Motivation

Weird photoshopping. I forgot what I did with it. But this picture hurts my eyes to look at too.

Typing away at report while torturing my ears-- listening to a sappy love song. LeeHom's "First morning"

I can't think of anything to write. Feels like my head is empty. And yet I can't bring myself to sleep without at least accomplishing something.

What's my motivation?

The thought that time passes by so fast without me realizing it. Soon, it's gonna be hectic uni life all over again. Soon, we'll all be graduating and gradually lose contact with each other as we move on with our lives. Soon, it will be Shinhwa's 20th anniversary :) I'll make do with 12th anniversary that's coming up on 24th of March.

My motivation comes from realizing that I'm one of the grown-ups now. That people actually look up at you and think: Whoa, that's old. I wonder how I will be at her age? -- Something like that.

난,정말 아빠요. 빨이 나와요

I don't know what I'm typing either. Take it as some practice towards writing whole korean sentences.



Happy Birthday Angela

.

Afresh

Somehow I feel obliged to use something positive to mark my first post in 2010. Now I can finally end my dates with 2010 without feeling I got amnesia.

Belated, but Happy New Year nevertheless. I ushered in the new year with beloved and friends, alongside a tarmac road, having steamboat. It... should be unforgettable no?

However, the last day of 2009 was kinda marred when we passed by the scene of an unfortunate traffic accident. We were on our way to a shopping complex when we saw a colission involving a bus and 2 or 3 more cars. When we were on our home however, we saw an accident of a motorist and a saloon car. The motorist died on the spot it seems. Speculation: The motorist is on his way home (around 9 pm) from Singapore, because some other motorists behind us, believed to be his co-workers stopped by his motorcycle, as if they know him.

It's amazing what you can deduct from the mere 5 seconds that pass by while your car passes the scene of accident. Curiosity killed some cat far away, curiousity also slowed traffic of JB. It's depressing to see another life gone with just one day more till the next year. But what good is a whole year if one can't survive to see his loved ones before moving on? I'm blabbering I know.

Other than that. 2010 was ushered in at JB with traffic jams, countdowns, fireworks, holidays, tv show and steamboat. Ah, there was a floating lantern, what Chinese would call 孔明燈 , like a mini hot air balloon, floating up into the skies as soon as countdown was over. It has wishes written all over it I expect. Very romantic way to start a year. I'd think this is my first time seeing this lantern so 'up close'

Resolutions?

I want to exercise more often to shed the kgs piled on here. Gee, 4 kgs since holidays started.

I want to be able to keep my resolutions, that's what.


Few more days till I'm back in Brunei again. There's no place like home I admit, though I sure will miss the company here. It's gonna be all pen and papers in my world again. (Strange how you can't find decent pen and paper where I am now) How soon will I see these people again I do not know. Perhaps soon, perhaps not, perhaps never.

Looks matters

Currently listening to: M Lee Min Woo Play my Song (feat Tiger Jk)

Getting the feel, hang on Ps ;)

Ain't it too true, looks matters.
Ain't it too true, brains matters.

Find a perfect match and you'll have a friend, a soul-mate.
Find one that isn't, gotta have complete tolerance.
Find one that's halfway compatible, just make do with it. You might never find a better one.
Find one in blood relatives, you can't get rid of them, forever.
Find one that's already gone, gotta learn to stand on your own.
Find one just beside you, gotta wrap the thumb around him/her :)

Always refreshing to see two pretty people get together. Ever so disappointed when someone pretty gets someone, well, not so pretty. There's still a lot of people choosing others based on their physical looks and cash.

Brains? Well, so long as you're not too lacking in it, you'll get picked too. I detest, and i can't emphasize more, people with pea for brains. It's too tiring to converse with them, and it drains your own energy as well. I'm not talking about the less fortunate ones, with illness and disabilities. Get reading or master in something at least, or read the paper. Ough.

Ain't it tiring for artistes. Gotta get someone compatible to get blessings from others. Otherwise, gotta be compatible with that artiste you're dating, in terms of looks, brains, money and reputation. Poor group of people. But I'm one of those scrutinizing their partners, even though I know that's not a good habit. Good thing is, I don't comment or anything. Just a passing thought maybe. Ah.. if only everyone looks the same, but then there wouldn't be nice looking ppl to look at. Ah the dilemma..

Interestingly, I saw someone comment on one of those pop-gossip blogs I read. S/he said: Everyone has talents, but only people with looks get to be top of entertainers. Gyaha, true enough. I guess, some of the talented pool are just blessed with looks. Ah.. plastic surgery. I should get a boob job or something :) Can just change the whole face? Hah

Can't change brains though. Sigh, it's already Sunday, tomorrow's woryoil already. Haven't done anything that's academically-related all week. T_T

An update because Chyi blowed me to

Yessirree, I'm back in BN

Very hazy Must say, suffocating and humid at the same time mmm

Classes are alright. If things go badly tomorrow, I can have wednesdays and thursdays off ^^

But we'll see, it'll be great if i can take more courses no?

Oh, or is there a maximum to the subjects we can actually take? Ahh, i dislike UBD's very foggy administrative system. Why can't there be one notice board with all the rules and stuff, instead of having to hear it from different lecturers?

Anyone enlighten me?

View from the plane, think i was seated around the middle of the plane.

Picture taken behind my little nephew, he was fascinated by the water fountain at Jusco Bukit Indah .

Ahh, a kind of Indian delicacy I had. It has similar texture with really soggy and very thin meehoon, not too bad when its eaten with dried coconut and sugar.

The wholesale market that I went one day, took us around one hour to get to the place.
It's jam-packed with stalls selling clothes and whatnots, mostly clothes.
It was interesting, really.


Hot in my room!!!!


Arghhhhh

Nostalgia

Hi all, I'm presenting pictures again today

Not much happening except lots of food, and I lost my spectacles. And.. perhaps one or two spring cleaning in action. I can't believe how my cousin manages to survive in a room full of dust and grime. Guys will be guys perhaps?

Anyway, I'm going to hit the ceilings and rid me some spider webs tomorrow. If I manage to wake up.

Pictures!

My first ever bowling strike in an official bowling game!
(Pst, I think i did get a strike in the past, but that was in a play play mode. This one has my name on it ^^)

The two gentleman who was with me that bowling night. 11am at night, perhaps?

Picture taken outside City Square Mall. Loooong row of buses. The mall is just right next to the JB-SG customs.

Huge can of Orange soda spotted. Some competition ad. Dance and win a trip to Korea or something.

I had a lot and a lot of these. I ate durians for 5 days out of 9 days I touched down in JB.

What I ate this morning!
Ah, this delicious noodle is called 阿古麵. It tastes like what CHMS kolomee used to be. To me, at least. Brings back some very nostalgic taste bud experience.

Delicious.

The soup comes with the noodle. It has pig livers in it, the soup is tasty too.

Lots of people frequenting this noodle shop. And I can see other reasons for that besides their delicious noodle.

A lot of kopitiams in Malaysia does not really put much effort into the ambiance or environment of their business premises. This shop has a shop owner (or family) that decorates the shop with paintings or drawings/photographs of Chinese art. Plus, ventilating fans are installed on the ceiling to enable smooth air flow. Good for a business with many customers :)

The shop also has an area in front of the shop wher additional seats are provided. This area is quite shady, with a huge tree and bits of aluminium thatches sheltering customers. The shady spot is not so stuffy, quite windy around that area. Would be nice for afternoon tea there. Except, the noodles will all sell out by 10.30 am.

Ah, some kopitiams place speakers that plays oldies for customers too. Its quite nice to sit in a place, eating breakfast, and listen to some Chinese oldies. I saw a kid praying to 'Na Du Gong' and try to get 4 numbers for her dad yesterday while sitting at another hawker stall :) Some Chinese-translated English oldie was playing :P


I'm a business-minded person.


Now watching: Two Wives [Korean SBS drama featuring Shinhwa's Andy]

Melacca!

Now listening to: Minnovation by M (Lee Min Woo)


Hi ya! Am back from Melacca. Damn I'm so beat now.

Let's see. A little review after the trip.

Mucho gracias to cousin's husband for driving us. Trip for two whole hours while the rest of us sleep is no easy feat you know?

We took off for Melacca yesterday noon, arriving around evening I guess. Or maybe 3pm. The city is quiet 'walk-able'. We parked the car and just walked around the many many musuems they have there. All the musuems seem to gather in one clump. I saw an UMNO musuem, Musuem of enduring beauty, even Stamps Musuem! We didn't get to visit the insides of the musuem cause it was already past 4. Most of them close around 4 i think. We had a field day taking picture around the outside exhibits though. My little nephew was happy to see trains and airplanes :)

We also climbed up some stairs to a Church on a hill. The view up there was spectacular. Located around some forts I think. It's pretty amazing, the stuff there is old and simple, but pretty cool to me. There were some tombstones of Portugese and Dutch nationals in the dilapidated place. Also a short history on a tablet showed that Francis Xavier's body was placed there for some time before being moved out and cremated. Ah, I can't forget the singing artistes inside the place. 'Dong Li Jiao Che' as my cuz calls them Haha. After Dong Li Huo Che. They're two long haired guys singing Beyond's Hai Kuo Tian Kong LOL. And pretty good at it too, considering that they're Malay nationals.

We had seafood for dinner that night. Pretty fun. Also, took a trip to the Eye on Malacca. A ferris wheel. Enjoyable certainly. But there's not much to see up there, the sights from Taiwan's ferris wheel was much more breathtaking. But I thank heavens for the 50% off the tickets we Malaysians get :) RM 10 for one ride. For us.

We went out to A'Famosa resort's water park this afternoon. After a typical Malaysian breakfast at a local hawker centre :) No matter where you go in Malaysia, it's always easy to find a hawker centre.

It's my first time visitng a water park. And it's very fun! Some of the rides were closed though. I had fun sliding down tubes of water around the park. And that pool with waves. Very refreshing considering its 33 degrees this afternoon. I do have some pictures. But too lazy to upload now lah, feels like my bones are breaking.

Malacca's structures are very interesting. Quite different from that of Johor. The place reminds me of Brunei, infact. The designs of buildings are often a mix of Malay and Chinese culture. The nyonya culture? The houses are quite Malay-ish if you ask me. Some buildings look more European, possibly from some country's takeover from a long time ago. I think the buildings are very pretty.

Oh, the streets are very clean, compared to Johor haha. There should be a lot of places that we can go. But this time, we're there mainly for the water park ^^ Next time, probably, I will visit the musuems and shopping centres of Melacca. :)

Pictures of June

Ladies and gents, and her royal Chyi-ness

Here's some pictures, taken somewhere along June 2009

A view of the sunset glow from my window @ Mata-mata

Piccy of my cousin's little boy- goes by nickname Ah Bee.

Real name: Zhang Kai Zhe

Pictures from Kuching.

Picture taken with a post box @ Miri Airport. Hmm.. he's a picture lover. I should link this picture to his blog.

So far, the days have been going slow. I slept, ate and slept.
Contributed nothing whatsoever to my temporary foster family :P

Was sick from body overheat for the last two days.
My first dollars spent in Johor? It was on medical fees. :(
Oh, or maybe that steamboat meal. Or even that bowling game. I have bad memory.

Anyway, weird dream I had about ice-creams last night.

I had 3 or 4 sticks of ice creams, and they were melting.
So, I had the clever idea of melting them and drinking the liquid through a straw.
No wastage like that mah, right?

But I melted the ice creams in the weirdest place imaginable.

ON my laptop KEYBOARD!

Apparently, the dream ME thought it's a good idea to melt ice creams on the laptop cause it's always generating so much heat. Plus, I can stick the straw in through the slits between individual keys to drink up my concoction.


Yucks. Whatever was I thinking?

.

Since I'm home with nothing to do, I'm added to the House Moving team of Kiung Family

Just as well, I can pack away and give away all the stuff that I don't need
Keep some, throw some, what to do?

Aside from that, I'm enjoying this period of leisure and relaxation
By what? Downloading videos and albums (Ahh I remember downloading song by song, now I find links for albums, how the world changes, and how I change!)

It's a stressful period for my lappie
Also a stressful one for my peers who're working/taking work attachment programs.
Best of luck all! :D

Don't hit me! :P
