Choices

Life is all about making choices. To choose from alternatives given. Sometimes it is hard to decide. Sometimes you might worry that you make the wrong desicion. And decisions that have been made cannot turn back. So when deciding on something, we must think properly the consequences that follow after that. Which is more important and so on.

Today is the 1st day I came back to UM for 2nd semester of studies. And today is the day which has made me decide a lot and I'm really tired of it.

Firstly is whether to apply for remark for my previous exam papers. I didn't do quite well for 2 subjects and at first I thought not to bother about it but this morning when I reached my faculty and saw the notice for remark, suddenly something struck my mind and I decided to send for remark because this is the chance for me to get better grades although it is risky. It's a hard choice but since I have submitted the form, what I can do is to wait and hope.

Then came to course registration. At first I have already registered according to the subjects that we need to take. But my friends kept giving comments on what we should take this semester and why. Some said take this subject for this semester would be easier... bla, bla, bla... and so on. Then, I decided to take on their advice and change one course and add extra one course. But when I wanted to add and drop, I couldn't add any more subjects because my maximum credit hours is 18 hours. At first, I was quite troubled with this matter, but after that, I told myself, since I've registered earlier and whatever it is, we still need to take all the subject is just the matter of time. So I made up my mind to stick with my old time table. Whatever it is, I just need to work harder. That's all!

I joined dancing for a musical performance which will be held on 21 January 2009. Yesterday I had just attended for the first practice. Actually tonight suppose to have another practice but the coach is sick so it is cancelled. I thought of going back to home town this weekend because coming weeks I will not be free to go back anymore till CNY. However, there will be dancing practice too this weekend. So now the problem that is troubling me is whether to go back home or stay in UM. Can you give me advice?

My Xmas Gfit

Last week, I received a very special Xmas gift from my best friend, Tse Hwei. Below is the card she made for me.

Why I said special because it is hand made by her. Since young till now, I knew her as a blur queen who lacks of sense of direction and also doesn't know what's happening around except for her talent in music. To my surprise, she sewed this piece of picture for my Xmas gift! I really can't believe it because she doesn't know how to sew! And yet she learnt how to sew and sewed it for me. I'm so touched...

She sewed it pretty well for a beginner. Even I, myself also don't know how to sew this. Together with this lovely piece is a photo frame that she bought for me too because she thought I could put in her sewing in this frame. "Don't think that it can't fit, it fits in well with a little adjustment." ^^

Thank you so much!

Emptiness

I'm feeling empty. I'm feeling lonely. The emptiness within me is hard to describe. I don't know how to explain this feeling. It's weird. Why am I feeling this way? I keep asking myself the same question over and over again. But I can't seem to find an answer to it.

I have friends and family who would always be there for me when I need them. I am happy with my life now because I got to spend my time with friends and family. I appreciate them a lot, but still why am I feeling empty? I feel like lacking of something. But I don't know what. What can I fill in to make my heart full?

Is it because of love? But all this while I'm used to being single and I feel happy with my single life. As long as my friends and family are there, I'm already very grateful.

I hate this feeling of emptiness! It makes me sad and gloomy. Although I have had great time with my friends and family during this holiday, but I still feel lack of something. What is it?

There are so many things kept within myself that I wanted to find someone to share with. I know I can share with my best friends or my close family members. But they have their own lives. They have their own problems. They have their own things to do. I'm not the only one with this feeling. Maybe they have too, and feel just like the way I feel.

That is why I do not want to burden them with my matters anymore. So who should I seek?? Maybe I'm tired of being single. I need someone to talk to. I need someone who can share with me.

But it's not easy to find that someone. I hope that someone will appear in my life soon.

Friend's Birthday Celebration

This was the second time I went to KTV since holiday and with the same gang of friends again to celebrate a friend's birthday. If you have read my previous post, you should've known the highly rated 'singer', Lynn. This time I had the chance to record her singing and you can see why I said she is highly rated. Hehe...

Happy 20th B'day!!

Say cheese!!

Traditional game - Bite the candle out

Another high ranked 'singer'

This is Lynn!

Ferris Wheel

Looking at the title, you must have thought, "Ya, ferris wheel... so? What's so nice about it?" Some of you might think that it's just a machine bringing us go up and down in a circle to amuse the passengers... or shall I say kids.

But to me, it is totally a different meaning. Ferris wheel is not just a machine or something for you to ride in. It's more than that. It moves in a circle. Do you know why?

To me, it represents our lives. It's a never ending cycle, never ending journey until the time the ferris wheel stops moving, when our lives stop the journey on earth.

When it's at the bottom, that's the time when you feel down. Your life seems to face with many problems. You feel like just giving up and you feel that it's hard to overcome your problems. You don't know what to do and you don't know how to do it. You don't know who to find. You feel like you are alone. This is the hardest part in our lives.

But if you have the will, you will continue non-stop to climb up. This is when the ferris wheel moves up. At this time you might feel hard as the climbing process is not easy. Don't be afraid to go on... because you are not alone. Seek your family and friends and you will realize how much they care for you. With their support, you go through it. When you start to see the beautiful scenery that surrounds you as the ferris wheel moves up, you will be more determined to reach to the highest peak.

Now, you have survived through all the obstacles and reach the top. You feel like you are on top of the world. The beautiful view of the world below you feels great. You feel like you have all the things you wanted. You are satisfied with your life. No regret. This is the happiest moment in your life. The glory in your life. You feel like staying on top forever and never wish to go down.

But this is life. This is the truth. As time passes by, you become older. Activites are reduced, you retire. This is the time you feel like you want to rest, have a peaceful life. The ferris wheel starts to move down. You do not wish to fight for glory any longer. You have passed through it before and now you just want to settle down peacefully. The scenery around you still looks beautiful. You enjoy the moment you are having now. You feel calm.

Now the ferris wheel is going to stop soon. It's going to reach the bottom. You know your life is coming to an end. You know your journey is going to end because you have reached the place. Although it's sad having to leave the ferris wheel knowing that you can no longer view the beautiful scenery. But you have ride through it once. You know how it feels. You have experienced it. You have no regret. You have nothing to hold you back. You have nothing left undone. The ferris wheel reaches the destination. It's time to say goodbye. You leave without any hesitation because you know this is LIFE'S JOURNEY.


Now you know why ferris wheel is meaningful to me? It represents my life. Life is not easy. But we only live life once. So live your life to the fullest while you can. Be bold to overcome all the problems and strive to reach to the top. Dream and make your dreams realize. Do not hesitate, do not fear. Fight for your goal. Only this then you will have no regret living in this world. Then when it's time to leave this world, you will have no regret. Because you know you have gone through all the things you have wanted before. There's nothing to hold you back. You leave in peace. This is life. You have the choice to decide on your life whether to ride in a ferris wheel or never ride it and stay at the bottom forever without even have the chance to look at the beautiful scenery.

The pictures above were taken by me showing the changes of the beautiful colours of a ferris wheel. Hope you enjoy this post.

The Moment We Share Together

Last week I joined my friends and went to KTV. It was fun and funny as well especially when some of my friends sang. The picture labelled below showing "outstanding" girl is Lynn. She was the most "geng" singer on that day. Why? She could sing Kelly Clarkson's song, "Because of You" with her real voice even at the highest range key and made all the audience went "WOW!!". She even composed her own lyrics for certain songs to address to certain people. HAHAHA...

Below shows the opposite side of "S.H.E". They are 3 good friends but they don't really like singing. We forced them to sing, they sang but... no expression on their faces and no mood of tone on their voices...

SInging KTV with them was really fun when all of us can sing and shout together! We picked those rock songs which really made us shouted like mad! Hahaha!! The duet between my monitor, Justin (the only guy there) and Lynn also made the atmosphere went high! Last time I thought singing in KTV, as long as we could sing nicely and feel the song, then it would feel good. But it has never been so great singing with your close friends shouting all the way even out of tune because this is the moment we share together. ^^

Gan Wu Nv

Another song sang by Rynn Lim during his visit to Melaka.

Funny Brother

I have a very humorous brother who is now studying in NUS. Sometimes we will chat in msn and a few days ago I had just chatted with him. Because some of the conversation was too funny, I can't stand laughing at it.

Pozan is my brother. At first when I saw the last 2 sentences, I didn't believe he was my brother (coz I've been tricked by his roommate before). To me, my brother is a person who doesn't know how to "merajuk" in a "manja" way... And so... But it turned out that... (Pozan: ur own bro also u cant recognize... sadnyer...)

My brother is a lazy person, even lazier than me. But he asked me to work hard. Reason?? (See below)

Showing the "kesian" emotican also is not like my brother style. Now only I realized my brother is sooooooooooooooooooooooo "HUMOROUS"...

Well, my brother loves to eat. And he complained a lot about the food in Singapore.

He likes "wan tan mee" and he thought I would also like too. But I'm neutral towards "wan tan mee" and he can't believe it. (What's the big deal?)

I said I like "mien fen gao" and so he asked me to bring him to the best place to eat. I didn't guarantee that it's the best in my hometown. And this was how he replied...

So now I know "gagal = gull-gull". I don't know how does a seagull looks like and so he drew for me to see... This was his drawing... ^^

Muahahahahahahaha.............. His drawing is terribadzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... But the shape still can be seen clearly, I shall really praise my brother... By the way, my brother gave me a task to do which require me to do a report out. So if I fail in doing the report correctly, then I'm a *gull-gull* -_-'''

He also asked me to plot a graph using excel (which I don't know how to use). *Aahhhhh... I know, I know this is very "memalukan" for an account student like me!* So I decided to learn.

Now I got a new nickname: *gull-gull sistah* = "gagal sister".

I'm also a lazy person especially when being asked to do research. So my brother replied, "I believe u know how a seagull looks like" -_-'''

I love music so much that I'm willing to do research on it in spite of my laziness. And so I explored myself to find out how to use windows movie maker. But my brother...

He wanted to make fun of me but he doesn't have this software... woo~woo~

I thought this software is already installed in every computer automatically. But he only has windows media player...

My brother wanted to know whether it's easy to use or not... And so I replied...

And this was how he replied...

While chatting with him, I was also designing ads for my cousin. I told him it's not easy to do and then he said I lousy. -_-'''

I asked him to do for me since he said till so easy. Without even hesitating, he replied...

I think my brother has no other people to boast to, so he boasted to me.

After a while, I asked him for some tips on how to do the 'assignment' that he has given me. This time my brother turned serious...

Then I said next time I will start my own business and I can be the boss without needing to work for others. He said if I really can do it, he wants to work for me. Haha...

Wants to be a CFO but doesn't know account...

So he replied...

*Sweat*''' His exam was about to start in a few days time and yet he has not started studying. Reason??

At times, my brother can get very serious, talking like a mature man...

This is the story of me and my brother. The End! Thank you!!

Gai Jia - Rynn Lim

Here is the video which I have recorded when I went to see Rynn during his visit in Malacca. He sang 2 songs, Gai Jia and Gan Wu Nv. I'll show one song first, {Gai Jia} because I have problem uploading another song. Paiseh, paiseh...

Here We Come... Jonker!!!

As I've mentioned in my previous post, UM Yao Lan Shou went to Malacca for camp as a preparation for next year Dayao. On Saturday night (22/11/08), we performed at Jonker Street. The singer group sang 13 songs including our theme song, {Ai.Suo Yi} and the dancer group danced a song, {Belly Dancer}.

During the journey to Malacca - I managed to snap a picture of our YLS president while he was sleeping *Heehee*

Committee members waiting for the performance to start *If you see properly, you can find 2 people "syok sendiri" there* =p

"Come, let us take picture for you."
