In My Own Words

Re-Ignite

2009-12-14T17:28:00.004+08:00

If you’re reading this, by any chance, I’m really surprised and congratulations cause you’ll be one of the super rare visitors here after I feel like I abandoned this place for decades already…

Lots of things happened….I don’t even know when and where should I start…let’s just put it this way; a mixture of shock, happiness, disappointment, and virtually anything else…. THAT’s what happened from a year ago.

Personally, I prefer to blog about feelings and “inner events” rather than what I do everyday and stuffs…it’s like I’m not exactly reporting what I do everyday nor any events I attend….and that’s rather consistent with the concept of this blog.

So, instead of blogging about what I did some time go, I’ll rather describe what I FELT months ago.

Let’s just start with……say, where I stopped – AS exam. You may think I could be the type that study hard at home and all, but I can sincerely tell you that’s so wrong. In fact, at times I think AS exam is one of the lowest priority in my life…the fact that I lacked motivation for it, and I don’t exactly see a point why am I doing science when I’m horrid in Maths…so let’s just put that aside, and let the oncoming results finish the job.

Moving on from Exams and college, I found a job at a…say, a coffee shop serving >RM10 for a cup of coffee.

And what happened there, reignites a feeling that has lost in me years ago.

And just when it started to spark…

It’s diminished again.

What’s left is the feeling of missing someone in which I’ve lost years ago….

The news of her having to leave came to a trebling shocker really…unexpcted, and totally out of the script... it’s like just when I started to grow fond of her, BAM! this gotta happen…

I have to admit that I was emotionally affected after she left…more careless, more volatile and the latter caused a commotion in which ended up I’ve gotta leave the workplace as well… although deep down, I AM rather happy and feel contend working there…but I feel all these are meant to happen. It’s like everything has lined up and when it comes together, it can’t be stopped.

And so this is where I am, in this situation. For now I just want to forget her and everything happened there, and I just want to celebrate this Christmas and New Year celebrations…till then, happy holidays.

Akon's "Freedom" Beach Concert

2009-06-12T13:13:00.005+08:00

Okay I know I abandoned this thing for quite some time already. The reason why there's so little update is that...

1. AS exam.
2. No mood.
3. Nothing to write, because I prefer to blog feelings rather than event, therefore when thing's are not happening, I got nothing to write. I don't like to write stuffs like "today me, fren1, fren2, fren3, and fren4 went to have lunch at XXX together!" kinda stuff because I feel it's quite pointless.

Anyway, in terms of what's happening is that, AS exam is over! and MORE importantly, AKON is coming to Sunway next month!

Okay I know most of you will be like "errr...Akon? Spend RM88 for his concert? Eh gtg bye" cuz most of you are from TARC who prefer alot more to Wang Lee Hom's concert than his (DUH).

Probably if I give you free tickets for Akon's concert also you all won't go. But I'm not a typical Chinese as I always say, and hell yeah I'm looking forward to partying at his concert!

It's gonna be a beach concert at Sunway Lagoon, and I'm sure it's gonna be hell lot of fun!

Shootout

2009-05-09T00:44:00.006+08:00

1 year gone. 1 year since I started A levels. And it just feels like yesterday.

In this post I'm going to get things straight and to the point.

1. I got fed up. Fed up of dreaded controversy between people around me. Fed up of living with the constant reminder of mistake of taking A levels. Fed up with TAR College life. AS exam starts next week and I'm seriously NOT doing anything at all about Maths paper. Let's face it, I'll be screwed enough to do AS Maths. And if it goes on, I'll be screwed deeper in A2. I got out of jail in SPM, really. I'm already struggling for some form of motivation for Maths SPM, and what makes ME think I'll work multiple times harder to strive in A-levels?

2. I'm a person who hates stress. I know it's essentially unavoidable, but I always reduce it. It's like if I work hard, I'll play harder. There's a constant direct proportionality in the relationship between those two. I don't favour locking myself in the study table in a room and study the whole day, irrespectable it's AS exam tomorrow. I prefer turning the music on while doing things, or study while seeping coffee away in a coffeeshop. I mean, that's how I do things. This give you a pretty good idea about the type of person I am when facing something "stressful", because exam does not really mean stress to me. Albeit it does not work all the time. As such a lazy and irresponsible person you think I am judging from what I wrote, I know I can achieve things provided I have the motivation and interest. If I wanna do something I really want, then I'm 100% determined to do it.

3. I don't care anymore. Not about exams, but in terms of friends and stuffs. I don't want to get involved anymore. No more posts like the previous 1 after this, definately. 1 year passed and A levels is less than half a year away. How much can happen in that period? The "I know you but I don't really know you" kind of interaction between people just does not work. I can't please everyone. I believe in chemistry. The type of bond that can only be formed through time and consistent togetherness. Sometimes having just a few close friends- friends that were built through thick and thin together- friends that you can trust- at the end of the day, are still the best people around you.- People in which you feel most comfortable with. I'm just going to complete this AS exam for now- and God knows if I'm going to even sit for A2 exam.

The message is clear, and I know- I might experience backlash after this, especially from some of you after reading this post, but that's how the url name of this blog came from.

The Story So Far II

2009-04-22T20:48:00.003+08:00

"It's a norm that 98% of the boys will go for typical, pretty girls with long smashing hair". Extracted from Cal.

Yes I gotta agree with that. I mean, who in this world does not like pretty people? It goes equally to both sexes. Well, even if the term "pretty" is removed from the sentence, which would go like "It's a norm that 98% of the boys will go for typical girls with long smashing hair", I personally would think it still makes sense.

Somehow, girls with long, straight hair, finished off with a touch of highlight are more appealing. Well, in the sense that they are more attractive and more sexually appealing. It also gives a more feminine impression. Of course these are what I personally think.

But it's not necessary for all guys to treat their gf as accessories. What I can say is that, not all guys are like that.

In the society nowadays, looks do play a major and important role. I don't think one can 100% deny that. I think those who don't accept that are those who can't face the harsh reality of life in these days. Its like when 2 secretaries go for a job interview with man boss, one who's slim and pretty and the other is not so good looking, I believe the boss would choose the former one, regardless her qualifications are not as good as the latter's. After all, he's going to face her everyday at work, right? I mean, the human brain sends positive feedbacks to the body when the eye catches beautiful things, don't you think so? It kinda provide impetus for us and that's what keep us going. Applied to me, at least.

Oh, talking about looks and GF and BF and relating them together, some, if not one group of people condemn what look like a dubbed "miss-matched" couple. The only reason, I think, why this happened to them, whom I think are very happy with each other, is that the overall difference of aesthetic values between them. Don't get me wrong, I don't do that, and I wouldn't.

In fact, if looked at a different perspective, I've gotta say that that girl is one of a kind, one who does not mind the outer appearance of her bf. She's a smart girl- she knows what she's doing, she's mentally strong and I believe she chose the one who has the best inner quality, qualities that people from the outside would not be able to see.

To a specific group;
Instead of critisizing others, why not just concentrate on your own affairs and leave them alone. We don't know what's so special about him, none of us in our region knows, but it's isn't fair to judge people based on what could only be seen from the outside. It's quite difficult to type all these because you guys are my friends, but so do the ones from the other side.

As I said before, and I'm saying it again, I would prefer to keep myself in the balance between people, I prefer to be a neutral party in any case. I'm not specifically attached to certain groups of friends, and that's how I want to be.

T.G.I.F

2009-04-17T00:16:00.001+08:00

I hadn't have quite as good as a morning like today for quite a while already.

There's no better way to start the morning than seeing someone you adore, someone you admire, and you actually walked up to them and say hi and had a little chat.

A little goes a long way. It's been tough because it's difficult enough to find some time and space to do that.

The week hasn't been very good. I constantly feel anxious for no apparent reason, nervous for nothing and blur and blunt. But a Friday like this is totally a pivotal turning point since. It just kicked off a good weekend to come!

Well, if you wonder who that person is, it's the person I've mentioned in this post. But well, the difference when I wrote that then and now is that, I decided to try and have a go at her, provided I have the opportunities of course. Even if I have the slimmest chance, then why not?

As what T.I. rap in "No Matter What", he says:

"Every obstacle
Make impossible possible
Even when winnings illogical
Losing's still far from optional"

Sepang

2009-04-06T16:54:00.007+08:00

It just so happen that Mr Daniel Teh had some complimentary tickets to catch the F1 at Sepang on Sunday! and since he got excess tickets, he asked me to go and, why not?? It's like sum kinda once in a lifetime experience. So we- including his sister and her boyfriend- left at around 2.45pm.

Thanks to the goddamned jam we're late and we missed the missed the start of the race. Damn. But our seats are located at one of the best place, along to long stretch at the starting grid, directly across the pit stop.

Seriously, you've gotta have earplugs especially when you're sitting at the place where the cars travel at their fastest speed. It's like your eardrums will break if you don't.

Soon, the sky turned dark and lightnings constantly striking. The cars started to change to wet tyres.

And, as expected, it started to rain heavily.

Soon, red flag is waved, indicating race to be stopped until the rain recedes. Then the race would be restarted.- Or, supposedly to be like that.

BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld is the first who stopped along the starting grid.

Followed by Lewis Hamilton...

And others..

The safety car is soon deployed.

Then, as the rain come to a stop, as every driving got ready and into their cars, suddenly it was announced that the race will be suspended and will not be restarted- probably because it's already 6.52pm at that time, and if it does continue, it will more lilely become a night race.

In the end, Jenson Button won it by half points.
Therefore it's the end of a dramatic race and a quite dissapointing one for the spectators.

The Story So Far

2009-04-04T17:23:00.005+08:00

Having played the GTA Vice City and San Andreas series, at last I managed to feel GTA IV today. (I know I'm kinda outdated, but hey, I'm unable to install the game in my pc because of it's ultra- high PC system requirements okay).

So since we completed our last paper for our trials today, which is Chemistry- For Bio takers there's still a paper on Monday- we went to cc. And I have to say, I immediately fell in love with it on the first time I ever played it. By far better than it's previous series.

It's such a superb game that I feel like trading in my current processor to the latest processors to support this game in my home. Damn oh damn. Why must the requirements be so damn sky high? Sigh.

Anyway, as mentioned the last paper is done, and overall I think i did OK. Personally, results for this term does NOT matter to me. Why oh why I'm studying A-levels. As I said before, I don't mind studying Physics and Chemistry. Or GP. Or even History. But why oh why I'm sitting for Maths, I don't know. I could've been studying culinary right now, I really could. Because that's the thing I enjoy most. Enginee- what? Who am I kidding?

The only thing I can do now is to get on with it untill the end of the year. After that, I might as well just fuck it, whatever the outcome is. I'm starting to feel what I have in my life right now is not what I want, and I'm not satisfied with what I have. Friends are always the best companions in life, because we're always in the same wavelength. So I really do appreciate my friends now, especially you who're reading this.

Others? Family? Are they the closest and the most important people in everyone's life? I'm really starting to doubt that. I feel questions are being raised on the inequalities at home.
I spend most of my time staring at the monitor and writing blog like this rather than with them. I think this statement contemplates exactly the the situation now.

New York New York! Deli

2009-03-15T13:43:00.004+08:00

My friends and I were at 1u the other day and we decided to have a try at the opened not very long ago New York New York Deli on the ground floor at the New Wing.

The menu

Since I've taken my lunch earlier, I juz ordered their dessert.

"Lake Chocolate"

It's basically a few pieces of mouth-bite sized fried bananas, some strawberries and a scoop of vanilla ice-cream topped on generous amount of mildly viscous warm chocolate, with sprinkles of icing. Not bad =)

I've never seen this restaurant anywhere else before, and 1u is probably it's first around Malaysia. I kinda like it's concept. The price is around rm10-15 for appetizers and desserts, burgers are around rm20, whereas main courses are more than rm30.

Worth a try!

2009-03-05T23:49:00.003+08:00

I think the photo says it all.

No not me. I'm not the one behind the wheel when it crashed. I'm not in the car during the accident either.

My brother and his girlfriend are fine. They somehow managed to escape from a possibly catastrophic finale with minor hand and leg injury respectively. Judging from the damage incurred on the car, most people would not have good feelings about the people inside, especially the one on the front passenger seat.

Thank God. I can't imagine what possible outcomes it could be on other days.

However, that can't being said the same to the car, because the degree of damage is so high that it's being totaled completely, and it has been written off from the streets.

Bye bye WFQ 9227.

Change of Directions

2009-02-20T22:16:00.005+08:00

College life has changed. People around have changed. Perspectives have changed. Things have changed. Overall, life has changed lately.

If you look at the college life last year, and especially at the start of semester, and you look at it now, it's like a whole new world. Well not really, but certainly the way of how things go there has changed.

Unlike the start of semester, whereby everyone was excited and new, nowadays people around me has segregated into different groups of friends. I can literally point out 3 main groups of friends in my class, albeit all of us are still friends.

For me, I'm considered as part of 1 of the group, though I'm not strongly attached to them.
I think I'm more of a versatile type, and I'm happy to be one.

Gosh. Whenever I think about May, that would mean the crucial AS exam.

Chemistry? I know I can succeed IF I put arduous effort in it. But my results so far are relatively poor. This subject is in fact my favourite subject during SPM years, definately. And believe it or not, I'm quite dissapointed with the SPM Chemistry questions because I feel the amount of effort I put in in this particular subject is by far too excessive. It's like everyone score A1, you know? But now I'm facing a tough time dealing with AS Chemistry. Probably it is fair for you to say that I'm being complacent. But I know I'm capable of doing well for Chemistry.

Physics? I'm liking this subject more and more now. Although the questions are tough and requires alot of thinking, in which I'm not really good at answering the questions, but i just love the concepts of Physics. Sometimes, when you relate Physics to your life, you might find that this subject is interesting and at times, beautiful.

General Paper? Alot more work needed to be done. Although I'm confident enough to say that it's unlikely to fail this subject, I feel getting an A or even a B for GP is enormously challenging. I don't set high sights for it though, as a B or C will do nice =).

Maths? I don't even wanna mention it, to be honest. I would've seriously drop it IF and only IF I'm viable to do so. It's like I'm really giving up on it, you know? Mentally fed up, exausted, and NO interest in it AT ALL in this subject. I would've gladly substitute it with Biology, I don't mind.

It's better to be like, say, you give me a paragraph today of 20 pages and ask me to go home and memorize it. And then, tomorrow you ask me any types of questions based on the paper without me having it. I feel even Sejarah is so much better than Maths, you know?

I feel I need inspiration to do this exam, which is in a drought state at the moment. I feel quite fed up of all these. And yes, I made my decision NOT to do engineering. It's really a bad idea venturing into my weakest and darkest patch of myself, which is calculations.

Not like I'm skipping classes and all. I never skip Chemistry and Physics classes, unless I have no choice. They are my priorities, and I never lose interest in them. I want to do well for these 2 subjects, no doubt bout that.

I feel I just need some kind of push or some encouragement from certain people. I'm sorry, but I guess I have to rule out my family on doing that, because they are too busy with their own work. I guess I'm just missing that "someone" in life, if you know what I mean.

...But, to be honest, nothing but void is detected in the radar, yet.

Valentines~

2009-02-10T21:25:00.005+08:00

Its the time of the year again. Valentines day. The roll call of some single people saying "SINGLE LIFE IS COOL!" and stuffs like that comes out again and again every year, while some parties might say it's more like S.A.D [(Single, Alone & Desperate)or Single Awareness Day] or whatever u wanna call it.

But undoubtedly, Valentines day is more like belong to couples from all ages, whether the singles like it or not.

For me, I had, lets just say a not so pleasant Valentines day 2 years ago. But 1 thing I've learned is that, it's called "break up" simply because it's broken.

CHINESE New Year!

2009-01-30T00:16:00.002+08:00

In 1u

First of all, Happy Chinese New Year!

It's the time of the year again. To me, so far this celebration has been quite more or less similar to the previous few years. The 1st day is the busiest and the most important day, while the subsequent days are less busy and normal.

As usual, family members got together for family reunion.
For me, I don't need to "go back to hometown" because my "hometown" is just 5 minutes drive away from my house!

Niways, baby Brandon is now 6 months old.
While he's grown up a little bit, he stil not close to sitting properly, crawling, nor walking though..

Today is Thursday. Tomorrow I'm going to friend's houses to "pai nin", as planned. Oh wait! Supposedly I have class tomorrow! lol! Am I going? Nahhh.......

p/s: I would've go if and only if I've got something to look forward to there....BUT...nahhhhh..

Strucked.

2009-01-20T20:10:00.004+08:00

It's flattering.

It's flattering to got to know someone like her.

A chance like that is always welcomed, knowing that they don't come often.

You may say that she's just an ordinary college girl, but to me she's outstanding.

"She got her own thing", put it that way, If you know what I mean.

Fair to say that all along since I've known a number of girls since college started, she's the one that really impressed me.

I like her.

No, not in the way that I'm planning to pursue her, not like that. She's occupied, fyi.

I like her for the way she are. From her first impression and her style.

...And I've got no plans to try and have a go at her.

That said, though, she crosses my mind now and then.

& I feel happy to see her, talk to her.

Yes, I concede I'm captivated.

...But I apprehend, this is all, nothing more.

For now, simple friends will do.

p/s: "she" will remain anonymous.

Yellow

2009-01-14T21:20:00.002+08:00

I'm sorry for the long absentee. Has been kinda busy lately with various reasons.
Highlights - College restarted. And bad results. If I'd to not waste 1.5 years at college, I have to do better especially in the AS exam. And I know it. And I'm feeling abit of regret for joining A-levels science. I mean WHY??? Not like I hate science, no. In fact I fairly like it. BUT Maths IS a resounding problem. I mean, I got out of jail in SPM with 7D, and now I quite literally plunging back to hell. What the hell, man?

Other things I'm busying is preparing for Chinese New Year!, of course. Been out the whole weekend, looking for clothes and so on.

For those college people reading this, I found out that eating sausage bun with 2 spoons of pineapple fried rice from canteen 1 is a very bad idea. It just so happened that the other day I ate a sausage bun and at the same time, one of my classmate ordered pineapple fried rice(yes it's yellow in color). As I've never tried before, I took 2 spoons of those rice after eating my bun. It's alright untill few hours later. I vomitted. I was in the car with my friend, driving home when I told him to pull over, barely minutes after we got on the car. Thankfully I did not puked inside the car. He stopped at the bus stop when I immediately vomitted straight after opening the door. And yes it's yellow...

Anyway, I'm anticipating for the Chinese New Year now. Till then, thats all for now. Bye.

Bye 8. Hi 9.

2009-01-02T01:08:00.003+08:00

So it's been another year gone by. Personally i feel the year of the rat is not the most happening year to me. For the world, of course 2008 has affected the people, particularly the election of Barack Obama & the global financial crisis.

Few highlights in 2008 are like my name "Lucas" emerged out of nowhere. Some of my secondary school mates are like, "Lum/Wing Tatt! Since when your name is Lucas??" And then I entered college. TAR College. To be honest, at first I'm kinda reluctant to become a 'tarcian' because, as everyone knows, it's a place majorly accomadated with mandarin-speaking people. I knew I would have problem communicating. But due to my so-so SPM results and the financial state of my family, I don't have many choice really, + this is only Pre-U.

In terms of family, my sister gave birth to little Brandon, which made a significant change of the way of life of my sister and her husband. Everyone in the family loves him alot, and surely there's much more to come from him in the years upcoming years.

In terms of friends, when you go to college, of course, you'll make friends, and that's what happen. I admit I'm not good at interacting with people at times, particularly when I'm verbally handicapped in which I don't receive education on the vastly used language in TARC.

Thanks for the people who celebrated my 18th birthday with me, I truly appreciate it.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone, I know I did, and I regret that.

Of course, I still keep in touch with secondary school mates, particularly during these long holidays. I believe strong chemistry do exist between people, especially when they've known each other for a long time, or doing things together, seeing and chatting with each other everyday, etc.

In terms of love life, 08 has been a quiet year. I don't have real crush or infatuation on anyone. Maybe I can't find the one, already used to being single, or probably I'm just feeling tired mentally to even build a consistent relationship with them.

In terms of academics, other than college 3rd test paper, there's nothing much important about 2008. 2009 will promise to be more crucial by a mile.

2009,
In terms of family; The focus will be based on the growth on Brendon. Other than that, things will presumably be normal and harmonic.

In terms of friends; Chemistry between them grows with time, so I do expect a better understanding with them, especially college friends.

In terms of love life; I do expect I'll stay single for another year. Leave alone capabilities, I don't meet the very minimal requirements to even have a girlfriend - (1)Car and (2)Money. Let's be realistic- I don't wanna end up in a scenario whereby she drives all the way down to MY house to fetch ME to date. Or being in a situation whereby I had to ask my dad "Dad, I need some cash to go dating!". I had to earn my own income first.

In terms of academics, as mentioned, this year promises to be such a crucial year as the AS and A2 examinations will be commenced. And this year will mark the end of my Pre-U studies.

Overall, I rate 2008 B-. Not the best year, really.
And lastly,

HAPPY NEW YEAR, PEOPLE.

All the best for 09'.

Ip Man

2008-12-23T21:35:00.003+08:00

Watched Ip Man today.

It was good. In fact, quite damn good. 2 thumbs up. 4.5 stars / 5. I think it is fair to say that if you like Jet Li's Fearless, you'll surely like this.

Both storylines and the way those 2 movies go are about arguably similar. In terms of action and fighting scenes, Fearless is not bad, but Ip Man is more brutal I feel. Personally I think the latter is slightly better than the former overall. Can say it's a must-watch kinda movie.

Out of Randomness

2008-12-18T15:24:00.006+08:00

The Oval, New Wing, 1 Utama themed stage

U mean Alice in Wonderland?

P/S: Ignore the annoying "peace" fingers.

The "beautiful" scene from the front of my house at different times of the day

Whole bunch of crazy people walking dangerously right in the middle of the tracks. Wait, who took this photo then?? (p/s: It shot-cuts to only 5 minutes from my house to the station only okayyy.........)

And then I spotted this menu in a restaurant called Boston located at Mont Kiara.
There's a few named categories such as "Relieve Your Stress Away", "Financial Meals", etc etc...But then the most eye catching one is this.

"For Biyatch Only". (Click for clearer view)
There's a whole list of funnily named drinks, from "Celebitchy", "Pussy Juice", "MILF"(if you know what that stands for), "My New BFF, Not!!!", and all d way to "Camel Toe"(I didn't know what that supposed to mean untill my friend Googled it), "Cream Pie" & "Absolutely Paris".

And it would be good if someone can translate all those Chinese words for me......

'Pain'-ball

2008-12-08T12:52:00.005+08:00

I'm supposed to blog about this few days ago, but I fell to a slight fever thanks to the suffocating headgear needed to wear while playing paintball! Yes the other day a group friends of mine went to Sungai Buloh's NPNG (No Pain No Gain) sport centre for their paintball. It was my 1st time playing paintball, so yeah it was a bit nervous.

It totaled up to 12 of us overall, which is being divided to 6 per team. We played two types of modes, which was Capture the Flag and Last Man Standing. I think you can already guess how these 2 gameplay works. Anyway, I don't know about other places, but this place uses guns which are attached by carbon dioxide canisters.

The problem with it is that, when shot, the pellets move more like in a slight projectile motion rather than in a straight line. Yes the pellets travel at high speeds (enough to break upon impact upon about 50m away at least, even hitting against soft skin), but still I expected them to be better, as seen on newspapers and tv last time. And I heard some places uses guns with some kinda air compression system, which are apparently more powerful.

The place consist of indoor, outdoor or in the jungle itselft nearby. The ones we played are only indoor and outdoor, as the people there don't really encourage you to wander into the jungle.

outdoor

The vest provided are practically no use, as probably all of us who got shot are either head, or mostly arms, hands and shoulders. The vests are thin and only covers part of the torso. It's quite painful upon being shot, up to the extend of rupturing of blood vessel and leaving marks for a few days, at least.

...no that's NOT my hand. It's not as fair.

The liquid inside the pellets are oily and gives a bright glowish colour. You would wanna rush back and bath after the game, especially after sweating and suffocating in the mask so much.

pellets used

Overall, I would say it was quite an experience for a first timer. Although you don't do much running like a football and basketball game, it's still as exhausting and tiring as them. And you wouldn't really play paintball too often, as it's quite pricey. And you wouldn't really enjoy it too much if you hold back too much of money as the price corresponds to the number of pellets you purchase. All in all, in 12 of us, each of us dug out RM74 for about 2,800 pellets for about close to 2 hours playing time.

Bored

2008-12-01T19:03:00.002+08:00

If you ever wonder(or notice), the reason for my long absentee is due to some reasons, except being busy. To be frank I ain't regret about not posting for some time, given that there's very little happening nowadays. There's also lacking of motivation to write, plus I feel quite lifeless nowadays. No life, in other words. Suffering from boredom. The problem is that, at times when I wake up in the morning, there's nothing to look forward to to the day.

And no I'm not working this time around. There's always a chance I don't get the chance to enjoy my savings. Certainly that had happened in the last 2 years. My bank account will never be stable. Not like I'm spending it. I tried to save it, but there's no use whenever someone always ask me to withdraw everything inside, and I will never get back the amount. And I can't say "No" to that. Do I have a choice? My phone I've purchased is a great example to what happened when I worked for a month, and get an amount of money. I've completely lost my patience at that moment. I don't want to elaborate much on that. But I can tell that it was under very, very controversial circumstances.

Overall, this holiday sucks. Until now, at least...

Holidays

2008-11-17T23:18:00.003+08:00

Haih. It's the time of the year again. Even I've undergone the "Sekolah Rendah" & "Sekolah Menengah" era, still the school holidays schedule never change. It's the year end 7 weeks break! Is it a good or a bad period to have this long break? I wouldn't say it's a bad thing. However I disagree to say it's the best thing that can happen either right now. Why good? simply because it's HOLIDAYS! who doesn't like holidays huh? The word indicates time to relax, chill, forget everything about stress and studies, and basically everything good. On the other hand, it's kinda bad cause I feel just when I feel I'm starting to get along with everyone associated at college, the holidays came. I mean, holidays are good, but it's not the best time for it to come.

What to do? Work? I've done that a few years back. This year, I'm not really sure whether I want to work anot. Probably yes...maybe no. No mood to work. Work for what? Find money? Past time? Money ain't the most important thing to me right now. Contributed by the fact that I'm still single, of course.

Sometimes I feel some things I do are not appreciated enough by people. Treat them so good for what? What do you get? Do they even appreciate it? Do they even think about your intentions? Do you get what you probably expected them to do? To you they may be your top priority in life. But how bout them? You may just be a minority to them.

Anyway, back to holidays, I wish everyone happy holidays, for you who're reading this, take care and goodbye.

The Effect of Studying Science...

2008-11-09T13:59:00.005+08:00

According to the law of Physics, Work done is given by the equation of

Work done = Power applied x time

I see many people are quite serious about the test next week. Even the likes of Mei Mei will be absent from her blog for "at least 2 weeks or so". Actually, to be honest I feel it's not really an important test. Not for me personally, 'cause I'm not on scholarship anyway. Nonetheless, majority of people in the lecture hall don't carry scholarship. So why izit like everyone so stressed out about it?

I understand some of you are under pressure from family members, especially parents, while some of you wants to do well for your own personal reasons. That's good, but it's not the end of the world if you don't do well. A test is just a TEST, and this is NOT an EXAM. It's 2 different things. "Exam" sounds more scary and important than a "test", don't you think? Exam is the AS paper coming in May next year. And THAT is something you SHOULD worry much, much more about. (And that includes me as well. I AM worried about the AS).
-But not really this test.
I'm fairly confident I can at least pass all the papers except for Maths which probably may not make it, but even IF I fail my Maths, personally it does not have a catastrophic effect.

Back to the equation, how much work had u done? If you started studying a long time ago, that means you have accumulated much more time. Means even if you study(the power you give in) little by little everyday(constant studying), your work done is high.

On the other hand, even if you study at the LAST MINUTE(your time is little), your work done can be equal to the one above. This is provided that you apply a high amount of Power. (Equation: Work done = Power x time)

Conclusion: Last minute studying is NOT ALWAYS bad.

(However, your efficiency may be affected by these 2 methods...)

The Last Routine

2008-11-07T22:14:00.004+08:00

What's this?

Tadaa! A flower-shaped highlighter.

Hahah seems like I'm too bored. On the background is Chemistry as you can see. Haha.... test is next week.

Today is the last day of a normal schedule day for semester 1 (and for this year as well). It felt very...empty today. You can feel the nullness in the lecture hall. Mass number of people did not turn up for classes. Of course lah, why wouldn't people stay at home and study. The lecturers had all completed teaching the syllabus anyway.

To be honest, time really blaze past in seconds. I still could remember the very 1st day of college in May, it's still clearly stamped in my mind now. In the first few weeks everyone seemed to be so exited and turned up for each and every single classes. The hall WAS at least 85% full. But, who cares now anyway?

It really seemed like it's yesterday and it's already 6 months since the course started. Half a year left for the crucial AS exam. Sometimes it's hard to believe it, really.

I admit, I WILL miss going to classes somewhere in the middle of the 1 and a half month holidays which will start on 15th of Nov. Because I will NOT be going to any vacations during that time. That's as far as my family are concerned, of course. What am I going to do in the long holidays? I MIGHT be returning to Chili's Grill & Bar in Mid Valley- as a food server/waiter. At about the same time last year, I worked there- but as a kitchen helper/cook.

Anyway, for now I just want to do well for Chemistry & Physics. My highest hope for the subjects are A for the former & B for the latter. GP...probably a B will do fine. Expectations too high? Too ambitious? I would say maybe.

Maths? Pass also very happy already. Happier than IF I got A for Chemistry.

Of Ne-Yo & Jay Chou

2008-11-03T15:17:00.000+08:00

Forget about lyrics like "Ho! Grab a bottle and ride wif me, biatch!"

This is Ne-Yo. 1 thing which is so special him is that, every songs of his is all about relationships, all types of problems, guy and gal affections, and basically anything else about love.

His first album, In My Own Words is really quite good. Fell in love with it after just after about twice to thrice listening to it. 4 stars/5.

Second album, Because Of You dropped a little bit I feel. But still kinda liked it, but not as good as his 1st album. 3/5.

The latest album, the third one, is Year of the Gentleman.

Personally, it's the best album to me. 4.5/5. The title of the album might give you an impression that Ne-Yo is praising himself and being proud, but actually it's the opposite. In this album, he emphasizes on the strength of woman and he respects them alot. The song "Miss Independent" as you hear in the radio tells you that. He even realise his guiltiness in the song "Why Does She Stay" and he specially dedicates the song "Single" to all the single woman listening to that song as it plays.

That's what I like about him. He respects woman, his lyrics are beautiful and meaningful, and I admire that.

Anwyay I don't think anyone would REALLY care about this review anyway...

Talk about albums, Jay Chou's "Capricorn" is so-so only I feel. I like the tracks
2. "Give Me A Song's Time (Gěi Wǒ Yì Shǒu Gē De Shí Jiān)",
6. "Where Is The Promised Happiness (Shuō Hăo De Xìng Fú Ne)", &
9. "Time Machine (Shí Guāng Jī)"
the most. Personally I feel track 6 is the best in this album. It's somewhat similar to the song "Dandelion's Promise (Pú Gōng Yīng De Yuē Dìng)" taken from his previous "On The Run" album. Other than that, tracks 1, 4, 7 & 11 are not bad as well.

(I'm a fan of Jay as well, if you don't know. I don't listen to Chinese songs, except for him. When I listen to Chinese songs, I only listen to his songs.)

Personally to me, few of his all time favourite songs are "Heart's Rain (Xīn Yǔ)" from "Still Fantasy", "Blue And White Porcelain (Qīng Huā Cí)", and "I'm Not Worthy (Wǒ Bú Pèi)", both from "On The Run".

Gotta say, although most of the time I don't understand what he's singing, but the reason I like him is about the same as his fans, which is I feel he's very emotional when it comes to his low tempo songs, his music integrated perfectly with his voice, and he has a humble personality in real life.

Anyway, that's all about my review of these 2 artists. I'm off.

"Producks"

2008-11-03T14:19:00.002+08:00

If you ever noticed, there's alot of local product's brand names that sounds so spoofing to the famous, giant brands.

For example, in the hypermarket, we got Cream-O that looks alot like Oreo based on their packaging and also the look of the cookie itself.

There's also ChipsPlus & ChipsMore.

There's also Asadi that sounds alot like Adidas, which to add the "unoriginality" of that, if you compare these 2 logos by the respect of their fonts,

It gives me an impression that these products are trying to be as successful as those well-known brands. But I feel that's not the right way cuz it sound n look so....unoriginal.

But lastly, I noticed this.

Straight away we know it rhymes with Oral-B, but I feel it sounds kinda weird...

Anyway, this post are just thought from random and there's nothing much to emphasize on them. Just touch n go. And this post may be lame, I know. And it's actually a waaay back post...back to a few weeks ago cuz I don't have enough resources to post them.

Goodbye.

"Bad Boys" VS "Mr Nice Guys"

2008-10-25T13:59:00.005+08:00

There's a saying goes "Nice guys finish last". Sometimes I wonder if this quotation is really true. Apparently it is. I find this topic as very interesting actually.

"[According to McDaniel (2005), popular culture and dating advice "suggest that women claim they want a 'nice guy' because they believe that that is what is expected of them when, in reality, they want the so-called 'challenge' that comes with dating a not-so-nice guy."]"

-Extracted from Wikipedia.

The problem with being a "nice guy" is that, generally, woman don't find them attractive. This is especially they're at this age around 17, 18, 19, 20 and the early 20s.

At this age, do you think girls prefer "bad boys" who are confident, attractive, sexy, playful, talkative, funny and exciting rather than "nice guys" who are relatively shy, less talkative, doesn't joke much and more to a caring, sensitve and attentive kind?

In other words, those "bad boys" are more flirtatious and more aggressive towards their converations and interactions with girls, compared to the opposite party who're more conservative and more respectful towards girls.

Personally, I would say that the former wins- if the girls are looking more for a short term, "click straight away" kind of relationship.

There's a quotation cited as "girls just wanna have fun". Yeah, I mean, at this age, 18-19 years, which girl doesn't want to be constantly entertained by a humorous and funny boyfriend?

Another line from Wikipedia,
"Some women offered flattering interpretations of the nice guy, characterizing him as committed, caring, and respectful of women. The young immature majority, however, emphasized more negative aspects, considering the nice guy to be boring, lacking confidence, and unattractive."

It kinda sums up that these "bad boys" are more looking forward to short-term relationship without really thinking about their future, whereas the "nice guys" tends to be more loyal, more committed and would do his best to sustain a long term relationship.

Ironic to say "nice guys finish last", however, they don't always lose. At the end of the day, in the end, if both opposing guys are battling for a long term relationship, the "nice guys" tend to survive it better based on their general properties.

I'm not sure how true it is. However, statistically, sadly, AT THIS AGE, it's true that girls do prefer the "bad boys". I'm pretty sure some of you might disagree though, and this post might be controversial. You can argue all you like. However, these are facts. Nothing much to deny that. For me, personally, I'm [starting to] feel it's true.

Take note that I'm not pointing this to anyone or myself. This is just a general post without criticizing anyone, anyhow. However, if you would ask me whether I'm categorized as a "bad boy" or a "nice guy", judging by the traits and properties of both parties, I feel I'm more to the latter one.

...And I'm quite sure some of you might've heard people say "That's it! No more Mr Nice Guy!" because they're too frustrated by the way they're being treated.

For me, I would NOT say that...yet. (Not for now, though.)

Three-Sum

2008-10-21T22:14:00.004+08:00

First of all I'm sorry for the voidness of updates in these few days. Well, not like I don't wanna update, it's just that the stupid DSL kept blinking. Really having lousy connections in these 2 days. And I'm thankful that at least it's just started to function more stabily now.

Anyway, in this post I'll touch about what happened in the previous days, impressions of me being upset about certain issues, and focus ahead of the upcoming weeks.

Last few days had been average. Even today actually, is arguably the worst.
The weekend is dull and boring. Arguably due to the crappy internet connection. Besides, I'm not like a person who loves watching TV and can go on all day sitting on the couch staring the box. Astro is really kinda shitty on EVERY weekends, especially during the afternoon. I don't know bout you guys la, but all of those programmes doesn't suit me at all. Premier movies at night are also dumby. HBO premiered Georgia Rule on Sunday- starred by Lindsay Lohan. I hate her, really.
Also, it's very routine and gloomy due to the rainy days and it can only be summarised by a word- boring.

Yesterday is Monday. There's nothing much to talk bout yesterday really, as my class finished on 11. I feel it's too early. Today finished at 12. Tomorrow suddenly jumps to 4pm. Lousy schedule i feel. Anyway, back to today, I'm late for 8am Physics class. Reached DK only 1/2 an hour later. Not that I intended to be late, but my car pool friend is late. Other than that I got nothing else to comment on that.

About impressions that I'm upset with what happened regarding the 'girl' I mentioned about in the previous 2 posts, I would say that it doesn't affect me at all- in any way. There's no such thing whereby I have impressions of being jealous or wat, not at all. It's just a touch-n-go comment on them, nothing more than that. So Cal, don't misunderstood okay... I'm perfectly fine.

Lastly, the final test will be on from 11 to 14/15 I think. It's not a big test or wat, nothing too serious about that. However, If I DO fail, that will be a problem especially when it comes to the Parents-Lecturers Day. The main cause for concern is Maths. A MAJOR concern. I also don't know how I'm gonna actually sit there alone and do it.

Nonetheless, at least the lecturer, Miss Melissa gave tips today. So that would be a cause for optimism. Other than that, I feel I can only start concentrating seriously on Chemistry & Physics only a week before the test, as it looks like I don't have the "exam pressure" yet.

Anway, sorry if this post bores you, as that's how the nature my life is now in these few days.

Bye and take good care of yourself =).

Happy Birthday Brigette!

2008-10-16T22:33:00.005+08:00

This is what you get when you skip tutorial classes at TAR College.

(Click for clearer view)

They send the letters directly to your house, with either your father/mother's name on it. Apparently, if you miss more than 1 tutorial class in a month, you're gonna get it.
The moral of the story: Don't skip more than once. One per month is OK.

The reason why I missed those classes is that, it's on Wednesday, the day I got 1 Chemistry tutorial, 2 General Paper tutorials, 1 Maths Applied lecture, 1 Physics tutorial and finally 1 Maths Applied tutorial. Basically all the tutorials crammed up in a day in which the Maths Applied tutorial is on 3-4pm.

By that time, it's already tiring + lose concentration + I don't do Maths homework + I hate maths + I have to walk to LRT station to go KL Central, change to KTM, wait for the train, then travel to Segambut where finally I have to walk another 25 mins to reach home. That adds up to about 1 hour 15 mins from the train at LRT station. Very sien 1 okayyy....... understand abit laa...

But anyway I don't plan to skip anymore lah, as the test will commence in 3 weeks time, plus at least Miss Evelyn is one of the better looking lecturers at TARC.

To other things, few are acknowledged that the other day, I made a card to someone for her birthday. Her name is Brigette. It's actually my first time making a card for someone on the person's birthday. It took quite much longer than I expected to complete it. I bought those papers in the evening, and started work at around 9.30pm. The inside of the card itself it took very long. By the time wanted to do the cover of the card, before I knew it, it's already 1am.

Progress at 12:04am, 15 Oct 08, her birthdate.

Thankfully, for the very first time, my class on Wednesday this week started on 11am, unlike the other 8am classes. So I woke up at 7.30am, and continued doing it and at last it's done. Sorry lah I didn't manage to take pictures of the end product of the card because I didn't thought of it + I don't have time for it. In the end I'm fairly happy with the card, and I really hope she'll like it anyway.

Nonetheless, I feel it's a hard work paid off. After all, why not?

About Love & Attractions

2008-10-11T00:16:00.012+08:00

I wanted to write, but initially I duno wat to write, then I asked Kei for opinions la, she said write bout girls, frens, daily life n funny things wor. I honestly feel there's nothing much to spit out at this moment (or these few days) cuz life is just isn't happening enough. Not like I'm a person who likes to write about what I did da whole day, from listing who I went out with la, go where la, this la, that la. Not like I'm reporting about the day. But the truth is that there's nothing much happening to me lately. Good and bad.

However, apparently there's alot of things happening AROUND me, from people who broke off from relationships to people who juz started new love. For the couple who disintegrated, I feel kinda sorry for the male because apparently it's the female who discharged herself under pathetic reason. Honestly speaking, she attracted me with her appearence once in the very early times since the semester commenced. But no. Not now, not few months ago, no more already. Nevertheless, I feel the guy have enough quality in terms of appearence to attract his opposite sex.

For the couple who juz got together, well I don't know exactly how many people around me who got off to their relationships lately, but this particular couple it's kinda significant and "something to talk about" as the girl is, well, I think it's fair for me to say that she's one of the best looking ones in the DK. And I feel people will agree with me. (DK stands for Dewan Kuliah for those who don't know ; a lecture hall)

For the guy, I describe him as lucky. Really, it's a must to treasure, take care and appreciate her. And to you who feels you're the one I'm emphasizing about, congratulations and have great times ahead. Well, you will anyway.

Anyway, to other things, talk bout girls, to be honest, they can only get better. A glance around the college will tell you that. They tend to know much better to dress up, and outstand themselves. Some of them are which I describe them as "head turners" ; Some keeps you wondering whether they're pretty or not when you look at them from far or in a position whereby you can't really see their faces clearly ; Some have high sex appeal - Sex appeal doesn't exactly mean only their tight, short clothes, it's combined with the way they look and the eye contact they give you ; Some are cute and gives you the "please-take-care-of-me" look ; While some are just typical "leng luis" in which usually the Chinese guys describe as ; And lastly there's the categorically few ones whom I want to be with them for the rest of my life.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but it's just the way guys are. This is because apparently, the fact is that, not to mean anything, but most of the readers here are ladies - am I right to say so? It's human nature for males to look at females anyway - and vice versa.

Lastly, the final test for this year will be conducted in merely a month, and honestly i haven't actually really study anything yet - especially maths, which i got 7D for SPM. Great huh. Nonetheless, I feel I can do Chemistry and Physics.

Probably not.

College Returns

2008-10-07T22:45:00.007+08:00

I'm back to college!... or shall I say, college is back!

The fact that after a week break, the thing that matters most is not that I go back to college, see friends, study, and so on...

The more important thing is that people from all around the diplomas are back after a few weeks of holidays. TARC is not TARC when those people are not around, if you know what I mean. So used to having multicellular organisms with genetic chromosome arrangement of XX walking around. But when their holidays started, poof! it's like college has lost it's gloss.

But now the fact is that they're back, the fact is that it's alot more interesting there, and certainly the overall environment and atmosphere lingering around the college have improved massively. I'm sorry, but college is kinda dull when it's not in the "full team". Teehee!=)

Anyway, the other day I just bought Year of the Gentleman! At last...And on the same day bought the much awaited FIFA09. And on the same day watched Eagle Eye. All in 1u. Eagle Eye does not dissapoint at all. It's really good. 4.5/5. Certainly 1 of the best movies I've watched this year. Niway thanks to Rodney for da ride. I owe u aite man...

It's 11.08pm now. Gotta go do Chem tutorial. Mr David Loh's class tomorrow. Hehe!
Adios warm-blooded creatures.

Interests Part I

2008-10-04T21:01:00.007+08:00

Frankly, there's little to update these days. I'm not feeling very well, been having a slight flu, and internet connection is unstable.

The other day my bro was using the comp while it's drizzling outside, and out of nowhere, suddenly a bright light flashed outside and bang! a loud noise emerged from the modem. All the electrical appliances went out as the fuse is activated. And you know what's next lah, the modem is totaled.

Thankfully, there's a spare modem which acts as backup. If not, I wouldn't know what to do at home in these boring few days.

On Friday I skipped Physics & Applied Maths classes, sorry la I don't mean to skip Physics but it's just so "not-in-the-mood" to study especially during the holiday week. Haihz. During that week some of my friends go Japan la, Penang la, Malacca la, here and there. Damn I don't know when was da last time I get outta this neighbourhood, and have fun sumwhere else.

And believe it or not, I've NEVER been on a plane before, not even once in my 18 years of living so far. So yeah, forget about Japan, forget about Europe. Not untill probably 5-10 years from now. And that's when work fo my own living.

Anyway, to other things, I can't wait to buy FIFA 09. It's certainly the best football game of the year and clearly the best FIFA series ever.

Mentioning about games, people might think I'm a person that don't play DOTA, especially the guys from college. Well, probably because the game is vastly played by those typical Chinese guys, which I'm not. I actually played that game alot during my Form2 & Form 3 years, but since Form 4 I started not to play it, and nowadays I dun play anymore because I don't feel addicted to it, and I prefer single-player games now.

Since it's already 9.35PM now, I gotta get to bath and get ready for the Arsenal's game against Sunderland at 10PM. I'm a huge Arsenal fan if you don't know.

And Cally, bout da tag thing, I'm gonna publish it up in the upcoming post, alright? ;).

Bye and take care.

Happy Birthday...again!

2008-10-01T15:12:00.005+08:00

While my birthday is on the 25th Sept, my mum's on 30th.

So, my family & I went to the Happy City Steamboat restaurant yesterday, located directly behind the famous Happy City food court at Metro Prima, Kepong.

The special thing about the steamboat is that, behind the normal tom-yam + normal soup pot, is a pot of plain porridge for u to put those raw foods in.

Another thing about the steamboat is their Seafood package, which costs RM118.00 for 5 person. That's about RM23.60 per person. However, that's never enough for 7 of us, therefore we ordered a few of the normal sets which totaled the bill up to about RM180.

Kinda recommended as the prawns in the Seafood set is very fresh, as it's still jumping around when the workers brought them to our table lol. So while they're still jumping around we juz threw them into the soup and porridge. Ouch...

After that, we went home and my sis bought a "a special" cake from Secret Recipe.

What so special about the cake? it's a combination of 7 types of completely different cheese cakes.

Not your ordinary birthday cakes =).

Since there's only 7 of us, & the portion of those normal RM70-RM80 whole cake is probably too much for us, so that'll just do it.

And that's about it. Talking bout birthdays, I would like to thank everyone who wished me, from SMSes, Friendster, Facebook, MSN, their blogs to people who wished me at college. Also, happy belated birthday to Dwight, Yasini, Shu Ying, and a few others librans.

Moving on the some other things, the other day I went Old Town with Ryan & Alex, in which I ordered Blackcurrent Yogurt Smoothie.

Other than that, there's nothing much special happening these days, but the movie Eagle Eye is a must-watch-no-matter-what sumwher in these holidays. Personally, I feel it's really anticipating. Untill then, goodbye for now.

Happy Family~

2 months!

Brandon Lim Kien Khin
Born on 21st July 2008 (bout a lil bit more than 2 months old now)
Who is he?? haha...none other than my beloved nephew...

He's my sister's 1st child since she got married in 2006.
Obviously, everyone in the family is happy lately, including relatives and friends of course.

Especially for my parents, they seem more jovial and halcyon since he's born. You can sense the joy in the atmosphere.

I mean of course-lah, the last time there was a baby AT HOME is year 1990, whereby the baby they carry that time was me! and that's about 18 years already. (and at last I'm not the youngest at home anymore, which is a good thing...)

And if you wonder how my sis n her husband look like,

...no they're my brother n his girlfriend, Hayley Soh

ahh there's my sis n my brother-in-law =).

Happy Birthday!

2008-09-27T22:05:00.001+08:00

It was 25th of September last Thursday. Guess what... It's my birthday! haha.... co-incidently, it was Vanessa's birthday on 23rd and Adrian's birthday a day after mine.

Therefore, some of my best friends at TAR College - Rodney, Mithi, Delinda, Vanessa, Gayathri, Isaac;- or better known as the '7somes', and the likes of Hui Joo, Danny, Su Jing, Ruhil, Edward, Adrian, Mong & Jason planned to celebrate all 3 of our birthdays together.

I must say- a big THANK YOU for these people really. You guys are my closest friends at college- no doubt bout that. Honestly, I can't recall when was the last time I blew a cake. I mean, seriously, I've not celebrated my birthday with my family for years already. Probably that time i was 4? 5? 6? years old then. I can't remember.

These people are really one of the group of nicest people I've met- no questions bout that. Living at especially a place like TAR College hasn't been as good, particularly I'm handicapped in terms of communication. Well, that is, unlike I have charisma of a friendly person or "pretty bananas" like Mei Mei or Cally =). -but that apparently doesn't seem to be the case.

That is why these people are the ones I spend most of my time wif there. Also a special thank you for Hui Joo, Hazel & Danny. This is why:

Glass cup and it's wrapper contributed by Hui Joo, Hazel & Danny

Seriously, I don't know how long it took for Hui Joo to make the card. Every bits of effort and patience. I'm speechless at 1st when I received it really. Thanks again...really appreciate it.

Moving on to other things, I must say that my Chemistry lecturer- Mr David Loh is arguably the best lecturer at TAR College. Unlike some lecturer(s), which I don't have other words to describe them other than lousy, he's really the one that know how to teach and at the same time interacting and controlling the students.

For next week's holidays, he planned a special schedule for us to "efficiently" study 10 hours a day as he always want us to do. Here's how:

Try following the schedule for a day, anyone ;) ?

Interlude

2008-09-27T17:04:00.000+08:00

It took me awhile to finally created my own blog.

To be honest, this was really quite a hard work to actually finalise everything, from starting off by thinking and pondering about the suitable title, the publishing name, to da layouts and so on.

In the past, after a lengthy period of time writing on The Amigo Blog, I'm now finally on my own on expressing on my very own personal blog.
For your information, if you don't know what's about the Amigos, it's actually a group created which consist of 4 frens, including me, during Form4. The blog had actually raised alot of dramas n controversials, as it contain some really harsh languages, some difficult to swallow straight-to-the-point stuffs, and so on. 1 of the Amigos now already left to London, whereas 1 of them started his own blog about Jesus and holy thoughts, and another went M.I.A.

Anyway, the past IS the past, whereby thinking back bout it, v seem so childish arguing about things that don't matter really. It's practically pointless.

Less about the past, now basically the title of this blog, "In My Own Words" is actually an album name, much of the courtesy of Ne-Yo I'm quite a big fan of him, simply because of his music and especially lyrics that attracts me the most.

The publishing name of this blog, "beneath-those-masks" is actually inspired by the concept of dramas, whereby people pratically act in plays. The nature of actors/actress being sad, happy, nervous, terrified, etc are all fake in real world. Therefore, beneath-those-masks actually reflects my true emotions, my sincere perspectives, and my genuine feelings.

You might see me being happy all the time, cause arguably people say I actually do smile alot. You might think I'm practically a happy-go-lucky person, but deep down, I know at times I'm being pushed against my own limits.

While others think that way, some might feel I'm cocky/lansi/chuan.
This, I feel is basically due to my nature of being a quiet person and doesn't talk much.
What I can comment is that, I'm super weak in mandarin, I can hardly even understand a deeper-meaning sentence that comes out of ur mouth at times. Ironically, to add to that, I admit I'm not a person particularly good in socialising or communicating.
My close/true frens that I've been known since secondary school will know what kind of person I really am.

In the issue of me being, well, probably a too quiet person, this blog might significantly change the perspectives people have on me-maybe.

That's about the introduction of this blog. There's alot more to come, definately.
To be honest, there's already a few attempts before this whereby I tried blogging other than Blogspot, but those attempts didn't really work out cuz

I'm lazy to update
Those sites are not convenient to use
...& I'm basically not serious / not enough motivation / no inspiration to blog.

However, this time I'm confident this blog will be updated fairly frequently and constantly, probably MAYBE about 2-3 posts per week. But this is to the respect of whether I got things to write, whether I'm free enough, mood, & so on lah =).
