Past and Present Collide with 'Dear Diary 1.0'
2009-07-15 08:16:00 Design graduate Marlies Romberg merges the past with the tools of today in 'Dear DIary 1.0', an old-fashioned writing desk that has an embedded computer and keyboard within it.
Clarity
2009-05-31 02:56:00 The shoutbox keeps on getting spam. Should I turn off the linking? Or maybe remove it completely?Well, being home recently had it ups and downs. The ups? It was fun. The downs? The weather and the sleep which I need to catch up on before I get back to work on Tuesday. The days sure pass by quickly. It's like we've just barely stepped onto the island (yep, I made a trip back to ye olde hometown) and we already have to leave.A former classmate keeps on trying to chat with me since I've added her to my friends list. The thing is, she seems hell bent on asking me where I'm working. I think it was about 5 times that she brought it into our conversation but as she was hell bent on finding out, I just didn't feel like divulging the information to her. Why? I don't know. Maybe I was bothered by the way she kept trying to go about it.Been thinking lately that there are some places that you can't go back to, no matter how much you miss it or want to belong. And either way, my mind has ...

Plans, Books & Twitter
2009-05-08 05:49:00 Tomorrow's another public holiday. Hurrah! And thanks to that, a couple of pals are coming over tonight for a scare-a-thon. Probably to scare the bejabbers out of each other. Haha! Well, being the scaredy cat that I am (and being home alone at that), I'm not so keen on it, but hey, it's better than watching them alone.I'm still thinking over my Harvest Festival weekend plans. I just don't feel like taking the bus and ferry, making the long travel on my own. That said, when again will I get the chance to have a good four or five days back home? A plan of some sort which involves bringing a group of friends over did come to mind, but the last two or three previous occasions that I suggested it was met with less than enthusiastic reactions. Besides that, everyone already seem to have plans of their own.Oh yeah, I've finally finished reading Twilight, and I'm more than halfway through New Moon. (Couldn't find the final two books that day, so I couldn't complete the set) Anyway....
Over & Done
2009-04-17 08:55:00 Viewed the final two episodes of Goong last weekend. I actually found Chaegyung to be too whiny (which got on my nerves) at the last few episodes, so it was a relief when she and Shin finally got together (even though they saved it till the very end). Sadly, it resulted in Yul turning into a wimpy guy, looking sad and frustrated whenever seeing them together.Shin & ChaegyungIt's actually a disappointment to me that they weren't true to the manga that it was based on. There were a number or prominent characters missing, like Yul's fiancee (whoa!), a perverted old man seeming obsessed with Yul (haha!), and a few interesting plot lines, like Hyorin and Chaegyung's brother apparently hitting it off! Yikes! But I only heard about the last part, so I can't verify if it's true, as I have only skimmed through a few scanlations of the manga so far.Shin, Chaegyung, Yul, and HyorinI am aware that they were planning to make a sequel, but a few complications arose which led to it being...
Drama Queen
2009-04-07 08:13:00 Been suffering from lack of sleep these past few days. The reason being? I finally got started on a certain Korean drama which I had always heard about, but never really had the interest to watch, due to many other distractions. Heh. And what happened on the day I finally started? I couldn't stop watching. It was only at 3am that I dragged myself to bed (albeit reluctantly & regretfully)... Haha! So which show am I referring to? It's... Goong @ Princess Hours! But it hasn't been an easy watching experience. I actually have two DVD's (one is from the Philippines and the other was bought locally), BUT... Both of the subtitles included are lousy. You rarely get a straight sentence and there are occasions where there's just a tiny dot instead of a translation. Many a time I had to try and guess what was going on, and the topic of their conversations.So fed up (and desperate) am I of it that I resorted to looking around for other DVD copies which might have better subs (a comple...
Waiting For The Weekend
2009-03-31 05:33:00 Lately, I've been feeling insecure when it comes to my blog. I don't really have or make the time for it, I have nothing interesting to say, I can't design my own layouts or buttons cause they never seem good enough for me to use, and there are tons of other bloggers out there on the world wide web who are undeniably better. But I do have three non-related to the blog things to be grateful for, the first one being that my Dad has agreed to let me use his debit card. Alright! As to the question why in the world would I need it in the first place... Well, I'm going to sign up for a trial account with an anime hosting site. It'll be for one month just to see how things go, and if it works well, heck, you bet I'll consider a one year account. It doesn't even matter that I'll be charged in Euros. ^.^ I've tried out their free files, and so far, so good. I'm itching to get started on creating that account, but I'm worried of the so-called "April Fool" Cornflicker virus so I'm ...

A Little Pick Me Up
2009-03-24 09:20:00 Felt super low today. It was to the point that I wouldn't have minded lashing out at anyone and everyone. On the other hand, I also felt like burying myself in a hole. So go figure. The summary is, I wasn't someone who you would want to be around today (as if any other day would be different... Hehe). Well, late in the evening, I kinda remembered this certain site which I've always wanted to visit but kept on forgetting.Nothing like some laughter to lift up broken spirits, huh?Wanna see more cheezburger kitties? Meow!
Restless
2009-03-20 06:12:00 Remember the RM200 voucher I was compensated with for being delayed by Air Asia? Well, I still have not made use of it as yet. The thing is, that voucher is only valid for three months from the date of issue, so time is catching up on me. Would have loved to use it for a trip with friends, but all those I contacted could not confirm a date. Can't blame them really, cause they're all out of the country, so it's hard to get a date where everyone can make it. *Sigh* Not to mention the fact that I lucked out on the cheap zero fare seats which I would have been able to cover not only my ticket, but theirs too using only that voucher. Shocked? Yeah, it was THAT cheap, but oh well...Which brings us to now, where I am lost as to whether I should use it to fly off somewhere on my own (visit Lionel in KL, maybe?) or cajole my father into a family trip and that amount would cover my share. Honestly speaking, the one thing I want is to extend the use by date, so I wouldn't have to make my c...
Back In Business
2009-03-18 08:29:00 These past few days (unfortunately, tomorrow will be the last) have been blissfully peaceful in the office due to the absence of one of the staff. I must say, it's been great to be free of gossip and the backstabbing chatter, however brief the period is.Oh yeah, just in case it's completely bypassed your attention, I've also taken the chance to make some modifications to the blog. You like? Hehe... Well, hopefully, it won't fall into negligence again. Blogging is one of the favorite pastimes which I've had to cut down on ever since I've started working, and consequently, dearly missed.I hereby declare my will to try and keep the blog going, no matter how, well, crazy things go. With "try" being the operative word, of course. ^.^ Thanks for the continued support, y'all!
Do Our Choices Affect Fate?
2009-03-17 07:59:00 Which is harder, walking away or staying around, hoping that one day it'll all get better? When you're walking away it's not just from the people/things/issues involved, but you might be closing a door which may never be opened again.
Ureshii
2009-03-16 07:05:00 I find it ironic that the day right after I blogged about my new found addiction to Pet Society, my boss decides to block the majority of social networking sites (or at least, the known popular ones) in the office. So it's farewell to writing on walls or notes, or even Facebook chat for that matter.I've been coping with it just fine, in fact, I've turned my attention to other activities. One good thing that's turned out of it is... After months of toiling, I finally know how to convert an .mkv file to .avi. Woo hoo! (Yes, I am that much of an idiot) It was only last week that I grasped the concept of mkv being a container, and the need to extract out its contents in order to successfully convert the file. The results? Well, you're looking at an extremely smug and happy lady... Haha!If you're wondering why I would even consider converting an mkv to avi in the first place... (Yes, I am aware that the latter is superior)... The reason being is that these days, quite a lot of fans...
Heated Up
2009-03-06 08:15:00 Some people take a sadistic delight in other people's mistakes.Could you be anymore obvious about it?And since I'm not gonna say it openly...[Insert suitable expletive here] !!![Edit/] Sorry for the outburst, but I was pissed and needed somewhere to unload.
Society Rules
2009-02-23 06:42:00 Since last week, there's only one thing I'm looking forward to whenever I log into Facebook.Yes, it's Pet Society!!! I don't know why in the world it took me so long to finally get into the game, but since I've started I can't get off it. So what's the game about? Well, the title itself should give you some sort of clue. Basically, you create your own pet (almost everything is customizable, from the eyebrows to the color) and then navigate your way through the "society" comprised of all your friends who have also joined in the fun. You have to raise your pet's levels and "moolah" (as in coins), while keeping it happy, healthy & clean. Sounds familiar, huh? (The Sims, anyone?)My pet Sasuke (yep, kinda lame, I know) is currently slowly but surely, trying to climb up the social ladder. Unfortunately, it's still poor. *Sigh* The house is still in a sad, sad state and highly lacking in all the important amenities. In short, I'm having problems raking in the coins cause I'm bad...
Ramblings
2009-02-09 05:49:00 I get depressed every time I see my widgets disappear after a layout change.It's like, "So I've got to do it all over again, have I?" In this case, I had to change it cause the images from the previous layout went MIA due to exceeded bandwidth.In other news... Today happens to be the last day of Chinese New Year. It's not a public holiday, but at least it has granted me the opportunity to get off from work early. Yay! And if you're wondering... Since I have no immediate family members within the vicinity, my plans for tonight do not differ from my norm: they consist of a solitary dinner and a good DVD. ^.^The family; taken during our CNY trip to Genting HighlandsWhich brings me to realize... I haven't posted up any of my brother's wedding photos, have I? Anyway... Happy Chap Goh Mei!
Dear Diary - II
2009-01-24 19:36:00 The ways of fortune are fickle. One of my dearest and oldest friends has made his mark in Bollywood. I am so happy for him. For someone who couldn't afford school books, his story is amazing though not uncommon. Our friendship is special to me because he and I are so different we are like two different species. Yet we are thick friends. I wish I could get to see more of him. I often joke that he is my Halley's comet.Babugiri. Is what the University of Mumbai does. It's also the reason why I got my Diploma in Spanish last week 9 months after writing the exam for it. The results of the exam were held back because a major slip in the paperwork invalidated the course. M.U is mired in babudom, buried a few feet deep in bureaucracy, wrapped in cocoons of red tape. For the first few months all I got was assurances that things would be put right. Frustrated and not wanting to run from pillar to post, I shot off an email to the Vice Chancellor. I also approached the press. The VC took no...

Now Everyone Can Get Delayed By Air Asia
2009-01-24 02:46:00 Yay! My flight has been delayed... For more than two hours, in fact! My departure time is now the actual time I was initially scheduled to arrive. My parents (who are flying from Labuan) were even contemplating on leaving me to fend on my own, to either stay overnight in KL or pay the really expensive cab fare up to Genting. Isn't that fun?Gosh, it's no wonder that I'm not in the mood to travel.I'm ashamed to admit that the thought of cancelling out and spending CNY on my own did cross my mind. Honestly, I feel like saying "bugger it all" and curl up in my nice, comfortable bed and sleep. I've been feeling tired and irritable lately. Getting up in the morning for work seemed like a chore and one of my colleagues really got on my nerves this week.So here I am, wasting my 2 hours and some 30 minutes browsing the internet and logging into Facebook. Which costs me RM5 an hour, by the way. And since I mistakenly paid for three hours (tried to rectify it, but it couldn't be done), s...
Dear Diary - I
2009-01-23 20:21:00 Netagiri. That's what Mom calls it. Since a couple of months I have been unofficially involved with a relatively new political party, the rank and file of which is largely young and dynamic. What a refreshing change they are from the decrepit old men and women who run our country!I was wary of getting acquainted with them initially. The party is known for being intolerant and brute-force wielding. (In the party headquarters I overheard someone jokingly ask on the phone, "What jail are you in now?".)My brush with them makes me feel there is more to them than just nuisance value. There is a method to their madness. Their violence and vandalism, apparently spontaneous, are mostly calculated. Their use of brute force perhaps the only way to get results when time is short and resources few. Nobody takes notice unless you do something newsworthy like, say, burn a couple of buses. But to be civilised there must be at least two. That is, the other should appreciate that you don't burn bus...

Tegomass... I Like!
2009-01-15 05:08:00 So far, I've only heard two of their songs thanks to Neo Angelique Abyss and Lovely Complex, but what the heck, they're great! A quick search on Youtube yielded some of their music videos (which was the first time I've put a face to the voices), and I must say... Tegoshi is cute!
Truth Hurts
2009-01-12 09:15:00 Kahlil Gibran once wrote: "Your reason and your passion are your rudder and sails of your seafaring soul. If either be broken, you could but toss and drift or else be held at a standstill amid seas. For reason, running alone, is a force confining. And passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction."
A Is For Anime
2009-01-09 08:08:00 Ever since Crunchyroll went *beep*, I've been floundering around searching for another source to get my anime fix. I've come up with various options, but none really worth taking up. Either the download speed is too slow to bother with, or you encounter too many problems while downloading, or even worse, it's using Megaupload (which is a complete pain, really).Below is my current obsession, I stumbled upon it at one of the many sites.It's SA which stands for Special A!Apparently it's been around for awhile... Which ensures that the whole series has ended (even more the better!). My current progress is, I'm still downloading episode 15, while I've already watched the first ten episodes. The story basically focuses on the lives and loves of the seven main characters, who are the best students in their school (good enough to have their own lounge and kitchen!).The spotlight is mostly on Hikari Hanazono & Kei Takishima. Kei likes Hikari, but she's too dense to realize it, in fac...
What In The World???
2009-01-02 02:42:00 I was pretty excited to hear that the family pet, Zeus, would have a fellow friend once more. My dad told me that Desmond was successful in finding a newborn female puppy (I forgot the type of breed).Well... I called home last night just to find out how things were going...Let's just say things didn't go too well.The moment the puppy (it was only 2 months old) was brought home and placed on the floor, Zeus attacked her. Needless to say, my Dad and brother were shocked. The puppy ended up staying in the house for 2 days (which included several tries to get Zeus to be nice)... Zeus just didn't want to be friends and keeps on attacking her (or tried to) whenever she was within reach.Eventually, it was decided that they couldn't keep her.Sigh... What else is there to say? Zeus no baka!!!
'No underwear' party for real?
2008-12-31 04:04:00 The following article below is hilarious, yet scary in terms of how it show how morals in Malaysia has fallen. In fact, it was only just night that we (me, Lionel, Roy, Roy's sis) saw two couples making out pretty passionately somewhere around the pool area of Sutera Harbour. Eww... But seriously, I think the authorities are in denial. I did post up something about an invitation only party that was held in KK one or two years back that had rooms specially for "woo hoo" (no explanation needed) activities. Surely that was not the first and the last party with that sort of "theme". Anyway... Give the article a look.KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - - Malaysian authorities have condemned rumoured plans for a New Year's Eve sex party at a remote beach, while police warned the "no-underwear" event could be a con job.Newspaper reports said the party for the under-40s, to be held in southern Johor state bordering Singapore, was being advertised through a website that asked for 250 ringgit (72 dollars)...
Caught In the Act
2008-12-22 08:10:00 Sigh... Do I need to elaborate? I think not.Basically this just further goes to show further why Vanessa Hudgens (and boyfriend Zac Efron) are not really good role models. Honestly speaking, I've never really liked Vanessa (though I do like one or two of her songs). I don't think Vanessa will ever head down the road to destruction like Britney once did, I believe she's smarter than that... But she's definitely not as innocent as her image makes her out to be.Oh, and if you're still wondering what I'm harping about, take a close look at the photos... They're in a adult shop. Bet they didn't expect that fan (the lady in the photos with them) to post up them up on the net, did they?
I [Heart] December
2008-12-03 05:44:00 December already? Ah, crap.But I'd be in denial if I said I'm not excited. ^.^Why? Let me count thee ways...One. Two big, no wait, HUGE events are coming up. Two. It'll be the first time in years that I'll be spending Christmas with the family, and it's the absolute first with some of my relatives from Penang who will be coming over. Not to mention that it'll be the first time that the relatives come to KK, so I wanna make it really special. *Winks*Three. I get to do what I love: plan out the excursions, the family Christmas dinner, book the accomodation, work out the logistics... You get the picture.Four. I'll be taking several day's off from work. Yipee!Five. Someone's coming back for the hols. It's supposed to be a secret, but the cat's out of the bag. *Hehe*Six. There's plenty of excuses to play dress up (something which I hardly do).Seven. It's Christmas!!! Who needs another excuse to be happy???
I See Zero
2008-11-12 08:54:00 Malaysia's low cost carrier Air Asia is now offering the lowest possible rate ever... A return fare from Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Lumpur is now only RM57. Another note worthy item is that the return fare from Kota Kinabalu to Clark (Manila) is around RM70. That's crazy! Of course, deals as such are never that easy... For example, although you are able to purchase your tickets starting today until the 16th of November, the travel dates only begin on 22 June 2009... So you'd have to wait more than half a year before you can finally fly to your preferred destination.Another thing I've noticed is that Air Asia is becoming somewhat like Malaysia Airlines in terms that they don't offer zero fares when it's near a public holiday. X_X What a pity. Anyway... Of course there's a point in me blogging about this... It's kind of like a big hint to someone. *Hint hint* *Prods* When is it our turn???? ^.^
Musings
2008-10-20 10:35:00 Just counting down the days till December...Not that I have much to look forward to, except the 5 day break that I'll be taking.Life's pretty exhausting these days.You know the saying that "Bad things come in 3's?". Well, that would sum up my previous week.Sometimes I wish I could just pick up some remote control (does this sound too much like Click?)and press the pause button.Despite the hectic planning and stuff that should be in motion for the upcoming nuptials, strangely I find myself uninvolved.Probably because I'm away from where all the action is?Some part of me is glad that I'll be back just in time for the event.Yet... Being disconnected has it's cons... It's taking awhile for reality to sink in and the implications of what's to happen.It's like, I'd be sitting around and suddenly the realisation that some things will never be the same again will kick in.I'm freaking out at the thought of that.Maybe I'm just scared of change.I've been thinking... How does one g...
Wake Up Time
2008-08-23 06:14:00 It is said that every human being is responsible for his/her own actions. So why is it that I can't stop these feelings of regret or thoughts of "what if"? Would I have actually been able to change anything if I had done this or that?It's such a sad state of affairs when a choice is made, and the outcome of that affects your whole future. I'm not saying that it's the end of your life as you know it, gone, kaput, finito, but let's face it, it changes a lot of things, doesn't it? Certain dreams, aspirations, can no longer be realised. What's done is done, therefore... All that I can come up with is this: to pray that those people will face up to their responsibilities, for them to have wisdom in the decisions that need to be made, and more importantly, for them to not forget God. Let not one mistake be replaced with another.
Family Affair
2008-06-28 05:27:00 As if my life wasn't already in upheaval, yesterday I was surprised with the news of something which I had been dreading for about two years. Well... Can't do a thing about it, it's out of my hands. In any case, for the next six months, looks like things are about to get pretty hectic and maybe even crazy, at times. What irks me the most, is the fact that the one person with the power to stop all the proceedings is just gonna stand there and watch it happen. Sigh. I know that things don't always go the way we want them to in life, but I just have this feeling in my bones that this won't end up well. This one decision will impact so many circumstances, several lives as well. I just wish that more thought was given into it.
Walking Away

Lost
2008-06-06 04:13:00 It's been said that the saddest thing a man will ever face is what might have been ? But what of the man who's faced with what was? Or what may never be? Or what can no longer be? Choosing the right path is never easy. It's a decision we make with only our hearts to guide us. But sometimes we find our way to something better. Sometimes we fight through the regret and remorse of our mistakes, our malice and our jealously and the shame we feel for not being the people we were meant to be. - Dan, One Tree Hill
Still Searching
2008-06-05 10:29:00 There was just so much to say... And yet, now that I'm actually here... Why is it so hard to speak of what I must?Consumed by doubt and reservations, I had a revelation... Maybe it's not the solution after all?So... What's it gonna be now? Where do I go from here?
Hajimari No Kaze
2008-06-01 10:52:00 And now... Introducing to you... My latest obsession!According to Wikipedia, this anime falls under the genre of : fantasy, drama, romance, comedy & historical setting. The story is basically about a young woman who dreams to become an government officer (which was forbidden to women in those times). It develops with the hardships and equally colorful (not to mention good looking!) characters she meets in her journey to accomplish her ambitions.Ko Shurei. The main protagonist, who is sixteen years old when the story begins. She's pretty likeable, although I did find her a bit annoying with her high-handed ways for some episodes in the 2nd season (yes, there is one!). Not to mention the fact that she has yet to show any preference towards any of the other male characters (who mostly are chasing after her). Realizing her dream is her number one priority in life, she is hell bent on doing so, and is willing to forgo love for it to come true.Guess that's the main reason why I'm so ho...

Dear Diary (Part 2/2)
2008-04-18 09:00:00 So, what are the benefits of keeping a diary online as opposed to in the privacy of your apartment or home? One might suggest that part of the appeal stems from the fact that so many people spend a good portion of time on the Internet anyway. After all, who wants to leave their computer, walk ...
Dear Diary (Part 1/2)
2008-04-16 09:00:00 Keeping a diary or a journal used to be something that you did in private. You’d get a little notebook and a pen and wait until no one was around so that you could write down your innermost thoughts. Then you’d take your diary and shove it back under the matress where no one else ...

Drop Dead Furious
2008-04-03 10:10:00 You know something? I just tried picking up the money at RHB, but they were offline. The security guard recommended me to go to either BSN, CIMB or the post office. Since it was raining and BSN was the nearest, it was the obvious choice. When I went there, my number was 252. The current no. that was being attended to was 242. While I was waiting and the number just reached 250, people from the company that was in charge of those number monitors came to service it. They took quite a while and some newer customers just went up to the counters. I was rather impatient by then.So after a few minutes, the servicing people left. Next thing I know, the monitor beeps "001" (it had to be reset after the servicing). So you can imagine my thoughts then, which were like, "what the hell!". I decided to go up when the number hits "002" because it was my right. However, the actual owner of "002" went ahead. To my consternation, the person behind the counter just went ahead and helped her.In between...
What I've Been Up To
2008-04-02 04:25:00 It's already been six months since I've started work. Unbelievable, eh? The days have been going slowly for me, for the past few months my life has been alternating between work and making use of my free time by watching DVD's at home. My social life is non-existent, but it's something that I'm quite content with (I hardly have the time to hang out). So to my mates who are far away, make sure you come back next hols so I have something to look forward to! ^.^I must admit, there are times where I miss the old carefree days. I miss having my "personal time" and not having to worry about deadlines, making mistakes, or hostile customers. However, I need to support myself, and I don't think being a "bum" is considered to be a career. Heh. Not to mention the fact that I owe it to my parents.Recently, I've been diagonised with an infection (the exact term will not be revealed, ask me personally if you're that curious). And before anyone's imagination runs away, it's NOT the worst...
Dear Diary - An Afternoon In The Life Of Miss Lilly
2008-03-14 12:23:00 12:00pm to 4:00pmI woke up from my nap and had some juice that mummy brought up. I had my nappy changed. While Amy was getting changed, I swaggered around in my jeans with pink stitching on. I don?t really mind what jeans I wear to be honest but as Amy made a big thing about it this morning I may as well play on it a bit.We went down stairs for dinner. I sat in my chair. I hoped that we would have cake today. Mummy?s cakes are the best but I will attempt to eat at least something else as well to keep mummy happy. I usually sit on food to make it look as if I have eaten it. Once, I sat on a whole half a crumpet and mummy was so happy that I had eaten it (snigger). She found it though and then I had to eat flat crumpet.As usual Amy wanted to swap bibs. ?swap, swap?, that?s all that comes out of here mouth some days. For an easy life I usually swap with her but she isn?t getting my purple magna doodle, no way. We had cake and yoghurt for desert. I couldn?t get to the last bit with my s...
Dear Diary ? A Morning In The Life Of Miss Amy
2008-03-12 10:45:00 6:30 to 10:45 amI almost couldn?t find my dummy this morning but I found it under my arm. Phew! I cried for a couple of minutes just to let mummy and daddy know that it was quite an emotional few seconds there.I talked to myself for a while going through all of the words I know. I used the word pink a lot this morning, as I do every day. I like pink. I wonder if I will get to wear a pink top today. I hope so. I'm sure mummy will come to my way of thinking in the end. I have purple slippers. I must tell daddy that when he sees me. I told him a few times yesterday but I like to remind him.Mummy came in with the milk and once I finished it, she let me out so I could run to see daddy. Lilly got up as well. I wanted to see daddy before Lilly, I did, he said hello and gave me a hug. He was in the study on the computer. He?s on there a lot. We ran around screaming and laughing for a while then mummy put us on the bed while she got dressed. Her top was purple. I have purple slippers, I tol...
This Is So Not What I Counted On
2008-02-21 02:35:00 Noooooooooo!*Gasp**Scream*Those- are the sounds of protest uttered by me upon receiving the duty schedule for the Malaysia Airlines Travel Fair [MATF]. It's a 3 days promo, and a booth is required to be opened at the Magellan Sutera Hotel, eventhough it is possible to buy the tickets from any travel agency office.Here's my gruelling [or shall I say tedious?] schedule starting tomorrow. 22 Feb - 0900 to 1300 hrs23 Feb - 1000 to 1600 hrs24 Feb - 1600 to 2200 hrsCrap! I have to work on a Sunday? To top it all off, I have to get the apartment prepared for the pending arrival of the new housemate and her mother next weekend. T_T I need a holiday!!!
Time Sure Flies By
2008-02-16 05:40:00 It's February 16th! Yikes! Why is time moving so fast??? But I guess it's a good thing, cause it can only mean that December is not that far away... *Haha!* Yeah, my life's gotten super quiet again now that CNY's over and the fact that Girlie has returned to Melbourne. But the 1st of March will definitely bring changes when the new housemate moves in. Sigh. I hope things turn out well.Since the last time I've blogged... I've had a hair cut (it had it coming), finally took a trip out of KK after being unable to travel (or not having the opportunity to do so for over a year T_T), reconnected with an old pal of Lionel's after 18 years (thanks to Facebook), met up with Girlie's colleague from Australia, celebrated CNY with relatives from my father's side of the family, saw the latest addition to the family (a cousin's son, who's only 4 months old), an impromptu island trip (which left me tanned, damn it). I'm dreading next weekend because Malaysia Airlines will be having a f...
The End?
2008-01-31 04:09:00 Vic & Barbie, during one of Vic's album releasesBarbie Hsu, 31, and Vic Zhou, 26, gained wide popularity through the 2001 hit television drama "Meteor Garden", which is based on the popular Japanese anime & manga, "Hana Yori Dango". They collaborated in another series, "Mars", in 2004, and officially began dating in July 2005.Word is that they've broken up earlier this month, despite previous rumours of a possible engagement & marriage. There are already tons of speculation on the cause of the split.
This Is So Wrong
2008-01-24 02:42:00 They found love, moved in together, got pregnant, and recently were married. Yes, in that order. So goes the courtship between model & Channel [V] VJ Sarah Tan & former Disney Channel host Soo Kui Jien, who's since moved on to hosting and a few acting stints.The twosome tied the knot last year, on the 21st of December, in Bali, Indonesia. They had been dating for over two years. And yes, Sarah was already around four and a half months pregnant at the time. Which obviously brings up the question: was it a shotgun wedding? Jeez, you think?Jien denied it, saying that he knew she was "the one" within 7 months of dating her. He also added that it was a "natural progression" for them. Sarah commented that "A shotgun wedding is when two people get married because they have to, but we want to (get married)." Only after two and a half years of dating? ...Right.Sarah explained that her unexpected pregnancy put the subject of marriage on the table and was the "deciding factor" that nudged the...
Heath Ledger, Dead?
2008-01-23 02:11:00 I couldn't believe my eyes when I first opened Yahoo! this morning and that was the very first headline I saw. I thought it was a joke. He was only 28, for crying out loud!With Michelle Williams, in happier timesHis death is suspected to be due to drug overdose. Which makes me wonder, what made him turn to drugs? I mean, he's a father to a beautiful baby girl, although granted, he's not together with Michelle (former fiancee and mother of the child) anymore. Where's his sense of responsibility? In any case... May he rest in peace.
Hello 2008
2008-01-04 03:52:00 Happy New Year, everyone! I celebrated by watching DVD's at home. Which means... Yep, I didn't go to the watch night service for the first time in five years. [But then, I heard I didn't miss anything anyway] Plus, surprisingly, the youth didn't have the usual after watch night hang out at Wisma KFC. Apparently, it's not gonna happen anymore.Been taking a trip down memory lane recently. Song wise, that is. I've been hunting down all the one hit wonders, teeny boppers and boyband that were around during my high school days. It's been kinda fun, actually. But there are some which I dearly miss, but unfortunately are nearly impossible to find.I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can make it to Penang during Chinese New Year next month. My parents already have their tickets, so if I don't get to go, that means I'll be on my own for the first time in my life on CNY! x_x Hopefully, I'll be able to muster the courage to ask my boss soon.
Another Bites The Dust
2007-12-19 03:11:00 I don't know if I should be suprised or find the whole thing just typical of the Spears family, that it runs in the blood. It's kinda disappointing, cause I really thought that she was different from the rest of her dysfunctional family. Morever, apparently the 16 year old has been living together with her 19 year old beau for quite some time. What the heck?? What was Mrs. Spears thinking to even allow such an arrangement to happen??? Oh well. Shall we anticipate yet another marriage, divorce, and custody battle?"I definitely don't think it's something you should do; it's better to wait," she says. "But I can't be judgmental because it's a position I put myself in." - Jamie Lynn Spear's opinion on pre-marital sex AFTER her pregnancy.Want the scoop?
