Polishing my screws (huh?)

2010-12-19T11:18:00.000+08:00

ONE MORE PAPER BEFORE I CAN HAVE MY TEMPORARY FREEDOM.

So close, but already I felt like "AH~ I did enough! Chillax let's go eat banana...". For course, it's impossible to 'did' enough unless one claimed so.

Exams make me fat. Sigh.

And i missed dancing terribly. I have a whole playlist of new songs waiting for me to be choreographed to.

On a side note, I decided with 90% confidence that I will be a teacher in the future. The remaining 10% is just in case I changed my mind halfway my engineering course. But I felt more sense of fulfillment becoming a teacher.

Let's say if I were to be an engineer, and I have designed a new system that profits me gazillion brazillian dollars (it just rhymes), I think I might be happy and fulfilled for a while, before becoming lazy and fat and arrogant and saying "in-your-face" phrases to everyone (yes, I think I'm abit cocky when there's victory).

Whereas being a teacher, all I want to see is students growing up, students trying hard, students wanting to learn. I tried being a teacher before (for like two weeks and some Saturdays classes in my mom's school) and I know how difficult it is to being a just a teacher. But everytime they show their enthusiasm for something, it leaves an impact in me which lasts for like a long time, and I kinda like that feeling.

I hope my future is like what I pictured. I have been repainting my future for millions of times due to uncertainties. I hope that I do not need to repaint it for another million times.

Exams! Back to study. >.<

Dance Eat Sleep

2010-11-04T11:48:00.000+08:00

Aiks.

Choreo project was fun, where every week, there will be 4-5 people showing a choreography of their own after MJ junior class. I had mine last week, and I kinda feel disappointed with myself. So many things to improve on! Sigh. And during the course of choreographing, I realised I have many many ZILLIONS of weakness in dancing. Totally makes me wished I didn't started off freestyling first.

On another note, I finally got a chance to perform! I have my structured performance team aka SPT which we will be performing on 25 November. Woohoo! Miss being on stage. HAHA narcissistic I am.

And another exciting note, I'm sharing my choreo in MJ for the first time! Lolz! Exciting can! And also nervous. *shiver*

Alright, now back to Tech Comm project. And I think I should start studying.

*groan*

2010-10-29T22:33:00.000+08:00

oh gwad.

should i just ask her? or leave it as it is?

i don't know what to do.

2010-10-24T00:17:00.000+08:00

Wow, MJ Chalet is over!

And I finally got my first taste of battle!!! Woohoo!!! Never had such adrenaline rush before.

Everyone in the battle did a fanstatic job! Seriously, everyone should consider to join 1 vs 1 competitions outside NTU!

And yea, I think I got myself a new eye candy during the chalet. Shit I sounded like a girl, HOR~

Respect to all dancers in NTU! You guys just rox!

One Tonne Me very nice

2010-10-10T20:59:00.000+08:00

Schedule so tight!

My pants can't be any thighter than my schedule.

It's like, project mode at one moment, then next moment dance mode, then later study, and the vicious cycle keeps repeating.

By the way, Kangli's sharing session was very over-the-hill superb!! Very motivating dance and music as well! Although I don't cut out for her style, the dance feels very meaningful. And of course, can't wait for her to share her house! I mean her house technique. (house is a type of dance style, so don't look at me like that please)

The coming week will be like, "Oh, hi! Welcome back to HELL WAHAHAHA". Sigh. Have to skip some lectures to meet professors for project proposal. Please let me have a good supervisor for my project!

And now, back to my earphones listening to dance battle's songs (lots of it). Oh my goodness so exciting can! First dance battle of my life! NERVOUS UNTIL LEGS SHAKE ALREADY.

Nobody knows who I really am

2010-10-08T18:12:00.000+08:00

Admist the busy schedule, I need to pour out stuff that has been in my mind for a long time.

Sometimes I have to stop myself and ask: am I dancing for the right reasons?

In the past, dance was something very mystical and awesome. It's a magical phenomenon when someone steps out and dance. It makes people realised what life is all about. It's about inspiring others through your own movement. That was what it used to be in the past. That drives me to dance. Because others inspired me through the same way. And they expect me to do the same to others.

But recently I have to question myself.

Am I dancing for the right reason?

I felt like currently I'm dancing just to prove myself or everyone else something: that I'm good in dancing, that I deserve to get a hall next year, that I deserve to perform for events, that I just love dancing. Somehow this makes dancing so selfish and empty. Whatever I learn in HAD back then becomes nothing.

Have I forgotten my roots? Dance is suppose to be a passion, not a thing to prove.

I know this sounds deep. But it's deep enough to trouble me everyday.

Time to relearn my roots.

On the bright side, look down:

New shoes! Nice and cheap too. =D

2010-10-06T23:37:00.000+08:00

Wah Lao Weh.

A lot of things going on at the same time. And previously in my life I thought that I know what is multitasking.

In NTU, multitasking is like trying to juggle 5 balls, standing on one feet, the other feet playing Dance Dance Revolution, and attending a mass video conference. Not sure where I get these random ideas, but yeah you get the picture.

Another metaphor: it's like trying to show a middle finger to them, but your fingers are so busy with many other stuff.

Regretted telling off seniors last year: Why aren't you enthusiastic enough? Too busy?

I believe in karma. I'm so ready to be told off by my juniors. >.<

Thank goodness I have dance as the best distraction I have from this hellish life. So looking forward for any dance opportunities.

But these things in life is challenges I have to face! I have to overcome it! RWAR! =D

Good morning, Singapore~

2010-10-04T09:43:00.000+08:00

Another week has begun.

And so is the CAs. Two of it this week.

And beginning to dance more than studying.

And still looking up for new sneakers on the web.

And also decide whether to take up the ultimate position or not. (those out there who knows what I'm talking about, currently it's still a no >.<)

And still wondering why am I blogging now when classes start at 10.30am.

Can't touch this [cue music]

2010-10-01T22:52:00.000+08:00

Excited yet disgusted.

Tomorrow morning there will be a MJ sharing session by Apple. That's the exciting part. It's from 12pm to 1pm.

The disgusted part?

There will be water disruption in hall. Means no bath taking from 2pm to 6pm.

*gasp* This is totally serious shit. If I don't take bath for 4 hours, especially after a dance class, I will be no different from sewage filled with fertilizers.

Time to prepare the fragrance spray. Lots of it.

And pegs for my own nose.

Gently pick your nose, please

2010-09-28T22:49:00.000+08:00

Sigh.

How to understand Engineering Maths?!? Tomorrow is my lab session for convolution, and I believe it is the same experiment for my formal lab report. How to understand? At least Wikipedia give me some ideas what it is all about. (Who says Wikipedia is unreliable? They even include animations in explanation! Jakkun-ism here)

Exploding brain was pictured in my mind at this very moment.

Boohoo. I feel like a geek.

Sigh. Received lots of feedback about my dance, especially after Malaysian Night: you dance well, but YOUR FACE DON'T MATCH WITH YOUR DANCE. Arghhhh! Sad to have this geeky face. Plastic surgery? No way: can't afford to go dance classes still want facelift? Pftttt.

At least I have this element of surprise: "You don't believe I can dance?" and proceed doing a hand wave isolation. Cue stunned face from on-lookers and haha-in-your-face-with-my-face face (get it? 'in-your-face-with-my-face'? especially the 'my-face'? nevermind). Yes, I need some ego here 'cos I already lost it to my face. Sigh.

But please don't think that I dance to hide myself or my face. I love dancing for all I know.

Talking about dancing, Apple, Mac and Yoga had sharing sessions in Unific open classes which really, really made my week(s)! Looking forward for more of it! And hope that I pass the coming audition for Unific. (audition steps choreo-ed by Mel; omg confirm susah sia)

Yippee! Time to sleep early. Early bird catches the worm, and the always-overcrowded-at-the-wrong-time bus.

Banana unite, papaya all night~

2010-09-26T23:44:00.000+08:00

Yay, got myself new shoes!

note the snickering smile that goes 'nyek nyek'

This shoes is DAMN CHIO TO WEAR. So chio, I will not be wearing it often, unless under some circumstances e.g. impress others LOL VAIN (and kiam siat).

Malaysian Night is over! It is one great event, even with some minor hiccups (and a very boredom inducing emcee aka omg-don't-try-to-emcee-anymore me T.T) everyone got very high at the end. There's homemade advertisements (brilliantly made by Teck Hong), video drama (directed dramatically by Chee Wah), sketch show by seniors (directed by Andrew; superbly funny until choked on saliva) and dance performances (Quen Seng owned everybody hands down). I'm glad it ends with a high note.

And from now on, I shall not commit myself into MSA events. But I can still help in minor ways (e.g. logistic handling aka carrying stuff =P). Reason: I need a break! And also to give opportunities to freshies to hold events. ;D

Had a HW210 meeting next morning; had to drag myself out of bed. Luckily we have a great project team! Choon Yee, William, Joanne and Sheng En, you guys rocks! Sorry for making you all wake up so early for this meeting.

Had a super huge mega steamboat session with Dinar-ians (my OG in MSA FOC). And the superlatives is just an understatement. The ingredients the freshies bought from Sheng Siong, they intended to stuff us all and do frequent checks by holding our index finger, which later will come to a point where they will eat us up (refer to Hansel and Gretel story; be warned that it has a violent ending, for the witch that is). Thank you Kok Kin for organising the steamboat ala 24 game sessions ala karaoke!

Tomorrow night is Unific sharing session! Woohoo! When it comes to dance, I'm like omg-so-excited-bite-my-finger. But...

Sigh. My freestyling degrade in level a lot recently. No idea why, but everytime I tried, it's will be those shit-I-ain't-comfortable-with-this feeling. I need more random session in my own room! Ahhhhh~~

To my inner subconscious: What? Tutorials? Oh. Darn.

Great, bite me finger

2010-09-22T23:24:00.000+08:00

This week sounds exciting yo!

Tomorrow is NTU-MJ's audition, which I'm looking forward to! I want to see new faces, and fresh determination from those who are passionate in dance. It's really joyful to see somebody who just wants to dance, regardless of their skills. Hope that I don't embarrass myself by forgot steps. =P

This Saturday will be the Malaysian Night 2010! I'm gonna emcee for this event which will feature a lot of crazy stuff! Hope this event goes well! Hope I don't get tongue twisted at the wrong time. Hope that the crowd is enthusiastic. Hope that I don't offend anyone on stage. Hope that... Ahhhh!!

Got myself a new mini speakers and also earphones. Both doing very well. I named my mini speakers Minnie and my earphones Big Cow. Okay random I know.

Time to sleep early. Tomorrow 8.30am class. WAHLIAO. Can scream. Or shriek. Or agitated. Or exasperated (trying out words that I don't usually use in daily life, lolz; chim English FTW)

I'm joining the Bllion Onion Union

2010-09-19T14:42:00.002+08:00

Year 1 students' life in NTU:

Enjoying every moment of the totally new lifestyle and environment

Enthusiastic about almost everything around him/her

Having random sessions with friends: board games, card games, watching movies, and plain chatting

Year 2 students' life in NTU:

Moaning every moment of the totally mundane and routine lifestyle and environment

Wished that everything around him/her grow legs and walkaway

Randomness becomes a repetitive patterns, e.g. not random

Just a year goes by, and reality taught us that too much of good things can be a bad thing.

Life is like a box of chocolates. Eat too much of it and obesity will strike you, unwanted freckles will devour your face, and blood clot will be your whining in the future.

I finally realized how important is it to have a positive mindset. To survive in NTU is like playing a game of atoms: surrounded by electron clouds, you gotta have a lot of proton or else you are so gonna be a negative charged atom.

How to stay positive? I heard chocolates can stimulate the release of endorphin hormones, which can make you happy...

Wait, didn't I say having too much of it will cause blood clot?

Sigh.

Oh yes, I came across a YouTube video that says about digital drugs.

DIGITAL DRUGS? I-DOSING?!?!?

Apparently hearing the audio will induce the 'high' that those conventional drugs gives.

And the audio is available in Youtube. And so I tried listening to one.

WHAT THE FUCK DAMN GIDDY LEH JUST HEARING IN FEW SECONDS.

[I immidiately close my Firefox and stunned for few long minutes; it's like a nightmare]

Damn scary. Some claim that it is not dangerous yet the 'high' is there (imagine all the drug users go 'YAY' and the drug dealers go 'wtfbbq').

Why in the world do you want to mess up other people's brain?!?!

And as a engineer, I have no idea that there are some frequencies of sounds that can induce 'high' in our brain.

What is the world going into? Why do you need something to get high?!?

My advice to heavy drug users out there:

get yourself a chocolate bar.

And to any other readers out there:

STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS. Get yourself a chocolate bar.

Here, eat your fish

2010-09-17T23:56:00.001+08:00

I can't deny that I almost lost touch of the blogging sense. Or maybe I already lost touch of it. Note the random title which I will be practicing for future blog posts.

Well, it's time to blog. No point keeping all the whining in my cerebrum.

Life in NTU is usual. Walk here, walk there, take a bus ride up to somewhere, walk, walk, walk, sit, stare, momentarily took a nap while listening to lectures...

Then walk, walk, walk, decide whether to take a bus ride back to hostel, stare at bulging belly, decided to walk back to hostel, then sit by the laptop...

Oh my goodness, the only time I snapped out of this zombieness is during dance classes or just dancing.

If I were to be in a game, it would definitely be Plants vs. Zombies. I will be the marching villains stepping into a yard full of vicious plants. And I will keep spawning until the time limit is over. Sigh.

Well, a quick update about my past life:

1. Had a very long holidays with family. During that period, 50% of me wants to go back to Singapore (cos that is the period when the dancing scene is HAPPENING) whereas the other 50% of me wants to stay in Malaysia (cos I just really love my family, especially after a year of not seeing them).

2. Went to Beijing with my mom. Everything in Beijing is so wonderful except the food they serve (nothing beats Malaysian food). Craziest thing I did is to climb the Great Wall of China and almost reach the top (cos the tour guide set us a time limit before gathering, damn kns)

3. Grew fat since the 2nd semester exams and during the holidays. Belly is clearly bulging to the point where I can't see my toes. TRIED EXERCISE on daily basis but failed.

4. Came back to Singapore. NTU offered my Hall of Residence 1 which is quite comfy. Love it. And looking forward to join the hall dance crew, Unific. =D

5. Realising that my freestyling is getting worse. Need more freestyling session.

6. Had a lot of events since the last blog post, few major ones: MSA Senior Camp, The Big Groove, MSA FOC 2010, etc....

7. Sick of some Malaysian's racist attitude. I actually cursed them with fully loaded muttering cuss words which I care not to list them here.

But for now, life is good (at the moment). Hence the rebirth of blogging.

Life is like a box of chocolates. So just eat it and enjoy. =)

2010-03-22T23:36:00.005+08:00

Woohoo! Another dance performance (actually, it's performanceS). Two times in a day this Saturday! Once for Run Round Singapore in the opening ceremony; once for NAF in the evening!

By the way, I have not idea what is NAF. Sounds like an army term though.

By the way, check out the video of our performance during NUS Emerge 2010 in Zirca! (yes, we performed in a club!!!)

The music atmosphere is perfect for performing: bass, bass, BASS, BASS!!! *eccentric*

And I watched two shows in a day! Once in the morning for Soka Youth Musical in Tampines; once at night for Joint Dance Concert 2010 in Republic Polytechnic. Both did a great show! I was stunned and moved by everyone's performances! Three cheers to you guys!!! =D

And now, back to eating air. YES I'M WULIAO.

2010-03-16T03:24:00.002+08:00

All you need to do, to emphasize my point, is to check when did the previous post were posted.

Yeap. It's been a while.

For the record, this is the second post of the year! [applause heard; thank you]

Lately I have been busy with stuff after stuff. If I were to list out what I did in these three months, seriously my fingers will disintegrate halfway through the list.

Summary of three months: events, dance, gatherings, dance, studies, dance, DANCE, DANCE.

This is the year of the forbidden D word aka Dance.

My crave for dancing suddenly becomes an obssesion.

Now, just resting two days without dancing, I want to f**king scream already.

Sigh. I need to hold back. Finals are coming. >.<

Yes. Noticed that this is one depressing blog post. I'm hinting you to console me. (wtf is wrong with you daniel =P)

Dancing brings people together. Dancing benefits both the audiences and the dancers. Dancing is one of the best way (to me, it IS the best way) to express yourself, whether it is meaningful or meaningless.

I'm really grateful that music existed. If I'm not exposed to music or music didn't exist my life somehow or rather, I'm just a completely empty shell.

Enough of emo-ing.

Check out this video in facebook. Aus Ninja explains about dancing and it's very educational and enlightening to all aspiring dancers.

I need to peace out. Let's post something random for the sake of the mood in this post:

A famous car company producing Kia models informed a Chinese businessman that they want to expand their market in China. The businessman eagerly agreed. So the company asked him how many cars they should start exporting.

He answered, "我要七百 Kia!" （translation: 'I want seven hundred Kia!')

Those who get it, I know it is friggin' lame, but I thought this up at 3am, so what do you expect?

2010-01-01T14:01:00.002+08:00

I would like to take this opportunity to say...

~ Happy New Year everybody!!! ~
Welcome 2010!

Yeap, 2010 is finally here. A decade gone, just like that.

2009 was super eventful. I had fun in Malaysia (post-STPM period) with my family, friends, High School Division (HSD), Hibiscus Artistic Dance (HAD), Malaysia International Furniture Fair (MIFF), Galactic Future Group (GFG), etc. I totally missed those times where I have to rack my brain juice for many situations, where friends are everywhere, where fun is always in the air.

Then enters Singapore.

It's one of those moment where I experienced big changes in life. Realizations struck here and there. Reality hits hard. Many times I had voices in my head yelling, "GROW UP, YOU S.O.B.!" And no, I'm not saying that I don't like it. In fact, I totally ENJOYED it.

But entering the new year with my screwed up exams results of my 1st semester is not what I had in mind. Well, it's time to change. *brought to you by DiGi! 'I would follow you~~' ah yes I'm lame*

New year, new me.

To all of you guys out there, happy new year and all the best in your future undertakings! =D

2009-12-10T03:51:00.002+08:00

I suddenly think of something lame to post.

Adidas - its' for those people who are addicted to dust! (It just sounds like that)

Nike - its' what you scream when someone kicked your knee, and then your nuts. (If that person just kicked your knee, you would just scream "MY KNEE~!")

Lol. This thought came out in the middle of the night.

2009-12-03T17:48:00.002+08:00

December is here!!!

And I'm feeling incredibly lazy.

Cold weather, exams over, laptop in front; these catalysts make a great combination.

And Robin from MJ gave a link to a website in the tagboard in our NTU MJ website. (Yes, we have a website!!! And a very cool one too!!! XD) The website he shared is www.singaporegotdance.com, which is very interesting and informative! To dancers out there, please visit it! =D

From now on, my only hobby is to listen to music, and do NOTHING. I have no idea why.

I think the sloths in South American are more hardworking than me.

2009-12-01T20:58:00.002+08:00

OMG.

I feel in love with a website, posting TOTALLY random things.

introducing THEOATMEAL.COM!

Omg. This site just rocks my world. And it's a bad thing that I discovered this site in the middle of exams period. I wasted like 2 hours reading its' random contents. =P

Those who wants to laugh at others' bad luck, go check FML.

And those who just feel random, theoatmeal.com is for ya. =D

2009-11-25T01:03:00.002+08:00

Q: How do to deal with examinations head-on?

A: Use your head la.

Yup. Not only it's random, but it's senseless as well. This is stress, taken to a whole new level.

2009-11-21T20:40:00.002+08:00

Exams exist for some reasons.

1. To approximate how little you slept during lectures and tutorials.

2. It's a signal for you to clear the lectures notes and tutorials off your table (either by keeping it for your future juniors or make a campfire out of it) to make way for the future lecture notes and tutorials to come.

3. It's the only time where NTU will be too quiet. So strange the phenomena it should be a tourist attraction (wth).

4. To find out how bonded are you with Facebook.

5. To make sure that your calculator will not rust because of infrequent usage.

6. To express regrets over yourselves for choosing this particular course.

7. It's the only time where random blog posts seem to make sense.

8. It's the only time where you noticed the existence of your lecture notes.

I wished I could think of more reasons, but my mind is full of "C plus plus", "C plus plus", "C plus plus".

And nope, I'm not measuring my chest size.

Randomness is Unevitable

2009-11-09T20:08:00.002+08:00

Hey hey!
*note: random greeting*

Let me present a theory:

Law of Randomness.

If one is being under an external force or stress, one will produce

randomness (either in verbal, action, just thinking, etc.)

with the magnitude equal to that of an external force or stress applied.

For example, if the examinations are approaching, lame jokes are frequently heard all over the campus. Or somebody is bound to do something random, like winking at the professor during lectures or showing peace sign and middle finger alternately at bus drivers. Or just thinking about when the world has finally come to the end, what will your favourite food be.

The art of randomness isn't hard to master. In FACT, it is the FACT of life. (no pun intended)

Ha ha ha. It's damn sad to be laughing alone in this blog post.

Random joke:

What do you get if you asked a Transformer to wait a little longer?

Translator!!!

(Get it? Trans-Later)

I used to have other Transformer jokes in my old blog post here.

In fact, I have many other random blog post during my pre-STPM days.

Here's one.

Here's another one.

Here's another one too.

Here's another one three... (Heck, I didn't know I was that random last time)

Hear me out.

*wind blow*

2009-11-05T11:54:00.002+08:00

Exams are coming!!!

And yet I'm tied down by lab's formal report!!!

*brain dead*

For this, I need to say something random.

7 Ways to Kill Time When You're Not Studying:

1. Visit YouTube.com. Type "random" in the search bar and hope that something random will pop up. Advisable to keep going to the next page of search results until there's isn't any more page to go. Then start realizing that you didn't watch any videos at all.

2. Eat ChipsMore while Facebooking. It is productive to do so because both hands are being used in the process. The right hand holds the mouse to scroll down the website whereas the left hand holds the cookie to be shoved into your mouth.

3. Keep counting the number of fingers you have, to make sure it stays at ten. It is essential to do so because there is a chance that your fingers will disappear at any moment. Bermuda Triangle might exist in certain part of your room. And who knows, you might grow one extra finger, and you won't be able to show your middle finger to anyone (since there won't be a middle finger in even numbers of fingers in a hand).

4. Scream your neighbour's name in high pitch. Then notice the noise of the shifting of his/her chair. Predict how the chair is being shifted. This will train your analytical mind.

5. Keep note the number of door slams in 5 minutes. Then multiply it by 5 to see if the product is equal to 17. If it does, start running away.

6. Visit YouTube.com again. This time, start from the last page of the search results.

7. Go visit FMyLife.com. Rant about how much time is being wasted reading this post.

Yes. My super random mind is coming back to haunt me. Just like my STPM days.

Randomness is my nature. Don't blame me. Blame mother nature. (wth?)

2009-10-31T02:58:00.002+08:00

Oh my goodness.

It's been awhile since I updated my blog.

Life is been getting better every minute. Looking forward towards Impresario 2010 *grin*, MJ dance camp during December *grin wider*, eating more and more junk food at midnight *grin like a madman*...

And life is getting worser every minute as well. Exams are coming *frown a bit*, exams are coming *frown more*, exams are coming *wtfbbqlmaorofllolzccbknstns*...

That's pretty sum up my feelings now.

And yea, there isn't a day that nothing has happened. Which brightens up my life. =D

Oh man, seriously, why am I blogging like this? Like, emo. Duh.

2009-10-28T13:45:00.003+08:00

And here's another background. This background is inspired by Chen Ken Kent. Ken kent, if you're reading this, nice one. =P

Sorry to those who doesn't understand chinese. Try and ask around. And ask them to read it backwards.

2009-10-22T02:02:00.002+08:00

Just wanna introduce to you all, my current desktop background.

Can't read? Keep trying. XD

2009-10-19T23:37:00.002+08:00

Life is full of ups and downs.

To summarize my ups, I having fun most of the time.

From attending dance practices (Stooffi's and Esther's cheoreo rox~!!!! =D) to watching movie in TV lounge (horror movie; oh my goodness, but hey, the fun comes from closing our own eyes watching it) to jogging in midnight (managed to jog 6km for 34 minutes; and shagged myself), life couldn't get any better.

And to summarize my downs, I having fun most of the time.

Enough said?

FOCUS, you nimcompoop. *smack self behind head*

2009-10-12T17:47:00.002+08:00

I have a confession to make.

I did not study for my CAs.

And I ain't proud of it.

Apart from successes in Computing, Sounds and Effective Communication (what is there to study in effective communication???), I screwed my CAs terribly. If there is such a thing as the God of Exam, he would have come down to smite me directly in my face and recite "Thou shalt not screw thee's examinations".

Am I distracting myself too much? Have I lost control with myself?

Oh man.

Note: This is not an emo post. It's just a knock of realisation on my head.

Wake up, Daniel Siow Wei Tze aka the-guy-who-does-everything-else-but-study.

2009-10-06T00:43:00.003+08:00

Oh man. Groan. Snort. (Whatever to start this post)

I think I have overdone some things:

1. Shopping. (I literally ignore the fact that the difference between prices of products in Malaysia and Singapore is the currency [magnitude is constant].)

2. Dancing. (active in MJ. Frequent customer of Mr. Yew Tube)

3. Extra Co-curriculum. (I got EEE club and MSA FOC in my ECA. And I'm aiming to do well in both, esp MSA FOC.)

4. ENJOY LIFE. (it do me no good if I exceed the limit)

Not a good sign. My perception of 'University life' has gone haywire at the moment. Need to refocus on my lecture notes!

*continue watching YouTube*

2009-10-04T14:11:00.003+08:00

I got my spectacles!

Woohoo!

And I still look like Daniel Siow. Yay!

Note the awesomeness of my portrait. [glass cracking]

My old specs lasted for more than 2 years. So hopefully, this one will last that long too.

*Wait a minute.*

It should last even longer!

This specs is super expensive leh~ (SGD 300)

(T.T)

2009-10-03T02:25:00.003+08:00

I got myself a haircut.

For those expecting me to go *bald*, I'm sorry that I disappoint you.

I changed my mind at the very last minute (just before the barber gripped the scissors).

Yup. There's no difference from before. Same old, same old.

Ah. Home sweet home. Get to play with my piano once more. Get to shop for stuff (which I considered it all CHEAP). Completed my tuition grant too. Ate Bak Kut Teh in Kepong (wonderful!).

Only one thing will complete me.

MY SPECTACLES!

2009-09-30T23:40:00.002+08:00

MJ chalet rox!!!

One of my favourite camps in my life (apart from GFG, R2P24, etc.). Made so many friends in such short time. And developed the skill of self-high.

Should have taken photos leh. Damn saddening to see myself holding a underutilised amera phone.

I don't know how to start blogging about it. Trust me, it's that good.

Three cheers to the organisers! =D

I <3 MJ =)

Tomorrow I will be returning to Malaysia. This time, I will be in Malaysia WITHOUT MY SPECS! I lost my specs back in Pasir Ris. Luckily Shi Xuan lend me her specs. Thanks ya! =D

I can't wait.

2009-09-27T22:44:00.003+08:00

EEE Subcomm Maincomm Bonding Camp is over! Yay!

I should say, thumbs up to the social committee! We all did a great job. Sorry for not being enthusiastic as I could be due to my tiredness (and my anxiousness to start the recess!).

Tommorrow is the MJ chalet! I'm so nervous about it. Hope I will enjoy it! =D

Thursday will be the day I will return back to Malaysia.

List of must-do task in Malaysia:

1. Meet up with my friends on Thursday and Friday.

2. Cut my hair.

3. Buy myself a new pair of shoes.

4. Stockpile my food storage.

5. Bring back several stuff (my mini luggage bag, Edifier speakers [OMG! I WANT IT SO BADLY IN SG!])

6. Complete tuition grant (wth)

2009-09-23T18:38:00.003+08:00

Sigh!

Continuous Assessment.

It's like a roller-coaster ride.

During Computing CA, I managed to do well. So my emotions were high. =D

Then the next day, Maths CA. Oh my goodness. I sucked totally. ='(

Then later, Sounds in Our Daily Life CA. Why so freaking easy? =.=

And already I'm dreading for the next day's Physics CA. It's going to be a nightmare. >.<

Woof. Miao. Roar. Grr. T.T *random sound*

2009-09-20T01:10:00.003+08:00

Tonight is MSA's Mid Autumn Supper Night! Woohoo~!

Nervous about the outcome of the event. Hope that everything goes well! Performances, games, food... *shiver* *shiver*

MSA's Mid Autumn Supper's poster, illustrated by me =D (a lil' corny though >.<)

MSA Middle Hall Comm!!! Jia You~!!!! =D

2009-09-17T23:40:00.003+08:00

Woohoo~~!!!

Life in NTU is...

...dancing almost everyday for different reasons!

...training with Modern Jazz (NTU-MJ) Club every Monday and Tuesday!

...skipping meals until dinner time, that's when the $7 worth of dishes come into the picture. =D

...watching YouTube.com frequently because of the fast internet!

...being a part of Sub Committee of EEE club!

...hoping to be the part of MSA FOC Committee!

Woohoo~ This IS university life! Except when it comes to the CAs (continuous assessments). T.T

And yea, since I have a laptop now. I shall do an introduction!

Readers, please meet Miss Danielle aka HP Probook 4411s!

Miss Danielle (awww....)

She's smooth, sleeky, sexy, dirty... erm... a lil' bit literal.

Yes! I can blog whenever I want! =D

And I realised I have a new way of saying "Haha" or "Lol"...

NYEK NYEK. =P

2009-09-08T09:37:00.002+08:00

WOO HOO~!!

Words can't describe how high I am.

Firstly, I got chosen as one of the sub committee of EEE club! I'm in the social department, means I get to be the part of the organizing event team. It's gonna be like the good old days! =D

Secondly, I GOT THROUGH THE AUDITION FOR MJ CLUB~!!!!! For unfamiliar readers out there, MJ club stands for Modern Jazz club; one of NTU's pride. I thought I screwed up the audition the moment it ends. I'm now experiencing euphoria.

One word to describe my current emotion: ORGASM!!!! XD

Seriously. I'm high now even without Vanilla Coke. =P

2009-09-06T20:00:00.002+08:00

Life in NTU, in my point of view:

1. is about using my roommate's laptop to do stuffs. So sorry Chee Peng~! If not, I will be in the computer room or Lee Wee Nam Library to use the computer.

2. is about trying to avoid injury. If I'm injured, it means immobility in my own room. T.T

3. is about making a choice to either eat my meals with friends, or alone. And not to mention making a choice in which canteen to eat.

4. is about attempting to do tutorials which in the end will end up as blank papers.

5. is about deciding whether to do laundry on a particular day because of the unpredictable weather's PMS.

6. is about enjoy life to the fullest!

=D

2009-09-04T20:45:00.002+08:00

Dao mei de yi tian... (translation: A very unfortunate day dot dot dot ok I know I'm lame)

When for Modern Jazz's Club audition. Didn't really do well. Lost focus. Out of touch. Even I'm beginning to type incomplete sentences. Crossing my fingers now. Or shall I say, twisting my fingers (you will find out why) T.T

*Nevermind.*

Then while walking back from Hall 7 to Hall 11 after audition (I know, its far), I accidentally stepped into a grass-covered hole. That's how I twisted my left foot badly. Then I limped all the way back to hall.

*Nevermind.*

Later, while walking (or limping) from Hall 11 to Hall 8, there's a group of people walking towards me. So, being polite as I am (ahem), I stepped aside into the grass. This time there is no hole, but a thick branch. That's how I twisted my same left foot again.

*Nevermind your head la*

All this can happen within 2 hours. Saddening.

I should say...

DAO MEI DE LIANG GE XIAO SHI... (translation: A very unfortunate two hours)

2009-08-26T21:07:00.002+08:00

Haihz.

Reason why I'm blogging now:

Because I'm locked out of my own room. And my roommate is out.

So I'm spending the rest of the night in front of a computer in the hall's computer room.

"Oh it was sad... oh it was sad..." (an excerpt from a cheer in MSA FOC)

This is my second time being locked out, and this time I gotta wait for my roommate to come back. Oh no.

*drawing circles on the computer's monitor using my index finger...*

2009-08-21T19:59:00.002+08:00

(T.T)

Procedure for PC loan can't be completed!

By the way, my mom came all the way from home to bring me lots and lots and LOTS of stuff! Food, utensils, extra stuff, and even found my super-favourite yellow-collared Edifier shirt! Thanks mom!!!

Another reason why she come to Singapore is to sign for the agreement of computer loan. So sorry, mom. Next time I will read the terms and conditions for gurantor properly. >.<

Sadly, the computer shop say I must have a Student Pass to complete this loan.

HEY! I only get my Student Pass next week leh!!!

Luckily the shop let us sign the agreement, and asked me to bring my student pass next week to complete it without the need of my mom's presence.

But still, it means I need to wait a week longer before I could get my hands on the laptop. That's mean I have to wait 3 more weeks.

Noooo~!!!!

*continue drawing circles on the floor with my index finger*

2009-08-20T20:16:00.003+08:00

Gahh!!

Consider this:

You have free access of fast internet in the campus. Yet you don't have a laptop to use it.

Gahhh~

Waiting for laptop to come... in few weeks time. Sigh.

*drawing circles on the floor with my right index finger*

2009-08-16T21:26:00.003+08:00

Heyz there!

I still don't have a laptop to use. Aiks.

Life is good, until I played futsal.

My smart-ass brain told me that playing barefoot is fine since I assumed that the court will be rubber matted. Or carpetted. Or something else comfortable.

It turns out that the futsal court has cement floor.

Don't know why, but I continued to play barefoot.

Lo and behold, surprise, surprise, surprise. (rolls eyes) I got myself a "lat-pei" syndrome.

Info: "Lat-pei" is a term used to describe a skin peeled, revealing the raw skin. Ouch.

On both of my legs somemore. Pain, pain, pain! >.< The size of the wound is equivalent to er... your thumb and index finger forming a ring.

(wind blows) =.="

Very inconvenient when you have less of a body part.

Is even more inconvenient when you have no laptop in NTU campus. Arghh~!!! T.T

MSA FOC~

2009-08-11T17:48:00.002+08:00

Oh man~ I had lots of fun during Freshman Orientation Ceremony!!! =D

Wish I could blog about it, but I'm using my friend's computer. And I'm applying a PC loan from NTU which will take 3 weeks to process. So no blogging for three weeks!!! T.T

MSA (Malaysian Student Association) really did a good job in welcoming the Malaysians to NTU! Three cheers and three cheers and three cheers for Odessey! Hip hip hooray~!!! =D

I particularly liked the cheers!

Try saying 'fight kill' repeatedly in fast manner. Or 'Bus third'. Or even 'Cheese pie'. =P

Wait for my update about NTU soon! (that is, I repeat, in three weeks time. T.T)

2009-07-31T16:45:00.003+08:00

IN:

New experiences! New challenges! New friends! New stuff! (just bought ma...) Independency!

OUT:

My family, my dog, my piano (my biggest sacrifice), my room, my friends, HAD, P2P4...

There's pro and cons in everything. It's how we deal with it. (someone told me this, but I forgot who >.<)

Hope that I can deal with this!

Countdown to 5 days...

2009-07-27T12:08:00.002+08:00

Last Friday was my farewell by P2P4! Suppose to have it in my house, but then got SWS meet in my house on the same date. Only found that out on last Friday. Oops. (most likely my fault for asking my mom too early) So last minute the venue changed to Mable's house! Thank you Mable~!

Nice farewell by Region 2's P2P4! Thank you guys~! =D I will be missing you guys LOTS. And Miss Shee Yan will be the Phoenix for P2! (Actually already a Phoenix. Lolz!) PTCs and PICs, don't bully her ya! =P

Last Sunday (yesterday) was HAD Day celebration! Quite a record: My final attendance to HAD, my final presence in Bunka Kaikan, and also my final time driving Toyota Unser. T.T

Anyway, back to the celebration. Had a brief history of HAD [since I understood most of the cantonese words this time, I finally understood fully the background of HAD. >.<], games, and experiences. Very interesting way of bringing out the point "Many in body, one in mind" during the game! (and also quite char dou; especially before photo session) Great organizing by the PICs!

In these few years (or many years), I have learned so many things from P2P4 and HAD.

It's because of P2P4 and HAD that I become what I am today.

Thank you so much!

I must bear this really heavy sense of gratitude to P2P4 and HAD!

Arigatou~!

One last request from P2P4 and HAD.

Any photos? =P

2009-07-22T18:23:00.002+08:00

Oh no!!!

I'm given a place in the hall of residence!

But that's not a bad news.

I do WANT the hall of residence badly. It's cheap and convinient.

But one thing is the LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

My hall is on the mooost north side of the campus; my school is on the moooost south side of the campus!!!

The displacement of my given hall to Electronic and Electrical School is 1.6km!!!
*according to google map measurement... I used ruler and scale... >.<

Refer to campus map below:

Oh no... T.T

At least I get to see the whole campus for the first few days by just travelling between the two points. >.<

Random.

2009-07-20T15:16:00.002+08:00

Piano improvisation v1.0

It was 3am. I couldn't sleep. So I decided to sit by the piano.

At that moment I'm not sure why, but I quickly set up my camcorder. And start improvising. And since this is an improvisation, I have no idea what to name this song ('cos I won't be able to repeat what I played; random ma).

So, I just put it as 'piano improvisation v1.0'. Lolz.

Hope you enjoy it! =D

2009-07-20T02:08:00.002+08:00

Record breaking (in my life, that is):

Three std 6 gathering in a month!

It's been a while since 6U gathered together. In fact, it IS been a WHILE since we gathered together!

This month I'm feeling emo. Trying to keep in touch with many friends before I shoot off to Singapore.

5 Balau! We need to organize one last gathering before we all shoot off to somewhere else~!!!! T.T

Std 6 gathering in Nasi Kandar Kayu!

Another one in my house! Had a lot of fun!

Especially russian roulette (with pizza eating in place of death)

I'm so gonna miss Malaysia.

Bad hair day.

2009-07-17T01:48:00.002+08:00

Oh no!

First of all, I went to the barber on Wednesday to find it closed.

That Wednesday is a bad hair day.

The next day, I got the barber. With my ingenious suggestive thinking, I suggested to cut my hair short so that I can budget by spending less on barber visits.

And the result?

Almost no hair day~!!!!! >.<

2009-07-13T03:21:00.003+08:00

People out there are talking about Transformer 2 and Ice Age 3 and Dance Subaru!...

And I just watched a movie called Finding Neverland.

*Why are you watching all the freaking old movies??*

With Johnny Depp using a strong Scottish accent, you can't help but wondering how versatile is he.

In this movie, J.M. Barrie (played by Johnny Depp) is looking for a new idea for his play. And that's when he met the four boys: John, Michael, George and Peter. All the names looked familiar? Does J.M. Barrie sounds even more familiar?

Yup. This movie is about how this playwright got the idea of the infamous Peter Pan, thus the title of the movie, Finding Neverland.

The whole movie is so touching and heartwrenching. And it brings out the childhood in me. "I believe in fairies~!" *spoiler ahead* That moment (which is almost the ending part) really really really really SO SAAAAADDD~!!!!! T.T

Recommended to all who are looking for movies that has no mushy mushy love story or violence or sex appealing. This movie is pure and innocent.

"She went to Neverland, but you can visit her anytime you like; if you just go there yourself."

"How?"

"By believing, Peter. Just believe."

:')

2009-07-10T02:19:00.002+08:00

Oh my gwash.

Why do they want to implement Maths and Science in Bahasa Melayu?

I can't see any logic in the reason they gave "so that the students in the rural area will benefit" and "teachers prefer BM".

I can't believe this is actually happening.

My future generation is going to learn Maths and Science in a language that is useless in other country.

What went wrong in the education ministry?

If this goes on for few years later, I'm gonna be a citizen in Singapore for the sake of my children. =P

But seriously, this is one bad move.

Malaysia is going to suffer in many ways in the future.

2009-07-07T15:13:00.002+08:00

Taken from a hospital a week ago.

H1N1 on the rise! 300 plus deaths already too! >.<

Aiks... Readers out there, please wash your hands after you picked your nose.

Or better, wash your hands regardless of any action (including being stationary).

This is Mother Nature's way of controlling the overcrowded population of the earth. So if you're not careful, you might be the selected one being kicked out of this planet.

2009-07-03T01:31:00.003+08:00

In my entire life of 20 years, I have no idea that I will get out of Malaysia at all. And this thought scares me.

In my kindagarten, I learned about the existence of Malaysia.

In my primary school, I learned that Malaysia is a good place to stay in.

In my secondary school, I told myself that I will stay in Malaysia forever.

In my form sixth, I told myself that I will study locally to save money.

Two months ago, I said "Let's go to Singapore!"

This is one big sacrifice: money, family time, friendships, Gakkai activities, personal time... None of it that I can do while I'm in Singapore.

But now all I can do is to look forward. There's no turning back already.

Not even moonwalking back.

I have no idea that this will happen in my life.

It's a big transition of life to me.

2009-07-02T00:58:00.002+08:00

Being sick of using my brain, I decided to watch a movie.

Not one movie, but three movies in a row.

And I watched...

Infernal Affairs 1, 2 & 3~!!!!

*dude, damn old show la*

And some more, rather than relaxing my brain, this three movies made me rake my brain even more!

Conclusion, it is helluva good movie! Great cast, suspenseful storyline, fantastic choreography, etc. Recommended for all.

I'm in the mood of watching movies now! And also karaoke! Arghhh~!!!

2009-06-29T17:53:00.002+08:00

Sh!t sh!t sh!t sh!t

The more I think about MJ, the more I want to be a musician again.

He is my inspiration for music. Did I fail him?

It's all coming back to me now.

I supposed to get over this dream already.

Now it's haunting me again!

What's your path now, Daniel? Reality check or go for your dream?

I sincerely don't know.

This familiar feeling of doubt is deja vu.

2009-06-29T00:33:00.005+08:00

When I watched Moulin Rouge again recently, I was like, "Aww..."

The theme of this movie cum musical is...

LOVE!

I liked the songs very much! The compilation of modern songs is just soooo romantic!

Watch these few clips if you don't believe.

"How wonderful life is...

Now you're in the world~!!!"

Tribute to Michael Joseph Jackson

2009-06-26T21:22:00.005+08:00

Devastated is the word to describe my emotions now.

I can still myself remember attending a discussion meet in Damansara Jaya when I was 8 years old. I saw a performance by a YMD dancing to MJ's 'Rock With You'. And that person tried to pull me in to dance with him (which I didn't in the end). At home, I keep asking my parents who is Michael Jackson. From that day onwards, I just wanted to be like MJ.

He is the first artist that I know of.

He is the reason why I love music.

He is my first inspiration to start dance.

He is the reason why I have high self esteem.

He is my first idol in life.

He is my first role model in life.

Now I feel very guilty 'cos I stopped supporting him few years back (must have lost interest in his music; and also trying to catch up with newer trend). This feeling just sucked. You know, 'du-lan'?

Michael, thanks for everything in life!

Because of you, pop music became the main part of the music industry.

Because of you, artistes strives hard to include cool dance routines in performances.

Because of you, the artistes all over the world tries to emulate your presence during performances.

You have left a legacy that will last for a very long time. The title 'King of Pop' ultimately belongs to you forever.

Rest in peace, Michael Joseph Jackson

1958 - 2009

Michael Joseph Jackson (1958 - 2009)

2009-06-26T11:27:00.007+08:00

Oh my goodness. Today my dad woke me up early in the morning to inform me that the King of Pop has passed away due to cardiac arrest. He was 50 years old.

He is the person who inspire me to start dancing. For that, I have a deep sense of gratitude towards him. His bad media reputation will not cloud his greatness. He will always be remembered as the trend setting performer that put a high standard for others to beat.

May you rest in peace Michael.

*eyes sore*

Last night I spent 2 hours reading back my old post. *what for la...*

That is the whole year of 2008. *walaoweh... too much time kah??*

Can't believe I posted lots of weird things in the past!

2008 was really full of randomness, which made that year fun like hell.

I wish this year I can do that again!

And looking back, I now know that I totally sucked in metaphors. *duh~*

See the blue italics words? That's my subconscious mind talking. *screw you.*

Questioning my ego

2009-06-24T23:31:00.003+08:00

Now I keep wondering to myself: Did I make the right choice?

Firstly, due to Singapore's efficiency, they offered me Electrical And Electronic Engineering. Without thinking, I was like, "Take it! Go for it!" without thinking about the budget involved. Although already subsidized (which is why I have to work in Singapore for three years after graduate), the expenses is still quite high, that is S$9k++ per year. Living expenses, according to my seniors, S$500 per month (including hostel). So, working it out... S$60,000!!! T.T

Then USM offered me Electronic Engineering (after the error making incident). Due to my arrogance and hunger for good reputation (why would I want to study in an apex university that made such a big blunder???), I rejected it kao kao. The expenses, later I was told, is RM1,400 per year for the course. OMG that's freaking cheap.

Later UKM offered me Microelectronic. I was like, "Wow, heck of a cool name for a course" reaction, but due to my arrogance once again, I rejected it (actually I did not even reply them). Course fees? RM1,455 per year. Walaoweh.

Did I make a better choice? I don't really know.

All I can do is just keep going towards Singapore. Not only I sacrificed my parents' expenses, but also 2010, High School Division, Junior Division, etc.

Did I make a right choice?

Crap.

2009-06-22T01:33:00.008+08:00

This is a thank you speech.

Selamat sejahtera saya ucapkan...

*phaik*

Okok.

First of all, let's talk about GFG camp!

Full of fun! And the time we took to make our Gosho section a success! After many changes and criticism, in the end we made a game that could bring out the main points of the Gosho! That's like, whoa, totally! (add dumb blonde tone here) Anyways, it is the combine effort of not just a Honbu, or a region, but the whole KL group that made this whole camp a success! Thank you GFG for letting me be the part of this success!

GFG 2009! Spot me!

(first line in front sitting, somewhere on the left side, white shirt, grinning like a donkey)

Miss you guys! T.T

Alright. Now the ultimate PD trip ala PIC/PTC training camp!

It is a huge success! There's so many things to take care off! Venue, timing, games, T-shirt design... Luckily got a very very very great team to work with! Everyone in the team contribute so much that I felt like I did nothing =P. Lolz! And thanks to Mr. Wong Cheong Tak for handling lots of things and constantly reminding me of many things! Can feel the unity of Region 2 in this camp A LOT! (Imagine being under the sun for like more than 4 hours, and still no one fainted! =P) Many breakthroughs happened in this camp as well! Who knows, few years later Atak will assign someone to organize a camp for whole KL? =P

Thanks for giving me an opportunity to be the part of the organizing team! *one final hurdle: impression meet!*

Region 2 Group photo after teambuilding! But it is incomplete...

... must include Atak! =D

Wait. Still incomplete...

Ta-da!

Wakakakkakakakak~!!!

Others behind were flabbergasted: "wth is this kns camwhoring by himself..."

Finally, the HAD performance during 6.15 Celebration cum All Leaders Meet!

We were asked to dance to Fei Yang's "Blues Brothers Revue". The first time I hear it, I was like, "Omg! My brother played this song before! This is so cool! Whoa! Walaoweh! Coincidence ar?!?!?! Hope my brother is performing!!! Woo~!!! Yea~!!! Let's begin as soon as possible... Wait a minute... Can dance meh this song?"

And in comes Miss Su Kwan! [cue dramatic theme song] Her Rock n' Roll cheoreography was simple yet fun and energetic! =D

After many many many practices in such short period of time, we did it! The crew is wonderful! Especially thanks to Ong Tze Wei for helping me out and also come early to Kaikan! (or else I will feel very very very lost in steps) And of course Evon Ang! Thank you so much for being a great and patient dance partner! (you are especially good in tahan-ing my noobness; thank you!!!) And my final bow goes to Su Kwan!!! A very patient teacher to the last moment! Fantastic cheoreography!!! Arigatou~!!! *bow* =D

Hail the crew! Su Kwan, Sai Hou, Chin Ting, Chong Yuen, Vong Kwan, Mun Fai, Gin Nin, Tze Wei, Wing Yan, Wai Xiong, Evon!

Woi. Fei Yang leh?

Oh ya! Thank you Fei Yang Symphonic Band! And thanks bro for performing with me eventhough you are busy with the hospital housemanship. =D

The Blues Brothers crew!

*Blues Brothers Revue tune humming in my head already*

2009-06-15T12:52:00.002+08:00

Updated checklist.

GFG Camp = VERY SUCCESSFUL~!!!!

PIC/PTC Training Camp = VERY SUCCESSFUL~!!!! (except not satisfied the weird sun tan mark on my arms)

6.15 Performance = VERY SUCCESSFUL~!!!!

But one thing not successful: I have no photos for any of these events! Help!!! >.<

It was really really a wonderful week. No regrets for having a tight schedule. =D

Now I'm back to slacking at home. Feel like want to rest until I go to Singapore. The month of May and June was so packed and busy, that a 6 hour sleep is something I craved for. And I don't want to drive car for a moment; so sick of holding the steering wheel every day! >.<

Daniel Siow, stop blogging and start asking around for pictures!

I love piano! =D

2009-06-12T16:21:00.006+08:00

This is me playing Ryuichi Sakamoto's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence.

Expect a few glitches. I'm still newbie here. And also a bit different from the original music since I'm improvising as well. =P

This song is the theme song for the movie: "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence". Apparently, it is about the difference between the Japanese and Americans social point of view. Although I never watched it before, the plot itself sounds good (I read the plot from wikipedia here)

Funny thing about this movie is that David Bowie is the main actor and one of the characters is played by Ryuichi Sakamoto (the original composer for this song). Two music artiste in a movie? Whoa.

Anyways, I enjoyed playing this song. Hope you liked it too! =D

2009-06-10T00:42:00.002+08:00

*Scream*

We did it~!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GFG camp. Result: Success~!!!!!!

PIC/PTC Training Camp. Result: Super success~!!!!!!!!!

*Screaming even harder*

Man, I want photos!!!! Did not manage to take lots of it though. Will upload soon. =D

2009-06-05T00:37:00.002+08:00

Months of preparation comes to this just 5 days!

Must push self~!!!

=D

Our Malaysian university.

Just received an apex status, and now has made a blunder.

And it's a big blunder too!

4000+ students that initially been given a space in the university now have to face the reality that the university didn't picked them at all. That's really painful, like being smacked in the ass with a piece of fish.

Luckily I'm going to Singapore already. Otherwise, if I have been waiting for that university to offer me a course, maybe I would have been one of the 4000+ students as well.

Another thing is that by the time that university offers me a course, I have already been on the way to Singapore. Really slow in processing the application of the students. No wonder most of the good students been sucked out of Malaysia! Example like *ahem* *ahem* Daniel *ahem* *ahem* =P

Malaysian universities need improvement! Or else the future of education in Malaysia will stay bleak.

My condolences to the unfortunate applicants.

My brother graduated as a doctor! Congratz bro! =D

Now waiting for the professional version of the graduation photo!

(one month time only can produce. Walao.)

2009-05-31T21:41:00.002+08:00

Sigh.

I'm feeling tired emotionally and physically and mentally and siow-ly and mad-ly......

It's exhausting!!!

Oh man, everytime i say this word "exhausting", i always think about that joke:

Q: What do you get if you run in FRONT of the bus?

A: YOU GET TIRED!

Q: What do you get if you run BEHIND the bus?

A: YOU GET EXHAUSTED!!!!

WAKAKAKKAKAKAKA~!!!!! (high and syok sendiri)

But seriously, my legs almost died especially when driving back. ARGH!!! I jealous of auto drivers liao. >.<

HAD performance for 6.14 Fei Yang concert must success!!! Actually this will be my last concert before I leave Malaysia. So must do my utmost best!

But today feel like I did not do my best! At times I lose focus, feeling very blur! Somewhere went wrong in my head today!!! Must be the lack of chocolates. Tomorrow I must treat myself MARS BARS!!! (finding reasons to indulge in chocs =D)

And tomorrow is the start of the "killer week": GFG camp, PIC/PTC training camp, hectic HAD practice!

After this week is the time for me to relax! RWAR~!!!

These few days got myself an ulcer, leg pain, near collision with other cars, malnutrition!!! T.T

2009-05-30T02:09:00.002+08:00

Memories! =D *Random moments*

One of the best U6K 2007/2008 pics in my opinion. =D

One has to wonder why Alairic is raping me from behind. That's his nature. =P

2009-05-30T01:46:00.002+08:00

Whoa. I feeeellll good!

The kick off was good, although we have issues with punctuality (traffic jam; can't help it, really) and a little bit messy, but the PICs/PTCs had fun. Can really see the spirit of helping each other out eventhough we constantly advise them not to help each other. In the end, we realised the organisers are the sanshoshima (three devils and four obstacles)!!!! =D

We underestimate their ability already. So must raise the standard of the camp!!!! RWAR~!!!!! =P

Thanks to atak, mable, shee yan, gin nin for helping~!!!! =D

2009-05-29T17:29:00.003+08:00

OMG!

"Tonight will be the night that i will..."

*ahem*

"...DO KICK OFF FOR PIC/PTC TRAINING CAMP!!!!"

Must success, success, SUCCESS, SUCCESS!!!

Nervous now. >.<

2009-05-25T22:42:00.002+08:00

The next two weeks is gonna be the two weeks of my life.

PIC/PTC training camp kick off meet must success!!! GFG camp must success!!! PIC/PTC training camp in PD must success!!! HAD performance must success!!!

And all of it will be in just two weeks.

Funny that all these must be in the school holidays. Although I have no school already, but I also want holidays!!! Wakakkaka greedy pig here. >.<

I'm predicting that my life in Singapore will be totally different compared to now.

And I'm very, very, VERY afraid of that changes. My lifestyle in Malaysia is really unsuitable when applied in Singapore.

ARGHH~!!! Gonna have nightmares tonight!!! >.<

2009-05-23T15:48:00.002+08:00

omg seriously I can't go JD fun day...

So sori guys~!!!! Will join you guys next month!!!

Although still in pain, but at least it is better than yesterday... yesterday I can't even walk to the fridge to find food!!!

But today, I managed to walk to the fridge... TO FIND IT EMPTY!!! WARGHHH!!!!!!

Have you ever been in a situation where your leg is in pain, there is no one at home, and there's no food or drinks (or even MILO~!!!!) to enjoy with!?!?!?

That is what I sincerely called the "WA-LAO-WEH~!!!" disease.

Visible symptoms of the disease: constantly repeating the name of the disease in loud manner, develop a sickness called "BEH-SONG", and pointless blogging.

(=.=)"

I really need a life. I can't be staring in front of the computer or TV for a whole day.

Saddest thing of all, I can't even press the pedal of my piano!!!

Really WA-LAO-WEH man.... >.<

2009-05-22T13:53:00.005+08:00

My leg is so pain....
It's all over again...
I'm almost going insane...
This poem come from my brain...

Oh man. I sucked in poetry.

Synopsis of the poem: My leg pain!!!!!!

And this time is both legs!!!!

*scream*

I scared I can't make it for tomorrow's JD Fun Day. No legs means can't teach dancing!!!

*scream*

*pant* *pant*

Random pictures time. (suddenly feel like to... >.<)

Taken while surveying in PD. What a way to grow. Whoa...

The beach in PD. Very serene nia...

The graffitti in Pasar Seni train station!!!

This is my favourite spot to enjoy scenery!!! Wooo~!!!

The students of SM Confucian claimed that this is my lost brother. LolZ!!!

I sure missed the form 4 students... Hopefully I will be back! (if another teacher gets pregnant =P)

2009-05-20T23:07:00.003+08:00

Oh my.

It's frustrating not to get something right. Repeating it sounds like not helping. Must understand the concept!!! But I don't really get it!!! "How did you do that???" "Not right??" "Oh no! Sorrie..."

Must practise. Must practise.

I feel bad for my partner. T.T I must try very hard!!!

And thanks to MBS gang to bring me out for karaoke!! I feel much much MUCH relaxed after many many weeks of thinking and being active!!! It's been weeks since I take my own time off!!! Enjoyed with you guys!!! Thanks!!!!!! (So so so sorry for singing the last song without realising that the time limit is up... T.T)

Now, time to refocus on what am I supposed to do. *meditate and humming*

2009-05-17T22:01:00.002+08:00

Busy month!!! Alert alert.

GFG camp, PIC/PTC training camp, HAD performance... My head is tingling~!!! ARGHH!!!

And now my mom ask me (or another words, force me) to teach in her school for four days temporarily. Although it doesn't sound like a long time, but PLEASE i already have hectic hectic hectic schedule for four weeks!!!!!! Now with the temp job, I have to change my timing ALOT!!!

Oh man, i wanna scream in this blog post, but the biggest font is not big enough for me to release tension. ARGHHHH!!!

The upside of this month: MANCHESTER UNITED IS THE BPL WINNER!!! All hail Man Utd!!!

Note: I think tevez's agent is super greedy. screw him. =P

2009-05-08T16:54:00.001+08:00

I found this on youtube...

So cute! And a bit annoying.

"Gee gee gee gee baby baby baby~!!!"

2009-05-07T01:48:00.002+08:00

Joe Hisaishi~~~

Omg I loveeeee his musics!!! Especially if he play solo on piano!!!

This song above is from Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away entitled "One Summer's Day". The moment I hear him play, suddenly everything in my room went silent except his music. It's so nostalgic!!! I feel like crying listening to it. For those who think I'm a maniac or fetish-for-pedophile-freaks, you have to watch Spirited Away. The storyline and it's soundtracks can take anybody's heart away.

Omg I am so wanna try this song on piano! (The chords for it sound complex though. Don't know whether he keep changing the signature keys every bar. Lolz.)

The song above is from Studio Ghibli's My Neighbour Totoro entitled "Path of the Wind" (by now, you should figure out that Joe Hisaishi always make the soundtracks for Studio Ghibli's movies). This song is sooooooooooo well played!!! Never even thought that the orchestra version of it can be translated into something so touching!!! The cello suited the environment so well!!! Hisaishi's piano made the whole music grander!!!

It's a must play for those who loves classical music or new age! It's fairly easy to play and also very enjoyable (when I play this song on piano, I actually sway my whole body without realising). I wish I could find a cello to duet with, then it will be like a OMG-OMG-OMG-OMG-once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

There are many other Joe Hisaishi's great music (find out his Princess Mononuke's OST, or Nausicca Valley of the Wind, or Howl's Moving Castle... Or best, go find his Animation Medley! All of his best songs mixed into 8 minutes... =D). Be a fan of him! One of most respected pianist/composer in the world too (alongside Lang Lang, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Maksim).

Oh no!

2009-04-27T22:46:00.002+08:00

Great. Now I'm in dilemma.

Should I bring my piano over to singapore? Or should I leave it in the house?

First of all, it is an electronic piano, not an upright or grand piano, so there is no value of just displaying it at home. Secondly, I'm the only one who is playing it in the family, so leaving it at home will be like, SEVEN YEARS of immobility. Thirdly, by taking it away form the house, it will be too painful for my parents because of it's sentimental value (eventhough it is been there for only two years). An empty space at the most strategic spot of the house is really, like, *wtf* *kns* *dulan* feeling.

What should I do to my piano???

Great. This is so gonna be a depressing decision in either way.

2009-04-25T00:09:00.004+08:00

wtf.

how do you convince your parent that you wanted something so badly??

expect you to go for alternatives because it is cheaper and nearer???

wtf. wtf. wtf.

i have no idea why the second son always get the least benefits.

Sorrie. Just emo. Lolz.

Admission and Educationist

My teaching period is short. Apparently the teacher whom I replaced is coming back from the hospital. Supposely she said that she will be in hospital for two weeks, but she is already getting ready to come back teaching. Maybe she scared that I become permanent. Man, I'm so thick skinned.

But that's what my mom (headmistress of the school) told me. She received feedback from the students that want me to continue teaching them for the next two years. *proud* They totally understand what I'm teaching. *boasting* They loved the name Mr. Siow too. *laughing out loud with arms akimbo*

Thats one syok sendiri moment.

AND I GOT ADMISSION INTO NTU~!!!

AND I GOT FIRST CHOICE: ELECTRONIC & ELECTRIC ENGINEERING~!!!

Man, this is one big gift from the skies. First of all, I have no backup plan. I never applied for any other universities like UTAR or what. I was really hoping a LOT in NTU. I actually lied to my parents that I applied other universities "just in case". *Relief* Secondly, I have no interest in the other choices that I picked like E&E Eng with Econs, Maths and Econs, Applied Physics, and Mathematics. It's just the best day of my life!!!

Now I want to go a step further: GET A SCHOLARSHIP.

*greedy dog speaking here*

Life as Teacher Siow (Siow Lao Shi)

2009-04-21T14:31:00.003+08:00

Yikes. I'm a teacher in SMJK Confucian. Teaching Chemistry and Modern Maths in Form 4.

One word. TOUGH!!!

It's the feeling of expecting responses from students but none came. It's exactly like the Potong Stim feeling. So enthusiastic while teaching to the point where you stop to ask, "So far so good?", suddenly the room is quiet. It feels cold without the air cond.

At least I received great feedback from teachers (which got the feedback from students). I'm not sure though whether the students were honest or just being polite.

It's also tough to teach while wearing uncomfortable clothes. One moment you are describing the concept of mole, the next moment you want to rip your clothes off. *gasp*

And teachers must really really REALLY plan AHEAD of the lessons. Like two weeks AHEAD. Or else you feel like a dickHEAD during next lessons.

At least it is satisfying to reach out to students. Most of the students are hyperactive and friendly. But at times I got worried when they became silent mode (or vibration mode) while I was teaching. Great, are they concentrating or are they being concentrated? >.<

Most news and log about teaching soon! (It's only my second day by the way)

2009-04-19T01:25:00.002+08:00

Today I took the Ujian Munsyi test... which is basically a personality test for applicants of USM.

First of all, the USM is kind enough to send me to the nearest school... WHICH IS IN WANGSA MAJU. (I stay in PJ, mind you) Second of all, the distance between the Wangsa Maju Putra station and the school is really far. (I checked the freaking road map... according to scale measurement, it is suppose to be only a freakin' ONE kilometre...)

At least walking was fun with the hot weather; whole journey was thinking it was going to rain. From my house to Taman Bahagia Putra station to Wangsa Maju station to the school = 2 hours walk. Luckily got friendly strangers and Cheong Hoong Jun to guide me to school, or else I would never even reach there. Thanks Hoong Jun~!!!! And also thanks for the transport back~!!!! =D

The test was like THREE HUNDRED question and expect you to do it in 1 hour. Actually it was easy to answer. All you need to do is to agree or not to agree the statement given. So I was like one question took me 0.5 seconds. It was until I reached one question:

"Saya setuju saya seorang yang menawan... Setuju atau tidak setuju?"

This question took me 5 seconds to answer. I was like "Is this a trick question?" "Is this to grade my confidence level?" "ISN'T THIS SO LAME???"

And I want to syok sendiri. So I wanted to answer "setuju".

Yet, I saw the question wrongly. (I read, "Saya TIDAK setuju saya seorang...") So i answered "tidak setuju". Great, even syok sendiri also cannot. That's how bad is my confidence level.

New look~!!!

2009-04-08T17:49:00.002+08:00

Woo~~!!! Got myself a fiery background!!! Purely photoshop products!!! =D (I start from stratch one, okay??!?)

Man... how i wish no one steals this backdrop, but hey, anyone can just right click the background and save it. I don't know how to put the "no-right-click" warning thingy. Aiks. And that "no-right-click" feature is so darn irritating in other sites!!!

So if anyone just wanna take it, take it la.

Man, I'm so perasan.. like anyone will steal it in the first place... >.<

2009-04-03T23:11:00.002+08:00

Yo~

Quite random now...

Do you remember The Corrs?

Oh my god. I just feel nostalgic everytime I hear her songs. By the way, it's so hard to find it now, that even radio stations like Lite and Easy FM never include it in their playlist.

Recently when I looked back in YouTube, I was like "THEY ARE AWESOME~!!!!!!!!!!!!" Every song in their album is sooooo wonderful!!! Who can't forget 'Runaway', or 'Breathless', 'So Young', 'Radio', 'What Can I Do?', or even 'Irresistible'?? It's classics back in the 90's.

Check out this video. You will understand the craze of this band among youths that time!!! Very few bands in the world will ever get this kind of responses from the crowd! (wait until the chorus then you know what I mean =P)

By the way, they are the only band other than U2 who were from Ireland that made it international. The reason they stopped? All got married. T.T I wish I could buy their album... But it is so hard to find!!!! *cry*

And I tried 'Runaway' on piano. I feel sooooo touched playing it (like in a live show). You guys out there should try it! Fairly easy song to play. It's a three count song, and in verses section you play chord [F-G-Bflat-C], pre-chorus [Dm-Bflat-G-C], and chorus [F-G-Bflat-C] (like verse section).

Omg. I wished they would come back. =D

2009-03-27T00:16:00.004+08:00

lolz... dead blog soon...

I got myself a background!!! (After looking for the CSS codes for the loooongg time in the help section; since 3 months ago)

If possible, I hope anyone reading this can help me. I wanna noe what is ur current screen size, and also whether you got see "blank spaces" (or margin) at the left side of the falling leaves. I scared different computer screen size will result in weird position of the background. =P

I made this background picture just to encourage myself to blog more. Recently I was busy looking out for scholarship (which in the end I only applied one scholarship from NTU... lolz...), attending Buddhist meetings, outings with friends (especially MIFF =P)... the list goes on.

And also, play GTA San Andreas! The game is sooooo fulfilling~!!! Need a game to release tension? A game to do senseless killings? A game to plot secret revenges? (Lolz, this is too far) GTA is for you!

Ahhh... Such is life after STPM. =P

To STPM juniors out there, your turn (to freedom) is coming! *sinister grin*

2009-03-11T08:59:00.002+08:00

Wa. So many things to blog about.

First, I got caught in the flood during first show day of MIFF 2009.

Then, we had many many many eventful things happened during these show days.

We had fun as well. After the last day, Director Tan belanja us Bak Kut Teh at 1am (or izzit 2am; blur liao).

I got sick with fever. Manage to recover on Monday, so that I can join the MIFF staff go eat "The Ship"! Angeline belanja us all... Thanks ya! Later we watched the Punisher, which is such a gruesome show. Finally we ate supper in Steven's Corner in Setapak.

Next day, I collected my STPM results. I GOT 3.67~!!!!!! Happiness~!!!!!! But it is not the end yet, baru the beginning aje. Now have to decide what to do.

So the sorry. No pictures. Sigh~~~ (computer reformatted, so didn't back up the pictures T.T)

2009-02-23T00:33:00.002+08:00

Whoa.

Went for the briefing in MIFF office. Almost offered a new position, which is the hall coordinator. Higher pay and free hotel is offered. Yet I rejected it. Sigh. I gave them the reason I have arranged the transport already, so if I stay in hotel, I sacrificed a transport.

Actually there is a grimer reason.

I don't wanna be in the front line~~~ Kena marah constantly, I will be a main target. I'm not really ready for that; maybe next year. =P Well, I was told I have to directly assist the supervisor of PWTC event management, Caryn. Don't think I have extra pay though. My fate still under discussion too. Haha. May not even have the job. >.<

Later, I attended my friend's dance performance, contemporary entitled "Steppin' Out". It was awesome! Fluid movement, great choreography, conceptual, abstractive, mysterious... It's so cool~~ They brought contemporary dance to a new level. Great show Chai Wen! =D

Dance practice was fun. Wai Kit continued basic popping lessons. Now I knew the actual chest pop technique, but yet to master it. Woo~ I'm getting high from this! =O

Man, this is becoming a journal to me. Haha. Self contained laughs. Sweat. =P

2009-02-17T03:04:00.003+08:00

Sigh. Forgot something.

Happy Freakin' Belated Valentine's Day!

Although St. Cupid's working hours is long over, but who knows you might meet him on the streets, disguise as a hippy pimp begging for money, and secretly shooting magic-sprinkled pebbles by the flick of his fingers at you.

My way of celebrating this year's valentines: Attending a wedding dinner and supporting my dad's drunk friend out of the ballroom. Yikes.

Next morning was an exchange meet with students from Soka University of Japan! Sorry guys, I immediately rushed off right after the last agenda 'cos got dance practice. Great knowing Lee, Tai, and Yoshi! =D

Dance practice was interesting, the fact that Wai Kit (not Mok Wai Kit, I'm sorry) taught us popping! Now I know the real basics which is much better than my assumptions-made-by-just-glaring-at-Youtube-video-clips technique. Weird part is, although the dance mainly focuses on hands (you can't pop your legs), my legs are very much more tired than my arms. Sounds like I misunderstood Wai Kit's lessons. =.=

After reaching home, my mom commented that I looked fatter. So I was like, "Uh. Okay. Sounds positive. That's the first time I heard from her" until I looked at my stomach. WTF it's round. And I weighted myself on the machine. By golly, it's an extra 8kg since last December!!! How did I add on an average of 4kg a month??? That's the price to pay for not watching the diet. Blame the Chinese New Year. *sigh*

And it means... more exercise! Don't dare to reduce food intake though, since can have many side effects. That's what my brother told me, but never elaborate. Still, it's better to follow this rule.

And yea, I'm addicted to facebook. Only the games' section. Lolz. Another contributing factor to my fats.

Yes! Finally I at least knew the basics of the music making program called "Reason 4". One heck of a great program to use. The interface really simulate real life mixers, effects, controllers, loop player, etc etc. Another addiction coming in!

What the fish. I'm still playing GTA San Andreas.

And I'm blogging at 3.30am. What the hell!

Such is life. =D *after stpm, that is*

2009-02-14T02:19:00.002+08:00

Yikes. My facebook was inactive for like... a year and a half? Now I'm reactivating it.

Facebook isn't my thing. Not used to many many many applications (which I eventually removed them all). Friends request is overloaded. I still don't understand how it works, or where is the settings or options. Great.

Still, I agree that it is a great way to socialize. Being aware of other's situation, etc etc.

Life is good! Get to do things that I don't normally do: piano, just-music session, dance, just-driving session (to heck to global warming for once), facebook, flickr, blogging, playing GTA San Andreas (yes it is outdated, thank you), MSN...

Yes. Slacking is a lifestyle. Some deserve it. =D

2009-02-11T21:43:00.003+08:00

Whoa Chris Brown. You bit her, for real. Literally.

Rihanna ain't coming this Friday, which is a wtf-ccb-tns-ssh-lmf-kns to many fans in Malaysia. Luckily it is postponed, not cancelled. Did Chris Brown bit her vocal cord? Ouch.

Though I'm not going for the concert, I'm quite sad too. Because those jack*** who are protesting against her concert finally got their last laugh. Lolz. Maybe Chris Brown should be better off biting these guys.

All I'm pleading for is...

PLEASE DON'T STOP THE MUSIC~!!!

You better live your life... Ehhhh ehhhh ehhhhhhh.....

Dum-dum de-da dum-dum de-da-dum...

Eh, shut up and blog... =D

Tagged. =.=

The rules and regulations:

1. Each player of this game starts off with 15 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself.
2. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 15 weird things/habits/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly.
3. At the end, you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names.
4. No tags back!!

All right. I shall begin.

-------------------------------------------------------

- I'm a little perfectionist, which constantly annoys people around me.
- I'm materialistic and fussy. E.g. I want a mp3 player, so I will take months after months of survey and research before I purchase one (my Sony A726 took me 5 months to decide)
- I hate Ipod forever. Anti-Ipod fan here.
- I'm addicted to kuaci (sunflower seeds). I can eat them non-stop for at least 30 minutes.
- I constantly call Streamyx hotline to reset my connection due to connection hang.
- Sometimes I want to be with a group of friends, sometimes I want to be alone. I think I'm suffering mood swings. Or social swings?
- I can't touch alcohol at all due to family tradition. Hence, I never got drunk before.
- I generally love music. I hate silence.
- I have dumb bells in my room which I constantly train with. Yes, I'm vain about my body.
- I sometimes dance alone in my room in front of my mirror. With the music blasting. Can go on for like 30 minutes or more.
- I love Mars Bar and Snickers so much that I sometimes eat them for breakfast and lunch.
- I drink at least 4 cups of Milo everyday. Another addiction.
- I don't feel comfortable if I have less than rm50 in my wallet.
- Whenever I'm pissed, cursing and swearing is my nature. And I'm not proud of it, yet I can't help it.
- I don't usually do tag like this, but I'm slacking currently.

And here are the helpless victims: U6K's mates, SMKDJ mates, R2P2 mates, etc etc.

Nope, I'm not specific. Thank you Janice.

------------THE END-------------

Dream, dream, dream, dream...

2009-02-09T21:48:00.004+08:00

Due to excessive amount of free time, I suddenly had this day dream.

With the usage of petroleum rapidly increases every year, it worries me that it will end one day. In order to reduce the dependency on petroleum, I thought of innovating something that can generate electricity for free and unlimited. I thought of many possibilities: wind, water, feces (not comfortable with the idea), light, atomic reaction (not safe)...

And suddenly, I thought of gravity.

Hm. Is it possible to design a device that can use gravity to its' fullest? Can kinetic energy alone be able to generate electricity without the help of magnetism? If the amount of electricity is insignificant, can it be amplified without using electricity (or else it is purposeless to USE electricity to PRODUCE electricity; irony it is)? Is it even possible to use gravity to produce a system that albeit to the rules of simple harmonic motion?

Though it is beginning to sound impossible, but no one has ever tried it yet (I think). Since there isn't anyone trying it, how can we say it is impossible? No one could actually imagine that the supercomputer with the size of a family hall in the past could be shrunk into the size that we have today; hence the name "desktop".

Wow. The more I think of this, the more I want to be an electronic and electrical engineer. It's cool~!!! =P

While typing this, I was thinking of another possibility.

Can we harness electricity from SOUNDS?

Whoa.

News, news. It is as entertaining as playing Freecell frustrated.

Politics going haywire! Perak couldn't have been more chaotic, and everyone is waiting for that 'party-hopping' to happen. Meanwhile, people start to point fingers into a session of 'whodunnit?'. Anwar has been elected as the King of Frogs (lolz, creative wise, I gotta praise them) for being the first and earliest to party hop. The two new independent MPs are being jeered and cheered at the same time. Kinda sucks, like in WWE where you are unsure whether you are the good or the bad, and the crowd giving you response that you can't depict.

Next! Christian Bale's swearing session is so famous, that a music version of it (techno) hit 1 million viewers overnight! At first it feels like fun, but rewatching it is horrendous. The amount of f-word in his 3-minute-plus 'speech' is equal to the amount of the word 'the' in Obama's inauguration speech. Is the set really that full of tension? He just snapped off completely without realizing. Something to do with the lights fell down or the cinematographer was following another's actor's back.

There goes his reputation. Pity, especially if it is uploaded into Youtube.com already.

Kids, a lesson learnt here. If you test your parents' patience, finally they will just snapped off like how Christian Bale did, and someone outside will be recording every word they say and then uploads it into Youtube.

Ahem! Man Utd is at the top of the table, and Liverpool did them a favour by beating Chelsea. I'm Man Utd fan by the way. Glory, glory Man United~!!!

I shall quit wasting your time. A thousand apology.

Woo hoo~!!! Happy Chinese New Year to you all!!! Well, this year no house cleaning for my family (cos' we came late; the cleaning is done. Lolzzz... Sorrieee...). So this year's theme for my CNY is... FOOD!!!!! Cooking and eating runs in my family's blood, especially my mom's sister-in-law (ok, I know it is not my blood. But I didn't mean it literally), and my mom's sister's neighbour's Indonesian maid (ok, I admit; not really in my blood at all).

Let the pictures do the talking. Lolz.

Family reunion dinner on the eve. Omg, I missed my mom's sister-in-law cooking already.

My mom's sister's neighbour's friend's (I'm like playing a game of family tree) FRUIT SALAD!!! AWESOME~~!!! Makes you wanna eat this non-stop, bowl after bowl, till my aunt gotta go rationing with this. =P

The famous Chicken Rice Ball restaurant next to the bridge. The stall was there since I was born, and still very famous for their unique rice ball. We arrived at 10.30am and the crowd was already that much as pictured above. Heck, it even need a blue arrow sign to guide the queue.

They make the rice ball even before the customers order. Optimistic, you say? Nope, it usually finishes so fast that catching up with the customers' orders is a norm in this shop.

Behold!!! The famous Hainanese Chicken Rice Ball!!!!

...no more...

Omg, we actually found a Teochew in one of the shop houses that dresses EXACTLY like my dad's. Turned out that he knew my dad's DAD. Whoa. (Notice the shirt, pants and even belt? IT IS THE SAME)

Eating non-stop in my grandfather's house. Even with 3 sister's and one brother's family gathering together, the food can never be finished. It's like trying to eat food from a warehouse.

Ego egg rolls? I'm starting to imagine a fairy tale:
Once there was an egoistic egg who was rolling down hill...

There's a tourist police in Malacca??? Do they chase after tourist only?

Is it a herbivore????

Imagine this person...

Who tries to spread the message of environment awareness to anyone, encouraging anyone he meets to car pool to reduce petroleum usage which is depleting rapidly. Having said that, he continues by stating that we can prolong the life span of earth by another 10,000 years if everyone in the world does that. He too promotes Earth Day, Al Gore's campaign, SGM's Earth Charter and etc.

And yet today, he drove Toyota's Unser ALONE to Kelana Jaya's Giant Supermarket to buy Chinese New Year's clothes, not feeling guilty at all until he reaches home.

Fuck him, man

Yes, the 'he' is me. So, fuck me.

My action has shorten Earth's life by 20%.

YOOOO~!!!

President Barrack Obama in da House~!!!

And it is da White House~!!!

His speech is really really good. Inspiring is the word. He made sure that the audiences and listeners around the world are the part of this historic 'change'. He made sure that it is the people's effort that will result the situation of the future.

And now he has to deal with the economy crisis. I could hear him say, "It's ain't fair~!!!" The world awaits his decisions and actions. This is his first challenge in the seat of one of the most powerful person in the world.

And yes, a random note. I have read Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. Oh my goodness. So many information just stuffed into my head. So many contradictions, allegations, and differences. It sound absurd, yet true. Priory of Sion, Opus Dei, Constantine, The Last Supper, The Rose Line, The Mona Lisa, Leonardo Da Vinci, Sir Issac Newton, The Knights Templer, etc. etc. WOOO~~!!!

Lots of interesting fact. A book recommended to all. If anyone feels that this book is hurting your culture or religion, then I suggest you to stop reading. The facts inside may deepen wounds, crop up controversy, or even produce extremist (against the author, that is).

I'm tempted to read it again. Grr... >.<
