Am feeling much angst from within now, I swear I have never tried so hard academic wise in my entire life. What has gone wrong? Were the exams so easy back then or is it because my brain just refuses to advance with my age?? Haih, I finally got into the minimum grade class that I am supposed to get. But, after all the hard work and seeing all friends doing much better makes me wonder, why can't I do as good as them? The funny thing is, I was hoping only a B while others would tell me how screwed up their life is when they get a A-. That used to be me, oh wait, I almost never whined about my result. What has become of me, my brain -_-.

Mer and Nor have just reached home after their 3 days penang/ipoh trip. It was really fun having them around J I explored the many places which I as a ipoh-ian for 23 years have never been to. We ate like there's no tomorrow, thanks to my very paranoid-bout-getting-hungry mom and dad, especially my mom. I'm sorry u have to bring a bottle of black vinegar back each. She's always been unbelievable like that. Oh and the most memorable part was ipoh train station of cos! It was my first time there too, we were excited exploring the historical building around. Haha. There was a quaint looking hotel right beside the train station. We went in, and found this super old school lift, and what was more amazing was that, it was still functioning! We were laughing at the funny note that explain the lift was as old as our great grand father and the next thing we know, we heard a loud thud, there, we got trapped inside the lift! For a good 10 minutes, until someone came to our rescue. And no, it's not funny.

I have so much I wanted to tell, but it just doesn't feel right when he's away.

The interview came again today. my lifelong dream, but, I don't feel the hype anymore. :s

 

I hate the sounds of the crickets, especially at night. Oh wait, they only make noise at night. Today is one of those days that many plans are made, and in the midst of all that, I realized some things are unchanged, not since the longest I remember.

I'm often asked what had happened to that picture. The picture reminds me of someone who was very present in my life. It was an afternoon, under the old fashioned fan at the old fashioned table. It was one of those awkward conversations like 'how have you been?', 'you've gotten so much prettier' and 'your top looks nice'. I really couldn't remember the exact details of how it went, but it clearly didn't contain any elements of bidding farewells. What exactly did we talk about that close the curtain of that show? I was pacing the right things to say, and on the margin of it all,were the excuses I tried to contain the in between my words. I nearly drove into the guard house before it all ended. It was a sunny day and it was one of the last few times I drove.

Among the many distrusts, there's him who listens. I sometimes get frustrated over my minute presence, but I'm glad I have someone whom I can count on nowadays. J

 

 

Some years ago, I remember being invited by a very special someone to church every Christmas. I've only been there once I think although I very much like to celebrate Christmas, my parents are extra paranoid about us going out at night. There's always problem when u're studying away from home. If you date a guy from home, you'd be separated most of the time, but will spend all the holiday together. On the other hand, if u date a guy who's not from home, then u'll be together most of the time, BUT not holidays. Past experience told me time need to be arranged very well, or things turn ugly. As a person who owns only a body and 24 hours a day, it's sometimes extremely taxing when there are loved ones-- bf, family and friends to juggle. You'd want very much for everyone of them to know they are important to you and that you really tried to spend more time with them, but u ended up getting from each of them complaints about your absence in certain points of time.

I failed once upon a time, I learnt, I amend. But it just doesn't work that way.

you know what they say about learning new things everyday? haha, i learnt how to edit html today! thanks to lai nornor!

This is the first post since I reached home, haven't really had the mood time to sit back and reflect on my life lately. A couple of things happened since I reached home, of family, friends, boyfriends and people in general. It was last week, a full episode of TVB drama screened in front of my eyes. The raging wrath of sisters and the trauma of the old parents from the family feud were overwhelming. It also opened my eyes to the very mundane work of neighborhood police where what they do whole day was listening to stories like who stole whose cows and pretending to be serious while writing the report. As a person who is somewhat involved in this, I myself thought it was super hilarious.

Then I went for holiday with my family. It was nothing more than what I have expected. Maybe it's because I'm a kampong girl like that lol. I really can't imagine myself living in the environment where there are constant human traffic, small roads, polluted air and ugly high-rises. Some people might think the city is bustling with life, but really, I pity the people living in the central area. Again, maybe it's just because I'm a kampong girl who can't stand bustles :P.

Oh, and the stories about travel group organized by travel agencies? They are all true. It's tiring enough to pack everything into 4 days. And these cunning agencies have to 'introduce' us the 'specialties' of the countries. And how they do it with such tight schedule? Wake us up at 630am and if that's not enough, cut down on the visiting spots in the itinerary. That's not even half the story, I still can't get over the photo frame that cost us 230 dollars @#$$%&*. The guy was clearly robbing in daylight, BUT according to Chinese culture, instead of telling him off outright we have to reject very indirectly and if that failed, which was the case, you just have complied feeling reluctantly cheated. Aside from all the tiredness from lack of sleep and dragging our feet and feeling complied to get cheated, you have to bear the surprises and frustrations you get when there's 'miscommunications' between the agencies from home and the country that you are visiting. They can even ignore your overseas calls when they can't give you reasonable clarifications. may all these ppl rot in hell -__-

The highlights of it all were Repulse bay, Victoria's peak and Disneyland. J

I can never explain enough my love for beaches :) (Repulse Bay 9.12.2009)

 

This is taken from Victoria's half peak, because the peak was too misty we can't capture anything. Magnificent night view I gotta say. (9.12.2009)

 

Disneyland the small world. I know everybody says it's nothing great because it's too small, but I really felt like I've gone into fairy tale once. There were a lot of nostalgic moments. (11.12.2009)

 

There were 964 pictures, or was it 994? Lol, thanks to my very diligent sister and me the poser. That's all, all I know is I won't go to Hong Kong for a very very long time.

I think I'll continue my abovementioned reflections in the next post.

Till then!
