Step by Step . . .

I've been lazing around these past few days since my classes are only on Fridays and Saturdays (I see Bernard's eyes filled with envy. Freakyy!). So I figured I might as well use the time to get fit again. I miss the fact that I could run endlessly for hours unlike now, whereby I feel like I'm going to pass out in the first 5 minutes.



So, I started jogging last night for 15 minutes. During the jog, I realised I managed to relax and just focus on jogging. All my worries and frustrations were put aside for that 15 minutes. It felt as if it's just me, myself and I. The fact that I didn't bring my cellphone was even better! No disturbance what-so-ever!

This might be the answer I've been looking for the last couple of weeks where I was feeling down sometimes. A frustrating and lingering problem that have been popping in my head non-stop. But the jog, just 15 minutes, cleared my mind. After the jog, I didn't even worry about it so much as the last couple of weeks. It's like it miriculously disappeared with the all the sweat poured out that night.

Oh the best bit? I felt like I was not a lazy bum for once! Haha...

She's The MAN!!

Went for my usual futsal session yesterday and had a blast! We spent the last hour playing on the newly-done Edelweiss grass field! It's a bit of a change from our usual non-friction ground but it's still cool! Haha... The ball moves slower of course, which could only mean one thing: using more strength to kick the ball around.

I was a bit stiff in the beginning, probably because there was one bunch of guys looking at us play and wanted to see whether chicks can play. Pffftt! Anyway, I scored two superb goals yesterday!! Awesome Awesome!! Girls can definitely kick a ball, dude! Don't play play!!

Miami Vice Is a BIG No-No!

I beg... yes, BEG, those who are reading this entry right now to PLEASE don't waste your hard-earned money on movies like Miami Vice! It actually brings a bad name to the series itself which I so love!

One would expect that if the plot of the movie to be rather dry, the action would make up for the loose ends. In this case, even the action was appaling, not to mention FAKE! You would expect a movie that takes after its infamous series, to be well, better!

Anyway, I was half asleep even before the movie was halfway through. I was squirming in my seat towards the end of the movie and just seriously wanted to get out. I even caught sight of a couple leaving the theatre in the middle of the movie.

So, this is a warning to those who are keen to go but are in doubt on whether to go. This entry is the answer to that burning question of yours! Instead, save your money and buy a nice lunch at Mahattan Fish Market.Oh, the lunch sets are very affordable and worth every cent! Plus, yummy to the last bite! Treat yourself, don't kill yourself with a horrible movie okay, people? :) Take my advice on this one. You won't miss out anything if you don't catch this movie (Bernard, please take note!).

PS: Colin Farrell was the only thing worth watching.Haha...!!

Haze Daze

Man, I wish the haze would just disappear! Went for futsal last sunday with church friends and their friends and found that the ground there was not built for hazy days, my friends.

As soon as we started running around the "field", I realised we were gliding rather than running. Definitely not the ideal "field" for a person with a busted ankle to play on. Anyway, there I was... running *ahem* sorry, I meant gliding and chasing for the ball. Unfortunately, it proved challenging and I didn't managed to score a goal this time! Oh FYI, I scored my second( and the best so far) goal two Sundays ago! Woo hoo! Eat your hearts out, Kelvin & Abbas Wan Hasni! ( Note: They think girls can't kick even if their lives depended on it *rolls eyes*)


Anyway, I've learnt a lesson and no it's not not play futsal on hazy days. Rather, get a better pair of sport shoes! Bwahahaha....!

(Yes, I know... that was rather lame but oh well...!) :p

Oh and inconjunction with the haze, I'm actually "touching" my blog again, because SOME people *COUGH* COUGH* BERNARD (whoops) commented that my blog was collecting dust. So, I'm here to CLEAN it up! BLEKS! LOL

Dance Safe!!

Kayy Elll or rather K.L. is known for its clubbing scenes, but the growing number of people doing drugs at this hip & happening places are worrying.

Have Clean Fun!

Home sweet home!

I'm back home with my family after staying somewhere else for 3 months hence my industrial training. I'm trying to adjust to my old way of life here because....I'm not used to it anymore! I'm used to doing my own things at my own time. Now, it's different! I have to think about 2 other people in the house. Sniffles! Well, at least it keeps me on my feet constantly and also grounded. Hehe.

I was doing my industrial training at a highly well-known magazine company in Malaysia or rather world wide. I've really really learned a lot. Since I was based in the beauty and fashion sections, it was rather refreshing and I learned a lot from the industry :) Now, I'm offering tips and tricks to my family and friends on beauty! Haha...!! What a rather big surprise! Even I'm shocked. But i can't help it! It's like in the back of my head! And it comes to me as a reflex rather than thoughts.Hrmmm...

I'm usually not the make-up kind of person but while I was there, it turns out, make-up ain't that bad. We just need to learn how to use it moderately rather than being obssesive about our imperfections. For example, use a 2 way foundation to even out skin tone nd not going overboard with make up bases, concealer, etc. no matter how tempting it may be. Lol. Well, unless the condition of your skin really calls for it. Other than that, if you have perfectly decent and healthy skin, don't pile up on the make-up, girl!

Oh crap! I did it again! I'm babbling about beauty stuff again..Argghh..Anyway, since we're already on the subject... if any girls are reading my blog, i recommend you guys to try some of the Korean brands that are on our shores now. They're different, offers pretty great results and most of all, affordable!! Try Skinfood and Elianto. I would recommend Skinfood's Lemon Fresh 2 way foundation if your skin if either oily or combination like mine. Goes for RM49.90. It's so smooth even when I used it dry.It was even better when I used it wet! Weee....AS for Elianto, I heard their new range of goat-hair-brushes are great and affordable! There's also the FACESHOP and Ianti. I haven't tried them yet tho'. So do keep checkin this space for more updates!

PS: I should turn this blog into a beauty know-it-all blog! Haha.What a wacky idea. o_O

The best handphone in the whole wide world!

I love this phone! Oh everybody, let me introduce you to my new baby, Samsung SGH x700!! I just got it on Sunday and I tell you, it's been a blast using this phone.The best birthday gift ever (thanks, mum!!).I love the 1.3 megapixel internal camera that paints the perfect pictures that are decent enough to be printed in 3R and 4R size pictures! The fact that it has a Photo Editor, ready to be used in the phone makes it even hotter! I can add frames, emoticons and effects! If you check out my 2 previous blog entries here, the pictures there(including the one with the "I love you mum" )were taken using my phone! Not bad eh? :) The other thing that I simply love about this phone is the dual speakers! It can definetely blast you off with their incredible sound system. So you can listen to your mp3 songs or even tune in to your favourite FM radio channel and feel totally satisfied :) If you use the headset to listen to the songs or any FM radio channel, the sound is crystal clear.The other things I love about this phone is the video and voice recording.I was really impressed with it.The recordings came out clearer and better than I expected.

The downside of this phone was the fact that I have to plug in the headset in order to listen to the FM radio through the speakers. Oh, it doesn't have profile settings like Nokia phones so that makes it a bit tedious when I need to change my settings. The other thing is that I can't enable the vibrator simultaneously with the melodies. I can only choose vibrator, vibrates then plays melody and just the melody.That's kind of sad if you ask me since the phone includes the function of downloading mp3 songs and not being able to use it so freely.

All in all, it's definetely an all-rounder handphone that would definetely make my life easier.I find snapping pictures easier and convenient than ever now! Not to mentio, I got it at a really good price! ^_^ Definetely well worth it for a middle range phone! There's no doubt that it is the best among middle range phones of any brand!

How Jesus Saved the World!!

I was wandering around a shopping mall with my best friend, to look for a pressie for his gf. I didn't know I would find my brother's perfect birthday present there!! I bought him a real cool shirt that said, "How Jesus Saved the World". The ironic thing is that I got it from a shop that sells shirts like "How to make love","Pornstar" and there was even a shirt with two really really adorable monkeys *ahem* doing something obscene( I think you get the picture, guys).

I was flipping through some shirts with some vulgar and profane stuff on them and what do you know!! A shirt that says "How Jesus Saved the World" popped out!! I found it kind of hilarious because of the irony.But hey, my bro loves the shirt and I'm happy too! :) Oh yeah, if u zoom into the words below the icons on the shirt, it says "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, He was buried, and He was raised on the third day- 1 Corinthians 15:3,4". So even good stuff sells guys! Not so-called hip, cool and vulgar stuff. If you respect yourself, do yourself a favour! Get a shirt that show it!Not destroy it!

Happy Mother's Day!

I know it's been awhile since I last posted anything.I've been real busy lately :P But I got some good stuff install for you guys here :D Well at least I think so.Hehe.My bro and I bought a cake for my mum on Mother's Day because we didn't managed to take her out on Sunday with church service and we getting new hps after that :p. So we decided to get for a delicious and scrumptious ,Mango Delight cake on the way home from badminton.And boy, was it good!!! Yum! I hope you guys at least did something nice for your mums!! Not just on Mother's Day but everyday(which is hard, I know but at least try). Anyway, I managed to take pictures of the yummy cake! This is for you, mum!! :)

7 Factors of Divorce!

I was reading through my May issue Cleo of this year's, last night and came across something real interesting that Christian couples should take note! Eventhough if you're not married, this would be useful for you in future.

According to a recent study by Universiti Sains Malaysia's Faculty of Health Director, Prof Datuk Dr. Mafauzy Mohamed, 7 factors contribute to divorce:

1) Failure of husbands and wives in discharging their responsibilities
Which includes paying the bills, seeing the chores and even REPAIRING the kitchen sink (hubbies,TAKE NOTE).

2) LOW RELIGIOUS GROUNDING
Couples that don't pray together apparently don't stay together very long.(Ah-hah! So maybe you guys need to read the Bible more and pay attention to sermons more now)

3) Third party interferences
The dreaded mistress or boyfriend wrecks quite a few marriages.

4) Culture clashes
Different strokes for different folks, they say.Unfortunately, this is a problem in unions.

5) Sexual Problems
Ahhh...the old whipping boy of failed marriages.

6) Money
Another favourite scapegoat: Why blame the yourselves when you can blame the economy right?

7) Careers
An emerging cause(or rather, excuse?)for break-ups, more common in the past 15 years than in the past too.

The thing that I wanted to highlight here is factor #2. It's now proven to you guys,black and white, that it is important to pray to God together as a couple as it strengthens your relationship. Not only among yourselves but also with God. He's able to bless your marriage, union and lives together :) Thus, it is important that both man and woman share the same belief in the Lord Jesus Christ because it is written in His Word,"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers"(2 Corinthians 6:14). No two persons can live in harmony except they are in agreement on life's most important choice (See Amos 3:3).You'll only be pulled into seperate directions and it is already proven in the study that if you guys don't pray together, can't stay together very long. And you can't pray together if you either the man or woman do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ himself. But you can have a happy marriage if you follow the rules in God's Book. Pick up your bible today! :)

Did you know??

I don't know whether you guys were awake during this once in a lifetime(well, in OUR lifetime anyway) event. But this morning at 2 minutes and 3 seconds after 1am, the time and date was 01:02:03:04/05/06.

It happens only once in 1000 years.Our generation is lucky to be able to witness this.How cool is that?? :)

I hope you guys managed to catch this.What a sight(or rather time)!

I shall shout it out loud!! MERDEKA!

Just so we're clear: No, it's not Independence Day, just in case your fumbling with your calenders to check what date it is :P But it is for me IN A WAY.Hehe.I'm done with my final paper for my finals!!Wippeeee!! Communication Reseach Methods was a real killer paper.I had to literally crack my head *ouch* for 3 solid hours -_- Anyway, it's over and done with.

Moving on....

My classmates and I went to celebrate our "victory" by stuffing ourselves with pizza and naan.YUM!! Oh we even managed to catch a movie.Tho' me,Bernard and Alex watched 'The Sentinel' instead of 'She's the Man'(that was what my other classmates watched). The movie was O.K. (read my...BLOG & lips, bernard!! It's only O.K. :p).The fact that Kiefer Sutherland acted as an agent for the U.S. government was kind of a turn-off since he acted as an agent too in the series, 24. It's getting a bit cliche in his part since he seems to end up acting these sort of characters. I'll give it a 6.5/10 since it managed to keep me awake throughout the whole movie (hey! that's generous already k!).

Anyway, my classmates invited me to makan fondue with them today but I'm exhausted and I just want to chill at home.

I can't wait to play pool!! I miss it! The cue, the 8th ball......the trashing(muahahaha)!!......Aaaahhh...I just miss those days.

Ok, i'm off to bed now.I'll write more later if my brother doesn't "shoo"..yes..shoo me away from the com later.

Taz!

TV commercial production is sooo NOT my thing!

I' m so sleepy.I was studying the whole night (well, not exactly.Hehe) until 2.30 am and I couldn't sleep eventhough I was so tired! Plus, I had to wake up at 5.30am to go to uni.I think I was real tensed up for my Multimedia Tool for Advertising paper.Anyway, we had to read up on the production process of TV commercials and memorize all the steps!! Eventhough I made short notes of it, it came up till' 3 pages!! Crazy!! ( -_- '

I basically sailed through the objective questions but when it came to the last question (RM5 to whoever who can guess what the question was about *_*). I suddenly forgot everything I was studying last night! I just went blank.I began praying and praying to God that I'll be able to remember what I studied. The notes started to creep back into my brain though there were some gaps in between but hey, we're only humans. So I thank God for helping me answer all the questions today and the paper turned out to be the easiest so far( Thanks to Miss May's quiz).

So one more paper (a 3 hours paper mind you) to go and I'll truly be FREE!! I can't wait for Wed!

Article Fanatic

The above is an article that me and a classmate of mine, Alex, wrote for the R.Age which was published on the 23rd of February this year. I hope you guys can read it because this is the biggest size I can put here.Hehe.Anyway, I think we did a pretty good job with this article considering it was my first published article! I don't know whether it's a first for Alex because he didn't seem as excited as I was when I saw my name at the byline!!! :D Anyway, thanks Alex for working with me on this article.It was a great experience! I hope to write more for the R.Age during the holidays!

A.K.A.

I was going through a couple of photos in my com and I came across this photo which means a lot to me. I made these cards for my dearest friends; Alex,Kirsten and Aljer for Valentine's Day this year. I miss you guys and how things were a few months back. Love u guys!

Oh, for those of you who are curious as to what I'm babbling about, NO we didn't argue or anything like that! Lol! Just that I don't see them as often as I used to.

Anyway, I pray that God will protect and guide you wherever you guys are! :)

I survived!! Well..barely...

YES!! Ad Copywriting, you're so over!! Muahahaha! :P Sorry, i'm a little excited because I just finished my third paper!! Two more to go! Woo hoo! Ok, the paper was alright except for the fact that we had to answer 3 essay questions out of 4 instead of 2, which the lecturer told us in class! So I pretty much crapped throughout the last question where I had to write a TVC script. I was really running out of time actually.I had great ideas but limited time to put them onto paper!

Ok, it's official! I can kiss the dean's list this semester, good bye!! It was great while it lasted but I have to let it go! Sniffles!! I'm still hoping I could hold on to my 3.6 CGPA but looks like I have a reallyyyy slim chance. Oh well, life must go on. I just hope I don't need to sit for any supplementary paper.That would be a disaster !! If I don't do well this sem, I'll make up for it the following semester.Oh wait, after that actually since I have internship for 3 months after this semester.

Mark my words, people!! I shall return !! :)

Exam Trauma

It's 12.15pm now and I'm having a nervous breakdown while anticipating my third exam paper, Advertising Copywriting,which would be held at 2.00pm later! I'm so stressed and anxious about the paper that I don't think I'll be able to think straight while doing the paper!! Help! I just pray I'll be able to get through this with God's blessings. I'll let you guys know how the paper goes later! taz!

Outing? What outing??

Ok, I know I'm suppose to be in bed right now but I just remembered something thanks to Hui Chan! Lol. I won't be able to go for my CG outing this Saturday due to the fact I have two more papers ( and the worst) to study for by then!I wonder what the guys have planned for this weekend.A futsal match maybe? Hrrmmm......zzzzzzZzzzzzzzzz.......

What a day!

I just came home from uni and I finished my second paper of my final exams today.It was horrific!! First I screwed up the terms and then I screwed up the essay part!! Sniff! Sniff! Oh well, it's in the past. 2 down and 3 more to go!! I can't wait for it to be all over next Wed! Then I'll be having a 3 weeks lovely holiday...Wee.....Oh wait! It wouldn't really be a holiday since I would be busy packing, writing articles and yam char-ing with friends! Not to mention, catch up on the movies I've missed over the months! Oooo...I would be having my internship after that ! I'm a little excited and scared!! Anyway, I'm off to bed! The best part is it's only 2.01PM!! Haha....! What?? I'm tired so sue me! :p

May God bless you guys!

Cheers!

Rocky!

A rock with character. Now that's hard to find :p Haha...Just in case you're curious, my cousins back in U.S. took this pic of a rock that had a "face" and they added a flower and well a... moustache! They found it at a beach during their Easter weekend.Wicked!
