Maddie Tales

Congratulations to Dad and Mum

It's a great occasion for us when we went up to Kuantan for a honorable family event. My dad received a Dato title from the sultan of Kuantan along with many others who were present at the Istana as well.

Sis and I stayed in the hotel cos outsiders were not allowed in the palace during the course of the ceremony. It was about 2.5hours long and when my parents came back, I saw them dressed in a traditional Dato and Datin outfit which really looked stunning on them.

I'm proud of my parents and I know for a fact that my dad was genuinely happy that he has this achievement. For the years that he has worked hard to get to where he is today, I know he's honored that this day has come. I also know my grandparents, especially my grandfather, would be very proud to see this go through.

Once again congrats to my parents ! =D

ditched my blog for ages . hmm . as usual . there's always a phase where i dont know what to update , just dont feel like writing anything ...even now i dont have much to say ... not because there's nothing happening , ironically , alot has happened . yet im so lost for words to describe the situation that i'm in ...

i'm sick and tired of everything . i dunno what to do anymore . i've tried my best but sadly, me trying isnt good enough .

Take it all - Adele

written by her for her ex , in fact her whole album is about her ex ... kinda reflects a little on how i feel now ... time to numb myself with some emo love songs ...

BEEN EFFING LONG SINCE I UPDATED !!!

Holidays are finally here after slogging my life away during the last college semester. Everything went very well this last sem and I'm very happy with my performance at school =) Finally there is some time to sit down and do nothing all day , surfing the net and of course, updating my bloggie . Heh .

Apart from college, nothing much has happened really. Life has been quite peaceful and quiet, maybe because some people are outta my life forever. Yes, with reference to my previous blog entry, I'm so happy I decided to abandon those pathetic definitions of friends and carry on with my life. Of which I have some new ones from college now and I love them very much ! Yes my fellow ADP classmates ! You guys !!

LoL okay being a little over dramatic there.

Since the holidays are here, how can Maddie not travel ? Heh .
I will be heading to Bangkok on the 14th this month with my bf's company, it's their company trip and even though the cost of the tour was quite expensive to me , I figured it was worth it since my bf decided to be oh so very nice and sponsor half of it . Haha . Besides, I checked out the hotels on the itenary on google, and damn, 5 star indeed ! Can't wait ! And the airline is NOT airasia , thank god , it's Thai Airways which is pretty cool too.

After the 4 days 3 nights tour in Bangkok/Pattaya, I'll be heading to Singapore for about 5 days right after, also with my baby boy . I'm gonna check out Wild Wild Wet again cos the last time I went was 8 years ago when I was still in high school there. Back then , it was the best water theme park, I don't know about now but I do hope it's still fun =D

Will blog again when I'm done with all my trips , or maybe in between them if I have time =)

This will be the last time I will ever speak of those two losers J and V . Lets hope they are very happy together as they claim and I shall just wait for the day that some shit happens so that I can say " See, I told you so " .

Even after the fact that I got shouted at like nobody's business , I still made the effort to go to J's house and talk things out with him. My intentions were not negative, I went there just to have a private conversation with my friend to settle things out. There are many things that I would like to clarify once and for all because the prolonging judgement is seriously pissing the hell outta me.

Not at all surprised, when I got to the house, the bitch V was with him too. Fine, I did not want to talk to her , I just wanted to talk to my friend J . So I calmly asked for a private conversation outside the house with J , however, for like 45min of wasting my fckin time, V would not stop grabbing onto J's hand and whispering in his ear, telling him to not talk to me. I had my group of friends there who saw this whole incident. Yeap, for like 45min total, she never let go of J's hand and kept on saying to him " I dont want you to talk to her . Why should I let her talk " .

The fact that she thinks she can control him 100% is not the main point, the point is, J could not even set his so called gf aside for 5min just to have a conversation with his friends. I told him straight to the face that he should grow some balls, but he said it isnt about the matter of courage , its about principles . Erm , hello ? What principles ? Can't you see that your girl is keeping your balls for you ?

I valued my friendship with J and stayed on for 45min to persuade to hear me out, but of course, to no avail. I said to him that nobody can force him to do wtv he doesnt want to do. If he wants to hear me out , then lets have the conversation. Most ppl could tell that he wanted to see what I had to say, but because of the constant restraining from V, he did not know what to do.

Honestly, if he did not want to hear what I had to say , he would have just gone home and locked the door. Why bother to stand outside with me for that long right ?

So eventually, I couldn't stand the sight of that disgusting image anymore and left. I made an effort to settle things but all I got was a complete waste of my time and bullshit. This will be the last time I will ever talk to him. I will and am officially erasing them from my life. Never shall they be spoken about. I've had enough really. My world is a greater place without bugs like them .

And for your info , if I wanted to do anything to your car, I would have set it on fire and threw it down the drain. Sheesh. useless piece of crap .

Class has officially started !

My timetable is quite awesome this semester. Being a short sem, i'm only required to take 2 subjects, and it has been preselected for us because there are only 15 people this intake. The subjects are Philosophy and Cultural Anthropology. Frankly I hate these two subjects because they're quite intensive. Large amounts of reading and self studying.

But I guess the good part is that I only have to be in school for 2 days a week. It's not super relaxing, because after class hours and on days we dont have classes, I really have to study alot on my own and complete many assignments. I think you can say that I have stuff to do almost everyday. Yes it is stressful but I guess I'm enjoying school =) If I plan my time well, I should still be able to have some fun time and nice dinner movie sessions with my baby boy <3

Just came back from Port Dickson with the gang yesterday ! We stayed at The Legend International Water Homes , in one of the Sky Villas that had 2 king beds, a spacious living area, a small kitchen, AWESOME BUILT IN POOL that has a open air rain shower =D Of course there's a toilet which is enclosed so the world doesnt see you showering. lol . It's an awesome place for the family, friends and of course lovey dovey couples as well. They do have smaller villas that only have 1 king bed so it's just the right size for a couple.

Most of the villas look quite the same, it only varies in where the furniture is placed and the size of the room. The average rate ranges from 500 - 700 ringgit per night depending on season and type of room. If many people are going, you can definitely share the price . We paid about RM93 per pax for the sky villa =) However, each room only has free breakfast buffet for 2 persons which I find quite unreasonable considering that the room can sleep much more people. =/

School starts for me on monday March 14th. I'm excited about it but at the same time quite reluctant to give up my free and easy life , haha . There will definitely be work and lots of assignments coming up very soon since this is a short semester, but I have to work hard through this. Been a long time since I got serious about finishing my degree and it's definitely time to do so. I really really hope everything works well for me and I can finish this successfully ! Go Maddie !!!

Happy Birthday to ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was helping a friend work for last night , ended up in hartamas so the gang came down to meet me at 12am for a little birthday 'yumcha' session . xD Tonight I'm having a little gathering with some friends from all over. Not a massive party but there'll be food, drinks, wine and liquor , it's gonna end early cos today is a thursday and almost everyone has to work the following day. I'm not into late night partying anyway already, so this should work out pretty well for everyone =)

I'm 22 years old now. Woah. Time really flies. The years just zoom by so quickly and I cant help but wonder where did all the time go? I remember last year during my birthday, I was in LA and had a bunch of awesome friends from the NYFA who celebrated my birthday for me at Chilis (fav food place of all time =P) Then suddenly, it's my birthday again and I'm celebrating it at home with the comfort of my loves =)

What's my birthday wish ? Hmmm honestly I haven't really decided, but it should be more or less the usual ... xD can't reveal my wish or else it wont come through ... hahaha ... keeping my fingers crossed =P

A big thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes ! A even bigger thank you to those who are able to come for my party ! And of course, the greatest thank you to my parents for making this day happen =)

okay . i'm damn sad about my new guppies . at first I had 2 guppies which were completely fine , the mummy even gave birth to 7 little baby guppies. I went to get a bigger tank and more guppies. For some reason, they started dying one by one (T___T) and now I only have 4 adult guppies left (none of which from the first 2 i had) and ONE POOR DAMN BABY GUPPY . sobx . they just started dying and i dunno why . maybe i shouldnt have changed the tanks in the first place . SIGH . oh wells . i've changed the waters and added in anti fungal solution . Please let my new hobby work out =D I also added in 3 new tetras today cos they simply look so pretty glowing in streaks of blue . Heh.

ANYWAY !

This blog entry isn't exactly about my pretty little fishies. It's about a certain somebody, and if you guys have been following my blog, you would know that I have a certain issue with this certain someone quite some time ago. And very sadly, she never fails to irk me whenever I hear about her little "endeavors" in life. Mainly because we all know somebody who knows somebody, therefore, news tends to spread pretty fast whenever something new occurs.

Firstly, this person V has been with 3 guys of the same social circle ever since she started dating in high school I suppose. It was one after another over a period of about 7 years I guess ? After one guy, she goes on to the next friend , then goes on to the next best friend and then finally on to the other friend ... Yeap , you heard me right . It's FOUR guys from the exact same social circle. It's not even a friend's friend kinda thing , it's like , actually close best friends. I mean, this is true , I'm not making any of this up. It is a fact and everyone who knows that group of friends would have noticed that she moves on to the next friend after the previous one ends.

I've even heard acquaintances ask " Wasn't she with so and so first ? Now she's with who and who ?? Omg , wait . NOW she's with "him" ??? " ... For people who don't hang out with us very often, it really comes as a surprise for them. Mainly because they dont see them very often, maybe once a year or once in a couple of years, and everytime they see V , oh dear lord, she's with another friend of the group.

Many of you may wonder, "Wow. 4 guys from the same group. Is she really hot or what?" ... Well people, I'm not here to criticize about her looks or anything, you guys can see for yourselves. Besides, I'm not pisd at her because of how she looks, I'm pisd at her character and attitude. Basically she has an issue with everything and everyone. When people treat her sincerely as a friend (aka what I used to do), she thinks we're showing off to her and never appreciates it. No "thank you dear friend" or "hey , gee thanks man . " Nothing at all .

"Maybe she has her own problems. Maybe we don't understand what she's going through"

Oh yeah right . Puh lease . What other reason or excuse can there be ? It's a known fact that she's screwed around with 4 guys from the same group, one after the other. If you tell me 2 , or even 3 guys . Okay fine . Maybe fate just didn't work out for her right there. But 4 ?? Fate screwed her over about that ? Erm no , more like she's screwing herself and the guys over. Yucks.

That's not all people. I seriously think (well many people think so too) that the reason why she's with the 4th guy, is simply because of money. All along, she never had true feelings for this guy. The guy was her spare tyre for about 5 years or something like that. He always was, and he still is. I'm sorry, but even though this 4th guy is a dear friend of mine, but I honestly think her intentions of being with him is not sincere. She once admitted to me that since he's willing to shower luxuries on her, she may as well take it. Therefore, I do not belive that she is with him now because she loves him. Buy her a branded handbag or something and she'll do whatever you want. I used to think she had more dignity than that, seems that I was wrong, she's even cheaper than I thought. Being with a guy for what he can buy for you?? Gawd. You really are hopeless.

The other night I also heard some juicy gossip about them. Apparently, even though V is with the 4th guy now , she and the previous guy (guy number 3) still has that, you know, "we've broken up but we're still not really over each other" thingy going on ?? According to a source, they apparently still flirt with each other , and V definitely treats guy number 3 much more than what exes or friends should treat each other. You know, when you've broken up with a guy, and you're with that guy's friend now, you really have to learn to steer clear of sensitive issues. Apparently, that's not what she's doing. She clearly cares more about the ex bf than the current one. Once again, this is not me just making things up cos I dont like her. I've got first hand witnesses who spill the story to me.

You might think that after all these months, I would have forgiven and forgotten about the conflicts and she and I had. Well, trust me, I've tried to let it go. Sometimes I even think that, for the sake of my friend (guy number 4) , I should learn to wish them happiness and just let go of the stupid grudges in the past.

Sorry, but, I just can't do it. I constantly hear about stuff regarding the things that she does, and I simply can't agree with it. She's been with 4 guys from the same group. She's with the 4th guy for materialistic reasons. She's still flirting with her ex even though she's with my friend. She still thinks that the past fights were non of her fault. All these numerous reasons are exactly why I can't put the past behind us. Even if she were to miraculously apologize for everything that's happened (meaning I doubt it'll ever happen) , I don't think I'll be able to see her like any normal friend again. Because deep inside, my friends and I all know that the same shit is going to happen again. A leopard never changes its spots. She always thought that she was right , hence, she's just gonna be as unreasonable as ever. So what's the point ? Forget it , I don't give a shit about our so called friendship. I treated her like a close girlfriend but all I got was some massive verbal attack. Sheesh.

Some people (esp the very brainwashed guy number 4) think I'm just attacking her now because I don't like her from conflicts in the past. However, apart from that, I dislike the way she's handling things. Can't she just have more dignity and move on to some other guy that's NOT from our group ?? Can't she just be more independent for once and live her single life to the fullest? Why does she always have to wind back to this group and mess around with all the guys?

Ew. If she's actually proud to have screwed 4 guys then oh gawd , ew ew ew . It's not something to be proud of . What happened to all pride that she used to have ?? I always saw her as a person with high pride and ego . She would never do something like this and make herself so cheap. But now, I don't even know what to say anymore. Even her ex bfs think she's degraded herself into some materialistic group whore . Please la . Have some shame . Do something for yourself and save your dignity. Cut all the bullshit that you've been causing around here. Maybe then , just maybe , I would respect you just a little bit more .

It was Valentines Day last night !! Hopefully everyone had a great time with their loved ones. Even though valentines is typically for lovers, but I guess everyone can celebrate with their friends and family cos technically, it's meant to be a day for you to appreciate your loved ones, and your loved ones don't necessarily have to be your boyfriend/girlfriend, it could be your family members or close friends too =)

The gang and I went to sing k at Loudspeaker Kota Damansara, it was rm25nett each (damn cheap as compared to redbox/neway) . It include 2 drinks and we also ordered some fries and snacks which you have to add on, but everything is nett already, which is what I love about the place. You don't have to worry about plus charges or anything more =)

The only thing bad about the place is probably the problem that the songs tend to pause unexpectedly, and sometimes the songs jam or skip a beat ... but I realized that after about 45mins into the singing, the files start to play more smoothly . Well, it's rm28nett on a peak night, what do you expect ? Haha, there has to be something negative about such a good deal. =P

Daddy and I headed to Tropicana City Mall this afternoon to look at some cameras. I seriously wasn't expecting anything, simple browsing, then my dad asked if I would like the Nikon D3100 since I was asking about a easy and lightweight dslr camera. We took a look at the camera and really found it quite appealing. I'm not a pro with cameras so something simple to use would be great for starters. It was the last unit left and apparently the price is cheaper as compared to in singapore, so we decided to get it ! =D Besides, my dad has plenty of nikon lenses that I can use if I wanna take better pictures. Awesome yeah ?! I'll start using the camera as soon as it's charged full and post them on facebook =D

Happy Chinese New Year !! May everyone be blessed with good health and fortune this year !!

So far my "angpow funds" have been going pretty well. Hopefully there are more to come ! Haha .. I thought my gambling luck would change this year, but sadly, it hasnt looked very promising. Maybe I'm just not meant to gamble. Basically all my life, I've nv really had awesome gambling luck. I earn money better and faster with little business deals and sales that I do. Haha, well of course that's better but it's chinese new year ! Gambling happens everyday and it really sux to see the rm1 notes in my little tin can becoming lesser =( Oh wells ! More good luck will come ! Huat ah !!!

I went to Taipei with my family during the first 4 days of cny . As usual, there were tons of people, but at the same time, TONS OF AWESOME FOOD AND CLOTHES !!! I always eat so much when I'm there but all the walking around does help to burn off some calories =P It's still winter there and the fashion would be winter clothings, hence there wasn't much that I could buy to wear in hot hot malaysia, but there were a few good and nice ones =)

We also went to Taiwan International Flora Expo . I'm very impressed at the expo actually. Even though it was winter, the flowers were blooming beautifully and the entire design and layout of the expo was definitely grand . If you enter as a single person, the fee is TWD300 , but if you can gather a group of 12 at the ticketing booth and purchase the group entry tickets , then it's only TWD180 . We saved alot cos many people were looking for a group of 12 so that they could get the cheaper tickets. I also heard that the rice box in the food court inside the expo is really awesome. Do try it out when you guys head to Taipei !

The case of the abused toy poodle has had quite alot of updates recently. Some people claim that the dog had already died some years back. Others say there are 3 more dogs that the abusive couple owns. There are facebook users who have found the address and car plate number of the abuser in the video. There are many groups that have been formed to hunt them down but at the moment, still to no avail.

As much as I would love for the horrible abusers to be put behind bars, there are certain issues that I do not completely agree with. Firstly, some facebook users have commented that they should capture the man responsible for the abuse (Allan) and torture him privately. They also know that he has a son and some people have said that they wanted to harass his son (who is 2 yrs old btw) just to take revenge at the man in the video. I think this is ridiculous. Allan has done something wrong by abusing the toy poodle, however, his young son is innocent. Why should their family be involved and face judgement from the rest of the world when only Allan himself alone is responsible for the abuse. Other people have also shared pictures and private information on friends and family of the female abuser (Doreen). They have requested that the whole world hunt the couple down by harassing their friends and family.

While seeking justice for the poor puppy, we must not lose track of our morals and values. If we treat Allan and Doreen just like how they treated the dog, how different are we from them? When we engage in barbaric languages and behavior, how much more right and holy are we as compared to them? Moreover, we just want justice for this matter. Why should we involve innocent people such as their friends, family and 2 year old son who was not even born during the time of the abuse? There are many people on facebook who have lost their senses when handling this matter. They have carried themselves in barbaric manners which are no different from the abuser. That is not chivalry or being supportive for all dog lovers, that's simply acting the same way as unethical and uneducated people.

I am utterly horrified at the actions of this young couple! They deserve to be punished for what they did to this poor little Poodle.

I was going through facebook and came across many of my friends commenting aggressively at a video that was shared through facebook. I decided to watch the video and much to my horror, I witnessed a guy with gold hair and tattoos abusing a small toy poodle. He made the poodle stand for minutes and everytime the dog sits down, he would smack and punch it!! He thinks it's funny to watch some acrobatic act performed by the dog and thinks that his "intensive training" would turn the dog into a actor.

His girlfriend, who was videoing the whole act of abuse, could be heard scared in the background as she told her boyfriend to stop. I would assume that the guy is a violent person and therefore, she is afraid of stopping him. Then again, she should not have let this happen to a poor defenseless dog. The fact that she could actually hold the camera and let the video go on for 15min is simply unforgivable. Even if I could understand her fear, I do not agree with her cowardly acts of not protecting her dear pet.

Please help to locate the people in this video. The SPCA has agreed to take action against them and I have heard that rewards will be given to those to find the abusers. I hope that everyone will not only be motivated by the rewards, but think about saving the poor dog from all that torture. It hurts just to see a short 15min video of this act of abuse, imagine if the dog has to go through this every single day.

The guy in the video is sick . Mentally sick. He needs psychological therapy for his acts of violence. We do not need people like him in our society. We should help the poor dog escape from him !!

Please view the video here via facebook and spread the news !!

Poor Dog Abused by heartless owner

My family went to Singapore for the weekend. I'm all alone at home now, but no worries, cos my baby boy is coming over later to sayang me. Heh. I'm cooking dinner tonight, as usual, well I usually do when my family's outta town cos it's the only chance that I get to cook whatever I want and of course whatever my baby boy wants as well =) We're like a young married couple during occasions like this since I'm the little housewife waiting for my hubby to end work and we can have a nice home cooked meal together. Hahaha ...

It may sound a little 'aunty' of me to be heading to the market, cooking dinner etc and waiting for him to come home, but speaking of this issue, I've been hearing lots of divorce cases lately where it's party because the wife is not a good homemaker and is therefore a indirect cause of the divorce =/

I may not know much about marriage, but I'm quite sure to say that men/husbands/boyfriends would love if their wives could take good care of the house, cook delicious meals or even make some kick ass dessert. Certainly, not everyone is a Masterchef, but at the least, girls/women should know how to cook a dish or two. At least in this way, there's something that make your men wanna crave for.

For example, if a girlfriend makes awesome, erm lets say, apple crumble pie, or something. And most importantly, the boyfriend loves it ALOT. He will more or less crave for it one time or another, and it makes the girlfriend look important since she's the only one who can make that kinda tasting apple crumble pie ! Erh, get it??

Well basically what I'm trying to say is, when there are certain qualities of yourself which your man cannot find on other women, it gives you some bonus points. Not only does it make you the best girlfriend in the world for being able to make something that great for him, it's going to help you keep your guy around for a good deal amount of time. If you girls are going to say, "if he loves me then he should love me for whatever I am" , then you are so wrong. If you don't put in any effort to make yourself likeable or memorable for whatever reason, how do you expect him to stick around?

I'm not the most intelligent or pretty girl around, neither am I the best cook in the world, but at least I know what my guy likes and I try my best to fulfill them. Even if I don't know how to perfect a certain food he likes, at least I put in the effort to try learning it and whipping it into a style of my own. I really think girls should start trying to go into the kitchen and making something. I mean like now, and like, on a regular basis. Screw the manicure! Besides, it only lasts a week and you have to take the nail polish off to let your nails breathe to prevent them from turning yellow. So there you go, a couple of days for you to get into the kitchen and learn something. When it goes into his mouth and he tells you it tastes great, then hey, it's the best compliment you'll ever receive =)

8 hours of baking class nearly killed me !!! Gosh !!! Well you guys must be wondering why the hell is my baking class so long. Lemme explain.

Actually, there is suppose to be 4 classes which happens every Sunday of this month. The class last week got cancelled due to a education fair that the ICCA participated in, therefore they split the 2nd class over the 3rd and 4th class (if this even makes sense) . Basically, instead of 2 cakes and 2 frostings per class, I had to make 3 cakes and 3 frostings for the following classes. (T-T)

Baking is fun, the baking process is fun too. However, it's the washing of the utensils that is killing me ! Imagine having to wash all the bowls, spoons, spatulas etc for 6 times because there isn't enough utensils to go around and we have to wash and reuse and wash and reuse and wash again after each freaking item on the menu .

Sheesh! Then again, I'm quite proud of myself for accomplishing so much in a single day. Haha.

Check out the results of my hard work =D

Nothing much to blog about, yet at the same time there's so much to mention. LoL. Well I don't know how to start cos it's actually alot of random daily stuff that's been going on ...

Well let's start with today. I went to Segi College at kota damansara to apply for my course. Yes. I'm applying to Segi University. Okay I've been getting this alot from all sorts of people (like friends, mum's friends etc). I know Segi isn't exactly the best university around but of course I have my reasons for choosing to study there. Most importantly, I want a degree program which is awarded fully by a foreign institution. In my case, this means that the degree that I study will be certified by Upper Iowa University in the states. My education and certificates will be 100% by the USA university and not Segi college.

As far as I know, Segi is the only university that offers this. Other universities such as Taylors, Help, KDU etc only offer twinning or transfer programs. It is basically impossible to graduate with a foreign certificate by doing a 4+0 in Malaysia. Since Segi university offers it, I have decided to enroll for it, after all, I do prefer the american education system.

At the same time I'm also open to other options of transfers in future. I may transfer in my last year or last semester to another university overseas or perhaps I will have my degree here and during my post grad then I'll do it elsewhere. At the moment, I really don't wanna think that far because alot of time has been wasted for me and I just wanna concentrate on finishing my degree.

Anyways! The gang and I went to watch Paranormal Activity 2 last night at tropicana city mall. Before the movie, I was told that it's the scariest shit EVER and some people claimed they almost shat their pants. lol . Well I wanted to see for myself. Maybe it was due to all the pre movie prep that it was gonna be scary, I actually didnt find it THAT scary. I do agree that there were some scenes which really freaked me out, however in general, I've watched better horror movies. I haven't watched part 1 of the show and I think I'm gonna watch it online some time and compare if 1 or 2 is scarier. Haha. But seriously, do bring a jacket/scarf to cover your face or eyes for the "boom" effect scary bits of the show =P

Back from Cherating !!! I guess it was still the rainy season so our entire trip was kind of cloudy and wet, but thankfully the sky graced us with the sun for about 2 hours at the beach so we could all camwhore. Wahaha. I had a great time celebrating my baby boy's birthday along with some awesome friends who added silliness and laughter to the whole trip ! Thanks for coming Eliza , Muyo, Yumin & Yin !! =D

More pics are on my facebook but here's some:

I baked the cake !! Awesome yeahhh ??? xD

I've spent four birthdays with you so far, hopefully many more to come =) Every year during this special day, I would think of different ways and ideas to make your birthday a memorable one. Of course, it gets harder every year as I run outta romantic ideas =P , but this wont stop me from trying to give you the best birthdays ever, instead, I'm thankful that I am the one spending your birthdays with you. It's my pleasure and joy to see you grow a year older and also to see our relationship mature with it.

I love you Chris Lee Kah Heng <3

Counting down 2 days to Cherating and my baby boy's 23rd Birthday !!!

That's a picture of the beach that we took when we went for Cherating last year in Jan as well . Haha I didn't realize that we went a year ago as well until I was looking at my 2010 calender before throwing it away. Anyways! We all can't wait! I'll be heading to the market tomorrow morning to get the food stuff for our steamboat dinner there, as well as some remaining bakery things for the cake that I'm baking for the birthday boy =)

Will update again after Cherating ~

It's a NEW YEAR !!! GoodBye to 2010 and Hello to 2011 !!!

I really hope this year brings more good luck than the past few years. Seriously, besides my baby boy and ALOT of travelling, nothing has been quite going my way since 2008 =/ I mean overall I'm really appreciate of all the good things I have in life, but regarding my studies, jobs that I've done, and many other small things in daily life ... it really hasnt been quite a smooth flowing journey =(

According to my by far very accurate fortune teller (lol), this year should be a great year for me as I have both money and career luck, but since I don't have a career then it's going to be study luck, so that's a nice positive thought to hold at the moment yeah?

My boyfriend's birthday is always my top priority at the beginning of every year. This year, we have gathered a couple of close friends (ahem, TRUE friends unlike some jerks who aren't worthy at all) to come celebrate with us at Cherating Beach. We'll be spending a night there and we're gonna have steamboat, beer, and a very awesome chocolate + many red cherries cake which I will be personalizing for my baby boy =D I've completed my first attempt at the cake today, somehow the ganache didn't work out like I expected. I tried 4 times to create the ganache and finally gave up and switched recipes for it. I used whipped cream and combined cocoa powder and icing sugar then spread it all over the moist choc cake. It actually looks pretty alright for a first try, haha. I plan on covering the sides with chocolate rice and topping it with red cherries just the way he likes it =)

There's a photo of the "test cake" on my facebook profile , so click on the link to my facebook page if you guys wanna see it =)

I just woke up, still feeling really sleepy and I had one of the weirdest nightmares in quite a while. I dreamt that I was attacked by zombies and I had to think of intellectual ways to kill them cos they're freaking scary and scheming at the same time! Sigh , maybe because I've been playing with the game called Plants vs Zombies by PopCap, the images and the emotions I experienced while playing the game has been locked into my subconscious mind, therefore projecting itself as dreams while I sleep. Don't understand wth I'm talking about? Haha, it's okay, these are psychological explanations.

Anyway ! Something happened to my mum and aunty while they were taking my cousin to the dentist yesterday afternoon. My cousin is a mentally challenged kid, and he is unable to speak normally, therefore unable to express how he feels. He had a serious toothache and was taken to a government hospital to see if the doctors could admit him for some xrays or a short dental procedure to remove the aching tooth. When they got to the hospital, not only were the staff of the hospital slow and inefficient, they refused to admit my cousin and insisted that they proceed to a regular dentist to obtain a reference letter first. Apparently, without a reference letter from a dentist stating that the patient needs to be admitted for a specific reason, they will not do anything.

Fine. Since they insisted there was nothing they could do (how ridiculous, a hospital cannot help a mentally challenged patient pluck his aching tooth) , my mum took my aunt and cousin to a nearby doctor for consultation. After waiting for an hour, they finally saw the doc. And here's what he said in mandarin, : " For people like this boy, I can't help you. You have to take him to a hospital, I cannot do anything about this. " ... So my mum explained that they've been to the hospital and was told they needed a reference letter which was why they came to the dentist. To her horror, this inconsiderate son of a bitch dentist replied , " I don't have time to write letters for you ! Do you know how busy I am ?! I still haven't had my lunch ! If you want a letter you have to wait for a week , when I'm free then I will write the letter for you. No way I will do it now ! "

Is that a doctor with the worst ethics I've seen or what ? A week to write 1 bloody reference letter ?!?! As far as I know, it only takes a few min of his freaking time and he chose to let a mentally challenged patient suffer for a few more days without medical help just because he has no time to write a short letter ?!?! Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU ASSHOLE !! I personally feel he should have his licensed revoked because he has failed his purpose as a doctor. He is a disgrace to the medical world and ought to be struck by lightning on a bright sunny day ! Sheesh !!! How irresponsible.

Feeling helpless, my aunt had no other choice but to take my cousin home and try to ease his pain with some painkillers ... It is so tragic that no hospital and doctor is willing to do a simple tooth extraction procedure for a mentally challenged boy . Oh wait, they did not even examine him in the first place. Is this the kinda medical services that malaysia offers? No wonder all the people I know choose to go to private hospitals because the government hospitals and local doctors are USELESS. The hospital staff are incompetent and are not well trained to handle situations and to that stupid pediatrician at Cheras , just quit your job please, you're such a failure as a doctor .

Christmas is over and I'm heading back to Malaysia today ! Well the atmosphere around Singapore still feels like it's xmas and of course, I had a great time with my family members =D Besides the overload of Koi bubble tea (lol), there was one thing that HAD to ruin my christmas this year =( I had a sore throat and it was swollen, red and made it extremely difficult for me to enjoy myself 100%. All the food was so great but eating was sort of a chore cos everytime I swallowed my saliva/drinks/food, it would hurt like a bitch (T-T) I even had to go see a 24hour clinic and it cost me $84 for 2 very simple medications !!! argh ..

Of course, there is always a brighter side to everything, and for me this Christmas, there was an extremely bright side ! Haha ... I got my Burberry handbag yesterday !!!!!!!!!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!! It's a christmas present + 2 years birthday present from my dear Daddy !! =D I'm a very lucky and happy little girl. Heh. Also, not forgetting my cousin Rou who carried it all the way back from Chicago which made her look like a overloaded tourist from China or something ... hahaha Thank you YinRou jiejie !!!

So here's the product catalog picture for my Burberry Tote. It looks pretty much the same cept on the actual bag, the colours are slightly darker .. =)

2010-12-25T11:04:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas to all my dear family and friends !

2010-12-21T12:17:00.002+08:00

Christmas is just around the weekend ! I have decided to head down to singapore with my sis and dad tmrw and spend christmas there with my dear family members =) I remember when I was younger, we used to have christmas gatherings at my grandma's place every year. It was either a catered buffet or bbq, sometimes even both. The highlight of the night was the gift exchange session. Everyone had to bring 1 item worth $20 (sing dollars) or more and wrap it up to be placed on the table, at the end of the night we would number the gifts and have a "lucky draw" to see which number you'd get to determine which present you'd get. If you got your own then you pick again. Ahhh ... good times =)

Merry Xmas everyone ! A new year is coming and let's celebrate the last of this year =D

2010-12-16T13:19:00.002+08:00

Feel like changing my blog skin ... I feel it's kinda hard to read sometimes ... haha, but I'm too lazy now, will do it when I'm more spontaneous about it =P

Christmas is around the corner, but that's not the next event I'm stressed and hyped up about. My baby boy's birthday is on 8th jan which isnt too far away and I've diverted all my attention to planning that so christmas is just gonna be any other day this year =) We've planned to go sing k with some of VT's members, not sure how many are gonna show up but the "usual" will definitely be there , haha .

I've noticed many new car teams rising nowadays and each car club/team has their own style and organization. Aren't all members supposed to be active in the activities that are planned by the management of their individual car teams? From the basic 'yumcha' sessions to outstation "TT" sessions, for our case it's always the usual few who show up. Some people took our car stickers but still have not paid up their member fees (-.-)" They don't even reply sms or calls now. What did they think they were signing themselves up for in the first place by joining a car club? Isn't it part of the deal to go yumcha and participate in car club activities? Well, apparently to some people, they couldnt care less, therefore, there's really no difference with or without them around. Why bother huh.

Speaking of friends being around or not, it has come to my attention that a certain friend of mine might be losing his social life very soon. As his friend I certainly wish him happiness, however, I'm not able to lie to myself about what I predict happening to him. With reference from 2 very obvious past examples, the result of his relationship with a certain person should have about the same ending as the past examples. Well what can I say? Enjoy your freedom while it lasts, your "jail sentence" is coming pretty soon eh? =P

2010-12-09T11:54:00.002+08:00

Came back from Brisbane last week . Well the trip didnt exactly turn out like how I expected it to. I fell sick for a couple of days and my tummy just wasn't feeling good. We even had to leave MovieWorld early cos I couldn't last through it, but then again, it was quite boring =/ I don't recall MovieWorld as such a small and boring amusement park tho ... Maybe because over the years I've been to better ones like Universal Studios or Disneyland . Hehe

I'm still waiting for the artist at BlackCat to send me a few designs for my tattoo rework. I was suppose to receive an email from him last week but I haven't got anything yet. It's actually the 2nd time I've failed to hear any news from them, it's kinda starting to question their professionalism, hmm . Maybe they're too busy or something. I think I'll wait another week or so, besides I've decided to do it after the 2nd week of January. Been rather tight on cash lately (>.<) Why? Haha, gotta save up for my baby's birthday in early jan, and besides, my Burberry handbag is coming! Daddy promised to sponsor half of it so I still have to take care of the other half myself. Hopefully my dear frens and family would still be willing to help pay rm10 each as campaigned on facebook. Haha, after all it is for my 22nd birthday present !!!

Brisbane here I come ....

2010-11-26T23:29:00.003+08:00

I'm heading to Brisbane from 27th Nov to 6th Dec 2010 ... bringing my sister back to malaysia since she's done with foundation year at the moment ... I should be traveling around Brisbane a bit ... can't wait to see the sand, sea and the cutie koala bears!! haha .. will update when i'm back ! =P

2010-11-21T23:08:00.003+08:00

The week zoomed by soooooo quickly. Tmrw's monday again ... =( Well, I don't have school yet but monday means my baby boy has to work and I don't get to see him till late at night as usual. Sigh. Anyways, went out the whole day today, headed to sunway pyramid to check out a tattoo place called Black Cat. Heard some good reviews so I decided to go get a quote for my tattoo touch up and rework. The tattoo artist said it shouldnt be more than 600, whereas Borneo Ink quoted me 600 or more some years back. Huge diff huh. The quality? It looks pretty good so i guess i'll just save my wallet some cash =) Made an appointment to head down on thursday to look at some of the designs the guy might have come up with, and if i'm okay with it, then i'll put a deposit and get it done when i'm back from Brisbane next month =)

Raising $$ for Maddie's Birthday Present

2010-11-18T22:22:00.004+08:00

I have came up with an awesome way of earning my birthday present next year ! Well as some of you might have already seen on my facebook, I'm starting a campaign on facebook to raise money for my birthday present next year. I would like to have a Burberry Nova Large Tote Bag, I'm not sure how much exactly it costs in Malaysia but I aim to raise rm3k for it. I shall come up with the rest of the remaining amount if it's more (which i highly think it is).

How does this work?
Well, at the moment, I have over 600 friends on facebook. However, around half of them are the ones that I actually keep in contact with. Which means, if every facebook friend provides me with a small amount of rm10, I will be able to raise more than enough money for my Burberry bag.

Why Maddie thinks you should help?
First and foremost, it's my birthday present! Besides, rm10 for a person's birthday present is extremely cheap isn't it? Not to mention the fact that with just rm10, you will be able to help me get a Burberry handbag.
Of course, this wont be just another branded item in my closet. With everyone's contributions, the bag would be a representation of everyone's wishes for my 22nd birthday. Each time I use the Burberry, I'll be reminded of everyone's sincere contributions for my birthday present. Hence, it will be very much appreciated!

I'm sincerely asking for your kind wishes =) I wanna stress that this isn't a matter of me being to afford it or not, it's also not an act to cheat people's money. If in any way, you feel that you are unwilling to contribute for this cause, no worries at all. I will not want anyone to feel forced into contributing.

For all those who have already donated or have agreed to donate, THANK YOU SO MUCH !

been quite a while since i updated my blog ! as usual , hmm ... but anyways ! it has been a very very busy couple of weeks , lots of activities going on ... firstly, let's update with reference from my previous update ... i said i was applying for Monash sunway yeah ? Well , in less than a week (which is super fast for a foreign university), they rejected my application (T-T) with a reason stating that i do not fulfill their entry requirements for the school of arts and science =/ in the first place they didnt even have a stated requirement for students who did the ADP program ... guess my overall GPA didnt satisfy them, but still, my igcse grades were above averagely good , and i did submit all documents that were requested ... still , they didnt consider those factors i guess ... sigh , my mum has a friend who knows someone working in a high position in monash sunway , they're hoping to get the admissions office to review my application again to see if they could give it a second chance , but honestly speaking, im not really a 'thick-skinned' person ... if the school doesnt want to accept me then i usually don't beg for a second chance , i would choose to bliv it's probably not meant to be ... life doesnt end there anyway, i'm sure i will find other schools or degrees that will help me work this out =)

The past 2 weeks have been very fulfilling ! Firstly, jimin and i went to work at an event at klcc called CyberSecurity Malaysia 2010, we were helping out at booths that eliza's company had set up. It was a 3 day event that ran during normal office hours. The aircon was super cold !!! And i fell sick , sigh , bad timing with all the other activities that were lined up. I sounded like a man for several days with that bad throat, cough and flu =S then on sat 30th nov, we went to work at a Volkswagen launch party in changkat kl ... the event was to launch the 3 new models: Polo, Golf(my new car!!!), and Scirocco. Leona Lewis and the veronicas were there and from my outlet's view, it was quite okay, not too many people crowding in the area. Although it was super tiring by standing all night, esp since i was still sick, it was quite fun actually =P not to mention the $ we were getting paid for ... haha totally worth it . So you think the week ended there? Nope ! The following day was Halloween, and eliza n i were the car club models for velocity troopers for the night. We'd been planning this for weeks so it was a must go! damn, the other cars were so exaggeratedly decorated, our cars looked so 'naked' in the event ... haha but still, it was a good try and i defo had alot of fun playing angel for the night =) (photos are all on facebook btw)

the week zoomed by and it was finally time for the taipei trip that my baby boy and i had planned ages ago ... we flew airasia X to taipei and spent an AWESOME 4 days 3 nights there ... our hotel (StarBeauty Hotel) was RIGHT OUTSIDE SHI LIN NIGHT MARKET ... not to mention how extremely convenient it was, we never went hungry during the entire stay there ... we ate every 2 hours or hourly , lol , there was just so much food to try, and besides the new food we havent tried, there were so many types of snacks that i wanted to eat again and again ... sadly, there's only this much our tummies could contain and i really wished we had just 1 more night to go to the other night markets cos we only went to 1 other, which is Shi Da night market ... it's small but the food there is also awesome ... the variety however is not as great as Shilin of course ... JianTan mrt station was right next to Shilin as well, it was very convenient for us to take the public transportation to go places that we want ... our hotel was small, but the rooms are great. it had a huge king size bed and a great bathroom with a bathtub and a shower =D the tv had 70 channels !!!! 70 DIFFERENT channels , how awesome is that? 2 of which are porn . lol seriously, it plays porn 24hours a day. one is asian and the other is western. =P not gonna elaborate on that one . haha , last but not least, there's a wotie and shui jiao shop right below our hotel and trust me, it's the best variety and taste of 锅贴+水饺 i've ever tried ... my fav is the kimchi flavored one which i even brought 20 frozen ones back to enjoy over the month (cos that's how long they can last) ... the bottomline? I'm so lucky to have spent a great trip with my baby boy. I'm also glad i didnt include a certain you-know-which-couple-i'm-talking-about who promised to be on this trip with us initially and even asked me to pay with my credit card first ... geex , thank god i didnt, otherwise i'd be paying up their debt which would totally ruin my holiday ... maybe this is all meant to be ... maybe life doesnt want such detrimental friends in my life which is why life removed them as soon as possible... =/

2010-10-19T16:25:00.002+08:00

finally i'm all ready to apply for Monash sunway ... just received my copies of igcse certs from CIE , and now i have all the documents ready for application ... the only problem is : will i be able to get in ? sigh ...my gpa is 0.4 away from their expected gpa , but hopefully , being business-minded as all other private institutions in malaysia are, they would accept me anyway for the sake of the very expensive school fees that i will be paying ... hmm .

i've really been doing nothing lately , i wanna sign up for some baking classes or singing classes that go on weekly but for the whole of november, i'm gonna have to miss quite a few cos i'll be going to taipei until the 5th (hurray with my baby boy) and then at the end of nov, i'll be heading to brisbane to help my sister move outta homestay and back here for a couple of months ... i dont wanna end up paying for a month of classes and then only attending 2 or 3 ... i wanna be here for all ... so i would probably start in december since we're not going skiing in korea anymore ... hopefully tokyo during chinese new year will work out !! =D

i've really been such a lucky girl . well i definitely have had my fair share of shitty incidents happening to me this year, but that's not the kinda luck i'm referring to. i'm talking about on a overall basis. Take this entire year for example. I have been to hongkong , LA, bandung, japan and i'm going to taipei and australia soon ... who would have the time and chance to travel to 6 countries in a year for holidays ? I really should start appreciating what i have ... well in fact I am beginning to already ... I'm glad about how i don't have to fuss over the quality of life, stress over money , and I'm thankful that I have a great family and a awesome darling who is just so so good to me ... Instead of thinking about what other ppl have and what I don't have .. I'm starting to realize that there are millions of great things in my life which millions of ppl out there don't ... and I should be thankful ... so now I keep telling myself that I should learn to be more contented, and still be competitive of course, but at the same time, not complain about what I don't have and just cherish all the good things in life that are mine now ... nothing lasts forever , knowing that , i will appreciate whatever i have now while it lasts ... =)

2010-10-06T12:36:00.002+08:00

back in singapore for the week ! I was suppose to come back and settle some stuff ... but turned out that some things didnt need settling after all .. (>.<) well i applied for SIM in singapore right , but now they tell me that without a valid toefl score before the 29th of october, i wont be eligible to apply for their jan intake ... weeks ago i've already informed that about this issue ... there is no toefl test date until at least november, and after that it'll take 2 weeks for the results to be submitted to any school ... there is no way i will make it in time for the october deadline ... it's not exactly my fault cos i did find out about this early and told them ... at first they could not give me a specific reply on what to do, and now they tell me i cant apply for jan intake anymore ... sheesh ... so much for travelling down to clementi all the time to submit various documents ... -.-"

so what happens now ? i dont really have many choices left if i wanna start school in the first intakes of next year ... i will be applying for Monash University in Sunway malaysia as well as Sunway college ... my first choice is still monash cos they're after all a more reputable university ... but that is really subject to their evaluations cos i still dont have my igcse cert (T-T) CIE is taking FOREVER to send it to me and no matter how many dozen emails i send, there's no reply ... call them? yeah u think i nv thought about that ... there's no phone number to call them regarding the replacement of certs ... all i can do is wait and pray and hope that it comes sooner than i expected ! *fingers crossed*

besides all that, my refund cheque from lasalle was suppose to come a month ago but till today, i have not received anything ... i emailed them and was told that my status is still "active" in the school records ... WTH ! I'm seriously disappointed at the way singaporean institutions do things nowadays ... and you would think singaporeans have efficiency, but oh no ... they're just as wishy washy as any other country i've come across ... -.-" SIGH

2010-09-22T16:11:00.002+08:00

looooooong time since my last bloggie update ! well basically i've been in kl for almost the whole of this month and i plan to return to singapore only after my sister has gone back to aussie ... she's coming back this sat ... heh =D

apart from enjoying my time here, i've also been busy with applications for schools but somehow, things dont seem to be going as smooth as i thought they would... first i realized that i've lost my igcse cert >.< , dont ask me how or when or why, seriously, i didnt even realise when it was gone ... i checked with some of the previous schools that i applied for, but there's still no sign of it ... sigh ... and there's no way CIE would give me a new one, but i can apply for something called a Certifying Statement which would serve the exact same purpose as my certificate, and this would also show my grades on it ... the only problem ? it takes 6 weeks for CIE to send this new statement to me and that would have been wayyyyyy past the deadline for application to SIM in singapore (T-T)

Apart from this, my toefl scores arent valid anymore cos it's 2 years from the date i took it ... the next test isnt available until november or maybe even later ... gawdddd what's wrong with everything? nothing seems to go my way in the process of applying for a new school ...Well anyway i've already called up the admissions office to find a solution for this and all they could do is to wait for my documents and try their best to evaluate my credits first .... sobxx ... and as for the schools in malaysia ... they're a bit less strict and sunway college has already started evaluating my subject credits before application ... so that's still alright at the moment ...

it's mooncake festival today ! 中秋节快乐！！！ remember to eat more mooncakes, burn more candles and have fun with the family =) i'll be having japanese food at Kura with dad & mum as well as some family friends ... my bf will be at his grandma's celebrating too ... have fun peeps =D

2010-09-02T11:17:00.004+08:00

The sound of peace? Oh yeah definitely ... finally the drama is over and i dont have to deal with a bunch of ridiculous people in my life ... *phew* ... or so i think huh? Well we will nv know what might happen , but hopefully here is where it ends ...

So ! Dear and I went to universal studios singapore on monday =D It was really fun! I absolutely loved the experience apart from the fact that we had to Q between 30min to 45min for each ride ... it actually dampens ur spirits cos waiting so much really sux ... but the best part was that for the "Revenge of the Mummy" ride .. there was no Q ... lol, i THINK it's bcos to be on the ride, u need to place ALL your belongings in a locker that will cost u $2 for every 20min .. however, the first 20min is free, so we managed to take our stuff out in time and didnt have to pay =D I went on the ride twice, the second time i went alone cos dear said he might puke if he goes again ... Hahaha, my poor baby boy has bad motion sickness u see ... he isnt good on fast paced thrilling rides =P but i still love him anyway ... he is the best company for me anytime ... It was his first time at a theme park like that and he acted like a little boy on his first trip to disneyland ... lolx xD

hmm , im actually work now ... at my cuz's company doing a temp job .. some data entry, research and checking etc ... just for 2 days ... might be more days but i dont know yet ... oh, gotta apply for school too ... sigh, i still cannot decide what i wanna do .. well most importantly i gotta apply first, see how many of my previous credits can transfer , then i'll decide ... =(

Btw, anyone in singapore interested in taking over my Starhub Cable tv and Internet contract? Even if you're not interested, please help me ask around ! Thank you.

2010-08-27T12:28:00.005+08:00

Sheesh! So many things happened yesterday ... Lots of drama, conflict and ridiculous shit circling all around ... I went to the temple to pray in the morning wei, maybe it's getting rid of all the bad things around me all in one day so i can continue with a peaceful and successful life like i prayed for ! This is gonna be one long ass blog entry, possibly some of the language used would be unsuitable for minors, so just keep in mind. xD

Firstly, me n mummy went to the temple to pray in the morning, then mummy received a call from one of my aunts complaining that a certain cousin of mine has set his own mother up by accusing her of stealing his money! Apparently, this cousin insisted that he had 150 bucks and after my aunt walked outta his room, his money was gone. Alright, so here's a little history about the family. My aunt is actually his step mum, but trust me when i say that she has been taking care of the family in the best way that she can. She cooks, cleans, washes and looks after the house even though she has to watch over a 10 yr old who is dyslexic. Now, that is something to be commended for. She might not be the best wife or mother, but she is definitely the victim of bully in this family! So after she got accused of stealing, BOTH FATHER AND SON THREATENED TO MAKE HER LEAVE! Well, 2 words for you: FUCK YOU. How immoral can you be by doing this to your mum? After all the sweat and hard work she had to go through to look after the family, this is the kind of repayment you give her? Have u at least studied moral classes in school ??? Well, I'm pretty sure u failed every single part of that subject cos CLEARLY YOU HAVE NO MORALS. When my aunt told him to swear infront of the ancestral alter that he did not set her up, he got very defensive and refused to do it. Why? Guilty izzt? Afraid that you might get struck by lightning? Hey, you are gonna be struck my lightning sooner or later anyway, so what diff does it make huh?

Karma is a bitch. It will get to you whether you like it or not. It's very important for people to practice their morals. I strongly believe that retribution exisits. And from the way this son is treating his mother, even if you dont die a horrible death, u will suffer and rot in hell. I'm not being mean by cursing you, but im sure even if i told this horrific story to 100 ppl, they would all agree that this son deserves to be whacked. He has no respect for anyone in his family. Since you claim you are so rich and so popular, then just leave the house, get your own crib, your own maid and stop treating your mum like one ! The same goes for your jackass father. Tell him shut his trap and stop blaming my aunt for everything that doesnt go on well in his life. Even when he loses in gambling, he takes it out on my aunt! That is an act of a coward, not a man. He has no money, no respect for others, no morals, and definitely no humility, if im the god, i wont let you win 4D or jackpot cos you dont deserve it! Treat others with respect if you want others to respect you. So what if that's my uncle and my elder cousin, I despise you the same, cos honestly, the both of you are fcking assholes. YES, YOU !

Okay, off to the next drama of the day! Well, I've known for some time that these 2 ppl are not happy with me for wtv reason. I bliv their grudge about me has been going on for some time. So finally, they let it out last night. The whole thing began when my bf and the guys were having their car team meeting. They're also planning on starting a small business with car waxing and modifications. 5 of them are in this together and they will take out money for this business soon. Yes, I am not one of those that is investing in this business. Technically, ya it's not my business so some ppl think I should stay outta it. Firstly, I did not intentionally get myself involved this business. I was ASKED by my bf AND other members of the organization to come forward and give some suggestions. I am not saying that my suggestions are the best and the team needs it. No, I do not mean this. I'm just an extra suggestion giver, it's very simple, if u agree with what i say, then accept it. But if you dont like what im saying, u can just ignore my suggestions because anyway, I have no say in this business. It's just some extra ideas that I've heard from other car lovers and feel that it might be helpful to suggest to them. And here is what I want to clarify for the last time, only Seng Kar Wai (kw) alone, thinks that I should shut the fck up and fck off from ALL meetings. Please ask everyone else in the car team orgnization and you will know that only kw alone has this issue about me. So I really believe that this isnt just about me getting involved in the meetings, it's about his personal grudges against me.

Business is Business. Everyone knows that. We all must know how to seperate our personal issues apart from business issues. If personally, you do not like me around, you should not have involved it with this business. By walking out on everyone last night at the meeting does not make you look "cool" or more "superior", it makes you look immature and it shows that you are not professional enough for anything. If you are not happy about me being at meetings, then by all means just voice it out officially at the car meetings, and everyone can discuss about it. If every single person thinks that Madeline Toh should shut up and should not be allowed to show up for any car meetings, then yes, I will accept it and just leave. However, please take note that YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE ABOUT ME. I am quite sure all the other 4 guys don't see a problem with me or my attitude, but it's yours. I am not saying this without evidence, just go and ask Kh, Lek, Muyo and Onn. They ALL feel that KW is acting like he is boss, his attitude is not good in meetings and he should not have reacted that way about me during the meeting last night. Kw, YOU ARE A MAN , so please act like one. You are acting like a girl, very much like your gf as well.

I don't want to compare or compete with you 2 about who has more wrong, because that will just result in a never ending argument. But this is what I want to say:
It is very obvious that you 2 borrowed the chance of this car team meeting disagreement to voice out your personal grudges about me and my bf. Let's face it, from the start, you're not exactly angry about me being involved in the car team. It's something else and I dont give a shit what it is. But mixing up the business issue and your personal issues is NOT COOL. You have not only affected yourselves, you have affected my life as well as all the other guys who were in the business. Well,Congratulations cos now, you just made everyone dislike the both of you. Honestly, it does not have to turn out this way. Last night when I was "bombarded" by val, I very calmly replied you and told you to stay out of this. If it's your bf that is not happy with me, then he can come and deal with me and we can sort it out properly. Val, you obviously just wanted an excuse to fight with me and vent out all the frustration you have had about me all this while. I know you're not happy with me about wtv reason, but you could have chose another time to talk to me about this. Yet, you chose to bring it up together with the car meeting issues and mix all the problems into one ... You got yourself involved for no reason, and you even starting being personal with your sarcasm. Please la, you are not pisd that I got involved with car meetings, you are not pisd at my bf for fighting with your bf ... you are just pisd about issues of your own ... you have a problem with me and you just simply found an excuse to yell it all out.

I did not do anything wrong. And I'm quite sure this is not just what I think. Everyone involved in this situation have said that it's not my fault all this drama is happening. It's about the personal issue that the two of you have. It's about both your attitudes. Yes, I have been sarcastic back at you, but instead of yelling around like a bunch of crazy ppl, how about getting a clearer picture of the whole story first? Instead of finding out what the true situation is, based on your version the problem, everyone else has fallen victim to your ridiculous acts. Before you start another fight with me, do everyone a favor. Please please please ask everyone else what the complete story is and what the problem really is. It will not kill you to just spend some time and find out what the issue is all about. It will only take a couple of mins of your life. And after you have asked and found out the REAL truth, then maybe, just maybe, we can talk about this problem. However, if both of choose not to find out and want to live in your own world, or that you dont agree with the majority and feel that the both of you are 100000000% correct in this fight, then well, I have nothing more to say. I have other priorities in life.

One more thing. If I choose not to fight back, doesn't mean I am less capable than you. It's extremely childish of you to be comparing who will be able to win in a bitch fight. How old are you? Sounds like a 4 year old to me. No matter what I say, you have already set your heart on gunning me down and refusing to believe anything that comes outta my mouth. So what's the point of me fighting back with you when evidently, you will think you are the ultimate winner. I'm sick and tired of this bullshit. You can think that you are better or more capable, well, WHATEVER. Your life is damn sad. The only excitement you get is from bitching about the only friends you have. Well, I have other friends that are worth my time as compared to you. Unlike you, I dont backstab my girlfrens. Whatever you may think, I have never backstabbed you, I actually cared as a friend for what it's worth. But since you dont think so, then just forget it. I can definitely live with one less bitch in my life. Yeah, that's for calling me a bitch. For your info, I DID NOT CALL YOU A BITCH, yes my boyfren did, but that does not give you excuse to insult me 10 times more just bcos i'm his gf. Get your facts straight, find out what REALLY happened, it wont take you very long.

is there a reason why im thinking so much about everything lately? even though i tell myself not to think and just forget about it, somehow at some point of time ... it comes back to my mind and i find myself dwelling on it all over again ... being at the same stage of my life for the past few years, is it time to move on ? Well, evidently the answer is yes. The ultimate question is, How? Do i move on with this way of life or do i move on with the other option ? I really dont know which one i'll be happy with, or maybe one of the decisions i make will cause regret in me when i look back a few yrs from now ... however, is it necessary to let some things go in order for me to move on to achieve something better? Maybe im reluctant to let go cause ive been too comfortable with this way of life ... change seems like a troublesome process that im hesitant to go ahead with ... besides, im not even sure if whatever that comes after change is necessarily something i will be happy about ... follow my heart and do what i want ? i dont know what i want .. at times i would think this better and at times i would think that is better ... or is life simply working the way its suppose to be? nothing lasts forever and all good things will come to end ...do i leave it to my destiny and fate or is it up to me to create my own fate? trust me, if you would have asked me the same question some years back, i would definitely say that we make our own lives ... but now , i would say there's no control over what might happen in the future ... u could affect it, but not change something that was meant to happen ...

2010-08-11T13:31:00.003+08:00

ditched my blog again ! lol , sorry ... alot has happened over the past couple of weeks ... definitely a roller coaster ride ... anyway, a few days after muyo's birthday, i left for sg along with my baby boy ... he's the nicest ! He came and helped me with alot of stuff ... sigh , i really cant do without him ... after he left, i felt the stress and loneliness kick in ... the orientation week of school didnt help at all ... i have no idea what happened but basically i kept having mental breakdowns due to stress at school and my gastric wont stop acting up =( it's like the same thing all over again from many years back ... not only was i unhappy, i was stressed out and physically+mentally exhausted from the school's crazy timetable ... it's so ironic how i was extremely exciting to be going to arts school and learn acting for the next 3yrs of my life, but when the course started, it was nothing like i expected to do ... it was so different from what i did in NYFA ... apparently, i seem to be the only one who didnt know that the sch was famous for it's intensity and stress level... sigh, then it got me thinking ... if studying is already this exhausting on me , what about when im actually doing it in the real world? It's not that i dont like this anymore ... i still do like acting and if i could, i would love to have a career with it ... but maybe my body and my mind isnt cut out for this kind of work and stress ...

as if dealing with that wasnt bad enough, when i decided that i cant continue with the course anymore, i had to deal with explaining myself to thousands of ppl who wont stop asking me why and how and why and what im gonna do next ... i know there are ppl who think i didnt give it a good try or that i give up too easily ... some probably think im taking the easy way out cos i refuse to deal with it ... but instead of looking at my situation like this, why wont everyone think " oh my, maybe it really is that bad for her, pushing herself will drive her to the edge " ... but no, so far all the impression i've got is that they think madeline gave up too easily ... sigh , i know everyone is concerned, but i would really appreciate it if they spared me the interrogation ... this is my life and my future at stake, of course i'm a million times more anxious about it than any of u are ... i took a fall and now im going to find a solution that works out ... with everyone questioning me about my future life plans is not gonna help me think this better ... so pls just try and understand what im going through and be supportive in a decision that i can live happily with ...

2010-07-22T11:55:00.002+08:00

Happy birthday to Muyo Liong !!! lolx went to his party last night ... i got there at around 9pm and he was already drunk ... so by about 10.30pm, he was knocked out on his sofa already ... hahaha by far the shortest 21st bday party i've been to ... i thought it was gonna go on till about at least 1.30 in the morning but oh wells ... lol, baby boy had to work the next day anyway ... =)

exactly 2 days before i leave for singapore ... and since my plan is to work for mediacorp after i grad, then i guess i wont be moving back to malaysia anymore =( gahhh i dunno, my family is based in kl and so is he ... who knows where life will take me in future ... but at the moment , i think for at least the next 8 years or so, i wont be moving back ... im sad to leave msia but i hope to be back as often as i can ... but from what everyone else is telling me bout the workload in LaSalle ... SIGH keeping my fingers crossed !

2010-07-18T14:25:00.005+08:00

yesterday was one of the nicest weekends that i've had for a long time ... hehe got up at around 12pm and then headed over to clare bear's house at mont kiara for swimming ... it was nice to soak in the pool and just talk about random stuff ... it didn't have to be about anything specific, but chatting about just anything can be quite fun along with the girls =) i tried the steam bath for the first time yesterday, haha it was erm ... well hard to breathe i should say, but it made my skin feel really soft and supple after that ... felt nice !

after swimming then me and baby boy went to have steamboat buffet along with val, kw and tf ... this place called Tasty Pot at sunway ... i've passed by it multiple times but nv had the chance to try it and see how good it was ... the price was 26.90++ not including drinks , but they instead of just steamboat, they had alot of bbq-ed food like crabs, prawns, sotong, fish etc ... the crabs werent fresh at all, tasted powdery ... so ew , but the prawns and sotongs etc were good ! i guess it's fun to have food like this once in a while with a bunch of friends ...

so after dinner, i realised that last night was the last saturday that i was gonna have in malaysia before i went to singapore to study, so i very spontaneously decided we should go clubbing since it might be my last chance in a very long time ... we went to Sanctuary at the Curve and i opened a bottle of red vodka for all of us who went ... we didnt exactly sit inside the club where the music was blasting, we sat on the sofas outside at the balcony area... at least everyone could actually hear each other talking ... lol i'd rather have that instead ... anyway here are some pics =)

tf and new gf =D

I'm home ...

2010-03-04T18:32:00.002+08:00

Just got back yesterday ... the flight back was quite okay ... i actually managed to sleep for 10 hours on the first one ... haha which means it was a good flight ... my bf came to pick me at the airport and silly him, he waited at the departure halls for me (-.-)" ... we were on the phone for 5mins trying to figure out why i couldnt see him anywhere ... lol anyways , then i came home to take a shower and snuggle with my babies for a bit ... then went out for lunch =)

i'm not exactly jet lagged anymore ... fell asleep at around 11pm and got up at 11am ... guess that got rid of the jet lag pretty well ... haha .. I'm gonna play basketball with the guys later .. gotta start exercising now ... i lost weight while i was there but i havent done any exercise for a whole month there ... should start working out again ...

caryn called earlier asking if i wanted to do this unicef job thing ... sounds pretty flexible and the pay is good =) i might actually do it ... just wanna take a break for about a week first ... then i gotta start earning some cash ... I've decided to go on the company trip to bandung with my baby boy ... its about rm1200 for the whole trip, everything inclusive ... should be pretty broke after i pay for this ... MONEY PLS FALL ON MY FACE ! =D

2010-02-25T08:35:00.002+08:00

Happy Birthday to Me !!! =D I'm finally 21 !!!

Well this is far by the longest birthday I've had in all my life. Well the reason is bcos LA is 16hours behind the sg/msia timezone ... So from yesterday afternoon, it's been my birthday all the way up to 12am tonight ...

haha , anyways, I went for dinner with some frens at Chilis, oh awesome food they have there ... and Brooke got me a oreo cookies and cream cake with 21 candles on it ... haha lets hope my wish will come true then ... after that we went over to her apartment and chilled there for a couple of hours ... I had the biggest lollipop and it took me 2 n half hours to finish sucking it . Gawd, it made my jaw hurt after that ... XD ... came back to my place at about 4.30 in the morning and slept immediately all the way to 2pm just now ... it felt good, haha i dont think i had alot sleep since the filming on monday night ...

check out pictures on facebook peeps =) gotta head for a shakespeare class later ... i'm so lazy now , just wanna bunk in my bed all day ... (>.<)

2010-02-22T12:20:00.003+08:00

Just had my dinner ... made a simple salad with a dressing that i made myself ... hehe then i felt my salad was too plain so i went out to the store and bought some turkey ham to go with it ... greedy me ... haha

So anyways, today went by quite quickly ... I went for filming at 2pm, did a little love story film which was really cute ! Haha, i played the new gf of this guy who got dumped by his "almost" ex fiancee ... It's another short film by the 4 week digital group ... Hopefully by the end of this week, I would able to get all the films uploaded and posted on either facebook,youtube or here... =)

Gonna go shopping at Camarillo Premium Outlets with brooke tmrw ... FINALLY , we've been waiting for weeks to go on this shopping trip. But we've gotta be real quick, it's like a "ENTER-BUY-LEAVE-NEXT SHOP" kinda shopping ... haha we're pressed for time cos we have to make it back by 4pm to rush for our next shoot at Beverly Hills ... gonna play a cocktail waitress this time ... lol see the fun part about acting is when u can be alot of diff characters/roles ... but of course not everyone sees the hard work being put behind the scenes ...

Remember to check out my facebook for film updates !! =D

2010-02-18T14:43:00.002+08:00

Check out my latest short film at the New York Film Academy !

This is one of the short films that we did as part of our production workshop in school. This one is titled 'Treasure Hunt', I'm the treasure hunter and basically the story is about how she finds out that there's a part 2 to the treasure map. It was fun filming it but tiring at the same time ... Hope you guys enjoy =)

Another 16 days till maddie goes home =D

Time passed a little bit faster this week, maybe cos there were so many classes and so much work to do ! I have around 4 monologues to memorize this weekend but although not all of them are due next week, I really have to start cos the next weekend might be kinda packed for me. Classes started from 1-2 classes a day up to 3 classes a day .. so I'm basically in school from day to night ... Even though it's intense and tiring, but it's definitely a rewarding experience here. I doubt I'll learn this much stuff in 4 weeks anywhere else ...

There's no class or filming tmrw for me, so I'm hoping to go out and do something fun while the weather is still great. It's valentines day and the 1st day of cny today ... there wasn't a single bit of cny spirit here ... haha not surprising but it's a little sad for me .. sniff .. from facebook I saw that lots of ppl were complainin abt cny being boring this year, but cmon guys, at least u get to be with ur family and frens ... It's just me and stuffed toy this year ... =(

2010-02-09T07:38:00.002+08:00

22 more days till i get home !! pass faster days !! zoom zoom !! go by quickly so i can go home !!! (>.<)

the first week of classes is over, wow and i've learnt alot. it's kinda interesting how we actually knew alot of these stuff but i never thought of implementing them into my acting techniques. classes will start to get more intense, instead of having just one or two classes a day, im gonna start having 2 or more classes per day. production workshops run from 10am to 5pm everyday ... phew! well i hope it's good in the sense that i will be able to pass my time quickly, but i also hope that i can cope with the upcoming hard work ... today is monday , no classes on sunday/monday for me ... but tuesdays to saturdays are packed packed and packed ... i can do this !!

saw baby and bearbear on skype yday... they look so cute .. i miss them so much ... just wish i could have one of them to cuddle ... it'll definitely make me feel better ='(

2010-02-05T01:05:00.002+08:00

It's my 4th day of school today. The week went by quite okay, but classes were intense. Due to the fact that it's a 4 week accelerated course, there was alot to be learnt in each class. Lots of stuff to remember and memorise as well. (>.<) There's only one other girl in my class this semester, lol, unexpected number but she's great. Well at least I have a friend around here that can help me take my mind off things a little bit.

It's extremely tough holding everything together here all by myself. It was difficult once, and now is harder than ever. I try not to think about how bad it's gonna be, but somewhere in my heart, I cant help but feel the sadness and loneliness. Every morning and night it kicks in and it makes me miserable. ='(

I want to finish this and go home. Fast.

Life in LA

2010-01-31T01:14:00.002+08:00

Been in LA for almost 5 days now ... living all alone in a foreign country is so hard ... sigh, the first 2 days were the worst ... well and right now , I'm just not in the mood for anything ... Over the past few days I've been to the supermarket and this little mall down Burbank ... there's not really much for me to do without a car and friends around here ... I just hope school would be fun and making friends at school will make my life here alot more fun =)

I miss home. I miss my family. I miss him. sobx

2010-01-22T15:29:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was quite a hectic day. Not only did I go for my dental and facial appointments, I even managed to slot in a time to bake an american cheesecake with digestive biscuit base and later on still found the time to dye my hair with that japanese shampoo dye i bought from hongkong. LoL. Probably one of the most productive days in a long long time ... XD

Anyways, my hair was supposed to be a red-ish kinda color but as alot of u know, my hair is naturally brown and not black, so the color appeared diff than it should have like stated on the packaging. Under the light its a little bit red but it's more of a lighter brown that looks like highlights now ... haha wasn't expecting much from this hair dye cos its after all a shampoo type and it's effects are definitely not gonna be as good as creme dye , so ya ... But i kinda like this color =)

Cuzzies from sg coming over tonight for the weekend =D which means its gonna be a full speed party weekend cos knowing all of them ... haha well u guys get the picture ...

Counting down to LA in 5 days (>.<) I'm excited but scared of the homesickness and loneliness too ... Sigh

2010-01-21T00:47:00.002+08:00

Busy day tmrw ! Got a dental appointment early in the morning to clean my teeth, hmm might think about getting my teeth whitened. But I heard that its not good for ur teeth if u start whitening it =S

Afternoon, 2.30pm - facial appointment. Gahh havent gone for one of those in quite a few months. I think the last time was a month before I left for oregon. Hitting the big TWO now, "early signs of aging" gawd. time to start investing in those beauty products when I'm in LA ... >.<

Guess what. I was browsing the nyfa (new york film academy) website today cos i needed their address, and I saw this huge flashing box at the bottom of the web page saying " EARN YOUR BA HERE " ... then I was like "FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKKKK " ...
Well u see, the reason why i signed up for this 4 week course and not go for a degree course in nyfa was bcos they dint exactly have a Bachelors degree, the maximum they had was an Associates. So while i was there being all " damn it, fck! shit !! " , i saw that they're first intake is gonna be in Sept 2010. Then all of a sudden this became awesome news. Cos rmb I was going to apply to LaSalle in sg , but if i didnt get accepted i didnt know where to go cos i dont have a Plan B to my education. But u know what ?? I so do now !! They have the exact kinda course i wanna do and its just awesome !! =)

Well we shall just see where life takes me but just to be safe and not waste my time for another year, im gonna be applying to both schools. At least this short course will benefit me more now cos i get to experience what its like to do a full degree in nyfa before actually enrolling for it. Hooray =D

2010-01-18T01:41:00.002+08:00

figure out what u want and get over it, im sick and tired of having to deal with this shit over and over again.

i want to solve it with u. i tried to solve it with u. turns out u dont want me to solve it, u just want me to listen and pretend everything is okay so u can feel better.

yes i can make u feel better, anytime sure, but that's not gonna solve ur problem and hence, OUR problems.

and since u say u cant get over yourself, then im sorry but u aint gonna be hearing from me.

2010-01-16T13:05:00.005+08:00

Just got back from Cherating yesterday afternoon ... for some reason the drive back took 30min longer than the drive to there =S and i think they changed the routes cos the last time i went with Alex, we exited at Exit833 and got there by following road signs all the way, but this time, my bf and i drove all the way to a dead end and saw ONE sign that said "Cherating" and couldnt really find our way there ... I had to find the stupid place based on memory and luck of accidentally bumping into the right road signs -.-"

But nonetheless, we got there within 3hrs, which was ironically faster than when I went with Alex about half a yr ago ... lol weird huh ... Anyways, Cherating was awesome as usual =D i absolutely LOVE the beach cos its so private and CLEAN ... i think a couple of more families were there besides us, we practically had the whole seashore to ourselves =) with a picnic mat laid out (which was actually the Twister mat cos i lost my real picnic mat) and refreshing drinks, we really had a great time. The best part about the whole trip? Both of us only spent about rm500 including petrol, toll, accommodation, seafood dinners etc ... it would be even cheaper if more ppl came along with us to split the petrol and food and stuff ...

pictures are on facebook but here's a sneak peak =)

crashing waves

shot in mid air XD

sandcastle built with love <3

yay to the beach =D

2010-01-12T13:21:00.002+08:00

I'm back from hk =) didn't really buy much clothes there cos I'll be heading to LA the end of the month anyway, shopping there is waaaayyy better and much more worth it . Bought lots of food back tho. Went to the bakery to buy "bo lo bao" before I came back. haha but by the time those buns got to msia, they were flat and not crispy on the top anymore, but nonetheless, it was good.

The tour guide ordered "Yuen Long" wife biscuits for us too, probably the best tasting wife biscuits I've ever tried ! The filling wasnt too sweet and it had this really nice chewy texture to it =D the ones from the other biscuit shops were either too sweet or didnt have enough filling ... I was in hk for 4days3nights but I only managed to walk around for 2 full days. Went to "mongkok" and "tong luo wan" with my sis ... took the train everywhere we went ... my legs were so close to breaking (>.<) the only thing i was glad i bought were my pair of new black winter boots =D awesome pair , hehe can bring it with me to LA too ...

Will be heading to cherating tmrw with my boyfriend .. hehe yes another holiday trip ... think I've been travelling alot lately ... but i have nothing else to do anyways , may as well have some fun while i still can =)

2010-01-06T18:24:00.002+08:00

Heading out for dinner later with my boyfriend to help him celebrate his birthday, heh, well today isnt his bday but cos I'm going to hk tmrw that's why I'm gonna have early dinner with him. I have surprises all lined up for him !! lol i prolly sound more excited than he is ... but the bottomline is, I'm very sure he's gonna be very happy although I'm not gonna be there to celebrate the actual day with him ... the big surprise should get him jumping up in the air ... XD

I have to leave to the airport at around 6am tmrw .. going to hongkong till this sunday (^.^) cant wait to eat all the dimsum, roast pork and egg tarts ! yum yum ... so many ppl have asked me to get wife biscuits... guess i gotta take back many many boxes this time ... =P

2010-01-04T23:31:00.003+08:00

Just got my passport back from the US embassy. I think what i'm about to say is kinda expected since I got that shit officer. My visa is due to expire on the 27th of feb which is the EXACT last day of my classes in LA, how the hell am i suppose to leave the country BEFORE that date ?? Seriously man, besides calling him a anal retard, i dont know what else to say. By right I should have 60 days to remain in the country after my graduation date, I'm not sure if that's counted as part of the period stated in the student visa I got. And besides, the officer agreed to give me a 2 month visa when I was interviewing. He changed it without informing me. Wtf is your problem huh?

It's a new year !!! Firstly, I just wanna wish that may this year bring lots of happy moments and success for myself, and may everyone around me be blessed with awesome luck as well XD

Speaking about the new year, let's talk about something that happened to me on the last day of 2009 which officially ruined the entire year for me (T-T) I'm going to LA for a month plus for that short course at the New York Film Academy right. So the initial plan was for my boyfriend to come along with me and we shall spend CNY, valentines and my 21st birthday there for the month of feb. Since malaysians needed a visa to enter the US, we went to apply for our visas together. (mine was the student visa) Anyways, so we happily went that morning with all the hopes of enjoying a month together in LA, but sadly, his visa was rejected. =(

Putting aside the fact that i was fckin disappointed and upset, I felt that the visa officer was biased and didnt handle this situation fair enough. A usual interview would request that applicants show their employment letter, payslip, bank accounts, air tickets, hotel bookings etc. Cos they wanna ensure that ppl are really going there for holidays and not for illegal work. So we had ALL the documents my boyfriend could ever need to show. There was more than enough proof that he will be there for holiday only and he WILL come back. But the officer only saw his payslip and bank book and he immediately rejected his application without even asking how we were going to fund for this trip. It is procedural that he MUST ask how, but he didnt even ask and was so eager to get us outta the embassy.

I also felt that the fcked up officer had something against my boyfriend cos of the way he spoke to him. When I interviewed first everything was okay, then when it was his turn, that officer was so mean !! He looked at his job position and asked him ...

Officer: You have no degree, so how come you can become a Network Engineer ?
Boyfriend: I had 2 yrs of working experience and someone introduced me to this job
Officer: So, like, you FRIEND introduced you ?? ** with annoying expression **

Who the fck asks questions like that ?!?! That is totally discriminating !! And as if that wasn't bad enough, this happened ...

Officer: Do you have a bank account ?
Boyfriend: I'm sorry I didnt hear you, pardon ?
Officer: YOUR BAAAAAAAANNNKKKK ACCCOOOOOUUUUNNNNTTTT **with annoying face again"

WTF MAN , i felt so offended just watching that interview. -.-" Before we could do ANY explaination of how he was gonna fund for this trip or proof that we will be just on holiday, that stupid officer kept saying " ITS OVER, PLEASE LEAVE, BYE BYE " . wth man, I couldnt say anything at all except " but ... BUT .... " it was really disappointing and completely unfair. sigh, well I guess we were unlucky for getting this noob officer. He was clearly new cos he had to ask his colleagues behind him what he should do about stuff. (-.-)" He only gave me a 2 month visa which doesnt make sense because I'm allowed to remain in the US for 60days AFTER i complete my 4 week program, so a 2 month visa isnt gonna be enough for me. When I asked about it, he said " Well ur only there for a 4 week program, u dont need that much time" . WTF. geex what an unlucky encounter.

But anyways, now I gotta prepare for the LA trip all by myself and get ready to spend the 3 most anticipated occasions of the whole year, ALONE .
Thanks to the doughnut overdosed officer at the US Embassy. COUNTER 6 ON 31ST DECEMBER 2009, 7.40AM APPOINTMENT SLOT. YES YOU !!! IF YOU EVER READ THIS, YOU ARE A BIASED, DISCRIMINATING ANAL SON OF A BITCH !!! I HOPE YOUR WIFE AND KIDS LEAVE YOU AND SOMEDAY, YOU WILL SPEND VALENTINES DAY AND YOUR BIRTHDAY ALL ALONE FUCKER !!!

Had ALOT of bbq-ed food last night (>.<) oh but the food was gooooood ... esp the super big and juicy la la that we bought from the supermarket, it was probably the most "shiok" thing that i had all night .. haha .. i got a CK deodorant from the gift exchange, guess that benefits my baby boy after all ... lol ... lost pretty badly at a drinking game and quickly halted before i ended up puking all over the floor ... XD

Everywhere was pretty much crowded today since its christmas, so my cousins and i decided to go sing k for the whole afternoon ... and mind u , i had already lost half my voice, so after springing a couple of high notes, i had officially lost my voice. Now, i sound like a man . LOL i'd rather text than make phone calls these days so pls cooperate ppl ... haha

Going to visit my aunt tmrw at the buddhist society, after that will do more SHOPPING !! Finally able to do some shopping here since the christmas sales are still around =)

Merry Christmas everyone =D

Merry Christmas

2009-12-22T22:59:00.002+08:00

In sg for christmas !!! Weeeeeeee !!! Just wished that my baby boy was here to celebrate xmas with me too ... *sobx* There's gonna be a party on xmas eve, and accompanying that would be the long lost family christmas tradition ... " The Gift Exchange "

lol we used to do that every xmas up to a couple of years back when everyone ran outta ideas of what to buy, but since its been quite some time since we last did it, then it should be pretty fun this time =) gift budget is between $20-$30 . Does anyone have any suggestions for me ?? The gift must be practical, unisex and suitable for people of ALL ages, which makes it soooo difficult to buy !! Hopefully i can find something by tmrw at Orchard ...

~** Merry Christmas Everyone ** ~

2009-12-19T00:29:00.001+08:00

(T-T) just spent the whole night filling up visa forms for the LA trip for me and my baby boy, man that's tough work i tell you. all the forms just ask for information that i dont even remember since god knows when. (>.<) maybe that's partly where all the pimples are coming from. STRESS.

gonna go to bed soon after i'm done with the aloe vera collagen mask =D let's just hope this works

nitex peeps

time to revive the blog

2009-12-15T16:19:00.002+08:00

Ok it's been tooooo long since I last blogged. I'm lazy, i know. (>.<)

The last post was just ranting about my homesickness in Oregon but now I'm back here. Haha. Home sweet Home. Many people still dont know I'm back, or cant figure out if I'm back. Well, yes I came back about 6 weeks ago or so . Don't get me wrong, Oregon is a lovely place, but things just didnt work out for me academically. The graduation requirements were very much different from what I expected, so after weighing out the cost and benefits, pros and cons etc, I figured that it could be more worth it to pursue my passion of all time after all. =)

Before deciding to major in psychology, most people know that drama and film is my passion. I've always loved drama in GIS and had the energy to work hard for it. It's something that kept me accelerating all the time. Next feb, I will be in Universal Studios LA at the ' New York Film Academy ' for their 4 week Acting for Film program. When I'm done with that, I will audition for the LaSalle College of Performing Arts in Singapore. But due to the fact that their intake only happens once a year in august, I dont wanna be wasting my time slacking around, so apart from being in LA for about 6 weeks, I think i might pick up extra classes or find a job in sg to start getting used to the life back there ... I really hope I get into LaSalle, they're the best performing arts school in Singapore and one of the top in the world, plus only 16 students are accepted every year ... it's really tought competition, so wish me luck people !!

Hmm , heading out to Jontah's restaurant for dinner later with my family. Yum yum. Drooling just by thinking of the "la-la soup" . =D

2009-09-24T13:28:00.001+08:00

Everyone left me as of today. Sobx, mum and sis went back a couple of days ago ... and rou went back today ... =( Beginning to feel the homesickness kicking in ... never felt this bored and empty since a long time ... haha ... kept finding stuff to do, such as vacuuming the house, organising my room, cooking etc ... but time still seemed to pass slower than usual ... SIGH i really miss being back home where I know everyone else and actually have ppl to hang out with, or even SHOPPING MALLS to go to ... sheesh ... valley river centre is just boring ... sobx

pls let the hols come soon ... =(

first post in ages

2009-09-17T14:24:00.002+08:00

ok i know i havent posted in ages, i probably will start posting for a while but then stop posting again, but wtv, i feel like it right now . so yea . XD

being in eugene is a completely new experience for me, everything here is very diff from back home. well i've been a city girl all my life, so the sudden transit to a school town can be a little bit hard to deal with, not to mention the culture shock, but i guess im doing okay for the time being. heh.

i just a new place to live in, its soo sweet. its a double storey townhouse on the 2nd floor with 5bedrooms, at the moment there's only me and 2 other girls who have rented the place ... but now im the only one stayin in there with my mum, sis n cuz so it can be a little bit scary at night =S well, the area is surrounded by university students, campus area, ok to put it in a more understandable way, its party haven for the kids in school . XD can be a lil noisy at night, but least we know there's ppl around and its not so scary ... cos the area gets VERY quiet at night ...

Today was my first day of ISO, ehhh was a lil bit draggy cos we had to go over the schedule most of the time ... but taking a tour around campus was nice ... its really like in the movies where u have grass patches u can sit on during lunch time n picnic there while waiting for ur next class ... haha except that its cloudy n can be rainy here ... not all sunshine everyday ...

I'm quite homesick . and i miss msian food . ALOT . i miss baby n bearbear ... i miss my baby boy ... i miss EVERYTHING LAH !!
T-T

I just wanna have a good time in Europe !!! Pls pls pls pls let everything be good =D

My dad cant find his leica camera charger (as usual), and we're not taking his huge canon camera cos we found out that it isnt very safe there ... apparently crime rates are much higher there ... many thefts and pickpockets ... so I'm just taking my old canon ixus camera, not awesome but good enuf ... it's so important to look good in those pictures ! This might be my once in a lifetime oppotunity to visit france and italy ... cos I'll never know if i have the money or chance to go in future ... well so its best to cherish what im priviledged to now =)

I dont think i can bring back any gifts for anyone =S mainly bcso everyth is soooooo expensive there ... my plan is just to get a pair of designer sunglasses and a handbag, purse maybe .... but of course i will bring back chocolates and biscuits ... I was hoping to da bao some baguettes home , hahaha , but i dont think i can ... maybe some pastries from the milan airport ?? XD

Woah been almost 2weeks since I last blogged ... haha been lazy, but not like alot of ppl read my blog anyways ...

So here's what happened over the past few weeks ... actually nth much ... haha

8th of April
for the first time, i got up at 6.30am in the morning and went to kiara park at taman tun to job with my mum, aunt, sister and my dear baby tagged along too ... hehe it was very nice of him to spend the entire day with me and my family ... we also had a bbq with muyo and nat that night ... guess how many bbq marshmellows we had ?? hehe ... but a pity was that the choc in which we melted for fondue eventually turned chunky n powdery ... ew , but it still tasted quite good =D

11th of April
My whole family went for ching ming a lil later than usual this year, cos it was so that more of my relatives could gather and we could go pray for my grandpa at nirvana memorial centre ... i swear the place is like a tranquility park or smth ... it had beautiful flowers and trees plus many buddha sculptures all around ... it really isnt the kinda feeling that you would get from a cemetary ... haha

Well, i have an interview this wed at tumbletots the curve, they said they wanna observe me for one class before evaluating my performance to see if i'm employed ... hehe basically im gonna become a "playologist" and watch the babies and play/read with them ... i needa work on weekends but since i have so much time anyways , why not right . =) lets hope i get the job

Also, when my lil cousin came from penang to stay with us, i dunno how but he managed to find one of my really old sunglasses , so i made him pose with it . wahaha . have a look

Yesterday and the day before was my parents' birthdays. Yeah they have their birthdays one day after the other, sweet right ? XD On my mum's birthday, we celebrated it during dinner at Mizu Jap fine dining in bangsar village. The food was really really good, although the bill came to be a blast, but we had a great time =) It's been a long time since we had such quality family time together. So here are some pics on that day:

daddy and his little girl ^^

mum and sistaa

I made a brownie cake for mummy that afternoon

bear bear : "argh, no pictures pls "
baby : " cake cake cake cake !! "

dad looks like some foreign worker XD
too much sun at terengannu site for work

The next day, dad invited some of his friends and company staff to celebrate his birthday together. We had steamboat at home and lots of food to eat ! yum yum .

the cake is pandan flavour with some cream and red beans inside. its really good. from Orange Zone bakery in kota damansara

everybody say cheeze =D

My last western cuisine class at Taylors

2009-03-28T15:05:00.001+08:00

Today was my last class at Taylors PJ for my western cuisine course. Thinking back about my first class, and my finger incident, LOL, i should really say that i have made much improvement ! Well at least i know how to cut vegetables skillfully without slicing parts of my finger off. Heh. We also have this graduation ceremony that's happening next month.

Anyways, here are some pics of the stuff that i cooked today ^^ drool people.

Pan seared cod fish with lemon butter sauce

Rib eye with port wine sauce served with zucchini

Braised chicken leg in white wine sauce and caramelized shallots

Jogoya was such a disappointment

2009-03-26T01:52:00.003+08:00

I just celebrated my 2nd year anniversary yesterday night at Jogoya in Starhill. Well, my anni was awesome but i had to say that my experience at jogoya was sort of crappy. I've heard so many people comment on how great it was and had high hopes for it, but sadly, its really overrated. So i've done a lil analysis of what's good and bad there.

Wow points of Jogoya:

the mini seafood hotpot was really tasty. i tried the miso soup base and the seafood were fairly fresh. the restaurant was kinda cold so the hot soup really made me comfortable.
the red bean pau was probably the softest pau i've eaten in my life man !
dessert consisted of haagen daaz ice cream so that's undoubtedly good
sashimi was quite fresh too, there were many types of sashimi
free flow of red/white wine as well as other alcoholic beverages

Crappy points of Jogoya:

the service at the reception was very bad ! the receptionist couldnt even speak english properly and were not polite at all
the cups, plates and other cutlery at the restaurant were soooo dirty !! there were even stains of food/drinks/sauce of the previous user
the chefs at each station of food looked like they couldnt be bothered to be there
ALL , and i seriously mean ALL of the readily cooked food at Jogoya SUCKED. Firstly, most of the food were cold and hard. Secondly, it doesnt taste good . I felt that Shogun in one u had much better quality cooked food than Jogoya
there were only 4types of sushi at the sushi section; that's equivalent to no variety at all
the chawanmushi (steamed japanese egg ) had ONE overcooked prawn in it; no fishcake, chicken or even mushrooms !
the fresh oysters were not fresh. how ironic

Honestly , I was very very disappointed with my experience. Ever since I've heard of the restaurant, there were only good comments about it . But then again, those people who told me about Jogoya hadnt been there in almost a year. Perhaps its due to the economical issue happening around the world, it has also affected the food quality there. But still !! It certainly wasnt worth me and my bf paying RM180 for that meal as well as the service that we got.

I also thought that during these times of economical depression, malaysians would be saving up and having their own economical issues to deal with. But judging from the crowd at Jogoya on that weeknight, I dont think that anyone is gonna believe me when i say that malaysia's economy is suffering. People are willing to spend almost 100bucks per person for a meal and still be smiling the whole way through. Does it look like any of these malaysians are being adversely affected ??

2009-03-20T17:32:00.002+08:00

I'll be going down to singapore tmrw for the weekend =) will be back on monday evening ... my dad wants to go back to visit his cousin (who is my uncle too) and is planning on buying loads of fresh salmon back ^^ yum yum ... I've tried those that were caught and made into sashimi within an hour and it tasted soooooo fresh !! And after trying that, it's really not that difficult to tell the freshness of salmon sashimi from then on ...

My anniversary is coming up soon =) 24th of March 2009 = Our 2nd year anniversary
It's been so great to have come this far and I really hope we have many more years to go
I love you

2009-03-12T01:02:00.002+08:00

bought a betta fish and my baby boy bought 2 mini puffer fishes
happy birthday to kw
anxiously waiting for university replies !!!
no cooking classes until 28th march =(
must bake cheesecake soon !

2009-03-03T00:59:00.002+08:00

I probably never saw this issue coming at all. Or rather, it was the least of my expected problems when it comes to being in a relationship. I know of many friends who have had similar problems, but slightly different from mine. I dont know if I should say that my problem is better or worse, cos its hard to measure the severity of stuff like that. Well, this issue has been loitering around for quite some time, but it nv really posed as a major problem, at least not until recently.

I know my parents haven't been the most supportive pair when it comes to their daughters dating, this applies to both me and my sister. For my dad, he just cant be bothered about such stuff because he's got too much work to do. So fine -.-" . As for my mum, she thinks that all relationships that my sister or i go thru at this point of life is mere puppy love and that none of it is serious, therefore, she doesnt need or want to even support it. I understand that im not talking about marriage here, so i can just leave her to whatever she wants to think.

HOWEVER

Recently, ive come to realise that im reaching a point where i might have to take sides, between my relationship and my family. Dont worry yet, no fight broke out, but I think im close to breaking down. Wtv im going to say next wont change about how i love parents because they have brought me to where i am today. But still, there are issues.

My parents dont hate my bf, but they dont like him either. Like i said earlier, my dad cant be bothered about stuff like this, which is why he doesnt give a shit about my bf or anything that happens between us. When i try to score some points for my bf by telling my dad about how he got promoted at a new company and is now in charge of several departments; my dad ignores it. YES IGNORE. But u know wat bugs me the most ? My dad has never asked anything about him, but last night, he spent 15min (this is ALOT of time from my dad) talking to my sister about her bf and his family background, what does his dad do , how is he in australia etc etc. And so it makes me think, do I have to date someone related to a multi-million dollar company before my dad actually sits and asks about my bf ?? Because apparently, the reason my dad is interested in asking anything about my sister's bf is bcos his family background will make u go " wow, really? " .

From the start, I have never commented or judged anything about my bf's family status, cos i dont feel that it matters. Clearly, they may not be entitled to many luxuries that my family has been entitled to, but hey, they're a great family. His parents have been so nice to me since I started dating him. For most family events, i'm always invited and warmly welcomed. His mum doesnt say much, but always makes an effort to ask if i wanted to stay for dinner. His dad is cool, and occasionally talks to me about how im doing at school etc. See these lil actions mean alot. For those who are dating and parents are involved, u will damn right know what im talking about.

So how have my parents treated my bf in return ?

Just a few weeks ago, my mum just told me that my bf has no right to step into her house unless she says so. And we have been dating for almost 2 years, she said this only a few weeks ago. Oh yea he gets invited to our rare family occasions, but not because she wants to be nice to him, but because there is too much food and an extra person to clean up the extra food wont be a bad idea. During cny, we get many hampers from my dad's friends, and there are lots of snacks and food that we do not eat. So what happens to the stuff that we dont want ? Sure! Go ahead and give it to my bf, his family will clear these snacks away. Alright look, i understand that since we are not going to eat those snacks and throwing them away will be a waste of food, so fine, give it to someone who will finish them, let's not waste food right ? Ok fine fine. But hello ?? What do u think my bf is ? A garbage dump where u can throw away your unwanted food at ?? It's the attitude that she has that really gets on my nerves.

And that's not it ! My mum has a number of friends who happen to like me alot. Very nice aunties and i like them too. You see, the problem is, they have sons who are too damn capable. So wat does this lead to?
Mum: aunty smth has a son who is so good at what what what and is going to become something so what what what and maybe you should get to know them too !!
My mum can talk about her friends' sons, i really dont mind, but i really really mind alot when it goes too overboard. When it goes to the extent where i can sense that my mum is hinting me to drop this relationship and search for something better, it pisses the hell outta me. If she honestly thinks that relationships I have at my age right now is not going to last until marriage, then why is she hinting that i should get something better? Since apparently there is no so called "good relationship" at my point of life now.

I am not asking for anything much. I am not asking that my parents and my bf get so close that they can play monopoly or scrabble together or smth. NO thats not what im asking for. All i want is for my parents to show some support for their daughter because very evidently, their daughter has had a great time for the past 2 years. And she is so happy with this guy who loves her so much and is working so hard for their future which may or may not happen. But who cares? He's trying anyway ! So why cant my parents show some support. I'd appreciate it if my mum stop despising him because of his family status and i'd appreciate it if my dad actually said hi to him politely the next time he drops by my house.

Everytime my bf feels upset and inferior becos of my parents, i would always have something to say to comfort him. But a few days ago, he told me that no matter what he does, he's still going to be a nobody to my parents. And then i got stuck, i really didnt know what to say. Because as a matter of fact, he is a nobody to them. And it sux for me to know that my parents dont give a shit about him, because honestly, he doesnt deserve that kinda treatment. My bf has genuinely loved me and treated me well for as long as i've been with him, and the least my parents could do is to be nice. Even if they disliked him, they should have manners and show that little bit of respect that every human being deserves to have. I will say, with all the audacity in the world, that my bf has done nothing whatsoever to deserve the shitty treatment from my parents. THERE I SAID IT !

But so what if i said it here. i cant tell my parents. i cant bring up this topic at all. all that my baby and i can do is just pretend that this problem doesnt exist and continue our relationship as usual. To be honest, i dont have the confidence to say that this guy is the only one who i will be spending the rest of my life with, cos no one knows what will happen in the future. Im not saying that i dont love him enough to walk down the road, but we have to accept that things may or may not change in ways that we would never have anticipated. Sometimes i feel so vulnerable and useless when it comes to this problem. I dont have the confidence to stand up against my parents to fight for the change, but neither do I have the courage to walk my bf through these obstacles. My parents will always be my parents and my bf now will always be the one who uplifted me from the darkest times. I love you. Both .

Happy Birthday Maddie

2009-02-24T00:25:00.002+08:00

Happy birthday to me =)

For some reason, I wasnt very excited about this birthday. I have always been the girl who MUST have a celebration of some sort when my birthday comes, but for this year, I'm not really in the mood to do so. Why? I dont know why ... its just a "mood-less" feeling ... I cant think of what to do, where to go, or something to pamper myself with on this day ...

Oh wells, im going to port dickson in the morning anyways with my baby boy ... Maybe he can spark my birthday up ^^

2009-02-19T14:11:00.002+08:00

Last sat was my very first class at taylors doing the international cert in western cuisines ... so i very happily and excitedly went to the kitchen and started my class ... all was good and i found the class interesting ...

Timeline of the whole incident :

- The first thing we had to do was slice a young mango and some chillis for the mango salad on the menu ... so i went back to my space and den took the chilli and wanted to slice it ...

- as the knife went down to cut the chilli into half ... GUESS WHAT ? the knife slipped and sliced a piece of flesh off my finger instead ...

- so den of course i started bleeding and i was like " Oh? ok , lets go wash my hand den " ... Which i did ...

- den the blood wouldnt stop , it just keept dripping and dripping and i ran my finger below the tap ...

- my vision got darker and blurrer and then " BLACK OUT" . I fainted due to overbleeding .

- When i woke up , my chef lecturer was wrapping my finger up but the blood still hadnt stopped ... i had no idea that i fainted !!

- According to the chef, this happens to many people. Even himself ! LoL but worst cases happen so mine is considered someth small ...

Anyways, here's a pic of my sliced up finger :

EWWWW must be ur first reaction right ? or probably OUCH !!! ... lol ...oh wells , guess i really made an impression at class that day ... =) i will go back .. dont worry , this time i'll try not to bleed ...

My mum's fren sent me an email with a lil quote of the day, and i found it quite meaningful =)

So here goes ...

" Whatever u give to a woman, she will make greater. If you give her a house, she will give u a home. If you give her a sperm, she will give u a baby. If u give her groceries, she will give u a meal. If u give her your smile, she will give u her heart. She multiplies and enlarges whatever u give her.

So if u give her crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit . "

Haha ... kinda true izznt it ??

I was back from my taipei trip a few days ago but didnt have the time to blog about it. The whole trip was pretty fun, lots of food to eat and great quality time with my family ! once a yer ! yay ?? Well, better than none ... but anyways, here's some pics on how the whole trip went ...

When we arrived at the Taipei airport, smth bad happened =( somebody opened my sister's and mum's luggage before it reached the belt. Lucky for my mum, nth was missing. But for my poor sister, she lost all her ang pow many that she got from singapore the day before . LoL . Why did she have her ang pow in her luggage ? Well, she thot it was safe to lock it in dere, but I guess not.

So anyways, not only did the person steal the money, the theif threw the torn red packets into someone elses luggage !! (O.O) i know right ? Geex, as stealing wasnt bad enuf, he/she/it had push the blame to someone else. What an ass.

see the torn red packets ??

making a complaint at the 'lost and found' for SQ

Our hotel was Ambassaor Hotel, it's quite a nice place, rather convenient too. We were 10mins away from the shopping hotspots such as 西门町 (xi men ding shopping arcade) ，士林夜市 (ShiLin night market)，101 大厦 (famous 101 storey high office+shopping building) etc ... Upon our arrival, we saw a daily lion dance performace at the lobby too ...

im pretty sure this was a man who stuffed his boobs

very proffesional lion dancers =)

On Day 1, we only had the night left so we decided to head down to ShiLin night market for dinner, sadly, not many of the stalls were open because most ppl dere were at home for reunion dinner ... But some stalls were open =)

Here's a traditional oyster - egg - pancake thingy 蠔仔煎 (in hokkien u pronunce it "o - ah - jian" ... It's slightly diff from the ones we have here. They have this extra peanut tasting sweet sauce on top .

On the table are soup dumplings (汤包）, its similar to the xiao long bao except that this has more soup and the skin is slightly thicker. It's yummy stuff !!!

Day 2, we went to Xi Men Ding for shopping and food. My dad found many japanese restaurants filled with people, so we decided to go in and try the sashimi and oh boy boy boy was it the best sashimi in the world !!! U guys know how thin the slices are when u eat sashimi at sakae sushi right ... But the ones we had there were at least 3cm thick !!! And it was sooooo fresh and soooo gooooood !! Mmm ... plus it was extremely worth it because for what we ate in the picture below, it was only rm 42 !!!!

yum yum =D

RM 42 for this sashimi platter ( this is half eaten btw )

As we were shopping down the streets of Xi Men Ding, we saw the famous Ah Zong Mee Sua ( 阿宗面缐）and a long line of ppl queing for it. Of course we had to try it too !

A nice hot bowl of mee sua in the cold winter XD

ok it felt nice to have something warm alright ...

the streets of Xi Men Ding and my crazy family =D

the best roti canai ever tasted !! and guess wat ? they dont even needa flip it !

these are REAL chocolate and candy that i bought from a shop . looks pretty real huh . haha

The rest of the trip was more or less the same . Shopping and eating then shopping and eating again ... put on quite some weight when i was dere (T-T) time to diet again ... SIGH ...

2009-01-23T13:55:00.002+08:00

heading to singapore tmrw, after which i'll be going to taipei on sunday morning =) cant wait to eat all the yummy food at ShiLin night market !!!! i heard that there's too much food for one person to actually finish trying ... so im guessing me and my sister will just take a bite outta every snack/dish . LoL. it's winter there, and kinda rainy, but i hope the weather will be good when we're there. Dont wanna be stuck in the hotel or in a shopping mall all the time. Winter fashion is going on, so i assume there's nothing much that i can get there to wear here in msia under the hot hot sun ...

wont be bringing my laptop on this trip , doubt i'll be updating my blog until i come back ... so happy chinese new year everyone !! =D

2009-01-13T14:05:00.002+08:00

Here's a common fighting scenario between a couple. So let's judge who has more reason huh.

Boy : Fine, i'll quit smoking by tomorrow

Girl : That's what you always say

Boy : Whatever

Girl : Don't talk to me like that when all i want is just a little sacrifice from you

Boy : Yeah yeah ...

Girl : Why is it so difficult or so unwilling of you to do something that can make both of us very happy from now on ?

Boy : I already told u i was gonna quit. But u didnt trust me

Girl : How can i trust u when ur talking like this and have a bad record of breaking promises ?

Boy : Whatever, i dont even wanna talk to u anymore. A waste of my time

Girl : So all this is a waste of your time ? I am simply asking for a small sacrifice but I cant even get it without having to put up with all this

Boy : I told u i will quit , but i'm not going to do this for you, im doing this for myself. For my own health reasons

Girl : Oh. So doing it for yourself appeals so much more to you but doing it for me is simply a bother

Boy : *ignores and cant be bothered to reply anymore*

Girl : *rotting in her own sorrows*

Alright , so here's my personal analysis of this.

From the boy's point of view, he probably thinks that smoking isnt such a big deal and doesnt understand why girls get so pisd off about this issue all the time. He thinks that his gf is making a big fuss over a small issue, and due to his temper, he cant be bothered to deal with this when he is also pisd off. To him, quitting smoking is not such a noble sacrifice, it is simply about not being able to light that stick and "relieving" stress" anymore. DAMN , its just a cigg , what's the big problem ??

From the girl's point of view, the issue here obviously isnt about the smoking anymore. It is a matter of proving how much the boy loves her and is willing to sacrifice for her. As we go back to the conversation and quote " Boy : i'm not doing this for you, im doing this for myself " , we can may as well understand how hurt the girl is feeling. After much that she has willingly done for him in the relationship, she expects something more than this. Although it is true to not ask for anything in return in what we call "true love", but let's face it, we're in the real world and therefore the girl blivs that she certainly deserves a right to be treated better than this. Or at least, deserving a better attitude and reaction from the boy. She feels upset, disappointed, angry and feeling like a complete fool to have actually thought that HE was actually worth it . Think again babe.

So what do you people think ?

2009-01-12T13:10:00.003+08:00

On 7th jan, we celebrated my baby boy's bday at this serviced apartment in kl. Lots of ppl came and the house was too small, not to mention the number of seats available for everyone, so many ppl ended up standing the whole night. Heh, sorry. Well I was the busiest of all !! All i could remember from the party was me making pizzas, washing dishes, sweeping the floors due to peanut shells some brainless people threw on the floor instead of using plates/dustbins/plastic bags/cups . Look at the many options there are! Hmm , i wonder who. Probably the same ignorant person who grabbed a piece of the cake without BEFORE my bf blew out the candles. Hmm, i wonder who. Anyways, it was a memorable moment and a great night for him, so here are some pictures.

Here's the pizza toasting in the oven.

Alright, i knew they were close frens, just not THAT close

outside the apartment

yea dude u better thank me for eveyth

yummy chicken wings that his mum made

ew. ok gross .

sisters and brother

the colleagues

the awesome cake that cost me 200 bucks. yup. the one with the F1 track and cars =)

2009-01-06T23:56:00.002+08:00

Ok i'm only doing this cos ww asked me to do it. Anyways, here goes, 10 random things about myself.

On my first day of kindergarten, I sang an oldie titled "爱上一个不回家的人" to the whole school, and it was pretty amazing and hilarious for a kid that age to be singing that kinda song. It's like a 5 year old singing " I hate myself for loving you" .
When I was in primary school, I was a fat kid. Yup. And full of accidents/injuries whenever i did sports. Not long after I joined the athletics team, I cracked my ankle bone so i couldnt do any sports which made me even fatter.
In Secondary 1, i joined the school's cross country team and participated in a national cross country run with thousands of other students and came in 66th in the whole nation. Bet u ppl nv knew that huh. LoL
I was hated by my seniors from secondary school. I dunno why . Either cos i looked ugly due to puberty acne breakout or cos i was pretty close frens with a number of guys around my year. But wtv it was, that's a long time ago and we're all grown up now. At least i know i am.
At 15 yrs old, I met a boy who was the best and worst thing that happened to me. The whole event entirely changed my life, bringing me where i am today.
I have tried at least 5 brands of slimming products in my entire life ( is this more of a confession ?? ) but only 1 worked effectively: Herbalife , expensive but good
I bake awesome cookies.
My sister and I still shower together, even at our age. We've always been the closest pair of sisters. But when i told my bf this, he freaked out. =S
Even though I'm turning 20 this year, sigh, but i still have dreams and fantasies about marrying a prince/billionaire/superstar. I would always picture myself living the life of royalty and having my personal chef, masseur, maid, fashion consultant, lawyer, bodyguard, driver, doctor etc. Well, dare to dream right ? May as well dream more.
And finally, not such a random thing, but I still have to say that my life became alot better when Mr. Chris Lee Kah Heng tripped and fell into my love dungeon =D wahaha

Ok so whoever I tag needs to blog about the same thing I did and you cannot tag me back. But do lemme know when you finish.

Just came back from one u, went to watch Beverly Hills Chihuahua =D watched it with my sister... it was kinda a cute movie ... but there were these kids all over the cinema who just wouldnt stop talking or yelling -.-" ppl usually dont mind when it comes to kids cos they understand that they're just children. But what are the parents doing ?? Hello ?? The least the parent(s) could do is tell their kids to be considerate or be quiet, but nooooo , the parents simply tapped their kids on the shoulders and then continued watching their movie, irregardless of everyone else in the cinema who wants to enjoy their movie too. I know it's not easy being a parent, let alone teach ur kids well, but still, when it comes to the concern of other ppl, shldnt someone responsible do something responsible ?

Anyways, results are supposed to be out today, but when i went back to check the adp site, its changed to this coming monday. Sigh. Pls pls pls pls pls DONT lemme get any Cs or i am seriously going to turn the adp office upside down when i do not get my application approved from all 4 universities i applied to. Well 2 outta 4 already accepted me, but i wanna have more choices and choose a course that really suits what i wanna do ... T-T

Port Dickson Trip - 22nd Dec 2008

On our way there, we got lost . hahaha . Well dont ask why. By the time we got to pd, it was around 1ish i think, den stopped at this coffeeshop to have some sort of noodles called " la za mien" , which means dirty noodles but in fact it isnt dirty, it's just the traditional name, which is quite interesting. Then we went to our hotel to check in at around 2, the hotel was awesome !!! It was a really pretty apartment beach resort that was right next to the most popular beach in pd. Our apartment had 3 bedrooms and had a seaview =D u can even see millions of stars at night !! We paid a nett amount of rm538 , which includes breakfast. So i think its pretty worth it.

After we settled down inside our apartment, me and the girls whipped out our very surprise for our bfs that we were preparing for the past few days. Ok it might not look like the most pretty cake but cmon , it's our first time, and the cake actually tasted good ! XD We made some cookies too and put them in lil heart shaped boxes that we got from daiso . Hee.

Beautiful sea view from our apartment balcony

Later on, we went for a banana boat ride. At first the guy wanted us to pay rm20 each but we managed to bargain it down to rm10 each. We couldnt bring our camera so no pics =( But nonetheless, it was really fun . Haha. The banana boat capsized 3 times but there was once where only valerie fell off the boat . LoL . U can choose how many times u want the boat to capsize, they let u choose between 3 and 5 times. But seriously, with all the sea water up your nose, 3 times is enough.

We also had a bbq at night, we brought our own lil bbq set from tesco. Only rm9 for a disposable one, XD . damn cheap, but its pretty small. There were prawns, chicken wings, fish, sausages, crab sticks etc etc. We also bought beer to chill out thru the night.

"Guy Talk" (^^)

BBQ at our balcony

Sparkling juice =)

The next morning, the rest of them went for breakfast at the cafe but me and deardear were too tired and lazy. LoL. Nat and muyo went to the beach for a morning walk and caught many many hermit crabs, water snails and baby crabs. Den she gave me half of what she got too. After checking out, we went on to the ostrich farm but bcos we had to pay rm8 a person, we simply took photos outside the farm. Haha. We also had some lunch at a nearby marketplace before returning back to kl . =)

i baked these really yummy cornflake cookies today !! they taste like those chinese new year cookies that bakeries sell during the season ... but mine taste better of course =D my sis helped me baked them too and it was really hard work cos there's this step where u needa fold the flour into the butter mixture , u cant use a electronic beater for that so we did it manually ... and the both of us ended up with a sore arm and sweat on the foreheads (dont worry, none fell into the mixture) ... den we rolled the dough into tiny balls but the cookies expanded like 4 times the size ... but nonetheless , today was a success (^.^)

PD trip is coming up real soon !! we all plan to get together sunday night and head down to tesco to buy wtv we need ... especially food for our bbq as well as drinks ... i cant wait to go !! And pls pls pls pls pls let the weather be good on that day so we can do everyth as planned !! Otherwise i cant really think of anything we can do on a rainy day by the beach =S

2008-12-09T23:42:00.002+08:00

I have been let down once again . Everytime it happens, it leaves me disappointed, upset and of course, angry. But without fail, i forgive him every single time. He promises me this and that over and over again. I choose to trust him. After all, that's very important in a relationship. Sometimes, i even choose to give the benefit of the doubt just so that it makes things easier and happier for the both of us. I tolerate and i give in . I listen to his explainations and always decides to believe that he wont do it again. But guess wat ? It just so happens that when he does it behind my back, i always end up busting the crime. Always. Or perhaps there have been some occasions where he gets away unnoticed. So fine. Each time it's the same speech delivered by him. What else havent i heard ? Not to mention the "im not in the mood to deal with this right now" attitude. I gave in to that too. Countless times. And now, i'm not going to say that i'm sick and tired of all this. Cos i dunno how many times i have thought that to myself but never said it out loud. Why? Becos i dont wanna hurt his feelings. Yes, i actually do care about how he would feel when i do/say certain stuff. So you may ask, what about him? Does he care? Well, very evidently, he knows damn well what triggers it all off, but yet, he still does it. HE STILL DOES IT. Does this show that he cannot control himself ? OR does it show that he doesnt appreciate the the stuff that I am willing to tolerate for him? I have nothing else to say except the fact that I am utterly disappointed and devastated.

2008-12-08T04:30:00.002+08:00

its 4.30am and im wide awake . shit .

must be the starbucks i had a few hours ago ... but it was a de-caf one so i shldnt be this awake now ... sigh ... damn it ... maybe its exam stress .. i dunno ...

T-T im gonna cry

2008-12-06T02:22:00.003+08:00

i think i fckd up my stats exam . sigh . wat a waste. well mainly cos half the damn mcqs were about stupid hypothesis testing theories about the Type 2 error. WTF , who cares about that when you're doing a MATH exam . Its supposed to be about the calculations. damn it . ARGH wtv , i'll just do better for the next exam.

For the past few days i've been studying my ass off for the conflict resolution paper , so i better do well for it . Unless its gonna be like the midterm where they ask u dumb questions from the 1950s . hello , erm like anyone of us is gonna read about that in the paper now . geex .

went to watch Twilight last nite ... WAT A ROMANTIC SHOW ... and the main actor was so hot XD the whole story was so sweet n romantic , well it was kinda draggy at the front but then it got better . Sigh , u ppl should have seen how protective Edward Cullen was to his gf ... but i didnt feel like the girl played the role very well , i felt she wasnt suitable for it . Oh wells, nonetheless it was a good show .

I miss my baby boy =(

2008-12-02T15:56:00.002+08:00

I'm taking a break from studying now , sigh , tuition later in the evening. Just wish that exams could be done and over with soon !!! T-T

Well besides all the cramming, we went to neway on sunday night =D , sang k all the way till 4am in the morning ... Haha ... our plan was to leave about 3am , but we got too carried away . Well at least I know me and dear got carried away , I dont think kw n val were cos they looked half asleep XD .

ANYWAYS , HPU just sent me their acceptance letter . According to the letter, im suppose to get a package along with it, but the postman only delivered the letter =S . Oh wells, think it may come tmrw or in a few days. I just received oregon's package tho ... inside were a whole lot of brochures and forms that I have no idea what to do with . Well I mean, even if i do know what to do , I wouldnt do it just yet cos I'm still pending on my decision about where to go ...

So why dont u ppl help me out a bit. Here are my options:

1. Indiana Bloomington. My cousin is dere , so there's sort of someone I can rely on for many issues i might face when i get there. So that's useful and nice. The school is generally good and in terms of social psychology, it has a good reputation. Moreover, they have the individualised major program which I'm really interested in =D . It's where u create ur own major. Fun !!

2. Minnesota - Twin Cities. Hmm this is a very good school, ranks top 50 in the world if I'm not mistaken. But it's in the state Minnepolis, which is hmm , in the middle of I dunno where ?? Well its far from most major cities like new york or LA ... even IU is just 4hours from Chicago. And this ? Hmm I dunno ... the only thing that attracts me to this uni is its popularity and good reputation.

3. Oregon. Nice place, near California !! It seems like a really good place to live and study in. It's a safe place, low crime rates , which is good. The reputation of the school is fairly reknown, well at least in Help it is , i still need to research more about this one. Oh, they have officially accepted me already , like i said just now.

4. Hawaii Pacific. See after i applied then my other cousin told me that it isnt such a good school cos most of the ppl she knows who went there eventually transferred outta it. And hawaii isnt exactly the best place to study psychology , its more of hotel management and tourism. I only applied for it cos the adverts made it seem so good and hello , its hawaii man !! How cool is that? But still, I dont think i will go there eventually . Sigh .

So what do u ppl think ?

2008-12-02T00:19:00.001+08:00

i hate exams. i hate exams. i really really hate exams.

Argh i've been cramming like nuts for these few days for stupid stats exam on thursday ... den after that i need to cram for conflict resolution T-T I'm going to go nuts ...
