Family Matters
Monday, December 17, 2007
I have just talked to my mother on the phone today and I believe by this, you know why am I writting this email? What she told me just now was again, I felt, another dissapointment and I do admit that I am terribly upset about it. I don't mean to sound offensive here but I believe that there are some things that I wish to convey to you about how I feel personally and I hope you will be able to understand me.
My mom has made a fair bit of choices and decisions in our family matters; and decisions are what decisions are meant to be, meaning that you can't always please everyone. But nevertheless, decisions MUST be made and my sisters and I have accepted those decisions with open minds. We reserve our highest respects for our mother and for who she is, the decisions she made and we chose to stand by her through thick and thin. We don't expect other outsiders to understand our family matters nor do we wish for them to do so but yes, we do expect our family members to respect us for who we are today; after all, that is the very basic meaning as a family. I personally do not feel that what we have been through should render us to receive less levels of respect from other people.
I guess you would have as much as guessed this by now, but the reason on why we never turned up during your tea ceremony was because my uncle wasn't invited. We have always accepted him as a part of our family so yes, it came as a shock to us then, after all the hype that my sisters and I had in going to your tea ceremony. And families make decisions as a family.
I also personally think that if my sisters and I have accepted the path that my mom has chosen to take, then I think it is good enough a reason for anyone to just accept it and be happy for us. I think you would understand my point of view right?
I am truly upset over the matter and of course dissapointed and feel the need to tell you what is bothering me. I have such love and respect for my mother and it angers me to see her being unjustly treated like that. I hope I have made myself clear then.
It is such a sad thing, for what was supposed to be a happy wedding event with a purpose of bringing the family together to celebrate for the joyous couple, have to turn out like this.

Farewell
Friday, November 16, 2007
Kris has left.
Just said our goodbyes to dear old Kris. It's pretty sad though, but I am definitely happy for his change of job and the good times he can look forward to in China. New place, new experience!
Kris has been a very good companion to me since my days in Hall Three when I first entered university. When I had no one and Kris was the only Malaysian in my block whom I happen to click very well with! Who would have thought that we would also become housemates someday! *smiles*
Hope to see you real soon ol' man.

Save the turtles!!

Turtles and tortoises are such pitiful creatures. Walk so slowly to begin with and to top that up, when a predator attacks, all they do is suck their heads back in!

Russian Oil Spill
Tuesday, November 13, 2007
Killed 30 000 poor birds which were finding shelter near the shore during the storm. *sigh- heart aching*
On a totally unrelated matter, I wonder, how people commit massacres, shooting random people they met along the school corridor and then, shot themselves.
Did they shoot themselves out of guilt?
No, I dont think so.
Did they shoot themselves because they, anyway, thought of dying in the first place? So, might as well bring the others down too?
Maybe.
Then, what is it that they glorify about the previous people who had also committed a massacre and then kill themselves?
That they were damn brave people?
Are these people so depressed that they no longer see faith in other folks?
Maybe.
Then why in the world they talk to other people about weaponry and commiting massacre!!! It only goes on to show that they are not the only ones in the world! Which means they are not entirely depressed or lonely then!
"he had been in touch with MANY PEOPLE through the Internet, with whom he discussed videos and Web sites on "military issues, violence and weaponry,"
How many of them out there share the same sick thoughts?

" Do not let your job conform you next time."
I wonder whether I will be able to tolerate thoughtlesness of certain people next time.
I wonder whether will I be able to look forward to my job everyday.
I wonder whether have I made the correct decision for myself.

After like.... wha?? how many months has it been since I last wrote?? *smiles* And tonnes of things had happened to me since then! Let's see:
- started my work with eFusion, quit and started my work with International Relations Office
- Darling promised me to Redang or Tioman and he still owes me!
- started my final year in NTU
- moved out from hostel and now staying in a cosy unit near NTU
- met a few pretty important people
- joined business plan competition and wow, got into semi finals now
- wants to win bpc so that my grad trip will be free!! muahahahahahah
My condolences extended to Nurin's family... and to the other families who have lost or nearly lost their loved ones... I truly wish something else could have been done to prevent those horrific actions by those sick people of whom I wonder, what had happened to them before to ignite such terrible acts. In some ways, I think somewhere along their bringing up, somewhere must have gone very wrong.

crossroads
Friday, May 25, 2007
It is at the crossroads in lives that you begin to wonder about the paths that you have taken and the roads that were abandoned. It is at this moment, when I was trotting confidently along, that I suddenly stopped short and looked up, only to realise that the front looks scary actually. That I haven't seen it coming all along. That there aren't flowers blooming ahead. At least, not within my sight.
And the worst part is that when you turn frantically around trying to find the "Help" sign, only AGAIN to realise that there isn't one right now. You feel LONELY.And when the night comes, when the darkness swallows you deep within, you realise the only thing you can do is to wrap yourself with the bare arms and stare up into the sparkly sky, hoping for the best.
And when dawn breaks, there you are, crouching next to a tree, smilling into the new beginning, ready to brave the new day again.

Leadership Quiz - Your Results
Your results indicate that your leadership style is both: Participative and Delegative
Participative Leadership
Participative leaders accept input from one or more group members when making decisions and solving problems, but the leader retains the final say when choices are made. Group members tend to be encouraged and motivated by this style of leadership. This style of leadership often leads to more effective and accurate decisions, since no leader can be an expert in all areas. Input from group members with specialized knowledge and expertise creates a more complete basis for decision-making.
Delegative Leadership
Delegative leaders allow group members to make decisions. This style is best used in situations where the leader needs to rely on qualified employees. The leader cannot be an expert in all situations, which is why it is important to delegate certain tasks out to knowledgeable and trustworthy employees.Remember, good leaders utilize all three styles depending upon the situation.
For example:
Use an authoritative style if a group member lacks knowledge about a certain procedure.
Use a participative style with group members who understand the objectives and their role in the task.
Use a delegative style if the group member knows more than you do about the task.
This is what happens when I am too bored. URGH.

"Mohamad Rosle Ahmad wrote in a letter to the editor: "I am sure Enron and Worldcom paid more than top dollar for their top executives, and look where their companies are now - six feet under."
Lee Kuan Yew, whose title is minister mentor, said naysayers like this need a reality check.
"I say you have no sense of proportion; you don't know what life is about," he said last month."
NOW we know why the increase the sales tax. The famous words of Lord Acton reminds us that "absolute power corrupts absolutely".
On a different note, I think I will die during the holidays. Work during daytime, dance my soul out night time. Practices are on every Mon, Wed, Thurs and Fri. Sat is still unknown and probably used to choreograph moves. Goner.
Boy, do I need a long holiday this time. No more studying. God knows I was still overwhelmed by last semester. 6 biology subjects and that's not inclusive of our 3-hour lab time every week! What the freak? And only a month break before this semester (4 bio and 1 business) started and yes, it felt way too short. I don't know what my school wants seriously, you know you have studied more than enough when Master exchange students are sitting in the same lecture hall with me and our undergraduate students in other countries have nothing to take but Master's subjects. I am becoming nerdier by the second.

Someday
Friday, April 13, 2007
1. Visit North Pole
The rare phenomenon of the beautiful sun and moon together. ( Come to think of it, I don't know if this is even possible)
2. Visit South Pole
and see penguins in the wild!
3. Climb Mt.Kinabalu
Can you picture the satisfaction and victorious feeling upon scaling it????
4. Feast my eyes on Mt.Everest and Mt.Fuji
Feast, not climb. I think the Himalayas of Nepal is really beautiful.
5. See the whales
I love Anne of Green Gables collection (credit goes to my Darling who found the entire collection for me!)and really L.M Montmogery was so amazing! This book has thought me loads of things since childhood days ,especially one that I held onto very strongly - hope. And she had painted such a beautiful picture of PEI, of dreams and hopes! There is even a place where they built the Anne of Green Gables house for tourism. But then again, maybe visiting it might not be such a good idea after all. It would be like, being awakened from a beautiful, sweet dream, don't you think so?
Yes, I am not such a city girl. Don't really like the concrete buildings. Feel suffocated at times, don't you think so? The serene beauty of the nature can never be represented by those tall, concrete blocks. And it's sad, how we often tend to forget to pause for a few minutes, to just turn to the tree next to us and think, I wonder how old you are now?

Fumbling
Tuesday, April 10, 2007
okay okay I know this is not the best time to be thinking of what I want to do next time but I can't help it!!!!! I have been pondering and I can't help but to think that I can't just settle for a 9-5 job of an SGD of 2500 a month (and that's IF I get a proper job)!!!! I am such a spender! How am I suppose to support my dad and mom AND pay my study loan AND the bills, the rental, the good food that I love and the nice clothes that I can only drool for????!!!! Not to mention the travelling around the world that I'd like to do. Not to mention saving up a bit for studying AND for rainy days. Oh, I forgot to mention a car. *faint* And most likely a dog too while we are at it.
Since Exploit Tech came down, I have been thinking about becoming an IP agent. Reasons being:
1. It has everything to do with what I am studying
2. Science and technology is moving so fast and everyone needs their products or ideas to be patented
3. It involves one to predict whether the product will be able to make it or not in the industry ( I think I would like that)
4. It is professional. LOL.
5. OK, this sounds invalid but I can't help it that every numerological, horoscope and zodiac predictions ALWAYS and I mean always say that I should be involved in business, sales and law. Maybe this is good? its a combi of business and law anyway.
6. I like consultancy and advising as well.
Reasons NOT becoming one:
1. The manager I met told me that you have to know your stuff really well because you get shitty professors coming up to you saying, "Do you have a PHD?" before you even start advising. And worse response if you tell them your product is not going to be able to make it outside there.
2. Becoming an IP agent means doing an extra year in IP academy to be a registered IP agent. Now, I think I should also say that studying law doesnt exactly excite me.
3. I am not a very methodological person (as there are many procedures to obtain a license).
6 to 3??? hhhmm....... or heck, maybe I should just start a business. :P

Walt Disney
He was an admirable man. One who was called the father of animation. One who had such vivd dreams and imagination that only words such as; impressive, inventor, genius: can be associated with him. I owe it to him to believe and hope. I owe it to him to remember that good and beautiful things do happen after all. I owe it to him for learning my English when I was young. How absurd of me to be sitting in front of the TV at every 5.30 in the evening to watch cartoons before or after playing outside. And it is even more absurd that a fully grown woman of 22 will answer to her nieces and nephew like that:-
Nieces and nephew: YiYi (auntie)!!!!!
(they will be in the living room and me in the room)
22-year-old: Yes??
Nieces and nephew: Spongebob Squarepants is on now!! Come out!!!!!!!!
22-year-old: OKAY!
(races to the living room)
Yes, I still love to watch cartoons to this day. And nothing could change that. I love the idea of hope and belief it brought to me. I love the idea of simplicity holding the beauty. I love the idea of how immature and childish it may seem, but yet has a deeper meaning to it. I love the idea that a simple 2-D animated cartoon is able to contain such a message and still make us laugh our heads off.
It never really hit me the immense work and art of Walt Disney until I went to Tokyo Disneyland. He did it. Everything over there is so magical, so true. I saw all the Japanese kids over there, wide-eyed, listening to every word that Mickey said, and was thinking how lucky these kids are. I was amazed, not just by the beautiful buildings but simply the feeling of me being inside Disneyland. I was the happiest of all the happy girls that day. It is the only feeling where one can ONLY feel it in Disneyland. I felt like I was brought back to my kiddy days. Like, everything could really come true if you believe in it. And, it will, you know.
Thank you, Mr.Disney, for not only building the most famous theme park in the world, but also proving to us that, really, we should keep on believing and hoping, holding on to our dreams and knowing that it will come some day.
Oh, just to note, Hong Kong Disneyland, is not that great.

High School Never Ends
Thursday, April 05, 2007
I love these awesome lyrics! :P
Four years you think for sure
That’s all you've got to endure
All the total dicks
All the stuck up chicks
So superficial, so immature
Then when you graduate
You take a look around and you say HEY WAIT!
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over
Aw that’s just great
The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who‘s the best dressed and who‘s having sex
Who‘s got the money, who gets the honeys
Who‘s kinda cute and who‘s just a mess
And you still don’t have the right look
And you don’t have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends
High school never ends
Check out the popular kids
You’ll never guess what Jessica did
How did Mary Kate lose all that weight
And Katie had a baby so I guess Tom’s straight
And the only thing that matters
Is climbing up that social ladder
Still care about your hair and the car you drive
Doesn’t matter if you’re sixteen or thirty-five
Reese Witherspoon,She’s the prom queen
Bill Gates,Captain of the chess team
Jack Black, the clown
Brad Pitt, the quarterback
Seen it all before I want my money back!!
The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who’s the best dressed and who’s having sex
Who’s in the club and who’s on the drugs
Who’s throwing up before they digest
And you still don’t have the right look
And you don’t have the right friends
And you still listen to the same shit you did back then
High school never ends
High school never ends

Women abuse
Sunday, April 01, 2007
The women over at New Delhi,
- sexually abuse by husband (sometimes in fron of children) and more of them being exploited into sex tourism
- after tsunami, women sold off their KIDNEYS to make ends meet.
- with the amount they have, hopefully to help the family, was taken by the husband to drink
- after selling their kidneys, no proper follow up medication was given, leading to severe abdominal pains preventing them from work.
Why women are always the subject for abuse????? GROSS.
Places like Japan ( I know its the culture and I should respect them) but the super blown up ego of the men over there.... i tell you....feels like smacking their heads! I will never work for a Jap company!
What's wrong with them? At the end of the day, down right to the core, it's just the difference of you having a Y gene and me having a double X. If we respect you men, why cant's we get the same amount of respect back? HAH.
And there have been reports that Y gene is degenerating. Unstable telomeric ends. Facing extinction maybe???
Which goes back to proving my theory. That we were hemaphrodites (self-fertilised: have both sperms and eggs) to begin with and there was no male back then! *laughs gleefully*
Note: something is wrong with my blog. damn. all the writtings for previous post was gone!

Darling's Pre-birthday
Saturday, March 31, 2007
22nd March 2007! The usual people went out and celebrated darling's birthday and it was fun fun FUN! *smiles*
Went to XO bihun for a yummy dinner. Oh, and the group met Kris's gf for the first time!
I love the XO bihun! the group indulging in it...
The guys whom I met since my first day in NTU.... We no longer keep in touch that often anymore but still.... somehow pretty crazy when we got together. i guess some things just don't change after all... :) so nolstalgic to see the 4 of them again. (though for some funny reasons they refuse to take this pic at first:*rolls eyes* - GUYS)
That's darling the pre-birthday boy!
After XO bihun, *slurpz* we went on to Settlers'! and I love the place to pieces! Ok, this place rocks because...you can hang out and bond with your friends and no one gives a care how loud you laugh AND at the same time, you get to play games! Well, basically, this place serves all kinds of board games. They have 200 over variety of board games imported from all over the world...you can choose between the 'reflex games' (which are just mindless where you scream and shout but fun nevertheless) and the strategy games (where you use your brain). After a series of mindless games... screaming ourselves hoarse and laughing our heads off...we went on for more strategy-based games. oh, they have someone explaining all the games to you!
Balderdash!
The game goes like this.
You have an umpire that draws a card and asks questions from it... say..
umpire: what happens on th 15th Oct 1954?
Nobody knows what happened on 15th Oct 1954 and if you do, you are a freak! So all of us start making up answers...and pass it on to the umpire. Umpire reads it out including the REAL answer and we are suppose to guess the real one! So, if another person thinks yours sonuds real....then you get a point! and if you picked the correct answer...you get 3 points! and hence move 3 steps on the board!
Blur? hahahahaha
What happened on the 3rd of March 1923?
:) well, we ve got one vote for it! ahahahahahhahaha
exquisite night.
Some funny answers by Jing and Kris:
What does PCAA stand for?
Pigs Can be Adults Again
What does JBDC stand for?
Jane Blows Dick for Cash
Seriously. Darling and I thought that was the correct answer. :)

Happy 23rd Birthday to my Darling!
Sunday, March 25, 2007
Happy Birthday darling!!! Got my darling an Eragorn book collection, though I don't think he is too enthralled by it....HAAHAHAHHA but I surely do hope he enjoyed his birthday as much as I did! We went to Settler's the night before with Mich, Deon, Seong, Jing, Kris and Ee Ting and it was good! Pics will be up soon for that one, but really I think I want to open Settler's in Penang!
Brewing on the idea still.....
Anyway, here are the pics!
Right at the beginning of the day while waiting for bus to go to JP. Watched TMNT and then went to Brewerkz!!!!!! Why oh why I haven't discovered this heavenly place before! Appreciation goes to Jason who recommended the blasting place! Basically, Brewerkz is a restaurant where the beers are brewed over there and gosh! Before Brewerkz, my vocabulary of beers are limited to Tiger, Carlsberg, Heineken and Hoegarden and I don't quite like it as it is bitter but after Brewerkz.... man.... my whole perception changed!!!!!! My vocab of beers have expanded to Golden ALe, Indai Pale Ale, Steam Beer, Wheat beer, Pilsner...oh my GAWD!
AtBrewerkz Microbrewery. That's the Golden Ale and Hoegarden (it doesnt taste at all like the ones from 7 eleven!)
See the blue lamp-post-look-alike thingy on the table?? That's a TOWER. Yes, a TOWER of stout where they have 4000ml in it. nuts. Even the food in Brwerkz has beer! *slurpz* and yes, the food is great there in Brwerkz
The scenery from Brewerkz right next to the river. The other side of the river is where all the clubs are situated.... directly next to Brewerkz was Iguana's where they serve the BEST maragritas and on the other side of Brewerkz, is Wine Garage! Tell me, aint it heavenly??? *dreamy eyes*
Darling and I. still pretty sober.
Darling and Aman the Northern Indian who has never EVER cut his hair before and who has a sister whose wedding lasted for a week in India!
