Nice arrangement

i've watched this video from a shared link in facebook, which i can't stop liking it ! it's from the song love story by taylor swift and viva la vida by coldplay arranged in one piece. i like the way cello is brought into the song, the way piano plays it and the way both of them blend in and make the song sounds so good, nice nice nice ~!
that's why must share it here, enjoy~

Surprise Farewell Party for Esther

My very goodie goodie good friend cum sister in Christ cum partner in singing, sakai-ing, shopping, plus so many other things was leaving the country to UK for her study on the Friday before last week...... sob, sob...... (Esther, if you're reading this, i miss you leh....)
Back to the story, so, we were planning to have this surprise farewell party for her around a month ago, which she was hoping for a party but finally gave up the hope thinking we were not gona do it anyway. We pakat-ed with her mum, Auntie Elisa to make her into giving up hope too, hehe =P and also to bring her out of the house, giving us the time to prepare and decorate the house.
So, on the day itself, she was out with the parents to Kuantan for the lekor there (which was such a lame reason to get her out, right Esther ? haha), and we went to her house around 2pm, prepare some food, balloons, the banner and the gift book/farewell gift. All was done and we got the news that they will be back around 7sumthing. Uncle John came around 6pm (i think) and we were so excited bout the whole thing, we ended up with so many trial rounds of suprising her when she came in the house, we planned to turn off all the lights in the living hall, leaving the kitchen lights on with all her other siblings and cousins cooking and making dinner there. At the back of our minds, i think we were trying our best and thinking of ways how to scare her from the dark and surprise her, hahaha!
3 of us - mel, cherrie and me, who was always with cameras, placed our cameras at different angles and put on video mode in order to capture the suprise moment in the dark, hehe, for mine i have placed it facing the sliding door which Esther came in from outside and ofcuz with all her surprised look and actions, haha! =P
uploaded here with subtitles for better picture of the whole scene, do turn on your speakers and listen to all the funny stuff we said during that intense moment and excitement! Enjoy!

Russell from UP

Have you seen the movie UP? I have, and it was a nice movie I would say =)

It was about this boy who grew up not chasing after the dreams he had while he was young, then finally going after it when he is now an old old man, and bumped into this talkative young boy Russell just right before flying off to his dream.

And I had a this friend, Jun Meng, who looks like Russell ^_^

Eye Twitch

The corner of my right eye have been pumping/beating abnormally for few days already, and there's nothing that i can do about it besides wondering what chinese always say, it maybe some good/bad events gona happen. Didnt believe it, and i have been ignoring it for few days till tuesday, it's getting worse, so i went online to search if there's any tips or cure for this, below is what i've found (which i have taken only the key points).

What Is Eye Twitch?

Eye twitches are commonly known as Blepharospasm, which is defined as the repetitive and rhythmic contraction of the eyelid muscles. It is the twitching or continuous movement of muscle fiber groups.

Knowing what is the reason behind it is my main reason of searching online as it may help me to avoid the next round of annoying twitch.

Why Does My Eye Twitch?

Eye twitches can be triggered by a variety of different factors. Some of the conditions that cause eye twitches are environmental, some are physiological, and some are psychological in nature. Below is a list of some of the more common causes of eye twitch:

• Fatigue or lack of sleep
• Over consumption of caffeine
• Physical or emotional stress
• Anxiety or phobias
• Brain damage or other neurological disorders
• Associated with temper tantrums (especially in children)
• Eye stress associated with extended viewing of the computer screen
• Epilepsy

I may have lack of sleep, no caffeine, yes stress, computer screen yes, and BRAIN DAMAGE?? this maybe the one big reason to it, hahaha!

Heck, i need a life

When will I ever have my own life?
Do whatever I wanted?
Be whoever I wanted?
Live a life that i dream of?

I know it is now, i know that we have to chase after our dreams, i know, i know, i know, if it's not now, when then? I know, i know, I KNOW !

but i feel so tied down, so many commitments, so many things that i cant just be "don't care la".....

well, atleast i have all that i have now, but im not gona give up dreaming, im not gona just let it be as it is, im not gona just sit and wait for things to happen, im gona go after it, im gona aim for it and im gona get it ! (ofcuz in a right way)

Updates of July & August

super lots of things happened and im just too lazy to sit down n update my blog, eventho i have always told myself, "yea man, this is a nice blog topic!" then, reached home, slumber into short term memory state... =P

In july, i have started working as a half permanent in my company, getting more n more work to do, moved to new office, having my own nice brown L-shaped table (which was used by the boss previously, hehe~) and having the air-cond blowing at me straight the whole day, which is why im having flu & cough now (dinosaur voice). Last event of the month of july, my house kena broke in. Nothing much was taken, but i lost my ang pau money from my aunt for my graduation, n a few watches from my parents, the funny thing is, my laptop is still laying silently safe on my table, wide exposed, haha!

In august, i have just had my convocation few days ago, which was also the opening ceremony of my new office, had to missed it lo...

Convocation was ok, many people, pictures taking, receiving gifts from juniors and family, all the pictures were uploaded to facebook by my MUM !! geng leh, my mum does facebook also k =) So, go check it out ya! (by the way, i've just added one of my secondary school math teacher, Pn.Yap, on facebook!!)

latest news, which happened yesterday, i have gotten my new camera, a graduation gift from parents, Canon PowerShot SX 110 IS. It does not have a very attractive outlook, but it's manual function attracted me, cuz i wanted to practice on using & playing around with some manual functions like shutter and aperture. Just to share, here's a picture taken by James (not me instead, paiseh..=P) while playing around with it right after we reached home with the camera.

Cheers~!

Feeling from songs

i've just listened to 'Tear drops on my guitar' by Taylor Swift, i know it's quite an outdated song, i think it's the song that popularize Taylor Swift, but i've really gota say i like it alot, not because its lyrics sings out the i-have-the-same-experience-before kinda thing, but it's the way she put her feelings into words and the music along with the lyrics brings out the feelings at the same time when she sings it, while i listen to this song, i can feel how she felt when she first wrote the song (i think..), i wonder if i can even speak to ppl in a way that they can feel how i feel...

anyway, besides 'Tear drops on my guitar', some other songs were very country feel type, hehe, she was known as the new country pop queen, agree~!

There was another country-like song 'My Worst Fear' by Rascal Flatts, i was attracted it becuz i had a suprise listening to it from beginning to the end, the lyrics i mean, and the story he was singing, it was quite sad if u listen to it properly n feel it, but anyway, the same thing, was impressed =)

Music and songs, i believe, is one of the best ways to express feelings, agree with me? =)

Internship finishing~

as i have blogged before of my 1st encounter with internship, now, after almost 3 months, it's ending =)
i wouldn't say im feeling happy bout it, cuz it was quite a good experience tho, hehe, getting to know more ppl and different ppl, seeing how the oil & gas industry works and experiencing many many other things, starting to feel like a working person adi, hehe, i can kinda predict i'll soon be a workaholic.....
anyway, due to my excellent performance (i hope so, hehe =P), my company is offering me to work as a contract trainee engineer, for 6 months, im stil 'thinking' bout it, which most probably is a yes, hehe!
lets just see what's coming up next in this road that is guided by the precious Light~!

Coffee=Miserable Nite

yea yea patrick, here's my latest update which i coincidentally have one...
i went to Bumbubali for dinner last nite with some old frens and a few more new frens, ate chicken, lamb, squid and pasta. And so smartly i ordered an iced mocha for drink, when i am a coffee-is-so-not-my-choice type of person.... and there goes my nightmare...

reached home around 11pm, lepak around awhile, getting ready to sleep around 12, cuz tmr got work, all done and im on my bed with big wide eyes staring up at my fan whenever i hear any slight little sound... rolled many rounds on my bed, caused so much friction and heat on my bed and i ended up getting up from my bed, turned on my laptop, started playing games til 1am.

tried to get back to sleep again after that, for the whole nite, i dun remember realy getting into deep sleep, awake, doze off, awake, doze off..... till my alarm rang, 7am, gota get up for work....

goodness, was it even a sleep...? anyway, i've made up my mind, never to touch coffee again, whether if it's daytime or at night, phew!

A Thought about Handphones

Everytime i see someone having their pretty designed handphones covered in plastic covers which were said to protect the surface of the handphones from scratches or dirt, i feel ridiculed.

It's like buying a whole new car with nice and shiny paint, which you have spent time choosing the colour and design that you like, and then you wrap all over it with red-pasar-malam plastic bags, just so to protect the car from scratches... and you drive it around just like that....

If so, why buy such nice and pretty car since u like it to look ugly infront of people...? Might as well get an old junk with good engine...

Just a thought, no offence =)

Internship started

today is the 3rd day of my internship, and i have done a simple testing on a relay and started an excel document today, the end.

i practically do internet surfing, chair sitting, reading manual of a big system and goin tru a thick book with notes that i have roughly came across in my 2nd year....
dats all lo till now, haih....

well, i guess this is the usual thing for internship, just hope that i'll have more things to do and more things to learn la

Broga Hill

On one of the days of project-tensioning period, someone from our uni gang (i think is eric) suggested to climb the broga hill, every1 was ok wit the idea and there we went~!

we all stayed over nite at one of our frens' hse, becuz especially for me n my roommate, our hostel open gate only at 6am, thats y, packing stuff n sleeping over outside.
it was crazy to stay over at their hse, we were playing games n shouting out of excitement til late at night, as i remember, it was a game with the names of the 'pau's.... hah! i was kaya pau (i think)...

play play, talk talk til 1am..

go sleep....

wake up at 3am.... *_*......

started journey at 4am, patrick was bit blur, just abit... my job in the car was to keep saying : " semenyih, go straight! "

reach there, it was dark, and the road was very hard to walk on, needed torch light to shine the way.... it was a challenging journey to walk all the way up to the top of the hill, becuz it was dark, but not totally dark, becuz dat nite the moon was very bright..... the road was abit steep, making it hard to go fast and needed bit more energy.... we were sweating all over when we reach the top

some of us who reached the top earlier was resting on a big rock started taking pics, waiting for the sunrise...

took many pics, here are some of them


after the climb, we went back to the hse, starting fatigue, taking pictures AGAIN~~


i really enjoyed the trip, nice view, good exercise, fun frens, and painful muscles, hehe ~!

Uni life & frens

Final exam is nearing, and that means this sem is finishing real soon, which also means I am gona grad soon ! thinkin of it, i used to look forward to it very much, the thought of getting out of uni and studies, makes me jump for joy~ =)

but on the other hand, I starting to miss the people that I’ve come to close with, hang out a lot with, getting crazy with, people who almost have the same wavelength as I have, ma frens in uni =)
As I went tru the pics that I took tru out this 3 years, I decided to blog something bout us, hehe~

If any of u guys who are in the pics and reading this, i realy enjoy the time we had together and am realy glad to have u all ~~ ^_^ ~~!

Frens out there, enjoy all the time u have wit ur frens, and cheers to life~!

Interesting Food

i have been eating all around serdang for the pass week... mamak, western, sushi, kopitiam,canteen,.... it was fun, hehe, checking out new stuff and places with frens, even during this period of thesis-rushing week, i stil have frens to go out makan til late night, interesting huh?

well den, like wat i always say, no mather how busy u are, u stil have to eat ~ ;-)

on tuesday, i went to this mamak, which is quite popular among the UPM students, that explain why everytime i go, i see the same gang of guys (cousin-course mates) sitting there makaning.

The interesting thing bout this mamak is the creativity they put into making the food. i guess they specializes in roti, judging on the roti-s they have, from roti 2006 way up to roti 2009, having different ingredient wrap inside the roti, making it almost the size of a kamus dewan. not to mention the all time favourite (not for me tho) roti diana, roti michael jackson, roti titanic, roti india, roti tiga rasa, roti entah apa la..... it's all listed in the A4 size-menu, top to bottom, all roti-s.... i think they are all in the font of 12, so u can imagine how many they have in one whole page....

i had a roti i love you dat day, hehe, dis is it:

nice huh ? the word i love you was written using mayonise

check dis out if u wana "romantize" ur date in a cheap way ~

cheers to food~!

My Cactus

i have this little pot of cactus which i place it beside me on my study table, in order that it may somehow suck away the radiation from my laptop (hearing from ppl and believing it's true). i bought it on a fund raising sunday in church.

when it was still young, it started out like a normal looking, roundish head cactus, which i find it small and cute, as the days go by, i was expecting it to grow into a larger round headed cactus, not varying so much from its original look....

BUT...... LOOK how it has transformed itself......

i still don't understand how it has grown into this funny shape and where the idea came from, hah!

anyway, i kinda like it dis way tho, it's cute and funny, and will continue to feed it with more radiation everyday, haha ~_~

lets see look tall it'll go and i shall post up the latest transformation in the future...

Guitar

i played the guitar this morning in the worship, with plug-in amp...
i haven't been playing the guitar for quite some time now, finger tips are getting softer, becuz it gets harden the more i play naturally, guess it's the way our body protects us from physical harm...
after the worship, my finger tips were super pain, all red-den.. i can imagine it spraying out blood, although it's abit too happy-three-friends adi....
well, i had to continue play and press on the string hard enough so dat the sound coming out will not sound bad, so, there it goes, down the drain with my fingers...
i think after this, i shall practise more often, to avoid another, not that i have not set this goal before..... =P

Talking bout guitar, eventho i am myself not a very gud player, just at the basic level, it has crossed my mind many times that one day, when i can afford it myself, i shall get a nice acoustic guitar, with sound dat i can indulge in when played, with size that i'm comfortable with (knowing that most of them look big on me.... -_-...), with strap which is short enough for me, with neck and fret which are the right size for my fingers and again with sound dat i will enjoy~~~~

I'M GONNA GET U, GUITAR !

Interns, CNY, tests and Interns....

it has been long since i last posted a blog, biggest reason is becuz have been busy looking for internship, went back taiping for cny, test coming soon dis whole week and inefficiency of ppl robbing my sweet dreams during the nite....

as i said in the previous post, i just couldnt get any internship for quite some time, but now, nyek nyek nyek, i finally found a few and went for an interview last 2 weeks, was unreasonable nervous during the interview, i can even hear my own voice shaking, so wat i did was to talk slower so to cover the shake, haha =P i thnk i can get it tho, not bcuz i was gud in answering the question bombarded to me bout dis equipment which i know nothing of it, but i think is due to the cheap allowance that they will be paying me per month as a trainee... well, i dun mind actually, cuz the place is near my house, and i'll be staying home tru out the 3 months of training, so, lesser output of money, hehe, besides, they will have to pay me full after the training, hehe, provided that they take me la at the end.....

the interviewer said would give me an answer whether i'l be taken or not within a week, so some1 from the company did called me up on friday, which is few days before cny, to reconfirm with me and said im taken and offer letter would be sent....

BUTTTTTTTT.... till now i havnt get anything yet, i have been checking my mailbox like every few hours, it's driving me crazy soon!! i have to confirm everything by next week with my uni....goodnesss...... some say it mayb becuz of cny holiday, company usually close for quite some time...haih....
and yet i dun wana sound desperate and annoying, so i only called the company once yesterday to remind them.....
SOMEBODY HELP ME !!!!!

Next is CNY holidays, i had one week hols, as usual, we went back to my dad's hometown, taiping, on the saturday, abit jam, bt din matter much.....
went to church in taiping on the sunday, Taiping Wesley, suprisingly met pearlie and family, and her mum remembers me too, ~happy~~ and met kay jin and sister too =)
the church was located next to a mosque and an indian temple i think, the whole area around the church was very oldy, we saw the 1st jail in malaysia, some old school with british style names, was imagining those olden times, wonder how it would be if i can travel tru time and see it for myself....

well, CNY was quite boring for me every year, fixed routine, back to hometown, watch tv til late nite, get jumped up by loud firecraker's noise, sleep till enough, wake up get ang pau, eat, watch tv again, sleep, eat, sleep, eat, sleep, eat.......etc....
but this time round, abit different, we went to penang to visit relatives, cuz my dad wanted to check out his site in penang... so, was fun tho, hehe, get to meet my uncle and family which we havnt seen for ages, my little cousins are so big now, 'tua han liao!' =S and my cousin's children, so fun to play them and with them, haha~
then back to mum's hometown, in sepang, many cousins over there, but we have all grown up, seldom see each other, so, kinda not so close adi tho... but we did had good fun playing cards and pakating together to make fun of another little gal of my cousin, all i can say is that her EQ is very high, hah

as for now, im back in uni, gota study for test tmr and on fri and on sat..... T_T

New Year

another year, new sem too, just started my new sem, but i realy realy am looking forward to graduate by the middle of this year, cant wait.... u know y ? hmm....i guess most of u know y...
another major brain eater that im having is what am i gona do after grad ? eagerly looking for an internship now, but nobody want, im still wondering whether is that something wrong with my resume, or my email title is not attractive enuf that ppl just pass tru it as a spam and deleted it (oh no!!!), or its just the economy down turn issue or just pure face problem, heh
anyway, praying hard that i will get something that i'll enjoy and like doing it as a job, may it be something in the field that i study or not =)
besides internship, i kinda realised that my memory has improved abit tho nowadays, haha, mayb becuz i talk lesser =P
