heaven knows

my life in grey

Some stupid thing has infested my laptop. It keeps popping up stupid stuff saying that it's been infected with virus and all the crap. But when I scan it with my McAfee, there's no virus. What the crap...

Now, let me officially introduce my oh so cool phone...


*pls: logically speaking, this pic can't be taken by my phone.
I have no idea why that everytime someone looks at this phone, and when the person looks back at me, the fella will think that my phone is an AP set. So let me make this clear. Thou does not support neither will I buy AP phones.

On an entirely different note... I have every intention to bite "someone's" head off. Is it that hard to understand simple english and just do it?? I don't think I ever gibberish before and neither do I speek greek. So till now, I don't know what is the problem. *refraining myself from cursing*

Although I really really like the song "shattered", but this time, I'm not going to break and shatter.

And here's a song dedicated to "that"....
Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I’m seein myself so differently
I didn’t wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought id say
I’m fine
Without you

Today is either a rather happy day or it is a rather sad day.

Remember the phone that I was supposed to buy to replace my current phone?? I went around scouting the price. It was all less than RM 1000. So I thought it was a pretty good bargain already for a reasonably good phone with good specifications. Finally, I got an offer of less than RM900...even better. After CONFIRMING that I would definitely get that phone after Christmas, IT just had to happen.

This was the IT incident...
After having dinner with my family on Christmas day, we walked around Summit and just looked at other handphones for fun. Then, I told my dad that I initially wanted a different model, a better model of course...Yeah, that model was the Nokia 6210 Navigator. Main intention to have that phone is for its navigation purposes, which is suitable for a person who always gets herself lost...like ME!

And there I was telling my dad that although I like that phone, it was way out of my league cause it would mean that I have to fork out additional RM 350. Super SIAO!! That would make me SUPER DUPER POOR on top of my existing poor condition now. So I didn't really thought much about it.

The next morning (this morning la), my mom called me to ask if I'm going down to KL to get my phone. And she added the extra question to "rub" it in, "so which phone are you buying now?" Sigh... sad case early in the morning. But of course I answered with honesty and also pityful-ness that I would be like super poor if I bought that phone.

Then my mom continued on saying that if the other phone is better than it's up to me. When I got to the shop in KL with my dad, we asked for the Supernova phone 1st. And then my dad asked about the Navigator phone. *cries*

And now, finally... long story cut short. I got the 6210 Navigator and is officially SUPER DUPER POOR now.

Got the phone which is super cool...to me at least = happy
Used extra money which wasn't intended to = misery

Of course... I didn't sell off or trade-in my W810i. My faithful W810i is still with me. No heart to sell off my faithful phone.

ALERT!!!
Due to the fact that my phone is somehow nuts, I can barely charge it. And now, it's running out of battery. So, if you sms/call me and it can't get through, you know why.

I look at my next semester's timetable and I feel sad and depressed already. They meant to torture us for the whole 3 years...confirm!



Can you imagine having a day that has only 1 class. BUT....the class starts from 4pm to 6pm. Isn't it FANTASTIC?! Nothing can compare to Malaysian education system's timetables. Really one of a kind that was meant to drill us and squeeze us dry.



Now, I'm contemplating. To buy or not to buy. Of course I've weighed the consequences of both actions. Still left undecided. But surprisingly, my dad went "research" about it already... like the price and specifications.



And the object that has yet been decided on is....



The Nokia 7610 Supernova.

Since my phone is a bit crazy already, I was thinking that maybe it's time to change my phone. It's crazy in a sense that it is super difficult to charge and I'm always on the verge of having a dead phone.

But "The Green Paper" or in our country, "The Blue Paper", is highly important and which I'm lacking of right now. Sigh... sponsors anyone??

Oo.. I forgot to mention another weird thing that happened yesterday (thursday).

I saw my Management Principle tutor near my church. Weird situation although we were both in our cars and driving. Imagine, my uni is like nowhere near my housing area or nearby. And that wasn't the 1st time I saw him in that area. I saw him once in Pyramid too. Super weird. Now I know why he knows so much about Subang and Sunway when he uses companies within these areas as examples in class.

And so, it's down to the last 24hours before all the work is done. Yeap yeap... After days and nights of hard work/labour, we're finally within that few hours of being free from work. Unfortunately, I'll get this feeling again in a few months time. Hopefully it won't feel as much as this time.

***
I hate this feeling
And it just keeps building
It's utterly annoying
Not to mention frustrating
I need it to stop
But it's being a prick
And it's waiting for the day that I'll go "pop!"
Stupid, monkey, dumb, all put together
Hoping that this thing won't be here much longer
Thinking about it leaves me messed up
Looking at it emphasizes every good part
I can't see beyond the block that's ahead
So I guess I'll just leave it instead
Wanting to know whether it will ever stop?
That is something that I need to ask God

I have to label today as the Weird Day.

Weird incident No. 1
When I went for lunch with my mom in a coffee shop, I saw a guy. A guy that looks 90% like Robert Pattinson. OMG... The only difference is that his face was thinner with not so prominent jaw line.

*once again I'd like to emphasize that I do not have a fan crush or whatever crush on Robert Pattinson

If I could, I would take a picture and put a comparison here. But the guy was sitting right in front of me and facing me. So yeah, awkward to take a pic or to even stare for long.

Weird incident No. 2
While I was leaving my housing area to go to church, I saw from afar a person that looked like *censored*. I was thinking to myself that it can't possibly be. But as my car approaches the turning, the fella really looked like *censored*. So I really opened my eyes big and wide to look properly and I almost took too big a turn. But... it's not *censored* although the person really look a lot like *censored*. Oh well....

I feel like I'm about to fall sick. The "signs and symptoms" are slowly appearing one by one. I don't know what's the cause of it though. But it's definitely irritating cause I hate taking medicines or seeing a doctor. Plus it's near Christmas and I haven't done my Christmas shopping yet. Sigh...

Had lunch with Rachie today. Like finally... After being missing for so long.

Something weird happened today. It's really weird that it made me blur and speechless. It's so weird that... I'm not going to say what it is here. =p

Monkey limewire is having connection problems that I can't download my songs fast enough. Have to find some sort of alternative...

At 1st, I didn't know what "O.A.R." stands for. Now I know that it stands for "Of A Revolution". Pretty cool name. And their song shattered is nice. Yet another song that got me hooked to it. Good lyrics. I can't help but fall in love with songs that have good lyrics and even better when the band / singer have good skills.

"how many times can I break till I shatter,
over the line can't define what I'm after,
I always turn the car around
give me a break let me make my own pattern
all that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around"

I'm finally back from Youth Camp.

It wasn't as bad as I expected. But the 1st day was horrible. It was because of the rain, and it got the place all muddy and dirty and it got us dirty and wet as well. This camp was like a mini boot-camp. We had the flying fox, kayaking, par course thingy and telematch. Really shows off my un-fitness level physically. Can't really relate it to age right?? But I think the age issue is part of it... And I almost thought that I would get pneumonia already because I bathe crazy cold water everyday. Especially on the 1st day when it was raining and cold.

I think that I'm truly blessed during the camp this time. The message got across very well. It revived me again amidst all the business.

But more importantly, this camp slowed things down for me to take some time to breathe and also to reflect back on a lot of things. Destress... Although I still have many things that needs a bit of rushing already, but I think it's still good.

I wonder why... Why does my mom bring up occassionally which guy is good, nice, etc. Sigh... I don't really get the sudden promotion of guys in front of my face. And my reaction to it was, "give up in loving guys already. now love God only~"

So for whoever that's reading this, you know better. Please don't promote guys to me... currently and in the near future not interested. Unless they come along naturally. Do I look as though I'm so in need of a guy? Although I'm clumsy, but I think I can still manage on my own.

Sigh... I'm so hooked. So hooked to these songs...
The Script - I'm Yours (thanks to my twin)
Iron & Wine - Flightless Bird, American Mouth
Jon McLaughlin - So close

Now.. It's time to "treat" my aching muscles and also my "presents" from Youth Camp. All the nice bruises that resemble 50cents and 20cents need attending to. And also the cut which is itching like mad...yeesh~

Yesterday was quite...an awesome day.

Went out with Ms Jessie aka Dodol. We went on a food hunt you see... all for the sake of Youth Camp. And while we were in Mydin, the stupidest thing happened...

As I drove into Mydin, due to the fact that I haven't been there before, I didn't know where the parking was. I thought it was like the Pyramid parking where they have upstairs and also basement. Since I turned in, I kept on my left...I don't know why...and I saw this ramp going up and I thought it was going to the parking lot anyways. After I got up there, it was the FREAKING WAREHOUSE. Sigh...stupidity of a different level.

After all our food shopping spree and buying stuff, we headed to Pyramid. Met Tim there for lunch and then Tim decided to try out the Fish Spa. 1 word explains it all... Ticklish. Jessie and I were practically screaming there because it was super ticklish everytime the fish sucks out of your feet.

And the conclusion for the Fish Spa is... the fishies are MORE attracted to feet which have dry skin.

*****
I have this sudden odd feeling of confusion. Which is leading to slight frustration. And is taking the light out of my eyes.
I think some wouldn't understand why I love the movie Twilight so much. Partial reason is my twin's fault for intro-ing me to the movie. Haha...
Let me make this clear first...I absolutely DO NOT have a fan crush on Robert Pattinson.
It's just the story... It's just something that will never happen in real life. And I feel that it is just the thing that caught hold of me.
this thing that has caught hold of the empty space within, is making me feel every bit of the pain once again

I'm absolutely worn out.

I've been painting like nuts for the past 3hours plus. Backache, eye pain and neck pain. Sigh...

2days ago, I had a funny conversation with my mom thru sms. She was asking me about my work stuff...

Mom: You managed to finish?
Mua: Yeah, I just finished.
Mom: So you going to send it now or later?
Mua: Later la. Now brain, eye, and finger damage la!!
Mom: Wah, so serious ah? Have you informed him?
Mua: Inform him about what? To pay my medical bills ah?

Then my mom called and started laughing on the phone. So yeah...

Half of my day today was a super sad day. Why?? Because my most precious boy went for surgery. *sob sob* After much explanation from the doctor about the least that I could expect and the worse case scenario, of course I got more sad. But, being a Biomedical Science student...sigh...this is what I've been taught to tolerate.

Halfway through my meeting, I got a call from the doc. He said the surgery went well and my precious boy took the surgery better than he expected. Of course man...he's my precious boy, a fighter. Hehe.. But now he has to rest because he didn't eat after he came back.

God is truly good once again for taking care of my boy =)


Note: He's precious 'cause he's cute, furry, fat and lazy. And...he's one of a kind..hehe

Just like what Pei Ying said... Twilight was superb.

For those who don't understand "love" stuff, you won't find this movie interesting and nice.

But seriously. This movie has got my eyes hooked to the screen from the start to the very ending. If you don't know what this movie is about, go to http://www.twilightthemovie.com/

I'm quite tempted to watch it again. haha....

I have been MISSING from the internet world for quite a few days!!!

No, I'm not crazy...YET.

Thanks to church work, my own work (income purposes) and home work... My time is practically filled up from the moment I open my eyes to the minute I close them. Plus, I haven't looked at my SRC proposals yet. *toot*

So here's roughly what happened the past few days while I was "away".

Wednesday (26/11/08).... Busy day No.1
Went down to Sg Long for UTAR Ball meeting. Thanks to my smartness, I bought KFC mash potato to eat while sitting in for meeting. Or not, I'll be like Kelvin who starved till the time we reached Sri Kembangan.

After meeting, is eat/food/happy hour. We went steamboat-ing/BBQ-ing. Super heaty!! Almost sore-throat the next day. But it was nice and fun.
Burned pandan leaves thanks to our intensive BBQ-ing. And I learned some "tricks" from Tjun Kong also for BBQ-ing.

So yeah, we had quite a good time eating...like really stuffing ourselves.

Thursday (27/11/08).... Busy Day No.2
The most embarrasing thing ALMOST happened. I took my dog to the vet cause he's having some health problems. To add onto the frustration of having to wait more than 1 hour, some kids kept walking in and out of the consultation room. It's like every 2/3 minutes they would walk in and then walk back out and make a whole lot of unnecessary noise. After all the check-up, blood taking, and medicine taking, I just remembered that I MAY not have enough money to pay the bill cause I didn't expect the blood test.

Blood test = RM145.00
Others = unknown at that moment
Money I have = RM 180.00

Monkey... that was a very close call. Lucky the bill was RM 166.00. See how super close that was?? Craziness..

I almost forgot what we discussed on Wednesday. That is to pay our Ms. Lim a visit. Luckily, Kelvin reminded me. Plus is was super last minute. The moment I came back from the vet and cooked my Maggi, Kelvin called. Swt... But, due to my super speed in doing things, I managed to shower and dry my hair just as they arrived. Now you know why you guys waited so long right? Haha....
So, in the car, me and Ivan got to know that Kelvin took the extra effort to Google the map to Klang Parade. Fuyoh... so hardworking and excited to get to see Ms Lim that he Googled the map so we won't get lost. Meaning more time with Ms Lim...That is the cold hard fact. Haha... Anyhows, we still got a little lost and we made the same mistake as we did the last time.

Ms Kah Yee was super happy to see us. Haha... See how good we are to go all the way there?? Then we did some impromptu stuff... Karaoke. Ivan complained bout the food...cause it was buffet and we just ate before we went there. Haha... Kelvin sang...a bit. But still sang. It was Kah Yee's time to release stress. Plus, it was raining and Klang was more or less flooded. Especially the road that Kah Yee thought us to use to go to Neway Klang.

And for your info... I didn't get lost after coming back from the toilet, Kelvin. At least I peeped into the next room only, I didn't walk straight in. Haha...
Kah Yee de-stressing. Capable of becoming a candidate to perform in UTAR Ball.
Everyone destressing. *Evidence of Kelvin singing*
Friday (28/11/08).... Busy Day No.3
At first, my friday was super free and I thought I could finish up my work. Had SDC meeting in the morning only. But...I decided to go to Times Square with Chi Wei and Ms Sum to discuss with the management for our UTAR Ball venue in the evening.
So, the discussion was a success. With a bit of the "when the push comes to a shove" scenario, everything was agreed on. After that, dinner...a super long dinner. Haha... Then I went to help out with church stuff again till late midnight.
Saturday (29/11/08).... Busy Day No.4
From morning till late evening, I was stuck in church. 1st was for Youth camp worship practice and 2nd was for Sunday Service practice. Super tiring...Pure craziness. Amazing Johnston still has energy left for the Sunday Service practice. I was literally zombie-ing already. And finally, I had dinner with my family after so many nights of having dinner outside with friends. And... got to spend time watching some sick vampire movie at home with my parents while doing my work at the same time, a.k.a multitasking.
Sunday (30/11/08).... Busy Day No.5
Obviously, went to church in the morning. Plus, had briefing for camp after that. But... escaped super fast after that to avoid people asking me to stay back and do things again.
Came back... some gloomy black clouds were in the air, everyone was in a bad mood with no apparent reason. Then I helped my dad do painting work again. Then...the unexpected happen. As my bro drove my mom's car to park in front of the house, he rammed into his own car that was parked at the side. Super GG situation... more black clouds...near raining situation. So, of course...there was some shouting, screaming, yelling, scolding thing going on in and outside the house until Cold War happened.
Just as we went out for dinner, I offered to "belanja" sushi since my mom wanted to try Zanmai previously. Sigh... here get pay, there money go out. But it's ok...since it lightened up everyone's mood by ordering super a lot...money is no problem.
Then, money out from pocket again...bought some stuff for my dog and I paid for it since mom bad mood. So better not make matters worse by asking her to pay... self sacrifice again. *sob sob* But once again, it's ok. Cause the moment we got home, she took the toy that I bought for my dogs and started playing with them. Meaning... Cold War over. Meaning... Pearly is super poor now.
Monday (1/12/08).... Busy Day No. 6
After sending my dad to work, I was suppose to finish a bit of my work. But...laziness took effect. I slept on the sofa in my hall till 10.30am. I only managed to wake up cause mom called and reminded me that I need to go to MBPJ to pay my summon.
So I went to MBPJ and waited for 30mins just to get parking and go in to pay my summon for like less than 10 mins.
Then, I went to fix my stupid MMS, GPRS thing again. After fiddling with my phone for a bit, the monkey fella told me can use already. But I tried and couldn't even go into the internet. Then he told me that my GPRS is not working but my MMS is fine already. Do you see the logic in that statement?? How can the MMS be working when the GPRS is not functioning?? So finally he asked me to go back to the main service center...without telling me where is the main service center. After asking, then only I know it's in pyramid. Brainless...
At night, I got a sudden sms from Johnny saying "work" is on. So..there I went again to do church work till midnight.
So that pretty much sums up my busy days so far. Today WAS suppose to be a busy day but 1 meeting was cancelled. So my day's more or less free...FINALLY...
