Bye bye to my Singapore's home
And I never thought that I need 3 days to clear everything. How can 2 person have sooo many things. Hmmph. I really don't like packing and unpacking. Grrrr.
If only we can have some kinda power to ask the things to fall into its respective place, like those witches on the TV. Fingers are all we need. =p
And, now it's another round of packin for the UK. Arghhhhh!

It's my B'day?
Anyways, I started to wonder, why didn't chinese celebrate their b'day according to the chinese calender (maybe they do but I don't know) and I bet most younger generation people don't know much about all this chinese traditions and the dates relevant to it (just like me, hehe). And I wonder if this month of ghost applies to all chinese across the board, regardless of religion or otherwise? Hmmm.

Fireworks 2007 in Putrajaya. The Italy team
Anyways, back to the fireworks (btw, tonite's performance's by the Italy team). To be frank, it's a lil below my expectation, but overall it's still a great show (coz nothing to compare with yet, hehe). There're some reallly good ones in between which got me to 'wow' non stop and the bit just before the finishing was awesome! It seriously cheers people up and certainly excites me! And you just feel, oooh my gaaaaawd! I was contented. =). The others were kinda..erm, repetitive. Oh, I do like the one that showed the shape of love. That's pretty! Hehe. Wonder how the other teams did thou?
Surprisingly, the place wasn't as crowded as I thought it'd have. Sooo different from when I was in Singapore last year (Oh yea, they had the fireworks competition last year in Singapore, and it's amazing!! Maybe that's the first time I got to see so many rounds of fireworks, =p), where you couldn't even move! It's good to have land and room to move around. Malaysia is still a nice place! Hehe. But the traffic after the show was hohoho, great!
I should really check out the finale on the 2nd Sept. Hope it'd be breathtaking! And now that I know where could be a better spot. Shall try to see from the theme park area next time. Be there at around 7 plus or 8 the latest will be good. AND shall remember to charge my camera before I leave the house the next round. Yea, that's the reason why I didn't manage to record a single thing. Battery's flat!

At last...
KL's traffic is horrendous! Never once did I get to experience a smooth sailing journey to and from KL. Sometimes I wonder, is it really that we have soooo many cars on the road, or the system simply is just not well planned. Thank goodness I don't work in KL. =p
Once I get my ticket tomorrow, I should be free for a while. Hehe. Time to enjoy and get some fats back!
I'm the Empress?
And I'm the Empress?!! Hmmm. Interesting!
You are The Empress
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful (this is quite true, but who doesn't like to make things look good?! =p).
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

Never ending list
It's frustrating.
To the extent that you don't even know what to say anymore. To the extent that you just want to know, what's the ultimate conclusion and all the processes that create only fuss can be flushed down the drain.
Other than exercising my voting responsibility, I shall pray harder that one day when I am asked 'what is Malaysia like', I can say proudly that 'it's a lovely country!'.
For now, I know I must be well-equipped and be competitive at the international level. Should my country is no longer a pleasant place to live, I'm not left with nothing. Life is more than this. Self-enrichment is compulsory before you can reach out to the others.

My Very Last Day
Had a good talk with Andrea. She's upset. It's the first time ever that I saw her like this. And that made me a lil emotional too. Hmmm. But good to know that my work, my presence are appreciated. =p
All the wishes and greetings from everyone are sooo lovely! Academic working environment still has its good. Sincerity, that's the best medicine. I'll surely missed the occasionally laid back working style here. =p

Thank you =)
You said thank you, for helping you soo much with the work, but I'd like to say thank you too, Michelle, Luo Le and Sharon, for giving me a chance to work with you girls, and discuss things together, and be part of the team. It's sooo sweet of you, all of you! I'm really glad to have known you, though it's only been a year plus, and that we barely talk much other than work stuff, I'll always remember, how you girls have made me feel all warm inside, and that friendship does wonders!
And don't worry, the scarf will not serve only as a scarf, but a friendship that I'll cherish always!
Thank you, and cheers!! =))

Possess and to be possessed
Where, or perhaps how, to find a balance in freedom? Is there any in the first place?

Shangrila vs the apartment vs the food court
2) The Apartment at the Curve - interesting concept, can be a nice hang out place, provided they at least work on their drinks. Food ain't great, only edible. The mango and duck salad was the worst choice I've made. Oh, this ain't even edible. Pasta was alright, the baked fish was a bit too salty for my taste, and with that, we've decided not to order anymore.
3) SS15 foodcourt, opposite Taylors College - the most economical food place. Afterall, this is the most satisfactory foodcourt that I've been to. Their stingray is really good!
Hundreds spent altogether but only the foodcourt is statisfactory. What happen?

Happy Birthday!
And I'm not forgetting it. Never will it slips my mind.
All I want to do is sing you a birthday song. A birthday song that comes only from the heart, from the sweet memories I had with you, with care, love and best wishes.
May happiness be with you always. For you look good only in smile.
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you-u,
Happy Birthday to you....
Happy Birthday, my dearest friend...

This is sooo getting on my nerves!!
If you (whoever that's responsible) ain't goin to pick up the damn phone, then don't even ask the applicants to call up to check their visa status! I've been tryin almost the whole afternoon and all that I got was either 1) the line is engaged, 2) call is not answered (and 1 sec before the line's supposedly engaged) 3) directed to the machine operated menu, which is so freaking useless as there's no option to speak to an operator but the machine!!
HELPLINE eh! What a bloody helpful line!!! It's helping sooo much by all means to frustate me, and nothing else!
I'm seriously goin to lodge a complaint on this once I get my visa. What's the use of having a helpline that doesn't allow the caller to even get hold of the operator, what's more this is the only direct means advised by the officer to check the status of our visa application before we proceed with our collection. Yes. The other option is by email. But hell know when are they goin to reply. Seriously, I've no faith in them!! But let's just wait and see, if at all I'm goin to get any reply from them.
Be it the human factor or technical problem. Please get the service back to standard!!!
I haven't been swearing for donkey years, please don't make me start!!!!
Many at times

Transformers! I'm so loving it!
Says who it's a guy's movie?! Bumblebee is sooooo cute! How can he beee sooo adorable! With its blue lil cute eyes!! Especially the scene where he looked back at Sam when he's caught by that stupid state seven people. I was so touched by that! Oh, and the groovy cars! Though some of the parts were a lil messy to me, particularly the fighting bits (aint able to differentiate the good and bad guys, which doesn't matter much to me anyway), I'm still loving it! I'm contented! I just love the way the movie is put together. With some humour and aspiring statement in it! Now I can understand why most of the guys do not mind to watch it for a second time. Coz I'm also on the same shoe. =)
Can't quite remember the cartoon version of it, that was like donkey years back when I watched it! And having watched this movie, I feel like revisiting the cartoon series! Yea. This's how much I enjoyed the movie.
Harry Porter doesnt even give me that feel! Transformers simply is just so darn awesome!

Gambate!
Why is everyone asking me about you?!
Why is everyone askin me bout you when I aint in the mood?
It's been months and shouldn't we close the chapter by now?
Argh!!!! Deep breath. Take a deep breath!
Perhaps I'll be more readily to talk bout things when I'm on the high.
Perhaps I've overestimated myself on my capability.
Perhaps, I've not done enough exercise!
Perhaps, it's just a moment thing.
Yea. It's just a moment of down time.
Gambate! Gambate!

Investing in the FUTURE?!!
Motivational courses to me act no more than a reaction that is very time dependent. I would rather the government uses the money to introduce more practical modules (be it compulsary or optional) into the syllabus, for instance the very basic microsoft office or the sort (I've met quite a handful of people who do not know how to use excel, and I'm talking about very basic excel here, and they're all graduates from university!), writing and thinking skills, and perhaps courses that involved extensive communications and interactions. These are the skills that will be carried with the students always. Early exposure, if permitted is certainly better than later. I always believe a condusive environment is critical for personal or professional development as humans are the product of the society and environment.
PETALING JAYA: The Government has allocated RM1.1bil for motivational courses for students in all parliamentary constituencies in the country, Deputy Information Min-ister Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said the money would be channelled through the Information Ministry's Special Affairs Depart-ment.
“Umno, as the leading party in Government, is also concerned about students' development as they are the country's future,” he said after closing a motivational course for children of Subang Umno members here yesterday. – Bernama

This or That?
Decision, decision, decision. Grrrr. Tough call, when both courses have something that I'm interested in. And that's not it!
To stay on campus or off campus?
If on campus, which accommodation should I select?
If off campus, where about do I want?
To buy an open ticket or 1 way ticket?
Questions never end, will they?
We're living in the world of choices.
Yada yada
Never knew that the assessment can be this tiring as I've never attended any previously, but am certainly glad that I was given a chance to see what it is like. Oh btw, this is the very first stage of screening for the Khazanah Scholarship. We'd some sort of IQ test to begin with, followed by a group task where we're asked to conduct a survey and to present the data at the end of the task to the board, and next we're tested on our strategic thinking, confidence level, interpersonal skills yada yada based on a scenario created by the facillitator. Lots of Q&A sessions, from group interviews to inteview in pairs. Phewww. Am just so relieved now, that it's over!
When I was on the bus, alone (I think that could probably be the reason), I just have a sudden urge of calling you to share what's happened today, and what and how I felt. Must have been a lil deprived in having someone that I can share my on-goings with. Hmmm. No one to talk to can be a lil upsetting.
And now I know why you're always hungry by the time you reach my place at midnight. Coz I felt exactly the same when I was bout to reach home. I think I'll just sleep through it. Nobody to cook for me. Sob sob. =p
Still have to go to work tomorrow. Arghhhh!!

Should I?
Haven't been thinking bout you, bout us, bout the past for a while, and I was just surprised (or maybe not so) myself that the trip back to KL actually managed to kick start my memory of you. And I wonder how are you doin now?
Thoughts. And I know for sure they will remain as just thoughts. For my goodness sake! For it's just the product under hormones influence. For I've came to realise that (or maybe forced myself to realise) should we meant to be in touch, we'll be. Yes. I'm becoming a bit more passive in this regard now. And I shall remain in such status.
