Light!!! Ah..
2007-12-26 11:16:00
Oh dear.. I realized that my eyesight is getting from bad to worst. After almost 12 years of wearing spectacles, my power is still increasing!!! Ah.. this is so terrible. By the time I turned 40, my spectacles will be as thick as a piece of bread! Gardenia bread! Ah...People in US just love dim lights. I don't know about you but my house back in Malaysia was always super bright! My mum hated dim lights. She always say she wasn't a romantic person and hated it when we when to hotels where the lights are always dim. The room is my dorm has only one ceiling light and it is super dim. I was finding a hard time looking for the perfect lamp so for the longest time, I had to strain my eyes in doing my homework and research. I think that is the reason why my power is increasing now. Oh dear.. I am worried but there's nothing I can do now. I know there is laser and stuff but I'm still not ready to have my eyes bombarded by a ray of laser. I have no idea why Americans like their houses to...

Hotel Reservations
2007-12-26 11:06:00
Ever since coming to the States, I have started to really use the internet for buying random things. I always thought that the internet cannot be trusted and that if you start using the internet to buy things, one day some guy will use your credit card number and steal all your money. I still think this way actually but the internet is too convenient for me to be bothered by this anymore. I recently just bought my air ticket back to O.C online too. I don't have a air ticket in my hand now, the only thing that I have is my number.Doing Hotel Reserva tions through the internet is also more convenient too. Gone are the days of having to go through those non-cooperative staff and waiting on the phone listening to the boring elevator music while they check if they have any available rooms. Now you just need to key in the days that you are going and voila.. you're ready to go. What's best is that most online sites have great offers available.Have fun booking your holidays!http://www.tex...

Sorry for not blogging about this earlier! I have been so occupied lately. No.. correct that, I have been kinda lazy lately. There is so many things for me to say but I can't find the mood to sit down and slowly type everything.Who ever said that blogging is easy?Anyway, I have been staying in SF for the past 1 week and I'm loving every minute of it. Apart from wishing that I have Cody beside me or feeling lonely seeing everybody busy doing holiday shopping, I feel kinda high with all the shops around SF. I haven seen the Golden Gate Bridge yet so don't ask me how is that. But I have certainly seen a lot of shops around here! I can go crazy just spending money here! It is so scary I tell u.Orange County is a boring place. Everything is so short! The buildings I mean. Everything in SF is all tall! You feel so small standing amidst all the gigantic buildings. Though it was kinda weird having an asian gal standing in the middle of the street holding the camera taking pictures of the...

I need more memory space!
2007-12-23 08:49:00
Ah.. this is the first time that I have finally know the feeling of really owning a computer of my own. Ever since I was a little girl, I had to share the computer with my whole family and even though the computer was supposedly my family's, my younger brother had a big say in what went in and out of the computer. The computer's memory was always nearly full with all my brother's games and shows. I loved downloading (shh..) shows too but I always had to be careful because too much of it would slow down the computer.Now that I have my own computer, I found out that it is not as easy to maintain the computer as I thought it was. My laptop's memory is slowly feeling up by the day with all my photos and movies! I am so afraid that one day it will just crash and my precious stuff will all be gone! I know I should save them into a CD but I'm just so lazy. Oh dear..! And there is another alternative of getting a hard drive to put in all my stuff but..What do you think?http://www.text-...

Growing old
2007-12-23 08:30:00
What do you think about growing old? Everywhere u see, especially in the US, you get advertisements that broadcast the importance of being beautiful. There are hundreds of products out there that claims to help you be more beautiful, as if you are not beautiful in your own way. There are also plenty of advertisements that claimed that you can eat whatever that you want and still lose weight at the same time.Where did the loving yourself no matter what motto went? What about growing old? Is one supposed to have plastic surgery for the rest of one's life and be like Michael Jackson? Let's face it, growing old is a natural and definite process. Your metabolism WILL go slow and your organs WILL slowly fail you. Its whether you make the best of it or not. That's why there are products like the stair lift to help you make the best of it, especially when you're having a hard time going to your own bedroom.Growing old is not so bad after all right?http://www.text-link-ads.com/xml_bl ogge...

I miss my family..
2007-12-19 08:50:00
I havent missed my family in a while. I miss them but not painfully that kind. I always hear my mum's friends telling her that when their daughters went overseas to study, they would call back home the first few weeks and cry on the phone telling their mums that they miss home.I have never done that. I dunno why. Maybe I have been really busy with my college stuff or that I'm stronger or something, but I have never called home crying. The only time that I was close to doing that was somewhere in August, when California had the forest fire and the haze around town reminded me of Malaysia, but my mum never called so I didnt cried in the phone.Until now..Maybe its because I'm living with my Chinese friend and seeing her in the restaurant meeting her parents for the first time after 4 months away from home and seeing her with her grandfather, uncles and aunties made me think of my own family too...Maybe its because her family speaks Cantonese and after being in a English speaking env...

Are insurance really that important?
2007-12-13 04:28:00
Hmm.. I dunno about you but I always thought that this insurance thing was kinda weird. I always thought that insurance was just another 'easier' way for people to earn more money. I mean, paying a company every single month just so that 'if' something happens, you will be able to get some financial help? I mean, what are the chance for something bad to happen? And everywhere you go, there seems to be millions of people selling insurance, especially something like term life insurance!But, that was what I thought when I was younger. Now that I'm kinda 'older' now, I do understand the logic behind it. Anything can happen and will happen. Take the California fire for instance, those families lost their homes in just one day! Though it may seem like a trouble to have to see your savings go down a little bit every month, it is definitely worth it when something bad does happen!Touch wood everyone!http://www.text-link-ads.com/xml _blogger.php?inventory_key=074S6E16OYNQXL ZR0FKM

Do you remember this?

For some reason, I just thought about the Commonwealth that was held in Malaysia almost 10 years ago. Oh my god.. was it that long? Time is passing so fast nowadays.Remember how big a deal it was?Remember how many t-shirts, magnets, there was in 'night markets' where the monkey was doing different stunts?Remember this song?THis is one of the limited Malay songs that I grew to love...I remember that was the first year I came to KL. I even went and watch the reheasal of the opening ceremony! It was totally amazing I tell you!!!

Argh.. I hate this!!!! I'm not going back this winter break and though I don't feel bad about it, I feel sad that I can't bring back some stuff from Malaysia!!! Argh.. due to my procrastination, I only started packing the night before I went to US and obviously I didn't get to bring a lot of stuff!!! How stupid was I!!! Considering the fact that my whole family went with me to US!!! I have unlimited access of baggage that I could bring!! But no... I was lazy and only started packing a few hours before my flight was due!!!Argh..!!!There are only 2 Malaysians in the whole campus! Me and another girl. However, the other girl is from Georgia so she wont be going back to Malaysia anytime soon! But, I found another girl that is going back to Malaysia this holiday and I was so happy that she offered to carry stuff for me back home. I bought a tons of things for both my family and Cody, but yesterday she just told me that her bag is full and she can't bring a lot of my stuff back home!...

Wanna buy a house?
2007-12-10 22:50:00
Houses in California are really different compared to houses in Malaysia. For some reason, I prefer our big and spacious houses in Malaysia where you have living room, dining room, wet and dry kitchen, maid's room, and laundry room all in just the ground floor. The houses in California are all short and stumpy!!! You can practically touch the roof! And for a girl as short as me, the houses must really be very short! But unfortunately, if I were to stay in US, I'll have to make do with the houses here! Though I heard that properties here are really expensive! I guess that's why people go to real estate agent to find the best deals!Wonder when I'll finally have my own home? =)http://www.text-link-ads.com/xml_blogge r.php?inventory_key=074S6E16OYNQXLZR0FKM

Is taking drugs normal?
2007-12-09 09:51:00
I know I come from an asian country and by watching and reading American books, you kinda get an idea how 'normal' it is for young kids to get hold of drugs but I didn't know that almost all kids here have tried or have seen their friends taking drugs before! Its so normal to for people to smoke pot or 'chase the dragon'! Its not something serious or terrible! Its like smoking for them! Its kinda scary thinking about it! Though I'm sure a lot of kids get out of that phrase eventually, but its still kinda scary thinking about it!On the other hand, if they don't get out of that phrase, it can be a total destruction to their future! If u know anyone like that, do get them into an addiction treatment! You can save their life!http://www.text-link-ads.com/xml_blo gger.php?inventory_key=074S6E16OYNQXLZR0F KM

Drinking in College

I don't know about Malaysian's university or college, but it is so normal for students to drink in dorms. Though the age limit to drink alcohol in United States is 21, there are always parties going on in dorms where students get together and drink. Is drinking really that fun? I understand if you wanna drink once in a while to release stress or to celebrate a special event, but every single day? Argh.. and I always hear students complaining about a hangover the morning after! Argh..

Father daughter Relationship
2007-12-05 07:56:00
What I love about my dad is how he always shares with me his stories about what is going on in his work. Even though we are far apart and we rarely talk lately because of the time difference and our busy schedule, every time we do chat thru skype, he always tends to relate the topic that we are talking about to the current problem that his company is facing at the moment. From his colleague's temperate personalities, to his hard-pleasing boss, I always love having him share his stories to him. Though sometimes I think he should go for corporate performance management courses. =)I'm so blessed to have a dad like him that actually strives to have a relationship with his children. I'm sure we have all heard about the stereotypical 'Chinese' dad who watches TV and read newspaper all day long and doesn't talk to the children at all. If he has anything to say to the children, it will always go through the mum. I do have friends who has fathers like that. I'm not saying those father...

What is in your room?
2007-12-05 07:07:00
Having my own room in campus is really the best thing I can ever hoped for! There are two kinds of room in campus. One is a double room where there are 2 beds and is shared by 2 students and the other one is a suite where there is another 2 smaller rooms in one big room sharing a common bathroom! Yup! Did I mention each room has their separate bathroom? The students here are spoiled rotten I tell you!Now that I have my own room, though we do have the normal furnitures like desk, bed frame and closet, I still feel the need to buy my own furnitures to decorate my room. I certainly went and checked out Bush furniture to see if there are any interesting good there!Don't you feel your room reflects your personality? Whether it is dark and gloomy, bright and pinky, messy, neat, it all tells people what kind of person you are.FYI, my room is pink, neat and bright! =)http://www.text-link-ads.com/xml_blogge r.php?inventory_key=074S6E16OYNQXLZR0FKM

Pens are Every Student's Lifeline!
2007-11-30 23:56:00
Even with the introduction of laptops and personal computers, you may be surprised how important pens can still be for a student. Ever since I was a high school student where for some reason, the teachers wanted us to started using pens, I always had a hard time finding the right pens to use. Most of the time, I will find a pen that I like in the shop, and after buying it and using it for not more than 1 week, the ink will dry up and I will be left with nothing but a useless pen! I hated that so much! I used to have like over 100 of pens in my drawer, thinking that one day it may work again. But for some reason.. it doesn't.There was a lot of other ways to try getting the ink out though. I remember one of them was to heat up the tip of the pen with a lighter. The objective was to get the ink out or something. I didn't really know the reason too but it kinda work.. for maybe a day or two, but after a while or so, it would dry up again. And if you don't do it carefully, you'll end...
