September

After my colleague had left the company and I have to take over her job, I have very long time did not blog for very long time. So since today I have nothing much to do yet, so I decided to write a blog now, or else, I have no time to blog, and my darlings will start to complain that I did not update myself.

Here is it, my short summary about my September life.

I have I done recently, nothing much except I got few tests to go through. Beginning of September, I went for a karaoke session with 33, jean, Suzanne, Terence, and Choong. That day was a really good outing and we really did not spend time like that for very long.

On one fine night, Zi Yuan was asking 33, Choong, Jean and me to go out to drink. With Jean’s directory, we went to a beer house at Puchong. At there, we girls were cam-whoring and had lots of fun. Another very important thing that we found out that day is, ZY is a SS king. He can act cuter than our 33, which made us feel like don’t want to take picture with him, cause we could never be cuter than him and he is a guy. Wait for Ivise to come back then we sure can win. Anyway, we got to involve Choong in our SS session and he can act innocent too.

For the long weekends, Hari Raya holidays, I spent most of my time with Jean. I was staying at her house and we went to accompany Aunty Lilian to shop for her cloth and I got treated for some nice food especially soup made by Aunty Lilian. From this home stay, I got to know gor gor, Jaray (we call him as Chin Fei more often) better that both of us play those FB boring application – Restaurant City, which really killed our time. But somehow we like it. And I found out where is Jean’s SS gene come from, it’s from Chin Fei!!!

Besides, Jean and I also got to spend some precious time with our long lost contact buddy, Kenneth Cheah, who will only appear when he is single and available. Not to be mean but this is the truth and he, himself also admitted that. Even I had not seen him for more than one year (the last time we met was our convocation) but we still as close as last time and he is still my fan shu. Another buddy, Zi Yuan whom I almost will meet him once a week, (which even more frequent than my darling jean whom I only meet up when both of us are not lazy and free) just confessed to me that he had a girl friend few days before, told us that he intended to break up with his gf (at that moment) and he did it few days after. We went to drink beer at a beer house in Puchong and I found that I really cannot drink beer which really makes me half dead (even I was the one who drank the least that night).

That’s about my September. What had happened so far for my October? I cannot really recall it now, will update my blog once I remember what had happened recently. (Really envy those bloggers can blog so much things and that’s explained why I can’t just stay at home sit in front of my lappy and earn money.)

my day

Today, I heard the very well-known quote “life is not about how long is it, it is about how wide you live it” this is very true. We will never know when we will die, but as long as we live, we should live it as wide as we can. I am thinking what I had done for 22 years. I went through PTS, UPSR, PMR, UEC (Jr), SPM, UEC (Sr), degree and now doing ACCA. Like what 33 said, we spent more than half of our lives in studying. Some nobles said study is for learning knowledge but not to pass exam. As far as I live now, except kindergarden (which I couldn’t recall), almost every teacher and lecturer, the first day they come into the class, they will tell you how is the marking scheme and the format of the exam. Is this what they called knowledge-based education? I am not agreed with that. If they really want to implement knowledge-based education, then there should no exam at all. Children study base on their own interests. This is what I call knowledge-based education but this will never happened. The conclusion is, the nobles know how to talk crap.

Back to the main topic, what had I done? I passed all of my major exams, some with flying color, some are not. I get to know bunch of great friends. From high school till college, I have friends went through all the happiness and sadness with me. We learned together, we grew up together, we laughed together and of course, we cried together. (Human likes to talk about the past and me too.) What achievement have I done so far? Feeding myself? This is not really can be proud of because some of my darlings already earning money when they were at the age of 20 and 21 and they had finished their degree too. This is so sad when I see that I have no achievement for my 22 years of life. What if I die tomorrow? Will I regret? Yes, for sure I will regret. So to not regret, to everyone I care, “I LOVE YOU!!”.

19 July 2009

The day before, I went to class with 33, as usual, after class we went to church. After church we went to pyramid to have our dinner with choong. While we were eating there, terence came over to join us, (and actually he wanted to tumpang at my house) supposing Jean was joining us, but the traffic was too jam and she was VERY TIRED (cos she went to lepak until 5am the nite before) so she decided not to join us. After we had our dinner, we met Ken and Jeff. Nothing else to do, the guys went for a smoke break while 33 and I were second hand smokers * bad for health =( * Ken was still have to work after meeting us. There been very long that I didn’t meet him, he is all the while busy even when he was unemployed (susah sangat nak ajak).

The next day, 19 July 2009, after jean and her bro came to fetch Terence and I, we went to 1U to have our breakfast. We had burger king as breakfast after breakfast we went to cinema to get ready to watch our long-waited Harry Potter, the Half Blood Prince. Before movie, for sure we took few pictures, few really mean few cause was only 4-5 pictures, which is very less for us (cause our nice, pro, beautiful photographer is in Melbourne). Another reason that we took pictures is to show “how SHORT Ivy is?” YES! I am the shortest, this is not because I am really short but the persons that I went out with are TOO TALL. So this is totally NOT my problem. Actually the day before I was struggling that should I wear heels on that day to shorten distant between they and I.

Those tall people totally ignored me

Can’t cover even chin

Shot before the movie start

About Harry Potter, the Half Blood Prince, as usual, not up to expectation. Is this the norm that when a novel become a movie will always disappoint the readers? The answer is 98% YES. There are not much fighting scenes in the movie, but more kissing scenes, maybe all of them have grown up. Some parts of the story are not explained clearly, like why Snape calls himself as Half Blood Prince. This is because his mom’s surname is Prince and he is half blood, which means his father is a muggle, so he is Half Blood Prince. The funeral at the end of the book which made me cried is been cut!! So I didn’t cry when Dumbledore died. Hopefully the next movie will be better cause it will be split into 2 movies so they should have enough time to include all the story in the book into the movies.

After movie, we went to Carl’s Jr. to have lunch. Only Jean and Chin Fei (Jean’s bro) ate because Terence and I had whole burger for breakfast so we still felt full when Jean grave for Carl’s Jr.. Anyway, the burger is not as nice as the MidValley one. We had so much fun at Carl’s Jr., we were looking at a fat family, wondering how many burgers they will order, but they disappointed us. So we left and went for some window shopping. Around 5.00pm, we sent Chin Fei to Sunway to meet his friend and to go back to Kuantan. Gor gor… Sorry! I caused you left your bottle in the car.

Tiny Ivy vs. Mighty Chin Fei

Can you see me?

Our next destination is Ikea, The Curve. When we reached there, ZY, Choong and Jeff also come to join us. After a while, Choong and Jeff went to fetch 33 back from work, pitiful 33, still have to work on Sunday. And we were accompany Jean to get 33’s belated birthday present at Ikano Power Centre and we were walking up and down at Ikano Power Centre to get the best one for 33. So the fact that we walked a lot is not important, because we love 33. (Sweet? Cos I haven’t got present for 33) after that, we tempted Jean to eat cupcake with us. Why we tempted her? Because the week before her weight was only 46kg and she is 171cm, so we have to make sure she get some calories, fat to get back to her normal weight. The cupcake is not very nice but we like Terence’s cupcake, orange chocolate more. Then we went jalan-jalan, we saw the Maxis roadshow, Terence got a keychain for Jean by throwing the paper into the dustbin. Must to mention Terence is a good shooter, and Jean, of course a lousy one, because she can’t even get one into the dustbin.

Our cupcake!!

Cupcake Chips

4 of us eating our cupcake

Terence's cupcake - Orange Chocolate

After that ZY dumped us to go to seremban to meet his friend. So 3 of us headed to Ikea to have our dinner. I don’t understand why Ikea restaurant always has so many people? The food is nice? I think only some are nice, not all. Cheap? No. Why were we going? Because we didn’t eat at Ikea for very long time. After dinner, we split into 2 gangs again, cos 33 had to work the day after, I had to work too, but not as tiring as her. Then we jalan-jalan in Ikea for a while, this time, Jeff was following us. I only realized that Jeff is a virus carrier. When Terence walks near to him, he will become retarded and uncivilized. And when he walks away from Jeff, he will back to normal again. What a scary virus!! I bought something from Ikea, it’s all planned, and I didn’t buy anything that out of plan. Brilliant? Yes, I know I am brilliant!!

Our food

Our normal gang that now very hard to gather together

SKY (trust me, we prefer KEYS)

Smoking zone

After we left Ikea, we went to SS2 to yam cha. After the yam cha session, then our day is end.

Pretend busy

Once you go to work in my company, this first thing that you must learn is pretend to be busy. In this company, people feel uncomfortable when they see someone is free or just being relax for a while. They will start to tell everyone that you are very free, so others can assign their works to you even it is not related to your job scoop. Anyhow you have to do it because if you don’t do it, someone on top will get the rumor that you are not working hard. From there on, you will be watching.

So no matter what are you doing, just keep your serious face, even you are reading a funny joke or looking at funny pictures, make sure you don’t laugh. This is what my colleagues do even my manager too. They look very serious even they are fb-ing or msn-ing. So they are the hardworking employees while me, try to look serious while typing my blog in the office at 10.30am.. Like Ivise had said earlier, put my poker face on while I am in the office, Try to not show my emotion on my face.

Is this a must for working personnel? I want to be a full time student!!

Place that i want to go

Where do i want to go? Actually there are a few places that i want to go. Recently, the number is increasing. so i wonder wheather i can earn that much to get myself to travel to so many places.

1. Taiwan, 2010 (to attend hii en's graduation)
2. Melbourne, before 2011 (before ivise graduate)
3. London, 2011 (for Harry Potter last movie premiere)
4. Greece (the place i always wan to go)
5. New Zealand (a place that i just found have so much fun besides the cows and sheeps)
6. China (surprise? wan to go to lot of places in China bcos d sceneries are so beautiful, andChinese said "as a Chinese, you have to go to Great Wall once in your life time")
7. Europe (definitely a place with so much treasures that can be found, mayb i will get a blue eyes husband from there)

and a lot more that didn't come to my mind now.

Teaching Science and Math in English

Our not so bright cabinet had decided to revert the teaching of math and science to Bahasa Melayu or mother tongue. I was so curious why are they so naive that thinking using bahasa or mother tongue (mandarin, tamil) is an action that show them love their language. do they know that their action will cause our next generation to be pulled back to compete with other countries. while they were proposing this idea, most of them are sending their children to study in some international schools which are using english as the medium of teaching. how many ministers sending their children to local university? yes, they are right. we still can have a lot of doctors with teaching math and science in bahasa. but compare with other countries, are they that outstanding?

they said that the result of teaching science and math in english is not up to expectation, so they wan to revert to BM. come on, how can you see the outcome with only 6 years spent? how many years had be used to produce proton saga and develop the automobile industry in malaysia? now is about education, 6 years is not enough to judge the outcome.

i still remembered that when teaching science and math in english was first introduced, i was so happy. i felt that our next generation has the hope to compete with others. now what? please, dont be silly. with this so bright decision had been made. i see that m'sia is not moving on but stepping back to 20th century.

read the mahathir's post. be bright malaysian.

A. 尊貴的皇族
你的高貴氣質是與生俱來的，即使與一屋子的貴族坐在一起，你也絲毫不會顯得遜色。你的舉止優雅大方，談吐得體，精辟的見解，廣博的學識更是足以令人刮目相看。穿越時空，你會成為一個真正的皇族成員，過著貴族一般奢侈、華貴的生活。但是，你始終逃不過一個“情”字，你會因為愛情而脫離正常的生活軌跡，也許還會變得一貧如洗。但尊貴的身份使得你還是要在人前拼命維持自己高貴的尊嚴，也絕不容許自己與市井之人一般!

B. 修身養性的隱士
你對名利之類身外之物向來沒多大興趣，身上透出一股雲淡風輕的淡泊氣質，你向往的是一種悠然自得、不受拘束的生活。這在現世很難做到，但是穿越時空，你會過著世外高人般的隱居生活，閒適自在，物質上並不怎麼豐富，但是卻有自己所熱愛的精神生活，與相愛之人一起，盡情享受大自然的寧靜與雅致，作一對神仙伴侶，比翼雙飛。

C. 馳騁沙場的將軍　
你有著遠大的抱負，也有著男子般地錚錚鐵骨，絕不滿足於平淡的生活。雖然在現世，憑借你的努力與才智，也能為你贏得不小的成就，但總是沒有自己渴望中的那般轟轟烈烈。穿越時空，你一定能成為縱橫沙場、建功立業的大將軍。雖然槍林彈雨的生活總是不免艱苦，而且時時縈繞著死亡的恐懼，但是你可以在施展抱負中得到了前所未有的快樂與滿足。同時，你會擁有一段同樣轟轟烈烈的愛情，你們彼此深愛著對方，卻免不了要經歷生離死別的痛楚

D. 隨性逍遙的藝術家　　
你向來喜歡那種放蕩不羈、驚世駭俗的生活，你堅持自己的想法，完全按照自己喜歡的方式生活，全然不顧他人的看法與感受。穿越時空，你很可能會成為一個到處漂泊，隨遇而安的藝術家。在流浪中尋求創作的靈感，在山川河岳之間升華自己的靈魂。你會輕易的愛上，但不得不輕易的放棄，因為，你是一個天生的流浪者，絕不可能只在一個地方停留駐足。你的一生在孤獨中走過，但卻過得瀟灑、自在。
