Memories!! Thanks for the Memories

19 DAYS.

2011-12-19T22:45:00.005+08:00

Let's see it people! 19 days till we bring out the new calendars!

Am I even slightly excited? Naw, not really. I'm as moody as Ashton Kutcher in New Year's Eve. Why you ask? No reason. Call me the New Year's Grinch.

Maybe it's because I felt like I haven't achieved enough this year. Sure, this and that, but nothing meaningful. This year brings about many changes in my life.

Met new people, some very nice, most just simply nice, none horrible.
Got to work (internship), loads of opportunities, definitely matured from that.
Moved to a new house (Yes people! I moved! Explains the lack of Internet connection no?). Was taxing, especially when you had events, work and thesis to juggle in between. I survived, what's next?
Entered a college competition, not debate this time. But at least we won something this time around. (even though I don't consider second place as a win, but whatever)

I think I should have a timeline for this year. Just because I have too much time on my hands. Event's over. Exams are up, the last, final exam. So college is ending in about 23 days. College life over. Can I say I look forward to the new year? Well, no.

On the other hand, two of my favourite people will be back soon to be with us on NYE. Something to look forward to. Can we have something to end this year with a BANG! Because that's what I need right now. Banging. Erm, that didn't come out right. I mean, I need excitement.

Anyways, if you haven't achieved what you're supposed to this year, the New Year's Grinch is here to remind you. 19 DAYS PEOPLE. Do what you want. Live this year to no regrets. Reflect on the year, learn from it, do better.

And to borrow a quote from New Year's Eve (Movie). 'What if you can't fail today? What would you do? Good, now go do that'

Disclaimer: The author is not responsible for any lost caused from trying to 'achieve something from not being able to fail'. HOWEVER, if you DO gain something from it. A simple thanks would brighten up his day. Some share of the spoils would brighten his day even further. ;)

Until then, toodles.

I Remember 2

2011-06-21T03:18:00.002+08:00

Hey guys! I’m posting again! Only means a few things. Either I have suddenly turned over a new leaf and became very hardworking OR that something extremely exciting happened that I have to tell the whole world about it OR I’m stumped with assignments, due dates are near and I haven’t started anything. If you have choosen the second choice, you clearly don’t know me enough. Now back to stalking to ya! I suggest Facebook, I post almost anything there. Not Twitter, I only approve people I know. So enough with the suspense already, if you’ve guessed the third choice, congratulations, I’m freaked out by ya!

Anyways, Assignments. So here’s to warm up my finger. With the blog I can practically type non-stop. I wonder why I can’t do such a thing with my assignment. Assignment by priority:

Internship Report, Crisis Management –Air Asia, Advanced PR Writing – Thor

These are only for this week. I haven’t even thought about the weeks after. Plus there’s two midterm coming up. Psychology, which I have no idea what it’s about. And Corporate Communication, which I have absolutely no interest in. The lecturer’s pretty, erm, “motivating” tho. At least that’s what he says.

Enough with the boring stuff! Here comes the second part of the “I Remember” series.

I Remember back when I was in primary school I broke a mug when no one was home. I threw it away right after. When my parents came back home and asked about it, I burst into tears. I have no idea why I did so now. Fear? Perhaps. But seriously, a mug broke and you’re scared of? OK, I maybe a lil too hard on myself. I was prolly 10/11.

Toodles! Until the next busy period of my life!

I remember 1

2011-05-19T01:47:00.004+08:00

Boredom strikes again!

I'll post bits and pieces of what I can remember throughout this nearly 21 years of my life so that it doesn't fade away when I get old. Or more stupid.

I remember

Benjamin and I were playing the farting game (it's where you fart at each other, figures eh?) when we were much younger (we obviously don't do that anymore, heck, we don't even fart anymore nowdays, yeaps, total truth. Honest). So as we exchange farts, he suddenly kept quiet and walked behind. His face red. When I walked behind, I saw bits and pieces of shit on the floor. LMAO! That was the last time he ever tried to push it!

So internship has ended. It's pretty boring, college and all seemed a tad bit routine. I don't feel like I have a purpose in life. No, not planning to end my life D'oh. Just that, I need something to do. All the time. Else I'll just be bored shitless. So hang out anybody? :)

Woah! Long time no post!

2011-04-10T15:26:00.001+08:00

Hello you bored stalkers! How has it been going?

Yes, you’ve guess it! I’m pretty much stressed now and have a workload piling up, but hey, that’s prolly the only time you’ll see me and my ramblings on this dead site!

Interning in Edelman is awesome! Great people around me, always willing to teach and motivate. Always guiding your way to becoming someone more awesome than I already am. I do see the downside of working in a PR line tho. From my observation, seems to me like these people do not really have much free time on their hands (a PR way of saying you’ve got no life) . Things are really hectic, things are always moving, on the go, upbeat. There seems to be no time at all for you to stop, catch your breath and run. It’s like a never ending marathon. Even when you’re at the weekends you reponsibilities aren’t over. I’ve been doing fine myself. Even if there is responsibilities, it looks kinda miniscule if you compare with the likes of the senior executives or the executives even. I do dread thinking about the life I’m going to be leading should I continue this line of work.

So a couple of this I have learned here.

Priortize! Work is never ending. Don’t be foolish by saying “I’ll do this after I’ve finish my work” because if you say this, then you’ll never move on. Identify which is important, and which can be delayed, finish that and move on.
Always have sometime off for yourself. Yeaps, I said it was busy, but make time for yourself. Else you’ll be overwhelmed, drained, tired and just completely exhausted both mentally and physically.
Ask for help. You’re new, people around you will always help (If you’re lucky, I happen to be one of the few lucky ones). People don’t expect you to learn something the first time you do it.

I can’t think of anymore right now. I just want to get my work done and over with now. My fingers are good to go with this little exercise. The funny thing is, it isn’t even Edelman work. Just a side project that a couple of us been working on. I still have a bad feeling about this, but I’ve made it a point to take every opportunity that comes my way, so here to sticking to your NY Resolution!

4 weeks, or 20 working days to go before we (Me and CheeKun) leave Edelman to resume our studies. I can only imagine how weird it’s going to be like waking up the next Monday morning not taking the KTM to work but the bus instead to college. Walking up the hill silently wearing a T-Shirt, short pants, a sweater, slingbag and a MP3....scratch the MP3.

To do list:

a) A new wallet

b) A camera (not a DSLR, but a slim camera you use to camwhore yourself)

c) A mp3 player

d) A new phone (preferably a phone that could keep up with me, yeap, a SMARTphone)

e) A holiday with college friends

f) Organise a course wide party (come on now, we’ve been in college for almost 4 years and no one ever thought of that?)

g) Decide my future. So many paths, which am I going to take?

Until the next time I feel stressed out, toodles!

Memorable quotes:

Before heading to Badminton:

Oi, where do you think you’re going?

Badminton.

You sure you want to go? Your job all finish already?

Yeaps, All done, there, all on my table.

Dude, we gotta take this one, he got balls.

Half drunk at a bar:

Hey, I gotta ask you something. It’s nothing personal but I always get random curious questions.

I’m not gay.

WOAH! WTF?!

Yeah, I read minds. Also that’s also in my FAQ.

Polygamist conversation over lunch:

It’s human nature to be polygamist.

I like how you think. I read in the newspaper this morning, Charlie Sheen wants to marry BOTH his girlfriends.

Oh? Which one?

Erm, the adult film actress.

You mean a porn star?

Yeah, I was trying to be politically correct.

You’ll do good. LOL

Hello you!

2011-02-13T01:01:00.003+08:00

Hey! Woah! I think I should do some spring cleaning around here! Phew! Superbly not maintained!

1^st up, I should prolly get rid of the spam filled chatbox over there -------------------------à

Damn you mindless spammers who prolly will lead to some pornsite should I click on their links. Seriously tho, where the heck didja find me bots?

Next up, if you’ve been wondering what’s been happening to me, you would prolly get disapointed with this post, because I have no intention of telling you people. It’s private yo!

But yeah, I guess a quick update on myself would be sufficient for you hungry stalkers out there! (If I actually have one) (and if I DO have some, you guys should get some help, not even famous, not yet at least)

So as previously mentioned currently interning in Edelam KL. I have to say, college, handwritten work and real life experience cannot compare at all. It’s a whole new world out there. I mean sure, the theories are there, the so called ‘guidelines’ are there. But when you try to apply it, amn you’re sure in for a treat! It’s a normal 9-5 office job. Or so I thought it was. I mean, it was like that for the first two days. But after that, let’s just not go there. A quote from one of my colleague ‘Until now, I have no idea what use learning trigonometry for’

All in all, I’m kinda excited to see what lies ahead. What awaits this little journey of mine, and what challenges I’m going to face. I’ll be there taking all challenges head on. Maybe at times I’ll come home bruised and battered, maybe at times I won’t even go home (please don’t be true), maybe at times I’ll get so beaten up I’ll go home and sit in a corner out of misery, but I’ll be damn sure I’ll go back and kick the ass outta the challenges ahead. J

Until then, stay awesome, I’m Alvin and you’re reading some loads of bullcrap. Toodles!

I believe, D'oh.

2011-01-12T01:17:00.001+08:00

Heya stalkers!

So it’s been a few days since the last exam. Good news! I wasn’t barred for Moral & Etika, not until the last 2 hours before the exam anyways, talk about close calls.

And that would only mean, yes, I’m more than halfway past the examinations. Hallelujah!

Next up, PR Models, erm, the title’s way longer than that, but I kinda forgot what the full title is and I’m too lazy to scoot over to the bag just so I can complete a blog post for a bunch of people who I may or may not know. PR Model, have to say by far the toughest subject for the semester. 9 journals to read and I haven’t touched one, not surprising, but that’s another story.

What do I think about the other 4 subjects? Well, they’re kinda hard as well.

Moral & Etika – I’m a chainese who can speak considerably good Malay, I don’t think it’ll give me much trouble

Statistics – I’m a chainese.

English for Communication- I’m a chainese who can’t speak any chainese.

Cyber Law – I have no idea what does being a chainese has anything to do with this paper. But yeah, seems ok to me.

Man, for being a self proclaim anti-racist person I sure use the word chainese a lot. Lol

So if you haven’t heard, I got into Edelman (Yay me!) along with Chee Kun. Which kinda means I’ll get to meet him for about 3 months every single day. Don’t know whether it’ll be good or bad, but I’m gonna find out fer sure!

Also, I have been staying over at Kuok Zhen’s house for a few days now. Motorcycle sure is faster than the bus. We’ve been having study groups all night long.

We here includes : Erica, Kah Chun, Casey, Li June and Shi Qi.

Notice that KZ and me wasn’t included there? I think we’re considered more of a nuisance than a group study member. HOWEVER! There are times where the both of us do pick up our notes and cram some info in our brains. So we’re not totally hopeless, thank god. J

I have to say, living with a bunch of your friends could be kinda fun at times, most of the times. Speaking of living some where, I do not wish to live anywhere else but my own place. No, not gonna provide the address here, invasion of privacy la like that. My place rocks, I’ll not leave. And I believe, as I always do, believe that they can protect us like always. Even if you can’t, I know you’ve tried your best and I’d understand everything. I’m 21 this year yo.

I less than three you guys. All of you. <3

Attending Interviews 101

2011-01-04T23:57:00.004+08:00

Heya mateys! Pirate talk much? Nope, not really. Arrr ya ready kids? I can’t herr yiuuu! Hu lives in a pinapal udder the see?

Erm, enough stupid talk. So if you’d pay more attention to the previous post I did say something about judgement day, not in the end-of-the-world-apocolyptic way, but the day where judgement is passed. OK, does sound like end of the world, but whatever.

So after a day running around college, from the Exams Division to Q Block to TBR to other parts of college I didn’t mention. OK, maybe just those two, but it was back and forth ok!

Sidetracked, anyways. Turns out the REAL judgement day, again, not the end of the world, is on Wednesday, which is one day before the paper. Great. More drama. Now I don’t even know whether to read on that paper or not! Mind you I’m still tryna keep a positive thinking here. I mean, most of my friends are already unbarred, so I expect the same for me. But then again, one can never be too sure, so I expect the worst.

Imagine me, being barred. What will it do to my wonderful records? On the way to Edelman, had to repeat a subjet pulak. OK, now it does sound a lil bit like the end of the world. My world at least. No, not gonna kill myself, D’oh. But still there goes bright future Alvin.

Back here to the post.

Interview Lessons 101

Got an interview to attend? Not sure what to do? Well, here’s some guidelines on what to and what not to do.

Be awesome! Wear whatever that makes you most comfortable. No I’m not talking about that worn out boxers that you wear around the house. I mean, wear some formal interview looking clothes that you’ll pass by your reflection and go ‘Hey, who’s that awesome looking guy?’ Yes, you.

Arrive earlier before your interview. Common sense right? Yeah, you can read about all these in more serious guides. So why? Because you never know what’s gonna happen. I mean for me, I personally have a syndrome or more of a curse. Whenever I have something important to do, my stomach go grumbling. We’re not talking about the hungry grumbling here OK. Let’s leave it there.

You’re at the place fer your interview. You wait your turn and crap! You’re starting to freak out! Well, have no fear! Visit yer nearest toilet and take some deep breath, just make sure no one made any business there before hand. Else, your deep breath is gonna stink. You could die from the stink, but that’s another guide of course. How to Take Deep Breath in a Stinky Environment without Dying.

It’s your turn! So the interviewer asks you a series of question. And here comes the hard question. One problem. You have no idea what the interviewer is talking about. Easy, 1^st, you need to get quite a fast brain. You need to be a BS-er (refer to previous guides on BullShitting 101). Then you got to take a long pause (I’d say 5 secs would do) and say ‘Well’ very long, like this : ‘Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll’ And given all these time come out with the most crappiest BS you’ve got,be sure to include jargons. Also end it with a smile. The interviewer usually wouldn’t even notice it. But then again, if it’s something the really know about, then you’re screwed. Refer BullShitting 101.

Finally, during the interview, do not, I repeat due to the sense of seriousness here, DO NOT, EVER, NOT EVEN ONCE. Fart. But if you do! Keep quiet about it. And pray hard none of them smells it. If they do! Then you’re kinda screwed. Just don’t laugh and pretend that it’s not you. Keep on denying it! There might be a way to put the blame on someone else, but fer that you gotta purchase my future book, Fart Psychology

Disclosure : I hereby claim that I take no responsibility of whatever result of your interview. The guides are here for my own ranting and my own only. But if you do find it, erm, somewhat, helpful, then by all means compliment me. Drop me a comment on the post!

Adios amigos! (Does Amigo apply for both genders?)

EDIT : Due to some misunderstanding that might have occurred for point 5. I would like to clarify, I DID NOT FART DURING THE INTERVIEW. I was speaking metaphorically, d'oh. Even if I did I wouldn't tell it to the world would I?

Happy New Year, 2011

2011-01-02T19:44:00.001+08:00

Woah, it’s been exactly 1 month since the last post. Things has really gotten messy around here. So many overdue posts that I decided to just scrapped them all together.

On another note, it’s the new year now. So, HAPPY NEW YEAR! May the start of the second decade of the second millenium be as awesome if not awesome-r than the previous!

So finals are coming up. Tomorrow’s kinda like Judgement Day. I really hope AELE 3113 Moral & Etika appears on my exam slip, or else it’s something like the end of the world. The one day after tomorrow should determine something about the future. Edelman, here I come! I hope I don’t disappoint myself there. Usually am good in interviews, but this one is on a whole new level. I pray to the interview gods that everything goes well and that I don’t embaress myself there. Right after would be the last study break we have before finals. The line up? Moral& Etika, Statistics, English for Communication, Cyber Law, PR Models.

Looks like a busy start to the new year eh?

So let’s get back to resolutions. Every year I’d come up with a reflection on last year and what to expect in the new year. Since I haven’t reflected yet, that should come next post. (if I don’t decide to scrap that as well)

Resolution 2011.

1. Driver’s License! OMG long overdue Alvin! Should be getting by February 2011 (Yes, with a deadline this time)

4.0 GPA. Because CGPA is outta the question since my last result.
Go back to recording expenses. (I have my old phone with me now, so shouldn’t be a problem)
Make use of all opportunities thrown at me and don’t give up.
Enter a debate competition and at least win a round.
Play less Facebook games.
Spend less time on Facebook.
Get a girlfriend maybe? (the single life is fun, but yeah maybe I’ve been single a little too long)
Know more people, make more friends, be nicer to people.
Save money, end the year with 1k in the account. (make that 500, more achievable)
Go back to jogging and working out.
Gain more weight!

And that’s about it, for now. Until then, wish me luck! Have an awesome year ahead peeps.

Neu Yah?

2010-12-02T02:48:00.003+08:00

Soooo, there I was staying up until 7am in the morning, yeap, you heard right, 7AM, tryna finish up Mr Chuan's assignment and I looked at the time on the computer. The date was shown as well. I believe it's 30/11/10. Then it hit me! Tomorrow's December? What? December you say? Already?

And here I am complaining on how fast time flies. Well, not really complaining, just, sometimes I wish time just stands there, catching it's breath. All that flying must be tiring. :S

I looked thru whatever I wrote on January 2010, the New Year's post. It just occurred to me, have I achieved anything that I wanted?

HAVE YOU ACHIEVED YOUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS?

Here's what I wrote 11 months back :

1. Driver's license ( I got a 'L' license, so that counts)
2. 4 flats GPA (Let's not even talk about it)
3. Gain weight ( A few kilos, definitely better looking body now, no more ugly bones)
4. Spend more time with family (Half-half, Benjamin's growing. I guess the more adult he becomes the better I can relate to him)
5. Save money (Current Savings Account : 0.00 , nuf' said)
6. Go back to recording every single cent I spend. (Nope, didn't happen)
7. Keep a healthier lifestlye. ( For a few weeks, yes I did keep a healthy lifestyle)
8. Join a marathon. (Nope, didn't happen, kinda trained a lil bit for it tho)
9. Sleep earlier. OK, scrap that. (If you want to consider 7AM as early in the morning, then yes)

All in all, I guess half of it was achieved. So my year hasn’t been exactly a total failure. J

Current affairs :

Preparing a persuasive speech on, ‘Legalizing Prostitution’. Personally, I don’t really agree with it. But having chosen this as a topic would definitely be more interesting that ‘Why you should stop smoking’ or other equivalent boring topics. I might consider pasting the speech here. It makes sense the points and all.

Also, trying out for Parlimentary Debate on ‘Perpaduan Kaum’. Apparently Ms Chew Wei Wei (Moral & Etika lecturer) (Yes, I’m taking Moral subjects) (No, please don’t ask why) decided to put my name up for this debate. That’s what you get for constantly being a nuisance in class I suppose. But come on, deep down, you know you lecturers LOVE having me in them. Your classes would be rather boring without the class clown. So I auditioned this evening with a Mr Wong. He seemed impressed. I don’t know at my ability to crap on a topic I was given 10 minutes on or the fact that I speak fluent Malay. Either way, the ‘judges’ seemed impressed. I nailed it. I was sure it was in the beg.

They didn’t call me. I didn’t make the call backs. L

Speaking of Ms Chew, I got barred from Moral& Etika! Wtf?! That’s the first time ever! And I only skipped the class 4 times. This number actually includes lecture classes as well! Argh!

Bullshitting 101

2010-11-27T00:08:00.001+08:00

Hi people, don’t we always see a pattern? Seems like everytime I’m busy with exams or assignments is where the blog has constant updates. Awesome no?

So I just got off typing a sentence on my Literature Review, yeah, a sentence. I seem to stop at every sentence and then continue to Facebook or something.

On another note, I found an interesting app recently. It’s called Graffiti, where you can really draw Graffiti on your friend’s wall. So if you’re a good enough stalker, you’d see some of my work. My personal favourite? The Dragon, D’oh!

While I’m here, might as well type something up. Take it as warming out for these fingers of mine. Today’s post is : Bullshitting 101

Yeap, that’s right! Today, you lucky stalkers are going to learn the art of bullshitting. If you’ve been staring at me in classes or anywhere for that matter, you’d see me speaking a lot of things confidently. Well, to be honest almost 87.6% of the time, I have no idea what I’m talking about.

Lesson 1 : Despite all the others have said, bullshitting works.

Lesson 2 : Bullshitting works almost all the time, the secret? Look confident in whatever you do. In fact, the more you talk about something without repeating things, the better or the more believable it gets.

Lesson 3 : When bullshitting, never, never stutter, say ‘Errr’ or smile coyly. This gives things away. Don’t do it.

Lesson 4 : While lesson 1 and 2 tells us that BS works, this lesson teaches you where it does not. Never, I repeat, NEVER, BS in front of someone who actually knows very well about the subject that you’re talking about. This may work on some lecturers, but the smart ones, if you try on them, you better pray you’ve been kissing up on them enough.

Let’s take an example. For the current Lit Review that I have to do, our lecturer is Mr Chuan. Now he may appear laid back and all, but the dude really knows what he’s talking about. No matter how confident you may seem in presenting your points, if it’s BS, he’ll sniff it out.

Lesson 5 : Quit while you’re ahead. When you’ve gotten away with BS, please don’t pursue the matter any further, unless of course the BSee enquires further on the subject. If that’s the case, make sure you spin a nice web of stories that’ll get you sidetracked into another subject.

Lesson 6 : Whenever possible, relate the BS subject to subjects you know about.

Lesson 7 : Statistics works. Not even joking. About 76.8% of my BSes use stats and even if it seems ridiculous, it works.

And there’s plenty more BS tips, but we’ll leave you to explore the wonderful world of BSing to yourself ayte. I’m not here to spoonfeed you, you got your mom to do that. (Besides, if I continue further my fingers wouldn’t have the energy to do the assignment)

Toodles!

Happy Monday!

2010-11-23T01:47:00.003+08:00

OK, so I've been reading journals after journals lately, so much it's really disgusting. No really, not even joking.

A few more weeks to go and whatdya know? December already. What's on December you say? Well, the holiday season, D'oh! We've got Christmas, we've got New Year's Eve, we've got New Year's Day and a whole lot of other holidays that I can't think of right now.

On second thought, there isn't much to do on holiday seasons anymore to be honest. Gone are the party days where people get wasted at some party, laughing, talking, gambling the night away. My point here is, 'DUDE! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS MAN?' So yeah, friends aren't here in Malaysia. Friends that I usually celebrate holidays with anyways. So maybe, just maybe I should start hanging out with the college mates. I do enjoy their company after all. :)

Let's throw a party! I'll bring the drinks! Or share some KFC or whatever. (whatever that's easier for me)

Now that I've done some ranting, should be going back to journal reading. But firrrrst! A song, because it's Monday. And because I haven't been updating much anyways. I still can't figure out why Blogger doesn't colour my words like they use to. So I've gotta transfer things to Microsoft Word, colour them, then paste it here. A bother really, but it has colours!

Spiderman-Michael Buble

Yeaps, Spiderman, Jazz style baby!

How to Finish up your Assignments! A Step by Step Guide

2010-11-15T23:49:00.005+08:00

Sigh, I'm reallly worried about my assignments here. No. Seriously. Not even joking. =(

So I'm blogging to get me to start typing. And then to start reading all the journals. There's really so much to do that I don't know where to start. I've come up with a step by step guide for myself on how to do this assignment.

Step 1 : Google 'How to write a Literature Review

Step 2 : Read journals

Step 3 : Open Microsoft Word and stare for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4 : Go down and find something to get your mind off the assignment.

Step 5 : Continue staring at the blank Microsoft Word page.

Step 6 : Chat with a few people and find out how to complete the assignment.

Step 7 : Continue chatting with the said person for nearly an hour (or more) on things not related to Literature Review.

By this time is should be somewhere near 3-4AM. This is where you'll start to get panicked.

Step 8 : Log in to Facebook and complain on your status update (Twitter would do fine too)

Step 9 : Your Farmville, Treasure Isle, Cafe World, Chronicles of Blood etc etc energy should have been refilled by now. Use it.

Step 10 : Panic stricken you finally gather yourself together and sit in front of the computer with nothing on the other tabs but journals.

Now this is where it gets hard. The following steps will determine whether you'll produce a good assignment, a sucky one, or none at all. You'll be confronted with just about 2 to 3 choices. The choice that you make will make it OR break it.

Step 11 : Pull yourself together and start stomping your fingers on the keyboard.

At this point, congratulations my friends, you've achieved a state of trance where you'll probably continue finishing the assignment. Simply put it, you're on a roll. At this point, it is advisable to NOT stop at any point (yes, this includes even if someone is sending you an IM on MSN, Skype etc etc, or if your energy bar is already refilled. Forget it, you should've done that on Step 9)

Step 12 : Congratulations! You've completed the assignment. Now, by this time it should be around 5-6AM. To reward yourself, you may now skip the following class, except for the class where you need to hand in the assignments. Should you want to skip that as well, make sure you've communicated your intention to your groupmates and settled the printing and hand in arrangements.

So that is how it's done. This, is not how it's done.

Step 11 : You've decided to ask for your friend's help. By help here it means you've asked for their assignment as 'sample'. This is a dangerous state. At a state of brain dead-ness you'll be very tempted to take a 'few' paragraphs from your friend's assignment. DON'T GIVE IN.

Step 12 : You've copied your friend. You hand in your assignment with guilt on your chest. You got the results. Turns out your friends didn't know what they were doing as well. You regretted your decision. TOO LATE.

But at least you HAD an assignment to hand in right? Under any circumstance, this should not happen.

Step 11 : You've tried your best. You think you're done for. De-motivated, you decide to lay your head down the pillow to rest your mind while you figure out what's next.

Step 12 : You woke up, late for class. Missed the deadline. Might as well be dead. Might want to ask from your lecturer an extension, which they would doubly give. YOU'RE SCREWED!

OK! So those are the few possibilities. Now that I've practiced typing endlessly on the keyboard, let's pray outcome 1 is for me. Most people will settle for outcome 2. But please, don't go for outcome 3.

Here are some random pictures from my phone. Now that I have at least a simple mean to upload them. Aaaand! It also makes good posts. I think.

I want to watch The Social Network so badly. I didn't know that the movie's out. Sigh, thank god for the Internet!

View from Perhentian Islands

Caramel Machiato, took a shot before serving it. Lol

Some river in Raub. Mandi sungai after panjat pokok plucking fruits = Awesomeness.

KLCC with a sucky phone camera? Ta-Da!

E.T. Seriously.

I have more pictures! But I'll save some for some other time. =)

College has been pretty carefree. Things are about to take a 180 Degree turn tho. Deadlines are looming. And I won't start until sometime 2 days before the deadline. I love the adrenaline. Procrastination is not only my middle name, it's my first and last name as well. Yeap, my name reads : Procrastination Procrastination Procrastination.

Not even joking.

That's like my newest catch phase. Why you might ask. Well, for one, Awesome! is well, awesome! but since everybody is kinda using it now, it's not so awesome! anymore. It's just normal now, this case is so serious, I'm dropping it as my favourite word. Not even joking.

Hey'all!

So I guess I haven't been updating much lately. Also, I see that I haven't been doing any reviews of late. I have a few things that I could write about. Maroon5's Hands All Over was a good listen, so is Bruno Mar's Doo Wops and Hooligans. But what I really wanna rview right now is, drum roll please!

500 Days of Summer.

Did I hear a whatafark? Yeap, you heard no wrong! 500 Days of Summer. This was prolly a long forgotten movie, but what the heck! I haven’t watched it back then, and I finally did now, so let’s do a review on that. On a side note, thanks @Rachel Vijayan for the movie.

Back on the review, I have to say, this movie is soooo under rated. Like seriously, this is one of the well composed movie I’ve seen. It’s a story about a boy meets girl, but a story like none other. I couldn’t agree more to that. It starts of with a naration of these 2 individuals, Tom and Summer. See, Tom was a hopeless romantic, he’s the one who sees ‘The One’ and stuff like that. Summer on the other hand was the sceptical, the Non Believer if I’d say so myself. They were quite the opposite people. Early in the show, it introduces us the characters and heck, they even show the end of the show at the very beginning. Anyways, from the start, we all know what’s gonna happen to the both of them, they’ll ge together and they’ll be breaking up. It starts with a ring on Summer’s finger, one would assume they’ll get married, eventually. WRONG!

So the show doesn’t really show the stuff in a chronological order, which is rather the type of show I like. I like to see the middle parts, the end, the beginning, all jumbled up making my mind think in some twisted way. Heck, I even planned to write a book that way, refer to previous post. =)

So basically the show is about 500 days from the 1^st day Tom met Summer. His transition from a Hopeless Romantic, to eventually the Non Believer. There is never such thing as fate, the one, the right person, true love and love at first sight. One cannot help but wonder what ‘Love’ means at a certain point. Things take a twisted turn when the Non Believer turn the Hopeless Romantic. So Summer agreed, eventually that Tom was right about love, the Hopeless Romantic, but what he was wrong about was her. Then came Autumn....

The ratings?

8/10 For originality, running away from the cliche chick flicks. Also note that the show was filled with great tunes that could qualify as an album on their own. I can’t help myself but smiling everytime I see Tom and Summer together. The actor could’ve been more expressive tho. But I think playing that part that way works quite well too. Zoey Deschannel is awesome.

*achoo*

Here are some random facts about me!

1. I have an extremely sensitive nose. I sneeze when it's dusty.

2. Speaking of nose, if I'd HAVE TO (Note : caps) go for plastic surgery, I'd do a nose job.

3. When I capitalize 'Have to' it was because I kinda despise anything artificial on me. eg: Hair colour, coloured eye lens even when my eyes needs no corrective lens (I know! Mengada dowh!), glasses without lenses (seriously, what use is that?), fake accents etc etc.

4. I write, I dream of writing, but I never complete a work before. I can only dream of doing so.

5. I get sidetracked as fast as you can spell sidetracked. Also a reason for number 4.

6. The few books that I'd like to write are

a) Fart Psychology (Not joking, it'll be CSI, telling people who to determine who farts, what type of fart and other superbly funny shitz)

b) How to be Friends with Alvin (OK, maybe not this one. But if I get famous, it should be a biography then)

c) A puzzle book, love story, chick lit all combined into one. It'll be like a torn diary with pages all over the place, as in not in chronological order. I don't think people get it with this explanation, but it's gonna be awesome. I assure you!

d) A compilation of poems I might have written. =P

7. My birthday was 3 days ago. I wish for quick recoveries. A lot has happened a couple of days ago.

8. My favourite number is 3 and 7. I don't know why. It has been so since I was a fetus.

9. I ran out of random facts of myself. Maybe some other time.

Next up : Some random shitz on Fart Psychology. Birthday wishes. My birthday. News. College stuff.

ECOnnect

2010-09-29T00:08:00.004+08:00

A very long over due post, but if you've been stalking enough, or if you hung around me. You'd prolly hear me blabber about this campaign that we're doing (we've done). ECOnnect's the name.

Before I go on further, this name does not make any references to the male sexual organ whatsoever. It's a recycling campaign unlike no other. We don't just recycle, we recycle phones *side effect : Ouuuuuu*

Yeaps, so basically that was what my job was in the whole event. Me and a bunch of carefully selected individuals were assigned with one of the most adventurous and challenging assignment ever, the publicity of ECOnnect. So basically we're supposed to make this sound good so that you'll come for the event. Or somewhere along the lines.

Hehehe, alright alright, that sounded a lil too fiction no? It's nothing much actually, the structure's pretty simple. There's the Advisor, Ms Lim Siz Siz followed by the 8 departments led by 8 clueless individuals who were pushed/volunteered/picked/voted to lead the said departments. There's the Sponsorship and Advertising (SAD), Security and Maintainance (S&M), Exhibition, On Stage, Activities, Media Relations and Editorial (MRE), Publicity and Promotions (P&P), last but definitely not least Creative and Design (C&D).

Here's the leadership team :

Top [L-R] Sebastian Ooi (Exh), Tan Chee Kun (On Stage), Itzmir Heman (SAD)

Middle [L-R] Ginger Tan (S&M), Alvin Kiang (P&P), Hazel Chee (Act)

Bottom [L-R] Renee Wong (C&D), Miss Lim (Adv), Joyce Chew (MRE)

And here's the chosen few who stick together till the very end! We even had our very own departmental BBQ session, but more on that sometime later.

Top [L-R] Ooi Lik Wen (Asst), Lim Kuok Zhen (MP), Christina Ng (C), Asther Lee (S)

Middle [L-R] Chloe Hui (C), Joan Kok (S), Wenddi Teng (MP), Poh Lee (A), Becky Lim (C)

Bottom [L-R] Kaylin Lee (S), Xiao Ying (C), Miss Lim, Hazel Loh (MP), Alvin Kiang (L)

MP: Media Placement C : Creative and Writing S: Data and Survey A: Accounts

There's really nothing much to post about the event. Too many to be honest, so I'd rather not blabber on that. I'd rather use the energy of my ailing fingers to type out a few nice words on the event and the people as a whole. Maybe a pictorial later on for the event.

All in all, the people I worked with, the P&P team, my department, is a bunch of people that I'd choose over and over again should the opportunity arises. My job was to lead these people, but there weren't much to lead anyways. You're the bestest group of people I could work with and I couldn't have wished for a better team than you guys. Among all the other departments, we were one of the few groups that has no conflict whatsoever. Working with you guys was a privilege.

Also not to forget the leadership crew that spent hours, tirelessly staying back for COD, errr, I mean meetings after meetings with people to get all the job done. We've been thru obstacles after obstacles but none that you cannot jump over. Kudos. I think Imma miss those weekly meetings with Ms Lim now.

Special thanks to those who I forget to mention here, you know who you are. Yeap, you. =) (Always works as an insurance if you forgot someone's name)

And to every single one of APR1, well done! ECOnnect has bonded us like never before. Now for the second event! (Just kidding, let's take a break) 1st October is doomsday for some and Christmas for others. Yeap. You've guesses right. Results day!

Good Luck and Nice to Meet you again APR1! Happy 2nd semester!

Call Age?!?

2010-09-27T21:36:00.007+08:00

All I knew was I blinked and three weeks have gone by just like that. That was kinda fast. People say time flies when you're having fun. I think it's just a saying. Time flies just as fast when you're not.

Anyhoo, if you're wondering what I did this whole semester break, let's just say it could all be written out in a sentence ayte? Which kinda explains the MIA status in the blog. OK, I was lazy, but it the laziness was due to the nothingness I've been doing. So yeah, the MIA status ain't from being lazy.

I've been observing some of my friends lately. Most of them used this word in their conversation nowadays, 'true that'. I'm thinking this could be some sort of a new trend that people come out with. It's the same as 'Wazzza!', 'Ayte?', 'Woooots!'. Right right right? If you're nodding and saying 'True that' somewhere behind your head, well, just proves me right doesn't it? =)

Other than that, I can proudly say I can say out the whole lyrics of 'Love the Way you Lie' by Eminem ft Rihanna without referring to any notes of whatsoever. Jessie thinks it's gay, but seriously? How can rapping about domestic violence be gay? Read : Say out instead of rapping. I also found out I kinda suck at rapping. LOL.

So there are somethings that we did while I was having the semester break. If you stalkers didn't stalk enough, the brother from another mother, Kevin came back for a brief appearance in Malaysia. And by brief I mean 3 months or so. Also, if you think like 'Oh! Kevin's back? Cool I should go visit him sometime.' Well, tough luck, the dude went back U to the K last week. I miss him already, now that Wai Sheng's in Singapore, Kevin's back in the UK, Jessie and Steph went all the way Down Under, there's no transport for late night outings anymore. Unless of course I learn how to drive. But I don't think that would be an option. On the bright side, I (finally) asked the driving school, whatever you call it, about the fees and all. That's gotta be considered step 1 right?

How would I sum up the holidays?

The Ace of Spades, you can go no higher than this.

Moodless. Vacation please. Sleep timetable screwed. Not joking.

OK, maybe a bit.

I miss talking non sense. I want to go to college.

wtf!? Scratch that. Happy Holidays people! =D

Finals 1st Semester 2010

2010-08-28T17:21:00.003+08:00

Hello peeps,

Finals 2010, 1st Semester, being me, naturally I have to have a post complaining how I should be studying and not typing this out. Anyhoos, 2 papers have passed, Event Management and also Communication Research Methods. How did I do? Have no idea, I should just see my grades and find out.

So next 3 papers are coming up. I usually spend my time arranging what I should be studying next and so on, but this time, the timetable's a lil bit packed. An exam every alternate day. Damn it. I want to go out. I want to have fun. I want to sleep. Oh well, on the bright side, just 6 more days to go then. Silver lining. Awesome.

Next up, Happy 20th Birthday Yeunis Pang!

Yuenis Pang - known to be a natural 'hugger' in APR, I feel somewhat at home. People do not give enough hugs in TARC.

- known to study vigorously in weeks coming to exams.

- known to give people stress when sitting next to her during exams

- known for her kind personality and yet very guillable attitude

- known for being a GREAT FRIEND.

Have fun in your finals! =)

Cakes

2010-08-23T03:03:00.004+08:00

My favourite cake is BlackForest. But then again, it's hard to ignore the delightful taste of Tiramisu. At the same time, there's also Chocolate Tuxedo where you indulge yourself with rich amount of chocolate. There are also the cupcakes! Sweet and rich with frostings and filled with happiness.

I can't have them all. I'll be diabetic. At the same time, I can't ignore them at all. I could go at them one at time, on a different day. Slowly, but surely. But I must choose one as my ultimate favourite, yes, ultimate. It's a necessity! It's a matter of life and death!

Of course the easiest choice would be to ignore the body and succumb to the mouth. Eat them all and be happy. But I know it doesn't work that way. One flavour would overpower the other, and that particular flavour would be overpowered by something else and the cycle goes on. In the end of the day, no flavour wins. The only loser is me. Greed and gluttony. Two of the seven deadly sins. Remember the story about the dog, the bone and his reflection?

In the end of the day, while I still can enjoy other cakes occasionally. I still have to pick one that I like the most, the flavour that I'll choose 70% of the time I'm at the cake shop.

I still haven't chose my favourite kind.

Choices. We don't need them. Do we?

2010-08-19T02:30:00.003+08:00

ECOnnect's post will be postponed. Did I hear a distant 'Awwwww' in the audience? No? Prolly not. Anyways, the reason?

IT'S NOT FREAKING OVER DAMN IT!

Gosh, and here I sit typing out this post naively thinking that I could finally relax, sleep 12 hours a day. Just when you thought it's over, it hits you right back in your face, and other painful places.

Quote 'OMG, when is the event ever going to be done and over with?' Sebastian

But that isn't really what the post is about. Choices. Do we really need them? Have you ever been in a situation where you drive by a full parking lot and when a car finally moves out, you spotted it and drove right in, no questions asked. Not considering how far is it to the elevator or how smelly the place is. You're just thankful it's there.

Now situation B, the car park's empty. You have so many choices but it took you 5 times longer to choose where to park compared to situation A. Why? Humans, they are always spoilt for choice. Serious.

That being said. Choices, too much for me. Yeaps, the whole lecture, wall of text led to this 3 words. Too much choices.

Anyhoos, I should save this for next Monday, but here's

Low Million's Statue.

Without you, I've been standing here just like a statue.

Lying on the floor thinking about you, Talk to myself like the crazies do.

Otherwise, I'm great. What about you?

Look into my eyes,

I can't be standing there just like a statue,

Laugh it off myself like the crazies do,

I'm weak, what about you?

Oh btw, sorry for the lame vid. I can't find a proper one to embed. So yeah, vid looks kinda cool at times. Until some random dude shows up. The girl's pretty natural tho. Chuz!

Awesome Friends!

2010-08-16T02:02:00.003+08:00

I've been very free lately, so free, I've been constantly having posts around here. I think I should start studying, I should.

But anyhoos, I was missing the past few days. Was at Port Dickson, something like a second home already. Been there wayyy too many times. On another note, don't you just love it when everything's changing but yet some things remains just as you remember it? The bungalow I've been staying since I was a toddler(OK,maybe I was exaggerating) still looks exactly how it was in my mind. Awesomeness.

Not everything's sweet fond memories tho. I feel into the drain while walking outta the bungalow. Damn it. Now I have ugly scarred legs. Not that I really care actually, so long as I wear jeans or long pants for the following week or 2, I should do fine. =)

I have very good friends. The moment I said I feel into the ditch, 21 people liked my status and 2 dozens comments on in. I feel so. . . . .precious.

I don't know whether it's visible or not. Whatever la.

It's Monday! There's been talks about falling stars lately, no, not Airplanes (please stop playing the song, you're ruining it) but the ones that Kenneth ditched me for. Yeah, the recent ones.

Stars- Switchfoot.

Adios!

High School Memories!

2010-08-13T00:00:00.005+08:00

I feel very much into blogging now days. Might be due to the fact I'm avoiding them pesky assignments. Should be typing out the event report now. Due date: 6pm tomorrow.

But anyways, as mentioned previously, high school pictures. High School was prolly the best years of my life. (but then again, I've only existed in this world 2 month short of 2 decades) (Hint, read: My birthday's in 2 months time) In the best High School ever, St John Institution, bonds were shared, friends we made, brotherhoods formed, girls flirted, enemies faught, clubs joined, leadership built, exams cheated, class skipped and a whole load of other bull crap. I'd jump at the opportunity given the chance the relive the moment where everyone met everybody everyday the same place, the same time.

But enough of jiwang-ness, let's take a look at the pictures. I didn't believe I was cute until now. Lol, not joking.

The cover worthy picture.

The lala phase, naw, just joking. Never had the lala phase, thank god.

The close up. I had a chubby face! =D

These 2 people were with me through Primary 1 till Form 5. I've known them three quarters my life. 0.0.

QiKit, we were Form3.

With Paula Malai Ali at Istana Budaya.

I was flexible! Chew and his akido demonstrations.

Drama Form3, didn't even qualify for the finals. Came back with a vengence!

We grew up being better looking than this, Kevin and I.

Drama Form4 at CBN, we pawned people!

Tay, Chew, Apples and I.

I lost my chubby face, Form4 with Soh's bold hair cut.

I studied! A cover worthy picture too!

Wooot woooots! A blast from the past! Nyways, gotta go mandi and finish up the report. Nights people!

Convocation!

2010-08-11T00:16:00.004+08:00

I have some free time now! Yes, I actually know what it means to walk around aimlessly again, yay me! Did all presentations and (kinda) settled everything for ECOnnect. I can't help feeling like a scapegoat, well, our whole department entirely. Feels like everything's blamed towards Publicity and Promotions.

ie: Why is there so little people? Publicity&Promotions.

Why is there so little phones recycled? Publicity&Promotions.

Why is it raining outside? Publicity&Promotions. (LOLOL!)

We managed to get 259 phones from the event alone, a quite remarkable feat considering that we only collected 10 phones on the 1st day of the 3 day event. (you don't see anybody blaming Publicity&Promotions for the drastic increase of attendance and phones recycled do you? Oh yeah, cause it's a team effort on the good parts)

So anyways, enough ranting on that, we did have a great time as the members of Publicity&Promotions Department. Awesomely led by yours truly, tho I didn't need to 'lead' much. We're pretty much of a laissez-faire group. Not much in need of leading around, just need an acting head to look good, me. =P

OK, I got side tracked as usual, as the post title goes, here are some pictures from the (not so) recent Diploma In Public Relations Convocation Ceremony 2009/2010.

Just in case ye don't know what convocation is, (I find it kinda surprising, but not many does know) it's a ceremony where people officially celebrate being a graduate. Yes, it also means sometimes you might feel you've been transported to Hogwarts.

Pictures as promised! Too bad I can't upload pictures from my phone or the pictures I took with Mom and Dad. =(

The set-up

Aaaaaand fast forward a few pictures, after the ceremony

Why was it so dark in here? We're in the hall. Reason?

It was raining heavily outside. =(

I don't know what we're doing here. I don't even know why I posted this. =S

No one can be cuter at her age, Chen Yee. =)

Always with manicured fingers, Yvonne

Snow White was my first impression, Sue San

Smart people, Ivy, Becky and Ooi

Chen Yee's pictures are worth posted twice, cause of the level of cuteness involved. =P

Yeahhhh, it was raining. We didn't get the chance to take enough pictures together. I missed out a whole load of people. Everyone was cramped up inside the hall trying to get out.

People that I've missed out:

The guys, Kuok Zhen, Kah Chuin, Mainson, Wai Hong, Tack Wai, Han Yew, Chee Teck

The girls, Hazel Loh, Hazel Chee, Carmen Jang, Kenzie, Jessie, Steph.

And a huge group of other important people that I forgot to mention, you know who you are. =)

It was a bad day for convos, but still fun given the company that you receive.

Next up, something on ECOnnect. Toodles!

Moondancing

2010-08-09T02:23:00.003+08:00

Yee-Haw! So the event's over! Yeah, hell yeah, right? WRONG!

OMG, just when I thought everything is over, more to come. Kinda sick of this, very sick. But also glad that at least the event is done and over with. Imma post some pictures of the event here. (when I'm not too lazy that is)

Looking back a few kezillion posts (thanks to some recent events), I realized I don't sound as boring as I thought I was. So yay me! But then again, recent posts has been oh so boring, I fell asleep reading it. So Imma only post when I feel like writing. But since I don't feel like it now, Imma post some awesome music. It's a Monday!

So I loooove moondancing. Just a not so obscene way of saying something else. But seriously, recommend me some jazz songs please. Infectious!

Here's Micheal Buble's Moondance. I think I first heard it when I was like Standard 6. Yeap, wayyyyy back. Speaking of Standard 6, QiKit posted a few pics of us when we're in Form 3. Remind me to post a few pics from there. Enjoy the music!

TurnAround

2010-07-19T01:51:00.002+08:00

It's a Monday and all I do nowdays is post up music! Well, better than a dead blog right? Right.

So I want everyone to know that whenever you think that there's no turning back, that you've gone too deep in, you can always go 180 Degrees and TurnAround.

Lol, I don't know what I've just crapped, this song has nothing to do with what I said too. But here it goes anyways:

Turn around-Westlife.

Anyways, Week 10 is coming up. Week 11 where's the publicity starts on intense mode. Translate to, yes, I'm gonna be super busy, don't bother me. After that, event day. Then a phone fair for DiGi. Who knew by organizing one event for Nokia, we get to organize one more for DiGi too.

No, that isn't a good thing. I don't even know what I studied this whole semester. No, seriously. I don't know.

Here's something interesting that happened today. Convocation! Yeap, this is the time where old friends gather and catch up. Cept the fact that it was raining and we can't take much pictures with each other. And also there're 2 idiots who I want to take pictures with, loads of them, who didn't appear due to obvious reasons. Overall: Fun day. Could've been so much better without the rain. Pictures should be up soon enough.

Enjoy the music! Even if most of you think it's gay.

Confidence

2010-07-12T03:58:00.003+08:00

Dear Alvin,

Where have you been lately? I don't see this person much anymore. All I see now is a washed up dude who has been complaining and whining every single moment that he can find. Long gone was the charismatic egoistical maniac that is so confident that he thinks the world belongs to him. So what happened man?

There was a time where 1 hour before deadlines, this person was still logging on to Facebook doing retarded this such as playing retarded games. Now all he does is whine on how not enough time is given. Where is that vibrant young guy who compliments himself every single chance available?

So starting from today, I want you to find this handsome colourful promising young man and slap him in the face, then say 'Wake up, this is nothing, you're way better than this. The world belongs to you and one day you know you're going to take over it'. And if he slaps you back, smiles and say thank you, you know he's back.

Oh wait, did I just said 'handsome colourful promising young man' ? Lol, guess I am back after all! Cool! Take that life!

Adios, Alvin's back.

Not a Nerd!

2010-07-05T23:39:00.006+08:00

Joann complained that everything I post is about my assignments. I feel all nerdy right after. Grrrrr, the truth is, I'm not a nerd, Sarah is! Not me, nu'uh!

Soooo, what's been happening lately? Wellllll, I've been very busy with.... oh wait, I can't say that. Not in this post. Let's seeeee.

Oh! Went out a couple of times here and there.

Celebrated Chen Yee's Birthday, 6th June 2010.

Still the cutest girl ever seen. =)

We watched Shrek. Front row seats. Ribena looks like ET in here.

Sent off Theng on the 25th June 2010.

I'm so gonna miss you badly. Eventho I don't seem to have time to chat with you much because of, uh, unspoken reasons. And WHERE THE HECK ARE THE PICTURES? Pictures from the farewell party as well.

Then went on for Sue San's Birthday, 26th June 2010.

The actual date is supposedly 4th July 2010, but I think everyone's busy.

We're supposed to have more pictures that this one. Group pictures and such. Don't know what happened here. I think Sue thinks that the pictures are ugly and deleted all of them. LOL.

Had dinner recently with Jessie, Steph and the rest of the kampung. Pasta Zanmai. 2nd July 2010.

Here's a shot before leaving Steph's. I think we look, decent. =)

And at Zanmai.

And before going off.

Hmmmm. =(

That's about it. I wish I had more time for a proper update tho. Now more things to do.

Demoralized

2010-06-30T02:50:00.002+08:00

As the title goes. I'm kinda demoralized. Ever had that feeling when everything's just against you? Like, every. single. thing. Deadlines, midterms and assignments are coming in bulk and there isn't any sign of them slowing down. At all.

So what exactly am I doing here again? I'm taking this as a 'warm up' before I go on typing all 2250 words for the 1Malaysia (yes,again) assignment. Hazel and Carmen is taking care of other assignments. I think Joyce is doing the same too. Then there's the events to worry about. Itzmir been doing all the thinking and stuff. Our dept needs to improve on many fronts (tho I personally think we've been doing a good job so far) and midterms! Grrrr, why do we need midterms anyways?

Oh, unfamiliar names? Yeap, these are my new classmates. I'm not saying they're no good or anything. They're a fun (and perverted) bunch of people but I miss my old classmates. I miss Chee Teck, Chen Yee, Sue San. I miss all the others too but these 3 teammates especially. =(

Speaking of missing people. . . .Grrrrr. Let's not go there.

Fingers warmed up. And I'm good to go.

Time is running out!

2010-06-24T03:55:00.002+08:00

Yay us! Nokia's coming in a day. Less actually if you count them by hours. So we did a mock presentation with Miss Lim, we kinda sucked, so thank god that was a mock presentation. But the funniest part was this convo.

Miss Lim: I'm happy with your progress, this is 2 days before the meeting and you guys made wonderful progress.

Us : Wonderful progress?!

Apparently, this was still quite early, our seniors were wayyyy slower in showing their presentations and stuff.

Here comes another one.

Miss Lim: Alright, take a look at this slide. I made it during my spare time.

Me : Spare time?! WTF is that?! Where did you even find SPARE time?

Miss Lim : Time management.

That's all I got and I kept quiet after.

Time management eh? Let's take a look at that.

There's 24 Hours a day.

I'd say 4 Hours goes to doing stuff like eating and bathing.

2 more hours wasted on transportation.

About 6 for classes. (+2 for meetings)

Rest time, 4 hours gone. This would include online time.

Assignments, 3 hours.

3 Hours goes to sleeping.

Awesome, 3 hours of sleep.

Just Crush it!

2010-06-16T01:58:00.002+08:00

Hullo people! Event managing has been giving me a hard time, naw, not really. Lol. I just make it sound so hard so that I don't look like I'm doing nothing. Tee Hee.

But seriously tho, it's a stressful business. *serious face*

Anyways, here's something interesting.

Just Crush!

I don't know who did this, but you sir/madam, iz awesomez.

You don't want to be me.

2010-06-11T01:44:00.003+08:00

Life's kinda hectic right now. (see the pattern I was talking about,refer previous few posts)

College's life starting again, right after it ended. Yeap, the breaks didn't seem long at all. So here I am abandoning this blog yet again till the next time I feel bored, like now.

Event Management. One of the 5 subjects were taking this semester. So in this subject, we're kinda supposed to organize an event. We're supposed to be an event organizer with departments and stuff. Guess who's our client. NOKIA. Yeap, Nokia, cool no? Pressure, yes, fun, maybe, tiring, definitely!

So my days are currently filled with meetings after meetings. Once a week with our advisor, Ms Lim Siz Siz. Another one with our department. Then a few more with Team Awesome. Yeahhh, that's what we name ourselves. Ye are looking at the head of Publicity and Promotions here. Cool no? Too bad I'm totally clueless. But I think we've made progress.

On another note, something miraculous happened last night. It made my heart jump a beat. It made butterflies fluttering in my stomach (ye don't want to know how it got there).

Off I go. 6 hours from now, we might get a lil blasting about our ideas for publicity. Or we might get compliments. Either way, we RAWK!

Mondays!

2010-05-18T15:31:00.002+08:00

Mondays! OK, maybe not, but still, it was Monday the last 15 hours, give or take.

Anyways, I was in the car with Steph and she said something about a song that Demi Lovato sang. Something about being so emo with the expression and lyrics and all. I kinda forgotten about that song. What song? Demi Lovato- Don't forget. The irony. Lol.

I think I posted it in my blog long ago. Look back a hundred post back or so...

Here it is

Demi Lovato- Don't Forget.

Oh ya, on another not related note, I'm back from Perhentian! It waz awesome. I'm tanned. I'm bruised, battered and burnt, but I wouldn't have it any other way. =)

Look out for Penang post, yeah. I haven't forgotten. Don't forget. =)

Glitch?

2010-05-09T17:37:00.002+08:00

I tried posting and editing and stuff. The preview came up nice but the posted ones are huge and ugly. I have no idea how to fix the pictures from my previous post. To those who know why, please leave a comment here. I'll fix it right after Perhentian. Which kinda reminds me. I gotta go pack. =S

Ciaoz!

The Sand, The Beach, The Sun : Kuantan!

2010-05-09T04:00:00.008+08:00

Referring to the previous post, on my holiday season, Imma update you dear blog on my Kuantan trip.

First up, Special thanks to Carmen Chai for booking the wonderful wonderful (that's right two wonderfuls) resort at Swiss Garden Resort and Spa! I mean seriously. I never appreciate hotels more than this. Oh, there's also the one in Penang with Kit, Gurney Hotel and also the recent one with B3-rians at Paradise Sandy Beach Resort. Anyways, sidetracked as always, that's for a different post. Let's get back to Kuantan!

Also thanking Mi-Cel-Li for filling up this post with uploaded pictures. And everyone for making this an awesome trip. Yee-Haw.

I wish I could post pictures from my phone tho. That'll be great. I'll start off from the second day since Mi-Cel-Li only arrive then. Like all trips and functions, pictures (with, hopefully, funny captions babeh!)

Swiss Garden Resort and Spa. Awesome place.

The beach!

Sand buggy with people in it!

Ariel!

Kiddies with their sand toys! I miss the days where Kenneth and I made sand castles. =)

(Which reminds me, you still suck for not coming)

Digging for turtle eggs. We heard they have high value around these parts of the country.

Turtle eggs? Phail. We decided to bury me instead. Benjamin wanted to go till my neck. Yes, I get it, you want more online time. Shhhesssh.

Couzins. [R-L] Alvin-Awesome, Mi-Cel-Li, Carmen-I-Still-Don't-Know-How-To-Upload-Pictures-On-Facebook, and Always-Shorter-Than-Me-Rachel.

I love my jump shots. I think I'll create an album out of it one day. =)

Competition, who jumps higher. The basketball player or the older brother. Benjamin looks rockstar-ish tho. I like!

A lot of fish died. It has no eyes. We suspect a fish eye eating monster is lurking out there somewhere in the sea. Oh! And the fish is hard to penetrate. Thanks for reminding me that Mi-Cel-Li.

Deserts! Not just any dessert, a buffet dessert! Love the colours.

Note to self: When you see weird jelly-like substance that's pink. Trust your instinct (Don't eat it).

Sun Tanning Doesn't Cure Ugly. Plastic surgery would. Michelle should know. She's a big Korean fan. =)) (Still loving the irony. I ain't no hater)

And there goes Kuantan! Bye!

Holiday season.

2010-05-08T03:15:00.003+08:00

It's 3am today and if you haven't been hearing much from me whether via Facebook, Twitter, or Blogs, fret not. I haven't abandoned the online world yet. I still am responsible for my stalkers out there. I've just been on a holiday season. Was at Kuantan the week before and I just came home from Penang last night.

Today's gonna be a rest day before I pack for Perhentian. Then I'll prolly hibernate for a week or two before my body breaks into a kezillion pieces.

Just a quick update. The trips will be updated soon. Tomorrow-ish perhaps? If I'm not too lazy that is.

Nights people!

5AM

2010-04-29T04:59:00.003+08:00

Congratulations, Alvin Kiang has reached great heights! The nocturnal-ism has gone up a notch and I'm currently awake till 6AM. That brings a whole new meaning to my nocturnal behaviour.

Here's some random facts and crap that I've churned put during my activity time.

1. Alvin Kiang does not carry handbags. Period.

2. When picking up a phone call, always start with a "Hello" and end with a "Bye". It's only polite.

3. Alvin Kiang remembers, oh, I remember alright. Even when I pretend not to.

4. I have an extremely sweet tooth. Anything sweet is always edible.

5. I think I'll make a beautiful girl. Doesn't mean I want to be one, just saying I'm pretty.

6. I'm very, very vain. Refer point above.

7. I value friends dearly.

8. Benjamin is my favourite brother in the whole wide world. Yeap, he's also my only brother.

9. I secretly (OK, maybe not) believe I'm destined for great things in this world. Great things.

10. Awesome is one of my favourite word. A W E S O M E.

That's 10 facts you prolly already know about me. =D

This could be Random Wednesdays. Cool!

Be crushed beneath me.

2010-04-28T04:07:00.003+08:00

It's (past) Monday again! And music's the thing to get you past your Monday Blues!

But wayyyy before that, I just want to say, I'm FREAKING BROKE. That's right, broke. Ergh. Being broke really sucks. I've been working my ass off lately. Seriously, no joke.

And my days are pretty much booked. A very tight schedule indeed. So tight, you need to consult my secretary to book an appointment. Been working for the past 5 days now. Going for a quick lunch/tea with Evon and Theng on Thursday. Heading over to Kuantan on Friday till Sunday. Working on Monday. Was supposed to bring my ass to Penang, but I don't know now. Continue working for another day and then it's off to Perhentian on the 9th. Other than that, I'm pretty much free. Did I mention I was broke? So asking me out would be a problem too.

On the bright side, it's nearly the end of the month. End of the month means PAYDAY! PAYDAY means let's go have fun and worry about the next payday when I'm outta cash.

Anyways, work has been rather tiring. It's like you can't avoid politics, everywhere you go. But what's worse than politics? Race politics. It bugs me the most. I'm kinda safe, cause I'm supposedly the 'cina murtad'. Murtad is a term used in Islam meaning like you've gone off the track of your religion or something like that. Now I might play along with you people and laugh it off, but I'm definitely a loud and proud Malaysian, yes notice how I don't use the word 'chinese'? Well, it's not that I don't admit being chinese, just that I don't really see the races in Malaysia anymore. We're already in our 53rd Independence and there's still people who see people as Chinese, Malay and Indian? Matter of fact is, no one can truly differentiate the races anymore. No one can truly differentiate Malaysians anymore.

I don't know about you guys, but most people think I'm Malay when they first look at me. And to tell you the truth, I'm actually proud of that. I'm a living example of Malaysians. Awesome no?

So anyways, (sheeesh, I get side-tracked so often) working has been really hard with all the politics. It's like 'be on my side or you're my enemy' kinda thing. Which really sucks, cause I'm always neutral. I'm Sweden! But then again, being neutral sucks too. So I might as well just make my own side and crush all the others beneath me. Then again, it's just some lousy ass part time job. Might as well just lay low and stab people when they least expect it. I think I've got quite an influence. Well, enough to get me outta trouble at least. Everybody's pretty much OK with me cept for Miss N. You know, one day all of you are going to find out about this blog of mine and read this shitz. By then I'll prolly be laughing my ass off.

Some people act like they're the know-it-all, but instead they're just know-nothing-at-all.

Back to the music:

Some chinese guy- Nothing's gonna change my love for you.

Enjoy!

The Final Battle

2010-04-21T03:04:00.003+08:00

Hello hello!

It's Alvin Kiang again, nightowl, 3.30Am right here in Malaysia. Whatcha up ta?

Well, tell me. I'm F-ing bored! Not that you people don't know, I've only reminded you a kezillion times. Anyways. Approximately 30 hours from now, the final 2 hour battle shall commence. It's every man (and woman, just to be politically correct, with the women's rights and stuff you know) for themselves. Every single one of them will vie to be the best(est) there ever was. Only one shall prevail. The others will fall. All, but one.

A lil too dramatic? OK, maybe a lil too much. But anyways, the final paper is kinda like a battle. It's like the college has this sick strategy or something. They place what deemed to be the hardest paper of them all right on the FIRST day of the examination, then right when everyone thinks that the final paper is over, right when everyone's off guard. Right when everyone thinks the battle is over, come another paper. BAM! hit you right in the face. It's not like we don't know. We just choose not to. We plan on celebrating our last battle that we forgot that we haven't gone through that battle yet.

I have no idea what I'm rambling on either. The above statements does not include everyone. Well, mostly just me and procrastination. Who's that you ask? That's my best friend. =)

Now on to some music.

We are the World- Various artiste.

No, that's not the singer's name. It means more than one singer person is singing it. The likes of Adam Levine, Pink, Black Eyed Peas, Josh Groban and also other annoying artistes are there. For Haiti. =)

Peace Y'all and enjoy!

Oh! and if you want to skip Jamie Fox talking, go to 1.30. If you want to skip Justin Beiber, go to 1.34. Yeah, 4 seconds. That's all he got, better than nothing. Of all people, he did the intro. That's just bad judgement man.

Here ye Here ye.

2010-04-13T15:00:00.005+08:00

Here's some pictures of me for you to drool over! Oh! And not to mention the other people in the pictures too. =P

Note: The pictures are in no particular order what-so-ever. There are many more people that should be in this post, but I just want pictures that has me in it. So yeah, take more picktah with me!

Monday?

2010-04-13T02:31:00.002+08:00

Ouuuu! I kinda forgot that I have this Music Monday segment thingy where I used it so that my blog don't get rusty, long ago. I totally forgot about that. So here's one by Allison-I-Don't-Know-Her-Name. I found her while listening to Sam Tsui's song. In case you don't know, he's the gay looking guy that sang medley of Micheal Jackson not too long ago. Then came the one on Lady Gaga, pure awesomeness. So awesome Imma ignore the gayness in it and just enjoy the music. Yeap. Ignoring the gayness! This doesn't apply to Beiber tho. Cause I just don't know how to describe him

Anyhoos! enjoy!

Tik Tok- Allison-Cover

Note: I really have nothing against gay people. Just gay looking people like Beiber. I think gay people are totally cool. Heck, Imma try looking gay cause I think they dress up fyne!

A trend now.

2010-04-12T22:36:00.003+08:00

If you've been stalking enough you'd realize a trend starting here.

1. No updates for god knows how long.

2. Constant updates.

3. Promise of more updates.

4. Goes out on another long absence.

And all these happens when? Well, during finals week D'oh! =))

It seems like whenever finals are superbly near, I just go on and on about doing nothing until the eleventh hour. Blame it on that 'Johanion's' spirit if you will. But you gotta admit, us Johanion's really do our best at the last minute. It keep things interesting ye get me? =P

So as usual, I waited till last night yet again to study for today's exam. Cept this time, I didn't know a single thing. So I went to Steph's today. I think that helped a lot. Oh! And I went out 30 minutes early today. Everyone was like, 'You sure pass cause you came out early' and stuff. What they don't realize is that I was superbly hungry that I can't even hold my pen. So I decided to screw the paper and went out for some waffle. That was a good waffle. Note to self tho. Next time, have some breakfast/lunch and shit before you take your papers.

Oh well, what's done done. I can't really turn back time, even if I prayed hard to get that power. I'm actually superbly bored. Like, seriously bored. So bored that I went on msn and chat with nearly everybody who popped out at the window. So bored that I mentioned the word bored 5 times now. There goes the sixth time. There's another one.

Oh! Also played Hexic with Sarah. It's been sooooo long. Hehehe. I still remember. Someone used to get soooo mad just because I'm great at it. =)

If I'm just as bored as today, I might update you stalkers on the last day of DPR2, Diploma in Public Relations Year 2. Over. I'm still kinda sadden by it. Yet happy for all the times at the same time. Don't really make sense? Yeap. I think so too. Look forward to it then. More pictures!

Whut!?

2010-04-06T01:05:00.002+08:00

Yes, there you have it. I'm in a state of disbelief. In awe. Shocked. Jaw dropped. I think you get the idea by now. What happened you might ask? Here goes.

It's already a well known fact that this semester would be a short one, a VERY short one. So yeah, we fool around, rush for assignments, meet deadlines, attend classes, fool around a lil bit more. Sure, we get it, finals are starting on the 12th April. Yeah, it's common that we get a lil bit of study break before the exams. These are usually the time where the library gets crowded, because everyone knows the library has a special magic mojo thingy that makes people smarter, even if all you do is sleep there. But what we didn't know was that our first paper was on the first day of finals itself, 12th April 2010.

Now, everyone's running around like headless chickens finding for notes and past year questions and textbooks. Yeap. The college has gone amok. I'm still waiting for the adrenaline to finally kick in and go 'WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?!'. But yeah, adrenaline? Nope, haven't kicked in yet. So here I am typing this syhit out in front of the computer wishing that I spent my time on studying instead of playing crappy Facebook games.

Anyhoos, I gotta turn in now, I think. Long day tomorrow. Imma go hang out with my classmates. There's only like 3 more days of classes before we finally disperse. =(

I'm kinda bumped that we're leaving each other soon. But then again, I'm quite excited of the possibilities. I'm all set. I'm going to continue my Advanced Diploma in TARC. Yeah, shocking. I know. But that's it I suppose. Unless of course I could find myself an escape clause somewhere in the Internet cluster junk.

I kinda found out that to get a scholarship in TARC for my Advanced Diploma, I have to be in a progression thingy. Say, I get a scholarship for Diploma, then as I progress to Advanced, I'll get a scholarship, provided my grades are good enough. I think the requirement's like 3.75 CGPA or something like that. Oh crap. There goes the scholarship. Unless I get 4 flats this semester, which I seriously highly doubt, I don't think I'll retain the 100% scholarship I've been enjoying for the past 2 years. Darn it. No more freebies for Alvin now? =(

Until then, cherios! (whatever that may mean)

Stressed

2010-03-20T00:51:00.002+08:00

Eh! Seriously la! I damn stressed out weih! I should really go catch a movie or something. =))

Or go work. I feel like making a nice cappuccino right now. I'm not gonna drink it tho. Blerghsss. I hate foam. I make nice foam tho. =))

So I have looming deadlines. I don't care. I don't really. I'm still that guy who says 'Chill la, still got one more day what?' And I'm still going to say that. It's like now. I have aplenty of time to finish up what I have to do. But I'm not. Why? Procrastination. Yeah. It's my nature. Besides, I need that extra pressure to push me anyways. I don't think anything can get this lazy bum working until deadline's practically breathing down my neck.

Did I mention? I had a haircut. Yeah, not the usual haircut.

Here's are the few memorable quotes about the haircut.

'Alvin, you finally look like a man' Hazel Loh
*pulls over,winds down window* 'I like your hair' Joann Lim
'I want Beiber!' Surya
'HAHAHAHAAHHA' Wai Sheng
'Alvin, there's something wrong with you today' Han Yew
'OMG, handsome sial!' Alvin Kiang
'What!? I want Zac Efron hair' Alvin Kiang

Ouuu! I also wore pink for the first time the other day.
'You finally found a shirt that isn't too big or small for you. Nice shirt btw, but pink!?' Carmen Jang
'Why are you so colourful lately?' Carmen Jang
'OK la! Quite handsome la' Jia Li
'Do I look gay?' Alvin Kiang
'I look awesome btw' Alvin Kiang

OK, enough perasan-ing. I gotta TRY my bestEST to start doing my assignment. Thanks. Babai!

ps. Someone left a comment on my previous post. It was weird and doesn't make sense. But I think it was kinda related to what I posted on. So whut were you trying to say dude/dudette?

Dusty

2010-03-18T23:58:00.002+08:00

Dear Dusty Blog,

It's been a while haven't it? So how has it been lately? You good? =)

I'm doing well myself. Not too well, but just good. I've been pretty overwhelmed with my assignments lately. Overwhelmed. It isn't exactly a good word, but I like it nonetheless. Overwhelmed.

But seriously tho, the workload this semester is really too much to handle. I know I shouldn't really be complaining. I mean EVERYONE is going through what I am going through too. I just can't help but complain. I don't have anyone much to complain to nowdays. All I have is you Dusty Blog. I know I'm quite a bad person for abandoning you for so long, then turn to you when I've got some complaining to do. It's not fair, I know. DEAL with it.

The world has never been fair, so accept it aite? Damn, I should really be starting my assignments now. I gotta take 4 more pictures for my News Release, complete my 11 page news clipping, 10 page Media Action Plan, a report on the Minangkabau culture. And it doesn't end there. That's just sad. I need a break.

On another note, I'm working again this weekend. Not like I don't work every week anyway. It stresses me up sometimes. But I find art in my drinks. So I guess it's a good way to express oneself. Also, there's the customers. Talking to them makes my day. Especially the ~~hot~~ kind ones.

Off I go. =)

Thanks for listening dusty blog! I'll start cleaning you up once awhile. I am a busy man after all. Toodles!

Ishhhhhh!

2010-03-11T23:41:00.003+08:00

So the dust around this blog of mine has gotten really thick. But just for you stalkers out there, I'll clean this place up once a while. =P

Life's been great, if that's what you wanted to know. I've started on this side project where I write some lame ass poems about how life is and all. People just get the best inspirations when they're emo-ish. Being (kinda) emo-ish totally sucks man!. You just wake up one day and you go. *sigh*. Then carry on your usual life routine. Then you stop at some corner, ponder on your life then go *sigh*

On a happier note,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOW CHENG YI!
aka Stephanie LCY aka LAN CAO YONG
=D

I've been looking at old tagged pictures on Facebook. Pictures sure keeps great memories! I sometime regret not taking pictures much during high school. Oh well, best memories are kept at heart. =)

Here's the time where I joined B4's outing at Steph's place.

Awesomeness no? Stay awesome girls. I'll totally miss you guys. =)

So college has been quite fun this semester. I got only 2 subjects. But the timetable is packed. I like my tutorial for Public Media and Relations and also the lectures with Miss Kik (I never knew that was her name until today. 0.o) They're both really funny people. These are the only few classes that I don't fall asleep to. Heck, I actually look forward to classes with them. =)

Why the heck am I talking about lecturers and stuff anyways? I think talking about lecturers and classes totally suck. But I'm all out of ideas.

Here's one from Teddy Geiger- For You I Will.

Blogging's so yesterday!

2010-03-06T01:38:00.002+08:00

So I got tired of blogging. I might be switching to micro-blogging instead!
That's right folks! AlvinKCS is moving on to twitter. NOT.

Seriously tho. Apart from the random few posts that I waste my time on, my blog really has no content whatsoever. And other blogs are seen as dead as well. Kinda. Blogging's so yesterday.

I think I have loads to post but I just don't seem to find the time to post much. Twitter on the other hand gives me the freedom to post any crap I want. So if only I have a phone that enables me to read tweets all the time. Actually, scratch that. Being offline for a couple of weeks taught me something. Loads can be done if you're not wasting your time online. I miss the days where I used to read books on the couch. Or the time where I enthusiastically wait for my favourite TV shows everyday. Or where I just stare at the ceiling doing nothing. Or when I used to scroll through my contact list just to find some unlucky person to chat with.

I kinda miss the days without the Internet.

Oh! Btw, follow me on twitter! =P

http://twitter.com/AlvinKCS

I'm baccckkkk!

2010-03-04T00:18:00.002+08:00

Lols. Alright! I think I'm done announcing my Internet status in every way possible! Yay me! =))

So the whole month has been pretty busyyyyy. Assignment overloads. Nothing anybody want to hear about. =S

Chinese New Year was great. Valentine's day was even greater when it falls on the same day with the first day of Chinese New Year! =P That's a reason not to celebrate that pretentious occasion. Lols. Sour grape! =P

On another note, life's been pretty hectic. Oh wait, I said that already. Damn it. I want to blog, but I got nothing to talk about. At all.

OK, that's as much crap I can provide you people for now. Ciaozzzz!

Oh! Do you hate that feeling where your heart just feels damn freaking heavy for some unknown reason? I hate it. Loads. =( Heavy hearts are baddddd!

Penang, Again!?

2010-01-29T01:50:00.009+08:00

Yeap, you read that right. Penang. Ahhhh, the sun, the beach, the...oh wait, that ain't Penang.

This was overdue, but I had exams and stuff, so yeah. Besides, I'm freaking bored now.

Penang!
Venue : everywhere around Penang,usually food stalls Date : 3rd January- 6th January 2010 Participants : JasonTheng, WaiSheng, JunLin,QiKit, and last but obviously not least, moi'

We took off at 8pm by train, not my preferred choice of transportation, but it's definitely safe and relaxing! (unless of course some train hijackers hijacks the train). I got the front seat with WaiSheng. Curiosity got the best of me and I opened some train compartment. The thing was broken and we can't close it back, notice the water bottle? Creativity, that's what it is!

Time of arrival : 4AM at Batu Feringgi.
Activity : Stoning.

Owh! Notice QiKit's bag? Yeah, pretty awesome. That bag is the reason pictures can be posted here. He has practically everything in there, camera,video camera, tripod, clothes, jacket, first aid, monopoly, scrabble, scuba diving equipment, masks, guns, an extra stomach, a movie theater. Alright, I was exaggerating. I'm pretty sure it could fit all those tho, cept for the movie theater and the scuba diving equipment of course. =P

Accommodation : Gurney Hotel Sponsor : QiKit's Mom! For the first night at least. Thanks! =)

The breakfast: Nasi Lemak, Koey Teow, Half Boiled Egg, Roti Bakar, Ha Mee

Returned to the hotel. To do some skype-ing with KevinHoong and to sleep of course. We barely slept in the train! Cept for JunLin, he sleeps anywhere and everywhere. =P

Check out our ride for the trip!

Me, JunLin and Theng walked all the way to Gurney Plaza (a good 2KM walk). We bought some drinks and other essential items, only to find out that it's "No Plastic Bag" day. WaiSheng, our only manual driver,was fast asleep. Yeap, 2KM walk with no plastic bags all the way back to the hotel.

Afternoon's lunch : Koey Teow, Satay Babi (Lols) and Cendol!

Dinner : Porridge with pig intestines or something like that, Roasted Chicken, Penang's staple; Char Koey Teow, Asam Laksa (for you sayang!) and Or Chein (Fried Oyster with Eggs)

Ahhh! I remember Fruits Uncle! The last time we met each other we were buying lemons from him. This time, we...... bought lemons as well. =.="

Malam kite thani!
Brand : Finlandia Vodka with several mixers bought from our earlier 4KM no plastic exercise. Sponsor : Mr Theng! Trima Kaseh ye!

Yeap! Thats day one. Ye didn't think I'm going to post them all in one night did you? What am I supposed to do tomorrow then? Finals are over and I'm dead bored. So so so bored. Seriously. Bored. Bosan. Sien.

That's about it folks! Stay tuned for Penang,Again!? Pt 2. Thanks for watching,reading,snooping,stalking, whatever you may want to call it. Adios!

Call me gay!

2010-01-25T23:25:00.002+08:00

It's time again for an untimely update from yours truly. =)
If any of you stalkers still reads this blog, yeah, I'm currently having my finals. Second Year Second Semester. One more short semester to go and I'll be at home being a couch potato wasting valuable time and space.

But for now, I'll just enjoy what college is to the fullest. Anyways, it's Monday and I haven't been stealing enough videos from Youtube for my blog.

So call me gay! Westlife is today's pick. At a certain time of your sad lil kiddy life, every boy actually likes this boyband. The sad thing is, when they get older, boybands seems gay or something like that. I can't really understand. I try not to. I still love this guys. =)

Seasons In The Sun-Westlife

Yeah, I know it isn't originally by Westlife. This is actually the first ever song I actually listen to consciously. As in, I started my interest in music when I listened to this song. Sentimental siot!

Love the lyrics! It's about dying and how hard it is to leave the ones that you love. At least that's how I interpret it. Enjoy! =)

And Good Luck people of DPR2 for their final paper of this semester, Media and Advertising. Yesu is proud of you. (Great now I'm going to have trouble scraping off the name of my blog)

Birthdays Galore!

2010-01-23T01:13:00.006+08:00

OMG, I don't even know where to begin with. But apparently one generation back, people like to have baby making activities (yes,otherwise known as sex) at around April. Why so? April + 9 months later= January!

Viola! January babies, Happy Birthday! Yeah, you know who I'm talking about. =)

So lets get the ball rolling!

24th January, Happy Birthday Han Yew!Dai lou! OMG, I had to tip toe just to get my head in the picture. The guy is freaking tall. o.0

So there you have it! I'd totally do a separate posts for all of you. But due to time constraints, for something like petty things like finals, I had to do this in bulk. But there's enough love to go around for everybody so CHEERS! and good luck people of DPR2 that stumbles upon this poor lil blog of mine.

Happy Birthdays and Good Luck!

Hapee Birthday!

2010-01-16T01:02:00.005+08:00

Wheeee!
So it's the 15th of January. Yeap, that's half of the month already gone since we welcomed 2010. Time flies when you're having fun eh? But I guess it flies even if you're not having fun...

13th January was Theng Wen Chong's Birthday. More fondly known as jagi. (seriously, don't ask =.=')

I've known Mr. Jason here forever. Maybe not, but it sure feels so. =) (not in a bad way)

This character first made it's appearance in my life as a bully in tuition. =P Then turned out to be the closest of friends. Nah, scratch that, you're practically family. My brother from another mother. =)

Here's one when we're at Langkawi. Damn long ago weih.

He's been thru many hairstyles. Yeah, remember this one?

And we went thru so many parties and gatherings together I lost count.

Dude, that's like our 3rd picture in chilies weih. =.="

Always there to do silly things with you. (or rather make you do silly things)

So there you have it Theng! It's like a few days late, but I really meant to do this earlier! =P

And about the random pictures, yeah. I got them on Facebook. Went to pictures of me and Jason (insert chinese name here) then all these came out. Lols!

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY!

ps. you damn old weih!

201?!

2010-01-11T03:14:00.003+08:00

Woah, I was trying to post something here and I saw that the number of post now is 201. Gosh, this blog has come a long way from what it was. What started as a private online diary, a place to sound my sad thoughts has turned into a not so private online diary where hundreds (if there are that many readers) are able to read the crap that I type on this dark lit room where I struggle to find the letters on my black keyboard. (you didn't know my keyboard was black didn't you? Now you know, stalkers)

Anyways, a lot has happened and it is only the 10th January 2010. The most recent and hot current topic was arsonists attacks in churches in Malaysia, mainly KL and PJ. So I was reading Joann Limmer's blog and read the article that she posts there. This particular article really pisses me off:

http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/opinion/breaking-views/49130-torched-churches--reaping-what-is-sown--akhramsyah-muammar-ubaidah-bin-sanusi-

I don't know if the writer is being sarcastic in his writing or not, but being Malaysian, no matter what race or religion you are, it really pisses you off! Like seriously! He's being so narrow minded, racist, uncivilised and many more insults that I can't seeem to spurn out right now.

The funniest part was when he said

"Most Malay students have nowhere else to go other than public universities whilst non-malays can go private! The result is, now, many otherwise university-bound Malays are on the streets, hungry, angry and with the intelligence to organise."

That certainly gave the giggles. I think you got it all wrong dude. It is BECAUSE Non-Malay students cannot enter the public universities due to some quota restraint that a certain group of people impose on us that we HAVE to go private. But then again, some just refuse to go public. Apparently public universities isn't up to standard or something. Oh, look, damn it. I get distracted too often.

So anyways, conclusion.
Writer = Baaaaddd.
Church Burning = Baaaaddd.
Public U= Not so excellent.
Alvin= Easily distracted and writes crap. (and apparently has a black keyboard)
You= Are really wasting your time reading this.

Toodles! =))

2010-01-09T02:56:00.002+08:00

Hello 2010!!

Opps, I guess I'm 9 days too late huh?
I wanted to make this into a few parts, but laziness got into the way and I scraped that plan.

All in all, 2009 was great if you ponder on it long enough. For everything bad that has happened to you, there surely is something better. =) (seriously, I don't even know what that's supposed to mean)

So if you stalkers are wondering why the tardiness, it's because I've been in Penang for the past few days. But then again, if you're really my stalkers, you'd know from the constant updates on Facebook. Unless of course you don't have my facebook. Then you lucky stalkers can just add me here I suppose.

http://www.facebook.com/alvinkcs

Before we move on to Penang, I'd like to post a new year post too, eventho I'm a lil too late.

So before anything starts, lets start with them resolutions. Ahhhh, New Year Resolutions. Who could've forget them? They're the things you pile your hopes on achieving, procrastinate on reaching, and then finally recycles them for the next year! =) Awesomeness, no?

Here's mine for this year. You'll notice a few that are recycled, but they're few new ones too. =))
1. Driver's license
2. 4 flats GPA
3. Gain weight
4. Spend more time with family
5. Save money
6. Go back to recording every single cent I spend. (I stopped after Bryan said Mass Comm students don't do this =S)
7. Keep a healthier lifestlye.
8. Join a marathon. (I don't know how, but this is Evon related)
9. Sleep earlier. OK, scrap that.

That's about it I think. I'll add more along the way I suppose.

I'll prolly blog more now. Since finals is near. Coz finals seems like the only time I have inspiration to do stupid stuffs like this. =S
So next up, Kong Kong's 85th Birthday in Malacca!
Then Penang!
Them ramblings on how I should study instead of doing this shit!

Cheers!

2009!

2009-12-31T03:37:00.003+08:00

It's nearly 4AM and I'm still in front of this computer typing on this keyboard. So there's only 20 hours left to this year. Should we really waste the remaining 20 hours by sleeping? After all, 2009 comes once in a lifetime.

This shall be my last post of 09. Wished everyone had fun. =)

So this year has not been a total waste. Towards the end of the year, I just can't help myself but feel kinda emo. I mean, the year's ending. Have you asked yourself what have you achieved? But then again, have you have your very own flashbacks on your fond memories with family and friends, loved ones, the people you hate, the one that makes you laugh, the one that left, the one that is constantly there, the one that tho far apart is always near you somehow, the best friend, the lover, the enemy, the brother, the mother, the father and the sister?

Now that 09 is on the brink of death, and 2010 is near birth, what do we do? Should we party all night till the break of dawn? Should we reflect our thoughts on the year to come? Should we relax and think about fond memories? Should we cuddle up with family and friends and feel blessed that we got through this year? Or maybe we should just run and hide, 2012 is coming after all. WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIEEE!!

Instead of telling what I have achieved. I think this year, Imma say what I hadn't.
1. Get a driver's license.
2. Get a 4 flat GPA.
3. Get some insurance license Dad asked me to.
4. Gain more weight.
5. Plan my future.

So this is what next year's resolution going to be then. =)
Toodles 09, and welcome 2010. Let's just hope it's going to be better if not the same.

Special wishes goes to the stalkers of my blog. If you're reading this, yes, I'm wishing you.

Also goes to the best of friends that remains even though we are not constantly together (or, for some, in contact),

College people who I see everyday,

Friends of friends that eventually became friends,

And all the other random people that has touched me or been touched by me, physically or mentally or emotionally,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Gee, doesn't this save up my phone bill. =)

Did you get my Message?

2009-12-28T03:02:00.002+08:00

So it's the Mondays again. I'm feeling kinda blue. I have a few choices on what song to post here. Decided to go with a Jason Mraz ft Racheal Yamagata- Did You Get My Message?

Pretty awesome song. Wonderful lyrics. I bet nobody ever hears this, so listen up. =)

The other choice would be Bye Bye Bye by N'Sync. Lols, I know, that's so gay ain't it not? =P

We kinda sang that the other day. Haha!
Adios people! And Goodbye. Bye Bye Bye.

Christmas is here!

2009-12-24T01:10:00.002+08:00

It's that time again, Christmas!! Wait a minute. What am I so hyped up about? I never, NEVER celebrated Christmas. Lols. I guess it's just the festive spirits you get me?

So Merry Christmas everyone. =)

I've been asking around for stuff to do on Christmas. I have no idea why, but people seem to be going to Singapore and Genting a lot. Wtf?! Malaysia's not good enough for Christmas now is it?

On another note, TARC totally sucks. It's the festive seasons for god's sake. They never give us holidays cept for semester breaks. Damn it. I have a class on Monday, that's 28th also need to submit the 2 PSA I've been working on. Special thanks to Qi Kit for helping me yet again. =)

This time last year, he was helping me with the Christmas greeting card. Turned out awesome, just like this one. Helped me with the drama video editing too. Always been a great help. =)

I guess I'm going to spend the Christmas working again. Working on a public holiday mean I don't need to work for another 2 days. Public holidays is triple pay day. This time last year, Iman asked me to go clubbing with her. Imagine that, a Brunei chick that I just met for like barely 2 hours. I declined, D'oh! No one's taking my clubbing virginity. =S (gosh,that sounded so wrong)

Here's my Christmas wish list. I don't celebrate it, but maybe Santa would read this and somehow buy me a gift or something. *winks winks*

1. Shirts, been wanting to buy one ever since forever. Hasn't had much free time lately.
2. Wallet, the one I'm using is sad, just sad.
3. Good health, OK, no one can buy me this one. Vitamins maybe?
4. Enough sleep. Should be achievable now that the assignments are (nearly) done.
5. Company, no not the one where we make business. Being alone whatever the occasion never feels great.
6. A laptop? OK, this might be too much to ask for.
7. I'm not THAT greedy, that's about it. So the only thing one can get me for Christmas is a wallet and shirts huh?

Cheers!

My style

2009-12-20T02:51:00.002+08:00

This does sound like some handphone ad or something huh? My style.

Lols, back on topic.
On the 18th December 2009, yes, the new year is near, bersamaan (insert the Islamic date here,Awal Muharam), I went out with my friends. Namely, Chen Wai Sheng and Theng Wen Chong (it's surprising I can still remember your full names. =S)

While I queued up in line for a movie ticket, they were both 'finding parking' or 'on the way' either one, you choose aite.=p So anyways, I queued and we didn't watch a movie. I want to watch the Princess and the Frog (yeah, call me gay,kiddy or childish) and Avatar so badly! Assassins and Bodyguards looks worthwhile too. =)

I was wearing the shirt that Soh gave me for my birthday and WaiSheng said this.
You look different today.

What do you mean I look different?

You look like Kevin.

WTF?! But why? (no offense Kevin. =))

This is what Kevin usually wear, a T-shirt and jeans. It's his style.

Uh huh. . . So what's my style then?

Erm, long sleeve shirt with jeans? Oh! and also hoodies.

Wow, I just realized what Wai Sheng said was true. o.0
Wai Sheng's style would be a Polo Tee and jeans
Theng's Slipppers (The better looking type, not the pasar malam one), Three Quarter Pants and a shirt, sometimes a tight shirt. =P
Soh's double layered shirt with accessories, bling, whatever you may call it.

I kinda just realized that everyone has a style. So what's yours dear stalkers? =)

On another note, one more assignment to go. 2 Public Service Announcement to record and script. One for H1N1 another for I don't know what. After this I'll be home free!! Oh wait, yeah. Exams are near. . . . Damn you TARC!! Damn you!!!

Eleanor-Low Millions

2009-12-14T00:05:00.002+08:00

Monday!

I don't know if anyone remembers this song. But it's awesome. Really. =)

I'm have Ms. Yesu's class tomorrow at 2-4pm as replacement. Damn it. Just when Jessie said we were going to watch the Frog Princess. =(

This is getting lame.

Eleanor-Low Millions.

2012

2009-12-11T23:33:00.003+08:00

2012, the end of the world, the apocalypse, hari kiamat, doomsday and other synonyms for it.

So ever thought of it? What if the world really is ending in 2 years time. What will you do? Spend time with loved ones? Say your goodbyes? Do things that you've never done? Rob, steal, rape?

I'd totally do a bit of everything. cept for the raping part, of course.

So what's up with this random things? Well, I recently, finally got the chance to watch 2012, no thanks to my friends. Hehe.

I was called up to work in KLCC1, where there are supposedly hott girls, which is nowhere to be seen btw. Worked for 3 hours from 2-5. It was hell. There were 2 people at the register and only one person at the bar, me. So I handled cold beverage and hot beverage at the same time. ITS KLCC1 FOR GODS SAKE!. Can anyone imagine how hectic that place is? Only 3 partners working.

I took off straight away as the clock strikes 5. Closing partners came by then, thank god. Then Benjamin and I watched 2012, finally. Here's the review!

2012.

The movie started like any disaster movie, showing events that leads to the eventual catastrophic event. Main characters were introduced. There's the main protagonist, Jackson, divorced with a children that are

1. very fond of him

2. have some issues with him and likes the step dad better.

It makes one wonder, why does all disaster movie have some sort of character like this? Remember that movie which I can't seem to remember that featured Tom Cruise in it?

Anyways the movie isn't entirely focused on the family, which is extremely lucky given the circumstances I might add. It also puts focus on a few other characters in the movie. Like the US President, which is obviously black, since Barrack Obama came to be the president. Notice that every other movie depicts the US President as a black person now. So back on topic, there's also the person who discovers that this whole end of the world thing. And some Russian Billionaire with his two sons and his cheating girlfriend. Also not to forget the young monk and his parents.

Eventually every single one of the characters shown connects with each other and they help the poor broken family in one way or another to safety. Been there, done that. But hey, there are prolly no more possible original plot available anyway.

I love the fact that 2012 is some kind of a comedy as well. The SFX and timing was really played well. It got almost everyone at the edge of their seats. Especially the airplane and car chase scenes. Everyone cept for the annoying Arabian who sat beside me, more on that later.

Emotions ran wild in the cinema. People were crying, clapping hands (I still don't approve of), laughing, excited etc etc. Hence, a good movie. Definitely recommended.

In the end, people survived the apocalypse and mankind is saved, only to destroy Earth further, no doubt. And oh! Remember the step dad? yeah, he died. How else could the protagonist reconnects with his ex-wife then? Ok, so enough spoilers. =P Go see the movie for yourself. (If you have not done so, which is really unlikely)

Rating 9/10!

OMGosh!

2009-12-10T22:29:00.002+08:00

Tomorrow's the deadline on Public Opinion and Persuasion assignment. I got half done yesterday. Turns out there's alot more to do now. Darn it. On the bright side, there's no class tomorrow. So I would love to get some time to just hang out and have fun. Might be going skating tomorrow. Been sometime now.

Just when I thought everything is done and over with, I heard there's going to be one last assignment for PR Writing. I need to record a PSA now. Rawr! When is it ever going to end!!

Futsal on Sunday. Work on Saturday and skating on Friday. Seems like my weekend is pretty much covered. All I need now is some alone time where I get to spend it in my bed. Sounds awesome enough. Alright, getting back to assignments. Ta ta.

Wai Sheng's!

2009-12-09T18:09:00.003+08:00

Well hello there stalkers! Been sometime has it not?

I've pretty much busy with assignments really. Heck, I have no idea what I'm doing here. Chee Teck is prolly going 'WTF you doing here?! Go and finish up the assignments!'. But I really needed a break, so here I am wasting precious time away blogging to unknown (or known) strangers.

Life as you know it, is hectic. Assignment rush gives me stress. (I know,doesn't happen too often) Heck, you could polly even say I'm on the verge of a breakdown. I don't know if guys are capable of admitting that, but yeah, I am. Just two more to go Alvin, stay calm and you'll get thru this.

So I'm going to finish up my analysis on Najib's 1 Malaysia, then prolly push everything magazine to Chee Teck. =P (thanks dude!)

On another note, a shout out to Wai Sheng. One of the reason I'm actually updating is because I wanted to update at least once his lappy. Heh! He loaned it to me. Perfect timing too! Just when I'm in the middle of assignment rush, a lappy comes to my rescue! Hehehe. Gosh, I think I'm gonna miss this thing once Wai Sheng gets his exams done and over with. =))

Another shout out goes to Aaron Chiu and Bryan Lim!

Happy 19th Birthday guys!

May your wishes come true and (insert other cliche here) so on.

We should really hang out. More.

Working in Starbucks has been getting more and more dull and forceful now. I wonder when I'll stop. I wouldn't yet, not too fast. but eventually, probably, certainly. I feel, tired, somehow. Working extra hours there wouldn't be a problem if it was fun like it used to be. Oh!! Word on the street (at the bar?) is that there's going to be a cute partner coming in next week or so. Lols, I'm soooooo going to meet her before I quit or something! =P but then again, I wouldn't be quiting so soon nyways.

Had a skype chat with Kev yesterday night. He broke my skype virginity. =.=" (I can't believe I just typed that out). I never knew skype could be that fun. And its all thanks to Wai Sheng's Lappy!

Thanks! Dangkiwell!(Dutch). Merci(French). Arigato(Japanese). Thankershun(German). Ka Men(Vietnamese). Gracias (Spanish). Gratzia (Italian). Terima Kasih (Malay). Xie Xie (Mandarin).

PS. Yeah, I guess I'm a show off. Lols, you guys could easily find this in the Internet, but learning this from customers seems much more fun! =D

PSS Correct me if I'm wrong on those languages please!

PSSS. I know the Korean one, but I have no idea how to spell it, not that I have any grudge on a specific nationality. =P

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

2009-11-28T01:23:00.003+08:00

Woah! Has it been months since I last posted?

Prolly not, exaggeration is my thing. =)

Anyways, things has been quite a handful lately. Yes, this time, when I said I'm busy, I REALLY am busy! Deadline for Public Opinion and Persuasion assignment has been met safely with an hour to spare. Course, I only had 2 hours worth of sleep during the course of this thingy, but I don't care! We got it done, so kudos to me and my other group members of course.

So here's the upcoming deadlines that I pray I don't need to stay up till 5AM to complete again.
2nd December : News release for some Produa car.
7th December : Rough Layout and Thumbnail Design for Chillex! (Our magazine title, save the 'lame comments')
9th December : 10 ads for Media and Advertising (bring on the scissors!)
Upcoming assignments include :
1.A look on Najib's 1Malaysia strategy(persuasion techniques and stuff people do not want to know about)
2.Mock Magazine
3. Letters to Editor

Wow, things seems to be busy from here on. That being said, we still got the chance to celebrate KZ's birthday. =) I'll post that in another post should I feel like blogging again some time in the future.

I'm in a cheery mood today. I met a few of my favourite people today. =) Also, I heard that we're hiring a new partner.
Poji : Amoi comel tuuuu!!
Alvin : ohkeh! Aku chop dulu ah, pe lagi!
not like any of you gives any competition to the likes of me anyways =P (gosh, I'm so glad you guys don't ~~cyber stalk~~ read people's blog!)

I have to throw the trash. You're NOT following me, are you? (0.0)

Do you want me to teman you or not? (=.=)

*smiles* Let's go. (^^)

You rude, rude woman!

2009-11-20T00:50:00.003+08:00

Well hello there people who I might or might not know!

I should really be completing my assignments, not typing out my complaints on the world and stuffs. But here goes.

So remember that Ms Yesu character that I said was not everyone's favourite lecturer? I mean, I'm OK with her. But seems to be the OK is going a lil more downwards from now on. It all started when Margaret said that there was supposed to be a replacement class for Awal Muharam. So being the responsible class rep that I am, I called her to confirm that. Here's the conversation.

Ms. Yesu : Hello?
Me : Hello, is this Ms Yesu?
Ms Yesu : Yes, who is this.
Me : Hi, Alvin here. I was just wondering, you mentioned something about a replacement class on Monday? And something about cancelling a class on Friday? You told that to Margaret right?
Ms Yesu : Yeah, I did. But it's for next week.
Me : Alright, so we're going to have classes as usual tomorrow then? (this is where she went ballistic)
Ms Yesu : You are the class rep right? Did I tell you that we're going to cancel the class? (at this point, I knew the smart thing to do was to go 'uh huh,No,Yes,etc etc') (But then again, just to argue with you, Yes, I am the class rep. No you didn't tell me to cancel the class. So why the heck did you tell Margaret in the first place? IS SHE THE CLASS REP??)
Me : Yes, No, Uh huh. OK.

Then she hangs up the phone.
Hello!! You're like what? 40 years old? And your mom didn't teach you some proper manners? When you end a conversation, especially with an innocent guy just innocently asking on the status of the classes, you tell him politely that you'll inform him if there are any changes. Not screw him! Ergh! And to hang up just like that. Aren't you a lil rude?? Say a proper goodbye at the very least!

It's not always like this. Sometimes, she's in a superbly good mood. I suspect those were the days she 'got some'. No idea how, but apparently that's what happen. Nothing else can explain a grumpy 40 year old turned nice in one day. I'm a teacher's pet, but so far I've tried to maintain good relations with you. And you screw me up because I was being RESPONSIBLE?! Also because I attend your lecture and not pay attention?? Look at the bright side, at least I ATTEND them!

Whatever man, I don't care. 6 hours and 30 minutes now before I attend her 8am class. Which I might add, she doesn't even give room for tardiness, not even 15 minutes. We're TEENAGERS, we're supposed to sleep at 3am and wake up at 12pm. It's the law of nature. You can't change that. Be thankful we're 10 minutes late instead of 30. But I don't reckon you understand this. You're no where near a teenager.

Nuf' of crap and disgruntlement. Nights!

PS. Ahhhh, that felt much better. Now to go to bed with a calm and happy mind that I've bad mouthed you in my blog. If you're reading this, 'HAH! IN YOUR FACE!!' . I don't care if you want to isolate me or not. I'll say "Bring it"

I feel like blogging

2009-11-16T01:25:00.002+08:00

. . . . . . but I don't know exactly what to blog about.

Doesn't that just suck?

About my previous rantings. I was tired. I kinda just got back from work after a long day. I'm usually more calm and secretive. Not too mention not a blabber mouth. Truth is, I iz awesome. Working is tiring, but it has it's own rewards. At times.

I'm tired again now. Had to do OT for 3 hours just because some people decided not to show up. On the bright side, I saw Jason today. Said he lost my blog link. Well, let's just hope he lost it for good. =) Hehehehehehe.

I'm seriously thinking about writting a piece of work that I can be proud of. Have the storyline at the back of my head already. Wonder when I'll get started on it. Hmmmm.

Finally decided to take the next week off. Cept for Sunday. Going futsal (finally) with the others. Lols. (where are you Kevin?) Working has definitely changed my life, good or bad. One, I have less time on my hands. You could say it improves my time management skills. But we all know that is one BFL. I can manage my expenditure wiselt now due to limited recsources at hand, another BFL. I learn to deal with people. True. I learn about work place politics and ethics. True. They're probably a hell loads of things I've learnt here. But one thing for sure, if I were to turn back time and change my choices. I'd live it the same way I did now.

Lits

2009-11-14T02:45:00.003+08:00

Woah. I was in the bus just now and I got an inspiration to write chic lits! 0.o. Lols. Never tried writing a story before. Maybe I should try that. Hmmmmmm. Let's put that on hold. Better yet! Put them into the 'list'! Yes, the 'list'. It's where I put all projects and stuffs that I plan to do but never do. Awesome no? Eventually this 'list' will be lost and I'll just create new lists!!

So I should probably talk about life and stuff. Hmmmm. Hectic. Tiring.

Now that that's done, let's talk about today. I had my typhoid jab today. Long overdue weih! Like 1 and half years ago! Lols. I was supposed to have this jab thingy if I work in the F&B line. And fyi, Starbucks is F&B. But it ain't entirely my fault. Sometime last year, Natalia and I went to some clinic in Cheras to get that jab, but being a government clicnic, they had breaks, for hours. So we decided to skip the jab (only me, she had hers long ago). So I buat dono je, then suddenly May Kiew asked for it today. Needed it ASAP. Damn.

Off I go to Wisma Central in some polyclinic. Took the jab, felt numb at my left arm the entire day, even feel the same way as I'm typing this. It's bad enough my right arm is sore from Dodge ball. Great! Two sore arms!

B Bee came, she's my district manager. Ergh, no offense woman, but you're one heck of an annoying person, to me at least. I don't really know what's her problem. It's like every single time I meet her, she'll just come up with an excuse to say something wrong about me. The worst part is, she never fail to see what you did wrong and NEVER ever sees what you're doing right. Never have I felt more unappreciated than when she's around.(I know, I don't feel unappreciated a lot, but this is one heck of an exception). Sometimes, I just feel like quitting right in front of her just to prove a point. I don't exactly NEED the Starbucks job. I do it because it's kinda fun, errr, making coffee for people, in a way. But when it's not fun anymore, when things become a chore, that's where people lose motivation in what they do.

Anyhoos, not to brag or anything. But I wonder how is the store going to survive without a constant part-timer like myself. Only 4 full timer. 8 part-timer. Sonia,Azwan,Edwin are not even working on a weekly basis. Ament don't show up for work, more than often. Juan cancels on his shifts a lot. Kak Ina is on a daily basis, but the nagging you have to stand with her is just amazing. Akmal don't have a constant schedule. On the other hand, there's this certain part-timer who relentlessly work every weekend without fail, never call in sick, always calls ahead to inform if he's not able to go to work, does his work without any hassle, doesn't nag and loads more. But hey, I'm just saying.

People there take things for granted. Always. They have this constant urge to prove themselves to others on how 'great' they are. The only few people that are really awesome there are Poji, Jeffery and Mimie. Two of them are supervisors. Other notable people are Binaf and Razali, they're new and always, ALWAYS spill things. Of course I make fun of them , but I also voluntarily clean up their mess and teach them how not to make a mess, but no, nobody appreciates me there.

Doesn't matter whether it's making a perfect cup of Cappuccino, a smooth Latte, the right blend of Frappucino or multitasking. I'm good, and you people actually know I'm good. Just that you FAIL to acknowledge that. All you people see is yourself and your small little inflated ego. Even if people say 'OMG, you're good', someone else there would always say 'What's so good about that?' which is rather retarded to be honest with you. Oh well. Enough of workplace ramblings. I'll leave you guys for now. Tata. Merci for listening dear public diary, you truly are a great companion.

P.S. I hope none of you read any of this. The only person who have a chance of stumbling into this is Jason, ex supervisor. Man I miss you. Lols.

Week in Week out

2009-11-11T01:53:00.004+08:00

*blah blah blah*

*rambles on routine life, need excitement*

*tired*

*assignments rush*

Alright, now that we got our introduction done and over with, lets head on to the content. =)

Carmen just uploaded pictures from her Birthday Celebration thingy at Bistro Telawi Street. Pictures! Yay!

Happy 21st Birthday Couz. =)

Jazz music. Awesome atmosphere.

Cousins+2 =)

And for the finale. The Flaming Lamborghini courtesy of Alfie.

This happened a long long time ago. Just thought that it would be nice to update my blog once a while.

Nothing meaningful has happened this past few weeks. Nothing worth mentioning. My life is boring. Almost done with assignments. You know what the hardest part about assignments are? It's when you know you got tons piling up. And you get all motivated to clear up that pile, page by page. You turn on your computer. Log into Facebook. Then open Microsoft Words. Sit there staring at the blank page for the next hour. That sucks.

On another note, I joined Hazel and Carmen (totally unrelated to the above mentioned Carmen) for dodgeball today. My right arm hurts. But I had fun. Dodgeball's pretty awesome. Don't mind going for another round. I didn't get hit by the balls tho. I hid behind this big guy. Comfort and safety. =)

Adios.

For the Mondays

2009-11-05T23:06:00.002+08:00

I feel like blogging. I do, I really do. But now I don't have anything to talk about. Damn it. Cept for. "Damn, my assignments are killing me" and "OMG, I'm damn bored" and somewhere along those lines.

So I'm totally looking forward to working again this weekend. That should get me off some routine. The routine is killing me. I'mnot even working yet and I already have a routine. Damn it. I need some spontaneous shyit in my life. The good one. Not the OMG, I wished I didn't wished for this, kind. The Damn, that's awesome, kind.

Anyhoos, here's something that's rather random and spontaneous, I think.
Lou Bega's Mambo Number 5.

Quoted for truth:
We are meant to be. Doesn't that sound familiar?

Yeah, sounds damn familiar. Doesn't make sense tho. Sorry.

Why?

Because, run as you might. Hide as you want. Cry as you may. Dodge, I don't care. Deep down inside, no matter how ugly the sad truth is. You know. It's done.

Always here. Always dan Selalu. =)

AAR AAR All American Rejects!

2009-11-04T14:49:00.003+08:00

Heh, double post? Woah, what has the world turn into. I'm home by 1. Again, what?!

Anyways, I just realized that I lost all the links on the side. Refer to the side (wtf-ness!?). So, I'll probably appreciate it if you'd leave a link of yours on the chatbox, or leave a comment here. I'd prefer the chatbox tho. Probably appreciate it. Unless you're some random person who wants to advertise some lame ol shopping blog.

So Last weekend was rather eventful. No work. All I did was stay home, go for a concert, go for a party(Idk if you can call it a party), dinner with couzzins (again, don't really know if it'd qualify as dinner too).

Lets start with the concert. It was awesome, nuf' said. AAR concert was truly what I waited for. Big fan, tho I don't know all their songs, big fan. 0.O?!. It really did feel like a proper concert. Tyson's singing was awesome. I'd be jumping among the crowds, but we didn't really enter the place. The carpark-turned-stage was see thru. It was not, but we made it so. Banners promoting Digi is now safely folded in Wai Sheng's car.(make a great picnic mat) So it rained, so we waited for 3 whooping hours till AAR finally decided to show up, so we left a lil earlier than the rests afraid of a traffic jam in the carpark, so we didn't line up to enter the stage area, so we didn't do alot of things. But I had fun anyway. =)

Met a few familiar faces there, tho the face that I'd like to see wasn't there. Sarah got in there by jumping the queue. (or rather asking her friend to 'line up for her') Which ever way you like to call it. =P

Met up with Farrah and Chun Ren halfway thru and went off to Williams, yet again for the 3rd time this month.(Yes, I'm going broke) Had the most extremely cheesy cheese naan. Others had more, I warned them for the expensive but generous portions. They didn't listen. (how glad you didn't order 2 huh Wai Sheng?=P)

Enough about that now. I think I shall talk about Carmen's 21st Birthday sometime later. Forgive us for our tardiness. We were 1 hour 30 minutes late. But aren't all VIP's that way? =P

Pictures please! Or at least, learn to upload them please! Hahahha, toodles.

P.S. Have you ever had this situation where you hoped for soemthing to happen badly enough, it really does happen? Coincidence or the power of hope? I think they wrote a book or somewhat on this subject. Positive thinking and such. Well, I hoped, I recieved. But, now what? Same process again? Well, that's tiring.

Boredom.

2009-11-04T01:47:00.002+08:00

So since I've gone thru the traditional "I have hell loads of assignments" post, I'm going a head with the tradition of "I'm bored" post.

I'm BORED. There's just a point in your life where everything around you goes by. And before you know it, BAM!, "Woah, what the hell just happened?" You'd ask yourself. Well, I'm not at that point. I'm just being randomly random.

I don't know why, but I just seem to be mood-less in doing anything. I'm supposed to be not wasting time writing this crap, but I am. Boo-hoo.

I ran out of random stuffs to say. I think I might be just tired. Same ol' routine. I need some excitement. I need something. I need someone. I need anything actually, just to get me out of this same boring life.

Nuf of typing out long things just to come up with a point. I'm bored. Entertain me.

College and stuffs

2009-11-03T02:37:00.002+08:00

I just don't have that inspiration to blog anymore. Why? Well, I can't figure out myself. But I have been pretty busy lately. Usually, this long into the semester, I'd be complaining on the workload that I have and make up some petty excuse for not blogging. I said to myself, "Why waste the tradition right?" So here goes.

OMG, Assignments are loading up as fast as you can say "Hell No!". And don't even get me started on them due dates. 12th November for Media and Advertising, which is approximately 9 days from now. Great.

These are the assignments that I'm complaining about.

Public Opinion and Persuasion: I'm researching on Jusco's retailing services, along with several other useless infomation for students like us. But oh well, assignments are assignments. I'd rather stick to researching which brand of sanitary pads are more popular among the female kind, but it's too hard to get previous research on that. (Duhhh)

Media and Advertising: I'm supposed to create some lame ass advertisement for TARC's 40 Years Anniversary, in print of course. It's OK. My perfect idea of promoting the ancientness of the place would be. "We're 40 Years Old. Old. Yay us."

Publication: I need to create a magazine. Knowing me, a gossip mag would definitely do the trick. honestly tho, I'm actually interested in this particular assignment. =)

OK, so I'm done with crapping on assignments. I shall post on AAR's concert some other time. And also some bad luck with the financial department. Darn it. On another note tho, I'm so totally liking KLCC. Surya, KLCC. Awesome, it is. =))
