This year’s CNY is celebrated in a slightly different manner, instead of having everyone from the maternal side of the family coming over, all of us from Msia went over to S’pore. 4 Families altogether but 3 cars as one of the uncles is banned from entering S’pore for running away from S’pore National Service so only his wife and 2 daughters went.

The hotel is quite classy, i must say the room my family got was the best compared to rest, it looks newer & more spacious than the rest, the only down side is that there is only 1 king size bed when we would prefer it to be 2 single beds. Well, i guess we couldnt always get everything we wanted…

On the 1st night, we went over to my uncle’s house for BBQ, food was good.

2nd night was when we celebrated my ah ma’s (grandmother) birthday at 7th storey restaurant in Marina Mall. Food was ok. The 2 dishes i like most are the longevity noddle and the red bean (soup?). Apart from those, i get to try the latest cuisine in M’sia (johore, to be exact) called “pen cai” it seems that this pen caiis a korean dish. One has to eat layer by layer… Not too bad, and it sooooooo expensive!

3rd night, dinner at my uncle’s house again, this time his mother-in-law cooked, she made paiti, broccoli, Fried Tang Hoon, Fried rice, Tofu (not sure what style, but i like!) and ABC. It’s nice also…

During the day, we went walking around S’pore, my aunty with her children (13 and below) went to places like underwater and S’pore Zoo. While the rest of us went to SunTech City on the 2nd day and BugisStreet on the 3rd Day. We used the public transport instead of driving(cos their parking system is quite confusing, fr my past exp), so tend to walk alot from MRT stations to where we were heading. But because we had “functions” at night, we rushed around because we had to be back at the hotel at 4:00pm.   x.x  From this trip, i learned that no one should shop at S’pore during the 1st 2 days of CNY, cos hardly any shops are open for business!

Changi Airport is so cool, its design enables anyone and everyone to see the airplanes taking off and landing from a very close range while driving through the terminals. It such a thrills for me to see a plane taking off. Actually, some might think its terminals are all over the place, true, but without that i wouldn’t be able to see that many planes in close range. What an experience! Anyway, the purpose of me going to the Changi Airport is to take the MRT to city center.

LOL! cost me about S$10 from Bugis Street. It is really comfortable.
the last time i went to Singapore, i bought a Giodarno baby-T for S$10 also.

With that said, i guess that’s roughly all that i wanted to write about my S’pore trip.

This year CNY was not celebrated with a peace of mind, because i cant stop thinking bout the unfinished works waiting for me back home. *SIGH*

The year 2009 has not really started well for me. Have a feeling I have to work as hard as a cow to sail through this year. Moooooo! Have to keep chewing and chewing the cuds in order to survive. It’s indeed a new year for me. Hope that i will be strong like an ox in facing the challenges ahead.

Last but not least, wishing everyone an OXsome and wonderful lunar niu year!

what a coindence!

Suddenly i remember about the dream i had where i was on the phone with… ahem, that Prof. 
there was one part in the dream where he said, “I cant help you if you dont help yourselves” And Prof actually said those exact words yesterday when he was venting his anger on us!!! PHOO!!! My dream actually came true, well part of it… How i wish it’s my SWEET dreams that came true instead of this…

From bad to worse

yea, i had a bad day, muy bad. No, it was not a bad start, in fact i had fun laughing during Dr. Sham’s Asas Periklanan. After that almost everything seemed to be going downhill. i was late for skills in grammar class, only to find out that all the frantic rushing was unnecessary because the lecturer was not even there yet. After that 1 hour class, went to get my car only to see a piece of white paper under the wiper, instantly i knew it couldnt be of any good news. DARN!

To make everything short, (well, because i am totally exhausted right now) i finally went to see Prof regarding my thesis. He wasnt too nice, rebuked us for such a late appointment (he was expecting us at the 1st week of this sem),  even said that we were the worst of all the students he had ever supervised. OUCH! Was so (sooo) sarcastic when I asked for his suggestions on references for my thesis. He has that disbelieve look on his face and with a smirk he told me the references are in the toilet! DARN! What hurts even more was that i heard chuckling sound, well, not from him, i do hope that quirky sound is not a chuckle.  He is rude, too rude for words, for goodness sake, he is a HIGHLY educated elderly man, he should act like one. Shame on him for bringing down the reputation of ppl of the same rank in msia.

But from the above 2 incidents that happened today, i learnt my lessons. I have to do what I feel it’s right for ME to do. From this day forward, I am a changed girl, pray that God will help me to make the right decision whenever wherever. I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do. No more fooling around, time to get serious, or so i think.

At the end of the day, i truly am grateful to God that there is a home which i can look forward to after a trying day. Home sweet home, and i think i finally understand that true meaning of it.

it’s been awhile since i last updated my blog, my bad for missing in action for that long, just wasnt in the right state for it. I do have things to write, but the hassle of turning on the computer turns me off. Come to think of it, my laptop has been left lying there at the edge of my table for the past 7 days, at least. Since i have a blog therefore i am obliged to write something every now and then, alright, nonsense aside, i am now here to write what i have planned to write but having written all these nonsense i hereby announced that i have forgotten about the things that i wanted to write.

Cool, try reading that last sentence of the above paragraph in one breath! seriously, i don’t remember what i m here to write about…  @.@

Anyway, first of all, wud like to thanks God that i have settled my esmp problem(1) without any problem(2).  The problem (1) was that my esmp has been compromised. I was done registering all my subjects, then only God knows what happened, one of my subjects in my esmp disappeared, mysteriously been dropped but not by me. Seems like someone or something hacked into my esmp and meddle with my registration. Playing Dropping and reregistering my courses without me knowing it. Problema (2) i had this same prob before, went to see the admin ppl about it, but no one believed me, so i thought i will have to go through this again, but boy, was i taken by surprised, not only did they not show disbelief, they allowed me to key that dropped subject without any question asked! If they had not believed me, i wud bring this matter to the deputy dean of the faculty!

Next, San sent me the link to this junior’s blog whom i came to notice since the beginning of this sem, this girl stands out compare to her peers. San and jo identify her as my idol, but i beg to differ, she is not my idol, and never will be. Having read her blog, i am impressed and humbled by her writings. Kudos to her for the things she wrote. Below is her link:  http://blessjessyeternally.blogdrive.com/

ooh ooh, i have finally tried the new KFC Zinger tower burger, it’s humonguous! My mouth is not big enough to bite the whole burger! I would prefer it without the… erm, zesty lime sauce they called it? It’s not bad, but i think it wud taste better if it’s taken hot (the one i had was tabao for me from my sister thus it was not at all hot).

That is all for now, cant wait for the CNY holidays to come! Ciaoz…

Happy New Year!

My 1st cut in the year of 2009

p1041503

I got it while trying to open the cap of the shampoo  :S

***

I am suffering my 1st bad headache of the year, must be due to too much of thinking myself to sleep for the past two nights…

***

So, it’s 2009! a brand new year… what should my new year resolution be? I have a mixed reaction about this new year, not sure why.

***

 Anyway, am anticipating his return with much eagerness! Hopefully, we will get a chance to meet up after sooo sooo loong… haih~ better not to get my hope too high, after all i have been disappointed before. Better safe than sorry.  :S

 

p/s: in my WordPress dashboard it says “incoming links”, anyone knows what that means?

now what?

So, you finally smsed me, after weeks of disappearance…

You have been really cruel to me, insisting on “friendship without ‘distance’ ”, sulked when i distanced myself. Told you, for me to have a “friendship without ‘distance’ “ with you, i would have the same expectation from you as of my bf. But it fell on deaf ears (or blind eyes). Fine. I let you have it your way for friendship sake. Everything was ok in the beginning, but i know you text me only because you have nothing better else to do. I am like an entertainment to you.

Of course, you are not all bad, you have indeed shown concern for me once… or twice.

You stopped msging me (in whatever form) because who-knows-what, you always have your reasons, but for me, i calls it excuses. Sick and tired of your excuses, i deleted your hp number although hesitated doing so. Even dreamt of your number that night and the following nights. That 10 digits were stuck in my head for several days, i tried hard to shake it off, but to no avail. Thank goodness, my final 2 weeks of december 2008 were hectic, it soon got off my head without me realising it… i guess it’s true when ppl say “the harder you try, the higher chances of failing; just let it be”

Christmas came and Christmas gone, received alot of msges but none of it was from you. Disappointed but i chose to dwell not in sadness. It was soon forgotten, but i know you were somewhere… yes, somewhere at the back of my head.

Thanks to you, i experience the feeling of lost and alone (when HE left) for the second time. No. I am not in love. Not Love. Positive. Why on earth do you get me so attached and bonded to you when you are not capable of staying there for me all the time? I guess you didnt realise it huh? oh, Typical insensitive you. Oh, maybe u didnt know that that is expected from you when you requested for “friendship without ‘distance’ “.

Once bitten, twice shy. I dont want to commit the same mistake twice. I dont want to keep on wishing and i ain’t spending no more time wasted, it’s time to gather myself and stop living for yesterday…

I didnt recognise your number when you wished me a happy new year yesterday, what am I to do now? Should I reply? and by so doing, would i be throwing myself into yet another round of… turmoil? sadness? disappoinment? of… ah, bother~
