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.

continued from oct 24th's post...
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....
