it's not a secret anymore...

My Happiest Moment

2011-10-28T00:57:00.001+08:00

It was dark and drizzly evening, en route to the island I call home, when I met you for the first time.

"There's a plastic bag behind my seat.. that's your Christmas present," he said.
The date was January 13, 2011.

After eight seconds of groping in the dark, I laid hands on the said plastic bag, excitedly plunged my hands into it... and touched... something soft.. and swirly?

What an awkward sensation!

But how can I ever forget, the day I took you out of the plastic bag, looked at you for awhile, held you in my arms happily and then hugging you for the rest of our journey home...

And I will never forget how he bought you to keep me company, knowing that I love horses, and thinking you were one! Hehe..

Me? A horse?!

Not to mention, all the wonderful times we spent together after that.. Hanging out and meeting new friends!

Taking silly photos together!

But you know what? I will always remember the night that I first met you as one of the happiest moments of my life. Simply because right after you came into my life, he popped THE QUESTION!!

Watching Toy Story 3 together @ Pavillion

And that night, was the start of something special... for all of us!

DiGi BlackBerry Torch 9800 – Hotter and Smarter

2010-11-17T16:33:00.000+08:00

Hey people...!

Here's a secret you didn't know... Heh heh heh!

Ok nolah, not really secret since most of you who are actively on the internet and reading blogs would have known by now that something hot just waltzed into town...

*wipe my drool first*

Wah, what a nice change if my phone actually looks like that! Even if I was having roti kosong at the mamak stall, being fed by my mom, I would look good when I take out my Blackberry Torch and answer a phone call!

See?? Cool right? No wait, I mean, HOT right?

Man, having a BB Torch right now will be like... having Caviar at kindergarten recess time!

And like, having lunch with Obama!!

Or even comparable to...

ok not really la... eww!

But you get what I mean, it defies all norms… its SMART… and its HOT!

Wuarrrgh!!! I want a Blackberry Torch NOW!!!

*drooling*

Cheese!

2010-11-16T20:55:00.043+08:00

Let me tell you a story about cheese...

I love cheese!!!!!!

I don't think there's a cheese product in existence that I do not like!

CHEESEcake, CHEESEburger, CHEESE fries, CHEESE baked rice, CHEESE tarts, CHEEZELS! Love them all!!!

So imagine the horror when I visited Pizza Hut today with a half-empty stomach, ordered the SUPER DUPER AWESOME EXTREME CHEESY 6 Pizza... and I couldn't finish it! WUARGHH!!! Its like mental torture!!!

yummy!!!

Seriously... Look at all that cheese calling out to me... Its as if the Cheddar, Mozarella, Parmesan, Provolone, Monterey Jack and Romano are calling my name and saying, "Nicki~ Eat us all~ You know you want it!!!"

And while I'm struggling with that inner battle in my mind, Mr. Boyfriend was sitting on the other side of the table, happily buttering up his pizza slices with Chilli Sauce! Why? Why would anyone do that to those poor yummy cheeses?!

Oh well, lets not get distracted here because I have my own mission to fulfill: How to nom all these cheese?

I was in the middle of contemplating between hiding them in salt + pepper shakers and convincing Mr. Boyfriend to help me out when I got myself an even better idea... DIVIDE AND CONQUER!

In order for this to work, I have to convince myself that the pizza is nom nom and that I can finish them up so first, I cut it into slices like this...

Looks more manageable! Now to make it even easier, I cut them into even smaller pieces like this...

Taa daa!! Now its only nice small pieces of lovely cheese noms! Haha... I was so happy with my discovery that I ended up eating more than I intended to eat. Sigh... My tummy is so going to complain about this but, every single bite was WORTH IT!! Worth it, I tell you!

Pizza Hut's Extreme Cheesy 6, Consume with Caution! Dangerously addictive!! >.<

After this experience, I have come to a conclusion... Did I tell you at the beginning of this post that I love cheese? Well, I don't think that's true anymore...

Cause now I'm crazy about Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!

Don't Leave It On The Desk

2010-05-24T01:11:00.000+08:00

There was a certain Professor of Religion named Dr. Christianson, a studious man who taught at a small college in the western United States.

Dr. Christianson taught the required survey course in Christianity at this particular institution. Every student was required to take this course their freshman year, regardless of his or her major.

Although Dr. Christianson tried hard to communicate the essence of the gospel in his class, he found that most of his students looked upon the course as nothing but required drudgery. Despite his best efforts, most students refused to take Christianity seriously.

This year, Dr. Christianson had a special student named Steve. Steve was only a freshman, but was studying with the intent of going onto seminary for the ministry. Steve was popular, he was well liked, and he was an imposing physical specimen. He was now the starting center on
the school football team, and was the best student in the professor's class.

One day, Dr. Christianson asked Steve to stay after class so he could talk with him.

"How many push-ups can you do?"

Steve said, "I do about 200 every night."

"200? That's pretty good, Steve," Dr. Christianson said. "Do you think
you could do 300?"

Steve replied, "I don't know.... I've never done 300 at a time"

"Do you think you could?" again asked Dr. Christianson.

"Well, I can try," said Steve.

"Can you do 300 in sets of 10? I have a class project in mind and I need you to do about 300 push-ups in sets of ten for this to work. Can you do it? I need you to tell me you can do it," said the professor.

Steve said, "Well... I think I can...yeah, I can do it."

Dr. Christianson said, "Good! I need you to do this on Friday.. Let me explain what I have in mind."

Friday came and Steve got to class early and sat in the front of the room. When class started, the professor pulled out a big box of donuts. No, these weren't the normal kinds of donuts, they were the extra fancy BIG kind, with cream centers and frosting swirls. Everyone was pretty excited it was Friday, the last class of the day, and they were going to get an early start on the weekend with a party in Dr. Christianson's class.

Dr. Christianson went to the first girl in the first row and asked, "Cynthia, do you want to have one of these donuts?"

Cynthia said, "Yes."

Dr. Christianson then turned to Steve and asked, "Steve, would you do ten push-ups so that Cynthia can have a donut?"

"Sure!" Steve jumped down from his desk to do a quick ten. Then Steve again sat in his desk. Dr. Christianson put a donut on Cynthia's desk.

Dr. Christianson then went to Joe, the next person, and asked, "Joe, do you want a donut?"

Joe said, "Yes."

Dr. Christianson asked, "Steve would you do ten push-ups so Joe can have a donut?"

Steve did ten push-ups, Joe got a donut. And so it went, down the first aisle, Steve did ten push-ups for every person before they got their donut.

Walking down the second aisle, Dr. Christianson came to Scott. Scott was on the basketball team, and in as good condition as Steve. He was very popular and never lacking for female companionship.

When the professor asked, "Scott do you want a donut?"

Scott's reply was, "Well, can I do my own push-ups?"

Dr. Christianson said, "No, Steve has to do them."

Then Scott said, "Well, I don't want one then."

Dr.. Christianson shrugged and then turned to Steve and asked, "Steve, would you do ten push-ups so Scott can have a donut he doesn't want?"

With perfect obedience Steve started to do ten push-ups.

Scott said, "HEY! I said I didn't want one!"

Dr. Christianson said, "Look! This is my classroom, my class, my desks, and these are my donuts. Just leave it on the desk if you don't want it." And he put a donut on Scott's desk.

Now by this time, Steve had begun to slow down a little. He just stayed on the floor between sets because it took too much effort to be getting up and down. You could start to see a little perspiration coming out around his brow.

Dr. Christianson started down the third row. Now the students were beginning to get a little angry. Dr. Christianson asked Jenny, "Jenny, do you want a donut?"

Sternly, Jenny said, "No."

Then Dr. Christianson asked Steve, "Steve, would you do ten more push-ups so Jenny can have a donut that she doesn't want?"

Steve did ten....Jenny got a donut.

By now, a growing sense of uneasiness filled the room. The students were beginning to say, "No!" and there were all these uneaten donuts on the desks.

Steve also had to really put forth a lot of extra effort to get these push-ups done for each donut. There began to be a small pool of sweat on the floor beneath his face, his arms and brow were beginning to get red because of the physical effort involved.

Dr. Christianson asked Robert, who was the most vocal unbeliever in the class, to watch Steve do each push up to make sure he did the full ten push-ups in a set because he couldn't bear to watch all of Steve's work for all of those uneaten donuts. He sent Robert over to where Steve was so Robert count the set and watch Steve closely.

Dr. Christianson started down the fourth row.. During his class, however, some students from other classes had wandered in and sat down on the steps along the radiators that ran down the sides of the room. When the professor realized this, he did a quick count and saw that now there
were 34 students in the room. He started to worry if Steve would be able to make it.

Dr. Christianson went on to the next person and the next and the next. Near the end of that row, Steve was really having a rough time. He was taking a lot more time to complete each set.

Steve asked Dr. Christianson, "Do I have to make my nose touch on each one?"

Dr. Christianson thought for a moment, "Well, they're your push-ups. You are in charge now. You can do them any way that you want." And Dr. Christianson went on.

A few moments later, Jason, a recent transfer student, came to the room and was about to come in when all the students yelled in one voice, "NO! Don't come in! Stay out!"

Jason didn't know what was going on. Steve picked up his head and said, "No, let him come."

Professor Christianson said, "You realize that if Jason comes in you will have to do ten push-ups for him?"

Steve said, "Yes, let him come in. Give him a donut."

Dr. Christianson said, "Okay, Steve, I'll let you get Jason's out of the way right now. Jason, do you want a donut?"

Jason, new to the room, hardly knew what was going on. "Yes," he said, "give me a donut."

"Steve, will you do ten push-ups so that Jason can have a donut?"

Steve did ten push-ups very slowly and with great effort. Jason, bewildered, was handed a donut and sat down.

Dr Christianson finished the fourth row, and then started on those visitors seated by the heaters. Steve's arms were now shaking with each push-up in a struggle to lift himself against the force of gravity. By this time sweat was profusely dropping off of his face, there was no
sound except his heavy breathing; there was not a dry eye in the room.

The very last two students in the room were two young women, both cheerleaders, and very popular. Dr. Christianson went to Linda, the second to last, and asked, "Linda, do you want a doughnut?"

Linda said, very sadly, "No, thank you."

Professor Christianson quietly asked, "Steve, would you do ten push-ups so that Linda can have a donut she doesn't want?"

Grunting from the effort, Steve did ten very slow push-ups for Linda.

Then Dr. Christianson turned to the last girl, Susan. "Susan, do you want a donut?"

Susan, with tears flowing down her face, began to cry. "Dr. Christianson, why can't I help him?"

Dr Christianson, with tears of his own, said, "No, Steve has to do it alone; I have given him this task and he is in charge of seeing that everyone has an opportunity for a donut whether they want it or not. When I decided to have a party this last day of class, I looked at my grade book. Steve here is the only student with a perfect grade. Everyone else has failed a test, skipped class, or offered me inferior work. Steve told me that in football practice, when a player messes up he must do push-ups. I told Steve that none of you could come to my party unless he paid the price by doing your push-ups. He and I made a deal for your sakes."

"Steve, would you do ten push-ups so Susan can have a donut?"

As Steve very slowly finished his last push-up, with the understanding that he had accomplished all that was required of him, having done 350 push-ups, his arms buckled beneath him and he fell to the floor.

Dr. Christianson turned to the room and said, "And so it was, that our Savior, Jesus Christ, on the cross, plead to the Father, 'Into thy hands I commend my spirit.' With the understanding that He had done everything that was required of Him, He yielded up His life. And like some of those in this room, many of us leave the gift on the desk, uneaten. "

Two students helped Steve up off the floor and to a seat, physically exhausted, but wearing a thin smile.

"Well done, good and faithful servant," said the professor, adding, "Not all sermons are preached in words."

Turning to his class, the professor said, "My wish is that you might understand and fully comprehend all the riches of grace and mercy that have been given to you through the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He spared not His Only Begotten Son, but gave Him up for
us all, for the whole Church, now and forever. Whether or not we choose to accept His gift to us, the price has been paid."

"Wouldn't you be foolish and ungrateful to leave it lying on the desk?"

Showing My Mother Some Love

2010-05-17T21:37:00.007+08:00

Its really been a long time since I last blogged.. Sigh, I ought to pull my schedules together and squeeze in a weekly slot for blogging real soon before this space starts to grow e-mold!

Ok quick updates here - I'm DONE with my final exams!!! Whee!! But still working on my thesis, would appreciate it if anyone knows anyone who can help me develop mobile apps!! Contact me at ghimghim@hotmail.com Please and Thank You!

Anyhow, I found myself rather free tonight after a crazy two weeks of travelling between PG - KL but even though its pretty tiring and all, I still think its well worth it! For one, I got to spend some time with my parents to sweat it out a bit by helping them with some house chores and do some mother-daughter bonding sessions. Spent some time talking to my dad about my plans for the future and stuff.. not to mention some chill out sessions catching up with pals, just like old times!

Now let me tell you something about my mom...

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!!!

For all the countless things she's done for me, the mere job of raising me up (all the sleepless nights and tiring days!!), all the valuable lessons she taught me and the unconditional love she's shown me...

..there really is no way that I can fully express my gratitude to her in words

but that didn't stop me from trying anyway!

I still remember some of the funny things she did last time that I didn't quite understand because I was too young. Like when I was still in primary school and I was hooked on the habit of running off to some neighbourhood 'longkang' or puddle with my cousins, armed with a McDonalds paper cup, just to catch a bunch of tadpoles and bring them home to keep as pets.

She knew that the many many helpless creatures were gonna die in my hands if she didn't do anything about it so when I told her, "Mom! I put this cup here on the kitchen floor you don't throw my pets away ok?" she would just smile her beautiful smile. Then the next morning the cup will be gone and she would tell me, "The tadpoles turned into frogs and jump away already.. you cannot keep them in the small little cup" and I would believe her!

After a few attempts and having my tadpoles supposedly turn into frogs overnight and jumping off every time, I got bored of it and stopped taking them as captives.

See how smart my mom is? Gotta learn more of these tricks from her to use on my sister's kids! Heh heh heh!

So anyhow, I just thought it'd be nice to post some pictures I took on Mother's Day here. I gave her the gifts 2 days early because I was gonna be in KL on the actual day... and it really makes me happy to see the smile on her face when she saw the flowers!!

mom's kinda camera shy so I'm not posting her pics here! hehe..

So what did you all do for your mom two weeks ago?

I Lost My Glitterati!!!

2010-04-26T21:58:00.005+08:00

What a shame... I can't believe I let this happen!!!

As you can see here, I haven't been updating my blog for quite sometime already lately... WHY? Because I've been kinda swamped with my final exams and thesis. *sobs*

However, little did I know that my negligence was gonna cost me some privileges that I have previously taken for granted... like my Nuffnang Glitterati status!!! T_T

I can't even see what their new Evangelist Program looks like!!! I wanna be a brand Nazi!!! T___T

I happily logged in to my Nuffnang account one day after receiving one of their friendly community emails only to realize that I've been demoted to an ORDINARY member! THE HORROR!!!

So I went to take a look around and see if any "foreign" ads have crept into my blog without me noticing but no.. my blog was clean! Then I went to check if my blog went bonkers or stopped displaying the banners but no, they were working fine!!! Finally it hit me.. my Project 365!

My Project 365... you poor poor thing.. abandoned for two whole months after I took my 365th picture in March!

So what can a blogger do now that her access to Innit has been taken away and she is no longer entitled to joining those lucrative Nuffnang events and contests??? ~~Cry for three days two nights then go write complaints to the Nuffnang helpdesk! ho ho ho~~

High time to revamp the old abandoned blog!

It took me a few days (sneaking time off in between studies) to work on it but finally I've managed to make something decent out of it!! Whee~

I'm gonna be starting to update that project of mine regularly now so can I have my Glitterati back please please pretty please with a cherry on top???

Tis The Day

2010-03-31T19:43:00.003+08:00

...that I lala-fied my phone! Oh no!

The horror!!!

Haha... I'm not quite sure why but 3D stickers are all the craze recently. I have friends who are working in *aherm* professional corporate settings sticking these cute stickers all over their desktop monitors!

haha.. don't get me wrong, this bunny is mine and its on my laptop.. hahaha! lala-fied!

If its not the cute looks that makes normally sensible people (like me) fall for these thingies, I bet its their soft squishy nature!!! Not sure if my friends secretly poke the stickers on their monitors but I do that sometimes to the flower on my phone! *squish*

Sigh... Why is this happening to me???

I Just Love Good Smelling People

2010-03-08T16:41:00.003+08:00

I don't know about you but personally, its not that I can't stand smelly people cause all I have to do is just breathe a little less often around them (unless they really rreally stink) but I just love it when people smell good!

Contrary to the effects of smelly people where all you want to do is to somehow cease breathing and still live, run far far away or to just avoid them at all costs, GOOD smelling people puts others at ease and even attract people to hang around just a little bit more because they smell like summer~ or something along that line.

At least thats what I choose to believe but imagine the horror when I received a forwarded email some time ago telling me that smelly people are actually more attractive to the opposite sex!!

I quote from the article, "Sex pheromones are also spread through olfactory means, thus adding emphasis to smell. Pheromones serve to attract the opposite sex and have an important role in sexual attraction." Ugh! Eww!!

Now if you are brave enough, click on to find out more about this geli article and let me know what you think of it. But as for me, I still think that people should try their best to smell nice at all times!

If you don't naturally smell like summer~ and you need some help, just head over to the nearest Watsons or something and grab a bottle of these!

Either that or bathe more often everyday! Its one of my favourite things to do now that the weather is so insistent on being so annoyingly hot!!!

Adventure Starts at 1 A.M.

2010-03-05T14:57:00.009+08:00

Have you ever had the urge to just go out in the middle of the night and do something really random?

Cause that was exactly what happened to me yesterday!

It all started with a crazy SMS...

...from Audrey who was just downstairs from the room where I was!

You see, I've been cooped up in the room for the entire day studying and by dinner time I was feeling pretty much bored out of my mind!!!

so bored that I started taking weird pictures like this... Doinky! What are you doing??

So after my housemates got home I asked them to go out and play but Audrey was busy talking to someone on MSN and asked me to take the car and go out myself! Haiz haiz haiz... Then I went to bug Sun to go out but she was tired out and just wanted to stay on the bed and sleep!

"take the car and go out yourself! I want to zzz.. roar!"

Disappointed, I was going to resign to reading Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief until I fell asleep but Audrey's SMS came in and I was overjoyed! Yay!! The four of us (Audrey, Doinky, Tiger and me) trooped into the car and off we went out to play!

had to bring Tiger along because the owner wanted to stay in bed and sleep.. zzz

The time was 1:00 am and our destination was... Port Dickson!

Woohoo! Road trip!! I like!!!

After about an hour of driving, we were at Port Dickson and looking for this awesome place called Legend Water Chalet which Audrey and a bunch of our friends visited last year without me because I has classes to attend. Boo!

We followed the road signs, made several u-turns, looked out for more road signs, a few more u-turns and taa daa!

We are here!!!

The place is just beautiful...

...and the security guards were so nice, said hi to us and everything too when we waltzed into the place! Hahaha... They probably thought we were guests at the resort because we were in our pyjamas and carrying a toy each! Ho ho ho! Disguise success!

Happily we went around the resort, taking pictures everywhere, outside the chalets, by the poolside, on the bridge, etc. Haha! I haven't done something this crazy in awhile!

This is Audrey posing everywhere!

This is me and my pink flowery pants! Haha..

After taking tons of pictures, we just lazed around on the beach chairs and enjoyed the beautiful environment...

see my toes?? ah.. how nice if I can do this everyday... =D

Even Doinky wants to take picture with the panoramic view!

Hahaha!!! He looks lumpy and funny without his innards!!!

You see, the thing about this trip that makes it so much fun is that we didn't even have a reason to be there. It was just two great friends, going on an adventure and doing whatever that comes to mind in the spur of the moment!

like dipping my feet into the pool and making wet footprints by the poolside! hehe...

But of course, when it comes to adventures like these, there's someone that comes to mind...

thinking of you~

But hey, that's another story for another day! Haha... After we were done exploring and enjoying the sights of Legend Water Chalet, we headed back to the car and walked past this...

woops! sorry ya? hehehe...

And to finish up our night of randomness, we drove over to one of the public beaches of Port Dickson and grabbed something to bring back with us, something for us to keep in order to remember this trip!

And that, just about wraps up the adventurous night we had!

We drove back to KL, talking about guys to keep ourselves awake until we got home! Hehe...

What a night!

Best Bits of Project Alpha Season 1

2010-03-03T11:21:00.003+08:00

If you're a Nuffnanger or you've been hanging around the blogosphere long enough, you must've known what Project Alpha is all about right? No? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING???

Aside from being the first online series that uncovers the life of top bloggers in Malaysia, Project Alpha has been hosting a bunch of really cool blogging and video contests a few months back and the prizes offered (that's my favourite bit! hee hee) are just awesome awesome stuff!

Needless to say, I was really thrilled when Project Alpha went live and as the weeks go by, I was sitting at the edge of my seat waiting for the scoop on one blogger, my favourite blogger, the one who inspired me to start taking blogging a little bit more seriously... the one and only... Kenny Sia!!!

Personally I find his blog entries really funny and of course, its always nice to find out more about your *aherm* idol!

And just to illustrate how much of a fan I am of Kenny Sia... check out this video!

Ha ha ha! The things I do in the name of blogging...!

Anyhow, this is just a quick update! Gotta go back to my studies now and get ready for a talk at my faculty later at 2pm! The title of the talk is 3P... Wonder what its all about??

Oh and stay tuned people for Season 2 thats gonna go live soon!!

Neglect

2010-03-01T17:57:00.005+08:00

Haiz haiz haiz... Look at the state of my blog!

Can't believe its been almost a MONTH since my last update and still I haven't spilled any details that I wanted to spill yet!

As a matter of fact, I had initially thought that everybody has given up on secretnicki since there's been no comments on all my recent posts! Most probably because I have been updating so rarely for the past few months (busy busy me) but I was surprised that shortly after I posted the previous entry I had a few people bugging me about the next update!

First is none other that the person in question who came to me and asked "What are you going to spill about me? Faster write so I can read!" Haha.. I think he's a bit nervous about what I will reveal about him here!

And then there's my curious Nuffies colleagues who never fails to express their interest in this new boyfriend of mine!

Yee Hou: Why never do a proper intro of him on your blog yet?

Michelle: Hey!! You should blog about him! When are you going to blog about him?

Karen: Show us his picturesss!!! What kinda girlfriend is this don't have her boyfriend's picture in her phone wan!

Haha.. Okay now that I have established that there are at least four people who still wants to read my blog, I may just dedicate some time to writing down our story soon! But before I find the time to do that, here's a nice picture of us...

taken during our short trip to Penang last month

We don't have many to show yet but soon, there will be more! Hehe...

Status Update

2010-02-08T19:49:00.004+08:00

O hai!

Hehe.. Will spill more details soon!

How To Reject Someone Christian

2010-01-25T20:51:00.003+08:00

Haha.. I never knew that there are different ways to reject non-Christians and Christians!!

Got difference wan meh?? I want to know!

Yellow Cab

2010-01-19T20:30:00.004+08:00

In case you think I'm gonna be talking about public transport, you're wrong!

semi-misleading picture.. hehe

Aside from the joy that comes with working alongside a bunch of the wittiest and most creative young minds in Malaysia, one thing that I really like about Nuffnang is our Nuffie lunches.

Nuffies + special guest Zachboy

Not only do we enjoy good food together, it is also a time for bonding and discussions of interesting topics... some of which is NSFW and therefore cannot be elaborated here. Hehe..

I don't mean this kind of "not safe"

Of course, to top it all off, it's extra nice when you get rewarded with a nice treat for your dedication at work!

this is Charlie feeding his Angels with pizza!

Last week I had my very first Yellow Cab pizza at Dang Wangi which is located only several steps away from our office at Heritage House.

this has got to be the BEST pizza I've ever had! THE BEST!!!

Robb was so nice to pay for us all! Thank you Ah Robb!

Haha.. It's funny to see the Nuffies' reaction when I say that I never had Yellow Cab before this, the shock in their voices when they exclaim

"6 MONTHS in Nuffnang and you NEVER had Yellow Cab before???"

LOL! Paiseh, abit outdated but now I know better! Hehe..

Thank You...?

2010-01-06T02:48:00.003+08:00

Sometimes I wonder what nonsense my friends are up to on FaceBook...

Oh.. Em... Gee... Do I say thank you or should I send something back?

Back To School

2010-01-05T22:25:00.003+08:00

Happy New Year dear readers... I'm 5days late! Haha.. But it's been an awesome fun-filled 5days of this year for me. How about you??

Okay this might sound a bit random but the past six months of my life has been liberating!

Despite the fact that there are a lot of things that I cannot do and the time-constraint that comes with working around the clock, I really like the working life loads more than studies! Hence, coming back to university this semester to complete my Bachelor's Degree is just so.. -_-

Especially when I have lecturers like this...

Who's doesn't even know how to make a proper entry-level PowerPoint slide...

who uses notepad to teach?? seriously!

Either that or he's trying very hard to make us all squint-eyed nerds!

UKM.. how I wish I can say I like being here!

Dear Blog

2009-12-25T01:23:00.004+08:00

It's been awhile since I last confided in you anything of great importance to me, I guess I'm still getting the hang of all that has been going on around me.

My bad.

But anyhow, here's a little something for you to remember, on Christmas Day 2009, after a long day of preparing and cooking up a nice dinner with the wonderful Liaw family who have been nothing short of a blessing to me for the past year, I now find myself lying on my usual spot... thinking.

There are many things running through my mind now at this crazy hour (it's 1.30am now) but mainly, a certain Christmas few years back is playing in my mind.

~~~~~

A few years back, on Christmas day, at about this hour, I was in the car kissing the guy goodbye... knowing somewhere deep inside me that it will be the last time I will do so.

"I'll call you once I reach alright? I miss you already"

Those were the last words he said to me before I stepped out of his car with an emptiness in my heart.

"Goodbye"

I said to him, heading back into the house without looking back.

By the time I got out of my party stuff and got ready for bed, I was probably the last thing on his mind as he went about his travel arrangements and the like. What could I have done short of being whiny and selfishly demanding him to stay and prove me wrong? Nothing came to mind that I would want to do then so I let him go.

He never called.

I couldn't tell him that I wanted to end it over the phone when he called several days later so I let it be and listened to the familiar voice that sounded so distant, telling me half-truths that I didn't even bother registering into my mind. "When he gets back, I will tell him"

But I never did.

At least not before I went and did one of the stupidest

things that I could think of doing at that time.

On our supposed 1 year anniversary.

With his best friend.

~~~~~

Back then, I was a girl with very little to lose.

I was not taught to count my blessings because there weren't many to go around.

I was not aware of the value of my life, therefore I did not care much for the things I did with it.

And now that I know that those are all lies, that I do indeed have so much at stake, that I'm one of the most blessed person ever to live and that my life, accounts to so much, that people would literally die because of me... I just have to admit that there are still times when things are not all flowers and sunshine.

Haha... Even now, after a busy day of celebration and all... I am here emoing!

But just in case there is someone here reading this, if you are being emo on Christmas (or my sappy story made you emo), know that you are not alone in your misery... and that I am here to emo emo with you for now.

However, at day break, when I wake up to a new day... I won't stay emo!

So you better not let some silly thing keep you down!

Merry Christmas everybody... Many blessings to you and your loved ones... *cheers*

All I Want For Christmas

2009-12-21T01:55:00.000+08:00

...is in Ikea!!!

I went Christmas shopping in Ikea with Audrey and Sun last Friday and there was so many things that I wanted to buy from Ikea!! It's a good thing I don't have a lot of spare cash lying around or worse, a credit card. So I managed to keep my shopping spree under control.

We went to look around and I bought everything I needed for Christmas presents! Hehe.. Now I've got to get to work putting them together.. So fun! I just know that all the people that are receiving gifts from me are gonna love it to bits! I'm so excited!

Anyway, as I was walking along all the nice items for sale, this thought strayed into my mind and I started making a mental list of the things I would like to buy for my house... what color I want my kitchen to be, what kinda sofa I want, what type of bed, the cupboards and shelves.... and my eyes zoomed in on this!!!

Oh the love!!! I am so definitely gonna get one of these!!!!

What is your must-have item that you want for your house?

This snowy sheepskin rug is definitely at to the top of my must-have list!

Sunway Lagoon A Rip-Off?

2009-12-15T17:33:00.002+08:00

Did I mention that I went to Sunway Lagoon to celebrate my pre-birthday? No? Oh.. must've been in the other blog then!

Anyhow, I just feel like letting you folks know that Sunway Lagoon is indeed a very fun place to go with a bunch of your fun friends and I totally love the water park with all the slides and teapots pouring water down!! The roller coaster and crazy rides are fun too!

However, a word of caution for those of you who intend to go there anytime soon and you don't wanna spend a bomb on the ticket for all 5 parks (yes, they have 5 parks now), DO NOT waste your $$ on the Extreme Park!!

Reason is because almost every other thing at the park also you have to pay to play even though you paid for the park itself already! Reverse bungee have to pay, paintball have to pay, this pay that pay! Total rip-off man!

But as for me, I didn't have to pay a single cent to bring my pals there thanks to Project Alpha! Hehe... Just doing you guys a favor by letting you know.. that's all..

Aside from the Extreme Park, the rest of the place is just fun fun fun!!

Even the duck agrees with me!

To Write Love On Her Arms

2009-12-14T17:42:00.003+08:00

I have been wandering about this particular space on the net when I stumbled upon this piece of literary treasure...

"I might be simple but more and more, I believe God works in love, speaks in love, is revealed in our love. I have seen that this week and honestly, it has been simple: Take a broken girl, treat her like a famous princess, give her the best seats in the house. Buy her coffee and cigarettes for the coming down, books and bathroom things for the days ahead. Tell her something true when all she's known are lies. Tell her God loves her. Tell her about forgiveness, the possibility of freedom, tell her she was made to dance in white dresses. All these things are true."

I have not been reading a lot lately and I have not been reading a lot of good reads for a long time. Time to start doing that again.

Full story here.

Let Us Be Merry

2009-12-10T23:26:00.005+08:00

It's that time of the year again!

Shopping malls are bustling with shoppers hunting down the presents, merry folks bringing decorative items home to usher in the holiday cheer and families are making arrangements for reunions.

Very soon, a new year will be upon us and I am looking forward to the many great adventures ahead of me!

*singing* I'm dreaming of a white christmas~

Happy holidays bloggers and blog readers!

I hope all of you will have a memorable Christmas this year!!!

Note To Self

2009-12-08T16:44:00.007+08:00

Daily I subconsciously find things that makes me happy and puts me on top of the world, knowing the full truth that life is meant to be enjoyed.

But then I start noticing and comparing myself to those who are better off than me and slowly the "if only I have..." thoughts will come tearing down the mountain of joy that I've piled up for myself.

Refusing to admit defeat, I take a look on the other side of the coin and I am once again humbled. There are so many more who have so much less than me and here I am complaining.

Who am I to judge?

Who am I to compare?

I am now reminding myself again that the only one I am to compare myself to is the one who has been through it all and triumphed. The only one that I am supposed to imitate... Jesus Christ.

We are all unique in our ways because that is how we have been designed:

to ~~compliment~~ complement each other

A Trip To Cotton Candy Land

2009-12-05T22:50:00.008+08:00

Ok I'm gonna start off by confessing now that I've never felt more noob in all my life!

I'm a little past 20 years old *aherm*aherm* and I have never, I repeat, NEVER been on an airplane before!!!

How noob can that be?

Aih... So imagine the excitement I was in this morning when I got to experience my very first flight with MAS!

I was with this little monster and her daddy during the flight, so while waiting for boarding I took this picture of them! So nice!

I love the background and effect of this picture! So nice!!! Haha.. Then I proceeded to take pictures of other planes because ours is not here yet...

Air Asia plane

some other plane..

Then it was time to board so we all went in, and I guess from this picture you can more or less know where I was sitting! Hee..

...by the window!

Once we're all seated and comfortable, this little monster got a bit nostalgic and tears started streaming down her small little cheeks.

her emo moment!

So the daddy comforted her and talked her to sleep while I was busy taking picture after picture!

my house is somewhere in the far end of this picture! but I duno where..!

It's so exciting to see the buildings grow smaller, smaller, smaller until I feel like I'm looking at Google Maps! And after that... we've entered Cotton Candy Land!

Look at all the fluffy clouds!!! So cute!!!

at first they appear in big clumps

then as we flew higher they became smaller and scattered!

we flew into a cloud!

we're on top of the cloud now! woo!

hehe.. attempt at taking picture of the sun: FAIL

little monster sleeping like a baby all this time, missed everything!

someone will be very happy if all these were cotton candy!!! omg!!!!

love this picture! I'm such a good photographer! hahaha *vainpot moment*

breathtaking!

Since we were only flying from Penang to KL, it wasn't long before we were slowly heading back to earth... and I wonder what was the plane doing at this point of time when smoke came out from it's wings!

fart got so long and straight line wan meh?

Lower and lower we flew...

Zeroing in for touch down....

Smooth landing...

Docked!

And that's it! That's my first experience in flying!

Haha... Although it was only about 45 minutes long and not very adventurous, well, I gotta say it's an experience in itself getting to see the world from a different point of view. Now I can more or less understand when one of my best friends tell me why it's such a great joy for him to be a pilot. It is something totally different from sitting in a bus and going places.

Anyhow, thank you MAS for the enjoyable flight!

And sorry about the drool on your pillow, it was the baby! =P

Hehe... And just for the fun of it, let me introduce you to one of my cousins, who was waiting to pick us up at KLIA.

He must've had a looooong day!
