Welcome 2009

Another year has gone by and it’s time to welcome the Year of Cow. 2008 was not a very good year for me but it had been an exciting one. I’m glad that we can finally bid farewell to the Year of Rat. Maybe it’s the nature of rats that made 2008 a bad year. They steal, they contaminate, they put human lives in jeopardy and they live like parasites.

Cows on the other hand, are strong, hardworking and independent animals. They can tolerate the sun during the hottest time of the year without going down with a heatstroke, being hit by a car (and killing the driver) and still walking and moo-ing like a mother cow, eating so much of grass and vomiting all out when no one’s looking and still not diagnosed with obesity or bulimic. Oh dear.

Anyway I was just trying to say that with such persistence and perseverance (of a cow's) I think the year 2009 will bring some positivity and optimism in us.

Never say die before you die!

It’s only the 27th but starting from tomorrow onwards I’ll be working on my university stuff again. So here’s an early wish to all.

Wishing all fellow Malaysians, friends and family a very Happy Bullish Year and may year 2009 brings us some luck and joy!! (something which I badly need now).


Kean signing off~

p/s : I stumbled upon a shouting cow on the net. Check this out. She's kinda cute.

Eat my tongue!

I say eat it!

MOOOoooar!!

Toldja! I didn't lie right? :)

My broken Vincci

Yesterday was Christmas and boy was the mall packed! Never seen before crowd. Even when our country is having a recession. hmm.. I guess everyone decided to cancel their plans to go abroad for the holidays at the eleventh hour. And these people who cut down on their overseas trip made tours to shopping malls in KL. Result, homosapiens overpouring from every corner of the mall. Could hardly walk! and breathe! Scary.

But I’m contented with my purchases. Luckily I was early. Like they say, the early bird catches the early worm. TWEET! heehee. Love my Christmas presents and the Christmas shoppings. And YES! man was really really really funny. I think it’s the best movie Jim Carrey had ever done so far. It's just plain hilarious! I still laugh to myself when I think of it. :)

I had my AHA treatment earlier and now I look like a leopard with pink spots on the face. I had no idea what went on my face but during the first round, my face was burning. Apparently that was the AHA cream. But it felt like cili padi. SPICY! PAINFUL! The second round was the mask. I could hardly breathe at all. It was like someone just poured the whole bottle of Calvin Klein EDP into my nose. Now I need Mum to come claim me before someone calls the Wildlife Department to put me back in the jungle.

So I’m tweeting away now~ tata~

yadda yadda yadda. break me. break my neck.

Great. Just great. My first term result was supposed to be out today. TODAY. Everyone knows theirs. But not me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tell u why. Because my freaking company did not pay for my accommodation fees. Or more like they were not sent a bill. And now the university is holding back my results!! NICE. I knew the people at my hostel had something against me. I knew it! They did it on purpose! Out of nowhere a hundred bucks for some “aktiviti khas”. Aktiviti khas my foot lah! That was hari raya’s celebration ok! Fug off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok. Maybe I was just being a bit too emotional. But why is there suddenly an accrued balance in my account?? I don’t do the paying. My company does! My company builds the NPE and LDP and basically the roads in Puchong. Don’t u dare say they can’t even afford to pay RM96.30!!!! That's totally out of question. They would have paid if given an invoice of the expenses I incurred. It had to be an inside job!!!!!

I'm so angry!!! I need to scream!


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!






no Mum. I'm not being raped. fug.

Facebookoholic

Facebooking is very time-consuming. Each time when I log in I tell myself to approve only what’s necessary and reject the unimportant ones. But most of the applications seemed very interesting! One thing led to another and now, I have a pet.

She’s the most beautiful being I’ve ever seen. I never thought I would have a pet again. I used to have a hamster when I was 16. But she got killed by my sister’s. The battle of the hams. Tragic. This time I’m gonna take good care of my Butterflypie. She’s so fat and chubbyyYY! Anyone who sees her will like her. With those big sparkling eyes and cute pink snout and the oh-so-girly red ribbon, I can never stop caring for her!!!! She makes this pig snoring sound each time when I brush her chest. And she loves the ball a lot! =D

Presenting... Miss BUTTERFLY PIE!

Isn’t she just cute? :)

Oh, look who’s hiding behind her. It’s kuih koci! Puddy’s pet. He’s a bit shy. aww..

Hanging out at koci’s.

Butterpie loves the bathub!

I haven’t been able to log into Pet Society today. The internet connection is terrible. So if anyone has some extra coins, do buy Butterpie some food and furniture! Just click on the link below. Easy peasy~ (:

Power out! 2 days in a row

Thanks to technology am able to continue Facebooking even when the power is out. I thought maybe Mum forgot to pay the bills. Or maybe we’re using too much of it – the tv, the computer, the air conditions, the microwave. Hee hee. I don’t know. I was watching American Gladiator in the living room when the whole house suddenly went black. Pitch black. Eerie~

Luckily I’ve got my laptop battery fully charged. Otherwise I would be stabbing myself with the butter knife to death. Now typing in the dark is kinda spooky too. *shudder* Candle's almost done burning. Signing ofF~~

The 14th Asean University Games

This year Malaysia is playing host to the 14^th Asean University Games and TONIGHT is the opening ceremony at Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil! Wished I could be part of it but unfortunately it came at the wrong time.

There are a few ways to become a member of the Games. Firstly, is to be the participant. But since my university’s swim team failed miserably at the inter-varsity swimming competition, guess it’s obvious that we’ve not made it in as contestants. BUT! We can still be part of it by being a volunteer. Well I did send it a couple of forms and went to some registrations, but in the end, I gave up. I didn’t know that there were so many preparations prior to the Games and it started as early as in the month of August! And this year is quite a busy one for me. There were just too many workshops to attend.

The AUG is quite a rare event. That's why I want to be part of it. It makes us special. It makes me feel special. :> At least we're not competing against the REAL Asean athletes. Coz we're nowhere near them! hehe.

Let’s us all watch the events at the following places:

1. Archery Stadium UPM Serdang
2. Athletics Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil
3. Badminton Stadium Badminton Cheras
4. Basketball MABA Arena Kuala Lumpur
5. Beach Volleyball Kompleks Sukan Bukit Jalil
6. Football Stadium Petronas Bangi, Stadium Maybank Bangi
7. Futsal Kompleks Sukan Panasonic Shah Alam
8. Golf Kelab Golf Danau UKM Bangi => right next to the pool! You can see it from the KTM actually.
   
9. Hockey Stadium Hoki Nasional Bukit Jalil
10. Karate Do Dewan Canselor Tun Abdul Razak UKM Bangi => the place where we sit for exams. Hope nobody dies there. Heehee.
11. Squash Kompleks Skuasy UKM Bangi => somewhere behind Dectar
    
12. Swimming Pusat Akuatik Nasional Bukit Jalil => Puddy's nest!
    
13. Table Tennis Dewan Gemilang UKM Bangi => the haunted building. so they say.
    

If you wanna know more, go to www.aug2008.com.my. Be there or be square!

RAR! (ain’t letting you see my swollen eye. Hee hee)

It’s coming!

I realized that the more I sleep, the more lethargic I feel. But the less I sleep, the more zombie-ic I'll be!

Today I discovered a fun and smart way to identify the tiny figures on the weighing machine. I should have known! To tell the truth, I hate dawdling over the weighing scale. Sometimes when I eat too much I have to suck in all those extra fats to get a clear view of those tiny figures all the way down between my feet. Sometimes when I’m too lazy to wear my glasses, I have to squint so hard it makes me dizzy and I see stars! A friend of mine once told me to get an accurate reading of our weight, we have to strip naked. Because the clothes on our body are a bit too...weighty? Well that is a bit too extreme I think.

Anyway, I woke up this morning with that usual pain in my head. I have been trying to trim down on coffee. Taking half a cup every day. It’s working. My dependency on caffeine seems to be shrinking! :) But I still do have the woozy head. When I jumped onto the weighing machine I had trouble making out the numbers on the scale. Then...I remember! There was this drama I watched last night. And AHA!

I took my mobile phone out, shove the camera in the middle, zoom 150% and CLICK! The result...

51 kg! Save me all the trouble. Ngek ngek.

In the afternoon, after sushi & low fat milk, 20 mins of cycling, 15 mins of aerobic and 20 mins of mopping a double storey house.

53! :( why??? Whyyyyy???

Looks like I've just gained weight from all the working out sessions. HUH!

But I’ve once read that we tend to weigh more in the afternoon when the room temperature is slightly higher. Because of the heat, the metal expands and bla bla bla (all the science related thingy) and thus - extra weight! So I guess it's normal right? Or maybe it’s just me trying to console myself. Hmm... whatever.

Girls day out tomorrow! Yay~~

My diary now blog

Christmas is in 2 weeks time. And this is the 1st time I'm celebrating it with Caffeine Addict in blogspot! =) The top of my Christmas wish list is to have 100 posts by the end of year 2008. Will I or will I not be able to reach one double zero before the new year? I very very very much hope I could.

This week had been a rough week for me. Apparently my source of inspiration is a few thousand miles away. Over the mountains and across the ocean. I was inspired to come up with Caffeine Addict because of this special one. I know it sounds cliche but I'm motivated to write because I want to get close to him. Spiritually.

That's part of it. Another reason why I spent hours and days to pen down things that happened in my life is that I've always wanted a life journal. I remember when I was 13 years old, I used to write in a blue diary which I've always hid under my bed. I'm not sure if anyone ever reads it, but inside I see a troubled teenage girl who's always trying to cope with life. A lot of it was about weight issues. Thank goodness I've got it disposed. Never want to look back at those dark times I had. Like they say, let bygones be bygones.

Now this blog is more to the optimistic side of me. Although I must admit I still rant and complain a lot. Change needs time! People can change. As long as it's for good. Tomorrow I'll be helping Mum with some chores. Hope I'll be inspired or motivated to write something. And I hope I'll get my e-mails replied.

Till then, nite nite.

Channel-hopping

At one point, I thought my eyesight was getting so bad I would go blind. Luckily. I wasn’t! I held the Ctrl panel down a bit too long and accidentally pull the scroll button on my mouse. The result everything looks smaller! Haha. Ohmeytohfort. Been watching lots of tv lately. Flipping between channels whenever possible!

Puddy’s not around for the entire week. And texting him is 7 times higher. Talk about calling. Still, texting Digi users is the highest. Twice the rate I'm texting an overseas Puddy. Sigh... nvm. He promised to come back with souvenirs. And I’ve got a replacement. The evil monster from the medical hall. *screams!!!*

Sis's back for the midsem break

20 years ago, my home is my world. My world is my home. She was my only playmate. And also the bully! I hate her. But she was my sister.

Look how cuddly I was. (Check out Genting Highlands in 1990!)

20 years later. My home is not my world anymore. She's now my now-u-see-now-u-don't shopping buddy. Irritating me from time to time. And still the bully!!

Somewhere in 2005


The friend. The bully. The enemy. She turns 22 today.
Selamat Hari Jadi, sis!!!

Guess it's time for u to start pumping in those Collagen. hee hee.

t hee..

Quite a pain in the... knees?

It was quite a long queue today. Even after being told that there will be long lines at the bank I insist that we go out late morning. I was just too lazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Ever since the holidays started, I've been bumming around and became so laid back that people around me are starting to get annoyed. Sori, couldn't help it!

Well all the hoo-ha this morning was actually the opening of Amanah Saham Malaysia to the public OR more accurately, the non-bumiputeras. My first try was at the CIMB in Seremban oldtown. The ATMs ran out of cash. The lines were long. The building was crowded. AND IT WAS STUFFY! Mum could hardly get a parking space. So we gave up and made a dash to the Seremban 2's branch.

In S2, we got a parking space! But the bank was also crowded. I took my number and went loitering around the area. Then we spotted a secluded Maybank few blocks away and aha! it was not as crowded.

Time : 12.00pm.
I filled in the forms and waited patiently for my turn at counter 3.

Time : 12.30pm.

The queue was not long. There were only about 10 people ahead of me. But what took the teller so long? I looked around. I was still at the same spot!

Time : 1.30pm.

2 more people ahead of me. I can do it. I can do it! The children running around me in circles did not do me any good. BUT. I. CAN. DO. IT!

Time : 2.30pm

WHY IS THE WOMAN STILL HERE???? Still 2 more. WHY? WHY??? Coz she brought her son, 3 daughters, niece, sisters and husband along. WHY??????

Time : 3.10pm

My turn! FINALLY! I happily put 2 thumb prints and submit both my ID card and forms to the teller. She looked around for awhile and told me to come back at 4.30pm. WHY? So am I in? She replied, "Awak balik ambik je". So may I know you're Miss... (despite seeing she's pregnant. could be a bastard child u see). And she went, "takpe takpe. you terus datang kaunter ni ambik je.ok sir please." Calling another patron and shutting me up. That was rude. I'm leaving my ID card and money with someone and at some place I do not know. So is it wrong to ask who tha hell are u? YOU ARE ONLY A TELLER! Or maybe you're just too embarrassed with that bulge in your stomach. Forget it. Don't get me cursing again. I've waited that long anyway.


So I went to a nearby mall and spent some miserable hours there. Not that miserable actually. I got myself a super thick magazine and 2 gifts! hee hee. While happily eating my chocolate Sundae in MCD, I got a call from Maybank requesting me to return to the bank, take my money and buy my ASM elsewhere. WTF! I waited that long and now you telling me to take my money back?????

I was angry, obviously. Seeing the long queue at the same counter, I demanded an explanation. Why did you take my money when you couldn't offer me what I want? What about all these people? Why do they still get to apply and not me! I was about to throw the fire extinguisher on her face when one of the auntie in the queue speaked up. "We're not buying ASM lah. We r just banking in money oni." (-_-)" die. paiseh shit. but still, why did you keep my documents and gave me hopes when you think you couldn't fulfil what you're offering! Well too embarrassed to go on. I lost my anger. Humiliation came! shit. damn malu d. I replied with a single O, blank face and a quick dash to the exit. Cursing my way back to the CIMB which I've taken my number earlier.

Time : 4.00pm.

The number I was holding : 2090. Current status : 2052.

Time : 4.15pm.

Still at 2052. A man came in. He looked familiar. He smiled at me. And ah! I remember him. He was just right in front of me in Maybank. We complained about the phone call and the unethical staff at Maybank. Turned out that this man came to CIMB earlier like I did but went to Maybank later on. So he was at 2081.

Time : 4.35pm

2071.. 2079... 2081! It was pretty fast. The man was kind enough to offer me to tag along but I rejected seeing that my number is almost there. Although feeling really stupid after that.

Time : 4.45pm

2087.. 2089... The lady went up to the counter. Followed by another woman. And an old man. And a young boy. WHAT? All 4 of them! They were there for quite some time when an Indian man with really ugly moustache came out and said something to the bank manager. He nodded. Then he announced, "Alright people. ASM is closed. Please come back another day. I'm so sorry. Please leave." -_-''''''''''' I felt so naked. Why?



Me : Helo Ma? Can you come pick me at the bank now?
Mum : NOW? I'm cooking lah. I pick you at 6 pm.
Me : Ok loh. (mumble : i've waited the whole afternoon anyway)
Mum : HAH? What?
Me : Ohh, nothing nothing. k lah. babai.

One whole day of waiting. Quite a good way to past time hmm?
