the best dinner, ever.
tender of resignation
the last day of the engineer.
not long tt we are colleagues.
less than 3 mths.
but.
heavy hearted.
tt he is leaving.
cos everytime i go to him when line has issues or probs.
ngo is too busy to attend to me.
and he is the one alw giving the helping hand.
aihs.
though less than 3 mths, the sourish feeling is still thr.
i guess this is life. every meeting will have to part.
farewell lunch with the team.
the last tt i saw him was a quick one.
a short hand shake and 'all the best' and then when i got bc to office, he has left...
teresa too, feel the loss.
all the best, hian chee...
typing e-mails would be different from today onwards...
oh! working life...
what a day i had today.
working hard to meet target. to chase for parts. to meet shipment. to this, to that.
and at the end of the day, remark from my supervisor was,
what the ghost are you doing?!
damn damn damn pissed!
things are in a mess.
not systematic.
things are not tally.
not synchronised.
store, engineers, planners, production shd be in line but all of us are using different systems.
one leads to another. everything is jst so difficult! argh!!!
and production sabo me. telling my supervisor tt they hv highlighted the issue and i did not go chase for it! wth! k, enuf said. nw i noe, hw things work.
on top of tt, today, i see another ugly side.
team work.
yeah rite!
i received a reply from my colleague when i asked for help (k, my supervisor asked me to ask for her help) saying tt everything got to go thru this and tt and during office hr, not allowed to do oth things besides the job scope. arghh!!!
so, this is team work???
i really thought we are working in a team. but no. not today. maybe, we are in a team but in this team, divided into many oth teams....
welcome to the working life. the ugly side of working life.
=[
day 6. 7. 8.
day 6.
u know what i did.
rws.
day 7.
same as day 6.
day 8.
stressful day.
tested my patience and in the end exploded.
so so so stubborn my production ppl.
-ugh-
was harsh to them but i dn care.
need to get things done. and right.
so hv to.
scolded them for the first time.
when i am trying hard to get the system on the right track, they js dn seem to follow.
bad bad day today!
=[
day 5
not a gd day!
had an arguement with the engineer!
all cos of the built of materials dont tally with the work order released by planner and the configurations keep changing, and no one gives a damn abt it!
loop holes here and thr and no one is pathching things up.
and me. got to hunt here and thr for solutions.
aihs.
k, i miss the production mtg again.
was really too occupied in solving issues than to reporting in the mtg which is such a time waster, sometimes.
what i am happy abt today is tt i get home early! vr much early =]
ronnie kept calling, aft 5.30pm asking if the tools are okay for crossing over this sunday when i was abt to pack to go home. -ugh-
my cut off time is 5.30pm, hello?!
and all this while hv been doing charity. damn pissed alr.
things are mutual. so i gif what i am paid. not more. but i hv been giving more.
i know. ppl going to ask y i nvr claim. y i nvr take the initiative to make claims and all rubbish going to bombard me.
excuse me?! i hv been asking and my colleagues hv been telling me, tt they duno. they dn make claims. my ass!
damn pek chek dyy!!!!

tiring day i had today but it seems tt materials are getting better for production...
attended mtg half an hr late and upon my arrival, they were like, mtg is abt to fin...
and so, mtg was jst half an hr for the day...
ronnie seems to be quite in a gd mood today...
not my main concern...
my priority is more on smth else...
i must be super tired today cos couldnt recognise the way home...
didnt know tt i hv to alight from bus when reached...
stoned till the bus was abt to move away and i quickly ran out...
tt was all for the day...
btw, was really happy tt u made the call when u were shopping...
:)
and tt was the third day without u....
day 2
knowing tt i wont be receiving anymore morning calls from u...
the first thing i did was to check my phone if i received any sms.
i did.
a sigh of relief tt u are fine thr.
greeted by ur call was supposed to cheer me up but it was at the wrong timing.
was hving routine production meeting.
and the nxt call u made was such a harsh one to me.
=[
i hv not been feeling gd. a sense of loss. and smth amiss.
wanted to get bc early but was held bc.
he was ard. and production has got some major issue. but luckily was able to get bc b4 9pm...
phews~
and today, he passed me my confirmation letter. which was dated 6 oct. just a simple letter.
heard from my colleague, theresa, tt one of the newly hired engineers tendered his resignation. another cause of my no gd feeling of the day.
another day past missing u...
day 1
the first day without u.
it makes me wonder if u are alrite now in the flight...
it makes me wonder if u are resting or doing your last min preparation for your presentation...
it makes me wonder if u are gd wif your newly made frens...
it makes me wonder if u will fgt tt i am right here waiting...
it makes me wonder when will u be touching down...
it makes me wonder what have u been doing...
as for me,

transition

by the way, today i had a vr delicious lunch.
canton-i serves gd char xiu fan. thanks to my aunt for the treat.
=]
i am so blessed.
homemaker aint easy...
finally, aft a long wait, i landed pg safely on 21st may. i am home. but all alone.
not much of a difference wen i was bc in sabah.
alone. again.
but it is definitely better to be whr i belong.
at least i could drive down to jln delima to get ah cheng, farlim to get jian or to turf club to get clarissa or terengganu road to find my cousins and grab my favourite laksa.
today marks the second day of my home alone.
for the first time, i prepared myself a meal. though not complete, i prepared the meal.
from going to market to get the ingredients to cooking.
phews~
not an easy task.
waking up early in the morning, trying to get a carpark, going through crowds of aunties and uncles are rather frustating. not forgetting the noises.
needed a great amt of patience to go through all these.
surprisingly, i survived! hahha.
and so, proudly presents my meal of the day
not a scrumptious meal but as i hv said, i prepared.
hee~
MY LUNCH
first time i stir fried chicken. not bad the taste with steam four season beans.
no more rice at home. only brown rice which is a big no-no to me so i had tomyum maggie
=]
MY DINNER
bitter gourd soup.
sobs. failure. too much water dyy~
being a homemaker aint easy at all...
i really salute my mom.
a piece to share...
not the full speech though, extracted what really caught me...
''The next big milestone in your life is today: your graduation. The end of education. You’re done learning.
You’ve probably been told the big lie that “Learning is a lifelong process” and that therefore you will continue studying and taking masters’ degrees and doctorates and professorships and so on. You know the sort of people who tell you that? Teachers. Don’t you think there is some measure of conflict of interest? They are in the business of learning, after all. Where would they be without you? They need you to be repeat customers.
The good news is that they’re wrong.''
i do not know how true this is but at certain extent, i agree. up till now, i cant see anything great in it. perhaps, i really hv lost the passion of all this. jaded, i am. but i really envy those who are in it. sounds contradicting? i know. not my obligation to explain anyway.
lecturers, in the same industry, share the same piece of thought. i might be wrong in my observations of my lecturers in my university but they do give me the feeling tt they value the master students (and the potential master students) more. from the way they try to sell the goodness of masters' degrees.
and for the full speech, click here.
my last paper in my life.
i was in mixed feelings.
happy it was over.
at the same time worried i would flunk the paper. *fingers crossed
whatever it is, i am glad tt i hv got someone to share wif once again.
someone tt i would like to cherish.
someone tt i would like to gif it a try again.
i hope this time i could do better.
Being Human
i hv alw looked forward to jack neo's production and this has not failed me despite of wad has happened to him recently.
i find tt the theme song of the movie is meaningful so would like to share...
“做人”
有些东西本来很简单
有些事情不一定是那样
有些人过不了自己那关
结果把简单的事情弄乱
有些手法不需要耍手段
有些做法也不需要野蛮
有些道理根本不需要人讲
有些东西不管怎样你都会不满
做人要看开一点点
工作要认真一点
对人要随便一点点
生活就会自在一点
悲伤时要快乐一点
快乐时要注意一点
生气时要平静一点
人生就会完美一点
my little escape from reality
it was great.
awesome.
but the only drawbc tt i could nt fully njoy
two more papers and two presentations.
anyway, it was a gd one aftall...
thx for the effort and the company
=]
life is really so unpredictable...
but
today i received a piece of bad news from her.
nth abt me.
nth abt anyone in my circle of frens.
but i am absolutely sad knowing abt the news.
cos it makes me feel life is sometimes so fragile and hopeless...
weeks ago, suding told me abt her best friend getting married and i could feel the excitement she has and today she told me tt the fiance walked out of her best friend's life cos he was not ready for a marriage life.
in the midst of preparation...
in the midst of all hope and excitement...
in the midst of walking together into the future...
and in split second
everything
collapsed.
when she described to me the planning of the wedding, it was like a fairy tale. everything sounds perfect.
and now.
it is left a dream...
=[
rubbish
true i am drowned deep in depression lately and the smiles i hv got are not genuine. i hv lost myself. the once happy-go-lucky me has gone far far far away...
i was once a positive person. -was-
and now i am trying to be what i was.
the climb is so hard. especially when i look bc at the things i hv been doing. none tt i am proud of. none tt i feel satisfied. none. this drives me into a more negative self.
i jst dn feel right. dn feel gd. it could be my mindset. it could be the people ard me. i duno. i keep getting demoralising remarks. gestures and responses tt dn make me feel gd. all negatives.
blogging is gd. so tt i could channel all rubbish here and fgt abt it.
final yr, final sem and all i could spill is sad post.
hw depressing...
and i effing hate sad post. whr else can i spill then?
if i cont to throw tantrum, everyone is going to stay away.
if i cont to be temperamental, no one is going to stay.
so, is it me? or is it my reaction towards the surrounding?
is kk tt bad? or is it the people here tt make it bad?
suffocation. all i know. for now.
eve of submission
i am truly disappointed with myself in handling things.
i am mad and angry with myself for being so weak the past one wk.
i am all enveloped in mixed feelings.
perplexed.
lost.
sad.
upset.
disappointed.
helpless.
guilty.
and at the same time, i wish i could put the blame. but i could not. i do not know why am i in this position right now. correct, i admit, i hv been slacking. but all this while, i hv been and things dn go this ugly and sour. til the extent i hv to break down - (once again.) the last was when i was pushed away from going to the airport. and i experienced it again ytd. a feeling tt was so bad tt i could feel myself shivering. hving to hide under the table and wrapped myself up.
what was worst, my hp out of sudden had no access. meaning i hv got no access to the outside world besides msn.
no human.
no voice.
no one.
made me feel so lonely. so empty. so cold. so pathetic. so helpless. so weak.
physically. mentally. psychologically. shattered. into pieces.
____________________________________________________________________
I HATE THIS PERSON.
who gives empty promises.
who takes things for granted.
so much tt i am angry with this person but at the same time who am i if he has not been thr.
i am provided with lots of convenience but does it mean all this could be used to cover the heartache caused?
i do not know if this is not counting my blessings and being discontented but all i know is i am disappointed. i am mad. i am angry. i am guilty. i am pissed off.
whatever i hv said earlier, fell on deaf ears and the blame goes to i do not want to listen and want to do things my way. if tt is really what i wanted, this would not be happening. i would be sailing smoothly doing my way.
its js so difficult. part of me appreciates and another part of me tells me this person is gd in disguise. if this is really so, i hv been foolish to be so true and sincere. i really hope it is not the latter.
so much of unpleasantness. so much of madness. and all happens before i am leaving. a place i truly dn belong.
how am i supposed to trust anymore tt when u are true and sincere, u gain the same bc. i dn feel the equivalence out of a sudden.
somethings jst cant mend. cant cure. the damage done is done. compensation does not work.
i am sorry.
my personality failure.
i shd be doing my fyp now but i could not.
march.
march has been a killer mth to me.
the hardest mth for me to face.
no. definitely not cos of fyp submission drawing near nor any assignments going to due soon.
it has been the month of my biggest loss in my life.
a loss tt i hv regretted. til now. wic i hv been trapping myself in tt prison.
a loss tt thr is no replacement could be done.
a loss tt i wish it nvr happened to me.
a loss tt made me incomplete.
a loss tt tear me apart ever since.
a loss tt caused a psychological scar tt will nvr heal.
a loss tt has turned me into a different person.
a loss tt has made me realise i hv been taking things for granted.
a loss tt taught me a tough lesson.
a loss tt hit me hard.
a loss tt made me depressed.
and on the coming 30th of march would mark the 7 yrs of loss...
if only...
upon receiving the 3 emails as a result of my inquiry last semester this morning has pricked the part of me tt i hate.
the emails are like a reminder to me, there are things in life tt u jst hv to let go...
i hate giving up.
i hate letting go.
especially when i am the one hanging on and people ard u start losing faith and convince u tt giving up is the better choice...
perhaps, sometimes, it is...
i hv come to learn tt the hard way, yrs ago, i had to, with no choice. everyone was against me...everyone...what choice was i left then? i prayed hard for miracles to happen, the only choice i was left with. but. my prayers were not heard...
my past has taught me so and even though i hv changed, the thought of giving up still hurts...
it does not feel good...jst like something amiss...something incomplete...something not in place...something jst so wrong...
if only i could be bold enough, leaving all things behind and take the route not taken..
if only i could erase all past and release myself from being a prisoner of the past...
if only i could make the incomplete complete...
if only...
p/s - jst wanna spill a piece of my thought..may sound a little gloomy but i am perfectly fine...
gd student vs teachers of various kinds...
gd student here is defined as the student who has not been late and has been in gd attitudes.
the teacher is supposed to be those who hv attended several classes with the student.
scenario #1
gd student vs gd teacher
student: sorry, i am late.
teacher: it's fine. we have not started much. take your seat and copy from your fren what u hv missed.
student: thank you.
and so u dn really hv to make explanations.
scenario #2
gd student vs so so teacher
student: sorry, i am late.
teacher: do not be the next time. now, go get your seat.
student: yes, ma'am.
and so not much explanations needed too.
scenario #3
gd student vs pathetic inflexible teacher
student: sorry, i am late.
teacher: reason(s) tt you are late?
student: i missed the bus.
teacher: i do not accept that as a valid reason. u are giving me a very common excuse tt students hv been using. so, why did u miss the bus?
student: i am sorry, i over slept.
teacher: dn u hv an alarm clock? (agitated with sarcasm)
student: yes, i do, ma'am but i was not awaken by the alarm. i...
teacher: so are u telling me tt the alarm clock did not work? stop giving me all sorts of excuses like all your frens did. putting the blame on the bus, the alarm clock and expect me to accept these. regardless of these excuses, it is still your fault for being late. as punishment, stay bc aft cls. now go get your seat.
student: i am sorry, ma'am.
and so the student does not even hv a chance to even make any explanations.
scenario #4
gd student vs pathetic inflexible dictator-like teacher.
student: sorry, i am late.
teacher: i do not wann any excuses. go get your seat and as punishment, your assessment of attitude is 0.
student: but i...
teacher: i do not wann to repeat myself. dn u understd english, or u wann me to say again in ur mother tongue? one more word from u, i will fail u.
student: *forced to silence, feeling bad, guilty*
no need explanation, direct sentencing. threatened by the teacher by the word, FAIL. any students HATED tt word. its like a taboo.
scenario #5
gd student vs hidden-venomous teacher.
student: sorry, i am late.
teacher: ok, dn hv to explain. go get ur seat and start attending my cls.
student: ok, ma'am. thank you.
so u think tt is the end of it? nope. the final report card is rewarded with,
*to be continued...
hating on the club.
'hating on the club' by rihanna is one of my all-time fav songs. in fact, it has been my ring tone ever since i came to know the song.
it is definitely not the song i am going to blog abt. it is part of the name of the song tt i wann to blog abt.
it was a sudden plan tt my fren wanted to hit the club. i hesitated at first cos
#1
i hv got 2 midterms nxt wk
#2
fyp
#3
i promised my fren to help her in writing essays for her scholarship application.
#4
i wanted to fin 'act like a lady, think like a man'
but. (an expected but...hahha)
the nxt thing i knew was, 4 of us in the club.
shenanigans.
it was a sad place i would say. it was extremely difficult to get them into euphoric state. the live band was great and thr was a dance floor. problem was, NO ONE ON THE DANCE FLOOR!!!
the mood was so down despite of the loud music. ironically, it was rather peaceful...hahha...
fortunately, the atmosphere switched the last one hr we were thr. i was the first to get drunk. yeah, again. my fren had to get me out of the ladies. i did not slp in thr this time. thr was no sofa provided. went into the ladies earlier to prepare the rejection of my fd intake.
finally, the atmosphere did get heated up. i kenot rmb how long we were on the dance floor. all i rmb is, it was tiring. we left aft finishing the bottle of black label. i dn think i finished mine and alr lost the battle with alcohol. lols.
i did not drunk dial anyone this time. phews~ gd thing. but. my fren told me tt i talked alot. alot as in, ALOT. he said tt i kept everything to myself and at one go, i played bc everything tt i hv kept. i talked for 2 hrs non-stop! this is so embarrassing. argh~ i even make complaints on mr. liau in the whole 2-hr session of talking. this is not the worst part yet. the worst was i even said things like jumping down from my hostel. *shake head* i must be vr drunk...
my another fren, not any better, blurted all secrets, slpt in the bath tub, talked non-stop. i guess we were both trying to release stress.
pity another two frens could not rest cos of the need to take care of us. thank yous.
it was madness. spending tt amt of money for this form of escape from the cruel reality temporarily. hangover. waking up wif rashes, sore throat, headache and most of all, heartache...
the nxt time, i will make sure tt i am sober in, sober out. oj, pls.
home, finally.
=]
its js so gd to be bc to whr i belong to. the excitement in me when touching down was js like at the top of the world. minus the part whr i was in the flight for 3 hrs enduring the kid behind me kicking my seat and another baby crying non-stop along the journey! it was really a mental torture. i effing hate baby cries.
-ugh-
they shd hv a rule tt prohibits cry babies on board! it was really torturing when u try so hard to slp and the baby kept crying. the amazing part is, the baby stopped crying immediately aft the plane landed! so i was thinking if he was in pain or smth during the flight. anyway, ironically, when i saw the baby i could not help it but to flash a smile to him waving gdbye. crazy, i tot he disturbed my slp? orite, babies are innocent...hee...
neway, i am glad tt i am finally home. so gd to see my mom. so gd to go on to my bed. so gd to smell my red blanket. everything is js sooooooooo gd.
flashbacks.
and receiving her call ytd gave me a little cheer on my monotonous saturday. how come i make it sound as though i din receive her call for yrs?! hahha. in actual fact, we did on and off chat over the phone to keep ourselves updated. i noe thr is such thing as msn and it is free but both of us nvr like msn chatting. in fact, we dn like chatting via msn or even the phone. face to face talking is the best for both of us. the interaction is totally different. in short, presence is the key for true mutual communication.
msn could be deceiving. it is difficult to tell the true feelings of the person who is chatting with u. in a way, i like chatting on msn when i wann to hide my true feelings. u could be extremely sad and thr is not much of a problem to type 'hahha' in the chats. trust me, it could really be deceiving. i alw do tt to drive ppl away and from prying into my true emotions. unless u choose to be true to the one chatting with u, else, it is difficult to tell. the drawback of virtual instant messaging.
as for the phone, only voice could be heard. i find it pretty difficult to judge too. but, this option is definitely better than IM. at least, voice could be heard. semi-presence, i call it. the drawback of phone calling is when the connection is lousy. cant really hear what the oth person is talking abt. den this would initiate the spark of being infuriated. u got so fed up tt the line keep cutting. and in the end, would just gif up chatting via the phone. aihss.
but, luckily i had a great and fun chat wif selina ytd. i realised tt what i hv been all this while, she is becoming one too i.e hving a gd heart, holding on to the thinking tt what goes ard comes ard. she told me tt she wanted to do more gd deeds, to help oth, to be gd to oth. tt really brought me to the euphoric state.
she has really changed alot. i still rmb hw selfish she used to be bc in primary sch. cant even borrow things from her. the worst part was during our recess time, i rmb wanting to try the fd tt she brought but she said no to me. walao! but now, she even tapao my fav hokkien mee for me! =] not forgetting, she has alw been my driver ever since she got her license. be it, for tuition, movie, outing, gathering or any occasions, she is the one driving me ard til she got so fed up and alw tel me to get a boyfriend to drive me ard. hahha. what more can i ask for? thank yous!!! =]
i am so grateful tt along the way, many friends come and go, and this SELINA nvr leave. i kind of know her since primary 1, 1 nanas was her cls, mine was 1 limau. i know her existence but we did not really make friends till the streaming of cls in primary 4. 4 betik, 5 betik den out of a sudden they change the name to 6 pintar. i was in 6 pintar den to 6 cerdas. streaming was done and undone. all i rmb was i keep changing cls in primary 6. keep changing clicks too.
i used to be vr close to rani at tt time. thinking bc, my close fren in primary 1 to primary 3 was dhanalaktchmi. i hope i spelled her name correctly. i could still rmb her telling me at tt time her daily pocket money was 50cents. when i knew her, she was alr a single parent child. her father passed away in accident. working in the train station. at tt time, i really pity her. i oso rmb telling my mom abt her story. i was still a happy child bc then. i din noe hw to help her but all i noe was to share things wif her. i really wonder hw she is doing now. the last time i saw her was in secondary sch i guess, when i attended a science exhibition in some sch in prai. aft the stupid streaming of cls, we drifted apart.
i sat beside selina for one yr in 5 betik. the front row. right in front of the black board. the memory was kind of vague but i stil could rmb gaik tin and jie ming were both sitting at the end of our rows. yizhen was behind us if not mistaken. diana and kailyn were another side. i could not rmb at all whr rani, supeng, angela, shareena and huee leng were sitting bc then. all i know is, we were in the same cls. our cls teacher was pn lalitha in primary 4, primary 5 and 6 was pn khoo.
pn khoo, the one who taught us maths. a great teacher. she loved saying, lim ping pong and tan toa pui...k, i did not know whr she got those names from but those names really tickled us during maths cls. up til today, i stil rmb her. and during wesak day, i alw see her tapao-ing fd from the same vegetarian restaurant. i used to approach her but the recent one tt i saw her in island glades, i did not do so. i was so shy to approach her, fearing tt she might hv forgotten me already. its embarrassing but come to think of it, i shd hv said hi even if she really has forgotten me. i shd hv let her noe tt she is not forgotten. i blif if i were to greet her tt day, she would be so happy to her achievement tt thr is stil a student remembering her. regret for not listening to my mom.
whatever it is, i am glad tt these people crossed my life. they made me who i am today. special thanks to SELINA TAN who stayed with me for 16 yrs. we shall celebrate when hit 20 yrs!
the imbalance part of me, lately.
paranoia, maybe. though i hv nvr missed any flights before, the worry is just thr.
i am so worried tt i would miss my flight home lately till i could not really fall in a peaceful slp. i fall aslp easily but i would jump up from my slp out of a sudden thinking if i overslept. it sounds crazy i know but the insecurity is thr. i kenot take it if i were to miss flight and got stranded here. i think i would go berserk, insane, crazy, mad, whatever u call it, i would.
and for the first time ever tt i hv got a chance to pro-long a longer cny holiday, i didnt do it. surprisingly, i noe. i, myself is surprised too. thinking tt i dn hv much time left here, i finally made the decision of sticking to the initial airtics booked. besides, i am a person who is lazy enough to go for such trouble. not forgetting tt, it is darn inconvenient to go to the so-called city to change the tickets. i am just too lazy to attend to such unnecessary troubles. besides, the sales office is full of unfriendly employees. i hv been thr once to change my ticket wif my fren cos we booked wrongly and the lady who attended to us was extremely rude! argh~ i just hate people with no manners. fine, not like i am filled with manners but at least when i was in the service line, i hv not anyhow throw my anger to my customers nor hv i ever displayed any sour face to them even when the customers were being unreasonable at times. anyway, i hope i will not regret. make it the last try tt i am giving to sabah. hahha. though i really doubt tt its going to be fun here. my fren regretted the first time he stayed for cny here, wad do i expect? alrite, not like i am staying for cny. jst merely wanting to make complaints over the decision of not changing the tickets. hehe.
*fingers crossed* no regrets, hopefully...
jst some incidents tt i think worth pondering...
last tuesday was disastrous. hving the heart to offer help and at the end of the day, it turned out to be unpleasant. it was madness. i admit tt i was extremely pissed off. i hv no idea how to explain the anger but it was an anger tt really got me boiling to a point tt i think would hit me with high blood pressure. called my mom to spill. then, how easily my anger subsided, aft taking a nap of 15 mins. i was too angry till fell aslp immediately. walao...i seriously hate being this angry. fortunately, i am gifted in a way tt i dn bring forward my anger. it was instantaneous. and while i am writing this, thinking bc, it was stupid being angry. it was more to disappointment than anger actually. anyway, let bygones be bygones. i hope the nxt time if such thing happens again, i would care less on the matter. as such, i would not hurt myself. anyway, humans tend to take things for granted. i, myself do tt too...
tuesday did not end jst like tt. it was a frisbee day! i hv been waiting for the day...phews~ i was so touched tt day. saved by the bell. went out to release all remaining stress accumulated on tt day. my roommate, mingrei, deliberately acc me to frisbee neglecting her lab report. she was aware tt i was unhappy on tt day. she even got infuriated tt i brought my unhappiness together. i am sorry. a really big thank you for tt. and oso to candis who brought us thr. the first time tt i joined in the real game. omg. it was extremely exhausting. came bc with every part of body aching. must be age is catching up. it was a great experience. hving to run real hard. a stress releasing activity, i would say and no, frisbee is not for doggies, my fren...
ping yang's birthday
this is a back dated entry.
for his birthday is on 3rd feb.
we had dinner at the kopitiam below the ang's hotel. the food was overall not bad but the wait was so terrible. -ugh- the service was bad too. the old lady who took our order was rude and vr unfriendly. but what to do, we wanted to eat gd fd. we waited for abt an hr js to get our seats. tt really made me think if sabahans dn cook at home~ why is everyone dining out???
anyway, luckily the food turned out to be worth-the-wait.
or else, i would be cursing liao.
(wads so gd sbh? eat oso need to wait. with tt kind of lousy service.)
tts me. hehe.
according to ws, it was abit bland but it was still ok with me.
the taste is refreshing.

the change.
by right, with my character, i shd be feeling sad tt things are reshuffling.
i do not know why, looking at my frens shifting, i am not heavy hearted at all. i feel a little heartless. perhaps, i really dn belong here...
what is happening to me? hw come i dn feel sad or being heavy hearted at all?
this change is scary...making me into a cold hearted person...
pics worth sharing.
let the pics do most of the talking.
