hahaha..thats how i feel now after missing my kickboxing class for so many days. man,i hope i dont lose touch with it. hehe. :P well,had alot of stuffs to take care of so couldnt find the time to go. sigh,how i miss my kickboxing classes. And next month [September] dont think i'll have enough $$ to pay for my 3 times a week classes cause i'm forking it out of my allowance myself since i started so i dont have any sponsor. Each month i'd have to fork out RM150 so that i can go for 3 times a week classes. I figured why do anything else cause then the exercise won't be enough to make a difference. So now,sigh..i think i might have to stop for 1 month since i can't cough up the moolas for September's class. Sigh,what a drag! Kickboxing has been one of those things i've stuck to for a very very long time and i think it'll be one of those things that i'd be doing even after i get married or have kids. :) pretty sucked into it already. haha. well,if u're wondering what's so great about it? well,come for a free trial class and find out. :) www.tntkickboxing.com

Also since i bought the SLR camera and stuffs and i got an allowance cut because of my new Sony Ericsson K700 for my birthday so now i'm really running very low on the bling-blings. Sigh,this is so not good for me. Guess i'll have to figure out a way to make some cash on the side while studying.

Man,i'm really not feeling well..my throat's been killing me the whole day. Sigh,think i need to get more fluid into my body and maybe more vitamins. ;) Well,just got back from driving around looking for my camera bag with Li Ann and went to Ikano and 1 utama with Li Ann and Elaine and had dinner with Li Ann and Li Mei at Hartamas Square.

Introduced Li Ann and Li Mei to the most delicious, most cheesy and cheapest pizzas in town. :) Had ourselves a regular pizza that has 8 slices but it was really cheesy and filling..man,it was all good! ;) It only cost RM12 for the regular sized pizza and the large will only cost liek RM17. Wide variety of pizzas to choose from so dont think u'll get sick of it so soon. hehe. :P Heard the chef left Pizza Uno or Piccollo Mondo and opened his own,well..just rumours so not very sure how true is the story but he's really good so it doesnt matter. ;) If u're interested in trying the deliciously cheesy pizzas,the stall is located in Hartamas Square and its called Pizza Brava. Wish i could eat more..haha..then it'll just spoil my diet again! Yes, yes..i'm very very conscious about my weight nowadays since i was really really fat in February. :)

Anyway,i did manage to see something i really like when i was in 1 utama with the girls but they manage to stop me from buying it but i think i can't stand it anymore..so i just might go back there to get it..hahaha. :P It's a pair of leather thong sandals from SEED,which i was told by Li Ann..i had too many shoes/sandals/footwear..hehe. :P i think i can safely say that there is no such thing as too many pairs of footwear! ;) there is such a thing as you have too little pairs of footwear! hehehe.

Oh well,guess i better be going to bed since i've gotta wake up early to get to college. Sigh,another day passing without me realising it...Well,people..have a nice day tomorrow and God bless. Good night. :)

Bonjour,people. :) just woke up..feeling pretty sick. sigh,i really think i must have over-wished on being sick to skip class. why can't i just get a little sick during days that i have classes? :P oh well,i think i'm not the only one down with something..apparently Nelson is also down with flu and erm..some other people are down with something too. :) so at least i'm not alone. haha.

Well,as i was saying..i've already gotten the camera but today..guess i'll go try my luck and search for my camera bag. :) but i think its gonna be pretty hard since it's merdeka day. Yay,MERDEKA! hehe. :P Thats how patriotic i'll get so there! ;) Oh yeah,i've gotta get to Yvonne's place to get the last song so that i can start burning the CDs for the music thats gonna be played during the dinner. :)

Yes,me the DJ for the night..oh well,not really DJ lar cause i just need to play it and erm..i didnt really choose the songs so erm..oh alright,i'm not the DJ but at least give me some credit,ok. :) And it's true..i talk to myself alot..as you can see from the sentences above. :) That's me..Koookhooo!

If you like the comic strips being around everytime i blog then do let me know..coz i'm kinda running out of good strips to post. :) well,i'm kinda lazy now cause i'll have to view through all the archives to search for strips that are funny..well,funny to me. :)

Oh well,guess i better go take some panadols now and try to get well so i can get to college tomorrow..sigh,what a holiday! Gotta call Yvonne soon so i can get over there to get the simple stuffs done first. :) then i can concentrate on my quest of my search for my camera bag.

Ah yes,before i forget..the french lesson for today. :) "Le malade en tant que malade peut être" means "The patient as a patient can be"..well,it doesn't sound right but i was trying to go for "Sick as sick can be" but sick got translated as patient..so erm..hehehe..i hope its correct..If there's anybody that knows french out there and u're reading this,please tell me if thats correct. :) so "Au revoir."

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!




Baby Blues - 190198, originally uploaded by hanlian.

hi,people. :) happy merdeka day to you if you're a malaysian. and if you're not then happy merdeka day to you too..hahaha. :P oh well,its the 47th national day which is coincidently the age of my dad. :) his birthday was 2 days before merdeka. too bad cause if he was a merdeka baby then our family would be invited to alot of parties during merdeka day and stuffs like that. :) oh well...

anyways,just got back from nelson's stagnight party at Jared's place. there were like erm...8 of us guys including Nelson whom is getting married this sunday to the very beautiful and lovely Yvonne. :) [i was paid to say that..hahaha,just kidding] anyway,we had dinner together then we made Nelson dress up in a suit with a bright green tie and a white stripped pink shirt with bermudas and dress shoes with the white socks showing. We then proceeded to making him walk around MVM [Midvalley MegaMall] in that super duper cool outfit ;) trying to get 10 strangers to sign a petition supporting his efforts of marrying Yvonne. :)

It was pretty interesting and a good expedition coz 1stly we didnt get chase out by the guards like the last time we did it during Jared's stagnight party. :) 2ndly, we got the girls to be there so that Yvonne could see his knight in shining armour..well,it was ermm..knight with bad taste armour kind of thing. hehe..anyway,we made Nelson propose again to Yvonne in front of the crowd but not many people were paying attention..guess we should have made Nelson wear the bright yellow shorts instead of the blue bermudas..hehehe. :P all in all it was a fun night coz after the expedition,we got back to Jared's place for ice-cream and some interrogation about the hows,whens,whys,whats of their 8 years relationship. :)

Well,Nelson did promise sweet revenge upon the next person that's gonna get married. so erm..good luck to the next person then...hahaha. :P which is why i tried to help nelson out in the end trying to save my own skin..lest incase next time i'll be required to do such feats again..haha. :P

Well,today wasn't that a bad day for me cause at least i managed to get my SLR camera. even though it wasn't the 2nd F80 camera that i was suppose to go check out today with Timothy at Pudu Plaza. But he got there 1st and checked it out but there was some rust on it so i was told that it wasn't a good deal so that means i had to go look for a brand new camera now.

It was really interesting cause in a span of just 2 hours,i managed to get from SS2 in Petaling Jaya down to Pertama Complex within the hour so that i could buy a F75D from a camera shop recommended by Timothy again. Really owe him big time for all this recommendation and all. :) Anyway,so i got to Pertama Complex around 4.30pm and i managed to leave that place with my new SLR camera around 5pm. Suprisingly,i didnt encounter much traffic jam while making my way back to PJ to get Francis and head to buying dinner and going to Jared's place for the party. :)

So all in all,today wasn't such a bad day after all. But a word of advice..please dont drive when u're depressed or feeling down. You don't react so well to CRAZY malaysian drivers that piss u off even more. :) i think i used the horn alot today while driving around KL and back to PJ..hehe..so if u were one of those that got horned by a Toyota Altis in KL/PJ around 2pm - 5pm then my sincere apologies. :) Its just my uncontrollable emotions running wild.

so people,its time for me to go read the manual for my new SLR F75D camera before i go to bed. Yes,even though i'm suppose to be a sanguine..i still read the manual just to get a handle on things. :) oh yes,about the comic strip. :) i find that maybe thats why i'm thinking about not having so many kids next time..hahaha.. :P oh well,i'm just kidding. so "Bonne nuit et rêves plaisants, mes amis" [Good night and pleasant dreams,my friends]

Calvin & Hobbes - 290893, originally uploaded by hanlian.

Good morning..woke up with a bad headache. think i must have over-wished being sick so that i can skip class today. sigh,how useless/lame can a person get? Yes,as u can tell from the statement above..i'm not feeling very perky today. but this strip from Calvin & Hobbes did cheer me up abit as they always do. :)

Told my dad about the SLR camera that i needed to buy last night when he was watching the olympics. Think he wasnt really that happy about me having to spend money again. Sigh,am i in the wrong field? Did i make a wrong decision in changing from a cheap computer studies course in Informatics to a super duper expensive multimedia course in LUCT? What is wrong with me?

Sigh,ever since i started this course..all i've ever been doing is asking for more money to buy more art materials. i think til today,i've spent more here in just 1 and 1/2 semester than what i've spent in Informatics for 3 years. Really,can anyone tell me..did i make the right decision? the amount i've paid for all the art materials,i think can be equivalent to the amount i need to pay for one semester in Informatics.

What am i doing with my life? Does this mean that you can't do what you really love to do but instead u'll have to choose what is affordable and not really in ur interest? What is my interest? What have i been doing with my life? Sigh,so many questions that nobody can answer..not even myself.

Have i done anything that i can be proud of? All these years, people have been telling me.."oh,you have a temper better keep it in check." or "why did u do this, or why did u do that?" See,what does that tell u? What a useless life i've been living...oh sure,u can say..i'm a christian..that must mean something. yeah,right..i've not shared to anyone before. what do i do? i try to serve by playing the guitar which i'm not really good at. i try to serve in doing the multimedia but i suck at trying to keep the files in order. What else have i done wrong in this life? I couldnt even start to count cause i'd be sleeping from all the counting.

Yeah,very depressed i am today. Well,its just me. As i look back through all these 22 years i've been alive on this earth,i've nothing to be proud of. I screwed up all the relationships that i had. Couldn't even make a relationship work cause all i did was force someone into loving me and in the end,she realised that she loved another person. The girl rejected me 3 times,man.. 3 TIMES! wouldnt a sane man take that BIG hint and stop haressing her? But no,i just went on and one like a stalker. And whats the consequences of being a stalker? The girl leaves u cause you're not the one she actually loves.

Yeah,i know..i'm really really very insane right now. Feeling so useless and lame and such a big fat @$$hole. Still gonna go and get the SLR camera in the afternoon and later in the evening there's a stagnight thing for Nelson. He's getting married next week to Yvonne. I'm gonna be playing the guitar again and taking care of the music. Hope that event will cheer me up. Else it'll be back to thinking about ending my own life..which isn't the first time.

Come to think of it..it's really not a bad idea. what's the use of being alive when u have NOTHING to show for..what is wrong with me? Sigh,well..thats me and this blogs is only for me to read..so whoever u are. Don't judge me for who i am; take a walk in my life, be in my position and be who i am. Have fun.

oh yeah, if u havent figured out what "Pourquoi Est-ce que Je Suis Si Inutile?" means it just wraps up what i've been talking about this whole blog. "Why am i so useless?" Enjoy the day,my friends..maybe the comic strip will cheer up ur day.

Baby Blues - 010198, originally uploaded by hanlian.

hello,loyal citizens of my small little world. :) just got back from dinner..man there was so much food,i think i can last for like a day before i need to eat again. :P i think all this eating is really cutting into my diet plan. :) anyways,we had the family dinner at a restaurant in Lucky Garden,Bangsar called 'Ipoh Old Town'..which is trying to recreate the olden type of restaurant ambience and stuffs. Very cozy and nice. :) most importantly is that the food was good and their coffee is super with the toast bread..just like how it was last time. ;)

then we got back to my aunt's place for cake and the F1 race as well as the rerun of the Arsenal vs Norwich City match. pretty interesting coz this is the first time ever i've seen so many tyre punctures in a race..it was like 4th of July except for the fireworks u get tyres going off like balloons. :) very interesting indeed. hehe. :P

Well,as for the potbless today..we had alot of spaghetti..well, 9 different types of spaghetti for that matter,3 types of shepard's pie made by 3 different people and loads of other goodies..i think if someone just walk in for the food,they would think it's an italian food fest and not a malaysian potbless. :P i'm not saying it wasnt good. :) it's just that..there will come a time when u'd have to say 'That's too much spaghetti!' hehe. ;) anyway,its all good. :)

i'm still feeling pretty sick though..i think i should take some panadols before i sleep tonight. well then again,i shouldnt so that i'd make sure that i wont need to go to college tomorrow..hahaha. :P well,i've already decided not to go to college coz i'll have to go get my SLR camera tomorrow afternoon with Timothy but i still haven't ask my dad for the cash yet..sigh,how to ask lar?!?! somebody please HELP me!

actually,i think i should be going for tomorrow's class coz i've been missing for that particular class which is Design Studies 2 for like the past 4 times. That's also translated to i've not been to that class since college started. :P i hope i dont get a letter for that just yet..well,i've already gotten an insight of what is needed to be done so i guess i just need to attend the class for attendance sake and erm..well,get into the good grades of my lecturer which might be pretty difficult this semester coz most of them are male and the female lecturers are pretty hard to get to.. :P so wish me luck in operation suck up for good grades. may operation suck up for good grades commence as planned which i've not planned. ;) so erm..lets just see how good i am,shall we? hehe.

guess i should stop for now..since some people *ahem* was saying that i'm still pretty long-winded..which i guess i am. :) so..oh yeah,french class shall commence now. :) "Je Suis Si Plein" means "I'm so full". which is the feeling i'm having now. :) "Bonne nuit, mes sujets fidèles" [Good night,my loyal(faithful) subjects]. hehe. :)

Je Suis épuisé




Tak Nak, originally uploaded by hanlian.

Hi,got back from church like an hour ago..feeling really really tired and sleepy and exhausted now..sigh,i wonder why..i'm still not feeling very well..my body is still aching and i'm still having the stupid headache. sigh,what is wrong with me?!?!! i better still sick tomorrow else it'll just be a waste of my weekend.. :P

if u're wondering why i posted this skeleton having a cigarette in his mouth picture..well,this is the result of someone not paying attention in his life drawing class. hehe. :P well,u cant blame me for being erm...creative,rite? hehehe. :P i was just erm..bored. :P so i had some fun with the skeleton that i was suppose to draw. hehe. ;)

If u see it as me being a lazybum then i'd say that u're wrong coz at least i have here with me an idea that blood (read : money) sucking LUCT can steal from their students which they do ALL the time and use it for their current campaign 'TAK NAK'. Dont think it'll do much good though since most of the LUCT students and lecturers are in fact smokers! hahaha. :P

can u visualize the tagline for this picture?? :P "This Is What Smoking Do To You!" :) well,i'm not really that good with copywriting anyway.. :P oh well,so now you know what LUCT students do when they're bored in class.. :P well,for me anyway..i'll try my very best to amuse myself in class..hahaha. :P

oh well,guess i better log off and get some shut-eye..gotta get to my aunt's place at Taman Seputeh for my dad's birthday dinner cum monthly family gathering thing at 7pm. Oh yeah,that reminds me..i still have to look for a good opportunity to ask my dad for some funds..sigh,remember i was saying i need to get a SLR camera soon cause the one that i borrowed from Dax is erm...dirty..well,the lens are dirty and kinda beyond cleaning..as i was told by the guy from the camera shop..

Well,i'll have to get like RM1,500 coz of the other stuffs i'll need to get for the SLR camera..the body itself is already like RM770 for a 2nd hand..and i've gotta get a standard focus lens with a UV filter and a macro zoom lens too..if not u wont be able to use the SLR camera..DUH!! hehe. :P oh well,i guess its not really a super duper blow since i'm gonna be using it again during semester 4 and maybe i'll get into this photography cult as how i've gotten into this blogging cult as well as my kickboxing cult..hahaha. :P i wonder how many things can i be interested in at one time?? hmmm.. :P

ah yes,as well..for today's french lesson. :) "Je Suis épuisé" means "I'm Exhausted". Hopefully after so many lessons..you should know by now that "Je Suis" means "I'm" or "I Am". :) man,this blogging thing is not only..erm,whats that word...ahhh... ;) liberating. :P yes,this blogging thing is not only liberating but also very educational..hahaha. :P for me and those that are actually spending their time reading my boring blogs..hahaha. :P

well,thank you for reading and do leave a tag on my tagboard lar if u've been visiting at least i know who's been coming to my site. :) and also make my tagboard more lively..coz now it looks like i'm talking to myself..haha..people will start to think that i'm schizophrenic. :P

man...i'm so bored. :P and i'm kinda feeling sickish..i've not gotten sick for a very very long time..but hmmm,maybe i should get sick on monday..hahaha. :P anyways,just came on to blog again.. ;) just finished my lonely dinner..was suppose to go for the Sunrise Carlsberg Jazz Festival again tonight but nobody was interested to go with me..so i decided to go to William's mamak at taman Mayang to 'tapau' (read = take away) dinner then get home ASAP to have my dinner while sitting in front of the tube...something which i've not done for a very very long time...sitting in front of the tube that is. :)

Well,it wasnt really that bad cause i got to see something really funny on my way to William's..if you're familiar with the Taman Megah and Taman Mayang area..you would have passed an orphanage located near the main road between Taman Megah and Taman Mayang..anyway,there was something going on at the orphanage today..must be something special cause there were alot of people and a caterer's van and can u imagine..a clown! hahaha. :P and i saw the clown getting out of his proton and trying to get all his gear together before he gets his groove on for the kids. :)

but the best thing was when i saw the clown beside his car..it got me to thinking..how would he feel or better yet,how would a policeman feel or react when he stops a driver for speeding or whatever and finds that the driver is a clown..hahaha..wouldnt that be funny..coz i mean the clown that i saw was in his full outfit and i mean FULL!! from the clothes to the makeup and all..hahaha. :P can u imagine how funny it would be?? the clown will go "Sorry officer, i was in a hurry to get to work,have to get to a 6 years old kid's birthday party." *honk* *honk* goes his red honky nose.. "Can give chance ar,boss?" :P hahahhaa..or better yet..how would u react when u're happily driving one day and u stop at a traffic light and u turn to ur side,guessing maybe u'll see a pretty girl or an old man or whoever but u find...a CLOWN?? hahaha...a clown in full uniform? haha.. :P what a funny sight! ;) :P

ok ok..u might be thinking what's so funny about that but hey,its not always u get to see a clown driving around town,ok..haha. :P i hope i'm not telling one of those stories where u'll have to be there to understand it kinda thing..coz then it'll just sound like i'm stupid/lame/DUH!! ;) :P anyway,i'm not like Li Ann..i dont get amused so easily..hehe. ;) Now that's one girl that can laugh at a drop of a dime..well,at a drop of a joke anyway.. :P Man,this headache is really getting to me..i hope its not because of the food..shucks. :)

Currently Listening To : Eu Te Devoro - Djavan.

Oh by the way,if you haven't notice the changes i've made to my blog..then i hope u do now..hehe. :P trying to spice up my blogspot..even though not many people do come and visit..well,not many people know anyway..haha. :P oh well,i dont care/mind. :) the blog is for myself mostly anyway,just a place where i can vent/express/...etc etc.. :) creative people gotta have something like this,rite?? :P

Ah yes,back to the Jazz Fest..tonight the fest will be featuring Baby Jazz and Steve Thornton. well,who cares..i'm not there anyway,and i'm having a freaking bad headache now..sigh..guess i'll be sleeping early tonight. Tomorrow gotta get up early for church..gonna have to prep some stuffs for pastor's sermon so guess i'll have to be there early or something. :) well,i think anyone who's been paying attention would realise that i'm not really a very good christian.. :P well,not 'hot' enough anyway.. ;) so sue me..i'm erm...well,whatever. Looking forward for tomorrow also coz we'll be having a potbless after service..for those who are wondering what the heck is a potbless,well..its like a potluck but because we dont believe in luck so we called it potbless..innovative aren't we? hehehe. :P

well,tomorrow is also my dad's birthday so we'll be having a family dinner to celebrate it..with my mom's sisters and brother as well..so it's a big thing i guess..well,not really that big but we do have like big family dinners with my mom's sisters and brother and my grandma every month..i guess its good coz then it'll keep everybody in the family close to and the cousins close too...

As well,if u've been around my blog..and have been paying attention..i would usually be listening to music by this artist named "Djavan". Brazillian,erm..not very sure about his background and stuffs and not really sure about what he's singing about but at least its not about killing/murder/rape or whatever else that's not good. :) but the song that i'm currently listening 'Eu te devoro'..well,i'm guessing its about love..well,the translator program at google.com couldn't really translate everything so i'll just have to assume. :)

If u're wondering how a malaysian young punk wandered into listening to some guy from brazil well its because Evelyn..well,her sister actually Yvonne introduced it to me while we were choosing songs for her wedding but it was because Evelyn was learning how to play that particular song when she was still taking guitar classes from HELP. Apparently,nelson has grown to hating that song..hahaha. well,tough luck my friend..u'll be listening to it when u're having ur wedding dinner..muahaha. :P i've downloaded some of his other works and i must say..this guy can really play the guitar or write his own songs [i'm assuming again ;)] stuffs that remind me of the times when i was on redang or lang tengah island. :)

oh well,guess i should go to bed already..since it's already 10pm..today is the only day i think i'm sleeping so early!! :P well,i'm off..so please do try and check out the stuffs i've just placed in my blogspot. :) i guess u can use the tag-board to tell me what u think about the blog or whatever else u wanna write. :) oh yeah,check out the free daily comics too..so have fun. :)

oh i forgot.. ;) "Je Me Sens Malade" means "I Feel Sick" which is what i'm feeling now..sigh..oh well.. :) i think i'm really getting good at this french thing..coz at least now i know that "Je Me" can mean "me","my" and etc etc. ;) so "Bonne nuit et rêves doux, mes amis" = "Good night and sweet dreams,my friends." :)

Toilette Folle




Crazy Toilet, originally uploaded by hanlian.

Good morning people.. :) just got up..i think today is the only day during this week i got to sleep til so late.. ;) usually i'd have to wake up around 7am and get ready to get to college..what a mundane week. well,except for the Jazz Fest. :)

oh,if u're wondering why i put up a picture of a toilet bowl..this is coz i would like to show the good people of the world how crazy/"Folle" malaysian can be when trying to safekeep/protect public property such as a toilet bowl. This can be found at the Taman Paramount LRT station's toilet. Apparently it is the same in the ladies' toilet as well. how sakai/jakun/crazy do these people this malaysians ar?? do they really have to put such things in there to make sure the people using the toilet facilities do not sit on top of the toilet bowl???

i mean...if the people that uses it really do sit on top of the toilet bowl then i think they are really like monkeys. wait,i think calling them monkey would really insult the monkeys too..anyway,enough of that. :) so this is how futuristic malaysian are right now. :) very good. Go wawasan 2020! hahaha. :P

Tout Ce Jazz

Friday, August 27, 2004

Ahhh,at last i can blog..hehe. :P i just got back from erm..being out the whole day. :) had life drawing class today and thank goodness it ended at 1pm. then took a nap at Li Ann's place and got a call from Elaine asking me to go down to KLCC with her to recon some more stuffs for her over-demanding client. And the finale of my day was when i went for the Sunrise Carlsberg Jazz Festival. :) it was all good! i think good can't even be used to begin describing the sweet sweet sound i heard at tonight's gig. :) Well,its safe to say now that the highlight of my week was being able to be there when Groove Unction with Jose Thomas made sweet music and lead on vocals by Malaysia's very own Mia Palencia. :) Definitely the best female jazz vocalist in Malaysia. :) The band was really tight..so tight that when a new bottle of peanut butter sees them perform, it'll go "Man,this band is tight." ;) Personally, its really good to see that malaysians are actually stepping up and at least getting better in the music scene especially in the jazz category. That was just the better half of the night coz before Groove Unction came on there were a few bands from musiccanteen.com which are a bunch of malaysians trying to kickstart their own careers in the music industry. It was interesting and not to say that they were bad but it's just that they werent playing jazz...yeah,i know its good exposure for them but erm...its a JAZZ FEST?!?!!? what were they thinking? have their own festival or something!! :P guess i better be logging off and sleep. :) shouldnt be sleeping so late..erm,i mean so early everyday..hahaha.. :P ah ha,i've managed not to be so long-winded already..hahaha. :) take that u erm..erm...take that world..hehe. :P oh,who am i kidding..i think the next blog be very long-winded as the others. so "Bonne nuit et rêves doux" my good friends. :) "Faites l'amour et pas faites la guerre." hahahaha...this is a really funny translation..hehehe..i hope its correct lar..but it means "Make love and not made the war"...hahaha..go figure. ;) :P "Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body." -Oliver Wendell Holmes; US author & physician (1809 - 1894)-

Pour Être Fou Ou Pour Ne pas être Fou? C'Est La Question.

hahaha..really can identify with this comic strip lar..hehehe.. :P i hope none of my course-mates read this blog else i think they wont be asking me to join their group during any group assignments. hehe. :P

i just realise that after looking at all the blogs i've posted so far that i am really very long-winded lar. hehehe..is that a bad thing? man,i think maybe all my blogs are so long coz i'm just being really expressive. :P i hope it just doesnt make me look like i'm donald..hahaha. :P

and another thing,if u've been keeping track..this blog and the blog before this shows that my emotional graph is going on an uphill climb again...which is a good thing coz that means the time i spend on my emotional downhill is pretty short. If u've known me for a long time,i guess u can say that i spend a longer time downhill more than uphill..well,i do have my high-points but i guess last time it didnt last as long as i wanted it to last. :) i wonder what does it mean.. ;) maybe it means nothing, maybe it means i'm just a really 'fou'.. ;) 'fou' = 'insane'.

Feeling really hungry right now coz i didnt have dinner, coz as u would read before this..i usually dont have dinners/suppers on weekday nights. i try my very best but sometimes i do fail and eat..hehe..what to do..i'm still human. :) Trying to lose weight by dieting and doing kickboxing and jogging..its working but i think now i should concentrate more on losing the fats around my waist area. ;) then at least when i wear something tight,it wont show and humiliate myself. hehe. :P

ok ok,i admit..i'm pretty conscious about how i look. i love to look good in my clothes,so sue me,i'm a metrosexual.. :) or at least i try to be..hehehe.. :P i guess thats what i have to do when u arent good looking.. hahaha..try to make your other feature look the best to cover up the flaws. :P

oh well,i better be going to bed..since tonight is the only night i'm sleeping early and not the early type of early..get what i mean?!!? ;) :P

oh yes,if u're wondering what does 'Pour Être Fou Ou Pour Ne pas être Fou? C'Est La Question.' means its 'To be Insane Or not to be Insane? It Is The Question.' i was trying to go for 'To Be Crazy Or Not To Be Crazy? That Is The Question.' but i guess this will do just fine. hehe. :P so good night,my good listeners. :)

Ah, Quel Jour!



Oh,what a day! :) translated as 'Ah, Quel Jour!' which i hope is correct bcoz when i tried to translate it back is 'Quel' = 'Which' and 'Jour' = 'Day'. interesting, isn't it? :) My blog is not only boring bcoz it only contains unhappening events of my life but also how to speak french. hehehe. :P well,today was a pretty hectic day for me. i think today can be considered as the first most hectic day since i've started my 2nd semester for the year. Apparently, for today's photography class we were told to develop our own film if we're finish a roll of black&whites so that we can have a rough idea of how well we can manage with our own SLR cameras. This is not good bcoz i'm kinda worried that i'll destroy the roll of film before i can even develop it and see how good/bad i did with my on-loan SLR camera. :) First things first,this morning was the worst traffic jam i've ever experienced this year. Well, that was because on my way to CyberJaya...i've managed to notice 3 accidents which most likely caused the stupid traffic jam. The first one was just after the Sunway toll on the LDP,which always happens on the overhead bridge then the 2nd one happened on the overhead bridge on the way into CyberJaya and the 3rd one was the worst accident which happened just before LUCT and after the 2nd accident area. The last accident was pretty bad, so bad that if u've ever wished that Proton came out with a convertable Proton Wira then seeing the car after the accident then u'll have a rough idea how it looked like. Sources said that the car had to be cut into pieces to rescue the 2 or more victims out of the car that was wrapped around the tree. This is definitely not the first accident to happen on that stretch of road just before LUCT and leading into CyberJaya. Hopefully the victims weren't LUCT students because we just had to do some serious campaigning about speeding. How ironic it would be if the victims were one of those involved in the campaigns. :) well,its not laughing matter but then again..when will the people ever learn that speed kills u faster than AIDS do..hahaha. :P anyway, that was a very eventful morning..so eventful that i was feeling kinda lazy. ;) maybe it was just me. :P Oh yes,back to my hectic day... :P so after the morning photography class, we had our ERS..erm,cant really remember what it stands for but its our communication studies class. pretty interesting as we got to do a small test survey before we start on the 1st draft. :) Class ended around 3pm then we got to watch a bunch of pretty models practicing for some big upcoming fashion show thats gonna be held at the MDTC aka Design Centre. Too bad i didnt have any more film in my SLR camera else i would have been really busy taking photos of the beautiful models practicing..hehehe.. :P what a waste.. ;) After that really lovely performance by the lovely models, i went downtown to the Central Market area to look for my Kodak TMAX 400 black&white films..which when i went to the shop recommended by Timothy were not available. Only the TMAX 100 were in stock which was definitely not the type of film i was looking..so i had to go do some recon work around that area and finally after a phone call to my collage mate,i found a shop inside Central Market that does have the Kodak TMAX 400 films..it was kinda over-priced i guess coz i was kinda expecting it to cost around RM10 since i was buying a dozen roll of film but i got it for RM12.20 which was suppose to be the student price. Not so convincing thats for sure. ;) Anyway,now all i have to do is just to get my 2nd hand F80 SLR camera and i can start shooting again. ;) :P It seems that Dax's SLR camera is starting to get mouldy so i was told that the photos that's taken with a mouldy camera would cause the pictures to turn out less attractive..so guess i'll have to get one SLR camera for myself. :) After that exciting expedition of locating my films,i had to rush back to get Elaine coz our 'Princess High 'N' Mighty Big-Shot Told-You-So Boss of the World' wanted to go to Berjaya Times Square in search of some props needed for a shoot. So i got to experience trying to get back to PJ during rush-hour..which i find it interesting that the slowest moving time of the day is called 'Rush-Hour'...hmmm.. ;) well,it was interesting coz i got to force my way into the sardine-packed LRT train and i got to meet alot of new people in the train through their super duper awful BO..man,i didnt know that there was so many different kinds of BO...so now i know,which i hoped i never had to find out..but i did.. :) All in all it was all good, at least i had something to do.. :) so now i'm here blogging again when i should be finishing and touching up on my assignments. :) i'm being very 'paresseux' again. ;) oh well,better do something that i can show for tomorrow's life drawing class..which i'm suppose to have at least 40 gesture drawings of people in motion. oh well,can't worry to much about it..its all about either i did it or i didn't do it.. :P coz "Worrying is like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere". :) "Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative." -Oscar Wilde, Irish dramatist, novelist, & poet (1854 - 1900)-

Hahaha..what a funny strip. ;) i think i can understand how sometimes u meet people that tries to be funny but they aren't be funny..hehehe. :P so i guess maybe this will help. hehe. :P

man,i must be getting into some weird shit. Been sleeping pretty late these few nights and its really not doing me any good coz apparently with the eye-bags i look like a official LUCCT student. This statement came from my little mortal thats studying her @$$ off in IACT. :) really dont think i wanna have the LUCCT student look lar,please..coz we're always boxed into the 'Rich kid,Don't know what to do with their extra cash, Trying to be with the cool crowd' type of person if u study in LUCCT.

anyways,i think i should be going to bed already..else i'll be late again just like yesterday. sigh,couldnt even have breakfast yesterday coz i woke up late. I wonder if this is an usual practice for creative people? hehehe. :P maybe creative people just work better during the odd-hours of the day. :) oh well..'Don't be a fool, stay in school' coz that's where all the happening stuffs happen. ;) :P

Je Suis Fatigué

Wednesday, August 25, 2004

It seems my french titled blogs have been quite a good learning experience for some people thats been reading my blog. interesting.. ;) or should i say Intéresser. :) well,actually i cant seem to get interesting to be translated into french but apparently 'Intéresser' is suppose to mean 'To Interest'...oh well,go figure..cant always get the correct translation by just using something that's free. :) so no licence to complain about it. so try figuring out what 'Je Suis Fatigué' means...if u're interested. :) Got back from the maybank mamak in SEAPark after prayer meeting. Think i've been going for mamak again pretty regularly since coming back from pulau lang tengah..this is so not good. it's not doing me any good for my diet plan. oh well,cant really fight my compelling urge to have piping hot nasi lemak with a nice ayam goreng peha. :) well,was there with Dax,Evelyn,James,Christina,Nelson&Francis. It was a pretty loaded conversation with the newly-weds about their erm..hehehe..newly found activities..haha. :P Hold on first,dont judge me yet..i didnt start that topic with them..i was just an innocent spectator and official laugh-at-joke person. hehe. ;) anyways,it was nice lar to hear of how exciting their honeymoon trip to Hong Kong was. :) Well,for me today was an interesting day coz i was expecting the day's classes would be pretty boring and actually the first half of the day was pretty boring coz i was having again the Malaysian Studies class. Man,how boring can malaysian history be? Boring enough to make a sane person go CRAZY!! :P anyways,during the 2nd half of the day i had history of art which was suprisingly interesting. :) i was kinda expecting it to be boring as it was the last class and hoping it would end in like 40minutes just as it was last week. hehee. ;) but things were very different this time round,which was good coz we were shown a few paintings from some famous artists such as Michangelo, Donatello, Leonardo da Vinci and many others. It was a very interesting class coz we got to discuss each painting with the lecturer and how i've come to the conclusion that most great male artists are infact gay! not gay = happy but as in gay = homosexual! :) so dont think i'll be walking down that road of being a famous artist. :) ok,if u're still wondering what does 'Je Suis Fatigué' means..its 'I'm Tired'. so i'm gonna say 'Bonne nuit, mes amis' and 'Rêves Doux'. :) this is gonna be really funny...coz 'Rêves Doux' if translated is 'Soft Dreams' which is pretty far from what i intended to say that was 'Sweet Dreams'..hehehe..oh well,you win some and you lose some. :) so good night, my friends and sweet dreams. :) "I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business." -Michael J. Fox (1961 - ), quoted by Lorne A. Adrain in 'The Most Important Thing I Know'-

Je Suis Paresseux

Tuesday, August 24, 2004

Another day in college...what a drag,man. It's even worse when u didn't complete an assignment due on that day..as which is the thing that's happening to me now. :) hey,dont hate the player, just hate the game. :P it doesn't sound like it's working for this situation but hey,i dont care. :) Tomorrow is gonna be another boring day cause i'll be having malaysian studies and history or art again...u know,i just realise i started blogging around this same time last week. Oh my goodnes,how fast time flies...man,i'm getting older by the second and i'm still fooling around like this..what the hell is wrong with me?!?!? anyways,i better be getting back to my work...i'm now sitting in the library listening to music and suppose to be doing the work that i didnt do that was due today..and i still have the work for tomorrow's class which is gonna take a hell of a time to complete coz it'll take tons of time to do the research. so people,chill. oh by the way, if u're wondering.. 'Je Suis Paresseux' means 'I'm lazy' in french..trying to sound really interesting and like a smarty-pants by trying to have something foreign in my blog. :) whatever.

Est-ce que Je Suis Fou?

Monday, August 23, 2004

if u're wondering what that means..thats french for 'Am I Insane?' actually,i was trying to go for 'Am I Crazy?' but it came out as 'Am I Insane?' guess it'll still work the same lar. Sometimes,i really wonder and ask myself...am i crazy/insane/weird?!?! and honestly,i cant answer that question..so is that a sign that i am crazy/insane/weird?!?! how do u describe crazy/insane/weird? well,maybe its easy to describe crazy & insane. :) but what about weird?? who is to say who is weird? i always...well,most of the time i keep thinking of things that never happen or things that i'm really afraid of happening. i wonder if there are people like me on this planet..and if there is..could those people please share with me how u deal with stuffs like these?!?!?! it's really frustrating when i do it even when i try consciously not to do it. sigh...i sense my emotional graph going downhill soon. it's kinda on the climax/top of the hill already. if u were reading my blogs since i started u would have noticed that i was pretty happy during the past week..maybe it was also bcoz i just got back from a holiday in pulau lang tengah with my church friends. now,things are starting to go back to normal and i just started my 2nd semester..so i guess the graph is going thru its natural motion. Up and down, up and down, that's what makes the world go round. [If you have watched 'The Sword In The Stone' cartoon as many times as i have then u'll get understand where this sentence came from. :)] sigh...i wonder,can we ever control how we feel? do humans actually have control? To decide how or what they want to feel? if u cant,does that make u weird/crazy/insane? I've come to realise as well that music do play a very big part on how u feel too..well,for me when i'm feeling sad..slow songs are the only thing that i'll listen to..ie: Vonda Shepard, Shawn Colvin, Lisa Loeb & etc.etc. Yeah,i know people will say,just dont listen to them...try to change to something thats upbeat..well,yeah..try saying that when u're in that position,man. Don't just say things just for the sake of saying things,man.. u know most people that try to console u or try to give u 'positive' suggestions when u're down and out are always saying things that are really easier said than done..they really tick me off even more sometimes and that is the worse feeling ever...u're already sad at that point of time and they make u pissed..so u're sad and angry at the same time and there's no point of release for those feelings...i mean,yeah u can go and say 'Why don't you step into my shoes and try saying those words you've just said to me and try it yourself?' sometimes when i am in that situation..i really wanted to do that but i realise...just let it go,man..no use burning someone else just coz u're in a bad mood or a sad situation and that person ticked u off or caught u at the wrong time.. i know i've actually burned some people that caught me at the wrong time..and thats why i can say that its really not a good thing to do..even though u're so tempted to do so...u just really sigh...cant control ur emotions...so thats why it comes back to the question... 'Est-ce que Je Suis Fou?' sigh,dont mind me..its just that emotional downhill of me doing all the talking now..so could anybody answer that question for me after reading this blog? thats why i really cant describe myself..well,maybe for some stuffs of me i could but honestly i think i'm really really unstable. :) so stick around and be the judge yourself if u wanna know me. :) but then again..who would actually want to know me...ok ok..God knows me..blah,blah,blah...i'm really sorry but i'm really not in the holy,holy,spiritual point right now..so dont give me all the spiritual talk about how and what and why and things that u should do or think..coz it's not gonna work. Well,its just me..maybe its different with other people... oh yeah,well..the kinda high point of my evening was when i saw a comment posted by a stranger that found my blog..which was something suprising for me coz i didnt realise someone would actually be able to find my blog..anyways,i'm guessing it's a 'she' coz of her name Caressa...apparently after reading my blogs,she found that our interests are parallel to each other even though we're so far apart. so i guess that was kinda interesting for me coz it didnt really dawn on me that there are people on this planet that might be like a replica of ur own self...well,in interest anyway. :) well,i better stop now...gotta wake up early for class tomorrow. Gotta pick up Li Ann on the way to college and maybe have breakfast before we leave PJ and head for CyberJaya..sigh,what a long drive..i just hope i dont forget to bring whatever important things that i'll need else i'll just to take a super-duper long drive back home and to college again. What dodo-head..sigh. Well,good night people or good morning to those on the west-side. Peace,my brothers. "You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it." -Robin Williams (1951 - )-

Lazy Monday...



Currently Listening To : Eu Te Devoro - Djavan. Just got back from the children church retreat at Bukit Tinggi. I think all children church events can also be called a food fest coz the amount of food we had,man...can feed a whole army,man..hahaha. :P well,it was a good retreat i guess...got to spend some time with the teachers and learn some new stuffs from Siew Peng, Chia Yeng and Alex about how to reach out to the children, lead them in praise & worship and learn about how to capture their attentions. :) above those really wonderful information, i also got to talking to Timothy about photography stuffs which was good for me since i'm having a photography class this semester. :) asked him to help me scout for a 2nd-hand camera that hopefully it'll only cost around RM1,500. Dont really want to spend so much since i'm still unsure if i'm gonna be really into this photography thing.. ;) actually,i should well...i should be well on my way home from class right now if i had went for class this morning..hahaha. :P very bad boy huh. ;) :P oh well,i think i'll manage since we've already gotten the brief for the assignment for this class so i'm safe. :) just need to be more discipline to do what i need to do. :) and right now i should be working on my assignment for tomorrow's class which i haven't even gotten the materials for it yet..so i think i can safely say for now that i'm gonna crash & burn for tomorrow's class..hahaha.. :P die! :P think i'm taking this too lightly huh..definitely not a good thing..maybe i'm more excited and concerned about my photography class. hmmm.. ;) *ponder* Currently Listening To : We Built This City On Rock & Roll - Jefferson Starship. well,i better be heading off to get my art materials for my assignment and get to my kickboxing class. :) really should be working out after the weekend food fest..oh my goodness,i just realise that i've been eating alot since saturday's food fest at the Lim family's place and on sunday at Bukit Tinggi and this morning's erm...super duper heavy brunch..and guess what,we had lunch at 1.30pm just like 1 hour after our heavy brunch..hahaha..i think all children church teachers will never go hungry coz there's always an endless supply of food! hehehe. :P

Food Fest!!

Saturday, August 21, 2004

oh my goodness,just got back from Madam Lim's 3rd and last anniversary service at the Lim family's residence. i've been there since the passing of Madam Lim, played for the funeral service, the 1st anniversary service, 2nd and the 3rd. Each year there'll always be tons of great food overflowing, and each year i get home stuffed and happy. haha.. :P Each time the musicians would also get an appreciation gift from the Lim family for the service provided voluntarily, usually it'll be famous amos cookies and a Christian CD. :) it's a real blessing being able to be apart of this family gatherings for these 3 years cause being able to see the family coping with the passing of Madam Lim and seeing how the family is so united and cousins knowing each other so well and cousins spending time with each other is really something thats rare nowadays. :) well,my family too is pretty close among my mom's siblings and my cousins..which is a good thing. :) monthly food fests are some of the events i look forward to..and also during the festive holiday outings are really fun. :) anyway,back to the anniversary service thing...i think it's a privilege to have been able to see this family grow since the passing of their mom,grandma,great-grandma, etc.etc. Also, the food has been getting better each year..hahaha. :P this time round we had like bak kut teh, noodles, rice, curry chicken, curry mutton, vegetarian, yong tau foo, assam laksa, fish, desserts like jellies & fruits..oh my goodness,talking about it now is making me want to have another go at the food..hahaha.. :P i myself did like 3 rounds at the food fest and honestly it's really not doing any good to my diet!! hahaha. :P i've noticed that since i went to pulau lang tengah and back and been missing from my kickboxing classes for like 2 weeks has been making me gain back all the fats & weight i've lost for the past 7 months. NOT GOOD!!! oh yes,today during youth fellowship we had our much-awaited Talent Factor event. i had to play the guitar and sing which was something new that i've never tried of doing in front of a crowd..but all in all, the whole thing went pretty well except for the part where i was suppose to play and when i started i realise that my guitar was out-of-tune and so i stopped and tried to tune it but i couldn't cause i was so nerveous about the whole thing..so it was pretty embarrassing for me and Evelyn had to step in to try to tune it for me but she couldn't do tune it also..so thankfully Eng Kok (YF Chairman) came with another guitar..hahaha.. :P during the whole ordeal i was trying to talk to the crowd so that the whole situation wouldn't feel so weird..which was good cause that kinda helped to calm me down..hahaha.. :P i think i'm really glad that we've had such a short time to practice coz then we really understand and realise that it's because of God that we can perform so well and not fumble the whole performance.. :) anyway, i guess everybody had a good time so it was good. :) actually, i wanted to share more during my out-of-tune fumble but i couldnt arrange my thoughts so i just wasted a perfectly good opportunity to share...oh well,maybe there'll be a next time..hahaha.. :P

All that jazz.




What's Your Mood Today?
Originally uploaded by hanlian.
i should be sleeping now but oh well,like i said before..i'm addicted already..haha. ;) and it's all who's fault?!?!!? :P *hint* *hint* honestly, i've been enjoying this blogging cult thing since i've started on it. it's really different now that i know i have a place of my own to actually write down everything that's been running through my mind and are running through my mind at the point of time i'm composing a post. never knew that i'll enjoy blogging so much..hahaha.. i never did catch onto the idea of having a diary of my own but now..haha..maybe coz it's an online thing so i'm more interested with it. ;)

anyways,finally today i got to go for the 'Sunrise Carlsberg Jazz Festival' at Plaza Sunrise, Mont Kiara with Dax, Evelyn & Li Ann. we reached the place around 11+ and we manage to catch the last band (Spell Readers) performing for tonight..or should i say last night. ;) Dax & Evelyn left around midnight but Li Ann & I stayed til they finished the set and that was like 12.40something...the band was pretty good, has a pretty long legged chic for the lead singer. always a good thing if your band sucks..hahaha.. ;)

i'm hoping that i can make it for next week's gig which features Groove Unction with Jose Thomas. ever since i've heard about the Carls Jazz Fest from Evelyn, i've tried my very best to be at the gig every year..and everytime i'm there i've never been disappointed cause all the bands performing are really top-notch! watching Jose Thomas shred his guitar with his awesome licks and watch his son, John Thomas roll out some wicked beats on the drums are something that'll be ringing in ur head for weeks on. :)

oh well,its time for me to say hello to my bed..so party people out there..please don't drink and drink, think of your loved ones. :) Good nite.

Weekend's here! Whooppiee! ;)

Friday, August 20, 2004

ahhh,at last the weekend's here! whooppiiee! hehehe. ;) had my first life drawing 2 class today. man,was i left behind and i only missed the first class. bad move i'd say..oh well,had to do alot of gesture drawings today..had to draw silhouettes of this model posing in front of us in top speed. couldn't do much coz i've never been much of an artist. wasn't into art in school neither was it the first choice when i was deciding where to go for college and now...how ironic it is that now after 3 years studying computer studies in Informatics, i'm in one of the nation's best art school learning how to draw..well,eventually learn animation which is the main purpose of me being here in LUCT. we had to draw like 5 - 6 gestures in like 10minutes for each drawing..so try to imagine a guy that's not good in drawing, trying to draw as fast as he could and make sure that it's college standard and not standards of a retarded boy. well,i think my drawings will put even the retarded boy's work to shame..sigh,what a way to start my first class for life drawing. and to think that i got a 'B+' for my life drawing class last semester. maybe i'm better at drawing non-living objects than drawing still life and other living things...sigh..what a drag! i better get good at this still life and gesture drawings soon else i'll be in some deep sh*t that i cant get out of...ARGH!! hehehe. :P

Photography = Fun

today is the first time i've ever felt so excited about going to college. actually, i think today is the first time ever in my life that i'm excited about studying..hahaha. :P oh well, thats coz today i had photography class. went in kinda late coz was trying to settle my semester 2 fees at the busary which took forever but at least i had the help of a very helpful staff there which, is a rare thing in LUCT. ;) This semester alone already cost RM5,600 and that's not including the art materials that we'll be using throughout this semester which,i predict will cost alot too..sigh...art is definitely not cheap! or being creative for that matter is not cheap! or learning to be creative is NOT cheap! well,not in LUCT anyway..hahaha.. well,i got to fiddle around with Dax's pentax semi-auto SLR camera today. he has so many filters and lens, which cost alot alot that i'm really really careful with it. :) but its definitely a good experience for me. :) bought a ilford Pan 400 black&white film from the photography room today that cost RM13. that reminds me..i owe Rob the money. well,took some shots in college today but it might not come out so well coz lighting wasnt that good today...well,actually there wasnt much sun these few days anyway..just cloudly or hazy.. ;) hopefully the weather during this weekend will be different so i can finish up the roll of film i have coz in the next class we'll be learning how to develop the roll of film!! :) whoooppie!! Mr. Lee our lecturer was really helpful and from what i see during the lecture today..he's definitely a very funny person even though he speaks quite softly but he knows his stuff man! :) good for us..hahaha...we're gonna suck everything he knows from him...muahahaha.. :P after the 9am-12pm of class we had lunch at the design centre again..then we had to go for our communication studies class which to my suprise, we had Ms. Bakia again...she was the same lecturer for our communication studies class last semester...well,she was as suprised as us when she saw the list of students she's gonna have for this semester..hahaha.. :P oh well,she's a nice person..as long as u do what u're told..hahaha.. :P kinda had a little misunderstanding with her last semester during my final presentation. think she wasnt in a good mood that very day and me being me was trying to be funny and a smart-a$$ once again not knowing when to shut my big mouth and keep my foot out of it made what i thought was a funny joke and she didnt think so...hahaha..so kinda caught me off-guard so kinda messed up my presentation for awhile. well,it started coz i was asking for a short break in between presenters coz we had about 7 presenter on that day so i suggested that we take a short break after the 3rd presenter. well, at first she was keen on the break idea and was suggesting we take a 1/2hour break but here i am with my big mouth and trying to fit my foot into it went and try to crack a smart-a$$ joke about how about a 1 hour break, or maybe why dont we do this next year? hahaha. :P then she gave me the 'look' and i didnt catch on yet which was really stupid of me. well anyway, then when the 3rd presenter finished her presentation, i was trying to ask for the break so i can set-up the projector for my presentation and maybe take a breather so i can prepare myself and put on my tie but then she went on to say "No break because somebody was trying to be sarcastic, so we won't be having any breaks, continue!" that definitely spooked me for awhile coz i didnt see it coming. well, i just went on setting up the projector and that took like 3minutes so that didnt leave me enough time to wear my tie and when i wanted to ask for a toilet break, she just went on to say "The next presenters please prepare before the hand so that you wont have to waste 5 minutes of ur presentation time like this person here has done" and i'm like...SHIT!! :P oh well,i didnt really start on strong but after awhile i just got more bold so my presentation went on pretty good..so i was kinda relieved that i manage to pull through..hahaha.. :P well,all that is behind now..coz today she said she didnt even remember that incident and she told me to forget about it. she joked that we'll start the count at 0 - 0 again..and i'm like...no thanks!! ;) :P u win..hahahaha.. :P oh well,thats college... :) pretty interesting which is good coz if not i wont have any stories to tell my children/grandchildren next time..hahaha.. :P well,thats that for now...going to watch some That '70s Show that i've just downloaded then i'll have to prepare some sketchbooks for tomolo's life drawing class...hopefully i'll do better or as good as i did for life drawing last semester. :) didnt realise that i can actually draw..hahaha.. :P this semester's life drawing is gonna be more challenging coz we'll be doing potrait drawings..which is drawing people..so i hope i really can do good in it. :) oh well...its gonna be fun all that way i hope..hahaha.. ;) Blog on! ;) :P

Addicted?



me + blogging = blog-addict i just realise that i have so many thoughts running through my mind now that i dont even know where to begin. but if u've been around for the past 3/4 blogs, u'll realise that i write whatever that comes to my mind at the point of writing so most of my thoughts are unorganized and all over the place. :) but at least i'm making some sense. :P so thats not too bad. :) ever since i've started on this blogging business, i've been trying to look for a really nice template but i haven't found anything that has caught my eye. oh well, will just have to continue searching til i find one or i'll just have to create one from scratch myself. :) i should be getting to bed already since it so late/early now. :) but i'm just trying to readjust my body-clock now since i'm expecting myself and the rest of my gang to be burning alot of midnight oils this semester again. i wonder if this is a normal event for all creative people. maybe creative people do work better at odd hours of the day..haha. :P well,i guess i should try to different and go the other way about this. :) currently listening to Shawn Colvin - Someone Like You. i'm really suprised coz these few days i've been listening to alot of mellow stuffs..not like the usual stuffs that i would normally listen to such as '70s, '80s disco stuffs..but oh well,this is nice too..something smooth for the night just to slowly drift u into slumberland. :) well,i should be going to bed now. :) Good night good people of the world. oh well, good morning to the other side of the world thats waking up to a beautiful wednesday morning. :) man,the weeks are flying past like a tornado. and to think i just started this course in february and now it's already august. before i know it, it'll be the end of the year and welcome 2005. i don't even know if i should be happy or sad now..coz i'm getting older by the second...oh well,thats all for another boring day in the life of dDoinkster. :) Much love people. -Spread love & peace, not hatred & war-

Another Day has passed.

And i'll be ending the day with a kickboxing class which i have no been attending since my lang tengah trip. :-/ really miss kickboxing but then again..i miss snorkelling too...how i wish i could just be on the island and snorkel and dive but i've come to realise as well that too much of a good thing will make it turn bad. oh well.. :) oh yes,before i forget. :) let me introduce my gang, friends that i've met and gotten close to ever since i've arrived to LUCCT in february.

To think i'm already complaining about how little time i have to complete my work and lepak around and go for kickboxing classes, man..i really need to reorganize my schedule!! :) Much RESPECT,mama. :) Raimy = think he's 22 years old, son of a ex-ambassedor to european countries; spent some time around; pretty smart. :), one of those people that u wont often meet around. :) Intan aka Oja = youngest in our gang. ;) just 18 years old..hahaha. :P, pretty pretty girl, into '70s, '80s music..which i love as well, really cool girl to hang out with. :) Putri = 22 years old, hailing from jakarta, indonesia. :) claims she's very innocent..hahaha..NOT!! ;) but pretty funny girl to hang around with. always talking about wanting to go home..hahaha.. ;) Rob = age unknown, all the way from Iran or was it Iraq, well anyway,really good person..always telling jokes and making people laugh...another one of those that u'll want beside u coz he'll be there. :) Brandon = older... ;), comes from Penang. :) he's the levi's model in our class..wicked drawings, has very unique concepts. :) loves to party and definitely someone that will catch ur eye. :) well,thats about it...there are other people around but these are the few that i hang out with most. :) most interesting group of people.

In College...Damn BORED!!!



having my lunch break now with my gang in the new LUCCT plaza..listening to a chinese ah-beng trying to sing a malay song thats originally sung by a malay lady,go figure!! i think i'm definitely dragged into this blogging cult already. when i was driving to college today,i was already thinking about what i want to blog later..shoots,man...i better not get too caught up in this blog-cult! ;) anyways, just had my first malaysian studies class..only one word B O R I N G!!! most of the class was doing their own thing,playing on their laptop, fooling around with other people's handphone and some of them was obviously sleeping their way through class.. i mean i dont mind history but relearning things that i've already given back to my secondary school teacher is just not something i have in mind for a college level history class. well,now i'm sitting at the 'plaza' with the gang...most of them are eating dried seaweed. Raimy said it's good food coz all the mermaids eat them.. ;) well,not a fan of dried seaweed..so i'll pass,man. Thank God, the chinese ah-beng has stopped killing all the good songs so it's back to listening to tons of creative people having lunch. Pretty chics walking around trying to look their best and trying to dress as little as possible and showing as much skin as possible. :) well,i won't mind thats for sure...the more the merrier..hahaha. :P please do not label me as a MCP (Male-Chauvanist Pig) or a pervert but if a normal male does not enjoy ooggle at hot females parading around with less cloth, more skin then i think that male is not a normal male! :P ok ok,my friends are rushing me to leave..gotta go. will blog later. :)

Gonna sleep, Gotta sleep, Gonna sleep, Gotta sleep...

sigh, 2 blogs in one night and not more than 1 hour apart from each other. sigh, am i really that into blogging already? weird!! anyways, am suppose to be going to bed already since tomorrow i have to get to college early and i have to pick up some people but i'm feeling really really lazy right now. some smart-a$$ is giving me the 'i told you so' treatment now. apparently, i'm the kind where i can't go for any holidays just when college is starting coz then i'll be really lazy and trying to think of ways to skip classes.. ;) :P i guess she is right..hahaha. :P sigh,i really want to just leave everything here and move to the island on the east coast, actually any island for that matter. at least when i'm there,i don't have so many worries, headaches and heartbreaks. life can be less stressful. i think the only stress that i might have would be what i want for my meals and when to go for my toilet breaks. is life suppose to be so stressful or am i just making things too hard? i mean, i know i said it myself "don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive". i think i'm stuck now and i'm trying to get out alive but i don't think i can make it. HELP!!! crap,am i really so into this blogging thing...i'm writing more and more by the second and i can't seem to stop. alright, i know my thoughts are running wild here but hey,at least i'm venting it all out verbally,right? :) thanks a lot, miss g3ewhiz..now look what u have done?!!?!?!? :P i'm suppose to be the non-blogger here, u know!! ;) well,anyway..i am feeling really lazy now. i've even started skipping my kickboxing classes which i love very much ever since i started it in march. been going to class almost 4 times a week for the past 6 months. met alot of new people from that place, people that i never imagined i'll meet in my lifetime. i'm definitely very happy to have met them. :) surprisingly through such a short time,i've learnt alot and moved up really quickly. i didn't even realise that i was capable of such feats..hahaha. :P even though i've never really had a chance to actually put it to the test, i don't think i really want to try it out anyway..one thing that i've learnt from kickboxing is that whenever there is a fight..there are no winners. but honestly speaking, i really do want to seriously kick someone's a$$ but i don't think that is ever gonna happen. so going for classes and punching the punching bags and kicking the kickbags are the only venting outlets i have to stop me from actually kicking that person's a$$ everytime i see him.

My first blog. :)



hey people. :) this is my very first blog,still trying to figure stuffs out about this blogging stuff so bear with me people. :) just finished dinner that i wasn't suppose to have, coz i'm suppose to stick to a 'no dinner & supper on weekdays' diet but kinda blew it after coming back from lang tengah island. It was a really good trip coz i got to snorkel more this time but didn't get much of a tan coz it was pretty cloudy throughout the trip but all in all it was a good one. :) went to class for the 1st since the semester started again last week. ;) skipped classes just to go for the lang tengah trip, hahaha..i know i'm a really bad boy but what can i say, i can never give up a trip to any island on the east coast of malaysia. :) just realised after going for class today that i'm kinda behind on the assignements, which i should be concentrating on right now instead of blogging. ;) oh well,it's my first blog so it's a special case. :) tons of material to buy and it's gonna cost a chunk of $$$..sigh,i wonder if i'm doing the right of changing from studying computer science to multimedia/animation. i'm paying more for all the materials needed to complete my assignments but i am enjoying myself more now in LUCCT than when i was in informatics. Guess doing something you love does cost you more in many ways.
