I'm home =)

I'm finally back to my hometown yesterday. The bus was 11.30am. But I left at 9am to catch a RapidKL U67 to KL central then take LRT to Pudu. I was wondering whether I left too early, worried that I would have to wonder around Pudu area with my heavy backpack if I reach there too early. Well, I reached there around 11am. Summore I didn't wait for RapidKL very long. I guess the bus was turning here and there to fetch passengers. That's where the time went.

But Transnational kept me waiting at Pudu for 45 minutes! I had my lunch at Pudu at 11am and went to the info counter to check my platform number at 11.20am. Everything was so well-planned. But, the bus was yet to reach. So I stood there waiting thinking it would come soon. 20 minutes passed by. The bus still not yet come. My back ached from the weight the backpack put on me but there's no space to sit near the info counter. Sien diao. Luckily later found a seat. I happily sat down and read newspaper while waiting for the status for the Kota Tinggi bus to change from "Belum Sampai Lagi" to "Boarding".

Finally the bus reached at 12.15pm. But I dunno why the bus reached KT at 6pm. That means it took me almost 6 hours to reach. Normally it just take 5 hours to reach le. My back pain from the restricted sitting posture coz I put my backpack on the floor, taking up the space for my leg. =( very cham ah.. That's why I hate to take bus back KT.

I might be going back KL on next Thursday. Not sure yet coz not yet buy bus ticket.

Step Up 2 was great!

It's out of my expectation coz I always think second one sure not nice one. But this movie is better than the first one! I might be biased la. Coz unlike the first one this second one is 95% hiphop, breaking and breakdance, the only slow dance was the Latin dance (I think?) at a home party. I really like to watch people doing hiphop and breaking. The breaking in this show was not the best I saw but the hiphop choreographed by the 410 (the black dancers) was incredible.

I wonder how people can sit still when watching this show. My head just can't help to nod with the tempo of the music. I tried very hard to stop my leg from tapping the ground. haha... Zhuang thought the same.

These are must watch scenes (can't find the 410 dance. I find them dance better than the musical school dancers. Too bad no clip for that)

Dancing street dance in the rain. Cool right? Plus, the effects are nice, with the water splashing here and there.

This the trailer. Got some 410 moves in there. Nice!


After watching this movie, me, SY and GP had the urge to learn hiphop again. Every time we watch hiphop dancing movie we will have this urge. lol. But I'm really broke la.. Otherwise I will certainly go give it a try despite the fact that I'm already 24 with no dancing experience at all and summore my bones are really hard. lol.

For those who know Chinese, you can visit my very sentimental blog with all my Chinese poems there here. hehe. Just wanna hear some comments whether my poems are ok. =P

I got a tag from LinFoong

I got a really difficult tag from Lin Foong.

The Rules

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. List eight (8) random facts about yourself.
3. Tag eight people at the end of this post and list their names.
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving them a comment on their blogs.


It says facts right? It's not some truth or dare game right? So I'll just feed this post with some known facts la. kaka.. No first crush secret. Nope. lol.


Fact 1: I love swimming. As mentioned I'm taking up life saving course. Had 6 lessons already but still haven't learned much. hehe. Not yet learn CPR, first aid and throw lifesaver. I just got to learn the three towing methods, got to practice swimming 25 m underwater without breathing, got to practice my stamina to swim 300 m within 9 minutes and finally try to achieve swimming 100 m within 100 seconds! Every time I going to swim lessons I have to do all these. It's really fun and exciting. =D

And my plan is to teach kids swimming after I got my Bronze Medallion certs under Aeroswim (of course after being trained up to be a couch la). Hope I can cope it coz it involves safety of the kids. It's a very heavy responsibility.


Fact 2: I have blood-phobia (or more specifically wound-phobia). I can work with blood in test tubes like what I did in Gribbles lab. But looking at deep cuts or wounds like maybe deeper than 2 mm will make me faint. Seriously. That's why being a doctor is never in my ambition list. lol. And I never have this regret-of-not-getting-good-results-to study-medicine feeling coz I really can't deal with wounds. Same thing to nurse. lol..


Here's a small story as a good example to my wound-phobia. My ex-roommie (CP) got a cut in her ring finger and her finger kept bleeding. So she used a T-shirt to press on her wound to stop it from bleeding. So, I accompany her to clinic coz it was 11pm and Audrey was asleep already. I was ok all the while, boarding the taxi, rushing with her to clinic.

Then drama happened in the room, when the doctor cleaned the wound and slightly drag the skin apart to see how deep the wound was, the flesh freaked me out! lol. I felt my brain juice was spinning, or maybe it was the clinic room which was spinning. lol. Then I fell unconscious. The next thing I knew was two guy nurses drag me out of the room, saying "if you know you can't see blood then don't follow in la". My whole body was covered in cold sweat and I felt really weak. Can't move my limbs. lol.

The next day everyone's attention was on my passing-out news instead of the 10 stitches CP got for her wound. The next day only CP told me that she thinks I hit on the cupboard in the room before I fell onto the floor coz she heard a big something-fall-onto-the-metal sound. And everyone had a good laugh on me for God knows how long. So malu.

p/s: I purposely put this up to let more people laugh about it. lol. Life should be full of laughter. =P


Fact 3: Errm.. Can't think of any le. Just simply say some small small facts la. I have this small dream that I want to climb Mount Kinabalu when I was 16. But, I haven't reach this dream yet. Sigh. I really hope I can achieve this little dream of mine. Especially when almost everyone around had already climb it and get a cert from there. Urgh.. I feel I'm such a failure.

Fact 4: Last time I have very low self-esteem with my bulu-ful and dark skin. lol. Dunno why now I seldom have this thinking already. At least I don't think my hand looks like it's covered by a 'furry' blanket now. lol Maybe because I shave my leg already Now I dun mind my hand being too bulu-ful already. keke

Fact 5: I love and enjoy lame jokes. Huh? Want more explanation for this? All right. I love it coz I'm lame myself. There's a saying that we should love our family members. And lame jokes are my sisters. keke..

Fact 6: I dread to be a girl every month. lol. I always seriously hope that I can be transformed into a guy. But soon after the pain had gone I always find myself enjoy being a girl after all. And the cycle goes on.

Fact 7: My tongue can touch my nose and it can even stretch pass my chin. When I was still a kid, I can even stuck my tongue into my nose. lol.. I know its gross. So I better jump to the next fact.

Fact 8: I love to write Chinese poems when I was 13 despite my hate towards factual essays. I continued to write Chinese poems until I was 20. Then, the busy lifestyle of Monash had taken over. So, I stopped writing. Last year, I tried to push myself to write again (but very cacat one la.. coz rusted already mah). I put all my recent poems in my another blog called pixnet. Will try to korek out my old poems from home to put on the blog also. =)



Ok. It's time to tag people. But hor I can only found 6 person to tag wor. Zhuang, Mun K, Yick Hui, Purple Apple, Fishiefacy, Valerie, you are tagged! =P


It's really hard to write 8 random facts without even some clue what I should include in these 8 facts. lol. I find those with questions easier to answer.

I hate rain. So does the rain.

I hate it! And I think it hates me too!!! I mean me and the rain.

Was driving back from work today and planning to go SS15 to buy bus ticket home for this Thursday. The sky was gloomy. Then when I reach the Motorola bridge there, the rain started pouring down heavily. There's no sign of ceasing. Argh.. And the thunder was scary. It stroke right down behind the buildings in front of me. And a few more stroke straight down too. The heavily pouring rain blur the vision of the road, adding to my fear. So, I turned the radio louder trying to cover the sound of thunder and rainfall outside.

The rain got heavier when I was queueing up the traffic towards the SS15. I regretted my decision of turning into this long traffic queue, regretted to have the decision to buy the bus ticket today. And what's worse was that the rain didn't even get better. It got worse. How was I suppose to get out of the car to buy bus ticket? =(

But what to do. I was already on the way, might as well just continue with my plan. Then, with my pitiful little umbrella I brave myself towards the ATM, withdrew some money and then got back to the car. My jeans and bag were soaking wet! And my cushion and the inside of the car door were also wet! Arghhh again!!!

Then, I pulled my car near the JJ shop and rush down with my umbrella again. The rain water 'splashed' onto my cushion and my jeans again!!! %@#$&^%&@ I dragged my soaking wet jeans into the shop, feeling very uneasy when the jeans stuck onto my skin. After buying the ticket and stepped out of the shop, the rain totally stopped. I was like.. WTH?!! Are you kidding me?

Argh. I hate rain. And so does the rain.

*********************

Went to look for newspaper to buy today. Ever since Pak Lah became PM, I stopped having the urge to read newspaper. Back to Dr M's time, I liked to read newspapers coz he always create dramas on the newspaper about his views on international issues and what not. And he was always outspoken and loud. Maybe I biased la. But during Pak Lah time, the dramas are only the kidnap cases of innocent kids, rob cases, rape cases and corruptions, everyday the same thing over and over again, not much outspoken views on international issues. The post-election fever had finally triggered my desire to read newspaper again coz this huge election results drama occured.

So, after so many years, I finally had the desire to keep up with Malaysia's news. This is a good sign for me, to have back the urge to read newspaper. lol. I hope I can continue reading newspaper from now on and be a concerned citizen. =)

Of all the songs I love Simple Plan's "When I'm gone" coz I think the lyrics is meaningful (note those I highlight in red)


I look around me
But all I seem to see
Is people going nowhere
Expecting sympathy
It's like we're going through the motions
Of a scripted destiny
Tell me where's our inspiration
If life won't wait
I guess it's up to me

Whoah
No we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
Whoah
We wont come back, the world is coming out
Whoah
Leave the past in the past gonna find the future
And misery loves company
Well so long
You'll miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Procrastination running circles in my head
While you sit there contemplating
you'll wind up left for dead
Life is what happens
While you're busy making your excuses
Another day, another casualty
But that won't happen to me

(Let's go)
Won't look back
When I say goodbye
I'm gonna leave this hole behind me
Gonna take what's mine tonight
'cause every wasted day
Becomes a wasted chance
You're gonna wake up feeling sorry
'cause life won't wait
I guess it's up to you

There were 4 things/people that can make me cry last time: A good book, a good Korean drama, a good movie, and my mum. I'd cry when she's upset with me. And I'd cry whenever I picture her leaving me especially after my nightmares of her dying. I think she's my VVIP in my life. No one is going to replace her.

But now, one more person is added to the list. It's Heng. He touched me so deep down to my heart until I can't stop the tears from rolling in my eyes.

I'm glad that he always treasures me. And I treasure every moments we share on webcam. I like the way we make faces to each other and the way he laughs when the faces I made were funny.


p/s: But mum is still my VVIP. When she's mad at me or when I imagine that one day she will leave me, I feel suffocated.

I need the determination to read up the journals and write a proposal out of it. I should worry about whether-or-not-I-get-the-offer later.
