Is there any reason to continue? + unrelated: multiplicity pics

2011-06-15T15:54:00.005+08:00

Ughh... I've been leaving my blog hanging for who knows how long already =[. Don't know why, blogging doesn't seem to be as fun as it used to.Is there a substantial reason for blogging? honestly, I'm not in the least bit interested. Or maybe it's just me? filled with a sense of utter paranoia for the thing in which we so candidly label as the hardest exam for "some" of us to deal with yet- STPM.

No matter, I think I'll live. You know what they say, "whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger". Sorta illogical if u think about it in one way, how can a product of wood pulp kill? Well, ppl do commit suicide cuz of exams ya know~ =3 lame? yes, hardly worth mentioning? maybe but by golly, if anyone can understand my humour (preferably by laughin) then i'd be a silly happy ice cream junkie.

Anyways, enough of that. Some of you might still remember about a certain course called edu-box, i don't really wanna talk much about it but more specifically on a particular activity i did during that time. It's what people refer to as 'multiplicity photography', sounds fancy? I hope so, I've been using this as my main crowd pleaser for a certain class video which i have yet to pass to my lecturer =.=

Overall, it was a fun thing to do to have my classmates model different poses for the multiplicity picture which was somewhat pleasing to the eyes xD. Alas, I don't think the video is a real work of art but hey, who says you can't have fun crapping. Most of the backgrounds used in the pics are all thought of by my classmates but I did sorta help a little bit.... just a lil~ Some had tress, some had buildings, some had both. All in all, i think everyone enjoyed it cuz we haven't did anything like this ever since we started form 6 =[

I'll post a sample pic of it soon. Btw if anyone's wonderin, i used adobe photoshop Cs5 to do it. Quite a nifty software if ya ask me xD

A day at the TARC cyber centre

2010-05-12T18:44:00.002+08:00

TARC (Tunku Abdul Rahman College) is where i am now taking my STPM course.... yes you're seeing this correctly, STPM in a college?!?! How can this be possible?! Well...... honestly i dunno why, TARC has some history leading to the offer of STPM courses there.

One thing that almost everyone will see when they enter this college is that TARC is quite big when compared to other colleges. Uni doesn't count..... it's a totally different league over there.

Oh yeah, i'm also staying in the TARC hostel, a merry little place to live in~~ although the distance between the hostels and the STPM building is freakin far. It's my 4th day here but my feet already hurts.... a lot.

The orientation week is okok loh. So far none is super boring, or maybe i'm just too hyped up.
The lecturers are, by far, totally different from our school teachers, and not to mention the subjects too.... eesh. Although i'm not too sure about A-levels *blek* xP

The cyber centre is THE most futuristic building in TARC, with the fastest broadband speed in Malaysia. Now that is awesome!!! Of course, that's what i would say if it weren't for them blocking me off from most of the addictive websites on the net with the exception of facebook =[

Oh well, there is still more to come. TARC is full of stuff i need to both brag AND "smother".... haha joking..... or not o.O

BORED BORED BORED~~

2010-04-05T18:36:00.003+08:00

Darn........ a few of my closest friends have abandoned me to go for NS. Now I'm alone at home with limited people to chat with ~no offence guys~ and i'm slowly being driven mad. As mad as a hatter, they say xD. Too bad i didn't see the film though, heard some mixed reviews from my friends.

There is still hope yet, I can chat with my buddies from NS during weekends ^^ yay me!! Based on what they have told me, they're having the most mundane life ever experienced there oO

Cheer up guys, I heard that after a few weeks time, NS will start to get more lively. One of my closest buddy, Tzu Shian, says that the sky in sabah is filled with beautiful bright stars. Hope I can get some pics of it when he comes back xD

The last time I've seen the sky full of stars is when I was in india years ago. Unfortunately I was too young to be awed by its beauty >.>

In an unrelated topic, i was invited by my friend, Gibien, to his church for an event. Wei li, his cousin and eow tagged along. I loved the street percussion performance, it was so cool and upbeat. The worship songs were awesome too xD

Even though i had 4 missed calls and a message from my dad, i don't really mind him scolding me (which he didn't, mind you) cuz i had one of the most exciting night in my life.

Happy CNY

2010-02-14T17:04:00.008+08:00

Today i went to my grandma's house to celebrate CNY, and every year we get to see a lion dance. However, one day before the celebration, me and my bros had to clean the house first.

The cleaning was kinda backbreaking, but it was quite different from what i usually do so it's interesting.

Here are some pics during the CNY and lion dance, no video unfortunately (i pressed the play button wrongly T.T). All of these were hand crafted and decorated by my grandma, she has a talent for these kind of things, and cooking, and body health knowledge lolz.

Here are some of her works:

~The orange isn't real

~I had to give my grandparents some tea, otherwise no ang pau T.T

~A very big (fake) candle

~A very big china pot
~Those plants are not easy to be twisted,
those fish have eyes ><

~Ooh.. pretty lights ><

~T.T sob, why did i press the play button wrongly?
no more video of the lion dance, sobs

~bow down to me muahahaha ><

~bow down to me some more muahahaha

~cool stance

~hey, you're bowing down at the wrong direction!!

And here's a vid of me cleaning the front porch: me and my bros had to help clean her house.

I'm gonna get my license

2010-01-26T20:55:00.004+08:00

I went to batu caves at 12 today for my driving exam. The exam starts at 1:30 so me and my friend, eow, had to wait for a while. I was a little nervous at first, but the immense boredom sorta cured it.

We had to do bahagian 2 first ( slope, parking and 3 point turn), then proceed on to bahagian 3 (on-the-road). For the slope test, we are given 2 chances, but i passed it the first time. So i went on to parking, which was alright until when i wanted drive out of parking space. The clutch couldn't move to gear 1 T.T so scary. I tried moving the gear around and then finally i got it, but i lost some time there.

After that I went straight to the 3 point turn and passed it with ease. Once i finished bahagian 2 I had to get my results from the exam instructor. Amazingly, i scored 20/20 lolz.

Then it was on to bahagian 3. I did all the neccesary steps and drove out, but i forgot to shift to gear 2 until the instructor told me =.=. In a nutshell, i was slow but i managed to score 17/20 in my bahagian 3 so I'm going to get license in a few days, yay!!

E-major activity

2010-01-19T23:03:00.003+08:00

Last friday, I went to a course called e-major discovery pro. As the name suggests, it provides us training on how to handle life and well, discover ourselves.

I had fun, but I was one of the few people who never "expressed" themselves yet. Not really my kind of thing actually, but who knows, i could have been different if I did expressed myself.

The course lasted 3 days, but I went there and back for the 3 days cuz apparently those who were from out of state could stay over night.

The activities were alright, but I didn't like the business company budget planning, not my cup of tea. I met some very interesting people back there, learnt more about human communication.

For the personality test, from the four personas, I got the last one "D" which is not bad if i say so myself. From the ten faces of innovation on the other hand, i got 9 "anthropologist" which basically is:

􀂉 Practice the principle of ‘beginner’s mind’.

􀂉 Embrace human behavior.

􀂉 Draw inferences by listening to their intuition.

􀂉 Seek out epiphanies (sense of ‘déjà vu’).

􀂉 Keep ‘idea wallets’.

􀂉 Search for clues in the trash bin.

"Anthropologists" manage to get people to talk about themselves, enjoys being with and amongst people, asks probing questions and projects a non-threatening image.

Non-stop action

2010-01-13T22:10:00.003+08:00

Tomorrow, I'm going to hit the wheels again. I stalled a few times already, i don't want to stall again this time. Anyways, i already did moving, stopping, turning, reversing, parking, three point turn, on-the-road. All is left is the uphill stopping. The instructor thought me how when i was on-the-road, but the steps are scary....... real scary.

So after tomorrow, I'm going to a sorta camp-like activity for 3 days. To and fro, 3 days, the horror.
It's supposed to help me choose my career or something like that. I hope it's worth it, since I went through all the trouble to sign up.

Then after the 3 days, I'm going to wil wil's B'day (sunday). I told him to wear his birthday suit, but he didn't quite understand. Oh well, somethings are better left unknown =]

Driving exam

2010-01-12T15:06:00.003+08:00

I took the undang test already, got 49/50. Nothing to brag about, the computer exam is an exact copy of the exercise book.

So after that I'm going for the real driving exam on 26th of january, i think it's too fast but my instructor said I'll be ready on that day. Even my dad is surprised. Hopefully I'll pass.

The End is the Starting

2009-12-12T22:10:00.003+08:00

I'm so hyped, going to try to chiong for at least a credit in my BC paper >.<
Some people are asking me why I took BC, some are actually surprised I took BC.

Weird~ (not really hehe)

Once that's over, it'll be the starting of my voyage in life wakakaka.

Not that keen on it though, but everyone's growing up so I will too

Paintball shoot out!!

2009-11-01T19:37:00.001+08:00

I haven't posted in a loooooooooooooong time sry ^.^. Anyways, I went paintballing last year with my bros while my dad took pics and videos of us.

I'm the funny guy on the right lol o.O.

Before we had to do any shooting, we were briefed on the rules and regulations of this sport (yawn.....).

But I realized that the paintball is actually very very hard, and if it hits it's gonna leave some nasty marks, ouch.

Moving on, we quickly suited up for some shooting action. The usual paintball outfit is: the helmet, the vest, shoulder pads, knee pads and of course the paintball gun. Here are some vids of the war going on in the battle zone.

Well, this video is of my bro playing

T.T sob I look so funny in these 2 vids, I'm feel humiliated to upload them.

It may not look like it, but the paintball gun is really heavy.

Haiz, I'm cowering in the face of the enemy T.T

Making a come back

2009-07-13T15:03:00.053+08:00

Hi, it's been a while since I've posted anything here..... and I'm still not sure what to post so I'll just randomly post some Kingdom hearts organization XIII info- enjoy~ ( I do not own any of these materials nor am I promoting it, these info's are taken from KH wiki.com)

Organization XIII is a group of thirteen powerful Nobodies and Xion (who is a Replica) who seek to reclaim their hearts and become whole again. They are the antagonists of Kingdom hearts: Chain of memories (PS2, GBA) and Kingdom Hearts II (PS2), KH II Final Mix (PS2) , and all are playable in the game Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (NDS) which happens after Roxas' birth.

Ranks within the Organization have little to nothing to do with power. While Xemnas, is the strongest as well as the leader, the rest fall in the order they joined. As the group's name describes, one would assume that there are a total of thirteen members. Until the announcement of 358/2 Days, this was true. Besides having a numerical rank, each member also has an assigned title. The only exception to this is Xemnas, who, if anything else, is called "The Superior". The ranks and titles are as follows:

I-Xemnas; "The Guide to the Interstice;" Controlled Sorcerers, used the attribute of Nothingness and weapons called aerial blades.

"I'm creating a brand new world, one heart at a time."

II-Xigbar; "The Freeshooter;" Controlled Snipers, used the attribute of Space and gun arrows.

"Have you been a good boy? Oh, it sounds like you haven't!"

III-Xaldin; "The Whirlwind Lancer;" Controlled Dragoons, used the attribute of Wind and six dragon-themed ginsu (a type of lance).

"Feed your anger. Only anger can make you strong!"

IV-Vexen; "The Chilly Academic;" used the attribute of Ice and a tower shield. .

"I'm a scientist. Experiments are what I do, yes."

V-Lexaeus; "The Silent Hero;" used the attribute of Earth and a giant tomahawk.

"I, Lexaeus, will not yield to the frail heart of an infantile coward!"

VI-Zexion; "The Cloaked Schemer;" used the attribute of Illusion, and a lexicon (which is the Greek term for "dictionary").

"Then I shall make you see...That your hopes are nothing. Nothing but a mere illusion!"

Spoiler alert: The first 6 organization members including Xemnas were Nobodies of the people working under Ansem The Wise, the leader of the group being Xehanort (Ansem's apprentice). Although Ansem discontinued his research, the other six continued their dangerous experiments and this lead to the discovery of Heartless. And when a king named Mickey arrived, the six men's desire for knowledge eventually caused Xehanort to abandon his body, becoming a Heartless (though he was unusual in that he had a human form and retained his memories), with the other five soon following. Thus, the first six members of Organization XIII were born, and they banished Ansem to a realm of nothingness.

VII-Saïx; "The Luna Diviner;" Controlled Berserkers, used the attribute of Moon, and a claymore.

"Pitiful Heartless, mindlessly collecting hearts, and yet they know not the true power of what they hold. The rage of the Keyblade releases those hearts. They gather in darkness, masterless and free... Until they weave together to make Kingdom Hearts!"

VIII-Axel; "The Flurry of Dancing Flames;" Controlled Assassins, used the attribute of Fire and twin chakram.

"My show now, Keyblade master. Who am I? Oh, my name's Axel. Got it memorized?"

IX-Demyx; "The Melodious Nocturne;" Controlled Dancers, used the attribute of Water and a sitar.

"Oh, we do too have hearts. Don't be mad."

X-Luxord; "The Gambler of Fate;" Controlled Gamblers, used the attribute of Time as well as cards and dice.

"I'd rather we just skip the formalities."

XI-Marluxia; "The Graceful Assassin;" used the attribute of Flowers and a scythe.

"As lightless oblivion devours you, drown in the ever-blooming darkness!"

XII-Larxene; "The Savage Nymph'" used the attribute of Lightning and several throwing knives.

"More pain for you means more fun for me!"

XIII-Roxas; "The Key of Destiny;" Controlled Samurai, used the attribute of Light and wielded up to three different Keyblades (due to being Sora's Nobody). He initially wielded the Kingdom Key but soon acquired the Oathkeeper and Oblivion, which represents Kairi and Riku, respectively.

"Why did the Keyblade choose me? I have to know."

XIV-Xion; used the attribute of Light and the Kingdom Key Keyblade. Although she is considered part of the Organization, she is not a Nobody. She is an imperfect replica of Sora created from his leaked memories.

"Who am I?"

SPM!!!!!

2009-01-15T22:07:00.000+08:00

Haiz....... Because of SPM, I'll be updating less often than usual, but their all boring anyways =.= have a wonderful exam year everybody.

Are you nice?? If not, then follow these tips ^.^ if not, then you're cruel ~.~

2008-12-23T12:50:00.001+08:00

Have you always thought " Hey, I'm nice!! But wtf, why are these people always treating me so badly T.T I was always nice to them. " Well, I can't help you there just yet, but what I can do is give you pointers on how to BE nice.

Always smile ^.^, even if you're having a bad hair day. It won't help by saying " I'm in a bad mood today, it's your fault!! " That gets really annoying. Smiling at people also helps them feel good about themselves! People will want to talk to you more.

Be positive. Usually when somebody asks you something, give a positive answer, not a between the Yes/No answer, or beat around the bush. And don't give a negative answer too.

" Try to talk " This is what our counselling teacher would say. Strike a conversation with somebody, introduce yourself, and ask them about your day. Before you know it, you'll have a good social link with people in no time.

Express your opinions and suggestions. This is a basis for employees who wants to get a promotion and a raise. When you give out suggestions, it shows people that you care for that certain something, people will look up to you as a leader. Don't be afraid of contradicting anybody, just let it out. That person would be a fool if he hates you for giving an opinion, That GUY doesn't deserve to be a friend.

Never backstab or backbite. Even if you're closest friends does someting bad that you hate, it doesn't do any good to talk bad about them, it gives the listener an impression that you are not an honourable guy. Backstabbing just mean and uncivilized.

Don't lose your temper. Be patient, It's hard, I know. Try this, if you're standing, then sit, If you're sitting then lie down. Drink a glass of cold water and count from one to ten.

Be nice to " uncool " people. There are a lot of people who, unfortunately, may not be so handsome or smart or are ugly. It will make people really touched, that you care for these kind of people. God made us all destined for good things in the future, but it all depends on themselves. You're a fool if you think that you are too " good " or " smart " to hang out with these " Low class " people.

Finally, and most importantly, be yourself. But, remember to be courteous and civilized as well.

Is being fun to be with easy??

2008-11-29T17:31:00.002+08:00

Most people like being around fun individuals. It's just human nature. People who are fun are usually quite popular among their friends, have good social lives and are rarely bored. To be one of them, is actually quite hard. But who says you have to be like them? try being yourself and start things one at a time, you have time.

Listen. Fun people don't do all the talking when it comes to conversations. Good conversations are crucial when you want to be a likable person, and sometimes you just have to be quiet and listen.

Smile and laugh. Laugh because people like people who laugh with them (not at them). This makes people happy and brightens the way they think of you.Be a happy person, not ditsy and uncaring, but optimistic.

Make eye contact. This is very important because it makes people feel like they have all of your attention, you are listening, interested in what they have to say and they are getting the attention that they deserve

Be active. In order to be fun to be with, you need to be active, to stand up, to be creative. Maybe do a "happy dance" when something good happens,

Be curious. Know what you'll be doing later. If you get turned down or rejected, move on. You never know what's going to happen until you try.

Care about yourself. In order to be a fun person, you must be confident.

Be sociable and friendly. In order to be fun to be with, you'll need to build some new relationships so people start noticing you.

Be spontaneous. Everyone likes a person who can keep things interesting. Have fun with things, be lighthearted. No one likes boredom, or to feel like nothing new ever happens.

Don't be afraid to really go out there! If you are afraid of people thinking you are weird, strange, etc., just think of the bright side. You don't need them, and hey! you're trying to meet new people anyway, so it will take your mind off the negatives.Plus who cares about what anyone else thinks. Don't let anyone label you. Be who you want to be and don't be afraid to be yourself. People hate phonies!! So go out there and rock the real you.

Know your limits, and let other people know those limits too.

Do you like making friends?

2008-11-15T16:24:00.002+08:00

Have you found yourself pondering how to make that new person in your life be friends with you? Want to get closer and demonstrate your support, loyalty and love to your mates? And in the process, show your pals how you would like to be treated, too?

Are you trying to be friends with someone to be accepted into a certain group, or because you'd like to get to know someone else that he or she knows? that is not friendship, it's taking advantage of people.

Every new person you meet has the right to be accepted (or not) on his or her own merits, its better to just be yourself than let anyone else influence you into being someone you are not.

Be honest. A dishonest person has no chance of having true friends. Keep your promises, do what you say you are going to do, and most importantly, don't lie! Lying leads to more lies, and people will eventually figure you out.

If you did lie, confess to him and hope he forgives you, even though you know it'll hurt him.These are what friends do, so don't worry.

Be loyal. If your friend tells you something in confidence, don't blab about it to anyone else. Don't talk about your friend behind his/her back.

Nobody likes a backstabber!! Don't let others say bad things about your friend until you've had a chance to hear your friend's side of the story.

Be respectful. Things you guys discuss should be treated with care - your friend is not sharing this information with just anyone, and may not want to. He shared it with you - and only you.

Watch his back. Take notes for your friend and give them their homework when they're absent and sick at home. Visit them. If he is in trouble or going to get into one, get in there and advice him on what he should not be doing.

Pitch in for friends during times of crisis, don't let him do something that will ruin his life. If your friend is going through a crisis though, it's best to not tell them everything is going to be all right if it's not going to be.

Don't judge your friend, but do advise to stay out of situations where they may harm themselves or others. Tell him/her how you perceive his/her situation, and what you might do in the same circumstances.

Don't be offended if they listen to your advice and then decide to ignore it. Your friend must make his or her own decisions. Avoid saying "You should...".

Give your friend space. Understand if he/she wants to be alone or hang out with other people. Allow it to happen. There's no need to become clingy or needy.

Never make a promise you know you can't keep. Good friendship is based on trust - if you break a friend's trust, the friendship may be very hard to salvage.

Of course, if you have made a promise and planned to keep it, but circumstances beyond your control conspire to prevent it, let your friend know as soon as you find out.

Listen to them. you don't have to agree with them - just listen to what they have to say. Make sure they are talking too and you are not just running your mouth. Some people don't really find it interesting listening to someone talk about their feelings 24/7.

Don't abuse their generosity or "wear out your welcome" If your friend does something nice for you, then reciprocate. Money doesn't have to be an issue.

Don't use your friends! Don't let them pay every time you go out, even if they offer. Don't help yourself to things at their house without asking, unless you are willing and they do the same at your house.

Also, if you end the friendship then you should return any gifts they bought for you, especially if they gave you any gifts under false pretences. It's proper etiquette.

Live by the golden rule. Always treat a friend as you would want to be treated. If you don't there will be repercussions. Don't do or say anything to them that you wouldn't want done to you.

Be there for them through thick and thin as long as they are a TRUE friend to you. Also learn to forgive, and apologize. Don't be a brat!

Make sure your friend doesn't have to spend a birthday alone. You can hold a party for them (even a surprise party if you can keep a secret) or take them out to dinner and pay for their meal.
Have fun. It's not all about bleeding hearts and advice to the lovelorn - or at least, it shouldn't be. Decorate your friend's locker on his or her birthday, have a spa party, host a sleepover, whatever. Join activities with them.
You don't have to spend a lot of money to be a good friend. The best gifts are often hand-made and come from the heart.
Don't set too many expectations and rules. That's just trapping others in your dimension.
Allowing your friendship to evolve and change naturally is really best - it allows your friend to be as unique and individual as you are, and for both of you to enjoy one another in that light.
If someone is in any difficulty and he/she behaves in a way that's very hurtful to you, then don't be angry and try to understand their problems.
Don't be needy and greedy by taking up all your friend's time. This could get extremely annoying and irritating. He/she will WANT to get rid of you if you become needy. Relax and trust in your friendship, and allow each other the freedom to be with each other, or with others, or just alone.If your friend doesn't treat you the same way, get rid of them.
If you treat them well, there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't expect the same treatment. Don't stay with a friend who doesn't treat you well.
Give them a hug. You are friends, not strangers, after all. Just stay honest, but upbeat and positive. Even a stranger would most probably appreciate it.

Think you know what is cool? think again!!

2008-11-15T16:09:00.000+08:00

Have you always wanted to be the cool guy, who always seems to do the right thing? Or are you dying to be the cool girl, If you think about all the people who you think of as cool, you'll find that they have several characteristics in common: they're all confident, unique, and on friendly terms with everyone. There's no reason you can't be like that yourself.

Act like you don't care about what others think. We will always, on some level, be concerned with others' opinions of ourselves, but realize that ultimately, you will never be able to please everyone, so why bother trying?

Be aware of how people perceive you. What you are really doing is learning how to better perceive yourself. In terms of physical appearance, beware of food getting stuck in your teeth, bad breath, body odor. Try not to stare too much (it makes people uncomfortable), stand/sit up straight (it makes you look and feel more confident), smile generously,be polite and considerate.

Find real friends . For example, if people don't hang out with you because you don't wear designer clothes, they are not real friends. If the people standing in front of you can't see you for you, then how can they be your friend?

Don't be afraid to be different, whether that means standing up for yourself, defending someone else, or taking interest in something that no one else does. The coolest people are the ones who occasionally break against the tide and make people question the status quo.

Cool people say what they mean, and mean what they say. Be confident in your word and don't let anyone try and change it. If you state your opinion and people disagree, don't worry. You said what you felt and people will respect you for that, unless you use it knowing it will offend someone.

Change your attitude--if you have a negative attitude change it. Cool people always have a positive attitude. No one likes a negative person. When people get to know you and see that you always have a positive look on things even when things are not going your way, they will enjoy your company.

There is no textbook definition of cool. Some people may think it's cool to have drugs or drink and drive etc.
Don't base your coolness on making others seem uncool. You'll make more enemies than friends that way. People aren't going to worship someone who bosses or beats them around all the time. They'll be scared maybe, but they won't respect you.
Don't lose sight of yourself or your morals. Being cool isn't about changing who you are, its about being confident enough to let people see how awesome you really are.
Being cool can be a challenge. A lot of people who aren't cool can slow your path to coolness down. So if something puts you in a bad mood, it's good to have reminders of your end goal of being awesomely cool. Also if your mood distracts you enough for you to forget your end goal reminders can help you stay positive.
You get the coolest by staying cool the longest. Practice makes perfect.
If you are accepting of others and include people, others will be attracted to your level of confidence of socializing and thus consider you cool to hang around with.

Complete makeover

2008-11-06T13:40:00.001+08:00

It's going to take a while but I'm going to do a complete makeover on my blog, hope you all will like it. Btw I couldn't online for so long cuz of exam so didn't update anything

Be yourself

2008-10-10T12:42:00.003+08:00

It's quite possibly the most commonly used phrase in the history of advice: Be yourself. But it's such a vague adage. What do they really mean when they tell you to be yourself? And is it really as easy as it sounds? ( well, the answer is no, you have to some effort into this )

You can't be yourself if you don't know, understand, and accept yourself first. Try to take time to yourself and contemplate on your life and choices. Try to think about what kind of things you would or wouldn't like to do, and act naturally; finding out through trial and error helps more than you might think it does. You can even take personality tests, but be careful to only take what you want from them and not let them define you. Work on accepting mistakes and choices you've made; they're done and in the past, so there is no use crying over spilled milk, or blaming others for it.

Tips~There's a difference between being yourself and being rude. You might have your opinions, dreams, and preferences, but so does everyone else. You shouldn't disrespect people who disagree with you; they have the privilege of being themselves just as you do.

Stop caring about how people perceive you. The fact is, it really doesn't matter. It's impossible to be yourself when you're caught up in wondering "Do they think I'm funny? Does she think I'm fat? Do they think I'm stupid?" To be yourself, you've got to let go of these concerns and just let your behavior flow, with only your consideration of others as a filter—not their consideration of you. Besides, if you change yourself for one person or group, another person or group may not like you, and you could go around in a vicious cycle trying to please people; it's totally pointless in the end. However, if someone you trust and respect critiques aspects of who you are, feel free to judge (honestly) whether or not it is accurate instead of dismissing the critique automatically or accepting it indefinitely. But don't go to overboard and make them cry, that's a definite no no =.=

You must also be honest.What have you got to hide? We're all imperfect, growing, learning human beings. If you feel ashamed or insecure about any aspect of yourself—and you feel that you have to hide those parts of you, whether physically or emotionally—then you have to come to terms with that and learn to convert your so-called flaws into individualistic quirks. Be honest with yourself, but don't beat yourself up; apply this philosophy to others, as well. There is a difference between being critical and being honest; learn to watch the way you say things to yourself and others when being honest. Btw don't think that others do not know that you are hiding things from them, it'll only make things worst, trust me!!

Relax. Stop worrying about the worst that could happen, especially in social situations. So what if you fall flat on your face? Or get spinach stuck in your teeth? Learn to laugh at yourself both when it happens and afterwards. Turn it into a funny story that you can share with others. It lets them know that you're not perfect and makes you feel more at ease, too. It's also an attractive quality for someone to be able to laugh at themselves and not take themselves too seriously!

Tips~As the famous song goes, "Life's not worth a damn until you can say, I am what I am" - when you can sincerely say it, you will know that you can be yourself.( Don't ask me what song this is, cuz I also don't know =.= )

Whether it's your sense of style, or even your manner of speaking, if your preferred way of doing something strays from the mainstream, then be proud of it... unless its destructive to yourself or others. Be a character, not a type.

Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and that some days, you're the statue. People might raise eyebrows and even make fun, but as long as you can shrug and say "Hey, that's just me" and leave it at that, people will ultimately respect you for it, and you'll respect yourself.

Believe in who you are. If you're always working to be someone you're not, you'll never be a happy person. Be yourself and show the world you're proud of the way you are! Nobody knows you better than you and that's how it should be. You deserve to be your own best friend, so start trying to figure out how you can do that. If you had to hang out with yourself for a day, what is the most fun type of person you could be, while still being yourself? What is the best version of you? Believe in this idea and use that as your starting point.

Tips~ If fads or trends strike your fancy, don't avoid them! Being yourself is all about reflecting who you are inside in what you do, and what you like is what you like, no matter how trendy it is ( or not trendy, for that matter! ) If you don't agree with someone's opinion, you don't need to argue their point or be rude about it, and don't just act like you agree either because then you would be acting falsely.

Even if you are interested in something that doesn't interest most people, don't be afraid or hide it; stand up and show your true inner self. People will know how confident you are. But not literally, you'll only embarass yourself if not praised for your courage.Don't worry about anything but being yourself and living life to the fullest!

Warnings!! Must beware =.= beware!!!

Just because you don't care about how people perceive you doesn't mean you shouldn't be aware of it, especially in situations where being yourself might be misinterpreted. For example, you might enjoy being friendly and flirtatious, but in some cultures, that might be perceived as a sexual invitation, and you could get yourself in trouble.
Don't lose yourself when you're with other friends. Be yourself. Don't be someone else so other people will like you; in the end, you would end up hurting other people and losing yourself.
Don't think that being yourself means that you cannot change who you are. You want to be a person that you can be proud of, so if there is some way you can improve yourself, go for it. Don't allow your shortcomings to discourage you, but don't ignore them either.
Make sure that you can show the same "you" to everyone consistently. If you feel the need to be secretive about something wrong you've done, you are not really being yourself; it will show and misunderstandings will occur. Do what's right. You cannot truly be yourself unless you can face yourself.
Keep in mind that 'being yourself' is not always the right thing to do. Would you tell a despicable person to just be himself and not change a thing? No. Most of the time when people in general perceive you a certain way, it means you don't fit in to your society. Whether you want to fit in or not is up to you, but you are only setting yourself up for trouble when you neglect society's ways. (That is, unless you decide to live in a cave for the rest of your life.)
Nobody is perfect. However, if you are outrageously flawed (for example, have a short temper) then you should look into some self-improvement rather than ignoring everyone's cues and 'being yourself.' Don't deny yourself of the truth by saying it's everyone else's problem and not yours. You'll only be hurting yourself in the long run.
While you're being you, remember that 'you' might have your flaws that might need to be changed-but only for the better (materialistic things/personality do not count, such as your favorite bag that everybody ridicules, or if you talk quietly). Goals and bad Habits count. Say, you have bad acne and you've been stressing on it for a while. Don't say 'well, 'I' have bad acne, and I want to be myself.. so i'll give up on getting rid of it.' or if you have some bad habits, don't say 'it's apart of me, that's the way it is.' because you can still change yourself, but for the better and in ways which will make you grow.

A fresh new look.

2008-10-03T13:32:00.005+08:00

I've customized my Blog, and gave it a free new look. Like it, there were other templates that are actually better looking than this one. But you know me (I think) I usually go for the lesser types first.

Anyways, on Hari Raya. Tzu shian, Kin Jun and I went to Jusco to watch 2 movies. The first is "Eagle Eye", from 11.20 a.m to about 1.30 p.m. Later the next hour, at 2.00 p.m we watched "Painted Skin".

I'll give "Eagle Eye" two thumbs up for its suspense and seemingly never-ending surprises. I highly recommend you guys to watch it if you haven't. Since the music was very loud in the theatre, during the scenes where there are sudden explosions, I could see Ts and Jun Jun got caught off guard and jumped a few times. It was quite funny.

"Painted Skin" also prooves to be an ecxeptionable film with a good blend of mythology, comedy, fantasy, horror, action, and of course the main theme-romance. The theme song " Painted heart" by Jane Zhang is pretty nice to hear if not strange.

Oh well, I guess that's all I have to Blog about. Next time, I'm gonna put more interesting things in my Blog, Believe it!! ^.^

New Commenting system !! And a whole lot more!!

Party!!!!

2008-09-14T21:19:00.005+08:00

Well, the party was alright but not what I had expected, plus it was a bit saddening T.T The guests arrived at 12.00, the latest one was Yoke Wei-at 1.00.

But the one who was really late came at 2.45. Since we could not really wait for him we as we were watching Liar Game Tournament, so we started eating the meal my g.mother prepared which was delicious.

But I wonder sometimes, how does she put fish in the chicken and make the lai chee jelly in the shape of a fish. My grandmama is a prodigy in culinary arts.

Anyways, after that we ate chocolate cake and started playing scavenger hunt. The loser was C.Y.L so the punishment is to wear womens shoes. But C.Y.L's feet was too big =.= so he had to wear the boots.

Soon after that, we played Ps2. First we tried naruto for a few hours then we tried Basara 2. The last person to go home was yoke wei. But after they went back, I was quite dissapointed. Only 5 people wished me a happy birthday T.T including my best friend, but he forgot at first and then remembered later on at night.

This is all I have to say for tonight, so Tata.

Sivik project!!

2008-09-14T20:48:00.010+08:00

Last saturday, me, Ts, Yen, Wz and Wl went to frim to do our sivik project. Before we left, I was riding my bicycle from shop to shop to buy some batteries for the camera. I finally got some at 7-eleven.

By the time I reached Ts's house I could see Wesley coming already. So much for trying to take a rest in the house =.= Then we left for Frim. Once we reached our destination, Wl's mom was kind enough to pay the entrance tickets.

( Is Yen eating something? )

After that, we went to the information center and got a poorly photocopied map of the area. Then, we set off on our jungle trekking. When we went there I took some pictures of some giant dragon fishes.

( Strange beehive )

( Is this a map? Looks more like a photostat copy )

( The nice pond with horrifyingly giant Dragon Fishes =.= )

( Nice red flowers near the information centre )

Before we started jungle trekking, we first went to a nearby football field to have some lunch that Wesley brought over. Some kind off honey comb bread with pork in it.

( Big football field !! )

( Just taking a stroll )

( Oi, the ants are stealing my meal!! )

( Nice ? )

( Just looking at the map )
( Oi, Ts!! concentrate!!! )

( I had to look up to get this pic )

The first time we followed the trail, we went the wrong way. Poor Ts, his feet was badly bitten by tons of mosquitoes. Plus I forgot to take my insecticide, luckily I didn't really get bitten. Can't say the same for Ts though.

( Just taking some notes )

( scary T.T )

( super scary )

( Dragon Fly )
( Not a real railway )
( Super big sugar canes!! )
( sugar canes )

The second time we went in, we made sure we took the right track. While on the way, we met some foreigners who told us take the other route to watch the swirling vines. The vines looked swirly and connected from one tree to the other.

( Full of mosquitoes )

The next stop on the map was a must see spot but try as we might, we couldn't make out what was so special about the place. So we took the trail on the right to see the rock that looks like an elephant.

( here's our 9th contestant!! )

After watching it, we turned back and went on the next trail. We passed the same spot and Wl asked what was so special about this place, then it hit me! I thought of somehting about the place and looked up and pointed upwards. To our amazement, we saw the trees on top that made a leaf vein-like pattern, it was so cool. The trees were close together but the leaves didn't touch the leaves from the other tree, forming that pattern. I also took some pics of a lizard too.( swirling vines )

( cool!! )

( Look up )
( I saw this just by chance )
( some kind of rubber tree )
( I think I can live in here )

Anyways, we followed the trail until we reached the rover tracks and then we decided to head up to the canopy walk. We went quite a distance until we saw a mini waterfall, so we went down. After I found out that there was no more road we climbed back up, but Wl almost slipped down and Ts scratched his foot.

( Is this how does a baby millipede looks like? )

( hey, there are people down there !! )
( nice creeks )
( ooh, swirly )

After reaching the end of the rover trail, we went back and come out of the forest. We waited for Wl's mom to fetch us to KFC to have our lunch. When we finished our meal, Wz exclaimed that he had to go to tuition and left, Yen left too.

We on the other hand went to the photoshop and printed the photos we needed which cost RM4
. Ts also bought 2 Ps2 games. That is, Devil May Cry 3-special edition(very fun one) and Rainbow 6-lockdown(not fun one).

Before me and Ts tested it, we played a little Resident evil 4 and got the magnum-Broken Butterfly. After that we tried DMG and it was super fun, I loved using gunslinger style to fight, so cool. There was also Trickster, Swordmaster and Royalguard style. we'll be getting Doppelganger and Quicksilver style later in the game.

I hightailed it back home at 6.45 to have my dinner and make preparations for tomorrows birthday party. So tata.

Friends

2008-09-04T13:42:00.011+08:00

"Friends" they're the ones that will follow you through thick and thin to help you out.We all have friends right ?But the question is who are our friends.There are lots of people out there who think that friends are just mere trusts to keep you safe and sound.If you're that kind of person then you won't have much friends.

Anyways,there are lots of kinds of friends.For example,childhood friends.These are the kind of friends whom you've known since preschool or primary school.If all goes well then by the time you're in secondary school you guys will become buddies.

Buddies are the one who tops your phone listings.Everyone hears what you say,even your friends listen to what you say,but your best friends listen to what you don't say.get it ? Remember, we all stumble, all of us do. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand.

Here are some best friends quotes,enjoy:

"People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within." ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross~

"If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I would not follow, I would be at the bottom to catch them when they fall."
~Source Unknown~

"A true friend is someone who knows there's something wrong even when you have the biggest smile on your face."
~Source Unknown~

"Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light."
~Helen Keller~

“The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.”
~Unknown~

"It is by chance we met . . .
By choice we became friends."
~Unknown~

“When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there.”

~Unknown~

“Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait to hear the answer” ~Unknown~

“How lucky I am to have known someone who was so hard to say goodbye to” ~Unknown~

Here's a nice poem to go with the quotes, enjoy (again>.<) :

You're...
My Friend,
my companion,
through good times and bad
my friend, my buddy,
through happy and sad,
beside me you stand,
beside me you walk,
you're there to listen,
you're there to talk,
with happiness, with smiles,
with pain and tears,
I know you'll be there,
throughout the years!
Together forever, never apart.
Maybe in distance, but never in heart.
Tears may come and go,
But there's one thing I know.
All my life you're a friend of mine.
You can depend on me.
I'll be fine...
'Cause you're a friend of mine.

But!!!Heed this warning "It takes years to build up trust, and just seconds to destroy it." ~Source Unknown~

Oh yeah, I forgot two more quotes,they're my favorite ones:
I'm saving this one for my best friend^.^

"Promise you won't forget me, because if I thought you would, I'd never leave."
~Winnie the Pooh~

“One can't complain. I have my friends. Why, someone spoke to me only yesterday.” ~Eeyore~

All american boyz chorus

2008-08-22T16:50:00.005+08:00

Last month( though it maybe is a liitle too late to wright about this,but it's too special =.= ),since my dad is currently elected to be the MMA (Malaysia Medical Association) chairman for 2007-2008 ( yipee!! ),he was invited to watch this event that took place in sentul at some fancy place,but I can't seem to remember the name of it sry.

Anyways,he brought my family along as well.The place was kinda big,and so was the invitation ticket (about the size of an A5 paper).The place was like a cinema except there wasn't a giant screen,there was a stage.

We first had to listen to the hosts speech.After that we were introduced to the Kuala Lumpurs Girlz and Boyz choir.They sounded quite nice,not bad.But sry to say they were no match for the all american boys chorus.

The boys are all american,there were chinese boyz there too but they're american,cool man!!!

some of them looked cute while a few others seemed too tall for they're age.they are kids but are much taller than me T.T

The choir group first sang the american's national anthem,then they sang some other familiar songs like "The Lion King","Toy Story" and strangely enough "Muo Li Hua".Yup, they can sing chinese!! except for words like "di" they sang "De".But all-in-all they weren't half bad.

The conductor was also quite pro,not like the host.he talked and conducted so well,like we weren't there,I can tell he wasn't afraid of stage fright.Anyways,the show lasted for a few hours and then we went home.Sry but I wasn't allowed to take out my phone out so I'll update the photos I got of the place some other time so Tata.

Shout Out!!!!

2008-08-16T09:56:00.004+08:00

Ok,now I've created a Shout Box for you guys to post your comments,hope you enjoy>.<

Japanese kids (I think)

2008-08-14T15:11:00.006+08:00

Wow,on 21st of October, there'll be 60 japanese kids coming to our school, and the teacher wants 60 of us to greet.Our teacher will be choosing the 60 students and she wants those that are capable of handling the japanese.

Anyways,we're going to have our last exam near the end of October too!!But this time I'm making sure that I'll be the top.Too bad for Ts though,with me around he'll definitely never be number one muahahahahaha!!!!!

A minor setback

2008-08-09T15:29:00.007+08:00

Ok,maybe it's not so minor.It's terrible!!our so called "class monitor" Louis volunteered to purchase the frogs but....you guessed it,we didn't get it on time so our dissection experiment was canceled T.T so sad.

It wasn't until after recess that we got our frogs but it's too late now,just hope the teacher would understand and let us dissect the frogs.If not then the frogs are going to live,hmm.......that's not such a bad thing for them.Maybe we should let them live,they are living things after all.

I should stop brooding about it.Anyways I have a chinese presentation to do next week and I'm not even prepared.Heck,I don't even want to do the stupid thing,it's so bogus.One of my friend had her first presentation done in chinese and she cried while presenting it, the teacher gave her full marks >.<
Eventhough that is a neat topic I know I won't be able to pull it off cause I'm not that emotional,I'm more of a happy go lucky person.Anyways =.= still no pics,I haven't managed to upload them.Not that I have any.

Terrible headache

2008-08-06T15:07:00.009+08:00

Aww man,the first illness I get for my secondary life and it had to be the worst one yet.Maybe it's because I went out for 2 days in a row without resting?or not,who knows.Anyhow I was fine last monday untill I took a 2 hour bath and that's when I started shivering without stopping.Then came the dizziness and I soon found out I had a terribly high fever.

I never noticed how difficult it is to move with a fever,it's quite difficult.Soon after that my muscles started to hurt and my maid then gave me 2 panadols to eat (For reference,panadol is a tablet you eat when you have a fever)That night,my dad came home and gave me some more tablets to eat,but the insomnia cost me a heck of a sleeping time.

Then on tuesday,I had to miss school since I was still ill but at least I was feeling better,until I took a 15 min bath which brought the fever back again=.= but not that bad lah.I just took a nap and I felt much better.On wednesday I was up and ready to go to school but I was late,since I was ill I didn't have to get any punishment>.< Anyways we're going to disect frogs tomorrow for our biology class,I was wondering whether I could bring my sulphuric acid to school and show my best friend how does it dissolve the innards and the skin of the frog (Yuck!!! that's disgusting) too bad I can't bring a cam or it'll be confiscated,but then again I am a prefect so it might not be that difficult for me to bring one to school=.=

Charity night

2008-08-06T14:44:00.008+08:00

Last sunday,I went to rawang to help her with the charity night.Well,I can't really say it's boring,there were different entertainments all around like dances and singing.The problem is, they're all in indian =.= dang it.

I guess that's what I get for being a hybrid,part chinese part indian.We're also referred to as "Chindians",pretty cool huh ? The most interesting part of the entertainments was the fire act by this tiny little man,creepy but true.

If my phone could connect to my com then I would upload it but theres something wrong with my phone,so I guess I'll upload it later.I spent about 6 hours at rawang and I came home at about 10 to 11 p.m.Anyways that's all I have to right for this post for now so till next time.

A mediocre trip to the PC fair

2008-08-03T12:32:00.008+08:00

Me,Ts,Kin Jun and Eow went to KLCC to participate in the 2008 PC fair.At first I had doubts about going for the trip but I went anyways.But the dumbest thing is that I have a 6 o'clock curfew even though my dad's outstation.

The trip was fun I guess,except I got scolding by my friend again.Saying that I'm not being observant enough and that I'm almost deaf T.T so so sad.But hey I guess it was my fault,I'm kinda lame most of the time.

But other than that I guessed the trip was worth it. I forgot to take the cam there so I didn't take any pics, sry =.= anyways we not only went to see the pc fair,we also watched "The Mummy III"

The movie was pretty good and was quite funny,I'd ive it 3 1/2 out of 5.

While we were there,we met up with two other groups from our school.And they bought several stuff from the fair.Me on the other hand,bought nth but food for the whole day.Oh yeah I almost forgot,me and Ts took pictures for the listerine mouth wash ad.Cuz of our brave endeavour we got 4 free tickets to watch "The Mummy III" on sunday =.= so stupid wan.

Haiz.......and here I thought I could come home before 6.00 but of course, things never turn out the way we want to.I returned home one hour late from my designated curfew hour,but luckily I gave an excuse to save my butt.

Ts and Eow went to have dinner somewhere after we came back without me T.T I wonder what did they eat.Stupid curfew,anyways I guess that's all I have to wright for the time being,I'll try to get some pics later so I can put in my Blog.Including a picture of myself but I don't look as cool as in Ts's pics so ugly T.T maybe I should go for a complete makeover, who knows,I might come out looking great.

T.T another sad day

2008-08-01T13:13:00.009+08:00

T.T today is one of the saddest days of my secondary life.Missed 3 periods of my class because of my work and was scolded by my friend again.The hardest part of being scolded is that he's my friend,and I just don't have the heart to scold him back,eventhough the things he said are hurting me.

There are times when I sayed bad things about him but I always resisted myself from getting angry so I always brood all day.This is my life.Anyways,me and some of my friends Wz,Kin Jun,Eow and of course Ts are going to the pc fair tomorrow,but I'm not sure whether I should go anymore.

Cuz I never really had any fun,whenever we go out I was always scolded for being annoying and ruining other people's funT.T sad right ?haiz........always being verbally bullied........T.T

But!! I will never give up,if I work hard enough ,maybe....no I mean there will be a day when he'll accept me for who I really am!!that's a vow!!
(lol I'm so lame,that's not even dramatic)

A First Timer

2008-07-27T09:46:00.003+08:00
