Nothing Else But Myself

~Inspiring the Uninspired~

2009-10-26T00:38:00.000-07:00

I am finally back with my second post after relaunching my comeback to the blogging world. I know i've broken my promise on posting at least an entry per week but as expected, i am just too lazy to update it as i prefer watching some TV series such as The Vampire Diaries, Melrose Place, 90210, Desperate Housewives, Cougar Town, Gossip Girl and not forgetting Project Runway too. For the past few weeks, I had numerous fun outings with some of my buddies when they were back in Penang during their holidays and we tried something which we had never done before, i.e. going to the Fish Spa, taking a tram around Botanical Garden and the usual activities which includes food hunting and gossiping about all the juicy dramas (sadly i'm a cast in one of the many dramas we talked about). There's just one thing left that we have yet to try and as someone has promised, we shall try it together in December while another bestie of mine is just so eager to try it almost immediately...lol!! I guess desperation has finally caught up with us...it's either gonna be sooner or later, right peeps?

November is the month i'm very much looking forward to as there will be a whole lot of singers who will be releasing their new album on that particular month such as Lady GaGa (The Fame Monster), Rihanna (Rated R), Carrie Underwood (Play On), Leona Lewis (Echo), Britney Spears (The Singles Collection), Kris Allen (Kris Allen), Adam Lambert (For Your Entertainment), Sugababes (Sweet 7), John Mayer (Battle Studies), Timbaland (Shock Value II), Jay Sean (All or Nothing), Justin Bieber (My World), Susan Boyle (I Dreamed A Dream) and a few others. I don't think i can ever live without music as it is my greatest source of inspiration!! Don't you music lovers agree with me?? However, there are certain people who could indeed live their life without the existence music...how could one live without music in their life?? There is a major difference between music in the olden days and music nowadays. It shows how music has changed and developed throughout time. People of the older generation would think that today's music are pure junk and that music nowadays are not the same like those in the olden days. Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, Tina Turner, Gladys Knight, Whitney Houston and Stevie Wonder are to them the truly talented and legendary singers. Well, people have different taste when it comes to music and we should respect what people like even if it's completely different from what we like...as the saying goes, "one person's trash is another's treasure"..

Anyway, talking about the passion for music, who doesn't love parodies? I've seen lots and lots of parodies on YouTube but the parody of Britney Spears' latest smash hit, 3, is currently on the top of my list now. The fake Britney is so hilarious along with two of his friends (i personally think that he should have shaved his armpit before shooting the video) and just for your information, the guy at 0:21 to 0:28 is the director of the video. You can watch it below as i've already embedded it into my blog.. =) =)

That's all for now...shall update this blog again when i feel like doing so. Until then, take care and have fun always!!

~Back to the World of Blogging~

2009-09-27T01:00:00.000-07:00

Hey peeps, so i finally decided to revamped this blog again after abandoning it for centuries. As i have probably told you guys that i have given up on blogging but after much consideration, i feel that i should give it another try (which will be the last). If at any point of time i lost interest in blogging once again, than it is the end of this blog and the entire blog will be deleted once and for all. The reason for not updating this particular blog of mine include a whole lot of reasons such as laziness, busyness and more importantly, there's nothing interesting to blog about. However, i promised you all that i will have at least one post every single week (fingers crossed). If there isn't anything interesting to blog about, i am still gonna update this blog by posting a music or movie review which i know is kinda boring to some of you out there, right?

Anyway, the first post after the revampification of this blog is dedicated to the one and only Beyoncé Knowles which will be holding her first ever concert in Malaysia despite the nonsensical protests from one of the extremely "religious" party (wtf is wrong with them??). So, Beyoncé has once again decided to make Malaysia one of the destination for her highly acclaimed 'I Am… Tour' two years after canceling her second concert tour which is called 'The Beyoncé Experience' due to protesters threatening to disrupt the concert because of her sexy image and clothing. Frankly speaking, i have never been a hardcore fan of Beyoncé until after the released of her 'I Am… Sasha Fierce' album. Without hesitation and further thinking, i have decided to attend this once in a lifetime concert which will be held on the 25th of October at Bukit Jalil National Stadium along with two of my besties who have yet to confirm whether they wanna join me or not. I will most probably be buying the RM383 or RM283 ticket as i wanna have a closer and clearer view of the gorgeous Beyoncé. I just can't wait to catch her live as i have been repeatedly listening to her music ever since her 'I Am… Sasha Fierce' album was released late last year. Never have i been so obsessed with another singer or artiste since Gwen Stefani and yes, i am still very much obsessed with Gwen as i have always been!!

Below are the official poster of The Beyonce “I am…..”World Tour Live in Malaysia 2009 and the seating map of the venue of her concert.

That's all for now...i'm gonna keep this post short and simple. I shall definitely keep up to my promise on one post per week. Until then, take care and have fun always!!

~An Emotional Feeling~

2008-08-25T06:28:00.000-07:00

I've been crying (literally) since yesterday...i don't know what's happening to me. All of a sudden after taking some photographs of my surrounding neighbourhood, i just could not hold back any longer and burst into tears. Yup, you read right...i was teary-eyed in front of my housemates and they even needed to console me. You guys must be wondering why i cried right? Well, to be honest, i really really really miss Newcastle...especially my cosy and memory-filled bedroom where i've been sleeping throughout all these while i'm here. Gosh, how fast time flies by...i know this is kinda contradicting with my previous posts whereby i'm so eager to return to my beloved country. That was then...but now, i am in a serious depression mode. I guess i took things for granted and i regretted that i did not appreciate this place as much as i should be doing. Could you actually believe that I took like nearly 50 pictures of my flat alone...from my room, to the bathroom, toilet, kitchen, my housemates room and not forgetting the storeroom too. I am really gonna miss my flat and my room very very much. Just when i thought i am FINALLY getting used to the environment here in UK, i have to return to the original environment of the place where i belong to. After being surrounded by white people for such a long time, i will definitely take some time getting used to the environment and lifestyle back in Malaysia.

I was actually so happy that i could finally go back to Malaysia and then all of a sudden i'm being strucked by this emotional feeling. Could someone please explain this matter to me? Why am i feeling extremely sad to leave this place? I know i could probably return to Newcastle again in the future but then i don't think i will be able to stay in my current flat and especially my room anymore...that's a horrible feeling. I know some of you will say that life goes on and etc...but to really understand me, one must actually feel what i'm feeling right now. Usually when i am in a solemn mood, listening to my favourite songs will help to cheer me up. But now, i don't even have the mood to listen to any songs at all...all i keep doing is to look out of my bedroom window and think non-stop about my life in UK. It's like a total flashback of memories one after another...and the more i think, the more emotional i will be. Oh well, let me end here...i wanna continue crying...

P.S. Let me list down 10 things i will miss most in UK:-

1) The flat i am currently staying at (including my bedroom)
2) The amount of eye-candies (a paradise i shall said)
3) My housemates and my friends from different parts of the world
4) Some of my lecturers, especially Ms. Carrie McCullock (my ASK class lecturer)
5) The university 24 hours computer area where i frequently visit
5) The chinese restaurant in Chinatown called 'Ting Ting' (i HEART the chef's cooking)
6) The nightlife here in Newcastle (i MISS clubbing in UK)
7) Speaking in a Geordie (North England) accent so that the locals will understand what i am trying to say
8) Northumberland Street (similar to Oxford Street in London) and Morrisons supermarket (where i always do my grocery shopping)
9) Learning to be more independent by cooking for myself, washing the dirty plates and cutleries after dinner, doing my laundry, vacuuming my bedroom floor, clearing the mess and et cetera
10) Staring out of my bedroom window to look at people and whenever i need inspiration

I AM SO GONNA MISS THIS PLACE!!!

I haven't been updating my blog for 5 days...perhaps i needed a little break from the blogging world after posting up so many pictures of my recent holiday trip. Anyway, yesterday had been a fun day for me...i went to watched Batman: The Dark Knight with one of my closest housemate (now ex-housemate), her boyfriend and another current housemate's grandaunty. Before watching the movie, we had dim sum at a restaurant in Chinatown...we ordered a few dim sum dishes and a large plate of Singapore style fried beehoon to be shared among four of us. After lunch, we managed to catch the 2.30pm screening of The Dark Knight. By the time we arrived at the cinema, it was already packed with people...thankfully we managed to find a suitable place to fit four of us with an excellent view of the screen...for your information, the cinemas here in UK are free sitting and you can sit anywhere you desire if you are one of the early birds. In my opinion, it's definitely a great thing to have free sittings in cinemas. If you are early, you can choose the best sitting location and if you are late, that's too bad for you...well, that seems very fair, ain't it??

Batman: The Dark Knight is definitely one of the best movies i have seen this year and for a very long time...no wonder it's getting excellent reviews from mostly everyone. Although, i totally heart Christian Bale, his performance as Batman was just good...nothing spectacular as opposed to the late Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker. Heath Ledger played the character of the Joker so well...indeed, an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor should be presented to him for his portrayal as the Joker. And of course since he won't be able to collect the award personally (duh!), his family members should collect the award on his behalf. Aaron Eckhart played Harvey Dent / Two-Face very well too...i mean everyone in this movie played their role amazingly with the exception of Maggie Gyllenhaal who played Rachel Dawes. To me, her performance as Rachel Dawes was just so-so...maybe the role of Rachel Dawes in this installment of the Batman movies wasn't significant enough. Overall, this is a superb movie...and if you haven't watch it yet, get your ass to one of the cinemas near you to watch this movie...believe me and everyone else in the world, you won't regret it!!

After coming back from the cinema, i had a long chat with two of my new housemates during dinner time...one of them is from Taiwan and the other is from China. Actually, there's another new girl from South Korea but she wasn't chatting with us at that time. My first impression of the guy from China was pretty bad...i didn't really like him on the first day he arrived here in UK because he didn't seem very friendly at first instance. However, after getting to know him a little bit more, i think he ain't that bad after all. His English sucks very badly but at least he's trying to improve on it. As for the Taiwanese guy, he seems pretty alright to me...quite friendly and talkative too. I didn't have much opportunity to talk with the girl from South Korea since she's always out from morning till evening...with the exception of the first day when she arrived here whereby we just introduced ourselves. Since most of my old housemates has already went back to their respective countries, i have no choice but to talk with my new housemates. They are so naive and don't know anything about the lifestyle, environment and culture in UK (just like me when i first arrived here last September)...thus, i had to explained some basic stuffs to them and that took plenty of time. It's always fun getting to know more friends, especially friends from all over the world...learning about the lifestyle, environment and culture of people from different places of the world is surely beneficial.

Anyway, I've been busy searching for rooms to move into when i come to KL in September...searching on the internet but could not find any as of now. Some places are either too far, too expensive, too horrifying, too small and et cetera. I wanna look for a room in a house or condominium which has an attached bathroom, an air-conditioner and it must be fully furnished...and it's better if the house or condominium is still new (built less than 5 years ago). Sigh...why must it be so difficult to find a room...if the rent for the whole house / condominium is cheap, then i don't mind renting the whole house / condominium (that's if my parents will actually allow). Decisions...decisions...decisions...why must life be full of decisions?? I hate making decisions, especially major decisions!! Anyway, i am counting down the days till the day i am going back to Malaysia...whee...i can't wait!! Will be leaving Newcastle on the 26th of August at 1.40pm...arriving Dubai at 12.05am the following day...wait at Dubai international airport for a total of 3 hours and 5 minutes before catching the plane back to Kuala Lumpur at 3.10am...arriving KLIA at 2.15pm on the same day and gotta wait there until 5.10pm for my flight back to Penang...arriving the beautiful island of Penang at 6pm. Upon arriving, my parents, my koh koh and maybe my 2nd aunt will be picking me up from the airport...immediately i will pester them to take me to Double Good restaurant to have Chu Char since i'm craving for it!! The second day will be spending the whole day bloating my stomach with delicious Penang food such as Char Koay Teow, Hokkien Mee, Curry Mee, Laksa, Fried Oyster, Chendul and much much more...and eating good Penang food will be on my schedule for a long long time until i had enough of it...which i think i probably won't.. =) =) I can't believe i've already start making plans for my comeback...gosh, i am missing Penang so so much!! Until then, take care and have fun always!!

After leaving Sorrento and Amalfi, the cruise continued its journey towards the next destination...which is Ajaccio, the capital of Corsica, France. On this day, we decided not to follow the tour / excursion...simply because there is not much interesting places here in Ajaccio and it's possible for us to wander around the city centre all by ourselves. The only famous places here in Ajaccio is the beach (once again), Napoleon Bonaparte's statue (together with his four brothers), Casa di Napoleon (the house in which Napoleon Bonaparte was born), the shopping area Maréchal-Joffre Place, which is the main square in Ajaccio. As usual, the colour of the sea water here is crystal clear and it's simply awesome!! Anyway, enjoy the pictures below:-

Relatively, there's nothing much to see in Ajaccio...don't think i will be returning here again in the future. I didn't really enjoy this place that much except for the beautiful beach...apart from that, it's just alright and nothing spectacular. Oh yeah, i wanna take this opportunity to thank ITCH for designing a new banner for me...i love it so much!! I know you are very busy at the moment and yet you took the effort to design a new banner for me...i really appreciate it...THANK YOU VERY MUCH ITCH!!!

As mentioned before, i will be posting up the Amalfi pictures in this post. Amalfi lies at the mouth of a deep ravine, at the foot of Monte Cerreto, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and coastal scenery...about 24 miles southeast of Naples city centre. The beauty of Amalfi is just indescribable...no words can describe the beauty of this place...it's just too good to be true!! No wonder it is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Upon arriving here, we spent about 2 hours walking around Amalfi's town centre. The town centre here is much smaller compared to the one at Sorrento.

There is an optional tour whereby one can take a speed boat out to the sea and the boatmen will take the passenger to the sea so that we can have a closer look of Amalfi from there. The price for one person on this optional boat trip is 10 Euros per person and all i gotta say is that it's worth every penny!! Thankfully i managed to persuade my aunt and her friends to go on this boat trip since they were in a dilemma whether to go or not...and yes, they didn't regret either!! Anyway, enjoy the pictures below:-

The five pictures shown below were taken inside the bus on the way to Amalfi.

The three pictures shown below were taken on the way to Amalfi...the bus driver was so kind to actually stop on the roadside so that we can get down from the bus and enjoy the magnificent view of this gorgeous calanque (inlet). Once again, I was mesmerised by its beauty...

The Cathedral of Amalfi along with the bell tower

The front view of the Cathedral of Amalfi

The pictures shown below were taken in Amalfi...the view of the town centre and also its beautiful beaches...

ALL the pictures shown below were taken when we were inside the speedboat...we were not very far from the shore, thus giving us an excellent view of Amalfi.. =) =)

~The Best Vacation Ever (III)~

2008-07-21T16:36:00.000-07:00

On the third day of our cruise trip, we embarked on a full-day guided tour to Sorrento and Amalfi which are both located in Naples. Due to insufficient time, we did not hang around Naples city centre and instead, we headed straight towards both Sorrento and Amalfi. The journey from Naples city centre to Sorrento takes about an hour drive by bus and the journey from Sorrento to Amalfi takes about another 45 minutes. I took too many pictures in Sorrento and Amalfi...so, i am gonna post the pictures i took in Sorrento first in this post and i shall post the Amalfi pictures in another separate post. Sorrento is an extremely popular tourist destination, known for its stunning beauty where people come all the way just to relax and enjoy the scenery around this area.

On the way from the Naples city centre to Sorrento, we managed to pass through Mount Vesuvius (as can be seen from the two pictures taken below). It does look very astonishing from afar but when one looks at it closer, it looks nothing more than an ordinary mountain...and it doesn't even seem volcanic to me.

The view of Sorrento from afar (inside the bus)

The pictures below are Sorrento's town centre...a small little bustling town full with branded and luxury goods shops, restaurants, souvenir shops and much much more!!

The pictures below are taken from the town of Sorrento, overlooking the bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.

Sorrento's pier whereby famous local and international celebrities docked their yachts.

The second place we went during our cruise trip was to the city of Trapani in Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. There's nothing much to see in Trapani's city centre and therefore, we headed towards the historic town of Erice...which is located 750m above sea level on top of Mount Erice. We took a cable car from the bottom of Mount Erice all the way to the top of the mountain which is about 20 minutes journey. I didn't quite enjoy this guided excursion...don't know why but i wasn't feeling excited when i visited this place. Anyway, enjoy the pictures below:-

The map of Erice

Typical street / narrow alleyway in Erice

Erice's main church

Pepoli Castle at Erice, which is now a hotel

The pictures shown below are taken from the top of Mount Erice overlooking the city of Trapani and also the Mediterranean Sea.

The pictures below are some buildings along the pier of Trapani and also the pier itself. Nothing spectacular since it's just a small pier...

Ok guys, the pictures below were taken in Palma, Majorca...on the very the first day itself when we arrived there. Our guided tour bus took us straight from the airport to the port whereby the cruise was already waiting for its passengers...so, i didn't have a chance to take pictures of Palma's city centre and its tourist destinations. Palma is basically a major city and port on the island of Majorca and capital city of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands in Spain. One of the main tourist attraction in Palma has gotta be La Seu, a magnificent cathedral located in the heart of Palma's city centre...too bad we just passed by without stopping over so that we can take some pictures. Anyway, enjoy the pictures of Palma's port below:-

The three pictures below were taken on the second day of the cruise trip. The cruise was on its way to Trapani, Sicily and i managed to capture the beautiful sunset in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.

2008-07-20T06:38:00.000-07:00

Hey all...i just got my arse back the day before yesterday. I've been enjoying myself to the max and upon arriving back here, i feel so depressed and miserable!! I wished my holidays would have lasted longer...i wanna stay in London longer instead of coming back to Newcastle. This recent trip has gotta be the best vacation i ever had...the cruise experience was definitely unforgettable and no words can describe how wonderful the whole trip was!! The entire journey started out like this...on the 2nd of July, i took a bus from Newcastle to London to meet up with my aunt and stayed in London for a couple of nights. Then, we flew from London Gatwick airport to Palma, Mojorca (the largest island of Spain). The cruise journey begins from here and it lasted for 8 days/7 nights visiting the relevant Mediterranean regions. In Sicily, we visited the beautiful city of Trapani and Erice(a historic city located on the top of Mount Erice). In Naples, we visited Sorrento and Amalfi (one of the most magnificent places in the world and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites). On the way to both Sorrento and Amalfi, we managed to pass through the famous and still active volcanic Mount Vesuvius. In Ajaccio, France (the place Napoleon Bonaparte was born), we did nothing much except walking around in the city centre and strolling along the pier...oh, and not forgetting visiting Napoleon Bonaparte's statue located in the main square and also Casa di Napoleon, the house in which Napoleon Bonaparte was born (which is still fully preserved until now).

The next day we headed towards Toulon, a city in southern France and a large military harbour on the Mediterranean coast, with a major French naval base. Instead of hanging around in Toulon, we decided to go to Cassis, located about an hour drive by bus from Toulon's city centre. Among all the tourist destinations i have been to, i have to admit that i LOVE Cassis the most!! The place itself is so so beautiful and breathtaking...Cassis is well-known for its famous cliffs and calanques. In Cassis itself, i took more than 150 photographs as i was so amazed by its scenic beauty. On the second last day of the cruise trip, we visited Barcelona and spent the entire day visiting the Barcelona Cathedral, Sagrada Família church and not forgetting the iconic street of Las Rambla (one of the most famous streets in the world along with Oxford Street in London and Champs-Élysées in Paris). On the last day of journey, the cruise headed back to Palma, Majorca and we then flew back to London. I stayed in London until the 18th of July (which also happens to be the birthday of "Queen Elizabeth II") before returning back to this awful place whereby i am counting down the days before going back to Malaysia. By the way, the whole of France and England (and perhaps in other countries too) are having a big big summer sale...and the sale here is totally a REAL DEAL!! Discounts ranging from 50% to 80% on items such as clothing and et cetera can been seen everywhere in central London...i was tempted to buy so many stuffs but due to budget constraint, i have to limit myself to buying things which i really wanted.

I really gotta thank my aunt for everything and if not for her, i wouldn't be able to go to all those wonderful places. Who knew going on a holiday trip with 3 senior citizens would be full of fun and excitement...and now that i am back here, i really do miss my aunt and her friends a lot. No wonder this vacation was the best i ever had!! Anyway, that's all for now and i shall be posting up the pictures in a couple of days time...until then, take care!!

~A Cruisy Journey~

2008-06-28T23:08:00.000-07:00

I am extremely sorry for not updating my blog this few days. This is just an announcement for those of you who didn't know...i will be heading back to Malaysia after my graduation ceremony...the moment i've been waiting for such a long time!! In my previous post, i was in a dilemma whether to continue staying here in UK or to return back to Malaysia to further continue my studies. Well, given much thought and advices from family members and friends, i decided to continue doing my CLP (Certificate in Legal Practice) at Brickfields Asia College, KL. The course will start somewhere in September and it's kinda rush for me as i will only be coming back to Malaysia either in late August or early September. I will definitely miss UK very very much when i leave this place. According to a close friend, "in order to gain something..u must let go something.." and i totally agree with that statement. I'm giving up this place so that i can go home to be with my parents, my lovely doggy, my relatives and my close buddies. However, if someone would to ask me whether i will return to UK in the future, my answer will definitely be YES!!! Perhaps after completing my CLP examination, i might wanna return to UK to continue doing my Masters but that of course, is still uncertain as of now...only time will tell what the future holds for us!!

Oh, there's one more thing...i am actually kinda shocked that this year's MTV Asia Awards 2008 will be held at Arena of Stars in Genting!! I didn't expect Malaysia to host such a big event especially with PAS protesting the performances by international female singers, such as my all-time favourite Gwen Stefani and Beyoncé Knowles (even local artists such as Ella and Mas Idayu are not spared). That is so so absurd and illogical...even the Sultan of Selangor described their protest as hypocritical” and “trivial”. So, back to the topic, i am actually kinda shocked and at the same time proud of Malaysia for hosting such a big event. I so wanna see Leona Lewis perform live at the ceremony as i totally ADORE her (but too bad i can't attend the awards show since i will still be here in UK) and not forgetting, the super gorgeous and hunky Jared Leto (i HEART him) who will be the host of the spectacular event. Says Jared Leto, "It's an honor to be a part of what I'm sure will be an exciting and unforgettable night in a magical and beautiful country. MTV has been an important home for 30 Seconds to Mars throughout our worldwide journey. I am very proud to join everyone in such a unique and gorgeous location like Malaysia. It is going to be a crazy and wonderful night."

Anyway, my blog will be on hiatus once again as i will be going to London to visit my aunt next Wednesday and then on the following Friday, i will be embarking on a 7 days cruise (Thomson Spirit) to the Jewels of the Mediterranean visiting places such as Majorca (Spain), Sicily (Italy), Naples (Italy), Ajaccio (France), Toulon (France) and lastly, Barcelona (Spain). Thankfully, i don't have to spend a single cent as my aunty will be paying for me...if i have to pay, i don't think i wanna go also lah because it's so damn expensive, if i'm not mistaken it costs around £450 for the entire cruise journey. On my last trip to Italy, i didn't have the chance to visit Sicily and Naples and this time, i get to visit those places...wheee, i am so excited and i can't wait for the trip!! Will be taking lots and lots of pictures during the entire trip.. =) =) So, basically i have been to all the major cities in Italy such as Rome, Vatican City, Florence, Pisa, Venice including the two cities i will be visiting during the cruise trip, namely Sicily and Naples. The only other big cities in Italy which i haven't visited are Milan, Bologna and Cagliari. After coming back from the cruise, i will be staying in London for a few more days before returning back to Newcastle just in time for my graduation ceremony which will be held a few days later...practically, i'll be gone for a couple of weeks. Gosh, i can't wait to come back...i MISS Malaysia!!! Besides that, i'm also looking forward for the Bangkok trip with iL, kH and aL somewhere in December...hopefully this trip will materialise in the end (fingers crossed).. =) =) Anyone else interested to join us on this fun and exciting trip to Bangkok??

That's all for now...will be updating once again after i am back from my trip...until then, take care and have fun always!!

Attached below are the advance publicity pictures of Thomson Spirit cruise:-

~Decision Making & Rantings~

2008-06-10T12:38:00.000-07:00

I am in a huge huge dilemma right now...there are so many things lingering in my mind and i couldn't be bothered to make a solid decision of what i am planning to do as of yet. Days go by so slowly these days, especially after finishing all my exams. I guess i am pretty bored staying at home nearly everyday because i am so lazy and tired to even step out of my room. I prefer staying in my room surfing the internet rather than going out with my friends or housemates, even if it's just for a meal or two. Besides, going out means that i have to spend more money and i really wish to save some money for the rainy days since i have already spent quite a lot of money during the beginning of the semester. Alas, the greatest and most valuable lesson i have learned is not to waste my dimes on unnecessary stuffs...a lesson well-learned i assumed. Thank God my senses have finally awoken during my stay here in UK. What's the purpose of buying expensive clothing when nobody will even notice what you are wearing...what's the purpose of buying things which you don't even need...what's the purpose of going to an expensive hair salon if the end result is gonna be the same if i were to go to a cheap hair salon and et cetera.

My greatest dilemma is whether i should find a job here so that i can pass my time by doing something more beneficial and at the same time, earning some cash instead of lazing around in my room every day and night. After being lectured by my brother for over an hour or so, i finally decided to look for a job here in Newcastle. Initially, of course i have no intention or whatsoever to work here but after the "good" lecture from him, i think it will be the right decision to look for a job so that i could earn some money and at the same time, gain some well-deserved experiences. I have submitted my application form to work at either McDonald's or some bars-pubs-clubs around Newcastle city centre and hopefully i could get the feedback as soon as possible. A friend forewarned me not to work at the bars-pubs-clubs as it could be quite dangerous at times and also because of the hideous working time, whereby i have to work from around 10pm to 3 or 4 in the morning. However, i did not listen to his advice and continued applying to work at the bars-pubs-clubs and now i am SLIGHTLY regretting over my action to do so. Indeed, i should have consulted my parents first before applying for such kind of job but come to think of it, even if i am offered the job to work there, i could still decline the job when it is being offered to me, right? Logically speaking, it's better and safer to work at McDonald's and moreover, the working time is more flexible although it's not so easy to be offered a job there because there are LOTS of other students searching for empty vacancies at McDonald's too. Sigh, i really don't know what else to do...having a terrible headache right now as i am typing this post.. =( =(

Another dilemma i am facing now is whether i should continue doing my Masters in London or i should return back to Malaysia (precisely Kuala Lumpur) to do my CLP (Certificate in Legal Practice) at Brickfields Asia College. Oh by the way, Alvin...the CLP course will only be scrap off either next year or the year after, not this year (according to one of the consultants in Brickfields Asia College). I guess this is an even bigger dilemma for me compared to finding a job here because this involves my future...my future depends on the decision i'm making now!! Some of you might suggest that i complete my Masters first here in UK and then only return back to KL to continue my CLP but i don't think that is a wise decision because by doing so, i will have to spend more time and money and effort too!! After much thinking, i THINK i will probably return back to Malaysia after my graduation to continue doing my CLP in KL but that decision of mine hasn't been finalise yet...i will have to discuss this matter thoroughly with my father. I hope i am making the right decision as i don't want to have any regrets later in life. Going back to do my CLP in KL means that i can return to the beautiful island of Penang every fortnightly to be with my family, my lovely baby Billion and also Alvin and Nicholas as well as other friends whom are still staying in Penang...at the same when i'm in KL, i can go out shopping (didn't i just mentioned that i have to cut down on shopping) and makan-makan with both Ivans and Alan. But to leave UK will also be quite painful for me...i will miss Jimmy and one of my housemate who is extremely close to me (her name is Ava), the environment, the culture, the lifestyle, the living standard, the delicacies, the enormous amount of eye-candies and everything else. Among all my housemates, Ava is the person whom i'm the closest with...we share almost everything with each other. She tells me most of her secrets and i also told her most of my secrets (except for some, you know what is it)...practically, she tells me secrets which she even kept from her boyfriends (and yes, she has a few boyfriends). We are like brothers and sisters or more like sisters and sisters...we treat each other so well!! When i am feeling down and lonely, i will go to her room and talk to her regarding the issue that is bothering me...when i am sick, she will take good care of me and reminds me to take my medication just in case i forgotten about it...we cook meals for each other when we are around...we bitch about other people, especially another housemate of ours who stole and ran away with my frying pan...we consult and ask each other's opinion before purchasing something...basically, we do nearly everything together!! I will miss her so much when i go back to Malaysia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, moving one, enough about the dilemmas which i am currently facing...it's now time for some gossip!! I am so so so damn pissed off with one of my classmate...he is such an asshole!! I really really regretted becoming his friend...i have never been so dumb to fall into his tricks. Lots of people are already avoiding him from the beginning but i stood by him all these while, how foolish can i be?? He lies, he backstabs his own close friends, he takes advantages of people...how could i not realise all of those?? I have been blinded by him...i feel like a fool right now!! I just can't wait for him to go home as soon as possible so that i don't have to see his face anymore...i haven't been so angry for such a long time. I must admit that sometimes we do agree quarrel over small matters but this time, it's way beyond the limit...when we talk with our friends, we should be polite during the conversation and we must also have respect for each other. Before accusing your friend, you should investigate the truth behind the accusation made...and you should have more trust and faith in your close friends rather than to believe everything that your newfound friend said!! That friend of mine is older than me but his behaviour is much more amateur compared to mine...that is just disgraceful, shameful and embarrassing!! I will not tolerate this friend anymore...i am sick and tired of his moronic attitude!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alan, learn from me...if you think your friendship with someone is not worth saving, just completely ignore that person and don't waste your time on trying to mend / improve the relationship between you and him!!

Ah, i guess that's all for now...this must be one of the longest post i have ever written. Sorry for the long post, i guess i really am free nowadays. Until then, take care & have fun always. Cheers.. =) =)

~Free Like A Bird~

2008-06-05T09:38:00.000-07:00

Hello guys...i'm finally back again after taking some well-deserved rest after my finals examination. So, practically exams and courseworks are finally over and here i am resting everyday at home and not going out anywhere. I've been so lazy after my exams...all i wanna do is sleep, eat, listening to music and watch movie on my laptop. Perhaps it has become a habit to laze around in my room because i've actually stayed indoor for such a long time and not going anywhere because i've to study for my finals examination. But hey, listening to music and watching movies has always been my passion, so i guess it's no harm staying at home everyday and let myself rot, hehehe!! Besides, i need to relax myself and help reduce stress especially after my exams.

However, i have to go to TESCO tomorrow to stock up on my grocery supplies. Haven't been there before but i heard that it's quite big and hence, there's more things to buy there. So, perhaps i shall be spending slightly more than i normally would...i am thinking of getting some clothes from TESCO. Yes dear, i am not that rich...so i have to shop for clothes at TESCO or Primark (a clothing retailer known for selling clothes at the budget end of the market but do bear in mind that their clothing are very fashionable). If i have enough money, of course i will buy my clothes from H&M or Marks & Spencer or Fenwick or John Lewis...but now, i am on a budget constraint and i can't afford to spend unnecessary money on expensive clothes. Moreover, people here in UK don't even bother what kind or brand of clothing you are wearing when you go out...you can wear anything you desire without having to worry that someone else might actually judge you. This is totally opposite back in Malaysia because if you happen to wear something unusual or should i say unique, people might stare at you for a long time without even blinking their eyes...thus it means that we have no freedom or whatsoever to wear what we intentionally wanted to wear. There's always a need to think twice what you want to wear before going outdoors or face the consequences of people laughing or staring at you!!

Anyway, move on to something more interesting...like i mentioned above, i've been spending lots of my free time watching movies i downloaded from the internet. I've been downloading so many movies lately because the internet connection speed is so damn fast, especially after midnight when most of my housemates have gone to bed. I can finish downloading an entire movie between a time length of approximately 30 minutes...that's really really fast i must say. Ok, the movies i have been watching are Jumper, The Forbidden Kingdom, Beowulf, 27 Dresses, Georgia Rule, Cloverfield, Employee of the Month, Dragon Wars, Lake Dead, Wrong Turn 2: Dead End, Charlotte's Web, Bee Movie and Awake. That's a lot of movie, right? Well, i will be downloading even more movies soon...well, i need to spend my free time by doing something entertaining so that time will pass by faster. I can't download all the latest movies which are currently showing in cinemas such as Iron Man, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Prom Night, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Made of Honor because the quality is not so good yet...only movies which are already a few months old will be in high quality, i.e. DVD quality. I am very particular when it comes to watching movies because i will only watch movies which are of high or DVD quality...i don't want to waste my time watching crappy quality movies.

Oh yeah, not forgetting to mention, my housemates and myself had a farewell party last week. The farewell party was held at a very elegant and stylish looking Spanish restaurant known by the name of La Tasca, located just beside the Tyne River. This restaurant is very famous for their tapas...and therefore, we ordered so many plates of tapas shared between all of us. After the main course meal, we ordered their desserts which are simply fantastic!! The price of the food in this restaurant is very reasonable. Besides that, the boss of this restaurant (who is a Spanish) is very cute too and i was looking at him all the time (being slutty once in a while is not an offence). Well, he's not drop dead gorgeous but i can say that he's above average looking.. =) =) We were so full until we couldn't walk back home after the wonderful dinner. =) =) Below are some of the pictures taken on that night:-

We ordered extra thinking it wasn't enough, lol...

I guess that's all for now...it's a miracle that i actually have 2 posts in a day...hahaha, this proves that i am indeed very free. Shall blog again very soon...so stay tune!!

~Malaysian Petrol Price Hike~

2008-06-05T08:38:00.000-07:00

Arrgghhhh...this is absolutely crazy!! Malaysian government is going nuts...an increase of 40% for the price of petrol in Malaysia is just untolerable. How could this happen? The petrol price in Malaysia is already quite high (although lower than in some other countries such as Singapore & etc) but yet the government still wishes to increase it even higher. I guess the government wants to seek REVENGE from the people because a lot of people have actually supported the opposition party as illustrated during the previous general election whereby 5 states falls into the hands of the opposition party. Instead of making people happy so that during the next general election, people might actually support back Barisan Nasional, they are making us more angry because of the price hike of petrol. What the hell are they thinking about?? Do they even care about the feelings of Malaysian citizens?? Do they even care about our needs?? Do they how much burden will be put onto our shoulders by increasing the petrol price?? Do they know that prices of other things such as food, transportation fees and everything else, will also increase because of the sudden hike in petrol price?? Business people will use this opportunity to increase all the price of their products or services and we have to suffer because of that...sad. =( =(

And since now the government have reduce the subsidy on petroleum, the question remains as to where are the savings going to be spend on? The government should really address this issue as soon as possible or more and more people will be fuming mad at the government. Oh yeah, besides that, i thought the price increase for petrol will ONLY increase in August?? Why the fuck did they increase the price so suddenly today?? Without any warning given to us...they think just because they are the government (which means they are superior) , they can do anything they want?? They should think of us before making any hasty decision...and when i said hasty, it really means HASTY!!! How about those people who need to travel long distance between their home and their workplace?? For sure that would be such a huge burden on them since they now have to fork out more money just to accommodate the increment in petrol prices, which is supposedly unnecessary if the petrol price remains the same as it should be. The cost of living in Malaysia is going up but our income remains the same...that to me, is just so UNFAIR!! At least if the prices of everything is going up, our salary or income should also go up lah instead of remaining the same...i just don't get it!! Can someone please enlighten me?? To those of you who are ignorant enough to support and vote for the ruling party during the previous general election, eat your arse out!! In return for supporting them, they actually repay back your good deeds by increasing the petrol price...how "nice" of them!!

Since nothing can be done regarding this matter anymore, the government should now focus on how to mitigate this hike of the petrol price. Thankfully, our government is slightly smart enough to provide a RM625 annual cash rebate per vehicle, for owners of private vehicles with engine capacities of up to 2,000cc, as well as pickup trucks and jeeps with engine capacities of up to 2,500cc (according to The Star newspaper) but only time will tell if such mitigation will help to reduce the anger of Malaysian citizens. Indeed, the increase in petrol prices is unavoidable, however one thing that we can change is the way we spend our hard-earned money...gosh, this means that when i come back to Malaysia later in the year, does that mean that i can't do shopping as much as i used to and does that mean that i can't enjoy eating luxury food so frequently anymore?? I just feel like crying...sobs...sobs...someone please help me!! Oh wait, i nearly forgot...Tenaga Nasional Bhd would ALSO be raising electricity rates by 18%?? Does that mean when i'm back in Malaysia, i can't switch on my air conditioner every single night during bedtime in order to avoid paying such a hefty amount of money?? I think it's better if i just stay in UK whereby i can save money not having to worry about air conditioner because the weather here is cold enough...i'm just joking...of course lah i wanna go back to my lovely country. =) =)

Oklah, i guess i should stop ranting for now...i have just exploded and let everything out. Until then, take care & goodbye!!

~We Break the Dawn~

2008-05-22T00:50:00.000-07:00

I am loving this song so much right now...it's so infectious...i could said this is one of the best song of 2008. I haven't heard something so pleasing to the ears for such a long time. Have a look at the music video below...it's the perfect video for the purrrfect song!!

The night is done when we break the dawn…

~In This Moment~

2008-05-21T10:28:00.000-07:00

Hey folks, sorry for not updating my blog for a very long time...i was extremely busy throughout the past few weeks. I gotta submit all my courseworks last week and now, i am sitting for my finals exam which starts from today. Civil liberties exam today was kinda tough...i didn't have the time to complete all the questions. Well, perhaps there's just too much to write and all i could do is to pray hard that everything will go smoothly. I guess my fluency and proficiency in English language does benefit me especially in the legal field. I am so glad that i never attended Chinese school...i have no regrets or whatsoever by not taking the initiative to learn Mandarin or Cantonese because my proficiency in English can definitely bring me to greater heights compared to the two aforementioned languages. I am not condemning Mandarin language or Cantonese dialect...all i am trying to say is that it's not so necessary for me to learn it as of yet. Take Justin and Yong Ming for example...they can't communicate in Mandarin (perhaps they should know a lil' Cantonese) but their proficiency as well as fluency in English language is fanstastic!! Not everybody can have the best of both worlds...there's a saying that 'in order to excel in one aspect of life, you gotta give up the least important one'. Imagine if i would to be fluent and competent in Mandarin and completely blunt when it comes to English language. It will of course be a barrier for me since i am currently studying in the UK where English is the main source of language...well, not only in the UK but all around the world!! Perhaps in the distant future i might consider learning Mandarin but i don't think it will be anytime soon...i wanna learn up Italian and German language first and possibly Frence too!! Besides that, to study for a Law degree, a person should possess a good command of English. Having to read all those Law books without understanding the facts of the case and the judgment made by the courts are just plain useless.

Ok ok, enough crapping on this issue...let's get back to my Civil Liberties exam today. There were approximately 150 students sitting for the exams and there were only 3 Asians in the entire exam hall, including me. All those "ang moh kias" especially the guys LOVES going to the loo so damn much...they got up from their one sit one after another during the exam and went straight ahead to the loo. Hmmm, i wonder what is so interesting?? Could there be some answer scripts hidden beneath the toilet bowls?? If i have some extra time to spare, for sure i will pay a visit to the loo too, hehehe!! I seriously did not regret choosing Civil Liberties as one of my core subject. It emphasises more on the rights and freedom which should are enjoyed by the UK citizens. Among the topics convered under Civil Liberties are human rights, miscarriages of justice, the right to privacy, the right to a fair trial, obscenity in the eyes of the law, the prevention of terrorism in the modern era and et cetera. It's kinda interesting and it broadens my knowledge in this specific area of the law which is deemed to be very important in people's daily life.

You know...something struck my head a few hours before i sit for my exam. Suddenly, my mind, heart and soul asked me NOT to leave UK anytime soon and continue staying here until i am sick and bored of this place. I am just afraid that if i ever return back to Malaysia (for good, i mean), i might regret those actions before thinking in depth about it!! I am starting to get use to the environment and lifestyle here in the UK (i know it takes me such a long long time)...and also, i am making more new friends from all over the place. I can learn about their culture and their way of living. However, if i were to go back, all that is GONE!! Before this, it's my father who forced me to continue my Masters in Law here in the UK and i was so against the idea of coming back to this dreadful place...but now things has changed. I am MORE than willing to continue staying here to further pursue my Masters in Law. I don't what wrong with me but i think i am starting to have some feelings towards life in the UK. Of course i do miss my parents, my lovely baby dog, my relatives and my close friends too but i guess living here by myself trains me to be a more independent person instead of having to rely on my maid all the time. Oh yeah, not forgetting that i really really do miss Malaysian food...i wanna eat Laksa, Wantan Mee, Char Hor Fun, Fried Oyster, Bak Kut Teh, Dim Sum, Chicken Rice, Claypot Chicken Rice, Economy Beehoon, Nasi Kandar, Chendul, Ice Kachang and much much more!!!!!

Arrgghh, enough ranting for now...gotta continue studying for my Family Law exam on this coming friday. Until then, take care and bye!!

P.S. Despite the tight schedule for my exams, i still managed to find some time to watch the finale episode of American Idol Season 7. It was a clear scenario that the cuter and more talented David Archuleta had dominated the night with his amazing vocals and great looks. Well, let's all hope that he will be the winner of this season's American Idol. Thanks Itch for recommending me the "Surf the Channel" website. At least now i can watch the full length performance of the show instead of having to watch clips of it on YouTube. David Archuleat so deserves to win this competition. David Cook is great too but i think David Archuleta would make a better Idol compared to David Cook!! Anyway, let's just wait till results are out when the new American Idol will be crowned...

Update: David Cook is the winner of American Idol Season 7...oh well, it's just too bad for David Archuleta because he really is the better singer!! Congrats to Cookies anyway...hopefully Archuleta will outsell Cookies when both of their albums are out somewhere later in the year.

~Mariah, Mariah, Mariah~

2008-04-15T08:28:00.000-07:00

Omigowd…I am so in lurve with Mariah Carey’s new album, E=MC². I gotta admit that this is her best album so far. I practically love each and every single track from this album. I have never liked ALL the songs from an album before (with the exception of Gwen Stefani’s debut & sophomore albums). Mariah Carey is like my second favourite artist right now, after Gwen Stefani of course (nobody could ever replace Gwen Stefani, i.e. she's irreplaceable). I am so gonna buy Mariah’s new album when it’s out…oh, wait a minute…isn’t yesterday the released date of her album here in the UK which is on the 14th of April. Gosh, I gotta go and grab that album as soon as I have the free time to do so. The best songs from E=MC² has gotta be Migrate, Touch My Body, Cruise Control, I Stay In Love, Side Effects, I’m That Chick, O.O.C. & Bye Bye. The other tracks not mentioned here are kinda great too. However, if I am given only one choice to pick my favourite track from this album, I would definitely choose Side Effects featuring Young Jeezy. This song is very infectious…the more I listen to it, the more I am in love with it!! There’s a tie between my second favourite track from this album…and that’s between I Stay in Love & Bye Bye…both this power ballads are AMAZING & FANTASTIC (no words can describe the awesomeness of both of this songs). They are way better than We Belong Together, from her previous album…The Emancipation of Mimi. Listening to the songs in this album really helps me to concentrate better in my 3 courseworks which are due in early May…yes, I am serious here, no jokes or whatsoever!! It kinda gives me the inspiration to work my ass off…arrrghhh…someone help me…I am so addicted to this album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~An Unforgettable Holiday Experience~

2008-04-11T13:11:00.000-07:00

Hey guys...sorry for the lack of update. I just came back from my awesome & fantastic trip to Italy & France. I gotta admit that Italy is the best damn place in the entire universe. From the moment i arrived Italy, i fell in LOVE with it immediately. My friends & myself visited Rome, Florence, Pisa, Vatican City & Venice in Italy...and my favourite has gotta be Rome, followed by Venice. I will definitely return back to Italy after my final exams...i wanna explore the whole of Italy including Milan (the famous fashion capital), Sicily, Verona, Bologna & not forgetting Naples too. As for France, we only managed to visit Paris due to time constrain...this was my second time to Paris...my first time being in Paris was in 2002. Anyway, i shall post all the pictures within the next few days. I took more than a thousand pictures throughout my trip but i am only gonna post the ones which i think is interesting...can't post it now because i am feeling so exhausted. Wait for my next post!!!

P.S. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

~Happy Shopping~

2008-03-08T15:08:00.000-08:00

The printer which i bought - The Epson Stylus DX7450

Today is a shopping spree day for me...bought many things today. Firstly, i bought a new printer which costs me 49.99 pounds. It was on sale, so i immediately grabbed this opportunity to get one since i am in desperate need of a printer due to the coming courseworks which requires me to print lots and lots of stuffs. The original price for this all-in-one printer with individual ink cartridges is 79.99 pounds...that means i save a whopping 30 pounds. Secondly, i finally puchased a new mobile phone which is the Nokia N95 with 8 GB of memory in it. I bought it via the internet on a pay monthly contract from '3 Mobile' and i will receive it this coming tuesday...will post the picture of my new baby once i get hold of it. I can see many students having this mobile phone since it's one of the hottest designs available at this moment along with the Sony Ericsson K850i, Samsung G600 and not forgetting the new LG KU990 Viewty (all of this mobile phones has amazing 5 MegaPixels camera). Initially, i planned to buy the Sony Ericsson K850i but after reading many bad comments & reviews about it, i decided to opt for the Nokia N95 8GB...i just can't wait till i receive it!! ;);)

Thirdly, i bought many new clothes since the end of winter sale has arrived. The past season clothes has huge discounts because the clothes outlets are trying to get rid of them. For me, i personally don't care whether the clothes are already off-season or not...as long as they are cheap & nice, i will normally just buy it. Alltogether, i bought two pairs of jeans, two pairs of denim bermudas, 3 short pants and 5 t-shirts...that's a lot!! Well, i can't stop my urge to shop around for new attire. Gosh, my i already have so many clothes in my wardrobe...i wonder how am i going to take all of it back to Malaysia end of this year??? Lastly, i bought my groceries food from the supermarket because all my foodstuffs in the refridgerator has already finished since last weekend...yes, you could imagine what i ate this whole week since there's nothing left for me in the fridge. I basically skipped lunch and only ate dinner throughout this entire week. Sometimes i would only have bread with blackcurrant or strawberry jam and hazelnut chocolate spread and sometimes, i have to bear eating noodles which tastes horrible. Clearly, i have been so busy until i have no time to go to the city centre to buy my foodstuffs till today. Besides that, i can't buy lots of food items too because i am carrying my printer and clothes with me at the same time. I guess i will be heading to the city centre once more tomorrow to get more foodstuffs and also to have buffet lunch in Chinatown with my housemate...hey, i gotta treat myself to a delicious meal once in a while instead of cooking everyday, right?

By the way, i am so loving the new music video by Jesse McCartney titled Leavin'...it's currently one of my favourite song right now. Jesse McCartney is so damn hot in this music video...wish he could show more of his body though...SMOKIN' HOT!!!

Anyway, i don't think i will be heading back to Malaysia anytime soon after my graduation in July. I am planning to find a decent job and work here temporarily to earn some money before going back to Malaysia. It means that i have got to change my airticket which is scheduled for me to return back home somewhere in the middle of July to some other dates, probably in December or January. However, this matter is still not conclusive...i could change my mind after i graduated. So, as of now, i am planning to stay here for quite some time although i really really miss Malaysia a lot!! Ok, i guess i should stop blogging for now, wanna sleep early because i am so damn tired from all the shopping i had done today. Goodnitez...

P.S. Thanks Jimmy for helping to take my new spectacles...really appreciate it!! Can't wait to see you soon...;);)

~Election Fever~

2008-03-08T13:51:00.000-08:00

I have never intended to write anything about the election fever currently in Malaysia but i couldn't help it...i have to express what i felt at this moment. I am not someone who is interested in politics because of all the corruptions revolving around politicians especially under the reign of Barisan Nasional. No doubt that Barisan is still going to win this election and the election to come, but this time, they have suffered a tremendous setback. They no longer have the two-third majority in the government compared to the previous election in 2004. The opposition parties has managed to captured 5 states in Malaysia and that's including the beloved Penang, of course. Although to many people's delight, Barisan Nasional has finally been deprived of its virtually absolute power of such a long time in Malaysian election history but i seriously doubt whether we should really celebrate the victory of the opposition. Is it supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing considering that the combined opposition party DAP-PKR-PAS has won over the state of Penang? Clearly, the winner of the opposition party is DAP who has won all 19 state seats it contested in Penang with PKR winning six and Pas two. Since the combined opposition has won at least 24 seats out of the 40 seats in the election, they will now be able to form their own state government. DAP's secretary-general Lim Guan Eng is believed to be the next chief minister of Penang.

The opposition has promised us all sorts of things including a brighter future and more development in Penang but whether they will keep up to their words or not depends on time. Only time can tell whether they have kept their promises. For the 1st time in history, the opposition has taken over Penang, the last being when Gerakan (back then an opposition party) won Penang almost 40 years ago. The Barisan Nasional party of course was shocked by the news that they have lost Penang to the opposition parties. I kept asking myself...are the oppositions really more calibre and effective to lead the country forward and promise all Malaysians a better future??? I'm doubtful whether our celebration of opposition's victory is a little too premature...i see many people celebrating the victory of the opposition without knowing whether they will transform their state for the better or worse. Fingers crossed, surely everyone hope that the opposition will bring us to greater heights and make Penang more well-known around the world but honestly, who knows what the future holds for our state and also our country. Comparing our situation with the UK's election in 1997 when the labour party won over the conservative party...i can see that British people actually trusted there to be a better future with the labour party as the manifesto given by the labour were certainly more appealing than those given by the conservative...People wanted the entrenchment of human rights and better transparency in the judiciary. That is the reason why they had voted for a government that promised them that and not surprisingly fulfilled all the promises made. However, we Malaysians are left with a changing to a government which we don't even know whether will they achieve the goals we want such as equal opportunity and more freedom of speech and human rights. Once again, only time will tell...we gotta wait for quite some time before eventually knowing the end results. If they have kept their promises, then of course, all the citizens will vote for them again in the next election and vice-versa.

Ahhh, enough about the election thingy, as for now i better concentrate on other better stuffs to do such as revising for my finals exam. This few days has been pretty hectic for me...so much things to do and so little time to complete it. Winter has finally come to an end and spring is here...woohoo!!! Although it's already spring, it's still so damn cold here in UK...the temperature outside right now is 6 degrees Celsius...though it feels much more colder than stated. That's all for now, will update my blog again soon. Ta-ta...;);)

~Childhood Memories~

2008-03-03T14:22:00.000-08:00

I had another strange dream last night...i dreamt of my primary school teacher who has taught me since Standard 1 to Standard 6 and her name is none other than Mrs. Giam. She practically taught me Pendidikan Seni when i was in Standard 1 and she was also my form teacher when i was in Standard 6 teaching my class and of course myself, Bahasa Malaysia. Oh yeah, besides that, i went to her tuition classes from Standard 1 to Standard 6 as well. I really miss the sweet childhood moments i had back then...those unforgettable memories will remain in my head forever. Sometimes, i really blamed myself for not going back to my primary alma mater to visit my favourite teachers such as Mrs. Giam, Ms. Soon, Mrs. Gooi, Mr. Suresh & also Ms. Tan Ai Li...arrghh, i miss all of them so much. I guess only those of you who are from St. Xavier's La Salle will know who i am talking about. I really regretted that i didn't take the iniative to go back to my primary school to visit them. I had planned to visit my primary school & secondary school once i return back home to Malaysia somewhere end of this year. I wish they will still be there...i gotta buy some goodies during my visit. ;);) One of the best years of my life has gotta be when i was way back in Standard 6. Well, since i am Mrs. Giam's pet, i was promoted to be a class monitor immediately after she has sacked Loh Fu Men (i guess all of you still remember him, right?). I still remember i was going round the classroom to return the books to my classmates when she sacks Fu Men in front of the whole class...of course i was stunned & shocked by this but at the same time, i am really happy since i was promoted to be a class monitor. I have been a class monitor twice, once in Standard 4 & once more as i had mentioned earlier, in Standard 6. When i as in Standard 4, i was Ms. Soon's pet...as usual i managed to suck up to her...but this time, my promotion to be a class monitor of class 4M was by the votes of my classmates, not by me sucking up. My best mates back then was Koay Shi Shen & Mohd. Daniel. I guess the only persons who can remember Mohd. Daniel is Yong Ming. Well, Mohd. Daniel was sitting beside me when we were in Form 1. Shortly after he left school (i forgotten the reason), Yong Ming came to sit next to me and we ended up fighting nearly everyday from that moment onwards. For those of who are in the same class as me during Form 1, (which is Ivan Teh, Chooi Hoe, Wei Loon & of course, Yong Ming himself) could any of you remember the time when Brother Paul needs to separate us because of our feud with each other??? Those childish moments makes me wanna laugh thinking back of it...i really miss those moments. Of course, i miss my life when i was in Form 4 & Form 5 too...miss Mrs. Lim Lee Eng & also Mrs. Helena Cheah...hmmm, i wondered what happen to her now?

Ok ok, i guess i should stop crapping for now...wanna sleep early dee. Shall blog again when i have the free time. Until then, take care...with lots of love from me. ;);)

~American Idol Mania AGAIN~

2008-02-28T13:58:00.000-08:00

As expected, David Archuleta was once again the clear leader among the men and of course, the ladies, on this week's American Idol Season 7. As Simon Cowell said after the teenager's performance, "he's the one to beat". Though it's early, Archuleta already has the judges raving and the girls (not forgetting the guys too) in the audience squealing. His rendition or should i said performance of John Lennon's "Imagine" was stunning...omigosh, this young men can really sing very well. My heart melts each time i hear him singing...i am so madly in love with him...he's so MINE (i am not sharing him with anyone else)!! =) =) Besides David, Michael Johns performance was actually quite impressive too...but of course, David Archuleta outshines him and everyone else in the whole competition. As for the female finalists, i still think the best has gotta be Ramiele Malubay or also known by her nickname as "Lullaby". Don't blame her vocals for her average performance this week, blamed the song choice as all the judges thinks so. Anyway, she's still second on my list of favourite finalists on American Idol Season 7...after the one and only David Archuleta, of course. That's all for now, i wanna sleep early because i have morning class tomorrow. Until then, take care & see ya...

P.S. It's not wrong being slutty once in a while, right?

~I Miss Malaysian Cuisine~

2008-02-28T12:55:00.000-08:00

I am already starting to miss Malaysian food although i've only been back in UK about one and the half month ago. I am so sick and tired of eating pasta, pizza, bread, coleslaw, pudding, pies and other types of western food for lunch & dinner. The only place where i could eat proper good meal is at the Chinese buffet restaurant, but hey, i wanna eat Malaysian food...not Chinese food!! There's no Malaysian restaurant here in Newcastle and i gotta travel all the way to London if i wanna have some Malaysian food. Hmmm, i wonder if there's any Malaysian food outlet which is nearer to Newcastle compared to London such as Manchester or Edinburgh. Someone please help me!! I am really craving for all the delicious food as shown below...can someone please send the food to me by FedEx???

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Curry Mee

Bak Kut Teh

Indian Banana Leaf Rice

Claypot Chicken Rice

~American Idol Mania~

2008-02-21T15:51:00.000-08:00

~*David Archuleta - Simply adorable*~

~*Ramiele Malubay - Simply fantastic*~

American Idol has gotta be my favourite reality television show ever...hey, i am an extremely huge fan of American Idol. My favourite seasons of American Idol are Season 4 (where Carrie Underwood won the show) & Season 6 (where the amazing and talented Jordin Sparks won the show). I've rooted for Jordin to win the competition eversince she managed to go into the Top 12 Performances of that show. Anyway, i am so frustrated that i can't watch American Idol Season 7 on telly...the reason being my accommodation office does not provide a television right here in our flat. Even if i were to buy a television and placed it in my room, i am not sure whether the UK television broadcasts channels even show American Idol on air...especially since here X-Factor is hotter compared with American Idol. But hey, don't get me wrong...it doesn't mean that i am completely ignorant of what is going on with Season 7 of American Idol because i am still able to watch the performances on YouTube and several other music blogs.

My favourite contestant by far is David Archuleta...omigowd, he has such a cute baby face and his voice sounds amazing (by the way, he's just only 17 years old). I just simply love his performances (including himself too) on American Idol. I wish he could eventually become the winner of this season's American Idol because I ADORE HIM SO SO MUCHHHHHHH!! ;);). As for the girls, i am rooting for Ramiele Malubay...the only asian girl (from the Phillippines but currently resides in the United States) in this season's American Idol. She has a really good voice too...and an asian has got to win this competition for once. But anyway, i still want David Archuleta to win...i am so obsessed with him at this moment and i am pretty sure the whole America is also lusting over this young boy. You can watch the Top 12 Male Performances of David and the Top 12 Female Performances of Ramiele below...enjoy!!!

~Those Were The Days~

2008-02-15T11:45:00.000-08:00

I had a strange dream a couple of weeks back...i dreamt that i started playing Magic cards once again after stopping for a very very long time. The main reason i stopped playing Magic cards and others, such as Pokémon cards & Harry Potter cards was because of several reasons. Firstly, time is too precious to be wasted on such things. Secondly, lesser people are interested in such games anymore and thirdly, it's too expensive to keep on buying such collectible card games. I still remembered the 1st type of collectible card game which got me so addicted has got to be none other than "Pokémon Trading Card Game". During back then, such card games were so so hot...as in many people were interested in such kind of things and that of course, included myself. I couldn't remember how much money i have spent on Pokémon cards but as far as i can remember, it's damn a lot!!! After my obsession with Pokémon cards has eventually wore off, suddenly there comes Harry Potter Trading Card Game which got me so hooked on. Luckily, my interest with Harry Potter card didn't sustained long enough. Then my obsession jumped towards Magic: The Gathering collectible card game. Well, i guess the amount of time & money i spent on Magic cards were almost the same as Pokémon cards. After playing all the three aforementioned card games, i finally decided to quit playing such kind of games due to the reasons which are stated at the beginning of this post.

However, a few days ago as i was doing some online shopping, i came across the section where they sells Pokémon cards. Out of a sudden, all the forgotten sweet memories of playing Pokémon cards started to trigger my mind. So, i click on the relevant section and started browsing through the Pokémon card game section. After much hesitation, i finally bought myself 6 Pokémon theme decks. Yup, you read right...i bought SIX decks, NOT booster packs!!! But of course since i have nobody to play with, i just bought the cards for collectible purposes. Sometimes, by looking at the cards, i feel more happy and relaxed...weird hmmm, but hey, you can't blame me cause those cards were part of my life back then.

I know it's kinda wasting money but i can't help it especially since i am so addicted to online shopping nowadays. On weekdays, after coming back from class, i just feel so lazy to go out from my place and on weekends, i feel even lazier by waking up late in the morning, or should i said 'afternoon'. So, most of my shopping (except groceries & clothes) are done through online shopping such as buying books, electrical items and et cetera. Do not expect me to walk to the city centre just to get one pathetic stuff...i will usually wait till all my groceries are finished before heading out to get new ones. The reason i am feeling so lethargic is probably due to the cold weather here and also because of the exhaustion from a long tiring hours of lectures in class. Anyway, that's all for now...shall blog again once i have the free time. Cheers...

~Happy Chinese New Year~

~Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner (Part 1)~

2008-02-05T12:08:00.000-08:00

It's only two days away from the most awaited festival of all time which is the Chinese New Year. This year i gotta celebrate Chinese New Year all by myself with the exception of being with my housemates and also my fellow classmates. So, today three of my housemates (the other three housemates were pretty busy at that time) and myself went to have dim sum at a very classy restaurant located in the heart of Chinatown. The restaurant is very elegantly decorated with lanterns hanging all over the ceiling and beautiful paintings hanging on the walls. We managed to treat ourself to a pleasant meal at this restaurant since it's gonna be Chinese New Year soon. As you can see from the pictures above, the portion of the dim sum we ordered were quite big compared to those we had in Penang. As for the taste, it's quite similar with those in Penang except for the Pai Kut here is absolutely mouth-watering. After meal, we went over to the Chinese supermarket for some last minute shopping to get some foodstuffs as we planned to organise an unforgettable dinner on Chinese New Year day. As for tomorrow which is Chinese New Year eve, my classmates invited me over to their place for steamboat...hmmm, having steamboat is perfectly suitable especially during winter. The weather should get warmer knowing that winter is coming to an end but i don't know why is it still co cold...shitty strong & chilling wind from the North Sea!!! How i wish i could be in Penang right now celebrating Chinese New Year with my family, relatives, friends and not forgetting my baby doggy. Anyway, that's all for now. This is just a very short post...shall blog again after Chinese New Year. Until then, take care.

P.S. Wishing everyone a Happy & Prosperous Chinese New Year 2008.

~Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!~

2008-01-21T11:36:00.000-08:00

This morning i woke up very early to accompany my housemate to the post office to post some things back to her family & friends in her country. When we left our place, it was raining very heavily (raining heavily here means just normal drizzle back in Malaysia) and the weather was super duper cold. So, we walked under the so-called "heavy rain" all the way to the post office and i was already freezing due to the extremely cold weather. A surprise stumbled upon us when we arrived at the post office. From the post office's window, i could see white snowflakes falling from the sky...yippies, it's snowing!!! Initially, it was just mild snowflakes falling but as time passes by, the snowflakes eventually evolved and turned heavier...too bad it's not heavy enough to turn the whole place white, damn!!!

After being miserable (due to missing home) for the past few days eversince i came back from Malaysia, seeing the snow actually helps brighten up my mood although this is my second time experiencing snow in UK. The first time i experienced it was way back in early December before i went back to Malaysia. However, the first time i saw the snow, it was very mild and didn't lasts long before it went into complete disappearance. This time, the snow was well...more worth it to be recorded in my mobile phone. Anyway, just see the video below...it was taken after i came back from the post office...it's the view from outside my room.

Play the video below to see some live-action snow:

Ok, some of my friends have posted up their review on their new semester or should i said their new year and i guess i should also do the same. Well, my second semester here in my university is just alright except for the fact that i have lecture classes everyday from Mondays to Fridays. Oh, it's so unfair that some of my other friends have only 3 days class per week...it's all because of the difference in the scheduling of our timetable. I only got 1 new subject this semester called 'Jurisprudence' and this subject has the ability to drive people nuts...some of my friends who took this subject in the 1st semester (we have the option to take it either in the 1st semester or 2nd semester) said it's totally disastrous as it is so difficult to understand and also very confusing. My only hope is that those of my classmates who have taken this subject will teach me whenever i needed help. Apart from that, everything else is just fine. By the way, i can't wait to get hold of my magazine which will be delivered all the way from Aussie. Anyway, that's all for now. Until then, take care & have a nice day... =) =)

~Cloverfield~

2008-01-18T02:17:00.000-08:00

The Official Theatrical Poster

I just can't wait to watch this awesome movie called 'Cloverfield'. This is the most awaited movie everyone is talking about...this movie has already been released in other parts of the world and will only be release in UK on the 1st of February. Gosh, i gotta wait for such a long time and it definitely sucks to wait!!! Cloverfield is currently the number one movie in the United States box office grossing $41,000,000 on its opening weekend, making it the most successful January release gross of all time. Isn't that spectacular? Hopefully this movie is worth the wait...for those of you who have watched it, please do let me know what are your views. Thanks.

You can watch the official trailer of this movie below:

~Finally~

2008-01-16T06:28:00.000-08:00

After a very long hiatus, i am finally updating my blog once again...the last time i updated this blog was on the 19th of October last year. Since then, i've been pretty busy (with all my damn courseworks) and also being lazy at the same time. What's up with me lately? Well, i spent the best time of my life back in Malaysia from the 7th of December 2007 till the 14th of January 2008. Time passes really fast because in a blink of an eye, i am finally back here in UK. For your information, i've been crying (literally) because i miss parents, my little doggy and also my close friends back in Malaysia. Life here in UK and life back in Malaysia is totally different from one another. Back home, i don't have to prepare my own meals, i don't have to wash up my plates after eating, i don't have to do laundry and et cetera. Here, i have to do everything from A-Z and it's making me go crazy. Studies here is also so tensed up, so much assigments to do, so many things to read and also so many seminars to attend. Such things keep me very busy until i don't have the time to go out with my classmates and my housemates so often anymore. For those of you who know me well enough, i am the sort of person who likes hanging out with my buddies such as watching movie together or even going out shopping together. Besides that, the extremely cold weather here is also killing me slowly...errgghh, i just hate the damn weather. The sky is always cloudy and gloomy looking...i need more sunlight please!!! I really just can't wait till i graduate later this year so that i can return back home...i really can't take it anymore here...someone please help me. I know when i first reach here last September, i kinda like the environment and also the people here (especially the enormous amount of eye-candies). I also remembered planning of settling down here (that's if i managed to find my true love partner, hehehe!!!) but all i want now is to go home to be with my family, my dog and my friends. Truthfully speaking, there's nothing wrong with life here in UK, it's just that i miss home so much at this point of my life. Eversince i arrived back here the day before yesterday (which was a Monday), i keep thinking of home...i wanna go home...home...home is the place i wanna be right now.

Anyway, back in Penang during my 5 weeks break, i managed to meet up with my best friends (thank God they are having holidays during that time). We went eating and eating non-stop, watching movies, shopping and also chatting endlessly about our life. Ahhh, i miss those moments so much. Hmmm, what else did i do? Oh yeah, besides spending quality time with my family, i also managed to help my aunt to move into her new condominium along Kelawei Road. Although i did not help to do all the heavy works such as painting the walls, scrubbing the floor and cleaning the windows, but at least i did carry the furnitures from her old place to her new place. I also took my aunt shopping for new lightings and also some other new furnitures which she wanted for her new place. I gotta admit that the view from her unit is just splendid...because her unit is facing the sea and it's on the 18th floor...the cool air is just so calming. But i guess the best moment i had when i was back in Malaysia is to stay at home with my parents and playing my with my cute little doggy...lazing around at home...staring blankly at the sky...and enjoying proper homecook food. As a few friends had advised me, it would only be a few more months before i am finally graduating and then, i get to return back to my lovely country once and for all. But who knows what the future holds for us...i might change my mind and plan to work here in UK just like one of my dearest friend, whom i miss so much...it's been so long since i last met you...when wanna let me come visit you? But most probably i will just return back home so that i can be with my family and friends...and not forgetting my little doggy too.

I am so looking forward towards my long holiday during Easter break...planning to travel to Los Angeles with my housemates...hopefully the plan will materialise and will not vanish into thin air or i will be so dissappointed. My dream eversince i was so small is to travel to the United States of America (Los Angeles to be precise, in hope of catching a real glimpse of celebrities especially my favourite idol of all time, Gwen Stefani) but it ain't that easy to identify a celebrity even if they are walking just beside you because they are damn good in making-up and disguising themselves...sigh...that's just all a dream...a dream i wish would come true this coming March...hopefully...fingers crossed.

That's all for now...hopefully this post is long enough to keep my beloved readers satisfied. From now onwards, i will try to update my blog more frequently and will not let it rot like it used to. Until then, see you...cheers...bye!!!

~Pictures, Pictures & More Pictures~

2007-10-19T07:50:00.000-07:00

Pictures below: My university, Northumbria University

I know it's been a long time since i last updated my blog...this week has been pretty hectic since i have so many seminars to attend and besides that, i have gotta prepare for those seminars. I heard that some of the lecturers here are quite strict when it comes to seminars and all students are expected to do lots of research and be prepared to answer questions during the seminars. If a student can't answer certain questions or refuses to give his opinions, the lecturer could ask that student to leave the class since he is unprepared and that's very humiliating. So, i gotta do lots of research and staying up tll late at night in the library as the library opens from 8am till 12 midnight. After 12 midnight, i will just go over to Pandon Building where there's a 24 hours computer study area to continue doing my research. For the past two days, i've been there till 3am in order for me to complete my seminars questions and that's the reason why i could not update my blog since blogging will take quite some time. Anyway, i've bought my own camera and i did take some beautiful pictures as can be seen above. Okie...gotta go already...shall blog again some other time because as for now, there's more work to be done. Bye!!!

~Beyonce Cancels Kuala Lumpur Show~

2007-10-01T16:00:00.000-07:00

Omigowd...Beyoncé Knowles is cancelling her debut performance in Kuala Lumpur on the 1st of November and instead she will perform in Jakarta. According to Yahoo! News, Beyoncé Knowles was reluctant to fulfill the Malaysian government's demand for female performers to cover up from the top of their chests to their knees, including their shoulders. The same thing happened to Gwen Stefani two months ago but at least Gwen was sporting enough to accept the demand made by Malaysian government. Alvin, i guess your dream of seeing her perform in Kuala Lumpur has been shattered into million of pieces...don't be sad, there's always a second chance where you will get to see her perform in the future. Luckily i am not a big fan of Beyoncé Knowles...although i do like some of her songs. I guess fans of Beyoncé Knowles from around Malaysia have been so dissappointed and devastated upon hearing the news that she will be cancelling her Kuala Lumpur show. Anyway, just read the article below which i have copied and pasted from Yahoo! News:-

"Beyonce Knowles has scrapped plans to stage her first concert in Malaysia and will instead perform in neighboring Indonesia, which has less stringent rules about how performers should dress and behave.

'The announcement followed recent speculation that Knowles — who is famous for her sexy image and skimpy outfits — was reluctant to fulfill the Malaysian government's demand for female performers to cover up from the top of their chests to their knees, including their shoulders.

International Creative Management, her Los Angeles-based talent agency, said Knowles' Nov. 1 date in Kuala Lumpur was canceled "due to a scheduling conflict."

"It is with regret that we announce the cancellation of The Beyonce Experience World Tour in Kuala Lumpur," said the statement, which was made available Monday by Malaysian entertainment organizers Pineapple Concerts. "It was to mark the very first time the performer would bring her show to Malaysia."

Knowles, 26, will perform in Jakarta on Nov. 1.

Pineapple Concerts Chairman Razlan Ahmad Razali said his company, which has brought Western acts such as Kanye West and Earth, Wind and Fire to Malaysia, was "disappointed and frustrated."

"Though Indonesia is also a Muslim country, it doesn't have all these issues that we have," Razlan told The Associated Press. "She can perform as she likes there."

Concert promoters have said Western performers face mounting pressure in Malaysia to keep skimpy clothes and steamy dance moves off the stage amid protests by conservative Muslims who believe liberal Western performances can corrupt young people.

Gwen Stefani made what she called "a major sacrifice" in August by wearing clothes that revealed little skin at a Kuala Lumpur stadium concert after Muslim students and activists called for the performance to be canceled due to the singer's sultry reputation."

~Life Goes On~

2007-09-30T14:56:00.000-07:00

Life here in UK have been pretty bizarre lately...strange things seem to happen to me and i am definitely not enjoying it...although for some few special occasions. Anyway, i get to see who my real friends are...those friends whom i have been relying upon during my 2nd year in college turns out to be jerks. Instead, those friends whom i am not close to during my days in college turns out to be really nice to me. Whenever, i am in need especially when i am crying over my dog, they will always lend me their shoulder...and yes, i still cry almost everyday whenever i think of my parents, my lovely dog and not forgetting my best pals back in Penang and those in KL too. Oh yeah, and there's one in Brisbane and another who is staying so close to me, in Manchester. By the way, thanks Yong Ming for calling me to calm me down when i was actually crying at that moment. True friends like them are extremely hard to find...and i do cherish our friendship a lot...i wish you guys are here with me. My friends here in UK are great but it's hard to trust them 100%...the most i can trust them is like 85%. It's hard to predict when they could turn behind your back and stab you without you knowing. For example, a close friend of mine was betrayed by another friend and he's feeling so dissappointed and sad for always believing her. Having warned him many times to be aware of this girl, he still treats her so well and put too much faith in her...and in the end, that's what the consequences is about. I really pity him but he should have listen to me earlier and he wouldn't have to regret now because it's already too late. But then, i will always support him no matter what happens because friendship plays a really important thing in my life. I really thank God for providing me with such incredible and wonderful friends back in Malaysia whom i know i can always trust. Our friendship will last till the very end...missing you guys so so much. I do agree with a close of mine who said that as time passes by, we get parted further and further away from each other. Who knows what the future holds for us...we can't predict what will happen in the next phase of our life...we might ended up getting married and have our own family and et cetera. I still remember when we were young...we used to said that we will go to the same university and stay at the same house when we are old one day and yes, it does seems more and more far-fetched day by day. How i wish we could still have as much fun as we used to had during our teenage life...doing all those crazy stuffs which are sometimes deemed to be illegal. We know that we will soon go our different ways one day but who knew it would be that soon...time really flies by quickly...in an blink of an eye, i've been in UK for more than two weeks already. Hopefully next time when we get married (if that really happens), we will still keep in contact with each other. As for me, i guess i will be staying here for approximately 3 years...1 year (which is this year) to finish my final year of degree, 1 year to do my Masters and another year to find a job here...and who knows, i might eventually settle down in UK if have i found myself a suitable partner whom will take great care of me...hahaha!!! The only thing i miss most about Malaysia are my parents, my dog, my friends and definitely the food there...oh, how i miss the fried koay teow, fried rice, laksa, hokkien mee, curry mee, wantan mee, char hor fun, chee cheong fun, jawa mee and many many more. Besides my friend's cooking (by the way, who is a good cook), I've been eating fast food such as McDonald's, KFC and Burger King nearly everyday since i've been here...errgh, i am so sick of all those of food...i need proper meals...and for the past few days, my friend have been so lazy to cook because she gets exhausted so easily after cooking for so many people...have some sympathy on her. I've been putting on so much weight due to the lack of exercise...no gyming here cause the membership fees is so bloody expensive...can't even go jogging because it's so cold. My studies have been quite smooth too except that i have classes everyday from Mondays to Fridays...back in my college, i only have 3 days class. Luckily my campus is located very near to my place...about less than 5 minutes walk. The weather here have gone mad lately, it's just autumn and the temperature here is freezing cold. I have to wear thick layers of clothes and i definitely look like a big furry ball...anyone wanna cuddle me? I will definitely go crazy by the time winter comes...anyway, i gotta stop bogging for now. Shall blog again soon...take care guys...bye!!!

~I Am In Love With My University~

2007-09-27T15:59:00.001-07:00

Everything here in my university is computerised. If you wanna reload your mobile phone, all you need to do is go to the vending machine and purchase your reload coupon from the vending machine...which save you lots of time and hassle then to go to the phone shop or convenient store just to purchase a reload coupon. Besides that, borrowing books from the library is also computerised...how cool is that? It's awesome...you can borrow up to 7 books per person for a full one month although there are some books which you can only borrow for 7 days. When you wanna borrow a certain book, all you need to do is to go to the machine, scan your student card and lastly, scan the barcode attached to the book and it's done...there's no need to line up to borrow books from the counter or whatever stupid shit! Back at my previous college in Malaysia, whenever i wanna borrow a book, i have to take the book to the counter and the library lady will have to stamp the date of return and we are only allowed to borrow 1 or 2 books for a maximum of 2-3 days per time. Not only that, the library here in my university is extremely huge...it has a total of 6 floors and there are also 6 elevators leading to all the floors. It's many many many times bigger compared to the public library in Penang. The best thing is that each book has about more than 10 copies each...so that students don't have to fight to get hold of a certain book. All sorts of registration or enrolment is done through online registration...no stupid old-fashion way of filling up forms. Oh yeah, all our assignment are to be received through online from our own webpage or better known as the "eLearning Portal". All students have their own webpage where the lecturers can communicate with. The technology here is super awesome...super cool...super fabulous. The food here in the university cafeteria serves one of the most delicious food ever and it's quite cheap too. There's even a Starbucks coffeehouse inside the cafeteria...fantastico. I am so madly in love with the advance technology here in UK...especially the technology of my university. Northumbria University which i am studying at is currently leading the way in Information Technology (IT) after being named the UK’s ‘Most IT-Enabled Organisation’. Anyway, enough blogging already...i gotta go get some sleep because i have class at 9am tomorrow morning...bye!!!

~Best Clubbing Experience Ever~

2007-09-27T10:15:00.000-07:00

Last night was the best night i ever had eversince i arrived here less than 2 weeks ago...i went clubbing here in UK for the first time...and it was superbly awesome. It was Shyam's birthday so he kinda invited us over to this club called YO DISCO to celebrate his birthday and have fun at the same time. The clubs over here provide free bus service if you purchase over a certain amount of entrance tickets...and my friend, Shyam invited approximately 30 of us...yup, you read right...there were 30 of us...the whole bunch of us went clubbing together and the entrance fees/charge was paid by the birthday boy. All i need to pay for was my drink...and yes, as usual i ordered a glass of coke which cost me 1.50 pounds. The soft drinks here are so bloody expensive...vodka cost only 1 pound per bottle and a Heineken beer only cost 80 pence per bottle. It surely was crazy...but it's still very much cheaper compared to the drinks sold at clubs back in Malaysia. Anyway, i was kinda nervous at first...thinking twice whether i should go to clubbing or not...because for fear that i am an Asian...or more commonly known here as brown skin people. I was worried that i could ended getting injured by some seriously racist local skinheads. But upon arrival at the club, everyone there was very friendly...unlike clubbing in Malaysia, people here will dance with you eventhough you don't know them at all...they will invite you to dance with them. As i walking to the toilet, there were two guys who invited me over to dance with them and i kinda agreed. So, we kinda danced for a little while till one of the guy grabbed my hands and pulled me towards the toilet...i sensed something was going very wrong...i thought i am a gonner for sure and they are gonna beat me up due to the fact that they are racist and they don't like chinese. But i was so so so shocked that they nearly rape me...yup, believe me...it was a horrifying moment at that time...i am not lying. He pushed his pants right towards me but before he could remove his pants, i got freak out...i tried to run away but the other guy held me so tightly...held my hand for your info...not somewhere else. I was so scared at the moment...i didn't know what to do...and i tried to gave excuses that my friends are waiting for me to go back to the table. At last, after much hesitation, the other guy agreed to let me go...and i ran like a mad dog back to my table and complained to my friends. After that, i didn't see the two guys anymore...i guess they went sumwhere else already. After that, i continued dancing and performing my raunchy moves throughout the night. I know you guys reading my blog will think i am so stupid to avoid such a good opportunity to get laid, but in reality, it really freaks me out. In my opinion, the two guys were drunk...but probably not too...i don't know and don't care whether they are drunk or not...i just tried my very best to run away as far as possible. Guys, this is not a make-up story...it's real...for heaven sake...and for those of you who know me well enough, you know that i am not a boaster. This experience is true...and thinking back, maybe i should have accepted the offer because both the guys are quite gorgeous too...hahaha!!! Anyway, that happened in a straight club...what will happen if i have gone to a gay & lesbian club...which is located just opposite of the club we went to. I didn't think that such things could happen to me last night. I went there with the intention of looking at some eye-candies and dancing all night long and at the same time, celebrate my friend's birthday. Okie, i guess i better than stop blogging for now...wanna go to Chinatown to have my buffet dinner already...yummies...blog some other time...bye!!!

~This Is The Most Craziest Shit Ever~

2007-09-18T15:33:00.000-07:00

Woah...today me and my friends went shopping at Morrisons to buy some foodstuffs to cook for dinner. We bought so many things till the trolley cart is full of our groceries. We were suppose to take a bus back to my friend's accommodation (where we always gather there for lunch and dinner) but we ended up walking back instead of taking the bus. And the craziest thing we did was to push the whole trolley cart back to her accommodation...about a kilometre walk from the shopping centre back to the accommodation. Holy shit!!! Everyone walking on the street kept staring at us...some even laugh at us...i have no where to hide my face...it's the most humiliating thing that i have ever done in my entire life. Luckily it's not me who have to push the trolley cart...it's my bestest pal here at Newcastle, Alan from Hong Kong who has to do the dirty and embarassing job. I guess Hong Kong people have really thick face for being so daring to do such a shameful act. Imagine guys, pushing as supermarket trolley cart back to the accommodation was unbelievable and hilarious too at the same time. Well, i guess this experience will last in my memory for a very very long time...the day that i will never forget for doing such an embarassing thing. The worse part was that we never return the trolley cart back to the supermarket...we just kinda left it outside my friend's accommodation and ran our asses back up to her room...which means that we kinda stole the trolley cart...i wonder what will happen should the police found out or something like that. I really could not imagine...hahaha!!! But we have no choice...it's just to heavy to carry so many stuffs back to my friend's place and it's really a hassle to carry so many things to catch a bus back...so the best thing to do is to push the whole trolley back with us. Anyway, enough about the trolley cart topic...i should move on to something more serious. One of my friend told me that we will know who our true friends are upon arriving in UK. I totally agree with her...what she said is so true...thanks AK for being so concern. The person i thought was a great friend to me turned out to be a donkey ass...a useless piece of junk...who knows nothing but to criticize and condemn people non-stop. I know this person likes to joke a lot but he gotta has a limit to it...he jokes non-stop day & night and he doesn't know whether that joke will hurt other people's feelings or not. I vow to myself from today onwards i should stay further away from this guy...errghh, i just hate him so much right now although he didn't know that i am hating him so much at this moment...enough about him too!!! As for now, i really wanna take this precious moments to show how much i care and miss my parents, my lovely dog, my brothers, my relatives and also my best friends back in Malaysia. Guys, i miss you all so so much...keep thinking about you all...Ivan Lee, Ivan Teh, Wei Loon, Alvin, Chooi Hoe, Kee Hong and not forgetting Jee Mee who is currently very close to me, in Manchester and also Yong Ming, who is currently in Australia. I also wanna thank God and my parents for giving me the opportunity to study in UK although it's just one year...please let me practice my British Vocational Course here after i have graduated...please...please. I am loving Newcastle day by day and i am even planning to have a UK permanent resident status here. But don't worry, i shall go back to Malaysia for holidays whenever i am free...because i miss everyone back there...love all of you...sobs...sobs...i am crying right now. Hope you are all doing fine. Anyway, the weather here is so cold...especially when the winds blow at your direction...i guess it really is an Early Winter in UK...the temperature during the day time has gone below 10 degrees celcius and i am freezing every hour, every minute and every second. Okie guys, i should stop blogging already...i gotta wake up early tomorrow morning to go to open my bank account at HSBC bank and i also need to go to the General Practitioner to do some medical checkup which is compulsory for all Northumbria University students. That's all for now...take care...bye!!!

~Newcastle Is Awesome~

2007-09-17T13:37:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, i am back. I've been so busy this few days...have been going out from morning till late at night. My different group of friends kept inviting me over for dinner at their place. Yesterday, i went over to a friend's house for dinner with several of my closest friends and shockingly, there were like 7 westerners already there...2 of them are from Sweden, 1 from Italy, 1 from United States and the other 3 are local people. So, without any choice, we had to had dinner together with them...they seem so racist at first...but as time passes by, we got along very well. There were like a total of 15 people in the whole flat and you could imagine how noisy we were. Me being the shy one didn't talk too much at first but then, i didn't want them to think that i am a stuck-up person, so i have to join in the conversation. The guy from Italy is so damn hot...wearing the scarf around his neck...he looks like a real male model. I kept staring at him but luckily, he didn't realised that i was actually so into him. He's my new crush...Ricardo is his name...so guys, please remember that i officially have no more feelings for Aze and my new target is Ricardo. He's not pure Italian, he's a mix between Italian and Dutch...and i must admit, European guys are way hotter than Brazilians. Anyway, the dinner was great because i managed to make new friends and get lots of information about the various people from different backgrounds and cultures. As for today, my class officially starts at the brand new state-of-the-art campus which costs 100 million pounds to built and it's amazing and magnificient. Met some of our lecturers and they are really friendly too. Before i came over to UK, there were rumours saying that the lecturers here don't care about the students and et cetera...but that's not the case. The lecturers here are friendly and they are willing to help the students if they need any trouble. We were forced to choose our subjects by today...no extra time given...what the fuck??? They should allow us at least some days to think and closely analysed the subjects that we are going to take. So, i ended up choosing Family Law, Employment Law and Civil Liberties as my full option subjects and Intellectual Properties and Jurisprudence as my half option subjects. I am practically satisfied with the choices that i have made but i have to wait a little longer to see whether i have any regrets or not...fingers crossed, hopefully not. Dinner today was at Eric's house, and yes he has two cute ah moh guys staying at his house and one ah moh girl who is a lesbian. Although the two ah moh guys are cute, i am not into them either as i am only faithful to Ricardo from now onwards...hahaha, like i ever will be faithful to just one person. And this ah moh girl's lesbian partner is very beautiful...i guess she could also turn any gay guys straight...shit!!! And the best part is that they share the same name...Sarah...omigowd, which reminds me of the fucking Sarah back in Penang. Dinner tonight wasn't that great cause we only have bacon and egg sandwiches...and i am definitely not full enough. Seriously, after coming here, i am more and more slutty day by day...cause there's hot guys and girls too everywhere on the road. It's probably a good thing so that i will get bored soon looking and staring at them but i doubt i will ever get bored. ;) Oh yeah, i forgotten to mentioned that shopping here is splendid...it's like a shopping heaven here at Newcastle...everything here is so damn cheap if you didn't convert it back into Ringgit Malaysia. I am falling in love with Newcastle as time passes by and i planned to work and settle my life here after i have finished studying....guess i won't be returning back to Malaysia unless for holiday purpose...honestly. However, the bad thing about here is that the weather is extremely cold...yesterday and today have been particularly cold...i guess it's below 10 degrees celcius even in the afternoon. And according to the weather forecast, the temperature during the night is as low as 4 degrees celcius...it's fucking cold here...everyone has to wear thick layers of clothes and it's only autumn now. Imagine how cold the weather will be during winter. But the ah mohs here can stand the weather because they are already used to it. They can just wear one t-shirt and walk around without having to worry about the cold weather...i really do admire them. Although i have arrived here on friday, i still haven't got all my necessities yet...such as pots, pans, oil, butter, sugar, salt, pepper and et cetera...have been really busy shopping for other stuffs until i forgotten to purchase all my necessities. Among the things which i had bought is a new mobile phone (Sony Ericsson K800i), brand new clothes and lots of toiletries products. Anyway, enough about the boring stuffs...onto the more interesting stuffs...did you know that the clubs here everyday? And one of the club is so near to my accommodation that i can actually hear people screaming and throwing bottles of beer on the floor after clubbing...perhaps they are just too drunk to care about their surrounding circumstances. My evil friends have been persuading me to go drinking with them but i just simply refused to follow them due to the fact that i don't drink alcoholic drinks and also for fear of my own safety should there be any fights happening in the club or bar. Ok guys, i guess i should stop blogging already, gotta sleep early tonight because i am so tired and exhausted...shall blog again soon. Keep checking my blog for future updates...and don't worry, i will post up pictures as soon as i have the free time to upload the pictures to my computer. So, until then, bye!!!

~A Brand New Life in Newcastle, Part 2~

2007-09-14T23:29:00.001-07:00

I am back sooner than expected...cause i am so bored right now sitting in my room doing nothing. It's only 7.30 in the morning and i am already awake...guess my body's biological clock still hasn't adapt to the local time here. I slept quite late last night becuase i was busy chatting with all my housemates...they were extremely friendly. I was busy surfing the internet in my room when i suddenly heard a knock at my room door. When i opened the door, all of them greeted me and we ended chatting for more than 2 hours. I guess the most talkative guy has got to be the Bruneian guy whom i presumed will be my close friend in the near future. We have so much in common...and yeah, he likes clubbing too but too bad he's so darn straight cause he keeps talking about hot chicks. My mouth got so tired that i have to end our conversation first by saying that i have to sleep already because i am so tired. Back in Penang, i am like the most talkative person but when i am here, i just lose to all my housemates except one guy from Hong Kong who is quite shy. But the more we talk, the more things he had to say. I am really really grateful that i got such nice people as my housemates, and i actually don't bother if i didn't get any westerners staying with me. My housemates are great people and i appreciate it. Later, i am going shopping with my friends to get some more things such as winter clothings, a new mobile phone, some toiletries products and some foodstuffs. Gotta go to the departmental store where they sell really cheap clothes which is of course, good quality too...it's something like F.O.S. and Reject Shop back in Malaysia. My friend told me that clothes sold there ranges from 2 pounds to 5 pounds, shoes cost less than 10 pounds and et cetera...and oh yeah, the Body Shop products here are so cheap unlike in Malaysia...someone would be so jealous right now...hahaha...don't worry, when i come back next year, i promised to buy some Body Shop products for you. ;) Anyway, i will continue blogging again later tonight when i come back from my shopping spree...as for now, i wanna go take my shower and have my breakfast already. I am gonna cook my first breakfast here...still haven't figure out what to cook yet...most probabbly have to eat Maggi noodles...sad...sobs. Bye!!!

~A Brand New Life in Newcastle, Part 1~

2007-09-14T10:50:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone, it's been a long time since i last updated my blog. I have been very busy for the past few weeks due to my preparation to leave for UK. After nearly 20 hours journey time from Malaysia to UK, i finally arrived at Newcastle airport at around 12.30pm local time. A friend of mina and myself was greeted by a team of greeter called the "Meet & Greet" team from our university, Northumbria University upon arrival at the airport. They were very friendly and they welcome us with open hands. Then, we were taken to the accommodation office where we have to fill up a registration form and finally, they took me to my accommodation, Glenamara House. The flat unit i am staying at contains 6 rooms, a kitchen and 3 bathrooms. My room is located just beside the main entrance to my flat unit. Basically, it's a very nice room...it has a big study table, a comfortable lying chair, a wardrobe, a single bed and a personal hand basin. I am quite impressed with my room and i guess i can get used to it earlier than expected...i'm lovin' it. My housemates are great too...thank you God fulfilling my wish...three of them are from Hong Kong, one from Taiwan and another one from Brunei Darussalam...and he's so so hot...thanking God again. They are very friendly and we kinda chatted for a while. The next time you guys see me, i can speak fluent cantonese already...hahaha. After taking shower and resting for a short while, i went shopping with my friend to buy a bedsheet, pillow, duvet and a bolster...too bad that this accommodation does not provide bedding services...i have to buy them all and it's really expensive. Then, we went to the electronic gadgets store to look at some digital cameras and mobile phones...to my surprised, mobile phones sold in UK are very much cheaper than it is being sold in Malaysia even after converting it back into Ringgit Malaysia. After that, we went for dinner at McDonald's which is located just beside the electronic gadgets store...which was my first meal here in Newcastle. Call me stupid but in my opinion, the food served at McDonald's in Malaysia is much better compared to the one served here. The burger i bought was hard and the french fries is nearly tasteless...and the diet coke tasted different too. I won't be eating McDonald's again anytime soon. Eventhough i have my entire classmates here with me, i still feel very lonely due to the fact that i am a minority here at Newcastle...the ratio of an Asian citizen to a local citizen is 1:10...left, right, front, back...everyone is pure English unlike in London, where you can see different races of people anywhere on the streets. However, i must admit that English people are very very friendly and good-mannered...oh yeah, there are lots of handsome guys and pretty ladies at every corner of the road...i can just faint every few seconds...honestly. The weather here is very cold although it's still autumn...in the afternoon it's about 17 degrees celcius and during the night, it could drop down to below 10 degrees celcius...i'm freezing right now but thankfully i have a heater inside my room. I wouldn't dare to imagine what will happen to me during the winter. Anyway, i shall post up pictures of my room and the surrounding scenery of the place i am staying at when i have the free time to do so...as for now, i wanna go take unpack my stuffs first...still haven't finish unpacking yet. Shall blog again some other time. Take care...bye!!!

P.S. Thanks i.t.ch. for dedicating a post for me in your blog...i appreciate it. ;)

~Awesome Performance by Gwen Stefani~

2007-08-23T08:37:00.000-07:00

The main entrance to Gwen Stefani's concert.

The gift shop which sells only original Gwen Stefani's merchandises.

Lots of hardcore fans outside the main entrance waiting to enter the stadium where the performance is being held.

I attended Gwen Stefani's concert performance on Tuesday night at Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil. All i can said is that her performance is damn awesome...she looks so pretty onstage and her voice is just superb. Gwen definitely has the ability to turn straight girls into lesbians and gay guys into straight ones. All the girls are so crazy over her...shouting her name out loud non-stop throughout the whole performance. And yes, even the gay guys screamed just as loud as the girls...of course, i did shout very very loud too...until i nearly cracked my voice. Well, i can't help it...i am so on love with her...someone please help me!!! Until this very moment, i am still thinking of her. I can't wait to go for another of her performance at Newcastle on the 23rd of September...call me crazee but i don't care. Anyway, i arrived Bukit Jalil about 2 hours before the show started...so, basically i walk around the stadium doing nothing but taking pictures of the surrounding area. I was so happy until i read at the notice board stating that no cameras and camcorders are allowed inside the stadium when the performance is going on...what the fuck!!! Omigowd, it completely destroys my mood...because i was planning to capture lots of Gwen's picture and also record her performance on my digital camera. But i didn't let such small matter ruin my whole evening as i tried to overcome my so-called depression. By 7.30pm, we were already allowed to enter the hall where the performance is being held...i waited until 9pm before Gwen's performance actually begins. I thought that there would be some local artist doing the opening act before Gwen actually starts performing but it turns out that wasn't the case...meaning that there wasn't any opening act for her. By 9pm sharp, the spectacular concert begins and everyone was so hyperly energetic including myself. She started off by singing The Sweet Escape continued by Rich Girl, Yummy, 4 in the Morning, Luxurious, Early Winter, Wind It Up, Danger Zone, Hollaback Girl, Wonderful Life, Now That You Got It, Don't Get It Twisted/Breakin'Up, Cool, Orange County Girl, The Real Thing and lastly, What You Waiting For?. All Gwen's fans including myself particularly enjoyed The Sweet Escape, Wind It Up (in my opinion, her best performance of that night), 4 in the Morning, Early Winter, Yummy, What You Waiting For?, Hollaback Girl, Cool and Danger Zone. When singing Cool, she even ran round to the back of the stadium to entertain her fans...it shows how much she cares for her Malaysian fans. I definitely did not regret at all by going to see her live in Kuala Lumpur...it's just too good to be true...seeing her live in front of thousands of her fans who went wild over her...and one of them is definitely me. Oh yeah, she even mentioned to the crowds that she is practically a Malaysian too because her father-in-law's wife of more than 20 years is from Malaysia. Everyone in the stadium went mad and cheered extremely loud upon hearing those statements...until the whole stadium nearly collapsed. She also said that she spent the whole day visiting her Malaysian relatives with her super-cute baby, Kingston and tasted great Malaysian food. Besides that, in order to show her humbleness, she even introduced the four Harajuku Girls, her background male dancers and also the members of her band...how sweet is that? The performance was supposed to end at around 10.25pm but the whole audience wasn't fully satisfied and everyone requested for an encore, and so she performed another two songs which was The Real Thing and What You Waiting For? to further entertained her hardcore fans. The performance finally came to an end at around 10.40pm. Everyone left the stadium feeling extremely satisfied and happy. Anyway, i gotta go sleep already. Shall continue blogging about Gwen in my next post. Logging off...bye!!!

~Gwen Stefani Is Arriving Pretty Soon~

2007-08-09T22:18:00.000-07:00

Gwen Stefani will be coming to Kuala Lumpur in eleven days time...and me being her hardcore fan still haven't bought the ticket to her spectacular debut concert...what a shame!!! I've been really busy throughout this whole week and also last week due to so many things which i had to endure such as my finals examination and also the upcoming college prom. And the worse part is that i can't find anyone who is willing to follow me to her concert performance at Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil. This means that i'll be all by myself...so sad ;(. But who cares about being lonely when i am for sure gonna enjoy myself throughout the concert...being entertain by my favourite idol. Since i am staying in Penang, i can't purchase Gwen's concert ticket here...the tickets are being sold only in KL...so stewpid...what about Gwen's fans here in Penang, does that mean we need to go all the way to KL just to purchase the tickets...such a hassle!!! Luckily i got two friends whom i can count on to buy the ticket for me...you guys are willing, right? Some of my friends are urging me to watch her concert later on when she performs in UK...where she is permitted to wear more revealling outfits...hehehe!!! I'll be leaving for UK in middle of September and most probably i could catch her performance on the 23rd of September at Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle upon Tyne...because it's actually quite close to the university which i'll be going to study this coming September. Because of that, now i am actually having second thoughts on whether i should go for Gwen's concert here in Kuala Lumpur or in UK...can someone please help me to decide...i am in a dilemma!!! The VIP sitting tickets are being sold out too...so if i would to go for Gwen's concert in KL, i can't purchase the VIP sitting tickets anymore...i really feel like crying...sobs...sobs. Anyway, i should stop blogging now because it's nearly time to go out to meet a friend...shall blog some other time...bye!!!

~Determination Is The Key To Success~

2007-08-09T07:29:00.000-07:00

The above title of this post is totally true...if we wanna achieve something in life, we gotta have the determination to get it. Without determination, no matter how hard a person tries to obtain certain things in life...he will still not get it. And the only way to be successful in life is through determination... i.e. determination is the key to success. Anyway, i guess i better stop crapping. Today was a fun day because i managed to watch 2 movies in a row with Trish...Rush Hour 3 & The Simpsons. Rush Hour 3 was just okie...not that nice...and not too bad...if you guys are up for some laughter, go ahead and watch this show. For those of you who don't really like watching comedies...forget about this show. Oh yeah, gotta admit that there are some very beautiful girls in this movie...just in case any of you are interested...hahaha!!! After that, we watched The Simpsons. I preferred The Simpsons over Rush Hour 3 because...because...well, because this animated cartoon has been my favourite cartoon series of all time and there has been lots of good reviews from various professional critics on this film. Since i am a big fan of The Simpsons series, i personally give this film a very positive review. I know this film has been in theatres for about a week ago but i only get to watch it today because i've been pretty busy during the past week. At least i get to watch the premier screening of Rush Hour 3 today...hehehe!!! After watching these two movies, i went back to gym for two sessions of workout before finally heading home. Aze's class was as usual...AMAZING!!! Although his class was amazing, i still got distracted because of this really really hot and gorgeous guy...whom i made so much eye-contact with. Okie, although he wasn't really looking at me all the time...but he always catches me staring right at him...especially towards the ending of Aze's class...when i stared so long at him and he kinda stared back at me...thus, knowing that i am looking at him, or should i said " knowing that i am interested at him". Omigowd, i really have no place to hide my face...it's so bloody embarassing. After Aze's class ended, and when we both entered the locker room...i didn't even dare to look at him at all...all because of the huge embarassment. I guess i can't look at him anymore from now onwards...and i also managed to find out that he is a really perasan guy...thinking all the girls and gay guys are looking at him (not forgetting the straight guys too) just because he's hot. But it's true...he's really handsome and drop-dead-gorgeous. Anyway, this post marks the first time i am being so "extrovert/open" in my blog...hahaha!!! I also have no idea why all of the sudden i have the courage to write such things in my blog...i guess it's because no matter how far and how hard you (which includes me and everyone else in this world) try to run from true ourselves, we still can't avoid it. Just a reminder, although i am being extrovert in my blog...that doesn't necessarily mean that i am also an extrovert person in public...i am still the same old me ;). Gotta go for now, will blog some other time...bye!!!

~Exam Fever Finally Over~

2007-08-01T11:21:00.000-07:00

Woohoo!!! My finals examination for the second year is finally over...i am so damn happy right now. Today was my last paper and from now until the announcement of my results, i am as free as a bird. My freedom which have been "captured" or "locked up" has finally been released after weeks of struggling in the cage. Ok, let me review on how i did for each and every subjects of my exams...readers beware, you are gonna be bored. Well, the first paper which was Equity & Trust was quite averagely done, i guess...because i am able to answer properly all 3 questions. The second paper which was Public law was much easier (in my opinion) compared to Equity & Trust...however due to the lack of time, i only did 1 full page for my last question, thus being unable to finish in the allocated time. The third paper which was Law of Evidence was a bit messed up...although my lecturer did gave the exact questions coming out for exam. I still find it a bit difficult...once again due to time management. I could not finish the third question...worse still, i only managed to write half a page. The last & final paper which was Law of Tort (which i sat for today) was mediocre...i have enough time for this paper but i faced some difficulties while i was doing my third question...out of a sudden, i forgotten the relevant cases which i had to write down for this particular question...shit!!! I kept knocking my head but my memories don't seem to come back...i cried (not literally though)...i could have earn some extra marks if i had laid down the cases. Anyway, i will not regret the things which had past...i am only looking forward from this moment onwards. After my exams, i rushed home to take a shower and rushed back immediately to Gurney Plaza to meet up with my classmates. We wanted to enjoy ourselves as much as possible...especially since we had gained back our freedom. The craziest thing which i had ever done in my entire life is probably by watching 3 movies in a row with my classmates...non-stop. We have to pay for the tickets...not freebies. But we couldn't bother about the money, we just needed to enjoy ourselves. The first movie that we watched is "Dead Silence"...which was really scary looking at all those horrifying dolls...the movie was just okie...nothing special...and the worse part is, there's no suspense at all. You will know when the scary part arrives...and that's not shocking at all. This movie deserves a rating of 2.5/5...just average. So, if any of you are planning to watch this movie...don't bother wasting your time and money. The second movie we watched was "Vacancy" which deserves a rating of 3.5/5. This movie is much better compared to the first movie...lots of thriller and suspense too...which stars Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale. Kate's performance was great...she has always been one of my favourite actress in the Hollywood film industry. This movie is about a couple's car which broke down in the middle of nowhere and they decided to spend the night in a motel with a creepy manager. They discover that the low-budget slasher movies they're watching on TV were all filmed in the exact room they're staying in and are actually snuff films that they are about to become a part of...the story continues with them trying to escape the motel in order to rescue themselves. As i was enjoying watching the movie...and at the most intense part of the movie, suddenly i heard the sound of some sort of siren alarming...and i thought it was part of the sound effects of that movie. Suddenly just below the movie screen, i could see red lights flashing brightly...along with the sound of siren alarming. Then, i saw people standing up quickly rushing out of the cinema. Uncountable number of people rushed out from different rooms of the cinemas thinking there was a fire or something like that...i think there were about more than hundred people rushing out. Then, everyone starts questioning the employees of GSC about what had happened and they told us that the alarm rang due to some pranks played by a useless bastard. Apparently, that useless bastard pressed the security alert button and left the scene immediately...hoping to see some chaos and well, his wish did came true. After the whole chaos or should i said the "drama" had subsided, everyone returned back to their own respective cinemas in an unpleasant and angry mood...all thanks to that stupid bastard. By the time my classmates and myself managed to get back watching the movie, we had wasted about fifteen minutes of the entire movie...especially at the most thrilling and intense scene. Once again, i am so pissed because of that whole incident...the cinema should have just refunded our money...if not full, at least half of our money. After this movie has ended, we still have the urge to continue watching another movie for the third consecutive time. So, we bought tickets to watch "The Invisible", which was way much better compared to the earlier two movies we had watched. This movie stars the gorgeous Justin Chatwin and the beautiful Margarita Levieva, whom is a Russian actress. Anyway, this movie is about a high school student, Nick Powell, who is assaulted and left for dead after being incorrectly blamed for turning in a criminal. However, he fails to “cross over” to the afterlife but instead remains in between life and death, thus becoming literally invisible. As an invisible being, Nick watches helplessly as his mother and the police search for his attacker. Unbeknownst to them, he is just hours away from perishing: Nick must find his attacker, Annie, before his body expires. This is such an amazing movie and it deserves a rating of 4.25/5. The actors and actresses played their roles very well too...i strongly advised my friends to go watch this movie. The only bad thing about this movie that the time length is quite short...just roughly about 1 hour and 37 minutes...good movies like this should have a time length of more than 2 hours...hahaha!!! I guess i will log off for now...my friend need to use the computer already (by the way, i am staying overnight in my friend-cum-classmate's house and i am blogging using his computer). Shall blog again soon and more often since my exams are over. Take care. ;)

~Speechless & Damn Piss I Am Right Now~

2007-07-31T06:08:00.000-07:00

Omigowd, omigowd...i just read an unbelievable news headline on Yahoo! Music...and to my horror, the National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students are actually urging the organizers to ban Gwen Stefani's upcoming Asian tour right here in Malaysia...all because of her so-called "indecent dressing and obscenity". I know i should be studying at this moment for my last exam paper tomorrow but then, i thought to myself that i could spend some time resting by surfing the internet...thus, releasing my stress and tension. However, immediately after reading this piece of news, my mood was completely destroyed and my heart was shattered into millions of pieces...and i think i could burst into tears at this point of the moment. I've been looking forward towards her upcoming debut live concert in Kuala Lumpur and then, suddenly my dreams and hopes are gone...just in a blink of an eye. They even threatened to ask the authorities to intervene if the organizers do not cancel the concert...what the fuck are they thinking about??? They are brainless...literally...they are only concern for their ownselves...have they ever think about Gwen Stefani's hardcore fans...just like myself...and yes, i am a total hardcore fan Gwen Stefani. Just ask any of my friends and they will know how much i am obsessed with her and how much i adore her. But luckily the decision to cancel Gwen's concert has not been confirm yet...so i pray to God that the lawful authorities and the organizers (the main organizer being Maxis) would allow her to perform here, in my lovely country. Maybe i should stop blogging for now...will continue further tomorrow after i have finished my exam...i am cursing them again right now...stewpid...stewpid...plain stewpid...and brainless too. Logging off...bye!!!

Anyway, just read the article below i have copied and pasted from Yahoo! Music.

Malaysia should pull the plug on the Kuala Lumpur leg of U.S. singer Gwen Stefani's upcoming Asian tour because of her indecent dressing and obscenity, a Muslim students' group said on Tuesday. The 10,000-strong National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students said Stefani's August 21 concert, which is part of her 'Sweet Escape' tour, would clash with local Asian and Islamic values. "Her video clips promoting the event are too obscene," Mohamad Hilmi Ramli, the group's president, told Reuters. "We want the organizers to cancel the concert, failing which we will ask the authorities to intervene." Ethnic Malays, who are by definition Muslims, make up just over half of Malaysia's 26 million people. Ethnic Chinese and Indians, who are mostly Buddhists, Christians or Hindus, form sizeable minorities. Hilmi also criticized Malaysian mobile phone firm Maxis Communications for promoting the concert." Maxis has been staging a series of foreign acts ... to make a profit and to expose our young generation to things such as moral decay," he said. Maxis officials could not be immediately reached for comment.

~Exam Fever Once Again~

2007-07-10T09:03:00.000-07:00

Holy crap, my finals examination is in two weeks time...i really can't believe how time flies by. In just a blink of an eye, my second year degree programme is finally coming to an end...which i have been waiting for so damn long. It's not that i dislike it, it's just that i hope to graduate as soon as possible and come out to find a decent job. However, I still haven't decide on my future career yet. Although i am taking a law degree programme, it doesn't mean that i want to be a lawyer or an attorney or anything to do with the word L-A-W. My main vision is to venture into human resource department in hopefully a high profile firm/company but then, as always, my vision can change from time to time. How i wish somebody can help me to decide on my future career...i'm totally hopeless when it comes to this particular matter...:( Anyway, my current post as the President of my college's law society will also be coming to an end in about approximately two months where we will be holding our Annual General Meeting to select new committee members for the coming new term. Oh, i just wonder who will be the next President of the law society...being the law society's President has been one of my greatest achievements so far. Ever since i have been voted to be the President, i have known so many new friends...when i said many, it really means a lot more than you can imagined. And the best part is, you get people's respect and it definitely feels great. There is only one con of being a President, which is carrying all the burdens all by yourself...there is a saying which says that "with great powers, come great responsibilities". However, i try not to look at the negative side and focus only on the brighter side. I will definitely miss the moments of myself being the President of the law society in my college.

Anyway, today has been a great day for me...my society organised a visit to the Penang High court which is located inside the Northam Tower building. There were a total of 33 students including myself and two lecturers from our college, namely Mr. Kevin and Ms. Jane. This is my second time visiting a court, my first time was visiting the Federal Court or more commonly known as Palace of Justice in Putrajaya some time back last year. Back to today's court visit...we gathered at the entrance of the court and then we went up to the 3rd floor of the court building at around 8.30am. We were given some brief information about the court's rules & regulations. After that briefing, we were split into three different groups consisting of 11 students each. I was in charged of the first group of students where we were designated to the Traffic Offences & Magistrates hearing. Mr. Kevin was to take lead of the second group where they were designated to the civil offences hearing while lucky Ms. Jane took the third group to the criminal offences hearing. I really wish that my group could go to the criminal offences hearing as that would be much more interesting and fun. But once again, i have to look at the bright and positive side...going to the Traffic Offences and Magistrates hearing wasn't as boring as it seem to be. At least i managed to gain lots of important information regarding traffic offences and the punishments given to the various offenders. For those of you who is reading my blog right now...please be aware not to drink too much alcohol especially if you are the one driving home. If the police catches you consuming too much alcoholic drinks aka "exceeding the permitted limit of alcohol", you could be in grave danger...because you might end up paying a huge amount of fine or worse still, you could be send to prison. So, please do not drink & drive...this is a safety community message brought to you by -Kelvin-...hehehe!!! I am so thankful that i managed to organise this meaningful visit to the court...there's just so much things that i had learned about the proceedings in the court and et cetera. The whole process ended at approximately 11.45am and immediately after that, i went home to take a short nap before heading back to college for class lectures which started at 2.30pm and ended at 8.30pm. After my class had ended...i sped off immediately to gym to attend Aze's Abs & Stretch class...amazingly, i didn't suffer any serious pain after that workout...maybe i am already used to all the tortures and pains considering that this is already my third week in the gym. Anyway, i think i should stop blogging already before i get myself too carried away...it's time for me to have my precious beauty sleep...until then...see you. ;)

~Two Days of Extreme Fun & Excitement~

2007-07-04T09:30:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a fun day because i went out with Ivan, Alan, Alvin & Justin for a so-called round Penang island road trip searching for delicious authentic food. Our first stop was to eat the famous laksa at Balik Pulau market. Hmm...it's really delicious...everyone agreed with me except Alvin who thought that the laksa soup should have been thicker. After that, we headed straight to town to a coffee shop where they sell a wide variety of economy rice. Yeah, i know that it is stupid to eat economy rice when our main purpose was to search for famous authentic food around the island. After eating at that place, we went to Swatow Lane coffee shop to have our famous local cuisine...Ice Kachang & Chendul. The Chendul there is just simply mouth-watering. I'm really really in love with Chendul...however, i can't eat too much of that stuff if i really wanna control my diet. Then, after everyone decided that we should not consume anymore food because we have been eating so much throughout the journey, we decided to go to the largest and perhaps the classiest aquarium shop in Penang which bears the name of Chew Thean Yeang. It's my second time there and basically i just walked around following my friends looking at beautiful fishes in an even more beautiful aquariums. By around 3.30pm, we thought that it's time to back to head back and therefore, i dropped each and everyone of them back to their respective houses. Too bad for me that i can't go home and rest because i have to head straightaway to college to attend Tort law class...luckily i managed to arrive early because Mr. Kevin showed us the video presentation of the subjects we are planning to take for our final year in the United Kingdom. After Tort law class, i went out for dinner with Trish & Alvin to eat at a Malay hawker stall along Jones Road...the food there wasn't that great although my main purpose is not to eat, but to chat and hang around with them. After dinner, i have to go back to college to attend Mr. Chin's class, Constitutional & Administrative law class. For the first time, i actually enjoyed his class...maybe of the fact that he taught us Human Rights which i totally loved. By the time i reached home, it's already nearly 9pm and then suddenly i received a call from Ivan asking me to go out for dinner with Nicholas. So, once again, i went out to eat seafood porridge at a very old coffee shop near the airport. Then, we headed to E-Gate Starbucks for a small & short chat...for one last time before Ivan go back to Kuala Lumpur. Finally i reached back at 12 midnight and have a good night rest.

As for today, at around 12 noon, i went to college library to study for my coming examinations till about 4.30pm before heading to gym to meet up with Trish. Aze's class today was as usual, awesome...i always enjoyed his Freestyler classes no matter what happens. It kinda cheer up my mood whenever i'm in his class. After Freestyler, i went to Aze's MTV Style class where he teaches hip-hop class...read my previous post to know more about this hip-hop class. Well, i have to say that today's hip-hop class was difficult...too much spinning and too much complicated moves and it's especially tiring. But then, to keep up with my good impression, i have to act normal and also act as if i'm enjoying the dance...the whole dance thing finally came to end at nearly 8.30pm. By that time, i was really exhausted and went home immediately. Until then...blog some other time...bye!!!

~My Obsession~

2007-07-02T06:10:00.000-07:00

This post is practically about my favourite idol of all time, Gwen Stefani. She has an awesome voice and both of her albums has sold millions worldwide. I still can't believe that she is coming to Malaysia this August...it's just unbelievable and i couldn't be any happier. I especially enjoyed all her songs in her sophomore album "The Sweet Escape". Among my favourites include "Wind It Up", "The Sweet Escape", "4 In The Morning", "Early Winter", "Yummy", Don't Get It Twisted" and "Wonderful Life". I know that this album has been in stores since last year...however, i am only posting it now because of the fact that she's coming to Malaysia and as i mentioned earlier...i am extremely glad...hurray!!! It' just too bad that none of my friends are following me to see her first live performance in Malaysia. But then, i wouldn't mind going alone since she's my superstar...my idol...my inspiration...my dreams. Gwen is really multi-talented because she can sing, act and open a clothing line which shared the same name as her debut album called "L.A.M.B." Her debut acting performance as Jean Harlow in Martin Scorsese biopic movie "The Aviator" was great too. Maybe there's nothing which i dislike about Gwen...she's just perfect. Okay, i think i should stop being so obsessed with her.

Well, it's time to get back to my personal life...today have been an okay day for me although my body is still aching. I woke up kinda late this morning and headed to college library to study Law of Tort for a couple of hours. Then, meet up with Trish and went to Alvin's house to spend time over there. At about 4pm, we went back to college to attend the Student Council meeting...discussed about our college's prom. And yes, i gotta praise Trish for designing such a beautiful poster for our prom night. You really are talented...ok, ok...i must not forget Alvin too...Alvin's also great...hahaha!!! After the meeting, we went to Kapitan's Nasi Kandar restaurant in Gurney Tower for dinner. I shared a Tandoori Cheese Naan set and a piece of garlic naan with Alvin. We talked and talked non-stop throughout our entire time there...it's just fun gossipping with your close friends. Tomorrow will be a fun day because i am going out with Ivan, Wei Loon & Alvin. We'll be going around Penang island searching for the best food available and at the same, catch up with the good old days. Then at 4.30pm tomorrow, I have to go to college for lecture classes until 8.30pm. Hopefully, the pain around my body will subside by tomorrow. I think that's all for now...i gotta go take my shower already...signing off...bye.

~Body Ache~

2007-07-02T05:13:00.000-07:00

Ouch, my body is aching and it's so painful throughout the whole day. Thanks to the training session i had yesterday with a female personal trainer named Joey. She really tortured me during the training session and she barely gave me anytime to rest. Oh yeah, guess who i saw in the gym yesterday...Randall Martin Westwood. Yup, you read right...yesterday was his first day in the gym as a personal trainer. He still remembered me and we have a short conversation together. The best part is he is willing to train me to help me achieve my desired weight. That's very very nice of him...but then i told him that i will have to think about it...and besides that, i am really late for Aze's Freestyler class. I nearly did not managed to reserve my seat in the spinning studio but thank God i finally found one right at the corner of the spinning studio. As usual, his class was great and awesome...going to his classes can really help me burn lots of calories. His classes lasted for a solid 5o minutes and after that, i went for my first training session with Joey...who tortured me until i am in great pain right now. When i told her that i am in pain, she said "it's good for you...if there's no pain, there's no gain"...what the fuck??? But then, i told myself i better follow what she said because i don't want to create a bad impression on myself towards her and anyone around me. I nearly cried throughout the training session because every part of my body hurts but then it will be so humiliating if i really did cry. And because of the pain which i am suffering now, i can't go for Aze's Freestyler today...so sad!!! But then, i should not go to the gym so often nowadays because my examinations are in three weeks time and i really should concentrate on my studies. I am so grateful towards Trish for giving such a meaningful advise...and her avise has really awaken my senses. After my examinations are over, i am so gonna "sleep" in the gym 24/7 and i can go to every of Aze's classes without any worries running inside my head. The best part is...i can go to Gwen Stefani's live tour performance concert on the 21st of August in Bukit Jalil Indoor Stadium...i am so happy and thrilled. I am going to buy the most expensive ticket so that i can get a clearer view of my favourite idol...she's just awesome...i mean...who could resist Gwen Stefani? I would do anything for her...well, not everything but at least nearly everything. Summarily, i am just obsessed with her and i love her so much. That's all for now...logging off...bye.

~What A Wonderful Day~

2007-06-27T08:52:00.000-07:00

Well, today has been exciting and fun for me. Wake up late this morning and then headed straight to college to help promote my college's games carnival and also the blood donation campaign. Actually, i was supposed to go round the college with Tony but he kinda can't make it at the last minute. Thankfully, Vincent followed me around...thus, helping me to reduce my nervousness. I am so afraid and shy to go round the college all by myself. Tony you owe me a big time. After college, i went to the Penang State Assembly to make an appointment for my college's next educational field trip. Too bad the next sitting will only be held in November. So, i guess i will be missing that particular trip...hopefully, the next Law Society President will make sure that this trip is successful. If not, he or she is so gonna get from me. After that, i went to the organic food shop in Pulau Tikus to get some organic stuffs for myself. Later, headed back to college to fetch Alvin to go have lunch in Gurney Plaza and at the same time, i managed to buy my MP3 player which i have been longing for a very long time. Then, rushed home to take my shower and prepare for my gym class. Attended a workout class called Freestyler and since it's my second day there, i was less tired compared to the first day. I'm so happy that the instructor still remembered my name...i could not sleep tonight already ;). Then, rested for 20 minutes and walk around the gym with Trish and chit-chatted for a while before i went for a hip-hop dance class called MTV Style...and guess what...it's the same instructor who teaches the earlier class...Freestyler. The dance moves were amazing...he's such a good dancer and an even better instructor too. Yeah, i know that those of you reading my blog right now could not believe that i actually attended hip-hop dance class, right? Well, this class is awesome...it's just fantastico...i absolutely love it. I enjoyed this class the most...it helps me burn off my extra "package" and at the same time, i'm really really enjoying it. And thanks to my instructor i finally learned a really worthy dance, instead of some old traditional dance. And by the way, did i mentioned that my instructor is Brazilian? A really hot Brazilian too...all the girls and gay guys in the gym are after him. The environment in the gym really does motivate me a lot...i'll be in the gym very often from now onwards...but let's not forget my studies too...can't neglect my studies for gym because education is extremely important. Yeah yeah...i nearly forgotten...Pn. Mok was also in the dance class with me...she kinda supported me throughout the whole dance regime...i am so thankful for her presence there. She joined this gym only for the sole purpose of dancing...but hey, do not be surprise that she's actually participating hip-hop class too. Her dance steps are great and she can remember all the steps too. I am so proud of her...i guess she will be my new dance buddy. I also met this new girl in this dance class...we introduced ourself and had a small chat for a while. The songs my instructor played during the dance class was all near perfect...it's all my favourite songs...for example, Give It To Me by Timbaland, The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani, Say It Right by Nelly Furtado, Don't Matter by Akon and What Goes Around Comes Around by Justin Timberlake...awesome song choice my instructor had. The best part is he's so patient and friendly towards his students...he's just amazing...can't find any better words to describe him. I guess this blog is kinda dedicated to him, hehehe!!! Anyway, i gotta stop blogging because i need to have my beauty sleep now and my muscles need a really good rest so that i will be ready for gym again tomorrow evening. Until then, bye...

~My New Found Pleasure~

2007-06-26T07:04:00.001-07:00

Well, yesterday i went to the gym with Trish & Tony...wow, i can't believe how good i felt after doing all those exercises which are so tiring. I really felt so much lighter...i'm serious, i practically burn so much fat while i'm there. I'm so gonna spend all my free time in the gym from now onwards...too bad that i'm leaving for UK in early September. Anyway, my first day at the gym was awesome...haven't been so happy for such a long time. My first hour in the gym was basically walking around the gym with Trish...she showed me around and introduced me to a few people. I really really thank her so much for introducing me to one of the Brazilian instructor. Trish, i love you so much...thanks again. She's like my new BFF...hehehe!!! Then, Tony arrived about an hour later and he kinda accompanied me throughout the whole time in the gym...thank you so much too...you are just so wonderful. So, i was kinda nervous before Trish introduce me to that particular instructor (whose name i must not mentioned)...but then, he turned out to be an amazing guy...he has such great personality and kind too. I guess i will mentioned him very frequently in most of my forthcoming post. He's actually great...so kind and helpful to me...showed me how to prepare for his class...Freestyler...very tough...seriously it's extremely tough. Luckily i have Trish and Tony to support me. I'm going to his class whenever he teaches Freestyler...however i can't go to his Thursday's class because i have my lecture lesson til 8.45pm...yeah, i know it's crazy to have lecture lessons till so late at night. After his Freestyler's class, went to Alan's (another instructor whose name i CAN mentioned here) class...that class which is called RPM is basically nearly the same as Freestyler, however it's much much easier compared to the first one. After both classes, i nearly fainted...because i was so damn tired...but then, my eyes are still pretty much very wide open to look for...hmm...hmm...well, it's a secret. Then after that, Tony planned wanna go have dinner at Francis's Western Food shop in Pulau Tikus...went there but it's closed. So, we headed home after that...deciding to skip dinner. After i got home and took a shower, i went out again with Ivan & Nicholas to Batu Feringghi to buy some stuffs and then, we went to Sri Ananda Bahwan to have a light supper...it's light because i shared food with Ivan. After a tiresome day, i came home at around midnight, continued to surf the internet for a short while before i fall asleep after that. End of blog...

~Welcome To My New Blog~

2007-06-25T00:32:00.000-07:00

Welcome to my one and only blog...kinda dislike my previous blog, so i finally decided to create a new blog...especially after getting influenced by Ivan & Trish. Blogging will usually take up lots of time and i don't have enough time right now because i will be going to gym in an hour to meet up with Trish. But then, while waiting for time to pass by, i think i should just create my very first post. Err, i really have no idea what to write. So, maybe i will just blog again later tonight to tell everyone about my experience in the gymnasium which i had just joined...thanks Trish for inviting me...you are wonderful. Better go now, i don't wanna be late. Logging off...
