my schedule

went to gurney today. there was really a lot of people. thinking also on what i want to do for the next 6 months. this is my schedule for this week.
last Tuesday: went to queensbay. got caught in MNG sales
last Wednesday: went to queensbay. got caught again in MNG sales
last thursday: went to prangin mall then went to QB again.
today: go to gurney

so u might as well guess how bored i am. i even took a drive to tanjong bungah to just sit for half an hour on the seaside. and u noe what the most pathetic thing is?
i only bought a dark blue hoodie which cost RM49 in 3 damn hours in MNG! i gotta admit, i'm not really great on buying things. got another thing to share with u too! when i went to the sales there was this really classy lady who is probably in her early thirties. she had this dyed light brown curls. when i saw her, she was wearing this white tank top, apple green miniskirt along with a tan 3 inch heels. what she did was skip all the long que and went straight to the long mirror which faces the long stretch of dressing rooms and started to pull the dresses and blouses right up her body. she then went to the salesgirl and asked:

'' did u keep the clothes that i wanted yesterday?''
that was tuesday. she then went up to the counter and paid for 7 or 8 total dresses which costs a total of probably a thousand over bucks.

and guess what? when i went to MNG the next day at 5 she was paying for the same amount of stuffs as she did the day b4. the fact is she came b4 i spent the whole three hours on the first day.

i was thinking, if she keeps this up, she may even own half of what's available in the QB branch.

then there was another lady who is in her early 20s. she had long straight hair and wore a beige satin pants along with this gorgeous no sleeve black satin top. i recognize the top from metrojaya, coz i remember admiring it myself and trying it on only to find that it costs 200 over bucks for one. what she did was bring along an indon maid and told her to stand in the que to go to the dressing room. after that she went for her ''search''. after choosing several clothes, she dumped them into her maid's arm. i couldn't help it and started to smile at the discovery. she caught me at it and smiled a little herself. what i thought at that time was,'' this lady is a pro shopper!'' so for those who have maids at home, be sure to bring them shopping coz u're gonna need them!

i couldn't help noticing people that day, coz i was really really bored and my legs were sore for standing too long on one spot. that's probably why women shopping is one of men's worst nightmare. i also bought a plain white dress on the first day for 40 bucks and 2 F.O.S. t-shirts that wrote ''most likely to be pink'' for $25.

my total clothes expenses is RM139. wow, i never like spend so much in a day b4. when daddy sees the credit card bill he going to explode on me. so i guess i'm just kind of going on a sabbatical for the rest of this month then flying straight back once the bill touches down on brunei. haha, i'm dead meat anyway. i admit too that i spent RM59.90 on a pair of really cute high heels, and RM 18.00 on a lip balm. shit, double damn, hells and back i'm dead meat anyhow...

how to make a road bully eat his own action, if not words?!

okay, sorry i really never update like in a long long time!

just want to tell u all some of my experience on the road. that day, when i was driving, i noticed i was in the wrong lane. noticing that there were no more cars behind that lane, i switched on my left hand signal and turned just stepping a little bit right into the left lane. then there was this indian guy driving a proton saga. the minute he saw me he deliberately drove until he was right behind where my car just stepped into the lane. the car in front then drove a bit forward so i was able to step further into the left lane. then the rude guy moved in front a bit. i got really angry so i moved my car forward, directly blocking his lane. when there was this green light. he noticed only that he can't move any further, coz if he did he would crash onto my car. so i drove forward then he honked me. i just stuck out my tongue at him and thought "bye sucker!".
another really great way of really pissing off a road bully is to drive slowly when he or she honks you. that's what my mom do.

i noe this type of character is really childish. but then when it comes to driving on the road in penang, things are always like that. i guess ppl might as well make the best of a situation...

relay for life, penang 2009!!!

okay, i bet a lot of you out there are wondering what relay for life is all about. it is actually a cancer awareness campaign to raise fees for poorer cancer patients and also to further the research on cancer. in fact, this was actually started by an american who went around the park asking for funds in a full 24-hour period in 1985. the thing that you can say about this guy is that 'wow, he is really super!' to be honest i can't stand walking non-stop for 10 hours without wanting to give up, let alone 24 hours. ah, life is so good that some people don't even have to walk for an hour per day. anyway, we only need to stay there for 16 hours and walk for a minimum of an hour.

the event actually took place in penang's one and only youth park in tanjong bungah. if you ever go to penang, go there, it's really fun, i personally think that it is even nicer than the new york parks that you watch in shows minus the bird feeding part, in which you have monkeys replacing them in penang. but if you get caught feeding them, you'll get a hefty sum of fines on your head.




me and yee hooi at one of the swings in youth park!!!

anyway after we set up our tents, we practically rush to the playgrounds like small kids. haha, to feel the wind blowing through my face again was great! i miss my swings, but definitely not my childhood.





another vain pose

ready, set, not yet go lar!

anyway, the whole event haven't started yet when we got there by 4.30pm. wanna see our tent?


our tent!

you know, i never thought that tents are so easy to set up. the tents are actually really really large sacks which have four small plastic (with holes) attached to each end of the square sack. there's actually a long slit x in the middle of the tent, so all you have to do is put the long rods that they have provided through the slits and the make sure that each ends of those rods are firmly stuck into each of the small plastic holes and voila, you have a tent. of course nobody wants their tents to topple over under strong winds, so using the hook-like nail, you nail the plastic end to the ground. my tent is not bad right? but of course, even dummies can set up this kind of tents.

before the start of the event, we saw people selling paper sacks in one of the stalls and i thought, why would people want to buy those ugly paper sacks (no offense of those who drew pics on those sacks! i didn't know at the time!) with really amateurish pictures (which really looked like it from afar!)! i thought maybe people were just gullible to this kind of things so i didn't think much about it until i saw them setting those paper sacks on the field in an oval manner. then they started to light up the candle which are put inside the sack. this is THE EFFECT!


the EFFECT!

it was raining at the time, i remember one or two of the sacks going aflame. one of the sacks kept burning very close to two people who appeared very heated in their conversation. the person i think was aware of the situation but just did nothing until a man stomp the flaming sack to cinders. but the whole scene was so beautiful that i actually felt tears lodged behind my throat. at the time, i thought the whole scene was very meaningful, because admidst all the rain and wind at that time, hundreds of lanterns just stood still and strong without burning up even though all the sacks were made from plain paper. it was as if god wanted to pass this message to us, to none believers, i think i can safely say that mother nature just wanted to convey the message that ' even though we look frail, we are actually much much stronger than we originally thought.

some of the sacks that was being set up in the field were actually good wishes or letters to their loved one who had cancer. one of the sacks that i read was actually for a mother who had died of cancer, it wrote 'you'll be always in our heart... within our soul...'. beautiful is the only word for the aching sense that i got when i read it. fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, childrens, friends... their letters and wishes were all there. but then the only thing that i regretted for the whole event was actually because my phone can't seem to show words that are present on the sacks. but then there are cute pictures too, i'll let the pics do the job of description...

dunno what flower this is but i think it's poppy.


when i saw this picture, the first reaction that i got was 'ahh, la bi xiao xing!!' (crayon shinchan)

simple as i love you

can't remember what's on the sack already but i think it is for a friend.

hope, love and lifei dunno why they put a coconut tree there, probably they want you to be asian's isaac newton and tell you to ''wake up!! BE VERY AWARE of CANCER!!'' but higher chances are you'll faint straight away and wake up stupider!okay this is like one-sixth of the number of people present in the area. so sorry, can't seem to get it to rotate!

the crying period

our bio A2 is currently covering on biodiversity. so in accordance to the chapter our bio teacher showed us a video that really had almost all the girls in our class cry. ok, so i named this the crying period. u'll understand why later. and if u r an animal lover or will cry at any cruelty or sad events, please skip the next paragraph.

actually when the video started, it actually showed a small raccoon-like animal struggling with all its 4legs while being hanged suspended from a man's hand. then the man actually swung this animal with full force and smashed it on the ground. this was already horrible, and you could actually hear the animal crying out, as if all the sound it made was unintentional and forced out of its lungs. then the cameras actually turned on to an Alsatian dog. like the small raccoon animal, it was also hanged suspended by its tail while struggling furiously to get out of their grasp. perhaps the most heart breaking thing at that time was hearing the dog howl in horror as the hunter wielded his knife and started to cut the fur coat of the dog from it penis. from there onwards, the man just tore the skin off the dog while men who were surrounding the scene were jesting on how amusing the event looked to them. when the tearing reached the head, they yanked the whole skin off forcefully and then threw the still breathing dog to a heap of carcasses beside the man. at the time, the dog was breathing in an agonizing manner, no tears, no sound, just the harsh breathing of a rough pink-fleshed animal with only hints of their former fur around the sockets of their eyes, lying there, almost too wiped out from a staggering amount of pain. there were like around thousands of captive animals there, some were hitting against the cage, trying to escape while the others just sat quietly, trembling, knowing anyway that they were going to die. can you imagine that those beautiful sleigh dogs that were shown as happy, playful, hardworking big alive bundles of white and grays in tv being submitted to such a life? and do you know why they kept those animals alive while butchering them? they kept them so because the fear they produce will induce hormones in their bodies to keep the fur soft. this is just so purely disgusting, yuck!

although i didn't cry throughout the whole video, i felt as if some parts of me had just died, just like that and i felt so numb in some sense that i couldn't feel anymore emotions surrounding me than only being aware that i dammed up something in myself. i could only hear what the teacher said throughout the lecture afterward but all of those words just had no meaning anymore.

i went into that phase a lot of times in my life, but when it became too much, i had a lot of trouble going back to normal again. although i understand what such things does to my life, it was not something that u get use to.

but i just want to say this, if u see someone selling furcoats on the streets (usually when u go to the north) or in any place else, DO NOT BUY!! really, you'll regret ur spur of the moment when you meet these animals, because they are truly beauties of nature and BEAUTIES STAY ALIVE WITH EVERYTHING ATTACHED TO THEM! anyway, fur coats are not suitable for humans, they make you look like big bird from sesame street. if they did, then we would have them sprouting throughout our bodies (which most people will shave off !!)

stressed out!

hey, everybody in their whole miserable life will hit this point at many parts of their lives!! i practically am pulling out my hair this time. retaking all of the subjects meant that i will sit for 12 damned papers, and i asked myself the whole time, why did i take science when i was young. oh yea, i remember my so-called expectation made me do it. but then i love nothing more than science, i should have known when to quit and when to start sometimes. nvm about my random babbling, nobody will understand me through this haze anyway...

okay, so i really want to strangle cambridge. at the first few months this semester, i thought that maybe cambridge will start their practical at the end of may and start all those written exams by the start of june. how was i to know that THEY actually set the date at the middle of may and end it by the start of june. I AM PRACTICALLY dead meat.... i must study real hard this time and there will be no more fooling around like last year!!! o damn, the finality of everthing is I MUST STUDY not only study but STUDY A DAMNED LOT!!!

o and everyone else take my advice, study hard too and all the best in your exams!

p/s: never mind me, i am freaking insane right now!

valentines!!!

oh yea just changed my background to suit the valentines mood. anyway, happy valentine's day everybody!!! if anyone got dates then treat your partner well okay, or else for boys: you'll get kicked on the shin by the end of the day, for girls: he'd be damned broke that he couldn't buy you presents for 14th of march, april, may, june , july and so on... haha, just kidding, enjoy your day!!!

my day out yesterday

okay, i noe its kind of my fault that i haven't posted a blog since god knows when. so sorry about that... wow, i don't really know how buzy i really am these days, just got my internet 3 days ago. honestly if you happen to want to sign up for streamyx (broadband) in malaysia then you need to prepare to lay down some money for your car fuel as well. since i am not staying in my previous address anymore, i had to shift my address from one end of penang to the other. to do that i had to open up my eyes for available parking lot in a traffic jam-proned city. and as everybody knows, the police in malaysia are so damned efficient when it comes to taking down the car plate number and of course in collecting fines. which policemen wouldn't be then if it comes to adding incentives to their staid and stoic income? to be honest, i would do that too. as for streamyx, well, i asked for a change of address 2 months ago, had to go to the office by myself for like 5 to 6 times per month. 3 times were for the installation of my new telephone line, and the rest for the activation of my internet and i thought it was only Brunei who were severely inefficient when it comes to work... no offence, i am just talking about the people who wronged me when i was there, (which is quite a scant number)...

oh yea enough of my internet connection, yesterday i just went out with friends to watch benjamin button. it was actually a last minute decision. well if you want me to comment about the movie, then i'll only say this: it is not what you would normally rate a fantastic show, nor is it a bad one, but then the show is definitely interesting. it will really keep you on your feet until the very last second of the show. my friend even shed tears when brad pitt became a kid. you all should watch it then you'll know what i am talking about. see that picture above? the lil man is actually brad pitt, the effect of the makeup is unbelievable. have you all seen the trailer? if you did, then you'll get quite a good summary of the show, but then suprisingly you'll still get a lot of new things popping out. so i'll say this, two-thumbs up to the author!!!


have you all heard about the Kim Gary restaurant before? see the black and white 'wall' where a lot of people are sitting behind that. that is the restaurant. well it is actually opened by a hongkee (i think), with the hong kong actor Kim Gary as their representative. one of the menu pages from the restaurant
well we actually went there to eat yesterday, so if you live in malaysia and also have an mJ card, then you'll get a 5% off your total bills. well guess what the 5% was all about... i'll tell you anyway, when you go to any restaurant in malaysia, they will have all those promotions set so strikingly on the table and beside the restaurant entrance itself. then when you finish your food, your bill will always come this way:

the long list of food you ordered
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
.
.
.
then comes your 5% offer (wow you will feel really happy here!!!)
.
.
.
then comes the goverment taxes, which is the same price as the 5% offer
(now you thought okay, no prob, anyway nothing in this world is free, but the bill still goes on...)
.
.
.
service charge (you think okay, nvm anyway they work hard too)
but then guess what when you look at the price... wah!!! the price is the twice the amount of the discount prices and the goverment taxes. haha, it was really funny that no one around me showed any expressions when they looked at the prices. our total bill was 108 so the service charge was around 11 to 12 dollars. you really have to take down your hat and bow to the financial manager of the restaurant.
anyway apart from the bill itself, the food was actually quite well done. i like to think that they speciallize more on the line where western meets eastern delicacies, but if you are conscious of your body size then be prepared for a full week of diet meals after you take a meal there.

o about the next pic, it is actually taken from our shopping spree in the same malls several weeks ago. had really a lot of fun dressing up in the same t-shirt. my friend, maybelle said that we look like a group of waitress with a manager in the middle.friends going from top,clockwise: xinrou, fennie, canness, alexis,me, maybelle, li xuen, hooi ying.

actually the t-shirts in malaysia are nice right? i didn't look quite as nice in that tee though, haizz, it always goes down to me not filling out any clothes... nvm, anyway, who says i don't look nice in this pic!
