Kicking Off 2011

When it comes to celebration, especially New Year, most youth out there would be thinking of going to bar, pub and all those stuff. Yeah, that was once me..

This year, together with few friends, we did it differently. We went to a friend's house (thanks to the parents for letting us use their house, really appreciate it much!), bought two crates of Heineken and some food. Some might think that it is a common thing and less fun than being in a pub or a bar but to me, spending the countdown moment with few friends in a quiet place where the room is all to yourselves is better than crowding up in a humid place where you could barely breath out of the thick smokey atmosphere. Well, each person has different opinion on how to enjoy right? :)

During the countdown, lotsa incident happened. Strangers became acquiantances and acquiantances became friends. Friends get to share moments be it of sensitive, humorous or even embarrasing! Talking about embarassing, I kinda regretted suggesting them to play "Truth". When they managed to catch question which I do not want to spill, I felt my whole life was between the Valley of Embarrasement and Gateway to Hell. However, thinking back about it, it is kinda silly and that silliness would make them remember me of my true self (Thanks to lotsa Heineken which made my secret's barrier thinner and made me blurted out things I shouldn't have..)

Anyway, these kinda moments would always make us feel that friends are more precious than diamonds. The joy and memory that we spent together with our friends are seriously priceless. I am grateful that I always have them around (even though most of the time, I only get to see them every six months) and making me believe that life is always beautiful. :)

Oh and to every reader who stopped by, Happy New Year 2011!

Paintball Shenanigan

To me, paintball is an activity involving adrenaline rush of survival where we can shoot someone and we won't be convicted of murdering or injuring people. Like what it says; Play at your own risk.

Yesterday, I had tremendous fun trying it for the first time. The first few rounds, you'll bound to whine over the pain but heck, those bruises are definitely incomparable with the tonnes of joy that I got to enjoy. Most of the time, it's hide or run. However, when you saw a member of the opposing team, the shooting begins.

You'll love it once you've tried it! Of course, with the right gang around you. :)

I love this December! Lotsa fun and joy spreading around!

A Cup of Love

When we felt our life is always on a fast lane,
stop for a while...
have a cup of coffee or tea alongside with few friends.

Rest on the comfty couch,
chit-chat through the night,
even with empty talk? that's ok...
cause being human, living as one, we get to enjoy such bliss in life.

Amen~ :)

Journey of Study Life (Degree)

I remembered the first time I got an offer letter to this course. I dropped on my knee and cried so hard. Well, if I have stopped here, you might think that I cried because I'm overwhelmed. Boo boooo.. Wrong! I cried because I did not want this course. I cried because my dream job was fading far far away from me. I dreamed to be a designer. I dreamed to find a job of my dream as Conficious said, "When you have a job you love, you won't be working another day of your life.."

So, with a sad face, a heavy and unwilling heart, I took the offer. Partly because mom don't let me enter Taylor's. 7 hours ride to the college and there it stood. Admist all the trees and no tall buildings within like 30km radius? I registered and went into my room. I was dead shock to see how dirty the place is. More like a haunted house. Clean, clean, clean. Unpacked and bid my family goodbye.

Orientation week. I was the youngest among all. A crybaby, I am. Looking back at it, I pity my roomate at that time, Connie Ting for having to hear me sobs the whole week. However, miracously, I survived that week. One week being tormented by seniors. Sleepless night. Oh what memories it was.

There it was. 16 of us. Pretty laid back at first. Not much lecture to attend to. I also had problem communicating with the rest as my Mandarin was freaking terrible at that time. I was like partially deaf and whole dumb when it comes to Mandarin. With patience, rest of the Chinese girls in my class were patient enough to teach me. Much appreciation even until today. :)

Few weeks later, comes six more girls. Pretty girls. There's even two that are taller than me, making me the third tallest in the class with Lung Lung. Now, we have 22 in the class.

Everyday, we had lectures until the Sun decided to set in. I remembered that we only had like three classes present in the college with all the other seniors out for practicum. The lecturers were eager to enter our class.. even when it was not in the schedule. So, we appreciated their enthuiasm and effort in educating us, trying their hardest to guide us in passing the evaluation assessment.

There were also various events to attend to such as event celebration, marathon, sports and et cetera. Our relationships were tight. We knew who is who and what was going on within the college. Pish, posh.. Tick, tock. One and a half years passed by. We did barbeque for farewell and everyone cried until their eyes wanna popped out.

January 2007 arrived. Campus changed to Kota Samarahan. 22 together again! Tsk! Nobody was away.. lol~ The class was tight at first but got more loose with the time as this campus is bigger. People spread to make new friends. Less events to attend to and more assignments to deal with. Dealing with assignments and poofed! 4 years were gone! I can't believe I have completed my degree in Education. Love and hate. Give and take. I learned to love my job, my profession. Though designing is still my first choice, I believe I can make way for educating children.

I'm gonna GRADUATE soon! Wooohooo!~

He's like Superman. Always There.

Moments ago, I almost came close to fainting.
I was deeply panicked and I could not find what I was looking for.
My mind was blank.
I could not retrace my steps.


I called out to You for help.
I believe that You would never ever disappoint me.
You didn't.
You answered my call and helped me.
You showed me the way out from a lost wood.


I found what I needed and I'm eternally grateful.
For Your help and for Your love to me. :)
Praise to you, God. I love you very much.

Bloated Week

Last Wednesday, I've finally presented my research! WooHoo! Although I looked kinda dumb on the video, I'll just ignore that and enjoy the feeling of freedom! ^^


Oh ya.. felt bloated this week since on Tuesday, went to KFC to celebrate Bobby's birthday and just now, went to Pizza Hut to celebrate the success of research presentation (for few of us)..


Man, so gonna gain back the 3 kg that I've lost last week.. xP

Donating Blood

There were some medical officers from the hospital that came to our college earlier today to help out with the blood donation day. Out of curiosity, I dragged another friend that knew nothing of donating blood to the site.


In the end, both of us decided to have a go in donating blood. A bag full of blood was fused out of my body within like 15 minutes? I was scared at first but thinking about it now, it's just a minor pinch and I felt nothing when they drained the blood through my right arm.. My right arm was pretty sore in the afternoon but it went better during the night. Oh and the whole donating blood thing has made me pretty sleepy the whole day.


However, knowing my blood might save a person's life is all that it takes. I should do this often! :)


This marks the first day of me donating blood! Woots~ xD

DiGi iPhone 4 Life

Day 4:

Day 4 has finally arrived! With a blur condition after donating 450mg of blood, I can't express my anxiety to await for 1 October 2010 and the day the winner would be announced. However, I do not have much confidence of winning since there are so many experienced and creative blogger out there. Oh well, all in the hand of DiGi, Nuffnang and God.

Whoops! Before I forget, this is the photo for the last task! I can't decide to go for white or black so I posted both. Hey, it still counted as a photo right? Just that it has a black or white version. xP

I wish good luck to DiGi and Nuffnang
to choose the lucky winner out from so many creative bloggers out there!
^^

Digi iPhone 4 Real

DAY 3:
Sweet! iDiGi Postpaid Plans for iPhone 4! With years sticking to DiGi’s plan since the first day I got a mobile phone, I can still continue using DiGi if I got myself an iPhone or.. when someone give it to me as a gift. xD


What I love about the DiGi iPhone 4 Plans is the iDiGi 138 plan. The other two plans, iDigi 88 and iDigi 238 are super deal too but I tend to get the moderate one since I can’t afford for iDigi 238 plan and truth to be told, 1GB of Internet is definitely not enough for me!


Besides the monthly billing of only RM88 per month, I can get FREE monthly usage of 450 minutes of voice call, 400 SMS, and 40 MMS! Note that the free usage is per MONTH and not just for the first signup. I mean I have the average of spending 15 minutes per day talking to my friends or family for free and sending about 13 free SMS per day!


Oh and the free Internet quota per month is 3GB. To me, 3GB equals to constant YouTube, Facebook, and online movie streaming! According to my friend who have just subscribed to iDigi88 few days ago, if I am to exceed the monthly usage of 3GB per month, I can still continue using the Internet for NO EXTRA CHARGE. However, like any other broadband, the Internet speed would be throttled to 128Kbps. This plan is more than enough to feed my hunger for Internet whenever I am traveling, on the road or just away from home.


If you think that the free voice calls and SMS is not enough for you and you would not prefer for iDiGi 238 deal, the iGet lowest rate after monthly free usage is available for only 12 sen for voice calls, 10 sen per SMS and 20 sen per MMS... and get this, iGet provides cheaper call rates to up to six (6) Friends and Family numbers besides giving FREE calls, SMS and MMS to six (6) DiGi Family supplementary lines. Isn’t that great?!


Well, you might think that DiGi would not offer this sweet deal without terms and conditions right? Yes, there are terms and conditions. A 24 months contract. Also, promotional monthly free is only available for the first 24 months. After that, it would be charged at normal rate. Compared to other Telco, this is definitely a sweet deal for me! For more information, you can check it out in details below.

Argh! It is just mouth-watering! Oh when, oh when would I get an iPhone?

Digi iPhone 4 Play

DAY 2:

Wowww... This second task is really hard. Asking me to choose one app from hundreds of apps out there for iPhone? My head is spinning as it is... but I do have one particular app in my mind that would be a great helping hand of my study life! It is called iStudiez Pro.

As an undergraduate, this app would be great to aid my crazy lifestyle and unending list of to-do assignments. It is like a note where I can scribble all my schedules, lectures' time and assignments. Imagine it as my external memory. No more white hair frustrating over my own super forgetful memory. No more jumping out of the bed early in the morning, remembering I got lectures for that day. I could track my tasks, assignments, classes and deadlines with just a touch of my fingertip!

A look of the Smart Today view of iStudiez every morning will help me to refresh my memory about the schedule of the day, assignments due, and lectures to attend to along with its time.

As for the Calendar mode, it would help me to keep tracks of holidays and lectures to attend. What I like about the Calendar mode is that it would help me to indicate how many lectures that I need to attend for a certain day by marking it down with dots. 2 dots mean 2 lectures. Oh and a red flag besides the date means I have exam! Exam? Oh, I hate exam!

Need to keep track of assignments? The Assignments view would give me a detailed view of my assignments and its deadline. Once I am done with an assignment, I can just check it like a to-do list! Definitely a great app to start training myself from constantly burning midnight oil. :P

Besides that, its Planner mode also possesses the capability to organize my classes and allows me to track my lecturers’ contact information. Other than that, it also allows Data Backup to my e-mail in case something goes wrong with the iPhone. Neat, simple and organized!

So, there! I’ve said it! I guess most people would go for apps that works for entertainment but if I would to choose an app that would make my day, this is it! Hey, a happier me means I could go and play right? iPhone 4 Play!

Of A Love Story...

When you feel that love between couple does not exist in this world, I recommend you to look at this blessed couple. A friend of mine who just turned 23 at the stroke of midnight but people would say she's 15 if you have just met her!


The sweetness between her and her boyfriend is above the hills, sky and sea! Total sweetness and by just being besides them, you could not help but to "tumpang sekaki" on their bliss. Even sugar would be tasteless around them! xD


If you have the chance to meet her, be sure to ask her her love story. You could hear Taylor Swift's 'Love Story' as background song when you listen to it... :P The moral of the story has taught me to never give up. Even a pinch of light is a symbol of hope.


Anyway, Happy 23rd Birthday to you, Siew Sing Ya! ♥ I felt blessed to have the chance of being your friend! This I dedicate to you! In the meantime, enjoy being the birthday girl!


P/s: I'm eagerly waiting for your wedding invitation next year! Inform early ah! Later no flight.. xD

Digi iPhone 4 Me

DAY 1:
Oh Gosh! The moment I saw this from Nuffnang, my heart just kept on screaming non-stop on how badly I would want to own this luxulicious babe. No, it's not some hot girls.. It's way and with capital letters, WAY WAY better! King of all phones, the iPhone4! Its engineered glass body, stainless steel band, oh-so-elegant! *scream*


Why would I want to have one? Duh! Who wouldn't! Nowadays, iPhone is all that everyone talks about! Yeah, sure... there's BlackBerry but I fell in love with iPhone! I remembered the first time I held it in my hand. Oh, of course, it's not mine. It belongs to my lecturer. I just got lucky to be able to have a test of how futuristic and mesmerizing it could be!

I want one oh-so badly!!

Its HD video recording and 5 Megapixel camera would be heaven to my interest in photography. I can just snap and take videos anytime, anywhere. No more saying "1,2,3" then the "ka-chak" sound. No more waiting for the photo to load so that I can be sure it is not blurred. iPhone's camera captures memories beautifully even before you could say cheese or "ka-chak"!


Oh oh and for being a Facebook addict, I would not need to worry about being away from it when traveling. I can go wireless or even use Digi's GSM/EDGE to online. And what's more is its 3.5 inch screen that would ease the agony of going online with a small screen like most ordinary phone. Not only that, being a person who is bad at memorizing streets and places, I can also use the map application on iPhone! No more getting lost! WooHoo!


I would immediately go to an Apple outlet if I have the $ to buy one but unfortunately, this mere undergraduate does not possess that much money. *sobs* So, yeah! I would want a Digi iPhone! Pleassseeeeee? with eyes so big and sparkly like Puss in Shrek and puppy-dog-pound please!

Young at Heart

Yes, we're no teenager but still darn crazy! This only shows one thing: young at heart! ♥

Quote #1

Just got back from celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival at Carpenter Street. Seriously, being a Kuchingites, this is the first time I been to such festival. Sakai no?


Anyway, just blogging to share one motivational quote I stumbled upon at Cindy's status update. Loving it as it's inspirational to me. :)

Don't go for looks, it can be quite deceiving.
Don't go for wealth, even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you SMILE,
because only a smile makes a dark day seems bright

Hope it did brighten your day in a way. :)

Moon + Cake = Mooncake?

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival
to
all my Chinese friends!

*Cricket sounding*

I'm spending mid-autumn day preparing my article for my research presentation.. *sobs*
How did you spend it?

Counting Months

It seems like in a blink of an eye... It is now mid-SEPTEMBER!! I just can't believe that another 3 more months and I'll be finishing my degree. Five and a half year just passed by so so so quickly.. Oh my sweet sweet two weeks holiday is going to end.. Sigh.. Anyway, wake me up when September ends! xD

Selamat Hari Raya!

Wishing all my Muslim friends


SELAMAT HARI RAYA!


Enjoy yourself this festive season! :)

*runs off with broom to chase annoying kids who made my car alarm went off 6 times..

W995?

Remember about how I would always whine about my research report? Finally! It's done. Signed, sealed, delivered.. lol~ And to add to my happiness is the two weeks holiday! What to do for these two weeks? I think I'm going to be a big sloth; eat, play, sleep and do nothing for the whole week! Yippie! ..NOT.. For this holiday, I got to complete 3 projects and another article for the research.. Oh well, better than none right?



Oh and our allowance is out! Enough to last until the end of the year but not enough for my wishlist: EOS550D! :( Never the less, my hand was itchy and I managed to buy W995 to please my soul for all my hard work for the past 6 months.



I looOOooveee W995! Apart from its sleek design and two-way speaker, it is sOoooo smooth when typing messages or just clicking random buttons! I also love the bass sound for Walkman.. no static sound, loud and clear when playing music. Not to forget its 8.1 megapixel camera with auto focus. The camera is ok but I think Sony could do better. When using 8.1 megapixel, it tends to blur easily. Hence, I have to use 5 megapixel instead of 8.1. However, really.. what do you expect when the price is just RM850.00? Nice right? Well.. IMO, it's nice.. hehe~

Allowance Issue

Allowance oh friggin allowance.. Why have you not entered our account yet?


Everyone's really dry at the moment and will be eating grass soon..


I'm sensing a strike on the way all through Malaysia if this matter goes on. =.="

Internship Week 1

First week of Internship and I felt like a truckload of paperwork hit me hard. It is almost to the end of the week and my partner and I barely finished with two proposals. Sudden change with the spoke person's schedule sent my driving up and down delivering letters. I'm even faster than the post laju.. lol~


Fortunately, staffs at my current Internship place are all so lovely. Despite their busy schedule, they still spend time to moderate our proposals. I am really thankful that I got such a wonderful place for Internship compared to some of my other course mates. According to them, they had to do many extra works that wasn't supposed to be done.. the one that is not in our Internship outline.


I'm also grateful to have the spoke person volunteering herself to help us with the talk! It is not easy to find an experienced and suitable spoke person given the limited time and budget we have. I owe her a big favor! Thanks, Madam! ♥


With two out of three proposals almost done and waiting for its implementation, the result from all the rush is oh!~ so sweet. Hopefully, I'll just be busy for another week and have the last two weeks to finish up will all three reports.


Hey, life's ain't easy right? Unless I am a princess livin' large in a mansion or something! xP

Blogging

After spending my last 4 hours reading a new blog that I just found browsing randomly, I realized that Kuching people have talent in blogging!

I remembered the first blog that I love to read was and still is:

Always love those funny posts by him and also envy how he gets to travel the world. :S

Then, after few years keeping up with Kenny's blog, I stumbled upon another interesting blog from a Kuchingnites:


Seriously, I have no idea what his posts are most of the time as I can't read Chinese.
*A Chinese who can only speak but not write and read here*
but I enjoy his drawing very much. Simple, cute and funny! ^^


Today, I stumbled upon another interesting blog! By a Kuchingnites too!


And it's in English! Now another extra blog tagged for my entertainment while browsing the net ^^

I think what I can sum up is that Kuching people are good at blogging!~ lol.. nah, it's more like most great bloggers that I stumbled into in the net are Kuching people, coincidentally.

Reading blogs is actually more like a 'pak kua' thing.. [busybody] but heck, it enlightens my day! ^^

Proud of you guys who can blog well cause truth to be told, I suck at managing my own personal blog. Yeah, I just blog for fun like many of my other friends. xP

Oh and another one by a Johorian [if I'm not mistaken]. This is one lady who blogs really well and got an award for it! *applause* ^^ Check it out if you likes reading blogs! ^^


Now to get back to my report... =.="


... well, it doesn't hurt to Facebook first instead..lol~
