Silent Cries

If you were given a chance to run away from everything you are facing now, abandon whatever you have now and start a new life, will you choose to leave or stay?

Fight or flight?

I will choose flight.

If I were given that chance, I will leave what I have now without any hesitations no matter where it leads.

Why did I choose to come back when I can stay? Maybe I am afraid of loneliness, but loneliness is not as scary as I first thought, mental torturing is more terrible, trust me. I am getting used to be alone now, it doesn't feel good at first as I was always surrounded with friends, I don't even know the meaning of "lonely", no time to understand it when I was in school days, but now I totally understand it, feel it and living it.

Customer Relationship

It was a hot sunny day, I decided to go to the mall with my sister. As we were wandering around, I saw a Snips Saloon and I thought of doing my pedicure over there since I haven't been doing my toe nails for long.

It was a totally turn off as the manicurist was so bitchy. When I approached her and asked about the price and whether there is a vacant slot for me, she didn't bother to look at me when she answered me, she just do her own stuffs as if I am a "bak zhong" kind of customer. By the way, "bak zhong" is Cantonese. Does anyone know what is "bak zhong" in English, I couldn't think of it right now.

My sister was quite frustrated and she just dragged me away saying that we shouldn't go to this saloon as she never liked this saloon. Those people working there were so stucked up, thinking they are so superior. I mean come on, they are nothing but they are meant to service us, the customers. What makes them think that they are so great? I just don't understand why some of those hair-dressers, manicurists, and shop assistances acting like they are so great, showing you fucking faces when you enter the shop, I just feel like slapping them and tell them to eat shit, they don't realize that their monthly pays are from us and this is not the right attitude to be if you are in servicing line. I seriously think that they need training or proper manners class. Well, of course not everyone of them are like that, I met some friendly and kind ones though.

The manicurist that I approached was just some young girl around 19 to 21 years old who looks like a school dropped-out. I can be a bitchy customer by giving her hard time when she is servicing me, let her knows that customers are their boss, so don't simply show your fucking bitch face to me but my sister stopped me from doing so. Anyway I doubt of her skills, since the prices are about the same, I might as well go to Bangsar or Hartamas those high class saloons rather than letting this know little, but act like she knew everything kind of whore to do my nails because services in Bangsar and Hartamas will be so much better, for sure. They know how to treat their customers well and understand that it is important to have good customers relationship, that is the way of doing business today. If I will be a boss in the future, one of my dreams is to own a nail arts saloon or whatever other type of businesses that I am going to start on, I will make sure I won't hire some bloody dumb arses that will ruin my business.

Cute Mommy

Yeah, I am home alone now! Nobody will bother whether my room is in a mess because my books and papers are all around, you should know why, I am preparing for exam, Stressful!!!

Mommy went dinner and so does my sister. Guess what my Mommy wears today?
Hint: the lastest trend of young girls.

She wore a babydoll dress with legging! Oh my god! My lips were pressed so hard to prevent myself laughing out loud when she came into my room and asked me, "Do I look good?" and I answered her reluctantly with a nod. An aunty in her age wearing babydoll with legging, can you imagine that? Her legging is more extravagance compared to mine, mine is only black and plain while my mom's one is brown with some sequins or sort of diamante on the bottom! Jesus, what is wrong with my mom? I bet my sis will have the same reaction as me if she saw it, too bad I didn't take her photo down and show my sis.

Mommy is being vain as she grows elder and she loves to copy cat me too. Everytime I go shopping with her, she will want to buy the same clothes as me, or if the clothes or shoes do not have my size she will ask the shop assistance do they have her size or when I said, "This dress is nice" then she will go and try it before I do. *scratch head* Even my little brother notice it and everytime we will exchange a glance when my mom did that, he then will say to my mom, "Mom, can you please don't copy cat Jie?" I have no idea where and when she bought the babydoll dress and legging though.

That is my Mommy, is she cute?

Sweet-ness

Just had one paper this afternoon and I hoped I can pass. It wasn't difficult if I had studied the right topics and I was so panic that I forgot how to draw the graph, it worths 13 marks! I don't want to repeat this subject again because the lecturer sucks, I don't know what I have been learning throughout the semester and I only need 20 out of 50 marks from the final paper to pass, God please be nice to me!

Everybody Gets Tipsy

Teens drinking is very bad... (lyrics from Jkwon's Tipsy)

It was a crazy night when everyone got drunk.

Well, we had our early birthday celebration for MeiWan on Saturday night. We drank wine during dinner, continue drinking half bottle of JD, quarter of Vodka Mandarin and then quarter of Chivas late at night. Mind you, we haven't open the bottle of Golden Tequila yet, because we were too drunk for that.

We played cards and loser is required to bottom up a glass of liquor, on top of that, one glass each for flush and two glasses each for royal flush. I was winning initially so I started to have an evil thought in me, I wanted to make all my friends pass out especially the birthday girl by mixing more concentrated liquor for them but, I started to lose since then and I ended up I drank them all by myself, lesson to learn - never tried to trap.

MeiWan was the first one who passed out while Cynthia and I follow suit not long later. I was so wasted, I sat beside the toilet bowl after I threw up until Aunty came in to check on me. I have had part of memory loss, I forgot how did I get out from the toilet, why didn't we continue and how did I manage to climb the stairs up to the room but amazingly, I remembered get changed before I go to bed!

I am still having hang over, I can see the floor shaking and still feeling a bit of nausea and sleepy. Feel like vomiting after I got up the next morning but there is nothing more I can puke since I had already puke them all out last night.

Now when I burp, I still can feel the whiskey in my throat and the smell of whiskey makes me sick. I guess there will be no more alcohol for me, at least for three weeks, not until exam ends.

Here comes some of the photos but I will post up more in the next few days because I have to study now and also there are too many photos to pick, we have got 251 photos in one night, imagine that!

Have you ever experienced the feeling of falling down from heaven to hell?

I do!

It doesn't feel good at all! It just hurts a lot, until my mind gone blank and I couldn't breathe!

Damn it, he might as well just delete me from his list and I will be glad if I could erase him from my memory. I know I do not have the rights to question, who the hell am I by the way? He can do anything he likes to, that is his account for God's sake.

He will probably say there are people asking about it if I ever ask. Probably those chicks that hit on him ask and he doesn't want them to misunderstand.

I am nothing, just a random girl, we are just friend, F-R-I-E-N-D get it? So, wake up *slap slap* and forget about him, stop grieving , you bloody idiot!

Arrrgghh... I hate myself! I wish I could hate him. Why am I acting like a nut? Please help me.

隱形人

無論你肯或不肯 我都選擇等
等到你結束好久 探險的旅程
要是沒有寂寞陪襯 沒有途中的灰塵
你怎會嚮往家門

你越是想要誠懇 其實越殘忍
偽裝不了你對我 漠視的眼神
你不許我聽信永恆
不許我迷信我們
不許我奮不顧身

多想化成 隱形的人 掩飾我傷痕
給你 我的體溫好幫你驅走寒冷
看不見也能 感受心疼
我想化成 隱形的人 隱藏我的淚在翻滾
我在你凌亂世界留下的指紋
對你是沒心跳的一個吻

朋友都於心不忍 責備我愚蠢
但他們都回避我 執著的眼神
可知我對愛的虔誠 可知我迷信我們
可知我難得放任

p/s:

一首最近時常聽的歌﹐因為我覺得很有共鳴。

人就係这样 ,明知道再执着落去都不会有么好结果, 但係就偏不肯放手。

朋友都於心不忍責備我愚蠢﹐ 我亦知道自己傻﹐ 但我卻任性的要等下去﹐對不起﹐ 要你地擔心我。

Lost & Found

Found my pen drive!

Haha... guess it was too cheap to own, that's why the person who found it never bothered to keep it. Anyway, I should be thankful, never thought that I could get it back.

Last week of the teaching period, and I finally feel the stress. Everyone seems so hardworking in the library, I am in the library now but I ain't studying instead I am surfing the Internet, chatting and dreaming when I tried to study. The topics that people most talked about now are studies, hints or tips, study group, past year questions and other topics that related to exam.

My exam timetable sucks, 3 weeks long with breaks in between every paper. So, you can still expect whining from me even though during my exam period, love it or not.

A Great Friend of Mine

I couldn't wait for next week because MeiWan and Cynthia are coming back and also Manda is coming down to KL! Even though Manda is on her work trip but at least I get to meet her and have gabfest with her, her roadshow is going to be at Pyramid 2, so near to my school and I can have lunch with her everyday.

By the way, today is Manda's birthday and she is turning 22! Happy Birthday, girl!

I haven't seen her for long, about 9 months. I miss those time when she was living just opposite my room and I can knock on her door whenever I wanted to talk to her or just MSN with her when I lazy to walk to her room, when we have our late night supper session, our gossiping session, and all the things we have done together.

Time when we cam-whoring with my webcam

First time clubbing together in Miri...

...until the countless time

Karaoke Session

Chilling at the beach with a monster

Dinner at Slippery Senorita

Manda indeed a great friend and companion. She is the one I can count on during my most depressed and lonely days in Miri, that is why I cherish our friendship so much and if there is an award ceremony for friend, she will be my friend of the year 2006!

Saturday, October 13, 2007

It is Raya but I don't feel like going out, wanted to go Pavilion but kinda lazy. How I wished I am in Singapore now. Cynthia just called and told me that she and MeiWan are now shopping in Orchard Road. I want to be there too and he might still in Singapore now!

I didn't talk to Mommy for a day, not a single word and I didn't even want to look at her. I just don't feel like talking to her and I think it can avoid argument. I didn't want to hate her, you know hating your mom is a sin but I just couldn't help it, she makes me hate her because of her attitudes.

I miss my life of freedom back in Miri, living without her supervision and free from her nags. I can do whatever I like, coming back home whenever I want, no one will bother if my room is in a mess and most importantly, I don't need to quarrel with her everyday for stupid thing. Those were the days when I enjoyed freedom the most. I have always wanted to move out from my house, living alone or living with friends. I hoped that I can find a job in somewhere else, wherever it takes so that I have excuse to move out. For now, what I can do is being home less or just lock myself in my room.

My mom is getting so unreasonable lately, perhaps it is her pre-menopause syndrome, she is still early for that actually, my mom hasn't reach 50s but I couldn't find a reason to explain why is she behaving the way she is now. She will get mad suddenly and she will nag on everything, God, I can't take it anymore!

There is a saying, like mother like daughter. I don't want to be like her! It is just freaking scary to think of that, I know I am impatiences like her and sometime I found myself behaving like her, I just wish that I will not be a nuisance like her in the future, at least not to my daughters.

Pen Drive Wanted

I lost my pen drive! *sobs*

I think I left it unplug in the library computer lab this Monday and I didn't realize it until today when I wanna load some information from the student drive. The cap is still with me but the body is missing.

It is not some high-tech pen drive, in fact it was the first generation pen drive with only 256MB capacity. I was upset not because I lost the pen drive, but the contents, it has some of his photos that I didn't save it in my lappie and some of my thoughts of the day, sort of my diary. Although they are nothing like nude photos or whatsoever that cannot be seen but it is still so private and confidential to me, the person who took it must be laughing his or her ass out of me. Sigh.

Gimme back my pen drive! I bet I can't buy back the same pen drive in the market since it is so obsolete but heck, I still love it because it is white in colour, my favourite colour and mini in size!

Jonathan asked me to try asking the IT Help Desk since they have a box of unclaimed pen drives. I hoped that my pen drive is there or maybe I can just simply take one from there like lucky draw? LOL, kidding.

To My Sincere Friend, MeiWan

Over the time, I am so self-centered that I didn't realise that things that I have done will affect people around me. Sometime my actions and decisions do hurt people who loved and cared about me and I break their hearts too.

Dearie MeiWan, this post is for you.

You are my most treasured friend, you are more than a friend, in fact you are more like a family member to me. Knowing you is one of the best gift that God ever given me. Remembering the time we first met, we became friend in a very contrary manner, you were hated me [cries] but look at us now, you have no idea how grateful I am to have you as my bestie.

I know that you love me, care about me. I really know and I wanted to tell you that I love you too!

Because of my stubbornness, I hurt myself in a lot of ways. I am so sorry to make you upset too when I am hurting myself. I didn't know that it will hurt you at the same time. Hurting you is the last thing I want to do.

I ever tried to hide all my problems from you, not telling anyone. I thought this is the best thing to do when I didn't want you to worry about me. But you never give up on me, you are like an Angel, standing there and showing me love no matter where I go or how far you are from me. Your constant love and care warmed me up during my cold days, lifted me up from darkness, you meant a lot to me and I can never imagine what will happen to me without you in my life.

It has been a long way and I am getting tired, tired of hoping something that will never happened. I guess it is time for me to let go of something that will only happen in my dreams. I promised you that I will be good, I will stop hurting myself, I will try to withdraw myself from him, stop crying for him, and open up myself for someone else who knows how to appreciate me and love me the same way.

You said that you have a lot of stuffs to tell me and so do I, I miss the time when we have our pillow talk. Gosh, I really miss you and I can't wait to see you again. Let's party hard and mahjong before my final when you are back on the 19th!

Love you always! *Big Fat Hugz + Caramel Kisses*

Happy Birthday, Ronny!



Today is his birthday and he is turning 25!

My prayers for him are that he will have a great year ahead, stay healthy, may all the best things happen to him and last but not least, may his life is full of joys and happiness, he deserves to have them.

I wished I could celebrate his birthday with him but too bad, we are ocean apart and even if we are not apart, it will not make any differences and I never get to do it, anyway that was last year and not worth mentioning. I just want him to be happy, hope he will enjoy the night of celebration with his friends and have fun with them.

Once again,
Happy Birthday!!! *huggies*

With Luv,

Next Summer

Where would you want to go for your graduation trip?

I planned to go to Gold Coast Brisbane, Australia next summer, only if I have enough saving. I don't mind going alone if I couldn't find someone to go with me. Surfer Paradise, everytime when it runs across my mind I feel excited. Being a Summer born baby, sun, sea, and beach are my paradise, I love going to the beach chilling around and one of my dreams is to visit all the best beaches in the world. Another thing is I want to learn surfing, surfers look cool and I want to be one of them.

Surfer Girl-T, I Love this T-shirt

In order to have sufficient saving, the first thing I need to do is stop shopping! I am serious with it and for the first time, I started to look for part time job before my holidays start. I need jobs! I am not going to sit at home for this coming holidays and hopefully I can earn some and at the end of the day, ask my Mommy to sponsor me air ticket.

No more shopping for me for a year, gosh, I feel like crying when I think of it. But shopping with Mommy is different story, as long as I don't use my pocket money to buy unnecessary stuffs. I just don't understand myself, when my wardrobe is full of clothes and yet I always complain that I don't have clothes to wear. I wish I have a wardrobe like the one in the movie "Devil Wears Prada", that would be every girl's dream *grin*.

My little brother recently commented on me that I am overly-self-loving.

He would shook his head everytime he sees me cam-whoring, viewing my own photos in front of my laptop, looking into the mirror and so on.

And I start wondering, am I that self-loving?

Maybe, to a certain extent I am. I love cam-whoring, love viewing my own photos, looking into mirror and what is wrong with all these? I thought everyone is doing it?

Pardon me for cam-whoring again =P

Last weekends, I had a getaway in Palace of the Golden Horses Hotel. It turned out to be quite disappointing although it was awarded Asia's Extraordinary Hotel but it has been downgraded from 6-star hotel to 4-star hotel, what a shame.

Beautiful hotel with unique exterior and interior design, you can see horses every way, of course fake ones. The hotel was very big but it has nothing much but rooms, rooms and more rooms. Swimming pool is so small, no sauna and steam room. From my room to the swimming pool, it takes at least 5 minutes walk.

I didn't have my spa session because of miscommunication with the sales person who sold the package to me in Matta Fair, and I think that I got conned by them. I got attracted by the spa and that is why I will buy it at the first place. I know that the price for the package is underpriced so I double confirm with the sales person before I bought it and she said "Yes" but when I were there, they said no spa included in the package, holy crap, I was so mad. We tried to ask for compensation from the hotel and we demanded for dinner but the Front Desk Manager said she can't give us, and the best she could do is upgrade our rooms to executive suite. A big hotel but can't afford to compensate its customers with dinner for six persons.

And the services in the hotel are really disappointing. I requested for clean towel and waited for awhile before I went for bathe but the towel hasn't been sent to me even after I had finished bathing. The Front Desk Manager promised to make the Sales Manager to give me a call and explain the miscommunication and mistake that its sales member had made but until today, right now, this minute, they haven't call! Won't you be mad if you were me?

I wonder do the other guests think the same way. A lot of celebrities, tycoons and politicians were there like Queen Elizabeth II, Nelson Mandela, David Beckham and the Manchester Football Team, Brazil Football Team, Jackie Chan and many more.

Recently, I had received an email from the Pro Vice-Chancellor and President of Monash University regarding several blogs written by students on the internet which were derogatory in nature and made against the University and its lecturers.

In the email, she also mentioned about there are laws in Malaysia and disciplinary policies at Monash University relating to such matters. The words used in the Blogs could be construed as defamatory or seditious words and constitute offences under the said laws and policies, thereby placing the blogger ("the Offender") in danger of attracting legal action and/or disciplinary action against him/her.

Definitions Words are "defamatory" in nature if the words "tend to lower a person in the estimation of right-thinking members of society generally" (per the Defamation Act 1957) or if the words "makes or publishes any imputation concerning any person, intending to harm, or knowing or having reason to believe that such imputation will harm the reputation of such person" (per the Penal Code (Revised 1997)).

Words are considered "seditious" if they have a tendency to bring into hatred or contempt, excite, raise discontent or disaffection, promote feelings of ill-will and hostility against another person or party (per the Sedition Act 1948).

Consequences/Dangers for using defamatory or seditious words in blogs There are numerous legal and/or disciplinary actions which may be taken against the Offender:-
(i) a civil action for defamation may be initiated in court by the University and/or the offended lecturer against the Offender;
(ii) a criminal action for sedition may be commenced in court by the Authorities against the Offender;
(iii) the University may take disciplinary action against the Offender for committing a misconduct under the Students Disciplinary Policy;
(iv) the University may take disciplinary action against the Offender for committing an offence under the Acceptable Use of Information Technology Facilities By Students Policy

But I am not afraid of speaking out what is on my mind and that will not stop me from doing so! What I am telling is truths and I am expressing out my dissatisfactory about the hotel! I am sorry for my cousins who have bought the package with me, I feel bad for making them wasted their money. Anyway, here are some photos that I have taken in the Palace.
