CNY Shopping....

Chinese New Year shopping was pretty fast this year. I bought everything from Sunway Pyramid which is quite surprising since I considered Sunway as a horrible place to shop last year. Maybe because it the shopping mall had very few shops. This year, Sunway went through a major renovation and to me, it is HUGE! I think I shopped for 8 hours and couldn’t cover the whole mall. And I didn’t even go to every shop in the mall. Well, before I went to Sunway, I shopped with Qinny the day before at 1U and I came back with 0 purchase. Hahahah…. I seriously wanted to give up after 3 hours. But I decided to go Sunway. She couldn’t join though because of class, but luckily Jia Lin came along! I couldn’t choose colours and my sense of fashion is ….well. No sense. She helped me A LOT!! I would have been clueless if it weren’t for Jia Lin. Oh, Shinny came along too and he gave me some interesting facial expressions when I showed them the different tops I tried. Hahahah………… Super funny! I have to say I actually enjoyed shopping. Its been a year when I actually shop for clothes. I prefer shopping during the weekdays. Its less crazy and everyone was just love to shop, so when they are not working, which is during the weekends, the malls are seriously over packed. Ah well… Then after shopping, we went to eat at Mama and Papa Grilled Chops in Subang. It s not bad actually. Should go there, just a lil expensive. ^^ So, that’s it for CNY shopping. Just haven’t gotten my shoes yet…. Mum was a lil angry…..I just kept looking a shoes, but refusing to buy them..

Johor and Singapore Trip!

oooooooo...this is a super late late late entry. I went to Johor like 4 days after getting my results. I took the bus down on Tuesday. hahaha.......Jan 14? I can't really remember the date since time seems to be flying by for me. But actually, it was possiblely just last week that I went to Johor. I never knew that the coach *YES, coach! I don't call it a bus because a bus is like the public bus and stuff. Thats what I think*, had such cool seats. They were kind of like aeroplane seats, but of course not as luxurious, but still quite comfortable. I actually rushed to Pudu Station because I thought that I would miss the 10.30 am bus. In the end, I got on the 10 am bus. hahaha...It was like a total blur to me until I was in the bus. After that, I just read my Conan books. wahahha....SO happy!! And then listened to music. Not many people were in the bus considering the fact that it was a Tues. I think we only had one stop and reached Johor at 2pm.

I also realised that the coach was not as clean as I thought. Two cockroaches were running on the window...ARGH! I moved to other seats after that. Then, when I reached the nice station, Jeremy, Kee Fong and Lydia came to pick me up. ^^. I ate a burger cause I was starving. Then we went back to Lydia's house. It was cool! Actually, it took so long to get there, I thought we were lost. hahaha... had Lunch and played Mahjong there.... for a while. Then we went to Jaya Jusco, BECAUSe Keego said he wanted to get a mahjong set, in the end, we played arcade. hahaha...It was fun. Seriously. I enjoyed shooting hoops and playing the drums with them. After that, we went to some mall to pick Mus up. *SURPRISE!!! SURPRISE!!*. He actually came to Johor with Kher Dee. hahaha....Quite shocking. After that, Jem fetched us back to Lydia's house. We went to eat Thai food. It was yummy!! I liked the food. ESPECIALLY the sotong dish.

I just totally love sotong! Then we went to play bowling. Keego won...I mean...aaaaiiiiii.......I lost to him in one game. SoB.....

We then went to Jem's house to watch a movie. Then we planned the next day to go to Singapore. uhuh................ So we woke up the next day at 8.30am? hahaha...And then took the causeway bus to Singapore, got off at the immigration centre, then got on the bus again and took the MRT to Bugis street. We were just walking aimlessly around, looking for the Hotel that Ivy kindly booked for us. It was called New 7th Storey Hotel.....It was not 7 stories.......and the best thing about it was the lift. it was super old fashion. The rooms were ok for backpackers. Can live I guess. Then after that, we just walked aimlessly around, had lunch and met up with Ivy and my cousin Sherri. We then walked around Orchard road, ate some stuff and then met up with Daphne. We ate at Pasta mania and after that I had to leave and meet up with my aunt. I haven't seen my younger cousin for so long. hahaha...It has been a long long time. We went to eat Indo food at Riverside. It was pretty nice since we ate the grilled set. Yum yum! Then we went and walk around. After that I went back and all of us played charades.

The following day, Lydia and i ended up having a haircut...How was it??...eeerrr......As me in person or ask her in person. After that, we went to the zoo.. Oh, Chia Huan joined us for the trip in the zoo... Lucky!! Too bad Ivy couldn't make it. .WAH!! I really really LOVED the zoo. Not kidding!! We went to see the elephant show and also the aquamarine animals. The show was pretty cool honestly. I enjoyed it. All the animals looked clean and the habitat is just so natural. After that we went for dinner around my aunt's place. The food was pretty cool. We ate fish noodles, chicken wing and crab. aaaaiiiiiii...........so much food. Then we went to Sentosa Island. We thought we wouldn't be doing anything since it was quite late. But there was a show called Sounds of the Sea. When we bought the tickets, it started raining. We thought the show would be called off, but it wasn't. WE sat in the rain watching the show *I had an umbrella with me luckily, and my aunt brought an umbrella for the others as well*. It WAS really COOL!! and FASCINATING.......I enjoyed the show a lot. After the show, our half of our pants were dry while the other half was wet. **. After that, we went back to Johor. It was a really fun two day. I have to admit. I really enjoyed myself. I left at 10 am on Fri, after following Jem to send Keego off at the airport. He took a flight back to Penang. I went back by bus.
Thanks so much to Jem and Lydia for having me around and taking me around!!!

It was a really FUN trip!! lalalala....I shall continue my next entry...tomolo..Hopefully. If my fingers don't cramp up.

I passed!!...Long days...

Yup!! I passed EOS!! Honestly, I think my break down is horrifying!!! I mean I'm really happy that I passed, but everytime I look at my grade, I just feel utterly depressed. And also the fact that I probably did not study hard enough or properly for this exam. So I can so that I'm quite happy that I passed even though the grades are really not gratifying.

So, being home is like being in a war zone. Seriously, I think my mother's nagging power has increased 10 folds since the last time I stayed at home. She just can't stop nagging me about my exercising, my food intake, the time I wake up, the time I sleep, the condition of my table, the condition of my clothes, the condition of my shoes, the time I spend outside, and so on....URGH!!! I think I have to argue with my mother hourly...AND SHE JUST CAME IN AGAIN to nag me about my table......URGH!!!! Its my table!!!!!!!!!
#$%^&&*(**&^%$#@#$%^&^*&((%^$

I think my temper have like flared A LOT since I came home. Man, I feel a lot calmer when my mum is at work. Don't get me wrong. My mum is a lovely mother. She is just a controlling lady who can't sleep without controlling at least 3/4 of my life! I think she'll even find a boyfriend for me if I'm still single by 30!!!! WAT THE!!! Nevermind....chilling.

So everyone seems to be going back to their hometowns already and it makes a feel sad....Cause I won't be seeing them much anymore. And Daphne is flying off already next week. Ai.....I hope I get to see her before she flies off. I'm going to go Johor on Tuesday. hhhhmmmm.....my mum was nagging me about getting a bus ticket before Tues...i should humour her. -_-". Anyway, Lydia went back to Johor already...SOB SOB!!! I think I'm going to miss her a lot a lot...aaaiii.....Home is really relaxing but right now, I feel like I need a bullet proof vest or I doubt I'll survive. Its different when I stayed in vista I guess. I miss it a lot..aaaiii.......Anyway, I'll blog more when I'm calmer. just wanted to tell you guys, I PASSED!!!!!
*And yeah, I cried when I got my results.....I was scared!!*
Qinny, you're going to get your sundae ice cream! And thanks for being there for me when I needed motivation!! =P

End of 2 and half years...

Wow....It just seems like yesterday I went for the IMU interview and ended up in tears because I argued with the lecturer and thought I failed the interview. And the time when we were all waiting to take our photos, lab coats and for briefing on orientation. Then the orientation week.....I never thought that I could possibely be so 'sporting', having to take a lot of gross stuff on my skin and having to deal with humiliating myself in front of seniors along with my group mates. But I was glad go through such 'torture' because I got to chance to make lots of friends and even got the chance to do the craziest things ever which I would NEVER EVER do if it wasn't because of IMU. To be honest, I really miss orientation and the people in it.

After orientation was imu cup....for 3 years. hahaha....I have to say, I really enjoyed IMU cup. I thought I would have to say good bye to the days of playing 'volleyball' and 'netball'. Little did I know, that I'll be joining the batch team to win points for our batch. -_-". Yeah...well. I expected med school to be totally 'studious', I guess I was proved wrong. Med students are just mad. We study, play, play, study and study somemore. There were so many activities being held that I have to say that we are DEFINITELY not nerds. I really miss the practices we had and the 'practices' we were SUPPOSE to have and I'm already missing everyone that I used to play volleyball and netball with. *SOB*. I even miss playing futsal. I just learnt how to play it when i first got into IMU and it is a FUN sport. Especially when you get to kick a ball around, imagining that its someone that you dislike. hhhmmmm........^^

I even miss PBL now. Its only been a few days and I think PBL is just fun. Discussions are interesting and its actually quite liberating when you actually find information on a particular topic and you're able to present it well. *Rarely happens to me though*. The PBL mates make PBL the most bearable. I got to meet many people and it makes me feel quite happy. ^^ Wah.....I miss everything in IMU except for the building. It felt so weird moving out yesterday and I really wanted to cry. In the end, I felt like no matter what happens, I can still keep in touch with everyone. Even if we part, one day, we'll meet each other again. Whether we're just a country a way or at opposite poles, we'll meet again some day. (I really hope so!!)

And then there are my friends that I hang out with that I'll miss alot alot alot.

There is Lydia, who was my housemate for a year. Thank goodness she was around. She made everything happier and funnier. Without her, I think I'll probably die from depression. I think she really made my life a lot calmer and not as stressful as when I first started uni. Thanks Lydia for being there for me and always taking care of me and driving me nuts with ur scolding. hahaha.... I think if both of us were to argue, everyone will just get bombed. Also the times she trick me or lure me into watching movies! *And the times when I make her follow me to watch movies as well* I'll miss Lydia alot!!!
Then there is Daphne who is rarely around. Yet, I miss chatting with her sometimes. I wish she was around more, but I guess she doesn't really like going out much. i'm going to miss her presence when she goes off. And I dunno even know if we'll stay in touch...I really hope we will though.
Shin Yin!! I'm going to miss Shinny! He is like my older brother..Although I nag him a lot, but it seems empty when Shinny is not around. There will be no more 'I don't know' followed by an answer. I won't have to nag him bout coming down earlier or taking care of his limbs or sleeping less. Shinny is just like a magnet for people to come and talk to him and I find it fun to watch them talk. The conversations are just hilarious sometimes. I'm going to miss hanging out with Shinny. NNNOOOO......I basically won't be seeing Shin Yin much anymore. Wah!!!! @_@.

Then just this year I got to know Mus. I think I'm going to miss his lamenest especially when he and Lydia gets into fights (arguments). Although most of the time Mus starts it and Lydia ends it. Its just funny although at times its just plan lame! I'm going to miss hearing 'Its game time' everytime I ask for the time and it was fun watching movies with him. I'm going to miss those times. I think both him and Lydia has expanded my knowledge about movies. -_-". Then there is Keego, who is super fun to bully! I'm going to miss him and it was just fun having dinner and lunch and tricking him. Keego is a really nice guy especially when he says 'Tell me or die' and both of us will reply die. hahahaha......Its the craziest when he scolds me since only Keego is capable of scolding so badly. EVIL person!! But I'll miss you!! I'm going to miss all our mamak sessions. *Which I'm NOT suppose to go for*.. You evil people that bully me into going *j/k*

I'm also going to miss Pui Fun and Sue Wen!!! WAH!! Our apartment!!! The times when we played bridge was the funniest and the times the four of us decided to chat till early in the morning and all the nut case stuff we did in the apartment. I'm going to miss all that. I already fell quite mundane at home. It feels quite lonely and I really cried when I left the apartment. hahaha...I felt like I was leaving IMU and vista always. Man, I'll never be able to find better housemates than Funny and Wenny. They were both there for me when I needed someone to advice me and tell me the brutal truth. I cried a lot in Sem 3 and loan me their shoulder to cry on...They really took care of me. Thank goodness for them. And it would not have been a great place to stay if my housemates weren't them and Lydia.

THANKS SO MUCH for being there for me and believing in me!! *Especially when I don't believe in myself*

A lil act of kindness...

Got my CNS results.
What can I say?
I probably lost my brain somewhere
Or lost my motivaiton somewhere along my life

Wanted to walk home in the rain
Fits my mood today
Better to drench my body with rain
Then to cry out from fear

But a kind person was there
To shelter me
And I'm thankful to that person
Because it was nice to have company for a while
Then go back to having to deal with my stupidity.

Something I learnt...

This is something that really teaches me how important love is and how most of us are selfish when it comes to love. Jealousy is not considered as loving a person a lot. More like smothering that person with your feelings when they're innocent. Anyway, this is from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8:

Love is patient,
Love is kind.
It does NOT envy, it does NOT boast, It is NOT proud.
Its is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth
It always Protects, always Trusts, always Hopes, always perseveres...
Love never fails..

I feel that only love interpreted that way is considered as love. Those who always remember their partner;s faults and inabilities, should start questioning themselves. Sad to say, some get together with others because they want to be considered an 'item', not because they love that person, which is lying to themselves.
Now adays, people are even selling love. You can see advertisement promoting products stating that you can be loved if you purchase the product. Like HELLO?

Let things came naturally. But I guess I understand that everyone wants to be loved, and we are. If we just look around, we'll find that we are surrounded by love. Just that different people show their love differently from others.

At times, I wonder if love is around. Learning about family violence and watching the way everyone treat each other now....Its almost inhuman the way we act. Can we even be considered sane? Its also hard to love unconditionally when you live in fear of being hurt by the one you love. To love is to be honest to the one you love. But I seriously doubt everyone is truly honest to their partner in the era. Love is so over rated.

Pigs liver...Yucks!

I seriously do not know how anyone can eat such a thing. I ALWAYS avoid eating that disgusting part. My dad cooked it yesterday and told me I'll like it because he cooked it a special way. RIGHT....... How can I possiblely like something that I dislike since young? So I took a tiny piece and my dad got offended. But I didn't want to waste it cos NO MATTER how he cooks it, I won't like it.

Place that detestable thing into my mouth.....URGH! The same feeling of wanting to vomit came over me. It has the mushy, powdery taste and its so bland and THE fact that its a liver makes me feel like vomitting. I obviously didn't eat anymore after that. Yucks!!

Started studying a lil harder and at last, I feel like I'm feeling stressed. EOS....darn it! aaaaiiii.........

Tea ceremony..

Didn't expect my mother to agree with my aunt to go to the brides and bridegroom's house for the tea giving ceremony....Most unexpected. She woke me up at 10am telling me she decided to go. SO, we got ready and drove to my aunt's house and waited there till like 12pm for my uncle to show us the way to the apartment. Ended up getting bored of waiting...aaaiii.....but we reached pretty fast and we had to wait for the bride and bridesgroom to walk into the house. While waiting for them....

I went to check out their bedroom....hhhmmm.....I think officially that both of them like purple AND green....On their bed was the 'Hello Kitty' wedding dolls? *I have the collection ^^*. But it was the malay wedding dolls....eeeerrrr.........I was a lil surprised considering the fact that there IS a chinese wedding doll as well. I think it was because they were wearing green and gold. wahahaha.....Anyway, It was really cute and adorable.

Then went out and waited for them again...I learnt that ....this cousin is Not such a distant cousin after all....-_-". He has the same surname and supposedly he is my granduncle's son.. I'm not sure actually, I got confused with my uncle's explaination and I also found out that the next generation of my family has to have Min as their middle name?? hhhmmmm............ That means all my future nephews will have the name Min in the middle....Wow.....I think I'm in shock for a while...I guess I'm a total banana after all..

At last the couple came in then they had to give tea to their parents and uncle and aunts by rank...And the brother or sister who is married. The bride was more or less drape in gold by the end of the ceremony..Quite interesting. I still remember my cousin-in-law's wedding, she was given like a necklace from every one of my aunts/aunts-in-law (Not to mention bracelets)...So, she had..6 necklaces from my side of the family, and she also received more from her side of the family...It looked pretty heavy.. ^^. Anyway! My mum also gave angpow to the couple. After that, the children received angpow from them *Me! Me!* I was a lil skeptical since I didn't know them very well.

After that, we went for the buffet and ate. My cousin asked me to be her bridesmaid for her wedding in May (I'm not sure if she is being serious). It'll be fun if she was serious!! hahaha.......... We then went to Pyramid.

Wah.............Wah............. There was a lot of changes. I was in shock...Wow.....Its so big now. And I think I can't wait to walk for a longer time there when exams are over. Anyway, we watched Balls of Fury. Before that I went to get earphones and it took 3 guys to open the glass door to get the earphones for me. -_-". My mum was in shock when she came back. There was something wrong with the door. I'm cursed I know!! I got the earphones at last and its pretty good I guess. After that, went for dinner/mamak with my dad. It was quite a tiring day I think. And y am I blogging so much? Might wanna try blogging daily...*Which WILL not last. =P* Overall, productive day in lazing...And got to talk to Qinny...hahaha...Its been some time. She's pretty busy with exams too....And At last I'm feeling the pressure to study.

Till Death do us apart...

Yay!! Today got the chance to go for a Wedding Dinner. The best part is, my mum didn't really know the groom well. Some distant relatives of ours, but it was still a really nice wedding dinner. So we were late because my mum was busy working and she reached home late. (She told me 7!! We left at like 8....Make me rush home for nothing -_-"). We drove towards KL and got stuck in a jam on the way. I HATE KL during rush hour. Seriously, city life is overrated. It sux big time. I DO NOT want to work in the city when I graduate. Man, its horrible!!! Anyway, I ended up driving, so we reached pretty fast. I actually drove pass the restaurant because it was so secluded. I had to reverse 100 m back to the restaurant. Asked the jockey to take the car and we reached in time to miss the first course.

hahaha......It was weird going for a wedding dinner. Its been a LONG time since I met up with my relatives. They were all there attending the wedding. Even my second aunt from Ipoh. It felt weird like we were in some other world. For me anyway. Had to smile and talk to the people sitting in the same table. At the start, I had this weird feeling that they didn't know I was my mum's daughter....-_-". It was confirmed when all they ask about were my brothers. (Gender inequility? Or sensitivity). But its expected since most chinese family emphasize more on male than female. *Makes me mad*. Just like the 'Kitchen God's Wife'. The book. It made me boil when I read it. Anyway, after that we kept eating and we went to meet the bridegroom and bride.

Oh, you'll LOVE this one. *Or rather I LOVED it*. The bride was wearing a GREEN GREEN GREEN colour gown. wahahaha....And it looked good *I'm so wearing one when if I get married*. My husband will have to live with it. HAH!! Then I watched them pour champagne into a stack of wine glass and cut the super tall cake *Don't recall eating it though*. It was really sweet. Touching...almost. Then we did the 'YUM SING'. As I say, all good things comes in threes. We did it three times and then sat down to eat somemore. Then I went to talk to my third aunt because I feel I'm closer to her compared to the others. *She always gave me kuih to eat since i was a kid and called me to check on me*. Anyway, she told me about my cousin and how he was in Australia. Its been a long time.

Then I talked to my eldest uncle, he was asking me if I wanted health encyclopedias which is pretty useful since we're doing health issues...Might go there one day to get it...if I have the time...But Cheras is pretty near. Anyway, I think I caught up with news about my relatives. My cousin-in-law is 3 months pregnant......WAH!!!! OMG!!! I was just wondering when she was going to get pregnant...*I thought they were on family planning* -_-". Then my other cousin is going to have HER wedding dinner in May...Man, I always feel left out from my cousins. *The age gap....when I study, they're working, when I start work, most of them will have kids by then...-_-"*. But I'm SO happy for my cousin-in-law. She'll make a good mother...and I think her baby is going to be SUPER cute!! Wat? I think both my cousin and cousin-in-law is very good looking.

Anyway, it was a good thing I went for th dinner.... I was planning not to go because I had to rush home, but I'm glad I did.. Ever since my grandma passed away, we haven't been close much. Usually we visit her weekly at my uncle's house but now we don't at all....aaaaiiiii....Makes us drift farther apart I guess. Plus I'm a TOTAL banana and my cousins aren't. GAH! The only cousins I can relate to are my third uncle's children, and they're in Singapore. -_-". What the...Anyway, the dinner was productive and I ate a lot. wahahaha..,but the restaurant's food isn't wow. So, my distant cousin is now married and I hope they'll live happily ever after. Working together and making things work. Longetivity and prosperity..
