Of Facebook and My Finals

So...
Today, WE attended out very last class for the first semester.
We'll be sitting for our finals next week starting from Monday..
And tonight..
We are all not in the mood to revise for our finals for various reasons..
And one of them is the match that we'll be watching tonight,
(Well, most of us will be watching it)
Another, is that we do not have class starting from tomorrow onwards till Monday..
Since that few days are given to use to revise by ourselves at home..

Hmm..
Some of us will or might still be meeting each other for the next few days though,
Even if we don't meet up,
There's always Facebook!:)
That's the only reason why I find Facebook useful..
My classmates love posting up nonsense in their Facebook status..
And tagging each other on their walls..
It's always entertaining to read their comments..
Though I am not the one who bother reading other people's comments..
But there's something in my classmates...
That will attract your attention..
There are usually a lot of internal jokes that we usually share among each other..
The usual teasing and not forgetting the name calling..

I actually notice if there are anyone who went MIA,
Since for some reason,
The group/class will not be complete without a certain people to contribute to the chaos in the class..

My facebook is spammed with my classmates notification as you can see the pic below:


There are more than that..
Champion man my classmates!


Chee Boon aka Oppa plagarized my Facebook status!!!!
That Die Smelly Vege!!!
Oh yeah..
That's my nickname for him since..
He gave us all names..
Except for Carmen!*hint**hint*
Even Jyunnie got his very own nickname by me and Oppa..



There Sue Yen go..
Tagging us wishing us luck for our finals..
And Happy Holidays!?
Wth Sue Yen!! We are not done with the finals yet!
Plus I'll miss you guys during our sem break!=(

There's approximately 1 hrs and 45 mins before the match.
Right now..
I am allowing myself to take a chill pill..

Sorry about your day today...
Get recharged and thank you for being human!=)

The Parent Trap


I watched The Parent Trap for I don't know how many times again!!
I love that movie!!
Watched it when I was really young and I suddenly has this urge to watch it again.
Youtube is the awesomest site ever, besides Blogger and Twitter!
Oh man..
I've forgotten how good Lindsay Lohan is!
I practically love every movie that she's in..
Ignore the fact that she's a rather screwed up now..
But man, she's an amazing actress!
Not forgetting the part where she sings really well too!

Well it's way past 12am but I am still rather WIDE awake.
Not because I just had a cup of coffee,
I am still sticking to my coffee diet mind you.
In fact, I am so determined to stick on this diet..
That I managed to suppress my temptation to order a cup of mocha the other day when I went to this amazing vegetarian restaurant with Jade and her family after going for toy shopping with her..
That reminds me about the day I finally stepped into the toy store..
After ages of not being in a toy store
I havta strike that out since I over exaggerate the fact that I didn't step into a toy store for ages cause that's a lie..X)
Anyway, I've forgotten the feeling of looking at toys and drooling over them..
Instead of books..
Though I did of course drool over the Times bookstore when I fixed my sight on them..
Jade saw how my eyes glimmered as I squealed with joy at the sight of the bookstore.
Oh man, I can't believe I allowed myself to be that childish.

Anyway..
I am gonna help Jade with her Kindergarten later..
And I absolutely can't wait to help her to set up her new Kindergarten..

Ugh..I am sipping my cup of oat while I type this out..
And it tastes HORRENDOUS!
There's no more Milo left at home or there are but I don't know where is it..
Ugh.
The oat..
Yuck.
Tastes like puke..
Oh my..
But my hands are frigging cold and I'll turn into ice without a cup of hot water with me to hold on to..

So where am I?
Oh yesh..
The kindergarten.
I miss being with the kids,
And I can really do with a new experience..
I am not so sure about my job during the break,
But I'll update you guys about it later.

Oh boy.
I have exactly a week left for my finals..
And it feels as if I am on my break now!
HAHA!=s
My system hasn't detect the exam anxiety just yet.
So right now..
The butterflies are not there yet and the goosebumps are still non-existent.
It will only feel right..
If I start having exam anxiety soon.
Yeah, I am weird like that..
=X

So, my class starts a tad bit later tomorrow,
Which means, I get to sleep in.
Sleeping in on Mondays is a fantastic phenomenon and a great way to start the week with besides the fact of not having English on Monday do help to add into the goodness of a new week for a change.

England lost terribly to Germany..
And I am shoooooooo darn happy of the fact that Germany trashed England by the score of 4-1.
It's weird..
Cause whenever I watch the match..
The match will be a tie or it'll be no excitement in the match.
Which suck.
I think I jinx the matches when I watch them thats why!
HAR HAR!

But I am still gonna watch the finals=p

Have a good week ahead peeps!

Why Harry Potter is awesome



Oh man.
I feel like rereading the entire series of Harry Potter again.
JK Rowling is awesome!
Twilight has no hidden meaning behind them..
Except for the part when girls will wonder who will Bella ends up with..

Harry Potter series gives us the anticipation, the excitement, and the reason to wait and embrace things..
Twilight makes girls lust over some silly fictional vampire story..
Harry Potter comes to life when..
There's a castle built for visitors to visit it..
As for Twilight series..
It's nothing but a story that will never be real to all girls out there..
Unless someone prove themselves to be the living hot and uber sweet perfect boyfriend vampire that will do anything for their girlfriends=.=

Coffee diet


This week will be my 2nd week being on a coffee diet.
So far..
I managed to stick with the coffee free notion..
Another two weeks to go..
Then I'll be off from this sucky diet of mine!!!!=D

I have my coffee cravings..
But somehow, I managed to suppress them by replacing it with..
My cup of hot chocolate drink or Milo which doesn't taste as good as my cup of coffee.

I have no class next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday..
I can't wait for my finals since I wanna get over with it..
I am kinda excited with my plans for the break and I hope it'll be a feasible plan..
Kevin, welcome back to Malaysia!!!!!

Today marks the first year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death.
He left, but his music remains..

"We make mistakes, we lose people we love and that's just the way life works. Letting go isn't being weak or giving up, letting go is growing up."

Book Review



I just read this really interesting book based on a true story about what a psychiatrist did or faced when he had a client who is suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder(MPD) which is now labelled as Dissociative Identity Disorder(DID).

His patient/client, has 17 personality within her which took over her body to help her to endure the constant abuse that she faced since she was young.
She has symptoms of dissociative fugue, dissociative amnesia, and somatoform disorder which includes conversion disorder and there were no physical disorder that causes the pain(pain such as experiences extreme headaches, nausea, pregnancy hysteria, paralysis)
When she first visited the psychiatrist..
Her multiple personality disorder wasn't that obvious just yet..
The psychiatrist namely, Dr Baer put her under medication,
Gave her some pills(I guess it's the prozac that he gave her)..
Asked her to come back a few months later..
But the pills made her even more depressed...
However, at times, she'll attend her appointment as if she has no trace of depression disorders in her..

She was under therapy under Dr Baer for a total of 18 years..
He performed hypnosis to know more about her other personalities within her..

My thoughts..

Above is the summary of the story..
As for my views based on the story..
I must say..
He's the first book based on multiple personality that I've read..
And also the first book that I've read written by a psychiatrist,
I've read books written by psychologists..
But there's a different touch in books like that..
For one, I get to know how is the life of a psychiatrist,
Though I've spoken to one before when I was on my vacation in Melbourne,
Since he's my aunt's neighbour..
Their life are very normal(as in their social life and life after work)..
But what I really wanted to know is..
How is it like being a psychiatrist and meeting with clients like the Karen(she's the one with MPD in the novel)
It's rather stressful, working with patients..
Not forgetting is their life is placed in your hands..
Of course patients seek for help must also be willing to help themselves..
Since a psychologist or a psychiatrist is there to guide them through their healing process and to help them to ease the pain, besides giving them all the motivation they need.

Being able to dig for books like that...
Gives me a utter feeling of satisfaction..
=)

That book..
I give it a..
4 and a half stars rating out of five stars..

Read..
Two books by Cecelia Ahern..
The Gift, borrowed from Carmen,
And The Book of Tomorrow which is mine..
Both books are..
Not what I'll call it as a good read books..
It's an easily forgettable book..
The story plot are..
Predictable..
Sappily boring in some way..
Or maybe its just me..
Being sick of stories like those..
Even A Walk to Remember story line by Nicholas Sparks..
Doesn't leave any impact..
Since I've read My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult and I personally think..
The book left more impact in me compared to A Walk to Remember..
Watched the movie yesterday..
And it wasn't a movie that I'll watch again or book that I'll read again.

Ratings for those two books by Cecelia Ahern..
I'll give it a two and a half..
Though it's properly written..
Story line wise..
Not my cup of tea.

“The wonderful thing about books is that they allow us to enter imaginatively into someone else’s life. And when we do that, we learn to sympathize with other people. But the real surprise is that we also learn truths about ourselves, about our own lives, that somehow we hadn’t been able to see before.”
— Katherine Paterson

Indeed, I have my finals in a week time..
But that's not gonna stop me from reading..
It's stupid to stop reading for leisure just because I have exams..
=p

Decided to go back to journal writing..
Though I'd sworn not to write anymore journals..
But somehow, I have this urge to write again....
I still am figuring out how to dispose my old journals though..
Any suggestion??
=)

Ma's birthday and Daddy's Day!

It's my ma's birthday today..
Since its daddy's day too...
We did a double celebration..
Though it's not so much of a celebration but oh well..

I do not know how old is my mom now..
Just like my thought of my dad being 43 year old every year..
My mom is also somewhere around that age..X)
HAHA!:)

My mom's young alryte.
Aneeewayyy..
I had dim sum session with the grandparents this morning..
Didn't snap any photographs of those super yummy dim sum I had this morning though,
Since I left the camera at home..=s

This week have not been a good week for me.
My beloved phone is in the hospital due to some formatting problem.
Darn Nokia!
I trusted you!!!!
Sheesh!
It feels kinda weird not having my darling phone with me....
Whenever I wanna reach out for my phone to set a reminder for myself,
There's a different phone that I'll be reaching out to..
Which suck.
Cause I am not familiar with that phone..
Besides thinking that I screwed my mock Stats SPSS test..
God knows what got into me that day..

I am dreading to go back to campus tomorrow.
With the finals coming up in 2 weeks..
And I can't wait to get over this sem!=D
Research Method is freaking me out..
For some reason..
I've been waking up to some study design in my mind,
Or some statistical analysis to ponder about..
And almost everything that I came across..
I'll try to relate it to some theories that I've learnt in my Intro to Psych class.
I love my Intro to Psych class..
That's like the funnest class ever!
I love learning about different theories and trying to relate them to things around me..
It helps me to understand a few stuff better than usuall..
Besides helping me to be more conscious of my actions and my emotions..
Well, at least for now..
I know I have a ego with the size of an elephant.
And I know very well not to decide on something when I am mad or upset.
Since my superego told me not to do so..

I've also noticed how..
Swimming can take my mind off things..
Oh well..
I guess I gotta try to drag myself to the pool whenever I think I am at the brink of being irrational..X)

Meanwhile..
David..
Performed his new song and one of them is the video below:



"Said it doesn’t hurt, doesnt make you cry.
You can tell yourself, go ahead and lie
You know it’s not true
You’re not a very good liar"

Gawd, I love him!


I shall end this post..
By wishing my mom..
Happy Birthday ma..
And my pa..
Happy Father's Day!!!
<3

Happy Birthday, Weng Hoe

Friday, 18th June 2010..
We gave Weng Hoe a belated birthday surprise.
His birthday falls on the 17th,
But we decided to let him down on his birthday by celebrating it a day later..
And we didn't even wish him on his birthday..
Well Carmen, Sue Yen, Clarissa, Jyun and I managed to stick to the plan..
I felt bad about not wishing him on his birthday though..

Anyway,
We managed to lure him into joining us in Pyramid to "hang out".
Went over to Pizza Hut with the groupies..
While Aruna and Carmen went for cake hunting.
They both decided to buy cupcakes instead:)
And man! Those cupcakes are cute!
I here present you the boy who just turns 19th three days ago..
Weng Hoe aka Weng Weng..












Aruna aka Rooney..
Dang it! My camera belongs to the junk.
You know this lady here...;)
Since she appeared in most of my post..HAHA!X)
Sue Yen
Park Chee Boon the Korean dude wannabe..

He is Bradley's main victim since he's so targetable..
He has OCD but Weng Hoe is just being Weng Hoe and its always fun to pick on him at times..X)
I for instance love to use his height against him(though he's slightly taller than I am)
But it's okay, since he'll still get the chance to grow once he hits puberty(yeah, another inside joke with the groupies)
He's an ultimate ManU fan which suck cause his team sucks big time!=p
His favourite word is "GG" and he said it's the jargon that gamers used in DOTA..

My favourite moments when he's in the class is when..
He has that look plastered on his face when Chee Boon and Bradley are being gayish..
He belong to one of the badminton gang along with Sue Yen, Jyun, Aruna, Chee Boon and now Sean is in the badminton gang and I am about to join them, IF things don't get into the way next semester.

This post is specially dedicated to our lil Weng Weng..=p
Happy Belated Birthday mate!!!:)

Pull yourself together will you?

You bloody conceited selfish arsehole!
You don't even wanna try...
Everything must be about you you and YOU!
Whatever happens to the people around you!?
You said you care..
You utter those frigging worthless three words and you swore that you meant it.
And not you are gonna run away not fulfilling those promise!?

I am disappointed with you.
And to think that I should have a lil more faith in you..
I must be an idiot to believe that there's no boundaries in that ties we had.
I dread to speak to you and it frightens me whenever I have those dreads.
Cause I'll know that it's not you that I knew who is the one who's speaking.
I don't know you anymore.
Why can't you be a lil stronger?!
Why do you always havta blame it on somebody?
Grow up will you and stop being so self centered.

If that's the way you are seeking for the attention that you needed so much.
Well you got it but it wouldn't last.
Cause I am fucking sick of your drama.

England versus US

Finally met my bestie after months of not seeing her..
This time, I met my soul sister namely Elizabeth..
Since she tagged along..
We both love the same author..
We both don't believe in marriage..
We think it's not fair for women needing to get married when it's okay for men not to get married..
We also share the same view about our politicians..
She even speaks my language of politics!

This is my first time talking to Evon and Elizabeth in a proper settings..
Without any distractions,
If I didn't take that incident of my dog going nuts and bit Eli and I...

Eli and I had our lil incident with that dog of mine.
I got my face scarred and she got her hands bitten..
Both of us havta get jabbed and my muscles felt stiff after that..
It has been ages since I got myself jabbed so perhaps my muscles are not used to it..

Elizabeth has this tendency to apologize for EVERYTHING!
I might as well call her Sorry Elizabeth instead of Elizabeth Hendroff..XD
It was good being able to catch up with the girls properly,
I've heard a lot about them from my bestie but I didn't really get the chance to know them..
I knew Elizabeth back then since she was in the same Physics tuition as I am..
But, I don't really know her either..X)


Davy toyed around with my phone..
Since I told her that I got myself a new phone..
And it was my first time picking her up from her place,
Instead of my dad doing that job for me..

Davy commented feeling unsafe sitting in the car that I am driving..
But I told her that I am not allowed to drive like how I am usually on the road with passengers in the car..


I <3>
Sorry to freak you out..
I am not speaking to my dog now..=(


Yesterday..
I met my nephew at a bachelor night party..
He's gonna turn 2 years in September, but he looks like 4..
Since he is uber tall for a kid!
I am not surprised if in the next 3 years time,
He'll be taller than I am..>.<

He's the most cheerful kid ever!
And I don't know what is it with kids and my brother,
They all love him!!
Almost any kids will willingly sit on my bro's lap or allow him to carry them..

Watched Argentina vs Nigeria yesterday out of boredom at my aunt's place.
Decided to stay up at night to watch the US match against England..
To see England trashing US cause I am so very confident that England will win the match..
But to my mere disappointment, none of those team won!!!
Since I am not taking any sides for that match for I do not mind if US wins the match cause it'll be a rather interesting record in the World Cup or neither do I mind if England wins it since I am so damn confident that England will win the match hands down..
But ARRGHH!!!
I stayed up to watch for that frigging draw match!!!!
What a disappointment.
I was practically screaming at the tv for a replay when the US scored,
Since Green made a mistake..
Not realizing that the everyone at home is asleep and I should be more considerate..
Cause I thought nobody will hear me since I am alone upstairs watching the match,
No thanks to my lil brother who went to bed early and ditched me alone at night to watch it alone at home..
And this afternoon when I woke up my mom told me that I scare the daylight outta her..
When I was shouting upstairs at the tv=_____="
So much for thinking that they are all soundly asleep in their room to be able to hear me..

Why oh why..
Nobody wins yesterday!?!?
My brother even got the nerve to tell me that his friends thinks its the most interesting game ever!
Pfft!
No wonder I am cranky today..

Ego

This is shoooo adowable!


David's expression = priceless.

"Ego develops out of need to deal with reality, mostly conscious, rational and logical. Sometimes ego denies the id desires because the consequences would be unpleasant."

I guess I have a ginormous ego within me to be able to suppress all that.
Anyway, Jade told me that the government wanted to implement a new rule for the kids of 5 years old to be sent to primary school by the age of 5 years old.
Meh. Poor kids are gonna have their childhood destroyed.
Tsk tsk..
Seriously, if it's a 6 year old being sent to primary school a year earlier,
It should be fine..
Since kids of that age should be able to write and read properly already..
Well it'll be an exception for kids who have development problems..
Hmmm..
I don't think those people really take those things into account before coming out with a plan.
It's something like if an individual has a disability, it's too damn bad for them since they are born with that.

And that sort of mentality just bugs me a lot.
Please don't implement that whoever you are who came out with that idea.
