Are u desperate to be slim?
2008-02-22 04:37:00 If you had noticed, weight loss advertisements are everywhere!!! Everywhere you go you are bombarded with images of stick thin underage girls and pictures of fat women losing 100 pounds to become the slim sexy women they are now.. Its like the public is telling you that its wrong to be fat!Its even worst in America when even radio stations have advertisements about the ideal weight. The slogan will always be something like, "Do you want to attract the sexy guy in your office?" or "Do you want to feel good about yourself?". What happen to feeling good no matter how you look? I swear the advertisements out here are so much more out there that if I am a young naive teenage girl, I'll be anorexic!Do you think weight loss pills work?http://www.text-link-ads.com/xml_blo gger.php?inventory_key=074S6E16OYNQXLZR0F KM More About: Slim , Desperate
Roommate problems!
2008-02-11 08:16:00 I am facing so much problems with my roommate recently that it is giving me headache every single day. I really don't know what to do about it. Since I'm from Malaysia, I'm always feeling cold around here even though people say California is never cold. Therefore, I on the heater every single day. But you know what my roommate loves to do? She'll turn off the heater when I'm in the room and when I get up in the morning, I'll freeze to death.Is it because she's hot? No... She claims to want to save energy!!!!Argh!!! I have the privilege to have a heater and I want to make full use of it!!!! She can stay outside the dorms and save as much energy as she wants but dont make me freeze to death because of her sudden interest in saving global warming!Its so frustrating I tell you. She knows I hate the cold but she still does it. What should I do?Did u know what I wanted to do when I found out she turned off my heater and the room was around 15 degrees Celsius?I wanted to on the A.C ... More About: Problems
Fiber Optical Cables
2008-02-11 07:27:00 The first time I heard about fiber optic cables was when I was in high school learning about communications in my physics book. I was remember the chapter was something about electronic and the last part of the chapter was something about modern physics and how this thing called fiber optical cables can pass information through it at a super fast speed.Nowadays most of our data, internet information and stuff are passed through fiber optic cables.

Buying a house
2008-02-06 07:05:00 Buying a house can be a really tough thing to do. I noticed, especially in Orange County, property can be really expensive here. The average house over here, which is super small compared to our average double story houses in Malaysia, is around half a million USD per house. They are so small I tell you that you can almost touch the ceiling when you step into the living room! And I'm considered super short.But when you wanna live here, you have to live like the Romans do. That's why they have luxury real estate. For those people that are willing to pay high prices to get good houses. I wonder when will I get to own my own house..http://www.text-link-ads.com/xml_b logger.php?inventory_key=074S6E16OYNQXLZR 0FKM More About: House , Buying , A House

2008-02-05 03:06:00 Oh my goodness.. This is gonna be my first time being away from home during Chinese New Year. I hate this so much. I have barely 10 students in my university who is Chinese and no one in the whole university would know that it IS CNY!!! Imagine!!!Argh.. In Malaysia, we have a week of holiday for school children and even that we complain that it is not enough. Though most chinese schools would take a longer holiday for the students though they tend to have to pay it back by going to school on Saturdays but over here.. no one gives a damn that it is CNY!!! It is like every other day here.. We still go to class. The world still functions normally. No CNY songs blasting around in malls and markets, no red decorations filling shops everywhere, no CNY songs playing on radios, nothing. No oranges in supermarkets. No banks giving away ang paus to random people. Nothing.No CNY spirit at all!!! Argh.. I miss all those.THough I do not come from a super traditional family where all rules are fo... More About: Home

After two whole months of not swimming, I am like a giant hippopotamus in a pool! Can't move at all! =( Argh..And I thought I could swim in the Amazon River. I wish!Today for swimming practice we didn't go into the pool because it was absolutely too cold to do it. Correction, none of us wanted to go into the pool because it was raining and the coaches had no choice. Hehe.. so we did dry land practice instead! Boy! Was it hard. We did 15 minutes of cardiac training. I didn't bring my tennis shoes so I went on the the cycling machine instead. We had an elliptical machine too and it was quite fun going on it. The remaining 45 mins of our time was used for weight training. I didn't realize how many weight machines I had in my university's gym! And to my very surprise, I can do pull ups!

Gay Advertisements!
2008-01-23 08:36:00 It seems that San Francisco is the gay capital of US and the place where all the gay people live is Castro. My friend kept asking me to visit Castro and I didn't understand what was so special about that place. What do you mean by gay area? Is there gay stuff everywhere? What is gay stuff anyway?I sat the Muni, which is like at Malaysian version of LRT and it went straight to Castro. Once I went down from the train, this was what I saw..It was all over the train station. Everywhere!!! My goodness. Talk about gay pride.You wont ever see this kind of advertisements anywhere else in the city. Only in Castro.I was really shocked to see it. Hehe.. Not that I'm against gay people.

Rich neighbour
2008-01-21 14:44:00 When I was still living in Malaysia, my mum was super friendly with my right side neighbour. I donīt know how she manage to make friends with her though because their doors were always close and no one ever hang out outside the house. We thought this was a super cold family in the beginning but after my mum got to know her, we became quite friendly to each other. There was one day when we actually went into her house and look around. Boy was her house pretty. I absolutely loved her tiles. She had this wooden tile which was so smooth and glossy that it made the entire house look so elegant yet comfy at the same time. Though they told us that it was super expensive to buy it.I wish I could have it in my house next time.http://www.text-link-ads.com/xml_blo gger.php?inventory_key=074S6E16OYNQXLZR0F KM More About: Rich

Staying fit
2008-01-20 22:36:00 The best part about being on the swim team even though I have to wake up at 6am three times a week is that I dont have to worry about gaining weight even though I am in the country where 80 percent of the people are overweight and the meal portion is almost as big as me. Unfortunately, the swimming season is almost over and I have another 4 more months before I go back to Malaysia. Though I am all fit right now, I dont think I can stay this way until I go back to Malaysia.Argh. Oh dear.. what am I going to do. People are so gonna have in their minds that Princess Shin has indeed gain weight but no one is gonna tell it to my face.Argh.. I hate that.

Nice warm baths
2008-01-20 22:25:00 Being in the US, you just donīt realized how different the weather can get between Malaysia and US. For the past 6 months, the only time that I have ever sweat is when I am busy vacuming my room. That is the only time. Most of the time, Iīm always cool or cold. Never ever hot. Now that it is winter, it is even worst! I have to wear thicker clothig when I go out. And because the weather in California especially Orange County isnīt THAT cold, it is quite embrassing when you layer yourself when other just walk out with a thin sweater.That why I love my hots baths. One of the perks of being in my university is that all the bathrooms comes with a tub. And though I know it is super terrible to bath in hot tubs because it uses so much water, I do indulge myself once in a blue moon.And it is heavenly!http://www.text-link-ads.com/xml _blogger.php?inventory_key=074S6E16OYNQXL ZR0FKM More About: Nice

My little brother, aka, the pest, the monkey, the boy whose my motherīs son is turning 15 today!!!Boy.. do I feel old.I have always had a bad relationship with my brother. Maybe its because of the wide age difference between us but somehow we just donīt really get along.I think we were much closer when he was around 2 and I, 8. That was when he would bite me around my arms, or pull my hair. At least we still had physical contact or some communication. Even though it was to scream at each other. But after I went to high school, we just stopped talking. He would place himself in front of the computer all day long and would only come down for dinner. Sometimes if he had his way, he would eat in front of the computer or not go out with us for dinner.I always thought it was his fault that we had such a terrible relationship.

Staying Fit!
2008-01-14 04:23:00 Everytime somebody comes back from overseas, the first thing that you will think about it whether the person has put on weight. I have always worried about this especially since Iīm going to US and we all know what the Americans eat! Big fatty hamburgers and steak that come in super large portions. And the worst part is you donīt feel that youīre growing fat when everyone else is bigger size than you.So since I started swimming myself, I didnīt really worry about getting fat because I swim like an hour 3 times a week. But now that the swimming season is almost done, and I donīt think iīll be able to motivate myself to go swimming without my coaches constant scolding, I think Iīll finally face the nightmare of all freshman! The Freshman Fifteen!!! Where all new freshman adds 15 pounds in their first year in the university!

2008-01-08 05:50:00 I don't know about you.. but the more I grow older, the more I feel that though I am going to experience different chapters in my life, there is a part of me that tells me that I'm no more my parents little girl anymore. I am no more the helpless girl that always waits for my parents to save me. Though I want to stay my parents' baby forever, I can't anymore because I can't deny that my parents are aging and soon I will have to be the one to take care of them.This though kinda scares me sometimes because the very thought of being alone in this world is unbearable. Though I'm not saying that my parents are old but soon, I will be the one that needs to take over the decision making and the taking care of the family. I'm not saying I don't want to do it but it is just scary being the one that has to make all this decisions. From being looked after by your parents to looking after your parents.

I miss my bed..
2008-01-08 05:03:00 Ever since coming back to my university after spending 3 full weeks in San Francisco, I have realized how comfortable I was in my friend's home. Her family treated me so good and I felt totally at home there. The bed that I slept in was a queen size bed (even my friend herself slept on a single bed) and it had two thick comforters as blankets! It was super warm inside! Even though the house was always cold because they rarely on the heater, the bed was always super comfy and whenever you wake up in the morning, you wouldn't want to come out of the covers because it would be freezing. I didn't know how soft the bed was until I came back and slept on my own bed. It was like foam mattress!I never ever complained about my dorm's bed because I have a comforter on it and it is comparably soft. But after sleeping for 3 weeks in super soft bed, my bed now feels like rock!Argh.. I don't want to feel unappreciative of my accommodation but I miss my host family's home! Boohoo.. They trea...

The craziness of playing golf!
2007-12-30 10:51:00 I don't understand what this craziness about golf is. It seems that only the rich and famous play it. My father had to force himself to learn how to play golf because his bosses started to ask him to play with them and though he didn't like the sport at all, he had to bring himself to the driving range every weekend to improve his skills!Golf equipments are not cheap I tell you. But you really have to find those high quality ones to ensure a good game. Ogio has very good bags for golf, travel, and more.
