* A story to share. You wanna listen? *

One day, a little girl told her elder sister that she will be off to buy groceries and will be back in time for family dinner with her relatives. So she went happily. In the middle of grocery shopping, her brother called to ask buy some red onions. So she did. After buying her groceries she felt like buying some books and went to another shopping centre as she knows she will be in time back for the dinner.

While browsing books her brother called up and asked when will she be back and she said: "around half an hour." She asked what time is dinner and he said it was 8.30. She looked at the time, and there's still time, she can even spend more than half an hour. So she continued reading and browsing. She didn't tell him that she was at a bookstore.

On the way out of the bookstore the little girl's elder sister called up and asked where is she. She told her she's at the bookstore and is on the way back. Her elder sister got fired up and asked why did she go to the bookstore and who is she with. She said she's alone but her elder sister didn't believe, because her elder sister is not used to shopping alone, she thinks that little girl wouldn't be alone as well and so she presumed she's with other people. Then she asked the little girl to rush back home because she needs the red onions to cook for her brother and dinner is at 8.00pm.

After being scolded through the phone, little girl rushed back angrily. She was so pissed off by getting scolded for no reason. She wondered what she did wrong? She started nagging in her head that her brother didn't tell her that he needed the red onions, and what for he needs to eat dinner as we are already going for dinner later? She even felt angered when her elder sister didn't believe that she's alone at all. She was angry because she didn't like to be scolded abruptly without reasons.

While driving, the little girl remembered that she always reminds herself to be calm whenever she gets angry, and think before she started accusing or scolding anyone. So she did. She thought of:
1. Did she ask her brother why he needed the red onions?
2. Did she ask her brother when he needs it?
3. Did she tell them earlier that she's going to another place and will be back later?
4. Did she reach home punctually, after half an hour?

Nope. She didn't. When she thinks and thinks, she realised she cannot blame them anyway. But she just didn't like her elder sister not trusting her that she's alone. Trust is very important to her. Then she started to think. Her elder sister indeed still can't accept people to be alone shopping and driving. Plus that anger at that point of time, she could say whatever she wants, including not believing that the little girl was indeed alone. Thus, accusing that she's with other people. So, it's just all words of instant frustration which have no intentions at all. So, the little girl plans not to defend too much on this when she gets home. She plans to ask for clarification first only make a judgement.

When she reached home, she only realised:
1. Her brother messed up the dinner time
2. Her brother needed red onions for porridge and he is not going to dinner.
3. Her elder sister needed to cook the red onions in time before she goes to dinner.

Conclusion: That is why they needed the little girl to come back early to pass the red onions and didn't know she actually went to a second round of book-hunting.

There's just one word to summarise the whole situation: Miscommunication.

It is undeniable that miscommunication happens almost everyday. Uncleared confusions will sometimes lead to pissed off moments or disappointing ones.

If only:
1. The little girl asked why and when her brother and elder sister need the red onions.
2. The little girl told them that she will be going to the bookstore as well in the first place. Or tell them when she is on the way.
3. The little girl's brother told her why and when he needs the red onions.
4. The little girl's brother didn't mess up the dinner time.
5. The little girl's brother reconfirmed the time with his elder sister.
6. The little girl got back in time.

If only, any of those 6 options were taken, there will be no miscommunication.

If only, people are sensitive and caring enough to ask more, there will be no miscommunication.

If only, people are better in delivering the message well, there will be no miscommunication.

See, there's never an exact right or wrong point. No one is completely right nor wrong.

***

In the end, the little girl didn't get too angry.

Another lesson to be learned:
Whenever you are angered, calm down and think first before you make any decision to make the next move. Always put yourselves in other people's shoes and think how they would think. Get whole of the entire situation, before firing up. :) If you really do fire (well sometimes it's hard to control I admit), learn to tune your fire smaller and slowly cool down - then THINK.

Why are you angry?
Does that really made you angry?
If it is, what's the real reason?
Is it just because of what had happened?
What will be the other thinking of?
Do you think you did the right thing?
What did you do (no matter good or bad) which caused this?
Are there any alternatives than just going back to start a quarrel?
Is it worthwhile?

:)

Hope you had a great time. ^^

时间就像乳沟

时间，就像乳沟一样，硬挤还是会有。
机会，就像阳具一般，紧握就会变大。
所以人生，就是在乳沟中紧握着阳具！

呃，我翻译以下，真正的意思是：
人生，就是在时间中紧握着机会!

* Time passes! *

No. Time FLIES.
Nooooo. Time FLIES LIKE MAD!!!

Mei Shan told me something which struck her, which in turn made my eyes grew big as well.
"it's been ONE YEAR..." She said.

At that very same morning, I too thought of this.

So, "ONE YEAR" of what?
ONE YEAR since we both met?
ONE YEAR since we both quarreled?
ONE YEAR since she ditched Kang In and I got hold of him? *joking*

No, it'd been ONE YEAR since she came my house for Chinese New Year visit during 2008. And now, look! It's CNY 2009!!!! Yes, she came along with Brandon, Kaiser, Harish. And this year we'll be meeting at Bran's place. Can't wait! ^^ Makan makan!!!Food!!!

Then we both continue to go, "I can't believe it's ONE year!!"

Yes I still can't. Then I switched my chatbox to Bran's and told him this as well. And he reminded me that he and Kaiser was snapping my pictures of my high school years. ^^

Oh, time flies time flies. One year has past. It felt SO YESTERDAY. I can still remember Harish carried the box of mandarin oranges, Brandon with his DSLR snapping here and there, Kaiser with his hp phone and ransacked my cupboard, Mei Shan with me showing her pictures of TVXQ... And them saying that I was soo thin during high school years when I let them see my pictures!!! Those memories are still so fresh! From the oven!!! :P

One Year. Felt like many things had happen. Sometimes felt like nothing had happen. Felt like I've done so much. Sometimes felt like I've done nothing. ONE YEAR JUST LIKE THAT? SO FAST?!

Reminiscing and reminiscing..and I realised I have many many nice beautiful moments during year 2008. How nice if those moments can pause a little more longer. How nice if I can control time. :P

How nice if sometime....

....i can stop time from flying too fast.

I can't.
So I can only treasure.
Those beautiful moments.
Treasure it at that very instant.
And remember it forever.

* 付出 *

付出，你懂得付出什么吗？
你付出的，是别人需要的吗？

很多人真的很用心很卖力
宁愿牺牲时间金钱精力
为别人付出很多

但有时却得不到任何的回应
所以，你付出的，是别人需要的吗？

感情中，无论是亲情友情爱情，我们都要学会付出
但是并不只是懂得付出，更要会付出别人需要的
这样，人家才会更珍惜你的付出。

* I want to see Dragonball the Movie!!! *

You know? You know?
Do you know?
Know what? Do you know that Popjammerz loves Dragonball series? Dragonball Z?
Yes yes yes! She reads the manga from the first episode to the LAST!

And holla! The Movie is coming up! Click here!
But of course the movie can't show much of the actual series, there are just too many characters! I'm still interested to see how it goes though! :)

Sadly, all her favourite characters aren't in this Movie.
Like say - Her most beloved Son Gohan, the son of Son Goku!!!
And also, the 2 cute little super saiya kids - Son Goten and Trunks! Sons of Goku and Bezita!
And not to forget, the best unbeatable villain, yet cute at the start:

Majin Buu!!!!

But they are all not in this movie!!! *CRIES*

Girls have to see this movie because there's hot guy Justin Chatwin.
Guys not to mention, Emmy Rossum is drop dead gorgeous! No wonder she plays Bulma. I personally think Bulma is hot and sexy and...noisy yet smart. :P

Waiting for the Dragonball Evolution Movie!

* Aiyah! Brandon Lim kena MCVP..! T_T *

Brandon Lim (Member Comittee Vice President of Communication)
Clap Clap!

Actually I knew it once Cafrey told him. :P

I've seen him from a Chief Delegate, to Vice President of Talent Management, then to Local Committee President, and that day at VOC was great, and now being elected as MCVP Comm. So proud of him!

I remember when I was under this CD (him) during NLDS 2006, I can see his pek-cek-ness while he is speaking to us delegates. I remembered how he was shouting during GV preparation, during square dance practises. See, so pek-cek. Can feel the pek-cek-ness.

When he was the VPTM, I was working on LLDS. He also pek-cek till make me pek-cek. Everytime asking me for updated registration form numbers til I was so afraid of receiving his sms! When I am having vacation at Malacca he even...chase me for registration form numbers. His name was named as "Brandon Mr. Gilakan Form" in my handphone! But still, a very kind and helpful person. Can you imagine that I just emailed ask how to do better publicity, and he replied me more than 1 PAGE of mail teaching me how to do it? With bold writings, colours and all. Thanks so much. Probably because of his pek-cek-ness, he replied so much. :P Joking, dear.

When he just started his LCP journey (no, I think shortly before), I was organising HOPE PBOX. I know he was quite pek-cek sometimes as many things didn't turn out quite well at the start. But he showed it lesser. Can see him less pek-cek. ^^ I know he worried at times but didn't ask too much. He trusted the HOPE team. Instead, it's my turn to pek-cek and always tell him how pek-cek I was. And he will just listen and give me solutions and support. ;) I don't know how his ear can cope. I was super pek-cek during that semester.

When he is half-way through his LCP journey, I was in the organising committee of MyLDS@YouthShakers. There will definitely be some pek-cek moments as LC UPM is the host LC for this national conference. I know it's quite hard when you have to make sure things run smooth yet you are not in the OC team. That's the time when you have to put full trust on the team leader you've chosen, and also onto the team, eventhough you are worrying. And yeah he did it. Instead too, sometimes I pek-cek pula and blah out all to him. But then, he knew and trusted that we can handle it so he just listened and encouraged, not asking TOO much. It's nice not to have the president always frequently intruding the team's progress but having faith in them that they will do well. A leader have to know when not to intrude too much and take charge, and when to. Having faith and putting trust on the people you chose provides them a sense of responsiblity, independence, and being valued. Thanks. :)

At least now, even during his pek-cek times, others outside can't see it so obviously. Which is good because carrying negative energy to other people everytime isn't nice. He changed to now someone who listens and observes more, someone who knows how to control and manage his emotions and temper much better. Someone who pek-cek-ing finished and will sit down and think carefully, then take action. Although sometimes will sense a bit of pek-cek-ness from his tone, but it's far more better compared to 2 years ago. Well, who never been pek-cek before anyway? It's not the pek-cek which matters. It's how do you deal with the pek-cek stuffs which matters. But still, he's someone who talks so loud. *Bising la!* :P You know why I don't like him talking loud? I don't like people being louder than me, I want to be LOUD ENOUGH!!:P Joking. Experience can change and improve a person, it is indeed a great teacher. So glad that he will be gaining more in days to come.

Yes, I am happy for him to be elected. I should be, right?
But I felt so sad too.
He'll be so busy.
I don't think I get to see him often. :(
There will be less time to makan!!! Food is the best!!!
Joker. Do you think Rue thinks that way?
Heavens.. no.

I remembered saying I prefer someone who has a life of his own but of course have rooms for me as well. I don't like a free guy who always cling to me most of the time, because I'm also quite a busy girl. I like being occupied with each of our own life at the same time learning to make time for one another. Everyone just have to know how to prioritize well, and learn to adjust according to situations. Last but not least, learn to MAKE TIME.

So, I take it positively as I usually do. :)
He'll be busy with his and I will with mine.
With more different experiences, there will be more things to share about and more things to learn from another.
There will be more to inspire each other.
There will be lesser times together and better chances to learn to treasure those times greater.

I am so proud of him!
Being in a national organisation like AIESEC isn't easy.
Making a decision to enter it at this age isn't easy.
Dealing it at the same time when you're still studying truly isn't easy.
He'll have lots to learn and, I'll have lots to listen and learn from! Yay~~~!!
Thanks to everyone that he's in .
Because then I'll have more chances to take care of him since he'll be so deng tired and busy! :P

Yeah, let's do it!

I am sure he will have more pek-cek times. Come on, pek-cek times will help people to improve if they know how to accept it in a different way. The more responsiblities you have, the more pek-cek you become sometimes. So I am ever ready to listen to his pek-cek stuffs.

I foresee I will be busier and also more pek-cek this year. There're so many things to do this year again!

He's not pek-cek. But I still give good massages wan. :P
Thanks Chin Chin for the pic! Muaks! :)

*Bran please don't be pek-cek seeing me writing you being pek-cek. I know you won't! If you do, all these while you practised to manage pek-cek-ness effort gone liao. :P*

* You hurt those you love most *

Have you ever hurt someone? I bet you do. I did. Everyone does.
Most of the time, it was unintentional. Don't you think so?
Most of the time, it was just because we were frustrated at the moment and wanted to defend ourselves and counter back with heavier words.
Most of the time, we planned to apologize but we waited, delayed, and never did in the end.

I realized, we tend to hurt people who we know better, even more. In other words, we tend to hurt people who we are more closed to. We tend to hurt people whom we love more. Hurt more not as in the frequency, but the intensity.

Being closed to them, we know their weaknesses, we know exactly which part of their heart is soft, we know what will make them sad. We use that as our weapons to protect ourselves. Especially when you are in the midst of quarreling, or in a situation where both are unhappy with each other, those simple yet disastrous lines can just slip out of your mouth unintentionally, without you knowing.

Those lines, could be unsatisfying thoughts which you have buried and never planned to tell the other, just because you hope things would get better (yet it didnt). Somehow when anger comes along, piled up pressure or unsatisfactory will blurt out all at once.

It's very important to open up and talk. It's even important to listen and digest. And when you are agitated, always take a moment to pause - to think - then only answer. There's no need to rebel right at that moment just to protect yourself. I've seen too much of instant replies of frustration which sparked up massive quarrels and led to nothing good. It's sometimes better to remain silent for a moment to think what is the most appropriate answer. :)

Eventhough sometimes you might not agree with what the other said, and sometimes you might not even feel nice to keep silent and letting them presumed that they won the debate, but it's still for the better. When everything has cooled down, then try talking rationally and settle the problem together. Sometimes the reason might just be the other person wasn't in a good mood. Or if your girlfriend howled at you for nothing, it might just be because she is having one of the days...menses. :P

* Kenny Sia? No... Kenny Mah!!! *

I am slow at this but still fortunate that I didn't miss out! I get to know him from my beloved cousin Ming!!
When she let me and JD read his 27 love songs I didn't give much of applause or astounding remarks on it but in my heart I went - Oh my gosh this guy can really write!!!

And his blog template is so cool!
I nearly missed out a great writer's contributions!

Come come..come in here:

Kenny Mah - Click In!

* Happy CNY! *

I know I'm late but I still want to wish everyone..

Happy Chinese New Year!

Received a lot of food -->A lot of blessings!

House has some CNY mood as well! :)

And the hamper my mom brought home was even given safety precautions! :p

Popjammerz wishes you:

A healthy and happy CNY! :)
May the young ones collect a lot of red packets!
May others enjoy the companion of your family and friends!

* Work & Travel USA! *

Holla! :P
Hi people~ I suddenly felt so energetic don't know why. Anyway, I get to know about this work and travel thingy from my senior last year and I heard of one of my friend who went for it.

Somehow they said that you get to choose to work either in the city or elsewhere. If it's in the city it would be like New York, New Jersey etc. Otherwise, it will be some place totally different, like Grand Canyon. You have to be a student to be eligible for this Work & Travel thingy.

My friend Amy worked at Grand Canyon, it's a very peaceful life. Without television and not much of access to the net. But of course the fun part is still the travelling part.

Today I met my cousin's friend again, Johnny. He just got back from there and he went there twice! Twice he worked at the city! Working as a lifeguard and the pay was 10USD per hour! Wow! And he worked from 730am - 1230am = 17x10 = 170USD per day! :D Besides, he traveled many places and he gets to enter all the themeparks for free!! FREE! He went Sea World, Disney World, Universal Studio etc..for free!!! Wow so syok! I heard his test for Lifeguard was quite easy at some places like Morey's Pier and tough at places like Florida. And he went to Bahamas by a 5D4N cruise which costed him only 300USD inclusive of EVERYTHING! So syok! He even said you can go to the Carribeans as well, it's near!

Seems like working in the city has more access to other better places. At the outskirts though is more of nature touch, it has its own attractions as well. But of course, working in the city has high pay and Johnny said working as Life Guard is the highest pay of all!

I quite regret for knowing this only during starting of 2008. If I'd knew it during my first year for sure I've tried going during sem break! Anyway, let me google more about it. During CNY I'm so going to pull Johnny to tell my mom more about this! :P He said ok, so yay! You know, parents always stress on quality experiences...blablabla..But, it's all up to what you want eventually. ^^

One of my 'take note' item. :)
Btw there are many work & travel USA. The one I mentioned here should be CIEE!
And of course, nothing comes in free everytime! It's not like you can just go there work for free, get paid and travel. But no worries, if you know how to use well, you can always get extra cash back when you're done! My friends usually still get extra money back to Malaysia! :)
So what is it?
Try finding out more on the web! :D

I'm spreading the news so that more freshies (especially blur ones like me) will get to know it earlier and have more opportunity to go! ^^

* Happy Day!!!! *

Today will be a happy day.
Why? Because I say it will be.
And hence it will.
When I start off saying it will be a happy day, it definitely will be a happy day.
Sometimes your mind works together with your heart, making you feel how you think you should feel.
So when I say it will be a happy day and I will be happy, I definitely will.
I will start off the day with smiles and laughter.
I will continue it with joy and love.
I will end it with thanksgiving and happiness~

So, today is a happy day, and IT IS!
When I take the first step to think it will be happy, everything seems so happy to me!!!
The clouds are smiling, the sun is shimmering, the sky looks so pretty, the birds look happier, the flowers blossom more beautifully, the buildings are shining, the whole world is rejoicing~!
I do I do I do feel like that!!
I can just smile all the way eventhough I'm walking back alone to my hostel and the journey back is so enjoying with me walking into the breeze!

So, yeah today is a happy day!

And when you feel happy, others will feel happy, everything will be better, and more happiness will come to YOU! :D

* April? I wish. *

Versacomm is the secretariat for Nutrition Month Malaysia 2009!!

My internship company asked whether I could work earlier starting at April instead of May so I can participate in the preparation of the biggest nutrition program in the country, which will be launched and officiated by the Minister during April. I just so love it when they told me "It will be a great exposure". It makes me think that they really want their interns to learn. :)

But, April????

I don't think it's easy. Final's at April...

No no no!!! I want to start work!!!!!!!!!!!!

There definitely will be a way. I shall start praying! :)
Okay, tomorrow I'm going to call Mr. Tang, and I'll go find my Head of Department to chat~
Dr. Nasir is always a great lecturer to talk with!!! I love him so much!! He's a person who can get down to your level and talk with you about anything, including nonsense and dirty jokes. Best is, he remembers my name. It's nice when people remembers your name. It means that at least they still remembers you. I felt so happy when Abang Zaki and Abang Farid called me by name while I went to vote for UPM elections. The 2 of them helped us so much during MyLDS. It's nice when Abang Farid went, "Masuk,masuk,masuk..okay Rue-Hann masuk~~". Wah~~~ my holy name~~! :P

^^ I should give them some mandarin oranges during CNY as well. Oh yeah talking about mandarin oranges, I gave a whole big plastic bag of tiny oranges to Mursyid. I remembers he always love that since I gave him last year. But when I gave him in front of all the other guys, oh gosh..I kena bombed lah. Firdaus went "Ngapa hanya bagi Mursyid?". And Megat, you were looking at me one kind! :P Ok ok, you guys can share ma, there are so many!!!

It's late night. I'm just back from Course CNY Reunion dinner. Great. Fun. Sweat.

Take care and sleep tight!

Today is just another happy and fulfilling day!!!

* Clearing conflicts *

I'm getting better and better with this. :)
Many people used to judge others by their first impression. They forgot to first think of the whole situation, the big picture, and to put themselves in the other person's shoe, before telling others. They think and judged before getting to know more, which then created conflict themselves.

For example:
One day you saw me and yet I didn't greet you at all. You might start saying: "What lah this Rue, look at me also one kind, so lansi!". Then 2 days later, you saw Sze and told her, yet Sze gave you an answer: "Har, you don't know meh? That day she just lost her laptop ma so her mood wasn't good!". By that time, you've already spread the news that Rue is lansi, which you perceived she is just because she didn't greet you; while others who really knows her, knew that she's not. So, you created conflict and misunderstanding yourself.

Sometimes, it's just like people commenting others not performing well. We spread the news that they are not doing well just because we heard from others that they aren't. But did we actually try to ask and understand personally why are they not performing up to standard? Listening from the person himself is the best. Listening from both parties will be awesome! :D

It's the same when it comes to studying the bible. Many people intepretated it wrongly. There are many hidden meanings in the bible and some might perceived it wrongly without even seeking the true meaning. Then they started to tell others that what's said in the bible aren't trustable. But did they really STUDY it?

Oh yeah, another great example:
A girl was talking so excitingly in front of her boyfriend but he doesn't listen at all. He was just thinking about something. He sent her back, gave her a goodbye kiss and drove off without saying anything. Girl then started to worry and think about anything she's done wrong. She started calling her girlfriends and ranted.

Back at the boy's house. He was on the couch still thinking: "Man U just lost the match...."

XD

Conflicts and misunderstandings always pop up whenever one doesn't want to listen, to know, and to understand more about others; but making their own judgement from how they ownself think and feel.

* 왜요? *

들었어요..친구한데서
그 친구는 한국에갈거에요.
이상해, 왜UM에서 한국에 가는 학생을 많아요?
그리고, 그 학생들이 모두 한국어를 할 수없잖아요, 어떻게?
제 친구는 한국어를 하나도 몰라요, 그렇게 도 갈 수있어?
왜 그들은 가는 기회를 쉽게 받을 술있어...?부러워. ><

친구나한데 말했어, "한국말 가르쳐주면 춯겠다~".
가르치고싶지만 시간이 없어서 못할거에요. 미안해.

어쨌든, 한국에 가는 사람을 가르치면 조금 슬프다.
당현하지! 자기 도 못가잖아~!

* It's frustrating when people only want to see what they want to see *

Yes, it is. There are some people who will choose what they want to see, what they want to hear etc. When they saw what they want to see, they feel happy. When they never see what they want to see, they expect to see what they want to see. If they don't get to see it, they won't feel positive. Sometimes they can't accept seeing things or hearing stuffs they don't want to. I wondered what is the problem. What are they afraid of? Afraid of things not going their way?

It's just the same as sometimes there are people who want others to do what they want them to do. You must follow whatever they say, do it their way. If you try to change the rules, bring in new stuffs, or just purely explain why you don't want to do it their way, they don't feel happy. It becomes worst when you are pointing out negative points of their attitude or behaviour or even, the way they do things. Some people like them will just ignore and turn their backs quickly. What are they afraid of? People revealing their weaknesses?

I don't understand.

* What blogthings say about ME *

It's quite a relaxing night and I took many quizzes on Blogthings. Yeah, blogthings are cool, I'm never bored with it. Maybe somehow what it says about me is true? ;P
I like taking quizzes which are more related on asking me choosing something,which will then reveal the personality behind. Then I can only see how true it is. Sometimes answering questions are rather biased. :P

Here they are:

Your Cupcake Says You Are Your Own Biggest Fan

At parties, you tend to be a lot of fun. You make everyone just a little bit happier. You have a fair amount of restraint in your life, but you don't go overboard. You let yourself enjoy life. The most important thing in your life is passion. You are dominant, vain, and a bit of a show off. To know you is to worship you.

The Cupcake Test

Popjammerz: True. I do think people will think that I'm show-offing sometimes. But I'm just snatching the opportunity to talk more on what I know more.

Your Word is "Fearless"

You see life as your one chance to experience everything, and you just go for it! You believe the biggest risk is being afraid and missing out on something amazing. Sometimes your fearlessness means you're daring. You enjoy risky activities. And sometimes your fearlessness means you're courageous. You're brave enough to do the right thing, even when it's scary.

What's Your Word?

Popjammerz: Quite True. But I still have little fears.

You Are Considerate and Mature

You approach the holidays with responsibility and cooperation. You'll do your part to make sure that everyone else has a happy holiday. You aren't particularly picky or high maintenance during the holidays. You're happy to be in the company of people you love, and you're willing to "go with the flow." Of all the types, you are the most likely to give someone exactly what they want. You're also the most likely to wrap all your presents well - to prevent peeking!

The Wrapping Paper Test

Popjammerz: Have to ask people around me whether it's true or not. But I think it's quite true :) Just that I am not sure whether I always give people exactly what they want.

You Are Clam Chowder

You are cynical and a bit provincial. You don't trust what's new or trendy. You are also indulgent and hedonistic. You like rich foods, and you would never count calories. You are not a big cooker - or a big foodie. Food is not complicated for you. You eat what's comfortable. And what's from a box or can. You're very low maintenance.

What Kind of Soup Are You?

Popjammerz: It's not that I don't trust new and trendy stuffs, I just don't really follow the trends. I choose what is comfortable for me. Yes I love food, I don't count calories although I'm a nutrition undergrad. Not to say low maintenance for food, I think I spend most on good food! :P

You Are a Chocolate Chip Bagel

You are creative, experimental, and and self-aware. You are a very bohemian person, and you tend to live a strange life. Of all the types, you're the most likely to go for strange food combinations. You tend to have coffee for breakfast. Anything with lots of coffee will do.

What Kind of Bagel Are You?

Popjammerz: Not quite true. People do say I'm creative but to what extend, I'm not sure. Living a strange life? Hey friends! Am I ar?! Living a korean life is it.. ;P Strange food combinations is never me, it would be either my brother or Bran. :P And NO. I don't have cofee for breakfast nor anything with lots of coffee..I just love having mocha once in a while.

Your Dress Says You're Upscale Stylish

Your Personal Style: Classic and elegant. You prefer to make a statement with a few quality pieces. Your Ideal Wedding: Traditional and formal, but not tacky. You think the most beautiful weddings are understated. Your Philosophy on Marriage: It's a serious commitment, and the couple entering it should be ready to work for their relationship. Your Perfect Marriage: Is calm, stable, deep, and meaningful.

The Wedding Dress Test

Popjammerz: I took this because I'm excited after hearing I'll become my cousin's bride's maid. Quite true for all. Just make the wedding dinner a little bit crazy and specially different from the norm.

Your Green Umbrella Says You're Insightful

When faced with adversity, you try to calm down first and act second. You can approach things from a fresh perspective, but you have to relax first. You are a very insightful and perceptive person. You offer up interesting critiques. You have amazing levels of concentration. You can focus completely on any problem until it is solved. On a rainy day: you take time to nap, day dream, and relax

The Umbrella Test

Popjammerz: Quite true to some extend. I think now I am a better person who calms down and think first. Yes I can't tihnk on the spot to give new ideas for people, I need to relax, and think. I don't think I'm very insightful, yet. Yes nap during a rainy day is cool...relaxing with a book is best!

You Are a One Piece Swimsuit

You are a bit conservative and traditional. And you are not at the beach to put your body on display! You are a low maintenance person. You like to look good, but you're not vain. Your taste tends to be sophisticated. You always opt for classy over trashy.

What Kind of Swimsuit Are You?

Popjammerz: Yes I like to look good, but not vain!

You Are a Spoon

You are a well rounded, balanced person. You are friendly and welcoming. You get along with everyone. You are easy going and laid back. You don't have any hang ups. Non judgmental and accepting, you are a comfort to people around you.

What Utensil Are You?

You Can Make 60% of Your Crushes Fall in Love With You

You certainly have this dating thing down - and you know how to charm most people. And when your charm seems broken, just think back to what has worked in the past. You have the tools to make almost anyone fall in love with you - you just have to put them into action.

Can You Make Anyone Fall in Love With You?

Blogthings rocks~

* AIESEC is good!....har?! *

Yesterday I was talking with a friend of mine and he said : "AIESEC is good! Graduate already easy to find work!"

I went: "HAR?!"

I "har" because I was surprised that he actually said that, considering he never joined @ activities at all and knew nothing much about @. Then I asked him why did he think like that. He told me he was finding work after graduating and all the companies he went all ask one same question: "Do you join AIESEC?"

And he said "no."

Then they asked him again, "Why not?"

Wah.......I am amazed.

Then I asked him what sort of companies. He answered, "Sime Darby Brunsfield..etc"

How nice it is, for companies to value AIESECers. :)

******
By the way, I was just back from Korean class. Take a look at the picture below:

That was what I captured during class. You know what happened?! My class is from 11 -1pm. It is always very quiet. But whenever it strikes 12 noon, you can hear :"~!@#$%^&*(*&^%$#@!@#$%^&&^%$"...

Very LOUD somemore! We look out the window, there he was, an Indian guy sitting at that same spot talking on his handphone.. I don't know he's scolding, or just talking, or might be even chanting. He's just so loud and so fast and it seemed quite funny. The situation was so funny. We were all quiet looking at one of the question papers, and then suddenly those "~!@#$%^" noice came in, and we looked up at each other, then teacher went to the window and all of us also busybodied and went to take a look. :P

Oh my, the journey is a tough one. The papers are so hard. But I've started it, and I want to end it well. I might be slow but I don't stop. I might start off slow but I pick up fast. Okay, so come on, bring it on!

******

Something random - Boots make girls hot & sexay~! Don't you think so? It makes a feminine girl more wild and attractive, hot to go! H-OT-T-O-G-O~
Aiyah! I was just trying out this boots and I think it's really nice mar. But I'm not going to buy it anyway, I don't really go for that wild hot route. I'm hot enough dah, naturally. *cough cough*

******

Have a nice day everyone!
Something last to share from someone:

"The more you learn, the more you contribute!"

* I'm hurt...*

...because I was happy.
That's just an example. ;)
We will never feel hurt if we were never happy. We will never feel happy if we never tasted sorrow before. We will never feel short if we were never exposed to people taller than us. We will never feel loved if we never loved. The shade allows us to appreciate the light and the experience of pain helps us value joy. I think, that is why I am always such a happy and joyous person. I'm gay most of the time.

I've just finished reading a book - "The Hollow Heart", a very interesting one. It's about a true story of how one woman's desire to have a baby almost destroyed her life. She went through 3 IVF attempts, lost 9 babies, and had an ectopic pregnancy which almost took away her life. Because of her desire, she lost her marriage and dream as a mother. It was quite funny as whenever I sighed or shouted "Ahh~~", Bran or my roomie dearest Pei Wen will ask: "Why, miscarriage again is it?".

It's not a very hot selling book. It's not a new book. But I love it. I get to see a lot of things, not just a woman failing her IVF attempts (which is kinda scary). Somehow suddenly I prefer this book more to Danielle Steel's books. Oh well, I think when I start reading Danielle Steel back I'll love her stories again. ^^

One nice phrase I'll always remember from this book is "Love the life you have now, not the life you think you should have". Quite true in some sense. If we don't love the life we have now, how are we going to move on to the life we want if we do have desires of wanting a better life? My life was once so great, and then it slumped down to quite a rocky one, and now it's getting so much better. I'd tasted the joy of a different life from now, I know how it feels like. I don't deny that I yearn for such kind of enjoyment, luxuries, and happiness back then, but it is not that I don't like my life now. I love my life now as how it is, and I know better days are to come. Have faith. Besides, always fantasizing of the life you think you should have will never help if you don't love your life now and start working. :)

So, cheers to that phrase!!!

****

By the way people, 7 months from today is my birthday.
Now that you've known, you have 7 months to prepare.
So, no excuses~ :P
*i'm so cruel!*

* I must know what I want*

It's hard to choose when life is offering you so much.
It's even challenging when what life offered seems all so welcoming to you.
Sometimes you would want to be greedy and take them all.
Then you hesitate because you know you can't take them all and treat all equally good.
There always have to be some sacrifices.
You are only one person and can't do everything perfect at the same time.





I am still prioritizing.
I must not let sudden attractions affect my judgement.
I must not just look at the surface, but deep down.
I must know what I really want.

Let me think. ^^

순간의 실수로 실패를 해도 실망하지 마라. 봄이 가면 여름이 오고, 가을이 가면 겨올이 오는 것처럼 힘든 알만 계속 되지는 않는다!

일이 생기면 더 노력하면 된다. :)

* What is University Life to you? *

I've been in University for nearly 3 years. I'm already considered a senior. Some even called me super senior. Down the road I've really had a great university life. I chose to do what I want while others don't want to. I chose to do what I don't want while others think should do. I have to just admit that everyone has their own desired university lives.

Friends around me live various university lives, according to their liking.
There are people who aim to grab hold of a guy while being in a university (Yes, there is really!), and have a great romance life in University. While some might say it's boring and all, but that's what they like, so it isn't wrong.

There are people who want to graduate with a 1st class degree or perhaps with a constant 4 flats, so they worked so hard and just stay in their room most of the time to study. While some might say they are missing out the fun and all, but that's what they like, so it isn't wrong.

There are people who want to acquire as much skills as possible so they get involved in many activities, having a very busy week with meetings almost every nights. While some might wonder what's the use for being so busy and joining so many activities and all, but that's what they like, so it isn't wrong.

There are people who hope to have a very happening university life by having fun at the most happening night clubs, eating out at the famous restaurants and hanging out like there's no end to it. While some might think they are wasting time and opportunity, but that's what they like, so it isn't wrong.

There are people who just choose to study and play computer games during their university life, and wait to graduate. While some might think they have better things to do, but that's what they like, so it isn't wrong.

This post is specially for my brother who will be entering University soon. University is a great place to be in. It's the best time for us to do anything (almost), and the best time for us to explore ourselves. So get involved. It's also the best time for us to play and hang out. So get some fun. It's also the best time to be in a relationship because there's no 9-5 5 days work to be worried of and you have all the time in your hands. So get in love. It's also the best time to gain new genuine friends. So make more. It's just an awesome time to learn and to grow and to enjoy as much as possible at the same time equipping yourself as much as possible before you graduate and step into a world of Work.

Funny for me here because I have 2 different university lives I wanted. I think it's basically because I have 2 different personalities. I wrote about that before Here. It's very simple. Part of me loves to relax, and go with the flow. Part of me loves to be always on the move, and race with time. So, part of me yearns for a university life which is more carefree and relaxing, being able to just do things which I love with all the time I have. Yet, part of me hopes for a university life which is more happening, fun, exciting and challenging doing things which I love doing.

I always said to myself and to some friends: "No, next semester I want to be more relaxed, I want to do what I can do slowly and just enjoy. I don't want to join too many activities. I don't want to have lesser sleep. I don't want to rush for assignments." But it seems like it never happened. And I guessed I know why. It's because I decided to choose the life I want. It's because I simply just love it. It's because...it makes relaxation and enjoyment feel better and well spent. It's because I know I won't regret choosing a University Life I want which is such. :)

I have 3 semesters left.
Time past so fast. Freaking fast.
I can still remember the first day I entered Kolej 17 with Sze Chean as our facilitator.
I can still remember the first day I went to AIESEC AG with Looi and Elfreda shouting.
I can still remember the first day I went to IK gathering with Michael, Joshua, and Je Mein always coming to visit us.
I can still remember the first day I joined PAP with Zi Hao as our great team leader.
I can still remember the first night I went to Course Night with all my lovely seniors there.
I can still remember......so many more which continues from the first step I took.
I can.............FEEL THAT I AM SO OLD NOW.
I can................feel that my uni life is coming to an end.
and I don't want it to just end like that.
I haven't had enough,yet.

* Finding Happiness *

Life is a great teacher. It teaches you pain and inspires you how to seek joy, love, peace and hope. Sometimes some of us face difficulty with a heavy heart. Sometimes some of us can't think of what to do and dwell in the valley of hopelessness. Sometimes some of us think that we should not enjoy or be happy when we are facing troubles or uphill moments. Sometimes some of us think that a problem can only be solved when we focus on the problem itself only.

You see, sometimes people neglected the importance of seeking simple joy while they face trial and tribulations during some points in life. They don't get to see that loosening up a little bit, letting your hair down and doing other things which make them happy will also help them solve their problems.

When a person is happy, he will love himself more.
When a person is happy, he will regain energy and strength.
When a person is happy, he will be able to think positively.
When a person is happy, his brain tends to work much better.
When a person is happy, his cells are happy and thus, his body will be much healthier.

When a person is happy - he will have better chances to confront and overcome his sorrows, problems or pain. At least, he will be able to have a brighter spirit to face it. So, when life puts you on a test itself, remember to find happiness along the rocky tedious journey. Take time to stop, rest, and observe what's around you. You will discover that it helps you discover more unexpected surprises.

Read a book. Sing a song. Dance. Paint. Enjoy the morning breeze. Appreciate the sunset. Laugh with your friends. Take a short walk. Gaze at the stars.
Love. Laugh. Live.

Whatever it makes you happy, never forget it during your hard times.
Learn to find your own happiness which is important for the soul, the mind, and the body!

Chinese. Korean. Japanese.

I was given this title for my homework, stating the differences and the similarities. With 2 dictionaries, an online translator to help, I finally get it done! To be honest, I have never really properly finish up one homework whole-heartedly during 2008. So it was one of my resolution that I should do all homework using full strength and focus! I think I did my first assignment of year 2009 rather well :)

Since I've used quite some time to do it why not just let me share:

Chinese, Japanese and Korean mostly have fair skin and black hair. Besides, they also have dark coloured eye balls like black or brown colour. However, Chinese and Korean have more slanted and smaller eyes compared to the Japanese. Exclude the actors and actresses please. Normally, Japanese is also shorter compared to the Chinese and Korean. Also, different from Chinese and Japanese, Korean have a wider bust and buttock. They have a broader body frame.

Language learning is slightly the same. Some Chinese characters will appear while learning Korean and Japanese. In Korean we call it "Hanja" and in Japanese we call it "Kanji". I think Chinese is the hardest language to be learned because each and every word is different. For Korean and Japanese, we are able to read as long as we know the characters. But for Chinese it is rather difficult because each character for each word is totally different and has different meanings. Also, Chinese language has many words, nearly 20000!

Another similarity is the culture of bowing. However, Japanese practise bowing more compared to Chinese and Korean. The Chinese and Korean bow either for respect, death or apologies. In China, handshake is used more frequently and in Korea the people bow to greet people with higher status level or elders..Japanese bow will just bend their waist and bow down anytime.

One interesting thing that I read is Chinese, Japanese and Korean all eat rice but the way they eat it differs. The Chinese usually picks up the rice bowl and scoop rice into their mouth with a chopstick (used like a spoon). The Japanese picks up their bowl and “picks” rice bit by bit with their chopsticks, without having their mouth on their bowls. They find “scooping” to be impolite. The Korean “pick” rice like the Japanese, but does not lift up their bowl. If you do notice too, the Chinese chopsticks are the longest compared to Japanese and Korean's. Korean has the shortest chopsticks and are mostly quite flat in shape.

The female traditional dress for those 3 countries are different also. Chinese has a more sexy Cheong Sam because it is very body fitting and have high slit end. Well actually that's not the real traditional dress, its' quite modern. For Japanese’s Kimono or Yukata, it is not as body fitting as Cheong Sam but quite attractive also because it is very tight at the waist. Korean’s Han Bok is however rather loose and big, not showing a female’s body shape. Partly is because Korean girls have broader hips so they prefer it to be loose starting from the lower part of the breast. Also, Korean girls with smaller breast will be more beautiful in her Han Bok as the big wide skirt starts to flow down from the chest. So, girls with bigger breast usually likes to push down or with whatever means make their breast smaller, while wearing Han Bok.

I personally think Korean and Japanese dramas are more interesting compared to Chinese dramas. Most Korean and Japanese artists are also more talented than Chinese singers. Majority of Korean and Japanese singers can dance and sing well at the same time, and quite many of them can compose and produce music as well as acting great. :)

About today:

"I am going to Europe!!!Italy! Venice!"
That was what Avelynn screamed today in class. Yeah her company Kimberly Clarke sponsored her Sales & Marketing team a company trip which is one of the employee's incentives - to Europe.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............................... Alan got sponsored by Standard Chartered to Japan. Now Avelynn got sponsored to Europe.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......................................I can tahan!

*********

Teacher told us today something interesting.
Some headhunter called her to ask whether any Malaysian Korean speaker who also knows Malay and Chinese as well? My teacher really wanted that job because the pay was great but she couldn't, because she doesn't know Malay and Chinese.

The job pay - RM 6000.

For fresh grads - RM 4500!!!!!!!!

RM 4500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* I almost got killed *

You know somehow in 2008, I almost tripped, and who knows I might fall straight down and knock my head. What if I injured my spine or some part of my brain got shaken so bad till it causes serious damages? I might get killed!

Or else, my dignity might be slaughtered for falling down in front of so many people! :P

So who's the killer? Or the killers? They are all in the library. The library.

.
.
.
.
Down
.
.
Further Down
.
.
.
.
.

Yes, this is it. That tiny little line. That...VERY FAMILIAR stuffs you used to see.
The wellknown laptop's adapter's cable.
See, sometimes the battlefield is quite okay, there's only one cable.
One cable. One Killer.
.
.
.
But then being single might be lonely
.
.
.

So there you go. 2 cables. 2 killers.
One which might trip your left leg, and the other will be well prepared to make you fall by tangling your right leg.
.
.
Then at some point of time, there might be some busybody killer who would want to disturb the pair. Or perhaps he might be a cover agent..
.
.
.

Okay. 3 cables. 3 killers.
or perhaps 2 killers and 1 cover agent?
I don't know.
.
.
It's pretty scary you know, when people work in teams.
You can see the strength.
You can feel the oomph.
If it's a team of killers,
you can smell death.
.
.
.
.

Behold...
Teamwork will scare the opponent off.
.
.
.
Anyway then I came across
.
.
.
A scene which spoke to me
.
.
.
"The more the merrier"
.
.
.

A DISASTER....

See, that's what I see in my library. It's really scary though it seemed to be harmless. I saw people fell down. I saw people tripped over and the cable was pulled along...and so goes the laptop- *piak*, FLAT ON THE FLOOR.

I'm not a person who always look down while I walk, so I used to be quite careless and fall. We must look up when we walk and feel confident!!! Isn't it so? *joking* Yes, so at times I nearly fell because of all this cables...and God knows, what would a fall cost me. :P

* Who says I cannot go out with other guys? *

I'm quite a busy girl. I have a very busy yet contented life. I am occupied with studies and activities and personal. I have a nice family to talk with. I have great cousins to hang out with. I also have different circle of friends to hang out with. I also have quite a number of good guy friends to hang out with.

Today some people's talk sparked me. I know they are joking but anyway, I do think there are people who have such mentality out there in this huge world.
"I already have a girlfriend why must I go out and see other girls.."
And I bumped into CCH today at Alamanda and he saw me and asked : "Hey are you hanging out with the wrong guy ar?" when he saw Imran. *Hey I'm just quoting, I know you are joking :) *

Well it's not that it's wrong but there do are people who have such attitude and mentality. Everyone has their way to love and to live. Just that mine differs. Who says someone who's in a relationship can't go out with people of the opposite gender?

I admit. I like to mix with people and surprisingly I always mix quite well and easily with guys, to the extend my mother once joke : "Guys will all treat you just like a brother/sister and you will have a hardtime finding a boyfriend" or "No guys will want you because you are close to every guys". I don't flirt purposely and I don't think I'm flirting. I know some people always joked and called me "buaya" but well, I can just say that I was being....friendly and sociable, and maybe - talkative. Well, mixing well with guys is not wrong, just like some guys who mix really well with girls too. Fair and square. And yeah I'm close with guys and I treat them very good, but I have more to give to a boyfriend, and even more to give to a husband. So you could see how good I can be. :P *perasanness in me. sorry, it's always there*

Some might think I might not be a good girlfriend because I still go out with guys. But to me it's just a matter of the motives you carry. I like to keep in touch with good old friends, catch up and etc. And sometimes I prefer to do it 1 on 1 or with 2 or 3 most, because in this way we can really talk and listen, that is how you foster a friendship. I feel comfortable talking with them solely as a friend, a friend whom I treasure, a good friend who I like to keep in touch with, that's all. If there's any possibility for a girl who has the intentions to have some backup lifelines by keeping in touch with guys so that there will still be guys ever ready for her after she broke up, I don't think it's right. Some told me I should do so, be realistic and etc. It's not that I'm not being realistic. And just because it is, it doesn't mean it should be (Imitating Mrs Boss from Australia the movie). What's the thing with having back ups in a relationship? That's sheerly unreasonable to me. However there really are people like these and being able to have such intentions might just lead them to falling into more wrong-side-business in a relationship (I'm imitating Nullah from Australia the movie!). Why are they so afraid of having no more other options after breaking up... There surely will be someone for you, no worries. :)

It's the same applied to guys. Who said a guy who has a girlfriend cannot hang out with his girl-friends? Who says he can't peek at other girls while shopping? Yes he can, he can compliment, he can say she looks good, that's it. Fullstop. Period. If he goes more than that to 'she looks and feels so much more better than my girlfriend', then deng him. Any of you girls encounter this you can give me his name, I can help you make a "deng" post. :P

It all comes down to trust and being faithful. It takes a lot of courage and heart to trust a person, and this works both ways, or else it will be tiring for both the one who chose to trust and the one who doesn't. Last but not least, honesty is always the best policy. If things are not right, say it out and deal with it, of course, together. Time might not heal some things in life, truth will. :)

So at the end of the day, who says a taken girl like me cannot hang out with other guys? I know what I am doing. I know how I am feeling. And I know where my heart belongs.
Plus come on, everyone wants to hang out with me how could I be so cruel to reject them! They are all my lovely friends!!!! :P

* Thoughts in library *

#1
Thanks girls. I love all of you. :)

#2
Never perceive people too much as how you expect they will be. It will make you disappointed either with them, or with yourself. :)

#3
The past shall never ruin a friendship. ^^
I am happy for I gained it back.

#4
Happy yet feeling complicated.
Encouraged yet feeling ...
Why does life always like to put me in such a situation..

#5
I've been dealing with it all alone everytime.
Because I don't know how to open up and ask others to help me solve.
And, because I know they can't solve it.

#6
Ah Sa thanks so much for helping me with the journals. :)

#7
And to someone faraway, thanks for always asking me to do what I want to.

#8
To someone at home, I hope you are doing well and please stop eating maggi mee. ;P

#9
To someone at Malacca, I miss you loads and can't wait to see you during new year!

#10
Library is too cold.
I shall go find some food to keep me warm!

* Today *

I've found out:
Sometimes in life, the more you want something, the more it won't get to you.

I think:
The decision I made 3 years ago happened for a reason.
I chose to not go happened for a reason.
I chose to reject happened for a reason.
I was given that choice happened for a reason.
I chose to take it happened for a reason.
And now I see it clearer.
People might not see it yet.
However someone reassured me today that I didn't make the wrong decision.
Thanks so much.
I really need to make full use of what I have in my hands.

I realized:
Something which I can't tell here.

* His Jokes (ep1) *

Pastor Daniel always have a lot of great jokes and I think I should start compiling them, starting by 2009!

These are some I could remember(Not the full version but at least same content) he shared today:

#1
There's a person who is not allowed to eat pork at his country. When he went to another faraway country, he saw different people savouring those nice pork. He was surprised! It looked delicious! Huge pork. Since he's at another country, he decided to try out once. For he didn't think that there might be someone else around.

He found a nice restaurant and entered. He ordered pork. While he was waiting for the dish, someone entered the restaurant and it turned out to be a person from the same country of his! Well it's always nice to see people of the same root at a faraway land. Just like koreans would be happy to see koreans at Africa. :P

"Can I share your table?" he asked. And of course he didn't reject.

The 1st dish came, and there it was, a huge piglet. Funny, with an apple stuck in front of the mouth.

That person then told his surprised guest: "Oh, I didn't know the apple I ordered will be served in such a way!"

A story of leisure. A story of learning too.
It taught us: Be consistent.

#2
A man was driving, fetching his wife.
When he reached the traffic light, he drove pass the yellow light which supposed to mean be ready to stop.
His wife asked: "What were you doing??"
He answered: "Darling, I'm taking initiatives~"

Lesson learnt - Different interpretation differ among people. Your thinking and knowledge will influence your life! :)

#3
A little boy asked a woman:
"Do you read the bible?"
"Yes I do"
"Do you pray everyday?"
"Yes I do"
"Are you a christian?"
"Yes I am"
"Ok la, can you help me take care of my 50 cents while I go swimming?"

Keyword - To be trustworthy. Those who are trustworthy and faithful in little things in life will learn to be faithful in big things.

#4
Many of us frust our anger.
Some have a Degree in BA - Bad Attitude.
Some even have MBA - Master of Bad Attitude. :P

* What a VOC! *

I just got back from Vote Of Confidence. It's the stage to pass for the candidates before they enter the interview stage.

After my korean class, I went to TUC, at 1pm. What a great time. 1pm, a time when all the jam started. Then, it was raining so heavily, the jam went worst. And because of the rain..My boots were wet, which led to another incident making me can't enjoy the VOC continuously.

Why?

My boots koyak!!! Deng! Fortunately there's Hazwan to take me to the nearest cobbler to mend it! After two hours, I need to leave that interesting session to claim my boots. Thanks Hazwan dear, it was really very kind of you! :)

VOC was great. I've never been to last year's. This year I went to support Bran, Chloe and Caf, and to also see new things. I know it would be very interesting and it was.

It's nice listening to different POV, different perspectives, different way of how people think and react. Some strategic answers and critical thoughts really enlightened me a lot. I loved the forum with Mr. Azran, CEO of Air Asia X. His warming up questions were not difficult yet not easy too. But it really let us know much of a person. And other questions boosted quite a lot of interesting answers, especially when Fadli said he would give him back the RM100000. Quite a slumber answer, but the way of answering it was awesome. The way! :)
I remembered there was one general question asked, which is "People oriented or Result oriented". Most of them choose people oriented. I think majority of aspiring leaders would choose that too. But if you ask me to choose I really don't know which. I think both are important elements just that People oriented attitude comes first. We need to be people oriented to create a bond, which enables a better result oriented team. I always believe when a team bonding is strong, the drive to achieve target goals will be stronger and more persistent. If everyone is result oriented within their own scope, he or she will just aim to finish up their own job, and it would be very stressful as he/she won't have the team spirit supporting them. Yeah, so, bond drives passion and commitment, which boosts results of achievements! Someone confessed today about how he was and I am very glad that you knew what was wrong and are changing the attitude. Way to go! I am so proud of you! You know who you are. :)

It's truly a nice experience. I'm very happy for Bran and Caf who passed the VOC. Although Chloe didn't get through, but she did well beyond expectations. I admired her courage to go for it. It certainly will be a great experience for her. ;) Congrats to the rest who passed too! :D

And oh yeah, when they were announcing the result by pouring water unto them (the traditional way), I was so scared when others were already poured but Bran wasn't yet. I kept on pulled Skit's sleeves. Skit would be laughing in his heart devilishly since he knew the votes. :P
Well, that's about it. All the best to those for the coming interviews. :)

Cafrey!!!

**************************************
Now, about myself.
Today we had a whole thick stack of korean embassies' past year papers to practise.
The major exam is on April. I know I have much to brush up.
I want to do it well. I have 3 months to go.
3 months of intensive learning and practising.
I told to myself I will do more extra learning.
It's really tough. Sometimes I even wondered whether will I pass it through.
Intermediate level for the embassy test isn't easy.
But for what I've hold on to for years, I will work hard.

**************************************

Now, about pictures.
I was browsing some pictures in my laptop and just to share a few:


Nice board of Memory Lane.
It reflects the most important ingredient for Life.















Yes yes yes!



















So true.

* DUMC 2009 theme *

Every year, my church has a different theme.
They grow with the themes and I think that's why it's always expanding.
Themes help you to be more focused, in order to grow optimumly, and achieve the result you wanted.
2008 - Year of Alignment.
For year 2009 - It's a Year of INFLUENCE.

One of my 2009 resolution : To constantly go church.

I know it's hard. At times I slacked. But I can do it. Nothing is impossible with Him. Amen!

**************************

Next, I've thought about what I want to do in year 2009.
Not sharing my resolutions, just more of what I hope I can experience:

1. Reading the whole day at Starbucks Genting
2. Cycling at Taman Pertanian, this time with those who are going to grad. Yea Fido, Kaiser, William and etc.. ;)
3. Art gallery visit
4. A night of chips and drinks with some chatty friends to spend the whole night with
5. Try every restaurants at Alamanda Putrajaya since I'm beside it for 1 whole year.
6. Watch a Gold class movie

Well I believe the list will add on. Everyone has many stuffs they hope to experience..be it simple little things like getting real drunk. Which I had not, and don't hope to. It's awful lar.

* I disliked you *

I came across something today and I felt the disappointment back I felt that night. I just wanna say I disliked you that moment.
I know you said you were joking but I don't really like it.
You think you did most of the things and as if I did nothing.
You said I was lazy,huh?
Who was the one who helped you clarify and cleared up your doubts
Who was the one who read along with you and helped you make better justification
Who was the one who took over your place when you were absent for that whole deng thing
Who was the one who did the head-ache parts when you needed to get back urgently
and more..
I couldn't blame you. I know if I was in your position, I needed to be absent too, I needed to go home too. So I didn't blame you.
I was okay with everything. I know everyone has their own responsibilities and all of us were doing rather well. I was also very fortunate to have you with me that time. I appreciated all you'd done.
But for once, you said that I was lazy.
This I was not happy with.
You don't have the right to say that.
Because I didn't did nothing.

If you were really sincerely joking, then fine, I was sensitive.
What a nice joke, huh?
Can you joke in a better way??

Something happened in 2009 which made me thought about this which occured in 2008. :)
And many more questions.

Don't worry friends, I'm just reminiscing how I felt back then. ^^

* New template *

To have a new 2009, I'll start off with a brand new look for my bloggie!
Okay, not so brand new yet.
A lot of stuffs need to be modified though.
But many of you kept on asking "Rue why la need password ar enter your blog?"

So sorry I denied your access cuz I was modifying.
Sorry Randall, don't cry...I didn't hate you. :P
Haha!!!

So, hola!

Time to change!

HELP! - but then there's one prob. My "labels" always can't be shown at the posts!!!!

* A post for my boy *

Tomorrow's his day.
The elections. Oops, I meant VOC.
He took the road less travelled.
Be strong and you'll do well. :)
Have faith.

Whatever turns up, you know I still support you.
You know all of us still support you.

"The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they became obvious"

* Playing safe? *

Majority of times, older people would ask younger ones to be rational and realistic.
In short, they meant 'do what you ought to do' or 'do what the rest does'.
In super short, play safe.
After grad, get a job, get a good pay, get some promotion..yada yada yada..

Sometimes they don't understand what you are going through.
Sometimes they think that whatever you do now must have a benefit for the future.
And sometimes they don't see the benefit that you see.
That's when sometimes they talk so much as if the thing you do is not worthwhile in their eyes.
So what?
Why can't they understand the fact that whatever you do has benefits, it's just up to how we utilise and maximise it?

At times you try to explain to them but it's quite complicated.
Most of the time they like to see just only the surface, but not wanting to deeply understand what you're doing and why you choose to do it.
And when they do ask and your abrupt answer is : "Because I like it.",
there you go. You'll get more lectures, not encouragement (most of the time). So don't use much of "Because I like it."

I know, they endured more hardships and life experiences.
They know what need to be done, what need to be done later, and what need not to be done. They do think for us.
But everyone has their own different lives.
Everyone has their own way of living.
Did they take the chance to try living a life which is totally different from what they chose now?
If they didn't, how would they know that it's definitely not right?

They ask us to be rational and realistic.
There are many ways for it. ;)
