november's chopin rocks!!

i'm sure most ppl have heard of jay's latest album. isn't it just too great? i'm so in love with all his songs. they are so unique and meaningful (tho i don't really understand chinese). just bought it yesterday nia at times square. cost me a freaking RM44.90. it's kinda expensive but hell it's worth it le. try listening to all his songs and u'll noe wat i mean. i'll never get bored listening to them over and over again.

went to ipoh for da weekend. spent 2 days 2 night at al's uncle hse. at 1st we planned to go back pg on fri right after SPM. all said ok, no problem. but after a couple of hrs they changed their mind saying that it was too troublesome to travel back and forth. fine. we cancelled it then. so on sat, yin al and i went to spca (we planned to adopt a pup). then suddenly neo sms-ed al asking us whether we wanna go back mou. wtf!! they were da ones who said din want to go back, and now they were also da ones who said wanna go back. i mean what did they expect us to do? we were half way reaching spca. they couldnt expect us to rush back to sg.long immediately rite? we were stuck in da traffic sumore. and if we all went back, yin will be left alone. so finally al and i decided not to go back. i was really mad at them. i mean who wasnt? who wouldn't?? jz put themselves in my shoe and they'd noe how it feels when their frens go back on their words. but anyway let bygones be bygones. i wouldn't want to think of it now. wouldnt hope this matter to hurt da great friendship that we share. but i just hope it wouldn't happen again. not anymore.

anyway, we went to spca in hoping we could adopt a pup. saw many dogs and pups there. some are so darn cute i jz couldnt resist bringing all of them home. and there were the beagle named miko, 11 months old and a pup, unknown, a few months old, dat yin and i loved so much. talking bout love at 1st sight, these 2 pups reali made me fell head over heels with them. hahahaha! so we went to da register counter asking about da procedures and all. but the lady told us dat they wouldn't allow students to adopt dogs or pups. this is because they are afraid the students do not have the time to take care of the pups and few months down da road they will be returning da pups back to the spca. too bad, so sad. yin and i were damn disappointed. tried convincing da lady but she just wouldnt agree. sigh. what else could we do?

on our way back to sg.long, we went to air terjun sg.gabai to buy some putu piring. yum yum...they sure were delicious *drooling*. if u dont noe what i am talkin about, feel free to drop by at al's blog. i guess she'll post the pics up when she's free. hehehe. simple and cheap local food but yet still taste SO SO good. heaven food haven...

after that, we had dinner some nearby. had chicken tom yam, telur dadar and kailan ikan masin. wasnt a satisfying meal tho. went back home to pack our things and off we went to ipoh. started da journey at bout 9 or 9smth. reached around 12am. al's uncle brought us to have supper. ate chicken wings, ikan bakar and fried koay teow mee. *burp*. wah...very da extremely full la. hehe.

da next morning (sunday) we woke up at bout 9.30am. as for breakfast we had dim sum at fuh san restaurant. so many ppl lo. but luckily we waited for a while nia. after dim sum, uncle kheong brought us to ipoh spca. again we found a pup we kinda like and this time we asked uncle kheong to help us. i guess we just didn't have da luck. mission FAILED!! well let's hope there is someone out there who wishes to give away his/her pup or dog. i've been wanting to have a pup since i was small. really hope my wish will come true *keep my fingers crossed*.

da next destination was ipoh jusco. we walked aimlessly as we've got nth much to buy. helped yin to search for x'mas present for her colleague. she ended up buying a mug at watson. at bout 4smth or 5pm, uncle kheong came and fetched us from jusco. had an early dinner. ate ipoh famous "taugeh chicken" (nga choi kai). yum yum. it tasted soooooooo good. nth in sg.long can be compared to this. it was simply delicious. indeed, it was too delicious to describe. *drooling again*. ngek ngek ngek...

went for a midnight show at jusco at 11.30pm. watched the chronicles of narnia. IMHO, it was a great movie. full of fantasy, nice scenery, snow, etc. i love aslan (the lion), the adorable beavers, mr.tumnus, and last but not least, the handsome peter. hehehe. a movie worth watching.

monday, 12th dec - had our breakfast wif al's grandma and uncle meng. after that, we proceeded to another coffee shop to have our white coffee and egg custard. another heaven food haven. *contented sigh*. before we went back to sg.long, we dropped by at perak cave. erm, nth much to see there. at bout 2.15pm, we decided to balik kampung. sesat for bout an hr in ipoh before we found our way home. hahaha. can't blame us tho. it was our (yin and i) 1st time there ma. blame al la, da skill-less ipoh tour guide.hehehe. jz kidding la. no offence ya, al?

another movie at times square. this time we watched aeonflux, some sci-fi movie recommended by yin. not a bad movie. very high-tech. reached home at almost 12am. it was definitely a very tiring day esp for yin. she drove all da way from ipoh to times square to sg.long. well i must really salute her la. however, she tuang kerja da next day. hahaha.

enough for today's entry. i'm sleepy oso d la. wanna visit my slumberland jor. nitez...

poem to ponder

it's not how much u accomplish in life that really counts
but how much u give to others
it's not how high u build ur dreams that make a difference
but how high ur faith can climb
it's not how many goals u can reachbut how many lives u can touch
it's not who u know that matters
but who u are inside
believe in the impossible
hold tight to the incredible
and live each day to its fullest potential
you can make a difference to your world...

~NEVER QUIT~
believe in urself
ur vision of ur future
keep ur dreams alive
despite the challenges along the way
dont be afraid of change
grow and learn as u go
move ahead with confidence
always reach forward
challenge the impossible
and risk urself the limits
opportunities ahead are endless
never quit until u win
u have greatness within u
nurture it with hope and passion
there'll be NOTHING u cant do...

happy birthday, bro

he should be 29-years-old today. how i wish i could wish him happy birthday. but the fact is i'll never have the chance to do so. 5 years have passed by since the day he left us. i guess everybody still misses him as much as i do. mum and dad especially. no matter what i do, i could never replace bro in their heart. but i just hope time would really heal their pain of losing their dearest son. mine hasn't recovered yet. people always say that time is the greatest way to heal someone's wound. i wonder, have their wounds healed?

watever it is, wherever you are, i jz wanna wish u happy birthday, bro (tho u may not able to hear it). love u now, always and forever....

a long awaited entry

been away from this blogging business for quite a while. a lot of things happened during these past few weeks. i had an accident (the 1st accident in my life but thk god no one was injured) on the way back to ulu long after our 1 week raya break. ken wee's car (poor this fella), was sent to the workshop somewhere in ipoh. and as for us (al, yonnie, parkking, ken wee and i), we were stranded in the slim river police station for at least 6hrs. can u actually imagine that? 6 damn long and boring hours doing nothing. and we were all darn hungry. but lucky us, there was this so called mamak opposite da police station. so al yonnie and parkking went there for dinner and ta pau mee goreng for ken wee and i. one word to describe da mee - YUCKS! it was terrible, horrible and vegetable. actually it has nothing to do with vegetable but i simply included the word because they rhyme perfectly dont they? haha.

since ken wee's car was towed to the ipoh workshop, we had no choice but to call up his father's friend who stays in cheras to come and fetched us. the uncle arrived at bout 8 smth (alhamdulilah =p). we were then caught in the stupid traffic for another 3 hours plus before reaching ulu long. and by then it was already midnight. that was da longest journey i'd ever travelled from pg to kl. it took us more than 15hrs to reach (we started da journey at 9am).

the next day when we woke up, everybody "ached here and there". al n i had stiff necks while yonnie n parkking had muscles pain. i had a hard time turning my neck while talking to my friends. this lasted for about 4-5 days before i fully recovered. sigh...lucky us really.

went to the zoo negara a couple of weeks ago with nee, angel and al. the condition there was so poor that i felt really bad for the animals. they were sorta ill-treated. sigh. even malacca zoo is a million times better than our national zoo. well just look at the zoo in singapore (i haven't been there before but my friends told me that it is very well maintained). doesn't our government feel embarass? tsk tsk. really no cure la.

spent a lot during this short semester. what to do? my pc kena virus. brought it to TYM to reformat and dat cost me rm35. it stayed at the ICU for about a week before discharging. as if that wasn't enough, my pc went bonkers, haywire watever u choose to call it. AGAIN!! my pc just refused to shut down after i switched it on. i was left with no choice but to turn off da power. SHIT!! sent it to TYM again and this time i was charged rm150 for adding 1 RAM to 512MB. i thought things will be alrite but then...sigh. very bad luck lo. still da problem persist. but it was slightly better this time. my pc could shut down but oni it takes kinda long for it to do so. sigh. can somebody help me diagnose watz wrong with my pc? damn...

came back from the pc fair held at klcc about 2 hours. bought myself a USB card 256MB - rm68. it was very small n light. weigh about 3gram i think. and i got a pair of free earphone with the purchase. also bought a somic headphone for rm7. had genki sushi for lunch but it wasnt a satisfying meal tho. da sushi was great but the bento set wasnt. da unagi bento at 8th row tastes even better. tsk tsk. wat a disappoinment. well nth could be done now. too bad, so sad...

sigh. itz time for me to stop crapping jor. i should be seated in front of my study table instead of having my butt glued here. haha. next wed is my exam. 1st paper is international business followed by strategic planning and mgmt. the latter paper is on fri, 9th dec. and da final one is moral which will be on da 17th dec. stupid huh da time table arrangement? we gotta wait for 8 long days in ulu long. tsk tsk. utar really no skill la.

really gotta run now. till then chiaoz dudez!!
