what makes me smile...
I get all smiley even with the tiny little things. Like when...
-I get a text from you
-I have crazy little chats with you
-I just think of all the fun, crazy moments we had
-I see the flashing orange name of yours on my screen
-I hear your name being mentioned
-I know I'm going to see you soon
-I know you're happy and enjoying your life
-You tell me everything is going to be ok
-You make me feel good about myself
-You make me laugh
But...it sucks when I realized I can't have you. Because I pulled myself away from you.
Why? Because you're just out of my reach.
Do I regret? Sometimes... Which is silly of me because it's my own doings.
But overall as a whole... No. As I believe there's another fish out there just like you, but within my reach.
Swim to me fishy, SWIM SWIM SWIM!
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming - finding my nemo?

why the 4th finger?
-I'm not enjoying the past few days which is kinda stupid of me coz the weather is so lovely. (stupid thoughts, go away!!)
-I wish I'm like Spring. All bright, cheerful and colourful.
But today's an exception.
-Foggy in the morning - i love fogs for some reason, feels genting highland-ish
-sunny in the afternoon
-sat under the sun during lunch
-went to albert park after spanish for group discussion and sun-tanning at the same time
all these results into an uneven skin tone shermayne. Woohoo!
Mr.Sun have soaked up all my worries and unpleasant thoughts...i think?
You might have heard of it before but I just find it so amazing. Don't know whether you would understand. Better to show u in person but ohh wellzzz....
Do you know why the wedding ring is placed on the 4th finger?
By the end of this, if my explanation is clear and you follow the instructions, you would know why.
First, place your palms together - front to front. Make sure the tips of your left hand fingers touch the tips of the right hand fingers.
Second, bend both the middle fingers inward. They represent yourself. Bending them inward signify strengthening your bond with your family.
Now, try separating the two thumbs apart. The thumbs represent parents. They can be opened because most parents will die before us and leave us behind.
Close up your thumbs. Then open your index finger. The index finger represents your siblings. One day, they will have their own family and will also leave us.Now close your index finger and open up your little finger. The little finger represents your children. Sooner or later they will also leave their you for their own family.
Then, close up your little finger. Finally, try to open your fourth finger where you would put your wedding ring.
Cannot open right?? Hard lerrr.... This is because it represents husband and wife and they will be attached to each other for their whole life. Cool right??
However, if you try really hard to separate it, you can. This shows that if you want to break up with your husband/wife, it would be really difficult to do so as the bond you have with him/her is very strong.Ok, that's it!! Have a nice day!!!! Hope tmrw and the day after tmrw, and the day after that and so on will be like today :)

YingSwan's 18th Bday Surprise
Anyhuuzz...Ying Swan's bday SURPRISE
The planning:
Two masterminds : Natalie and me. I'll just give you the link to the convo we had. So much easier for me. Hehehehehe.... This was on Saturday night, well, more like Sunday early morning.
The Sabotage Plan
On the day itself:
Happy 18th Birthday Ying Swan!!! Got a text from her saying she's going to buy herself a new top to wear for her dinner. Ohh no!!!! Tried persuading her the day before not to get a new top. Didn't work. She got a new top. Bahh! The plan must still go on since I already bought 24 eggs which are going to expire the next day. During dinner, we were still thinking whether to go ahead with the sabotaging. It has to coz I don't wna waste the eggs PLUS we have to do something to her so she can remember it for the rest of her life!!! Found out that Hulu Cat is close hence we decided to just tell her that Hulu Cat is open so we can still do the egg-ing outside Nat's place. Since darren didn't want to throw the eggs at her, managed to get yean and daniel to join the sabotage team and daniel can throw the first few eggs at her. Got better aiming skills than me.
After dinner....
"Ying Swan, I gotta go already. Parked my car at Parnell, have to start walking. I got Cinderella curfew. Happy Birthday!! Enjoy the rest of your night."
4 of us (me, yean, darren, daniel) waited in the car with all the ingredients all set out nicely in the back seat. When the time came, VROOM VROOM!! CharGEEEE!!!



The Masterminds with the Victim
You're a great sport, Swan!!!
i ponder....
When?? Time's really running out.
On the other hand,
I'm pretty much a happy person today. Went to have a jog at the beach today and clear my head, breathe some fresh air. Had tiramisu cake for celest's birthday which made me even happier coz I really had cravings for cake during lunch today. Dinner was quite good too. And and.... ice cream after that *big wide grin on my face*
Nitey nitez everyone :D

happy 18th bday yingswan!
Thanks for
- coming into this world in the same year as me and being younger than me :p.. ok larr.. I'll admit and give it to you larr...you may be younger but I'm more immature larr..hmph!!!
- skipping 7th form and come to uni instead – if you are still in 7th form, Iwon't be able to meet such an awesome person and I wouldn't even be writing this out. If I didn't know you, my lunch time would be so boring. I probably won't look forward to Sundays, won't be that active in UMSA and go for the events (it's true.. I always say... if you go, then only I go... hehehe.. I'm a follower).
- Embarrassing yourself so many times in front of me and let me make fun of you.. hehehe, more like I make fun of you but you don't get angry... hehehe,thanks larr!!!!
- Being my travelling buddy at Dunedin. You see, if it weren't for you, I most probably wouldn't go to Dunedin early and travel around first. Heck! I might not even go for Bersatu!!!!
- Always telling me you're going to do your assignment/study which makes me feel guilty for not doing mine hence making me go do some too!!! So hardworking larr you... Respect Respect!!!
- Blogging and keep me entertained
- Willing to teman me and do crazy things- MORE MORE MORE!! Must think of more things to do. I reckon' we should really stay a night in the airport next year when we go Christchurch. Wahahahaha!!!
- Meeting up with me for lunch most of the days so I won't be a loner and be bored during my break from 1-2.
Gosh!!! There's so many more things to thank you for but too many to list down. I'm just SUPER DUPER glad and thankful to have you as my friend. I can actually imagine my first year at uni without you. I'll be a loner and a lost kid who'll be so down everyday and still seeking for a group of people where I feel comfortable to be around with. I won't be able to sent out 333 texts msgs during the weekends, my phone will be very quiet and my weekends would be dead boring and I'll have nothing to look forward to. Life would be so mundane without you(wahlauu..sounds like some sort of lover to me or smth... don't simply interpret ar!). Hope you had a great 18th Birthday and sorry about the mess we made with your clothes. Hope the smell will wear off soon!!! Cheers to a great year ahead!!!!
nyehehehe... i just HAD to put this photo up.. sorry! hahahhaha!!! hope you like the present!!!!! and ooii!! no laughing in the library man! so bising!
Tuesday, September 19, 2006
Then, a question arised in my head: Does this mean I don't love myself? Ownnotes don't take properly, other people notes then do it properly. Why?Hmmnn..... something to ponder on. Gah! It's really true... I NEED to set my prorities right!!!!!!!!!

this week...
Monday: No class! woohoo!! slept in till 9.30. SYOKK!!!!! then went to uni later to try get some study done. end up meeting with swan and nat and start laughing. haha! i did managed to get some study done later on.
Went to K'rd with Swan instead. Met up with darren and had lunch at sri pinang. thanks for shouting us lunch!!! Later, Swan and I went shopping. K'rd have lots of dodgy shops lar...yuck! but didn't go in it.. went to an innocent looking shop to get her friend's present. they had cool stuff. walked around in it then.................. saw a section that sells dodgy stuff too..wahlau!!!
at 5, played indoor girls soccer. Wahh! haven't been exercising for ages! Felt so nice running around but then later got blisters. Don't know why. But yea, it was fun!! Suad saw me and she said :"good girl! u wagged spanish! u'll enjoy it tmrw!" lolx! i hope i do!
So at 10.43a.m..... *ding dong* *checks phone*
Y rnt u @ class u bum! wagging huh?I still didn't click.
Even replied..
Ermm...it's only 10 sumthin. Class don't start till 11.30! haha! u're there soearly! Now u've gta wait for an hr there!
Aiyoo!! So malu!! She replied telling me it's Friday hence it's sportsci102, not 104. Haihhh!! So yea, missed one hour of class.
Spanish at 2. Had a feeling I'm gonna sleep but.. didn't!! haha! it worked man!!! I was paying full attention in class somemore. Hope the same thing will happen the next time.
AT 4, went to wellesley to have discussions for deco for malam merdeka. AIyo! malu man! I didn't know what songket is. All the while I was thinking songket is songkok. *sigh*
Dikir barat practice after that. I'm really musically retarded larr.... even simple things like coordinating my hands whilst singing also cannot do.
At night, still full from lunch. Didn't want to go out for dinner again but decided to go to just be around them.
No Sports Sunday today hence we organized an outing to Auckland Domain. only 6 of us (me, swan, yin, shaun, darren and jeremy) turned up. Guess the rest are still sleeping in bed. Played touch. Should have worn shoes, so difficult to run. But hehehee... we (me, darren, jeremy) won!! hahaha!! i didn't do much. weakest link. lolx!! it was fun. laugh so much. very good very good.
after that, we ROLLED down the hill!!!!!! it was awesome!!! so funny also.. lolx!!! the feeling for me was very good. felt so care-free and worry-free. like nothing matters anymore. all the worries and thoughts just disappeared. must have rolled out my head whilst i was rolling down. the feeling was.......undescribable man!!! I suppose it's like kindy kids where they go to playgroud and just play. have no worries at all. I guess it's that kind of feeling that I had after rolling down. Good therapy session man! Free somemore!
But......Yingswan, jeremy and darren got pretty sick after that. Sorry!! i felt so bad for suggesting the rolling down the hill idea after seeing u all not feeling well. Sorry sorry!!! Especially yingswan! poor girl. went to rasa sayang and couldn't each much. haihhh.sorry sorry!!! but yea...thanks for doing it man!!!! i wouldn't do it alone... haha!
Went to uni after that to do assignment. fell asleep halfway. eeek! only done 3 sections. 3 more sections to go. Dinner after that at Grand Park at Alexandra's Park. Mum's friend's bday and anniversary. Two peking duck!!! wahhh! eat till so syok...but yea, there were so many of us. That's the only dish I like coz I was quite full from lunch and also still sleepy. Dessert was pao with lotus paste and chocolate cake. the pao was good. the cake, well, deco was good but the taste....not that WOW!
Now, i'm here blogging. Should go to sleep already. Tomorrow, I mean today, is gonna be a busy day! Sorry no pictures in this post. So many words instead. Next post next post....
HAVE A great Week Everyone!!!!
Happy 18th Bday Swannie Swan Swan!!!!!!!! I'll blog tmrw again to dedicate a post to u lar...wahhahahaa.... then i'll get u!! u'll be mine!!!

happy belated father's day.
Go to http://content.mediaworks.co.nz/radio/theedge/audio/911tribute.mp3 to listen to it if you want. Very touching. It's quite sad tho so if you don't want to feel sad, don't listen to it. hehehehe....
I heard the song last year as well and it also moved me. Now every single time I listen to the song, it will actually remind me of how lucky I am, to still have my dad with me. Man! I can't imagine a world without my dad. Who's gonna be there to guide me? Love me? What would my childhood be like if I didn't have him? Ok, now's actually a good time to show my appreciation for my dad since I haven't actually sit down and blog on how much I love him. I didn't do it on Father's Day, be it Msia father's day or NZ's Father's day(last sunday).We tend to take things(and people in this case) for granted in life and only start appreciating them when they are not with us anymore. But I don't want that to happen. I want to realize it now and then start showing how much I appreciate him and be thankful for still having him. Because without my dad, I won't be able to:
- get a goodnight hug and kiss from him
- celebrate father's day
- say "bye bye papa, love you, have a nice day" before i leave the house
- have someone to kacau and wrestle with when i'm bored (i can do that with my bro but sometimes he don't layan, dad always layan =D)
- put my cold hands on my dad's face during winter and start laughing
- just calling "papa" and then get a reply from him and then i would say "nothing!!" for fun
- listen to lame comments/excuses that dad would make during dinner time and laugh at it
- learn how to drink wine and know my limit ( 3 glasses is my limit, had a tough time doing the dishes after that. dizzy dizzy. i'm terrible.)
- save heaps of money on driving lessons
- have a education in NZ and do the course I'm doing now
The list can go on but I shall stop here. Till next Father's Day la... Happy Belated Father's Day Dad!!!

holiday's ending
Highlight of this 2 week break? Ermmm... I'm actually quite proud of myself coz I settled the whole accident thing by myself :D. Ok, not the money part la... not my money larrr.. but yea... I got the price down from 1136 all the way to 600. All those bargaining experience at petaling street do come in handy :p. Bargained with the car shop ppl, asked the indian fella to pay some. Heeheee... as for my car, 500. It's all good now, all fixed. No more worries. Phew!! gotta be careful next time.
I also learnt that if you cry, you actually can get some sympathy and people won't be harsh on you. If you hide it all and just keep it to yourself and put on a strong face, you'll even get more shit. Wahlauuu.. not a good thing la.... what now? next time i just cry if i want something? no right? cannot cannot. This accident really built up a lot of tension between my mom and I. That's what i felt the whole holidays. Even things that's not related to car also she scold. Bahh!!! Important thing is, it's all sorted out and it's all good. Thank goodness everything's back to normal already. How? Tears. I couldn't handle it already yesterday. Car all fixed but then she wasn't happy with something then complain complain. I just yelled: " Enough already la... you think I no feelings? whole week scold scold scold. u think i'm not affected by the accident at all? I am!! I just didn't want to show it and throw a tantrum. I put on a strong face but I'm feeling very bad inside the whole time. Today I finally sort everything out then you come and complain again. Everything I do also it's never right." then, i cried. This happened when I was driving. And, had to go to post office after that to renew the car license.. with my red, swollen eyes. so malu!!! Later, mom came and apologized to me. She realized she was being a bit too harsh on me (i think she only realized it when i cried.. see, tears work...yes? no?). But maybe I also too much, felt so bad for yelling at her. Felt so rude. She was just doing it for my own good, teaching me. So yeaa.. it's all good now. *lets out a great big sigh of relief :D* Mom, I love you and I'm sorry for being rude.
This holidays could have been better but just unlucky that the accident happened hence my heart and mind wasn't fully in a relaxed, happy mode. Perhaps that could explain my horrible tummy ache and diarrhoea this week too? Haha!!
So sad tomorrow no super sports sunday. Can't end the holiday with sports and laughter. So sad. And I'll be at uni instead. Hopefully studying from 10-6 since my brother's going to go uni as well. Ohh wellzz..... time to work hard anyway and not everything will always go the way I want it to be. Live with it and still enjoy it!!!! Nitey nite...
Smile!
Don't Worry, Be Happy for Worrying is like sitting on a rocking horse. It keeps you occupied but will get you no where. ehehehe... saw that at the back of a lorry. It made me smile =D

cheers steve irwin!
Yes, we will all miss you. You've been a great entertainer and educator, for both the young and the old. When I was young, after tuition, I used to grab a big bowl of ice cream, sit in front of the tele and watch The Crocodile Hunter and be amazed with it. Man, what are all the little kids that comes home from tuition gonna watch now? I think MSN should make a crocodile icon just for Mr.Crocodile hunter, Steve Irwin.

This Sunday, it was fun, relaxing and enjoyable. Really enjoyed today.
Body clock woke me up at 7.30am, looked out the window and I saw blue blue sky and sunny Mr.Sun. Teehee!! Got so happy, but then went back to sleep a lil while more with a big wide smile on my face. Then phone alarm woke me up at 8am. Did the laundry (after sooooooooo long!) and then showered then off to city for Super Sports Sunday!!

yucky feeling
Mum blended one whole piece of ginger to extract the juice, added some honey and gave it to me. Drank it and my tummy and throat was burning. Went back to bed after that. Woke up around 6 and throat felt so much better and not coughing anymore. Voice still sounds flu-ish. Went out for dinner coz mom don't feel like cooking. I didn't feel like going out but still went anyway. Halfway during dinner, I felt so uncomfortable. Thank goodness my instinct of i-think-i
m-going-to-puke arrived in time. Went to toilet right in time!!! Man!! If not, I would embarass myself so badly and they would have to clean up after me. So paiseh.
What's in my puke? Last night's dinner!!! Mushrooms in it as well as the rice. Lolx!!! Also got today's dinner which was just beans. Ok, this is gross but hehehehehee..... Feel so much better after that. Must be indigestion I suppose. Mom said my body's too tired from the last few weeks and finally took its toll on me. Thank goodness it's all good now :D Gosh!! What a day!!!! Now, I'm wide awake. Cannot sleep. Gahh!!!!!
Can't wait for tmrw!!! Super Sports Sunday!!! WeeeEeeEEE!!!
