On The Brighter Side...

I just had a super-duperly perfect meal.
How perfect the meal is isn't judged by the place we dine in or the food we eat. Rather, it's the company we have during the meal.
And I just had the PERFECT company I yearn for.

I know how much you guys prefer not to drive in to Cyberjaya. But I'm sorry,
I seriously would not be able to join in you guys, I'm psychologically-unfit for fun right now. Thank you so much for coming to me! =D
Though the meal was nothing out of ordinary, but that's the exact perfect thing I need for now. With you guys around, every spoonful is just so...mm mmm~~

To my stupig Sis, what do you mean you shouldn't have came by since I'm going home next week?! That's cruel~ =P
*manja* I know you don't mean it... *blushes*
Oh, and thank you all so much for all the chocolates and biscuits and etc [including ma-neh~]. *burps* This is mad. As in I am gonna go mad.
Haha. All these chocolates...Wow...

Thanks for bringing up my mood! This perfect meal is sooooo gonna bring me great distance. *public announcement* I love, love, lurvvvvvvvve my family!

Righty, time to continue battling with the perfect mood I'm in now~ v(^o^)v

Technical Communications Crap.

Gahhhhhhhhh...
Damn pissified right now. The more I think of it, the worse I feel.
I did try not to think about it, but sadly I couldn't anymore.
Had been successful for almost 4 hours anyway, but...*sobz*

Yergh~! Why?! Why is it the same mistake over and over again?
Why is it that I always have to spend SO frigging much time on beautifying the first essay?! Crap~
Why is it that I always have to spend SO frigging much time on thinking the perfect right words for the first paragraph?! Crap~
Why is it that I always leave myself with half hour to do the last essay and not finishing the second essay?! Crap~
Why is it that I always get panicked and regretful only near the end?! Crap~
Why is it that I always always NEVER learn?! Crap~!!!

Grrr...Why the so many whys now? What's the point?
Grrr...So much for aiming for an A for this subject.
Grrr...But it's the only thing I really can opt for on getting an A.
Grrr...How could this happen to me?! What's wrong with my English?!
Grrr...I wrote like I have never written anything substantial in my life before!
Grrr...What's the point now even if my coursework marks are good. Bah!

Elaine...I'm disappointed.

American Idol Final Two?!

So fast?! How long had it been since I last watched television?!
TV oh TV, how I missed you so...

The last episode of American Idol I watched should definitely had been during the midterm break, back in erm, March (?). I think so. And that should had been the time I last watched television too. O.o

[Wait, I did downloaded a couple of episodes. Wait, did I watch them? Doubt so.]

Couldn't remember much of all the contestants as I didn't really spend my time catching up on the competition. But there's this ONE contestant that really caught my attention/heart since audition. I'm surprised at how well he sings considering that he suffers from partial vocal paralysis.
Listen to him talk. [Some may think it's sexy! I think it's just because he's in American Idol.]
However, when he sings....*heart melts*. Hehe. Captured the heart of not only mine, but all. My Dad's too. *winks* His audition was one the best. =D

So, how did I wake from my ignorance? Thanks to Yahoo! being my browser's homepage. It had this line as a heading. Pretty deceiving.


Everyone assumes Syesha will be eliminated from "American Idol".

What would be on your mind if you first glance through that? Surely you would be so close to deducing that it ISN'T Syesha who got voted out right?




[David Archuleta, David Cook, Syesha Mercado]

And they had this photo of the top-3. Not knowingly, I thought it's the bottom-3! I was so close to cursing why David Archuleta is on bottom-3. *blushes* Anyway, my bad. =p

So it is gonna be David vs. David eh. Cool. Wish to watch it. Live, I meant.
Cause by the time I download the episode, I'm sure the whole world had already known who the winner is. =.= Including me, thanks to the internet.

Heard David Cook is good too. Maybe I should watch Cook's performances too. Don't blame me, I hadn't been too addicted nor resourceful for AI7.
YouTube should be a good source, for now. =p




[Song name: Longer. Good choice from the producers. Look at his emo face. =.=]

Quoted from the article, I kinda like these two lines.
Who will snag the title next Wednesday?
One thing is for sure: His name will be David.

Haha. Go Davids! Go Archuleta!
Truly they are Idols already anyway for having reached to where they are now. Just like Chris Daughtry! ^o^ So what he got voted out early?
He's one 'loser' who had truly won it big time. *winks*

God, I love his "Over You". One song I got too addicted two semesters ago. Replaying the track again and again [and again] while I studied for my exams. Haha. Mad? I know. =p

More Wishes.

See. I knew I wouldn't forget. =D
How could I? Hehe. So, here we go with my another birthday wishes to...

My roomie! *winks* Happy Birthday, Li Ping!
I know it's still gonna be another stressful day, but I hope you enjoyed the lil celebration yesternight and the day to come.


[My house had not been so noisy in such long time already.]

And not to forget of course, to Alan. Happy Birthday, in advance! =D
Tomorrow would be his big day to turn 21.
And tomorrow will be an even more stressful to everybody. o.O
Anyhow, I'm sure it'll never get to Alan. Hehe. Right? *winks*

Happy 21, both of you~! Happy studying too~! ><


Yergh
~ The whole post is full of the word. =_=
Oh oh...Yesterday while I was wiping something off the floor, I saw a mosquitoe dropping dead. o.O
I suspect it's the tension in the room that the lil fella couldn't endure.
THAT's for biting me! *nya-haha*
Aiks. Cruelty~ ><

Happy Mother's Day!

Today is the day we celebrate your greatness. A day specially dedicated to you, and only you. Another special day when you have all your children right by your side. Either to do things you love to do, or do nothing at all. Just spending the day with you.

Sorry, for I could not be there with you again this year. Ain't the first year this is happening, but you'll know I always care. And spiritually, I'm always there with you. Just like how you are always here with me.
Sorry, for this year I should have been there. You are so near to me right now. Yet, not too near for me to get to you. But it shall not be accounted on laziness nor ignorance. For it is truly unsound.

Surely I still remember my first year being away. Mother's Day had never felt so different before. On the particular day during which your presence is significantly missed. And the day on which I really wish you don't forget me.
For the past 18 years, you had been in every single day that I spend.
Never too far apart. Never too long apart.
I remember how I've always loved to show you and Daddy off to my friends. Just to have you by my side during functions in school.
Then, there were days when we fought, days when I get mad, and definitely days when I got on your nerves.
Ooo, the pain I had to endure for it. Haha. I still wonder if it hurts you more.

Leaving home had brought me a whole new turn in life. An independent life everybody yearns for so badly. I never understood why, and will I ever?
I remember how I cried at nights before leaving. Counting down to the day I'm gonna have to leave. Counting down to days when I'm gonna have to live without you by my side 24/7. Counting down to days when I'm gonna have to live without being able to run to you for hiding when my day goes wrong.
Counting down to days when your lil girl finally have to grow up.

You bring tears to my eyes everytime you indirectly tell me how much you're gonna miss me when I'm gone. Indirectly telling me how days would be like once I leave. How stuffs we always do together must be done alone now. How you would be looking forward to my holidays, as much as I do.

You never see days like today to be any more special or extraordinary than the others. Yet, we hope there's more we can show to you. Not only on this day, but on any other day as well.
For everyday is Mother's Day whenever you're by our sides. And we hope you know it. Cause we know it, and we feel it deep down every single loving day you give to us.

We love you, Mom. We have always loved you, are still loving you, and will always and forever love you for all we are. =D

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Time Moves Faster Than My Brain.

For the past few days, I can't deny that I had been sitting at my desk facing my notes and doing, well, some questions. But the amount of 'knowledge' I absorbed is truthfully proven to be non-proportional. It's a lil pissifying to realize that you are actually wasting your time and energy.
What happened to my 'studying smart' plan? Bah~ [Do I even have one?]

Everytime I look at the lil clock in my computer, it freaks me out seeing the time. Every hour just passed on like nobody's business. And every hour I wasted, I get a lil more afraid. [Yet, nothing's done. =_= ]
Kel Mynn and I would sometimes remind each other of the time. Inducing more stress upon ourselves. Ahakz, I know it's a bad idea. Can't help it though. It just happened, and I needed to shout, "Oh my frigging God, look at the time!". That. And then followed by another, "Shyt man!".
But believe it or not, sometimes it does help. Helps by just shouting that out. Don't ask me how, but it certainly felt much better than seeing the time and talk to yourself about how snail-like you had been.

I mean, really, the time seriously do move faster than I do now. Without much notice, it's time for lunch, then it's time for dinner, then it's time to sleep.
Another day down, another day closer to my papers.
At these critical times, I always try not to waste even a single minute during meals or etc.
[Note the word 'waste'. Surely it didn't mean I'd skip meals. =) ]
Sad enough though, I waste more time singing along with the songs I play, or even worse catching up on some drama/movie/series, you name it.

Typical, typical, typical. Whatever. Going off for some power-nap ~
Or...maybe not. *sighs* I got my CCNA2 skill-based exam later.
...w-h-a-t-e-v-e-r... see how larh ><
Ende for my rants. =p

The 'Advertisement' Concept.

Thanks, Dad. *sending hugs all the way to Penang* Ahakz.

Daddy was on the phone with me and we talked about the dumb Data Communications and Networking subject I'm currently engaged in completing. God~! You should really see the thickness of the frigging book.
*rolls eyes*
But it's fun, at least it's ALIL more fun to read IF I have all the time in the world to spend. *aiks*
[Reminds me of what Jon asked yesternight. On whether I'm sure that I'm in the right major. >< ]

So, anyway, here's a little concept my Dad was telling me about. I just thought it's good for me to remember as well as sharing it out, hence this post. ;)
What Daddy said really struck me at that moment, and still do.
Right, 'nuff about. Here's what Daddy said.

" Do you know why people remember the products advertised on television, or any media at all, even though the airing time is only for like 30 seconds to a minute?
It's because they are persistent in airing and you could see/hear them over and over again the whole day through. Even if you're never familiar with that thing, you eventually will.
Look at the products whose advertisements are scarce. Would you remember them? You don't even bother to.

That's why the same goes to your studies. Don't force yourself to input everything at one go. You will never remember them. Just briefly scan through your book a first time, then go on with the second time.
If you have time, proceed with the third round. You'll find that you keep learning more stuffs as you go. Better yet, you'd remember them well. There's no point in cramping anyway. "

I will always remember this! Haha. Cause I seriously think it is so true.
I always think that only good ads are effective. Well, apparently not. Just for example, I hated the Chicken Rice Shop theme song. Yet, it's the stupig song that is going through my head everytime somebody says, "What to eat?". Omigosh. Doubtlessly it is the radio stations' fault for playing them all the time. Just like the Hotlink Activ10 ad too. Argh. I'm reminded of Juin Hau now. *faints*

Thanks, Dad, for the advice. No worries, I know what to do. Study smart, right? Am trying my best now. Hopefully it works.
And yes, I would read the Law of Attraction whenever I have the free time. Haha. This is so not me talking about reading it.
But if you say it's good, I'll give it a try. *winks*

A 'science' book eh. Will probably check the online version of it soon.
Shall wait for the book from Daddy. =D


And So...

We passed! Hallelujah~

After hours and days of reading and Googling for answers, we are finally determined enough to put our three tiny heads together and get the final paper done. Seriously. By hook or by crook.

Not that we were never determined enough to get it done before, but we can't lie that the ONLY motivation we had to rush for was the fact that the CCNA 2 final exam will be closed in like an hour or so from now, at 5am. Last chance to get it done. [Unless our lecturer reactivates it, of course.]

It took us pretty long to finally trust our instincts and go with the answers we considered to be correct.
I'm sorta the final hope, the final person who hasn't had the first attempt. So, if I don't pass this attempt, we are gonna be lost kids for sure. Cause we will be suffering with the possibility that we will not graduate from the CCNA Semester 2. Not to mention, wasting another RM760 for retake.

You see, in every CCNA final exam, students are given 2 attempts to try out the final exam questions. If you don't pass the exam even after the second attempt, you will be accounted as failing the subject.
What can you do then? Pay another RM760 and retake the subject, make sure you pass the final exam the next time around. Else, be ready to drop CCNA from your CV.

We had 4 people in the gang. So we came up with this plan. "You scratch my back, I scratch your back." Ahakz. So according to the plan, the first 3 attempts were well, attempted and weren't exactly of what we would say to be successful. Down to one. Pressure was definitely rising.
Took us another few more hours and we finally got the whole set of answers done and over with.
Though we were all really sleepy already, our hearts were still racing fast when we click on the 'Grade Exam' button.

*drum rolls* *chiaaannnng*
PASS!! Ahakz. Though not with flying colours, we still managed to get a lil over the passing mark of 75%. Not bad! Ahakz.
Congrats people~! =P

A Quick One.

Yeap. Due to my laziness and selamba-ness in the study week, here's just a quick, short post to have my birthday wishes out to all my May-babis friends. =D [Spot the 'mistake'. Hehe.]

So, here's to... *drum rolls*

Catherine, who celebrated her birthday yesterday! 4th of May~
Pei Pei, whose birthday is tomorrow! 6th of May~
Both celebrating their 21st in Penang. *jealous* Hehe.
Welcome to young-adulthood, girls. *winks* [I'm new too. =p ]

My Cousin Min, who will be celebrating her birthday on the 7th of May.

Boon Kuok, who is turning 21st as well on the 9th of May.

Happy Birthday people!! Have a sweet sweet day. *winks*

Another two friends will be celebrating their birthdays next week. But wishes to them can wait. I'm sure I wouldn't forget. =D

Right up. Back to studying! Progress had been slow. *sobz*
It really feels alot less than what it used to be, especially back in Alpha.
Oh, God. Help! ><

Vomiting Disgusts Me.

When was the last time I vomited? Hmm...

I can't even recall. It must definitely have been years ago anyway.
All I remember vividly was really just the awfulness of it. The taste that lingers in your mouth even after countless rinsing and gurgling. The uneasiness in your tummy and throat. The tears that just eventually fill up your eyes.

Oh, the torture. It probably would feel better if you can get everything out at one go. But heck NO if you got teased with just one pathetic heave.
So, I did what I had to do. I lifted my finger and slowly dig in. I could feel my wiggly uvula. I remember how I used to stick my finger into my throat to play with it when I was younger. And I mean, really young.
But that wasn't my concern now. No childhood memories could save me from feeling sick right now. Especially when Mommy is not around to pat my back. =(
So, I push my finger a little further, deeper into my throat and *walla*
I can feel my dinner coming upwards. I could taste it in my esophagus
now.
Oh God. Eww eww eww~!

Well, it did help a little though. As pathetic as it was, I threw up just a little more. Little enough to make me continue feeling disgusted and serious uneasiness.
I can't help but wonder how people can actually force themselves into anorexia nervosa with this. Food actually tasted/smelt so much more worse on its way up than down. Whoever in the right mind would definitely realize this heavenly fact. Not only is it not fun, it is so very dangerous as well. I sure heard alot of stories about the deadliness of this disease.

I hate vomit! I refuse to believe it could help you lose any weight by throwing up. It's a dumb idea. Might as well you don't eat. =_=
Not fun! Don't laugh!
I hate to be sick! =(

Hello, Summer.

Anyone up for a summer vacation? I know I am.
Harapan tinggal haparan...
Almost knocked out big time yesternight with my sleepiness. But I managed to stay up like a zombie till quite-early-today's-morning. What an achievement. =.=

And~ It's Labour Day today! Hail all hardworking people!
Hail Daddy for working practically all his life for everything we have today, who is still working. =(
Hail Mommy for working 24/7. C'mon, who actually works harder than my mom [and your moms of course]?
Hail Sis for working hard, and spends even harder. Same to you, Bro. *bluek~*
And lastly, hail ME! For not working hard and smart.
And paling not leastly, hail all you working people out there.
Not only those with a job and earning some cash, but also ALL who are actually getting their arses off their comfort zone and actually do something useful.

Here's to the new month. With new hopes, new stress and new corrupted-minds. I meant, knowledgeable minds. =D Study people, studyyyyyyyyyy.
Oh, God. I'm so lazy.

Time to start visiting my beloved library. [I miss Malacca's.]
Time to start spending more time with my beloved nerdy-self. *aiks* O.o
Happy studying, Multimedians ~ v(^.^)v
