Port Dickson / Sepang Goldcoast 30.11.10

I'm finally done with all of my assignments! I'm so gonna miss those times where there were sleepless nights to complete my coursework but anyhoos, yay!! Still can't believe that I made it through those times. Such an unforgettable journey. All that's left now is my final exams which is in January.

Still no words can describe how I feel. A bunch of the Segi group decided to go for a trip. A special desire by one of them bunchies for barbecue. =) There there, we all love barbecues just not the preparing and cleaning up part. *wink* Stayed at the Glory Beach Resort, the rooms were spacious but because there were 9 of us so its kinda undersized to begin with.

I wouldn't recommend this resort if your up for barbecues but for the stay its fine and the budget wise its affordable! As for the beaches there, it ain't so clean as before. Its straight down polluted! Nonetheless, we did have fun there, playing cards, board games, flying kites and volley ball for some of them.

Ahh.. The Sepang Goldcoast or aka. the Golden Palm Tree is totally to die for! Its so beautiful minus the crappy sea color. The resort look so amazing and ohh.. by the way, you can ask for a visitor pass to go in and have a drink or to have a look see which is what we did. Its breezy and so relaxing that you can almost fall asleep on the couch. The price of it? Aha.. Really overbudget.. =)

Teen Fest 2K10

Three consecutive days I have been working in the Teen Fest 2K10 which took place at Mid Valley. Was excited at first knowing that international actor like Cheng Ekin would be there. Not the biggest fan but I'm interested in seeing him. As I patiently waited for his arrival, the working hours there has been like a living hell. Standing there with cramp legs is torture. Torture is when the time shows 12pm now and then after a zillion years it still shows the same. Time was uber slow on those days. I would seriously prefer to be someone who's doing all the shopping as compared to standing like a statue. I guess I was lucky as the staff and my supervisor from Logitech was sort of like a funny and friendly person. I think these all happens for a reason , and anyhow it was sort of like an experience.

Fahrenheit 88

Fahrenheit 88 was launch 2 months back but the grand opening of UNIQLO was only lately on 4th of November. It was the big HOO HA that got everyone's attention where there were advertisements on buses and more. Check their website for further information = = > http://www.uniqlo.com/my/ OR http://www.uniqlo.com/my/index.html

I missed the opening cause i know there'll be tones of people rushing their way in to get their personals but as I've heard; the entire mall was incredibly crowded where there was about 2000 people queuing just to get in. Simply R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!! I wonder what's the big deal about the opening of a mall that attracts people. Big or Huge Discounts? Bargain clothing? Celebrities? The excitement of being a part of the crowd? OR was it this that catch people's attention?

The FIRST 500 customers that stands in line on the store opening day, gets a chance to win an all expense paid trip to Japan! How cool is that?? Not only that, but with a minimum purchase of RM200, there's a Free tote bag. Here check this out!

I was there today and it nothing really did catch my eyes and made it sparkle but the Fleece collection is certainly up for grabs! They are soft and smooth and it comes in all sort of colors that will compliment you AND they only cost RM49.90! From the normal price of RM79.90 till 18th November and it is only while stocks last.

Also their jeans is highly affordable and it is only RM49.90! Till 2nd of December 2010 while stocks last ** Gotta be there to see it for yourself, I'm glad I did.

Addicted to Heels?

Its been a little a week since the submission of the assignment-that-I-never-wanna-see-again and also the trip. I started to crave for fashion, make up and all-of-them-girly-stuff-that-I-don't-normally-encounter. I started dressing up more fashionable(atleast I think I am) or well, let's just say when have I ever stop drooling over branded stuff and the new arrivals?

It is however, I still don't get the ideology of looking good in a pair of heels.

To me, heels are just accessories that I don't need. Well, otherwise I'll probably be taller than most of the guys here in KL. Not only that, but walking in a pair of heels have killed tones of girls. I have seen severe cuts on the legs of the victim including myself. Check the picture out; found this on a website and it is called " IT'S NOT A GODDAMN HEELS"

I read this article like a while back, stated that heels causes back pain, leg pain, headache, knee problems, spine and more! This is all because of long-term wearing of heels.


The tip here is to:
1. Ditch those heels (pretty impossible huh? considering that they are costly to begin with)
2. Mix and match (what us ladies do best), change between heels and flats every other alternate day!

This doesn't sound hard at all does it? =)

After all, heels do look fancy and attractive at most times!
Totally something to die for.

Stress Released

This is the moment where I could almost say "So long to all A-S-S-I-G-N-M-E-N-T-S". Yeah well, ALMOST anyway, there's still one more to go. I could almost scream with joy knowing that my hard work for couple of months is finally paying off! Why am I screaming with joy like a mad cow?? It's well, I just finished my dissertation!! Totally pain-in-the-ass-so-good-riddance-I-am-finally-free-from-your-torture! =) Childish, I know (but I don't care).

As a method of stress relieving, I had my hair dyed the very day of submission, had the longest like-in-a-coma sleep of my life, woke up middle of the night feeling all-so-lonely-without-my-assignments-or-any-human-form-interaction but had the biggest comfort and smile on my face.

Anyhoos, to fully utilized the madness of mine; that very weekend I spend with a couple of my former secondary classmates and went on a trip to Melaka. It was such a energy charger for me. Thanks guys!

The Re-Opening

It's been ages since I last posted something! My gosh... Can't believe how long it was! I been super busy with all the assignments and challenges in college.. Who ever knew that SEGi college could be that hectic after all.

I have gain so much from this AIESEC EYLN challenge. Made new friends, gain unexpected experience, and got closer to the new SEC group. SEC stands for SEGi Entrepreneurship Council I began to take on more responsibilities in life... Unexpected huh? Neither did I... I felt so much closer to these group of people. In directly, I feel that we are as more than friends, we are as family of the excellence. =)

Wait! Did I mentioned that I won one of the games they had?? haha.. yes! I did! Unexpected! I never won any of those competition challenges before! My Team!! * Oh alright! We came in 3rd place! But still!!*

Totally Lose control!

I can't understand at times like why do these things keep happening to me?! NO! I’m not talking about how depressed about being bad luck or whatsoever crap or that I hated being a teacher (though I have been complaining about that issue a lot lately) nor that my assignments sucks (its not the course work or structure but its the due date which is super close to each other!) but its about how I was abused (No, not the sexual type) by people that I trust most! Needless to say, it HURTS ALOT! How can I possibly entrust people like that again?? I never would have imagined that someone would actually treat me like that! This is what betrayal feels like! WE didn't quarrel a lot but its more like a unsatisfied nod which brings dissatisfaction, anger and burden! I'm highly disappointed yet stressed up right now! ARGhhhhhhhhhhh.........

Pardon my frustration. I’ve tried to use the most polite way to interpret my feelings because keeping it in you can cause a higher rate of becoming nut case! Don't mean to hurt anyone like seriously!

Taking A Break!

Leaving my stress behind for couple of days because I'll be going on a trip to Taiping! Yes yes.. aha.. I smell procastination again! Haha...  guess so! =P Be bring my stuffy pillow and just am gonna relax or get-away from it all for couple of days with Joy to Joy's hometown! =( though its a so-called trip but i'm sensing alot of activities like jogging and exercising lar... Sigh.. Joy Joy... haha! I'm a lazy pig that won't move my ass much.. haha!

So will catch up in a few days time!

Stress level rising up!

Alright alright, so I have been procrastinating & probably holding myself back from assignments/work but I swear its only for a short while. Besides its was until last week that the lecturers gave us our topic or assignment. So.. its practically not my fault that I’ve been slacking?? Aha… Lame Excuses!!! But yeah, been reading the textbook, notes given about all the theories that sort of am like a common knowledge to me. It’s memorizing & applying the right theory to the right situation that is challenging. I’ll give it my best shot nonetheless. =)

Bad news… mom’s definitely quitting this time like for real! *sigh*

This hit me like today. I know it has nothing to do with me or rather it might impact somehow but if it’s her final decision I gotta support that. Its my mom; the parent that nurture us the most. Gave us guidance, love, compassion, helped me with most of my homework (especially drawing). I gotta respect her decisions and stand by her. However, there’s a catch. She did asked me if this would jeopardize my so-called ‘Dream’ to US. In my head, I’m thinking like no way.. but I have to consider the cons as well. What would happen if that happen? A huge question to be considering. However, its not my choice or my will that can change this.

Mom was like really trying hard to think of the positive side of letting go her job that she barely likes. I get it, like who wants to work after hours or during holidays or worst part is; handling your boss’s personal life/daily life. I over heard talking on the phone once like something about picking up fish from market or that the child needs a lift to school or boss’s mother-in-law needs a spa appointment. I totally understand that. The payroll hasn’t been increasing for several years. Who’s motivated then?

Owh…anyhow, stress has officially conquered my life right now. Personal feelings of mind rising up as well to join the all-so-great party. *need to pray hard to go through this terror* *sighing long & hard*

Oh Lord, do guide me though this terrifying storm!

The One Where I Wanted to Give Up

SKYTREX

Date: 14th March 2010

Time: 3pm

Venue: Taman Pertanian, Shah Alam

This is seriously no joke! For people who have fear or phobia of heights, please do not try this! Ever! AHA! Unless ure thinking about conquering that fear then it is advisable. Needless to say, I am one of them who suffered from that fear lah! Yes yes, I’m afraid of heights! Can barely survive my cheerleading stunts back in those days where I had to climb then fall and fail then disappoint my team. Those were the days. =) They are way way behind me now.

Right, so why did I babble about my stupid story about the cheerleading again? Its because lately, some of us namely me, wanted to do some dare-devil stunts like flying fox & climbing up & down the ladder (the part where I fear most) and we did it! To be honest, I kinda enjoyed the flying fox after doing it few times in a row. It was adventurous, interesting, windy, fast, & fun! Its those stinking ladders & other task that I fear the most! But its all good now! Cause I’ve survive it already. Haha.. I’m ALIVE people!! Weeeeeeeeeee………..

(Pictures to be uploaded later)

I ♥ Quest Crew

If i have never said it before, I'll say it now! Been babbling this to most of my friends now about how awesome the Quest Crew are. They are like the team of guys who dances (*thinking how cute can that be*) and won the ‘America’s Best Dance Crew’ by Randy Jackson. So so so so… awesome! Just enjoy watching them in action! They are all super cute! My favorite guys are Ryan Feng, Steve Terada and maybe D-Trix. =)

Love their dance routine, it just cheers me up from whatever crap I’m upset about. Recently would have been my all-so-new college. I’m still trying to figure out my life and how the college works. I’m not really getting along with the culture there or that I really miss UCSI. How sad is that? Been going back to Uni for events eventhough I’m no longer a student there. Hm… speechless*. Its happening way too fast but anyhows, yes! Quest Crew is the main source of my happiness.. err.. sort of.. I’ve totally no idea what I’m saying now.. Practically blank in my head but is also writing this blog. Funny eh?

Yess.. so Quest Crew! I’ve seen their every performance in Youtube. Thank you Youtube! Um.. its very entertaining as in you would question yourself how they get so creative & all.. If I’m in California, I would certainly not hesitate to pull up a cardboard that says ‘MARRY ME’ sign. Geeky eh? But I don’t care! They are awesome!

Watch this!

 

There's another video that I would love to show, but there's just too many screaming girls in the scene. sigh.. Whatever.. I don't care.. Cause I would probably do the same! LOL

Last day of CNY =(

Chap Goh Mei! Awh yes, as my memory recalls; I remember a friend of mine used to asked me out during this day in particular. I have no idea why but it was 'cute' as in.. ;) 'what makes u think i'm interested in those kinda silly rituals'. LOL Anyhoos, guess what! Joy took me out this year! To those places where people are allow to act 'funny'. Ahaha.. All i know is that there were some guys who were lame enough to talk to us & ask us for numbers. It was funny cute.. Cause I wouldn't expect any guys to ask us out.. =P Well, to be honest.. I'm totally not interested! Aha.. so is mummy Joy. We were there for the festival and to be apart of something I guess..rather than being stuck at home. Haha! Gosh, it was a lame night! I meant those guys.. Haha.. Desperate much?
Guess for me, the outing was fun.. we went to the 2 most busiest places; the Taman Jaya near Amcorp Mall & Thean Hou Temple (where I had my photoshoot). For the fun of it, Joy decided to get an 'Orange' and join in the ritual of hm.. the dating thing? Well, ofcause I did it too.. Haha.. but contactless.. haha.. LAME!!

Back from where I left..

So as it may seem like I have abandon this blog but I’m back.. Funny thing is that I realize that there’s an increase in numbers even though I haven’t been blogging eh? Well, thank you loyal readers.. =) I shall continue where I left the last time.. Aha.. Which is the photoshooting? Wow! That long huh?!

So there’s practically nothing special about my Chinese New Year post as I hardly ever celebrate CNY. What I meant to say is that I seldom visit my relatives & have the habit of collecting ‘ang pows’. My family usually travels during this festive season. Aha.. It was different this year however, we had our 1st ever reunion dinner thanks to grandma. =) I get to collect my be-early ang pows and also visited some relative’s house (though I wasn’t really sure who’s house it was. LOL)

So that’s practically it for CNY! Pretty lame huh?? That’s just me & my lame life! Sad to say.. sigh.. Anyhoos, later did I realize that I wasn’t the only one who had a boring-be-boring CNY too. Atleast, some friends of mine did too (Not to mention Joy – being stuck at Taiping with the same boredom as I did too).

Hm.. that’s pretty much? Tuition there were like practically less human beings than usual, well atleast compared to the usual replacement class & all. Aha… Yes! Getting paid for not teaching is fun, but extremely mind-numbing!

Oh! Apart from that! I just realize that my only source of entertainment was with my gang while ‘yum cha’. We did our usual yum cha session at Kinrara as usual.. haha.. Just to complain about how lame this CNY was. Wait.. Did we actually discuss that topic or was it about ‘N’ again?? Seems like my ‘short term memory’ is kicking in again! Aha… Lame!

With much love,

Photoshooting

Date : 7.02.2010

Venue : Thean Hou Temple

Weather Condition : Burning Hot.. LOL

My first ever photoshoot! Yay! Omg, I'm so excited! What should I wear? Who should I bring along? Heels or flats? How many set of clothes should I try on & stuff.. *Those were my very first thought* Yeah I was pretty nervous & all because I have never been on a photoshoot! It new, exciting, & I know they will capture the good side of me. =) 

It was affordable for me unlike the studio photoshooting, which I know they cost a whole lot more! haha... This cost only Rm50 & supposingly getting a free Ipod but I'm not gonna share it in blog though its personal. Sometimes are better left unsaid eh? Hm.. yeah, so Rm50 includes the photoshooting, hair & make up + 20 frames of yourself. 

So yeah, never thought it would be at a chinese temple, but um... whatever yea know? haha.. kinda wanna get it over & done with. So, went there with Jenny & a friend of her's Shirley. I seriously thought we were gonna be the first ones there because its barely even 9am? haha... but when we got there, there were like around 10 girls already? Like woah.. they fill in fast! Haha.. 

Nonetheless, we were the first ones that got our make up & hair do * not much alterations done to my hair due to the position of the plug* >.< so its probably just a thick make up & messy hair spray. ahah.. Sorry, but I was really hoping for some curls! A little disappointment here & there. So there were altogether 4 setting in the temple & few different poses each, but kinda hated some/most of my pictures.. so yeah.. not gonna post much here. =P

There you go! The magic of the make up & great photography! *wink*

The last picture is actually edited by Alan Leong. =) Thanks!

Reunion Dinners 2010 =)

Let's talk about something great happened! Hm.. let's see apart from my yucky photoshooting, my pay cheque was quite surprising & not to mention my meeting with great friends! It seemed forever since I met them all which was great cause I do miss them. =) Let's see, last saturday which was 6th February 2010; we had our luxurious dinner at the restaurant opposite Hotel Sri Petaling. *Sry, don't mean to forget the name of the restaurant again* Yeah, it's practically the place where we had our Reunion dinner every year for 3 years now without failed! aha..

 We had so much fun that night. Laugh, joke, laugh, talk craps, laugh somemore. Let's just say it was great to have everyone there with me!

 On the very next day, I had photoshooting that not many people know about.. aha... will post about it later.

Monday; I had dinner with Ssd Gang.. you know the "sot sot dei gang"? aha.. yes them! I find warmth with them as in like the are there for you if you ever need a shoulder to lean on. I too have some issues with my past & wouldn't have got over it without them. Thanks for listening!

Penang with SSD

Date : 30th Jan - 1st Feb 2010

Venue :  Penang

Budget : Less than Rm150 * smiles*

Yes yes, this is by far the cheapest trip I've been to! However, it wasn't what I expect to be? Hm.. to be honest, was pretty boring this time round with Ssd gang.. perhaps its the venue or the fact that almost everyone including me got sick? I don't know! Better not jinkz it! aha.. So for this post, I'll shall let the pictures to explain what we did the entire trip! aha.. as pictures tells a thousand words. =P
