~Glad~

There are a few things in which I'm pretty glad of myself recently.

Firstly, aren't they like the cutest things????

*y-hellowp*

*Don't take pic of me!!! shy shy wor*

*finally...!*

There is just something sparkly and magical about babies. Well, toddlers and infants included. =) How just looking at them makes you smile effortlessly, fascinated while looking at them dwell in their own little fancy colurful world. And it's something about their smile and laughter which tickles you at the corners of your heart. Hehe... =)

Well, I just realised I developed a strange fondness for small babies and kids whilst working with Wyeth. And then there was this remark from Cha saying I'll be a good wife/mom some day. Well, all the coincides. Weird irony. But anyways, those kids are my godsis's.

So, the first ~Glad~ thing is that I went to their place recently to help my godsis out in her Strategic Management. Turns out she's doing that now!!!.. and I can't help but to think of Mr. Chee the mil-second I heard the subject. Ah, miss that Sir...

And so I did what I can, at the same time got to refresh what I learnt almost what, 9 months ago?!?? All the models and applications. Got RBV la, VC la, core competencies and unique resources la, SWOT la, McKinseys la, and the list goes on and on... Ugh.. Combine a bit with Case study's TOWS Analysis. So it felt good, coz it wuz a win-win situation altogether. =D

Secondly, well, ~Glad~ I finished the whole Twilight Saga. It's a yummy yummy book!! Simply infectious..! Hypnotic, downright exciting with not too much complications. And pretty satisfying too. IF only there were guys out there that actually EXIST like Edward Cullen lah. Grrr... But because we all know guys like that are just left for the imagination, and that is why girls like me all over the world would craze over such impossible books like that.!! Haha. Now I finally understand all the excitement and criticisms when movies originated from books cause so much frenzy! Zzz.... But this was approximately a week ago la. =)



We own these three books. I lent New Moon from this friend of mine, but now contemplating as to buy a copy of my own or not. Coz the second one is pretty boring la. So much despair and hurt. I dun like sadness!!!! But, shouldn't I complete the collection, and just for that's sake??? *hrmph hrmph..*


And thirdly, I'm ~Glad~ coz think my driving skills improved for the better!!! Now that mom's away at Philippines, I'm ~glad~ to say that I have not knocked over any other vehicles, animals, or human beings!!! hehe... Well, 'yet'. But I'm soaring my focus wide. =) Yeap, I'm pretty insecure with the driving skills. But its aite now. =)

Lastly, I'm super freaking ~GLAD~ can still fit my fat ass into this made-only-and-especially-for-kid's-butt Garfield!!!
Damn, what's up with me la. Sad case man... Haha...
Luckily Mr. Garfield is plastic. =) Coz if he were real, he'd probably kick me out the second I hop in!!!
But I kinda got kicked out by the security guard after like 10 mins bumming, so does that count..? hahaha...



That's pretty much the update.

Enjoy the weekend!!!




lotsa love.

My Bestie And Me... =D

When some random question pops in my head, first person to message: Christian.

When I'm at my blurr moments and I'm all rushed up being the usual 10 mins late for tutorial or lecture, first person I call: Christian.

When I have assignments doubts, first person I MSN or SMS: Christian.


When it was intense exam period, the person who keeps me awake: Christian.

When I needed a friend, a confidante, who do I turn to??? => Dear Christian...



So you see, Christian has been a part of my life for a long span of four years. A wonderful classmate, I only developed a closer bond of friendship with him at the last two years, when our class shrunk from about 20 something to 5. And since we walked the journey of Advanced Dip together, our friendship became a stronger bond, and he became more to me than just a mere friend.

Therefore, before I put college completely behind me, I'd like to thank him for being there through thick and thin of my days in here. A person who has showered uncountable laughter upon not only my face, but to the rest of the class, sharing good memories with all 18 of us and AIN2 as well. A good leader, a dutiful student, and most of all a great great B*Buddie.


Remember that song you sang on your 20th Birthday as u stood on the Chair at TGIF???

~Keep smiling, keep shining,
Knowing you can always count on me,
for sure,

That's what friends are for...~

Then I continued,

~For good times, and bad times,
I'll be by your side forever more,

That's what friends are for...~

... I guess you're gonna be the person that pops first in my head whenever I hear it on Light FM. =)

Well, the song says it. U've been a tremendously good bestie, and sometimes being a sorta 'girlfriend' to me when I needed to whine childishly about some things. Hahaha. Remember that solace u gave me that had Mr. Chee in it??? Lol, that wuz a good one wei. =) Will remember that one. *winks* Those good old fine days. All those times when you stayed awhile longer to wait for me when I'm a slowpoke leaving classes, when you bought me buns to eat when we get hungry and I wuz lazy to walk, all those conversations we had, the good laughs, I truly appreciated it. *winks*

It's a sad thing that you're not following the rest of us to UK. Sad for me, most of all. But hey, you've got a bright Masters future ahead of you, and here I wish u the very best in your future undertakings. Hey, no goodbyes right??? =D

I know that there will be many other people that we are bound to meet as we phase through our diverged future from now, but to me, this friendship is locked, and it has no expiry date... you'll be my Bestie for as long as I can keep this friendship flame burning..!!! =)


Dude, Thanks a lot for everything. May distance not set this friendship apart.

Keep being yourself. Don't change. 'Coz you ultimately rock!!! *hugs*

Keep in touch k...

Friends for life.


~Cheers~

Ps: I just realised how little pics we took together. should have taken more right??? grrrr...













!Peace out!



Note...

There were so many things left to SAY,
But all is left UNSAID,

There were so many things left to DO,
But all is left UNDONE,

Is this the story of our LOVE,
How feelings easily FADE,

When all is said, and all is done,
You wished he hadn't GONE???


Has it always been INCOMPLETE,
Was it a pattern to occasionally throw a fit,

Thought it would have been ENOUGH,
When next to you was me,

But I it seemed to my heart I was lying,
Because I was often caught IN BETWEEN

Other matters all solved,

Then only comes JEAN...


But it doesn't matter now,
It's time I move on,

Perhaps we should ACCEPT,
In anothers' arms we belong,

Bu somewhere at the corner of my heart,
That's where you'll ALWAYS be,

Wrapped in a seashell of memories,
Memories of YOU and ME... <3




~A note that I wrote many months back, which I stumbled upon and ought to destroy, but decided to leave it here instead~

I will.. Will You..?

I rushed to college yesterday. I woke up in time, exactly at 8 o'clock, but yearn the fact that I had to return to my gilded cage, so I deliberately procrastinated. =P Ugh, just the thought of having to step upon the lands of TARC disgusts me, really. I think my hatred was accumulated from my past life la, to be honestly speaking. Haha.

... And so I booked my air ticket today. Using the rendered services of Etihad airlines, I'll be flying off on the 5th of June (Saturday) , at 2120, through Abu Dhabi to Manchester Airport. Sounds pretty serious eh??? Well, it does for me. Until now, it seemed so surreal to me that this is happening. I have spent the last 4 years loathing TARC and awaiting the moment where it all would end (which I did, graciously too. I mean, straight As? Wow, even I wuz startled myself), but I never took into thorough consideration wut happens beyond that (which is now).

... Everyone wuz chattering their utter excitement to spend the three months Top Up Summer Programme in the United Kingdom. And then there wuz the Europe trip; all the more reason to get adrenaline rush. I could hear sheer excitement tailed in their voices and shaded within the ways their eyes looked, like there were literally counting the days!!! There were conversations on getting new luggage, bag packs, shopping, cooking whilst we're there, etc etc etc...and gradually all the noises faded as I dwell in my own thought.

... While I was quite excited for it myself, being on my own in a foreign land, where the adoration lies in the different lifestyle and switch of taste in culture, with nature beckoning altogether, I can't help but feel a rush of sadness and terror. Sadness was because, I have always been comfortable being around the family I most love, coming home to hear their voices everyday, hear their laughter, see their faces, and just love their presence the way it is. I was even comfortable with the curfew that we set on ground rule! And terror because, now that freedom comes knocking on my door, I do not want it.

... There is nothing awaiting for me in the UK, apart from the juicy adventure, of course, but there are so many things, so many precious people that I love over here in Malaysia. Dad, Mom, Sis, and my sometimes annoying little Brother. And of course, the very few other special people. And though its only as short as 4 months, many things can happen in between. The absence of my presence will surely be felt, especially by emotional mummy, as it would for me too. And then there would be all the Sunday family outings which I would miss. Sigh...

..I know, I know, I should grow up right??? I am. Really. But hey, can't help being dad's little girl sometimes. =) Like now.


... There would be no one pulling my legs and thumping out loud voices to call me up from bed.

... I won't come home to taste dad's ever-ready cooking menu every day.

... Heck, I'll have to learn how to use a washing machine..!!!

... And there is that warm furball that I'm sure going to miss until the core of my heart, everyday when I wake up; the grins of my dearest little ColB..


... I'm going to miss you while I'm away...

... Will you miss me when I'm gone????

Blessed...

...Haven't felt this kinda contentment in awhile.

I'm so grateful that the Lord blessed me with my results last Semester.

I'm more than grateful. Can't seem to find the right word. But its utter happiness!!!



I guess I'll be smiling all the way to my sleep..!!!

Thank you Lord!!!

DON'T

Don't tell me those words, when I know exactly what you mean.

Don't shelter me with empty promises, when I know you cannot keep.

I gave you an option. An option without a time frame,
But you, you saw it as an escape.

I've been in your shoes before, more often than many, more often than you think.

It's foolish of you to ought that you can use this back at me.
I'm better than that. More than you give me credit for.
Your reasons are weak, purely with no substance.

Perhaps you don't know the sacrifices I made, all the stakes I took. I don't want you to know it either.
But to be treated like this, this bullshit I ain't gonna take.

Don't shelter me with empty words.

Don't hurt me anymore.

DON'T.

It's The Night!!!

It was a night to look forward to. Not because I was there at quite a big event, in one of our finest hotels at PGH, but it was because of the company of a dear good friend and the awesome time I was looking forward to experiencing. A company from a PJ-nian is definitely enlightening, and plus we were friends dating all the way back to the early years of high school. It was UTAR's Ball Night 2010, themed Verziere in Italian language, which literally means Garden in English. There were all the 5 campuses combined, so i guess it wuz pretty imaginable how it wuz, right??

You know, I was contemplating on which dress to wear. I have never been to a formal prom before (I don't count TARC's one la, coz it was a loser party), and I knew everyone was going to look all posh and spicy-sexy, proped up with their fancy hairdos and elaborated make-up. So long dress or short??? Contemplated until the very last minute. In the end, since my date wuz wearing white, I decided to take the black and white la, to match the Taikun right??? I hoped I pulled it off, coz my dress was kinda special. I had a trail behind me, which made it look different than the rest, thanks to mom's Filipino heritage creativity. =)

The food was alright la. Of course, there was shark fin soup at the second serving, and it tasted alright. Can't beat my dad's one of course. =)

Of course, the performances had much to comment about. Perhaps because I'm a performer all my life so there were only a significant few that impressed me. One of it, wuz this one guy who played Let's Dance by Lady Gaga (or wuz it Pokerface?), Love Story by Taylor Swift and Avatar's theme song, I See You by Leona Lewis with his flute, with background music. I mean, flute playing on that third song??? It wuz not easy, honestly speaking. That, was truly a good one. Then the dances, of course the best wuz the hip hop one la, since it wuz Cha Cha who contracted them to perform only at the finale. Then the dance floor wuz open!!! So it wuz time to partaaay!!!

I'll post some pics here, but the full collection would be at my Facebook profile. Check it out! All the glitz and glamour for one night only!!!!

Enjoyed it, really! The company with Cha wuz awesome and definitely unforgettable. You can measure with the Mississippi smile on my face!!! *grin*










Cheerios!

The Lane Previously Walked...

Music is my soul. Heck, it's everyone's. Every night for about many months now, I have made it mandatory to hear Lite FM, starting from after its midnight news till half and hour later. All the love songs..It just feels so complete. And I so love the oldies~!! On a personal note, oldies songs are waaaay more meaningful than any of the shallow songs there are in the market right now for all the wrong reasons la. Songs right now, it magnifies stuffs like clubbing, hitting the bars and sex. Yea, I know music is supposed to be expressive, but just stick to love la. Music can be the source of all evil you know. No point polluting the minds of the younger generations right?? Coz music is a very powerful thing. =S


It seems like every song they play on Lite FM is easily related to my past. Just last night, Dan Hill's one and only rendition of the infamous "Sometimes When We Touch" filled the air, and it immediately brought my mind to one person (a boy, of course) back from high school and how life was for me in the past.


Suddenly I thought of my high school years, and I remembered, how much I hated my life back then. You know, when immaturity surfaces and all the rest is history??? Haha. There was this note that I wrote on my ICQ, about how much life sucked back then, never wondering that those were the most wonderful years of my life. Stupid me. There were so many things, Gymnastics, Ballet, Taekwondo, Girl Guides, Interact, being a good student, and above all, CHEER and LEO. Then there was tuition in AC and Nirmala's. Friends of course. Puppy love, not forgetting. Crushes??? Everyone has that I'm sure. Just I never learnt how to be grateful. Still, glad I made the very best out of it with no regrets. =)


Then I was going through Assunta's 46th Year Book (2009) Edition. And there was this particular note that caught my eye. All that I mentioned summarized in this interesting piece. Check it out. Plainly creative. Eh, wait, creative is NOT plain!!! *grins* Here's it.

*A graph paper of the simple high school life*


And this page too.



Sometimes I wonder what people mean when they asked me, where did I get my accent from. I didn't even realise I actually had an accent until I entered college. And then I realised where all the accents and orginality came from. It was just 'gifted' from being a part of an Assuntarian. Almost everyone in Assunta who made English their mother tongue had an accent!! Some even more outstanding than mine!!! Know how I know?? Coz they are my neighbours!!!!! Aikz....


... It's a lie if I say I dun miss high school. Perhaps its because college life is not as interesting??? I mean, it screams the total opposite. But hey, no complaints. Coz I'm outta there already!!! Hallelujah!!! Woo Hoo~! =)

...Yet I had to go back to college yesterday to get briefed about the various agencies and airlines that are available to get to UK in a few months time. I'm still wondering which to choose. Hrm Hrm... And oh ya, while having hours between the sessions, we visited the new block, where it became the new CITC. It looked pretty good wei! Fancy architecture and all. Darn, only when we left the college do they provide such facilities lah. Ugh...

Took a few pics.






* lol. this pic looks like Selene's modeling for the Roxy wallet. Chris!!! Your Roxy ah!!!!! Using already!!! So love it!!!!!! X) *



Can't Smile Without You!!!
