Life so far

Wow, it has been a long time... too long in fact...

Too many things have changed, uncountable in fact. Gone to Adelaide to further my studies, enjoyed it there. Think about it. A person who does not enter the kitchen much, actually had to do his own cooking??? After coming back, everyone said I put on a lot of weight. Amazing. What one's cooking can do to one's self.

Lotsa new experiences in Adelaide, too much to list down. In a house with 7 other housemates, 5 Hong Kongners (how does one call them?), 1 from Darwin, and 1 from Taylors, Malaysia as well.

Amazing.

What's even more amazing is that when I came back, a lot has changed.

Oh wait. One thing that will never change: Malaysian Politics. Sigh...

My friends from Taylors, most in hometown or working, no time to spend with me anymore. Boo hoo...

Where did they all go? Does my leaving change so much?

JQ has managed to enter the Top 10 in Mirror's Ambassador Search. Kudos, and use this as a springboard to go for further greatness. I know you can do it.

What surprised me was you getting a boyfriend? Thought you swore off them until after uni life? Guess people change a lot.

Went Guangzhou from 27th-31st. Eat, eat and eat. Everyday different restaurants, different types of food. One from Szechuan, one from NorthSouth (area in China), one local restaurant, just to name a few.

Best thing is, getting a set of books titled (not sure what they are, but this is my own translation): Ming Dynasty's happenings, or 明朝那些事.

Seven books in total, as of this post, am at book 3.

Wow. A new year has arrived. First day was 1.1.11. This set of numbers will not happen again for perhaps another 100 years, or longer.

New year, new resolutions. My resolutions? Sorry, unsure yet.

Going back to Adelaide on the 5th of February, thanks to my silliness. Made a mistake, mistook the date, hence going back too early. Sigh...

Parents want me to find a job during the next hols, so will only come back in November...

Wonder what else will change. Hope this year will be full of happy events.

Thanks readers, and hope you all have a good year!

Good luck and cheers!

Looking back on life

Y'all know.. I haven't posted in a long time.. well.. basically.. it's because I don't have anymore interests in writing a blog anymore.. I used to think that blogging was good for several reasons: improve writing.. to release pent-up frustrations.. to share your thoughts with the whole world and friends..

But now I know.. it's not that simple.. It takes dedication, time and energy to maintain a blog.. it takes a lot of emotion.. to put down into writings about things that happened earlier in the day.. sometimes.. some things are too difficult.. too painful to put down.. to revisit..

Our mind is very wonderful.. almost anything.. we can revisit.. in detail.. reliving some moments that are cherished.. that are impressionable.. and yet.. why is it that there are some things that we do not wish to remember.. and yet.. it keeps bouncing around in our mind.. over and over again.. 

I mean.. don't you remember those moments? The moments where you hurt members of your family with a few words? Those words you used on your friends in the heat of the moment? The break ups in our lives? Do you wish those moments could be taken back? Could be changed?

Sadly.. life is like going on a ride.. a one way ride.. with no way to get back.. to relieve moments.. to change decisions.. everything we do.. we only have one chance.. and once it's gone.. Poof! It's gone! No use crying over split milk!

This was something I wrote for an assignment..

Life,
is like a roller coaster ride,
for the first time.
Has its ups and downs,
twists and turns,
surprising one at every corner.

Each corner,
is a new challenge,
a new obstacle to overcome.
The only thing saving you,
from a deadly fall,
is the guard rail,
that holds you closely,
protects you,
like a friend,
like a lover,
like a family member

Every twist and turn,
every up and down,
it is there,
without fail.
Offering you support,
protecting you,
least you fall.

At the end,
what's left with one,
are memories,
of the ride,
of having,
someone, something,
there to support you.

Look back,
remember what it is like,
for one chance,
is all one has,
on this roller coaster of life

But.. I wonder.. if we all had chances to go back and change things.. would we change anything..?

Avatar, and something for us to learn.

Oh. Oh my. What a show. What a show. If only Malaysia would come up with producers like this. If only. If only people would stop being jealous of other's success by talking their heads off, and learn. Look with your eyes, you look but you do not see. You hear, but you do not listen. You touch, but you do not feel.

There is a story behind this movie, something that everyone should learn. Even if you watch it once, twice, or many times, if you do not truly see, then, you should not watch. Learn, people of Malaysia. See with your eyes, listen with your ears, feel with your touch, speak with your brain, taste with your heart. 

Jealousy is not a crime. But, the fool looks on with jealousy. The normal look on with jealousy, and feel lucky that the world has geniuses. The truly smart one, looks on, learns from the genius, incorporates the good into himself, and improve himself.

People, why do we look upon what others have with jealousy? Why are we not able to learn from them and improve ourselves? Why is it that we look but we do not see? We hear but we do not listen? This movie teaches us a lot, makes us rediscover who we truly are. It affects us in many different ways. 

Ask yourself the following:

What have you learnt from this movie? 

How can you improve from watching this movie? 

The life that you live in, is it reality, or are you living in a dream.

Back

It's been too long, my readers. Times have changed and passed, like the grains of sand, trickling down, never to stop for anyone. Who are we to argue with Time, and Fate? For these two, lead us whereever they desire, to do whatever they so wish, and in the face of such powerful forces, even the most powerful person, riches person, is like a weak baby in the grasp of them. Not knowing when, where our fragile life will be snuffed out like a candle in the wind, what are we to do in the hands of such powers?

To control the things we do at every moment of time. To learn from each and every mistake we make. To make the right decisions as each crossroad of life appears before us. To live life to the fullest, and not give up, even in the face of adversity. To live life to the fullest. To enjoy the company of those placed together with us, to thank them for their love and support.

Who are we to try to control others? Who are we to change the fate of others? Who are we to place obstacles in the way of others? We are but playthings of the larger powers of the Universe, pawns in their game that they play, for if they wish, we are nothing in the face of them.

Anyway, enough of all these drab and boring stuff. Lets talk about what happened since the last time I updated.

SOC Media Carnival happened. Career Fair happened. My heart was shattered.

First of all, some people asked me, why is it that I'm always involved in activities like these? For one, they don't seem to find me. Trying to enter the Student Council showed me one thing, they do not take kindly to new people, for they led me on a wild-goose chase without even giving me a reason. Next, I was the one who found all these, Media Carnival was when I approached their booth, and before I knew it, I was involved in a tiring day that lasted for around 10 hours. Almost half a day. Fun though, no complaints there.

Next was Career Fair. And heartbreaking. Remember Zoe, my dear readers? Yep, she was the one who roped me into it, though, no complaints once again.. at least not until the later part of the day.. Before 8, I was waiting there, dressed formally. Bet I could pass off as a TCHT student, hehe. So there I was, giving my help whenever needed, until I was tired, but still held on till 3, which was when the event ended. No lunch, no rest, not even a chance to sit down. Sigh.. the things I do.. But anyway, I'm used to these 'torture', so no harm done! But what happened next was sad.. real sad..

Well.. how was I to know that she hated people who messaged her, who commented on her Facebook? How was I to know that she did not want people to get too close to her? No thanks from her that day.. even after I sent her back, because of the ominous rain clouds that hinted at heavy rain within the next half hour(I was right). But no.. she thought I was overly friendly.. and told me in no uncertain terms that I was to stay away from her.. Sigh.. the things I try to do for my friends..

Guess I really should give up on her.. 'sides.. shes way out of my league.. I knew it since the first time I saw her.. She looked like a princess.. so regal.. so attractive.. and now.. haiz..

Before this becomes too much, it's time to stop.. till next time.. my favorite readers.. till next time..

Updates!!

Finally in mood to write again.. sorry for the late update.. 

Anyway.. last week went on day trip with Taylors CF to Bukit Cahaya! Nice!! Food, fun, songs, games, cold house.. sigh.. wanna go again..

Food!! Brought some, some provided by members, pizzas bought by CF Committee, Thanks folks!! Though it was Hari Raya for some monkeys who managed to steal some cookies off the girls.. pity.. pity..

Fun!! We had a sharing session, where some folks shared their most embarrassing moments or weirdest dream!! Never knew those could happen to them, never knew someone could wish for something out of a movie, and have it happen to her friend.. what a pity.. sob story.. sigh.. Life's like that..

Songs!! Mainly Christian songs, so whats a Non-Christian gotta do except just mouthing the words and enjoying the tunes??

Games!! Group work!! Wow, was blindfolded, and had to carry a girl fireman style, though sorry for the off-balance, my fault.. Poison Ball!! Think dodgeball, but smaller scale!! One person surrounded by others, and they have to hit him with the ball!! Whee..

We went to a Four Seasons house.. Autumn was the season then.. Cold.. beautiful.. I wanna go to a Four Season Country!! Perhaps Japan!! Sakura flowers.. sigh.. reminds me of Para Para Sakura!

Can I go again? Perhaps.. If I knew the way.. Thanks for inviting me y'all.. 

On a happier note, I met her again in College!! Found out more about her!! But the more I knew about her.. the more I knew I had no chance with her.. sigh.. though I hope I can be friends with her.. sigh..

Updates!! And Relationships!!

Man.. so bored.. so lazy.. don't wanna do anything.. just wanna chill.. can't.. assignments.. so many things to do.. Thanks to H1N1.. midterm break chopped into half, and brought forward..

Merdeka!! Merdeka!! Yea.. happy 52nd Birthday to Malaysia!!

Ya know.. if I received a dollar everytime my heart is lost to a gal.. I would be rich.. if I received a dollar for everytime I fell for a gal who has a boyfriend.. I would be doubly rich.. if I received a dollar for everytime I fell for a gal who is not interested in a boyfriend, or to be more specific, not interested in me, I would be triply rich (if there is such a word). Sadly.. I'm not any of them.. Fact is.. breakups are part of our everyday, mundane life (for some of us, at least), and that they are part of the obstacles and challenges we face, to make ourselves stronger! Those above mentioned.. well.. errmm.. okayyy.. maybe they have not changed me, at least not that I can see, but one can always hope, can't he?

Man, oh man, I don't know whether my taste is good, or just plain bad luck. 89% of the gals I fall for have boyfriends, 10% of them politely say no, thanks, but you're not my type.. :(, 1% say that they are not interested in having a boyfriend currently. Okay, maybe the statistics are exagerated, but still.. Should I laugh or cry?

Nah.. give me the 3rd option anyday, anytime.. cheer up, take stuff day by day..

Last Thursday.. 3rd of September.. CRR tutorial.. was asked to play the part of a gay guy.. one thing I have to make certain, I'm Not Gay!! But apparently it was such a hit with my classmates.. though the props were thought of on the spot.. sigh.. huge embarrassment... ;(

Anyways.. ciao.. I haven't started PR1 assignment yet.. sigh..

Oh yea!! My new laptop!! Apple!! Whee!!!

Waahhh..

Everyone got blog.. and everyone updating dilligently... I want to as well.. but lazy.. no time.. assignments.. crap..

His fault for making a guy who dunno how to dance to dance in front of everyone.. crap lar wei.. was teased last wednesday in Clubs and Societies Day.. why? Because of my cap..


EPL started yesterday! Hooray! Me weekends are filled with joy, laughter, boos and jeers again!! Go Manchester United!! We Rox! Frank Lampard comparing Wazza (Wayne Rooney) to Gazza (Paul Gascoigne)??? C'mon, both are different in their own way!! Though its nice to hear praise for Rooney!! Viva la Manchester United!!

I wanna new laptop.. one that can go online.. me old one was spoiled.. was promised a new one after entering UNISA.. when should I go pick out 1? Any suggestions? Ruth? You the IT girl in FICM?? Recommend me a good one please.. not too expensive though..

Teach me howta insert textbox!! Lonely in me blog.. no one to talk to.. no one leaving comments.. sigh.. Maybe blogging is not my type, since I so lazy? But I wanna go on bandwagon.. since its the craze nowadays.. What happened to the times on diaries.. where partners will exchange diaries after getting together...

Met a gal in CF last meeting.. WOW!! Darn Interesting!! And she even said a prayer for me.. sweet girl.. bless her heart.. no one ever done that.. I think I'm in Lurvvvee!! Her name.. Zoe.. pronounced like Zoey.. don't ask me why.. anyone can get me her number?? Me wanna get to know her better!! And its not fair to say that I entered CF just to meet girls!! I entered to gain more friends, and I have not regretted it ever since!! (Though this post does not help my case.. heheheh...)

Relationships to be talked about in next post folks.. this post has become wwwaaayyy too long.. longer than I expected. at least.. and the topic will be talked about since SOMEONE is always wondering why people fall in and out of relationships all the time, and hence she has an insecurity problem.. Alright Teoh, time to shutup before she comes after you in a bbbaaaddd temper...

Anyways.. see you all in class, and those whom are not in my class, comments are welcomed, same goes for those in my class!! Tata, or as the Japanese like to say, Sayonara!
