2010-03-06T21:09:00.003+08:00

and so this is the first post of the year..
right..
i was pretty busy and so that explained my unannounced absence from blogging..

brief update as usual..
- i own a car :)
- got a job (the plan of slacking for half a year didn't really work)
- what kind of job? unexpectedly, it's not the kind of jobs in the corporate world..
- taking CFA Level 1 (June exam)
- my convo is on this coming Wednesday :D

January - the package arrived in less than a week after i registered
(no excuse of saying 'not enough time to study!')

and it is freaking heavy.. -_-

didn't know why it's so bloody heavy until...

WTF! i knew there will be 6 books..
but never expected them to be so thick!!!!

don't let the lovely appearance of the covers fool you..
these books can do a better job putting you to sleep than sleeping pills..

and now it's March..
my study progress is not even near satisfactory.. :(
because of work + study, i have to sacrifice my 'anime-dorama-series watching time', 'manga time' and 'story book reading time'..

that being said, working and studying part time really isn't as easy as it looks..
i definitely have to pass this paper (coz it's super expensive, cost even more than a subject in uni)

okay, until next time (if any)!

~ Brief Update ~

2009-10-02T11:51:00.005+08:00

i noticed that the blog is in near-abandoned state..
so anyway, here's some brief updates..

FIRST, i attended Monash Ball 2009..

more pictures in FB..

SECOND, i went to Langkawi (finally..after 2 years of whining) during mid-sem break..

it was super fun!
pictures will be uploaded in FB sooooonnn...

THIRD, my finals is coming..
nothing much to complain about this sem..
my first paper falls on 30th October..
second (last) paper is on 2nd November..
if i wanna find something to complain about, it'll be..
"my paper falls on my bday again!!!" T_________T

but since it's my last paper anyway..so i'll just shut up :D

well, i guess nothing much left..
other than the evening when the ppl in KL felt the earthquake's tremors..
that was the time i just reached back home in Ipoh..
fortunately, we departed from Langkawi one day before..
PHEW!

okay..i wanna play some games in fb now..tata!

~ More books ~

2009-09-13T22:31:00.004+08:00

i was basically wasting my days away last Monday and Tuesday..
and on Wednesday, i decided to stop slacking and be productive..

rather than starting early on my assignment, i took out The Host and read..
i actually read few pages months ago but hesitated and halted it..
i was rather skeptical..don't get me wrong..
i like science fiction but not too much of it..
the first few pages of it sort of gave me the impression of being complicated..
and i hate imagining too many complicated things..so..i stopped reading..

and then wanting to be productive, i picked it up again on last Wednesday..
finished reading on Friday night..
to my surprise, The Host is very interesting..
it wasn't as complicated as i thought..
it even made me yearn for the sequels..

after that, i began reading Blood Promise immediately..
finished reading today..Sunday..
whoa..this book totally blown me away..
i did think the previous book is better but i don't dislike this book either..
and as i've predicted, Dimitri is still alive..
but i found myself drawn to Adrian..partly because Dimitri isn't Dimitri now..
i got a feeling Adrian's heart will be broken again since Dimitri is still alive and there might be a way to save him and get him back to being normal..
Rose probably will get back with Dimitri then..
and poor Adrian..
gaahh! i can't wait for the next book..MAY NEXT YEAR!! :D

anyway, both books kick ass!
got me to cry a number of times and made me stayed up til 6.30am++ and if i have no classes etc, i'll probably end up giving up my beauty sleep just to finish reading them..

can't believe i actually finished reading 2 books..a total of over 1000 pages..in what? 5 days? how i wish i can do the same when studying for exam..tsk tsk

and now i need to get back to my abandoned assignment :<

~ Parcel ~

2009-09-10T23:23:00.008+08:00

there's this book that i really wanted and it was released in 25 August..
so during mid-August, i went to MPH and asked them about it..pre-order and things like that..
but apparently, no such thing for it :(

so i was kinda despo..
and like any other despo ppl, i googled..
borders, amazon, e-bay..
and i even found this bookstore where u can get a signed copy..(i really wanted a signed copy)
but u got to send email to duno who who after duno what what..
i hate doing a lot of complicated stuff and well, i'm just being lazy..

so i decided to go with amazon (got discount ma~~)
i wanted to choose the fastest delivery method..
haha..but the shipping fees really made my eyes bulged..
so i settled for the second fastest..and still the fees cost more than the book itself -_-
(no point choosing the last in my opinion)

estimated delivery date was 21 September..
but being the impatient me, i was hoping it'll arrive sooner than the estimated date..
therefore since last week, i'd asked my bf to check out the parcel list in the management office..
but no news..

but this morning i just had the feeling..
so i went there before going to uni..
and VOILA!~

it's there!!!! it's HERE!!!!
well, it arrived safely on 8th..should have checked on Tuesday..but oh well..
WHEEEE!!!!
my first ever parcel from amazon~~

the book was in great condition..no dents..
very nicely packaged..
so i guess it's worth the money?

thanks daddy for letting me to use your credit card for this :D

i can't dive in the book yet though..
because i started on The Host on Tuesday and haven't finish reading..
like i said, should have check on that day then i would've already finished reading Blood Promise by now!

anyway, confession time..
i was so despo to the point i googled for the e-book on the released day..
and of course i found it..
BUT..i didn't open the file..haha..
i really didn't and i am so proud of myself for this reason :D
i can wait afterall..haha

somehow i really like the design of this building..
i would look at it whenever i passed it and that would be when i get back from ipoh..

i like the white curvy thing..haha

so lately, i have been thinking a lot bout certain stuff..
especially graduation..what am i to do after graduating?
i've been trying to figure it out since forever..
which company should i apply to?
what do i really want to do?
gahhh...!!

this is depressing..

~ Entertainment During The Weekend ~

2009-08-16T23:14:00.004+08:00

yesterday and today must've been the busiest time for Sunway Lagoon..
in fact preparations were made a week before that..

it was MTV World Stage yesterday..
i read somewhere that the gates opened at 3pm..
and around 5pm, many ppl had already arrived and stood under the light rain..

more and more ppl reached..
by then, there's no more rain (you can see reflections on the lake)..

at night..haha spot that toilet window at the upper left of the photo xD

take digicam to the toilet & take a pic through the window before 21 y/o..check!

woke up around 12.30pm on Sunday..
and the staff had already done some alterations for Eason's concert..
in fact, Eason was rehearsing few hours before the concert..

just wanna take the pic of the volcano..haha..
this happened at the beginning of Eason's concert..
but for MTV's, it was at the end..

can you see Eason from the tiny screen? xD

anyway, the concert was quite awesome..
i got to know one of the song's name from Diana..
he sang it and i was sort of listening from my room and it caught my attention..
and i really wanted to know it so i went to Diana's room and asked her xD
the song was..uh..Fu Kua?

Eason's concert ended with a nice fireworks show..
it's a shame that i didn't take pic of it..
i was acting nonchalant and walked slowly out of the room when the fireworks started but in fact, i really wanna run out xD
i looooveee fireworks..but didn't want my roomie to think i'm some sa kai never see fireworks before..hahahaha

this time i took better pics since i have my digicam instead of using my hp camera..hehe

haha so basically i had another free experience again!
it's one of the perks of living in stupidly expensive hostel :)
gotta make the money worth it, right?

~ The Cs ~

2009-08-11T17:46:00.003+08:00

i never really like anything that starts with C..
Cockroaches, Chocolates, Coffee..
there are exceptions though -- Cheese, Crab..

when i was a first year in uni, it never crossed my mind to get anything especially beverages in San Francisco Coffee..

but i did..food mostly..like sandwiches and soup..
and after some time, i started to buy drinks too..

nah, but not coffee..haha..
it's steamed milk + vanilla flavour!

and i always get the smallest size..quite expensive ma..
but it's good in the sense that it can make me grow taller and strengthen my bones..or something..
mostly it's because hot milk keeps me warm in the cruelly cold lecture theater (part of the reasons why i never attend lectures)

so when i received this card, i thought to myself, "i don't think i'll ever be able to redeem that free drink"

but i actually did it last semester..
as in i got all 10 boxes filled up..
and finally i redeemed a LARGE steamed milk this semester..haha
no restrictions or terms & conditions ma so might as well i make full use of it..
gotta make sure it's worth it since it sort of need RM73.50 to get that free drink..
cis..marketing scheme..

and this became my lunch for that particular day

everytime i go to the stall, the lady knows what i want even before i say it..
haha i guess not many ppl get steamed milk?

what's the point of this post?
i never actually thought of it before typing..
but now i realize-- there are things in life that you'll never know until you try it..
like before i never know what auditing is and whether i like it or not (in which i found out later after my intern that auditing is totally not for me)

all you need is the courage to put up the very first step and get started..

i really dont know what i'm trying to say here..
so, i'm calling it a day..for this post that is..haha

~ Bon Odori ~

2009-07-25T20:33:00.012+08:00

yes i know it's a week late to post this..
but it's better late than never right? :D

so after all the years of saying "i wanna go", i finally went to this year's Bon Odori held on last Saturday (18 July 09)
reached there a little before 5pm and surprisingly there were still a lot of parking slots..
phew~~

i'm too lazy to cover everything..
so basically, there were lots of food! and performance (dance)..
hito ga ooi deshita!

didn't get much of nice pictures but here you go..

if you come early like around 5 to 6pm, you can still get around quite easily..

nice yukata!

wanted to get the balloon..haha..cute!
the area surrounding the stage was so empty then..

i think around 6.30+pm, you'll have to queue up for super long to buy food..
so it's best to go early..haha
didn't take picha at the stalls area because it's too dusty..(haze + uh..dry sand flying around?)

more and more ppl came..
and you can definitely see lots of expensive camera there..
there were pure Japanese families too..

the performance :)

ppl around the stage danced too! :D look at those fans raised in the air~

didn't take picha of the food except for one..haha xD

the first timers

chee ching went too..but didn't get to meet her..sorry! ><
we went back around 8pm..
if i'm still in kl next year, we all shall wear yukata and bring along a mat :D

~ Sengoku Basara ~

2009-07-20T00:32:00.008+08:00

noticed that i didn't really mention anything about anime lately..
this time, i'll introduce you to an anime called Sengoku Basara or also known as Devil Kings..
i've just finished watching all 12 episodes..totally loved it!

the story is based on Japanese history and takes place in the Warring States period..
i'm sure there are some alterations and twists though..

i would say sengoku basara as one of those 'great things come in small package' type of anime..
plus, i think this would appeal more to the guys since there are lots of actions, fightings..

since i've read some historical based manga before like Tsuki no Toiki, i've a little knowledge of some characters like Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Mori Ranmaru and Akechi Mitsuhide..
and let me tell you, it's pretty interesting :D

in addition, the characters have really super cool moves and it has great background music..

for some reason, i like the red guy more than blue guy..haha

one of these days, i might try to play the game..haha..
and hey! there's a 2nd season coming in 2010!

p/s: i suck at writing review for anime

2009-07-16T16:04:00.004+08:00

i guess it's already an old news to most of the ppl..
but anyway, here's a pic on my new hair..haha

probably can't see much..but i don't care..

anyway, results coming out today..
i don't know what to feel now..
currently sleep deprived and having headache..
wish me luck!

p/s: will be getting back to kl tmr :(

~ My Mortal Enemy ~

2009-07-08T22:27:00.003+08:00

Day 1

i have no worries or whatsoever during the first week in Ipoh..
in fact, i have been even happily killing its little offspring..
trust me, when i say little, they are really super tiny..like ants..

but my mortal enemy does not want to back down..
it decided to fight back..
and so it took yesterday's rainy weather as a chance to avenge its offspring..

i walked in the battlefield without being aware of its presence..
but my peripheral vision does not fail me..
i noticed it the instance i bent down in an attempt of taking down yet another of its offspring..

i was definitely caught off guard..
without much thoughts, i flee the scene and ran downstairs..

a tiny squeal formed in my throat..

"COCKROACH!!!!"

#%$^$&^%@$@#$

super freaking huge one! must be the mother :(

i waited an hour for my mum to finish doing her stuff..
but it managed to escape to god knows where because i really can't find it!

so i decided to sleep early to avoid conflict with it when my mum is asleep..

Day 2

day time is my time..
so i scouted the area as usual before entering in..
no sign of anything alive..

at night, i again scanned the area..
no sign again..
i was feeling a little triumphant..
but a part of me was still feeling wary..

my body tensed as i shit (okay, mind my words)..
eyes kept looking around especially on the floor..
but nothing..
feeling a little relieve, i brushed my teeth..
i reached for my contact lense solution bottle and was about to put it back before i saw something familiar on the rack..

all kind of things rushed into my brain..
the close proximity..the disgusting dark brown..wings? EWWWW..
its back was facing me..so i didn't see the disgusting golden ring with the antenna..EW EW!!

i totally squeal this time..left everything behind, closed the door and flee from the zone..
to the point my mum who was in the kitchen, washing plates could hear me..

mum shouted back dengan selamba, "what's wrong?"
i ran down shrieking, "IT'S HERE!! REALLY HERE!! AT THAT..THAT GLASS RACK!!"
mum, "oh"

my mind raced..how long has it been there? since morning?
when i was bathing, was it there?
but..but..it can't be here..didn't rain today..dry weather..
OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@%#$^%$^%$&

so now without being able to do anything, i'm awaiting help..
from my mum but she'll only help me before she sleeps..
which is..sadly..around an hour more or so..

:(

i will never be able to win any battle or war with my mortal enemies..

~ Books....again ~

2009-07-06T23:01:00.003+08:00

really, majority of my posts are either related to anime or manga..
so as a treat, i will talk about books this time..
however, the vampire part is of course inevitable..

if you ever did pay attention to my previous post, i had mentioned that i have started picking up books and read again..

and yeah, finished with them too..

i find myself liking them and they obviously provide me a good time, enough to distract me from google-ing Twilight, reading manga and watching anime..

Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead, with the first book named Vampire Academy, second book as Frostbite and third as Shadow Kiss..
the forth book is coming out in August and will be called as Blood Promise..
the fifth is coming out in April next year according to wiki and is called Spirit Bound..

urm, i'm not too good in giving out summaries or reviews..
but i'll give it a shot without revealing anything much..

so unlike Twilight which focuses on human and vampires, this series is about two vampire races called Moroi and Strigoi..Morois are the good vampires, alive with magical powers; while the Strigois are the bad vampires, undead and evil (the typical vampires we are all so familiar with)..it doesn't end here..there are also half vampires called Dhampir..so these Strigois have some weird liking to Morois' blood and they are hunting them so these Dhampirs become guardians to protect the Morois..

the story follows the main character, Rosemarie Hathaway, who is a Dhampir in training as a guardian to a Moroi princess, Vasilisa Dragomir, who happens to be her best friend too..they both share a special bond..and unlike Bella in Twilight, Rose isn't weak..more independent i guess..anyway, there are plenty of things i love in this series - the action, fighting, romance..

btw, it's a young adult novel..
not to mention, the price per book is quite reasonable..
and my definition of reasonable for books is below RM40..
so if you have the same interest as me,try it out..
get it as ebook if you're skeptical and find it out for yourself..
(if you could that is, because i couldn't find a complete version of it online, which led me to buying all three books at once in MPH and i can now proudly say that i did not regret doing so)

~ Sometimes I feel like leaving this blank ~

2009-07-04T19:59:00.005+08:00

great..
not even a week back in ipoh and i'm reverting back to my old sleeping time..
this is why we shouldn't read!
haha..so i finished two books in about 2, 3 days?
just have this habit to read before sleeping and it sort of dragged til 5am+
if only i could channel these effort into reading textbooks and studying..

anyway, i got nothing in particular i wanna talk about now..
so just stare at the shells, alright? :)

~ drools.... ~

2009-07-02T00:05:00.004+08:00

The pain i had today made it the fifth time since i entered uni :(

i've been telling my bf this and that randomly..
like how i wanted to open a book store with cafe inside (that was when i was so into reading..and i still am)
and how i wanted to open a manga store..
and how i wanted to open a half boutique & half book store..xD
and how i wanted to open a super quiet cafe where you can study and eat peacefully (that was during exam period..monash library is best known for their so called "quiet study area")
and the crazy list went on..

so the other day we were eating at Senjyu..

ordered this dessert called..hmm..
what is it again..
hm..something..mochi crepe with ice cream..i guess..

yeah, i totally love it..and ate it without remembering to take pic of how it looked inside..
basically, it's just vanilla ice cream wrapped with the mochi and topped with a strawberry..
but it's awesome..

so i told my bf..
hey, guess what..maybe i should open a shop just to specially sell jap dessert..haha!

-Melz-

~ Disaster..or not ~

2009-06-29T19:55:00.003+08:00

haha..nope, i'm not gonna post the new pic..
wahaha

~ What is happening? ~

2009-06-13T00:39:00.007+08:00

gee..i love skip beat! :3

this is the week before my exam starts and for the whole week i've been feeling strangely at peace..

something is definitely wrong with me!!
this has never happened before..
especially when my first paper is only two days away!

the usual me should be this way -______-

this doesn't feel right.....at all..
no symptoms of exam stress..(well, at least not mentally)..
it's not like i've finished revising every single thing..

but yet, it's as if my soul just got out from my body and took a relaxation trip to paradise land..wherever that is..

something is definitely wrong.....with me....

-Melz-

~ What you expected is what you will see ~

2009-06-11T01:27:00.005+08:00

someone has been saying that all i ever blogged is either twilight or anime..
for once, this post will be the out-of-the-norm post..

btw, i do not have much time to come out with a well-thought one..
so just live with this..

===========

today, i am even more convinced that motorcycles are the most dangerous moving vehicle on Earth..(oh well, maybe only in Malaysia?)

what the hell? they take things for granted..
"i'm small enough to slot here"
"i can swiftly cut this car from the right"
"i can turn whenever i want"

and then what? cause accidents for others? get yourself killed?

how dumb can ppl be?
how can you cut a car from the right when the car is going to turn right?!!
you're not even supposed to be on the right, by the way..
wrong lane!!!

stupid excuses..
"no, your fault..you didn't put signal..i didn't see it"
hello? are you blind? of course you can't see it because you're speeding!
and you don't see a car stop at the middle of the road for no reason..
we don't park there! and there's a turning next to where we stopped..
so is it too hard for you to comprehend?

how i wish the government would just build two separate roads..
for cars..for motors..
like those lanes just for motors (or was it bicycles?) in China..

so after that, i had my first trip to the police station..
i was kind of imagining how the officers would be..
like those super lan si type..

station A#

officer: oh kat mana accident?
someone: xxxx
officer: oh sana bukan kawasan kita ya..mesti pergi station B#

WHAT?!
i thought you can report to any station? (and this was the nearest station!!)
it's like going to a Sony shop wanting to buy a digicam and they say..
"i'm sorry, we only sell mp3 players here. to buy digicams, you have to go to another branch"

i really got cha dou-ed..
but anyway, at least they were friendly..
so i kinda scolded myself for having a bad imagination of them..

station B#

A-ha! see, those I-AM-GREAT & grumpy officers really do exist!!
just like what i had imagined..haha

so yeah, til here lar..
wanna continue studying..
will rant more soon..

~ RAWR!!! ~

~ All Messed Up ~

2009-05-17T16:42:00.002+08:00

great..just great..
not only did a huge ass flying cockroach invaded my room (again), both my sleeping time and taste bud are messed up as well..

my sleeping pattern started to show signs of disobedience since last Monday..
usually, i'll be asleep by 2am..but it keeps getting worse from 3am to 5am..
sometimes, even nearing 6am.. -____-
not good..

then, when i was studying..i took my favourite mentos mint..
and it tasted like some antibiotic..
-______-
WTF, right?

this is so screwed up..
i blame the stress :)

-Melz-

~ Teru Teru Bouzu ~

2009-05-15T22:31:00.004+08:00

when you watch anime etc, sometimes you'll notice the white doll hanging at the window..

it's Teru Teru Bouzu!
the purpose is to wish for a good weather..

well, my roomie made me one yesterday..

cute, right? :D

and yeah..i've finally watched Wolverine..it's not bad..okay lar..
i've also watched Angels & Demons..i have to say i really enjoyed it..
didn't read the book though..but i went to read the summary in wikipedia..
there were several notable differences..maybe i should read the book one day..haha

so anyway, go watch Angels & Demons..okay? :D

p/s: will be super busy til end of June..buuhuu..

p/p/s: sorry May'n..but my favourite song now is Link by angela.. heee~~~

~ For the moment.... ~

2009-05-07T01:21:00.004+08:00

so i was doing my IBF assignment..
*type type type*

and my tokyotosho feed updates..
a particular torrent caught my attention..

new single by May'n..
eeh? i didn't know that she sings for Shangri-La OP..

*click*

an hour later..

*listen*

ta daa..my favourite song for the moment..
i googled for the romaji..tarak..
so i was desperate..

*listen, see the lyrics in jap & curse because i can't read kanji*

so whatever..
after repeating that cycle..
and i finally came out with the whole lyrics..

then i was finding for the pv in youtube..
dammit! i found the stupid romaji lyrics!

so whatever..
i checked and revised my own against the romaji that i found since i can't read kanji afterall and she eats the words/sings too fast!

~ What is TAR without the yummy delicacy? ~

2009-05-04T20:36:00.005+08:00

i've just watched The Amazing Race season 14 epi 11..

they were at Beijing and finally, the ultimate eating-local-delicacy task..

larvae, starfish, grasshopper, scorpion..
eh..wait..WHAT? STARFISH?

a new thing i learned today..

STARFISH IS EDIBLE! ><

and i thought you can just eat it like that..
like literally bite into it..

nah..have to break the shell..

damn cool huh?
they can just eat them like nothing..
i wonder how it actually taste like..

~ Shucks ~

2009-05-04T02:30:00.005+08:00

just feel like ranting a bit before hitting the sack..

the topic: exam timetable (again!)

i think each semester will have at least one post on this..
sure, compared to my previous history, this time i do not have papers 3 days straight..

BUT!

instead of 3, i have 2 days straight..
not that i mind..

BUT!

the first paper is in the AFTERNOON followed by a MORNING paper the next day!!!

crap..why cant it be like morning then afternoon? T______T

not only that, my third paper is a day after my second and until now i really have no idea what the subject is about..except that we need to play the stock game in investopedia..

i have about 3 days after my third paper to prepare for my forth..
isn't too bad for this..

i've been told to look positively at every thing..
so let's look at the bright side~
i'll finish my exam in a week..
longer hols for me :)

p/s: maybe i should've not rant so much..there are ppl who have to sit for 2 or 3 papers a day afterall..

~ Coming Soon ~

2009-04-29T18:48:00.003+08:00

Instead of watching FnF4, Wolverine, He's Just Not That Into You, Friday the 13th or Thread of Destiny, I chose Coming Soon.

Coming Soon is a Thai horror movie.
And since it is a Thai horror movie, I was pretty excited to watch it.

Unfortunately, I was not impressed.
It is just your average horror movie.
Sure, all of them died as in any other horror movie.
But, there was not much of action.
The "victims" did not really fight back.

So i was expecting the "fuck you, ghost! I did not do anything to you! now, get the hell out of here and stop haunting me" type of AHHHH!!!

Zen zen nai desu yo!

Instead, they died a lame death.

Of course, I sort of benchmarked it with several others Thai horror movies that I had watched before such as The Shutter, Art of the Devil, etc.

Therefore, I expected more.

That being said, go watch Wolverine or something. :)

p/s: first time I experienced a bad quality screening from TGV..i was not pleased at all..just gave me the impression that no one gives a damn about whether the screen resolution is right or focus correctly or not..well, not until minutes into the movie and someone finally complaint maybe a few times?..tsk tsk..

~ Being a lazy pig in Ipoh is fun ~

2009-04-16T17:56:00.007+08:00

i want that as my pet..seriously..so cute! *puhi puhi*

well, i had mentally note down several stuff i wanna get done during this stupidly short break..

1) cover at least 80% of first 7 weeks IBF syllabus
2) finish at least 10% of Labour Economics assignment
3) get some clue on how to do IBF assignment
4) finish Investment homework
5) study for my Jap..
6) prepare for my Lending presentation..

as usual, i over allocated stuff..
not only did i not achieve my objectives, i am way behind them!!
not even a .doc file is created for my assignments!

crap!

sure..i've been productive..
watched Antique Bakery and Maria Holic..
finished reading Hunted (P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast)..i totally love it!

anyone watched first epi of Eden of the East yet?

gee..he looked so like Morita-senpai from Honey & Clover
haha..liked the way they censored his *peep*..

great..i'm in deep shit now..
gonna go back Kl tmr T___________T
one week is too short!! give us more break!! XD

well, everyone has their own excuses..
mine would be, "HEY, i was fucking sick!!"
even until now, i can hardly taste and smell..

looked like i'm trying to suicide or maybe under some depression..haha..really, i got those what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-her look when i took this whole pill bottle out for dinner in KL

okay i better go read up something..

~ Shares Trading ~

2009-04-16T03:40:00.006+08:00

during the first week of April 2009, MBFC Monash Banking & Finance Club had organized a talk on shares trading in Malaysia..

came too early..decided to fool around :D

the speaker was Mr Kelvin from Jupiter Online..

was glad that a lot of people showed up..full house!

the talk was great..learnt lots of new stuff..
i paid attention through out the two hours..
did not even fall asleep..
which is a miracle considering that i can never stay awake during the normal lectures..

Mr. President was so into the talk..hehe

Kenny handed the souvenir to the speaker

the committee~

well done, everyone! :)

p/s: i know this happened like two weeks ago..i'm just slow in blogging it..haha

~ Shinjuku Incident ~

2009-04-15T00:21:00.005+08:00

sorry ben, i still have not watch Fast & Furious 4..
haha..
so just read this post on Shinjuku Incident..

Shinjuku Incident is a movie on the lives of the illegal immigrants from China in Japan..
with some gangs and Yakuza and stuff..

didn't expect it to be so violent..
i never sign up for this, really..

i know when it comes to Jackie Chan, there will always be hoo-haa-whack-bam-bam-and-whack again..

BUT..

i felt like i was watching some Saw-movie-wanna-be..
really, the whole time i was like "OH NO!! EEEEE!!! *pulling at my beloved's sleeve & hide* "

since when Jackie Chan's movie is so full of violence??!!

i still love Rob-B-Hood..who doesn't?

aside from that, i don't find the plot that flowy..(what is that right word?)
oh and Jackie Chan looked very tired in the movie..

the character that appealed to me most if portrayed by Naoto Takenaka (the guy at the far left in the poster)

if you watched Nodame Cantabile drama before..(gee, you really have to watch it)
you'll remember him as..

Franz Strezemann aka Milch Holstein (Milch Holstein means milk cow in German)

no wonder he looked so damn familiar through out the whole movie..

own ratings: i don't exactly like it but maybe guys would love the violence in it

~ I am a sucker for vampire romance, sue me ~

2009-04-14T01:28:00.005+08:00

really, my eyes are rebelling against me..
they just do not want to keep open..
and yet, here i am..
shows how devoted i am to my bloggie :D

anyway, i must be too busy lately with uni and stuff..
i totally forgotten about the Edward i'm so obsessed with..

HOT!!~~~~ and kinda ancient..

oo..i love this..reminds me of the jump-off-cliff scene in the book..

YAY~~~
New Moon (sequel of Twilight) is gonna be here soon~~
i can't wait~~ NOVEMBER!!
oh..damn..that reminds me of something else..
i'm gonna graduate soon..and i have no idea what i wanna do..
crap!

anyway..EDWARD!!! *drools*

p/s: i am in love with Edward, not Robert..but since Robert is portraying Edward, that makes me indirectly in love with Robert as well, huh?

p/p/s: hey..i still want a Twilight poster :) let me know, if you see any shop selling it..or you can always get it for me..hehe *smiles sweetly*

~ I'm an otaku, sue me ~

2009-04-12T23:51:00.010+08:00

i am fully aware that my blog is back to the dead state..yet again..

so i'm taking this special opportunity (my mid-sem break) to revive it..

and i'll start with a post about Gundam 00 s2 which has recently ended..

i love the actions..especially the final epi..and i like Setsuna!!

versus

well, at least he could replace my Lelouch-sama..
but they're both of different characters..
Lelouch is so intelligent and full with surprises and Setsuna is strong and manly in a boy way..
too bad Setsuna is only in love with his Gundam..

nope, sunrise did not kill all of them..
they're needed for the movie in 2010..
YES..A GUNDAM 00 MOVIE in 2010!!!

you should check out the songs used in this anime as well..
i love them..

Yuna Ito - trust you

her voice is strong as usual and the PV is simply lovely!

this is another nice insert song by Tommy Heavenly6..Unlimited Sky~

p/s: i'm so gonna miss gundam T____T

p/p/s: will be back with another otaku post soon :)

~ Ma....Mee... ~

2009-03-12T19:45:00.007+08:00

i was watching Boys Over Flowers epi 19..
and i saw a scene which so reminded me of my childhood..

i bet he was thinking "gee..do i really have to take another bite?"

"a little more and this eating scene will end..i have to endure..maybe some flavoring will help."

"mmmmmmm...."

regardless, it was really fun to watch this..haha

picture taken from wikipedia..haha..
it's been ages since i ate this..

when i was a kid, i used to love Mamee Monster Noodle Snack..
it's so freaking yummy and it made me feel like i'll never have enough of those..
i even had this ridiculous idea of eating instant noodle the way i ate the noodle snack just like in the scene above..

why, you ask..
because instant noodle is so much bigger than the super small packet of mamee monster noodle snack..

don't look at me like you have never dream of doing this before..
i know you did :)

~ Do What You Think Is Right ~

2009-03-08T19:29:00.002+08:00

first week of sem 1 has ended..
there's this unsettling feeling in me..

i kind of set a goal this sem..
want to achieve at least D for all my subjects..it's my final year mar..

and so i patiently did my tutorials (almost all) and read the textbooks..
honestly, it NEVER happened to me before..
me doing my tutes and reading the textbooks on the very first week?
miracle..you can go buy lottery or something..

it's not like i hate studying..i love it..
but only when i feel like it and not when the situation calls for it..

for example: exam period..studying feels like a burden..but when it's non-exam period, i feel so eager to read up things..

so this weird feeling i'm having now has caused me to read up the textbooks in the hope of calming myself..
but instead, i feel even worse..cause i understand nuts!..
crap!! i do not understand a thing in those weird books! gosh!!

then i came into a conclusion:
that i must have stressed myself out unnecessarily..
no wonder the pimples are finding their way on my face without mercy..

and so, i found another solution to calm my nerves..
i'll just spend this long weekend watching anime, drama, movie, etc.. and have fun..
it's just the first week anyway~ *wink*
i'm back to my old self in less than a minute..hehe

:)

good luck to me!

~ Internship ~

2009-02-24T21:09:00.011+08:00

i nvr actually blog about my internship experience before, huh?

well, the workload was kinda alright i guess..
but i didn't really like auditing..
other than that, it was fun..
met a lot of people, made new friends..
a lot of them came back from aussie to intern in KL..
there were few non-accounting major students too..
i was relieved i wasn't the odd one there..

i was always out at client's place so i didn't really see much of them unless i went back to the office..
plus, i'm the only intern in my team..
so at times, i felt kind of nervous to be around the higher rank ppl..even during lunch -.-
felt like a lil kid..but they're really friendly ppl, willing to teach :D

and then before we realized it..it was already end of January..
the last day was quite enjoyable..
some of us including me were basically free the entire day..
so we went to hunt for signatures for our clearance form and also took a 'tour' around the office!

Aisyah

the gang gearing up with cameras while waiting for lift..haha

even took a pic in the ladies'

Peter, me, Yee Loong & Joanna

me & Rachel

as you can see, they really have a nice working environment..
in fact, i love the office..haha..
did not regret taking up the program there..
it was fun and i got to experience various stuff..
not only audit work..but going to many places, meeting clients, etc
well, it even felt nice when clients called me as the auditor when i was working..
sort of miss that..haha

oh guess who i saw in mid-Jan?

yeah! BOB! nah..that's not really his name..
but the first time i met him, he introduced using this name for various reasons (of which i learnt later)..
i sort of knew him thru RO..then we attended the same college and Mun Ben brought me to meet him..something like that..

Mun Ben should really see this pic..haha
Bob, please don't kill me for this..

Bob was in another line of service and he started in Jan..
we didn't meet until the interns' reception held before CNY..
but i saw him once in office before, thinking that my eyes must've made a mistake..
haha..it was him afterall!

after undergoing internship, i feel that studying is much better than working..
i should make full use of my final year..
maybe i could start by attending all of my lectures..haha
fat hope..by 3rd week, i'll start ditching them again..bad habit dies hard, you see :)

~ Muka Buku ~

2009-02-24T00:28:00.004+08:00

this is another case of what you would call "pengaruh rakan sebaya"

"WHAT?!! You do not have a FB??" was the most common reaction i received every now and then (even when i was doing my intern!!!)

"Which era are you from?!!" said Yee Loong.

there was another unique phrase/reaction i got from Dennis as well..
but i do not exactly remember it..haha

"You will succumb to the pressure of not having one," Chen Chin told me on the last day of our internship.

it got worst especially when working..
i had to say "No. Really, i do not have one" and laugh stupidly.
i was too lazy to create and manage one..so that's why..haha

so finally, i decided to create an account..
not because like what Chen Chin had predicted..
just that IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, you'll need to login to view ppl's picture, right?
(and no, Dennis..viewing pic is definitely not stalking!)

back to the topic..i've yet to upload pic and do those whatever stuff you do in FB..
added few friends..(i'm still a lil friendless)
and i felt a little lazy now.......... :D haha!

i was about to vow to myself so that i'll never ever create one..
but anyway, i have an account in FB alright?
so please do not give me the OMG-WHICH-PLANET-ARE-YOU-FROM look or YOU-MUST-HAVE-BEEN-LOST-ALL-THESE-YEARS look or anything similar..

night night!

p/s: sorry dear..i've betrayed you by getting myself a FB account.. >"<

~ Lost World ~

2009-02-23T18:38:00.008+08:00

Note: if you're sick of looking at my face then please refrain from reading this post..i'm everywhere because someone else is a little camera shy..haha

well, my mum had some free tickets to Lost World so i decided to just drop by for like maybe an hour plus?
had nothing better to do and it was only a minute away from my house..haha

damn freaking hot!

me & my stupid smile :D

went for breakfast and then about 11am, we stormed in..
the last time i went there, i ended up getting sunburnt and few days later, skin started to peel off -.-

so this time, i brought along sunblock lotion xD

my first trip to was when i was Form 5..
went with dennis, chingy, etc..
the place had changed quite a bit now..
they put in the sand beach and volleyball net..

oh and the RM10 locker..
so freaking expensive..
but the good parts are that you can open it unlimited times, does not have to carry a stupid key around or loose change like the olden days..

we're the first..as expected..haha

they even have coconut trees!
ideal place to go for those who are not free enough to go to a proper beach..
at least you can be like me and pretend like you have been to one :)

someone buried my leg..

wanted to make a sand castle..
ended up as a sand cake..
decided to make a proper one afterward but totally forgotten about it after running into the wave pool..haha

water entrance..
they never had this last time..

the hippos farted at me..haha

there are other customers afterall..

went to kid's pool to play their slides..LMAO..
i didn't rent the float to play the 'adult' slides..
too lazy to climb up..

the turtle burnt my butt.. -.-

we found the Tiger Valley..
i didn't bring my digicam so can't take a proper pic of them..
those tigers are so freaking huge!!

at first, i felt a little safe since there was this river separating them from us..
tigers are like cats ma, scared of water..that was what i thought..
but i read one of the articles nearby stating that they are in fact, good swimmers =.=
wth??

worse still, there was not even a single guard around -.-
scared the shit out of me when one of them roared..

well, i did get sunburn as a result of not putting enough sunblock lotion..haha..
and i ended up spending 3 hours there instead of 1........... -.-
gee i just love water :D

~ Skate-Wedding ~

2009-02-21T21:17:00.006+08:00

Note: i thought the combination of gastric & period pain is enough to kill you..but it seems like lau sai (for no apparent reason) & period pain too, can do an equally good job compared to the former -.-

first of all....

thanks for the lovely lilies~

anyway, we were on our way to Tony Roma's @ Pyramid for dinner when i saw this:

so cute!

and i said, "Eh? just because it's V-day, they deco the skating ring til so kua cheong! looks like some deco for a wedding, right?"

well, i was right!

there's a wedding at the ice skating ring!!!

and again i said, "Why here? Don't tell me they're gonna skate to the stage or something?"

the groom did some skating before greeting the bride

the bride~

although i do not know who you both are, congratulation and have a nice honeymoon~

we didn't stay to witness everything..
everywhere's full..and we didn't reserve any table in Tony and Zen..haha..

we ended up dining in:

stupid idiotic face at the background :D

at least we had quite a lovely dinner..haha

~ Eat All You Can ~

2009-02-14T00:06:00.010+08:00

i've always wanted to go for the buffet session in Zen..
but it is available on Sunday and i have jap class then..

but on one fortunate Sunday in January 09, my sensei went on a vacation :D

so YEAH~~

the PARTICIPANTS:

Zhi Ren

i chose this pic cause you can't really see me :D

the FOOD:

looks cute but a bit fake hor??
i had found out that green tea ice cream and i are not compatible at all :)

the RESULT:-

i'd wanted to stack up the plates but the waiters always took them away..

stupid service charge and tax!!!
but oh well, i must admit they have a very good customer service..

we practically sat there for almost two and a half hour..
(the session begins at 3 and ends at 5.30 if i remember correctly)..
so yeah, we consumed both lunch and dinner at the same time..
that's like killing a bird with two stones :)

p/s: if only they put onigiri in their buffet menu....... *drools*

P/P/S: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

~ Not Dead...yet? ~

2009-02-11T19:54:00.004+08:00

i've noticed the symptoms..
and yet still i do not trust..
until....

oh cut the crap!

haha..my blog is not dead! =)
well, i am still busy doing my report..
i know it's not an excuse but really, i'm not the kind of person who can multitask *said proudly*

anyway, here's something to laugh at..

1) i woke up this morning feeling like shit (rarely happens lately)

2) wanted to put on contact lenses..so opened the container..

a picture of contact lenses container which i google-d xD

both of my eyes are of different power so i'm quite grateful to have this invention..

3) wasn't exactly awake yet..took out the lense for right eye..thought wanna soak it a while more so put back to the container..

4) didn't realize i put it back IN THE WRONG SIDE until i reached for the lense for left eye..found both of them swimming together :)

5) tried to figure out which is which but..................you know..failed big time..

conclusion: both my eyes will be either wearing their respective lenses or the wrong ones for the rest of the month..haha

~ Resolution ~

2009-01-28T16:11:00.006+08:00

My Resolution.

Come New Year, most of the people would come out with new resolutions.

i've been there and i've done that too when i was in Secondary School.

and i've stopped doing that because i never made them happen..haha..

this year, i finally decided to try to accomplish some of them..

i know i'm a bit slow and anyway, who says you could only make resolutions for New Year?

1. Get a digicam for myself

i bought it with my dear (we're both the shareholders and CEO) about a week before CNY..
it's the DSC-T77 in pink colour!

Checklist: DONE!

2. Perm & dye my hair

Checklist: DONE!

3. Figure out what i wanna do after i graduate end of this year

Checklist: uh....PENDING! it's not the mid-life crisis kinda thing..but i'm really lost right now..it's my final year already!! OH NO!!!

4. Get a part time job?

Checklist: still thinking..

5. Master japanese..or well, get myself prepared asap to take JLPT test?

Checklist: still working on it...quite far from reaching it -__-

6. Research more on studying in Japan

Checklist: really, i still don't seem to give up on that idea..

7. Drive myself around / Learn to drive properly

Checklist: ongoing effort lar..my driving isn't as scary as you think *wink*

and lots more!
well, at least i think there are more but right now i couldn't figure out what they are..

may the year of ox be a great year for all of us :)

~ Peter's 21st Birthday~

2009-01-25T14:45:00.008+08:00

i have lots of things to blog and since Pikachu's birthday was one of them, i decided to let him cut queue..

i am such a nice friend..hoho

so, we had this surprise birthday party for Peter at about 12am on 21 January 2009..

there were Yongz, wynnz, wenwen, noppy, cmy, ayamjack, garo, nana, me, aishiteru and the others..

long story short..it went like this..

Yongz> blindfolded Peter and led him to the basketball court
aishiteru > the bait with the cake..push the cake into Pete's face..
the rest> hide and wait for Yongz to bring Peter out..then throw water balloons and flour..

RETREAT!!!! Peter fought back..haha

it was hard to take photos of the balloon & flour fight..
i had to protect my camera and other people's hp, wallet, camera etc etc
so i tried to stay as near as possible..

therefore, believe it or not, i am actually innocent in this, Peter..
i did not throw balloons (maybe i did try to..but it didn't burst..haha) or flour at you okay?
so now, take my name off from your target/revenge list in your blog!
anyway, i should really aim at you lor..it's only fair since you bully me 24/7 :D

here are the lovely examples:
1) melz, go die!
2) melz, go long piak!
3) melz, go jump out from your window!

i have good memory :)

"!@#@#$#%#$," said Peter.

they called this gayfuck -____-

the real cake!

me & Pika-Santa :D
he's so gonna kill me for this

me & noppy!

really, all of you were so dirty while i'm so clean (minus a lil bit of flour)..

the gang

later that night, Peter treated us at Yuen Steamboat..

and he was so happy that he sacrificed and devoted himself to fight for the ever-so-famous chicken wing..(i never understand why they're so famous)

haha..Happy Belated 21st Birthday, PETER!
remember to bring back lots of comic for me okay?

p/s: Happy Chinese New Year to you people!

~ Buta ~

2009-01-10T17:20:00.004+08:00

went back to ipoh last Christmas..
and the night before i leave for KL, mum showed me something she bought during her Korea trip (in which my sis and i did not go....sobbie)

Buta..as in the buta in jap..
not buta in malay..

let me present you, the MIGHTY SQUISHY-SQUISHY PIG (nah..that's not the name..)

so this was what happened..

i accidentally dropped it and it hit the floor tiles real hard..oopsie!
(more like i threw it down with all of my strength)
and.....

it became like this!

omigod!! i just messed it up! (how cute is that?)

nah..it was meant to be like that..
like i mentioned before..squishy-squishy pig.. xD

and then, in just an instant, it went back to its original form -____-

took me quite some time to capture the 2nd pic..
since my hp camera kinda lagged..

gee, this squishy squishy pig will never ceased to amaze me no matter how old i get..
my sis and i were like complaining..

"why didn't buy one for us too?"

haha

my sis with my left hand and the mighty pig..

urm..somehow in this pic, i kinda see some resemblance..
like she kinda looks like me..etc etc..
i know it's natural but all these years, i never did realized it..
of course, the only thing i realized was that we're both shorties :)

haha!

i know it's new year eve..
and i know i'm staying in my room as usual..

beach party in sunway lagoon? neh..i can watch them through the toilet xD

i know i have a sad life..

anyway, i just learnt and experienced something really incredible today..
just before 2009!

i finally learnt how to take KTM in KL SENTRAL!!

SURPRISE SURPRISE!!

i was at Rawang doing stock count and got a ride back to the office..

so i got no choice..haha..
i was always afraid of kl sentral station because i simply have no sense of direction!

so after walking here and there, i found the ticket counter..
hey, at least i didn't wrongly buy a ticket back to ipoh!

and i tried to find for the platform thing..
so i saw this showing platform x > rawang etc etc platform xx> klang blabla..

then i wondered, where the heck is subang jaya's platform?!!!

and there i wasted god-knows-how-long and circle around trying to find for it..
finally, i decided to ring Chingy!
i bet she was trying to suppress her laughter during the whole conversation..

I KNOW I KNOW!!
i've been in kl since 2006!!
hey, it's just the kl sentral station lar..

so Chingy helped me by trying to explain to the stupid me..
little did i know, I HAD BEEN WALKING RIGHT PAST THAT STUPID PLACE FOR !#@@#$@# TIMES..
ish..so much for misleading signboards..
it was that platform x> rawang etc platform xx> klang blabla all along!!

oh well, at least an adventure worth remembering..

so, what did you learn on new year eve?

no insult intended ya..

this is nice too!!

and many more...

so semangat!!
geez..these people outside and those running the doujin booths can really draw on the spot and quickly too!
how fun..you can draw all you want and like and don't need to study for economics..
you can even continue drawing without any care even if the world is to collapse tomorrow..
jealous-nyer aku~~

here comes the most awaited part..
the COSPLAYERS!!

no idea which characters they cosplayed as..
but the butterfly girl..her wings are so cool wei!

i'm wearing blue too!

butterfly girl! not only are her wings cool..
that uh..crossbow totally rock!

no more tajuu kage bunshin no jutsu..

he looks so naruto-ish!

Rin & Archer from Fate/Stay Night..
i saw a lot cosplaying as Rin..

Pikachu! ahh..too bad can't see the tail..

looks familiar..but i can't seem to recall..

at first i thought that's Axel, member of Organisation XIII from Kingdom Hearts..
but it seemed like i was wrong..
since i did not finish any of the kingdom hearts games, i really do not know which is the character from Organisation XIII that was being cosplayed..
okay..i now know..saw the weapon being carried around the hall..
DEMYX!!

psst..you can see the pikachu's tail in the pic above!!

the hair was done nicely..
it looked super chun especially the back part..

my hp camera sucks..can't capture how detail the key is..
it looked fantastic..i'm so amazed with their efforts!

Saya from Blood + if i'm not wrong..
i saw another Saya with the outfit that she wore in the 2nd half of the anime..
why no Haji?

Hinaichigo from Rozen Maiden

hm..Sheryl Nome from Macross Frontier (i think) or was it Lacus Clyne from Gundam..?
if it's Sheryl then in my judgement, she's the best Sheryl among the other Sheryls in the hall..haha

Lara Croft invaded Comic Fiesta!!

there was someone cosplayed as a character from Star Wars..with the blue light saber sword..didn't manage to take the pic though..

mascots of Comic Fiesta, Coffy and Tea!

by 4pm, we were already plenty exhausted..
so i gave up lar..went back..haha..

~ Comic Fiesta Day 1 (Part 1) ~

2008-12-20T18:57:00.009+08:00

i reached Sunway Convention Hall at around 8.45 am..
according to schedule, the ticketing booth was supposed to open at 9 am..
got no idea why i went there so early even after i had already pre-order the tickets..

anyway, i guess i was a tad too early..
i don't see many people..
so went to McDonalds for breakfast..

(looking back, i think that was because we didn't know that the ticketing booth was way back from the place we got in..and that the entrance that we came in was actually the exit..haha)

we got back to the place at around 9 am +, collected the tickets and received goodie bags..
while waiting for the time to reach 10.30, we actually lingered around the place..
i bought some comics from Gempak Starz booth..

so they finally let us enter the hall where all the doujin booths were in..
it was super pack!!

equipped with my lousy hand phone camera, i was prepared to take lotsa (super blur) pictures!

the main stage

some kid playing need for speed: pro street at the HP booth..

the figurine display booth..
so crowded with photographers!!!
and so many figurines!!! 0________O

somehow, i feel that Lelouch and Suzaku looked very puny among those bunch of figurines..

super super super cute!! especially the one with the eyes >.< style="font-size:130%;">SHANA from Shakugan no Shana!!

this is my favourite!!
Ignis The White!
uh..who's that?
even though i do not know but i still love it!! awesome!!
shall google later :D

my next favourite!!
Shinku from Rozen Maiden

Clare from Claymore

Art Demo/Workshop by The One Academy..

damn cool, hor?

there's also a portfolio review session with Foldees, Animasia Studios, Imaginary Friends Studios of Singapore, GempakStarz and etc for feedback/comments..

okay..i'll be back with part 2 after my dinner =)

me: i just dug my own grave..
cmy: yeah, you pretty much did it to yourself~

you know how things just happen..
like when you're so tired and you just want to drop dead on your bed..
but wait!!
you just realize that you forgot to floss your teeth!

or that..
you've been working in this small room for 3 days and think that it'll be the last day today..
and then, the shock comes..
you're told that you'll be stuck there for at least 2 more weeks!!
yes, you and you alone! doesn't apply to your 2 other friends..

okay..it's not like i'm complaining here (both directly and indirectly) or anything..
haha..
i'll be so dead if my boss read this ><

i'm trying to think positively now..
like maybe there's some significance in this fortunate event..

so anyway, i'm in Menara TM now..
please don't stalk me..haha..not funny..i know..

the view from 51st floor's Sky Garden

Af and I

Ifa and I

both of them are from UUM..
and guess what..their course requires them to intern for 6 months!!!

~ Singapore Trip ~

2008-11-29T15:30:00.014+08:00

random thoughts: why didn't they make Twilight into drama series instead..could cover even more details etc..(imagine seeing Rob in TV an hour a week instead of two hours in the cinema)
-inspired by viewer C; "The movie was so lengthy.....feels more like a series."

i went to SG with my parents to visit my sis last weekend..
and since i'm a little lazy to blog about it, i'll just put up some pictures taken with my lousy hp camera and some stolen from my sis's blog xD..
oh, there will also be some brief descriptions =D

so we took a flight to SG..(AirAsia since it was cheap)..
and it was my first time in LCCT (first impression: WTH?? so big diff from KLIA)
barely had few hours of sleep on Friday when we touched down in Changi Airport at around 12pm+..

so i saw this cute fountain in Changi Airport while waiting for my sis to come..

see how bad and visible is my dark circle?

Singapore Flyer

after that, we checked in at Changi Village Hotel (i think that's the name)
and went to Paragon to have our lunch..
one thing i realized, you always need to queue no matter where you're in SG..
there's just so many ppl everywhere..

yummy siu long pao~~
now that i think of it, i think i had a dream of these one or two days ago..
i wanna eat them again!! :D

huge & tall xmas tree outside Paragon

after lunch, we went shopping for my working clothes, etc

for dinner, we ate in East Coast..

big, big crab :D

the next day we went to Vivocity and Sentosa for Merlion and Underwater World..
at night, we went to Night Safari..hehe
it was so fun!!

another huge xmas tree outside Vivocity

in the Merlion's mouth

at Underwater World

super huge sting ray

nemo!!

sis and i (with smelly helmets) waiting for our turns to play Luge..

and more food...

@ Sushi Tei

the last day, we went to Suntec City..
i was so near to where the AFA event was..
sobbies..and i heard May'n concert was superb..

the Fountain of Wealth

and as usual, more food..

see those crab shell decorations up there?

crap..i'm getting hungry now..ish..
okay..this post wasn't as brief as i thought it would be..
haha :D

-Melz-

~ ahh aHh AHHH ~

2008-11-28T00:14:00.008+08:00

WARNING!! RAMBLINGS AHEAD!!

just got back from watching Twilight..

hmm..for someone like me who had read the book, i hate to admit it but it was a little disappointing..

well, Rob was not bad..Kristen was...okay...so yeah..

a lot of my favourite scenes from the book got cut short..like the restaurant scene, the drive back to Forks from the restaurant, the cafeteria scene, the hospital scene, etc..

the kiss scene totally got ruined by some-ppl-in-Msia-who-loves-to-cut-scenes-that-they-think-is-inappropriate..oh come on..

it was a lil draggy in the beginning..but heck..at least we got to see EDWARD! xD

my favourite scenes from the movie were the fight scene, the 'adrenaline rush' explanation scene, the baseball scene (i love this!), the kitchen scene where the Cullens cooked Italian food and the bio lab scene where Bella thought she smells bad..

a lot of what i imagined in my mind differs from the movie..
like how Jacob was portrayed in the movie..well..i didn't really like that..it makes me anti-Jacob even more..haha..
other than that, i always thought the Cullen mansion was white in colour..
and i thought Eric looked like a lil petite normal American teenager..
and i thought Charlie would look more petite..he's quite skinny in the movie -.-"

Mike was portrayed very nicely..i like that..
other than Bella and Edward, i especially love Alice, Jasper (he who looked like he's in pain) and Emmet..

but the movie didn't really show the Cullens' abilities properly..
it was only Edward's mind reading and Alice's future vision..but they cut Jasper's ability to control others' emotion..
and they didn't even reveal Alice's past..

we got to see Rob played the lullaby..
but hey, they didn't say that was Bella's lullaby T____T
you wouldn't know that unless you read the book..
it's not like i like the lullaby anyway..

but nvm..there were just so many details to cram in less than 2 hours..

oh and i didn't remember to observe the Cullen family crest..aiyaa..
i saw Stephenie Meyer in one of the minor scene.. xD

besides, i think some scenes would be a lil confusing for those who never read the book before unless you're observant enough..
for example, the red eyes and golden eyes emphasis..

oh and there were no "Do I dazzle you?" scene..aww..
and that "Edward's good in everything" scene..
and it wasn't obvious to me when Bella deliberately tried to flirt with Jacob to get information at the beach..

i can go on talking about each aspects..so let's just stop here alright..

so it's time for my judgement..
i would rate it 7/10..
might be a lil bias..since i like Edward..and i like the book..
it wasn't too bad..i enjoyed some of the scenes and the humor in it..
the Cullens' private jokes about their diet and that 'graduation hats collection' (which was not in the book)..

well, part of me do hope that they would make the sequal (New Moon)..
even though in the next sequal, there would be more of Jacob than Edward..
but I really would like to see the whole Twilight saga being made into movies..

anyway, even if you find the movie boring, you should really read the book..
i strongly recommend you to do so!
the book has so much more to offer than the movie..

now GO GET YOURSELF A TWILIGHT BOOK!
it's even cheaper to get it now you know..what's with the discount and all..
READ IT!!

p/s: so what's next Stephenie Meyer? how about making twilight into manga :D

p/p/s: i got to have a great day..i checked my exam results before i went to watch twilight..it was really good..hehe..thanks dearie for putting up with my freakish obsession..hohoho~

-Melz-

~ EDWARD!!! ~

2008-11-26T18:15:00.004+08:00

my boyfriend said i have an extreme obsession towards a non-existing character..

okay la..i kinda stormed into pyramid's TGV today after being told by Kwan Yew that his friends have bought the Twilight tickets from Pyramid..

i was cursing (at the fella who told me off that there's no such thing on Monday) the whole night..

and GUESS WHAT? the first few slots..(11+am, 1+pm etc) are FULLY BOOKED.. (just like i expected)
WTF WTF WTF!!! okay..there are a few seats left but..those are the yucky seats which would probably cause your neck to fall off after the movie..

and finally i bought 3 tickets for the 9.20PM show..CISS!!!

never mind..at least i got to watch on the first day..

but then..later chingy sms-ed me saying she has extra free tickets T_____T
and those tickets are for the 1u cinemas..
arghh!! pyramid's cinema sucks like shit..
wawawa~~~ wasted T______T

so much for being so obsessed and kia su..

p/s: i want to put up a twilight poster in my room..

-Melz-

~ Tired ~

2008-11-25T12:51:00.006+08:00

i just got back from Singapore yesterday..
and i'm still tired..haha..

after i got back, i went to pyramid with the intention to pre-buy twilight tickets for friday's show..
but they didn't have such thing =(
boohooo~~

i will blog about my SG trip later..hehe..kinda lazy now..
have lots of torrents to download -____-

and guess what..i was at Suntec City on Sunday..
i was so near to that AFA event..but didn't go..
and i heard May'n's mini concert went really well and it was bloody good *sob*
wished i could go..

anyway, thanks dearie for the roses :D

i never arrange flowers before..
and this was my first time..
it looked..kinda weird..
i cut one or two stalks..but...hehe...still weird..

but for a first-timer..
it's quite not bad right? RIGHT??? :D

so pretty :D hehe~~

p/s: oh shit..there are only 2 or 3 days left before results going to be released..
and oh shit shit..5 more days before i start my intern -_____-

~ Gundam 00 S2 ~

2008-11-18T18:46:00.010+08:00

i have always been a Gundam fan ever since i watched both Seed and Seed Destiny..

and in this season, Gundam 00 Season 2 finally comes back..
been waiting so long for it since the big cliff hanger in season 1's ending..

the OP song this time is Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi by UVERworld..
it was okay but i still like Daybreaks Bell by L'Arc~en~Ciel in season 1..

i still love the graphics..
and the fights..
and in this new season, we get to know more of the characters' past..
my favourite character is still Setsuna (above)..

Saji Crossroad is even more of a faggot and a wuss now.. XD
we shall see what will become of him in the upcoming episodes..
i think he'll have a bigger role waiting for him in this season..

come to think of it..i have observed something..
there would always be a character wearing a mask in the Gundam series..

Rau Le Creuset in Gundam Seed Destiny

Graham Aker in Gundam 00..
(Mr. Bushido in S2..what a name..as hideous as his mask)

there..my evidence to prove my point..
can't be my imagination, huh?

the fights~~
imagine if this really happened in reality..
all the damages..
in each battle, the machines would come back all spoilt..
and i wonder how much would be needed to repair them back -.-

so..if the concepts are still the same..
then..the princess in 00 would be Marina Ismail (below)..
but i still like Lacus Clyne (above) from Seed..
and the 00's version of Kira Yamato from Seed would be Setsuna~
yay~

the ending song is alright..
but what attracted me most is still the animation and illustration in the ED..
i love the last two snapshots..
nice, right? :D

p/s: it used to be normal humans vs Coordinators in both Seed and Seed Destiny..
however, in 00, will it be normal humans vs Innovators or Celestial Being vs Innovators or normal humans + Celestial Being vs Innovators? i think the latter would be the case in 00..but i would like to see Coordinators vs Innovators..(this happens when SEED clashes with 00?) XD what a mess..

2008-11-14T17:53:00.005+08:00

you reap what you sow..
and my hard work...has paid off!!!
i went to watch Madagascar 2 today in Ipoh's TGV..
and...

I SAW THIS!!

FINALLY!!!!

YAY YAY YAY!!!
HOORAY!!!

i almost died a second there..(i mean..why do i see it in ipoh but not kl??)
if you squint your eyes you can actually read something at the bottom..
"In theatres 27.11.2008"
27!!!!

YAY YAY YAY!!!

AHHH YAY!!!

my next goal is to watch the trailer in the cinema..
and of course, they didn't show it today even though i was eagerly waiting for it..ish..

YATTA!! YAY!!

Let's do this in Hiro's style..YATTA!!!

anyway, i've bought myself a set of formal office attire (blazer+pants+blouse) for my internship..
and it costed me for about RM371 (includes RM10 for membership fees to get 20% discount from G2000)..

satu set ajer.. -_____-
like my mum said, "mei kin gun chau ta jor 80 tai pan"..
directly translated as "haven't see the judge but already got beaten 80 times"..

haha! i said..long term investment..short run loss but long run gain *wink*

p/s: i think i should at least give a lil comment on the movie i watched today..Madagascar 2 is really nice to watch (better than Wall-E)..it is really funny =D i'll rate it 7/10..(Wall-E is rated as 6/10 in my mind and Dark Knight received 9/10)..i hope you get the idea =D

~ I Can't Wait ~

2008-11-13T18:58:00.004+08:00

Note: Come to think of it..The countdown on the sidebar is not only indicating how many days left until i get to watch Twilight in Malaysia, it also indicates how many days left until my results are going to be released -________- urgh...

The slow me had finally realized there's a book called "Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion" which were released end of last month..

and hence the slow me had made a partial decision and will most probably purchase it..the problem is it's kind of expensive xD

hahaha! crap..i'm so gonna find for it when i go back to KL..since Ipoh's MPH does not have it!

i found a video which briefly explains what the book is about~

from the video, it kind of made me feel that that book is definitely worth the money :D

on another note, i was logging out from yahoo mail and i was then directed to the main page..and guess what i saw..

heehee~~ when i saw it, i was smiling from ear to ear as if i'm some proud parent and they're my children..i think some people will think it's creepy..haha..but i can't help it!

you can read the article >> CLICK HERE!

i can't wait to watch them~~ lalalala~~

~ AFA '08 ~

2008-11-10T19:16:00.004+08:00

Singapore is going to host Anime Festival Asia '08 on this coming 22nd and 23rd of November at Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Center..

and coincidentally, i'll be in Singapore during that time..
not only that, as i've mentioned before..
May'n, the singing voice for Sheryl Nome in Macross Frontier will be performing live..

i'll be lying if i said i wouldn't want to go..
I REALLY WANNA GO!! BOOOHOOO!! =(

so i was curious about the tickets and i thought maybe i could somehow persuade my sis or something..haha..

and then..

OMFGWTH!! SOLD OUT!! and you can even have her autograph and handshake with her with Diamond VIP pass.... SOB!!!!! I WANT I WANT!!

that "Diamond VIP" name must've derived from one of her singles called Diamond Crevasse which i must admit is a very nice song =)

now that my hope seems to have gone to a faraway place..there's no meaning to attending AFA without seeing May'n close and personal =(

of course, you can still attend her mini concert with normal AFA tickets..
but that is like so bloody far away..no point..

oh..and i saw one of the terms and conditions:
"Strictly no photography, audio and video recording is allowed during May'n Live Performance."

hah! serve you right xP

i bet hikari will be sad..he seemed more excited than me when he heard May'n will be there..

of course there are still other attractions..
the mechanical designer for GUNDAM will make a special appearance..
some talk about the much-awaited animation called Genius Party Beyond by STUDIO 4°C..
arcade showdown..
cosplay mania..
and more!

i wanna go..................................

p/s: i'm back in ipoh

~ My All Time Favourites ~

2008-11-08T03:41:00.009+08:00

i'm here again..just finding for some excuses to not study..

anyway, i met Kwan Yew in Pyramid after about half a year of not seeing him..

such a relieve to see a classmate from Taylors..i don't really get to meet with Belinda..
speaking of which, i saw Randy in Monash the day before yesterday..
so i guess that's the number of my college mates left in Malaysia?

everyone's gone..

why am i so emo now? must be because i didn't get to visit MPH before the movie..

every single time, i'll always say, "Let's go to where the vampires reside" (literally refers to where the vampire books are located)

that's the statement i used when i wana look for some vampire romance books that could rival twilight because i seem to be not able to take my mind off twilight..but no luck so far..

not even this o.O anyway my mum gave me this cute book mark

and then usually i'll end up looking at the twilight books on the shelf even though i can actually stare at them in my room all i want xD

bad habit..

so anyway, i would be glad if you could buy me Borders or Kinokuniya or some great book stores..with lots of fiction books (i just hate non-fiction books) and manga =D

what am i crapping here -______-

good night!

p/s: i'd like to have these too :D the geass effect is still here..haha

~ Hana Yori Dango ~

2008-11-07T23:50:00.002+08:00

about one month ago, chingy told me that Hana Yori Dango (the movie) will be aired in Malaysia..
but due to exam and all, i've totally forgotten about it..
until Kheen Sze told me about it this afternoon around 4pm..
and weirdly enough, the movie is only available in klcc and pyramid..

and so i quickly went to bathe and went to get tickets for the 8.45pm show..
wahaha! it was superb! i totally love it!
the next sentence may sound ridiculous but..
i think it is even better than Quantum of Solace..

okay..my dear claimed that the two movies cannot be compared because they're from two different genre..

but still..this movie rocks! :D i'm so gonna download it~

oh..and the girls on my right are..hm..super hard core fans of HYD, i might say.. -____-
they kind of creep me out..

anyway, once again, i tried to spot anything regarding twilight..
but i see non =( *sobbies*

instead i saw this..

arara? i wonder how this would turn out..

okay..gtg bathe, makan McD and study!

p/s: thanks dearie for watching it with me even though u never watched the series before *muaxx*

~ 007 ~

2008-11-07T03:14:00.005+08:00

just got back from watching Quantum of Solace in 1U an hour ago..

haha..it was okay lar..but Dark Knight still rock!

i never really follow up 007..this was the second 007 movie that i've watched..
the first was..er..don't remember the title..die another day..i think..

haha..anyway, i've been to another late night movie! hooray! xD
the number of late night movies i've been to in my whole 20 years can easily be counted with two hands..i'm serious!

and right, i was sort of looking out for Twilight poster..
i don't see any..
and i wanted to watch the trailer in the cinema even though i've been watching it for god knows how many times in my laptop..
but my wish wasn't granted =(

hm..it's getting late..so gtg..bb~

my laptop has decided to go on 'i'm-so-going-to-annoy-this-stupid-owner-by-making-every-single-thing-possible-to-lag-like-there's-no-tommorow' mode..

i went to get my certs certified in taylors today..and when i came back..i realized that i've forgotten to let her certify another 2 certs..dammit..

ooo..i opened a new personal savings account in Maybank myself today for the first time~

okay..that's the end of the randomness feeling

======================

anyway, the night before my final paper.. (my bday night lar~)

my housemate, diana gave me some supper~~ whee~~

it's very yummy and i super love the multi colour layer jelly!

as you can see, i was halfway savouring it when i remembered that i've not taken a pic yet..
and so i tried to place it in a better angle.. ><

on another note..

i had dinner yesterday with jaze, wenwen and noppy in kfc @ pyramid..

oo and noppy bought me a slice of cake for my belated birthday~

thanks a lot diana and noppy..and of course those who had wished me :D love u guys~ muax muax..

2008-10-27T00:39:00.000+08:00

it's Deepavali and i still have to study =( buhuhu

anyway, i saw several locations having fireworks frenzy..(about 7+ places..behind sunway lagoon, etc etc)..i saw them from the hostel condo..quite far away though..

that's why they said there's nothing like the capital city..

anyway..for those who are able to enjoy the festival, HAPPY DEEPAVALI!!~

-Melz-

~ Patapon 2!! ~

2008-10-24T15:11:00.008+08:00

my first paper was not bad..quite easy..can pass..just don't know pass with what xD

my second paper was horrible..1 word..BS!!..seriously..out of 4 questions, i was only confident in 1..urghhh!! whatever i memorized the night before, i had all forgotten..totally dead meat..hopefully will get a P at least..i don't want to retake =(

anyway, i had just watched the trailers for Patapon 2 which is supposed to be released in Japan end of November 2008.. (Now, don't you love NOVEMBER? It is the coolest month in the year afterall!)

whoaa..i didn't know they are going to add multiplayer!! now you can play the game with your friends..how cool is that?

i saw lots of new stuff..new chars..greenish arrow went ka boom..

flying character there..hopefully really got..haha

you're supposed to protect the eggs with your friends in multiplayer mode (according to wikipedia)..looks kind of cool..can't wait to play it..hee hee =)

okay..off to watch heroes, gossip girls and have a nice sleep~~

~ CRAP and DOUBLE CRAP ~

2008-10-22T01:04:00.003+08:00

my first paper's tomorrow!! OH CRAP!! the panic has set in..

but i think i'll be alright with commercial banking and finance..

BUT!!!

my second paper is the NEXT DAY after my first..

and i have not started memorizing anything..not to mention i even skipped a few chapters..

that makes it super duper triple quadruple crap crap crap!!

im dead..super dead..

why must MNEs be so complicated? why must 3rd year econs unit so....URGH!!

-Melz-

~ Yes And No ~

2008-10-19T19:03:00.005+08:00

BIG discovery!!!

i've finally made up my mind (hm..not really..)

after a week plus of thinking..i think i'm gonna try to apply for it afterall..

the weighing-the-pros-and-cons system isn't really that helpful ._.

i'm gonna take it..TAKE IT!! so now i have to study even harder for my upcoming exams...

factors influencing my decision are:

risk appetite (blame commercial banking and finance for that..anyway, i've decided to step out from my comfort zone and try to take a bigger risk now)
optimism and self-esteem (have been ON and OFF on this..really..at times, i was thinking..what if i can't do this..what if they hate me?..what if this..what if that..i say, "SCREW IT! malaysia boleh and I CAN DO IT!!" can't believe i actually said this)
pilot year's results (the fact that no one had failed last year kind of comforted me..)
etc

for now i don't want to think of those negative possibilities so that i will not change my decision..

but before anything else, i have to find the course director and get her approval (urgh..so ma fan..especially when my first and second paper are scheduled this week)

so..i leave it all in God's hands~

wish me luck!! (for my exam)

~ Benkyou Shimasu! ~

2008-10-17T01:11:00.007+08:00

i'm currently busy studying..really..well..at least i'm trying..

weeks ago i was busy memorizing hiragana and katakana..

now, i'm memorizing nonsense stuff..urgh!!

anyway, i'm really out of my mind now..thoughts are kinda incoherent..

but but..TWILIGHT! hee hee..here's the final poster!

somehow, to me, Rob always ended up looking a little too scary in the poster ><

and the final trailer!

now you see how big of a fan am i? so please please, Stephenie Meyer..please continue Midnight Sun and get it published..i even signed the petition =D

*went back to studying and cursing whoever that leaked the draft of Midnight Sun*

p/s: Happy Birthday, Sharon! :D

~ That's Why I Never Had Enough Time ~

2008-10-14T01:17:00.003+08:00

i've wasted one whole fine day away..

just feeling super lazy and wasn't really productive..

this sucks..

and another bad thing..i just couldn't pull myself away from my laptop..

so i spent like an hour getting a countdown widget..

no wonder my sidebar is always full with junks..

instead of adding a countdown to my exam days (heck, not even to my birthday!!)..
i added one to countdown to the release date of Twilight in Malaysia..

i'm so unbelievable..

however, as expected, it didn't fit too well..and i couldn't get it to do so too..
being almost HTML-illiterate, i tried to alter the code but it obviously didn't work..

my next option is to widen my sidebar..and i realized i have no idea how and so..i'll just leave it until after my exam ends ya =)

so for now, it's good enough to be able to see till the minutes..and well, seconds always tick by too quickly..

hooray..i've another accessory in my sidebar =D
and oh shit, my first paper is next thursday!

i'm pretty screwed.... ><

~ AniManga Matsuri (Part 4) ~

2008-10-13T02:10:00.003+08:00

i'm sooo tired!!
exam's around the corner and i'm still not prepared..
DOoOOoM!!! (some kind of de ja vu..it never failed to happen every semester)

anyway, i had henna again..
but it wasn't as nice as what i had last year..
didn't last long too..afterall it was done by a student..

i chose the easiest to be safe..this butterfly costed me RM5..

this wrist band..if i remembered correctly was RM5..

of course, since it was an anime based festival, ppl would normally get anime related henna tattoos..

and if possible, i really want to get something like those vampire knight symbols..

or maybe the lil cute logo in sekirei..and etc..

but like i said, it was done by a student and i wasn't confident with her skills (i don't mean any disrespect)

you wouldn't wan't to pay for something ugly and get it stuck with you for a whole week, do you?

okay, back to memorizing! tata!

p/s: yes, this is the last part of the never ending post on that festival..HOORAY!

~ AniManga Matsuri (Part 3) ~

2008-10-05T19:03:00.007+08:00

no complaints or what-so-ever in this post so i don't see a need for disclaimer here :D

Cosplay Competition:

okay i didn't go to uni to witness this but got the picture from the forum..

Musubi from Sekirei

Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club

Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist

the president..hm..Chinmi
okay..i'm not actually quite sure about that..

i've never cosplay before in my entire life..but it looks very fun especially if you do that with friends..

but if i do get a chance to do so and have resources, i'll really like to cosplay some characters from Trinity Blood..

maybe like Seth Nightlord or Esther Blanchett..
that'll be super cool!

i super super love those costumes..
must have cost a lot..all those precisions, details and all..damn amazing!

okay..gotta go dinner..bb!

blogger's note (not many people read my blog but really, just in case):

the blogger (me) should not be held responsible should the post offend anyone who reads it..seriously, this is based on my life, my rantings and my opinions alone..i know this post might offend some people..(truth hurts..oops!)..so, please think twice before pointing fingers at me stating it's untrue, i'm an ungrateful bitch and equivalent..also, those are just some examples and shall not be limited to only such actions.. *winks*

The Games:

basically, different day had different kind of games..
i didn't take pic of everything..but here's some of them..

Wiring Game:

you can only make 3 errors and must sucessfully go through the whole thing..
it was kinda hard..i didn't make it (must be the wind blowing it..that's why..hmm)

Shooting Game:

really, mascots running rampage

my sweet dear trying to win one of the pressie i wanted :D

Dart Game:

there were also some PS2 games, chess, sudoku, etc..

some of the presents to be won..
hand drawn with glass deco by some members..
kinda cute you know..

honesty is the best policy, right?
let's face it..
it's super boring..
games were okay-okay..
not many ppl come..
must be the feng shui problem..
bad venue to get..hmm..

but anyway, i got what i wanted (except the tsubasa chronicle poster..but nay..)

thanks dearie for getting me this!! :D
now we could fold more stars! wHeEe~

trying to act cute..*pukes* :D

next part would be about cosplay..matta ne?

~ Yet Another SPOILER ~

2008-10-01T16:14:00.005+08:00

SPOILER!!

yea..if you haven't read NANA chapter 78..then don't read this..

really O M G!

i've been following NANA since 2006 and i love the characters and plots..

Ai Yazawa is really amazing..i love all her works =D

okay..anyway..in chapter 77, Ren crashed while driving when he mistook a black cat for Nana O.

i didn't expect him to die..i thought he'll survive..

this came to me in a big shock..really..

and Nana O. is still oblivious..

i bet this is the reason why Nana O. disappeared without any notice later on with Nana K. and the rest still finding for her..(shown in previous chapters)..

with the problem between Ren and Nana O. unresolved and now he's dead..this will definitely kill her..and they're supposed to get married too!

Ren is such a nice guy (i'm speaking as if i knew him -.-)

T_____________T can't wait for the next chapter

~ AniManga Matsuri (Part 1) ~

2008-10-01T02:14:00.009+08:00

okay..my least favourite event..
don't misunderstand..
i love the concept but the execution was very poor..
you'll find out how bad it was from my description later on..

warning: this post will be filled with some complaints..rants maybe..and embarassing statements..look, you've been warned..

blogger's note (not many people read my blog but really, just in case):
the blogger (me) should not be held responsible should the post offend anyone who reads it..seriously, this is based on my life, my rantings and my opinions alone..i know this post might offend some people..(truth hurts..oops!)..so, please think twice before pointing fingers at me stating it's untrue, i'm an ungrateful bitch and equivalent..also, those are just some examples and shall not be limited to only such actions.. *winks*

oh well..here goes nothing..

hm..i was told that i'm on duty for the maid (oh wait..it's called HOSTESS due to some event approval complication)..so, i practically got a sms at 10PM+ telling me to check my e-mail..and from there i found out that i was supposed to be on duty THE VERY NEXT DAY FROM 10AM to 3PM..

that wasn't bad..really..considering i'm staying very near..but then the problem is THE BLOODY DRESS CODE!!..okay lar..some black top, knee-length skirt and black or white socks (you know those cutesy thigh socks kind of thing)..

the hardest part is that of course you have to make it work..i started to panic la..i mean..it's bloody 10pm and you fucking messed up my schedule (i was 1 epi away from finishing moonlight resonance xD)..

okay i sound like a whining bitch now..but really, i volunteered to help but i didn't expect it to be so much hassle just to get ready..I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS..

so, what i did was rushed to yie wei's unit..and panicked there..i had a long black socks (not knee-length type), black t-shirt and an orange mini skirt..but no appropriate shoes..usually people wear those..hm..court shoes..those you know, wrapped-all-your feet high heels..whatever you called them..i had them..but BACK IN IPOH!!!..so it was very awkward for me..mismatch, you could say..

but by 12am+, we managed to decide on something less awkward for me..thanks so much yie wei!! :D she also helped me with the hair and makeup the next morning..my saviour!!

me and yie wei..isn't she cute? :D

my first time wearing headband eversince i became a teenager!

it is yie wei's..the headband is gorgeous! i totally love it!

that's my red heels..kinda awkward ><

it was the first time i wore that dress and i just bought it from Dolly Sins..

the next horror..was when we saw the apron..it was made by one of the member's mother but it was kind of too large for me and yie wei..

yie wei to me: you look like you didn't wear anything underneath..naked! -_____-

we tried very hard to ditch the aprons but the mother was there and it was kind of rude..
the best we got to was to fold it into half so that it only covered us from waist down..hehe

oh it was so unorganized..they didn't plan where to get hot water for the tea and all..to be honest, it was very embarassing..i was told that the club invited outsiders from IMU, Sunway College, etc..

but i only meet some friends from Sunway College..like hikari and gramps :D i'm so sorry guys..you guys appeared to be quite bored ><

no, i didn't snap any photos for the food..totally forgotten..they sold muffins (banana and orange..made by a guy..they are awesome especially the banana..yummy!), cakes (made by the mother), puddings, jellies (made by yie wei)..etc..the water..urgh..i only remembered seeing 7-up+ ribena..others were probably abandoned due to the where-to-get-hot-water-problem..no idea..

so we dreadfully waited for the hours to pass mercifully..i became totally self-concious and i bet i was one of the laughing stock in the uni on that day..so embarassing..

i went off at 12pm for lunch and before that, i took off the long black socks..phew..and then went for my tute afterwards..

look much better~ :D

me eating MACC's crispy puff!

okay..i shall come back with the next part of the event soon =D

~ Macross Zero ~

2008-09-30T01:44:00.007+08:00

honestly, i've got a song stuck in my head and i can't seem to shake it off..

since Macross Frontier has been providing me great jap songs, i decided to take a look at their earlier Macross series..and that was when i stumbled into Macross Zero..

i really like it and there was this particular song in it that is really pretty..
it sounded really peaceful to me but there are a part or two that were quite high pitch..

hear it for yourself..
oh and i don't know which language is it in..maybe French?
i saw the word "etoiles"..and if i remembered correctly from Strawberry Panic, it meant stars in French..haha..i think so lor~

Arkan performed by Holy Raz

anyway, please enjoy yourself~

~ Alive or Dead? ~

2008-09-29T14:44:00.008+08:00

major spoiler ahead..
do not read if you have not watch the final epi of code geass r2..

okay la..it wasn't that bad after i watched it..

it was the type of ending where some thinks he's still alive and some thinks he's dead for sure..

for me, i believe he's still alive somewhere out there with C.C.
(and i believe that he's not that kind of person who'll just accept death that way)

they said this guy is Lelouch in disguise o.o

and C.C who's on top the haystack (are those haystack?) is apparently talking to Lelouch (who is apparently controlling the horses like a driver xD)..

but then she was always talking to someone..like in season 1, she said something which was supposed to be directed to Marianne (and Marianne wasn't around then)..

i don't want to speculate too much..i'm way past all those technical explanations..all those code transfer making him immortal, therefore alive..etc etc

if you want to speculate more..there are some explanations and analysis in a blog i found:

So is Lelouch dead or not?

For fans of the CC and Lelouch pair like me

i kind of pity nunally..2 months later after she opened her eyes, she witnessed the death of her nii-sama..what a sight..

kinda sad that code geass had ended already..no more Lelouch sight-seeing on every Monday =(

oh well..guess i'll just need to look forward to Gundam 00 2nd season..

p/s: everyone is debating on whether Lelouch is still alive or dead..but is there anyone who ever wonder what would happen to C.C.? i mean, is she going to be immortal and never aging for the rest of the century (along with Lelouch) ?

p/p/s: as usual, i love all the OSTs in both seasons especially those by Hitomi..

~ Blood Donation ~

2008-09-28T22:36:00.005+08:00

2nd favourite event was the blood donation..
for no particular reason..haha..

okay..i suck alright?

didn't donate blood..too scared le..

my friends were saying..if i were to donate, after that, surely they'll have to stick that tube back to me to give back my blood..

i'm below 45kg and do not have enough blood afterall..

ish ish! damn sad case..

really envy those who can donate blood =(

they take like 500ml of blood.. ><

p/s: saw a few snapshots of the final epi of code geass..didn't really like the ending..

-Melz-

~ Crispy Puffs ~

2008-09-27T00:49:00.004+08:00

like i've promised (did i?), i'll blog about those few events that took place before the midterm hols..

gonna do it separately lor..and i'll start with my favourite..
note that i judged with biased perspective =) [that's the case if you think my common sense isn't rational at all]

i LOVE MACC's crispy puffs..like super love them..i bought 3 of them in 2 days..

2 for RM 5..1 for..urm..don't remember but it's actually quite large :D i ate 2 for lunch~

of course i couldn't try all of the flavours..only ate the ones with black pepper chicken

and mushroom chicken

i love the mushroom chicken..it reminded me of delifrance bistro's old fashioned chicken pie..

a lot of ppl bought them and get sold out pretty fast..sales damn good wei~

kudos to MACC!

p/s: back in ipoh

~ Twilight in Malaysia? ~

2008-09-25T13:33:00.004+08:00

many of you might have already heard about it..

but i just did a sec ago..

and i'm pretty much elated after reading this article:

"Twilight" on track for Malaysia

i can't believe it!!!

i hope they'll be true to their words..

seriously, the previous release date in malaysia: March 2009 is really too long..

and i don't mind waiting for the new release date: 27 Nov 08 (a week after US release)

but still, i signed the petition for the same date release as the US's..
i'm just being supportive :D

so you people, sign this too okay? >> CLICK HERE!!

==========

i read another article..this lucky lady got to meet Kellan Lutz (Emmet Cullen in Twilight)..

he wrote a note to her!! how cool is that?? see the note and read all about it in that webbie:

A Chat with Kellan Lutz....

imagine you bumped into Robert out of nowhere..!!!

~ The Girl Who Leapt Through Time ~

2008-09-25T01:57:00.006+08:00

months ago, soul had introduced me to a anime movie called 時をかける少女..

Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo or The Girl Who Leapt Through Time..
(Note: Picture taken from wikipedia xD)

as obvious as the title, it is about a girl who time leaps..

it didn't sound too interesting to me at first and that was why i had downloaded this months ago but did not watch it..

however, soul said it was very nice and cmy already watched it as well..

so finally, after having inadequacy of space, i decided to burn it out and watch it..

IT IS SUPER NICE, FUNNY and MEANINGFUL!!

i meant it..even shed a few tears in the end ><

go watch it!!! :D

~ Whoosh Whoosh ~

2008-09-23T17:37:00.005+08:00

last friday, i went to pamper myself in fish spa again..

this time, i brought along my PSP to watch Robot Chicken while the fishes worked their shit off..

after an hour, it was time for me to get out..

and..NO! my PSP!!!!..

nah..kidding..my PSP did not fall into the water..it's as safe as my ass :D
(due to lack of sleep, my creativity in choosing the proper words had dramatically plunged into..somewhere down)

hell no..i'll rather fall into the water filled with fishes and their shits than having my own PSP inside there..

instead of my psp or myself, my iPod earphone dropped inside..well..just the left side..
that is like my first and only earphone =(

i jerked it out and it kept pissing water..URGH!!

then i hurried back and googled for solution:
- towel dried it (i used tissue..so tissue dried?)
- then once in a while use hair dryer
- air dried it for about 4 days

i tried and kept praying for it..fortunately, i wouldn't be needing my earphone since my roomie went back kuching and my iPod Nano has been collecting dust for several months.. :D

so after 4 days or so..i nervously plugged it into my laptop and PHEW!!!

i'm so lucky..it's working perfectly fine (or so i think)..
i don't think there's any prob with it..so..PHEW!!!

i'll not give you a bath anymore my lovely earphones..wHeee~~

~ Before Holiday ~

2008-09-20T18:48:00.011+08:00

uni will most probably be very lively next week..

and the week after next week would be our 1 week midterm holidays~ whee

so let's review events i know of that will take place in uni next week..(i'm not totally anti-social and oblivious ok?)..

1) AniManga Matsuri

Brief details:
Monash's newly founded anime club (known as MAOU - Monash AniManga Otaku Unity) is gonna organized a three-days festival from tuesday to friday next week..

each day has different events ranging from different style of chess games, Go in malaysian style, PS2 games, stepmania, maid cafe, guessing anime songs, cosplay and many more..

Personal comments:
now that kind of reminded me of those school festivals you see in anime..
if only Malaysia has those kind of festivals - with goldfish booths, honey coated apples, bonfire dances on the last day of festival, etc :D
i might be helping them at the maid cafe..hopefully the apron is cute

2) Blood Donation

Brief details:
i think it is organized by Leo Club during the Health Awareness Week..

Personal comments:
i have never donated my blood before due to several reasons:
- underweight
- i myself do not have enough blood in my body
- lack of sleep

but i'm quite excited about it..i'll take a look and just maybe i'm qualify to donate my AB blood!

3) MACC's Charity Drive

Note: pic taken from their blog..hopefully they won't kill me for that

Brief details:
Monash Accounting Club (MACC) will be selling crispy puffs from this coming monday to friday near cafeteria..
these yummy crispy puffs are filled with various flavours such as kaya, sardine, curry, durian and more!
for more details, check out their blog here>> MACC

Personal comments:
it kinda reminds me of curry puffs in which i never brave myself to eat before..
but those crispy puffs look kinda yummy and i think i'm gonna try some..hehe..

they did asked for volunteers to help out with the sales but i'm as usual, too lazy..plus i think i'll be helping out with the AniManga Festival..

now, that will definitely cost me their members certificate..because to be entitled to their certs, you will need some points and some percentage in participation..
and with me not attending several events held, i'm pretty sure i won't be receiving the cert next year..haha
but anyhow, i'll be supporting the events my own way by buying some of these~ =D

time to get busy!

~ Money Suckers ~

2008-09-17T21:44:00.005+08:00

URGH!!

the management is like sucking money from us..

last year, they increased our rental from RM530 to RM580..

and this year, they announced a RM70 increase from RM580 to RM650..(for twin sharing)..

TOO MUCH, i tell you..

TOO MUCH FOR A PRISON CONDO!! can't cook, got curfew, internet worse than 56k modem speed, can't do this, can't do that, security sucks..got break-in(s) *rolls eyes*

hello?? we don't grow money trees alright?

and you call this accommodation for overseas/outstations students??

how considerate..

if not for it being so near to uni (so near that i could even wake up half an hour before class if i'm a guy) and there are maids to clean the toilets, i wouldn't even wanna stay here!! and now, you've snapped my last string..!!

melz wants to move out!!

~ Wonder ~

2008-09-17T14:52:00.003+08:00

have you ever wonder what it was like to be borned as an ang moh instead of an asian?

then you get to go to all those cool dances, proms etc with a hot guy beside you.. XD

or maybe you're staying in Forks and coincidentally, there's really an Edward there..and your 'twilight' dreams come true.. XD!!!

so this is what happens to me when i slept too much and have no food in my stomach..
wasting time daydreaming..and still having vampire fever..

great..just what i need to get me started in studying for my finals =(
it was my attempt number 2..but failed great time again..
attempt number 1 was yesterday..planned a 2 hours of studying..but ended up talking in the so-called-library in my uni..nyahaha!

will wait for attempt number 3 =)
for now i'll go and do something else..hehe..it's a holiday afterall~
