It is a SIGN.

Frequent updates definitely correlates with assignments!

Walaoweh.

Pronounced: Wa-lao-weh.

Depending on the situation, you speed up the pronunciation accordingly. For instance, when the car you are in is about to hit another car, you usually go :" Walaowehhhh Walaowehhhh!!" *super quickly*

Or, when someone cracks a super lame joke and you really beh tahan, sorta kinda, you go :" Waaaalaooooowehhhhhhhh". *with a very longggg drag*

Anyhow, that's totally beside the point, point is, there isn't a point today. :)

I've been trying to upload the frisbee photos onto Facebook since... but it keeps telling me 'upload failed'. Potong betul. So, I have given up. Let's just hope that it's a temprorary technical problem. So here is a glimpse of what the photos are like.

The fisherman. Not fishing, but fetching.

The 'this is how you do it' pose.In between the legs.

Apart from that, I am so so very sure that I'll be hearing "You sunburn ah?", "You become darker" or such similar comments when I get back to lectures. So I might as well explain it now. I FORGOT TO APPLY SUNBLOCK. That's it.

So, hopefully Betsy's bunch really had a good time. From my side, I am just glad that it worked out well. Pretty good planning and organizing for first timer. ;)

I hate it when people talk as if they know what is going on. I lagi hate it when they try to lecture you when they talk as if they know when they don't. I lagi lagi hate it when they blame you for something that they think they know when they really don't. I super hate when people find scapegoats to account for their own mistakes when they initially blamed another person for doing the wrong thing when in actual fact was the right thing and then upon realizing the mistake they've made, they start to point fingers.

Very long winded hor. Nvmd me.

...Raja Muda is in another 2+ weeks!! :) Can't wait. Can't wait.

Before I go off, Happy Deepavali to all!

May the lights shine bright, Festival of Lights mah!

Not always...

.... just sometimes.

I think I super fail one lor.

My body now super aching. Super! Tu lah akibatnya tak rajin. Malas.
Now climb stairs also wanna die.
Sit down on toilet bowl to pee also wanna cry.

Aiyuh.

But, let's not go there today.
Today shall be a happy day.

:)
<3

Simply because my friends all too cute already lah.

Serendipity.

Or else, in a more parsimonious term, an 'aha moment'.

My aha moment?!

I LIKE TO MAKE PEOPLE'S NAME, SHORT on purpose!!

For instance, starting with the family.

Heng Li -> Heng.
We Li -> Wesley -> Wes.
Mommy -> Mom.
Daddy -> Dad.

And mine too, Ai.

Okay lah, so these are the very common ones...

Now, moving on to the list of friends:
More famous ones to start off with,

Michael Wan -> Mike
Kevin Saw -> Kev
Betsy -> Betz
Wei Wen -> Wen / Smurf
Benjamin -> Ben / Ben-the-goalie
Poh Choo -> PC
Seu Foong -> Seu
Min Huei -> Min

And when I can't find a substitute for a shorter version of the name, I go directly for surnames because they are a whole lot shorter, for instance;

Cheam Hui Ying -> Cheam
Sharon Kong -> Kong
Goh Chun Feng -> Goh
Chuah Boon Woei -> Chuah
Chai Min Huei -> Chai

And when surnames don't do, I sometimes prefer to create my own versions.

Priscilla -> Lala
(I think I was the first to start her calling Lala. Maybe not. But secara vividly, I think I was the "pioneer" lah)

I also used to have crews whom I named really rather funnily.

Bulatttt & Gemukkk.
* Well, I didn't really name them lah, they were 'introduced' by that so I just stucked to it considering it was so much easier than to call them by their crazy long names.

Names like Mandy cannot get any shorter unless I call her Man from now onwards which really, doesn't make much sense to me.

Or like Ivy (though I sometimes still like to include surnames). So it becomes, Ivy Choong and Mandy Kok. Or the classic, best of the bunch, Mike One.

How did my aha moment come to me? I have no slightest clue.

Faulty Human Personality.

Since we're doing Human Personality this semester, I thought the idea of using it as a title would be rather cool! :)

Anyway, the faulty aspect of human personality I am gonna be talking about, I believe everyone has committed before. But maybe not everyone has a unhealthy limit of it.

Yes. I am talking about the 'I am always right' aspect of the human personality.

One person of whom I know very well who has an unhealthy obsession of this habit, my dearest daddy!

He can drive me (literally) crazy sometimes! 9 out of 10 conversations with my dad will end this way.

"No, you said....... right?"
"See, I am correct! Why do you have to jump to conclusions?"
"But you said......!!"
"Yeah, I am right. Why don't you listen and think a bit for yourself??"

You tell me, can die or not?
9 out of 10 conversations okay!

But anyway, he's still one pretty cool dad and I do love him very very much.

You know how Freud said daughters will always want their future spouse to resemble their fathers and vice-versa for sons and their mothers?

I would, like (if I ever do get married) my future spouse to be just like my dad, except for this part of his faulty personality.

"I am always right". Yeah right.

UGH.

And no means no.

It shall not, should not, will not happen again. No! No way. Not till the end of the year.

No more butterflies, no more wishful thinking, no more playing, no more testing the waters to see if the water is cold or hot or warm. No more taking things for granted.

Time to grow up whether you like it or not. Okay? Yes.

So. No means no!

Abstract hurrr. Go figure. I need to grow up.

- Our Sharon Kong -
Must read!

Now u know.

I guess I'll just never grow up! :)

Oh No.

*edited*

I'm slightly fever-ish too!
(too because I know of someone who's also sick)

What a bad bad time to fall sick. *gulps down liters of water*

The culprit?

I think. Playing volleyball in the rain on Fri for a good couple of hours and the terribly heat-y BBQ dinner later at night to celebrate Yao's 24th.

But don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining! As a matter of fact, I am actually mentioning it because I kinda like the hectic.rush.rush.and.feel.tired.but.satisfiying lifestyle, minus the assignments lah.

Coursework and projects are not included in the list of 'hectic rush rush'.

Anyway, I've got bruises on both arms. The one on the left is almost the size of the 50sen coin. Yeng right! Again, I am not complaining, I think bruises are a sign of 'macho-ness'. Especially on girls. :)

And I had the most painful facial in a very long while today. At least my face feels cleaner.

Something to share. A tiny part of a conversation with the beautician, who, didn't realize that I wasn't in the mood to talk,
(the conversation was in Mandarin because she couldn't speak English)

"Ni shi shem me ren ah? Hen xiang Sin Jia Po ren..."
(What person are you???? Look like a Singaporean)

I'm Malaysian.

"Ni xian zai ji sui? Hai zhai du shu ma?"
(How old are you? Still studying?)

I'm twenty and yes, I'm still studying.

"Ni mama hen mei ah! Pi fu hen hao. Ta ji sui? San shi ah?"
(Your mom very pretty, very nice skin. How old is she? Thirty?)

In which I politely replied, "Mei you lah, se shi je loh".
(No lah, she's in her forties.)

In my heart, I was thinking. Crazy ah. Thirty years old. Takkan she 10 years old gave birth to me right?!

Why do people like to ask stupid questions sometimes? Hmmm.

I wanted to make it the third entry for the day but figured it'll be too much, so anyway.

It'll be the dears' 20th tomorrow, but unfortunately I'll be out at sea. So.. here goes,

*sings*

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to Mandy,
Happy birthday to you!!

*hugs hugs, muax muax*

Have a good one dear! <3

I was disappointed.

It amazes me how the people you trust end up failing you at the end of the day.

You put so much trust in them because you believed them, or rather, because you thought you believed them.

Only to find out that, well, you more or less trusted the wrong person.

And it only makes it worse when they're your friends and that all along, you always believed that they were trust able.

But it could also be very well that it is because they are your friends and that is why you get so disappointed when they fail you.

Coz, if it was just some random somebody from the street, chances are, you would know better than to trust them too much, and of course then when they disappoint you, you tell yourself, "Well, that was expected lah."

Then again, if so, why would friends betray the trust they have?

"If you really didn't want to do it, you could have very well just said it to my face.
Instead of making me think that I could depend on you and have my hope all shattered at the end of the day."

I don't know lah, I am just disappointed and I think I deserve to complain a lil'.

In more than 1 way.

I am.

Tired. Enervated. Exhausted. Fatigued. Wearied. Exasperated. Debilitated. Drained. Pooped.
( Source: Dictionary.com )

Penat. Ngantuk. Letih.

Lei. Kun. Xiang sui.

Ahhh!
But today is / was, also, in more than 1 way, a good day.
:) / <3

I used to think it was just the Mom. Now it's the Dad too!!

The Parents have a habit of 'mis-calling' as a sign of
'Get here (to wherever they are at) now'
when they're in the house.

What a life!

I hate them.

ANTS.

Grrrr, and I have absolutely no idea where they come from!

I do not eat in my room except for the occasional cup(s) of coffee I bring in while working on the lappie.

Grrr. They're everywhere and are annoying and I hate themmm! Gah.

Anyway, my arms are aching and are mildly, swollen. Mangsa domestic violence! Not. It was volleyball practice yesterday lah.

Despite the pain and all, it was awesomely awesome. And still is. Honest. Seriously. Had not had that much fun in a fairly long while. Sadistic sia. ...A bit lah huh.

My right eye has been 'jumping' since yesterday. It's like you feel the heart beat sensation in your eye. Yeah. Weird right?

You know what I would die to be doing right now?
Lying on a beach with nothing to worry. XD

Wanna join me?

When I am desperately bored...

and sick of sitting in front of the laptop trying to cough out words for assignments, I cook my own meals.

It helps me to avoid getting all cranky and moody because the last thing I'll need is to feel depressed.

So yes.
I cook my own meal when I am bored!

Latest discovery : I cook pretty good Maggie soup!
:)

1. I am craving for a chocolate sundae but I know it's BAD for me.
   
2. I had a minor tummy malfunction today which resulted in me paying frequent visits to the washroom.
3. I am very fascinated over the fact that Kevin is almost done with his 210 paper.
4. Have you ever cleaned / attempted to clean ur belly button? I have. And it's fun.
5. I need to get me a lighter so that I can lit the candle for my scented burner.
6. When I am desperately bored and.... I wash my toilet too.
7. I watched Camp Rock on Disney and I think it's nonsense.
8. Katherine Heigl only looks awesomely pretty in Grey's... Weird.
9. I, apparently resemble Ueto Aya very much. Say, the browner version of her.
   

And I still cannot believe that I said "no" to my mom when she asked me out shopping earlier today.

Mandy

is a

two timer.

>_<

HahahaAaaAaa.

And I had fun today!

Dumb blondes, not.

- a forwarded email from the Dad.

A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game.

The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.

He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vise versa."

Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00."

This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer. "Okay," says the lawyer, "Your turn".

She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?"

The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mail to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail.

After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500.00.

The blonde says, "Thank you," and turns back to get some more sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks,"Well, what's the answer?"

Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00,and goes back to sleep.

Moral of the story?! :)

Look At The Bright Side of Things.

For those of you who do not know, I have officially traded my Presario for the Fujitsu (also known as the "public computer" which I usually call it). Why? Don't bother.

So, yeap. LOOK at the bright side of things.

The funny thing is, I have been trying so very hard to do just that over the past few weeks, trying so hard to look at the bright side of things whenever something bad happens, and it has been tiring to smile when I know I am upset, to make myself think that something good will happen, but I am proud that I am at least attempting.

Just today, this conversation took place involving mainly Wesley. The Mom and Dad & I served as listeners.

(It was raining and we were on our way back from the Bukit Merah vacation..)

Wesley: It's so fun. To be a motorcyclist. When it rains, you go under the bridge for shelter, and you can talk to the other motorcyclists who are also taking shelter under the same bridge. You talk to one another, socialise and you make friends.

Of course the rest of us had our fair share of opinions on how 'fun' can it be to be a motorcyclist lah. But, my point is, what the lil' bro said is so true.

All you need is to look at the bright side of things!

Out of sheer curiosity, how would you interpret this, "You make us all look bad". It occurred to me sometime back. Someone said the exact phrase to me and I have always wondered if it was A) a praise or, B) was it an expression that said: All thanks to you, we're now all screwed.

A or B?

I am more than happy to have friends who can tell me, "Hey, you've got some veggie stuck between your teeth" or "You're insecure" or "You're being plain nasty, stop it" or "It (the chips) is fattening, you're gonna get fat" or "Thank you for the hard work, but we'll need to correct some parts of it" .. etc.

Because by that, I know that you have my best interest at heart, and also because, good friends look out for one another, even when the truth is not.so.pretty.

So dear all, thank you for being honest (I'll have to say my thank you's here and now because I won't be so thankful when you tell me the not-so-nice stuff in public although I know I'll appreciate it later on). So thank you for being honest and especially when it counts!

Love you all! <3
