i have the time...
EDIT: I've translated page 4-20, but I didn't put up my page 12 because someone else beat me to it :p phew.. finally done.. all that' s left is page 2 & 3, and the proof reading, which I shall leave to the rest.. I need to go study... :)
Don't worry, studies are still my first priority.. Exams are coming anyway, and 10 papers full of memory work... =.='

[Translations removed and placed on the page listing...]
When Rory called me a neat freak, I denied it vigorously, but now i admit, i am a neat freak in some ways.. posting pages of the translations here takes up a lot of space.. and for my mind who loves stuff being organised it was a torture.. so click on the links.. :)
if there are any corrections or add ons which you feel are required for my translations, please do comment here to inform me :) thank you
「サヤカ」--> the name i'm going by on the forum.. well it's my nickname i.e. sayaka...
I'm sure that some of you must be having question marks (?) flying around your head like butterflies... So allow me to explain, for those who do not know.
First, White Day.... (Click the link, but I'm about to state the information here, anyway..) It started in Japan in 1978, but is now celebrated in South Korea and Taiwan. Traditionally White Day is held exactly a month after Valentine's Day. (i.e. 14th of March)
Valentine's Day in Japan, if you asked me is unlike Valentine's day worldwide. Worldwide, on valentine's day, couples regardless of the male or female counterparts, will exchange gifts. The guy may give the girl flowers, the girl may give him chocolates.... etc
In Japan it's different. On Valentine's day, the guy gives nothing. Instead they do all the recieving, mostly they get chocolates. For those who don't like sweet things, the girls may give them something else.
Usually the girl gives chocolates to the guy she likes, signifying that she has special feelings for him. Thus, in Japan, Valentine's Day becomes somewhat like a popular vote for the guys. The more chocolate a guy recieves, the more popular he is with the girls. Hence, the gloomy, sad depressed looks we see on Japanese Drama, Manga and Anime on the characters who don't even recieve a piece of chocolate.
Actually, (this isn't on wikipedia, but based on my observations of Japanese Drama, Anime and Manga...) besides giving chocolates to the one she likes, some girls take the oppurtunity to thank friends as well, and give out what is called "obligatory" chocolates.
These are usually given to the girl's father or brother (if she is close to them, or any other male relative that she is close to, and doesn't mind receiving the chocolates..); to her guy friends (close ones, and always in the presence of the other recievers, so that he doesn't get the wrong idea), and to girlfriends/bestfriends (same rule applies as when giving to guy friends.)
So basically, the girls may exchange chocolates with the other girls on Valentine's Day as a show of appreciation of their friendship.
Now, isn't it unfair that only the guys receive? --> Thus, the birth of White Day!
On White Day i.e. 14 March, It is the turn of the boys who have recieved chocolates to return the favour. If you had clicked on the link above, (or may do so after reading this post), It's already explained that, usually guys will have to buy back something for the girl. Usually more expensive.. They may give chocolates back to the girl, or buy her jewellry etc.. But those usually apply to guys who are reciporating the girl's feelings..
For the guys recieving "Love" Chocolate, They may choose to reply. If they reply by giving the girl something in return, he is replying her feelings, if he doesn't.. She has been rejected...
So basically Valentine's Day is like a Love confession day. Though there may be shy girls who give chocolates anonymously, or maybe because the guy is the "Idol" of the school... (Following manga, anime and Japanese Drama, this sort of translates out as, he belongs to everyone in the school) being popular sure is hard...
For the obligatory chocolates. The male friends (as stated, female friends exchange chocolates on the same day), if they aren't too shy (which most of them are.. So many girls don't really expect a return of gifts from them) They may return the favour by giving the girl chocolates, or maybe other things such as, ribbons for the hair..etc small little gifts in return, to show that they appreciate her friendship as well.. (But I personally think this is rare, because guys in Japan are very shy, and they don't want to give the wrong impression that they like the girl. Even if they return the gift, it's usually, personally done in private...To avoid misunderstanding from the other guys, who may tease him endlessly...But I wonder if he returns the gift, saying it's just thank you for the obligatory chocolates.. Does he like her too?? maybe that's the reason girls don't get much back on White Day...)
Also I think, that maybe they don't take it seriously or importantly unless they are in love with the said girl...
Thus that is about it on my explanations on White Day, You can google it yourself for more information. You know it's interesting to note that the South Koreans have an alternative celebration called Black Day on March 14th.. For the poor singles who have no chocolates... ~~ Now we are going to the little pinkish words at the start and end of this post. I was suppsoed to post this before March 14, but I was busy and forgot.. But better late than never.. Now this little link, is not the 'obligatory' one More like a fangirl's "Love"
For the fans of the anime Ghost Hunt, if you were a true fan, you would have searched the far corners of the internet to find more information about the anime, and discover that the Ghost Hunt Story actually originated from novels..
If you have a Facebook account head on over here --> Ghost Hunt to review the information that I managed to hunt down online..
For a little information for those who have yet to watch Ghost Hunt.. (I've posted about this anime before, but I'm sure most of you didn't read it.. so here goes..)
Ghost Hunt is an anime based on the supernatural. It basically follows the life of Taniyama Mai who came across a Ghost Hunter (Shibuya Kazuya).
Her school principle had called the Shibuya Psychic Research (SPR - Which is also an acronym for Society of Psychical Research, It's HQ located in London, whereas it's research Labs are located in Cambridge.. They investigate Psychic & Paranormal activities)
It's really intersting, especially if you are like me, a person who tends to search and read things online after watching a show.. (That's why they say watching television is educational, if only you do things like me, that is..)
Anyway, back to the main point about Oliver Davis (If you want to know more, just click on the provided links,or search for it yourself..)
WARNING SPOILER!!
Stop reading if you don't want to read a spoiler.. Which actually, wikipedia already revealed (somewhat), and if you had clicked on the facebook link...
Anyway, the aforementioned Kazuya Shibuya is/was actually one of a pair of twins. He was an orphan and was adopted by and English couple who gave him the name Oliver Davis, (nicknamed Noll, and in Japanese Noll can be mistakenly pronounced as Naru [ナル], due to the heavy japanese accent. He was given the nickname Naru short for Narcissism, watch or read the manga to find out why...) and his twin brother (who is a splitting image of him, and sound the same, and totally indistinguishable if they are both emotionless..) is called Eugene Davis (nicknamed Gene)
Gene had died in something that looked like an accident,(suspected murder) and Noll has come to Japan to look for his body. Noll found out about Gene's death through parapsychology, where he touched Gene's clothes and was placed at the scene of his death.
Both of them, though they look and sound similiar, they had different personalities, and somehow.. Though most people would have choose Gene's personality (Nice, talkative, expressive, smiles easily) I somehow am attracted to Noll instead (quiet, sarcastic, rarely smiles.. often described as a "stick in the mud idiot scientist"...) I really can't describe it, i guess you really have to go watch the anime or read the manga, both which i possess, so you may get them form me, if you wish.
Oliver Davis, just attracts me.. could be his gentleness, his love for his friends, his intelligence, his cool demeanor.. I mean though he is sarcastic he is nice in his own way.. (I love the way he treats Mai, She's like the only special one.. I love their interactions, NaruxMai fangirl here haha... He understands her so well..) Haha, maybe it's because though he acts like a cold insensitive jerk most of the time, but he is still sensitive, (sorry for being contradicting, but that's just me..) and... (I don't know?? ) since more people would chose his twin brother over him, there's no competition (?) just crapping [なんてね？じょうだんです，じょうだん]
But oh well, just to explain that, I've written another long essay, I would really love to write a really, long essay about Ghost Hunt but I digress. Too lazy and besides i have class later in the evening at 6pm
Anyway, not everyone shares my love or interest, so if you are interested you may click on the links provided...
The best way still, to understand my reason for 'choosing' Oliver Davis "Noll" out of sooooo many anime characters.. is to watch the anime...
*I could have choosen Syouran (Cardcaptor Sakura/ Tsubasa Reservior Chronicles), Alzeid (Hatenkou Yuugi), Tsukimori Len (La Corda D'Oro), Train Heartnet (Black Cat), Kudo Shinichi (Detective Conan, or maybe Kaito Kiddo ), gosh the list is endless, since I've watched so many animes.. But I guess for the time being Naru-bou is my favourite :) Just a little warning, don't watch the anime at 2-3am it scares the shit out of you!!
i got the DVD from my sister last spring when i was in Prague but never got around to watching it.. so since i was looking for someothing to watch i decided to give it a try.. the DVD was kind of faulty, so i had to use VLC to play it instead.. sigh... thank goodness for VLC haha.. on to the review..
A 2001 movie about a women chasing her love.. definitely not for kids, not due to language or violence etc.., but cause kids won't understand it..
and if you didn't understand the show called.. hero.. a chinese show with jet li, tony leung, and maggie cheung, then i doubt you will understand this either.. they are somewhat similiar...
the story covers, a young girl who helps a government rebel, and falls in love with him, but he is forced to flee.. thus the storie follows her attempts to find him...
it starts off with her being an actress, and blending her movies (acting) with her reality..
the story seemed to have started from the feudal era, where she was cursed not to find her love, and follows her through the ages till modern space travel, making it seemed like she had searched for her love for a thousand years...
the ending is bittersweet... chasing after a shadow all these years, she is (hopefully) finally reunited with her love..
was watching this show as i felt it was too early to sleep, though my medication is making me drowsy already now..
what medication? hmm well today.. or more like make it yesterday since it's already 1am.. i went for a minor surgery to extract my wisdom tooth.. once that is healed i will have to extract the last one.. and good riddance to it all...
yup so due to that, i was given medication.. antibiotics etc.. but it's the painkillers that is making me drowsy.. so signing off...
if you think you can understand Sennen joyuu then give the movie a try... it touches you emotionally...
-Oracl3-
“Be miserable or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it is always your choice” –Wayne Dyer-
I had worse days, but today was bad. it's been quite sometime since i had a bad day.. i tend not to remember them anyway....
What went wrong? well, let's see, to renew my sibling's touch and go card, they said that they had to do it in person, and since they are overseas, they need to send a letter, with their signature on it... it's so troublesome... (my dad and i, as we left the office said at the same time "so mafan..")
(but that's not so bad... technology now is so advanced.. besides there are ways....)
After that, it was actually fine, class even ended an hour and a half earlier today, so i was happy that i could get home early... my friends sort of MIA-ed on me... and all i heard before they went MIA was KL Central, so i thought, i would just make it there then, but then, i found out they were actually in the loo... (i was too tired to think where they actually were.. my only thoughts were to get home) no biggie, i will just grab the train first to my long awaited dinner haha....
BUT.....
The train was delayed.... and there was i quote "a technical error, the train will stop longer at each station" (at least i think that's what i heard, i was in the train, and couldn't hear it clearly...their english is so superb....) arghh... instead of taking the usual 20 minutes to get home, it took me double the amount.. close to an hour to get home...this was my pet peeve...
To top it off, i had to stand the whole time, while i was squeezed like a tinned sardin. for a normal healthy person, that's no problem.. the problem was my anaemia...
In crowded places, it means less oxygen for me... so no matter how much people stared at me, and no matter how much they thought i was rude.. i wouldn't budge from my position near the door... i needed the air.. or i could throw up.. or worse faint.. it wasn't that bad.. cause about 2 stops away from mine i got a seat... better than nothing... at least my nausea didn't worsen...
Upon reaching, my stop, i called my mom....
Numerous times.... that wasn't so bad, if you don't count the annoying, house phone and my mobile... the idiotic telephone service installed a voice mail for my home phone, so i kept getting directed there, which means my money goes flying, and when i want to actually redail my home number i ended up dailing the sms notification on my balance.. at least 3 times..
blasted phone is such a sloth.. so slow moving arghhh....
It wouldn't be that bad, since no one was answering the phone, i don't live that far from the station.. but the heavens were against me, as it was raining.... but i was actually annoyed enough to walk.. when lo and behold.. my mother finally answers the phone, and insists that she picks me up...
So it wasn't that bad... i didn't get drenched.. and though hunger added to my annoyance, i am now waiting for one of my favourite dishes being cooked by my mom...
Also with her not answering the phone so soon, i managed to run an errand.. that's why i said there were worse days, (or worse to come... as i dread next thursday...) or maybe it's just the optimist in me, looking for that silver lining.. as my dad says.. and i quote yet again.. "you are an over-optimist" well if that existed.. but i think due to current and not so current circumstances i have been downgraded to just an optimist..
not that bad right? at least i am still an optimist??
~~
on another note, maxis is being a tad weird... but the connection isn't much to complain much of late.. although it is irritating to have my downloads interupted, but at least the connection is much more stable of late...
~~
i seem to have random spots on me.. pimples or insect bites? i m not sure.. all i know is that it swells and it's red, and it either itches or hurts.. maybe both....
~~
besides that, i was told that i was low class, by my own relative... it's nothing much, if saving money makes me low class.. ermm what does that make all those who save regardless of social stature? different people have different views..
so i guess rich people just like to waste??
even if i were rich, i don't think that i would be so wasteful...
this attitude of not wasting apparently gave rise to a misunderstanding, but it is all in the past.. so i couldn't be bothered much, but just thought that it was interesting to note down for my own future self reference, that no matter how careful you are, one man's tea is another man's poison...
and just when you think that not wasting is good.. it can actually sometimes work to your detriment..
~~ You are what you write..
somehow the conversation of being able to tell a person's personality from his/her blog, became a topic first with huey then with ccy as well (and seemingly a few others..)... and i was asked to anaylse a person(s) personality based on his/her blog.. the way you write, how frequent you write the designs you chose, all speak mountains against you.. it's also a bonus if i know you in person..
But this, i realise may not be very accurate, because as in my case, my blog was designed by ccy, though i did give him an idea of what i wanted, but the colour schemes and all were choosen by him.. so if you were to judge me, based on my blog.. you will have to look beyond the colour scheme used...
another thing that i was reminded of was, not everyone analyses other people.. they don't think to anaylse.. like that time when i was in Reading.. whenever i analysed people, i was accused of being over analytic.. but there are things that i see that other's don't (i'm not talking about unhuman things... haven't seen those in a while ahha)
it got me thinking, maybe i should have been a psychologist? haha.. but i think such skills will come in handy when i start working...
but sometimes i do wonder, why do i anaylse so much.. maybe that could account for the white hairs sprouting on my head...
~~
lately i have been receiving comments that my English used on this blog is horrendous, my grammar, my spellings...
proof read my blog? i used to do that, then i got lazy about a year or more ago..(who wouldn't with posts this long and frequent..) but at least i now type full words instead of sms spellings.. (as far as possible that is... there are times when i blog in a rush, or without a totally sound mind)
as for the typos.. half the time i type faster than words appear. and i type while i am on the bed, so i couldn't really be bothered.. sometimes my left hand types faster than my right hand.. hence all the errors.. and i'm too lazy to proof read... so there you have it all the errors glaring straight back at you...
one thing i noticed was that.. i have a tendency to be sort of melodramatic.. maybe i've read to many of certain types of books, that i remembered that once a friend of mind commented that my style of writing was simliar to that of JRR Tolkien..
My,my such an honour.. but that could also mean, that my writings are as dry as a history book, and has a tendency to be melodramatic.. about it being dry, i am absolutely unsure, as some people it seems, take joy in reading what i wrote..
but the melodramatic part of my blog, i admit it's true, for i myself have noticed that my method of writing, can follow how stories are sometimes written... i feel that i sound too british too sometimes... but that is my manner of writing... as a reader you have a choice not to read...
~~
one of my close cousins, namely Ben, has just recently flew to australia, and as he has already contacted me, and as he is currently online, i know that he is safe and sound, and he will soon be enjoying himself in a foreign land as i had, once upon a time...
due to the reason of his leaving, and to aid another cousin in the usage of her english, we decided to open and co-author a new blog called.. Generation L to know more about it, click on the link..
i had asked ccy to help with the blog layout, but as he is busy with tests and all.. i did not pursue it.. when ever he is free it's fine by me...
~~
Watching TV or shows are educational, if you aren't the type who merely just watches for entertainment..
i have a tendency to sometimes google things that i watched.. like the recently le chevalier d'eon and The king of yesterday and today...
watching these shows.. i tend to look up related things to it.. for example, with the aforementioned shows.. i had looked up the history of King Louis XIV and also Emperor Yong Jing and the Qing dynasty, as well as France in the 16th century.. whether i actually memorised(or properly read through) what i looked up, is debatable. but i can assure you that i do remember part of what i had looked up...
my recent MSN nick Fais ce que tu veux means "do what you will" in french. originally i was using fay ce que vouldras.. look it up if you will. especially if you have already watched le chevalier, then also look up novus ordo seclorum (latin for new order of the ages)
unrelated somewhat, but i came across it while reading information online is ubique sub terra (everywhere underground)
it's interesting what you can learn... from searching about things i watched on le chevalier, i learnt that the chracters in the anime D Gray Man are actually based on real life people...
so some people are right when they say that Television is educational. but it depends on the person watching it... it can increase your General Knowledge...

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burnt”
Due to the fact, that i was mostly not available at home... (guess some people were fooled by my msn? haha the human isn't there, but the computer was downloading for me..) i have ended up with plenty to blog about, but so little time.. (well i m bad at time management.. or rather lazy at it...)
resolution that is not associated with the new year? to return to normal Malaysian sleeping hours...study????? o_O' ... and to avoid shallow, insincere, jealous, unappreciative, uncaring & inconsiderate people. (the latter is a must.. but i doubt that i can achieve that... sigh.. guess the best i can do is to find better people)
catch up on my anime, manga and some drama..
currently watching:- ~Twelve kingdom (wonderful anime, lots of character development), ~Shades of truth (internal affairs with a twist and comedy, absolutely love it... i want a guy like wu song haha.. "pan jin lian you number one slut" o_O' in the end fall in love with her pulak.. haha), ~D Gray Man is getting interesting..too many shows to mention.. but these 3 are my favourite at the moment.. ~ need to finish up all the animes that i left hanging... (watched halfway, then was busy so stopped, and forgot about it.. need to finish the ending??)
finish up my fan fiction bribe, so that i can get my fan fiction... half way through gua.. considered... need to rewatch the first few episodes of ゴストハンタ- i might post the fic here when i m done.. maybe..
and oh dear, do i have a lot of updating to do.. ==' from what i can pluck from my brain, and trying to put it in as orderly a fashion as possible...

sigh.. heavy downpours yet again... "nice to be home".... ==
Title reads as gakkou mou hajimaru... don't know bout my grammar for my japanese, but i meant it to say that school has already started...
so yes school has already started for me... again.... not even back for a month and now i have to attend classes again..
yes, yes, i know soome people are saying.. " i thought you graduated already?"
yes i have graduated already, and i am a law graduate, no longer a law student... need to update my friendster profile haha.. anyway.. as a law graduate, in order for me to practise as a lawyer i need my license, thus i am now in a course called the certificate of legal practise aka CLP, whic is the malaysian BAR. cause i cant afford UK BAR... too expensive... and since i intend to practise in malaysia, might as well take the malaysian bar...
the info on my blog... like the reading time and my location etc.. i will change it next week when i have time..
have to pack for my trip soon as well....
what trip? well fyi for some friends and well... errr.. family i guess from the 13th till the 23rd of september 2007 i will be in perth... yes travelling again, this time with a purpose, i m going to perth to attend my cousin's wedding.the cousin which i was staying with in London, and with whom i celebrated chinese new year with this year :) yup, that's her, am going to attend her wedding :)
which reminds me i haven't called my aunt to ask her what would be appropriate for me to wear.. hmm better do it tomorrow after class...
tomorrow, class??? yes i know a lot of people have raised their eyebrows to this.. for the CLP our classes are all on saturday and sunday, with occasional tutorials on fridays... and the timing is so damn insane.. 6 hours straight of classes,, imagine, classes from 9-2pm...???? arghhh.... over the years we have gotten so used to having at the most 2 hours or 3 hours of classes, a day, and even then we had breaks in between, this is like back in school you know, going to school by 725am and ending at 105pm with a 20 minute break, but i think school was better, cause we changed subject every 40 min or hour and a half... insane...
but we had no choice, the timing caters to our lecturers who are practising lawyers, and i guess for the price we pay... can we really complain?? well we can, but who else would teach us...
arghh man it sucks.. but no choice... today was the first day of class, and it was an intro, and i guess maybe it was cause it was the holidays and we 3 months off... but we... well i don't know bout the rest, but i was like really mushed up.. and almost fell asleep....
the lecturer was telling jokes and all.. as well.. so ermm it was kind of interesting, but i felt really tired.... and hungry... reminds me of the time back in high school where i would go to the canteen to buy something to munch on in class cause i was hungry ahha.. guess i have to do teh same here... ;p
i think i will get fat at that rate 0_o'
so ermm either than that, nothing much really..
when i got back from the UK as mentioned i had jet lag, but i've already managed to get over it, i mean i ve been back for almost 3 weeks already....
and well attended marlyn's party, met a few old mates there, had a blast, my new cupboard came, so i cleaned my entire room, and rearranged and kind of tried to decorate it a bit... took me a few days... =='
went back to my hometown.. finished watching goong.. well am missing 3 episodes.. but will try to download those soon.. hopefully i manage to. cause i have to use megaupload to download it, and well megaupload is totally and absurdly stupid in malaysia. unlike UK we can download almost how much we want, but here in malaysia we are set a quota, and we even need to download this stupid megaupload tool bar, which doesn't work for MAC!!!!so yes.. you know my woe without me saying anymore....
finished watching blood + as well.. although it was 50 episodes, but it's really nice.. keeps you on your toes, and if you are like me, curious, you will keep asking for more, cause the way the episodes are structered are, in the way where the answer seems to want to come out in the next episode.. so i go on watching, but i guess i was really tired, cause it took me a few days to finish it...
been doing nothing much but going out a bit, at one point i went down to brickfields with mel and xian ai, cause xian ai needed to register and i wanted to ask some questions... then went with the said two just a few days ago to a law firm in KL called Albar & partners, for their open day, was interesting, found out what some of the areas of law entails when we come out to practise...
on the 4th huey came over to my house, had dinner in my house and we basically hung out and chatted :) showed her my new yukata :)
i hope next year i can make it to bon odori...
oh finally my much awaited broadband from maxis came yesterday.. before i went to SRK Puay Chai, to help out as a scouter :p we made a little campfire hehe.. was quite fun to get back into the scouting scene, although intially when i first arrived felt a little awkward since i've forgotten quite a lot of stuff hehe, but seing my juniors again, and chatting and hanging out with them was really fun :)
oh wait, was talking about my maxis... broadband.... well... err i still don't have wireless yet, but guess my dad will settle that in due time, as for now, am trying the download rate... and it's 7 -8 times slower than the UK but aiya, anything la, as long as i can download la... slowly lor... :p
considered that i m no longer vomitting blood over checking my mail... hahha... in a way i guess its ok... i really must stop comparing to the UK... but i cant help it.. ==' it's just like in the UK i couldn't help myself from comparing some things from malaysia... it's the same la, when you have experience better facilitties..
i think if, a country had weather like the UK, transportation system like the tube in london, and price err, dollar to dollar but in malaysian money.. it's £1.50 imagine if its RM1.50 right :p so it's cheap right? hehe malaysian efficency in the technological part and for public utilities ermm... malaysian culture and food, evrything in english, fast connection like the UK, but lee way for piracy like malaysia haha.. ;p well there is a lot more la... but i would say that wouldn't be a bad country haha... :p
at least when we walk outside we won't feel so hot, and internet will be fast, transportation, cheap and efficient. using public utilities like the luggage trolley at the airport wouldn't be such a pain (at least when you push it straight it goes straight and not left or right...) Malaysia is rich in culture, so we will have clubbing, drinking but we will also have mamak, and hang out places, malls that close at 10pm :p haha.. but oh well.. that's life la, we can't have everything....
anyway.. just got back from dinner at marco's pizza at KJ with mel, xian ai and wendy... had a shower and started blogging.. got to hit the sack soon for tomorrow's class... :p so till then...
title reads as matta, meaning again.. used it before anyway haha..
ermm yes procrastinating again.. or taking a break you could say haha..
ok ermm... recently am nuts over the anime ゴストハント aka ghost hunt.. yes i love it to bits, and love naru!! and naru and mai are so cute.. too bad they are both so dense.... errr besides teh point..
anyway watching ゴストハント made me realise something.. yes it's lame or whatever i don't care...
but watching ghost hunt i learnt about psychokinesis, there are mainly three kinds and it is usually shortened to PK, so there is PK - ST, PK - MT, PK - LT.
for stationary targets, moving targets and living targets...
now my point? think star wars.. and jedi warriors hahah.. no wonder they have to train jedi warriors from young, and only a select few can be jedi warriors, it's cause you require PK, and not just PK but all 3 PKs.
i remember.. don't know which star wars episode, obi wan kenobi found lucas and was trying to get the guy to sell lucas to him, i think it's lucas by the way, anyway it was the guy that became darth vader.. anyway.. obi wan moved his hand to affect the dice.. that is PK - MT for you, and when he tried to influence the slave trader he waved his hand as well, he was trying to do PK - LT...
hmm just a random thought that came to me...
apparently all of us were at some point in our lives, especially when we were younger, we were able to use some sort of psychic power.. well ok not everyone, but apparently a number of people can, but we mostly out grow it. cause of society's norm, i don't know.. not meaning to brag, but looking back, i think i did display something of the sort before, when i was way much younger...
but that was eons ago, guess i grew out of it... =.=' wonder whether i can train to get it back? haha... tarot reading anyone? haha... well currently stressed with exams so the reading won't be precise...
the psychic powers can go up and down following your mood :)
hmm~ read my own post on the chakra test i took.. yes i didn't read it before, i jsut posted it, that's the purpose so i can read it again later when i feel like it ... but anyway.. seems that it's kind of true =.= it is exactly what i am feeling now, sigh....... how to increase my chakra.... any shinobis out there willing to give me a pointer or two? haha.. well i hv to increase the chakras in the 7 main spots... =.=
hahah... nick leong made this for me. was thinking of putting it in the side bar but am not sure how == since now it's more complicated and invovles making a table.. i ve already uploaded it onto my geocities ...
"so near, yet so far, it escapes my grasp, but i pray that i will no longer fall victim to the darkness, light is my salvation, i shall return to the light, for there is where i truly belong"
十八日九月二００六年：月よ日
The title reads as mondai nai, meaning, no problem. Why did I choose this as the title? Well read on and find out :p
A little of what I have been doing the whole week. Well, my mood has some what improved so it may not be a “little” :p
From the last time I posted, nothing much went on, I was just watching anime and lazing around, getting scolding from my mum that I do nothing at all. Which I don’t deny; I just moped around the house, losing my temper here and there =.=
Since my mood is better, I will take the chance here to say sorry to those that I had given a hard time during those really down times, especially my parents who had to face my mood the most. And let’s all hope that, my mood doesn’t drop again, since it has been somewhat elevated. -_-’
Oh but I’m not sorry for giving some of you a piece of my mind, I took my brother’s advice and decided to just let it out, no point being the angel outside when inside I’m so devilish…
Ok, now back to what I’ve been doing. I think the last time I blogged was yee sin’s farewell? Darn I deleted all the old posts left in my computer, so I can’t check. Anyway I will only write what I remember la :p
十三日九月：水よ日 – nothing much happened, just lazed around a bit. The night before was online with Ee Va, and she suggested that me, Ai kun and Mel, go yum cha and meet some of the law people. So since I had nothing to do at home, I was like, okay la, very long never see some of this people also, so initially she said 8.30pm but then that dragged till almost 10 something pm where I was starting to get annoyed and lazy to go.
As most of you people know I’m not really a punctual person, and though I’m patient, the maximum that I will wait is an hour. But oh well, since she did message me to say that she will be late, so I just had to wait. Just at the moment when I was deciding of backing out cause I was getting lazy, they told me they were on their way. So I had no choice.
Well, don’t regret going out. Initially wanted to go to secret recipe in my area, but we went out so late that it was an hour to closing time, so we went to SS2 KTZ to yum cha. Who went? Well obviously Ee Va who was our driver, the 3 mentioned above, Shah, Suki, Joel, Alvin & his friends, & ming choi..
ermm I think that’s about it. I was kind of quiet again, but then again it was so noisy there, that for me to talk I had to raise my voice and I felt like sore throat, so I didn’t really talk much. Of course there are pictures, but they are with Ee Va cause I forgot my camera. So I have to wait for her to send the pictures to me. =.=
After that got home at bout 12 something in the morning, went online for a bit then went to bed.
十四日九月：木よ日 – ermm, Thursday, woke up earlier then my usual time, I actually woke up in the morning haha instead of at 1pm. The reason being was that, I had people coming over. Who came over? Well chi ming, Mel and Nick leong, came over. As I had recently acquired a burner, I stole even more animes from chi ming’s external hard drive haha. Later when mel came over, we went to ming tien for lunch; I brought my little baby along, he was such a good boy :p
Well then as nick leong came late, and as he hasn’t eaten yet, so I left chi ming, mel and nick there to eat and chat while I ran a few errands, namely, going to the bank, buying my manga, and collecting the music book that I already photocopied.. Now I only need to think how to return the book to huey :p
All the while, while doing my errand I left my little baby in their care, he was such a good boy, he just sat down there only and didn’t move, well he was sitting on a chair anyway haha.. Guess he was scared that his mummy don’t want him :p
After that we headed back to my house, and while mel and chi ming gawked over the huge amount of anime that nick had brought for me, (nick did “anime spring cleaning” haha and I am MPPJ taking what he don’t want haha)
I took out the mahjong. Haha thanks nick for the anime :p but I don’t have much time left, to watch it yet. Has wah jiang burnt the bleach yet? =.= if I have no time to watch here I think I will bring it over with me to watch :p
So we had mahjong, haha, chi ming and I are real jokers la, as I had taught some of you people before, I remember teaching you all that, different people and places may have different rules, but the essential basics are the same.
So, bottom line was, that chi ming and I had different rules. Well to be honest, I’m more used to playing 4 people, while chi ming is used to 3 people? Anyway, his rules and mine can be used la, just that it’s confusing so we took “rule” turns. Haha this round follow my rules, next round his rules :p but I think mostly was my rules :p but my 3people rules comes from li mei wan wor… sigh.. don’t know la
Mel had to leave early to collect her visa, so nick took her place, and he learnt mahjong haha, for the first few rounds of his game we played “open” i.e. everybody show their cards, as some of you know, when I play I don’t arrange my cards so playing open is not much loss for me haha, just that chi ming and I were like, kiasu haha.. Real joker la both of us had a real good laugh and lots of fun. Thanks chi ming, and thanks to mel and nick, mahjong couldn’t be played without either one of you.
I tried 2 people mahjong with ccy last time remember? Did I blog about that? Anyway, it’s super baka haha and impossible.
So played mahjong till about 5 something in the evening then all of them left cause I had piano class at 6pm.
Went for piano class, my piano teacher, dolly seemed a little sad, cause that’s my last piano lesson with her. We are kind of close for student and teacher cause we both love anime, and we are constantly exchanging anime and sometimes we go anime shopping together. Sigh those were the times, anyway not like I won’t be coming back anymore. Have to come back… =.=
So that’s bout it, after piano class went home, ate, watch tv and anime and sleep.
Nothing much happened on Friday besides the usual stuff, and oh getting scolding from my mum for being such a slug, which so totally doesn’t move =.= so we will jump to Saturday.
十六日九月：土よ日 – woke up late, as I was watching law of ueki the night before, woke up, to my mum scolding me, wait, I think she scolded me on Friday la…. Well Saturday woke up, ate porridge had corn, then… =_=’ what did I do? Damn, can’t remember.
The only thing I remember is, oh, I sorted through the mountain of anime that nick gave me on Thursday, wah, most of them mecha anime.. -_-“ Well sorted through what I liked, though as I said before unfortunately, no time to watch. I only have 11 days before my flight.
Lately, I’ve tidied my room, and took out all the sweaters that I can wear and will be bringing over, but either than that, nothing done, haven’t done medical check up and all yet =.= sigh… no offer letter can’t do anything, so when I get it, it’s going to be a super busy week for me.
Anyway, after sorting through the anime, I went online and discovered that my computer needed a software update, doing that at home was like, telling tmnet to charge me 100 bucks straight away, so I packed it all up and brought it to xian ai’s house.
Which brings me to, what was I doing at her house? Haha, well today, the scouter council held a farewell for her, she was after all the scouter council chairperson. And lately, due to my exam I didn’t really hang out much with the scouter council, so I wasn’t so close to them.. =.=
Anyway, she told them that I was leaving too, so it became a joint farewell thing. The Scouter council loves to have barbeque, well, I don’t think any of you people noticed, but, if you’ve been following my post, it’s true, this round it was pot luck. Thank goodness, I was thinking I sure die from sore throat.
So, I went to Ai kun’s house at bout 4pm and made apple pie with her, then I dropped by mel’s house to curi bleach anime haha. And well she wanted some stuff from me, so I said that I will go home and burn it for her.
After that, tried and tried to use the internet in Ai kun’s house to no avail… so chatted with her sister and waited for the others to arrive. Wow some of them really punctual. Haha..
Err.. who came for the scouter council organised farewell ar? Wah a lot wor.. Some came super late, some just came to drop by only for a little while only.. errm I will try to mention all that I remember.. Sigh too bad I don’t have broadband if not I can just post the pictures, then I don’t have to rack my memory haha..
Ermm who went.. Vincent, zhon liang, sooi kuan, Melissa (although she was a none scout, Ai kun asked her to come too haha, we all baka, baka, wanted to say that mel was a DJ scout, but then again DJ scouts no girls wan la haha :p)
kuan fei, aun wei, kuan fei’s familiar looking-I –think -I –met- her- before girlfriend; Anita. Ermm swee kit, kwee kiat, tuck long, yoon kong, bobby (? - Don’t know this guy… never seen before, then again, I think I’ve seen him before haha, anyway he’s in the same batch as tuck long)
Su yi, Angeline, sook ping, sheng mae, Caroline, Jason, Charles, cheng keat, horng yang, Edwin, hwee ming, Vincent (this is not a typo, there were two vincents, one quite old liao haha another is one year younger, the younger one is my teman main abseiling last time) trixie aka pei san, imi… 26 people all in all? I don’t know whether I left out anyone…
Cause well there were too many people, and I would be like eh, suddenly only this guy is here or something like that haha oh, this kuan fei thought that Ai kun’s house was mine haha, but he was also thinking can’t be, cause he has been to my house before, and it wasn’t his first time in her house.
Anyway he had that thinking cause I was like taking out the plates and all, and acting like a host.. celaka, bad habit of mine to do & take over things =.= but anyway Ai kun was busy entertaining people, and since I had nothing to do, and during that time I still felt “down” so I didn’t want to socialise much I kept myself busy.
In the end, I’m still me, I can’t be a hermit for long with so many people around, sigh, so I ended up being.. What else? But “me” and started my super loud laughing and all haha.. Haven’t had that much fun with a big crowd of friends for so long :p
So in the end, it’s the people that I’m not that close too, that brought me out of my “rented” shell. So that’s how it was.
After eating, we played a game, where each person takes a card and puts it on their fore head, you can’t look at you own card, but you can see others. And then the rule will be either, the one with the smallest or biggest or both had to finish whatever food or drink there is.
Everyone will then take turns to pile the food on a plate in the middle or to pour the drinks into the cup. After that, everyone will open their card and the one, which fulfils the criteria, has to finish or the food or drink.
Walueh, play that game also managed to finish a lot of the left over food. Which, I think was the purpose of the game? Haha but I chickened out and started to clean up the place a little… :p I really couldn’t eat anymore, or I would have puked, so I chicken out lor haha.. Know your limit ma :p
After that, I somehow managed to finally go online, cheng keat who works in the computer distribution line said that something was wrong with the router or something like that :p anyway managed to go online to update my software, and at the same time msn with some people, and play monopoly with Ai kun, Imi, Charles and Jason.
Gosh man, how many decades has it been since I last played monopoly? I’ve totally forgotten all the rules and this and that, that I think Jason got quite irritated with me haha.. Cause first, I wasn’t really paying attention to the game and second I forgot every single rule in the book on monopoly, and I was refusing to sell my property to save the others… I was like, if I die, I’m bringing everyone with me haha :p evil no? haha
But, anyway I had no luck in monopoly, I kept landing on the “chance” and what’s it called? “Community chest”? Anyway you get my drift. Celaka, always ended up there, then got sent to jail, backside, how to buy property? Ai kun shared the same fate as I, and our property was the least among all, and we had a lot of money, from the “chance” and all, but no property… sigh.. In the end.. Charles and Jason exchanged property with me haha.. Oh well, I wasn’t really paying attention to the game anyway.. :p
Question.. Why are people so curious as to whether I have a boyfriend? Don’t have is don’t have la.. Haha this Edwin looked through my camera, in which the pictures haven’t been deleted since bon odori and pointed and asked (the picture that ro and I took on gene’s birthday in BTS) my boyfriend ar?
Then I of course la say no, (though I was like sweat -_-‘ I mean do we look like that? No right… some people… if you say gene and I, more like it la haha) then he saw the picture of me and gene during gene’s graduation, I straight away say no, before he can ask haha.. He also like.. Hmm this girl know I’m going to ask liao ahah
Then this imi ask whether horng yang my boyfriend… alamak.. Maybe I should post a notice on my head saying I’m single la ahhaha.. I thought such incidences limited to relatives only, mana tau it has spread to friends liao.. Haha maybe cause 20 already la this year.. So people kind of expect hor? :p
Anyway sometimes people can be really amusing, no? keke that’s what makes life interesting, and full of colour and fun to be in :p
Now here comes the reason as to why this post is called mon dai nai haha..
Ok, before the monopoly game, aun wei had went home to get his self invented board game, and a bottle of black label/whisky (I was told that it’s 40% alcohol, horng yang let me taste it diluted with ice, and I was like “yuck” it really taste horrid la, compared to the usual wine or beer that I drink.. =.=)
And we played a stupid, funny drinking game haha.. The board is divided into 4 corners of different colours, namely, pink, blue, green and yellow. The team of each colour had a motto that they must say before they drink, and for the pink team which was aun wei’s group, his first drinking partner was lynn, but since he always kena, so he changed a lot of partners, and he ended up with, Edwin, Vincent senior, and Ai kun’s sister; Xian Ching. Vincent senior was supposed to be my team’s back up haha..
Ok after that in the green corner we had trixie and imi, and in the yellow corner, but they were wearing read “bandanas” were Jason and charles. Each group are supposed to tie a cloth of their group colour on their head…
Mine was blue, and my partner was Ai kun haha.. The game was that we throw a dice and move our tokens, the board consists of papers of the 4 teams’ colours, and numbers, so lets say if I throw the dice and I move 6 steps and I land on a pink square with the number 2, it means that all the members of the pink team must drink 2 shots each. (I really need to upload the picture la, so hard to explain haha)
The game continues until everyone ends up in “jail” the first and subsequent teams to enter “jail” first no longer throw the dice, but each team member drinks a shot during their turn. There are also chance squares, where if you land there, you get to pick which team you want to drink, and they will throw the dice to determine how many shots. These shots are not per team member but the whole team.
Anyway.. Before you drink you must say your team motto at least once, if you forget and you drink, you have to drink another shot.
So aun wei’s team’s motto was gambatte kudasai, errr direct translation would mean, please give it your all. Trixie’s team’s motto, gochisosama meaning, thank you for the meal, basically it’s something that is said after a meal. Jason’s team’s motto was, nodoga kawakagimashita(I think) which means I’m thirsty.
My team? Haha your guess is right. Mine was mon dai nai, no problem :p
So who kena the most shots? Aun wei’s team that’s why he had to keep changing partners haha, the 2nd most to kena was my team, but I tahan longer than his partners and him haha, but around the ending of the game I reached my limit already == haha so tuck loong, and Vincent senior had to help me drink :p
The 3rd team to kena the most was trixie’s team, finally followed by Jason’s team. Haha I didn’t want to throw the dice, cause when I did, it always ended up on my own team colour, if you throw on your own colour also you have to drink =.= damn man, I drank more than my limit that day.
To make myself feel better I had to induce vomiting… makes me sound bulimic haha but I only do that when I drink over my limit. That’s how I keep sober after that haha..
Ai kun’s limit was lower then mine so I drank more than her =.= follow mum side can drink quite a lot haha.. oh by the way the concoction that we drank was a mixture of lye-chee, coke, and black label.
Which my mum says is not right, you get drunk faster that way actually, whisky is supposed to be diluted with ice or water not other drinks especially gassy drinks.. Guessed that’s why so fast konk out la ahha The initial first round the drink was still very diluted, but the bar tender a.k.a swee kit who had helped xian ai drink a bit also, put too much black label la.. Can taste it.. =.=
Anyway as aun wei kena the most haha, he was acting drunk so fast already ahha.. joker la hilarious to see this kind of people..
After the game ended, we took some pictures and tuck loong sent me home.. Thanks tuck loong! For the second time in my life, I drank until I can’t even stand up without help and couldn't walk straight haha.. But after a little while got better la… The first time that happened was 3 years ago la I think haha.. This is the second time haha.. But the last time I drank this much was at the last family gathering? Ermm no I think Adelaide was the last time I drank so much haha..
Anyway went home, and hit the bed.. But damn couldn’t sleep.. Weird right? Usually after drinking so much one would just konk out, but I couldn’t sleep so I went online for an hour or so, till I developed a headache and got sleepy, then hit the sack..
rowie has a blog now haha but his background colour same as gene’s one la.. ro, wanna change colour or not? I can help you change haha.. That’s what I did for mine haha.. :p
ermm anyway, that was about it for the party then. Oh ya, Ai kun’s mum’s asam laska the soup is damn nice ahha.. no MSG or wat not.. nice haha
Anyway on Sunday helped my mum cook. Nothing much went on, watched forensic heroes (a tvb drama) with her then hit the sack.
十八日九月-slept late cause watched bleach and the forensic heroes, woke up to dad’s phone call asking me to call my lecturer for my results… no need to say la, study of course pass wan la sigh.. But offer letter not here yet.. So see how la.. Anyway for the next 3 nights, including this night, I’ll be going out. Tonight, I will be going out to maybe get some stuff for my going over to UK, and yum cha with my shin (thomas) and other people.
The yum cha got cancelled, cause well, Thomas had a funeral to attend, and I went out shopping to get stuff that I will need to bring over to the UK. (Kind of tired liao, sorry Thomas :p) For the first time in my life, I now own a pair of shoes, which cost over 70 bucks haha
Yes, I may sound a little sad, but the truth was that, I was still growing until I entered college. Now, this past two years, I stop growing lioa. Sigh.. I’m stuck at a measly 163cm, but today after my shoe shopping horror, I’m thankful in a way, and actually want to be slightly shorter. Maybe 160 isn’t that bad.
Anyway, why on earth did I say that, when all the while I had been lamenting that I’m short (well if you always hung out with guys, you would feel short too =.=) cause well, those ghost people, (translate to Chinese youself) are baka people the maximum size that they have for women shoes is 7 ½ , my size is 8, so imagine my horror tat I had to buy those bulky, ugly looking guy shoes instead..
Okay, they aren’t that ugly but they sure are bulky.. Anyway, found one, which still looked a tad feminine and had my size. So happy la today haha, it’s not bad the shoes. Nike hehe… my first pair of expensive shoes… :p so in away, becoming bantut, has its blessings, being tall doesn’t really have it’s blessings haha.. More like having big feet are a curse haha :p
Ok back to this week’s plans….
Tuesday night is suki’s birthday party in KL, and Wednesday, is a farewell that chi ming organised for mel, Ai kun & I. if anyone who is still in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is reading this, please RSVP with me by Tuesday 19th September 7pm if I don’t hear from you, it’s assumed you are not going.. If you are going to drop by please give me a call, thanks.
So that’s all for the time being, my post has reached it’s usual super long length :p so I guess that I will end here now.
