the winner is....

i am a kiasu person

maybe it's because of my heredity, or i am just a jealous person

i can't accept when other people have advantages over me

i hate it when people get the credit when i put in more effort than them

i do not like the feeling of being a loser

my kiasu-ism often led me to the most negative thoughts

i often think that it's the end of the world when i do not get something accomplished

but then sometimes, i wonder what makes a winner in this world

is it the richest person?

is it the healthiest person?

is it the most famous person?

is it the most admirable person?

i see people fight, struggle, compare, insult, and even kill to be the so called 'winner'

but yet, what defines a winner in this world?

i am the winner in my own world, who cares about the reality? x)

i need not be rich, i need not be famous, i need not be the best that people expect of me

cuz i am already a winner in my own world

as if (touchwood) i were to die soon, at least i know i tried my best to live my life to the fullest, and i still am...

just a random thought that suddenly hits me after attending the Asian Business Society's call out meeting; oh man, this is a harsh, competitive world we are living in out there; and it's getting tougher every minute...

it'll just take you less than 5 mins to finish reading..

.... unless you are a stalker who is damn interested in my oh-so-interesting life. =D


okay, so i said i was busy moving into an apartment millenniums ago, and many of you will be thinking... "herm, how does may's crib loooks like..."

ponder no more......

cuz turn to your left....


then turn to your right....




Hello world, welcome to my crib....




once u step inside, u'll see the simple yet SOPHISTICATED living room.....




with an *ehem* elegant dining table...



and the place where all the guiltiest pleasures happen.....



and the hallway to the unknown .....



the place where everybody craps....



to my room away from room.... x)



my room is usually not that messy, as a matter of fact, i am a clean and tidy person....

my friends even said that I have O.C.D (obsessive compulsory order);

well, I just say that I am a very organized person.....

and to the explanation on why my room looks like shit in the picture....

I JUST CAME BACK FROM SHOPPING

the stuffs that i sapu from the mall .....

freaking nike for only $40! you can't even find that in Petaling Street!

and damn Old Navy for having clearance...

although thanksgiving and christmas were sooo over, but hey, how could i possibly ignore the POST CLEARANCE SALE???



and continuing with the quick brief what's hot and what's not with me...

NOW I am so motivated to go to the gym, and in fact, I went there yesterday.....I even bought shoes to motivate me-self, see?

and sorry lynn, there goes my effort during our hot babe regime few monthS ago..... gaah... >.<





till I have something new for you to stalk about..... adios!

it is a pure coincidence on why i created the last post.

"Jimmy Choo is a Hakka Chinese shoe designer based in London and is best known for his exquisitely hand-made, incredibly expensive shoes and handbags. Choo was born in Penang, Malaysia, and studied at Cordwainers' Technical College. Born into a family of shoemakers, it comes as no surprise that he created his first shoe at the tender age of 11..."

I am a Hakka Chinese, and I am from Penang!!!


hhheeerrmmmm... it doesn't take a genius to figure what i'm thinking eh? x)

now...



BUT





in the near future...

hakka....

people asks me, which ethnicity that I belong to...

I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I AM A HAKKA


客家


but I am ashamed that I speak no Hakka

woops

the name suggested it...

currently, this is the wallpaper to my desktop...

for those who doesn't know him, he is the laughing Buddha...

and he indeed lives up to his name...

cuz when my friend saw my wallpaper, they burst out laughing...


and when i feel bored, he makes me laugh as well..... =D

wise men say: -

"Only fools rushed in."

My mom says: -

"Always find a man who loves you more than you love him..."

What people believe: -

"Love is blind"

What I think:-

"Love yourself more than anyone else"

Ahhh..... Shouldn't I just win a Nobel Prize for saying that?

this is a dedication to those who thinks that boyfriend-girlfriend issue is so powerful that you cannot live without.

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE PEOPLE.

there are more things to life than not having a boy/girlfriend, just broke-up, going all ga-ga over some girl/boy, thinks that it's the end of the world if u're never been into any relationship even when you're already 21.....

seriously, there are much more in life than that.

think positive. xD

OMG, likeee, shouldn't I just win another award for saying that??? lol...

and owh, no offense people, just treat it as a motivation...

jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the....

OH MY FREAKING GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE IN 2008 ALREADY!!

i know i am 18 days too late to wish u guys happy new year, but hey, when u are in my position, sometimes, the year, the date, the day doesn't matter....

and to illustrate you my point...

I HAVE YET TO MAIL THOSE CHRISTMAS CARDS

even though I am like, 24 days too late???.....

but hey, since i am already that late, might as well keep it for next this year's christmas eh??

and did i hear someone mentioned that it's 20 days till chinese new year???

why din't i receive any red chinese new year's card yet? *HINT!*

while waiting for my bubur....

procrastination hit me as usual, and so instead of doing something productive like lets' say.... studying? , i did something even more productive ---

CHECKING OUT, a.k.a stalking my friends...

ever since facebook came into my life, i rarely visit my friendster account, other than to check my comments (what happened to the term "testimonial"???) and some forwarded messages that end up in my trash....

trust me, you'll do the same once you started using facebook.com....

and so, while waiting for my bubur to cook, i decided to pay my old friends in friendster a visit....

friendster hasn't change much since i dumped it almost a year ago; it still has the same old layout, typical boring applications...

and owh, how can i miss out the la-la-ness of friendster?


all thanks to the frenzy trend that's going in Japan and Taiwan, local girls now have become act-cuters wannabes....

not that I have particularly anything against people trying to look cute in photos and post them into sites like friendster...

no, seriously, i have nothing against them....

especially if they actually look cute and somehow pretty like them...


those, are acceptable.... cuz well, they do look cute, where their cute looks are professionally done and their paycheck actually depended on their "OH-MY-GOD i can't believe i'm so cute looks"......

BBBUUUUTT.... when some people are just trying too hard to follow the trend......

due to certain privacy issues, I had to censor some portion of the photos, though it may not make any difference... -_-"

they had just officially turned Friendster.com into la-la-ster.com.....

AAANNNDD.... if taking these kinda self-portraits doesn't make them look foolish enough, they have to use some chinese-bimbo-ish broken english....

"miii n my flen..", "hapi-hapi dayz..." , "frenz 4eva, mizz mii mizz u guyss ooo", "act-cuterz...hahahah" , "smily oo"....

hey, no one is perfect, in fact my english is waaay from being qualified as good....

but wtf? this is not broken english... this is ignorance + trying to sound cute english!!!

okay, it's acceptable to try to act cute if you're still in form 3, but if you're older than that, i got 2 words for you....

GROW UP

well, i better stop here before the Act-Cuters United International come after me.....



disclaimer: I am aware that by posting some of my friends' picture, I am liable to be sued or being charged against, but just for the sake of some fun, please treat this as a lame joke. and to show you i am a fair person, i shall post a fugly pic of mine.

hey! at least i will not post it to some site and make it my profile picture... :p

and ahh... buburku dah masak, i eat first k! x)

I survived the first week!

I thought it would be such a great accomplishment to endure thru the first week of classes, but then I was left with a harsh reality that I just barely started the long journey ahead... BAH....

so far so good, in the first week, I....

• managed to cook almost everyday, and minimizes my expenses to eat out....
• didn't buy any textbooks from the money-sucking bookstore, but instead ordered/find my books online..(long live technology!)
• worked more than 8 hours over the weekend at the cafe, which included baking paninis (I am such a pro in it now), stirred hot chocolates, filled cups of coffees, made tons of lattes..... I sooo qualified to start my own kopitiam now..
• am already loaded with assignments, homeworks, projects, skill checks, readings... and any other funky names the lecturer came out to make my life suffer....
• cooked Tomyam beehoon, and no, I did not end up in the toilet....
• bought an online phone card and called my friend in Malaysia and we talked for 1 hour, 59 minutes and 37 seconds... DARN, shud have made it a round number...
• created a new album on facebook with my old pictures, only to realize my life is quite happening, but not exciting enough...
• talked to mom who came back from Bangkok trip, and was glad that everything is alright...
• watched the season premier of one tree hill, and thanks to my rommie's help, cuz i would be soo lost cuz i think the last season watched was errr... season 2?
• droooooling over lucas scott, a.k.a chad michael murray....

BACK TO REALITY....

i'm only halfway thru my second week....

long long way to go.... x(





and i hear people saying chinese new year is X days away heh?

motivation...

sometimes, it just takes one simple push to make you believe you can achieve more than you could imagine.

Be it a simple quote from a person you randomly met, or some inspirational article you read on the newspaper that you flipped for fun.

In my case, a glimpse into the lifestyle of the rich and famous, especially those rags-to-riches story truly inspired me.

Most important of all, it's the thought of my family that keeps me going on...

whenever I feel everything is tumbling upon me, I shall not give up, I shall remember this force of motivation and move on...

I'm not home-sick at all, in fact, i am glad that i have the opportunity to be independent...

perhaps that leads to me being high on positive chi lately, and owh, it feels freaking awesome to be positive minded. =)

And this, shall be the motivation to achieve the best out of me....

but most of all, drag me out of bed and head to work tomorrow.

Yes people, after dreading for so long, I am starting my first day of work tomorrow.

And I tell myself, I will not be an ordinary worker....

I shall be the best.

The best, not only in my work, but in my academic achievement as well.

As you see this semester I will be:

• taking suicidal courses: x201, g202, l201,x204,x220, hper-f255 (they are not just numbers, trust me, they are suicidal...)
• work on weekends, 8 hours per week; I am considering maximizing it to 20 hours per week (I wanna visit my sister and mickey mouse with my own money..)
• become a peer tutor for a subject which I aced last semester (it doesn't pay, but hey, it'll look good on my resume...)
• cook, or i shall gain weight and work even more in order to pay for my take-outs
• active in organizational activities (i have come to a point to realize that networking is important and an impressive resume is the key for success, well at least to get a descent job..)

though i am terrified of the choices that i had made (or shud i say i have no choices at all..)

I shall face them with confidence and motivation...

and I, in turn, will be an inspiration and motivation to someone else...

ahh... feels so damn good to be so optimistic, hope that the chi remains forever!

new york, new york....

new york from thousand-ish feet from ground...

me no likey delayed flights... x(

me lagi no likey delayed baggage claim....

but after all the what-seems-forever journey...

HOOLLLAA NEW YORK!!! =D

and so we began our journey...

from 61st street....


through times square....

till we made our final stop at 34th street....

How long was the distance that we actually walked?


you do the math yourself...

we couldn't bear to walk all the way back, so we just decided to take the subway....

In between, we walked passed through all these landmarks...

that's the end of my pictorial diary of my journey, until my camera decided to died on me....

and i have to borrow my friend's camera...

there are more pics on my other friend's camera, but i have yet to receive-then-resize them...

in the meantime, just rest your take a good rest for your eyes after ga-ga-ing over the pics i have just posted...

POST-SCRIPT:
my postings with lots of pictures with countable number of words usually is due to one of these reasons:

• i have no ilham to write superb, bombastic, nor any flamboyant paragraphs to describe the pictures...
• somehow i have time to gaze blankly, and yet i am too busy to write a proper post...
• i feel bad sitting in front of the computer when i have tons of readings to do... and yea, indeed, this is just my first week of class...
• amnesia struck me suddenly, and i totally forgotten what i want to write even i had the idea just 3 seconds ago... wait, what i wanna write again?
• i wasn;t that enthusiastic about the trip due to certain not-so-good circumstances that happened during the trip....
• did i mention that i have tons of reading to do?

well, in this posting, the reason of my lack of description and words is because of the combination of all of the possible outcomes...

so, don't ask....

i shall update sooooon, but for now, just read and enjoy... xD

loveee....
