Bless The Broken Road

Happy 24th Birthday!

2011-03-08T09:29:00.000-08:00

Much drama in my recent life.

Which made me wiser, and wiser.

Let's not go into the details and just jump straight to the conclusion, since it has concluded itself and has left me with no choice, but to grow and move on. ;)

(actually, I just don't want to whine, that's why)

I'm glad to have friends who stood by me.
I'm thankful that I had sufficient Emotional Intelligence to handle the situation and come out from the "shock and hurt" as a matured person.

My parents, my pillar of strength and love in my life.

I admit that it's mentally exhausting, to feel sad, angry, disappointed and I thought, hate.

But what I hate more, would be the foolish act of wasting my life getting upset over somebody who is not worth the time and effort, and something which I can't change.

Will I still be able to love unconditionally? Trust wholeheartedly?

I think I can.

And before I do, I will just go with the flow, and let time be my best witness and mediator. ;)

To the strong and beautiful me: hehe, you deserve the best! Now, just do what you do best - love yourself.

A new year, a new journey, a new adventure

2011-01-13T08:36:00.000-08:00

This year, I just wanna be happy. ;)

This year, I just wanna pass CLP. ;)

This year, I wanna be crazy. ;)

I want to keep running.
I want to keep learning.
I want to keep growing.
I want to go traveling.

I'm back! =) (for now)

5. Malaysian Open

I ended up spending 3 days in a row at Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil just to watch the wonderful, world class tennis matches! =) it was worth the cheering (losing my voice) and the crazy name-chanting (of Mikhail Youzhny the eventual Champion). hahahaha.... crazy me.

AND so many so many more outings and gatherings and happenings that just made my life in the past 3 months WONDERFUL. =)

AND I'm looking forward to end 2010 the "Beijing" style!

Coming up:

Penang Bridge International Marathon where Queenie will make her own history by running her virgin marathon! =D

Sunlight Charity - home visits - for the underprivileged children. To put a smile on their faces and to bring them some good news!

Beijing Trip - where Christmas spirit will surround us in the Great Wall of China! =)

The Curious Incident of the dog in the night-time

2010-07-31T14:27:00.000-07:00

Thank you Mark Haddon for writing this wonderful novel.

Due to the CLP examinations, I have not been reading any other books besides statutes, orders, cases and lecture notes.

So right after the exams, I knew I needed to do something: start reading non-CLP- related books! =)

Therefore 1 day after the exams, after getting my Myanmar visa done, in the company of Chris and Jia Xin, I went to Kinokuniya and got myself this book....

"The Curious Incident" is simply brilliant.

Mark Haddon gave "Christopher Boone" such a convincing voice.

He's simple, logical and honest and he is intelligent.

Of Black Days and Yellow objects.

Of Good Days and Red food.

Of no talking to strangers.

Of counting cows and cars.

Of the mysterious death of Wellington.

I enjoyed every single line in the book.

Except the Appendix at the end which I simply couldn't make sense of or relate to. =p

So please, get a copy of this, and be fascinated by the simple things that make "Christopher" my favourite protagonist of all times!

Cooking for Daddy

2010-07-01T10:48:00.000-07:00

Butter Cereal Prawns
The fun: in frying the prawns. =)

Watermelon Chicken (my creation)
The Selling Point: It's healthy! It's "nutty"! It's WATERMELON AND CHICKEN! =p

The joy is in preparing a meal for your beloved!

It was a Happy Father's Day after all. =)

DSLR =)

2010-06-06T11:09:00.000-07:00

Unexpectedly, I got my hands on a basic DSLR. =)

I'm happy with a normal digital camera. Nothing fancy. Just enjoy capturing moments.
But I appreciate what the DSLR is capable of doing. =)

"A photograph taken with a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera starts at the lens. A DSLR lens is really a collection of sub-lenses called elements. Each lens refines and focuses light to create a sharp, high quality image."

So I shall explore further, the wonders of the DSLR camera...

Dear Jessica

2010-05-19T02:49:00.000-07:00

dedicating this blog post to my Baby Jess, an extraordinary daughter, and friend.

Whatever happens, you're not alone. =)

You've got a friend in me.

Love,
Quin.

Violin 小提琴 Vitula

2010-05-10T00:58:00.000-07:00

Playing the violin has always been my childhood dream, or more like one of my secret ambitions. Well, it's no more a dream now that I have started learning. =)

Baroque music is empowering and the sound of violin is just as wonderful.

And later, as soon as I heard The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi, I fell in love with the strings... "Winter" is peppered with silvery staccato notes from the high strings, calling to mind icy rain, whereas "Summer" evokes a thunderstorm in its final movement, which is why the movement is often dubbed "Storm."

To me, it is the most emotional musical instrument.
Sometimes it sounds like a soft speaking lady, sometimes a crying child, sometimes a heroic warrior, sometimes a blossoming flower, sometimes a lonely willow tree....

Time flies, it's been 6 months since my first violin lesson.
With the festive holidays in between, I have taken fewer lessons than I should have.
But the progress that I've made so far is something that I'm proud of. =)
Although I've been struggling with the basics, I've recently learnt to RELAX and ENJOY movements on the strings. Thanks to Ms.Yap, my truly amazing teacher.

铁马寻桥

2010-04-18T10:33:00.000-07:00

最新的TVB剧集铁马寻桥又让我见识了李添胜的“戏”。

坚诚的等待，铁马的心酸。好美的故事。
不是凄美的美，不只是感动的美，是“顾家”互相守护，“第三件事”-正义的美！=)

故事的人物，每一个都那么重要，缺一不可。
这么细腻的戏，鲜少。

有欧阳惠兰（元秋）戏里的坚诚等候，蒋上珠（惠英红）的精湛演技，她戏中的“良知”，
荣万钧（向佐）的觉悟，荣德（林嘉华）的执迷不悟，梁湛（蒋志光）的铁砂掌，他的“正义”！
榮芷晴（李诗韵）的理智孝顺，邱局长（白彪）的昏庸，排长（戴耀明）的“豁出去”！
乜都曉教頭，棠哥仔-顾汝棠（马国明）的神神化化，“胆识过人”，非笔墨能形容的“酷”！
他们都让我，不爱追戏的我，永远地，深刻地记住了欧阳彪武术馆的对联：

修合无人知，良心有天知！

良心，正义-是不是你人生中的“其中一件事”？

=)

Yes, I love Liverpool!

2010-04-03T12:03:00.000-07:00

I do! I do! I do! =)

That's my beautiful Merseyside.

Before catching the big match on Sunday, we made a trip to Liverpool.
And though we did not tour Anfield, it was awesome enough just sightseeing in Liverpool Central and Albert Dock.
I will always remember the walk at Albert Dock. The sunset was captivating.
I must admit that when we first got off the train from Manchester at Lime Street Station,IT WAS FREAKING COLD! But it was all worth it!

We even managed to have Chinese food at the biggest China Town in UK before happily hopping on the train back to Manchester that Saturday night. =)

It's no chicken.....

Bought a jersey and a scarf from the store NEXT to the official one. =p
It's 40% cheaper!

It's Liver Bird! =)

The 99 pence Toblerone Chocolate!

It's genuine! =)

收心养性

2010-03-28T10:45:00.000-07:00

是时候“收心养性”了。

人生中现阶段最大的专业执照考试要到了！同学们看见“神龙教教主”般的我-来无影，去无踪，都好奇万分，有的甚至为我提心吊胆。这疯子是在找死吗？怎么可以若无其事，还到处游荡呢？

是的，是时候“收心养性”了朋友。

香港游过了，在大屿山吃过斋，海洋公园的海狮也结识了，英国到过了，伦敦的繁华体验过了，巴黎的风情感受过了，迪士尼乐园，曼联，利物浦也畅游过了，2010年的春季，也算是非同凡响咯。

寒窗数年，考取了法律系学士学位，还得过专业鉴定考试这虎口啊！
所以心里真的有些不平衡。怎么没完没了？或许是自己的心野，过动儿症状，要我“闭关修炼”，还蛮难的！

就开开心心地考吧！过了这关，就“自由”了！

巴黎的塞纳河，我会赶上那玻璃船，力争上游，我们在钟楼见！=)

哇！二月了！

2010-02-08T03:27:00.001-08:00

天啊！看看日历，已经是2月8号了！

---其实有时候真的很想把所见，所闻，所感受，所经历的通通记在部落格里。
哈哈哈。。。I know, it's simply impossible! =)
因为在我还没准备“动笔”时，一连串的活动又接踵而来，都未来得及记录，时间又溜走了，写实的FEEL 也跑掉了。好无奈！

惟有等到“灵感”回来之时，再仔细记录，回味。

虽然往年那浓浓的新年气息已不复再，心里孩子似的期盼还是有的！呵呵。。。

所以，新的一年里！！！一定要舞虎扬威！好在明年兔气扬眉！

恭喜恭喜！

42km. A goal. A promise.

2010-01-12T08:49:00.001-08:00

I'm glad that the pain in my left foot is gone. =)

And I can finally run properly during my usual training!
Thanks to 'coach' who disciplined me during my 'injury time'.

So, I shall proudly announce 1 of my 2010 resolutions:

TO RUN MY FIRST EVER 42KM BY END OF THIS YEAR.

Tentatively, the most probable timing would be during the Penang Bridge International Marathon 2010 - 21st November 2010.

The marathon is a long-distance foot race with an official distance of 42.195 kilometres (26 miles and 385 yards), that is usually run as a road race.

Been 'googling' Full Marathon world records...and well, I can only read those records in awe. =p

Hahaha...But I've taken my 1st baby step by beginning to DREAM about it!
So I guess I'm not so far from achieving. (in my dreams) =D

Run on Quin!

*peace*

Sometimes when we touch...

2010-01-11T09:04:00.000-08:00

It was 9th January 2009.
A Saturday.
Like my usual Saturdays, this was also an interesting one.

The only difference was, my heart was opened and touched by the Special Children in Rumah Sayangku.

I woke up at 6.30am, tried my best to wake lil'bro up (not without difficulties). =p
Thank goodness he was cooperative. )He had earlier promised to join me volunteering.

We took a detour to Cheras to collect the banner.

The journey to Kuala Langat was quite 'interesting' since I relied 100 per cent on my sense of direction... the GPS was quite 'helpful' in repeatedly showing me the wrong way.

A huge and warm party was going on when we reached.
The volunteers were energetic, the kids, overjoyed!

We painted faces, eggs, made kites, photo frames...
They danced, sang, performed whole-heartedly...
They gave their best. =)

And I really appreciate every one of them.
Their limitations have brought them even closer to their parents, their loved ones.

Physical, Inherent imperfections have made them inspirations to an ordinary person like me.

Like the bird I painted on Ikmal's face, these special children should fly freely in the sky, that is filled with hope and love. And faith.

In face of 2010, Positive. =)

2010-01-04T22:35:00.000-08:00

Like a fish, I shall take on the vast ocean without fear! =)
And hopefully, when December comes, I'm a bigger, better & wiser fish!

I was not at all excited about this movie.
I thought it was just another animation adopted from some comic.
Well, I was ignorant and clearly, wrong. =p

The storyline takes us through the adventure of Jake Sully...
In real life, Jake is just a disabled guy. Nobody ever expects him to be capable or anywhere near his able twin. But the 'diplomatic' ploy with the Na'vis opened the door for Jake to become a real warrior, a conqueror, a true hero.

He finds himself valued and appreciated in Pandora.

This movie is more than just Graphics and Animation.
It reminds us of how selfish human beings are.
The wealth we derive at the expense of the riches of nature.

Reminds me of Colours of The Wind--my favorite theme song from Pocahontas. =)

Lonely Christmas?

2009-12-21T04:40:00.000-08:00

"Sleighbells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening.
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight.
Walking in a Winter Wonderland."

Feeling a little mixed up....or maybe it's just my temperamental blues...>.<

Hope it's going to be a Merrie Christmas after all. =)

Graduation.

2009-12-14T06:38:00.001-08:00

2010年里最受重视的一桩差事，就是考取律师执照！然后贡献社会！哈哈。
有人说：“lawyers are bloodsuckers." >.<
我说：“If that is true i don't mind being a hot vampire!" =p

2010年的Resolutions...愿望：

*To be updated soon! =p*

But one of them will surely be the continuous search for someone who shares the same passion in the things I love to do. =) Someone that understands me. =p And be brave enough to explore in this wide, beautiful and amazing world with me! hehe...

What a day! =)

2009-11-12T05:58:00.000-08:00

Today - 12th November 2009.

With the sleepy bug bothering me all morning in class, and the mood swing that seemed to be lingering around, I made a decision to not attend the afternoon tutorials!

No, I don't feel guilty for playing truancy. I needed a break. Yes!

So I drove to The Gardens. Parked my car at my favourite spot. Strolled in the mall.
I was thinking of sushi but I ended up walking into Austin Chase. Ordered Turkey Sandwich. Ice Tea. Banana Caramel Smoothie. =p Magazines and a new novel- Natural Born Charmer.... Love my 'me' time!

You see, I've been working very hard. So I thought I really deserved RETAIL THERAPY!!!

So I walked into Mizuno Concept Store on the 3rd floor...and then the 'tap water' started running....and then Nike Shop...then Marks and Spencer. Let's not dwell on the details of purchase. =p

But wow! What a day! =D

I was happy like a kid who got his toy!

Then I came back in time to work out at Taman Bukit Jalil, with my coach.

It was raining cows and elephants!
Everything in the park were spectacular...gosh it was perfect! Though it was chilling cold....

But wow! What a day! =D

All in a day. =p

2009-10-20T04:28:00.000-07:00

A storm is brewing for tonight.
And I'm feeling hyper, as usual, after a great workout. =)

Let me tell you, if you're ever interested to know....well, I'm telling you anyway ---
I had a very very very busy day today.

I went to SEVEN Chinese Primary Schools, 1 Temple, 1 Press Conference, ran 4km, did strength training..dan lain-lain. =p

I started with SJK(C) Tai Thung, SJK(C) Confucian, then Salak South, Kwong Hon...
then I rushed back to attend the Installation Ceremony at the 'Ci Ji Gong' Temple.
This was followed by the Press Conference in Old Klang Road.
WithOUT taking a break, I went to Choong Wen where I saw this cute little boy being punished...he had to copy 弟子规. =p There,I met Kai Yun. She was really happy and surprised to see me. =D

Next, I drove in the rain, to Brickfields, where SJK(C) La Salle is located, did my talking and came back to OUG Yoke Nam, my primary school.

Here, I met many ex-teachers..they were not surprised to see me. >.<
Partly due to my frequent visits. =)

Oh ya, the reason for me 'hopping' among the schools --Sunlight Education Financial Aid Fund. It's my yearly ritual, pay the Penolong Kanans a visit after faxing a letter to inform them of the new application process.

Oopsss....sorry, too technical. hehe....but I have so much fun doing it! =) alone.

Letting my better sense prevail

2009-10-07T02:57:00.000-07:00

In times like this, there is no better path besides the one that I'm taking.
To stand tall and strong.
Sticking to my decision.
Standing by wisdom.
And lead the train of life through greater adventures,with an open mind.
And a brave heart.

Blogging on my sweet surprise~ iPhone

2009-10-07T02:38:00.000-07:00

Thank you Daddy. ; )

just when I needed a phone that allows me to make calls and text without hassle!
And just when I needed to forget about someone who is shameless...
Just when I needed some music to get my head and heart straight...
Just when I needed some sweet pictures to browse through during my free time...
Some love. Some fun. Some style. Some elegance. Some comfort.

Just when I needed you most. =)
Touch my life, iPhone.

What do you do when you know it's not working?

2009-09-24T06:27:00.000-07:00

Do you let go?
Move on without a word?
Hold on?
Keep going even though you know you're heading nowhere?

Whatever you do, choose the path which cherishes the most important thing that you have, your happiness. =)

So, when you're at a bottleneck and when you're in doubt, LOVE YOURSELF FIRST.
That's the least that you can do to move on and out from a relationship which undervalues you.

So I quote a wise friend,'Cherish Yourself'.

*peace* =)

CLP

2009-09-12T11:01:00.000-07:00

After 3 eventful months. A long wait has ended and CLP knocked on our doors as soon as the UOL Result-Bomb landed during our "wake me up when September comes" chorus.

I am glad to be at the start of this challenging journey.
Unafraid of what lies ahead, marching on with lots of determination, discipline and 'durability' is the way to go.

To all my fellow compatriots who have successfully graduated and entered the same 'war zone', congratulations and all the best!

Taman Negara

2009-08-09T03:48:00.000-07:00

It's been 12 years since I last visited Taman Negara.

This year I went there in the company of Jo, Perng Yann and Richelle.

We spent 3 days and 2 nights at Woodlands Resort. It was not as ideal as Mutiara Taman Negara, but I have no complaints. The chalet was lovely.

The part I enjoyed most was Rapid Shooting.
It was sheer excitement as we rode on the rapid river flow...I still remember how we were splashed wet from head to toe and how the sun shone brightly on our cheeks. =)

The Jungle Walk - not so entertaining as compared to the last trip.
Well, you don't get to see much in the jungle, in terms of wild life, since it's Peak Season and tourists are flocking the park, away from the city.
A few spiders and lizards were the common thing.

We spent our last night having buffet at Mutiara Taman Negara.
The atmosphere was still as serene and elegant as before.
Food wise, not the best if you're expecting 5 stars.

3 days are all too short to experience the beautiful park.

Next trip: Gunung Tahan? =)

My Favourite at Marmalade, Bangsar Village

2009-07-23T01:12:00.000-07:00

The Legendary Avocado Accents!

Baby Jess' Belated Birthday Dinner at Daore

2009-07-23T00:57:00.000-07:00

As we were too hungry and exhausted to travel to Mont Kiara, we decided to try this out outlet in Bandar Puteri, near Baby Eve's house.

The food was good and we received friendly service from the staff.

I love Rakuzen!

2009-07-23T00:34:00.000-07:00

I lost count of the number of visits to Rakuzen.

We usually go to the one in Sunway Pyramid.

We love it here in Plaza Damas too!

The sashimi is always great.

A Recap of the pre-exam 'syndrome'

2009-06-04T09:21:00.001-07:00

What would I do without Ms.Samantha Tan and Ms.Sheryl Chung around to 'shine our armours'?

I have to confess that I MISS YOU NYAMUKS! for Bugging my life with your silly jokes!
For dragging out of my comfort zone and pushing me to do more, and more.

Whatever the outcome. I know it was not a waste of time.

We had so much fun together.

Happie that exam's over. But a little 'lost' at the same time, knowing that we have nothing to read for TWELVE to FIFTEEN HOURS a day for FIVE WEEKS! =p

Short-lived Joy. Long Live the THREE MOSQUITOES!!!

My Way~

2009-06-04T09:07:00.000-07:00

"..and now, the end is near, and so I face, the FINAL curtain..."

My Final paper for Final year Finally.
Could have ended better...but well...it's life....SO WHERE THE HELL WAS THE DOMICILE QUESTION??!!!

okay. It's over now. Let it go woman,just let it go.

Time for reflection. Time to resume with my duties.
Time to have some fun. Time pick up the pieces and face the the rest of 2009~~

MOSTLY, HAVE. FUN. =)

CLP. I'll see you soon.

till then, I would like to complete the song...

"...I did it MY WAY~!!"

Final Year Revision, Finally~

2009-05-13T10:18:00.000-07:00

Lately, in case I have not kept you updated, I've been preparing for my Finals.

Thanks to my beloved Nyamuk Gang...it has been the best, most enjoyable, bearable revision in my entire academic life. *winks*

Tan Sri Nyamuk Besar and Tun Nyamuk Kecil have successfully kept me in check.
Making sure that I don't slack.

Really appreciate the study companionship.

Hahahaha...I have no complaints but one, I just can't stand it when they smoke! =p
But that's fine. Really. I'm Okay.

All the best to the Nyamuks!
WE CAN DO IT!
NO doubt bout that!

High Flight - an Airman's Ecstacy

2009-04-17T10:13:00.000-07:00

Came across this beautifully written sonnet by

an Anglo-American aviator and poet who died as a result of a mid-air collision over Lincolnshire during World War II.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

John Gillespie Magee (1922 - 1941)

Woman In Love~

2009-04-11T12:48:00.000-07:00

To really love a woman, to understand her
You gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought, see every dream
An' give her wings when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her, that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
'Cuz she needs somebody
To tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman?
Yeah

To really love a woman, let her hold you
Til' you know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her, really taste her
Til' you can feel her in your blood
An' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
'Cuz she needs somebody
To tell her that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman?

Oh
You've got to give her some faith, hold her tight
A little tenderness, you gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin' good care of you
You really gotta love your woman, ya

And when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
'Cuz she needs somebody
To tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman?
Yeah

Just tell me have you ever really
Really, really, ever loved a woman?
Oh
Just tell me have you ever really
Really, really, ever loved a woman?

This beautiful song by Bryan Adams just gives me the goosebumps everytime i listen to it~ Isn't it great? Love! Love! Love~!

Drawing Some Loving Energy from what they said...

2009-04-10T09:03:00.000-07:00

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. - Plato-

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. -Lao Tzu-

First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity. -George Bernard Shaw-

We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love. -Tom Robbins-

It comes in a package!

Sheryl said that to her, relationship is like cigarettes. It's bad for health but you smoke anyway because it gives you pleasure sometimes.

I said: What? Sometimes only???? And you risk your health for the pleasure sometimes??? So not worth it lah woman!

Why can't it be like Running in the park? It's good for health and it's enjoyable!
It's addictive too! But it keeps you healthy!

Ordinary Miracle~

2009-03-21T19:58:00.000-07:00

It's a beautiful Sunday~

I miss this feeling! The freedom~~~
Waking up before dawn....running freely on an empty path....
breathing in the crisp and fresh air!

Moving at my own pace...
Pacing my own rhythm...

And the most beautiful thing about today is that I don't know what's ahead!
But I'm sure even the most ordinary things....can be miracles. Are miracles.

Isn't it great? WE ARE LIVING, A MIRACLE~!

It’s not that unusual when everything is beautiful
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

The sky knows when its time to snow
You don’t need to teach a seed to grow
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own

Isn’t it remarkable?
Like every time a raindrop falls
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

Birds in winter have their fling
And always make it home by spring
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

When you wake up everyday
Please don’t throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
Cause we are all a part
Of the ordinary miracle

Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?

Its seems so exceptional
Things just work out after all
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

The sun comes up and shines so bright
It disappears again at night
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

It’s just another ordinary miracle today

Miss the feeling of Loneliness~

2009-03-18T01:24:00.000-07:00

It's 4.25pm. And I'm sitting in my favorite corner at Starbucks,Bangsar.

Gosh I miss this feeling!

I got my hair done just now~ Relaxed instead of Rebonding.
(hahaha..like I know what they mean!)

I'm listening to my favorite oldies as I try to make some notes and read some materials on Ronald Dworkin. (yes,my favorite jurist, for now lah~)

I'm indulging in the Green-Tea Ice Blended Cream, minus the sugar. =)

My My....I love this feeling!!!

Just me and sweet little indulgence!

I'm ready to roll! =D

toodles~~~~

Money money money~

2009-03-04T17:49:00.000-08:00

Warning:
Please realize that this is just a temperamental, desperate shout-out, for the sake of shouting and stress-relief. part of my 3 months meditation. till LLB ends.

The past few months have been pretty eventful as I juggled Charity Activities, saved some wildboars,met my favorite high-school friends (as frequent as I could), attended classes, Emcee-d a handful of weddings, took part in the community events, celebrated Chinese New Year......the list goes on, and on.

"I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay Aint it sad - "happening", actually.
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me - maybe because i've been spending as much!
Thats too bad - yea, too bad. >.<
In my dreams I have a plan - oh yes, a cunning plan.
If I got me a wealthy man - okay, that's too far...
I wouldnt have to work at all, Id fool around and have a ball... -i'd still want to work AND fool around!
Money, money, money
Must be funny In the rich mans world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich mans world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
Its a rich mans world
.....
So I must leave, Ill have to go - yes I must!
To las vegas or monaco - to Sipadan or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same... - dive the waters i've been dying for, and embrace the great outdoors....~

*SIGH*

But now, it is me and my Finals.
Do or Die.

So Money, money, money, you'll have to wait.

just a random upload of my piggie Sis and I . (from Cousin Shahrul's Wedding)

p/s: I've been uploading some pictures on facebook too.

Mommy's Birthday~

2009-03-01T04:03:00.000-08:00

23rd February.

He bought Her roses!

We took Her out to dinner.

At Alexis,the Gardens.

Fat bro finished Seafood Spaghetti AND, AND ONE WHOLE PIZZA.

Dad ordered his favourite dessert Tiramisu.

Mom enjoyed the Nyonya Mee Siam.

Sis loved her Beef Sandwich.

I had Soft-shell Crab Soba.

And we all sang the Happy Birthday Song~ followed by mushy mushy hugs and kisses and love-you s...

Happie Birthday Mommy.
(more beautiful -- 'leng lui' each year)

Valentine's~

2009-02-14T11:23:00.000-08:00

What a Day~!
A friend told me how sad it is to spend Valentine's without a lover.

I told him: "haha...you're not alone. With the one you love, any day can be 'the' day."

So why fret and sigh when you're NOT alone!
Look around you!!! Your family, friends and loved ones! =)
Isn't this the best time to truly feel the LOVE that surround us everyday?

Well, I spent the day doing work. Yes, a lot of work. All not that romantic. =p

Charity + Emcee for a Wedding Dinner... Not bad at all. =)

On another note, I had such a great time with 3 lovely ladies that day...
Here are some pics to tell how scenic and memorable was the evening...with a musical twist at the end.

2009

2009-01-01T08:36:00.000-08:00

I spent the end of 2008 in haste~

It's very different this year.

No fireworks countdown. Just me reconnecting with myself.

So much to do. So little time.

Therefore, the word for the start of the year is FOCUS.

6 months till the end of Law Degree~
270 under-privileged students to care for~
365 meaningful days to paint~

Family & Friends ~
Hope & Faith ~
Vision & Motivation ~
Goals & Objectives ~
Wisdom & Courage ~
Opportunity & Fate ~

Welcome 2009 --you are my 365 more days of fulfillment!!!

I miss you very much Rocky

2008-12-26T20:09:00.000-08:00

it kills me to watch horse-themed movies...

it just reminds me so much of him, my dear friend.
Not a day has passed when I don't miss him...

The Hallmark Effect

2008-12-25T01:29:00.000-08:00

Yes yes, I'm talking about the Hallmark effect of the Hallmark Channel.

Just in case you are reading this and you don't already know, I am a 'tearbag'. Yes, the tears, they come every time Simba comes running to Mustafa's fall, every time Lilo parts with Stitch, whenever Giselle lea
ves Robert for Edward to Endalasia....you know....the story of Life & Love, I don't know how to describe it...just whenever the scene gives me more than goosebumps, the feeling of love, or , or simply Christmas joy~ So I say, watch Hallmark when you lost touch of your sensitive side.
Hallmark ~ dreams do come true.

Merrie Christmas~

An Afternoon in & around National University of Singapore

2008-12-09T20:45:00.000-08:00

Great~! (I finally have a brief moment to publish this post.)

Thanks to my ever so helpful & kind friend --Mr.Chew Lup Wai, a current 2nd Year Engineering student in NUS, I had the opportunity to tour the beautiful campus.

Here are some shots from the supposedly 20minutes bus ride in the campus!

Bottom Top

Honoured to be part of the Magical, Sensational Bottom Top~

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2008

2008-11-17T07:24:00.001-08:00

Tears rolled down my cheeks when the Finishing Line crossed me.
I mean when I...when I...ME!!!...finally crossed the Finishing Line.

For a Newbie like me....

It was such great experience..to be able to run on the hassle-free Penang Bridge!
to have fresh clean morning sea breeze gently wiping my sweat!
to run in the dark (it was 5am when my run started)...and see the 1st ray of sun light on that wonderful morning~~shining on my path to the finishing line!!

All I wanted was to complete the race..time was not a factor. But to have completed my maiden 25km at the speed of average 9mins/km is not so bad after all.
A positive starting note for me. =)

My first 25km~~of sweat and blood and tears....
Now that I've proven to myself that I can do it...I'm more confident for the runs in future.

Next destination on my Running Calendar:
Singapore Standard Chartered International Marathon ~~ 7th December 2008~~

Just do it =)

Baby It's Cold Outside

2008-11-04T09:07:00.000-08:00

Happie Birthday Qian~

2008-10-28T09:10:00.000-07:00

it's Her 21st Birthday!!!

I hope my wishes reach her in many different ways....hehehe....

Most importantly, I want Her to know that....
as a Friend...She touched me and motivated me in all the ways that I could AND couldn't imagine.

words will never be sufficient to justify your importance to me....

Happie Birthday Qian~ =)

Star Wars - - - - - > Win the Battle, We Must.

2008-10-22T07:32:00.000-07:00

In order to understand my Jurisprudence Tutor better, I determinately watched ALL THREE (the 1st 3) episodes of Star Wars in a row.

I didn't need to wait till the end to ask myself : Why did I dislike this Star Wars thing back then?
Maybe it appeared silly...must be that stupid Lightsaber. I used to think that was super childish.
haha...Honestly, I still think that's funny...it killed Qui-gon Jin alright!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's lecture. When I can nod in comprehension of what Mr.Arvind says....about Star Wars and how Professor Hart is actually Lord Vader...
I wonder who will Dworkin be!

Super Trouper

2008-10-19T09:49:00.000-07:00

I think. I guess. I really love the Mamma Mia Musical. I went to the Road Shows. Hoping to win the tickets. Although I didn't get any, I had a great deal of fun!!!! It was not a waste of time at all. =) I am sure.

Have you Ever Seen RAIN?

2008-10-16T09:32:00.000-07:00

It's raining everyday now!

It's my favorite season~~well,not as if I'm getting any of it.(in Malaysia)
But the Rainfall is remarkable.

Every drop is just an Ordinary Miracle.
don't you think so?

We don't have to worry, the seeds will grow.
But our clothes! They don't dry. lol~~

Ahh! My fresh and cool air...
But wait a minute. (okayy,i'm Bias. I just LOVE RAINY DAYS!!!)

and the Sun that shines so brightly After.

I love rain!!!
Takes my blues away~~

Mamma Mia-ness!

2008-10-08T11:29:00.000-07:00

TWICE, so far.

And I'm sure I'll never get bored of it.
Just like I'll never get bored of The Sound of Music.
Just like the addiction to a nice warm Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Ice-cream topping.
Just like the love for the Ocean and scuba-diving.
Just like the bond between me and Rocky Boy.
Just like a nice warm Sunbeam.
Just like a walk in the Rain.
A nice long shower after that.

My favorite scene in Mamma Mia! the movie....was Our Last Summer.
I guess that's exactly what and how I'd like to recall my fond memories of youth in years to come.
Oh yes! =D

Wild Boars~~

2008-09-21T09:33:00.000-07:00

Yay~!!!!

Here they come~~~!!!

Now you know what 'incites' me to jog daily???

The Beijing Olympics

2008-08-06T23:41:00.000-07:00

I'm proud to be Chinese.
Or at least, to have blood of my ancestors flowing in my veins.

The moment is near.
I can feel
The drums thundering
The crowd cheering
Millions of heart, beating at once.
The celebration of growth and glory.
The long awaited explosion of undying love.
Love for the nation.

Playing host to the Olympics,
Who said the top of the world is yet to be?
Who said they are saving the best for last?

Bask in the greatest moment,
Cry in tears of joy,
Smile, because you are --China.

I'm Chinese

2008-08-05T00:08:00.000-07:00

I've always wanted to post something in Chinese....

Guys change!

the Attached Life~

2008-07-23T20:39:00.000-07:00

the practice, the real thing....

I've always wanted to work as an attachment student at a law firm...so finally....

....my 6th day into it...and I've learned how to craft a defense, write submissions, to conduct effective legal research...and to THINK like a dirty lawyer...haha...well...at least I tried! =)

woah...the workload is quite something to handle.

It is indeed a very challenging field...and I don't regret a bit..

Enjoying this Life~~

Fatty in My Life

Caught sleeping and DROOLING in the palace!!

My Precious Lil'Monster Bro~~

a bad diving is better than a good day at work~~

2008-06-20T09:26:00.000-07:00

Okay, so this wasn't the best dive site.
We have better ones back home.

The Racha-Yai Island's Home Run Reef, South of Phuket Island had glass clear water.
But unfortunately, luck was definitely not on our side as nothing really 'wow-ed' us down there.
Visibility was amazing but there were no surprises....

Anyways, the Day Trip aboard was so pleasant I almost forgot about how disappointed I was about the diving part. >?< haha...nevermind...now you know Quin.

Wanna dive? Stay away from Home Run Reef. *beep*

You Just Keep Running~~

2008-06-19T13:02:00.000-07:00

the Marathoners from Taiwan...to them, 42km was 'sap sap sui' (super easy).
all of them completed the run effortlessly......scary. >.<

The 3rd Phuket Laguna International Marathon themed Run Paradise attracted thousands of runners from 21 countries~~I did not carry along my camera...would have taken more shots that would tell you what I witnessed and how I felt that day....AMAZING.

Me and sis at the start..........hahaha......we ended up at the 'end'...well winn would know what I mean. =.="

Great hosts for the big day~~~multi-lingual too.....

"Mr.Chan Chee Pong from Malaysia!!!" finally crossing the finishing line...LOL

when dreams shrink,vision blurred,but heart still beats

2008-06-09T12:04:00.000-07:00

I did bad for LLB-part 1.
very depressed.

Kungfu Panda made my day.

I don't deserve a break.

I don't deserve indulgence.

I don't want failure but it may turn out to be the inevitable outcome.

I want to run free from this crazy place and get lost in the great outdoors right NOW.

things to do during the next 3 months...
diving,charity,theater,tuition,travel,attachment to law firm

it's 3a.m. my cheeks are still wet from p.s. I Love You.....
and my 1st paper-evidence, is 19 days away.

not the best time to watch a movie when my head should be in the Q & A s...
not a best time to be dreaming about my ideal husband....gosh..Gerard Butler is so 'phantom'ically beautiful....i mean.....he's......a man....

am i too dreamy, unpractical, lost and over-imaginative....
or is there love everywhere?

i tend to believe when they tell me i'm crazy......
i want to believe...
i do...
i believe.

okay.....what am i talking about? what am i thinking?

p.s. Guess What?

一生中最爱....

2008-04-15T02:47:00.000-07:00

have you ever felt this way? everything is moving at a steady pace, everything normal, everything seems fine but you have a storm inside you? right now, that's what i'm feeling...i don't know what has changed or what has not but somehow i need a new lift~ *
sigh..Quin, it's just one of those days where you're too focus on abstract feelings and now you're making a fuss about it* but really, i think i'm starting to feel too much.

well, maybe it's good. coz i never really paid attention to how i felt but rather what people thought lately.... it's the 'tiga lapan' nature. haih.......that's what happens when my buddies are not around to 'cleanse my soul'. you know i'm referring to you, you and you~~Qian, Chris, Mei Yan....

man.......my mind is so screwed rite now.....

okay......please allow me to post something that touched me recently.... this may seem random, but really, it's NOT.

there were at least 12 babies like baby Catherine at the orphanage.... just look at them and tell me you're in love with them please.....

The ONE-IN-A-MILLION Birthday Cake

~~Oh Carol! and I~~

SURPRISE SURPRISE~!!!

7th of March 2008 was truly unforgettable....my 21st Birthday....
what a unique way to celebrate it.
i was actually putting up banners till 6a.m. on that day! =D
really cool experience.

it was the last day for the GE campaigning period and it was getting pretty intense in terms of fierce exchange of media statements between Carol and Teresa.
hahaha..i am yet to write a post on the afterthoughts of my participation in GE and my thoughts on the results nationwide. (tak ada masa) =p perhaps later...

one thing's for sure...everyone in the machinery and contributed throughout that 13 days rocked! =D

a VERY meaningful and dramatic 21st Birthday for me....hehe....

p/s: i have omitted LOTS of things here...so you know...please excuse me. =)

ELECTION~~PART I

2008-03-02T08:49:00.000-08:00

well....since I can't vote YET, joining the force to campaign for the party is the 'least' I can do.

So FAR, So GOOD lah~~~

When one is poor or desperate or dissatisfied, the fire in him is easily ignited.
And that, is how the opposition gain votes.

Just look at my Constituent-Seputeh...for 26 years, we've been under the DAP reign.
And so, sadly, for 26 years, nothing constructive has been crystallized around here.
From security to hygiene, from road building to the children's education, NOTHING.
And WHY, you ask.
I can tell you with 100% conviction, the voters here have been too 'generous'.
Too generous towards DAP.

Yes I know, they say we need opposition's voice to act as the essential check and balance in the Parliament.
But Think....
What have they done??? For you? For your children? Built schools? Community halls?
Helped the poor?
What did all the 'shouting' do? What good did it do?
What concrete development has it brought about???
NOTHING. NOTHING.

Here in Seputeh......
Teresa has been given too many chances.

We only have 25% of Chinese people in Malaysia.
If we are the majority, I wouldn't mind having some shadow party rep standing as MP, but please! We only make up 25% of the population! Do we still want to divide among ourselves???

MCA work quietly...consistently....
DAP publicize, sensationalize....

Come on People, please tell me, does Inflation only happens in Malaysia?
Price Hike only occurs in our country? And our oil price hike, is it a Malaysian syndrome?
Read. Listen. Observe.
And you will soon learn that it's a FACT, it's INHERENT in any developing nation.

NO ACTION, TALK ONLY. THAT'S WHAT YOU STAND FOR, DAP.

They are talking about fairness...transparency...freedom...but what good can they do when they can't even field their candidates in peace???
People gave them their votes, but what did DAP repay the people with???
All the 'barking'....?=== Helping?

Voice of the opposition need not necessarily come from the opposition.
We can think too.
We, too, can voice out our frustration and stand up for our people's right!!!
On top of that, we, standing in Unity and as a TEAM, MATERIALIZE, BUILD and NURTURE.
As opposed to CRITICIZE, DESTROY and BICKER.

so YOUNG....and UNPREPARED...

2008-02-10T01:40:00.000-08:00

so it's official....my cousin is going to be a dad in 6 months. at 21.

the whole family is united and backing him up....
his esteem and confidence now will determine what kind of beginning it is for his new family.
a marriage ceremony and a wedding dinner are on the way....
surely, we have to accept what has happened and not to resist what's ahead....

but, as ever....things are not perfect.
massive questions of social responsibilities and family values are involved.
well, there are three sides to every coin....
we have conspired to welcome a new member to the family with open arms and hearts.
so it's something worth being happy about...
and of course, there are worries.....abundant too.

so we'll see...

nourishing their live as one family with endless blessings... =)

Wondering Wanderer....

2008-02-05T05:39:00.000-08:00

some hearts are lonely this year.... =p

just let myself back into the stream of day dreams again.

at 21years old, don't know what's ahead but making sure that things are beyond reasonable doubt, positive. =)

I guess by the end of Chinese New Year Eve (tomorrow)... I'm going to be an aunt 'officially'.

I just want my dear cousin to be happy and strong.
Although among us, he is the first to become dad, get married...which came really,surprisingly but somehow, to me, expectedly, I wish him every happiness in the world in being blessed with a baby.

My love is with you bro, and my future niece/nephew~~

Went to KLPAC @ Sentul Park today, had my chocolate milkshake with Lorna over Evidence 'revision'.
What a nice place to hang out~~~ I think I found another 'chilling' place. =)

oy MORONS~!!!

2008-01-28T10:44:00.000-08:00

well well.......i should do something with this pathetic blog. LOL~~

so here it goes...

the recent local headlines have made me think a lot....
the missing 5 year old Sharlinie....
the departed Suharto....
the upcoming General Election.....
the Royal Commission on the Lingam video.....
another bus accident that took away Nian Ning's life.....

what the hell is happening???

seriously,after the death of missing Nurin. Do we want 5000 more missing children to put enough sense into the parents' head???
It's a FIVE YEAR OLD we are talking about!!!!!! How can they be so careless and reckless in taking care of their kids in their custody?!!!
Letting a young child walk to the night market,ALONE.
HELLO??? please realize how unreasonable that is already!!!!

Daddies and Mommies,stop taking things for granted already! Your kid's life is in your hands. So please protect it like your Life!

and to those SENSELESS and BLOODY child abducter and rapist out there....
you know who you are and what you are doing,so repent already to save your worthless dead body from being buried again and again. Or just end your sorry life and disappear from the face of the earth before you're found-plead-not-guilty-waste-everyone's-time-
and-embarrass-your-entire-clan!

and Mr.Lingam, as much as you like to say 'it's not me..sounds like me.but not me...', please realize that WE ARE NOT BLIND NOR DEAF.... the conviction or accusation aside, it is you when it is you alright...so stop wasting everyone's time by giving lame and ridiculous excuses like 'i had a lot to drink' or 'i was just showing-off'......crap lah~~~~your jokes are NOT-FUNNY-AT-ALL.

and you IRRESPONSIBLE bus drivers out there!!!
Do we have to teach you the basic NOT-TO-DO-s while driving???

and yes,I really think that it is high time that we monitor these notorious and idiotic suckers like criminals!!! By all means,let's make them (the still-hopeful-responsible-drivers) into excellent ones.
p/s: take away their handphones and cigarettes and anything/everything that require their hand/hands off the wheels and eyes off the road!
We don't want to lose any more innocent lives due to their (damnable drivers)' stupidity that knows no bound~!

it's back to EVIDENCE and assignment now....
~~no more daunting headlines please..especially when the case can be prevented by PEOPLE WHO JUST NEED TO CARE A LIL MORE ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU DO,if you know what I mean...DO you??

A London Dream~~

2008-01-13T05:47:00.000-08:00

BAR~~
that's what I am going to do after my LLB degree. =)
and London,there's where I want to be,well,at least,i WISH,and I'm preparing for it.

**BVC Providers**

Institution	Location	Circuit	Approx. course fees
BPP Professional Education	Leeds (from 2006)	North Eastern	£10,250
UWE, Bristol	Bristol	Western	£8,095
Cardiff Law School	Cardiff	Wales and Chester	£8,500
The College of Law	London	South Eastern	£12,375
The College of Law	Birmingham (from 2007)	Midland Circuit	£9,900
Inns of Court School of Law	London	South Eastern	£12,770
Manchester Metropolitan University	Manchester	Northern	£8,705
Northumbria University	Newcastle upon Tyne	North Eastern	£8,500
Nottingham Law School	Nottingham	Midland Circuit	£9,675

Entry requirements

The entry requirements for the BVC is a qualifying law degree with no less than lower second class (2:2) honours, or a degree in another subject with no less than 2:2 honours in addition to a pass in the Graduate Diploma in Law or Common Professional Examination (CPE) (also known as a law conversion course).

Candidates for the BVC should demonstrate strong academic qualifications (preferably Upper Second Class Honours degree and above from a leading university or excellent extra-curricular activities). A suitable candidate should provide strong evidence of a commitment to the Bar.

On the evidence of recent years approximately:

2,900 students apply to the BVC, 1,700 get a BVC place, 1,250 pass the BVC, 560 get pupillage, 500 get tenancy (i.e. become a self-employed barrister)

As a result, the BVC is often criticised as less than one in three who successfully complete the BVC will practise as a barrister.

Course options

The course bridges the gap between academic study and the practical work of a barrister by teaching subjects with which a pupil barrister will need to be familiar. Core modules include: Criminal Advocacy, Civil Advocacy, Drafting, Opinion Writing, Client Conferencing, Negotiation, Criminal Litigation and Setencing, Civil Litigation, Evidence, Practical Legal Research, Case Preparation and Analysis, Professional Conduct and Ethics and two Optional modules (these vary from institute to institute).

hmm....so yea,I'm putting all these down here,as a reminder and motivation! =D

p/s: Qian,I hope I can make it there. =)

The World Needs People and People Need Heart and People With Heart...

2008-01-08T23:40:00.000-08:00

yea....If you know what I mean...

after being part of the charity organization for months and having done the societal welfare work,I think I know who I want to be.

I'm not just going to sit there and waste the taxpayers' money,together with the people who share the same vision and heart, I want to reduce poverty and provide for the underprivileged students.
There are groups of minority out there, who have more to offer the world but simply limited by means.

I despise selfish agendas and corrupted motives.

The end to political turmoils.

People have to wake up and realize not how much but how little they can do to bring about constructive change to the country and its people.

You just need to carry your heart with you.

That extra warmth you cater will make this world a bearable place.

I hope I am not alone....I don't know how far can I go, but I will stop at nothing to serve the needy and learn to be someone who is Bold,Courageous and Effective in doing so.

Horse Riding~~

2008-01-08T06:59:00.000-08:00

Since Rocky passed away, it hurts everytime I see horses.....i miss him so so much.....
How can I ever recover from the loss and start riding again?
Perhaps in March or later.....it's been so long but I simply cannot overcome the barrier....

I wish he lived. I wish they never had to put him down. I wish I could talk to him and feed him and bathe him again.....dance with him....again and again....I know it's too much to ask for but If Only.....

I learned that a lost friend can never be replaced......Rocky,was more than my friend.
We know each other. You might think that I'm crazy but really, he knows me.

I miss you Rocky, and I love you~~that is eternal.
I hope you are in a better place now. Where people are kind and carrots are fine. =)

long live the multi-racial sisterhood. =)

this 2 girls means more than the wonderful dinner outings at Chillis,more than silly hang-outs,more than the fantastic Bangsar nights.... 3 totally different people...it's serendipity. =)
we never knew we could grow so close.....in our little circle...i experienced priceless honesty and invaluable love.

with you girls.......i'm content and happy.
may our unique relationship keeps its flame through years to come and blossoms through our lifetime. this is for you...my girls.

feeling JaZzy...

2007-10-03T10:30:00.000-07:00

just came back from a jazz concert....Gruv Avenue. =)
it was fabulous! i am definitely not letting go any opportunities to hang out more in jazz clubs now on.....

well,i realized something today,or maybe this realization realized itself over the week......
when you are missing someone really hard,you can really do crazy stuff!
you tend to behave and act in a way to help stop the desperation. for example,destroying all the stuff that reminds you of that person! oh gosh! how mean......

okay....i don't know how to illustrate that in a better way but i actually went a bit crazy earlier. =p

and now i'm telling myself: come on,the harder you try to forget something,it entrenches in your heart stronger! so......haha...what a waste of time and energy. =)

the lazy blogger in 2nd year law

2007-09-30T10:27:00.000-07:00

finals part 1 started 'silently'.....man it's really heavy.... =)
reading the law has proven itself a challenging task for me.
(the law of tort+ equity and trust + land law + law of evidence = 'happiness')

never give up!!! =)

i'm going to face this new year headstrong!

had 6 hours of lecture today~~and somewhere in the middle i found myself loving what i'm doing, even more! this may be a 'boring' thing to do in the eyes of a 'reasonable man'...but to me, it's the study of relationships, it's about the society, it's about everything!!! it's everything but a bore. =)

thank goodness i'm happie.

a piece of me......

2007-09-23T11:50:00.000-07:00

here's a piece of me
come collect it if you want it
nothing fancy
just a little dreamy.

and there is more
nothing angry
just a little wary.

and there is more
nothing sarcastic
just a little neurotic.

like a wonderful friend once said,
"this girl actually fire guns and swim with sharks"
well,not denying that but......really,i'm harmless.

let me walk into your life,just like the way the drought invites rain.
let me fill up some spaces when you are emptying...
let me be your friend.

for i am on a journey....where my path is where life leads me to...
for i am searching....for a piece of me,which is yet to be.

when the judgement day comes.....

2007-08-29T07:16:00.000-07:00

FINALLY~~~

'the slip' came in and my sleepless nights ended with a blast~!!!!! i passed!!! =D

so here's to the beginning of 2nd year law & surviving the 1st~! =p

i can rest in peace now~~~=)

Malaysiaku Gemilang-learn to respect and to love

2007-08-26T09:19:00.000-07:00

i love my country......
i am proud of my country...

i feel sad for people who do not appreciate the beauty of being a Malaysian and how blessed we are to be born and to live in this beautiful country.

and i feel sorry for those who simply have no clue about the actual difference between a country(negara) and a government(kerajaan).
when one is expressing his hatred or dissatisfaction towards a ministry or an authority,he is criticizing the government.which should be understood as the administrating 'body',this alone can never be a 'country'.

but when one is foolish enough to turn his national anthem into something else,he is humiliating himself and is being disgraceful to his country. i am referring to that person whose crooked version of our national anthem opened up fierce waves of heated arguments and discussions. clearly,he simply does not know what he is singing about. he has no respect for his fellow countrymen and he has taken away his own pride of being a Malaysian.and there he dared to say that he did it out of love for his country. that is by far,the most ridiculous and 'incredible' vindication. (sorry,i think you failed to fool us, boy.and your songs are not funny at all.)

we are happy for you that you are talented and creative,
but at the same time,
you are disgraceful.a sham.

come on kid,it's your national anthem and it represents your country and YOU!
and you want to bask in the 'glory' for making yourself stupid???

to me,he is worse than the bus driver whose reckless driving took away 20 lives.

he is nothing less than a 'terrorist' who attempts to damage the unity that we have been growing in for more than half a decade. he is a fool. those who cheer for him are even more foolish and ignorant.especially those who seized the opportunity to do 'free political campaigning'. you guys have no idea as to what you are talking about!

Wake Up People!

for NEGARAKU is BEAUTIFUL.
look at our country's beauty with your heart,
evaluate it carefully using your head,
read our country's history,
understand how we came through as an independent nation,
appreciate what our predecessors have done,
and carry our name-MALAYSIA,with pride,love and respect.

UNITED WE STAND,
DIVIDED WE FALL.

Happy Birthday Malaysia~~

Bless The Broken Road

2007-08-26T08:59:00.000-07:00
