My new craze~!! ... hehe .. Well, sometimes when you found boredom, you go for any entertainment available.I'm never into computer games much. The games I probably touched so far is just Half Life and MGS 1.(really shows my interest towards it). Anyway, I give a big "no no" to strategy games and racing games. Basically games that guys find even more interested in. hehe.. However, there is one strategy game that I played for a while.... 'Fate of the Dragon'. Hmm... the characters impresses me 'cos it's real cute.. haha. :P Anyway, MGS 2 is definitely an obsession. Although my bro didn't quite like it 'cos it's not too easy, I just dragged him to finish some impossible parts for me. (just love having younger bros ;) heheh..) So, sitting on my butt too much is really costing me. I'm really glad I'm on a break. If i get hooked on to it more.. I'll probably dump studies. :P So.. this means.. I'm finishing the game in 2 weeks time. hmmm... wonder if i can. :P

~ Fitness drive ~
09.02.04 (6:39 am)   [edit]

The effects of working ----> a big bottom, a growing tummy and cummulated fats. Well, I admit I wasn't in really in a good shape even when I was studying. ahhah.. Anyhow, working made it worst. :P The usual routine was: wake up, eat, sit, eat, sit,go home, eat, sleep. Seriously felt extremely unhealthy after four months. Anyway, been doing a lot of physical activities this few days. :D


Monday: played squash with my bro for 2 hours~! A sport that I hardly    touch after our foundation year. Anyway, it was pretty fun as my brother sucked in it. hehe.. Remembering the times we played squash in uni and I always ended up losing.


Tuesday: Took a one-hour walk in FRIM. It was quite tiring since I dun do much trekking. Anyway, I have to "kao tao"(bow respectfully) to my dad who climb up and down overflowing with energy. (must be becos of his golf sessions). The loser goes to my sister who had a tummy ache halfway thru and couldn't go on. hehe...


Wednesday: Rotted at home. :P


Thursday: Woke up at 6 and jogged with my mum. Well, it was hard getting out of the bed and the weather was pretty cold too. But I managed to fight off the devil in me and it's pretty worth it. The cool and fresh air definitely blew my sleepiness away <--- something working people can't 
enjoy...


So, my fitness plan is going well so far but I dun know how long I can keep the energy running. Haha.. wondering what should i do tomorrow?? .. hmmm

~ Cupid is me ~
08.31.04 (2:19 am)   [edit]

Well, it's pretty obvious I'm losing blogging fans (namely elaine and marvin). Everyone is probably taking the free time to accompany girlfriends, boyfriends (isk isk). Anyway, it IS the holidays and naturally, everyone should be out of their homes. (wondering why I'm still sitting here blogging. eheheh... no life) Anyway, yesterday I was chatting with my pal, MJ when he suddenly said "eh, gotta go do 'something' with evelyn. Gonna spend some personal time together.. bla bla bla". Hmmm... dumped~! <----strictly no hard feelings.
Anyway, it got me thinking that day. Since I started my uni life 3 years ago, everyone in the gang was single. Then, neo got kuan fong <--- after much complains about his single life for 19 years, he reached his goal. Next was marvin with han yin and steven with gloria <---- not a surprise for me becos it was pretty obvious who they were after at that time. Following that would be lobak and ee chia <--- hmmm... that was pretty surprising.. hahhahah. Afterwards, MJ and Evelyn <--- both treasurer and assistant treasurer of the aikido club.. ahhahah.. something in common. Then laurent and ... (crap~! I forgot her name. Sorry laurent). Lastly, my sister and eric<--- was about time actually. Anyhow, everyone is dropping out of the
singles club. I wonder if I'm born to give loving charm to everyone around me. <--- Generosity pays.. I have sacrificed for my frens. :P Anyhow, we should do a prediction on who would be next...err... wing hon? lay yean?

~ Yet another karaoke session ~
08.29.04 (7:24 pm)   [edit]

That's it... the last celebration for our industrial training semester (seriously, dun know why we bother. hahah) Hmm.. actually more like a reunion of friends AFTER our industrial training. ( too much money to waste. :P) As usual the normal gang of frens were there, mj and eve, lay yean, lobak, jon, me, neo and kuan fong. Haha.. we sang our hearts out. Seriously, the room was filled with such loud singing, I couldn't even hear the music. (k... the girls were good) The singing award of the day have to go to mj and neo who sang "unchained melody". Their emotions were spilling out of their mike.. until they have to stop. (my fingers were on the
cancel button da whole time. hahah) Well it was pretty fun~! THe loudest karaoke session I've been so far. I'm waiting for MJ to develop the photos.. so I can put it in my blog.


So, this marks the start of my 3 weeks hols. hmmm... overload of free times in our hands again. :P

~ Da Movie Marathon ~
08.26.04 (8:03 pm)   [edit]

Yesterday, was the second-last day of our training ... Elaine, Marvin and me decided to do something special before the heart-breaking separation (*sniff *sniff) Anyhow, we had a stayover at my place and it was smashing. heheheh... Marvin was practically dragged all the way from Cyberjaya to join us in one of our last craziest moments together. Anyway, the motive of the night is simple:
  
    & nbsp;   &n bsp;   &nb sp;   &nbs p;     ;         & nbsp;   &n bsp; " A MOVIE MARATHON "


Super-thrilled about it. The bet was who sleeps first gets colgate on his/her face.(later, the rule was called off because the organiser dozed off and it was her place anyway :P) Well, each of us started donating some titbits for the marathon and prepared for the challenge. The shows which we lined up were: 1. 13 going on 30, 2. Alien vs Predator, 3. The Joy Luck Club, 4. we got served, 5. Everybody goes to the rock (or something like
that), 6. Some andy lau movie.


Lying comfortably at my home theatre, we screened the first show ---->13 going on 30. The movie was great~! It's pretty entertaining, therefore, none of us was really tired. In fact after watching it, we were more enthusiastic to watch the second show ---> Alien vs Predator. Nuts, wrong choice of movie. It wasn't really captivating in the first part of the movie. And then, I started to doze off. hehe (luckily the room was dark, no one actually realize who sleeps.) Elaine joined me right after.. but Marvin stayed wide awake. At the scene when there was like 2 humans left after fighting with the predator, I woke up :D. Thank god, Marvin was there to fill me up about the parts I missed. Hmm... the show is really short, much to my liking. Anyhow, I have to agree with MJ: the most anticipated show turned out to be quite disappointing. (overhyped) By that time, we already got off the hook of the movie marathon and we chose to brush away all
shows and see "Honey". Since it's about dancing, I didn't sleep throughout the WHOLE movie. hehe But elaine ... urmm... snored. hahahah (okei okie.. she didn't.. but she slept~! :P) The next morning.... we went to work together with sleepy faces. Hmm... definitely worth it. :D

*Losing the momentum of Life*
08.26.04 (1:26 am)   [edit]

Well, I started this sem with a burst of enthusiasm and had a lot of dreams.One: start thinking about my future career, two: study/learn something useful,three: act matured, four: save money, five: propose a title for my final year project, six: work out my mum's system. And my achievement is One: Keep making mistakes at work, Two: Drowned myself with entertainment, Three: bought an mp3 player and updated my wardrobe, four: quite far from proposing our fyp title, five: my mum's system is stagnant, six: career?? <------ more interested in thinking about my kinabalu trip.


Somehow when we have so much time in our hands, we tend to waste it. And when we are really out of time, we wonder why is there 24 hours only. Seriously, half of our time are wasted on total meaningless stuff while the other half is wasted on complaining there is not enuff time. Yesterday, I spent half of the evening playing dynomite. hahaha.. something I haven't laid my hands on for a long time. I wonder if I would be spending the rest of my life dreamingmore than achieving. hmmmm ....

Sad news today. * My Satria is to be sold * sniff sniff


My car joined our family 3 months ago since I started training. Well, it's a second-hand car and (well) there were some indication that told me not to buy it... Anyhow, from the look of it we didn't see any problem with it.
Furthermore, it was introduced by my nanny's son. Anyway, he told us he changed the black oil.. bla bla bla. BUT recently, i found a red indication flashing while I was driving. (didn't know it meant 'no black oil' then) Soo..
i continued driving ...


Then... ONE DAY ---> I asked my mum "Ma, why do I have a red indicator here??" She was pretty shocked and we stopped by the petrol station. They filled it with 2 BOTTLES~!!! of black oil. My Satria was definitely hungry for black oil. Anyway, after all the headlines of rape and stuff like that in the newspaper... my mum said it's incredibly dangerous to drive my car. *sob *sob. She took it to the mechanic.... haihz... even sadder news. My top engine is burned or they call it 'overhaul'.. not too sure about that. And my timing belt is gone... and a lot of stuff had to be changed. My father took the calculator ---> RM3000++~!! all together. SOoo.. he decided to sell my car. Anyone wanna buy? ehehhe
(ohhh.. this is supposed to be sad.)
Anyway... that is the story. *sniff

Da Olympic Fever
08.21.04 (8:48 pm)   [edit]

A week have passed and the olympic fever is surely spreading around the globe.


    & nbsp;   &n bsp;   &nb sp;   &nbs p;     ;     - Athens 2004 summer olympics -


It's the talk of da crowd. If you even have television sets, you would have watched it. The moment of tensed competitions and victory cannot be missed. I've indulged in it during the weekends and catched most of the final rounds (hehe) - most fav sports are :
Gymnastics (which i clearly missed all.. damn), Swimming (::whhee-wittt::), table-tennis and badminton. Anyway, the moment of glory have to be given to Taufik - Indonesia who won gold medal of the men's singles in badminton. (We, Malaysian must really buck up... haihz) Please
view to face of victory below, "that's what I call success!!" :



Okie, coming to swimming ---> the ever-loved Michael Phelps. (good looking, amazing smile and wonderful bod ~ drooling ~) Earning at most six gold medals, breaks an olympic record for 100m - butterfly and gave me da inspiration to write about the olympics in my blog (*blush blush).



Anyhow, no one can avoid brushing a tear from their eyes while watching those sportmen/women strive to their very best and at last wins the olympic title. Just makes you envy them ....clearly, nothing is impossible if you try your best. :D

The mark of freedom - 21
08.19.04 (8:51 am)   [edit]

Yesterday was the day when the chains that bounded me ever-so tightly let loose. I have finally reached the age when I stand on my own feet and say "I live at my own will". Like the caterpillar which turned into a butterfly - I have transformed into a lady. (hehe) The "invisible" me have shown it's form. The world now recognises me as who I am. I am an adult. :D


~ I feel different ~


For all the kids out there, DON'T envy as you will experience it sooner or later. I'm just a step ahead of you ppl .. always will be. (nyek nyek) :P(Somehow, I got a feeling I will recieve a lot of hate messages after I post this.)


Summary of my life :


1 - 5 : A cutie. Like what cuties always do, they are busy being a doll for everyone to play with. God knows how many hands have squeezed my cheeks. I was pretty vulnerable to my older brother and sister at that time. Always treated as their joke. (damn~!)
    & nbsp;  
6 - 10: A schoolgirl. Well, the age when my personality is slowly developing. I remembered following every single step my sister take. (This always happens when you have an older sis.)


11 - 15: Puberty. Hmmm... I'm beginning to understand life. I have my own thoughts and my own style. At this age, friends matter the most. And problems which are pretty tiny, cost the world to me.


16 - 20: Teenager. Boy, do I love the word 'party'. Life is about fun. Everything that that comes to my mind, I do it. Never ever giving it a second thought. It is the time I acted rebellious to everything. Trying real hard to show ppl i exist.


21 - ??: Adult. It's gonna be a loooong road and i'm all packed.


WEll, it's not bad being me. :D

Shopping Spreeeeeeeeee :D
08.17.04 (12:10 am)   [edit]

Well, I FINALLY contributed to the mega sales. The feeling was GREAT..but now I'm definitely broke. Sunday was da day we spent like kings and queens. (nyek nyek) It was just da three of us (me, gloria and me mum). Once we set foot on KLCC, we started our search. Rummagging through clothes like mad women. We tried every single piece of cloth we could lay hands on. The 'EGG' changing room was hogged by us and us only. Nobody had the chance to even set foot in it. muahahahah.. it was OUR TERRITORY~!!!!! Well, we ended up paying for 9 pieces of clothing.. nyek nyek.. mostly mine :D It was really quite fruitful as it only took us approx 4 hrs to get what we wanted. It's been a long time since we last shopped like that. So watch out frenz ... you'll probably see a stylo me next sem. (ehhehhe.... )


 

 
Fare-thee-well
08.17.04 (12:09 am)   [edit]

Well, there is just 2 more weeks of work... and we are basically free. (wonder if anyone feels sad. hahah) Our colleagues (actually just 5 of us) decided to sing our hearts out. Since on a friday night, redbox's rate is superbly high, we took off to Klang and crashed
into KTV. (Didn't know we could actually bring our food in.) Anyway, we started singing :D my voice soared around the room, everyone was stunned~!!! There was endless cheers......Fine.... that didn't happen. Marvin's voice got cheers (isk isk.. can't deny the fact) On the other hand, Elaine and me got super ambitious and chose songs beyond our limit. Ended up skipping every song. ahhaha... (okie.. wasn't elaine's fault.. my fault cos i chose the songs.. so it was i who got ambitious). Damn.. my ambition
to be a singer went down the drain that night. :P Anyhow, we all acted like superstars, laughed more than sing and basically drowned ourselves with noise pollution. (nyek nyek).. Well, it was pretty memorable.

 
Too cute to be true~!!
08.13.04 (2:01 am)   [edit]

 <--------  This is my fren laurent~!!! ahhaha... it's too cute to be true. You should see him now. Seriously :P A skinny skrawny guy .... isk isk.


~ a dedication to laurent. hehe ~


Well, NO WONDER~!! it's really not laurent. hmm... got it wrong. Anyway, the baby is super cute. ahhahahah ...... (it's either neo or neo's cousin ... hmmmm....)

 
~ An embarassing moment ~
08.12.04 (8:57 pm)   [edit]

After much complaints on my ever-so miserable blog, I decided to write something funny/embarassing.


Well, i was hanging out in the library... apparently cramming for finals..when I decided to take a stroll around. I just had my lunch then and I wasfeeling pretty stuffed up. So, a walk would seriously ease da tummy. Anyway, I was passing this cubicle which was occupied by a foriegn student. He wasn't really paying attention to his books so as i passed him, he gave me a glance. And then it happened.... at that very instance, my
tummy decided to make a call for "help" and came up with an enormous groowwwl...
damn~! the library is pretty quiet.. impossible he could have missed that. I can seriously feel my face turning red .. and the one thing that came out of my mouth was ... "oops~!" ... and I walked off calmly. (Seriously felt like running..) The sad thing is.. I had to pass him again to return to my place.. man... the agony.... :P


~ all for the sake of laughter .. hahha ~

 one that keeps taking light from other people to make themselves brighter

 other."
 
~ Darren Hayes (Savage Garden) ~


Well, today I had a school friend's gathering. It's a normal routine, when my school frens returns to their studies abroad, we have a farewell thingy. hmmm... I cannot deny the fact that I usually have a heavy heart for events like this.(mostly school pals) Anyway, you've gotta do what you've gotta do. So, I accepted the invitation and dragged myself on... Finally made it to the location and met my fren along the way. Well, we chit chatted while waiting for the others to come. (Their late~! .. isk isk)
Sooner or later our frens keep streaming in.. and we went like.. "yo~! yo~! how you're doing?.. fine? .. great~!!!" Well, since then I've been pretty dry on our conversations. The first few minutes were basically games, games and more games. Occasionally, there are frequent questions like...."So, how's life?" yabber .. yabber.. full stop. I drank my glass of water.. and again.. and again.. damn..It wasn't until then, my pretty good fren walked in.. and boy.. you shouldda seen the saliva i gathered. hehehe.... Well, I always do wonder why I have tons of stuff to talk to my uni-pals than my fellow schoolmates whom I've spent nearly 10 years with. Anyway, on my drive home, I found the answer .... and used it as my subject's title. :P
(marvin... stop grining~!!!)

* Cries of an INTERN *
08.10.04 (6:15 pm)   [edit]

Somehow life is pretty bitter. My paycheck came in yesterday and "oh..my" I suddenly realised the stinginess of this "multinational" company. I was an innocent trainee when I took this RM300 offer for the job.(not much choices) I was lead to work hard (and i did)... helping in the ongoing project.(usually leaves at 8). Then they asked me to work weekends becos they wanted to do a release fast .... reluctantly I agreed. Last month .. I worked for 1 and a half day (sat and sun) and they just paid me RM10 per day~!!!!! I have strived to sweat and tears just to get a measly RM10~!!! which is not even enuff to pay for my petrol, food and a "happening" life.(urrm.. weekends are meant for outings.) That's it....i've learnt the lesson of life :
NEVER DO EXTRA WORK FOR YOUR COMPANY UNLESS YOU ARE PAID FOR. ~


Anyhow, I came to work today, stamping my feet and cursing my pathetic life until i opened http://cutedimsum.tblog.com" title="http://cutedimsum.tblog.com" target="_blank"http://cutedimsum.tblog.com. nyek nyek... we are going for a karaoke session~!!! (I hope they didn't take into account the things I wrote in my first blog.. hahahahha). Anyways, friends does makes life brighter *wink *wink (er-hem .. this has nothing to do with the 19th of August. ahhahaha)

:wink: the birth of 'dahappypig' blog
08.09.04 (7:47 pm)   [edit]

Last weekend was when it ALL started ----> It was a gloomy sunday afternoon when I picked up the phone to call my fren. There was no reply... and I dialled again. After an endless series of 'toot toot', I heard a 'click' at the other end. "Hello~!" ---- roaring karaoke music at the background. I felt like I was instantly hit by a big rock. :shock: I was forgotten once again.... *dumped.. kicked.. and crushed* damnit.... then I tot of joining the bloggers. Lonely souls chatting with even more lonely souls.. that's probably how this kinda service started anyway. *sob sob*  :cry:


------------------------- ------------------------- ----the end of crappiness--------------- ------------------------- -----------8)  No offense pals~! (you know who you are) hehehe... what was said above CANNOT be treated as real. (altho the incident IS true..). ~ damn i'm really gonna get crushed ~ Anyhow, this blog started off because there is nothing left for me to do in my job. 3 months of continuous drilling.. and now they are leaving me to laze around. (typing this in front of my boss, nyek nyek). Another thing is I got a new hairstyle... so.. i need to announce it to everyone. ahhahahha... new look, new life, new blog ... Well, I think that's basically all why i created this blog ---> summary : trying HARD to make my life interesting. :P
