In diversity we can find unity

This phrase struck a chord in me and I felt that this is what we should remember to uphold the integrity of our nation, and step by step..we shall take it towards the realisation of Vision 2020..

"and we are brave enough to face the challenge that lies ahead and with the support of all the elements, the different races who made up the Malayan nation, we feel confident that we can overcome all obstacles. Let us show the world how in diversity we can find unity. We have now been admitted into the United Nations and recognised by the whole world as a free and independent nation. Let us show what we can do towards peace and happiness not only in our country but in the interest of the world in general."

Tunku Abdul Rahman
1st Prime Minister of Malaysia

merdeka omedetou!

or..dokuritsu kinnenbi omedetou!

In other words, Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan!!how many yrs of independence d..49? But I'm happy that I'm living in Malaysia..can't think of anywhere else with such yummilicious food..

Hmm basically my blog is really rotten..but then again..I feel rotten..everyday is a routine which I look forward to night time, so that I can sleep..or meal times..so that I can eat..haha not good obviously..everyday is so unproductive..

I did promise you guys about my Cambodia pics..but the connection here is blardy slow and it takes forever to upload a pic ler..potong stim nia

Sempena pao and heng's post on how they ended up in their courses..maybe I shud talk about mine..insya-Allah..i will graduate next year..which is 2 more sems =) =)

If some of you do not know already..I'm currently taking Mechanical Engineering-Majoring in Aeronautics...Aeronautical Engineering lah tu..in UTM..an ulu uni in JB..the most happening thing in JB is its crime rate otherwise, everything else is NOT!

clubbing scene-BAD
food-BAD
water quality-BAD

But mau tak mau..pun have been living here for 4yrs d..time really flies..how did I end up in this course?..*flashback 4yrs ago..

I didnt know what I wanted to do after form 5..ideally is finding someone rich and goodlooking to marry..but nampak sangat that plan A failed..so plan B would be continuing to pursue my studies.. SPM results was not out yet..but I didn't have good feelings for it..in fact, Dad was pretty worried that I will be failing my Physics, Biology..Add Math..based on how I described it everytime he picked me up after my papers..

"Haih..If you do really badly..it's either you work, or mayb I should send you to my sister's in Australia to continue your studies.."

Secretly I'm happy that Dad is going to send me to Australia if all else fails..but obviously it will be hard on the finances la..since I have two younger brothers more to consider..then one day I received an offer to continue my tertiary education in UTP--Universiti Teknologi Petronas which I went interview for..So happy that I got it at that time..cos only 4 from my school was offered the scholarship..but under unforeseen circumstances that are deeply regrettable, I did not go -_-"

Come form6, I reluctantly went for classes everyday..hoping that will be getting the offer in UTM..then world cup started..me and thongching terus tak payah study..everyday mengkaji the matches only..our monthly tests getting 20%-40% only..we still wished that we'll be getting the UTM offer..hmmm we did not get it..*sad sad

But we were accepted for its third intake, alhamdulillah! =) And I was offered aeronautical engineering, which was my choice la..1st choice was Mechatronics..but 2nd was Aeronautical..and am I glad I got aeronautics instead...

love my coursemates (*wink..thanks for the bbq party which turned into advanced birthday celebration for me last nite)..

im really not academically inclined..semester by semester I only score in subjects like languages, math, critical thinking..not those technical ones..lol but I enjoy my lessons-- Propulsion, Aerodynamics, Design etc..tak score nia ma..hahah. life will be very enjoyable if there are no written exams!!! they should assess it by attendance..projects ma..hmmm like that also kenot le..Im pretty lazy wan..but I'm happy with how my results are right now =) no 1st class..but cukup makan...I love Aeronautical Engineering..wouldn't trade it for any other course in UTM =) (nasib baik didn't get mechatronics..i realised how untalented i am in Electronics during my 3rd yr..ehe)

tanpa disedari, 8 semesters have passed..can still vividly remember my 1st semester =) ah..there were good times and bad times..but definitely good times surpasses bad ones..I believe that I will have nice stories to tell my kids next time about my varsity life..hmm..nothing much to tell abt the academic wise la..but fun things i've done in these yrs i guess...they say varsity life is supposed to be the best time in your life..i dont think so..every stage in life is equally important aye! primary sch..secondary sch..

ooh..terbias d..haha am supposed to be doing my research online..been sitting here 3hrs d without any progress..hahah tata~

sori ya

Haha I seem to be apologizing everytime I go missing from the blogosphere..Been really busy..not with academic stuff..but just..being a sisa..not good =(

Wasting time is what I seem to be doing everyday..Wake up..anime..eat..anime..eat again..nap..eat..anime..drama..sleep. Tests and final year projects are abundant, but I choose to feign ignorance.

Not good!

Oh..not to mention my thesis...progress- nil -_-"

*grabs my hair..hooiching, hooiching..you have to repent!!!

"Procrastination is the thief of time"

so very true..tanpa disedari, I daydreamed my way in JB for 6weeks d..and in two weeks will be having our midsem break! the reality just hit me yesterday when I screwed up my 1st test of Aircraft Structures II. Poorly prepared for it ler..but really daisei wan.hehe.

The weekend..I went Eskimo Joy again. Went with Meiyin and few other friends..we were pretty early and even went supper beforethat. At midnight, we went into the club--and I terima culture shock. uh-huh..we were greeting by live band---mind you, I love live bands..esp like the one in Slippery Senoritas, the Phillipino band..but this...

The band was singing in Mandarin!I mean, I am Chinese!But clubs are supposed to be singing in Chinese kua..am I being biased? haha..worse still, they were singing chinese rock songs! The main singer was so ahlian-ish..and the crowd was totally ahbeng-fied. to the max! the crowd was pretty hyped up over the band you know, esp when they sang Beyond's song or something. Somehow the environment reminds me of the place where uncles congregate to gantung bunga for the lady singers (ye zhong hui). -_-" potong stim terus...even lost the mood to dance after that cos too traumatised. hehe. Man, I am so banning Eskimo...since having hols d..cant wait to go back KL and penang!!


Oh yes,yes,yes..I have so so so gained weight!!!No more the tiny waist..miss my gym sessions so much...

Have I mentioned how hot Wentworth Miller is? High-voltage eyes to the max!!~ehehe

And I am now on a mission...will only let you guys on it once I have executed it. =)

please pray for my supercomputer

i know it may sound stupid to pray for a pc..but its vital!!! my poor baby is now in the hospital..so its either berjaya or fail nia..if fail to resuscitate..means i hv to buy new processor = new motherboard = new RAM (cos now no longer using DDR)...ughhhhhhhhhhhh. shouldnt have attempted to upgrade it to 1 Giga RAM..worst of all, shouldnt have wanting to wipe it clean.ugghhhh when i bought it 2yrs++, its considered high-end wan u know...keksim

now the case..i bended the processor's pins behind the processor..3 bended pins..2 saved..left 1 more..which is quite serious. i made my rounds to the hospital jz now..the doctor is not confident of saving it..more likely it will patah..but no!!!! it kenot kenot kenot patah..cos patah means goodbye liao to supercomputer..so guys..pls pray for it...thanks..will go to have a look at it again tmr...haihhhhhhh

stupid me!*slaps ownself silly

Life

What's life? well sorry for being MIA in the blogging world for a 10days! but don't worry I still read all my favourite blogs regularly, just to update on friends and stuff..been very busy lately..mostly involves eating, but let's not get there..
***********

It's 7th lunar month..and there's two 7th month this yr..gasp!
***********

There are so many things happening lately outside. This Israel killing ppl away..Indo kena tsunami..yada yada. And in our Malaysia itself?..The poor pilgrims that died on the way for the festival. Last I heard, yesterday a 18 year old boy was whacked to death cos he refused to give the robbers his money. Dad called the moment he read the news, "Don't go out unnecessarily..yada yada" as every parent has done I guess. 3 of my coursemates has been robbed of handfon, wallet in recent mths. Some are thieves rushing into the house with parang knives, and I cannot even name the rest that got robbed before among our friends..hehe Loke is the most recent one la..busy shopping till kena rob also tak realise..Gosh what has this world becoming to? No wonder I never go out without a pepper spray..Even so, if you are attacked in a group, there is no such thing as self-defense d..

Oh..not only that, apparently a guy in MMU malacca fell to his death yesterday from the 18th floor..and somebody drowned in our UTM lake as well. Life is so impermanent. Sad..makes you think, what are you living for? Are you living till somebody ends your life for you? For all we know, we might fall to our death cos of the slippery bathroom tiles, or choke on your saliva, etc etc *touch wood!!!!! Thus, we should do something meaningful that we value. Family, friends, God, keeping in touch with people that you treasure, cos you may not know what will happen to you/them tomorrow.. Life is so unfair! Why does all the bad guys are leading extremely luxurious lives whereas we keep reading about sob stories regarding nice people leading short lives?
***************

And humans are never satisfied with what they have. Greed, lust, thirst for power, determination to control their lives etc.

How many of us wake up and say? Gawd, I'm having such a bad hair day!
Be thankful you are not bald(not by choice la!!)

Damn I have no waist! Its layers of fat!
You are being paranoid. It already is 26inches

I have thunder thighs!!
So does everyone else

Yes, I answer yes to all of them. How many of you do too?

I always complain, complain, complain...I tell you, humans are never satisfied.

I have an average skin, occasional zits, and sometimes if not enough sleep then tumbuh berlipat ganda--but NO, I want a skin that is super licin and fair

I have an average weight, not too fat, but definitely NOT thin --but NO, i want to lose another 5kgs(the very least)

I have an average grade--but NO, I want first class (too late babe, since you never study..that's called wishful thinking)

I have an average body--but NO, if only it was like Jessica Alba's

I have natural light brown eyes--but NO, if only I had longer lashes or bigger eyes

I have 'pouty' lips--but NO, if only it wasnt that dry

I came to realise..that I should learn to be grateful with what I have. We should be comfortable in our skin, learn to love our body etc. Yes, we can lose weight to achieve the desirable body weight, use good products to get nice skin..but no, we can never be too perfect. When you lose that weight, you will want to lose more. yeah, when you get good results, you want better.

At the end of the day, you gain nothing, no? Self-satisfaction, maybe. I know I grin the whole day everytime I manage to lose a kg (although usually I reward myself after that and gain it back haha). Ultimately, self confidence is what that matters. it makes a person most attractive.

I have met ppl who are ++ sized girls that attract people like magnets. Their enthusiasm and zest for life, aspirations, meaningful dreams really make me feel so small. Us? Depressed over facts that I have another zit today, or gained another kg, and starving ourselves (this excluded for me..otherwise all true ehe), or results are just not good enough.

People, be grateful!!!!! Reasons:
# you are alive, with four limbs intact, and all your senses working
# you are self-dependent
#you have family members that really, really love you
#your friends care! Although you may not hear from them alwiz, but yes, they care..we care..I care!!
#luckier ones ma have bf/gf that love you lo.. (*hint)
#there are so many beautiful things in the world, bask it in!

Thus, I want to thank and give my slimiest kiss and big hugz to all of my family members and friends that made my life so colorful. People that I met in my 21 yrs of journey through life.. it moulded me into what I am today..although I still keep my bad habits la. hehe

Dad, Mom, brothers--although dysfunctional in a way..grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins..love all of them!

Friends esp--(since I am single so I dont hv bf to thank la) kindy, primary sch, sec sch, camping friends i met, HPC, uni mates, housemates, ex-colleagues, coursemates, petronas scholars. clubbing kakis, net friends, bloggers of the blogs I read, even you ppl who read my blogs, friends that I met along the way...love all of you! and I seriously appreciate what all of you have done for me..I feel so lucky to have met all of you, and yada yada

THANKS THANKS MUAX MUAX MUAX!!
