My chalk board

Evacuation in 45 minutes!

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 10:04:00 +0000

Today is a crazy day! I woke up at around 9.30 am and went to the college at around 10 am to collect my receipt. Then I just went to another hostel to check if they have already put my name under the waiting list for the rooms there were full the last time I contacted them.

Then they just told me they have already prepared a room for me. I asked if I could move in immediately and she said YES! Woohoo! I was so thrilled and happy. Even happier than the time I got back my SPM results slip back. Why? This is because the previous hostel was well, it's clean of course, but the thought of having to share the bathrooms with soooooo many people just freaks me out. And then, when night comes, fuiyoh... I went to bed at 11 pm but even until 2 am I still couldn't sleep. Why? Because just across my room is this freaking highway and even until past midnight, it's still full of cars. Every 10 seconds, you could hear a "zoooooommmm" going pass the road. Well, here. It's better I think. Brighter, nearer to the shops. And well, there is an attached bathroom for each room. So, still okay la...

Anyway, I had so many bags to bring over to my new hostel today. So much so that the taxi driver asked me,"Waaa... Kamu pindah seluruh rumahkah?! Banyaknya barang!" Yup, there is really a lot of stuff. Luckily the security guard and the mak cik at the previous hostel were kind enough to help me carry all my stuff to the taxi. Then when I finally arrived at my new hostel, I was a bit frustrated on how to bring the bags up to the fourteenth floor at first. But, once again, I'm lucky enough to have met another few kind people. A boy, whom I think is somewhere from the middle east, another Indonesian girl, whom I later found out is just staying in front of my room and the security guard. Anyway, have I told you guys that I actually got this taxi driver from another place because it's very hard to get cabs from my previous hostel? And at that time I haven't even packed my stuff yet. He was kind enough to wait for me for 45 minutes in the mamak stall nearby. Yup, I packed ALL my stuff in just 45 minutes! I think I might do well if someday I plan to flee to some other places in a matter of minutes! Haha. Anyway, I'm really grateful that God helped me so much so that I can meet a few good Samaritans while I was moving into the new hostel.

My roommate from my previous hostel is moving in to the new hostel as well. She said that she could not stand any longer living there. She's now staying in the 18th floor. At first she called my roommate to see if they can change rooms so that she can stay with me. I wonder how she got her phone number but anyway, both of them are studying the same course. So I guess that is how she got her number. But my current roommate said that she just unpacked everything yesterday so she didn't want to swap rooms with her. So, fine for me anyway. Both are fine and friendly. But the previous one seems... errr.... cuter in personality? I guess so. Anyway, I hope that when college starts on Wednesday, things will just get much better!

Till next time! Tata!

Happy 2009!!!

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 13:43:00 +0000

Hi everyone!!! I hope it's not too late to say Happy New Year now! Hehe. Well, I've been busy for the past few days. Busy preparing preparations for college. Well, so far, everything has been fine. Housemates are friendly and helpful. Just that I dislike the area that I'm now staying at. The surrounding is full of roads and the room that I'm staying at is just in front of a highway. Very, seriously, noisy. I don't know how to take the transports from this area and the hostel looks... well... dark? I don't know. But one thing for sure is I'm going to switch hostel as soon as possible, to the more litted area. And of course, a place with more facilities and stuff.

On my first day when I stepped foot in the LCCT, my parents and I took the Air Asia bus to KL Sentral. After I found my seat in the bus, I came to know that behind me were a family of four. The parents were seated behind my mum and I while their two daughters were seated on the same row on the other side of the bus. From their conversation, I assume that they are from Australia. And no, they are not Caucasians, they are Indians. Travelling for such a long distance gets boring at times. That's why I... well... not to say eavesdrop, but I just "accidentally" listened to their conversation.

There was one part where we crossed a highway where there are little hills along it.

Wife: Ooohh... The hills look lovely. But the litter is terrible. Look.
Husband: Yeah. They Malaysian Government find it hard to educate their citizens.

There was also another part where we passed Mid Valley.
Wife: (talking to her daughter) Hey look! It's Mid Valley. It's one of the largest shopping malls in Malaysia. It has an area of 430 m X yada.. yada.. yada..

And I thought, Wow! This woman sure did her homework before coming here!

Well, there are a lot of other bits where I find interesting but after such a long time, I just forgot about it. Haha, getting old I guess.

Anyway, wish you all have a blessed new year and good luck in the new year of Ox!

Days to go...

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 20:46:00 +0000

3 more days to go... Broooooommmm...
4 more days to go... Whose birthday leh?
10 more days to go... I'm terrible at remembering birthdays...
11 more days to go... Time for a new beginning...

I'm so excited! XD

Fickle mindedness

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:52:00 +0000

Fickle minded? Yes, I know that this word describes me well. Before those encouraging words that I got from my friends, I really disliked blogging so much ever since I encountered those anonymous attacks. Yes, and that is before those words of advice came in. I want to make it clear that I really appreciate what you guys have said. It’s like this invisible hand that suddenly pulls me out of this gloominess that I’ve been having. And maybe some of us have no idea how a simple word of encouragement or even a thank you have an impact on others. But in the reality, it does matter. A simple act of kindness is just what it takes to make this world a better place to live in. And no. I’m not preaching nor am I a saint. I’m just speaking out of experience. My dad even said that by blogging, you are actually revealing your personal stuff to outsiders and that is like inviting trouble at times. And I believe that. But I shall be responsible for my own decisions. Whatever happens, let it be. Avoiding the source of the problem is not the way of solving it.

So, do you have any idea what I’m about to say? Yes! I’ll be blogging again. Some of you said that you enjoyed reading what I write. Thanks. That’s encouraging. Yeah, and I’m also sure that some think that it’s boring. Never mind. Whatever it is, you guys are still free to comment. This includes the anonymous attacker. I’ll not be filled up with rage anymore. I’ve learnt how to let go and stay positive.

I’ve been reading a lot of articles in the Internet for the past few days. And you know what I google-ed? Well stuff like, “Why people hate their lives”, “Why people cyber bully” and also “Why people…” yada yada. And yeah, there are a lot of stories that made me think. Some of them tell us how they stood up again, each time they fall when they are met with troubles. It may not take a short time. But God has His ways of helping us. I know I’m not anything like a devoted Christian, but reading these articles has really made me seen what He is able to do for us. That is why, as I have said, this is really an eye-opening experience for me. I mean it. If I have not met with this attacker, I would not have realized that no matter how hard we try, we are still subject to criticisms. I wouldn’t have realized how a word of encouragement is so important. I would not have realized how to forgive and forget. I would not have also realized how dangerous it is when rage has taken control of our minds. And most importantly, I wouldn’t have realized that religion and God means a lot in my life. I finally understand why Sha is so passionate about going to CF or church on every Sunday while I, as my usual lazy self, would either sleep till late afternoon or go out to anywhere else but the church in the past. Now I know. Yeah… I know some of you are already feeling sleepy with my sudden burst of “preaching” by now. Well, you are still reading until this line? Kudos then! Hehe

Anyway, results for SAM will be out in another 4 hours! Wish me luck!

To whom it may concern

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 19:42:00 +0000

I am going to post this post as rational as I can. No foul words. No nothing. I think hatred has overcome me for the past few days, so much so that I am unable to differentiate between what is right and what is wrong. Two wrongs won't make one right. I have finally come up to a rational mind that what I have been doing, which includes retaliating at the commenter's comments by posting even nastier posts, is not right. Yes, I admit that. Thank you Jason for helping me to regain my rationale.

I would not think this as an unfortunate event for me but it is really an eye opener for me. I finally realise that no matter how much you do, there will still be others who will be dissatisfied with you. You cannot please everyone around you. I agree that I used to be very sensitive to words. That's why I keep on replying with even nastier comments. But I've been doing a lot of thinking these past few days. People slander others when they feel inadequate about themselves, and what more if it can be done anonymously, that would be even better. I'm sure no one would say that they have never gossiped about others before. I myself do that. But we have to bear in mind that nothing comes without any consequences. In each of the nasty post that I have posted to counter this anonymous commenter, I have replied with rage and I really dislike it. Life full of hatred is not what I want.

So, I won't make this long but to whoever who did it, I shall forgive you, disregard of whether you expect it or not. I am also sorry for all the nasty remarks that I have made for the past few days. I will not let this childish experience burden me. As for you, it depends to yourself. It's your life, you make your decisions and you have to live with it. I will not carry this hatred with me as it is really tiring. But just remember this. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me. You can keep on posting those comments as you like. I'll lift the ban on your IP address so that you can continue posting if you want. I will not bother to post anymore new nasty comments or posts to react to your comments. But I have to say, I'm really tired of all these. I'm not going to blog anymore and I'm going to remove this blog permanently soon, after you have gotten the chance to read this. I hope that I get my message straight out to you and for whatever I did that displeased you in the past, I'm sorry for that. That's all. Thank you.

Designer brands

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 11:03:00 +0000

Recently, I read a magazine and in it, it gives us two websites where we could actually check the right pronounciation of designer brands. Yup. I know. Mispronouncing the names could sometimes cause us major embarrassment. It could be one of those social blunders that we all brood at, especially when you are surrounded by fashion conscious and classy people! It is also not until I start college that I get some of the names right. So I hope that these websites may come in handy for you guys, just in case who knows, if you become a fashionista in the future or simply just for everyday conversations. :) Well, here are the links:-

http://fashion.about.com/cs/designers/l/blpronounce.htm

http://hauteconcept.com/2008/07/31/fashion-101-how-to-pronounce-designer-names/

The first link is actually audio enabled. So you get to listen to the right pronounciations of the designer brands. The second one only has words to teach us about the right pronounciation. Whatever it is, enjoy stepping in to the world of couture!

Movies

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 11:16:00 +0000

Watched Twilight last night in One Borneo with a couple of classmates. Well for those of you who haven't watched it, it's about a vampire who falls in love with a girl. Well, I think that the story is quite nice. Just that I was hoping that the vampire would bite the girl's neck in the end so that she can become a vampire and become immortal and thus live forever with him. Haha. Anyway, hoping for a Twilight 2. Because the other villain, Victoria is still alive!

Anyway, the mall looks kinda creepy when all shops are closed at night. With those mannequins displayed in the display windows of the shops, one could easily mistake them for a human. Furthermore, with my short sightedness, things become even blurrier with my indistinct vision. At first I saw a person sitting on a chair in the middle of the exit door and I was like what? But as I walked further I noticed that it's just a sticker of a person sitting on a chair that is sticked on the glass door. Silly me. I guess I have to start wearing glasses to wherever I go instead of just wearing them for reading purposes. Hmppph....

Anyway, I guess Wynelle has to start wearing glasses too? Haha. At first she asked me if the couple behind us are lesbian couples. And as I looked back, I saw that there was actually a girl and a guy who dressed somehow like a girl who is actually a guy. Haha I don't know what I'm talking about but I think that it was a guy. Or maybe I got it wrong again? I have no idea. Anyway, I hope that before I leave KK I would be able to have a look at some trannies in Cathay because according to her, they look gorgeous. XD

THE day

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 15:50:00 +0000

Yes, I have this friend. I've known her for almost 19 years. This girl did graduate today. Finally. After 2 years since SPM, she attended her first graduation day. Well, graduation day was okay. But as usual, her hands were all sweaty and she was really reluctant to shake hands with the person who handed her the scroll. Yeah, what's his name already ah? She doesn't know. She just knows that his speech was bad. Anyway, she was commented by the CEO that she was not walking naturally while on stage. Hey! She WAS walking the way she walks everyday okay. So malu la her. I guess I need to teach her how to walk properly. Anyway, she took some pictures for the ceremony.

Taking picture with the future fireman. She didn't know she was being "bunny-ed" during the process until she took the final look at the pic when she got home.

With Carmen. *Wonder if she has brought back home her "Welcome to SAM" and stick it in her room. Hmppphhh*

With Kelly. She just noticed how sleepy she look in this pic.

She's taking picture with her naughty cousin. Look alike meh? Where got. The only thing same is that they both have eyes, nose, mouth and ears la! Oooopppsss!!! I forgot to mention BOOBS. Hehe

Haiz. Taking picture with Tan. Pagi pagi come to school already say he looks very handsome ah, how he styled his hair for 10 minutes ah. I guess he doesn't have a mirror at home.

Afiz the group leader. His hair seems to be getting browner and browner. No wonder. Now I know why so many SAM students dye their hair. Cause he 'lead' them. Muahahahaha. jk jk
Jonathan. Wow. I'm so lucky to have taken picture with this handsome guy. Salivating.

Valennie. Saw reporters interviewing her after the graduation. So syiok! Haha.

Alwyn. The hair this time has even more highlights! How I wish I could do that too! If only my hair is not falling...

Jovin. The guy who's good with figures. Uisheh man. Top in accounting and Maths. Muahahaha

Miss Angie. Yihh... People say that she's pretty and she said I've used those lines before wer. Well, this is because they always work! Muahahaha Anyway, wonder if she remembers to buy my pisang goreng in Likas. Good news everyone! I'm selling pisang goreng from next year onwards! Don't want to go to school anymore! Muahahahaha

Now this one ha. Mr Raymond. My ex-Maths tutor. This is a tricky one. When I took this picture rite, suddenly I felt that one of my shoulder is heavier. Suddenly feel 'berat sebelah'. Then when I looked back, haha, no wonder, his hand is on my shoulders. I hope he doesn't know I have a blog.

Miss Chong. My ex-legal studies lecturer. Haha suddenly I feel so tall :)

Mr Raymond Lai. Accounting lecturer. Heeeheeeeeee... I miss having his class. Very free. And he's very easy going one. Haha

Mr Teh. Maths teacher. His Maths is good. My Maths is bad. No matter how good he teaches, my Maths is still bad. No matter who teach me Maths, my Maths is still bad. This is bad. :(

Well, after that, we went to Upperstar to have lunch. Ordered these few dishes. Forgotten their name anyway.

Actually I didn't want to take pictures of food but since the camera's with me, I decided to snap everything I can. Later we went to One Borneo. Feet ached like hell. These few days, I've been 'practising' on how to wear ladies shoes. Gosh! It's not even high heels. It's just pumps. And my feet was sooooooooooo painful. And I had to take small steps every time to minimise the pain. I just wonder how ladies walk with these stuff. Ah~ Girls!

Busted!

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 01:35:00 +0000

Geez... I can't believe that I almost forget that I have a blog. Well, this is the impact that the holidays have on me. It causes my brain power to degenerate. And what is 1 + 1 already?

Anyways, after 5 days of boredom at home, we went out to shop around on both Saturday and Sunday. My mum bought a few clothes and pants for me on Saturday and when she got back, she said that she would not buy anything for me again since she had already bought stuff for me that day. Well, on the next day, I was still able to work my ways and ask her to buy stuff for me. Hehee Grace and her persuading power! Perhaps I should stop studying and start selling credit cards on the street from now onwards. Who knows I can sell more to those ah pak, ah sam and those sam gu luk po? Nah, then who knows I can sell, sell sell, till my commission reach over a million? *Slap myself* Grace! Stop dreaming! The sun is still out there.

Anyway, well, there was a point when I went into a clothing shop in Merdeka. I didn't know why but my stomach started bloating. It was so uncomfortable. Me, who memang tak tahan punya, went to one corner and started 'releasing gas'. Hahahahahahahaha I can't believe I'm writing this sort of things here. Just delete it from your mind after you read this. I do not need any promoters to 'spread the word'. Well, the story doesn't stop here. Later, there was this Malay salesgirl who went to the 'spot' that I left. Then she suddenly bursted out soooooo loud,"Eh ada orang kentut! Ada orang kentut! Siapa yang buang angin ni?!" And she kept on repeating and repeating to her colleagues. Well, of course, I the honest one, raised my hand and said that I did it. Then she felt touched by my honesty and said that I could by any clothes from the shop for 30% discount.

Hahahahahaha No la. Of course I didn't admit it. In fact I acted dumb and innocent, walked around and left. I was soooooo busted. But how I wish the last part where she gives me a discount happens. Hmpphhhhh...

Crack!

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 13:54:00 +0000

How do we crack a game? How? How? I searched for 'how to crack a game' online. Yeah, I even watched the video. But i didn't work. Which one of these steps are wrong?

Copy exe file from crack folder
Paste the copied exe file from the crack folder and replace the other original exe file in the game's main folder.
Then? Duh! Run!

But it didn't work! Can someone tell me how can I crack the game? I'm going to crack soon as I'm too bored at house now. Help!

What happened on Sunday?

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 16:21:00 +0000

This afternoon we went for lunch at Hana in Citymall. The food was ermmm... nothing special? But I really love their salad. And we ordered some sushi. And wow as soon as it arrived, I immediately laid my chopsticks on it but when I started eating it, I noticed the salmon on top of it was still a bit raw. I hate raw salmon! I usually don't eat it. But considering it's so costly, I had to keep on repeating the $$ in my mind. Yuck! And at the same time, the email which I received couple of months ago with images of a person's brain who ate to much raw salmon and had a lot of worms in his brain kept on flashing in my brain as well. Double yuck!

Anyway, went to 1Borneo later. Just before we were heading back to the car, I finally saw Toys R Us! It's newly open here. I actually wanted to go in and look around considering what that "Ben Tan" Tan has said so much about it. At first when he said he went there and bought some stupid "living" monkeys (which I doubt is still alive) and some sort of guessing machine, I was like: Hello? Eh. How old are you ah? For goodness sake you're 19! But my curiosity is unlocked! I told my mum I wanted to go in but my dad was like, aiyah... next time la... Tired d... :( Anyway, I think it will be next Saturday where we'll be staying at Tune hotel. The rates are cheap what... So can take the opportunity to go and see lo! Hehe.

Anyhow, YES! EVAN! *I have to put this all on capital letter in case you don't see it. Lol* Can! Can! You can order! Just tell me what kind of card you want! :) And VK! No, your "big aquarium" is not yet open. At the moment, you can go to the pasar and look at those fish if you want. XD

Okay. Time to pen-off. Tata. Till next time.

Cards

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:24:00 +0000

Haven't watched ANTM yet... Don't know why the internet is so slow today. :( It suddenly disconnected when youtube's loading.

Anyway, went to pizza just now. And I discovered that I actually have a new hobby! And that is scooping the salad from the salad counter! Muahahahaha!!! I'm so excited to get the salad just now that I insisted with my mum that I had to be the one to take the salad. And I managed to take a mountain high of salad! Lol! The trick is you lay down all the big big ones below, then cover it with a layer of thousand island, then cover it with the smaller ones then with another layer of thousand island and the process continues until you feel satisfied with your work of art! Hehe. Anyway, I saw a man who got a bowl of salad that's 'higher' than mine! And this means, I lost! Cannot! Must practise more at home! XD

Well, for the past few days, guess what I've been doing at home? I've been making cards! Well, here are the cards that I have made.

Don't say anything if it's ugly. If it's nice, then treat me to dinner for letting you see 'nice' things. Hehe.

Christmas card

Birthday card

Birthday card 2

Birthday card 3

Birthday card 4

Wedding card

Wedding card (inside)

Keep in touch card

Keep in touch card (inside)

Chinese New Year card

Yes I know that some of them are ugly (especially the one with the piggy and the cupcake) as I was rushing while making some of them. Anyway, it's still OK la, I think, can be presented to others. Okay then! Till next time! Cheerio!

It's out!

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 08:05:00 +0000

ANTM Cycle 11 Finale is finally out!!!! *Heart pumping*..*Adrenaline secreted* Waiting for youtube to finish loading. Unfortunately I read some of the comments before it finish loading. Some stupid fellow put a comment that reads "Analeigh should have won.". Stupid idiot! Put under the first part's comments some more! Ish! If she loses, it's obvious who wins! Darn! Have to wait and see.

Templates

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 04:18:00 +0000

The excessive boredom that I experience for the past few days has induced me to try something new. Well, that is of course things that do not cost a dime. Anyway, as obvious as it sounds, I've made changes to the template of my blog. And boy, now only I know it's quite time consuming as each time we change the template of the blog, everything else is reset and we have to re-add everything else that was lost during the process.

Anyway, I had a hard time choosing the template. Should it be this colour or the other? Each time I clicked on a page and when I find a template that I love, I would still click on another hyperlink to find better ones. That's why I could not make up my mind so quickly. Yes, I know. I'm fickle minded and I've been told. Anyway, I didn't know why but I suddenly had a fetish for pink! Yes you heard me! It's pink! It's a big deal for me considering that I'm not the girly girl type and I have no previous records of loving pink before. I mean, like everytime I see pink bag, pink purse, pink dress and pink everything, I would be like, arghhh... seriously? Pink? Well maybe this time it's just a sudden infatuation, I guess. Hormones do play a role, I think.

Well, these are the templates that I considered not bad and had to choose from.

Love the big heart on the top left but it seems too gay for me.

This butterflies look so cool but once applied to the blog they look like stupid butterflies who doesn't know how to fly and keep on banging to each other. So ng-ng.

Woah... Another heart. Love the combination of the pink and purple, which reminds me of a classmate. But same thing. Too gay for me.

This template seems nostalgic. I mean, the colour and everything, it just looks so 60's. Anyway, I'm not like 50 or 60 years old. So, ng-ng. Not for me as well. Maybe if I'm still alive when I'm 80 and my hands can still type, then I can use it.

Liked this one as well. But at the second thought, it just looks too red. I don't want my blog to look like an ang pau. It's not Chinese New Year.

Love the blue. But the flower just seems so weird. I mean they look like breasts with black nipples. So, ng-ng. It doesn't fit in here cause my blog is not porn-based.

Initially, my mum asked me to choose this one. Yes! I asked for my mum's opinion. But then well, I found a better one, which is the one that I'm using now and it's chosen by my dad! And I thought he had bad taste.

Love the graffiti. But the black looks too solemn. Though I like black cause it looks elegant. But this is too much, it looks like visiting a graveyard or something.

Okay. This pink is very light and very gentle. I like it but it's just so un-me. It's more suitable for those nun who work in the church as it just seems too nice. But I wonder if they blog... Hmmmmphhh...

And at last! I've chosen the template that you're now looking at! I don't have the picture of it though. You can see it on your big wide screen! Hehe. Okay, till next time! Tata!

XOXO

Hair

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:51:00 +0000

The fume released from the car is killing me. I'm now in the second floor of my apartment and yet I can still smell those foul-smelling, fetid car fumes! Arghh! It irritates the hell out of me! Why can't that bloody bugger give his/her car some servicing before he/she drives around KK and pollute the air?! Don't you know that I have fragile and delicate lungs?! I'm so annoyed and it is really getting in my hair. But I don't think it's really because of the car. I'm just finding some excuses to complain. I thought having a loooong holiday would be something that I'm looking forward to. In fact, I feel really bored right now. A few hours of viwawa-ing doesn't help. It just makes me blasé. I'm getting tired of it. Quit viwawa! Forever and ever! Muahahahahaha! Nah... That's not gonna happen. I guess.

Looks like it's going to be a humdrum month. I'm penniless. I only have RM3.20 with me now. What can I do with this amount of money? The most I can do is buy 32 sweets from the Indian shop down there. Siao ah! Youtube? Don't know what else to watch. TV1, 2, 3? Oh my gosh! I better jump down the roof. Days look longer than it is supposed to be. 24 hours a day seem like 24 years to me right now.

Anyway, my hair is dropping a lot lately. My guess is that it's because of the last hair dye that I had. The brand of the hair dye is either Hoyu or Bigen. That was the eighth hair dye I had since June last year. And now I don't dare to dye my hair anymore. Because this hair fall I have this time doesn't look normal. I really really drop a lot of hair. The floor in my house is full of my long hair. When I wash my hair, there could be like 20 strands of hair everytime I brush it down. And my bed.... woah... you should really have a look at it... Full of hair. And it's freaky! I would rather have long black hair than be bald!

Continuation of the ah pak story...

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:59:00 +0000

$*^%#@&#!

Yes!

Finally!

I'm liberated!

SAM's finally over!

And I get to play all I want till February!

Anyway, accounting was fine today. It's just that the time was slightly insuficient and I had to cram all I can remember in one sentence. I even used a lot of 'and' 'and' and 'and' in one sentence so that I do not have to start a new sentence and add so much fullstops. Hehe.

Anyhow, before the exam started, we were given 10 minutes of reading time to go through all the questions. This ah pak suddenly came to my table and asked me to apply to college through him again. Then he asked, "What are you going to study?" I answered, "I don't know." "Business?"... *No answer* ... "Accounting?" "I don't know!" Then he left. Grrrr.... I even rushed down the stairs when I saw him coming from behind while leaving the class. Freaky ah pak!

Never mind~ I shall enjoy my holidays from now on!!!! Woot! Straight to viwawa again! Must reach level 50 before I start college next year! Muahahahahahaha!!!!

Study! Study! Study!

Grace must go to study! Tomorrow is accounting! Last day already! Last chance! Shoo! Go to study!

I think I'm going nuts. I've already literally spoken and talked to myself several times despite the fact that I'm alone at home today. Every few minutes I would say to myself, "Grace!!! Tomorrow's your final exam! Go to study!" But on the other side of the room, I can hear my laptop saying to me in a very seductive voice,"Oh Grace. Come to me. Let's viwawa." And I can't help but being tempted! and here I am! I'm now in level 25! Woot!

Mama's the king

It takes a really long time for me to come up with a decision everytime. Each time before embarking on any decisions, I have to evaluate both the pros and cons. So after a really long time, I finally came up with my decision of going to HELP. My mum said no to journalism and mass communication. So I had to choose business. We even booked the air tickets yesterday.

Then, came night. My mum asked me to choose another college, AGAIN! She asked me to choose between Sunway and Monash. I'm like, what?! The air tickets have already been booked! She said, "Never mind. Just treat it as a vacation."

Now I'm really really torn between these two choices. Everything is almost similar as the location of both unis are quite near too each other. The courses, not much difference. The only thing different is the rankings and the cost. The joint degree with Lancaster University from Sunway, well, it ranks at 174 place. As for Monash, it ranks at the 48th place. Well, obviously, if it's based on this, I would want to go to Monash. But it's more expensive than the latter at a whooping RM10k. My mum said she doesn't mind, as long as I get quality education. But some part of me hesitate and says I should not burden my parents too much. I really feel guilty.

Oh well, it's the same old thing again. Nothing special. Looks like it's going to be a long journey again before i made my FINAL, and I hope this time, it would be a really FINAL, decision.

Anyway, forget education. I'm so tired of having to think about it again. I feel that I'm getting more and more deaf everyday. There was once during an oral test when I mistook "annual festival" for "animal festival". And the problem is, I heard the word "animal festival" for three times during the three times of reading! OMG! Then, there's another day when I asked my friend why he wouldn't want to go to KL for his studies. And he said, "The security there's not good. Furthermore, you think I'm very obedient ah?". And what I heard was this, "The security there's not good. Futhermore, you think I got no one million dollar ah?". And I thought he was boasting about how rich he was and that is why he would rather go overseas than go to KL for his studies. Sensing that something is not right, I "ha?" for a few times. And he answered me three times again and I heard the same thing again! Oh my gosh! What's happening to my ears?! I don't put headphones on my ears, I don't clean my ears regularly (for fear of damaging my ear drums) and I don't club. So why is this happening to me? Oh no! Please! I'm just 19! I still want to listen to Avril's songs! And I want to listen to gossips and 38 38 with others! OMG!

Some ah paks just never learn...

I had Econs paper today and next Tuesday will be the last paper- Accounting! Yippie! Econs was so-so. In fact, I was really surprised when I saw that there were only 3 questions instead of 5 like we normally have in school. I even double checked the paper to see if there are some missing parts. Anyway, I'm starting to feel like my results are in jeopardy! Because of what?! Who else? The dopey, old, baldy, oh-so-irritating ah pak invigilator la!

I still remember very clearly on day one when we had English, he specifically told me that I do not have to fill anything in the small box in the cover page of the answer sheets when I asked him. And that is what I did for my three following papers. I didn't fill in any 'Part A' or 'Part B' in the box. And today, another invigilator who collected the paper asked me why I didn't fill in anything in the box for today's Econs paper. I was really surprised and I told him I didn't fill in anything in that section for all my previous papers. And he said, "Aiya.... Donno la. I cannot do anything." This is just so freaking shitty!

If I really fail all of my papers just because I didn't write any Part A or Part B in that stupid little box in front, I'm so going to screw that ah pak. Huh. He even had the audacity to ask me to send in college applications via him during the end of the exam. He even asked me to remember to bring all the forms and RM 200 for the application. I wonder how much commission he gets from this. Personally, I would rather send in the application myself after what he has done to me. *Grrrr.... I'll sue him till his mum doesn't recognise him if I fail my SAM.* But he said that if we apply through him, there will be a RM100 rebate. So... hmmm... should I apply through him? Should I stand on my principles? Or should I bow down to money? Or should I just call Mr Teoh and ask him to help me to apply everything?

Aihhh... This ah pak should never have become an invigilator. He should infact go back to his kampung to tanam rumput or rambutan. Invigilating is just so not his forte. I wonder why the CEO hires him as an invigilator. Is it because the CEO is so mesmerized by his 'manly 6 pack abs'? *gasp* Or is it because they have some kind of 'relationship that cannot be seen under the light'? I just wonder...

Some insights about politics

I just got back from school and finished the Maths paper. It was ok, considering I'm so bad in Maths. It's worth all the calculating and studying! Haha.

Anyway, when I was en route to school this morning, I listened to hitz.fm and there was a hype about Barack Obama wining the presidential election. They even aired this so-american-background-music and a short part of he speech. Hmmmm... maybe it's just me, but I think that Malaysians over-reacted in this case. I know, it's a big deal, since he's going to be the president of such a powerful nation. But, come on la... Your own country also you cannot gau dim and you are now like mengagung-agungkan people's president. Ish. I just don't know how to describe it in words.

Even one day before the election when I watched the news on TV, there was this segment on who do Malaysians want the president to be. And as expected, most of them answered 'Obama'. And one even said, and I quote, "I think I would like to see Obama win. He is very honest, generous, and he is such a good leader. I think he is also very responsible, hardworking... yada...yada...". I mean, hello? Are you sleeping underneath his bed? How come you know so much about him? Or you guys have some sort of relationship ah? Weird.

Anyway, perhaps it's a good start as well for them to have the first coloured president. This shows that democracy has really taken place, unlike here at home, where I am given no choice to decide on how much pocket money I get each month! Grrrrrr!!!

Can you spot the difference?

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 12:53:00 +0000

Can you see what's different on my blog today? Those who spot it right will get..... NOTHING! Muahahahaha! And I feel that I'm so computer illiterate right now. It took me about a few hours to realise where i should actually paste all those codes in the template. And the picture of this C-box thingy keeps on appearing in each of my new posts and that's why I have to delete the picture of the C-box everytime I start a new post. Is this normal? Any idea how I can stop it from re-appearing in every new post I start?

Insomnia

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 20:10:00 +0000

People should really stop sleeping early. I mean, I have a lot of these kind of encounters before.

Since tomorrow is my finals, I decided to sleep EARLY tonoght and that's why I slept at around 8.45 pm.

Manatau, I suddenly woke up at 1.15 am and could no longer sleep anymore. Grrr.... So here I am, typing and typing and typing. Haiz. Perhaps it's God's signal for me that I should practise writing more since tomorrow's exam is for English.

Anyway, I don't know why I can wake up just so easily nowadays. Like for example, even when my mum's wiping the dishes that have already been wash, I can wake up. When my father sneeze outside the room, I can wake up. When my neighbour is farting next door, I can wake up. Okay, this one is exagerated. Haha. Anyway, there is another thing that really makes me wake up and unable to sleep for like another few hours. I don't know why but whenever I pick up my cell phone just for like a few minute, dang! My brain would be like very active for a few hours and I could no longer sleep. I think my cell phone hates me. It would just make me have headaches for hours even if I only use my cell phone for about ten minutes. Maybe I should seriously consider using pigeons.

Hmmphh... I should give sleeping a try now. Off to bed. Tata. Wish me luck- in sleeping!

I'm dead

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 20:22:00 +0000

Arghhhh! I'm screwed. I should be sleeping by now as it's already 4.21 am. Even if I'm not sleeping, I should at least be studying for my finals. Instead, what am I doing now? I end up googling about degree courses and colleges. I thought I have made up my mind studying journalism or mass com. But somehow after watching the stupid Cornetto Love Perhaps show, I changed my mind. Ahhh! Pardon me for my words, but how could some stupid, slutty, hookerish whore just mess up my mind like this?! I'm so easily influenced! And I find this kind of reality show stupid and doltish even though I 'accidentally' watch it myself but this doesn't make me dumb because this is going to be the first and the last time I'm watching Cornetto Love Perhaps.

Anyway, some Malaysian TV producers are like copycats. Even if you want to be a copycat, do it with creativity so that at least you can hold your head up high with a certain degree of dignity! For example, the US version of The Apprentice is translated into our Malaysian version of The Firm which I immediately switched off after the first five minutes of watching it. Ah! Crap! Another one is the America's Next Top Model which is translated into our homegrown show 'I Wanna Be a Model.' Double crap! But of course there are certain good ones though. For example, the Malaysian version of Malaysian Idol which just stopped like that after season 2 and also So You Think You Can Dance Malaysia which I totally adore. So, this would do some justice for them, not all are that bad.

Anyway, I've been doing a lot of thinking recently. What am I really good at? The more I think of it, I can only think of the three things that I do best and better than anyone can do which is eat, sleep and watch TV. Huh. I'm pathetic.

Now I have listed down a few other things that I think I MIGHT be able to do well as well. Please correct me if you have different ideas. Well, here's the list.

1. Writing---(Degree in Journalism)
2. Designing all sort of stuff---(Degree in Graphic Design and Multimedia)
3. Presenting on stage---(I don't know if there's a degree for this but a Degree in Law perhaps?)
4. Economics---(It so happens that I kinda like Economics a lil bit so a Degree in Econs?)
5. *Please suggest some for me. I'm running out of ideas.

But above all these, I also worry about the prospects of these degrees. If I do journalism, will I have enough salary every month or do I have to survive on cucumbers every month? Will I have the same fate as the journalist who was held under ISA recently?

If I do graphic design and multimedia, arghhhh.... even worse. Will I be surviving on my own faeces then? And what if there's suddenly a blackout and I do not get to save all my work and I got fired? *Gasp* Or what if they fire me for negligence of duty for big, massive, multimillionaire projects? Hehe, for extreme cases of course.

If I do law, can I find a job? And can I pass the forever-hard-to-pass CLP? Or will I lose every court case that I handle or would I have to be the devil of love cupid for having to handle people's divorce? Worse case scenario, I might even have to beg people to divorce every day so that I can have at least some business.

If I do economics, where does it even put me in the society? Sounds grand, but I do not want to end up teaching Economics in Sung Siew or IS or even Sunway when I graduate. I can imagine fellow Sung Siew-ians whispering "Ooooo... That's the teacher who studied Economics and is teaching us because she couldn't find a job. How else would it make me different from Mr. _ _ _- _ _ _ _- _ _ _ and Mr _ _ _ _ _ _. Names are blanked for privacy reasons and also so that I will not be sued for defamation. Anyway, don't speculate too much. It doesn't really matter.

Now another reason why my wrinkles are emerging on my face is which college to choose?

1. Curtin, Miri---(I'm afraid before I graduate I'll be sitting on the wheel chair due to excessive boredom)

2. HELP---(The name sounds like "Help! Help!". Anyway, the main reason is because I do not know what to study there.)

3. UTAR---(Hmmpphhh... It's just so UTAR. I mean, hellooooooo? Kampar? Though there are a lot of good food there and of course, they accept SAM for graphic design unlike others who only accept their own foundation... So, hmppphhh....)

4. Taylors---(Quality assured, definitely. But your pocket must also be 'money-assured'. What if there are too many rich kids there until wherever I go in the college I can only see diamonds and gold flashing on their body? Bad for my eye sight.)

5. UCSI---(I don't know about the quality but I only know that they will help us to arrange for internships. But UCSI sounds so UCSI. And so far, I have never heard of anyone going there.)

6. KDU---(Have thought of it before but I found some very disturbing comments from KDU students on the internet so...AND! Murdoch University! I do not want to graduate from the same uni as Miss _ _ _ _ _ from IS.)

7. UMS---(Ahhhhhh.... BEST place on earth to be. But sorry, I know you don't accept SAM. So, lucky me! Muahahahahahaha.)

Hmpphh... Lord! Please help! Send me some signals on where and what I should do. Like if you think graphic design is for me, then maybe send me some signals like I when I pass motion, I can come out with a beautiful sculpted shit without even any effort.

Or if you think journalism is for me, then maybe send me some signals like my pen runs out of ink tomorrow.

Or if you think law is for me, then... maybe try and make Karpal Singh mention my name in the court room in any of his cases tomorrow.

Or if you think economics is for me, then perhaps you can signal me by crashing the whole Dow Jones or KLSE tomorrow.

Please!!!!

Another TRIBUTE to ANDREW CHUNG CHIN VUI!!!!

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 17:29:00 +0000

Actually this is not what I intended to write but I was 'forced' to thank ANDREW CHUNG CHIN VUI in my own blog. Haha. Hmm... well let me describe what happened.

I went online and this person suddenly started nudging and 'yo-yo'-ing me. So I asked him if he has anything to say to me and he didn't reply me. Arghhh. Then I had to restart my PC again when the internet is disconnected.

Then on the second time when I went online. He talked, talked and talked for so long until...

CCV: I have something to say to you.
Grace: Tell! Tell! *Anticipating for a birthday wish*
CCV: Oh I read your blog and read about the... One Borneo... bla... bloooo
Grace: You don't have anything to say again meh?
CCV: No oh.
Grace: Haiz. 'Mou leong sam'. I go lo.
CCV: Ah ok la ok la. I remember ba. Happy Birthday! Then starting from next year there will be two big candles on your cake lo.
Grace: Swt. I don't know if I should laugh or not laugh at this wish ah.

Then it went on and on until he reminds me again how he used so much of his brain in order to 'create' this 'special' birthday wish and that i need to thank him again. And so, THANK YOU ANDREW CHUNG CHIN VUI i/c number 891110-12-xxxx. Muahahahahaha. I don't know the numbers behind and I just know the front numbers because he deliberately 'forced' me to remember his birthday which is next month. Oooooo I just love the feel of bold-ing people's name. Gah!

Hehe. But anyway, thanks for those who sms-ed and greeted via MSN, FB and FS. Hehe appreciate it very much. Especially the one from Indonesia! Woooooo hooooooo!

My TRIBUTE to the Maths that I HEART so much

cwygrac3@hotmail.com (gRace Z) — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:33:00 +0000

I've been studying Maths for the past few hours and I've come down to a few conclusions.

Maths is like so FUN! I mean, you get to see all the numbers that I absolutely LOVE so much and I get to see number 1 line up to number 9 all in one question. Ooooo..... The thought of numbers just makes me DROOL. It’s better than any sight of food or men. They are like this cute little creatures that make us keep on counting and would not want to lose sight of them because they are like so PRECIOUS and we keep counting them until our brain go through a spasmodic contraction of muscles and despite of the pain that it brings, we still keep on counting and counting and counting and this totally proves my theory of how much we do not want to lose them.

I really need to THANK the person who found out about the existence of Maths as he, which I’m very sure that it’s a HE, has brought so much HAPPINESS and JOY to my life. Oooooo…. I just can’t imagine a day without Maths. My life would be like totally meaningless and full of sorrow. It’s even more fun than watching ANTM or Project Runway and even porn! People should now try doing more Maths instead of doing more sex. Not only that it reduces sound pollution and also the seismic activities of the earth's tectonic plates but it’s also healthier and it just stimulates you so much that you can just laugh alone at the sight of the questions. All you have to do is use your hands instead of your whole body as opposed to the latter. So isn’t it less tiring?

OMG Maths just intrigues me so much. Even as I’m typing now, the sight of Maths keeps on flashing in my mind and it’s even more fun than thinking of MM. Oohhhh I just can’t stand it. I must do Maths now. I’m like so addicted and I can hear it calling me! I’m going to make Maths my official spouse now. Till death do us apart!

*Roll eyes and puke till my dinner last night comes out.
