Shop Till I Drop.

And dropped, I did not. But I did burn a big hole in my wallet though.
Bread for the rest of the month~ Hahaha.

Wow. It's been so long since we last go out like this. It's madness. And today, madness it was. We were actually in [just] One Utama for more than 12 hours! o.O

Starting our journey somewhere past noon, we luckily avoided a car accident thanks to Soon Ming and his AVS system. Thank God Kel Mynn didn't fly straight forward to the front!
Haha. No worries people, Soon Ming is actually better than L in braking. *phew*
Still thanking God that we weren't in Juin Hau's car.

Been a long day. Done lotsa stuff.
Shopping [for food and clothes and stuffs], reptile visiting, arcading, movie, bowling and pool.
This is one 'historical' shopping adventure I ever had! Would you ever believe it that we went to visit some reptile exhibition thingy in 1U?!
Somehow we kinda got cheated by the cute [supposedly] smallest monkey in the world, Rainbow which actually kinda 'stole' my ice-cream. *sobz*
Well, it was adorable. So, RM5 was *poof*. 'Nuff said.

And even more historical is my performance during the bowling session. =.=
Goodness! I am too embarrassed to reveal to you my cuci longkang skill. I have never played so frigging badly before. Haha. Though, not to say I'm good. =p Blame it on the bowling ball! I mean, seriously.
[Catherine, don't ever scare me like that ever, ever again!]

Well, at least I got something for myself today after spending like a fortune. Haha. Man, I'm exaggerative.
But hell yeah, each of us spent almost RM100 each!
Where the money goes, I don't even know.
The boys ate nonstop, that I know. And the girls got something for themselves. How nice~ Hehe.

Ah...This is great. The day had been long and care-free [almost].
We should do this again sometime soon. When my wallet is healed.

Note to self: No BR tomorrow. *sobz*

Happy Weekend. Happy Birthday.

What a long, long week again with long, long hours of classes.
[Yay for me, I'm attending classes again~]
Another yay for me, I screwed up two midterm papers too.
All in a week. Right after midterm break. *sighs*

Let's have a happy weekend~ *winks* Keep planning, Elaine! Keep thinking!


Message of the day:
It's after midnight already. ^^
To the twins, Rashad and Razin. Happy 21st birthday!!

Donkeey, you're finally 21~!!
And no, you're no man yet. It is not proven through your moustache or beard or even a 'manly' voice. =.=
Those attributes [if you're 'lucky'], you might even find it in a female too. *rofl*
Maybe soon lar har, soon that I'll regard you as a 'man'. Keep growing. Hehe. =p

Law Out-of-Order.

So long to my long-awaited and short-lived midterm break.
Hello to my mile-long notes and mountain-high stress.

Having not checked my mail for so long, I'm finally reading my 100+ forwarded e-mails on my Hotmail account. *spam* Good God, I think my eyes are gonna bulge out already. O.o
But reading these mails can be quite entertaining, sometimes.
Just like this one. It got me chuckling alright.
[And also one which I just found on Gary's blog that have got me drop in awe some time ago.]
It's surely one simple thing to break the dullness, right before starting the week again tomorrow. *winks*

It's probably dumb. But it's definitely something to get someone going at times, with just a simple laughter.
Afterall, laughter's the best medicine. Right? *winks*

Tau Fu Fah.

People used to say that if you eat alot of tau fu fah (soya bean curd), your skin will grow to be as what the texture of the tau fu fah is. Eventually.
Smooth and fair.

I love tau fu fah. No doubt. Love it alot indeed. Especially the ones made by Justin's dad. Made from organic beans. Mm mmm. *drools*
But look at my tau fu fah~

Omigosh! Haha. Is this what my skin gonna look like real soon?!

Self-Describing.

Was actually filling in the application form for the Orientation Committee recruitment when I was struck by this one question.
Now this is what I call a c-h-a-l-l-e-n-g-e. *sweatness*

I think from the title of the blog itself you should have a hint or two on what kinda question it is.
You know, I've avoided this question practically all my life. I mean, how could I be describing MYself?! In FIVE words?! What could the expected answer be?!

Even when I fail to avoid the question, my answers are normally, basically, most definitely more prone to the negative side. It ain't because I can't think of anything nice to say about myself [though maybe not alot]. I guess it's just more for the reason that I'm not confident enough to praise myself like that.
I'm vain, yes. But THAT vain?! Naw, I don't think I can be for real. For laugh, maybe.

So, how should I fill in that part?
I can only think of ONE. 'Perfectionist'.
Why? Simple, cause I can be a real annoyance at times wanting stuffs to be p-e-r-f-e-c-t. =p
See what I mean now? *sigh*

Lost in the dark [not literally], I actually asked Gan to describe me. Haha, I don't know why but I kinda thought he could give me answers without much explaining for me to do (?).
Well, even he could not give me 5. *sobs*

How now, brown cow?
Hantam je lar. *bluek*

Ah Long Pte. Ltd.

At first, I was quite reluctant to pay RM10 to watch this movie in the cinema. I had preferred to watch something erm, action-filled or horror. Sad to say, I thought it was dumb to watch some local movies in the cinema.
[Based fully on past experiences.]

But the moment the show started, I couldn't stop laughing. I laughed and I laughed till the show actually ended. Yeah, I'm surprised too.
I guess this is the first movie I watched that actually had me laughing the way I did. O.o

The jokes were kinda typical and it was really what they said that made us laughed. Probably it is only what the Sing-Ma people understand. May be lame, but what-the-hell. =p
The best part was when the Mother asks the Ah Long daughter to learn from Man U. Watch the movie and you'll know. I don't wanna be the spoiler. =p

Don't forget to catch this movie IN THE CINEMA. Yeah, I am saying it!
I can assure you that you would probably roll-on-the-floor-laughing as well.
[Only if you understand Chinese, of course. Or rather Malaysian-Chinese.]

Guess my RM10 was truly worthwhile afterall. *bluek*

Monkey Visit.

Woke up at 7 today and joined my Sis to the Monkey Beach. We had to take a boat from somewhere in Teluk Bahang. Or else, we can even hike our way there, which is of course what we're not doing today. =p
Before reaching to the Monkey place, we were brought to the Pantai Kerachut to check out some turtles.

See the trail? The one that looks like a train track. Apparently, it was left by the momma turtle the night before when it goes on shore to lay its eggs.

These baby turtles hatched the night before. They are oh-so-adorable! Wish I can bring them home. ^^
On the way, we actually saw some rocks that resemble a crocodile's head and a turtle. Amazing~ It actually looks more real than the 'Dayang Bunting' Island in Langkawi.
Haha. I'm serious. Too bad the boat was speeding pretty fast, I can't get a good photo of it.

Monkey Beach seems to be just like any other beaches in Penang. Haha. What's so special about it? I don't know either. Haha, besides the fact that you need to take a boat there.
Sadly, the water there is not clean at all. *sighs* And you actually can see sampah everywhere. *double sigh*

So, why am I so excited to blog? Hehe. Well, it's for the fact that I jet-skiied for the first time! And it is so frigging fun, I can't wait for my next ride!
At first, I was really afraid. Not knowing how to maneuver it and etc. But it turned out to be really easy to handle and fun, fun, fun! I didn't even want to stop!
When the sea gets wavy, it really is so fun having the jet-ski bumping its way around, but it was a real headache when you go on high speed then. Even more, fearing that you would just bumped off your seat! Hehe. Nay, we're safe. ^^

We actually rode on the 'banana boat' as well. Quite disappointingly, we didn't exactly had a great fall. Instead of falling into the deep sea out there, we were actually dropped off near the shore where the ground is just waist-length away! =.= I mean, hello?!
I miss the ride we had in Langkawi. Haha, though it was quite painful. *bluek*

Right after the water sports, we were fed with BBQ food. All we had to do was to pay RM30, and they would prepare and BBQ the food for us.
But I still think it would be nicer if we barbecued the food ourselves.

Worst part of it all was that it seriously felt like you're eating in a dumpster. I'm serious! There are so frigging MANY flies all around!! Tee-ewww~!!
Apparently, the durian trees are flowering and hence the thousands of flies around in the island. *argh* Disgustment.

Well, overall, I still had great fun! Love jet-skiing!
I L-O-V-E P-E-N-A-N-G!! Haha~

Doctor's Day Out.

The first place I visited when I am back in Penang is the clinic! Tejani Medical Centre. *sobs*
Is this how it's gonna be? *sighs*

My poor tummy was attacked again today. I don't even know why. Maybe it's the food I eat. But hey! At least I ate. Daym. Shouldn't have taken lunch (?).
... Guess not though.
Alright, I'm losing myself.

It's been so long since I last went to the doctor's. And almost everytime, I go for the same reason. Boredom.
What the heck is wrong with you, tummy? Would you KINDLY stop it already?!
I was cringing myself since afternoon, and I am still not able to stand up straight. Poor Elaine.

This is the first time I see this Doc. She was really nice. Makes me feel really comfortable talking to her. One of the reasons why I like this centre. ;)
First, I told her of my stomach problem. Then, the thingy on my waist. And lastly, about the stupig fall I had during my Langkawi trip before.
Haha. I was so embarassed. It was like as if I hadn't been to the doctor's for eons.
Well, actually yeah. But still!!! *blushes*
Thanks for not making me feel awkward asking you all that stupid questions on health problems, Doc. Haha.
But she told me one sad news. I will not be allowed to eat hot and spicy food that often anymore. Only occasionally. Sadd~~ =(

Anyway, got my medicine now. I'd better get well by tomorrow. Can't wait to join my Sis to the Monkey Beach. In Teluk Bahang, it seems. Never heard of it before, so I seriously can't wait to check it out tomorrow!

I'll be good, Doc. I promise. *grins like a nerd*

'You Can Let Go'

I could see it in your eyes
Broken windows, fallen skies
Baby, baby what you hiding from
Light that followed you around
Lately no where to be found
Don't you know that I'm your place to run

You been holding on so long
Trying to make believe that nothing's wrong
Not letting it show
There ain't nothing you can do
To make me turn away from you
I need you to know
That you can let go

Shifted through shattered dreams
Living in the in between
Baby, baby it's gonna be alright
(You can let go)
When you're lost, let down, disappoint
And jerked around in this cold, cold world
I will always be by your side

You been holding on so long
Trying to make believe that nothing's wrong
Not letting it show
There ain't nothing you can do
To make me turn away from you
I need you to know
That you can let go

Don't be afraid when you're falling apart
Don't hesitate, I'll be right where you are
Open your eyes, there's a crack in the dark

You never let me see you cry
You locked it somewhere deep inside
Baby, baby let me hold you tight
Make it alright

Baby, baby gonna be alright
Cause I'm by your side
When the whole world turns against you
(Not letting it show)
(I won't turn against you)
Baby, baby gonna be alright
Cause I'm by your side
When the whole world turns against you
(I won't turn against you)
You can let go

You been holding on so long
Trying to make believe that nothing's wrong
Not letting it show
(You can let go)
There ain't nothing you can do
To make me turn away from you
I need you to know

Love, love, love this song!
Thanks for bringing up my mood EVERYTIME! =D

The End of My 'Misery'.

Hooray! And I survived it!
The dumb tests are seriously taking its toll on me. The stress, the insufficient time to take-my-own-sweet-time to focus, etc.
I seriously thought I would have given up alot of times along the way. I have even considered taking supplementaries.
Thanks, Wei Jie, for all the 'short-notes' that have basically just saved my life.

Control Theory on Tuesday and Data Communications & Networking on Wednesday. Wow. *sobs*
I practically camped inside the library the whole two days, except the one hour here and there to get some stuffs done.

The Control Theory test paper was moderately hard. And I guess I wasn't as stressed for this paper, probably because I copied the tutorials the weekend before. [Copying rawks! Hehe.]
I just crapped my whole way through the test, not even knowing if what I wrote is right or wrong. But then again, isn't that what I always do? =p
Sorry to say, I was pretty glad and relieved when I came out of the exam hall finding that many people don't know how to do the same questions. ^^
I'm bad, I know. *bluek*

The Data Comm paper was the killer one for me. Why? Because I still have not gone through the chapters and I am so so tired.
I fell asleep real early the night before and I automatically woke up at 6am. I was very awake at first and was studying on the living room sofa. After 30 minutes (I think), I kept falling asleep again. Oh God!! I could not open my eyes!!
This is how my eyes were. >>> =.=
Solution? Go jogging!! Hehe. Yeah, it helped. Alot indeed. =D

Funny story to tell about this test was the way Dr Ahmed walked damn fast towards me!
Almost 10 minutes to the end of the test, I had closed my answer sheet, placing it nicely on the table [in a way like it was ready to be passed up] and leaned on my chair quite comfortably.
What was I doing? I was actually really, really sleepy and AM squeezing my poor brainy for the 'functions of the TCP/IP layers'.
Dr Ahmed came and started to flipped my answer-sheets and asked whether the paper was very difficult and if I have finished it.
My answer? "Erm, yeah, I dunno, I think."
Haha. I was in shock ok!

I was so scared when he was flipping my answer-sheet. Part of me was really afraid that he would just take my answer-sheet away.
Though I will not be adding/modifying anything anymore [as I don't know what other nonsense I can crap further] but don't take my paper away yet!! =(
Anyway, he didn't take it away, instead he asked me to change my answers. The 'answer' I have given [a.k.a. nonsense] apparently was "almost correct but not what is asked for".
Huh?! Precisely! Haha.

Well, I'm just glad that it's over. Glad that I survived it. Glad that it's not as bad as I thought it would be.
GLAD, GLAD, GLAD.
If it hadn't been for the two tests-marathon, I would have been enjoying fooling around in the event now.
But there I am, getting all freaked out and having my focus so divided all the time.
Well, whatever and however it is, I'm still glad I got over it, and I shall enjoy my final moments of the event! And I DID enjoy the first day~ ^^

Next up~
My one whole blog entry for C.A.R.E. Fair 2008. *winks*

Shocking Results.

Whoa! Who would have expected?!

Had been on catching up with the news of the polling results since 8pm. And the results are well unexpectedly shocking, I'd say.
Who would have thought Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon would lose his seat?! [Er, maybe some of you do, but not me. =p ]
I don't know exactly what to feel. I'm pretty enthusiasted about the result and all. But seriously, I have never expected something like this.
Not only is Penang lost to the opposition, many other states are also facing critical result moments now.

I'm seriously wondering who our new Chief Minister would be anyway. What would the 'new' Penang be? Should I be happy or worried?
Many seem to be excited about it. Part of me does too. Hehe.
But whatever it is, let's just pray for the best for the nation and us, Penangites. *winks*


Message of the day:
Happy 21st Birthday, Yamunah!!!
So sorry I could not attend your party. Really wished to be there, but the timing just ain't the best for me. *sobs* Missed the warmth of your family though.
Well, I guess I'd see you in Penang. Will definitely celebrate again with you, just as promised!
Have a great birthday and may God bless you, sweet child~

Voting Day.

*ahem* After 5 years, it's that day again. Vote for the future of your nation. Make the right choice.

Right...Easy said, eh? How would anyone know if they are voting for the right fella when:

• 95% of the people I know whom are voting do not know the representatives in the area that they are voting for
• 90% of the people I know whom are voting do not exactly care about who and who they are voting for, as long as they crossed the right party logo
• 30% of the people I know who should be voting have yet to register themselves
• 99% of the people I know just wanna get over it, fast!

Disclaimer: The figures may not be exact, but hey! You can't deny that it's true. =p

I am 21, and I don't get to vote.
Reason? I could not register myself because I just turned 21 for like, 2 months.
I'm not even sure myself if I'm exactly excited about deciding the next Malaysian government. Sometimes, I even wonder if my ONE vote matters at all.
But my parents had always assured me that it is a 'yes', because if everyone were to have thought the same way I do, then the nation would be screwed. Pardon my language. =p

Well, anyway, today is gonna be over soon enough anyway.
You've casted your vote, you wait for the result. Nobody cared, so stop complaining!


p/s: Oooo, Happy International Women's Day! Hail the women out there! Hail me! *bluek*

Race Against Time.

I actually don't really have the time for this entry.
But I think I really need it, really need to rant alil. Though I still think I have ranted alot lately that I am quite sick with myself indeed.
Thanks for all the ears. ;)

My week has gone by so fast, Monday still felt like yesterday.

Monday
Monday itself almost killed me.
Lab session for Microelectronics truly scared the hell outta me today. At first, I had seriously prepared to just get into the lab without doing my hand-analysis exercise and *explode*. Karen said that we shall 'drown' together-gether.
But then, quite last minute, Karen came to me during lunch and told me she's got 'source'. There we were then, gobbled down our whole plate of rice and started to copy the whole answer-sheet. We had like 20 minutes to copy the whole damn thing, or less.
I had no time to think or understand the answers at all! That's when I thought to myself that I am gonna be so dead if the lecturer asks anything.

Big mouth! The answers we copied were sorta insufficient! Better yet, we don't even know what went wrong. Miraculously, we still got 4 out of 5 marks for that session. *phew*
Thanks to pretending-to-know-something-and-admitting-to-the-wrong-answers.
Abit lucky arh today. Abit ny larh. Lucky thing the lecturer was nice.

Thanks to everybody who helped me so much in lab today! You know who you are. *winks*


Tuesday
So Tuesday came. And it's time to finally finalize all promotional items and get them printed etc.
Thanks Juin Hau for sending me all the way to Bangi just for this, and sending me there again the next day for pickup.
But I still want to squish you till you *pop*. So stop pissing me! *bluek*

I had not been feeling well the whole day actually. My stomach had been struck by 'tornadoes'. I think I have wind inside my poor tummy and whole day I can feel it churning inside me. =( I wish my Mommy is here. =p


Wednesday
Just another hectic day in the week. I've been to the STAD for so many times already, and yet everytime Mr. Omar is just too busy. I couldn't be sitting around and waste my time. At last, I gave up and seriously sat there and waited for my turn.
I was so pissed waiting for almost an hour, my precious class hour. And some idiots just had to jump queue. *chis* Even greater, things does not really go the way I wanted or hoped to be.
Straight after that, I rushed my way to Bangi again. I got scared the shyt outta me again when I find that I have misplaced my receipt. *sob*
Thank God I finally found it, inside my dumb bag. *sob*

At night, I had planned to skip dinner as my stomach was not feeling well again. [Just the minor wind problem.] Also to catch some rest a.k.a. sleep.
But my roomie had to tempt me with sushi. *sobs* You hit me right at the spot. *sobs*
Right after dinner, we went to the Sci-Fi night. Through the night, I keep imagining next week. I was really scared, freaked out. =(


Thursday
Shyt! I didn't quite realize it was already Thursday and was 'happily' thinking it was only Wednesday.
I think I'm in serious need for serious sleep! It's been days since I last had a good night sleep. I was practically one walking zombie by the end of the day. I still have a lot of things to do. How now?!

But I could not hold it no more, so I slipped off to catch some sleep. Thank God my friends called me up at 10, else I wouldn't have had woken up.
Blurry and quite blindly, I changed and followed the rest to McDonald's.
Thanks alot for ALL the fries. Though I may have loved fries when I'm in this condition, I still think I was overdosed!

=) One more time, don't worry about me k. I am fine. I will be. I have to be. *winks*


Friday
Great! It is today! *sigh*
Apparently, I was a little stressed up again in the afternoon and there they go 'feeding' me with loads of food till I'm so bloated and wanting to explode. O.o
Problem was, I was so tired just now that I actually fell asleep till quite late. When I woke up, things are not pretty at all. At all! *argh* Stomach pain. *sobs*

Don't I just love Friday? It's only 4 days away from my tests and I have yet to seriously touched my notes. Ain't I doomed or what?

I can feel myself breaking down already, but I am not letting it happen. I can't.
How much longer can I hold myself up? That's the question I wonder quite constantly now. Any answer?

Hope. Hopeful. Hopefully.

I have been hopeful for almost my entire life. I hope for this, I hope for that. It's almost as if it is never-ending.
Sometimes, I think I'm asking so much that the God is pretty much tired with me already. Probably He's looking down and say,

"Oh, hie. It's you again. How may I help you again?"

[Alright, it was a lame thing for me to say. So, let's not get too literal on that ok? =p ]

Today, I have been especially hopeful, as I will be for the next two weeks to come. Then, quite suddenly this question pops in my mind,

"How far can hope really bring me?"

And so, I started thinking. I don't even know why I got on to that topic.
I'm not troubled, I'm not even discouraged for that matter [yet?]. I'm just disoriented for a second there, I guess.
Whatever the reason was, I am not desperate to know. It is just something random that somehow got its way to my mind.

Then looking back on my life, it's amazing how far this hope-thing has got me. At the very least, I am where I am right now. It probably ain't the best, but this is what made me who I am.
Sometimes situations may not go my wanted ways, but I've been lucky to have the people around me. I'm proud of myself and of them, for helping me pull through almost everytime. Yes, almost. Hehe.
Hopefully, we'll pull through once again in success this time. ^^

I'm believing in hope. I'll always remain hopeful. And hopefully, life will continue to blossom the way it should be. *cheers*
