Today's my bday...!

Ah, finally my bday has arrived... but actually have been celebrated 2 times earlier with my friends, so no more celebrate liao >< Also told my parents that my bday and my bro's bday present combined together to buy an LCD com monitor, so maybe no celebrate also. Nvm la, celebrated 2 times has already made me satisfied and happy... ^^


So my dad touchdown on Malaysia from China around 11.40pm, Wednesday. It was pretty late, and I was a bit tired (cause lepak at Daniel house the whole morning and evening). Lucky my bro drove there, then my dad drove back... else I sure slept on the driving wheel liao, lol. This time my dad brought back silver and stainless steel 'souveniers' for us, no caps.


After much discussion among my bro and parents, finally I decided to get the most expensive silver hand bracelet. Since my 'blessed' tali that I wore for years putus weeks ago, so this is a nice substitute. Before discount, this small little baby is worth a whooping RMB442! After discount, it's worth RM100++. Walao, so expensive... I could buy a nice branded hand bracelet in Malaysia liao! But my dad said it's expensive cause it's pure silver and 'heavy', as China rate how much a silver item is worth by it's weight. o.O;


I didn't choose the rings, cause I got my 2 'faithful' rings which is by my side for years liao (now hanging on my left hand, with my silver necklace from Kek Lok Si Temple). Didn't choose the necklace, cause already wearing a Jade necklace that my dad brought last time. He also brought some food and fruits from China, etc...


Oh, the first person to wish me is my old friend, Shalini (didn't expect that). She sms me at 2am, which I was already sleeping at that time! Then my second bro, and my mom. After that WingC also sms me, but I dislike the 'added' advice, lol. Thanks a lot to all that wished me. To those who haven't, now is the time! XD



Waiting for the most 'important' person to wish me. But will she do it? I will tell u later...! >.<

I'm now a voter!

Went to Daniel's house today... Wow, been months since I last came to his house (last time nearly everyweek). His house is becoming 'bigger', and my plan to have a morning walk was foiled by his 'snaky-ness'... -_-;

So when he woke up, his parents wants us and his bro to go register as voters... huh!?? Never did I imagine that I would have become a voter (cause my parents rarely votes). But since it last forever, might as well do it! XD

Went to the post office, give them my IC, then tell them my religion and phone number... kautim! Oh, need to sign too... It was easy and fast, never would I have imagine! So, have u become a voter yet? :P

Enchanted

Watching the movie 'Enchanted' really is nice... Although most of it seem like fantasy, sometimes you really wonder... must it be? For instance, they fell in love in one day and get married on the next day. Yeah, it may seem too fast... but some couples don't even get married in years! The delay, delay, and delay it... until sometimes, they got fed up and break up in the end. Why? Because you got together so many years, the 'spark' just isn't there anymore...

Those that really cherish their loved one will try to get together ASAP, because they can't stand not seeing the other, even for one day. Then the real test will begin, as life together is totally different... some may like it, some despise it... others scared of it! Those who withstand it and got together through the years is what I admire more, than those being together yet not even married after years.

One part in the movie really touched my heart. It goes like this... 'We have been together for years. Sure there are times when we fought, when we hate each other for the thing we do... but we can't let those cloud our judgement. We cannot sacrifice all those happiness that we went through just because of a little argument!'. Well said... how can a couple went trough the years, together... and finally got divorsed because of one mistake? Nobody's perfect... so give him/her a chance to repent! XD

Another thing is that love sometimes drift away... like the princess who finally love another, than her prince. To prevent this, we should never think things like 'I believe in her, so if she go out with another man, it's ok'. Yeah it's ok... but turn too much blind-eye, then kena rampas and regret... no use liao! So give your partner freedom, but NEVER too much. Man are selfish beings, if you don't grab it first, others will! :P



My mind is wandering to her again. This always happen when I meet her, sigh... I need my medicine! Dota... give me Dota, now!!! >.<

Yesterday had a blast

Yesterday went out with my TARC friends and Daniel to celebrate my bday (early celebration). Although didn't go to Genting or get any presents (I hope to at least get a bday card, but I guess they forgot), still it was a fun and memorable day... way better than how I spent it last year!

Early morning wake up... the plan ws to meet them at Sunway Pyramid at 10am, but knowing that Daniel work in the office till very late the night before, I know sure late one. 10am ONLY we move out from our house, lol... Reach there around 11.15am, cause traffic jam and Daniel 'sesatness' XD

Meet them at the arcade center, which is just beside the cinema (convenient!). Played a bit, then Yling and CMing came. We went to see 'Enchanted' at 11.50am. At first I thought it was a bit lame to see fairy tales movie in a cinema... but after finished watching the movie, I was totally... stunned! The movie was great, with nice plot and marvellous love+life philosophy. Watching it really makes you regret how the world has changed and love really couldn't be as fun and pure, as the early years... I was happy they made the right decision to watch it! (After watching it, you may feel all lovey-dovey inside... beware!) ^^

Then we went to walk around Sunway (it has really changed a lot!). Even experience fake snow, so nice! It was bubbles actually, but it really looked like real snow. Snap some nice pics in the process. Then went around to snap more pics (the real 'present' I wished for, memories!). It was fun, and I was feeling a bit 'mellow' inside whenever 'she' came so close to me to take pics. I know, I know... lame right? LOL XD

Oh, saw Qikibulat there 'live' for the first time while walking in Sunway! She was with Anoni. I thought I saw the wrong person, but then Daniel confirmed it. She didn't know it was me (but I knew her from her blog pics), but later Daniel told her. Must be shocked to see the real Ichitaka, right? Kakaka... XD We were both shy, so we only said Hi... and Bye! Next time we will introduce ourselves... better! :P

After that decided to go Yling house, cause Sam and Daniel never went before. Reached there, what else but... Mahjong! Hahaha, never thought of playing it on a day besides CNY. We used fake money to play only, don't worry! Three player mahjong, I lost while Sam won. WingC and Oon is second place with the 'gamble queen' Yling helping them out, lol...

After that we went for steamboat buffet in Sunway. The place we originally wanted to go was fully packed with people, so we changed to another less crowded one. It was fun eating, chatting and joking around with them there... it lasted for nearly 4 hours. Planned to go mountain hiking next week... sure or not? I scared my leg can't take it only! After dinner we head back home. A very very nice day, thanks to all that make it happen!!! (Those that came were Daniel, Sam, Jimmy, WingC, Oon, YLing and CMing)

I will be not 'I' without mentioning something about YL, right? (Even Qiki wanted to know if 'she' came, unfortunately she was on top of the escalator when she asked! ^^;) I remembered one really 'odd' moment with YL... Here it goes:


Me: Yi Ling, help me bla...bla...bla... (my voice suddenly a bit out of air)
YL: Oh, now you call me Yi Ling (like Chinese pronunciation ver) lah?
Me: O.O' Err... nola, I seldom called you that, only accidentally one! I will still call you Yee...
YL: Never mind, if you want to call me Yi Ling, call me Yi Ling la...
Me: o.O' O.o' 'O.O; ................ errrr...... ok, hahaha......... (tried to breath)
YL: :)

I almost had a heart attack that time...

Last night celebrated my early bday

Wow... didn't check my blog for 2 days suddenly got 9 comments on the post below. I'm happy that there is still people who cared. Thanks a bunch who commented and tried to make me feel better... you really did! ^^ (P/S: Why do some ppl still post crap when they know it's an EMO post? Strange... :P)


Last night suddenly David called and said want to Dota. Aik, Dota on a weekday? So okla, I joined... Suddenly in the van is Lisa and Sum too. Oh, rupanya Dota to celebrate my bday! Lol... sweet! We played Dota for one hour plus when later Daniel came with his bro, Andrew, to join. I was happy because my team won all the rounds (me and Lisa), and even won the last round which I thought were losing! Never give up, that's what I always say... (in Dota, lol).


They treated me to Dota (RM6.50). Thought it's not much, but I appreciated it deeply. You guys (and a gal) spend time Dota with me on a weekday, and even treated me? Priceless...! That's what I always said... I don't really care how you treated my bday, as long as you remembered and DID something with me to celebrate it. Even a simple belanja makan Nasi Goreng Ayam BRJ, I already satisfied! But NOT doing anything about it just pisses me off... Once a year wor, mana boleh tak penting, right? :P


Anyway, after 3 hours and 15 min of Dota, we head back home, cause it was already real late. And they need to work the next day (so sorry for playing till so late...)! But as I was going to follow Daniel back, suddenly Sum and Lisa yelled at us and asked us to come to David's van. I felt something bad... and it was right. A flat tyre!! Oh... no wonder when we were on the way, I heard something like the back wheels going to fall of la! Walao...! >.<


So we had a 'blast', trying to fix the tyre, on 1am in the morning... on a Thursday morning! It was full of sweat and determination, but we managed to enjoyed it with some jokes and 'happenings'. Hey, looks like my bday was 'special' after all...! Hehe!! I really like it when a group of friends hang out to do something like this, together. These memories will always stay in our mind, until the end of time.....


Although at the end, we didn't managed to fix it (cause something prevented the tyre from coming out although we loosen the bolts). So David drive it a bit more front, then stop by the side road because the tyre looked like it's gonna 'peel' of by itself anytime! Nothing can be done, but left the whole vehicle there and find a mechanic the next morning (not SO morning when ppl sedang tidur la!). Daniel send all 6 of us back, packed like sardines (for the back seat) ^^; Lucky he got drive there! I reached home at around 2.15am... siao! o.O


Then this morning I send my mom and bro, went to check on David's van. Still intact, nothing missing and no saman. My heart is relieved and thought of SMS him, but hp credit time limit passed. So called him to make him feel better the moment I reached home (7.45am). But he was sleeping (eh, I thought u said you maybe couldn't sleep, worrying about your car one? XD) Lol... Sorry you need to take a leave to fix ur car David! Again, thx a bunch dude!! A bday (full of sweat and laughters) well spent, I must say... ^^

The coming weekend

WARNING: EMO POST AHEAD. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Sigh... really sien la. First they wanted to go Genting this weekend, but takut no room. Then when got room, complain too expensive pulak. Omg la, me no working also can afford, why u cannot afford leh? (WTF happened to ur savings!?!?) I mean... you dont go for vacations ALWAYS ma, so fork out some extra once a while so susah ka? Guna more duit to makan and buy this and that NP, but when go out with a bunch of friends once a while for vacation, say too expensive pula. If not expensive say no time, cannot take leave, bla, bla, bla... I have nothing more to say.....! -_-

How I wish they still got the spirit when we were young and studying in college. At those time, we will all cramp into a tiny First World Hotel with EIGHT ppl!!! (or was it 13) Sleep on the floor, bed and chairs... but because want to jimat, terpaksala! But we had a HELL of a fun time, nobody complained. Those memories are priceless! But now... go vacation is like working, you NEED to find time for it... then PLAN the cost and THINK througly if it's really worth it or not (use it to tidur more fun and cheap, right!?). All so jimat, want cheap and go on days when u dont need to take leave (but HOLIDAYS wor, all also cuti, of course harga also naik la!) -_- Sigh... do they even think of these factors before??

Another ONCE good pal of mine... he promised me to celebrate my bday this year (cause he didn't go for the last 2-3 years). Then suddenly he has this BIG plan to buy a new house, where he needs to jimat money to pay the home loan... and only left RM200 for food PER MONTH. So if I ask him to go, he will left RM100 to eat the following month. So the decision is final... break promise and get a new house! Woohoo!! -_-

Sighhhhhh... ok ok... emo also no use. So what better way to let go stim than to pawn ppl's butt in DOTA BS. AREM and got Lich... so what else? Let go the fury of the ice and I become BEYOND GODLIKE! It is so fun to pawn ppl and become the terror. Then my winning streak ended by a gb... -_-

This incident has made me feel down... so down, I have no wish of celebrating my bday at all this year. I can only blame it all on the words 'No time!' and 'No money!'. My joy is paralyzed, my hopes... crushed. Should I really blame them? Ask my emo devil, and he will tell.....! >O


Sorry to all my friends who read this and felt annoyed...

Fixing Lisa's com

Yesterday went to Lowyat to fix Lisa's com. Her com was bought at the same time with my first new PC, which was around 1 and a half year ago. Don't know either if PC Zone stuffs are ciplak, or they play too much com... until the graphic card rosak liao. Lucky I bought mine from C-Zone. Anyway, his RM700++ graphic card rosak, and the ppl in PC Zone told him to buy a new one cause the warranty only last for one year... bummer!


So he took back his pc from the repairing shop and went to My PC, another PC shop that he bought the second com from. They went a complete check on his PC and in the end discovered that really the graphic card spoilt. But the difference with this shop is they said they can try change it for a new one from the dealer, for Rm30-Rm50 service charge. They said the 1st year warranty is with the factory, while the 2nd year is with the distributer. Why the last shop didn't do this? Either they were lazy to earn a measly buck, or they prefer the customers to buy a new graphic card rather than exchange the broken one with the distributer... kns!

The new GC is worth RM395, but with only Rm15 as service charge. PC Zone charges RM50 as service charge (to change in the GC)!! o.O; Some more they help him to service the motherboard fan. We can see that the temperature fell from 60*C to 30*C... incredible! Overall, I must say that those inside PC shops are sometimes far better than the normal PC shops that we 'thought' is cheap and nice. Maybe because of some publicity or gimmick, we all thought that the cheapest and most visited PC shop is the best... when it is really more expensive.

You only thought it is cheapest because you only compared it to the 'bigger' PC shops, not the smaller and more hidden ones. To prove that it is cheaper, I took it's price list and C-Zone (another famous PC shop which I bought my 1st PC from)... For one LCD monitor Samsung 17", My PC price RM593, C-Zone price RM620! So my new LCD monitor sure buy from there liao...! XD

So beware... what seems obvious is not always the real thing. Adios~!

A shift in career?

All this time I have only know that I love arts. That's why I finally studied graphic design after two years being 'misleaded' into studying Computer Science and Business Admin. Two years was a real waste, but it gave me the opportunity to learn something I love, rather than those annoying M-Maths related subjects.

But after 2 and a half year of studying GD, I start to doubt my own decision years ago. Sure... GD was fun. A lot of creativity and new stuffs could be gained from studying GD. But one thing I HATE is working as a GD. The working hour is longer, the workload is more... and the pay is less! Work like a dog is what I can describe it... -_-

Then suddenly my bro told me of a new course in TARC, which is game design. Hey... that doesn't sound bad! I love game, and combined with my knowledge in GD, maybe I could make it happen! But then I will waste a couple years studyng again. I wonder if my parents will allow it? Headache, headache... what should I do!?? >.<

Yesterday went to Sum's office

Since nothing to do, and my bro wanted to go to Sum's office to play Magic cards (in an OFFICE!?), so I decided to tag along, yesterday afternoon. My bro played Magic with Sum on top of their big photostat machine thing, while Lisa surf the net or entertain the customers.

I have nothing to do, but see them play the cards. Then later I got bored and play around with Sum's MSN. It was fun to let them guess who I am, but by the way I chatted, they knew I was not Sum soon. It's funny how I never play MSN at home but enjoyed chatting in Sum's office with it. Different environment more fun, maybe?

Received another SMS from SG... this time planning a trip to Genting. I rejected the earlier plan, which was going to Cameron because that place gives me headache phobia (when I was young). Genting still ok IF we take the cable up. I wonder how many ppl are going? Some no money, some busy... will the trip be as fun as the time when we went there last time, during college? I hope so! It's also near my bday, but from the info I got from Jimmy... looks like nobody planned to celebrate it there (or at all). Sad... so sad..... T_T

Oh well, can't be sad because of those tiny stuffs (although it doesn't seem tiny, for me). For most ppl, bdays comes and goes... they never really appreciate it as much when they were young. Remember how we wished it was out bday everyday (when we were young), so we could celebrate it and get presents everyday? Lol... those thoughts never reapeared, but so does the feeling of excitement and anticipation. Humans can be so boring, sometimes..... -_-

Gone is my fav Monday

Yesterday should be one of my fav day of the week, when suddenly it went 'KABOOM!'. The kanasai TV stations changed the programs, and now there's only ONE CSI on Monday!!! Arghhh...! Give me back my CSI!!!! >O

Sigh, can't do anything about it... the TV stations not mine. I just hope they will get negative responses so they will air CSIs again on Mondays. Who the hell want to see dance shows than CSI!?!?

Anyway, last Sat and Sun have been quite a boring week. No DOTA last week, and most of the time went shopping with my mom because need to store some of the food with the recent 'price hike'. And there was the 'J-Card' promotion going on too.

Bday coming soon... but with the recent 'busy-ness' among all my friends, I don't expect they will remember or celebrate it. If they do remember, then of course happy lah... but who knows? Last year only celebrated with 4-5 ppl... total bummer!! T_T But luckily dad's coming back on 28th, so it won't be that lonely on my bday..... >.<

Deepavali has just passed

Yesterday was Deepavali, sorry but Happy Belated Deepavali! XD

Since yesterday Deepavali, sure cuti la. Some ppl take off today so terus 4 days cuti and balik kampung. Those that didn't just work 4 days this week like normal (or 5). Yesterday went to bb with David, Daniel and my bro. I went late cause yesterday was helping my mom to kemaskan the whole house. To be honest, only the 'storage' section, but that also took days to clean up liao! Gila... -_-;

Anyway yesterday also played a bit only, cause raining. I won the 2 point shooting, while my bro won the 3 point shooting (tak kira, but tak apala). Since they wants to play 2vs2 so much, I agreed. But then disaster struck (as I predicted) and my aching toe nail strike against my toe while I was trying to run, and 1000 years of pain is felt...! Then I turn to what they call 'SS', which stands for stationary shooter, LOL. In the end David and my bro won, obviously...

Then we mamak and my bro played Magic with David. The Magic fever is back... but at a wrong time. Why? Cause with the recent hike in all those grocery prices, the kns Magic booster packs also naik. From Rm11 now RM12.90! Walao... how to survive wor?!? Play proxy then? XD

A fun Sunday

Last Sunday went to basketball, after months no bb liao... Unfortunately it is still the rainy seasons, so we only played shooting. But my toe nails still hasn't recovered, so if no rain also I can't play a normal game... >.<;

Shooting... ah, I love shooting, Maybe cause I'm lucky, maybe cause I'm good in it, I donno... but we play 2 and 3 point shooting, and Lisa joined too. The winner for 2 point shooting is Sum while I won the 3 point shooting. Not bad...! ^^

Monday found out a very big and bad secret about my youngest brother. Sigh... I don't know what to do with him liao... rotting day by day, no matter what I said or do to prevent it. His life, his future... I don't care liao! >(

Yawn... life seems to be boring, busy or lazy lately... maybe it's because of the weather, maybe because the year end is coming liao. Whatever the reason is, I hope all will try their best to be happy. Because if you do something and not being happy... what's the point in doing it in the first place? (money seems to be the main reason) Smile and be jolly...! XD

Old monitor rosak

Aii... lately when using the new com outside at the living room, the monitor will make out a loud noice whenever we switch it on... like it's going to explode! Then finally today when we switch it on to Dota, it is dead. Told my bro not to buy second hand monitor, but he don't want to listen! RM50 down the drain, just like that... not even 1 year. And he even bought it from a friend! -_-

So, trying to look for ppl selling or giving out free OLD CRT monitors... if I have the money, of course buy LCD liao, but that depends if my mom wants to 'support' XD To be honest I really hate using the CRT monitor... it looks ugly, big... it is bad on the eye and is not as clear as LCD + more power consumption. Who still use CRT now? I salute same lu...! :P

Roti and mee hoon naik harga liao... soon petrol and milk (again) too. Swt... how can we continue to live in Malaysia if everything naik!? Duit kopi also naik la like that...! >_>;
