HAPPY 21st DARL!!!

12th SEPTEMBER 2009

This is the big day where Darling turned 21~~~Yeap! It's the big 21 everyone goes through once in a lifetime!!! And thus, it's only normal to make it a B.I.G one!!!

Oh by the way. The real thing is supposed to be on the 16^th. But, it's a weekday. So... Saturday it shall be!!! XD

The Agenda where so much sweat n blood is put into it. ==... That's what happens when a perfectionist is at work!!! XD

The birthday boy man and his mum!!! So handsome right??? XD

And not forgetting to show off his talents - his singing - along with his guitarist friend who also got to sing a Malay song.

Oh, before that.. He was presenting a slideshow of his life. Which is interesting. His baby pictures.. And his transformation. XD... Which is really vain!!!

His mum's speech which is memorable.. "I know I'm supposed to give a key to him for his 21^st.. But, it's not a key to his freedom"

Hahax!!!

That's the blueberry cake!!! Uber big and creamy. Looks nice~~~ =D. And it's shaped like a key too!!!

The eating competition where me and Jacqueline has to compete with guys. For God's Sake!!! If I win, I'll really do a war dance. And smack the guys for losing to a girl in eating. Hahax!!!

Whee~~~ It's us!!! Lynn, Me and Sue Anne!

o.O.. Haha.. Gabriel and Chee Kien!

Not forgetting Simon & Brandon. They're doing hard-gay for the whole night. ==

Brandon & Lynn who managed to get first place for the eating competition. Gratz~~~ 2 pendrives!!!

There's also the Charade competition.

Pole-dancing competition(funny version). o.O..

Sadly didn't get any picture of it.

But trust me, it's really hillarious. XD

Credits to: Brandon Chinese for these pictures.

Haha... That's what you'd call a birthday boy. Not official without him looking like this!!!

So, my wishes comes here:

Happy 21^st Birthday dear. I guess 21 is a turning point in everyone's lives? And I think it'll affect in a way or the other. Haha.. I hope you've had a memorable 21st Birthday Party and may your coming years be a good one. Hee~~~ No matter what, I'll be supporting you.

Loving you as always,

Christina...

They come and go...

The hottest news right now must be the death of the LEGEND, MICHAEL JACKSON.


I guess I can be considered as one of the few who knows about this?


Listening to One.FM every morning when I wake up has been a habit. Like every Friday, I was listening to One.FM last 2 days. Somehow, that particular Friday's news gave changed the whole world (one way or the other)... Then I heard the DJ, Jeff, saying that Michael Jackson passed away due to heart attack. I was like.. "Oh.. Okay. Michael Jackson passed away". *This is what you call morning blurness*.


Then, as Jeff continues to feed details on his death, the reality starts to sink in slowly.. Michael Jackson, THE LEGEND, had left all of us. Honestly, I'm not that affected as I'm not a fan of him. Plus, because of his cases with the children, he gave me a totally bad impression. That's why I've never came to like him. I've even labelled him as a sick man. Ya, I know I'm not a very nice person. I guess because of my prejudice towards him, I didn't try to accept his songs or his greatness in the music industry.


Everytime my mum tells me that MJ is a good dancer and singer.. The words just come and go. Actually, he looked quite good last time. I personally think that it's kind of dumb of him to undergo so many operation to whiten himself and look really bad. But, I guess he can't be blamed. Blame it on fame? Blame it one people who cares about skin colour?


I'm sure MJ has loads of his fans out there. Loving him for his voice, songs and his most famous moon-walk. The world would certainly mourn his loss. It's a loss to the world for losing a legend such as him. But, maybe there's a positive side of it?


REST IN PEACE!

---

While popular people like him will be mourned by the whole world, there are some people that will go unnoticed and will only be noticed by their loved ones.


Life is a never-ending cycle. Live and die. some may die young while some lives long enough. Some die of natural cause while some die under the hands of reckless people and ruin the victim and the victim's loved ones' lives. I would refer to these reckless people as IDIOT. Doing things without thinking of the consequences or would just think of their own benefit. People who's done wrong should own up to their own faults.


At last, those who receives the hardest pain is the victim's loved ones. Hating the idiot. Some maybe cursing. Or some would be thinking "Why did he bang my xxx?" or "What if I didn't let xxx go there?" or "I shouldn't have let xxx went there".. Which is totally bad for the mind.


But, as the saying goes, "Good people don't last long" because the Gods loves kind-hearted people. So, maybe that's why they are taken away for us. I'm sure they would be totally removed from the worldly desires and might even be happier "up there". I guess most people will refer to it as Heaven.


I only hope that noone will blame themselves for the death of their loved ones. And no point in thinking "If only I..." because if it's destined, then there's no way you can change it. I'm sure those who's passed on would like you to continue with your life as happily as possible. The greatest love??? To be happy for your loved ones even if he/she is no more with you. Loving someone doesn't mean you have to have him/her. Learn to let go and walk on bravely. The future lies ahead and the past will always remain as memories and lesson to be learnt to be a better person.


*No matter how the sky is dark, light will always prevail like however long is the night, morning will always come*

Happy Parents' Day~!~!~!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY~!~!~!

21^st June 2009 is another memorable day FOR ALL the father's in the universe. It is where their children will celebrate this day with them. Sending gifts, cutting cakes or even a small little "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY" wish is enough to make any dad happy.

Talking about fathers, they always give me the image of a very strong man who is the PILLAR of the family. No matter how you lean onto him, he would always be strong for the household.
I guess my dad projects that kind of image to us - their children.

My dad is NOT the kind of tech savvy kind of man who keeps up to the latest technology of updating his laptop with the most recent programs. Nor is he the kind of dad that cuddles you and shows his love every minute. He's the kind of cool dad that hardly talks and feared by his children. Sometimes, he even gives the impression that he doesn't really care about his kids that much.

In fact, he don't even update his laptop virus definition files!!! Without the kids and technician, I guess his laptop is much destroyed. Hee... And to him, handphones are only for calling in & out. >.<".. Admittedly, it's kind of hard sometimes when you want to find a REALLY good reason to change to a cool high-tech phone. Haha... That's how MY dad is...

But behind this image he built for himself, he's actually a caring dad. STRICT but LOVING dad. He totally suprised me by asking about my boyfriend one day. And my mum even told me that he asked her about my relationship with my boyfriend. He's always pampered me in a discreet manner. And he does jokes when he's in the mood. Most of all, he's always treated me as the small little girl 10 years ago. Maybe he should start to grow out of it. It's annoying how he's so stubborn at times. And whenever he uses the line "SERVES WHAT PURPOSE?" when me and my bro wants to go out, me and my bro would definitely relish a punch on.. wherever. LOL!

But, I guess that's what makes my dad unique in his own way. I would take this opportunity to say "THANKS FOR EVERYTHING & YOU'RE ALWAYS MY ONE AND ONLY DAD NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS"! I know that we shouldn't only express our love towards our dad on this special day.. But I am one of those few kids that has difficulty in expressing their own feelings. XD...

---

It's only fair that I wish this too...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY~~~

My mum and dad are like people from 2 different worlds. While my friends who saw my dad would say that he's fierce, they would totally like my mum and comment that she looks "young" and "friendly".. =.="... She loves it when other people says that we're sisters... (huh?? What the... that makes me old...)

And also, she's the kind of fierce but open-minded mum. Compared to my dad, mum's more to the hot-tempered side. Mum is also more up-to-date with the latest fashion and sometimes technology. It's funny when they argue about something at times. (Because both also don't have the correct point. In other words, both are wrong while me and my bro would be snickering.)

But, me and my bro talks mostly to her as she is a good conversationist(is there this kind of word????). Just that when she gets angry and annoying, that's where me and bro will start to boycott her.

Another opportunity to express myself again.. "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! ALTHOUGH BOY AND ME ALWAYS DO A LOT OF THINGS TO MAKE YOU ANGRY, DO FORGIVE US. IT'S NOT OUR FAULT AFTER ALL. XD.. AND YOU'RE FOREVER OUR MOTHER."

Oh.. and also to our GRANDMOTHER who's done more than what she should, cooking for us, cleaning us, nagging us non-stop.. Admittedly, you're something like our second mother. WE LOVE YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR US! Hee.. Sorry also for screaming at you at times.

*To all the kids out there, do spend time with your parents and never neglect them. At the end of the day, when everything crumbles down, they're the one that will always stay by your side. Although they might seem GODLIKE at times, they're still human like you and me.

*Happy Parents' Day to all the parents in the world, no matter where you may be.. Rested in peace or still present. Your kids must be missing you somewhere in one corner of the earth.

Bye-bye to holidays. Gambatte!!!

My new semester is starting soon in 10 more hours. Gosh.. Kind of nervous. =S..

But, I guess I'll just do my best. Thanks to BP for advising. Don't worry.. The chances of me breaking down is kind of low.. for now. XD..

My break this time is kind of fulfilling because I got to meet up with my treasured ones such as Lynn, Simon, BP and Chee Kian.

And unexpectedly, got to meet up with Darling and also Chee Kien last 2 days. Not to mention Stanley who left us after mamak.

I'm really happy and I admit my idea of happiness is kind of simple. Spending time with my treasured ones.

Especially if it involves strong determination to beat the high score of the basketball game in arcades. LOL!!! Yah.. that's what Darling, Chee Kien and me did when we went to the newly opened shopping mall in Setiawangsa. >.<... Luckily you weren't there to watch us. Our stunts are just so unbelievable!!! borrowing balls from the other machine and sitting/kneeling on top of the machine

Not to mention critisizing the place and accidently bumped into someone they knew. LOL!

It's nice just hearing to them talking. It's been so long since I've heard their "melodious" voices. Haha..

I guess it'll be some time again until we meet up. Chee Kien is definitely going places after this. Managed to say super-advanced sorry for not able to celebrate my birthday with me. >.<"""... Anyway, thanks for the lunch~~~ It was really a suprise. You take care of yourself ar!!!

Darling's getting into terra-busy mode again. Remember to eat well and do take care of your own health.. >.<... Never neglect your meal.*sigh*

HaHa... I guess I'm prepared for my new day at a new place. Gambatte!!!

*will I ever get past 21..? How I wish to drift into winter dream wonderland~~~ LOL*

Another of my precious memories..

Memories that I will cherish to death~~~

The bitter and the sweets

Time flies by so fast and now it's already the 6^th week of my third sem as well as other fellow UTARians who's in their third sem. Come tomorrow and it's going to be the last week for us to be together before we enter our study week and obviously... Sem 3 finals!


Throughout my one year in UTAR, I've come across many types of people. Namely, the ones whom I like and there are those that I dislike.


There are those people that are willing to go the distance to help out and shoulder their responsibilities well BUT there are those that shrink away from their responsibility and wouldn't even bother lifting one eye at you if it's not their problem. There are those special cases where they wouldn't do anything and wait for things to drop on their laps (eventhough it's concerning very important things to them) and there are those who will push their responsibilities to others to do when actually, they are very free and the task they have won't even take half an hour to finish it up. Then, they would come up to you and tell how tired they are although in reality, the work he/she does is not even half of the assignment while others who is dying for the assignments wouldn't even complain.


Yah, it's common phenomenon when we are assigned to do group assignments. That's why I prefer individual assignments although it's hell of a tougher to do. But, group assignments are very enjoyable when you get good teamwork between your members.


There are also victims who would get blamed for everything in an assignment because that particular person is already branded as "not likable" or for other personal problems. Something like a prejudice. Although that person has tried his best, it's just not enough and he has to go the extra mile.


I would like to thank those who has helped me a lot throughout this year, namely:

• Ching
• Shin
• Sunny
• Dai Lou
• Joyce

There are also those who are nice and helped me although I can't be considered as a friend to them - Senior Adrin and Cel.

Oh yah, not to mention the ungrateful person whom I have introduced to the PMP programme and then forgotten me when it is him who didn't approach me although I've time and again mentioned "Do find me when you have any problems". Honestly, just because I'm your mentor, doesn't mean I have to dog at your heels every waking milisecond of my life. I have my own life to live. I guess I'm just a bad mentor. I'll try to avoid being one in the future. The more I know about humans, the more they irk me. That's the kind that the world could do better without.

To others whom I've not mentioned, I love you guys a lot too. You guys added colours to my life~~~ Without you, my life at college wouldn't be as colourful.

Thanks for all those activities you accompanied me to when noone is interested.

Thanks for all those food we have although I've gotten fatter.

Thanks for telling me so many tales about you and keep me amused.

Thanks for being my first friend in UTAR.

Thanks for always bullying me.

Thank you for the memories which I will cherish throughout my life.

THANK YOU and may all of you lead a bright future ahead. ^^.

*When people come and go, you will still remember them because they leave footprints in your heart.

Purple Ribbon

The purple ribbon~

Muahahaha! Make Ken pose this.

I really love the classical interior design of the halls in Sunway Resort Hotel~~~ <3

Went to Sunway Resort Hotel for the Family Enrichment Programme hosted by YB Dato Seri Ng Yen Yen. Miss Phaveena asked a few UTARians to go, and I got selected. Proud~~~ Hahax.. I thought it's going to be a speech in English.. As it turns out, it's all in Mandarin. And even the brochure is in Chinese!!! Gosh.. How mortified I was. I felt as if I'm in Mars or Pluto. Okay.. That's a little bit too drastic. But somehow, I feel like I've travelled to France where they speak English but it's not their mother tongue. You feel quite lost, but not entirely. As my Mandarin is not really proficient - I can speak but not read - I can't read all the words but I can still handle the speech with Ken and Yoke Ha as my translator. Hehe.. Luckily, there's not only me as there's also Kenneth and Sunny who are as equally blur as me. XD..

When we're bored~~~ Ken, Me & Yoke Ha. Pictures never turn out right with Ken.

Compared this to that of the above.. This is so much nicer. XD

As expected, the youngsters feel bored after a while. The row behind me which is occupied by UTARians... excelled in magic. You see.. they were just behind me a few minutes ago and when I turned back after a few minutes, they were gone. Haha.. That proves that this kind of programme is not really suitable for youngsters. However, this programme is really useful for married couples as they talk about how to cope with family stress, how to build a happy family, how to maintain a happy family and those related to happy family. Then, I turned to the back row again, now occupied by Choo, Pei Wen, Hock Heng and Kar Wai.. and I saw...

LOL!

Yah, they were playing bingo. Maybe I'm mistaken.. Maybe they are jotting notes. But, they certainly are scribbling something on the piece of paper given to us. Then, I decided to play also.. with Ken and Yoke Ha. Haha..

Yoke Ha, Hock Heng, Ken & Me outside the toilet. XD

The true definition of a spacious washroom!!! As big as a condo unit.. I'm serious and I'm not exaggerating~~~

Views from the ladies~

When an hour passed 12, we were ushered into another room for lunch. And we thought it would be a normal lunch... with nasi lemak bungkus or something like that.. But, the meal is totally different from what we thought. Gosh... We had 6 course meal!!! And there are waiters serving us. Imagine that!!! I guess it's worth it after all. (there are those who commented on the cost of the meal...)

The Chinese Set Menu

2nd Dish - Dim Sum~~~

3th Dish - Roast Chicken

4th Dish - Fish with Pattaya Sauce.. Nyummylicious~~~

6th Dish - E-fu Noodles..

We played a game.. loser eats a mouthful of it. It's not really nice... =S

Sweet couple~~~ Sunny & Ashley ^^

Hock Heng~~~ Posing hunger with the food. XD. Pei Wen's face is blurred

Hock Heng & Sunny - the Penangites~~~ Truly enjoying their food with surpising speed

The Aftermath.. LOL!

After that, we changed clothes and fled. XD.. Kenneth, Liew, Sunny & Ashley had their own programme. Choo, Kar Wai, Pei Wen & Hock Heng went back. Which leaves me, Yoke Ha & Ken. We thought of going for ice-skating in Sunway Pyramid. But, it's crowded and we had to cancel our plan. This leaves Yoke Ha to go back home as her friends won't be able to make it to Sunway Pyramid; me and Ken going for our favourite dancing class. We had to stop by at Ken's house as he needs to get the car to drive us there. And, he has the chance to show off his piano skills. ==...

Our tiredness couldn't be any more obvious - we were practically struggling to catch up with the lesson as the class started an hour ago. There are a few changes in steps, tempo and also some add-in steps. I find it hard to concentrate and feel dizzy after a few spins of the foxtrot.. I pride myself in my energy level!!! Me and Ken were already dying by the time we were asked to partner up for the dance. Finally, we took our leave at half past 6. I got to go back home straightaway, but Ken has another programme he needed to attend. It's seriously a really tiring day. But fun nevertheless...

---

Energy level depletes faster nowadays. As I said before, I pride myself on my energy level!!! And my eyes are seriously malfunctioning. They start to ache and make me sleepy when night falls. And the hour is still early, namely 8. Seriously need some kind of drug to snap me out of it!!!

After so long~~~

17th February 2009

Chee Kian wanted to see me after so long of not seeing each other. Oh well, what to do.. He misses me too much. Wakakaka.. Don't kill me Chee Kian. Hahx. So, we decided to go to Neway Karaoke in Times Square because he always didn't get the chance to sing much on other times since he doesn't understand Chinese. And since me and Darling also don't understand Chinese, we are glad to bomb the karaoke box with English songs. He doesn't sing much also. And I love the Pokemon song sang by M2m - Don't Say You Love Me. Hee~~~ Basically, the karaoke box was dominated by Darling the other day. Haha... Ok, let's not let me elaborate. And there are no pictures to prove point. XD...

And since Lynnett can't make it since she had group project till 6, we went to meet up with her in Pavilion at around 7 p.m.. Had our dinner in food court. And went Esprit since Lynnett wants to do shopping with Darling's Esprit card. She had this nice shirt. And not so nice handbag in my opinion. Hahax.. But I love her shirt.

Then, went back at around 9.30. Sent Chee Kian back home. Nice seeing you dude. It's been a long time since we've had a nice talk. And tell you what, we got lost on our way home because Vicki refused to take the route that labels "Kuala Lumpur". We reached Cheras. Had to ask way twice. ><... So, we reached home at around 10.30 p.m. Haha.. But, I was enjoying the journey of lost. Haha... Because that place is really beautiful. Especially the uniqueness of the houses. Haha... Darling was kind of frustrated with me because I seem to be enjoying getting lost. XD..

Anyway, that day was really nice. Love it totally. Because my guilt has lessened a little bit since Chee Kian and Darling are talking again. It's really sweet seeing them joking around. Brings back memories.

3rd Valentines <333

Oh.. Don't mind the words "moments with Dominic Vick '09". We took the pictures with his Cybershot camera. So, he got the pictures first-hand and he didn't come online which means I can't get the original pictures from him. I would've waited until I get the original pictures before i post up this post, but I think I should update my blog already before it starts to go dead again. XD..

Yeah, so, this is our third Valentines together and it's been a month plus since we've seen each other. Oh well, busy with out own lives. ><"""... I wonder if others girls would wilt and crumble to dust if they're in my place. I happen to come across a few girls who needs to talk to or see their guy everyday. Anyway, after so long of not seeing him, i finally understand what's the meaning of so near yet so far. Because I know that he's always there for me and physically, he's beside me. But, he seems alien to me for that moment. There's so many things I don't know about him for that past one month and I want to know. Like, how's he's been. Any problems lately??? But, I guess it would be a little bit too foolish of me. So, to lighten up the mood, I started rambling on and on which is my specialty. ><... It really needs a lot of work to ramble so much you know? XD..

I decided to go One Utama. The place is not as happening as I thought. A bit quiet but I guess it's ok overall. We went to have chocolate at Chocolate Lounge. I didn't know my Dark chocolate Mug n' Warmer will be so sweet like normal chocolate because dark chocolates are supposed to be on the bitter side. Who says all girls like sweet chocolates? But then again, I'm barely categorized as a pure girl by my classmates. Haha... And even Elephant Ken know my biggest secret. Hahaha!!! We also managed to exchange our gifts there. This is truly exchanging gifts. XD

Then we went to the arcade. We thought of watching movie. And there's a lot of new movie I can use some catching up with. But, it's too boring sitting in the theatre. So, we decided against it and went to the arcade instead. Haha.. We played the game where Darling is best at... Dancing Remix. Where you need to move the hand. Haha.. I even took a few snapshots to remember the moment. But, too bad I can't upload it since it's not with me. =(..

By the way, Darling really shrunk a lot in both posture and size. I didn't know his constant working out at the gym would result in this. Anyway, just don't overwork yourself yar. Oh yah, he even got a piercing and had a new hairstyle. I call it Rihanna hairstyle. But it looks good on him. It's not really that Rihanna lar. I just want to frust him only. XD...

These are the pics we took~~~

L.O.V.E spells Love~~~Me with the bear bear he gave me. He asked me to pose with it and walk around One utama albeit knowing that I'm so shy to walk around with a PDA symbol in my hand. Haha.. He knows better than to give flowers. XD...
And in return... He needs to pose with it. And the salesgirl and DJ is laughing. WAKAKAKA... Revenge is so sweet~~~

Then, we went to Mid Valley to have dinner. Spaghetti Grills is a real nice place. The only place with reasonable price when everyone is trying to put a hole in your pocket. Haha..

Me and Lynnett~ MuaxXx~~~ My Valentine date since 6 years ago. Hahax~~~

Oookayyyyyy... No comments. XD..

Lynnett and her boyfriend - Simon. Haha... Funny guy and cute girl.

Cool pose???

And then, it's camwhoring session. Oh wait.. It's been camwhoring session since the start. Now is advertisement.

Lynnett with tumbler~

Me with serviette. ><"""..

Yah.. It's Darling with camera casing.

Our hero!!! HAHA... Simon with Heineken coaster.

So, how's your Valentine everyone? I hope it's a happy one. ^^
