i wonder why have been having weirder and weirder dreams. or should i call it nightmares? everytime it occurs, the feeling is so damn real! makes me think it's the reality and not dreams.
anyway, i can't really remember the details everytime. just a rough idea. last night's dream was about me being accused of being a murderer. the killing was actually done by another person, and i was there at the wrong time. i remember that it was a girl who died. a large crowd of people saw me there, and i was proclaimed guilty without trial. the worst thing is, no one believed me, even my close and best friends. i can't remember seeing any faces at all. either they are hidden from my view, or i've seen some but i can't remember. and then there was a few times where a bunch of people grabbed me and called me a killer. they even tried to hit me a few times! the last part of the dream was me sitting alone in some kind of room with some people which i think was police officers.
at that time, i was so down that i was speechless. it was such a terrible feeling!!! even my best friends don't believe me. it was...unimagineable.
on a side note, my mom has become so high tech. she got herself a nokia 6260 and now she's change it to nokia 7610. and she even got herself a wireless bluetooth headset! the best part is, she got me one too! that's so cool!

i figured my blog contains mostly my whining and complaints. who cares anyway. i'm not hiding my displeasure here when i'm already keeping it silent in front of so many other people. it's just that i felt that i don't have to tell each and everyone who i'm having issues with. notice that i seldom mention names when i complained.
ok now for another complaint.
don't you just hate it when people use the word "sorry" without any weight? i mean, they said it so easily out of their mouth just to wipe of any feeling of guilt off their mind. they think a simply sorry can settle everything. worst still, there are people who kept repeating the same mistake, either on purpose or not, i don't know. i personally know a few people like that, and it gets on my nerves all the time. so the best solution for me is to avoid that person. saves me from getting angry all the time. i'd rather spend time wasting my life away.
edit: just as i finished posting this entry, i came across this website from jeffooi.com. the website contains photos of americans saying sorry to the rest of the world in response to bush's presidential election victory. go to www.sorryeverybody.com.

perhaps it's the university i'm in. i just realize that i've been surrounded by so many young adults who still act like kindergarten kids. i find it hard to understand them, let alone mix around with them. these people think that whenever there's a problem, it's not their fault. every single thing is anyone's fault but theirs. and the best thing they do is to talk about how bad a person is to them, without looking at themselves in the mirror.
i can't stand people who don't know how to admit their own mistakes. when the hell are they going to learn if not now? they think the world is only about them. and when you tell them off, they refuse to talk to you any further. looks like kindergarten kids to me.

2 days ago, someone added me in friendster. it turns out that she's my classmate from kindergarten! i have forgotten all my classmates in kindergarten, save for a few guys from other class. and then there's this girl where i used to be close to, who went to study form 6 in my secondary school. she doesn't seem to remember me though.
ok, back to this friendster girl. even after knowing her name as wen chen, it still doesn't ring a bell. she told me that she remembered me because my name was somewhat special and the fact that she had a nickname for me back then. she even told me that we use to play together and was quite close. damn, where are all my kindergarten memories? i seem to remember close to nothing!
anyway, now that i have her contacts, i plan to meet up with her and maybe relive those childhood memories. ah...the good old days.

so this guy wanted to borrow money from his friends to start a business. if he can do that, anyone can do that. if it's that easy to set up a business, the unemployment rate is malaysia would take a dive. and yet he never promise any benefit for those who borrowed from him. those who lent him the money are investors, and they have the right to get some of his profits. he is taking the risk using other people's money! my honest opinion is that he should just get a loan. it's a different case if owed people money because he lost it in a failed business venture. i don't know. i know i'm not gonna lend money to people like him.
and i wondered how he got my phone number...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHING YIN!
my surprise worked! ching yin was surprised and happy, to say the least. this is what happened:
2 weeks before her birthday, me, my cousin lim teck, zhenjian and ah ooi planned to kidnap her on her birthday and then bring her out somewhere to celebrate her birthday. the original plan was to ask her there and then so that she would have no idea at all. but in the end, we were afraid that she might already have plans, so zhenjian decided to ask her out on a personal date, just the two of them, so that she will reserved the time for us. zhenjian failed, so i gave it a try. i tricked her and said i would bring her out on a date, just the two of us. this time, it worked. she believed it completely. the plan was for the 3 of them to go to amigo first, and then i'll arrive with her, make a surprised look and said "you guys are here too?". but then the plan was altered again. i was chatting with ching yin a few days before her birthday and i asked her to decide the place for our "date". she jokingly said beizhan restaurant and i thought, well, that's do-able. so another round of discussion and beizhan was it. actually there's another reason why we chose that place, but it's not important. too bad ah ooi wasn't able to join in the end.
the time came, and i went to fetch her. lim teck asked me to reconsider beizhan because her mom said it would be freaking expensive. then later he said he'll go to the place to check out the prices and if there's any change of plans he will inform me. i'll just have to wait for his misscall when he reach and then plan is on.
ching yin had no idea where we were going, or that we are not celebrating alone. i parked my car behind beizhan so that i won't raise her suspicion. and then she got the surprise. it was obvious that she was happy, she was smiling all night long! well, we are glad that she's happy too!

i got a call recently from someone whom i have not heard for a long time, though i'm not really close to him. nor do i know him well enough to call him a friend of mine. more like an acquaintance. he told me who he was and the purpose of him calling me: he wants to borrow money. and that's when things got interesting.
at first i thought he was having an emergency like he was involve in an accident or in dire need of money to pay for medical expenses, so i asked him how much he needs and he replied how much can i lend him. i said i only have a few hundred because i just bought a new handphone using like 90% of my personal savings. without missing a beat he asked for RM1,000. at this point i wondered if he listened to my earlier sentence. i repeated it and he said he wants RM500. now, i start to suspect something.
so i asked him what's the money for. he said he needs RM30,000 to start a business by the end of the month or else he stand to lose RM7,000 in profit. i was like, huh? he added that he's in desperate mode and he have been asking most of his friends for money. so i told him the most i can give is RM200. from the tone of his voice, he sound disappointed at the small amount, so he refused and hung up.
i thought that's the last i've heard from him, but i was WRONG. he called a few days later and told me he's in melaka. again he asked for the same amount and again i said i don't have it. he still refused the amount i offered, and then he said something that really really pissed me off. he asked me, "DO YOU MIND IF I GO OVER TO YOUR HOUSE AND ASK FROM YOUR PARENTS?". That particular questions ticked me off. straight away i told him that i won't mind but my parents would. then he hung up.

this is the first time i'm blogging from a lab in my campus. by the way, a tutorial session is going on, which i'm not paying attention. i haven't slept for the past 20 hours. that explains why i'm able to attend my systems reliability class at 8am, for the first time this trimester! even my friends were shocked to see me in class...
this was something which should be included in the 15th october post, but i forgot. i went to play golf during that evening, my second time playing. the first time was disaster, and you thought golf looks easy to play on tv. it's not! my cousin taught me how to swing the golf club, and yet it's so bloody hard to get it right. a few swings later, i was feeling more confident the second time around. i fared much much better, but i got a sore hand after that. worse still, it lasted for 2 days...
that night, we (ee lin and eileen) were supposed to surprise lai ching with a celebration at her house, but then again, i knew she knew we were up to something. i wasn't part of the surprise though, because i was late. typical of me, huh? anyway, they sang the birthday song without me... =( i only managed to eat the cake and watch her unwrap her presents. bah, she easily guessed what the present was because of the strong, nice smell. it was tommy hilfiger's latest perfume, true star (damn, almost typed porn star instead). instantly, she knew it was my idea, though 9 of us shared. there can be no one else, because she only mentioned it to me. originally, i planned to get her something else... *wink* at least we got her something which she can use and like, rather than getting her something to collect dust. now she can start charming all the guys by spraying the perfume...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAI CHING!
she's always bugging me to update, so i must type something on her birthday la..2 days ago i received a forwarded sms. the originating number looks familiar to me but i can't remember who. so i thought maybe i deleted the number to save some space in my phonebook. subsequently i sent a sms to say thanks and asked who it was. the person replied that she (i found out later it's a she) simply pressed a number and got me, and wanted to be my sms friend. i agreed but i was a little sceptical about her claim that she simply entered a number to send a sms and got mine. a few more sms later i got to know that she's also a malaccan like me. i kept asking for her real name but she refused to tell, and yet she never asked for mine. so i suspected that it was someone i knew who is playing a prank on me. for now i'll just play along...
anyway, it's fun having a camera phone with mms capabilities. i can just snap a photo anytime and send it to a friend. a picture says a thousand words, and that person can see what i'm doing at that particular moment. last week i purposely went to a cake shop and snap a photo of a fruit cake and sent it to liang liang, who celebrated her birthday in penang. i told her that since i can't be in penang to celebrate with her i'll just send her a picture of a nice cake. she was happy to receive it nevertheless, but i guess my phone bill will be significantly more this month with all the mms costing RM0.50 per message...

people have been complaining to me for not updating my blog. hehe..i just lost the motivation to blog. i wonder why. probably because the person who got me into the blogging business doesn't blog anymore. (hint: wiyang)
new sem, still the same old me. it's already week 3 and i've been skipping a hell lot of lectures and tutorials. yes, tutorials. i used to have the mentality that i can skip lectures but i will never skip a tutorial. but now, bleh. i don't feel like attending any classes still.
i have sleepless night for the past few weeks. something has been bothering me for quite sometime and i never seem to get over it as soon as i wanted to. it affects my eating habit as well, i just don't have the appetite although i know i need to eat something or else i'll end up in the hospital because of gastric. it's really suffering for not being able to sleep properly. i'll just wake up in the middle of my sleep, heart beating profusely and the mood is like...how should i describe it.. it's like i have something very very urgent that needs to be done at that time. hopefully i can get over this soon and sleep well.
i dont know if this is related but the other day i went to watch resident evil : apocalypse and that very night i have dream which is similar to the movie. i don't know if this can be classified as nightmare as i woke up with cold sweat. the dream was about someone getting killed right in front of my very eyes, brutally. in the movie there's this creature called nemesis which uses a gattling gun (something like a machine gun but much more powerful) to kill. in my dream, there's this guy who was standing (or sitting, can't remember clearly) just centimetres from me, and he was killed using the very same gun. the most vivid scene i can remember is the part where his head got blown away and his brains were splattered all over the place. funny dream eh? all my life i think this is the worst nightmare i ever had. i was so disturbed by that dream that i didn't move much after waking up. no more beheading videos for now.
perhaps it has something to do with the thing which was bothering my mind. i was too tensed up? maybe.
last saturday was my god sister's wedding dinner. she was stunning in her wedding dress. i felt so happy for her because she finally found the man of her dreams. at the dinner, i met many friends who used to train with me in taekwon-do. the funny thing is, all of them said the same thing. "you were so small at that time, now you're all big and tall. it makes us feel so old". yeah i was rather petite at that time. nobody even believed i was a black belter then. well in a way, they remembered. i miss those times when each and everyone of them were very nice to me. i felt so pampered whenever i'm around them. those are some of the happier times i had in my life. the only regret i have is that i never took much photo during my training days. all those memories...
someone said to me yesterday that she can sense that i am a very sensitive person, albeit only knowing me for, like, a week. i did not deny the fact that i'm overly sensitive at times. but what i didn't realize was the fact that i'm putting some sort of pressure on the people around me. maybe this explains why i couldn't stick to a group of friends for too long. i know that i need to change, but i just don't know the way. i might need someone to guide me, but i haven't found that person, yet....

i have a lot of thought going through my mind everyday, and it's just that i don't feel comfortable blogging about it. heck i don't even talk about it to my friends most of the time. that explains why i have not been blogging for so long. or maybe i just suck at putting thoughts into words.
i have been very moody for the past 2 weeks. i can't seem to find the reason. perhaps it's something someone said to me. that person made me realize that i've been making a lot of stupid choices in my life. and being me, i stand by my decision and suffered in the end. oh well, this way, i have no one else to blame except for myself.
i guess most people know that i totally despise kiasu people. i just can't stand talking to them or being near them. they won't admit their mistake and would just beat around the bush to win. and then they go on and on telling people how they won and take pride in it. speaking of which, some people just love to take all the credit and get all the attention.
and i just hate people who contradicts their words with actions. i mean, it's like you are having multiple personalities. i admit that i've done that before, but i have since tried hard not to. maybe having friends like this will make you realize some of your own mistakes and correct it. still, i would intentionally avoid a person when i can't stand them. or else i would have exploded.
it's just so hard not being able to show your true emotions.

richie jen's concert was better than i expected! it was my first time attending a concert as well and it was worth going up to genting with lay wei, ching yin and chin chin to watch it. it was a strong performance and he really knows how to entertain the audience with his antics. angelica lee sin jie was there as well as his guest singer and we even caught a glimpse of brigitte lin who went to support her friend richie.
overall i totally enjoyed myself there even though i didn't have enough sleep for 2 days. i wonder when is the next time i'll attend a concert again...

i don't get it. i have friends who are 20 years old and they still act as though they are still in primary school. they have this mindset that they OWN their friends. they get jealous when their friend got close to others. and they blame it on the other person without looking at the mirror first. and then the nonsense continues. everything is related to that other person. and it doesn't come directly, it's usually hints like " went out WHO?" or "talking to you-know-who on the phone?". it's worse if it's between two opposite sex. rumours start flying everywhere, tarnishing the persons involved's image. sometimes, they will even tell the whole world about it.
who i am close to or whether or not i'm attached is none of your business. if you want to know anything, JUST ASK THE DAMN QUESTION! i'm not obligated to tell you everything and it's at my sole discretion whether or not i answer you truthfully.
i thought i'll never hear these kind of thing after secondary school, guess i was wrong.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAY WEI!
it was a short trip to kl together with alisa, lai ching and rita but nevertheless it was enjoyable yet relaxing. we went there on wednesday and came back today (friday). alisa wanted to see her boyfriend shien long, rita wanted to go back to cyberjaya then meet up with her bf, i wanted to buy a birthday present and lai ching is our driver! hehe... (don't kill me ya, lai ching?) still, we did our part by talking to her during on the way to kl. the topic of our conversation was "hot" and some of us had to chill for a while... meanwhile, rita got scared of me because of something i did to her *wink* and it's funny to see her behave when i asked her to. although i've been to kl countless times but like they say it's a different experience when you go on a trip with someone else. this time, there wasn't much waiting for someone to get ready and decisions were made rather quickly. what i want to say is sometimes it's really frustrating that time is wasted to decide what to eat, especially when everyone's hungry. for example when one person suggests a place to eat then another person complain about the price being expensive, the food not nice, atmosphere not nice..you get the idea. we can actually save that time and use it to walk around, window shopping.
speaking about food, lai ching told us about seed cafe when we were looking for a place to eat at one utama on the last day of the trip. the food is expensive but we don't really mind since it's once in a blue moon. furthermore, where can you find this kind of cafe in melaka? since we're there we might as well try something new. anyway, the menu is really interesting. i ordered a vietnam style beef noodle which is not really special but it's served with a nice tray. as for lai ching, she ordered a chee cheong fun with minced chicken. we were curious at first because the menu stated something about "hard work" and "interactive eating". when the food came, it hit us. she was supposed to wrap the chee cheong fun into something like wanton, herself! now that's interactive eating for you! alisa ate pasta with tomato sauce while shien long ordered a beef sausage which looks obscene, according to alisa. here are the pictures, although a bit blurry :-

the first day was spent at sunway pyramid where we had a nice dinner with shien chuin (shien long's other twin) and lai leng (lai ching's sister). that night we were unable to sleep well because it was freaking hot! as a result we woke up the next day and went to mid valley megamall with panda eyes. i bought my present there and we even had time to catch a movie. that basically summarizes our short trip. and did i mention we drink a lot of coffee while we were in kl? not to forget some beer too...

it was a fun outing yesterday. i was having a blast! i don't remmeber the last time i laughed this much. anyway, i went to sin yi's sister's wedding dinner last night with lai ching. actually, i was representing my dad and he asked me to bring someone along as there was another invitation. he was going to genting to watch lobo in concert with his friend.
i was surprised when i heard that his sister is getting married. i mean, she's still young and is just starting to build a career. yet, seeing them on stage smiling happily all the way made feel like getting married also. the problem is finding the right partner and having loads of cash. i don't know how to describe that feeling but it's very heart warming when the screen a short video biography of the bride and bridegroom.
after the dinner, we met up with ee lin, thye shin, ah wei and eileen at ee lin's rented house. we played a couple of rounds of need for speed:underground drinking teh tariks i bought earlier. and then one by one started to leave, leaving me and lai ching talking to ee lin in her room. we talked about lots of stuff and the last hour of talking was the highlight. i was shedding tears! no, not crying but actually laughing my ass off! we finally left at 6am and went for dim sum before i sent lai ching home.

some people just don't know how to appreciate the things they have or own. perhaps it was influenced by their family background, but i was getting annoyed by friends who constantly whine about petty little things. and some people became jealous of me just because i have something new or just that little bit lucky. they just don't understand that i don't always have the luck all the time. sometimes, i need to work or sacrifice something in order to get the things i want. i rarely ask money from my parents or sister to buy things. some people aren't born with golden spoon.
another thing is, i get annoyed when people who are old enough to think for themselves doesn't know how to act accordingly. they just think that they are still their parents' cute little baby and sulk all they want. they get angry easily when things don't go their way.
on another note, the number one thing that turns off guys is girl that act cute although they are NOT. it doesn't matter what age they are but the older they are, the worse. instead of being cute, they are making a mockery of themselves. these people will scare off their friends and if you think that being cute can help you get lucky with the guys of your dreams, DREAM ON!

i got myself a temporary tattoo today! actually, i've always wanted a permanent one since i saw john boy's (an ex-hitz.fm dj) tattoo. the reasons that stopped me from getting one is because i'm scared of the pain and also the risks involved (read: mercury poisoning). but then again, who knows? i might change my mind in the future.
here's the picture of my tattoo:-

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIN YI!
i was having my hair cut today when i heard a blow horn sound outside the barber shop. and then the barber exclaimed, "is the guy selling putu mayam?". i looked and saw the guy pushing his bicycle with some sort of aluminium tong on it. suddenly it reminds me of my childhood days when i often eat putu mayam. nowadays it's so hard to find people selling it and i was quite happy to see that guy. even the barber told me that he really liked eating it since he was young. he said when he was still living in his kampung he used to eat it very often. since he came to the city he doesn't know where to buy it. so both of us went out to buy it and the barber even told the indian guy to stop at his shop everytime he's there.
actually, i don't know how to explain what a putu mayam is. it's something you eat with coconut and brown sugar. some say it's also nice to eat with curry. i hope to see more of that guy soon...
anyway, it looks like this:
childhood days are so sweet...

the past 2 weeks were interesting. the new trimester started, and i still can't view my grades as i failed my maths. i need to sit for the supplementary paper which i hope i can pass.
i've been a good boy as well. i didn't miss any class so far. hehehe... but there's a reason to it. my car was sent to be repainted and i had to follow either my dad's or thye shin's to go to campus or to go home.

this year's birthday was the best i've had in recent years! i got quite a number of presents, and i got to cut 2 cakes!
it started with a phone call from wiyang all the way from germany. couldn't talk longer with him cos i was heading out for a celebration at 12 something am at emerald park. those who were present were lay wei, ching yin, chin chin, chee hui, siew eng, liyen, sau heung, roger, kea loon, zhenjian and weehow. a funny thing happened earlier though. while collecting the cake from the shop, they forgot to ask for candles and a plastic knife. even the shop assistant forgot! so i almost ended up with no candles to blow. luckily liyen managed to buy some candles and we used a steel knife instead.
in the evening i went to the it fair in my campus and bought myself an edifier R401 speakers. thye shin bought an altec lansing vs4121 whereas my cousin lim teck bought a sonic gear blue thunder 2. they weren't much stuff worth buying there because there wasn't any significant price reduction.
the night was spent with lai ching, thye shin, eileen, ee lin, diana, gek suan and jin yew. we had dinner at page one cafe before heading to gula melaka restaurant for a small celebration.
thanks to everyone for making me happy!

SHE was here in melaka again and the four of us (lay wei, ching yin, chin chin and me) went for it. this time it was held at a’famosa resort’s water world and ella was here! also, they were here to promote their latest album as well as signing autographs.
before going to the resort, the girls asked me to stop at a cake shop, apparently to buy my birthday cake. i felt both funny and happy because it seems as though i'm buying my own cake. anyway, they are the ones who chose the cake. they wanted me to choose at first, but i declined and they bought a sesame seed cake in the end.
so off we went to the resort and when we arrived, there were already so many fans in the wave pool, where the stage is just above it. we didn't know that we can actually use all the facilities there since we were given free entrance to the water park. if we knew then we might be bringing extra clothes and take a dip in the pool.
selina, hebe and ella arrived on time to start signing autographs. we lined up for, like, an hour or so before we got our cd inlay signed. it was a nice experience to see them in the flesh from so near. ella was the most sporting one, and even shook our hands. too bad chin chin never got to go on stage because one of the cd inlays were missing. we stayed for a while to watch them perform a few songs and played some games with a few lucky fans, before heading to mahkota parade to loaf around...

things never seem to go right for me for the whole duration of my trimester break.
GIMME ME A (REAL) BREAK!
drove to genting highlands to send my brothers back and then stayed for 2 nights there with gek suan, huwi yin and jin yew. had so much fun with my 2 pet sis, especially the part where i disturb/bully huwi yin to the point that the injury i picked up at redang island recurred. had some problems with the payment of our hotel rooms and i'm still working on to settle it. i brought gek suan into the casino for a so-called-tour while jin yew and huwi yin waited outside. jin yew did try his luck to enter by persuading the guard since his 21st birthday was just months away, but failed. both of them had a chance when a large group of chinese tourists enter the casino while the guard was busy attending to an indian couple (talk about racial harmony in a sentence!). they could've just sneak in without the guard noticing, but they decided otherwise. futhermore, we were on our way to dinner! anyway, gek suan first entry to the casino cleared her doubts about something. apparently, she heard rumours about people throwing candies under the table to feed "those" things, but in fact, only the wrappers are found.
while in the casino, i got to see my brothers at work. somehow, it made my heart sank. i mean, they had to enter the job market at such an early age and their future seems bleak. i really don't know what other options are available for them with their spm results. i was never close to my brothers but i do care for them, albeit not obvious. ask my close friends, and they will tell you that i don't seem to give a damn about my brothers. even the way we talk with each other was like 2 friends fighting. things got a little bit better since they started working, perhaps they started to view things differently and gotten more sense of responsibility.
the 2nd day of the trip coincide with the release of my exam results. i asked ching yin to check for me, since she offered, though at first i wanted to check it on my own on my return to melaka. i knew beforehand that i was going to fail one of my subjects, so it didn't came as a surprise to me when her sms confirmed it. nor did the news spoil my mood for the day. i probably won't be seeing mischievous huwi yin for a further four months after the trip so i might as well savour the moment. gonna miss her soon...
on another note, i'm getting frustrated at waiting for my new computer to arrive. it's been 2 months, and the vendor keeps delaying it. besides, it wasn't my idea to purchase from this particular vendor, he's a friend of my dad. wiyang was right, the disadvantage of buying stuff from a close friend is that you can't really scold them for fear of hurting their feelings. it might be different if he's my friend though. i might have threaten to cancel the order, when it's ready to be delivered. just to serve him a lesson. *evil grin* then again, i might not be that evil. it's seriously getting on my nerves. we'll see what happens when he delivers it this coming monday, or so he promised.

caught up with a lot of friends from secondary school these few days. cheng kiat and ganesh asked me out to watch starsky and hutch (damn hilarious) on friday and we had a nice talk at the mamak after that. cheng kiat has already graduated from uniten and got a job. he will start work in may and he said he's most probably working in ernst and young. meanwhile, ganesh still has one more semester to go before he's out from uniten as well. i felt happy for both of them, although it probably means that the previous talks of going on a trip somewhere together with edmund, affryll, etc. will never materialize.
anyway, yesterday was yoke theng's birthday and we (siow thien, fong fang, li wei, woon chin, jing keong) celebrated with her at greenworld cafe. i didn't want to go at first because i was quite tired and i'm lazy to drive. however, jun kee called me earlier and said she is going there later so she wanted to meet up. plus, i seldom get to see her and yoke theng's gang so i went.
i couldn't quite keep up with what they were talking so i just watched football on tv while waiting for woon chin to arrive. and then it was cake time! it was a blueberry cheese cake from secret recipe and boy it was nice! didn't ask for a second piece though cos i was full.
later, i meet up with jun kee at greenworld bistro which is just next door. i saw yu hwan and her friends just outside it but ignored them for a while, because i wasn't sure it was her. i went in with jun kee and it was when yu hwan called me on my phone that i was sure it was her outside. i went out and talked to her and went in again with her. basically i was here and there between jun kee and yu hwan's gang.
i wasn't very keen on clubbing, but yesterday was different. i don't know but of all the times i went clubbing, yesterday was the time that i'm really sure that i'm enjoying it, albeit a little. the songs were nice and the dj was ok. i wanted to leave at 1am but when i met yoke theng's gang again outside. there were going in and i tagged along. her friend bought me a bottle of heineken. not a fan of alcoholics drinks but i feel guilty if i didn't accept. the dj continued to play some great songs and made the crowd high. i know i was! i was having a great time!

do i look like someone who won't get angry?
i asked this question to a friend, and he said "quite". reason was that, as long as he knew me, he hasn't seen me lose my cool once.
i don't like being angry, and i don't know what hell will break lose if i do get pissed. yet, some people are starting to get on my nerves. they are subconciously telling me to release the evil in me. they are tempting me, i tell you.
first off, they are not satisfied or maybe, they hated my guts. they hated everything about me, and yet they have no freaking guts to tell it to my face. they tell so and so about me doing this and that and me not doing this and that, and most of the time accuse/assume things that i didn't do, without giving me a chance to explain. and after that, they said it's nothing and they will forget about the whole thing the next day.
read this : FORGET MY ASS!
if you did thought about it, there's no chance in hell that you are going to forget it. sorry, dudes. there ain't no controlable delete function in your pea sized brains.
for those who want to see what i would do if i get angry, get this :
TRY ME.

not so enjoyable, but definitely memorable.
that sentence basically summarized my redang island trip. i kind of expected it to turn out that way after all that happened for the past few weeks before the trip. i was having doubts about going but i made a promise to someone and i don't want to break it. furthermore, i was the one making all the bookings and the others had no clue whatsoever. for the record, those who went are lay wei, chin chin, liang liang, sheue mey, hui yen, chee hui, wee how, zhenjian, kea loon and me.
day 1 - disaster!
nevertheless, i was excited when we finally reach the island. i had no idea that the boat ride would take an hour and a half! almost throw up in the boat. good thing i slept for a while. after checking in, i went out alone to check out the beach. my thought was, since i already paid for it and i'm here, why not just forget about everything and let myself off for a few days? after all, my final exams were terrible and i really need to relax before i study again for my supplementary paper. *sigh*
just when i thought everything will be ok, it was not! one of the guys (there were 10 of us, 4 guys and 6 girls) came and told me some unpleasant things about the project i've worked on previously. suffice to say that what i heard killed off my mood instantly. it took me a while and some walk along the beach to cool down before taking my lunch.
after lunch it was snorkeling time! wee how and hui yen decided not to go because hui yen was having her period (bad timing) and wee how stayed back to accompany her. those who went were taken to the marine park by boat and the process of getting on the boat was hilarious. because the water was to shallow, the boat can't stop too near to the beach. so we had to swim a bit to get on it. no one briefed us about this and most of us had no idea how to put the life jacket on properly. i managed to figure out the correct way but i don't understand the use of the strap which goes in between our legs and just left it loosely clipped. off to the water we went and it hit me. the strap was supposed to keep the life jacket on our abdomens. you see, when we get into the water, the life jacket will float and our heads and body will sink. the bad thing about the strap is that you'll get a sore groin. imagine jumping into the water from the boat and ...you get the idea. i'll explain about this bit a little later. anyway, since most of don't know how to swim, we struggled a bit to get on the boat. once we got on the boat, the first thing we did was to tighten up the strap as we already know the purpose.
i thought the marine park was in the middle of the sea, but it's not. it was just a small area off the coast of a small island. we were briefed about the do's and don'ts and was given one hour to snorkel. i had no prior experience in snorkeling, so it took a while for me to get used to it. i don't really know how to swim either, but i had knowledge in breast stroke. i can't thread on water nor swim without some floating aid, so i was a bit reluctant to go to deep waters in the beginning. still, i tried practising my so called swimming skill and managed to navigate around. feeling confident, i even brought lay wei around since she doesn't know how to swim at all. although the one hour period was short, it was enough to make me feel exhausted from all the swimming around. in addition, my mood was lifted a little...
and then came the bad luck. i was sitting idle on the boat, waiting for everyone else to get on. the boat started moving shortly after, and suddenly, one big piece of plank fell down from nowhere and hit me on my nose and right arm. it caused a noticeably deep wound on my nose and the back of my right hand and i was bleeding from it. a small area of my right arm got swollen as well. i can't bend my right arm either because it's painful. i was suspecting some internal injuries but i didn't really see a doctor (there is no clinic there). some other guys and girls on the boat looked at me one kind. perhaps feeling sorry for me? anyway i think the plank hit another guy but he didn't suffer any injury. that being said, then next thing on my mind was, how am i supposed to get down from the boat? sea water and open wound don't go along well, right?
upon reaching, i realised that i had no other choice. i just have to bear with the pain. i couldn't use the ladder to slowly go into the water (we had to swim to the shore) because i can't use my right hand. the most obvious decision was to jump into the water, and i did, totally forgetting about the strap in between my legs. conclusion : pain in between the legs, nose wound and hand wound. not forgetting i swallowed some sea water as well. also, i became an instant celebrity because i overheard some people who saw the incident spreading the news around, and people were looking at the blood on my nose.
now don't get me started on the bathing part...
the rest of the day wasn't so interesting. after dinner i went to take a nap because i had a small headache. the others went to look for blue sand and then went to a open air pub a little bit later in the night, without the courtesy to ask me along. what they said (which i came to know after the trip) really baffled me. the guys said that they assumed that i wanted to rest so they didn't bother to call me. i was like, is that a valid reason? another version was that they didn't know where i was, which was really a stupid reason, because i took the key from them and told them i wanted to take a nap. what about handphones then? a call would've easily located me. luckily, siew eng (my coursemate who also went holidaying at redang island, but not with us) mistakenly called me and woke me up. i can't sleep anymore, so i called them to ask for their location and joined them. oh yeah, i forgot to mention that we got to know a snorkeling guide there and he's really friendly. he intro himself as ah kiat and he brought us around and even treated us drinks. but we felt sorry for him because when he paid for our drinks he accidentally dropped his money and lost it. RM250 that he got from his salary earlier that day...
p/s: saw 2 meteors that night...
day 2 - so-so..
nothing much to write about today because we played separately.
ah kiat wanted to bring us to watch some turtle early in the morning, but most of them are lazy to go because it's early in the morning. only liang liang, chin chin, sheue mey and i went though we never saw any. that was also the last time i went snorkel during the whole trip because the pain became unbearable once i touch sea water.
all of them went snorkeling again in the afternoon except hui yen, lay wei and me. the 3 of us walked along the beach and snapped a lot of photos as well. unfortunately, most of the photos turned out...uh...not that nice.
we wanted to ride the banana boat in the evening but we were too late as it was fully booked for the day. T_T
after dinner we went to get some souvenirs and then we went to a disco in laguna beach resort. the disco was nice, but the dj sucked big time.
the night was spent watching stars and enjoying the cool sea breeze and the sounds of the waves. some of us didnt sleep for the whole night, me included, waiting to watch the sunrise which was bee-you-tee-fool!
day 3 - i'll be back...
after breakfast, liang liang, chin chin and sheue mey went to take more pictures since they accidentally deleted the earlier pictures. hui yen and lay wei joined them later while the guys, except wee how, slept. a funny thing happened today though.
we had a double decker bed in the room and i slept on top. i usually leave my sweater there when i go out and after breakfast, i went into the room and climbed on top to sleep again. zhenjian was already sleeping below me. i was in the process of wearing my jacket when a cockroach crawled out of my jacket! i told zhenjian and he totally freaked out and jumped out of bed! we tried to lure the cockroach out and maybe kill it so that it won't disturb our sleep, but to no avail. in the end we slept on the extra bed on the floor.
over at the girls' room (we had 2 rooms, one for guys and another for girls) they were panicking because one of the snorkeling goggles was missing. they searched the whole room and they still couldn't find it, which only mean one thing, they have to pay the RM80 for lost goggles. we didn't pay in the end, because ah kiat secretly told me he took the goggles away when the girls were not looking after it. he wanted to teach them a lesson because he already told us on the first day of arrival that we shouldn't leave our goggles and life jacket lying around. he asked me to lie to them that i forked out the money to pay for the fine and i did! i only revealed the truth to the other guys and later told everyone about it when we reached melaka.
after checking out, we took our lunch and snapped some last minute photos before heading to the boat for our journey back to melaka...
after thoughts...
i will return to redang island in the future, maybe with other friends, and make sure i play every single thing and go on every snorkeling trip. i was a little disappointed with this trip, but like i said in the beginning, it was memorable. i had some happy moments there, and also some unhappy ones. plus, i gained a slightly darker skin, 2 wound, sore arms and legs and experience!
that sentence basically summarized my redang island trip. i kind of expected it to turn out that way after all that happened for the past few weeks before the trip. i was having doubts about going but i made a promise to someone and i don't want to break it. furthermore, i was the one making all the bookings and the others had no clue whatsoever. for the record, those who went are lay wei, chin chin, liang liang, sheue mey, hui yen, chee hui, wee how, zhenjian, kea loon and me.
day 1 - disaster!
nevertheless, i was excited when we finally reach the island. i had no idea that the boat ride would take an hour and a half! almost throw up in the boat. good thing i slept for a while. after checking in, i went out alone to check out the beach. my thought was, since i already paid for it and i'm here, why not just forget about everything and let myself off for a few days? after all, my final exams were terrible and i really need to relax before i study again for my supplementary paper. *sigh*
just when i thought everything will be ok, it was not! one of the guys (there were 10 of us, 4 guys and 6 girls) came and told me some unpleasant things about the project i've worked on previously. suffice to say that what i heard killed off my mood instantly. it took me a while and some walk along the beach to cool down before taking my lunch.

it was the first general election where i was eligible to vote. images of people queueing outside classrooms under the hot sun, waiting for their turn to mark a cross on their ballot papers and choose their future representatives, played through my mind over and over again. since this is my first time voting, i have no idea what the procedures are and how long do i have to queue before it's my turn. i decided to go to the voting centre with my sis around noon because i was thinking that people might be having lunch during that time and the wait would be short. futhermore, i want to be home by 3pm to be able to watch the formula 1 race live on tv. it was somewhat a right decision because the whole process took me about 10 minutes. a friend told me later that the line was long in the morning. i was kind of excited being a first time voter, but it died out very soon. anyway, it's nice to see so many people coming out to exercise their rights. made me feel like an adult, although i'm trying to deny it. *sniggers*

i've been having weird dreams these past few days and it's ok if they are sweet but it turned out to be nightmares! i got it even when i'm napping in the afternoon. they were so real that when i woke up i still have that sort of bad mood carried over from dream to reality. maybe because there were many things going through my mind now. i was (and still am) full of rage that whatever that comes out of my mouth would be...err...not so pleasant.
i'm like a ticking bomb and i really don't know when i'll explode...

i have the tendency to hate myself after someone points out my mistakes, instead of hating that particular person. yet i'm a stubborn person when i'm quite sure i did nothing wrong. i can't please everyone and i'm getting really tired when people started telling me what to do or what not to do or how to do it so as to not piss people off. i have my own life damn it and if you guys are going to dictate what i can do or cannot do then please stay away from me.

so the emina cosplay competition finally came and went. it was way better than the first cosplay event (which in my opinion was really a rush job, no offence, but it was that bad). there's still a lot of improvements to be made, if there will be another one in the future. this time however, there were more audiences but not much could be said about the people who competed in the cosplay competition. maybe mmu students are too shy, or maybe they are not exposed to cosplay yet. and the crowd was so DEAD. i don't deny that there wasn't much interesting things to watch during the event but when i, as a mc tried to interact with the audiences, i was given cold shoulders. i mean...come on, even a good mc won't be able to make the event an interesting one if the crowd is mute!
speaking on mc-ing, yup, yours truly was the mc along with alisa. it was my first time being a mc since studying at mmu. i've tried mc-ing a couple of times during secondary school, but still i'm afraid i won't be able to perform well. some of my friends who attended the event said my voice was not strong enough. i don't think i performed well during the event either. nevertheless, alisa was a great partner! oh yeah, both of us got into the cosplay spirit as well! she dressed up as utena from the anime revolutionary girl utena while i cosplayed as ebisu sensei from the anime naruto. some said i looked weird in that costume, while some said i was exactly like that character. i only decided to cosplay the night before the actual event and was quite satisfied with the result. felt like a superstar when there were so many people asking to take pictures of/with me. those camera flashes.... *grins*
a tiring but quite enjoyable day...

been quite long since i last posted huh?
what a hectic month after the chinese new year holidays! i was bombarded with unpleasant news, tons of midterm exams (which i sucked big time) and a hell lot of misundertandings! i was almost on the verge of breaking down completely before some events managed to pull me back together. seriously i'm getting very tired and freaking exhausted after all these. this is my worst trimester ever since starting my degree program at mmu. it got to a point where i refused to study for my tests which lead me to fail most of my midterm papers.
after all these happenings, i'm beginning to doubt whether i will enjoy myself on my trip to redang this coming april...
on the other hand, there are a few people who has helped me to build my confidence back, albeit little by little. they pestered me to study with them in the library, which is so unlike me. i never liked going to library to study because i'm sure i will be distracted by people walking around. i have a very strong sense of curiousity, that's why. some people are actually surprised to see me in the library with books/notes on my table. haha...

an honest friendship, when it is broken, it takes a long time to fix it back. even if it is fixed, there are bound to be some scar. i admit that i will treat that person with a little bit of prejudice. and since my trust for him/her was shattered, i can never trust him/her as much as it first started.
on an unrelated incident, i was quite pissed at something that happened last night. i was at pasar borong drinking iced milo when i got a weird sms from eileen. i thought she mistakenly sent it to me so i called back and asked. i got even more confused when she started telling me even weirder things, things such as chatting on yahoo messenger when i didn't even chat with anyone yesterday using that particular IM client. i was like, what the heck is happening?
now, don't get me wrong here, i wasn't angry at eileen.
it turns out that someone registered a new yahoo account and chatted with thye shin and eileen. that person claimed that he is howzan using a different nick. apparently, he managed to annoy both of them and all the while they believed it was me! i was quite angry nevertheless and if i ever find out who that person is, s/he might get a surprise from me. i only hope that they believe all that crap was not from me, because it really wasn't! *sigh*

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
it started with a stupid lab test cancelation. i only knew about it when i was a few metres from reaching the campus. all that petrol for nothing. the worst thing is i have to drag myself from the bed because i only had 3-4 hours of sleep the night before. then again, i pity thye shin because he had to drive further.
fast forward to evening (the whole afternoon was spent dreaming) me, lay wei, ching yin, chee hui and zhi yang went for dinner at gula melaka restaurant before catching a movie at 7pm. did a little window shopping after the movie and then we went to sit tea house to spend the last few hours of valentine's day there, chatting and laughing around. although there wasn't much activity to be done, all of us enjoyed the outing. probably because the group is small and everyone had a chance to blend in. i honestly enjoyed myself too... =)

i meant to post this a long time ago but i just didn't find the right mood and time to post.
it's so disappointing when someone you consider a good friend, which you have great respect of, which you speak highly of, suddenly stabs you in the back without you knowing for a whole month. and after realising this, you were supposed to forget about it within 24 hours of knowing everything that ever happened behind your back, and make peace! like what the?
no prize for guessing correctly. it happened to me.
the following days, i started to know more and more developing stories (cis, felt like reporter on cnn), and i slowly got a clearer picture of who he really is. all my previous assumptions of his characteristics are shattered. i was disappointed and hurt beyond words.

although i seem to have many friends, but sometimes i just felt so lonely inside. i know this may sound unfair disrespect to some of them, but i couldn't help it. there are times when i'm completely lost and confused, and there seem to be no one around to guide me through. i believe the problem lies within myself, but i don't know how to rectify it.
i admit that i am quite emotional, and sometimes i let my emotions take control over me. a simple gesture can leave me smiling for days, yet i get upset easily as well, even on things that are totally unrelated to me, none of my business and which i have no control of...

it's the 6th day of lunar new year today. for some reasons, i don't feel excited for lunar new years anymore. nor that i look forward for next year's. no offence to those who can't celebrate it with their families, but it just doesn't appeal to me anymore (other than the ang pow money, which seems to decrease this year). perhaps i'm already a young adult. or that i'm not really that close to my other relatives. or because my sis and brothers are not here for reunion dinner. to me, every year it's the same routine.
the first day of new year, it's the usual houses to visit. at night, we have a form 6 classmates gathering at foong hsian's house. and i thought this was supposed to be the happiest moment for me this new year. it's been quite some time since i last saw some of them anyway. boy i was so wrong. not many of them turned up. and those who came had to leave early. and the mood was...i don't know how to describe. everyone seems to be worried about assignments and the looming exams. the best part only came later at chee hoe's house. kam fei, soon chern and a few others gambled while me and foong hsian watched.
the second day was ok. went to visit yien sien's house with edmund and then the 3 of us went to watch the last samurai. after that me and edmund visited sin yi. later we went to bee yoke house and were surprised to find chi chau, liu chui and fong yin there. kinda happy to see them because it's hard to see them around in melaka. they've changed a lot too. though it's only a short time but it's better than nothing.
the 3rd and 4th day was spent at my grandma's house at bukit tinggi, pahang. nothing much happened there and the rest of the days.
suddenly my flair of wrinting seems to deteriorate over time. i wonder why...

suddenly my flair of wrinting seems to deteriorate over time. i wonder why...

bored of studying for my midterm test, i created a quiz about myself at friendtest.com and asked a couple of friends to take the quiz. after a while, the results started coming in and some of them really surprised me. admittedly, the questions are quite tough being a secretive person that i am. i'm not really disappointed with the results but more of feeling funny at some of the answers. then there was a mysterious person who took the test and only managed to get one question correct. ironically, the question was the one where most of those who took the test got wrong. hmm..guessed that someone tried to get a zero and chose all the wrong answers. anyway, i will publish the real answers here after i close the quiz. the scores don't matter much to me so i won't bother posting it here. =P

wiyang gave me a call all the way from germany just now and we had a nice chat. it's been quite sometime since i talked to him, either on the phone or online. too bad we couldn't chat longer because i was supposed to be at the campus for a discussion (which in the end came to a dead end). i still have some topics to talk to him about, with the occasional teasing. i wonder when is the next time we can talk like there's no tomorrow...add edmund into the picture and i'm damn sure it would be interesting!
into the 13th day of coughing...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2004!
i won't be making any resolutions this year as i know i won't keep it!
so how do i celebrate the first day of 2004? by getting sick.
mee nyuk came down from seremban to celebrate with me and we went to a pub together with some friends to countdown. i don't really celebrate the new year every year because i was always the one to drive and i never got to drink beer! (not that i like to drink though). so after getting all sweaty after the countdown, i gave a call to a few of my friends to wish them a happy new year. by then i was feeling a bit ill and true enough, i woke up this morning with fever, cough and a sore throat. i even joked about contracting the deadly SARS disease because i was in close contact with yoke theng and li wei who just came back from taiwan. touch wood!
so 2003 came and went. during the past year, i've changed a lot and i know that. maybe for the better, or maybe worst. i've gained new experiences, new friends and maybe a few enemies. i got closer to certain people around me and i get to see some people's true faces. i learned to cherish and appreciate some people. acquired 2 god-sisters (gek suan and huwi yin) who never fail to make me smile. been hurt so deep like never before. and i seem to be talking more to my siblings now. and i even rectified some of my known weaknesses! hmm what else? can't possibly remember all..so i'm looking for a great year ahead!
