Hmm what in store for July... well i have plan lots of running. I think I want to run my 1st marathon next Feb. Why? Well its something that’s been nagging at the back of my mind and I'm unemployed or as one of my friends put it I'm a budding architect. Now I have way... to much free time. So more postings for all of you to read, if it's worth reading that is...

Note to self: Stick with it you idiot!

Blurred and jaded

The past few weeks has been quite busy with academic work (i.e. doing lab demonstrations and grading 120 lab reports). By the time I finished I had a huge headache and was talking funny.

Anyways just wondering how many of you out there has read this months Cleo M’sian ed. One particular article sort of pissed me off, well just annoyed me actual. The title was ‘5 ways to ask a guy out’. I’m not sure about you guys out there but I feel a bit short changed.

Consider this: Every other self-help list in that magazine has at least 10 ways to do something. e.g. 10 signs to tell if your guy is cheating on you or 10 ways to spiced up in the bed room or 10 signs that you guys are meant your each other, get the point.

However when it came to asking a guy out they could only come up with FIVE, not six, seven or eight BUT FIVE. If you have read it the ‘pick up’lines are not exactly mind blowing. They are like ‘Hi, can I get you a drink’ to ‘Hi, cute T-shirt can I get you a drink’ to just ‘Hi’.

It like saying 'Hey all ya girs out there guys are very pretty easy just use one of our 5 lines you are bound a get a guy'. Guess we aren't that complicated to figure out huh.

Do I think it will work? Sure why not I’ll probably take the drink and leave, unless you look superficially good but how many good looking girls would do that try to pick up a guy.

Think about it these lines are more of a conversation starters at bars or clubs and they are the worst places to have a conversation.

If a guy said the same thing to you girls I wonder will it work.

note to self: When in hell am I going to figure out what I want.

Holy matrimony (2)

If love makes the world go round then you know what turns it upside down…. (I think)

Infatuation is when you think that he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as Jimmy Conners. Love is when you realize that he's as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Conners, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger, and nothing like Robert Redford--but you'll take him anyway.
-- Judith Viorst

In the end this is what I believe whether you are married or not……

To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.

-- Lenny Bruce


Some personal favourites…..

Holy matrimony (1)

I wonder are events like marriage seasonal. Past few weeks, I either know someone who’s engage or is planning to. Some of my good friends are making the big leap while a few has already tied the knot and most of them are around my age i.e. below are average marrying age.

Since I’m not exactly the most qualified person of talk about this topic I did consult a few people who were. And some of them agreed with me on certain aspects of marriage…

Dating is more fun, right?

To be con’t…..

Its celebration time c'mon

It's that time of the year again.

It's the eve of the Chinese new year and I would be looking forward tonight's reunion dinner. This year it's going to be different, for the first time we are going to have it at my grandfather's place and that means a new dinner menu!

An aunt, uncle and 2 cousins would be overseas during this CNY. So got to keep the men fed as no one will be cooking for them that is if my mom get the prized fish for the laksa, it's really really absolutely the embodiment of a home cooked meal (that means it taste good without the MSG).

CNY is KL for me is a quite affair. No traffic jams, no idiots on the road, no pesky humans blocking my path, no queuing, etc. I can get to anywhere in KL in 15 minutes for less. Absolute charming of a city to drive in!

The weather during CNY here gets pretty hot, with clear skies and blazing hot sun. Compounded by the bright coloured clothes people wear you'll probably fell hotter than it actually is. Oh and we just love to visit our relatives some we see just once a year or 2 if there is a wedding or went someone has reached its expiry date.

We normally pick a day and go house hoping. During these visit the children like me (you're not an adult till you're married) would keep ourselves assumed with TV, food and gambling while the adults chatter away. It can get so loudly that I turn the TV volume just a little louder than their and they and the tv would be having a mini competition who can bring the roof down.

When the celebration is over on 15th day of CNY or Chap Goh Mei. I would be counting this year's collections after the gambling and alcohol. The money generally gets lesser when you get older for some reason and when you get married you start to lose as you start giving. (and during this time probably some girls are trying to get hitch by throwing oranges into the Klang river). Sigh.... as to all good time an end has to come.

Happy New Year again.

I saying with all the joy in the world, like I said before not everybody gets to celebrated 2 new years or more in a year (you have to be Chinese or Malaysian).

Spectacles??

An old classmate from my primary called up on Monday and decided that we should have a drink together with some old classmates. Here the thing I found strange, he still has my number after 13 years of no contact.

So there were 5 of us sitting at Starbucks at Times Square having a conversation amidst the rumbling of renovation going that night.

Here the thing, we haven’t met for 13 years, we weren’t in the same clique so I curious; what's there to talk about? During my days in primary school I have to few close friend but lost touch over the years.

So we and began cheerfully with the ‘how are-yous’ and ‘long time you see’. It was down hill from there. The conversation deteriorated into the use-to-be-bad-boy-of-class self promotion of his life and the ups and downs as a salesman of anything to do with eyewear.

Here I thinking at least by the end to the night we would at least know what went on after our lives after primary school, reminisce about the good old days. But the truth is I can’t remember much about those days. I have long forgotten and the only memories I have are a few photographs. Except the few good and embarrassing moments, those you can’t really forget even if you tried.

So I am thinking what the point, we have nothing in common and yet I went. I went hoping we could find that we still had some common other than being in the same class together. Turns out we don’t have then and we still don’t have it now. At the end of the night I wonder how many meaningless friendships and award conversation do I really need. C’mon then let not waste any of our precious time, not even for old times sake.

Well some good did come out of it. Now I know who to call to get a discount for my new pair of spectacles when I need one.

AArrrgh I ruined my brand new Nike shirt!


Boo Hoo! My just ruined my new Nike jersey. I was just trying it on and while putting it back on the hanger that that oh so terrible sound when a piece of clothe tears. Shit I felt I ripped my own heart out at that moment. It never even get to see the light of day and this has to happen. Now every time I wear it I’ll always notice that small little irritating tear on my rigth shoulder even though no one else will. Sigh……

Oh by the way I was goin watch that Hugh Grant movie today cause there was any electricity at my house little did I know that the whole KL blackout. Later in the 8 o’clock news its was reported that the bottom half of the peninsular was experiencing a blackout. Weird…

U can imagine the thoughts I have while walking to KLCC. Like gosh I can live without electircity, this is what dooms day will be like, the dread of walking among the lifeless working class and the though that I’ll be stuck in a cubical was unbearable (shrugs).

Note to self: girls now should learn how to cook.

Guilty conscience anyone?

I made some unsound decision in the past but I have never never ever regretted it. So why do some people still try to make me feel guilty about what I’ve done.

These people, if all of you should know are well respected by society. The general population would have been awed by their accomplishments, yet how quick they are to judge people without knowing all the fact.

I admit I made a risky decision but that’s what this field and living is all about. Just because it didn’t pay off does not give them the right to criticise and condemn my decision as if it was the biggest mistake of my life. To put things in perspective it would have only affected me and only me. I made that decision for me and I don’t expect any of you to understand it.

In fact it was one to the best decision I have ever made. I actually would have regretted if I didn’t take that risk.

So quit telling me about what should have and shouldn’t have done cause it’s just going to bounce of me like a rubber ball and against a brick wall.

Note to self – Arrgh!! missed the opening episode of Charmed. Alyssa is looking gooood[Drooling]

A great day to be alive

Another year has pass for all of us. This year I have learned a lot about myself, my limitations and potential but basically my limitations.

This year ended in with a lost of many lives due to a natural disaster. I read many messages saying how much we the human race has forgotten, how god is punishing us for whatever our sins. To me there isn’t a ‘spiritual’ or godly explanation for how or why it happened. It just did like everything else. Just the same as the many decision I or we make this everyday, wise and unwise it just happens. We can only lick our wounds and recovered from this and whatever tragedy that befall us.

I feel there is still a glimmer of hope but still being cynical at the same time that the human race has reach stage in their psychological development to say ‘Hey the world is not about me, me and me’. Bravo to the immediate aid, generous donations, (not include those who gave trophies, torn bras etc. oh how thoughtful some people can be) the US 4 bill promised (which I doubt will be either not be fulfilled if not mismanaged). Ironically I can see in the local papers everyday people posing with HUGE mock cheques. We still have a long way to go. I still have a long long way to go.

Did I mention I took a holiday in Florida visiting Disney World. I came back not with not just a bunch of souvenirs but also a different perspective and a clear picture of what I want. Yeah who woulda expect you could get all that from visiting the local hero Mickey mouse. After some soul searching I realised how lucky I am and how many people would like to be in my shoes (well except my love life unless you like being single).

Last year I learnt about the hardships of just being alive and the complexities of our society does not make it easier which got me so down emotionally that I neglected so many things, but that’s another story. So this year after recovering some “bear necessities”, I made a wish upon a star hoping they would all come true. I can’t tell u what I wish for cant I or I’ll jinx it.

Ciao for now people. Happy New Year! (Being Chinese I celebrate it twice a year, more if you’re a Malaysian. That’s how lucky I am)

Welcome 2005. Happy New Year!

Peace on earth, Please!


p.s.: very very very hectic month december was. I don't even know where to begin.

Of one of my favourite things.........

I should be leaving this blog alone but its too tempting.......

What is the game football becoming!! Is Totti a fairy? For godsake neon yellow spandex underwear? Mutu is a junky so is Ashley Cole, he's playing with junk-food more specifically a PIZZA (with extra chesse- more sticky he threw it at Sir Alex F.). But you gotta hand it to him the got some balls.

And why Sir Alex wont sue, maybe cause he's Scottish; you'd probably have to a throw haggis at him.

ciao

more like i m to busy with my project.

don't miss me

note to self: i just turned 24, why why why?


b'day cake (it's choc. banana yum)

Is this what I want to do?


Boy i been asking myself this question since the begining of the year. I still don't have the answer but i have a whole ot other things I want to do.

I want to backpack in spain, france and italy then move on the south america

I want to save the animals especially the tiger and coral reefs in this Malaysia where half the time people thing that cutting down tree won't killed them at the end of the day.

I want to have the childerns programme for sciences cause the one the have know sucks

I want to read a book without being interupted by a million other things

I want be be able to express myself better when I write and stop trying to think of the right words all the time.

But for now i need to get back to work and I feel like sleeping.

FYI: 17 -19 of September is "clean up the world" weekend. My uni mates and I are going P.D. tommorrow pick up rubbish. It part of a global effort to keep the world clean and this year's theme is sea and oceans.

Crunch Crunch!

Oh yeah I'm begining to feel the heat. I dawning upon me I have done of thing to do on top of that I have problems with my project, meaning more things do to. I'll have to reschedule my work plan. Nooooooo! THis is the best part about doing science research, it ALWAYS obey murphy's law; what can go wrong will go wrong. SO that what I've been getting the whole week unexpected results. I wish my love life was this interesting.

Funny thing happened this week. I went to get my passport done. While I was collecting it i didnt bother to check my detail as I assumed that the officer had already check it. I went to uni using the LRT and while waiting for my train i decided to look at my brand new passport. Check the spelling of my name, i.c. number and when I looked under sex I was shocked it was stated i was a PEREMPUAN-P. Yes in capital letter, well everything was in capital letter. Luckly the mistake could be correct that morning itself. Af first i wanted to actually to leave it alone and wonder what would happen if I used it would i able to fool the immigration check point? Hmm I wonder. Could i just say i had a sex change, eer wait i cant prove that.

so whatever so much for finding out what could happen.

note to self: i need i break but i can have one yet. must force body to work. damn wish i taken a year off and join green peace.

THIS WEEK WAS HELL.

If you can mesure how thick a piece of paper is that was how close I was to loosing my temper. I was already in a bad mood because of my work and now a have to "babysit" three 3rd year students. I'll leave out the detail but one thing is for sure they sure are not using their grey matter often enough. Their excuse for what ever they are doing is Dr. So and so ask them to do so. Great answer for someone that has had 2 1/2 years of UNIVERSITY EDUCATION! THink like a god damn scientist for god's sake, be sceptikal. that's the first and foremost rule of being a scientist. It's simple as using of god given common sense. Question what you are doing only that way you'll understand the purpose why it is done that way and the many other ways of doing the same thing.

okay now i feel much better sigh.... back to the labs.

"I have heard it all before"
 
I can’t say your name.
It would betray everything I believed in,
I want to say so bad that I scream it to myself silently
You have taken a part of me,
Part of me I didn’t even know could be taken,
What hope that it’ll ever be returned.
I don’t think you even know it,
You left me here with the misery, the burden
The loneliness, OH! Damn the loneliness.
Trap in a cage, huddled in a corner.
I screamed your name in hatred and anger.
Cursing the day I first heard
That still lingers in my ear …….
That is your name…..

"Hello"

I got a visit from you. Quite unexpected.
I saw you with a child. You usher him off. You looked happy,… motherly.
I was busy..  you were busy…. Wish you could stay I bit longer just a minute longer.
I had to go. So do you.
We didn’t say good bye and you left. I stand to see you go off with and wonder it I’ll see you again.
I’ll see you in my dreams.
I’ll be there if you’ll are there.
 
Did I say hello?
I wanted to say hello
