Troubled Minds

Tuesday, July 31, 2007

Ok. I thought of a million ways to phrase this but basically, Geraldine and i were feeling too shitty to go home. So, we went to Toy R'us in search for happinesses.

And we did some promotion for them.

Product 1: kid's soccer bag

Product 2: Nylon Frisbee

Product 3: "Super cheapo sun protection kids will get blind" plastic children shades

Final product would be the weird yoyo stick. since when did yoyo has a skinny twig version. OMG! Whats wrong with being round?

The slogo has bad children influence: This stick does tricks! .... kinky.....

still feels shitty after leaving but its alright~. everyone has their shitty days of the week.

THE FAMILY

Friday, July 27, 2007

SO! its been ages since i blogged. Well, i kinda laze around at home. watching animation, movies, screaming, doodling, painting, stretching my fingers, doing housework. Yes, housework. Whatever. OK, so last weekend was my maternal grandmother's 80th birthday; wait, i thought she was 80 last year, why is she still 80? Anyway, i went 2 days before the event to enjoy.

PART 1 : Seremban, somewhere near KL?

I followed my cousin to this mall called 'Jusco' which apparantly has starbucks. Thank god. Anyway, Malaysia lives up to its name to actually have mosquitoes in a actual shopping mall. EEWWW.... I was stuck for the first half of the day cuz there wasn't anything interesting. So i slacked off at starbucks reading magazines. There after she treated me to Thai massage.. WEE~!!! pretty shiok lar.

Then after that, i forgot why we were stucked in the mall. So, we ate all the way out, entering every shop that sells edible stuff. LOL. AND, most importantly, i bought donuts!!! Its nice and you don't have to queue up like that bloody hell donut factory.

And it was more eating when i reached my aunt's house. Apparantly, my aunt is known as the chicken rice queen of Malaysia, been on TV shows, newspapers, radio FM.. etc.. well, she laminated those newspaper cuttings... LOL.. bet, she gonna tape her episode which is on-air tml on Malaysia TV. Well, what can i say? CONGRATS lor.. hahahahahah

Then, at night, everyone ate durian. Yes, everyone except me. I don't hate durian but i just don't eat them i don't know why.

So, we skip the rest of it and on saturday morning, i arrived at my grandmother's kampong place. Yes, the word is nostalgic. I even went to the kampong ma-ma shop and their "7-11" .... Nothing much has changed though... just everything seems smaller, or is it ive grown.

PART 2: The Kampong

This is a short dialogue with my aunt (thinks im a good-for-nothing)

ME: Oh, let me help with the cleaning
Aunt: ok, blah blah blah.....put these there
ME: How about the bedsheets?
Aunt: You've changed.
ME: Huh? (silence)
Aunt: No, its just, you've never initated to help in the past.
ME: (silenced)*well......you have to grow up sometime in you life.

The house was full of shit, literally.. ok, shall not go into details, since it was abandoned for about a year already. Its like a "stay there once a year" house. Kinda peaceful cuz its a kampong plus, its on top of the hill, so, i get to see fireworks every new year and all. (for god knows what reason but there were fireworks too last week. for my grandma's birthday maybe?.... hahaaahah)

Before the banquet was the pre-gathering with buffet. As usual,

Oh, and the scary friend of my uncle appeared again. He will appear like for all occasions be it new year or major birthdays ever since i was erm ... ok i can't remember but its like forever. Seriously, hes scary. Once, he sat on my grandma's sofa and the sofa never "rebounce" back resulting in his unique butt print. The scariest part is he appears without any presents! or greetings at least... rude dude. WELL, i volunteered to take pictures for a reason .. LOL..

On the last day was the banquet... those usual "grandmother's birthday" actions came in, you know, those big cake, weird relatives of relatives thingy. Who cares anyway as long as there's food.

When we were back at the house, looking through those old photos were really nostalgic again. hahah... i shall show everyone those pictures next year when i bring a scanner to the kampong.. HAHAHAH.. Anyways, i snapped a "graduate" photo of mine in kindergarten.

Don;t giggle giggle, i bet everyone had that photo somewhere in the grandparent's house. Then finally, 2 hours before everyone went home, my cousin and i did like a "in-prompt-to" balloon-hat show stunt. LOL. Then, before you knew it, relatives were taking pictures. LOL... the power of camera phones... Kinda fun....

Hmmmmm..... compared to my paternal side who likes to shout, my maternal side is really the family i will keep close to my heart. My paternal side is like, i can go on an go forever. One sentence shall sum up what they are like: my 7 year old cousin plays mahjong, period.

Happy Birthday Eunice!!

Wednesday, July 18, 2007

Since Gek teng has a birthday entry, i felt guilty.. LOL.. So, heres one for you Eunice! Happy 19th bithday Eunice!! Like TOTALLY!.. LOL... geezz

Eunice was the one who screamed with me when we received our O'levels. WE had the same points anyway, hahahhaha. She's often mistaken as a working adult in her mid 20s but i always believed its cuz of her big assets. Still remember when i first met her in class 1F. Shes the only one with a handphone.. hahaha... and she gives me a feeling of a big sister. Didnt really do alot of crazy things with her, cuz apparantly shes not crazy. Yes, im kinda crazy. Shes also the only one who lives in a HDB flat like me apart from Amy. But when i didnt know who else to call, i would always ring her up. Sometimes it was over topics like life, boredom and at times, when i cried. Glad to have known such a BFF (best friends forever). Man......, looking back now, i think i've grown quite a bit. Well, we all have.

Oh! Just let me whine will ya!

Tuesday, July 17, 2007

Yes, i tend to whine about life periodically. My attention span is like maybe the diameter of an ant; a big red ant at most. This short-coming of mine is preventing me from completing alot of things. Like i can't even sit at the same place for more than 20 minutes. After the internship, i don't have a main stream in my life to guide me cuz school or work has kept me on the flow of life until now. It feels like after the o'levels. My mind is in a mess now. I can't seem to focus. Something isn't feeling right. I'm having the worst kind of time management now. I kept telling myself that i have so much things to do, blah blah blah, now i have the time but the body just doesn't move, like my fats have adhere to the chair.. LOL... just kidding, that would be gross. SEE! i cant even whine constantly... urgh!! Hmm.. i should REALLY stop procrastinating and concentrate! Or maybe i just need coffee.

A Tale of two girls

Friday, July 13, 2007

And so, i was on crunchyroll watching some old anime, well i will spare the name. There is just this particular flashback scene i must blog about.

A is the girl who excels in everything with a cool attitude.
B is the girl who is being laughed at becoz of her high forehead. She also wears a friendship band that A gave her all the time.

Both of them are best friends but of different characters. Scene begins with a flower arrangement class in primary school and flashback happens when they are like 9 years old. So, imagine them as primary 3 kids.

B: I'm not good at these things...what about you Ms A?
A: You are not very good at these are you? being name after a flower. There is a trick to these things

A: In flower arrangement, once you pick the main flower, you pick other flowers to accentuate it. Flowers should not fight to be number one. Hmmm... Lets see..Look over there.... can you see it? thats the rose.

For example, if the rose flower is the main flower, the flowers you pick
which are the baby's breath, are just extras. The rose is the most beautiful
and most popular flower of all, it fits in with any other flowers

And so, B looks at the bunch of baby's breath she plucked and started to look down with low self-esteem. She thought to herself, " A is so amazing. She knows so much about flowers, is stylish and cute. Compared to her, i'm.........( and she looks at the bunch of baby's breath again )

B: If you are the rose, A, then... am i the baby's breath?

A: * frowns and sigh. What are you thinking? If you were to ask me, i would say you
are not even a flower yet, just a bud.

B: yeah...(look down again)

B: but A.................................

A: What is it?

B: Why did you give me this friendship band

A: Because, it would be such a waste for you to wither away as a bud.

A: There is no meaning to a flower unless it blooms.

A: It might turn out to be a flower more beautiful than the rose.

WELL, i kinda changed the story abit because its lengthy. Just want to say that i kinda of understand why some people get so crazed up by animes and some even cosplay the characters out. Many times, success of these animes has a huge link to it telling a tale so close to our lives; and this, a lesson on friendship.

The unhappenings of life / running in circles

Tuesday, July 10, 2007

I can't sleep again. This holiday insomnia kicks in again. Anyway, after reading blogs of others, as a matter of fact, someone, i begin to realise some people blog to show how well they are doing. They mostly just show their recent splurges and all; but again, if you are going to show off like cheap diffusion brands like CK, i suggest you think twice. Its just so weird people thinks they are high class because they use adidas stuff? like hello? adidas stuff can be purchased from WATSON. If life is not happening for you, you don't have to act like it is. The truth is, you are only lying to yourself and its again, weird. It doesnt hurt to be sad and whine alittle but its going to hurt if you are trying to put on a different face to the world of who you really are not. Isn't it sad that some people try so hard to be positive about things when they are really just running in circles? I so feel for you, pathetically that is.

Masks

Masks. Everyone knows about its existence but what exactly are they anyway? The truth is, we all have them. One to put on when you see your boss and another one when you meet that "not so friendly" neighbour sharing the lift. The masks originally serves as a guard to your true identity. Its like a lock that instantly seals you from reality and in turn portrays what you want the world to see you in. But why do we find a need to wear a mask every now and then? Is it because we are not who we really are? Or is it we are frighten? Maybe its just human nature when we feel threatened. What we see is only superficial. Beneath that mask maybe a wicked heart or lonely soul. Don't let that mask have a chance to grow on you. Because it might just never come off as it weighs heavier and heavier on you until the day you collapse.

7.7.7. L.I.V.E. E.A.R.T.H.

Thursday, July 5, 2007

So, i specifically bought three greens tee to wear on these two days, 7,8 of july. Isn't scary how global warming has affected our lives? I still remember those days in primary school where we stil get like 25 degrees of temperature. Now, its more like 35. What to do? China is not going to stop their CO2 emissions. Seriously, what can they do with so much money earned after the earth perishes; money would be useless by then. What we can really do now is pray that the japanese succeed in their experiment using genetically modified mico-organisms to convert atmospheric CO2 into clean fuel, hydrogen; oh yah, u can wear green to help too. WELL! to a limited extent it helps!!

The class of vocal-advanced18

Funny Face Pose 3

Funny Face Pose 2
So tonight was the "vocal" exams. I figured this is definitely not my field. But anyways, i got to complete what i started. My aunt keep saying that i'm wasting my money but i think you should experiment when you are young; only then you learn more about yourself, those strengths, weakness, and most importantly see all walks of life.Its funny how you learn something that is not related to what its suppose to teach you. Like through vocal lessons, i learnt that first impression counts but if you are willing to give youself a chance to know that person, you will find that everyone has a "nice and warm" side. Many times, most people portray an image that she/he finds good but offensive to you. Still, deep down, nobody wants to be disliked. They try to portray a likeable image but not all will suceed you see. So, its best to give everyone the benefi of doubt and you will make life simpler for you because you no longer feel irritated by physical appearances.

Ubin Ubin

Monday, July 2, 2007

So, Saturday was my last official day at work. I was being sent off to Pulau Ubin to facilitate the "Ubin Hunt" done by my company for Sumitomo Japan. And here at the pictures.

Some unfortunate event happened first thing in the morning; No, i wasn't late. Its just we were cheated by the bicycle vendors there. This shop claim that they booked with our company previously so we happily let the cilents pick their bikes. Who knows they were cheating us. URGH! Anyway, its was all fine in the end.
Conclusion: bicycle vendors in Ubin are scary.

Germaine and I was stationed at the drinks stall, kampong style. Lots of ang moh there surprisely. And the drinks stall is funny cuz they literally sell Air-con water... LOL. direct translation from english that is.

Oh, and here are the donuts from donut factory. Nice but i think Krispy Kreme is still better. Thanks to gek teng, huiyee and tim cuz they were the ones that queued for 3 hours or so.

SO, the holidays start. But it seems that is not the case for me. Everyday is so packed.

1) decorate and furniturise my new room in bedok
2) shift my stuff back to bedok cuz i will be staying there durin weekdays
3) fix that sewing machine

5) finish the shoes geraldine had paid in advance for.. LOL.
6) finish SIP report, etc.
7) pack parcel to deliver to my cousin and nieces in Aussie
8) go cruise (MUST!)

But also,i hope to do these things,

1) Work out (treadmill, push-ups, pull-ups)
2) spend some time baking (its getting rusty)
3) practise piano
4) come up with at least 30 looks and design for myself
5) actually create these clothes before new semester start
6) cook for my family
7) go clubbing with friends
8) pass the BTT (optional)
9) spend some time drawing all thats going on in my mind
10) lazing around with maoqi at her pool side ( i still owe her a dress)
11) swim
12) WATCH A BLOODY HELL MOVIE FINALLY!

Actually, it would be great if i could just switch off my phone, computer, eat some drowsy cough syrup and just sleep for 3 days. URGH, i know this not going to happen this July; just too many things to complete.
