and now for tweety bird

i couldn't have imagined myself joining twitter in any way odder than this. so here's what you get from a blend of the SPSS-filled research methods lecture with a BB in hand! data plan of RM2.50 per day, i really thought i was doing good making worth out of every single cent paid. but ah well, it's not as if the owner isn't already making it worth the price paid. i know, you know, practically everyone in BAF knows about the BB boy.

BIGGEST mistake was when i started to find it more and more interesting *especially when i wasn't even tweeting with my name* i felt so freeee i could say the strangest thing ever (like..to eat up everyone in the audi just cause my best buddy was feeling hungry xD) and still, nobody would have a clue (okay, not really -_-).

everything was very much fun... until suddenly i didn't even know how i was seeing my own face in a twitter page! LOL. totally proves the point that when you're really determined to get something done, nothing is impossible. with the password mingming1234 (not anymore!), i am now boarding the tweet-tweet train. to top up the auspiciousness, a deal was made with su ann to tweet together v^^v

though my tweet count is still nothing, i somehow personally find myself feeling more at ease to express whatever is inside of me in the tweetland when compared to facebook. prolly because it feels more like a secluded sanctuary, less exposed in a way.

woots to twitter bridging bonds of people from the past and present xD i've always heard of them, saw them in facebook but never once met them in person. definitely didn't expect myself to be tweeting away with them.

i now have this strong urge to drag huei-wen into twitter but it's such a sinful thing to indulge in. shall let her decide! :) and ohhhhh tse wei is finally back! counting down to the number of days left till pei ying and alina fly home :) :) and so many moreeee, it's like the rightest time to have reunions. summerrrrrr! :D


so how's life...?
ASSIGNMENTS! 

despite how much i dislike replying people with that one freaking big word, that's what i'd been saying for the past i-dunno-how-many-weeks. assignments are fine alone actually, the unmet goals are killing me softly. it makes me question my own ability and capability and whatever core competencies??? *a lil strategy overdosed!* promises made, promises not fulfilled evolved into empty-promises. i myself hate that! people hate it too i know.


time to review my strategic intent! heh, don't worry i'm still sane :)

How much have we changed?

all the outings to meet up with them secondary mates lining up, i can't believe how we're all so busy now that we're left with hardly any quality time for each other. and i actually can't even recall when i last had a proper heart-to-heart chat with some of them. i'm sooo glad huei-wen dropped by the other day, just because now the free time we have for each other is as precious as gold as precious as the theses in the library where only Acca students who're taking OBU get to loan them! pfft! but yes, seriously, we now have our own little big dreams we wanna achieve...and to even bring ourselves closer to that very end, we've got to make sure we do. well. now.

everyone's so freaking stressed up chasing dreams. at least i am, and i know huei-wen is too. but we can do this alright *how many times have we been telling ourselves this x)* sometimes, maybe it's not even much of a choice, we're already in it, what more can we do? we just gotta get it done. nicely.

then in Uni when i see some of my friends looking real tensed, i feel tensed also. tense moment much! there are times my mind wander off.. i kinda enjoy reminiscing the stuff we used to do together, feel passionate about, laugh at together, the things we have in common. but now this feeling that all those are gonna fade away, one day, is slowly creeping in and it's actually...quite a scary thought. not that i'm not happy with whatever's going on now, i just miss those old times. yeap, exactly those two words, "old times". they make me wanna smile :)

maybe it's the simplicity back then, maybe it's the different me back then, maybe..it's just maybe.

-this is not an emo post!

from 69 to 5 ;)

questionnaires are almost done!

5 more left hehe. it was interesting to see how people reacted differently to that sheet of paper.

there was this girl who was studying but i still tried asking her, and she gave me the O_O eyes while shaking her hands vigorously. understandable though, acca's one scary exam (well, at least that's what the acca people make me believe).

then there were some who seemed reluctant but would still do it for you.

and the best has got to be those who happily take it from you and willingly do it, they motivate me in a way. some of them looked so happy, and some seemed like they really wanna do it, too bad they're not business students. some told me they were not business students, in my heart i secretly think they're lying to me *shouldn't be thinking so i know! they ARE engineering students la face the fact* then there was this girl who took it sooo seriously as if she was sitting for a test, she even walked to and fro to ask her friends about the questions. thank these people so muchhh!

and i feel so blessed to have friends who are from other groups yet offer to help us with giving out questionnaires.

after this whole questionnaire thing, i now have a bigger heart to help with others' questionnaires. it's really not easy peasy! more stressssss to come with the statistics and report.......


for everything that is done, there is always a reason behind it. i'm really learning to not be grumpy over what's done, why not think of what can be done to make things better instead? :)

just saw something wayyyyyy to coincidental! o_o haha sometimes when it gets so coincidental, it keeps me wondering if it's trying to convey a hidden message hmm...

69 more to go, woohoo

research methods is really worrying. being the only subject that requires no exams, i thought it would be really cool. but the questionnaires, the spss, the report..the presentation... aint that easy after all.

and i'm so tempted by all the holiday plans, for once everyone has got the same free time. which is really something that only happens once in a blue moon especially now because everyone is all over the world. omgosh la why am i the only one who's still stuck with exams in July :(


today's been another pretty good day. *but it only applies when i'm not thinking about assignments* when i free my mind from assignments i feel like the most carefree person ever, i can be the lamest person swinging my sister's hand away and she's the best cause she never hates me for that. and we just realised something, the age gap between my brother and me is so big, we fancy different stuff, it's like we're from different generations Lol. but he can be more childish than us when he wants to. so, yeah :D

oh, we witnessed a scary scene at Tesco today! when my parents were paying at the cashier, we saw this malay lady who's really obese at the cashier beside ours. and all she did was to sit and order her maid o.o she bought like three whole trolley worth of stuff and she just sat there and did nothing other than pointing and ordering her maid. yea tesco's following the self-service system so the maid had to pack everythinggg into three trolleys. then she continued to sit there, her maid had to walk over to her, take the credit card from her and pass it to the cashier. when the bill's out, her maid had to bring it to her so she could sign. o.o and then we don't know what happened after that.....such a tough maid.


if you go to the curve often, you'll know about this grand piano they have in the middle of the mall, and they have really pro people to play on it..today when we walked pass, this guy was playing '你不知道的事' by lee hom..too epic! he played it with so much emotion

of 'the sunniers' aka 'funniers' aka 'sinniers' aka 'winniers'...

haha and no we're not that creative with names, other than 'the sunniers', the rest were all by our beloved mr. tan. each time he comes across our team name he sees it as a different thing. he's just so funny la though it wasn't most comforting when we spoke to him. what's with "usually being the first group isn't a good thing..." well, before we actually lucky draw to be the first team, we were all against being first too! like nooo it's gonna be so scary to be up first. 

with hui yii's magic fingers, we actually really got number ONE! theee moment was so unbelievable..seriously, it felt as if the whole world stopped spinning for a second when we saw the "1" on our paper. guess it's all fated! and so the only choice we're left with was to embrace the fact that we'll be the first team to present. i think we did pretty well on that bit.

other than that, this whole thing is so amazing. not because we've an advantage being the only team with experience whatsoever, it's those little surprises along the way that made it amazing. how we motivated each other into everything, how we didn't mind each others' comments...i really like the way we remained optimistic  the entire time. who knew candy and hui yii were a natural pair when it comes to calculating figures for the financial statement.. and candy who came back with a packet of woods' peppermint lozenges for me cause she heard me coughing...celine who never fails to keep us feeling all hyped up...hui yii who makes everything feels very comfortable and she's really cute:)



afterall, i realised the cash prize didn't leave as big an impact on me in comparison to this very special feeling that kept me smiling for the day. it's just...magical :)

point #1: never ever assume that your audience have the slightest clue of what you're about to present. and point #2: sometimes it's just really how much you yourself believe in what you're saying that determines how much others are convinced by what you've said.

other half of the day was well spent with 'chair' and mummy at pyramid. finally tried chatime! i know right, after so long, it's worth trying though..love the milk tea one. but the queue was really crazy and i felt as if i was making passport all over again, with the numbers running. had dinner at pasta zanmai and it was scary how the couple sitting next to our table didn't speak a single word throughout their dinner o.O while the other couple next to their table was talking soo much, such a contrast. had a haircut. not fun walking into the metal shutter of a shop, how could i be so blind xD



"So hold on to me tight, hold on, i promise it'll be alright
'cause we are stronger here together than we could ever be alone
just hold on to me, don't you ever let me go
hold on to me, it's gonna be alright, hold on to me tonight

They always say we were the lucky ones"


niceee song! :p

there are things which are perfect just the way they are



just the other day when i was 'disturbing' Ador in the garden i saw this very round droplet of water on one of the flower petals and wanted to take a picture of it. but the sad thing is it wasn't exactly at a perfect spot for taking picture so i tried to gather some water at my finger tip hoping that i could let it drip and form a similar water droplet. to my disappointment, none of them would turn out as round as as nice as the one i saw. 

so i gave up and just took a picture of the original one.


there are people around me who are like the droplet of water, perfect just the way they are. and i cannot appreciate more how they have helped and tolerated my sometimes sucky behaviour.

these are words i don't tell them straight in their faces but i really really mean it.

just feeling very appreciative all of a sudden. when i'm actually halfway through company law assignment -.-




okay,bye scribbles,back to assignment!:)
