My Blogspot

life so far...

2009-11-06T05:16:00.002+08:00

Hey hey, I haven’t been updating my blog for a while. Well, life’s been pretty busy so far. But im doing better everyday. I have friends that I can trust, friends that I miss overseas, and friends that I love back at home. My family’s been supportive and they’re doing well. That’s always good to hear. Studies have been not too bad. My scores are average… Geology has been interesting topic. It is something new, and it has been an eye-opening experience. I’ve grown an affinity towards rocks and nature, which I think is a good thing. I’ve drawn myself into liking the existing planet of ours, how it formed, how it evolves and how it will change in the future. It is the endless journey of understanding the truth, but for now, I know that im slowly fathoming the reason, why I am here. Why everything is the way it is. This also establish and make steady my own principles which I've held on to for a long long time..

Aubrey has been an awesome friend. She’s kind and nice, always there to help. Understanding, Gentle, caring, She has a beautiful family. And I appreciate being a part of it during my stay at her home in St Louis.

Ethan is an awesome vegetarian friend. He cares, understands and makes me laugh. Though we both have our differences and argue about things that we don’t agree on, nevertheless, we’d say sorry and make up just as couples do. He’s been great help, a good listener..

Trey and Aimee are two of a kind They’re awesome in soo many ways.. They entertain me with her lame jokes, and are always there when I feel alone, at times of need. They showed me the different side of the American culture. Not always a good one, but still, it’s enjoyable. I see love and family through their eyes, and their presence never fails to cheer up my day.

To all Rolla Inn Empire residence… owh, how much I loathe thee!! I am happy to be in the Rolla Inn, and will always be a part of it. The Empire was my bridge to the school, my bridge to the campus, the society, to America. It is my first ho

me, my foundation, and will always be. I’ve learnt things that I do not understand at the time, and now am able to be on my own. I’ve met great leaders, awesome friends and many other connections that make my stay that much more enjoyable.

To all campus friends, hi’s and bye’s, friendly smiles and all… they’ve been the pigments of colors that spread out on my field of blacks and whites, here in the states. And slowly, they’ve made such a beautiful painting….

I’m starting to feel the cold air … and im liking it… :)

2009-10-14T22:41:00.002+08:00

It's freezing cold today, when i woke up. Partially it's because im wearing short pants... but it was about 4 degrees. Sigh, things go slow when it's cold. People become lazy and tired...

Whoops, it's time for my geology class!! :) I miss the sunny warm weather back in Malaysia...I should get more coats!

Hi

2009-10-12T14:27:00.003+08:00

It's been a looong time since i've updated this blog. I was going to, but i never really find the time to do it. But here i am now, sitting alone at my floor lounge and typing away...

Keeping myself strong, and telling myself everyday that i'm doing this for the right reasons, suddenly im coming to a piece of my mind..

i regret not having enough time to spend with my family and friends,

i regret not having the time to always keep in touch with them,

but i dont regret making his choice, and from this choice, i found new life, new friends and a wonderful journey waiting ahead of me...

p/s: Thanks Aubrey & Ethan... for making it tad much easier...

2009-08-18T09:33:00.001+08:00

finally after hours of flying on a 737....

"... I'm in America!!!! ..."

.Goodbye.

2009-08-15T23:28:00.003+08:00

Warning!!

This is going to be a looong and boring post. Sigh. I am now currently, at my uncle's house, in Kepong, updating you peeps, live from the hands of Jojo.

All the way from Kuching, Sarawak, i dragged 20 kgs of stuff across the South China Sea, and landed at in KL. Then it's off to KLCC to settle things with my sponsor, before driving all the way to Sunway Pyramid to meet up with my close peers. Then dinner, at New Paris Restaurant, and now...

Well, personally im having mix feelings right now. I'm not sad, or angry or happy or emo or anything. I'm just fine.... too fine..... in fact, I dont really think that's a good/healthy thing. Hmm.. I should be missing a lot right now. Food, Family, Place, Town, Friends, Car, Stuff, My creative thingies... lolz..

I do, deep deep deep down inside my heart, i really do. It's just that i dont show it. Well, not to a lot of people. I really am going to miss the past. All the times in KYUEM... chalet gossips, visits to the blackhole, knocking on chaer's window to wake her up for dinner, waiting for the guys to come to the DH, RC revision nights, cafe night outs, jogging, Mr D's maths classes, Mr Hanson's chem classes, Physics, IELTS - No... ENGLISH classes... all the witty teachers, how Pn Rog likes to brag about her students, how wonderful Mr B can be, how nice the technicians really ar, how grumpy the cafe staff are, how tasty* DH food was, swimming classes with Mrs B, the horrid monkeys at the guys chalet... my fishies...

Then there's my gang, or clique you can say. Our photoes together, the time spent, the secrets shared, feelings, emotions, the love... sigh. And of course my family, whose ever so proud of me, no matter what i do, or what i decide. Who's soo near and yet soo far, who will always miss me back at home, and welcome me anytime. Who's willing to go the extra mile, to earn the extra cash, for my luxury, who loves me just the same, no matter how big or how small i may get...

Of course i will miss them, all of you people!!!

Im saying this now, because frankly im just bored and i cant sleep, after the shot of caramel macchiato... Am i ready for this new life? Or this extra chapter in my life.... Yes!!!

:) Bye bye Home(for the time being..) and, Hello USA!!!!

My next post will probably in some airport, or in the states!! Keep in touch everyone! This wont be the end of Ah Jooooo!!!

.What I want.

2009-08-12T23:21:00.004+08:00

I'm leaving on Sunday, wheeee.... ??

Everyone's talking about treating me breakfast/lunch/dinner. Everyone's psyched up cause someone they know is going to the states! Me?? Im soo thrilled myself! Before this, i can only dream of going to the states.. and when i load up my results page on Monday the other day, i didnt expect my future to come soo soon....

Anyway, im not gonna bore with all the thrill and excitement of me going to the states (*oh boy, i could type like a whole page of those.. hehee), instead i think there're some things that i would like my friends to know... esp those who love me.. who keep me near at heart!

First stop, a simple poem..

I dont blame you for not spending more time with me,

I dont fault you for not congratulating me,

I dont fine you for your punctuality or your flaws,

I dont mind if you dont say goodbye at all...

I'll be sad if you take me for granted,

I'll despise you if you dont accept my gifts,

I'll never forget if you'd ever abandon me,

I'll always remember if you'd ever forget..

Long story short, I want my friends to know that.. ( point form some more.. )

- I will be fine, dont worry (esp for Stel - love you always!)

- You wont lose your friend, because we still are, always!

- I wont be mad, if you dont come to the airport, SERIOUS (*elaboration later..)

- When im silent, it doesnt mean that im emo-ing.. i may be thinking.. :)

- I tend to keep emotions and feelings to myself, so dont expect me to cry..

- But that doesnt mean i dont have feelings.. i do, just that i dont really express them

- I will definitely miss you guys!!

- I will come back and we will see each other soon, kay!

esp stel!!! Be strong!! :)

p/s: Azwan, wake up soon!! Everyone's worried about you!!

US, here comes Jo~!

2009-08-12T00:00:00.002+08:00

In just one blink of an eye... there i was standing... uncertain.. and next, here i am.. going to fly to the states!!

OMG!!

Need to pack need to pack.. i cant think straight now.. Gosh! It's all wayy to fast~

DreamComeTrue

2009-08-10T15:26:00.002+08:00

I woke up this morning, switched on the computer... hook up the cie results website... to reveal... My Results... The golden moment that i've been waiting for...

Seconds later.. i couldnt believe it.. OMG..

i met the requirements... i'm ... i'm.. going to fly ~ !...

Wheeeee.......................

So thank you, thank you, THANK YOU...

For giving me this opportunity of a lifetime. i promise, i wont waste it... :)

Like a dream come true, i still cant believe it... Is this it? Is this for real?? Im going to the States??? OMG F'kin God!!!!! Somebody slap me!!

: ) I guess being born on the 13th of July wasnt so bad after all! >.<>

.Significant 13.

2009-08-09T18:25:00.004+08:00

When i was at Popular Bookstore, i saw a book sitting at the non-fiction shelf, lonely... Without hesitant, i went over, and picked up the poor old book...

13 most popular superstition.. 'hmmm.. this could be interesting, i thought..' Sides, the lady seemed nice... And 13th of July is my birthday!! I was born on Friday the 13th, July 1990!

Excited, i took the book from the shelf, flipped it over... and to my surprise, i saw this...

Uh-huh.. haah.. bad omens** to my date of birth... crap.... do i really need this.. a day before my results??? sigh...

There's like a whole list saying why the number 13 is superstitious, the floor 13, the date 13th, Friday.. etc etc... come to think of it, i think my favorite no is also 13!!

And more, there's a line saying that if a woman has a birthday on Friday the 13th, she will marry and have a child within the year... Haa Haaaa.... Doesnt work on me, i've had my birthday on Friday the 13th, about like.. 3 times already.. im still single.. and very much available.. :)

Well, to every bad side, there's always a good one.. sigh.. Indeed, it is good luck to be born on Friday the 13th. The chances are low, and i guess im pretty lucky afterall ~ ! : )

.Decisions.

2009-08-08T18:22:00.002+08:00

Decisions, decisions. Blue or Green? Left or Right? Up or down? In or out? Good or Evil? This side, or that side? the pink top, or the blue camisole? KLCC or Pavilion? Decisions, decisions, ever so hard to decide...

Living life, is living with decisions. Everyday, as soon as we wake up, shower now? shower later? eat laksa? or kolo mee? go catch a movie? or swimming? Every single day, we wake up, watching the world which revolves around us, we make decisions. Decisions - the determinant of our past, present and our future.

i wondered if God ever hesitated when he first made the world, when he first made men. Did he stop, and think, ' ... hmm is this the day..?' ... ' should i do this first or that? ... ' or was everything set up, written, fated, laid out, DECIDED already in the first place. Perhaps yes, perhaps not, maybe He did hesitated, maybe He did thought for a moment, but He knew exactly what to do, and when to do it, how to do it, and the consequences.

Haah... atlas, i am not He. I am a mere mortal, unable to predict what is to come, what to decide, when, how or whom. I ponder around, wandering aimlessly, to find the clue, a hint, a sign, which may lead me into choosing a path to decide.

I hate making decisions, and yet I have to make them. I have to bear the responsibilities after making them. And worst, i have to suffer from them or i could be much happier after taking them. I may or may not like them but i have to accept them as they are - My Decisions.

Maybe it is already decided for me. i quote my good friend Michelle, ' God has a plan for everybody. He has His plans for me too ! '. Perhaps, it is already decided then, what is left for us is to endure it, to accept it, to race it with all our hearts, to embrace it, to live with it. And that is what we MUST decide, that is to live. For all, we only live once in this world. Let all our decisions, be a part of our living existence in this world, and may they weave a colorful pattern unto our dull and boring lives.....

I have my doubts, yet, i will always have faith ~ !

What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see. Hebrews 11:1

Koi

2009-08-06T22:25:00.002+08:00

Fast Fact,

Did you know that they're giant koi fishies at KLPAC?? - In fact, they have a Koi Centre there too, and they sell HUGE GIANT koi fishies!! :) They're beautiful and BIG!!! Like... as big as my leg!!! (not feet, but LEG!!) -

Jo loves Koi ~ courtesy Izzie & Shahir

Koi (鯉^?, pronounced [koꜜi]) (English: /ˈkɔɪ/), or more specifically nishikigoi (錦鯉^?,[niɕi̥kiꜜɡo.i], literally "brocaded carp"), are ornamental domesticated varieties of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) that are commonly kept for decorative purposes in outdoor ponds and water gardens. They are sometimes also called Japanese carp.

(.. excerps from Wikipedia....)

The trip to KL this time - sigh...

Finally, i got my visa done, my passport, went through the Pre-Departure Briefing.. now... the last platform... to wait for my result.. If everything goes well, then it's definitely Plan A, if not.. then it's Plan B... Let's be optimistic and hope for the best ~! Go Jo!

Updates!

2009-08-01T19:53:00.004+08:00

Hey, I havent been posting a lot of photoes lately, so here it comes ~ ! They're all about what i did recently...

- went to 175 degrees, (*used to be Tao - but they changed management, thus change name..)

nice interior, similar to Tao's i like the cozy sofas, and the unique toilet!!

Besides being a place to sit down and chat, they now offer you free wi-fi anf free Fish Spa! Okay, at first i was psyched, when i went to see the fishes.. (*with Letha) .. i was horrified, OMG, those little fishies, bitting your skin??? EEEWWWW, i couldnt help but to think that it's soo eewwy and gross.. imagine, those fishies, with their salivas, and their lips, kissing and licking and God-knows-what-they-are-doing, to your feet!! And there's soo many of them!!

Letha: No la, so few only. If you go real fish spa, there would be more, BIGGER fishes tau..

Jo: If this was a real spa, and im soaking my feet in there, i would probably faint.

Letha: Just soak your legs la, they dont bite ~ !

Jo: But it's soo gross!!!! So geli!!!!

Letha: You feel nothing but ticklish, c'mon Jo, try it!! Dip in!

Jo: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

And so, all i did, was squat at the corner, and stare at the fishies attacking letha's feet. I didnt do it, I'm supposed to be psyched up abt it, but in the end, the fear kicks in.. i'm scared of a fish spa ~ i'm a celebrity, get me outta here (*fish spa)

- Alright, next, are the cause to why i've been sick...

dont let the smiles fool ya, for 2 nights in a row, ive been eating nothing, but pure,oily,DEEP FRIED things... with my sis (*temptations) - I would skip lunch/breakfast, and wait for the great feast - of fried food!!!

horrid, HORRID things, that make your throat sore!!! After those 2 meals, me and my sis,never touched anything FRIED..... urgh... *cough cough...

- dont eat fried food for 2 nights in a row

- dont eat FRESHLY fried food

- drink lotsa water

- Fried Food cannot be our staple food

- most fried food are potatoes.. ??

- fried food gives you sorethroat

lesson learnt!

Next up, me and Letha decided to try new jamban at jln keretapi. Apparantly, more and more cafe/shops/restaurant/hangoutplace are popping out at that area Bormil/Jln Keretapi - Seriously after Bing!'s third outlet, the eateries there are getting more and more popular amongst working class people, teenagers and also families!!

As we walked down the aisle of eateries, near Lepo's (same block as Jade Pot) - we passed The Menu (*yet to try), 5 Loaves, CHEESE & Tea ... which marks our spot for lunch!

interior wise - cute.. they painted the walls yellow and the try to make look 'CHEESY' ahahha *lame.. Air conditioned, so-so priced menu (set lunch, rice + dish = RM 5+/-) and they serve a lot of tea!! The tea served is in a cup, so that's rather exxy. I ordered peppermint i think, and it's RM 2.50 for a cup - while in other places, usually tea is served in a small teapot, where you can add more hot water if you ran out of tea (eg, 175 degrees, Bing!)

i tried the Honey Chicken + Rice - portion? okayla. Taste? Not too bad. Price? RM 5. So it's not too bad! But i was rather dissapointed when they wrote a big sign that says, ' Cheesecakes - RM 5 only' but when i went in, the only cake sold, was Chocolate Moist Cake - which is not even any bit close to a cheese cake.. sigh sigh... ooo recapse of that day..

Letha: Hmm Cheese & Tea, sure this place got a lot of mouse!! Because got cheese ma..

Jo: ... (*speechless)

Letha: i know... LAME

Besides hanging out, i also took the time to bake cookies!! For friends and also a request for my sis..

well, i kinda miss my friends back in college so i carved their names on the cookies, one each!! Owh yea, if you noticed, my twit or my facebook or my MSN tag, it says,

" .. broke 'Shahir's Heart' - so sorry Shahir ..."

it doesnt mean that i broke his heart, in fact, he was the one who told me to spell out his name on the cookies. SO i did, but then the irony, i wrote SHahir's name twice on separate hearts, and my other friends' names once, then sent the cookies to bake.. When they're out, BOTH Shahir's Heart cookies BROKE... sigh.. he was the one who wanted it, but then they broke.. sorry la Shahir, i carved little ' S 'on the smaller cookies though.. :)

before sending them to bake, i also made SMILEY cookies especially for my best friend, Stel. I know she's busy in Uni, got new friends, and she's been grumpy lately... that's why i made her SMILEY cookies, hopefully she wont be so 'sad' anymore..

smile ~ Stella !!

broken hearted Shahir.. tsk tsk ...

Last, but not least... i went out today, and got my hair cut!! My mum complained it's too long and it ran out of shape, sides, she wants to dye her hair too. So off we go to the saloon...

that's me waiting ....

My hair's officially, 2 inches shorter!! It's still the same as my previous hairdo, only shorter. Opps, here comes the interesting part, THE FLAW!!! The hairdresser was all done with my hair, except for the front part, (in Hokkien but i translated - directly, neglect the English errors!)

H (Hairdresser) : So, in front, wan how?

Mum : So, wan cut off? Fringe?

Me : Urmm... i want a bit of Slant.. like..to the side, slanting...

H : okay, no problem

.... minutes later...

The Hair dresser took chunk of my front hair, arranged it properly with her fingers, then SNAP!!! That was like the longest 3 SECONDS EVER IN MY LIFE, and that is when she SNAPPED OFF like 4 inches of my front hair...

.. 4 seconds after the SNAP...

Me: NOO! I want the front to be as it is..

H : Hah (*she places the scissors away from my hair..) Not fringe meh??

Mum : yeah lor, fringe is short wan ma..

Me : I didnt say i wanted a fringe, it'll look horrible la.. OMG

H : Hehee.. lucky you say early early, if not then CUT another part lol.. so how ur hair now?

Me : (staring at the little fringe at the side of my head... ) .......

Mum : a bit only right, can cover la.. haiyo you, why didnt say early early?

Me : I never said i wanted fringe!! It looks ugly on ME.. MY HAIR!!

H : Can la... still can cover. you comb your hair like this.. cannot see liao ma..
Me : ..... W....h.....y.......???

Sighs, but it turned out.. okayla, the rest of my hair is nice, i especially like the front (my side- right) right side of my hair, but the left side... OMG... stupid little fringe.. FLAW!!!.. now my hair is FLAW!!! NOOO... i cant wait for it to grow again Lolz.... WHY???

Me waiting for my mum - and trying to cover up the flaw...

After getting my hair cut, i went to D'reiza (pasar) to get kek lapis Sarawak for Izzie & Shahir! And wow, soo many different kinds of kek lapis, and not only the RM 10 ones sold at the main bazaar (little stalls) - They sell like, over 50 different types of kek lapis, with different flavours and patterns, ranging from RM 8 - RM 40 per piece (cut).

The one that i saw - sooo pretty was called " Sayombara Bollywood' i think ' and ' Puncak Borneo ' - so pretty!!! and so neat the pattern, but it's like RM 40 per small piece, that's very very very expensive... I got Cadbury lapis cake and 2 kek lapis aneka yg cute, for Izz and Shahir, and a few others - my mum.. : ), i hope they like it. The Cadbury lapis cake is made from real cadbury choc, and the shopkeeper said..

"Tok memang sedap, memang best bah, kalao sik letak dlm peti sejuk boleh tahan 2 minggu. Kalau peti sejuk boleh tahan 1 bulan minimum! Kek tok mmg best. Banyk kustomer order!! Tgk nih, dah tinggal 5 ijek je.. belilah tok, Best... "

So i trust her la, Kak Kek... and i hope it's nice ~ !! : )

And that wraps up this post, for now.. Hehee till then, when i have more pictures, or more things to share... Bye!

Simple Delight ~ !

2009-08-01T00:34:00.002+08:00

I've been pretty busy lately, keeping my hands tied up with things that I've long to accomplish, but never had the time to do it.. Doing things for other people; my friends ~ oh, how i've neglected them for soo long, keeping them waiting, in the dark....

And I've been thinking, and missing, a lot.. about college, about my life back in college ~ oh, how so simple was then, so easy, yet the littlest thing matters... And about exams.. URgh..~ i shrugged. Exams, so vile, so frustrating, and yet, its intentions are just innocently pure... How i dread to turn back time, to make things better, to change things that i do not intend... But how??

Sigh... I wish i could, but for now, i wouldnt change anything... the energy to go back, is just too much...

So, what do i do? I think about now, and about the future, about the birds and the sky, the bees and the flowers... About my abandoned dreams, about my long lost friend, about my family, my charity, my NOW... and i reflect upon every sin that i comit, every wrong doing, every bad choice that i make, and i count my blessings, all the gifts i've returned, all the promises kept, all the deeds, all the inspiration, hope and wishes from others... that are so dear to me now...

And those keep me content, drive away my sleepless nights, my unbearable headaches.... The Happy times.. i've always treasured...

And just today, my petsis/junior came up to me, gave me wishes, hugs, kisses, and earnestly prayed for the best, in whatever i do.. :) i couldnt help but to smile, and i thank them, for being such great energy, positive qi, that brings more light into my life.. THank You! And as return, is shall always, ALWAYS, pray for the best in your return too!! May you succeed in all the things that you do. And with courage, pertain that burning desire, to accomplish the many goals in your life..

For all the littlest, yet most gracious and priceless moments... Thank you - juniors, seniors, friends, family... and all else ... THANK YOU

Goodbyes arent just goodbyes...

And farewell is just another word of saying 'I'll miss you..'

There's always this feeling, when you say goodbye to someone, to something, it really isnt goodbye at all. You know that time will come, the time for part and yet you anticipate it. No, you dont want it all to end, but you know that someday, you'll see it again. Perhaps not today, not tomorrow, not the day after, but you just know... that someday...

Goodbyes arent forever. Farewell is just you saying, 'I'll miss you.' But what if goodbye is really goodbye... and farewell is really the end? Well, must you know that you've captured the moment, while it lasts, you've had it all. And yet, it never ends. Just as Hi and How are you, Goodbye and Farewell co-exists, for the benefit of the other. When you say Goodbye, you're bound to say Hi again, just as when you say Farewell, someday you're gonna say How are you? It's just the appreciation of the other. And therefore, Goodbye isnt goodbye at all, and farewell isnt the end...

Sigh, i must be damn emo to think about something like this... Anyway, so much to do!!! But all in due time! Go Jo!! I havent heard that from someone in a while now.. God, i miss it, i miss him!

Happy Pills

2009-07-28T19:23:00.002+08:00

cough cough cough.. been sick lately...

1) Mini-migrains

This started, hmm before my finals in college? It hurts really bad when it starts, and it's usually off guard. Meaning, i can have migrains in the middle of the night, and then i cant sleep!!! i called it headpain at first, because it hurts INSIDE your head, like... inside, your brain kinda pain.. i dont know la.. it just hurts, really really bad. But after a trip to the doc, got my migrain pills (which i think do not work), and lots and lots of water + sleep. Migrains are gone!!!

i want Happy Pills... to keep the migrains away..

2) Then came another problem, after 2 nights of french fries and FRIED FOOD, my throat's had it! Flu + sorethroat for one night, then dry cough (*now) - whoa.. that was like.. crazy, i managed to clear out the flu and sorethroat by drinking a hell lot of water, and the flu by sleeping/resting a lot. So now, it's dry cough. Its pretty annoying because you have to cough like every now and then, but it's dry so, it's still okay.

why cant pills be pink ' like panadol menstrual ' - that way, i'll remember to take them always!

Im very bad with pills too, i dont like to take MEDS, i will forget them, lose them and worse, DISPOSE them, if i have too.. i dont like MEDS!!! Maybe if they were pink.... things would be different.. hehee

*hope i'll get better soon.. -_-!!

UpcomingProject!

2009-07-22T12:42:00.003+08:00

Sigh, this is what you get, after graduation. EMPTINESS!! Nothing to do, no one to talk about, nothing to keep your mind off other things, and what more, no allowence!! Darnt.

It's been a month now, since i graduated.. and im officially a successful housemaid/penganggur!

But it wasnt that bad, it flew back to KL for BTN and i re-bonded with some of my friends. But still, the feeling of not doing anything (*aside from studying) is too overwhelming. It's something like rotting in a cell, my brain that is and well.. i've decided to do someting about it.. let's see..

1) Get a job - rite...

2) Get a hobby - yes, im considering, kinitting lessons and also voluntary work at the shelter home!

3) Get a pet - rite.... my mum would kill it before it steps into the house

4) Get a clingy friend - I dont think i'd risk it, hard to shake off

5) Do housework? - doing it, not enough!!

6) Play games lor - BTDT, no new games which excites me

7) Start a project - like in sims, i did, and this is the most practical one!!

Project A - Baking

- i baked shortbread, so now im trying out eggtarts and also muffins and cupcakes!

Project B - scrapbooking

- i love scrapbooking, but i cant seem to finish anything. i'd be very excited about the first few pages then it'll slowly die out.

Project C - rejumble house

- yes, i think my house needs a lil reshuffle, repainting, re everything... but i aint got the money

therefore........

i chose B! and i started already! i doing something special, for someone.. i'll be busy now and then, printing, cutting, pasting and designing.. wohoo! At least with my hands full, i wont be having those dreadful migrains again.. tough!!

and i hope that they/he/she/it will love it... Things that i give (which i made) are the most precious, and i'd only give handmade stuff away, if i like it whole lot lot lot. so if you received anything handmade from me... know in heart that i like it very much and that i've put in a lot of effort in it. or else, it'll end up in the trash.. hehee

surprises, surprises... teheee... cant wait to reveal the final product!

a nitch ... something to keep my mind off things..

BestWeekEver!

2009-07-17T22:47:00.002+08:00

To the best week ever!!!

when two of my bestest friends said that they were coming over.... i was estatic! delighted! utterly in AWESOME-nESS mode, because i've never had guests from college, coming over to sarawak!

I didnt know what to expect nor what to do in Swk.. but Letha and I promised each other that we're gonna make the trip FUN FUN FUN and worth the trip.

We planned a whole lot, wayy before they came, in high hopes that they'll be having a great time in Swk!! ...

and as always, time flies.. and they came, they saw, and now they're gone...

It was magical! and i MISS EVERY SINGLE BIT OF IT. i wished they'd stayed longer, and we took more pics together, and did more together... But as Nelly Furtado sang, " Why do all good things come to an end... " - and yes, good things come to an end, to make way for more HAPPIER returns!!

Izzie, Shahir - we hope that you had a great time in Swk. We certainly did

and we'll always remember you guys in Swk! We hope it was worth the trouble,

the planning, the time and money wasted, and hopefully, you'd return here again

next time! ~ heheee There're still lots of land to explore!

Love, Jo & Tha

Today, i turn 19!! No longer 18 ~

Being 18 is about..

Going through the hardships of making decisions,

when to pull hard, when to stand up,

when to give in, when to let go,

Hellos & Goodbyes,

a friendly greeting, a warm smile,

a wave of rememberance, a long farewell cry,

Falling in love and being heartbroken,

by the ones you love, who turns your life around,

by the ones you detest, the ones you forget,

Saying 'Sorry' and 'I forgive you'

for the things done, for how reality really is,

the most hurtful things are indeed previous,

Being 18, is soon to end,

For great memories and sweet times,

To forever, i'd thank...

For today, i turn 19,

More great times to come... or so it seems... :)

Celebrating my birthday together with the ones that i love most - Stel, Claire, Letha, Izzie, Shahir, Michelle, Chaer, Jean... my beautiful family.. and all others... :) Just came back from Rainforest - the music was a bit slow~ but i enjoyed it! Mostly because i was there with my friends.. * loves!

Since college, i travel to-and-fro KL-Kuching most of my holidays. It's very troublesome and tiring, but i know what awaits me at home is always satisfying...

- family

- home

- comfy bed

- good internet connection..

- and there's friends...

No matter, how long or how far i am away from home, I know there's someone that i have, back at home... She is none other than, my BESTEST friend, Stel....

We've known each other since form 2 - sitting beside each other, behind the two geraldines..

Born of the same day, - 13th July, we have so much in common, so much to talk about, so much to share...

Then years passed, but our friendship remains, Slowly as we all grow, most of my friends went to college, work, form 6, unis, migrate... But stel is always around. I look up to her 'care-free' mind, because she is able to think different from others, she defies all streotypical girls, and always head-strong, never giving in, SHE works her ass off for what she believes is right.

I know, she have flaws, (punctuality, ignorance, stubborn... etc.. ), but I love her just the same.

And i also know, that it is not easy for her to open up, to share, to release her inner self.. but still, she is a great friend, and that i know for sure. I know it's not like we're not going to see each other soon, but things will change very soon and i want you to know that i treasure EVRY moment with you..

Well Stel, you're going to Uni now, and im not saying this to 'suan' you or to make fun of you, but seriously i do feel proud of you. And i know whatever you chose to do, you'll make the best of it, and you'll enjoy it to the fullest. Your ignorance bothers me sometimes and it crushes me to see you unhappy, esp these days. Your sober attitude is not at all convincing for me. You might be dissapointed or nervous, excited perhaps, but take it easy. Everything is placed out for you already, so just take it easy, slowly and let it flow. You've come this far, and you're doing just fine, Stel.

Yes, i admit, i am going to miss you, miss using you as my driver, miss hearing you complain and nag, miss your ignorance, miss your stubby attitude, your skimpy-ness, your trying to be 'ah-lien' ness... and most importantly, your lame-ness... You are the BESTEST friend, i ever had, and i just hope i am same to you. And i pray and wish you all the best, in the future to come.

3 Cheers to the one and only, STELLA... my driver, my trustee, my friend...

***

i know how much you dont like taking pics, why-la, you look cute in pictures wad.. : )

Love you, stel,

Now, and always will...

Ever wondered what it feels like to be electric shocked!! Well, fret no further, cause i JUST experienced it!!!!! It was a lovely Wednesday afternoon, where i was cleaning my room downstairs, shifting furnitures, cleaning, moping, etc.. After a whole day's work, i sat down near the computer desk, wanting to tune into iTunes.

Dang, the speaker's socket came out, so i bent down, to chug it back to the extension, then in a split second, ZZZAPPPPP!!! For that 3 whole seconds, i felt the current flowing through my body, into my heart then back to the other side of my hand.. THANK GOODNESS i was in time to release. i sat down on the floor, and 'WHOAAA' - 'AWESOME!!'

It was painful, but exciting all at once! But my finger twichted after that, and that i found 2 scars (like when there's something sharp scratched your skin) - bleedy kinda scar on my body. WHOA!! And i was lucky, i escaped death, if both my hands were to touch that socket, man.. BYE... So im thankful now, and if anyone asks me how does it feel like to get shocked.. "AWESOMELY ELECTRIFYING!!!!"

Then yesterday, went out with Stel & Clairey to watch TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN...

The movie was AWESOME, but the story plot isnt exactly convincing..

there're a lot of hanging parts,

- what happened to the twins? and the decepticons who changed sides - the tiny robot?

- the dagger?

- the Engery? - wasnt explained that much

- Megan Fox?? - she doesnt really play an important role in this movie, i think Sam's parents are more vital..

- US government??

- tons of other hanging moments...

But the best part

- ACTION!! ROBOT_IC_ISH!!!

- Bumble Bee rocks!!

- Leo rocks!!!

- Prime ROCKS

i guess you'll have to watch the movie.. it's an okay movie, entertaining with the effects and all.

Overall rating : 3.8+0.1 outta 5 (the +0.1 is for the kids who believed.. :) )

After that, we went to play pool with Javey!! Wheee, my first time, and i think im not bad after all!! It's a very frustrating game, esp when the ball doesnt wanna go in.. but it's FUN FUN FUN! Cant wait to do it again sometime! Whee!

16th June 2009, Prom Night

no words can ever ever ever describe how i feel that night. So m

uch happened... so much already forgotten... If i were to complete the

sentence.. Prom is _____________________.

i would say, Prom is one of the BEST NIGHTS OF MY LIFE.

Despite the problems arised earlier on before the dinner; the rush to get corsages and get make-up done, the dress, the shoes, the car, my friends and all... The night,

was magical. Not 100% of the night was entirely GOOD and HAPPY, well, there are a few moments where i got pissy/tired/fed up/alone/jealous/ignored... there

are other moments where i felt special/happy/fun/loved and that beats out all the negativities....

Indeed, it was a good night, fun with friends, pictures, dance, food, everything was a blast!!

lucky no 7. >.<>

- to the best date EVER!!

thank you, for everything. i know i make things hard and complicated sometimes, and that im mean and annoying.. but you were the best, ANYONE could ever ask for. And that im glad that you enjoyed your night. My only regret is that i didnt spent enough time with you, but you were wonderful.

This would be a night to remember... ALWAYS..

20th June 2009, marks the last day of college...

.....

it was graduation day, my parents + sis were sitting in the audience. The sound of gamelan and gong breaks the cold silent air. Sitting upright straight, i couldnt hear anything else, but my own heartbeat... Is this the end? Is this what i've been waiting for since i came here? Am i going to miss them? My heart and mind, like fire and wind, torched within me, amusing me....

Name by name, called up to the stage, receiving their certs.. When i was called, i went up, walked, bowed, took my cert, and that was it..... THE END of it all. Emotions flying everywhere... seriously i dont know what to feel, sad? happy? i went back to my seat....

Until now, nothing has changed much, the night after graduation was just casual. I stayed at my Uncle's, fixed a shoe cabinet, EXPLODED an aerosol can - my body and hands were affected and i had to scrub for like 15 minutues. I was as pink as a lobster for the night - it hurts!!!, went shopping with my parents in OU and Midval, and even caught a movie: Drag me to hell (cool!! - scary old lady)

It was a casual thing, but deep down inside, i know i miss my friends, my room, my teachers, my juniors, my petfamilies, my COLLEGE... and that im no longer a student but an ALUMNI.. *SOBS!!!

no regrets...

my college gave me

- 6 angels

- friends for life

- bins loaded with good time memories

- an opportunity of a lifetime to go overseas

- teachers for guidance

- a chance to see the world

- an experience like no other (includes culture shock and other inappropriate junk)

- 2 BEST years of my life

I MISS MY COLLEGE!!!!

and who would ever forget these beautiful faces.. (++ Jean )

My college gave me a beautiful part of life (2 years)...

I love you guys! Miss you too!

.Friends.

2009-06-07T09:45:00.005+08:00

When i first came to KYUEM (*with letha and yik boh), I never thought that i would actually stand out.. I've always thought that i was the quiet one, never noticed....

Until i met all of them.... They changed how i felt, how i think, they changed me, they changed my life...

Thank you! To all of you, who hast touched my heart, and fill my days with wonders of pleasure and fun. Thank you...

iWantAKoreanBoyfriend!!

2009-05-29T08:50:00.003+08:00

I watched a clip of a Korean celebrity - Kun from 2 pm, giving a casual/random girl an opportunity of a lifetime - being this date for AN ENTIRE WEEK!!!

And after that snippet... my life changed!!

I WANT A KOREAN BOYFRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean like why not? Korean guys are hot, cute, boy-ish, good-looking and somtimes quite lala*, But yet, they never cease to entertain my eyes in Korean series and drama. They sing, dance, act, perform, PLUS, they're cute, handsome, good in style, knows what to wear and all...

Moreover, Korea is one of the major fashion city... they're bound to be flawless, good looking guys out there waiting for me!!!!!!!!!!

Culture wise.. Korean is quite famous for its rich culture and heritage too!! Their national costume is nice, they have nice music and all..

Even their food is toleratable. Im not a HUGE fan of Korean dishes, but it's similar to Japanese food and i can live with that!!

Heck, even their writings look like Chinese. I guess that's one of the similarities that brought me into liking Koreans... kinda reminds me of the 'ASIANs'

And of course, you'd have to give them credit for all the ~~crappy~~ cool online games they made for us youths... Without them, online games would be.... a bore........

And .... KOREANS are soooo romantic... They're the only breed of people who actually PUTS a lot of effort, into a relationship!!! They work for it. They make it good. They maintain and make it sooo creative!! And that is definitely a plus for me!!

From couple phones, to matching tatoos, cute lala camwhore pics, nice scenery, romantic getaways, creative gestures, cute faces, lovely sightings;sitting by the jetty and learning ice-skating together. KOREANS are the best in surprises and theyre the best ideal DATE EVER!!!

Probably that's why they know how to make good/ worth-crying Korean hit Drama series/movies. Always with a sense of humour, cute-ness, cry-a-lot and ROMANCE. KOREANS are the best in what they do.... MAKING people CRY!! And that proves, once again, that KOREANS are THAT romantic laaaarr....

So ask me again, would i want a KOREAN boyfriend???

YES!!!

.AnticipatingTheNight.

2009-05-28T17:30:00.002+08:00

As the days go by,
Anticipation awaits!!

Talks going round,
what to wear? who to go with? what to do? the afterparty?

I've never been to my OWN prom, i've been to several other parties similar, but never to my very own prom...

What makes me so excited about going then?

... friends... of course, the smiles on their faces, the time shared together..
... dance ... night infused with food, fun and laughter
...the moment .... has it come to an end .. or is it the start of a new chapter?

the night awaits... after everything else is finished..

"It will be memorable.. I promise.."

Of course,
I anticipate you...

Fire

2009-05-26T08:45:00.003+08:00

Like fire in the fields,

There goes my exam week!!

Burning the ashes outta me...

Somebody help me!!!

2 down, 10 to go.. that's the amount of my finals, 12 papers!! Sigh, the first two was okay though..

In the midst of tiredness, i still find time to linger around, chat, gossip, think...

Soo many things happened, so many are affected, yet so little noticed...

Anyway, ..... some old friend of mine came online the other day..

blue - Mr X

pink - me

"Woi, Ah Jo ar, i thought you r v good in photoshop de.. Why all your pic like crap?"

"Excuseeee... me... what pic of me like crap? Which one?"

" All your pics la... you dont know how to use photoshop meh? u dun hav ar?"

"Lolz.. i know how to use lar... sometimes i lazy.. Why? What's the catch?"

"Catch what?"

".. ... i mean, why did you ask?"

" Oo, cause i got this picture of 1 gurl and 1 boy, and i wan to decompose a bit la.."

".. you mean edit... "

" .. huh, okay okay, edit... you can do ar?"

" when i have the time.. is it important?"

".. not really laa... just my pic and my gf ba... i wan put as my desktop"

" ceeh... send to me!"

* a few days later

"AHJO!!"

"Yes?"

"Damn siaw man ur photoshop. U damn good.. can make the pic so nice.. "

"It's nothing la.. just adjusting the composure and tone of the pic.. "

"Hah? What composure?? ???"

" nothing.. some button in photoshop.."

" Ooo so you use the composure button to edit ?"

"Something like that.... hehee"

"THanks ar, u help me a lot. when u come back kch i chia u teh c peng"

"Okay, no prob.." *smiley

So, the moral of the story is, I CAN USE PHOTOSHOP okay, though my pictures are crappy and usually i steal/tag/copy pictures from other sites... I KNOW HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP!!! - But im not that good... i only know how to adjust the pics... Other people can do wonderful things with PS, sorry not me... >..<>

those are one of my fav pictures, that i've edited.. well, it's not that nice, i know....

Back to study, got Physics practical at 10.30 and i havent bath.. UrgH!!! Bye!

.Exams.Study.

2009-05-22T10:15:00.004+08:00

Exams... exams... exams...

Revisions all day and night...

Instead to sharing how stressful exams are as always... i think i better blog about something else to de-stress the level of anxiety for all YOU PEOPLE sitting for exams..

When you're burning the midnight oil... falling asleep, flipping over your Bio books.... sigh... hmm what i usually do is..

1) Get up, walk around for a while... stretch!
2) call / message / kacau a friend who gives you semangat!!
3) Think of happy thoughts, i'd think of holidays, graduation, prom, going back home and all...
4) think of why are you really doing this. What for? Who for?
5) Then concentrate, tell yourself, that this is your FINAL shot,

and then study!!! I mean, it's really tough and hard to keep focused on something, but really, WE HAVE TO DO IT! BECAUSE WE WANT TO DO IT..

So.. do you want it bad enough to do anything for it?? >.<>

.SmS.

2009-05-18T00:33:00.003+08:00

I seriously think that people are getting more lazy to reply messages... sigh... recent conversation with my fellow friends..

"Eh, What time are you going back? Will you be going back with X or you tumpang other people?"
"x."

What the hell is that suppose to mean?? Then i resent another sms,
"What's 'x' suppose to mean?"
"No."

okay.. that left me puzzled for a while, then the next day i went ahead and asked him.
" Oi, i dont get your bahasa SMS, man. your Eng terrer sangat, i dont understand a thing."
" Haa,, x means Nola, Im not going back.."

.. in my head ... HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT. It could be no, im not going back, no im going back with X or no im not tumpang-ing other people?

He then added on, X tu... banyak mende tao..
X can mean:
- tak de ape-ape
- X nak
- ntah
- No
- Maybe
- X as in a smiley kinda thing
- target
- salah
- eyes (courtesy of Javey)
... banyak lagi tapi tak ingat..

Wow, so im suppose to decipher every symbol i get in an SMS?? Incredible...

Another example...
" Are you going to the cafe later? I need your help with something. see you there?"
" :p "

with my interpretation skills, i presumed it's a yes.. so i went and waited.. waited... and waited.. 1 hour later... he came..

"oi, knape awal sgt?"
" YOU SAID YOU"RE COMING!!!! But an hour late???"
" i kan dah hantar sms... told u i'll be there in a bit.."
" you hantar smiley face je kot.. how am i suppose to know that you'll be LATE?"
" Alaa.. sorry la Jo, smiley face tu, meaning later... laa.."

So now, i know that :p means
- later
- bluek
- *stick tongue out
- boo you
- x nak
- cant do it/cant make it/cant catch me
- smiley
....

Sigh. Not only that, i notice that usually it's GUYS who EXPECTS GIRLS to INTERPRETE their Bahasa SMSes.. sigh, it's okay if the girl's are regular and accustomed to these 'new skills' but macam i pulak, susah sikit laaa.... took me long enough to figure out..

nnt bwat mende laen = nanti buat benda lain

i am a B-A-K-U person kay, so mind your BMs on me, bolehla kalao nak short hand, tapi jgn yg terlalu extreme.. * usually i'd ask my chaletmate to bacakan.,.. hehee

Another thing that i notice is, that when guys dont know what to say.. they'd do this..
- :)
- thanks
- K
- Bye
- ??
- *no reply at all

and S = curvy lips (*courtesy of Javey)

I mean like.. be la gentlemen and creative sikit la.. and dont malas to type... try saying..
- Thanks, a lot for the advice. Goodnight and sleep tight now.
- You're the best!! Thanks a lot yea...
- :) you're so nice and sweet. Okay, i'll see you soon. Bye!
- Goodnight, sleep tight, dont let the bed bugs bite! :)

SMileys are nice, but when put with words ...

But then again, guys wouldnt be guys if they dont so these things right.. sigh...

Crappy bahasa sms...

Shhhhhhhh why dont you try speaking like what you type... -_-!!!

.Memories.

2009-05-15T08:27:00.002+08:00

Sigh...

Yearbook.. yearbook.. yearbook... When is it gonna get done. Everytime i turn around, something spurs up. Or when i looked away, weird things happened.. Been a few weeks already, since we *designers, dedicated ourselves into the whole yearbook-drama/commotion. And never-the-less, i DID NOT REGRET, NOT EVEN ONE BIT, that i participated. Last night was supposed to be the 'LAST NIGHT' - where we settle everything, ready to be print today.. Dont know about the guys, but i'll bet they're busting their asses night and day to perfect the yearbook. >.<

I did all i can, i wish i could have done more...

Another job done, another lesson learnt. I'm very glad that i get the chance to work with all sorts of people, including the great Oggy, Velu, Dom, Afif, Michelle... Ting.. and all others. It proves my versatility *or not, and that i'm still no good in photoshop^ing.. Im still learning!

One chapter closing, another one opening, EXAMS. yes! My exam's starting real soon! as in NEXT WEDNESDAY! Nope, i'm not 100% prepared yet, but i WILL BE!!! Bracing myself to bring out the bEST in me! For all, this is my LAST SHOT!! >..<

On the other hand, i have things to look forward to..

- unis

- End of semester hangouts

- buy a dress

- buy a suit

- Prom - (yes, i will be attending.. with a date! >.<)

- Sarawak trip

- HOME!! - the most rewarding...

Of course, before all else is sweet and sound, the ruffles i have to endure.... -___- tsk tsk tskk... such a loooong way to go, but time's running pretty fast for now.. it's already 8.50am, dang..

And i thank my family, my friends, everyday, for being 'there' for me, and encouraging me all the way!! They're the BEST ever!

No one knows long far long this road is going to, but i know that i'll be seeing YOU on the other side!! >.<>

.wastingtime.

2009-05-06T12:31:00.003+08:00

Wasting time.

What's the reason for attending classes, when all you do is just sit and listen, not learn. You do and when you want to ask, you'll have to wait. When time do not permit, you leave. So, what's the use of going to classes ?? When all you do is just wander, you stare at your classmates, you think about the impossible, you do the obvious, you dream about other things, you dont pay attention... What's the use of going to classes then??

Wasting time ... sigh.. i'm not implying on ALL my classes, just certain ones..

.Princess.

2009-05-03T10:03:00.002+08:00

i've always liked doing things for other people, helping them with daily chores or in desparate needs (though not THAT desparate). but sometimes i wondered how... it actually feels like to being treated nicely for a day.... being treated like a princess!!

i can imagine... hot dudes surrounding me, bubble beds, fluffy pillows, branded prints, breakfast in bed... urgh!! .. .why cant i have that life???
of course, what i meant by 'being treated like a princess' is not entirely based on cash, diamonds and fancy things. though - most of it DOES rely on 'material goods'... i think EVERY girl dream of being treated like a princess sometimes - of course, in their own special way!

So, what's my ideal treat for as a princess? Hmm, i dont really know myself.. Let's start from our drawing board shall we? the pink ones are what i'd imagine...

First, there's always ground rules e.g:

- No TELLING me what to do

- No rude, disrespectful intentions towards me .. etc

Then there's the particular interests - little things that you'd like particularly..

- I'd like a driver of my own

- I'd like 3 maids, 1 butler and a nanny?? ... etc

Then comes, the pampering points - what you want/need/adore/dream of

- mostly material goods

- probably someone to get all the things/accompany you for the things you want..

Oooo, not to forget, a prince charming - *drools

- a combination of Hugh Jackman, Josh Duhamel, Leo de Cap, George Clooney, Daniel Henney & Kwon Sang Woo = SWEEEEEET!!! dang..

Last, territory - du-uh, princesses rule their own country, so you'll need a place to conquere!

- i'd like to rule a small little island out in the open sea... my own gateaway..

I want to be treated like a princess, not actually be, a princess.. Whoops, im deviating from the main point again..

=========

clueless, i even forgot the last time i pampered myself.. perhaps this sunday.. >..<>

But yet again, wanting to be a princess is of course, unrealistically immature, but every girl can dream, cant she?? I guess my simple definition for being princess is just ...

' being able to have everything you want, within your own grasp, and that you can make your own decisions in things... and being entrusted by others... loved by others... accepted by others...'

SO girls: Pamper yourself! - treat yourself well, love yourself! - to an extent** and the rest will fall into pieces... let your imagination run wild!!

...and who knows, your prince charming might just be around the corner someday, and by that, you'd be a real princess, in the little tall tale called Your Life!

2009-05-03T00:00:00.004+08:00

.Bits&Pieces.

2009-05-01T00:32:00.004+08:00

Hey!

Been pretty caught up with studies and yearbook designs lately.. so here are bits and pieces that's happening so far.. ^_^ I've also included GOOD or BAD things that happened... ENjoY!

1) Housetrip : Pangkor

OMG, i have never ever ever, been to Pangkor so it's my first time there.. It was SOOO FUN!! From college, we took a bus to Lumut, then a ferry to the island, where we then we were brought to our hotel, Suria Hotel via vans/buses. The next day, we spent exploring Pulau Giam, via boat rides, drifty waves, banana boat and snorkelling!! In the night, we had 'SURVIVOR' - hahaa >..<>

me.. with snorkelling googles!

me and letha in the boat!!!

i drew that in the sand..

Good: went on banana boat, boat ride, snorkelling, FUN, the sun, feeding fishies, the wind, the sand, the breeze, the waves...

Bad: i LEFT Sebastian at Pangkor!!, we lost our room key and had to pay a refund -_-, i injured my leg

Lesson Learnt: Love your iPod...

... ... ....

Honestly..

2009-04-21T17:09:00.003+08:00

i honestly do not know...

where the wind will blow...

or where the rain will fall...

or when the trees grow tall...

i honestly do not know...

whether should i rise or fall...

will i come or go...

could i hang on or stroll...

Sigh... it's mid april and there still '0' messages - pending .. "application is still being processed...."

I honestly do not know, whether i can go the distance, reach the unreachable, to achieve something, in my life... there's just too much things that lead me to where i am now, and even that, has yet to be doubted..

Honestly, i do think that 'SOMEONE' is testing my patience, testing my tolerance, my perseverance, my faith, my hope, my trust, my all... I may be a realist, skeptical of the ever changing world, and yet, inside me, is a tiny self, trying to cling on to a silhouette of hope..

But i will continue to live day by day, to the fullest... not because i have to, but because i want to...

Honestly, i want to achieve... i want to go further... i want to see what the world has to offer.. i want wings, to fly, to dream, to dare, to dive.... Please, dont ever let me fail me, ever again...

The ME that isnt there...

2009-04-14T13:25:00.003+08:00

The Me, who once was shining,

Who stood bright and clear in the starry night,

Whose heart i love, that melts the world,

Whose smile i adore, sweet scent of dew,

Whose eyes, so clear, reflects the blue..

The Me, now, who is drowning in dark water,

Is lost, and what not, crushed and disposed,

Silent surrounds her, the darkness succumbs,

She is now emptiness, as she breaks apart....

S I G H S I G H.. i'm pretty sure almost every blog (senior's) you are reading now, either posted up lame crappy exams jokes or the EMO part of getting results.. MY RESULTS are BAD>... dont ask... i dont feel like telling, but let's just say that i FAILEd all my papers... I let myself down.. someone save me . . .

S I G H

happy post coming.. i hope there's something i can crap about.. besides crappy lame results..

The Bet : The Good and Evil in Me

2009-04-08T11:28:00.005+08:00

(i) The Bet

I made with Letha on Sunday night... it was random ... And the bet was to...

- STAY IN MY ROOM FOR 2 DAYS!!

easy? hahaaa not just that.. i am NOT supposed to..

- go rc/cafe/it lab/other chalets/acad area INTENTIONALLY as in to study/lepak/ or etc..

- message anyone

.. i forgot.. there's a list of rules...

but of course, i can go to the DH to eat... and Letha was the ONLY exception to these rules...

Well, i can really say how proud i am for able to actually complete it. I was going NUTS staying in my room for 2 consecutive nights!! ALONE!! facing Physics and Maths and Chem... I;m soo relieved that it's over.. and i know that YOU GUYS MISSED ME!! HAH!!!

I realized too that i have been messaging to much -__-!! cant help.. and that i miss going to the RC to socialize, cuci mata and study!! Hehee...

(ii) The Good and Evil in Me

" Love, is the enchanted dawn of every heart .. " Alphonse Marie de la Martine

The Evil in Me

I ponder into problems, like a never ending stair. I hate. I despise. I critique. I cry. I anger. i blame myself. Like how i would stare into each of my mis-actions, or actions, i walk down the lane of never return, until someone calls me.

I hesitate. I lag. I take. I lie. I am a self-sacrificial loser, incapable of contenting myself. I hate myself for not able to cheer myself up. I hate it when i think too much. I hate it when i fail. I hate it when i write this....

The Good in Me

I am Jojo! I am happy. I love making crafts. I love drawing. I love.. I love.. I smile. I laugh. I listen. I advice. I befriend. I care...

I make cards on your birthdays. I send you messages. I write you small notes. I remind you dates. I make you smile. I cheer you up. I accompany you. I help you. I pray for you. I constantly think and miss you... I love you.... i love you...

....

......

........

..........

Evil + Good = ME

hate it or not, i like ME just fine.... =)

.STUDY MODE.

2009-04-02T09:07:00.003+08:00

This is Jo, in study mode speaking..

Studying is Stressing . . .

Studying is like ordering a cup of hot caramel macchiato, but you dont have enough cash for it . . .

Studying is like driving without a destination . . .

Studying is like brushing your teeth, without toothpaste . . .

Studying is like eating expired pasta cooked with tomato sauce (maggi type - yucks!)

Studying is worth-while . . .

Studying is like a long term investment . . .

Studying is like a river that flows to the sea . . .

Studying is like tanning on the beach ( you get nice skin after the sunburn)

Studying is like eating melted ice cream with yogurt and cream... (yummy!!)

Conjecture: Jo is studying ...

Argument: Jo is procrastinating ...

Conclusion: .... ??? ... I'm going crazy!!!

ANYWAY< HAPPY BURTHDAY PAT!!!

i survived...

2009-03-21T20:13:00.004+08:00

It was an usual outing....

with Shaun and Stel at Starbucks @ Spring (* note the S's)....

We chatted, we laughed, we were ready to head home.....

We went down the stairs leading to the basement, where our cars are parked....

.................

...............

...........

........

......

....

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!

...

.....

.........

............

..................

WHAT'S THE SMELL? WHAT's WITH THE FOG??

WHERE'S THE CAR???

We searched for our cars in the midst of fog, and the strange stentch..... WHAT IS THIS PLACE?? WHERE's EVERYONE... WHAT's THE NOISE???

ceeeh, it's FOGGING... as in to 'usir nyamuk'... -_-!! We went in Shaun's car (*after walking in the fog, covering our nose and mouth) =, then from there, we drove 'SLOWLY' to Stel's car..

I'm telling you, it's damn SCARYYY!!! It's like no one's around, and you CANT SEE SHIT in the fog (*before we found out it was a fogging process going on ). Before i knew it was mosquito fog, i had a few assumptions;

- BURNING FIRE

- dry ice????

- Sarin gas??

- CO, but it couldnt be because it's foggy.. it's just a thought

- i'm dreaming???

But it was DAMN cool, it's like we're driving, in the mist, like in some zombie game ( Resident Evil or Silent Hill ) and like, in the car, holding shotguns or a handgun, waiting for zombies to appear and attack you!!! but unfortunately, there was no zombies, only a couple of guys holding the fogging machines... - note that i'm excited when i wrote this!! DANG, but we survived it, and i got LIVE footage, maybe i can post it here??? maybe...

....

.....

Neways, tonight's my last night here, and i'll be heading back to prison tomorrow.. sigh!!! Here's what im gonna miss..

- family

- Shaun and Stel

- my tele

- my bed

- my closet

- my house phone... * i can call Izzie with it!!

- PC...

- Starbucks, Laksa, KuehChap, Kolo Mee, ... ......

S I G H

BUT! i managed to..

- pass my driving test

- teman Stel to get STPM results & a phone

- met up with a loooot of friends

- bought new heels

- went bowling!!!

- watched Dragon Ball Evolution, Watchmen

- studied (*a bit)

- spend time with 2 of my 3 most important buddies

- get a brand new iPod Touch, which i am proud of until now..

..and the next holiday awaits!! I'm adding new things to my list.. check it out if you have time..

Bye bye kuching.. i'll be back soon!!

Love,

I passed my driving test!

2009-03-17T17:49:00.004+08:00

I woke up early today,

as told by my instructor,

Knowing that it's 'THE DAY',

I test my skills as a driver.....

Some people say that driving tests are 'HARD' ... well... i'm here to clarify that,

DRIVING TESTS ARE EASY!!! - if you are a good driver

Well, the processes are simple enough, it's just YOU!!! if YOU think it's hard, then it's HARD. So bring in the positive chii to attract the goodness and luck!!! I do seriously think that Driving Tests are soo OVERRATED sometimes..... as in some people think it's like SPM or something, it's not like SPM where you have to study kay... you just need to put in some effort, practice and time for it.

To pass the test, first you need to pass the;

1) Computerised test

Definition: Computerised objective questions about road rules and a color blind test

Procedures: Attend the courses ( 5 jam + Bengkel ), do revision ( read ), go to test center, wait in turn, ANSWER

Passing mark: 42/50 (Theory), 10/10 (for Color Blind test)

Cheats: Just finish doing the '500 soalan' yellow book and you will find patterns. READ CAREFULLY!! Dont rush the test! - hah i did mine in like 17 minutes, of the 1 hour given...hehe but dont take me as an example.. very bad..

Circuit Test

2) Uphill ( Naik Bukit )

Definition: A girl's worst nightmare, driving up an inclined road...

Procedures: Drive up the hill until a bar is parallel to your shoulder ( or your front tyre is in the yellow zone), pull the handbreak, raise your hand, then pump the acc, release clutch and handbreak, and roll down!!!!

Passing mark: As long as you complete all of the above within 3 mins, and you DONT ROLL DOWN the hill, you PASS!

Cheats: when handbreak is pulled, breathe, then pump the acc to 3.0 ++ ( rpm meter ), HOLD the acc, then slowly release clutch until meter reads 2.0 --, HOLD the clutch, then release handbreak.. guarantee PASS!!! - if you do it right

3) Side parking

Definition: Park your car in the box

Procedures: Drive to the side of the parking box, reverse in slowly and park your car IN THE BOX!

Passing mark: just as long you get the car in the box without knocking any steel bars at the side within 15 mins.

Cheats: Drive in front until your 'indicator' is paralel to the first steel bar, put in reverse gear, turn the steering wheel to the right (pusing habis), then reverse until your back tyre touches the first mark line (its on the road), then turn the steering wheel to the left (pusing habis jugak), then reverse in until your car is in the box. Tadaa!

4) 3-point turning

Definition: It's like driving into a dead end, then you have to turn...

Procedures: Drive in, turn right, reverse, drive out.. like a drive-in McD..-_-!!

Passing mark: Make a 3 point turning without knocking any of the steel bar..

Cheats: there are no cheats for this one.. it's very simple....

and the final test...

On the road

5) On the road driving

Definition: Drive on the road lah!!

Procedures: Depending on whether you get laluan A,B or C... just drive

Passing mark: 16/20 - you cannot make more than 4 mistakes!

Cheats: hmm i dont think you can rasuah the JPJ person, so there are no cheats in driving..

Hints: people tend to forget these, i know i did...

- check your gearbox to see whether the gear is in 'FREE'

- check signals and wipers before moving

- check ALL mirrors, front, back and rear!!

And by doing all that you'll get your Driving License!! I was waiting at the Pending - Driving place since 8.30 and i did my test at 1.00 pm.. so be sure to bring a book or music or your iPods.. it's bound to get bored.. And the excitement and nervousness wears off.. esp when you've waited for more than 3 hours... i know i was calm and 'emotion-less' but still confident and focused when it was my turn... Just keep your eyes wide open, pay FULL attention and dont rush.. Hehee!

Vrooming in a 'TURBO' kancil!!

That's me driving... waiting in line.... Damn hot, no seatbelts!!

The rest of 'Sesi 4' waiting in line..

The price to pay.. i scratched my leg when i was about to close the door

No 1: The parking place!!...

Cars lining up to practice..

The nightmare... Naik bukit!!!

LULUS!! i know it's blur.. camera phone ma.. and the person was too eager to snatch my form from me.. -_-!!

LULUS semua! Wohoo This is for the 'circuit' section

I cannot tell you how HAPPY and TIRED i am after the test, all i know now is...

I CAN DRIVE!!!! WOHOO!! WITH A red-white 'P' STICKER!!!

WantsMisses & ThankYous

2009-03-16T00:09:00.003+08:00

- i miss hanging out with Stel * Shaun

- i miss having supper with my family

- i miss coming home late from a mid night movie

- i miss disturbing my sister

- i miss college people!!!

- i miss the Old Me

- i miss Kuching!!!

YEAHH!!

**long sigh...

Phewww... i can feel things changing around me. Better things, great things, more to come..

At this instant, i can feel where i stand, where i am... i'm soo lovin this moment!!!

Thank you! my driving test is in 2 more days! tomorrow's the last practise.. wish me luck!!

.Over-rated.

2009-03-12T20:26:00.005+08:00

Current new updates in my life so far...

How's that for a start, hehee i got my first ever iPod!!! and it's no ordinary iPod, it's an iPod Touch!!! Yeeouch!! I've been longing for an iPod for.... quite some time now, and here it is.. Tadaa! Another 16gb of my life now... I dedicate to music, videos, games and so much more...

Why i want/need/crave for an iPod... because..

- i want one, so what? I just WANT ONE...

- to say buhbye to boredom!!!

- to concentrate, when i cant concentrate - music makes it easier for me

- i dont need to borrow Shahir's or Velu's

- so that i can jog further!!! music is my drive!

- to show off!! kekekekeeee

well, let's just say, if i were to survive on an island for 3 days, the first thing i would bring is my iPod... that's how much it is important to me now.... >..<

2) Celcom Postpaid...

- wohoo! i dont like reloading and ++ airtime just to use my phone... so i'm switching to postpaid. No worries, still the same number.. only that, my dad's paying! Not me! tehee

3) Driving Doose

I came back last week - and i was taught how to park, do a 3-point turning and to 'naik bukit' in just one day... Phew, but at least the sweat paid off, i can do all of th

em now! AND i'm soo ready for the test next tues, 17th! wish me luck!

It's not as hard as it looks, really, sometimes i think Driving Tests are a lil too Over-rated... i mean like, c'mon.. anyone can do it, if they have a good instructor and a sane mind to operate the car!!! Really, just chill when you learn, and take it easy... * i shouldnt say this, what if i fail my test??? Shit.....

4) Stel's STPM..

Being a good friend as i am, heheeee ( so vain.. ) i accompanied my best friend, Stel to get her STPM result. I sorta made her to go breakfast with me, ( her treat ) at After 3 ( damn nice dim sum and chicken porridge).... then we waited for her result together with K Fong ( who came in later) .... Well, i'm glad that i went, and seriously i think she COULD HAVE DONE BETTER... but we all have to face reality.... and that whatever it is, Stel, there is always a streak of light, even in the darkest alley!!

5) Fun with Friends!

We ( me, stel, both gerals, K Fong and Jardian) went bowling today!! wheee... i wasnt the lucky striker, but hey at least i got a STRIKE!!! Stel was as usual the 'Stale Queen' with lots of zero.. hehee i like the way she bashes the bowling bowl across the alley... heheee very funnY! K Fong was competitive.... Jardian... needless to say, he scored double strikes and a few more... -_-!! Moral of story, guys beat girls in bowling, end of story....

But the important lesson is, we all HAD FUN!!! i'm sure i'll be bowling again. So watchout!!! im going bowling!!

That's about it.. of course, i have like a long loooong list to do for my hols and i havent even completed one... hahahah... and i miss college people!!! Dang.... crap... -_-!!! i'm torn!!!

" Life is beautiful.

But it's complicated..

Yea, we barely make it.

We dont need to understand.

There are miracles, miracle... "

Yeseriee, Life is indeed complicated!! Sighs, so much has happened, and i'm in no mood to fix things, patch things up.. it's not that i dont want to, im just too tired. I need a break, break free from all the troubles, the hate, the retrenchment.

I'm not perfect, i am human. I can break, i make mistakes.. At least i am humane enough to apologize... I have no intention in this world to shoulder burden on anybody.. As how i came in this world, i shall leave it just as that, ALONE..

I've said enough, i've done enough... how much more do you intend to break me?...

now, it's time for happy posts!!!

Okay, remind me to post up

1) izzie's bday pics

2) bukit tinggi - this will be a very very very long post.. hehee

till then..

" Stand where you are.
We let all these moments pass us by... "

You're sweet and kind and you're always there to cheer me up or make me smile or eat dinner with me or go to the rc, and layan me when im emo, and ask me if i'm unwell, send me messaged of smileys, and everything else you'd ever do. Always always keep me in your heart okay.. and you deserve it all..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EIRZREEN

Valetine's Week is still on, i'm still lovey dovey, goofing over my friends and my new fling! Heheee.. so i'm dedicating the next few posts to my loved ones!!

.Stella.

is she, who tastes like ice-cream,

who melts when she sees Charles & Keith,

who freezes when she meets her friends,

who drips when she has to go to work..

.Stella.

is whom you call when you need a ride,

who rides with you all day and all night,

who freaks out when she sees nipah trees,

who's got no sense of direction, hmm maybe a little bit..

.Stella.

is my manircure mate,

my shoulder, my laughter,

my cry, my fight partner,

my fun, my movie date,

who shares everything, give and take..

.Stella.

is she, whom i care for,

whom i think of everyday,

she, who i miss and wish to see again,

Stella, my colors, my best friend...

The Bangsawan Aftermath

What a night, of high intense emotions rushing through thin air, and the anticipation of all Houses waiting for the result of their masterpieces.... A night of anxiety, a night when it all ends, a night where i've put my best effort in, and a night that changes my life...

I'm sure that all the Houses have their problems, but the next few paragraphs, i am going to bore/share with you what i've felt, what i've seen, what i've done, and what i've failed to do...

.. As the Head of Backdrop -

Words can never ever ever ever express what i feel as the Head of Backdrop, but as means of description, i'll try to type one by one what i've been through..

Clueless, as i am, i didnt know what to do. I was told that i need to buy cloth, draw and paint a new backdrop then figure ways to hang the backdrop on the night. So i did bought cloth, sew them together then drew and painted it - of course with help!

Others doubt me, saying , " Sempat ke Jo?" or " Baru nak start ke??". The timid me just smiled and walked away. Because i was confident that we can finish it in due time, and that i believe that Garnetors will come and help. I was right, we DID finish it in the end! And i was soooo GLAD - that the backdrop is beautiful. Though the colors were not really what i'd imagine it to be, but it MADE a pretty good backdrop for the play. I was soo proud of it, so proud of Bangbil and all the other Garnetors who helped. I know i didnt do much, but i soo damn proud that the Garnetors were able to finish it, way before the Bangsawan.

Just before i could give myself a pat on the back, news came, saying that we're gonna use the OLD backdrop - the one we used last year, and the previous year. I was stunned. It's like 5 different feelings going through your head at the same time. I was soo blur, and since there's only minutes to the rehearsal, i went on with it - yes, using the OLD one. I was crushed. I felt sooo bad, and stupid, and wasted...

Just as i've predicted, some Guniors came and cried. They wanted an explanation, i was unable to give one myself, but i told them what i have been told, and that i was terribly sorry. Indeed, i was really really reallly reallly sorry. Of course, all those who've helped were expecting to see the NEW backdrop on, but then in the final hour, the OLD one was used. Who wouldnt feel wasted? Who wouldnt? I felt soo bad and stupid. If i could, i would give back all the time and effort the Garnetors gave towards completing the backdrop.

But too bad, i was just a mere useless mortal, incapable of doing anything right. I know it's not fair and i know that whatever i say its not gonna take the guilt away. So i decided to see Mr D the next day, the day of Bangsawan itself, but instead i got a message saying ".. it's hard to please everyone... ' that i am to decide on whether we're using the old or the new one.

Why? Why? Why tell me the change of plan, and then now shifting the responsibility of being the 'bad guy' to me? So now it's up to me to decide, and if i decide to use the OLD backdrop, it would be my FAULT?? But i kept all my emotions deep in me for another day. I know this wasnt a solution, crying over it isnt gonna solve anything.

I gave it a long thought and pointed out the 'Greater Good'. If this is for the 'Greater Good' or Garnet, i will become the bad guy, i'll take the dive.. Then came another message saying that i can use the NEW backdrop if i can make it the same size as the old one... Hahahahaah yea right, like i have cloth and paint now and sew it back, then i can use it.. Hahahaaa.. isnt it a bit too late for that now?

Thank goodness, the rest of Garnet made it all easier for me. They told me "it's okay, Jo".. i felt sooo relieved. Though i know deep down in their heavy hearts,they were unsatisfied and probably felt PISSED, i thank them soo sooo much!!! I want all of them to know that their efforts are not wasted, as long as the backdrops still exists. The backdrop stays a backdrop, but in my heart, their efforts are gold, and i will always remember that each and every one of them helped made this happen.

It really felt like, i didnt do anything at all. And that i let everyone down. I know i dont have to feel this way, but it's just my nature to keep things deep inside my heart, until it breaks me one day ( though it did break me in the middle of it all... ).

Though we didnt use the NEW backdrop this year, i appreciate and i thank every single of them who helped with the backdrop. I am terribly sorry for what happened, i know i failed you, but let this be known, that it was never my intention to waste the effort, and that once again, i am sorry. This is a lesson learnt the hard way...

....

- I cried.. -

Most of you didnt know, but yes, Jojo cried okay... C-R-I-E-D... not like a baby but tears came rolling down.. It was the rehearsal day. Several events that lead me to it..

- lack of sleep and rest

- Change of plan - OLD & NEW backdrop

- complains

- pressure from others

- my inefficiency

- the guilt

- my inability to help Oggy

- my own self

Sorry to say, but i was sooo confused and crushed that day. SOo much things happened and i just accumulated all of them inside me. Then it just came bursting out. I've been holding it as long as i could, but that night, DAMN, i couldnt help it. I ran to the toilet, and cried my ass out. Not to mention, my nose was bleeding like hell, running like pipe water... but after a while, i made myself stop. then slowly, i went out, then i felt soo hollow...

- My Time & Effort -

Staying up late, painting, sticking, cutting and crafting things are not a problem. I know that someone had to do it, so most of us girls gave up our sleeping time to make it happen for Garnet. And i trust that every one of us have no regrets - hey, we won Best Props wad...

Just to show the Guniors that if you really set your mind to something, you can make it happen. Even when it involves no sleep at all... heheee.. no laa.. it wasnt that bad, kan seniors?? *giggles

- The Winning Moment -

What really made it all worth it, was when we won Best Props.... It kinda showed me that all i did - skipping classes to buy cloth, carrying heavy spraypaints and poster colors through the busy streets of KL, making others cry, making myself feel like a fool, staying up late to do Props, and all that stuff ... was really worth it. I was soooo happy and glad that we won Best Props. Prooves that our Props memang gempak laa.. hahahha

- To Oggy -

I know that i can never say this to you personally... i tend to forget what i wanna say..

AS a leader, i adore you sooo much. You're soo cool, and soo chill. And you're so creative.. You're the best Housecap ever!! I'm just soo sorry i was unable to help you, or even to assist you. You may have ur "emo" moments at times - hey, who doesnt, you're handling one of the hardest, most vital section in Bangsawan tau, but you always manage to pull out a smile somehow.

I feel so bad when i cant get the backdrop up, of which of course is my responsibility and that you need to find time and crack ur head about it. I feel so guilty when you tried so hard to get the backdrop up, and that I was unable to pull the string, and get the backdrop straight. I feel so duuh, when you can act and tie the string damn fast, and that you'd always have to pull your sour face and come help my side - i cant tie it fast even, i cant even tie a perfect knot. I feel so useless, staring at you, when you're doing all the work, and that i can just sit and stare. I'm not afraid of you or whatever. Just that, i want you to know that you did a really really great job!!

I felt that i let you down, Oggy. And i know that i did. I'm sorry i was inefficient, slow and duuh. I tried my very best, but still i cant keep up with you. So i'm sooo sorry Oggy....

Still, putting matters aside, we're still gonna work together for the yearbook. I really really hope that i can straighten things out, and make this Yearbook GEMPAK giler!!! I know you can do it, and i will try as hard as i can, to keep up with you...

To sum everything up, this Bangsawan is really an eye opening experience for me. I've learnt so much through the course of organizing and making it happen. I'm happy to be a part of it, and i'd like to express my deepest gratitude to ALL WHO's HELPED GARNET, in making this Bangsawan happen. I'm soo glad it's over, and i cant wait to get back to my studies..

so cute la this pic... i like the crab!

To juniors, learn from the seniors, and i know that you're an amazing batch! So next year,

GEMPAKKANLAH LAGI BANGSAWAN GARNET, yea!!!!!

An Imaginary Friend
i came across this in deviantart... (together with the pic)

everyone has an imaginary friend.
a friend that follows us everywhere.
a voice in our head that helps us in difficult moments.
a real friend.
a friend that will never betray you.

And at that instant, i heard myself.....
The past does not equal the future, what happens tomorrow depends on what i do now...

YESHH!!!! M-O-T-I-V-A-T-E M-E!!!

Where?

2009-01-20T08:58:00.004+08:00

Hey there, it's been a while..

I'm not gonna lie, these past few weeks hasnt been doing me any good.. sighs.. Pressured by the fact that there's Bangsawan, then there's studies, and maths, and DoE and Chinese New Year and what? My results are coming out tomorrow??? Man, time flies.... before i know it, i'm already in my last semester this year.... How Time flies..

I dont like to procrastinate, but truth speaks, sometimes things get out of hand, and i make excuses of them... to shove some of the weakness.. some of the defects, some of the pain, the pressure, the loneliness.. i give in easily to games, chats, entertainment, sharing, helping, organizing, and all sorts of other things to do ..

And yet here i am, sitting in the rc, blogging.. hahahhaah, maybe it hasnt hit me hard enough yet, but NO, i dont want that, i dont want to change, i want to IMPROVE! i dont want to be nerdy and studious, 24/7 on books, i dont want to miss hanging out with my friends, owh such great friends they are, i dont want to be KiaSu, though i know THAT's what i really need to do now.. BUT i DONT.. sighs, .... ...

....

so here's what im doing for now, i'm gonna live my life to the fullest, make the best out of it, in my own way... somehow... i know i can do it... i do... Now Doe's gone, and CNY is just around the corner.. this is my time to grasp myself together.. wow, that felt soo much better! it's always good to share your thoughts.. hehee..

Where?

Should i go?

Here?

There?

I dont know...

Where?

Should i be?

Up high?

Down under?

Maybe...

Where?

Should i stand?

In the middle?

At the back?

Or just far far away..

Where?

Should i start?

Right now?

This instant?

or Never ever ever??

Where?

I decide!

.A New Year.

2009-01-05T00:23:00.002+08:00

A new year,
A new revelation,
Good time reappears,
To this new sensation.

A new year,
An old story ending,
With old childhood fear,
The new year's pending,

A new year,
Slow, steady and great,
Joyful blessings near,
Laughter awaits.

A new year,
Nothing but promising,
A new year,
Nothing but a new beginning.

A new year, nothing but a new beginning...

Yes, and that is my 'theme' for this year. It's a brand new beginning, another chance for me...

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everybody, this would be my last post this term at home, so the next one would be in college... sigh.. my flight's tmrw 1.55 pm.. Cant wait!!! Im out!

.2009 - a remark.

2009-01-03T00:12:00.006+08:00

Dear 2009,

Hey, wassup? i hope things are fine regardless that you're new in town. Welcome by the way, welcome to this life, the life of joanna.

Well, joanna's life is pretty much simple. she eats, she sleeps, she goes to college, she hangs out with her friends and she watches lots and lots of tv. Her needs are simple, she doesnt smoke, she's nice and she's happy.

But recently as 2008 passed, she had a sense of realization in her. A little scary, taunting, but yet it opened her eyes, and made it all clear.... She told me this just today, but i think i might share it with you, since you're new and i really think it would do you good!

What she told me today, was about her friends... She has loooots of friends, all over Malaysia, from primary school to college and they all come in different shapes and sizes, and colorful personalities!

She has 'BFF' friends... The ones where she'd pour her feelings out to. The ones who'd comfort her when she's sad. Ones who hang out with her, and know all about her life, what's going on and stuff. Ones who she can depend on, ones whom she trusts, believes and loves. These are the ones that she loves most, and she cared about them deeply in her heart.

She has 'BF' friends... Ones who she'll hang out most with. Ones who basically know her inside out, understand her character, and doesnt mind much about who's paying the bill. Ones who she can be honest with, ones who will teach her new things, and tell her jokes. These are the ones she adores, she loves, and she wants to cling on to them for life...

She has close friends... The ones whom she'd go out with, for drinks and shopping. Ones whose presents' she'd share. Ones who make her laugh and nice to chat with. Ones whom she gossips with, and do crazy stuff together. These are the ones that she treasures, and appreciate gratefully...

She has hee-hee friends.. The ones whom she'd say 'hi' to if they met her/vice versa. Ones who smile when she sees them. Ones who will greet her, and ask her about her life. Ones who will message her sometimes, to tell her what's up, and who would stop by her blog just to catch up on stuff. These are the ones that kept her connected, and she'd have them close to her heart, all the time.

On the contrary, she also has friends who are mean to her. Friends who doesnt give a damn about her. Friends who backstab her. Friends who annoysher, and dissapoint her all the time. Friends who'd make her angry and wouldnt apologise. Friends who'd tell other friends about her secrets. Friends who'd critique her friends, friends who are rude and behave unnormally, friends who dont listen, dont bother and selfishly a hypocrite of themselves - trying to help joanna but actually making her life harder.

Yeah, i know, joanna's been through a lot eh? But, dont worry, she's strong. She appreciates all her FRIENDS! Even when they're against her, hate her, despise her, left her alone... she still keeps them as FRIENDS... She might not always make the right move or decision, but in her mind, she's always hoping for the best. And she loves every single one of her friends - no matter where or who they are..

Well 2009, i hope you're impressed. Joanna's a really nice person, and i hope you can make wonders in her life. She's making some major changes in her life now - kinda like renovating her own space, starting with her friends. So, please support her in the best way you can. I know this is a big favor to ask, but she really needs the faith..

Please, 2009, wont you be a great for her???

Sincerely,
Me...

p/s: only i know where my friends stand in my heart. *for some of you...Dont be surprised! Tehee!

.NewYear'sEve.

2009-01-01T02:39:00.013+08:00

2008-12-31T00:06:00.002+08:00

The darkest hour has finally passed...

For days, i've been working day and night on my application (US), and finally i managed to finish everything today.. I've been warned by soo many people, that the application process is tough and tedious, i did take their advices, but still, i can feel the strain and stress of completing it..

It's like, even though you have your essays ready, but you feel 'tak puas hati' to submit it... such a negative feeling.. and when you sleep, you can even dream of submitting/completing your app.. Man, it's such a burden to carry..

So many restless nights, so many never ending passages... finally, i may have a piece of mind...

It's over now, or is it not? I dont know, but i gave my best... now, i am going to rest... And plan my party.. hohohoooo*** excites

Today.. 22.12.08

2008-12-23T00:25:00.006+08:00

22 December 08... is a day that i will not forget, soo many things happened just in one day.. whoa.. so far, i think this is the most memorable day of my hols.. good things and bad things..

First in line, was Stel's car accident - of course, with me in her car at that time..

The chronology of events...

went to spring with stel for christmas shopping

clock struck 12 pm, time to go ...

went out, turn to 3rd mile roundabout *near sunway

stel was looking at car coming from her right

kancil in front moved

stel stepped on the acc. car went vroom

i turned in front and the kancil braked!! i warned stel, stel hit the brakes!

2 seconds later, BANG! We were hit!

Wira at the back drove to the side - so did we

Stel called her dad *who arrived moments later - WiraGuy called mechanic, stel's dad called mechanic... everyone was on their cell

SETTLES * i went back, stel went to work... W-O-W!

the damage done...

stel's bumper was dislocated.. one of the lights was broken..

the poor Wira... was hit.. mann... i hope he has insurance...

Lesson learnt,
~ always be EXTRA careful at the roundabout..
~ kuching people are soo kepoh... *they like to stop and stare at accidents
~ dont eat and drive at the same time
~ i think we should all buy 4d/toto/magnum/etc... stel's car num..

Aside from all the BAD news this morning, wait, i meant yesterday morning.. there was good news going on for me too!

i bought a jet plane (*fighter jet) pendant from vincci

we got 3 free gifts from vincci! Whee!! Mysterious, odd looking bunny and cat.. ~meow..

And of course, i decided to paint the front wall in my house.. Well, having the accident wasnt that all shocking and extremely traumatizing! Besides, my sis and i are bored so we decided to paint our house!!

my dad mixing the paint... Fern green!

bye bye empty ugly plain wall..

preparations for the painting..... just a roller and a roller plate..

and we paint, paint, paint as we listen to the HAPPY WORKING SONG!!

the aftermath!! not the finish yet, it's still drying up... Fern Green HELLO!!

me.. trying to strike a pose, while painting.. hey what you DONT SEE in the pic, is the stentch, the mess, the sweat and the HARDWORK!!.. but ghee.. im still smiling...

I was dead tired after painting so i went to sleep ... until 6.. helped my aunt at her kolo mee stall at 3rd mile hawker stall - where i saw goc.... then back...

my mum asked me to wrap a gift for her friend's son.. Still tired, i took a pair of scissors, tape and ribbons, and tadaaa! Magnifeito!! me likes** i wish i can have it for my christmas gift! it's so preetty... i like what i create!!

it's actually like 10 x 12 inches.. 3 m of ribbon.. man that's one lucky guy ..

i still have the time to show off my new shoe! bought at nose@spring... RM 26 ONLY!!!

and currently my most prized possession.. my baby nephew: KENJI!!

he is such a darling.... AWWW!!

Gosh, it's like nearly 2 now.. and my eyes are shutting.. urgh... so much happened today, and now, im still trying to consume everything in for tomorrow.. sighs... tomorrow will be a better day.. i just know it..

*Stel&Jo went to Spring,
Stel&Jo went for shopping,
Stel&Jo got in the car,
Stel&Jo got hit by Wira,

Stel&Jo didnt know what to do,
Stel&Jo saw the man coming, Bohoo!
Stel&Jo called Stel's dad,
Stel&Jo settled, and that was a wrap,

Still confused, Stel&Jo went back and pray,
Stel&Jo hope that tomorrow's a better day..

Goodnight everyone. Im out!

.CleaningUp.

2008-12-18T23:31:00.007+08:00

Been cleaning up my room for the past 2 days, it's very messy and all stuck to one place, hated it, i needed a new look, so me and my sis moved some furnitures around and tadaa!! New LOOK! at least in this condition, i can have my friends in my room! HEE,, it looks bigger and brighter, more comfy... love the new look.. yays!

the new look!! still needs more tidying .. gonna do it tomorrow!

me and stella, trying not to sleep... ZzzZzz... tehee!

Congrats to stel, for getting a job at Guardian Boulevard.. hahah soo all you people out there, you know where to find her!! Wohoo! im soo asking her to belanja when she gets her first pay check! Hell Yeah!!

im leaving you with this.. one of my personal fav...

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begin

Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The night of wonder

BusyDays

2008-12-16T23:20:00.002+08:00

Phew, sorry for the lack of update, it's been pretty wild and busy for me this week, i even forgotten how time flew so quickly.. Anyways, a bit of everything..

i attended the MPYO's east Malaysia Tour' 08 at Dewan Santapan, Dewan Undangan Negeri, on the 12th Dec, Friday.. RM50 ticket!! The place was awesome, fancy, and freaking cold...

quite a crowd all, in smart attires.. fancy place i'd say...

the orchestra, we were not suppose to record anything from the performance, as told - this includes photography..

Overall, i'd say the MPYO was spendid, well conducted and OMFG, those youths can play like Pros, BUT... *the catch, haha*, for me, it wasnt worth all the money... i mean Rm 50, you can eat like 20 packets of kolo mee (Rm 2.50 each), or catch a movie like 5 times?? (Rm 10 each), for 103 minutes, sitting down and listening to classics.. wow,i just cant believe i endured that... im amazed myself..

the funny thing is, you dont notice how time flies when you're actually 'disgesting' the whole perfomance. They played, "Overture:Roman Carnival Op 9" by Hector Berlioz, "Cello Concerti in B minor Op 104" by Antonin Dvorak, and "Symphony No 2 in C minor Op 17 - Little Russian" by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

WELL.. i must say, i'm very very impressed that Malaysia has their Youth Symphonic Orchestra so steady and well conducted, and i believe that they're the best in our country.. with all the youth and all.. - Bravo** throws roses...

Moving on to today, i went out with stel, to look for the MINEX FINDER"S KEEPERS TREASURE HUNT .. haa... MINEX is suddenly feeling generous and giving out free diamonds to whoever's free to look for it! today's clue was hard though.. but it aint keeping us from looking for it. *fingers crossed*

After that, was an afternoon at the Spring's - haha giving shaun a makeover.. haha not really a FULL makeover, but we thought, it was about time, we'd give him something for his birthday soon, AND we wanted him to do it for himself, not that we're forcing him to do it because of us or something.. geez, i'd like to post some pictures here but .. hm.... convince me to do that.. hehe.. it was FUN FUN FUN!! Owh yea, we met row, g chan, tiff, rach, kelvin c, jem, trac, and emily v there too at nose. hahah.. whee

Later that day, was another trip to the cineplex *condemned place now.. because of renovation* where we watched TWLIGHT AGAIN!!! WHEEE>. *drools.. with Geral O, stel and stel's sis : Jasmine.. heheee.. FUN FUN FUN... Before we ended our night, once again, we circled jln kereta api again, in search for the diamond, but no LOOT!!! Sighs... maybe tomorrow's our day.. hehee..

oo this is a card i made for a special someone.. hehee.. nice lerr.. if you want to order it.. email me, perhaps i would consider making it too.. i can customize it if you want me to.. i hope this pleases her.. *giggles*

Im back!!! Been very very free lately, so this post is a two-some!! 2 in one!

Today...

it all started out as a plan to go swimming with stella.. As promised, she came around at 8.25 to pick me up for swimming at MBKS swimming pool. When we actually reached there, it was closed, "Swimming pool buka pukul 2 la.. " .. Fine, then we decided to drive all the way to stampark - BDC. The wheather was fine, windy, not hot ... we landed, parked and got out of the car. Then to the notice board. Goodie! It's open from 9 till 11.30, great.. suddenly a voice from afar..

"Eh, miss you swimming??"
"Err... yeah... "
"Sorry la miss, today the contractor is renovating the cafe at the pool.. sorry la.. "
"Er.. really?? Does it take long?"
"It should be done by this evening lah.. But it's a last minute infrom, so sorry.."

*yeah right, like you can trust a contractor...

Right, with long faces, we left the place and ended up at the road going to tabuan.. We were supposed to go to Kuching Specialist Centre (KSP) *stella's errand.. Somehow this alluring road from the other side of the roundabout drew us into another stream called 'Stutong Baru' - like idiots,we went in, and went on with it.. It was like a 10 minutes drive from the main road when we realised that we were actually LOST!! DEAD LOST!! Houses all over with numerical lorongs all not in order!! And the road leads wayyyyyyy into the unknown area. HELP US!!

From the sight of Nipah trees, Stella freaked, i was speechless... i didnt know where we were. wished i knew, but hey I DONT KNOW WHERE THE HELL WE ARE!! We panicked for like 3 minutes in the car, as each nipah tree passed us, eventually towards a small road with a contruction site at the end.. ZOMG!! We made a u turn, and started retracking.. all the way back.. going pass all the nipah trees.. SCARY!!!

ABout 20 minutes later, we were back at the roundabout, OUT FROM THE LOST WORLD!!! FINALLY, THANK HEAVENS!! We chose another path that *we were supposed to go to earlier on* and landed on KSP!! Yays! Got breakfast, then to the hospital where we searched aimlessly for stella's grannies which later, we found out were not there anymore.. Sighs.. then to Mita, where stel bought blueberry and pandan cake for her grannies... -_-!!

i got back to my house to pick up a few stuff, as stel drove to her grannies's house.. then she came back to pick me up and then back to her house as we waited for the pool to reopen at 2 pm. And as MSN's wheather forecast predicted, it actually RAINED at 2 pm.. so we waited for a while more, then at 3.. the sky was cleared, a sign!! Got in the car, to MBKS swimming pool.. and we had a good swim! Sayang, no cute guys, only annoying ones, trying to show off.. -_-!!

After a good swim, we went to eat at Hong Kong noodles house.. haha.. and that was a WRAP!!

Points to remember;
- always bring googles when swimming -_-!
- always be ready for an adventure when spending a day with stella
- always plan ahead before any outing with stella
- stella has nipahobophobia (fear of nipah trees!)

- any day with stella is a looong day!! hehee

But i enjoyed today pretty much, swimming, eating, adventuring and talking! Spending time with Stel is soo much fun!

**************

Okay i think i over-typed this post, so the next one, is only pictures and tags..

It has been a week, since i crashed here, back in my lair, with free internet access and food all convenient for me to grab. Wasted.

Anyhow, i managed to do myself good today! Today like any other day, i woke up early because i promised letha to meet her up to transfer files (yes, stella we're trading ~~porno~~ movies!!

Anyway, we made a deal to meet at 7.30 at some dim sum shop at jln padungan. Sadly i was there too early, and letha came late. But no biggie, i'm used to waiting...

Then we headed on over to Chillipeppers at Swinburn (because letha's sis is taking her exams) and wi-fied.. (i didnt, but letha did) at the cafe till 11 something. Stel, messaged and we met up for lunch at Secret Rep. talked.. talked... talked... before sending letha off to Clover Cafe at ang cheng ho.. of which we got lost in the first part of getting there.

After that, me and stel went to Crown Plaza, then to an ipod store in travilion, where we almost got hit by a white car?? DAMNIT! Then to boulevard!

my 'cleaned' desktop

As for the part where i did myself good, i figured..

1) I bought 2 books : "Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments" & "The Origin of Brands"

2) I got stella lost on the way to ang cheng ho - proves im human after all, not a GPS machine

3) I helped stel to do her groceries shopping

4) I ate sheperd pie.. yummie!

5) I cleaned up my desktop

6) I wished my sis "Happy Birthday"

7) I gave a thought about my application

8) I caught up with letha and stel

9) I wished stel Good Luck for her PA

10) I watched 'Another Cinderalla Story' and cried on Oprah.. zomg, not CRY out loud, just a tear

Just for knickers...

i saw this woman, with a bright pink t-shirt, and her 'ENORMOUS' boobs poping out of her small stature, and imprinted just below her busts, was "TRY ME" ..

zomg... what's happening to Kuching people nowadays?

.BreakfastWithStel&Karen.

2008-11-28T21:16:00.003+08:00

Yays!! I've been back in Kuching for a while now, and im enjoying every second of it! Owh yea, Ching and May & Tim, came from KL to Kuching!! I spent 2 days with them, yesterday, i followed them eating then to Bing! for a cup of coffee and play cards. Lots of laughter, and i learnt that GD = Go Die.. thanks Corny, for the new vocab. It shall remain in my head now, as i intend to use it from time to time.. haha

Talking about today, OMG today.. mann... i hung out with stel yesterday night, to catch twilight - (damn romantic moovie... hugs.. loves..) then she sent me back. The proposed plan was to catch breakfast with Karen the next day, 7.30, because Karen needs to work at 9... Hahaaa... So it was said.. but not done..

Stella, apparantly, my ever-not-so-punctual friend, overslept, and came late. She arrived at my house at 8.15.. and we made Karen waited for an hour. Sowee Karen** She was squating outing her house.. damn cute..

Then we went to Mitsu Tea House at BDC roundabout, to eat breakfast!! Chinese style - Dimsum!! Yays..

the red-bean pau we ordered, in shape of piggies!! Kawaii!

pau, char-kuey, and loh-ma-kai.. of some of the things we ordered..

We ordered quite a lot there actually, not just this, but i didnt take pictures because we were chatting away.. hehee After breakfast, was time to send Karen to work!!

Haha. And after that, i made Stel my official driver of the day.. muahahha. So both of us, went to the famous laksa shop - near Grand Continental Hotel, and met up with Ching, May, Tim, Corny, and Ting!! Yays.. They ate laksa - while we're still disgesting our dimsums... Then we head on over to the Bazaar. I got postcards for Izzie and Shahir!! Then after that to Spring!!

Final destination Kim Lai Heng, cafe... Now that's what i called a day. Apologies and thanks to Stella for becoming my driver... Love ya, always will.. Muaks..

And to Ching, May & Tim, have a nice and safe flight.. Hope you like it here and come back to Kuching soon!

p.s: Sorry, i very malas to give full details.. sorry.. watching 90210!! Soooo lovin it!! Ciao!

.Driving.

2008-11-25T19:43:00.003+08:00

Finally after all these months, waiting, and waiting...

i'm enrolled for Driving Lessons!! Wheee.. which, in other words, mean, I"M LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE!!

i attended the 5 hours KPP thingy last sunday.. *pheww.. so now i've got to pass my table test! Wish me luck!

??6.5??

2008-11-11T08:41:00.004+08:00

Hey there, before i say anything else, i need to complain.. yes it's about the IELTS test which i did on SAturday, 8th Nov...

It was a finee day, as we (Petronas scholars) raced the sun to get to idp Subang. Little did we know that the actual exam starts at 9 am.. So we waited for freakin 2 hours... **grrr My test was at Taylor's Business School because idp is full.

Written exam was first; Listening, reading, writing... Listening was okay. reading was okay, Writing was okay; Fashion is becoming more and more important in peoples' lives today. Why? Discuss the positive or negative development.... Not until after that day did i notice that i didnt answer the WHY part of the question. All i gave was positive develpoment of FASHION and a little criticism. Anyway, i think i did okay..

Then after that, we ( me, that, pchk) were lucky enough to meet Georgie!! - exclass mate from St 3! We had lunch at a mamak nearby - sorta.. cheap good food.. and then went all the wayy back to idp for our speaking test. Now, the golden moment...

It's the last test for the day, so what the heck.. It was Luqman's turn, then Letha, then me... moment of truth.. while letha was at it.. i can see the examiner.. old, cold.. withered little lady in her 50's.. no biggie, i thought.. When letha got out ( it felt like ages), MY TURN!! So i played it cool, knocked, came in and sat down... She called my name, and started to click her little device and recorded every single thing i said.. mann!!

She asked me a few questions about myself, so i answered.

"This is candidate no 00989dsjhfksh, Joanna. First, i would like to ask you a few questions about yourself. Can you tell me your full name and .... "
"My name is Joanna.... "

Section 2: Art, that was my topic, full of crappy stuff... Section 3: Teenagers.. Well it wasnt that hard, but you kno what the weird part is, she doesnt help you out, she doesnt give you comments or feedback. So she's like MACHINE... a DEAD SILENT MACHINE, dude.. that was like soo turning me off damnit.. When it ended, i was soo blurred out, because of all the crappiness and tension inside the room. I mean, talking to a wall is soo weird. then i went out and picked up my stuff and there just happen to be this Arabi dude.. who came next to me and said,

" Congratulations... you got a 6.5..."
"WTF... 6.5???.."

For the crappiest 10 minutes of my life, and all i got was a 6.5?? !*^&(!*&^&*#. Man. after that i went ballistic!! My head was wayy out from my body, my mouth was blabbering non stop about the crappiness.. and URGH!! The tension, the stupidity, the humuliation!!! 6.5 out of 9.0?? damnit man.. damnit damnit...... curses...

I went back that day, down and all.. But i gave it all a thought..
- i cant possibly get 6.5 imagine what the other people might get..
- it could be an 8.5, because 6 and 8 have curves...
- it might not be my score
- why am i trusting an Arabi??? -_-!!

URGH.. WHY???? But overall i think i did okay.. so.. what the heck, i better believe in myself more..

2008-10-28T19:26:00.006+08:00

Not too long ago, i was asked by a good friend..

"Eh, what are the types of student in your college ar?"

It didnt take me long to answer his question. I instantly saw answers blogging inside my head.. But instead of blurping out what i thought would answer his question, i asked..

".. You mean, categorizing generally? Or through sponsor? course?.."

2008-10-26T16:24:00.004+08:00

This is what i drew in English class!!! We were asked a few questions..

1) How do people communicate 20 years ago?
2) How do people communicate now?
3) Do you think cell phones are a blessing?
4) Why is communication important to us?

It was, me, letha, aa, adrian and attiyaa in a group. Instead of writing pages long of words, we decided (more like i volunteered to draw), to illustrate our answers!!!

Check it out!

But then, aa presented and Ms Susan liked it! Yays (hi-5 to all team mates. Wohoo!)

This is what i encountered today in Tanjong Malim...

Mann, would you look at that... it's like chinese locks 20 years ago.. where old people use to lock their shops and houses... mann, steel bar, hammered on a piece of wood, then sealed from the inside!! damn cool!! i rarely see these in town, not even in Kuching!

I know im being lame and 'sakai' here, im sure y'all seen this thing before... but...
Imagine all the things they do with people behind these doors...

Torture!!!

Sex!!!

Rape!!!

Piracy!!!

Illegal Gambling!!

Drug Distribution!!!

Damn.. my imagination's gone wild again.. phew... im done with thinking here. what say you?

.talking.

2008-10-24T20:02:00.002+08:00

chatter chatter chatter

cant we go on without a day of talking??

perhaps yes, perhaps no,

perhaps maybe, perhaps not too sure,

chatter chatter chatter,

will we ever ever stop?

we talk, we whisper,

we scream, we answer,

we ask, we discuss,

we tell, & we gossip,

chatter chatter chatter...

i cant stop, but to chatter!

Hehe, i really cant imagine a day without talking! We talk everyday, sometimes offensive, sometimes to cheer your friends up, sometimes to discuss, sometimes to ask, and we do it everyday!!! Being an optimist (well, i can say im at least 25%) - talking connects people! and we negotiate, we tell, we answer, we ask, we lie, we bicker, we yell, we blurp, we burb, we just blab all those nonsense/information/crap/facts out from our mouth!! And thus makes this world, an either better/worse place.. You choose!

.boredom.

2008-10-23T15:43:00.004+08:00

there are infinite numbers of ways where one can define boredom. And yet, there are infinite ways to break free from boredom as well..

Yes, dear viewers, i am now bored! After been through a harsh week, say ( M1 Monday, P3 Wed and Chem practical today!! ), i'm just breaking my leg, and taking a break from all the studies and hushies!! Though, the chem practical was sorta cool.. getting GREEN precipitate, where i thought was blue and it defnitely looked blue to me.. and burning stuff, calculating stuff etc etc.. it was damn hot and my safety specs broke! so i had to hang it lose at my ear, before i eventually complained and got another one.. hehe

Owh yea, there was a kind lady, all the way from LeHigh University. Miss Laura Severin, who came and gave us a talk about Lehigh University. She was nice and welcoming, (she sounded like an IELTS listening test, recorded) but she was very very kind in letting us know about Lehigh! hehee.. should i consider this in my university list? hmm perhaps..

Well, that wraps up about today, cept that i just did my laundry and wasted like 1/2 hour trying to book my flight.. arghh! Time waits for no man!.. i better get some things done here, or at least, a little nap. Tuurrah! I think i'll blog about something funny or interesting next post.. this is getting a bit too personal and emo.. Hehee Stay tune!

PEaceOUt,
Jo

.toughday.

2008-10-21T00:30:00.002+08:00

First of all, before i start off anything, 'Happy Birthday Sugi!' - hope you like your pressie!

Well, things have been swell... cept that fact that im hiding from the truth. You know sometimes, when we just brag or lie or cheat just to make ourselves feel better, this is definitely one of those times. I cant really say im okay or i'm not busy because in fact i REALLY am, and more than ever, i wish i could purchase time... even for just a few more hours, minutes...

we can never go back to where we once were, perhaps we might learn from our mistakes, and pay it forward, or just take another route in the future. Likewise, like my mechanics paper today. Personally, i think it was the toughest paper ever, but if i were to do it twice, i think i'll do okay. It's just the mindset, that we're doing a test... an exam.. that one thing makes the difference.

The other day, just had one of the unluckiest day ever! i stepped on gum, then my burger got infested with ants, then i found a dead FLY in my drink, damn disgusting.. soo gonna detox my self after this and also.. NOT GONNA DRINK CAFE MADE DRINKS!!! Also, i got M&Ms... which, as said and posted by our government, contains melamine.. SIGH...

But as i said, 'mindset' really important, so for all you who's doing an interview with Oxbridge, all the best, and get your mind set right! I dont know what or who will interview you, but just stay cool, calm and smile.. Sleep too!! Hee.. i know im nobody to comment on this, but it's just a friendly, non-offensive reminder!

Studying now for another test on Wednesday and also Thursday .. Time's ticking joanna, time's ticking away.. fast....

.littlethingsido.

2008-10-13T13:29:00.003+08:00

little things i do...

i wake up and peek outside my window every morning..

i'll think to myself 'today's beautiful' before i go to class..

i look at the tap before i turn it on..

i think of flowers when i see the field..

i keep it low, when i feel insecure..

i make a smile, no matter how hard...

as each day passes by, i find more & more,
the littlest things i do each day.... hehee

.feelinghot.

2008-10-06T20:20:00.003+08:00

havent been well..

feeling sick..
but im alright!!

,BakingDay.

2008-10-04T14:35:00.002+08:00

Hehee, i'm heading back to college soon (this sunday.. tomorrow).. so i spent my second last day here baking cookies!! Whee !! A few days ago, Azri.. told me that he baked some raya cookies and named them 'Chocolate Blair' and 'Gossip Girl' cookies.. as a tribute, to GG, (he's a real fanatic).

Soo.. this time.. i've decided to name these babies that i've made.. ahaa

'Waldorf Wonders' - shortbread by jo

my creation.. muahhahaha.. let the invasion begin!

my lil 'W's in the tray baking hot..

the work station, just a small table actually, because my 'other' big table is used for something else..

we made garlic bread too.. yumm yumm.. tasty... Homemade Garlic Bread..

forgive my sis's fingers... it just so happen to get in the way... but these are heaven, unlike any other garlic bread you buy/eat in some fancy restaurant.. these are coated both sides.. with garlic butter, and cheeseee... BOTH sides... Yum..heaven...

and that's what i did, yesterday!!

.newlayout.

2008-09-25T15:37:00.007+08:00

here's to a new layout!! Hahaa it's not the usual 'typical' me-type of layout, but i want something cute & nice to look at for a while.. so this is it!

im still trying to work some things out here.. eg.. why there's soo much space below... i dont know why.. but still working it out.. bear with me viewers.. anyway, happy hols!

Most seniors are leaving/left already.. my best of wishes to them and i just know they're gonna have lots of fun overseas!! Whee!!
