the 4th of june marked my 100th day of working. and i can't even answer the question "what do you do?" :)

i finally got my earphones and i can finally listen to music in the office. i think i must be the only person in this planet without a mp3 player. but i really find no use for it.

listening to phantom planet's california is nostalgic. the o.c.was uni life. we used to watch it together during dinners. we would bitch about it in class. summer and seth were so cute.

i haven't blogged for a long long time. i'm going to london (and manchester) soon.

Have you been following the news lately? On the 7th of May,

Maybank Bhd. one of the two banks which had introduced a regulation requiring Bumiputera legal firms' involvement before any business may be conducted with it, will review it’s decision.
It was reported that the new regulations would require law firms to have a minimum of three partners, of whom one must be Bumiputera with a minimum 50 per cent stake in the firm.

Langkah dua bank terkemuka yang meletakkan syarat pembabitan Bumiputera dalam firma guaman yang menjalankan perkhidmatan dengan mereka perlu dipuji dan jangan dipersoalkan mana-mana pihak kerana ia mampu membantu melahirkan Masyarakat Perdagangan dan Perindustrian Bumiputera (MPPB).

On the 9th,

Maybank has come under fire from MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek for its requirement to law firms that it must have at least three bumiputra partners, one of whom must have a 50% stake, before these firms can do any business with the bank.
Describing the move as discriminatory, he said many Malaysians had expressed their disappointment with the bank for its decision. "On one hand, we are talking about racial integration but on the other hand; we are adopting such positions which are racial in nature,” he said.

On the 10th,

The Cabinet has ordered the country’s largest bank, Maybank, to withdraw its requirement that law firms must have a bumiputra partner with at least a 50% stake before they could do any business with the bank.

Today,

Ahli-ahli ekonomi, peguam dan tokoh politik Melayu hari ini meminta kerajaan mepertahankan tindakan Maybank mengenakan syarat pemilihan 50 peratus kepentingan bumiputera dalam firma-firma guaman yang mahu menjadi panel bank tersebut.
Mereka berpendapat, langkah Maybank - bank perdagangan terbesar negara - memperkenalkan dasar baru berkaitan firma-firma guaman adalah selari dengan polisi kerajaan untuk mengagihkan secara adil kekayaan negara, khususnya kepada kaum Bumiputera yang masih jauh ketinggalan dalam bidang ekonomi berbanding kaum lain.

Persatuan Peguam Muslim Malaysia (PPMM) dan beberapa firma guaman Bumiputera mengaku begitu sukar untuk disenaraikan sebagai panel bank atau syarikat perumahan yang dimiliki bukan Bumiputera. Sehubungan itu, mereka berpendapat tidak salah jika ada bank menetapkan kuota ekuiti Bumiputera bagi mana-mana firma guaman yang mahu menjadi panel seperti dilakukan Maybank.

Meanwhile earlier,

The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry also criticised the move, saying it prevented businesses from operating freely; while Bar Council chairman Ambiga Sreenevasan said all lawyers should be judged on their merit and that the council would be writing to Bank Negara on the matter.

i'm bored... :P

23 years and one month

2007-02-09T14:19:00.000+08:00

its been one month since my birthday and one month since i started work. and i just finished reading my new book. don't know if they are both related. now i feel sleepy every time i get out of bed and i never get enough sleep. don't see any work-life balance at all...

this morning i got the shock of my life. i saw the front page of the star and i see snow at buckingham palace. dammit. only snows when i leave.

life's boring but this month i get my pay early because of chinese new year. gong xi fa chai!

blogging at work

2007-01-17T08:19:00.000+08:00

it's 10 more minutes till i officially start work. been working for two weeks now. all i can say is, i can't wait for payday. my first payday!

apart from that, nothing's been up. i got two shirts and two sets of cufflinks for my birthday from friends in uk. i just had to say it. i was just so excited to get presents and also very touched that they bothered sending it all the way. you know you guys didn't have to, but thanks alot anyways.

the internet connection still hasn't gone back the pre-earthquake days. and with work, i'm missing out on my "tv". nowadays, all i do is look forward to weekends. and even then, it passes by so quickly. working sucks.

actually it's not that bad. the people are nice, the work is alright, but working in general isn't fun. so whoever's free, come and find me for lunch on fridays!

drink and be merry

2006-12-28T06:12:00.000+08:00

i've heard it about three times the past week. am i really that different when i drink? am i that boring?

have you heard the recent public service announcements on the radio? the "you can socialise without alcohol" really cracked me up and i wasn't the only one that found it funny. are we really a bunch of alkies?

i haven't been drinking much lately and it's the holiday season. not happy la. but then again, there's still a few more days to the new year...

finally, a badminton gold

2006-12-10T03:54:00.000+08:00

a snippet from an article i found.

Recently Malaysians have found themselves caught in the hype of blogging. But they are a confused bunch of nitwits. Except for the minority like [Kenny Sia], most Malaysians end up putting 354651654 pictures of themselves in their "blogs", with lameass captions like "This is a picture of me in case you've forgotten how i look like <3", "This is me and my new hair cut" or the ever popular "Me and my honey!!!MWWWWWAAAAH <3<3<3"

[p.s. yeah, the title's totally unrelated]

how now brown cow? i'm gonna find out the results of my interview soon. and what's worse is that my mom won't let me just wait, i have to call in to find out. what if i didn't get it? what will i do then? what's left for me to do? where will i find a job? the new year's coming and i haven't even gotten a job yet. that's more than half a year leeching of my savings and my parents. what if i can't do what i think i want to do? do i know what i want to do? no. no i don't. how? why won't someone just employ me? why can't i just pass one simple interview? instead i get freaked out whenever i'm in the seat. i wonder if i'll be employed before i turn 23. the thought just came to my mind. shit.

from the frog under the shell

2006-11-29T16:46:00.000+08:00

i didn't really want to post. i'm afraid i'd get too emo. short update: went for interview number three, failing this would mean the dumpster, not too thrilled to know that most have already started working, or that i've no clue what i'm going to do with myself.

it's going to be december. so fast time has passed while i've achieved nothing. i've missed people. but most of the time i feel kinda anti-social. so forgive me.

i definitely can't wait to see those coming back for christmas. will i be getting christmas presents? haha. no, i don't really mean it, but i don't mind it either.

a lil entertainment for those who follow epl. it really cracked me up.

look ma! i'm a celebrity

2006-10-27T16:49:00.000+08:00

this is mostly for the LSE people. you other fellers might not get it. you guys gotta check it out when you got the time.

2006-10-20T04:24:00.000+08:00

i've just migrated to the new beta version. so now i've got something to occupy myself with. i'll post more when i'm happy with the changes.

friday the 13th

2006-10-14T07:01:00.000+08:00

ain't got no scary stories to tell here. actually, ain't got not stories to tell, period.

just wanted to wish the bestest housemates that anyone could wish for happy birthday. so happy birthday to lisa and yin tse. couldn't celebrate with you guys but i hope you girls had a very special day.

more when i get some news or inspiration. laterz.

long overdue

2006-10-01T02:46:00.000+08:00

oops. i've been putting this off too long but finally i've taken pictures of my new car.

i was excited over the fact that i'd have a new car. wasn't too excited when i first got it though. i'm sure most of you know why.

yes, it had a huge exhaust pipe but no, you couldn't fit your head in it. it was noisy too. but it didn't stop there.

even the overhead light in the car was changed to some round flourescent one. but too bad i changed it back. ooh..there's one more shiny thing.

i can even use it as a mirror! i forgot the show you guys the rims but who cares. these are the more interesting bits.

onto other things... i'm still unemployed. now waiting for my second interview cause i failed the first one. well, i didn't really want that department but now i'm freaked out that i might not get this and then i'll be ditched! *sigh* i just hate interviews, so sorry to anyone for ranting.

the bottomline is...

p.s. i forgot to mention that there's lil blue lights too. i don't know what you call those, but you get the idea, right? blue blinking lights...

p.p.s. why does the time on all of my posts change when i change the time format? can't i just change the time format of the recent posts so that my older posts remain in london time and the new ones remain in kl time, apart from doing it manually? any tips?

time goes by so slowly

2006-09-06T01:47:00.000+08:00

bored!

the first month was the bestest time of my life. and now that everyone is gone i'm feeling bored. i guess it's also because i have not started work yet. haven't gotten the all important phone call. honestly, i'm afraid of it. because i have to interview with them and so far, all my interviews sucked. i did pass one, but that was for a part-time job.

so just to let you in on what i've been doing... i go to sleep whenever i like. if i'm not out i'm usually watching tv. and i don't get out much. the reason i don't come online so often is cause my bro hogs the comp most of the time and also cause to catch the uk folks i have to be up super early. and i finally got a suit. kinda.

i really got nothing to write. got pictures la. here are all the redang pics so happy downloading. hope you guys are having fun in college/work.

redang

2006-08-22T18:46:00.000+08:00

i thought this shot looks cool (it's not that i think i look great). it looks like it would make the basket, if i were playing basketball. kudos to the photographer. i'll put more photos up when i get them. only if they make me look good.

you can't always get what you want

2006-08-20T13:52:00.000+08:00

i want to blog, but i can't really.

i want to be able to have someone to tell every single thing to, but i can't bring myself to be that vulnerable.

i want to be able to idle away, but i have to get working.

i don't want the holidays to end.

i don't want my friends to leave just yet.

i want to be living on my own again.

i want to get to know some people better.

i want to keep in touch with old friends.

i want to live a totally reckless night, but my upbringing gets the better of me.

i want to know the truth.

i want but i don't want to give.

i want...

confessions

2006-08-15T02:30:00.000+08:00

hello. my name is huizers and i'm an alcoholic. it all started after my final finals. i've been doing (mostly) nothing but going out with my friends and now, i'm addicted to the lifestyle. a lifestyle is a terrible thing to waste.

nah. i'm not really. i'm just bored... and as usual i must talk even if i have nothing to say. anyone, gimme pics of redang (or a drink)!

the strokes rock!

p.s. and so does liverpool.

p.p.s. actually i do have things to say. i went snorkelling, once, in the three days i was there. i was drinking even more times than that. but then, i get seasick easily. played lots of 20 questions, but then never won once.

apart from the trip, i've been enjoying my new astro. watching stupid chinese serials. i think if i can watch this, i should watch the o.c. next season.

i'm obsessed with the polo tee. i can't find a decent polo that i like.

lastly, i think that lack of sleep, boredom and alcohol all have the same effect on me. so err... i'm not drunk.

my parents have arrived so that's as close as the end of my holidays here. going off to edinburgh soon. results also coming soon. then coming back right before graduation. and soon i'll be back home.

no updates. last week was a week for wasting away at home. only uploaded pictures from cornwall. haven't got pics from rome yet. go to my yahoo photos link at the side bar to check it out.

where do they get their energy from?

2006-06-20T07:11:00.000+08:00

i've only got the last couple of days to rest. it's been busy since the day before cornwall. it's been alot of walking, standing, co-driving, drinking and not enough sleep.

living in a house with 12 other people was actually quite fun. there's always someone to watch tv with, someone to cook your meals, wash your dishes, make your coffee and always someone in the bathroom. it was good times.

i think my favourite room in the whole house was the living room, with the tv. i can practically sit there and not move the whole day. especially when we got our very own delivery boy (thanks binks! ). the hilly terrain of the place made me not wanna go out of the house. so much so that i only went to the beach once, and the town, never. i'd choose the world cup over them any day.

i regretted not taking photos of the house. especially the guys room. and the toilet there was super sexy. there was a big jacuzzi with a skylight window. that's why i need pictures, not that good at descriptions.

what else about the trip was memorable? nothing really. it was just the company. i remember that more than wherever we went.

and after that, there was the super awesome black eyed peas concert. i know miss leong is super jealous. i so wished you could've been there too! i've got short clips for you.

this was the best concert i ever went to. the strokes were great cause i love them so much. but even if you don't know any bep songs, you would've enjoyed their concert. the energy was just so amazing! and when they sang pump it, the crowd went wild. my favourite.

there's so much more to tell, i just don't know how to put it down. i'm already feeling bored reading it myself. hopefully, my pictures will speak better for me (when i've got time to upload them).

soon i'll be going off to rome. after that, i've got a long, long, long time to do nothing. what a lovely summer.

it has begun

2006-06-02T13:39:00.000+08:00

i officially celebrated the end of exams by eating a big buffett dinner followed by walking around aimlessly in leceister square before deciding to watch american dreamz and then we walked around aimlessly again trying to find an open pub on a wednesday night before deciding to head home to stay up all night talking while waiting for the shops to reopen so that we could go eat, but before breakfast we had to go all the way back to rusell square to collect badminton racquets so that we could play a healthy game of badminton after our (un)healthy breakfast of sausage, bacon and fried egg between two slices of heavily buttered white bread and coffee at shakespeare's head.

was that right? wanted to try making it a super long sentence. so anyways, you get my point. my last holidays of my uni life has begun. it really is sad. as we were walking by lse that night, i really felt a sense of sadness. but that's life. all good things must come to an end.

so what's new? i watched the monaco gp and decided that when i'm rich, i will make a trip there and watch the race from the balcony of my hotel room. and also, we decided that we will start a hedge fund and make millions out of our millions. that's what you get when you get no sleep.

been busy planning for holidays too. mostly looking online for places to stay in edinburgh and rome. i am so going to be broke. i just hope that i have enough money. gonna max my credit card and any other credit line available.

so far plans are :

02-04 June Manchester
07-13 June Cornwall
16 June The Black Eyed Peas at Wembley Arena
21-24 June Rome
10-13 July Edinburgh
11 July Exam Results
14 July Graduation
18 July Red Hot Chili Peppers at Earls Court
22 July Home

that's all folks.

time for rest

2006-05-27T05:02:00.000+08:00

after eight grueling weeks and four papers, it's over. uni life is over. and now i'm just waiting for graduation.

there's been a few good days and many bad days the past two weeks. and the english weather didn't help one bit. i ain't that happy actually. maybe cos i'm the only one. if there were many people around then their euphoria might rub off. but now, i feel uncertain. i wonder how i did. i wonder if i can get what i want.

i think (hope) that i can get a 2:2 for ec210 and ac320, and a 2:1 for ac300 and hopefully scrape a first from ac330. it's the first that i'm worried about. let's see if my predictions come true.

and now...i don't know what to do. my life has no meaning. it always feels this way after exams. or any big project.

i'm gonna start off posting for the heck of it. and then getting as much sleep as i can.

a macro view

2006-05-19T01:40:00.000+08:00

i've always accepted that there will always be someone in the world better than you. but now i think it's time to accept that i'm not as good as i thought i was. i might fail one paper!

some people here are so smart. if they can do so well, why can't i? now i know i'm was not born for that. i just want my first, but now it seems to be getting further out of reach.

whatever anyone says, doesn't change how i feel. everyone's different. yeah yeah. but this is my expectation of myself.

yeah, whatever.

there's only one keano

2006-05-14T12:17:00.000+08:00

so i spent more than 10 hours on the bus, and even less time in manchester just to watch roy keane's testimonial match. do i hear, 'but you're a liverpool fan'? ahhh..who cares. as long as i can tell people that i've been to a football match. plus, liverpool has a very painful and expensive process to buy their tickets. and i don't have family there.

so, highlights include, walking all the way back from old trafford (manchester's not that big, took an hour or so), watching giggs running down the left and doing his magic, learning one chant because that was all i managed to catch from the loud booming voices of thousands of men, and watching a shouting match (hand gestures included) between the celtic and united fans.

but it was cool seeing the whole of manchester filled with drunken celtic fans at every corner. they were either drinking merrily in their pubs, or dancing and singing on the streets. quite a scene. and as our bus crawled slowly through the traffic, they decided that they would strip and start chanting to entertain us. also, as expected, there were more cops than usual. but i wonder why there were two guys dressed as batman and superman.

pictures? i've only got one of the stadium which ain't much anyways. (more here) i was all the way at the highest row of the north west corner. the view was still good, just that i had to wear my glasses to identify the numbers on the shirts. and, as always, i forgot to charge my batteries. gg!

giant replica of keano's jersey

so there's nothing much else to say. i've got exams starting wednesday till the next friday after that. more to come after all my summer adventures.

i've been sitting here for the past couple of hours doing those blog quizzes. so far i've learnt that my japanese name is natsuko ichijo, my porn star name is auntie tata, i should weigh 160lbs, my true love is a cancer, i was an insane priest that lived in north canada and died of the plague in my past life, i'm not a scary person, i'm 50% girlish and 50% boyish, my eyes should (is) brown, and... i should stop.

having problem concentrating. today i spent most of the day sleeping. or was i just trying to sleep because i don't feel that i got much. but i've had three cups of coffee today.

i'm living on an average of two cups. not that it keeps me awake all the time. first cup works, but anything after that it's just to satisfy my cravings.

i've decided i can't do work now. but i have no more time! and i'm moving so slow already. i don't think there's enough time left but the more i feel stressed the less i can achieve. grrr... rant, rant, rant!

another four weeks or so and we are done! and then the partying begins.

my first stupid quiz

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

which is so not true. i think out of all the things they say there, only two i feel have a semblence of truth. do you think i have a flair for the over dramatic? i think i'm more of the other end spectrum.

just got back from the pub. feeling drunk after a pint. strangely. or i just suck at drinking la. someone puked and it wasn't a pretty sight. plus it was super embarassing cause we were at a pub. who gets pissed at a pub?!

so yeah, i don't like it when people puke all over. i feel that if i can keep mine in the toilet bowl, then you won't have to clean after me. so i don't really want to clean after you too. call it calculative or whatever, but it's just... ewww. i literally ran after it came out. all i could do was just stand on the chair and get as far away as possible cause i was stuck right smack in the middle.

so people, drink responsibly. don't drink and drive or puke all over the place.

i've got two more weeks till the start of the exam period and i spent the whole last week doing work that could've been done in two days. stress is just an understatement. although now i try to be positive because i can't work with stress. stress just makes me work less. so two more weeks to go.

my first post under influence. woo hoo!

if i could sleep forever

2006-04-20T11:29:00.000+08:00

i'm up when i don't want to. i sleep when i can't help it. i think my days wouldn't be so screwed up if i could actually fall asleep when i want to and not waste hours in limbo trying to fall asleep. times like these when every minute counts, inefficiencies like now kill me. they piss me off.

i'm in a redhotchilipeppers phase now. the flavour of the month. i'm a fan because of their music. but more so because i feel 'touched' by their lives (can't find a better word). with all the shit they went through and their great passion for their music. when you want/love something bad...it shows. can't wait to see them.

our dear friend binks is going to come back to london today. not that i was entirely lost in his absence but it just marks the end of easter holidays. five long weeks of studying and the occasional birthday celebration (three to be exact!). don't feel like i've achieved much. this year is certainly different. there's more material and less motivation. maybe i just don't want it to end, and this is my subconcious way of acting it out. either way i'm screwed.

i have no after exam plans yet. i kinda hate planning. even though i rather not study, i still rather not plan. i hope we get to do something. i hope someone will plan something and include me. all i've done so far is my acquiring a couple of bottles to celebrate.

three more weeks of class and then the last school exam. school. i'm gonna miss school (and proffesional exams don't count). i'm gonna miss lectures the lectures. going in and just sleeping. or chatting and getting dirty looks for it. being the back benchers. good times my friend.

have you guys been over to lisa's? just thought i should document her recent additions.

Q: Two fish were in a tank, what did one say to the other?

i can't read

2006-04-11T07:39:00.000+08:00

it's funny how i get spurts of productivity followed by long slumps. now i can't read.

"i can't read."

for those 5 jati students, it still cracks me up when i think about it. honest.

i moved my computer back to my table. "where else has it been?" you ask. it's been at my bedside for the past few months. since the weather got colder it's been too cold to sit at my desk to do any work. so i decided that if i sit at my desk no work would be done. so then i moved my computer next to my bed so i could be warm under my duvet. so now it's back where it belongs.

this time next year, everyone will be working. i wonder if we'll still blog? i guess it's still a form of keeping in touch. damn, i'll be out of the loop with all the gossip here. gotta find a reliable source.

bored!

empty days

2006-04-09T06:19:00.000+08:00

warning : the content below may cause drowsiness. do not read if you are operating heavy machinery.

i'll refrain myself from bitching bout studying. honestly, it's all i can think of right now. not that i study all the time... i never learn.

there's not much to tell when you're sitting at home all day. i just can't get myself up to go to school. whenever i don't plan it, i wake up "earlier". whenever i plan to wake up, i never do (on time).

and when i say i got weird sleeping hours. i mean it. the pattern usually holds for 2 days, then it's broken. like first i was sleeping by 3am and waking up around noon. then it went to sleeping at 7 and waking up later. then it went to sleeping in sessions of about four hours each. then it's sleeping really early in the morning and waking up in the evening. i just don't see how i'm gonna adjust for work. this is one thing i'll miss bout student life.

i get crazy cravings for coffee. one cup is not enough anymore. i think i could just drink coffee the whole day. maybe that's why my skin's so dry. mmmmm... coffee...

i spent two hours on apple trailers the other day and now i've got a whole list of movies i wanna watch. these trailers are really decieving. sometimes i see them and i feel that i just absolutely have to watch the movie. then i do, and i feel dissapointed. all that hype for shits. it's sad kay.

i want holidays. i want peach vodka. wonder how that'll taste like.

the funniest people stumble upon my site. i have no idea what they are searching for. i think i got a couple of hits from germany. but i'm not sure. i see german on my tag-board. or at least i think it is. at least i have no one searching for porn yet. i might now.

as you can see i'm just rambling on. don't say i didn't warn you.

one is the loneliest number

2006-03-28T09:34:00.000+08:00

yes i am but that's besides the point. i'm looking for that song which appeared on one episode of house. and also this song that appeared on the last episode of the o.c., lover i don't have to love.

today has been a unproductive day. won't say it's wasted. having three hours of badminton was fun. but i have come to the conclusion i really suck. my team is always destined to lose.

now i can't study. i've been kept busy by facebook. i think it's the exam season. every few hours i get six emails telling me someone has written on my wall. so distracting.

thanks to my brother i've found the best study companion. i guess everyone has their own studying styles.

yesterday was the start of daylight savings time again. and for the first time i didn't know about. lucky i was forewarned. or else i would've appeared and hour late for my dinner date. but then again, i was late, just that i didn't bother going anymore.

this week's gonna be busy for me. there's new episodes of desperate housewives, the simpsons, the apprentice, house, scrubs and the o.c.

back to reality

2006-03-25T00:24:00.000+08:00

salzburg was so pretty! it was the snow. i guess it would have been pretty in the summer too, but not so magical. i think people would be annoyed at us. we said "so pretty" at least a hundred times in those two days. vienna was the big city, so no snow. not so pretty.

the trip was great. it just felt so relaxing in those few days. it could be because it was the end of school or just because we managed to escape from studying for a few days. the food was great, the locals were friendly and the company could not get any better.

i loved the food. i guess it's not hard to like deep fried food. i don't really understand why their seafood is so popular. we saw it everywhere and just couldn't resist. starting from the top, viennesse breakfast (rolls with jam and honey plus a hard half boiled egg), pretzels, weiner schnitzel with chips, white beer, fishcake on a roll, huge ass weiner schnitzel with a huge ass serving of potatoes and a piece of alaska-something fish with a side of thai noodles. i love the pics of the food.

there were cool shops too. there was a row of shops that sold the most beautifully painted easter eggs. every single one of them decorated so delicately. they had great baubles for christmas trees too. and there was some very interesting china too.

and now i'm home and i've finished playing with the hundreds of pictures. it's time to get down to some serious work.

i can never get a post right on the first try. i forgot to tell you all bout this song i'm obsessed about. slow motion by third eye blind. check it out, just 'cos of the lyrics.

hard work pays off

2006-03-18T03:09:00.000+08:00

you know those 2p machines you find in london. anyone who's ever been here must've seen them. it's a uk thing i think. they're loads of fun! i just found that out. i always wondered why people play that. was it for the money or for the prize. 'cos it just looks impossible to win. but today we got those two (bad photo skills) with just a modest capital of 70 coins.

that stupid game is actually quite exciting. you hold your breath as you wait for the coins to push further forward. then when the toy drops. whee! yeah, i'm easily amused. and yeah, we got a lot of time on our hands...

... 'cos it's the holidays again! but it's the bad kinda holiday. it's the you've gotta really work your ass off kinda holiday. which is the worst time of year. i finish my exams on the 26th of may. super super early. but not like i can go home any earlier.

i wish i could. but i would only if i needed to come back here again. spending more time here isn't going to be nice. although i sure as hell gonna miss this place, it's more because of the people than the actual place. but then everyone will be gone and i'll be here to stay on on my own. and not making sense. *sniff*

so anyways... i'm starting the holidays off with a trip to austria and then it's back for 8 weeks of hardcore studying. i'm such a pig this year. i feel less motivated than ever. *sigh*

a note, i think the 2000th person to visit here is ms. leong again. hmm...

six questions

2006-03-01T10:07:00.000+08:00

why does it always rain one me?

who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?

what makes the world go round?

how's it gonna be?

where do we go from here?

when did it start?

it was... awesome

2006-02-23T09:25:00.000+08:00

(note to self: songs played in no particular order, take it or leave it, soma, someday, last nite, new york city cops, trying your luck, hard to explain, barely legal, the modern age, reptilia, 12:51, whatever happened, the way it is, i can't win, the end has no end, hawaii, juicebox, ask me anything, razorblade, ize of the world, heart in a cage, vision of division, red light. the strokes 17/2/06)

how else could it have turned out? could've been better... there were some times i felt like jumping up and down, but we were in the seated area. seated. actually, standing in the seated area, but still no jumping.

and i wished i bloody checked my camera batteries. bloody hell. this ain't the first time. so i didn't get nice pics. got horrible pics. but then no photo editor, so can't make them at least mediocre. plus, i'm just too lazy...and no one really cares.

got a shirt though. could post that up. *goes and does just that*

front

back

voila. my hand shakes too much. why? am i weak? is it something neurological? i just can't hold still for two seconds. (in case you were curious, the five on the back are nick, nikolai, julian, fab and albert)

i wanna revamp the site. if only i knew how. actually, i just wanna change it so it'll look more personal and not so "template". i don't know how to put it. but i find i'm just too lazy to do even that these days. it's no more doing anything but what i am supposed to do. it's just sleep now. sleep then wake up in the middle of the night unable to sleep. so toss and turn trying to get to sleep. it's sleep, sleep, sleep.

that's my post quota for the next few weeks. it's getting boring.

parting question : why do i conform in sometimes? but then can't stand conforming at others? is it just me?

oops. one more thing. promo time, not like putting it here is gonna get more publicity. but just for thisguy. here's to making dreams come true. don't forget to send me the vcd.

gig freak

2006-02-18T00:13:00.000+08:00

tonight's the night! and i'm busying "studying".

it's the strokes tonight and i'm trying to remember the lyrics so i can sing along. i'm excited! can't wait! it's gonna be so energetic and i just know it. too bad i didn't start studying earlier.

i've got rhcp to look forward to in summer. so excited for that too. but wished i had got more tickets. i just think i think too much and after all that thinking i end up regretting.

i know i'm not making much sense. but yay! the strokes! thanks so much guys. all 16 of you.

and a happy birthday to mr. goodie too. take care of that liver of yours. hope you had fun.

i love spoofs

2006-02-10T06:41:00.000+08:00

i tried putting this video on this page but then when i tried it out, it wouldn't stop playing. so i didn't want to annoy the hell out of people, cos i know i will be.hence the link. here.

i <3 ipod.

a different rut

2006-02-06T10:19:00.000+08:00

this is usually the time of year where i feel life is just the same old routine week after week. but this year it's slightly different. i'm not feeling great, just that the stress is a different kinda stress. the day has finally come to decide what to do with my life.

actually, there is a path forged out ahead of me. as i have all this while, i could just follow it and quit whining. but what do i really want? i don't know. i want everything and nothing.

i hate the question where do you see yourself in five years time? is there really a point to it? are they looking for commitment? obviously everyone's gonna lie. i'd just rather live one day at a time. just take things as they come. but i can't. i haven't even started the first step and i'm worrying bout the 100th one.

i'm whiny... i'm depressed. it's really a part of my life i don't want to end. i was aware of this fact two years ago and i still can't live with it. what will happen? will anyone remember me? will i bother to keep in touch? i'm anti-social but i can't stand being left out.

why do some people embrace this change so much. is there really so much to look forward to when you hold a 9-5? they love it so much that they had to get a taste of it right after school. but i've been putting it off until now. sad thing is, i can't get a part-time job in malaysia anymore. unless i wanna be a bum with a degree.

i'm just pms-ing.

[p.s. why does my hit counter keep going up but no new messages? say hi or something... i miss you.]

get ready to be stuffed

2006-01-27T10:39:00.000+08:00

it's here again! my favourite time of year. chinese new year! woohoo!

i think i'm loving it more now cos i'm thinking of all the delicious food we always get to eat. actually, it's not that great. it's just the same ol' thing year in year out. then leftovers for the next few days to come. but we get to stuff our faces silly. the keropok and the cookies too!

this my third and last year away from home. i miss it. but the good thing is, i still get my ang pow every year. not as much as if i was back home, but good enough for me. this year i'm going over to my bro's and we're gonna try to cook something resembling a reunion dinner. with all the auspicious food, like the fish, the prawns and all the whatnots.

gong hei fatt choy and have fun. may your angpows grow exponentially this year.

p.s. i got my sim card. so now people can finally call me. mail me if i haven't given you my number and if you want it.

on the first anniversary of my 21st birthday

2006-01-20T08:02:00.000+08:00

yeah, i got that from scrubs. so, i celebrated my recent birthday with a bunch of friends. it was good. i don't know if it's just different here or what. but i never could've found 29 other people to celebrate it with me before. yeah, it was good. thanks to lisaleong and mei yen and su yen and whoever, i have no idea who was in it, but thank you.

so we had a malaysia-thai dinner. no drinks. didn't get drunk. just had dinner and talked or whatever i could muster with my sore throat. then i got cakes. two cakes because all the candles couldn't fit on one.

mmm... i liked the chocolate strawberries. then now to show off my presents. i love presents. who doesn't love presents. first, i got a very cute and oh so useful soup dish (plate or whatever). then i got kill bill dvd's. woohoo! and building blocks of paris. a great gift as you get older. no, i'm honest. i also got a soccer chair. which i think is so hilarious. now i just have to find the strength to blow it up. oops...forgot to mention the lovely flowers i got.

and last but not least. the coolest present (not that i didn't like the earlier ones)...

woohoo! i'm going to watch the strokes.

ok, this was all a very boring recap of a very exciting night. i apologise. i guess as time goes by, my enthusiasm faded. i got nothing to tell but still, i wanted to show it off. more here.

so miss leong, i'm not ungrateful. if only you were a lil' more patient.

a few gems from the internet that i would like to share with you guys. firstly, this is really good. things like this they never teach you. but it made me think, is home really the place to be.

and to everyone who went to secondary school with me, you should take a look at this. i love that school, but thank god i'm no more there. seems like rubbish to me. and if she happens to pop by, "thank you debra fong". fumbled onto the site. actually, say koon did.

do you believe in karma?

2006-01-12T07:57:00.000+08:00

been having incredible luck. my sleep has been screwed up because of holidays and also because i was sick, which i shall talk about later. so anyways, i didn't go for lectures the other day because i wanted to sleep. this was a 5-7pm lecture, you know? but when i woke up i found out that the lecture was cancelled, so i didn't skip my lecture after all. i was estatic since it was one of the hardest topics. then today, i find out that the lecture has been rescheduled to fridays... 5-7pm... every week... it's karma i tell you!

then the new year hasn't been particularly good to me either. been kinda sick since then. kicked off the new year with a slight case of elephantitis of my right hand fingers. might not look obvious in the picture but it was huge. now it's shrunken back, but i'm not sure if it's went back to the original size yet.

then as the swelling went down, i had a fever which manifested from a sore throat the night before. so spent the whole day sleeping which lead to not sleeping the night before school started then which lead to me sleeping in for lectures the next day and then not being able to sleep the next day again. see the vicious cycle.

the fever lasted a day, but the sore throat decided to stay a lil longer. until i lost my voice. totally. could only manage to whisper the whole of yesterday. if i even tried to speak it would come out in an awkward and inaudible squeak.

at least i've gotten my voice back and there was something good about the new year. but that's for next time.

once again...

2006-01-02T00:15:00.000+08:00

one more year has slipped by us and another year creeps in. didn't really do much this year. we even missed the countdown. but somehow, it's the company that matters. doing nothing with people is still better than doing nothing alone.

new year came and it was just the four of us. had a gala time trying to open a bottle of champagne. maybe we were ignorant, but i swear you it's not as easy as it looks.

pop it goes!

happy new year everyone! may 2006 bring even more than 2005 or other previous years ever did. somehow i feel, this year will be very different.

my name is...

2005-12-30T00:28:00.000+08:00

the name has stuck. more and more people are calling me that and so now, i've christened myself, huizers. it's stuck and here to stay.

blog readers always ask bloggers to blog more. but what's there to blog about. i remember when i started, it was because i was bored. so you would see me talking crap every two or three times a week. or changing this and that. but now, i'm still bored. just lost the motivation. in other words... lazeeeee!

blog what? there's so many thoughts and opinions that i always think of putting up here. "the deepest thoughts of huizers". then again, who cares. everyone's got opinions like they've got assholes (i've heard that somewhere but i can't quite recall from who). then, everyone who has these opinions think their opinions are the only ones that ring truest and so they go on and on bout how they think they are right and how the other people that think otherwise are idiots. i'm a peaceful person. so to avoid confrontation, i keep my mouth shut. i'm a coward in other words.

so when there's nothing going on, there's nothing to write. i was supposed to put up pictures of my flat, but like opinions, who cares.

so once again, thanks for coming and i'll see you guys in the near future, i hope. meanwhile, tag me!

oh. happy new year too!

from bimbo to corporate woman

2005-12-19T03:11:00.000+08:00

i'm moved on to watchin the apprentice now. it's so exciting. the good thing bout watching shows at the end is not having to wait each week. i just watched 10 episodes in a day. almost back to back. i know, i know. lifeless.

it's such a good show. really keeps you on your toes. so far, i saw three people that i think are really good. i hope they could all win, but too bad, he only hires one.

one thing i noticed is that everyone there is so confident of themselves. actually, that's putting it in a nice way. basically they are just so full of themselves and can never accept that they were wrong or that they just suck. even after they are told thier faults and have been fired, they still can blame other people for their loss. every single loser is like that.

which makes me think. we don't see our faults. we won't actually know what is wrong with us until someone tells us that. so what's my fault? i wish i could be someone else for a day and see that myself. rather than people telling it to me in my face. hurts less. but i really do wonder.

these people in lse. there's this quality in all those who get a job. it's confidence in a way i guess. and motivation. i see it in them but i don't see it in me. certainly not the motivation bit. but some people tell me that i can get it and all i have to do is apply. i just want to see what they see cause i don't see anything at all.

i'm just in a very confused state. i don't know what i want, what i should do. i don't know where i'd rather be in a year's time. i feel that there will be people dissapointed whichever way i go. the most important people. so what do i do? who will be most dissapointed? me?

i don't know which i'm more afraid of. making a life changing decision or not even trying for fear of it.

i'm being dramatic. i've been told i sound hopeless sometimes. i'm glad to know that i can at least express myself on paper. but if i really do sound depressed, you don't have to call me straight away to see if i'm alright. i'm fine. i still have a job. but thanks for the thought.

back to normality

2005-12-13T00:41:00.000+08:00

barcelona

i'm done with malam bakti and i'm back from barcelona. so it's back to the normal quiet a.k.a. boring life.

i just don't know what to do with myself now. holidays have started and for the past few days i've been watching america's next top model and full metal panic 2.

malam bakti went very well. at least that's what people told me. but they can't say it sucked, right? it wasn't perfect but from what i could hear backstage, it was an uproar after the first act. and we sold out! people were standing. woohoo!

still haven't seen it yet. for the first time i didn't watch the actual play. just waiting for the vcd. being backstage also meant no photos. i do have a few from after the play but they all look bad. at least i think i look bad... so i won't show them.

but i'm glad. it was a good experience. and it was fun. feels weird now it's over. but it's all good. i just can't wait to watch it and then show it to everyone.

going to barcelona right after it wasn't a very good idea. when we arrived, we were all zombies. we even went back to the hostel to take a nap before going out for dinner. but the trip was good. a nice break from london, with sun, warm weather and cheaper food. had all the paella and sangria till i was sick of it. actually, it was just the paella i was sick of.

the shopping was addictive. it's not that it's dirt cheap, it's just felt like i had to get something from there since it's the home of zara and mango. so i got some stuff. and to anyone who's planning to ever go there. keep ur belongings close to you. real close. two of my friends lost their purse on the first day. we don't know how, but the pickpockets are really good.

for more pics, go here.

it's here!

2005-12-02T09:59:00.000+08:00

the day is here. it's coming in less than 24 hours and i must say, no matter what i do i can't prepare myself enough. i'm still up trying to prepare somethings but my brain won't work. i know i'm tired, but once i pop my head on that pillow, i'll just start worrying bout this and that.

hope it goes well...if it doesn't. i can console myself in barcelona. heehee.

london is so pretty (when it's not gloomy). i'm gonna miss it...

short and sweet

2005-11-12T11:48:00.000+08:00

been busy. sorry. been neglecting more than just this site. can't sleep. i think it's anxiety. or coffee. tired. worried. not enough time. tried my best to start early. but my scheduling was all wrong. so now i don't have enough time or even resources.

i think i'm too nice. can't quite boss people around. or am i already bossy, just not bossy enough for myself. the producer seems to rely so much on me. which means i'm doing the same thing i did last year, which is wrong cause i'm a DIRECTOR. haha! i bet i sound bossy now.

watched reservoir dogs. that shit's whack! what goes on in tarantino's head when he comes up with these stories? but the ending was amusing. haha. am i sick, or what?

there's so much in my head these days. i'm so scatterbrained. just lost myself money by being so careless. i'm angry at myself. you can't cry over spilt milk, but it still pisses you off.

been neglecting things. sorry i don't write (to you too dreamcatcher). i know i should. hope life's peachy.

my laptop is dying. firstly, it started with the letters coming off. but that was ok, it just didn't look that beautiful. but i was ok with that. it was still my trustly old laptop. then the battery was dying too, but i could always use ac power. but now the wireless is pissing me off. i'm not sure if it's the network card, but i'm pretty sure it's not the router. my other two housemates never had a problem. but now........

i think i have to resort to using a cable. i was just never too fond of it cause it's so messy. but i'm more upset that my laptop is dying! why won't the wireless work properly! =(

my directorial debut

2005-10-26T06:28:00.000+08:00

i wonder if i could start every title with "my ...", like in scrubs. but i can't really keep up with trends.

so, recent updates from london, as if you don't already know, i'm directing a play. actually, co-directing more like it. for those in the know, yeah, it's hard work and i'm crazy to take it on with the added work load of being in third year. but no, i'm not doing it because i feel absolutely confident that i can get a first even if i throw my first term away.

for those who don't know, it's the annual charity play organised by the LSE SU Malaysia Club. it's the one where i was in charge of lighting for the past two years, and the one where i screwed up at in the past two years.

so enough about that and it's time for bitching. third year is crazy! i have never, ever, in my past two years in lse, work so hard in the 4th week of school. i've been working my ass off since 2nd week. there's so much reading to do and homework too. i've got to hand in a 3000 word critique of a paper i can barely understand with a group of 2 other people. firstly, i hate essays. it takes me forever just to get the first paragraph. and secondly, i hate group work. it means having to prepare and meet up and collaborate...

add that with the load of having to put on a play in 5 weeks and the peer pressure of getting a job, you've got a moody me.

freebies galore

2005-10-14T07:21:00.000+08:00

i love careers fairs. apart from the fact that it means i've got some income coming in, i get tons of freebies at the same time. well, last years one was pretty much junk. got alot of highligters, pens, post-it notes, mints, notebooks, key chains and water bottles i never used. but this year, i thought i got pretty cool stuff.

firstly, there's this really cool clock that's got me so amazed. basically it has four functions, a clock plus calendar, alarm, stop clock and thermometer. so, to go to the function you have to turn it to the correct side. like if you want just a clock, you turn it to the side where it says calendar. and when you want to know the temperature, you turn it on it's other side.

the other cool thing i got was this razor holder. it's not really that cool or useful either, but it's cute 'cause it's shaped as a person sitting and folding their arms.

i also got a t-shirt which i can't show you guys 'cause i can't seem to upload the picture. anyways...that's it. apart from that, i've got a couple of useless pens and mints which i really love. arghh! why can't i put up those pictures!?!

almost

2005-10-09T20:11:00.000+08:00

i wanna take pictures of my house and post it up so i can brag about how lovely my house is. but we still have a few guest over and it's still a lil' messy so i've gotta wait. but lisaleong is back and the house was so vibrant with her welcoming party.

things haven't really fallen into a routine yet. for my classes, i've decided to stick with what i decided earlier. sometimes i think i just trouble myself by thinking too much. now my delimma of the week is whether i should be a director for malam bakti. i'm in my last year, my results aren't great and this will take up every night i have in my first term. but then again, i do want to get involved. it feels weird if i don't after two years running...

nothing much to write. i actually really hate writing updates about my life. it's so boring. but then again, this is a place where i keep in touch. i've been meaning to look through all my pictures and put up a pretty collage. but i get distracted by my laptop. i'd rather do nothing than anything.

on another totally unrelated incident, i played basketball today and i was good! haha. it's nice to play after so long. but my stamina was at the worst ever possible and right after the game i'm already aching all over. i love this game!

spoilt for choice

2005-10-04T21:27:00.000+08:00

i've got too many course options. which would be good, if i could decide what i really like to do. mostly, the courses here are not easy. nothing is easy. everyone says everything is tough. well, most people say maths is easy. in the sense that it's either you get it or not. but what if i'm the one that doesn't.

my other choice is econs. which is something i like, but what people tell me is terribly hard to score. not that i need to score, but i want to score.

and not only that, i've already been allocated my class. and i got this teacher that i had last year which i kinda like. plus, he's soothing on the eyes. and i've got a day where i start at 2pm. changing courses would have me waking up at 11am.

so what do i do? go with something more objective or something more subjective? am i a right brain kinda person or a left brain one? help! i hate making decisions like these. decisions that affect your future and decisions where you can't turn back.

how? how? how? whine, whine, whine.

our favourite pastime

2005-10-01T23:32:00.000+08:00

after kat's party we went...

the night before i left we were...

and before lyn left, we also went to breakers to play. just that i don't have pics of that. so that's our favourite pastime.

3-in-1

2005-09-29T18:28:00.000+08:00

nothing to tell so i'll just post up my collection of stupid pictures that i take.

i'm leaving tomorrow. it's been a very short three and a half months and it's gonna be such a long 10 months. thanks to everyone for hanging out with me. although i didn't see that many people.

if you miss me, write to me at 97, Redman Buildings, Bourne Estate, Portpool Lane, London, EC1N 7UD, UNITED KINGDOM. don't forget my birthday too! i may be far away, but you can still send me a present.

lelong

2005-09-22T02:42:00.000+08:00

anyone interested in a xpc barebone? it's a mini pc measuring 30 x 20 x 18.5 cm only! small and easy to move around. includes also a 8-in-1 card reader, firewire and 2 USB 2.0 ports all on the front panel. and err...comes in stylish black. i'm not a techie, so find out more here.

my bro has a spare barebone and is looking to sell it. please contact me if interested.

numbers

2005-09-19T18:25:00.000+08:00

i'm seeing numbers everywhere! but it's not MA100 this time. i've just discovered the amazing game of minesweeper. very addicted now. numbers, numbers, numbers!

firstly, 5 kilos is the amout of weight i've put on in this past few months. even my mom's making fun of me. it's so depressing! i have never put on so much weight before. malaysian food is just too tempting. next time i come home, don't let me eat, people!

then the other day i went bowling, just for fun, and i bowled a 121! yippee! it was my first ever strike. ha! ha! 'geng' onot? feeling so proud of myself.

also, i'm leaving in another 11 days, for another 10 months or so. i've been back for 13 weeks and all i have learnt is how to use my washing machine and iron very efficiently.

lastly, i wish i could be 21 forever. i think i wouldn't mind studying my ass off to sit for exams. i think working is so much worse. sometimes i think it's only me who thinks that way. everyone in LSE seems so eager to join the rat race. plus, i never really got a 21st birthday bash. so i was never felt i was initiated into the club. i think the year after next, i'll have a 21 again bash!

btw, anyone interested to go genting. i know i've said it's a sucky place, but i just wanna go somewhere to chill. prolly going on the 25th. just for a night. to join the silly people sipping coffee in the cold. interested anyone?

road tripping

2005-09-12T03:45:00.000+08:00

spent two hectic days travelling kl-ipoh-penang-ipoh-kl being lisa leong's co-driver. had too much fun and took too little pictures. thanks to all my dears who fed me and drove me around.

[p.s. i've uploaded more photos here and mei yen, send me photos, please!]

and this just came in, this site has had more than 1000 hits! woo hoo! visitor number 1000 was mr/miss 219.95.211.* who came in yesterday. thank you!

a sleepy insomniac makes the most noise

2005-08-18T07:44:00.000+08:00

i'm sleepy but i can't sleep. i'm tired and i wanna sleep, but when i lay don and shut my eyes, i'm wide awake. so many things go through my mind. mostly ideas on how to change this blog.

some people are so talented (like lydia here) or just more knowledgable than ulu me. their websites are like... *wow* ... and these are done in their spare time. i've got tons of spare time on me, but what the hell am i doing? moping around trying to fall asleep and then falling asleep for the rest of the day.

i'm watching malaysia hari ini and they're talking about car washes. do you really need to wash your car enjine?

speaking of which. i miss driving. i love driving my dad's car but i don't do that much. i'm too afraid that something might happen and then i'll be screwed. i really miss my car. i miss the times that i dare drive recklessly. not that i do it much, but enough to get me in a couple of silly accidents. the thrill was more in freaking people out.

that's why i like scary movies too. it's nicer if you go and watch it with someone who's totally terrified. then you can forget about the scary parts and laugh at your scared friend. hehe... no la... it just makes it less scary to watch with other people.

i freak myself out watchin scary movies alone. once i watched gothika in my room with the lights off. halfway through, i had to turn on the lights. how embarassing...

there are no nice movies this summer. it's so upsetting since the only time i go to the movies is when i get back to malaysia. so far all the movies i've watched are just on spur of the moment. all of them i never looked forward to watching, seeing that all of them were action flicks.

another thing i haven't done is buy don't believe the truth. what kinda fan am i? since i am some sorta fan, i'm gonna ask you guys to listen to them. listen to the importance of being idle. it's a great song from noel and also very well sung by him. lyla was shite but this is good shit! my favourite line is 'i can't get a life if my heart's not in it'.

you know, when you don't get enough sleep you can't think properly and then you speak incoherent rubbish. so excuse me.

i am

2005-08-14T07:43:00.000+08:00

as suggested by thisguy, i googled my name. i thought hui yi was a very common name, but only got seven boring hits. except for this one that really cracks me up.

'Asked him to get Hui Yi for me. I specified the house somemore. Later one ger came, say Hui Yi. Fuck, think i newbie or what? Think i dunno Hui Yi ar? But the ger look quite sexy, and boobs look like coming out of her dress, so follow her up the room lor.'

for the record. that's not me!

edit: tried out 'helga is'...

Helga is said to have no home and she moves from place to place. Helga is tragic because of her inability to fit into any group.
Well, it’s official. Helga is the most annoying person on Earth.
Helga is super intelligent and it shows.
We're now selling our smelly underwear, or at lest Helga is.
Helga is bitch! la la la Helga is stupid! la la la Helga is ugly ! la la la Helga is pathetic! la la la Helga is fat! la la la I want to kill you!!!

thank god for rain and bad puns

2005-08-13T02:36:00.000+08:00

ok. i was so happy it was raining and i decided to tell everyone. but now, the rain has stopped. it didn't even last for a minute! damn...

but i still love rain (except the english rain). even more now because of the haze and all. it's the sound and the smell of it. it's so fresh and comforting. especially, when you're cuddled up in bed in the morning and don't have to go to school.

on to other things. has anyone noticed the bad puns in the newspapers, like 'bad air day', or 'haze-rdous'. for me, it's so bad it's funny.

but then again, i don't think i'm creatively lame enough to come up with them. so, from now on, i'm gonna start up a lil side project. come up with lame puns for entry titles! muahaha! so lame...

good day people and pray for rain.

smelly haze

2005-08-10T17:27:00.000+08:00

in front of my house

today, i woke up to the smell of haze. those of you still in london, don't miss malaysia. it isn't the best place in the world right now.

i can't even open my front door for fear of the smell. thus, making my house feel like a sauna. reminds me of summer in london...at least i've got a fan.

i can't even play basketball! haha. nah...i haven't been playing. i miss playing... i wish i could play again.

i hate the smell. low visibility ain't that bad as the smell. it's like living in the temple with all the joss sticks and paper burning.

bah! i'm bored.

finally

2005-07-24T07:26:00.000+08:00

i've been a lazy ass all this while and i haven't put up pictures of ck's party, even though it didn't take long. finally, i've done it, after another sleepless night. if you want better copies, mail me.

oops, here are the photos.

jobless

2005-07-20T07:14:00.000+08:00

i finally realise what i wanna do. i wish i could be a scout again. then i can go to school and teach the lil' kids how to tie knots and how to march and how to start a fire and how to sing songs. lil' kids at that age i can handle. plus, it'll be easy with very little commitment but still looks good on paper 'cos you're helping the community. but there's no such thing for me.

apart from that, i don't know what i wanna do. anyone wanna offer me a job? something on a project base. something for a very short time and very lil' effort and lotsa cash! haha...dream on!

i'm almost halfway through my holidays. graduation is over, internships are almost over or only just begun, soon, everyone would've accomplished their summer dreams. this is our last summer, and it's flashing right before me eyes. you know, they always say your student days are the best days of your life. deep down i always knew that but i've never really felt it, till now...

tough luck

2005-07-14T06:22:00.000+08:00

i'm so sad now. i'm so upset at myself. why didn't i think properly? why didn't i bother? why was i so confident?!? well, what's done is done and now i have to live with it...

on the other hand, i went to penang for the weekend... with koon's family. it's weird. i've got nothing against them, it's just feels like a big step. well, not really, but it feels that way. being so close to his family. and all this while i've been teasing kat.

all the time there i was eating. being really greedy. i think that's all i've ever done since i got back. be greedy and then eat even though i don't feel hungry. i think i've even piled on some pounds... i need control!

i don't get the fuss over penang char kuey teow. to me it tastes exactly the same in kl. the only difference is the big prawns, the self service and the exhorbitant prices. and those supposedly very good ones are the ones that rip you off the most.

so, my life sucks...for now. i hope yours is much better.

london

2005-07-07T18:43:00.000+08:00

i've always felt safe in london. i think it's cause there are always bobbies patrolling the area when i wait for the bus or just the fact that nothing ever happens there. after bomb blasts all over the world, london has finally got its turn. why? i guess this particular incident hits me more than the others because now, i feel that london will never be the same again. it's not safe. everytime you go down the stairs of the tube station, you'll think of the incident. dammit... even the bus was not safe.

hopefully the pound falls now. hehe. okok, no kidding. i hope everyone i know is alright. those in london reading this, leave me a lil something to know you're alright. i hope things don't get too messy. stay at home and stay safe people.

future

2005-07-04T18:33:00.000+08:00

i'm sorry i've been rather lazy. plus i can't connect my laptop to streamyx. haven't kept up to date with everyone. so how you doing?

i'm starting to get worried for the future. i got one more year to decide what i wanna do with my life. next year i'm gonna work. where am i going to live? what car am i going to buy?

some people seem to have such a good idea of what they're doing. makes me feel so lost... i hate growing up.

so that's all i've been up to. worrying bout life. i realised i haven't put up pics from the drunken night at ck's. will do that soon.

hope all of you have been having a more exciting life. boring update lar. don't expect much till my life gets more exciting.

refurbishment

2005-06-23T18:28:00.000+08:00

gonna make some changes here. very tedious.

changing from a white background to a black one. thus, having to change the colour of all of my posts. actually not all, but since i don't have that many i thought what the heck.

black is supposed to be better for the eyes when reading for too long on your computer screen. haha. but i doubt that ever happens here. anyways, black is much cooler.

somethings are gonna be missing for awhile. sorry la.

and i'm gonna be busy doing nothing as always. but don't forget to drop me a line sometime.

btw, i'm in monash. compared to lse, it's huge. it felt like i've been living in a tiny shack all my life and suddenly i'm in a multi-million dollar mansion.

i'm seriously jobless now. more than just a person without a job, but someone with really nothing to do. i'm not complaining but this can't be healthy. i need some direction, some plan, some motivation, something to do other than sit on my bum. the worse thing is my bro is exactly alike. my parents must be so dissapointed with us. the laziest bums...

the name game

2005-06-15T16:58:00.000+08:00

i've decided that it's time to be officially named. although i have a name that i love and would never change, people just love naming me. so i'm giving you guys the chance. the one with the most votes wins!

here are a few that have been suggested over the years:
cindy
tamara/tara
amy
samantha
helga
michelle

there ain't many people that pass through here, so to make the sample larger and fairer, please tell anyone you know that know me.

you've got till tomorrow. so be quick!

movies i wanna watch

2005-06-10T13:46:00.000+08:00

this is more like a note to myself. so that when the time comes for me to decide what movies to download, i can remember the ones that i really wanna watch and not waste time on some crap, like hitch.

spirited away
dot the i
a lot like love
guess who
the sisterhood of the travelling pants
house of wax
charlie and the choclate factory
corpse bride
napoleon dynamite
stepford wives
harry potter and the goblet of fire

that's all i can think of now. and before anyone asks, i wanna watch house of wax just for paris hilton, even though i know how it'll suck. i'm just curious!

edit: had to add a few more that i forgot. the list never ends...

good luck

2005-06-09T01:32:00.000+08:00

my exams are over. would've been happier if the paper went well, but it didn't. too bad...

anyways, my chicken pox is over! well, all that's left is the scabs. you know i got those damn blisters everywhere. i didn't get like a million all over my body but they sure did appear in almost every possible spot.

i had them on my face, my nose, inside my nose, on my eyelids, on my earlobe, in my ear, one on my lip, on my neck, my shoulders, my back, my chest, my stomach, my butt, my legs, my arms, my hands, my pinky, my knuckles and some other places that shall not be mentioned. good coverage.

actually, thank god there weren't so many blisters. thank god i had it during my break in the exams. and thank god there were no other complications. so, all in all, i was lucky. in a sense.

but then... i can't go out. will be stuck at home eating bland food to help me 'heal' for some time, ranging from one week to one month. many, many 'pantang'. no soy sauce or dark sauces, or else i'll get dark scars on my face. then not supposed to let my face see the sun, feel the wind or touch the rain. only meats allowed is pork and some specific fishes. well, that's all i can remember. but what about my maggi goreng and my teh ais?!

bad luck

2005-06-04T04:46:00.000+08:00

chicken pox, that's what i got. and i'll most prolly be contagious up to my exams. meaning, i don't know how i'm sitting for my exams. hopefully i can still sit. it'll be a total pain in the arse if i have to resit next year.

apart from that. i'm itchin, and with my track record, i doubt i can come out of this scarless. i'll look even more pizza faced than before! it's a sad day...

kiasu, or not kiasu?

2005-06-01T08:48:00.000+08:00

the definition of kiasu is someone that is afraid of losing. well, i was just thinking to myself and wondering if i could be classified under that category.

you see, i am usually the one that starts studying the earliest, i think. well, i'm the one that didn't come out of my house for a week, studying, and pretty much had zero human contact other than a phone call here or there about exams.

but my argument is, it's cause i'm scared. i've got an idea of what i've gotta do before the exams, that includes doing all the reading and doing the past year papers. and there's alot of reading to do. 20 lectures worth of reading, which i would not have touched before this.

but then again, i guess i can be called kiasu since i'm not scared of failing. i'm just scared of not getting that first. but then again, i know alot of other people are like that! especially malaysians. it's in our blood. haha. bad point.

another thing, i'm lazy the whole year round. it's only at exams that i study like mad. there's no motivation for me to work hard any other time. so, that doesn't mean i'm kiasu, right? i just have expectations to fulfill. my own expectations to fulfill.

so anyways, that's the musing out loud part.

i can't believe it. blogging is getting to be more than just putting your deepest darkest secrets on the web, it's way past being just a fad. i think it's growing to be a whole new industry. check out the blogebrity's and look for your favourite bloggers.

'don't believe the truth'

day 3

2005-05-31T08:50:00.000+08:00

3rd paper tomorrow. or more like this morning. not prepared but i think this is one of those which u can never be. after this i got one more paper. and after that, a week and a half till i go home. yay!

and..i LOVE oasis.

OASIS PARTY FOR LIVERPOOL
Steve Hunter 28 May 2005
One of the biggest bands in the world Oasis celebrated Liverpool's Champions League victory in fine style by walking out to their gig in London with the anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' on Wednesday night. Oasis played the Coronet theatre in London on Wednesday night but they didn't come on stage until Liverpool had beaten AC Milan. Instead of having a support band brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher got a big screen up onstage for fans to watch the match.
There was an amazing atmosphere in the Coronet with fans cheering Liverpool and the band saluted the Reds achievement by scrapping their normal introduction song and instead came on to Liverpool's anthem 'You'll NeverWalk Alone', bathed in red light.
Then for the first song of the set Oasis singer Liam Gallagher saluted Liverpool and dedicated 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' to the AC Milan fans! Speaking before the gig Noel Gallagher told NME.com: "The gig was sold out and I said, 'Instead of getting a support band, why don't we get a bigscreen and stick it in the middle of the stage so everyone can watch the game. Then we'll play after the game and get a late curfew'. They all went for it, so we hired a big cinema thing."

hot as hell

2005-05-27T23:59:00.000+08:00

just the other day i was wondering why the weather was still so cold. i remembered that it was much warmer this time of year last year. and then it became hot. much much hotter than i thought it would be. therefore, me being silly wore more clothes and sweating like a pig.

some guys may say summer is good since less clothes are worn. but seriously...i think some people should just keep their clothes on. i think i see more of those people than good looking people. imagine 50 year old men wearing shorts and showing their pasty white legs and the 50 year old women going braless and showing the consequences of gravity and age. it ain't a pretty picture.

i'm not discriminating against old people, young people look equally as bad. gawd... they should take a look in the mirror. i know being proud of your body is a good thing, but sometimes i just wonder if they even care how ridiculous they look.

haha..rare bitchings. but i haven't been out for such a long time, today was a culture shock.

anyways, i'm halfway thru my exams. but i feel as if it's over. well, the worse part is over (you know? i slept only one hour last nite 'cos i was cramming... first time!). now comes to slow and agonising week where i'll have to study while everyone's out partying.

wish me luck and root for ferrari this week. i hope they can make a comeback.

btw, you wanadoo people damn free ar? i think it's the exams rite. you don't wanna study so u come here.

d-day

2005-05-26T05:06:00.000+08:00

tommorrow is the day. my first paper, which also happens to be one of the worse. it's the one that's got everyone worried from day one. finance!

anyways, it's my first of two bad papers in a row. and after that, i've got another two not so bad ones with a week seperating them. it's good so that i can study, but i can't wait for it to be over. can't wait to go home.

i feel bad for going home so early. i really really wanna go home, but then everyone's out travelling and i'm missing it all. but then again, no one to go travelling with me either. bleh!

so, liverpool has won/lost. i really lost hope after the first half. i never knew they had it in them to come back. i really do hope they win... they've got euro magic. somehow they do so well for this but screw up at home. maybe it's benitez.

wish me luck! i hope i can be like liverpool (not if they lose). i won't mind if the answers don't come to me in the first half, but then in the second half, i'll get hit by brilliant ideas. hope against hope.

edit: liverpool won! i can't believe it. champion's league trophy in the cabinet. although they won't be there again next year, but still... champions! second english team to be. i'd say this season is a success.

bad habits

2005-05-19T17:57:00.000+08:00

i'm sitting in the library at 11 in the morning, trying to get some reading done. but i can't for the life of me concentrate and my eyelids are starting to feel heavy. but i can't be sleepy, i've only been awake for 12 hours and that's after sleeping 9 hours. plus, i've consumed 2 cups of coffee within those 12 hours but it doesn't seem to be helping.

you know i hate it. the problem with me is i just can't sleep when i want. but when i don't wanna sleep i can't help it. argh!!!

or maybe...it's this damn book i'm reading. i hate it when people like to use big words for something so simple. i have to read the same bloody line at least 2 times before i get it. lemme give an example of a smart alec making my life difficult.

he says, "Whereas the future outlook of management accounting practice may suggest forms of converging effects increasingly at play, the field's past reflects, in large part, a sustained level of divergent peculiarities." and after reading it many times, what i got was that management accounting might be more uniform in the future, but according to the past, there will always be a level of difference. didn't have to be that complicated rite.......

gawd..i'm just pissed.

edit:[1.05pm] i've been here for 3 hours. so proud of myself. and now i'm going home. to sleep.

time flies...

2005-05-19T12:51:00.000+08:00

when you've got nothing to do but study.

today i just realised that i haven't gone out in a week. throughout this time, it never occured to me that i have not stepped further out than my kitchen (which is about 10 steps from my door). time really just flies when life has become so routine. wake up, eat, go online, study, eat, play around, eat, study, sleep, etc.

and for the first time in a week, i'm going out today! to the library! i can't imagine anything more exciting than this.

damn..another 3 more weeks.

bleh!

2005-05-17T12:16:00.000+08:00

i'm sick of studying. the past week has been unproductive. hours wasted playing online games and watching reruns. although i should be working harder since it's only a week away...but i think this is a classic case of burn out. i've been studying for more than a month! and i still got about a month to go...

i'm sick of it! bleh!

[p.s. i seem to get an increase in visitors whenever i post. so, i'm wondering if you got here from pressing the 'next blog' button or isit from the blogger dashboard? really appreciate it if you would satisfy my curiosity. thanks.]

serial addict

2005-05-15T04:31:00.000+08:00

the problem with serials are that i can't help not watching them. no matter how lame it gets, i just keep on watching. i don't know if it's just me or what? but the reason i keep on watching is just because i've been watching it so far. i'm not just talking about the o.c. here. gilmore girls has started to become lame too. which is really sad since it was really something i always looked forward too.

others include harry potter. i just watched the newest trailer and although that book didn't go down well with me, i still feel like i have to watch the movie. i think 3 is the lucky number 'cos the third book was really the best. with shopaholic too. i just finished reading book 4, shopaholic and sister, and i think she should've just stopped at shopaholic ties the knot. or i should've stopped reading. but like i said, i couldn't help myself. and i think i will still read harry potter and the half-blood prince when i get my hands on it.

but i've managed to find myself a fresh new series to follow. it's called house and it's like a medical c.s.i. but with more jokes. watch it and tell your friends too, so that it'll be easier and faster for me to download it next time.

on another note. i think i really am a social retard. i've lost all ability to come up with small talk. it all started in the kitchen when i met one of my flatmates. she said hi, i said hi, we exchanged the how are you's? but after that my mind was blank and there was silence... maybe another reason could be that i just woke up. but i still feel retarded. and because i haven't met half of my flatmates either when i've moved in for two weeks!

anyways, exam season in lse will officially start monday but my exams start a week later. hehe..lucky me. so to all those in lse who come by, i wish you all the best of luck and hope u get the best results possible!

[p.s. i'm going home on the 17th of june! ]

on the edge

2005-05-07T11:15:00.000+08:00

busy, busy, busy. and hopeless. i know, i know, i say this all the time but then i go on and do well either way. but this time, i really can't help feeling i won't. every single paper i look at, doesn't look good. it's the time of year again when killing yourself seems to be the better option. like a friend said, "at least i don't have to take the exams."

on to happier things. i've comfortably moved in. everything. even the table. and as u can see, the room is quite cosy. haven't met many flatmates yet. oni one. could be that i don't really eat at the usual hours or i'm subconciously avoiding them because i'm that antisocial. that's all i have to say.

my new home

edit: i'm sorry i did not give her credit earlier..but lisa helped me take apart the table. yay!

table woes

2005-04-30T09:37:00.000+08:00

just wanted to leave a short note but it's too long for the tag-board.

i can't get my table apart!!! omg...i'm so pissed at myself. when i put it together i was frustrated it wouldn't stick so i put alot of glue and now i want it apart it won't come apart. damn the table. i really hate to just leave it (plus they might charge me to remove it...i don't know...i hope not). so anyone who wants a table and can figure a way to transport it, please take it! actually, that was just a plea to no one in particular. i just feel kinda upset about it right now...

btw, i missed a chance to get a signature from kim catrall just because i wasn't in the right mood to go out. some people are just so lucky.

nothing

2005-04-27T04:01:00.000+08:00

actually i don't really have anything to say. nothing exciting (other than last weekend's race). and nothing new. so far i've been studying 'introduction to econometrics' and moving back and forth from my hall to my flat. but i've noticed a lack of activity so i thought i'd make some up.

i realised that i really don't have as many things as i thought i would have. i've really just confined my shopping to getting new furniture for my room when i first moved in. so, this actually means i don't have that many things quantity wise but i do have a giant table which i'm not too sure what i'm gonna do about. and also a big double duvet for my tiny single bed.

i realised how lonely it's going to be moving back into halls when i first stepped into my room. it brought back memories of when i first stepped into room 133B last year. plus, i'm not too keen on meeting people either. i think it's because i've been such a recluse this year that whatever lil' social skills i might have had have dissapeared. although i usually just hole up in my room and keep the door shut, at least the people in the other rooms were friends and i could get the social interaction i needed from them. now, no one will even come visit... and i'm too cheap to visit 'cos i ain't got a bus pass anymore.

ok, i'm just kidding. that might've sound quite depressing and although it might be, it ain't that bad. the good thing about the place is there's a fried chicken outlet just outside the door! haha...instant dinner.

i'm gonna miss my room, my flat, my sucky neighbourhood. actually, i realised that the whole of pimlico is really posh and as you walk towards sloane square there are really nice flats and houses. i just think i'm lucky to live in this area even though i got the cheapest part of it.

that's longer than usual. that's just 'cos i'm really letting it flow here... the crap that is.

malaysian idol rejects

2005-04-24T17:50:00.000+08:00

malaysian idol will be back for a second season starting 27th may and not only will the annoying duo of jien and cheryl be back, 'man in sexy yellow shorts' will be back too. i can't actually remember what song he sang but i do remember him touching himself and shaking his booty alot! although he is singing a 'safer' song this time, i really wonder what his performance will be like this time ('cos he's also touching himself in the photograph). but there's a good chance that i won't be back in time to see it. so, all those back in m'sia, if you catch the episode of the penang auditions, tell me how it goes.

a new room

2005-04-23T22:22:00.000+08:00

i'm relocating to room 8 in flat 507, 159 Great Dover Street. hehe...don't really know the address yet. went to have a look at it yesterday and boy was it tiny. certainly smaller than my current room. but i shouldn't complain. at least i've got my own (tiny) toilet and a (tiny) fridge in my room. not to mention a bed without pillows and the best thing, a huge clean kitchen. thank god for clean flatmates.

so, moving in date is the 30th of april. volunteers can come over to the old place anytime around lunch or meet me at the new place. food will be provided afterwards.

on a different note, i can't do my homework! i can't blame it on the holidays because i have been studying. i don't know why but i just don't know the answers and i'm not anywhere near to finding them. i can't remember nuts and because exams are near it's even more depressing...

rise and fall

2005-04-15T20:17:00.000+08:00

first i was upset because i didn't think that i would get to go to the concert. then my friend told me he'd like to go too so i was happy. then a few hours later he calls it off and i'm upset again up until earlier today when i found the textbook that i really needed from the library and it was a 3 day loan book. so yeah, i'm easily satisfied but easily dissapointed too.

i'd like to whine, whine and whine and then wallow in self pity somemore about how i ain't going to the concert 'cos i'm such an ass and a scared freak, but the feeling has passed and no one has to hear about it. although i think my shrink by email has heard it all before (the last time that oasis came over to singapore). it's the same shit, different situation and place but i still don't feel the compelling need to change my shit. i guess that's why people are growing up while i still feel like a kid.

sometimes i just ask myself why can't i stop talking?

oasis is coming to town

2005-04-15T02:06:00.000+08:00

yes. oasis is gonna play a few club gigs in london. am i going? prolly not. i'm to afraid to go alone and i only found someone who might wanna go but then asks me who else is going. so i doubt that'll happen. the worse thing is that tickets go on sale tomorrow morning and i found out about it this afternoon. which means that i've been asking just anyone i can think of to go with me. i'm just obsessing over it for the moment that's why i need to write it down to try to get over it. i think i should just go and forget about waiting for other people 'cos none of my friends agree with my taste in music. but then again, i don't dare.

home alone

2005-04-13T11:26:00.000+08:00

in case you've been wondering, "where's huiyi these days?", i've been staying in. just studying. it's like all i ever do is eat, sleep and study. how sad? but that's what happens when you don't keep up with your work...

it's not that i'm at home 'cos i need to study so much. it's more laziness and cheapness. see, my bus pass expired and it's not possible for me to walk so the cost of going out is much higher now. but i think i really need to. i need help with work. but i'm so scared to go to the library 'cos i know how packed it'll be. damn kiasu fellas at LSE.

to thisguy, let's discuss the managerial papers when we've both done it. and to everyone else (seems like the whole world is busy with school now), hang in there and best of luck!

voyeurism

2005-04-06T05:44:00.000+08:00

did i spell that correctly? anyways, i just realised how i like reading about my friends lives thru their blogs. but so far, i've only got three actively blogging friends. so, once they don't update i've got nothing to read. well, i could make more friends or........ you guys can start blogging. so, come on....

actually, i don't really think of myself as a blogger. i come here when i feel i've got nothing better to do. which is now, the time i need to do some other more important things a.k.a. study. the thing with studying is you get sick of it. and whenever i wanna do something else, i feel that i must do something productive or else i'm better off studying. but i can't find anything productive.

life sucks! and then you die....

[p.s. i need some change here. gimme ideas. ]

back in time

2005-04-05T03:18:00.000+08:00

bruges is really a lovely city. it's old and the buildings are well maintained. you'll really feel you're in another world.

lovely bruges covered in fog

here are pictures of my trip to holland and belgium.

it's more than just sex and drugs

2005-04-03T23:49:00.000+08:00

i didn't go to amsterdam just to see the red light district. there's not much to do there in the daytime anyways. so we were taken to a clogs and cheese factory which was basically a place where they bring tourists and entertain them with some simple demonstrations on how to make cheese and clogs and then cut their throats at the gift shop.

clogs

the dutch are also famous for their windmills. you can see them everywhere but apparently this is the only one which is still in use...

windmills

the one thing that intrigued me was the bicycle filled streets which resembled china more than europe. oh...and the way they sell their fast food too.

bicycles

and 'febo' fast food

i've uploaded my first installment of photos (in kent). so, go have a look if you wish.

everything's legal in amsterdam

2005-04-01T22:41:00.000+08:00

went to amsterdam with my family. so all we did was go to a live sex show and walk around looking at hoes in windows. didn't visit any coffeeshops or smartshops. it's funny how we go to coffeeshops in m'sia looking for a cup of white coffee and some buttered toast but a coffeeshop in amsterdam is where you get your weed.

i'm sorry to say i didn't manage to take any pics inside the sex show. photography is strictly prohibited. you can't even use your handphone. but i can give you a brief description of what was in the show. just imagine porn but with more style. someting like a musical except they don't sing, but they have sex to the rythmn of the music. there were some freak shows too, like a girl smoking a cigar with her pussy. it's actually more entertaining than porn.

photography of the hoes are strictly prohibited too. didn't even dare try. was scared the big black ones will come charging out of their rooms at me. but i was really curious how much they charged. saw some fellas asking the girl but didn't see anyone actually going in.

red light district

a guide to prostitution

there was more to the trip than just amsterdam but it's just not as interesting. had mussles in brussels and waffles in bruges and a tour of the 'theatre of dreams'. but i'll leave that for some other time, maybe. i'll tell you when i upload my pics and when you can have a look at the lovely dutch seaside.

tiring vacation

2005-03-25T08:59:00.000+08:00

been a tiring past few days. had to be tour guide to my parents. not only that, with them around i have to wake up at 9am. far too early for me. i'm just halfway there and i've still got halfway more of my vacation with them to go.

already went travelling around kent for the past 4 days. now after a lil' stopover in london we're going off to holland and belgium for another 4 days. then off to manchester again before returning to london to see my parents off to m'sia. very hectic. so to everyone, happy easter and happy studying. will join the library/study room gang soon.

in the 'garden of england'

[p.s. how can someone be so famous just from blogging? i don't even find her interesting! but i guess the majority of people do.]

california!

2005-03-19T08:29:00.001+08:00

i've just finished watching the latest episode of the o.c. and i'm starting to see the flaws again. weak script, lack of acting talent and a lame story line. it looks like a high school play. it was interesting at the begining of season 2 cos they came up with all sorta new scandals but now after seeing seth happy i don't know what to watch for anymore. but i'll still keep downloading every friday morning and keep watching it in hopes that something juicy will come up in the writers' minds. so, to you o.c. fans out there, just leave me a lil' something telling me why you watch it (other than to watch seth cohen). i really am curious.

btw, here's some real life drama i thought i'd share with you. it's my new addiction. and a happy holidays to all you lse students! i'll be seeing you guys in the library soon.

a series of unfortunate events

2005-03-16T10:12:00.000+08:00

today has to be one of the most unlucky days for me. was going to write a detailed account, but it's too long. basically, the bus i got onto has to stop halfway. then i get caught in a massive jam that was like the worse i've ever seen in that area. then i realised that i forgot my keys and had to go chasing after my housemates. then i get onto another bus hoping to take some kinda short cut but end up missing the bus that goes straight home. and at the end of it all i was quite frustrated and felt like crying in the middle of the road.

but then i realise it ain't too bad. i didn't have to wait that long for the bus. not more than 5 minutes. and my housemates decided to stop and wait for me so that they could pass me their key (so grateful!). and i got some exercise trying to chase after their bus.

i've been very superstitious lately. i'm thinking that if small little 'good' things happen to me, then my landlord my suddenly decide not to kick us out till after exams. but since i've been feeling rather crappy and out of luck these past two days, i doubt that'll happen. just bracing myself for the bad news. d-day was supposed to be monday, but he said he couldn't find out. so an ultimatum has been given....tomorrow (wednesday).

wish list

2005-03-12T16:11:00.000+08:00

since i have an essay due on monday and my birthday was months ago, i was inspired to compile a list of 21 things that i would like for my 21st belated birthday as presented below in no particular order.

both kill bill dvds
or the kill bill soundtrack
an official oasis t-shirt
a denim jacket (i prefer this style)
something from the retro range in paperchase (maybe the photo album in red)
a trip to rome/barcelona
a huge, yummy cake
tickets to watch liverpool play at the kop
a book, something fiction but not sci-fi (haven't read 'prozac nation')
take me to the movies to watch 'be cool'
or take me to the theatre to watch joshua jackson
a t-shirt with some funny saying in front
anything cool from muji, maybe this bag or this clock or this or this or this
a pretty scarf with many colours
a car to drive when i'm back in malaysia, you don't have to buy it, loaning me your car is fine
scrubs/gilmore girls dvd set
a place to store my things over summer
or if i'm unlucky, a hand to move my things
a nice dinner anywhere
a watch
just a simple card or 2 sent to my flat

ok, the last 2 things don't really count since i got them already but it's not easy thinking of 21 things! i don't really want everything there. actually, i do want everything there but i don't want my friends to go out and get them for me. but there are still quite a few present options. so, are you girls proud of me that i finally told you what i want?
