The Power of Music

2011-11-18T14:50:00.005+08:00

I've just read an article about music helps brain to relearn words at dictionary.reference.com today. When I saw this title, I clicked on it at once. I was like "wow, is music can really help our brain to relearn words?" and "how can it help?". Interested to know? Below is the link.

How music helped Gabrielle Giffords relearn words | The Hot Word | Hot & Trending Words Daily Blog at Dictionary.com

When I ponder about it, yea, I'm also studying while turning the music on. Whatever music type it is- rap, rock, punk rock, alternative rock, acoustic rock, classical or R&B. :)

Sometimes..

2011-10-02T21:29:00.002+08:00

Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead."

Observe

2011-04-07T17:03:00.007+08:00

When talking about observation, an interesting story suddenly comes to my mind. Here the story goes..

One day, a science teacher teaches the students on how to test the acidity of urine. Now there's a container which contains 10ml of urine on every student's table. After all the apparatus is ready, then the class starts.

Teacher: All right, class. Now let me show you how to test it. First of all, put all the apparatus away, except the container which contains urine. Then, dip your finger into the urine. Watch carefully..

(The teacher puts his finger into his mouth and all the students are stunned by his action.)

Teacher: OK, now it's your turn. Try to do what as I did just now.

(Even though every student thinks that the test is so ridiculous, they have to do it as what the teacher did. And.. they did it.)

Students: Yuck~! It's disgusting!

(The commotion occurs in the class. When the teacher sees what they did. He explains to them.)

Teacher: Class, please calm down and relax. OK, let me tell you the truth. Actually I was using my middle finger to dip into the urine and put my index finger into my mouth. So, I'm not really taste the urine and I'm so disappointed what you all did. You know, observation is very important, no matter it's on the test or in your life. If you lack of observation in your life, you will miss something. So, next time please concentrate and observe.

(After the explanation, all the students smile and nod.)

So, you too. Try to observe everything in your life so that you won't miss something or something which is important to you.

Counting the Days~

2011-04-06T15:25:00.005+08:00

Wake up, go to work, come home, it's not working

We've been living our whole lives

On a system that is broken...

A New One

2011-01-08T18:32:00.005+08:00

The latest flavor in 100 Yen- Melon.

3 words to describe it: Nice and tasty~!

Have a closer look.

This is a must-try. When you see this flavor, please do not hesitate. Just put it inside your mouth, close your eyes and taste it, then you will understand what is called no regrets. :D

In The Training Room

2010-09-30T16:12:00.005+08:00

YES! Tomorrow will be the last day of my Abacus training. Phew~ Finally.. C: I really learned many things at there. Happy for it. :) During the first week of the training that is level 1, Mr.Amirsham was my trainer. He's a friendly and a funny guy. When you look at him from the part of his nose to the part of his chin, you will think of Johnny Depp. HAHA. It really looks alike. Honestly I like the way he teaches. He speaks loud and clear which can attract people's attention. Everyone can understand what he's teaching and we are so pro in this first week. :D Sometimes, he makes cold jokes to prevent us from falling asleep in the training room and this only makes the whole class just look at him and make no sound. xD

Then, the next week is level 2-the highest level of the training. There's another trainer to train us for level 2 as Mr.Amirsham will not teach us in this level. I think this trainer is new and fresh, so there's a lot of confusion. But after we've done many practices, everything becomes fine. Well, she just only teaches us for 2 days. The last 3 days will be taught by a professional-look trainer. Although she looks so serious, she teaches us well too, same like Mr.Amirsham. Just that she seldom makes jokes. Attending this training, I miss my study life badly.

What I find the most nicest thing during my training is the refreshments. Hehe. The food are curry puffs, fried bananas, sponge cakes and the drinks is tea. Sounds good, right? :) And there's 2 times break in one day. I like curry puffs the most. It's so tasty. After the training is ended, I think I won't have the chance to eat it again. :( Overall, it's a beneficial training.

BIG Thanks~

2010-09-21T18:28:00.007+08:00

Thank you for everyone who wished me Happy Birthday yesterday. I really appreciate that and am so happy. :D For those who texted me and sent me birthday wishes on Facebook during my birthday, I've drawn a simple "BIG thanks" for all of you using a marker pen and four highlighter pens. Haha. Hope that you all will like it. :)

John Vesely- the acoustic rock band

2010-08-23T23:18:00.005+08:00

Recently, I am addicted to Secondhand Serenade's new album- Hear Me Now. :D Love his songs so much. The way he sings just makes me feel comfortable, relax and calm. Especially the songs named "Something More", "Distance", "World Turns", "You and I" and "Only Hope".

Except his songs, I like his appearance too- Handsome. :)

Healthy Drinks~

2010-07-28T20:44:00.003+08:00

Green apple juice

I bought and drank it today. It's very tasty and I feel refreshing once I drink it. It's highly recommended to drink it as green apple is good for health. Below are some benefits of it:

1. good for heart

2. great antioxidants

3. prevents asthma

4. cleanses liver

5. reduces cholesterol

6. contains Vitamin C

7. anti-aging

8. strengthens bones

9. prevents cancer

10. cures obesity

However, it is essential to drink natural green apple juice, not the preserved one which provides in the stores. Let's stay healthy together~ :D

If

2010-07-20T21:41:00.002+08:00

If I did not make any mistakes, everything will be all good.

Worry? Read This.

2010-07-18T14:09:00.009+08:00

I am worry about my future.

NO, I shouldn't say that. I know that worry is useless, can't solve any problems. I really don't know what I should do, I feel so blue and don't know what course I should take after I get my Diploma in Tourism. (I know that Diploma is not enough.) Now my feeling is just like high-school graduates who have no idea what course to take. I am thinking for so long and nothing appears in my mind, so I pray to God.

One night, I sat on my bed in a silent room, hands holding a bible. After I prayed, then I opened the bible and just flicked through the pages. What I saw in it was exactly what I need to know and what to do. It stated "Do Not Worry".

I read Matthew 6:26 :

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much valuable than they?"

And Matthew 6:27 :

"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"

After I read it, I feel relieved. :) That's right, I shouldn't worry so much. Just think about those trees at the roadside. They just stand firmly in the soil and do nothing, but God feeds them with rainwater to make them grow. So, why am I worry? I should do research and ask somebody who knows about it, better than do nothing. I believe one day I will get what I want.

The Only One

2010-07-08T20:28:00.005+08:00

Ice Milo + Grilled chicken rice

It's dinner time and my friends ask me where to have dinner. You know, this is the most difficult question for me because I already get bored of eating the same food for every day. Argh.. But the only food that I never get bored is western food! :D

This is the food that I ordered in Wan Quan. I like the sauce of the grilled chicken. I'm lovin' it.. xD

Let us finish all up! :) But I still left some rice on the plate, not because the rice is not delicious. It's because the sauce is not enough for me. Haha.. I want more sauce! :(

Wish me luck, please.

2010-06-24T12:17:00.003+08:00

When we see flower horn fish or we call them Luo Han in Chinese, we all know that it's related to prosperity, health, wealth and also luck. And these are the things that I want.

The main focus of attraction- the forehead! Besides, it has beautiful colours on its whole body which make it won't look so dull/pale. Observe carefully, you can see the black horizontal markings on its body. My aunts told me that when you focus to look at the markings, you can see there are numbers (normally 4 digits). The numbers that you can see, it may bring you luck if you go to buy lotto. HAHA

This morning I went to a restaurant called Sweet Home which is near my working place before work. I ordered a plate of mi hun with a luncheon, then sat at the table which is near an aquarium. There was a flower horn fish in it. Once I saw it, I thought about what my aunts had told me- it brings luck! So, I tried to focus on the black markings on its body, was trying to figure the numbers out. I guess I saw 0614. :X Hmm..the flower horn fish must bring a lot of luck to the restaurant as I see it always full house.

Hope that it will bring me luck, health and wealth too. :)

P/S: For those who needs money desperately, spend one buck and go ahead to buy lotto. xD

Beauty

2010-05-28T01:13:00.004+08:00

Each moment of the year has its own beauty...

A picture which was never before

and shall never be seen again.

English VS Korea

2010-05-10T12:03:00.005+08:00

When I picked some songs from my song album this morning, I realized that I have more English songs than others, that is a few Chinese/ Korea/ Japanese songs.

Thinking back, my cousin, Miki loved English songs as I am as we heard and sang them always in the car during childhood, especially Westlife's. I still love English songs.

And I don't remember when she loves to listen to Korea songs and anti-English songs. She even introduces me to watch a Korean drama called "He's Beautiful" or "原来是美男啊". She's addicted to Korean stuff. Honestly, at first I reluctant to watch it. HA-HA. But anyway, I've watched it till the last episode. C:

I searched for Usher's new album songs a few days ago. I've been waiting for his new album to release for a long time. And finally, it's out now. Too bad, I only find two songs are nice-"Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)" and "Papers". I feel a bit disappointed. :(

Tell you a thing. Miki hates Usher. Not only his songs, but his appearance too. She says Usher has grey skin. Her words made me looked puzzled at a sudden. I was thinking "What? Grey skin? How come? His skin is not grey."

I think she loves those guys with fair-skinned or..smooth-skinned? No wonder she always says U-Know who's from TVXQ is her husband. x)

It's My Convocation Day~!

2010-04-30T12:27:00.015+08:00

Travex Convocation 2010

Everyone was busy to take photos after wearing the graduation robes.

This was the number I got- No.10 (I was the 10th person to go up the stage)

Cameras ready~

Photographers said there was too much noise.

It was hard to take a nice one because of the dim light.

This was given by my dear mom. =D

I was very happy to receive it. ^^

Thanks, mom. =)

After shooting pictures, it was time to take lunch.

I guess everybody was so damn hungry at that time as I was. Haha..

Grab a plate~

My friend, You Jun won a small prize in the game.

It was a Shell Gas cup. Thanks for giving it to me. xD

Thanks to the photographers for shooting those nice photos.

My cousin, Evelyn and her mom VS Me and my mom

Thanks to Rachel for uploading all those photos for me.

Lastly, congratulations to every IATA student. =)

Charmen will miss you all. xD

Remember

2010-04-22T17:11:00.004+08:00

Lately, I spend my waking hours in front of my laptop (except that, I have nothing else to do). Day after day, my brain will be rust. Haha..

Seeing my friends go to college and busy for their schoolwork, I realized that I start to miss my study life. Change from study life to working life is quite challenging for me. I must do the best.

No more lazing around and daydreaming.

I still remember that Mr.Sathar, my former lecturer let all of my coursemates to play a game which needs to think carefully before you answer. Let's see whether you can answer it correctly or not.

The shaded parts cannot be drawn.

For segment A- divide it into two equal parts. [Done? Okay. It's easy, right? Let's move to the next one.]

Segment B- divide it into three equal parts. [easy]

Segment C- divide it into four equal parts. [hmm..this one is hard. Think carefully. =) ]

Segment D- divide it into five equal parts. [simplicity]

Completed? The answer is just below.

Sweating~

2010-04-05T16:36:00.004+08:00

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, it's boiling hot, I mean. Not only day time, even night time too. So, what drinks will you choose?

1500ml natural mineral water?

A large ice blended drinks which makes you freeze?

Coca Cola which has a lot of gas bubbles help to quench your thrist?

Or.. beer? =P

Lime and plum/Loh hon guo?

Hmm.. I will definitely choose lime and plum because of slightly sore throat. =)

A Visit To...

2010-04-01T14:00:00.014+08:00

A visit to...? To where? Let me give you a tip: When you see there are many kinds of wine with a cheap price and you can buy many of them at the same time, what do you think the place would be?

The answer is Langkawi. =) It's scorching hot here, 33 degree Celcius (the pilot announced). Even the ice can melt within 10 seconds. I kid you not.

Here is the Black Sand Beach. As you can see part of the sand is black.

One piece of the black-mix-with-brown sand was taken by me. =D

Lighthouse in a closer view

Ship

And ships. xD

There is a herd of cows grazing in the field.

Sunset (part 1): the sun is going down

Sunset (part 2): the sun is going further down

Sunset (part 3): the sun is changing its colour to orange [look like an egg yolk] ^^

Sunset (last part): the sun is going to say goodbye to everyone after 30 minutes. =(

THE END

Thanks for viewing C:

Miss You

2010-03-20T16:48:00.002+08:00

I miss you greatly, Coffee Bean. =(

Weird, it seems like such a long time that I didn't see my favourite drinks in front of me. Ice Blended Green Tea, the only one that I'm missing. =D

Finally..

2010-03-18T20:24:00.007+08:00

Nowadays I don't have to up at dawn, rush and squeeze myself in the LRT before reach my college punctually. And I come to the realization that I'm a graduate student from now on.

For me, I'd do something which is not wasting my time instead of staying at home whilst twiddling my thumbs with my brain which is completely empty. I read the good books which bring me to imagination, watch nice movies that are given by a friend of mine, do cleaning at home and sometimes wander around in the shopping malls.

Hmm..I guess these are the things that I can do while waiting for my results to come out. =)

Worn Out

2010-03-09T10:02:00.004+08:00

Erm.. How do I say?

I'm so tired, stressful and emo.

And this is the blank expression that I have on my face.

P.S: The final exam is left 4 days to go and I haven't prepare myself for it. Arrgh.. Hope that everything is fine.

The Last Class

2010-03-05T10:35:00.000+08:00

Yes, today is the last class that I have. After today, I don't need to go to my college anymore. But.. I skip the class unintentionally.

Because I'm exhausted. I really am. When I was waken by my alarm, it was 7.30am and I have class at 9am sharp. I should wake up at that time, but I just want to snooze. After a while, when I look at the time, oh no.. it's too late- it's 9.15am now. Sigh.. So, I just continue to sleep back to gain enough energy.

I will be going to college for revising with my coursemates as I have promised them before. But just let me sleep for a while first. x)

Not Planning To Have Fun

2010-02-27T15:52:00.000+08:00

Day after day, time passes away. I realize that I have not much time to study for my final exam. I write down the notes, but it takes a lot of time to finish all of them. I cannot waste any hours, minutes and even seconds anymore.

Thus, what I can do is:

#1 Just go through what I've learnt.

#2 Focus on the important key points which are highlighted.

#3 Study from the easiest to the hardest chapters.

#4 Remember the key words that I've read through and the key words are at which part.

#5 Lastly, study the world map every single night.

After 3 hours of studying, I take a short break and eat some seedless grapes as grapes have many benefits against diseases. =)

No~ It's Everywhere..

2010-02-15T15:36:00.000+08:00

It's the second day of Chinese New Year. I get up early for visiting my relative's house and the house of my dad's friend. I never thought that I have the (almost) same shoes with a kid. x) What a surprise!

You see. But the kid's shoes are cute. Haha xD

After that, I go to my relative's house which is situated at mile 14. When I reach there and I want to take off my shoes and guess what I spot.

It's the same shoes. Again. And this time is the same, same and same. =.=

Several hours later, I'm so bored and I need a cold drink to quench my thirst. So, I go to buy Ice Blended White Mocha at Jesselton Coffee. Hehe.. Now then I feel satisfied. =D

Here Obstacles Come~

2010-02-11T13:48:00.000+08:00

As everybody knows, Chinese New Year is just around the corner. My family and I just start to clean and tidy our house.

Firstly, I decide to clean my room.

I search the key to unlock the lock of the window in my room. Hmm.. Problem comes. I think it's gonna take some time to search the right one. =P

Too many keys

After 5 mins, I got the right key. =D

Another obstacle comes. I have to clean the window bars, square by square. Argh... Once I look at the window bars, my energy suddenly drops to zero (negative zero, I mean). x.X

But I have to do it so. After I've done it, I clean the windowpanes. Guess what. The third problem appears. How am I going to clean the other side of the windowpanes? I have to stand on the roof and clean it. It seems like so hot at outside.

When I open the windowpane, it's really boiling hot. I ponder for a while. It's better clean the other side of the windowpanes at night. Hehe.. =)

Awake

2010-02-08T18:13:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I woke up at dawn. I went to my study table to drink some water as my throat was so dry. I needed water desperately. After that, I could not sleep back. So what could I do?

Even my favourite songs also couldn't put me to sleep back again. Hmm..so I just sat at the balcony to watch the breathtaking sunrise. =) At that moment, I recalled many things that happened in the past. All the good and bad memories...

Time flies rapidly. I can meet my family and all my friends very soon. Waiting all of you to come back. =)

Recall

2010-02-02T18:33:00.000+08:00

I'm busy for outing lately and it drags my energy away. I have no time to update my blog and now I'm going to recall what was happened in the end of January. =)

Let me ransack my memory...

Erm..

Erm...

Yup, I remember it. ^-^v

It was a free lunch. But at where and who spent it? Hmm.. Yup. At Shogun Japanese Buffet Restaurant, One Utama and spent by my principal, Ms.Ong on 29th Jan, 12pm sharp.

She spent all Travex students for lunch. We all were so glad and excited. Wondering why this will happen as we knew about it on 28th Jan. xD

Here are all Travex students and lecturers.

This was mine. Hehe..so few, eh? Haha..This was only the first round. I was going to the second round later. xD

Second round...here I come. I like sushi, especially sashimi. ^^

After sushi, then shark fin soup. Haha.. I just felt like I was in a food paradise at that moment. x)

Ice-cream time

I like chocolate-flavoured ice-cream. =)

Finally, I was very full and the buffet was enough to satisfy my hunger. We all enjoyed ourselves very much. If this matter will happen second time, then that's too good. Hehe..

An Action Comedy Movie

2010-01-26T20:23:00.000+08:00

I woke up 9 in the morning as the sun was shining through the windows. I felt hot until I got up. When I looked in the mirror, I saw that my left eye was inflamed. Argh..not again. =( Since I was a little girl, my eyes are very sensitive. Therefore, wherever I go, my caring mom will always ask me to bring along the eye drops which I use since I was a small kid. =)

After dropped two drops, I felt more comfortable. My mom told me that after 20 mins my eye will recover and it's so true. Luckily she asked me to bring it to KL, if not, I got to wear a pair of sunglasses to meet my friends. xD Thanks mom. ^^

Today I went to watch a movie with my friends. "The Spy Next Door" is an action comedy movie starring Jackie Chan. I like his movies so much. Haha.. This movie is exhilarating. I strongly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys action and comedy films. I bet you will like it and will not waste the ticket. Enjoy~ =D

Enjoying~ =D

2010-01-23T21:13:00.000+08:00

I was having Ice Mocha and blueberry cheese muffin at Starbucks, Pavilion. ^^ Although study is very important, relax is absolutely vital for me too. Hehe.. I was so hungry at that moment, so I bit into the muffin before I took the picture. Please forgive me. xD It's tasty. Must try.

Owh.. Tiger heads~ I took it at the entrance of Esprit. Haha.. It looks so funny. When I saw it, I laughed non-stop with my friend. The right one is so cute, right? x)

This is the entrance of Pavilion. There are many red lanterns hanging outside. It made me have the "Chinese New Year" feeling. Red, red, red... =) Some beautiful flowers are placed in front of the entrance.

Here they are. Wonderful~ O.O

Next, I went to Look Out Point with my friend. I had Fish & Chips, while my friend had Lamb Shoulder.

We enjoyed our meal.

This is the look out point of Kuala Lumpur. Today was quite hazy and I couldn't take the clear picture because my camera of my cell phone is not that good. =P I think if I had a good camera, it may look better.

Tests, tests and tests... =.=

2010-01-21T21:23:00.000+08:00

Usually I wear semi-formal go to college, but today I didn't. I just wore casual- a purple tee with collar, a pair of blue jeans and my Converse. =D This made me feel so comfortable when I was walking to my college. Hehe.. Recently I have tests for every class and for sure today was not excluded.

Once I got the test paper, I read through the instructions that is given. Then, I looked at the paper in surprise when I saw this:

It was prepared by my former lecturer, Mr.Sathar. =) I was so glad to see it. Haha.. I've been long time didn't see him and also chat with him. I miss him so much. I always hope that he will come back to teach me. =( But I know that it's not going to happen.

Soon, I started to do the air fares. It took so much time and energy to check for the correct fares. My head turned left, right, left, right just to confirm whether the fares that I've calculated was right or not. Really crazy if you do this action for 3 hours. x)

Finally, I double checked it to make sure that's the right answer. =)

The tests will just going on and on, so I got to study well.

study SMART, not study HARD. =P

Hard To Fall Asleep =(

2009-12-05T21:41:00.000+08:00

I can't live without music. Usually I will listen to some songs before I go to bed. Around half and hour, I will fall asleep. But recently I listen to my ipod until the battery is low and then died, I still haven't fall asleep. I looked at the time, it was almost 1am. Oh.. It was too bad. Sometimes I really hope that I'm exhausted so that I could sleep soundly and tight.

Maybe I miss my hometown, Sandakan too much. I think about it and then dream about it every single night. Haha.. Now is December, so I just have to wait for two more months, then I can go back to Sandakan. Everytime when I think about it, I will feel so happy. As time goes by, my dream will come true. C:

I miss you all so much-Friends and Family. =D

Food that was eaten during break time

2009-11-06T23:23:00.000+08:00

Yesterday my coursemates and I went to Nando's during break time. The service was quite poor. We waited for the food for 20 minutes. Ai yo.. And the food was not delicious. =( When we all back to our class, the class was started. Oh no.. We were late.

This picture was taken in Nando's

Yesterday was Nando's, today is Domino's Pizza. xD We enjoyed eating these two days. Hoho.. We ordered pizza via cell phone. The delivery was quite fast. We just waited for 15 minutes only. Hehe.. When we were waiting for it, we were starving. =(

These was what we had ordered. ^^ After we finished eating, we were so full. We couldn't drink the coke anymore, so we just gave the coke to the canteen. =) Today was the day that my coursemates and I had a great time and had delicious food to eat. Felt so happy. Hehe.. Hmm.. Don't know next time where we will go to eat. xD

Clouds in the sky

2009-10-23T21:00:00.000+08:00

Sometimes a beautiful sky becomes ugly in a split of second. Here's the foul weather comes. Sitting on the balcony and staring at the sky, thinking something, then all the clouds are turning grey slowly, but it just don't rain. It just like our life. Suddenly ups and suddenly downs. It changes rapidly. Watching at the dark clouds, those bad memories came to my mind covertly as I didn't realize at first.

But..

Sometimes there'll become fair weather again. Waiting it to change back to the wonderful weather. Rainbow will appear too. Oh.. broken weather. So, whenever we are sad and depressed, just give some time to ourself and other people, wait the great time to approach us. C: It just needs time. The only one thing that will never wait for us.

Trying Hard

2009-10-10T21:55:00.000+08:00

I'm trying to concentrate on my studies lately. Writing notes, reading textbooks, surfing net... for several hours on every single day. I attempt to do the best I can. The feeling of tired? I can feel it always. My shoulders are so painful. Sometimes I hope that someone could give me a back massage. Hehe..

Only do the things that I've just mentioned, I'm sure everyone must get bored and feel sleepy. Need to concentrate until your both eyes narrow. Hmm.. So, when I'm studying, I'll sure play some songs (my favourite songs, of course). C: Then only I can study without the feeling of tired. Hehe..

Walk Alone

2009-09-22T17:24:00.000+08:00

Donuts from Big Apple

Sometimes go to anywhere accompanied by someone is so great. Can chat, smile with each other or laugh happily. Yesterday I went to Jusco Alpha Angle with my cousin and her boyfriend to buy something. All of us enjoyed ourselves and we felt so happy. =) Before we back home, we ate donuts at Big Apple as the appearance of the donuts attracted us. Hehe.. It's been a long time that I didn't eat donuts. I miss Green Tea donuts so much.

But sometimes go to anywhere alone is great too. Today I went to Suria KLCC alone. The purpose I went there was to buy a gift for my sis as her birthday is coming very soon, shirt for my mom and choc for my aunts and cousins. C: Happy to walk alone and feel good today.

A Moving Film

After the boring class had dismissed, my coursemates and I went to Sushi Station, Sungei Wang to have lunch. I was the first person to finish eating because I was too hungry. Hehe.. Then, we straight away head to GSC, Pavilion. We were going to watch "Tsunami At Haeundae". =)

When we were watching this movie, five of us had different emotion. Two were laughing, another two were crying and one was busy texting and calling on the phone. =.= Haha.. Guess which group I was in. The first, second or third one? Hmm.. I was in the second group. Hehe.. It was a very moving film for me and Joyce. Both of us were imagining that if tsunami really came, then what we should do. When I saw the people were screaming loudly and crying for their family members who died in the disaster, I felt so sad until my tears dropped. We should cherish every moment when we're with our family and friends. =)

Back to KL~

2009-09-12T15:41:00.000+08:00

Having holiday in my hometown, Sandakan was so great. It has been a long time that I didn't eat seafood (the fresh one, I mean. Hehe..). This time I returned to Sandakan, I almost ate seafood every day. Haha.. I miss the taste of it. =) As you see the picture above, that is "mi hun soup add prawn and fish meat". I ate it at Bandar Indah. Hehe.. The taste is very nice.

As I long time didn't go back to Sandakan, there are new cafes and a restaurant in Bandar Utama-The Rock Cafe, Tonic and The Friends House. The day before I had to go back to KL, I planned to go to The Friends House with my mom, my aunt and my two cousins. Guess what.. It was full house. Oh no.. I miss the opportunity to try the food and drinks at there. But it's ok. Next time when I'm back again, I'll go there and have a try. =)

Sandakan really reminds me many things, all the memories with my family and buddies. When the day I had to return to KL, I reluctant to leave. Standing on the floor of the airport, I felt sad. =(

Relaxing Time~

2009-08-15T15:52:00.000+08:00

21:Bringing Down the House

It's a relaxing day for me. Finally, the GK parts are completed. Now I just spend most of my time for resting at home. The word "tired" is erased in my mind and a new word is written, that is "rest".

Staying at home, I just do several things- online, revise my lesson, watch movies which are in my laptop and read "21:Bringing Down the House" (this is a nice non-fiction book and it's all about gambling by using Math). Wow.. Exciting. =D It makes me reluctant to put down the book. Haha..

There's a movie of this book too. Nice.. b(^-^)d

Bad Luck =(

2009-08-13T14:12:00.000+08:00

I was quite bad luck lately. The "Bad Luck God" just like my shadow, always follows me wherever I go. =(

Firstly, my college new schedule is released and I don't like it at all.
Secondly, the new schedule spoiled my plans.
And thirdly, all the lifts of my place are damaged, so I have to walk up the stairs ( for your information, I live at 11th floor ). T.T
Really really tired.

Besides, today I went to Pavilion via KLCC with Jocelyn, then suddenly the rain came when both of us were on the way to our destination. =.= Even though I had brought my umbrella, it was useless. Get wet also. Maybe it was providence or I was predestined to have bad luck. =(

I hope that the "Bad Luck God" will disappear as fast as possible.

Reminiscing~

2009-08-07T11:09:00.000+08:00

Recently I tend be reminiscent. I always think about the remindful time when I was in my hometown, Sandakan, Sabah. I miss everything of it: my home, my family, my friends, my dog, all the restaurants, markets, town, my car and so on.

When I think about my car, it reminds me that I have many nice songs which I didn't bring along with me (I always burnt some CDs and listened to them in my car when I was driving). Hehe.. It's because my mobile phone memory just has 512MB only, plus my 4GB pendrive was at my cousin there. That's why I couldn't save all my favourite songs and brought them with me, unless I bring along all the CDs in my car. Haha.. That's too many, I guess.

Therefore, I decided to download all my favourite songs again. =) But unfortunately, the line at my place is always down. The only way to get all the songs back is ask my buddy to lend me a hand. Hehe.. The line at my buddy's place is pretty good. Everytime I asked for the songs, around 3 or 4 minutes I could have it. Wow.. Really fast, huh? Now I almost got every song that I wanted. =D

Thanks ya, C.

Having Fun...

2009-07-30T19:46:00.000+08:00

Green Tea ice-cream

It was a great day for me and six of my friends. 1 in the afternoon, we all met at Green Box Karaoke of Sungei Wang to celebrate my friend, Carrie's birthday. After having fun and sang happily, some of them went home. Just left me, Rachel and Nichole only. At first, I thought that I had to go to Times Square alone to meet my aunt and my cousin. Who knows, three of us wanted to go there coincidentally. Haha.. That's good.

When we reached there, Nichole brought me and Rachel to Kindori. Honestly this was the first time I heard this place. Hehe.. Nichole recommended me and Rachel to eat Green Tea ice-cream (as you can see the picture above). Yummy... It's really delicious! We all like it so much. =D Nichole is a fan of Kindori. I think I'll also be a fan of it sooner or later. Hehe..

Everyone who wants to try the ice-cream at Kindori, you can go to 3rd floor, Berjaya Times Square. It's just situated in front of GSC cinema. I would also recommend Green Tea ice-cream to everybody as Nichole did. =)

Affection

2009-07-30T11:07:00.000+08:00

When you have an affection towards someone, you don't care anything. No matter the age, health, appearance, height, weight, bad habits, wealth and so on...

Suddenly I think of a song called 'Why Does She Stay' sung by Ne-Yo ( he's one of my favourite singers. Hehe..) Yup, it's true. When you really got a crush on somebody, you'll always take good care of the person, make sure everything is okay for the person, concern about the person and considering the person before yourself.

"Like" and "Love" are different.

If you like a person, that means you like to be with that person, always like see that person around you. That's "Like".

If you love a person, that means you love the person's everything, including the bad habits and weaknesses of the person (plus all the "Like" features). That's "Love".

You can live without the one that you like, but you can't live without the one that you love.

My Class

2009-07-29T20:20:00.000+08:00

This is the first time that I felt so sleepy in my class. There are two reasons. The first reason is that I had to retake for the test in the morning as I was absent that day. Plus I just had one day to study for it. Gotta swallow my book! =.= The second is that I had class in the afternoon on the same day. This really made me feel tired and I had no mood to study.

The worst thing is my coursemates and I were hypnotized by our lecturer. My class was from 2pm to 5pm, but when it was 3pm, we all really couldn't concentrate anymore. I looked at my friend who sits beside me. My friend's eyes were full of tears, not because of the lecturer was telling a moving story, is because she kept yawning. Haha.. At that time, there was only one word in our mind-SLEEP. I think I just get 30% of what lecturer was teaching. Haha..

I have to find someday to concentrate on my studies, can't always have fun with my friends ( my lecturer always calls my coursemates and I 'Naughty' ). =D

Dreams...

2009-07-28T13:52:00.000+08:00

Last night, I had dreamt of several dreams in the meantime. If I'm not mistaken, there were 3 dreams. Wow.. Something wrong with me. I couldn't remember all well, but I could see many pictures were passing by in front of me. The one which I still remember is I have two brothers in my dream. One is my elder brother and one is my younger brother. This is not a part that surprise me.

The unexpected part which surprised me is my two brothers are foreigners. My elder brother has brown hair, whereas my little brother has yellow hair. My little brother is very cute. Haha.. I think he is three or four years old. I remember him clearly because I was holding his warm hand. Hehe.. This was a nice and yet weird dream I had. I like it. =)

Recently I have many dreams during my sleeping time and I don't know why. And this is one of my dream which I remember. I'm wondering what is the next dream that I will have tonight. Hehe.. Hope that is a nice dream too.

Let Me Live

2009-07-27T15:34:00.001+08:00

Let me cut my own hair.
If it looks horrible,
let me learn not to touch scissors and that hair grows back.

Let me spend my money.
If the shirt's too little and the store doesn't give refunds,
let me learn to save my cash.

Let me kiss a boy.
If he thinks it's just a fling and I get my heart broken,
let me learn that some boys are just that way.

Let me flunk my test.
If I fail the class and miss the honour roll list,
let me learn to study more.

Let me miss the shot.
If my team loses and I'm on the bench,
let me learn to concentrate on the basket.

Let me go out past curfew.
If I get grounded and miss that big party this weekend,
let me learn to follow the rules.

But most important, let me live.
If I learn a lesson,
you've done your part.

Save You

2009-07-23T16:15:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I wish I could save you

And there’s so many things that I want you to know

I won’t give up til it’s over

If it takes you forever

I want you to know

---

When I hear your voice it’s drowning in the whispers

You’re just skin and bones

There’s nothing left to take

And no matter what I do

I can’t make you feel better

---

If you fall, stumble down

I’ll pick you up off the ground

If you lose faith in you

I’ll give you strength to pull through

Tell me you won’t give up

Cause I’ll be waiting if you fall

You know I’ll be there for you

Feel Good ^^

2009-07-13T23:59:00.000+08:00

After I get better from my desperate sickness, finally I feel energetic and healthy. =) Guess what sickness I had. I had fever and sore thoart. =( This illness made me feel so dizzy and felt like dying. At first, I thought that I have H1N1. O.O Haha.. Silly me.

11 in the morning, I went to the nearest clinic to consult a doctor. I really scared that I have that suffering sickness. When I reached there, I saw many patients were sitting on the chairs, waiting their turns to see the doctor. The clinic was full of patients. WOW..! Really a lot of people fall sick recently. You know what. I waited at the clinic for ONE HOUR, then only is my turn. =.= In the meantime, I really felt like dying.

The doctor said that I had 'upper respiratory tract inflammation'. It's a long name of my sickness. Haha.. My thoart became red and that's the reason why I could feel the pain of my thoart. =( Only two types of food I could eat- white bread and porridge. Pity me.. This sickness made me become slim a bit. =P Besides, my jeans looks quite loose when I am wearing it. Oh gosh..! My housemates also fell sick.

Thus, everyone must take good care of yourselves. Drink plenty of water and avoid eating fast food (although fast food is my favourite food. Hehe..).

Get Hurt =(

2009-07-10T21:25:00.000+08:00

As I woke up in the morning, I realized the wound of my right hand. It reminds me that when I was cooking porridge while stirring it and suddenly I stirred it with a great force carelessly. One drop of the hot porridge fell onto my hand and hurt my hand greatly. Ouch! >< I felt so painful. It just like burning my hand. T.T I think I should be careful next time. Erm... No, is all the time. Hehe..

A Fantastic Movie

2009-07-03T23:25:00.000+08:00

As I didn't realize the time, it's already 11.30pm. I have just finished watching a fantastic and exciting movie called "Coraline". For me, it's really a wonderful, nice and great movie. I like this movie so much. Haha.. Gotta watch it over and over again. The film has a great storyline plus it has a happy ending. This is the best movie that I have ever watched. I recommend everyone to watch it. I bet you all won't feel regret after watching this movie. Enjoy it. You'll feel like accessing another world which you never imagined before. For those who likes fantasy, don't miss it. You'll like this film so much just like me. Hehe..

Is life meaningful or meaningless?

2009-07-02T15:03:00.000+08:00

Have you ever wondered why we are living in the world? We do the same daily activities everyday. Everyday life is the same. Sometimes you feel bored, don't you? Is life meaningless? I always ponder about this matter. But what can make our lives become meaningful?

If you have everything that you want;
If you have a large amount of money;
If you can buy or get whatever you desire;
If you are so brainy;
If you have a good-looking appearance;
If you are healthy;
If you have all of the above.
Then you don't have to worry about anything.

But do you realize that we always think of ourselves first before anyone else? When we have what we want in our lives, we feel happy and satisfied. What if we lose everything in a split of second? Will you brace yourselves up to move on or commit suicide? Most of the time we have left something behind which are very important for all of us. Guess what are they. The answers are Friendship, Love and Care. We need them to survive. Without them, our lives are really meaningless. We only spend a lot of time in our lives on one particular thing, but later a heartless hurricane destroys everything that we own; all that remains is friendship, love, care and the hands of those who are capable of making us smile. Cherish the friendship, love and care that you have and share to others as well. Then only you'll find Happiness. =)

A Friend Of Mine

2009-06-30T19:39:00.000+08:00

Hi, everyone! Nice to meet you all. I'm Charmen. I have just signed up blogspot.com and this is my first blog. Erm..honestly, I have no idea what to write about. As a little time elapsed, something comes to my mind suddenly. Let's talk about something that had been told by a friend of mine.

[June 27, 2009]

Today, I went to college for revising the lesson with my several coursemates as next Monday we'll have a small test. For your information, I don't even have a best friend in my college. I'm not friendly. But one of my coursemate who is very friendly (too friendly, I guess) always likes to approach me, smile with me and break a jest. Whenever I see her, I'll smile back to her too. She always smiles. This makes me think that she's optimistic and never cries. Until today, then only I realize that she had a depressing experience during her secondary school life. When everybody went to the next class for joining the alternate class, just left me and her in the completely silent and chilly room. I translated the difficult English words to her using Chinese and I told her what's the meaning of each sentence on the textbook. In the meantime, she told me that I'm intelligent. I replied her that I'm not that clever because I have a lot of weaknesses. I told her that I want to change myself to become better, but she said to me that I don't need to change myself because everybody has their own weaknesses, not only me, nobody is perfect. She said that I'm so silly because I always keep on reminding myself to change myself. I bought some self-help books to improve myself. I even typed a note in my cell phone to remind me and the title of it is 'Improve Myself '. I just want to make myself become better so that I'll feel OK. At least I won't hate myself of having the weaknesses. Then, she told me that she had always been bullied by her friends during secondary school. She felt so sad, but she couldn't do anything and she just told herself to become happy, everything will be fine. At last, she told me that just be yourself is enough. I was relieved to hear her words. Even though she asked me don't change, I'll still try to change myself. Not in a forced way, but in a willing way. I hope that one day I really will change to be a better person. Lastly, I really thanks my friend for strengthening my spirit. I don't feel so sad of having my own weaknesses anymore.
