Random Ramblings

(Change title cos I kept editing this entry -.-)

IPOH, July 30 -- A newborn baby boy was found dead in the hostel of Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP), Tronoh near here yesterday.

Perak CID chief SAC II Ismail Yatim said the dead baby with the umbilical cord still intact was found in one of the hostel rooms by a cleaner at 7am.

An 18 year-old student was detained to assist investigation. The baby was sent to Changkat Melintang Hospital for a post-mortem.

Ismail said the student who was detained at noon yesterday was investigated under Section 318 of the Penal Code for concealing the birth and discarding the baby.

...

I'm speechless. And dead curious. Wonder which hostel the poor baby was dumped and found. Most of all, I wonder who's the girl. 18 years old only leh!

If duwanna keep the baby, abort it at the early stage of pregnancy lar. Let the baby live for 9 months only dump him and let him die =.=

But can't blame her oso. Maybe she was too scared and didn't know how to deal with the situation. She's just 18. I wonder who and where the hell the baby's father is =.=

I don't know if I should even comment on this.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a different note, I was on meebo yesterday night and I had a chat with Mr. Vain @ LYH (He will kill me if I reveal his identity)

LYH: All you have to do is wink and one million boys come ady
Me: HAHAHA you teach me lar. I dono how
LYH: Easy only. Hahaha you need practice
Me: LOL Can't believe a guy is teaching me to wink at other guys =.=
LYH: Hahaha it'll be fun to say "I wasn't winking at u" when he approaches. See his expression quite fun. Pawned/loser.

Interesting fella. His talking style reminds me a lot of Ah Sim.

Another interesting stuff from him ^^

I'm obviously in the second-row sleepers group ^^

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pics pics! I should hv done this 2 weeks ago but no com so now only upload =)


Introducing..my roomie! Plus both our stuff before moving them into the room -.-


My part of it. Dumped clothes on bed cos my cupboard was locked. Had to wait for someone to unlock it =.=


The shelf (plus a bit of my study desk)


Notice board =)


The right part of my desk


I see this everyday. No greens but it's a pretty decent view. From 5th floor T_T The building straight on is the cafeteria. The food sucks.

The tidiness of my room now is a million times worse than how it was portrayed in the pics =P

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The absence of alternatives clears the mind marvelously.

I couldn't agree more since alternatives, and particularly desirable alternatives, grow only on imaginary trees.

Maybe, like what my friend said, all of it was just a fling. An internship fling for me and a (uncategorized) fling for him ^^

I know I contradict myself. I'm just fickle-minded =D

A really old song to share. I have the (quite accurate) English version of it but I choose not to put it up.


開不了口 | Kai Bu Liao Kou

才離開沒多久就開始 擔心今天的妳過得好不好
cai li kai mei duo jiu jiu kai shi dan xin jin tian de ni guo de hao bu hao

整個畫面是妳 想妳想的睡不著
zheng ge hua mian shi ni xiang ni xiang de shui bu zhao

嘴嘟嘟那可愛的模樣 還有在妳身上香香的味道
zui du du na ke ai de mo yang hai you zai ni shen shang xiang xiang de wei dao

我的快樂是妳 想妳想的都會笑
wo de kuai le shi ni xiang ni xiang de dou hui xiao


Chorus 1

沒有妳在我有多難熬
mei you ni zai wo you duo nan ao

(沒有妳在我有多難熬多煩惱)
(mei you ni zai wo you duo nan ao duo fan nao)

沒有妳煩我有多煩惱
mei you ni fan wo you duo fan nao

(沒有妳煩我有多煩惱多難熬)
(mei you ni fan wo you duo fan nao duo nan ao)

穿過雲層 我試著努力向妳奔跑
chuan guo yun ceng wo shi zhe nu li xiang ni ben pao

愛才送到 妳卻已在別人懷抱
ai cai song dao ni que yi zai bie ren huai bao


Chorus 2

就是開不了口讓她知道
jiu shi kai bu liao kou rang ta zhi dao

我一定會呵護著妳也逗妳笑
wo yi ding hui he hu zhe ni ye dou ni xiao

妳對我有多重要 我後悔沒讓妳知道
ni dui wo you duo zhong yao wo hou hui mei rang ni zhi dao

安靜的聽妳撒嬌 看妳睡著一直到老
an jing de ting ni sa jiao kan ni shui zhao yi zhi dao lao

就是開不了口讓她知道
jiu shi kai bu liao kou rang ta zhi dao

就是那麼簡單幾句我辦不到
jiu shi na me jian dan ji ju wo ban bu dao

整顆心懸在半空我只能夠遠遠看著
zheng ke xin xuan zai ban kong wo zhi neng gou yuan yuan kan zhao

這些我都做得到但那個人已經不是我
zhe xie wo dou zuo de dao dan na ge ren yi jing bu shi wo

Repeat Chorus 1

Repeat Chorus 2

And a friend said this after reading this entry: 应该是说你始终都放不下

I think I 放下 ady lor. I not emo wannn. That song lar. Cis. But it's a really good song. Highly recommended! =P

Installing Love

Some interesting stuff to share.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes ... How can I help you?

Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?

Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do I do first?

The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?

Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?

What programs are running ?

Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.

No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off ?

I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.

Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?

Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.

Oops! I have an error message already. It says, "Error - Program not run on external components." What should I do?

Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.

So, what should I do?

Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.

Okay, done.

Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.

Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?

Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think he still visits this site =) Hopefully this entry helps to mend, at least 1%, all the damages done. I hope he will let her read this too.

As for myself, I have learnt to see things in a different perspective, though it's a lil too late but being late is always better than never, right? =) The past still hurts but there is now zero grudge and resentment. All the negative assumptions I made in the past were forgotten. As for the forgiveness part of it, I still don't know which is real but I choose to believe everything IS real, so there's absolutely no need for forgiveness. I'll blame it on poor luck and fate instead =)

"Hopefully with this lesson, we will both learn to grow and be more mature."

Definitely, we will.

I Can Run..

But can I hide?

I traveled back to uni yesterday. Tumpang-ed fren's car and was seated in the middle, between two girls. I was most of the time staring at the dull view on my right..

Before we reached Pusing, I happened to turn my head to my left to talk to my fren and I saw a clinic with his name, without the second 'i'.

Wokay..

I never noticed this clinic exist lor. The name's odd enough to catch my attention so if it's there before I left for internship, I should have noticed it.

And today, as I rushed to get my final report verified and all, I saw a car bearing the exact same number plate as his.

...

It was scorching hot and I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me so I stood there, under the hot sun, staring at it while all sorts of memories of us in his car came gushing right back at me.

Countless rides back. Kampachi. Tong-sui at Jelutong. Car wash..

...

This seriously isn't right, when all I want to do now is to forget everything in the past 8 months.

A friend quoted: Dun leave like a tornado and leave a whirlwind of broken hearts.

I don't think that's true..in my case =)

Since we agreed to cut off all contacts, I wonder if he still visits this site.

Anyway. 2nd week ady!! My seniors were right. Damn hard to get back the study mood after such a long 'break' during internship.

Usually by the end of 1st week I would be quite kan cheong about my books and tutorials lor. This time..so selamba. Die =.=

And I haven't been taking proper meals, especially dinner. I'm just too lazy to descend 10 flights of stairs to go cafe for dinner and panjat back the 10 flights after dinner. Pointless oso la if I have proper meal. All the food consumed will be converted into energy just to climb those stairs =.= Think I lost 1 or 2 kgs since I came back T_T

Got class in 30 mins time. Have to climb stairs again T_T

ZiYuan in Penang!

This entry a bit outdated. Just only managed to grab a few pics from Emily =)

18/07/08

Em's supposed to pick me up at 5.15 pm but due to certain 'unforeseen' circumstances, I was late so Em and I left my place at 6 pm. Kena teruk by KC cos I was late to QB Mall a few days before, also due to that 'unforeseen' circumstances ^^

Neway, we went Little Cottage for dinner.

Us at Little Cottage after dinner

Then headed to OldTown to yam cha.

Me, the pro photographer ^^

We wanted to get a group pic so bad we actually asked a little boy girl to snap one for us. The pic turned out pretty good tho. Lucky lucky! =D

Not too bad


One pic is never enough for us girls so we went all out to get something, anything to support the camera. We even tried stacking our bags up high! =.= It obviously didn't work out.

KC, ZiYuan, Mua and Emily. Camera's on some pillars ^^


Then, camwhore!

Emily's hidden. Haha!

^^


Last but not least, personal pic with our old old friend =)

Before we left, each had a picture with ZiYuan


It was a really fun night. We had sooo much to catch up i.e. studies, internship, graduation, work, relationship, and even engagements and marriages! Serious. No joke =D

It will be at least 5-6 years down the road before I get to meet ZiYuan again =(

July 08 Schedule

It's finally erm..finalized? But some classes location tak tau ^^

MDC - Microwave Devices & Components
CS II - Communication Systems II
MN - Multimedia Network
MS - Malaysian Studies
PCS - Professional Communication Systems Skills

The 6th 'subject' I'm taking this sem is Final Year Project I.

Two lectures clash on Monday 10-11 am. My MDC lecturer allows me to skip his class every week cos we couldn't find a new slot to fit everyone in. Dunno should yay or not.

MDC is a continuation of Electromagnetic Theory. Big headache. First lecture nia the board is full of weird formulas ady (cos watever I learnt in EMT were thrown away right after the final paper) =P

Malaysian Studies. Stoopid subject. Talkative lecturer who alwiz go off topic. I see myself skipping this class starting next week ^^

PCS no finals wan. Graded from both individual and group presentations throughout the semester. Must be in formal attire in every class or will be chased out of the lecture hall.

As for my FYP, I'm doing an analysis on signal integrity for high speed digital circuit on the PrintedCircuitBoard (PCB).

For this sem (FYP I), I will be doing some literature study on high speed PCB design, understand the root causes of signal integrity problems and wrap them up with some simulations on the ADC ADS software. Have absolutely no idea about software.

Next sem (FYP II) only carry out my project on hardware, which is the Digital Communication Analyzer. Don't know what that is also >.<>

No Air

I felt so confined. So trapped. With not much air to breathe.

Too much of something isn't good. I was showered with care a wee bit too much.

I.have.never.felt.so.miserable.before.

Kinda ironic, don't you think? Some yearn for just 1% of what I get but here I am, complaining about it =.=

I should just shut up =)

To You-Know-Who

What if someone close to you for almost 8 months long suddenly tells stuff which he should have told months ago?

What if that someone sings two different tunes, one before and the other after I leave Altera?

What if that someone suddenly turns into a total ass overnight?

What if that someone keeps saying "I don't know" a million times to run away from the situation and leave the affected people hanging?

Tell me. Will you just shrug it off..or will you think revenge is sweet?

P/S: I won't bother keeping this whole thing subtle anymore. You are either a big time conman or you are just too chicken to make the next move.

I was never told he couldn't leave everything. And I was convinced and assured of what he really wants. I then realized I was just a donkey to trust him and he's just an ass to lead me on.

Now that I've left Altera, he wants to fade away quietly. Sooo responsible of him. I wish I'm mean enough to destroy his life.

Just like how he destroyed mine.

P/P/S: Decided to just put it back up since a million ppl read it already =.= Readership doubled. People just love gossips.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

You simply do NOT give me such high hopes and let me fall for you only to dash them in the end.

You dashed them just because of ONE WRONG assumption you made. Just because I didn't bother correcting you at that time.

'Sorry' alone isn't going to erase the wounds on my heart. 'Sorry' alone isn't going to make it any easier for me to forget the short but wonderful moments together or the sms-es.

Thanks for making my life tumble aimlessly. I hope you (and her) are happy.

I was lost. I still am. But I won't be..hopefully.

P/P/P/S: Some taken from syen's entry

Leaving..

It was no doubt depressing. I mean, who would wanna leave Penang (my hometown samo!) for a super rural place like Tronoh, where my uni resides? Seriously =(

Despite all the headache I got when my desktop crashed, I really had fun hanging out with a friend I haven't met for years - Zi Yuan. We haven't met since we were 12! Her family moved to the US after UPSR and we kinda lost contact since but it's good to at least keep in touch after a decade. Not many people can pull that off, you know. KC, Emily, ZYuan and I had lotsa fun catching up with each other, especially during the photo-taking session. We were so crazy and went as far as we could just to get a decent group pic without bothering the passers-by.

Will upload pics once I get them. Emily, send them quick quick quick! =P

And today, I spent 11 hours in GurneyPlaza! >.<

1pm - 7 pm: Met KC, Mandy and Lyn for lunch and movie. Dark Knight. Real good. Serious.

7pm - 11pm: Met a friend for dinner. And since he hiao dowanna join us for movie in the afternoon and rather join his frens watch the midnight screening..

3+am - tak tau: He's coming over later =.= He either misses me a lot (since I'm leaving tmr) or he's just trying to prove he's a daredevil cos my dad will surely chew his whole body up if he was caught sneaking into my house compound =)

Sigh. I'm leaving in like..six hours' time. Oh. Have I mentioned I'll be desktop-less/laptop-less for 3 LONG weeks? T_T

Planned to get the Dell Inspiron 1420 before I go back but some problems arose so couldn't go as planned. Aih.

I don't feel like sleeping tho I'm kinda sleepy now. Maybe cos I don't wanna waste my last few hours in Penang (before I go back uni), sleeping..

Or maybe cos I'm expecting at least something, to assure me things have yet to change.

But seems to me..it has changed a great deal. And I haven't even left yet.

UPDATES!

My friend came, climbed over the gate, toured my house (downstairs only cos I didn't dare to take the risk) and left at 5.30 am. And as soon as I put everything back into place (locks, keys, etc), dad's alarm went off. I totally FREAKED OUT, slammed the wooden door HARD and ran upstairs, hoping the alarm sound could cover the noise I made.

Thankfully it did =D

It was really heart-stopping. The whole sneaky sneaky thing. My heart could really jump right out at the slightest noise.

Don't know if I have the guts to do that again. Hehe.

For now, I'm off! No com for 3 weeks =(

Sedih

Dept birthday celebration for Dec Babies at Macedoine Dining, QB Mall

Something funny =P

This guy damn teruk. Haha

Don't-Know-What-To-Title-This

I was sooooo distracted the whole of today. Wanted to complete my final report by tonight but I kept procrastinating since I woke up.

I never learn ^^

After lunch, I gave myself a two-hour time off to watch 'Secret', starring Jay Chou. Pretty old movie and it's not exactly a good one but certain parts seriously WOW-ed me, especially the part where two guys showed off their piano talents.

*melts*

Before I could even finish my movie, I was occupied with some other random stuff till now.

And final report? Untouched since yesterday night =.=

Die larrr T_T

On a different note, I kinda dread going back to uni now cause lately, I have been fearing the worst. I'm afraid some things and people will change..

I'm after all won't be able to be in Penang physically. And I'll most likely be too occupied with the upcoming assignments, tests, projects and exams to give an equal or more attention as the present state.

Distance is invisible and intangible and I fear it will be the cause of a huge impact on me in a few months' time. This really scares the crap out of me.

I hope I'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong?

A different note again. Yesterday, I was told I take matters seriously, be it sports, academic-related, work-related, everything. And I was told it is a really good trait.

But I was also told I should learn to let things off the hook once I have tried my very best yet failed to reach my aim for it is my effort which matters most.

This applies to most issues, I would say. But it's really not so easy to put everything aside. It took me two years plus last time. Don't know about this time..

I'm kinda tired and drowsy now but still excited about badminton later, in like..an hour's time. Yay!

Final report still untouched. Yay =.=

Bad Bad Day

WHAT THE HELL!!!

STOOPID ME FORGOT TO SAVE MY 40% COMPLETED FINAL REPORT!!

ARGHHHHHH!!!

%#%&#@$$%&^%*^%&$ !!!


I was deciding to stay home (alone) and do report or go watch Hellboy..

But now don't need to choose d T_T

*stares at blank Microsoft Word document*

One emo friend recommended an emo song to me. Better In Time, by Leona Lewis. Manufactured artiste, according to Chris.

The lyrics super emo (which is good cause it's meant to be emo) but the entire song's not THAT emo.

Well, my heart didn't ache when I listen to it, unlike songs like "I Want You to Want Me" by Lobo and "Kenangan Terindah" by Samsons.

Bad combination lar. The voice, melody, music, everything. Lyrics is good tho.


It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Go in, come in, thought I heard a knock
Who's there? No one, thinking that I deserved it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
You didn't notice, you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is, I'ma be okay

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
(It'll all get better in time)
Even though I really loved you
I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve to
(It'll all get better in time)

How could I turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me?
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings?

If I'm dreaming, don't wanna let, hurt my feelings
But that's the path, I believe in
And I know that, time will heal it
You didn't notice, you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is, I'ma be okay

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
(It'll all get better in time)
Even though I really loved you
I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve to
(It'll all get better in time)

Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go so I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is, I'll be fine without you
Yes, I will

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
(It'll all get better in time)
Even though I really loved you
I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve to, yes, I do
(It'll all get better in time)

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too, yeah
(It'll all get better in time)
And even though I really loved you
I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve to


Hancock's Mary (Charlize Theron) quoted: Fate doesn't decide everything.
People get to choose.

I did. But luck is not on my side.

Hopefully there's a 'yet' to end the sentence.

*grips hard* =)

Spring Cleaning

Can't believe I chose to spend my entire Sunday evening (from after lunch till 6pm!) cleaning my room and packing my stuff to transport back to uni.

I should have just followed fren to movie! >.<

The good thing is, my room is now super clean ^^


20% of my 'uni stuff'. Looonnggg way to go still =.=


I took the trouble to change my table deco too. Previously none of my soft toys were on the table cos I dumped all of them on my bed..

But now..


CJ7, pink piggy and Patrick on the radio (given by Citibank)


One bear and a grey doggie on the table too, beside the radio. Cute lehhhh! =P

Farewell Meals

Like I've mentioned in my farewell email, I wanna say a BIG BIG thankiu(s) to those who took the trouble to pamper me before I leave Altera, for good or for a year.

THANKIU THANKIU~


With Chris, Jeremy and Danesh


UTP interns


My team ^^


With Chris & Jantzen


Didn't managed to get pics of all the farewell meals so only a few are uploaded here but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate them ya ^^

Farewell

Today finally came. It wasn't as emotional as I thought I would get for I was SUPER busy throughout the day. First I forgot to get my verification statement document signed. Then I realized I still owe my supervisor two weekly reports. I'm still far from getting my final report done. And my cube's a mess.

Despite all the last minute workload I had, Altera's HR just had to whip out a training report for us to complete before we leave the company.

Great.

I rushed like crazy. Aih. Next time taubat ady. Will TRY to not procrastinate ^^

But I managed to find time to send a farewell email to all my colleagues =)

================================================================

Greetings!

I'm pretty sure most of you know today is my last day in Altera. The past eight months have been great (though I appeared to be a little quiet in the first few months) and now, I am leaving with a heavy heart.

I would like to specifically express my heartfelt gratitude to my sv, Steve for being there to guide me along the way throughout my 32 weeks in Altera. And for being patient with me too =)

And to my teammates, it was indeed a great pleasure working with you guys, either directly or indirectly. I had so much fun and will definitely miss your antics (especially kakng’s and khgoh’s contagious laughter).

To the badminton gang, I was glad (and I still am) to have participated in the Pulau Tikus’s competition and joined you guys in the weekly sessions. Not forgetting Altera’s annual badminton competition, whereby I’m pretty sure I’ll be remembered whenever the topic pops up, for all the wrong reasons =) Thanks a bunch for the card and postcard! Really appreciate it =D

And last but not least, I would like to thank for all the farewell lunches and dinners I was pampered with (you know who you are). Appreciate it soooo much! ^^

Knowing you guys have created a new chapter in my life, a wonderful one too! I will definitely reminisce on my internship days every now and then for it is truly a whole new and unforgettable experience for me.

It was really heart wrenching when I arrived today for I know I won’t step into this company anytime soon. I’ll be thrown back into the jungle (where my university resides) next Sunday =(

As quoted by a colleague: There is no option to not leaving for we have to move forward but there is indeed an option to come back to Altera.

*smiles*

Altera's definitely an option for me if the situation permits.

And finally, I would love to keep in touch with you guys. Feel free to contact me at ericating86@gmail.com

Till we meet again..one day when our paths choose to cross one more time =)

====================================================================

We then had a short photoshoot session during my final two hours in the company.


Her cube should be awarded the most decorative cube. Serious. ^^


I will definitely miss all of them for my life revolved around them for the past 32 weeks.

But the person I will definitely miss most is..

Eve of My Departure

From Altera.

SIGHS.

The badminton gang had a farewell dinner for me today. And they surprised me with a card! ^^ I was really shocked but feeling really happy at that time cos I didn't see it coming.

So sweet of them =)

The card. Lovely hor =P

The interior

^^

The date a bit wrong. Not a big deal. Luckily they didn't put 'RIP'.

On my way back from dinner, my heart felt heavier than before. Probably cos I suddenly realized how little time I have left in Altera.

And in Penang..

T_T

And that stoopid Fly.FM just had to play Mariah Carey's latest hit, Bye Bye at that time!

That's the second time I heard it in like..two hours! Both times also in the car..


Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
I wish I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by


SIGHSSS..

And in the car, when my friend recalled the happiest thing that had happened to me in Altera, I couldn't tahan ady.

Damn emotional lar me =.=

Tomorrow's my last day in Altera.

But..

I don't want to say goodbye..

Candid Moments

I somehow find this pic damn yeng! =P

Was watching men's singles I think..

Browsing pics in Dhil's camera

With my captain, EngHuat. Forgot what made us so happy ady ^^

The Worst Dinner Ever

Now I know how it feels like for someone to ask other people out without me knowing till the very last minute.

Okay okay not VERY last minute but it’s still last minute.

I have to clarify that I do not mind a single bit about my couple friends, Carmen and James (a Korean) joining H and I. I’m not the only lamp post anyway.

But the fact that H didn’t put in any effort to make everyone felt at place got me annoyed. Not everyone's like him la can fit in so well! So gao ask ppl come and then just don’t care about them.

Great job.

And the fact that H and Carmen kept conversing in Hokkien, using weird secret codes which both James and I obviously couldn’t understand, pissed me off.

Isn’t it downright RUDE to converse in Hokkien when there’s a Korean in the group?! Ask him along ady speak in Hokkien samo.

And isn’t it super downright RUDE to use phrases only you both know, to converse when other people, for instance James and I, were there listening?

Wanna discuss something private kenot wait izit? Must discuss it during dinner when there were other people around IZIT?!

I felt damn neglected and ignored.

After dinner, I couldn’t go back yet cos I was locked out (my fault since I forgot to bring the keys with me) so we went to watch a basketball match somewhere near my place.

His friends were there.

And I was ignored AGAIN for a good 20 minutes or so.

-____-"

Luckily my uni senior, A called. It has been a while since I last saw/talked to him. And I won’t deny the fact that I missed the times we used to hang out; in uni, Ipoh or in Penang.

I talked to him for quite long ar..can’t remember the exact duration but it’s definitely more than half an hour. We shared quite a great deal of personal secrets and he somehow made me realize several stuff since we see things differently.

This reminds me. I’m really a bad, bad friend. I forgot his birthday!!! >.<

McDreamy ^^

Day #3 : 5 July '08

My team's out ady despite winning by quite a large margin to the team we were against with yesterday T_T Lost by a few points to another team, which kicked us out of the competition.

No more day #4 for me and my teammates =(

Oh well. I had fun. Got to know a few new people.

Got the chance to witness the yeng-ness of McDreamy too! =P

If I didn’t join, I wouldn’t have known he could play THAT well with style~

KuenSoon's skills are much better than him plus he has his own style too but I find McDreamy’s style more yeng.

Watched two of his matches today. He contributed some points to his team in the mixed doubles but lost quite badly in the individual event men’s singles, mainly due to his lack of stamina.

But his smashes are still as yeng as ever ^^

OH OH and I bumped into McDreamy at Padini yesterday night!! XD XD

*almost melts*

Time Flies

Minus today, I have 7 days left before I leave Altera.

And 16 more till I bid farewell to everything and everyone in Penang.

Aih.

Don't know if it's a good or a bad thing. Don't know if I should feel happy or sad about it. Mixed emotions.


ANYHOO..


For the past few weeks I was sooo free I practically shake legs in office. Serious. My sv even asked me to slack off cos he doesn't know what else to assign me to. Most of my time's spent on having longer breakfast and tea breaks in the cafe, lepak-ing at ppl's cubes, utilizing the internal messenger (Spark) as well as meebo.com, celuping good stuff from Chris's both shared and hard disk drive, etc.

I reli shudn reveal what lazy stuff I've been doing cos one of the managers actually reads my blog.

Ahem.

But today I worked really, really hard on my presentation slides! Really!

So you see..I'm not exactly lazy =P I just get distracted very easily.

Have I mentioned I worked really hard on it? ^^

Reason I'm busy with slides: I'm required to give a presentation to my WHOLE department!

-___-"

Die.

Hope I won't stammer much and screw up my presentation for the 2nd time >.<

My previous slides (to my uni lecturer) were a pile of crap if I compared mine with Chris's. Must give him some credits cos he was willing to teach me some cool new stuff in PowerPoint ^^

And the cool new stuff is the animation feature.

Yea yea I know I'm from the stone age. Blek.

Now back to the issue. Time really flies.
