The love of my life

I was wondering what it was that my boo so badly wanted to see on his blog. So i made it a point i would look at it by hook or by crook today. What he wrote really rouched my heart and confirm my decision of spending the rest of my life with him. It brought tears to my eyes and finally for once i thought what he wrote was pretty romantic. His declaration of love to me hehe. I'm convinced that he is the one God gave me to grow old with. Danny, i love you!

The pictures i owe my boo...

Sorry i took so long dear and thanks for being patient with me. Love you!

My new room

Chris, Sarah, me and the guys at tennis promo

it's getting boring

I do believe my blog is getting a bit too boring isn't it? i have not been posting pictures to make them nice. i think i'll start loading pictures from my camera today. Have to find time already. If not other ppl one nicer than mine! hehe Kiasu-ism.

anyways, i figured i won't be able to find the life cycle of the freshwater prawns online. So i think i'll create my own. hehe based on the little info i have la.will post it on once i get it done. it's a combination of pictures from different sites because one site has it and the other hasn't. You know that kinda thing.

will have to accompany Chris to the dentist later. She got her molar pulled out. She said she spent 2 hours at the dentist's and a total of RM350 to pull out the bad tooth. A lot of money huh but think abt the time she suffered in there. 1 whole hour. This is freakish compared to Sarah who paid an extra RM100 to pull hers out in 12 minutes. So which one would u opt for? less time, more money or more time, less money? Gtg!

Computer woes Part 2 and other stuff

Really dunno what on earth is wrong with my computer. Has been going crazy for the past 2 days and it shows no sign of getting better. For no reason it just start copying stiff from God know where and starts pasting in on my word document. Now I’m scanning for virus in my computer to see if anything is wrong with it. Also defragmenting to see if it helps. If you read this particular blog of mine and you do know what’s wrong , I could use some input.

Yesterday was club promo day. We spent our day shouting our hearts out so ppl would join the club. So naturally we were promoting the tennis club and all of us were having a lot of fun. Guess what we were so noisy that even the our neighbouring club decided to shout for us hehe. This guy even got members for us. I mean, that’s pretty cool. And he’s was really nice to have done that for us. So that was that.

Went shopping today to get some other stuff for the house. Got myself a mirror and one of those thingys you stick on the wall so u can hang stuff on it. Got myself a skirt too. Danny always wanted me to wear one one those things. He said it would look really nice on me but I didn’t believe him. This time Sarah shoved me into the changing room and ask me to show her how it looks on me before I got out. So ok…what the heck right? I myself haven’t seen that on me. So I put it on and wow, I mean I’m not praising myself or anything but it does look cool on me. And so I bought it. I hope he’ll happy when he sees me in it. Ya my fiancé is a good fashion consultant…most of the time la 

Another week over and another to come. Have to brace myself really. A lot of things to do but so little time. I miss my fiancé so much. Dunno when will I be able to see him again. I hope soon. Adieu!

French

Bonjour!

I took French as my complimentary subject this semester. this was because of a few reasons. 1) i had to; it's complusory, 2)it was the only "takeable" subject (ok, ok...it's also interesting, 3) my friends are taking that subject too and last but not least 5) the lecturer is SOOOO cute! His name is Rodolphe Point (pronounced Rudolf no, Rodolf Pua). Handsome young guy with dark brown hair.

So we learnt quite a lot of things for the past 2 lessons. First was on the country itself. The population, national anthem, national flag and guess what's the national animal? The ROOSTER!!! heheh Found that quite funny. But jokes aside, French is a beautiful language. We use quite a few words of it in the English speaking world.

Just found out these few things:
Citroen is Not chi tron / si tron / megatron - it's si tro in
Peugeot is Not piu giot / peu jo / pang jio - it's po jo
and Renault is well... Renault hehe

Guess that's all for now...stay tuned for the next class where we can learn how to differentiate a "male" chair from a "female" chair!

Adieu!

That's It!

I am done with identifying my prawn...I'm not going to do it anymore. And am not bothered also. Cannot identify also ask people to identify. Then dunno hilang go where. Mty lecturer will be doing the David Copperfield act for the next 2 weeks and leaving me and my friend behind fending for ourselves! ALONE!!! how can?????

Hard you know! not only 1 prawn or 1 fish. So many one! Gila ka? nevermind. On top of that still must correct my proposal which he coloured red. Then must some more prepare presentation. Then everything must be prepared by next week and presentation on 10th of August! Then my lecturer come back when? 1st of August ar!!! how? how?

Forget it. this is it. Period. I'm just going to identify til the family and leave the rest to God. Amen.

The Lun Bawang and beautiful things

I had the privilege of spending the past 2 days with Sarah’s extended family. The family arrived on Saturday afternoon from Lawas. About 10-15 of them. I lost count. So far I have yet to say anything to them besides the word hello.

They are from the Lun Bawang clan. A minority in Sarawak itself. The people of this clan are big boned. The men are involved in the timber industry whereas the women stay home and play the full role as housewives (unlike a lot of women from cities). Their cuisine, judging from the two days living and EATING with them, is what I would consider simple. So far I’ve tasted their barbequed wild boar and their bitter (broth with vege. It has a bitter after taste. I think that’s how it got the name).


They speak a language which I do not understand so I can’t say much about that.

Today I managed to get a glimpse of then gathering together with the rest of the Lun Bawang people from Kuching. Their way of worship was very similar to ours except for the language of course. They sang “Old Rugged Cross” in their own language. That’s one of Pastor Isaac’s favourite songs hehe

Also for the past few days, I have been focusing on what’s beautiful in life. Check out the pictures...

A baby's innocent stare...

A child's smile...

And and elderly man's laughter :-)

WHEW!!!!

My goodness. I'm just too tired. Just finished correcting the first part of my introduction to my proposal that my lecturer returned me yesterday. Good Lord! You should have seen the paper...or maybe u shoudn't. Cause i wouldn't have let u..hehe. Too malu la! The paper cannot see any white wan...my lecturer practically "coloured" it in RED ink!

So today i correct it la...Just finished the first part only :-((.He la...change my title last minute. I thought something was wrong with my title. It was too general. "Crustacean" SOOO many you know. So i find la all the things realted to crustaceans. Last last he tell me he wanna focus on one species. Tell me la earlier. I no need to work like mad bah. JAHITNYA!!!

I miss my darling so much. I wish he was here. Then he can help me. He's always good at finding stuff on the net bah. If not also give me a shoulder massage. My shouders cramp already. Whole day sit down like that *sob*sob*

Never mind la... have to finish the race...GAMBATE!!!!!!

FYP

Went to my University libary today thinking i could find some info i needed for my FYP. For those of you who still do not know what i'm doing for my final year project, my title is - The biology, ecology and feeding habits of ornamental crustceans. i'm also studying the water quality of Sungai Sarawak Kiri and culturing Macrobrachium (lobsters).

Anyways, I went into the library and i couldn't find anything on that so thank God i've already done my research back in Penang. Also luckily got internet. If not, dunno how di! Just finished typing out what my lecturer found missing from the proposal i submitted to him this afternoon so i hope i don't lack anything anymore...which i doubt so la. GTG! got CSI to catch.

PS: still staying in sarah's house. Apartment still no electricity. Moved half my stuff there already though :-)

“Songs we can(NOT) sing/play during a wedding”

Was talking to Sarah today and I thought this was interesting. She started it andit got the both of us laughing. Thus the title of this time’s blog “Songs we can(NOT) sing/play during a wedding”

1) Killing me softly
2) Tragedy - Bee Gees
3) Recycle
4) Please release me - Elvis Presley
5) Tennessee Waltz
6) I don’t want to talk about it
7) Exhale (shoop!shoop!) – Whitney Houston
8) Yours until tomorrow
9) Everybody’s somebody’s fool

Got better ones? Add them in!

Day of madness...as always :-)

Woke up at 6.30 this morning. This was because the sun rises earlier on this side of the country and not because I wasn’t sleepy anymore. We went straight for class without breakfast because we were already late. When Sarah and I reached class there were only 4 other classmates waiting there. Where were they I don’t know…probably still holidaying hehe. So the lecturer came along a little later and conveniently pasted a note outside the classroom saying the first class will start Wednesday. So all of us went for our first breakfast in campus. The food still ok and still the same.

After breakfast Sarah and I went to register ourselves at the faculty, Chris went for class and Grace went to get a car sticker for her new car. When we reached the faculty the line that was already there could reach Mars and guess what? It was lengthening! So the both of us thought forget it. We’ll go see our mentors and supervisors first.

I went to see Dr. Lee whom I also call my Daddy. Ya he’s my father figure when my dad’s not there. He takes care of me and is also very concerned about his mentees. I took my results from him. Turns out I did better this sem and got into the Dean’s list. Been really trying hard to get into the list since the first sem in first year. This is my first time so is really something for me. We discussed a bit about my Final Year Project (FYP) and then we went over to Sarah’s daddy’s place to check out Sarah’s results.

We settled our stuff in campus and then we went over to the college. I finally got my room in the furthest block and the toppest floor. But that didn’t matter. I’m glad I could get a room to myself this time and the apartment is new. My room faces a lot of green so that’s good too. Sarah and Chris are also in the same apartment.

By this time we found out that Chris’s grandma had passed away at 12pm. So we quickly settled everything at the hostel and went straight back to Sarah’s house. Chris started packing while Sarah and I rushed back to campus on a last minute notice about a meeting with our program head after which we rushed back to fetch Chris to the airport. We went through a little something to get the last minute tickets but we got it all settled fast with God’s grace.

We came back to Sarah’s house and had dinner and now I’m blogging hehe.

Registration Day

Today is the day after I reached Kuching. Couldn’t get to register yesterday so we went to register today. We reached new campus at 1pm after church today. The new campus looked pretty good and so did the new apartments. Everything was new, to cupboards and everything. A new coat of paint, the glass windows and doors and the kitchen cabinet gave the place a fresh look.

So my friends and i went in to the place where we thought we could register ourselves. But when we got there we couldn’t even get to the registration desk. To get there we had to cuddle up instead of line up. So imagine. At 1pm, there were ppl crowding together bodies touching each other (sweaty bodies for that fact), the whole college wanting to register themselves (that’s 5 mini colleges with another 5 blocks, each of them) but only 4 attendants at the registration desk…what do we have? HAVOC!

So we wanted to skip all that. We went to play tennis and copy time tables. After that we went to look for complementary subjects that we could take. Not many. After that we went back to try and register. We managed to get to the desk. Sarah got her room and Christine and I got ours. But a problem cropped up. We had a hunch that the attendant at the desk had simply gave us a room so we are going to try again tomorrow morning.

Whew!!! Tiring! And I’m seriously tired. Need to poop! Byes!

My last day of the hols

Woke up this morning really tired from yesterday. Today's plan was to take Danny to
AIA to get the insurance settled. So we had breakfast at a fairly good Malay stall somewhere along Jalan Irrawadi (got lots of flies though) and went straight to the office.

Danny couldn't climb the stairs up to the office so i went up. Pressed the number and it read 7011. I glanced at the number screen...no 7011. Not even anywhere near 7000. The number on the screen started with a 2. This is it! This is the end of me. 5000 ppl before me! Then i thought...can't be...

Waited for 20 mins and then ting! MY turn!!! Good. The lady gave me number to the insurance agent danny was looking for. I went back to the car, tried to give a call but had a malay lady speaking to me in a melodic voice. You know what that means.

So i went up again for another 20 mins...still no ting! I got impatient so i went to an empty desk where a nice personel attended to me. She gave me another number; apparently the number of the place the agent worked at. OK. So i gave it a try. We got through to the person! So that's settled.

We went for a movie after that and we watched Initial D. Good movie. I love the fast cars. Jay Chou was as good looking as ever. The movie was comical judging from the laughter from the crowd. Story line is not too bad also. It's worth a watch if you love fast cars.

After the show i dropped Danny back to his house and drove back to mine. Had a quick dinner, did some last minute packing, talked to my dad and bro for a while and i was off again to see my cousin who came back from US.

Boy was it good to see him. We had a long chat about what happened for the past one and a half yrs since we last saw each other. He's on and off with his current gf, enjoying his life and well... he's good. So many things going on in his life since he went to Pennsylvania. Now he's in New Jersey working as an analyst. Miss him a lot cause i hardly get to see him.

Now i'm back in Danny's house again. It's my last night with him. Will miss him so much when i go back. No one to give me road directions anymore. Must ki ki ku ki ki hehehe. So wish i do not have to go but it's my final year so what the heck. I'll finish my race *smiles*

Because i love him

I did a few things today. Woke up at 10 something this morn in my boo's house. This is because of the things i had to do the day before. I went down for breakfast. Had a bit of curry mee (only the beehoon of the beehoon mee) and nasi lemak. After that i drove home to help my mom with a few things which again went unappreciated and unnoticed. Then i drove back again to my boo's house to take him to the Dr.'s. He had a sprain the day before while walking back to his college during lunch break. He stepped into a hole on uneven road. So i took him to Tanjung Medical Centre to get an x-ray. After that i took him back to his panel Dr.'s to get his receipt chopped so that he can be waived off expenses. The Dr in that clinic told him that there was a possible fracture so he had to go to a hospital.

So i took him to his panel hospital, Loh Guan Lye Specialist Centre. The Dr. gave him some painkillers and a air cast. He siad there was no fracture but a torn ligamen. The bill came up to RM400 including the x-ray he took from Tanjung. But that didn't matter. As long as we know he's alright. The Dr. asked if my boo was covered by insurance. My boo hadn't been in contact with his agent for a long time.

So i took him back to AIA to check out his problem. By that time it was already 5.30pm. The office was already closed so we went back hometo his house. I dropped him there and rested for 20 minutes while having dinner.

Then i drove back to take my bath, change from my lenses to my glasses and went straight back to his house.Spent quite some time in the bathroom just to let the hot water trickle down my body. It helped me relax for a while.

When i reached my boo's house, i helped him clean up cause the last bath he had was this morning so he didn't smell that good. I put back his cast for him and now i'm sitting on the bed writing this blog.

My boo was really appologetic but i kept saying it's ok. If i love him enough i can do this for him. Help him up when he falls and give him a shoulder to lean on. My experience living with my best friend, Sarah has taught me a lot of things. LOVE is one of them.

My only worry now is when i go back. Who's gonna take care of him?

Il Divo

My boo just finished downloading the album for me. I think these people have really strong vocals. Their version of the more familiar songs “Unbreak My Heart (Regresa A Mi)” and “My Way (A Mi Manera)” are fantastic! They also did a few other classics and oldies that are special and unique in their own way. Most of Il Divo’s songs are in Spanish but there are a few English ones too. For those who love opera singing and ensembles try listening to this. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the language. Their voices are over the top! It’s like a Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, and Josh Groban together but guess what? This group is a quartet so imagine the volume and fullness (hehe sounds like advertising for shampoo) of their music. It’s an album worth listening to if you want to feel overwhelmed…at least that’s how I feel when I listen to it *smiles* Plus they're hunks too!

My past 3 and a half months in a nutshell

It’s 3 days til I go back to Kuching. A little reflection on what happened the last 3 and a half months. Aside from the one gathering I had with my ex classmates, my 2 months in industrial training and the time I spent with my boo and my sis, I don’t think it was as worthwhile as I expected it to be.

Number one, my close friends were bz with one thing or another so we didn’t really spend quality time with each other. By the time LI was over all we wanted to do was spend time with our families, which brings me to…

Number two, my sis was back. She’s the favourite in the family. Smart, pretty, filial…you name it. So, who would want to pay attention to an “Average Jane” like me right? Don’t get me wrong. I love her but, I dunno, I just can’t help but feel favouritism in the air.

And number three, I didn’t get to meet the people I so badly wanted to meet, particularly this one friend of mine. I didn’t understand why for the past 3 months, when I said we could meet up anytime, he didn’t have time to. And when I was 5 days to going back then he calls asking me to go out with him and a couple of friends (which I eventually found out, one of them was his girl). All I wanted was some time with him. We used to be so close and we cared about each other. Now it doesn’t seem as if our friendship is important anymore judging from the way he conveniently brushed our meeting aside. Anyways, I want to get over this. It’s weighing me down.

And then there's this cousin of mine who just came back from US. he'll be here for two weeks but i don't know whether i'll be able to meet up with him. hopefully i can.

Can’t say that I hated my hols because I did spend a lot of quality time with Danny particularly that one week we spent in KL shopping!!! Our time in Perlis was also well spent…saw a lot of new things and visited places. I enjoyed cooking for him cause he always says “Thanks dear…your cooking is really nice ” even though I new very well it sucked. I mean how good can canned food and instant macaroni get right?

I managed to catch up with my best friend’s life and another who just came back from UK. Both of them broke up with their bfs already and are now more wary with choosing partners in the future hehe. I made new friends when I was doing my LI too. Two of which I still have contact with so I’m proud of that hehe. Met a group of my F6 mates at a bbq party hosted by the one and only Hong Chern Wern. Lucky for us we had Hong. If not we most probably wouldn’t meet up.

I learnt a lot during LI…in and outside lab. Went for a couple of dives so that was fun. How many of us gets to dive with fishes that are 2 meters long and a turtle? I did! Hehe. So I consider myself privileged  (Except for the time the turtle slapped me while trying to feed off the algae I was brushing of the aquarium walls)

So a lot happened. The good and the not so good. The bad and the not so bad. Sometimes I wish I had spent it more wisely but sometimes I think the past 3 and a half months wasn’t that bad after all. Well, that’s it. Sarah, was this what you wanted? Hehe. Can’t wait to see you guys back there in Kuching. Miss you all loads!

Some things, you just can't have

Sometimes, things don't go the way you want them to. You wish one thing and you get another. But still you heart does not seem to let go. You lay secretly wishing that things will return back to the way you want it to but you know clearly it won't happen. But still you think there's nothing wrong with wishing.

Then better things happen to you. You are happy for a while thinking that you're over with what u had in your heart before. But it's still there...somewhere embedded in you heart. And then you start wishing again hoping that what you wish this time will not hurt you but make you happy...

The key to my heart...but i'm already taken hehe

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to good manners and elegance.

In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need. You just feel like flirting around and playing right now.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Boy, this is getting fun!

Boy this is making me feel young!

You Are 20 Years Old

20 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Another one of those questionaires...

Found this one quite true... what do u guys think?

Slow and Steady

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment. They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.

How Do People See You?

What kind of kisser are you?

Part Expert Kisser

You're a kissing pro, but it's all about quality and not quantity You've perfected your kissing technique and can knock anyone's socks off And you're adaptable, giving each partner what they crave When it comes down to it, your kisses are truly unforgettable

Part Passionate Kisser

For you, kissing is about all about following your urges If someone's hot, you'll go in for the kiss - end of story You can keep any relationship hot with your steamy kisses A total spark plug - your kisses are bound to get you in trouble

What Kind of Kisser Are You?

Try it out...it's really cool!

Why me?

in the past two months i've had my laptop crash and my digicam go out of focus. i spent RM360 for repairs for the camera and it still came back the same condition it went. this sucks. i mean at least REPAIR it for me. i paid a lot for it. it's not a cheap thing and i really need it. going back in 6 days time and i don't think i will get it back in time if i send it back to be corrected again. it took 6 weeks the last time so i'm pretty sure i won't get it back in time. this sucks! *BLEK*

Faithful friend

A friend of mine just did something really important for me yesterday so i thought i'd do something for her and the rest. Thanks for standing by me no matter what and giving me the strength, encouragement and support i needed in times of trouble. This one's dedicated to my soulmate and all my friends somewhere out there... a true friend sticks closer than a brother. You guys sure proved this right. So this one for you all. Enjoy!~

Faithful friend

Everyone knows you as a man of honor
I am glad to know you simply as a friend
You have always taken time to be my brother
And I'll be standing by you in the end

But I will never put you on a pedestal
I thank the Lord for everything you do
I'll be there to pray for you and for the ones you love I believe that He will finish all He started in you

Chorus:
I will be an open door that you can count on
Anywhere you are, anywhere you've been
I will be an honest heart you can depend on
I will be a Faithful Friend

I am one of many whose path has been made clearer
By the light you've carried faithfully as a warrior and a child
God has used you greatly to encourage and inspire
And you've remained a true friend all the while

So I will never put you on a pedestal
'Cause we both know all the glory is the Lord's
And I'll be there to pray that He will keep you by His grace
And I always will remind you to be seeking His face

(Repeat Chorus)

Which Malaysian blogger are you?

Congratulations Chee Su Yin, you are...

5x Mom of chanlilian.net

You have a maternal instinct secretly hidden deep inside you. To many people you are this well-meaning, protective mother always readily sacrificing yourself helping others. Unfortunately this sometimes can be seen as nagging or being over-protective. Then you become confused because the person you're trying to help suddenly turned on you. But you are diplomatic and you have the patience to slowly but surely patch up any animosity that may exist between you and your detractors. The best thing about you is that no matter how bad the whole world treats you, you are forgiving and never attempt to hold any grudge inside you. For that, you are golden.

Electricity woes...

well, it all happened yesterday when i was watching tv in the hall. i was enduring the one and only penang annual hot spells when suddenly the light that was left on started flickering. on, off...on, off...then, on, off again. i thought, heck, what on earth is going on?
anyways, i got on watching the man on tv cry because he lost he lost his gf (which was actually a guy - he was gay). and then off, on again! at around 7pm, right after i finished my chinese soap, the lights went off again and guess what? yup! it didn't light back!
HECK! i'm going to sizzle and just burn away and no one's gonna find my ashes. i watched helplessly as the fan move slower and slower... i'm gonna die!
my dad called LLN and they came some 15 minutes later... heard one of them say "ini saya boleh buat tapi tak boleh gerenti..." then i saw my neighbour saying something to him and he went "ok ok nanti saya suruh orang datang buat"
and so the lights went back on again.... i managed a bit of Titanic, a couple of comedies and Donald Trump's Apprentic and after that i went to bed. was trying to keep myself so still i wouldn't move a muscle and sweat when the electricity went off again. "ok this time i'm really going to die"
the "orang" came back to "gerenti-ze" the earlier persons work. in the mean time my bf was on his way from his house to save me from my woe. it was midnight already at that time i thought what he did for me last night was really sweet.
i left together with my boo when he reached. found out that the electricity came back again this morn at 12.30am. but every story got a good side to it. i noticed the neighbours getting together that night and in the wee hours of the morn. they were chatting and laughing as if what was happening didn't affect them much. well guess something's got to bring us together...so why not this?
Cheers!
