hi-bye Penang

Was reminded by Nutz that I've sort of abandoned my blog.
Here I'm un-abandoning this space :P

Lots of things have been running through my brain.
I guess my brain just never stop thinking about many many things.
That just proves that I'm a female. *grins*

The down down period has sorted come close to an end.
As long as the emotions do not take control of the brain. This is a tough lesson.
Anyway, life is better now with things occupied. Be it work, friends or family. *warmth*

And I really love catching up with friends,
Everyone has different encounters in life. Put it all together it is a whole lot of new experience in it.
Really can't have enough of mini gathering. *luv luv*


Btw, I'm back in Penang for the weekend + 2 weekdays.
It felt like a long weekend on Sunday night, but somehow when it comes to Monday night, I wish I could stay longer.
Probably the things that bother me most is the comfortable life that I can get in PG.
Started to rethink if my decision to work in KL is a right one.
Worse still, I started to doubt myself for not giving Aussie a try before coming back to Msia.
That is an opportunity that many people dream of. Why did I let it go so easily?
*sigh* The more I think, the more I can't explain myself.
I know it will be all different. A better life will inevitably require more sacrifice.
People at different stage, will think differently.
If only at the deciding point, we can see it clearly what each path could lead us to in the end.
We've the freedom to choose our path, but not the desired destiny. There is not short-cut. *boohoo*
Why oh life, you aren't as simple as 生老病死。

Till then, hope to say Hello again to Penang soon.
Nitez People.

11/11/11

It's another set of number that gain the world attention again.

We always start counting from 1.
Since there's so many 1s in this date equation, I pray that I'd be gifted with good start after all the downs.
I don't know where I'm going nor which paths lead to which destinations.
上天自有安排
I just gotta have faith and live life to the fullest. *winks*

2011年11月11日,被视作“一双一对,一心一意,一生一世”。

有情人,务必要珍惜你的另一半;
单身贵族,不需气馁叹气,老套的一句,希望就在明天 :)

送你们111111个祝愿:
祝福你们:
幸福每1秒,
微笑每1分,
快乐每1天,
轻松每1周,
健康每1月,
收获每1年。

枯燥无味

现在的我 很无趣
生活 也同样的乏味
就连天气也没变,中午晒死人,傍晚倾盆大雨
每天生活在一样的方程式:起床、上班、午餐、下班、雨中塞车、吃饭、看书/泡连续剧、睡觉

好怀念以前的我,有泪水有欢笑,有失落有期待
如今的我,好像不怎么能够快乐起来
不仅是独处时,就算跟一伙人大笑,也只是表面功夫

夸张点说 有点儿行尸走肉的感觉
活着的生命 空虚的心灵
对生活 对这个世界 都已不再存有热情

我不想再这样下去
好想把从前的我找回来
可是现实好像没办法
愈是想要改变 愈是不知如何是好


有谁可以帮帮我

到此为止

Image

希望所有负面的情绪可以到此为止。
我相信幸福有天也会轻敲我的门。

很欣慰有你们这班真诚、了解我的朋友。
真的谢谢你们这些日子的陪伴。











For Steve - 4S

Come across this post on Facebook and I feel like sharing

Image

"Steve Jobs, considered one of the most visionary Americans of his generation and the cofounder of Apple computers, died Wednesday. Apple's board said in a statement that Jobs died "peacefully surrounded by his family," but did not give a cause of death, although he suffered from pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer for years. He was 56. Jobs cofounded Apple in 1976 with his childhood friend Steve Wozniak. In 1984 Apple launched the famous Macintosh computer, and Jobs went on to buy Pixar from George Lucas during an 11-year absence from Apple. During Jobs’s second tenure at Apple, he introduced OSX, the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad—all considered revolutionary innovations. In 2004, Jobs announced he had a rare form of cancer, and in 2009 he was forced to take a six-month leave of absence. He returned, but health issues led him to take another leave at the beginning of 2011 before he eventually resigned as CEO in August. Apple released a statement Wednesday night saying they had "lost a visionary and creative genius" and "his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."

Now you know why the latest phone was named I Phone 4s, and not I phone 5, cause it means "For Steve" 4S... Wonderful man, wonderful creations shared for the world

Written by Potter SamLeong"

Very well written.
I like his/her thinking.
I was quite annoyed by all the accusation that most people have made on complaining there is no launching on iPhone 5. It's annoying because the entire page of my Facebook main page was all about this no. 5 non-existence.
I could understand that might come out due to disappointment.
But again, Apple never promise anything about a new iPhone 5.
It's all rumor that created by humans.
Imagine if nobody has started off with saying there could be an iPhone 5, how the new iPhone 5 would look like, will you guys get so disappointed with it?

Human's greed is never satisfied.
Human complains, regardless of good/bad.
Worse still, human has no sense of empathy. Selfish!

Right now, after knowing the loss of Steve Jobs', people are still relating it to the reality of no iPhone 5. =.=
*sigh* It's pathetic. If you are in his family's shoes, your loved one is gone. But what people care is only the product invented. How cruel.
Please make sense with it. The inventor does not owe you a new product, you should actually be proud and appreciate what he has done on the revolutionary which might has indirectly sacrificed his health and life.

*tsk tsk*
I'm not a super fan of Apple, nor I am anti of Apple's products.
But just couldn't bear with this insulting human behavior.

RIP, Steve Jobs.

1st Pakistan Visit

Some of you might know. I've just returned from 5-day Pakistan visit.
Well what I can say is that, it was not as worse as what I had in mind, but at the same time it is not up to my liking. I felt like going home even the first day has not ended. Erm..honestly I'm quite reluctant to be on the trip, but sometimes you just don't have choice in life.

The first difference I sensed was the smell! The smell from the people, the air, the water, everything. It's hard for me to describe, it is sorta a strong, dense smell and you'd rather not breathing in. I'm not sure whether it's because they do not bathe frequently with the add-on of 'repugnant' cologne which made it worse. However, it might be the same way if a foreigner visited our country and felt uncomfortable with our environment. In the end, it's just a problem of adaptation. From Day 1 till Day 5, I'd say my resistance lever has reduced tremendously, in which I proclaimed that my nose was malfunctioned. 我的鼻子坏掉了.
Thankfully, I felt like I'm able to breathe once again The moment I landed in Malaysia. But somehow my luggage still contained the 'Pakistani' smell.

Same thing goes to the food. Prolly the spices they used are not something that suit my taste bud. What they normally eat is bread (naan, pita etc) with a variety of curries,dhal and raw or pickled vegetable. Most of the people prefer bread over rice. The rice they grow in the country is the longer in shape and harder as well. I was told that they do not use coconut milk for their curries, but palm oil. That gives a very oily texture for the curries. Furthermore, I consider myself as someone who has sweet tooth. I get happy easily with desserts, BUT this does not happen in Pakistan. Their desserts are basically sugar, made of whole lump of sugar + syrup. One bite and that's it. It is way beyond my tolerance level. But the people over there eat as though it is of normal sweetness. Basically, the food I consumed over there is just to fill up the stomach and hardly enjoy anything. The food is either too much spices, too salty, too spicy or too sweet that I hardly could comprehend. By the way, they eat a lot as compared to people in Malaysia, might even been more than those ang mo. O.O

First meal in Pakistan. Nasi biryani + forgot what chicken + bread(nt shown here)

The buffet banquet at Salt and Pepper Village, serving local dishes.

Next, is the traffic. I thought it is worse enough in Vietnam.
But hey, the traffic in Vietnam seems like nothing comparing to Pakistan.
4 rows of vehicles in 2 narrow lane. Nobody is following the traffic signs or traffic lights.
Basically everyone just pushes their horn and they'd get through. If you do not give way for either slow driving or blocking the way, the horn button will be triggered continuously until the matter is resolved. In Bali, Indonesia, I've experienced how two cars from opposite directions can pass through a single lane with a gap of maybe less than 5cm by moving slowly. But over here in Pakistan, they drive so closely and yet they are speeding. I've been well trained for not to shout in the car even when I'm afraid sometimes ago. So I manage to hide my fear but shouted frantically with hidden voices.

Several unforeseen incidents occur throughout the trip. Flat tyre on a rainy day on the way to expo, spent few hours before the car could be on the run again. Flat tyre again after the expo. According to the agent, the car tyre has never been punctured for 5 plus years. We're somehow too lucky to encounter this. But then it is sorta expected with the bad road condition (big hole + lotsa stones) in some of the places.

The media has shown how unstable this country is. You'd never know how true it is until you make a visit to the place. But because of the impression given by the media, people might not be so adventurous for safety purposes. It might be true that for part of the country closer to Afghanistan has a different story. But in Lahore and Karachi, it is considered as quite peaceful though there is a lot of army check/inspection along the way. and sometimes I would doubt that if that would help. Even entering the hotel, we need to go through checking like what normally we see in airport.

Thanks to this trip. It has changed my initial perspective due to media. I do not mean to say that media has been reporting false news, but rather giving out false impression. Quoted from my agent, let's say if a bomber attack has occurred in the country, when it is being reported in all media available all over the world, worse still it will be reported repeatedly for different time slots on the TV news, it would seem like a Big serious matter. Definitely, that makes sense and I totally agree with it. This is for sure not good for the country development and affected its economy directly. Though I did not stay long enough to judge, but within those few days, it's all safe. Some has said that the chaotic was created by some countries which intend to be superior of all in terms of power, wealth etc. According to the conversation with one of the customers, as Pakistan is made of a real big piece of land, the climate in Pakistan varies from minus 30 to positive 50 degree Celsius. You can have everything in this one country, from greenery to snow mountain and to desert at the same period of a year!! Amazingly, the can have 4 seasons of fruits and vegetables at one time (strawberry, banana, rock melon, grapes, papaya, pineapple, peach, apple (they claim that their apple is sweetest of all)). You name it and they have it. It will be really amazing if one day this country has been developed, it is possible to compete with the China market. The population of 1 or 2 states would be on par with the population in Malaysia. It is really out of mind of how powerful this country would be if without the politician complication. Perhaps that explains why there are interference from some countries who think they are superior over others. =X

However it is true regarding the social class categorization. The saying of the rich would get richer and the poor would get poorer. Only those on the top gets to be exposed to more opportunity and suppressing the poverty. A lot of factors could change this, but sorry to say it is none of my concern. *Double =X* Just hope that by being more educated, things could change gradually. Surprisingly their communication in English is in fact excellent. The middle to upper class could converse in fluent English, which might be even better than some in Malaysia and definitely better than those in Thai and Vietnam. To be fare, I couldn't comment more as I've not been to other Asian countries yet. However it is really good to have a common language, so communication has not been a problem thus far.

Not sure if I will be sent to this country again. If you were to ask me, it is a mixture of yes and no for me to visit again. But I'm sure given with more time, I'll be more prepared to explore this place again!

Hmmm...it is getting boring.
Well, pardon me. It's a business trip. I couldn't be faking my feelings while expressing through. Not many photos been taken as well. My memory has been getting worse and that's why I'm capturing this piece of experience in the blog so that it could stay forever.

Smurf The Movie

Image

Wakaka~
Have you smurf yet? XD
I bet the earliest you could, is on 1st of Sept. Lalalalalala~

Just watched smurf yesterday, for FREE.
By the way, I was so close that I didn't get to watch.

It was given as free redemption with the newspaper cutting coupon from The Star dated last Sunday.
Image
It was a chaos outside the cinema yesterday due to poor planning from the organizers.
Didn't want to pinpoint whose fault was it since I do not know what happened internally.

Went at almost 7.30pm, the queue was super long already.
But thanks to the chaos, else would not have redeemed the second last 2 pairs of tickets.
Imagine the frustration for people who has started queuing up since few hours ago.
Luckily the disappointment was not as great on our side in the end.
Image
Since it's the last few tickets, the seating was extremely bad, first row in the cinema. @@ My first time in fact. 哭笑不得

The movie is 'smurfingly' awesome.
I have been eager to watch this since months ago when I first knew about it.
The blue little creatures are so adorable, so cute.
Mr. Clumsy is the cutest ever for anyone that behaves the same.
It might not be a superb great movie that is comparable to Captain America, Transformer etc etc.
But it is definitely worth watching! The warmth, loving touch from the movie.
Do Smurf if you have the time ^^

Image

#La La La La La La Sing a Happy Song
La La La La La La Smurf the Whole Day Long
*Dance*
Next Time You're Feeling Blue
Just let a Smile Begin
Happy Things Will Come to You
So Smurf Yourself a Grin
La La La La La La Now You Know the Tune
La La La La La La You'll Be Smurfin' Soon#

P/S: Thanks for the newspaper cutting and your kind patience. :P

Life expectancy

I'm not sure how accurate is this.
No harm trying since you would gain more knowledge while you're answering the questions. (=

How long will you live?
Do not worry. This is not a spam.

Mine is 69, rather short..but oh well..you never know.
So what's yours?


No smoking please

It's so dusty here *cough cough*
Hello~ Anybody's home?

Not sure if anyone still cares to visit this space..
I'm writing this during working hour. =X
It's not that I have nothing to do, in fact there is a lot.
But I'm simply not in the mood.
Even though I've just started working for 3.5 months, but I would really like to have a getaway.
My Penang girlfriends will be heading to Aussie land soon for a visit, reuniting with the Penang kia at the land down under. How I wish I could be a part of this trip!!

Life is indeed truly unpredictable.
If you were to ask me how's life recently, my honest answer is: Life sucks.
Never that I thought this would happen in my life, at least not at this stage of life.
There is no one, nothing that I could blame in actual.
Perhaps one day I'd understand why this challenge has been put into my family.
It was really a tough period. I really hope that the good news right now is not a temporary one.

How would you react if you were told that you or your loved ones left with few weeks/ few months/ few years?
Even though we know that there is an end to every living creature, but it is just hard to accept the statement above.

Life, is  f r a g i l e.
Cherish all the joyous moments while you can.
Things that cannot be bought with money is the richest asset that a man could have.
Without LOTS of money, you can still survive in one way or another.
But without health, even if you have mountains of money and an ocean of gold, you would not live well to enjoy them. Health is wealth. Most of us are born wealthy in this sense.

If you have spent time reading up to this, please take good care of your health.
Eat with balance diet, live a healthy lifestyle, minimize liquor intake whenever possible, and most importantly DON'T EVER SMOKE! If you're smoking currently, be strong and quit it!!!
I'm sorry to behave badly one day when I found you smoking. You have to understand, you are that one that acted selfishly in the first place. I guess you would not expect the others to respect you. Even though you are not committing a crime directly, but indirectly you are! You are killing the people around you gradually, the effect might not be immediate, but the consequences will last.

If you really love yourself and the people around you, don't even try to start smoking out of curiosity.
The trials would cause you a long suffer to quit it.
However if you have started it, I beg you, please quit it asap with your strongest will. Your loved ones will really appreciate your good intention. I'll be the first one to support you if there is no one else.
Don't get defeated by peer pressure. When it is the time to say no, you MUST say it.

We are civilized people. We judge by proves. Since there are SO MANY reports and research showing bad consequences as a result of smoking to yourself and others, what is your excuse to smoke?
If you have not come across any, please google it i.e. consequences of smoking.
Should I say that you are not even eligible to be categorized as human being (the most intelligent creature on earth)? Because you are like a new born baby, you got no idea to judge what is the right thing to do and what is not. If you are a university graduate, shame on you!!!!

If you have the most basic sense, intelligence and the ability to understand, you should know very well by now that:
smoking = bad breath, yellowish teeth = wasting money = force others to be the victim of second hand smokers =  destroyed/harmed every organ inside your body  =  cardiovascular, heart disease =  increased the chances of activating the cancer cell= causing death = a miserable life to you and your loved ones.

If you think I'm b*lls**t-ing, read and google yourself. Your challenge is much welcomed.
What do I get from smoking?

Bear in mind, there are people who stay strong and fight bravely to survive longer.
You don't have the right to steal away the lives of the innocence.



P/S: Dear readers, I'm all fine. Just need to release the emotional thoughts.

快乐 不快乐

Image

渐渐忘了发自内心的快乐是什么
再多的微笑 都只是表面功夫

郑秀文的快乐不快乐一直在脑海里游荡
天亮醒了是因为心情好了?
还是就想说不如这样算了

美好的旅行



相愛是兩個人美好的旅行
分手是兩個人各自的修行

並不是什麼末日
世界還是老樣子

就算沒了緣分
不代表沒愛的能力

那些曾让我成长的人与事 谢谢~

自以為

方大同 & 徐佳瑩 - 自以為


哈哈 男生的無所謂都是自以為 =X
Don't attack me~~~
只是就事论事 :P

Current replay: Ina - I wanted you

This song has been on my mind since the moment I woke up today.
Probably posting up will help a little.



I was supposed to be at Phillips Island, joining the rest for OC now.
Enjoy to the fullest for those who get to be there (=
Happy Easter in Bunny year everyone ^^

Driving 'lesson'

Conquered the driving journey from PG to KL, within KL and back to home!!
Haha. It's as though I'm having some hard core driving lesson these 2 weeks
Havent been driving in Msia for 2 years.
The last time I drove was when I visited Tasmania due to lack of Aus approved drivers.

It feels good to be home ((=
I'd only appreciate home after being away for awhile..This has become a fact..I'm such a terrible daughter =X

I've not seen my daddy for more than 3 weeks..
Have not even celebrated his bday in March..
How ridiculous.. =.=
That's becoz we (my dad and I) took turn to leave PG..

"长大了 翅膀硬了 会飞了"
This statement is always made by the adults when the kids kept MIA
Oh well, at least my reasons are valid..lalala~

Hello Blog

Haven't been active in blogging for quite awhile.

My current status: Jobless =S
Still in the midst of looking for a suitable job.
Not sure is it just me, or it is harder to get a job as I studied Chemical Eng

Sometimes I'd ponder n wonder..
How would my life be if I studied accounting, finance, auditing, statistics..
If that's the case, seems like it would be easier for me to get a job.

Hopefully there would be good news soon.

------------------------------
There is a part of me that have never changed.
Would only turn to blogging when mood is not right.

Just completed my 1st drama series ever since I'm back in Msia
--> 爱似百汇 Love Buffet (The english name of the drama is kinda funny, directly translated)

I guess the reason why ppl like to watch 偶像剧 is becoz certain things couldn't be found in the real world. 那是一种 酸酸 甜甜 暖暖的幸福

-灰色的天空 消失的彩虹 世界都被寂寞占有-

逃亡

孙燕姿 逃亡

踩著月光打开车窗
离开这城市想找个解放
一路开往最高那一座山
孤单的想像寂寞的逃亡

我想是偶尔难免沮丧
想离开想躲起来
心里的期待总是填不满

我看著山下千万的窗
谁不曾感到失望
就算会彷徨也还要去闯

关于未来只有自己明白
不想让心情被现实打败
一路开往最高那一座山
孤单的想像寂寞的逃亡

我站在靠近天的顶端
张开手全部释放
用月光取暖给自己力量

才发现关于梦的答案
一直在自己手上
只有自己能让自己发光


好想逃开这个是非之地

好想痛痛快快地呐喊

怎么事情会变成这样?

安静

今年的生日还蛮安静的
有点不习惯了

当一个人无所事事的时候
胡思乱想的成分就会多了

想太多 无益身心健康
可是 就是制止不了

有一些事情 不懂得如何决定
有一些事情 决定了却想反悔
不晓得是不是现在的过于平静 令我想回到从前
人 都是贪得无厌的动物吗?
还是那只是我 难以知足

人人都说我变得比从前快乐
我从前真的那么不快乐吗?

我想
我是不适合过于空闲的生活

好想念墨尔本吖

爱哭鬼

今晚 我又哭了
只是 我在想 我哭 不是因为我失去平静的思绪
眼泪会流 很多时候是心里压抑不了某种情绪
眼眶太浅了 只要稍微想多一点 泪水就会滑落

可能一次过 想着的问题太多了 负荷不了
又或者是问题没得到解决方案 不知所措

爱哭鬼
是时候睡觉了
晚安

未来

不知不觉 2011年的第一个月过去了
虽然一天还是24个小时,可是长大了,发现时间好似过得越来越快

好快的,二月就这样到来了
原本二月该是充满农历新年喜气洋洋的气氛的,可是这次我却感受不到。
自从design project忙完后,都不曾好好休息
咳嗽已经像蜜糖一般黏着我3个星期了,咳得我的肺都快喘不过气来了

从纽西兰-悉尼-毕业典礼-墨尔本最后观光,再到跨年以及刚刚结束的巴里之旅
好像玩到有点过火了
现在是时候收拾心情
认真地思考未来

没有梦的人生 真的没有意义
好羡慕那些追梦的一群

我的未来 是一个未知数
我要的未来 你究竟是什么

Crossroads

Just so you know, I'm back in PG.
At first I wanted to come back silently..LOL
Cz I feel that I needed a rest and also I've quite a few tasks/issues to do/think about.
Guess that didnt work out.
Met up with primary sch friends once I touched down.
Image

I've actually come back to Msia on the last day of 2010.
Mind you, my new year was not spent on the airplane.
Haha. That's the response of most people when they heard that my flight is on 31st.
It was an early morning flight. I would not wanna celebrate the brand new year on a flight even though that would make it more memorable than ever. :P

It was the 1st time I actually spent my 31st in KL.
As we have the self conscious that we have passed the age of playing around with sprays and foams, thus we tried to avoid the congestion traffic (cars and human-being).
Nothing fascinating about it though. Fireworks watching overlooking Petronas twin tower and KL tower on level 12 of the apartment we stayed. Half of the fireworks were blocked which was kinda wasted.
ImageI don't have any nice picture taken. Haha. This is super blur as I was using compact s95. I ended up shooting using video mode =P

Hmmm..Guess I really don't have a clear mind of what to blog.
Haha. Looking at what I've already typed, it deviates a lot from the original purpose.

Again, I'm at the cross road of choices and decisions.
Once again, I'm being myself..being indecisive about the future.
Where I want to work? Msia? Singapore? Aus?
Should I still proceed with PR application??
There are several things that have been bothering me..

I just had a super weird dream this morning.
I dream that I was having a proposal to do a Master/PhD. =S
It is about a study on growth of microorganism (small plants) in water and dry land.
I even can see the images of the growth across 2-3 weeks lifespan until they decompose.
Really very very strange. The reason that it is strange is because I've never come across such experiment/images at all.
Now I start to wonder if deep inside me I wanted to do that doctorate degree.
But this is something that I rejected strongly after my summer research and research study during one of the semester.
Hmm..I was told that I might have been working on the wrong research projects..as in those were not within my interested zone.
=.= Why on earth would I have such dream..I don't wanna have one more thing to think about *Fainted*

Regarding PR application, I do not know whether I should.
The application rules have gotten stringent..i.e. Pharmacy, Accountant, Mechatronics Engineer are not on the list anymore.
The rules would be tighter after July 2011 as the IELTS results required must be band 8 and above for each individual test as compared to band 7 currently.
Which mean..I'm eligible to apply in favour.
*Sigh* But I would need to take IELTS for the 2nd time or maybe more judging from my super lousy English.

*Scream*
Why is there so many things to think about?
Friends are getting job offer one by one. I'm still at the point of confusion.
Study life is really much better without all these worries.
