pass on the heat

the weather these days are crazy. it's so freaking hot!! ish. while walking to tsun jin to meet my brother yesterday i was scorched by the blazing sun. sweating like mad while waiting for my mum to pick us up. it was only 10 minutes or so but i was fidgeting by the roadside like a child about to pee. now i know how it feels like to be on the sizzling frying pan. mum says it's the 'chinese new year weather'. somehow it's always super hot as we countdown to the angpau season. we have like another 2 more weeks to cny. how long more can i stand this heat?! i guess my everyday life in the air cond theater/room has caused a huge drop on my heat tolerance level. aircond is a great invention on a hot sunny day. but i'll feel guilty of using it as the chemicals/gases emitted from it contributes to the heat. oh goodness, i need RAIN!! a little precipitation from god in days like these would be a huge blessing to all of us.

catch-up if you can

i wanted to post my pending-for-so-long thailand post first but i don't seem to have the mood to complete it, yet. i don't have the pictures from thailand and apparently a friend of mine said i have too many words in my posts. hence, no pictures = pending post till undue future. if that's a good excuse. but i promise you, it'll come. don't roll your eyes at me, I WILL POST IT!! :P

so it's already the end of january 2010. well, almost. the major happenings of the month :

- my friend is now officially dating my other friend. weird but we all saw that coming, didn't we? wish you guys happiness in the many years to come. just don't make me choose sides when you 2 are on the brink of war. i might just kill both of you.

- i'm gonna miss the myf retreat. not that i don't wanna go, i just can't! had to go back malacca to clean our apartment. mum's orders. dang. it's a really good chance for me to get to know more about the myf-ers. i'm closer with the younger ones but i guess it's time i mix with the older ones as well. someone kidnap me to the retreat pleaseeeeeee.

- i'm undergoing a super HUGE project with someone.can't say much about it so yeah. let's work hard on it together. determination!!

- just started ACCA for a few weeks and i'm starting to hate it already. oh goodness.

- the new car is here!! sold off our kenari for toyota vios. the car was just delivered today. i guess i'm not gonna drive much for now. new car = new toy. parents gonna be super protective over it. me driving = reckless driver = probability of accidents increase up a few notch = definite no no. oh well, it's nice to have people driving me around.

- results are coming out in FEBRUARY!! omggggg. you think taking the exam is stressful. checking your results is wayyyyy more stressful than the exam itself. no joke.

- there were some changes. and more changes to come. there's only 1 thing i have to say, you need to grow up and stop blaming people around you. enough said.

p/s: this is my 2nd post for 2010. slacking much.

EDITED;

- has anyone watched avatar? it's the bomb!! like seriously. those who haven't should just book the tickets right now. go for the 3D version. it's worth every penny. definitely the most outstanding movie of the year. the work crew on avatar set such a high benchmark for the rest, it's gonna be a stressful year for the movie industry. well, competition is good. at least we have high standard movies to look forward to in the near future.

还记得吗

小手拉大手   我们的歌
今天偶然地听到这首歌   感觉上好像是过了好久的事

舞步已经不记得了
歌词也是零零落落地
只记得那个时候的我们  练习得半死
上台前   紧张得半死
下台后   开心得半死

就是这样  一首歌
让我   偶尔想念以前的自己
以前的你们
以前的我们

原来成长是这样的

a week of christmas

this is so overdue. everyone's doing their new year resolutions or recap of 2009 or some sort. and here i am posting about christmas. december has always been the craziest month of the bunch. too many things to do, too little time. albeit all the hassle for christmas, it always leaves me with the best memories. :D

1st stop: caroling!!

out of a sudden cmcckl decided to have a change this year. no more visiting 22 houses in 3 days like we did last year. it's 7 houses in 4 days this year. it was part of the church's plan to boost the attendees of parish groups.

everyone went to datuk tay's house the 1st night. and the remaining 3 days we were split into 2 groups. which means i only sang at 4 houses this year. 4 houses in 4 days. plus all the mad people weren't around to help bring the house down. rachel and peaypei were in australia. valerie and ben were in hongkong. the rest were just too old or busy for caroling. -.- kinda killed my christmas spirit to be honest.

despite it all, we still had a fun time forcing all the food down our throat and singing our hearts out (especially at the last house. last dy marr :P). i just hope next year's caroling will be back like usual. miss those times a lot.

2nd stop: christmas!!

church service was 10 am at chin woo stadium. dad was in charged of parking and mum had rehearsal. so we were there by 8.30am. sleepy sleepy.

valerie that woman wore a dress that day. hahahah. everyone was like 'WOWWWWWWW' and making a whole lot of unrecognizable noises when she walked in. centre of attention yo. ben asked me to wear all black for christmas. so sad right. like funeral only. i thought the stadium would be hot so i didn't. but the air cond was so cold. luckily there's ben, the heat generator. :P

as usual, camwhore camwhore and more camwhore. with dslr some more. woooooooooooot. but i can't seem to find those pictures anywhere. boon ho, upload!!!! :P the highlight of the day was definitely the carolers singing on stage. fun!! only at that moment i could really feel that 'this is christmas!'. kinda ironic isn't it. i could only feel christmas after the church service and caroling and everything.

didn't stay back for christmas luncheon this year. had family gathering over at my aunt's in puchong and another dinner gathering at my cousin's in taman tun later at night. the day before that, christmas eve, we went to dad's old classmates house for a reunion sorta thing. so it's eat eat eat and more eating. i swear i've gained extra weight through the festive. but you must agree with me, what is christmas without turkeys, cheese cakes, shephard pies, salads, carbonara and omg the list is endless. and to think of it chinese new year is only 2 months away = MORE eating!! hahaha. this is part of our chinese culture. so embrace it people.

got loads of presents this year. THANK YOU, LOVES~~

giving is love

all the mega shopping complexes in town will be decorated with trees and reindeers and all sorts nearing december. leisure mall has a really meaningful deco. there's this little gingerbread men with the name and christmas gift requests from the orphans. passersby could read those little requests and if you decide to do some good deed this christmas, you could buy a present, stick the gingerbread man on top of it and place it in the toy bank. the gifts will be given to the child.

little christmas wishes from the children.

a bank of toys. i want. :P

merry christmas.

it's nice to know that in this fast pacing era, there's still people out there willing to stop for a second to give some love and warmth to others.

spread a little love this christmas. afterall, it is the season of giving. :D

near at heart

just to keep you up to date, my torture days are over! couldn't really believe it myself. after T8 i was so relieved, i just wanted to have a big laugh or scream out all the tensions piled up inside of me for the past months. but after T9, which was the real i'm-done-with-exams day, i just felt really tired and hungry and sleepy. excitement all gone. that says a lot about audit doesn't it. it drains the life out of me and when i'm done with it, it feels like i just ran 98374982734271 miles. not sure if i'm gonna pass though.

anyway, now that the study-or-die period is history, it's time to party and laugh like a lunatic.

the plan : lookout point. dinner. breathtaking view. laugh. talk. camwhore.

ended up: traffic jam. gps. 1 car accident. 2 breakdowns. 1U. cake. laugh. talk. camwhore.

awesome plan. but an even more awesome turnout. it was so off our plan but plans are meant to be, well, just plans. what happened the end of the day is more worth remembering. :D

straight after paper T9, liting and i rushed to buy a cake for the belated birthday boy, jy. shen was left behind to buy us time. then mum called and said we couldn't go up lookout point. apparently it was raining like mad in cheras. perfect timing. so changed plan. searched the gps for any good hangouts and somehow we decided on 1U. jammed about an hour to get there. blame the rain and careless drivers. pfft.

went hunting for food once we arrived. chilli's had a longgggg waiting line. so we had our dinner at nando's. we were too hungry to wait for the food so thank goodness for the cake. the waiters saw the cake and wished us happy birthday. not jy but US. he didn't know who to wish so he took the safe side and wished us all. the cake was awesome. food was awesome. but we weren't the fairest judge at that moment. hunger makes everything taste simply yummy.

there were really nice christmas deco in 1U. so *snap snap*-ed all the way. i just love liting's 500D. someone get it for me this christmas!!!!!!!!!!! shen tried the jump shot. jy said it sucked and so he demonstrated. broke a chair in the process. not that it was his 1st. broke 2 in sunway U and now another 1 to be added into his list of vandalism. :P he was pretty sure that the guards were tracking him down. a total paranoid.

jy dropped shen and xinyi home 1st. i then took them up to the hilltop to have a view of kl. the sky was sooo clear after the heavy rain. it was a pity we couldn't go to lookout point. it's even better up there. at least now we know where to go for our next outing. :D

i've always love going out with close friends. even if it's just a simple dinner or drinks at the mamak. we could just laugh and talk about everything. not worrying what's the right thing to say or do. but just being who we are deep down inside. what more to ask in life but friends like these.

i cherish you.

p/s: jy got lost on his way back to sunway. send me home more often to help you remember the way kay?

half done

2 done.

-T6 Financial Statements

-T7 Costing, Management

2 more.

-T8 AUDITTTTTT *omgimsodead*

-T9 Tax

the last 2 days were totally wasted. i was too excited about completing 2 papers that i sorta forgot how tough the next ones are gonna be. shoooooooot. all but myself to be blame. i'm such a hopeless soul.

my motivation to get through it all:

♥ CHRISTMAS!!

♥ pasar malam

♥ makan session

♥ thailand trip

♥ drama-frenzy

hang in there people.

cool breeze ♥

autumn!! :D i've never really experienced it myself before but it has always been my favourite among the rest.

not the sunny hot summer or blooming spring or blindingly white winter. but autumn, with its withered trees and colorful maple leaves.

mum brought back maple leaves from china years back. we wanted to laminate and make them into bookmarks. that was then. now it's all covered with dust. gotta go search for them sometime.

i've always thought autumns are slightly chilly. with winter coming and all. but tim says it snows in autumn. -.- his place had got to be the oddest place in US. or maybe it's the climate change? hmmm.

A WEEK OMGGGG!!

freaking 1 more week left to exams. i need some motivation. really not in the mood to study these days. someone please point a gun to my head. you'll be doing me a favor. a BIG one.

if smiles could kill....

i would be dead by now. thank goodness it just melts you into a puddle of *ermm* something.

the guys would probably feel all gay scrolling through this post. but girls, you had to agree with me that he has a great smile. i definitely have a thing for guys with a dashing smile. :D looking through the pictures sorta reminded me what i liked about him the first place. anyhow, i'm sorry to put you through this. i just had to. blame it all on valerie. that woman had me hyper in the middle of the night.
