Having lived right opposite the playground when I was younger, I did spend a great deal of time there every evening.

One thing I liked and disliked about it were the see-saw's. The problem was that you always needed someone to go with you. So what happens if there are an odd number of kids in the playground that day? Well, either you don't go on the see-saw at all or you had to take turns. Hmph. And even if there was someone to go with you, you had to make sure they weren't too heavy or too light. Otherwise the see-saw wouldn't work out as well.

Once on the see-saw, I loved the going up part. I mean, who doesn't. It was the dreaded coming down part that I disliked, the thump when I would hit the tyre was painful. But then before you knew it, the pain was gone and you'd be on your way up again while the other person would be suffering.

Why am I talking about this? A bit random right? Talking about see-saws.

Well I was thinking how relationships are like see-saws. Yes perhaps not the most original thought but I still wanted to get it out nonetheless.

After all, in relationships, you'd need to find that one person who would just rightly balance you out. That when you've hit the low points in life will be able to bring you back up and vice versa.

Last part of my Paris trip.

As we were leaving in the afternoon, didn't plan much for the day so we had a later start. Checked out, left our luggage and then made our way to Notre Dame.

But not before admiring the snow! Thus my first proper experience with snow is not in Manchester, but in Paris.

Everything was covered in a blanket of white. So pretty =D.

Something that didn't cross my mind was how the snow would affect my trip. Got to Notre Dame obly to find that we couldn't go up the tower due to the snow =(. Major bummer. Going up was suppose to be one of the highlights of my trip cause of the gargoyles.

Change of plans to go to Saint Chapelle instead for the stained glass only to be yet again disappointed. Turns out that it was closed. So instead decided to go for some hot chocolate at La Chalotte de l'isle. Of course it being Paris got slightly distracted on the way by a bird market.

Scary looking chicken.

Pretty red birds.

Finally we got to the island of St. Louis where the hot chocolate was. Most of the shops there were still closed but thankfully the hot chocolate place was open.

Just stepping in you can already smell all the chocolate-y goodness.

The chocolate fondant.

The hot chocolate. Which was seriously rich. It was as if all they did was melt a bar of chocolate into the cup. Definitely recommend sharing it between two people. Perhaps even three if you plan on ordering other things.

So with warm chocolate in our tummies, we made our way back to the hotel to pick up our luggage and say goodbye to Paris.

More like au revoir. Definitely plan on heading back some time in the near future.

safe and sound.

Perhaps this opinion of mine may change when I am put into that situation, but for the moment, I don't see why some people don't like it when their significant other checks out a member of the opposite sex.

After all all they're doing is looking. So if you are afraid that your significant other is gonna leave you and run off just because someone is hot, clearly your relationship needs major strengthening.

It's like saying that if you have a pet dog at home, that you are not allowed to think that other dogs are cute because it might mean that you are gonna give your dog away for a cuter one. What makes the dog yours is not the fact that it is the best looking one out there, but because it has been there for you every time you come home.

So the same goes for relationships. Nothing wrong with admiring the 'view' ;).

deux.

2012-02-08T07:55:00.000+08:00

Okay this is gonna be a lengthy post so bear with me.

Saturday morning started out relatively early, perhaps too early as most shops had yet to open for the day. We did however stumble upon this little antique market on Rue Monge where I was very tempted to buy some rings and necklaces but with a price tag of 40euros for a necklace it was way out of my price range. There were a ton of interesting things such as swords and even this Autobridge playing board.

Wanted to head into

the Pantheon

but got kinda distracted at the market for too long. Headed to the newparistours meeting point at the St. Michel fountain around 11am for their free tour. We had Amanda as our guide for the next 3.5 hours and it turned out to be a very good tour as she was both informative and entertaining.

Saw the Pont des Arts which is where couples go and 'lock' their love and throw away the key into the river Seine. Romantic? Cheesy? Unrealistic? Either way I thought it was a nice part of being in Paris.

Perhaps those who do have a lock on the bridge carry a spare key just in case the love doesn't last?

Covered most of the touristy places of Paris so was more than happy to tip the guide at the end of it all. After having lunch it was then a short walk to where else but the Eiffel Tower. What is a trip to Paris without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. Didn't go to the top but even from the bottom it was a sight to behold.

The Eiffel Tower.

After that made our way to Galeries Lafayettes which was way overcrowded. They had a gorgeous ceiling which I forgot to take a picture of but considering it was just a shopping mall was really pretty.

Bout some macarons from

The passionfruit and chocolate one was delicious. They also had one that had chili in it which might seem strange but was surprisingly quite nice as it had that little 'kick'.

Went to the Arc de Triomphe after where I did not know I had to climb up like hundreds of steps to get to the top. Well worth it though. Had a magnificent view of Paris at night as well as getting to see the Eiffel Tower light up for their light show.

So bright and twinkly =D.

After that headed back to the Latin Quarter for dinner as everyone was pretty tired out from the long day. However, Andrew, Sonia and I headed back out to walk along the River Seine wanting to make the most of our Paris trip. Funnily enough we three were the oldest in the group but yet the only ones with the energy to go back out.

We were rewarded with a glimpse of just how beautiful Paris could be at night.

The Notre Dame.

Wandered around a little longer before deciding to call it a night. But no before stumbling upon the bookshop(Shakespeare and Co.) as well as a jazz bar that were on my list of things to see. Only while getting 'lost' did I find these places. Haha.

And that was day 2.

un.

2012-02-07T06:37:00.000+08:00

Ah Paris. One hears so many wonderful things about it all the time. So when I finally went there, was slightly afraid that Paris was overhyped and that it wouldn't meet my expectations.

Thankfully, it did. It's such a beautiful city that I would love to stay there for a bit. Perhaps not for life but at least for a month or two.

Flight was delayed for an hour so by the time we landed in Paris it was 5pm instead of the scheduled 4pm. Paris Beauvais was a small airport so getting through immigration was quick. And then it was a 1.5 hour bus ride into Paris itself as Beauvais is more like the country side. The Metro/RER was relatively easy to navigate thanks to the app I downloaded on my iPhone.

Got off at the St. Michel-Notre Dame spot for my first proper sight of Paris. It was dark and cold but even then Paris was beautiful. Although slightly lost at first, managed to find Hotel Marignan(thanks to Julian's app of Paris; what would we do without iPhones I swear) where we would be staying. The guys' room was on the fifth floor which meant an extra 2 flights of stairs compared to us girls to climb but they had a balcony!

View from their balcony.

Checked in with no hassle as the lazy at the counter spoke perfect English. Unloaded our luggage into our rooms which was a lot bigger than I thought it would be after hearing about how small Paris hotel rooms could be and then it was off to dinner.

On the suggestion of the lady who checked us in we ended up in Le Volcan(10, rue Thouin) for dinner. Bout a 10 minute walk from our hotel as it was next to Place de la Contrescarpe(where Ernest Hemingway used to hang out). Three course meal for 12euros was decent I guess.

Campaign Pate for my appetizer.

Cheese and bacon thingy for main course.

For dessert I had a cheese and chestnut puree dish but was too eager to dig into it hence the lack of a picture. It was really yummy though.

By the time we were done it was 11ish so wandered around a little and then went back to rest up for a long day ahead. And so day 1(more like night) in Paris was over.

always have.

2012-02-03T06:41:00.000+08:00

This time tomorrow I hope to be sipping on a glass of wine watching Parisiennes go by.

Can't wait for my first ever trip to Paris.

Kinda nervous though. A country where I don't speak the language.

Not to mention the fact that I have either overplanned my trip or underplanned it. Not sure which one as some parts of my itinerary are extremely detailed whereas other parts are just blank in hopes that I will get distracted by something.

2012-01-31T18:12:00.000+08:00

Haven't blogged for agess.

Not quite sure why but I do suddenly feel like going back to blogging. And changing the colour scheme of my blog.

This is probably the first time I'm not using a black background. Something about black just seems so depressing at the moment. So doing a 180 and using white and pink-ish tones.

So much has changed yet stayed the same in the last 6 months. Will slowly be putting all that down into words.

But for the time being, here's my favourite postsecret of the week =).

2011-07-14T23:27:00.000+08:00

Sure the series might actually have ended 4 years ago but since there were still the movies it didn't really hit me that it all comes to an end.

By far the best of all the movies, Deathly Hallows Part 2 did not disappoint at all. Maybe it's cause it's the last movie so there are a lot more emotions involved that the few missing parts don't really matter.

I am one who gets very engrossed in a fictional world. So can you imagine how attached I am to the Harry Potter series?

7 books. 8 movies. A million fanfiction stories and fanvids. Couple of RPG sites.

Such a big part of my life. ~~My little retreat out of reality.~~

There's still pottermore and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to look forward to! A small consolation.

Kinda lazy to blog now a days. Not sure why. I think cause it actually requires brain power to sit down and type stuff out that will actually make sense to people and not just me. Haha.

Slight update on my Aussie trip. More for memory's sake so that when I grow old I'd be able to read through this blog and remember all the things I got up to.

11 days in Australia was BEYOND tiring. As in I don't think I've ever been so sleep deprived.

Melbourne was only a few of us so it wasn't so bad. We still went to bed at a decent-ish hour (anything before 3 is decent when you put a bunch of friends together) and woke up before noon. Yays! Didn't really do much in Melbourne city as had two mini 'roadtrips' driving off to Dandenong and Mornington Peninsula. It was definitely the more relaxed part of the trip.

Did manage to catch sight of two penguins fighting at St. Kilda's. Soooo cute. One was chasing the other the whole time and it was a 'catfight' but penguin style. Totally looked like a lover's quarrel.

Then came Sydney. Here our group doubled in size. Basically there were like 11 of us walking around together. Everything we did took more time than expected. Even crossing the street we'd have to wait a while cause the light would turn red and half our group would still be on the other side of the road. Dad said we were like a walking Chinatown.

Two days in a row we woke up before the sunrise. Crazy no? Once was to go to the fish market where I had fresh sashimi, oysters and lobsters for a really decent price. It was yummyyyyy. The other was to go up to Blue Mountains. I swear everyone was just running on caffeine those days.

All in all it was a really good trip =). It's been a while since the bunch of us have hung out together.

But I don't think I'd be up for another one so soon. Those 11 days really drained me.

When you are spiraling, you know that, eventually, you want to lead a good and fulfilling life, but you also need a break from the good and the fulfilling to chase the rush that comes with abandoning responsibility and letting your hedonistic side consume you.

One place I definitely want to visit is

Colmar, France.

For no other reason other than it's pretty.

If you've watched Howl's Moving Castle, a lot of the design was based off this place.

It's also known as Little Venice cause of the canals.

Seems so unreal. But I suppose the French are good at keeping things beautiful.

Current favourite song is a Korean one.

Not that I'm into Kpop again. Just that this song is so freaking nice. And emo. Yes I like emo songs.

On Rainy Days by B2ST.

That's pronounced beast.

Basically the songs bout how the guy is emo-ing on a rainy day. Constantly thinking of the girl that he used to be with.

It has got me thinking though. If a guy is truly in love with a girl and they part. Will he only think of her when the weather is gloomy? I know rainy weather is like the perfect moment to emo. But if you really did love her shouldn't you be thinking of her even when it's sunny? Even more perhaps. That when there is perfect weather you'd think of her cause you wanna share such a perfect moment with her.

Maybe it's just me overthinking as usual.

2011-05-09T20:35:00.000+08:00

Honestly I'm not a fan of IU. Only reason I knew who she was is cause she did that duet with Seulong from 2AM.

But I have to say this song is really sad. Not to mention the video is slightly eerie since it's set in a mental hospital.

There was a slight controversy when it was released though. Since the guy that she's in love with is clearly an older man, it appeared that she was in love with her father. Especially with that little snippet in the beginning where the nurse? says that it was her father who died.

Meh. To me it was obvious that she was just in love with an older guy.

Age is just a number anyway.

Perhaps an important question to be asked in a relationship is

"What is your dream?"

Typically I'd think most answers to be related to work. Like how successful they want to be. What they intend to buy with the money they make from work.

Is it any surprise that most relationships don't work out then? If you are not each other's number one priority, of course not everything is going to go well. Cause even if you break up, you still have your dream. And since your dream does not require a relationship, no harm in letting it go right?

Or maybe you'd be better off not knowing.

P.S Learned this from a Jdrama. Hana Yori Dango =D!

2011-04-13T12:22:00.000+08:00

Just finished watching

Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac.

I quite liked it. It's about this girl who loses her memory of the past four years. And so since it's a love story the main focus is about her trying to remember who she loves. Pretty predictable but it's easy to watch and really sweet at some points.

You know you've been watching too many Japanese shows when you recognise the three main characters from other plaes. Kenichi Matsuyama being L from Death Note. Maki Horikita is Chisato from Atashinchi no Danshi. And finally Yuya Tegoshi is from the boygroup NEWS. Haha. But I'm going off track.

The movie shows how since the main character forgot the past four years, it is up to the people around her to remind her of who she is. What she used to like, who she used to like and all that. But if this happened in real life, there would be almost no need to take the words of others. Maybe not applicable to everyone. But if let's say I lost my memory, all I'd have to do is read by blog. Or go through Facebook a little.

And then tadahhh! The past is all so nicely documented for me.

What would we do without the Internet =).

When she is 38 - She is a golf ball, 1 man hitting on her.
When she is 48 - She is a pingpong ball, 2 men pushing to each other.

MAN
At 20 - A man is like a coconut, so much to offer, so little to give.
At 30 - He is like a durian, dangerous but delicious.
At 40 - He is like a watermelon, big, round and juicy.
At 50 - He is like a mandarin orange, the season comes once a year.
At 60 - He is just like a raisin, dried out, wrinkles and cheap.

Her skin is white cloth,

and she's all sewn apart

and she has many colored pins

sticking out of her heart.

She has many different zombies

who are deeply in her trance.

She even has a zombie

who was originally from France.

But she knows she has a curse on her,

a curse she cannot win.

For if someone gets

too close to her,

the pins stick farther in.

How far technology has come.

From times when connecting to the Internet required a cable making weird sounds to wireless Internet just about anywhere.

From phones that had no camera no colour no games other than memory and snake to touch screen phones with more features than you can use.

From silent movies in black and white to movies with too many special effects in 3D.

How far will technology go?

Sore feet. Bruised hip. Sweating like crazy.

RM70 in my pocket. Awesomest performance! for free!!

What else could it be but

Got asked to do ushering for Michael Buble's concert. Figured it'd be worth going since I wouldn't pay so much for a ticket otherwise.

The job may have been tougher than I expected with the combination of rain and frustrated people and lack of air conditioning. Nonetheless, his performance made up for it.

His voice is AMAZING!! He sounds exactly like the recording. Like, how is that possible? Real talent.

Not only is his voice soooooo good. He is a pretty good entertainer. The jokes he cracked were a combination of funny and sarcasm. Which I think is the best combination. So charismatic. Considering I'd always just pegged him as just a voice. Like he said, he doesn't do concerts. He holds parties =D.

And boy was it a party. He got the entire stadium to stand up and sing and dance along with him. Despite the fact that many of them were like my parents age, they were sporting enough to go along.

Can't say I'd rush to do ushering for other concerts. But if all singers in concert are as good as Michael Buble, count me it.

The Japanese are seriously a strange bunch of people.

It's like "How exactly do their minds work?".

First they come up with movies like "Strange Circus".

Even the poster creeps me out.

Can't exactly tell you what it's about. But if you thought Inception played with your mind, you have not watched Strange Circus. Not only does it play mind tricks, it has loads of other elements that make it a bit difficult to watch. You definitely need a strong stomach for it. Nonetheless, it was a pretty good movie.

Next they come up with something called the "Menstruation Machine".

So for all the guys who don't understand why girls whine about the pain and uncomfortableness of having their period, this is for you.

It basically simulates a typical 5 day cycle. With all the blood and cramps. While it may not compare to actually having your period, I'd say it'd at least give guys a good gauge of what we have to go through.

Haha. How true.

For some reason, there's always a greater sense of accomplishment when you finish your work at the 11th hour.

A greater adrenaline rush that makes you work faster.

Let's say if you had started on the assignment a week ago, and you would be spend an hour on it everyday. In a week, you would have spent 7 hours. But if you only start the assignment a day or two before the due date, I bet the time can be cut in half.

Sense of urgency will force you to work faster and avoid distractions.

Not that I'm encouraging last minute work.

But just saying.

Everything in life boils down to the choices you make.

As cliched as it may sound, there is no better way to put it.

While we try to make the good or right choice all the time, there will be times when you make the wrong one. I wonder though, how many of us unknowingly made it? Cause I know for me, there are instances where I know for a fact that the decision I'm going to make is not quite the right one.

But I make it anyway.

Why?

Just so I can know what it was like. I mean, if I made the right choices all the time, life would be pretty boring I think. And it's these mistakes that make a story worth telling ;).

Though I'm careful to avoid any wrong decisions that could forever screw up my life.

Life is sort of back to normal now I suppose.

Though really. What is normal?

Is it the 3 months of being bored out of my mind. Doing nothing but going to uni. Coming home and wasting time.

Or.

The last 3 months of being out almost every night. Till 4 in the morning.

Hmmm. We'll see just how much has changed.

February 14.

Valentine's Day.

Single Awareness Day.

I used to think it was overrated and that couples were just wasting their time paying extra for food and chocolate and flowers.

But now I think it's a nice way for couples to do make an extra effort to inject some romance back into their lives. Not that the other 365 days of the year should be devoid of romantic gestures. Just that with the world moving at such a fast pace, it's difficult to do all the lovey-dovey things often. Like buying presents for each other. Having a candlelight dinner. Just spending time with each other.

Chinese New Year is spent the same way every year.

In Ipoh.

Eating.

When I was younger, I loved going to Ipoh. Cause my grandparents would always take me out to the bookshop and then for ice-cream. What better combination could there be right?

But now it's the other way round. In KL I get to go out a lot. Ipoh is mostly family time. I suppose I could go out but I'm kinda lazy to answer any questions that might pop up. And the weather there is soooooo hot. All I wanna do is sit under the fan/air-cond and read my book.

And so marks the end of my holiday.

This song is sooooo stuck in my head.

All About Him by Auburn.

Even though I don't agree with the lyrics. I mean, just cause you're in a relationship is no reason to ignore everybody else. Relationships don't last forever you know. When you're finally broken up, you find that you've alienated your friends and have no one to talk to.

The song is kinda cute though. I love the part in the video where the two kids trade crayons! =D

Everybody dreams.

Whether you remember your dreams is however a different issue.

If you do, do you believe that your dreams have meaning? I'm sure every single thing that appeared in your dream was there for a reason but do you think it's possible to make a general guess of the meaning with the help of a dream dictionary? Or do the same things in different people's dreams carry different meanings depending on the individual.

For example if you dreamt of fish,

Fish

To see fish swimming in your dream, signifies insights from your unconscious mind. Thus to catch a fish, represents insights which have been brought to the surface. Alternatively, a fish swimming in your dream may symbolize conception. Some women dream of swimming fish when they get pregnant. The fish is also an ancient symbol of Christianity and Christian beliefs. Consider the common phrases "like a cold fish", "fish out of water" or something that is "fishy" about a situation. It may also imply a slippery or elusive situation. Perhaps your dream could be telling you that "there are plenty of other fish in the sea", with regards to some relationship issue.

To dream that you are eating fish, symbolizes your beliefs, spirituality, luck, energy and nourishment. It is food for the soul.

To dream of cooking fish, indicates that you are incorporating your new realizations with your spiritual feelings and knowledge.

To dream that you are cleaning fish, suggests that you are altering your emotional expression in a way that will be presentable to others. You are censoring yourself and not expressing how you completely feel.

Interesting right?

I wish someone would interpret my dreams for me.

Dear Imagination,

I know I haven't really been spending time with you since the days in the playground where we played masak-masak together and you convinced me that leaves and twigs and sand could somehow look like fried rice with vegetables.

I'm sorry that over the years of growing up my attention has been hogged by Reality who is both bossy and demanding and seriously a pain in the ass. With you having to take a back seat in my life, you must have a lot of pent up energy since the only time I ever ask you out to play is when Fantasy is tired of copying off the movies or books I read.

But now that Reality has taken a chill pill and I've laid off reading too many books or watching too many movies, I can spend more time with you. The only thing I ask of you Imagination, is to STOP running wild! I'm too old to be chasing after you or having you running around while I'm trying to sleep.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Mentally exhausted Weng Yee.

Haha. Random much? =P

Black Swan starring Natalie Portman.

This movie combined the two things I love watching.

Dance? Check.

Psychological twists? Check.

Definitely recommend watching it.

Though after watching it, you'd wonder how much is perfection worth?

Another year has passed.

And now I can officially say I'm 19. Not that I told people I was 18, just that I would always say I'm 19 this year instead of just 19.

Honestly I never really have expectations for my birthday. I don't expect presents or parties. So it's nice when it does happen =).

Not gonna blog about it in detail cause I'm lazy like that. But I can truly say that my 19th birthday was never what I would have thought it would be.

Can't believe I'm gonna be 20 next year. While aging one year doesn't make that much of a difference, it's the jump away from being a teenager that kinda freaks me out. One day you're a carefree teenager and the next you're suddenly an adult who has to think about responsibilities =S.

Stop time right here anyone?

2010-12-16T23:20:00.001+08:00

I just watched like the CUTEST movie ever!!

Title of the movie is "Paper Heart". Filmed in a documentary style, it' s about this girl who is making a documentary about love. Why is she doing so? Because she wants to know more about it since she doesn't believe in love.

I liked that a lot of the 'couples' that she 'interviewed' were quite old already. So it felt like they actually knew what they were talking about based on experience. The couple that got married when they were 17 was so adorable =D.

Oh! Did I mention Michael Cera plays one of the main characters. Granted his roles in movies are pretty much the same all the time, I like him =). Always playing the shy awkward guy (Juno, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist and now Paperheart).

He just looks so perfect for that role no?

The top 10 things I learnt from attending Zoukout 2010.

1. Don't bother dressing up so much. By that I mean going in a tank top and shorts without minimal makeup is a-okay. Cause by the end of the night or in this case morning, you will be sweaty and sticky as hell so dressing up is a waste.

2. Redbull is the best drink for long nights. Seriously. Surviving the whole night dancing with only 4 hours of sleep would not have been possible without the two cans of redbull.

3. My feet are pretty strong. Can't believe I lasted the night on my feet while having it stepped on like a million times. I'm surprised my foot isn't covered in bruises =S.

4. Some people are overly persistent. If there was space in front of me, I would have gone in front too. So there is no use trying to force your way in front of me!

5. Should have brought an extra top. All the sweat and rain and spilled drinks(from other people) do not make a good combination =S.

6. If a person has a dazed sort of look. They're either going to A: Puke or B: Pass out. So keep away.

7. The world is super small. Even with 30k people, you can still randomly bump into people you know without any planning.

8. I am still not a huge fan of house music. With one exception.

9. DAVID GEUTTA IS AWESOME! I don't know whether any other DJ would have been able to pump to crowd up so much at 5 in the morning when most have been partying since 8.

10. Thank goodness Singapore has such an efficient public transport system to get 30 thousand people off Sentosa at the same time.

That pretty much wraps up my weekend in Singapore. Didn't do anything else besides eat and sleep(barely though) and go to Zoukout.

Not sure whether I'd be up for another Zoukout. The crowd is just too crazy.

Recipe for a perfect Saturday night:

1. Extract dad and sibling from house. (Send to Singapore)

2. Allow mum to go off. (To Seremban)

3. Stir in a long hot bath.

4. If desired, blast favourite music.

5. Slowly savour a good book. (In my case HP7)

6. When the time is right(tummy growling is a good sign), add in a cup of hot tea with favourite snacks =D.

7. Sit back and enjoy this moment of bliss.

Yes. That's my idea of a perfect Saturday night.

May sound super anti-social but seriously, moments of peace and quiet are hard to come by.

no matter.

2010-11-29T19:41:00.000+08:00

I think sometimes there are just some childhood fears that you will never be able to shake off.

Like how at night I avoid looking into mirrors or out of windows when I'm alone. Just in case I see something other than my own reflection looking back at me =S.

Or how if I watch TV at like 3 in the morning I make sure I sit on the couch against the wall. You'd never know if there's something hiding behind okay.

Despite knowing that these fears seem kinda silly, it's just something I can't get rid off.

ouch.

I am super super addicted to this song.

Grenade by Bruno Mars.

Honestly I didn't think Bruno Mars was such a big deal when everyone was swooning over his "Just The Way You Are" cause I thought the lyrics weren't that great. Seeing as all he sings about in the song is the girl's looks.

But I'd have to say that if a guy sang this to me I'd melt instantly. Also, Bruno Mars sounds exactly the same live and in his album. A pretty impressive feat considering there's such a thing as autotune now.

Spent practically the entire day at Curve.

For what?

Laundry Festival.

No. It does not involve doing laundry okay =P.

It's actually a music festival where loads of local acts perform. Started as early as 2pm and goes on all the way till closing time.

Didn't actually watch everything since it was outdoors. So kept going in and out whenever it got too hot. Some acts were of course better than others. Overall it's nice to know that the music scene in Malaysia is alive and kicking.

Something that did cross my mind. How many people there were actually there to enjoy the music or were they just there to support a friend?

Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with supporting a friend. But what about the other acts? I mean, if you're only there to support your friend, it's likely that they'd go off after their friend's performance instead of staying on to catch the other acts.

It also means that only people with friends in the music business will be exposed to our local talent. Does that mean that those who don't happen to have friends in the scene will be deprived of the music? Word of mouth does work. To a certain extent I suppose.

Hmmm. Wonder whether this only happens in Malaysia?

It means,

Can't waitttttt!!

Haha. Unfortunately, I'll be in Bangkok. So will only get to watch it when I get back to Malaysia =(.

Oh well. Time to re-read all my Harry Potter books now.

Yes. Before each movie I re-read all the books. From the Philosopher's Stone up till the movie. So in this case till the very end.

The past week has probably been the most eventful week I've had for a long time.

Went for my first open mic night. The Bee @ Jaya One.

Some acts were better than others of course but overall it was a fun night. Bumped into a couple of people I have seen in a long time too. Goes to show how small the world is. Cause it's not like it was a huge event, mainly for IACT students so was surprised to see anyone I knew at all.

Then Friday went to a salsa club. Paradise @ Lodge Paradize Hotel.

Yes you read that right. I went to a club where everyone on the dance floor salsas. I was soooo tired by the end of it though. Definitely did more dancing there in comparison to class. Didn't embarrass myself too much I think. But everyone there is more experienced. Like they've been learning for at LEAST a year. Whereas I've barely been learning for three months.

And on Saturday, it was Oktoberfest @ 1U.

One Card holders get a free bottle of beer. And not like it was local beer, it was a not so small bottle of German beer. Didn't do much other than eat or drink.

So yes. It's been a week of firsts.

Just a little speech that you should read if you're free.

Okay, it's not so little.

Speech by Adrian Tan at the NTU convocation ceremony 2008. He's a Singaporean author. Wrote a book called "The Teenage Textbook" which I intend to buy when I next go to a bookshop.

I think if was ever given the chance to meet an author(whether dead or alive),

it'd have to be Oscar Wilde.

My favourite quote has always been from him.

"I can resist everything except temptation."

And now after reading "The Picture of Dorian Gray", I'd have to say I agree with a lot of ideas put forth in the book.

"Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping sort of common sense, and discover when it's too late that the only thing that one never regrets are one's mistakes."

~Lord Henry Wotton (The Picture of Dorian Gray)

This is ANNOYING the hell out of me.

There's this movie that I want to know the title of. So if anyone can tell me that, I will be FOREVER grateful. Seriously.

It's about this boy who uses a time machine to look for his father in the future. When he does get to the future he finds out that humans have evolved into two entirely different species. One type live above ground where they're always carefree and happy and have telekinetic powers(which they use to start a food fight =P). The other type live underground and only come up at night.

The ones above ground have to sacrifice some of themselves every month to those underground in exchange for food and clothes. Turns out the underground people use them as power sources. Boy finds his father trapped underground and manages to save him. Oh, and the boy sort of falls in love with an above ground girl.

That's about it. Should be enough to trigger off your memory if you've watched it.

The reason I suddenly thought of this is I'm reading H.G Well's The Time Machine. And it seems that this cartoon movie is directly inspired by the book. In my opinion at least.

I am soooo addicted to this song.

Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I’d say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

You’ve got opinions, man
We’re all entitled to ‘em, but I never asked
So let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste anymore of mine
And get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe, but I’m not drowning
There’s no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

You sound so innocent, all full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset

I’m not the one who’s lost with no direction
But you’ll never see

You’re so busy making maps with my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down, just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it’s my turn to decide

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

Let me hold your crown, babe.

I'm not a big fan of maths.

But I will admit that maths is involved in life a lot, although we never actually learn anything practical in class.

Here's an example of how life could use maths. To calculate a person's rebound time after breaking off from a relationship =P. From a musical called "I Love You Because", a modern version of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Haha. I really wanna watch a musical now.

2010-10-08T22:44:00.000+08:00

Went bouldering today.

Bouldering you ask?

Well, it's sort of like rock climbing. But without a harness. So you don't climb so high just in case you fall. Although it may seem more dangerous, I like it better than rock climbing. Cause you're not so far away from the ground.

Pretty fun actually. Though you seriously need upper body strength. And long limbs. Basically, if you're a guy it's much much easier. Like when I was doing a route (a specifically marked out path so it's more challenging), there were moments when I had to stretch like crazy to reach the next foothold, but when I saw guys do it, it was like nothing.

Sexist sport =P.

The place I went to was sooooo far away. Almost an hour by LRT. It's called *Mad Monkeyz Bouldering Gym* in Wangsa Maju. Not too pricey so it's worth it I guess. Only RM13 for two hours plus of entertainment.

Plus point for girls to make up for the difficulty of climbing is that you most probably would have a nice view while resting in between climbs ;).

2010-10-05T20:47:00.000+08:00

Haha. Pretty true.

It's like there's something built in all women to want to keep her man happy. Pfft. But men have magazines with hot women for them to look at to keep themselves happy. So ultimately men will always have ways to be happy. As for women? Suck it up and deal with it.

And so I'm done with the first week of uni.

For those of you who don't know, I'm currently doing the B.A Econ course at KDU college under University of Manchester. It's basically a twinning program so I'll be off to UK next year.

So far classes have been pretty basic. Just the introductions and stuff. I don't expect it to get any more interesting though, except for my politics module. Which I know nothing about so it'll be something totally new.

Did I mention how small my class is? There are only four of us now. All girls. They're pretty nice but I was seriously hoping for a bigger class. I mean, I thought that my lit class at TCSH was small enough, now this class is half the size??

Oh well. Will just have to see how everything goes.

2010-09-27T18:18:00.000+08:00

Would you rather step into a place that is so familiar you know it like the back of your hand?

Or perhaps into a foreign place where you know not what to expect?

While some people cling to what's familiar, others are always seeking a new adventure elsewhere.

As for me? I'm torn between both. There are times where all I want to do is keep to what I know. That I'm prepared for pretty much everything that comes my way seeing as nothing can surprise me. Yet there are times when I wanna do things that I wouldn't have thought of doing before just to experience something new.

Most of the time, I compensate. Like when I wanted to cut my hair short. I was actually thinking of it really short as in pixie cut. But when the time came, I just had it cut to chin length.

Sigh. I feel like there are two people living inside me. Though not in an MPD way.

I'm gonna make an assumption here

that most people who get into relationships before they're 20 are just looking for a 'Right Now' not a 'For The Rest Of My Life'. (Feel free to comment if you think otherwise)

Given my assumption,

I really don't understand why people want relationships?

It's like you know that at one point, you are going to break up and there's going to be heartbreak and lots of tears. Maybe some yelling and throwing of stuff. (If it ended on a bad note)

So does that mean relationships are always good enough to compensate for the bad at the end? I think not. Yet, people are so willing to jump into one. Not to mention the fact that it's not always smooth sailing DURING the relationship. I would say that bad stuff during relationship + breakup > good part of relationship.

Haha. My objective view on it. Perhaps when I'm actually in a relationship I'll be able to understand why people do stupid things and make stupid decisions all for the sake of love.

But then again, you only get the rainbow after the rain.

2010-09-02T22:43:00.000+08:00

I can honestly tell you that growing up I didn't question many things. I just went with the flow and took what life gave me.

But now, I can't help but question some things.

Like what people perceive education to be.

Education:

the knowledge and development resulting from an educational process [Merriam-Webster's dictionary]

the process of teaching or learning in school or college; or the knowledge you get from this [Cambridge dictionary]

Does anything in there even suggest that the meaning of education is

something you need to make more money so that you can have more power in this world?

a tool to make you feel that you are a class above those who don't have the same education as you?

In fact, the word education comes from the Latin term 'educere' which means to bring out. Basically to bring forth the potential that a person has within. Not to force knowledge onto people.

Yet the true meaning of education has been lost over the years. Now, it's just a numbers game. How many A's can you get, how much money can you earn after this.

Just got back from a night out in the city =).

No, it was not for clubbing.

It was for something quite different. How different??

Well, it involved packing food.

So yeah, I went to the Kechara Soup Kitchen to help out. Cause my mum asked me to accompany her as some ladies from Tropicana were going. Pui Yi came along too after I told her about it the day before =).

All in all, it was a good experience. I wouldn't say it was an eye opening experience as what I saw while distributing the food out in Pudu area is sort of what I expected. I mean, I know enough about Malaysia to know that there are people out there with no home, no family, basically nothing =(.

I'd like to go again but I highly doubt I'm up to driving to Jalan Imbi(the HQ) at night. If only they had kept the location at SunwayMas.

How do you guys pick songs to stay in your iTunes(Or whatever other music player you use)?

Do you pick the songs that are catchy?

Cause you're hot then you're cold, you're yes then you're no....

Songs that will calm you down?

The world is all around us, it's much too big to see...

Or maybe songs that you hope will someday mean something more?

I'll be your crying shoulder, I'll be love's suicide...

Perhaps songs that you think would sum up your life?

I don't wanna be like Cinderella, sitting in a dark old dusty cellar...

Maybe just songs that get you dancing?

Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard...

For me, it's mainly the lyrics. If the lyrics suck, the only way it stays in my iTunes is the song is sooooo catchy that I can't bear to delete it. Though after some time I do go through all my songs and delete the ones that I don't like anymore.

P.S Props to you if you could guess all the songs right without Googling the lyrics =). Answers below.

Just finished another round of work yesterday. This time it was a four day stint at KL Convention Centre.

I must say I definitely enjoyed the work more this time round. Cause the place was much nicer =). It was also more fun seeing as there were more of us working so we could chit chat in between serving customers. Haha. Even packing up was quite amusing. Let's just say that the guys were very entertaining as they rolled and packed up the carpets =P.

I sold almost double the amount of rolls this time round for the wallcoverings. And my feet don't hurt or feel numb at all. Guess that with experience everything gets easier.

I think everyone should do this kind of promoting job at least once. It's interesting to see the many different types of people.

Watched Eclipse yesterday.

It was SUPER amusing. Like seriously, definitely the most entertaining out of the three Twilight films. Or maybe it's just the people I watched it with =). There were quite a number of moments where it was just the three of us (Trixie, Pui Yi and me) laughing. People must have thought we were so weird.

And even though I've read the book, it was such a cringe worthy moment to see Bella and Jacob kiss. Nice that the movie felt complete and that you don't need to read the book to be able to enjoy it.

One moment during the movie worth mentioning...not in particular for the scene but for what happened in the cinema.

The scene where Bella is with Edward in the house and she asks him to take their relationship to the 'next level' ahem ahem. When we watched it, guess what happened? The film burned. Yes, that's right. So there was a minor disruption. Haha. It was really funny that a lot of people in the cinema laughed. Clearly, the scene was too 'hot' to be shown =P.

P.S I can't believe I'm going for Jog for Hope tomorrow. I'm the most unathletic person in the WORLD.

Stephen King (author of Carrie, It, The Shawshank Redemption...) X2

Chuck Palahniuk (author of Fight Club)

Kurt Vonnegut (author of Harrison Bergeron)

Interesting combination no?

Wonder what it says about me though...

Wow. I haven't blogged for more than a week. Seems like forever to me...

Haha. I spent four days working as a promoter in Mid Valley.

And this is what I've learnt.

1. How to sell cooking ware and wallcoverings.

2. How to wear a hanbok (Korean traditional costume) properly. Even how to tie the otkorum.

3. There are actually a lot of people who are willing to spend a lot of money to make their wall look pretty.

4. Standing for 12 hours kills your feet.

5. You can get stuck in a jam for half an hour. In the CAR PARK.

6. How to use the credit card machine. I'm quite good at it now =D.

Overall I'd say it was a good experience. And I just might do it again, cause the money's good =P.

Haha. So true. How do you think high tech toilets would be like??

Or maybe in Star Trek people never need to go.

People say,

Learn from the past.

Live in the present.

Look to the future.

BUT

What if I'm really bad at multi-tasking??

I'll admit I spend a lot of time in the fiction world.

But no matter how many times I read or watch these type of relationships, I never get bored.

What type of relationships you ask?

The kind where the girl and guy hate each other or at least dislike each other at first, but eventually they fall in love. And the reason they dislike each other at first is always either cause they're too similar and therefore their ambitions overlap (wanting the same position) or because the guy has too huge an ego (playboy) or the guy is so mysterious (girl needs to know everything).

My top 3 from manga/anime, books and shows.

Ayashi No Ceres: Aya and Toya. She the reincarnation of a celestial being, him the assassin hired to kill her.

Black Magicians' Trilogy: Sonea and Akkarin. Her a novice in the magic world, he the powerful high lord who practices the forbidden black magic.

Gossip Girl: Chuck and Blair. He the super bad boy and her the queen.

Fine, I'm gonna add a fourth just cause I love this pair so much in fanfiction.

Harry Potter: Draco and Hermione. Him the playboy and her the know-it-all.

Haha.

I just realised. Akkarin dies at the end of the story, Toya will die soon, Chuck seems to have died and Draco dies in quite a number of the fanfictions I read.

What tragic love stories I like =P.

Now for a proper blog post =P.

Got to KL Pac pretty early. About 11.30. Left KL Pac pretty late. About 11.30. Haha, I have never spent so much time there in my life!

I would say I enjoyed myself a lot. The two performances that I enjoyed the most were Tenderfists X Flica and An Honest Mistake. Tenderfists X Flica had really chillax music that I would so download and have on my iPod. And to think that Arthur and I only went in to kill time cause the sun was blazing hot outside and watching this performance meant we could sit inside the air conditioned hall =P. Went to watch An Honest Mistake later in the afternoon and I must say I can see why they're getting so popular. Their original songs are quite catchy and I think I'll buy their CD when it comes out in July =D. The other performances I watched were quite good too but I wasn't really into it as their type of music isn't really my type of music.

There were so many blogshops that set up in Urbanscapes that I think it took me at least an hour to make one full round. I'm not much of a shopper so I skim through clothes pretty quickly which means that it may have been an hour for me, it could have been much much longer had I looked through everything. But, seeing as I had so much time, I made about three rounds under the burning sun.

One thing Urbanscapes had this year that I don't think you'd find anywhere else is the Electric Tea Party. Basically the setup is as below. So whenever you put your hand into one of the cups, it makes a sound. Marcia and I had a go at it. Pretty fun =D.

I'd definitely try and make it for the next Urbanscapes next year and I recommend everyone out there go for it too! Definitely one of the must visits if you're in KL around that time.

P.S I spent so many hours under the sun and guess what? I turned absolutely ZERO shades darker. Sigh, looks like I'll always be so fair.

Since the end of my exams, this is the first day I haven't gone out. Haha. That makes me sound so sociable doesn't it??

Well, not really. It's just to make up for all the times I couldn't go out during exams =P.

As for today, I've been spending it watching Star Trek. Which although sounds very nerdy or geeky, is actually a pretty interesting show. No scientific knowledge required =).

Urbanscapes tomorrow!! Can't wait =D.

One game I really enjoyed as a child was "masak-masak". For those who don't understand BM, it's pretend cooking.

I remember having loads of plastic cooking ware. Taking it to the playground and collecting leaves grass wild mushrooms or whatever I could find. Then I'd put it in my "pots and pans" and cook. Didn't resemble real cooking at all. But hey, a little imagination can do wonders =).

Now, some Japanese company has come up with a toy that makes pretend cooking so real. It's called Konapun.

Watch the few videos below and you'll see just how realistic it is. I mean, it looks like it's edible.

Your meal.

Your dessert.

So cool right?? I want but it's only available in Japan =(.

Went out with Jia Lik and Amanda to Sunway Pyramid today.

Watched Toy Story 3!!!!

It really is such a good movie. And while it's meant for kids, I would say more likely it's meant for the kids who watch Toy Story 1 & 2 so many years ago.

Some stuff in the movie is not so typical of children's movies cause I feel that the themes would be more understandable to those who are older.

The part about how Lotso turns into a dominating bitter bear just cause Daisy abandoned him and how he decides that since he can't be happy no one else can. The part where Barbie goes all scary on Ken or when she seems to intelligent when she talks about how Lotso is wrong in doing things. Spanish Buzz who gets jealous of how Jessie hugs Woody =P.

Haha. These are just some of the moments where I felt that kids wouldn't really get.

But yes it is definitely a must watch movie.

And prepare to cry or at least tear during the movie. At least once.

Feels like I haven't blogged in ages.

Grad Ball went well =D. Not as smoothly as I had hoped it would but I would say that the hiccups we had were pretty minor. Organizing the whole thing has been quite an experience. A lot of stress seeing as time and money were not on our side. But in the end we all pulled through. Despite running around and killing my feet, I'd say I quite enjoyed myself on the night itself.

After that, Caroline, Marcia, Anthea, Pam and Kim came back to my house for our first ever sleepover!! =). Typically, we had barely any sleep. Haha. Just spent the night talking. Quite an enlightening talk session at that. Didn't do much the next day. Breakfast or rather brunch at O'Brien's in Curve followed by some time in Borders or walking around. Honestly we all were too tired to do anything else.

Now that all that is over.

I kinda have nothing to do till August.

Other than wanting to take ballroom lessons, anyone has any suggestions?
