from the 26th of april 2010 (Sunday) till the 2nd of May 2010 (Sunday) i was in China with my family and my aunts (from my mum's side) on a tour...well holiday..

overall it was nice... scenery was beautiful... food was ok, learnt new things bout the culture... they have 52 minority tribes.. and wow... the women wear the pants in some of those tribes, (and the men.. are damn lucky...house husbands... imagine..)

and there's a well... really interesting tribe... (men didn't need to take responsibility at all,) haha... weather was okay too.. loved the cool/cold weather.. well downside? with china... you know it's the toilets... then again back home here we have really disgusting toilets too... so what the heck... at least 50% of the toilets we went too were okay.. i notice they have a problem with flushing.. it's smelly and disgusting, cause they can't flush... water system has a huge problem =.='

souvenir wise it was really difficult to buy anything.. why? well, cause everything is made in China, you can buy it back home... as for the food stuff.. i went to kun ming, dali, li jiang, and one more place... can't really remember.. but there was a hot spring there? haha... i guess that's what you get when you mandarin is only 40% usable??

anyway... i couldn't buy tidbits either for my colleagues, cause it was almost all yak meat... which i don't think my indian colleagues can eat, cause it's like a cow?? and my muslim colleagues either.. cause i'm not sure if it's halal.... =.=' so in the end i bought whatever i could... some preserved... sourish, saltish thing.. (shin mui kind of thing...)

also along the way i didn't really get quite a number of explanation from the guide, and had to rely on the tour leader and relatives to explain what was going on... but in the general sense... i got what was going on.... so guess it was ok?

but on the 2nd day? i think.. i fell ill.. it was a bit too cold for me.. and smart ass me, didn't wear a jacket to sleep. so i practically freezed to death... and caught the cold.. arghh suffering... especially when i had to fly (from li jian to kun ming... and the worse was kun ming to home..)

it was so dry, my throat ended up so damn sore, i almost lost my voice.. and my skin broke out in rashes, cause it was so damn dry... (either it;s the dryiness or the flu medicine.. which i think could be the medicaiton...cause i didn't get this rash in hte UK) and am still suffering the effects now as i sit here, sweating like a pig here typing this... (cause i got used to their weather, ours is too hot now.. practically bathing in sweat ) =.='

so again, the scenery was really beautiful, especially at the lake and mountain shall upload to Face book when i've the time. oh yeah, i made a new friend too... it's nice :)

but a little weird thing happened.. on friday night (30 april 2010), i dreamt that my boss was unhappy bout something, and then after that he seemed happy.. =.=' (it was like, he was unhappy i wasn't in the office? and happy again when i was back in - guess that's cause i'm back to do the work...?? =.=' i get that feeling.... i swear honest to god, it really felt like he was happy again in the dream cause i was there to do the work... =.=' weird right?)

so when i got home on the 2nd of may (at night, tired like hell, and still down with the cold...not really done unpacking...) you know that naggy feeling you get??

so okay, i check my email, and i see something from him... a number of his comments.... and you know.. (i'm a really impatient person), i don't profess to be a genius.. i admit i learn slow... and i'm a visual learner.. that's why i learn faster when i've something to read/compare, like a text book, or a sample document... (lately my attention span is quite short too.. and usually i don't like those really thick text books anyway, but the simple straightforward books)

so yes, i don't like the damn thing either, and would like to get it done and over with too.. i didn't stay till 11pm on the 23rd of april to finish it so that i had to redo it/add on to it, and make my dad have to come all the way down to the office to pick me up, cause it was 11pm and no one could drop me at the train station.

so thank you very much for your comments. i've been doing the work from the start, and forgive me, but my brain really can't process anymore, i see it as it is.... and you as a fresh brain... well thank you for your comments............................................. really.......... i don't know if it's inexperience or what.. but i really couldn't pick out the points you did..=.='

anyway, another point of annoyance.... oh wait.. ermm, let's say the good stuff first... a nice old malaysian chinese man... okay not that old, maybe bout my dad's age, let me cut the line, so that i could board the plane with my family.... thank you nice chinese man...

on the other hand, the annoying point? was this malay man... maybe about... late 30's? or mid 40's? was an ass.... when the plane landed and people were disembarking, he was pushing me trying to get into the lane to get out.... hello?? you really shouldn't wear sunglasses in a plane on a night/evening flight, cause obviously you can't see that the lane between the seats was so congested with people, that i couldn't get out either, so all your idiotic pushing was for naught....

i don't give a shit if you are going to wet your pants there, you were just plain rude, so a big no thank you to your rudeness you middle aged malay man, and for irritating me, after a sort of pleasant flight...

(sort of, cause well... my cold made my ear hurt really bad during landing, and the fact that there was a problem with the plane's audio system... and the food was reallly, really horrible i couldn't eat it, and the air stewardess english was horrible... and.... that the plane was really small and cramped, and fully booked and had only two toilets..... yeah i think that's the end of the complaint)

yeap, i think that's it... i had a fun trip, slightly dampened by my lack of understanding in manadarin, and due to my cold, and the fact that no one.. i repeat NO ONE, would accompany me to the hot springs :( then again, i was already down with the cold then, so it was in some sense a blessing in disguise...

i bought a number of things for myself.. at a cheap price (hey it's China right?), namely? a name card holder, cheaper than what you can get it for back home... a blouse, and a jacket... well with the clothings, i hope they don't shrink after being washed.. (they kept me really warm too, so i think they should be ok?)

other than that.. there's really nothing much to buy there, (cause we can get it back home)... so it was a lot of scenery pictures.. it was a pity the cable car for the snow mountain was under maintanence... i miss snow... but it was still okay?

alritey... really tired from the trip, so need to sleep as tomorrow it's back to the office, i'm starting to wish that i had taken an extra day off =.=' but then again. i'm taking a day off this week for my physiotheraphy... sigh.... so i didn't take that one day....

so back to work tomorrow to face the shit... err work... and yeah.. drowsy from the cold medication.. going to hit the sack.. good night world...

sorry la... if this post sounds angry again, my dreams have been telling me that i've been holding in too much shit, and need to let it go.. hahhahaha... nitey all :)

i hope i can come home early.... cause tomorrow my dad is going to pick my precious up, i missed him so much throughout the whole trip =.=' baby~~~ come home to mummy ;p hehehhe

again, nites :p

What is contentment?

contentment, is happiness in a.... i don't know what... can't think right now.. haha (thinking of watching Fringe haha)

i am contented cause i had a wonderful dinner :)

after almost more than 6 years i think.... (could be more...) i had banana leaf rice... at the lotus, jalan gasing.. (i could be suffering a bout of amnesia, but that's when i last remembered having eaten banana leaf rice... at that exact restaurant too haha)

yum, yum.. stomach is nice and contented... (unfortunately i was starved and finished it without taking a picture.. sigh.. oh well... )

but i remember the fried chicken.. the savoury mutton.. and oh, oh the fish cutlet... melts in your mouth... *slurp* i really liked the fish cutlet :p

and what made it even better? wonderful company XD

ahh~ as they say the company is really important :) they make the food taste even better... hehe Thank you dearie hehe... you're the best XD

-Oracl3-

p/s: err the tag "Achievement" is there, cause i think its an achievement that i finally got to eat banana leaf rice after so long haha XD

good night everyone :)

Note: CLP = Certificate of Legal Practise, a 9 month course foreign law graduates have to sit through, in order to get their license to practise as a lawyer.

Okay, actually I had received the information from a certain law firm that the results will be out today. And well, they called me this morning saying things along the line that I've passed, and would I like to work in their firm.

Well, before that Xian Ai had called me with the news and I went back to sleep, only to recieve the phone call from that firm. I tried going back to sleep, but since my sleep was disrupted and Xian Ai was going to come pick me up to go to the CLP board, so up I got to get ready.

Now, now.. enough of the talk.. I'm sure everyone is anxious for the results, and really just want to get over my mindless ramblings...

Well, about my results.. what can I say? I studied last minute... And I seriously mean last minute. I only prepared for some of the papers the night before the exams, and was totally freaking out that I haven't studied a thing at all.

If not for Xian Ai's gracious help, I wouldn't even know what to write on my exam papers!!

I know, I said that if I pass then there is no quota.. Well...

I guess....

There's no quota after all...?

My father laughed when I called to tell him that I passed!! Cause he called it "sleeping results" I shan't comment on that..

I'm obviously happy that I passed, so that I don't have to resit.. but am slightly disappointed that I can't play for another year, but have to enter the work force..haha, but who am I to complain?

Erm, am a little upset on the behalf of a friend who helped me so,so, so much but didn't make it.. and am upset on behalf of other friends who didn't make it as well... Sigh.. My friend studied harder than me.. I don't understand how she could fail.. Is there really a quota? :p

And am happy for the other friends who passed along with me!!

Some might complain about my lack of enthusiasm or call me over confident.. But somehow I knew that I would pass.. it's that premonition kind of feeling? Erm, thank the stars that I'm born with good selective memory....

P/S: MSN you really are a retard!!

Title: kyou ha shiro chan wo modotte kuru/Shiro is coming home today!!

Yes, title says it all.. and I've got to run now.. have to go out for lunch and head on for my interview..

Am elated.. :) and no longer so depressed haha.. If I ever was to start with haha

Title: Okaeri Shiro Chan/ Welcome back Shiro Chan

Yay... I got my computer back from the shop... Although they said serviced... Doesn't look like they did much... and it seems I'm in a little tight spot in downloading anime from one of my usual sites.. something to do with the Java, but well, my software is being updated.. so I'll see how it is after the update..

As of now.. I shall rejoice a little.. I will have to call them tomorrow about installation CDs... =.='

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 -->

Okay, done fangirling... need to force myself to study.. I'm only half done with the syllabus.. Sobs~ 頑張って！！

Title: Banzai = equivalent to our English, Hooray!!


I can use megaupload to download!! and I don't need the retarded toolbar!!

But I can't manage big files, due to an unstable connection =.='

Maybe it was a fluke also, cause maybe at this time, not many people have killed off the megaupload allocated bandwith.. but whatever it is..

I'm currently donwloading a manga..

Now, let's see if I can finish the download.....

「ありがとうれいもんくん」Arigatou Raymond kun

五日五月二零零八年：月曜日

Finally after like... How many months? I had a long awaited dinner with my "big bro" Raymond... well, when I first came back from London, he merely dropped by to pick up a souvenir I had bought for him in London, and we went for Thai Food at his best friend's place....

That was months ago... and now, finally after goodness knows how many months, we finally had another dinner date... Well for one, he was busy with his girlfriend and work... so yeah.. I'm secondary.... It's always like that with everyone, the only way for me to be a primary issue, was if I were to get myself a boyfriend... Which to me, is nothing but trouble.... but oh well, i digress, when the time comes, then I'll know if it's trouble or not haha... it could be an enjoyable trouble haha... Okay, back to the topic at hand...

Usually we would eat in the Curve, which he claims is his territory, but I guess today he really couldn't decide what to eat, and well, rushing for time, etc.. i don't know the reason... So we headed to BU, and had Japanese at the restaurant where I was first introduced to him by my sister haha... ah the nostalgia... anyway, as with all our dinners we had a spanking good time, chatting away.. and he showed me pictures of his recent trip to.... JAPAN with his girlfriend's family...

Oooooh, It's so beautiful... Osaka, Kyoto and well, Tokyo.... he even went to mount Fuji.. .ahh.. i'm so envious... Osaka and Kyoto was so beautiful.. but from the looks of his tour, they brought him to places like universal studio and all.. i would rather go see the castles, and other local landmarks then spend a day at universal studio.....

but they did have an Onsen stop in his itinerary... As usual as expected of girls... they were too shy to get in haha.. Malaysian girls.. I hope that if i ever do get the chance to do so, i wouldn't be shy, and will go into the hot springs :p

oh and he went in spring, when the Sakuras are in season.. so beautiful....

And well, being such a nice friend he was, he got me a souvenir from Japan, he was asking me before he left, what i would like, well i jokingly said a kimono haha, but those are very, VERY pricey, so i said just get me anything if you like.. i don't expect anything... it's the thought that counts you know :) so he being such a dear, got me a very beautiful item :)

also since he was sent to Korea, Seoul last week for work purposes, he got me a souvenir as well...

So let's see what he got me... :)

So pretty and quaint, a Korean book mark :) it helps that I like to read... :)

And from Japan, which he said, in place of a Kimono, which was too pricey he got me this instead...

OMG such a pretty handkerchief, well it's too nice to use, and i don't use such things anyway, preferring tissues haha but he said it was mostly for decorative purposes as well.. haha when and if i get my own house, i'm framing this up for sure.. :)

Thank you Raymond!! i love them all :p and thanks for dinner again... when I start working, he will be one of the first, besides my parents that is, that is going to have dinner on me!! :)

Sayounara Meng kun/ Goodbye Meng

Looks like i can write Japanese again.. guess it must have been the connection in Bentong, or blogspot was acting weird that day...

So anyway, tomorrow Meng is flying back to Vancouver... Sigh.. thus is my life.... Once ccy leaves for Michigan in June.. I'll be the only one from our "gang" left here... such a lonesome life... aii..

On another note.. my "big bro" a.k.a Raymond... has finally arranged a date with his "lil' sis" here.. after months, and months.. of him being holed up in Johor, and being unavailable.... but oh well... it would be nice to have dinner with him again, after so many.... wait..... well yeah, it's months... not years... haha.. i recall going out for Thai food with him, when I got back... so i passed him the souvenir from London, for his apartment...bla bla....

hmmm~ what else.. oh..Meng has decided to leave his violin with me, while he is away in Canada.. because.. apparently he is lazy, and he has a lot of luggage.. (he gets to bring at least 46kg with him.. what is with the UK??? 25 KG isn't enough for students!! Tourists get 20kg, what makes you think an extra 5 would do us good??!!) but him, being him..

I suspect, that maybe he left it with me, because it seems that i have taken a huge interest in playing the violin.. and according to him.. "I'm made for the violin" though i digress.. i still think i'm kind of bad at it... but I think I'm getting a hand at it.. i just need more time to practise.... something which i don't have until after July.. sigh... But it's interesting, because I'm starting to believe I'm not tone deaf after all... I at least have relative pitch I guess.. Maybe when i have time later, i ought to give the ear training site another go...

Anyway, whatever it is, thank you meng, for letting me have the violin :p

Oh well... when i have the time or mood....

On a totally different level....

When I was talking to a certain friend the other day... haha.. I realised the root of it all... Well one of the main causes of it, I guess.... =.=**そうです，昨晩「さくばん」は、私と智君が、MSN　が話が時が、その時は私はわかただいよう。私の不況「ふきょう」の理由「りよう」

titles is tadaima... meaning i'm home.. actually need to check on this cause sometimes i find it read as todaima... とだいま...

anywya.. am back from australia. got back on the 23rd, and since my parents were in my hometown i had to go over to my aunt's house to wait for them. and ended up going for a movie in one utama with my two cousins, ben and yen ling...

so what did we watch? infection..... hahha nicole kidman was inside... well after black sheep.... i was kinda sceptical... and was hoping that it wasn't a stupid movie...

it was a thriller i would say.. and well it was ok.... alien infections.. waht more can you get out of it? sounds like alien haha...

overall wasn't a bad watch. the best part?? it was free... :p muahahha.. courtesy of my cousin - ling... and after the movie, window shopped and actually shopped a bit.. i bought a blouse from padini :) my cousin ben makes a good boyfriend ahha.. shopping with two girls... :p so patient.. [somewhat like gene :) - i miss gene... i wanna go out mamak ==] ... anyone up for grabs? haha he is 4 years younger than me though.. 19 years old only ekke...(muahaha.. advertising my own cousin :p )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

maxis broadband is still being a pain in the ass, the day after i got back ie on a monday, my dad called maxis and asked to upgrade to their power package. 3,6 mbkps apparently, when it is at its best service.. the cost RM98....

and it takes a week to update.. so we will see how it goes then...

computer seems to have slown down.. for no good reason... don't know what's wrong with it... == havent been able to download manga and anime cause of teh connection.. so am scratching my head.. guess teh weather here is too hot for my shiro chan (白ちゃん :p)

so anyway... my trip to australia.. was quite fun.. minus.. some really stress enduring moments, courtesy of my relatives (non stop with the trivial arguments... ==).. but overall it wasn't a bad trip... learnt how to read maps properly, already learnt it on my europe travels... but improved better here... (take that des!!! i can read maps okay... kutuk me somemore... *blek* >P you SHOM muahhahha )

picked up my old hobby of reading again... before i left i asked my dad to buy me a book to read incase i got bored at the airport or while travelling, so i got john grisham's a time to kill.. watched the movie eons ago. and thought taht i would get his book, since i havent read anything besides law books (well not really law books haha as i hardly study after all...), manga (a lot of these especeially shoujou genres ), some fanfiction, (especially fan fiction on ghost hunt, la corda etc...) and harry potter (thanks to the deathly hallows...)

while i was in australia i came across an interesting book that really captured my interest, as some of you all know my nature...

it is called the tales of otori, about a feudal japan in a fantasy world.... got the prequel called heaven's net is wide.... it actually is a trilogy, somewhat like lord of the rings?? ahah..eastern style.. written by an australian author.. and well.. for someone into japanese culture.. at least i could conenct with teh story, since i used to read up on feudal japan, having an itnerest in that as well... easier to imagine how everything was like as well :)

was a really nice story, and i actaully now feel like getting my hands on the other books to find out what happens in the whole thing...

am kind of lazy to write a sypnopsis of waht i read, cause i know that it will be a 5000 word essay or even more.. so click here... if you havent already clicked on the link above...

basically the story are bout clans fighting each other, for teh control of the country, alliances formed, betrayals.. deaths, lost of loveds ones, new love found, learning patience, and deviousness, plots for revenge.... and well.. really an interesting and captivating story, try to read it if you can, and if you have an interest in fuedal japan...

as for me... i will start visiting bookshops looking for it now haha..or if all fails i will ask my brother who is in australia to buy them back for me hehehe ;p

my hobbies are all expensive... == books arent cheap.. anime and manga as well... learning to dance, play piano or to do sports cost money as well.. might as well sleep???? ;p
well no one to do sports with me aslo == and i have no sense of coordination... sad ya... == years of slothing around brought that onto me i guess...

on another note.. satoshi kun... (智君)　ie chee yong aka ccy is back in malaysia !!! yea!!! welcome back for the holidays.. :) at leasst for teh time being i have another teman... (not that the others are not good temans ;p)

and well... another friend to go out with at least... so won't be so bored at home i guess... but i also need some time to catch up on my studies.. missed 5 classes due to my trip... so well... can easily read to catch up i guess... and well... they do have make up classes in november.. we will see how it goes...

as for my little baby.. hehhe.... he was so happy when he saw me... and though a little naughty, still cute nontheless :)

currently my maternal grandmother is staying over and with the maid as well.. haha so, ive had no nagging so far kekek.. thanks to the maid muahhaha.... >:) and well all is fine at teh moment, recently went to the dentist for a followup for my retianers..and was told i can actually slowly reduce the time i wear them and eventually get rid of it all together..(i've already been "reducing my time" muahahha,,,) when i go travelling anywya, i don't wear them haha.. too much of a hassle... but since i have the green light to reduce and in the end get rid of it... >:)

and that concludes waht i've been doing for the time being, as said i will upload pictures and blog about perth.... western australia later... need to collect pictures from my relatives first,....

time for dinner.. till then... 待ったね　：）

then in the night, mel organised a dinner for me with the bridges people... she really wanted to give me a surprise that she even had me blindfolded...
seems like the weather didn't like me being blindfolded, and when i was blindfolded.. it rained cats and dogs.. and stopped only when the blindfold was removed at George's hotel... for my favourite food.. Japanese food :) hehe i haven't had it in ages.. so yes it is my favourite food as well.. so yes am happy thanks mel... :)

For items that i am selling please go to the post titled MIA from reading, which is just directly below this post. pls buy them off me asap, cause if not i am going to pass them to the reading law society to sell, masa itu harga sudah naik!!!

this post is to announce that i am a LLB!!!!!! i passed my exams!!!! muahahha... so the nice graduation date.. ie 7th july 2007 notice -->07-07-07 is mine!!!!! muahaha.. nice number and date to graduate :p they say that in magic 7 is a lucky number :p

well i am happy bout my results, i really couldn't ask for more, seeing that i did last minute work...

tried to study medical like a week before, and EU 3 days before and the rest the night before.. i was so stressed and freaking out, asking friend's for notes and all... until i couldn't sleep, couldnt eat... it was insane studying for the paper the night before.... seeing that furthermore, i didn't really do my tutorials and well lectures were like somewhat a waste of my time...

OMG it's a miracle la in some ways... but i could answer every question they gave me, so i thought that i was between a fail and a 3rd class... but i got a second class ahaha so yes, i am happy... accorddin to paul i can even qualify for the BAR.. but too bad no money la, UK is expensive for us malaysians after all... and i guess my little baby might kill me if i stay on any longer?? haha

well congrats to the other TUC people here, 3rd years for all of us passed as well.. and no one got 3rd class or lower.. so it's good

for the other Taylor's people or non taylor's people, as your results are coming out soon. GOOD LUCK AND ALL THE BEST. i m sure that you will all do great, or even better than expected... :)

to those that were worried over me for my exam results and all. THANK YOU :) i appreciate it, and actually i owe a very big thanks to mel!!!

thanks mel for keeping me in one piece during my exams!!!! if it wasn't for you, i would be freaking out way much more and couldn't even do my last minute studying!!!! owe you big time mel!! *hugz*

and well... sorry for being "cold" hahha.. i m always cold anyway aren't i??!! == but lately i don't know why, i m even more not so touchy feely..... == but that's me... :p

another thing to thank mel was orgnaising a lil birthday party for me last night haha, i was tired cause i got back from paris and wasn;t really in the mood as all that was going on in my mind was... SLEEP....

and well, from what she was trying to do, i assumed that she was going to do what she did to dave with me... ie collect(kumpul.. sorry i suddenly thought in malay... and direct translation is collect... == haha ) the bridges people and you know bring a cake and all...

but..... it was the malaysians haha, so yes i was still suprised and was very happy...

so thank you derrick didi, vivian, michelle mimi, jason boy, thong, michelle aka chelle, wei li, wendy, kenny, bri, paul, xian ai, aiyee, aiyee's bf.. wing hing? did i spell his name correct??? sorry if i got it wrong... and well, thanks desmond des, for coming even though you had work... :)

and thanks to mel, for organising it, and i heard from her, that i have a dinner tonight as well, with the bridges crew hehe :) thanks mel!!!

and well, to vivian and wendy... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TRUFFLES :p will slowly saviour it... :p
